A place for everyone

St. James Episcopal Church hosts Sunday Night Suppers By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Rick Delaney ambles up the stairs at St. James Episcopal Church and adjusts a sign near the gate. “Sunday Night Supper - Everyone is Welcome,” the sign says. Delaney explains that he’s taking a quick break from the prep for tonight’s Sunday Night Supper, saying he coordinates with local restaurants to provide food for the event. “This is our seventh year, I believe,” Delaney says. “It started a long time ago. People just started feeding people here at the St. James house. Then we moved over to the church, because we had a bigger kitchen.” Delaney says the idea behind the suppers is to give back to Eureka Springs residents who don’t have stable income during the winter when tourism slows down. “We wanted to take care of them on Sunday nights, and it has become a community gathering,” he says. Sometimes, he says, the church feeds up to 80 people on Sunday nights. Delaney says the church is happy to do it, saying the suppers begin at the beginning of December and end around mid-March once tourism picks up again. “This is generally the time when people need the help. That’s our season,” he says. “Our season is the town’s off-season.” He credits much of the event’s success to the restaurants that provide food every Sunday. The participation of these restaurants, Delaney says, indicates the type of community Eureka Springs is. “They know about the program, and they want to feed people,” he says. “Getting food has never been a problem.” Delaney remembers some of the good times he’s had at the suppers, pointing out how eventful last year’s Valentine’s Day supper was. He says that supper has been his favorite so far. “It was incredible. Catherine Reed came and sang. We had a really nice crowd, beautiful decorations, great desserts … that’s the one that really stands out,” he says. Not much makes him feel better than seeing the church full of hungry people who aren’t so hungry anymore, Delaney says.

“It’s the best thing. It’s something we need, and that’s the best part about it,” he says, pointing downstairs. “There’s a roomful of people down there getting everything ready. We’re here to help the community.” He’s been happy to see such broad community support for the suppers, Delaney says. He recalls the conversations he’s had with locals about St. James, saying most people have a good idea of what the church is here to do. “They know what we do. We say, ‘We’re the one on the loop with the red doors,’ and they say, ‘Oh, you’re the one with the suppers,’ ” Delaney says. “It’s a very good feeling. The whole church is proud, not just me.” A big reason he’s so involved with the suppers, Delaney continues, is because he feels it’s his duty to help those in need. “I read about the sin of indifference. It’s not one of the Ten Commandments or anything, but I read it in a story a few years ago,” he says. “I said, ‘Wow, that’s true.’ If you’re not thinking about other people, that’s a sin.” He moves downstairs into the room where the supper is being held, opening the door to an explosion of sounds and smells.

Lucas Scarrow and Ryan Lerchen sit near a platter of fresh-baked bread, each twirling a spoon in their coffee cup. Scarrow says he’s looking forward to eating dinner. “I’m here every Sunday,” he says. Lerchen says he didn’t start coming to the suppers until this year. “The food is delicious. It’s wonderful company,” Lerchen says, nudging Scarrow. “I mean, Lucas is here. What more do you need?” Jane Stephens stops by the table and sits down. Stephens explains that she helps coordinate the dinners with Delaney and other members of the church but says she doesn’t want the focus to be on her. “I really don’t want any … it’s not about me,” she says. “I don’t want it to be about me. I want it to be about these guys. That’s the most important thing. It’s about not letting these people die on the street.” Church member Anita Taylor toots her horn anyway. “This girl right here … she runs us. She knows what she’s doing,” Taylor says. “She won’t take any credit herself, so I’m going to give it to her.” Stephens begins to cry. She says she’s formed meaningful relationships with the

