Hungry Bowls Benefit a hit By David Blankenship
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs Pottery Association, in association with the Carroll County Literacy Council, held its first “Hungry Bowls Benefit” last Thursday at the Eureka Springs Ale House and Distillery. The event was a fundraiser for three area food banks and for a weekend backpack program that furnishes nutritious food for area students who otherwise might go hungry on weekends. Ticket holders were able to choose a handthrown bowl made by the members of the Pottery Association and enjoy a bowl of soup prepared by one of 17 local restaurants. According to the Pottery Association’s Facebook page, all 300 of the $20 tickets were sold. War Eagle Camp showed up to help by donating at least 150 extra bowls to the event. They sold these bowls for anyone wishing to go home with more than one bowl. Estimates were that as many as 450 bowls were sold. Each member of the association pledged to donate 20 bowls, but all chipped in more to accommodate advance ticket sales. The gathering consumed at least 40 gallons of soup, according to Pottery Association’s Sandy Allison. “It was an enormous success,” said Susan Williams. The evening’s music was supplied by Jerry Jones, Adam Moraga, Ivan Thompson and special guests and friends. “What an amazing outpouring of Eu-

The Eureka Springs City Council voted unanimously Monday to have City Attorney Tim Weaver draft an ordinance that would ban future circuses from using live animal acts to perform in the city. Monday’s city council meeting found many people crowding the hallway outside the meeting room at the courthouse. The crowd’s cheers were audible through closed doors as each of several citizens making public comments to the mayor and council stated their objections to the circus. “As a town, we’ve said no to many things; we’ve said no to intolerance, no to fluoride, no to discrimination,” said Rachel Brix. “Let’s say no to abuse of animals in the circus. Let’s be the first city in Arkansas to say no to circuses with performing animals.” “Americans are becoming more sensitive to animal needs,” said Suzie Clippinger. “The general public is unaware of what really goes on in the circus.” Jerry Milligan of the Carson and Barnes circus is a former school superintendent who has traveled with the circus for 12 years. Milligan said he’s seen the videos of alleged animal

in court.” DeVito then made a motion to have Weaver draft an ordinance for the city prohibiting traveling circuses. Before a vote could be taken, the council had further discussion. Weaver said there could be problems with such an ordinance such as other caged animals or rodeos. Mayor Morris Pate said even dog shows could fall under the ordinance. Alderwoman Mickie Schneider asked Milligan if he had run into issues like these before. “We run into this often, but in my years with the circus, I’ve never seen an animal injured by severe treatment by handlers,” Milligan said. “We meet and follow whatever laws are present.” Schneider then asked when the animals get time for rest and relaxation. “The ideal travel length between shows is 40 to 50 miles a day,” Milligan said. “The animals get taken care of first. In the past, the elephants helped raise the circus, which was good exercise for them, but that practice has been discontinued.” The council passed the motion 5-0 to have Weaver draft an ordinance. The planned Carson and Barnes Circus performances on Nov. 5 will go on as planned.

abuse, and acknowledges there are some bad circuses, but he says Carson and Barnes is not one of them. He said one of the videos available on the Internet took four years to compile the alleged abuse on tape. “In my 12 years with Carson and Barnes, I haven’t witnessed anything like the footage being used against circuses,” Milligan said at Monday’s meeting. “I don’t believe in reincarnation, but if I did, I would want to be reincarnated as a Carson and Barnes animal.” “The videos are clear, and the elephants are chained or caged 90 percent of the time,” Michelle Greene said. “When animals are outside extreme discipline is used – it’s a horror to me.” At the end of public comments, several other items were discussed before the ordinance to ban future animal circuses in Eureka Springs came back up for discussion. Brix handed out a copy of an ordinance, similar to those of other cities that have enacted the banning of animal circuses, for consideration by the council. Alderman James DeVito asked if City Attorney Tim Weaver had read the proposed ordinance. “I’ve seen it, but it wouldn’t stand up in court,” Weaver said. “It can discourage a circus, but it won’t stand up
At Monday’s City Council meeting a proposed ordinance whose sponsor said was intended to protect the quality of Eureka Springs’ water quality was voted down by a 3-2 margin. In an ongoing effort to keep fluoride out of the Eureka Springs water system, Alderwoman Mickie Schneider introduced an ordinance requiring the Carroll-Boone Water District to list all the
ingredients of the fluoride to be added to the water system. Citing the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, Schneider sent a request to the water district asking for the specific ingredients of the fluoride additive intended for use in Eureka Springs’ water. According to the information provided by the water district and Schneider’s research, Carroll-Boone has located a source other than China to purchase
the state-mandated fluoride water additive. A 50-pound bag of fluoride from Belgium is being tested for purity at this time. Results were not available at press time. Several citizens spoke during the public comments portion of Monday’s meeting to voice their support for Schneider’s ordinance. Speakers included Darlene Schrum, Kit Sheppard, Holly Winger and Dave Spencer. See Fluoride, page 26

