Planning commission OKs new construction at Judah Street By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
After the Eureka Springs Planning Commission’s Oct. 24 meeting, Terry McGuire is set to begin construction on a new multi-family rental and tourist lodging on Judah Street. McGuire originally presented the plan at the commission’s Oct. 10 meeting, when the commissioners asked him to return with a plan that would expand the green space. On Oct. 24, McGuire said he did just that. “We have taken out a number of parking spaces, increased the yard space and decreased the drive space,” McGuire said. City preservation officer Glenna Booth said she worked with McGuire to retool the plan, saying the original plan exceeded the required yard footage by 300 percent. The new plan, she said, exceeds that by 583 percent. “We separated the parking and increased the yard area substantially,” Booth said. “We think the increased yard will be a nice feature.” Commissioner Susan Harman asked about lighting for the project, and McGuire said there are street lights all over Judah Street. “We intend to have our own lower impact lighting for sure,” McGuire said. “In fact, as we develop this, we may ask them to take those down if the city would allow it. It’s their thing with the street, but it really is harsh light for what we see there. It would certainly be well lit.” The commission voted unanimously to approve the application. Earlier in the meeting, Jim Helwig, co-chair of the Springs Committee, presented information on low-impact development. Helwig said the committee has adopted a standard for low-impact development and hopes the planning commission would take that into consideration. “The Springs Committee and Parks and Recreation Commission recognize that the residents and the city of Eureka Springs are subject to torrential storms that produce flooding conditions, cause damage to property and infrastructure by storm water
erosion and sedimentation,” Helwig said. “These conditions have been aggravated by the runoff from streets, building, parking lots and disturbed landscapes in our steep karst environment.” The Parks and Recreation Commission endorses using low-impact development to improve stormwater management, Helwig said. The term “low-impact development,” he said, refers to systems and practices that use or mimic natural processes resulting in the infiltration, evapo-transpiration or use of stormwater in order to protect water quality and associated aquatic habitat. “Practices that have been used to adhere to these principles include bioretention facilities, rain gardens, vegetated rooftops, rain barrels and permeable pavements,” Helwig said. “A major benefit of low-impact development is reduction of storm water flooding and damage, a significant economic benefit.” Helwig asked the planning commission to endorse the concepts and methods of low-impact development as standards for new projects in the parks, saying these practices have been widely adopted in the United States and Canada. As a first step, he said, selected representatives from the parks commission and affected city departments should work together to formulate and hold a workshop on low-impact development. “The steep topography, karst hydrology and dense development of Eureka Springs pose a challenge to effective low impact development practices,” Helwig said. “We realize the challenge in Eureka Springs, as the legacy development did not have these things in mind, although the retaining walls and a large amount of stone walls in Eureka can hold water back on the slopes, which is a good thing.” He added, “We have an opportunity in the future to vastly improve our relationship with the natural environment and our management of parks and the future development of the city of Eureka Springs.” The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 14, at The Auditorium.

The Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission might be spending a little more on May Festival of the Arts in 2018. At a workshop Wednesday, Oct. 25, the commission heard from Sandy Martin, chairwoman for the Eureka Springs Arts Council, about plans for the monthlong festival in 2018. This year was a really good year for the festival, Martin said, with several interactive events being held in Basin Park and all over town. “Probably the most exciting thing is it garnered over $1 million worth of PR value,” Martin said. “That was pretty spectacular for us.” Some of the new concepts for 2018, Martin said, would create more of an “artmosphere” all month long. She explained how that would work, saying the council hopes to kick off the month with something like a street festival that wouldn’t require closing down Spring
Street. Buskers could perform on the street, Martin said, without interrupting traffic. “The concept is that it would be one of the things we wanted to do to get people to stay in town longer to visit the merchants in the galleries and the shops,” Martin said. “Hopefully, the merchants in the galleries will get involved. We want to do that on the first weekend and make it more of an artrageous street festival.” The second thing the council wants to accomplish, Martin said, is establishing a theme for each week of the month. She said the themes would be centered around art movements featuring a costume contest and other events. The costume contest would get visitors involved in the festival, Martin said, in a hands-on way. “We wanted to give each week a fresh theme so it’s a lot more interactive and a little bit more artsy all the way around,” Martin said. “We’ve got applications out
for installations and events.” One event the council is excited about, Martin continued, is the production of Valerie Hubbard Damon’s Willo Mancifoot. “It’s the world premiere of it, and it’s shaping up,” Martin said. The council is asking the commission for $25,000 this year, Martin said, with $22,000 going toward the artists and performers. The commission budgeted $15,000 for the festival last year. “We’re really pleased with the variety and type of events we were able to get last year. The artists were absolutely delightful to work with,” Martin said. “We’re asking for you to bump it up. That’ll get more for production and support the different themes.” Commissioner David Mitchell asked how the $22,000 would be spent for the artists, and Martin said that would be up to the artists. Last year, Martin said, the council spent $5,800 for Janet Alexander’s sculptures in Basin Park and $4,000 for Five & Dime Drama Collective to perform a production at The Auditorium. “It’s to produce that event or that installation,” Martin said. “It will go directly to the artists to create that event.” Chairwoman Susan Harman asked if the street performers would be open to promoting events happening in the city, and events coordinator Andy Green said that would be possible. “We could. However, I will say that with a caveat,” Green said. “Performers are performers. Once they go on, they’re out of your control. Some are better at doing things like that than others. Sometimes they remember to do it and sometimes they don’t.” The commission moved on to discuss the programming for The Auditorium in 2018, with Mitchell saying $40,000 has been allocated for that. Commissioner Dusty Duling asked if The Aud’s income would go up with increased expenses, and Green said he hopes so. When it comes to putting on a production, Green See CAPC, page 21

