Prayer March organizers encourage continued prayer for our community and nation

By CYNTHIA J. THOMAS, Staff Writer

Branson area residents repre senting several different churches and ministries were blessed with a beautiful Ozarks Saturday after noon on October 15 for the annual Prayer March. Marchers gathered at the Walmart parking lot on W. 76 Country Blvd. for opening worship and prayer, then proceed ed east toward downtown Bran son. They were joined by other participants who drove from stop to stop and gathered to pray, and even a few visitors to the area who walked along for a few blocks to pray in unity.

Some of the most appreciative onlookers were those arriving or leaving the Veterans Memorial

Museum, as several expressed appreciation or paused to agree in prayer for our nation. A theme of unity among Christians was a big focus as area pastors and ministry leaders led in prayer at each stop, with everyone agreeing our nation is facing unprecedented challenges and only turning to God can help. Much prayer centered on youth, including prayers for area school leaders, teachers and families.

Marchers ended the three-plus mile trek at Branson City Hall, where Ron Howard provided mu sic and the closing prayers called for continued unity among believ ers, especially for the approaching elections. Organizers Gena Hedg peth and Jay Scribner encouraged Christians to continue in prayer

and to plan now for next year’s Prayer March, October 21, 2023.

The March is an annual event on the third Saturday of October, so keep in touch by checking the Facebook page and the website, www.bransonprayermarch.com.

Annual POW/MIA Service of Remembrance set for Nov. 8

Submitted to Branson Globe Veterans, friends, and families of those noted by the Department of Defense as unaccounted for since 1914, will gather for an out door service at the Welk Resort on Tuesday, November 8.

The solemn remembrance ser vice will feature a wreath laying and special guest speaker, in addi tion to the Bell Tolling Ceremony in front of the replica Vietnam Me morial Wall in the theatre’s back garden area.

Guest speaker and Navy veteran, David Arzani, served as a TM1(SS/ DV) from 1970 thru 1978. David’s grandfather was a ship’s captain when his vessel was requisitioned by the British Navy in World War II, before it was chartered by U.S. forces to fight the war. Captain Histed had a brilliant war record, with his ship surviving numerous Japanese bombings and a kamikaze attempt. But that wasn’t the end of this family’s story.

Hear the “rest of the story,” as

he heard it from his mother, at 17 years old, just before he left home, a young sailor, during Vietnam.

The event is sponsored by Welk Resort Branson, also now known as The Lodges at Timber Ridge, 1984 Historic Hwy 165, Branson. There is NO admittance charge and the public is welcome. It will all be outdoors, weather per mitting, and will move inside if weather is extreme.

House of Hope again welcomes guests on cold nights

By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer

Branson’s House of Hope Warm ing Center is once again open for the season, offering dinner, break fast and a warm place to sleep to those in need in our community.

Earlier this year, it appeared that the Warming Center might not open, as the organization needed to make some upgrades to the cur rent facility. With finances becom ing an issue, House of Hope made the heart-wrenching decision to remain closed this coming winter. However, upon hearing of the or ganization’s need, the community stepped up to help House of Hope to continue to provide much-need ed services.

Private donors committed to help

ing the organization finance needed upgrades. A number of fundraisers, the most recent of which was a golf tournament, were also a source of funds for the project.

“The golf tournament was a success,” explained Alex Sprin kle, House of Hope’s Services Director. “There were 28 golf teams who participated in the event. In addition, many busi nesses in the area donated to the cause by being hole sponsors and donating raffle items. The Lake 30 team took first place in the tournament. We are already mak ing plans for next year’s tourna ment.”

The funds raised from the golf tournament, a recent concert,

private donations and other fund raising efforts afforded House of Hope the funds they needed to begin work on the project, which was what the City of Branson’s Planning and Zoning Committee was waiting for.

“On October 4, 2022, Planning and Zoning approved our Warm ing Center permits. This Special Use Permit allows us to reopen our facility on nights when the temperature is projected to reach 32 degrees or below,” said Sprin kle. “As part of the Special Use Permit, House of Hope will in stall a new fire hydrant, sprin kler system, fire-resistant ceiling panels, an additional bathroom,

County Library Board seeks input through survey

By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer

The County Library Board, appointed to help the Taneyhills Library become a certified, tax supported library, is seeking input from the community, to determine what area residents want in a pub lic library.

The County Library Board has created a brief survey and is ask ing the community to participate.

“We want to know the commu nity’s vision for a future library, including their ideas for what a library should look like, what ser vices it should offer, and how it can best connect with the people

in the community,” noted Coun ty Library Board member Debbie Redford. “The results of the sur vey will provide insight into what voters want and would be willing to ratify to make the library tax supported. We are seeking input from all ages and demographics, and both library and non-library users, and would appreciate it if people would forward this survey to friends, family and organiza tions to which they belong for wide distribution. We sincerely thank you for taking the time to fill it out.”

Said Marcia Schemper-Carlock,

Library Director, “The Taneyhills Library continually tries to keep up with the requests for more ser vices by its users such as educa tional classes (which always have a waiting list), e-books and access to online resources. However, our financial resources are limited to donations, grants and the income from our thrift and book stores. We welcome people who have not seen our library for several years to come out and see what we have to offer.”

The survey can be found on the Taneyhills Library website, http:// www.thlibrary.org.

Attorney General John Ashcroft and pro-life activist Dr. Alveda King. Members of the community, Veterans, campus family and stu dents attended the ceremony.

Ashcroft lauded the College for taking a leadership role in society: “Thankfully, the College of the Ozarks and Christian institutions in higher education understand and teach that rights, responsibil ities and accountability transcend any human source,” Ashcroft said.

Several featured guests wel comed Johnson and highlighted their excitement for this new era for College of the Ozarks.

Dr. William Mahoney, president of Cox Medical Center Branson, spoke on the importance of com munity partnership.

“I am confident that Dr. John son and his family will make their mark yet hold tight to tradition, that pioneering and patriotic spir it that College of the Ozarks was

founded upon,” Mahoney said.

Senior J.D. Kennedy, student body president and conservation and wildlife management major, welcomed the new president on behalf of the students. “In just the brief time that Dr. Johnson has been here, he has made evident his desire to protect the foundation that was set before him as well as his willingness to lead us in growth,” Kennedy said.

