By KD Michaels, Staff Writer Downtown Branson was packed on Sunday night, as many attended the 72nd Annual Adoration parade. Although the parade contained fewer entries than in years past due to COVID, that didn’t damp-
en the spirits of parade-goers. All in attendance cheered as floats and bands passed by, celebrating the true meaning of Christmas during the parade, which has become a time-honored tradition in Branson. SEE MORE PHOTOS ON PAGE 2.

Community organizations ensuring Pets of the Week cancer patients can access care Tri-Lakes Humane Society, Reeds Spring
Submitted to Branson Globe Sonja and Wilburn Clark are quick to share how blessed they are despite both getting cancer diagnoses within one month of each other. The couple travels from Protem to Branson five times a week for Wilburn Clark’s radiation treatments and Sonja Clark’s visits with her oncologist. It’s about an hour drive one-way for each visit. Getting the care they need is costly, but several organizations in the community have stepped up to help alleviate some of the financial burden for cancer patients like the Clarks. This year Table Rock Lake Community Foundation, White River Valley Electric Cooperative’s Operation Round Up program, and First Community Bank of the Ozarks have all stepped up to provide funding for Skaggs Foundation’s Cancer Center gas card program. In addition, employees of Cox Medical Center Branson who donate to Skaggs Foundation have helped contribute an additional $1,000 to the program. “Transportation continues to be one of the biggest challenges for patients in our community,” said Ben Morris, director of CoxHealth Cancer Center Branson. “Cancer
care routinely requires multiple visits to the hospital, and those trips add up quickly.” Morris said it’s a blessing to be able to help patients like the Clarks who just need a little extra help getting to the care they need. “I don’t know that those who give to this program realize that the people they are helping, how much they need this,” said Angelia Huels, RN, a patient navigator at the cancer center, who helps patients like the Clarks access the resources they need. “Sonja and I want to thank you
so much for what you have done for us during this time of need,” Wilburn Clark said. In addition to making the cancer center gas card program possible, Skaggs Foundation funds a lunch program for cancer patients and recently received funding from White River Valley Electric’s Operation Round Up to also provide nutritional drinks to patients who need the additional nutrition. To give to any of these or other Skaggs Foundation programs, call 417-348-8998 or visit SkaggsFoundation.org.

By Pat Lamb When our children were young, there were some Christmas days that my husband and I would look at each other in bewilderment as we watched our children open their presents, set them aside, and start playing with the cardboard boxes they came in! We had put much time and effort into selecting what we thought was just the right gift, yet they enjoyed the boxes more than what they had contained. It is easy to spend a good deal of money and time and still not come up with the right gift. We all like to see children have fun and be happy on Christmas morning. It is a temptation to overspend to make sure that the children will not be disappointed. Sometimes we buy a gift, and then not feeling sure we chose the right gift, we go and buy another gift. Where does it stop? It is great to give a gift that the kids really like and have fun with. It is even greater if they can have fun and learn something valuable at the same time. Money spent on educational toys is money well invested. It is unfortunate that there are also toys on the market that have little or no learning value and break easily. Those toys are a waste of money. Some last only a few minutes. We, as parents and grandparents, need to use wisdom in deciding whether
Pat Lamb (FILE)
the toy asked for by a child is really the best purchase. I have never been excited over Disney creations. They may be all right but what do they really teach? I see very little, if any, learning
value in them. Barbie dolls may actually have a negative effect on children. After all, what kind of goals do we want our children to have? I was glad when our daughter decided that she did not want to encourage our granddaughter to get excited about Barbie dolls. Someone gave our granddaughter a Barbie book when she was small. I was astonished when I read it to her and found what the book was about. Barbie was sad because she wasn’t going to get to model in a show until another model broke her leg, and she got the job after all. Are we teaching our children to profit by the misfortune of others?
We need to consider, also, that many toys are made overseas. We may want to wash or sterilize some before the children play with them. They may be made in factories that are not sanitary and come on ships a long way. Someone told me that they worked one Christmas season unpacking toys that came from overseas and a big blue bug flew out of a box. Everyone was sent out of the room while it was fumigated. The children who got those toys not only got toys that had had bugs on them, but had also been sprayed with insect killer. Let us keep our emotions under control and carefully think through the selection of gifts for our children.

