Branson businesses to sue city, aldermen Staff Reports In a press conference held in front of Branson City Hall on Thursday afternoon, Springfield lawyer and former Springfield city councilwoman Kristi Fulnecky announced that she has filed a lawsuit against the City of Branson on behalf of two Branson businesses. The businesses seek an injunction against the city face mask ordinance, which went in to effect on July 31.

A news release, obtained by the Branson Globe, said the action has been filed in Taney County Circuit Court against the city, Mayor Edd Akers, and aldermen Bob Simmons, Bill Skains and Jamie Whiteis. The suit was filed

by Fulnecky on behalf of Jamie Hall, owner of Branson Etched Mugs, 3000 Green Mountain Drive, and Bo Dejager, owner of Foam Brothers, 106 South Drive.

“The mask ordinance not only infringes on the right to privacy of all individuals who live in and visit Branson,” states Fulnecky, “but is detrimental to businesses in the area. In May, local officials estimated tourism dollars to decrease by half just from the pandemic. The mask ordinance is increasing that downward trend.

Tourism is vital to this area and the mask ordinance is directly affecting the bottom line of my clients’ businesses and hindering their livelihood. The Lake of the

City: Branson is enforcing the mandatory face covering ordinance

By Gary J. Groman, a.k.a. The Ole Seagull There have been various social media posts indicating that Branson is not enforcing its mandatory face covering ordinance. This ordinance was effective as of 12:01 AM, on July 31, 2020. It remains in effect until 11:50 PM, September 8, 2020, when it expires in its entirety.

Melody Pettit, the Communications Manager City of Branson,

indicates that Branson is enforcing the ordinance through a three-step process to achieve compliance.

That process includes education, officer discretion, and enforcement.

She said, “Between Friday, July 31, 2020, and noon on August 4, 2020, the Branson Police Department received 15 ‘calls for service’ regarding face coverings.” She also said that all businesses “receiving a call for service are now in com-

pliance.” There were no significant issues with compliance, and no citations were necessary.

That information came as a result of inquiries made to the city on one of those calls for service. A noncompliant Branson business was the subject of a “call for service” by the Branson Police on July 31.

More than 20 area businesses and individuals have donated to provide 1,400 backpacks and school supplies that will be given away at the Bash. Families will stay in their cars, as staff handout the free items. Children must be present to get the free backpacks.

In addition, popsicles, music, a motorcycle and BMX stunt show, treats, and drinking cups stuffed with bubble gum will be provided, also free of charge while supplies last.

Backpacks and school supplies were all donated by individuals, businesses and organizations in Taney County.

the business itself, they told the officer they would “not be hanging the sign.” Even after the officer “went on to quote the ordinance, including the part about store owners needing to wear a mask,” and possible penalties, the owner “very politely” said they would not be wearing a mask because of personal reasons.”

On the morning of August 3, 2020, with the intent to get information on the enforcement process and timeline of this case, an email was sent to Pettit asking the following questions: “Has there been any follow-up action to ensure compliance with the mandatory masking provisions of the Branson Municipal Code by xxxx* business, in downtown Branson?

“What is the city’s enforcement policy in a situation like this where an officer has gone out and educated the business by explaining the provisions of the ordinance and the business openly and blatantly does not comply?

“How much time does a business have to comply after being reported and receiving a warning from an officer to comply?

“How much wiggle room does a business, who knows what they are supposed to do and just doesn’t do it get?”

Late on the afternoon of August

4, an email was received from Pettit saying: “Between Friday, July 31, 2020, and noon on August 4, 2020, the Branson Police Department received 15 calls for service regarding face coverings. There have been no citations and no major issues with compliance.

“All businesses that have received a call for service, are now in compliance. The Branson Police Department responds to complaints when they receive them.

“The Branson Police Department’s enforcement strategy is outlined in the helpful FAQ document, found on the city’s website.

“You can find the full ordinance, the media release, and a helpful FAQ on the city’s website at http:// bransonmo.gov/805/Coronavirus-Informationunder “‘Local Response’.”

