Branson Ferris Wheel lights up for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer On Tuesday evening, one of 76 Country Boulevard’s popular attractions, The Branson Ferris Wheel, was lit up in a prominent and powerful way. That evening the ferris wheel featured a pink ribbon in support of breast cancer awareness, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year the ferris wheel also included the colors green and teal, to represent metastatic breast cancer—cancer that has metastasized or spread to other parts of the body.

According to studies, about one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among female cancer patients, with over 42,000 victims expected to die SEE FERRIS WHEEL, PAGE 2

of breast cancer in 2020.

Metastatic breast cancer, also known as stage IV, is breast cancer that has spread to another organ or another part of the body. For some, the cancer has already spread at the time of their original diagnosis. For others, breast cancer comes back in another part of the body – often the liver, brain, bones or lungs – months or years after the original diagnosis and treatment.

“The Track Family Fun Parks, and the Branson Ferris Wheel support all those affected by breast and metastatic cancer,” said Julie Wilson, of The Track Family Fun Parks. “We love to use the wheel to display important messages in a unique and uplifting way.”

Wilson added that their desire in displaying the ribbon and colors was to educate.

“We hope to increase awareness of this disease for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis and treatment,” Wilson explained. “We hope to educate people about the importance of early screening, tests

Max Pulley lands internship, full-time job with Fortune 500 company Northwestern Mutual Max Pulley, senior business administration major, served as a college financial representative with Northwestern Mutual, based in Olathe, Kansas.

Fortune 500 company Northwestern Mutual is the only company to be recognized by Vault as a top-100 internship program for 24 straight years.

Of the 52,000 college students that have participated in the internship program over the past 50 years, 98 percent reported that it was instrumental to their future careers. Pulley agrees; his summer internship turned into a full-time job.

Northwestern Mutual recognized Pulley as the regional intern of the month for three months straight. He has also ranked among the top three interns in the country.

“I have developed a passion for the work we do here,” Pulley said.

“I am so thankful for the peace of

Many cheered and expressed their appreciation when the pink, green and teal colors hit the Branson Ferris Wheel on Thursday night, as those living with breast cancer and metastatic breast cancer and their friends and family were in attendance.

Taney County resident Deidre McCormick, a survivor of metastatic breast cancer, shared her thoughts. “Stage IV metastatic breast cancer receives two to five percent of research funds collected

by most cancer organizations, and very few people are aware that once diagnosed with MBC, it doesn’t go away,” said McCormick. “The best we patients can hope for is no evidence of active disease. The fact that the Branson Ferris Wheel included MBC and shared the spotlight with the pink awareness ribbon means so much. It is research that will save us all, not just awareness. I believe that once stage IV is cured, cancer is cured, and I appreciate what they have brought to light!”

Brennan Richey serves as junior associate with Remington Research Group

Brennan Richey, senior public relations major, accepted an internship with Remington Research Group (RRG) as a junior associate. RRG is a polling company based in Kansas City, Missouri, formed by Axiom Strategies. The group conducts polls in districts around the country for various political campaigns.

“I have always had a deep interest in politics,” Richey said. “When I had the opportunity to combine my passion for people with my passion for politics, it just made sense.”

Richey will join the RRG team in the spring but continues to work with them part-time remotely throughout her senior year.

“RRG has opened my eyes to a career field I had never considered.

Brian Hofmann works as software engineer with Netsmart Technologies Brian Hofmann, senior computer science and music theory and composition double major, interned with Netsmart Technologies as a software engineer in Kansas City, Kansas. Hofmann has spent the past three summers working with them and will join their team fulltime after the fall semester.

“I’ve always wanted to work for a company whose goal and motto was to help better peoples’ lives,” Hofmann said. “Hearing that this company dedicates themselves to serving clients that directly help people going through mental health issues gave me the drive and purpose to code for them. Each day I knew I was writing code that could potentially, directly influence or even save someone’s life!”

Hofmann had the responsibility of automating the process used in medical offices to fill out patient forms. He created a tool that autopopulated data from the Electronic Health Record (EHR) to fill in specific fields on a form. With this technology, paperwork can be filled out correctly, according to different designs and specifications, with no human interaction.

