Eureka Springs and Carroll County received $97,726 from the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program to help fund several historic preservation projects including restoring the Eureka Springs Carnegie Library steps, revitalizing the city’s downtown and restoring the roof, bell tower and columns at St. James’ Episcopal Church. Carroll County was one of the 44 counties to receive $2.4 million in grant funding from the Department of Arkansas Heritage, Gov. Asa Hutchinson said in a press release. Grants were awarded through the state’s County Courthouse Restoration sub-grant, HPR grant, Certified Local Government sub-grant, Main Street Slipcover grant and Main Street Downtown Revitalization grant programs. Main Street Eureka Springs received a $15,000 grant to revitalize downtown, which will “allow business owners to stay ahead of the game,” said Eureka Springs Downtown Network director Jacqueline Wolven. “Now that we are a full-fledged Main Street program, we are able to offer more assistance, elevate the exposure of opportunities and properties in the district and provide resources for our small business owners to stay ahead of the game,” she said. “Not only do we receive this funding, but we also have access to the Main Street Arkansas resources and National Main Street Center which allows us to tap into what is new and exciting in downtown development and bring that to our

district.” The Carnegie Library received a $33,229 HPR grant to restore its steps. Carnegie Library Director Loretta Crenshaw said restoration on the 105-year-old steps is expected to begin within the next couple of months and workers will restore one side at a time so people can still get through the front doors. “After 105 years of steady traffic, the front steps of our Carnegie Library were definitely showing signs of wear, but the cost of replacement was overwhelming. The Historic Preservation Program truly lives up to its name by ensuring that our wonderful facility will have an authentic native stone entrance for its next century,” she said.

St. James’ Episcopal Church received a $19,230 HPR grant to restore the roof, bell tower and columns at the former Comer School. Carroll County received a $30,267 HPR grant to restore the former Shady Grove Delmar Church and School. Twenty-five projects shared $756,763 in HPR grants, which distribute funds raised through the Real Property Transfer Tax to rehabilitate buildings listed on the Arkansas or National Registers of Historic Places and owned by local governments or not-for-profit organizations. Thirteen counties shared $1,262,340 in County Courthouse Restoration Subgrants, which are financed through the tax. Serving Eureka Springs Berryville & Holiday Island

City plans town hall meeting on food trucks By Alana Cook Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

After a heated discussion, the Eureka Springs City Council during a workshop Monday night decided to hold a town hall meeting in November to hear the public’s input on laws regulating food trucks inside city limits. The meeting will focus on the times and days food trucks would be allowed to operate, where they would operate, the distance they should park from brick-and-mortar restaurants, customer parking and the number of food trucks that would be allowed to operate within city limits. Currently, there are two food truck vendors that operate inside the city limits and one that operates outside city limits. During the workshop, Victor Smith, owner of a food truck business called Catered Creations, listed several reasons why he believes food trucks would benefit the local economy. “I’ve been working on this issue with the city clerk for about two years now,” Smith told the Citizen. “My grandma and grandpa started Turpentine Creek and I’ve been there for seven years now. I started the mobile food truck to get extra income. The city has thrown me a loop with all the bylaws for food trucks. The city will only allow me to set up if an event is taking place. I want to be able to operate every day. I’m for making it right in the town. I want to be the voice of the food truck.” During the workshop, Smith and Alderman James DeVito, who owns several restaurants, had a heated exchange on the issue. DeVito wants laws that regulate the distance between food trucks and brick-andmortar restaurants. Smith said that there’s “nothing to be afraid of” and DeVito replied: “I’m not the least bit afraid.” “It’s a new up-and-coming thing whether people like it or not. There can’t be mass chaos; it needs to be regulated,” Smith said. “Let’s don’t put a face on this because then we become partial to what we are talking about,” DeVito said. “I’m all for limits on how many trucks are in our city. Our city can’t handle 50 trucks,

