Children’s band is a hit with elementary students By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

If the students at Eureka Springs Elementary School have any say in it, the children’s band Mömandpöp will be very successful. The band performed at the school twice Tuesday to rave reviews. “They should do this every single week!” said fourth-grader Madalyn Sewell. Third-grader Dillania Jackson disagreed, saying the band should perform every day. Mömandpöp’s performance, Jackson said, entertained all her friends. “My favorite song was the one where Pop was a wizard. It was funny. I felt like my head was going to explode it was so good,” Jackson said. Created by husband and wife duo Bobby Matthews and Virginia Ralph, Mömandpöp released a self-titled album this past year. The couple moved to Eureka Springs this summer to begin a show based on the songs from “Mömandpöp.” Ralph recalled giving a copy of the album to Donesa Mann, a music teacher at Eureka Springs Elementary School, before school started this year. Mann said she immediately wanted to use the album as a teaching tool. “I was amazed. I thought it was perfect for the students in our building. Their songs teach things like days of the week and the seasons,” Mann said. Mann said she has begun using the the first song on the album, “We’re So Glad to See You,” to introduce the elementary school’s weekly assembly. “The song’s about being friends. It’s like, ‘Welcome to my school. Welcome to being here with me,’” Mann said. Until she and Matthews were setting up for their show in the elementary school cafeteria, Ralph said she didn’t know their album was being used as a teaching tool. She remembered hearing students in the next room working on a rhythm exercise to Mömandpöp’s song “Socks and Shoes.” “They were clapping with it. It was being used to teach rhythm,” Ralph said. It’s fitting for Mann to use the album in the classroom, Matthews said, because he initially conceived the album for that

purpose. In the beginning, Matthews explained, he hoped “Mömandpöp” would be used to teach toddlers and pre-kindergarten students rhythm. “We were teaching them rhythm, days of the week, colors of the rainbow and seasons. That’s embedded in those songs,” Matthews said, adding that he wrote the songs with his own interests as a child in mind. Instead, the couple started performing at Gaskin Switch Theater. The show has since moved to Pine Mountain Jamboree Theater. At these shows, Matthews said, Mömandpöp didn’t draw a large audience. He described feeling overwhelmed after his first performance at the elementary school, saying the large group far exceeded his expectations. “We’re sometimes prepared to pull kids out of their shell because we like the show to be interactive, but we didn’t have to do that today. The kids were all excited and willing to participate,” Matthews said. “They didn’t have any problem dancing, and they laughed at all my jokes.” Ralph agreed that the students participated heavily; the best part, she said, was seeing special needs students get involved. Several of these children danced to the

music, Ralph remembered, and a non-verbal student even started singing along. Matthews choked up when being reminded of the non-verbal student’s reaction, saying he was rendered speechless. “That meant a lot to me. Everybody participated. Everybody was there with us,” Matthews said. Ralph remembered how Sewell responded to the show; during the performance, Ralph said, Sewell held her hand up after every song. When she finally called on the fourth-grader, Ralph said she was touched. “She spoke on how much music means to her and how inspired she was by music and how inspired she felt right then. She

was very overwhelmed by the experience in a happy way,” Ralph said. Sewell recalled speaking up. She said she has been inspired by Mömandpöp’s music all year and was excited to see the band perform live. “I told Mömandpöp that I really love music. It makes me go happy and every time I talk about that it makes me cry for some reason,” Sewell said. Sewell’s response, Ralph said, encapsulated the goal of Mömandpöp. “It’s exactly the whole reason we make music is to hear something like that. It was just an amazing moment,” Ralph said. It was not a shock, Mann said, to see Mömandpöp connect so well with the elementary students. Mann called Matthews and Ralph experienced professionals, saying the couple interacts well with children. “It’s obvious they have experience. They’re very effective,” Mann said. Mömandpöp, Mann continued, should have no trouble finding a place in Eureka Springs. “We’re very blessed to have them here. I hope the community will be curious about them and take advantage of this talent, because it’s not every day that a couple this talented moves into your town,” Mann said. Ralph said she hopes to perform at other schools in Carroll County; after performing at Eureka Springs, she said, she’s confident that Mömandpöp translates well to young audiences. Matthews added that he’s already drafted ideas for a second album.

