P.O.W. Network serves missing soldiers and their families By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer As November approaches, many organizations in Branson are preparing to welcome veterans to Veterans Week, November 5–11. One of those is P.O.W. Network, which is sponsoring the 24th Annual Military Gala on Nov. 8 in addition to hosting a POW/MIA remembrance
ceremony and assisting with many of the week’s events. What some people may not realize though is that P.O.W. Network works tirelessly year-round to serve veterans who may never make it to Branson—some of whom have never made it home and news about whose fate has never reached their
anxious families. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the group has worked since 1989, the last 25 years in Branson, to find and distribute information about soldiers missing in action or thought to have been captured and held as prisoners of war. SEE POWs, PAGE 27
Staff Reports Almost every cancer survivor and cancer treatment patient remembers “the phone call.” The one from the doctor’s office saying, “We need to talk further with you about your test results,” or “Can you come in tomorrow, and bring your husband/wife with you?” It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the news isn’t going to be great. Globe staff writer Cindy Thomas got that call 12 years ago but remembers it well. “I told them waiting six hours for my husband to get off work wasn’t going to help my frame of mind any, so just tell me and get it over with,” said Thomas, who found she had Stage 3 colon cancer. Now cancer-free, Thomas immediately sympathized with Globe digital/production director Karen Halfpop, who recently was diagnosed with Stage 1 SEE JOURNEYS, PAGE 26

By Gary J. Groman, Independent Writer This week the Ole Seagull made the following post to Facebook: “Recently, The Slow Mo Guys put out a super slow-motion video on their You-Tube Channel. Shot a 1k frames per second, it dramatically shows the difference masking can make in helping prevent the spread of COVID-19 https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ66wJFD3bs. Although the video covers coughing, sneezing, and talking, if you don’t have time to watch the whole thing, please watch from 4:10 to 7:23 to see the difference masking makes when simply speaking the words “One, two, three, four [https://bit. ly/31OkRgo]…” Dr. Fauci’s comments on the video while watching it with the producers are very succinct and informative. [Regardless of whether you favor masking or not, if you stopped here and watched the entire 16-minute video, including Dr. Fauci’s remarks, you’d know more about COVID-19 than the vast majority of the general public and get more benefit than reading the rest of this column.] The following, containing all the pertinent dialog between the Ole Seagull and two individuals, shows how people will attempt to twist and distort even a simple video to fit their agenda: Patrick Craig Kansoer Sr. Actually, I did watch the video.
Gary J. Groman (FILE)
The data is used, in my opinion, to show the conclusion that they wanted to show without variables being taken into account. Poor science, but understandable when you have (as Fauci does, or, in the case of Mercy or Cox in the Southern Missouri area), a personal interest in a particular outcome. It also tends to explain the allowance of violations of rules in a certain tourist board. Gary Groman The SloMo guys do all sorts of slow-motion videos on their You-Tube Channel. Don’t believe they have an agenda. The simple straight forward video speaks for itself and has nothing to do with “personal interests” or anything else except what it shows. Your initial response has nothing to do with my original post or the content of the video. Patrick Craig Kansoer Sr. I respectfully disagree sir. The
video is promulgating masks. Masks that Dr Fauci has a personal interest in furthering that agenda. You are most certainly entitled to advocate for what the video promotes, as I am entitled to take issue therewith. Have a nice day. Ryan Lingner Patrick Craig Kansoer Sr. Don’t go throwing common sense in here. It messes with the agenda they have... Gary Groman Patrick Craig Kansoer Sr. Ryan Lingner Guys, this isn’t complicated. The video doesn’t promulgate anything. It simply shows what it shows and illustrates what common sense tells most people. Wearing masks helps limit discharges from people’s noses and mouths both in terms of volume and velocity. Are either of you saying that is not what the video shows? Patrick Craig Kansoer Sr. Gary Groman if that is what you choose to believe, bless your heart. Darwin TexasDar Schmitz Patrick Craig Kansoer Sr. This is from the con-artist him self a few years back...........! All the Proof I needed............! [Also included was a shot alleging that, in a 2008 report, Dr. Fauci wrote: “that during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, people died of bacterial pneumonia from masks.” Patrick Craig Kansoer Sr. Darwin TexasDar Schmitz I
believe that folks would rather believe lies than accept truth most of the time. Sometimes it is best just to wish them well, say a prayer for them and then move on. Gary Groman Patrick Craig Kansoer Sr. Will you accept the truth, sir? “Fact check: Fauci study did not attribute 1918 Spanish flu deaths to bacterial pneumonia caused by masks. “Social media users have been publishing a screenshot of a tweet, which erroneously claims that during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, people died of bacterial pneumonia from masks and that Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and a key member of the White House coronavirus task force, knew this and wrote about it in 2008. In fact, the study that Fauci co-authored in 2008 does not mention masks and found that bacterial pneumonia led to most deaths in the Spanish flu pandemic when it had been preceded by “viral damage,” or influenza infection.” https://reut. rs/3oDvkW2 Patrick Craig Kansoer Sr. Gary Groman your truth or THE truth? I wish you well Mr Groman and will say a prayer for you. Gary Groman Don’t ever let the facts or truth stand in the way of saying what SEE OLE SEAGULL, PAGE 19

