Brock Shamel, Administrative Director - Clinic Medical Group Operations with CoxHealth Regional Services, was invited to join the FAiTH board in 2013 and served as an executive committee member for five years in the roles of secretary and treasurer. Shamel credits FAiTH founding member and volunteer physician, Dr. Peter Marcellus, with introducing him to the charitable clinic in 2011. “It was evident that God had a plan,” Shamel recounted. “The journey along the way has been full of blessing.” He cites Psalm 139 as motivation, stating “I thank him every day for allowing me to

Branson Globe to Collect Food and Toys
The management and staff of The Branson Globe are joining forces with our advertisers to help those in need in the area, through two local nonprofit organizations. The Branson Globe and friends are holding a food drive and toy drive now through December 23, collecting nonperishable food items and new, unwrapped toys. Food items collected will be donated to Christian Action Ministries, a local help-agency who assists those in need with groceries, through food banks in both Branson and Forsyth, and mobile outreach. Toys collected will be taken to the Salvation Army for use in one of their holiday assistance programs, the Toy Store, slated for later in December where parents can
“shop” for gifts for their children ages 0 to 17 for Christmas. Advertisers and friends of The Branson Globe will be assisting with the collection of donations. Currently, donations may be taken to The Rogue Chef, located at 2715 West 76 Country Boulevard, The World’s Largest Toy Museum (Memory Barn Entrance) at 3609 West 76 Country Boulevard, or The Flag Store at 114 South Commercial Street. Donations may also be taken to The Branson Globe office, located at 2460 South Business 65, Suite 106, in Hollister. Additional drop-off sites will be added soon. The Branson Globe appreciates your support. Thank you for helping us help others!

be a part of such a special opportunity.” Executive Director Kenn Tilus notes that Shamel’s presence on the board was indispensable to the clinic leadership team as they worked to strengthen the organization. Tilus cited Shamel’s rich understanding of clinic operations and finance, crediting his leadership on the board with helping FAiTH create a strategy for longterm sustainability. Dr. Allison Griffith, O.D., an optometrist with the Ozarks Family Vision Centre, has served with the FAiTH board of directors since 2015, following three years of service on the advisory board. Dr. Griffith shared stories about the patients who motivated her, including several who expressed that “they could finally afford to take the medications that they

Local event planner now a published author By KD Michaels, Staff Writer Jill Reynolds is a tremendously successful, certified event planner, who has 37 years of experience in networking, consultation, media, logistics and hospitality. As a Consultative Event Planning Specialist, Reynolds, of Reeds Spring, helps to plan and implement conferences, retreats, workshops and other types of events for a variety of businesses, organizations, leaders and entrepreneurs. Now Reynolds can add published author to her list of accomplishments. Reynolds was recently invited to be a part of an anthology book, “Fiercely Faithful” by Dr. Elizabeth Clamon, with a chapter outlining how she was delivered from many life issues. “I prayed about it, and I felt God directing me to write a chapter called ‘The Essence of Humility,’ “ noted Reynolds. The book is available this week on Amazon as an E-book. Meeting Dr. Clamon and participating in the book led to another adventure for Reynolds. “She asked me if I could be her event planner and plan a conference in Branson,” Reynolds explained. “The purpose of the book and the conference

