Local leaders meet with U.S. Rep. Steve Womack to discuss issues affecting Eureka Springs.
Womack meets with local leaders By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
U.S. Rep. Steve Womack didn’t talk much when he met with Eureka Springs business owners on Thursday, March 31. Jack Moyer, who sits on the board of the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce, said Womack spent the meeting listening to what local business leaders had to say about the economic development in Eureka Springs. A press release from the chamber says a major goal of the meeting was to update Womack on the Eureka Springs Highlander Community Center. Moyer said Diane Murphy, chairperson of the Eureka Springs Highlander Community Center Foundation, gave an update on how the community center project has been progressing. “He was pleased we’ve raised quite a bit of money by ourselves. He was encouraging of others to participate,” Moyer said. The press release says Womack left the meeting with a comment on the community center, saying “Eureka Springs needs to find a way to make this happen.” Other presenters at the meeting were: alderman David Mitchell; Craig Hull, who spoke about Black Bass Dam water quality
and drainage; Parks Commission chairman Bill Featherstone, who spoke on the trails system; Kent Butler, who discussed image inclusion in Northwest Arkansas; school superintendents Bryan Pruitt of Eureka Springs, Matt Summers of Green Forest and Owen Powell of Berryville, who addressed workforce development; Catherine Papas, who talked about rural healthcare; Jason Tennant, who spoke on community banking; and Eureka Springs High School student Heidi Kirk. For most of the meeting, Moyer said the panel discussed local issues. Moyer recalled Womack bringing up a federal issue near the end of the meeting, asking the community to support his Marketplace Fairness Act. This act adds tax to internet sales to repair the undermining of local retailers, which could endanger the budgets of state and local governments. Under current law, the press release says online merchants are not required to collect sales taxes except in states where they have a physical presence. “He said it was fine when people were buying the TV and the refrigerator, but now they’re buying toilet paper and toothpaste on the internet,” Moyer said.

GSHS president reflects on shelter changes By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The past two months have been full of changes for the Good Shepherd Humane Society. GSHS president Mark Jankowski spoke about the changes, recalling how the animal shelter shut down about two months ago to work on repairs. Those two months, Jankowski said, were necessary for the shelter to improve. “To fix your car, you have to stop driving it. That’s kind of what we did here,” Jankowski said. Jankowski, who became GSHS president last fall, noted that many of these repairs can be seen immediately upon arriving at the shelter. A new fence around the exterior of the shelter, he said, was built to ensure the safety of the animals staying in kennels outside during the day. “Certain times, dogs learn to move the latches. It just happens sometimes. And where do they dart to? For the road,” Jankowski said. He added that a container of dog food has been placed on-site. In the past, Jankowski said shelter workers traveled off-site to get the food. “The problem was going back and forth. That makes a difference,” Jankow-
ski said. Another addition you can see from the parking lot, Jankowski continued, is a new building intended for meet and greets between animals and their potential owners. The new building isn’t finished yet, but Jankowski said it will eventually be a way for people interesting in adopting to get to know an animal privately. “Whether it’s a cat or dog, you can spend some time alone without other barking dogs around,” Jankowski said. Inside the facility, Jankowski said several changes have been made as well. He described how shelter volunteers have helped paint the areas where dogs stay and installed guillotine doors between each of these areas. Those doors, Jankowski said, have already helped shelter staff and volunteers take care of the dogs better. “It sounds like a bad name, but they’re doors that separate both sides of the pen. If you want to clean one area, you can shut it and get all the animals on one side,” Jankowski said. Additionally, Jankowski said the doors are made of aluminum, which prevents dogs from biting through them. One of the biggest repairs inside the facility, he continued, is the installation of a hot
Clear Spring student competes at Geographic Bee By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Clear Spring School student Chloe Kirk competed at the Arkansas State Geographic Bee on Friday, April 1. Though she didn’t win, Kirk said the competition went well. “I got about six out of eight, but I wasn’t in the tie-breaker,” Kirk said. She remembered a mistake she made during the competition, saying she answered a question wrong. “They said, ‘What North American country has a lot of polar bears?’ I said,
‘The U.K.,’ because that’s a North American country!” Kirk said. “And polar bears obviously live in the U.K.” To prepare for the bee, Kirk said she relied heavily on internet research. “I like the Internet, because the Internet is amazing,” Kirk said. Kirk is in the seventh grade and has attended Clear Spring since the fifth grade. Learning at Clear Spring, she said, helped prepare her for a big competition like the bee. See Clear Spring, page 13