Hofmann ended his internship

by demonstrating his solution in front of Netsmart’s entire executive panel. To his surprise, they immediately made a plan to push the tool out to their clients.

“I always recommend that people enter a job where they stand behind what the company believes in,” Hofmann said. “Even if the salary looks nice, a job can still get old quickly if you feel no purpose to your work beyond the paycheck.”

Michia Jenkins confirms career path as athletic trainer Michia Jenkins, senior exercise science major, worked with an athletic trainer at Mountain Home High School in Mountain Home, Arkansas.

The athletic trainer, Callie Paden, works for Baxter Regional Medical Center (BRMC). Her primary client is Mountain Home High School, where she provides prevention and rehab treatment for the high school athletes. Jenkins joined her in attending the school’s daily football and volleyball practices and aiding athletes when necessary.

Jenkins works in the athletic training room on campus, and the

combined experience from her workstation and internship has confirmed that this is the profession Jenkins wants to pursue.

“In terms of money, my internship was an “unpaid” position,” Jenkins said. “I would argue, though, that I received payment of a different kind. I gained so much information and learned the routes of my supervisor, which prepared me for exactly what I hope to do in my career.”

Internships at College of the Ozarks typically occur in an offcampus setting and are sponsored by the department in which a student is pursuing a major or minor. The experiences are determined by a faculty member in cooperation with the off-campus supervisor. The internship also includes academic reflection and explicit efforts to connect the internship experience with the student’s classroom learning.

Researcher discovers fossils of new species in eastern Arizona

PETRIFIED FOREST NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. (AP) — Researchers have discovered fossils of a tiny burrowing reptile among a vast expanse of petrified wood in eastern Arizona.

The new species has been named Skybalonyx skapter, a part of a group known as drepanosaurs, from the Triassic Period, about 220 million years ago.

Petrified Forest National Park outside Holbrook is considered one of the premier places to study plants and animals from that period, sometimes known as the dawning age of dinosaurs.

The researchers say the ancient reptiles are strange because of morphologies that include enlarged second claws, bird-like

beaks and tails with claws. They likely looked like a cross between an anteater and a chameleon.

They say the new species could be even stranger because it has claws that allow it to burrow, rather than climb into and live in trees, more like a mole or mole-rat.

The fossils were discovered by a team of researchers from the park, Virginia Tech, the University of Washington, Arizona State University, Idaho State University and the Virginia Museum of Natural History. They published their findings earlier this month in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.

They found the fossils in the summers of 2018 and 2019 using a screen-washing technique.

Dear Branson Community and those interested in Branson, Our finance department, with support from the entire city staff, has just received the Government Finance Officers’ Association Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for 2020. This award reflects our commitment to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting. You can view the award on our website. Congratulations team!

The Chamber of Commerce put on an information session this week titled “202ONE, Cutting Edge Marketing Technology for Every Branson Business.”

The group discussed identifying visitors through cutting-edge cell phone technology, growing tourism this Christmas and into 2021, and understanding the “personas” of our visitors based on travel behavior and desire. The personas are formed from the cell phone data from every visitor from 2018 to the present which tells us the story of our primary visitor types. These personas are available to every local business for free and can be used to better understand our guests. What a great tool that can help all of our businesses.

We conducted a regular board of alderman meeting this Tuesday, October 13, 2020. We had 18 items on the consent agenda and 25 on the regular agenda. One of the items we voted on was the continuation of the face covering

Branson Mayor Edd Akers (FILE)

ordinance. The alderman voted 5 to 1 to keep the ordinance in place.

As we continue working through

pandemic stage 5 (spread), and begin working toward stage 6 (recovery and prep for subsequent waves), it is important to keep the end in mind, the end being a vaccine that is readily available for all citizens of Branson who desire the inoculation. This is an end state, not an end date and the face coverings, along with good hygiene and social distancing, are helping us lead more normal lives until we get to that point where there is a vaccine available. The agenda for this meeting and more information on all of the agenda items can be found in the Agenda Center on our website. As a reminder, all board meetings are live streamed and can be replayed on our website at www.

bransonmo.gov/livestream.

