‘It’s important to remember’

Eureka Springs events commemorate Memorial Day By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Eureka Springs residents didn’t have to look far to find a way to commemorate Memorial Day this year. Several events were held in the city to honor those who have died or gone missing while serving in the armed forces, including American Legion Walker-Wilson Post 9’s annual service and the first Memorial Day Cemetery Walkabout. American Legion Service The American Legion service featured a dedication to the POW/MIA empty chair and a musical tribute by the Holiday Island Singers. After the choir finished performing, Rev. Jeff Timm of Holiday Island Community Church spoke briefly about the importance of Memorial Day. Timm recalled a story about an aircraft that began to rapidly fall from the sky, saying there were 72 people onboard. “Finally, one lady had enough of that. She stood up and said, ‘My goodness, somebody do something religious,’ ” Timm said. “It just so happens there was an Air Force chaplain onboard, and he stood up and took an offering.” Timm added, “Before you worry, I’m not going to take an offering today. I’m going to make an offering to share a little bit about Memorial Day.” Timm said he comes from a family with a long history in the military; between three generations, Timm said, his family members have served a combined 106 years in the armed forces. Memorial Day is special to him, Timm said, because of his and his family’s experience in the military. “To honor and remember … that’s really what Memorial Day is about. It’s coming to honor and remember those who have given their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today,” Timm said. He presented some facts about Memorial Day, saying it began as a way to honor those who died in the Civil War. There were 600,000 casualties in that war, Timm said. “That is half of all the deaths in American service,” Timm said.

Rev. Jeff Timm of Holiday Island Community Church speaks at the Memorial Day ceremony at American Legion Post 9 on Monday, May 29.

Memorial Day was traditionally celebrated on May 29, Timm said, because there are no battles associated with that date. That changed in 1971, he said, when Congress decided to commemorate the day on the last Monday in May. Timm said President Bill Clinton added another layer to the day in 2000, when Clinton asked Americans to have a moment of remembrance at 3 p.m. every Memorial Day. “So since the year 2000, Americans have been asked at 3 p.m. to stop and honor and remember those who have given their lives,” Timm said. During the first Memorial Day commemoration at Arlington National Cemetery, Timm said, 5,000 people showed up to recognize 20,000 graves from soldiers in the Civil War. Timm pointed out that some Southern states have their own Memorial Day celebration each year for fallen Confederate soldiers. Timm remembered performing a piece called “Freedom Is Not Free” for a choir, saying that theme perfectly explains why Memorial Day is so important.

“It’s not only to honor and remember, but to realize this day reminds us that freedom is not, has never been and will never be free,” Timm said. “It comes at a very great price. Ask wives who have lost husbands and families who have lost children, and you start to get the idea of the magnitude of the idea that freedom is not free.” When he was in high school, Timm said, an Army representative offered the chance to join the service. “A number of my friends I ran track with said, ‘That’s a really good idea. Let’s go to Vietnam,’ ” Timm said. “Not one of them came back home. Don’t you ever think freedom is free. It comes at a great price.” That’s the whole idea behind Memorial Day, Timm said. “We are honoring and remembering those who have given their lives,” Timm said. “My prayer today is so may we live. So may we remember and honor and respect those who have given their lives that we might have the freedoms we’ve been enjoying.” He continued, “My prayer is they might

hear those wonderful Biblical words … ‘Well done, thy good and faithful servants.’ See, these are the people who gave up their tomorrows so you and I might have our todays.” Cemetery Walkabout The Eureka Springs Cemetery Walkabout kicked off after the American Legion’s ceremony ended, held at the cemetery from noon to 3 p.m. Bob Thomas, secretary treasurer of the Eureka Springs Cemetery Commission, said he the event was a one-mile loop around the cemetery with various stations along the way. Thomas said visitors could pick up a poppy, learn about the First Amendment and remember those they lost at the Forget-Me-Note station. Thomas said he remembered two loved ones at that station, his cousin who died in Afghanistan a few years ago and a very close friend who died in Vietnam in the 1960s. Thomas recalled his cousin’s zeal for life and said he misses him. “There were like 10 aunts and uncles all focused on Jeffrey. He was the pride and joy of the family,” Thomas said. “From the time he was a little kid, he wanted to be a soldier.” Rick Bright, who manned the ForgetMe-Note station, said he felt honored to help others remember their loved ones. “It’s awesome to be able to be involved in this, because so many people sacrificed their life so we can be here and do this and do everything we like to do,” Bright said. “It’s great to be a part of it.” Local historian and former cemetery commissioner June Westphal operated her own station where she described the history of the cemetery and those buried there. In the Eureka Springs Cemetery, Westphal said, there are graves from those who served in every war in American history. “There’s those who were in the Civil War. We have almost 200 who served with the Union army that are buried here, and we have 75 to 100 Confederate veterans. There’s that many,” Westphal said. The reason there are so many veterans See Events, page 27

The Eureka Springs Planning Commission has been discussing code definitions and revisions for months now. On Tuesday, May 23, commissioner Ann Tandy-Sallee asked why the 200-foot rule is necessary. The 200-foot rule says the commission won’t approve new CUP applications if an existing CUP is within 200 feet in any direction of the property. Tandy-Sallee recalled when the commission voted on an application to rezone 38 Prospect from R-1 Residential to C-3 Commercial May 9, saying the applicant wanted to have a bed and breakfast at the property but lost their CUP last year. “I got kind of blindsided when Glenna [Booth] brought up there was a CUP across the street at the Episcopal church and it wasn’t being used,” Tandy-Sallee said. The applicant couldn’t apply for a new CUP because of the CUP across the street, Tandy-Sallee said, so the commission had to vote to rezone the property instead. Tandy-Sallee said she got confused by the situation. Those who apply for a CUP, Tandy-Sallee said, pay taxes to the City Advertising and Promotion Commission. “We monitor that so they pay their dues, and the CUP that came up is one

Harman said the 200-foot rule was put in place to protect the residential neighborhoods and said she’s not sure about getting rid of it. “I’m kind of still stuck in the middle, because the intent is to protect neighborhoods and if people purchase a home in a residential neighborhood …I ’d really have to think about it,” Harman said. “I just don’t know. I’m kind of torn between one or the other.” Commissioner Woodrow Acord said he supports the 200-foot rule but wants to investigate businesses that aren’t using their CUPs. “Our intent with all this was to try to [prevent] the residential areas from being completely commercial. I live in this town in a single-family dwelling, and I’m certainly not interested in commercial businesses populating our neighborhood,” Acord said. “I’d like to address sometime the CUPs that aren’t being used.” Harman said city preservation officer Glenna Booth has a list of all the CUPs, saying the commissioners could look over the list. “We can review whether or not some of those may be in question,” Harman said. “I’m good with that,” Tandy-Sallee said. The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 13, at City Hall.

that’s not being used,” Tandy-Sallee said. “That’s not being used. They don’t want to give it up.” Tandy-Sallee said she wanted to revisit the 200-foot rule and maybe even get rid of it altogether. “We can’t let them have a CUP because there’s a CUP at the church … they haven’t used their CUP in years,” Tandy-Sallee said. “I don’t want them to lose their CUP. It seems to me it’s two different things. I think we would’ve had the option of giving them their CUP back instead of rezoning.” Commissioner Susan Harman said only lodging and restaurants pay CAPC taxes, saying the church’s CUP wouldn’t fall under those categories. “Planning does issue CUPs for daycare centers and different things like that, so there would be no way that I know of to determine … if they’ve actually paid anything,” Harman said. Tandy-Sallee said she was focusing on the situation at 38 Prospect. “I’m not as interested in that as I am what happened that prevented us from having them reapply for a CUP when there’s a CUP across the street that obviously doesn’t fall under the 180-day rule,” Tandy-Sallee said, referring to a rule revoking a CUP if a business doesn’t operate for more than 180 days. “They don’t do it and haven’t in a long time.”

