Local artist debuts tribute to women of courage in one-woman show Local artist Lorna Trigg debuts her one-woman show, inspired by South African Zulu women during Apartheid, this week at Caribe’s Restaurante and Cantina. Women of Substance, featuring Trigg’s original sculptures, premieres at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 30, and runs from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, May 1, and from noon to 9 p.m. Saturday, May 2. The show is an account of art relating to the courage and strength of women from different walks of life. “The inspiration for Women of Substance comes from many women I have worked with,” Trigg said. “The sculptures depict an ethnic diversity. Mostly the show is about honoring the courage, strength and community that exists between women of all ages and backgrounds.” Born and raised in South Africa, Trigg emigrated to the U.S. in 1988, a year before the abolishment of Apartheid. “I was involved with political groups, especially women of the Zulu tribe who were struggling for the right to vote and to be recognized as equal citizens of a country that was theirs to begin with,” she said. “I travel to South Africa every two to three years, still meeting with the groups I worked with as well as my family and friends.” Trigg said the teaching from the indigenous tribal women she worked with was in the form of sisterhood and community and that she spent many hours sitting in circles of Zulu women as they shared meals and stories while braiding each other’s hair. “On the farm in South Africa, we would gather corn or harvest wheat, plant crops and sustainable gardens, and instead of talking, would create chants or songs, honoring the spirits of the land. They taught me that listening is a great gift, not always needing to fix or respond to a conversation, but that being together was as important as doing together,” she said. Trigg spent last winter creating Women of Substance. “The mental and spiritual preparation is about getting into a quiet space both mentally and physically and allowing a flow of creativity without too much control,” she said. “I begin by taking walks on my 15-acre property and attune to nature, invite the land divas to be with
me, clear my head, and then stay in the moment without distraction with the material I am working with.” Trigg said the majority of pieces are in clay, which is her preferred medium. “It’s that sitting-in-mud-puddles childhood experience that comes through, connecting to earth in a tactile way, which is grounding and healing,” Trigg said.

STO continues bid for compensation By Scott Loftis
CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
Save the Ozarks, the Eureka Springsbased citizens group that successfully fought to prevent the construction of a high-voltage power line in Carroll County, is continuing its bid to be awarded financial compensation in the case. On Friday, STO filed a Petition for Limited Rehearing with the Arkansas Public Service Commission, asking the commission to reconsider a decision last month that officially closed the docket on Southwestern Electric Power Co.’s application for regulatory approval to construct the 345-kilovolt electric transmission line. SWEPCO, which originally filed its request for regulatory approval from the APSC in April 2013, withdrew its request on Dec. 30, 2014, saying further analysis indicated there was no need for
the power line. STO responded by asking the commission to declare SWEPCO’s application denied, officially declare STO as a prevailing party in the case, and order SWEPCO to pay attorney’s fees and other legal expenses incurred by STO. On March 25, the commission issued an order denying STO’s requests and officially removing the case from the docket. In Friday’s filing, STO asked the commission to vacate the March 25 order and repeated its requests that SWEPCO’s application be denied and that STO be declared a prevailing party and awarded compensation. Seven minutes after STO filed its petition on Friday, SWEPCO also filed a Petition for Limited Rehearing, asking the commission to strike a surreply filed by STO on March 17. That filing came in response to a SWEPCO filing that
argued that the commission has no authority to award compensation for legal expenses. SWEPCO’s filing on Friday asks the commission to strike the STO surreply from the official record so that it cannot be considered as part of a potential appeal.

In response to Dr. John House’s letter in the April 23 Letters to the Editor, I wish to say “Thank You, Dr. House” for your comments that so clearly articulate the opinion of those of us who oppose using religion as a means to discriminate. The threats some predict are another example of fear-mongering so pervasive in our country it threatens the foundation of our civil liberties. Ms. Laughlin’s comments bear repeating as well: “The Founding Fathers (with all their contradictions) wisely insisted on the separation of church and state. No religion should interfere with any citizen’s right to life and happiness. Even Christian fundamentalists have the right to their beliefs but they should not demand that their beliefs be part of our government and laws.” PAT GUNN

