The third Friday in September is designated as National POW/MIA Recognition Day across the Unit ed States. Since 1989, an annual Presidential proclamation chal lenges the public to come togeth er in unity to honor and remember members of the Armed Forces who were or are known prisoners of war or remain missing in action. The day serves as a call to action, reminding the nation to rededicate efforts to find answers for families still awaiting them. It is our respon sibility to bring home those who went to war and are still unaccount ed for, and to care for the 85,000 Gold Star families still hoping for word of their loved ones.

While current city code requires the discontinuance of service to customers who hold delinquent ac counts for both water and sewer, some accounts utilize City of Bran son sewer but use Public Water Sup ply District No. 3 (PWSD) of Taney County for water.

The passing of Bill No. 6190 means the Branson Utilities Depart ment has entered into an agreement with PWSD and is now able to ter minate service to any delinquent sewer account that utilizes PWSD. The City has 222 delinquent ac counts with the top four totaling more than $5 million in bills. Of the $5 million, approximately $4,950,641 is from penalties that have accrued in each of the four accounts. The ac tual sewage usage (total charges) for those four accounts mentioned above is just over $19,000. If a City of Branson Utilities customer doesn’t pay their month ly bill, 5% interest is charged from the date the account is delinquent. For example, if month one is de linquent, sewer consumption plus interest is charged. If it is unpaid in month two as well, month one’s total owed plus the current month’s usage and interest is the new total owed. Water and sewer charges are the main sources of revenue for the Utilities Department which cov ers operations and maintenance of the existing utility system. The monthly usage charges are de posited in the Water/Sewer fund which is a separate fund from the City’s General Fund.

Tom continued, “While interest rates have steadily increased this year, they have had only a mild impact here since many transac tions involve ‘cash buyers’ who are either investing in or relocat ing from other markets where they have sold other assets and have the resources to pay cash.”
Patty, along with husband Tom Buster as broker, opened their real estate agency, Silliman Realty & Associates, in 2018. Grandson Daylen joined the agency in 2020. Earlier this year, Patty’s daughter Kristi, who recently obtained her Missouri real estate license, joined the agency, effectively making Silliman Realty &Associates a three-generation business.
“We have completed the circle,” Patty noted. “Having both Daylen and Kristi here is great because it gives us confidence that if we want, or have, to be away from the business, they are here to keep the office open and operational, including lending a helping hand with our clients’ needs, should a need arise while we are away.”

Patty and the Silliman Realty & Associates staff specialize in primarily residential and income producing properties. They remain busy while experiencing the recent “calming” of the local real estate market.Tom says: “By ‘calming,’ Patty is referring to the reality that there are fewer and fewer properties experiencing three or more com peting offers, whether homes or condos. There has been a modest uptick in inventories the past cou ple of months which is a positive for buyers. For quite a while it seemed as if the listing price was the starting price, similar to what one would expect of an auction.”
Patty explained: “The market is still very strong, especially for single family homes. With regards to condos, we are now seeing an inventory of both luxury and in come producing condos with a few weeks on the market rather than a few hours or days on the market. Thankfully, there is a bit of a growing inventory, giving buyers a few more choices. Sellers benefit because they are not being inundated with multiple and some times confusing offers.”

First, inflation is getting better. The Headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropped some in July to 8.5% from June’s 9.1%. We’re seeing this, especially in durable goods, where new appli ance prices have dropped three out of the last four months. Also, used vehicle prices have dropped four out of the last six months, according to LPL. So inflation is still too high but going in the right direction. Second, it’s getting cheaper to import goods into the country, which shows that pricing pres sures are improving overall. Ac cording to LPL, imported food and beverage prices dropped for three consecutive months, which hopefully means prices are re turning to normal. Third, oil prices are continuing to drop. Crude oil, which gives us gasoline and diesel fuel, was $123 on March 8, $122 on June 8, $104 on July 8, and down to $90 per barrel on July 8, accord ing to Yahoo Finance. It takes two weeks for these prices to affect our gas pumps. This re lief affects the pricing on almost everything we buy because of built-in delivery costs.

