DISTRICT CHAMPIONS! Highlanders beat Yellville-Summit in gritty championship game By Scott Loftis
CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
Friday’s championship game of the 2A-1 district tournament at Yellville might be described as an ugly game. But it was downright gorgeous for the Eureka Springs Highlanders. Senior guard Garrett Cross scored 19 points as the Highlanders beat Yellville-Summit 32-20 for the tournament title. Eureka Springs (30-5) won its 16th consecutive game and earned a No. 1 seed in this week’s 2A West Regional Tournament at Danville. The Highlanders faced the host team, Danville, at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. That game tipped off well past deadline for this issue of the Citizen, but the score will be posted at www.LovelyCitizen.com immediately after the game. Eureka Springs coach Brian Rambo said his team welcomed the style of game that unfolded against Yellville-Summit. “It was an ugly, grind-it-out kind of game, but it was exactly the kind of game we wanted,” Rambo said. The Highlanders beat Yellville-Summit for the third time this season. Rambo said the teams’ familiarity kept the game tight for a while. “It was a big chess match there for a while, and neither team was moving the pieces very well,” he said. Unlike the previous two meetings, the Panthers (17-7) utilized a matchup zone defense to try to slow down the Highlanders’ offense, with some success. But Yellville-Summit couldn’t contain Cross, a 6-5 guard whose biggest strength is his versatility. “He’s a guy that can do everything,”

The Eureka Springs Highlanders pose with their trophy after beating Yellville-Summit 32-20 Friday night to win the 2A-1 district tournament at Yellville. The Highlanders (30-5) have won 16 consecutive games.
Rambo said. “He can make shots against the zone. He’s really good off the dribble. He’s a great offensive rebounder. He just does so many things so well, it’s a nightmare for opposing coaches.” Cross scored 14 points in the second half against Yellville-Summit, including eight in the fourth quarter as the Highlanders took control after opening the quarter with a 1615 lead. Two free throws by Cross made it 18-
15. Then, with Yellville-Summit in a more aggressive man-to-man defense, Cross delivered what Rambo called the two biggest plays of the game. First, Cross beat his defender down the lane for a layup to push the Highlanders’ lead to 20-15. Then, on Eureka Springs’ next possession, he drove the lane again before passing out to freshman guard Matthew Lester, who dropped in a three-pointer from the right baseline for a 23-15 cushion.
“Most normal players can’t do that,” Rambo said of Cross’ playmaking. Yellville-Summit cut the Highlanders’ lead to 25-20, but a free throw by senior forward Griffin Taylor and a layup by senior forward Carter Drennon made it 2820. Cross put the finishing touches on the Eureka Springs victory by making four free throws in the final 26.4 seconds. Now, the Highlanders are one victory See Champions, page 3

CAPC to host workshop addressing new director, future plans March 6 By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission wants to know where the community sees the future of tourism going. On Wednesday, Feb. 13, the commission agreed to host a workshop at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, to discuss the search for a new director and the commission's future in general. Director Mike Maloney will be retiring April 30, and chairwoman Carol Wright said she hopes to have someone ready to step into that position as soon as possible. It's important for the commission to hear what the community has to say about filling the position, Wright said. "We do have a lot of new opportunities that have come in, such as the trails. Things change really quickly," Wright said. "There are new markets, and we want to make sure we are listening to everyone, especially our stakeholders who are the people in the hospitality business, but also other people in town." Wright continued, "We want to find the right person for this job. This is a unique community. We want to make sure the person will work well with the community and the staff and have an understanding of where we are and where we want to go." Commissioner Terry McClung said the best way to go about that would be through a workshop. "It's important we have a workshop involving the staff," McClung said. "I think it's very critical to have their input. It's important we have that workshop and include the community and those that want to participate in the tourism industry." McClung said he didn't want the workshop to be a "slam-the-CAPC kind of deal" and Wright agreed. "We definitely need to make sure that meeting is positive and proactive," Wright said. McClung moved to hold the workshop at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, at The
Aud, and the commission unanimously agreed to do so. Also at the meeting, McClung asked the commission to commit $22,500 to remodel the basement of The Aud. The Eureka Springs City Council has agreed to commit $50,000 to the project, McClung said, with a grant kicking in the majority of the $160,000 project. "We need to get this in a timely manner because we're on a short fuse. It's got to be in by March 8," McClung said. "The mayor wants to get it submitted by Feb. 28. They've requested we make an approval and follow up with a letter that we're willing to do this. I don't see how we can say no. It's an important investment for the CAPC." Commissioner Bobbi Foster said she doesn't see a need for an elevator at The Aud, which would be part of the renovations. "I think to spend $22,000 of the taxpayers' money on an elevator would be erroneous on our part," Foster said. Commissioner Susan Harman recalled when the council discussed selling a property on Norris Street to help pay for the renovations. "It's not that I want to argue. It's that I might want more information on this before we vote on it," Harman said. McClung said the commission wouldn't spend a dime if the city can come up with the money, and Foster said she wasn't comfortable voting on the issue. "I don't understand why we have to vote on it tonight," Foster said. "Why can't we wait until the grant is given? Why can't we do it all with grants? Why do we have to spend $22,000 of the CAPC money to do this?" Wright said the city can't apply for the grant without showing where the matching funds would come from, and commissioner James DeVito said the city would stand a better chance of receiving the grant if more stakeholders See CAPC, page 3

