Story & Photos by K.D. Michaels Staff Writer The weather was perfect as shoppers and spectators made their way into downtown Branson for the 47th annual Autumn Daze. Autumn Daze, a favorite Bran-

son tradition, features a variety of arts and crafts booths, food vendors and three full days of entertainment. Those in attendance also found fabulous bargains at many of the downtown Branson shops’ sidewalk sales.

Many new vendors attended this year’s Autumn Daze, including several working craftsmen on exhibit. See our gallery of Autumn Daze photos, starting on page 10 of this edition.

Continued from page 1 the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and ecology, is celebrated annually at churches around the world on October 4.

Francis, born in 1182, was the son of a wealthy cloth merchant. He heard God’s call to live a life of poverty while serving the poor and all of creation and he believed that humans were just one part of that creation. It was said that Francis was so connected

with nature that he could communicate with animals. St. Mark’s Episcopal Church views the Blessing of the Animals service “as a celebration of God’s great and diverse world created with love. “Sometimes it is difficult to understand how God could love people unconditionally. It becomes a little easier to understand when one has experienced the unconditional love of a pet.” The service is open to everyone in the community and their pets. Due to Covid 19, this year’s service will be held in the parking lot of the church. Pets and their owners remain in their cars. Masked attendants will pass out bulletins to follow along with the service. After the service, each car will drive to the front of the church where pets and their owners will be blessed and receive a special treat before driving home. For more information call St. Mark’s Episcopal Church at 417-338-5488.

College of the Ozarks reveals plans for patriotic education center on campus Submitted to Branson Globe POINT LOOKOUT, MO. — College of the Ozarks is establishing The William S. Knight Center for Patriotic Education on its campus, built by its staff and students, with completion slated for 2021. The Center will house the required Patriotic Education classes, attended by all college freshmen, as well as a variety of programs to foster good citizenship. The Center is a physical embodiment of the patriotic goal of the College: to encourage an understanding of American heritage, civic responsibilities, love of country, and the willingness to defend it. “A patriotic goal for the College was established nearly 50 years ago, and we remain laser-focused on patriotic education as a key to fulfilling our vision of developing students of Christ-like character who are well-educated, hardworking, and patriotic,” said College President Jerry C. Davis. “Forty-three

years as a college president gives one perspective on many things, including shifts in American culture and ideology.” The patriotic education curriculum at College of the Ozarks includes a freshman-level course (Patriotic Education 103) that is required of all students and includes military science (which may lead to commissioning); civics (including American exceptionalism, U.S. flag code, capitalism versus socialism, events in American history); government (national, state, and local); and current events. Senior-year students are required to take Patriotic Education 401, composed of a unique CitizenTrip™ to Washington, D.C. In the fall of 2019, the College took 150 students on the inaugural E. Bruce Heilman CitizenTrip™, a two-day intensive experience in the nation’s capital. This all-expense paid trip is foundational for the development of students as

FBC Branson hosts 9/11 stair climb in honor of emergency workers By K.D. Michaels Staff Writer First Baptist Church in Branson hosted their second annual 9-11 Stair Challenge, in honor of the many firefighters, police officers, and other emergency personnel who lost their lives on 9-11. In the Stair Challenge, participants climb stairs representing the 110 flights that

emergency workers climbed in the World Trade Center to help those inside. “We started the 9-11 Stair challenge in 2019 after noticing it being done in other cities across the nation,” said First Baptist Church Life Center Director Josh Cerretti. “We wanted to honor our service members in this unique way. We had

people come, climb and pray in memory of those who lost their lives on that day.” The 2019 event brought about 60 participants, but this year’s event saw a tremendous increase, with over 100 in attendance. “The challenge isn’t about completing all 110 floors, although most do, once they get started,”

Cerretti explained. “It is much bigger than that. The stairs are a symbol that reminds us of what took place that day, September 11, 2001. On that day we lost many lives. Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, grandpas, grandmas, nieces, nephews, workers, bystanders, service workers, heroes, Americans. I have always loved finding ways to honor those who serve us. They do this day in and day out. Today when we have people amplifying negative things with their media megaphones, our military and heroes need to hear the much larger voices of people that love them and appreciate them.” Cerretti has found a platform to do just that at First Baptist Church. “I want to use it for His glory, and for others to see and give Him praise,” said Cerretti, of the unique event.

