By Gary J. Groman, Independent Journalist The October 26 meeting of the Branson Board of Aldermen (Board) gave their approval to a Resolution officially designating November 1 through January 7 as “Ozark Mountain Christmas.” The Resolution acknowledges that in “1988 civic leaders, community organizations, businesses, and area residents joined together to create a community-wide event known as Ozark Mountain Christmas to be an umbrella for all of the unique reasons to be in Branson during the months of November and December…It goes on the state that “Ozark Mountain Christmas was designed to reflect the values of our community which include faith, flag, family, and fun;
as evidenced by a deep history of celebrating these values through special events including the Annual Lighting of the Adoration Nativity Scene, the annual Adoration Parade, an annual Veterans Homecoming Week culminating in a grand Veterans Day Parade.” It points out that “Ozark Mountain Christmas has grown to be an internationally recognized event that allows visitors to experience all that Branson has to offer including the welcoming warmth of the Ozarks people; Branson’s live music shows and lavish Christmas productions; Silver Dollar City’s Old Time Christmas; Shepherd of the Hills Adventure Park and shows; unique seasonal attractions; Thanksgiving weekend; SEE RESOLUTION, PAGE 10

Community joins in Branson Prayer March held October 23 By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer In spite of rain and puddles, area residents joined in united prayer for families, communities and the nation during the Branson Prayer March on Saturday afternoon, October 23. Marchers gathered at the Branson Walmart and made their way east on 76 Country Blvd. and through downtown, led by volunteers who assisted with Patrick Callahan’s large wooden cross. The group stopped for prayer sessions at Apple Tree Mall, Branson United Methodist Church, Bob Evans Restaurant, and First Presbyterian Church, with the closing rally at Branson City Hall. Along the route, marchers prayed and shared their own prayer needs and praises with each other. Several drivers honked and waved in support, and some pulled in at a stopping point to join the group for prayer. Although the actual number of marchers was smaller than last year’s, likely due to the unpredictable
weather throughout the afternoon, many others joined in either by driving from stop to stop or by following on Facebook live. At each stop, area pastors led in prayer for one of several prayer focus points: • Humility, forgiveness and personal revival; • Healing, the pandemic, the lost; • Homes, families and marriages; the abortion holocaust; the persecuted church worldwide; • Revival among our nation’s youth and in our schools and youth ministries; • National and local government leaders and officials. Director Gena Hedgepeth and Pastor Jay Scribner expressed thanks to the many volunteers who assisted, including Eric Hodges coordinating transportation; volunteer shuttle drivers and churches who donated use of vehicles; Patrick Callahan and those helping with the large rolling cross;
Berean Liberty Foundation; KLFC Radio; KRZK Radio, and vocalists Aloha Post and Melonie Barber who provided patriotic music at the closing rally. Organizers and volunteers would like to remind participants and the community to continue remembering these important prayer points in their personal prayer time. Also, mark your calendars now for the 2022 Branson Prayer March, scheduled for October 15, 2022.

By Pat Lamb What is the best gift you can give your children? Many experts agree that the best thing that parents and grandparents can give children is their time. Yet, as the holiday season approaches, we find ourselves wanting more time, and we find it more difficult to give the time to children that they need. How can we give more time to children, and what are the benefits of doing so? One of the easiest ways to give more time to children is to include them in the activities we do. The benefits of giving more time are many. Three of those benefits are bonding, learning more about our children, and giving the children a feeling of worth. As we include children in activities, they relax and open up in more ways than they normally would.

light up in anticipation of the happiness they are creating, and a special closeness is achieved as feelings of accomplishment are shared. When parents take time to include children in activities, the children feel that their parents think their ideas are valuable. They develop a feeling of worth because Mom or Dad wanted them to help. The opposite is true when they are pushed aside. Children then feel that their ideas and help are not wanted or needed. They look to find their own activities aside from parents. Children have an inner desire to feel that they are valuable to someone. No toy or game purchased for a child can make up for that feeling. It is not difficult to include children in activities. The key is to find something within the child’s ability. There is always something they can do if it is no more than holding a finger on

Children most often say and do the things that they know their parents expect of them. This prevents adults from knowing what they are really thinking and feeling. When they relax in activities, they drop their guard and we find out more about them. We are often surprised to find that our children may be thinking and feeling something entirely different from what we had thought. This gives us clues as to their needs in guidance as they grow. As children assist in activities such as decorating, baking, making gifts, shopping or other holiday happenings, they bond with adults in achieving the common goal of making others happy. While doing so, they can discuss how they think the recipient will respond, and they feel happy about achieving something good with their parents. Little faces

By Tiffany Brown, Staff Writer Probably the most frequented topic of discussion from my pastor to our congregation is evangelism. Let me rephrase that. Our pastor eats, sleeps and breathes evangelism. There’s rarely a moment when you don’t find him in some relentless pursuit to rescue the hopeless addict or to provide for the poor of our community. A phrase he repeats often is, “When you give your life to save the lost and hurting, God will always provide everything you need!” While brushing off any sense of conviction on my part, I’ve often thought, “Evangelism is one of my
passions. Clearly, God is pleased with me.” But tonight, as I heard my pastor’s booming voice beckoning those familiar words across the sanctuary, the Holy Spirit illuminated it like never before. You see, evangelism has always been one of my passions. But rarely has it ever been my one passion. Upon this sudden “epiphany” tonight, I remembered the loving words of Jesus as he gently rebuked a busy, flustered Martha… “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one.” I’ll admit that as I walked into
church tonight, I had planned on reminding God of all the things in my life that aren’t going the way I want them to—as if complaining to Him at the altar would somehow be more effective than complaining to Him at home (which I had already successfully accomplished throughout the day). Just as Martha came to Jesus tattling on her sister, Mary, for sitting at His feet instead of participating in the revelry of her exhausting tasks, I came-a-tattling on life for its non-compliance. But when the time for prayer was upon us, I reSEE TIFFANY’S, PAGE 8

