YOUR WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST, PAGE 29:
Partly to mostly cloudy weekend; chilly on Saturday.
By Gary J. Groman, Independent Journalist There’s just something special when Wayne Massengale and Melody Hart, his wife, perform together. Wayne is one of Branson’s premier fiddlers. He performs at the “Grand Jubilee,” “Down Home Country,” “Comedy Jamboree,” and “Branson Country USA” in the Grand Country Resort. Mel-
ody is not only a great fiddler but an extremely talented vocalist. She performs in the “Down Home Country” and “Branson Country USA” shows at the Grand Country Resort, as well as “Melody Hart Family Show” at select locations. When I see and hear them perform together, their talent is evident and is unique in its own right, but there’s more. It’s a synergy and
feeling of caring for each other that blends with their talent to create an extraordinary entertainment experience even more so. When we thought about sharing a little romance for Valentine’s Day, Branson’s Fiddling Sweethearts just seemed perfect. We used a straight Q&A approach.

By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer We have all heard the term ‘Random Acts of Kindness.” A random act of kindness is an action that is performed for another, often a stranger, simply to bring that person happiness. The person performing a random act of kindness expects nothing in return. In 1995, Random Acts of Kindness Day began, to encourage those acts of kindness. Random Acts of Kindness Day is February 17, and Random Acts of Kindness Week is celebrated February 13 through 19. Acts of kindness can be simple or elaborate. They might include giving a stranger a compliment, holding the door for someone, helping an elderly person carry their groceries, or making a donation to a nonprofit organization. Many times random acts of kindness include paying for a stranger’s coffee or meal or groceries, all admirable acts. But, everyone can participate in random acts of kindness, regardless of their age or SEE RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS, PAGE 20

Elevate Branson receives matching opportunity

By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer Elevate Branson has received a donation that will greatly benefit the organization’s housing project. The nonprofit has received a $35,000 matching opportunity to further their housing initiative, Elevate Community. The contribution comes from an anonymous donor and will support Elevate Branson in their mission to provide low income homes to Branson area residents. Elevate Community is a tiny home development, located on a property adjacent to the campus of Elevate Branson. When completed, Elevate Community will offer
nearly 70 tiny homes as a low-income housing alternative to some in Branson. “We have had several generous donors and businesses come alongside the vision of Elevate Community and have chosen to sponsor a home,” explained Brian Stallings, Co-Founder and CEO of Elevate Branson. “But with the total cost of each home being $35,000, we understand it’s no small ask of individuals in our community. This matching donation opportunity provided by an anonymous donor gives everyone a chance to get involved and support this initiative, and make not
Author, radio host Federer inspires Branson audience By CINDY THOMAS, Staff Writer Area citizens filled the Friendly Baptist Church auditorium in Branson Sunday evening, February 6, for a challenging message by author and radio/ TV host William J. Federer. His Branson visit coincided with an inspirational meeting and call to action for area pastors and ministry leaders in Springfield on Saturday, February 5, hosted by Concerned Women for America of Missouri. Federer’s topic for Sunday evening was “Why America Is Unique and Irreplaceable.”
Based on years of research and study, he has authored more than 20 books in which he examines the intersection of faith, history, and tyranny, including the rise and fall of world civilizations and cycles of history, how tyrants achieve power, how people have fought to establish democracies or republics, and the tactics used by the next tyrannical leader to undermine them. His 2021 book “Socialism: The Real History from Plato to the Present,” is subtitled “How the Deep State Capitalizes on CriSEE FEDERER, PAGE 14

Pets of the Week
Sherry Herschend honored with Skaggs Legacy Award SUBMITTED to Branson Globe Sherry Herschend, a pioneer in the Ozarks and widely known for her involvement in Silver Dollar City, was honored recently with Skaggs Foundation’s Legacy Award. The award recognized Herschend’s longtime commitment to improving access to healthcare in Stone and Taney counties. “Prior to 2007 when we opened the cancer center here in Branson, patients had to commute to Springfield,” said CoxHealth Cancer Center Branson Director Ben Morris. Cancer patients needing radiation treatment often require treatments five times a week for weeks at a time. Radiation treatment is provided by a high powered X-ray machine, known as a linear accelerator. “For most hospitals, the linear accelerator is the most expensive piece of equipment,” Morris said. “Without this equipment though, we didn’t have a cancer center.”
“Our community came together to make the Branson cancer center possible and one of the biggest champions was Sherry Herschend,” said Skaggs Foundation President Meghan Connell. “Sherry provided funds to purchase the very first linear accelerator for Cox Branson.” “Sherry’s major donation to the cancer center was the trigger, it really was the game changer that allowed the cancer center to purchase the equipment and bring us to the forefront of services here in the Ozarks,” said Bob Cox, of Cox Medical Center Branson board of directors. While Herschend’s generosity helped bring cancer care to Branson years ago, her generosity and care for the community continue to keep quality care in the Ozarks. “What’s so wonderful about Sherry’s commitment to (Skaggs) Foundation is that she’s not just a one-time giver, she has supported the Foundation for years, and she continues

Mayor sends well wishes to fire marshall injured in off-duty incident SUBMITTED to Branson Globe Branson Mayor, Larry Milton expressed his well wishes for a speedy recovery after Branson Fire Rescue Fire Marshal Dennis Brunner was hit by a car and seriously injured while changing a tire near Springfield. According to a report by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Fire Marshal Brunner was changing a
flat tire on his personal vehicle on February 5 around 7:45 p.m. on I-44 just east of Springfield when a passing motorist struck him. While Fire Marshal Brunner’s injuries are serious, he is expected to recover. “Dennis’ impact on our community, not only the work he does but what he contributes personally, is
evident by the amount of calls we have received from concerned citizens and community members. He is in our hearts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery,” said Branson Mayor Larry Milton. Branson Fire Rescue reminds drivers to slow down and move over, not only for emergency vehicles but for all vehicles as well.

