First Responders honored at appreciation dinner

By CINDY THOMAS, Staff Writer Firefighters from fire departments across Taney County and emergency services personnel from the Taney County Ambulance District were honored with an appreciation banquet on May 19. The fun-filled night of entertainment, food and prizes was held at the Lake Taneycomo Elks Lodge in Forsyth and sponsored by the Taney County 100 Club, the Forsyth Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Elks Lodge #2597.

The groups sponsored an appreciation banquet for area law enforcement earlier this year.

According to a representative of the Taney County 100 Club, the dinners are simply a way to show thanks for the work all these first responders do every single day of the year, which too often goes unrecognized until it is desperately needed.

At the May dinner, over 50 area donors helped ensure every first responder in attendance was given a prize. Photos were also provided for each honoree and his or her guest.

Emcee for the evening was Branson Police Chief Jeff Matthews. Popular Branson comediSEE FIRST RESPONDERS, PAGE 8

Ozark

Mountain

By CINDY THOMAS, Staff Writer Sounds of bluegrass music mingled with voices and laughter as young musicians and their sponsors and instructors gathered for another successful Ozark Mountain Music Association Youth Bluegrass Music Camp.

From June 7 to 11, the Michel family’s Weddings & Events at the Homestead venue hosted the annual camp sponsored by OMMA, Southern Missouri Arts Connection, and the Society of Ozarkian Hillcrofters.

The week included individual and group instruction on guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin and bass, plus band coaching, jam sessions each evening, and square dancing, along with time for fun and games, fellowship, and of course, plenty of good food.

Fifty-five youth ages 10 to 18 attended this year’s camp, which continues to grow each year. Some attendees already perform as established bands, and several competed in the recent youth bluegrass competition held at Silver Dollar City.

Campers also include individual students at all levels of expertise on their instruments, placed in bands to learn vocal technique including harmonization, complementary instrumental technique, and stage presence as a group. The Saturday evening finale featured 11 bands in performance.

Several locally and nationally prominent musicians make time in their schedules each year to teach at the camp because they believe strongly in continuing the legacy of traditional music with a younger generation. One of those is Stephen Mougin, Nashville songwriter and musician, who performs with the Sam Bush Band and also operates Dark Shadow Recording. Mougin learned to appreciate bluegrass music at an early age and after a few years as a public school choir teacher, moved to Nashville to pursue his love of the genre.

“The cornerstone of bluegrass is the authenticity of the stories the songs tell,” stated Mougin. “Every young person can relate to the experiences, imagine themselves in a similar place, and learn the core values of honest living and respect

Music

for others that come through in this traditional music.” Mougin also spoke to the importance of arts and humanities in schools. “If you think about what you’re likely to keep doing as an adult,” he said, “those are the skills that don’t have an expiration date.” Mougin and others commented on the welcome sight of kids not spending time on their phones and other technology as they engaged in music and enjoyed the lovely outdoor setting of the Homestead venue. He also expressed appreciation for older musicians and band members who took time to

show him new skills and encourage him as a young person, the very thing he and other instructors now see value in doing at camp.

Vocal instructor Kari Garrison, who sings with Clay Cooper’s Country Express in Branson, echoed Mougin’s comments about passing on the legacy. “I was fortunate to grow up around bluegrass,” she said. “I’m so excited to help carry on the tradition through these camps.” Other instructors are former campers who went on to pursue college degrees and careers in music.

retarded mentally. He seemed to catch on quickly once we started working with him and allowing him to play with the toys we had purchased for the children.

It is good to give a child many experiences because it helps to develop understanding of the world.

As the child comes in contact with others, s/he develops a greater understanding of emotions of people.

Experiences also show children job requirements people must meet in order to be self-supporting.

Every new experience introduces new vocabulary to a child.

We tend to block out the things we don’t understand and “latch on” to the things that are familiar to us. Many times students in my GED classes have told me, “I have

never heard that word before!” In actuality, it may be a word that is commonly used in conversations.

They had simply blocked it out because they didn’t understand it. When a child has many experiences, the vocabulary obtained from those experiences becomes familiar and is no longer blocked out. The child then not only has a better understanding of what is read, but also better understands conversations that are going on all the time.

What kind of experiences can we give our children? Visiting national parks is perhaps one of the best. Right now, Civil War reenactments may be taking place at some parks. When our children were young, my husband had a habit SEE TRAIN UP, PAGE 8

in reading. Of course, it is important to choose the right kind of experiences.

When my husband and I worked on the Navajo reservation, we had a little boy who had many social problems. He could do practically nothing in school. He was frightened and kept running away from the dormitory and school. He was sent to Phoenix to see a psychiatrist. The problem was that the boy had lived with his deaf grandmother most of his life and spent most of his time herding sheep. He had no one to talk to and no experiences other than sheep-herding.

This is an extreme example of a child who needed experiences. He was frightened because he knew nothing about other children or the world around him. He was not

haki pants, a plain light blue shirt, and a navy blue jacket are what I want to wear every day, but my cute wife says I need to mix it up a bit. She buys me patterned dress shirts and weird lined sports coats. I put on an ugly patterned shirt and an ugly jacket only to get the ‘stink eye’ from her. She says, “You can’t have patterns going in different directions.” I go change and wonder why she won’t just buy me tan pants and blue shirts.

Her opinion about patterns going in different directions is sort of like the stagflation I’m hearing tossed around by analysts lately.

Every morning I read analyst and research reports about the market. Some I would consider pessimists, and some are overly optimistic for balance.