“The Police Department uses a three-step process to meet its objective. That process includes education, officer discretion, and enforcement.

Education is the first step in enforcement. The Police Department will work to educate violators of an ordinance before pursuing further action. In this particular case, the education component also included a public education campaign on the city’s website and across all social media channels that included a helpful FAQ document. The city also posted several electronic mes-

sage boards across the city, letting the public know face coverings are required.

“Second is officer discretion.

This provides the officer with the opportunity to use discretion when contacting violators and determining compliance.

“And lastly, the Police Department will use enforcement, like a citation.”

The city’s Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for the ordinance, found at http://www.cityofbranson. org/DocumentCenter/View/12768/ Face-Covering-FAQ-PDF, says “Just like any other City ordinance, violations of the face covering ordinance can be reported by calling 911.”

New Branson restaurant offers quick-serve dining

By K.D. Michaels Staff Writer An exciting new restaurant has opened in Branson. Billed as “Real chefs, real food, real good”, The Rogue Chef opened in July in the former Jimmy Johns location by business partners Jeff Woodward and Ondi Burns.

The Rogue Chef features a variety of fresh, made-fromscratch foods, including sandwiches, appetizers, soups, salads, and a number of house specialties.

Co-owner and Executive Chef Jeff Woodward expound-

ed on the menu.”One of our more popular items has been our many varieties of Mac and Cheese. Our cheese sauce has six specialized cheeses in it, and it’s gluten friendly. Our sandwiches are also very popular. Our Rogue Ruben isn’t a traditional Ruben. We’re making our own saurerkraut. We smoke all of our own meats on a smoker out back, and we use spicy Ranch instead of Thousand Island.”

“We also have Gazpacho, “ added Burns, speaking of the refreshing soup, described on the menu as ‘summer in a bowl’.

“No one else serves Gazpacho!”

Another house specialty is grilled lemonade, a surprisingly popular drink that begins with grilling the lemons on a flat top grill. The tasty beverage has become one of the most talked-about items on The Rogue Chef’s menu.

All of the delicious items are served from an open-concept kitchen where customers can watch their meal being made.

Guests then enjoy the restaurant’s fun and exciting atmosphere as they dine.

Woodward has been in the restaurant industry for most of

the past 18 years, having been a corporate trainer for Houlihan’s restaurant brand in St. Louis before moving to the Branson area. Woodward worked as a pit master at Silver Dollar City and more recently as a chef at Big Cedar before attending Ozarks Technical Community College, where he met Burns.

“I had been an accountant for 15 years, and my husband and I had our own kitchen equipment service company,” Burns explained. “I got tired of staring at a computer screen for eight hours a day, and decided to go to culinary school. Jeff and I

met, and we came up with this plan to open this restaurant.”

Having his own restaurant has been a dream of Woodward’s for years, however opening during a pandemic has proven to be challenging. The Rogue Chef was slated to open in March, just as Covid-19 shut down all but the most essential area businesses.

“It’s picking up slowly,” said Woodward of the new business.

“We are active on social media and have gotten some excellent reviews. We try to talk to as many guests as we can to get feedback. We’re always changing our menu. That’s something we’re going to keep doing, especially for our locals, to keep them interested, because that’s what will sustain us in the slow time.”

Woodward invited everyone to visit the new establishment.

“Just give us a shot. We already have a lot of repeat guests, but we want everyone to just come and check it out. We’re a different environment. We’re fun, we’re energetic, we’re great quick-serve casual dining!”

The Rogue Chef, located at 2715 West 76 Country Boulevard, Suite 104 in Branson, is open Wednesday through Friday, 11 am to 8 pn. The restaurant also serves breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, with weekend hours of 7 am to 8 pm.

College of the Ozarks graduate receives the tenth annual Chris Waller Memorial Scholarship POINT LOOKOUT, MO. — This year marked the 10th year the Chris Waller Memorial Scholarship has been presented to a College of the Ozarks graduate in memory of Chris Waller. The deserving scholarship recipient was Ethan Davidson. Davidson graduated from College of the Ozarks on May 10, 2020. He is from Hollister, Missouri, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in engineering with minors in chemistry and mathematics.