Following the greetings from staff, faculty and alumni, Dr. Jerry C. Davis, who served the College as president for 34 years prior to Johnson, gave the chancellor’s greeting and assisted in presenting the presidential medallion.

“The challenge for Dr. Johnson, and in fact all of us, is to do our best to maintain College of the Ozarks as a lighthouse to the na tion and not let it become a mirror reflecting what is going on in our culture,” Davis said.

After a time of prayer for the president and his family, Johnson issued his address as the 17th pres

ident of College of the Ozarks.

“Since our founding, God has cho sen to use men and women in this dis tinctive brand of Christian higher edu cation in this special place,” Johnson said. “From our earliest days, we have faced challenges and trials that have caused other institutions to close their doors and perhaps lose their way. But God has sustained us and provided for the rich educational experiences we know today as College of the Ozarks.”

He continued by speaking on the five pillars of the College and his vision to further extend each of these goals into the future during his time as president. With regard to the academic pillar, Johnson highlighted the unique mindset of College of the Ozarks.

“I have served at some fantastic places over my academic career, but never have I seen the same in tentionality in integrating faith and learning,” Johnson said. “When it comes to faith integration, I see a day when we are the model for other Christian colleges around the world. Matthew 5:16 states,

‘Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your father who is in heaven.’ In short, I see College of the Ozarks as a leading voice within the Christian College landscape for liberal arts professional programs that em body faith integration and a Chris tian worldview.”

The ceremony concluded with a performance by the College of the Ozarks Chapel Choir along with a benediction by Dr. Justin Car swell, vice president of Christian ministries and dean of the chapel. An ice cream reception followed for guests to congratulate and greet the newly inaugurated pres ident and his family.

Dear Dave, I need help. I am way be hind on my basic utilities and my tax es. I have tried to start the baby steps, but everything is so overwhelming right now that it is easy to get discour aged. I am 33, I live in Los Angeles, and I average around $30,000 a year

Dave Says... Help! I’m behind on everything

doing behind-the-scenes work in the entertainment industry. My total debt is about $10,000. Can you give me some advice?

Cameron

Dear Cameron,

I know you’re in a scary place right now, brother. But I’m glad you’re getting on board and that you want to move in the right di rection with your finances.

Before you start the baby steps, you should get current on all your bills. Make a list of all the bills you’re late on and how much it will take to get current on each one. Then, create a written, month ly budget. Once that’s done and all your expenses and income are accounted for, you’re going to squeeze every penny you can from

there and work your late list from smallest to largest until every thing’s current. You’re going to feel a sense of relief—and accomplish ment—every time you flip one of these bills. And believe it or not, the act of simply making a list will help reduce the stress you’re feel, because just by doing that you’ve established the size of the dragon. This dragon must die, and you are the knight who’s going to kill it.

But listen, there are two sides to this equation—income and outgo. No offense, but $30,000 a year as an income in Los Angeles stinks. You’ve got to do something to make more money. Hey, $10,000 would literally change your life.

Not everyone can say that. The bad news is, you’ve got $10,000

worth of debt. The good news is, you’ve got only $10,000 worth of debt. I’m not talking about some little minimum wage deal, either. I want you making some real mon ey. Don’t do anything illegal, or something that would compromise your morals, but get after making some good money.

And long term? Dude, you might want to think about taking a step up in your industry or even a full-blown career change. I mean, you don’t want to be making $30,000 a year and still working a side job when you’re 50, right?

You could be debt-free, and have a much better life, in a year or less, Cameron. Go do this.

I want you to win!

—Dave

Stock Market Insights: Selling in a downturn

BY DR. RICHARD L. BAKER, AIF® Founder & Senior Wealth Advisor at Steadfast Wealth Management

Our tube TV wouldn’t die. We were late to the flatscreen TV phase of entertainment

because we had a perfectly good tube TV that wouldn’t quit, and the financial guy in me couldn’t justify replacing it. Everyone in the fami ly wanted a flat screen, but our old TV wouldn’t die. I think my kids even prayed for it to quit working, but we wanted them to understand that a flat-screen TV was a want, not a need. Unfortunately, this market is making investors think about “wants” as well.

With the market down, retirees dreaming about RVs and exotic vacations are trying to decide if those are needs or wants. Because

cashing out of stocks in a down market can significantly harm a portfolio.

Selling your shares when values are dropping creates two prob lems for retirees. First, you must sell more shares than usual to get the same amount of cash that you would have when the market was higher. Second, selling more shares than usual limits your abil ity to take advantage of the next market rally.

I suggest avoiding unnecessary withdrawals from your retire ment accounts while the market

is so volatile. There’s no perfect approach to taking retirement in come during a downturn, but here are a few ways to lessen the dam age when you need to take a dis tribution.

1. If you must take money out of the market, take as little as possible.

2. Withdraw your cash savings first before selling stock shares.

3. Cash out a certificate of de posit (CD) or maturing bonds because you only pay taxes on the interest.

BY CYNTHIA J. THOMAS Staff Writer

Over the past few weeks, I’ve received newslet ters from some Messianic Jewish groups I enjoy following, about the feasts observed this time of year. At this writing, we’re part way through Sukkot, the Feast of

Reflections: Jesus did the hard part

Booths. Although I’m not a schol ar on Jewish practices, my under standing is that according to God’s instructions to Moses, the seventh month of the Jewish year was to begin with the Feast of Trumpets, followed by the Day of Atonement, and then the Feast of Booths. This progression was to call Israel’s at tention to God following the busy time of harvest; focus on sacrifices to cover their sins; and then live in temporary shelters as a reminder of God’s provision.

These newsletters happened to coincide with my study of the Old Testament book of Numbers. As I read the details of those feasts, my takeaway was this: It was a LOT

of work. Just reading Numbers 29 was mind-boggling—how many of which animal to offer, what time of day, how much grain offer ing and drink offering to accom pany which sacrifice, and more. No wonder a whole tribe of Israel (the Levites) was assigned to those duties!