North Arkansas vets offered honor flight seats

Honor Flight of the Ozarks, based in Springfield, Mo., is inviting World War II or Korean War veterans living in north Arkansas to register for one of the few seats remaining for a one-day trip October 20 to Washington, D.C. to see the war memorials. Currently, there are no honor flight operations departing from Arkansas, and the group wants eligible veterans in North Arkansas to have the opportunity to participate. The flight will depart from Springfield-Branson National Airport and spend the day in Washington, D.C. touring the war memorials and viewing the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. The trip will be the last one this year before flights renew in the spring. Priority for seats on the flight are avail-

able to veterans diagnosed as terminally ill and then to veterans of World War II, and then the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Veterans traveling on the flight will travel with a guardian who pays $450 to cover their seat cost on the roundtrip flight. If a veteran does not have anyone to serve as their guardian, the group has volunteer guardians who will be happy to fill that role. Volunteer guardians may also register on the website at www.HonorFlightOfTheOzarks.org. Discount lodging is also available to those participating veterans who need to drive in to Springfield the night before and lodging facilities also provide shuttles to the airport. For applications for more information, call 417-268-9052 between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. or visit the website.

City council approves purchase of fire truck By Alana Cook

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Eureka Springs City Council on Monday night unanimously passed with an emergency clause an ordinance to waive competitive bidding on a ladder truck for the Eureka Springs Fire Department. Aldermen also unanimously passed a resolution to accept $712,500 in Federal Emergency Management Agency funding to purchase a ladder truck. The city will be required to provide a 5 percent matching amount of $37,500. To meet the matching amount, the city plans to refinance a loan on an ambulance. “We paid $350,000 and only owe $60,000 and we are thinking of refinancing it at 3 percent,” Mayor Butch Berry said. Eureka Springs Fire Chief Randy Ates said the new truck would replace the fire department’s current ladder truck, which is a 1981 model that fell out of compliance “years ago” and could only be sold for scrap. “The fire truck has a shorter wheel base and can get around streets a lot better,” Berry said. Aldermen also unanimously passed a resolution to submit a grant application to the Arkansas Rural Development Commission

to secure state grant funds for solar panels for the maintenance building project. “This is an application we found through the Department of Rural Services for putting on solar panels for the maintenance building,” Berry said. “I think it’s a 100 percent grant. We are in the process of having the (engineers) drawing up plans. We will have them ready in about two to three weeks to put out for bid,” he said. In other business, aldermen discussed the Auditorium. The city council and the City Advertising and Promotions Commission will hold a joint meeting to discuss the issue. Alderman Terry McClung said the CAPC “feels its funding direction is bringing people to town” and that it’s a “heartbreaker” for him to see low numbers at the shows. “It needs different leadership and the CAPC can focus more on advertising,” he said. “How much does this town want it and are you willing to look at options to fund it? Then, how are you going to run and it who should it be turned over to let it be done? There’s a lot of competition in northwest corridor. It’s going to be rough,” Alderman David Mitchell said.