Fall Diversity Weekend Out in Eureka to show Netflix documentary Nov. 4 By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureak@gmail.com
This year’s Fall Diversity Weekend, slated for Nov. 3-4, is shining a light on transgender icon Marsha P. Johnson. There will be a showing of The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 4, at Upstairs at the Grotto at 39 Spring St. Produced by Netflix, the documentary has been shown at only a few events like Tribeca Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival and SXSW Film Festival. Jay Wilks, an organizer of Diversity Weekend, said he has been working with CAPC commissioner Carol Wright to bring the documentary to Eureka Springs. Wright worked with the documentary’s director, David France, to secure the showing, Wilks said, which involved sending information about Eureka Springs to Netflix. “Once Carol received the confirmation, she contacted me and in pretty much three days, we had the whole thing booked,” Wilks said. “The event has been shared and shared and shared on Facebook, and the feedback on the documentary is more positive than negative.” Many business owners in downtown Eureka Springs are excited about the showing, Wilks said. “It will bring a focus on Eureka. Right now it’s been shown at Seattle International Film Festival and Tribeca and Sundance,” Wilks said. “We’re in the top five on the showing of this, and
it’s a very big thing for Eureka Springs … not just for the LGBT community, but for the town in general.” November is Transgender Awareness Month, Wright said, and it’s important to recognize the struggles of those in the transgender community. She recalled the recent death of transgender teen Ally Steinfeld, saying Steinfeld’s murder shows our country has a long way to go when it comes to the transgender community. “The fact of the murder is pretty horrific, but adding further insult to injury, this has been deemed not a hate crime,” Wright said. “It’s pretty obvious it was, and I think it’s important for people to be informed about that for people to know there is this kind of hatred that can actually result in death.” She added, “My particular interest in this is as a mom and a human being. I think it’s an important film. There’s still a lot of controversy whether Marsha was actually murdered or not for standing up and, frankly, just living her life happily.” Since the Trump administration has taken office, Wilks said, it seems the transgender community has been persecuted more than ever. It’s time for Americans to take a stand against that, he said. “It used to be gay men were demonized. Then lesbians were demonized,” Wilks said. “Now, it’s even more horrific toward the transgender community.” More transgender people are being
2018 May Festival of the Arts calls for events, installations
The Eureka Springs Arts Council is seeking applications for art events and installations to be presented during the 2018 May Festival of the Arts. The application is open to all artists covering all arts — visual, performance, literary, culinary and more. The application and guidelines are available at http://www.eurekaspringsfestivalofthearts. com/apply/. May Festival of the Arts is a month-long festival celebrating artistic expression in Eureka Springs.

murdered than ever, Wilks said, and that includes those who commit suicide because of bullying. “There’s a mix of transgender people being murdered, but right now, it’s against people of color and the very young,” Wilks said. “If a young transgender teen commits suicide because they’re being bullied, that’s murder. It’s very important that we support the transgender community.” He added, “Here in Eureka Springs, we have local transgender businesspeople and residents. They deserve the same rights. It’s very important that the ‘T’ in ‘LGBT’ gets noticed. They’ve kind of been put on the backswing for a while. Since the current administration has come forward and targeted them, we have to back them up.” Johnson is a transgender heroine, Wright said, and she’s looking forward to sharing that story during Diversity Weekend. The “P” in Johnson’s name, Wright said, stands for “Pay it no mind.” “I think that’s really important … to be yourself,” Wright said. “It’s all about being your authentic self.” That’s a big deal, Wright said, considering the current political climate in America. Many groups are being marginalized, she said. “It’s important for those of us who feel other … people who, for whatever reason, feel that way to realize we’re kind of in the same boat,” Wright said. “But it’s a big boat. It’s the Queen Mary.
It’s not some little dinghy.” Wilks said he considers Johnson an icon of the transgender movement, saying he’s surprised at how few people know about her. “Not only was she an LGBT activist, she was a human rights activist,” Wilks said. “With her history and what she’s done, she needs to be recognized by everyone for the fight she led. She shed the blood so we can be who we are today. She’s part of history. People need to be educated about what she did and what she stood for.” Eureka Springs has been the first in the state when it comes to supporting the LGBT community, Wilks said, and he’s excited to continue that tradition with the documentary showing. “Eureka’s the first in many, many ways,” Wilks said. “This will be another way to show we are the big blue dot in the middle of the red. We’re not the Tribeca Film Festival. We’re just a little town that’s going to be showing a movie that’s already getting Oscar buzz.” Wright said she hopes to see many at the showing. “This information is important for people who maybe don’t know a lot of trans people, or a young trans person that needs to know what other people have experienced,” Wright said, “that they’re part of a community, and the community includes trans, LGBT, people of color, women and people who are thoughtful and accepting of others.”

