Rooftop rescue

Eureka Springs firefighters rescued an unidentified man from the roof of Walden Plaza on Passion Play Road Wednesday morning in Eureka Springs. The man was helping replace the roof on the one-story building when he stopped on a weak spot and partially fell through, injuring his lower leg. According to a report from the Eureka Springs Fire Department, Capt. Ray Birchfield, a volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician, was there when the incident occurred. Two ambulances and a ladder truck responded to the scene. An on-site hydraulic lift was used to raise paramedics and equipment to the roof. The victim and rescue team were lifted down to the waiting ambulance’s back door. The victim was transported to Eureka Springs Hospital.

HuDost returns to Heart of Many Ways for Valentine’s Day concert By Alana Cook

Citizen.editor.eureka@gmail.com

Moksha Sommer has one of those rare voices that reaches in, grabs your heart and tugs at it – hard. Her sound is soft, yet powerful, and though song lyrics are composed from Middle Eastern languages, the heart understands. Love doesn’t need to be translated. Together, Sommer and Jemal Wade Hines are HuDost, a duo whose instrumentation includes vocals, harmonium, an electric Indian auto harp, guitars, Bazouki, Dulcinet, percussion and a slew of sonic ambient effects. Their music is a rich, eclectic blending of pop and rock with traditional Sufi, Bulgarian, Croatian, Macedonian and Balkan folk music. In a soft-spoken, compassionate voice, Sommer talks about the duo’s latest album, ‘Sufi Kirtan,’ where her harp plays to the tune of her melodic chants, echoing a soft, Sufi-inspired sound. “One piece called universal worship gives equal homage to all faiths and is inspired by the idea of created education through sound,” she said. “It’s meant for a wider audience and speaks to how powerful and beautifully sacred music can be. There is a lot of unnecessary fear in our culture about different religions.” The duo also cut a collaborative record with Steve Kilbey of the Australian band, The Church, featuring special guest Jon Anderson of YES. Sommer said her inspiration comes from “a vast array of things.” “I begin writing songs when I go for walks in nature. There is something about moving my body to experience the beauty of what happens outside,” she said. “It’s about creating a space for those things to be able to come out.” Sommer and Hines met in 2000 at a Rumi Festival in North Carolina and their working relationship blossomed into love. She completed her undergraduate degree in 2006 and they have been touring ever since. “I do all the writing and create music together,” Sommer said. “We coined the term neo folk world rock to describe what we

do.” Sommer said one of her most memorable moments on the road was last year’s show with Phillip Glass but she and Hines are taking time to help with the One Campaign. “We are the congressional district leaders for the One Campaign in our part of Kentucky. The campaign’s aim is to fight extreme poverty wherever it might occur,” she said. “A lot is being done in Africa, especially to help women who are most effected because they aren’t getting a proper education.” Sommer’s advice to aspiring young musicians who want to make a difference in the world is to have persistence, dedication and passion. “There are a lot of practical reasons to

approach the work through a commercial angle but someone with a strong heart can go forward with the music and do wonderful things,” she said. She’s from Montreal and has lived in Kentucky for a year and a half. HuDost ‘s Valentine’s Day concert will be at 2 p.m. at the Heart of Many Ways at 68 West Mountain Street. Advance tickets are $15 at http://hudostheart.brownpapertickets.com/. Tickets are $20 at the door and student tickets are $7.50. Children are free with an adult.

In his State of the City address Monday night, Mayor Butch Berry praised residents and city leaders for pulling together on major issues during his first year in office but said that the city can’t continue to rely 100 percent on tourism to support its economy. Aldermen approved the city’s 2016 budget — which Berry said includes deep cuts to everything but staffing — during Monday night’s city council meeting. Berry spoke candidly about the city’s finances, saying the city “can’t sustain its current level of cash flow” and needs to “keep focused on the fiscal management system in place” to avoid falling further into debt. “One of our main problems is infrastructure. We have a lot of work to do,” he said. Berry’s address was tempered with optimistic, yet realistic examples of the city’s accomplishments last year and his plans for the coming year that include critical infrastructure improvements, new development projects and a magnet plan for schools. Berry said he will present aldermen

next month with a 10-year master plan that will outline “several million dollars” worth of infrastructure projects and improvements that he hopes will be funded by community development block grants. “We need another method for funding water and sewer improvements other than refinancing loans or ADEQ will step in and tell us how to do things and we don’t want that,” he said. “We are still on the radar with the people in Little Rock and we are trying to make progress on sewer but we will need a lot more energy and money ... lines need to be replaced.” Berry said the city had more than 70 inches of rain last year, which contrib-

