Womack visits ES high school, shares recipe for success By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com
U.S. Rep. Steve Womack spoke to Eureka Springs High School students about the pillars of citizenship on Thursday, outlining his “recipe for success.” “Any time I have a chance to get in front of young people, the future leaders of our country, I’m inspired to give you a little bit of context of what I would like to see you do,” Womack said. He highlighted the importance of education, wise behavior choices, good health and public service for both a successful career and a successful life. “Aside from your faith and your family which should always be at the very top of your priority list, I believe in my heart that the single biggest thing going on in your life right now is what you’re doing in school today,” he said. “Your education.” In today’s global economy, Womack said the students are competing against billions of people. “In America, we put a premium on teaching our kids and giving them an education that can make them competitive with anybody else on the planet,” he said. “You can be whatever you want to be, but education will open those doors.” He also cautioned the students to make wise choices in regard to their behavior. “You will become a product of your decisions,” Womack said, “and every single one of you here today has been or will be tempted to do stupid stuff. There’s a lot of stupid stuff out there. I want you to have the ability to recognize it and to put that stop sign out and say ‘This is going to reduce the odds of my success if I go in this direction.’ ” Decisions made today can have lifelong consequences, he said, and he encouraged students to reach out to their peers as well. “What we’re asking of future leaders is not only to say no to these temptations,” he said, “but to also muster the courage, character and leadership to be able to grab your peer and say ‘Wait a minute. Not only am I not going to do it, I’m going to do everything I can to save you as well.’ ” Womack advised the students to make good decisions for their health as well.
“You won’t be 17 years of age for the rest of your life,” he said. “You’re blessed right now because you can overcome a lot of things just by being young.” Womack told the students that starting a healthy regimen while they’re young will put the odds in their favor for good health throughout their lifetimes. “It’s one of the most important things you can ever do,” he said. “There is no replacement for you on the shelf at Walmart.” Healthcare is an expensive proposition by itself, he said, so striving to live a healthy life is a really good investment from an economic perspective as well. “A lot of productivity issues are associated with health,” Womack said. “If someone is chronically sick all the time because they’re not taking care of themselves, then they’re not a reliable team member in their occupation, and it will become a discriminator on their employment.” He also encouraged the students to engage in public service. “This one is difficult because we’re kind of a selfish lot as people,” he said. “I believe in my heart that because we have grown up in the greatest country the world has ever known we owe our country something back. We take what we have in this country for granted, and every single one of you has the capacity to pay something forward.” Some do it by donating money, Womack said, while others volunteer their time and labor. “Random acts of kindness do the soul so much good,” he said. “If we had more of that, we would probably have a whole lot less hate in the world.” Womack said it is also critical for high schoolers to begin thinking about financial management. “I wish every single person in this room would make a personal commitment to take a percentage of your net income,” he said, “and salt away that percentage in another account somewhere, like a savings account or an investment structure of some kind. Make a commitment not to go to it or draw from it unless it’s an absolute emergency.” Womack continued, “It won’t be worth

much for a while, but then the compounding effect will happen. By investing in that account over and over again, you will watch that balance grow and grow. This may be how you buy your house or afford that car down the line.” After concluding his speech on the pillars of citizenship, Womack took questions from the students. Junior Isaiah McCurry brought up school safety, asking what Womack was doing to address the issue. “School safety is important, but all safety is important,” Womack said. “I don’t believe the issue is necessarily guns. I think guns are a manifestation of an underlying issue that we need to find a solution to as a society. That is the hate and contempt that a lot of people have.” He continued, “Some of it is mental illness, and some of it is drugs. We’ve got to find a way to make people pay it forward by giving something back rather than trying to take something. I think we need to have a really good national discussion about violence as a rule and about what we can do to protect ourselves from it.”
Womack said he is not the type to take a knee-jerk reaction to a specific event. “I’m not going to say this will all be solved if we can start checking off and drawing lines through the Bill of Rights,” he said. “I’m just as supportive of the Second Amendment right to bear arms as I am the First Amendment right to take issue with anything I’ve said in this free and open society.” Womack continued, “The Constitution is a very sacred document to me. It’s the first thing I said when I took office. I said ‘I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.’ ” He presented the students who asked questions with a congressional coin and complimented them for speaking up. “I want to compliment you guys,” Womack said. “I give this speech in a lot of settings. Either someone threatened you to pay attention, or you kids are acting above grade level. What I saw today is not what I see in some of the other schools. It makes me feel really good about what’s going on in Eureka Springs.”