Prior to the Stair Climb, participants selected a name of a fallen hero, either someone they know, or one of the nearly 3,000 who lost their lives on 9-11. Participants then wrote the name on a badge to wear during the climb. Those in attendance not only climbed stairs in memory of those who died, but also prayed for their families, loved ones, and those left behind. Following their climb, each participant rang a bell, then wrote their hero’s name on a banner displayed in the Life Center. Climbers enjoyed snacks and drinks throughout the event, and many stayed after climbing to encourage others on their journey. “I feel people came away with heavy hearts of remembrance,” noted Cerretti. “But, also swollen hearts, marked with thankfulness. We support the men and women who selflessly serve you and me.”

Letter to the Editor

I recently had the honor of representing Missouri and meeting virtually with federal lawmakers to ask that they make cancer a national priority. I did this as a volunteer for American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network’s (ACS CAN). I, along with hundreds of other volunteers across the country, called on Congress to support lifesaving policies that help people prevent and better treat cancer. We asked legislators for their support in increasing federal funding for cancer research and prevention programs and to improve equitable access to cancer clinical trials for underrepresented populations, including communities of color, people in rural areas and the poor. By removing barriers to their participation, more people will be able to access the latest treatment and researchers will be able to enroll enough people to do their lifesaving work.

I had the opportunity to speak with Nick Seelinger staff of Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO), Daniel Kishi staff of Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), and Tanner Warbinton staff of Representative Billy Long (R-MO), and tell them that cancer isn’t partisan—it touches every community. Congress should seize the opportunity to pass critical, bipartisan legislation that can help save lives and end cancer as we know it. With more than 1,600 people dying from cancer every day, we must take legislative action on these important issues. I encourage you to join us, giving us a stronger and louder voice in the fight against cancer. Visit fightcancer.org to be connected to people like me in your community.

citizens, according to Davis. The itinerary for the trip includes stops at Arlington National

Cemetery, the White House, the United States Capitol, and the National Archives Museum. “No other college in America is taking such a leadership role with efforts of this magnitude,”

Artist’s rendering of the William S. Knight Center for Patriotic Education. (Special to Branson Globe)

Davis said. “The seeds of the anti-American sentiment were sown in the 60s, particularly on college campuses, and are now bearing fruit.” Over the last five years, the College completed other significant projects to fulfill its patriotic educational goal. Patriots Park was completed in spring 2019 with the dedication of The Global War on Terrorism Memorial. Other memorials in the park depict all major wars of the twentieth century. The Lest We Forget 9.11 Memorial stands in the center of campus, where an annual commemorative service is held. A signature program for the College is the Patriotic Education Travel Program. Since 2009, the College has financed trips for more than 150 Veterans

and nearly 400 students who have traveled together on trips across the globe to visit battle sites in which these heroes fought. “Reading books, watching documentaries, and writing papers could not have prepared me for the trip of a lifetime,” said Caleb McElvain, 2015 graduate and participant of the Patriotic Education Travel Program. “Hearing stories from Veterans and seeing their eyes gaze upon the ground where they risked their lives, I began to understand how their time in the Vietnam War changed them. I began to change as well.” The William S. Knight Center for Patriotic Education began as a renovation to an existing building on the College of the Ozarks campus last summer.

bransonglobe.com The Center contains more than 6,700 square feet and will feature patriotic education classrooms, military science classrooms, a drill room, and a media center for producing resources for schools and the public. The foundation is named for Bill Knight, an ardent patriot who worked vigorously to protect Americans’ liberties and free enterprise system. In 2019, the William S. Knight Foundation granted College of the Ozarks funds in order to make The William S. Knight Center for Patriotic Education a reality. “The overarching purpose of the Center is to better prepare our students to reestablish the America our founders intended,” said Dr. Marci Linson, vice president for patriotic activities and dean of admissions.

Get a library card and check out something incredible Submitted to Branson Globe September is national library card sign-up month and Taneyhills Library is open for business.

Are you armed with a Taneyhills Library Card? Local supporter and mom Wendy Wabeke Dawson attests, “It’s the best purchase I’ve

made in Branson. The Taneyhills Library has a diversity of classics and new releases. I always find great things to read.”