This scholarship is given to College of the Ozarks graduates who possess outstanding character and want to further their education. The money for the scholarship comes from interest off the memorial endowment established in Chris’s memory.

“C of O strengthened the skills of time-management and work ethic in my life,” Davidson said.

“These skills are not only useful in grad school but life after grad school as well.”

Davidson is currently enrolled at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and will begin his Master of Science in mechanical engineering this fall. He plans to work at an engineering firm performing HVAC analysis for industrial or commercial systems.

Al and Marty Waller established the Chris Waller Memorial Scholarship in memory of their son, Chris Waller. Chris graduated from Branson High School and attended College of the Ozarks from 1997-2001 as a mathematics major. Chris was a member of the C of O basketball team for four

City of Branson West passes face covering ordinance

Hometowndailynews.com The City of Branson West is the latest in the Lakes Region to pass a face covering or mask ordinance.

The ordinance, similar to ones already passed in Branson and Forsyth, mandates face coverings or masks in public settings both outside and inside with certain exceptions and situations. In addition, signs will be required to be posted at business requiring face

masks and maintaining social distancing. A fine of up to $50 can be levied against violators of the law, which goes into effect next Wednesday, August 12th, and can be renewed for up to three successive 30-day periods unless rescinded earlier.

The ordinance was passed on two readings at Tuesday’s meeting of the Branson West Board of Alderman.

Lawsuit filed in shooting death of Branson man at Buffalo National River (AP) The family of a camper shot and killed by a Park Ranger at the Buffalo National River in Arkansas three years ago filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the federal government.

Thirty-four-year-old Jonathan Bolger of Branson died at the Spring Creek Campground in Searcy County in August 2017 after he was shot by a Park Fanger.

State and Federal Prosecutors declined to file charges in the death of Bolger, who authorities said was holding an air pistol at the time he was shot.

The lawsuit, however, cites video from the ranger’s body camera that shows Bolger reaching for his truck’s door and not pointing

the pistol at the ranger. According to the lawsuit, the rangers didn’t warn Bolger the use of deadly force was imminent before one of them fired at Bolger.

The lawsuit claims Bolger’s constitutional rights were violated and seeks $15 million in damages against the federal government.

The National Park Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Associated Press.

Bolger was camping at the park with his girlfriend and her three children the night of the shooting.

The rangers said they were on a late-night patrol of campgrounds and parked their pickup down the road to not disturb other campers.

“When we select the recipient of the scholarship, we try to find someone who has mirrored Chris’s life, and Ethan is probably the closest match we have ever had,” Waller said. “He is from the Branson area, played basketball at C of O, and is going to attend the University of Arkansas and major in mechanical engineering.

Ethan is also the brother of Aaron Dalton, who not only played with Chris at C of O but was one of his best friends.”

Carly’s provides a deliciously healthy balance

By David Stoltz News Correspondent A ‘healthy (nutritional) balance’ is the goal of Branson’s newest restaurant.

With a menu that ranges from noodle soups to wok-cooked veggies to meat sandwiches, Carly’s Healthy Cuisine stresses the importance of a 70-30 balance.

“Seventy percent vegetables and thirty percent meat,” said Thomas Wood, who along with his wife Carly Li owns Carly’s Healthy Cuisine at 215 W. Atlantic Street in Branson.

Carly’s Healthy Cuisine is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, with a limited seating of 15 (due to Covid-19 restrictions). With these expanded hours, they hope to accommodate Branson’s working local population along with its many visitors.

“We’re giving folks an alternative to what’s available now,” said Wood. “There are a lot of nice restaurants here, nice people; it’s like a big family.”

Carly has always wanted to operate a restaurant, and “she has a lot of good ideas,” said Wood.

“She knows what good food tastes like and of course to eat healthy

and balanced. I personally thought it was a good idea. We can make it happen. Let’s do it.”

So they opened their restaurant on June 11 in the building which once housed the practice of Daniel F. Stibich, DMD, just up the hill from the Salvation Army thrift store.