but five to 10 permitted yearly. James and [Alderman Terry] McClung are very anti-food truck. I wanted to ask them if they had been to a food truck court to see how much revenue it brings. I’m all for protecting brick-and-mortar business but you shouldn’t be afraid of a little competition,” Smith told the Citizen. DeVito said during the workshop that Eureka Springs’ ordinances have nothing in common with the laws that regulate food trucks in Fayetteville and Fort Smith. “Fayetteville is 40 times bigger than Eureka … There’s no place for food trucks to operate downtown here. Fayetteville and Little Rock make considerations for parking. I’ve thought about this for years and the North Main parking lot is a great place. It deals with the developing arts and culture on North Main. There will be adequate parking and restrooms so it’s an ideal location. We could make revenue from charging food trucks to use city property,” DeVito said. Alderwoman Mickey Schneider disagreed with DeVito. “You are a restaurant owner and I think that’s wrong,” Schneider said. “North Main is where visitors come to park. Food trucks will stop them from parking. How will we get them down there?” Other aldermen expressed concerns about whether it is fair to local businesses to allow food truck operators to come into the city and do business. DeVito said food trucks “are like gypsies and can come and siphon off business.” Schneider said it would be a good idea to allow them to operate at night after restaurants have closed. “To take a restaurant that’s supposed to be closed and put a food truck is not fair competition,” McClung said. “If you were an established business, would you like it?” Alderman Bob Thomas said the city would need to regulate the number of food trucks if they were allowed to operate on North Main. “As a tourist, I’ve never gotten in my car and left to get a taco,” Thomas said. The town hall meeting is tentatively scheduled for November at the Aud.

Audit report points finger at former airport manager By Scott Loftis CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com

Carroll County Prosecuting Attorney Tony Rogers has requested an Arkansas State Police Investigation into possible misuse of a public credit card by former Carroll County Airport manager Sheila Evans, according to a report from the state’s Legislative Joint Auditing Committee. The report, which was released Aug. 19 and signed by deputy legislative auditor June M. Barron, outlines $14,965 in questionable credit card purchases that it says were made by Evans. It also refers to $1,118 in checks issued to Evans that it describes as “improper disbursements.” The report, which covers the time period from Jan. 1, 2012, to Dec. 31, 2013, outlines credit card charges made by Evans, “all of which appear to be personal in nature.” Those charges are: • Walmart: $3,854; • Sam’s Wholesale Club: $1,090; • Schwan’s Food Service: $824; • Dollar General: $463; • Other grocery vendors: $713; • Amazon.com: $2,198; • Women’s clothing and jewelry: $748; • Gasoline: $680; • Cell phone and services: $658; • Gardening items: $584; • Furniture, appliances and decor (recliner, rocking chair, Ninja cooker and blender, Dutch oven, deep fryer): $566; • Household and cleaning items: $513; • Video conferencing services: $425; • Satellite TV services: $388; • Miscellaneous items (toiletries, overthe-counter medicines, gifts, gift cards, manicure services): $232; • Restaurant meals: $174; • Electric bill: $151; • Pet food and supplies: $144; • Prescription drugs: $135; • Cosmetics and tanning items: $108; • Photography supplies: $106; • Alcoholic beverages: $102; • Flowers: $69; • Golfing supplies: $40. The report notes that the purchases made from grocery vendors were in “household quantities.”

The report notes several other accounting issues involving the airport, including a negative year-end fund balance; failure to prepare bank reconciliations for any of the airport accounts as required by state law; failure to issue receipts for monies received by the airport as required by state law; failure to maintain cash receipt and disbursement journals as required by state law; failure to issue proper Internal Revenue Service forms for contractors; failure to file an annual financial report for the airport commission for 2013 with the county clerk as required by law; and disbursements for credit card payments and fuel invoice payments made via electronic fund transfers without approval from the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee as required by state law. Evans resigned as airport manager effective Dec. 31, 2013. A news story at the time said she was moving to Colorado. Contacted via Facebook on Monday night, Evans did not respond when she was offered an opportunity to comment on the audit report. Carroll County Judge Sam Barr read the audit report to justices of the peace at Monday’s quorum court meeting but neither Barr nor JPs made any further comment. Barr said after the meeting that he was not authorized to provide a reporter with a copy of the report but indicated that it was available online. Airport commission chairman Morris Pate, who assumed his position late last year, could not be reached for comment on the report Monday night.