Superheroes are larger than life, courageous, and seem to overcome everything.

Want to hone your super skill? Taneyhills Library is providing a new online tool for library card holders. The Missouri Library Association is funding a subscription to Learning Express. With a Taneyhills Library card, users have access to career preparation and certification, high school equivalency support and prep, along with test preparations for important exams like the ACT, SAT, AP and more.

Grant gives patients access to books and magazines Submitted to Branson Globe If you’ve sat in a hospital or clinic waiting room recently, you probably noticed a longtime staple has disappeared: reading materials. “Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, we’ve had to remove all books and magazines from our waiting areas to prevent transfer of germs,” explained Cox Medical Center Branson Communications Manager Brandei Clifton. Now, thanks to a grant from Skaggs Foundation, patients and visitors no longer have to sit idle while they wait. The grant, which was awarded to Taneyhills Community Library, makes thousands of titles available to Cox Medical Center Branson patients and visitors. In just a few simple steps, patients and visitors are able to access on their own personal device the online resource RB Digital. “This virtual option gives folks the opportunity to access a collection of books and magazines without that risk,” Clifton

Girl Scout takes a creative stand against stress Good News Network Even before the pandemic, Girl Scout Lucy Stimson knew there was a growing problem in her community. Stress was a huge part of her life—and many of the people in her community felt the same way. That’s why Lucy chose to take a stand and help others for her Girl Scout Gold Award. The Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can earn, and requires 80 hours of volunteering to create a sustainable difference in the community. She started a Facebook Page, Making a Stress-Free Breakthrough, and has been regularly posting tips since April. The page features different ways to reduce stress, with topics ranging from meditation and mindfulness to pep talks and fun videos. She has recently included a Stress Workshop Guidebook

containing a variety activities, like how to make a stress ball. She also posted a homemade coloring book for getting into the zen of artwork at home, and an excellent animal crossword puzzle that you can download. When asked how the project has effected her life and community, Lucy told GNN, “The project has helped me by opening up to my family about mental health. I found it in myself to tell my parents about my stress and anxiety.” “I have been using some of the techniques to calm myself when I get overly stressed. This helped me to put what I have been feeling into perspective, and to ask for help.” She also created her own stress-busting website that has all the tips and tricks neatly arranged on the homepage.

“Sometimes stress is so overwhelming and it seems to consume you, but that doesn’t mean that you have to settle for that. I have done my project because I have been there. I know how it

feels, it’s hard. If I can help even one person, it will all be worth it,” Stimson added. “I think we all need a little help sometimes,” said Lucy. “Especially now.”

Electrician comes to the rescue of an elderly woman and brings community with him Good News Network Like many elderly Americans, Gloria Scott lives on a limited income. Sometimes, that means making hard choices. If money’s tight, home repair and maintenance are often the first things to fall by the wayside. When Scott’s overhead light fixture went out, however, she decided living in the dark wouldn’t do. Though she knew her budget would take a hit, she called in electrician John Kinney to make the necessary repairs. Little did the 72-year-old know, she wasn’t just getting an electrician, she was getting a knight in shining armor as well. Deeply troubled by the extreme state of disrepair he found Scott’s house in, Kinney couldn’t get the woman’s desperate situation out of his head. “No lights, running water… I [saw] her on a Friday and it stuck with me over the weekend… I said, ‘I got to go back there,’” Kinney told CBS. Rather than walk away, Kinney went back to Scott’s place and started working on some other much-needed repairs—free of charge. But he didn’t stop there.

Kinney set up a “Nice old lady needs help” Facebook page to solicit other local tradespeople to lend a hand as well. The enthusiastic response was pretty amazing. With an impressive chunk of the Woburn, Massachusetts community rallying to the call, so far, Scott’s home has gotten new electricical and plumbing systems, new windows, and extensive repairs to the crumbling walls, ceilings, front steps, and porch. Meanwhile outside, as neighbors toiled on landscape cleanup and new planting projects, a steady flow of food donations streamed in to feed the volunteers. To say Scott was blown away by the outpouring of generosity is an understatement. “Look at these people!” she exclaimed. “… [You] can’t even comprehend the gratitude that I have.” Naming the initiative Gloria’s Gladiators, Kinney hopes to inspire a legion of like-minded knights in shining armor—electric or otherwise—to help needy seniors in their own communities.

