Ale House now first brew pub in Carroll County By Alana Cook

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

After seven months of waiting to receive its license to brew from the federal government, Eureka’s new Ale House is now the first brew pub and beer garden in Carroll County. The pub, nestled on the highway just a half mile from Thorncrown Chapel, has a one-half acre beer garden and bocce court where during warmer months, patrons can bring a blanket and hang out or linger in the sun while tossing back a cold, freshly brewed Kolsch or American Amber and listening to live music. Owners Tara Puzey, a gemologist, and Conn Hutzell, a former child advocate for the state of Arkansas, moved to Eureka a year and a half ago after visiting several times. They found there were no brew pubs so they decided to open one. Hutzell and Puzy will begin brewing their inaugural batch of beer this week, though it could be a week before it’s ready to serve. “We plan to brew Kolch first, then after, we will go for an amber or porter,” Hutzell said. “After that, all bets are off.” Hutzell said they plan to tinker with different recipes and are even trying out the

new trend of mixing different liquors with beer like Seagram’s apple and a good ‘ol Southern Blonde. Brewing Process Hutzell said he has been brewing for as long as he can remember. With casual flair, he leans against the copper bar top and describes their brewing process. “I don’t want to bore you with the details, but it’s like a science. There’s even a beer periodic table of elements,” he said. After brewing, the beer ferments anywhere from six to 10 days, depending on the type of beer. “Yeast needs time to change starches into sugars and then after that, it goes into a barrel and sits for another 10 days,” he said. Hutzell emphasizes the importance of keeping the brewing room at 70 degrees to prevent the yeast from dying because beer gets warm as it ferments. “It’s like they did in Germany — it’s why they created beer gardens,” he said while recalling how breweries dug cellars in treelined river banks and covered them with gravel to keep them cool. Hutzell said when he got a profile of the local water he found that it is best suited for brewing lite ambers and blondes. But, he

said Carroll-Boone Water District’s plans to add fluoride to the water will be problematic because he will have to spend more money to filter out the fluoride.

City finance director explains water bill increases By Alana Cook

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Some residents and business owners in Eureka could see increases in their water bills because the city is replacing about 1,800 water meters, many of which are 40 years old. Lonnie Clark, city finance director, said that although in some cases the increase so far has been “fairly substantial,” the city and residents will benefit in the long run. Clark said that because the meters were so old, many were not reading accurately and many people and businesses were not being billed for their actual usage. The city did not notify citizens and business owners of the potential increase but many business owners should have been aware when the city turned their water on and off while doing the upgrades, Clark said.

The city purchases all its water from Carroll Boone Water District. Clark said after researching, he realized that the city was not billing customers for as much water as it was purchasing, though he acknowledges there is an average loss in any city. “We looked at usage of certain accounts and found that they didn’t look reasonable,” Clark said. Clark said that he is unaware of anyone having their water being shut off because of large bills and late fees. “Some were a little shocked,” he said. “The average life of a meter is eight to 12 years and some meters in Eureka are up to 40 years old,” Clark said. “When they wear down, the meter slows down and records a lesser amount of water than what’s going through the meter. When that happens, there might have been 10 gallons but it only

showed that seven gallons went through.” Mayor Butch Berry said at Monday night’s city council meeting that city revenue has almost doubled this month over a year ago since about 300 of the estimated 1,800 meters have been replaced in the last few months. Berry said the meters are a newer grade that will allow the city to better detect leaks, and give citizens a chance to tell there is a problem before they receive a large bill. Alderman David Mitchell said the meter project is “one of the most significant projects the city has undertaken in a long time.” Clark said the meter project had been somewhat slow until last week because the manufacturer was unable to supply the city “with any substantial quantity of meters up until a few days ago.”

Clark said the city Public Works Department is working to repair all known leaks and is concentrating on getting the meters “installed as quickly as possible.” Though some meters are fairly easy to install, some take time and the city is focusing on replacing the top 100 commercial meters first, he said. The city replaced about six meters before passing an ordinance last October. “When it was determined to be such a significant problem, the council authorized the money to purchase meters from reserves,” Clark said. “Before that, the city replaced about six meters, which came out of operating revenue.” The city considering increasing water rates last year but instead chose to repair and replace the meters as part of ongoing efforts to improve the city’s infrastructure.

