Memorial Day has also morphed

How many people could actually
give an account about what Memorial
Day represents and when it started?
There are many reasons for the
customs and ceremonies that America
observance on Memorial Day,
such as laying flowers on burial
sites to mark the grave of remembrance
to honor those who gave
their lives in military service.
Originally, Memorial Day was
called Decoration Day and observed
in Charleston, SC on the last
Monday in May to honor 257 dead
Union Soldiers who had been buried
in a mass grave in a Confederate
prison camp.
On this date in 1865, former
Black slaves started Memorial Day
in America. Union Soldiers who
had been buried in a mass grave
in a Confederate prison camp,â€�
states an historic document in the
African America Museum and Library,
Minneapolis MN. â€œThey dug
up the bodies and worked for two
weeks to give them a proper burial

freedom.â€� Teachers, missionaries,

ganized a May Day ceremony that
year. Newspapers from many areas
covered the story and told of how
the freedmen cleaned up and landscaped
the burial ground.
They built an enclosure with an
arch labeled, â€œMartyrs of the Race
Course.â€� There were almost 10,000
people, mostly freedmen, about
3,000 Black school children newly
enrolled in Freedmenâ€™s schools,
mutual aid societies, Union troops,
Black ministers and White northern
missionaries that brought flowers to
be placed on the burial field. Years
later, the celebration was called the
â€œFirst Decoration Dayâ€� in the North.
The Monument Terrace Troop Rally
on April 18, 2014 collected memorabilia
decorations on a wreath
which was to be placed at the Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington
National Cemetery on May 11,
2014. Then the tradition of the President
of the United States or another
high-ranking government official
in his behalf, placing the symbolic
wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb
of the Unknowns. After World War
I, as the day came to be observed in
honor of those who had died in all
U.S. wars, its name changed from
Decoration Day to Memorial Day.
Since 1971 Memorial Day has been
observed on the last Monday in May.
There is nothing wrong with participating
in a traditional shopping
weekend or weekend on the lake
during Memorial Day Weekend,
but why not create a patriotic event
each year to study together or learn
about the holiday? Or have a little
ceremony by a tree with your camping
friends.
This year, 2020, has become
a uniquely difficult one in many
ways. Of course I am referring to
the far reaching changes brought
about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here is a perfect chance to add
another element to reflect on Memorial
Day, and there are many
heroes we can honor in appreciation
this year.

Investment Banking:
Mezzanine financing
Part 2 of 2
By Bob Hodgson, Investment
Banker
Last weekâ€™s article described
mezzanine financing. This is being
continued this week with an example
of how mezzanine financing is
used.
Mezzanine debt often has unique
features that make servicing the
debt more manageable. Mezzanine
lenders will occasionally include
features like PIK (Payable In Kind)
toggles, which allow the borrower
to pay its interest by rolling it into
the loan balance. Thus, if the company
cannot make an interest payment
as normally scheduled, it can
defer some or all of the interest for a
period of time. You will not find this
feature with senior debt.
Here is an examples of mezzanine
financing:
Letâ€™s say Mr. Smith has a
Branson business and he wants
to expand his business.
The
lender will need warrants or options
for the mezzanine loans because
the loan is unsecured.
So Mr. Smith obtains a $5 million
loan by showing he has an
annual cash flow of $3 million.
Mr. Smith unfortunately defaults
because his business had a down
turn in business.
takes a portion of his business
and sells it to get back his money.
An
investment banker establishes
the financial parameters,
prepare business and financing
plans, and negotiate the terms
and the structure.
Advantages of mezzanine financing:
A.
Easy to obtain and does not
require any asset as a mortgage
B. The structure is quite flexible.
The borrower is able to obtain
loans from multiple sources
which results from each lender
being smaller.
May 24-26, 2020 â€¢ 7
Bob Hodgson. (FILE)
Disadvantages of mezzanine
financing:
A. The loans are unsecured so
the lenders incorporate restrictive
conditions on the borrowers like
warrants and options of partial
ownership.
B. The interest rates are high because
it is an unsecured loan.
Fast-growing
companies
often
The lender
find that they do not need to pay the
high interest rates for very long. If
the company grows then its value
should grow. Thus, itâ€™s likely the
company will be able to refinance
the entirety of its senior and mezzanine
debt into a single senior loan.
The senior loan would be a lower
interest rate.
You are unlikely to see this kind
of debt in the public debt markets.
Mezzanine debt can be found in a
wide range of transactions including
real estate developments.
Mezzanine loans are not to be
used for start-ups or early stage
companies. The minimum size for
a mezzanine loan is $5 million and
the average is around $10 million.
Amvest Financial Group is a
leading international investment
banking firm based in Kansas City
representing clients with sales from
$10 million to over $6 billion.

