By K.D. Michaels Staff Writer An estimated 1,600 boats, decked in red, white and blue, and waving flags, participated in the Table Rock Lake Labor Day Float Parade on Saturday, with thousands of spectators enjoying from the shore, as well as from homes and boat docks along the parade route.
Deemed a huge success by those in charge, the parade was bigger and better than planned. “We had a group of volunteers counting boats,” said Brett Taillon, one of the parade organizers. “They counted 1,123 boats. That didn’t include boats that peeled off early or joined later. In total I would guess that it was easily 1,600 boats participating.”
The parade on the western side of the lake, starting in Shell Knob, featured 297 boats. Taillon showed appreciation to all who helped with the spectacular event. “Mike Sorci did an amazing job with the music.

By Pat Lamb The three r’s, reading, ‘riting’, and ‘rithmetic’, are still the most important subjects in school because everything else is based on these three things. There are innumerable complaints that children are not learning these things as they should. Help from parents is definitely needed to make sure that children learn these basics. Parents can help their children learn to be good writers in a number of ways. “Practice makes perfect” certainly applies to writing. Practice helps with both the mechanical aspects of learning to make the letters and the mental organizing and creating of subject matter. Very young children who have toys requiring the use of motor skills in the hands are more apt to learn to print well using sticks and circles to make the letters of the alphabet. Making dots for children in the shapes of the letters provides a guide to follow. Cursive writing is not given a great deal of emphasis in today’s educational process since it is not used as much as in the past. After all, most job applications say, “Please print,” and computers are available for composing letters and stories. Although it is nice to know cursive writing, limited time in school demands that teachers emphasize subjects that are very practical. At one time, cursive writ-

ing was necessary for taking notes in college classes, but now students can record a lecture or download necessary information on their computers. When older children are required to write essays, a good way to tell them to organize the essay is the “five finger rule”. One finger is for the introduction where three points are named. The next finger is for a new paragraph to talk about the first item named. The next finger represents the next paragraph to talk about the second thing and the next finger represents another paragraph to talk about the third thing. The last finger is to summarize the essay by restating what was said in the first paragraph. This five para-
graph essay is taught to GED students to write an essay for passing the GED test. The format works in most cases and can also be used as an outline for making a speech. It is helpful to have a child draw around his/her hand on a piece of paper and label the five fingers for the five paragraphs. Many students have trouble in knowing what to say when they write. Questions help a child to expand thinking. Taking the time to discuss a topic with a child helps give ideas. A background of various experiences is always a big help in providing material for writing. The Internet is a gold mine of information. Reading, writing, and speaking form what educators call the lan-
guage triangle. As a child improves in any one of the three, the other two are also enhanced. Children need to do a lot of reading and a great deal of writing. Unfortunately, many inventions are harmful as well as helpful. Since the copy machine was invented, children often just fill in blanks to answer a question. Good writing should be required at home and in all classes at school, not just the communications class. If a child is allowed to get by with sloppy writing in math, science, social studies, and health classes, the one class in language is not likely to succeed in teaching good writing skills. Consistency is important. Parents would be wise to see that their children are doing plenty of writing and doing it well.

Collectively, we are just really grateful for this opportunity and look forward to getting back on stage to do what we love.” ‘Dean Z - The Ultimate Elvis’ is a high energy musical that
spans the 20 year career of the ‘King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.’ It travels from his rise to fame in the 1950s, through the 1960s to his final Las Vegas performances of the 1970s. “We are very excited to have Dean Z at our theatre,” said Clay Cooper. “He is the ultimate professional and the best Elvis tribute artist I have ever seen. His excitement and energy has been encouraging for all of us.This is a must see show for all ages.” The show’s 10 piece band features a horn section, vocalists and an immersive video displaying photos of Elvis at various ages and stages of his life. “The Elvis show at the Clay Cooper theatre is must see,” said Art Buecher a member of opening night’s audience. “We have been to other shows with Elvis impersonators but this guy was over the top. I would say by far the best. It was an absolute blast.”

