Area citizens take a stand against abortion during Life Chain

We are sad to learn of the passing of Paul Eve, Elvis and Johnny Cash tribute artist at Legends in Concert. He will be missed. Watch for an article next week.

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer Over 400 people lined up along Branson’s 76 Country Boulevard and in Branson West on October 3 for Life Chain 2021, supporting their desire to see legal abortion ended in America. The hundreds who lined the main highway through Branson held signs, prayed and encouraged passersby to choose life and consider alternatives to abortion. For some, it was their first time to participate in Life Chain, but many dedicate the first Sunday in October, known as Life

Veterans Week is Nov. 5 - 11

By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer As the Ozarks fall settles in, along with craft fairs and football games, don’t forget Veterans Homecoming Week is less than a month away. November 5–11 each year, Branson welcomes veterans to a week of special events, shows, reunions, and more, culminating in one of the nation’s largest and best-attended Veterans Day parades. Opening ceremonies will be Friday, November 5, at the Americana Theatre, 2905 W. 76 Country Blvd., 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. All veterans and their families are invited, and there is no admission charge. Earlier that day, a ceremony will welcome the Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall, a half-scale replica of the Vietnam War Memorial in

Washington D.C., open throughout the week at Welk Resort, 1984 St. Hwy. 165. The welcome ceremony will be November 5 at 10 a.m. hosted by Branson Veterans of America 913, with guest speaker State Representative Brian Seitz, U.S. Army Airborne veteran. The annual POW/MIA Remembrance Service hosted by POW Network will be held at the Wall on Monday, November 8, at 8 a.m., featuring guest speaker Maria McCawley. McCawley’s father was a member of the Flying Tigers Flight 739 which mysteriously went missing on a 1962 mission to Saigon. Vocalist for the service will be Susan Manley Heimbach.

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer One of the most recognized voices in the area has retired. Greg Pyron, a radio veteran who spent more than 30 years on the air in the lakes region, announced his retirement on Friday. Pyron, who began his employment in the summer of 1988 at what is now Ozarks DynaCom, was an icon in the area. “He was the one who gave me my job,” explained Ozarks DynaCom’s Scott McCaulley. “At the time he hired me, he was the operations manager and he held

that title for a long period of time, although he had other roles here, as well.” Pyron’s distinctive voice was well known throughout the Ozarks. “Greg’s voice was so distinctive in the community, and in our station, that it’s hard to believe that he’s not here anymore. He left such a lasting impression on the entire region that a lot of people have called him “The Voice of the TriLakes Region,” and he really was. He was just a wealth of knowledge, not only of the station and its operations, but of the history of the

area. He was a great resource to have, and he will be greatly missed. A lot of what we have in place here at the station today is because of his hard work over the last three-plus decades.” Pyron announced his retirement, effective immediately, during last Friday’s broadcast of the Ozarks Now program that he co-hosted with McCaulley. While retiring from the day-today operations of the radio stations, Pyron will still be involved in various Ozarks DynaCom projects and will remain in the Branson area.

Liberty Lectures: Branson Pets of the Week U hosts Senator Mike Moon Tri-Lakes Humane Society, Reeds Spring

By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer On Saturday, October 2, Branson U hosted a free educational session, “What Really Happens in Jefferson City?” with special guest, State Senator Mike Moon. Attendance at the monthly Liberty Lectures is growing as more people realize the importance of understanding how local and state government is supposed to work. The presentation started with a “know the rules” segment, pointing out the Missouri Constitution’s requirements for legislation. The Constitution promotes the general welfare (not handouts); guarantees the right to life (including the unborn); and affirms citizens’ right to liberty and the gains of their own hard work. People hold the power to make sure legislation actually allows and encourages these things, but if constituents don’t hold legislators accountable, that power is easily taken away and the rules simply ignored. Moon pointed out dangerous wording that often finds its way into an otherwise good piece of legislation, using the example of Missouri’s “Right to Farm,” which sounds great until you read the part that says, “subject to duly authorized powers.” (Wait a minute— who are those powers?) He also

