An ad for the Good Shepherd Humane Society that ran on the back page Sept. 1 was donated anonymously to benefit the shelter. Century 21 did not purchase the ad. The Good Shepherd Humane Society had a $4,349.24 loss for the month of July and received $5,500 in shelter improvements this June. The shelter has spent $97,700 on payroll from January to July this year. An article in the Sept. 1 issue incorrectly reported the shelter’s financial information.

‘It feels real today’
Featherstone shaves beard to celebrate community center By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
In January, Bill Featherstone wasn’t sure if the Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation would be able to make the community center a reality, but he didn’t lose hope. Instead, he vowed not to shave his beard until the foundation took possession of the old high school site. On Thursday, Sept. 1, Featherstone shaved his beard. He tasked his wife, Connie Featherstone, with shaving the beard. Featherstone explained that he extended his no-shave pact to the rest of the hair on his head in June, saying he would get a haircut when the city of Eureka Springs had a community center. “My definition of that was when we actually took possession of the property,” Featherstone said. “Even as much as a month or two ago, it looked like that was going to be the end of the year. Somehow, we managed to speed things up, to get things done.” He continued, “As of today, we officially have a community center in Eureka Springs. With that, I get to go back to the real world and have to leave my homeless look behind.” Featherstone credited his wife for being by his side while the foundation worked to raise money for the community center. “This woman has put up with my foolishness for 36…actually 38 years, if you count before we got married,” he said. “She’s endured a lot, including this latest thing, so she gets to do the honors of at least erasing this part of my foolishness.” Connie Featherstone said she was happy to support the community center project, even if that meant watching her husband grow his beard longer than she’d ever seen it before. “It’s just exciting to see the support they’ve had from the community. They worked really hard, so it’s like a new chapter,” she said. “It’s like starting over.” Featherstone agreed, saying he feels a little nervous now that the foundation has taken ownership of the old high school site. Now, he said, the community center is real. “We’ve been counting the days, but today we start all over again,” Featherstone said. “Now, it’s kind of like each and every day, each every week … is what have we
accomplished? What’s new at the community center?” He added, “That’s a little bit intimidating, quite frankly, but we’re looking forward to the challenges.” The foundation spent much of this year fundraising, reaching its $200,000 goal on June 28. Diane Murphy, chairwoman of the foundation, said that was the first of many fundraising goals. She recalled signing the lease for the old high school property with the Eureka Springs School Board on July 29, when the board received the first lease check from the foundation. The lease payments, Murphy said, will be $20,000 a year for 20 years. Jean Elderwind, secretary of the foundation, said the old high school site has officially been transferred to the foundation. All the utilities at the site have been transferred to the foundation, Elderwind said, and the school board recently approved a bid to remove the asbestos from the building. “The asbestos removal actually starts next week, so that’s really exciting,” Murphy said. “We’re working with the architect to do an upgraded site plan that takes into consideration the public feedback we’ve gotten through the public meetings over the last year.” Elderwind added that there’s some damage to one of the roofs that needs to be fixed and said Building 100 will need to be demolished before the Eureka Springs Farmers Market can relocate there. Board member Al Larson, who is also a member of the school board, said he’s excited to see Building 100 come down. “The big deal right now is getting rid of Building 100, but all the things the community center will offer to Eureka Springs … that’s the major point of all this,” Larson said, citing the recreation, trail hub and other new facilities at the site. “We sure intend to have after-school events and activities.” Mark Mintin, who watched Featherstone’s wife shave his beard, said he came out to show his support for the community center foundation. A community center is necessary, Mintin said, to any community. “I think it’s a great plan. It’s a great place for everybody to gather, and it’s something that’s sorely needed in tour town,” Mintin