Missouri State Board of Nursing approves inclusion of paramedics in nursing education model by 2021 Courtesy of Missouri DCI The Missouri State Board of Nursing has approved the expansion of an innovative, student-centered approach to help paramedics become licensed nurses while also addressing the nursing shortage in Missouri. The program, offered by Ozarks Technical Community College (OTC), gained the Board’s approval to offer paramedics admission to their already existing asynchronous hybrid LPN to RN nursing program. The paramedics must complete an eight-week introduction to nursing course before being admitted into the program. This course will first be offered to paramedics in March of 2021. “Ozarks Technical Community College is a leader in nursing education,” said Bibi Schultz, director of education for the Missouri State Board of Nursing. “This innovative approach to provide direct articulation for LPNs, and now paramedics, to earn their Associate of Science Degree in Nursing and become RNs continues to demonstrate the college’s commitment to address the needs of their students. This allows students to facilitate
their learning while working and meeting obligations which may be barriers to enrollment in a traditional nursing program.” Tena Wheeler, director of the nursing program at Ozarks Technical Community College, said the addition of paramedics to the program was something requested by the community. “This approach is one that will allow the student to continue to work as a paramedic while working toward their nursing degree,” Wheeler said. “It’s a truly cost effective way to achieve their personal and professional goals.” The OTC program was also granted approval to expand the number of students they can accept and will add an additional cohort to their already existing four cohorts. The Board of Nursing has made working with nursing programs who have creative ideas to approach teaching and learning a high priority as the state’s nursing shortage continues. “Working with the Board of Nursing has always been a great experience,” Wheeler said. “They’re the first place I call when we have an innovative idea.”

MDC revises coyote hunting regulations and invasive species control By Jill Pritchard Courtesy of MDC JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) updated regulations to the Wildlife Code of Missouri regarding coyote hunting and feral hog control at its Sept. 4 Conservation Commission meeting in Jefferson City. The change comes in response to citizen requests to the Regulations Committee to use night vision, infrared, thermal imagery equipment or artificial light to hunt coyotes and from landowners to allow their authorized representatives to use night vision, infrared or thermal imagery equipment without prior approval from a conservation agent to address damage caused by feral hogs. The revised regulations allow landowners who own property of any size and their authorized representatives to possess, control and use night vision, infrared and thermal imagery equipment to kill feral hogs on the landowner’s property while in possession of
any implement where wildlife could be killed or taken. Landowners and their representative would be authorized to kill or take feral hogs using these methods without prior approval from a conservation agent throughout the year. The regulations also allow properly licensed hunters to use artificial light, night vision, infrared or thermal imagery equipment in conjunction with other legal hunting methods to pursue and take coyotes from Feb. 1 through March 31. The regulations become effective Nov. 30. MDC notes that property owners and their representatives can still use night vision, infrared, thermal imaging equipment or artificial light to kill coyotes or other wildlife causing property damage at any time of the year with written authorization from a conservation agent.

A new federal moratorium on evictions is in place through December 31, 2020. (Special to Branson Globe)
Federal eviction moratorium may not be enough to help By Mary Schuermann Kuhlman, Courtesy of Public News Service JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -What was expected to be a tsunami of evictions has been calmed temporarily, but that doesn’t mean Missouri renters who’ve fallen behind on their rent are completely off the hook. A new national eviction ban went into effect September 4 and runs through the end of the year for people unable to pay rent due to lost income because of the pandemic. Tara Raghuveer, director of KC Tenants, noted tenants will still need to pay their mounting back rent when the moratorium expires. “Ultimately it’s a half-measure, because an eviction moratorium was never going to save us,” said Raghuveer. “Tenants have been clear about that since March. Eviction moratoriums were only part of the solution, and the longer-term solution is rent and mortgage cancellation.” Affordable housing advocates are also calling on Congress to provide at least $100 billion in emergency rental assistance to help prevent both tenants and landlords from falling further into debt. The group KC Tenants has joined several other advocacy or-
ganizations in a letter demanding that Missouri’s Supreme Court halt eviction filings, hearings, and enforcement in the state for at least six months. Raghuveer said the federal moratorium will provide some relief for now. “Thousands of tenants have already lost their homes in the last several months, as our local and state officials have failed to step up and protect poor and working-class people,” said Raghuveer. “So now, I’m hearing some sighs of relief from tenants who feel like they may be protected by this order.” Renters who want to apply for the federal eviction moratorium need to fill out a declaration form. Raghuveer suggested getting get in touch with a local legal service provider or tenant organization in Missouri for information and assistance. “One thing that we’re very fearful of is that a landlord may just claim that they never got the form and evict the tenant anyway,” she said. “So, KC Tenants is going to step up and be a witness to kind of protect that process.” The residential eviction moratorium is for people earning $98,000 dollars or less, or households earning $198,000 or less, who are at risk of homelessness if evicted.