Judge: Men must be more active in fight against domestic violence By Alana Cook

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Madison County District Court Judge Dale Ramsey, speaking to the Eureka Springs Lions Club last Wednesday, said that although the courts are making progress in the state’s fight to end domestic violence, men need to take a more of a “leadership role” when dealing with the issue. “Typically, we have women advocating for this. It’s simply not just a women’s problem. We need more men in leadership positions that take this seriously to come up with changes and things that will help,” Ramsey said in a phone interview with the Citizen. “It’s something I haven’t typically seen in domestic violence presentations but it’s important for me to promote to see if we can get other men involved in this.” Ramsey, who serves on the Arkansas District Judges Domestic Violence Advisory Committee, credited Rebekah Tucci, the domestic violence program coordinator for the state’s Administrative Office of the Courts, for “putting a bug” in his ear about the need for batterer intervention programs and for more men to lead the fight. Ramsey said that in local courts, batterers are often ordered to attend anger management classes but those classes aren’t designed to deal with domestic violence offenders because anger is often not the root cause. In the last decade, Arkansas has consistently ranked at or near the top 10 states with the highest incidence of domestic violence homicides, according to the Arkansas Judiciary website. “We had a meeting with Ozark Guidance and Rebecca was there. We talked about different classes that are available for batterers. After the meeting, I realized it (anger management classes) wasn’t what batterers should be sentenced to,” he said. “The longer, more involved batterer intervention

programs get participants to open up more and they really focus on domestic violence more than a simple anger management class.” Ramsey said he asked Ozark Guidance to give the pre-

sentation to local judges in June so they could learn “what works best.” “Domestic violence is not about anger. Anger is a small part. Some people interpret domestic violence to mean a man has an anger problem and he can’t control it. Domestic violence is about men exerting control over significant others and exerting power over them,” he said. Ramsey acknowledged that women can be perpetuators as well and that understanding the power and control cycle is paramount for victims, judges and advocates. “Power and control is domestic violence 101. Anger is not always necessary for a man exerting power and control. He can control people through finances, threatening kids, trying to know their whereabouts, who they talk to, where they go, how they wear their hair.” Ramsey said that he has heard a lot of people in Carroll County express interest in intervention programs that hold batterers accountable but currently, there is no facility where the programs can be held and lack of funding is the biggest obstacle. Laura Ponce, whose daughter Laura Aceves was murdered on New Year’s Eve 2012 in Carroll County by an ex-boyfriend after she repeatedly attempted to get help, was at the presentation and said that Carroll County desperately needs a shelter for battered women. “They have to go to Harrison and it’s full most of the time,” she said. “I want people to know how hard Judge Ramsey is working to help domestic violence victims.” During the presentation, Ramsey also talked about Laura’s Law, which was passed in honor of Aceves and domestic violence victim Laura Webb this summer. The law requires law enforcement officers to use a lethality assessment when responding to a report of domestic violence and for first reSee Ramsey, page 7

Domestic violence forum slated for Oct. 22 By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

The Carroll County Coalition Against Domestic Violence (CCCADV) will host a forum addressing domestic violence on Thursday, Oct. 22. The forum, called “Everybody’s Business,” will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Berryville Community Center at 601 Dr. Spurlin Circle. Its purpose is to educate those in contact with domestic violence, and it will feature two speakers and panel discussion among an advocate,

a member of law enforcement and legal, medical and business representatives. Arkansas State Rep. Bob Ballinger will open the forum at 9: 45 a.m., with CCCADV chairwoman Evelyn Eidson speaking on her personal experience at 10 a.m. There will be a panel discussion from 10:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. The panel consists of: Amber Lacewell, who works with the Northwest Arkansas Women’s Shelter; Carroll County Sheriff Randy Mayfield; Berryville City Attorney Clint Scheel; Carroll County Circuit Judge

Scott Jackson; and Carol Wynn, the emergency room manager at Mercy Hospital. Lunch will take place from 12:15 p.m. to 1 p.m., followed by keynote speaker Rebekah Tucci. Tucci is the director of the domestic violence program for the Arkansas Supreme Court. Networking opportunities will wrap up the forum at 2 p.m. Eidson explained how the forum got its name, saying domestic violence permeates every part of society and has since the beginning of time.

“It’s a human issue. It involves all kinds of relationships and even the perpetrator is a victim sometime down the road,” Eidson said. “We need to get across that this is about stopping the violence, stopping what’s going on and that it is everybody’s business.” Eidson said men are often victims of domestic violence. “We don’t think about the other side of the coin. To me, it’s important that we get across the idea that it’s about everyone,” Eidson said.