Residents express concerns about Butler Hollow project at open house By David F. Dempsey Lovely County Citizen

CASSVILLE, MO. — People from Missouri and Carroll County attended an open house Tuesday in Cassville, Mo. led by decision-makers and planners for the proposed cutting, burning and restoration project known as the Butler Hollow Project. The proposal calls for the cutting and burning of approximately 18,000 acres in the 300,000-acre Ava Cassville Willow Springs District of the Mark Twain National Forest in southwest Missouri. According to Joe Koloski, a U.S. Forest Service district manager, the project will not occur all at once. Koloski is tasked with approving the project after reviewing public comments and conducting an environmental assessment. The 18,000 acres are divided into eight sections, each about 2,200 acres. The plan is to cut and burn one to two sections a year, returning to cut each section again in three to five years. “The goal is to restore oak woodlands and glades to their original conditions,” Koloski said. He anticipates — but does not guarantee — he will make a final decision on whether to move forward with the project in late spring or early summer. When told that people in Carroll County were concerned about ash and any byproducts from the project that would be carried downstream by Butler Creek to its confluence with the White River and Table Rock Lake near the town of Beaver, Koloski responded saying that is the purpose of the environmental assessment. He added, “We are very conscientious about watershed health.” Other open house attendees expressed concern that smoke from the burning would create health risks. Reggie Bray, a fire zone management forest service officer, said the project would be a low-impact action but not a no-impact action, acknowledging that

there would be some smoke during burns. Bray that his personnel studied the winds and weather to find the best times for burning. Light south or southwest winds are best. Michael Shah from Carroll County attended the open house. Shah has been a very active participant in Save the Ozarks’ successful campaign to stop Southwestern Electric Power Company’s earlier plans to build a 345-kilovolt power line across 50 miles of Carroll County. After talking with one forest service officer, Shah explained his reasons for making the 40-mile drive to Cassville. “I just want to see what they are talking about, and to see what other information is available,” he said. Shah added that he thought it was important to get information from both sides of the issue and not let emotions guide decisions. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s public comments package was sent to area residents, though some said it was

sent out too late, causing the public comments period to be extended until Feb. 6. The package states that all tree harvesting would be done for restorative thinning. It also says that removed hardwood 11 inches or more in diameter and cedars 6 inches or more in diameter would be commercially harvested. Hardwood stumps would be treated with herbicides to prevent sprouting and pine plantations would be reduced by about 50 percent. Before extensive logging in the 1800s, the dominant trees in the area were white oak and post oak. After that the land was used largely for pasturing. Today the dominant trees are eastern red cedar, black oak and red oak. Most of these trees grew since the forest service acquired the lands in the 1930s and 1940s. The overall goal of the project, according to the forest service, is to bring back the trees that were once dominant and to restore glade areas to their pre-settlement conditions.

City Council passes fluoride resolution, Mayor gives State of City address By Alana Cook

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Eureka Springs City Council members unanimously passed a resolution Monday night that asks state health department officials to certify that any additives to the city’s water supply, including fluoride, are safe and lead-free. The resolution includes a letter signed by council members that states: “We ask that the proof be in the form of a letter, both from the supplier and the Carroll-Boone Water Board, showing a complete, independent analysis from reputable laboratories both here and in the country of origin, of the compound, containing all the trace ingredients, a guarantee that the compound is safe for use internally and externally, if added to the water supply, and a guarantee that they will be liable if the compound is proven to be damaging to the health of the

individual consumer. We believe that, if this should not come to pass, we have the legal right to ask for an alternative to this water.” City Attorney Tim Weaver drafted the resolution after council members during the last meeting asked him to review the letter. “This letter does not establish liability,” Weaver said. “To place liability is beyond the scope of this council but the letter does put [state health officials] on notice that the council is concerned.” Alderwoman Joyce Zeller said she plans to send copies to state Reps. Bryan King and Bob Ballinger, both of whom oppose water fluoridation. In other business: The council passed an ordinance allowing Carroll County residents who live outside the city to serve on the City Advertising and Promotions Commission membership, if they own or operate a tourism-related busi-