Good News Network Since 1993, 48 mammal and bird species, including the scimitar-horned oryx, California condor, and black-footed ferret, have been saved from extinction by conservation actions, a new study finds. According to the researchers’ models, this coordinated effort by governments, academic institutions, nonprofits, and others prevented the rate of mammalian and avian extinctions from reaching levels 300-400% higher. This included some wonderful conservation efforts such as those for the Przewalski’s horse, of which 760 now roam the steppes of Mongolia once again after it went extinct in the wild during the 1960s, and the Iberian lynx, 176 of which have been reintroduced to the wilds of Spain between 2002 and 2010. It’s easy to say things would have been much worse, or that conservation has saved a lot of species, but how exactly does a scientist measure such things? The researchers from Newcastle University used four different criteria to measure conservation actions, and compared the number of species listed as extinct in the wild or critically endangered, that historically have benefited from these criteria, to the flat number of known extinctions across two periods—1993-2020 and 2010-2020. What they found was that between 1993-2020, extinction rates would have been 3.1 to 4.2 times higher for birds, representing about 21-32 different birds, and 2.4 to 4.2 times higher for mammals, representing about 7-16 mammal species that might have included the critically endangered Sumatran and Javan rhinoceros. Dr. Rike Bolam from Newcastle University, co-lead author of the study, told the Guardian, “It is encouraging that some of the species have recovered very well. Our analyses provide a strikingly

netic, social, economic, scientific, educational, cultural, recreational and aesthetic values of biological diversity and its components,” starts the lofty language of the treaty, “[resolve to pursue] the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components and the fair and

“The loss of entire species can be stopped if there is sufficient will to do so,” said the study’s co-author Phil McGowan. “This is a call to action: showing the scale of the issue and what we can achieve if we act now to support conservation and prevent extinction.”

Conservation programs have prevented at least 48 animal extinctions

positive message that conservation has substantially reduced extinction rates for birds and mammals.” Of all the rescued species, the largest numbers of birds saved was in New Zealand (6) and Brazil (5), and the largest number of mammals was in China (5) and Vietnam/U.S. (3). The study also found that different families benefited differently from different conservation strategies. Birds benefited more from invasive species control and habitat protection, while mammals were saved more by government legislating and zoo reintroduction programs. The two periods correspond to the signings of major international understandings on the importance of biodiversity. The first is the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), and the second is the Aichi Conservation Targets, adopted by parties to the CBD in 2010. The CBD treaty, signed during the first convention hosted in Rio in 1993, laid out a structure for modern, internationally collaborative conservation efforts that involved all the countries of the world, not only those in Europe and America. “[The parties,] conscious of the intrinsic value of biological diversity and of the ecological, ge-

equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources.” The CBD’s 2010 Aichi Conservation Targets were set for review in 2020, and include such goals as preventing the extinction of threatened species, while simultaneously improving their conservation status.

McDonald’s franchise owner gives away 10,000 meals from a portable restaurant Good News Network Most people are familiar with McRibs, that guilty pleasure that sometimes graces the McDonald’s menu, but how many of you know what a McRig is?

Thanks to the quick thinking of one generous McDonald’s franchise owner, residents of storm-ravaged Lake Charles in Louisiana got to see what the company’s mega-version of Meals on Wheels was truly capable of.

Laura is the most powerful hurricane to hit Louisiana since 1856. With widespread flooding, downed power lines, and extensive damage to homes and businesses, residents were left without power, running

water, and many other basic necessities. When Rikesh Patel, who owns and operates 25 McDonald’s locations in the area, realized the storm’s full impact the day Laura made landfall, he knew he had to take action. “Pictures don’t do it justice,” he said of the devastation in an interview with CNN. “It’s so much worse than what you’re seeing on social media.” Figuring hot meals would be hard to come by for those impacted by Laura’s wrath, he made a call to corporate headquarters with a plea

The “McRig.” (Twitter)

for help. The McRig, a ginormous self-sustaining portable kitchen was dispatched from a Kentucky location and arrived the following day. Patel and his restaurant staff kept the extreme food truck running for six days, serving 10,000 free meals made up of McDonald’s cheeseburgers, fries, and bottled water. “(McDonald’s founder) Ray Kroc believed we must give back to [the] communities that we do business in,” Patel tweeted on the fourth day. “Thank you to our amazing crew and managers for making this belief come alive.”