Good Shepherd Humane Society has had quite a year. At the board’s annual membership meeting Wednesday, May 24, President Jay Fusaro reported highlights from the past year, ways the shelter can improve and how members can help. Fusaro started with the highlights, saying there are 201 members of Good Shepherd and countless

volunteers. Fusaro said the board, employees and volunteers work hard every day to ensure the organization’s success. “We really appreciate their efforts. They do a terrific job for us,” Fusaro said. “You should thank the board for all the hard work the board has done. Not only do they serve on the board, but they volunteer at the store and the shelter and donate to Good Shepherd.” Fusaro described some of the highlights

from 2016, beginning with the adoption of several long-term dogs. Long-term dogs have been at the shelter for a year or more, Fusaro said. “At one point six months ago, we had 12 long-term dogs. Now, we only have four and two of those four recently clicked over into a year,” Fusaro said. “We’re very happy about that, and we’re taking aggressive steps to deal with the See GSHS, page 13

Good Shepherd Humane Society announces new treasurer By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Good Shepherd Humane Society has a new treasurer. At the board’s annual membership meeting Wednesday, May 24, interim treasurer Rosemary Fusaro said Mark Minton has agreed to work on the board as the treasurer. Fusaro said this means Minton will be a full member of the board, saying she has been interim treasurer over the past year. “It’s been an honor and privilege to work with all of you and be interim treasurer. Mark Minton is fabulous,” Fusaro said. “He was the previous treasurer for the Eureka Springs Carnegie Library and he’s part of Rotary. You will be in great hands.” Fusaro moved on to present the financial report for April. The net income was $770, Fusaro said, but turned into a $630 loss when accounting for the outdoor kennel revenue and the emergency care fund expense. “This is almost $2,100 under the budgeted net income of $1,500 for the month,” Fusaro said. She said the ad book revenue, miscellaneous donations, thrift store revenue, adoption revenue and shelter improvement donations all came in under budget. Payroll was under budget, Fusaro said, as well as vet supplies, facilities and equipment ex-

penses and various other expenses. Even with the loss, Fusaro said the organization has done better over the past year. The budgeted net loss between January and April this year is $162 better than the budgeted net loss between January and April last year. “Despite disappointing April results, we are on budget year-to-date,” Fusaro said. Fusaro said the organization needs to keep an eye on expenses, because it will be fully staffed as of June 1. That means payroll won’t come in under budget anymore, Fusaro said. “We’re on budget. Our first months of the year are our worst months. We make up for it with the Doggie Style Show and other fundraisers,” Fusaro said. “We do have cash on hand. We’re just running at a loss.” Shelter manager Sandra Mittler presented the shelter report, saying she’d like to see the number of adoptions increase. “There has been a significant decrease in our foot traffic at the shelter. As a result, we’re holding more events on-site to reacquaint the public with our facility,” Mittler said. “We have also taken a step back and reorganized our adoption strategy.” That reorganization includes out-of-state adoptions and transfers to other facilities, Mittler said. She said this helps move dogs who have been in the shelter for more than

a year to new homes. “Once a dog reaches a six-month stay at our shelter, we will look into transferring them to an out-of-state facility, meaning another shelter,” Mittler said. “If a dog is still with us after one year and they are not eligible for transfer to another facility … then we will look into finding a sanctuary for that animal.” Mittler said she wanted to stress that Good Shepherd won’t work with any facility that doesn’t meet its standards. “They will be no-kill. They will also mirror our values and share the same standards we have for adopting out animals,” Mittler said. “We hope these changes will increase the number of animals we are able to help each year. We will not jeopardize the safety of our animals, nor the integrity of Good Shepherd, to implement these changes.” Mittler said several cats who have been at the shelter for more than a year have recently been adopted. “I started as a cat tech. The cats are definitely not second-class citizens,” Mittler

ESSA to host summer session June 19-23 Eureka Springs School of the Arts will have its summer session from June 1923, offering three workshops during that time. “Jewelry Making for Beginners” with Audrey Peck gives students the chance to learn the fundamentals of metalsmithing and jewelry making, including sawing, filing, soldering and cold connections. Students will create a variety of projects from pendants to key chains to a silver ring. No experience is necessary. “Experimenting with Papermaking” with Leandra Spangler will allow students to transform cotton into liquid

clouds of vibrant color to create a palette for learning basic sheet forming, wet collage and pulp painting. This workshop will emphasize using low-tech equipment for easy implementation in the home studio or classroom. “Basic Wood Working” with Steve Palmer is a beginner-level class in ESSA’s new wood studio, where students will be guided through safely using a range of woodworking equipment that will be used to create a piece of art that is built with the student’s own hands.

said. “We never forget about the cats.” Thrift store manager Janet Chupp said the stores are doing well. The children’s area was moved from the Eureka Springs store to the Berryville store, Chupp said, and that has proven successful. She said she wants to improve the Eureka Springs store in the future, hoping to move the drainage pipe at the corner of the store, remove the windows between the porch and the main room and get some drywall hung in the basement. The stores wouldn’t be successful, Chupp said, if she didn’t have so much help. “There is no way I could’ve stepped in and taken over as manager and assistant manager without every person in this room. There’s no one person in this room who hasn’t helped me…went above and beyond,” Chupp said. “It has increased our sales so much. It’s unbelievable. It’s made that much of a difference.” The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 21, at the shelter’s meet and greet room.

Ambulance changes

Ozark EMS withdraws as eastern district provider By Scott Loftis CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com

Ozark EMS officially withdrew as the exclusive emergency service provider in eastern Carroll County on Monday night, effective immediately. Ozark EMS owner Leon Cheatham announced the decision during a special called meeting of the Eastern Carroll County Ambulance District (ECCAD) commission at the eastern district courthouse in Berryville. The commission voted to authorize ambulances from Mercy Hospital in Berryville to begin accept emergency calls in the eastern portion of the county immediately. Mercy had been the exclusive provider of emergency ambulance service in eastern Carroll County until January 2015, when Carroll County Judge Sam Barr authorized Ozark EMS to begin accepting calls on an alternating basis with Mercy.