Eureka Springs firefighter Rod Wasson has made a large step in his recovery and is walking without assistance after his breathing tube was removed last Friday. 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. “Rod believes that he will be downgraded from the burn unit soon,” Monday’s Facebook post said. “Firefighter Rod Wasson is up and about in his room! Chief Ates visited with Rod this afternoon and reports that he is weak, but able to walk slowly without assistance. His appetite has returned and he ate six chicken nuggets and a cheeseburger for lunch.” The post said Wasson is grateful for the community’s support while he recovers. “Rod says ‘thank you’ for all of the cards, letters, balloons and calls. He also said that he appreciates the way everyone

Eureka Springs firefighters rescue woman from top of water tower

Firefighters from Eureka Springs performed an unusual rescue Wednesday afternoon. The Eureka Springs Police Department responded to a call of a possible stranded person on top of the water tower on Roark Road. Witnesses stated that a woman wearing a backpack had climbed the water tower about an hour and a half earlier and had not been seen since. The fire department was dispatched to assist in accessing and removing the victim from the top of the 120-foot water tower. A team of three firefighters climbed the water tower. The team consisted of experienced members including James Cowan, who is a former public works employee for Eureka Springs and has climbed the tower several times; firefighter Jim Blair, who has experience in the past climbing radio towers; and Captain Shane Stanley, who is a paramedic/firefighter and has an avid interest in rescue. Upon reaching the lip of the tower, the team discovered that the victim was indeed still on top of the water tank. She said she had climbed the tower to “get away” for a while. She assured rescuers that she was uninjured and able to climb down with assistance. The firefighters placed the woman in a rescue harness and tied her off with a rescue rope. She climbed down the ladder between two firefighters while the third stayed at the top to guide the rescue rope

Downtown Eureka Springs hosted its annual re-enactment of the Great Eureka Springs Bank Robbery on Saturday. The robbery occurred on Sept. 27, 1922. It ended badly for the would-be robbers when armed townspeople killed three of the bandits. The other two were captured and sent to prison. Saturday’s event was much more festive.

Endowed scholarship for single parent established in Carroll County Lovely County Citizen The Single Parent Scholarship Fund of Northwest Arkansas (SPSF NWA) has established the Carroll County Endowed Single Parent Scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded to a single parent in the county each year. A press release from SPSF notes that the goal of the scholarship is to create “better, brighter futures” for families through higher education. The scholarship in Carroll County, the release explains, came about when the Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund (ASPSF) challenged SPSF NWA to raise half the money for the scholarship. ASPSF agreed to match money raised by SPSF NWA. Volunteers in Carroll County have been working with SPSF NWA since November 2014. The release says these volunteers are Glenn Williams, Autumn Hudgins, John and Gina Gregson and Sharon Spurlin. Without the help of these volunteers, the release states, the Carroll County Endowed Single Parent Scholarship would not have been possible. Carroll County residents who would like to donate to the scholarship fund can do so by visiting www.spsfnwa.org/ pathway-to-prosperity or calling Joy Morris at 479-435-4888. Founded in 1984, SPSF NWA serves Madison, Carroll and Washington

