Mother inspired to get son back after benefit concert By Carina Brunson During a benefit show last year at South Padre Island, Tim Hadler made an impression on a mother in the audience. It was that impression that led Judy to reconnect with her son, and it was the GUMI Camp that brought her son back to her. Something Hadler said touched her and made her want to act. Tim Hadler, a native of Washington State, grew up on a farm with a love of music. Hadler moved to Nashville shortly after graduating to pursue a career in music – little did he know at the time that his music would lead him to other things. Having a voice reminiscent of the old-time legends, Hadler pays tribute to Hank Williams, but he also writes his own music. His music really touches the soul with real life behind the words. His music pays tribute to God, family, and military service. His song “Scream” is a song he cowrote with a 91-year-old Navy veteran. The song shows the emotion of the man’s struggles and nightmares related to his combat experience. Hadler created a project that is very dear to his heart – GUMI Camp USA. His concerts are now dedicated to benefiting the camp and the people it serves. The camp serves veterans and helps them heal by giving them projects to work on and tasks that keep them busy. Part of the program includes weekly peer to peer meetings, routine counselor sessions and transportation to VA appointments, and more. When Judy heard about this program at his concert last year she decided it was time to get in touch with her son who she had not heard from in over a year. She texted him – “Please let me know that you are alive.” She heard from him the next day. They talked and she mentioned the camp to him, that the camp needed people to help build and take care of the property. It took only a few hours before her son, Bob, called her back to ask for information about the camp and how to get there. Now, nearly a year later, Judy said she has her son back. “We thought we had lost our son,” said Judy. “If it wasn’t for the Tim and the camp … we wouldn’t have him.” He’s just like he used to be before he served, she added. He is more relaxed, jokes around with his dad, and he realizes he isn’t the only one that hurts, or has these feelings. Judy said she had the chance to tour the camp and said it is so beautiful, content, and peaceful. It is surrounded by trees, and full of wonderful people. Once you meet one, she said, you must meet them all. They become part of your family. Other veterans work at the camp. They have built cabins, a chicken coop, a stable, and more on the property. There is also a chapel, a wood shop, and a community room. They all have a willingness to learn new skills, she said. It’s amazing what the Hadlers have done. “Tim has helped so much,” she said. “And they have gotten these guys to do so much in return.” Each of the campers also receives a puppy when they get there. They raise and learn how to train the puppy and can take the dog with them when they leave if they choose. “We recruit participants by seeking help from Veterans,” said Hadler. “They are so talented. Judy’s son Bob is an amazing man and has brought so much to the camp. “Our hope is that by them enrolling into the program and helping at the camp with projects, chores, and others, that they find it’s helping them,” added Hadler. “Tim has a soft way and understands them,” said Judy. It’s a healing place for those that are hurting and having problems. “I can’t believe how much a year has changed our son, everything … even with us. “Our son wants to stay there,” added Judy. He gets to leave to visit his ex-wife and children, but has to check-in and be back by a certain date and time. “He has a purpose now and can be the dad he wanted to be. “I can’t say enough about the camp, and Tim.” We see the gain in the finished result, she added. “It’s working for our son.” Hadler said if you have a relative who is a Veteran who you think could apply their talents at the Camp, please call (417) 559-3892. The camp is located outside of Branson, MO and also in Pine County, MN. They specialize in helping homeless and jobless Veterans. If you want to learn more about the camp, visit their website at https:// gumicampusa.com.

At a recent event, the group just reached over $48,000, and they still have several more events. The generosity of our supporters has been absolutely wonderful, said band member Wayne Uncer. The group is full of gratitude for those that come out to their shows and support their cause. The band is a traditional bluegrass band filled with Rio Grande Valley Winter Texans. It is a great bunch of talented musicians sharing wonderful harmonies and some of the best instrumentals you’ll hear in Texas.