Reflections: Let the peace of God rule By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer Wrapping up a study of Colossians last week, I was drawn back to chapter 3, v. 15–16, where Paul writes, “Let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Several things stand out in these verses. First of all, God’s peace should rule in our hearts. Our circumstances won’t always be peaceful; while dealing with my dad’s recent passing, I couldn’t escape the constant vitriol of current politics, the bad news about the missionaries in Haiti, and the fact
that it cost nearly twice as much to fill my economy-sized car with gasoline as it did a year ago. But even if those things were resolved, I would still need the peace that comes from knowing God loves me and has provided a way for my salvation. Next, be thankful. While I’m not thankful for inflated gas prices, I am thankful we are still able to get where we need to go. I’m thankful my dad is free from his frail earthly body and rejoicing in heaven with his beloved Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And I’m thankful I have the hope of doing the same one day. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” That takes time— reading the Bible, meditating on it, journaling ways to apply it to
everyday circumstances and situations so I don’t forget. But it also takes community, “teaching and admonishing one another.” Perhaps this is done through a church gathering or a discussion in Sunday school class; maybe just casual sharing between neighbors of something they’ve learned in their own Bible study. Maybe these little “reflections” or other wonderful columns in this paper, or devotional books or podcasts. And a very special way—music and song. I find it inspiring that Paul specifically included singing as a way to teach and admonish. My dad enjoyed Christian music, particularly heaven-themed gospel songs from the “Albert Brumley days,” not uncommon among Depression-era
and World War II-era folks who had seen many bad things in their lifetime and were seriously looking forward to a better place! But he also enjoyed hearing my sons lead contemporary choruses in their roles as church worship leaders, one of his favorites being “Goodness of God,” from Bethel Worship, which says, “All my life You have been faithful.” My dad knew and lived that. I’m trying to spend less time staring at a screen thinking about how bad things are, and more time singing or listening to uplifting music, finding ways to teach and admonish or be taught myself, and “letting peace rule.” Pick up your Bible, sit down at the piano or with your guitar, or download some encouraging music, and join me!
By Joshua Heston, editor-in-chief, StateoftheOzarks Media & Design And not because it’s the “devil’s holiday” in case you wondered. For the record, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, mainly because it always involved homemade fudge, caramel apples and rice crispy candy. But also because it was indeterminately spooky. Carving a pumpkin and placing it out on the old rotting elm stump in the backyard, turning off all the lights in the house and looking at the jack-olantern from the dining room window as dead leaves rustled in the darkness
and bare Osage orange branches traced dark fingers against a midnight sky. Then we turned on all the lights and ate rice crispy candy. Some say that lucky stones keep off witches and evil spirits.* Lying in the dark, listening to the old stories. The haunted house of Old Jericho, with a door that opened all by itself. Tom Moore says that people who visit Breadtray Mountain at night hear sobs and groans and smothered screams; they believe that these noises are made by the ghosts of Spanish soldiers who were massacred by Indians.*
Walking through the dark timber, oak trees bleak in the night, when a panther screams. There are odd tales of dark-visaged “ furriners” traveling at night, who make regular pilgrimages to a great hole in the ground [where] some say the Devil lives.* Without the darkness, it is so much harder to appreciate the light. Sometimes it’s harder to even understand the light. These days, Halloween is one of our most commercialized holidays. Largely gone is the unknown, replaced by cheesy styrofoam headstones and plastic, dancing witches

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Congratulations to Mr. Steve Anthony on his successful efforts to establish a church on Courtney Street. However, I found the article to be lacking in some pertinent facts, as one of the original attendees at Norma Jean’s initial service at the Victorian Village on October 26, 2003. I verify the progress of “Norma Jean Cowboy Church” moving up to High-
way 76 and migrating eastward to where the Eastons completed renovating an old four-screen movie complex into the God and Country Theater and extending an invitation to Norma Jean and Mr. Martin, which evolved into God and Country Cowboy Church. When Mr. Martin and Norma Jean terminated their association, Mr. Martin departed taking a few
splinter groups and leaving Norma Jean to appropriately staff the church with emphasis on a longtime, active clergyman. Norma Jean recruited a retired military chaplain. Paston Ron Boldman came on board, and the God and Country Cowboy Church continued undiminished until Norma Jean departed the area in late 2013. The format for Sunday ser-
vices carried on in the God and Country Theater can only attest to the original involvement of Norma Jean and her desire for a Cowboy Church. Eventually, Norma Jean’s name was changed early in 2014. Submitted by Alan L. Smith Branson, MO

alized that my only business at that wooden altar should be one thing: sitting at Jesus’ feet and immersing myself in the passion of his heart— the urgent desire to seek and to save that which is lost. If there is one thing that God desperately implores us to “worry” about, this is it. In fact, it’s our job to worry about it. We’re wired for it. But instead of faithfully devoting ourselves to this one task, we work our fingers to the bone securing our retirement and 401K. Charles Spurgeon said, “You have been trying “providing” work and forgetting that it is yours to obey. Be wise and attend to the obeying, and let Christ manage the providing.” It’s no wonder that billions of American dollars are spent year after year treating stress induced illnesses.

I am truly excited about adding new details to my lectures and assignments for my students. In the end, while it was an honor to be selected, it will be my students who will benefit the most.” Dr. Eric Bolger, vice president of academic affairs and dean of the college, nominated Dalton for the seminar. “Dr. Dalton was a natural fit for this seminar,” Bolger said. “Throughout his career he has combined compelling classroom teaching with ongoing scholarship on the Civil War. Not only did he benefit from this experience, but other scholars in the seminar benefited from Dr. Dalton’s expertise and passion.” him! With the noblest of intentions, many Christians disregard one of the most clear-cut commands ever uttered from Jesus’ lips. After his exposition on why worrying about food, shelter and clothing is a frivolous pursuit, he instructs them: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Time is of the essence, my friends. James said, “Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes...If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” Dear ones, our greatest sin is not in the things we do; it is in the things we are NOT doing.

