Star Wars costume and dance party planned for Friday By Samantha Jones CCNNews@cox-internet.com
Jeff Danos cried when he first saw the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. “I was just picturing when I was a little kid watching it, and then I was picturing being in the movie theater with my kids watching the new movie,” Danos said. “It’s going to be like you’ve just been whisked back in time.” Danos, who has worked with EZOMB, LLC to put on various zombie events in Eureka Springs, is now working with the group to host a Star Wars themed costume and dance party Friday night. Hosted by the City Auditorium, the party will be split into two events to cater to different demographics. The first half of the night will be an all-ages event, lasting from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The second half will be for adults 18 and older, and it is scheduled from 8:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. The reason for the two events, Danos said, is to reach all fans of the beloved series. “We’ve always had trouble trying to figure out whether to make events all ages or 18 and up. You have adults who didn’t want to be there with kids, and you had families who didn’t want to be there with adults who were drinking,” Danos said. The party for adults 18 and up will not differ from the first party, Danos noted, save for alcohol being served. Both parties will feature dancing, entertainment, vendors and contests. Danos said there will be a costume contest and a robot-building contest. For the latter, the winner will receive a version of the BB-8 droid featured in the upcoming film. “He looks like a ball but somehow the head stays on top of the ball. It’s the perfect prize for people who build robots,” Danos said, adding that the droid has holographic displays. Because it costs around $150, Danos said the droid was initially out of the price range for event organizers. All that changed when he spoke with Britt and Connie Evans, the owners of two restaurants in downtown Eureka Springs. They agreed to sponsor the event. “They made it possible for us to have this amazing prize for the robot-building contest. They also kicked in so we could have prizes for our costume contest,” Danos said. The entertainment, he continued, will take place throughout the night at designated times with a block of dancing at some point. Danos
described the entertainment, saying there will be a droid dance-off, a light-saber duel and other choreographed dances by Melonlight Dance Studio. One dance, Danos said, will feature Oola, a Twi’lek slave dancer. “I didn’t like the idea of them being slave dancers, so I did a little research on it and it turns out Oola hadn’t planned on being a slave either. She had been formally trained but was abducted,” Danos said. “So we thought, ‘What would a Twi’lek dancer who has been formally trained be like if she was dancing for herself?’” Along with the entertainment and dancing, Danos said vendors will be selling Star Wars-inspired items at the event. These items include light-saber goods and leather crafts, as well as blue milk. “It’s not a convention because we don’t have panels and speakers, but it’s getting pretty close. All across the board, it’s going to be everything about Star Wars,” Danos said. The night will end with an awards ceremony. This ceremony, Danos said, should mimic the end of the first Star Wars. He noted that one of the event organizers has created medals through 3D printing that resemble the medals given to characters at the end of the first film. “We’re just doing everything we can to make it on theme and to help everybody have a good time,” Danos said. Danos noted that the party wasn’t planned until after Nov. 1. Because of the short timeframe, he said he initially planned on having a much smaller affair. “It’s turned into a lot more that we originally planned. We thought we’d have a dance and a costume contest, and it kind of went from there,” Danos said. “We just started piling on more and more activities and entertainment.” The party is scheduled a week before Star Wars: The Force Awakens is slated to be released. Danos said he is excited about the release, recalling how much he enjoyed watching Star Wars when he was a child. “As a kid, I had Star Wars everything. There was the Star Wars lunchbox and the Star Wars sleeping bag. It was everything,” Danos said. Star Wars, he continued, has become an integral part of American culture. “Most kids at one point wanted to be Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader for Halloween,” Danos said. “That’s why we’re doing this.”