Actors are being sought for the annual re-enactment of the 1922 Eureka Springs bank robbery. The re-enactment will be held Saturday, Sept. 12.

Bank robbery re-enactment seeks actors Lovely County Citizen The 45th Antique Auto Festival will be Friday, Sept. 11, and Saturday, Sept. 12. The parade will begin at 11 a.m. Saturday and the bank robbery will immediately follow the parade. Organizers for the Great Eureka Springs Bank Robbery re-enactment are seeking volunteers for the re-enactment, which will be in front of the Jewel Box. “We are keeping the tradition alive and need people to participate,” Michelle McDonald said. The re-enactment has been a long-standing tradition, McDonald said. “I started seeing it over in 2005 and got fourth-graders to help out,” McDonald said. During the re-enactment, the “polka-dotted ladies” re-enact events with the “floozies” and bank robbers re-enact a hold-up of the old First National Bank. The legend says that five highwaymen were unable to get away with the loot because citizens and good marksmen

stepped in. When the smoke and cleared, citizens found one man dead and four desperately wounded, one of whom died after being taken to the hospital. Ernest Jordan, hero of the hour, fired the final shot that killed one person and mortally wounded two other people. Constable Homer Brittain, attorney Joe McKimmey, Jesse Littrell, Robert Bowman and Sam Harmon helped Jordan in the firefight. To register your antique car entry in the parade, go to www.AntiqueAutoFest.com. Use your Facebook page to announce the 45th Annual Antique Auto Festival and promote available rooms. Call McDonald at 479-981-1559 for more information on volunteering. In addition to the festival, Jazz Eureka will be Friday night and Saturday, Sept. 11 and Sept. 12. Saturday night’s headline act at The Auditorium is Joey DeFrancesco with special guests Joe Cartwright Band featuring Molly Hammer. Jazz Eureka will also feature free music in Basin Park.

The Eureka Springs City Council during Monday night’s meeting voted unanimously on its first reading to amend its law regulating the hours that bars, restaurants and hotels and motels can sell alcohol, making the city’s code align with the state’s. The amended Ordinance 2229 says that hotels, motels, bars and restaurants can sell alcohol until 2 a.m. on Sundays, which would extend the hours alcohol could be sold on New Year’s Eve. “In the city’s code book, the on-premise hours for alcohol sales were noon to after 10 p.m. on Sunday. The state added two hours at either end so now the ordinance is amended to allow alcohol sales from 10 a.m. to after midnight on Sundays,” City Clerk Ann Armstrong said.

The amended ordinance also assesses a penalty of 10 percent monthly for businesses with alcohol permits who fail to “remit the supplemental tax on gross receipts within the time provided by the Arkansas State Code.” Armstrong said the amended ordinance aligns the city’s alcohol sales tax regulations with the state’s and the City Advertising and Promotions Commission’s, thus making the city’s ability to collect on alcohol sales tax more efficient. In other business, Mayor Butch Berry reported that the city is still in the process of getting the electrical, mechanical and engineering estimates on the Public Works building completed so it can go out for public bid. The city council will hold a mid-year budget workshop from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 21.

Program established to feed ES students By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

Last week, Barb Tenan had an especially difficult day at work. Tenan, the child nutrition director for the Eureka Springs School District, had to give several students a peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead of a hot meal. These students owed money for previous lunches, Tenan said, and couldn’t have a hot meal until they paid. Tenan recalled telling a student that he needed to ask his parents for money to have a hot meal, saying it was heartbreaking. “I sat there and did my job. Then I walked out the door, sat in my car, cried my eyes out, smoked a cigarette, composed myself and came back and did my job for the rest of the day,” Tenan said. Thanks to an anonymous Carroll County woman, Tenan won’t have to do that anymore. That same week, Tenan said, a woman visited the cafeteria asking to donate money for children who can’t pay for school lunches. The anonymous woman asked that Tenan begin a fund called “Secret Grannies.” Superintendent Bryan Pruitt, who helped set up the fund, said the donation is indicative of the community’s giving spirit. “It’s an act of caring. It’s a way to give back to the community. We have a lot of generous and caring people not only in Eureka Springs but in Carroll County,” Pruitt said. Tenan agreed, recalling how she felt after the fund was set up. “After having to tell that many students that they had to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it was wonderful to see,” Tenan said, thanking the anonymous woman. “She was just an awesome lady.” The woman’s first donation, Tenan noted, paid off 15 student accounts. Tenan said some of these students owed only a dollar or less, saying the state encourages school districts to avoid charging meals no matter the deficit amount.