said. “These guys have been tireless champions to make this thing a reality. There have been a lot of challenges. The folks heading this up are doing a fantastic job.” Working with the foundation, Featherstone said, has made the project even more worthwhile. He called the foundation the best group he has ever worked with in his life, saying he’s enjoyed spending the past three years working toward the community center with them. “That’s everything. No one of us would have taken this on by ourselves,” Featherstone said. “As a team, it’s been an amazing effort. We all play our roles, and we seem to get the entire job done between all of us. It’s
a neat thing.” Elderwind agreed. “When I stepped on the board, I knew everyone sort of but through so many meetings and so many discussions, my respect for the individuals on the board has only grown,” Elderwind said. “We sometimes see things a little differently, but we come together for the greater good of what we’re here for. I’ve enjoyed being a member of the board very much.” “It’s been a really nice balance where everyone has a different perspective to bring,” Murphy added. “We haven’t always agreed, but we’ve always found the path back to consensus.”

The Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission held a special called meeting Tuesday morning to vote on a recommendation for Damon Henke’s seat, but the commission couldn’t come to a consensus on how to move forward. The commission voted on Aug. 10 to extend Henke’s time on the commission, with finance director Rick Bright saying Henke would continue to serve in Position 4 for the next four years. The Eureka Springs City Council voted on Aug. 22 against the commission’s recommendation, with alderwoman Mickey Schneider saying she wasn’t sure about approving Henke’s appointment. She said Henke worked with the Passion Play to lobby against Ordi-
nance 2223 last year. The council voted, with Terry McClung, James DeVito and Bob Thomas voting to approve Henke’s renewal. Schneider and David Mitchell voted against it, and Kristi Kendrick abstained. Without a majority voting in favor of the CAPC’s recommendation to extend Henke, city clerk Ann Armstrong said the motion failed. CAPC chairman Ken Ketelsen said Sept. 6 that the commission has received three applications for Henke’s seat. Those applicants are Brandon Cox, Bobbie Foster and Henke. Ketelsen said the commission could look at Henke’s application but pointed out that part of the Arkansas Municipal League code says the council needs to approve the commission’s recommendation.
“One of the criteria of being seated as a commissioner is you must be approved by city council,” Ketelsen said, addressing Henke. “You were not.” Ketelsen added that Henke would have to wait a year before the council could vote on his appointment again, and commissioner Terry McClung said he didn’t know that. “That was not in the letter I saw,” McClung said. Ketelsen said he came to this conclusion after researching the issue and reaching out to the Arkansas Municipal League. McClung said he reached out to Mayor Butch Berry to veto the council’s decision and was told that wasn’t possible. The only way the council could re-vote on Henke, Ketelsen said, is if one of the council members See CAPC, page 21
CAPC workshop focuses on app options By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission (CAPC) could be extending its mobile application presence in the near future. Chip Ford addressed the commission on Tuesday about a mobile app he has been working on. Ford said he formed a company, called Modern Tourism Applications, to create an app focusing on Eureka Springs. He said he originally planned to release it as a paid app but changed his mind halfway through the creative phase of the project. “I said, ‘You know, this really should be something that is attached in some way to the CAPC,’ ” Ford said. “They’re the ones doing the marketing and advertising. They’re the ones that need the tool to be able to promote themselves effectively.” Ford said it would cost around $120,000 upfront for the commission to acquire the app, with a projected $100 per month for server and maintenance fees. Commissioner Ken Ketelsen asked Ford if this meant the commission
would own the rights to the app. “It’s copyrighting, so being able to ascertain full ownership of this product is completely impossible, but what could happen is to set up a contract for a flat fee,” Ford said. CAPC director Mike Maloney recalled working with a similar web design company in the past, saying he worked with a brilliant web designer who was hit by a semi-truck and became quadriplegic. “His wife could not run the company. It completely ruined this organization,” Maloney said, asking Ford if a contingency plan was in place for the app. Ford said there was. “One person is not in control of everything,” he said. He added that the coding is being put onto jump drives which are being placed in a safety deposit box. He told the commission that the designers he’s working with are waiting to hear about how to move forward on the app. “They’re sitting paused with a certain concept,” Ford said. Ketelsen asked Ford for examples of
what the app would look like, and Ford agreed to present these examples at the commission’s next regular meeting. The commission moved on, discussing commissioner Susan Harman’s offer to take notes during workshops. Ketelsen said this would be a good idea. “We currently don’t have anything in place that allows us to go back. At the last meeting, we had left several things we didn’t follow up on,” Ketelsen said. “I think it’s good for us to follow up.” He said he was just letting the commission know that Harman would begin taking notes at workshops. In other business, Harman asked Maloney if he had examples of the commission’s most recent media campaigns. “What I was asking was to get an idea of what you do on different outlets. What I’d love to see is three examples of each,” Harman said. “Then, everybody would have an idea what was going out.” Maloney agreed to bring those examples to the commission’s next regular meeting, scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 14, at City Hall.

