By Brenda Meadows, Staff Writer Internationally known comedian ‘Yakov’ will join the annual Branson Veterans Task Force as it kicks off Veterans Homecoming Week with its “Vets for Vets Celebration Show” at 2 p.m. on Nov. 5 in the Star Theater, 3750 W. 76 Country Blvd. Theater doors open at 1 p.m.

The Branson Veterans Task

Force (BVTF) has received many requests for Yakov to return to the Vets for Vets stage after his appearance last year.

“Only in America would this be possible,” said Yakov. “That a Russian could become an American, and ‘Make America Laugh Again.’

What A Country!”

Vets for Vets presents an all veteran or USO lineup and is a free

show for vets and their families. No tickets are issued, and seating is on a first-come basis.

The celebration is just one of several events that the BVTF hosts during Veterans Homecoming Week.

City of Branson winter weather training event takes place today Submitted to Branson Globe As winter weather season approaches the Ozarks, the Branson Public Works Department is preparing for any weather that may impact local roads by holding a winter weather training event on Wednesday, November 4 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. This training is for city plow drivers to practice snow routes, safety procedures and anticipate any obstacles they may encounter on City and neighborhood streets. Drivers may see snow plows and salt spreaders on the roads during this time and as always, are encouraged to slow down and give the trucks plenty of room.

Winter weather preparation starts months in advance for the City of Branson. Employees make sure all salt/rock and parts are ordered and plow drivers are assigned routes. The City of Branson also has a team that constantly monitors incoming weather. At the sign of any freezing precipitation, city plow drivers will immediately pretreat bridges and other high priority areas. The City calls in 30 personnel from four different departments. These employees will work

24-hours a day, on rotating 12-hour shifts, on the City’s 13 different snow routes. Branson City crews clear and maintain approximately 250 lane-miles of roadway inside its boundaries.

The City has two salt barns that, when full, have a total of 1,200 tons of material, including road salt, rock chips and mixed material. The City also has the ability to produce salt brine, beat juice and calcium chloride mixtures for pre-treating roadways.

After each event, crews will empty and clean trucks and equipment then treat with a rust preventive. It takes approximately three days to get everything back to normal. The Public Works Department prepares for the next snow event by mixing materials and refilling those materials in the salt barns. Several crew members, along with street sweepers, will also clean excess material left on the roadways and sidewalks around town.

For questions regarding the winter weather road training event, please contact the City of Branson Public Works/Engineering Department at 417-243-2730.

By Pat Lamb Now that Thanksgiving season is here, thoughts turn to the question of how we can help children be truly thankful.

Children are often criticized for being ungrateful for what they have, yet many have not been taught to be appreciative of the many blessings that have come their way. There are many things that come to them due to no effort on their part, and they need to learn to be particularly thankful for such things.

It is not easy to teach any concept or internal feeling. It is much easier to teach a child to read or do a math problem than it is to teach a child to have an internal feeling. There are some things to keep in mind as we make an effort to help children learn to be thankful and to show that they are thankful. One way to help a child learn to be appreciative is to always require that child to say thank you when something good comes along.

There are a few things we can do to instill an understanding of what it is like to do without some things that children may take for granted. In addition, as in the case of teaching many things to children, example of behavior to pattern is a great teaching tool.

Children need to be taught from an early age to say thank you. Even toddlers can try to

Pat Lamb (FILE)

mimic the words if they hear them often enough. When a toddler hands an object to a parent, the parent should respond by saying thank you.

Toddlers can be heard to make the sound of two syllables even though the words are not truly audible. They are catching on to the habit of this nicety. As the child grows older, he/she needs to be constantly required to say the two words whether they are truly meant or not. This imbeds in the child a feeling of “I owe something to another for what they are doing.” Children need to write thank you notes when they are able to do so.

It has been said that “We never miss the water until the well runs dry.” This seems to be true of all of us. It is difficult for a child to be thankful when that child has always had something and knows no other

way. Placing a blindfold over a child’s eyes for a few minutes can help the child realize what it might be like to lose eyesight.

Earplugs in ears for a few minutes can have a similar affect in helping a child appreciate hearing. Having a child use a walker, crutches, or cane causes a child to think what it might be like to be unable to get around as easily as usual. These things can be done as a game. Wise parents will point out that many people go through life challenged with inability to see or hear clearly or to get around easily.

During a storm when the electricity goes off, children can experience what it would be like to live without electricity.