Lady Highlanders take 3rd in Holiday Island Association of the district, will play for state bid Arts celebrates Mardi Gras March 5 By Scott Loftis CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
The Eureka Springs Lady Highlanders are one victory away from the state tournament. The Lady Highlanders continued their resurgence on Friday, beating Decatur 36-26 in the third-place game of the 2A-1 conference tournament at Yellville. Eureka Springs (23-13) will play Danville at 7 p.m. Thursday in the 2A West Regional Tournament at Danville. The winner will secure a spot in the Class 2A state tournament that begins Feb. 26 at Carlisle. The Lady Highlanders took control of Friday’s game with an 11-0 run, starting with senior forward Shelby Little’s basket from inside the lane with 1.7 seconds left in the first quarter. That put Eureka Springs ahead 13-9, and the Lady Highlanders scored the first nine points of the second quarter. Little had a pair of baskets during that run, which was capped by a driving layup from junior guard Gracie Lester. Junior forward Megan Holloway scored the first four points of the second half as the Lady Highlanders stretched their lead to 26-11. Eureka Springs coach Ryan Sanchez said playing in the third-place game, after losing in the tournament semifinals, might have affected his team offensively. “It’s hard to get up for a game like that, because you’re not playing for anything as far as winning the district,” he said. “But you are playing for a better seed at regionals, and that’s important. We were lethargic on offense. It wasn’t fluid. That probably had a lot to do with it. Defensively, we’re there. We’re
talking, we’re active. We just never got in a rhythm offensively.” Decatur got within 10 twice in the third quarter, but Holloway converted an offensive rebound into a basket to give the Lady Highlanders a 3018 lead at the end of the quarter, then hit a turnaround bank shot to open the fourth-quarter scoring. Little added a turnaround jumper from the lane for a 34-18 cushion. The Lady Highlanders won despite converting just three of 14 free throws. Holloway scored 12 of her 15 points in the second half to lead Eureka Springs. Little had 11 points in the first half and finished with 13. Looking ahead to Thursday’s game against Danville, Sanchez said the Lady Highlanders should have an advantage in the post with the 6-3 Holloway and 6-0 Lester. “It’s hard for any 2A team to match up with us height-wise,” he said. Danville (26-3) instead is likely to rely on its backcourt. Sanchez said the Lady Little Johns have “three solid guards,” despite losing their best player to a torn ACL late in the regular season. “They’re definitely a different team without her,” Sanchez said. “But they’re a winning team. We definitely out-man them in the post, but their guard play is really solid.” Danville will have the home-court advantage, but Sanchez has personal experience with that situation not working out. “When I was a senior (in 2014) we hosted a regional at Eureka Springs, and we got beat in the first round,” the firstyear coach said. “That will be a factor, but hopefully we can overcome it.”

“They’re a good basketball team. They’re very experienced. They kind of remind me a little bit of Cotter. They’re not very big but they’re athletic.” Rambo expects Danville to come out strong. “They’ll probably have even more energy playing at home,” he said. “We may take it on the chin a little bit early in the game. But if we get up and play, I think we’ll be fine.”

