Home is total loss in Monday fire By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

A Buck Mountain resident lost his home in a fire on Monday afternoon. The resident, Bobby Lewis, was uninjured, having left his home two hours before the fire. A neighbor noticed the blaze around 1 p.m. By the time the fire department arrived on the scene, the house had already collapsed. The house was de-

stroyed, but the fire department still worked to remove the tin roof and extinguish the fire. According to Randy Ates, public information officer for Eureka Springs Fire & EMS, tankers ran between the closest fire hydrant and the scene for several hours to contain the fire. “We went with defensive operations, basically just protecting exposures and making sure the fire stayed confined to

the burned home,” firefighter Josh Bryant said, saying the home was “completely burned” when the firefighters arrived on the scene. Eureka Springs Fire & EMS brought an engine, two squads, a brush truck, and three tankers; Holiday Island sent a tanker, a brush truck and extra manpower to assist. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined because of the collapsed roof and burned debris.

Lewis lived in an older manufactured trailer house with an added garage, roof, extra rooms, and basement storage area. Lewis’ neighbor, Gladys Towell, has set up a benefit fund to help him rebuild his home. “He’s kind of a quiet man, but we’ve got to get him some help,” Towell said. “We want him to know that people care.” To donate to Lewis’ fund, call or visit Cornerstone Bank.

Council approves fluoride resolution By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

The Eureka Springs City Council on Monday adopted a resolution stating its opposition to a plan to add fluoride to the city’s water supply. A law passed by the Arkansas Legislature in 2011 requires any city that serves more than 5,000 residents to add fluoride to its drinking water. Eureka Springs purchases its water from the Carroll Boone Water District, which is preparing to comply with the state law. Opponents to fluoridation say that fluoride poses major health risks to humans. Several residents spoke against

and grant utility easements, giving Marble Flats LLC the opportunity to install utilities. Instead of passing an ordinance refunding the outstanding 2008 and 2010 water sewer revenue to allow for the building of a new hospital, the council opted to propose a resolution to the Arkansas Allegiance Group LLC preceding a building contract. The resolution states that the city will support the water supply of a future hospital if Allegiance will commit to building the hospital. Council members agreed to table further discussion on rezoning the old high school property.

ES School Board hires band teacher By Kathryn Lucariello

CCNhi@cox-internet.com

EUREKA SPRINGS – The Eureka Springs School Board called a special meeting for Tuesday, July 29, to discuss transportation and to hire several new staff members. The board returned from executive session and approved the hire of Barry L. Milner as middle and high school band teacher. Milner is currently living in Cynthiana, Ky. He studied music education, with an emphasis on composition, at the University of Arkansas.

Former music teacher Chad Martin had a hearing on July 8 to challenge the non-renewal of his contract. The school board voted to support the non-renewal, and Martin said Monday he is still considering whether Barry L. Milner the appeal. Superintendent David Kellogg ref-

erenced a board discussion at the regular meeting July 24 about using motor coaches instead of traditional school buses for student trips away from campus. Transportation Supervisor John Kesler recommended them and said they present fewer mechanical problems than regular school buses. Kellogg said Tuesday he had not been able to get more information from the Alma School District, which has 10 motor coaches it has used with success since 1990, as officials were away on summer vacation.

He said one motor coach will have no problem transporting all the teams at once for away games. “This [last] year we have been playing four games a night in conference, but we will be playing three teams instead of four [this year],” he said. “The coach seats 47.” The board also approved the hire of Shonna Roberts as a high school science teacher, added summer school to Dawn Eckhart’s bus driver duties, and Kesler will also be a bus driver in addition to his duties as transportation supervisor.

STO asks commission to toss SWEPCO proposal By Scott Loftis

CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com

Save The Ozarks on Tuesday asked the Arkansas Public Service Commission to immediately deny Southwestern Electric Power Co.’s proposal to construct a high-voltage power line that would run through Carroll and Benton counties. The request, made by STO attorney Mick Harrison of Bloomington, Ind., in a letter to APSC Secretary Michael Sappington, came in response to SWEPCO’s announcement that it would need several months to comply with the commission’s request for more evidence to support its proposal. The APSC had initially approved the project, but later reversed that decision and said it would conduct a second hearing on the issue. In a July 3 letter to the commission, an attorney representing SWEPCO said the company would submit more evidence in support of its proposal — but not until January 2015.

