Carroll Electric ‘inadvertently’ violates no-spray policy By Kathryn Lucariello
CCNhi@cox-internet.com
NEWTON COUNTY — The matter might have died quietly had a Carroll Electric employee not allegedly asked an upset property owner not to go to the press. But Meg Mauro did just that after her property in Marble Falls was sprayed with herbicides by the electric cooperative corporation, even though her land is properly listed on the “no spray” list. Mauro said she put her property on the list when Carroll Electric instituted it in 2010 in response to property owners concerned about the use of herbicides and who wished to have the utility keep their rights-of-way cleared manually. Mauro owns two properties in Newton County; she rents out the 12-acre Marble Falls property to a tenant, who is growing an organic garden. Mauro said her tenant contacted her about a week after Carroll Electric had come through and sprayed herbicides on the right-of-way. “My tenant sent me a video showing all the destruction, and even up in the trees, and the leaves were dying,” she said. “It happened July 17, but I didn’t find out about it for a week after that.” She said the spraying was “quite a big swath through my property,” and killed oaks, elms and other trees that were not in the right-of-way. “I need to find a landscaper to tell me how much it would cost to replace them,” Mauro said. “They weren’t in the right-of-way, and it was branches hanging over that were dead.” She said she called Carroll Electric, and Neil Rushing and a co-worker with the vegetation management department came out to talk to her. “They said ‘yeah, we messed up’ and said ‘we want to make it right; how about if we plant a few trees?’ I said ‘no, this is not near good enough,’ “ Mauro said. She said the right-of-way is close to where the tenant lives. The spraying occurred when the tenant was not home. “They sprayed 20 feet from his organic garden. It’s not certified, but he wants to eat healthy, and they sprayed really close,” Mauro said. Her other property is in Parthenon, Ark., also in Newton County, Mauro said. She said four years ago she turned in paperwork to have that property on the “no spray” list, but had broken her back and missed

A photo from Meg Mauro’s tenant shows a dead tree and other dead vegetation after Carroll Electric sprayed herbicides on a property that was on the “no spray” list. Mauro said there are several dead trees that are not in the right-of-way and that they likely died because of wind drift that carried the herbicide to them.
the deadline by two days. Carroll Electric sprayed 30 feet across the road from her, on property that was not hers, but it was close to her well. When she called, Rushing came out at the time, walked the property with her, and told her the cooperative would not spray there again, and it hasn’t. Rushing did not return a phone call as of press time, but Nancy Plagge, spokeswoman for Carroll Electric, confirmed the cooperative “did inadvertently spray on her property, and we have been in contact with her to make a restitution.” Plagge added, “She has not given us any direction as to how she wants it resolved, so we are in waiting mode with her. We will work with her to come to a
resolution.” Mauro said she is still exploring her options, but was not happy at being asked not to go the press, calling it “bullying” and “sweep us under the rug behavior.” “It’s like [the rest of] corporate America, where all the big businesses have the power, but somehow if we’re going to survive, that has to change.” She said she is motivated by concern for the environment and wants herbicide spraying to stop and for the utilities to “act responsibly.” Plagge said Carroll Electric is still investigating how the error occurred. The co-op has only had one other error like this, Plagge said “I think it speaks well of our program that we have had so very few errors made since we started out this program,” she said. “We come out and meet with landowners and physically mark the spans so the crews will know where to stop and start. We come back and do mapping on our system with the best information we have available to us, and those maps are provided to the contractors.” She said spraying only occurs during daylight, not in the middle of the night, as some rumors have circulated. In 2011, Kathy Turner filed suit against Carroll Electric for spraying herbicides on her land after she had informed the co-op she had a certified organic farm and her property boundaries were made clear to Carroll Electric and Progressive Solutions, the herbicide contractor. As a result, she lost her organic certification for three years and asked for damages for economic harm. The suit was later settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. Turner said later she negotiated a protection strategy with Carroll Electric and hasn’t had any problems since. Carroll Electric has an elaborate process for property owners to exempt their rights-of-way from herbicide spraying. The process involves obtaining an application form from Carroll Electric, which must be filled out, notarized and accompanied by a copy of the landowner’s deed and driver’s license, passport or some form of government-issued ID. Those who rent property and don’t want it sprayed See Violation, page 20