About vaccines: The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends the flu vaccination in the months of September or October. There is still time to get yours! The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services reports that the age group currently with the highest number of cases, yearto-date, are those 25 to 49 years old. You can find more information on the flu on the CDC’s website and the Missouri DHSS’s website.

Thank you to those who continue to pray for our city. Please stay positive, and be thankful for living in the best city in America. Thank you for letting me serve you, Mayor Edd Akers

School of the Ozarks announces National Merit Scholarship Commended Student POINT LOOKOUT, MO. — In Sept. 2020, School of the Ozarks senior Caleb Roberts was announced as a National Merit® Scholarship Commended Student. Out of 1.5 million students entered from around the nation, only 34,000 qualify for this recognition.

A Letter of Commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, notified high school principals and provided them with a certificate to present to each scholastically talented senior.

“School of the Ozarks faculty developed a portrait of a graduate, based on the vision statement of both College of the Ozarks and School of the Ozarks, to develop citizens of Christ-like character who are welleducated, hardworking, and patriotic,” said Brad Dolloff, dean of School of

the Ozarks. “Caleb Roberts is a young man who exemplifies the portrait and the vision. He works very hard, has demonstrated exceptional academic ability and potential, is a patriotic individual, and, above all, seeks to glorify Christ in all he does.”

According to information from the NMSC, commended students are selected based on their skills, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies.

A variety of information is used for NMSC selectors to evaluate: the student’s academic record, information about the school’s curricula and grading system, two sets of test scores, the high school official’s written recommendation, information about the student’s activities and leadership, and the student’s own essay.

Tanger Outlet encourages voting among staff

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer Tanger Outlets, in Branson and across the nation, are doing their part to encourage voter participation in the upcoming election.

Tanger, a leader in the shopping outlet industry, has joined the Civic Alliance, a non-partisan coalition of businesses. The goal of Civic Alliance is to support safe and healthy elections and encourage civic participation among both employees and customers. Tanger Outlet’s union with Civil Alliance is just a part of what the company is doing to support civic engagement prior to the 2020 election.

Tanger also recently teamed up with HeadCount, which is a nonprofit organization that promotes voter registration among young people. The company installed voter registration stations at 24

locations across the countr to assist employees and shoppers alike by offering a convenient way for them to register to vote and find polling place information and registration deadlines.

“At Tanger, we believe our democracy works best when we all participate,” said Stephen Yalof, chief operating officer and president of Tanger Outlets. “We value civic engagement, especially exercising our right to vote, which is why we try to take a number of steps to help our employees and customers navigate this election season. By working together, we can ensure everyone’s voices are heard this November.”

Local ministry helps restore the lives of men

A recent commencement class from New Life Restoration Center (Facebook photo, used with permission)

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer New Life Restoration Center, a non-profit Christian discipleship program, is located in Hollister. The Restoration Center is a residential facility designed to help men face and overcome a wide range of challenges.

The New Life Restoration Center was established in 1990, when the late Jerry Haynes, the founding pastor of Hollister’s New Life Temple had a vision to help men find freedom from lifecontrolling problems, such as drugs and alcohol. Pastor Haynes saw the need for a residential and restoration program for men, and in September of 1990, Danny Burd, now the Director of New Life Restoration

Center and the associate pastor of New Life Temple, moved to Hollister to develop the program.

The Restoration Center offers a 12-month program, focusing on helping men develop a relationship with God, as was Pastor Jerry Haynes’ desire. In addition to housing, the men receive instruction in biblical principles and discipleship. The two-phase program begins with a highly structured seven-month session that focuses on accountability. During the last five months of the program, the residents enjoy more freedom to make daily life decisions.

After deciding to make changes is his life and praying for wisdom and direction, Chris found the number to the New Life Restoration Center,

• LOCAL MINISTRY

Continued from page 10

Center includes morning devotions, correspondence studies in biblical courses, and church attendance.

Residents also receive instruction in practical life skills. The men put those skills to use as they serve as volunteers at Hollister’s New Life Temple.

Another focus of the program is instilling a good work ethic in the residents. Each man at the center is required to find employment, as he learns to become a productive member of the community. This also helps the residents to fulfill any financial obligations that they might have and to regain financial responsibility. Transportation to and from work is provided through the center, and residents contribute a portion of their paychecks to the center to help offset the cost of their room and board.