water heater. “That helps with the sanitation for the whole area,” Jankowski said. Along with repairs inside and outside the building, the structure of the shelter’s staff has changed as well. Jankowski said the shelter now has two co-managers, one who focuses on animal care and another who focuses on the office. In the past, Jankowski said the shelter had a manager and an assistant
manager. “We felt like doing it the old way was rather difficult for a person who had one skill or the other. Now we’re structured this way, and I think it’s going to help us in the long run,” Jankowski said. “I think it makes a lot of sense.” Jankowski, who became GSHS president last fall, remembered when he See GSHS, page 14
ES Quiz Bowlers headed to state competition By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs High School Quiz Bowl team is moving on to the state finals. The team won third place at the regional tournament in Newport earlier this month. Team captain Wyatt Pavelsek was named a high point player in the tournament, earning him a spot in the State All-Star competition in May.
Pavelsek answered more questions correctly per game than any other player in the tournament. The state finals will be held at Conway Christian Academy on Saturday, April 9, where the Highlanders will face the best of the best in the 2A competition. Adviser Jake Allen said he’s proud of the team. “The Highlanders are excited and proud to represent Eureka Springs at state,” Allen said.

Writers’ Colony to host events honoring Scottish heritage
Students of the Quarter
By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Eureka Springs students Dallas Galyen and Oscar Mendez have been named the Elks Lodge Students of the Quarter. The students were nominated by staff based on their dedication to academics and athletics, volunteerism in their community and overall character. Pictured from left are Galyen, Dr. Ken Brown of the Elks Lodge and Mendez.
The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow is embracing Eureka Springs’ Scottish connections. Linda Lewis, who volunteers with the group, said the Writers’ Colony will kick off Scottish themed events with an “Outlander” viewing party from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, April 9, at 515 Spring St. in Eureka Springs. Potluck foods and munchies are encouraged, and the event is free. It is adults only. The Outlander series tells the story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse who travels back in time to 1743 where she is forced to marry a young Scottish warrior. Lewis said the series reflects the Scottish immigration story in Northwest Arkansas, saying she wants to bring that story to the forefront in Eureka Springs. Lewis explained how Eureka Springs is connected to the Scottish heritage. “We know the stone masons came here and helped build the Crescent Hotel and the Basin Hotel, so we are just rediscovering the Scottish ancestry,” Lewis said. One way to rediscover this heritage, Lewis continued, is to visit the Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library. Lewis noted that the library has a subscription to www.ancestry.com, which could allow locals to check out their ancestry. “You have to stay in the library to use it, but you can utilize their subscription,” Lewis said. She added that the colony has been creating a display celebrating Scottish heritage in the window of the library. Scottish Heritage, Lewis said, runs deep in Eureka Springs. She recalled visiting the city
before moving here and realizing all the community’s ties to Scotland. “I thought, ‘Wait a minute. We have the Highlander Community Center and the Highlanders are our high school mascot.’ We have standing stones in the music park downtown, plus we have a miniature Stonehenge musical piece right in the heart of our town,” Lewis said. “We have the mystic,” she continued. “We have the magic in our town, but this story hasn’t been told since I’ve been here in a clear way.” Linda Caldwell, director of the Writers’ Colony, said there are several other upcoming events celebrating Scottish heritage. Some of these events, Caldwell said, are inspired by the Outlander series. These events include a workshop on writing romance, a workshop on polishing world-building skills, a game night, a kilt and knee contest, the Ozark Highland Story Fest and the colony’s regular Poetluck meetings.