people who come to the suppers, nodding toward Scarrow. “Lucas is like my grandson. He’ll tell you what he’s been through,” Stephens says. “I can’t do it, because I’ve never been there. I’ve never had to cover myself with leaves to keep warm in the night, and that’s what they do.” Taylor puts her hand on Stephens’ shoulder and says she enjoys getting to know people at the suppers, too. “It’s about the community coming together. Everybody gives something, even the people that come here to eat,” Taylor says. Back in the kitchen, church member Olga Jensen pours a cup of tea. Jensen glances across the room, saying she’s happy to see so much of the community around her. “It’s to help the public,” she says of the suppers. “Not just the poor people, but for camaraderie. It’s just goodwill to mankind.” Pamela Tammi sits at a children’s table near the back of the room, creating little crosses out of Play Doh. Tammi says the craft table is always available at the suppers for children who want to make something new. She recalls when she first started coming to the suppers and says she’s always had a good time. “I get to see people I normally wouldn’t see during the year, because I’m so busy working. It’s a wonderful way to meet people,” Tammi says, rolling a section of Play Doh into a ball. “I get to be a kid sometimes, too.” A line begins to form at the buffet, and Delaney asks everyone to quiet down for a moment. “I’d like to welcome everybody again for coming. We’re here every Sunday until March 12,” he announces. It’s time to read the blessing, he says. “In a world where so many are hungry, may we eat this food with humble hearts. In a world where so many are lonely, may we share this friendship with joyful hearts,” Delaney reads. He smiles and motions to everyone to get in line. “Supper’s ready,” he says. “Let’s eat!”

After months of discussion and revisions, the Eureka Springs Cemetery Commission voted to approve the new Policies and Procedures manual as amended at its Wednesday meeting. Secretary and treasurer Bob Thomas had presented the commissioners with a draft of the policies and procedures manual at the commission’s Jan. 18 meeting to review before approving. The commissioners made a few final amendments, such as specifying that no glass or ceramic containers may be placed on grave sites for the safety of groundskeepers, before voting to approve the 2017 Polices and Procedures. The commission then voted to post the Cemetery Rules and Guidelines page at City Hall, the Carnegie Public Library, Hart’s Family Center, Sun Fest Market and, of course, the Eureka Springs Cemetery. Chairwoman and cemetery superintendent Peg Adamson said she was pleased to have the new policies and procedures be official. “Bob, you did excellent work on this,” Adamson said. “I’m very thrilled with this.” The commission also voted to approve the 2017 Cemetery Operating Budget. The commission was approved for yearly funding of $7,078 in the city’s budget, so Thomas had asked Adamson and head groundskeeper Pat Lujan to prepare

a proposed operating budget for the funds. Lujan said the operating budget allots $360 for electricity, $260 for water, $600 for fuel, $2,240 for maintenance, $2,470 for property projects and $1,200 for the annual tractor rental to maintain the roads in the cemetery. “Maintenance will include equipment and grounds supplies, so we can update and replace equipment as needed,” he said. “The property projects fund is for building maintenance, signs and tools. I want to look at securing the groundskeepers’ building a little better by getting some heavy-duty latches and adding more structure to the windows.” One of the grounds projects the budget will go toward this year, Lujan said, is replacing signs around the cemetery. “The signs are really bad throughout the cemetery. You don’t really know when you’ve switched streets and when you haven’t,” he said. “We’re looking at replacing them with wood signs that are going to last and using commercial-grade lettering that will stick.” Lujan said replacing the signs will cost about $1,000, including poles. He said the groundskeepers can make the signs during the summer and replace them incrementally. “I think that’s the most economical way to go. Those signs will be two-sided so you will know which street and block you’re on,” he said. The commission also voted to approve two expenditures to be taken out of the

Special Projects Budget, which is funded by the cemetery commission. The first expenditure was $429.93 for the last bit of hand tools needed for the groundskeepers and to replace rotting shelving with steel shelving. The second expenditure was $800 to remove three trees that are damaging the cemetery grounds. The commissioners discussed whether the expenditures should come out of the Operating Budget or the Special Projects Budget. Thomas said that the spending system for the Operating Budget needs to be established with the city before the commission can use it. “The system still needs to be set up with the city. I should hear back from the mayor soon,” he said. “We can write a check for these out of cemetery commission funds, but we may not be paid for it out of the city budget.” Adamson apologized for authorizing the expenditure for the tools and shelving before the system was established. “If it’s possible to reimburse Pat and then get our money back, that would be nice,” she said. “If not, I guess I’ll cover it since this was my kerfuffle.” Lujan said he believed the removal of the trees was an expenditure for the Special Projects Budget. “I thought this was a commission project anyway. I didn’t have it in the budget,” he said. Thomas recommended that the commission pay for the tree removal out of the See Budget, page 21

