The orange streetlamps lit a covey of maple trees, trees whose leaves were making weird shivery noises in the early nighttime darkness. The sound was almost that of the ocean surf in the new dark of yet another Saturday, another week, another deep fall night, another onrushing winter, another year cold and soon dead. I stood on the high cement parking deck, modern American convention hotel juxtaposed with another old neighborhood. The orange light cast weird shadows over tras

The Ole Seagull’s personal experience as an FAA attorney causes Ole Seagull to believe it’s a job that is already incredibly stressful with no room for mistakes.

Dad said some men dropped to their knees in prayer; some clutched pocket-sized Bibles; others resolutely faced forward—but at the last possible second, the plane swerved and crashed into the ocean nearby.

The book and the class are of inestimable value in giving students perspective on the history of the Vietnam conflict, helping many better understand their grandparents and other family members who served during that time.

The data doesn’t point to a crash. It points to slow, continued growth.

These single-stock varieties have become popular among investors who tend to be gamblers. They have the potential for high returns but also huge losses.

During Branson’s Veterans Homecoming Week, I am always inspired by the number of veterans I see serving other veterans. From staffing the welcome booth at the Veteran Village to coordinating reunions to working tirelessly behind the scenes to coordinate one of the nation’s best Veterans Day parades, plus much more I probably don’t know about, they prove that “esprit de corps” was not something to be laid aside after leaving active duty, but a lifestyle to be carried forward. 

Showing dozens of rare photos, many by photographer George Hall from the years 1908 through 1915, Sypult went into deep discussion showing rare photography of the railway in Branson and took everyone on a photographic look of the thirty miles between Branson and Crane.

DLPA is a non-prescription amino acid analgesic. It is rather costly for an effective dose, and practitioners normally use it just for chronic pain that has been unresponsive to other products or measures.

That flock of eleven is something I will not forget seeing. We didn’t get a deer that afternoon; in fact, we never even saw one. We did see a wild gobbler and a half-grown wild pig, coal black, and hard to see in the underbrush.

Along with Veterans Week, Thanksgiving, and the transformation of many communities into the festive atmosphere of Ozark Mountain Christmas, there are plenty of other fun and educational opportunities for area children to enjoy! The volunteers at Kimberling Area Library invite families to take advantage of children’s events coming up in November:  On Monday, November 10, the Library welcomes KDM Builders for a special Storytime, starting at 10:30 a.m. In addition to building-t

Every day, what Branson offers is built on the four pillars of Faith, Family, Flag and Fun. It’s this that sets Branson apart from most other tourist destinations.

I climb into my truck at nightfall, trusty Basset joining on the console. Key in ignition, watchful reverse into the alley. Bright crescent moon in the Southwest peeks through poplar branches. Truck tires on gravel, then edge-of-town asphalt. Yellow street lamps light the way, one block, two blocks... At the edge of light, a figure darts across the road. I blink. Human form, running motion. Except — the figure was gray, ragged portions of the body missing. And it is sprinting

The first thing to do when it comes to ambition—the desire to make an impact and a difference—is learn to be content.

Dr. Richard Baker, AIF®, is the CEO and executive wealth advisor at Fervent Wealth Management.   I was recently speaking with one of my best friends, who is a pilot, about flight turbulence. He said there are two kinds of turbulence: natural turbulence caused by weather (wind) and pilot-induced turbulence, which happens when a pilot makes a mistake.   We are beginning to see some increased turbulence (market volatility), but is it a change to overall maket conditions or is it

Floating down the river in November and December of the 1960s as a kid with my dad, hunting mallards and wood ducks from our old johnboat, if we saw a few Canada geese on the river and actually had a chance to bring one home, it was a never to be forgotten experience.