Carly’s offers both a rice noodle and fish noodle soup with several vegetables, and wok-cooked veggies features onions, peppers and squash with Carly’s own seasonings. Olive oil is a staple for its low saturated fat.

Sandwiches range from the popular cheese steak sandwich to the Ruben, gyro and roast beef (and several others), and are served with a side salad and house chips.

‘Pot stickers,’ similar to a dumpling are offered steamed, pan fried or deep fried. “A lot of people eat it steamed because of the healthiness of it,” Wood said.

Still, noodles are the best seller, followed by the cashew chicken sandwich and then the cheese steak sandwich.

Gluten-free options include the rice noodles, fish noodles and cashew chicken sandwich with lettuce wrap.

Studying what customers want is “a learning process,” Wood said.

“Because there are a lot of folks here that are gluten free, vegetarian and vegan…. And so we are

learning every day from the people that come and request that kind of meal.”

Besides these menu items, Carly’s offers a variety of teas from

hot or iced tea to bubble tea, as well as a dessert menu.

Discover Nature Notes: the brawny badger ‘digs’ Missouri

By Peg Craft, Missouri Dept. of Conservation The American badger is built for digging. With long claws and

powerful legs, a badger can dig faster than a man with a shovel.

When digging, a badger loosens dirt with its front feet, passes it

under its belly, and kicks it out with its hind feet, sometimes sending dirt five feet in the air!

In the Midwest, badgers live

in open prairie and agricultural land. They dig shallow burrows for living and hunting food. They dig deeper dens lined with grass for rearing young. Females will bear one to five cubs. Cubs head out on their own at around five or six months. American badgers, unlike their European counterparts, are solitary animals. The only exception is mating season which runs from late summer to early fall.

Badgers favor young rabbits and rodents which they dig up.

Aided by strong jaws and sharp

teeth, they are fierce hunters. On defense, their muscular necks and loose fur make them harder to catch. They also defend themselves by hissing or growling and emitting a musky odor.

Badgers can dig faster than their prey. All this digging helps mix and aerate the soil. In the past, badger fur was used to trim coats and make shaving brushes, and their hides were used for rugs. Badgers are important predators.

They find shelter along roadways, fence rows, ditches, banks, and field edges.

Because of their uncommon status in Missouri and a regulated harvest, badgers need no general management in Missouri.

In Missouri, the badger is a Species and Communities of Conservation Concern, listed as “vulnerable to extirpation” because of its restricted range, relatively few populations or occurrences, and recent and widespread declines.

Badgers are occasionally trapped, but their fur is not valuable, so most trappers do not target them.

Phelps, Ohno open up about suicide, depression in new documentary LOS ANGELES (AP) — Athletes Stephen Scherer, Jeret Peterson and Kelly Catlin have two things in common: They all reached their dream of becoming Olympians, and they all died by suicide.

Olympians are known for pushing their bodies to the extreme but much less understood are the mental and emotional rigors paving their road to greatness. Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian in history, says he had suicidal thoughts even at the peak of his remarkable swimming career and calls depression and suicide among Olympic athletes an “epidemic.”

Phelps is opening up about his mental health struggles in “The Weight of Gold,” a new documentary that premiered last week on HBO. The film explores depression and suicide among the world’s top athletes and what should be done to address the problem.

Other high-profile Olympians including speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno, snowboarder Shaun White, skier Bode Miller, hurdler Lolo Jones and figure skater Sasha Cohen also detail their own struggles in the film.

Like Ohno, the vast majority of Olympians spend most of their childhoods competing in their given sport. As they progress, competition becomes the main focus of their lives before family, friends, school or fun.

For years they work toward that goal for what amounts to a competition that lasts minutes or mere seconds.

The difference between winning and losing can be a fraction of a second, and millions are watching.

And then, it’s over. Either for another four years or forever, depending on the athlete and the sport.

“It does define you, and you lose your human identity,” said Jeremy Bloom, a three-time world champion skier and two-time Olympian.