Woodwork returned

Cross Partnership reclaims property from Satori By Kelby Newcomb and Scott Loftis CCNNews@cox-internet.com

The Clark and Klock building is whole again. John F. Cross, president of the John F. Cross Family Partnership, issued an announcement on Thursday, Feb. 2, stating that the Victorian oak roses, trim, doors and baseboards installed by W.O. Perkins in the early 1900s have been returned to the Clark and Klock building in Eureka Springs after being dismantled and removed from the premises in February 2013. Cross said workers began reinstalling the woodwork on Thursday. Circuit Judge Mackie Pierce issued an order on April 23, 2015, granting summary judgment to the Cross Partnership in a civil lawsuit against former Eureka Springs mayor Beau Zar Satori. Pierce had ordered Satori to pay his former landlord almost $10,000 and return the antique woodwork that he allegedly took from a building that housed Satori’s art and jewelry gallery. Pierce also ordered Satori to pay the plaintiff $110 for unpaid rent, $3,987.86 for damage to an air conditioner compressor, $642.49 for court costs and $5,000 in attorney’s fees — a total of $9,740.35. Pierce also said the court would retain jurisdiction for the purpose of determining additional damages related to reinstalling the woodwork. Cross said they finally reclaimed the property last spring around the end of April. The wheels of justice do move, he said, but sometimes they move slowly along a bumpy road. “It took the sheriff a year and two days to enact the circuit judge’s order,” he said. “We had to write two writs of mandamus to force him to act. The first one expired, but for the second one we saw Satori in [an area restaurant]. … We called the cops, and they came down and served him the order.” Cross said Satori had 10 days to deliver the woodwork after that point but failed to do so. “So we went up with the sheriff and cut

the locks off of Satori’s storage garages and went in and got the stuff ourselves while the sheriff looked on,” Cross said. He said the woodwork was put into storage. The reinstallation was put off until January of this year, Cross said, so as to not interrupt the Clark and Klock building’s current tenant. “We didn’t want to interrupt the current tenant who had the art studio,” he said. “We were just starting the spring season, so reinstalling the woodwork then would have disrupted her business for the rest of the summer. We told her we would put it up in January when business slows down in town.” The Cross Partnership evicted Satori from the Clark and Klock building at 81 Spring St. in Eureka Springs in the fall of 2012 for nonpayment of rent. Satori left the property in February 2013. Three months later, Carroll County Prosecuting Attorney Tony Rogers filed an affidavit alleging that Satori stole antique oak baseboards, trim and doors from the building. “I’ve only evicted three people in 50 years, and two of them have been Sato-

ri,” Cross said. “I let him back in the first time out of the goodness of my heart, and then he pulled some more stuff.” When the Cross Partnership went to the building to evict Satori, Cross said that Satori asked for three more days to move out. Cross said he agreed to the arrangement provided that Satori would pay rent for those three days. “So we went up there early in the morning after three days, and his workers were still out there with paintbrushes in their hands,” Cross said. “They were still painting the woodwork that he put back in.” He continued, “The original doors are three solid oak doors. What he tried to replace them with were flimsy hollow pine doors. He painted them to look like aged oak by using a dark oak stain. I guess he thought we wouldn’t know the difference.” The baseboards and trim were made by W.O. Perkins and installed in the early 1900s, according to the affidavit, and were valued by an antiques expert consulted by the prosecutor to be worth at least $8,000.