BY GARY J. GROMAN a.k.a. The Ole Seagull
T
he British poet and humorist, Thomas Hood, said, “Oh, if it be to choose and call thee mine, love, thou art every day my Valentine!” Those words take on a special meaning and become reality in the lives of Tom and Susan Crain every time Tom paints “a heart of love” into one of his paintings, but wait, we are getting a little ahead of ourselves so let’s go back a tad. It would be no exaggeration to call T. (Tom) Morgan Crain, Branson’s preeminent wildlife, bird, western, outdoor and nostalgia painter and one of the top painters of such subjects in the nation. Tom has been painting and doing art work for over 35 years with some of his career highlights including Silver Dollar City, the Franklin Mint, over 20 magazine covers for Cabela’s, Ozark Mountaineer, Fiocchi of America, Blue Book of Gun Values, Springfield Magazine and many others as well as 22-plus limited edition prints and countless individual commissions. How good an artist is the quiet,
unassuming and humble man? Although, earlier in his career he had won the prestigious Ducks Unlimited Artist of the Year and was the first two-time winner of the Missouri Waterfowl Stamp Design, until 2010 he had not entered a State Duck Stamp Competition for about 20 years. In 2010 he decided to compete again, entered the competition in 10 states and out of ten states he placed in eight, winning in three— Missouri, Ohio and Delaware. Wait, we digress too much about Tom the artist; it’s Valentine’s Day, and we are celebrating so let’s get back to Tom the romanticist, love and matters of the heart. Tom and Susan Crain have been married since November of 2000, but prior to that, as their budding romance developed, Tom discovered that Susan, because of their symbolic relationship to “the heart of man” loved and collected things with heart shapes in them. He shares how her friends and family knew about that love and collected heart-shaped things for her. As one of the ways of showing Susan how much he loved her, Tom decided to incorporate hearts into his paintings and has been doing so ever since in the vast majority of his works. His first “heart of love” was a heart shaped U.S. flag on a watch he had. His powerful, majestic and breathtaking “Home of the Brave,” was painted in June of 2000 and shares a compilation of his memories of a
special fishing trip into the Colorado Rockies with his son, his love and appreciation of the majesty and grandeur of God’s creation, love of country and his love for Susan. This painting is one of Crain’s most popular, toured China and the Orient and is the first of his major paintings incorporating his “hearts of love.” His hearts are ever so subtly worked into his paintings reminding one of the Bible verse, “Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant…” In fact, that’s the true beauty of his “hearts of love.” In a testament to his remarkable artistic ability, although, in most cases there is more than one “heart of love” in a painting, Tom is able to share his love for his wife so subtly that one really has
to know what they are looking for to find one, let alone the other hearts or his “Susan” that are in the painting. In the illustration of Tom’s “Home of the Brave,” used with his permission, this writer has loosely outlined the major “heart of love” with a pink heart that is not in the original painting. Notice how subtly the artist has woven the heart into the fabric of the painting starting just to the left of where the waterfall meets the eagles’ wings and follows ridge lines and shadings to complete its form. There is even a heart within the heart. What a special way to add meaning to Hood’s words, “Thou art every day my Valentine.” Isn’t that something we should strive to show our “Valentines” everyday? Happy Valentine’s Day!

Reflections: God created everyone
BY CINDY THOMAS Staff Writer
B
rowsing through some Black History Month materials, I enjoyed and found them educational, but wondered why it takes a special month to appreciate people based on their skin color. And the barrage of “Stop the Hate” decals on helmets and shoes during the NFL playoffs, vitriolic debate about Critical Race Theory, and criticism of police whenever race is involved, make me wonder how on earth we got to this point.
God didn’t intend it this way. And if everyone believed and obeyed the Bible, it wouldn’t be. Every act of violence or oppression in recorded history can be attributed to people groups or leaders ignoring the fact that humans are created in God’s image and should treat one another as such. The book of Genesis details the creation of humans, starting with Adam and Eve. Not different couples of different colors, but one Adam and one Eve, with genetic potential for fascinating variety in their offspring. For those who enjoy scientific detail, Ken Ham’s book, “One Race, One Blood: The Biblical Answer to Racism,” gives excellent explanations, but basically, we either believe the Bible or we don’t. Revelation chapter 7 tells us people from every nation, every tribe will worship in heaven
at the end of the age. The Apostle Paul clearly believed the Genesis account and referred to it in his discussion with Greek philosophers recorded in Acts 17: “From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands” (v.26). Interestingly, the Greeks didn’t really pose an argument but rather, many wanted to know more. Paul’s statement answered a question they obviously had—they had gods for just about everything, but realizing there were some things that just couldn’t be explained, they also had an altar “to the Unknown God.” Sometimes people question the Bible’s seeming approval of killing such as occurred when Israel entered the Promised Land.
It is important to remember those people groups got off the ark with the same information the Israelites did; they had centuries to get it right, and some did. Abraham himself was born into a pagan family but tuned in to God’s voice. At Jericho, Rahab realized there was something special about Israel’s God, and her life was spared. People groups experienced judgment for wickedness, but nowhere does the Bible condone oppression or violence based on skin color, and in the New Testament, Paul makes it clear that everyone, no exceptions, is equally important to Jesus (Romans 10:12). That said, most of us have absorbed biases of one type or another that, sadly, affect our relationships with others and our unity in Christ. We must address those. However, it is important not to ig-

id you know the Christmas tree is pagan?” I am asked every once in awhile.
“Why, yes I do. Why do you think I put one up?” The odd stares are gratifying. Some are surprised to learn most of our holidays have pagan roots. Realistically, if you’re looking for a holiday free of the old ways of Europe, you might want to stick with Labor Day and the Fourth of July. But rather than run from the history and the folklore — I tried that once and it wasn’t any fun — I’ve chosen to embrace the history and folklore, the color... and the emotion. One autumn not long ago, a bout
of laryngitis tossed me onto a couch and kept me there three days. Fortunately, I had a new book, “Mabon and the Guardians of Celtic Britain: Hero Myths in the Mabinogion” by Caitlin Matthews. Despite the pain of the sore throat, I was pulled into a world strangely and deeply familiar. Here in the pages of the old folk-myth book “The Mabinogion” was my Welsh heritage finally come to life. Here was the lament of “Pryderi,” the gates of the otherworldly “Annwfn,” and “Blodeuwedd,” the
beautiful princess conjured from meadowsweet and oak. Here was a land of hero poets and a place where a rightly turned phrase might be just as powerful as a feat of brute strength. A land of hero poets? A place where logic may bend not to the scientific but rather to the winding path of the Celtic knot which has no beginning and no end? These were my people and this was once my people’s land. As with most Americans, I share ancestry tied to many European
Train Up a Child: Children can learn to think ahead

