‘Mammovan’ returning to Carroll Co. in March By Samantha Jones
CCNNews@cox-internet.com
After a successful run last year, mobile mammograms will be back in the spring. The mammogram van will be stationed in the Walmart parking lot in Berryville on Tuesday, March 8. The mammograms are operated by the North Arkansas Partnership for Health Education (NAPHE), which extended its grant funding for the screenings to Carroll County last fall. The first screenings in the county took place last October at the Echo Clinic in Eureka Springs. Earlene Venable, who works with NAPHE, said the screenings went well. Of the 20 women screened that day, eight did not have insurance. Venable noted that these women likely wouldn’t have been screened without the service. “Several ladies were referred on for fur-
ther diagnostic testing and, happily, all were cleared,” Venable said. Part of the service, she continued, helps women understand more about breast cancer to monitor their own bodies and recognize abnormalities. The mammograms are open to women over 40 free of cost. Venable said in October that the service is important because it helps women who don’t have insurance. “We don’t want to see another woman diagnosed too late because she didn’t have insurance,” Venable said. Insurance is accepted, she noted, but uninsured or underinsured clients are covered through the Susan G. Komen Ozark grant. To schedule an appointment, call UAMS at 800-259-8794. For more information, call the Community Health Resource Center in Harrison at 870-743-2472.
Valentines dinner theater
The Eureka Springs High School drama department will be putting on a dinner theater from 6 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. Friday, February 12, followed by a double feature of two humorous dramas about dating. The first performance, Avoiding the Pitfalls of High School Dating, is a seminar for high school students who have trouble going on dates. Hosts for the evening are Lucky Daye and Starry Knight, played by Wyatt Pavelsek and Ashlynn Lockhart, two people who have invested their entire life savings into creating this simple system of five never-fail rules for dating success. DJ Rassinier and Rachel Adams play the roles of Lenny and Matilda, two outcasts, have been brought in to demonstrate the system by going on a series of speed-dates to bring the five simple rules to life. Shuffling features Corinna Campbell-Green as a teenage girl, who finished work at the mall and is waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up. Left stranded yet again, she reevaluates her love life while shuffling through the songs on her iPod. Actors portraying each of the songs ap-
pear with comedic monologues that stir her emotions, offer advice, and affect her decisions. Ethan, played by Wade Wheeler, is a good-humored co-worker, who offers her a ride home and the possibility of future romance. The plays feature all the Eureka Springs Tableaux students under the direction of Mr. Rick Mann. The cost for meal and the double feature is $10 for adults and $5 for students. For more information, call Mr. Rick Mann at 479-253-8875.

OzMoMu brings home ALFiE award
The Citizen is published weekly on Thursdays in Eureka Springs, Arkansas by Rust Publishing MOAR L.L.C. Copyright 2016 This paper is printed with soy ink on recycled paper. Subscription rate: $57.50/year MANAGING EDITOR: Scott Loftis ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Alana Cook EDITORIAL STAFF: Samantha Jones DESIGN DIRECTOR: Melody Rust PHOTOGRAPHERS: David Bell, Tavi Ellis ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVES: Karen Horst, Jim Sexton, Diane Newcomb CLASSIFIEDS/RECEPTIONIST: Cindy Worley CONTRIBUTORS: Beth Bartlett, Jim Fain CIRCULATION: Dwayne Richards Office Hours:
The winners of the 2015 ALFiE Awards, given by the Arkansas Festivals & Events Association, were announced recently during the association’s 32nd Annual Conference at the Arkansas 4-H Center in Little Rock. The ALFiEs, an acronym for “Arkansans Love Festivals and Events,” honor the best and the brightest in the preceding year. The awards were presented by Association Executive Director Jenna Friday. Winner of the 2015 ALFiE for “Best New Festival or Event” was the Ozark Mountain Music Festival (OzMoMu), held in historic downtown Eureka Springs at the 1905 Basin Park Hotel. The third annual four-day/threenight, Thursday through Sunday event was held Jan. 21-24, 2016. “This award recognizes events that

