The Doctor Is In:

Sean-Paul Cuts Through Baker Legend By Jennifer Jackson

JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com

In the 1930s, Norman Baker operated a spurious cancer hospital in the Crescent Hotel. Few of his patients survived the treatments, which consisted of injections of acids and other poisons. After they died, Baker performed autopsies in the morgue he created in the hotel basement. On Halloween night, Sean-Paul will replicate Norman Baker’s autopsies, with one difference -- he’ll be practicing psychic surgery on a patient who is still alive. “I’m going to pull out all his organs,” Sean-Paul said. Sean Paul is an illusionist who, with partner Juliane Fay, has performed all over the country, including Las Vegas. For the past three years, they have preferred to stage their own Victorian-themed show, Intrigue Theater, in the Gavioli Chapel in Eureka Springs. For the past two Halloweens, Sean Paul has staged a Houdini-type escape in public. In 2012, he escaped from chains and a straitjacket while suspended upside down by a rope from the roof of the Crescent Hotel. Last year, he performed Houdini’s escape from a milk can in Basin Park. Sean-Paul and Juliane also do a special show on Halloween in the Crescent Hotel Ballroom. Last year, they channeled the spirit of Alvah Jackson, the doctor who founded Eureka Springs. For this year’s show, Sean-Paul will don a purple lab coat -- purple was Baker’s favorite color -- to perform psychic surgery, removing cancerous tumors from a volunteer. Sean-Paul said he has been practicing the operation, successfully removing cancerous tumors from a volunteer subject twice. “The guy is 10 pounds lighter,” Sean-Paul said. “He loves it. The cancer is completely gone.” Sean-Paul does have surgical experience -- he has been sawing people in half since he was in high school in Minnesota. He started taking magic lessons at age 8, and by age 11, was performing at fairs. As a teenager, he was booked for banquets, parties and company picnics.

Since teaming up, Sean-Paul and Juliane, who are married, have performed at major entertainment venues across the country and done all the big stage illusions, including making a stealth bomber disappear on stage. Juliane has also entered a cage of wild animals and turned into a white tiger. Last year, for a Civil War-themed act, Sean-Paul cut Juliane in half with a Civil War sword and had volunteers from the audience, representing the Union and Confederate forces, separate the parts, demonstrating the split in the country. In addition to performing psychic surgery at this year’s Halloween show, Sean-Paul will give a demonstration of hypno-amnesia, a method actually used in hospitals. Sitting in a dentist chair, Sean-Paul will put himself in a trance and slow his heart while Juliane applies an animal trap to his hand to demonstrate that he has switched off the ability to feel pain. Juliane will also conduct a seance, attempting to contact patients who died at Baker’s hospital and are said to haunt its halls. Wearing the purple lab coat, Sean-Paul will delve into a black doctor’s bag filled with potions and powders, one of five doctor’s bags he has in his collection. “They are intriguing,” he said. “No two are the same.” The couple’s Halloween shows at the Crescent are always sold out, he said. This year, three times the number of tickets have been sold compared with this time last year, including all the premium tickets. The show is performed in the hotel’s Crystal Ballroom on a raised stage, with 200 chairs placed in a horseshoe around it. There are no bad seats in the house, Sean-Paul said. “It’s going to be a fun night,” he said. To accommodate more people next year, Sean Paul and Juliane have booked the Auditorium for the 2015 Halloween show. Their last Intrigue Theater of 2014 is Saturday, Nov. 1. The show returns next May. Intrigue Theater is located in the Gavioli Chapel, 80 Mountain St., Eureka Springs. The Halloween show at the Crescent Hotel starts at 9 p.m. For information and tickets, go to IntrigueTheater.com.

Local island luncheon By Diane Newcomb Thanks to the Eagle Scout project of Nicolas Walker, eight ladies enjoyed a delightful French picnic in white on the new deck of Lake Leatherwood’s Bird Island. With the support of fellow members of local Boy Scout Troop 67, Walker painstakingly, and not without contracting a poison ivy rash, cleared and developed a sizable portion of the small island

to include a camping site, dining site and latrine. All were done very well, with a wooden platform for the tent, a new picnic table, fire ring and kitty litter latrine on its own small deck. The site is perfect for private camping or an afternoon picnic by boat. The ladies, who gather monthly for a culturally inspired dinner, chose the island for their French-themed picnic, ferrying their members across by rowboat.