Lodging owners invited to CAPC workshop at Aud By David Blankenship
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The next City Advertising and Promotions Commission (CAPC) workshop will be held at 4 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 22, in the Auditorium. The workshop will be held in the Auditorium rather than the CAPC offices because of the anticipated high interest among lodging owners. The purpose of the workshop will be to discuss three online booking engines, JackRabbit Systems, Regatta Online Travel Solutions and Ares Travel. Although the three businesses have some similarities, there also are differences. The CAPC is considering working with one of the three booking services to set up one-stop online booking for Eureka Springs lodging. Commissioner Terry McClung said, “I’d like to get a better consensus from our lodging members and CAPC.” After some discussion among commissioners, CAPC Director Mike Maloney proposed to change the workshop venue to the Aud to allow more input from the lodging businesses. “Nothing would tickle me more than to fill up the the Aud,” said McClung. In other CAPC news, Maloney said an anonymous donor has provided the funds to bring Sara Sant’Ambrogio, American
cellist best known as a member of the Eroica Trio, and one of Eureka Spring’s favorite musicians, to town for a Dec.13 concert. Rick Bright, finance director for the CAPC, said August tax collections were up 1.9 percent. He said the total is in real dollars, not adjusted. Bright asked for two new signatories for the CAPC checking account. The signatories were needed because of the departure of two commissioners. McClung and Dustin Duling volunteered to take on the responsibility. Maloney, reporting on the city’s online exposure, said, “With 24,000 hits Facebook is nearly outperforming EurekaSprings.org.” Maloney also reported on the city’s prominence in a recent Feast Magazine that featured Eureka Springs. Feast Magazine is a Sunday supplement distributed in St. Louis, Kansas City and throughout the Midwest. “Feast made great PR for the city,” Maloney said. “We tried to give a ‘call to action’ in each ad with the use of the word extraordinary.” Each print ad in the magazine featured a stamp element similar a stamp of approval that used the key word – for example, extraordinary coffee, extraordinary getaway, etc.

A Gift for Theater:
Director Brings Talents to Town By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
Last Thursday, Joe Watts moved to Eureka Springs with one goal: to start a theater company. On Saturday, he held the first of two auditions for his first production, which he plans to stage during Diversity Weekend at the end of October. What Watts doesn’t have: a theater, a theater company and, as of Monday, actors to play the male roles. What he does have: experience and tenacity, coupled with the belief that God isn’t ready to bring down the curtain on his life’s work. “There’s a number of productions I have to do before I’m called up yonder,” Watts said. Watts moved to Eureka Springs sight unseen after reading about the town in “The Advocate” a few months ago. He held auditions Saturday and Sunday at the Unitarian Church for “Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays,” nine 10-minute pieces by major playwrights. Watts said he hoped to have a cast of at least three men and three women, but no men showed up at the auditions. “I’m not sure I can make it happen by Diversity Weekend,” he said of putting on the plays. “It may have to be moved to November, though.” Born and raised in Tulsa, Watts was a math whiz in high school – three weeks after he graduated, a savings and loan hired him. By the time he was in his early 20s, he was a department supervisor and the youngest officer in the American Savings and Loan Institution. He had no interest in theater, however, until he heard about an audition at Tulsa Little Theater for a musical, “Little Mary Sunshine,” and as a lark, he and two friends auditioned. All three got cast. “I played a forest ranger,” he said, breaking into a song. Looking for wider horizons, he moved to Houston when he was 25. He was so starved for theater, Watts said, he acted
in seven plays in one year while holding down a day job. “I was rehearsing one play while acting in another,” he said. “I had role after role.” He branched out into directing, writing and producing, and became the artistic director for Theatre New West. In 1983, he opened the first theater company in Houston to do gay-themed plays, called Diversity Theater. The opening production was an all-male version of Noel Coward’s “Private Lives.” “We were the darlings of the theater community,” he said. “The audience ate it up. They couldn’t get enough of it.” In 1985, he directed the first theater piece in Houston dealing with AIDS. The one-man show, “ONE,” was also the first theater benefit for the newly formed AIDS Foundation, and was named in the top 10 theater productions of the year by The Houston Post. Watts’ production of “The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told,” a comedy about Adam and Steve and a lesbian couple starting civilization, was named the best gay-themed show of 2002 in Houston. From 2004 to 2010, Watts produced and directed a number of plays about persecution that were staged at the Holocaust Museum Houston, including “Bent,” and “The Normal Heart.” In 2008, he directed “The Vagina Monologues,” with a transgender cast. Watts also staged readings of “The Normal Heart” for World AIDS Day in 2010 and 2011. “For 18 years in a row, I had a production for Gay Pride Week in Houston,” he said. In all, Watts has directed more than 60 productions, winning a number of awards, and acted in more than 75. The role he is proudest of: Michael in “The Boys in the Band,” at Baytown Little Theater. It was a role he coveted since he was in his 20s and saw the play in Boston, he said. See Director, page 19