OPINION

Reflections: Just waiting to be asked

BY CINDY THOMAS Staff Writer

A

t conferences and work training sessions through the years, and even in some college classes, I’ve heard the advice, “The only stupid question is the one you don’t ask.”

That advice actually lines up with the Bible. In the New Testament, James 1:5 tells us, “If any

of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given him (NKJV).” Wisdom is defined by Merriam Webster as “ability to discern inner qualities and relationships,” or a “wise attitude, belief, or course of action.” In many contexts, wisdom reflects age, experience, or disciplined study.

The importance of wisdom is found throughout the Bible, particularly in the Proverbs, many written by King Solomon. Proverbs 4:7 says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom, and in all your getting, get understanding.” Other verses cite wisdom as necessary for success

and and attribute wisdom ultimately to God, shown throughout creation, although biblical examples abound of those who gained wisdom the hard way, through experience. As the earthly brother of Jesus, James likely shared the experience perspective, since the Gospels record that Jesus’ brothers were initially a bit uncertain about his ministry.

My favorite part of James 1:5, though, is the phrase “without reproach.” Sometimes I’m almost hesitant to bother God, feeling guilty for not already knowing something or pursuing a wrong course of action in spite of seeing it fail for someone else. Worst of all is repeating a mistake I have

already made! Sometimes we’re already knee-deep in consequences when we remember to ask God for wisdom, yet he’s still glad to hear us ask!

Obviously, the earlier we ask God, the better. He knows the path we should take, and if we seek him, he guides us. Sometimes guidance comes through godly advice from a trusted friend; sometimes a Bible story will resonate with our situation; sometimes there’s just that little prompting from the Holy Spirit when something does or doesn’t feel right. If we neglect to ask, or ignore his prompting, wrong decisions do have consequences— also a biblical concept. But I’m so thankful God doesn’t go back and

say, “I told you so,” or “Sorry, can’t help you now; you’re too messed up.” He’s just waiting to be asked, and when we do, he is willing to step into the middle of our mess and give us the wisdom we need going forward.

One more caution from the James passage, though. Verses 6 through 8 tell us to ask in faith, not doubting that we will receive the wisdom we seek. That faith is developed through daily spending time with God, reading his Word, allowing it to show us his character and convict us of sinful habits we need to leave behind.

The more we do that, the more we can understand that when it comes to wisdom, God is just waiting to be asked!

tateoftheOzarks’ Writers Artists Night 2022 begins at 6 p.m. this Saturday, June 18, at the Chad A. Fuqua City Park in down-

town Hollister, Missouri. The event is free and you are invited. Bring lawn chairs and bug spray.

Writers Artists Night is our longest-running event, having started on the small Vintage Paris coffee shop courtyard in 2015. This is our ninth night of writers and artists sharing their hearts. We moved to the park in 2020 for the beautiful stone stage embraced by forest as well as an oft-welcomed breeze from down the spring branch hollow.

As we prepare for Saturday night, I’m still in awe. Some of the Ozarks’ best writers and artists will take the

stage to pour out their hearts, perhaps strengthened by the big stone columns backlit by stage lights or inspired by the waxing gibbous of a moon looking down. There is only one night like this in the year and Writers Artists Night is special precisely because of that impermanence.

We live in an on-demand world in which all we could want is either available out of a big store or deliverable to our door in less than a day.

Unconsciously, unknowingly, we succumb to self-entitlement: Anything and everything appears within our grasp.

Writers Artists Night changes all that. The night is intimate, poised on emotion, waiting for the next moment. Much like a delicate flower, once the event has bloomed, it’s all gone for another year.

After hosting the 2021 event, I stood for a moment backstage, studying a nighttime forest awash in the florescent glow of the security lights. Honeysuckle and wild fox grapes reached into the light, swaying delicately in what little was left of the near-midnight breeze.

hile I used to be quite the doer and go-getter, something inside of me has begun to despise all of that. Not

that it was bad. To try to put a complex situation into simplest terms, I’ve become aware that the desire to DO was (and probably always has been) overshadowing and even swallowing up the need to just BE. It has taken moments of feeling like the rug was being pulled out from under me, and then some other times where the entire floor disappeared, to come to this point of God-ordained realization. To come to the point where I’m sick of organizing means to ends; sick of always prepar-

ing for the next big thing. All the while God has been gently whispering to my spirit that this very moment IS the big thing.

That my life is to be more about divine appointments and less about making them.

Some people are wired for doing. But when the doing is done as a means of filling a need for self-worth, you’ll always come up burnt out and empty. This has been an endless cycle for me. I don’t fit the mold of our busy society and never have, and I believe God wants to get it through

my head that that’s perfectly ok with Him. He made me that way.

While everyone is upgrading to the newest device and uploading more gigabytes, I’m thinking about flowers and butterflies.

While everyone is going to the next big social event, I’d rather be at home reading a book. Yes, sacrifice is an inevitable part of life, but if you are sacrificing the person God loves and made you to be in the process, then your efforts are futile.

We are taught to live by the cliche, “Be the best you can be,”

mind. “Time to get out of these cowboy boots,” said a more pressing voice.

“Consider the grape leaves,” whispered something of the artist still deep inside. “Celestial in the light, so fragile, so tiny… but a thousand years from now, I think there’ll still be grape leaves unfurling beneath a summer’s moon.”

In the end, that’s what our art is — tiny green tendrils in a world gone gray. But those green tendrils are far stronger than we may imagine.

Those grape leaves in the dark.

while measuring ourselves by comparisons. Comparing yourself to others will always give you a skewed plumb line. All the while, God’s desire for his dearly loved child is for you to be the best YOU, you can be. Anything else is denying Him the opportunity to admire His unique creation, and it is denying you your true purpose.