grownups. The truth is that adults will still act like children if they have never learned otherwise. If we don’t teach children how to be responsible adults, they will likely never become responsible adults. At birth all actions are done on impulse. As the child grows, that child should become more and more aware of reasons for actions and become able to think well enough to know that certain actions produce certain results. It has been
said that right-brain dominant persons tend to act more on impulse than reason. Even if this is true, much can still be taught to help any person to think before acting. One method for teaching a child to think before acting is to sit down with a child, take a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle. On one side of the paper write the word “if” and on the other side of the paper write the word “then.” After the line has been drawn and it
has been explained to the child that you are giving help so they will understand actions better, list actions on the “if” side and results of those actions on the “then” side. Following are suggestions of actions and results to list: • If I yell at someone/then that person will probably yell back at me. • If I hit someone/then that person will probably hit me back • If I say something ugly about

nore Biblical principles in an effort to right historical wrongs. Scriptures such as Micah 6:8 (“Do justice; love mercy”) are interspersed with commands about obedience. Government policies that throw money at low-income families or fund abortion, without addressing root problems such as father-absent homes and lack of Biblical morality, do not honor God. As Christians, we must set the example our world so desperately needs by allowing the Bible to speak to us and inform our decisions and interactions with fellow humans created in God’s image.

Valentine’s Day is a day to show love By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer Valentine’s Day is one of the most special and heartwarming days of the year. Branson Globe readers took the time to share their Valentine’s thoughts and memories. Reader Mary Ann Sharp shared, “My dad proposed to my mother on Valentine’s Day. My mother was a volunteer at the Wichita Little Theater. She was in charge of the intermission snacks. My dad proposed to her before intermission, and she was so befuddled that she forgot to make the coffee. Hundreds of patrons without coffee for intermission? No problem, they were all so happy for the couple that they didn’t even complain.” Said Paula Williams, “My parents were engaged on Valentine’s Day. One year later, they married on Valentine’s Day. Growing up, I remember that as such a sweet and special day. A lot of love in our home!” For Pamela Covey, Valentine’s Day has another special meaning. “We were married on Valentine’s Day in 1982,” said Covey. “Celebrating 40 years this year.” Anna Dixon has a unique outlook on Valentine’s Day. Said Dixon, “Valentine’s Day has always been about the kids in our family. We get a heart-shaped pizza and heart-shaped dessert. We sit around the coffee table and we play games or watch a movie. We always go all out for our classroom Valentine activities. We make little bags of
treats and often make homemade cars. My husband may sneak in a card or a flower, but since the very first date, because we are a blended family, we always said Valentine’s Day would be about the kids. Show them what true love looks like, and show them how it feels.” Karla remembers the Valentine’s Days of her youth. Said Karla, “I remember Valentine’s parties at school. Decorating boxes for Valentine’s and picking out the perfect cards for my friends and the boys I thought were cute. My dad always made me feel special on Valentine’s Day, too, with a card and candy and a stuffed animal or maybe a necklace. It was a sweet time. Good memories.” Debbie DeWolf recalls, “We adopted Felix Valentine from an animal shelter seven years ago on Valentine’s Day. He’s so loveable and a big part of our family.” Some find themselves without a Valentine this year. Said Dan, “I became free and sin-
gle on Valentine’s Day. Best day of my life!” Said J.J. Lowery, “I am spending the day with my pets. They love me unconditionally.” Reader Linda Wells noted, “Alone, again. But I’m going to try to do something cheery this year!” Reader C.L. shared, “Before my husband and I were married, Valentine’s Day was always so special. We would dress up, go out to dinner, and usually dancing. It was such a wonderful time. Before we married, he went into the service but always remembered the day with special cards or flowers when he was away. Unfortunately, we went our separate ways, so now, for me, Valentine’s Day is a time to show love to others—I will buy flowers for a friend and candy for co-workers or take little gifts to residents at the nursing homes. I also like to go to the Humane Society and drop off treats or toys for the dogs and cats. It is still a day of showing love!”

Reader’s Corner: Find some romance in a favorite book By CINDY THOMAS, Staff Writer If the recent wintry weather has made you want to curl up by the fire with a good book, or if approaching Valentine’s Day has you thinking of romance, we’ve got you covered! For your reading pleasure, we’ve gathered some perennial favorites plus some local ones.
Courtesy of GoodReads and Listopia, here are the Amazon Bestsellers from the Romance Readers Top 100 from the last 10 years lists. Each book was rated at least four stars by at least 75 readers: • “Pride and Prejudice,” by Jane Austen • “Outlander,” by Diana Gab-
aldon • “Jane Eyre,” by Charlotte Brontë • “Gone with the Wind,” by Margaret Mitchell • “Sense and Sensibility,” by Jane Austen • “The Notebook,” by Nicholas Sparks • “Persuasion,” by Jane Austen • “Dragonfly in Amber,” by Diana Gabaldon • “Voyager,” by Diana Gabaldon • “Whitney, My Love,” by Judith McNaught As personal favorites go, I’d definitely applaud the three Jane Austen titles on this list! I’m a huge fan of the way Austen’s heroes and heroines tackle life’s challenges,
including their own weaknesses, and gain mutual respect as well as romance. A quick search reveals “favorites” lists from many reading groups or booksellers using varying criteria; Austen lands on most of them. Curious about what local readers are enjoying, we reached out to area libraries for their top romance selections. At Taneyhills Library, here are the most popular romance titles: • “Sleigh Bells Ring,” by RaeAnne Thayne – one last Christmas at a ranch that’s been sold after being in the family for decades. • “Counted with the Stars,” by Connilyn Cossett – Christian/