It designates Ozark Mountain Christmas as the official name for this community-wide Christmas event and encourages the entire Branson community to support it in every way they can. It also states that entities utilizing City Tourism Tax dollars for marketing will continue to use the name and promote Ozark Mountain Christmas
whenever and wherever possible. The Resolution is in “full force and effect” as of the Board’s approval on October 26, 2021. Mayor Larry Milton thanked Michael London for his effort and work. London’s efforts were instrumental in reviving the use of “Ozark Mountain Christmas” as the umbrella for all of the great things that it represents.

Great music, comedy and the Christmas message are in every show.” Gabriel added, “A Gabriel Family Christmas is at 10 a.m. Tuesday through Fridays starting November 2 and runs through Sunday, December 12. All Sunday shows are at 2 p.m., and we are running Church Area Appreciation shows on all our Sunday matinee shows. Church groups or individuals can come for only $10. They just need to mention they are here for our Church Area Appreciation and it’s only $10 per person.” Call the venues of your favorite Branson shows or visit their websites to find more information on Branson’s 2021 Christmas shows.

Here’s what’s coming up in the Ozarks, October 29 to November 7 Be prepared to save a life with Hands-Only CPR
What if you could save someone’s life with just a one-hour investment of time? About 40 people per hour, or 350,000 per year in the U.S., experience a cardiac arrest outside of those occurring during hospital stays for other conditions. Of those, nine out of 10 do not survive. Rotary Club of Hollister and the Taney County Ambulance District have partnered to help change those statistics by offering free hands-only CPR training. The hands-only technique is easier to learn and remember and is the recommended intervention for buying precious time until trained medical personnel arrive. Two more classes are scheduled for this year, on THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, and Thursday, December 9, 2021. Classes will begin at 9 a.m. at the Taney County Ambulance District, 106 Industrial Park Dr., Hollister, with parking available at the rear of the building. A link to the registration page is located on the Hollister Chamber of Commerce website, https://hollisterchamber.net/ event-4339705, or call 417-3341441 for more information.
Hollister Park Board announces ‘A Downing Street Christmas’
The City of Hollister will kick off the Christmas season on Downing Street with the fourth annual, “A Downing Street Christmas,” FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5 from 6 p.m. to 6:45pm. The City of Hollister’s Park Board will join the Downing Street merchants at the Pedestrian Mall, located between Hook & Ladder Pizza and All Teased Up Salon. During the event on November 5, we will have our official tree lighting ceremony, with our very special guest, Santa Claus, to do the honors. Talented, young per-
formers from the Hollister High School and Middle School Choirs will provide carols and storytelling with State of the Ozarks, as onlookers enjoy refreshments from Vintage Paris and the Country Mart Bakery. Following the celebration, stroll through Downing Street for the First Friday Art Walk. For more information regarding “A Downing Street Christmas,” please contact Denise Olmstead at 417-337-8315.
Branson Salvation Army kicks off the 2021 Christmas season
The annual kickoff and beginning of bell ringing in Branson, MO, begins FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2021, at 11 a.m., taking place at Hobby Lobby, 1447 State Hwy 248. This year’s event will feature the mayor of Branson, Larry Milton; the Divisional Commander of the Central Territory Salvation Army; Lt. Col. Bob Webster; and the new directors of the Branson Corps, Envoys Steve & Lisa Roberson. A new goal will be presented this year along with the vision, while the Branson Brass Band rings in the announcement of 2021! Bell Ringers and volunteers can begin signing up immediately at www.registertoring.com or may call us at 417-339-4434. This is a crucial turnaround year as we come through the pandemic. The needs are greater than they have ever been. People have begun to be weary of our national crisis, and some have even pulled back in recent months. We need to hear the call to keep engaged. This event reminds to “March On!” While it is easy to “take a break” from all the noise of need, some demands have doubled and even tripled in 2021. We need a unity of community to rise up and take care of the people we do life with every day. SEE COMING UP, PAGE 13

New Chick-fil-A holiday lighting display to make Branson’s main street shine Submitted to Branson Globe The Branson Christmas Coalition has been working with the Chick-fil-A Branson restaurant located at 607 West Main Street
Lighting concept (Special to Branson Globe)
to initiate a landmark holiday lighting display for the 2021 Christmas season. Nearly 16,000 feet of lighting and 34,000 LED bulbs will cover the upper level of the building on all four sides and the ground level on the east side, plus a 24-foot Christmas tree of lights will be placed on the roof of the popular restaurant. “It’s something we’ve been wanting to do for a while, explained Kevin Hutcheson, operator of the Chick-fil-A Branson. “Several Chick-fil-A’s around the country heavily light their

locations for the holiday season. I thought it would be perfect for Branson since the community is so engaged in the Christmas season, so I talked to my fellow operators to learn more about their success with it.” “When we approached Kevin,” recounts Peter Herschend, co-founder of Silver Dollar City and founder/chairman of the Branson Christmas Coalition, “He was excited about supporting the community with a spectacular holiday light display, but he needed a plan to ensure it looked fantastic and was effi-
cient to install, remove and store each year. We knew we could help with that!” The Branson Christmas Coalition employed a professional holiday lighting designer to create a unique and impressive look for the store and helped source vendors for the lights and fixtures required. The restaurant’s entire lighting display has been custom designed and built for this location. “The holiday lighting designer we brought in from Florida spent three days in Branson creating a plan for Chick-fil-A and developing design concepts for other locations around the city,” reported Ann McDowell, Executive Director of the Branson Christmas Coalition. “We’re hoping that Chick-fil-A’s bright and shining example will inspire other businesses to do similar light installations and the Coali-
tion can again help with designs, ideas, vendors and other resources.” The Chick-fil-A Branson is tackling their installation over time. The 2021 implementation is about half of the full plan for holiday lighting at the restaurant. More lighted trees and a drivethrough tunnel of light are part of the full design concept and anticipated over the next two to three years. “This is a significant investment for us and a way to support our community’s efforts to grow and enhance the Ozark Mountain Christmas season,” continues Hutcheson. “In addition to serving great chicken and providing great service, this lighting package will help create a great holiday experience for our customers. It’s all about making Branson a stellar and very merry Christmas destination.”