I have just finished reading the letter to the editor from John House, M.D., published in the April 23 edition, and I have not been able to stop laughing. In the second-to-last paragraph, he takes Pastor Wilson to task for a foray into what the doctor perceives as his own domain. He does this pointedly by asking, “Did Pastor Wilson go to medical school? Does he have a degree in psychology from an accredited institution?” Yet, in the very next and final paragraph the good doctor steps boldly into Pastor Wilson’s era of expertise to quote from the Bible, and thus demonstrate his profound knowledge in a subject that theologians spend many years to study and subsequently be awarded professional degrees. In response, would not Pastor Wilson be justified in saying: Did Dr. House go to seminary? Does he have a degree in theology from an accredited university? Methinks the doctor is a hypocrite, blinded by his emotion and lack of clinical detachment from the debate. Unless of course his letter was satire, in which case I would not only owe the good doctor an apology, but would look forward to reading future humor pieces from him. After all, laughter is the best medicine. Otherwise I would suggest: Physician, heal thyself. KEN LOCKHART

Let’s not pretend that laws allowing transgender access to private areas of the opposite sex don’t make it easier for criminals to gain access without interference from the police or citizens. Right now they can be stopped from entering or be immediately removed and charged. Our indecent exposure laws prohibit those of the opposite sex from displaying their genitals. With 2223 the police have to let them in/stay JUST ON THEIR WORD. Yes a crime is a crime, but why invite crime in the door when we have laws that help prevent them. And they are happening…… • A Washington college said their non-discrimination policy prevents them from stopping a 45 year old student who says he is a transgender man from exposing himself to young girls inside a women’s locker room, according to a group of concerned parents. - See more at: http://bit.ly/1FkIzQu. Fox News • From NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth: “A transgender woman who was ticketed for using the women’s restroom at a Dallas hospital says her status as a convicted sex offender should not play a role in the citation.” (regarding child sex offender Paul Ray Witherspoon) • Police: Man in bra and wig found in women’s bathroom. By KOMO 4 Staff Washington State The man, later identified as Taylor J. Buehler, 18, of Lake Stevens, and was placed under arrest. He admitted to officers that he was the suspect in an earlier voyeurism incident at Everett Community College on Monday, police said. In the earlier incident, he said he took a shower in the girls’ locker room for sexual gratification, according to the police report. We agree that none of these happened in Eureka Springs. Neither did any of the abuses against the LGBT community portrayed in their on line film. We aren’t getting any complaints from the “socio-economic background” crowd because no one knows who they are (protected but not defined in 2223)