Rally planned November 8 at Faith & Wisdom Church Submitted to Branson Globe Dr. Cecil Todd will lead a rally entitled “Lord, Heal Our Land” at Faith & Wisdom Church on Sunday, November 8 at 10:30 a.m. Faith & Wisdom Church is located at 3950 Green Mountain Drive in Branson. The rally is free and open to the public. According to Pastor Carol McSpadden of Faith & Wisdom Church, “the purpose of the special service is to call America to repentance and prayer, beginning with our church, and to help bring healing to our beloved country.” Special honor and recognition will be given to all veterans who attend the service. Todd, founder and president of Revival Fires Ministry in
Branson West, has been in ministry for more than 70 years. According to a news release, Todd has been asked to provide Bibles for new recruits into the armed services. So far, 3,700 Bibles have been provided to recruits at Ft. Benning, Georgia, and another 5,000 have gone to recruits at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. Ten thousand more Bibles are currently being printed for Great Lakes Naval Training Center in Illinois. “Everyone attending this special service at Branson’s Faith & Wisdom Church on Sunday, November 8 will be given the opportunity to help with the Bible effort for these new recruits,” said Todd. Todd will be joined for the service by gospel recording artist Lydia Abbot.

Branson City Diner: A unique dining experience in Hollister By KD Michaels, Staff Writer One of the area’s most unique dining options is quickly becoming one of the most popular. In its new Hollister location, Branson City Diner provides a variety of delicious foods. “We have all scratch, homemade, home cooking items,” said owner Dyan Baughan. “Everything from meatloaf to our daily blue-plate specials. We have fried catfish, chick-
en. Good, made-from-scratch food—fast. Our burgers are half-pound choice, cut fresh daily. I’m told almost every day by customers that it is the best burger they’ve ever had!” Baughan noted that the Branson City Diner came about because she really missed the restaurant business. “After having 13 restaurants and then being out of that business for five years, I missed it.
It’s what I love to do,” Baughan explained. “So, I built this food truck to go to dog shows and big events, and the virus knocked us right out of the water with that. I was driving one day and I saw this spot, and I could visualize a really awesome little outdoor food truck area. I opened here on May 1, and it’s been going great.” Baughan added that the recipes she uses at the Branson City Diner are a culmination of
her favorite recipes collected from more than 40 years in the restaurant industry. Baughan’s previous local restaurant experience includes five years handling all of Big Cedar’s food service, starting Hard Luck Diner for the Silver Dollar City organization and opening the Starlite Diner. Baughan then opened and operated Branson’s Downtown Diner, a quaint restaurant that also served as a training ground for many of the clients of Church Army, a Branson-based ministry where Dyan and her husband, Steve, served the community. The Branson City Diner has many features not found with a traditional food truck. “We have outside dining. We have online ordering. We’re going to add carhop service, where we will actually be utilizing a hoverboard,” said Baughan. “You’ll be able to pull in and park. We’ll give you a menu, take your order and key it in, and deliver your food. We also have curbside pickup.” Baughan added that her future goals with the business in-
clude adding catering services, as well as beginning First Fridays, a fun event to entertain the locals during the peak season months. When not busy with the Diner, Baughan enjoys attending dog shows with her six beautiful Basenjis. She also works diligently with Standing by the Door, a ministry founded by Dyan and Steve in 2013. Standing by the Door provides faith-based instruction and fellowship for those seeking to escape a life of addiction. Described by Baughan as “a safe place for people to meet God,” Standing by the Door provides supportive and instructional services for all willing alcoholics and addicts. The ministry has enjoyed steady growth and expansion since its beginning and now includes transitional housing for both men and women. Baughan’s assistant at The Branson City Diner is AJ Springstrube, who is active in the Standing by the Door Ministry. Said Baughan, “AJ is my right hand. She helps me do it all. She is in our ministry program, and she has a new life in Jesus—and now she has a new job to go with it!” Located at 1234 Business Highway 65 in Hollister, at SEE CITY DINER, PAGE 9