Did you miss National Drug Take-Back Day? You can still get rid of unwanted drugs for free Submitted to Branson Globe Local residents who didn’t get the chance to participate in the DEA National Prescription Drug TakeBack Day on Saturday, October 23 don’t have to – and shouldn’t – wait until the next event to rid their home of expired, unwanted, unused and dangerous drugs. With holidays approaching, kids and grandkids may be visiting homes that aren’t childproofed, and it is important to secure medications in the home as well as dispose of medications properly to prevent accidental poisonings. Residents of Stone and Taney counties have other year-round options they can use for free, safe and easy disposal. Permanent drug drop boxes: Several local law enforcement agencies and pharmacies in Stone and Taney counties provide this option. Some drop boxes are available 24/7/365 and all are anonymous and free to use. Boxes are located at: • Branson Police Department • Hollister Police Department • Rockaway Beach Police Department • Kimberling City Police Department • Stone County Sheriff’s Department in Galena • Taney County Sheriff’s Department in Forsyth • CoxHealth Pharmacy at the Cox Branson Outpatient Center • CVS Pharmacy on Loyd Street in Branson Medication destruction pack-
ets: An at-home option used to deactivate, destroy and permanently dispose of pills, patches, liquids, creams and films in less than three minutes – without ever leaving home. There are a couple of different varieties of these, including Dispose Rx packets and Deterra pouches. This option allows people to dispose of expired and unneeded medications quickly and easily through their household trash. It also provides a safe alternative to other disposal methods such as flushing medications or simply throwing them away without proper deactivation, which can be harmful to the environment. The Taney County Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Team (ADAPT), the Stone County Community Health Co-
alition, and Drug Free Ozarks encourage local residents to utilize the permanent drug drop boxes and distribute medication destruction packets for free. “Almost 15,000 drug deactivation packets have been distributed in Stone & Taney counties in the last three years, equipping our residents with the power to reduce prescription drug misuse in their community,” says Marietta Hagan, member of both coalitions and project coordinator for Drug Free Ozarks. The combined Stone and Taney County take-back events held on October 23rd collected 177 pounds of medications across four sites. Medication take-back events offer one way for community members to dispose of unused or expired pre-
scription and over-the-counter medications, helping eliminate potential public safety concerns. The alternatives provide everyone with additional opportunities to embrace the duty-to-dispose of medications safely, quickly, easily and effectively, year-round. More information on the location of permanent drug drop boxes across Missouri or access to the free at-home option can be found at www.drugfreeozarks.org. ADAPT promotes the reduction of substance use in youth
through awareness, education, and programs that benefit the entire community. The Stone County Community Health Coalition promotes a healthier, happier, and safer Stone County, MO, by focusing on the reduction of substance use and misuse, mental health challenges, and cardiovascular disease. Drug Free Ozarks is part of the Stone and Taney Counties Substance Use Initiative, which is led by CoxHealth and funded by a Skaggs Legacy Endowment grant.

Book notes from Taneyhills Library Thanks to Taneyhills volunteer Joyce Coogan for a wonderful compilation of reading suggestions for those longer, cooler evenings! Cindy Thomas, Reader’s Corner coordinator “Books are a uniquely portable magic.” - Stephen King
The Only Woman in the Room By Marie Benedict
The incredible true story of Hedy Lamarr, who was married to an Austrian kingpin prior to World War II, escaped Nazi persecution despite her Jewish heritage, and made her way to become a Hollywood screen star. Unknown to most of the world, she was also a brilliant scientist whose inventions helped the Allies win the war. Anxious People By Fredrik Backman
We typically don’t think of a group of people held hostage by a bank robber as being humorous or highly amusing, but this novel is both. Backman’s insight to the human condition is stunning. Through their experiences, we see the hostages connect, disconnect, come to accept each other, and recognize that what they have in common is more than what divides them. The Madness of Crowds By Louise Penny Always compelling, author Penny centers her story post-pandemic when life has become almost normal again in the Canadian village of Three Pines. Chief Inspector Gamache is the lone voice warning against a charismatic
speaker who promotes preserving some lives over others as a way to conserve the country’s resources.

guages so that visitors and expats can find a place where they belong in a strange country. In 1939, as Hitler rises to power and Jews are not allowed to get library books, courageous librarians join the Resistance, risking their lives to take books personally to those who aren’t allowed to have them. Their heroism is a tribute to book lovers everywhere. The Stationery Shop By Marjan Kamali Roya, a dreamy, idealistic teenager living amid the political upheaval of 1953 Tehran, finds comfort in the neighborhood stationery shop where she meets and falls in love with a wealthy young man.
As she is from a lower-class family, their love is not acceptable to either family. Their struggle, along with family betrayal, thwarts their relationship in ways consistent with a society consumed with class consciousness and the emotional pain it can cause. The Woman They Could Not Silence By Kate Moore This is the true story of Elizabeth Packard, imprisoned in 1860 in an insane asylum by her husband, who felt threatened by her intellect and unwillingness to stifle her own thoughts. She was not alone, as other perfectly sane women were also imprisoned as a convenience to their husbands. Elizabeth took copious notes, wrote letters, and eventually earned her freedom,