Dispatch Center implements emergency medical program The Carroll County Dispatch Center is implementing the Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) program, the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release. “By using the program, dispatchers are able to provide critical treatment information and instructions to callers, prior to the arrival of an ambulance and first responders,” the press release said. “The EMD program will not delay the dispatch of emergency crews. Emergency calls will still be dispatched within two minutes of the 911 call. The medical questions asked by dispatchers will occur after an ambulance or
first responder is dispatched.” According to the press release, Carroll County dispatchers received a minimum of 28 hours of training before the implementation of the EMD program. Administrators received additional training. All were required to pass rigorous testing, as well as CPR certification, before using the program, the press release said. “The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office believes the EMD program provides an extra level of vital care for our citizens during the critical time before emergency responders arrive,” the press release said.
ES students wrap gifts for Angel Tree By Samantha Jones CCNNews@cox-internet.com
When Rachal Hyatt was growing up, her mother told her Santa wouldn’t visit if she didn’t pick a tag from the Angel Tree. Hyatt, the counselor at Eureka Springs High School, is passing that lesson on to her students today. For the third consecutive year, Hyatt has asked students in the National Honor Society to help wrap presents for Angel Tree recipients in Eureka Springs. Hyatt said the Angel Tree program takes local students and their siblings in the Eureka Springs School District. This year, she distributed 130 tags at different locations in town. “We have a few left, but someone has promised to take care of any tags left over,” Hyatt said Monday afternoon. “We’ve never had a year where all our tags weren’t filled.” Senior Naomi Floyd described how personal wrapping Angel Tree presents is for her. When she was a child, Floyd said, she received presents through the program. “I remember there were a couple of years where those were the only presents we had. Coming in here and seeing all these gifts makes me think of my Christmases,” Floyd said. Being able to give back, she continued,
feels very rewarding. “It feels awesome to be able to do it. It’s a really good feeling,” Floyd said. Junior Aurora Fields agreed, explaining how important it is for children to have pleasant Christmas memories. “I know how good it feels when I wake up on Christmas morning and get to unwrap presents, so it’s a really good feeling,” Fields said. “Everyone should have that experience,” senior Sarah Andress added. Senior Reggie Sanchez noted that he and his fellow students are setting an example for younger kids to follow. Years from now, Sanchez said, the kids receiving Angel Tree gifts could be wrapping them for others. “Giving back to the community is a big thing. When we were younger, there were older kids giving back to us like this,” Sanchez said. Floyd credited the Angel Tree program with inspiring charity and kindness in the community, asking people to take part if they haven’t already. “There are families in need in our community, and this is a great anonymous way to give back to them. You can really change somebody’s life,” Floyd said. She continued, “People are good. They do good things.”

Discerning disinformation
n light of recent chaotic national and international headlines — mass shootings and rumors of wars — it’s important to know what disinformation is and how it is used in the media to accomplish a goal. Disinformation is a form of propaganda that uses carefully crafted and thinly veiled lies — sprinkled throughout a fact-based story — to manipulate the public. It’s also a form of censorship, where certain information that is true is leaked and sprinkled with enough disinformation to make the truth questionable. Over the last couple of years, national and world headlines have been littered with egregious patterns of disinformation. A mass shooting occurs. Then, ISIS or “extremists” take credit for the shooting but in an interesting turn of events, people come forward saying it’s not ISIS or the extremists as you thought. It’s an entirely different party that’s responsible. It was a crisis actor. No, it wasn’t. Yes, it was. Who’s on first? The “whodunnit” narrative has turned into one that would rival the story line of any soap opera. For those who were directly affected by the shooting, it’s a game of psychological hell and the victims are the chess pieces. Insidious? Yes. But that’s the world we live in
and learning to navigate the terrain is imperative. So, how do you tell if what you are reading is disinformation and not a fact-based news story? It’s difficult but with enough practice, it’s possiAlana Cook ble. When you read a news story, ask yourself if the subject matter could be used to serve a political agenda. One way to tell is to see if the sources who are being quoted and the information that is being presented are balanced. Are there sources from both the left and right and more importantly, is there a source that is middle-of-the-road who has nothing to gain? The next step in discerning disinformation is to ask yourself why? If it’s a breaking story, the why might not have been released yet but it should be released in the follow-up stories.