uted to lingering problems at the city’s wastewater treatment plant. He also challenged Planning & Zoning to use his plan as a guide to determine locations for new water and sewer lines in areas of the city that do not have water and sewer services, including those areas to the east of the city that he said could be prime for new development and bring the city much-needed sales tax revenue. Berry said he has spoken with the Northwest Arkansas Economic Development District about getting funding to repair Black Bass dam and took representatives from U.S. Rep. Steve Womack’s office to “show them the condition of the dam because it’s getting worse.” In other business, aldermen: • Voted unanimously to pass Ordinance 2235 on its third reading, giving the Eureka Springs Police Department the authority to collect court fines. • Voted unanimously to pass Ordinance 2236 on its first reading. The law clarifies the city’s code and “requires a business license for all new home occupations involving access by the general public.” Steve Beacham, a member of the city’s planning commission, said the revision “cleans up city code” to make it easier for people to have home-based businesses such as computer services to operate in a “reasonable, contained manner.” The code also says that “one unanimated, non-illuminated identification sign up to two square feet may be displayed flat against the wall or door of the residence.” The code applies to Victorian, contemporary and multi-family residential buildings. • Voted unanimously to pass Ordinance 2237 on its first reading. The proposed ordinance requires “all home occupations of a building contractor businesses in zones R-1 to R-3 to screen from public view all business and contractor-related materials.” The law dovetails the city’s clean city ordinance, which passed in 2014.

ES school board approves playground construction bid By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

Eureka Springs Elementary School students are one step closer to having a renovated playground. The Eureka Springs School board on Tuesday night approved a $48,000 bid from Rockin W Excavating to kick off the playground construction. Superintendent Bryan Pruitt explained that the bid includes building a sidewalk and a storm drainage system as well as bringing in topsoil and sod. The board also received a bid from Larry Davis Construction for $72,000. When asked if the disparity between the two bids worried him, board member Al Larson said he wasn’t concerned. “It does make me wonder but it’s such a simple thing. It’s basically excavation and some drainage. If it were any more complicated than that, I’d say yes,” Larson said. One reason for the difference between the bids, board president Chris McClung noted, could be that Rockin W Excavating is located in Berryville and has more equipment on hand. “The other one will have to bring in equipment from Harrison,” McClung said. Pruitt said this is the first major step on the project. Once the excavation is complete, he said the district plans to build a retaining wall around the front and sides of the playground. “We’ll do that to save some money,” Pruitt said. Also on Tuesday, the board approved a bid from Williams Auction Company to auction items on the old high school property. The board is leasing the property to the Eureka Springs Highlander Community Center Foundation but Pruitt said the district still owns various items left on the property such as desks, chairs and doors. “There’s an opportunity for us to make a small amount of money on the old stuff left,” Pruitt said. He recommended the board approve

Williams Auction Company, he continued, because the company has the most reach out of those that submitted bids. “I felt like he has a larger advertisement and a bigger following and will probably bring in a better crowd for the school district,” Pruitt said. The board approved the district’s master facilities plan, which Pruitt said has few changes from last year’s. “We have to submit this each year. The state needs to know what we’re doing, how we’re doing it and why we’re doing it,” Pruitt said. High school counselor Rachal Hyatt presented the results from last year’s Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) test. The district, Hyatt said, didn’t perform as well on the test as it has on other tests in the past. She attributed this to the newness of the test. “The students were tested in a different manner than they were ever tested before. These results were anticipated,” Hyatt said. Another reason the district didn’t perform that well, she noted, was the length of the test. “Students tested for an average of 10 hours. That’s a long time to test,” Hyatt said, adding that the scores are on average with the state and surrounding schools. Hyatt expressed concern that the district will have a tough time tracking progress because of the rapid test turnover in past years. Last year was the first year for the PARCC, she said, and the state will be using ACT Aspire this year. “It’s going to be difficult comparing the Benchmark from one year to the PARCC this year to ACT Aspire. I think it’s going to give us a little trouble,” Hyatt said. Though the test results weren’t as high as in the past, middle school principal Cindy Holt said they aren’t indicative of the growth students experienced last year. Holt described how difficult it was for students to take a new test with little See Bid, page 15

The Berryville Sax Quartet performs during last year’s We’ve Got Talent Concert. This year’s concert is scheduled for Sunday, March 13, at The Aud.

