Council approves $40,000 settlement in civil suit By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The city of Eureka Springs has reached a $40,000 settlement in a civil lawsuit after the owner of a round house on Main Street said a nearby shed decreased the property value. On Monday night, the Eureka Springs City Council heard from attorney Tom Kleklack about the settlement. Kleklack described the terms of the settlement, saying the city must pay fellow defendants Josh Cook and Becky Gillette $40,000. The shed must be removed down to the subspace within 120 days, Kleklack said, requiring Cook and Gillette to apply for a permit to do so. “All the claims against everyone will be dismissed,” Kleklack said. “No fault will be admitted to the owner of the shed. Any other building … on that property will have to comply with HDC guidelines and planning commission and building codes.” Alderman Bob Thomas moved to approve the settlement and authorize Mayor Butch Berry to execute any documents needed to complete the process. The motion passed 4-2, with Thomas,Terry McClung, Susan Harman and Harry Meyer voting yes and Melissa Greene and Mickey Schneider voting no. The council moved on to discuss the proposed 2019 budget. Thomas asked finance director Lonnie Clark if the budget has changed since the council saw it last, and Clark said he added $60,000 in revenue to provide Eureka Springs School District with a school resource
officer. Clark said he initially forgot to budget the revenue because it’s the first year the city has had such an arrangement with the school district. “It just was one of those things. It’s the first year we’ve had it,” Clark said. Clark said he also added $10,000 to pay for costs associated with economic development, and Berry said it’s important to have that in the budget. “Economic development needs to have money for internet, advertising and also publication,” Berry said. “I think we need to have an area to see where the money is being spent.” Thomas said he’d like to add another $50,000 expense to the budget to help remodel The Auditorium for city meetings and events. “Almost a year ago, this council voted to remodel the downstairs to make it accessible for meetings,” Thomas said. “I’ve been going to Fayetteville and I’ve seen whole buildings built in that year. People have been telling me, ‘This is not going to happen. This is not going to happen.’ “ He continued, “I don’t know why it can’t happen. I’d like to add $50,000 to this year’s budget to begin remodeling in the downstairs of the Auditorium.” Thomas moved to approve the budget with those three changes, and the council unanimously agreed to do so. The council heard from city attorney Tim Weaver about last-minute changes to a proposed ordinance for collection of expenditures for cleanup. Weaver said
the council needed to remove two citations to Title 18 in the proposed ordinance. “What’s going on here is we used an ordinance to create this from another municipality in the state,” Weaver said, “and when we go back and check these citations, there’s been some change, apparently, to the state code. Liens are no longer in that title.” The council voted 5-1 to approve the ordinance on a third and final reading with the changes. In other business, the council approved a resolution accepting a state sidewalk grant. Berry said the city has been approved for the grant to complete the sidewalks from the top of Planer Hill to the Eureka Springs Community Center. Berry said the state will kick in $200,000 for the project, with the city providing matching funds of $50,000. “We’re going to be able to start on the sidewalks and have that completed, so that will be great news,” Berry said. Also at the meeting, the council approved a 3 percent rate increase for Carroll County Solid Waste, appointed Ferguson Stewart to the planning commission and approved the City Advertising and Promotion Commission’s appointment of James Devito to Position 2. The council agreed to vacate an alley between Midway and Benton streets and voted 4-2 to revoke an ordinance saying council members can serve on city commissions, with the exception of the CAPC. The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 11, at The Auditorium.

One of the six male tigers that Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge recently rescued from an Oklahoma facility has died, the refuge said in a news release. After traveling 700 miles roundtrip, a team arrived back at the refuge on Thursday, Jan. 17, with two white
striped tigers, a pure-white tiger, a Golden Tabby tiger and two orange tigers in tow. Tommie, Frankie, Robbie, Tigger and Floyd appeared to be in good health, aside from being overweight and potential genetic health issues. One tiger, Diesel, was suffering from
an infection and was immediately taken to TCWR’s onsite veterinary hospital for treatment and further diagnosis. Staff veterinarian Dr. Kellyn started him on antibiotics and pain medication the Thursday he arrived. By Monday, tests See Tiger, page 3

