Small town medicine By Alana Cook Even though Dr. Chris Baranyk served with Forward Operating Teams and saved lives in Afghanistan, he said that in medicine, it’s the little victories that count. Baranyk moved from Fairbanks, Ak. to Eureka Springs with his wife and daughter a month ago and will be practicing at the Eureka Springs Hospital Family Clinic which opens Monday across from Passion Play Road. He went to medical school at Kirksville College of Osteopathy and got a degree in Osteopathic medicine. He did his residency at DeWitt Army Community Hospital in Fort Belvoir, Va. and practiced medicine in Alaska for five years. Baranyk also serves in the Arkansas National Guard. He considered surgery but finally settled on family medicine after he was deployed to Afghanistan from 2012 to 2013. It was Kapiza, Afghanistan where he cut his teeth on medicine. “Kapiza is an important area because there it has a valley opening into Pakistan and it was the job of the French to protect that area but once the French president ran and said they are getting their guys out partly because of a suicide bombing at that location, then they stopped fighting so all the Taliban in the area would cut their teeth by coming up to the post and just shooting at it.” Baranyk and the U.S. troops he was deployed with refused to let the holdout fall. “When our team came in right behind a Forward Operating Team which was first ID first came in and went up on the guard towers to shoot, the French were shocked, they said ‘We don’t do that,’ and we were like ‘We do that now.’” “We had multiple Special Forces units with us to make sure that area stayed safe,” he said. “There was literally a road, our post, then tree line and bad guys and we would just shoot at each other every day. It was very kinetic so we had four teams in different areas of Afghanistan ours was the only one seeing any combat.”
Baranyk said he tended to forces on both sides that were severely wounded and recalled one time when he helped soldiers who were burned on 80 percent of their body. “We saw anything from through and through shrapnel wounds to missing arms and limbs and we were able to stabilize everyone and get them packaged and thrown out either through our own abilities our using the Afghan services. None wounded were U.S. but were all supportive fighters,” he said. “I saw a group of guys who had wounds throughout 80 percent of their body. There’s nowhere to put an IV so I had to go in through their bones.” A lot of people don’t realize that when medical teams are deployed they serve all sides, per the Geneva Convention. “You have to also help the enemy sometimes. We were supposed to be working with Afghans but they didn’t really want to play along because we were doing all the work,” he said. Baranyk said he and his wife settled on Eureka Springs and Carroll County because they want to raise their daughter in an area that is open-minded. “My wife knew this area because an uncle got married here when she was younger and it’s a fun kind of small town,” he said. “We want to raise our child in a place that is open-minded and safe where we could have land and some freedom and we don’t want to live in a subdivision, we live here and have 60 acres and are looking to buy more.” Baranyk said he wants to not just serve patients in Eureka Springs but all of Carroll County and once the practice grows, he would like to do boutique medicine and provide services to help with painless tattoos and also help with dermal piercings. “The plan is for this clinic to be a stand-alone branch of the hospital and if this becomes profitable and then we will look for more doctors,” he said. “The reality is that all the physicians in the area are getting older so with that said, in next five to 10 years, the city and county will be at a deficit for physicians.”

No injures reported in BV apartment fire By Samantha Jones
CCNNews@cox-internet.com
Six apartments were destroyed and three have water damage following an apartment fire early Tuesday morning in Berryville. No one was injured in the blaze. Berryville Fire Chief Shannon Chester reported that he received a call at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday morning saying part of the Magnolia Village Apartments on Doxey Lane were on fire. Chester said his crew stayed on the scene until 11:50 a.m., noting how hard the firemen worked to pre-
vent the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings. “Our crew did an extremely good job keeping it contained,” Chester said. The first unit was on the scene, he added, four minutes after the call came in. Though no one was injured in the fire, Chester said none of the apartments are habitable. To help residents who have lost their homes, he said, an account has been set up at Cornerstone Bank. “It’s a bad situation,” Chester said. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

Bodies found in ES identified By Scott Loftis
CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
A man and woman whose bodies were discovered in a wooded area in Eureka Springs have been identified. Eureka Springs Police Chief Thomas Achord said in an email Friday afternoon that an initial report from the Arkansas State Medical Examiner’s Office identified the two as Tracey Deann Turner, a 46-year-old white female; and Ricky Gene Ketcher, a 56-year-old white male. An autopsy determined that Turner died of a shotgun wound to the chest and Ketcher died of a shotgun wound to the head. Both were pronounced dead at 7:23 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3. Achord said that according to family members, Turner and Ketcher were “considered married.” Achord said the two had most recently been living in Chelsea, Okla., but also had ties to Pueblo, Colo. An
obituary in a statewide newspaper on Friday listed Turner as “of Little Rock.” Achord said an investigation by his department determined that Turner and Ketcher had been in the Eureka Springs area since about Sept. 26. He said the two left “written information to be found following their discovery to assist in locating and notifying family. “At this time, it appears to investigators that Turner and Ketcher planned a consensual departing,” Achord said in his email. The bodies were discovered about 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 3, after Eureka Springs police officers responded to an abandoned vehicle on Oil Springs Road. Turner and Ketcher were founded in a wooded area nearby, between Oil Springs Road and the back parking lot of the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center.

