Parks commission unveils new mountain bike trails at Lake Leatherwood By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Lake Leatherwood City Park has a new feature. On Thursday, June 14, the Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission officially opened the newest downhill mountain bike trails at Lake Leatherwood. Parks director Justin Huss thanked the Walton Family Foundation for supporting the trails, saying the project never would have happened without the foundation. The foundation proposed the trails last fall, Huss said, and paid for much of the construction. Huss said the foundation will continue to support the project by providing funds for two new positions to help maintain the trails. The commission is seeking a trails manager and trails maintenance worker, Huss said. The reason for that, Huss said, is to be sure the trails remain in their current condition. “We’re already creating two jobs in town through the trails,” Huss said. “We’re excited about that.” Gary Vernon, the Walton Family Foundation’s program officer, described how important the project is to him. He’s familiar with Lake Leatherwood, Vernon said. “This is a special project. It is. It’s special to me,” Vernon said. “I’ve been riding Lake Leatherwood for 20 years.” Vernon remembered when the foundation first started building trails in 2003, saying Stuart and Tom Walton built five miles of trail in Bentonville. “Tom and Stuart were out there digging trails themselves,” Vernon said. “Here we are a little more than a decade later, and this vision — their vision — has become the real thing. We are approaching some of the best riding in the world.” He’s asked professional riders and industry leaders what they think about the mountain biking trails in Northwest Arkansas, Vernon said, and they are impressed. “Everybody looks at us and says, ‘How in the world is this the world’s best trail? It’s in

Springdale or Bentonville,’ ” Vernon said. “I say, ‘Wait until you see Eureka Springs.’ In my opinion, this is the best trail they have.” He continued, “It’s got something for everybody. It’s got some downhill. It’s got some uphill. It’s got some smooth downhill. It’s got some crazy uphill. I don’t think anybody knows what this is going to do to Eureka Springs, but it’s going to be big. It’s going to be real big.” There are nearly 30 miles of trails at Lake Leatherwood now, Vernon said, plus the trails in town and at the Great Passion Play. Looking toward the future, Vernon said, Eureka Springs business owners should get ready for an influx of visitors. “Eureka Springs is going to have 50-plus miles of trails, maybe close to 60 miles of trails,” Vernon said. “Stock up if you have a store. Get well-stocked.” Vernon recalled visiting the city during

construction, saying he didn’t see many visitors in the winter. “I think that needs to stop,” Vernon said. He’s optimistic that the trails will stay in good shape, Vernon said, because of the Ozark Off-Road Cyclists. Huss thanked the Carroll County branch of the Ozark Off-Road Cyclists. Without that group, Huss said, the trails would look a lot different throughout Eureka Springs. “Whether you mountain bike or not, if you like trails, they’ve built them,” Huss said. “They maintain them. They are so valuable to everything that happens and continues to happen in this area.” The trails will be a catalyst for positive change in Eureka Springs, Huss said. “It’s a means for increased revenue for the parks, for us to do more projectors, to be more solvent and self-sustaining,” Huss said. “We have world-class trails. We have

to keep them world-class.” Parks chairman Bill Featherstone presented a card to Vernon at the end of the ceremony thanking the Walton Family Foundation for all its help. Featherstone said the commission first engaged with the foundation in 2012. “We were hopeful something like this would happen, maybe a little sooner,” Featherstone said. “But some things are worth waiting for. We can’t thank you enough for making this day happen. We look forward to a long, very long, partnership.” Seeing the project become a reality, Huss said, has been fulfilling. “Like everywhere else in Eureka, we’re a dysfunctional family, but we get it done in the end,” Huss said. “Everybody’s working. Everybody’s going for the cause and the greater good.”