ness in the city. Alderman James DeVito moved to table the ordinance but the motion failed. DeVito said he is confused about “the legality of the ordinance,” and referred to a 2003 state attorney general’s opinion that said city advertising and promotions members must live within the city limits. “What’s the haste?” DeVito asked. “There hasn’t been a seat on the A&P for a year. I would like for the CAPC chairman to be present to discuss this.” DeVito said he received an email from former CAPC Director Bob Purvis that questioned county-wide membership. “His email said we can’t do that,” DeVito said. Weaver said that the attorney general’s opinion is an “opinion that is not open to court ruling” and that “we might be giving them the opportunity for the first court chal-

lenge by passing this. “We don’t want to be the first test case, though Eureka has done this before,” Weaver said. Alderman Terry McClung said that since the 2003 opinion, state lawmakers had plenty of time to pass legislation if they disagreed. The ordinance passed by a vote of 4-2, with DeVito and Zeller voting against it. Peggy Duncan of American Legion Auxiliary Unit 36 told the council the Auxiliary is planning a Veterans’ Day memorial parade May 25 that will include the 399th Fort Leonard Wood Army marching band, the First Sergeant of the Army ROTC from the University of Arkansas as the color guard and retired U.S. Army Col. Mike Ross as the grand marshal. Duncan said after the parade, the 399th will have a concert and Ross will lead the See Council, page 8

Help wanted Airport official asks county to restore funding By Scott Loftis

CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com

BERRYVILLE — Carroll County Airport Commission Chairman Morris Pate appealed to the Quorum Court for an increase in funding Monday, and Justices of the Peace indicated they will meet soon to consider the issue. Pate said he and other members of the airport commission have been responsible for day-to-day functions at the airport after JPs did not include funding for employees in their 2015 grant to the airport. JPs slashed their appropriation to the facility from $84,000 in 2014 to $48,000 this year after what they have described as the airport commission’s failure to provide requested financial information. Pate, a former longtime JP who more recently served as mayor of Eureka Springs, said he and other commissioners have been working at the airport since one full-time position and one part-time position were eliminated because of the reduced county appropriation. “I’ve logged probably 80 hours over the last two weeks just answering phones, trying to take care of some business out there,” Pate said. Pate and airport commissioner Sandy Martin presented JPs with a draft of a proposed five-year business plan for the

airport. Pate described the plan as “very got it. “I think some work will go into lookviable,” but he said the airport needs more ing at getting it back to what it needs to money from the county. “We need an increase in our budget,” be,” Swofford continued. “But there was a he said. “… We’re making do with what time when the only thing the airport wanted from this Quorum we’ve got.

We’ve not been getting that. We have not had a consolidated look at what the total airport operations are.” Richie said he was pleased with the proposed business plan, however. “Looking at the business plan, I think this is a great place to start,” he said. “I’m inclined for the budget committee to meet at an early time to start looking at this, within the next week I would suggest.” Pate thanked Richie for his comments. “I want to impress upon y’all: This is not about us and it’s not about y’all; it’s about what that airport is and what it conveys to the community,” Pate said. JP Jack Deaton indicated he would be in favor of a budget committee meeting to consider increasing the airport’s appropriation. But he was critical of the way the facility has been managed in the past. “I was a successful business owner in this county for quite a few years, and if I had run my business like the airport’s been run, I’d have been bankrupt,” he said. “We just got tired of being told ‘shut up, ain’t none of your business …” “You won’t get that from me,” Pate said.