The priceless lesson I learned from a bag of dirt “That’ll be five dollars, please,” I said, forcing a fake smile on my tired, dirty face. My cheerfulness by this time of the day had dwindled to almost nothing. I was tired. Tired of tourists, tired of the hot sun, tired of watching people sift for rocks in brown water, tired of hearing them complain that they didn’t get anything good. I was working for the summer at an amusement park in Branson, Missouri constructed to imitate life in the 1800s, otherwise known as Silver Dollar City. It was a job that required the employee to be outgoing and have a good time with the patrons. But some days, grouchy people caused me to want to crawl back into my shell like a hermit. I exchanged the wrinkled bill for a small one-pound plastic bag full of dirt and rocks and handed
Tiffany Brown (FILE)
it to the man. It was obvious that he was a tourist. His twisted look of curiosity and his waist purse gave it away. Tagging alongside were his two little boys. I
watched as they picked up one sifting pan from the top of the large wooden crate and walked over to the sluice. After watching them for a few minutes, I went over to see what they had found. I loved sharing what limited knowledge I had of the different types of stones and determining whether they were valuable or not, but this time there was little to talk about. Seeing the lack of variety and value from that five-dollar bag of dirt, I whispered an apology to the man in expectation of his displeasure. But he smiled at me and said, “That’s okay. All they wanted was the experience.” I soon went back to working, only now a little bit happier because of the friendliness I had received from this man and his family. But as I served more and more people, I began to think
about the words the man had spoken to me. “All they wanted was the experience.” I had never seen anyone come and mine for gemstones just for the experience of mining for gemstones. No, all they cared about were the rocks they could take home with them afterward. I had never seen anyone opt for the intangible before—the sheer enjoyment of doing something new and exciting. When at first those words seemed somewhat strange to me, they later caused me to take an in-depth look at life. I realized how much I was like all of those people to whom I sold bags of dirt every day. I saw the way they panned for gemstones as a perfect reflection of the way many people choose to see their lives. Throughout the rest of the day, I watched as people sifted the dirt away from what they hoped
would be precious stones. Many found exactly what the two sons of the tourist had found—nothing but creek rocks and a few chunks of fool’s gold. But they left with something very different. For in the process of trying to get some good rocks, they let the dirt wash away with the water, out of their memory, and were left feeling disappointed. But for the two little boys, the dirt was what made the whole experience worthwhile, and they left with an appreciation for a time well spent. That day I left with a much different attitude. For now I did not see it as a job, but as an opportunity to live life to the fullest. It has been said, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Perhaps we can also say, “When life gives you dirt, make mud pies!”

Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Bottlling Company announces addition of Gregory Hargis Submitted to Branson Globe SPRINGFIELD, MO—Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Bottling Company is pleased to announce the addition of Gregory Rice Hargis, Esq. to the leadership team as General Counsel. Ozarks Coca Cola/Dr Pepper celebrated 100 years as a family business this
year, and Hargis joins the leadership team as a fourth-generation member of that family. A local product of Glendale High School, Hargis went on to earn his bachelor’s degree from Southern Methodist University before graduating from Washington University in St. Louis in 2015
with both his Juris Doctorate and MBA. Following his admission to the Missouri Bar that same year, he completed four years as a Lieutenant with the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) Corps. His two tours as a JAG officer bestowed him with valuable experience in prosecution, defense, appellate law, and public affairs, as well as earning him two Navy-Marine Corps Achievement Medals for meritorious service. Along with his October appointment to the position at Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper, Hargis will remain in reserve status with the Navy. “I am pleased and honored to become an integral part of such a longstanding and respected company, especially one that is synonymous with my family name in this region,” said Hargis. “The fact that I’m following in those footsteps and carrying on that tradition makes the opportunity
Hargis (Special to Branson Globe)
that much more meaningful.” “It’s a great feeling to see the next generations stepping up to become part of our company,” said Ed “Cookie” Rice, CEO of the company. “I loved seeing Gregory go out on
his own and establish himself, then make the choice to bring his talents back home to support our family business. His hiring was a very proud moment for our family and me.”

near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance, in which anything that can go wrong, does.