Mercy officials said they lost $2.1 million over a six-year period from the beginning of 2009 through the end of 2014, including more than $500,000 in 2014 alone. They said the move to a two-provider system worsened an already difficult financial environment by cutting into Mercy’s revenue opportunities without making a significant impact on its fixed costs. Ultimately, Mercy stopped accepting emergency calls in Carroll County in March 2015. It has continued to operate an ambulance in Berryville for making transfers from Mercy Berryville to other hospitals. Transfers are considered more profitable than emergency calls because a higher percentage of transfer bills are paid. Cheatham, whose company first came to Carroll County in 2014 to provide transfers for Eureka Springs Hospital, said Ozark EMS has suffered financial losses that make it impossible to continue without some form of immediate payment arrangement with the county. The commission, which has authority over emergency ambulance service in the eastern portion of the county, did not discuss such an arrangement. The commission was formed in January to oversee the ambulance service district after voters approved the district’s creation in the November 2016 general election. Voters also approved a 2.5-mill tax to fund the ambulance district’s operation. The commission is expected to use revenue from that tax to pay for a long-term contract

with an ambulance service, but is still several months away from beginning the bid process for such an agreement. The commission does not yet have an established checking account, although it is expected to open bids from banks at its next meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, June 12, in the eastern district courthouse. “I’d like to start out and say thank you to Carroll County, thank you to the judge,” Cheatham said at Monday’s meeting. “When we came into this, we asked to come into the county to help out. I thought our biggest problem in the county was not having service because transfers were being done. That’s where our money is at. We gave up our contract with Eureka Springs Hospital because I made the judge a promise that I would do my best to never leave the eastern district without an ambulance. We turned down many transfers simply because we wanted to keep an ambulance here. Yes, there’s been times when we haven’t had an ambulance but if you’ll look at those times, it was when multiple calls came in and we had to call someone else in. It’s not because we were leaving, doing transfers, in order to make that profit. We were making a profit but anyone in here that has anything to do with directors or owners or billing of ambulance services will let us know today that with the cuts that have been made since last year, it’s hard. I spoke with several of them that haven’t had a check since January. VA hasn’t paid since last November. But what can we tell our veterans? ‘No, we’re not gonna take you, because I can’t afford to.’ No, don’t do that. You do it, and hoping that something else comes up. So that leads me to where we’re at right now. We’re $40,000 to $50,000 in the hole right now. I cannot survive the rest of the year. It’s gonna take another $120,000, approximately, to be able to survive the rest of the year. If there’s no way of coming up with any type of clause, or emergency, for that, then I said I would stay until 6 o’clock today, until

the meeting, where I could explain everything to the people, and to the board, and that’s where I’m at. I’m willing to stay if there’s any way that we can come up with some type of agreement, some type of fund. I don’t know where it’s gonna be, or what you may have or what you can do, but as of 6 o’clock this afternoon if there’s no agreement that we can come to, we will be stepping down and someone else can step in. I’ve really enjoyed it. I’ve had a lot of friends. I see a lot of support. I can’t thank anybody enough. It was a dream of mine, and it’s been good. I’m here to take care of the people. I’m not here to do transfers.” Cheatham said he had reached an agreement to sell his company to Pafford EMS, headquartered in Hope, last week but the deal fell through when Pafford was informed it would not be able to accept transfers along with emergency calls. He said Pafford chief executive officer Jamie Pafford told him that she couldn’t afford such an arrangement. Pafford has not returned a telephone message that was left last Thursday. Bob Patterson, executive director of emergency medical services for the Mercy system, was at Monday’s meeting and told the commission Mercy had one ambulance stationed at the Berryville hospital and was working to position another one as close as possible in the event of emergency calls Monday night. Eureka Springs Fire Chief Nick Samac was also at Monday’s meeting and said Eureka Springs Fire and EMS will also help respond to calls as much as it can. Brian Unruh, director of ambulance services for North Arkansas Regional Medical Center in Harrison, also was in attended and said NARMC will help, as well. Commissioners said they would also seek assistance through mutual aid agreements with services from neighboring counties. The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, June 12, at the Carroll County Eastern District Courthouse in Berryville.

Eureka Springs illusionists to be featured on CW show By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

If you’ve never been to Intrigue Theater, you can get a taste of what illusionists Sean-Paul and Juliane do on the silver screen this summer. Sean-Paul reported that he and his longtime partner will be featured on Penn and Teller: Fool Us, a program where magicians perform for the famous illusionists, sometime over the next few months. The show is shot in Las Vegas. He submitted segments to the show last year, Sean-Paul said, because it’s considered one of the best TV shows a magician can go on. “In our industry, there’s America’s Got Talent, Masters of Illusion and Penn and Teller … and Penn and Teller is absolutely the best show to be on in terms of exposure,” Sean-Paul said. Sean-Paul said the producers of the show looked at his Youtube channel and found a video of the act he and Juliane did with their monkey, Frankie. The video was from 10 years ago, Sean-Paul said. “They said they’d really like us to do that. I said, ‘I don’t want to do that,’ and I turned it down,” Sean-Paul said. “I talked to a bunch of people since then. They said, ‘Are you kidding me? You really owe it to yourself to try it again.’ ” He and Juliane did try again. This time, Sean-Paul said, they included Frankie in their act. He said it was a new act based on the Infinity Theory, which says if you give a monkey a typewriter and enough time, he’ll eventually come up with the complete works of William Shakespeare. “We submitted it. They liked it, and we went out there,” Sean-Paul said. “It was a big struggle going out there. You can’t fly with a monkey anymore, so we had to drive out there. It was a fun road trip. The monkey loved it.” Frankie has been a part of the family since 2002, Sean-Paul said, when he and Juliane wanted to add an exotic animal to their act. “We basically have a child that will never grow up that lives to be 45 years old,” Sean-Paul said. “We had not idea what we were getting ourselves into.” When they got to Las Vegas, Sean-Paul

said, he feared Frankie would get distracted by everything going on around him during the performance. “We did rehearsal after rehearsal after rehearsal. There were people all around us, and Frankie was so distracted, and I thought, ‘This is going to be a disaster,’ because he needs to be focused,” Sean-Paul said. “I even said to the producers, ‘Please tell me you can clean this up if it takes him a long time to hit a punchline.’ ” He continued, “We went out there, and when Frankie walked on-stage, his eyes got real big and he understood this was for real. He went out there and didn’t miss anything. He was just locked and loaded. It couldn’t have gone much better than it did.” One of the best parts of the show, Sean-Paul said, is that he and Juliane got to showcase Eureka Springs in their introduction package. “I realized this could be a national commercial for what we do here in Eureka,” Sean-Paul said. He doesn’t know when the show will air, he said, but he did give a little hint about how the performance went. “When we got done, Penn said, ‘I love monkeys, and I love the infinity theory, and I can’t believe what you guys did here,’ ” Sean-Paul said. “I’m really glad we did it. It turns out it was worth the effort. It was exciting. I hope it will promote the town.” Sean-Paul and Juliane perform Wednesday through Sunday at Intrigue Theater at 80 Mountain St. He said they have been working on improving the theater, upgrading the inside of it to offer better production quality. “It’s really just upgrading the production elements in our show … the lighting and the video and all the things that enhance it,” Sean-Paul said. “When people walk into our building, just the setting and the decor is going to make an impression before the show even starts.” Sean-Paul said he’s constantly adding new things to the show and hopes being on Penn and Teller: Fool Us will bring more people out to see it. Many of those who appear on the show, he said, spend most of their time touring.

