Dick Burkhalter of BVA 913 commented it was great to have so many young people involved in helping honor veterans. Local Civil Air Patrol and JROTC stu dents were on hand, and members of Missouri 65 bluegrass band are also high school/college age. Burkhalter also felt the event reached out to veterans who were not aware of available services and resources, or lack transportation to access them. He mentioned one veteran who, after hearing about the event, called to ask for a ride. He had a great time connecting with other veterans, and they in turn were able to hear his experiences as a Native American growing up knowing the last of the World War II Navajo Code Talkers. Vendor and information tables included the local Veteran Service Officer, VA Clinic representatives, Branson Veterans Task Force, Pa triot Riders, Woof for Vets, GUMI Camp, Branson Memorial Gar dens, and more, so each veteran attending was able to learn more about available resources, includ ing opportunities for fellowship and dealing with PTSD. beings

The Branson Board of Aldermen voted at the August 23, 2022, Board of Aldermen meeting to approve an ordinance to increase the budget for a design contract for Fire Station #4 by $115,500 due to inflation. The initial contract with Hoefer Welker LLC was not to exceed $390,000. The new contract ap proves design services not to ex ceed $505,500. Fire Chief Ted Martin explained to the Board that a lot of financial calculations and plans were done pre-COVID and due to inflation, the total projected budget of Fire Station #4 will also need to increase from $3.1 million to $4.5 million. Fire Station #4 will be funded from the half-cent Public Safety Sales Tax that the residents of Branson passed in 2017. “We committed to our citizens a fire station design to fit the fire rescue needs as well as a building comparable to the area served. Un fortunately, we too have seen the effects of inflation based on our conceptual design pre-COVID to today’s current pricing,” said Bran son Fire Rescue Chief Ted Martin. Fire Station #4 will have a pro jected maximum 11,000 sq. feet and will be built in Ward 3 in the south part of Branson off State Highway 165 on Champagne Boulevard to reduce fire and emer gency response times. This fire station will be designed to house up to six firefighters, three drivethrough bays, and a community/ training room.

The Historic Downtown Bran son CID Board met with the Co alition’s designer from Orlando when she visited Branson in June. More than 40 concept sketches were developed, reviewed and revised until a final option was selected in July. Manufacturing, pricing, delivery, installation and storage opportunities were evalu ated until early August, when the order was placed for 65 fixtures in cluding 398 snowflakes and swirls made from 87,568 LED lights. “The Coalition is excited to work with the Historic Down town Branson CID to bring this dream to life for our community,” explains McDowell. “We have always wanted to help make the downtown area a holiday show case and these lamppost fixtures are a great start. We’re working now with some of the individu al business and building owners downtown to install ‘curtains of lights,’ also recommended by our professional lighting design er, that will enhance the swirls of snowflakes and add dazzling color throughout the downtown area.”
“Although our timeline is ex tremely tight,” says Bohinc, “we are exceptionally grateful to the City of Branson who has worked with us to make this happen and will install the new lamppost fix tures that are expected to arrive in mid-October from the manufac turer based in Oregon. Our goal is to have Main and Commercial Streets shining like never before by November 1 this year, and pos sibly expand the lamppost displays to more downtown streets in 2023.”

Local and state officials, former Ozarks Teen Challenge students and staff, Assemblies of God U.S. Missions personnel, and area friends including Table Rock Lake Chamber of Commerce members and representatives from other area nonprofits joined current students and staff mem bers for the occasion. Adult and Teen Challenge, formerly known simply as Teen Challenge, is the largest faithbased recovery program in the United States and one of the most successful in terms of long-term results. In 1958, 26-year-old ru ral Pennsylvania pastor David Wilkerson traveled to New York after seeing news coverage of a highly-publicized murder trial and being shocked at the perpe trators’ young ages. The events that followed led to his ministry to New York gangs and eventu ally the founding of homes for troubled youth; the ministry now reaches worldwide. Mrs. Gladys Reynolds, age 96, with her late husband Frank, was an early staff member alongside Wilker son; Mrs. Reynolds now lives in Springfield, Missouri, and was present for Thursday’s program.