CAPC director Maloney announces retirement By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Mike Maloney is leaving the Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission after serving as director for eight years. Maloney announced his retirement at the commission's Jan. 23 meeting, saying he's had a good run. "I hope my work has benefited the community, and if permissible by the commission, I'd like to end my employment at the end of April,” Maloney said. “Thank you." Chairwoman Carol Wright said she'd miss working with Maloney. "Since the time you've been here, our tax dollars have had a steady increase, especially in the last four years," Wright said. "I very much appreciate that, and I'm sad you're leaving us." Wright said she'd miss events coordinator Andy Green, whose contract ends Feb. 15. Green decided last year not to renew the contract. "With both Andy and Mike, I think we get
so much more than I realized when I started on the commission," Wright said. "Their collective experience in the fields in which they are experts brings so much to Eureka Springs. I'm really grateful that our community has this kind of talent that is helping us move forward." Commissioner Susan Harman thanked Maloney for always answering her questions. "I'm really going to miss Mike, and I appreciate all he's done and the amount of time he puts into different projects," Harman said. Also at the meeting, the commission heard several market support fund requests, starting with Books in Bloom representative Jean Elderwind. Finance director Rick Bright said Elderwind has received funding for the event annually, and Elderwind said the request increased to $2,200 this year because ad prices have gone up. Elderwind said she worked out an advertising package, but some ads had
ESHS to present Fiddler on the Roof, Jr. Feb. 9-10
The Eureka Springs High School Drama Department will present Fiddler on the Roof, Jr. at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 9, and Saturday, Feb. 10, at the Eureka Springs High School auditorium. The Saturday night showing will feature FFA's spaghetti dinner fundraiser, starting at 6 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. This special adaptation of the nine-time Tony Award-winning Broadway musical follows Tevye the milkman as he tries to protect his daughters and his way of life from a changing world. Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye (Austin Maloney) and his five daughters (Makenzie Meyer, Celia Stodden, Savannah Reeves, Megan Elliot and Kierra Witcher). With the help of a color-
ful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to marry off his daughters and instill in them a sense of tradition in the face of growing anti-Semitism in Czarist Russia. It costs $10 for adults and $5 for students. No advance ticket purchase is necessary. Eureka Springs School District students are admitted free to the performances. The Saturday night spaghetti dinner costs $5 and includes spaghetti, salad, dessert and a drink. Fiddler on the Roof, Jr. is presented through a special arrangement with and all authorized performance materials supplied by Music Theatre International. This special ES Tableaux performance is sponsored by Equity Bank of Eureka Springs.
to shrink in size to be affordable. "You all know how advertising does go up, and sometimes that means making hard choices," Elderwind said. "I loved our quarter-age ad in the Arkansas Times last year. I just couldn't justify that huge increase." Commissioner Terry McClung moved to approve $2,200 for Books in Bloom, and the commission agreed to do so. The commission then heard from Bruce Dunn, who asked for $10,000 to promote the Eurekan this year. Dunn said the Eurekan will be held July 19-21 instead of in August, saying that means more people can attend. He's hoping to have up to 1,000 participants in this year's Eurekan, Dunn said, which he's treating as a new event. "That's with the added benefit that we're already going to have 450-550 people there," Dunn said. "I believe we have something no one else has … the finish line and the unique terrain." The commission funded the event in the past, Dunn said, but hasn't in years.

revealed that Diesel was not recovering. “We had hoped to see an increase in his platelet count, or at the very least, that it was holding steady at the number it was Thursday,” said animal curator Emily McCormack. “His body was continuing to lose cells; this confirmed that we were fighting a losing battle.” Diesel’s red blood count was at 10 percent Thursday with the normal range being 30-52 percent, and by Monday, it had dropped to 7.8 percent despite treatment. At 5 percent, his body would no longer be able to function. “We can’t allow an animal to suffer,” McCormack stated. “We had to let him go.” Diesel passed away Monday afternoon. A Facebook post made by the organization said,“…in a room full of people who had quickly fallen in love with him over several days, we let him peacefully slip away.” The post also explained that Dr. Kellyn felt Diesel’s death “appeared to be the result of a blood pathogen transmitted through ticks and/or fleas,” and was later specified as “feline infectious anemia,” which attacks the
"And rightfully so –– you made a really good investment the first three years and got this on the ground," Dunn said. "Why would you go back? The date changed, and we believe there's an opportunity for exponential growth." Commissioner Greg Moon moved to approve $5,000 for the Eurekan, and the commission agreed to do so. The commission also approved $5,000 for the Christmas Tour of Homes, $600 for the Fourth of July Parade, $1,000 for the Veterans Day Parade and $1,445 for Springtime in the Ozarks. In other business, the commission voted to appoint James DeVito to one of two open positions. DeVito said he previously served on the commission for several terms. "I've been active and involved in Eureka's tourism," Devito said. "I think a proactive approach is necessary for the commission, and I think I might be able to bring that." The commission's next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 13, at The Auditorium.
red blood cells that carry oxygen. Because he fell ill before coming to the Refuge, TCWR says it will be monitoring the other five tigers from the rescue for symptoms of the same pathogen. In an earlier video posted to Facebook, McCormack revealed that all of the tigers were survivors of the cub petting industry. They were set to be destroyed by a different owner once they surpassed the legal age to be handled; the facility TCWR obtained them from took them in from that owner before that could happen. The director of the facility then contacted TCWR on Monday, Jan. 14, when he found out he was being evicted from the property. In the statement released digitally regarding Diesel’s death, TCWR wrote, “Diesel and his five friends were born into the cub petting industry; their fates were decided upon conception. While we do our best to save as many survivors of the exotic pet trade as possible, we aren't always in time. The only way we can save them all is to put an end to this heartless industry. If you haven't educated yourself on the exploitation of exotic animals in our country, please do so today.”

The Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission (AMMC) has announced the locations for the state’s first medical marijuana dispensaries. Commission spokesperson Scott Hardin has released a list of the companies that have paid the $15,000 licensing fee and posted the $100,000 performance bond and the locations they chose to license. Companies are limited to one dispensary, so companies with applica-
tions in multiple zones had to choose a location. For Zone 1 in Northwest Arkansas, Acanza Health Group and Valentine Holdings will be in Fayetteville, and Arkansas Medicinal Source Patient Center and the Releaf Center will be in Bentonville. Valentine Holdings had also ranked first in Zone 3 and Zone 4 but chose to locate in Zone 1. Acanza Health Group ranked first in Zone 7 as well but also chose to locate in Zone 1. This means that Eureka Green, which ranked fifth in Zone 1, will not receive a dispensary

license at this time. The Releaf Center had a score of 371.06, and Eureka Green had a score of 370.39. As of Thursday, 20 of the 32 dispensaries had paid the fee and posted the performance bond, allowing them to start construction. Approved patients are expected to receive their marijuana patient identification cards in February. The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (ADFA) said sales are expected to begin around April at the earliest.

Beat the flu
It is difficult to know if that sniffle is from an allergy or cold. The fall allergy season is over and allergies are not likely to show again until springtime. For sure, right now is the time to begin adjusting your supplements and herbals. Regular medicine still isn’t very good at dealing with many viral infections. You see the little guys copy themselves so quickly that they evolve so fast it is startling. If you make a synthetic medicine for a particular virus, chances are, the virus will change just enough so that medicine isn‘t so good. This is why the seasonal flu vaccines may not work. Fortunately, Granny and her herbs and common sense aren’t so easily sidestepped. First, it’s time to ramp up the amount of vitamin D you take daily especially in winter. I personally take 6,000 iu/day. This is good to do to keep respiratory diseases at bay plus other ailments like psoriasis. When colds start to show up, flu won’t be far away; so here is a primer on natural care for these predictable nasties. Did you know tasty tropical red Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) tea though traditionally used to ease indigestion also relieves colds and respiratory trouble? Hibiscus is also a natural source of Vitamin C. Hibiscus can be added to my favorite herbs for both colds and flu, Elder tea straight (colds) or blended with Peppermint (flu) and is very effective at stopping or preventing them. Cheap, too! How I brew leaves, flowers and herbs: Pour 1 cup boiling water over 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. of the tea in a cup. Steep 10-12 minutes. Strain or use a very clean or dedicated Mr. Coffee type maker- place 1 oz or more
of herb in the basket to 1 full carafe of water - try a second batch with the same herb. A fully natural apJim Fain proach for this time of year would start with a good strong immune booster like Astragalus or mushroom extracts started early and taken regularly. I’d then take large amounts of Monolaurin and maybe combine it with grapefruit seed extract as soon as I felt something coming on. 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 soaps on door handles, keyboards and telephones. Soap and water is one of the best germ killers/disinfectant. A good night’s sleep, healthy diet, extra vitamin C and a good multiple vitamin goes a long way. There is an amazing amount of science documenting the power and safety of Monolaurin. A good deal in support of Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE). Strong science documenting Elder for Colds and nasal conditions as well as traditional herbs such as Olive Leaf Extract and Pau d’Arco. For Colds, I like GSE or Elder and for flu -Monolaurin. Olive Leaf is great for the hepatitis viral family and Pau d’Arco is just amazing. Of course all of these supplements do much more, too. Don’t worry about a viral onslaught whether it is cold or flu; simply boost your immune system, take good care of yourself and count on Mother Nature to provide.

The Holiday Island Hikers spent some time in their neck of the woods on Monday, Jan. 21, hiking Starlite Trail because of the icy conditions on the Beaver Bluffs trail. ‘Wet weather followed by cold makes the Starlite Trail particularly beautiful,’ said hiker Daniel Kees.