A unique recipe for healing: Bill Murray and a biblical text By Elana Schor and Andrew Welsh-Huggins, AP Against the backdrop of a pandemic’s blight and wounds from an acrimonious election, a group of acclaimed actors on Sunday staged an online reading of a religious text with remarkable relevance to the current moment: the Book of Job. Audience members may have been drawn to the production by the casting of Bill Murray as Job, the righteous man tested by the loss of his health, home and children, but the real star was the format. Staged on Zoom, it was aimed at Republican-leaning Knox County, Ohio, with participation from locals including people of faith, and designed to spark meaningful conversations across spiritual and political divides. After the performance, several people from the area were asked to share their perspective on the

★
ancient story in a virtual discussion. It was then thrown open to some of the scores of others signed in, no matter their location. One young woman studying social work shared that Job’s judgment at the hands of others during his suffering inspired her to reflect on “how I am practicing empathy” during the coronavirus. The structure of a dramatic reading followed by open-ended dialogue is a fixture of Theater of War Productions, the company behind the event. Artistic director Bryan Doerries is an alumnus of Kenyon College in Knox County and chose the area to focus on bridging rifts opened by the election and sharing the pain of a pandemic that’s tied to more than 275,000 U.S. deaths. By using Job’s story “as a vocabulary for a conversation, the hope is that we can actually engender connection, healing,” Do-

erries said. “People can hear each other’s truths even if they don’t agree with them.” The performance was headlined by Murray and featured other noted actors such as Frankie Faison and David Strathairn. The cast also included Matthew Starr, mayor of the Knox County town of Mount Vernon, who will play Job’s accuser. He said the timing is perfect for the moment the country is going through, between the pandemic, the heated election and racial justice protests. His hope is that the event and the dialogue afterward lead to less shouting and more listening. And a good story like that of Job can do so more effectively than a new law or a new directive, by changing people’s hearts, said Starr, a Republican and supporter of President Donald Trump who founded an independent film company before going into politics.

“God does not say that bad things aren’t going to happen, but He does tell us, when they do, we’re not alone,” Starr said. Knox County, a largely rural community of about 62,000 residents including a medium-size
Amish population, lies about an hour east of the state capital, Columbus. Despite its numerous farms, most people in the county work blue-collar manufacturing jobs at several local factories. SEE HEALING, PAGE 18

The county, which is 97% white, is a conservative stronghold that voted for Trump by a nearly 3-1 margin in November and also went overwhelmingly for him in 2016. An exception is Kenyon College, a small liberal arts school perched on a hill a few miles outside Mount Vernon. Voters in the precincts comprising the college and the village of Gambier voted 8-1 for President-elect Joe Biden. To help prompt more locals to engage in the post-reading conversation, Doerries worked with leaders from multiple faith traditions. Among them is Marc Bragin, Jewish chaplain at Kenyon, who said he hopes the
experience can help people who share bigger values look beyond their differences. Bragin, administrator of a project backed by the nonprofit Interfaith Youth Core that partners Kenyon students with counterparts at nearby Mount Vernon Nazarene University, said he’s hopeful they will attend the discussion and take away an important lesson: “Surround yourself with people who aren’t like you,” he said, “and you can have such a bigger impact on your community, your world.” Pastor LJ Harry, who has also been recruiting people for the virtual conversation, does not believe Knox County is as divided as other places in the country. The police chaplain and pastor at the Apostolic Church
of Christ in Mount Vernon said most in the area are united in their support for Trump and for law enforcement, with protests after the death of George Floyd spirited but peaceful. Harry said the community’s biggest point of contention is over mask-wearing, with many resisting Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s statewide mandate. He likened Knox County’s need for healing to that of a hospital patient who has left intensive care but remains in a step-down unit, and said he hopes the performance will drive home God’s central role in Job’s story. “That’s the message I’m hoping our church family, our community, hears,” Harry said. “God has this in control, even though it feels like it’s out of control.”
In the biblical tale, God allows for Job’s massive losses as a means to share broader truths about suffering. The story ends with the restoration of what was taken from him, plus more. Theater of War held its first Job reading in Joplin, Missouri, a year after a tornado killed more than 160 people there in 2011. The company has performed more than 1,700 readings worldwide, harnessing Greek drama and other resonant texts to evoke deeper dialogues about an array of issues. Doerries acknowledged that his company’s readings always have the potential to fall flat if a genuine back-and-forth doesn’t develop. Still, he’s betting that Sunday’s event could create space for people from different
bransonglobe.com backgrounds, in Ohio and beyond, to engage with each other. “Our hope is not that there’s going to be a group hug at the end of the thing, or that we’re going to resolve all our political differences, but that we can remind people of our basic humanity … what it requires to live up to basic values such as treating our neighbor as ourselves,” Doerries said.