Facts are facts
Dear Editor, Thank you for your October 26 “No apologies” response to readers who found fault with the reporting of a very unfortunate incident. Sad as it was, facts are facts, and citizens have a right to know when public officials are out of control. It’s disturbing to me that many (almost weekly) contributors to Citizen Forum
write such hateful, factually incorrect pieces. Are they competing for the spotlight, or are they simply filled with contempt for anyone who disagrees with them? Most of all, their animus seems to be directed at our president, and anyone who supports him. I was a harsh critic of President Obama. but when he deserved praise I gave it. Trump haters will never give him credit for anything he does right. They would rather see America fail than credit him for keeping his promises and putting America first. We could debate so many issues but to what end? Until we all take responsibility for our own words, how can we hope to

New perspective
Night before last while I was walking our dog, I saw a hooded figure across the road in our neighbors’ yard. We live in a rural area and rarely, if ever, see pedestrians. My first instinct was to grab my pellet gun and confront them. In my mind they were a threat. What I decided to do was to approach them from my automobile. This gave me more of a sense of security than the gun. The troubling figure was a young man suffering from an anxiety attack and was waiting for his friend to pick him up. He was more frightened of me and apologized for causing me to worry. I offered to wait with him but he said he’d be OK. I shudder to think what might have happened if I had been more paranoid and armed. — Mark Eastburn

places and things that Robert Ripley of “Ripley’s Believe it or Not” fame found interesting about Eureka Springs, and some “other” aspects of ES that he would have found interesting. For example, Norman Baker’s affinity for the color purple, the Christ of the Ozarks statue, and the fact that dinosaurs once roamed the hills of Eureka Springs. And as always, we want to thank local businesses for sponsoring our event. It takes a village, and our village blessed us abundantly! — Stephanie Stodden Museum Operations Manager

GSHS to host Bonejour Gala on Tuesday By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Good Shepherd Humane Society will have its biggest fundraiser of the year next week. The Bonejour Gala is scheduled from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7, at the Crescent Hotel. Board secretary Peaches Spiritwalker said the event will take place on the entire first floor of the hotel, with a boutique, a live auction, raffles, live music, hors d’oeuvres and desserts. “This is going to be the biggest event not only for Good Shepherd Humane Society, but it’s also one of the biggest events in Carroll County out of the year,” Spiritwalker said. “There will be a room for entertainment, and we’re going to have raffles and a live auction and two cash bars.” She added, “We’ll have live music. We might even have some songs sung in French. It’s just going to be exciting.” Thrift store manager Janet Chupp said the event is scheduled on a Tuesday for a reason. “It seems to suit most everyone in Eureka … all the local people that come to it,” Chupp said. All proceeds will go to Good Shepherd, Spiritwalker said. “It is the only no-kill shelter in Carroll County. We are a nonprofit, so every donation and every gift that’s given to us is greatly appreciated,” Spiritwalker said. “We really need all our donors, spon-
sors and volunteers to keep things going, so these animals will be able to go to a clean shelter where they’re well-fed and there’s medical treatment and a lot of compassion and affection for them.” The boutique will have brand-new clothing, Spiritwalker said, with the tags still on. “There will be shoes, accessories … everything that goes along with getting all dressed up for any event,” Spiritwalker said. Two shelter dogs will be there, she added, to liven up the mood. “They will be allowed to walk through the lobby but we will also have two dogs outside, weather permitting,” Spiritwalker said. “If not, we have a place inside, because we want to take good care of our animals.” While getting ready for the event, Spiritwalker said, she realized how much support Good Shepherd has in Carroll County. “Everything at this event is donated. We’ve just been overwhelmed with great donations for this,” Spiritwalker said. “While out asking for donations, the community expressed to me how much they were behind the shelter and how much they want to be a part of supporting it and have been more than generous with gifts and donations.” She continued, “It’s going to be a very fun event. Just come and have fun. We’re really looking forward to it.”