After ending the school year with an outstanding balance last year, Tenan said she understands why school districts have cracked down on charging student meals. Many parents paid off accounts during the summer, but Tenan said the nutrition program still had a $1,200 deficit at the beginning of the year. She has since whittled that deficit to $300. The deficit that builds up during the school year, Tenan said, has compelled the district to offer students a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as an alternative to the hot meal if they can’t pay for lunch. She remembered speaking with a student’s grandparent about the new policy; during this conversation, Tenan said, she explained that the district sent letters about the policy over the summer. The grandparent agreed to pay for meals, but Tenan said few parents or guardians are that direct. Some parents, Tenan noted, expect the school to provide meals for free as a public service. Tenan acknowledged that the district increased meal prices this year; it costs $1 for breakfast and $1.90 for lunch. Those prices are even lower, Tenan said, for students who qualify for free or reduced lunches. A reduced breakfast costs 30 cents and a reduced lunch is 40 cents. “I try to explain it to the parents. If you’re not paying for the meal, I can’t just give your child meals that are taking me $3 and some cents to make,” Tenan said. A single mother of four children, Tenan said she understands how struggling parents feel. She recalled signing up for reduced meals when her children were in school, saying that costs much less than packing a sack lunch. “It was the easiest way to feed my kids,” Tenan said. Pruitt noted the importance of signing up for free or reduced lunches. Parents may feel intimidated or embarrassed by the application process, he said, but it helps children immensely.

Public comments sought on proposed alternatives to Butler Hollow Project

CASSVILLE, Mo. — Mark Twain National Forest’s Ava-Cassville-Willow Springs Ranger District is looking for additional feedback on the proposed Butler Hollow Project. The general project area is about six miles south of Cassville, Missouri, near Roaring River State Park. The ranger district says the proposed Butler Hollow Project is needed to address declines in forest health and native plant communities. The project received considerable attention from the public during the initial comment period. District Ranger Joe Koloski has offered this additional comment period on newly developed alternatives to ensure that the opportunity to address any issues is not missed. The revised public comment package describes the Butler Hollow Project alternatives as amended in response to public comments. Butler Hollow Proj-

DR. JOHN VANDERBUSH AND DR. MICHAEL LAW

Allan Gamill, Morgan Crawford and Katie Peterson have been chosen as the 2015 recipients of the Rising Star Scholarship. The scholarships, given personally by Jack and Rachael Moyer, are presented annually to a staff or family member of the 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa or the 1905 Basin Park Hotel to further his or her education in their chosen industry. The Rising Star Award, although presented by the Moyers, is a partner to the hotels’ recognition program, the Service Star, and an important part of how the Employee of the Year is selected each year. “This was a special year for the Rising Star as Morgan presented an excellent application, Allan chose hospitality as his major due to his time in the high dchool

class and experience at the hotels and Katie was recognized for a third year,” Jack Moyer said. “To date the Rising Scholarship Fund has gifted over $7,250. Someday soon, we hope to see a funding stream that sends many employees and their kids to school.” Rachael Moyer is a graduate student and doctoral fellow at the University of Arkansas and operates Historica, a private consulting firm. Jack Moyer serves both hotels as vice president and general manager. Crawford and Peterson plan to use the scholarships to help them gain their associate’s degrees from Northwest Arkansas College, while Gammill is enrolled at Arkansas Tech as a Hospitality major.