From The Editor

Eureka needs a unified vision

he message of change reverberates throughout the hallowed rooms of city hall, where ghosts of town leaders past keep a careful watch over those now in their positions who are forging forward with a new vision for the city. It is echoed time and again in city council and CAPC meetings, in letters to the editor, in downtown galleries. Eureka, a diamond nestled in the hills of the Ozarks, an eclectic enclave of creative and free thinkers, is Arkansas’ best kept secret. Some are working hard to keep it that way, while others are ready and working hard for change. Eureka and towns like it are the Main Streets that Wall Street left behind. And, that’s not a bad thing. It’s a well-known business philosophy today that to not only survive but to thrive, people must innovate and adapt. There must be a unified vision and message — a mission statement. But for a tourist destination such as Eureka, how much change is necessary? How does the melting pot of Eureka maintain her mystique and still grow? Who is Eureka? Local business owners and city leaders have been brainstorming ideas in a series of economic development meetings over the last few months. One business owner suggested that Eureka needs

to be a healing arts destination where city dwellers can unwind from stressful jobs. Others place their hopes in marketing Eureka as an arts and Alana Cook music destination. Still others cling to Eureka’s heyday and the Passion Play. Though I’ve only been here for a short time, I believe one thing is certain. As diverse as it is, Eureka needs a unified vision and message — one that promotes its diversity while focusing on its uniqueness. I believe that to develop such a message, it takes a willingness to be open to change by letting go a bit and compromising. The city seems to be off to a good start this year. Mayor Berry’s State of the City address in this week’s city council meeting gave firm examples. But, while city leaders promote the power of positive change, I hope they and local business owners look within to pause and consider carefully that exactly they want Eureka to be. Because it is this message that will keep people coming back hungry for more.

memorial in Basin Park. “The push is to honor World War II and Korean War veterans and behind them will be Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq vets,” she said. Council members approved Steve Beacham’s appointment to a position on the the city planning and zoning board. Mayor Butch Berry gave his State of the City address. He said the city met several of its goals last year and is moving forward on several projects and new developments including: Replacing about 1,800 residential and commercial water meters by this summer, 300 of which have already been replaced Repairing “a few streets” and continuing with water and sewer improvements New commercial construction and new incoming businesses this year Continued enforcement of the clean city ordinance Last year, the city increased salaries at the Eureka Springs Fire and EMS Department so firefighters do not move to other cities Getting a new trolley later this year and new bike racks as the result of $600,000 in federal matching grants Trolley rates will stay the same this year and the city will be adding new routes

Implementing paperless billing in the city finance department Parks and Recreation received more than $150,000 in grants last year for trails and the Lake Leatherwood Pavilion The mayor plans to bring before city council this year a means for private residents to insure water and sewer lines The Mayor’s Task Force on Economic Development will “find ways to attract new businesses, and second-leg economies such as drawing art and culinary educators to the area Encouraged people to apply for vacancies on the city planning and Historic District Commission Berry also updated the council on the condition of the Auditorium parking lot. “We went down there last week and found the tunnel completely failed,” he said. “The tunnel failed on the parking lot side of the Aud and it extends up to 15 feet toward the courthouse.” Berry said that though the failure is in one spot, it could cause the courthouse to flood so he contacted Carroll County Justice of the Peace Lamont Richie to see if the county Quorum Court could assist with repair costs, which he said could range from $60,000 to $200,000 depending on whether the state gets involved. The next regular city council meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 9, at city hall.

‘Big Dogs’ needed for shelter project Attention Big Dogs (You know who you are)! Brashears Furniture and Arvest Bank are challenging local businesses and individuals to sit up and be counted as Big Dogs by supporting Good Shepherd Humane Society’s takeover of the Berryville Animal Control facility. Good Shepherd is in the final days of its campaign to raise money to fund this major expansion and operate the facility as a no-kill rescue. Brashears and Arvest have each donated $500 to the cause and are also offering to match the next two $500 donations from local businesses or individuals. All

local Big Dogs are invited to join the challenge by making matching tax-deducible contributions. In cooperation with the City of Berryville, Good Shepherd wants to expand its mission by continuing the no-kill policy and out-of-state adoption program of Go East, Young Dog. GEYD has operated the animal control facility the past three years and spay/neutered and adopted 600 dogs, most from the Berryville community. GEYD is ceasing operations this week. New funding and ongoing communi-

ty support are required to sustain Good Shepherd’s major new commitment. Big Dogs recognize the important contribution such organizations make to quality of life and the community’s reputation. By humanely dealing with our pet overpopulation problem, they make our neighborhoods safer and more pleasant, and the innocent lives they save bring untold joy to thousands of adoptive families. And yes, Big Dogs, there is a bone here. Those who meet the challenge will be publicly recognized for their humanity, civic-mindedness and all-round

Members of the Blacksmith Organization of Arkansas work on an experimental bloomery furnace at the Eureka Springs School of the Arts.