I enjoy following these Old Testament rituals, though, for one huge reason: They all point to the coming of Jesus Christ and his death on the cross. His self-sacri fice did the thing we cannot do, the thing the animal sacrifices could at best do temporarily, in giving us a relationship with God. The author of Hebrews writes, “Christ was

sacrificed once to take away the sins of many . . . .” (9:28, NIV).

Jesus did the part we couldn’t do. But he didn’t do it so we could continue in our sin without having to worry about consequences. We have to follow his example. As Jesus sacrificed himself, so we also have to sacrifice our selfish desires: “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bod ies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not con form to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renew ing of your mind” (Romans 12:12, NIV).

Easy? No. Surrounding cul ture has always made sure of that, from ancient Israel to the early Church and still today. Worth it? Yes. Another phrase that appears often in the Old Tes tament is that the burnt offerings were a “pleasing aroma” to God. The sacrifice, and the work re quired to perform it, represented the people’s devotion, and God was pleased. Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians refers to the Christian witness as the “aroma of Christ.” Jesus has done the hard part, but as we prioritize our relationship with God, we can be that aroma, pleasing to God and a witness to others.

Been Thinkin’ About... The new path into the forest

BY JOSHUA HESTON StateoftheOzarks Media & Design

Istopped by my buddy Greg’s place the other morning and,

in the process, took my puppy for a walk in his yard. His yard is bordered by mountain forest stretching out toward Long Creek and Arkansas. On the yard’s north side, past the barbed wire and a black cherry tree and the winding poison ivy just beginning to turn yellow and crimson, Skye spied a path through the fence and into the forest.

The forest has always represent ed the unknown. The place beyond that which can be seen. In fairy

tales, the forest is where witches and wolves lurk. Often overlooked today, the forest is also where we find the wild man, the green man, the hairy man, the one who shows us who we truly are.

All are daunting, difficult ideas.

The puppy tugs his heavy red leash, the leash, a symbol of mo dernity, of domesticity. I tug back. This is not my property. This is not my forest. This forest has no reason to know me. My thoughts pull hard as well.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: ‘One American veteran’s viewpoint’

Iam thankful to be born and raised in the USA; however, there are those in my family who were not so fortunate. I under stand why many people desire to come here and become part of the population, and hopefully, a legit imate citizen. We have a poorly managed immigration system here in the USA, which needs to be improved and hopefully will be corrected.

I am a retired, disabled and grateful veteran. There are many things in our immigration system I don’t understand and some cause confusion. Many countries allow legal immigration, but very few have the abundance of benefits the

USA offers. None have allowed 4.9 million to enter in two years. I did some basic research on im migration from our government website which was intriguing, surprising and sad.

I learned that not all immigrants here (4.9 million in the past two years) are properly vetted with fin gerprints, photos and background checks. A DNA identity test would be beneficial. Further, it is difficult to verify any past criminal histo ry. Medical health and disease is sues are also difficult and timely to verify. This is a concern for all citizens. Many worldwide diseas es such as polio, Ebola, AIDS and Covid require some testing in the

general populous. Why not test and inoculate immigrants prior to entry, rather than offer immunity later? The number of 4.9 million people is more than the combined population of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. This number is alarm ing for only two years.

I further discovered that once accepted at the border, immigrants get a tax-free stipend of $1,700 a month average for married, less for single people (around $1,100$1,300), which depends on the state they settle in. They also are eligible for free medical, food and social system benefits. These income and benefits continue for approximately five years, and then

It is late winter, 1987. My mom and I, bundled against a damp Il linois chill, cut the barbed wire fence separating known yard from unknown forest. The act is oddly ceremonial and we enter a new world. My parents had pur chased that 22 acres of river bluff forest adjoining our property, making it — if only for a gener ation — our own.

A jaybird calls in the present moment. The scrub oak and yel low pine and purple asters stir be

neath a tall sky. A sharp north wind is turning the warm morning chill.

All those years ago, stepping into that unknown forest was ex citing. I was too young to worry much, to question the journey. That forest would become a friend, a place where I learned many of my first important les sons. A place where I would first face myself.

Perhaps not surprisingly, to morrow is little different. Each day a new path into the forest.

they may apply for citizenship. Furthermore, they get a free cell phone. After 20 years and/or mil itary service, citizenship is auto matic, but they need to apply. The benefits also include tax-exempt status from any additional outside job including their $1,200 stipend during those five years. The cher ry option is having a free bus ride, in some cases, plane ticket to a city of their choice along with a free cell phone.

The current administration atti tude of open border security con cerns me and many others, as sin gle males (not well vetted), many (18-40-plus) have a free plane ticket to Atlanta, Houston and

Miami, flown in the late night hours. This is a grand opportu nity for possible crime and drug recruitment. The latest reports of large quantities of Fentanyl, 95% alone, crossing the southern bor der is enough to poison the entire population of the USA. Then there are other drugs such as co caine, heroin, etc. These are only the reported and seized drugs. Let us consider incarceration rate that 700 per 100,000. Now cal culate 700 x 10 = 7,000 per one million x 4.9 = 34,300 criminal possibilities.

Well, that depends on who’s determining the “emphasis” and one’s definition of “fair.” Is the marketing emphasis what the city’s elected Board of Aldermen (Board) wants? Does the definition of “fair” include the city’s representation in the current marketing process in proportion to the marketing funds contributed by the city? In an Ole Seagull’s opinion, the answer to these ques tions, in order, is “No” and “Yes,”

Is the City of Branson’s marketing emphasis being determined fairly?

making the answer to the headline questions an overwhelming “No!”

“Well, Seagull, I sure hope you have something to back that up.” “Well, let’s see what we have.”

For example, at their Octo ber 26, 2021, meeting, the Board approved a resolution officially designating November 1 through January 7 as “Ozark Mountain Christmas.” Among other things, that resolution emphasizes that Ozark Mountain Christmas re flects the values of our communi ty, including faith, flag, family, and fun and that entities utilizing City Tourism Tax dollars for marketing “will continue to use the name and promote Ozark Mountain Christ mas whenever and wherever pos sible.