U.S. Rep. Steve Womack, along with members of his staff, met with city leaders at the 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa last week to discuss issues unique to Eureka Springs. The discussion focused on four key issues: plans for the old high school site, the proposed hospital, SWEPCO and the parks department’s master trails plan. The first topic was how to best utilize the site known as the “old high school,” a seven-acre tract at the the junction of three byways in the heart of the city. “It’s a hell of a location – a strategic location that cannot be duplicated,” Womack said. “Eureka Springs gets one chance to make something historic in this unique property.” Describing the property as priceless, Womack said, “I would measure twice and cut once – sell the people; this is a once-in-alifetime opportunity” He suggested a three-step approach to funding: create a master plan similar to the parks department’s master trails plan; sell the citizens on the importance of this site as a historic community center, search for funding or build the case for a bond issue. Womack said there is an appetite in cities for taxes used to build projects like this, and that he is chagrinned when he sees cities miss opportunities like this. He offered to help with strategic planning as the city moves forward. “Representative Womack has many tools available to him that can benefit our community and it’s contingent upon us to ask for his assistance to grow,” CAPC Director Mike Maloney said. “I think his past experience as a regional mayor gives him firsthand knowledge of the problems associated within a community, and I believe that his interest in Eureka Springs was piqued – this can only be construed as positive.” Chris Bariola, CEO of Eureka Springs Hospital, detailed the steps taken by Allegiance Health Management to build a new hospital in Eureka Springs. He described the Eureka Springs Hospital as a critical-access hospital that sees about 3,500 ER patients

U.S. Rep. Steve Womack visited the Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow last Wednesday on his trip through Eureka Springs. He took a tour of the Colony and learned about its history and its present role in the community.

yearly, with one in four patients listed as trauma and 75 percent of patients on Medicare. Allegiance, Bariola said, is a small corporation, and it worries about the cost of the infrastructure needed for the proposed site on Highway 62 west of town. Alderman David Mitchell said the city council has drafted a resolution to pay for the needed sewer lines. Womack voiced concerns about having a hospital that’s 75 percent reliant on Medicare in light of all the recent changes to healthcare in the country. He did promise an open line of communication to help wherever he can. On the topic of SWEPCO, after an explanation of why many in the area are opposed to constructing a high-voltage transmission line through the heart of the Ozarks was presented, Womack’s comments were less optimistic. “We need help with direction,” Glen Crenshaw said. “It seems the cards are stacked against us.” “It’s up to the Public Service Commission to assess need,” said Womack. “SWEPCO can out-lawyer you.” Bill Featherstone, chairman of the Eureka Springs Parks and Trails Commission, described the ongoing progress of the Master Trails plan and noted that the city parks department takes care of 1,800 acres and that work on the master trails plan has been

mostly volunteer, so far. “We want a trail system that becomes a destination point,” Featherstone said. “Go to the governor, get some leveraged money,” Womack said. “Get prisoners to save on labor; get the Boy Scouts – you have to get aggressive.” After the meeting, Womack stayed to visit and answer questions. “We were pleased that Congressman Womack came to Eureka Springs to discuss important projects and issues that will affect the future of our community,” said Jack Moyer, vice president and general manager of the 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa. “He was very engaged, gave our community leaders good advice and left with many notes.” “I thought Congressman Womack was very focused on what was going on, in and around Eureka Springs – he appeared to be sincere in wanting to assist Eureka in its needs,” said Butch Berry, who is running unopposed for mayor in the November general election. “I’m looking forward to working with them on acquiring assistance from the federal and state government in helping us in upgrading our infrastructure.” “There will be one million people added to the Interstate 49 corridor — that’s twice the current population. Where will they come to get away?” said Womack. “The answer is here. Take care of that community center property.”