“That’s where it becomes dangerous.

Because at some point, we all lose sports. We all move on. We all retire or the sport kind of shows us the door because we age out. And then we’re left to redefine ourselves.”

That becomes the breaking point for some athletes.

Bloom’s friend, aerial skier Jeret “Speedy” Peterson, killed himself in 2011 just a year and a half after winning a silver medal. He was 29.

To Bloom, Peterson had always seemed like “the happiest guy.” Except the night Peterson knocked on his door at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid around 2005.

“He was in tears. I’ve never seen him cry. He’s like, ‘I just need to talk to you,’” Bloom said recently from his home in Boulder, Colorado. “He really opened up to me about some of the mental struggles that he was he was dealing with.”

“I had no idea the things to ask, the things to say. I just felt like he was having a bad night,” he said. “And I wish I could go back to that moment and know what I know now and be able to be a better support for him ...

And so I said, ‘Well, I better educate myself, better get smarter about it, and I better start talking about it because that’s what Jeret would want me to do.’”

Phelps, a co-executive producer on “The Weight of Gold,” said the need for change also is what drove him to speak up. He and other Olympians are calling on the International Olympic Committee and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee to do much more to address the problem.

Phelps said the first step is “treating people like humans” instead of something on an assembly line.

“We’re just products,” the 35-yearold Phelps said from his home in Scottsdale, Arizona. “It’s frightening.

It’s scary. And it breaks my heart.

Because there are so many people who care so much about our physical well-being but I never saw caring about our mental well-being.”

In a statement to The Associated Press, the IOC said it “recognizes the seriousness of the topic” and assembled a team of international experts to review scientific literature on mental health issues among elite athletes in 2018, resulting in a mental health working group. Bahati Van-

Pelt, chief of athlete services with the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee, said in a statement that the organization has “recognized we can improve.”

“In 2019, we took the important step of creating a dedicated athlete services division — separating athlete care and mental health services

from high performance — to differentiate these services and ensure athletes can access resources and assistance without concern or hesitation,” he said. “We also created a mental health task force comprised of athletes and experts together to inform our work and help us improve athlete health and well-being.”

“Clearly there’s a need for better resources because Olympic athletes are dying,” said “The Weight of Gold” Director Brett Rapkin. “They have this incredibly unique psychological journey they go on and it needs to be paired with appropriate resources to handle it. Those things clearly aren’t there.”

Coast Guard celebrates 230 years of service to our country Submitted to Branson Globe Alexander Hamilton, the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, founded the

Revenue Marine on August 4, 1790.

Today, we know it as the U.S. Coast Guard and celebrate that date as the

The US Coast Guard, founded on August 4. 1790, turns 230 this year.

(Special to Branson Globe)

Coast Guard’s Birthday. Since 1790, the U.S. Coast Guard has kept the nation’s waterways safe, playing a critical role in national security.

It patrols U.S. coasts for drug smugglers, human trafficking and domestic and international terrorism. The Coast Guard has developed technology that combats crime on water and in ports around the clock.

“Last month, I was proud to visit the United States Southern Command in the great State of Florida,” said President Donald Trump. “I was heartened by the tremendous work that our Coast Guard and their fellow service members have accomplished through Southern Command’s counter narcotics surge operations. Since its launch, this whole-of-government

and international operation against transnational organized criminals and their networks has produced more than 1,000 arrests and interdicted 120 metric tons of narcotics—including billions of dollars’ worth of fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and countless other deadly substances.”

The Coast Guard is also part of the International Ice Patrol, which monitors and reports movements of icebergs around the world.

Each day, the men and women of the 43,000 plus active duty Coast Guard, more than 8,000 Reservists and 30,000 Auxiliary members provide services over 3.4 million square miles of Exclusive Economic Zones.

According to uscgboating.org, in a single year, the Coast Guard:

• Responded to 19,790 Search and Rescue cases, saved 3,560 lives and more than $77 million in property.

• Removed 107 metric tons of cocaine bound toward the U.S. via the Transit Zone.