The “doing” will come. But the “doing” in itself won’t be a means to an end. It will be the real, natural, raw, passionate overflow of a spirit that is confidently and completely His.

dropping making for a challenging environment for most investments. But I see some positives, too.

U.S. stock valuations were too high but are back to their 25year average, and S&P 500 2023 earnings estimates are up 2.5% this year. China is opening back up, supply chains are improving, shipping rates and fertilizer prices have both peaked and turned lower. Things aren’t perfect, but I don’t see a repeat of the 1970s

especially since unemployment is so low.

Another analyst I follow is LPL’s Ryan Detrick, who said “The economy is indeed slowing, but it isn’t headed for a recession any time soon in our view.

Think about this: This would be the first recession ever to have record earnings and a booming jobs market.”

Some companies such as Target, Walmart and Microsoft had lower earnings than expected.

Yet, the earnings per share for the S&P 500 as a whole is still

estimated to be up 10% in 2022 even after a weak first half according to LPL Research.

El-Erian went on to say, “It might be time for stock market investors to take some risk off the table.” I might add that I think in times with mixed messages it would be good for investors to evaluate their investment risk level. It’s difficult investing right now but this is when financial/wealth advisors earn their pay.

I think the ‘70s had some pretty dumb patterned clothes I wouldn’t wear either.

A lively conductor guides the kids through the fun-filled, free-play area of Chuggington. The conductor encourages their participation in activities such as “follow

the leader,” “chug forwards,” and “dance party.” They can dance with their Chugger friends Brewster, Koko, and Wilson and visit their favorite Chuggington spots like The Repair Shed, The Roundhouse, and The Ice Cream Factory.

The other major production for Kids Fest features Nik Wallenda, “King of the High-Wire.” He’s returning to Silver Dollar City about

ten years after his “Iron Jaw” record-breaking feat of dangling by his jaw from a helicopter 200 feet above Silver Dollar City. In the interim, he has also accomplished other daring feats, such as being the first person to walk a tightrope over Niagara Falls and tightrope walking across the Grand Canyon.

Nik and his family will be displaying their unique and diverse talents as they perform in “Nik Wallenda’s Zirkus.” “Zirkus” is their native German language for ‘circus.’ Nik Wallenda’s Zirkus was created exclusively for Silver Dollar City. It features dangerous high-wire acts, aerial stunts,

and trick bicycling. The theme of Zircus is “The impossible can be achieved,” and they want to inspire guests with the message, “It’s possible to do anything if you put your mind to it.”

In addition to the fun and excitement of Kids Fest, you can have more fun with 40 rides and attractions. These include Outlaw Run, 2015Guinness World Record breaker for steepest wooden coaster drop; Time Traveler, America’s fastest, steepest, highest spinning coaster; and Mystic Falls, which has the tallest drop from a raft ride in the Western Hemisphere. Children and families alike will enjoy learning from craftsmen who demonstrate their crafts throughout the park. Silver Dollar City’s delicious home-style foods and famous specialties like skillet meals, cinnamon rolls, woodfired pizza, and more are available for guests to enjoy.

• DAN LENNON

Continued from page 1

keting at The Welk Resort before moving over to the Branson Lakes Area CVB, where he was the Vice President of Marketing, developing creative ways to entice more people to visit Branson. Lennon was later recruited by the State of Missouri, and served as part of the Missouri Division of Tourism for five years, marketing not only Branson but the entire state.

In a Facebook post, Dan’s brother Bill Lennon said, in part, “Brother Dan passed away yesterday. One of the most beautiful humans to ever grace this planet. His heart failed him. It never failed anyone else. Son, brother, cousin, Pop Warner football legend, All-Star Little League pitcher, high school All-City Quarterback in Los Angeles, surfer, hippie; at 19 years old, he tragically became the head of the family, graduate with honors from UCLA, hard-working wood finisher, rocket engineer, mad scientist, actor, straight man. . .but probably the funniest of all of us, husband, father, uncle, rhythm guitarist extraordinaire, writer extraordinaire. . . at any occasion he could make us cry and laugh and make us aware of how precious life is. Singer from the heart. Oh, how he shined on stage! Accomplished marketing executive in the real world, long-time partner,

buddy, and so much more.”

SueAnn O’Neal Clark noted, “I met Dan Lennon the same day as I met Richard Clark (who would later become my husband).

We were all at the Radisson for the celebrity fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, May 14, 1994. Taking part in community in the new town would be something that would prove to be important and as opportunity came with a booming town, giving back to others would seem the most important. I worked with Dan on the first Veterans Task Force. And, what an exciting time for all of us catching the passion for Veterans, as Tony Orlando had shown us the previous year! It was a wonderful time to be a part of something good in Branson.

My prayers and heartfelt condolences for all of Dan’s family and friends.”

Said entertainer Doug Gabriel, “Dan Lennon was a gem of a man. He was always so kind to

everyone and did much to help Branson. He could sing and entertain with the best of them, and I was honored to call him my friend. My heart breaks for his family, and I pray God will bring them peace during this very difficult time. RIP Dan Lennon, as you will be missed.”

Former co-worker Mary Jane Rice noted, “When I worked with Dan at the Chamber/CVB, he had some fans that were coming by to pick up some music from The Lennon Brothers and Gail Show.

When he came flying down the stairs from his office, he had a CD or two for his friends. They said, ‘Oh, we only have a cassette player in our vehicle!’ ‘No problem,’ he said. Dan told them to wait right there in the lobby and he ran out the door, jumped in his old Blazer and drove to his house not that far away, to come back in about 15 minutes with some cassette tapes for his friends. That’s the kind of guy he was. He would

do anything to help you. Loved that amazing man!”