Holiday pop-up shop to benefit GSHS By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Good Shepherd Humane Society is getting in the holiday spirit. The animal shelter will host its first annual Holiday Extravaganza Pop-up Store from noon to 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17, at 4 States Event Center at 2100 E. Van Buren in Eureka Springs. Along with the holiday items for sale, there will be face painting, refreshments and a doggie kissing booth at the event. Janet Chupp, manager of the Doggie Thrift Stores, said the shelter has been selling holiday items at its annual Doggie Style fundraiser for quite some time. “We typically had a Christmas room, and our merchandise outgrew that,” Chupp said. “So we decided to make it separate events this year and try it and see if it works.” Board member Donna Fontanello said the pop-up store will have every holiday item you can imagine. There will be items for every holiday, she said, including Easter and Valentine’s Day. She added that there will be a bridal booth at the event, too. “I think it’s a good way to show what we have to offer. It’s kind of an extension of the thrift stores,” Fontanello said. “There’s new stuff…lots of fun items you probably won’t see anywhere. It’ll bring back some memories, because there are some older items, some antiques.” She continued, “I think people are going to enjoy that, seeing things they don’t see at other events or stores. We were trying to set it up like this to have these items available
before the holidays.” Good Shepherd board of directors president Troy Johnson said the event will help the thrift shops unload the holiday merchandise that has collected over the years. “We do have two stores, and the amount of holiday merchandise we’ve been gathering is mind-boggling,” Johnson said. “It’s going to be a really awesome pop-up store for one day and one day only.” Chupp said she’s excited about the doggie kissing booth. Her rat terrier Oreo, she said, will be the main kisser. “He loves to kiss, so he’s going to be there,” Chupp said. “We’ll also have a poodle. He’s a very lovable young man, too, so we’re going to have him as an alternate.” Board vice president Jay Fusaro pointed out that the event is also a way for the community to support the animal shelter. “If you don’t have time to come to the thrift stores, this will be a good opportunity for them,” Fusaro said. It’s these end-of-the-year events, Johnson said, that help the shelter make it through the winter. He said these fundraisers are necessary for the shelter to operate during wintertime. “They’re really vital for us. Supporting this is a great way to support Good Shepherd,” Johnson said. Chupp agreed. “Typically with the weather, Eureka shuts down in the winter…not as much as it used to, but it still does,” Chupp said. “The income from the stores dwindles, and we try
Holiday Island Rotary Club to host GeoCaching event
The Holiday Island Rotary Club will hold a GeoCaching event from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, starting at Holiday Island Memorial Park. GPS coordinates of the search locations will be provided upon registration. All locations to be found will be in Holiday Island. The first-place team will receive
a $75 prize. The Dixieland Band featuring Charlie and the All Stars will perform from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The band will be free to everyone. A meal will be served from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. It will cost $8. For more information, visit www.HolidayIslandRotary.com.
to compensate for that through the winter months by doing this.” Fusaro said the thrift stores contribute 60 percent of the shelter’s revenue. The other 40 percent, he said, comes from fundraisers like the Holiday Extravaganza and grants. For those who want to help the shelter, Johnson said a wish list is posted on the shelter’s website at www.goodshepherd-hs.org. He said the shelter really needs wet cat food, among other items. “The wish list is updated seasonally to reflect the items we need the most,” Johnson said. “That would be an awesome way for people to help.” The people who donate to the shelter and come to its fundraisers, Chupp said, are invaluable to the shelter. “It means the world to us. That’s what we’re here for, is the animals,” she said. Fusaro agreed, saying the shelter’s main goal is to take care of the animals in it. “We get to really speak for the animals that can’t speak for themselves,” Fusaro said. “That’s why we do this. The money that comes in goes to taking care of the animals and improving the shelter.” The shelter’s other mission, Johnson added, is to educate the public on how important it is to spay and neuter their animals. “We offer low-income spay and neuter clinics. We offer low-income rabies clinics to really reach out to all the citizens of Carroll County,” Johnson said. “It really speaks to our mission that we educate the public as well.”