A conversation with Butch Berry

By David Blankenship

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Longtime resident, architect, city leader and Eureka Springs advocate Butch Berry, who is running unopposed for mayor in the Nov. 4 election, took the time to sit down with the Citizen for an interview about who he is and what he hopes to do as mayor. Berry, along with his dogs Zack and Zora, had this to say: Tell the readers about yourself and how you got into politics. My involvement in city government began when I was asked to be on the planning commission by Mayor Fred Naff when I was during my last semester of college in 1973. At the time, I was moving to Eureka to take care of my grandmother who raised me. She was 86 years old. I was on the the planning commission for about eight years. I learned a lot about city government and city planning in that time. That was right at the time when Eureka was just establishing zoning and planning. In fact, I helped survey downtown for the Historic District to be able to get it on the National Register, and to help establish the Historic District Commission. Each time I got involved with government, I learned a little bit more about it. I left and went to Little Rock, and my last job there was as executive director of the Capitol Zoning District Commission, which was a combination of a planning commission and historic district commission around the Governor’s Mansion and the state Capitol. We had jurisdiction over, literally, all new construction, signs – anything that went on in that area had to come before my commission to get approval. When I moved back up to Eureka in 1996, I was on the planning commission again. I served there until about 1998 or ’99 until I decided to run for city council. And, I discovered moving from the planning commission to city council was like moving from elementary school to high school – it’s a whole new ballgame. It took a year or two to get acclimated to being on the council — how the budget works, how the city council actually

works and how the city operates. I spent four terms on city council, and last term I elected to run for state representative. I lost to our current representative. So, what I’m looking forward to as mayor is that it will be exciting. It’s like going from high school into college, because I know I’m going to be exposed to a whole new set of problems that we’re going to have to work on solutions. What do you want to accomplish as mayor? One of the things I’d like to see, one of the things we haven’t done in years, which is to see the planning commission and the city council involved in updating our master plan. We’re still operating on an old master plan in the planning commission, which was a good plan, but it’s time to see it updated. We need to re-evaluate our plan, see what our values are and see if we need to change some of our concepts in there. One of the big things, and something probably every mayor for the last 10 years or longer have wanted to do, is try to get our infrastructure updated – get our water and sewage established going out west and east where we’re lacking water and sewage. We’ve been promising people for years to have that done. We have a good opportunity with the hospital, if we can work with them and help them get our sewer lines out there toward the west. I’ve been talking with several of the state legislators and our congressman to help get the money to extend the sewer out there, and there’s a good chance that we may be successful, so we don’t have to float a bond issue. Those are items I’d like to see started. As time goes on there will be new issues we’ll have to pay attention to. What do you love about living in Eureka Springs? I love Eureka Springs because of the community. We have a very diverse community, but I think that’s what makes it so wonderful to live here. We have a great environment here that we’re all concerned with protecting and enhancing. It’s pretty nice to be able to walk down the street and

to know your neighbors. When I lived in Little Rock, and I was down there about 15 years, I lived in a nice neighborhood, but I only knew the neighbors on either side of me. I didn’t even know the neighbors across the street. Here in Eureka, we get to know everybody, and that’s a benefit to living in a small town. When we need help, the whole community pitches in to help. We may have our differences, but that’s like a large, extended family. Sometimes brothers and sisters don’t see eye-to-eye, but we still love each other. What do you do for fun? I like to go outdoors – camping, fishing, canoeing. We’re so blessed to able to live around this area with such wonderful outdoor recreational opportunities. Last weekend, I went canoeing down War Eagle Creek with a group of friends. During the week, and I was really jealous, I had friends go float the Buffalo River, but in a couple weeks I’m going with friends canoeing in Missouri. Next weekend, I’m

going elk hunting at my cousin’s place, but I’ll probably be more of a camp-dog, and not do too much hunting – it’s just being outside. What else do you want to tell folks about yourself? I have a wonderful wife, Lynn Berry. She is the director of communications at the Branson/Lakes Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. Lynn is from Fort Worth and moved up here in the ’80s for a while and back again in the late ’90s. She was our CAPC director for a time before she went up to Branson. I couldn’t go into this position without her support. I also have a great stepdaughter in Oklahoma City, plus three dogs and two cats. I think together with Lynn, we’ll be able to bring some of the Branson people back here to Eureka Springs to stay while in the area. Eureka Springs should be the anchor city between Crystal Bridges, Branson and Buffalo River. We’re in the perfect location.