The second annual Hungry Bowl was a success. The event took place on Saturday and, according to Hungry Bowl organizer Sheri Cunningham, exceeded last year’s event in number of tickets sold and money raised. This year, Cunningham said, approximately 350 tickets were sold. “We did raise significantly more than last year, but we’re waiting for a couple of invoices to come in to say how much,” Cunningham said. All proceeds from the event will be donated to food banks in Carroll County. Cunningham said the two food banks receiving a check this year are Flint Street Fellowship in Eureka Springs and Loaves & Fishes Food Bank in Berryville. The Hungry Bowl is an off-shoot of Empty Bowls, an international grassroots effort to raise money and awareness to end hunger. At the event, participants purchase a hand-crafted bowl to be filled with soup donated by local restaurants. The bowl is theirs to keep. Some of this year’s bowls, Cunningham noted, were created and donated by students throughout Carroll County. “They were fabulous. The art students
were instrumental in providing a significant number of bowls. They were creative and really unique,” Cunningham said. Cunningham thanked Eureka Springs High School for providing the venue for the event. ESHS, she said, provided a large amount of seating and parking. She described how helpful the school’s maintenance and cafeteria staff were, saying Hungry Bowl volunteers received assistance every step of the way on Saturday. “The custodians made sure that we had anything we needed and made sure we knew where things were. The cafeteria staff made sure that we had access to all their equipment and showed us the guidelines on what we could use,” Cunningham said. She also thanked the other volunteers, noting the participation of the Green Forest Girl Scout Troop. “They worked really hard and really contributed to making this work. Without them, we would’ve had a really tough time,” Cunningham said. Overall, Cunningham continued, the event went well. “It was successful. We are all really pleased and we look forward to getting checks to the food banks,” Cunningham said.

‘It’s all around us’
Survivors of domestic violence share their experiences
Editor’s note: This article is the first in a three-part series. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. By Samantha Jones CCNNews@cox-internet.com
As her boyfriend screamed at her to leave his house, Barb Mourglia searched the faces of everyone in the adjacent room for help. All her friends were there. They could hear Mourglia’s abusive boyfriend berating her, but they did nothing. “They were supposed to be my friends. And the look on their faces — they were so uncomfortable, but not in a way that made them say something or speak up,” Mourglia said. This wasn’t the first time her abuser publicly scolded her. In fact, he was infamous for this kind of behavior. Mourglia remembered how often he humiliated her with others nearby, saying he would loudly ask for her phone or car keys as if the items belonged to him. Though she
experienced many types of abuse, Mourglia said this particular behavior haunts her most. “It’s the one thing that stands out in my mind that will never go away,” Mourglia said. According to Dr. Cheri Yarborough, Mourglia’s abuser publicly insulted her to feel in control of the situation. Yarborough, who has worked with victims of domestic violence for years, explained how abusers desperately need to control others. The need for control, Yarborough said, often results from childhood trauma. “It’s a knee-jerk reaction to prove that they can be in control now. The whole issue of control is really what is behind almost all abuse,” Yarborough said. Yarborough described how abuse starts, saying abusers aren’t usually physically violent at the beginning of a relationship. Sometimes, she said, abusers never hit their victims.
“Belittling turns into emotional abuse and often escalates. The moment you don’t do exactly what they want, that’s the moment you see a glimmer of what’s to come,” Yarborough said. During this glimmer, she explained, an abuser will often express anger sarcastically. Yarborough said victims don’t quite catch on at first because of the way abusers present themselves at the beginning of the relationship. Abusers are narcissists, a trait Yarborough said relates directly to their need for control and helps lure in victims. “Usually abusers are very charismatic individuals. They’re very suave. They’re very complimentary. They try to woo you into thinking they’re the greatest thing since sliced bread. That wooing seduces you into thinking they can do no wrong,” Yarborough said. Mourglia remembered how her abuser treated her in the beginning, saying he ful-
filled Yarborough’s description in every way. Everyone seemed to like him, Mourglia said, and he could talk his way out of any situation. “I really thought I had something special. A lot of people thought he was special. I always said to myself, ‘This guy could run for president and he’d probably win.’ He was just so likable,” Mourglia said. Leslie Johnson, too, characterized her abusive ex-husband as a narcissist. Her abuser was in law enforcement, Johnson said, and got along well with co-workers and civilians alike. Johnson remembered the way her abuser told stories, saying he could captivate almost any audience. “He was everybody’s best bud. He had great stories and you loved to sit down and just listen to him,” Johnson said. “But at the same time, he had his own demons
NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS: Open enrollment for Medicare-D is in full swing. If you arn’t satisfied with your current plan you have until December 7, 2015 to select a new plan. We here at Smith Drug would like to offer some suggestions in choosing your plans for the coming year: 1) AVOID any plans that limit your healthcare choices. You should view any plans with great skepticism that limit your choices and options for a few dollars per month. Your grandfather was right when he told you there were no free rides. The same is true in healthcare; If you pay for substandard plans, you shouldn’t be surprised if you get substandard results.
2) Ask questions of your plan administrators: • Are my local providers allowed to participate • Will there be unwanted pressure to mail-order • Have a list of your medicines ready. Make sure your plan covers all your drugs. Ask what the total amount you should expect to pay per year. Ask what your drugs will cost monthly while you are in the “doughnut hole”.
Always remember the best medicine is to be proactive in your health care. Exercise regularly, avoid processed foods and sugars, and keep junk food to a minimum Eat fresh organic food when possible. Most importantly, maintain a healthy weight.