Medical Canna Clinic hashes out medical marijuana information with locals By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com
The Medical Canna Clinic of Springdale gave a blunt presentation on the ins and outs of medical marijuana on Tuesday, Oct, 24, at the ECHO Clinic Community Room. Dr. Dan Bell and Michelle Barnes, a scribe at the clinic, discussed the qualifying conditions, the process of getting a medical marijuana card, finding a dispensary and much more. Bell said marijuana is a natural drug that people have been using for 3,000 years. “It got a bad reputation back in the 1930s with Prohibition, and it got criminalized somehow,” he said. “It’s clear it’s still a drug. What we’re talking about now in Arkansas is using it as a medicine now that we have it legal.” Bell continued, “We’re not talking
about recreational use. We’re talking about using it as a medicine, which I think almost every American supports.” Medical marijuana can be used to treat a variety of conditions, he said. “We’re not sure it can cure disease, but it can certainly help our immune systems in some cases,” he said. “And seldom will it do harm.” As with any drug, medical marijuana can interact with other medications, Bell said, which is why it is important that a medical team of doctors and nurses be involved in picking what type patients use and researching how it could affect their other medications. While 57,000 Americans died of drug overdoses last year, he said, none of those deaths were from marijuana. “Most were from opiates,” he said. “There has never been a reported overdose from marijuana. It’s clearly a safer
drug. The addiction rate is reportedly in the 7 percent range. People can get addicted, but it’s nothing like with opiates that I have personally written prescriptions for over several years.” To obtain a medical marijuana card, Bell said patients must have one of the following 18 qualifying conditions: cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, ALS, Tourette syndrome, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, PTSD, severe arthritis, fibromyalgia or Alzheimer’s disease. He said there are also the following qualifying symptoms: cachexia (wasting syndrome), peripheral neuropathy, intractable pain (pain that does not subside after six months of treatment), severe nausea, seizures or persistent muscle spasms. “You’ll notice that some diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s, are not listed on there,” Bell said, “but if you
had one of these conditions associated with it then you could get your card and get certified.” Patients will have to have a doctor certify the condition by filling out a letter, he said. “Physicians have received the letters already,” Bell said. “It pretty much says ‘You have this condition,’ and the doctor signs the letter. That’s it. It has nothing to do with prescribing marijuana or the dosage.” Patients will then need to present or mail the certification to the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) within 30 days, he said, and pay $50 to receive a medical marijuana card, which will be valid for one year from the application date. Patients must be re-certified every year, he said. “I cannot certify you because we hope See Marijuana, page 22
CCSO catches accused Good Shepherd Thrift Store thief By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
If you steal from Good Shepherd Humane Society’s Doggie Thrift Store, you could get caught. Thrift store manager Janet Chupp reported Wednesday, Oct. 25, that a woman who allegedly had been stealing from the Berryville thrift store has been caught. Chupp said the woman would stop by the store every morning at 8 a.m., rummage through donations left overnight, take valuable items and leave trash behind. “She’d go through everything and take everything of value, put it in her car and drive away,” Chupp said. “Every morning she would stop and check, so I called the police. I can’t tell you how many police reports I’ve filed for the Berryville store.” She continued, “Finally, the sheriff came in two days ago and said, ‘We caught your 8 o’clock bandit.’ Once that news gets around Berryville, everybody’s going to realize, ‘Hey, you really do get prosecuted for doing this.’ They’ve been getting away with it for so long. Hopeful-
ly, this will cut down on it.” Also during Chupp’s report, she said the thrift stores exceeded the budget in September and have already done better than they did last year in total. “I’m pretty confident we’ll make our yearly budget. It’s looking really good for this month, and I just couldn’t imagine why we wouldn’t do well the last two months of this year,” Chupp said. The stores are now delivering furniture, Chupp said, thanks to a new employee. The employee will drive to Eureka Springs to deliver furniture, she said, so anyone interested in buying furniture at the thrift stores should keep that in mind. “It’s amazing. We’ve picked up an awful lot just in the past couple of weeks,” Chupp said. Shelter manager Sandra Mittler presented the shelter report for September, saying the shelter took in four dogs, three cats, four kittens and seven puppies in that time. The shelter adopted out nine dogs, seven kittens, two cats and one puppy, Mittler said, with two dogs being
returned to the shelter. One of the dogs was technically a transfer, Mittler said. “Since it went straight into a home, we’re going to count it as an adoption,” Mittler said. The numbers for October are looking good, she said. “October is looking better than September for adoptions,” Mittler said. She thanked the grant committee for securing a $1,000 grant through the Pet Finder Foundation, saying the shelter purchased 10 dog beds with that money. Those have already been put to use, Mittler said. “They are very nice. They get the dogs up off the concrete, which is great for the cold,” Mittler said. “It’s great for their joints, and they’re very heavy-duty and made to last.” Of the animals adopted in September, Mittler said, two were senior dogs, one was a senior cat and one was a long-term dog. “We’re always happy to see the ones that are a little older get a home,” Mittler
said. Coming up, Mittler said, the shelter will have another training session with animal trainer and behaviorist Melissa Hatfield. “The first session went really great, so we’re looking forward to having her back in November,” Mittler said. Board president Jay Fusaro presented the financial report, saying Good Shepherd was slightly below budget in September. Revenue was $1,747 below budget, Fusaro said, but thrift store sales were $1,904 better than budget. Revenues that were less than budgeted include $1,856 for grant revenue, $1,195 for miscellaneous donations, $500 for shelter improvements, $334 for out-ofstate adoptions and several other small items. Expenses that exceeded the budget include $1,000 for vet supplies, $500 for an outside contractor, $475 for vet services and $439 for vet supplies. Payroll was $793 less than the budgeted amount, See GSHS, page 22