reminded attendees that legitimate laws are enacted by elected representatives and not by executives or judges. Citizens have the right to say “no” to unconstitutional laws, and sheriffs can refuse to enforce them at the county level. Senator Moon cited examples of unelected agencies arbitrarily deciding to impose regulations, legislators making decisions based on party loyalty, and “Senate tradition” displacing adherence to the Constitution. He encouraged attendees to look closely at the recent proposed legislation, including ways the fuel tax proposal could affect different levels of the supply chain and increase costs to

consumers, and the prescription drug proposal could result in unexpected complications to people on certain medicines. The lecture was driven home by a mock discussion of an “ice cream bill,” in which selected participants proposed a Vanilla Ice Cream Day with the goal of benefiting Missouri farmers. “Discussion” wandered down numerous trails including a “chocolate amendment,” money for grants to increase tourism, and an amendment changing the spelling of “sherbet” to “sherbert” since that’s how Missourians pronounce it. Moon, as “speaker,” frequently declared a voice vote

All About Me/U-Haul’s 2nd annual ‘Truck or Treat’ at Midtown Plaza Submitted to Branson Globe Fall is here and that means Halloween is just around the corner. All About Me/U-Haul and the Midtown Plaza in Hollister will be holding their annual “Truck or Treat” on Sunday, October 31 from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. Everyone is invited to come and bring their little ones for treats, activities and fun. Multiple area businesses and families participate, sponsoring treat stations

and games so that area children can have a safe and entertaining night. “Our inaugural Truck or Treat last year was a huge success,” said Cameryn Gray, salon manager at All About Me and founder of the event. “With the devastating social effect of Covid last year, we were just hoping that a few kids could have a little break and get the chance to show off their costumes. The response

absolutely blew us away; we stopped counting at 1,000 participants! The feedback was so overwhelmingly positive that we knew immediately we would have to do it again this year.” People of all ages came to the Midtown plaza in Hollister on Highway Business 65 to discover a haunted house, a graveyard, games for the little ones, and a dozen candy stations. The various sponsors were also dressed

Popular Branson eatery and bar closes By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer A popular Branson area restaurant and bar has closed, citing economic uncertainty. Branson Center Stage Grille and Bar, owned by Bill Kitchin and Leah Smith, announced on Saturday that they would be closing their popular establishment, effective immediately. The Kaffee Haus, located in the same building, also closed on Saturday. “It is due to economical reasons,” explained Kitchin, who, along with Smith, had owned and operated Branson Center Stage for six years. “And, Covid had a definite effect on us.” Smith added, “We are very sad. We wish everyone the best, and we’re not going to be strangers. Bill and I will still be around town. I will be looking for some other place to do something. We’re not going away.” Along with being a prime spot

for live entertainment, Branson Center Stage was also home to an open mic night, which recently began and was already popular with locals and visitors alike. “As far as open mic night, we’re going to move that to another venue rather than canceling it,” Smith noted. Kitchin and Smith expressed thankfulness to their staff. Said Smith, “Our staff members will

be looking for work at other places. This is the best team Bill and I have ever had. We would give all of our people great recommendations.” A Facebook post on Saturday said, in part, “To all of our friends and family who have supported us, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will miss your laughs, smiles, camaraderie, but the memories will be with us forever.”

up in costume and enjoyed interacting with the children and adults alike. The event is free to the public and is expected to be even bigger this year with more area businesses joining in on the fun. So show your community spirit and bring your little spooks, ghouls, goblins and even princes and

By Pat Lamb It is wonderful when parents can truly enjoy their children and want to make them happy. It presents a challenge, however, to make children happy and at the same time prepare them for their future. It seems that the idea has permeated our society that we all should be happy and having fun all the time, and that the only good parent is the parent who entertains children and protects them from hardships. Just as a “hot-house” tomato has a difficult time adjusting to the challenges in nature when it is set out in a garden, so do children who have been sheltered from all rules and hardships have a difficult time adjusting to the real world. Adults who work with children need to discover a balance between letting children be

they are doing the right thing. The stress of making decisions without necessary information is removed, and they are happier children. Many well-intentioned parents think that letting their children do what they want to do is helping them. Not true. Children are not equipped to make many decisions by themselves and often make the wrong decisions and get in trouble for doing so. It is much better to make sure they know what is right and wrong before they make the wrong decisions. Important, also, is reinforcement of correct behavior. When a child is told, “You did the right thing,” the child feels a real sense of relief and is inclined to repeat that behavior. It is hard for any parent or teacher to watch a child go through something unpleasant.

