New parks director introduced at meet and greet

By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Justin Huss began working as the full-time director of the Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Department on March 23. He celebrated the occasion at meet and greet on Friday, March 25, where he said he hoped to introduce himself to more members of the community. Being part of the community, Huss said, is one of his biggest goals in Eureka Springs. “I’m really excited to get to know more people and get involved in the community more,” Huss said. Vince Peschke, a maintenance worker with the parks department, reported feeling excited about Huss taking over the position. Before Huss got the job, Donna Woods served as interim director for nine months. “We’ve got the ship headed in the right direction. I know Justin’s going to fill the shoes really well and pick up where Donna left off,” Peschke said. Barry Reed agreed. The newest member of the Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission, Reed pointed out how much experience Huss has in parks. “His background looks great. He’s fully vetted and he’s got a lot of experience that’s going to translate well,” Reed said. “I’m looking forward to it. Over the next year, Peschke said he’s excited to see how Huss guides the park department through various improvements to city facilities. One of the biggest upcoming improvements, Peschke said, is the renovation of the cabins at Leatherwood City Park. Peschke noted that the parks department is also planning to revamp the area allocated to recreational vehicles. “We’re going to be putting in a lot of new RV pads. We’ll just have a lot of improvements at the campground to really get the people coming out,” Peschke

said. Tourism at the parks, Peschke continued, has already been successful this year. He recalled the first few weekends of the season, saying more people showed up than he expected. “We’re already starting to see it. When we opened last week, people were just flooding in out there,” Peschke said. He added that he’s anticipating building up the trails system as well.

If you live outside city limits and would like to join the Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission, the Eureka Springs City Council has good news for you. The council voted 5-1 Monday night to draw up an ordinance allowing residents who live outside Eureka Springs city limits to join the commission. Alderman Terry McClung made the motion, saying potential commissioners could live outside city limits but must live within the Western District of Carroll County. Bill Featherstone, chairman of the commission, explained how having commissioners who live outside of city limits could benefit the commission. He pointed out how the commission has had difficulty filling an open position for a while now, saying more people might apply if the pool expanded a bit. “We have 2,000 people in town. Somewhere about two to three times that live outside the city limits in the Western District of Carroll County, and many of those people are just as enthusiastic and supportive of parks as those in the city limits,” Featherstone said. Featherstone explained that the commission has seven commissioners. He asked for one position to be filled by a resident who lives outside city limits but said he wouldn’t mind increasing that. Alderman James DeVito asked if three commissioners outside city limits would be OK, saying that would mean the majority of the commission would still live within city limits. “You have a seven-member commission. Three could be in county and four in the city,” DeVito said. Featherstone concurred. “Two is better than one, and three is better than two,” Featherstone said.

“The commission is driven by the majority of residents. That’s the way it is and should be.” – Bill featherstone

Alderman Bob Thomas opposed the idea, saying he wasn’t comfortable with allowing up to three members of the commission to live outside city limits. “I understand seats are hard to fill. I know a lot of people don’t like many of the commissions because it separates them from the people that are running their business,” Thomas said. He continued, “Now you’re talking about citizens paying to have a service in the city but you want people from outside the city to make a decision as to what those services will be. Parks is supported by taxes. Who pays the taxes?” DeVito pointed out how allowing up to three commissioners living outside city limits would help the commission out when necessary. “This allows us the latitude in worstcase scenarios. We’ve been here before,” DeVito said. He continued, “We just mentioned that we had a commission with no commissioners, and Bill’s talking about a seat that’s been vacant for well over a year.” Featherstone noted how many people who work in the parks department don’t live in the Eureka Springs city limits. “Our ex-interim director lived outside city limits. I think most of our current staff at parks lives outside city limits. We get a lot of great input at parks from people who don’t live inside city limits,” Featherstone said. He added, “I’ve never known it to be an issue with them not representing what residents want. The commission is driven by the majority of residents. That’s the way it is and should be.”