McFaden was privileged to entertain with many prominent vocalists, including Ray Price, Carl Smith and Wan da Jackson. McFaden was soon discovered by Mel Tillis, who hired him as his band leader and bass player, and a lifelong friend ship and musical partnership was formed.“We feel that the fami ly-friendly event went fantastic, overall,” noted Debbie Olson, of the Jukebox Winos, and one of the event organizers. “We had technical issues early on with the heat affecting our sound board and cameras for the performance and livestream, but everyone had a good time, regardless of the heat.

Nowhere has this been more sadly illustrated than by biologi cally male Lia Thomas (formerly Will Thomas), dominating wom en’s swimming records at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania after three years of average performance on the men’s team. The university press has been joined by nation al clamor about Thomas’ success, failing to mention the dashed hopes and dreams of women swimmers who would otherwise be winning. One of those teammates has cou rageously shared, “Our coach just really likes winning, but I think se cretly, everyone just knows it’s the wrong thing to do.” Now is the time to speak out against the Biden Administration’s ridiculous reinterpretation of Title IX to include sexual orientation and gender identity, which is in direct conflict with the original purpose of the law. Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee is on the front line of this fight and has created resources to equip citizens to speak up. Visit www.concernedwomen. org where you’ll find a “Take Ac tion” page; through September 12, you can add comments about the proposed legislation.

This year marked 50 years since the passing of Title IX. The law has increased female sports com petition, from 1 in 27 girls to 2 in 5. Female athletics have also been a pathway to development, oppor tunity and success, including more scholarships resulting in more women graduating from college.
Sadly, proposed changes to Title IX under the Biden administration threaten to undo 50 years of success. Many states, athletic conferences, the NCAA, national sports govern ing bodies, and the Olympics allow biological males who declare their “gender identity” as women or girls to compete in female sports, and changes to Title IX would make such allowances a requirement. Science, biology and common sense all show this is wrong. Biologi cal males have an advantage in direct competition against female athletes in competition. Rooted in hormon al and chromosomal differences, the advantages manifest themselves through muscle mass, larger skeletal structure, larger hearts, and greater lung capacity, among others.

When it comes to electrical repairs, sometimes you have op tions, and sometimes, for safety reasons, you don’t. For example, when you are putting in a new ceiling fan/ light where a single light fix ture once was, you have a few options. These options are both safe, but vary in convenience and expense. The cheapest op tion is to just have the fan/fixture combo installed utilizing the ex isting wiring (or “switch leg”) that goes to the single switch on the wall…which means that the switch will only operate ONE of the functions: the fan OR the lights. You will have to use the pull chain to operate the other function. The more expensive option (which is more conve nient for the homeowner) is to have an additional “switch leg” fished in behind the drywall and another switch installed. Then you would have separate switches for the fan and the light. Both are safe options. Sometimes, there are not op tions. Let’s say that you bought a new water heater that requires a 40 amp circuit, but your old existing circuit is 30 amps. Al though it would seem cheaper to not have to run a new cir cuit that can handle the higher amperage, that is not a safe or practical option. The new water heater would keep tripping the breaker. And if you tried to save money by just putting a 40 amp breaker on the old wire, you would still have a dangerous problem because nothing was done to upgrade the wire size. The old existing wire size is not appropriate to carry 40 amps, so it would overheat and become a fire hazard. When you are hiring any type of contractor, he may or may not give you options. CAUTION: Know that if you ASK for a cheaper option, you may be giv ing that contractor permission to cut corners to try to save you money. Instead, ask your con tractor the safety reasons behind what he is proposing, so that you can understand why he rec ommends what he does.

Hang on. It’s going to get bumpy.” On the eastern side of my Poppy’s place is an old logging road that goes up a steep hill to a ridge. I remember once Poppy had my mom in the truck with us, and he said, “Hang on, it’s going to get bumpy.” Then he went off the road up a crazy steep hill in the woods over rocks and down trees, bouncing us all over the cab of that Ford truck. Poppy and I loved it, but my mom cussed a little. We finally got to the hill top, but it wasn’t a smooth ride. I think the market is about to do the same thing. I think it can make it to the top again, but it will be a bumpy ride on the way.

Nearly everyone gets frustrated when things in our life take a step backward after two steps forward. But forward is forward. Two steps forward with a one step back is still one step forward, which is better than where you were. It is even better when it is followed by another two steps forward. Experienced investors know to expect a back-and-forth upward investment path. The problem comes when volatility comes un expectedly. So, expect volatility and trust your investment plan be cause if you don’t, you might look at your investments and cuss a lit tle like my mom.