GM to make electric vehicle, supply batteries for Nikola DETROIT (AP) — General Motors announced its second major electric vehicle partnership in less than a week on
Tuesday, this time a $2 billion deal with startup Nikola. GM will take an 11% ownership stake in the Phoenix company and
will engineer and build Nikola’s Badger hydrogen fuel cell and electric pickup truck. The Badger is expected to be in production by the end of 2022.
GM also will help with cost reductions for Nikola’s other vehicles including heavy trucks, and the company will use GM’s battery system and hydrogen fuel technology. In exchange for the 10-year deal, GM will get a $2 billion worth of Nikola’s newly-issued common stock that will come three increments through 2025. The move sets up GM for a new revenue stream and possibly a change in its business model, essentially becoming a parts supplier to other companies for electric vehicle frames, batteries, controls and components. GM has been under pressure from Wall Street to more quickly monetize its electric vehicle technology, perhaps spinning off its EV unit as a separate company. Barra said on a conference call that GM has “platform that others can use that’s going to give us scale and help us drive efficiency.” She said the electric vehicle platform and batteries are attractive to other companies, which is a huge opportunity for GM. “We’re going to leverage that and really seize the opportunity that we have to grow,” she said. However, she wouldn’t comment

on whether GM is in talks with other companies. Nikola will be responsible for the sales and marketing of the Badger, but it will be built on GM’s new battery electric truck underpinnings and use GM fuel cell and battery technology. GM also will supply batteries for other Nikola vehicles including heavy trucks. GM has its own battery electric truck, a GMC Hummer, due to go on sale a year ahead of the Badger. Nikola shares leaped nearly 50% to $53.32 in Tuesday afternoon trading, while GM shares were up nearly 11% to $33.16. The deal is the second major partnership announced by GM this month as it lines up companies to share in the costs of developing electric and autonomous vehicle technology. On Thursday GM said it would join with Japanese automaker Honda to share the costs of building vehicles powered by batteries and internal combustion engines. GM expects to get more than $4 billion in benefits from the deal with the stock as well as from contracting to manufacture the Badger. GM also will get supply contracts SEE NIKOLA, PAGE 16