“STO respectfully suggests that the commission consider a different procedural approach,” Harrison wrote in Tuesday’s letter. “In light of the commission’s findings, the appropriate approach is for the commission to deny SWEPCO’s application now and close the current docket, and for SWEPCO to re-apply to the commission for whatever new project, if any, SWEPCO concludes in the future is supported by the results of its yet to be completed studies.” STO contends that SWEPCO’s intentions to delay submitting the requested information to the ASPC is unfair to property owners who could be affected by the power-line project. “Save the Ozarks maintains that the approach proposed by SWEPCO is not reasonable in light of the constraints and uncertainties that landowners affected by this proposal have suffered since SWEPCO submitted its application,” Harrison wrote. “Landowners have been facing loss of both property and property values. Many have held back on

implementing plans they had for their properties — dreams have been held in abeyance. If the commission continues proceedings in this docket while SWEPCO conducts its new evaluations, this ordeal landowners have been enduring will continue for another year or more. Because the commission’s findings equate to a finding that SWEPCO could not meet its burden to justify the application that it submitted for a new 345kV transmission line, STO requests that the commission deny SWEPCO’s current application rather than keeping this docket open.” Should the commission opt to keep the case open, Harrison requested that STO be given several months to review and respond to whatever new evidence SWEPCO eventually submits. If that request is not granted, Harrison asks that the commission instruct SWEPCO to provide STO with documentation as it is prepared before being submitted to the commission. “In addition, STO proposes, if the com-

mission declines to accept STO’s primary recommendation stated at the beginning of this letter that the commission deny SWEPCO’s original application now and close this docket, that the commission order SWEPCO to reimburse STO’s and the other intervenors’ experts and attorneys’ fees going forward,” Harrison wrote. SWEPCO’s plans call for the 345,000volt line to run from its Shipe Road station west of Centerton in Benton County to a proposed new station on the Kings River near Berryville. The right-of-way for the transmission line, or the area to be clear-cut and then kept clear using herbicides, would be 150 feet wide and each tower would be between 130 and 160 feet tall. The cost of the project cost is estimated at between $90 million and $117 million. In its initial application, SWEPCO said it hoped to being constructing the line in March 2015 and begin use by June 2016.

ES School District receives prestigious bus safety award By Kathryn Lucariello

CCNhi@cox-internet.com

EUREKA SPRINGS – “We basically passed everything – no burned-out tail lights, no weedy steps, nothing wrong,” said Eureka Springs School District Transportation Supervisor John Kesler at the July 24 school board meeting. He was referring to the district winning an award as best in the state for bus transportation safety from the Arkansas Association of Pupil Transportation. The award was given recently at a conference in Hot Springs. Kesler said the safety award program started in 2012, and the association visits school districts around the state every year to “go over everything from top to bottom – it’s very thorough.” He said that in addition to looking at everything on the buses themselves, judges also look at the facilities; whether the mechanics wear ear muffs and safety glasses; how clean and organized things are; whether two fire drills are conducted on each route each year and in each classroom; and also inspect paperwork to make sure drivers keep up with physicals, current licenses and whether they’ve received any tickets or reprimands. He said Eureka Springs had the best record in the state this year – everything was in tip-top shape, and nothing was at fault. “I want to commend Mr. Kesler and Hal Hicks,” said Superintendent David Kellogg. The board heard a quick presentation from Craig Hull of the Osage Group on a Hazard Mitigation Plan that he and his wife are working on for the City of Eureka Springs. The plan includes the schools. Hull said the city had retained him to “qualify the community for non-emergency remedies” from FEMA, following a disaster. A plan must be in place to receive funds. He spoke about some problematic areas in Eureka Springs, such as the underground aqueducts, through which Leatherwood Creek flows, being in danger of collapsing because they have