Parks commission addresses shutdown of downhill project area By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
As of Monday, March 26, parts of Lake Leatherwood City Park have been shut down while construction continues on the new downhill mountain bike trails project there. The Eureka Springs Parks Commission held a special called meeting on Tuesday, March 27, to address the temporary shutdown. Chairman Bill Featherstone said the areas that have been shut down include the new downhill trails that have not been built, the new downhill trails that have been built, all of the original Miner’s Rock Trail and the new re-route of Miner’s Rock Trail. The reason for the shutdown, Featherstone said, is to keep the public safe during construction. “Downhill mountain biking in general is inherently dangerous. The trails are not completed,” Featherstone said. “There are no permanent signs to help people understand what’s going on. The clear message was to immediately just close the area down to everyone unless you’re authorized by our director.” The area should open back up, Featherstone said, sometime in May. Parks director Justin Huss said the new access point to all the trails in that area will be at a tunnel underneath the main road. “Work is going to be happening there as well, including hardening the existing spaces,” Huss said. “That’s the access point from below, which ultimately is going to be a tremendous improvement.” In the meantime, Huss said, he’s open to coordinating guided tours of the closed area so people can see what’s going on at the park. Featherstone said he spoke with Mayor Butch Berry earlier that day, saying Berry expressed concern over the shutdown. “The mayor suggested that perhaps it would be perceived we have something to hide. It has nothing to do with any of that,” Featherstone said. “That thought never crossed our mind. The intent is to keep everybody safe, because if somebody gets hurt, that’s on us, and that could
be catastrophic.” Commissioner Ferguson Stewart said he supports the shutdown. “My main issues have always been with public safety. I believe in being on the caution side of this,” Stewart said. “I think it’s a good thing to do. We need to keep the public safe.” The commission opened the floor for public comments, starting with alderwoman Mickey Schneider. Schneider said she’s worried about the commission building the new trails without having a completed ecological study of the area. “If you tear everything up now, what’s the point of studying next spring?” Schneider said. Huss said there are many considerations when it comes to the ecological impact of the project. The area where the trails are being built, Huss said, already have power line cuts close to the road. The commission will be working on an restoration project later this year, Huss said. “We’re going to restore the glades. That’s about 200 acres, almost acre for acre of this area,” Huss said. “There is access for interpretive and educational programming.” Until the downhill project started, Huss said, no one was visiting that particular area. “Some areas are already compromised with a multitude of things. There’s a lot of stuff going on,” Huss said. “We feel this is a measured project.” Doug Stowe remembered seeing some cyclists on a red trailer being shuttled to Leatherwood and asked if that had anything to do with the shutdown. Featherstone said it did. “What I observed was somebody was pulling a red trailer. It was loaded with bikes,” Stowe said. “It looked like what they were doing was setting up their own up and down travel service.” Denton West said that was his red trailer. “We’re doing tours of the trails that are completed and shuttle service is part of the plan,” West said. “That’s the whole deal with downhill is they don’t like to ride uphill. This is an extreme trail system that will be totally different, and they will not ride
them until they are open.” Commissioner Ruth Hager said she’s heard several cyclists saying they’ve heard the trails are open. “I tell them they’re not open,” Hager said. “I’ve had a lot of people asking me if they’re open.” “When somebody sees your trailer hauling people up and down on the weekend, the assumption would be made that the trails are open,” Stowe said. “They’re not, and I tell everyone I shuttle they’re not,” West said. “Other people are coming in here and shuttling their own cars and trucks to the top. I’m trying to do it the right way.” Mike Shah said he’s concerned the new trails will have a negative impact on the ecology of the area. “Arkansas is the place in the middle where Europe dropped off on one side and South America dropped off on another,” Shah said. “If you can’t show them that, which is Miner’s Rock, they can’t learn it.” Carrie Marry said she’s excited about the project. “The trails are absolutely beautiful. They’re like a work of art,” Marry said. “They’re sinewy, graceful soft mounds. I see cedars that are peeled and ready to go for bridges. I was just so impressed.” Pat Matsukis said her problem is with the parks commission. The way the commission has handled the project, Matsukis said, hasn’t involved everyone in the community. “Everybody has to be asked to the table, not just who you want there,” Matsukis said. “When you don’t have public meetings … you disenfranchise some of us, so this guy over here is going, ‘I wish he’d shut up’ and that person over there is going, ‘I wish he’d go home.’ That’s what you guys have done as a commission.” City clerk Ann Armstrong said she’s heard from people in the community, saying the problem isn’t with the project itself. It’s about how the project happened, Armstrong said. “I really have a sense of there not being as much openness about something this See Parks, page 5