and his own demons played with me, and that was so very wrong.” For Johnson, the physical abuse didn’t begin until two or three years into her marriage. She recalled how her abuser put her in the hospital after physically abusing her for the first time, saying she returned when he threatened to take her kids away. Despite his promise not to hit her again, Johnson said her abuser became physical violent sporadically throughout the marriage. It isn’t uncommon for victims to return to their abuser the way Johnson did. Often, Yarborough explained, abusers assure victims that the abuse will stop. Yarborough said other factors, such as children, financial concerns and an intertwined social circle come into play as well. “When one abusive act happens, often women think it was an aberration. They think it was just this one time, so they forgive him for it. But statistics show that if he did it once he’ll do it again,” Yarborough said. Not all abusive relationships are physically violent, Yarborough noted. Mourglia confirmed this, saying she experienced controlling and manipulative behavior but was not physically abused. She described how her abuser practiced “gaslighting” on her. Gaslighting is a form of mental abuse in which abusers twist information or present false information to their victim. “It forced me to question my own sanity and worth, and to this day it affects how I am able to communicate with people,” Mourglia said. After three years of abuse, Mourglia left her abuser. She returned to him a year later and left again six months after that. Johnson reported an even longer period of abuse, saying she stayed with her abuser for 19 years because of their children. “I walked out with the clothes on my back and the car on my bottom and that was it. I had no money. I had nothing,” Johnson said. Both women remembered being stalked for years after ending their respective relationships; Johnson said her abuser stalked her for five years, and Mourglia recalled
being stalked in the years leading up to her marriage. “My husband told him, ‘Leave my wife alone.’ That did it. Now I’ve been free and clear for seven years,” Mourglia said. Because she hadn’t been educated about domestic violence, Mourglia said she didn’t realize her ex-boyfriend was abusive until the murder of Laura Aceves on New Year’s Eve 2012 in Eureka Springs. She began researching domestic violence at that time, Mourglia remembered, and discovered that she, too, had been a victim of domestic violence. “While in the relationship, I knew it wasn’t right but I was never able to think clearly enough to understand what was going on. Once I looked it in the face, I realized all these other instances where I’d been face-to-face with domestic violence. I just realized it’s all around us. It’s everywhere,” Mourglia said. Unlike Mourglia, Johnson knew she was in an abusive relationship. For many reasons, Johnson said, she didn’t leave her abuser when the abuse became obvious. She described how her abuser isolated her from others, moving the family around for years to prevent any close relationships outside the home. Johnson said she couldn’t even visit her mother after a few years. “I stayed because I had kids. I stayed because I didn’t know what else do. I stayed because I remembered what he was and I just wanted that back,” Johnson said. Since leaving their abusers, Mourglia and Johnson have married other men. Johnson explained how difficult it is to move on from an abusive relationship, saying she didn’t know what it meant to be in a relationship based on romantic love. Since remarrying, she said she has found that type of love. “Now I understand what love is all about. It’s terrible when you say you’re 50 years old when you finally figure it out, but that’s the deal,” Johnson said. Mourglia agreed. Her marriage, she said, has redefined the way she expects romantic relationships to function. “Now to be with a guy who respects me and really values me, I wish I could’ve told myself then, ‘Don’t waste your time with this. It’s not worth all the heartache and the fear and the drama,’” Mourglia said.
She’s speaking out about her experience now, Mourglia said, to break the silence many current and former victims of domestic violence live in. Mourglia called for more education across-the-board about abusive relationships. “I think had I known more about it, I would’ve felt more equipped to lay down the law and walk away from it rather than it dragging on for years,” Mourglia said. Johnson challenged people to be more aware of what others are experiencing, saying a little empathy would go a long way to combat domestic violence. Sometimes, she said, victims don’t feel ready to leave an abusive relationship and feel too ashamed to ask for help. “There are people who need to have power over someone else. There will always be jerks in the world. All we can do is be there for the victim when they decide to move on,” Johnson said. “One of the things we all say when we’re kids is, ‘Oh, I’ll never put up with that.’ You have no idea what you’ll put up with,” she continued. “You have no idea until you’re walking in those shoes.” Though Mourglia and Johnson experienced man-on-woman relationship abuse, Yarborough said abusers aren’t always men and abusive relationships aren’t always romantic. Sometimes, Yarborough noted, abusers are female. Sometimes, she said, a family member abuses another family member. “It has nothing to do with gender. It has everything to do with personality,” Yarborough said. “It’s a universal problem.” Yarborough reiterated how rampant domestic violence is, saying everyone probably knows someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence. She asked people to open their eyes and see what’s happening around them; awareness, Yarborough said, is half the battle. “Pay attention, because if you’re really observant you’ll realize, ‘Oh, there’s something not quite right with the kids down the block. Oh, there’s something not quite right at my neighbor’s house,’” Yarborough said. Part two will focus on law enforcement’s role in domestic violence cases. It will run in the Midweek edition Tuesday, Oct. 13.

