The Muttman Cometh Showman brings ‘Kung Fu Diva’ to dog training, Eureka Springs By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
As an entertainer, Stacy Moore has trained almost every kind of animal. In addition to his performing dog act, “Moore’s Madcap Mutts,” he’s had a comedy act with a mule and one with a pig, and an act where a pigeon flew around to music. He has helped train elephants, bears and camels for television, movies, fairs, rodeos and circuses. He’s even worked with a hippopotamus. “I’ve trained everything but fish,” he said, referring to dolphins and aquatic mammals. Next week, Moore, a.k.a. “The Muttman,” will be town to lead dog training sessions, with 25 percent off the top going to the Good Shepherd Humane Society. It’s his way of paying back all those years of service by his canine performers, all rescue dogs he adopted from shelters. “He would go around to the dog shelters and pick out dogs for the show,” said Mike Bishop, a performer who is also director of the Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce. “In the act, he’d introduce them and tell where they were from.” Moore and his mutts retired from show business in 2006. When the last canine members of the act passed away, he started doing fundraisers for humane societies. But in their heyday, Moore and his Madcap Mutts performed at eight of the top theme parks, he said in a phone interview from his home in Florida, including Disneyland, Disney World, SeaWorld, Six Flags and Busch Gardens. His favorite venue, however, was Dogpatch USA, where he met Mike and Dale Bishop, the talent coordinators there, in the 1980s. When Moore told Mike Bishop that he was coming to Arkansas to conduct dog training sessions and look up old friends, Mike asked if he’d do some here. Bishop, who headlines the show at Pine Mountain Theater with spouse Dale Bishop, said he was disappointed to learn that Moore was no longer touring with the dog act. Also billed as “Moore’s Mess o’ Mutts,” it featured dogs standing on tightropes, dogs
diving through hoops, and dogs climbing ladders and jumping off. “It was fabulous,” Bishop said of the show, which he saw in Vegas when he and Dale were performing at the Nevada Palace. In addition to appearing at theme parks, Moore and his mutts had their own show in Las Vegas for 10 years, and also performed with big-name entertainers at casinos, corporate parties, and on television. Moore also had his own theater in Branson, Jumping Jack’s Variety, for a few years. In 2001, he and spouse Rhonda Visingard moved to Orlando, Fla., to be near her father. Visingard is a third-generation show- business animal trainer. Her father had a comedy horse act, Gaylord Maynard and Chief Bear Paw, that appeared at the Arabian Nights Dinner Theater. Maynard trained the horse, Chief Bear Paw, to appear drunk. “He was one of a kind, a true comedian,” Moore said of his father-in-law. Moore’s own family’s roots in show business go back to 1932, when an uncle, Sonny Moore, started a dog act. When Sonny was drafted, his brother Dwight and Moore’s father took over the show. Sonny helped lead the 6th Army through the Philippines. When he came back from the war, the dog act wouldn’t support three people, so each brother started his own, Moore said, then branched out to the next generation. Moore was born into the business – “in a trunk” as he puts it – and grew up knowing all the television and movie animal trainers, including Glen Randall. “He was the premier horse trainer in Hollywood,” Moore said. “He trained the chariot horses for “Ben Hur,” Trigger, the Black Stallion, etc. He taught me that animal training is about communication with the animal and learning to speak its language.” For dogs, communication is primarily by scent and sight, he said, meaning body language is more important than verbal commands. Animals also pick up vibrations – it’s how they know an earthquake or storm is coming. In humans, emotions emit energy in
Stacy Moore and his daughter Davina Sherman backstage at Excalibur in Las Vegas
the form of vibrations, which the dog reads. That’s why dog training requires an attitude; he calls it “Kung Fu Diva.” “You have to be calm like Shaolin priest, and come from a relaxed state of mind,” he said, “and you have be like a diva, who knows what she wants and expects to get it.” Dogs who have been abused or not socialized into the rules of the pack respond to human and canine interaction by getting into an excited state of mind, Moore said. What he does is block that response and bring the dog back to a calm state of mind, then teach the owner how to do it. “When you do that, all the problems dissipate,” he said. Moore said his dream is to launch a “K9 Impossible” training tour in which he trains 100 people and 100 dogs in four days. For now, his sessions are limited to 12 dog/ owner teams unless he recruits helpers. He will lead workshops in Eureka Springs on Wednesday, April 30, and Saturday, May 3, at 10 a.m. at Pine Mountain Theater parking lot. Cost for the threee-hour session is $75 for one dog/one owner; $100 for one dog/ two owners, and $125 for two dogs/two owners. To register, go to themuttman.com. This week, Moore is giving training sessions at the Harrison fairgrounds as a fundraiser for the Ozark Humane Society. He also offers private lessons in homes through May 7. To see “Gaylord Maynard and Chief Bear Paw perform their Comedy Drunken House Act,” on youtube, go to that video, subtitled
“The Big Debut, Part 2.” The drunken horse act starts three and half minutes into the video.

Re-imagining downtown Street-scapers offer ideas for Main Street By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
They are as simple as adding a splash of color to the steps, screening off parking lots with a few planters, drawing people down a street by putting up a piece of sculpture. On Thursday night, Randy Wilson, along with Brad Jordan and Mason Toms of Main Street Arkansas, presented low-budget ideas for making Eureka’s twomile stretch of Main Street more inviting to visitors. The most amazing before-and-after visual: creating a second “gateway” to the city at the bottom of Planer Hill by building a stacked-stone planter that follows the curve of the parking lot between Main and Armstrong. The planter, with “Welcome to Eureka Springs” on it, would emphasize that Main Street splits off to the left, underlined by crosswalks that an arrow pointing to downtown, Jordan said. Wilson said he didn’t want to be perceived as the “expert from out of town,” but was offering suggestions. Other low-cost ideas: painting the cement staircases between Main Street to Spring, either in solid colors or a pattern. Something he did strongly recommend: that every staircase have a crosswalk at the bottom so that pedestrians aren’t decanted right into traffic. Wilson has worked with more than 200 Main Street communities, analyzing the existing street-scape, making suggestions and giving examples of what other communities
have done. For his Eureka Springs visit, Wilson and his team arriving at 3 p.m. last Wednesday, then walked Main Street with Eureka Springs Downtown Network director Jacqueline Wolven from the entrance to the city at the Highway 62 intersection to the railroad depot at the north end, and back to the middle. That evening, Wilson and his team met with business owners and other Main Street stake-holders to discuss ideas and dreams. On Thursday, they held a public presentation where they showed “before and after” slides of places that could use improvement. “All we do is put some illustrations to what you told us,” Wilson said. He and his team also suggested minimizing gaps between buildings on Main Street by creating visual walls, which could consist of a few planters with trees, a bench and piece of sculpture. Gaps between buildings discourage people from continuing down a city street, Wilson said. More ambitious ideas: framing the staircase entrances with arches matching the one at Basin Park, signed with the street where the staircase leads. Marking the staircase entries would emphasize the connection between Main Street and Spring, Wilson said. Creating a sense of a ceiling or perceived canopy over the staircases would make them even more user-friendly. Wilson and his team also showed examples of non-conventional benches, and suggested indigenous material combined with whimsical designs that would match Eure-