Fire department agrees to store hospital commission files By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Eureka Springs Hospital Commission has found a new home for its files. On Monday afternoon, treasurer Barbara Dicks said the Eureka Springs Fire Department has agreed to keep a filing cabinet with the commission’s records in the basement. Dicks said mayor’s assistant Kim Stryker provided a filing cabinet for free, along with working on finding a permanent location for the files. “I went to the fire department, and they said, ‘We’ll come get it for you,’ ” Dicks said. “So they came to the round house with one ambulance and a pickup truck and all these big guys got the one filing cabinet and took it down.” She added, “They did all that, and they said, ‘We owe you, because you bought us an ambulance.’ ” There are still some files at City Hall, Dicks said, but they are all in one place. Those files concern the early days of the commission, Dicks said, when the commission ran the hospital. Finding a location for all the files, Dicks said, saved the commission $700. She estimated at an earlier meeting it would cost around $700 to purchase a filing cabinet, new files and a space to store them.

giance didn’t send in its payment for May, Dicks said, until June 8. “They have told me they will make the June payment this week, so both payments should show up next week,” Dicks said. House said he’s concerned that Allegiance didn’t pay on time. “We’re on a path toward spending a lot of money on this hospital project, and if we can’t rely on Allegiance to make the payment they make now, and we’re talking about increasing it by five or six times … that seems much less likely that they’re going to be able to pay their bills,” House said. “One of the things they can do to make us feel much more comfortable about this going forward is that they actually pay on the same day each month.” Andert said she’d pass that message along, saying Allegiance is supportive of the renovations to the hospital. “Allegiance is very excited. They want this to go through, too,” Andert said. Dicks said she’s confident they can work it out. “We’ll just have to all be on the same page,” Dicks said. The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Monday, July 16, at the ECHO Community Room.

Also at the meeting, Rusty Windle of Windle & Associates answered questions about the commission’s audit. Windle said the audit would be done soon, saying he’d get it to the commission when he could. Commissioner John House asked why previous audits have shown depreciation, and Windle said that’s because of the ambulance the commission bought. The ambulance is the only reason for depreciation, Windle said. “I’ll show you that list, but I think the ambulance is all we had left,” Windle said. “If there’s anything else I need to do, let me know and we’ll put it out in more detail.” Chairman Michael Merry welcomed the hospital’s new CEO, Vicki Andert, saying he’s excited to continue working with her. “I can’t imagine anyone that we would have been happier to see in that position,” Merry said. “As a commission, we’ve been working with you for so long now and feel so comfortable with you, I don’t think they could have done better.” “I just want to get in there and do a good job for the community, for the facility and for the staff,” Andert said. Dicks presented the financial report, saying the commission has $206,059.05 in checking and $2,642,243.07 in CDs. Alle-

hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after the plane he was piloting crashed shortly after taking off from a private airstrip Thursday morning near Eureka Springs. A news release from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office said dispatch received a report of a plane crash at Silver Wings Aviation, located on Carroll County Road 207 in Eureka Springs, at 11:07 a.m. Thursday. CCSO deputies and Eureka Springs Fire Department responded to the crash site, according to the news release. The pilot, Marlyn Atkinson of Excelsior Springs, Mo., sustained non-life threat-

ening injuries in the crash and was transported by ambulance to Eureka Springs Hospital, according to the release, which says no other persons were aboard the downed aircraft. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff, the release says, and came to rest approximately 75 yards east of the airstrip. The plane was intact following impact, according to the release, which says initial reports indicated smoke coming from the plane, although there was no fire. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Traffic Safety Board (NTSB) will determine the cause of the crash, according to the news release.

Sanchez returns home to coach Lady Highlanders By Ty Loftis CCNSports@cox-internet.com

The Eureka Springs school board accepted the resignation of girls basketball coach Adam Brothers and hired Ryan Sanchez as the new coach at its meeting on Monday, June 11. Sanchez is a 2014 Eureka Springs High School graduate and played three years of college basketball at Avila University in Kansas City before serving as an assistant for the men’s basketball team last semester. "Getting to come back to Eureka Springs is a dream come true," Sanchez said. "Some people dream of getting to come back to where they graduated all their life and never get that chance. I got that chance right out of college. This is a great opportunity for me." Sanchez played at Bentonville High School during his sophomore and junior years. He also played on the Arkansas Wings AAU team. "I went to Bentonville to take care of my grandparents," Sanchez said. "I did the bigschool thing. Played at Bentonville High School. Here, it's a community. It's a family. You know everybody by their first and last name. You know their mother, brother, uncle and grandmother. I couldn't have it any other way. You can drive down the highway and wave to every single car. It does have its negatives, but it takes a village to raise a child." When Sanchez came back to Eureka Springs for his senior year, he was coached by boys coach Brian Rambo. "At Bentonville, during my sophomore and junior year, that is when you physically mature," Sanchez said. "Coming back down to 2A to play, it's a lot less physical. The point guards in 7A are 6-3, 180. The point guards here, 5-7, 120. Coach Rambo and I had a very close relationship. He was easy to talk to because he knew I had a lot of experience playing basketball. It was almost a father-son relationship. There were no questions of what was going on in the locker room. That was a very mature team." Sanchez has maintained a relationship with Rambo over the last four years and he looks forward to learning from him over the next several years. "In my first year of being a head coach I