After cancer diagnosis she starts driving Uber and uses tips to make sandwiches for homeless Good News Network Not only does Kerry Wiles hold down a full-time job as a scientist; on weekends, she works as a rideshare driver who uses her fares and tips to make meals for Tennessee’s homeless community. Kerry began her side gig with Lyft and Uber after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018. She loves people, and thought the job could be a great way to know the stories of others. Along the way, she began using her ride-share earnings to make lunches for the city’s large and growing homeless population. As she drives people around the city, on Saturdays and Sundays she’s able to drop off homemade PB&Js to around 100 homeless people. These days, this is no one-woman sandwich delivery operation. Early on in her side gig as a driver, Kerry—who works Mondays to Fridays as a scientist at the Cooperative Human Tissue Network at Vanderbilt University Medical Center—gave a lift to a 24-yearold local named Ryan Caldwell.

“Without sounding too ‘quirky’, he just has an amazing ‘aura’,” Kerry tells GNN. “When you meet him, his kindness and charisma immediately puts you at ease. When he said he wanted to help deliver lunches with me, I knew he was sincere.” Caldwell felt just the same way. “She’s been my best friend since we started,” he told News Channel 5. Now the friendly pair go out delivering turkey rolls together. “If anyone out there needs a young man to be a role model, he is it,” says Kerry. “The world definitely needs more ‘Ryans’!”

The two-person team are currently putting together a list of shoe sizes for the local homeless community so they can get them boots for winter. To learn more about the initiatives the kind pair have taken on, head to Nashville Homeless Helpers. This isn’t the first time Kerry has gone out of her way to help others. We wrote about the ‘secret society’ initiative she founded to help struggling kids back in 2017. For Kerry, helping others is no struggle. She says, “Small steps in a larger problem can make a beautiful impression on your heart and soul.”

Lawrence Earl Siglin, 1938 - 2020 Lawrence Earl Siglin was born to Jacob and Marie Siglin on June 26, 1938, in Ogden, IA. He passed away on August 19, 2020, at Cox Medical Center in Springfield, MO, where he was being treated for Covid 19. When he was told he would need to be intubated, he declined the treatment, saying he was ready to join his Lord Jesus Christ in heaven. He died the same day. Earl grew up on family farms near Woodward, IA, and Ogden, IA. He attended school in Marcy Center, K-8, graduated from Ogden High School, and was a member of the Swede Valley Lutheran Church. For many years he worked as an active farmer with his father in the Ogden area. Like many of his contemporaries he grew up with a love of fast cars and drove them to the limit. He joined a local bowling team and became so good he considered going professional. He had a great laugh, a large circle of friends, and was fun to be around. He never married but loved children. While in his mid 30’s, Earl began searching for meaning and purpose in his life. Fast cars, fast living and success on the family farm just wasn’t cutting it. He felt there had to be more. In a divine turn of events, Earl met a local pastor and persuaded him to lead a bible study in his home. Earl threw himself into studying the bible. Not long afterwards, he understood the gospel of grace, repented of his sins and trusted in Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. From this point onwards, his life took on a radical change. Earl began to feel that his purpose in life was to preach the Gospel. He helped many people in need both spiritually and financially. His ministry included Ogden Baptist Church and the Berean Bap-