The Natural Way Horse-chestnut for varicose and spider veins, hemmorhoids

Jim Fain pider veins are known as superficial varicose veins. You see them as wiggly red, blue or black decorations just under the surface of the skin. They are found mostly on the thighs, legs, ankles and feet. Deeper varicose veins happen too and can cause troubles. Most everyone is familiar with the varicose vein called a hemorrhoid. Horse-chestnut, also known as aesculus hippocastanum, is an herb sanctioned by the German Commission E as a great choice to deal with all of these vein troubles. Treatment for the leg vein symptoms, s o m e times called stasis dermatitis, is an age-old use of this herb. Some of the symptoms of vein disease include pain, a sensation of heaviness, nighttime cramps in the calves and ankle swelling. Sometimes nighttime cramps are caused by not having enough minerals or electrolytes so I recommend adding those first and if I still had troubles, I’d definitely give Horse-chestnut a try. For spider veins, make tea with cut and sifted Horse-chestnut and let it cool. Then, lay a washcloth or maybe a length of gauze thoroughly dampening the wrap. Squeeze out the excess into your original container and layer the cloth or gauze on top of or around the highly colorful/decorative area. Repeat this daily for about 10 days. Clearly label the container as not being safe for consumption. Try adding some witch hazel to cool and heal the skin. Save the extra tea in the fridge to be used the next day and make up fresh wrap of tea every two or three days. Adding Gotu kola, also known as Centella asiatica, can make the herbal wrap just a little better. Don’t overdo with gotu kola as some sensitivity could happen if you use too much. Horse-chestnut also comes in capsules for swallowing. A standardized capsule of 300 mg. of Horse-chestnut will produce 60 mg. of aescin (one of the most active ingredients) per capsule. Taking up to three of these daily helps with deep varicose veins, spider veins and greatly reduces hemorrhoids. It is a blood thinner so if you take prescription Coumadin or Warfarin it is best to avoid this herb.

Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: Be careful what you wish for, especially when you’re locked in the bathroom and out of toilet paper. Make time to read those 57 free subscriptions to the National Enquirer and US Weekly. Taurus: There’s a spring in your step on Wednesday, and everywhere you go, you do a little dance. That’s what you get when you dry all your thongs on the high setting for ninety minutes. GEMINI: A great relief comes on Monday when you learn that no one actually expects anything from you. Just aim to wear pants on most days and pay the rent, and you’re good. CANCER: You have a 2 p.m. appointment with a man in a trench coat. If you’re lucky, it’s Daniel Craig with nothing underneath. If you’re not so lucky, it’s your grandpa with nothing underneath. Better call the retirement home and make sure he’s on his medication, just in case. LEO: Work has been difficult lately, but that’s no reason to jump atop the water cooler, swing your keyboard and demand the boss walk the plank. First you need to make sure the crew is ready to mutiny, then grab your keyboard. VIRGO: Three-hour meetings in the conference room become a lot easier when you discover the secret word. That word is vodka. Oddly enough, drunk you has better ideas than sober you, so there could be a new project in your future. LIBRA: Everyone has a secret passion, but no one expected yours to be creating life-size sculptures of Liam Neeson out of cheese. Obviously you have a particular set of skills. SCORPIO: The best defense is a good offense, so insult your supervisor’s lack of fashion sense before you go in for your annual review. It will make the meeting move a lot faster. SAGITTARIUS: Your day is filled with sunshine. You should

probably get those holes in the roof fixed before you end up with a couch potato tan line. CAPRICORN: Every day is a gift, although Monday is an ugly two sizes too small from your great-aunt Gertrude. Accept it with a smile so you can get to the good stuff this weekend.

Bowden rests in his cage at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge.

African Serval gets new habitat Bowden moves into his new, bigger, habitat at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge

The public is invited to watch Bowden, an African Serval, take his first steps into his new habitat at 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 19 at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. Bowden was surrendered to Turpentine when he was seven months-old in Nov. of 2001. His cage mate Pickles, who was supposed to join him in the new habitat, passed away Sunday from liver cancer. Despite this tragedy, TCWR is moving forward with plans to let Bowden into his habitat Saturday. Bowden’s new habitat is part of TCWR’s Crash the Compound campaign. The compound area of TCWR is made up

of original cages from 1992. Those cages served their purpose of saving animals, but are no longer needed. After Bowden’s release, there will only be two tigers, Shasta and Izzy, left to move before the compound is empty. “We have done our best over the past 12 years to get all of our cats out into habitats. It is great to finally see Bowden get his turn at a spacious place to run and play,” said Scott Smith, vice president of TCWR. Admission prices are $20 for adults, $15 for teenagers, $10 for children 12 and under and for seniors and military. Children under three are free.

The event is free and locals and visitors alike are invited to dress up and join the procession of undead revelers.