ka’s ambiance. They also showed examples of parking-lot buffers, including planter walls, slat walls and translucent screens. Tapping into the art community for outdoor sculpture or interactive art installations placed at intervals down Main would draw the visitor down the street, Toms said, noting that the city of Paris is designed so that a landmark is visible in the distance wherever you are, motivating you to walk towards it. As an example of how one city transformed their downtown, Wilson showed photos of Greenville, S.C., which started out with two simple ideas 25 years ago: offer ive music once a week in a hotel courtyard from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., and putting a bronze sculpture of a children’s book on the courtyard fountain and a dozen bronze mice along Main Street for children to discover. The concert was timed to end when people would be looking for a place to eat or drink. Greenville now has more 75 restaurants on Main Street and live music seven night a week, Wilson said. Private investment in the downtown area followed, to the tune of $4 billion in 2013. Wilson is president of Community Design Solutions in Columbia, S.C., director of design services for Mississippi Main Street and the consulting architect to Main Street South Carolina. A second public presentation is planned by the Eureka Springs Downtown Network. Wilson’s part in the “Reimagine Main Street” project was funded by E.S.D.N. in partnership with Main Street Arkansas.

ES schools applying for $223K in internet funds By Kathryn Lucariello
CCNhi@cox-internet.com
EUREKA SPRINGS – If its application is approved, the Eureka Springs School System stands to receive $223,000 from fees collected by companies providing telecommunications services, to help school districts improve internet connectivity, known as “E-rate.” Superintendent David Kellogg said at the April 17 board meeting that the district would be applying for Priority 2 level of funding. Last year the state legislature approved a $5 million matching grant program. “We will get $223,000’ worth of services for $45,000,” he told the board. “This is the first time we have applied for Priority 2.” The funding amount is determined by the level of poverty and the urban/rural status of the population served. Funding can be from 20 to 90 percent. “We’re hiring CPAs to do the application,” Kellogg said. Information Technology Director Pat Todd said the district will be able to go from 15 Mb/s to 100 Mb/s. “The money will be used to upgrade infrastructure throughout the school district, especially in wi-fi,” he said.
In other business, the board: • Approved a motion to expel a student for 365 days from the date of a “situation” the student was involved in, Kellogg said. The board was handed a written description of the situation, which was not furnished to the press, and Kellogg said the parents are not objecting to the expulsion. “They asked the student not be identified in a public meeting,” he said. • Approved the 2014-15 calendar, which has seven days set aside for school closure due to adverse weather. Two of the days are Martin Luther King Day and Presidents’ Day. • Approved a payment of $5,898.93 to the law firm Hatfield & Sayre to continue work on the lawsuit against the state over return of tax monies. • Approved a senior class trip to Branson, Mo. • Approved accepting the resignations of fourth-grade teacher Kim Huddleston, cafe worker Gayle Hull and building trades teacher David Morrell as of June 30; and the resignation of cafe worker Pam Levering as of April 18. • Approved the hiring of Lance Wildeman and John McBryde as substitute teachers, pending background checks.

Eureka Springs High School’s Skills USA team brought home three gold medals and two bronze from state competition in Hot Springs last week. Taking bronze were Sarah Andress and Dallas Galyen for their presentation, “Skills USA is the compass that guides us through rough waters.” Building Trades students built a model ship illustrating the talk. ESHS senior Kellie Crawford took first place in the masonry competition. Her brother, Austin Crawford, took gold in plumbing. Both completed hands-on projects, Kellie’s brick-laying and Austin a water line and drains. Brianna Birchfield took first place in advanced first aide and CPR, which combined a written test and a practical, responding to a diabetic emergency and an injury with lacerations, and demonstrating CPR for adults, children and infants.

Family and friends of Happy and Jo Jones gathered at the top of Passion Play Road Saturday morning to honor them and remember Happy, who passed last year. Among the group were their sons, David Jones of Springdale and Dwayne Jones of Aurora, Mo. Helping with the placement of a memorial bench were the couple’s grandchildren, a 15-month-old great-granddaughter, Finley, and family friends. The memorial bench is a gift from the family to Wanderlust RV Park, where Happy and Jo lived and worked starting in the mid 1990s, staying on as campground hosts through three different owners. Jo worked behind the scenes, while Happy was the face of Wanderlust and well known around Eureka Springs. According to the staff, guests at Wanderlust still ask for him when they check in, and many a canine visitor to the park have been seen checking for Happy in all the passing golf carts, looking for a pat on the head and a treat from their ol’ buddy. The public is invited to visit the memorial bench and take a trip down Memory Lane.