However, when we jump in and rescue the child from the consequences of his/her behavior, we become enablers. When we enable a child to do wrong and get by with it, that child grows up thinking that whatever he/ she desires is acceptable, and someone will bail him/her out of trouble.

children and at the same time preparing them for a time when they are unprotected by adults. Children must have guidelines and rules to live by and be required to abide by those rules for their own good. They must be allowed to experience the consequences of the choices they make. With a few exceptions such as birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, etc. they must earn what they receive. Children who have no guidelines are always insecure and uncertain as to what behavior is acceptable and what punishment they may receive for their behavior. They are at loose ends with the world and often express their frustration by exhibiting unacceptable behavior. By contrast, children who have rules and are required to abide by them have a certainty in their minds that

By Tiffany Brown, Staff Writer I got a notification on my phone regarding a certain social app that said, “This app is draining your battery.” True statement. At times it drains me spiritually. Sometimes mentally and physically. I let it drain me of precious time. Of self-worth. Of joy. I unintentionally give it power over me in the name of entertainment. What is draining your battery? Maybe it’s an app. Maybe it’s your TV. Maybe it’s a toxic per-

Let me urge you as well as myself to be more aware of when something starts to suck you dry. Take power over it rather than letting it take the power out of you. Seek God and let him fill you with what it is you are truly longing for. Let peace, not chaos, reign in your heart and mind. Simplify. Purify. Rest.

Seek the Lord while he may be found advice, right? But the adverbial qualifiers “while he may be found” and “while he is near” imply there will be a time when he is not. If that doesn’t dovetail with your concept of a loving God, remember the Bible’s message works as a whole and context is key. I landed in the Isaiah passage after my weekend reading took me to Ps. 32:6, “For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to [God] in a time when [he] may be found.” The context of this Psalm is the misery that results from living in unconfessed sin. The psalmist then rejoices in the relief found by confessing and renouncing sin and living in God’s forgiveness, able to say, “You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall surround me with songs of deliverance.” Similarly, the context of Isaiah and other Old Testament prophets is Israel’s habit of turning away from whole-heartedly following

God. While God does not abandon his covenant promises to his people, there will be a time when God cannot be found to rescue his people because of their sin. The prophets look forward to Jesus, the Messiah, who is the fulfillment of the covenant promises. To experience God’s promises, we must trust Jesus as our Savior and also repent and turn from a sinful lifestyle. Isaiah goes on to admonish Israel to forsake wickedness and return to the Lord; Psalm 32 goes on to state that God will guide the forgiven believer in the right way to live. The New Testament supports the same concept. Written to early Christians, 1 John 1:6–8 warns against claiming to have fellowship with Christ while continuing to sin; but in v.9 we are assured of forgiveness if we confess and renounce sin. Matthew 25 warns that at the end of the age, some will approach Christ confident-

As the country continues to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s crucial lawmakers and the public remember research into other diseases beyond COVID must continue. That’s why I recently took part in a virtual event where I met with Tanner Warbinton, Rep. Billy Long’s staff, as a volunteer for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.

During this meeting, I made it clear that the people of Missouri are counting on our lawmakers to increase funding for cancer research and prevention. With more than 600,000 Americans expected to die from cancer this year, including 12,960 in Missouri, now is not the time to take a break. We are at a point where advancements in research are saving more lives than

ever, and we must keep this momentum going forward. Now is not the time to turn back the clock on progress made. Now is the time to invest in lifesaving cancer research. By increasing medical research funding at the National Institutes of Health, we can continue to make progress in the fight against cancer. Lisa Wilfong Branson, Missouri

are some things that we are supposed to do whether there is a reward or not. One school in IL, where our daughter taught, rewarded children for doing their homework by taking them to McDonalds on Fridays. This, in my opinion, is not a good way to use rewards. Homework is something that children should do without getting a material reward. One NEA magazine had an article some time back about paying children to go to school. Is it any wonder that we are

living in an entitlement generation when this kind of thinking abounds? Ideally, parents should decide in their own minds how they want their children to “turn out” as to character traits and keep this goal in mind in everyday contact with their children. We can’t just let our children always be happy-go-lucky without responsibilities and rules and expect them to someday display responsibilities without material rewards.