At a public meeting earlier this month, the Board expressed its concern that the marketing for Ozark Mountain Christmas this year was not consistent with the

intent of that resolution. The rep resentative speaking for the city’s contractor handling its marketing said they didn’t realize that the resolution intended to take the marketing of Ozark Mountain Christmas to another level. It was a miss communication. The MOC and other marketing people did not recognize it as something that had to be added to the creative.

As the discussion continued, Al dermen Clay Cooper and Marshall Howden expressed their opinions that Branson’s marketing, in gen eral, should emphasize some of the things that they believe attract people to Branson –faith, family and flag. An Ole Seagull believes, in its kindest sense, that the vid

eo of that meeting shows that the contractor’s representative did not share an inclination toward that emphasis.

“But what about the fairness of the city’s representation in the cur rent marketing process in propor tion to the marketing funds it con tributes?” “The figures themselves speak to the fairness of that.”

For the last three years, 20192021, through Tourism Communi ty Enhancement District (TCED) and City Tourism taxes, the city of Branson and Taney County have contributed about 88% of the over $33 million used for marketing. This compares to the 12% that In dian Point and Stone County con tribute. Yet, by state law, Branson

and Taney County only get to ap point four members, or 57%, to the TCED, while the Village of Indian Point and Stone County appoints three, or 43%.

“Wow, Seagull, that representa tion does appear to be dispropor tionate as compared to what each is paying to market.” “It sure is and it just gets worse!”

The TCED appoints an 11-mem ber Marketing Over Sight Com mittee, MOC, that, apparently, has the responsibility for approving and overseeing the marketing ac tivities of the TCED’s contractor, including creative aspects and the emphasis of such marketing.

Table Rock Quilts of Honor: Showing honor with a quilt

By CYNTHIA J. THOMAS, Staff Writer

As November approaches,

Branson gears up to greet veterans and families, host special events, and celebrate heroes at one of the

nation’s largest Veterans Day pa rades. For many groups, Veterans Week is just a more focused ver

sion of something they do all year long—honoring those who served. One such group is Table Rock Quilts of Honor.

As an affiliate of the nationwide Quilts of Honor organization, Ta ble Rock Quilts of Honor makes quilts to be presented to veterans as a tangible symbol of appre ciation. Presentations are often done at veterans’ group meetings, sometimes at nursing homes, other times at a restaurant surrounded by the veteran’s family and friends.

World War II veteran Jack Ham lin of Springfield was one of two veterans who received a quilt at a September 24 Music on the Lake concert sponsored by Veterans of the Ozarks. Hamlin, who will turn 101 in November, was in the Bat tle of Normandy. Sam Forrester, a 24-year Army veteran, also re ceived a quilt at the concert.

A presentation of 11 quilts is planned with Branson Veterans of America on October 24 at Golden Corral. Other upcoming presenta tions will be at the Cape Fair Vet erans Celebration on November 5 and the Branson Veterans Day Parade on November 11. Dates of presentations, along with pho

tos of recipients and the beautiful quilts, are posted regularly to the group’s Facebook page.

The quilts are much appreciated by every recipient, but often seem particularly meaningful to Viet nam veterans, many of whom did not receive a good welcome home after their tour of duty or when the war ended. USMC Veteran Lonnie Juneau, who received a quilt at a Veterans of the Ozarks meeting last August, said that even while serving stateside in Washington, D.C., during the Vietnam War, she and others in her office were not allowed to walk unescorted due to the unpopularity of the war.

Larry Andrews, who served two Vietnam tours from 1967 to 1970, also received a quilt at the August meeting. “In 1970, arriv ing home at the airport in uniform, I remember hearing a woman scream ‘Baby killer!’” said An drews. “Some people I thought were friends avoided me. Those were painful times. Today, howev er, I felt honored to receive such a beautiful recognition of my ser vice. I thank the wonderful people who invested so much time, work

of O showcases student-made products at open house

By CYNTHIA J. THOMAS, Staff Writer

On Saturday, October 15, Col lege of the Ozarks hosted its Fall Open House, showcasing stu dent-made products around the campus. Guests included local residents hoping to start their Christmas shopping at the event, as well as visitors to the area who happened to pick a great time to stop by for a campus visit or lunch at the Keeter Center.

Guests started their visit at the Keeter Center, where they could enter a drawing for a prize bas ket, enjoy a free cup of coffee, and sample recipes featuring student-made products. They could then pick up a map direct ing them to several other loca tions around the campus. The Fruitcake and Jelly Kitchen was open to the public, along with the Ralph Foster Museum, the Stained Glass and Candle Shop, and the Edwards Mill and Gen eral Store; and each location featured live demonstrations throughout the event.

It was also a beautiful day for browsing the gorgeous fall selec tion at the greenhouses located near the other open house ven ues. More than one out-of-town visitor was heard to observe, “I

had no idea so much went on here,” or a similar comment. Other visitors stayed to enjoy the patriotic play, “Flight to Faith: The Story of A Vietnam P.O.W.”

If you missed the open house, not to worry—you can still shop student-made products to enjoy in your home or give as a unique Christmas gift. Visit https:// store.cofo.edu or stop by the award-winning Keeter Center; gift shop hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. You can also still plan to see “Flight to Faith”; check the cal endar for remaining performance dates and times through mid-No vember by clicking on “special events” at www.keetercenter. edu; tickets are not required but seating is limited for this inspira tional story.

Shoot for Possibilities helps special members of community

By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer

A fun event at Ozark Shooters raised money to help some of our community’s special residents.

Shoot for Possibilities was held last weekend to raise money to help Cedar Creek Coffee and Cof fee Creations get back on their

feet with a new coffee house. Ce dar Creek Coffee, a local coffee roasting business, employs those with special needs. It has long been a dream of those running the business to have their own coffee shop, in order to provide jobs for more employees who have special abilities, as well as offer on-thejob-training that would help those same employees later find jobs elsewhere in the community. Ce dar Creek Coffee teamed up with Elevate Branson to run a coffee shop, Coffee Creations, on their campus. While the beverages and food were excellent, the venture was short-lived as those involved cited a need for a larger space that would better accommodate some

of their employees who had mo bility issues.

Plans are underway for a new Coffee Creations coffee house to be opened soon. Funds raised at the weekend event will help the organization throughout the early months.