We’ve Got Talent concert features local students By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

Jim Swiggart wants to help local students realize their musical potential. A big way to do that, he said, is through Carroll County Music Group’s annual We’ve Got Talent concert. This year, the concert will take place on Sunday, March 13, at The Aud in Eureka Springs. The University of Arkansas Trombone Choir will open the show at 2:30 p.m. and local students will begin performing at 3 p.m. Swiggart described the show as a revolving door, with various musical piece being performed rapidly and consecutively. “The audience will see a tremendous variety of music,” Swiggart said. The concert is Carroll County Music Group’s major fundraiser; all proceeds from the event, Swiggart explained, help send local students to summer music camps. Individual tickets cost $10 for adults and $5 for children, and more larger financial contributions are available. The contributions are: $500 for 20 comp tickets, $300 for 14 comp tickets, $200 for 10 comp tickets, $100 for six comp tickets and $20 for two comp tickets. This year, Swiggart said he hopes to raise enough money at the concert to send 100 kids to summer camp. “The kids who go to camp come back

and rub off on others. That’s what happens to kids,” Swiggart said. The scholarships, he noted, rarely cover everything. Swiggart said this is intentional, saying he wants to motivate students to raise some money themselves. “We pay half for all the kids. That’s important because it’s like, ‘OK, now I’ve got a little something. Let’s find a way to come up with the rest of it,’” Swiggart said. Most of the students performing in the concert, he continued, are advanced. Swiggart said he hopes young musicians who attend the concert will feel inspired by watching other musicians their age perform, especially students who don’t normally play solos. “This is not the average kid performing. Other kids get motivated because they see something like that on stage,” Swiggart said. One of these advanced students, he noted, is a Eureka Springs student who plays the French horn. Swiggart said that student performed at the concert last year and wants to perform an original piece this year. “When you get a chance to stand on a stage, it excites you. It motivates you,” Swiggart said. This year’s concert will feature See Talent, page 9

OzMoMu at Basin Park Hotel

Pruitt hired as full-time ES superintendent By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

Loyal fans of Friends Of The Family revel in the feel-good sounds at OzMoMu Thursday night and cheer on the Grateful Dead tribute band.

Attendees at the Eureka Springs School Board meeting broke into applause Tuesday night after the board voted to hire Bryan Pruitt at the district’s permanent superintendent. Board president Chris McClung said Pruitt was hired on a three-year contract, noting that the board will vote on details of the contract at its next meeting. Pruitt has served as the district’s interim superintendent since last summer. He expressed excitement over being hired on a permanent basis, saying he has enjoyed his work as interim superintendent immensely. “I’m really happy to be here,” Pruitt said. Part of his excitement, he continued, comes from knowing he can have a positive impact on the district. Pruitt said he’s excited to help solve problems the district is facing. “I think we’ve got lots of things we need to work on and lots of great opportunities for us to expand on. I’ll come back here tomorrow and roll up my shirt sleeves and work,” Pruitt said. His motivation, he noted, has always been his students. “We’re here for the kids. We want our kids to be prepared and successful and go out into the world of work full of confidence,” Pruitt said. He credited the staff for providing a quality education and working to constantly maintain and improve standards. “We had a great team here,” Pruitt

said. The staff members returned Pruitt’s adoration, many attending the meeting to support him. Even more staff members attended last week’s special called meeting, where the board met in executive session to discuss the superintendent options. Meleia Saab, an elementary school teacher, described the way Pruitt interacts with students and faculty. Pruitt, she said, tries to be part of even the small events in the district. “He showed up for our school picture. I think he’s the only superintendent who’s ever done that. That’s a lot. That means a lot,” Saab said. Cindy Holt, principal of the middle school, agreed. “For myself and the other people who’ve worked with him, we’ve been exceedingly pleased,” Holt said. Pruitt’s wife, Eileen Pruitt, said she’s looking forward to moving to Eureka Springs and integrating into the community. “This will be a change of life for us, and we’re very excited about it. It’s going to be a great move for us. I’m thankful and relieved that we’re here,” Eileen Pruitt said. Pruitt concurred. He said he hopes to continue bettering himself as a leader for the district’s staff and students. “I’m just excited I’ve got a chance to lead in a school and be a positive person. I’m working hard to try to set a good example for people as an educator,” Pruitt said.

“There is a very unusual program at Carroll County’s backdoor, and we want people to be there. It’s an afternoon of music, and you know you’re doing something that helps music education,” Swiggart said. For more information on the show or to reserve tickets, call Swiggart at 479981-2659.

Parks holds open house at refurbished storage building By Cindy Worley

Lovely County Citizen

Parks and Recreation Commission staff held an open house Tuesday at their Harmon Park location so citizens could take a peek at the refurbished storage building that will be used to house the city’s Christmas decorations.