Throughout U.S. history, a major ity of people have had a foundation al understanding that there is a God; they are not Him; and He has moral absolutes. That’s what got our coun try through the horrors of the Civil War. I don’t know any World War II veteran—and I’ve known several— who wouldn’t agree with that prem ise. Even if they didn’t formally profess faith, commitment to doing the right thing and eliminating in justice helped sustain them under terrible war conditions.

The Master Teacher said it best. “If any man has a hundred sheep and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying?” He was not willing to lose even one.
The Teacher’s heart and spirit transcend mere “mechanics and basics.” It goes to the concern and commitment of dedicating them selves to their students and their in dividual ability to effectively apply what is being taught. In many cases, it’s a task that is made more difficult by influenc es outside of the Teacher’s direct control. These include physical or mental challenges of individual students, COVID, school funding, child abuse, and dysfunctional fam ilies, to mention a few.

I see parallels between the Isra elites and the United States today. While our nation has definitely had shortcomings, historical documents show that in general, the Founding Fathers hoped to avoid the pitfalls of major empires by basing a demo cratic republic on the moral founda tion of the Bible and God. Perhaps the best-known quote about this is from John Adams, who observed, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the govern ment of any other.” He wasn’t the only Founder with this view; James Madison wrote that our Constitution requires “sufficient virtue among men for self-government.” (Check out Branson’s excellent Freedom Journey Show for more on this.)

America’s destiny is not in the hands of presidents, politi cians, lawyers, doctors, accountants and other leaders. It’s in the hands of the professionals preparing those who will become the future presidents, pol iticians, lawyers, doctors, accountants and other leaders, Her teachers! In its simplest terms, a “teacher” is “one who teaches.” However, the true “Teacher” embraces and accepts the challenge and respon sibility of preparing America’s next generation to realize their individual potential and equipping them to ful fill it. In their hands rests the hope for America’s destiny! There are those with the title of “teacher.” They do the minimum without a personal commitment to their students or accepting the respon sibility or accountability for their re sults. They are “teachers” in title only. The true “Teacher” has a personal commitment to their students. It is a promise that goes beyond the rote teaching of the necessary informa tion and skills their students will need. One that makes learning an experience their students will want to continue for the rest of their lives. They fully realize and appreciate that “how” they do what they do is as important as “what” they do. True “Teaching” resembles an art form. It takes the same passion and dedication that an entertainer needs for their performance to win over their audience. Although the profes sional entertainer wants to reach ev ery audience member, they can still be very successful if they only reach a substantial part of it. A Teacher, however, does not have that luxury. For them, success and failure are measured in the eyes, minds and hearts of each individual student.
While there are a few encouraging scenes, such as Gideon’s miraculous victory, the horror stories include a guy sacrificing his daughter to fulfill a rash vow; a woman gangraped to death; a household shrine of idols administered by a Levite who should have known better; and assorted civil wars. Here’s the thing, though. Israel DID have a King: God. God’s pur pose for the nation of Israel was to set apart a group of people and set the stage for the coming of Jesus to redeem fallen humanity. But the Israelites had trouble following a King they couldn’t see and really dropped the ball on teaching new generations. It was hard enough under strong leaders like Moses and Joshua, and under the judges, it was harder. People who truly sought God were the exception, including a couple of key women and possibly a few judges without major recorded failures.