Satori denied taking the woodwork, according to a Eureka Springs Police Department report, and told authorities that the original baseboards, trim and molding were still in the building, behind white pine boards he installed. However, after police removed the white pine boards they found no boards behind them, according to the report. According to Satori, the woodwork he removed from the building was either made or commissioned by himself. “Cross charged me with a crime when I removed it and replaced it, but it was the third time I had put the wood detailing on there,” Satori said. “In the early ‘80s, I did it in white pine. In the ’90s, I did it in red oak. Before I moved out, I replaced it in yellow pine.” He continued, “All of the original baseboards that were in the building in 1900 are still there. Nothing was ever removed except for my red oak work.” Rogers originally charged Satori with a Class C felony, but “nolle prossed” the charges after the Cross Partnership filed its civil suit on April 1, 2014. Rogers said in May 2015 that the charges were no longer pending. Cross said the Cross Partnership opted for a civil suit because they thought his and Satori’s positions could have resulted in a biased jury. “We didn’t feel we could get a fair trial with 12 jurors in the Western District of Carroll County,” he said. “We went to the circuit court, where there are only nine jurors, and filed [civil] charges against Satori. In the meantime, we issued a motion for a summary judgement so as not to waste taxpayers’ time. The judge understood and gave us a summary judgement.” Because Pierce granted a summary judgment to the Cross Partnership, the case never went before a jury. According to Satori, the criminal suit was dropped because there was no case against him. “It was all my stuff. I had receipts for See Woodwork, page 19

Turpentine Creek opens new habitat for Colorado rescue animals By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

These big cats play in their new habitat at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge.

The big cats at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge have a new place to play. The refuge hosted a grand opening Jan. 21 for the new habitat, which features a double hammock, a three-tiered animal bench, fire hose area, rock bench and a makeshift scratching post comprised of enclosed logs. Ike Wever, promotions coordinator for the rescue, said he’s excited about the habitat’s features. “We’ve got a big cat scratching post, so they can get their claws up there, stretch their muscles out and keep those claws nice and sharp,” Wever said. “We’ve also got the space with boomer balls, which are very durable, plastic composite toys.” He pointed out that the cats also have Christmas trees to play with. The trees are left over from the Crescent Hotel’s Christmas celebration, Wever said, and the cats love them. “They love the scent on those trees,” Wever said. “We got all those trees from the local community and let our animals play with it. This is an awesome space for those guys.” He added that habitats don’t come cheap. Normally, Wever said, habitats cost between $20,000 and $30,000. He said the new habitat was funded through the help of longtime supporters of the refuge, thanking them for their support. “We have great supporters,” he said. Wever explained that the new habitat houses four of the big cats from the refuge’s recent Colorado rescue. The rescue took place in September 2016. During that rescue, he said, the refuge took responsibility for 110 animals. He said all the animals have been placed in sanctuaries, including those that came to Turpentine Creek. Some of these animals had health problems when the refuge took responsibility for them, Wever said. “We actually had three white tigers who arrived to us with severe metabolic

bone disease. It’s kind of debilitating to your skeletal structure,” he said. “What happens there is the animals don’t get enough nutrition. Their bones are real brittle and thin.” When the tigers arrived at Turpentine Creek, Wever said, they couldn’t use their back legs very well. He said they were part of a cub petting program in Colorado, which Turpentine Creek doesn’t have. He explained that cub petting involves paying a fee to hold or pet an animal. “We don’t condone cub petting or pay for play. It’s harmful to all animals involved,” he said. Since they came to the refuge, Wever said, the animals have been doing much better. “We were able to enrich their diets with a lot of protein and calcium to strengthen those bones back up,” he said. “You can see them running around and playing now. They’re definitely able to use their back legs now.” Because of the Colorado rescue, he said, the refuge has more young animals than it normally does. The Jackson Memorial Veterinary Hospital was built in 2016 to help take care of these animals, allowing them to be treated on-site at the refuge. “That building has been very important to us during this rescue effort, because we’ve been able to provide those guys with the care they need to grow up to be lions and tigers,” Wever said. For those wondering how they can help Turpentine Creek, Wever said the best way is to come out and see the big cats in person. “We are a non-profit, so whenever you come out here, anything from admission to lodging to donations goes straight to the animals,” he said. “We definitely want to get people out here to help support our cause and efforts. It takes a lot of money to raise these guys.” For more information on Turpentine Creek, visit http://www.turpentinecreek. org/.