Branson Star Theater: Bring a toy, see a show By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer Branson Star Theater invites the community to help provide Christmas toys for local children and see a great show at the same time. On Friday, Dec. 18, and Saturday, Dec. 19, anyone contributing a new toy will receive a free ticket for the theater’s Nashville Roadhouse Live show. Toys will be collected around the Christmas tree and grand piano in the theater lobby and may be brought unwrapped, or wrapped and labeled as suitable for boy, girl, or either, plus the approximate age range. Toys will be distributed through the Salvation Army. For those who want to participate but can’t make it to a show, toys may be brought to the theater during regular box office hours this week: • Tuesday: 12 – 4 p.m. and 6 – 10 p.m. • Wednesday: 6 – 10 p.m. • Thursday: 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. • Friday and Saturday: 9 a.m. – 10 p.m. Acting manager Chris Kendrick said the performers and staff at the Branson Star Theater wanted to give back to the community, especially this year when many families have experienced illness or had jobs impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Last week’s shows featured a food drive in conjunction with discounted tickets, and con-
tributions of non-perishable food items are still being accepted this week. The high-energy Nashville Roadhouse Live features recording artist Stevie Lee Woods and the Nashville Roadhouse Band. The band members are well recognized, award-winning musicians around Branson and in the Nashville recording industry, some with their own local shows. The musical selections are a blend of country and rock, guaranteed to have everybody singing along with a favorite. In addition to food and toy drives, the theater will serve dinner for up to 28 local persons in need, prior to the Saturday, Dec. 19 show. Attendees will also be
invited to stay and enjoy the show. Signup is required, upon recommendation from local individuals or through the Salvation Army and Elevate Branson. Also on Christmas Eve, four area families will receive a catered Christmas dinner personally delivered by Santa Claus to their homes. “This has been a tough year,” said Stevie Lee Woods. “It’s been tough in the music business, too, but we wanted to find a way to bless some people right here in our area.” To recommend a deserving individual or family for the meals, a form will be available on the theater website, https://www.bransonstartheater.com/, or call the theater office, 417-320-3418.

By Pat Lamb When my husband and I worked on the Navajo reservation several years ago, at one time we had a principal of our school who was one of the last survivors of the Mandan Indian tribe. On one occasion, his cousin came to visit him and gave him an air conditioning unit for his car. Mr. Bearghost, our principal, in turn gave his cousin his favorite rifle. He explained to us that the custom of the Mandan tribe had always been to give as a gift to someone else the thing that meant the most to self. In keeping with this custom, when a man went deer hunting the first deer killed was to be given away to someone else. The hunter could keep only the second deer killed. “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” is a difficult lesson to teach children. It is something we adults often forget ourselves. However, it really is true. Some of the best memories of Christmas are those of pleasing someone else with a gift. True love means giving up the wants and wishes of self for the benefit of others. The purpose of giving gifts at Christmas is to show love for others. It follows then, that to truly show love for others, we need to sacrifice the wants of self. We should not go in debt to give gifts. By doing so, we are not really giving the gift, but

the gift is being given by the one providing the money. A gift should come from our own means. When we give money to children to buy gifts, it is really the person who gave the money who is buying the gift. Children should examine their own means and abilities to see what they can give. One of the best gifts that can be given is time. How wonderful it is when our grown children now come to visit my husband and
me, and they look around the house to see what needs to be done that is difficult for us to do. Every time they visit and leave, they have left the place in better shape than when they came. Small children, too, can learn that obeying and helping with chores can be a good gift for parents and others. At a missions conference I attended, we were told that people in another country were praying for America because we had become too materialistic. Christmas is a time when we have a special opportunity to choose whether to put emphasis on materialism or to teach children that material
things are not lasting and that there are more important things in life. At the current time, as we look at pictures on TV of homes burned in California and other places, we see a visual lesson of how material things do not last. In recent years and months, we have seen over and over belongings of people destroyed in floods, hurricanes, fires, ice storms, earthquakes, or tornadoes. These happenings should serve as a reminder to us that there are more important things in life than material possessions. This Christmas season may we truly put emphasis on love of family and others instead of just accumulating “things.”