The Restoration Center houses men from all walks of life. Many come to the center directly from jail, or enroll in the Restoration Center program as an alternative to going to jail. The New Life Restoration Center is currently home to nine men, but many have passed through the doors of the center since its beginning.

“We have a graduation service at the end of the 12-month program,” explained Burd. “We average three graduates per year, and we have had the opportunity to minister to more than 400 people through the years.”

“The reason we continue in this ministry is because we love to see people find real freedom in a relationship with Jesus,” said Burd. “So many people are bound by their environment and years of poor choices. When they get a realization of the freedom available in Christ, we get to watch the amazing transformation from bondage to freedom.”

One such transformation was that of Chris, who attended and commenced the program at New Life Restoration Center. Chris grew up in a life of addiction and

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A ring-tailed lemur stolen from the San Francisco Zoo has been found, police said Thursday.

The 21-year-old male lemur named Maki was discovered missing shortly before the zoo opened to visitors on Wednesday.

Investigators found evidence of a forced entry to the lemur enclosure.

Someone called police Thursday evening to say that Maki was

Detectives are still investigating the break-in.

Maki was born at the zoo in 1999 and has an offspring in the enclosure, zoo spokeswoman Nancy Chan said.

Lemur located after break-in at San Francisco Zoo spotted in Daly City, a few miles south of the zoo, officials said.

“Around 5pm, we got a report he was in the playground area of the Hope Lutheran Church. We contained him until staff from the zoo took him back home,” Daly City police tweeted.

Maki was found to be in good health and was transported back to the zoo, San Francisco police said in a statement.

The outdoor lemur habitat houses seven different lemur species native to Madagascar, according to the zoo’s website.

Some are endangered.

“Guests can see the lemurs

“Our current system really cuts voters off at the knees,” she said.

“You get to vote one time in a crowded Democratic primary race, and whoever wins that race, even if it’s only with 25% of the vote, that person is going to represent you.”

The African-American Aldermanic Caucus opposes the measure, predicting in a statement that Prop D would be the end of the

Democratic Party in St. Louis, and would “obscure true debates and issue-driven dialogue among candidates.” Rusch countered that Prop D is seeing strong support.

It’s been endorsed by the St. Louis American, St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Democratic congressional candidate Cori Bush.

Chris Raleigh, director of campaigns and advocacy for the Center for Election Science, which helped Fargo, ND, become the first city in the United States to enact approval voting this year.

He said some St. Louis residents don’t vote in city elections because they fear their vote will be split or spoiled.

“People have angst about city government. We also see it all over the country,” he said. “We looked at the top 100 cities and 60% of people voted against the top votegetter – oftentimes the person who becomes the mayor – in these primaries. So, this is a bit of an epidemic.”

Raleigh said polling shows the approval-voting process improves voter turnout and engagement.

If passed, the measure would be in effect for the spring 2021 municipal elections.

Federal health officials planning now to get COVID-19 shots to nursing homes

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal health officials on Friday unveiled a plan to get yet-to-beapproved coronavirus vaccines to nursing home residents free of charge, enlisting two national pharmacy chains to help.

Such a vaccine is not yet available.

The distribution program is contingent on the Food and Drug Administration authorizing a vaccine, which does not appear to be imminent. While one nursing home industry group endorsed the administration’s effort, another one was guarded in its reaction.

Under the voluntary program, trained staff from CVS and Walgreens would deliver the vaccines to each nursing home and administer shots. Assistedliving facilities and residential group homes can also participate.

Nursing home staffers can be vaccinated, too, if they have not already received their shots.

Needles, syringes and other necessary equipment will be included.

The idea is to give hardpressed states an all-inclusive

system for vaccinating their most vulnerable residents, said Paul Mango, a senior policy adviser at the Department of Health and Human Services. “We are trying to eliminate all potential barriers to getting folks safe and effective vaccines,” Mango said.

The nation has 15,000-16,000 nursing homes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There may be another 20,000-45,000 assisted living facilities and similar kinds of settings for elderly and disabled people.

