Military Gala at Chateau on the Lake celebrates those who serve By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer Veterans, active military personnel, family members, friends and local supporters gathered in the Grand Hall at Chateau on the Lake on Sunday evening, Nov. 8, for the 24th annual military gala and banquet. The event is sponsored by POW Network each year. Styled after formal military dinners, the gala included a Veterans of the Ozarks color guard, formal toasts to service branch-
es, and the U.S. Marine Corps 245th birthday cake cutting presided over by Jay Anger, USMC. Lieutenant Commander Brian Miller, USN (Ret.) was master of ceremonies, and Army Captain Caleb Dunnam served as President of the Mess. Branson vocalist Sami Johnson presented the national anthem and a patriotic tribute; Rev. Todd Johnson gave the invocation and benediction; and Terri Howard led the Pledge of Alle-
giance. During the social hour before dinner and following the program, attendees enjoyed dancing to music from veteran-owned Party 2 Go. A.M. Pyrotechnics provided American-made fireworks for the outdoor intermission. This year’s theme was “Saluting Submariners.” Stories in the souvenir program booklet recounted the heroism of those serving under the seas. SEE GALA, PAGE 12

Annual Freedom of the Road Riders toy run helps area kids By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer Motorcyclists lined up at WalMart on Branson’s 76 Country Boulevard on Sunday for their annual toy run. Freedom of Road Riders (FORR) held the 31st annual event on a sunny Sunday afternoon, car-
rying toys, warm clothing and cash donations to Forsyth’s Elks Lodge during an inspiring toy parade. Cyndi Barker, President of FORR, said 153 motorcycles and nearly twice that many people participated in the event to benefit local youth.

“We’re taking toys, coats, hats, gloves and cash donations to the Elks Lodge 2597 in Forsyth,” explained Barker. “On December 12 there will be a distribution, and our group will show up there to distribute the toys to the needy families. The parents come in and pick
out gifts for their children.” FORR, a nonprofit organization, promotes safety and brotherhood to all kinds of motorcyclists, on all types of motorcycles. The parade, led by Santa Claus, headed west on 76 toward the Ozark Mountain High Road, and
then headed east to Forsyth. Said Santa, “We’re happy to be helping the families of Taney County again this year. Everything that is collected stays right here in the county for families and children in need. And, it’s a very nice day for a ride!”

156th District gains new conservative voice in House of Representatives By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer Branson businessman Brian Seitz is the area’s newest member of the House of Representatives. Originally from Michigan, Brian and his wife, Valerie, moved to Branson in 1991 but fell in love with the beauty of the area and its people many years before. “I started visiting the Ozarks in 1983,” said Seitz. “That same year, I enlisted in the United States Army and became a paratrooper stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. I was in until 1986 and achieved the rank of sergeant. It was my honor to serve our country.” After his enlistment, Seitz moved to Springfield and attended Southwest Missouri State University, now MSU, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in communications and public relations. Upon graduation, Seitz moved to Branson, where he launched Music Country News, Branson’s premiere monthly entertainment publication, a business he owned for 15 years. Music Country News was the perfect opportunity for Seitz to promote the lakes region he had come to love, as well as the area’s fabulous live music shows. When the internet’s rise in popularity began to negatively affect some forms of
Rep. Brian Seitz (Special to Branson Globe)
print media, Seitz decided a career change was in order and took on the management of Splash Car Wash, a multimillion-dollar business located on Branson’s Gretna Road. Additionally, he pastors a small church, Sovereign Grace Baptist. Seitz now represents Branson and a large part of Taney County as the Representative for Missouri’s District 156. Seitz, a Republican, defeated Democrat opponent Dale Speelman for the seat held by Jeff Justus, who was elected in 2012 and has served two terms. Justus was not eligible to run for reelection due to term limits set for the office. “I decided to run, as I began
looking at the state of our nation,” said Seitz. “Liberalism has begun to rear its ugly head in our area, and it has to be stopped at the door. As a Christian Conservative, I knew that the 156th District needed to be represented by someone who strongly believes in God, family, and country. Additionally, over the years I’ve seen our area contribute an abundance of revenue to the state in the form of tourism tax dollars, but we aren’t seeing as much of the benefit of those dollars as we should. I want to see that money coming back into our community so we can continue to grow and thrive.” Seitz has several passions for which he plans to fight. Topping that list are the rights of the unborn, reigning-in government overreach, upholding constitutional rights, working to bring more jobs to the district, and expanding education opportunities. Seitz, who beat former Mayor Karen Best in the primary election, ran what he considered to be the first modern campaign for this office. “We started out with three votes and had an uphill battle against a well-known opponent,” Seitz explained. “Many people in the disSEE SEITZ, PAGE 15