Mary Gillespie Slivka added, “Privileged to have him for my boss at the Branson Chamber.

The Lennon Brothers was the first show my Ricky and I saw when coming to Branson. Had to get their CD. Who would know he’d be my boss. So sweet. Many prayers for his family!”

Branson entertainer and radio personality Jim Barber posted online, “So sad to hear that Dan Lennon passed away. He was more than a friend to my family; he was an inspiration to me in many ways. My sincere sympathy and condolences to the entire Lennon family.”

Sue Alkire, former owner of America’s Best Campground shared, “Dan was one of the first

JUNE 17, 2022 • 13

people we met when we purchased ABC. I worked with him on committees with the Chamber.

He was always kind, compassionate and inclusive with me, even though I was a ‘newbie.’ He had a tremendous heart for Branson and its people, and it was apparent in everything he did. Our worldly loss is heaven’s gain. Prayers for Dan’s friends and family.``

Model railroad enthusiasm at

By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer Over 60 model railroad enthusiasts visited the Roark Valley Model Railroad Club for an open house on June 10 and 11. Other visitors to the World’s Largest Toy Museum dropped by the club room, located on the Museum’s lower level, to check out the fun as well.

The open house featured six layouts with at least 12 trains running. Layouts included an N-scale circus train; a 4-module HO-scale Santa’s Circus and Carnival with

Reader’s Corner: Taneyhills Library director speaks at Forsyth Chamber luncheon

By CINDY THOMAS, Staff Writer Taneyhills Library Director Marcia Schemper-Carlock was the featured speaker at the monthly Forsyth Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon, held Tuesday, June 14, at the Lakeside Event Center. Her presentation gave valuable perspective about

the many services offered by the Library and the importance of supporting area libraries.

Schemper-Carlock began with a brief history of Taneyhills Library, started in 1933 by members of the Branson Presbyterian Church who felt it was important to be well-read in order to teach

Sunday school. The library acquired its current building in 1976 and has a full-time manager and four part-time employees, including a manager for its retail thrift shop and used book store.

Income from those shops, plus some grant funding, a small annual membership fee, and the efforts of over 90 volunteers, are key to the many services at Taneyhills, since Taney County is one of only four counties in Missouri without a tax-funded public library. Over 4,000 members made use of over 100,000 circulation items last year.

Families with children are among the most frequent users, enjoying an inviting area beautifully redecorated by Terry Chase of Cedarcreek. Children’s programs include Reading A to Z; Thursday Story Time with Miss

Debi; a Saturday Milk & Cookies program, and the Summer Reading Program currently in progress.

Library users vary in their reasons for coming, said Schemper-Carlock. Some are just hanging out, including an Uber driver who waits there between appointments while enjoying the Wall Street Journal or the puzzle table. Even tourists stop by, sometimes when a rainy day delays outdoor plans, to enjoy the children’s room or browse the shops. Other people are working, using the tech room or team room; some are using technology—WiFi, copy/fax/scanning services, in-house computers at just $1 an hour, and the popular coin-operated printer which allows users to easily print documents from their phone or tablet.

Also popular are the library’s

learning programs, including such classes as computer basics, internet security, crochet, garden plants, and a women’s book club. A chess class currently is at capacity with a waiting list, and party bridge and cribbage are planned for the near future. Visit www.taneyhillscommunitylibrary.org to learn more.

Forsyth Community Library is another Taney County library that does not receive taxpayer funds. Chamber member Roxane Amundsen shared the story of Mary Wolfe, the only remaining member of the original founding board, who moved to the area from England in 1967 and was shocked to find there was no library. Early board members included retirees who invested heavily into the library as donors and volunteers, but the number of volunteers has dwindled, particularly with the COVID-19 pandemic. Like Taneyhills, the Forsyth library depends on retail thrift shop sales in order to keep updated circulation offerings and programs such as the Summer Reading Program currently in progress. Volunteers are always needed for the thrift shop and to assist with library operations. Visit the Forsyth Library Facebook page for updates.

Meet the ‘Queen of the Hillbillies’ at the Branson Centennial Museum

May Kennedy McCord was one of the 20th century’s preeminent forklorists with a keen understanding of the Ozarks.

Many are not familiar with May Kennedy McCord (1880-1979) who was considered royalty in the Ozarks. Her talent for encouraging and connecting the people of this region as she shared and celebrated the uniqueness of the area helped preserve its history and cul-

ture. The public is invited to meet the “Queen of the Hillbillies,” during a free Tuesday Talk at the Branson Centennial Museum on June 21, 2022 at 12:30 p.m.

Presenters are Patti McCord and Kristene Sutliff, editors of the first published collection of work by May Kennedy McCord, an Ozarks expert who spent fifty years sharing the stories and songs of the region through newspaper columns, radio programs and music festivals. Her first piece of writing was published in 1924 when she was 43 years old and by the 1950s, she had become widely known as the musician, folksinger, storyteller and on-air personality of “Hillbilly Heartbeats” a popular KWTO radio show broadcast from Springfield, Missouri.

“At the time, she was probably much better known than the peo-

ple whose names are remembered now,” says Patti McCord McDonald, McCord’s granddaughter, who worked with Dr. Kristene Stuliff to publish the new compilation that also includes some previously unpublished work by her grandmother. “I think that was why I felt her work needed to be retained, so she, too, can be remembered.”