The goals of STO are for individuals affected by the proposed transmission lines to: • Participate • Educate • Advocate Become informed and learn what you can do to help at www.SaveTheOzarks.org.

GED classes offered at library By David Blankenship

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Those who want to earn a high school diploma will want to take advantage of free GED classes at the Eureka Springs Library Annex from 9 a.m. to noon on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Nancy Wood, teacher and coordinator for the program, invites anyone age 18 or older to the library annex located at 194 Spring St. in Eureka Springs to attend. Wood said the program is free to the public and classes are small. Each student gets plenty of one-on-one help and materials for self-directed learning including computers and up-to-date

study manuals from the state. “The GED test is harder than it has been in the past, and a GED preparation class is now required before taking the test,” Wood said. “An initial assessment is given when a student comes in the door, and from there we only focus on the aspects of the test needing attention.” After attending classes, students receive a significant discount on the cost of testing. ESL students are welcome as are walk-ins. Wood encourages those who lack a high school degree to come see her and open up all the options of higher level education.

Chelsea’s upsets Cathouse Chelsea’s squared off against the Cathouse recently in the thrilling 2014 Annual Battle of the Pubs Soccer match. This annual benefit game raises funds to support Eureka Springs Soccer Club. This year the game raised more than $1,100 for the youth soccer program. Each team is composed of local adults playing for one of the two pubs. This year, the game proved to be very exciting as the Cathouse team took an early 3-0 lead. However, the Chelsea soccer team was too proud to give up and came back to tie the game and eventually win in the final minutes 4-3. Last year’s funds were used to build a backstop net that keeps soccer balls from rolling into the parking lot. Carroll Electric provided poles, labor, and hardware at no cost for this project.

Guest Editorial After all, we’re not savages

hat do Boulder, Colo.; Stamford, Conn.; Santa Ana, Calif.; and Green Bay, Wis., have in common? They’ve all banned animal circuses as nearly 50 other cities in 21 U.S. states have done. Our House of Representatives is currently deliberating the Traveling Exotic Animal Protection Act (HR4525) that, if passed, could eliminate traveling animal circuses. The movement is spreading not only all over the country, but also all over the world; 27 countries have full or partial bans as well. Of course circus spin-doctors will steadfastly maintain the animals are treated with kindness: They consider USDA violation reports and settlement agreements, scientific reports about the effects of daily travel on wild animals and undercover videos “unfortunate” anomalies. But the public is educated. The public is increasingly aware. The public is outraged. Modern circuses aren’t too unlike the bloodbaths in the Roman Colosseum; wild animals were starved and poked and prodded with sticks in order to agitate them to perform. Although there is no fight to the death, the animals are still subjected to barbaric training methods and enslavement; and when circus

By Rachel Brix

animals escape, which happens often, injury, bloodshed and even death are often the result. Passing an ordinance that bans animal circuses in Eureka Springs serves many purposes. We can make good on our City Code 6.04.05, which strictly prohibits animal abuse and inhumane treatment. We can lend suffering animals a voice as so many other compassionate cities and countries have done. We can support a healthier relationship with nature: Circuses present a distorted image of wildlife and incite mockery rather than cultivate respect. We can be proud to be the first town in Arkansas to ban circuses with animals and lead the way for others. Irrefutable evidence of the public safety risks, cruel confinement and violent training methods is persuading legislative bodies all over the world to say “No” to the circus: not just one video or one incident. Although the animals enslaved and tortured in circuses today may not see the fruits of the worldwide effort, many animals will be saved from this fate in the future. We consider ourselves civilized, but Gandhi makes us wonder: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

he Carson & Barnes Circus Company is a family-friendly business. Our lifelong experience working with and caring for exotic and domestic animals ensures our animals are provided quality care that is enriching, healthy and comfortable. As an experienced and proud advocate of animal welfare Carson & Barnes Circus recognizes the great responsibility we have to these majestic animals. Our animals receive the best of care. They are an integral part of our family. We have devoted our lives to living with, working with and caring for our animals. We feel blessed to be entrusted with such an honor to care for and love amazing

creatures for all ages to enjoy. Their natural habitat, that is known as the wild, is being quickly destroyed and unfortunately every year more and more animals are being added to the endangered species list. Not only are animals dying off due to lack of natural habitat areas but also thousands of animals a year are being poached for their: skins, ivory and just for the thrill of the hunt. Our animals here at the Carson & Barnes Circus are ambassadors for their species around the world and are being used to educate thousands of people a year as we travel all over the United See Circus, page 23