A teacher friend of mine often said, “Virtue is its own reward.” There

Taken with the Psalms and prophets, these New Testament passages are a warning to be seeking God daily and continuing to grow in our faith. None of those scriptures were written during a godly cultural context. Today we are surrounded by a lack of moral absolutes, censorship of Christian beliefs, and in many places, outright persecution. It’s much more comfortable to appear tolerant of certain lifestyles or dismiss scriptural commands as only applicable “back then,” rather than truly examining Jesus’ words and the teaching of

Black Walnuts & Memories By Joshua Heston, editor-in-chief, StateoftheOzarks Media & Design It’s nearly black walnut season and I hope it will be a good year.

the apostles. I fear those who are influenced by culture rather than basing decisions and lifestyle on the Bible may indeed find themselves seeking the Lord when he will not be found. This won’t be because God’s love has changed, but because people have rejected his loving provision for forgiveness. If you’ve been “on the fence” about issues that clearly violate biblical standards, now is a great time to confess, repent and turn. As the Psalmist rejoiced in relief and forgiveness, those who follow Christ have peaceful hearts now and eternity in heaven to look forward to.

Watching my grandpa sit in his lawn chair in his garage, talking, smoking, and cracking walnuts over the chunk of railroad rail he had for just such purposes. And later, sitting on the concrete alone, cross-legged as my feet went numb, cracking black walnuts with a hammer, listening to the timber owls as they began to wake up a hot autumnal evening… I distinctly remember playing The Chapmans’ album “Follow Me” a lot that particular season. Somehow, as it does, certain songs have a way of sticking with you and John Chapman’s tenor vocals on plaintive ballads like “My Heart’s Bouquet” fit mighty well for a season like that. There’s nothing I can do to stop its dying But still its fragrance lingers with each passing But even if its petals now are withered It’s still the sweetest flower in my heart’s bouquet… The season is already passing fast.

He explained that voice votes are easily swayed and allow “hiding” in the group; representatives can and should demand roll call votes on close issues. The discussion, while hilarious, illustrated the constitutional rule against using amendments to change a bill’s original intent. Moon gave real examples where the legislature did exactly that, and encouraged attendees to do research at mo.house.gov or senate.mo.gov. Bills can be viewed as originally proposed, along with the TAFP (Truly Agreed and Finally Passed) version; one example had 68 amendments and changes of which the public was largely not made aware. In closing, both Senator Moon and Branson U communications director Pearl Haining urged the

College of Ozarks hosts area appreciation for patriotic play Submitted to Branson Globe The College of the Ozarks is presenting “A Flight to Faith: The Story of a Vietnam P.O.W.” This riveting and true story chronicles the journey of an American hero, Colonel John Clark. The play is produced and performed by students at College of the Ozarks. The showing of a patriotic play is a fall tradition at College of the Ozarks. Performances are free and open to the public. Tickets are not required; seating is first-come, first-served. Mark Young, professor of theatre and director of the production, derived the play from the book, “Vietnam 101: A Class Like No Other,” written by President Jerry C. Davis. This year’s play was written with the help of five College of the Ozarks students during the summer 2021 Work Education Program. These five students include Susie Johnson, senior musical theatre major; Jacob Robbins, senior biblical and theological studies major; Nicholas Sutton, senior

theatre major; Izzy Sutton, senior theatre major; and Elijah Wolfard, sophomore biblical and theological studies major. Play Synopsis For 2,176 days, Colonel John Clark was held captive in the infamous “Hanoi Hilton” as a P.O.W. during the Vietnam War. He endured starvation, a deadly sickness, and mental and physical torture at the hands of the enemy. To his family, he was reported MIA and presumed dead. Play dates Performances will take place in The Keeter Center’s Royal Oak Forum. The play’s duration is approximately one hour and 10 minutes. Show dates for the 2 p.m. performances: October 12, 14, 19, 26, 28 November 2, 16 Show dates for the 3 p.m. performances: October 9, 23 November 7, 11, 13, 14 Show dates for a special 7 p.m. performance: November 9, 11