production culminates in a finale emphasizing positive choices and a gospel message. The Greatest Show is an outreach project of King’s Youth, the youth ministry of King’s Chapel. “It’s a tough time right now, with many school social activities being changed due to COVID-19 and kids spending more time online,” said youth pastor James Reynolds.
“We are excited to present a positive alternative to less wholesome Halloween weekend activities.” Reynolds said the youth have enjoyed creating the production, and other area youth are welcome to get involved and audition for future projects. “We want teens to know church can be a fun place,” he said. The next project for King’s Chapel will be Jesus: The Christmas Experience. Showing during weekends in December, the
Broadway-style musical is a Christmas adaptation of Jesus: The Experience. It was written by campus pastor Chris Davis, whose musical stage productions have been performed worldwide.

Submitted to Branson Globe Lifelong area residents and longtime business co-owners, sisters Joyce Johnston and Susie Romine, invite everyone in the area to shake off those COVID blues and join them in a night of fun this Halloween at the 1st Annual All About Me and U-Haul “Truck or Treat” at the Midtown Plaza in Hollister. There will be multiple stations for kids to have fun, get some treats, show off their costumes and maybe even get a fright or two. When asked where the idea of a “Truck or Treat” came from, Mrs. Johnston said, “It started with my granddaughter and assistant manager at All About Me, Cameryn Gray. She heard that all other trunk or treat events were being canceled and that many people were not going to participate in the tradition because of the recent pandemic. Cameryn felt terrible for all the little ones that have costumes and no
“Of course, safety is our first concern so everything will be contact free and those handing out treats or prizes will be wearing gloves. We will have several stations that each business will decorate and embellish. There will be a few surprises for the little ones and photo opportunities for the parents. Since this is a family affair for us, our theme will be the Addams Family, so if you see Morticia, Gomez, Uncle Fester and the rest, be sure to say hello.”

Oklahoma to Branson and began a musical journey in this town that has spanned more than 30 years, with no signs of slowing down. “I was hired by Shoji Tabuchi and spent two seasons playing for him. For a good portion of

Branson guitarist Mike McAdoo still going strong lessons for six years. I started playing professionally in 1977, playing in clubs, traveling and doing road gigs. Then I heard about an opportunity in Branson in 1986, playing for the Buddy Green Show.” McAdoo made the move from
the 1990s, I was the guitarist for the Osmonds and played 2,000 performances with them,” McAdoo, who plays not only guitar but also five-string banjo, explained. “From 2010 to 2014 I was the guitarist for The Texas Tenors. We played in Branson and all over the USA, and I did their first PBS special with them.” A career highlight for McAdoo came in the spring of 2009
when he had the opportunity to travel overseas to entertain the troops. Said McAdoo, “I was playing for the Country Tonite Show, when we made the trip with Tony Orlando to the Middle East. We played an outdoor concert in Baghdad, then a couple of days later we played a concert in Ramstein, Germany, and also went to the Landstuhl