historical novel set in Egypt about a young woman sold into slavery and forsaken by the man she was supposed to marry. • “Goodnight from London,” by Jennifer Robson – historical fiction about the challenges a young correspondent faces in World War II-torn Britain. • “It’s Better This Way,” by Debbie Macomber – romance in the complicated setting of divorce and blended families. • “Mistletoe & Mr. Right,” by Sarah Morgenthaler – a wealthy socialite lands in Moose Springs, Alaska, and ends up solving a Christmas mystery. • Kimberling Area Library reports the following most popular romance titles: • “The Secrets of Love Story Bridge,” by Phaedra Patrick – story of a woman saved from suicide. • “Pack Up the Moon,” by Kristen Higgins – love letters written by a woman to her husband before her death. • “28 Summers,” by Elin Hilderbrand – classic “same time next year” theme. • “Love Your Life,” by Sophie Kinsella – finding love at a writing retreat. • “Mistress of the Ritz,” by Melanie Benjamin – historical romance set in 1940’s Germany At Stone County Library, director Rebecca Payne says Amish romance books are always popular, Beth Wiseman, Wanda Brunstetter, and Shelley Shephard Gray being some of the main authors, and many patrons also enjoy lighthearted romance novels. Payne’s personal favorite is “Gone with a Handsomer Man,” by Michael Lee West. “It’s an older book, but absolutely hilarious as the main character gets herself into trouble at every turn, while trying to solve a murder,” says Payne. “I highly recommend it!” The weather for spending time with a good read probably isn’t over, so grab one of these and get started!

ses to Consolidate Control” and examines the use of “fear” and “free stuff” to establish tyrants and their bureaucracy as a ruling class. Drawing from multiple writings including Plato’s “Republic” and Sir Thomas More’s “Utopia,” with examples from takeovers throughout history including Marxism/Communism, Federer explained how rulers
sow discord or create crises and then assume the role of protector. As one example, the Soviet Union created resentment between ethnic groups in new nations formed after World War II and then brought in a Soviet puppet leader to “fix” things. Every time citizens have given up freedoms for temporary relief, they have lost rights and privileges including even the right to parent their own children. The uncanny parallels to cur-
rent events were not lost on the attentive audience, and Federer used Biblical examples from Israel’s years as a theocracy and the teachings of Jesus to point to a better way. He also quoted American leaders including Davy Crockett (“It is not [the government’s] money to give”) and Gerald Ford (“A government that gives you everything can also take everything”), and gave examples of Christian individual activists who made a big differ-
ence through non-governmental organizations such as the Salvation Army, YMCA, and Red Cross. Learn more about William J. Federer’s work and browse his books at https://americanminute.com.

The retreat will be hosted by Jill Reynolds, author and CEO of Brave Heart Workshops, and co-led by Cat Sharp, certified life coach and a popular speaker from the first Branson event in 2021. The event theme is Connecting
Joy, and will emphasize plenty of fun, laughter and prayer.

ished and feel badly. If I don’t take care of my health/ then I will probably get sick. If I make a mess/then someone will have to clean it up and since I made the mess, it should be me who has to clean it up. If I am unfriendly to others/then they will not be friendly to me. If I do not get a good education/ then I will probably not get a good job when I am older. If I don’t learn to use money wisely/then I will probably never have much money. If I don’t keep things put away/ then they will probably get lost or broken. If I don’t share/then others will not share with me. If I don’t control myself/then I
will probably get in trouble. Sitting down and listing these and other things with a child helps to make life seem a little clearer. These are simple facts of life that every child should know, but often children do not learn. Even very young children can learn these facts. For example, I once heard two church nursery workers tell about two little boys in the nursery. One little boy kept hitting the other. The second little boy kept moving away and the first boy kept following and hitting him. The second boy did not hit back but finally looked at the first boy and said, “You should learn to control yourself!” We would be wise as teachers, parents and grandparents to understand that very young children can learn these facts of life and learn to think before acting.

Celebrate Black history with inspirational resources
By CINDY THOMAS, Staff Writer Every February is designated as Black History Month in the United States, commemorating the contributions of Black Americans to every area of American life, from military achievement to music to spiritual development and much more.
While some point out such contributions should be celebrated year-round, designating a special period can help keep them from being lost in the mix, especially as negativity tends to dominate the news. February was first designated as Negro History Month in 1926, largely due to the efforts of histo-
rian Carter G. Woodson, and 50 years later, President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month during the 1976 national bicentennial. February was chosen because both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass were born the second week in February. President Lincoln, of course, was a primary
influence in the emancipation of slaves, while Douglass, a former slave, was a prominent leader in the abolitionist movement. Many organizations offer special events in recognition of Black History Month. One significant area of Black influence is in the military; as one World War II veteran remarked, “You don’t see color in foxholes.” The U.S. Department of Defense website is currently featuring Black Americans in several historical articles; visit www.defense.gov for some fascinating reading. Additionally, the National World War II Museum recently highlighted an iconic Jazz Age entertainer in its Lunchbox Lecture Series. Visit www. nationalww2museum.org to hear a replay of “Siren of the Resistance: The Artistry and Espionage of Josephine Baker.” Black Americans have also contributed valuable voices to American spiritual development, particularly evangelical Christianity. February is a great time to read or re-read Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” a masterful explanation of the difference between just and unjust laws that is still relevant today. The Pentecostal movement owes much of its early development to William J. Seymour’s preaching at the Azusa Street Revival. Those roots continue to manifest themselves through talented pastors, Bible teachers, and worship leaders. The YouVersion online Bible app is highlighting reading plans by Black teachers and pastors this month, and online faithbased booksellers have specials on
books by popular authors such as Dallas-area pastor Dr. Tony Evans. Anyone wishing to honor and commemorate Black athletes need look no further than Kansas City, where the Kansas City Royals and Royals Charities recently announced that in honor of Black History Month, admission to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is free for the month of February. Visit the Museum at 1616 E. 18th St., Kansas City, Missouri, in the heart of the historic Jazz District, Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays, 12 noon to 5 p.m. “The Negro Leagues story is about baseball, but it transcends baseball,” Royals Chairman and CEO John Sherman said in a press release. “It’s about American history and our struggles and progress in Civil Rights, and the Museum presents that story like nowhere else.” Can’t make it to KC? Check out Museum photos and links to resources online, or maybe make a family movie night of watching “42,” the 2013 movie chronicling the life of Jackie Robinson and the Brooklyn Dodgers’ decision to add him to their major league roster. Sherman’s comment summarizes why Black History Month is important. While American history reflects times of sadness and mistakes, ultimately, what unites Americans is greater than what separates us. Celebrating many contributions of Black Americans even in the face of challenges they have overcome is well worth the time, as it continues to build that unity.