“They don’t have something they can actively promote. They’ll get more bookings because they’re on that show, but we have this place, this geographical location, where people can come to us and see us,” Sean-Paul said. This is the seventh year he and Juliane have been in Eureka Springs, Sean-Paul said. The reason they choose to stay here, he said, is because of the Victorian nature of the town. “There’s nothing like it anywhere else, and the show was inspired by the characteristics of this town. This was a haunted Victorian town. We used to come down

here to escape Branson, because this had a much more textured, layered character,” Sean-Paul said. “It’s much more intriguing. We created this experience for people to come to Eureka Springs because of the town’s character. We wanted to create an experience that really embodies the spirit of the town.” Penn and Teller: Fool Us will air on Monday nights this summer. When he finds out the air date for his segment, Sean-Paul said, he’s considering having a viewing party at the Crescent Hotel.

U.S. Flags in Eureka Springs Something I have always wondered about is why Eureka Springs doesn’t fly more U.S. flags celebrating Memorial Day, July 4th and Veterans Day. The Doughboy War Memorial sculpture in Basin Park was placed as a memorial after World War I to honor the local men who served this country. From the history that I have read about Eureka Springs, it was founded July 4, 1879. This is the one day you would certainly expect to see a lot of U.S. flags flying in our town! Can you imagine how nice this would look? - KAY DANDY

Trump’s priorities

Let’s look at priorities: 1. President Cheetollini (so named because of his previous orange hair and because he patterns himself after the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini) just signed a $110 billion dollars arms deal with Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia? Fact: Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy

of the Al Saud family ruled by Sharia law and known for its abuses of human rights. Torture, physical abuse, public executions, murder, censorship of speech and of the press, spreading lies about Jews and where women face discrimination in law and in practice are well known. 2. He and his Republican lackeys (servile followers) want to eliminate Head Start. Fact: I worked in Head Start in Fayetteville years ago and learned how so many poor families depend on it for childcare, education and meals. 3. He, et al., (et alia means “and others”) want to destroy Obamacare and replace it with who knows what? Fact: Obamacare is quite popular, used by millions with allowance for ‘preexisting conditions’. 4. He is a liar and a thief, beholden to Russia and big banks. Fact: No average citizen could get away with his illegal deeds; a young Black man goes to jail for a long time for shoplifting? 5. His cabinet is made up of his cronies, rich billionaires who have no experience in what they are supposed to lead and, in fact, choose to dismantle

the agencies they head. 6. He does not care about the environment, climate change, programs for the poor, education or anything else that does not line his pockets and the pockets of his family and cronies. I have just about given up on people who voted for Trump. One man with black lung in Kentucky was asked about Obamacare. He said, “It saved my life.” When asked if he would vote for Trump again knowing Trump wanted to abolish Obamacare. He said, “Yes.” I understand the anger of working people and how we are not really represented by our so-called ‘elected officials’, but after all of the bad acts of this president, how can any thinking person want Trump in office? So-called “Christians” who voted for him surely must know that Trump is no Christian, but is a womanizer whose

Mid-year resolution

bout a month ago, I had a bad week ... the kind of week that makes you want to dig a hole in the ground, crawl in and stay for a couple hundred years. It was so bad that I started to re-evaluate everything I’ve ever done or will do in my life. Like most people who have anxiety-driven existential crises, I realized I was the root of the problem. My solution? Exercise more. Now, exercise had nothing to do with my bad week. It wasn’t even part of it. Still, I figured I might have been in a better mental state if I had been exercising for at least an hour every day. My resolve thickened. I would start going for a walk every day, even if it meant getting up early enough to catch one of those cringy infomercials when I got back. On Monday, I got up at 6 a.m. and walked for an hour up and down my road. It seemed novel then. I kept repeating to myself how a journey of a thousand miles starts with one single step and hating myself for being so corny. I got to work at 7:52 a.m. that morning. I remember because I bragged to my boss about getting in so early on a Monday. The rest of the day went by pretty quickly. I felt refreshed. I smiled more. Maybe this is how it feels to be productive, I thought. On Tuesday, I repeated the process. Get up at 6 a.m. Walk for an hour. Don’t pet that cute angry dog through the neighbor’s fence. All was well, and I started to feel pretty good about myself. Somehow, I kept up with the exercise for the rest of the week. On Sunday, I felt more accomplished than ever. Then I realized I’d have to do the same thing for the next week and the week after that. I suddenly felt very overwhelmed. It’s been two weeks now, and I’ve done a pretty good job of keeping it up. Sure, I’ve skipped a day or two. I’m trying not to harp on that too much. After all, those are two days out of five that I’ve gotten

out of bed, put on workout clothes and clomped on. It will come as no surprise to many of you, but this was my new year’s resolution. On Jan. 1, I promised myself I’d be more active throughout the year. It’s probably the most common new year’s resolution, so I’ve had to forgive myself for being so cliche ... not just for choosing this as my resolution, but for not following through with it until late May. Samantha Jones That made me think. What if we all made midyear resolutions instead? That way, we can look at the things we’ve done wrong during the first part of the year and try to fix them in the last half. Then, it’s really only six months of change. If you go back to your bad ways after Christmas, you can just go on a bender for another six months before trying to have some resolve again. Cities do mid-year budget reviews. Businesses have mid-year sales. Of course I can have a midyear resolution. My chance of success is about the same, but my sense of resolve is heightened to a point where I can’t ignore it. Surely that will go away in time. I might stop exercising way before January gets here. If I don’t, that’s great. Being healthy isn’t exactly frowned upon. But if I do, I can start back up again next year at this time. That’s my mid-year resolution, and I’m sticking to it ... for another week or so, at least. ••• Samantha Jones is associate editor for Carroll County Newspapers. Her email address is Citizen.