Another reason to drop a few pounds: Obesity may be tied to serious COVID-19 NEW YORK (AP) — In the early days of the pandemic, doctors noticed something about the people severely ill from COVID-19: Many were obese. The link became more apparent as coronavirus swept across the globe and data mounted, and researchers are still trying to figure out why. Excess weight increases the chances of developing a number of health problems, including heart disease and diabetes. And those are among the conditions that can make COVID-19 patients more likely to get very sick. But there’s some evidence that obesity itself can increase the likelihood of serious complications from a coronavirus infection. One study of more than 5,200 infected people, including 35% who were obese, found that the chances of hospitalization rose for people with higher BMIs, even when taking into account other conditions that could put them at risk. Scientists are still studying the factors that might be at play — the way obesity affects the immune system may be one — but say it’s another example of the pandemic illuminating existing public health challenges. Obesity may be one reason some countries or communities have been hit hard by the virus, researchers say. In the United States, the obesity rate among adults has climbed for decades and is now at 42%. The rate is even higher among Black and Hispanic Americans. A person who is 5 feet, 7 inches tall is considered obese starting at around 190 pounds, or a body mass index of 30. The increased risk for serious COVID-19 illness appears more pronounced with extreme obesity, or a BMI of 40 or higher. Researchers say multiple factors likely make it harder for people who are obese to fight a coronavirus infection, which can damage the lungs. Carrying around a lot of extra weight strains the body, and that excess fat could limit the lungs’ ability to expand and breathe.
Another issue is chronic inflammation, which often comes with obesity. Inflammation is a natural way our bodies fight harmful intruders like viruses. But long-lasting inflammation isn’t healthy and could undermine your body’s defenses when a real threat arises. “It’s like pouring gasoline on a smoldering fire,” said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, an obesity researcher and dean of Tufts University’s school of nutrition science and policy near Boston. And even if people who are obese aren’t diagnosed with diabetes or heart disease, Mozaffarian notes their health may not be optimal. How fat is distributed in the body may play a role too. One study found an increased risk for death from COVID-19 for people with severe obesity, but only among men. The findings could reflect that men tend to carry fat around the stomach, said Sara Tartof, a co-author of the study who researches infectious diseases at Kaiser Permanente in Southern California. That type of fat is more associated with the production of a hormone that could be contributing to more severe illness, she said. Scientists are also exploring whether there’s something specific about the coronavirus itself that makes the obese more susceptible to getting very sick. For example, the virus infects cells by attaching to receptors on the surface of certain cells. That receptor is abundant on fat cells and scientists are studying whether that makes them “a good nest for the virus,” said Dr. Francois Pattou at the University of Lille in France, who has co-authored research on the link between obesity and severe COVID-19 illness. Complications in care can arise once hospitalized, too. To help with breathing, for example, doctors have been putting patients hospitalized with COVID-19 on their stomachs. But that can be difficult for the
obese, making it more likely they’re put on ventilators. “They need a machine to help just do the work,” said Dr. David Kass of Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins University, who has co-authored a study on obesity and severe COVID-19 illness. Yet another concern: A
COVID-19 vaccine may not be as effective for the obese, as seems to be the case with the flu and other vaccines. Why that might be isn’t known, but one possibility is that obesity impairs an aspect of the immune system that needs to be activated for vaccines to work, said
Dr. Nancie MacIver, who researches how weight affects the immune system at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. And she said whatever factors are at play would likely be applicable to a COVID-19 vaccine, but added that it is still important to get it.

ing America” in an interview that was conducted last week at his home and aired Monday. Trebek turns 80 on Wednesday. After interviewer T.J. Holmes told Trebek that he looked and sounded great, the TV host drolly replied: “Here I am, folks. Eat me up.” The experimental immunotherapy treatment Trebek is receiving is the same used by former Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada in his fight against pancreatic cancer, “Good Morning America” said. In June, the 80-year-old Reid said his disease is in remission. Congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis lost his six-month battle with the disease at age 80.
Trebek said he’s had difficult days, calling his wife, Jean, a “saint” for her unwavering support as he’s faced moments of sadness and depression. His memoir, “The Answer Is ... Reflections On My Life, ” will be published Tuesday. Its proceeds will go to charity, Trebek said. Trebek has been host of “Jeopardy!” since 1984. The quiz show, which went into reruns early because of the coronavirus pandemic, plans to resume taping for its September return in a few weeks if state and local government restrictions aimed at controlling the virus’ spread allow.
Fox, C-SPAN, NBC moderators for upcoming Trump-Biden debates WASHINGTON (AP) — Representatives from Fox News, C-SPAN and NBC will moderate the upcoming debates between President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden. According to the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates, the moderators will be: —Chris Wallace of Fox News for the debate Sept. 29 in Cleveland. —Steve Scully of C-SPAN for the “town meeting” debate Oct. 15 in Miami. —NBC’s Kristen Welker for the debate Oct. 22 in Nashville, Tennessee. The commission also announced Wednesday that USA Today’s Susan Page will moderate the vice presidential debate on Oct. 7 in Salt Lake City with Vice President Mike Pence and Democrat Kamala Harris. The commission makes its moderator selection independently of the candidates. Trump and Biden have said they will attend the scheduled debates, which are meant to offer voters to opportunity to see the contrast be-
tween the candidates on live television. “I’m looking forward to debating the president and I’m going to lay out as clearly as I can my vision for the county,” Biden said Trump’s team complained that the moderators were not those “we would have recommended if the campaign had been allowed to have any input,” said campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh. “Some can be identified as clear opponents of President Trump, meaning Joe Biden will actually have a teammate on stage most of the time to help him excuse the radical, leftist agenda he is carrying.” Murtaugh noted that Biden, who has not sat recently for an interview with Wallace, will not go face to face with the tough interviewer. Wallace was widely praised for a tough interview with Trump earlier this summer. Trump’s team has tried to pressure the commission to move up the debates, citing increased use of early and absentee voting because of the coronavirus.