been neglected for more than a hundred years, and the possible breaking of Black Bass Dam, which he said is not stable. A moment of humor ensued when Hull said, “What happens if that goes? There are just a few homes and a few people below it,” and everyone pointed at board member Sam Kirk, whose home is slightly above and adjacent to the dam. Hull asked whether the school district wants to consider building a “safe room” for students to retreat to during tornadoes and noted they can be expensive, $250 to $400 per square foot. “FEMA said it could be about $250,000 for a small tornado room to hold 250 to 300 kids,” said Kellogg. “It’s not just about tornadoes, it’s everything,” Hull said. “Help me, and it will be your plan,” he added by way of asking for the community’s input. “Don’t help me, and it will go on the shelf. Help me make reason with these bean-counters.” In other business, the board: • Approved changes to the student handbooks for all three schools. The cell phone policy will change due to overloading of the wifi network last year. The school is upgrading to a system that can handle increased traffic, but students will have to log their devices in under their full names, and their surfing will be tracked. • Approved increases to meal prices, mostly a 10-cent increase. • Approved paying $1,485 in attorney fees on the ongoing school millage lawsuit. • Approved the transfer of $1,030,000 from the operating fund to the building fund. • Approved a list of salary increases of 5 percent or more for the 2012-13 fiscal year and 2013-14 school year per Act 1120, enacted by the state legislature last year. • Approved the transfer of four students to Berryville and one student from Berryville. • Approved resurfacing the middle

Turpentine Creek gets three more cats EUREKA SPRINGS – Recently Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge took in three more big cats from a former privately owned zoo in upstate New York. The tiger and two leopards came from a zoo that had been shut down in 2007 and which the owners had been struggling to keep afloat. “I’m just tired and can’t handle all the long days,” said the former owner. The tiger, Rayn, was a challenge to acquire. She did not want to get into the small cage provided, and handlers had to sedate her with two doses of tranquilizer. She was then carried by tractor bucket to go to the trailer in a separate compartment. But she is adjusting well, personnel said. “She has a very sweet disposition and is very friendly with all the staff members.” Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge is located on Hwy. 23 South, south of Eureka Springs. It was started in 1992 and is involved in the rescue and care of abandoned, abused and neglected big cats, with emphasis on tigers, lions, leopards and cougars. The refuge also houses other animals. The refuge is in the process of re-

Campaign seeks to encourage Beaver Lake water quality LOWELL – A new campaign to encourage users of Beaver Lake to think about and protect water quality has been launched by the Beaver Water District, which supplies drinking water to the major cities of the I-49 corridor. Beaver Lake also supplies drinking water to three major cities in Carroll County and Harrison in Boone County from the Carroll-Boone Water District, whose intake is off Highway 187 in Eureka Springs. "Give Beaver Lake a Break" is the theme of the campaign, which uses a yellow rubber duck to raise awareness. The campaign will be advertised on TV, radio, movie screens and in newspapers in northwest Arkansas. The ads will show an animated rubber duck, as well as people fishing, hiking and en-

joying the parks around the lake. “The Water District wanted to communicate simple practices everyone can do to help protect the lake’s water quality,” Wilson said. “We decided that our rubber ducky would be a fun and original way to get our audience’s attention.” The commercials encourage lake users to properly dispose of waste, including trash, human waste and pet waste. Boaters are shown collecting floating trash from the lake's surface and other users are shown properly disposing of waste. The ads also educate people not to feed ducks, geese and other waterfowl, as doing so can disrupt their natural foraging habits, leading to overpopulation, malnutrition and increased animal waste in the lake.

Death at the Springs: Historian looks deeper into Eureka’s healing waters By Jennifer Jackson

JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com

In February of 1882, Governor Cadwallader Washburn of Wisconsin checked into Eureka Springs’ Perry House in hopes that the waters would cure his epilepsy, which had been getting progressively worse. The family sent word back to Wisconsin to prepare for a state funeral. Then in late March, a report went out on the newswire to newspapers across the county: “Governor Washburn is feeling a lot healthier.” A few weeks later, he was dead. That prominent people came to Eureka Springs and were not cured was a focus of research by author and historian Timothy Kovalcik. Last Monday, Dr. Kovalcik presented an overview of his research at the Inn of the Ozarks. The title of his presentation: “Death at the Springs: Early accounts of politicians and partisans who came to Eureka and were not healed.” “There’s no doubt that some people came here and were healed,” Kovalcik said. “But between 1883 and 1900, there are lots of stories about people who didn’t get healed. The graveyard is full of these stories.” Kovalcik is a 1992 Eureka Springs High School graduate who teaches history at Millikin College in Decatur, Ill. He returns to his hometown in the summer to research topics for books and articles at the Eureka Springs Historical Museum, which sponsored the presentation. His focus: the history of Eureka in the 1880s and 1890s, for which the archives on the museum’s top floor are a gold mine. “A lot of my research starts with walking through the third floor and asking ‘What’s in this box?’ he said. In the case of “Death at the Springs,” it was a letter from the wife of the first editor of “The Echo” newspaper. In the letter, written in September of 1879, Mrs. Adams reported seeing her first black person, and that the man was ill and died of dropsy,