Dave Says... Change tactics Stock Market Insights: Unexpected support

What is your advice?
I recently had a judgment filed against me for an unpaid, old hospital bill. Is it possible to negotiate things with the law yer? Originally, the charges were $2,700 but now they have in creased to $3,500, and I am not sure why the amount has risen. I have made several phone calls asking him for a detailed state ment of the account, but all I have received is a payment booklet.

-Ronnie Dear Ronnie, Are you sure you’ve been speaking directly to the lawyer? I’m guessing the reason you ha ven’t gotten a real answer to your question is because you’ve actu ally been talking to some low-lev el staffer or paralegal. If you have been talking to the lawyer, there’s a pretty good chance he’s running a small debt collections or debt lawsuit machine. If this is the case, he probably gets a piece of whatever he collects. That means he’s out to collect as much as pos sible, as quickly as he can.
Since the market low on June 16, the S&P 500 Index has recovered 17% through August 16 but went backward over 3% as of August 25 (Yahoo Finance.) There is also a strong possibility of more bumpy days in the next few weeks. It seems like the market is taking two steps forward and one step back. This quarter feels like what the market did in 2011. On August 15, 2011, the S&P 500 hit its yearly low of -19%. But then, in September and October of 2011, the market rebounded 17% off that low, only to go backward 10% in November 2011, according to LPL. Two steps forward and one step back. Investors were beside them selves, thinking the market would bottom out again, but it didn’t. Instead, the S&P 500 rallied 16% over the final forty days of the year (YahooFinance) to finish 2011 al most exactly where it started. The S&P 500 went on to be positive at 13% in 2012 and 30% in 2013, ac cording to JPMorgan. We all wish investing was a smooth ride upward, but nothing in life is a smooth upward ride.
You might consider changing tactics, and see if you can talk to the hospital administrator. Propose giving them $2,000, or whatever reasonable amount you can afford, on the agreement that the hospital accept it as payment in full. Hospitals and doctor’s of fices are often some of the easiest folks to work with when it comes to paying off debt, but people have to be proactive and make an honest, good faith effort to make it happen.There’s a moral, as well as le gal, responsibility involved when it comes to paying off bills or debt, Ronnie. You should always pay what you owe if at all possible.

“The midwives, however, feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had instructed.” (v.17). Strong’s Concordance in cludes a several synonyms for their fear: reverence, awe, honor, respect, dread. Those midwives knew God had created those ba bies and would not be pleased by killing them. Even though dis obeying Pharaoh could have cost them their lives, they knew the king’s anger would be nothing compared to an angry God. That concept is echoed in the New Testament, when the apostles were jailed and told not to preach, teach, or heal the sick in Jesus’ name. Miraculously delivered from jail (you’d think that would have been a sign), they were asked why they continued to preach. Their reply? “We must obey God rather than men.” While the Bible instructs Chris tians to obey the governing author ities, every New Testament writ er—guys who personally spent time with Jesus—also makes it clear that when the government and God clash, we must obey God, just as the Hebrew midwives did. Application for that concept is all around us; one topic eerily similar to the Exodus story, is abortion.
hat does it mean to fear God? Several Bible vers es—Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 9:10; Job 28:28, just to name a few— link “fear of the Lord” with wis dom. Does that mean we should literally be afraid of God? The concept merits thought as Chris tians seek to follow Christ whole heartedly.Thecontext of those verses adds clarity. For example, several Prov erbs references contrast fearing God with despising instruction, which is called “foolish.” The original languages can also help: commentaries describe the fear of God as reverence and respect for his holiness, recognizing that as the Creator, He is the source of all knowledge and therefore it is fruit less to seek knowledge anywhere else. People who do fear God are assured of his God’s loving guid ance.One of my favorite references to fearing God, and one with clear application to the current cultural context in the United States, is in Exodus 1. There we learn that the king of Egypt, threatened by the growing numbers of Hebrew (Is raelite) people, instructed the mid wives assisting Hebrew women to kill every male baby.
Honoring and respecting His Word is ultimately the wise decision.