Exp. 6/30/2023 KiteFest breezy and bright By Anastasia Brunson As I set out Saturday, I had made sure to check my weather app and bring an extra jacket, memories of last year’s KiteFest had me over-preparing as I’m not quite built for cold weather combined with the island wind. Luckily the cold front we had received was alleviating and I was greeted with a pleasant high in the 70’s. The wind was also more light and breezy than previously felt. Grateful for the positive change in the ever-changing Texas weather I left my extra jacket in the backseat and started to peruse the outdoor setup. Before even getting out of the car I could hear an announcer and energetic music tracks playing. Delicious scents from the miscellaneous food vendors also greeted the senses. Looking upwards an expanse of kites danced in the sky (some of these literally dancing to choreographed arrangements). On the right was a section of individual kite flyers with various kites ranging from a simple bright green one to a lengthy rainbow-colored squid. On the left is where the music and announcers voice rang out from. Seventeen kites, all the same aerodynamic shape but with different designs, were controlled with grace and precision by a group of flyers. When the rare happening of a kite falling out of sync and hitting the ground occurred a person raced out from the side and reset the kite, the flyer then quickly gets it back into the routine hardly missing a beat. Rows of lawn chairs encapsulated this section of the grounds, spectators entranced by the twists and turns and synchronized movements. Some viewers even chose to sit in the back of their pickup trucks or on the roofs of their vehicles. Luckily no matter where you sat you were sure to have an excellent perspective of the show and displays. An encore routine was done in reply to a booming round of applause and cheers from the audience. After the choreography was over there were still many kites up in the sky, people chatting about their own kites, and exchanging tips on flying. This being my second KiteFest, I surmised this pleasant event is appreciated by many, even if you’ve never flown a kite there is still so much to enjoy. Everyone has a fishing story Submitted by Duane Yurek, Silver Lake, MN This one started the summer of 2002 on the Horseshoe Chain of Lakes near Richmond, MN. My adult son, Dallas, was leaving the family cabin by boat to go to an island to set up an overnight camp out with some of his friends. Being young adults, they wanted to be fairly comfortable, so they had quite a lot of camping gear and supplies. So, he made a first run by boat to deliver firewood, tenting equipment, and some of the other gear. The second run was for the food, refreshments, and friends. As they were coming around the “point of our peninsula” into more open water, being reasonably windy, the waves were rough. At that minute, the boat caught a big wave and caused it to rise and slap down pretty hard. That sudden jolt shifted some cargo which knocked an expensive trolling motor into the lake. A really heartbreaking way to start a camping trip. Then, the rest of the story In May of 2018, I was fishing with my older adult son, Dave. We were fishing in an area we call the point of the peninsula. As in most cases, we got a few bites around the tip of the point where the wind was gusty, and it was hard to hold the boat. Consequently, we kept sliding away from that honey hole where we thought the fish were. We had to pull up anchor two or three times to relocate back to where we started. Finally, the anchor held, and we were able to do some quiet bobber fishing. When we finished fishing, it was time to pull up; the anchor wouldn’t come. So, we figured we hooked a rock and that was why the anchor held so well. We tried to maneuver the boat to unhook it, but it still wouldn’t come. Ultimately, it took both of us pulling on the anchor rope and finally it budged. Even though it moved, it was still too heavy for one of us to lift it out. After significant tugging and lifting (thankfully the anchor rope was strong enough), we managed to get the anchor up along with the thing that it hooked on. It was the trolling motor that was lost 16 years earlier. This is the one that didn’t get away. Photo by Duane Yurek Photo by Anastasia Brunson

February 24, 25, 26 & March 3, 4, 5, 2023 Music by RICHARD RODGERS Lyrics by OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II Book by HOWARD LINDSAY & RUSSEL CROUSE Suggested by “The Trapp Family Singers” by Maria Augusta Trapp THE SOUND OF MUSIC is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization Rick McEwen’s Kenny Rogers Tribute Show is a treat By Kathy Olivarez After being told by friends in the entertainment business that “he looked a little bit like Kenny Rogers” and “sounded a little bit like Kenny Rogers,” Branson entertainer Rick McEwen decided to develop a tribute show to the famous singer. Thus, “The Gambler”’ show was born, honoring one of Rogers’ most famous songs. The act has served him well. He was nominated for top vocalist of the year by the Branson Terry Awards, which he now helps produce. McEwen’s show has also been popular with Winter Texans, getting him nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year by the Valley Star Awards to be held today at Mission Bell Resort. Starting a recent show with “The Gambler” set the tone for the evening and got the audience at McAllen Mobile Park ready for a good time. Members of the audience sang along when McEwen got to the lines where he sang, “Know when to hold ‘em; know when to fold ‘em.” McEwen encouraged the audience, that he referred to as the McAllen Mobile Tabernacle Choir, to join in many of the songs. Switching gears, he moved to a love song, “Love Will Turn You Around.” Then he sang another all-time favorite of Rogers’, “Lucille,” a song about a farmer confronting his cheating wife in a bar. Then it was back to another love song, “All I’ll Ever Need Is You.” McEwen joked with his audience asking them if they knew what killed chivalry in many men. When there was no answer, he told them it was the key fob. Many men thought there was no need to walk around the car to open the door for a lady when all they had to do was press a button. In the dead of winter, there was no need for a man to go out and warm up his wife’s car when it could be done with the touch of a button. Buying the “little lady” a rose or some chocolates or opening a car door once in a while would help keep the chivalry in a marriage and help keep it going, he said. He asked how many years couples had been married. One couple in the audience had been married 73 years. McEwen asked the couples who had been married 60 years or more to circle those married over 70 years on the dance floor and share the love as they danced around the couples. It looked as if a third of the audience was up dancing! McEwen said he is often asked, “Where’s Dolly?” The question referenced the fact that Rogers often sang duets with Dolly Parton. With a sorrowful look on his face, he said, “Sorry folks, she ain’t comin’.” Dolly gets $1-200,000 just to show up at a show and wave. She gets more than that for singing. Still, he sang Rogers’ most popular song he did with Dolly, “Islands in the Stream.” Before he started he asked if anyone from the McAllen Mobile Tabernacle Choir would like to join him and sing her part. When no one responded he began singing but toward the end asked again. At that point, two “Dolly Parton” look-alikes joined him on stage to complete the song. He started the second half of the show with a Mel Tillis song, “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town.” He explained that Tillis had a neighbor injured in the Korean War whose wife would run around on him. Tillis wrote the song honoring the injured veteran and the sorrow he faced in his home. He added “Reuben James,” another strong song from the era. There were whistles and shouts of approval from the audience for both songs. He added songs like “Through the Years,” “Coward of the County,” “You’re My Lady” and ended with a classic duet Rogers sang with Dolly shortly before his death, “You Can’t Make Old Friends.” The show was well received and afterwards, many ladies lined up to have their picture taken with the Kenny Rogers look-alike.
