SUBMITTED to Branson Globe Numerous state and local dignitaries will be in Branson soon to present 93-year-old Staff Sergeant Richard Johnson Certificates of Accommodations, honorary flags, and offer respect for his service as one of the ‘Frozen Chosin’ while in the war in Korea. Mr. Johnson was one of only 15 that survived, out of 255. Staff Sergeant Richard Johnson is what’s called a ‘hidden gem’ in Branson. At 93 years old he has begun to share his military career with the Library of Congress and local colleagues. The College of the Ozarks was asked to record a vid-
eo of Richards and his account of one particular event that took place while in the military, being a part of the ‘Frozen Chosin.’ Since Mr. Johnson is on hospice, the hospice chaplain, Craig Buck, was present during the time of the video production. Chaplain Buck, also the chaplain for the Veterans and Military Coalition of the Ozarks (VMCO), shared Mr. Johnson’s story with VMCO. VMCO has put together a ceremony of recognition that will take place in his home on January 15 and 20. Several state and local dignitaries, or their representatives, SEE FROZEN CHOSIN, PAGE 10
Branson Board of Aldermen reject proposed animal ordinance By GARY J. GROMAN, Independent Journalist At its January 11, 2022 meeting, the Branson Board of Aldermen, by a 6 to 0 vote, rejected the repeal of Branson’s existing animal control ordinance and the substitution of a new ordinance. Branson’s ex-
isting Animal Control Ordinance is “Chapter 14 Animals” of the Branson Municipal Code. Under the proposal, it would have been repealed and replaced with a new “Chapter 14 Animals.” The staff report for the ordinance indicates it was “Initiated
By: Police Approved by: Staff.” The report says, “The Police Department reviewed Municipal Code Chapter 14 pertaining to animals and is recommending significant changes to align with best practice models and municipal standards relative to the animal or-
dinance. The department completed an initial draft ordinance and provided the board of aldermen an overview of the proposed amendments. “After the presentation, the department initiated additional SEE ORDINANCE, PAGE 8

Branson High School hires new head football coach
Entertainer Dee Dee Hamilton passed away Jan. 6. (Special to Branson Globe)
Branson remembers talented vocalist Dee Dee Hamilton By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer The world lost a tremendous talent recently when vocalist and entertainer Dee Dee Hamilton passed away. Hamilton was a talented singer with a fondness for gospel music and a former member of The World Famous Platters. Hamilton’s friends, peers and fans shared their thoughts on her passing. “On January 6, Branson lost a superstar talent with the passing of Miss Dee Dee Hamilton.” said Eddie Stovall, who performed
with Hamilton, as part of The World Famous Platters. “There’s a whole lot that could be said about Dee Dee, but one thing stands out above all the rest—she was a helluva singer. Pure talent! She will certainly be missed.” Songwriter Lynda Lynn knew Hamilton on both a personal and professional level, as Hamilton had recorded a number of Lynn’s gospel songs. Said Lynn, “My precious friend I’ve known for 26 years went to be with the Lord. SEE HAMILTON, PAGE 9
SUBMITTED to Branson Globe Branson High School has a new head football coach. Aaron Hafner, head football coach at Olathe Northwest High School, has been hired for the 2022-2023 school year. He replaces Anthony Hays who resigned the position in December. Hafner is familiar with Southwest Missouri where he started his coaching career at Webb City High School. He served as defensive coordinator during their 2000 State Championship team. Hafner also served as head coach at Republic High School, earning two District Championships. He acquired noteworthy success from his time at William Penn University as offensive coordinator. The Statesmen offense was a top five rushing offense in the nation from 2008-2012, and
during the 2010 season set a NAIA national record for rushing yards in a season. The Frontenac, KS, native played football at Southwest Baptist for three years. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Secondary Education from Pittsburg State University and a master’s degree in Business Leadership from William Penn University. Hafner will teach Physical Education at BHS. “We are excited to add Aaron and his family to the Branson community,” said David Large, BHS activities director. “We had 55 applicants from 12 different states and Coach Hafner really rose to the top as we went through the process.

Liberty Utilities relicensing Ozark Beach hydroelectric project
SUBMITTED to Branson Globe Liberty Utilities is in the process of relicensing the Ozark Beach Hydroelectric Project (Project) with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). As part of the relicensing process, Liberty is proposing to increase the height of the Project’s Obermeyer gates by two feet (from their current four feet to a new operational height of six feet.) These are the steel gates that sit atop the dam that in 2011 replaced the old flashboard system.
According to Liberty, this project has two main benefits: 1. Will help them provide additional clean, renewable energy by increasing head height at the dam site 2. Increase water depth which will benefit the many boating and recreational activities around the lake Liberty says while the gate modification will result in minor increases in the elevation and surface area of Lake Taneycomo, the actual effect to existing shoreline will be minimal.
Liberty has put a public notice in the newspaper regarding this project and has sent letters to landowners. You can find the Notification of Relicense Application for Ozark Beach Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project 2221) on its website at https:// central.libertyutilities.com/ uploads/pdf/893d09bf-0a054a15-bc29-2036d169c6a4.pdf.