Hospital to play for our wounded troops.” In addition to performing on stage, McAdoo is a sought-after studio musician, who has worked with many top entertainers. “I have been fortunate enough to record with Boxcar Willie, George Hamilton IV, Rex Allen Jr., the Osmonds, The Texas Tenors, Barbara Fairchild, Jim Stafford, John Davidson, and The Moffatts, to name a few,” noted McAdoo. “I have also recorded about ten CDs of my own. My latest project is a tribute to the Eagles, called ‘Dark Desert Hiway.’ I have always been a fan of the Eagles and have studied their music since the 1970s.” McAdoo has also recorded four original tunes that can be found on iTunes, in a project entitled “Too Hard to Get.” Like many guitarists, McAdoo credits the legendary Chet Atkins for influencing his mu-
sical style. He also picked up some guitar licks from another source. “A super-talented guitarist named Doyle Dykes taught me how to play the Chet Atkins’ style of guitar back in the early ‘70s,” said McAdoo. “I have two different CDs out as a tribute to Chet. Another influence was Don Felder who was with the Eagles for many years. He was very nice in answering several messages from me. He, himself, was also a big Chet Atkins fan.” McAdoo performs each July at the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society event in Nashville. This Christmas season, McAdoo’s work can be heard on the ALG Gospel Network. “I added some guitar and bass to an existing track for a lady, Terri, whose video will air in the Christmas season,” said McAdoo. “I also have an original Christmas song that will air on the ALG Gospel Network too.” When not busy performing or recording, McAdoo enjoys spending time with his family.

Mike and his wife, Kim, who accompanied him to Branson in the 1980s, will soon celebrate 36 years of marriage. Kim is employed at the Better Business Bureau in Springfield. The couple are parents of grown daughter, Mikayla, who followed her father into the entertainment business
and performs as part of the popular Shepherd of the Hills play. Mike McAdoo still finds time to share his talents locally with Branson audiences. “I now play three nights a week at the Branson Craft Mall on Highway 165,” explained McAdoo. “In the back

other believers, hear a good sermon, and join together in worship. Before the pandemic, some younger folks, raised on smartphones, joked about how awesome it was to occasionally attend “Bedside Assembly” online in their lounge pants, but when it became a mandate, it got old fast. While we’re grateful for technology that allows us to experience worship and hear the sermon from home, finding ways to return to in-person worship has been a priority. The Branson/Taney County/ Stone County community is blessed with wonderful churches of many denominational persuasions. We are blessed to be able to go to them, even though it’s currently on a limited basis. And with the exception of a few tech platform “fails” we won’t go into here, we can still say what we want to say about our faith.

For some, being told exactly how and when they can attend church is nothing new; others depend on technology not as Plan B but as their only fellowship. Surveillance is high; in some countries, leaders are arrested for failing to acknowledge the superiority of the government or for “indoctrinating” children. Christians in many places suffer discrimination and displacement, even torture, for their faith but remain faithful, asking only for Bibles and prayers. Organizations like The Voice of the Martyrs, Open Doors, and others provide information about courageous believers in restricted nations and work to coordinate relief for them. As we hope to resume some semblance of “normal” in time for Christmas celebrations with like-minded believers, may we be vigilant about our freedoms, thankful for people who fight to preserve them, and inspired to pray for Christians for whom our normal has never been theirs. “The Slow Mo Guys YouTube Channel” is said to have the largest number of slow-motion videos anywhere on YouTube.