Trump reveals more of his racist opportunism. Now, he advocates letting no Muslim person enter the U.S. (including Muslim Americans who may have gone out of the country). I grew up a big fan of FDR, especially of Eleanor. However, as Trump quoted the war president to defend his racist position, FDR removed loyal Japanese Americans from their homes to internment camps, one in Arkansas. In By Order of the President, Greg Robinson, an American historian at Quebec University, says: “FDR’s writings and statements indicate that he regarded both Jews and Asians as having innate biological characteristics that made it difficult, or even impossible, for them to become fully loyal Americans.” In his writings of the 1920’s, FDR revealed his racism and prejudice against Japanese Ameri-

cans. Now, for the 2016 presidential race, Trump is playing on the fear of his mostly white, male fans to disregard our Constitution and display America’s underpinnings of racism. American foreign policy has historically been imperialistic in many countries. As Malcolm X said: “The chickens are coming home to roost.” However, ISIS is a brutal, hate-filled terrorist army determined to kill Americans and other civilian Westerners. One can just look at the videos of the young, bearded men who love their weapons and hate women to fear their warped ideology. Trump’s racism and attacks on all Muslims only plays into the hands of ISIS and its recruitment propaganda. We will never defeat ISIS by discriminating against all Muslims. — T.A. Laughlin

An Arkansas Ozarks’ Tradition: “Christmas At The Crescent” What started only as a live nativity scene some 15 years ago has grown to a multi-day, multi-event holiday festival here at Arkansas’ premier mountaintop spa resort. This year, Christmas at The Crescent will again launch the holiday season of the 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa. Between Monday, Dec. 7 and Friday, Dec. 11, Christmas guests and Eureka visitors will assemble in the Crescent Hotel’s huge, historic lobby each of these days at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. for varying holiday activities. Thursday evening will have the sounds of the season being served up as a side dish accompanying the dinner menu in the Crystal Dining Room Restaurant during the 6 p.m. hour, with dinner served from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday
night. The true highlight of the week occurs on Thursday evening when the ladies and gentlemen of the renowned Ozarks Chorale lift their voices to the lofted ceiling. This talented ensemble heralds in the holiday season with both carols and secular tunes sure to stir up memories of Christmases past. “With our hotel dressed in her holiday finery, we love to match environment with experience,” Jack Moyer, general manager and vice president of operations for the Crescent and the 1905 Basin Park Hotel said. “We hope folks will come by the droves as we ‘unroll the red and green carpeting’ of this year’s Christmas at the Crescent,” he said.

The Natural Way L-Theanine for brain health
L
-Theanine is an amino acid that I have written about from time to time. I liked Jim Fain it then; I like it even more now. You see new science was published just last month that clearly shows two new benefits for this amazingly affordable and safe supplement. But first, a short review. L-Theanine is widely found as a food additive in Japan. The Japanese have approved the use since 1964 and it is currently found in more than 50 food products including ice cream, candy, beverages and supplements. Because the Japanese have such a good medical/research system the benefits and safety of L-Theanine are well known at least over there. This includes promoting relaxation without drowsiness, improved learning and concentration, heightening mental acuity, controlling hypertension, lowering cholesterol, reducing stress and anxiety as well as reversing the negative effects of caffeine. L-Theanine is a derivative of glutamic acid, which is one of the neurotransmitters found in the brain. Dopamine is another important neurotransmitter, which increases in the brain after taking L-Theanine in just 30 minutes. GABA levels also increase in the brain, which leads to a feeling of well being. Our brain transmits four types of brain waves: Gamma, Theta, Alpha and Beta. Gamma waves are present during sound sleep and Theta during dozing or sleeping. While Beta is present during an awake excited state, Alpha waves signify an awake relaxed state. L-Theanine promotes Alpha wave generation, so you get an alert yet relaxed physical and mental condition. It does not cause drowsiness or impair motor skills and it starts working within 30 minutes with no known drug interactions. The new studies just published clearly show an improved immune response in patients who were studied. The researchers weren’t sure about the precise way in which this happens but common sense tells us our immune system works better when we have low stress. The other benefit was for women who have difficult monthlies. Science showed a clear benefit there as well. Two capsules or more of L-Theanine are safe, natural, effective and cheap. I routinely take four when I wake up at night to help go back to sleep. Like I said, I like this one even more.