“Our goal was to raise $5,000 in order to have a firm foundation for payroll once the cafe opens back up here in the very near future,” explained Drew McClintock of Cedar Creek Coffee. “The funds will help offset days that our sales are not enough to pay payroll. With no sales at all, the $5,000 can cover payroll for the individ uals with disabilities that Coffee Creations employs for a little over three months. Hopefully, we don’t run days with not a single custom er. So, we feel that these funds will cover the cafe until we get busy in the new year.”

A total of 32 shooters participat

ed in the fundraising event, twice as many as last year’s Shoot for Possibilities fundraiser.

“We also invited others to come have lunch, as Fuddruckers was cooking, and CAM donated our food,” noted McClintock. “Over all, I would say we had close to 60 people. At Ozark Shooters, we shoot 100 clays. They normally set up ten stations, and we shoot five sets of two clays at each station. We score as individuals, and we had first, second and third place trophies for three tiers. Everyone that shoots is scored in one group. Then, once that event is done, the total shooters’ scores were totaled.

Ozark Shooters puts everyone into a list, based on score, then divides the total shooters by three, in this case. We had donated gift cards from Godfather’s in Nixa, and we used those along with our hand made trophies for first place win

Reader’s Corner: Enjoy being indoors at the library

By CYNTHIA J. THOMAS, Staff Writer

This week’s cooler tempera tures prompted many folks to think about indoor activities; I lost count of the friends who shared pictures on Facebook and Instagram of their fireplaces on Monday evening!

A cozy evening by the fireplace calls for a great book.

Branson’s largest Oktoberfest: Celebrating 30 years of German festivities

Submitted to Branson Globe

Where can you find a little bit of German culture in Branson? At Faith Lutheran Church’s annual Oktoberfest on Sunday, October 23, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This year marks our 30th year for this celebration, and we’re ready to have a good time and share the taste of Germany!

It all began as a church dinner for the community at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, called the “Ger

man Sausage Dinner” featuring bratwurst and homemade potato salad. In 2009, in celebration of St. Paul’s Lutheran and Our Savior Lutheran’s 10th year anniversary coming together as Faith Luther an Church, the name of the event was changed to Faith Lutheran’s Oktoberfest, and it has grown into a fun festival for everyone.

“Oktoberfest is a great place for families to connect and have fun” said Joey Bluege, Associate Pastor at Faith Lutheran. “From the live polka music to bouncy houses, it’s

a lively place to get together.”

“Our Oktoberfest celebrates cul ture, preserves customs and pro motes a whole lot of family fun” said Gina Brandt, festival organiz er. Enjoy live music and dancing with “Happy John’s Polka Band.” The kids can have a good time too at the bouncy house, as well as outdoor games in the Kinderpark. Tractor driven wagon rides will also be available this year, weath er permitting. Easy and friendly games are planned for the adults that include the stein holding con

test and cake walks! The popular gift basket raffle and silent auc tion have exploded this year with many generous items that will be available to bid on. The drawing for these will be at 3 p.m., and you need not be present to win. “With so much German heritage in our congregation, great detail has been

used to keep this as authentic as possible, styling it after the “Hauf braus Haus” décor and atmosphere for the whole community to come enjoy.” Brandt smiles as she shares that “it takes many hours and much effort from our church vol unteers to bring so much detail to

OKTOBERFEST,

Local resident competing for title in Facebook contest

By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer

An Ozarks resident is advanc ing in a Facebook competition that could make her a big winner.

Cherie Stanley of Kissee Mills has advanced to the quar ter finals of The Face of Horror competition. Stanley is hoping to win first place in the contest, which would net her a $13,000 cash prize, a walk-on role in an independent film, a two night stay in Buffalo Bill’s House

from the iconic movie “Silence of the Lambs,” and a photoshoot for Rue Morgue Magazine with horror legend Kane Hodder. The competition supports the B+ Foundation, devoted to provid ing financial assistance to fami lies facing pediatric cancer.”

“I have survived five rounds so far, and I am currently in first place in my group,” Stanley ex plained. “Hundreds of contes tants have already been elimi

nated. I have managed to stay in first place in my group through out the contest, with the help of my friends and family voting.”

Stanley, a lover of horror movies and such shows as “The Twilight Zone,” “Alfred Hitchcock” and “Tales from the Crypt,” moved to the area from Kansas City.

“I have great memories of my mother and I having ‘Friday Fright Nights’ each week when I was a pre-teen and teenag er,” explained Stanley. “I have always loved Halloween and would start planning my cos tume months in advance when I was a kid.”

“As a kid, I was heavily in volved in theater,” Stanley con tinued. “As an adult, I worked at the Kansas State School for the Blind for 23 years. I was a deaf/ blind intervener, cheerleading coach, conducted many unique

activities (even made a haunt ed house with my students) and directed the school’s musicals. I worked two seasons doing a side job at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, at their Halloween Haunt as a character, as well as a character during Winterfest. It was during that time that I really began lov ing makeup. I was able to learn some skills there and some were just self-taught. When I first moved to the area, I worked a season at Branson Scarepark as a character and makeup artist. Currently, I work for the Branson School District in Special Edu cation, at Cedar Ridge interme diate School. Occasionally, you may also see me at the Pythian Castle in Springfield, in the Mur der Mystery Dinner Theater, or giving a school group a medieval castle tour.”

Stanley noticed a promotion for the Face of Horror competi tion on Facebook.

“I originally sent in one pic ture. After I was picked to be a contestant, I was given a page through Face of Horror’s web site where I could add multiple pictures and answer various

horror-related questions. Once the voting began, I have been posting about it and asking for votes, mainly just from friends and family. A lot of people have shared it, too, which has helped.”

Stanley has advanced to the Hellraiser Round of the competi tion, which continues until Octo ber 27. Two more rounds follow, with the grand prize winner be ing announced on November 10.

Stanley appreciates the com munity’s votes, as she strives to achieve her goal of becoming the 2022 Face of Horror. To vote for Stanley, look up Face of Horror competition on Facebook. Join the group, type in Cherie Stan ley’s name, and vote for her. You can vote one time per day.