People in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities account for less than 1% of the U.S. population, but they represent about 40% of the deaths from COVID-19, with more than 83,600 fatalities logged by the COVID Tracking Project.

The Trump administration’s initial attempts to promote coronavirus testing in nursing homes and to ensure sufficient supplies of protective gear were hampered by missteps and led to widespread complaints from SEE NURSING HOMES, PAGE 19

constantly changing rules for operating in a pandemic, and survival is even tougher. Across the U.S., it’s estimated that hundreds of thousands of small businesses have closed.

Despite that, some new businesses like Griffin’s are forging ahead with openings or expansions in 2020, finding ways to make it work amid unprecedented uncertainty.

Griffin pivoted to takeout, creating a condensed, familystyle menu, and expanded Proof’s outdoor patio. They limped along for a few months, but as cases spiked in July and the city’s bars were put on a 10 p.m. curfew, he closed up shop. Proof re-opened last month to a steady crowd after eight weeks of being shuttered, serving takeout pizza on one side and barbecue on the other.

Despite the challenges, some analysts say the pandemic has created a climate for businesses to flourish if they can distinguish themselves. Interest rates for loans are lower, along with lease prices.

There’s less competition to borrow

start-up capital and, more than ever, there’s a cachet to being the shiny new thing on the block during a humdrum period when people are stuck at home.

“For all the small business that aren’t open, if you can open, that just makes you more powerful,” said Marshal Cohen, a retail analyst for trend group NPD. And prospective entrepreneurs are still at least thinking about starting businesses, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.

The number of applications for business tax identification numbers was down more than a third at the end of March compared to yearearlier levels; in the week that ended Oct. 3, the most recent data available, they were up nearly 40% over the same week a year earlier.

The applications don’t necessarily mean businesses were started, but the numbers do show that despite the virus’s grip on the economy, people were considering it.

Square, a company that helps companies process credit card payments, said one in three of its new clients in the second quarter of 2020 were new businesses; and Stripe, another payment processing company, reported that the new

businesses using its platform that have opened since the pandemic have generated over $10 billion in revenue.

“The interruption that it created is an extra hurdle that we have to overcome, but it also lends itself to being a business opening up in a

period of time when you have very little competition,” Cohen said.

In Florida, as the vast majority of fitness clubs switched to virtual classes, Legacy Fit took the opposite approach. The state was one of the nation’s COVID-19 hot spots in July, but CEO Manning

Sumner decided to open new studios in Fort Lauderdale and Pembroke Pines, hosting classes in a ballroom-sized outdoor tent to ensure safety, while allowing clients to exercise in person.

with Jesus, he helped me to be more established and has helped sharpen my own relationship with Jesus. I entered the program in January of 2014 and graduated in January of 2015. I have been a live-in staff

member of New Life Restoration Center since that time.”

Chris credits New Life Restoration Center and God for the life he enjoys today.

“God restored everything in my life. He restored my relationship with my son, who is nine now,”

said Chris. “I have no idea how that would have happened if I had never gone to the program and followed the instruction, authority and leadership of New Life Temple and the New Life Restoration Center.”

His gamble paid off. The classes are packed, the franchise is flourishing and he’s planning to expand in Texas.

“People have missed community.

They are anxious to get back to group exercise,” Sumner said. “For the average class-goer, the novelty of isolated, virtual workouts has worn off. ” Upscale boutique hotel chain Aparium was deep into construction on six new hotels when the virus hit. It was too expensive to turn back, but the company was keenly aware that timelines would be significantly derailed, cutting into profit margins by millions.

The virus’ domino effect seemed unending. Construction crews tested positive, so they added a nurse to the staff, created separate break rooms, and conducted temperature checks religiously.

Shipping and vendor delays forced them to source new materials. In a typical tourist economy, the hotel would have about 150 employees, but they ended up hiring less than half the staff they originally anticipated for the Tampa, Florida location, which opened in September.

Another hotel is opening soon in Des Moines, Iowa, although both projects were originally slated to finish in April or May. “Our financial projections preCOVID, we had to toss out the window,” said co-founder Mario Tricoci. “We’re doing all we can to break even in 2020 when we

nursing home operators and advocates for older people. The vaccine program seems designed to get ahead of problems at a time when President Donald Trump is battling to hang on to support from older voters in his reelection campaign.