TAURUS: Wanting to be secure is a sane choice, but the tinfoil hat is not. Relax, the bogeyman has problems of his own, he has no time to fulfill your paranoid fantasies.

Focus on what you can change, such as your underwear or the outcome of The Voice. LEO: You want to be Andy Griffith, but your day ends up in a Barney Fife tizzy. Learn to laugh at yourself or you’ll develop a nervous twitch and delusions of backwoods grandeur. VIRGO: Scratch off that cosmic ticket, because you won this week’s Wheel of Luck! Redeem your luck at a participating Karmic station and be glad you didn’t win the Wheel of Fish. LIBRA:Follow through on those instincts this Wednesday.

Disinformation Continued from page 6
red flag in any given situation, news, affairs of the heart, etc., she used to say in a wise Texas accent, “Oh honey. They are droppin’ red flags all over the place.” In the case of disinformation, if the story is droppin’ red flags all over the place, it’s not news, it’s propaganda. Then, ask yourself who wrote the story and who are they tied to. Do they work for a news organization that runs strictly on a blog or website that leans strongly to the left or right? The left and the right sometimes play for the same team if they have a common goal, so keep that in mind as you read. It’s all about perception and discernment. It’s important to train your mind and heart to see discern truth but not to let your mind and heart become scourged and tainted by the deception and negative gunk that you read and see. ••• Editor’s note: This is part one in a two-part column on discerning disinformation. Part two will run next week.

The Eureka Springs High School Rotary Interact Club gathers together at Santa in the Park on Saturday.
Community helps replace missing costumes for Eureka students By Samantha Jones
CCNNews@cox-internet.com
Students in the Eureka Springs High School Rotary Interact Club won’t have to worry about purchasing new costumes for the club’s holiday events this year. After the costumes were reportedly stolen in October, the club has replaced almost all of them with community donations. Joanie Kratzer, who works with the club, said donations came from the Eureka Springs Downtown Network, Holiday Island Rotary Club and students themselves. “Many of the students stepped up and got their own costumes. We have a lot of elves this year,” Kratzer said. Kratzer added that The Great Passion Play donated costumes for the three Magi, saying other community members sewed costumes to donate to the club. “We had quite an outpouring of support. It means everything,” Kratzer said. “When I opened that locker to that storage room and saw our costumes were gone, I was devastated. This is a month later and we came together and got everything together.” The costumes, she continued, will be used for the club’s Christmas Traditions celebrations. These celebrations included
the Eureka Springs Christmas Parade on Friday, as well as Santa in the Park on Saturday. The students will wear their costumes again this Saturday for the second Santa in the Park of the season. Senior Heidi Kirk thanked the community for donating the costumes. The donations, she said, helped her realize how much the community cares about its students. “I think it’s really great the community recognizes that we did have the costumes stolen and that they care enough to donate to us,” Kirk said. Senior Simon Larson agreed, describing how Rotary Interact works to help the community. “It’s a nice return,” Larson said. According to senior Corinna Campbell-Green, the donations are in the spirit of what Rotary Interact does. “It’s the slogan — Service Above Self. That’s always been important to me,” Campbell-Green said. Kirk, too, said she enjoys working to help others. “I take a lot of what I have for granted. It gives me a good feeling to go out and do something to help other people,” Kirk said.
The Eureka Springs Rotary presented their annual gifting of dictionaries to fourth-graders and thesauruses to fifth-graders last Thursday following their weekly meeting. Each book had a student’s name on the inside cover and was personally handed to each child by a Rotary member. Pictured are Bryan Pruitt, Eureka Springs Schools Superintendent, with Tiffany Cross.