The Natural Way Natural remedies to fend off Alzheimer’s

onely people and people who have limited social lives tend to have high levels of chronic Jim Fain inflammation. In these people there is a much higher incidence of heart attack, stroke, dementia and Alzheimer’s as they age. We all know many elders outlive their friends and family leaving them lonely. And there are many people like me who as I age become very selective of friends and the social events I want to take part. Trouble is our bodies detox cortisol — often called the death hormone — levels through laughter and play. Cortisol levels sky rocket to unhealthy levels causing high levels of chronic inflammation. Inflammation should be part of the healing phase and is best short term. When it lasts for a long time our bodies just get used to it as though it is normal. Inside of us our system produces enzymes to counter the bad stuff and these are called COX-1 and COX-2. Short term this is good but long-term the COX-2 starts to cause its own set of unhealthy problems. This wasn’t well understood until the late 1990’s. Trouble is the prescribed drugs such as Celebrex which were crafted to counter COX-2 often cause very serious side effects and new ailments. The brain is on fire. Alzheimer’s is not well understood but an strange similarity between it and heart disease/stroke is plaque. The same sticky plaque is found in both ailments and is thought to be associated with chronic inflammation. Two lab tests, namely homocystein and C-Reactive protein, requiring a little bit of blood are helpful in measuring inflammation. Even if these are in the mid normal range, I’d like to see them reduced to near non-existence. What to do? Laugh more and have more fun social interaction. Unless you can laugh at city politics with a deep belly laugh, gauge your social involvement outside of areas that cause friction. Curb your intake of red meat and eggs and eat more fish. Find a way to stay physically and mentally active. Keep a grip on your blood sugar levels which dramatically increase body wide inflammation and add supplements. Taking a multivitamin with minerals and trace elements goes a long way. Adding omega-3 from fish oil looking to reach 500 mg. of DHA on a daily basis is excellent. And a whole range of herbals are a cornucopia of inexpensive protection. Tumeric, ginger, white willow, boswella, devils claw, green tea, rosemary, resveratrol, bromelain are all known to powerfully reduce See Fain, page 19

Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: Watch out for tall men with pomegranates taped to their foreheads. They have enough problems without you adding to their therapy bill. Save your drama for someone less attached to their produce. TAURUS: If a Bigfoot screams and falls down in the forest, did it really happen? Carry a few Band-Aids in your pocket on Tuesday and find out. GEMINI: Share love and everyone feels better, but sharing misery makes you feel better. On Wednesday, it’s okay to look after yourself. Besides, those too-sunny personalities in your life need a day or two of clouds so they can grab some more sunscreen. CANCER: Look at your in-laws through rose-colored glasses. A glass or two of Merlot usually does the trick, unless you have a particularly sassy Cabernet. Those visits will be far less painful this week. LEO: When one door closes, another one opens. Thanks to your lockpicking skills, though, a door is never truly closed. Sneaking in will give you better opportunities, mainly through fresh blackmail material. VIRGO: People say you can be right or you can be happy, but they forget about the third option: cluelessness. Skip through your Monday with wild, air-brained abandon, and you’ll be the envy of everyone who knows better. LIBRA: When you’re pushed to your limits, add a patch of Spandex so you can stretch a bit farther. You won’t be stylish, but you’ll get the job done. Reward yourself with a snazzy new pair of sweatpants. SCORPIO: Someone gives you a difficult math problem on Friday. Tell them the solution, and just pat them on the head when they say you’re wrong. Silly people. The answer to any problem is always pie. SAGITTARIUS: A thought races through your head in the morning.

Don’t panic, it’s just looking for a new home. Grab some feed and a sign saying “Free Bird Seed.” You’ll catch those roadrunning thoughts in no time. CAPRICORN: Count your blessings, because one may have rolled under the couch. That’s okay, just run it under some cool water to get all the fuzz and melted gummy bears off it. AQUARIUS: You’re running at full steam so ignore those who

say you’ve gone off halfcocked. Give them no quarter once you’re arrived at your destination. PISCES: Life is a dance, but you’re hopeless at the waltz.