Earlier this month, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine recommended that the initial,

bransonglobe.com reopen and probably the first half of 2021.”

But Aparium serves a niche market that Tricoci said makes him optimistic. Their 100- to 200-room hotels don’t cater to conventions and business travelers, a market that has dried up during the pandemic.

Instead, they aim to be the place for leisure travelers to be seen at the lobby bar or restaurant.

In an exceptionally harsh economic climate, businesses owners say it’s crucial to fill a void in the market, while being able to adapt rapidly.

First-time business owners Daniel and Lynette Sabillon said each week feels like a new business at their Glendale, Arizona, coffee shop, which opened in May. The Black Sheep Coffee owners nixed the grand opening they’d dreamed of, postponed serving food in favor of a smaller, beverage-only menu, and couldn’t hire any additional staff.

They’ve noticed few patterns to base meaningful decisions on, saying one Monday it’s packed and they have to make three trips for more supplies and another Monday, “it’s crickets,” said Daniel Sabillon, who has focused heavily on specialty marketing to drum up business.

“We’ve been loose in the saddle.

Every week honestly we’ve had to pivot our strategy to something else,” said Sabillon, a Honduran native who is growing his own coffee beans there. “If you don’t embrace the change, you’re going to get lost in it.” limited doses of vaccine should go to first responders and highrisk health care workers. Those next in line should include older residents of nursing homes, the National Academies said, noting that who gets the shots will depend on age guidelines determined by the data on vaccine safety and efficacy.

There are many unanswered questions about the vaccines now undergoing clinical trials, SEE NURSING HOMES, PAGE 19

bransonglobe.com Oct. 18 - 20, 2020 • 19 • NURSING HOMES Continued from page 18

including how well they will work to prevent infection. It’s also not known whether they will be equally protective for older adults.

But COVID-19 vaccine studies are recruiting people over 65 and even into their 80s because it will be crucial to find out.

Nonetheless, the largest nursing home industry group applauded the administration’s action.

“We’re recommending that our members participate in this program, sign up and get everything ready to go,” said Dr. David Gifford, chief medical officer for the American Health Care Association. “Not to do that would be unfair to residents and staff.”

Planning now will save time, Gifford said.

A smaller group, representing nonprofit homes, was more reserved.

“It’s heartening to see that the administration’s planning

has begun,” Katie Smith Sloan, president of LeadingAge, said in a statement. “The vaccine is still months away, so there is time to get this right.

“We look forward to learning more about how it will roll out.”

The vaccination plan for nursing homes has been set up under Operation Warp Speed, a White House-backed initiative to quickly produce and distribute hundreds of millions of doses of approved vaccines, enough for every American. The effort involves HHS and the Defense Department, as well as drugmakers and other private companies.

Mango said he anticipates that if a vaccine is approved this year, initial supplies will be limited. Availability will improve markedly in the first three months of 2021, he said.

HHS is asking nursing homes to sign up for the program, but the allocation of vaccines will be done through state and

territorial governments.

Nursing homes and long-term care facilities will not be charged.

CVS and Walgreens will be reimbursed at standard Medicare rates for administering the shots, officials said.

The use of retail chain pharmacies has prompted some

concerns, because nursing homes typically deal with specialized pharmacies and not the big drugstores catering to consumers.

Michael Wasserman, a geriatrician and past president of the California Association of Long Term Care Medicine, said chain retail pharmacies “don’t

necessarily have any clue what it takes to deliver pharmaceuticals to nursing homes. There are longterm care pharmacies that do this all the time.”

Mango said the plan would accommodate nursing homes that want to continue to work with specialized pharmacies.

Tiler Peck missed dancing onstage. She went and found one.

When Tiler Peck started giving Instagram ballet classes from her mom’s kitchen in California this spring — a way of staying in shape and keeping in touch with dance fans — she initially thought

maybe 20 people would tune in.