By Pat Lamb “Experts” who study such things say that we are all a combination of heredity and environment. We each inherit tendencies that influence our likes and dislikes. Then as we grow, the things that happen, or do not happen around us, influence what we become according to the choices we make in dealing with them. Right now, few people would deny that we have a division in our country. Children pick up on comments and actions that are influencing them. They listen to parents and others as they comment on news events. Our recent election provided many comments and actions that are very confusing to children. We tell our children to be kind to everyone, yet they are not seeing kindness as store windows are broken. We tell our children not to steal, yet they see people on TV looting stores. We tell our children to talk nicely, yet they see people screaming at each other as they argue about what they think needs to be done in our country. What kind of adults will our children become as a result of what they are experiencing? For many years teachers and parents were told to praise children and tell them how special they are. Children have been passed from grade to grade in
Pat Lamb (FILE)
school without being held accountable for mastering the material of each grade. Children have been given trophies when they were not earned. Why are
we surprised that we have a generation of adults now who thinks they don’t have to earn what they get? We have a generation that feels they are special no matter how they behave. Didn’t we actually teach them that they are special and entitled when we misused praise and gave them things they had not earned? As this generation of children sees others acting as they do, how will they process this in their own minds? Will they become another “me” generation? Isn’t it up to parents to see that this does not happen? How can parents overcome what children are now witnessing to teach them to respect others? It starts, first
of all, by example. Demonstration is one of the best teaching methods. What a challenge for those who work with children! Since children quickly form opinions, she/he may have already formed many undesirable opinions. This means there is much “undoing” to do as we try to teach the correct responses to what they are seeing and hearing. It will take much prayer and help from our Lord, and yet, many parents refuse to take their children to church so they can learn or have Bible reading times at home. Only the Bible has the answers we need. It has proved itself through the centuries.

Service of remembrance honors POWs/MIAs
By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer Veterans and friends gathered at the Welk Resort shortly after sunrise on Nov. 6 to honor soldiers listed as prisoners of war or missing in action during American conflicts. The remembrance service was held, fittingly, by the traveling Vietnam War Memorial, which the resort hosts for Branson’s Veterans Homecoming Week. The Vietnam War was responsible for a large percentage of POWs and MIAs, although soldiers remain unaccounted for from every war from World War I to recent Middle East conflicts and the war on terror. Branson High School Air Force JROTC provided the color guard. Following the national anthem and invocation by vocalist Sami Johnson and the Pledge of Allegiance led by
Terri Howard, POW. Network chairman Mary Schantag introduced the guest speaker, Eric Farris. Farris is the nephew of Joe Harry Powers Jr., USAF, a distinguished World War II flying
ace from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who also served in the Korean conflict. He was presumed shot down and listed MIA on January 18, 1951. Powers’ remains have never been recovered. SEE POW/MIA, PAGE 8

Farris shared his observations and memories of the effect on his family of not being able to have closure in the situation, particularly Powers’ mother, whom Farris remembers was convinced her son had sur-
vived the plane crash somewhere. Following Farris’ moving tribute to his uncle, audience members shared names of POWs/MIAs as a bell tolled in honor and remembrance. POW Network exists to serve and resource families by helping with the search for