Poet of the Parks: Catching Up with Will LaPage By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
When he was 16 years old, Will LaPage fell in love. The object of his affection was not a person, but a place: Monadnock State Park in New Hampshire, where he got his first job. It entailed maintaining trails and lugging stuff up to visitor center Will LaPage on the summit of a mountain, but he loved it. “I became enamored of state parks,” he said. “I made up my mind, then and there, that some day I would be director of New Hampshire State Parks.” LaPage, who has Ph.D.s in forestry and natural resources policy, fulfilled that goal in 1984, serving as parks director until he retired in 1994. For the next decade, he taught at universities in Wyoming, Colorado and Maine before retiring from teaching. In 2004, he moved to Holiday Island, where he launched his third career: poet. “I can’t seem to make retirement stick,” he said. LaPage now lives in Briarcliff, Texas, where he was interviewed by phone. He continues to write, and has released a new book, “The Life of a Tree,” a collection of short stories and poems. The stories were written over the years, he said, with the possibility of turning them into novels. “I realized I wanted them to be short stories, not novels,” he said. “I also had a collection of 19 poems that had never been published, so combined them into one book.” After taking up his pen, LaPage was a poet in residence at two national parks and the Buffalo National River, publishing books of poetry after each stay. His
first book, “Voices from the Land,” was published in 2008 after a residency at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. “A Park is a Poem on the Land,” contains poems written after staying at Arcadia National Park in Maine. In 2009, LaPage spent three weeks as poet in residence at the Buffalo National River, which he describes as a “living American poem flowing across the landscape and into the heart.” “I fell in love with the Buffalo National River, probably the most intriguing public parkland I’ve ever visited,” LaPage said, “and I’ve visited quite a few around the world.” LaPage was a consultant for environmental projects in Croatia, Bulgaria, South Africa, El Salvador and Jamaica through the U.S. State Department and USAID. Closer to home, he volunteered with Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation, working with director Bruce Levine on policy and planning issues, including the master plan for Lake Leatherwood City Park. He was also a regular at the monthly “Poetluck” readings at Dairy Hollow Writers’ Colony. “I’ve been writing poems since I was a high school student,” he said. Two years ago, LaPage and spouse Susan Cockrell moved to Briarcliff, west of Austin, Texas, to be close to grandchildren. Now 80, LaPage writes two to three hours a day, he said, and is working on a novel, “The Fall of the Steward,” about a park ranger who returns to Scotland to explore his roots. LaPage is also the author of “Parks for Life” and “Rethinking Park Preservation,” and his first novel, “The Cliff Dwellers.” LaPage said he does miss Northwest Arkansas. He and Susan plan to divide their time in the future between Texas and a cabin near the Buffalo River. “A Day in the Life of a Tree: Sixteen Short Stories and Nineteen Long Poems.” 198 pages; softcover. $24.95.

The tunnels that run beneath downtown Eureka Springs are more than 100 years old. A group including Fire Chief Rhys Williams inspected the tunnels Monday.
Underground inspection reveals potential for problems By Kathryn Lucariello CCNhi@cox-internet.com
EUREKA SPRINGS — The City of Eureka Springs is working with Craig and Caelli Hull of the Osage Group to develop a hazard mitigation plan for the city, and one of the plan’s major concerns is what to do about the tunnels that run underground downtown. The tunnels are more than 100 years old. On Monday, Eureka Springs Fire Chief Rhys Williams, police officer Billy Floyd and Citizen photographer Chip Ford walked, crouched and crawled through numerous tunnels to assess their safety or lack thereof. Some employees
from Public Works went in at a couple locations. Craig Hull was to accompany the spelunkers through the tunnels, but realized quickly after entering, as he said, that he is “a little larger and a little older than some of those guys. I declined to crawl quite as low as would be required.” As Ford, who took more than 80 photographs, put it, many sections of the tunnels are “a disaster waiting to happen.” Ford said most of their movement was by crouching or standing, but there was a 30-foot section where they were crawling on their stomachs. “In this big room below the court-