HISID commissioners approve 2018 budget By David Frank Dempsey Lovely County Citizen
The Holiday Island Suburban Improvement District Board of Commissioners voted to accept a 2018 budget during a regular meeting Monday at the District Office. The budget includes income of $3.74 million, operation and maintenance expenses of $1.7 million, personnel expenses of $1.39 million and capital expenditures of $606,827. After some last-minute adjustments the result would be a net cash cushion of about $18,700. Last year’s cash cushion after the budget was balanced was approximately $1,000. In the first draft of the budget, capital expenditures were at an estimated $883,327. By Monday’s approval of the final draft that number was cut to $606,827, which is, according to District Manager Lawrence Blood, still better than it has been in years. “The capital expenditures numbers reflect the board’s commitment to investing back into the community,” Blood said. Alex Thurocy criticized the BOC for paying too much attention to the golf operations. Commission Chairman Dan Kees pointed out that 11 percent of assessments and 10 percent of capital expenditures were devoted to golf operations. Commissioner Linda Graves said the new golf course manager, Jon Prange, had reduced expenses by 50 percent while at the same time making significant improvements in the attractiveness of the courses. Thurocy confined his criticism to the commissioners, agreeing that Prange had done a good job with maintenance of the golf courses. In the reports section of the meeting Eric Hoyt from Beall Barclay & Co. called the one-week long 2015-2016 audit probably the smoothest in his experience and described the company’s unqualified opinion that the district had experienced a profit of $92,000 for the year. Coring samples on Stateline Road using ground-penetrating radar were found
safe to use in seven out of 20 drill sites because of danger of hitting the eightinch water lines in the remaining sites. The district is waiting for drilling of the seven sites and analysis to determine the cause of leaks. Nevertheless, the Water Department is being kept busy enough repairing known leaks, to the point that searching for new leaks will have to wait. Nov. 21 is the bid-opening day for Hawk Drive landslide repairs, possibly caused by water leaks, which is nearing completion of Federal Emergency Management Agency requirements for going forward with FEMA assistance. A little over a year ago Holiday Island had a 300-gallon fuel leak at the marina. Recently a small dripping connection leak necessitated shutting down fuel sales at the marina for the past month. This leaves open a danger that any future major leak could occur at the connection. This, according to Blood, is further evidence that the marina fuel system needs major work. Kees pointed out that fuel sales were less than reliable this year. Fuel system repairs were hoped for this year but tornado damage took precedence. In new business, commissioners looked bids from three local design builders utilizing three different siding materials for replacing the 50-year-old water-damaged siding on the Yacht Club building. The bids were for T111 siding for $28,880, Hardi Board Siding for $29,125 with longer guarantees and a 16-foot-long (fewer seams) Smart Siding Diamond Kote product with even longer guarantees for $32,375. Use of the Yacht Club as a restaurant would require an electrical system upgrade. Also roof condition, mold situation and substructure condition are still variables. No decision was taken and a special meeting on the Yacht Club is expected but the date was undecided. The next regular HISID meeting is scheduled for Nov. 27.
Chili Jacket event looking for vendors, sponsors By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Brandon Champion is new to Carroll County, but that doesn’t mean he’s waiting to join the community. Champion reported last week that he has organized a coat drive called Chili Jackets, scheduled from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 4, at Best Western Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center. The fundraiser will feature a chili cook-off, where vendors can pay $30 to enter their chili in the contest. Champion said he’s already working with local restaurants to have a presence at the event, which will benefit underprivileged children enrolled in the Eureka Springs School District. Those interested in tasting the chili, Champion said, will need to donate $15 at the door or donate a new coat. “I just want as many people as possible to come together. Eureka Springs is where I want to start, but if we exceed it, I want to branch out to Berryville and Green Forest to help as many kids as we can,” Champion said. It’s very important, Champion said, that the jackets are new. “They have to be new. I don’t want the children to feel like they’re getting secondhand stuff,” Champion said. “I just don’t want them to feel like they’re being singled out.” If everything goes as planned, Cham-
pion said, he will have 10-15 entries in the chili cook-off. The person who makes the best pot of chili, he said, will receive a chili championship belt. “All you have to do is donate $30 to the cause and just touch base with me,” Champion said. “I’ll get your name on the list. We’ll get you a little sign on your table.” Champion, who moved to Carroll County six months ago, said he organized the fundraiser because it’s the right thing to do. “I woke up one morning and felt it in my heart. I felt like God steered me toward it,” Champion said. “It’s just something I’m passionate about. I’d love for it to be a success.” This is the first time he’s organized an event like this, Champion said. “I’ve never done anything like this. I’m feeling kind of nervous, but I think how I feel in my heart … that’s going to win over my nervousness and it’s going to be a success,” Champion said. “I think we can help a lot of kids around here, and I’m ready for it.” He continued, “The price of admission is $15. You’d pay that at a nice restaurant for dinner, and you’ll be able to sample the best chili in the area. It’s a great cause. You’ll donate a jacket to a kid and maybe one day you’ll be fortunate enough to see them wearing that jacket.”
DPCC to meet Nov. 6 The Democratic Party of Carroll County will have its general membership meeting at Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center in Eureka Springs on Monday, Nov. 6. A meet and greet will begin at 6 p.m. and all are encouraged to come early to meet the newly elected Democratic election commissioner Ken Sculley. Joshua Mahony, Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Arkansas District 3, will be taking questions in a town hall format. Questions may be submitted in advance to dpcc.resources@gmail.com or dpcc.communityoutreach@gmail.com. The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. and is open to the public.

The dinner is free and open to the public. To volunteer to assist with the dinner, call 479-981-2379.

Hordes of undead descended upon downtown Eureka Springs for the sixth annual Zombie Crawl on Saturday, Oct. 28.
Christine Elwood’s take on zombie makeup includes a twisted umbilical cord. A chilling tribute to The Walking Dead might cause the faint of heart to recoil in terror.
American Legion Post 9 Commander Mike Warkentin survived a U.S. war, but he couldn’t survive the zombie apocalypse.
The Zombie Crawl wouldn’t be possible without the courageous work of local huntresses Sarah Wright, Clover Danos, Christina Danos and Kris Burks.