Miller named chamber’s new chief operating officer By Amanda Nettles

Paul A. Miller is the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce’s new chief operating officer. Miller said he was extremely honored and excited to be chosen for the position. “I am looking forward to working with the board and business community,” Miller said. According to a press release from the chamber, Miller is a business owner and has a master’s degree. He also has experience as a project manager in the space and aeronautics industry. Miller has worked for more than 16 years as a technical supervisor to the NASA Johnson Space Center Office of External Relations and Public Affairs. According to the release, Miller hopes to execute the chamber’s work plan, grow membership and re-start the Chamber’s role in economic development. Chamber board of directors chairwoman Cathy Handley said Miller’s work history demonstrates his ability to develop high-level business plans and models associated with community outreach.

“Our chamber is a diverse collection of businesses with a focus on tourism. The board sought someone who is invested in Eureka Springs, experienced in business and who is willing and able to reach out to the community … sharing with them the important work we do as a chamber,” Handley said. She added, “Paul, with his love of Eureka Springs, is the perfect person to oversee our chamber and to educate the public about what our chamber does for all of us.” The mission of the chamber, Handley said, is to facilitate tourism through visitor services, lead response and group travel, facilitate the networking of area businesses and act as an advocate for businesses on the local and state level. The release says the chamber’s directors will soon announce a date, time and place for an upcoming mid-year meeting, where Miller will be introduced and new, enhanced services will be rolled out. “This is an exciting time for our chamber. We like to call this ‘a new day with a new direction and a new director,’ ” Handley said.

Bookstore honored

It’s A Mystery ranked among state’s best By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com

For regular visitors, it’s no mystery why It’s A Mystery Bookstore was named one of the 10 best bookstores in Arkansas. Best Things Arkansas, which is powered by AmericanTowns Media, ranked the 10 best bookstores across the state, and It’s A Mystery placed third on the list. Dickson Street Bookshop in Fayetteville and Wordsworth Books and Co. in Little Rock placed first and second, respectively. Melinda Large, owner and operator of It’s A Mystery, said it was a complete shock to read the store’s name in the list of best Arkansas bookstores. “I had been out of the country for like a month, and, when I got back to the U.S., I kept getting all these messages on my phone,” Large said. “I was like ‘What in the heck? I’m not answering these.’ Then I was sitting on my computer and saw my store in the list of top bookstores and thought ‘No wonder I keep getting all these messages.’ ” She continued, “I was honored. Of course, I didn’t beat Dickson, and I’ve been to Wordsworth in Little Rock as well. They are good. But this is all of Arkansas. To be named number three in the state is a complete shock.” It’s A Mystery has been on the Berryville Square for almost 10 years now, Large said. After retiring from the corporate world, she said she wanted to pursue her dream of running a bookstore and felt the Berryville Square was the right place. “I always wanted to have a bookstore. I worked at Walmart previously and retired from there,” she said. “I live in Eureka Springs, but this place just felt right. The store felt right. The Square felt right. That’s why we have a bookstore here.” Large said she has taken over the bookstore from its previous owner, her dog Spanky. “He owned the store, but he has passed

away,” she said. “Everyone in the whole town knew Spanky.” The transfer of ownership from old paws to new hands has not been the only change over the last 10 years, she said. There have also been changes in both the genres people read and the way people read. “I think everything evolves, and any business changes over times,” Large said. “Everybody thinks e-books are the way to go now, but people do both. You come into a bookstore to step away. You come in for the feeling, whether it’s Dickson, Wordsworth or my store. It has to have a little treasure hunt appeal to it.” Large said the treasure hunt aspect of bookstores is where she got the name for It’s A Mystery Bookstore. “It’s a mystery what’s in here,” she said. She said the readership for her store has also changed over the years. While Western novels used to be her biggest seller, she said old romance novels are becoming the new big thing. “Readers of the Western genre are dying off. It’s not the biggie anymore,” Large said. “Now, it’s old romance novels, not the new ones. Those are my biggest sellers now.” She said she has also noticed more adults reading young adult fiction these days. “There is a piece of me that is very happy because they are reading, but they are also reading at a fourth- to fifthgrade level,” she said. “That bothers me because the complexity of thought is gone.” Large said she likes to remind people that reading is just like eating. “There are books you read that I would call the steaks, such as Jane Austen, Hemingway and Steinbeck. Your classics,” she said. “Kids can grasp that concept, and adults can, too. Young adult fiction and other easy reading is more along the lines of ice cream, candy or sugary things. You cannot eat that all

the time. The same goes for reading.” Large said one of her favorite things to do when traveling is to bring two or three paperback books with her. “In many places where I travel, there is no internet, and you maybe get two hours of electricity because everything is solar or wind power where I go,” she said. “We have reached an age where we’re affluent and carry our iPads and phones with us that need charging, but, when you get only two hours of electricity, you can either heat the water for a bath or charge something.” As a result, she said books are still a valuable item across the world. “Not everywhere is connected, so books become a real tradable item when I do these trips,” Large said. “Books are still a precious commodity. You can trade them, leave them places and pick them up from new places. That’s the beauty of a book.” She said she plans for It’s A Mystery to remain on the square as long as the com-

munity and readers are coming into the store. “I try to remain consistent and have offerings that my people are looking for since I have a diversity of readers here,” Large said. “We try to stay engaged with the community, and I do believe we are part of the community.” While receiving the recognition from Best Things Arkansas is great, she said her readers are what really matter to her. “It’s more about the people who did this list. I didn’t know I was even in the running,” Large said. “Whoever voted and participated, my people from all over, they are the ones I really want to say ‘thank you’ to. It’s them that have made me stay here for 10 years. They’re the most important thing to this store.” It’s A Mystery Bookstore is located at 107 Hubert St. in Berryville. The store is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.

long-term dog situation. We’re very satisfied with where we are. Right now, four is very good.” The overhead costs for the organization were reduced, Fusaro said, when thrift store manager Janet Chupp was promoted and the assistant manager position was eliminated. In 2016, Fusaro said, the organization exceeded its budget. “We were budgeted to lose $10,000 in 2016, but through strong expense control and fundraising efforts, we actually broke even,” Fusaro said. “We’re really proud of that.” One of these fundraising efforts, he said, was the Board Challenge. Fusaro said the board issued the Board Challenge at the end of last year, promising to match every donation in December up to $4,000. “Although we fell short below the $4,000 goal, I think it’s a good testament to show the board’s total commitment to the community,” Fusaro said. Local pet store Blackie’s Backyard held a two-for-one toy sale in December, Fusaro said, raising more than $2,200 in toys. “The animals at Good Shepherd were able to have a good Christmas,” Fusaro said. He said the organization received three substantial grants last year: the Bates Spay Grant, a grant from the Walton Family Foundation for flea and tick treatment and a grant from the Northwest Arkansas Economic Development District to complete construction on the meet and greet building at the shelter. The grant for the meet and greet building came in under budget, Fusaro said. “We’re going to take the excess funds and repurpose them toward shelter improvements,” Fusaro said. “If you haven’t been at the shelter recently, check out the meet and great building.” The building is a place where adopters