City council approves amended sales tax ordinances By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs City Council amended two ordinances regarding the proposed 1 percent sales tax at two special called meetings Aug. 31. In the first meeting, the council passed Ordinance 2244 with an amendment that removes the word “operation” from a section that says the proposed tax would fund the city’s water and sewer infrastructure improvements, maintenance repairs and operations. Mayor Butch Berry explained that the word “operation” was struck from that section to prevent confusion in the future.
“We want everyone to know this is not for hiring new personnel. This is strictly for the infrastructure, for capital improvements, repairs and maintenance,” Berry said. “With the word ‘operation,’ we felt that could be interpreted by future councils or mayors to include hiring personnel.” The council approved the ordinance as amended on first, second and third readings, also approving the emergency clause. That meeting adjourned, and Berry opened the second meeting. This was necessary, he said, because special called meetings can involve only one topic. In the second meeting, the council passed Ordinance 2245 with an amendment that
adds details to the ballot title. The new information says the proposed tax would be levied on the gross receipts from retail sales, saying the proposed tax is subject to the Arkansas Gross Receipts Act of 1941. Other new information states that the proposed tax will apply to the sale price of property or the lease and rental price of property City attorney Tim Weaver described what led up to the amendments. When the ballot information was taken to the clerk in Berryville, Weaver said, the clerk requested guidance on how to move forward. Weaver said the information in the ordinance wasn’t as descriptive as the clerk would have liked.
“We don’t fully explain what we’re doing, that we’re raising 1 percent on all retail, both lease and sale,” Weaver said. “The way we had the original one, it was short and sweet, to the point. This adds the detail to the rest of the ordinance.” He continued, “Hopefully, it makes us even more bulletproof than I think we already were.” The council approved the amended ordinance on first, second and third readings, as well as the emergency clause. The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 12, at City Hall.
Dunking booth raises money for ‘Shop with a Cop’ program By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com
Local law enforcement officers made a splash at the Carroll County Fair this weekend. The Merlin Foundation partnered with area law enforcement agencies for the “Dunk a Cop” fundraiser on Friday and Saturday. Officers from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, the Berryville Police Department, the Eureka Springs Police Department and the Green Forest Police Department all took turns in the dunking booth. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the “Shop with a Cop” program which helps children in need have a merry Christmas and happy holidays. Berryville Police Chief Robert Bartos said the agencies work in conjunction with Walmart for the “Shop with a Cop” program. It was started in the 1980s by Merlin Leach, who founded the Merlin Foundation, and former Berryville Police Chief David Muniz, Bartos said, and helps kids whose families cannot otherwise afford Christmas gifts. “The program has been running for sev-
eral years now,” he said. “It’s great for two reasons: It gives kids a good Christmas, and the kids build relationships with the cops..” Bartos continued, “Some don’t have the best attitude towards police officers because of other family members’ experiences, so this gives the kids a chance to see us in a different light.” Michelle Steiner, executive director of the Merlin Foundation, said “Shop with a Cop” was one of Leach’s big projects each year. “He always made sure to take care of it. He really enjoyed the event,” Steiner said. She said the foundation is regrouping to fill the shoes of Leach, who passed away in June. The Merlin Foundation is still active, Steiner said, and will continue Leach’s legacy in Carroll County. “His loss has been earth-shaking all around, and I know many are wondering what’s going on with the Merlin Foundation,” she said. “We are stepping up and will continue to work on filling in the gaps for kids’ needs.” See Cops, page 21