Chiefs, Texans fine-tuning for NFL opening Thursday night KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Perhaps never before has the final full practice before an NFL game been more important than this season. With the coronavirus pandemic wiping out the offseason and eliminating all four preseason games, the Chiefs and Texans found themselves going through a final workout Tuesday with plenty of things to iron out — from the basics such as pregame stretch and warm-ups to the last-minute tweaks to formations, play calls and the game plan. After all, the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs and the Texans, whom they beat in the divisional round of the playoffs, know that all eyes will be on them as they kick off the season with a Thursday night showdown at Arrowhead Stadium. “Listen, the first game is always that way,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, “because you’re never quite sure what they’re going to do. You don’t know what we’re going to do. Even with preseason games, the first few games are up in the air. You don’t know what’s going to be presented. But that’s the way it works every year.”
Fair enough. But not every year does a global pandemic fundamentally alter the way the world operates. That includes the professional football, where COVID-19 testing, face masks and hand-washing have become integral parts of the daily routine. “I’m curious to see how the teams play,” Reid admitted. “I think it’s going to be a well-played game, but I’ll be curious.” Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo also acknowledged a bit more trepidation than usual. Part of it is that, even though the Texans have played the Chiefs plenty in recent years, there has been significant turnover among their offensive personnel — DeAndre Hopkins is out, for example, and fellow wide receivers Brandin Cooks and Randall Cobb are in. “You can get a little bit off of the preseason games. You get a little bit of feel for how the opponents are going to interact with each other,” Spagnuolo said. “If we would have had our four normal preseason games then we would’ve seen 25 to 30 snaps of their first group. We kind of missed that so

it’s a little bit of a guessing game. Again, that’s going to be part of the chess match going on during the game. The team that makes the adjustments best will have the best chance of winning.”
The Chiefs have tried to replicate preseason games in workouts, taking advantage of the extra bodies in training camp — they didn’t have to pare down from 80 until this past Saturday — and on the practice squad. But the
speed of practice never quite matches that of a preseason game, and the speed of a preseason game never quite matches a regular-season one. “The first game really is like this SEE CHIEFS, PAGE 16

all the time,” Spagnuolo said. “It’s really more about us and how we function than it is about trying to get tips on what they may do. We’re going to kind of focus on that.” The biggest area of concern for both Reid and Spagnuolo: tackling.
Teams are always wary of the injury risk that comes with tackling in practice. So even during the handful of padded workouts they are allotted in camp, they often prohibit taking players all the way to the ground. But without preseason games to work on such fundamentals, the Chiefs had to tweak the way they approached tackling.
“Tackling at this level is tough on its own. A lot of these guys can make multiple people miss,” Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu said. “I think if you have the ability to play fast, play to your leverage, and use your teammates, I think all tackles aren’t necessarily meant for you to make. Sometimes it’s for you to use your help, two guys can bring down one guy.
As long as we can play fast and play to our leverage and use our teammates, I’m hoping we’ll be fine.” Yes, there sure seems to be a lot of hope as Week 1 approaches. One thing the Chiefs do have going for them is stability within their roster. They brought back most of their own free agents, and along with returning veterans, they have served as helpful ad-hoc coaches to the rookies and
bransonglobe.com newcomers. That has been a boon not only in helping them absorb the playbook but also acclimate to the locker room culture. “We’re in game week now and everybody is ready to go,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “You can feel the intensity. You can feel that mentality. I think everyone’s at the point now where we’re just ready to play football again.”