It has been reported that at a young age, May Kennedy McCord

learned to play guitar from her mother and began collecting folk songs from locals throughout the Ozarks. By 15 she was performing locally and preserving the songs’ words and music in writing. More than 100 of her ballad recordings have been filed in the Library of Congress that otherwise may have been lost if not for her passion for collecting and documenting the songs. Attendees at the June 21

S u m m e r swim safety

‘Tis the season for lake activities and dock safety. One of the most dangerous aspects of docks with electricity is the possibility of Electrical Shock Drowning (ESD). Drowning occurs when the muscles seize up due to the presence of electricity and incapacitate or electrocute a swimmer in the water. Every boater and every adult who swims in a freshwater lake needs to understand how it happens and what to do- and NOT to do - if they ever have to help an ESD victim.

Electrical Shock Drowning happens in fresh water where tiny amounts of electricity are present. This can be electrical current that ‘leaks’ into the water from boats or dock power. It only takes about 3 milliamps (which is a very minimal amount of power) to cause a tingling sensation, which is a HUGE warning sign. When electricity flows directly through the human body, even a small amount can interfere with the function of nerves and muscles. Here are the do’s and don’ts that every swimmer, boater, or lake enthusiast should be aware of:

By STEPHANIE BARNEY, Owner/ Lightspeed Electrical If you are in the water and you feel tingling or shocks: • DO NOT swim toward the dock!

• ALERT other swimmers in the area of the danger.

• Go back the way you came and head for shore 100 yards or more from the dock.

• Tell the dock owner to shut the power off to the dock until they locate the problem and correct it.

• Go to the hospital to make sure there are no lingering effects that could be dangerous.

If someone in the water needs help: • DO NOT enter the water!

Remember to reach, throw, row, but don’t go.

• Call for help.

• Get the victim out of the water. If they are not breathing, perform CPR until a first responder arrives.

• Turn off the shore power connection at the meter base and/or unplug shore power cords.

Over 230 people, plus children admitted free with an adult, enjoyed tours of the gardens at the historic home where O’Neill, creator of the famous Kewpies and a key figure in the women’s suffrage movement, stayed while visiting Ozarks family and lived full-time in retirement. The gardens and forest paths, now carefully tended by area Master Gardeners, were on glorious display. One guest commented, “There is so much beauty and so much to see, I can’t even take it all in!”

As lovely as the grounds and gardens were, there was also

more to enjoy. Musicians Abbey Waterworth, Abigail Brower, Alison Neal, Dave Powell, Dr. Larkin Sanders, Heather Plybon, Mary Kay Moore, and Tonya Lewis filled the air with music, ranging from ‘60s and ‘70s guitar stylings to harp and clarinet by Taneycomo Festival Orchestra members.

Artists on hand to present their work along the sidewalks and forest paths included Meike Aton, Mary Arneson, Jenny Judlin, and Robert Staley.

Vendors included By the Front Door, Bratton House Antiques, JK Leather, KD Gardens, Laser Lady, Master Gardeners Marketplace and plant sale, the Flower Farm, and Wildcat Hollow Basketworks. Bella Ella’s Food Truck was available for lunch and snacks, and Master Gardeners educated attendees about the gardens as well as the history of Rose O’Neill. Visit the Bonnie-

Dino Days at the IMAX was fun for all ages

By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer Dinosaurs roamed free at the Branson IMAX Entertainment Complex over the weekend, as the complex hosted Dino Days.

Kids of all ages – and adults – were mesmerized as the Branson IMAX was transformed into a dinosaur extravaganza. On display were movie props, costumes and

custom vehicles on loan from the Jurassic Park Motor Pool and used in the Jurassic Park movies. Those in attendance also enjoyed a large dinosaur display, authentic dinosaur fossils and family-friendly activities, such as games, puzzles, balloon animals and face painting.

The IMAX Complex’s second ever Dino Days was held in con-

junction with the opening of Jurassic: World Dominion.

Dino Days events were sponsored by the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, Dino Encounters, Rocky’s Retreat at Table Rock Lake, The Velvet Collection, Celebrity Car Museum, Prehistoric Fossils, the Dinosaur Museum, Magical Stories and More, and the Branson IMAX Entertainment Complex.

Submitted to Branson Globe Mayor Larry Milton wishes to express his sincere condolences on behalf of himself, his colleagues on the board of aldermen and the City of Branson, to the family of Dan Lennon who has passed away.

Lennon, along with the Lennon Family, made their way to Branson in the ‘90s as part of the launch of the Lawrence Welk Theater. He was a part of the Lennon Brothers and Gail Lennon Show and began working in marketing when he cut down on his on-stage performances.

“Dan and his family have always understood what makes Branson so special. He was dedicated to helping other people discover our wonderful commu-

nity and for that, I will forever be grateful,” said Mayor Milton.

“The Lennon family has been an integral part of what makes our town unique for over 30 years and Dan has contributed greatly to our tourism, industry and way of life. His presence will be missed, and his family will be in my prayers during this difficult time,” Milton said.

Lennon started in Marketing at the Branson Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce before eventually becoming the State of Missouri Director of the Division of Tourism, a position he held for three years until his retirement in 2018.

College of the Ozarks radio station, KCOZ, honored at Missouri Broadcasters Association Awards Banquet Submitted to Branson Globe On June 11, 2022, students from the campus radio station, KCOZ, received recognition at the Missouri Broadcasters Association Awards Banquet held at the Lodge of Four Season in Lake of the Ozarks. More than 200 awards were presented to Missouri’s radio and TV stations during the MBA Awards ceremony, and nearly 900 submissions were received. KCOZ was nominated for three awards, of which it won three first place awards.