Eureka Springs senior inks deal to play basketball at college level By Chan Davis
CCNsports@cox-internet.com
Ryan Sanchez has accepted a basketball scholarship to continue his career at the college level with Avila University, a private Catholic-based college south of Kansas City, Mo. Sanchez signed the dotted line in front of family and friends at Full Faith Ministries last Thursday evening. “We are going to eat a big brisket meal that my dad prepared and all my mentors are going to talk,” Sanchez said before the event. “It’s going to be great. We are going to watch videos of me then I get to end it all with a good speech and then my signing.” Sanchez earned the highest-paid offer Avila coach Rodney Perry issued this year in order to improve over last year’s 6-21 record, the lowest win total in Perry’s fouryear tenure. Perry said Sanchez would be expected
to push for a starting position for a team that has only two seniors. He believes in Sanchez’s ability enough to shell out ample funds to land the talented point guard. “He has received the most out of everyone we are bringing in,” Perry said. “I look for great character kids on and off the floor, as well as academics and an understanding of what this is all about. Ryan has a great personality and follows that up with his work ethic.” Brian Rambo, who coached Sanchez during his senior campaign at Eureka Springs, said Sanchez had every tool to be successful at the next level. “Ryan Sanchez is a champion,” Rambo said. “That’s the bottom line. The way he approaches his classwork and his community work he’s a winner. Everything he has ever done is first class. He’s a natural-born leader.” Sanchez averaged 20.1 points per game
as a senior for the Highlanders after playing at Bentonville during his sophomore and junior campaign. While Sanchez grew up in Eureka Springs, he said it was his two years at Bentonville where he matured. “I was just another kid out of 4,000 students and I had to prove myself every day,” Sanchez said. “I had to prove I could play and study and make good grades. The coaches there put me in the system and gave me a great opportunity.” But Sanchez wanted to graduate with his friends at Eureka Springs. So he opted to return to Carroll County for his senior season. “I wanted to finish my senior year where it all started,” he said. “I had no regrets coming back. And I wanted to graduate with my best friend, Jake McClung. I missed it. I am not going to lie about it. I missed it.” And Sanchez will miss the school, church and community he spent the bulk of his days as a youth. But Perry needs a point guard. And he thinks Sanchez is the man to fill that role. “The point guard has to be an extension of the coach,” Perry said. “I have to have someone who acts like me and things like me. I think he’s the guy that’s gong to be able to come in and do those things.” Perry said he was going to place more stock in Sanchez than he realized. “I told him I was going to give him the keys to my car,” Perry jokingly quipped. “And I have a BMW and I am very protective of it.” Perry is putting a lot of weight on Sanchez’s shoulders as a freshman. “I am not afraid to do that,” Perry said. “He was brought up as a freshman here. He has been in this situation before. When players have been in that situation before they have learned from that experience already. I think he will come in and do wonders for us. I expect him to come in and compete for a starting position.” Sanchez has aspirations of obtaining a degree in kinesiology from Avila with long-term goals of becoming a coach.

Ryan Sanchez accepted a scholarship to play college basketball at Avila University in Kansas City.
“I am going to be around this game the rest of my life,” Sanchez said. “This is what I love to do. I want to have an impact on people the way people have had an impact on me.” And who had the greatest impact on Sanchez? His father, Toby, pastor at Full Faith Ministries. “My dad has been there every weekend since I was in about the second grade,” Sanchez said. “We have worked out every Saturday for two to four hours since then. And we didn’t miss many days. We might have to go to a birthday party or something. But we didn’t miss much.” Sanchez will start working out with the Eagles in June. Avila University is part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.

Taking it to the next level
Comstock signs letter of intent with Allen Community College By Chan Davis
CCNsports@cox-internet.com
With a smile on her face, Haley Comstock signed the dotted line Thursday afternoon at Highlander Arena, inking a deal to continue her basketball career at Allen Community College in Iola, Kan. With pride in her voice, Lady Highlanders coach Jamie Green introduced Comstock to the family and friends gathered to witness the affair. With tears in her eyes, Carrie Gay, Comstock’s mother, watched the episode unfold. And while a rousing round of applause ushered out Comstock’s tenure, the senior multi-sport star left an indelible mark on the grounds at Eureka Springs. “We are so thankful for the support from our family here at Eureka Springs,” Green told the gathering of adoring Comstock fans. “All the support she has had we are very, very grateful for. You are all part of our extended family.” Comstock has been a fixture at Eureka Springs, playing basketball, volleyball and softball for the Lady Highlanders. And while her athletic ability led her to a scholarship, the first by a female basketball player at Eureka Springs in six years, her devotion to the school separated her from the rest of the field. Comstock was generally the loudest fan in the stands when she wasn’t participating. She led cheers for the boy’s basketball team, was engaged in other sports whether she was playing or not, and was even caught raking the sand pit at a track event. “Hats off to Haley Comstock,” Green said. “She is one of the best leaders I have ever coached in the community and on the basketball floor. Today is her day.” Comstock will play in the Jayhawk Conference for Allen Community College. The Red Devils are coached by Katie Mahoney. Mahoney posted a 7-23 record in her first season.

This would not be happening without them.” Comstock averaged five points per game during her senior campaign at Eureka Springs. Those numbers will

likely escalate at the college level. Green will work with the talented post player this summer in preparation for the college game. “Coach Green said there are going to be times I am going to want to quit,” Comstock said. “I think with the help of Coach Green I will get there. She’s going to work with me this summer and have some players come in and take me through workouts to get ready. I am going to be a different person. I am not going to be the same Haley Comstock.” One thing that will have an impact on Comstock is a better understanding of independence. “She is going to have to learn how to take the lessons we’ve taught her and apply them when no one is looking,” Gay said. “She is now her own fallback. She has a goal. And she will meet her goals. She is going to be something.” Comstock has aspirations of becoming a registered nurse, a challenging venture with loads of schoolwork on top of her responsibilities to the team. Gay has no doubts those dreams will become reality. “I want everyone to know how hard she works,” Gay said. “She puts everything she has to do above herself. Her work ethic is amazing, not only in sports but in employment and academics. I want everyone to know how truly amazing she is.” With only a month remaining in her prep career, Comstock is making the most of every moment, creating memories she will cherish forever, all the while looking ahead. “I am ready for the future,” Comstock said. “I am ready to be up there in this league and see what I can do for myself out of the realm of Eureka Springs High School.” Editor’s note: This report originally appeared in our sister paper, the Carroll County News, in the April 11 Weekend edition.