Been Thinkin’ Junk store ghosts
BY JOSHUA StateoftheOzarksHESTONMedia& Design
It was summer of ‘05, if mem ory serves. My buddy Rob and I were looking for something to do and found ourselves in the “best town by a dam site,” Henry, Illinois. For me growing up some miles south and a county away, Henry was exotic but the little grocery store there also had Dutch windmill cookies. We found a junk store of sorts, wandering in the back door of what was once an almost-fancy dress de partment store. Blank-faced manne quins struck stately poses over tidily arranged garage-sale-esque debris. A disinterested clerk with tight curly hair pushed her glasses up as we walked by. “There’s two more floors to look at,” she sighed. The whole place held a sense of resigned regret. Of a century of hoped-for dreams crumpled next to the worn out tri cycle and box of clothes-less Barbie dolls. We found the stairs. Up the stairs it was darker and seemed older. Mid-century flot sam, nice dress shoes of another era, dress shoes nobody wears anymore. In an earlier time, this floor had also been part of the store. The old display cases said so. In the dim light, we found a smaller set of stairs and left any semblance of retail reality behind. On the third floor, the air was still. The hot, lively summer seemed a lifetime away. Hol low light shone through narrow 19th-century windows whose locks had been painted over countless times. A horseshoe trail circumnavigated the cavernous room amid stacks of mismatched collections, a physical testimony to the whole of the 20th century. I found a box full of newspapers from the 1940s, finally settling on an issue with a splashy war head line, something to offend modern sensibilities regarding the war in the Pacific. It seemed somehow appropriate and another stylishly faced 1940s’ mannequin seemed to nod in agreement My head swirled full of thoughts, half-remembered memories not my own. There were layers of lifetimes here, lifetimes discard ed, still hoping, dreaming, even screaming silently from cardboard boxes, all waiting to be thrown away. Would this 1800s’ building be demolished for a disposable convenience store? Or perhaps, after all the ghosts and their incon venient lives were cleared away, this space could become a bougie reception hall or a fancy barber shop or a microbrewery.

“You wouldn’t believe all the junk we had to clear away,” the new, stylish owners would say and if I were a ghost, I’d be tempted to turn over a table or chaotically re arrange the napkins just for spite. “That’s not junk,” I’d want to scream. “That’s my life.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that nee deth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Tim othy 2:15 KJV It is easy to become so con cerned with our hustle and bustle as parents that we forget the feelings that children have as they prepare to return to school. Yes, parents worry about clothes, supplies, schedules, etc. But what about the children and what they are feeling and thinking??

10. I’ve heard a lot of people talk about things that I don’t un derstand that are going on in some schools. Am I supposed to believe everything the teacher says? Many children will not sleep well the night before the first day of school. They will be tired but yet have to get up early. Hopefully they will have a good breakfast ready, but some will say they are not hun gry. They may be too excited to eat! When the children get on the bus or get to school, they will probably be hesitant to do anything those first few days. (I found when I taught that they were better behaved the first week or two of school. They are surveying the situation and hold back actions until they feel confi dent as to what to do.)
What about homeschooling? Homeschooling eliminates many of these anxieties. They already have the answers to many of the questions that worry children who go to public school. Homeschool ers have an advantage in this area unless they have an instructor at home who is not prepared or does not understand them. When I taught GED classes, occasionally I would get a student who had been homeschooled. With the exception of one student, I can honestly say that it appeared they had been well educated. I highly recommend home schooling unless there is no one who can do it adequately. It takes time and much patience!! There are many homeschool groups now that can make up for music, sports, art, etc. As the new school year begins, let’s try to put ourselves in the shoes of the children. It’s tough to parent; it is also tough to be a good kid!

Recommended qualifying veterans include Purple Heart recipients, vet erans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress, those dealing with traumatic brain injuries or effects of Agent Or ange, and those who served multiple tours. A nomination form is avail able at www.quiltsofhonor.org, and requests are referred to the closest local chapter. Members of Table Rock Quilts of Honor also carry brochures containing a nomination form to local events, or a form can be requested by phone and mailed.
Quilts of Honor, cur rently led by Janie Mahon, meets the first Monday of each month for fellowship, to show their current projects, and to discuss details like fabric, designs, and the logistics of upcoming presentations. Mem bers work both individually and in groups. Presentations are often made at regular meetings of local veterans’ organizations, although quilters often carry extra quilts to special events to hand to World War II, Korea, and Vietnam veter

“This is wonderful,” said Verrill as he received his quilt. “So much work went into this, and it means a lot.” Every recipient and family express similar gratitude, and for Vietnam veterans, the gift is par ticularly meaningful as it can help in at least a small way to make up for the shameful treatment many endured upon returning to Amer ica after serving. When a quilt is presented, it is made even more personal as a fabric block is added with the recipient’s name and ser vice details along with the name of the volunteer who made the quilt. Volunteers donate their time and at least part of their own materials, but the project does have associat ed costs. Long-arm quilting ma chines, a welcome alternative to the hand quilting of the past, still take time and effort, and several people who own machines give a discount to the group. Donations of quilt batting and backing mate rial, or funds to buy them, are also appreciated.