‘Mental disease defense’ likely Santiago set for trial beginning Aug. 27
Citizen Opinion by Cindy Worley

Joseph Santiago, the Carroll County man accused of murdering his autistic older brother in the family home in January 2017, is scheduled to stand trial beginning Aug. 27 in Eureka Springs. Carroll County Circuit Judge Scott Jackson set the trial date during a brief hearing on Monday in the courtroom of the Eastern District Courthouse in Berryville. He also set aside the afternoon of Monday, June 4, for a pretrial hearing in the Berryville courtroom and instructed Santiago’s defense attorneys to have any pretrial motions and a witness list prepared by May 16. Santiago, 19, is charged with capital murder in the Jan. 17, 2017, death of 21-year-old Alex Santiago, who was killed in a mobile home in the Grandview community northwest of Berryville. An affidavit from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office says Joseph Santiago admitted to investigators that he killed his brother with a baseball bat and sword.

immense using public money that there could have been, and that is a lot of why the level of consternation is what it is,” Armstrong said. “It’s how it’s happened.” Chris Fischer said the commission should have planned the
Public defender Robert “Beau” Allen, in response to a question from Jackson, said during Monday’s hearing that the defense is “headed in the direction, most likely, of a mental disease defense.” Carroll County Prosecuting Attorney Tony Rogers alluded to Santiago being evaluated by a psychiatrist, although it wasn’t clear if he was referring to a court-ordered evaluation that Santiago underwent in February or if the defense has sought its own independent evaluation. The state psychologist who interviewed Santiago in February reported that he was fit to stand trial and does not suffer from a mental disease or defect. The report noted that Santiago does suffer from “severe Major Depressive Disorder,” which was in full remission at the time of the evaluation. Santiago, dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit, handcuffed and shackled at the waist and feet, was escorted into the courtroom shortly before 9 a.m. Monday along with six other inmates from the Carroll County
Detention Center. Before the morning court session, he spoke quietly with the other inmates, at one point laughing in response to one of them. When his case was called, Santiago answered Jackson’s greeting politely and then stood quietly while the judge spoke with prosecutors and defense attorneys. Santiago has pleaded not guilty to the capital murder charge, and to charges of attempted capital murder and arson. The latter charges apparently stem from a fire at the family’s home in April 2016. Santiago told investigators that he locked his brother in his room and poured gasoline on the floor before setting the home on fire, according to the CCSO affidavit. Patrick Benca, a Little Rock attorney who is assisting Allen with Santiago’s defense, was present for Monday’s hearing. Jackson set aside a week for Santiago’s trial. Santiago was 17 at the time of his brother’s death but turned 18 the following month. Prosecutors said from the outset that they intended to try Santiago as an adult.
project better. “You’ve made a big mistake, a big error in working into a trustful situation with folks like me,” Fischer said. Stowe said it’s important for everyone to remember we’re all part of a community. “We may feel angry over a particular issue. That’s what the con-
cept of forgiveness is for,” Stowe said. “We’re at a point of moving forward with attempted good graces toward each other, which may involve some of us making the effort to forgive or listen better.” The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 17, at The Auditorium.