Again, parents can step in and point out the fact that electricity has not always been available and how thankful we should be

that we now have it.

If all adults patterned expressions of thankfulness, it would not be so difficult for children to learn this concept. Too often we neglect being thankful to others and to our heavenly Father for the many blessings we have. How sad it is that our Thanksgiving holiday seems to be getting “squeezed out” of our culture when it is one of the most important holidays of all.

We are commanded in the Bible to give thanks to God. We have a choice to make as to whether we will obey that command and teach our children to do likewise. Our world would be a much better place if we chose to constantly give thanks.

LETTER Re: Ole Seagull 10/30 On Sunday my husband & I went into Menard’s. Unfortunately he had forgotten his MANDATED face mask. A clerk reminded him & gave him a mask. From there we went to a local buffet. This time he remembered his mask. As we waited in line we noted the group of 8 in front of us were not wearing

face masks. We assumed one of the staff would say something.

No. When we got to checkout we asked why no one had said anything. They said mgmt. has told them they are not allowed to.

Somehow I think I would rather see someone without a mask in a lumberyard than in restaurant!

Veterans Village, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. November 5-10.

On specified days at the Village, World War II and Korean veterans are honored in the day room and mess hall.

Those who served during World War II gather on Nov. 6.

Korean War Veterans will be recognized on Nov. 8.

On each of those days the veterans will be asked to share personal stories in the day room. Veterans, on the day when their group is honored, will be escorted, and seated for their free lunch in the mess hall at noon. Dinner in the mess hall is $6 for nonveterans.

The day room is modeled after a USO canteen with snacks, coffee and

live music provided by a “round robin,” comprised of veterans or volunteer musicians who take turns leading a song as the musical “circle” rotates after each number.

Nothing dampens their spirits, keeps them from sharing their stories or joining in the live music singalongs. Some veterans even wear their uniforms. They come in wheelchairs, use the aid of a walker, or are escorted

by family members. There have been veterans reunited with others they had not seen since they served together.

Many say they come back to spend time with people who have become “like family.”

For 2020, a couple of the activities have been modified due to the

bransonglobe.com COVID-19 pandemic. But, the BVTF will be there at its annual Veterans Village to celebrate.

Corps of Engineers: Digging for artifacts on public property is illegal Submitted to Branson Globe LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is reminding everyone it’s against the law to remove artifacts from public lands.

Cultural resources are physical remains of our shared past. Also known as artifacts, the remains include arrowheads, pottery, buildings, structural remains, rock art, ceramics, glassware and any other

objects made and used by humans.

USACE park rangers notice more incidents of illegal digging for artifacts when lake levels are lower. Be advised that harvesting cultural resources is illegal at any time and can be punished by severe fines or jail time.

Depending on the circumstances and severity of the thefts, fines can run as high as $250,000 and prison terms can be up to

10 years. Laws covering removal of artifacts from public lands include the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979, which protects any item of archeological interest that is more than 100 years old; and Title 36 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, which deals with theft or destruction of public property.

Minor offenses can lead to misdemeanor charges, while more

serious offenses or second offenses can lead to felony charges and convictions.

“When individuals pursue what they consider harmless hobby digging or picking up artifacts, they are destroying the past,” said Little Rock District Archaeologist, Allen Wilson.

“The historical context is destroyed when artifacts or relics are removed for personal collec-

tions and profit. This can wipe out the evidence of centuries of human experience.”

USACE park rangers encourage all lake visitors to help protect our cultural remains. They urge lake visitors to keep a watchful eye out for artifact seekers and report such illegal activities.

If you see someone illegally digging on any public property, please contact your local law enforcement agency and report the crime.

“Any information you can provide such as location of the activity, number and description of people involved, car make or model, etc. can be helpful,” Wilson said.

“However, please don’t put yourself in harm’s way by attempting to intervene or approach individuals participating in illegal activities.”

Woodpeckers: Powerful birds with superpowers

By Peg Craft, Missouri Dept. of Conservation Woodpeckers are powerful birds that climb tree trunks and use their beaks like jackhammers. These master builders chisel out nests in tree cavities.

As such, their eggs are white as there is no need for camouflage in their luxe tree homes.

They can drum 20 times per second with most pecking between 8,000-12,000 times per day. Drumming is also used to communicate along with feeding and home building.

Have you ever wondered how woodpeckers avoid skull-splitting headaches from all that pounding? It’s because of an

extra thick skull and chisel-like beak. Both are cushioned by strong muscles that act as shock absorbers. Woodpeckers also use their feet and tails for better stability when perched on trees.