Blacksmiths build bloomery furnace at E.S.S.A workshop In a rare event, members of the Blacksmith Organization of Arkansas met at Eureka Springs School of the Arts last week and built an experimental bloomery furnace to smelt iron. This type of furnace is one of the earliest types used to smelt steel from iron ore. Members of the Blacksmith Organization of Arkansas wanted to experiment with Arkansas-mined ore that blacksmiths collected themselves. Peggy Kjelgaard, Director of E.S.S.A., agreed to share the school grounds at no charge, giving the blacksmiths an opportunity to experiment with the origins of the iron they loved to work while reaching out to others to share their passion. January 21 brought the beginning of a 4-day workshop, with the blacksmiths mixing clay cob used to construct the furnace. On day two, the cob was made into bricks, which were formed around a wooden core, which was later burned out to cure the cob. On the third day while the cob

was curing, Kjelgaard and staff members Becky Newhart and Susan Douglass got one-on-one blacksmithing instruction from Bob Patrick, Master Blacksmith, and other blacksmiths in the group. On the final day, the blacksmiths loaded the furnace with small amounts of coal and iron ore, waiting short periods in between each load. They wanted to maintain temperatures needed to extract the iron, and used a tuyere, which is a nozzle or pipe through which air is blown into a furnace or hearth, to get enough air to for combustion. They also had a sight glass, to check the color of the flame, which indicates about how hot the fire is getting. Late into the night, they pulled the bloom, or iron, from the furnace. The bloom, looking vaguely like a sponge, required more heat and pounding, but the experiment was complete. E.S.S.A. was voted by the blacksmiths to be an honorary lifetime member of the B.O.A., and all involved said they look forward to the next smelt.

TCWR interns feed hungry big cats. Their animals eat around 1,000 pounds of raw meat per day.

Cattle donations important resource for Turpentine Creek

More than 100 lions, tigers, cougars, and other big cats at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge consume about 1,000 pounds of raw meat daily. To keep up with the appetite of these voracious carnivores, TCWR is asking farmers and cattle owners to donate cattle they have just lost or about to lose. “It happens quite a bit,” TCWR staffer Victor Smith, who handles transportation of donated beef, said. “A cow dies birthing, or breaks a leg, and unfortunately has to be put down. When that happens, the owner has to do something with the carcass. If it’s within about a 30-mile radius, we’re happy to come pick it up. It sure helps us out,” he said. Tysons Foods and a other local freezer plants come through for TCWR and provide the meat at little to no cost. But, TCWR said it is always looking for other sources of food for the animals since supplies can sometimes diminish. “It is important the donated beef not

come from cattle that have been treated recently with antibiotics or that have been sick, both of which issues can cause health problems for the big cats,” Scott Smith, TCWR’s vice president said. For a similar reason, TCWR unfortunately cannot accept venison unless it has been skinned and butchered because there are ticks and problems with deer, according to veterinarians, and horse meat also poses a problem, Smith said. “It’s tragic when someone loses an animal they love, but again, we have to be worried about whatever medications may have gone into trying to restore the animal’s health, medications that could adversely affect our big cat population. So we have to say thanks anyway,” he said. TCWR also welcomes frozen meat that’s been culled from people’s freezers. For anyone interested in participating in this type of donation, please call Turpentine Creek at 479-253-5841.

