Hospital commission report Allegiance pays $75,000 to catch up on rent By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Allegiance Health Management is now up to date on rent payments. On Monday, Jan. 21, the Eureka Springs Hospital Commission reported Allegiance has made all outstanding rent payments. Treasurer Barbara Dicks said Allegiance paid $75,000 to catch up on late payments. “They have caught up as of Jan. 1,” Dicks said. “I did send an email stating I would like the money on or before the first of every month, as written in the lease.” Chairman John House said it’s important for the commissioners to understand what’s written in the lease agreement with Allegiance. “It has become clear as a commission we are going to be more vigilant in enforcing the terms of the lease,” House said. “There have been a number of issues that came up … it has made me personally very skeptical of the corporate entity, so I think all of us are being more vigilant.”
Attorney Megan Hargraves, who attended the meeting via video call, said she sent a letter to Allegiance last year stating the company has defaulted on rent payments. Commissioner Christopher Baranyk said the commission shouldn’t have had to do that. “We already have a lease that states that. They already know they are wrong,” Baranyk said. “Who doesn’t pay their rent for multiple months and thinks that’s not a problem?” House said he’s been reading through the lease and found a clause saying Allegiance must inform the commission before opening a clinic or offering physical therapy. Hargraves said that actually refers to the hospital commission. If the hospital commission wants to open a new clinic, Hargraves said, Allegiance has first right of refusal to partner on it. “If we wanted to open something as a commission separate and apart from them, we can do
it,” Hargraves said. “But we have to give them notice and the opportunity to do it first.” “This is basically a way of preventing the hospital commission from doing things,” Baranyk said. “There’s going to be a renewal of contract. These are things we should keep in mind.” House said the lease doesn’t allow the commission to step in when it comes to managing employees, recalling the commission’s vote on Dec. 31 to pay any ER staff that hasn’t been paid yet. Hospital CEO Vicki Andert said there were no employees that weren’t paid. “I think it also had potential to cover other staff that are essential to running a hospital, possibly nursing staff or other staff members who may not be paid in a timely manner,” Baranyk said. “They were all paid up to date,” Andert said. Also at the meeting, Dicks presented the financial report See Hospital, page 7

Turpentine Creek rescues tigers from Oklahoma facility
Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge (TCWR) rescued six male tigers from a closing facility in Oklahoma on Thursday, the refuge announced in a news release. After traveling 700 miles round-trip, the Turpentine Creek team arrived back at the refuge with two white striped tigers, a pure-white tiger, a Golden Tabby tiger and two orange tigers in tow. Tommy, Franky, Robbie, Tiggger and Floyd appeared to be in good health, aside from being overweight and potential genetic health issues. One tiger, Diesel, is suffering from an unknown infection and was not released into his new habitat. TCWR’s veterinarian, Dr.
Kellyn, started him on antibiotics and pain medication; he will be spending several days in the Jackson Memorial Veterinary Hospital for further diagnosis and treatment. TCWR is asking the public to join in supporting and welcoming the refuge’s new animal residents to their forever home. Donations toward transportation expenses, medical treatment and the overall cost of the tigers’ lifetime care can be made in-person, online at https://www.turpentinecreek.org/ support-us/donate/, over the phone by calling 479-253-5841 or by mailing checks to: 239 Turpentine Creek Lane, Eureka Springs, AR 72632
TCWR Animal Curator, Emily McCormack, reminded the public in a video released on the organization’s social media channels that the six will also be in need of adopters and sponsors. Those interested can do so online at http://bit.ly/Adopt-Sponsor or over the phone by calling 479-253-5841. McCormack went on to reveal that the tigers were victims of the cub petting industry. The facility TCWR obtained them from saved the tigers from a different owner who was going to destroy them once they surpassed the legal age to be handled. The director of the facility TCWR obtained them See Turpentine, page 7