Taney County joins global Christmas project to send joy to children overseas Submitted to Branson Globe Peace Lutheran Church, Hollister; New Beginnings Fellowship Church, Hollister; Grace Community Assembly Church, Branson; First Baptist Church, Forsyth; and College of the Ozarks are not waiting until Thanksgiving Day to express gratitude. Instead, they are giving back by lovingly packing gifts of joy for children around the world living in extreme poverty or affected by war, disease, and natural disaster. Operation Christmas Child—a project of Samaritan’s Purse—is the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind. During National Collection Week, Nov. 16-23, area residents will donate gift-filled shoeboxes—with school supplies, hygiene items, notes of encouragement and wow items, such as a doll or soccer ball. This year, residents in the Ozark Mountain area hope to
contribute nearly 15,500 shoebox gifts toward the 2020 global goal of reaching 11 million children. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham. The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 168 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 160 countries and territories. Dropping off shoeboxes will look a little different this year. All sites will be curbside and hands-free for your safety. The Taney County drop-off locations will be receiving shoebox gifts during the following times:

Responders urge motorists to slow down, move over: ‘I’m somebody’s child’ Submitted to Branson Globe JEFFERSON CITY – “It’s a consistent battle that we fight on a daily basis.” Wyatt Schubert, a motorist as-
sistance operator at Springfield’s Traffic Management Center, is one of thousands of responders across the state who puts his life on the line along the highway. In his role,
Traffic incidents are the leading cause of death for EMS responders and law enforcement officers. (Shutterstock)
Schubert responds to traffic incidents, assisting drivers and helping to keep traffic flowing. “We need drivers to move over or slow down, but unfortunately, a significant number do not.” And the results are far too often deadly. In fact, traffic incidents are the leading cause of death for EMS responders and law enforcement officers. To remind motorists what’s on the line, the Federal Highway Administration has declared the week of Nov. 9-15 as National Traffic Incident Response Awareness Week. Every year, 200 roadside workers lose their lives in the line of duty, according to AAA. There were more than 157,000 traffic crashes in Missouri in 2019. As part of the Missouri Department of Transportation’s work to maintain a safe and reliable transportation system, MoDOT emergency re-
sponse personnel respond to more than 6,000 traffic incidents each month on average. “Responders working crashes are always in a dangerous work environment,” said Owen Hasson, MoDOT’s traffic incident manager. “As motorists, we can make their job safer by simply taking a foot off the accelerator, turning on a blinker, checking a mirror and switching lanes.” When motorists approach MoDOT or any other responders or emergency vehicles on the side of the highway with flashing lights, they should move over. Schubert refers to this as a ‘courtesy’ to him and other roadside workers, but in fact, it’s the law. A report from the National Safety Commission revealed 71% of Americans do not know about their state’s Move Over law. Missouri’s Move Over law requires drivers to ei-
★ MENTION THIS AD ★
ther change lanes or slow down when approaching stationary MoDOT, law enforcement or other emergency vehicles with flashing lights. To help protect those who protect us, all 50 states enforce some form of the Move Over law. “When you see emergency vehicles and highway crews with warning lights either on the road or shoulder, slow down, and when you’re able to do so, move over,” said Hasson. “The lives you’re protecting are the ones who protect, rescue and assist you, and work on the roads you use every day.” “Just like you have a mother and father, I have a mother and father. I’m somebody’s child,” said Schubert. “We’re all out here together. Let’s do this as safe as possible. Slow down and move over, so everybody can make it to their destination safely.”