Eureka Springs’ Brandon Ray fights for a loose ball in a game earlier this season

By Ty Loftis CCNSports@cox-internet.com

The Eureka Springs Highlanders won yet another conference championship on Friday by winning at Decatur, 56-38. “When you only have two guys coming back from a team that won 30 games last year, you don’t know what to expect expectation-wise,” Eureka Springs coach Brian Rambo said. “We knew we were going to have some young guys that were going to have to play some big minutes for us. Everybody kind of picked us around the middle of the pack and for us to come out, play well late says a lot about our kids. It’s exciting.” Avery Walker, J.M. Gregg and Garrett Cross each made a three-pointer in the first quarter. Eureka Springs (20-8) led 16-6 at the end of the quarter. “We came out early and played well,” Rambo said. “J.M. made a three right off the bat and got us going. Avery Walker played well.” Keeton Lofgren and Carter Drennon each made a basket in the second quarter as the Highlanders led 29-20 at halftime. Rambo

was proud of their effort. “We really played well with our big guys,” Rambo said. “Carter had 10 points and Keeton had eight. Those 18 points from the post players are by far the most this year. And we knew we were going to have to do that because we were getting so one-dimensional with our guards. We talked about that in practice. How we can stretch the defense by playing inside out, getting those other guys involved. We did a great job of that.” Walker scored seven points in the third quarter and the Highlander lead was stretched to 42-28 going into the fourth quarter. On Tuesday, Eureka Springs defeated Mountainburg 64-44 on senior night. Decatur 69, Eureka Springs 21 It was another tough night for the Eureka Springs Lady Highlanders. Decatur opened the game on a 29-0 run before Hayley Milwaski made a three-pointer. The Lady Bulldogs led 33-5 at the end of the first quarter. Aurora Fields made two three-pointers in the second quarter and Decatur led 55-13 at halftime. Raschelle Edmondson and Fields each made a three-pointer in the second half.

Cigarette Butts • Cigarette waste is the most abundant form of litter in Arkansas and on the planet. • Smokers discard billions of cigarette butts yearly, tossing many directly into the environment. • Cigarette filters are not biodegradable; they are made of plastic, not paper and cotton. • Cigarette litter lingers in our environment up to 25 years. • Cigarette butts are lightweight and can easily move through our storm drains into our waterways and water supplies. • Water will leach the toxins from cigarette litter, making it deadly to most aquatic life. • Discarded cigarette butts pose a significant threat to our environment in terms of fire. • According to the National Fire Protection Agency, upwards of 90,000 fires every year in the U S are caused by cigarettes. • Cigarette-induced fires claim hundreds of lives in the United States each year, and injure thousands more, not to mention the millions of dollars that go up in smoke in property damage.

Murder suspect identified

Enters ‘not guilty’ plea in brother’s slaying By Scott Loftis CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com

A 17-year-old Carroll County boy pleaded not guilty Monday to a charge of capital murder in connection with the apparent slaying of his older brother last month. Joseph Santiago, who is charged as an adult, entered the plea during a brief appearance before Circuit Judge Scott Jackson at the Carroll County Eastern District Courthouse in Berryville. His next court appearance is scheduled for Monday, March 13, at the Carroll County Western District Courthouse in Eureka Springs. Santiago was arrested on Jan. 17, after Carroll County Sheriff’s Office deputies responding to a call from the brothers’

father, Robert Keever, found the body of 21-year-old Alex Santiago in the living room of a mobile home at 92 Carroll County Road 219, in the Grandview area northwest of Berryville. A probable cause affidavit written by CCSO investigator Lt. Jerry Reddick says Alex Santiago had “extensive trauma to his head and had a sword sticking out of his mid-section.” A baseball bat found near the body was covered in blood, and a scabbard for the sword was found lying on the bed in the master bedroom where Joseph Santiago had been, the affidavit says. Keever’s name and the names of both sons were redacted from a copy of the affidavit released by the sheriff’s office,

but Keever and Alex Santiago were identified in an earlier news release from the CCSO, and Joseph Santiago was identified in open court on Monday. The affidavit says Joseph Santiago admitted to investigators that he killed his brother with the baseball bat and stabbed him with the sword before taking a shower, changing clothes and watching television. The affidavit says that during his initial call to the sheriff’s office, Keever indicated that Alex Santiago was autistic. In addition to admitting that he killed his brother, the affidavit says, Joseph Santiago also admitted to setting a fire at the family’s previous residence, at the Osage Trailer Park on Carroll County Road 306,

in April 2016. According to the affidavit, Joseph Santiago said he locked his brother in his room and then poured gasoline on the floor before setting the home on fire. CCSO Chief Deputy Maj. George Frye confirmed that deputies responded to the residence on Jan. 6 to check on an individual who was reportedly suicidal. Frye said privacy laws prevented him from discussing the subject’s medical condition, and that he could not identify the subject because that individual was a minor. Joseph Santiago is charged with capital murder, attempted capital murder and arson. He is being held without bond at the Benton County Detention Center in Bentonville.