Their specialized zygodactyl feet have two toes pointing forward and two pointing backward to grip vertical spaces.

Their stiff tails will also act like a third leg.

Woodpeckers also have what’s known as a third eyelid. This nictitating membrane is translucent and closes just befor a woodpecker hits wood with its beak. It cleanses the eye as it moves over it.

Young hunters harvest nearly 16,000 deer during early youth season

By Jill Pritchard, Missouri Dept. of Conservation JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that young hunters ages 6 through 15 harvested 15,591 deer during Missouri’s early youth portion of the 2020 deer hunting season, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. Top counties were Franklin with youth hunters harvesting 336 deer, Howell with 324, and Osage with 320.

View additional harvest numbers for the 2020 early youth portion at https://extra.mdc.mo.gov/ widgets/harvest_table/.

Last year, youth hunters harvested 18,289 deer during the early youth portion. Get more information on past season deer harvests at https://huntfish.mdc. mo.gov/hunting-trapping/species/deer/deer-harvest-reports/ deer-harvest-summaries.

“This year’s harvest total is

about on par with the average over the last few years,” said MDC Cervid Program Supervisor Jason Isabelle. “Whenever you have a short season portion like the twoday early youth portion, you can expect variability in the harvest total from year-to-year. This year’s harvest of about 15,600 deer puts us about in the middle of the range when compared to harvest totals from the past five years.”

Missouri’s deer archery season

continues through Nov. 13 and resumes Nov. 25 through Jan. 15, 2021. The November portion of firearms deer season runs Nov. 14-24 followed by the late youth portion Nov. 27-29. The antlerless portion of firearms deer season runs Dec. 4-6 followed by the alternative methods portion Dec. 26 through Jan. 5, 2021.

MDC encourages hunters who will have their deer professionally processed to check with meat pro-

cessors about their availability to process deer this fall. Some meat processors around the state are reporting higher-than-normal business and may not be accepting deer for processing or will have significant delays in processing deer.

Woodpecker nostrils have bristles in them to protect from wood chips and sawdust.

The Downey woodpecker, our smallest, has the largest bristles. The long tongues of woodpeckers help to sweep out insects from inside trees and logs.

The Red-bellied woodpecker’s tongue can reach two inches past its beak. When retracted, their tongues will wrap around their skulls.

Woodpeckers are important members of the forest community. They consume lots of wood-boring insects. Besides insects, woodpeckers eat nuts, fruit, and seeds. Their aban-

doned tree cavities are prime real estate for bluebirds, chickadees, owls, squirrels and other wildlife unable to dig out their own homes.

All woodpeckers have a similar flight pattern consisting of three wing beats and a glide, and then repeated. Many species of woodpeckers found in the midwest will visit bird feed-

ers supplied with suet or sunflower seed.

A field guide and a pair of binoculars will help you identify which of these birds live in your neck of the woods.

Helping Woodpeckers Woodpeckers face threats from loss of habitat and urbanization to insecticide use that limits their food supply. Below are some tips to help them in both urban and rural areas.

• Leave snags -- standing or dead or dying trees-- to

bransonglobe.com provide places to nest and feed.

• Let large logs be for habitat and insects • Landscape your yard or property with native trees, shrub and vines --especially nut-and-fruit bearing species.

Consider suet feeders or black oil sunflower seeds. Note suet becomes rancid and harmful to birds in temperatures above 70 degrees.

NEW YORK (AP) — Julia Wiggin was still shivering after running out to hang up the weekend’s marquee — “Ghostbusters,” “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” — at her Northfield Drive-in near Hinsdale, New Hampshire.

“It’s cold,” Wiggin said on a bitter, wet morning. “It’s definitely time we closed.”

After a historic season, winter is coming at the drive-in. Sum-

consume Lincoln Center uprooted to drive-ins. (At one, Bill Murray joked that he’d visit every car.)

Even the campaign trail joined the trend, leading to the first ever presidential race that included a

It has hosted concerts and comedy shows, business conferences and Sunday services, graduations and weddings.

mini-referendum on the drive-in.

“You know, people in cars. I don’t get it,” said Donald Trump after Joe Biden’s Atlanta drive-in rally.