The majority of the council agreed and voted to allow up to three members of the parks commission to live outside city limits, so long as they live in the Western District of Carroll County. Alderman David Mitchell encouraged anyone interested in joining a commission to apply. “If anybody that’s watching this tonight has any desire, now’s the time, especially if you live in the city, to step up to the plate. There’s some vacancies, and I’m sure this council would be very pleased as would Parks to start receiving some applications,” Mitchell said. “Let’s get moving.” Also at the meeting, the council voted to appoint Barbara Dicks to the hospital commission and Barry Reed to the parks commission. Thomas was appointed to the cemetery commission as well. DeVito presented a report from the City Advertising and Planning Commission, saying the CAPC hopes to purchase a digital projector in the near future. “We’re looking forward to showing movies at The Auditorium and maybe not right hot off the press but good quality movies,” DeVito said. Mitchell presented the mayor’s report, updating the council on events scheduled for April. Diversity Weekend will take place from Friday, April 1 to Sunday, April 3, Mitchell said, and Carving in the Ozarks is planned to take place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, April 15, and Saturday, April 16, at the Victorian Inn parking lot. “That’s always an interesting event,” Mitchell said. He added that Springtime in the Ozarks is slated for Thursday, April 14, to Sunday, April 17. The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, April 11, at Eureka Springs City Hall.

Good Shepherd shelter to reopen April 3 By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Good Shepherd Humane Society shelter is back. GSHS President Mark Jankowski reported on March 25 that the shelter will be fully open to the public on Sunday, April 3. The shelter will be open from noon to 5 p.m. Thursday through Monday. It will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. Jankowski said the shelter is reopening a little later than expected, saying it took a while to repaint the kennels. It was too cold to keep animals outside, Jankowski explained, and the animals couldn’t be indoors while painting was done because the fumes are too strong. “We had to wait until it got a little warmer,” Jankowski said. The improvements made to the shelter, he noted, are immediately noticeable. Jankowski said the shelter installed a black perimeter containment fence to prevent dogs who might break out of their kennel from running onto the highway. A storage container to hold animal food was also added on-site. “Previously, we had animal food being held for us at a warehouse,” Jankowski said. The juvenile cat house, he continued, has been sanitized and repainted. He said

the shelter is also painting the office and dog kennels, as well as replacing broken sliding doors in the dog runs. Jankowski noted that a tankless hot water heater was installed to help maintain sanitation. The shelter, Jankowski said, added a new building with two rooms. He said the first room will be a meet-and-greet room, allowing potential adopters to meet animals they want to adopt in a private one-on-one indoor setting. The second room, he said, is a multipurpose room meant for meetings and a break room for the staff. “These rooms will not be completed when we reopen, but we plan on having it completed this summer,” Jankowski said. He explained that the shelter is seeking grants to help fund that project. A private dog run, he added, has been built behind the building so potential adopters can be with the animal outside. “We will continue to make improvements to the facility and improve our ability to care for the animals brought to us,” Jankowski said. The shelter will host a re-opening event to show off its improvements on Sunday, May 1. “We welcome the whole community to come out, see the new look and enjoy some refreshments,” Jankowski said.

From The Editor

Trumped-up assumptions A few weeks ago, I read a comment about how everyone who works at the Citizen must support Donald Trump. I’ve heard a lot of terrible, untrue things about my employer and coworkers, but I have to say that comment has offended me more than anything else. I find it incredibly arrogant to assume you know what someone believes based on where they work. If it isn’t obvious, I’m a pretty liberal person. In fact, I’m so liberal that my Republican father proclaimed, “Oh, I know you’re a crazy lib” earlier this year when I told him I didn’t want to be walked down the aisle at my wedding. Yet I’ve worked at a conservative radio station, a Presbyterian-affiliated college and, yes, Carroll County Newspapers. I don’t choose where I work based on where my employer is perceived to stand politically, because I like being paid to do something good for others. And that’s what I get to do in Carroll County. I’ve covered memorials and charity auctions and school plays. I’ve seen how much you can change someone’s life just by being open to hearing their story. Because of Carroll County Newspapers, I get to do that every day. I’d do this job even if my bosses had Donald Trump bumper stickers. I will admit I’m more comfortable that they don’t, but it wouldn’t affect my ability to do my job well either way. See, I try really hard not to let the political views of others affect how I see them as people. It’s true that Trump supporters have been violent at rallies, but what kind of person does it make me if I assume they don’t have feelings the same way I do? I’m not saying I sympathize with the political views of Trump supporters. I just see them as fellow people who could express their feelings a bit more eloquently. So what would I do if my boss walked into the office every day yelling, “Make America great again!” I’d probably roll my eyes and laugh, because he would be

joking. That’s right. Despite the common belief that everyone who works with me is a raging Republican, most of my coworkers can’t stand Trump. Those who don’t mind him as much still don’t like him a whole lot. If mild inSamantha Jones difference is the equivalent of complete support, it is true that I work with a bunch of extreme, gun-totin’, rebel flag-wavin’ Trump supporters. I usually don’t let it bother me when I hear something negative someone has said about the people I work with, but this is just too much. It’s not true, it’s flippant and it’s downright insulting. How dare anyone assume an entire group of people holds the same political opinions because they get paid by the same company? That’s just plain ignorant, and “ignorant” is not at all a word I associate with Eureka Springs. I have friends here who are like family. My fiancé and I have talked about raising a family here. I know the majority of the people who live here do not believe I support a man who hates women and minorities just because I work for a company many believe to be slanted to the right. Fortunately, most people who live in Eureka are better than that. And those of you who aren’t? Well, you should be. ••• Samantha Jones is associate editor for Carroll County Newspapers.