Today the residents on East Mountain Road are a little safer due to the fast response and dedication of two city aldermen, Bob Thomas and David Mitchell with direct support by Mayor Butch Berry. The speed bumps were recently installed with warning signs along East Mountain Road in response to safety concerns aired during city council meetings that informed the city council about hazards experienced by residents walking on East Mountain Road. Great job and I have to say it is good to see more signs of public action and the city taking action. Way to go, Eureka Springs. – FERGUSON STEWART

Disappointed parent
To Whom it May Concern, As a parent of a student at Eureka Springs Public School, I was unaware of a reward punishment system on standardized testing. The middle school was required to make a specific score or they were not allowed to participate in the reward activity. There are students who don’t perform well on standard tests or are unable to meet the standard set by the school and were punished for doing their very best. Is the school teaching our children that their best is not good enough? How do I as a parent explain to my child that they did their very best and that was not good enough? Who is setting this requirement on my child? Why are the requirements different depending on what grade my child is in? How do I rebuild the self-confidence in my child that the school so carelessly destroyed? Sincerely, – VERY DISAPPOINTED

Editorial contest gives teens a chance to address texting while driving The Lovely County Citizen, Arkansas Newspaper Foundation and AT&T are sponsoring an essay contest challenging Arkansas students from 14-19 to write an editorial or opinion column highlighting the dangers of texting while driving and encouraging their peers to take the It Can Wait pledge. The contest begins on Thursday, Sept. 1. The essay question is, “Why is it important to take the It Can Wait pledge to never text and drive?” The piece will highlight the dangers of texting while driving and must include the following call to action: “Take the pledge to never text and drive at ItCanWait. com.” The Lovely County Citizen will choose a local winning essay, and that essay will be sent to the Arkansas Newspaper Foundation. Entries will be accepted until Oct. 7. The Citizen will be awarding first, second and third place prizes locally. All winning essays will be published in the Citizen. Additional local prizes will
be announced soon. Last year, the state winner of the contest received $500 in prize money, an elegant lunch at the Little Rock Club with AT&T leadership, a personal tour of the capitol and a private meeting and photo with Gov. Asa Hutchinson. Distracted drivers are dangerous. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in 2012, driver distraction was the cause of 18 percent of all fatal crashes – with 3,328 people killed – and crashes resulting in an injury – with 421,000 people hurt. Despite knowing the risks of texting while driving, 43 percent of teens admit to texting while driving. However, there is an opportunity to change this behavior. Ninety percent of teen drivers say they would stop if a friend in the car asked them and 78 percent say that they are likely not to text and drive if friends tell them it is wrong.