Eureka Springs Police Chief Earl Hyatt has announced his plans to retire on Dec. 31. Hyatt said in a phone conversation with the Lovely County Citizen that he plans continue working part time and take some time off to think about what he’ll do next. He does have plans to do volunteer work with the Eureka Springs School District and with the police department. Hyatt has served as the Eureka Springs police chief for 19 years. The police chief is hired by the mayor. Butch Berry, who is running unopposed for mayor in the November general election, is expected to make the hire. Berry said he understands there are resumes to consider and that Assistant Chief Thomas Achord will also be under consideration.
“I’ll be looking for someone who has experience as with the management of a police department and a person who has been a police chief in a tourist town,” Berry said. “There will need to be some in place by Jan. 1, 2015, even if it’s on an interim basis.” www.facebook.com/lovelycountycitizen

From the Editor
I
David Blankenship
Eureka really is that great
n my earliest editorials, I alluded to how great this city is, but even I suspected I was getting way too close to being Pollyanna – way too optimistic. I expected that once the blinders were off, I’d end up seeing the same old things we all witness happening around the country. I hoped not, but experience has taught me that nothing is as good as it seems, and Eureka Springs and its people seemed to good to be true. Now, after about three months with this job, and even after seeing some truly tragic events unfold and palpable animosity among our fellow citizens, I was not too optimistic in my early assessment. This town, as I initially suspected, is America at its best. Washington should come here and take copious notes. I bet we’re so tolerant, we’d even be nice to all those politicians and bureaucrats. Here are a few of the events and conversations that happened over the last week that confirm what I’m saying is true. Culture is an essential element in a society that must be maintained for the society to prosper. Last week, Eureka Springs held the 67th Ozark Folk Festival. That’s 67 years of carefully and joyfully maintaining the culture of our region. People like Michelle McDonald made sure we know what our culture looked like in bygone days by dressing townsfolk up in the clothing of the past. Charles Ragsdell guarded our culture with the music he chose to be performed for us and maintained tradition with balls, dancing and the Queen’s Contest. His choice of music from the ’70s, gave me hope that I didn’t belong to a wasted generation. The concert on Saturday night made me feel like I belong to the tapestry of America. These people and many, many others made our folk festival, not only a fun tourist event, it kept our culture alive for another year. I saw courage this week – another essential ingredient to a healthy society. Rachel Brix and others fought their hearts out to protect circus animals. Rachel, who I had the closest contact with, fought bravely, intelligently and without outward anger. Her efforts paid off. Eureka Springs has decided
to side with the animals, and there will be no more exploitation here. To fight for what you believe in is an American ideal. Fighting to protect animals and stop cruelty is an ideal America should have always upheld. With Rachel, Michelle Green and all the other animal rights advocates we see true courage. Cooperation is vital to achieve balance and progress (there is a right and just type of progress). Over the last few weeks, our city leaders have listened to the people and are genuinely working together to keep our town growing financially through tourism. We all must realize how lucky we are to live in a town with so many life-enhancing qualities for our souls, palates, minds, body and growth as human beings. Tourism is the engine that allows this. That being said, witnessing the cordial, egoless, intelligent cooperation exemplified by the City Council, Chamber of Commerce, business leaders and the CAPC is inspiring to me. These citizens are actually working together for the town of Eureka Springs. If only Washington could do 25 percent of what I expect our leaders to accomplish, we’d be a stronger country – maybe I should revise 25 percent to 5 percent. Our country is on its way down; our city, while a bit down, is on its way to solving problems using good old American cooperation and smarts. Determination in the face of adversity is a quality that has guided successful societies throughout history. It’s weaved into our minds as one of the highest human qualities through our stories and real-life examples. All great heroes face and conquer adversity. I have been privileged to meet, if can be be so bold, the next hero to emerge form this area. Laura Ponce has faced not only adversity, but horror and tragedy. I was able to see her strength firsthand when she courageously read her statement to the murderer of her child. Then I watched her show show grace, gratitude and resilience beyond what most of us could, at the end of the plea hearing that resulted in her daughter’s killer finding out he’ll be free See Eureka, page 23
Citizen of the Week Our Citizen of the Week, Alison Taylor-Brown, was nominated by Valerie Fondetti. Alison is the director of The Village Writing School, and you probably know her for her weekly column, “Village View” found here in the Citizen. “Writing is art,” Fondetti said. “Alison contributes to the art of writing by giving writers emotional support, professional advice and encouragement.” Alison stays busy with staging educational workshops, hosting “Writer’s Night Out” on Thursdays where writers can meet other writers and authors, and talk about their craft. Taylor-Brown recently created two critique groups where writers may get support and constructive ideas from like-minded writers. She hosts the fiction critique group in Fayetteville, but there is a group dedicated to memoirs in Eureka Springs. Last Sunday, Alison, along with BraveWomen.org, hosted a domestic violence awareness presentation . Fondetti said, “Alison provided me with a non-threatening environment to develop my writing skills.” Do you know someone that deserves to be Citizen of the Week? If so, please send nominations, along with a photo and contact information to Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com.