The evening’s entertainment was provided by Bob Hope, courtesy of tribute artist Bill Johnson. Johnson’s crowd-pleasing program of poignant as well as comedic mo-
ments spanned Hope’s 50 years of entertaining soldiers, from World War II in 1941 to Desert Storm in 1991. The evening also included a candlelight POW/MIA remembrance. Each attendee received a card with the name of an “unseen guest” hero to introduce to
their tablemates while lighting a commemorative votive. A moving video presentation of “The White Table,” Margot Raven’s story of a veteran and prisoner of war, was a highlight of the remembrance ceremony. P.O.W. Network Chairman Mary Schantag concluded the
program with thanks for the many volunteers, P.O.W. Network board members, and sponsors who make the gala a reality each year. Jeanne Cooper and Kristina Gilbert received special awards for their faithful volunteer service. Mark your calendars now for next year’s special 25th annual military gala and banquet, Nov. 9, 2021.

Brian’s wife, Valerie, is also service oriented,

Daughter, Reagan, followed her mother’s footsteps into the healthcare field, where she is employed locally as a CNA. Son, Taylor, after serving in the U.S. Army, is the manager of a local movie theater. Oldest son, Daniel, recently married, is an account executive at Jones PR in Oklahoma City.

Roughly $1 billion in federal virus aid unspent in Missouri
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri has less than two months to spend roughly $1 billion in federal coronavirus aid, the state budget director told lawmakers during a special session Monday. Budget Director Dan Haug outlined the huge sum of unspent federal funding during the special legislative session called by Republican Gov. Mike Parson, who asked lawmakers to give his administration the authority to spend another roughly $1.1 billion in federal aid. Local governments also are sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars meant to help address the coronavirus pandemic. Missouri counties so far have spent only $128 million of the $520 million available to them, Haug said. Some of local officials’ hesitation in spending the funding might stem from confusion over federal guidelines and concerns that a misstep will mean the
federal government takes the money back, Haug said. State health department Director Randall Williams has urged local governments to use the money for COVID-19 testing if they’re not sure how else to spend it. Meanwhile, Democratic Rep. Peter Merideth said St. Louis, which has been one of the cities hit hardest by the virus, is close to running out of money to keep day cares open and prevent homelessness. He was one of several lawmakers who raised concerns about huge sums of federal coronavirus aid not being spent in Missouri, despite the need. “I’m just getting really frustrated that it seems like we’re sitting on money for the purpose of making sure our day care providers are getting reimbursed at the rate they had before and that they’re not suffering horribly,” he said during the Monday hearing. Haug said Parson’s adminis-
tration is considering putting unspent county money in the state’s unemployment insurance fund so it doesn’t revert back to the federal government at the end of the year. “It’s our intent to spend every
last penny of (federal) CARES (Act) money,” Haug said. Missouri is among dozens of states seeing a big increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. State data showed Missouri’s
positivity rate at 19.5% — nearly four times the benchmark suggested by the World Health Organization. Missouri has now reported 212,441 confirmed cases and 3,153 deaths since the start of the pandemic.

MDC reminds hunters of baiting guidelines during deer, turkey season Missouri Dept. of Conservation CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds hunters to be aware of baiting regulations during the fall deer and turkey hunting seasons. The use of bait, including grain or other feed placed or scattered to attract deer or turkey, while hunting is illegal. The regulations are in place to help limit the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in deer and to ensure fair chase. According to MDC’s Ozark Region Captain Gerald Smith, the placement of corn, or bait to hunt wildlife has “always been” a common Wildlife Code violation that conservation agents encounter during the fall. Additional rules apply if hunting in the 30-county CWD 2020-2021 deer season Management Zone. Doe urine and other scents, such as apple, acorn, and persimmon, are allowed while hunting, if they are not used on or with grain and other food products. Mineral blocks, including salt, are not considered bait. However, mineral blocks that contain grain or other food additives are prohibited. MDC notes that mineral and salt blocks are not allowed on conservation areas and in a CWD zone. While it is legal to hunt over a harvested crop field, it is illegal to add grain or other crops, such as apples, to the field after it has been harvested.
“While the majority of hunters encountered by conservation agents are compliant with this regulation, we spend a lot time responding to reports and complaints of this type of violation,” Smith said. But whether on public land or private land, he said, “Anyone who is hunting in an area baited is in violation.” One such report occurred when Smith said he recently received a call from a frustrated hunter who was scouting a familiar area of public land and discovered a large quantity of bait, a trail camera, and tree stand. “The hunter knew that even if no one was hunting the tree stand, it would be a violation for him to hunt the area because of the bait,” Smith said. Smith said the hunter provided a photo of his findings, along with the GPS coordinates. That information was then forwarded to local county conservation agents, according to Smith. “These types of reports are common, and agents do investigate and follow up with each report,” Smith said. He said the public pays attention to these types of violations. “When they see or hear about this activity, they are willing to report what they have seen,” Smith said. Due to COVID-19 concerns, MDC has transitioned its mandatory CWD sampling to voluntary
sampling this year. Find more information on CWD and hunting regulations from MDC’s 2020 Fall Deer and Turkey Hunting Regulations & Information Booklet, available where permits are sold and online at https://huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/ fall-deer-and-turkey-hunting-regulations-and-information. Hunters are also encouraged to contact their local conservation agent or MDC regional office for additional questions or concerns. Find contact information at https:// mdc.mo.gov/contact-engage.