Accomplished musician returns to Branson for performances By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer A Branson native returns to the area to perform this weekend. Dr. Larkin Sanders, a former Branson resident, currently lives in Kansas City. Sanders, an accomplished musician, is the clarinet instructor at Washington University and is the owner of the Clever Clarinetist, a clarinet specialty store.
Sanders, who performs with a number of musical groups including Porch Music KC, Xiphias Trio, the Battledore Trio, the Sanders-Moss Duo and more, is also the Executive Artistic Director of the Taneycomo Festival Orchestra. Sanders, who attended school in Branson from 1992 until 2005, received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Kansas, a Mas-
ter of Music degree from Michigan State University and a doctorate degree in music from Florida State University. A gifted performer, Sanders’ musical showcases run the gamut of chamber operettas, children’s music, art songs and more. Sanders is also a brilliant composer and an author of a number of music-related books. Living in the music mecca of Branson helped Sanders develop her musical prowess, but her interest in the art form began at a very early age. “My musical interest began when we were still living in New York,” explained Sanders. “Dad was a full-time, working musician in New York City and the surrounding areas.

always listening to music, and my parents told me that I gravitated towards Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos. I asked for a ‘biolin’ when I was about two years old, so my parents enrolled me in the North Shore Suzuki School on Long Island.” Sanders continued, “When I was five, we moved to Branson, and I started taking lessons with Kirsten Weingartner Weiss. I always loved lessons with Kirsten, and now it’s fun to play with Kirsten from time to time, as a professional. I continued to take violin lessons until I was 14, but I joined the school band in sixth grade, when I was 11. Branson Schools doesn’t have an orchestra program, but I wanted to
participate in school music in some capacity. Fortunately, my grandfather was a clarinet player and fostered my interest in the clarinet. Eventually, I realized that the clarinet and I were ‘more compatible,’ and I stopped playing violin. The clarinet became the center of my musical studies and interest and remains as such to this day.” Sanders’parents remained in the area and still live in Branson. “I live in Kansas City, Missouri, and I visit Branson about once a month,” explained Sanders. I enjoy visiting with my family and working with the Taneycomo Festival Orchestra throughout the year. My mother helps me run the Taneycomo Festival Orchestra, and my father is teaching English and music at Ozarks Technical Community College. You might also hear and see him gigging around the area as a drummer.” When not busy with her musical endeavors, Larkin enjoys the great outdoors. “I love to be in nature,” said Sanders. “I enjoy scuba diving, sailing, hiking and camping. I also enjoy crafting and sewing.” Dr. Sanders will be featured at a number of upcoming musical events in the Branson area. “One of my chamber ensembles, Porch Music KC, developed out of the Taneycomo Festival Orchestra and will be performing at Seven Arrows Taproom on Saturday, October 30, at 7:30 p.m.” noted Sanders. “We’ll be playing spooky Halloween favorites by Camille Saint-Saens, Danny Elfman, John Williams and more. We’ll also be back for a holiday concert at Turkey Creek Brewery. Stay tuned for more details. Sanders will also perform in an upcoming recital. Said Sanders, ‘I’m giving a recital with College of the Ozarks piano professor, Clara Christian, on Monday, November 15, in Newman Recital Hall. The program is called ‘l’Histoire du Clarinette’ and is inspired by a trip I took to Paris in September.” Sanders added, “Join us for the 11th season of the Taneycomo Festival Orchestra, June 12-25, 2022.

Out of the mouths of babes... By Tiffany Brown, Staff Writer • After waiting several minutes for the ice cream truck to drive by our house, my daughter gave up and said, “I think he’s in South Africa!” • I live in Billings where the siren goes off at noon every day. My five-year-old grandson arrived at my house as it was going off. He said, “I hope there isn’t a tomato!” I said, “What?!” His response, “You know…it spins around really fast!” • Little girl after exercising one day, “I feel my heart beeping!” • Brainstorming ministry ideas with my son, he said “A good women’s event would be taking all the women to the forest and getting them lost in a maze and finding their way back. It’s like finding their way back to God. Or birdwatching.” • Dad to son: We have 12 M&Ms. Divide them up for the four of us.
• Son: Four for mommy, Four for me, three for Sis, and one for you... cause I don’t wanna do math and you didn’t say “even Steven”! • My daughter asked me how her little brother got into my belly when I don’t even have a scar from the cut they make to put him in there. • Five-year-old boy: Momma we’re gonna get married ‘cause you’re the bestest girl! • Sister: You can’t marry mom.
This isn’t Arkansas or Alabama! • Boy: Yeah, it’s KANSAS soooo - I can! • “I need a fan. I’m sweating like a sheep in the desert with a thousand blankets.” • My daughter saw the sign for the store “Tuesday Morning.” She asked, “Is that store only open on Tuesday mornings? Her brother responded, “No, they’re just running out of store names.” • “I feel like there’s something wrong with my head today. Like
there’s nothing in it.” • “One thing I know for sure. God is happy. And He can never be too happy. He’s not grumpy. He loves us so much. He gives us so many chances. He’s kind. He cares about everybody. Even the bad guys. He
gives us joy and even the good kind of sadness and even the good kind of mad. The bad guy devil just gives us bad madness and bad sadness. But everything God gives us is good. He is holy and I can’t stop talking about it.”

MoDOT: Avoid a monster mash on the roads this Halloween Submitted to Branson Globe As little ghosts and goblins embark on their quests for candy this weekend, the Missouri Department of Transportation is urging trick-or-treaters and drivers to stay alert for each other.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, children are three times more likely to be struck and killed by a car on Halloween than any other day of the year. And since 2015, Missouri has
seen more fatal crashes involving pedestrians in October than any other month. “In dark conditions with an influx of pedestrians, many of them children, Halloween night has the potential to result in increased risks,” said Jon Nelson, MoDOT’s assistant to the state highway safety and traffic engineer. “Drivers and pedestrians both have important roles to play to keep each other safe and avoid a real tragedy.”
Drivers should avoid distractions so they’re aware of any pedestrians walking on or near the roadways. Be especially cautious in the dark, as children in dark clothing may be difficult to see. Drivers should also slow down in areas where pedestrians are likely to be or where sight distances are limited, and never drive impaired. Pedestrians should also make smart choices, such as bringing a flashlight to make yourself as
visible as possible to passing motorists. Trick-or-treaters should always walk on a sidewalk wherever one is available. If one isn’t available, walk facing traffic as far to the side and as safely as possible. Pedestrians should also cross with a traffic signal and crosswalk whenever they are available. Make sure traffic has stopped or passed before you begin to cross the road. And like drivers, pedestrians should also avoid distractions so you are alert to the traffic around you. Missouri’s strategic highway safety plan, Show-Me Zero, identifies four key focus areas - distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding and buckling up - to help eliminate traffic deaths. For more information on the Show-Me Zero plan and to learn how all Missourians can help make the roadways safer, visit www.savemolives.com.