Yet the drive-in has undeniably saved a small slice of 2020, offer-

ing socially-distanced salvation at a time when most large gatherings are off the table because of the pandemic. But, well, it’s starting SEE DRIVE-INS, PAGE 18

Continued from page 17

to get pretty cold — at least in much of the country. Drive-ins in Texas, California and Florida can keep humming all year but most of the U.S.’s roughly 300 drive-ins are seasonal. They aren’t built for the cold, and they’re definitely not built for the snow.

With temperatures dropping — and even some flurries this past weekend — one of the pandemic’s few bright spots is running low on time. But many drive-ins are staying open well beyond normal closing, stretching a season that might usually end around Labor Day much later. Some are selling a lot of hot chocolate.

“I don’t think people mind the cold,” says Wiggin. “I’ve seen people bring sleeping bags and, like, a tarp. They’re die-hards. Well, OK, if you’re willing to come out, I’m willing to come out.”

The Northfield Drive-in went

over by two months before its Halloween-weekend finale. That’s mainly because the drive-in has turned into what Wiggin calls “a major community service project,” hosting graduations for everyone from fifth-graders to doctors of internal medicine. On Sunday, a Shakespeare theater group was on the schedule.

John Vincent, president of the United Drive-In Theatre Owners Association, estimates more than 200 drive-ins were still operating through Sunday. Showing movies is only part of it, especially since Hollywood studios aren’t releasing their big films. Marcella Snyder who runs the Tibbs Drive-in in Indianapolis, usually hosts one or two private events a year. This year, she hosted 50. The requests are still coming for November or December.

“We’re looking at frost warnings but the people are still coming,” says Snyder, who has seen hot chocolate sales skyrocket as

temperatures have plummeted. “If it starts snowing, what am I going to do?”

Like indoor theaters, drive-ins have been operating at 50% capacity to space people out. So ticket sales in the summer, even during sell-outs, wasn’t necessary offthe-charts for many locations. This fall, though, most are seeing much higher attendance than normal.

Drive-ins like Tibbs have adapted to not just online ticketing and concession ordering by app but have rethought what the drive-in — so unchanged by time — can be.

“We built our whole business on nostalgia and it’s nice that we’ve turned a corner. We’ve kind of brought it into the 21st century,” says Snyder. “It’s been crazy and wild but we’ve loved every minute.”

That’s made drive-ins want to keep rolling as far into the cold as they can. But how long can they hold on? For Jude DeLeon-

ardis, owner of the 700-car Delsea Drive-in, New Jersey’s last remaining drive-in, the limit is “stupid cold.” Before the pandemic, she had planned to close around Halloween. Now she expects to go at least to Thanksgiving.

“How far into December we can go will depend on Mother Nature and turnout,” says DeLeonardis.

“We would keep it going all year if we knew it wasn’t going to get stupid cold and snowing.”

Some drive-ins have advantages that others don’t. The five-screen Ford Wyoming Drive-In just outside Detroit never closes. Their owner also runs a construction company, so they have snowplows on site. The Ford Wyoming runs from dusk to dawn, selling tickets as late as 2:30 a.m.

“I will concede the fact that we are unusual,” chuckles co-owner William Clark. He judges ticket sales this October have been twice what’s typical. “We never close except with the caveat if there’s

bransonglobe.com a 10-inch snowstorm right before the movie goes on the screen,” says Clark.

Bengies Drive-In, outside Baltimore, rents electric in-car heaters.

That not only keeps moviegoers warm into November, but it prevents car engines from idling.

“Modern America doesn’t understand carbon monoxide,” says Bengies owner D. Edward Vogel.

Echoing other drive-in owners, Vogel emphasizes that drive-ins, even though they’ve enjoyed having the spotlight this year, need indoor theaters to be open. Exhibitors indoor and outdoor need new movies to survive, yet the studios have largely given up on 2020.

“We’re trying to protect what we call the theatrical window. And it doesn’t exist right now, or rarely does it exist,” say Vogel, whose drive-in touts the largest movie screen in the country. “Even the best players who were good to us SEE DRIVE-INS, PAGE 19

bransonglobe.com • DRIVE-INS

Continued from page 18

before are buying into that. It makes me wonder: What is theatrical about watching a movie on your TV or your phone?”

Vogel will keep Bengies open as long as the weather holds and moviegoers keep turning up.

Not that he couldn’t use a break after a season unlike any other.

“I haven’t seen my family since February, so I could use a little rest,” said Vogel, laughing. “I’m not sure we’re going to do it, but we’ve already had offers for New Year’s.”