MDC reminds hunters to wear required orange ahead of firearms deer season
Missouri Dept. of Conservation JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds hunters not to forget their hunter orange before heading out the door for opening weekend of firearms deer season Nov. 14-24. Hunters must wear a hunter orange hat and a hunter orange vest, shirt, or coat. The color must be visible from all sides. Camouflage orange does not satisfy this rule. “Hunting is an extremely safe activity when done responsibly,” noted MDC Hunter Education Program Coordinator Justin McGuire. “One of those responsibilities is to make sure hunters and mentors are wearing the required hunter orange garments. Hunter orange clothing makes it easier for one hunter to spot and recognize another hunter because nothing in nature matches this color exactly.” Hunters must wear hunter orange if: • They are hunting any species of game during firearms deer season. • They are hunting elk or ac-

companying an elk hunter during the firearms portion of elk season. They are hunting on an area that is having a managed firearms deer hunt. They are serving as a mentor to another hunter during firearms deer season or while on an area that is having a managed firearms deer hunt. Hunters are not required to wear hunter orange if: They are hunting migratory game birds. They are archery hunting within municipal boundaries where the discharge of firearms is prohibited. They are hunting on federal or state land where deer hunting is restricted to archery methods. They are using an archery permit during the alternative methods portion. They are archery or small game hunting in a closed county during the antlerless portion. They are hunting small game or furbearers during the alter-
native methods portion. They are hunting small game or furbearers during the firearms portion of elk season. Firearms deer season runs Nov. 14-24. The late youth portion is Nov. 27-29, followed by the ant-
•
lerless portion Dec. 4-6. The elk firearms portion is Dec. 12-20. The alternative methods portion for deer runs Dec. 26 through Jan. 5, 2021. Archery season runs now through Nov. 13 and Nov. 25 through Jan. 15, 2021. Hunters
can find more information about hunting seasons at https://huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/ or by reading MDC’s 2020 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations & Information booklet at https://short.mdc. mo.gov/ZXv.
20 • Nov. 11 - 12, 2020 • KEETER
Continued from page 1
Brenda, four stepsons, and nine grandchildren. Keeter was known for his hard work, dedication, and love of students during his four decades at the College. He was beginning year 51 of service to the College. On June 1, 1970, Keeter accepted the position as work coordinator at the institution, which was at that time known as The School of the Ozarks. Keeter carried many
heavy responsibilities beginning with his first day on the job and proved himself immediately. He was made associate dean of administration in 1971. In 1975, Keeter was selected for the newly created position of chancellor and became a member of the board of trustees in 1979. Through 50 years of various roles — including work coordinator, chancellor, trustee, acting president, and vice president — Keeter became an honored member of the College of the Ozarks community
Dr. Howell Keeter with Brenda, his wife, at College of the Ozarks. (Special to Branson Globe)