SWEPCO: A pattern of deception
W
hy would SWEPCO hide the terms of the Easement Agreement and its plans to use helicopters to build the transmission line? Deception has been the SWEPCO trademark ever since April 3, 2013, when they lied on their APSC application about having mailed notifications to all landowners using tax records. If you had a contract to build a transmission line with a firm deadline, and you had to wait for approvals and permits, would you use small equipment to carefully mulch the trees and preserve the soil, or would you use bulldozers and helicopters with giant rotary blades to take them down and burn them onsite? Last week Peter Main said in a newspaper article by Becky Gillette that there are no plans at this time to use helicopters to build the line. “For line construction, use of helicopters can have less impact on the ground than other equipment and may be necessary or better suited for some locations,” Main said. “We have not determined whether they would be used in construction of the Shipe Road-Kings River line.” What is undeniable is what AEP is doing in Dublin, Ohio, using helicopters to add a second circuit to an existing line. Helicopters will change the tourist game. How long would restaurants, resorts, wildlife attractions, the Great Passion Play and other tourist destinations stay open if tourists decide to stay away? How many events like the Corvette weekend will be postponed? If they go to another location, will they come back? In Dublin, Ohio, residents were unaware and surprised to hear helicopters. Noise complaints have been filed with the city of Dublin by stay-at-home residents due to the constant noise. For the video, please Google “10 TV helicopters AEP Ohio Dublin.” That project timeline is February to late June, weather permitting.
The existing towers were designed to accommodate a second circuit that will mirror the existing conductors; the second circuit is being installed using helicopters. “AEP reports this method of installation has the lowest impact on resident landscapes,” according to news reports. They don’t mention the noise or the public health hazards! The city of Dublin and AEP caution residents to stay clear of areas while cable is being installed. Helicopters will “only” fly during daylight hours between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., when weather conditions are favorable. AEP plans to work six days a week. It may be necessary for them to work on Sundays depending on the overall progress, reports have said. AEP says it has has notified residents immediately adjacent to the transmission line where the work will take place. When complete, the new line will stretch approximately 10 miles. Public Health Hazards Loud noise, rotor-blade wind, dust and the potential for accidents while helicopters build the Shipe Road-Kings River line for three years is unacceptable in populated areas. If you think the SWEPCO line will not impact you or your property because you are not traversed, think again. Several people have died in transmission line helicopter crashes, three people in Colorado alone just this past January. Please Google “power line helicopter crashes.” What is most disturbing through this process is that we are not getting support from our public officials, or the Arkansas Public Service Commission. SWEPCO is the intruder, trespassing and raping the countryside. We need all hands on deck; do not leave it up to Save the Ozarks or anyone else. Keep supporting STO, but do your share.

Citizen of the Week In honor of Earth Day, which was Tuesday this week, this edition’s Citizen of the Week is someone who has helped Eurekans make Earth-friendly choices more than anyone else in the area we know of: Jerry Landrum. Jerry – who is also the nicest guy you’ll probably ever meet – brings his giant solar panels to power the Eureka Springs Farmers’ Market each week, and he happily answers any questions visitors may have about solar energy. He’s also solar energy’s best spokesman in the county, helping homeowners like Dr. Luis Contreras and Michael and Faith Shah learn about solar panels, choose the correct ones for their needs, and even install them in some cases. Jerry also is head of the Eureka Springs Climate Action Progress Committee, which has pushed for “green” policies at the city government level, with some success. The Committee’s website at https://sites.google.
com/site/esclimateaction/home/ take-action offers educational links to help the everyday citizen begin to change their energy habits economically and easily. We encourage you to help Jerry – and the rest of us worried about Mother Earth’s future – breathe a little easier by taking steps during this Earth Month to be better stewards of our natural resources. Thanks for all you do, Jerry!

I just don’t understand vandalism at all. Holiday Island can boast about no crime, but in reality, there is on-going criminal activity happening routinely at the Veterans Memorial Park. The park is located adjacent to the Elks Lodge on Parkcliff Drive. This awesome park is home to a veterans’ wall of honor, a statue honoring veterans, a playground, an amphitheater, an exercise area and a pavilion. All of these were donated by local people who want to make the Veterans Memorial Park a special place for everyone to enjoy. Personally, I would like to thank all those who contributed to make this park a special place. The problem is that some people obviously don’t appreciate it the way most of us do. American Legion Post 36 maintains the park area. The Post provides cleaning of the restrooms, the pavilion area and trash hauling. Most every month during our meeting at Post 36, it is mentioned that the park area has been vandalized again – fans get broken, restrooms are trashed and people are bringing their personal trash (including discarded appliances) and dumping it in the trashcan.
I can’t tell you how many times we have had to replace the fans, have had to clean feces off the restroom walls and floors, pick up broken and discarded beer bottles and haul away someone else’s trash. This is absolutely ridiculous! What gives people the right to desecrate anything, much less a veterans park? Nothing, absolutely nothing gives these mutants the right to do this! Members of our post make it a priority to drive by the area whenever we can to help prohibit this activity, but as you have just read, we can’t overcome it on our own. This is where the public comes in. I would ask that anytime you are in the area of the Park to drive by to see if there is any of this activity going on. If you see it, report it! I am also asking that the new sheriff’s deputy assigned to Holiday Island make a point to provide a presence in this area. It is time for grassroots action, folks. Don’t do anything foolish like confronting someone caught in the act – get their license plate number and report it immediately. Please help us keep this wonderful area just that – wonderful! – Robin Lahm Holiday Island