MDC wants public comments on proposed bear-hunting season
By Joe Jerek May
Courtesy of MDC
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. â€“ The
Missouri Department of Conservation
(MDC) is seeking initial
public input on a proposed limited
and highly regulated hunting season
for black bears through June
5, open only to Missouri residents.
If approved by the Missouri Conservation
Commission, a season
could be activated as soon as the
fall of 2021. MDC is asking for
initial public comments.
According to MDC, over the
last 50 years bear numbers in the
Missouri Ozarks have increased
significantly and today Missouri is
home to between 540 â€“ 840 black
bears. Bear numbers are increasing
each year and bear range in the
state is expanding.
â€œWith Missouriâ€™s growing black
bear population, MDC is proposing
the development of a limited
and highly regulated bear hunting
season,â€� said MDC Furbearer Biologist
Laura Conlee. â€œThe hunting
season would provide Missouri
residents with the opportunity
to participate in the sustainable
harvest of a valuable natural resource.
The timing and length of
the season, restrictive methods
and permit allocation coupled
with a harvest quota will initially
be limited to ensure a sustainable
harvest of our growing black bear
population.â€�
Conlee said limited black bear
hunting will be an essential part
of population management in the
future as Missouriâ€™s bear numbers
continue to grow.

black-bear population, MDC bear
research, how to â€œBe Bear Awareâ€�

Most
of Missouriâ€™s estimated
540-840 black bears are found
south of the Missouri River and
primarily south of Interstate 44.
MDC proposes to establish three
Bear Management Zones (BMZ)
in southern Missouri.
MDC is proposing a limited
hunting season for black bears in
Missouri that would begin annually
on the third Monday in October
and run for 10 days or until
BMZ-specific quotas are reached,
whichever comes first. Hunting
hours would be a half-hour before
sunrise to a half-hour hour after
sunset. The proposal would limit
black bear hunting to Missouri
residents.
Harvest quotas for each of the
three BMZs would be determined
annually each spring by the Conservation
Commission based on
recommendations by MDC. Quotas
have not yet been established
for the future season.
Once the specific harvest quotas
are filled for each BMZ, the
season for that BMZ would be
closed. Hunters would need to
call in each morning they intend
to hunt to determine if the
BMZ-specific quota has been
reached. If harvest quotas are not