First, a little context. What do you think the value of the name Mardi Gras is to the city of New Orleans? Millions, right? Multiple millions of dollars. So if some new-fangled idea came into a city, particularly New Orleans, and got rid of Mardi Gras and decided to call that season something else, there’d be a heck of a to-do about it, wouldn’t there. Well, that’s what’s happened in Branson right under our nose, right under our watch. It’s been done without any research or community OK. If such a thing happened in New Orleans, they’d take them out and tar and feather them. A trade name, a tag line, or a

logo has extreme value to cities and corporations. It’s used to unify the memories around the event. When a person sees them, their brain releases endorphins and memories. Well, for one of Branson’s most important trade lines those memories can no longer be attached because we dropped the name [Ozark Mountain Christmas]. …. Oddly enough, it’s so crazy that city councils of the past didn’t believe it when over 30 business people came before them to ask them to take responsibility to look at the situation. None of this existing Board was here in 2015 when that effort began; however, in years 2016, 17, 18, and 19 videos have been released by myself about this particular issue, including me coming to the Board in 2019. The words

“Ozark Mountain Christmas” have been dropped from Branson’s marketing, seemingly in favor of “America’s Christmas Tree City” despite overwhelming community and watchdog efforts not to have this happen. As of today, in spite of being well inside the 60-day window of marketing for “Ozark Mountain Christmas,” which begins on November 1, those words do not appear on the community’s official website on its Christmas Landing Page. Instead, “America’s Christmas Tree City” does. It’s not on any of the other pages that link directly to that. There’s a significant documented history of how that occurred. I have all of that information. I beg you, for the sake of the community, to look into this issue. Thank you very much.

• LIFE CHAIN

Continued from page 1

Among the many Tri-Lakes area residents to participate was State Representative Brian Seitz. “I have been participating in Life Chain for decades, as Christians have gathered to silently pray for the unborn,” explained Seitz. “This demonstration is important, and if even one unborn life is saved because of it, it is a success. The political winds are shifting, and we are closer to overturning Roe v. Wade than ever before. During the upcoming legislative session, I will be introducing legislation to further protect the rights of the unborn here in Missouri. The time is now to end the practice of abortion in our nation.”

Scotty’s Trout Dock, LOZ Lures trout tournament benefits BVA 913 By Gary J. Groman, Independent Writer Scotty’s Trout Dock & Marina (Scotty’s) and LOZ Lures are sponsoring a trout tournament to benefit the Branson Veterans of America 913 (BVA 913) on Saturday, October 16, 2021. The tournament is at Scotty’s Trout Dock & Marina, 400 Box Car Willie Drive, at the southeastern corner of the Branson Lakeside RV Park. The safety and tournament rules briefing will be at 7:45, with the send-off starting immediately after that. To register for the tournament, call Scotty’s at 417-334-4288.

HP Wright, co-operator of Scotty’s with his wife Megan, said they are hosting the tournament to help raise funds for BVA-913 to help them provide services to Branson’s Veterans and their families. Team entry donations are $50, with 50% of the fee going to the Branson Veterans of America 913 and the other 50% to the Anglers Prize Pool (Pool) as follows: 1St Place = 35% of the Pool plus six (6) custom hand-painted LOZ Lures 2nd Place = 10% of the Pool plus sour (4) custom hand-painted LOZ Lures