are still within their first five years,” explained Friday, “and judging is based on the operation’s growth, uniqueness and community contribution.” Mary Howze, activities director for the Basin Park Hotel and its sister property, the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa, also located in Eureka Springs, accepted the award for the hotel. “January can be a bit slow in Eureka so we wanted to offer something that would bring folks to town. So we chose a very popular Ozark platform, a music festival,” Howze noted. “And since it can get a little chilly in The Ozarks in January, we thought we would put our ‘outdoor festival’ indoors at the Basin Park Hotel. The idea has worked and worked well.” More than 12 bands entertained on the hotel’s three stages in addition to
the hotel’s Balcony Restaurant. The 300-plus ticketed patrons filled the hotel for three nights with an overnight spillover to nearby lodging facilities. “OzMoMu is accomplishing everything we wanted it to do,” Howze said. “It not only brings exciting music to our town as it gathers together the regional music community during their ‘cold break’ from other festivals but it also brings people to town during a slow time of the year. People who spend the night, eat in local restaurants, shop in local shops and have a pretty good time, too!” Dates have been set for OzMoMu4: Jan. 19-22, 2017. For more information regarding the award-winning festival, one may go to www.OzarkMountainMusicFestival.com .
Chamber to produce Mustang Car Show The Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce has announced that it will produce the Mustang Car Show. The event will be held May 21 at Pine Mountain Village.
“We are happy to continue the tradition of a successful car show,” Tammy Thurow, Chamber president, said. “We have heard from so many businesses about how important this car show is to
their business that we just had to help.” For more information, please contact Thurow at 479-253-8737 or email at president@eurekaspringschamber. com.

The Natural Way Natural cures for irritable bowl syndrome
I
rritable Bowel Syndrome is Jim Fain a group of ailments that can have different causes. Leaky gut, Crohn’s disease, spastic colon, food allergies, lactose intolerance and a broad array of other labels might be placed under the name of IBS. The causes may be unknown but the symptoms always include diarrhea and/or constipation, bloating and gas along with pain, spasms and cramps. Everybody has some of this. It is when a lasting change happens that the IBS label is given. The gut reacts to our emotions and thoughts. The more you think about IBS or worry about it, the worse it becomes. Our digestive system is tied into the fight or flight response. So urgency and having to go now as well as the opposite constipation go hand-in-hand with IBS. Mostly, don’t obsess and lighten up to reduce the emotional angle. The old philosopher said it best, “I think therefore I am.” Reducing stress is another aspect of sealing with this ailment. Supplementing with soluble fiber like Acacia, reducing dietary fat intake to about 25 percent of diet, learning the trigger foods, eating small portions often and in a calm, leisurely manner and taking charge of your health are all good things to do. Herbals in addition to Acacia fiber that have been proven in the time honored way include Fennel tea and Peppermint oil. Fennel provides immediate relief for bloating and gas as it relaxes the gut and regulates contractions. Peppermint oil prevents spasm, cramps and urgency. Acacia, fennel tea and peppermint oil capsules are an ideal combination. Additionally, a little known supplement, lactoferrin can help. It especially helps the small bowel work better. Lactoferrin does improve immunity while also chelating excess iron. I found this information on PubMed and have used it successfully myself. I also like l-glutamine especially for leaky gut, enteric coated and freeze dried probiotics along with digestive enzymes. The enzymes should include ox bile to help with the digestion of fat. Life is an adventure, with the regular use of natural products and a little care, people with IBS need not fear car trips or being away from home.

It’s all about the view! Beaver lake and Henry Hollow. Wonderful lot with some nice, established plantings. Large 30x40 workshop 2 bay RV port. Home is very livable, but can use work. Lots with water, septic, and this view at this price are a rare find.
Currently divided up as office space, but none of the walls go to ceiling, making it easy to remodel and customize. Nice location on US 62. Property is on a curve for more visibility, and plenty of land for additional parking. Easy in and out.