The day I learned the meaning of NABD By Tiffany Brown, Staff Writer It had been one of those familiar meltdown days. Another volleyball game had proven to be a catalyst for junior high drama, therefore spurring on a subsequent tear-filled evening in the Ellsworth household. But the deluge was no match for my dad’s quick wit. By some miracle, he got me calmed down enough that I could think somewhat coherently. He pulled out a piece of paper and wrote the letters, NABD. My curiosity was piqued. Was this some sort of hidden code I’d never heard of? Another attempt at Dad humor? I wanted to know more. “Know what this means?” he asked. “No.” “Not A Big Deal,” he answered.
Tiffany Brown (FILE)
Oh geez. I rolled my eyes, assuming it was in fact an attempt at Dad humor, and I found it a little insulting — like he was minimizing my pain. I reluctantly allowed him to proceed (as if I had
a choice in the matter). Figured I’d give him a chance to redeem himself. “I want you to keep this piece of paper. Put it in your school binder or tape it up in your locker so you won’t forget it. And the next time something happens that makes you feel upset, I want you to stop, breathe, and think. Think about whether the situation is worth becoming emotionally and physically drained. Is it going to matter in a day, month, or year from now? If the answer is no, then remind yourself that it is ‘not a big deal.’ Remember who you are, Tiffany. And most importantly, remember whose you are. You’re God’s girl. You carry the Spirit of God within you. Don’t let people and situations make you act like someone you’re not. Shine the light of Je-
sus. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength. People need your light. Don’t let the devil steal it away from you.” He had more than redeemed himself. At first it seemed like a silly, off-the-cuff idea of his. On the contrary, he was being “instant in season,” as the scripture so charges those who are led of God. As a result, his words turned on a light bulb within my spirit. In less than an hour, my dad (by the leading of our “Wonderful Counselor”) had accomplished what years of therapy never could have. Do you find yourself frequently fretting about your circumstances? May your heart be encouraged by my dad’s advice. The next time something happens that makes you feel upset, stop, breathe, and think. Think
about whether the situation is worth becoming emotionally and physically drained. Is it going to matter in a day, month, or year from now? If the answer is no, then remind yourself that it is totally and completely NABD! (Excerpted from Tiffany’s new memoir, Landmarks. To order your copy, visit tiffanykathleenministries.com)

knew they needed and were able to avoid costly hospitalizations.” She continued, “I also talked to many patients who simply felt that the quality of care they received at FAiTH exceeded [care] that they received at other clinics.” Tilus expressed appreciation for Dr. Griffith’s board service, including her key role in making vision care available to FAiTH patients and in shaping the FaithCare Vision program serving scores of small businesses across the region. Dr. Griffith looks forward to promoting FAiTH as a volunteer, continuing her commitment to community service. “The value of FAiTH in our community is truly immeasurable,” she commented. “It not only provides health care and medications to patients who are uninsured or underinsured, but also provides mental health counseling, prayer, and promotes whole body wellness.” Michael Sullivan, a CPA with Abacus CPAs, LLC, began service on FAiTH’s board of directors in 2016 after getting acquainted with the nonprofit through his employer. He served the board in the roles of treasurer and secretary as a member of the executive committee. Sullivan submitted his resignation with regrets, noting that he was moving back to his hometown to open a practice there, preventing him from continuing service in the Ozark Mountain Country served by the clinic.
bransonglobe.com Tilus noted that Sullivan’s financial expertise was invaluable as the clinic worked to develop stable footing and create new programs. “Michael’s financial wisdom and technical resources helped me address financial concerns and opportunities countless times,” said Tilus. Sullivan expressed his appreciation for the people who “have sacrificed their time, energy, and finances for the betterment of their neighbors.” He stated, “What I witnessed was inspiring and uplifting, a representation of the best of the Branson community.” Summing up the value of FAiTH’s impact on healthcare needs in our area, Sullivan commented, “I hope in the future every community will have an organization like Faith Community Health and experience the vital role played by the clinic in the Branson community.” Tilus commented that FAiTH has been blessed by the collective service of these board members over the last several years and is confident that the individuals beginning new terms in January will add energy and expertise to help position the clinic for continued growth in the years to come. The organization is focusing on plans to ensure sustainability and grow services to better meet the needs of the residents and workforce in our area who are unable to afford healthcare services. The clinic’s FaithCare program partners with local businesses to provide affordable access to care for uninsured workers.