10% OFF AREA APPRECIATION FOR STONE AND TANEY COUNTIES THRU THE END OF OCTOBER

3rd Place = 5% of the Pool plus two (2) custom hand-painted LOZ Lures In addition, there is a separate optional, Big Trout Pot. The pot already has $100 in it. Of those who enter, paying $5 each, the fisherman weighing in the biggest trout will receive the $100 plus 100% of the pot. If 40 fishermen enter, the total prize will be $100 plus $200 for $300. Tournament rules require full compliance with all applicable fish and game laws of the Missouri Department of Conservation, all trout must be caught below Fall Creek, and no chumming. No more than eight (8) trout will be weighed in. Of these, one brown trout per con-

testant, which must be 20 inches or longer, may be included. In the case of a tie, the largest fish of the tying stringers will determine the winner. The send-off will be in the order of registration starting at 8 a.m. and ending no later than 9 a.m. Live wells will be checked at send-off. Although contestants may weigh in at any time, the official weigh-in is at 5 p.m. Contestants must have either weighed in or be in line for the weigh-in no later than 5 p.m. Those weighing in early do not have to be present at the weigh-in.

shows in that given year. Said Howden, “This year’s award was given to the Hughes Family, and specifically in recognition of the family’s matriarch, Mrs. Lena Hughes. The Hughes family has been at the forefront of the Song of Hope movement since its inception and continues to support the mission statement that ‘live music should continue to be the number one driver to our market.’ Mrs. Hughes is a champion of this cause, serving on nearly every board and commission that has been formed in the last decade to advocate for our shows. As president of this organization, I cannot think of a more deserving person and family.” The Hughes family brought their musical talents to Branson in 1995, when the five Hughes Brothers – Marty, Adam, Jason, Ryan and Andy – began performing at Silver Dollar City. A few years later the family was given the opportunity to purchase the iconic Roy Clark Celebrity Theatre on Branson’s famed 76 Country Boulevard. The shows now feature four of the five Hughes Brothers, plus their gifted wives, children and even grandchildren.

Taneyhills Library hosts ‘Think Before You Click’ online security class

By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer Whenever you use your computer, smartphone, or tablet for work, socializing, or entertainment, you’re at risk for security issues, sometimes referred to as “hacking.” A little knowledge can go a long way in keeping your devices and personal information safe from scams and fraud, and October is Cybersecurity Awareness month, a good time to think about your online habits and learn to protect yourself. Taneyhills Library recently hosted a free class, “Think Be-

fore You Click,” for library patrons. Here are a few highlights from the session, taught by Scott Ford, technology and security specialist at Branson Bank. Ford began by clarifying that “hackers,” commonly thought of as computer geniuses creating innovative ways to break into complicated systems, are more often just unscrupulous fraudsters using social engineering and deceit to trick people of good faith into giving out their information. By being aware, you can take steps to avoid being deceived.

Here are some of Ford’s tips: • Real companies will not call to “help” you with your computer and say things like “You have a virus! We need remote access to help you fix it!” (No, they don’t.) • If you get an email saying you’ve been billed for a service such as anti-virus protection or computer insurance and telling you to click for details, DON’T Click. Check with your bank; you haven’t really been billed, but you will be if you click on that link! • No reputable company will EVER ask you to pay for anything with a gift card. • Computer pop-ups are not your friend. • Develop a healthy suspicion of every email that hits your

inbox: Suspect attachments and links and any emails with poor English grammar and usage. Hover (don’t click!) your mouse over the sender’s email or any links; you may see a crazy string of characters and not a reputable company name. • Enable and use multi-factor authentication as an extra layer of protection in addition to passwords. • Don’t use the same password for all your log-ins. (This amounts to turning over the Keys to the Kingdom, says Ford.) Use a password manager if you have trouble remembering passwords; don’t keep them in a Word or Excel document on the computer. • Use a good retail anti-virus software that comes with

real support. (You call them; they don’t cold-call you!) • Keep your equipment up-todate; a four-year refresh cycle is normal. • Have your computer checked out annually by a professional. Ford also suggested occasionally checking the Federal Trade Commission’s list of scam alerts to see what to watch for. Visit https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/ features/scam-alerts. You can also report fraud and scams at this site. A big thanks to Branson Bank for sharing Mr. Ford’s expertise, and Taneyhills Library for making this session available.