tist Church in Boone, IA. He also started broadcasting weekly sermons for a radio station in Boone, IA, which were very popular. Later he moved to Falls City, NE, to pastor a small church and then to St. Joseph, MO, where he started a prison ministry. He continued serving in prison ministry when he moved to the Branson area where he was also involved with several churches. Earl was a deeply commited evangelist, and he loved sharing the gospel of Jesus locally, at the Landing, in restaurants along the Strip and in Reeds Spring, with anyone who was interested. Earl was preceded in death by his parents and is survived by his brothers, Roger Siglin (Jacqueline), Alpine, TX, and Donald Siglin (Helen), Oro Valley, AZ; nephews and nieces: Kurt Siglin (Brooke), Spokane, WA, JoAnn Siglin (Mark), Frisco, CO, Douglas Siglin (Apna), Rotterdam, The Netherlands, DiAnne Siglin Ball ( Jason), Tucson, AZ; great-nieces: Regan Siglin Russell (Howland), Boston, MA, Hannah Siglin, Los Angeles, CA, plus many cousins, other relatives, and friends. Earl’s body will be laid to rest at the family cemetery in Iowa. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, no services are planned by the family at this time. A memorial service for family and friends of Earl will take place at the First Baptist Church of Branson, MO, 400 S. Sunshine St., Branson, MO, (417-3347437) on Thursday, September 24, 2020 at 11:00 am.

Florida city repeals ban on saggy pants

OPA-LOCKA, Fla. (AP) — After 13 years, a South Florida city has overturned a ban on “saggy pants” — bottoms that reveal the wearer’s underwear. The Opa-locka City Commission voted Wednesday on a 4-1 vote to repeal both the original 2007 legislation and a 2013 ordinance that said women, not just men, could receive civil citations for wearing pants that exposed their undergarments. The Miami Herald reports that the vote was a first reading of the repeal, meaning it will need to be approved again at a subsequent commission meeting before it’s official. But the item was co-sponsored by four of the five commissioners. Around the city, which is northeast of Miami, signs still warn folks of the ordinance. They showing an image of two young men wearing pants below their waists and featuring the words: “No ifs, ands or butts ... It’s the city law!” “I was never in support of it, even as a resident,” Vice Mayor Chris Davis, who sponsored the repeal, told the Miami Herald. “I felt it disproportionately affected a certain segment of our population, which is young, African-American men.” When the ordinance was first passed, the ACLU of Florida called it a “ridiculous waste of public resources,” saying it would “impose overly harsh penalties for victimless behavior” and disproportionately affect Black youths.

Fleeing suspect abandons winning lottery ticket

CANTON, Ga. (AP) — A suspect in Georgia left his good luck behind when he abandoned a winning lottery ticket while fleeing sheriff’s deputies. The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office says the man had a

Georgia Lottery scratch game card worth $100 when he ran away during a traffic stop on Interstate 75 on Monday. In a Facebook post, it offered its congratulations and invited him to claim the ticket at its office in Canton about 40 miles north of Atlanta. The man, who was not identified, was later taken into custody, sheriff’s spokesman Capt. Jay Baker told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Baker said the man was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over for a tag violation, and he ran into the woods. The lottery ticket was in a backpack that also had methamphetamine, according to Baker. The man can have the lottery ticket

Drone lands at Wrigley Field, causing delay

CHICAGO (AP) — Umpires hastily cleared the field during a game between the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night when a small drone flew into Wrigley Field over the bleachers and landed on the grass in deep left center. As Willson Contreras came to bat with two outs in the bottom of the fifth and the game tied at 2, the device was spotted over the left-center stands. Before the drone landed, umpires rushed players into the dugouts. The blinking drone took off, hovered at about 100 feet, then

pulled away and vanished past the vintage center-field scoreboard. Following a 7-minute delay, Contreras resumed his at-bat and grounded out to end the inning.

Electric fence deters Trump sign thieves

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts man tired of people stealing his Donald Trump campaign sign has come up with a shocking solution: an electrified fence around it. John Oliveira, 54, a disabled Navy veteran and a member of the New Bedford School Committee, put the fence up a few weeks ago. Oliveira told Southcoasttoday. com, which first reported the story, that he started displaying a

Trump sign on his lawn in late May. The first one disappeared in July. In all, six signs were taken, he told The Boston Globe. His latest sign has not been stolen since the fence went up. “I’m defending my property and my right to free speech,” he said. The yellow and black solar-powered fence, purchased from a farm supply store, is about 3 1/2 feet high. It has warning signs in English, Spanish and French. He has informed police of the thefts. The fence is not pretty, he acknowledged. “But I’m not going to not put a sign up because somebody keeps stealing it or somebody keeps taking it because they don’t like what I’m saying,” he said.