LOOKING BACK

The Basin Park Hotel, which is featured in our fundraiser, “Voices from Eureka’s Silent City,” was not the first grand hotel that resided at 12 Spring St. This week, we will focus on a structure in Eureka Springs that few are aware existed: The Perry House. The Perry House was built by Captain Joseph Perry, who was the son of an Englishman who had been a lifetime hotel owner. He developed hotels in Kansas, Missouri and Colorado, moving to Eureka Springs in 1879 due to failing health. When Perry regained his strength through the healing waters, he firmly resolved not to leave the life-giving springs. He purchased a lot within a hundred feet of the celebrated Basin Park for $2,500, and began construction of his hotel, which measured 56 feet by 80 feet, standing five stories tall. A room rented for $7-$12 per week, depending on the room and location. He was considered a great asset to the town because of his fine reputation throughout the West, and his Perry House, which was completed in 1881, did much for the building of the community. The Perry House was a hotel of 60 rooms, and was considered one of the most up-to-date and modern hotels of the time. One of its most distinguished guests was a flour king, who had the last name of Lamar, who, with his family, stayed at Perry House for over a year. In 1890, while Mr. Lamar was cooking for the hotel, a blaze originated in the kitchen and crossed over to the Flat Iron Building, and then traveled down to the Grand Central Hotel on Main Street. Forty-three structures in all were devoured by the flames. In 1905, another grand hotel rose from the ashes, as the Basin Park Hotel was built. — Stephanie Stodden Museum Operations Manager

Teen Summit empowers eighth-graders to live healthy lives By Kelby Newcomb
CCNNews@cox-internet.com
The annual Teen Summit taught Carroll County eighth-graders that the more they know, the more power they have over their lives. Organized by the Carroll County Hometown Health Coalition, the event gathered eighth-graders from Berryville, Eureka Springs and Green Forest into Bobcat Arena to learn how to make healthy choices, help others and have confidence in themselves. Renée Allison, chairwoman of the hometown health coalition, said the Teen Summit featured six presenters this year, including Chad Pratt of Reality Check Inc., Kristina Carnes from the Arkansas Attorney General’s office, April Perry from The Purple Flower, Cody Tatum from Grandma’s House Children’s Advocacy Center, Dave Warmoth from North Arkansas Regional Medical Center EMS and Denny Waters, who spoke about prescription drug abuse. The presenters discussed issues facing the lives of young people, Allison said, such as cyberbullying, sexting, drug abuse and healthy relationships. “Hopefully, some of the students will take something away from today,” she said. “We try to do this in conjunction with Red Ribbon Week. The theme this year is ‘the key to life is staying drug free,’ so we’re looking at how the key to success is knowledge because knowledge empowers you.” Waters spoke to the students about his personal experience with prescription drug abuse, saying he started experimenting with drugs between eighth and 10th grades. “When I was in eighth grade, I was just like all of you guys. I loved life,” he said. “As eighth-graders right now, some of you may have already experimented with drugs.” Waters said making the choice to experiment with drugs will ultimately limit the other choices someone can make in their life. As he abused drugs, he said he

withdrew socially and started to struggle in school. “When you start doing drugs, your choices start going down and down,” he said. “I’m here to tell you that the minute you start, your life is getting ready to change. I went from being voted ‘Class Favorite’ to, within two years, no one knew who I was.” Warmoth taught the students how to perform CPR in emergency situations, noting that chest compressions are more critical than mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. “We don’t do anything else but compressions,” he said. “If you don’t breathe for them, there’s still enough residual oxygen from the last breath they took to be circulated throughout the body. They have six to 10 minutes of oxygen left in the body, and all we’re doing is circulating it.” Warmoth said statistics show how much better off a patient is when someone performs CPR versus doing nothing.

Highlanders dominate Bruno-Pyatt By Ty Loftis
CCNSports@cox-internet.com
The Eureka Springs Highlanders defeated the Bruno-Pyatt Patriots 77-15 Friday night at Highlander Arena. “Obviously our programs are at a different place,” Eureka Springs coach Brian Rambo said. “Coach (Josh) Henley is trying to do a good job over there by building a program. We have a special group of kids this year and it just kind of clicked Friday night. We shot it extremely well. We shot 52 percent for the game, which is pretty good for high school basketball. And then we defended. We gave up nothing easy on the defensive end. I thought we put the offense and defense together for the first time this year and as a result, good things happened for us.” Just as impressive as the 62-point victory is the fact that the Highlanders outscored Bruno-Pyatt 26-0 in the third quarter. “I have coached teams in the past that have been talented, but for whatever reason they didn’t have that killer instinct,” Rambo said. “This team, they know how to put teams away. We knew we were up pretty big at halftime. They just do a good job of not looking up at the scoreboard, just trying to execute and play their role. By the time we looked up, we were pitching a shutout.” Garrett Cross had 27 points and five rebounds, while Carter Drennon had 22 points and 11 rebounds. Brandon Ray added 10 points and Dalton Arnold had seven rebounds. The Highlanders only had two turnovers on the night. On Monday night, Eureka Springs
traveled to play Haas Hall Academy, a team the Highlanders lost to last year. “We played them over the summer, but you can’t judge much from that,” Rambo said. “They have a new coach. It’s their first game of the year. We are going to go in there, do what we do. Execute on offense, take care of the basketball, play well on defense. If we do that, I think we have a chance to go in there and get a road win and take a little break.” Mackenzie Sulffrie and Lily Lockman of Eureka Springs said students learned to be aware of what they post online and not to let their pasts define them. “I liked the CPR video the most,” Lockman said. Allison said the hometown health coalition is grateful to the schools for letting them use Bobcat Arena and for taking a day out of their schedules to allow students to come listen to the presenters. “I think it’s empowering for the children to be given a day out of class to learn about things that are not covered in the curriculum,” she said. She said the Carroll County Senior Activity and Wellness Center prepared lunch for the students, and the Berryville Rotary Club served the food. “Tyson donated the chicken, and the vegetables in our salad came from our Giving Garden at the community center,” Allison said. “We’re so thankful to everyone who donated time and prizes for the event.