A message to Stone County citizens about Public Safety Initiative Proposition P
SUBMITTED to Branson Globe We need your help and support On April 5, 2022, for Public Safety Initiative, Proposition P. This will provide much needed funds for law enforcement personnel, salaries, benefits and law enforcement equipment— and at a minimal cost.
Prop P – Public Safety Tax Initiative - General sales tax proposal of ¼ of 1% One penny on every $4—or a dime on $40 purchase • As a general use sales tax the costs would be paid for through purchases by ALL who shop in Stone County,
including tourists, visitors and renters, NOT just property taxpayers. This tax will be shared by all of the people who benefit from our sheriff’s services. • Expenditures will be monitored on an annual basis by a citizen’s advisory board.

The estimated $1.2-$1.3 million per year would provide improved staffing, raises for all sworn deputies, resources and equipment. Increased number of deputies including the addition of a school resource officer for the northern three schools (Galena, Hurley and Crane). This would also allow for a dedicated K-9 deputy and provide much needed equipment, as well as the additional equipment needed for the added staff. Currently our 19 deputies, usually three to four per shift, but sometimes as few as two, cover a vast area in the 51 square miles of our county. Adding deputies would improve response times in covering this large area and provide better service and safety to our community. Raises are also needed to retain our current staff, especially in light of the predicted law enforcement shortage. 85% of crime in Stone County relates back to drugs. Adding a dedicated K-9 officer will help with drug investigations, tracking offenders, searches of schools or businesses and tracking lost children. It will release our reliance on other counties for assistance. Who benefits from Prop P? All Stone County residents and visitors benefit. This includes Crane, Hurley Jamesville, Galena, Reeds Spring, Cape Fair, Branson West, Indian Point, Kimberling City, Lampe, Blue Eye and Shell Knob. Branson West and Kimberling City are the only two police departments with 24hour coverage (at this time
only Branson West). Crane, Galena, Reeds Spring and Indian Point have limited coverage, but not 24 hours a day. Stone County Deputies handle the calls in these cities when there is not a police department officer on duty. • The large number of tourists and part-time residents have lake homes here. They expect to come to our county to vacation and relax. They also expect to be safe and secure while they are here. They will also be paying a large percentage of this tax. • Stone County has a population of approximately 32,000. During the summer and holiday weekends, that population can grow to 50,000-75,000 people. • Numerous business owners in Stone County expect law enforcement coverage and public safety. • How you can help: • Review our website: VoteYesOnPropP.com. • Make a contribution to help with marketing costs. • Display info in your business and share with business associates and friends. • Set up information presentations with groups and organizations you belong to. • Follow us on Facebook and share our posts. • Share this with your contacts and centers of influence. • Encourage people to make an informed decision and get out and vote. • Share info on events and presentations from our web page and social media. • Display signs and information on your lawn or office.

Watt’s the difference? Ahh…the frustrating task of choosing lightbulbs at the store. It used to be an easy choice based on whether your fixture was rated for 60 or 100 watts. With new types of bulbs, like LEDs, you can no longer make a decision about brightness based on wattage. This leaves a person standing in the light bulb aisle feeling like the target of a ‘How many people does it take to change a lightbulb’ joke. The average lightbulb purchase requires us to make decisions about things like lumens, watts, and Kelvins. Here is a quick buyer’s guide to help you understand the difference. Watts: A measurement for the amount of energy a lightbulb uses. LED bulbs use less energy (like 10 watts) but have the equivalent light output of a 60-watt bulb. This is because the old incandescent bulbs lost 90% of the energy in heat and used only 10% to create light. LED bulbs are much more efficient, and use much less energy to get the same effect. Watts are no longer an indication of how bright the bulb will be. Lumens: The amount of light emitted from a light bulb. This is a better way to determine the brightness of a bulb. More lumens equal brighter light, less lumens means dimmer. Always check the bulb label to show lu-

If you prefer a warmer, softer light color, look for color temperatures in the 2700K to 3000K range. Pure white has a temperature of around 4000K, and colors that simulate daylight are 5000K or higher. If you want to avoid mismatched colors in a multi-bulb fixture, remember to check the color temperature, or (K). Hopefully, this information will simplify the task of choosing bulbs for your home.

‘She told me...it was because she appreciated the work we do and I deserved kindness.’
financial situation. We asked Branson area residents to share with us their personal experiences with random acts of kindness—whether they offered a kindness, or received one. Paying for another’s beverage or meal is a popular random act of kindness. “I really like to visit local coffee/ espresso shops in town, and occasionally pay for the vehicle behind me, and sometimes prepay for the next City of Branson Police Officer that would come through,” said Bob. “One day I pulled up and someone ahead of me paid for mine. Really grateful!” Said Connie, “My husband and I have secretly purchased dinner for
couples that were veterans. Usually, the gentleman will have a cap on with the service unit he was in. So, we tell our waiter we want to pick up their tab.” Mitzi noted, “Besides the occasional paying for the person behind me in the drive-through line at Starbucks, me and my husband will sometimes be led to anonymously pay for someone’s meal at a restaurant.” Said Rose, “We had just arrived in Branson, newly moved from Oklahoma. We were tired and hungry, sitting in the drive-thru at McDonald’s. The person in front of us paid for our food and left a message with the cashier, ‘May God Bless You.’ We were amazed and so deeply appreciated