Veterans Memorial Garden remembers founder, Ben Kinel By CINDY THOMAS, Staff Writer Visitors and volunteers at Branson’s Veterans Memorial Garden, located at the corner of Highway 76 and Roark Valley Road in Branson, have a special reason to pause and reflect this weekend. The founder of the garden, Marine veteran Ben Kinel, would have celebrated his 94th birthday on January 15. Kinel passed away in July 2021 following a brief illness. According to Garden administrator Jana Evans, Kinel actively worked in the garden until well after Memorial Day. Evans, an entertainer and musician who wanted to give back to the community through volunteering, met Kinel while working at the garden, and a few weeks before his death, he asked her to consider being the next administrator. “You don’t say no to someone like that,” said Evans. Kinel, a Master Gardener, enjoyed participating in community beautification projects. In 2007 he started working toward his dream of a place of beauty and peace to honor veterans of all service branches. Using a corner of land provided by Jack Herschend of Silver Dollar City, Kinel coordinated efforts and gifts from other community members, including Jean Cantwell of Blossoms of Branson, who is honored by a shade garden near the front fence of the property. The Veterans and Military Coalition of the Ozarks and the Veterans Task Force also got involved. The Task Force recently
provided a bench to honor the late Brenda Meadows, another veteran who was active in many community projects and veterans’ events to honor other area veterans. The garden was dedicated in 2009 and continues to be funded by donations and maintained by volunteers including Evans, who volunteers her time as administrator. Long-time volunteers Roy Watkins, Kevin Nawll and Bruce Sisk help with much of the gritty behind-the-scenes work. Appropriate to honoring Kinel’s memory and his birthday, several recent donations will help the Garden move forward with some goals. A grant of $1,000 from Home Depot, coordinated through the Veterans Coalition, helped fund a fence along the back of the garden, giving a more finished look as well as an area for tools and supplies. Several donations of new flowers have been

Top 5 things to do in Branson include upside-down adventure at WonderWorks SUBMITTED to Branson Globe Winter in Branson, Missouri, is a great time to stay indoors and have some fun. One of the top attractions for families to visit in Branson is WonderWorks. The indoor entertainment park offers a wide variety of family, fun activities that will keep guests learning, laughing, and making memories. Plus, they will be escaping the cold temperatures as they do it. “This January, indoor fun is what it’s all about, which is why WonderWorks just makes sense,” says Brenda Dent, general manager at WonderWorks Branson. “We have many interactive exhibits that will keep people entertained for hours.” Often ranked in the top things to do in Branson, many of the exhibits at WonderWorks Branson are STEM-related, covering the areas of science, technology, engineering and math. There is also an emphasis on art, with a gallery that features pieces by local Branson youth artists. With the wide variety of interactive exhibits available, there is something for everyone. The top five things to do in Branson include an upside-down adventure at WonderWorks Branson: • Space Discovery. This area gives people a chance to learn about space and experience what it’s like to train like an astronaut. The zone features a four-person gyroscope, an as-
tronaut space suit and a Mercury capsule. • Physical Challenge. In this zone, guests are amazed by lying on a bed of nails, becoming a human lighting rod, and playing virtual sports. The learning and fun are endless in this zone. • Meterology and More. Guests can step into the Natural Disaster Zone to learn about extreme weather, including the feeling of 74-mile-per-hour hurricane winds and the feeling of 28-degree water. • XD Theater. Unlike regular theaters, this one provides viewers with an adventure like no other. The 3D film has special features, including full-range
seating that has vibrations and sensations to take epic movies to the next level. • Special Exhibits. WonderWorks Branson has exciting exhibits that are unique to the location. This includes the Branson Experience, the OZART Youth Art Gallery, and an American Pride theater. Each of them capture the essence of the local culture and feature history and input from those who have called Branson home. “This is going to be a fun winter, and we look forward to being a part of helping to make it so,” added Dent. “Stop in and see what the upside-down building is all about. You won’t be disappointed!”
WonderWorks Branson also offers group activities, facilities rentals, homeschool day events, birthday parties, sensory days and more. Many have called it the best place for birthdays in Branson. Located at 2835 W. 76 Country Blvd., it’s the company’s sixth and largest location.