can interact with animals they like privately, Fusaro said, and it also serves as the site for all future board meetings. “I think it’s critical the board meet at the shelter, so if there’s an issue at the shelter and [shelter manager] Sandra [Mittler] needs to show the board, we can just go and look at it,” Fusaro said. Along with the three grants, Fusaro said, the Berryville Doggie Thrift Store had its first $1,000 day and volunteers helped fund and build new lean-to structures over the outdoor kennels at the shelter. “It provides really good rain and sun protection for the animals, and it looks terrific,” Fusaro said. “We’re really happy about that, because some people say it makes them sad to go to the shelter. I tell people, ‘Don’t let that stop you from coming to the shelter.’ ” He continued, “It shouldn’t make you feel sad to go there, because the animals are well-cared for. They’re well-fed. It’s a clean and sanitary environment. We don’t want people to feel sad to go there.” A company in Arkansas donated LED lighting and light fixtures to help improve the shelter even more, Fusaro said. He said this is around $5,000 to $7,000 the organization won’t have to spend. The organization does have room for improvement, Fusaro said. An important improvement, he said, is more adoptions. “The adoptions numbers are OK, but they’re not where we want them. They’re not where the team wants them,” Fusaro said. “That’s something we’re going to be focused on … local adoptions through social media, out-of-state adoptions and transfers and sanctuaries for dogs who have been there for a long time.” Fusaro said the organization could use more grant writers, too. “There’s probably money out there and we just lack in manpower. If you want to get involved and have a knack for

grant writing, please see myself or Karen Welch,” Fusaro said. The organization’s website has been a problem for some time, Fusaro said, and it should be taken care of in the near future. Fusaro said a volunteer has offered to design a new website and maintain it for a year after it launches. “It’s probably in the area of $15,000 if we were to pay somebody to do it,” Fusaro said. Turnover at the shelter is a major concern, Fusaro said. “The turnover, quite frankly, is at an unacceptable level and we need to address that,” Fusaro said. “Part of the reason, I’m sure, is pay. It’s a challenging environment. We’re going to do the best we can to make improvements in that.” The organization is looking to raise money for several improvement projects, Fusaro said. These projects include revamping the HVAC system and improving the indoor kennels. Good Shepherd was built as a kill shelter, Fusaro said, so the indoor kennels aren’t very aesthetically pleasing. “It was built for animals to be there a week and moved out. The new kennel we’re looking at is not only going to be better-looking but more sanitary,” Fusaro said. “We’re going to raise money to redo the indoor kennel, which we really need to do in conjunction with HVAC because of air circulation.” Fusaro said Good Shepherd members can help the organization in a variety of ways, from volunteering at the shelter or thrift stores to helping the organization market itself better. It always helps, Fusaro said, when people donate to the organization. “Good Shepherd does not receive any state, local or federal funding. We’re completely self-funded,” Fusaro said. “If you can imagine the cost of food, vet services, medications and supplies … it takes a lot of money.”

The Eureka Springs Lions Club is disbanding. Beverly Wells, secretary and treasurer of the club, said the club has had dwindling membership over the years. Wells said the club started in 2013 with 23 members. “It doesn’t seem to be progressing the way we had planned for it to, and we do have three of our members who are actually moving out of state,” Wells said. “We just decided to basically go out in good standing.” Wells said the club hosted a pizza party for Boy Scouts Troop 67 of Eureka Springs. At the end of the party, she said, the club gave the remaining money in its bank account to the troop. Wells said she will miss the club, saying the club has done many good things for the community over the years. “We have all sorts of events we’ve

done,” she said. The club has adopted a section of the road between the train station in Eureka Springs and Holiday Island on 23 North. “We do that three times a year. We’re at the Christmas parade every year,” Wells said. “This was the first year in the parade we got first place for decorations. Every year at Brighton Ridge in December, we do the annual Christmas cheer for those residents. We give them little boxes of gifts.” The club has also worked to raise awareness for the blind and has helped pay for eyeglasses for those who can’t afford them. All the donations given to the club, Wells said, have gone to help the community. She said she’s going to miss the club when it’s gone. “It’s really kind of sad, because I am one of the few chartered members. By the time it was all said and done, there were only five of us left,” Wells said. “It’s sad.”

New health center opens in Holiday Island By David Frank Dempsey Carroll County News

HOLIDAY ISLAND — On their second open house day, May 25, (complete with free burgers and hot dogs) Boston Mountain Rural Health Center chief executive officer Betty Sanders talked about the experience of bringing the award-winning health center to Holiday Island. “People are already calling for appointments,” she said, “They are really appreciative.” The Health Center opened on Tuesday, May 30, at No. 1 Park Drive in the Business Park in Holiday Island. Beyond its reception area, the 4,300 square-foot clinic has four examination rooms, a procedure room and a triage room. Using a rotating combination of Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Carol Piatkowski and primary care physician Dr. Ben de Miranda, they treat acute illnesses and injuries and provide care for long-term illnesses. The services range from treatment of cuts and other wounds, colds, flu, allergies, infections, sprains and fractures to long-term care for patients with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, arthritis and asthma. Other onsite services include vaccines, preventative screenings and physicals. The clinic uses a sliding fee system of payments and prescription medication assistance programs to provide care for patients who are uninsured or underinsured. The clinic also accepts Medicare and Medicaid patients. BMRHC’s latest recognition for its medical services will come in the form of the Trendsetter Award from the Arkansas Department of Health on June 1. “We will be the only organization in the state to receive the award for outstanding efforts in educating in self-management of diabetes,” said Chief Clinical Officer Jennifer DePriest. Sanders followed by saying, “Individually and as a group we offer excellent health care.

The ribbon is cut during an open house for Boston Mountain Rural Health Center in the Business Park in Holiday Island on Thursday, May 25. The Health Center opened on Tuesday, May 30.

departure of Dr. Sonal Bhakta followed soon by the closing of Mercy Clinic, effectively leaving the community without health care. This came at a time when it is becoming increasingly difficult to find doctors and clinics in the area who are able to accept new patients. BMRHC made known its interest in developing a clinic here during a Jan. 31 Elks Club meeting but a search for health care services began more than a month earlier with developer Tom Dees canvassing area hospitals looking for advice on bringing in a new provider. During the search Dees made contact with BMRHC and invited their representatives on a three-hour tour of the community on Dec. 19. All five Holiday Island Suburban Improvement District Board of Commissioners attended BMRHC’s presentation at the

Elks Club and on Feb. 17 the BOC passed a goodwill resolution promising support, within its legal limits, for the Health Center and directing District Manager Lawrence Blood to help wherever possible. That was followed by more than a month of waiting while BMRHC’s Board of Directors evaluated the move. According to Chief Operations Officer Debbie Ackerson, it was determined that the Holiday Island area with its estimated population of 3,000 is large enough to support a BMRHC clinic. They leased the clinic space on April 1. The Health Center here will be No. 11 in the Marshall, Ark-based BMRHC’s expanding list of clinics in northwest and central Arkansas. BMRHC was started in 1994 and is a non-profit charitable health care provid-

er. It is one of only 12 independent community health care centers in the state. They unite to gain a greater presence in the state capitol. “We are separate organizations but together we are the Community Health Centers of Arkansas,” Sanders said. “There are few things as important for a community’s survival and growth than health care,” Dees said, “We are very fortunate to have Boston Mountain here.” Piatkowski will be seeing patients on Mondays and Tuesdays from 7:45 a.m. until 5:15 p.m. and on Fridays from 7:45 a.m. until 11:45 a.m. Dr. Ben de Miranda with his staff will see patients on Wednesdays from 7:45 a.m. until 5:15 p.m. To reach BMRHC call 870-4485733 and ask for the appointment scheduling department.