Special to Branson Globe
Oâ€™FALLON, Mo. (AP) â€”
Large events are slowly starting up
again in Missouri â€” a state more
willing than most to permit sports,
concerts
and
shows
following
the economic shutdown aimed at
stemming the spread of the coronavirus
â€” even as some experts
wonder if itâ€™s too soon.
A youth baseball tournament
near St. Louis Motherâ€™s Day
weekend generated national attention.
Musical shows that help draw
tourists to Branson are resuming.
Concerts are allowed, though they
remain on hold.
Missouri Gov. Mike Parsonâ€™s
â€œShow Me Strongâ€� plan allowed
nonessential businesses
to reopen May 4. The plan does
require people to keep their distance
from each other, but it includes
no prohibition on largescale
sports and entertainment.
Epidemiologists
are concerned
because studies suggest people
can be infected with the virus â€”
and spread it to others â€” without
feeling sick.
May 16, about 50 teams with an
estimated 550 players participated
in a youth baseball tournament in St.
Charles County, a St. Louis suburb
that has seen 679 confirmed cases
of the virus that causes COVID-19.
While organizers offered a long list
of rules that included limits on kids
in the dugout and no high-fives, the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported instances
where groups of boys congregated
together or coaches and
players leaned together to talk.
The tournament was allowed
under both Parsonâ€™s plan and St.
Charles Countyâ€™s guidelines, county
spokeswoman Mary Enger said.
It would not be allowed in neighboring
St. Louis County or the
city of St. Louis. Both have stricter
guidelines because more than half
of Missouriâ€™s 10,317 confirmed
cases, and about two-thirds of
the stateâ€™s 562 deaths, have occurred
there.
Alexis Duncan, an epidemiologist
at Washington University in
St. Louis, said the return to some
form of normalcy should start
with low-risk activities involving
small gatherings. She believes itâ€™s
too early for larger events.
â€œEspecially sporting events
where people are doing a lot of yelling,
where theyâ€™re exhaling more,â€�
Duncan said. â€œThe more talking
and yelling that people do, the more
potential there is that theyâ€™re expelling
the virus particles.â€�
In Branson, dozens of shows
and attractions are scheduled to
reopen this weekend and next.

reached, the season would close
at the end of the 10 designated
hunting days.
Hunters would be allowed to
use archery and firearms equipment
with allowable methods
being the same as those for deer
and elk, except the use of an atlatl.
Baiting and the use of dogs would
not be allowed at this time, but
may be considered in the future.
MDC proposes to offer an annual
online permit-application
period each spring with a fee of
$10 per applicant. Individuals
must be Missouri residents and
would only be allowed to apply
once per year to hunt in one
of the three designated BMZs.
Permit selection would be determined
each summer through
a random drawing of all eligible
applicants. There would be no
â€œsit-outâ€� period for those selected
to receive permits. There
would be no preference points
given, such as with managed
deer hunts.
To ensure resident landowners
within a BMZ have an opportunity
to participate in the
hunt, MDC would propose that
a minimum of 10 percent of
BMZ-specific black bear hunting
permits are awarded to qualifying
landowners. To be eligible,
landowners would have to
have submitted their Landowner
Permit Application, would need
to meet the same eligibility requirements
for deer and turkey
landowner permits, and would
need have at least 20 contiguous
acres within the BMZ for which
they are applying.
MDC would issue a limited
number of hunting permits for
each of the three BMZs. Each
permit would be for a specific
BMZ and could be used on public
or private property within
the BMZ.
Those selected would be eligible
to buy a permit at a cost
of $25. and must be 11 or older
and have completed hunter education
(or be exempt) by the
time of the hunt to purchase a
permit.
The harvest limit would be one
bear per permit. Bears eligible for
harvest would be limited to single
bears only. Hunters would not
be allowed to disturb, pursue or
harvest any bear that has taken
refuge in a den.
All harvested bears would
need to be telechecked by 10
p.m. on the day of harvest. Harvested
bears would need to remain
intact as a field-dressed
carcass or quartered until the
bear has been telechecked.
MDC would also require the
submission of a tooth from each
harvested bear within 10 days
of harvest.
This would help
MDC staff with black-bear research
and management.
MDC will collect initial public
comments through June 5.
Online comments can be submitted
at mdc.mo.gov/bears.
Written comments can be
mailed to: Missouri Department
of Conservation, Attention Michele
Baumer, PO Box 180, Jefferson
City MO 65102.
MDC will review all public
input and finalize recommendations
for the proposed
bear-hunting season for submission
to MDCâ€™s Regulations
Committee in July then move
them forward to the Conservation
Commission for consideration
in early September.
The approved proposed
rule-makings will be published
in the Oct. 15 edition of the
Missouri Register and open for
public comments through Nov.
15. Comments received will be
summarized and presented for
final consideration at the Commissionâ€™s
December meeting.
Approved new rules would become
effective March 1, 2021,
for the fall hunting season.