t is a wonderful thing when parents will play with their children. There is great value in time spent simply having fun with them. This time is an opportunity for bonding, teaching and creating memories. Right after Christmas there is an opportunity to explore the new toys and games together. When Dad or Mom get on the level of the child and explore the new possibilities of enjoyment, the child learns to ap-

away from each other to avoid having an ear chewed or to become the bottom bread of a sandwich. They laugh as “the meat” wriggles out to try to become the top bread and the bottom bread tries even harder to escape being the bottom bread. It is important, however, for the parent to know when enough is enough in these games. It is cruel to tickle children too much. Also, weight of individuals needs to be considered so no person is hurt. Many board games offer opportunities for learning as well as having fun. Long winter evenings are well spent in playing games such as Monopoly, Balderdash, Sequence, or others with older children. In Monopoly, children learn much about money. They learn to count the money as well as a great deal about how business works. Balderdash is a great game for teaching writing, per-
suasion and vocabulary. Our family has laughed until we cried at some of the silly definitions written for some of the words in Balderdash. Board games designed for younger children teach a child to take turns and that they cannot always win. They can learn to lose graciously. Laughter is a good medicine. King Solomon tells us in Proverbs 17:22, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” Playing and laughing with our children relieves our stress as well as theirs. We sometimes forget that children, too, have stress as they seek to please their parents and teachers. Time spent playing with children is a wonderful investment that yields dividends for eternity. Children grow up so fast! Let’s take advantage of the opportunities we have to spend time with them while we can.

preciate the fact that the parent has interest in his/her world. A special relationship between the child and parent is created. This new relationship results in a better understanding of each other. In the event that a toy breaks, as many are apt to do, as the parent helps repair that toy, the child learns about how things work. Parents have an opportunity to teach new words and understandings to the child. Even if there are no new games or toys, parents and children can create their own games. Our grown children still laugh about playing “sandwich” or “slobber ear” with their dad, and I laugh when I see them play the same games with their children. These are rough and tumble games on the floor (or grass in the summer) where all involved laugh and giggle as they try to get

ou hide them in the shelter of your presence, safe from those who conspire against them.
You shelter them in your presence, far from accusing tongues.” Psalm 31:20. Have you ever been the subject of someone else’s gossiping? Ever been the victim of well-crafted lies? Unfortunately, I can answer in the affirmative to both of those questions. Now, I will humbly admit that not every story told about me was deceitful. I’ve made mistakes like everyone else. But here’s the thing. What may or may not be true of me doesn’t hold a candle to the
truth of what God says about me. What has passed is in the past, even if it happened two minutes ago. When you decide to walk the walk of faith humbly and consistently, the accusing tongues will eventually grow quiet when they see your life being lived out for the Lord day by day. Hide yourself in that shelter the psalm talks about, and you’ll soon find that the words of people no longer have the power to bring you down.
Father, I pray that the person reading my words would take comfort in the shelter of your presence. If they find themselves the subject of gossip, lies, or accusations, remind them who they are in You. Refute every tongue that rises up against them in false judgement, but even if it is not false, give them the power to rise above, knowing that your forgiveness and grace speak louder than human words. It is in the name of Jesus that I pray. Amen.

Reflections: The world or the Word?
BY CINDY THOMAS Staff Writer
T
he start of a new year is a good time to examine the foundations for our daily lives and vision for the future. Nobody would argue that life in the U.S. has been shaken to the core by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 election, and the 2021 that promised to be better and wasn’t. Could 2022 be much worse? Well, yes, it could.
If you’re a Bible-believing Christian, you know things will likely get worse toward the end of the earthly timeline. But you also know the end of the story. Jesus Christ will return and reign victorious, and those who have put their faith in him will spend eternity with him. Those who have not will regret that decision for eternity. That knowledge, however, doesn’t make it easy to live our faith on a daily basis without getting sidetracked by all that’s going on. The Apostle Paul described this as “bondage under the elements of the world” (Galatians 4:3), or “basic principles of the world” (Colossians 2:20). Jesus died to free us from those principles, but they’re still around to tempt us. Paul describes some of those prin-
ciples, eerily similar to current culture. He mentions following regulations that outwardly appear religious but don’t affect the heart, or seeking power apart from the Holy Spirit’s presence in us, neither of which will work. The “Forerunner Commentary” describes those as a counterfeit righteousness, or a solution that won’t last. In 1 John, those principles are described as “lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.” They haven’t changed since Satan tempted Eve, when the fruit was “good for food, pleasant to the eyes, and desirable for making one wise.” That sounded good, but the problem was, it wasn’t God’s plan and it violated his clear command. Some things look like a good idea, may lead to success, or just
seem like a safe way to avoid rocking the boat with friends and family, but upon closer examination, they aren’t a God idea. God will not contradict himself or lead his people against what he’s already said. Obviously, not every decision is a clear “do” or “don’t” in the Bible— but some are. Other guidelines can be discerned by studying the people, cultural context and situations described in the Bible. What brand of toothpaste or which outfit to buy is not specified in Scripture, although it can be informed by factors Scripture DOES address, such as living within our means (or grateful consideration for a hard-working husband who prefers peppermint toothpaste). Other choices, such as what TV channels
Jan. 14, 2022 • 7
we pay for, may seem inconsequential but actually result in financially supporting ungodly content. The list goes on, encompassing seemingly simple decisions as well as weightier ones such as whether to comply with a vaccine mandate if it should happen. Making choices wasn’t easy for Paul, John and other leaders of the early Church, and it won’t get any easier for us. A general guideline, though, is that a choice made by ignoring or twisting Scripture, rather than a straightforward reading and good homiletics, is probably not a good one. Reading the Bible and listening to the Holy Spirit’s prompting can help ensure our lifestyle reflects principles of the Word, not principles of the world.