Local homes featured in solar tours
Would you like to save up to 20 percent on your electric bill every month? Like the Eureka Springs Tour of Homes, local energy champions are making their homes and businesses available to show how to use only what is needed and how to make their own power. Visit with friends using smart energy ideas and solutions, making their own power, and saving the environment. Everyone is invited to visit the sites listed on http:// tinyurl.com/Solar-Sites-NWA Saturday, October 17, during the American Solar Energy Society Tours. Several homes in Eureka Springs and Carroll County will be on the tour. People on the tour will see the inside of a 2015 Chevy Volt and find out how much you can save driving an electric vehicle for 10 years. They will also see the amazing Electra, the perpetual motion, and zero-emission mini-truck. Get information on solar power and lights for your work truck, and low-cost solar trailers for off-grid power. They can also find out how much money
they can save with energy efficiency and solar power for your home or business. People are encouraged to bring their electric bills to find out how much they can save. Here are some tips on energy conservation and efficiency: 1. Use warm or cold water instead of hot water when washing clothes. 2. Replace air filters as recommended. 3. Get a tankless hot water heater. 4. Turn down your water heater thermostat. 5. Keep your air thermostat at 68 degrees in the winter and 78 degrees in the summer. 6. Check that your air vents are all the way open to increase airflow. 7. Use low flow shower heads to reduce hot water usage. 8. Change your old incandescent light bulbs to energy efficient LED bulbs. 9. Enjoy time outside and use a rake instead of a leaf blower to clean up those fallen leaves. 10. Open window shades and use sunlight to light your home, it’s free.

Carnegie Library to hold Branch Out this fall and winter
In anticipation of Eureka Springs’ Secret Season, the cold winter months when the pace slows down a bit, the Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library is excited to present the Branch Out Reading Program for adults. Branch Out will consist of a series of free events, both entertaining and educational, designed to give you the chance to try something new, step out of your daily routine, or just get out of the house! Check out the list below and plan to attend one or all. Brews will be hosting Table Top Games for adults and screenings of TedTalks will take place afterwards. In December, the library will host a monthly evening Branch Out Book Club that features a different genre each month. Patrons in need of a little training on their tablet/smart phone/computer will have a chance to make an appointment with one of our librarians during our weekly Tech Empower Hour. In addition, we will also host our fall Documentary Film Festival and winter Foreign Film Festi-
val. If you need a little more incentive to visit the library this winter, you’ll be entered into a drawing for an e-Reader, each time you attend a program or fill out a short book review, between December 12015 and March 8, 2016. Remember, the library’s ongoing programs will continue. Those programs include weekly preschool story times at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and 10:30 a.m. on Wednesdays and monthly First Friday Book Club at 10:30 a.m. on the first Fridays, plus Lego Club at 3:30 p.m. on the third Thursdays and bi-monthly Alpha Geek for teens and tweens at 3:30 p.m. on the first and third Fridays.