Artist wraps up family memories By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
Six years ago this Christmas, Carla Garner’s mother passed away at the family home in Seligman, Mo. Forty-six days later, her father, Carl Mitchell, passed away. Fanschon and Carl Mitchell had been married 67 years. Garner is the youngest of their three children and the only daughter. Garner, who lives next door to the house she grew up in, took care of her mother before she died, and was very close to both parents. So she held onto the things that reminded her of them: the black glasses her father always wore, her mother’s wristwatch, the bracelet her father brought back from the war, the pearls her mother wore. Now, Garner wears all of those things – at once – in a memory necklace created for her by Joanna Hannah. “I can’t wait to wear it, and for my cousins to see it,” Garner said when she picked up the necklace last Monday. Hannah is the owner of Crescent Moon Beads, a bead and jewelry shop on Spring Street. In addition to selling beads and jewelry-making supplies, she repairs and remakes jewelry, and creates fresh pieces from old jewelry. She also does custom orders incorporating family mementos — in Garner’s case, eyeglasses, a watch, rings, tie chains and pins. “I love sentimental things, so it’s very easy to envision,” Hannah said of creating the piece. “I’m a very sentimental person.” Like most custom orders, the memory necklace started when Garner came in the store and saw the pieces Hannah had made, and started talking about all the keepsakes of her parents she had. Last Monday, Garner brought them to Hannah at her Spring Street shop at 10:30 a.m., and at 1 p.m., picked up the fin-
ished necklace. Besides the eyeglasses, the necklace incorporates her father’s Frisco pin – he worked for the railroad in Seligman for 33 years– his Masonic pin, his American Legion pin and two tie chains, one with a cross. The necklace also incorporates her grandmother’s wedding ring, the gold band melted flat, a locket holding a gold nugget that Garner’s uncle sent her from Alaska, where he panned the gold piece himself, and a brooch in the shape of a donkey. “My father was a Democrat from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet,” Garner said. Since she started making wire-wrapped necklaces, Hannah no longer has to supplement her income from other sources, she said, but makes a living as an artist. Originally from Lancaster, Pa., she studied art at the Maryland Institute of Art. She and her husband moved to Eureka 37 years ago, and she worked in restaurants to support the family. She started working at Crescent Moon Beads 10 years ago, and bought the store eight years ago from Holly Ertel, who bought it from her mother, Cynthia Dupps. Dupps started the store 20 years ago. In addition to necklaces, Hannah makes pendants and earrings, using pieces of old jewelry she collects or is given. While it’s more work, she loves creating necklaces from buttons, brooches, rings and other family keepsakes that people bring in. “For me, it’s like collage,” Hannah said, “and this is more personal.” She also gives wire-wrapping lessons, and will guide people in creating a memory necklace in her shop. Her advice: Don’t worry about the design, just start in, keeping the wire loose so that placement of items can be adjusted. “Just keep going,” she said. “Don’t stop.”

Joanna Hannah completes a memory necklace for Carla Garner, who wanted to honor her parents.
Hannah used one section of a bracelet Carl Mitchell brought home from the war for his wife in the memory necklace, and remade the rest into a pendant and matching bracelet for Garner. By wearing the pieces, Garner is keeping her parents’ memory close to her heart. “They were my bestest, bestest friends,” she said. Crescent Moon Beads is located at 28 Spring St., Eureka Springs.

Broadcast from Basin Park Hotel draws crowd By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
A remote radio broadcast featuring demonstrations of remote viewing by Sean-Paul and Juliane of Intrigue Theater filled the lobby of the Basin Park Hotel Saturday. Sean-Paul warmed up the audience by making coins disappear and cards move through the deck. For one illusion, he solicited a $20 bill from Brett Ealick of Lake of the Ozarks and a quarter from Ealick’s daughter. Rolling up the dollar bill, Sean-Paul passed it through the center of the quarter. When he returned the currency, the bill was $1. “That’s the high price of entertainment,” Sean-Paul told Ealick, eventually returning the right bill. KHOZ Radio the Z, a country station in Harrison, staged the live broadcast, which was the idea of Jack Moyer, manager of the Crescent and Basin Park hotels, to promote family vacations in Eureka Springs before school starts. Moyer announced a $99.95 “Any Room in the House” special August 22 and 23, available on EurekaSpringsOnline or ReserveEureka. “It’s 17 days until school’s back,” Moyer said Saturday. “Then we go into our second season.” For the remote-viewing demonstrations, Sean-Paul asked people to get out an item — a cell phone, wallet, etc. Holding the item, he asked Juliane, who was in the radio station in Harrison, what the item was. When Juliane identified the items correctly, the person confirmed it verbally. She also correctly gave the month and day of a birthday someone was thinking of, gave the serial number on dollar bill and the last four numbers on a credit card, and after identifying a photograph a man had in his wallet as his niece, described the color of the girl’s hair. Asked the month and day of birth on a woman’s driver’s license, Juliane responded correctly. When asked the year, she said “She’s going to be 29 again.” “That’s right,” the woman said.
The broadcast also included drawings for door prizes. Tanya Smith of Turpentine Creek gave away tickets to wildlife refuge. Mike Bishop, Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce director, donated tickets to Pine Mountain Music Theater. Sean-Paul gave away seats to Intrigue Theater, Kent Butler a family pass to the Great Passion Play, and Moyer tickets to the Underground Tour on behalf of the Eureka Springs Downtown Network. Matt Duncan, the DJ for the broadcast, gave away KHOZ Radio T-shirts and country music CDs by Toby Keith, Rascal Flatts and Kacey Musgrove. Rob McBee in Harrison co-emceed the show, which ran from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. on 102.9. Juliane, who is the medium in Intrigue Theater’s Victorian-themed show,”The Illusionist and the Medium,” previously demonstrated remote viewing from a radio station in Oklahoma. Two years ago on Halloween, Sean-Paul was suspended upside down in a straitjacket by a rope from the SkyBar of the Crescent Hotel, from which he escaped. For the summer vacation promotion, he was going to be frozen in ice, Moyer said, but the idea took too long to set up. It’s a possibility next year, Moyer said. Intrigue Theater is located in the historic Gavioli Chapel, 80 Mountain St., Eureka Springs. Shows Wednesday through Sunday through Aug. 17. For times and tickets, go to intriguetheater.com.