man Park. On December 10, 2020, volunteers from Liberty Utilities and our local TreeKeeper program planted nine different varieties of trees in Eiserman Park, which can now be seen in the park at 201 Compton Drive. Our TreeKeeper volunteers work year around to maintain and
take care of trees in city parks and play a vital role in ongoing reforestation efforts. “We are grateful for our wonderful TreeKeeper volunteers who have been a great help all year,” said Branson Parks & Recreation SEE PARKS, PAGE 12

39 years in recovery. She has been fully recovered from substance abuse since 1984, from co-dependency since 1992 and from eating disorders since 2015. Over the years she has helped more than 50 women in recovery. Now Reynolds intentionally lives a life of serving others, helping them to find meaning and healing in their own lives. “I had been living in the suburbs of Chicago since 1980, and my husband retired in 2016,” said Reynolds. “I am disabled from a major car accident, and in 2015 I needed to quit my job. I had been working as a director of sales at hotels. But my mind hated sitting around.” Reynolds began her event planning business in 2016, “as a way to help others heal from life’s burdens and to take away the pressures of planning events
for leaders so they can do what they do best—lead.” Reynolds continued, “I began helping others through Burden Release Retreats, with a world-renowned therapist and thus began the Brave Heart Workshops I now do. We decided to move to Branson in 2018 to be closer to my son and three grandchildren, who live in St. Louis.” Reynolds has successfully planned a variety of events including retreats, workshops and conferences, on a plethora of topics. At the beginning of 2020, Reynolds had four retreats booked for the year, but the onset of COVID-19 forced the cancellation of all but one of the retreats. “Being a strong Christian, I turned to God and said ‘What next?’ I felt Him leading me into hosting my own podcast show, live, and interviewing
people, so I could help them have more exposure on social media and build their business,” Reynolds explained. “I then felt God saying ‘Start a Zoom Connection Gathering Show for those who really need to connect’. So, I began that, too, and we connect on Wednesday evenings on Zoom.” Reynolds’ upcoming conference, based largely on the book, is set for February in Branson. “The theme is for the attendees to be inspired, to find true purpose, and to live a miraculous life,” said Reynolds. “The speakers are the authors from the newly released book. The mission of the book and also the conference is for us to provide testimonies for those living through these challenging times, and to share about a time when our faith has been tested. We will each share from our own individual chapters. Mine was about an abortion I almost

had, but changed my mind as God showed me a vision to have my son. Some share about bankruptcies because of the loss of health, deaths in families, cancer survivors, domestic abuse survivors, and sexual abuse survivors. There is a wide range of topics. Also, praise and worship time, and breakout sessions to discuss more on the topics the authors and speakers will be sharing about.” While the conference is open to everyone, Reynolds noted that the Christ-based event will
serve as an outreach for those who have turned away from God or those who do not know Him. The Fiercely Faithful Life Conference is set for February 5-7 at the Kings Castle Theatre in Branson. For more information, visit www.braveheartworkshops.com.

Minimum Wage Rate Set for Private Employers for 2021
Jefferson City – The Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations announces the state minimum wage rate for 2021 has been established, according to state law, at $10.30 per hour, effective January 1, 2021. Pursuant to Proposition B, which was approved by Missouri voters on November 6, 2018, the minimum wage will increase 85 cents per hour each year through 2023. All private businesses are required
to pay at a minimum, the $10.30 hourly rate, except retail and service businesses whose gross annual sales are less than $500,000. Missouri ‘s minimum wage law does not apply to public employers, nor does it allow the state’s minimum wage rate to be lower than the federal minimum wage rate. Compensation for tipped employees must also total at least $10.30 per hour. Employers are required to pay tipped employees
at least 50 percent of the minimum wage, plus any amount necessary to bring the employee’s total compensation to a minimum of $10.30
per hour. To learn more about the minimum wage and to download a copy of the updated poster, visit labor.mo.gov/DLS/MinimumWage.