Breaking black and white: Observations from the front lines
L
ast year about this time, I penned what would be one of my last pieces for a conservative publication in Washington, D.C. I told my editor at the time that the U.S. was in talks with Iran and that I had questions about the speech f o r m e r Arkansas Alana Cook Gov. Mike Huckabee gave at the National March for Marriage. Huckabee talked about judicial tyranny and natural law while standing at the foot of the U.S. Capitol and about how an unruly clerk and a tyrannical judge in a small town in Arkansas violated the law and allowed domestic partnerships. Why was the crowd filled with busloads of people who only spoke Spanish even though Huckabee spoke against “illegals?” Why can’t we look further into what’s really going on in Iran? As a journalist, unanswered questions and irony bother me. So then, does hypocrisy. Apparently, those were questions I should not have asked. Today’s journalists can lose their jobs for breaking unspoken rules. Here we stand. The U.S. just made a historic deal with Iran and the battle for LGBT rights has hit home, for me and for many of you in Eureka Springs, in a very literal sense. When chasing a story, I’ve learned that there are a few situations where breaking the rules is necessary. Some stories change you forever. Covering the James Byrd, Jr. dragging death was one. This march was the second. I’ve learned not to ask why I’m put in a situation, but just to do and to follow the path of inspiration put in front of me. Many times, the answers come later. And every time, it’s not about me. I walked with a crowd of people pray-
ing and protesting peacefully and wiped the sweat from my brow while they made their way to the Supreme Court. I stood next to people kneeling in prayer at the foot of the Supreme Court building and felt a force so powerful, loving, accepting and uncompromising, I had to sit for a second. I thought of the verse from the U2 song, “One.” “Love is a temple, love is a higher law.” That week, I had been talking to my daughter about her own struggle as a teen who is bullied and spat on for who she is. Just a few months earlier she gave a moving speech in church as she was baptized. She thanked me, her father and her stepmom for making a difference in her life. She struggled to name a child her age who was fully accepting and supportive of who she is. That’s because she had no friends. Church was, and is, especially difficult for her because church is where she feels the least accepted. Just the day before, as I bandaged the cuts on her arm, she shared with me her favorite song by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, “Same Love.” She asked me to explain why people hate. I couldn’t give her a reasonable answer. There is none. “A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are. It’s human rights for everybody, there is no difference.” During the march, I broke the rules. I got in the middle of the street that divides the U.S. Supreme Court and the lawn across the way. On one side were the March for Marriage supporters and on the other side were people protesting the march in support of LGBT rights. Those were the longest five seconds of my life. I can only attempt to imagine what my daughter deals with all day long. I didn’t hear the U.S. Capitol Police yelling at me that I was breaking the law. I didn’t see the cars headed in my direction or the crowds moving in lockstep with their signs in support of religious freedom, nor did I see the others with
signs for the Human Rights Campaign. I dropped my cell phone for a second, bent down to pick it up and wiped a tear from my face. I had a job to do. If only my daughter and the world could see what I saw and feel what I felt at that moment. I took a picture that to this day I keep with me so I will never forget. I made my way back to McDonald’s to write the story. My laptop crashed when I was halfway done and I walked out. I couldn’t rewrite the story the way they wanted me to. They didn’t see what I saw. They didn’t walk in my shoes that day, nor did they walk in my daughter’s, and more importantly, they didn’t seem to get it. At that moment, I didn’t care about religious freedom, or the Human Rights Campaign, or any political or religious agenda or a “tyrannical judge” in an Arkansas city I knew nothing about at the time. I just wanted everyone in the country — and especially my daughter — to feel the uncompromising, unwavering force of love, truth and understanding that I felt that day in the street as I stood still for a few seconds and knew. That force is what will change things in this city and this country. And that force is why I press on. It is indeed, the prize. From it, the tides of change ebb and flow. It says what I say to my own: “I love you sweet child, my daughter. No matter what, I love you.”

The Natural Way The virtues of probiotics
G
ood digestion and good sleep are the first markers of good health. Books have Jim Fain been written on each of these topics so I’ll put together a short work on just digestion and the role of probiotics, also known as good bugs. These live mainly in our small bowel and colon. This is opposite to antibiotics (pro meaning benefiting and biotic meaning life). Regular medicine is beginning to embrace strongly the role of probiotics with studies proving linkage to heart disease, bone density and the immune system. Some science connects the good bugs to reduced depression and improved overall mental health. So, being sure of having plenty of the good guys around is important. You’ve heard of acidophilus as it is found in live culture yogurt from the grocery store. While this is good for you it is only one family in a long list that adds to your health and wellbeing. A high quality probiotic supplement would provide at least a dozen families; the more the better. So, the active culture yogurt is tasty and good for you but not really strong enough. Swallowing one capsule of a high quality supplement is a very easy way to insure that you get what you need. It has to be enteric coated or made to resist being killed by stomach acid and be able to bloom in the small bowel, the probiotic Eden. People who finish a round of antibiotics should do a round of probiotics for the same number of days. For example if you were on a Z-Pack for 10 days then you would supplement with probiotics for 10 days. Also, folks who change their food sections often need to counter the bloating and discomfort which follows. Do you have diarrhea or constipation? Probiotics to the rescue! Actually, these days I think it is right for everyone to include a source of probiotics into their daily diet. Especially mothers to be, breast feeding mothers, those with challenged immune systems, people with clogged arteries. Just one capsule each day can make a big difference in your health and well being.
Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: A recent argument has ended and you finally get the point. Could be you see someone’s reasoning or just their sharp stick in your ribs. Take comfort; if you always won, you’d be far more insufferable. TAURUS: Life has its ups and downs, but it’s that strong wind whipping you sideways that really blows up your skirt. Anchor yourself or you’ll end up in Oz by Tuesday. GEMINI: You feel like you’re exposing yourself to the world, but they’ve only seen a flash of ankle. Don’t worry about showing it all unless you wake up in a pina colada haze with sun-toasted ta-tas. CANCER: Not every mountain must be climbed, especially since the only gear you have is a Swiss Army knife and a bag of Funyuns. Leave this particular peak to the professionals and just enjoy it on a postcard. LEO: Go ahead, tackle the world with a smile on your lips and a song in your heart. There’s nothing more terrifying than a grinning crazy person who won’t stop singing Mariah Carey hits, so expect a clear path to success. VIRGO: You know what makes your sweetie tick, but do you know what makes them shake, rattle and roll? Best find out before you hit the dance floor, or you’ll be the lone person doing the Robot in the corner and drinking punch straight from the bowl. LIBRA: Do something nice for a co-worker, and you’ll have one more vote from the Universe in the American Idol round of karma. Dig up a few more good deeds and you won’t have to wear that Sia wig in the finale. SCORPIO: The dishwasher busted, the dog threw up on your favorite shoes, but Wednesday will still be awesome because you finally fit into those skinny jeans at the back of the closet.