for batteries and fuel cells and electric vehicle regulatory credits that can be used by GM to comply with fuel economy and pollution standards, or sold to other companies. “We are growing our presence in multiple high-volume EV (electric vehicle) segments while building scale to lower battery and fuel cell costs and increase profitability,” GM CEO Mary Barra said in a statement. Nikola founder and Executive Chairman Trevor Milton said the agreement relieves his company of the expense of building another factory to make the Badger, which is a little larger than a Chevrolet Silverado. Nikola, however, will keep building a U.S. factory in Coolidge, Arizona, to make heavy trucks. Nikola Corp., which hasn’t made a profit yet and lost $86.6 million in the second quarter, ex-
pects to save over $4 billion in battery and powertrain costs over 10 years. Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives, in a note to investors Tuesday, wrote that the deal is huge step forward for Nikola, giving the company credibility with Badger production and its hydrogen fuel cell and semi truck ambitions. “There have been many skeptics around Nikola and its founder Trevor Milton’s ambitions over the coming years, which now get thrown out the window with stalwart GM making a major strategic bet on Nikola,” he wrote. Nikola, founded in 2015, became a public company in June after a merger with VectorIQ Acquisition Corp., a publicly traded special-purpose acquisition company. When it went public, it added former GM Vice Chairman Stephen Girsky, CEO of VectoIQ, to its board of directors. Barra said that Girsky made initial introductions to help start the deal.

You’ve goat to be kidding: Farm animal eats up police papers
DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia sheriff’s deputy delivering civil papers returned to her patrol vehicle to find an eager — and hungry — new driver. The Douglas County deputy was serving the documents near Douglasville last week when she heard something in her patrol car and was met by a goat climbing into the open driver’s side. The animal clamored around, munched on some paperwork and knocked over a drink before managing to bump the deputy to the ground. The sheriff’s office explained in a Facebook post on Friday that the deputy often leaves the door open on such calls in case she has to make a quick escape from aggressive dogs — but she never considered having to retreat from an agitated goat. Officials said the deputy was not physically harmed during the encounter — and she managed to retrieve the soggy paperwork before the animal scampered off.
Police: Man treated after raccoon attack in NJ park
TEWKSBURY, N.J. (AP) — A 79-year-old man had minor injuries after being attacked by a raccoon while walking his dogs in a New Jersey park last week, authorities said. Tewksbury police say the animal bit the man’s pants leg and refused to let go before the victim was able to fight it off in Christie Hoffman Farm Park just after 7 p.m. Friday. Chief Tim Barlow said the man told police he went to a hospital for treatment of scratches to his arm. His two dogs were unhurt. Minutes earlier, police said, a person was chased by a raccoon in the park but managed to get away without injury. Police said the raccoon was lo-
cated and killed and will be tested for rabies. Three animals, a skunk and two raccoons, have tested positive for rabies in the area this year.
Austrian man spends 2.5 hours in box filled with ice cubes
In order to fight the “wave of pain” caused by the freezing temperatures, Koeberl says he was trying to focus on positive emotions. “I’m fighting the pain by visualizing and drawing on posi-
tive emotions so I can dampen this wave of pain,” Koeberl told reporters. “That way I can endure.” A small crowd of people watched on as Koeberl beat his own record from 2019 by 30
minutes on the town square of Melk in Lower Austria. After being taken out of the ice box by helpers he said that the sun felt “really great” on his back.
MELK, Austria (AP) — An Austrian man beat his own record for the longest full body contact with ice cubes on Saturday. Josef Koeberl managed to stay 2 hours, 30 minutes and 57 seconds inside a custom-made glass box filled up to his shoulders with ice cubes. More than 440 pounds of ice cubes were needed to fill up the box, after Koeberl stepped inside wearing nothing but swim trunks.

Cooler, bit of rain but not fall-like quite yet By Daryl Weather, Weather Forecaster There has been a bit of a change in our outlook as compared to what I had in Sunday’s Edition.
The blast of fall air has fallen further to our west than expected. This will be moving eastward and we will start seeing the effects of it by tomorrow.
The 90’s will be gone for a while but temps will now only be in the lower 80’s daily and overnight lows in the mid to upper 60’s through Sunday. Rain
chances will be limited as well. Saturday looking best for a more widespread rainfall.