Hopeful sign: Midwestern states see drop in new virus cases By Adam Geller After a punishing fall that left hospitals struggling, some Midwestern states are seeing a decline in new coronavirus cases. But the signs of improvement are offset by the virus’s accelerating spread on both coasts: In California, officials scrambled to distribute body bags and deploy mobile morgues as infections rose at an alarming rate. States including Iowa, Mich-
igan, Minnesota and Nebraska have seen decreases in the number of people testing positive for COVID-19 over the past couple of weeks. All, however, are still experiencing an alarming number of deaths and hospitalizations because of the earlier surge of cases. With winter weather driving people indoors, where the virus spreads more easily, there’s no SEE HOPEFUL SIGN, PAGE 14

guarantee the improving dynamic can be maintained, doctors and public health officials say. “We have a vaccine rolling out, but that doesn’t change the overall picture,” Dr. James Lawler with the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s Global Center for Health Security told the Omaha World-Herald. “Things could still turn south pretty easily.” But he and others are encouraged by the figures. In Iowa, for example, the number of new virus cases reported daily has declined over the past two weeks from nearly 1,800 to about 1,250. In Nebraska, it has gone from about 1,800 a day to a little under 1,300. “I am fingers crossed right now,” said Dr. Stacey Marlow, an emergency room physician at UnityPoint Allen Hospital in Waterloo, Iowa. “The COVID patients that I am seeing are very, very sick. But
there are ... less of them.” Deaths from the virus in Iowa have continued to rise sharply, to an average of 79 a day, up from 28 two weeks ago. The hope, of course, is that the drop in infections will translate into a decline in deaths, but that could take time. Many of those now dying of COVID-19 may have been infected weeks ago. Nationwide, the death toll has topped 300,000, with more than 16 million confirmed infections. On average, the U.S. is seeing about 2,400 deaths and over 215,000 new cases per day. An influential model from the University of Washington says deaths could total 502,000 by April 1, even with a vaccine. Lawler said more Nebraska residents appear to be following warnings to limit dining out and wear masks in public. It helps that a number of Nebraska cities recently passed mask mandates, he said.
Established 2012
But he said it’s important for Nebraskans to remain vigilant about maintaining social distancing as they wait for vaccines to become widely available in the spring. In a call with governors this week, White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Deborah Birx said the progress in Midwestern states is being offset by a “deteriorating situation” on both coasts. Nationwide, the number of people in the hospital with the virus has hit an all-time high of more than 110,000, according to the COVID Tracking Project. In California, hospitalizations are now double the summertime peak and threaten to overwhelm the system, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Tuesday. The supply of beds in intensive care units is dwindling as new cases average more than 31,000 a day. State officials are distributing 5,000 body bags, SEE HOPEFUL SIGN, PAGE 15

“We cannot let this virus keep growing, especially at a moment where we are finally getting the vaccine and can turn the corner,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said. About 370 coronavirus patients were in intensive care in the city this week, triple the number of a month ago, but a fraction of the more than 3,100 patients who
filled ICUs in April. Across the state, new confirmed cases have risen from about 6,500 a day to more than 10,100 over the past two weeks.

Feds to delay seeking legal protection for monarch butterfly By John Flesher TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Federal officials on Tuesday declared the monarch butterfly “a candidate” for threatened or endangered status, but said no action would be taken for several years because of the many other species awaiting that designation. Environmentalists said delaying that long could spell disaster for the beloved black-and-orange butterfly, once a common sight in backyard gardens, meadows and other landscapes now seeing its population dwindling. The monarch’s status will be reviewed annually, said Charlie Wooley, head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Great Lakes regional office. Emergency action could be taken earlier, but plans now call for proposing to list the monarch under the Endangered Species Act in 2024 unless its situation improves enough to make the step unnecessary. The proposal would be followed by another year for public com-
ment and development of a final rule. Listing would provide a number of legal protections, including a requirement that federal agencies consider effects on the butterfly or its habitat before allowing highway construction and other potentially damaging activities. Scientists estimate the monarch population in the eastern U.S. has fallen about 80% since the mid1990s, while the drop-off in the western U.S. has been even steeper. “We conducted an intensive, thorough review using a rigorous, transparent science-based process and found that the monarch meets listing criteria under the Endangered Species Act,” Fish and Wildlife Service Director Aurelia Skipwith said in a statement. “However, before we can propose listing, we must focus resources on our higher-priority listing actions.” Scientists will continue monitoring the butterfly’s numbers and the effectiveness of what Wooley SEE MONARCH, PAGE 20