THE
Perfect 10
A perfect 10. Brad Pitt? Jennifer Aniston? Sophia Loren? Nope –– broccoli and carrots, plus others. Had you going for just a minute, didn’t I? Hey, I’m a naturopath, not a Miss America pageant judge, though it would be fun. Just finished reading a book with the very sexy title A Perfect 10 - Phyto ‘New-Trients’ Against Cancers by Dr. Laura Pawlik. Wow, what a book. Dr. Pawlik has some very impressive credentials such as a doctorate in biochemistry from the University of Illinois and a postdoctoral fellowship in immunology and genetics at the University of California. She is a registered dietitian, author and international lecturer. Can you imagine having lunch with her and NOT feeling guilty over your order of French fries? Here is the whole list of “perfect 10” veggies that fight and prevent cancers according to this very convincing authority on diet and health. Flax — 1 teaspoon per day, wheat germ — 1/4 cup per day, tomato — 1 whole or 1/2 cup chopped per day, broccoli — 2 cups per

week, carrot — 1 cup per week, tangerine/ orange — 1 whole per day, strawberries Jim Fain — 1 cup per week, Green tea — 1 cup per day and garlic — 1 clove per day. Folks, this isn’t hard to do and don’t get hung up over just these 10. Substitute any number of fresh dark green or colorful veggies for any of these 10. Just replacing those anemic veggies such as Iceberg lettuce with red top will make a lot of difference. Moving away from pre-prepared, processed and pooped-out frozen meals is one of the best things you can do for your health. Having instead, fresh organic veggies or as a second choice just fresh (if organic is too pricey or not available) adds a dimension of flavor, taste and treat for the eye that can make eating a pleasure. Veggies may not be eye candy like Brad Pitt or Jennifer Aniston but good nutrition is clearly a good type of chemical warfare against cancer. Good chemical warfare — quite a concept.

A proposed bill could expand the list of medical conditions that qualify Arkansas residents for a medical marijuana card. State Rep. Douglas House introduced House Bill 1150 last week. The bill would amend Amendment 98, also known as the “Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2016, to modify the definition of “qualifying medical condition.” If passed, the bill would eliminate glaucoma as a qualifying condition for medical marijuana and add nearly 40 new qualifying conditions. The amendment would add the following to qualifying conditions: adiposis dolorosa (Dercum’s Disease), anorexia, Anrold-Chiari malformation, asthma, attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHA), autism, bipolar disorder, bulimia, causalgia, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, chronic insomnia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, complex regional pain syndrome (Type I and Type II), dystonia, emphysema, fibrous dysplasia, general anxiety disorder, hydrocephalus, hydromyelia, interstitial cystitis, lupus, migraine, myasthenia gravis, myoclonus, nail-patella syndrome, neurofibromatosis, Parkinson’s Disease, posterior lateral sclerosis, post-concussion syndrome, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, residual limb and phantom pain, restless leg syndrome, Sjogren’s syndrome, spinocerebellar ataxia, spinal cord inju-

ry or disease (including “without limitation” arachnoiditis), syringomyelia, Tarlov cysts and traumatic brain injury. Carroll County is slated to get a medical marijuana cultivation facility and possibly a dispensary, too. Osage Creek Cultivation, owned by Jay Trulove of Berryville, was awarded one of five cultivation licenses for the state. The Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission voted Wednesday, Jan. 9, to approve the scores for dispensary applications in the state, and Eureka Green placed fifth for Zone 1. Dr. Dan Bell and Suzie Bell of Eureka Springs are investors in Eureka Green. For Zone 1 in Northwest Arkansas, the top four dispensary scores were as follows: Acanza Health Group, Northwest Arkansas Medical Cannabis (Valentine Holdings), Arkansas Medicinal Source Patient Center and the Releaf Center. There will be a two-week process to officially issue the licenses. Applicants who had high point totals in multiple zones will have to pick a zone, meaning Eureka Green could still receive a license. The Releaf Center had a score of 371.06, and Eureka Green had a score of 370.39. The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (ADFA) said Friday, Jan. 18, that the state has issued licenses to six of the 32 approved dispensaries after the companies paid the $15,000 licensing fee and posted the $100,000 performance bond. Licenses will be awarded to the remaining companies over the next week as they pay the fee and post the bond. The dispensaries can begin building or preparing their facilities but must pass a final inspection before they can officially open for business. The ADFA said sales are not expected to begin until April at the earliest.

