Spirits of the Basin

Tour at 1905 Basin Park Hotel highlights ghosts of Eureka’s colorful past By Alana Cook

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

A madam, musicians, millionaires, gangsters, outlaws, Indians, a U.S. senator — and ghosts — are among the cast of colorful characters whose lives are featured on the Spirits of the Basin tour at the 1905 Basin Park Hotel. Guests last Thursday night made their way up a flight of stairs that lead into a cave and former speakeasy, where the walls are lined with empty liquor bottles. Legend has it that a creek ran through the cave and restaurant patrons could choose their main dish from the trout swimming in the creek. Master storyteller and mental health counselor Thomas Stacks and Bobby Matthews, whose children’s show just debuted at Gaskin Switch Theatre, served as guides, taking guests on an hour-and-a-half tour of the hotel, through banquet rooms and to a widow’s walk built for the tour on the hotel’s rooftop. Matthews said that before he and his wife moved to Eureka and began renting Penn Castle, he was a skeptic but he’s seen a few things that have changed his mind. “There’s definitely something here,” he said. The tour, which focuses on the town’s rich history, complements the Crescent Hotel Ghost Tour. “We want the tour to focus on Eureka’s history,” Stacks said. A large black-and-white photo of Cy Wilson’s body hangs in a room near the cave’s entryway. Wilson was killed in 1922, during Eureka Springs’ Great Bank Robbery. Tour-goers with EMF meters in hand followed Stacks and Matthews up to the Ozark Room, near the hotel’s atrium. Stacks turned off the lights and waited for paranormal activity. “The hotel’s waitstaff avoids this room because someone supposedly drowned in two inches of water in the ’90s,” he said in a whispery soft voice as he leaned in on his cane. “I don’t know the specifics, but it’s strange. The previous tour guide had an

eerie feeling someone was looking at her when she was in the room and she got really creeped out.” Stacks put a pen on the table that shined hundreds of tiny dots on the wall. “If ghosts are here, the dots will look like they are waving,” he said. For a split second, one person saw the dots move and another’s EMF meter flashed. “Usually, people don’t realize they have taken photos of ghosts until they get home. They have sent us photos of orbs and we got a photo of a female apparition.” Stacks said the “magic” happens on the third floor. “It’s considered to be the most active because people have reported strange things. People have seen ghosts of a cowboy who we think is John Chisum, who died here when it was the Perry House,” he said. Later, reporters on the Citizen’s “ghost team” awoke at 3 a.m. when a door slammed shut and keys slid from a desk in room 306 where they were staying. Stacks and Matthews took tour-goers up to the widow’s walk on the hotel’s roof, where they could see the magnificent view of the city and hear tales about people coming to the town to be healed from its springs. Stacks talked about the town’s patriarch, Claude Fuller and his grand-nephew Joe Parkhill. “We refer to the period between 1945 and 1955 as Little Chicago because a lot of people visited from there and came to Eureka to have fun. The Capone sisters stayed at the Basin for a month. People came here and engaged in the kinds of activities they enjoyed in the town … gambling, prostitution and liquor by the drink,” he said. “The town had a lot of ladies of the night.” Stacks also told stories of Fuller’s kindness and fondness for the town he built. “Basin was also known as the people’s hotel because Fuller opened it up in the winter so locals could eat and stay warm.” Stacks then led tour-goers down to the Barefoot Ballroom, where he told the story See Spirits, page 18

SWEPCO plans temporary outage A planned interruption of electrical service is scheduled for customers in Eureka Springs on Sunday so Southwestern Electric Power Company can perform maintenance work on the electric system serving the area. The outage is expected to begin at 3 a.m. and end at 5 a.m. It will affect about 1,600 SWEPCO customers in Eureka Springs, according to a press

release from SWEPCO. “SWEPCO will test system controls that are essential to providing reliable service to Eureka Springs customers and SWEPCO officials have contacted the city to coordinate plans for the outage. Customers in the affected areas will be receiving a phone message about the outage,” the press release said.