This year’s awards were in the following categories: First place in Video for Radio (Small Market Radio) for “KCOZ House,” which is produced by 2022 graduate Grant McNeill, senior criminal justice major. First place in Public Service Announcement (Small Market Radio) for “Local Hik-

ing & Walking Trails,” which is produced by Emily Shepherd, senior studio art: graphic design major. First place in Promotion (Small Market Radio) for “The New Year Rap,” which is produced by Elizabeth Phillips, junior allied health science major and Josten Hern, 2022 graduate.

This is KCOZ’s third consecutive year receiving first place awards at the MBA Awards Banquet. In 2021, KCOZ won one first place and one certificate of merit, and in 2020, KCOZ won two first place awards.

“I could not be prouder of our team,” said Josh Williams, KCOZ station manager. “When you consider the fact that we compete against professional radio stations all across the state, it really is quite an accomplishment for these students. I think what helps us to stand out competitively is our creativity

and standard of excellence that we hold ourselves to with each project we create. It’s always a great feeling when the hard work of our students gets recognized by professionals in the broadcast industry.”

KCOZ can be found locally at 91.7 FM, streamed through www.kcoz.live, or you can listen through the app by searching “KCOZ radio” in your app store.

Floods leave Yellowstone landscape ‘dramatically changed’ in just days

By Matthew Brown, Lindsay Whitehurst | AP News The forces of fire and ice shaped Yellowstone National Park over thousands of years. It took decades longer for humans to tame it enough for tourists to visit, often from the comfort of their cars.

In just days, heavy rain and

rapid snowmelt caused a dramatic flood that may forever alter the human footprint on the park’s terrain and the communities that have grown around it.

The historic floodwaters that raged through Yellowstone this week, tearing out bridges and pouring into nearby homes, pushed a popular fishing river off

course — possibly permanently — and may force roadways nearly torn away by torrents of water to be rebuilt in new places.

“The landscape literally and figuratively has changed dramatically in the last 36 hours,” said Bill Berg, a commissioner in nearby Park County. “A little bit ironic that this spectacular landscape was created by violent geologic and hydrologic events, and it’s just not very handy when it happens while we’re all here settled on it.”

The unprecedented flooding drove more than 10,000 visitors out of the nation’s oldest national park and damaged hundreds of homes in nearby communities, though remarkably no was reported hurt or killed. The only visitors left in the massive park straddling three states were a dozen campers still making their way out of the backcountry.

Dolly Parton gives $1M to infectious disease research, again apnews.com Dolly Parton is donating $1 million to pediatric infectious disease research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, the organization announced on Wednesday.

The new gift is one of several Parton has made to the center over the years, including a $1 million gift in April 2020 for COVID vaccine research. That gift helped Vanderbilt researchers test an array of drugs aimed at reducing the life-threatening symptoms associated with COVID-19, the center said in a news release. Researchers are also looking at entirely new therapies to both treat COVID-19 and prevent infection.

Parton’s new gift will support a variety of ongoing research at the medical center, including understanding how viruses and bacteria cause disease, understanding and preventing antibiotic resistance, preventing and treating infections, diagnosing and treating infections in children with cancer, and gauging the impact of childhood infections throughout the world, according to the news release.

“Dolly’s previous support to in-

Dolly Parton (AP FILE) fectious disease research, and also our pediatric cancer program, has already saved countless lives,” said Dr. Jeff Balser, president and CEO of Vanderbilt University Medical Center and dean of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. “This new gift will bolster our defenses against future threats to the safety of this region and society as a whole.”

Parton said she supports the work because she loves children.

“No child should ever have to suffer,” Parton said in a news release. “I’m willing to do my part to try and keep as many of them as I can as healthy and safe as possible.”

College of the Ozarks Chapel Choir performs at 39th annual Vietnam Helicopter Pilot Association Reunion

Chancellor Davis and his wife celebrate the Chapel Choir’s accomplishment with the “Hard Work U” hand symbol. (Special to Branson Globe)

Submitted to Branson Globe College of the Ozarks Chapel Choir traveled to Tampa, Florida, from May 25 - 29 to perform at the Vietnam Helicopter Pilot Association’s 39th Annual Reunion.

The students performed a mixture of worship and patriotic songs for the welcome reception and for the memorial service. In addition to singing for the Association, Conductor Gregg Busch, Assistant Professor of Music and Theater, gave students the opportunity to personally interact with veterans and learn about their stories.

“The time of personal interaction impacted not only the Veterans, but also the students who heard their stories. Students and Veterans alike were also deeply impacted by the singing performance as they honored all those who served in the Vietnam War,” Busch said.

The Vietnam Helicopter Pilot Association has assembled for 39 years in various locations within the United States to honor retired pilots who flew during the Vietnam Era (1961-1975), and those who paid the ultimate price for freedom while flying in Vietnam.

Sophomore psychology major Kutter Schulte recalled the atmosphere of thankfulness and joy in the hall as they performed.

“The veterans displayed unending thankfulness and gratitude to Mr. Busch, the accompanists, and the choir. The spirit clearly moved during our service which made the work of rehearsing all worth it!”

In addition to the time of song and fellowship, the choir also facilitated a moment of silence and a student-led prayer.

Busch used this time to “welcome home” the Veterans in

attendance and thank them for serving. Veterans were deeply moved by this welcome, as some recalled that they were never thanked or welcomed when they returned from war.

Sophomore Emily Lingenfelter, early childhood elementary education major, reflected on the experience: “My most memorable takeaway from the trip was getting closer to the other members of the choir. I enjoyed getting to make each other laugh and celebrate the good times as a choir community.”