Column was refreshing change
Take a stand against circus
This morning with coffee I read David Blankenship’s editorial titled “Old Friend Deserved More Life”. I found in it an unexpected subject for a newspaper editorial, a place usually reserved for the gnashing of teeth about the problems of politics or the personalities of a small town often at odds with itself. I was grateful to find in that short piece an unusual depth and candor rarely ventured in such a forum. I just wanted to thank you for the obvious courage you expressed in answering life’s biggest questions with vulnerability and doubt. Your words were genuine, without pretense and beautifully written. The world is filled with useless platitudes that perjure and only serve to ease the doubt that plagues the preachers who utter them. Life is filled with contradiction. We are born, and yet we die. In the examination of the unfathomable, it is best to acknowledge our limits. We are bound to come up short and perhaps the best we can do is to respect the mystery. Your willingness to honor your friend’s life by asking the hard questions is the deepest form of respect and in itself fills the void with meaning. Sincerely, Don Matt
Thank you to Mrs. Greene and also the Animal Defenders International for their letters about the Carson and Barnes Circus coming to Eureka. They oppose this and so do I. Even if this circus had not been found guilty of animal abuse, I hate to see the elephants with chains on their legs. Is this American compassion? Captive wild animals mistreated for the “entertainment” of our kids? Our mayor and city council are ignorant and cowardly. They seem to always be on the “ugly” side of history; especially our mayor who supports the SWEPCO monster. I moved to Eureka 10 years ago because of its beauty, our LGBT community, and the general atmosphere of liberalism and tolerance. What a shock to realize that some of our city council members do not support rights for LGBT people, and our clerk’s office was so out of it as to call the police when same-gender marriage was okayed. I will be at the Leatherwood Gate when this travesty comes to get their money off the backs of captive animals. I will protest their abuses in a lawful and peaceful manner. If you love animals, please join me. Trella Laughlin Eureka Springs

what to do when a smoke alarm sounds, and how to exit a smoke filled home. The department used the Safety Trailer to show common home fire hazards and escape plans. Firefighters also demonstrated gear and fire trucks to the children. Fire Marshal Jimmy Kelley coordinated the yearly event.

Let's Get Real
Norm Friar at Gallery Stroll
In celebration of Food and Wine Weekend, Eureka Thyme will highlight the cutting board art of Norm Friar. During the Second Saturday Gallery Stroll in November, Norm will explain how these beautiful boards are created. “These kitchen boards are made from locally grown ash, cherry and black walnut,” Friar said. “Dense hardwoods have smaller cell structures that reduce the ability of bacteria to thrive on them. The pieces are glued together with the best waterproof food grade glue available. “The end grain reduces wear on the board because the knife edge goes between the fibers rather than cutting them
Movie night at the Aud
The Eureka Classic Movie Association is pleased to announce its next movie, “Gone with the Wind,” which will be shown at Eureka Springs Auditorium at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 19. A 1939 classic, the movie features Vivian Leigh, Clark Gable, Leslie Howard, and Olivia de Havilland. The movie is based on Margaret Mitchell’s Pulitzer-winning novel of the same name. Tickets are $3 for adults. Children under 16 are free. The showing of this film is sponsored by Community First Bank of Eureka Springs.
off, and because the knife doesn’t do as much cutting to the board it remains sharper longer,” Friar said. “The massive thickness means that they can be resurfaced for many decades while still being robust enough for heavy-duty use. For those five reasons top chefs prefer thick end grain hardwood kitchen boards.” But, with the unique artistic design of these boards there’s a sixth reason that everybody prefers them, for their absolute depth of beauty. View these and other fine creations from 1 to 4 p.m. and again during the regularly-scheduled Stroll between 6 to 9 p.m.
Hello, my name is Betty Neal and as a candidate for the office of circuit clerk I would like to tell you why you should vote for me. First, I would do my job, that is, the whole job. I would end the arguing and excuses to the quorum court and residents of Carroll County, that are currently being made, as to why the fines, fees and restitution to victims of crimes committed against residents of Carroll County are not being collected. Currently, our present circuit clerk has repeatedly claimed that she does not have a computer program to collect the monies owed. This is inaccurate. The ciruit clerk’s office has a program that could have been used that the Arkansas Supreme Court implemented several years ago. This, like any program would require training. Additional programs are available including one called Virtual Justice that many courts in Arkansas presently use. It is the program that I currently use to make collections in District Court. I am ready to hit the ground running as circuit clerk. In Carroll County, the circuit clerk’s records for fines, fees and victim restitution have been kept manually. There is almost 3 million dollars, as was reported to the quorum court, that are uncollected, almost 2,000 pages of journals of manual record. Once I have these records computerized, the delinquent monies can then be targeted for collection. Letters can be sent to the offenders for collection. Then, by forwarding the warrants for unpaid fines to the circuit judge for a signature, the warrants can then be routed to the Sheriff’s office for collection. Tools such as license suspension can then be utilized to increase collection. This would result in victims of crime receiving restitution, increased revenues to the county and to the state judicial system. A representative from the state judicial system recently spoke before the quorum court and explained that the State would have to raise our taxes if the circuit clerks did not start doing their job and collecting the court assessed monies. I want to be your circuit clerk and collect these fines as I now collect fines in the District Court. Claims of “not being able to get blood out of a turnip” are just that, claims. Not reality. Most of the offenders come up with the money if faced with possible license suspension and jail. It is time to stop the bickering and get to work collecting the nearly 3 million dollars that are sitting out there. In this economy, Carroll County, the State of Arkansas and the victims that are owed restitution would love to see that money collected. Every statement I have made is verifiable from quorum court tapes that are made and kept by the county. I would appreciate your vote on November 4th.