Grace Lutheran pastor retiring after 22 years By Kathryn Lucariello
CCNhi@cox-internet.com
Pastor Kenneth Haydon of Grace Lutheran Church in Holiday Island tried to retire six years ago, but now he is really retiring after 22 years here of a 46-year career in the ministry. “I officially semi-retired back in 2008, but have been serving on contract since then,” he said. Haydon, 71, was born and raised in Iowa. He said his family was always “strong in the church,” with both an uncle and a cousin of his mother’s serving as pastors. Haydon Kenneth Haydon studied for the ministry at the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and started at his first church in July 1968 in Wathena, Kan. He was there for six and a half years and then went to Denison, Iowa, where he served for 17 and a half years. “I came here in 1992 and have been here since,” he said. He also served concurrently at the Lutheran Church in Berryville for a short time. Haydon has been married to Bernadine, or “Bernie,” his second wife, since 2004. His first wife, Janet, whom he met while in seminary, died in 2002. Haydon said he and his church have tried to serve the people here, most of whom are retired, and stay involved in community endeavors. “Grace is best known for the Fall chili supper,” he said. “It was started shortly before I came here. It benefits different organizations.” The church also does the bank parking lot downtown, proceeds from which have gone in the last couple years to the Lutheran campus ministry in Fayette-
ville. “We look at different needs every year and have given money to the Moore, Okla., tornado relief efforts through the LCMS World Relief. They have ways of administering it to get it to people who need it,” he said. “With disaster aid, all the money goes to the cause it’s for, no overhead taken out of it, which is one reason we go through that.” The church has also been heavily involved in the local Food Bank. Haydon said anyone who wants to be a pastor has to have a love for the gospel and an interest in people. Asked what his favorite and least favorite part of pastoring is, he says, “Working with people, which can also be frustrating at times.” But he adds that sharing the gospel with people is fulfilling and helping them through “good times and bad times.” Asked if he has any regrets, Haydon said, “I think everyone has things, looking back, that if you knew then what you know now, you’d do things differently, but I have no major regrets. We all have things we think we could have done better.” He has no major plans for retirement, he said, although he adds with a smile, “I suppose my wife will have some ideas about that.” Haydon said he will continue his work with the Food Bank, as a regular volunteer. He also is willing to fill in for other pastors as needed when they need time away. “We’re planning to stay in the area, so we’ll be involved with the church as members.” A retirement reception for Pastor Haydon has been planned for Wednesday, April 30, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Red Bud Room at the Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center in Eureka Springs. The public is encouraged to drop by to wish him well. Retirement wishes may also be posted online at www.gracelutheranhi. com.

Peine gift will benefit woodworking students
Photos courtesy of Doug Stowe
Buz Peine of Beaver and his brother, Ed Peine, of Houston, Texas, both avid woodturners, have given a gift of two new Oneway lathes to be used in the studio shared by the Clear Spring School and the Eureka Springs School of the Arts. The lathes will be used by students of both schools in the Clear Spring School wood shop. On Thursday, Buz, pictured here, came to the school to demonstrate turning a vessel from green walnut, and gave Clear Spring High School students a turn at the tool. The two new lathes were provided with a selection of chucks, centers and tools rests, adding creative capacity to the lathes already available at the school. Doug Stowe, wood shop teacher at Clear Spring and founding board member of ESSA, said he “had been hoping to upgrade to higher quality, dependable lathes for the woodworking program at both schools.” Stowe extends his personal gratitude for this timely gift.

The Motorhead Artist
TV host from Canada takes crash course in art during Eureka filming, visit By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
For the first episode of “The Motorhead Traveler,” Kevin Cullen traveled to Norway, where he went ATVing above the Arctic circle. Reindeer were running alongside his vehicle, he said, but that’s not what he was excited to talk about when he got back home. What Cullen did say: “Look what I made.” Cullen has now made 76 episodes of “The Motorhead Traveler,” a travel show featuring motor sports that airs on the MAV channel. And in every one, he devotes one day out of three on location working with a master artist. Last week, he was in Eureka Springs, where he spent a day in Jim Nelson’s wood-working studio, making a large wall plaque. It’s a unique spin for a motor sports travel show. “We combine motor sports with food and art,” Cullen said. “On some travel shows, they go into galleries and look at art. I am the only travel journalist that actually makes art.” That started serendipitously on the trip to Alta, Norway, where town leaders wanted Cullen to showcase local art on the how. So they took him to a quarry where stone mason and artisans worked. When he first arrived, Cullen said, he wandered into the gift shop and saw a large stone medallion with a reindeer on it. Thinking it was neat, he turned it over, saw the $350 price tag and put it back. Then a stone mason guided Cullen through the process making a similar medallion, starting with a large block of stone, cutting off a slab, then using a computer to design the motif, sandblast and finishing it. When he completed it, he knew why the medallion cost $350, he said. But the experience went beyond monetary value. “It resonated with me in a way I never expected,” Cullen said. So wherever the show takes him, Cullen chooses an artist to work with – in Eureka Springs, wood artist Jim Nelson, making a large piece of wall art. Cullen said he does realize it’s presumptuous to walk into a studio and

announce that you’re going to make something in a day that it’s taken the artist years to master. But if you put everything else out of your mind and focus on what the artist tells you, following it one step at a time, it’s amazing what you can produce. “It’s more intense than car racing,” he said of his crash courses in art. When he was in Eureka last week, Cullen was wearing some of his creations –- a silver belt buckle, a pair of snakeskin boots and an etched-metal bracelet with the show’s logo on it that he made after driving a NASCAR race car. In Eureka, Cullen went motorcycle riding with Mayor Pate and tried a southern speciality at the Mud Street Cafe, despite doubts. “I hate grits,” he said. “They told me they were going to change my mind. I had the garlic-veggie grits. They shifted my whole grits attitude.” Each Motorhead Traveler episode also features an alternative activity. In Eureka, Cullen and cameraman Aaron Wasylyk visited Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. They had previously been in Homa, Louisiana, Cullen said, where he had kissed three alligators and a snake, but his request to get closer to a tiger was politely turned down. Cullen also spent an afternoon touring Eureka Springs with architect Butch Berry, who gave him a historical view of the town. Cullen said he loves geology, and that Eureka reminds him of Elora, Ontario, where he grew up in. It also had a population of about 2,000 swelled by tourists, drawn by the scenic gorges and art community. A travel journalist for 17 years, Cullen has been all over the world, but found that the number-one experience is the people. He has been to the Arkansas Delta and Hot Springs area before, but not to Eureka Springs. “I feel at home here,” he said. The Eureka Springs episode of “The Motorhead Traveler” will be shown on MAV TV, which airs on Channel 214 on DirectTV and 248 on Dish. For exact date and time, check the mavtv.com website.