Other homecoming 2020 activities will be held virtually, in keeping with the college’s commitment to safety of students, staff and alumni. For those who had planned to travel to milestone class year reunions, those years will be celebrated in person next year along with mile-
stone years occurring in 2021. The pandemic influenced the choice of theme for Homecoming 2020, “Your Time to Shine.” Student activities’ director Ryan Knight said, “Even when going through difficult times, you can still leave an impact.” Knight has provided socially distanced opportunities for students to experience college life throughout the semester, and during the week leading up to Homecoming 2020, students will celebrate with various themed activities. The top ten candidates for Miss Hard Work U. will complete a campus community project, as well as submitting an essay to determine the top five. Those five then participate in interviews with a panel of judges. The interviews are distributed to students through email, and student votes are the final determining factor.
Alumni executive board and alumni council meetings will take place virtually on Friday, Nov. 6, at 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., respectively. On Saturday, Nov. 7, the alumni association will hold a virtual annual meeting at 9 a.m., followed by the prerecorded alumni memorial service at 10:15 a.m., honoring alumni who have passed away. The registration link is http://www.cofo. edu/homecoming, and the memorial service will remain online at that site through Nov. 13. Also on Saturday, virtual class reunions and chapter meetings will be held according to the following schedule: Class Reunion Schedule • 11:30 a.m.Class of 1950: 70th Reunion • 11:30 a.m.Class of 1980: 40th Reunion • 1 p.m. Class of 1975: 45th

Celebrating multilingualism: Looking at the best way to acquire a second or third language Submitted to Branson Globe Imagine you’re an immigrant in the U.S. who wants your children to assimilate and be accepted. They speak a heritage language at home and the majority language at school. Should you stop speaking Spanish at home, for example, to help them learn English more easily? Missouri State University’s Dr. Luciane Maimone says no. “Being an immigrant myself, I can relate to the powerful connection between language, culture and one’s sense of self,” Maimone, assistant professor of modern and classical languages, said. “Maintaining children’s home languages is key to their identities and for their social and academic development.” Learning two languages at the same time is possible. While the
learning process for bilinguals is different, children who succeed in preserving their home language can also fully acquire English. In the language classroom, Spanish heritage speakers face unique challenges. Unlike typical foreign language learners, they may start with higher levels of communicative competence. However, they may lack knowledge of writing conventions, formal language and specialized vocabulary and terminology. This can result in low self-confidence, feelings of inadequacy or cause them to get lower grades. For example, Maimone said, think about your own childhood. “How often did your mother ask you as a child to write something for her?” she said. “You don’t have as many opportunities to write at home as you have to speak. Devel-
Missouri State College of Education names interim dean Submitted to Branson Globe SPRINGFIELD – Dr. Barri Tinkler will begin as interim dean of the College of Education (COE) on Jan. 3, 2021. She replaces Dr. David Hough, who plans to retire Feb. 1, 2021. Tinkler is currently associate dean of the College of Education and at the same time has served as interim department head for counseling, leadership and special education since May 2020. “Dr. Tinkler will bring a strong history of teaching and administrative experience to the College of Education,” Provost Frank Einhellig said. “She will help COE continue its tradition of educating tomorrow’s teachers.” Tinkler earned a doctorate
from the University of Denver in 2004. She joined the faculty of Towson University for one year before moving to Shepherd University in West Virginia for four years. She then became a faculty member at the University of Vermont from 2009-2019. During that time, Tinkler also served as vice-chair for the Department of Education and national and state accreditation coordinator. She was a Fulbright scholar at the University of Calgary in the spring of 2018. Tinkler joined Missouri State in August 2019 in her current role as associate dean. The university will conduct a national search for a permanent dean.

oping writing and reading skills requires training more often provided outside the home.” The biggest challenge, however, might be to help heritage speakers see value in their linguistic expe-
rience and motivate them to build proficiency in their heritage language. A possible solution? Maimone suggests starting programs for heritage speakers at secondary and
postsecondary levels. This could help more heritage speakers in the state of Missouri achieve academic and professional success and become more confident in pursuing a college education.