“Basically and simply, it’s sort of a retrospective of my life and career,” said Baio. “But, it’s not like ‘Oh, I did this show, and I did this show.’ It’s how it happened, who are the people that influence me. Pull the curtain back, kind of, on the entertainment business, to Scott Baio (Special to Branson Globe)
By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer Stevie Lee Woods, headliner at the Nashville Roadhouse Theater, has many friends in the entertain ment industry, and has brought a number of them to town to per form at his theater. This weekend, the theater is hosting a unique show when ac tor Scott Baio shares his one-man show, “How Did I Get Here?” with Branson audiences. Well known for such popular shows as “Happy Days,” “Joanie Loves Chachi,” and “Charles in Charge,” Baio began his acting ca reer as a child.

Scott Baio shares his memories this weekend at Nashville Roadhouse Theater
“I was a kid in Brooklyn, and I had a much older cousin who did commercials and things like that,” Baio explained. “Being a boy who watched a lot of television, I saw my cousin on an episode of “The Monkees,” and I thought ‘wouldn’t that be cool.’ So, I asked my mom if I could go meet with his ‘whomever.’ However you work that business. I was nine years old; I didn’t know. So, I met with his agent, and I started going onSoonauditions.”after,Baio landed his first television commercial. Said Baio, “In the commercial, I was just a kid watching a Yankees game. I went to Yankee Stadium, and I got the day off of school. thought, ‘What’s better than this?’ “ That first commercial led to many more, then came the tele vision roles. By the time he was a teenager, Baio’s name was well known in the entertainment in dustry, and for years he remained busy with roles in countless televi sion shows and movies. These days, Baio’s taking life at a slightly slower pace, enjoying time with family. “I’ve just been doing this show. I don’t do much anymore in terms of television or anything like that,” Baio explained. “The last show I had went off the air in 2016. I’ve found nothing that I really feel like doing at the moment, or for the past couple of years. I get to be with my daughter. She’s a compet itive golfer, and I get to play golf with her and spend time with her a lot. And, I get to be with my wife. She has had health issues, and her health is maybe 90% now. I spend time with her, and I enjoy every day. I do what I want. I’m blessed, and I’m lucky, and I get to just live myBaio’slife.” current project is his oneman show that he shares with au diences across the nation.

The project’s estimated cost has increased from $14.4 million on June 22, 2021, to $15.2 million as of August 9, 2022. At its June 22, 2021, meeting, the Board passed a resolution accepting a grant from the Missouri Department of Eco nomic Development Community Development Block Grant Program to design and construct a flood wall at the Compton Drive Wastewater Treatment plant. At that time, the estimated total projected project cost was $14,378,367.

At the August 9, 2022, regularly scheduled meeting of the Branson Board of Aldermen (Board), City of Branson Utilities Director Kendall Powell gave an update regarding the Compton Wastewater Treatment Plant’s Flood Protection System. During the update, Powell said, “The engineering plans are 90% complete and that the goal is to start construction in early 2023. While a budget for this project has not been set, it is estimated to cost about $15.2 million and is expected to be paid for mostly through grants, specifically from Community De velopment Block Grants (CDBG) and an Economic Development Administration (EDA) Grant. The rest of the project cost will be fund ed through the City’s Tourism Tax. “We are working hard to find as much grant money as possible for this project. We already have grant funding of $13 million dollars and are exploring options to request additional grant funding to be the best stewards of taxpayer’s dollars as possible.”
During a 2021 interview, shortly after that, Kendall Powell, then the Interim Utilities Director for the City of Branson, said that the pur pose of the wall was to protect the Compton Drive Wastewater Treat ment Plant from a 100-year flood. He points out that in 2015 we came within inches of water getting into the compound and flooding neces sary operating components, which would have made it inoperable. Powell pointed out that the city has two wastewater treatment plants, the Compton Drive Plant and the Cooper Creek Plant. The Cooper Creek Plant handles the wastewater south of Highway 76 and the Compton Drive Plant, the wastewater north of Highway 76. Currently, there is no way to switch the wastewater load be tween the two plants. If the Comp ton Drive Wastewater Treatment Plant were to flood and become inoperable, it would have drastic practical and economic impacts on the area north of Highway 76, in cluding the entire north side of the Branson Strip.