Reflections: What does it mean to fear God?
BY CINDY THOMAS StaffWWriter
Who’s ultimately in charge—a fed eral executive order, a state law, or God? More than one faith-based organization has risked loss of fed eral funding over the decision not to provide abortion coverage as part of their health insurance or the services as healthcare.
A simple reading of Scripture indicates this isn’t going to get any easier, but the same Bible also in dicates that at the final judgment, a holy God is indeed to be feared.
Been Thinkin’ About...
Ragged western edges We drove into Alba, Mis souri, at nightfall. Small town street lamps blinked on. Great trees framed the western sky, a bittersweet sky of loss and history and hope. Last of the sun played silver and gold on high cir rus clouds, winter clouds out of place in the August dusk. We arrived to hunt ghosts in a 102-year-old main street mercan tile, now Beard Engine Brewing Company, a place where crystal goblets leap from shelves to land unbroken on the stone floor and tensions rise near the beer vats during the witching hours of night. And according to some, we might not even be in the Ozarks at all. These rolling oak hills often flatten to resemble the great Kan sas plains just a few short miles away. The deep and towering ruggedness of Arkansas’ Boston Mountains feels a lifetime away. It was a cold, late autumn after noon as I concluded an excellent — in my mind — explanation of the boundaries of the Ozarks. “From Jeff City to Little Rock; from Cape Girardeau to Tahle quah,” I explained. In the dim, cavernous light of the theater after, an attendee approached, smiling, extended a hand. “I attended a col lege lecture on the Ozarks some time back. Where did you say the Ozarks were again?” I repeated myself. The smile disappeared. “Those are not the Ozarks as I know them.” The tone turned brittle, the face now of stone.Boundaries are funny things. Holding things in. Keeping things out. Even if those things are sim ply ideas. And here, where this “rugged raised upland plateau” gives way to prairie and sky, there is ambiguity and threshold. Limin al spaces were once sacred things. That strange space between life and death, heaven and hell, good and bad, known and unknown. The static detector on the table flickers. The electromagnetic field meter spikes. A flashlight rolls of its own accord across the mirrored finish of an elegant serving tray. Laughter at the brewery rises, then falls. Here, on the Ozarks’ ragged western edges.

September is Recovery Month Recovery is for everyone be cause it benefits everyone. In re covery, we build new connections to ourselves, our families and our communities. The Recovery Month theme, “Recovery is for Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community” re minds people in recovery and those who support them, that re covery belongs to all of us. We are all called to welcome everyone to recovery by lowering barriers to recovery support, creating in clusive spaces and programs, and broadening our understanding of what recovery means for people with different experiences. While it may be tempting to characterize recovery as a uni versal experience or single jour ney, our community is proof that there are as many pathways to and of recovery as there are peo ple. Our strength is our diversity and because of who we are, the recovery community has unique opportunities to learn, challenge, grow and dream.

Alice was the lovely sender and I connected with her and asked how she found us; her response blew me away! “I saw your ad for Steele Solutions in the Branson Globe and saw Jim’s name and just had to know! My husband is his cousin. We would love to get together, and we are only going to be here for five more days.” We have lived here since 2014 and they have been coming to their home here for over 30 years; all this time we have never known that family was so close! Jim and I started advertising with you just this year and never in a mil lion years would we have thought a reunion of family would have result ed from a simple ad. Gaining busi ness from ads is one thing, but being able to reunite with family takes it to a whole other level! August 24th we ventured out to their home and shared a won derful lasagna dinner, appreciated the fabulous views of Table Rock Lake from the living and dining area and shared many stories of family memories – a reconnection for Jim and his sister and a new introduction for me. That evening was a true blessing. Thank you for connecting com munity, businesses with business es and for enabling us to connect with family!

To honor those bonds, in every form they take, is a signifi cant factor in sustaining recovery as well as building bridges between our communities. When we con nect with open minds and hearts, we learn from one another and cre ate lifesaving opportunities. To heal ourselves, our com munities must also heal. Recov ery Research Institute conducted a nuanced, five-year study that explored the ways in which sub stance use disorder impacted families, communities, and cul tures, and how recovery in those spaces created opportunities to rebuild. The study affirmed that people in distressed communities need opportunities to share their experiences, therefore, personal recovery can translate into collab orative recovery when the individ ual begins to see their story as part of a larger story. The shift from “I” to “we” is transformative. We call to nurture this “we.” We find new ways of connecting the re covery community. We call to re juvenate struggling communities and families. Social connections, family support and neighborhood relationships are directly linked to wellness and recovery. We must ensure that everyone has the same chance at recovery. Our “I” must become our “we.” Recovery Month educates oth ers about recovery from mental health, substance use, and co-oc curring disorders, the effectiveness of treatment and recovery support services, and that recovery is pos sible.