Weaver joins yarn shop By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
Debbie Davis fell in love with Swedish-style weaving when she was an art major at the University of Central Oklahoma. She taught art, then became principal of Eureka Springs Elementary School. During her nine years in the job, she collected Scottie dogs, the school mascot. This month, Davis opened a shop that brings together two of her favorite thingss, Scottie dogs and Swedish weaving. Called Red Scottie Fibers, it is located on the mezzanine of Michelle Taylor’s shop on Center Street, Bo Peep Yarn and Antiques, which caters to knitters. “The two really complement each other,” Davis said. Davis sells cotton, line linen, tuna wool and cottolin yarn from Sweden, along with weaving accessories and Glimakra looms from Sweden, both floor and rigid-heddle models. She can teach weaving one-on-one at the shop, she said, and plans to offer group classes when space can be arranged. For the past few years, Davis has been taking classes from Becky Ashenden at her studio, Vavstuga, in Shelburne Falls, Mass. “I can do all types of weaving, but the traditional Swedish weaves are my favor-
ite,” she said. A Eureka resident since 1990, Davis was the principal of Eureka Spring Elementary School from 1995 to 2004, then principal of a school in Springdale. In 2007, she became director of the Arkansas Leadership Academy at the University of Arkansas, a job she held for seven years before retiring. After moving back to Eureka, she was elected to the school board. Davis has two looms in her house on the upper historic loop, which was on the Preservation Society’s Holiday Tour of Homes last December. At the shop, she sells her handwoven table linens and wool rugs,which are displayed on the main floor of Bo Peep Yarn and Antiques. Like knitting and crocheting, weaving is a creative outlet that produces something useful. “It’s fun to design and see something come to life under your hands,” Davis said. “It’s an art that needs to be passed on.” Davis said Taylor is guiding her in her first foray into retail business, and she helps staff the counter of the shops, which are open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with longer hours starting in May. For more information, go to the Red Scottie Fibers facebook page.

Rock stars of beading booked for Eureka retreat By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
Three internationally known beaded jewelry designers are scheduled to teach at the Second Annual Beading in the Ozarks Retreat Aug. 14 through Aug. 17. Organized by Jeannine Rainone of Beaver Lake, the retreat is held at the Inn of the Ozarks Conference Center. Participants spend a day with each of the three designers. This year, they are Laura McCabe, winner of the 2013 Saul Bell jewelry design competition; Sherry Serafini, voted one of the top 10 instructors in the country by “Bead and Button” magazine, and Maggie Meister, who teaches work-
shop in Turkey, Germany and Italy, where she moved in 1998. Author of “Classical Elegance,” Meister studied mosaics in Ravenna, Italy, and creates beadwork that translates the designs of frescos and mosaics. Serafini is the co-author of “The Art of Bead Embroidery.” Melissa Etheridge, Steven Tyler, Lenny Kravitz and Fergie of Black-Eyed Peas are among the celebrities who wear her beadwork. Laura Jean McCabe has a background in historic costume reproduction and restoration. She combines native American, African and Victorian bead-weaving techniques with modern materials and color
schemes. Beading in the Ozarks showcases new designs that are not found anywhere else, Rainone said, with quality of instruction from master teachers that is second to none. “All who attend will leave with tips and techniques to take their bead weaving to a new level,” she said. Cost for the three-and-a-half day retreat is $645, and includes a full day of class with each teacher, an opening reception and lunch daily. Kits for each project are available to purchase, or participants can request a supply list, available two months before the retreat, and bring their own materials. As of April 15, only 10
spots were left for the retreat, Rainone said. The public is invited to an open house to meet the teachers and see their work on August 17 from noon to 2 p.m. Rainone makes and sells hand-beaded jewelry at Poor Richard’s Art Gallery in Rogers. She also donates dog and cat earrings she makes to area animal clinics to raise money for spay and neutering programs. For more information on Beading In The Ozarks 2014, contact Rainone at 469450-3723, jeannine@beadingintheozarks. com, or visit www.beadingintheozarks. com.

My guest columnist this week is Pat Carr, who has published sixteen books, including the Iowa Fiction Prize winner, The Women in the Mirror, and the PEN Book Award finalist, If We Must Die, and she’s had over a hundred short stories appear in such places as The Southern Review, Yale Review, and Best American Short Stories. Pat will kick off our summer workshop series on Short Fiction with a short story workshop on May 3.

We don’t have Time for Half Truths
of other people’s events, we have to learn about those experiences and those different perspectives from the people who did have them. That’s what stories are for. As far as I’m concerned, the point of literature is to foster understanding of the Other—all those people we’re not—so I want us to hear what all the narrators have to say about what they did or didn’t do, why they did or didn’t do it, what they thought and felt in the process. But with that many stories aching to be told and listened to and understood, each of us has the responsibility to be gut-level honest about our own experiences, so those other people can learn our truths from us as we learn theirs from them. With that many stories waiting to be told and heard and understood, we don’t have time for half truths. Our world has become increasingly fragile because of separations and misunderstanding, and right now it needs our shared wisdom. We must learn to understand and sympathize before it’s too late. In my workshop on May 3, I will cover the A-Z of short stories and you’ll go home with a draft of your own story. We’ll cover all the important elements such as: finding the core incident; making the reader care about your characters; keeping your voice; setting the scene; plotting the story arc; beginning and ending the story; revising and submitting the story.

here are approximately six billion people on earth at the moment, and no two of them have had exactly the same experience. No two people have had exactly the same adventure at the same time in the same place. Like snowflakes, every person is unique. Even if identical twins—going through life looking alike, wearing the same clothes, and being treated the same—seem to have had identical experiences, one was still on the left and one on the right in every instance. They will each have had a different perspective. Since we can’t repeat an exact sequence

Upon a Flying Wallenda Crossing the Grand Canyon For Maxine Kumin By Debbie Quigley-Smith When the dust devils taunted the dare devil with the thought of his great-grandfather’s fall, did he picture the see-through color of the river below or the golden pollen of the hawkweed and bee balm floating in the air? That same week, a flier for Cirque du Soleil fell to her death. As quick as a white shirt on a backyard clothes-line flaps away, her slender arms slipped out of the harness. How should one dress for the Day of Judgment? All of us since Adam standing on one another’s shoulders— acrobats crossing the great divide. Maybe like Wallenda, I’ll kneel on the wire when it vibrates in the wind; unafraid, flying without a net; as Noah’s dove, experienced with expanses, moved by the breath of ancestors and flood urges me across to Paradise.