Purple Flower hosts domestic violence support group By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
If you’ve been affected by domestic violence, The Purple Flower is here for you. The domestic violence resource office began offering a support group for anyone affected by abuse in February. Linda Maiella, who works with The Purple Flower, said the support group meets from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on the first and third Thursdays of the month at the Berryville Community Center. Licensed clinical social worker Ann Helmer facilitates the group. Maiella thanked Helmer for her work, saying her contribution makes the support group run seamlessly. Barb Mourglia, who also works with The Purple Flower, agreed that Helmer is an important part of the group. “She’s very experienced, and it’s a confidential, safe environment,” Mourglia said. The support group, Mourglia noted, is open to anyone who would like to attend. She acknowledged that it can be difficult for some people who have experienced domestic violence to seek help in this manner, saying the support group is there to help those affected by abuse speak out. “It’s very healing to share your story in this safe environment and to be surrounded by people you can relate to. It brings you out of that feeling of being isolated in it,” Mourglia said. “I just think there’s

so much healing in being able to get that out of you.” Maiella agreed. The point of the support group, she said, is to empower those affected by domestic violence. “We want to empower women to make peace with that thing that happened to them, that it’s OK and you’re not alone,” Maiella said. Those who share their story within the support group, Maiella said, could help empower others stuck in difficult situations. “If it’s something that happened to you a while back, come and share your story and let it help somebody who’s in crisis now. That’s the whole idea of a support group— you’re there to support each other,” Maiella said. Mourglia pointed out how the support group could help someone who is planning to leave an abusive relationship. “Leaving is a process, and this is such a huge tool whether you’re in the process of leaving or you’re beyond it. It’s such a long process,” Mourglia said. In the support group, Maiella said confidentiality is key. “Confidentiality means we’re not talking about this anywhere outside of this room. What happens in this room stays in this room,” Maiella said. For more information on the support group, call The Purple Flower at 479-9811676.

T
Purrfect companion
he first time I met BJ in July 2004, he didn’t want to interact with me at all. He hid behind the cage he was being kept in at the local humane society. Unlike the other cats surrounding him, BJ didn’t cry out to me or claw at his cage. He just sat there, a yellow and orange blob of fur, gazing up at me and my mom with his terribly sad green eyes. I wanted to reach out and grab him to my chest, to tell him that I understood how he was feeling. “I don’t feel very good, either,” I wanted to tell him. “Maybe we can make each other feel better.” The sadness in his eyes resonated so deeply with me, because I’d spent the last two months feeling heartbroken and confused. Earlier that summer, my grandfather had shot himself after years of fighting cancer. Our beloved family dog, Roscoe, died a day before that, and my Uncle Terry committed suicide a week later. If that weren’t enough, my nana’s dog was stolen and my black and white tabby Baby disappeared. Mom found Baby’s remains a month or so after Papaw Jimmie died; she refused to answer my questions about what happened to him but later admitted he was probably killed by a wild animal. Understandably, I fell apart. Mom didn’t know what to do. How do you console a 12-year-old who has lost her grandfather in such a terrible way? What do you do when all your pets start dying or disappearing soon after that? Nothing she could have done would have helped our family heal from all that pain immediately, but being surrounded by a bunch of kittens certainly made it easier on that day in July. We perused through the cats, saying “hi” to them and letting them know that they’d find a good home even if we didn’t pick them. I have no idea why I thought — and still think — cats can understand English, but it definitely runs in my family. Once we saw BJ, my heart dropped a little. He wasn’t like the other cats, and I liked that about him. He was a tiny little orange-yellow guy, small enough to hold between two cupped hands. I picked him,
and Mom asked if I wanted to look around a little more before making a final decision. “No,” I said. “I want that one.” We brought him home, where he adjusted quickly. To my delight, that quiet yellow tabby turned out to be the most loving, sweetest cat I’ve ever had. As he grew older, he became Samantha Jones more and more affectionate toward me and my mom. He didn’t get upset when we moved from house to house and city to city, snuggling up to us wherever we ended up. When I was in college, I left him home with my mom. Those four years without him were probably the saddest years of my life; you really don’t realize how comforting your pets are until you have to live without them. Fortunately, BJ and I reunited when I graduated from college in 2014. That was when he met Gideon. BJ took quickly to Gideon, happily relaxing on his shoulders within three hours of meeting him. Those shoulders became a permanent home for BJ when Gideon and I took him with us to Eureka Springs in the summer of 2014. I’ve had BJ for almost 12 years now. When I get home at night, I always give him a big hug and tell him how much I love him. I know he doesn’t understand what I’m saying, but I wish he did. I wish he had even an inkling of all he’s done for me. He came into my life when I didn’t think I’d ever smile again, and now I smile at least once a day because of him. He’s one of my best friends, and he doesn’t even know it. ••• Samantha Jones is associate editor for Carroll County Newspapers. Her email address is Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com.