Guest Commentary An open letter to city officials and residents
While I am not a native of Arkansas or Eureka Springs, I have chosen to live in this area, though I could have moved just about anywhere, because this area offered the right combination of natural beauty, economics and social stability that I preferred. Now that I’ve lived here a dozen years or so, I, like so many of you, have noticed, with some consternation, what would appear to be the slow and painful death of the core economics of Eureka Springs. Having talked to a number of “old timers” here, I’ve learned some history about tourism in E.S. First, you chased out all the tour buses mainly because they were a real road hazard in the “old town” area trying to navigate the narrow streets and trying to turn into and out of parking lots. I don’t think anyone would find fault with your concerns on this point; however, when you pushed tour buses out, you seemed to forget that on those buses were 40-50 tourists with money burning a hole in their pockets, earmarked for your shops, restaurants, etc. There obviously wasn’t much thought given to this problem other than just get those buses out of here! The bus problem could have been and still can be solved. For just one example, the city officials decided to buy the property at the top of Planer Hill to be used for parking. That’s fine for cars, not good for buses. There was, for years, a large flat parcel of land just east of Dollar General, which is now a car wash, that could have been purchased by the city or even joint-ventured, to provide a large parking lot only for buses, I’m sure there exists some other parcel in the area that could serve the same purpose. Tour bus companies and their drivers are actively promoted by the tourism industry, not just hoping a bus loaded with tourists will somehow land in their town, you have to “drive” them to your town. The city or whomever is responsible for this activity, could have sent letters to every tour bus operator in, say, a 200-mile radius of E.S., offering the following deal, which I have some firsthand knowledge of: a free day-long secure parking place designed for buses, a
free day-long pass for the driver and the tour guide on the new trolley stop at the bus parking lot, round-trip to downtown. Most drivers I’ve talked to also said they are given a coupon for a free lunch at one of the eateries in town, which could be done by lottery or rotation. Drivers almost always recommend that eatery to their passengers, no loss here! Next, the motorcycle trade. We would all agree that loud motorcycles, in quantity, is not something we desire in our community, but, let’s not forget, while “bikers” may not spend money in art shops, they still drop a fair amount all around town. Art dealers are not the only business in town trying to survive. Tax revenue should be welcomed from any source willing to give it to your town. I’m not sure I have a suitable fix for the noise, but the reality is Eureka Springs needs the bikers too. We all may have to be a little patient here for the good of the city. While some may not like it, Diversity Weekend seems to draw people from far and wide. They stay in your motels, eat/drink in your eateries and provide revenue to the town in a number of ways. This may be one of the most successful venues E.S. offers. I remember a few years back, some people were saying really nasty things about gays in Eureka and unfortunately, the local newspapers printed it. Let’s face it, folks, the complexion of our national society is changing and straight or gay, we’re going to have to adjust our thinking and some tolerances if we’re going to co-exist and work together to accomplish common goals. For example, think about revenue to the city from just this one sector of our society, meaning officials don’t have to come up with another tax scheme to add onto our lives and/or property. Another thing I’ve noticed while watching TV: the ads promoting E.S. are running in my viewing area, be it from Springfield or Little Rock. My point here is that when you can drive round-trip in a day, you are not spending any money on motels, which is an important part of the E. S. economy. If you advertise in markets which are more See Commentary, page 21
Citizen of the Week
Local artist Marvin Jonason has devoted countless hours to designing, researching, purchasing and physically installing the lighting system that illuminates Main Stage in Eureka Springs. “Quietly moving things along behind the scenes, Marvin never looks for recognition or compensation,” said Keith Scales, who nominated Jonason on behalf of the Main Stage board of directors. … “Who does not know Marvin?
Who has he not helped in the seven years or so since he arrived in Eureka Springs? A theatre artist of many years accomplishment and a painter of note, Marvin seems to devote most of his valuable hours to other people’s projects — usually helping with some kind of remodeling or installation.” For all his contributions to our community, Marvin Jonason is the Lovely County Citizen of the Week.