Wasson’s condition improving after weekend setback Lovely County Citizen Injured Eureka Springs firefighter Rod Wasson’s condition worsened for a while over the weekend but was showing improvement by Sunday afternoon, according to a post on the Eureka Springs Fire & EMS Facebook page. “According to our fire department chaplain, Gary Martin, Wasson is once again doing better,” the Sunday afternoon post said. “His temperature has decreased and the pneumonia risk has once again faded. He has been removed from the high-pressure vent to a low-pressure ventilator. He will begin the process again of trying to breathe on his on today. “Please continue to keep the family and Wasson in your thoughts. Your continued well wishes, prayers, encouragement and positive energy is much appreciated.” A Saturday post said that Wasson had

developed a severe case of pneumonia and a high temperature. That post said Wasson was being heavily sedated and had been returned to a high-pressure ventilator while nurses used cooling pats to combat his fever. That post noted that Wasson’s family had been receiving regular visits in the waiting room from fellow Eureka Springs emergency responders as well as others from throughout the area and medical professionals as well. That post also included a photo of handmade get-well cards from the local school. Wasson was injured on the night of Aug. 29 while fighting a house fire on Grand Avenue in Eureka Springs. Wasson’s breathing regulator became dislodged and fellow firefighter Josh Beyler had to remove him from the residence. Wasson was transported to Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Mo., where he is being treated in the burn unit. Now Under New Ownership

Holding a bouquet of flowers, Lauren Girkin of Eureka Springs beamed at the Miss Carroll County 2015 Fair Queen Pageant Wednesday night. Girkin was named Miss Carroll County 2015. This accomplishment, she said, was years in the making. “I’m actually a very shy person. It’s something I’ve tried to work through,” Girkin said. To fight her shyness, Girkin began competing in pageants five years ago. Winning the pageants, she said, was never her biggest motivator. Instead, Girkin cited the public speaking skills that pageant contestants learn to cultivate. “It was great practice for being outgoing. That’s why I did it,” Girkin said. Attending public school, she added, also helped her reach out to others.

From The Editor Reflecting on Katrina and Rita, my story

he frail, lifeless body of an elderly African-American woman sitting in a wheelchair flashed across the TV screen. Thousands of people begged for water and food after being shuffled to the Superdome by the busloads. An arena that was once a place for celebration transformed into a place of desperation and death. Evacuees waited on top of their roofs for days to be rescued. Troops rolled in with their hands on their guns as looters ransacked downtown stores. New Orleans had become a war zone. Alana Cook It’s been 10 years since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast but it seems like yesterday. I remember sitting in front of the TV frozen in disbelief as I watched a disconnected government utterly and completely fail its people. I grew up in Port Arthur, Texas, and preparing for hurricane was a way of life. But nothing could have prepared me for how the lives of thousands of people, my family’s life and my own life would change forever. About a month after Katrina made landfall, Hurricane Rita, a Category 5 storm, hit my hometown. We had just moved from Harrison to Northern Virginia when I got the call from my aunt who had just evacuated from the storm. These were my people, this was my family and my home. “Your mom was evacuated and is in a nursing home in Fifth Ward Houston. Please, please go help her.” Worry took a back seat to memories of long days on the beach and feasting on pasta and sardines at St.

Joseph’s Altar. It’s part of the Sicilian Code: You don’t venture far from your family, but I had. I rented an SUV and drove from Virginia to Houston. When I got there, it was the middle of the night in the city’s most dangerous neighborhood. I was alone but risked it because I had to hurry and get Mom out. The staff wouldn’t help me get her motorized scooter onto the U-Haul so I lifted the 300-pound monster myself and put it in. Mom never got to travel ,so the drive back to Virginia was amazing. She kept her eyes fixated on the valleys as we went up the steep hills through the Smoky Mountains. It was her first time seeing a mountain, and her first time outside of Texas and Louisiana. Welcome to a new world, Mama. The next five years were difficult but I wouldn’t trade those years for the world. When I wasn’t working, my mom, the kids and I ventured through the museums in D.C. and watched fireworks on the National Mall on July 4. We took turns pushing her wheelchair down the halls of the Smithsonian while she marveled at the art. We laughed until we cried when she couldn’t get over how real the wax statue of an elderly housewife and her tabloids was. We talked politics for hours and she never got over seeing people suffer in the aftermath of Katrina. She bonded with one of her nurses was also an evacuee. Mom passed away in an Arlington, Va., hospital in December 2010. Her room overlooked the Potomac. I could see the National Monument peer through drizzles of snowflakes when the kids came in to say their goodbyes. A long journey home that began with devastation ended in a peaceful rest. “You done good, Mama,” I said as I put my head down and closed the door to her hospital room.