Books in Bloom announces authors By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

As the literary component of the May Festival of the Arts, Books in Bloom has brought famous authors to Eureka Springs since 2005. This year, the author lineup is as varied as it is full. “I’m always astounded at the variety of authors we have coming into the festival. I’ve either read their work or followed their work,” said Jean Elderwind, co-chair of event. Two of the major authors appearing at the event are Amy Stewart and Thomas Perry. Stewart is known for books that explore little-known aspects of the natural world, such as The Drunken Botanist, Wicked Bugs and Wicked Plants. She will discuss her newest book, which is based on actual events. Perry writes thrillers described as “intelligent, transfixing and precise.” He’s produced a long list of bestselling novels, including The Butcher’s Boy, Pursuit and The Informant. His latest novel is called Forty Thieves. Elderwind noted Perry’s success writing detective novels, saying he will talk about his path as a writer. “He is wanting to share some of his experiences and share some tips with aspiring writers,” Elderwind said. “We have a number of aspiring writers in our area that come for Books in Bloom.” Books in Bloom, Elderwind continued, is important because it helps aspiring writers

figure out how to work on their writing. “When we work with the authors about their presentations, we tell them by and large people who want to buy their book will be there but also there will be a number of writers wanting to improve their craft. What a better way to do it than through Books in Bloom,” Elderwind said. Laura Lippman, Leo Mazor, Brian Biggs and E.A. Allen will also speak at the event. A former journalist, Lippman used her experience as a reporter to create her reoccurring protagonist, Tess Monaghan. Like Lippman, Allen writes mystery novels. His mysteries, though, are set in the Edwardian era of Sherlock Holmes. Mazor will present a multimedia program combining the dust of Thomas Hart Benton’s era with his paintings, including live musicians and a slide show. Biggs will talk about writing and illustration children’s books. Biggs, who has created artwork for popular children’s books, will feature his picture book series Everybody Goes. Other authors appearing at the event are Brooks Blevins, Talya Tate Boerner, Diane Les Becquets, Radine Trees Nehring, Dusty Richards, Mary Nida Smith and Sanderia Faye Smith. The event is free and will take place from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, May 15, at the Crescent Hotel. Though it is scheduled to take place in the hotel’s gardens, Elderwind said

March 31, 2016 – Lovely County Citizen – Page

a rain plan is already in place. “If the weather turns rainy, that doesn’t mean we won’t have the festival. We’ll just move it inside the Crescent Hotel,” Elderwind said. Elderwind remembered how the event has evolved over the years, saying it has always been held at the Crescent Hotel. The Carroll and Madison Public Library Foundation, she explained, produces the event. “It’s sponsored by the Crescent Hotel, which is our festival underwriter,” Elderwind said. “That was the venue that came to our mind right at the start.” The event has continued to grow over the years, but Elderwind said there are no plans to extend it yet. “We haven’t extended it even though we’ve been tempted. It’s a one-day festival we continue to try to improve,” Elderwind said. Elderwind said the Books in Bloom committee begins meeting in July each year to plan the event, looking to find ways to make it better than the year before. “We start a list of authors we’d like. There are a number of others that are coming this year with whom I’ve corresponded over years hoping our calendars would match,” Elderwind said. She continued, “We’re super excited to welcome all the authors this year. No matter what people’s reading taste, they’ll find someone they like.”

The Natural Way Ashwagandha benefits mind, body Ash Wanda sounds like the name of a far distant country discovered by British imperialists of a few centuries ago. It may sound that way, but Ashwagandha (the g and the h are silent) is a very well used Ayurvedic herb dating back thousands of years. Ayurvedic medicine is one of the three major types of medicine worldwide. Chinese medicine is from the Far East, Western is the usual science-based allopathic medicine and Ayurvedic is an approach used in India. Ashwagandha is becoming mainstream now in the United States, and for good reason. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), also called winter cherry, comes from the roots of a shrub cultivated in India and North America. It has been traditionally used as a tonic for vitality and longevity. It calms the mind, relieves weakness, nervous exhaustion and arthritis, tones the reproductive system in men and women and builds up sexual energy. It often causes natural, effortless weight loss. Many who use this supplement take it to restore energy due to adrenal fatigue brought on by ongoing stress. Jim Fain