Friends turn out to help two neighbors in need
A Benefit With Friends was held on Sunday afternoon at Cathouse Lounge / Pied Piper Pub to raise money for two young Eurekans with serious health problems and no income. Both Dylan Sunday and Natasha Engleman are wheelchair-bound and facing more procedures and treatments. The event featured a silent auction, live entertainment with several bands, and even a performance by “Delvis” – who is Dusty Duling channeling the look, sound and spirit of Elvis. Thanks go out to all the sponsors, donors, supporters and the hosts of the day, Fatima and Latigo Treuer, as well as to the organizers, Mary Howze and KD Zelt, among others.

The Natural Way Green foods: Not popular, but good
T
he first time I tried wheat grass juice I thought I was drinking lawn clippings. The scent rapJim Fain idly reduced me to an awkward teenager struggling to push the Sarlo mower through grass that was growing at least an inch an hour. Or so it seemed as the sweet smell of chlorophyll permeated my nose. I hated cutting the lawn back then. I also hated vegetables, especially the green ones in those days. How time changes. It turns out that wheat grass was pretty good for health. Plants are like that especially the green ones. There are many to be found in a vitamin store in the absence of fresh produce. Green Barley grass, Spirolina, Chlorella and BlueGreen algae are common monikers of healthful yet a little strange sounding supplements. These can be found in any form, from tablets to powder. I think the most interesting is the powdered formula products that often have dozens of ingredients including the ones I’ve listed as well as herb blends, enzymes, vegetable blends, fruit blends, mushroom blends and probiotics. This is like a one stop supplement, that is so easy, it’ll remind you of a drive through restaurant. People, most often add this powder to a drink base like juice, water or drink mixed into a smoothie. A big benefit of doing it this way is that you don’t have to swallow even a single pill and you can flavor it with anything you like. A greens powder is a for sure way to get the benefit of those pesky green vegetables without gagging on a lima bean for instance. All are very high in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, many, from whole food sources. Some will contain wheat and soy. Some products are strictly vegetarian while others may not be, so keep an eye on the label. These are green or blue-green foods that can easily ensure you and your family get the daily benefit of a wide range of nature’s healers. When I add the greens powder to yogurt in the blender, I don’t even remember cutting the lawn as a kid. I’m glad for that little bit of grace.
Wisecrack Zodiac Aries: It’s easier to take a gander than endure a goose, but you should still keep your distance from fowl play on Thursday. No golden eggs to see here, move along. Taurus: Two wrongs don’t make a right, but 27 of them will get you a movie deal about your life. Hold out for Nicholas Cage to play you. Whether you’re male or female, it will be worth it. Gemini: Your career is on hold, which wouldn’t be so bad if you had some smooth jazz on the line. Hang up and try a different number. No, those ‘hot chat’ 800 numbers don’t count. Cancer: Success isn’t how you play the game, it’s where you hide all the good pieces. You may not prosper but you’ll have a few laughs while someone searches the couch cushions for the dice. Leo: You’ll put someone’s mind at ease this week when they worry about how they look or sound. Silly underlings, they don’t know it’s all about you. Tell them as long as they make you look good, all is well. Virgo: It’s perfectly acceptable to turn over a new leaf, but there’s no need to go around flipping trees out of the ground. Aim to be a pleasing breeze of change, not a tornado of overcompensation. Libra: Your latest brainstorm could make you a millionaire and save the Post Office, if you can just figure out how to get the tequila to stay fresh on the back of a stamp. Figure that out and you’ll usher in a new age of licking the mail. Scorpio: You’re more confusing than a Gary Busey movie dubbed in Japanese. Stop trying to figure yourself out and just enjoy the weirdness that is you. Sagittarius: The wrong answers hit you on Wednesday, but at least they were driving a scooter instead of a cement truck.

Two regional fave bluegrass bands and hot blues roll into Eureka
T
wo regional favorites – who sit on different ends of the bluegrass genre spectrum – will perform on Saturday evening this weekend, and neither should be missed. First, Cutty Rye, based in Fayetteville, performs at Cathouse/Pied Piper Pub from 8 p.m. to midnight on Saturday. “Cutty Rye is a four-piece band of seriously off-the-wall bluegrass aficionados,” writes Peter Read of Nightflying magazine. “I suspect they can whip the room into a whooping frenzy with their bouncy, almost frantic approach to overall fun music. “Thing is, their musical art seems to be a home-brewed concoction that includes elements from traditional bluegrass, classic rock-n-roll, blues, and even jazz in places. Their first album ‘Half Pack of Chester-
fields’ is a spirited set of rockin’, stompin’, bluegrass tunes guaranteed to get you out of your seat and onto the dance floor.” On the other side of downtown at Chelsea’s Corner Cafe & Bar, nationally known, Eureka Springs-based Mountain Sprout performs beginning around 9:30 p.m. It is Mountain Sprout’s fourth show here with a new fiddler after the departure last fall of longtime member Blayne Thiebaud. (And yes, Blayne is back in town, but he is not going to be playing with the Sprouts, I’m told.) But with a new album just recorded, Mountain Sprout is not slowing down, and the 24-year-old fiddle prodigy who’s just joined the group has proven to be a stellar addition to the band’s alreadytop-notch lineup of musicians. You won’t hear Mountain Sprout cov-
LARGEST SELECTION OF
er old bluegrass standards; but you won’t mind when you hear these humorous story-songs about this group of back-country, pot-smoking, nature-lovin’ good ol’ boys trying to survive life in an unnamed dry county. The Sprouts are a full-time working band and play shows year-round all over the country, including at Wakarusa Music Festival and its younger, smaller sister festival, Yonder Mountain String Band Harvest Fest, also held at Mulberry Mountain Ranch near Ozark. Critics and fans alike adore Mountain Sprout, which also features Grayson Van Sickle playing his machine-gun banjo, singing out a redneck novel of the members’ hilarious lives; guitarist Adam “Chucky Waggs” Wagner, who yanks the melody up by the ear and keeps it kickin’; smilin’ Daniel Redmond, who pulls out cannon-fire notes pounding the stand-up bass; new fiddler Mike Schembre, who you can expect to see loosen up and let go as the night progresses; and Dean Thiebaud, with his silkysmooth, country-tinged, deep vocals and Western finger-picking guitar style.
SUNDAY If you like female vocalists who can wail AND nail their notes -- and send chills down your spine while making your booty shake with the beat -- then you don’t want to miss Moonshine Mafia at Rowdy Beaver Tavern this Sunday, April 27. Moonshine Mafia, based in Hot Springs, will appeal to fans of Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and Adele. It consists of five members and is led by Anna Jordan-Williams on guitar and vocals. The band’s music is very modern-bluesrock with a Southern jam flavor. Jordan-Williams moved back to Arkansas with her band about three years ago from Dallas, where she’d been for about two decades. While there, she opened for such acts as Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Radney Foster, Texas country heartthrob Deryl Dodd and blues legend Gerry Moss and opened for several major country and rock artists ranging from Little Big Town to Uncle Kracker.