Sunday Night at the Movies: Classic film series seeks more fans

By Jennifer Jackson “Rebel without a Cause,” “East of Eden, “Giant.” In February, Eureka Classic Movies features the only three movies that James Dean, the iconic ‘50s actor, ever made. In March, it’s Tennessee Williams’ adaptations, followed by musicals in April, screen sirens in May, and Woody Allen in June. But if more cinema fans don’t show up, Eureka Classic Movies will be gone with the wind. “We’re going to do it through June,” Enid Swartz said. “If we don’t get more support, we won’t do it.” Swartz and John Speed are two of the instigators of Eureka Classic Movies, a grass-roots effort to bring the big-screen movie experience to Eureka’s classic Auditorium. For Speed, owner of Hidden Springs B&B on Hillside, the series is an answer to a common question innkeepers face: What is there is to do in town at night if you aren’t into the bar scene? A discussion with Swartz, an artist and author, about how Eureka’s historic auditorium is underused led to the idea of organizing a classic movies series there. It was through the cooperation of the City Advertising and Promotion Commission, which manages the Auditorium, and especially Rick Bright, that the idea became a reality, they said. “He was instrumental in making this happen,” Speed said. The series got off to a good start last spring with the first movie, “Mary Poppins,” drawing an audience of 55. A showing of “Gone with the Wind” drew an attendance of 60. But for other films, the audience dropped to 20, 15 and 13, Swartz said, making it hard to justify the effort of the handful of volunteers who put it on. “We’re completely non-profit,” Swartz said of ECM. Swartz, past president of ECM, said the organizing committee chooses the films, which are ordered through a company that specializes in classic movies for community showings. This year, she is the sponsorship chairman, recruiting sponsors for

each movie showing, who foot the $125 licensing cost. A copy of the film in DVD form costs $5. Ticket sales, $5 adults for adults, children 16 and under free, go to the Auditorium/CAPC to cover costs. After the film is viewed, the DVD is donated to the library, Swartz said. ECM was charging $3 for adults, but have raised the ticket price. That children get in free makes it an affordable night out for families, Swartz said. While people from outlying areas have expressed concerns about parking, Swatz said people need to know that city parking meter enforcement ends at 6 p.m. The movies start at 7 p.m., with the door opened at 6:30 p.m. Concessions include beer, wine and popcorn, which can be taken into the theater. Speed, this year’s ECM president, said Sunday nights were chosen to prevent conflict with music festival concerts. ECM showed two Hitchcock thrillers in January. February features the three movies by James Dean, who was born on Feb. 8, 1931. Sept. 2015 marks the 60th anniversary of his death in a car crash at the age of 24. The James Dean movies will be shown on Feb. 1, Feb. 8 and Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. at the Auditorium. March’s theme is “Remembering Tennessee Williams,” with two works adapted for the silver screen, “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” on March 15 and “A Streetcar Named Desire” on March 29. April brings “Fiddler on the Roof” on April 12 and “Oliver!” on April 26. A tribute to screen sirens Joan Crawford and Bette Davis airs in May with “Mildred Pierce” on May 3 and “Jezebel” May 24. Woody Allen’s “Annie Hall” will be screened on June 14 and “Stardust Memories” on June 28. For more information, go to the Eureka Classic Movies Facebook page. The 2015 ECM sponsors are Alpine Liquors, Arvest Bank, Community First Bank, Fresh Harvest, Granny’s Place, Hart’s Grocery, Lady Bug Emporium, Mud Street Cafe, Nibbles Eatery and the Spice Boat.

The Natural Way Hearty foods for winter

his is the time of the year for hearty foods. Acorn, ButterJim Fain nut, Hubbard and Spaghetti squash is as plentiful and cheap as are root veggies such as parsnips, potatoes and carrots. Storing them in a cool yet dry area at home will keep them fresh for a long time. Preparing them for the table is easy and the finished product is not only tasty but also chock full of vitamins and minerals. Acorn and Butternut are just a little higher in nutrition than some of the other varieties of squash but all are a treasure trove. I’m a strong advocate of choosing foods that match the season but making simple yet scrumptious soup out of any veggie goes great with heavier food and cold days. This soup is fresh not canned and amazingly easy to make. Try using two crowns of broccoli per serving along with 10 ounces of liquid, which can be water or chicken broth, and cook at a low heat until soft. Pour the contents into a blender and slowly pulse then liquefy. Correct the seasoning with a little salt or fresh ground pepper. If you want to get a little fancy add a couple of tablespoons of butter and a splash of cream. Getting really fancy would be to run the blended mash through a strainer to refine the consistency. I usually don’t do that as I find it unnecessary for flavor and texture. Unstrained, you get a heartier version and the benefit of the whole veggie. Try this recipe with all sorts of different veggies like squash both hard or soft, cauliflower and potatoes. If you have grilled your peppers from summer or soft squash, yellow or zucchini, before cooking in the broth it adds a delicious flavor. To notch up a little more, reserve a small amount of the veggie from the stock pot before blending. Chop and add back when ladling to the serving bowl. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top. Staying in season, local to your area is a good thing to do. Local foods are fresher and reflect what we have to deal with here in our little part of heaven. Remember, taking Vitamin D and a quality probiotic daily is scientifically supported to make winter a healthier season.