Resurfaced track brings events to ES schools By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Eureka Springs High School is back on track. Because its track was resurfaced last fall, the school hosted a track event this past weekend. The event, coach Adam Brothers said, was a success. One pole vaulter from another school, Brothers noted, jumped two feet higher than at other tracks. “Everybody was bragging on it, saying the surface was great to run on. That’s the first state qualifying meet we’ve had here in probably 10 years, and they said it was great,” Brothers said. Brothers remembered how the track was last year at this time, saying it would have been impossible to host an event on that surface. At that time, Brothers said the track wasn’t level.
“The resurfacing of the track wasn’t good at all. It was worth the wait, because the track is really great to run on now,” Brothers said. Brothers described other renovations made to the school’s athletic facilities, including repainting the press boxes, the concession stand and various signs. Principal Kathryn Lavender said the area looks much better. “Our maintenance crew has been doing a lot of the work themselves,” Lavender said. Lavender pointed out how the resurfaced track will help the school in the future. At past events, she said, small schools like Eureka Springs have had to use tracks from other schools to hold events. “This is such an advantage to be able to have a track such as ours, because
our students will be able to participate on their home field,” Lavender said. The new track hasn’t just been useful for the school’s athletes. Brothers explained that it has been used by students throughout the school in physical education classes. “Even the elementary classes go down there and run on it,” Brothers said. The resurfaced track, he continued, has been very helpful to his students who do practice on it. “It means a lot to the kids, because those kids get out there and they work hard in the classroom, and I think they really deserve something they can be proud of,” Brothers said. Lavender agreed, thanking the school district for its support on these projects. “I appreciate the fact that our district Photo by David Bell stepped up and we did finally get those The Eureka Springs High School track is resurrenovations done,” Lavender said. faced and ready for athletic events.

The Natural Way How to protect yourself from summer critters We all deal with patterns that are predictable such as colds and flu in the winter, allergies in both the spring and fall and chiggers, ticks or skeeters and Brown Recluse bites in the summer. This year, things are happening sooner. I’m already seeing spider bites, poison ivy and lots of tick bites. We are smack dab in the middle of the part of the country where the Brown Recluse prefers to live. They jump, land and inflict a nasty bite. The ground zero of the bite often turns black as the skin dies. A large, red circular welt rings the black center. Many times without good first aid, the infection from the bite can last for weeks or months. In diabetics, this can be very dangerous because of blood flow problems if bitten on an extremity. If attended to right away, there usually isn’t much of a problem. I’ve seen people take good care of themselves by putting an herbal plaster of basil, feverfew and witch hazel directly on the bite secured with a bandage, taking enteric coated garlic supplements and, of course, boosting the immune system with Astragalus or a standardized Echinacea.