“Obviously I would love to win this contest because it has an amazing prize package,” said Stanley. “But, it would really be awesome to be able to have the title of the first ever Face of Hor ror. To win, I need votes. There is a daily free vote, or votes that can be purchased, with a portion of the proceeds going to the B+ Foundation. Winning this would be so much fun!”

Noël Coward comedy play haunts Historic Owen Theatre Halloween weekend

Submitted to Branson Globe

The Branson Regional Arts Council presents the Noël Coward classic, “Blithe Spirit,” a hilarious Halloween weekend production!

The production is under the di rection of Carson Burkett with five performances: Thursday (7 p.m.), Friday (7 p.m.), Saturday (7 p.m.) and Sunday (2 p.m. & 7 p.m.) from October 27-30, 2022.

Jenni fer’s over-the-top, eccentric charac ter is a role made famous by the late Angela Lansbury in both London’s West End, Broadway and national tour productions.

As the (worldly and un-) person alities clash, Charles’ current wife, Ruth (played by Heather Hinnen), is accidentally killed, “passes over,” joins Elvira, and the two “blithe spirits” haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.

Cast members of “Blithe Spirit” are Josh Boulden (Charles Condo mine), Heather Hinnen (Ruth Con domine), Charis Boulden (Elvira), Jennifer Buttell (Madame Arcati), Jeffrey Stringer (Dr. Bradman),

Mindy Law (Mrs. Bradman) and Megan King (Edith).

Production members of “Blithe Spirit” are Kim Hale & Karie Dyke man (producers), Carson Burkett (director), Adam Hood (assistant director), C.J. McElhiney (stage manager), Judah Fox (sound tech

nician), Pamela Meadows (lighting design), Emily Rivere, Hallie Groff, Lexi Keaton (spotlight operators), Megan King (prop manager), Anika Bryceson (dostume design), Kyle Blanchard (set design), Sarah Briggs, Kyle Blanchard (set construction), Lorie Best (volunteer coordinator),

Josh Silvy (theatre inventory man ager) and Jim Barber (BRAC Exec utive Director & Marketing).

Branson Car Auction brings in thousands of car enthusiasts

By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer

The Branson Auction once again brought in thousands of car collec tors and enthusiasts to Branson for a spectacular weekend event. Owned and operated by Jim and Kathy Cox, the Branson Auction was founded in the early 1980s by Mark Trimble, a Branson pioneer. The auc tion, a longtime tradition in Branson, was purchased by Cox in 1988.

For Jim and Kathy, the Branson Auction was just an extension of their hobby of collecting, restoring and racing cars, and for years they have shared their enthusiasm with the many people who travel to Branson for the twice-a-year auc tion. This fall’s auction brought approximately 4,500 people to Branson and the Hilton Conven tion Center.

Jim and Kathy have made it their goal to provide the largest display of collectible cars under one roof twice per year, as well as to provide outstanding ser vice to all involved in the auc tion.

Save the date for the next Branson Auction, set for April 21 and 22, 2023, at the Branson Hilton Convention Center.

Taney County 100 Club benefits from charity auction

By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer

A fundraiser to benefit the Taney County 100 Club was held Thursday in conjunction with the Branson Auction, the premiere event for automobile collectors, held twice each year in down town Branson.

The fundraising event, held prior to the Branson Auction, found attendees bidding on a number of items.

“There were a total of 21 lots of items donated to the chari ty auction, bringing $17,000 to the Taney County 100 Club,” explained CoryRoebuck, Taney County 100 Club Board Chair. “Several items sold twice (or more) because the highest bidder won the item and then donated it back to be sold again. The record was two tickets to Silver Dollar City, which sold six times and brought in $700 total.”

Winning bidder of the auto mobile auctioned off on Thurs

day was Robert Theser of Texas, with the high bid of $6,500 for the Chevy S-10 pickup. The win ner of the Back Rain Ordnance long gun was Christopher Shank of Branson.

“In total, the Taney County 100 Club raised over $20,000 be tween the auction, the gun raffle and donations,” said Roebuck.

Money raised at the auction will be put in the organization’s survivor fund, to be used to help the family members or surviving spouse of a first responder killed or seriously injured in the line of duty.

Roebuck added, “Overall, the event was a huge success for the Taney County 100 Club, and I couldn’t be more humbled by the generosity of Jim and Kathy Cox, and all they have done to grow our survivor fund. While we hope to never need it, we now stand prepared to help a spouse when that unfortunate day comes.”

lection and even planting flowers and plants at our outdoor seating area,” says Principal, Dr. Stacie Thompson. “There is pride in tak ing care of what we have, and this is a great opportunity to show re spect on a daily basis.” Hollister band places in Bands of America Super Regional

15. This super regional competi tion drew 63 bands from 10 states throughout the Midwest. Hollis ter placed third in Class A behind Russell County, KY, and Sullivan, MO. The band will compete in the Ozark Mountain Marching Festi val at Reeds Spring on October 22.

Hollister School seeking help with history of sign

piece of history.

Willard acquired the old HOL LISTER ELEM SCHOOL R - 5 sign several years ago when former Superintendent, Dr. Tim Taylor, and the school board at that time held an auction of items that had been left in the old elementary school.

“I remember seeing the sign in a pile of items left in the old school,” Willard recalls. “I thought it was pretty cool and that I would do something with it.” While he doesn’t remember exactly how much he paid for it, he thinks it was around ten or fifteen dollars.

While Willard had intentions of doing something with the sign, it found its new home in his garage. After sitting in his garage for a num ber of years, Willard decided to do nate the sign back to the school.

Thanks to Hollister Alderman David Willard, Hollister Elemen tary School recently received a

Hollister Elementary Principal, Mr. Mark Waugh, shares that the school is very excited to obtain the sign and is grateful to Alderman Willard for preserving this piece of history.

What’s in a name?

By Stephanie Callahan, Own er/Lightspeed Electrical

In the last few decades, there have been many name changes in the electrical industry. Electri cal manufacturers have merged with other manufacturers, gone bankrupt and then started up again under a new investor, or even gone out of business per manently. Although their com ponents may still be functioning safely in your home now, when it comes time for a repair, it may be difficult to find parts with the same name.