Abdul-Mateen’s career may have started later than most, but he was all over 2020, in the films “All Day and a Night” and Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7.” His year was highlighted with the Emmy for Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his acclaimed performance as Dr. Manhattan in HBO’s lauded series “Watchmen.” And while Billie Eilish is a sensation, it’s time her brother, Finneas, is also celebrated. She won five honors at the Grammy Awards earlier this year, including album of the year for “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” But
since Finneas produced, co-wrote and engineered that album, he walked away with six Grammys, one more than his sister. In a year when many people’s output slackened, Anya Taylor-Joy seemed to find another gear: She played a meddling British brat in “Emma,” a Russian mutant with teleportation powers in the latest “X-Men” film, and an American orphan who turns out to be a chess phenom who can checkmate grown men by the time she’s 8 in “The Queen’s Gambit.” Taylor-Joy said when she was a kid she dreamed of flying off to imaginary lands. “Now as an adult, I’m like, ‘I live in Narnia.’ Like, this is amazing.” In a year like 2020, it was appropriate that millions escaped with her.

NEW YORK (AP) — Two weekday football games were enough to lift Fox to victory in the weekly ratings race. The network’s coverage of Tuesday’s game between Dallas and Baltimore, and Thursday’s New England-L.A. Rams matchup took up their entire prime-time schedules for the nights. The Nielsen company said CBS’ “60 Minutes” was the mostwatched non-football program for the week. The venerable drama “NCIS” was the most popular entertainment program.

described as perhaps the most widespread grassroots campaign ever waged to save an imperiled animal. Since 2014, when environmental groups petitioned to list the monarch, school groups, garden
clubs, government agencies and others around the nation have restored about 5.6 million acres (nearly 2.3 million hectares) of milkweed plants on which monarchs depend, Wooley said. They lay eggs on the leaves, which caterpillars eat, while adults gather nectar from the flowers. The volunteer effort “has been
phenomenal to see,” he said. “It has made a difference in the longterm survival of monarchs and helped other pollinators that are potentially in trouble.” But advocacy groups say it has compensated for only a small fraction of the estimated 165 million acres (67 million hectares) of monarch habitat — an area the

size of Texas — lost in the past 20 years to development or herbicide applications in cropland. “Monarchs are too important for us to just plant flowers on roadsides and hope for the best,” said Tierra Curry, a senior scientist at the Center for Biological Diversity. “They need the comprehensive protection that comes only from the Endangered Species Act, which would save them and so many other beleaguered pollinators that share their habitat.” The monarch’s plight is part of what the United Nations describes as a worldwide crisis threatening 1 million species — one of every eight on Earth — with extinction because of climate change, development and pollution. Even so, the Trump administra-
tion has listed only 25 species — fewer than any since the act took effect in 1973. The Obama administration added 360. Trump’s team also has weakened protections for endangered and threatened species in its push for deregulation. Among other changes, it limited consideration of climate change’s effects on animals when evaluating whether they should be listed. Global warming is one of the biggest dangers to the monarch. It contributes to lengthening droughts and worsening storms that kill many during their annual migration. About 90% of the world’s monarchs live in North America.