he world went gray earlier this week, as is appropriate for January. We pine away for the sun when it is missing and it’s easy to think of winter months as long and dreary. But there is a strange beauty in the muted, the pale, the delicate, the easily overlooked. Sometimes, a slight change of perspective is needed. Growing
up, I loved coloring books (go figure). And so did my mom. So we would color those books in together — my favorite was my “Muppet Christmas Coloring Book” ... again, go figure. And it was there I learned my mom’s two favorite colors: burnt sienna and raw umber. Burnt sienna for the color of the tall prairie grass of an Iowa win-
ter. Raw umber for the color of the black oaks in January. I never forgot that. It is easy to reach for the brightest colors in the box, even in life. Colors like red orange, lemon yellow, magenta, or rose pink tend to jump out at you, demanding your attention. But in life, it is often the quiet things that are the most lasting, the most important,

We watch the local news, look on social media, and sometimes even text family members to find out if it’s safe to drive on the roads or if we need to stay home.

peating the 2021 market that looked great the first quarter coming out of the pandemic shutdowns of 2020. Economy-wise, the U.S. is close to the middle of the current economic cycle. LPL Financial researchers forecast 4.0–4.5% growth in Gross Domestic Product in 2022. The Federal Reserve played a huge role in the economic recovery in 2021, but markets need to see a smooth backing out of that role in 2022. On the inflation front, 2021 was hard on consumers. Last year prices increased on the things we buy and there seem to be shortages on nearly everything. Inflation should
slow down and even decrease slightly in 2022 if we can improve the supply chain problem. Stocks/equities should continue to benefit from consumers’ high demand for goods. Analysts expect continued strong earnings growth in 2022 to help U.S. stocks have another good year. The economic momentum might slow some, but it should remain strong. Bonds may not have the opportunities in 2022 as stocks. LPL Financial researchers forecast the year-end 10-year Treasury yield to be 1.75–2.00%. This rising rate environment and the continued bull equity market could leave
bond returns flat or low single digits in 2022. All in all, I think 2022 will see inflation start to slowly decrease instead of increase, and economic momentum will slow but remain strong. Most importantly, we will see the Federal Reserve start to pull back which I believe it needs to do. So how are the market roads? They aren’t perfect but pretty good. You don’t need to stay home in fear. Just drive cautiously and give yourself plenty of room to slow down. Have a blessed week! Dr. Richard L. Baker, AIF® https://www.steadfastwealth.

steps to include public comment and further define the ordinance. The proposed Chapter 14 amendments were shared with community stakeholders who provided additional feedback.”
“The Chapter 14 amendments represent significant ordinance amendments and therefore the department recommends repealing the existing Branson Municipal Code Chapter 14 and replacing it with the amended Chapter 14 Animal Ordinance.” One illustration of the detail
in the ordinance is the provision for “community cats.” It defines a community cat as “a member of the domestic species Felis catus and shall mean a free-roaming cat who may be cared for by one or more residents of the immediate area who is/are known or unknown; a community cat
may or may not be feral. Community cats are not wildlife.” It goes on to define a “community cat caregiver” as “a person who, in accordance with and pursuant to a policy of Trap-Neuter-Return, provides care, including food, shelter, or medical care to a community cat. It defines “Trap-Neuter-Return” as the process of humanely trapping, sterilizing, vaccinating for rabies, ear tipping, and returning community cats to their original location. “Ear tipping” is “the removal of the distal one-quarter of a community cat’s ear performed under sterile conditions while the cat is under anesthesia, in compliance with any applicable federal or state law, and under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. Ear tips are designed to identify a community cat as being sterilized and lawfully vaccinated for rabies.” Many other changes are also

in the ordinance. Among others, these include annual license fees for certain domestic animals and animals deemed to be dangerous and/or vicious dogs; a limitation on animals in residences and lodging establishments; commercial requirements for animal care and enforcement protocols; dangerous and vicious dog behavior-based protocols; a prohibition on private possession of exotic animals; and reduces stray hold from 10 days to seven days. Although many of the aldermen agreed with the need for changing the current ordinance, most felt that those changes could result from revising the existing animal ordinance. During the discussion, City Administrator Stan Dobbins recommended that the Board reject the ordinance. He said that the city will be doing an update on our 2030 Plan, which will provide the opportunity to get a lot of input from the public.

An 8-ft. wooden eagle statue is scheduled to arrive soon. Handmade by Carving for Christ, it was given by John and Betty Watson of Joplin in honor of Betty’s deceased first husband, who served as an Army chaplain in Vietnam.