fluid retention in the body tissue, a condition now called edema. She also wrote that people were starting to flood into Eureka Springs seeking a cure for what ailed them. “In July of 1879, there were 300 people in Eureka Springs,” Kovalcik said. “By February of 1880, thousands of people were here.” ]Kovalcik became intrigued by how word of the healing waters spread so quickly. The main reason, he found: Newswires went out to newspapers across the county reporting that the waters have healing powers. Through research, Kovalcik discovered the newswires were often sent by hotel owners and the mayor, which in the case of the Perry House, was the same person. Originally, people claimed the waters of the springs would cure everything but consumption, he said, a claim that broadened to include everything including cancer,. “In the 1880s, the propaganda machine was in full swing,” he said. “The newspapers were used as social media.” The nation’s health craze and a national competition for the title of town with the purest water contributed to the intense interest, Kovalcik said. Testimonials by people saying they were cured also served to bolster Eureka’s reputation. The validity of the springs’ healing powers was a controversial subject, however, even back then, which Kovalcik found surprising. “It was a 50/50 split,” he said. “Some people considered Eureka Springs the greatest thing ever. Other people thought it was humbug.” Among the latter were the relatives of Sen. Benjamin Hill of Georgia. Hill came from Washington, D.C. to take the waters in the spring of 1882 in hopes of curing advanced throat cancer. In May, a newswire went out reporting that “the senator is taking the waters, sitting up and eating beefsteak.” When the senator passed away, it surprised everyone, Kovalcik said, including his constituents, who were

expecting him to return to his home state alive. Kovalcik said he used the National Database of Historical Newspapers to find articles referencing Eureka Springs in the 1880s and ‘90s, with the goal of putting the town’s sudden rise to prominence in context. He plans to have the articles photocopied and available at the Eureka Springs Historical Museum. The museum is located at 95 S. Main. Open daily 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. $5 Admission fee.

Guest Commentary Questions left unanswered in Martin episode

took my daughter, who is a middle school band student, to the public hearing for Mr. Martin a few weeks back. I thought this would do a few things. One, open the door for her to experience our justice system, as much as you can at a public hearing in front of a school board, and two, for both of us to get some answers as to what is going on with the band situation. You don’t have to have kids in school here to know there is a band situation going on, just read this paper. You see, I have three daughters, one in the elementary, one in the middle school and one in high school all here in Eureka. We are still kind of “newbies” as we have only been here a little over four years. Townsfolk have just told us when we got the new principal, the problems between the administration and the band began, that the band was great and active just before we relocated. We heard the band was awesome. The year we moved here, my middle daughter was not old enough to be in the band, but man did she want to. I remember seeing them in parades that year, and the bonfire and the band at the ballgames. We had never seen a school band that played fight songs and Ozzy in the same set, and had an electric guitar. It was pretty cool. She could not wait to join band and I could not wait either. But then we saw a few things over the next few years that were not that cool. They were not in parades, they were not at the basketball games, where did the electric guitar kid go? She finally got to middle school and joined the band. She loved her teacher, Mr. Martin and for us parents that was a pretty big deal. But still, no parades, not much of anything for the public from the band that we saw. What we did see an appreciation for music that our daughter did not have before, we did hear her practice every night and go from not very pleasant to pretty freaking awesome in a short amount of time. We also saw her become interested in other types of instruments, not just what she played in band. So the balance was there for us. Many things were brought up at that hearing. We stayed there from 5:30 when it was supposed to start, to 6:30 when it did start to near midnight when it was finally over. Many things were not brought up. The list of things