Pollinators Alliance spreads buzz at county fair By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com
The Carroll County Fair helped spread the buzz about protecting pollinators. The Eureka Springs Pollinator Alliance set up a booth at the fair featuring educational materials, guides on how to protect pollinators and bee-friendly crafts, such as a tin can converted into a bee home. Ken Trimble, a member of the pollinator alliance, said the group’s mission is sustainability of pollinator species, whether it be colonies of bees, solitary bees, butterflies, beetles, bats or other species. Bees and other pollinators have been disappearing at an alarming rate, he said, because pesticides and genetically modified organisms weaken the insects’ immune systems and leave them vulnerable to deadly infections. “They’re saying the population of monarch butterflies is down 90 percent this year,” Trimble said, “and there are several species of bees, such as the rusty patched bumblebee, that may be listed as the first endan-
gered bees in the United States.” He said this loss of pollinator species will have a huge impact on people because about one third of all food products is produced by bees, including most fruits and vegetables. Trimble said the pollinator alliance chose to spread the buzz at the county fair for a few reasons. “Number one, nobody on this side of the river really knows about us,” he said, “and number two, there’s a lot of people interested in keeping bees or that have kept bees in the past.” The pollinator alliance, Trimble said, wanted to make a point that people do not necessarily have to keep bees to help the situation. He said they can do things as simple as planting native plants and flowers, keeping flowers throughout the seasons to provide bees with a constant source of food, providing clean water for bees or even mowing the grass less often to allow dandelions and clovers to grow. “There’s a lot of simple things people can
do without going out and buying a bee hive,” Trimble said. “It can cost about $400 to get started with bees, and you have to have some gear as well.” He pointed to a tin-can bee home, which had several tubes built inside it. “We wanted to make a point that anybody can make these,” Trimble said. “You can spend $120 on one from a store if you want, or you could make your own with just a tin can and some cardboard.” The county fair was also a great way to share the pollinator alliance’s message with children, he said. “Our impetus is directed toward educating the next generation,” Trimble said. “It’s going to really fall on their shoulders, especially if we don’t take care of it.” He said the group will continue to pollinate the idea of sustainability in people’s minds in the coming months. The pollinator alliance is working on a film series for kids, Trimble said, and is looking into partnering with the Carnegie Library for the project.
“We may call it ‘Bee Aware.’ We’re hoping to do that sometime in September,” he said. “We may possibly have a craft for the kids as well, like building a mason bee hive they can take home with them.” Trimble said the pollinator alliance also plans to be involved in the Ozark Folk Festival in October and is in the talking stages right now about a possible bee mural for the city. “We’re looking into possibly getting a mural of bees painted on the side of a building somewhere,” he said. “That project is in the preliminary stages.” Trimble said the ultimate message the pollinator alliance hopes to spread is that everyone can do something to help protect pollinators. “People look at situations in politics and around the world and think ‘There’s nothing we can do. It’s so out of control,’ ” he said. “This is something we can control if we all pitch in and do our part.”
Cocktails for a Cause raises money for Rotary Club By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com
The Eureka Springs Rotary Club raised more than just glasses this past Thursday. The Rotary Club was featured at this month’s Cocktails for a Cause, an event hosted by the Eureka Springs Downtown Network on the first Thursday of every month to benefit local nonprofits. The Eureka Springs Rotary Club was recognized on Thursday, Sept. 1, at the Pied Piper. Jayme Creek, president of the Eureka Springs Rotary Club, said the cocktail event was a great opportunity for the club to raise some money for their projects and share what they do with members of the community. “I think this is our first time to be selected for Cocktails for a Cause,” Creek said. “It feels really good to have the community support. You hear things here and there that
people don’t know what Rotary is or what Rotary does, but now we see they do.” The Rotary Club is a volunteer organization, she said, that comes together as a team to do fundraisers and events to support the community. Creek said some of these fundraisers include the backpack program, where backpacks are filled with food for kids who receive free and reduced lunches to take home over the weekend, and the Samaritan’s Feet program, which provides shows for low income families. The Rotary Club also offers scholarships to local students entering college, she said, and holds a tournament in Holiday Island in the spring to fund the scholarships. “It’s a four-year scholarship, so they don’t just get it their first year,” Creek said. “They get money each year as long as they keep their grades up and keep going. It helps motivate them to finish college. That’s a new
thing we’ve done.” She said the Rotary Club’s Interact Club also has grown tremendously over the last two years. The Interact Club shows high school students leadership skills, community efforts and volunteerism, Creek said, in order to give them the basic principles they need to grow into a great Rotarian and community member. “I think we went from 10 kids at the most over the last three or four years to about 17 members this year,” she said. “The club is definitely needed. This gives them a positive outlet to grow into something better instead of getting wrapped up in video games or worse things.” Creek said the money raised by the Rotary Club at Cocktails for a Cause might help fill some more glasses over the next few months. “I’m not sure we’ve actually talked about
a goal yet, but since it’s this close to Oktoberfest we may use the money for that,” she said. “The backpack program might get some of the proceeds as well.” Creek said Oktoberfest is an annual event where visitors can pay $10 at four to six local breweries throughout Arkansas and Missouri for as much beer as they want from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. She said the rotary club has a live band every year as well as brats pretzels, turkey legs and other food. Most of the event’s proceeds will go to the backpack program, she said. “Oktoberfest is an awesome event. It’s one of my favorites,” Creek said. “And the backpack program is very important. We started it about three years ago, and it gets a lot of support.” She said the Rotary Club is all about helping the local community and especially the See Cocktails, page 21