At a certain point, medical care is a necessity. Suggestions for poison ivy include the homeopathic Rhus Tox X6 and baking soda as a powder to dry the blisters. A Jewelweed wash found in specially made lye soap is great. Tepid showers (no baths) and application of an anti-itch herbal rounds out the suggestions. If the exposure is severe or in a delicate part of the body, prompt medical care is a very good thing. I had to call Texas early this year to order Cactus Juice so I can be ready for chigger/tick and skeeter season. I found this product many years ago and it has proved itself as a great product to be used during crawly and flying biter season. This is one of the only natural products that works as well if not better than the big brand names. I can’t tell you legally it effectively repels all of those miserable many-leggeds. But it is DEET free, completely safe and I don’t get bitten at all when I use it and neither do other people.
these repairs, Jankowski said the board relied on donations and a loan. “We took out a loan to fix the place up and make it better, because we are the only humane society in Carroll County. We’re a no-kill, nonprofit animal shelter. We live by donations,” Jankowski said. These changes, he noted, have been hugely successful so far. “You can visually see it. I know there’s been a lot of talk, but we have been focusing on what’s best for the
Aries: You won’t have that deep, dark secret for long if you keep blabbing about it on Internet message boards. Spill the beans a few more times and you’ll end up canned on Dateline like a fart in the dark. Taurus: The universe can lead you to water, but you won’t take a sip. Might be easier, though, because karma will keep dragging you behind that jet ski until you open your mouth. Gemini: No one said life would be easy, and if they did, you have a free pass to kick them in the shins. Occasionally life does grow some love handles, which makes it more convenient to pick up and vacuum underneath. Cancer: You don’t need the whole picture in order to take action. All you need is a piece of the puzzle, preferably a corner. You can assemble the rest on the way to victory. Leo: Sometimes lightening your load doesn’t mean losing weight, it just means dropping some of that baggage. You’ll be
quicker, leaner and happier, and those abs from carrying it around all these years will draw attention. Virgo: Everyone thinks you wear rose-colored glasses, but they don’t know those specs are hiding your bloodshot eyes. Quit straining for the long view while you’re deep in your cups; your trouble will be cut in half if you’re not seeing double. Libra: That job means as much to you as a bad case of poison ivy. Good news! There’s a solution for it, although you’ll be itching to go for a while. Wait a few days until opportunity shows up with the ointment. Scorpio: Some days you’re the wolf, some days you’re the grandma, but you never get to be Little Red Riding Hood. Friday, snap on that cape, because it’s your turn to skip merrily through the forest. Pack a chainsaw with those cupcakes and you won’t need a woodsman to rescue you. Sagittarius: If your flag has been flying half-

Jankowski said the shelter is also looking to complete the meet and greet room, hoping to build the fenced-in area behind it. To do this, Jankowski said the shelter

mast, take heart; l y a friendBoy Scout offers to put some starch in your fabric. Check his I.D. to make sure he’s grown, and let him scale your flagpole. Capricorn: It’s not your brain power sending you to the Big Leagues, it’s your weird personality. Sometimes you’re right, sometimes you’re wrong, but you’re always interesting. Aquarius: Time to flex those muscles. Karma usually makes you move a few couches for other folks before giving you your own sweet digs. Don’t argue when you’re wrestling a divan up three flights of stairs, just think of the dream room that awaits you. Pisces: Success is like riding a bicycle; you may never forget how it’s done, but you’re still going to fall over and skin your knee a few times. Slap on a helmet and keep pedaling.
could use more volunteers. The shelter has only eight employees, and the people on the board of directors are all volunteers. “We want and need more board members who are going to help. Prospective board members attend meetings once a month and also volunteer time at the shelter or with grant writing and fundraising,” Jankowski said. To volunteer at GSHS, call the shelter at 479-253-9188.