A very rich source of flavanoids that has been well-studied over the last 20 years shows Ashwagandha to have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, anti-stress, mind boosting and rejuvenating properties. A very small study in humans even showed a decrease of bad cholesterol and an improvement of good cholesterol. Apparently, it helps produce nitric oxide in our bodies that benefits the heart, blood pressure, blood vessels and well...ummmm, that blood-related function most important to men. Ashwagandha is the first of many new herbals to appear on the U.S. market. Of course, they aren’t new at all and have been used by distant medicine people for a very long time. This is a safe and gentle herb and, when used as directed, can benefit many. People who use barbiturates regularly should not use this herb, since it increases the effects. Its antioxidant and adaptogenic effects are second to none that I know. While it can be found as a standalone supplement, you’ll more likely find it in a combination of other herbals such as Rhodiola and Ginseng. These cousins work even better together.

Wisecrack Zodiac Aries: If you carry grudges, you don’t have a free hand to pick up money in the parking lot. Let go of those hurt feelings so you can scoop up better stuff. Forgiveness goes well with free coffee. Taurus: You’re a closed book; no one can read you. Air out those pages and stiffen those dog ears so you don’t end up the weird, moldy volume passed over at yard sales. Gemini: Next time someone says you must be jelly because jam don’t shake like that, tell them you’re making marmalade and whack him upside the head with an orange. It’s part of a delicious, peaceful and nutritious breakfast. Cancer: You might as well wear a lampshade around town, because everyone turns you on. Find a hot honey for some undercover work, and they’ll see the light. Leo: Someone yells “Finders keepers” when

Beth Bartlett

they grab for something that’s yours this week. Grab those sticky fingers with your G.I. Joe kungfu grip and explain all the nuances of “Losers weepers.” Virgo: It’s hard to be the best and the brightest when you’re burned out. Take some time off to recharge, or find a cute electrician to screw in a new bulb. Libra: Your boss finally found your Instagram account and all those nude work selfies. If you talk fast enough, he might believe it’s a viral marketing scheme, but you may have to tattoo the company logo on your butt to seal the deal. Scorpio: A fool and his money are soon parted, and if you find the right spatula, you can do the parting. Remember to spray your spatula with Pam so you can make a quick getaway without leaving a mess. Sagittarius: Some are born to ferrets, and others have ferrets thrust

upon them. You’re the type who just has ferrets following you around, which means you should probably quit storing peanut butter pretzels in your pockets. Capricorn: Honesty is the best policy, unless you can get a really sweet deal on insurance. Spare no expense, and you won’t have to explain how that scooter became embedded in the side of the house. Aquarius: Life is like a fruit basket. Just when you think it’s all berry delicious, the world goes bananas. Hold on to your mangoes before everything goes pear-shaped. Pisces: You have a brighter outlook these days, which will happen when you remove your head from your own posterior. Stay topside and enjoy that fresh air; you’ll get so much more done.

Carroll County Health Unit to celebrate Public Health Week By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Carroll County Health Unit will observe Public Health Week from Monday, April 4, to Friday, April 8. A press release from the health unit encourages residents to visit the unit at 402 Hailey Road in Berryville to learn about the county’s health, as well as the services the health department provides. Lisa Holt, an administrator with the health unit, said the week is meant to educate county residents on various health issues. “Public Health Week is a great time to commit to being more physically active and eating more fruits and vegetables. It is also a great time to stop using tobacco,” Holt said. Information on healthy eating, tobacco prevention and cessation programs and mosquito bite protection and control will be available at the health unit. The press release says the 2015 County Health Rankings ranked Carroll County 19 healthiest out of 75 counties in Arkansas. Major contributing factors to the ranking include tobacco use, obesity, physical activity, lack of access to healthy foods, lack of access to healthcare, low education level, high child poverty and unemployment. Public Health Week, Holt said, sheds

light on these factors. “If we all commit to moving more, eating better and being good health role models for our children, we can make a big impact on the overall health of Carroll County residents and make a healthier place for our children to grow,” Holt said. Public Health Week is observed during the first full week of April each year. During the week, health professionals connect with individuals and communities to show them how public health helps Arkansans improve their own health. This year’s theme is “Healthiest Nation 2030,” focusing on the steps needed See Health, page 18 SPECIALIZING IN: • PULLED PORK • CATFISH • THICK & JUICY BURGERS Groups/Take-Out Welcome