Antique Auto Fest scheduled this weekend in Eureka Springs muscle cars of the 20th century and more. It’s always a thrill to go out, meet the owners and wax nostalgic over rows and rows of dream cars. Autos will be parked for showing and judging on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. At 11 a.m. Saturday, the parade will leave from Pine Mountain Village and travel along 62 to the Historic Loop, winding its way through the curves down to Basin Park. Some cars will park downtown, so you’ll have a Local People – Local Decisions chance to see historic rides against the backdrop of historic Eureka Springs. Immediately after the parade, you can Eureka Springs • Holiday Island view another bit of Berryville • Huntsville history: the annual re-enactment of the WWW.CSTONEBANK.NET 1922 daylight bank robbery attempt.
Get ready for the rumble of hundreds of purring engines! One of Eureka Springs’ oldest festivals, the 45th annual Antique Auto Festival, roars into town Sept. 9-10. Classic car enthusiasts from Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and the world beyond will meet for two days of vintage auto-lovin’ fun. There are original and modified divisions for every type of vehicle, from the earliest Model As and Ts to the classic
Hometown Banking!
What happened? A gang of five criminals charged into the bank, but they never made it back with any loot. Three were shot dead, two survived and went to prison, and even the getaway car was crashed. The town achieved its own CSI-style fame for thwarting the attack and re-enacting it became a time-honored tradition in the latter part of the last century. You’ll be able to cheer for the good guys, boo at the bad guys and perhaps even see a saloon girl or undertaker making the rounds. After the re-enactment, the cars will be parked downtown until 3 p.m. Festival participants will gather at Pine Mountain Village at 4:30 p.m. for the awards ceremony and bragging rights on whose ride is the most cherry.