Lions Club helps fund large print books for Taneyhills Library Submitted to Branson Globe The Branson-Hollister Lions Club recently presented Taneyhills Library with a $4,000 check to purchase new large print books for vision impaired readers. In recent months, Taneyhills Library has experienced record checkouts. Unfortunately, due to declining income the library was forced to reduce spending on new library materials. “Large print books were cut from the library’s
budget in early 2020; however, that did not prevent our readers from asking when we were getting new large print books,” according to library director Marcia Schemper-Carlock. The Lions Club understands the struggle Taneyhills Library faces by not being tax funded. “This group knows the importance of resources for those with vision issues and realizes libraries offer a solution. In spite of the chal-
lenges the Lions organization has faced with COVID-19, they quickly responded with financial assistance. We were surprised and extremely grateful when we received the call they were going to help. They are a valu-
able community partner,” states Schemper-Carlock. Members of the Lions Club sponsor bingo every Monday evening at their Club located at 1015 East Highway 76 in Branson. Doors open at 4:00 pm and
play starts at 6:00 pm. Bingo profits support local projects. The Taneyhills Library has been serving Taney County since 1933 and relies predominately on their thrift shop and used bookstore for income.

MDC shares important information for deer hunting JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports that deer numbers are increasing in much of the state and that trend should contribute to an increase in the number of deer harvested this fall. MDC also
reminds hunters and others of available landowner permits, sampling and testing for chronic wasting disease, Share The Harvest, and more. Deer Season “Deer populations in much of southern Missouri have been in-
creasing slowly over time and deer numbers in much of central and northern Missouri have rebounded from the severe hemorrhagic disease outbreak in 2012 that caused a significant decline in deer numbers in many counties,” said MDC
Cervid Program Supervisor Jason Isabelle. Isabelle added that deer harvests in the state have also been on an increasing trend since 2013 and MDC expects this trend to continue this year. “Increased hunter participation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic is also likely to contribute to
a higher deer harvest this fall,” Isabelle said. “We saw a significant increase in the number of hunters that pursued turkeys this past spring. If we see a similar increase in hunter participation this fall, it could lead to one of our highest deer harvests in many years.” SEE HUNTING, PAGE 25

He added that MDC has steadily increased antlerless deer harvest opportunities in many counties over the last several years in response to increasing deer numbers. Archery deer hunting opened Sept. 15 and runs through Nov. 13. Archery season then reopens Nov. 25 through Jan. 15, 2021. The November portion of firearms deer season starts Nov. 14 and runs through Nov. 24. The alternative methods portion runs Dec. 26 through Jan. 5, 2021. A firearms antlerless portion runs Dec. 4 – 6. Youth firearms portions run Oct. 31 to Nov. 1 and again Nov. 27 -29. Get more information on deer hunting in Missouri online at huntfish.mdc. mo.gov/hunting-trapping/species/ deer and from MDC’s 2020 Fall Deer and Turkey Hunting Regulations & Information booklet, available where permits are sold and online at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/fall-deer-and-turkey-hunting-regulations-and-information. Share the Harvest and Meat Processors MDC encourages hunters who will have their deer professionally processed to check with meat processors about their availability to process deer this fall. Some meat processors around the state are reporting higher-than-normal business and may not be accepting deer for processing or will have significant delays in processing deer. Hunters wanting to donate to Share the Harvest are also encouraged to check with their local meat processors as some are not participating in the program this year. Get more information on Share the Harvest online at huntfish.mdc. mo.gov/hunting-trapping/species/ deer/deer-share-harvest. MDC also has several virtual classes on deer and game processing and how to deer hunt. Get more information on MDC virtual programs online at mdc.mo.gov/events/virtual. Landowner Permits MDC offers free and discounted landowner permits for deer hunting to qualifying resident and non-resident Missouri landowners. Missouri
residents must own at least 20 contiguous acres of land to receive no-cost resident landowner permits. Nonresidents must own at least 75 contiguous acres of land to receive reduced-cost nonresident landowner permits. To be eligible for landowner permits, the property owner and others wanting to hunt the property using a landowner permit must first complete an MDC Landowner Permit Application. Learn more about landowner permits at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/permits/ qualifications-landowner-permits. CWD Reminders MDC has changed its mandatory sampling requirements for chronic
wasting disease (CWD) to voluntary sampling in 30 counties during the opening weekend of this year’s November firearms portion of deer season. The change was prompted by public-health concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. The change will impact hunters who harvest deer during the opening weekend of the November portion of the firearms deer season (Nov. 14 and 15) in any of the 30 MDC CWD Management Zone counties: Adair, Barry, Cedar, Chariton, Christian, Clark, Crawford, Franklin, Gasconade, Hickory, Howell, Jefferson, Knox, Linn, Macon, Mercer, Oregon, Ozark,