Those wishing to honor a special veteran should contact Evans; there are options to fit most budgets. Volunteers are always needed and welcome. Experience is not required, although several area Master Gardeners find the garden an enjoyable place to fulfill their annual volunteer commitments. One benefit of volunteering, said Evans, is the opportunity to chat with visitors, such as the couple who said they stop regularly to reflect and pray for their son, a machinist on a submarine for over 12 years. A display of 13 flags gives pause to remember the lives recently lost in Afghanistan. To volunteer, visit www.veteransmemorialgarden.com or contact Jana Evans at 417-294-5092. Donations are also appreciated; there are donation boxes located at the garden as well as a form available via the website.

will be presenting Mr. Johnson with Certificates of Achievement. Missouri Congressman Billy Long, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley, Missouri State Senate Mike Moon, Missouri State Representative Brian Seitz, and the Mayor of Branson, Larry Milton, will honor him. Richard Johnson enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1948. After several years of moving around, on July 12, 1950, he was to board the ship USS Pickaway in San Diego and sail for Japan. This was at a pivotal time in the Korean War. On Aug 2, 1950, all
men were unloaded in Pusan, South Korea. After weeks of fighting, and being constantly on the move, they were at the shoreline of Wonsan. There they received their winter gear: heavy parkas, long johns, boots and sleeping bags: never to realize how important those items would become. On Oct 26, 1950, they began the move into the mountain area towards the Chosin reservoir. By mid-November they experienced sub-zero temperatures, as low as -36 degrees, and deep snow. On Thanksgiving night, November 23, 1950, they had a good hot meal, the only one received for several weeks.

That night the Chinese hit with everything they had. At daybreak they could see hundreds of casualties but then heard they were surrounded. They headed south and on Dec. 3, 1950, had reached Hagaru’s airstrip. After the wounded were evacuated, they went another hard 11 miles down the road to Koto-ri. It was there where they joined the first Marine Regiment and learned that they were surrounded. It was here they met Col. Chesty Puller who made the USMC famous quote of “those poor *@#$%, now we can shoot them in all directions!” Between November 27 and December 13, 1950, 30,000 United Nations Command troops (later nicknamed “The Chosin Few”) under the field command of Major General Oliver P. Smith were encircled and attacked by about 120,000 Chinese troops under the command
of Song Shilun, who had been ordered by Mao Zedong to destroy the UN forces. This later would be referred to as the battle of the Frozen Chosin. After that battle they eventually made it to the ship and boarded on Dec. 17, 1950. The ship was prepared for them as they moved single file through compartments to get out of the clothes that they had been wearing for over two months, Mr. Johnson said “It left a two-foot pile of clothes. Later they learned that only 15 out of the original 255 had survived.” After being honorably discharged, Mr. Johnson was quoted as saying, “The Marine Corps experience was a difficult four years, but I don’t regret the time; overall it turned out for the best.” For more information about VMCO, go to VMCO1.org, or Facebook.com/VMCO1.

Grand Jubilee entertains guests during winter months, shows begin January 13 By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer While most in the Branson entertainment community are enjoying a well-earned vacation, the cast and crew of the Grand Jubilee at the Grand Country Music Hall are hard at work. With rehearsals and the debut of the 2022 season already behind them, the Grand Jubilee is set for a fun-filled year. “Grand Country Productions operates like a military operation,” explained Grand Jubilee Master of Ceremonies and General Manager of the Grand Country Music Hall Mike Patrick. “With a schedule of three to four shows operating daily which share a large number of performers, rehearsals are strategically scheduled beginning November 1 and work around multiple performances. We
take a vacation week in January and again in August. The Grand Jubilee debuted their allnew 20th anniversary show on New Year’s Eve, and in keeping with their desire to provide year-round entertainment for Branson audiences, the show gets underway again this weekend with the entire cast on board. “Every member of the all-star cast is returning for 2022,” confirmed Mike Patrick. “Bass singer Mark McCauley, pianist Michael W. Davis and I are all celebrating 20 years of being with the show.” Those returning to the Grand Jubilee can expect to see some changes, however. Said Patrick, “We change 80 percent of the show with new material and new costumes. As the
demographic of the customers changes, so does the material.” While the Grand Jubilee hosts many first-time visitors each year, the long-running production enjoys a tremendous repeat guest business. When asked what brings people back time and time again, Patrick explained, “Audiences love the tight harmonies and dynamic performance of Branson’s best quartet, New South! This incredible group entertains with spectacular music, great harmonies, family comedy and Ozarks hospitality. Mark, Luke, David and Eric sing all of your favorite songs. You’ll hear Top 40 Country and Gospel classics, MoTown, and Rock and Roll hits from the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s. The Grand Jubilee
surpasses expectations of any age. The Rhinestone Mafia is the backbone of the show, and along with the power vocals of Jackie Brown, this show is a bomb with the fuse lit!” Adding to the amazing mix of music is the hilarious comedy antics of Jamie Haagie, as Jim Dandy, and Patrick, serving as master of ceremonies and Jim Dandy’s cohort. The two funny men are guaranteed to keep the audience laughing throughout the evening. During the off-season of January and February, the Grand Jubilee will entertain Branson visitors with shows four nights per week, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Show time is 7:30 p.m. Shows begin on Thursday, January 13. Comedy Jamboree, which shares the performance ven-
ue with the Grand Jubilee, is now in rehearsal for their new 2022 show, which will debut in mid-February. An area appreciation is slated for January 21 through January 29 for the Grand Jubilee. During that time, residents of Southwest Missouri and Northwest Arkansas can enjoy the new 2022 Grand Jubilee Show for only $10. “We have contagious fun every night,” said Patrick. “It’s fun to share our laughter, music and party with the audience. We invite our neighbors to come join the fun, especially during this slower time of the year.” For more information, or to make reservations for the Grand Jubilee or any of the shows at the Grand Country Music Hall, call 417-335-2484 or visit them at GrandCountry.com.