Lunches

“We have many kids that can benefit from that. We encourage and support all families to fill out the financial report for free and reduced lunches, but not everybody will or can,” Pruitt said. For families that don’t qualify for free or reduced lunches but still struggle, Tenan asked for better communication between parents and the school. She sends reminder letters regarding student meal balances but said she rarely receives a response. “If a parent ignores it, I can’t do anything about it. Why can’t Mom or Dad call me? There’s not enough communication,” Tenan said. Tenan said she hopes “Secret Grannies” will help some students whose parents don’t pay for school meals. Anyone interested in donating to the fund can call Tenan at 479-253-1006.

He loves to help people, sweep and mop the floor and also loves to be kissed on top of the head. Fivel would be a very loving pet for someone who cares. He has his shots and is neutered and is one of 50 lovable homeless cats and kittens at the Good Shepherd Humane Society, Hwy. 62 east of Eureka Springs. GSHS is open from noon to 5 p.m. every day but Wednesday. Call 479-253-9188 for more details.

Rod Minner, owner of Rowdy Beaver Restaurant and Tavern, presents a check for $1,000 to Steve and Tina Crow. The Crows were the grand prize winners in the first Eureka Springs Biker Appreciation Weekend and Scavenger Hunt, sponsored by Minner’s Rowdy Beaver and the rider’s guide ‘Cruise the Ozarks.’

Louisiana couple wins Scavenger Hunt Motorcycle tourism is an important part of the economy of not only the Ozarks but both Arkansas and Missouri. Indeed, it’s an especially important part of the economy of Carroll County. In recognition of that Rod and Sharon Minner, owners of Rowdy Beaver Restaurant and Tavern in Eureka Springs partnered with the rider’s guide Cruise the Ovzarks to host the first Eureka Springs Biker Appreciation Weekend and Scavenger Hunt. A small but enthusiastic cadre of riders spend Thursday through Saturday solving clues that led participants to advertisers/sponsors found in the pages of Cruise the Ozarks to obtain tickets for a grand prize drawing for $1,000. Riders Steve and Tina Crow, from Shreveport, La., were presented with the $1,000 grand prize for holding the winning ticket at the party held on Saturday. As the principal sponsor of the event Rod Minner presented the check to the happy couple. “I had to talk Steve into taking part in the Scavenger Hunt,” Tina said.

They said they had a great time riding their motorcycle through the Ozarks during the three-day event. Minner took to the stage at the Rowdy Beaver and thanked all motorcycle riders for visiting Eureka Springs, and invited them back to next year’s event. Another event was a live benefit auction of numerous articles of interest to riders. Auction donations made by Scavenger Hunt sponsors and others included lodging and dining gift certificates, bike-related items and framed prints of historic panoramic photographs of motorcycle clubs from the 1920s to 1940s. Of particular interest was the large framed poster of Elvis Presley on a 1964 Honda motorcycle from the movie “Roustabout.” A total of $667 was raised from the auction and a check for $750 was presented to Tanya Smith by David Bell, publisher of “Cruise the Ozarks.” Bell’s rider’s guide rounded up the amount given to the nonprofit beneficiary Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge.

Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge opens new habitat

After the storm

Duke the tiger gets a new, spacious home

Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge is inviting the public watch Duke the Tiger be released into his new habitat at 10 a.m. this Saturday. Duke is an 18-year-old male tiger who arrived at TCWR in 2012. He was one of 34 big cats that were relocated to TCWR in 2012, when their 72-year-old owner could no longer take care of them due to failing health. Duke’s new habitat is part of TCWR’s Crash the Compound campaign, where animals are being released from cages

into a more comfortable habitat at the refuge. “Duke has been waiting two years in the last cages of what remains of the compound. This new habitat will give him freedom and is one more step towards eliminating cages with concrete,” Scott Smith, TCWR’s vice president said. Admission prices to TCWR are $20 for adults, $15 for teenagers, $10 for children 12 and under and for seniors and enlisted military. Children under three are free.