the size of the areas they occupy in Mexico and California, where they cluster during winter after flying thousands of miles from as far away as Canada. The Fish and Wildlife Service estimates the larger eastern population declined from about 384 million in 1996 to a low of 14 million in 2013 before rebounding somewhat, reaching about 60 million last year. But the California-based western group dropped from about 1.2 million in 1997 to fewer than 30,000 in 2019. Preliminary survey results this fall have turned up only about 2,000, said Lori Nordstrom, the Fish and Wildlife Service’s assistant regional director. While such grim prospects qualify the monarch for listing, officials said the law allows delays when the agency has limited resources
and must focus on higher-priority cases under consideration. Species ahead in line might be worse off, or courts might have set deadlines for decisions on them. The Great Lakes office, which is handling the monarch case, is considering nine others with higher-priority status. They include the little brown bat, the plains spotted skunk, the Illinois chorus frog, the golden-winged warbler, Blanding’s turtle, the Mammoth Springs crayfish, two freshwater mussels and a plant called Hall’s bulrush. Advocacy groups said 47 species have gone extinct waiting to be listed. “Protection for monarchs is needed — and warranted — now,” said George Kimbrell, legal director for the Center for Food Safety. “The Biden administration must follow the law and science and protect them.” Also this week, the Fish and Wildlife Service said the northern spotted owl, listed as threatened
in 1990, has declined enough since then to justify downgrading to “endangered” — or in peril of extinction. But it also was placed
behind higher-priority cases. Nordstrom said the timing of the announcements about the monarch and the spotted owl was

Negotiators report progress on 417-527-7500 143 First St. Hollister, Mo Residential & Commercial
long-delayed COVID aid bill
By Andrew Taylor WASHINGTON (AP) — Top Capitol Hill Republicans labored Tuesday to keep the price tag for a long-delayed COVID-19 aid package in check, seeking to prevail in a battle over help for state and local governments, while capping the cost of bonus jobless benefits and direct payments sought by Democrats. Negotiations on COVID-19 relief intensified Tuesday after months of futility. The top four leaders of Congress met twice in hopes of finally cementing an agreement that would revive subsidies for businesses hit hard by the pandemic, help distribute new coronavirus vaccines, fund schools and renew soon-to-expire jobless benefits. After two meetings in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Capitol suite, where Democrats pressed for more generous steps to help individuals struggling in the
COVID-19 economy, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., gave an upbeat assessment. “I think we’ve built a lot of trust,” McCarthy said. “I think we’re moving in the right direction. I think there’s a possibility of getting it done.” The uptick in activity could be a sign that an agreement is near, though COVID-19 relief talks have been notoriously difficult. “We’re making significant progress and I’m optimistic that we’re gonna be able to complete an understanding sometime soon,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Pressure for a deal is intense. Unemployment benefits run out Dec. 26 for more than 10 million people, many businesses are barely hanging on after nine months of the pandemic, and money is SEE PROGRESS, PAGE 23

needed to distribute new vaccines that are finally offering hope for returning the country to normal. McConnell is playing a strong hand in the lame-duck session and is pressuring Democrats to drop a much-sought $160 billion state and local government aid package. Several senior Democrats, including close allies of President-elect Joe Biden — who is eager for an agreement — have said they would go along now and fight for the aid next year. McConnell says he’ll drop a demand for provisions shielding businesses from COVID-19-related lawsuits, a key priority, if Democrats agree to drop the $160 billion state and local aid package. “We can live to fight another day on what we disagree on,” McConnell said Tuesday. “But we ought to go forward with what we can agree on.” Pelosi has insisted for months that state and local aid would be in any final bill, but as time is running out, Democrats appear unwilling to hold the rest of the package hostage over the demand. “We’re not going home until this is done,” Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said on CNN Tuesday morning. “We’ve got to get people a lifeline.” Manchin is an architect of a bipartisan $748 billion aid package that is aimed at serving as a template for the leadership talks. President Donald Trump’s chief negotiator, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, supports a package with many similar elements. There is also bipartisan support for transportation and transit assistance, funding for rural internet service and help for the Postal Service, among other provisions. A Republican familiar with the talks said the biggest obstacles include money for state and local governments; how to handle direct payments favored by Trump and Democrats but opposed by many GOP conservatives; and the res-
toration of a bonus jobless benefit of $300 or so per week that would supplement regular state unemployment benefits. The Republican required anonymity because the talks are secret. Lawmakers also worked to finalize a yearend catchall funding package that will be the basis for the last significant legislation of the Trump presidency. There’s a hoped-for deadline of midnight Friday to deliver the completed package to Trump. That is when a partial government shutdown would arrive with the expiration of last week’s temporary funding bill. But there’s no guarantee that the massive yearend measure will be completed in time. If the talks drag, further tem-
porary bills could be needed. Negotiations on the $1.4 trillion catchall spending bill are “essentially finished,” said a congressional aide participating in the talks. While details are closely held, “the status quo is prevailing.” That means Trump would get another $1.4 billion or so for a final installment to continue construction of his long-sought U.S.-Mexico border wall. Republicans have succeeded in killing a $12 billion plan to break last year’s budget mini-agreement by using accounting maneuvers to pad veterans health care funding to accommodate big cost increases from expanding access to health care services from private SEE PROGRESS, PAGE 24