Eureka Kids daycare was the former occupant of the storing building but it had fallen into disrepair. Parks officials decided that it would be a good place to store Christmas decorations so in November, city officials allocated $34,000 to help refurbish the building and remove the mold. Pat Lujan, the city’s gardener, said he will

have an easier time getting decorations up next Christmas. “The Christmas decorations were being stored in five different storage units around the city so getting ready for Christmas was quite the task,” he said. “Now all of the decorations can be stored under one roof, in a climate-controlled space. The previous

storage units were not climate-controlled so wreaths and reindeer rotted and lights were ruined from condensation.” Lujan spent at least 12 hours refurbishing each of the large wreaths and changing hundreds of bulbs in the Christmas lights. The shooting star decorations have 150 lights each so it was very time consuming.

AARP to offer free tax help for low and middle-income Eureka Springs residents The AARP will again offer free tax preparation and free electronic filing assistance through their Tax-Aide program at the Holiday Island Presbyterian Church on Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. beginning Feb. 4 and ending April 7 and at the Loaves and Fishes Food Bank in Berryville on Tues-

days beginning February 2 and ending April 4 through appointment at 870-350-2939. Taxpayers of low- and middle-income are eligible, of any age, with special attention paid to those 60 years and older. The program is sponsored by the IRS and AARP. There are 10 counselors and three client

facilitators this year. All counselors have passed three levels of testing. All of tax information is strictly confidential. Taxpayers are required to bring their prior year’s tax return and all documents needed to complete their current year return. Rental property and some Schedule C businesses

are out of scope for the program. The full list of in- and out-of-scope items will be available at each site. For questions please contact Barb Kuhn, Holiday Island site coordinator at 847-4317867 or Jeanne Thompson, Berryville site coordinator at 870-350-2939.

The Natural Way Natural remedies to ward off cold season

lu season is usually during the months of January, February and March. As of this writing we have had a very warm yet wet Jim Fain winter. Today is the first day of biting cold but it is beautiful outdoors. Colds have been present but not like other years so far and we have not seen a case of the flu, yet. I’m hoping this year will continue to be mild. Just incase here is a revamp of how to naturally care for colds and especially flu. First, I personally take 6,000 iu/day of vitamin D. I find this is good to do to keep respiratory diseases at bay. When colds start to show up, flu won’t be far away so here is a primer on natural care for these predictable nasties. First, at the first symptom of cold or flu go heavy on Monolaurin and you may stop it in its tracks so buy a bottle in advance and have it on hand. Otherwise, did you know tropical red Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) tea, traditionally used to ease indigestion, also relieves colds and respiratory trouble? Hibiscus is also a natural source of Vitamin C. This can be added to my favorites for both ailments, Elder tea straight (colds) or blended with Peppermint (flu) and is very effective at stopping or preventing them. Cheap, too! I like brewing the tea in large amounts, as drinking more is the way to go. How I brew leaves, flowers and herbs: Make as an infusion. Pour one cup boiling water over one to one and one-half teaspoon of the tea. Steep 10 to 12 minutes. Strain or use a very clean or dedicated Mr. Coffee type maker and place an ounce of herb in the basket to one full carafe of water. Try a second batch with the same herb. Aromatic herbs or essential oils can ease stuffy noses and chest congestion. A fully natural approach would start early with a good strong immune booster like an immune system support based upon mushroom extracts. I’d go high value if the going gets rough. I’d then take large amounts of Monolaurin and maybe combine it with grapefruit seed extract. I’d also drink large amounts of Elder tea mixed with peppermint if I got a fever every day. I’d stay away from crowds, wash my hands a great deal, keep tissue paper around to catch sneezes and use herbal disinfectant on door handles, keyboards and telephones. Soap and water is one of the best germ killers with a disinfectant. A good night’s sleep, healthy diet, extra vitamin C and a good multiple vitamin goes a long way.

Wisecrack Zodiac Aries: No matter where you go, there you are. Unless your GPS needs updating, in which case you’re located two miles away near a creek or a stoplight. Recalculate and go find yourself. Taurus: The brightest star can’t compare with the shining example you’ve become. Breaking open a thousand glow sticks and painting yourself was artistic, but getting to sleep will be a challenge for a while. Gemini: There’s nothing but blue sky ahead of you, which is unsettling because you’re sure you were driving a car just a few minutes ago. Looks like you’ve discovered the Weasleys’ magic ride; remember to stay securely fastened until you land. Cancer: All’s fair in love and war, but the PTA is a free-for-all. No one would blame you if you snuck laxatives in Ms. Perfect’s brownie mix for the big bake sale. In fact, it would clear the air in more ways than one. Leo: You can take advice from a rabbit or a turtle this week, but the big question is: when did you start hearing animal voices in your head? Listen to the concerned wombat and get your medication levels checked. Virgo: Everyone needs a little help now and again. You just didn’t expect it from such an unlikely source.