I have noted in the local news the concerns regarding the necessary replacement of the aging Eureka Springs hospital. For about a 10-year period in the late ’60s and ’70s, I was actively involved in the Lake County Illinois and later State of Illinois Health Planning committees and represented the area on the health committee of North East Illinois planning commission. All of these groups were mandated to help control medical costs by avoiding duplication of services and over bedding while at the same time responding to local needs. Eureka Springs’ expressed need is for hospital availability for emergency care for the large number of transient tourists, and the daily needs of the local population. This desire is complicated by the recent federal mandate forbidding building nearer than 20 miles of an existing hospital which would entail costly infrastructure investment. I would like to suggest an alternative for consideration which would serve most of the needs met by our existing hospital while enabling the use of the central location of the old high school grounds. This alternative would involve the construction of an emergency care center with all diagnostics currently available. A limited number of 24-
to 48-hour observation beds would be included and necessary. Including a hospice in the services would serve another need. The only potential drawback is the unknown quantity of patients whose condition precluded discharge at 48 hours. The hospital could provide average figures for this classification. Since this service would be provided at the old high school location which is already publicly owned, and centrally located, has existing sewer and water and adequate parking, most likely need at least the same staff, and by definition not a hospital, I think it is well worth consideration. If all involved parties arrived at a favorable opinion on this concept it could then be turned over to architects, number crunchers and lawyers to deal with the problems; and there are always problems.

house, you have to go through this little hole that anyone over 200 pounds wouldn’t be able to get through,” he said. The men entered the tunnels through Leatherwood Creek at Flint Street. As they made their way along, they noted and photographed several sections of tunnel that are “falling apart, coming down and buckling,” Ford said. Williams said the majority of the damaged areas are underneath the parking lots of the Auditorium, courthouse and a couple other areas north of those. One of those is an area near Eureka Live that is supported by a floor jack and criss-crossed timbers. “It was under that hot dog stand that used to be next to Eureka Live,” Williams said. “About four years ago that patio collapsed, and they went back in and reinforced that with concrete.” Often while working their way through the tunnels, they had no way of knowing what was above them at any given point, Williams said. Photos show many sections of limestone blocks that are vertically dry-stacked, and some tunnels that are arched with only limestone blocks. There are many sections of fallen blocks lying in the creek, fallen timbers embedded in concrete, collapsed boulders and blockages. A portion of the tunnel is a round metal culvert. Some tunnel ceilings are supported by slabs with rebar running through them, but many are cracked and sagging. Some large buildings downtown sit over these tunnels, including City Hall and the Auditorium, both built of limestone blocks, and the Grand Central Hotel. The men made marks on the walls every 50 feet. There was no radio reception and no cell phone signal in the tunnels, Ford noted. Public Works Director Dwayne Allen said his department had surveyed the tunnels in 2010, especially the area next to the Auditorium, which has two parking spaces closed because of the danger of collapse. Those won’t be opened back up anytime soon, he said. “Unfortunately, it’s getting worse quicker than we thought,” Allen said. He added that high water events have deteriorated the support structure. There are several areas under the parking lots that
Allen said are “pending collapse,” although the areas directly under the Auditorium and courthouse are OK. One obstacle to getting all this fixed, he said, is right-of-way, “unfortunately.” “It’s back to the property owners,” he said. “Each parking lot underground is owned by the owner of the property.” In that case, the area under the courthouse is owned by the county. Allen said the property owners would have to give the city the ROW to be able to repair and maintain the tunnels. “We’re trying to find a solution, and we’ve looked at federal money several times and will keep track of it,” Allen said. “We’re creating a city mitigation plan, and this will be tied in. We hope to have mitigation money to try to avoid disasters. It’s cheaper to fix things before they collapse. We have to work with the property owners, but it always comes back to financial issues.” If the tunnels collapse, it would flood downtown, Allen said, but added that the good news is that the whole tunnel basin going up Planer Hill is built well enough to handle the water coming down, which is a mixture of storm runoff and springs flowing into it, as long as weak areas are repaired and kept clear of obstructions. “If it’s not restricted, it will handle the whole basin on a 100-year flood. We have to keep it in repair to not cause a blockage. Underneath some of the buildings it’s scoured out and keeps opening up more.” He said the goal is to get the plan in place. There is a public forum on Aug. 26 on the mitigation plan. “We will get some input from the citizens, and we’re using that as a vehicle to look at some of the problems in town and come up with some solutions,” he said. “We’ve talked to several organizations are getting some feedback.” He and Williams both advised people not to try to go into the tunnels because of the danger. “Anytime, those big rocks could fall and then they’d be trapped; it’s just a matter of when,” Williams said. The mitigation plan includes other considerations, such as locations for disaster shelters and the condition of Black Bass Dam. The public form on the plan will be held as part of the Planning Commission meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 26, in the jury room of the courthouse.