Songs about family, hard times and perseverance made the cut at the Ozark Folk Festival Singer/Songwriter Contest, held Saturday in the lower level of the Auditorium. The contest, which drew an audience of 65, featured five finalists, who each had 15 minutes to sing three original songs. Dane Joneshill of Searcy, Ark., took first place. A worship pastor at Fellowship Baptist Church, Joneshilll impressed the judges and the audience with his song, “Rocky 80.” Named for his grandparents’ farm, the song described the life that Nita and Fent Dixon carved out of the Ozarks, with the refrain: “If your chance is found on rocky ground, you better take it.” Joneshill also sang “Somewhere It’s Sunny,” and a waltz, “Dance with Me.” Jane Fallon, a teacher from Brookline, N.H., took second place in the contest. Fallon sang “Blue Dress,” the backstory of a photograph she found of her mother, and “The Boy He Used to Be,” about her Uncle Shelby, who fought in WWII. Her third song, “Give Me Grace,” which she sang a cappella, was about her paternal grandfather, who in 1936 took his family and left a sharecropper’s cabin in Alicia, Ark., heading for a better life in California. The refrain: “Give me grace, Lord, to guide my way. Give me less load to carry.” Fallon, who teaches composition at South New Hampshire College, said she enters songwriting contests because she likes meeting people. She has entered contests from Florida to Hawaii, and this year, she won the Will McLean Best New Florida Song Contest and came in third in the Save the Sante Fe River contest. “Thank you for letting a Yankee crash your party,” Fallon told the audience Saturday. A tie for third place between Aaron Smith and Andrea Turner, resulted in a ‘sudden death playoff,’ as emcee Charles Ragsdell put it. Smith, a 1991 graduate of Bergman, Ark., High School, is an insurance agent in Harrison. He played “White Stone,” about the different paths his father’s life had tak-

en, along with “On the Fifth Day” and “Dear Donna.” Smith returned to play “Wartime Dream,” winning the sing-off for third place. Turner, an elementary school art teacher in Jenks, Okla., opened the Folk Festival competition with “The Shore and the Water,” then sang,”Green Stamps and Mercy,” about her mother’s meeting with her estranged father, Turner’s grandfather. For her third song, Turner sang “Move Forward in Faith,” inviting the audience to sing the response lines: “Move forward in faith” and “Faith move me forward.” For the sing-off, Turner sang a song she wrote about artist Georgia O’Keefe. In 2010, Turner took second place in the International Woody Guthrie Competition for “Family Tree,” dedicated to her great aunt. The fifth contestant, Mike Ichniowski of Fort Smith, prefaced his remarks by explaining that his parents introduced him to the three kinds of folk music in the ’60s: the story song, the song about universal feelings and the song that makes a political statement. He sang examples of all three, ending with “Woody and the Golden Towers.” “We should get up and sing about what we believe,” Ichniowski said. The contest was judged by Lori Ragsdell, Danny Cox and Jeremiah Jones, the winner of the 2013 Singer Songwriter contest. As
part of the prize, Jones performed with his band, Riverbend, in the Auditorium on Friday. Jones added a timely opening to one song, “Treasures of Love,” with the lines “It’s flooding in Eureka, and all the telephone lines are down.” Riverbend, which is based in Joplin, Mo., also played “Whipperwind,” which they recorded at Winterwood Studios, part of the contest prize. Accompanied by Larry Chapin on banjo and Craig Jones on bass, Jeremiah Jones sang a traditional country blues song, “Walk On, Boy.” Jones also sang “Be My Gypsy Queen,” which he wrote, based on a family story his grandmother told him about her great-aunt. Jones, who grew up in Pineville, Mo., said he was always warned not to go down to the river when the gypsies were camping there. The aunt did so and was never seen again. “We don’t know if she went willingly or was taken,” he said. To close the performance, Jones sang “Sound Like You,” which he entered in last year’s Songwriting Contest. The refrain: “The things I say and do, they sound like you.” “That was for the old man,” Jones said, referring to his father, who passed away in 2005.