While in California, she was a member of The First Families of Los Angeles as the Glassells were established in the early days of the city. In 1976 she moved to the top of Buck Mountain in Eureka Springs with her husband, Robert Hager. This is where she was the happiest. She worked in Good Shepherd Doggie Thrift Store and made many friends in Eureka Springs. She also drove to Fayetteville and worked as a docent for the university museum.

THE
New syndrome
Every now and then, a new syndrome is named. Most everyone knows about fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue being syndromes, but until recently, many Jim Fain have suffered with but few have known about the newest one — “Serotonin Deficiency Syndrome.” Depression, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, overeating, PMS, migraine, OCD, aggressive or violent tendencies, fibromyalgia, alcoholism and bulimia are all associated with relatively low levels of serotonin. At the same time, a natural product called 5-HTP and prescribed drugs called SSRIs, which increase serotonin levels in the synapse, can alleviate all these disorders. These two facts have caused some researchers, led by a medical researcher and doctor from a Swiss university, to conclude that these disorders may each represent a different manifestation of the same underlying disorder, which they call “serotonin deficiency syndrome.” In other words, when you feel depressed, anxious, irritable, etc, you may not be suffering from “depression” or “anxiety” per se, but rather from a generalized reduction in serotonin activity. Depending on your individual physiology, you may experience this as depression, fibromyalgia or anything else found in the list above. The good Swiss doctor suggests that this syndrome can best be treated by restoring normal serotonin levels. 5-HTP or the prescribed SSRI drugs like Prozac, Paxil or Effexor do the job. Most medical doctors in the U.S. don’t know about 5-HTP but many medical studies have been done in Europe and Japan, and they clearly show it to be very good with very little side effect. From experience, it starts to work right away (same day) with the best effect within a week. The Swiss doctor even agrees as his results demonstrate 5-HTP may be every bit as good as the SSRIs. Since 5-HTP can’t be patented, it is unlikely anyone in the United States will pay for a large-scale clinical study. Given the angst, anger and irritability not only worldwide but also in our country, I’m of the opinion some chilling out is a good thing. Maybe a capsule or two (100-300 mg) each day of a simple natural product would make a big difference.
Who do you think should be Citizen of the Week? Send us your nominations citizen.editor.eureka@gmail.com
ARIES: You may be the coolest kid on the block, but that will change when you finally get your furnace fixed. Just in time, too; you’ve been shivering so fast, your friends think you’re out of focus. Taurus: When one door closes, another one opens. Quick, stick your hand out and catch it, so you can sneak out of the house without the kids. GEMINI: An unusual situation leaves you speechless. Remember, use your words. When that fails, whip out that giant American Gladiator Q-Tip you keep in your locker for emergencies. CANCER: Feel free to put on a happy face this week, just make sure you take your own glum, depressed face off first. Otherwise the noses will smush together and you’ll sound like a goose with a cold. LEO: The sky’s the limit, but when have you ever stopped at someone else’s rules? Pack an extra pair of socks in your jetpack, because space can get a bit nippy. Also, watch for satellites. VIRGO: Truth travels with strange company, and there’s no one stranger than your in-laws after a few rounds of Bloody Marys. Either mix their drinks weak, or excuse yourself from the room when they start reminiscing about their wild swinging days in the 70s. You can’t scrub those images out of your head with a steel brush. LIBRA: That great idea you have is a misdemeanor in seven states unless you get a signed waiver from a raccoon and three turtles. Stock up on strawberries, batteries and your neighbor’s garbage once the paperwork is done. SCORPIO: A great journey begins with just one step, and you’ve tied your own shoes together. Get the knots in your life worked out, unless you want to bunny hop all the way to enlightenment. SAGITTARIUS: Your boss has an uneasy question for you, but that’s OK. You have an unsettling answer. Remember to wipe down
the copier after you photocopy your butt and wallpaper his office in hiney portraits. CAPRICORN: You’re only in trouble if they catch you, so soup up that Segway and flee before your roommates discover you’ve erased their Netflix passwords off every TV and computer in the house. With luck, they’re too weak from binging ‘Stranger Things’ to chase you to the Upside Down.