Last week, Gina Galina crocheted a spiderweb and ghosts for New Orleans Hotel & Spa. The spiderweb is about two stories high and completely covers the hotel’s storefront. It glows in the dark. Gallina, called the Queen of Yarnology, owns The Crochet Room downtown. She has taught crochet classes at Crystal Bridges and creates custom yarn artwork.

The Natural Way
H
Fending off the Flu
ere we are in October and flu season is typically months away, but already there are fears being generated. Scary words are being televised and flu vaccine booths Jim Fain are popping up in grocery stores like weeds. No one knows what flu strain will be strongest this year so being vaccinated may be helpful for some and not others. For sure, right now is the time to begin adjusting your supplements and herbals. It’s time to ramp up the amount of Vitamin D you take daily in anticipation of winter. I personally take 6,000 iu daily. This is good to do to keep respiratory diseases at bay. When colds start to show up, flu won’t be far away; so here is a primer on natural care for these predictable nasties. First, at the first symptom of cold or flu go heavy on Monolaurin and you may stop it in its tracks so buy a bottle in advance and have it on hand. Otherwise, did you know tropical red Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) tea, traditionally used to ease indigestion, also relieves colds and respiratory trouble? Hibiscus is also a natural source of Vitamin C. This can be added to my favorites for both ailments, Elder tea straight, colds, or blended with Peppermint, flu, and is very effective and inexpensive at stopping or preventing them. I like brewing the tea in large amounts, as drinking more is the way to go. How I brew leaves, flowers and herbs like Rooibos, Green, Chamomile, Lavender, Hibiscus, Elder, Peppermint. Make as an infusion — Pour one cup boiling water over one to one and one-half tsp. of the tea. Steep 10 to 12 minutes. Strain — or use a very clean or dedicated Mr. Coffee type maker — place one oz. of herb in the basket to one full carafe of water — try a second batch with the same herb. Aromatic herbs or essential oils can ease stuffy noses and chest congestion. A fully natural approach would start early with a good strong immune booster like an immune system support based upon mushroom extracts. I’d go high value if the going gets rough. I’d then take large amounts of Monolaurin and maybe combine it with grapefruit seed extract. I’d also drink large amounts of Elder tea mixed with peppermint if I got a fever every day. I’d stay away from crowds, wash my hands a great deal, keep tissue paper around to catch sneezes and use herbal disinfectant on door handles, keyboards and telephones. Soap and water is one of the best germ killers/ disinfectant. A good night’s sleep, healthy diet, extra Vitamin C ascorbic palmitate and a good multiple vitamin goes a long way.
Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: You’re between a rock and a hard place. The seating isn’t that comfy, but the view is tremendous. Take a deep breath and enjoy the scenery before you shimmy through the cracks to escape. TAURUS: Not everyone has your incredible looks, sparkling wit and ability for self-delusion. Take pity on the little people and regale them with your supposed awesomeness. If they fall asleep during your chat, just wake them up with an elbow to the ribs. GEMINI: The road less traveled is peaceful, but there are no decent restaurants where you can buy pie. Follow the beaten path for a good meal, and save the wild roaming until you’re ready to live on granola bars and turkey jerky. CANCER: You have the opportunity to make someone’s day. Do it with jazz hands and fabulousness instead of straight-on, Clint Eastwood style. If you can manage Eastwood jazz hands, give that a try, too. LEO: Life is a garden, so stop and smell the flowers instead of kicking dirt over the zinnias. Not everything can come up roses but the wild blooms are just as sweet, as long as you don’t eat them. VIRGO: On Tuesday you’ll see a man about a ferret. Make him your friend, because the ferret has better health insurance and 401K than you do, thanks to his cute YouTube channel. LIBRA: You want to shine brightly into the world, but somehow you just can’t switch it on. Check your batteries; you may have them installed backward or your contacts could be rusty. Have someone tug on your rear coil and see if that does the trick. SCORPIO: The right words come at the wrong time on Friday, so instead of impressing that hottie, you’ll probably just creep them out. Next time, write your pick-up lines before you order tequila.

Unless, of course, giving up means more money in your paycheck. It’s fine to have lofty goals but it’s even better to keep the lights on and the fridge going.