Turpentine Creek updates public on Oklahoma tiger rescue
Five tigers rescued from a closing Oklahoma facility in late January continue with health intervention but are doing well overall, according to Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge (TCWR). Tommy, Frankie, Robbie, Tigger and Floyd were obese and diagnosed with genetic health issues at the time of their rescue. Another tiger, Diesel, was suffering from feline infectious anemia and could not be saved despite TCWR's best efforts. All of the remaining tigers except Floyd quickly found comfort in their new environment. Floyd was previously diagnosed with metabolic bone disease and physical deformities in his limbs. After seeking solace inside his den for several weeks, he has now become trusting and confident. He has been spotted following team members along the fence line and even dishing out friendly "chuffs" to others. "Every animal adapts at their own pace. Even improved situations can be overwhelming to them," said animal curator Emily McCormack. "Floyd needed a little more time to adjust than the others, and we made sure not to push him. Here, there are no expectations or things that we require of him. We just want to give him the opportunity to be a tiger." All of the new rescues are on a special diet and exercise regiment and have already dropped a few pounds. They are also being given vitamins and supplements for chronic issues, and Floyd is on a pain management program. TCWR revealed in a previous press

release that 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. According to TCWR, the cub petting industry is one of the many faces of the exotic pet trade, where wild animals are sold as pets and for entertainment. Most recently, a tiger was found in an abandoned Houston, Texas, home, residing in an insecure enclosure. "These are the types of things that people sometimes have no idea even what's going on in their own backyard," McCormack said. McCormack said there are possibly 10,000-20,000 big cats residing in the U.S., with only 6 percent residing in reputable zoos and sanctuaries. "That leaves a huge number of animals out there that need to be rescued, and that's why sanctuaries are here," she said. Tyson, the tiger found in the Houston home, was transported to fellow Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries accredited Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch in Texas. Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch is also a member of the Big Cat Sanctuary Alliance, which was formed following TCWR's 2016 Colorado project that re-homed 115 survivors of
the exotic pet trade to reputable sanctuaries throughout the country. "You never know when a tiger, a lion, a cougar, a leopard, a bobcat or a serval are going to be homeless," McCormack said. "People get these animals when they're young as cubs and then basically don't know what to do with them." TCWR encourages the public to familiarize themselves with the Big Cat Public Safety Act, a bill that, if passed, would regulate privatized ownership of exotic felines and protect them from abuse, neglect and exploitation. Though the act has yet to be reintroduced to Congress for the 2019 session, action can be taken by sending an email to representatives asking them to co-sponsor the legislation. A pre-written email can easily be sent from TCWR's website at https://www.turpentinecreek.org/bcpsa/action-bcpsa. You can find updates on Tommy, Robbie, Frankie, Tigger and Floyd's progress on at https://www.facebook.com/TurpentineCreekWildlifeRefuge or http://bit. ly/TCWRYoutube.

THE
Citizen of the Week
Helpful herb
As a kid, my brother and I would look forward to the weekends, counting the days which seemed to pass by as slowly as an anemic turtle. One reason for this was I grew up in a rural part of Florida not far from virgin beaches on the Gulf side. I remember running from the car toward the white sandy beaches, darting in and out of Sea Oats and funny little flowers called Periwinkle. Usually, I’d abruptly stop, yelping in pain as my foot would be patterned with sandspurs. I’d sit down in those funny little flowers which could grow in bad soil next to salt water to pick the spurs out of my aching foot. Vinpocetine: turns out those funny little flowers have potent benefit. Periwinkle (Vinca minor) is a relatively unknown supplement product on the market and is generally suggested for people with non-Alzheimer’s related memory loss - meaning run of the mill memory loss due to aging. It is believed to enhance blood circulation and oxygen utilization in the brain and protects
the brain from the devastating effects of oxygen deprivation. There is good science Jim Fain here. People more often than not report an improvement in visual sharpness as well as improved hearing. I first heard about this little gem from a local woman who had been told about Vinpocetine (Periwinkle) by her eye doctor at the Veteran’s Administration. I’ve been trying it myself to see if I can improve my vision without wearing glasses. I’m moderately nearsighted (trouble reading signs while driving) but have to take the glasses off to read up close. So far, I think I have had an improvement within 20 minutes of taking 10 mgs ( twice per day) which lasts for a couple of hours. I would think long-term use would have a lasting benefit. I also wonder if it could be useful for tinnitis (buzzing in the ears). It’s a neat little herb and isn’t expensive either.
Sarai Aleshire is this week’s Citizen of the Week. Aleshire was nominated by Bob Thomas, who thanked her for her performance as the front of the house manager for The Aud. “She has a variety of duties, some seen and some unseen,” Thomas said. “What ticket holders don’t see are the hospitality items that have been requested by performers as part of their contract. Sarai is responsible for hospitality and sees to it that all these obligations are met.” Aleshire started almost 20 years ago as a volunteer at The Aud, Thomas said, and has worked with a variety of Aud managers, performers, audiences, paid staff and volunteers.