Sheri Hanson is running for an open seat on the Carroll County Quorum Court.
Hanson seeks open Quorum Court seat
By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
Sheri Hanson not only shares a birthday with music legend Buddy Holly. She was born on the same day, in the same year, at the same hospital in Lubbock, Texas. Hanson shared that piece of trivia at a candidate meet and greet night in September. What Hanson is running for: Carroll County Quorum Court representative for District 2, one of the rural districts. Although the office is called Justice of the Peace, it’s not about marrying people. “It’s one of the most important positions because it’s how we decide how we’re going to spend our money,” Hanson said. Hanson’s father was in the Army when she was born in Lubbock. When she was 11, her parents bought a working farm in Buffalo, Mo., where they raised chickens, and had cows and horses. Hanson left when she was 17, studied communications at Eastern New Mexico University and moved to Texas, where she worked in television as a director and producer in
Dallas. Before moving to Eureka Springs, Hanson lived in the northern California town of Willits in Mendocino County, where she got interested in politics. She and Dexter Westerfield, her life/business partner of 28 years, had a wholesale business, West Coast Design Studios, designing and producing wind socks and mobiles, including spiral mobiles that have appeared in movies, museum installations and at the Academy Awards. In 2009, they moved the business to Eureka Springs near Hillspeak, and renamed it The Rainbow Makers of West Coast Design Studio. “He’s an artist and I’m an administrator,” Hanson said. Hanson is running for an open seat on the Quorum Court previously held by Tim Garrison, who was appointed to fill a vacancy, making him ineligible to run. Also running for the seat is Chuck Olson, assistant fire chief of the Grassy Knob Volunteer Fire Association. Olson, a retired systems engineer for IBM and Alltel, is See Hanson, page 23

The 16th Annual Invitational Group Theme Show at Zarks was all about eyeglasses this year. Eighteen artists picked up their favorite media and applied them to create 20 various pieces to vie for the title of Best of Show – as voted by their peers and the public. Zarks owner Sallie Overbey was honored to see such a good turnout – after the Shoe Show theme was such a hit last year. Entries were two and three-dimensional and had to be no larger than 12” wide x 8” deep x 6” in height and had to be created specifically for the show.

Zombie Crawl and Day of the Dead Parade
Zombie makeup and fake blood will be all the rage on the evening of Saturday, Nov. 1, when Eureka Springs experiences its Third Annual Zombie Crawl and Day of the Dead Parade. A creeping parade procession of funeral hearses, doomsday vehicles, Halloween floats and post-mortem street performers will lead the hungry horde of the undead. New for this year is a very special Zombie flash mob performance coordinated by Melonlight Dance Studio. The event is free, and locals and visitors alike are invited to dress up and join the procession of undead. Brains and fake blood not your thing? Cruise the parade in your ghastly “grim ride,” build a freaky Halloween float, or perform a scary street act! Zombies and parade participants are asked to each bring two (or more) cans of food to benefit the Flint Street Food Bank. Participants will meet by 5:30 p.m. at the Carnegie Public Library at 194 Spring Street. Vehicles and floats will line up at the bottom of Hillside Avenue. The crawl/parade starts at 6:30 p.m., and ends when the horde reaches Basin Spring Park. Zombies are then invited to shuffle up to Melonlight Dance Studio for the official Dance of the Dead after-party, starting at 8 p.m. Hosted by Melonlight in its new lo-
cation at 121 E Van Buren, located in the Quarter Shopping Center on Highway 62 next to Harts Grocery Store. The after-party will feature the eerie electronic mashups and monsterrific mixes of DJ Testube. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The party ends at 10 p.m. Don’t be caught dead somewhere else. Visit www.Ezomb. com for more info.