Planning commission approves community center greenhouse By Kelby Newcomb
CCNNews@cox-internet.com
The Eureka Springs Community Center is one step closer to starting its greenhouse project. The Eureka Springs Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the commercial construction review for the greenhouse at 44 Kingshighway. Glenn Crenshaw, vice chair of the Community Center Foundation board, presented the plans, saying the community center’s greenhouse will be built by the same company that built Eureka Springs High School’s greenhouse. The greenhouse construction plans will need to be approved by the Eureka Springs City Council before construction can begin. The commission also voted unanimously to approve a conditional use permit (CUP) for one unit of tourist lodging at 10 Woolridge.
Karen Gros, who submitted the request, said she works as a tour guide in Europe a few months out of the year and would like to do nightly rentals at her home during that period for additional income. “I do want to address a potential concern that area hotels might feel competition,” she said. “I teach cooking classes in my home and have a business license for that. I’ve been doing that 14 years. I bring in a lot of people from Tulsa, Little Rock and Kansas City, and I always refer them to area hotels.” Gros said she did not feel as if a few months out of the year would be a competitive issue for area hotels. The commission also voted to deny the removal of an oak tree at 113 Shelton Drive. According to building inspector Bobby Ray’s recommendation, the tree seems to be in general decline and is
causing damage to both the owner’s and neighbors’ roofs. Ray said the owner has planted four other trees in their front yard to compensate. Commissioners Woodrow Acord, Theodore Cottingham and Beverly Abbey voted to approve the removal, and commissioners Tom Buford and Susan Harman voted against it. Chairwoman Ann Tandy-Sallee decided not to cast a tie-breaking vote, letting the motion die on the table. The commission then discussed allowing the building inspector to issue waivers for tree removal at his discretion, except in cases of more than 10 cuts. “An old tree was taken down, and apparently quite a few people voiced their concern,” Tandy-Sallee said. “It’s my understanding that after that happened [the building inspector] was instructed to send all tree cuts to the planning commission. This is now the third one we’ve had.” Although Ordinance 1054 gave the building inspector new instructions, Harman said the city code was never revised. She said she did not believe the commission needed to take action on the matter because the building inspector was still authorized by city code to issue waivers at his discretion. Abbey suggested the commission reaffirm the process for issuing waivers for tree removal. The commission voted to reaffirm that the building inspector shall continue to follow the code and issue waivers at his discretion. Acord, Abbey and Cottingham voted in favor of the motion, and Harman and Buford voted against it. Tandy-Sallee cast the tie-breaking vote, approving the motion. Tandy-Sallee said the commission needed to reconsider the earlier tree removal. “We denied that tree-cutting because I was under the impression that would go to the city council,” she said. “It’s not going to city See Planning, page 13

Sleep tight (and right!)
It came upon a midnight clear, or perhaps earlier. I’m writing about sleep, safe and restful Jim Fain sleep, something we all need and all find elusive at times. For some of us this is temporary but for others it can be long term. Restorative sleep is a requirement for a good life. Supplements can be of great help both in falling asleep and staying asleep longer and are not only effective but also safe. Sleep rhythm changes according to our age, emotional and physical need. Many people as they get older sleep shorter hours, often taking naps between wake cycles. If you can accommodate this pattern let it happen. If on the other hand you have scheduling pressures and work hours, then setting and maintaining a regular sleep/wake time is needed. Mostly, being able to shut off the thinking and planning at the same time the wave of sleep hits is what causes us to rest longer. Regularly, I take nine milligrams of melatonin about 15 minutes after I’ve taken 400 milligrams of Sun theanine. Sun theanine is a high-quality supplement with no downside that I’m aware of. The theanine causes my brain to relax without being sedated. I simply find myself at ease without all of that thinking and worry to contend with. The melatonin then kicks in a wave of sleep and off I go to slumber land. The only downside I know of for melatonin is, at higher doses, I’ll get very vivid dreams ... sort of fun and not a bad thing. If I wake up too early and can’t easily drop off then I’ll take two more theanine but not the melatonin ensuring I won’t be sluggish at breakfast. For people with very difficult times going to sleep, I think a relaxation support formula is useful. I’ve had to do this myself from time to time. Simply adding the relaxation formula to the theanine at bedtime then taking the melatonin has been very effective for me. A relaxation formula typically will include a variety of herbs such as magnolia, chamomile, lemon balm, valerian root, skullcap, hops and passion flower. Often magnesium and vitamin B6 is included, as well. So, stop watching TV or reading the news online an hour before bed, make sure your bedroom temp is on the cooler side and nice and dark. Be sure your bed clothes are comfortable (or absent) and that your bed is supportive and loveable. At this time of the year stress and tension can hit us all with all of the planned activities. Embrace the wonderful energy of summer. Help yourself with a good night’s sleep!