Construction of protection of Compton Wastewater Treatment Plant to start in 2023...maybe
The project’s estimated cost has increased from $14.4 million in June of 2021 to $15.2 million. The Compton Drive Wastewater Facility is located along Lake Tan eycomo, which is at extreme risk of flood damage. Since 2011, this facili ty has been threatened by floodwaters during multiple flooding events, which have resulted in historic water releases from Table Rock Dam. In 2017, the city invested in a portable temporary flood protection system; however, for permanent protection of the facility, the city needs to build a flood wall around the perimeter of the facility.
By GARY J. GROMAN, Free lance Journalist/Writer
The Block Grant Program Fund ing Approval for the flood wall stated, “the project will include design and construction of a new 2,200 linear feet long flood wall.” It will completely encompass the Compton Drive Wastewater Treat ment Plant, be “approximately 12 feet above the current elevation, and have two flood gates. The flood gates will be “open for nor mal ingress/egress in dry weather and closed during flood events.”

The classes can also be valu able for rebuilding confidence and preparing to re-enter the job mar ket after a major life change such as divorce or loss of a long-time employment position. The class es address topics like presenting oneself well, dressing properly for an interview, and resumé prepara tion, which are just as important as actual job skills for succeeding at work. Elevate Work is adapted for the particular needs and challenges of the Branson area from the Jobs for Life curriculum developed by a North Carolina nonprofit. At the orientation, mentors will learn about the challenges students face as they move from a pover ty mindset to a middle-class ap proach to work and finances. Be assured, mentors are not expected to teach the lessons or solve prob lems for the student, but rather to encourage and coach students and help them be accountable for com pleting assignments and preparing for mock interviews. Mentors will be given guidelines for helping without creating dependency.

Gardeners encouraged to contribute to seed library
The premise of the seed libraries is that people can come and check out up to three varieties of seeds each time they visit, for free. They, then, plant those seeds, and upon harvesting, save the seeds and return some to the seed library for the next round of planters.
“We learned a lot this year in the garden. It was a long and very hot summer that proved challenging when it came to growing tomatoes,” Cassady noted. “I am excited to save the seeds from our Cherokee purple tomatoes and a very special Missouri variety called the ‘Missouri Rose Ap ple.’ Both varieties seemed to handle the heat and dry conditions well.” The seeds from these two varieties of tomatoes will be used to help oth ers plant next spring, but Cassady is in need of more seeds, to help the seed libraries grow. If you have seeds from your harvest, Cassady and White Riv er Seed would appreciate your sharing some of those seeds.