Change the numbers: Designate a sober driver or call for a ride this holiday season Missouri Dept. of Transportation JEFFERSON CITY, MO – While this holiday season may be different from years past, a lot of those smaller, socially distanced gatherings will still most likely include alcoholic beverages. The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety wants to remind those who
plan to celebrate to designate a sober driver or call a ride to avoid driving impaired. Statewide, law enforcement will be on the lookout for substance-impaired drivers; with targeted enforcement efforts Dec. 13, 2020, to Jan. 1, 2021. There were 51 people killed and
261 seriously injured in Missouri traffic crashes between Dec. 10, 2019, and Jan. 1, 2020. Twelve of the fatalities and 40 of the serious injuries involved a substance-impaired driver. That equates to potentially over 300 families whose lives were changed in an instant during what should be the most

It’s time to change the numbers. “We want everyone to enjoy a safe and happy holiday season,” said Jon Nelson, executive chair to the coalition. “Therefore, we are making a special effort to reach motorists with reminders to plan ahead for a safe and sober ride home.” What’s tragic about these crashes is that they are clearly preventable. Substance-impaired driving is a crime, not an “accident,” and is one of America’s most often
committed and deadliest crimes. There are no excuses for driving impaired. The facts are known drinking and driving, or drug use - both over-the-counter and illegal, can be a lethal combination. The consequences are fines, jail time or even death. Officers will be out in full force this holiday season. If you choose to drive impaired, you will be arrested.

She said that work “is going to be in our generation’s hands pretty soon. So if no one else is gonna do it, I’m gonna do it.” The sensor technology involves molecules of carbon atoms that can detect chemical changes, including chemicals in water. Rao has partnered with rural schools; museums; science, technology, engineering and mathematics organizations; and other

In a world where science is increasingly questioned or challenged, Rao insisted that its pursuit is an essential act of kindness, the best way that a younger generation can better the world. Science and technology are being employed as never before to tackle the coronavirus pandemic, global warming and a host of other issues, she noted. “We have science in everything we’re involved in, and I think that’s the biggest thing to put out there, that science is cool, innovating is cool, and anybody can be an innovator,” Rao said. “Anybody can do science.”

Join MDC for a virtual venison burger and sausage making class Dec. 14 St. LOUIS, Mo.—Locally-sourced foods have become more popular than ever. If you’re a successful deer hunter, you’ve already taken the first step in procuring healthy, naturally-sourced protein. After the
shot is fired or arrow released, and the deer field dressed, what’s the next step to get it to the dinner table? The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is offering a free, online class to
help get you from field to fork by showing you how to create two of the most popular types of meats. A Venison Burger and Sausage Making class will be held Monday, Dec. 14 from 6-7 p.m. It will take deer hunters
through the step-by-step process needed to process fresh venison into ready-to-eat delicacies. This virtual event will provide instruction on how to make burger and sausage out of venison. It will cover how to grind and season your harvested deer meat to make it into tasty burgers and sausage. Besides traditional hamburgers, hunters will find lean and healthy ground venison a perfect enhancement for other dishes too, such as spaghetti sauce, chili, tacos, sloppy Joes, and casseroles. Hunters will learn how to make sure burgers and sausages created with their venison is the
best quality possible at this special Field to Fork event, hosted by the staff at MDC’s August A. Busch Shooting Range and Outdoor Education Center in Defiance. Venison Burger and Sausage Making is a free online program, but advanced online registration is required at https:// short.mdc.mo.gov/Zb2 for each person attending.