am going to learn a lot," Sanchez said. "And I'm going to need that mentor right next to me. Since I graduated, we have talked at least monthly. He would always ask how basketball season is going. Keep the gym open for workouts during breaks. We have a very good relationship and I appreciate that." Rambo looks forward to helping Sanchez during his first year coaching basketball. "It's going to be a great experience for both of us," Rambo said. "Ryan is a fine young man. He was a great player for me. Being able to coach him as a player, follow him through college and now have him on staff, it's come full circle. It's a blessing for both of us. He is very excited for the opportunity. He has played college basketball, he has played at the highest level of AAU ball, but it's a little different when you put a whistle around your neck. I will have to mentor him a little bit, but he is very receptive of that. It's a great opportunity for our kids." Sanchez has been blessed to play under many great coaches, including Rodney Perry at Avila University. Perry left Avila after Sanchez’s sophomore year to become an assistant coach at Oral Roberts University. Bill Sloan spent time as the head coach of Kansas City Community College before coming to Avila University during Sanchez’s junior year. While playing for the Arkansas Wings, Sanchez was coached by Dave Stallman, who played under Norm Stewart at the University of Missouri. Stallman is now an assistant at the College of the Ozarks. "At Avila, we ran the spread," Sanchez said. "I was a big part of introducing that to coach Sloan. He had his style of offense half the time and then we had the spread. I know that's what the boys do here. On defense, you can't impede a player’s movement. It's better to already be in a gap to discourage any drives. Emily Lovejoy, Gracie Lester and Megan Holloway are very physical. I think we can get up the floor. Draw a lot of fouls getting to the rim and be tough to stop on offense." As a player and assistant coach, Sanchez helped Avila University to some very good seasons. "During my sophomore year, we were See Sanchez, page 6

I was able to graduate early, so that last semester I didn't play basketball. I served as an assistant. I ran all the group and individual workouts for the men’s basketball team.

"Emily Lovejoy, Gracie Lester, Megan Holloway, Grayson Ertel, they all have the potential to do great things," Sanchez said. "We can do a lot of great things this first year. It's going to be a process, but I'm eager to start it." Sanchez grew up in a Christian home, as his parents were pastors at Full Faith Ministries for 18 years.

They moved to Wyoming last October, but they, along with his eight brothers and sisters, have been a major influence on his life. "It's a big family, but I like it that way," Sanchez said. "They have made a ton of sacrifices for me and I can't thank them enough." Brothers had been the athletic director for the past two seasons, but Rambo will be taking back over for the coming season. "I feel like we are in a good situation right now athletically," Rambo said. "We have some good people in place. I am very involved with our school and our community. It's exciting for our school and it's exciting for me." Sanchez will also be coaching the track and field team and will teach physical education as well. Sanchez is engaged to Rambo’s daughter, Hailei, and they are planning on getting married next summer.

Santiago faces new charge over jail incident By Scott Loftis CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com