the principals of the schools wanted Mr. Martin to fulfill was brought up. And I fully understand what they were saying, wanting, and I fully understand that they felt this list was not met. I, too, as a parent have felt disappointed with the lack of what is going on with band. Where is the band? What was not brought up in this meeting is the money amounts printed in this paper. In the May 15th issue it stated that the music budget was $14,000 a year and that there is no budget for it at all now. It said the sports program has a budget of $134,000. This was not brought up in the public hearing. I had assumed since it was a public hearing that we, the public would have been able to speak. I assumed wrong, but I had planed to ask about this specifically. Is this true? Can someone answer this? If it is then there is the problem. How can one band teacher do what we want him to do with a budget of zero? Why does my daughter who plays sports get the benefit of cash when my daughter who plays music does not? Is this not true? I also heard our principal, and so did so many of our kids, talk about how bad the band was, how hard it is to hear them play. Our kids were right there in that room; it is was hard for them to hear that over and over. And lastly, what left me the most confused about this hearing was the question of fairness. Was Mr. Martin fairly fired? His attorney said he was not under the fair teacher dismissal act. Is this true? See, us the public, did not have access to the files the attorneys shared with the school board. Maybe that is a public record somewhere and someone can lead me to this information? Was this right? From what I gathered, they made a list for him, they felt he did not comply, he gave reasons for why he either did not or could not comply with their list or he stated that he had complied to their list and he was fired anyway. It just felt wrong. It felt like it was for show and their minds were already made up. The bottom line here, to me, is that we still do not understand. I am here, for my kids, asking why? Sincerely, Tara Langley-Asmus Sophie, Maggie and Deidra’s mom

Search and Rescue

Photos by Chip Ford

12 people set out on a float, only six came back. It flooded yesterday and the Kings water level is rushing. Information is sketchy, but someone saw a canoe float by with no one in it. The search area is about a one-mile stretch of the river around Trigger Gap. That was the mock rescue scenario for the Carroll County SORT training exercises on Sunday morning, hosted by SORT Team Secretary Mike FitzPatrick. The objectives – find and report missing persons, observe all safety and control protocols, and interface appropriately with family and pubic.

Caleb Culhane, Billy Emmons and Josh Bryant lift the mock victim (Shaune Emmons), whom they extracted from a cave along the river and who had sustained a broken leg.

Event host Mike FitzPatrick kicks off the exercise by asking who will step up to be the Incident Commander.

Chuck Welch stepped up to act as the Incident Commander, setting up various teams and then sending them out into the search area.

Calendar of Events Now through Sept. 1: Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie at Crystal Bridges

Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie is now on view at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art through September 1. The exhibition explores the renowned architect’s structures and the philosophy that shapes them. Featured in the exhibition are more than 100 objects, including drawings, sketches, videos, photographs and scale models, which will be on display at Crystal Bridges during the summer of 2014. The exhibition surveys Safdie’s career from his formative period in the 1960s and early 1970s to his more recent projects around the world, exploring his masterful use of light and geometry and his inspired architectural conversation with the history and landscape of each site. Global Citizen examines Safdie’s architecture not only as visual art but as a medium for advancing social, political and cultural goals. Safdie’s designs exemplify “progressive contextualism”- a way of thinking globally about building. His works combine the social activism and advanced technologies of modernism with a profound respect for historical and regional context.

Now through Sept. 15: American Encounters: Anglo-American Portraiture in an Era of Revolution

This exhibition provides a close look at five portraits that demonstrate how American and European portraitists influenced one another’s styles in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Village View

Alison By Sandra TaylorSynar Brown

“Literary fiction has shied away from love scenes,” Pat Carr told me. “It’s time to bring them back and do them right.” She’ll be teaching us how in her workshop entitled Love Scenes and Other Major Scenes on August 9 from 1-4 pm.