William Alexander Bezjian was born in 1936 to Puzant “Peter” Bezjian and Kathryn Harriet Thetford in Chicago, Ill. William departed this life Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2014, in Fayetteville, Ark., at the age of 78 years. The family moved to Eureka Springs in 1952. Bill completed courses and training on Aug. 8, 1953, at the United States Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, Illinois. He served aboard the USS Watts from 1956 until his honorable discharge in November 1958. He started his career in the road building industry working for Barber Green Company, Aurora, Illinois, Ingersol Rand, Fortress Allott, Cedar Rapids and retired from Roadtec Industries as regional sales manager for the northwestern states in 2007. On July 7, 1956, William was united in marriage with “Mil” Mildred (Colvin) Bezjian, who survives him of the home. He is also survived by son, W. Michael Bezjian and wife Rhonda of Bella Vista, Ark.; three daughters, Janine Bezjian-Budden and husband Dennis of Bothell, Wash., Michele Cyrus and husband Chris of Seattle, Wash. and Melinda Morrell and husband David of Eureka Springs; two grandsons, Andrew Newman and Kyle Brice; two granddaughters, Makala Morrell and Sydney Morrell; one sister, Sherry Clouser and husband

“I had a conversation with God that some day I’ve got to do that part,” he said. “I did it when I was 42, but I looked 32.” In 2012, Watts left Houston to move to Dallas, where he directed “Men on the Verge of a His-panic Breakdown” at Teatro Dallas. He moved to Eureka because he wanted a slower lifestyle, he said, and because he felt he could make a difference here. “I’m here to bring quality theater to this unique and wonderful town,” Watts said. Watts is planning to produce plays in Eureka on a range of subjects, he said, including religion, and is looking at the

He is looking for a space to perform in Eureka, preferably one that seats no more than 100 people, and is holding a contest to name the theater company. That the company will come into being is not a question in Watts’ mind. “A friend once described me as relentless,” Watts said. “He said, ‘If you want it to happen, it will happen.’” Or as he puts it: “God ain’t finished with me yet.” Joe Watts is looking for people who are interested in auditioning for “Standing on Ceremony” and future productions.

Find Your Next Story in the Plottomatic
T
here are many reasons to write a short story, whether you’re an established writer or a beginner. Not only are short stories a great way to get published and enhance your writer’s resume, but those of us at work on giant canvases of novels or series of novels can use an occasional break from our obsessions. Those of us at work on memoirs can use a break from ourselves. And for beginning writers, a short story is doable and fun. But what to write? Today we will look at two methods for generating hundreds of ideas for short stories. Look Around. At the workshop at Crystal Bridges called Bridging the Visual and Literary Arts, I send the attendees into the galleries with the instructions to 1) find a piece of art that resonates with you; 2) identify the theme that you see in the piece in one word or sentence (impermanence, repression, etc.); and 3) write a short story to that theme. Your short story does not have to
be about the art. It only has to express the same theme. As much as I recommend going to Crystal Bridges as often as possible, here in Eureka we are surrounded by amazing art. It’s practically in the air. So you can use the three steps above to open up your mind and find cool ideas for stories right here. The Plottomatic. This fun method came to us from Dr. Gary Guinn, who taught a workshop on plot for us. He got it from John Dufresne at the Taos Writers Conference, and Dufresne said he was happy for anyone to teach it, share it, and use it. The method is simple. Select one choice from each column and write your story. Don’t read straight across. Mix it up. Write about a heavy equipment operator who wants to make things right before he dies and irons at 2 a.m. Now that’s a story. What makes the Plottomatic great is that it includes motivation. Never only consider the WHAT when showing the actions of your character. The WHY is critically important. So play around with these two methods that will get you writing a story you never would have come up with on your own. Writing is fun. It’s easy to be overwhelmed with getting an agent or building our platform or ferretting out that critical detail that’s missing in our research—has anyone been to a 16th-century hospital? Just asking. Anyway, there’s a lot to keep us “serious” writers serious. So, like Bob in the movie “What About Bob?” let’s take a vacation from our problems and remind ourselves how vast and deep the ocean of story really is and how much fun it is to plunge in. And if you’ve never written a story, the Plottomatic—or the art next door—is a great place to start.