Joseph Santiago, the Carroll County man who is charged with capital murder in the grisly 2017 slaying of his autistic older brother, faces a new felony charge in connection with an incident at the county jail. Santiago, 19, is charged with impairing the operations of a vital public facility, a Class C felony. He was scheduled to appear Monday, June 18, in Carroll County Circuit Court, but the hearing was continued. The new charge stems from an alleged incident on the night of Tuesday, May 8, at the Carroll County Detention Center. Detention officer Ryan Loftis writes in an affidavit that he was operating the detention center’s central control room when he heard a loud noise at around 11:06 p.m. Loftis said he then saw on camera that a black liquid was spraying all over a cell in one of the jail’s pods. Loftis and five other detention officers went to the pod, he writes in the affidavit, and he opened the cell door and Santiago came out of the cell and lay on the ground. Another inmate also came out of the cell and was escorted to the jail’s booking area along with Santiago. Loftis writes that he was advised by another detention officer that there might be a fire inside Santiago’s cell. Loftis and the officer sprayed fire extinguishers inside the cell, and Loftis requested assistance from the Berryville Fire Department to clear the cell, the affidavit says. Upon returning to the pod to assess the situation, Loftis writes that he discovered the pod was flooded with water from a sprinkler. Fire department personnel found no fire inside Santiago’s cell and detention officers checked the remainder of the building and determined there was no fire or smoke inside the jail. A new sprinkler was installed inside Santiago’s cell and Loftis found parts of the old sprinkler underneath the bed, the affidavit says. Loftis writes that he and the other detention officer observed trash in the toilet bowl, a comb in the sink that might have been used for prying, multiple pieces of shredded cloth and foam stuffed inside a plastic cup from

the jail kitchen and a cup from the jail commissary containing a yellow liquid. Loftis and the other detention officer then helped Act 309 inmates clean up the water, which had flooded all of one pod and part of another, the affidavit says. The next day, Loftis writes, he was notified that recordings from the camera in Santiago’s cell were available for viewing. The footage shows Santiago climbing the ladder on the cell’s bed and placing a towel near the ceiling, according to the affidavit. “Santiago spends several seconds with the towel at the ceiling,” Loftis writes. “At time stamp 23:05:45, the sprinkler is broken by Santiago and begins to spray black water all over the cell. Santiago then steps back down the ladder and goes to stand by the door to (the cell.)” Santiago had his first judicial appearance on May 17. District Judge Dale Ramsey found probable cause to charge Santiago and set bond at $10,000. Santiago remains in the Carroll County Detention Center, where he is being held without bond on charges of capital murder, attempted capital murder and arson. He is accused of killing his older brother, Alex Santiago, in January 2017 inside a mobile home in the Grandview area northwest of Berryville. Santiago allegedly admitted to investigators that he killed his brother with a baseball bat and sword. The attempted capital murder and arson charges apparently stem from an April 2016 incident at the family’s home. Santiago allegedly told investigators that he locked his brother in his room and poured gasoline on the floor before setting the home on fire. Santiago was 17 at the time of his brother’s death but turned 18 approximately three weeks later. Prosecutors said from the outset that they intended to charge Santiago as an adult, and he was transferred from a juvenile facility to the county jail on the day of his 18th birthday. Carroll County Circuit Judge Scott Jackson in April scheduled Santiago to go on trial beginning Aug. 27 in Eureka Springs. However, Santiago’s attorneys filed a flurry of motions in mid-May — including a request to transfer the case to juvenile court. A hearing on that motion is scheduled for July 20 and could affect the timing of a trial.

Remedy for asthma A local man says, “Asthma is a very debilitating condition and can just make life miseraJim Fain ble. I found several things that helped alleviate the symptoms somewhat; turmeric as an anti-inflammatory seemed to be of some use. But the one supplement I found that has almost completely alleviated all of my symptoms/ suffering is L-Glutathione. I take 500 mg. a day and almost forget that I have the condition.” Glutathione is an anti-aging, anti-toxin, anti-disease amino acid that is critical to health that most people know little to nothing about. Pharmaceutical companies have done extensive study on this very natural supplement. Taking as little as 150mg/day (in a reduced form) by mouth has helped many. Still, I like a supplement called N-acetyl cysteine even better than straight glutathione. Glutathione levels decrease as we age. There is a corresponding decline in our health and longevity as levels drop. Low glutathione levels have been linked to cardiovascular disease, cataracts, macular degeneration, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s as well as aging in general. In our animal friends, researchers at Louisiana State University showed a clear and definite linkage to the levels of glutathione and the drop in inflammation that goes hand in hand with the healing of inflammatory bowel disease. Asthma is connected to inflammation, too, as is coronary artery disease. I checked PubMed and the National Library of Medicine, searching for N- acetyl cysteine which produces glutathione in our system. I found hundreds of scientific studies showing benefit including liver health. I found none demonstrating toxicity especially at 600-1200mg per day when swallowed. Cruciferous veggies such as broccoli and especially brussels sprouts are good sources though you have to eat them regularly and have large servings. Garlic, scallions, onions and shallots all make the glutathione in the broccoli (and family) work better in your system. A supplement of 150 mg (or more) of reduced glutathione or better yet 1200mg of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC-600) seems prudent and workable.