Framing the Love Scene

f you can write a scene, you can write anything. Scenes are the paving stones, the two-by-fours, the bricks, the cornices and the roof tiles of narrative; they’re what we remember about stories. They’re the memorable moments of Elizabeth Bennett refusing Mr. Darcy, of Nora Barnacle pacing the Dublin wharf waiting for James Joyce to arrive, of an exhausted Willy Loman dropping his sample cases on the kitchen floor. Scenes make narratives come alive. And since we have only scene and summary to use in creating a narrative — and scenes are the “show” in the writing ubiquitous advice of “Show, don’t tell” — they’re reserved for those moments we as authors want readers to see and feel and become involved with. There are five major scenes necessary for any narrative, but the love scene is probably the most important and the most difficult of those scenes to frame— that scene which has become obligatory in most contemporary films and novels — so let’s focus on it. Writers need to handle love scenes with confidence, competence and experience, and I think they therefore need to be familiar with the steps to intimacy, which all primates follow. But since sex isn’t really a spectator sport, how does a writer capture the essence of a sexually charged encounter with words on a page? What is the language of love? (Note that in British and American English, most words suggesting sexual encounters are derogatory, and sometimes it seems that contemporary literary authors know every four-letter

word except “love” and “care.”) But for the love scene, what mix of action, description and conversation is necessary? When does description of human anatomy cease to be intriguing and titillating, albeit tasteful, and slide into comedy? How much detail is simply too much information? Perhaps the first requirement for the writer of a love scene is to know his characters. What would appeal to them? What would attract them? In addition, he must know his setting. While eyes still dilate with sexual interest when lovers meet, culture plays a part in the attraction game, and a love scene set in Victorian England or the antebellum South won’t be the same as one occurring in contemporary Los Angeles. (Edith Wharton left explicit writing about sex in her papers, but her world was too confined for sex to enter her fiction.) One other thing —t he author needs to have an ending in mind when he sets up the love scene. It may not be the ending he’ll eventually use, but he needs to have at least one in mind so he can plant the tension that keeps a reader reading. If the love affair is doomed, the reader needs foreshadowing hints; if the romance will end happily, the reader should be set up for that as well. All scenes need to be framed with the same care, but if as Chekhov wanted, the main characters are “He and She,” the love scene is pivotal, and Chekhov and I suggest that authors start with it. We’ll answer all the above questions, and more, in our workshop on Love Scenes & Other Major Scenes.

The Natural Way

A look at metformin

ast week I started with a series of columns in which I described how prescribed drugs can and often do interfere with the absorption of necessary nutrients. Jim Fain This is little known as it is rarely talked about. Nutritional deficiencies can be diagnosed as a new ailment contributing to having yet another prescription written. Common sense tells us the more drugs we take and the longer we take them the risk of nutritional deficiency would increase. In this column I’ll discuss the drug metformin (glucophage) commonly used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. I started last week’s column with the following; “In our nutty system which often pits medications/science against nutritional supplements the bias supporting medicine is usually given top dog status. Dire warnings abound that if you do this drug or that, then these supplements will interfere causing harm. Rarely, is there a balanced approach. Suppose the prescription medication bias with huge amounts of corporate money backing it is entirely backwards? Suppose the prescription drug is actually interfering with the absorption of the nutritional supplement. Suppose, it is well established that prescribed drugs often and commonly create new ailments by causing vitamin and mineral deficits ... what would you do? Think about this as this is more often the case than we can imagine”. Consider the possible impact of metformin, aka glucophage. It is well to consider that if you have been prescribed this to treat your high sugar and you feel tired regularly then you may have a vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency. Other symptoms of B12/folic acid deficiency include weakness or light-headedness, rapid heartbeat and breathing, pale skin, sore tongue, easy bruising or bleeding, including bleeding gums, stomach upset and weight loss and diarrhea or constipation. If you’ve been using this drug for a while or if your dosage is being increased apparently your risk is higher at having a nutritional deficiency. A simple blood test done by your doctor can tell you if this is happening. How to fix the problem is an easy question to answer. Remember, simply increasing B12/folic acid in your diet by eating red meat or dark green leafy veggies may not be enough as the drug interferes with absorption. Supplementing with B12 methylcobalamine, B complex and folic acid is almost always satisfactory. Curiously, adding highly absorbable calcium like AdvaCal can reverse malabsorption. Of course, reducing your dosage, if possible, of the drug likely would benefit, too. Do this only with your doctor’s supervision.

Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: Success takes ability, luck and lots of fertilizer. You have two components ready to go, now you just need to find a skill besides talking bullcrap, unless you want to go into politics. TAURUS: You’re slow to act, so when you start to make a move on Wednesday, give a warning yelp. That way, the pigeons roosting on you won’t be quite as startled. GEMINI: Don’t pay any attention if someone says a current situation serves you right. You should only be offended if it serves you wrong, because that salad fork is crucial. CANCER: On Thursday, no one knows best so ignore the person claiming to be an expert. Of course, watching their butt cheeks flap as they talk out of them can at least give you a giggle. LEO: The answer you need on Sunday is either tequila, Twitter or high colonics, but not all three unless you plan on breaking the Internet. Leave some things to the imagination. VIRGO: You have an irresistible opportunity this week. Don’t wait for it to knock, just throw open the door when you see it coming up the steps. It will be worth it. LIBRA: You’re so full of creative energy, it sloshes around on the carpet and furniture. No need to rent a steam cleaner, just add some more color and call it art. No painting the dog, though. SCORPIO: If life is like a box of chocolates, then your center is one of those weird banana creams that no one likes. Build up your caramel muscles before someone sticks a thumb in you and puts you back in the box. SAGITTARIUS: Everyone needs some guidance now and again, but the helper monkey might be a bit much. On the plus side, he does throw poo at people you don’t like. This could be the longest rela-

tionship you ever have. CAPRICORN: You don’t need any help finding trouble. In fact, you’re the Google Maps of poor decisions and shady opportunities. Recalculate your path before you end up in a Lifetime movie. AQUARIUS: Pushing yourself too much? Your hamster is still on his wheel, but he’s wheezing hard. Lighten up a little and let him tip-

Lively Entertainment By Kristal Kuykendall

Everyone digs a girl band

verybody loves an all-girl musical group. Why? Well, that’s for you to discuss among yourselves, LOL, but the fact remains. Even us straight chicks dig a band that can play well that’s made up of all women. Girl power! Right?! This Sunday night, one of the Mountain Home area’s most unique and gifted exports, in my opinion, performs at Chelsea’s Corner Cafe & Bar – and, you guessed it, it’s a band made up of solely females. Formerly known as the Blue Delphiniums, the Ozark Mountain Maybelles perform what they call “honky-swamp” or Americana-roots music, playing mostly originals that are extremely well-written. Both members of the duo – Amy Leigh and Gracie Lane – sing and play guitar, and every now and then you’ll be treated to a resonator guitar played like a dobro, a ukelele-looking thing, and/or a bass.

Both have fabulous voices, terrific projection and the kind of pronunciation required for listeners to actually understand the lyrics. In all, a very skilled set of musicians, and my understanding is that they’re just getting started, being a youngish band and all. Check out my online blog at LovelyCitizen.com/blogs/1880 to see a video of the girls at a prior performance. Sunday’s performance at Chelsea’s is free and open to all ages. It begins around 7:30 p.m. Chelsea’s is located at 10 Mountain St., 479-253-6723.

Dispatch

accident on Passion Play Road. Officers checked Passion Play Road and found no accident or evidence of one. CCSO then advised that the accident was near Alpena. That’s not too far, right? July 25 1:32 a.m. — An alarm went off at a grocery store. The keyholder and officers responded, finding everything to be secure. 2:04 a.m. — A routine traffic stop resulted in the arrest of a female subject for DWI number two, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and an ordinance for a loud muffler. A loud muffler?! Despicable. 10:45 a.m. — A concerned citizen reported driving by the Stonegate and seeing a man and woman fighting. Officers responded and found it was only a verbal argument. 4:52 p.m. — An officer responded to a one-vehicle motorcycle accident on Main St. EMS was paged and the bike was towed. The driver was uninjured. 6:40 p.m. — An officer responded to a call from a female advising that her ex-boyfriend was threatening her. He took her information. She later called and said he was threatening suicide, prompting local police to visit him in Madison County for a welfare check. He was fine and was advised to stop contacting his ex-girlfriend. 11:35 p.m. — The fire department requested that officers check an address in Holiday Island after being informed of an attempted suicide. An officer checked the given address but couldn’t locate the person. July 26 12:39 a.m. — An officer contacted residents about a noise complaint and asked them to quiet down. 1:20 a.m. — A routine traffic stop resulted in the arrest of a female subject for DWI.