Blue Campaign encourages human trafficking awareness
Wear Blue Day (Photo by HSI Kansas City)
SUBMITTED to Branson Globe The Department of Homeland Security and Homeland Security Investigations Division (HSI), part of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), designated the week of January 10–14 for focused awareness of the Blue Campaign to fight human trafficking. Although Blue Campaign resources are available year-round, 24/7, special events included #WearBlueDay on January 11 and extra social media awareness to show support for victims and provide resources to help prevent this horrific crime. “Human trafficking is one of the most heinous crimes we investigate,” said Katherine Greer, Special Agent in Charge of the HSI Kansas City Area of Operations. “Victims may be forced into pros-
titution or working and living in deplorable conditions with little or no pay. Even worse, for any number of reasons, victims are often afraid of contacting law enforcement for help, so they become stuck in a vicious cycle.” HIS partners with the Department of Homeland Security’s Blue Campaign to educate the public and train law enforcement and other key partners to recognize indicators of trafficking and respond appropriately. The campaign develops and distributes general awareness and educational resources to help communities learn to recognize signs of trafficking, defined as the use of force, fraud, or coercion to lure innocent and vulnerable victims into forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation. Greer explained
that more awareness and easier access to resources, including tip lines and help lines, can help reduce anxiety and other barriers preventing some victims and witnesses from contacting authorities or reaching out for help. In 2021, HSI identified and assisted 728 victims across the country, resulting in 2,360 arrests. The Kansas City office has special agents throughout Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska dedicated to the eradication of this crime. The 2021 activity included a June case involving 31 victims, 14 of which were minors and children as young as age four, encompassing locations in Wichita, Kansas; Kansas City, Missouri; and Independence, Missouri.

and anxiety about law enforcement, many victims will not seek help, even in a public setting. Community members can help, and possibly save lives, by recognizing some common indicators of possible trafficking: • Does the person appear disconnected from family, friends, community organizations, or houses of worship? • Has school attendance become sporadic, or grades suddenly dropped? • Has behavior changed suddenly or dramatically, particularly becoming more fearful, timid, or submissive? • Is the person disoriented or confused, or showing signs of mental or physical abuse? • Does the person have bruises in various stages of healing, or wear clothing inappropriate to the weather, such as

Persons who observe signs of trafficking should not approach the possible victim or perpetrator. Report suspicious activity to local law enforcement, anonymously online to www. ice.gov/tipline, or by phone to 866-347-2423. Learn more about HSI Kansas City at @ HSIKansasCity.

Update on generator availability This last year created a huge demand for Automatic Standby Generators. There are many different reasons that people want a generator, ranging from medical equipment power needs to concerns about power outages. How do you know if a generator is right for you? Here are the three ‘Ps’ that you need to know when considering a generator: Do you have a Propane tank? Standby generators run on either propane or natural gas. If you do not have natural gas, you are required to have a minimum propane tank size of 250 gallons for your generator to function properly. The tank size also dictates how long you can run the generator in an emergency. For example, a 20kW generator will run for approximately four days on a 250-gallon tank, and eight days on a 500-gallon tank. If you do not have a propane tank yet, ask the propane company if they require you to lease or purchase when using it with a generator. Also, ask if they have any available and whether it’s possible to place it on your property. Properties with heavily wooded areas or large inclines may be difficult for a new tank to be installed. Are you part of a Property Owners Association? Residents that live in a neighborhood with POA or HOA requirements will need permission
By STEPHANIE BARNEY, Owner/ Lightspeed Electrical from that organization before purchasing a generator. This is for both aesthetic and noise ordinance reasons. Most organizations want you submit an application for review by the POA board before proceeding with a purchase or installation. Do you have Patience? Yes, I really wrote that. Manufacturers are still struggling to keep up with the production demands for standby generators. Generators ordered in January are not arriving until September of 2022. Be cautious when shopping online, as many sites do not update their content; they will have a generator listed IN STOCK, but once you get to the payment page, you will see the estimated delivery day of seven to nine months out, as well as the actual price including tax, shipping and handling. Although the wait time is disappointing, ordering NOW is crucial to getting the best pricing. Generac had four price increases in 2021, and we expect the cost of all materials continue to go up. Lightspeed Electrical Services is a certified Generac Dealer. If we can help you maintain or repair the generator you already have, or assist you in purchasing a new one, call us at 417-239-5050.