Southern Missouri Arts Connection will host ‘Post-It Note’ exhibit Submitted to Branson Globe The Post-It Note: 3”x3” Show returns to the gallery for the second year at the Southern Missouri Arts Connection (SMAC) Art Center, at 7 Downing Street, Hollister. This event is not only a show to see great art from many regional and local artists, but also a fundraiser to support SMAC’s efforts to keep the arts alive and well within the Hollister/Branson community. The exhibit runs the

entire month of October. Viewing times for the show will be on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 12:30-5 p.m. Appointments for viewing at other times can be arranged by calling the center at 417- 598-1568. This miniature show will boast an eclectic mix of mini masterpieces. “Last year we had more than 400 pieces of art from 40 artists,” SMAC President Tenille Blair-Neff said. “We won’t know

the exact number participating until next week, but I’m expecting similar participation this year.” There should be something for every taste, created with different mediums, styles and substrates—from a variety of papers, wood panels and mini canvases, some even on Post-It Notes. Each piece will be sold for only $5. It is a rare opportunity to purchase a piece of artwork from a favorite local or regional artist for

less than a happy meal. “The first night is special,” Ms. Blair-Neff said. “There is electricity and excitement in the air as people rush to snatch their favorites off the walls before someone else does.” She further explained that once an item is purchased the buyer takes it home that night. There is no waiting until the end of the month, like at other shows. And all pieces are sold on a firstcome basis. Even with art flying

out the door the first night, there will still be plenty of art yet to be seen and had throughout the month. Southern Missouri Arts Connection (SMAC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit local center of creativity, art education, innovation, and community partnership, strives to improve the quality of life in southern Missouri by connecting individuals with the arts, for the benefit of all.

Why should you have brake inspection services performed at Young’s Lakeside Tire & Wheel? ADVERTISEMENT – Brake inspections are crucial to ensuring safe driving conditions. Determining when to seek an inspection will depend on your driving conditions and preferences. The goal of our brake inspection is to find, diagnose and discuss any issues while recommending brake repair procedures. During a brake inspection, we may discover that your brake system requires new brake pads or shoes, or the installation of new brake calipers or wheel cylinders. Alternatively, we may need to drain and replace your old brake fluid to rid the brake lines of air, dirt and other contaminants. If your brake lines and hoses

show cracks or heat damage, we may suggest replacements. To restore maximum braking ability, the rotors or drums of your disc or drum brake system might also need to be replaced. Our methods and items for repair will vary by inspection, so

please contact us online or give us a call to learn more about brake maintenance. We proudly service the brake inspection needs of customers in Branson, MO; Hollister, MO; Kirbyville, MO; and surrounding areas.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Lessen your risk factors Source: cdc.gov Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual health campaign raising awareness on the early detection and treatment of breast cancer and showing support for those affected by this disease. The American Cancer Society leads the fight through research and education on lessening risk factors and improving lifestyle habits such as consuming a healthy diet, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol intake. Statistics from breastcancer. org, indicate that in 2021, breast cancer became the most common cancer globally. Breast

cancer affects women of all ages. About 85% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer. During October, emphasis is placed on breast cancer detection through regular self-exams and mammography—an effective screening tool for detecting breast cancer at its earliest stages when it is easier to treat. Self-exams are vital, and symptoms to watch for include any change in the size or shape of the breast; pain; nipple discharge (other than breast milk); lump in the breast or underarm area. Follow up with a health care provider with these or other new symptoms.

Dedicated to the one I love... By Stephanie Barney, Owner, Lightspeed Electrical Everyone deserves a dedicated relationship…even your home appliances. That’s right; some appliances need what is called a “dedicated circuit” because sharing a circuit with other appliances can cause expensive damage. For example, a refrigerator should always be on its own dedicated circuit (with its own breaker) for several reasons. First of all, your refrigerator is one of the higher amp-drawing appliances in your kitchen. When it shares a circuit with coffee makers, toasters and microwaves, it can easily overload a 15 or 20 amp circuit. Translation: Your breaker will trip when several appliances are being used simultaneously. This causes excessive wear and tear on your breaker…and your refrigerator components.