She was startled to discover that thousands of people were joining, from as far away as Iran and India, to take class with one of the world’s top ballerinas. It

was that obvious hunger out there for dance, says Peck, a principal dancer at New York City Ballet, that inspired her to go farther.

Dance troupes were putting out great digital content, but it wasn’t

new work. And theaters were dark, their stages unused. “I was getting so many messages, saying ‘I miss going to the theater so much,’” Peck says. “There was this void there. And I started thinking ... all of our theaters are dark, the stages are empty. Why can’t we put on a performance?”

So Peck gathered together

some of her favorite artists, found a theater and a partner in CLI Studios, which specializes in dance education, and launched “A New Stage,” which begins streaming Friday. The first installment stars Peck along with famed Memphis “jookin” dancer SEE TILER PECK, PAGE 21

Lil Buck, Broadway singer Sierra Boggess, ballet dancer Brooklyn Mack, and the female tap-dancing band Syncopated Ladies.

Noted ballet and Broadway choreographer Christopher Wheeldon contributes a world premiere, choreographed via Zoom, with Peck dancing to vocals by Boggess. Other works are by Chloe Arnold and Jennifer Weber.

Peck, 31, sat down to tell The Associated Press about the project, the challenges of putting it together during a pandemic, and the joy she felt in performing on a stage -- even without an audience. (The interview has been condensed for length.)

AP: It must have been frustrating to not dance for so many months.

PECK: I’m not the kind of person that likes to sit around. As a dancer, these are some pivotal years for me. We don’t get these back. So I, I thought, I’m going to use this time to work with people that I really want to work with.

Even if it is over Zoom, you can create ... I was just so grateful to be back in a rehearsal room. Then when we were all on stage, all of us couldn’t believe that we were in a theater. I remember the first time I went center stage, even though it was black, I got chills all over my body.

AP: People know you for ballet, but you actually love the other dance forms you’re using here.

PECK: I grew up doing every style of dance. Actually ballet was my least favorite because I thought, ‘Oh, it’s the most boring.’

And so my whole thing of being a ballerina is to kind of break the barrier down. ... I wanted to have something for everybody in these shows and to get rid of the stigma that every single form has to have its own lane. Because I really don’t believe that.

AP: You filmed in a theater, when most are dark. What was that like?

PECK: Safety was literally my first priority because my family really hadn’t left our house in about four or five months, we have my 85-year-old grandmother staying with us. I was not about to take any chances. So everybody was tested. We wore masks. We cleaned every surface. It was crazy, but it made me feel safe.

And I wanted to make sure that everybody had that experience.

AP: The dance community has been especially hard hit. So many dancers live paycheck to paycheck.

PECK: Yes. I always say I’m so grateful to have such a big organization like New York City Ballet behind me so that it’s not

self-employment work. And I never would have thought I would be in this position. But I feel like because our company is so big and we are at Lincoln Center, it’s going to be one of the hardest things to bring back because it isn’t a little company. So for me, I was like, there’s no way I can wait until the next time we get to perform in the company because ... I don’t know when that’s going to be. So I’m just going to use this time. I need to stay creative. I want to be inventive. I want to challenge myself.

AP: Your Instagram classes really seemed to take off.

PECK: The most amazing thing was seeing how many

different types of people were taking this class ... People in Africa, Iran, a full family in India.

And it was really moving because it was a family effort. My mom (a

dance teacher) would help me the night before, and my sister would help me pick out the music. So it became this thing in my household that lifted us up every day.

Cold fronts produce cooler temps, maybe some rain

By Daryl Weather, Weather Forecaster It’s Sunday already? Where did my weekend go?

We might just have a decent shot at getting some rain now!

YAY! A cold front moved into the area this morning and that

will make a bit of change for us. You can see by the graphics that I have 57 for our high. That will be short lived however and temps will fall right back into the 40s today. We also have a shot at some rainfall as well.

I believe the better chance for

rain comes tomorrow.

On Tuesday we hold a small chance for rain and the cold front looks to start to move north of us, and should be out of the area by Wednesday and temps around the area will begin to warm back up into the

70s. Thursday at this point looks to be even warmer with temps in the upper 70’s. Another cold front moves into the area on Thursday and we will have another shot at rain again late Thursday afternoon and evening.