Touted as a “Married to Equality” reception to honor the same-sex couples who were married in Arkansas in May after a state judge nixed the state’s anti-gay marriage amendment, ruling it unconstitutional – a ruling that was later stayed by the state Supreme Court. Donations came in from most restaurants in town.

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
The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art has unveiled American Encounters: Anglo-American Portraiture in an Era of Revolution, the third in a four-part series of exhibitions created in partnership with the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Crystal Bridges, and the Terra Foundation for American Art, Chicago. 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. The works will be on view through Sept. 15, 2014. There is
no fee to view the exhibition.

Rejection. Failure. We all have to deal with it in one way or another. Even if you aren’t a writer, Jessie Rex has some words of wisdom for those times when disappointment and self-doubt are breaking your heart.
Y
As Authors Do
ou casually scan your inbox for new mail, and your heart skips a beat when you see an email from an editor or agent. But then your eyes see the words “we regret,” and you are no longer sure what the rest of the message reads. He might as well have typed a huge red FAILURE in the subject line and been done with it. Despair overwhelms you. Why did you even bother writing in the first place? You were excited to share your latest chapter with your writing group, but even they did not give you the positive feedback you were expecting. Yes, you were definitely crazy to think someone would publish your work. OK, are you done with your pity party? The reason you took all that precious time to write is because you have something to share that no one else on this planet can offer: your own thoughts, feelings and perspective. Rejection and a sense of failure are a normal part of life. What you do with them is what matters. First, if you receive a rejection letter, then you obviously have made it to one of your big goals. You have finished a manuscript. Congratulations! You’ve accomplished something thousands dream of. Dreaming is awesome! I am a dreamer but without action your dream will remain a dream. A dreamer dreams of writing, but a writer writes. Are you a dreamer or a writer? Dreamers don’t get the privilege of receiving rejection letters. If you truly are a writer, you anticipate those rejection letters. A football player anticipates pain. A guitar player anticipates broken strings. But even when you are aware those letters are coming, you’re never totally prepared for that feeling of failure. Let me ask you this: Would you wear a swimsuit three sizes too small? Of course not because it’s not a good fit and others would appreciate your not wearing it out
in public. Those rejection letters could mean that this publisher is three sizes too small for you. You’re not necessarily being rejected. This agent or editor may have been the one you really wanted, but that does not make him the best fit. If you read biographies of your favorite authors, you discover that every one of them had to deal with rejection letters. Authors such as John Grisham, Beatrix Potter, Steven King, Madeline L’Engle, Judy Bloom, Emily Dickson, Ernest Hemingway, Sylvia Plath and J.K. Rowling, just to name a very few. Your rejection letter puts you in good company with highly successful authors. Or, sometimes it is all about timing. You may have written a truly grand masterpiece, but if it is not the right time for publication, then you need to practice patience and continue working until the timing works for your life. Keep in mind, these letters are not personal. It is a business. You want to be an author? Then do as authors do. Live like they do. Keep each and every rejection letter. Someday not only will they be valuable, but you will be able to find humor in them. If you want a good chuckle, look up some rejection letters sent to famous authors. It’s all a matter of perspective, Darling, a matter of perspective. A rejection letter should be viewed as training for your future as an author. If you simply can’t get past the feeling of being rejected by a letter, then you’re probably not ready for the critics who will be reviewing your published work. Feel the pain of the rejection. Understand why you’re feeling the way you feel. Then, do what you think you need to do to improve upon or redirect your efforts. Do you need to go back and see if you can write something even better? Do you need to re-evalSee Rejection, page 21