Owner Michael Junge, who was born in California but has lived in Branson most of his life, has been cutting hair since 2010. He re members the feeling of camarade rie he experienced even as a child, going to the barbershop with his dad, talking with other guys in the shop, but as he grew older, he went with his mom to a salon instead because he found the stylists more accommodating as they asked questions to make sure the haircut was exactly what the client want ed. He eventually became a stylist himself, and Lost Boys combines the best of both worlds—the fel lowship of the barbershop with a salon stylist’s flexibility to work with the customer’s needs.
By CINDY THOMAS, Staff Writer
“People don’t talk much with each other anymore,” said Junge. “Everyone is on their devices, and Covid restrictions just made it that much worse.” As those restrictions relaxed, Lost Boys Barber Co. was also able to purchase the Hollister location; the concept has become more popular, and the larger building has room both for more stylists and more space to enjoy companionship. An upstairs room already has a pool table and space to relax with a guys’ hangout feel, and a mini-bar and balcony area are planned soon. The main stylist area has a similar masculine vibe, with good books and guy-friendly décor, although it’s also intention ally kept more family-friendly for moms who bring kids and young teens
Thein.shop name, Lost Boys, is partly a movie reference, but was also inspired by a mission trip Junge participated in, reaching out to kids from rough backgrounds living in a halfway house. He is thankful for the opportunity to continue serving others, since the shop helps him financially sup port such work while providing a much-needed fellowship opportu nity right in Hollister.
Appointments can be made on line through the website, https:// www.lostboysbarber.co, where clients can also learn more about each stylist and request their favor ite, or call 417-320-6465. There is also an active Facebook presence updated with special events and announcements, so check often as new features—and additional stylists to accommodate a growing clientele—are added.
Lost Boys is primarily appoint ment-based to allow stylists to do a good job on the haircut with out wasting time; another mem ory from Junge’s early barber shop years is that he and his dad frequently had to wait a while.
If you could go to a friend’s house, hang out in the garage or man cave for a while, and get a really great haircut while there, would you be interested? If you answered “Yes,” then you’ll want to check out Lost Boys Barber Co. at 259 Birdcage Walk in Hollister.

“Some people intentionally show up early or plan extra time to en joy some company,” he says, “but we realize people can’t put that into their schedule every time.” Walk-ins are accepted if a stylist is available, but each day’s bookings typically fill quickly.
The Berry family operates the Empty Wineglass Red Angus with help from son and daughter-inlaw Garrett and Janelle Berry. The Berrys have three farm properties in Taney County, 128 acres on the home farm in Rueter, 211 acres in Cedarcreek and another 143 acres in Rueter. The majority of the cat tle in their 125 head cow/calf op eration are Red Angus – both com mercial and registered seedstock.
The annual event is sponsored by five partner agencies: the Mis souri Farm Bureau; the Missouri Department of Agriculture; the Missouri State Fair Commission ers; the MU College of Agricul ture, Food and Natural Resources; and MU Extension. The event showcases the im pact that Missouri farm families have on the economy and heritage of the state, said Missouri State Fair Director Mark Wolfe. “These families are involved in agricul ture activities in their communi ties and are active participants in local outreach and extension. As the premier showcase for Missouri agriculture, the Missouri State Fair is most certainly the appropriate place to celebrate these families.”

Kevin Agan, Dean of Students says “We are so pleased to have this playground in place not only as a blessing to our students, but as a tribute to Dr. Tim Taylor. Dr. Taylor played a crucial role in Leg acy, and his influence is still pres ent today. This playground will serve as a constant reminder of his willingness to be used as a “tool” for our Heavenly Father, Christ Je sus. Our desire is to fill this school with families that love the Lord, and seek a biblical foundation in their children’s education and ev ery other aspect of their life.”
Legacy Academy builds new playground in honor of Dr. Tim Taylor Legacy Academy, a Classical Christian school in Branson, has constructed and furnished Legacy’s first playground at their new cam pus at the former Skyline Baptist Church with funds from the Tim Taylor Memorial Building fund. Dr. Taylor was Legacy Acad emy’s Headmaster from August 2020 to August 2021 when he passed from COVID unexpected ly. To ensure that his desire and vision for Legacy Academy con tinues, his wife Lisa Taylor set up the Tim Taylor Memorial Building fund so that people could give to the one thing that Tim was so pas sionate about, carrying on a Lega cy and raising the next generation in a Christ-centered school. Lisa Taylor, now Legacy’s Board President and Dr. Taylor’s wife said,”People were so gener ous in their giving to the building fund in memory of Tim. He al ways said, ‘Maximize your im pact. Make every day have eternal significance.’ I know he would love the fact that this playground is building strong relationships. That was always what he was doing. His impact is still making eternal differences in the lives of the staff and students at Legacy.”