Photos by Tavi Ellis
This eggstravagant event, held on Saturday, March 31, includes the dropping of 10,000 plastic Easter eggs from a Eureka Springs Fire Department fire truck boom and is hosted by Faith Christian Family Church and The Great Passion Play.
Forecasted rain showers hold off during the Easter Eggstravaganza on Saturday, so colorful, plastic eggs rain down from the sky instead.
Eggcitement and joy run rampant through the 6- to 9-year-olds.
Children, parents and grandparents are in eggsactly the right place to enjoy games, four different bounce houses and free hot dogs and refreshments for everyone.
After a sing-a-long of Hokey Pokey with the Easter Bunny, best buddies Ruby and Talon get a sweet snuggle.
The boom of the Eureka Springs fire truck soars over the Volunteer firefighter Scott Dignan gives a big thumbs up after the first successful egg drop. crowd.

Clear Spring Fling to feature live, silent auctions April 7 By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Clear Spring School will have its biggest fundraiser of the year, Clear Spring Fling, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, April 7, at Main Stage in downtown Eureka Springs. The event promises an evening of music, dancing, hearty hors d’ouevres and an array of auction items. Steve Beacham, vice president of Clear Spring’s board, said many pieces of art will be up for sale during the auction. Some of the art, Beacham said, is from artists who are no longer living, such as Glenn Gant, Julie Traxler, Elsie Freund and Max Elbo. “We’ve got a nice representation there, so if anybody would like to start collecting art, it’s a great chance for that,” Beacham said. The auction will have other items, Beacham said, such as a comic book collection, handmade knives, gift certificates for different services and jewelry. You don’t have to be at the event to bid on the items, Beacham said. Just give him a call at 479981-9161 and he’ll be sure your bid is sub-

mitted. “We’ve already received some sealed bids on items,” Beacham said. “We’ll seal it and it won’t be divulged until the item is up for auction. It’s for any auction item.” Jane Tucker, secretary of the board, said she’ll be catering the event with food from all over the world. The cuisine is meant to reflect the experiences of Clear Spring alumni, Tucker said. “There will be samplings from Japan, Russia, England, Norway, Mexico, Holland, Canada, Liberia, South America and New Zealand,” Tucker said. “So many of our teachers and students have studied abroad and come from abroad. We have students now who are in the Peace Corps or work in the state department. Global citizens is what we tend to emphasize.” Board president Peggy Pot said travel is important to the school’s curriculum. “It’s a big part of the experience of a Clear Spring student, starting with camping when they’re little, then statewide travel,” Pot said. “It seems like from school a lot of our students have gone on

and studied and lived and worked abroad, or at least traveled extensively abroad. We love all ways of being and all culture, and we encourage that in the students.” It’s important that the community support the event, Pot said, because the school keeps its tuition low to bring more students in. Clear Spring School receives no federal funding, Pot added. “It costs us more than our tuition to educate that child each year, so we have to make up the gap,” Pot said. “Community support is how we do it.” Phyllis Poe, head of school, agreed. “It really is part of the reason why we can continue to be here and build up our scholarships,” Poe said. “We rely heavily on scholarship donations. For people to give so generously … it means a lot to us that they value us and realize what their donation means for those children.” Tucker said she’s glad to have Clear Spring School, especially in such a small community. “We are incredibly fortunate in Eureka Springs, with the size of this town, to have

options,” Tucker said. “We have the public school, Clear Spring School and the Academy of Excellence. To have these many options in this small of an area is amazing.” The type of learning at Clear Spring School, Tucker said, influences learning in the community as a whole. “When you have an independent school, it only helps the public school, because we try things that are new and innovative and it eventually passes on,” Tucker said. “We’re the testing ground for things that work and it’s important to be supportive for that reason.” “The experiential nature of learning at Clear Spring School really speaks to me,” Pot said. “It’s project-based and innovative. You’re not limited. The students are so engaged.” The event is for ages 21 and up. Tickets cost $30 for two people or $50 for one, with a drink ticket for white or red wine included.