Citizen of the Week Jacob George was born on April 12, 1982 and passed away on Sept. 17, 2014. Jacob served three tours as a U.S. Army special operations combat engineer. He had a soldier’s heart, and was outspoken about the blind spot in the treatment of veterans. Much of his life as a veteran was focused on drawing attention to how society might alter its treatment of returning warriors. He rode his bike across the country raising awareness of the cost of war and to bring it to an end. “Don’t thank me for what I’ve done,” Jacob sings in “Support The Troops”. Instead, he suggests that troops “need treatment and jobs, and

love for the soul.” Before his departure, Jacob created CDs with his popular songs of peace and justice and a website: OperationAwareness.org

Gwen and Tony Workman sorted, organized and sold $847 worth of books at $1 and $.25 each — that’s a lot of merchandise! We appreciate them so much, and thought everyone would like to know about the gift they gave our community. Please thank them if you see them?

Moyer endorses Hutchinson

As a continued supporter of President Barack Obama, I will surprise some as I announce my support of Mr. Asa Hutchinson for Governor of Arkansas. Leaning left socially, my decision has obvious conflicts. With that said, local issues in this governor’s race are significant and made the difference in my decision. Here is a summary of my review: Local school funding: Mr. Hutchinson supports local tax collections (the URT) staying local. For our school district that means that over $700,000 per year would stay in Eureka Springs to fund operations and facilities. Candidate Ross, as noted in a Hot Springs forum, would be in favor of Eureka Springs and similar districts sending these collections back to the state. Tourism as an industry: Being from Northwest Arkansas and having been to Eureka Springs many times, I believed Mr. Hutchinson to be a supporter of tourism similar to former Gov. Huckabee. This was confirmed when he attended the Governor’s Conference on Tourism, spoke at the Arkansas Hospitality Association and responded to my request

The Word on the Street: Folk Artist Signs Messages

FLU SHOTS

By Jennifer Jackson

JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com

When she was 21, Regina Smith went to New York City with artist Robin Van Arsdol. For the next five years, they painted more than 5,000 murals on the sides of buildings and other structures. Sometimes they had permission. Sometimes they did not. One of their renegade efforts cost them $1,000. “It was one huge fine,” Smith said. “We shouldn’t have done it.” Smith’s art now appears on the streets of Eureka Springs in the form of folk art signs that appear on stone steps, outside of businesses and at the end of driveways. The message: “I put peace and love on the wood,” she said. “I’ve put more than 400 on the streets of Eureka Springs.” Smith grew up in Mount Dora, Fla., north of Orlando. Her mother, a seamstress who made costumes, props and sets, introduced her to the theater. In 1980, Smith met Van Arsdol in Orlando. They owned The Warehouse Gallery, where Smith staged exhibits, organized shows and put on concerts that promoted local bands, including punk rock bands. In 1982, she and Van Arsdol, who became a major name in the Street Art Movement in this country and Europe, painted murals on the streets of New York, working at night to create art that made a social statement. “I believe in free public art,” Smith said. Smith also made large plexiglass sculptures and wall art from waste glass in Orlando, where she was the art editor of “Tabula Rosa Magazine.” She also coordinated folk art exhibits and festivals in Florida, helped start a cooperative art gallery showcasing regional artists, and put on art-car workshops. Her first art car was named “Mom’s Clutter Heap.” She also created “The Seabaru” and “The Driftwoody,” an ‘89 Capri station wagon covered with shells and driftwood. “It caught on fire and I had to leave it in Georgia,” she said.. Smith’s resume includes working as a lithographer’s assistant for pop artist James