Featured speaker Martha White began by describing her family’s life in Cuba before the Com munist takeover by Castro. She shared photos of her mother, a former Miss Cuba, and the fam ily’s beautiful home. Her family owned businesses across the is land and farms raising Santa Ger trudis cattle and Arabian horses, administered by her father and built with hard work and wise management. Her grandfather also served as attorney general of Cuba pre-Castro. White humor ously recalled after she moved to the United States, a school class mate asked what she thought upon seeing her first TV; White doesn’t remember not having one. Her realization that things in Cuba were changing began at eight years old when she answered a telephone call warning that her father would be killed. The hus band of the family’s cook also overheard, during a card game, militia discussing plans to assas sinate wealthy people and former officials. The man warned the family and they quickly left for their beach house, which miracu lously, the officers did not know about as it was not part of the family’s income properties. That beach house, next door to a French ambassador, became a haven for young men who opposed Castro and needed to flee the country. When White was 10, her par ents sent her to Florida to live with an aunt; remaining in Cuba themselves on the chance things would return to normal and her father would be needed. Although it was not yet hard to get a pass port and visa, the actual boarding of the flight was difficult; Martha was taken from her parents and for six hours she was questioned and her jewelry taken and not returned. She believes the Holy Spirit helped her answer questions with wisdom beyond her age, and even more miraculously, an old er woman showed up and never left her side. Once she was safely ready to board the plane, the wom an, whom White believes was a guardian angel, disappeared. Once aboard, White recalls the passen gers’ clapping, cheering, and tears of joy when the pilot announced, “We are over international waters. You are Whitefree.”lived with her aunt’s family for two years, until her parents finally decided they must leave Cuba. She spoke admiring ly of her father, who worked as a pool maintenance man in Florida without complaining and never accepted government handouts.
est grassroots organizations in the country and active in every state. Missouri director Bev Ehlen also greeted the large group and de scribed the strong CWA presence in Jefferson City each year. Under the motto, “Prayer Paves the Way, and Action Possesses the Land,” Concerned Women for America does just that, as local chapters meet to pray about concerning political and social developments and formulate action steps.
The family was later sponsored by the mayor of Oklahoma City to move to Oklahoma, providing better employment for her father and eventually leading to meeting her husband, Ross White. White believes God has called her to share her story. Her warn ing for Saturday’s audience began with recalling her father, who reg CWA Missouri state director Bev Ehlen; Martha White; Taney County chapter leader Haven Howard; Springfield chapter leader Tracy Dougan (Photo by Cindy Thomas) SEE CWA,

First, the door for Communism was opened by weakness in the previous ruler. As Castro took over, he created class division by seizing property, taking what wealthier families had worked hard for and giving it to the poor, who enjoyed the handouts and be came ready recruits for the mili tia. Sadly, the middle class didn’t speak up until the seizing of prop erty worked its way down to their income level and it was too late.
White feels a similar concept is at work in the U.S. as illegal immi grants enter easily and free stuff is given in hopes of getting votes. Castro also seized guns; White’s father hid his. She pointed out that people without guns obey a person with a gun, regardless of whether that person is right. She also recalls government tak ing over food supply distribution, allowing milk and eggs only for school-aged children. When her maternal grandfather died; she re calls aunts saying “It’s good that God took him because they knew what this would do to him,” and compared that to elderly veterans horrified at current conditions.
ularly listened to Voice of Amer ica radio, saying of Castro early on, “That man is a Communist.” She outlined several warning signs in Cuba that she sees par alleled in the United States today.
The government also limited how much money anyone could hold and changed the currency; her fa ther hid money as officials tracked everything, even overseas except for funds held in Switzerland. However, White closed her presentation on an encouraging note: “Pray for God’s will. Only God can fix this.” She encouraged the audience to stay aware but cautioned against spending too much time focusing on the news, which leads to anxiety, but rather to get up every morning and pray. Following the presentation, Springfield chapter leader Tracy Dougan compared White’s guard ian angel experience to Concerned Women of America today, stand ing in defense of Christian val ues. “We are Kingdom citizens first,” she reminded attendees. The Taney County Prayer/Action Chapter meets the second Tues day of each month; the Springfield Chapter meets the first Saturday. Another way to get involved is by sending regular prayer cards to legislators in Jefferson City.

“Pretty much anytime anyone calls or needs anything, even on just 20 minutes notice, if they call and say, ‘I’m in such and such neighborhood and I want to see this property,’ I don’t think there has ever been a time when one of us hasn’t been able to help them out.”

Patty shared, “I’m not quite ready to retire. I plan to get my broker’s license, so that when Tom is ready to retire, he can.”