Reader’s Corner: Reading suggestions from Taneyhills Library SUBMITTED to Branson Globe Thanks to Taneyhills Library volunteer Joyce Coogan for these inspirational book reviews! This month’s suggestions include a notto-be missed classic and a nonfiction work on something we all need—hope. “Apples Never Fall,” Liane Moriarty In a family where tennis is all,
competition is deadly among the siblings and the parents are demanding. The introduction of Savannah, a strange girl who throws the entire family out of sync, creates an element of intrigue and eventually brings the family closer together in this captivating read. “The Night Watchman,” Louise Erdrich This story chronicles the true
account of the author’s Chippewa grandfather leading the way in 1953 to stop Congress from passing an “emancipation bill” that would delete all previous Indian treaties with the U.S. government and force them to relocate once again. Set in North Dakota, it is a disturbing but enlightening picture of Indian life, the Indians’ unique sense of humor, and their determination to retain their homes, language and culture. “The Jane Austen Society,” Natalie Jenner Jenner creates a story of contemporary England about a small

group of Austen aficionados in a village where Jane Austen wrote. The story line parallels the type of captivating characters Austen herself presented, in a writing style both sophisticated and engaging. “The Lincoln Highway,” Amor Towles In this intensely readable modern-day morality play, an eightyear-old boy shares the role of protagonist with his brother. Their father dead and their mother long gone, the boys undertake their coming-of-age road trip to find their mother. Very much an Odysseus or Huck Finn story of search-
ing for home and the highways and byways taken along the way, this emotionally moving journey is well worth taking. “The Book of Hope,” Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams In a sometimes-difficult world, naturalist Jane Goodall provides solid reasons for hope that is real, hope that can lead to a positive outcome. Through her work studying chimpanzees and working with people around the world, she offers four reasons for hope: The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit. This uplifting book is a moving, positive approach to life today. “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,” Betty Smith From the moment she entered the world, Francie Nolan needed to be made of stern stuff, as growing up in turn-of-the-century Brooklyn, New York, demanded fortitude, precocity, and strength of spirit. Raised in the Williamsburg slums, Francie’s life is full of the everyday joys of childhood, but also the drama that comes with an alcoholic father and a mother struggling to provide food for the family. Although at times overwhelming and heart-breaking, ultimately this is a classic story of overcoming struggles to create a full and rewarding life. It’s easier than ever to find your selections at Taneyhills Library, located at 200 S. 4th St., Branson, since the library hours have recently expanded. The Library is open Monday and Wednesday–Friday from 10 a.m.–5 p.m., Tuesday 10 a.m.–7 p.m., and on Saturday from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. As a nonprofit organization, Taneyhills Library is not tax supported and depends on income from its onsite retail shops, fees for services, grants and donations.

Pregnancy Life Line named Central Bank Charity of the Month By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer The Central Bank of Branson has selected the Stone County Pregnancy Life Line as their January Charity of the Month. “Pregnancy Life Line exists to help women and men facing an unplanned pregnancy,” explained Administrator Sherry Long. “While we primarily serve Stone County, we do see clients from surrounding counties. We empower our clients to make healthy life choices through education, mentoring referrals and practical help. Our comprehensive support services encourage early entry into prenatal care, improve maternal nutrition and encourage reduction of alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy, thereby improving the health of mother and baby. The Stone County Pregnancy Life Line, which began filling a vital need in our area in 2004, has provided services to women from 14 to 45 years of age. Typically, clients of Pregnancy Life Line are lower income families, at-risk teens and those facing unplanned pregnancies. The Pregnancy Life Line helps meet the needs of approximately 130 clients each year.
Since opening their doors, Pregnancy Life Line has aided just over 1,350 clients during more than 14,000 visits. “Shirley and Ed Mullen founded Pregnancy Life Line in April 2004. They began fundraising and community education immediately. Pregnancy Life Line opened our doors on September 1, 2004, with a donated ultrasound machine and the first set of prenatal and parenting class curriculum,” said Long. “Since then PLL has relocated to a larger facility, expanded our curriculum to include life skills and nutrition education, as well as adding our men’s mentoring program and sexual health education program in our local schools. With the onset of COVID-19, we began offering many of our educational classes online. Not only has this been helpful for those concerned about COVID-19, but it is a valuable option for those who are either working or in school during our regular hours of operation, as well as for those who have transportation challenges.” Pregnancy Life Line offers pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, prenatal and parenting classes in
both English and Spanish, nutrition training, referrals, resources, men’s and women’s mentoring, and much more. Said Long, “Additionally, we offer tutoring for those clients seeking to complete their high school education and have a small computer lab for clients to build their resume, search for employment and complete job applications. As our clients attend these classes, they earn points and are allowed to use those points to shop from our resource room for practical items needed for baby’s care. These items range from diapers, wipes, bathing supplies, and clothing to larger items like bouncy seats, strollers and high chairs. For clients who do not have a safe
place for baby to sleep, we are able to provide a new Pack-n-Play. Car seats are also provided for those clients who do not have one for their newborn. All of these services are provided at no charge.” Pregnancy Life Line has one full-time employee and three part-
time staff, as well as a staff of more than 40 volunteers. The organization’s board of directors is also made up of volunteers. “Volunteers not only tie us more closely to the community, but also give us skilled help for our clients