Rizzi, and as an interior designer for artist Sam Butcher. Assignments included Butcher’s hotel in Carthage, Mo., and his designer-showcase home, which had 12 bedrooms, each with a different motif. Liking her work, Butcher offered Smith, who was in the middle of a divorce, a full-time job. “It was good timing,” she said of the job, which she did for a year. “He was very supportive of me as an artist.” Smith first came to Eureka in 2007, when the art scene was really going on, she said. She moved here in 2008 with her twin daughters. Last July, Smith took over directing the Fourth of July parade at the last minute, and this fall, is managing several political campaigns. Smith also worked for the Lovely County Citizen, after she arrived in town, exhibiting her mobiles, made of driftwood, glass and feathers, on the porch of the White Street office. For her paintings, she uses thrift-store canvases, kitchen drawers and whatever comes to hand. Motifs include butterflies, dragonflies, sailboats — things that fly away — and fish.

“I’m a Pisces,” she said. “I do the fish over and over. Repetitive images are never the same.” Four years ago, Smith started Designs by Regina, making hats with dreadlocks she calls “Threadies,” which she sells at craft fairs and at Granny’s Shop on Spring Street. Smith also makes scarves, and takes old sweaters and adds yarn accents and hems to create funky fashion. For her folk-art signs, Smith paints on small pieces of scrap cedar that a friend gave her. She passed on the larger cedar pieces to artist Robert Norman. Smith numbers her street art, which is how she knows how many she has made. Sometimes people take them, she said, which is all right with her, because it’s not about holding onto things. It’s about reminding people what’s important in life. Judging from the comments she gets, it’s working. “People tell me they were in a bad mood, but when they walked by one of the love signs, their whole altitude changed,” she said.

These photos show the cat room at the Good Shepherd Humane Society animal shelter before and after volunteers worked to make the shelter safer from wildfire as part of the Arkansas Firewise Communities program.

Good Shepherd animal shelter becomes Firewise The Good Shepherd Humane Society animal shelter on Highway 62 East in Eureka Springs took a big step in fire safety last month. The shelter elected to take part in the Arkansas Firewise Communities program. The Firewise program is geared toward protection from wildfire by teaching property owners how to recognize and clear flammable hazards around their homes and businesses. Cleaning a defensible perimeter around structures can substantially decrease the threat of a raging woods fire. The Arkansas Firewise Communities program is under the auspices of the Arkansas Forestry Commission and supported locally by Eureka Springs Fire & EMS. The plan of action started with a walkthrough of the property at the Good Shep-

herd animal shelter. Fire Marshal Jimmy Kelley pointed out several hazards. Tree limbs hung over walls and roofs. Leaves and flammable debris had blown into cages and up against walls. Live and dead forest growth was within inches of wooden walls. Another important issue soon surfaced; the road into the shelter was one lane with no turnaround or access for fire equipment. On Saturday, Sept. 13, volunteers from the animal shelter, fire department and forestry along with trustees from the county jail tackled the thick vegetation. Five hours were spent hacking, cutting and raking. A bulldozer from the Arkansas Forestry Commission built a dirt turnaround and created access points on the narrow wooded road. The shelter cats watched with

interest as the vista outside their room opened up. Dogs barked at the unexpected noise and wagged their tails at the entertainment of the sweating humans. The work was completed in the early afternoon. The day had begun with the Firewise Hazard Assessment Form listing the shelter as having a “High Hazard” danger rating. The Saturday ended with a substantially reduced risk of wildfire damage and better emergency vehicle access. Any project of this size goes better with assistance. In a news release, the Eureka Springs Fire & EMS Department gratefully acknowledge the help of the following people: Good Shepherd Humane Society volunteers Lin Densmore, Debbie Clark, Angelioue Hurst and Janice Durban; Arkan-

If you’re like me, your writing time is often crammed in among a million other tasks. No wonder what we produce is about as inspired as a grocery list. In her workshop, The Way of Story, the Craft and Soul of Writing, (coming to Eureka on Nov. 1) international teacher Catherine Ann Jones shows us how we must reach deeper into our own souls before we can write the story that is ours to write. The following exercise is one of many that Catherine Ann suggests to still us and connect us with our deeper creativity.