“Your satisfaction is our fam ily’s guarantee,” said Patty, “We would love to hear from anyone who has any questions, concerns or anything we can help with, in their real estate need. We are just phone call away!”
It is that level of customer ser vice that makes Silliman Realty & Associates one of the top-rated real estate agencies in the area. The company was voted the Best Real Estate Office for 2020 and 2021 and Patty was voted the ar ea’s Best Real Estate Agent for three years in a row, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Speaking for the entire office, Patty noted, “Our clients know they can count on the service that we’re going to give them and that we’re going to exceed their expectations, every single time. That is our goal.”
“We get in our cars and go, right then”, said Patty. “Service makes the difference. While it is true that all agents have the same license, we all do not have the same set of skills. This is not a derogatory statement, rather it is a fact. Expe rience makes a huge difference and I have over 40 years as a licensed real estate agent. My website has fabulous testimonials and Tom’s does as well, that come straight from our clients. They love to tell about their experiences. That is what makes our business secure and solid and gives us the confi dence that our business is always going to be there. We enjoy a lot of repeat and referred business, which is why we are as successful as we are today.”
Kristi added: “My mom has taught me from the beginning to ‘Read my emails, answer my phone, and respond immediately,’ whenever possible.”
While Silliman Realty & Asso ciates has a goal to provide excel lent service to every client, each member of the family has set in dividual goals for the near future. Daylen hopes to grow his busi ness, while Kristi, a recent emp ty-nester, is looking at a move, possibly to the Branson Landing.

Mansion Sound and Solid State Logic reveal state-of-the-art audio studio
Submitted to Branson Globe Mansion Sound and Solid State Logic have dynamically joined forces to deliver unmatched au dio quality and functionality to clients at the finest singular audio facility of its kind in the world.
The multi-million dollar custom designed Mansion Sound studios launched on August 1, 2022, fea tures SSL flagship Duality Fuse SuperAnalogue and System T S500 digital audio mixing con soles in two of the facility’s ac claimed rooms to support its mu sic and soundtrack production in addition to full film and television audio post production services. The “A” room houses the largest SSL Duality Fuse ever built. Mansion Sound, part of The Mansion Entertainment Group headquartered in Branson, Mis souri, encompasses a strategically defined global brand of creative production entities. In addition to Mansion Sound, the core brand includes Mansion Animation, Mansion Film & Television and Mansion Studios, an unprece dented industry defining film and television production and post production campus now in full de velopment and pre-construction. At the heart of the group is the Mansion Theatre for the Perform ing Arts, a 3,000-seat multi-pur pose venue that is currently cel ebrating its thirtieth anniversary and is considered the premiere center for the performing arts in the Midwest United States.

Mansion Sound’s new SSL Duality Fuse is the first and only 96-input configuration of the console to be manufactured and installed anywhere in the world, positioning the studio as a unique and powerful destina tion for audio production.

The credo of the organization, which was founded by owner Gene Bicknell and is operated under the guidance of CEO Larry Wilhite, is to bring joy, hope and exceptional family entertainment to the world through the core Mansion brands. The inaugu ral project recorded and mixed through the SSL Duality Fuse was An Ozark Mountain Sym phony: A Musical Celebration, an hour-long special featuring The Springfield Symphony Orchestra and a galaxy of Disney, Broad way, gospel and country music stars. Filmed live in concert at the Mansion Theatre For The Performing Arts, it was record ed and mixed at Mansion Sound by multiple Grammy and Emmy winning producer and engineer David Reitzas and will premiere on PBS nationwide later this year and in 2023. According to Larry Wilhite, CEO, Mansion Entertainment Group, “It’s overwhelming and humbling to have been able to develop and grow these facili ties, encompassing our studios, sound stages, and stage for tele vision and live performances. The team that has been assembled in every area where this company has grown its brand is unprece dented. It’s good to know that no corners have been cut and per fection prevails.