Corner: Meet a new friend at Paola Lane
bransonglobe.com SEPT. 2, 2022 • 37
It’s always fun to meet a new friend, and even more fun when it also brings a new source of beauti ful and inspirational thoughts and ideas! I want to introduce Laura Prather, editor of “Paola Lane.” Here is her story; you just might find it inspires you to pursue your dreams. –Cindy When I was young, a teenager, I used to image being a photojour nalist for National Geographic. I took a few photography classes but was never very good. English was my worst subject. Seeing that photojournalism requires ex cellent photography and writing skills, I let that dream go. But I never stopped writing or taking photos. It was casual, for fun, but I did it. I have stacks of journals and throughout the years, was al ways the token photographer on trips and outings. I often browsed photo journals and magazines and collected shelves of books. As life became more hectic and complicated, I was reading books less and less. My interest in photog raphy waned—I didn’t have time or reason to improve my skills. I forgot about my dreams. Life be came about getting by and doing what was needed. When I became a single mother, I started a little cleaning business to meet a specific need I had at the moment. For me, starting a business was about sur vival, not vision. Then, as the years progressed, I tried my hand at var ious other businesses, each one de signed to help me with needs in the moment, but also, in the back of my mind, hoping to catch up to an elu sive dream. What that dream was, I wasn’t sure. What I didn’t realize was that everything I was doing be came preparation for the next step or phase in my life. In March of 2022, I attended a photography workshop retreat. Ini tially I was there for practical rea sons (aka survival), but as I quieted my mind I had an AHA! moment. Hunching over in my chair, tears welled up in my eyes as forgotten dreams from 35 years prior flood ed my mind. At that moment, I was one month away from publishing my first issue of a magazine. Most of the articles were written by me. I even took many of the photos. While I’m not working for Na tional Geographic or any other big-name magazine, here I am launching my very own! I was becoming that photojournalist my younger self longed to be. That dream was buried under decades of dust but in a rush of revelation, camera in hand, notes on maga zine ideas to the side, I awakened with the understanding that God was giving me the desires of my heart. Desires I didn’t know, or at least forgot, I had. None of which would have been remotely possi ble if I had not been relentlessly building businesses and acquiring skills over the years. (I call them my “wax on-wax off” years). Ev erything I had bootstrapped and learned in order to survive was now being brought together to ful fill a dream - and I didn’t even see it coming. God is good like that. Connect with Laura, browse some beautiful thoughts and pho tos, and sign up for “Paola Lane” at www.paolalane.com.