The Natural Way Staying healthy during flu season

ere we are in October and flu season is typically months away, but already there are Jim Fain fears being generated. Scary words are being televised and flu vaccine booths 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/ day. 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 them in their tracks, so buy a bottle in advance and have it on hand. Also, 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 fever) and is very effective at stopping or preventing the colds and flu. Cheap, too! I like brewing the tea in large amounts, as drinking more is the way to go. Here’s how I brew leaves, flowers and herbs: (Rooibos, Green, Chamomile, Lavender, Hibiscus, Elder, Peppermint etc). Make as an infusion — Pour 1 cup boiling water over 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. of the tea. Steep 10 - 12 minutes. Strain, or use a very clean or dedicated Mr. Coffee type coffee maker – place 1 ounce of herb in the basket to a 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 (now) 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 have 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 (ascorbyl palmitate) and a good multiple vitamin goes a long way, too.

Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: You’re like Taylor Swift without a breakup; you’re feeling uninspired. On Tuesday, you’ll see yourself in a new light. A fantastic, cash-rolling, we’re-in-the-money light. Prepare those pockets for some simple melodies and heavy jingling. TAURUS: Every day is a fresh chance to completely screw something up. Call the florist now, because you’re going to need the “politician caught in the men’s bathroom” bouquet along with the industrial-size apology. GEMINI: You’re the tater tots on your sweetie’s lunchroom tray, but lately you’ve been acting like weekold mystery meat. Crisp up your edges, maybe rub a little bacon behind your ears, and you won’t be left behind. CANCER: The world’s a circus, and somewhere there’s an elephant who remembers all your bad ideas. Load up the truck with peanuts and sweet talk, because you’re going to need their approval before the weekend. It’s been too long since you visited family, anyway. LEO: Lately, you couldn’t catch a break if you covered your hands in Velcro. Hang in there, because someone’s giving you a big-ass butterfly net to get the job done. Might want to take off that Velcro first, though. VIRGO: You can bring the volcano to work, but that doesn’t mean virgins will just jump in. You’ll need another way to thin the herd, like cancelling raises. Then you’ll have the volcano all to yourself. LIBRA: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but why are you catching wild birds in the first place? Adopt one and you can teach it some dirty words. That’s far more fun. SCORPIO: You think you’re bringing sexy back, but it refuses to ride in the car with you. Drop the Axe body spray and ride around with the windows down for a while. SAGITTARIUS: That new sweetie may not be the love of your life, just the highlight of your weekend. Lower your expectations; you won’t have a

life partner just yet, but you’ll have a heck of a story. CAPRICORN: The best things in life are free, but the really cool stuff requires cash. Quit cheaping out on dates and pry open your wallet if you want to make any progress with that hottie. AQUARIUS: Life is beautiful, especially if you squint your eyes and look at it in the right light. Right now that’s good enough, you don’t need to

gaze upon it sober and in full daylight. Leave that for another time. PISCES: Going with the flow is fine, as long as you don’t suddenly find yourself circling the drain after someone flushes. If you discover yourself spinning in circles, sail out to sea, or you’ll be surfing some yellow waves. Answers on page 25

of his support. “I am very committed to supporting and promoting tourism in Arkansas. Parks and Tourism is a critical agency and I will listen to folks like you who work on the front line of tourism for suggestions as to how the department can best serve you,” Asa Hutchinson said. As positive as Mr. Hutchinson’s response, Mr. Ross’ response leaned another direction. We (Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce) invited former Rep.

States. We visit towns where children and adults would not have the opportunity to see these magnificent animals outside of books, documentaries or zoos. We feel that to truly fall in love with an animal, one must be able to see that animal up close and in person. Hopefully the children and adults that have visited our show or participated in our educational events will leave wanting to make a difference – wanting to make a change – and inspire others to join them! Carson & Barnes Circus wants to assure any patron and/or sponsor that our treatment and care for our animals is acceptable and humane. We believe this is what you will find if you visit our show and correspond with other sponsors. In regard to USDA inspections, Carson & Barnes always cooperates and takes any issue seriously.