that small random act of kindness.” Johnny recalled, “A few years ago, at Steak and Shake, a young man paid for my burger,” while Dorothy noted, “Just last week, I paid for the man behind me.” Erin shared that she loves helping, when possible. “I once taped $20 in an envelope on a gas tank with a note ‘Gas is on me today’. I know it made someone’s day.” Kandis recalled, “The landlady of where I worked gifted me with medication I needed. She just went and paid for it, then when I went, they told me I didn’t have to pay. She told me after it was because she appreciated the work we do and I deserved kindness.” Carrie had a similar experience.
“A lady I did not know paid for my prescription last week, while I was in the process of picking it up at CVS in Branson. With tears, I said a million ‘Thank You’s’ to her. All she did was smile at me and made me promise to pay it forward because that’s what she does a lot. I promised her I would and left CVS still smiling in disbelief at what had just happened.” Mike shared, “I was in the waiting room at the doctor’s office about a month ago. A lady checking in was required to pay a $20 co-pay before she could see the doctor. She did not have $20 and her credit card was maxed out. I walked over and handed her $20 and went back and sat down.” While many acts of kindness involve purchases, that is not always the case. A random act of kindness doesn’t need to be costly to be appreciated. Katelyn shared, “I work at Walmart and every now and then I see kids in the game room and whatever loose change or dollars I have in my pocket, I’ll stop by and give to the kids to play games while their parents check out.” Kelly recalled a kindness she re-
ceived, “One day as I was leaving Country Mart, rain started pouring down. I headed out in the rain, and as I was putting my groceries in the trunk a man came over with an umbrella and held it over me while I finished loading up. It just warmed my heart that he would stand there getting wet as he held his umbrella over me.” Said Karen, “I am a housekeeper. I save the ends of the rolls of toilet paper, instead of throwing it away, and put five or six in a bag and leave them at the Blessings Box in Hollister. It’s not much, but I’m sure it helps many people.” One reader noted, “When I lost my husband five years ago, we had just purchased our house. Our friends got together and moved everything from our condo and storage to the house without me asking. They just knew it needed to be done and did it.” Brittany shared and received a kindness on the same day. Said Brittany, “My neighbor and I shoveled the entryway into our neighborhood because the person who was supposed to plow said the hill was too steep. After we did that, some othSEE RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS, PAGE 21

er neighbors shoveled part of our court.” Judy explained, “I’m constantly helping others. I totally love it, and it brings me joy. I cook a lot of food, so my gift to people is cooked food. In the past, I have helped many cancer patients by supplying them and their family with a meal. I also try to give at Christmas to children who won’t get any presents. The gift of giving is such a joy. It makes the world a better place.” Angela noted, “My sister works at housekeeping at the hospital and cleans Covid rooms. My parents were getting rid of some toys. I gave them to my sister, and she donated them to kids at the hospital whose parents have cancer.” Angela also shared about a special kindness her father offers. “He goes around feeding all the cats that are left out in the cold and the heat. He is battling cancer and he leaves the cancer hospital, and the only thing he
is worried about is those cats. He is very sick, but he still feeds them once a day. He is an animal lover.” Angela, herself, was able to make a lasting impact with an act of kindness. “I had seen a post on one of the Branson sites by an older couple. She was saying that she would like to have at least one gift for her husband under the Christmas tree because they were going through some financial issues due to his illness. I contacted her to meet me at work, to give her some money for gas to take him to the doctor or whatever they needed. The same day, my boss had put up a flier challenging us to do one act of kindness.” A co-worker of Angela’s joined in the effort, and together they were able to make the holiday much brighter for the couple. Some random acts of kindness are the result of much personal sacrifice. LaDonna explained, “My driveway is about two miles long and is in the shade. Last winter I was stuck here

for 21 days. This Saturday, I heard my dog bark. I go outside to see my neighbor (three miles away) cleaning my hill with a rented skidder. This, after being down with Covid for three months, finding out she had cancer, and having her first chemo treatment the day before!” Sherry was on both the giving and receiving end of a kindness. She shared, “A man in my apartment complex had loaned a lady $20 although she warned him she wouldn’t have the money to pay him back for a couple of months. A couple of weeks later he started bullying her for the money. She came to me, nearly in tears for advice. I handed her $20 to pay him. Again, she wasn’t sure when she could pay me. At her request, I went to the door with her to pay him. I then went to my volunteer job and was telling my co-worker about this bully. The gentleman from the store next door, along with my co-worker, was so proud of me for standing up to
this bully. About an hour later, I was alone in the store and the gentleman next door returned. My story touched him so much he gave me a $100 bill and told me to consider my neighbor’s debt paid. With tears welling up in my eyes, I thanked him and then

Cabin Fever Variety Show a success
D.A. Callaway music and comedy (via Facebook) By CINDY THOMAS, Staff Writer A full auditorium of traditional music enthusiasts braved a chilly evening and lingering piles of snow to enjoy the Cab-
in Fever 2022 Variety Show and Fundraiser on Friday evening, February 5, at the New Testament Christian Church in Reeds Spring, sponsored by the
Society of Ozarkian Hillcrofters. Donations were accepted for the Society’s Ozarks preservation efforts and to help fund scholarships for Ozark Mountain Music Association, which supports youth in learning traditional Ozarks music through camps and special events. The audience participated wholeheartedly as master of ceremonies Kelly Kenney auctioned off a series of envelopes, one of which contained a cash prize. A custom fiddle donated in support of the Society and OMMA programs was auctioned; and there was a 50-50 raffle. Most attendees also came early to enjoy a delicious ham and bean dinner. Longtime Silver Dollar City entertainer D.A. Calloway kicked off the evening’s music with piano/vocal numbers
and comedy. Other featured performers were Lonesome Road band; folk singer Emalee Flatness with mandolinist Larry Sledge; and Missouri 65, a young band of Ozark Mountain Music campers quickly making a name for themselves among area traditional and bluegrass performers. Fiddle player Dennis Pritchard joined Missouri 65 for a couple of numbers demonstrating the donated fiddle prior to its auction. Society of Ozarkian Hillcrofters founder Curtis Copeland took the stage to thank everyone in attendance and those who helped make the evening a success, including Kenney; fellow Society board members; OMMA executive director Wendy Wright; Vicki Robinson Benes who prepared the meal; and sound technician Norm Farnum.
If you missed this fun evening, visit The Society of Ozarkian Hillcrofters on Facebook for photos and videos, plus updates on future projects and events. Also check out Ozark Mountain Music on Facebook for special events and summer camp dates. The bluegrass and traditional music camps are open to youth of all skill levels, including beginners, and a great way to keep Ozarks culture alive in a new generation. Beat the winter blahs by checking out other music events coming up at New Testament Christian Church, 21016 Main Street in Reeds Spring. Every other Friday night through February and March, enjoy the Farnum Family and special guests for a free show (www.FarnumFamily.org), or on Wednesday nights, grab your own instrument and join in “Jam n’ Beans.” Call the church at 417272-0445 for information.