and one of the longest-serving College of the Ozarks employees. Keeter helped guide the school through times of need and times of plenty. “Dr. Keeter’s career touched three long presidencies at this institution, and his leadership and insights provided continuity. He will be missed,” said College President, Jerry C. Davis. “I most valued his dependability and his always looking out for the best interests of the College. His judgement was invaluable. He was especially concerned for the welfare of the students from the towns and villages of the Ozarks.” In a 2016 article for the institutional magazine, Keeter talked about his love for the College and the main thing he wanted to pass on to the next generation of students: “I never stop working, and I will do it until the day I die. I try to set an example for the younger generations. This school has been my life since 1970, and I wouldn’t change a thing.” Keeter saw first-hand the progress of the College, from the days of financial struggle to the well-established institution it is today. In the article, he expressed his desire for the future of the College: “I can
see the College doing incredible things for another 110 years. In order for us to keep our consistency, we must stay true to our mission statement, our five-fold mission, and our strong work ethic. These are the keys to keeping our College vital and maintaining a firm foundation for the future.” His concern for the students and employees was paramount. He loved the College deeply, taking a personal interest in those around him. “Dr. Keeter was a key factor in maintaining stability and the solid foundation of the College,” said the Honorable Doyle Childers, graduate and member of the C of O Board of Trustees and former Missouri senator. “I was a student when he came to the College and will never forget what he meant to all of us who had the opportunity to know and benefit from his almost 50 years of service.” Dr. Marci Linson, vice president for patriotic activities and dean of admissions, graduated in 1989 and has served at the College for 31 years. She has fond memories of Keeter, who was an inspiration to her and others. “To say Dr. Keeter bled maroon and white is an understatement.
bransonglobe.com This is an overused cliché, but I can think of no better way to describe his legacy and commitment to the College,” Linson said. “Doc was a gentle giant who spoke volumes by choosing his words wisely. He took a personal interest in both students’ and employees’ lives. I will miss his storytelling, his kind heart, and the way his eyes twinkled when he smiled. There is a huge hole in our hearts, but what precious memories of a great man we have to cherish.” The path of a leader Because he grew up in the area, Keeter remembered hearing about The School of the Ozarks in high school. He and his friends enjoyed visiting The School of the Ozarks to play basketball on campus. Later on, as a high school principal, he brought prospective students to the junior college. In the late 1960s through the beginning of the 1970s, the institution struggled through difficult financial times. Praying for a “saving grace,” then President M. Graham Clark sought to find a hard-working person to help manage a multifaceted, growing enterprise. He desired an associate who would have the gift of tenacity, accomplishing any task set before him. Clark found that person in Dr. Howell W. Keeter. Keeter graduated from the Arkansas State Teachers College, now the University of Central Arkansas, in 1959 with a B.S. in math and education, and from the University of Arkansas, he earned a Master of Education in 1961 and an Ed.D. in 1967. On June 1, 1970, Keeter became work coordinator at The School of the Ozarks, and after proving his managerial and financial planning skills, he was made associate dean of administration in 1971. In 1975, Keeter became chancellor of the College for six years and acting president for a year and a half. Thereafter, he took on the role of vice president. Keeter had also served as corporate secretary of the board of trustees for 35 years.