Stephanie Callahan, Owner/Light speed Electrical

Contrary to popular belief, items like breakers are not uni versal and may not be compati ble with each other. They may not fit the same, creating loose connections and fire hazards from arcing. They may heat up because the metal alloys in them are incompatible due to being made in different factories. The following is a short list of brands that are no longer made: Crouse Hinds, Bryant, ITE, Westing house, Bulldog Pushamatic, Zin sco, Federal Pacific and Sylva nia. Some of these brands were taken over by a reputable main stream manufacturer and there are compatible parts made…just under a new name. But some are not made at all.

There are also brands of fix

tures, receptacles and switches that have better manufacturer warranties and are more durable than others. How can a home owner know the difference? Un less you study the industry trends day in and day out, you will have to trust your electrician. That is why longevity and experience in the electrical field are so import ant. Not only will an experienced electrician know how to wire it, he will know how to work with wiring from different decades and retrofit safely using the right products for the job.

Sometimes a name change is a very good thing, and it extends the longevity of a great product. If you need a knowledgeable electrician who knows electri cal theory AND history, call the team at Lightspeed Electrical at 417-239-5050.

And yes…for my clever read ers that have noticed—my last name has recently changed. Sometimes a name change is be cause of a wonderful life event.

ARE AWESOME

And the history is what Waugh is seeking help with. “We have been gifted with this amazing piece of Hol lister School history,” Waugh says, “but we are not sure what that history is. We would love to be able to tell the story of this sign.”

Mr. Waugh and the Hollister School District are seeking informa tion to help them tell that story. They are asking that anyone with informa tion about the sign, such as who made it and what year it was placed on the old elementary school, contact them.

If you have information about the history of this sign, please contact Mr. Mark Waugh at 417243-4025 or mwaugh@hollister schools.com.

Hollister trap team partic ipates in state competition

October Teacher Proud Tuesday recipient announced

Branson Public Schools is ex cited to join districts all across the region and the Greater Ozarks Cooperating School Districts (GOCSD) again for the 2022-23 school year through the Teacher Proud Tuesday campaign. On the second Tuesday of every month,

we’ll be highlighting one of our fantastic teachers. The district is proud to recognize Melissa Tate, first grade teacher at Buchanan Elementary, as October’s Teacher Proud recipient. Mrs. Tate has been with the district for nine years and was nominated by colleagues as well as community members. One of her nominators was a previous student teacher, who now works alongside Mrs. Tate at Buchan an Elementary. “Melissa was my Cooperating Teacher during my student teaching, as well as my cur rent mentor teacher. She has taught me so much and continues to help me. I have seen her impact so many students,” says Miss Gracie Jeager.

Principal Dr. April Hawkins says, “It is common to hear the words, ‘I love Mrs. Tate’ from learners because she makes learn

ing fun and meaningful. Because of her true love for the profession and children, she routinely creates special moments of delight which lead to learning memories for chil dren that will last a lifetime.”

GOCSD showcased Mrs. Tate and Branson Schools as one of their featured districts for the month of October. Buchanan Elementary honored Mrs. Tate with a class room celebration where adminis trators and her nominators shared why she is so deserving of this hon or. Assistant Principal Jared How erton, describes the “way she truly cares for her students and builds relationships” as second to none. “We could not be happier that she is a part of the BE family!”

Branson Globe Fishing Report: Week of October 19

By GARY J. GROMAN, Free lance Journalist

This report is a compilation of guide reports on their fishing trips through October 18, 2022.

TABLE ROCK LAKE

The lake level at 6 a.m. on Oc tober 19, 2022, is 909.17. The current Power Pool is 917.0. Guide: Eric Prey, Focused

Fishing Guide Service

• Number of Guide Trips on Table Rock Lake this week: 6

• General rating of quality of fishing for: Dam area: Poor; Mid lake area: Fair; James River area: Good; Lower White River area: Good; Up per White River area: Good

• Most Productive Lure/

Method: The most consis tent method has been drop shotting. Fish are also being caught on Jewel Pee Wee Football Jigs, shaky heads and Carolina rigs. On windy and cloudy days a spinner bait or crankbait can also produce.

• General Guide Comments: The fall doldrums continue; fish are scattered and chasing bait so inconsistency is the norm. The most productive and consistent method all over the lake continue to be a drop shot rig, it will produce numbers of fish but the size has been waning. Better fish are being caught on Jewel Pee Wee Football Jigs, shaky heads and Carolina rigs. You won’t get near the number of bites as the drop shot but the quality is much better. The few windy and cloudy days we’ve had in the past week

caused fish to move shallow for a short time and chase spinnerbaits and crankbaits before this latest front came through.

Out of the mouth of Jonah: A special edition of ‘Out of the Mouths of Babes’

By TIFFANY GRAVETT, Staff Writer

While searching for cute, fun ny and heartwarming quotes for this column, I usually don’t have to look very far. My 14-year-old son, Jonah, is and always has been a wellspring of thoughts and anecdotes that have made me laugh, cry and sometimes even blush. Recently, he said something that made my hus band, Aaron, and I “bust a gut” laughing. Aaron pointed out that it would be a great quote to in clude in my column, to which Jo nah replied, “My whole life is in that column.” Such is the life of a columnist’s child. Poor guy. So in response to his plight, I have decided to do what any good par ent would do and dedicate a spe cial column especially for him. I’m sure he won’t mind.

• Jonah (3) came to me and said he would like to change his name. When I asked him what he wanted it to be, he responded, “Awesome Boy.”

• Jonah (3): Who wants to teach me how to read?

Sister, Allie (8): I do! Okay, see this word? G-r-e-a-t. Great. Now you say it.

Jonah: Bate Allie: No, it’s great. Jonah: Bate Allie: No, GReat. Jonah: Just forget about it.

• “Guess what are the worst things to break? A crayon and a promise.”

• Jonah (5): Mom, will you butter this bread for me?

Me: Not right now, it’ll spoil your supper.

Mom, will you butter this bread for me?

Not right now.

Mom, will you butter this bread for me? No.

...after approx. two more min of the same thing…

Mom, will you butter this bread for me?

SHUT UP!!!

(Very calmly) Mom, I forgive you for that...will you butter this bread for me?