Find encouragement at Family Reformation Conference By CINDY THOMAS, Staff Writer Have the last couple of years left you struggling to make sense of the political, social and educational climate? Are you frustrated, overwhelmed or concerned for your children’s future? Do you feel the family is under attack? If those questions resonate with you, plan to attend the Family Reformation Homeschool Conference, March 4–5, 2022, at the Copeland Theatre, 4320 Gretna Rd., Branson. The event will be hosted by the Wade and Kristi Wilbanks family, an area homeschooling family. Their vision is to encourage other families to focus on God’s Word, His goodness, and His instructions for training children, no matter what the surrounding culture and circumstances say. Although the conference is in the homeschooling context, Kristi Wilbanks said any family wanting to proactively add faith-based perspective to their children’s education will benefit. As many families have been more involved in their children’s curriculum during virtual schooling through the COVID-19 pandemic, some have realized they would like to assume responsibility for their children’s education by homeschooling but aren’t sure how to proceed. Others are concerned by incomplete or biased teaching of history, unbiblical approaches to sexuality, or infiltration of Critical Race Theory in many public educa-
tion settings and want to find ways to counter those even if they don’t homeschool full time. Any family wanting encouragement and fellowship will find like-minded families at the conference, plus speakers to inspire them in following God’s plan for training children. Keynote speaker is Kevin Swanson, director of Generations, a ministry encouraging families around the country. An author and radio host, he has been interviewed on media outlets including Focus on the Family and Fox News Network. Other speakers include Mark Robinette of Foundation Church; Aaron Boldman of Future Men; State Senator Mike Moon, himself a homeschooling dad for 27 years; and Noah Prahlow, local real estate agent who serves as Moon’s
Congressional campaign political director and is active along with his wife, Hannah, in the Taney County Republican Central Committee. Kristi Wilbanks and daughter Hagen will also share—Kristi from 18 years of homeschooling experience and a vision for mentorship as described in Titus chapter 2 in the Bible, and Hagen as a homeschool graduate now operating a successful local photography business. There will also be plenty of fun and entertainment, including The Street Troupe of Branson and the Farnum Family Band.

ing on his own, driving back and forth from college. He was out of money and his truck broke down. He broke down and was crying, with his face in his hands, on the side of the road. He didn’t want to call his dad and I to come rescue him. He had to, though. His dad got him, and we figured out what was wrong with his truck. We ordered a part and it came in the next day. He and his dad went to fix the truck on the side of the highway. There was a note folded up inside the truck
that said ‘I saw you yesterday with your head in your hands and God told me to help you. Here’s $100. I hope it helps you fix your truck.’ Somewhere, I know he still has that note.” Josie told of an act of kindness that had a tremendous impact on her. “Last December my infant was in the hospital for four days, terribly sick. I was the only parent allowed, with one visitor a day. My step-mom came to be with him so I could go shower and eat on day three. I was crying, ex-

hausted, a mess. I just went through the drive-thru to get a snack, and the woman in front of me paid for my food. She knew nothing about what was going on in our lives, but I cried a little harder. There are still such giving, caring, generous people around.” Vickie has often shared random acts of kindness. She noted, “I have given many, many times, but have never been the recipient. I guess I just don’t look like I need anything. And, that’s true because I’ve been so blessed in my life that I truly am grateful for just having another day.” Many are quick to tell of the kind acts that others have done. Said Anna, “Lonnie at Shirley’s Kitchen in Forsyth just finished a fundraiser for a Boy Scout that lost his wallet while on vacation in Branson. He has done several other things.” Rene shared, “Many know of my husband who asks for help because he cannot pass an opportunity to
help someone less fortunate. He has helped with everything from a MakeA-Wish project to donating heaters to buying gifts for families in need during the holidays. He will not pass a stranded motorist without offering to help. He pulled a young lady out of the snow Saturday. Also, a few stuck neighbors and a Door Dash Driver. He donates to local charities and organizations constantly. I can’t think of a person more giving of random acts of kindness than Corey.” Reader Laura noted her inspiration for random acts of kindness—her sister TK. “I don’t live in Branson but have done random acts of kindness there while visiting. I lost my sister four years ago to brain cancer. She loved Branson and Silver Dollar City. I had cards made up in her honor and give them out with my random acts of kindness. We were just there in December and gave out a few cards during our trip.”

Several people mentioned Crystal as “The Random Acts of Kindness Queen,” Those who know Crystal know that she not only performs tremendous and unselfish random acts of kindness constantly, but encourages and inspires others to do the same. Said Crystal, “I have done five random acts of kindness every day since January 1, 2011. I have been honored to be on the other end hundreds of times as well. Surround yourself with love and it is easy to spread some love daily!” Rhonda shared her thoughts on random acts of kindness. “I have raised my grandsons doing random acts of kindness daily. It doesn’t have to be money. Kind words and acts can mean more than money, at times. My grandsons are now grown. We have been burned in the past, but you don’t let that stop you from giving. Today, the best act of kindness is to be kind to one another. Simply share a smile to those who have lost theirs. Give a sincere compliment. Hug a stranger. You might give hope where there is despair.” As you can see, random acts of kindness can be simple or elaborate, free or extravagant. There is no limit to the random acts of kindness that can be shared. We hope that you will use these experiences as inspiration to share happiness through your own random acts of kindness during the coming week.