Parks commission approves 2019 budget By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission is moving forward with a financial plan for 2019. On Tuesday, Jan. 15, the commission approved its budget for 2019. According to the budget, the commission's projected expenses total $570,207.93, with projected revenues sitting at $583,905.29. Director Justin Huss said the commission is adding staff positions in 2019, saying he believes that will help everyone at parks communicate better. "Part of being successful is realizing when you have not been successful," Huss said during the director's report. "During what has been a tremendous year of growth and challenges, we were not as successful at communicating as we could have been. We've added new positions and are working on more complete, frequent and effective ways to communicate information." In other business, Huss said he's working to get the dock fixed at Lake Leatherwood City Park. The roof of the dock was destroyed during a storm last year. Huss said he's hoping to find out how much the work will cost soon, saying he's also been working with parks employees to get Christmas decorations put away. "Christmas lights are down and stored," Huss said. The commission moved on to discuss the bird blind at Lake Leatherwood. Commissioner Steven Foster said he's working

with the Eureka Springs subchapter of the Northwest Arkansas chapter of Arkansas Master Naturalists to place more birdhouses in the bird blind. Foster said that group would like to adopt the bird blind, saying local teacher Doug Stowe will be building 20 birdhouses with students at Clear Spring School. "If [Stowe's] involved, it's going to be the nicest birdhouses anywhere," said chairman Bill Featherstone. "What I'd like for the commission to do is authorize funds for building materials for the repair of the bird blind, which is in immediate need of repair," Foster said. "We can put together a work day for master naturalists to put the bird blind back together and develop programing around it." Foster moved to authorize Huss to enter into an agreement with the master naturalists to adopt the bird blind, and the commission agreed to do so. "I'm excited about working with them," Huss said. Also at the meeting, the commission approved year-end financials. The commission ended the year with $597,519.51 in revenue and $444,119.33 in expenses. Huss said he was happy with the way the commission ended the year, and commissioner Ferguson Stewart agreed. Stewart thanked parks employee Dove Bolerjack for organizing the financial information. The commission's next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 12, at The Auditorium.

Bobby Gene Toombs

Bobby Gene Toombs, 86, passed away Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2018 at Prestige Assisted Living in Lake Havasu City, Ariz. Bob was born Feb. 10, 1932 in Springfield, Mo. His family soon moved to Eureka Springs, Ark. where Bob attended school until he graduated from high school in 1950. Eager to get started in life, Bob headed to California where he had several cousins who gave him a helping hand. While working in Yuma, Ariz. he got a letter from Uncle Sam calling on him to join the Army. He served in Korea until after the exchange of prisoners. He then briefly attended college at the University of Arkansas, until the urge to get on with his life returned him to Tracy, Calif., where he worked as a carpenter. There he met his wife, Barbara Ayars, while selling Christmas trees for the VFW on the lot next to where she lived. It was love at first sight and after a brief courtship they were married in Reno, Nev. the day after Bob’s 23rd birthday. Bob thought maybe his future might be in Alaska. So – May of 1958 he sold his old work pickup to pay for the trip, loaded up his car and he and Barbara headed north to Fairbanks, Alaska. He planned to have what he called a “working vacation”. They would both get jobs and in their spare time would explore Alaska, then return to California for the winter. That “working vacation” lasted 53 years as they only returned to California long enough to sell their mobile home and bring the rest of their belongings up to Alaska. Soon, as in California, his family followed
– mom and dad, brothers, and even cousins and an aunt and uncle. In 1962 Bob started Toombs and Company, Builders – later to become Toombs and Company, Inc. When he wasn’t working, Bob enjoyed hunting, fishing, and all things Alaskan. He and Barbara also took up skiing, curling, snow machining, boating and just about everything Alaska had to offer. Bob was the first Yukon Marathon boat racer to retire the traveling trophy for winning the race three times. He also took up flying and used his float plane to transport people and materials to his may bush jobs. It also enabled he and Barbara to explore other lakes and rivers they hadn’t been able to reach before. In the 1990s, he and Barbara bought a fifth-wheel travel trailer and began exploring Arizona. In 2000 they built a home in Lake Havasu City, Ariz. and started spending winters there until 2011 when they moved there permanently. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Marie Toombs; his youngest brother, Tom Toombs and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Barbara; his brother, Bill and his wife Jody of Clam Gulch, Alaska; his sister-in-law, Louise Toombs of Berryville, Ark. and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and their families. Per Bob’s wishes, there will be no services. When the time comes, both he and Barbara’s ashes will be returned to Alaska and scattered up the Salcha River.