area after being in a flood watch and flood warning the past couple of days. Here at our office we recorded over four inches of rain. For today, mostly sunny skies, warming to near or just above the 60 mark. Lows tonight will be in the upper 30s to lower 40s under mostly clear skies. For our Halloween, mostly
sunny skies with highs in the mid to upper 60s. Our evening hours should be in the upper 40s for our trick or treaters. On Sunday, the cold front that moved through yesterday will be felt today with highs only in the mid 50’s and a cold overnight with temps near 30. BURR! Monday and Tuesday we start
to warm back up a bit under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies and highs in the 60s each day. Overnight lows will be in the upper 30s. Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour Saturday night as Daylight Savings comes to an end and November begins!! I’ll see y’all in our Sunday edition!

breast cancer after a routine mammogram. Karen was not new to the “we need to do further tests” call, but the tests always came back negative, so she figured that once again, it would not prove to be serious. This time, though, it was
serious. And as Thomas and others who have faced cancer know, she was immediately bombarded with scary thoughts: “Will I die? What about my family? Will I get sick from the treatment? And how much will all this cost?” Karen was encouraged by a pamphlet she had been given called “Don’t Waste Your Cancer,” from Desiring God Ministries [https://
www.desiringgod.org/articles/dontwaste-your-cancer], which challenges cancer patients, regardless of prognosis, to use their experience to draw closer to God and evaluate their thoughts about life, death, and faith. Reading it, she was inspired to chronicle her journey in the Branson Globe as an educational tool. Even before realizing Cindy was a cancer survivor, she asked her to help with

Continued from page 1
There have been prisoners or missing-in-action soldiers from every conflict in American history, including fairly recent military operations in Iran, Afghanistan, Libya and Gulf War locations, although some of the highest known numbers were from Vietnam. Many young Americans wore Vietnam POW bracelets bearing names of known prisoners of war; others were listed as MIA, and some later changed to likely killed in action. Some families have waited for decades hoping to finally and constructively process their grief and
find closure. The Network helps families navigate the complex process of finding and accessing available government records or correspondence with foreign countries. Volunteers have amassed countless hours sorting and organizing any and all resources—photographs, old news stories, anything that might help. Those are summarized on the group’s website at https://www. pownetwork.org/2004_index2. html. The site also includes information such as what to do with a POW bracelet or how to get one, and shares when positive information surfaces or remains are found. There are also lists of

movies and documentaries, plus educational student activities. A lesser-known but also important issue addressed by P.O.W. Network is the Fake Warrior Project. That’s right—fake warriors: individuals who falsify or greatly exaggerate military service records or even steal identities in order to gain recognition, pad a speaker resumé, or get benefits. One might ask, horrified, who would do
such a thing. The answer is, more people than you might think, according to P.O.W. Network chairman Mary Schantag. “If someone’s story sounds too good to be true, it just might be false,” said Schantag. Visit https:// www.fakewarriors.org for stories. The Network works with a team of active and retired military, law enforcement and historians to verify claims, check stories against actual records, and
push for the prosecution of offenders in order to save valuable government benefits and agency resources for those who truly deserve it. P.O.W. Network encourages the Branson community to get involved by sharing the need with others, attending Veterans Week events, and volunteering or donating.