The Natural Way PPIs can have nasty side effects
I
’ve written about the travails of using prescribed/OTC drugs for reducing acid reflux (GERD, heartburn) Jim Fain several times. This group of drugs is very commonly used daily and is in fact one of the biggest-selling and profit-making pills ever. The group is called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Specifically, the names Nexium, Prevacid, Prilosec, Protonix, Omeprazole and Aciphex come to mind. All of these reduce the production of stomach acid. If you’re feeling crummy and your doc can’t quite get a finger on the pulse maybe your ailment is caused by or made worse by drug therapy. I’m repeating myself, I know, but I’m wanting the word to get out. Two weeks ago, 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. 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. So far, I’ve discussed the drugs for lowering blood pressure like Lisinopril, statin drugs to reduce cholesterol and Metformin (glucophage) commonly used for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. I started the first 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 the long list of heartburn/GERD drugs above on the reduced absorption of folic acid, B12, beta-carotene, calcium, iron and, curiously, thyroid hormone levothyroxine and synthroid. Yes, it is true that reducing stomach acid can cause anemia, fatigue, skin troubles, osteoporosis (bone thinning) and then all of the troubles of low thyroid (and there are many of them). All of this can be countered by proper nutritional supplementation. It may be possible to replace the drugs with naturals but the rebound effect is powerful ... this reduces in time.
Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: You’ll need some time for reflection. That will be easy considering how much you love shiny things. Don’t get carried away with primping and duck faces and forget to do the actual thinking. TAURUS: The universe usually gives you what you need, not what you want. This week you get both, you lucky bull. Enjoy it while it lasts. GEMINI: Don’t blame others for the crapstorm if you’re the one who drilled through the septic tank. Just be grateful they brought hip waders and Lysol to the clean-up party.

If you’re cool with that much pressure, you could shine. Or you could crack like an egg between Schwarzenegger’s butt cheeks. LEO: The path to success takes one step after another, but you’ll get there faster if you walk with joy instead of bearing down with an angry trudge. “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey” is more than just a phrase embroidered on a pillow. VIRGO: You have a lot of love in your heart, but thankfully your brain stopped it from rushing between your knees. Take a moment to size up your next sweetie before jumping in the sack and you’ll save yourself some heartache later on.

must get their landowners to go through this process. Caden Pruitt, who rents property in the Dry Fork Creek area in southern Carroll County, said she didn’t realize the process she would have to go through to get on the no-spray list. She has a big garden and is an apprentice organic gardener. She said when Carroll Electric came out to hook up her electric last year, she asked to be on the “no spray” list and signed her name and address on a clipboard. She was then handed a packet. “We didn’t pay any attention to the packet. I assumed I was on [the list] because I had signed the clipboard,” she said. “But to actually get on the list, we would have had to go through a lot of work.” Pruitt said her landlady is elderly and lives in Missouri, so it would probably
not be practical to “jump through the hoops.” However, Pruitt said, Carroll Electric workers were “very nice,” stopped spraying on her request, and someone did come out the next day to talk with her. “They haven’t sprayed since,” she said, and although she realizes she is not “technically” on the list, she hasn’t seen any spraying this year. She said she hasn’t noticed any detrimental effects to her garden from the spraying that was done, mainly on the road. Forms filled out in 2010 and thereafter expire Jan. 1, 2016, after which Carroll Electric will require new forms for the next six-year cycle. To avoid spraying during any current year, forms must be filled out by March 15. Procedures for getting on the “no spray” list are outlined every year in the December issue of the cooperative’s magazine, “Arkansas Living,” and property owners can call the coop for more information.

From CCN wire services Nathan Andress of Eureka Springs is attending a Medical Applications of Science for Health (M*A*S*H) camp through Aug. 8 at Mercy Hospital in Rogers. The two-week summer medical enrichment experience is designed to give interested students a glimpse of what a health profession is really like. Students participated in a variety of medical-related activities including observing surgery; learning more about anatomy through dissection of animal organs; learning about reading x-rays; shadowing a doctor making rounds; an automobile crash simulation and many others. The program hopes to encourage rural youth interested in medical fields to continue their education and then return to rural areas to work. Students were sponsored by the Arkansas MENTOR Medical Partnership and Carroll County Farm Bureau.

Commentary
lots of good, well-meaning folks. Instead of the daily battles at City Hall and constant personality attacks, why not use all that negative energy to improve tourism dollars not only from outside the city, but locally as well. What do I mean by locals? I and a good many people I know don’t shop in Eureka stores, mainly because of the parking meters. We’ve all heard how much money the meters bring in to the city; but that revenue does not help a store remain open. A number of people have told me they would shop more in town if they didn’t have to constantly feed the meters. So, why not try this: Since midweek is the slow time for most shops, offer “locals”, verified by ID, a sticker or hang tag that gives free parking on a Tuesday or Wednesday, maybe paid by an annual fee of $10-15, I have no doubt, if you asked the store owners, they would welcome this idea. A lot of people here in H.I. and I’ll bet in E. S. too would shop and spend more money, mid-week in your shops. This is only my opinion folks; you’re certainly entitled to yours. Maybe this letter might spark some thought. Thanks for your attention. Roger Martin Holiday Island