Party in the Park

The Holiday Island Rotary Club held its annual Party in the Park on Saturday, May 27, with more than 200 people in attendance. The event began with a ceremony to honor veterans and was followed by a musical performance and a barbecue meal. Proceeds from the event will be used to support scholarships for Eureka Springs High School seniors and other charitable activities. The club meets every Friday morning at 8 a.m. at the Holiday Island Elks Club. At its next meeting on June 2, Larry Nelson of Mountain Home will present a program called ‘Patriot Guard Riders.’

EUUF to host series of talks by resident teacher

The Eureka Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will have a series of talks by resident teacher Dr. Rob Lennick over the next two months. Lennick will talk on “Exploring the Horizons of Ethics and

Technology” at 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 7 and June 21, and at 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 5, and July 19. Everyone is welcome to come to the talks. Donations are appreciated.

LOOKING BACK In honor of the 127th Eureka Springs Alumni Association Banquet that will take place this Saturday at the Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center, this week we will showcase the man who started it all…..Professor C.S. Barnett. Professor Barnett came to Eureka Springs in 1889 from Bowling Green, Ky., where he attended Ogden College. There was no other man living in Eureka Springs who did so much for education than Professor Barnett. He served 38 years as superintendent of Eureka Springs Schools and taught English and literature. In accepting the position of superintendent, Professor Barnett set for himself a stupendous undertaking— building a good school system. Many obstacles confronted him. No planning had ever been made for an educational process, and in respect to financing a school, there was no money except for a school tax of 5 mills. The district owned no land, and schools were held in old buildings where broken windows were stuffed with rags. There was no high school and the teachers had no formal education. Little by little, Professor Barnett brought the schools forward, and a new spirit of pride and respect was at work for both students and parents. Professor Barnett’s “School Notes” column was published in the local newspapers, and he appealed again and again for a new school. At the close of the school year in 1890, he wrote, “If before another year you concentrate all of your interests in good schools—all of your hopes for the future of your children—we will see, rising majestically from one of our mountains, a public school building worthy of your children.” Finally, in 1892, a substantial brick building was erected on a mountain near the Crescent Hotel, the W.H. Reid School, or otherwise known as the Old Red Brick Schoolhouse. Professor Barnett also founded the Eureka Springs High School Alumni Association. This group is still active, and celebrates 127 years this year.

Eureka Springs has the recipe for a thriving downtown

Submitted photo

This is the new Wood Studio building at Eureka Springs School of the Arts. A grand opening for the building will take place from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, June 4.

ESSA to host grand opening for Wood Studio June 4

Eureka Springs School of the Arts has a new Wood Studio, and everyone is invited to see it from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, June 4, at the school. The school is located on Highway 62 West on the left a little bit before Inspiration Point. Doug Stowe, ESSA founder and board member, described the new building as a dream come true. “I can see its impact stretching far into the future, as it enables men and women to embark in joyous company on a learning adventure,” Stowe said. Stowe described woodworking and why it’s so important for the school to offer extensive classes in the medium. “What’s so special about wood? It’s lovely. You can craft beautiful and useful objects directly from the most basic of raw materi-

als,” Stowe said. “It unites us with the natural world and invites us into a profound relationship with nature. Objects whittled or sawn or shaped from it, if cared for, can last a thousand years or more. There is absolutely no limit to what you can learn from it, things even about yourself. And yes, it does grow on trees.” Also at the event, visitors will have the opportunity to see the Incredible Edible submissions. Area cooks in both the professional and novice categories will provide “food as art” to be judged at 3 p.m. More than 60 works of art, all post-card sized, will be offered in a silent auction. Music and refreshments will be available. Admission is by donation, and no tickets are required. All are welcome. For more information, call 479-253-5384.

Democratic Party of Carroll County to meet June 5 The Democratic Party of Carroll County will hold a membership meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday, June 5, at the Cattlemen’s Restaurant in Green Forest. All who are interested are invited to attend. The restaurant is open for dinner prior to the meeting. A meet and greet for membership and friends will start at 6 p.m. For more information, visit www. facebook.com/CarrollCountyDemocrats.

Mixing the preservation of their building stock, adding new retail and restaurants each year and continually creating fresh events makes the perfect downtown district year after year. While other communities in Northwest Arkansas are just figuring out that investment in their downtown districts is vital to the success of their community, Eureka Springs has always known that the core business district is their main attraction. “We’ve been able to keep our mix exciting because investors and current business owners know that the downtown district offers an exciting, walkable area for almost a million visitors a year,” said Jacqueline Wolven, executive director of Main Street Eureka Springs. “One of our core ingredients is our consistent and constant promotion of the district by our organization, our City Advertising and Promotion Commission, the Chamber of Commerce and the city as a whole. All of the entities understand the importance of this central district to the community and to the visitor.” Eureka Springs reinvents itself each year and this year is no different with a new vintage record store, bakery and home décor, as well as the expansion of well-known entities within Nelson’s, which added a Man Cave apparel store, Fain’s Herbacy, which added home décor, Mud Street Café, which is expanding to a second location to be able to offer breakfast all day, and the additional outlet for The Pink Flamingo in the heart of Spring Street. The ad-

dition of new businesses and expansion of strong businesses in the downtown district keeps it fresh and fun, but it also ensures that the buildings continue to be refreshed and preserved. “Our strength is that we have this emphasis on being authentic. Our shops are hand-curated by the owners, the restaurants are chef owned and operated, the properties are protected by our Historic District Commission who helps guide the care and maintenance to last through the ages, and our community recognizes the value of a strong and vibrant downtown that retains the history, but allows for fresh ideas to flourish,” said Wolven. “We aren’t having to convince people of the importance of a thriving downtown. It’s so helpful that the community, city, region and state understand the value of what Eureka Springs offers to potential investors, tourists and our own community.” The Main Street Eureka Springs program challenges itself to keep a running inventory of opportunities, successes and provide this assessment of its district quarterly. The most recent review for Downtown Eureka Springs has identified five open retail spaces in the district currently, 10 new businesses open and five expansions to larger spaces or an additional space this year. For information on spaces available, thoughts on district movement or on opportunities, contact Wolven at 479.244.5074 or visit mainstreeteurekasprings.org .