THE
A supplement to remember
In researching anything new regarding dementias including AlzheiJim Fain mer’s, I came across a little-known supplement worthy of consideration. Of course I checked it out on PubMed through the National Library of Medicine finding university-published science looking at usefulness. One early clinical trial (on people) is underway but dozens of scientific studies have been done. The supplement is called Uridine. There are two types of Uridine available for retail purchase. The one I’m writing about is Uridine-5 monophosphate. This is available in 300 mg capsules in a 60-count bottle. It seems from what I read one or two capsules each day is what would benefit the most. How does it benefit our lives? Apparently, this food supplement helps power our cells. The energy source inside every cell is called the mitochondria and Uridine impacts this in a beneficial way. Many of the studies looked at the effect of prescribed drugs on the squelching of the energy makers, finding that Uridine kicked the furnace back up, especially when combined with choline. An indirect source of choline is an inexpensive supplement called lecithin. You can go direct with another inexpensive supplement called phosphatidyl choline or supercharge with phosphatidyl serine which is more costly. From everything I studied, adding a vitamin B12 melted under the tongue (methyl type is best) adds considerably. Who would be most likely to stay on this regimen? Anyone who wishes to improve thinking and memory or anyone who is prone to depression. People on heavy duty drugs for Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, HIV or cancer therapy using 5-fluorouricil likely will strongly benefit as I found published studies on all of these. I had to wonder, that it would benefit those on long term use of statin drugs for reduction of cholesterol, as there is some risk of impact on the brain from this group of drugs. This supplement and combination won’t be a problem with prescribed drugs and has no known drawbacks. Uridine is difficult to find as it isn’t well known, but can be purchased as a nutritional supplement for under $35.00. As I’ve written before, fish oils, Serraflazyme, niacinamide or coconut oil are all good supplements depending upon need.
Wisecrack ZODIAC ARIES: You’re a wild combination of good deeds and dirty thoughts this week. Feel free to help an old lady across the street, just don’t let her see that battery-operated rocket in your pocket. You might get more than you bargained for. TAURUS: Tuesday is a fantastic day if you want to get things done. If you don’t? Too bad. Pick up a mop and a barrel of bleach, because your room looks like a Jackson Pollack painting under a blacklight. GEMINI: If the future looks bright, it probably means a meteor hit it. Now is no time to be a dinosaur; evolve fast into something with wings so you can soar above the impact zone. Perhaps a cutting-edge eagle who knows how to fix wi-fi. CANCER: Everyone agrees you’re awesome, so quit kicking your own butt and get on the bandwagon. The seats are upholstered and fluffy, so your tushie won’t suffer. LEO: Not everything needs to be fixed. Sometimes a situation isn’t broken, it’s just bent a little. Give it some room and it will spring back to shape without your screwdriver in it. VIRGO: The universe works in mysterious ways, but it also loves a good romance, too. Make yours one of those pop-up picture books and karma will provide the perfect character for your kinky story. LIBRA: You are a sunset, you are a cloud, you are the wind. You also may have accidentally taken your mother-in-law’s happy meds at the family reunion. Ask your loved ones to tie a string to your ankle. They’ll either keep you grounded or fly you like a kite. SCORPIO: Love doesn’t judge. Your neighbors do, though, so ask the circus performers to put something on before they do the walk of shame out of your house on Monday morning. SAGITTARIUS: On Friday, you’re like a cat riding a Roomba: you don’t care what you’re wear-
ing or where you’re going, as long as someone else is driving. Break out the shark costume and you could go viral. CAPRICORN: Your boss has some peculiar ideas, and it falls to you to straighten her out. The world isn’t ready for 3-D printed pizza, no matter how much cheese you put on the plastic pepperoni. AQUARIUS: You like a place

Hangin’ Out at the Midway

For many Eureka Springs residents, the carnival is the best part of the fair. .
Sometimes, it’s harder to hang out on the midway than you might think. This small version of the High Striker game is geared toward the pint-size set.
Riders enjoy the Sizzler, similar to the old tried and true Octopus.
The food is always better at the fair.

Eureka Springs School of the Arts has announced several workshops to be held in October. Metal Surface Embellishment with John Bozeman, an intermediate jewelry workshop, will be held Oct. 3-7. In this class students will learn decorative techniques to assist in the design and production of jewelry pieces. Students will design pattern dies freehand and in Photoshop, then use acids to etch the finished design onto brass. Basketry 101 with Mary Patrick, a beginning baskets workshop, will be held Oct 3-7. Students will create a free-ribbed basket using a fine weaving technique with a graduated size of reed weavers.
Intro to the Old Masters Silver Point Technique with Scott Eagle, an intermediate painting and drawing workshop, will be held Oct. 3-7.

First, participants will be introduced to stylus requirements (from free to expensive); drawing technique: and how to prepare paper using easily accessible modern grounds. The second part of the workshop will introduce techniques to distress paper so that it looks hundreds of years old.