• Continued the deployment of six Patrol Boats and 400 personnel to protect Iraqi critical maritime oil infrastructure and train Iraqi naval forces.

• Conducted 919 escorts and patrols to support 190 domestic U.S. military cargo out-loads.

• Conducted 25,500 container inspections, 5,000 facility safety and marine pollution related inspections, and 1,195 cargo transfer monitors to ensure safety and environmental stewardship of the maritime domain.

• Conducted 1,424 boardings of high interest vessels designated as posing a greater-than-normal risk to the United States.

• Interdicted nearly 3,000 undocumented migrants attempting to illegally enter the United States.

• Conducted over 3,700 safety and security exams on vessels operating on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf.

• Conducted over 11,600 annual inspections on U.S. flag vessels inspected and certificated in accordance with 46 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 2.01-7.

• Conducted 4,603 investigations for reportable marine casualties involving commercial vessels.

• Conducted over 49,000 recreational vessel boardings, issued over 12,000 citations, and visited 1,150 recreational boat manufacturers in conjunction with state efforts to provide education and ensure compliance with federal regulations.

• Conducted over 6,000 fisheries conservation boardings.

• Investigated and responded to over 3,300 pollution incidents.

• Verified more than 70,000 Transportation Worker Identification Credentials.

• Screened over 436,000 vessels, including over 117,000 commercial SEE COAST GUARD, PAGE 15

16 • Aug 7 - 8, 2020 CURIOUSITIES RI issues tax refunds signed by Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Rhode Island mistakenly sent more than 175 tax refund checks signed by Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse, rather than the state treasurer and controller.

The Rhode Island Division of Taxation uses the signatures on test files, which were mistakenly printed on the real checks and sent out on Monday, a spokesperson told WPRI-TV. “No other signature lines were printed besides the two,” said Jade

Borgeson, chief of staff for the Rhode Island Department of Revenue, which includes the taxation division. Mickey Mouse is the cartoon character that was animator and producer Walt Disney’s first big hit.

The checks were tax refunds

for corporate, sales and tax credits mostly to businesses, WJAR-TV reported.

The tax division has voided the checks and will issue new checks signed by General Treasurer Seth Magaziner and State Controller Peter Keenan within one week, Borgeson said.

Rhode Island boy digs up massive 2 1/2-pound mollusk NARRAGANSETT, R.I. (AP) — An 11-year-old Rhode Island boy clamming with his grandfather found a giant quahog that is thought to be one of the largest ever harvested in state waters.

Cooper Monaco, of Wakefield, found the massive mollusk Monday

Cooper Monaco holds the large quahog he found while clamming with his grandfather (AP)

bransonglobe.com in the Weekapaug section of Westerly, and donated it to the University of Rhode Island’s Marine Science Research Facility in Narragansett, the university said in a statement Thursday.

The clam is 5.75 inches (14.5 centimeters) across and weighs nearly 2 1/2 pounds (1.3 kilograms). The state Department of Environmental Management does not keep quahog records, but a typical quahog grows to about 4 inches (10 centimeters) across, the university said.

“I was down on my hands and knees in the water looking for clams, and I touched this huge rock thing,” Cooper said in the statement. “I always pull out rocks and throw them to the side and look under them. And then I felt the edge of it and I thought, ‘holy moly, this is a clam.’ So I pulled it out. It was amazing.”

He knew it was unsually large, so told his mother not to cook it.

Ed Baker, the manager of the URI Marine Science Research Facility, plans to put the quahog on display.

New Wisconsin justice sworn in during ultramarathon MADISON, Wis. (AP) — New Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice

Sportal was in his early 20s when he bought the rusty pickup from a retiring farmer. He drove the truck to work every day at a local grain elevator until he retired five years ago.

Sportal kept driving the truck but decided to sell it to Tom Leenstra, grandson of the late John

VanDerVeen, who originally sold the truck to Sportal.

“It’s like riding with my Grandpa again,” Leenstra said.

The truck has taken on antique value, but Sportal decided to sell it for what he paid for it.“It’s going in the family, so that’s the most important thing,” Sportal said.