(AP) — Missouri’s health department director on Thursday announced that the state is expected to get coronavirus vaccines for about 170,000 additional people this month. Director Randall Williams said 64,000 Pfizer vaccines and an addi-
tional 105,000 from Moderna are scheduled to arrive around Dec. 21. The state is expecting an initial 51,000 doses from Pfizer sometime before then. Missouri is following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to give the
vaccine to health care workers and nursing home staff first. The news follows the Wednesday release of an independent review that found Missouri veterans homes didn’t act take the COVID-19 virus seriously enough, act quickly enough or plan well enough to prevent its spread.
Republican Gov. Mike Parson in October called on the Missouri Veterans Commission to conduct an external review of its handling of the coronavirus following an uptick in cases at homes. About 342 veterans at state homes have tested positive for the virus as of mid-November, according to the report by St. Louis law firm Armstrong Teasdale. At least 103 have died. “There’s some things in that report that are definitely going to have to be addressed and they’re going to have to be explained,” Parson told reporters Thursday. The review found that officials did not take aggressive action when the first COVID-19 cases hit veterans homes, and investigators wrote that lack of long-term planning demonstrated an “absence of leadership.” “Without an appreciation for the problem or a comprehensive plan in place, the (Missouri Veterans Commission’s) response to the outbreak was inadequate,” investigators wrote. “In particular, the Homes had significant issues related to testing,
cross-contamination, and staffing.” The review found that delayed test results, multiple residents rooming together in close quarters, and staffing shortages contributed to the virus’ spread. Reviewers also recommended that designated family members be allowed to visit residents. The federal government banned visitors at nursing homes and other long-term care centers earlier this year in hopes of preventing outbreaks among vulnerable residents. But reviewers said that resulted in “an outbreak of loneliness, isolation, depression and atrophy” at Missouri veterans homes. “The Veterans are alive, but not living,” reviewers wrote. Missouri’s health department in September released guidelines to allow more visits but with strict precautions. Missouri Veterans Commission Chairman Tim Noonan said Armstrong Teasdale gave some of the advice to the commission before the report was issued so changes could be made quickly.

Cheers! Or not: ‘Scandalous’ 1st Christmas card up for sale The first commercially printed Christmas card is up for sale — a merry Victorian-era scene that scandalized some who denounced it as humbug when it first appeared in 1843. The card, being sold online starting Friday through a consortium run by Marvin Getman, a Boston-based dealer in rare books and manuscripts, depicts an English family toasting the recipient with glasses of red wine. “A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You,” it reads. But for teetotalers — and there were plenty of those in the 19th century — the imagery included a bit too much holiday cheer: In the foreground, a young girl is pictured taking a sip from an adult’s glass. That didn’t sit well at the time with the puritanical Temperance Society, which kicked up such a fuss it took three years before another Christmas card was produced. “They were quite distressed that in this ‘scandalous’ picture they had children toasting with a glass of wine along with the adults. They had a campaign to censor and suppress it,” said Justin Schiller, founder and president of Kingston, New

York-based Battledore Ltd., a dealer in antiquarian books who is selling the card. Getman, whose brokerage had shifted online before the coronavirus pandemic disrupted traditional touring book fairs, said the hand-colored lithograph is believed to have been a salesperson’s sample. Only 1,000 copies were printed and sold for a shilling apiece, and experts believe fewer than 30 have survived, he said. The card, intended to double as a greeting for Christmas and New Year’s Day, was designed by painter and illustrator John Callcott Horsley at the suggestion of Sir Henry Cole, a British civil servant and inventor who founded the Victoria
& Albert Museum in London. Cole is widely credited with starting the tradition of sending holiday cards, a multimillion-dollar industry today. It’s believed to have gone on sale in the same week in December 1843 that Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” first was published. Christie’s auction house in London also is selling one of the rare cards and says it expects the item to fetch between 5,000 and 8,000 pounds ($6,725 to $10,800.) Also being sold by the Boston consortium is “Santa Claus,” a handwritten poem by Emily Dickinson about the jolly old elf. Parental warning: Dickinson’s take is a little bleak for youngsters. “She’s basically saying Santa
The first commercially produced Christmas card, dated December 1843, caused quite a stir. (Dennis M V David/Battledore Ltd. via AP)

Beautiful and warm through midweek By Daryl Weather, Weather Forecaster How about all this beautiful weather we have had?! I hope you are okay with a couple of more days before cooler temps
move into the Ozarks. Today and tomorrow will be warmer as upper ridging moves overhead and a low pressure system approaches from the west. Both today and tomorrow
will be mostly sunny with highs in the 60s. The next system moves nearby on Friday, bringing rain late Thursday night into Friday night as well as cooler temperatures
Friday into next week. Highs Friday will be in the 50s, followed by highs in the 40s. I’ll take another look at our upcoming weekend in our Friday edition. Until then, stay safe friends!