SAGITTARIUS: No one expects you to conquer the world, they just want you to conquer that whole “dress yourself and remember to wear underwear” thing. If you’re going to get a tramp stamp, make it look like a pair of tighty whiteys. CAPRICORN: Don’t want to jump head first into a situation? It’s perfectly fine to stick your toe in the water first, provided your toe doesn’t look like a fat minnow. It may be a small pond but the fish still bite.

AQUARIUS: Happiness is what you make of it. On Monday, fold it into a tinfoil hat and wear it while murmuring near the boss. You’ll have an extra week of paid vacation before you know it. PISCES: Congratulations, you’re on a roll! Relax your knees and focus on your balance; this is much easier than being on a croissant. Eventually you’ll work your way up to a bear claw.

Master Gardeners lend a hand The garden at Little Lake Eureka was badly damaged in a recent storm that dumped rain and flooded the lake, which ran over the dam and wiped out the bed. Carroll County Master Gardeners Doug Miller, Donna Sartoris, Faye Martin, Brenda Webb and Patricia Messer worked to refill the bed with soil, which had washed away, taking the plants with it. The gardeners redistributed between 600 and 800 pounds of soil and removed some fill that included pieces of chip and seal that would have been impossible in which to grow anything. Little Lake Eureka is ready to get back to business.

“What I usually talk about when I do a signing like this is the inside look at the story behind the story,” Tess Gerritsen said. Author of the “Rizzoli & Isles” series — a series that has spawned a television show approaching its sixth season — Gerritsen will speak at the Books in Bloom Festival, to be held from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, May 17, at the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs. Gerritsen said she hopes to give readers insight into her creative process at the festival, where she will promote “Die Again,” the 11th book in the “Rizzoli & Isles” series. The book, she noted, is about a series of murders in Boston connected to a group of tourists who disappeared in the brush during an African safari six years earlier. “It’s based on an experience I had while on a safari in Africa. We had an incident with a leopard, and our bush guide saved our lives,” she said. “It made me wonder what would happen if you trust the wrong person. What if the person whose hand you put your life in turns out not to be who he says he is?” Gerritsen worked as a doctor for several years before taking maternity leave, when she began writing. “I think I was a writer before I became a doctor. I told my father when I was 7 that I wanted to be a writer,” she said. Her father, she said, told her to pursue a more practical field. By studying and practicing medicine, Gerritsen believes she became a better writer. She said she based the character Maura Isles, a medical examiner, on her own experience in the medical field. Discussing how she develops characters, Gerritsen said her creative process can sound schizophrenic to some. Instead of writing character sketches, she explained, she prefers to wait to hear her characters’ voices. “I just sit there and empty my head and if you can hear them talk to you, their characters begin to form,” she said. “When I
Tess Gerritsen
start a story, I generally know if it’s a young person, what their gender is and what their race is. Once I know those basics, I’m still left with this big blank slate.” Gerritsen will discuss this process more in-depth at the Books in Bloom Festival. She said she is excited about visiting Eureka Springs for the first time. “I was invited two years in a row and every time I couldn’t do it because of my schedule. I like to meet new readers, because I’m sure these are readers I wouldn’t have a chance to meet another way,” she said, adding that she’s excited to try the restaurants in Eureka Springs. This is the 10th anniversary of the festival, an event with a reputation for attracting nationally known and best-selling authors along with regional favorites. Authors will speak on writing and books throughout the afternoon. Along with Gerritsen, these authors include William Bernhardt, Amanda Eyre Ward, humorist Roy Blount Jr. and children’s authors James and Kimberly Dean. The event is free to the public.