AQUARIUS: There’s a gleam in your eye and a spring in your step as you stumble up the stairs this week. Quit rinsing your contacts in the dishwasher, unless you love people signing your casts. PISCES: Sometimes you need to realize a fight is useless, so quit trying to make that angry ferret into an emotional support animal. Also, get more bandages and Bactine.

said, there’s no way to know exactly how much money you’ll make back until the event has happened. One of the things he hopes to do to bring more people to town during festivals, Green said, is have events happening at several different venues. Green suggested giving tourists a wristband for the trolleys that would allow them to attend as many events as they wanted without worrying about where to park their vehicle. That would work especially well for an event like the Folk Festival, Green said, and would be conducive to festivals with smaller events like the Jazz Festival, too. “In years past, there’s been some success doing small jazz events in existing venues, so there are multiple things going on at the same time but in a smaller format than The Auditorium,” Green said. He’s hoping to bring a Christmas program to The Auditorium next year, Green said, but that would mean planning immediately. “To get a good Christmas program at The Aud, I’d have to start looking at the beginning of the year,” Green said.

to get a dispensary, and the amendment said that if you have a financial interest in a dispensary you cannot certify patients to come to it,” Bell said. “You can see where that would be a conflict of interest.” He said the amendment also states that Arkansas dispensaries can serve patients with medical marijuana cards from other states. Bell said the application process for dispensaries has been complicated so far, with timelines for opening them still uncertain. Applications for growers and dispensaries had to be submitted by Sept. 18, he said, and the state will not begin reviewing applications until Dec. 15. He said the state is allowing five cultivators and 32 dispensaries to open, and 229 applications for dispensaries and 92 applications for cultivators were received. “They will review cultivators first. They’re probably not going to make a decision on cultivators until January,” Bell said. “So they won’t review dispensaries until January. If we knew we had a license Feb. 1 and then you start your crop and tried to expedite the process of getting ready to open your doors, we’re probably talking about April, May or June before these dispensaries open up.” He advised that patients wait to get their medical marijuana cards until spring since they are valid for only a year at a time. Bell said there will be four dispensaries allowed in Northwest Arkansas, which is Zone 1. “There were 33 applications for those four dispensaries,” he said. “Five applica-

tions were in Carroll County, 17 were in Washington County and 11 were in Benton County. Nobody in Madison County applied.” Bell continued, “We have a strong application, but our odds are at best 50 to 60 percent of getting one in Eureka Springs.” Barnes said no insurance companies will help cover the cost of medical marijuana since the legality of it is still complicated. “It could cost anywhere from $10 to $15 per gram for your flower or $280 to $420 per ounce,” she said. “You can have 2.5 ounces every two weeks.” For other methods, Barnes said tinctures will cost about $30 to $80 per gram because they have such concentrated amounts of the medicinal components in medical marijuana. Transdermal patches, she said, will cost about $10 to $40 per patch. Bell said the Eureka Springs team applied for a dispensary tentatively named “Eureka Green.” If approved, he said the dispensary will have an 80-plant in-house grow, novel strains of medical marijuana and a team of nurses, doctors and pharmacists to help prescribe strains for certain conditions and research their effectives. “We will operate like a clinic,” he said. “We want to know how this works for our patients. We will have nurses who will be trained and certified in this area.” Bell said 10 percent of the profits would go back into the local community. As far as location, he said Eureka Green has a contract to buy Caribe Restaurant and Cantina and set up shop there. “We’re trying to be something special,” he said. “Our aim is to be the best dispensary in the state.”

“It’s a pretty big deal,” he said. “As long as we can keep the air moving around in the body, it works.” The summit also had several booths set up for local health resources and youth groups. Jamie Houghton, youth leader for the 7:07 youth program at Forerunner House of Prayer in Green Forest, said the teen summit is a great outreach event because almost every eighth-grader in Carroll County is there. Zakk Favors, 7:07 worship leader, said they ask students if they have a church and offer to contact them if they’re interested in attending one. “We’re not trying to steal people away from other churches,” he said, “and we don’t make them put down their number.” “We only call if they don’t have a church and are interested in attending one,” Houghton said. “We just call and connect them with fun people if they don’t have anything going on.” “7:07 is a lot of fun,” Favors said. “I’ve been going there about seven years now, and it’s been life-changing.” Local students said they learned a lot from the Teen Summit about how to lead healthy lives. Nathan Edwards of Berryville said the students were taught how to keep their lives on the right path and how to learn

Allison said the hometown health coalition is grateful to the schools for letting them use Bobcat Arena and for taking a day out of their schedules to allow students to come listen to the presenters. “I think it’s empowering for the children to be given a day out of class to learn about things that are not covered in the curriculum,” she said. She said the Carroll County Senior Activity and Wellness Center prepared lunch for the students, and the Berryville Rotary Club served the food. “Tyson donated the chicken, and the vegetables in our salad came from our Giving Garden at the community center,” Allison said. “We’re so thankful to everyone who donated time and prizes for the event. The summit would not be possible without our speakers, our coalition members and the schools coming together to help educate our students in Carroll County.” Shepherd will be able to improve on that next year. “I think it’s a volume thing. I think next year we can and should be able to sell more ads,” Fusaro said. “That’s what I believe, but I want other people’s opinions. I want to talk to some people who bought ads.” Overall, Fusaro said, he’s not sure yet if Good Shepherd will make its budget at the end of the year. “I think the year’s going to be close,” Fusaro said. “Hopefully, the gala comes in really good.” The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 22, at the meet and greet room at the shelter.