Local nonprofit seeking nominations from community By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer A local nonprofit is seeking a deserving recipient for a tremendous service. The Taney County 100 Club is searching for a Taney County law enforcement officer, deputy, firefighter or paramedic in need of a new roof, and they are asking for the community’s assistance in finding the right person. Branson Roof Company, a member of the Taney County 100 Club, has donated the materials and labor to put a new roof on the home of a local first responder, and is asking for help to select the perfect recipient. “Branson Roof Company wants to support those that are out serv-
ing our community on a daily basis. We want them focused on keeping us safe and not worried whether their roof is aged or leaking,” explained Daniel Koren, owner of Branson Roof Company. “We are just excited to be able to help out some of our local people who often put their lives at risk for our safety and rescue. It is our way of saying ‘Thank you for your service.’” Taney County 100 Club is a nonprofit organization designed to offer support to surviving spouses of Taney County Law Enforcement or other emergency personnel or first responders killed or seriously injured in the line of duty. The Club’s goal is to offer support
within hours of a death or injury. The Taney County 100 Club offers support to 15 agencies in Taney County that employ approximately 500 first responders on a fulltime, part-time or volunteer basis. embers of the Taney County 100 Club each donate $100 per year towards the club’s mission. The Branson Roof Company is owned and operated by Daniel Koren of Branson. Koren has a reputation for honesty and integrity and meeting the needs of his clients. Koren’s motto is “Let us exceed your expectations.” “The Taney County 100 Club is proud to partner with the Branson Roof Company and honored to have such supportive Club mem-
bers,” said Cory Roebuck, Board Chairman for the Taney County 100 Club. “It is only through a supportive community that we can stand ready to assist our first responders when they and their families need help.”

Herschend Enterprises offers tuition-free learning for employees By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer Herschend Enterprises and Silver Dollar City announced this week that they will cover tuition for any employee wishing to further their education. In an announcement on the Silver Dollar City Facebook page, the company shared the news that they will cover 100% of the cost of tuition, fees and books for any of Herschend Enterprises’ nearly 11,000 employees—full-time, part-time or seasonal—who wish to pursue the opportunity for higher education. This includes employees of Silver Dollar City, Showboat Branson Belle, White Water and the Silver Dollar City Campground, as well as other attractions across the United States. The unique opportunity is made through the Herschend’s Grow U initiative, and will make it easier for employees to fulfill their dreams and achieve personal and career goals through education. Andrew Wexler, CEO of Herschend Enterprises, explained in the Facebook post, “Herschend’s Grow U is not only a significant and transformational investment in our employees’ growth, but also our love culture in action. Herschend is rooted in love—it is evident at every Herschend
property, every day—in the way we treat and support each other, how we Create Memories Worth Repeating for guests, and most importantly, how we care for our employees.” Grow U will offer all employees the opportunity to participate in more than 100 fully-funded, tuition-free programs, allowing them to receive a diploma, degree or certificate from one of 30 learning partners through Guild Education’s Learning Marketplace. Guild Education has a longstanding reputation for providing opportunities for those in the workforce, by connecting employers and learning providers. Participants can select from over 30 reputable and established learning provider, and choose from a variety of programs, including those in such high-demand fields as business administration, culinary, finance,
marketing and technology. Additionally, the company will provide partial funding of up to $5,250 for those pursuing studies in other programs like hospitality, engineering, human resources or art design. Rather than tuition reimbursement, the Herschend’s Grow U program offers up-front payment of tuition, and employees are eligible to sign up for the opportunity as soon as their first day on the job at Herschend Enterprises. Said Deanna Partridge, Vice President of Talent Development at Herschend Family Entertainment noted, “Whether it is to pursue a new dream or advance their career with us, we care about our employees’ personal and professional growth because we believe that their futures should be grown with love, not loans. Our team members’ success is our success—and that’s
why we’re thrilled to make this benefit available to all, regardless of their role in the company and without the burden of debt.” Silver Dollar City Attractions will also be holding a Job Fair February 11 and 12, to fill positions at Silver Dollar City Theme Park, White Water, Showboat Branson Belle and the Silver Dollar City Campground. More information on the Job Fair can be found at the company’s website, www.silverdollarcity.com.

From the mouths of babes... By TIFFANY BROWN, Staff Writer • When my son, Patrick, was small we drove past a harvested cornfield and he said, “Look at all those popsicle sticks!” • Imra (2): I need to take Jet (her best friend) out of the sun. Me: You need to take Jet out of the sun? Imra: Yeah. Me: Why? Imra: So he doesn’t melt! • Me: Brentli, baby what are you doing up at 2 a.m. (He was 20 months old)? You have no clothes on and I just gave you a bath and dressed you in
jammies! Brentli: I gonna soot (shoot) you mimi (He had a nerf gun in his hand). • Years ago we were driving past a huge field in Kansas and my husband and I were discussing the crop, which we thought was soybeans. Our son Brian (now a young adult) said, “Well, whatever it is, their family must sure like it!” • “Daddy, when you die, who will mess with me? Mommy doesn’t mess with me.” - Cara (6) • Last year when Braden (6) started kindergarten we had
our first parent-teacher conference via Zoom. His teacher said she didn’t think he knew how to spell his name. When she looked closer he was signing his work as R.L. Stine. • Another one. When I roll down the window to my car Braden says “we can’t lose
anything else of value” because I tried to get a fly out of our car and his new hat flew out the window in Memphis. It was a bad day. • When Aydin (4) got a little book in his McDonald’s kids’ meal instead of a toy he said: “That’s not a happy meal, that’s a sad meal!!”
Feb. 11, 2022 • 29
• Hunter (4): Are foxes nice? Me: No, I think they’ll bite you honey. Hunter: Little kids bite, too, and they’re nice. • My little grandson, Rykerr (4) looked at my well-fed belly and said, “Grandpa, is anything going to come out of that?”