Who do you think should be Citizen of the Week? Send us your nominations

citizen.editor.eureka@gmail.com

Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: Putting your best foot forward isn’t an option with those toenails. Try sticking in your best elbow or kneecap. The other person will be too confused to realize how strange you truly are. TAURUS: If you can’t make something right, you can at least make it sparkle. A few glitter bombs around the office will distract your boss from your latest screw-up, just make sure no one knows you did it. GEMINI: There’s a difficult task in front of you, but you’re too intimidated to tackle it head on. Use a different approach; sneak up on it and tickle it until it pees. That levels any playing field. CANCER: Home is where the heart is and right now your heart is following around that hottie in the tight jeans. Pull up an easy chair and ask them what kind of cable TV package they like, because you’re in for the night. LEO: Your body is giving you a sign, so pay attention to the one declaring “Caution” and slow down. Otherwise, you’ll end up by Falling Rock, which could mean a concussion or a hilarious crotch hit worthy of YouTube. VIRGO: Burning the candle at both ends is fine for a while, but try more than that and you’re just a wax firestarter. Get the pine cone out of your butt and tell your co-workers to quit warming their feet over your meltdown. LIBRA: You’ll hit the jackpot on Tuesday, but the next day you’ll have a mean-tempered leprechaun wanting his gold back. Go ahead and marry him; you’ll keep the cash in the family and learn he’s hilarious when he’s drunk. SCORPIO: Everyone hides a few secrets, but you could do better than just duct taping them to the screen door. Hide them where no one in your house will look, like the dishwasher or a bag of broccoli

in the fridge. SAGITTARIUS: Taking the low road finally pays off when there’s a 12-vehicle morality pileup on the high road. Wave as you pass by and take a few photos as they try to untangle their high horses. CAPRICORN: All’s fair in love and war, but when it comes to the office coffeemaker, there are rules. Don’t pee in someone’s French roast unless you want a yogurt cup full of farts. AQUARIUS: It took you most

Crossword Puzzle

Beth Bartlett

of your life, but you have finally found your tribe. Wrap yourself in your freak flag and throw down your best dance moves around the campfire, because these people get you. PISCES: You know all the ins and outs, so why not make a few bucks by showing other people a few shortcuts? A lifetime of hard knocks adds up to a rather awesome map of the universe.

Brew Pub

Much like New England’s Green Dragon Tavern where the Sons of Liberty met and where revolutionaries planned the Boston Tea Party while kicking back a few cold ones, Hutzell said he wants Eurekans to make the Ale House a gathering place for

change and great conversation. “Revolutions started in places like this,” he said. “We can start with a fluoride revolution right here.” The Ale House is open year-round and features a menu of pub classics like burgers

and fish and chips, sourced largely from local vendors. For more information and hours, visit www.eurekaspringsalehouse.com or https:// www.facebook.com/alehouse, call them at 479-363-6039, or just stop in to check it out

People Helping People

Bird of prey

Submitted Photo

Best Western Inn of the Ozarks conducted its third annual food drive, “People helping People” for Flint Street Fellowship last November and December. They collected 2,061 cans of food from guests who got a 15% room rate reduction in exchange for three cans of food. Some guests were much more generous and others also helped with food collection making this year’s donation a huge success. Randy Wolfenbarger, Bill Henderson and Wes Taylor delivered the trailer full of food. The boxes shown in the picture are less than half of the delivery. Flint Street is extremely grateful for the hard work of Inn of the Ozarks to accomplish such a donation to help those in need.