Secondly, many refrigerators have been tied into an existing countertop circuit where the outlets are GFCI protected. That’s a good thing, right? Nope. GFCI

Stephanie Barney, Owner (Special to Branson Globe)

outlets are notorious for “nuisance tripping” in the presence of moisture and when that happens, the circuit feeding your refrigerator goes dead…resulting in a lot of spoiled food. Lastly, control boards in modern appliances like refrigerators, stoves and dryers are very sensitive. Improper circuitry can ruin the high-tech electronics in today’s equipment. This is a detail that often gets overlooked when someone purchases a new dryer that requires 240v power (4-wire system) and tries to make it run using the existing 120v circuit (or 3-wire system). If you are upgrading your appliances, or even just upgrading to GFCI outlets in the kitchen, have a professional electrician help to install the proper circuitry to protect your appliances. The team at Lightspeed Electrical is happy to help. Call 417-239-5050.

Presenting the award on behalf of the school district was Mrs. Amy Jo Kilgore, Hollister Early Childhood Center Assistant Principal. “Mr. Gilberti’s is a true community partner that deeply cares for the students and families of Hollister,” Kilgore stated. “With many restaurants in the area facing staffing shortages and at times struggling to keep their doors open, several of our past participants were not able to be a part of Taste of Hollister this year. Mr. Gilberti’s did not just participate. They closed their restaurant for

the night, despite the loss of revenue this would bring them. Their message said, ‘Sorry for the inconvenience. We will be at Night of the Tiger supporting our local community and supporting our future children.’ Their commitment to our

school and community shows their dedication to our students, families and school district.” During their participation in Night of the Tiger, Mr. Gilberti’s also won the Taste of Hollister People’s Choice Award.

Tiger-Lily, the two-headed snake, celebrates 4th birthday By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer An Ozarks area celebrity cele-

brated a birthday recently. Tiger-Lily, the two-headed snake

who makes her home at the Missouri Conservation Department Shepherd of the Hills Center, celebrated her fourth birthday on Saturday. Tiger-Lily, who was found four years ago by a couple of teenagers in Hurley, in Stone County, is a black rat snake, otherwise known as a Western Rat Snake. The Western Rat Snake is the most common species of snake in Missouri.

Tiger-Lily, who was about two to three weeks old when she was discovered, was about the length of a pencil. In the wild, a normal snake of her breed would live an average of 10 to 15 years. Tiger-Lily, according to area professionals, would likely not have survived long in the wild, due to her unique circumstances. Born in October of 2017, Tiger-Lily is actually conjoined twins.

Tiger-Lily, the two-headed snake, celebrates birthday (Photo by KD Michaels)

The two snakes, with two individual heads, share the same body. Both heads have some control over their body, making coordinated movement a challenge at times. “She will remain in captivity, and she could live up to 20 years or more,” explained Leah Eden, Naturalist for the Missouri Department of Conservation. “In the wild, it’s not a good survival rate. At first, they were fighting against each other to move but have learned to cooperate and move better.” Tiger-Lily celebrated her fourth birthday in style, with a group of children and adults in attendance at her party. Party-goers enjoyed a snake-themed scavenger hunt, crafts, games and cupcakes. When asked what she thought of her birthday celebration, Tiger-Lily (as interpreted by her handler Alison Bleich) answered, “We’re glad so many people came out to celebrate with us. Did someone bring us a mouse present?”

Hollister Tiger Band 1st in class, places 2nd overall Submitted to Branson Globe The Hollister Tiger Band traveled to Springfield this past weekend to participate in the Valhalla Marching Band Festival at Parkview High School. The festival included 30 high school

marching bands with four classes which were determined by the number of playing members in each band. The Tiger band took first in Class B as well as capturing the outstanding percussion, outstand-

ing auxiliary unit and outstanding soloist awards for their class. The finals competition consisted of the top band from each class, plus the next eight highest scoring bands. A stunning performance of their show, “Royal,” earned the

band second place overall. The HHS band will travel to Springfield again this weekend to compete in southwest Missouri’s premier marching festival, OZARKO, at Missouri State University on Saturday.