Mahomes piles up big numbers at Arrowhead - on Election Day (AP) Patrick Mahomes piled up some very big numbers at Arrowhead Stadium last week. Twice Five days before throwing for four touchdowns and nearly 400 yards in the Kansas City Chiefs’
33-31 victory over the Carolina Panthers, Mahomes helped turn his home stadium into a giant polling place on Election Day. When Missouri couldn’t figure out a way to pay for a polling station at Arrowhead Sta-
dium, the Chiefs and their star quarterback chipped in the six figures necessary to cover the cost of 40 voting machines and other necessities that allowed Jackson County residents to vote there.
“I thought it was very important. Not only just to get as many people out to vote as possible, but also to use a place (such) as Arrowhead where we have a lot of fun, show a lot of love and unity with people coming together, and use it as a place where we can come together to vote and use our voice,” Mahomes told the “ Huddle & Flow ” podcast with Jim Trotter and Steve Wyche. Chiefs president Mark Donovan and head coach Andy Reid were among the first to vote at Arrowhead on Tuesday. Mahomes, who filled out an absentee ballot from Texas, said he voted for the first time in his life, as did Denver Broncos star linebacker Von Miller, who is recovering from ankle surgery. Miller went on Instagram Live on the eve of the election to tell Sen. Cory Booker (D.New Jersey) that he decided to cast his ballot after a heart-toheart conversation with Broncos running backs coach Curtis Modkins.
“I just wanted to let my voice be heard,” Miller told Booker. “We’ve been fighting for the right to vote for years and years and one of my coaches, Coach Modkins, he sat down with us and we had a team meeting and we talked about how important it is to vote no matter who is on the ballot. “Our people have been fighting for years and years and years for this right. And, we owe it to them to go out there and vote. That really just struck me and that was really the wave that pushed me over the top to go out there and exercise my voice.” The NFL and its players union announced last week that following their joint efforts through NFL Votes and #AthleteAndVoter nonpartisan initiatives, 90% of active players were registered to vote in this year’s election and half the league’s stadiums were used as early voting or Election Day polling sites.

A park ranger heard that a group with cooking pots were hiking toward the park’s Shoshone Geyser Basin. The ranger found two whole chickens in a burlap sack in a hot spring. A cooking pot was nearby, Yellowstone spokeswoman Linda Veress said. “Make dinner,” said defendant Eric Roberts, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, when asked Thursday what the group was up to in the Yellowstone backcountry. As for whose idea it was: “It was kind of a joint thing,” Roberts explained. Roberts and Dallas Roberts, of West Valley City, Utah, were ordered to serve two days in jail and pay $540 in fines and fees for the Aug. 7, incident, according to court documents. Eric Romriell, of Idaho Falls, paid $1,250 in fines and fees. All three are banned from Yellowstone while serving two years of unsupervised probation. Dallas Roberts didn’t have a working listed number and Romriell didn’t immediately return a message Thursday at his ophthalmology clinic. Getting too close to and messing around with Yellowstone’s hot springs are no-nos and can be dangerous but violations aren’t unusual. A Dutch man was ordered to pay $3,000 for allegedly crashing a drone into the park’s famous Grand Prismatic Spring in 2014.

Yes, it’s chilly. It’s November in the Ozarks after all By Daryl Weather, Weather Forecaster Warmer temps? Yeah, those are gone for awhile. I hope everyone got to enjoy the warmer temps that we had last week and through the weekend. Doesn’t look like we will be seeing those for just a bit now. After a cold front moved through yesterday and a little more rain to some areas around the Ozarks it also brought cooler temps. You may have felt
that this morning on your way out the door with morning lows ranging from low to mid 30s. We will get a short break from the rain today and again tomorrow but the cooler temps will hang around. By late Friday into Saturday we have another shot at precipitation around the Ozarks. Sunday we get to see the sun again but again, temps will be on the cool side. Many of you may not know, but I am A United States Navy Veteran.
I wanted to take the time to tell all of my fellow veterans and current service members from ALL branches of the military “Thank You” for your service and sacrifices for our nation. To all the families of veterans and current service members, thank you as well for your sacrifices. Carrying the family through and providing for them on your own. I know it’s not easy to not have your loved ones home with you during the
holidays and also the worries of their safety. To all of the young women and men enlisting, Thank you as well for taking a big step into your future and defending the future of the United States. I’m very proud of you for taking that step. Remember. ALL GAVE SOME AND SOME GAVE ALL. Thank a Veteran friends! To end this. This is for my fellow Squids out there! “HOOYAH”