• Jonah (5) was eating a piece of cake and I heard him saying quietly to himself, “Mouth, stop telling me to keep eating!” Then he yelled, “Anyone want to take this so

I’ll stop eating it?”

• When I got home from the grocery store I said, “I need a strong man to help me carry the groceries in!” Jonah (6) said, “That’s not me!” Guess he caught onto my “strong man” approach.

• Jonah (6) got very upset about something and was throwing a tantrum. The next morning he told me, “I keep telling myself over and over that I have a house to live in, food to eat, and a good fami ly that loves me. That way I won’t be upset anymore.”

• I had been dealing with a lot a few years ago as a single mom and apologized to Jonah (10) that I can’t always be happy for him. He said, “Mom, so many people go around wear ing masks and not showing how they really feel. I would rather you show me how you really feel than to try to hide

it from me. And I want to be there to make you feel better when you are sad.” Such an old soul and big heart in such a tiny body.

• I told Jonah (10) this morning that I thought someone was sort of cocky. He asked half jokingly, “Do you mean they are like a chicken or that they are egotistical?”

• While signing into a website recently, Jonah (11) told me he was really glad that there was a “custom” option on

the gender question. Slightly concerned, I asked him why and he responded, “Because now I can identify as a guinea pig.”

• Jonah (12), while using his pretzel for a drumstick: Who said playing with your food was bad?!

Mom: Me. I did.

Jonah: Says the woman who used to cut our hot dogs to look like octopuses.

Mom: Touche.

this annual event that we love and each year we can’t wait to share it with our friends and neighbors!”

“Oktoberfest would not be complete without the authentic German food! From our famous taste-tested bratwurst to the au thentic German potato salad recipe

from one of our members that has been used since the early years of the ‘German Sausage Dinner.’ This third-generation potato salad recipe is from the Schaefer family, which is homemade each year by the lo cal cousins,” commented Sandy Wilkinson, Oktoberfest volunteer.

“It would not be an official German meal without sauerkraut, even it is made from a 500-year-old family

recipe from the Neidersachsen area in Germany.” Whether you delight in the complete meal, that you can dine in or take out, or ala carte items, you will experience the taste of Germany. German meals will be $15, and an alternate American meal for $5.

This year they are going all out with the walk-through German marketplace, surrounded by their very own pavilion inside. Fea tured in the marketplace will be an assortment of homemade baked goodies from famous Lutheran la dies (and men, too). Cakes, mon

ster cookies and delicious goodies will be available, along with an assortment of German products. And, of course, we cannot forget the Bavarian pretzels, a tradition in Oktoberfest for a snack, and the beautifully decorated “Leub kuchenherzen,’ the individually heart-shaped gingerbread-like cookies that are sometimes worn around the neck and snacked on as the festival carries on.

Dolores Koeppen is ready to serve (Special to Branson Globe)

The community is invited to come join in and experience the largest Oktoberfest in Branson! The event is Sunday, October 23, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. and is located at the Faith Lutheran Church Life Center, 221 Malone Street, just off the roundabout by Cox Hospital.

The day’s fun also included a raffle with more than 30 items, in cluding two guns, provided by Eagle Pawn and Jewelry in Springfield, each with a custom cerakote, applied by Branson Cerakote and Laser.

“Our community is amazing. Thank you to everyone who came out, shared the event or helped us get the word out,” said McClin tock. “Next year is going to be even bigger and better. We want each year to be better than the last, and hope to have more than 50 raffles and even better guns to raffle off. Save the date: October 7, 2023. We will be back at Ozark Shooters. We hope everyone that came this year will help us by inviting more to help us grow and reach more peo ple, as we continue to serve the in dividuals with disabilities in Stone and Taney County.”

MoDOT, safety partners aim for zero fatalities: Oct. 21 is Buckle Up Phone Down Day

Submitted to Branson Globe

For the sixth year, the Missou ri Department of Transportation and the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety, along with var ious safety partners, schools and businesses throughout the state, are encouraging better driving behaviors as part of Buckle Up Phone Down Day; and this year, aiming for the goal of zero traf fic fatalities throughout the day.

Missouri’s 2022 Seat Belt Us age Survey showed 89% of ve hicle occupants use a seat belt, matching the highest rate the state has ever recorded. But the un buckled 11% make up a majority of the state’s roadway fatalities, which reached a 15-year high in 2021. Cellphone use continues to be one of the most concerning behaviors for all roadway users. In 2021, over half of the distract ed driving fatalities in Missouri claimed the life of someone be sides the distracted driver.

“Last year was one of our worst years for roadway fatal ities. It’s never been more im portant to look at ourselves as drivers and do our part to make our roadways safer,” said Mo DOT State Highway Safety and Traffic Engineer Nicole Hood. “We want the words ‘Buckle Up Phone Down’ echoing in the minds of each driver, encourag ing them to take an active role in making our roads safe - ulti mately resulting in thousands of lives saved.”

Since the program began in 2017, the BUPD movement has spread steadily across Missouri. More than 20,000 Missouri in dividuals and businesses have accepted the BUPD challenge, and more than a dozen other states are actively sharing the messages along their highways.

“The BUPD movement helps us reinforce the two simplest and most effective ways to save lives on our roadways—wearing your seatbelt and putting your phone down while driving,”

said Robert Brinkmann, chair man of the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety’s executive committee and the chairman of the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission. “I encourage everyone to take BUPD Day as an opportunity to change your driving behav

ior for the better and help us achieve this zero-fatality day— hopefully the first of many to come.”

Missourians can accept the challenge to BUPD at modot. org/bupd and spread the word on social media using the hashtags #BUPD and #BUPDDay.

Without major changes, this would mean increasing the number of members from three to four for the city paying the most and reducing the number from two to one for the city or village pay ing the next most. Not a quick fix

but one State Representative, Bri an Seitz, says he is willing to help with this at the state level.

At the MOC level, the city of Branson can ask the TCED to change its regulations for the MOC. In an Ole Seagull’s opin ion, such changes should include a reapportionment of its makeup

in proportion to the amount of taxes contributed by the city of Branson, Taney County, Village of Indian Point, and Stone County. Further, those reapportioned posi tions should be appointed by those governing entities, not the TCED.