Opera in the Ozarks (OIO) will be following fools in love for its 2018 summer season, which begins this Friday, June 22. General director Nancy Preis said the 2018 season repertoire features Johann Strauss Jr.’s “Die Fledermaus,” Giacomo Rossini’s “Il Barbier di Siviglia” and Douglas Moore’s “The Ballad of Baby Doe.” “The most exciting offering is ‘The Ball of Baby Doe’ because it’s never been done by Opera in the Ozarks,” Preis said, “and I suspect it’s never been done in Arkansas.” She said it is an American opera about historical figures Horace Tabor, Elizabeth “Baby” Doe Tabor and Augusta Tabor. “The opera is about 60 years old, and it concerns real people,” Preis said. “It’s the story of Horace Tabor, a silver baron who falls a** over teakettle in love when he hears a voice coming out of his hotel.” She continued, “Horace dumps his longstanding wife, Augusta, who isn’t happy about this. It’s a great love story. He hears this voice and falls in love with Baby Doe, but it’s not exactly ‘happily ever after.’ ” The pair has a long marriage, Preis said, but Horace loses all of his money. She said the opera ends with his death.

Open House Tuesday, June 26 • 10AM – 3PM

at the Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce office 516 Village Circle, Eureka Springs

“Baby Doe herself actually lived another 25 to 30 years,” she said. “She froze to death. She was penniless when she died. She was living in a cabin outside of Horace’s last silver mine.” Preis continued, “The opera has beautiful music. It’s so different. I think people will really like it when they hear it.” She said “Il Barber di Siviglia,” or “The Barber of Sevillie,” features the foolishness of Dr. Bartolo, an old man who believes he can marry his ward, Rosina. “He makes a fool of himself, saying he’s going to marry her,” Preis said. “Rosina falls in love with Count Almaviva. Figaro is the character who makes everything happen. He makes a fool out of Bartolo. Almaviva makes a fool out of Bartolo. Everyone tries to fool Bartolo.” “Die Fledermaus,” the title of the third opera, means “the flying mouse,” she said. “It’s the same thing as a bat. We have bats, barbers and babies this summer,” Preis said, laughing. “The plot of ‘Die Fledermaus’ revolves around a practical joke that happened before the opera, in which Gabriel von Eisenstein got Dr. Falke drunk, dressed him up in a bat costume and left him on a park bench overnight.” She said the opera is about Dr. Falke’s revenge. “It’s another big joke. The basic plot is

he convinces Eisenstein to attend a party at Prince Orlofsky’s,” Preis said. “He also invited Eisenstein’s wife, Rosalinde, who is in disguise. His wife has a lover she’s trying to keep under wraps.” She continued, “Eisenstein goes to this party thinking he’s going to pick up a girl, so there’s a lot of foolishness. Eisenstein ends up flirting with his wife, who’s in disguise, and trying to get her.” Preis said Rosalinde’s maid, Adele, is also at the party, pretending to be a starlet. “Eisenstein recognizes his wife’s maid, and she says ‘Oh, no no. I’m not a maid. I’m a star,’ ” she said. “There’s a lot of silliness. There’s also a drunken jailer who’s always funny when he’s on stage.” In addition to the 19 performances at OIO’s own mountainside venue in Inspiration Point, Preis said there will be three Sunday matinees at the Arts Center of the Ozarks in Springdale. This season also includes special opera events and outreach productions taking place at a variety of venues across Northwest Arkansas, including children’s outreach productions of “Cinderella” at area libraries and community venues. “It offers people an opportunity to see a show for free because the libraries don’t charge their patrons,” Preis said. “From the standpoint of our students, it’s a See Opera, page 11