THE

Ticks me off

don’t like ticks. Ticks carry many different disease-causing agents and spread them through their attachment to our bodies. This Jim Fain is called vectoring. I’m surprised at how itchy and long-lasting the bite can be. I’m humbled by the tick and how well it does its ugly job. Many diseases are directly linked to tick bites. Fortunately, most of the diseases won’t happen if you remove the tick quickly and don’t give it the chance to vector bacteria or another nasty called protozoa. Deer ticks vector at least 2 different bacteria and protozoa creating Lyme’s disease. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) can come from the ticks found on dogs and is caused by a bacteria. RMSF is the most common tick born illness in these parts. But the one that I think is the nastiest (all are ugly) is caused by a bacteria vectored by the Lone Star tick causing Human ehrlichiosis. I like the website http://www.uaex.edu/Other_Areas/publications/pdf/FSA-7047.pdf as it is authoritative for our area and easy to read. It gives all the information needed. If a tick attaches, with clean hands and fingernails pull it out with steady pressure. Clean the bite and dab with tea tree or grapefruit seed extract. With our huge deer/tick population, Lyme’s disease is what people think about. Current thinking is that the tick has to attached for over 24 hours. The “bullseye” pattern shows up most of the time but not always. If treated early, this often clears up. If not, a person can suffer for a lifetime. RMSF can produce flu-like symptoms and often produces a rash. Flu is not common in the summertime but tick bites are, so even if you do not have a rash get treatment right away. Human ehrlichiosis is not as common here but it can be life threatening and it does come from the most common tick. Early symptoms are flu like without rash in adults but with rash in about 60% of kids. Diagnostic testing takes time and immediate treatment is needed so labs may or may not be done. Get prompt medical treatment and add high dose Monolaurin to synergistically work with the antibiotics. Don’t take chances on treatment. I’d also do an immune booster like astragalus and add probiotics. Preventing the bite in the first place makes a lot of good sense. For this purpose, I like a pump spray topically of cactus juice which is naturally made from prickly pear.

Wisecrack ZODIAC ARIES: You don’t have to worry about a fox in the henhouse, but you should be concerned about the wombat in the dishwasher. He doesn’t have any experience in plumbing, so you really should call a professional. And a zookeeper. TAURUS: The bull is slow to anger, which is good, but you’re also slow in everything else, too. Congratulations on making your sweetie happy and finally taking the Christmas lights down. GEMINI: A spoonful of honey makes the medicine go down, and it also keeps someone else quiet while you’re trying to talk. Bring a whole bottle and a box of spoons for your Friday afternoon meeting if you want to start your weekend on time. CANCER: Monday is filled with laughter, but it might not be yours. Keep your zipper up and your cranky face on, and you’ll make it through unscathed. To save everyone else from certain doom, though, you’ll need your coffee. LEO: You know what needs to be done, but you’re pretty sure your co-workers won’t like it. That’s okay, once you start your evil plan, they’ll be replaced by Swedish fem-bots and trained ferrets anyway. VIRGO: Climbing the ladder to success doesn’t mean life is easy at the top; once you run out of steps, you’ll just be dangling by your wits. Tie a knot in that rope and hang on until you strap on that parachute. LIBRA: Romance is in the air, but it will fall out of the sky dead if you pick up that Axe body spray one more time. Get kinky instead; a dash of Pam nonstick cooking spray will raise eyebrows and pulses. SCORPIO: In order to find inner peace, you should choose a personal mantra. Anyone can chant “Om,” but you’ll only hit the higher planes if yours includes gas station burritos, Barry Manilow and hot goat yoga. SAGITTARIUS: Everyone makes mistakes, but you’ve rocketed be-

yond amateur status and are now floating around drunken rock star territory. Try to get at least one thing right this week, before you escalate to politician status. CAPRICORN: When your family said they wanted to see more of you, that thong is not what they meant. Cover up those butt cheeks during your poolside BBQ, before you have an awkward collision with the ketchup bottle.

By Beth Bartlett

AQUARIUS: Life is beautiful on Tuesday, mainly because Karma discovered Instagram filters. Pucker those lips and go with the illusion; everyone needs a good selfie now and then. PISCES: Your dreams are like soap bubbles: some you chase until they float away, and others pop in your face. On Wednesday, one finally lands gently in your hand. Hurry to make it a reality before the dog bites it.

Specialist examines how to prevent parasites in ruminants By Amanda Nettles AmandaNettlesCCN@gmail.com

Small ruminant specialist and junior livestock specialist Dr. Chelsey Ahrens discussed with local farmers Friday how to detect parasites in small ruminant breeds. Ahrens is originally from Lamar and grew up on a cattle and sheep farm. She said internal parasites are one of the most common problems in small ruminants. “It’s because small ruminants are so susceptible to them,” she said. She said forcing the ruminants to eat on the ground can be a huge issue because it is forcing them to eat worms. “We also tend to overcrowd them and we cause the parasite resistance problem because we’re treating them and maybe they didn’t need to be treated,” she said. “We also have environments, especially here in this part of the world, where these worms thrive because it’s warm and it’s moist.” Ahrens said ruminants are sometimes not kept in good condition. She said that could be because they are overcrowded and they don’t have the proper nutritional plan. Ahrens explained the life cycle regarding how certain parasites enter a ruminant’s body. “It gets ingested and then it goes through their system and they defecate onto the ground and when they eat that grass those worms are on the grass, and it’s just a continuous cycle,” she said. She also discussed the different types of worms that can enter both sheep and goats. She said the one to really worry about is the Haemonchus Contortus, also known as the ‘barber pole’ worm. Ahrens said this is because it is a blood-sucking worm.

“It’s the one causing the anemia, and one day your goat is fine, then the next day it’s dead,” she said. She said these worms are very prolific. “They can lay 5,000 eggs per day, per female, so it just multiplies constantly,” she said. She said there are several different signs in detecting when a sheep or a goat is anemic. She said the animal could lose a lot of weight, grow a rough hair coat instead of a soft coat, have a bottle jaw or could just become “unthrifty.” “The less susceptible ones tend to be the ones that are more mature,” Ahrens said. “They are in the right body condition. Sheep don’t seem to be as susceptible as goats.” She said 75 percent of larvae live in the bottom two inches of grass and 90 percent of larvae are in the bottom four inches of grass. She recommends not grazing below four inches. “Once you graze below four inches you’re getting into your parasites,” she said. FAMACHA (Faffa Malan Chart) is a method that is used to determine whether certain sheep or goats need to be treated for parasites. On the color chart, five different eyelid colors are shown. The chart only identifies barber pole worm. While viewing a sheep or goat’s inner eyelid, if the eyelid is bright red that means the sheep/goat is very healthy. If the eyelid appears almost white, that means the ruminant is extremely anemic and nearing death. For more information about detecting and preventing parasites in small ruminants, contact the local county extension office.