I talk to a lot of well-meaning parents out there who have a hard time knowing how to best prepare their kids for college. They don’t want to annoyingly overload them with life advice (cue the eye rolls), but they also know it’s their job to give guidance as their teens step intoSo,adulthood.what’sthe sweet spot? How can you empower your student to feel the freedom they crave while still giving them the guidance they need? Whether your family is just starting to talk college or your baby is heading off this fall, I’ve found that these three tips help set a solid foundation for your college student (and hopefully they’ll help you have some good conversa tions too!). Let’s dive in. 1. Have a plan (even if it’s a loose one). Remember when it was your kid’s first day of school ever? Those wide, ex cited (possibly terrified) eyes. A backpack that’s way too big bouncing on their backs. With a little guidance from you, I’m guessing your child had a vague idea of what to expect: Arrive at school, learn in class, eat lunch, play, learn some more, and come home. And that direction helped them face the unknown with confidence. Well, they may not be itty bitty anymore, but this is still true: Your kids need a plan. Up un til this point, most students have basically had their lives planned for them, so they’ll need your help thinking about the future, considering the con sequences of their decisions, and mapping out how they reach goals. This includes decisions like picking a school that has their interest of study (that you can afford without loans), choos ing a major and understanding what further schooling, intern ships or potential careers look like, and encouraging them to try new things and get in volved socially.
Of course, it’s just the begin ning. So, try to have check-ins with your student along the way to make sure their plan still serves whatever their goal has become. 2. Teach them how to handle money. This is one of the most important things you can do to set your kids up for success. Why? Well, the average stu dent owes over $30,000 in stu dent loans at graduation, and over half of those students are still chained to $20,000 of that debt 20 years later. Even if your family isn’t able to support your child finan cially, your child doesn’t have to drown in debt or make bad money decisions. Start by be ing very clear up front on how (or if) you’ll be helping finan cially and what they’ll be re sponsible for. Walk alongside them as they find scholarships, part-time jobs (looking at you Chick-fil-A), or work-study programs. And teach them how to budget the money they earn from those things. Make sure they also under stand what insurance they need, why they need it, and how to get it. And consistent ly warn them that everyone is going to try to convince them to borrow money, get the latest credit card, take out a car loan, etc. Talk about the pitfalls of
SEE COLLEGE, PAGE 40
The start of something incredible: Three tips to help your kids crush college
3. Encourage them to surround themselves with solid people. Entrepreneur Jim Rohn famously says, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” And he’s right. You want your student to make good friends, try new things, open their eyes to the world, and have fun. But if this phase of life is about pre paring for the future, one of the most important things they can learn is how to find their peo ple and make friendships. Friendships get you through life. And I’m not talking about the “friends” you follow on so cial media. I’m talking about the people who know the good stuff and the bad stuff and still show up. It’s so important for your kid to learn how to bal ance having responsibilities and growing real relationships that build them up rather than tear them down. If you have a shy child, they might need a little more help and guidance. And if your child has a bit of a wild side (God bless them), they may need some direction on how to find good, fun, safe relationships.
Some of my very best friends to this day are friends I made in college. These are the peo ple who encouraged me when I felt like giving up, helped me feel at home when I felt home sick, and made me laugh so hard it hurt. College is an envi ronment that’s challenging and constantly changing, so make sure your kid doesn’t under estimate how important solid relationships are. When your child goes to col lege, they get new everything: new schedules, new friends, new financial responsibilities, new so cial experiences, new freedom. Change is stressful for them and for you. As you prepare your kid for college, remember to have compassion . . . and fun. This is a new and challenging step for your family, but it’s an adventure that should be the start of something incredible!

With every day’s news, it’s evi dent those moral foundations have cracked and during the last genera tion, turned into an avalanche. Ev erything is about “me;” what makes “me” happy; if you disagree, you’re wrong. You owe “me” stuff even if I do bad things. But what is bad? Bot tom line is, if there is no King in our hearts, eventually there is no unity in our nation and leaders, and then, God help us. It’s not about a particu lar church; it’s about a holy God with standards. Following a strong leader, or praying to God after something like 9/11/2001, is at best temporary. This isn’t just about politics; but come November, I’ll vote for can didates who show commitment to Godly values rather than wavering around what is trendy. Bottom line though, is that God’s purposes will eventually be fulfilled and my heart needs to be fully committed to the King.