Hungry for authentic Jamaican food? Look no further than The Jerk Spot By Gary J. Groman, Independent Journalist Branson’s newest and certainly one of its more unique restaurants, The Jerk Spot, celebrated its grand opening on October 21. Located at 607 Highway 165, Suite 6, in Branson adjacent to Subway, it’s open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Jerk Spot’s owners, Cavene Crosdale and her husband Durront Mcgann, have over ten years of experience in the restaurant business. It’s independently owned by them and is not part of a chain. Caven said The Jerk Spot offers 100% authentic Jamaican food. She explains that Jamaican food is different from other food because of the spices that create its unique succulent flavor. In a culinary sense, “Jerk” refers to the process used to slow cook the food. The Jerk Spot has a varied menu, from a Jamaican Beef Patty appetizer to Jerk Chicken Pasta, Curry Goat, Red Snapper, and more. Cavene said that her favorite item on the menu is “Curry Goat” because “the meat is so tender. It is something you don’t find everywhere, and it has a unique flavor.” She said it’s one of the most popular items on the menu, but the most popular item is “Jerk Chicken.” In addition to dine-in service, The Jerk Spot offers pickup, curbside, and delivery service. The delivery service is available through both an in-house service and DoorDash.
In deciding to bring an authentic Jamaican restaurant to Branson, Caven said it was a good fit and provided something that other restaurants did not. There was no place to go out and get the type of food they could get at home. Additionally, in the summer months, many international workers, a large part of which are Jamaican, come to Branson and are unable to get authentic Jamaican food for months at a time. “She said, “The Jerk Spot offers an opportunity for those workers to bridge that gap and get authentic Jamaican food. One of the things that
most excites Caven about coming to work at The Jerk Spot each day is seeing people’s excitement wanting to try something new. “We have a friendly atmosphere, where you can enjoy your meal, listen to music, and have a good conversation,” she added. For further information on The Jerk Spot, don’t hesitate to contact them through their website https://thejerkspotbranson.com/ or by phone at 417-544-0737. They are also on Facebook at “the jerk spot,” Twitter at @thejerkspot417, and Instagram at “@thejerkspotbranson.”

College of the Ozarks Professor Curt Wilkinson releases new book, ‘KNOWN: A Year of Questions’ Submitted to Branson Globe College of the Ozarks Associate Professor of Communication Arts, Dr. Curt Wilkinson, released his new book, “KNOWN: A Year of Questions.” The book with daily readings presents engaging questions that focus on deepening relationships and developing a greater understanding of self. Wilkinson released his book on July 26, 2021, and was inspired by his belief that social media erodes our engagement in meaningful, face-to-face conversation. “My hope is that “KNOWN” will encourage people to be transparent with one another,” Wilkinson said. “I think this book can be a wonderful way to grow closer to the people we love, but it only has value if we’re willing to put down our phones. Many of our students get engaged and married during their time here at C of O. It would give me great satisfaction to find that this book has helped couples grow closer together.” This book is for anyone who wants
to cultivate deep and meaningful relationships. It’s an easy and accessible way for spouses, families, friends and co-workers to connect every day of the year. The entries are short, the topics are predetermined, and the questions are designed to start a conversation. This book was designed to be a simple and meaningful way to grow closer to the ones who matter most in your life. “This book reveals the gift of a good question,” said Jennifer Freeman, director of Christian
formation and leadership development. “Questions are the entrance into meaningful dialogue and understanding which leads to deeper relationships. Whether it is a marriage, a friendship or even a conversation between colleagues, “KNOWN” is an easy tool for sharing our own stories while finding beauty in the hearts of others.” The book is available on Amazon and can be accessed at the following link:

New Branson night spot, The Summit, opens this weekend By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer A hot new locale for Branson nightlife opens this weekend. The Summit is scheduled to open on October 30 in downtown Branson. Owned by Pierce Evans and Chad Thomas, the Summit will become Branson’s only true night club. “We both live here and love the area. We’ve known for the last couple of years that something like this was needed,” said Evans of his and Thomas’ endeavor. “Chad and I both went to College of the Ozarks. Chad has focused on special events in the area. I grew up in the hotel and restaurant industry. I always knew that I was going to own a restaurant. It wasn’t until Chad and I started dreaming that we brought together both of our passions and came up with the concept of Summit. We’ve been working on this for the last three and a half years, and it’s finally coming to life.” The Summit, based on the concept of the Colorado mountains, combined with neon lights, is a state-of-the-art dance club featuring an expansive dance floor and DJs from all around the country. “We mostly expect to see the 18-35 age group, but we will play a variety of music to welcome anyone,” noted Evans. “Our core brand will be playing today’s influential music, top 40s artists and remixes of popular songs. Our moms have specifically asked for 80s nights, so you can expect to see that soon.” The 10,000 square foot dance club, located in the former Blue Olive location, has big plans for the future. Said Evans, “We are starting as a true nightclub, but our start is not near where we plan to go with the venue. There are big plans for the space. We are excited to have our customers see where we started and where we take it.” Evans continued, “Our bar manager, Degga, is one of our greatest assets. She has been in the indus-
try for nearly 12 years, and she knows everyone. Her strength is creating a great bar experience, offering new drinks and creating special events.” The Summit’s opening weekend is destined to be memorable. “Our Halloween weekend is packed with exciting events,” Evans noted. “We start with the live Broadcast from 102.9 The Z, Power 96.5 and My 100.1. We open our doors at 7 p.m. The Ginge from 96.5 will be our first DJ. We are doing giveaways, cash giveaways, prizes and exclusive
drinks for Halloween. We have a costume contest both Saturday and Sunday.” The Summit, located at 204 North Commercial Street in Branson is open seven days per week, 7 p.m. until 1:30 a.m. For more information, visit SummitNightLife.com. “We are going for an authentic club experience with the premium feel, with a price point that is comfortable for our fellow locals,” said Evans. “We want this to be a place people want to bring friends to celebrate, and a great place for visitors to the area to come as a
late-night option. We are so proud to be a part of the Branson Community. We love the area and are excited about embracing the next
generation of Branson tourists and offering a fun place for locals to hang out. Branson is about to get a whole lot cooler!”