Prior to the COVID pandemic, the Chapel Choir had taken several trips both within the United States and internationally to celebrate events of patriotic and Christian significance. Now that COVID restrictions are beginning to lift, Busch is eager to continue taking the choir to new venues to expand their performance experiences and solidify the members’ knowledge of the College of the Ozarks pillars.

Through local chapters and national conventions, the Association accomplishes its’ mission “To enhance and accredit the cohesiveness, esprit de corps, and traditions of valor of rotary wing aircrews that flew in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam Era.”

Is the crazy housing market finally correcting, or just at a turning point?

KeepingCurrentMatters.com If you’re following the news, all of the headlines about conditions in the current housing market may leave you with more questions than answers. Is the boom over? Is the market crashing or correcting?

Here’s what you need to know.

The housing market is moderating compared to the last two years, but what everyone needs to remember is that the past two years were record-breaking in nearly every way. Record-low mortgage rates and millennials reaching peak homebuying years led to an influx of buyer demand. At the same time, there weren’t enough homes available to purchase thanks to many years of underbuilding and sellers who held off on listing their homes due to the health crisis.

This combination led to record-high demand and record-low supply, and that wasn’t going to be sustainable for the long term. The latest data shows early signs of a shift back to the market pace seen in the years leading up to the pandemic – not a crash nor a correction. As realtor.com says: “The housing market is at a turning point. . . . We’re starting to see

signs of a new direction, . . .”

The ShowingTime Showing Index tracks the traffic of home showings according to agents and brokers. It’s a good indication of buyer demand.

The 2019 numbers give a good baseline of pre-pandemic demand, with the index ranging from 85 to 160. Home showings skyrocketed during the pandemic to a range of 156 to 285. And while current buyer demand has begun to moderate slightly based on the latest data, showings are still above 2019 levels, hovering in the 250s.

And since 2019 was such a strong year for the housing market, this helps show that the market isn’t crashing – it’s just at a turning point that’s moving back toward more pre-pandemic levels.

Headlines are also talking about how existing home sales are declining, but perspective matters.

Data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) tells a similar story. Home sales during the pandemic outpaced the more typical year of 2019 home sales by more than $1 million. And according to the latest projections for 2022, the market is on pace to close this year

with more home sales than 2019 as well.

The bottom line? If recent head-

lines are generating any concerns, look at a more typical year for perspective. The current market is

Pain at the pump: How to afford summer road trips amid high gas prices Apnews.com | Sally French of NerdWallet A summer road trip used to be a cost-effective, easy getaway.

This year, soaring gas prices and expensive rental cars might make you think twice about hitting the road.

According to the American Automobile Association, a federation of motor clubs throughout North America, the average gas price was $4.60 per gallon nationally before Memorial Day weekend. Some experts believe the national average might even top $5 this summer.

Plus, rental car prices hit record highs during the pandemic, up 38.6% in February 2022 versus February 2020, according to a NerdWallet analysis of U.S. Consumer Price Index inflation data.

But those roadblocks don’t necessarily mean you have to put the brakes on travel completely.

You might just have to shift your road trip plans. Here’s how.

Consider changing your destination.

If you’re open-minded about your vacation destination, consider driving through a region with below-average gas prices. On June 1, 10 states had average gas prices below $4.30 per gallon for regular grade gasoline, according

to AAA data.

Those states, ranked from cheapest to most expensive, were: 1. Georgia 2. Arkansas 3. Kansas 4. Mississippi 5. Oklahoma 6. Missouri 7. Louisiana 8. Nebraska 9. South Carolina 10. Texas Given how many of those states border each other, it’d be fairly easy to plan a road trip through the South or Midwest. You could start in St. Louis, and make the roughly four-hour drive on Interstate 70 across the state to Kansas City, Missouri. Make time for a pit stop in Columbia, which is a quintessential college town with the University of Missouri.

Boonville is another great stop,

where you can tour Warm Springs Ranch, home of the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales. (Walking tours start at $15.) From Kansas City, it’s about three hours on to Omaha, Nebraska, where you can try the allegedly original Reuben sandwich.

Be strategic about rental cars.

If you’re renting a car, understand that rental car prices can vary dramatically depending on the rental company, whether you’re renting from an airport location versus downtown, and how far in advance you book.

Speaking of renting a car, this might be the year you rent an electric vehicle. The EV may have a more expensive rental price, but it could be cheaper than renting a gas-powered car and filling its tank. AAA has a helpful

American Red Cross urges caution as heat indices rise across portions of Missouri, Arkansas Submitted to Branson Globe With hot temperatures and high humidity on the horizon, the American Red Cross of Missouri and Arkansas urges residents to take precautions against the heat.

According to the National Library of Medicine, extreme heat causes more deaths than any other weather-related hazard, killing 12,000 people living in the U.S. each year. In addition, the CDC reports that more than 65,000 people visit an emergency room in the U.S. for acute heat illness every summer.

Everyone is at risk when temperatures rise above 90 degrees; and the elderly and the very young are most susceptible to heat and heat-related illnesses. Heat-related

illnesses can cause serious injury and even death if unattended.

Signs of heat-related illnesses include nausea, dizziness, flushed or pale skin, heavy sweating and headaches. Persons with heat-related illness should be moved to a cool place, given cool water to drink and ice packs or cool wet cloths should be applied to the skin. If a victim refuses water, vomits or loses consciousness, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number immediately.

Red Cross heat wave safety tips: Prepare. Discuss heat safety precautions with members of your household. Have a plan for what to do if the power goes out.

light-colored clothing. Avoid dark colors because they absorb the sun’s rays. It is also a good idea to wear hats or to use an umbrella.