ly with three generations of musicians,
restarted their show May
16. The 811-seat theater will be
kept at 25 percent capacity.
Sheila Dutton said her family
is eager to perform again.
â€œIf we get any feeling that itâ€™s
dangerous or that itâ€™s not time,
weâ€™ll close it again, but right
now it just feels right,â€� Dutton
said.
Many large venues arenâ€™t
ready to reopen, and many major
concerts have been canceled
through much of the remainder
of the year.
Steve Schankman of Contemporary
Productions, a St. Louis-based
live event marketing
and entertainment company,
said some smaller venues will
probably resume concerts later
this year, but the bigger shows
are probably gone until 2021 at
the earliest. The money simply
isnâ€™t there, venues are concerned
about lawsuits if patrons get sick,
and musicians are hesitant to risk
their own health.
â€œUntil thereâ€™s a vaccine thereâ€™s
a lot of artists that arenâ€™t going out
on the road,â€� Schankman said.
He offered advice for patrons
once concerts do resume: Expect
to wait in line for a temperature
check before entering, and expect
to be required to wear face
coverings.
The season is also in doubt
for the nationâ€™s oldest and largest
outdoor musical theater. The
Muny in St. Louis has never
missed a season in its 102 years
of existence â€œthrough war and
recession,â€� managing director
Kwofe Coleman said.
Two of the seven summer
shows have been canceled, and a
final decision on the rest will be
made June 8.
â€œWe hope for a significant
improvement between now and
when we have to make that final
choice, because significant improvement
would be necessary,â€�
Coleman said. If conditions and
guidance remain unchanged,
â€œthereâ€™s no conversation to be
had,â€� he said.
Patrons can be spaced for
seating, but Coleman wonders
about the practicality of keeping
people separated in the parking
lot or as they stand in line for
snacks. Then thereâ€™s the safety of
the cast.
â€œIf you have a scene where
two people kiss or hug or share a
moment, how does that happen?
How do you rehearse singing
with a mask on?â€� he asked.
Casinos also are reopening
soon. All 13 casinos in the state,
closed since March 17, can reopen
June 1, the Missouri Gaming
Commission said.
Missouri Department of
Health and Senior Services Director
Randall Williams said
the state is providing hospitals
with a drug that shows promise
in helping some COVID-19 patients
recover. Williams said that
once additional shipments are
sent Friday or Saturday, remdesivir
will be available for all 129
Missouri patients currently on
ventilators.
For most people, the coronavirus
causes mild or moderate
symptoms that clear up after two
to three weeks. For some, especially
older adults and people
with existing health problems,
it can cause more severe illness,
including pneumonia and death.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. â€“ June 6 is
National Trails Day, an event that
annually sends people searching for
new trails to discover.
Often, they want a trail thatâ€™s
smack-dab in the middle of the outdoors,
but close enough to be easily
reached from urban areas. It has to
be a place thatâ€™s remote enough that
hikers will be completely isolated
from city bustle and highway noise,
but close enough that you can visit
and return home in a day. Also,
because of the health concerns currently
underway, itâ€™d be nice if it
were a trail that wasnâ€™t over-crowded
with visitors.
If this describes your hiking
quest, keep in mind that many Missouri
Department of Conservation
(MDC) public use areas that are
known for their hunting opportunities
have some sort of trail system
too.
MDCâ€™s 772-acre Little Sac
Woods Conservation Area in northern
Greene County is known for
deer and turkey hunting, but the area
also has a system of clearly marked
trails. The same can be said for the
2,502-acre Busiek State Forest and
Conservation
Area
in
Christian

The American Hiking Societyâ€™s
National Trails Day, the first Saturday
in June, is an opportunity to
begin a summer adventure of exploring
trails at nearby MDC areas.

coming on, that autumn would be
a better time to hike at MDC areas.