2:13 p.m. — A complainant came into the Police Department lobby requesting to speak with an officer about some items that were stolen from his residence. An officer gathered information and took the report. 2:22 p.m. — A complainant advised officers of a Volkswagen with Oregon plates parked in Employee Parking behind a building with a male and a baby sitting inside for several hours, finding it suspicious. The officer responded and discovered that the male was waiting for his girlfriend to get off work. Those Oregon people are very suspicious, indeed. 3:30 p.m. — Officers responded to a tree caught on a power line. They moved parts of the tree in the roadway, allowing a car to travel past. They notified SWEPCO about the power line and public works about the limbs. 4:55 p.m. — A caller asked officers to do a welfare check on a disoriented female. Officers went to her address and found she no longer lives there, being advised by her ex-boyfriend that she now lives somewhere near Bluebird. 11:19 p.m. — A woman reported a fight occurring in a business. When officers arrived, the subjects fled the scene but were quickly found. One of the subjects was arrested. Kudos on actually finding the subjects ... that doesn’t happen often. July 27 1:30 a.m. — A traffic stop at 1876 resulted in a DWI arrest. 4:15 a.m. — A male subject advised that his friend had been kicked out of a vehicle while intoxicated and was at a Best Western, asking officers to hold his friend until he could arrive from Fayetteville to pick him up. His friend wasn’t located at either Best Western in town, but officers received

a phone call that he was walking toward Berryville. They contacted CCSO. 5:37 p.m. — A caller reported people yelling outside near the library. An officer made contact only with a city worker who hadn’t heard anyone else. Hey, at least they weren’t yelling IN the library. 5:57 a.m. — A man advised that his girlfriend had punched him multiple times and was throwing his belongings out the door. An officer contacted the subjects and took the male subject to the Wagner Inn to stay until things got settled. He found that the argument was verbal, not physical. So... she punched him with words? 8:40 a.m. — A caller advised that the trash dumpster at the auditorium was pushed up against the AC unit and was leaning on it. The officer responded, moved the dumpster, and found that the AC was undamaged. 10:47 a.m. — An officer arrested a male suspect on a traffic stop for driving on a suspended license and lacking VL. 12:05 p.m. — A caller reported a one-vehicle accident at the Victorian. An officer responded and arrested a female for driving with a suspended license, also filing a report for the accident. 1:43 p.m. — A man requested to talk to an officer because someone had damaged his cable box and some screens to his apartment. The officer responded and made no report, advising that the cable box is property of the cable company with which the subject would need to file a report. July 28 12:17 a.m. — During a routine traffic stop, a man was arrested for DWI, speeding, and refusal to cooperate. 1:32 a.m. — A man reported that he had struck a deer near Hillside Apartments.

Continued from page 3

AT&T was notified. 3:35 p.m. — The owner of a business had questions about a mobile home that has been parked on the property for a while, hoping to have it towed. An officer advised her that since it’s on commercial property it cannot be towed without the owner’s permission. 3:38 p.m. — An employee at a convenience store reported that a semi-truck came through and damaged trash and recycle bins on the corner of Flint and Main. Public Works was notified. 8:45 p.m. — A sergeant witnessed two men holding a sign that was at the top of Planer Hill. The men told the officer they found it that way and just picked it up. The officer took their information and planned to notify Public Works the next morning. Find a sign, pick it up … 10:44 p.m. — A male driver was witnessed speeding and crossing the yellow line. He was pulled over and and a field sobriety test was performed. He fell over multiple times. He was taken to the police department for further testing and released with a citation. 10:50 p.m. — Officers responded to a party where underage drinking was supposed to be going on. The home was quiet and only one light was on. July 24 10:55 a.m. — A caller reported a green Toyota pickup swerving all over the road, last seen heading westbound on Highway 62 from Eureka Suites.

Naked Lady Party

Photos by Chip Ford

The annual Naked Lady Party was held at dusk on Sunday at Patti Corcelli’s residence along East Mountain. The event is designed as a gathering to celebrate the life and creativity of artist and former home owner Julie Traxler. More than 80 locals gather to witness the amazement of the blooming of an estimated 1,500 belladonnas – 5,000plus bulbs are believed to lie just below the soil.