An officer responded and found both parties to be highly intoxicated and needing no medical transport. 5:26 a.m. — A caller said she was driving near a chapel and almost ran into a white truck in the middle of the road driving erratically and asked officers to check the vehicle. Officers could not locate it. 6:01 a.m. — An employee at Best Western reported an intoxicated or sleeping

man in the cabana area. He left the premises when officers woke him. 9:11 a.m. — An officer filed a report on a one-vehicle accident. 9:26 p.m. — Officers responded to a family fight at the Crescent. The parties were separated and no charges were pressed. Oct. 19 12:52 a.m. — A traffic stop resulted in the arrest of a male subject for driving while intoxicated. 1:30 a.m. — A caller reported loud shouting and music at the Eureka Grill; the musicians agreed to keep it down when of-

Other than that, everything was fine.

come and sent an equally strong negative message. With the current attitude on tourism at the Arkansas Economic Development Commission (AEDC) for the state is defined by its director’s recent comments. “I understand the tourism industry drive here,” said Grant Tennille, executive director AEDC. “In our experience, however, the vast majority of the jobs that tourism drives are not particularly high-paying jobs. We try not to do projects with really small numbers of employees who don’t make much money.” Tennile said, “It doesn’t provide enough employment at enough wage to get us jazzed up.” Our next governor needs to help the de-

partment understand that this attitude will not be tolerated while recruiting and developing the state’s second leading employer (tourism). Regional representation: Mr. Ross is from South Arkansas. Mr. Hutchinson is from Northwest Arkansas. Over the past eight years, our state commissions and boards including the Parks and Tourism and Economic Development Commission have been removed of regional representatives from Carroll County and reduced in the Northwest section of the state. Mr. Hutchinson has made it clear that he plans to balance this obvious and unfair bias. High-voltage power lines:

With “at least two” members of the Public Service Commission to be appointed by the new governor, I just can’t believe that former Rep. Mike Ross, hired immediately after his departure from Washington to be a vice president of the Southwest Power Pool, will be impartial in his approach to the installation of a high-voltage power lines through our livelihood. The appointments of this new governor will decide this crucial issue. If truly all politics are local, then this election and the issues identified above speak volumes.

standing because we do so. If any issues are noted, they have typically been in reference to maintenance, not the treatment of our animals. We address any issue immediately. The reason inspections are conducted is the same reason they are done at any other business – to ensure that all staff are in compliance with the rules and regulations, all animals are cared for and that the interactions with the public are safe. We strive every day to meet all of our regulatory obligations. In response to your recent concerns about the animals that are traveling with us on the Carson & Barnes Circus, I would like to state the following. We take great pride in our animal family and the care that they are provided. We make sure that they receive the best care possible and have a dedicated staff that has devoted their lives to caring for these animals. Not only are our animals constantly checked by local, state and federal agencies that regulate an-

imal exhibitors, but are also checked by a local veterinarian every 30 days. Animal safety procedures and security are provided around the clock for the protection of our animals, our employees and our patrons. Carson & Barnes Circus employees respect the natural instincts of our exotic animals. Staff members are familiar with the individual personalities and temperaments of the animals. Caregivers have a mutual bond with the animals they care for that creates a lasting relationship between them that is built on trust and respect. Trainers teach routines to animals utilizing methods that are based on reward and repetition to showcase the animals’ physical abilities, beauty and their distinctive behavior. Sponsors from around the country voice their support and appreciate regarding Carson & Barnes experience,“We like to bring the circus to Newark because it’s really a family event. It’s a lot of fun for everyone,

and we’ve had nothing but positive comments over the several years we’ve done this, and we’re just happy to bring this unusual event to our area,” said Ed Ware, a member of the Kiwanis club. “It’s a great show and a great opportunity to help an organization that helps others.” Animal activist groups have targeted the circus industry and other entities who have showcased performing animals for decades. It is the animal activist goal to eliminate all connection between humans and animals. Animal activist groups will no doubt continue to distort the care and commitment we have for all of our animal performers. Rather than take what they say at face value, we invite all Eureka Springs families to come see for themselves how our animals are truly thriving at the Carson & Barnes Circus at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 5, 2014 at the Lake Leatherwood City Park.