Houston, her experience and popularity there led to many touring opportunities in the United States and internationally. Prior to returning to Arkansas, Jordan-Williams was a full-time musician, spending much of her time as a vocal and instrument coach for developing artists, including producing and managing young musicians for Ultrax Records and Septien School of Contemporary Music, both located in Dallas. Since relocating to Hot Springs, Jordan-Williams and her husband, Darin (who’s also the band’s drummer), founded an artist development and coaching business called Williams Studios that teaches and coaches musicians on vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and songwriting as well as teaches modeling and acting and works with artists on photo shoots, videos and other professional projects as needed. The critics and others in the industry who’ve worked with them agree: Matt Aslanian, award-winning producer/ engineer for acts such as Shakira, OneRepublic and Kelly Clarkson, says of Anna Jordan-Williams and Moonshine Mafia: “Sultry and sweet. Fragile, yet bold – always soulful – Anna’s voice shines in her perfor-
mances. With beauty and charm to match, you’ll be a fan within seconds!” Moonshine Mafia’s show at Rowdy Beaver Tavern begins around 7:30 p.m. Sunday and there is no cover charge. Open to ages 21 and up. Rowdy Beaver Tavern is located at 417 W. Van Buren, 479-253-8544.

a car parked on Spring Street. The caller took the laptop to the inn for safe-keeping before someone walked off with it. It’s always great to hear that strangers are looking out for each other and paying it forward. April 18 12:45 a.m. – An officer witnessed a vehicle driving left of center near the Century 21 office on U.S. Highway 62. As a result of the traffic stop, the male driver was arrested on charges of DWI, failure to submit to testing and driving left of center. 12:59 a.m. – A burglary alarm was sounding at a local bar. An officer responded and checked the windows and exterior of the building. Everything was locked and secure, and the owner was notified. 3:46 a.m. – A traffic stop on a truck without a vehicle license resulted in a man being arrested for driving on a suspended license. 3:56 a.m. – A local gas station employee reported a suspicious vehicle parked in their handicap spot – the car had been there for a long time and no one had ex-
ited the vehicle. An officer responded and the people in the car said they were waiting for someone to bring them gas money. The car moved from the handicap spot and continued to wait for the person to bring gas money. April 19 1:46 a.m. – A routine traffic stop resulted in a man being arrested on charges of DWI, driving left of center and no motorcycle endorsement. 3:01 a.m. – A taxi driver reported that a passenger removed his keys from the ignition and ran off with them into a local hotel. When officers arrived, he’d gotten his keys back but was involved in a confrontation with the passenger. Officers advised the driver to leave and the passenger to go to bed. Yes, when you steal keys from the taxi driver, it probably is time to call it a night. 4:47 a.m. – A front desk employee at a local hotel reported that an intoxicated man fell down the stairs. An officer and EMS responded. The man had fallen while running from security, and he signed EMS
refusal papers. The hotel didn’t wish to pursue charges, and the man was advised that if he came out of his room again, he would be arrested for public intoxication. P.s.: Falling down the stairs is also an indication that it’s time to call it a night. 10:50 a.m. – A caller complained that loud music was coming from Basin Park. The music level was checked, and it was within the limits. No one goes to a concert to barely be able to hear the music being played! April 20 2:33 a.m. – A crying woman staying at a local inn ran up to an officer on patrol. Upon making contact with the other party in the dispute, a man, he fled the scene. Other officers responded and helped detain him. He was arrested and brought to the police department. 5:14 a.m. – A traffic stop resulted in the arrest of a man on a DUI charge. 9 a.m. – A caller reported two dogs tied up behind a local inn, saying they seemed very thin and had no shelter, adding that

communications from her ex-boyfriend. April 17 9:31 a.m. – The woman arrested at the local inn on April 16 returned to collect her property. An inn employee requested an officer to respond.

A detective took her report. 4:32 p.m. – A local restaurant employee reported that two males and a female left without paying their bill. They left in a gold SUV with an Oklahoma license and a mustache sticker on it. I’m sorry, but we “mustache” you to pay your tab.

she hadn’t seen anyone out there taking care of them. A police officer and an animal control officer responded, but didn’t think the dogs were malnourished, just in need of water. They made contact with the owner, who provided some water. The animal control officer also advised the owner that the dogs needed to have shelter. 10:23 a.m. – A caller said that traffic was backed up on U.S. Highway 62 due to a gold convertible stalled in the middle of the eastbound lane and a woman exiting the car and jumping around. An officer responded but was unable to locate the vehicle. Sounds like the jumping dance made her car start back up. 1:18 p.m. – A caller reported a physical altercation between a husband and wife on Roark Road. Officers responded, and the wife denied any physical altercation, and there wasn’t any physical evidence of one. The woman was picked up by her daughter. 4 p.m. – The CCSO advised that a man turned himself in on a Eureka Springs warrant for shoplifting. An officer picked him up and the man was booked in at the police department. 4 p.m. – A complainant on Pivot Rock Road requested to speak with an officer in reference to an incident that she experienced. An officer responded, and no report was required. Hmmmm. An “incident?� 7:39 p.m. – An alarm was sounding at a local store; officers responded, but the building was secure. 7:53 p.m. – A local restaurant owner advised that he had a metal beer sign taken from his porch sometime between April 19 and 20. A report was taken.