Those drive-ins that are locking up for the season do so with the knowledge that they’ve never played a more vital role in their communities. Jay Mowery, owner of the Cumberland

Drive-in in Newville, Pennsylvania, hosted his first wedding, along with drive-thru trick-ortreating, fundraisers and a creature-feature weekend rented by some horror fans. Halloween weekend was his last of the season, but Mowery — like others

Nov. 4 - 5, 2020 • 19

— has the feeling his drive-in might be called on for graduations and other socially-distanced events next spring.

“It’s been a lot better than being closed, and it’s certainly helped the community. It’s given them a place to gather,” says

Mowery. “We put a 44-footlong plastic shield along the snack bar. It’s just high enough that we can slide a big tub of popcorn under it. I can’t wait to take this thing down but now I’m thinking I might need it next year.”

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A pregnant Florida woman didn’t let labor stop her from casting her vote in the presidential election, refusing to go to the hospital until she filled out her ballot.

Officials with the Orange Coun-

ty Supervisor of Elections said the woman was already in labor when she arrived at the polling site with her husband Tuesday afternoon, news outlets reported.

Elections employee Karen Briceño González said the husband asked for a ballot for his wife and later told the staff that she was in the car, in labor and refusing to go to the

ODDITIES IN THE NEWS hospital until she was able to vote.

Briceño González said she rushed outside to give the woman her ballot and check her ID. The staffer thought the woman would fill it out later, but while doing some controlled Lamaze breathing, the woman filled the ballot out right away.

Elections clerk Eileen Deliz said

the couple never mentioned why the woman waited until she was in labor to cast her vote.

“Maybe she wanted to come in-person at one point and that’s why she was waiting, who knows.

But she wouldn’t go to the hospital until she voted,” Deliz said.

Deliz said the unexpected incident delivered a bunch of smiles to the election workers.

“We are very, very busy, but when something like that happens it just makes our day,” Deliz said.

“Every election cycle brings us a great little story.”

Officials said the woman’s husband later drove her to an Orlando hospital.

bransonglobe.com Scientists find Madagascar chameleon last seen 100 years ago Talk about good camouflage!

Scientists say they have found an elusive chameleon species that was last spotted in Madagascar 100 years ago.

Researchers from Madagascar and Germany said Friday that they discovered several living specimens of Voeltzkow’s chameleon during an expedition to the northwest of the African island nation.

In a report published in the journal Salamandra, the team led by scientists from the Bavarian NatSEE ODDITIES, PAGE 21

ural History Collections ZSM said genetic analysis determined that the species is closely related to Labord’s chameleon.

Researchers believe that both reptiles only live during the rainy season — hatching from eggs, growing rapidly, sparring with rivals, mating and then dying during a few short months.

“These animals are basically the mayflies among vertebrates,” said Frank Glaw, curator for reptiles and amphibians at the ZSM. Researchers said the female of the species, which had never previously been documented, displayed particularly colorful patterns during pregnancy, when encountering males and when stressed.

The scientists say that the Voeltzkow’s chameleon’s habitat is under threat from deforestation.

McDonald’s cult classic, the McRib, is coming back

NEW YORK (AP) — McRib, the fast food sandwich that went viral before viral was a thing, is back.

McDonald’s announced Friday that for the first time in eight years it will be offering nationwide its barbeque slathered sandwich with the cult following.

The McRib will appear on the menus Dec. 2, for a limited time of course.

The McRib is an elusive prize for adherents, who scour the internet for reports of its surfacing at limited locations, and for a short amount of time. There is even a website called the McRib Locator, created to spread the word about McDonald’s restaurants that are offering the boneless pork sandwich served with slivered onions and pickles on top.

The company’s social media team this month lamented a lack of concern over its feelings, when the McRib enters the conversation.

‘Indian Summer’ visits for a perfect start to Veterans Week

By Daryl Weather, Weather Forecaster Have you heard the term “Indian Summer”? It’s well into place here in the Ozarks. This five day outlook will be pretty tranquil as sunny to partly cloudy skies prevail for

several days, with highs in the 70s and overnight lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s around the area.

I’m not really seeing anything as far as rain until possibly late Monday but I’ll take a look at that on our Friday edition.

What is the definition of “Indian Summer”? Most of us know it as a period of dry unseasonably warm weather in late October and November in the Central and Eastern part of the United States.

This term originated in New En-

gland and quite possibly arose from the Native American practice of gathering winter stores at the time.

In Europe, they experience Indian Summer as well. In Britain it is called “All-Hallown Summer” or “Wives Summer”.