Stay hydrated. Carry water or juice with you and drink continuously even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine, which dehydrate the body.

Eat small meals and eat more often. Avoid high-protein foods, which increase metabolic heat.

Slow down and avoid strenuous activity. If you must do strenuous activity, do it during the coolest part of the day, which is usually in the morning between 4 and 7 a.m. Take frequent breaks.

Stay indoors when possible. If air conditioning is not available, stay on the lowest floor out of the sunshine. Remember that electric fans do not cool, they simply circulate the air.

Be a good neighbor. During heat waves, check in on family, friends and neighbors who are elderly or ill and those who do not have air conditioning.

Check on your animals frequently, too, to make sure they are not suffering from the heat.

• Learn Red Cross first aid and CPR/AED. Know what these heat-related terms mean: • Heat cramps: Heat cramps are muscular pains and spasms that usually occur in the legs or abdomen. They are caused by exposure to heat and humidity, and loss of fluids. Heat cramps are an early signal that the body is having trouble with the heat.

• Heat exhaustion: Heat exhaustion typically occurs when people exercise heavily or work in a hot, humid place where body fluids are lost through heavy sweating. Blood flow to the skin increases, causing blood flow to decrease to the vital organs. This results in a form of mild shock. If not treated, the victim may suffer heat stroke.

Signals of heat exhaustion include cool, moist, pale flushed or red skin; heavy sweating; headache; nausea or vomiting; dizziness; and exhaustion.

Body temperature will be near

normal.

• Heat stroke: Also known as sunstroke, heat stroke is life-threatening. The victim’s temperature-control system, which produces sweat as a way of cooling the body, stops working. Body temperature can rise so high that brain damage and death may result if the body is not cooled quickly.

Signals include hot, red and dry skin; changes in consciousness; rapid, weak pulse; and rapid, shallow breathing.

General care for heat emergencies: • Heat exhaustion: Get the person to a cooler place and have him or her rest in a comfortable position. If the person is fully awake and alert, give half a glass of cool water every 15 minutes, and have the person drink slowly. Remove or loosen tight clothing and apply cool, wet cloths to the skin.

Fan the person. Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number if the person refuses water, vomits or loses consciousness.

needed fast. Call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number. Move the person to a cooler place. Quickly cool the body. Wrap wet towels or sheets around the body. Use a water hose, if available, to cool the victim. Watch for signals of breathing problems. Keep the person lying down and continue to cool the body. If the victim refuses water or is vomiting or there are changes in the level of conscious-

ness, do not give anything to eat or drink.

So long, Internet Explorer. The browser retires

By Richard Jacobsen, AP News Internet Explorer is finally headed out to pasture.

Microsoft will no longer support the once-dominant browser that legions of web surfers loved to hate — and a few still claim to adore. The 27-year-old application now joins BlackBer-

ry phones, dial-up modems and Palm Pilots in the dust bin of tech history.

IE’s demise was not a surprise.

A year ago, Microsoft said that it was putting an end to Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022, pushing users to its Edge browser, which was launched in 2015.

The company made clear then it was time to move on.

“Not only is Microsoft Edge a faster, more secure and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, but it is also able to address a key concern: compatibility for older, legacy websites and applications,” Sean Lyndersay, general manager of Microsoft Edge Enterprise, wrote in a May 2021 blog post.

Users marked Explorer’s passing on Twitter, with some referring to it as a “bug-ridden, insecure POS” or the “top browser for installing other browsers.”

For others it was a moment for 90s nostalgia memes, while The Wall Street Journal quoted a 22-yearold who was sad to see IE go.

Microsoft released the first version of Internet Explorer in 1995, the antediluvian era of web surfing dominated by the first widely popular browser, Netscape Navigator. Its launch signaled the beginning of the end of Navigator: Microsoft went on to tie IE and its ubiquitous Windows operating system together so tightly that many people simply used it by default instead of Navigator.

More hotels are promoting electric vehicle charging as a hotel perk, right alongside traditional amenities like pools and breakfast buffets. Many hotels even allow you to charge your car at no cost.

If rental car prices are brutally high, consider booking with alternative rental car companies

like Turo or Getaround, which can be cheaper than a major car rental company. Many of these companies are relatively new and allow you to book cars directly from the owners, functioning as an “Airbnb for cars.”

It pays to shop around before you make reservations.

est gas.

If driving a gas-powered car is non-negotiable, master the art of saving money on gas. Download apps like GasBuddy, which track local gas prices and can help guide you to the cheapest station near you. It also helps to drive more efficiently. Adjusting how you speed up, brake, or use

cruise control can have an impact on your gas usage.

And if all else fails and you’re stuck with a gargantuan gas bill, at least earn rewards for your spending through a rewards credit card. The best gas credit cards can typically net at least 3% back in rewards for your gas station spending.

The lure of Missouri

VisitMO.com A bluebird sky drapes over a crystal-clear Missouri stream. A hand-tied fly settles to the surface of a ripple and floats downstream.

A wild Rainbow Trout lunges to take the bait. It’s moments like these that lure people to fish in Missouri.

The Show-Me State has everything an angler could want. More than 200 species of fish offer different challenges for everyone from a child fishing for the first time to professional bass fishermen. Just pick a favorite, and we’ll provide both the location and the action.

Challenging big water provides spectacular fishing for walleye, bass, crappie, northern pike, even paddlefish. From the dark depths and rugged bluffs of Table Rock Lake and the liquid blue dragon-shaped Lake of the Ozarks to sparkling, sprawling Mark Twain Lake, there are 12 bodies of water in Missouri that are larger than 1,000 acres.