Did everyone pull through Branson Blizzard 2020?? By Daryl Weather, Weather Forecaster I had various snow totals come in from around the area. These ranged From 1 to 5 inches. At our office we recorded 2.75 inches. Now to look at what we can expect for our upcoming days.
A warming trend is expected today-Friday with a sharp upper level ridge moving through Tomorrow night/early Friday. Gusty south winds are expected Friday with highs getting back up into the 50s. A progressive pattern will continue with another Pacific
basedshortwave moving through by late Fri night/Saturday. That willsupport a frontal passage, but with limited moisture to work with we aren`t expecting much rain. Mild/dry weather is expected early next week with mid latitude upper level westerlies over the northern tier of the U.S. keep-
ing cold/Canadian air at bay for now. But this is several days out and is something I will keep an eye on. I’ll take another look into our weekend again in our Friday edition. Until then, stay safe friends!

providers. Instead, a different set of moves is being employed to provide for equivalent spending increases for other domestic programs. The post-election lame-duck session is the last chance to wrap up the unfinished work this year, a goal of all involved, though they have been slow until now to forge
the often-tricky compromises required to pull the measure together. A state and local aid package was part of the almost $2 trillion CARES Act that passed the Senate unanimously in March. The $150 billion aid package to states and large cities evoked little controversy then, but many Republicans are adamantly against the idea now, though any additional aid would also go to smaller municipalities left out of the prior round.

Sensical to launch age-appropriate streamed content for kids
By Jonathan Landrum Jr. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Common Sense Networks will launch a new streaming platform dedicated to kids with age-appropriate content. The media company announced Tuesday that the free streaming platform called Sensical is expected to launch next year. The platform will offer thousands of vetted short-form videos for children ages 2 to 12. Sensical will launch with 15,000 short-form videos and add thousands to the library monthly after the platform goes live. Every frame of each video will be viewed and rated by individuals trained in child development. The company’s mission is to create a new standard in children’s digital media and evaluate content based on the most comprehensive child development research available. Some of the titles from digital creators include “Bounce Patrol,” “Mother Goose Club,” “Super Simple Songs” and “StacyPlays.” The library of content will be organized in three categories: Preschoolers (2-4), little kids (5-7) and big kids (8-12). “Sensical’s mission is to ignite kids’ passions, fuel curiosity, build bridges between children and their parents and make everyone part

of the learning journey,” said Eric Berger, CEO of Common Sense Networks. He wants Sensical’s video selecting process to give parents a “real peace of mind” through the ad-supported service. “By leading with our age-appropriate, passion-based approach, we take the guesswork out of the equation and by doing so, raise the bar not just for Sensical, but also for the industry at large,” Berger said. The media company is a for-profit affiliate of the nonprofit Common Sense Media. “We believe there is a meaningful opportunity for Sensical to fill a massive void in the current ecosystem and for Common Sense Networks to innovate in the space for the long-term benefit of kids and families,” said Jim Steyer, founder and CEO of Common Sense Media.