leys, both big and small. And, with strength, support and hope from the people we love, we are resilient.
If a parent feels inadequate to teach phonics, that parent can ask the child to teach the par ent. The child learns the sounds at school and usually knows them but simply needs review and practice for reinforcement. Sometimes a parent may need to put a finger over part of a word to help the child break the word down. Much of reading depends on the vision of a child...both the physical vision and the way the child sees the word in his/ her mind. By covering part of a word, the child can see parts of the word in the mind rather than just seeing a bunch of letters of theThealphabet.bestthing any parent can do to help with a child’s read ing is simply have that child read, read, read. Older children can read stories to younger chil dren or to parents. The children need to be familiar with the lo cal library and have enjoyable books on hand to read at all times. Reading at home should generally be easy reading. If a child does not know five words on a page, that book is too dif ficult for the child. Reading easy books develops a feeling of self-satisfaction. The child becomes more fluent and de velops speed. Usually, it is best to leave the difficult books for the school to handle. Encour aging a child to read enjoyable and easy books develops a good foundation for reading in years to come. If reading is always difficult, the child will shy away fromParentsit. should see that books are available for children all the time. Books should be in the car, so that when a child has to wait for a parent somewhere, the child can be reading. Children can help make and read grocery lists. They can read directions on packages to Mom or Dad when meals are being prepared. Par ents can find many opportunities to help children with reading and need not hesitate to do so.
Train Up a Child: Helping children with reading homework
Many parents shy away from helping their children with homework. Often, this is be cause they are afraid they will not do it the way the teacher wants, or perhaps they feel in adequate. There are six basic subject areas for which children may receive homework. They are reading, math, language, so cial studies, writing and science. In this column, I would like to make comments about helping children with reading. It is helpful to understand how reading is taught in schools today. In the past there were arguments about whether sight reading or phonetic reading was best. Actually, both are used. There are certain words that children should simply memo rize and learn by sight. A good basis of phonics is absolutely necessary for a child to be able to decode words on his/her own.
One of the best ways to help a child with sight words is to use flash cards. Teachers can give parents a list of words that children should know by sight. Children can make their own flash cards, or flash cards may be purchased. The advantage for a child to make the cards is that the child learns about spelling and writing at the same time as the words are learned. The ad vantage of purchasing the cards is that the print is similar to what the child sees on the pag es in books. Either or both are helpful.

bransonglobe.com SEPT. 2, 2022 • 43 SMAC will feature mixed media artist in solo exhibit
Submitted to Branson Globe
The Southern Missouri Arts Connection (SMAC) is excit ed to host Tenille Blair-Neff in a solo exhibit in September titled “Middle Age.” The show will run from September 2-30, with the opening reception the Friday eve ning, September 2 from 6-9 p.m. The SMAC gallery is located at 7 Downing Street in Hollister. Middle Age is an exploration of the sandwich years of aging parents and raising children. Aging parents need more attention on one side while children need support, en couragement and guidance on the other. It can be a stressful, hard sea son in an adult’s life, but also filled with happiness. Through this show, Blair-Neff will take the viewer on a journey of middle age as she has experienced it. “My work for this exhibit represents my felt experi ences of this stage of life,” she said. “It is a meditation on the past and how we remember those we have lost, as well as reflecting on how we will be remembered.” For this show, Blair-Neff incor porates an eclectic mix of materials that speak of her past identity as a sculptor as well as collage, paint ing, drawing, animation and instal lation. The work builds upon and expands the styles and themes from her artistic journey through the years. She is an accomplished artist who has participated in more than 50 na tional and international exhibitions. This exhibit will make her fourth solo show. She is also a creative arts therapist, psychoanalyst and profes sional counselor in Branson. Both viewing of the exhibit and attending the reception are free and open to the public. The Vin tage Paris Coffee kiosk will also be on hand for opening night. This year SMAC is highlighting worthy nonprofit organizations. This month, we are spotlighting the Child Abuse Prevention and Elimination Foundation (CAPE). CAPE is a nonprofit organization designed to bridge the gap be tween funding and mental health care so that no child or family goes without the care desperately needed to heal from abuse. Southern Missouri Arts Con nection is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit lo cal center, connecting individuals with the arts for the benefit of all.

Disasters can happen anywhere, anytime. You can be ready by visiting redcross. org/prepare.“Morepowerful climate driven occurrences are happening across the U.S. than ever before,” said Guy Triano, Interim Regional Ex ecutive. “In fact, there have been more climate-related disasters in the nation over the past two de cades than in any other country. It’s vital that everyone take steps to be prepared.”
• Build your emergency kit with a gallon of water per person, per day, nonperish able food, a flashlight and a battery-powered radio. Also include a first aid kit, medica tions, supplies for infants or pets, a multi-purpose tool and personal hygiene items. And don’t forget to add copies of important papers, cell phone chargers, blankets, maps of the area and emergency con tact information.
“Be ready to not only help your loved ones, but your neighbors too,” said Triano. “Join us as a Disaster Action Team volunteer, learn lifesaving skills by signing up for first aid or CPR classes, or make an appointment to give blood or platelets.”

Sam Felstead was asleep when she was woken by her seven-year-old cat Billy at 4:30 a.m.She realized she was unable to move her body and had a shoot ing pain down her right side so called out to her mom Karen for help.Karen then rushed the 42-year-old to hospital where doctors told her she had suffered a heart attack in her sleep—and she believes Billy’s swift ac tions saved her life.