without incurring costs,” Long explained. “They are a vital part of our sustainability. It is through the tremendous support of our dedicated volunteers that Pregnancy Life Line is able to serve so many clients. Last year, our volunteers donated over 3,285 hours saving Pregnancy Life Line $85,284.57. We encourage everyone interested in volunteering to please come by our center for a quick tour. We’ll tell you all about our services and the possible ways to volunteer.” Like most not-for-profit organizations, Pregnancy Life Line is also grateful for donations. In addition to financial contributions, PLL accepts a variety of new and nearly-new items. Said Long, “Pregnancy Life Line is grateful to receive product donations, which makes our financial donations go a lot farther. We accept both new and gently
used baby items. We tend to give away a lot of disposable diapers (in all sizes), wipes, bathing supplies and infant toys. These donations allow us to really stretch those monetary donations. Donations can be dropped off or mailed to Pregnancy Life Line, 19621 State Highway 413, Branson West, MO 55737. Donations may be made online at pregnancylifeline.com/donate.

cylifeline.com. “Our community is filled with caring and compassionate individuals who give of themselves to help those around them,” noted Long. “I see this in those who crochet baby blankets, make quilts, burp pads and receiving blankets for our clients. I see this from unselfish people who shop for new baby items so a mom, who has so little, can provide for her new baby. I see this in those who give of their hard-earned dollars so that someone else may have a need met. I see this in those who
give of their time and experiences to not only help our clients walk through a challenging time, but become stronger and healthier

From the mouths of babes... By TIFFANY BROWN, Staff Writer My brother used to like watching monster movies when he was little. One day he noticed that he had hair on his arms and said, “Oh, no…oh, no! I’m turning into a redwolf (werewolf)!” - Tyler (3) I asked my granddaughter,
Scarlett, if I was old. She said “Yep. And you’re fat....” I wish she would have beaten around the bush a little bit… “Mom, I need to borrow your new RSV Bible.” (It’s ESV!) Chloe (8) One day, I took my kids to visit
the restaurant in Branson with the giant chicken in front of it. When we got to the entrance, my daughter said, “So, this is how a worm feels!” - Hannah (6) The word “breakfast” is a challenge in our family. My grandma used to call it “brekwas” and my
daughter used to call it “breftix.” Both versions from two of my favorite little ladies are equally as cute. Me to another driver: “Learn to drive D*$%!!!” My son (exasperated) with an eye roll: “It means Richard!!” “Cheese is bad for my lungs.” Bradley (5) Chloe (8) had a terrible case of the hiccups. She was getting rather frustrated and asked if she could go to Papa Dave’s so she could scare them away. One time my daughter said, “I saw Obama walking down the street! I’m scared! He’s a tourist!” I’m not sure who she saw or what they looked like, but I think she meant Osama Bin Laden, the terrorist. - Hannah (10)

When Dustin was little I would always hear him talking to friends about “the tobacco man.” I finally asked him who the tobacco man was and he said, “You know, Mom, the man that digs dirt for dad.” Oh, “The Backhoe Man!” My Grandson Ely at age 4...he stepped out on the back porch, looked at the sky and stated, “It sure is a cute day, (vs pretty day), out here today, Grandma!” My son calls preschool “pretty school” - Hunter Thomas (4) While doing a Christmas lights scavenger hunt, my daughter exclaimed, “Why can’t I find Satan on a roof??” - Mercy (6) Taking Christmas communion, my daughter said, “Mom, Jesus’ blood tastes like grape juice.” Chloe (8)

Bob Saget - ‘America’s Dad’ - passes away at 65 By DARYL WEATHER American stand-up comedian, actor and television host, Robert (Bob) Lane Saget best known for his roles in “Full House” (1987 to 1995) and “Fuller House” (2016 to 2020), became known as “America’s Dad” (Danny Tanner). He also was the host of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” from 1989 to 1997. In addition, he was the voice of narrator Ted Mosby on the sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.” The Orange County Sheriff’s office confirmed the death of Bob Saget on January 9, 2022. A Tweet from the Orange County Florida Sheriff’s office stated
the following: “Earlier today, deputies were called to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, for a call about an unresponsive man in a hotel room. The man was identified as Robert Saget and pronounced deceased on scene. Detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case.” Many of his co-stars have taken to social media to show their heartbreak, love and respect. John Stamos tweeted: “I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock. I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much, Bobby.” Dave Coulier: “My heart is broken. I love you, Bob. Your forever
brother, Dave.” He was in Florida as part of his “I Don’t Do Negative Comedy Tour.” RIP, Mr Saget. You will indeed be loved and missed by so many! Photo at right, Bob Saget, who passed away January 9 (Special to Branson Globe) Donations Welcomed