Ross gets GOP nod for sheriff By Scott Loftis

CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com

Jim Ross will be the Republican nominee for Carroll County sheriff in the November general election. In Tuesday’s runoff election, Ross defeated Alan Hoos by 23 votes to win the Republican nomination. Unofficial final results released Tuesday night show Ross, a school resource officer for the Berryville Police Department and a former Berryville postmaster, with 542 votes (51.1 percent). Hoos, former chief deputy for the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, received 519 votes (48.9 percent). Ross will face Democratic Party nominee Mark Bailey, a CCSO sergeant and

tremendous opportunity for our youngest singers who are not experienced enough to get main stage big roles to have a role in these operas for children.” She continued, “They get acting instruction, musical instructions and a lot of coaching. It’s their opportunity to settle in and perform the role multiples time because we’re doing 13 performances of Cinderella. Everything is double-cast, so each cast gets six or seven performances.” This experience makes a huge difference for young singers, she said, because it allows them to work through their nerves and improve their performance skills. “The first time, you’re scared to death. The second time, you’re starting to get a feel for it,” Preis said. The third and fourth time, you’re starting to get good at it. By the end, they’ve learned a tremendous amount.” This year, she said OIO has 39 students from across the country, including Washington, California, Michigan, Texas, Massachusetts and New York. “This year, we have a particularly wide geographic mix,” she said. “We basically touch every corner of the United States. It has been a very successful pro-

chief of the Alpena Police Department, in the general election on Nov. 6. The winner will serve a four-year term after a change in state law. Bailey was unopposed in the May 22 preferential primary. Two-term incumbent Sheriff Randy Mayfield, a Democrat, did not seek re-election. Ross and Hoos had advanced to the runoff by finishing first and second, respectively, among three Republican candidates in the May 22 primary. In other results, incumbent Jeffery B. Usrey defeated challenger Nick Samac in the Republican runoff for constable of Polo township. Usrey received 38 votes (54.3 percent), compared with 32 votes (45.7 percent) for Samac.

The only other race on the runoff ballot in Carroll County was for the Republican nomination for the District 83 seat in the Arkansas House of Representatives. Donald Ragland of Marshall carried Carroll County by a single vote over Newton County Sheriff Keith Slape. Ragland got 42 votes and Slape received 41 in Carroll County. Slape won the runoff, however, with a district-wide total of 1,382 votes (50.8 percent) while Ragland received 1,338 votes (49.2 percent). Tuesday’s results do not include three provisional ballots. The Carroll County Election Commission will meet Monday, June 25, to review those ballots.

gram. We have graduates of our program on the stage of every major opera house in the world.” Preis said OIO has also been making improvements to its campus to make visiting a better experience for both the students and the audience. “I’m on a big safety kick,” she said. “The theater is considerably more audience-friendly than it was in the past. We’re trying to make the campus look a little bit more attractive. All of those things are designed to enhance the visitor’s experience.” Preis continued, “We changed the steps to the dining hall and women’s dorm to make them safer. We added railings in the theater to make it safer. We added a few steps here and there to make it easier to negotiate. There’s just 100 little things constantly happening.” The idea, she said, is to improve the audience’s experience and make things safer for the students. “Eventually, we’d like to grow into the 21st century before it’s over,” Preis said. One of the most important learning experiences that OIO’s young artists encounter, she said, is the value of collegiality. “These are people they’re going to encounter for the rest of their opera careers,” she said. “Something we try to

impress on people here is that in the op-

era world, as in the theatrical world, the first question that gets asked when you try to get a job is ‘What is this person like to work with?’ ” Preis continued, “People will hear your audition and say ‘OK, fine. Their voice is good.’ But when they’re starting to check people off, they will ask ‘Is she a pain in the butt or is she OK to work with?’ It’s the first thing people ask about singers. It makes all the difference in hiring decisions.” Not all students who attend OIO pursue opera careers, she said. “What we’re offering here is a transformational experience,” Preis said. “For some, they will leave here fired up, saying ‘I want to sing opera. I want to do everything it takes to have a career.’ ” She concluded, “Others will leave here saying ‘That was fun, but I don’t want to do this for a living.’ As far as I’m concerned, that’s fine. They’ve had the experience of the collegiate atmosphere and striving for excellence. Whether they become an opera singer or a lawyer, they’ve had a good experience that teaches them a great deal about who they are as people.”