The Natural Way Algal calcium has extra benefits
A
report released in Oct. 2013 from MedScape, an educational service for family Jim Fain practice doctors, affirms the safety of supplemental calcium. Two largescale studies clearly show no connection between supplementing with common calcium and heart attack in either women or men. Please feel assured and at ease with these findings. I never believed the reporting or the science that set off a scare a few years ago stating supplemental calcium could cause harm. But, some medical practitioners were uncomfortable in recommending calcium after a published study linked supplementation to an increase in heart disease. Be assured that even Dr. Oz, a cardiologist, saw the benefit of common calcium as long as it was done properly. Looks like I was in good company. An uncommon type of calcium can reduce daily dosage and increase absorption by about 65 percent thereby greatly reducing how much is traveling through your body and for how long. From across the Pacific Ocean comes a medical article that boldly says there is a change in how we should supplement with calcium. A second published article goes on to say there is a specialized calcium that increases bone mineral density, prevents fractures, appears to inhibit spinal deformity and decreases body fat content. The calcium written about is active absorbable algal calcium, aka AAAcalcium, and commercially branded as AdvaCal. This special calcium is made by heating cleaned oyster shell to 800 degrees under reduced pressure and mixing it with similarly heated seaweed (cystophyllum fusiforme). There likely is a link to the reduction of ailments due to aging (blood pressure, memory loss, hardening of the arteries, etc) by increasing the absorption of calcium. These aging effects have to do with your parathyroid gland. The dose of this special calcium taken each day is less than ordinary calcium. With this type of calcium, the added nutrients magnesium, vitamin D, K and six others in AdvaCal are not necessary for the benefit of bone building, fracture prevention, and reduction of body fat content but is a nice extra. Most people expect that vitamin D, at least, is required with calcium. This is a novel supplement that is not comparable to the ordinary products.
Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: A lot of people are in the same boat as you, but few can paddle with your swinging style. Slap that oar around and make some waves on Thursday. TAURUS: Of course you’re a special little snowflake, but that doesn’t mean much when the temperature rises. Work on your skills so you’ll have something to fall back on when your ego melts in the light of day. GEMINI: You don’t need to know all the answers, but it would help if you had one or two in your pocket. Broaden your horizons and reel in a few more facts before someone hooks you with a tough question. CANCER: Tempers flare this week at work, but don’t go off halfcocked or deliver any tongue-lashings. Both will land you in Human Resources for yet another sexual harassment workshop. LEO: No need to heat people up and bend them to your will like some sort of emotional blacksmith. Kindness and patience will make them do loop-de-loops like a crazy straw, and it will be all on their own. Or you can keep doing what you’re doing and someone will bop you with your own anvil. VIRGO: It’s fine to look on the bright side, but that nightlight may be overkill. Relax and enjoy the dark. Night has its own positive side, like the fact no one can tell you haven’t vacuumed in a few weeks. LIBRA: So you screwed up. Big deal. At least no one was hurt and it didn’t end up on YouTube or the nightly news. Next time you’ll know to use a bigger net and shorter heels. SCORPIO: You can lead a horse to water, but you won’t like the lemonade he makes. Quit hiring personal pony maids and do your own work for once. At least you’ll be drinking your own Kool-Aid for a change. SAGITTARIUS: It takes a big person to admit their mistakes, but you’re still rather small. Start by owning up to that outfit; humility

and a bit of fashion sense will come a little easier. CAPRICORN: You feel undefeatable on Wednesday, so it’s a great time to ask for a raise or bicker with your ex over when the check is due. Don’t get into an argument with your kids over My Little Pony, though, because no one can win that. AQUARIUS: The winds of change are streaming in, but it’s up to you whether the breeze fills your

sails or just blows smoke up your butt. Get into position so you’re flying across the water and not in the air like a Macy’s parade balloon.

and cultures strong. This week hundreds of generous, caring people came together at the Pottery Association’s “Hungry Bowls” event. Every single person at the event had smiles on their faces. These smiles came from doing a good thing and gaining inner joy from the experience of helping others. The love in the air was intense. One cannot buy, manufacture or fake the beauty that comes from doing the right thing. Eurekans have true generosity, and it is wonderful to behold. Through the week the tie that binds
these attributes together is love. Real love along with culture, courage, cooperation, determination and generosity have convinced me that Eureka Springs can do more good in a week than most places ever do. Fight the good fight along with all the great Eurekan-Americans mentioned and the multitudes of great people around here who I’ve not mentioned. There’s greatness in all of us; find yours. Eureka Springs is truly a treasure for the whole country to learn from.
Tickets go on sale Oct. 15; advance tickets are $15 and are available at both Doggie Thrift Stores and the shelter or online at www.goodsherpher-hs.org. Tickets will also be available at the door for $20.

Photos by Chip Ford
The 67th Original Ozark Folk Fest was held over the weekend and cumulated with the headliner show at the Aud on Saturday. Kicking off the evening was Kansas City native Danny Cox and his soulful selections of songs. Then came the “One Hit Over the Line” legends Brewer & Shipley. The evening wrapped up with the one and only Ozark Mountain Daredevils, who had the crowd hootin’ and hollerin’ all through their set, playing hits like their “Chicken Train.” – baagawwwwk!