The Natural Way DMSO for arthritis and pain

long-term local resident asked me to write about a very useful product. People have by acciJim Fain dent found this to help them in many ways. Though, I’ve written about this odd situation and product before I thought I’d update the information. With fall weather here, perhaps this is something to think about for arthritis and pain. This is a strange and very American situation. A natural by-product of the wood industry is being studied by American pharmaceutical companies. This produces a wealth of solid scientific medical information for a wide range of ailments. Yet it remains in the hardware store or on a veterinarian’s shelf. Those of you who know of Dimethyl sulfoxide, commonly known as DMSO, no introduction is needed. DMSO as a pharmaceutical began in 1961 when Dr. Jacob was head of the organ transplant program at Oregon Health Sciences University. He found it useful with skin transplants and has spent his life investigating DMSO. According to Dr. Jacob one of the troubles with the official approval is that it does too many things and isn’t limited to one pill or one ailment. Veterinarians have used DMSO as a horse liniment for reducing inflammation in sprains, strains, stiff joints and arthritis. Folk uses in humans are similar. Many people have followed grandma’s lead and used this turpentine-like liquid or gel for a wide range of conditions for soft tissue damage from spider bites, ticks, chiggers skin ulcers and burns. Most grannies certainly had their version of horse liniment for rheumatism like Fibromyalgia and painful arthritis. In some 11,000 medical articles from all over the world, many doctors internationally seem very comfortable with DMSO for a variety of ailments such as pain reduction from herpes zoster and shingles, inflammation, scleroderma, interstitial cystitis, arthritis and for the reduction of elevated inter-cranial pressure. An online search showed a couple of interesting uses to help with conditions such as sciatica, lower back pain and any type of auto-immune processes including silicon immune toxicity syndromes. The only real drawback and it is really very minor is that DMSO is absorbed through the skin very fast and for a short while you might taste it in your mouth and your breath may be a little awkward. It is no worse than having a little too much garlic. Newer formulations don’t do this at all, just the older ones. I’m certainly going to have it on hand this year for spider, tick and chigger bites as well as aches and pain.

Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: If you love something, set it free. That makes it more challenging when you throw vegetables at their head for leaving you with all those kids and the dog with the nervous bladder. Soon you’ll be a great pitcher with a mean fastball. TAURUS: You don’t have to aspire to greatness, but you should at least crawl out of bed and work your way to “Meh.” While you’re up, wash those sheets before they’re too stiff to fit in the washing machine. GEMINI: Today you’re in the zone! Could be a “Men Working” Zone or a “Falling Rock” Zone, depending on what you need. If you’re really hard up, you may find yourself in a “It’s Raining Men” Zone. CANCER: Giggle in the face of adversity and you’ll relieve the tension. Sneeze in its mouth while it’s trying to swallow you and it will quickly let you go. Sometimes being gross works in your favor. LEO: Relax. You don’t know if it’s a bad day or not until you tear the shrink-wrap off. It could just be weird packaging. Give the day the benefit of the doubt unless you see a big dent in the side. In that case, keep the receipt. VIRGO: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but no one has to use their eyes to realize the wonder of your weirdness. Keep that freak flag flying, because it’s working for you. LIBRA: It’s fine to avoid going where everyone knows your name, especially if that name is “Stinky,” “Lumpy” or “Grumphead.” Find a fresh crowd so they can anoint you with a brand new annoying nickname. SCORPIO: Your co-workers will get the shaft on Monday, but you landed on top of the elevator car. Expect the day to be filled with ups and downs until you get off. SAGITTARIUS: Find your center. Is it filled with inner peace,

emotional turmoil or creamy nougat? If it’s the latter, you shouldn’t explore your soul until after lunch. CAPRICORN: The world is your oyster, so do as you’re told and shuck it. Karma may feel slimy on the way down, but you’ll appreciate the gourmet treat. AQUARIUS: Some people howl at the moon, but you just snort at the TV. Get off the couch and walk the wild side for a change. Fine, take a flashlight and some pepper spray if

you’re worried about werewolves or weird dudes with beards. PISCES: Doing things you don’t like is part of life.