Stock Market Insights: Does a rising tide raise all ships? By Dr. Richard L. Baker, AIF® Executive Vice President/Wealth
Advisor They say a “rising tide raises all
ships” but in the case of inflation, I don’t know if that’s a good thing. In the past week, stocks went up but have been feeling inflation pressure. Inflation continues to be the big topic in the stock market in October. Earlier this year the big concern was COVID-19, but with nearly 85% of the U.S. population either vaccinated or having antibodies from being infected (JPMorgan) it seems the actual virus part of the pandemic is becoming less of a threat.
Investors have turned from virus fears to inflation and inventory fears. Lack of available inventory is affecting every company in America. Most significantly, the lack of products is causing the prices of nearly everything to be a lot higher. Purchasing managers across the country are struggling to find products and at the right price so they can sell them at a price that their customers will still be willing to buy. It’s a surprise to me that con-

sumers are still spending at a high rate. Retail sales for September rose 0.7% an increase from August of 0.9% according to Argus Research. Many analysts predicted that consumer spending would slow down as government stimulus payments ended but that hasn’t been the case. Americans have more money in their savings accounts because of earlier stimulus payments, and they have been getting raises at work because of competition for workers. Right now, it’s that they have too many customers and not enough goods to sell them. It is a good problem but it is still a problem. Consumers are expected to spend some of their savings and use some of their higher salaries towards spending for the holiday season in the next few weeks. This will only worsen the shortage of goods in the stores. Higher salaries and higher amounts in everyone’s savings account are a great thing. But when it happens quickly to everyone, it causes shortages and frustration when people can’t buy what they want to buy. My parents have told me how frustrated they get when the Social Security Administration announces a cost-of-living increase but then right afterward Medicare raises the monthly cost by nearly the exact amount wiping away any increase in monthly income. The same thing seems to be happening to workers right now. They are getting raises at work but the gas for their car and everything else has increased so much that it feels like they didn’t even get a raise. In a perfect world “rising tide raises all ships” would only affect income and savings and not the cost of things we buy, but we don’t live in a perfect world. The market is watching this and is hoping consumers continue to be patient and buy their products. I think they will. Have a blessed week!

KRB Media Group supports community and veterans By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer KRB Media Group, based in Forsyth, offers one of Missouri’s top internet radio experiences. Formed in 2020, KRB Media Group currently holds two radio stations. KRBC offers Classic Rock, from the 70s, 80s and 90s. KRBT is Classic Country, Outlaw Country and Red Dirt Country. One of the KRB Media Group’s three partners is Joe Inman, who is a native of the Ozarks. Inman, along with Ricky Huff, began the radio station in May of 2020. A third partner, Alanna Hovey, joined forces with Inman and Huff six months later. “We all have our strengths,” said Inman. “Which, in return, makes a great team.” Inman is no stranger to the Branson area. “I was raised in Ponce De Leon, Missouri, near Galena,” said Inman, who has worked in the service industry in Branson for more than a decade, worked in sales, and also owned his own business. Said Inman, “I have been on internet radio since 2011. I started on an AM station in Springfield, Missouri, in 2001. My dad gave me my love of music. He played with some great names in the 1970s in Nashville. I have always wanted to be on radio. I always worked on the technical side and was the roadie. I have done movies, com-
mercials and theater, but radio was where I wanted to be. Some of my radio heroes are Allan Freed, Wolfman Jack and Casey Kasem.” Inman takes to the airwaves each day on KRBC, with the station’s morning show, “Cup of Joe and Stada Rocks,” from 6 to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday. Other popular shows on KRBC include the talk radio show entitled “The Common Sense Show,” a weekend 1980s show, and more. New shows, including an evening drive-time show are in the works. KRBT is a newer station, with new shows and DJs to hit the airwaves soon. “Morning shows are humorous and lighthearted. No heavy topics,” Inman noted. “Night shows are fun, informative and entertaining. Overnight shows are laid back with a focus on the music.” The KRB Media Group is currently developing two additional stations. KRBQ will feature oldies from the 1950s to the 1970s. KRBH will be packed full of Top 40 hits from the 1970s to the 1990s. The KRB Media Group has a goal of operating 20 stations, all with competitive programming and live disc jockeys. But, that cannot be done without the help of volunteers and advertisers. SEE KRB, PAGE 30

“We are looking for volunteer on-air personalities. No experience necessary,” said Inman. “KRB Media Group is what we call our ‘dream station.’ Many people have wanted to be a DJ but didn’t have the time or know how. We make that possible with our volunteer DJ staff, on their schedule. Our volunteers are one of our greatest assets. Without them, it would not be possible. Our volunteers only need to have a desire to have fun and learn, and to be faithful to their show.” KRB Media Group also has advertising opportunities available. Inman noted, “We do have advertising that works for any budget. We focus on the local businesses and businesses that are veteran owned and operated.” In keeping with their desire to support veterans, the KRB Media Group is holding a fundraiser to raise money for GUMI Camp, a camp that assists veterans who battle PTSD. The media group
fundraiser will include, in part, the auctioning of a guitar, signed by a number of country artists. In addition to supporting our area’s veterans, the KRB Media Group also desires to support the community. “That was another reason to start the radio stations,” Inman explained. “I love my home, and if we can help in the tourism industry and the small businesses with advertising, and help bring people to this area, then we are successful in one aspect of what we want to accomplish.” To advertise with KRB Media Group or for more information on volunteering, call 417-234-7987 or send an email to krbmediagroup@ gmail.com. To tune in to either of the KRB Media Group stations, visit krbmediagroup.org or the free app, Live365 and search for KRBC or KRBT. “If you are looking for the music that other stations don’t play, tune into krbmediagroup.org and ride the wave of music with us,” said Inman.