than a day’s round-trip drive to Eureka, people would need to stay overnight, perhaps several nights. I have friends in the Memphis and Dallas areas and they say they have never seen a promotion ad for Eureka in their area. Why not? I’ll admit that I personally don’t know where all E. S. is promoted, but I don’t need to be promoted here where I live. Seems like a waste of dollars that might be better spent elsewhere. You’ll notice I have referred to Eureka as your town or what you can do about your town; that’s because I don’t live in E. S., I live in Holiday Island, but my property and sales taxes benefit Eureka and I feel that gives me the belief I’m connected, however little, to your economy. While I’m an octogenarian and may not be around long enough to see Eureka re-grow her tourism economy, you, my friends, will or your families will and all of you have a vested interest and responsibility to work together, officials and residents, to find ways to improve your core tourism base.

Rejection

uate where you are sending your work? Pain or discouragement is our fuel to discover something new about ourselves and to become more productive than the day before. A rejection letter (or an acceptance letter) is neither a “good” or “bad” thing. It is simply a learning experience that determines our next move, guiding us on our journey. For each experience, express gratitude with an open mind and heart. Who are we becoming through our rejections and our triumphs? Successful people can handle rejection and are patient people. Although, it is personal to you, there will be similar feelings to deal with as a published author. Again, this is good training in how to handle your thoughts and feelings. Finally, you are in charge. You are in charge of your thoughts, actions, and how you handle your emotions. You have the right to reject the rejection letter. We are all human. The person
21
who reviewed your work and wrote the letter is just as human as you with the same basic needs as you. They are not all-knowing or perfect. Your work was simply something they were not interested in at this time. That just means it is time for you to move on to another option. Keep the faith. If becoming a published author is your true desire, then write on! You will eventually get there. One day, without warning, you will find yourself with an acceptance letter in hand, arms in the air, spinning around while the theme song to Rocky plays out in your head. Speaking of Rocky, Sylvester Stallone said, “I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.” Well said, you hunky, beautiful actor! Let those words and feelings of rejection be a blast to your brain to march on to see a dream realized. No retreating allowed. Then, all those rejection letter of the past will be but a memory and your next journey will begin.

helsea’s Corner Cafe & Bar features a rare two-night stand by an acclaimed, fast-rising soul/R&B/ funk band from Nebraska this weekend. Josh Hoyer and The Shadowboxers formed in late 2012 in the jumpin’ Midwest blues town of Lincoln, Neb. For the prior 15 years, Hoyer had been very much in demand as a performer in his previous bands, as a solo artist behind the piano and as a session musician and arranger. Spending much of his time booking and promoting in Lincoln at the legendary Zoo Bar and beyond, Hoyer has earned a place as an influential part of the funk, soul and blues youth movement of the region. His current nine-piece soul/R&B band, Josh Hoyer and The Shadowboxers, includes some of the Midwest’s most revered and accomplished musicians, many of whom have toured nationally and internationally; teach music; and

are in demand as session musicians. The band’s sound and passion come from its members’ deep respect, knowledge of and passion for blues, Americana, soul, funk, and many other styles of music. Last year was a very successful first year for the band, in which it played dozens of festivals, cultivated a large following in a three-state area, represented Nebraska in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis and was named 2013’s Best Soul/R&B at the Omaha Entertainment Awards. In January of this year, The Shadowboxers released its self-titled debut album to a raucous crowd of 700 at the Bourbon Theatre. Borrowing from Stax, Motown, New Orleans, Philly and San Francisco, the album blends the classic sounds of soul and R&B, yet has a vibe and sound that is fresh and unique, critics have said. Each track has a great groove, exceptional lyrical, vocal and instrumental performances, and artful

arrangements. “Josh Hoyer and The Shadowboxers are coming out firing on all cylinders, smashing styles together to come up with their own groove. Funky soul packed with power, it’s Dr. John meets Al Green backed by Booker T and the MGs. You know, the good stuff,”says Fuse Recording producer and engineer Charlie Johnson. Music critic B.J. Huchtemann of The Reader in Omaha writes: “Joshua Hoyer is one of the Lincoln-Omaha scene’s finest songwriters. His new project gives equal weight to his great songs, his rich, soulful, distinctive vocals and his ability to put together funky, driving and passionate collaborations with his fellow musicians. This band’s sound soars and fills up the dance floor with funky joy.” Josh Hoyer and The Shadowboxers performs at 9 pm Friday and Saturday at Chelsea’s Corner at 10 Mountain St., 479-253-6723.