Sony’s profits rise as pandemic has people playing games TOKYO (AP) — Profit at Japanese electronics and entertainment company Sony Corp. more than doubled in the last quarter on healthy gains in its video game sector, as people stayed home during the pandemic, the company said Wednesday.
Tokyo-based Sony reported a 459.6 billion yen ($4.4 billion) profit in July-September, up from 188 billion yen the previous year. Quarterly sales at the maker of the PlayStation game machines, Bravia TVs and Spider-Man movies inched down
slightly to 2.1 trillion yen ($20 billion). Sony raised its forecast for the full fiscal year to 800 billion yen ($7.7 billion) from an earlier 510 billion yen ($4.9 billion). Sony anticipates strong performance for its game division,
which has the PlayStation 5 set to go on sale soon. But even its current model and its game software are doing well as the coronavirus pandemic has people around the world staying home. Sony sold 1.5 million PlayStation 4 machines in July-September. Sony has a wide array of businesses, including electronics and financial services, and its other divisions did not fare as well. With global demand crimped, Sony said it isn’t expecting growth in sales of its image sensors. But Sony’s music business is doing better as streaming revenue increases. Sony said it also recorded gains from the selling of shares and business transfers in its music division for the quarter through September. Sony is also behind the hit
animation “Demon Slayer,” which is drawing people by the masses to movie theaters in Japan. Timing is likely a factor as theaters have been reopening with social distancing measures are few competing animation movies showing. The movie’s performance was not reflected in the latest results because it just opened earlier this month. “Demon Slayer — Kimetsu no Yaiba — The Movie: Mugen Train” marked a milestone, achieving more than $100 million at Japan’s box offices in the shortest period ever, or 10 days, according to Sony. The film premiered Oct. 16, and has drawn a record of nearly 8 million admissions and more than $102.5 million in box office sales. Sony’s shares gained 1.8% in Tokyo trading on Wednesday.

Tupperware profits soar as pandemic shut-ins store leftovers SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) — Tupperware relied on social gatherings for explosive growth in the mid 20th century. In the 21st century, it is social distancing that is fueling sales. Restaurant pain has turned into Tupperware’s gain with millions of people in a pandemic opening cookbooks again and looking for solutions to leftovers. They’ve found it again in Tupperware, suddenly an “it brand” five decades after what seemed to be its glory days. The company had appeared to be on life support, posting negative sales growth in five of the last six years, a trend that seemed to be accelerating this year. Long gone was the heyday of the Tupperware Party, first held in 1948, which provided women with a chance to run their own business. That system worked so well, Tupperware took its products out of stores three years later. But it has struggled as more families gave up making dinner from scratch and also dining out more. Then the pandemic struck. Profit during the most recent
quarter quadrupled to $34.4 million, Tupperware reported Wednesday. The explosion of sales caught almost everyone off guard and shares of Tupperware Brands Corp., which had been rising since April, jumped 35% to a new high for the year. Shares that could be had for around $1 in March, closed at $28.80 on Wednesday. Tupperware stands apart from most other companies that have thrived in the pandemic. Unlike Netflix, Amazon.com, Peloton or even DraftKings, it doesn’t rely on a hi-tech platform. However, it’s certainly not alone as the pandemic bends how we spend our time more rapidly perhaps than any point in our lifetimes. On Monday the toymaker Hasbro said that its games division, which includes board games like Monopoly, saw a 21% jump in revenue. On Wednesday, Tupperware reported quarterly adjusted earnings of $1.20 per share, triple what Wall Street had expected. Revenue of $477.2 million was about 30%

higher than forecasts and 14% better than last year. CEO Miguel Fernandez said the company, based in Orlando, Florida, had shifted more heavily
to digital sales to accommodate those sheltering in the pandemic. He also noted “increased consumer demand.” The company earlier this year
had begun a turnaround campaign. Fernandez, who once led Avon, was named CEO in March just as COVID-19 infections began to spread in the U.S.