Teaching children the Gospel by carving a pumpkin By Tiffany Brown, Staff Writer Halloween doesn’t always have to be about ghouls and goblins. On a holiday that capitalizes on fear, why not use it instead to instill God’s story of love and peace into the hearts of our children? Kati Kiefer of TrueMoneySaver.com shares how to present the gospel story to children while carving pumpkins together: Start your Christian pumpkin carving story like this: Being a Christian is kind of like being a pumpkin. Here’s what God does when we invite Him into our hearts… Step 1: Wash your pumpkin. Say – “We’re not a pumpkin, but we’re kind of like one. God picks us from the patch, brings us in and washes us clean. Just like a pumpkin, we have an inside and an outside. People only see the outside, but God sees the inside as well.” Bible Verse – 1 Samuel 16:7 – “The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” Step 2: Carve an opening in the top. Make sure the opening of the pumpkin is large enough to fit your hand into. Continue with the Christian pumpkin carving story by saying… Say – “God wants to change our inside, but the only way he can do it is if we become open to Him.” Bible Verse – Revelation 3:20 – Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. Step 3: Put your hand in and pull out the insides. Say – “God scoops out all the yucky stuff, the sin, in our lives. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, impurity and greed.
Jesus was willing to get messy for us…He died on the cross to cleanse us from all our sins.” Bible Verse – Ezekiel 36: 25b – 27 – I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Step 4: Carve the eyes and smiling face Say – “Jesus gives you a new smiling face. When all the yucky stuff (sin) is gone, you
feel so happy!” Bible Verse – Proverbs 23:26 – My son, give me your heart and let your eyes keep to my ways. Step 5: Add a votive candle to the inside of the pumpkin. Say – “If we leave the pumpkin empty, it will just be hollow. We need God’s light inside of us to make us alive! When Jesus lives inside of you, you can glow! You will want to tell people about him, be kind to others and bless others more than yourself.” Bible Verse – John 8:12 – “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
May we make the most of every opportunity to teach our kids about God, scripture and what He means to us. 18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 20 Write them on the door-
frames of your houses and on your gates, 21 so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land that the LORD swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth. ~ Deuteronomy 11:18-21 Kiefer, Kati. 2021.

Chinn also offers his time to conduct premarital counseling to students and even officiates some of their weddings. Chinn considers himself both a professor and a shepherd to the students and employees at C of O. “Dr. Chinn is an exemplary teacher,” said Dr. Ethan Smilie, associate professor of humanities and humanities division chair. “His students appreciate his humility, sincerity and authenticity, as he walks beside them — inside and outside the classroom — asking questions that matter, especially those that pertain to how to live as a Christian in our contemporary world.”

Fifteen fun facts about Halloween...
1. Halloween happens every evening of the 31st of October. It marks the start of Allhallowtide, a series of Christian holidays meant to remember the dead such as loved ones, saints and martyrs. 2. Current Halloween customs can be traced to the pagan traditions of ancient Celtics, particularly the festival called “Samhain” which means summer’s end. It is part of their preparation for the gloomy winter. 3. By the 1500s, the festival began to include costumes and houseto-house visits. Young people impersonated the spirits, recited verses, and sang songs in exchange for food. Households obliged to receive good fortune. 4. “Halloween” first appeared in Christian writings around 1745. It is a shortened form of the term Hallows evening, referring to the vigils and other activities the night before All Hallows Day (also called All Saints Day). 5. By the 1100s, the festivities included street parades with criers in black asking people to remember the dead. Homes baked soul cakes marked with a cross and gave these out in exchange for prayers. Shakespeare mentioned this souling tradition in his play “The Two Gentlemen of Verona”. 6. Although most people consider Halloween as a major U.S. holiday, it did not reach mainstream consciousness in North America until the 1800s. Mass immigration of Scottish and Irish people allowed their traditions to flourish here. 7. In the Middle Ages, Christians would carry carved out turnips turned into lanterns while going around homes for traditional souling. These lanterns are thought to symbolize the souls of the dead. 8. While Ireland and Scotland preferred turnips, U.S. immigrants used native pumpkins instead. These were larger, softer, and
easier to access. Pumpkin carving was a common harvest time tradition before being linked to Halloween. 9. Another enduring image of the holiday is the skull. This is a reminder of death and the fragility of life. In the Christian tradition, it is a reference to Golgotha where Jesus was crucified. 10. Trick-or-treating comes from the medieval practice of mumming in which costumed actors parade on the streets and perform in homes. Aside from Hallows Eve, they also did this on other feast days like Christmas, Shrove Tuesday, and Twelfth Night. 11. The first recorded instance of “guising” in North America was in 1911. A regional Canadian newspaper from Kinston, Ontario published an article about children disguising in costume as they roam for food or coins around their neighborhood. 12. As for the term “trick or treat”, the first printed mention was in
1927 also in Canada. It was from the newspaper Blackie Herald based in Alberta. 13. Children were often seen in Halloween postcards from the early 1900s, but they weren’t trick or treating. The practice only became widespread in the U.S. during the late 1930s. 14. The earliest literary works on the subject comes from Scotland where poet John Mayne wrote about the pranks and the supernatural elements of the holiday back in 1780. 15. The Middle Ages was a difficult period for all, including churches that did not have resources to display saintly relics. They let
their parishioners dress up as these saints and go around instead. Putting on costumes for Halloween parties is an early 20th century development in North America. People poke