National Trails Day, June 6 at an MDC Trail near you
to hiking MDC areas now is that
the human traffic at many of these
locations is lighter. Itâ€™s the interim
period between hunting seasons.
Spring turkey season is over and
fall hunting seasons havenâ€™t begun.
(Squirrel season opens May 23, but
many squirrel hunters donâ€™t hit the
woods until leaves start to drop and
nuts ripen in the fall.)
Things to keep in mind when
hiking MDC Areas: The trails are
not paved at many MDC areas.
Some trails follow old service roads
while others are foot paths that wind
through forested locations or on the
edges of open areas. Some trails are
easy to walk while others may be
a bit more overgrown than what is
found on heavily used areas. High
socks will provide leg protection on
most trails. Bring insect repellant
to keep ticks away and know what
poison ivy looks like because you
may find some near trails.

away, though. On trails at MDC
areas that receive less human visitation,
you have better chances of
seeing various types of plant, insect
and wildlife species. Imagine seeing
butterflies on wildflowers of a
variety of sizes and vibrant colors.
Envision lizards sunning themselves
on rocks, turtles basking on
logs, does keeping a close watch on
their spotted fawns, male songbirds
in vibrant courtship colors perched
alongside ankle-deep and shin-deep
creeks that are perfect for wading
into to see numerous crayfish and
small fish scooting amongst the
rocks. All these wildlife sightings
have one thing in common â€“ they
can only be seen in summer.
While enjoying your time at an
MDC area, remember to follow all
current health recommendations.
These include: Avoid crowded places.
Stay at least six feet apart from
others. Stay at home if youâ€™re sick.
Bring water, soap and hand sanitizer.

Martin Truex, Jr.â€™s Toyota to honor Chapman for weekend race
Special to Branson Globe
CONCORD, N.C. â€“ Martin
Truex, Jr.â€™s No. 19 Bass Pro
Shops/TRACKER Boats and
ATVs Toyota Camry will pay
tribute to Technical Sergeant
John A. Chapman of the United
States Air Force with a patriotic
paint scheme featuring
stars, stripes and an eagleâ€”the
enduring symbol of freedom
for the United States of America.
Truex will pilot this special
tribute car during the Monster
Energy NASCAR Cup Series
Coca-Cola 600 this weekend
at Charlotte Motor Speedway
(CMS).
The tribute to Air Force Tech.
Sgt. Chapman, whose name will
be displayed on the windshield
of Truexâ€™s Joe Gibbs Racingâ€™s
(JGR) No. 19 Bass Pro Shops/
TRACKER Boats and ATVs
Toyota, is part of NASCARâ€™s
600 Miles of Remembrance.
This event, held during the Memorial
Day weekend classic,
honors military service members
who paid the ultimate price
to defend freedom.
Sergeant Chapman was posthumously
awarded the Medal of
Honor Aug. 22, 2018 for his extraordinary
heroism during the
Battle of Takur Ghar, Afghanistan,
in March 2002.
â€œWe can never say â€˜thank
Martin Truex, Jr.â€™s No. 19 car, pictured here winning the Coca-Cola 600 in 2019, will carry the name of
Technical Sergeant John A. Chapman at this yearâ€™s Memorial Day event. (Special to Branson Globe)
youâ€™ enough to our brave men
and women in the militaryâ€”
veterans and those in active
service todayâ€”but we proudly
honor and celebrate them and
their families every day,â€� said
noted conservationist and Bass
Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris
whose father was a decorated
WWII veteran. â€œAll of us at
Bass Pro Shops will be cheering
on our buddy Martin, whoâ€™s a
true champion in racing as well
as in life.â€�
In addition to NASCAR support,
Bass Pro Shops honors
military veterans and families
through the following key initiatives:
â€¢
Establishing a series of memorials
honoring heroes at the
College of the Ozarks campus
in nearby Hollister, Missouri,
including a Vietnam War Memorial,
a Gold Star Families
Memorial Monument, the Korean
War Memorial and a monument
dedicated to the Global
War on Terrorism.
â€¢ Recruiting veterans to join
our team, with nearly 10 percent
of our workforce comprised of
veterans from the armed services.
â€¢
Donating millions to AmVets
and USO through our oldest
and most popular customer
round-up programs during the
busy holiday shopping season.
â€¢ Hosting events that help recovering
veterans connect with
nature including like Fishing
Dreams, a series of special fishing
tournaments for disabled
veterans.
â€¢Offering monthly military
discount days resulting in nearly
a million discounted transactions
per year alone.