ES hospitality class hears from Passion Play marketing director By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Some Eureka Springs High School students got an inside view of the Great Passion Play on Wednesday, Feb. 1. Kent Butler, marketing director for the Passion Play, spoke to the high school hospitality class about what it’s like to run a tourism-based business. Butler said he’s acted in the play for 12 years now, starting when he was 18 years old. He said he majored in history in college and uses that knowledge in the job he does now. “This is not necessarily my degree, but is something you can apply it to,” Butler said. “When I got my degree, my history professor said, ‘You can go into business.’ History is similar to business. You’re analyzing facts to come to a conclusion.” At the Passion Play, Butler said he wears many hats. “I’m the marketing and PR guy. I’m also the boots on the ground,” Butler said. “I do the hiring. I make sure every-

one’s there and knows what their job is.” He recalled when the Passion Play recently renovated its Christ of the Ozarks statue, saying the statue looks better now than ever. The statue is the largest statue of Jesus in the country, Butler said. “If it was any taller, it would have to have a red light on it,” he said. He described everything the Passion Play offers, including the Bible Museum, the Holy Land Tour and performances of the play. The Bible Museum is special, Butler said, because it features a page from the Gutenberg Bible. “You don’t have to love Bibles to go to the Bible Museum, but there are some really neat Bibles in there,” he said. “That’s a thing we have that’s really unique … we have every major English text as well as the Gutenberg Bible.” While the Passion Play is performed only from May to October, Butler said the Holy Land Tour is available all year long. The idea behind that, he said, is to promote the things happening in Eureka Springs as much as possible.

“With the city and the chamber, what we’ve tried to do is say Eureka Springs does not close down,” Butler said. “We just have different travel periods. We’ve tried to get on board with that, so we give Holy Land tours and backstage tours all year long.” He described how technology has come into play in recent years, remembering when a Japanese student saw the play. The student didn’t speak English, Butler said, but used a smart phone to translate what was happening. “It’s a really neat moment when you can use technology to do something like that,” Butler said. He said the play has been looking into ways to use technology better as a promotion tool. One focus, Butler said, is on making the mobile website similar to the desktop website. “This is responsive design. That’s when you can go to a website and it’s the same on your computer as it is here,” he said, holding out his phone. “It’s the same experience. I read an article that recom-

mended you use this type of website. It’s pretty neat technology.” He said the play is also working on cultivating its social media presence. “Facebook is our primary social media platform. We really focus on building our audience there and making sure we have enough engagement,” Butler said. “The Passion Play is challenged by social media because of its nature. It’s a play.” He continued, “You want to make sure you find your voice. You really want to make sure you’re focused in on your audience and engaging your audience.” Business teacher Sherry Sullivan said she’s considering focusing on social media for the hospitality class’ final project this year. “I am thinking very long and very hard about the project. I want to hit social media very hard,” Sullivan said. Butler is one of the many business leaders who have spoken to her class, she said. “Various business leaders have been helping. I consider a lot of things hospitality,” she said.

A different viewpoint

Dear Editor, In response to Ms. Jones’ column dated Jan. 26, I would like to share some thoughts from a different point of view. First of all, it seems to me that Ms. Jones sees herself as a victim because she often references her past from a victim’s mindset. She, like so many, will fault President Trump for virtually every action, policy, appointment, etc. he enacts. If he is able to accomplish even half of his agenda, I believe our country will benefit greatly. How can anyone argue with bringing jobs back, taking care of our veterans and keeping us safe? These are the things I hear from Donald Trump, but those who choose to dwell on an election lost will forever consider him a racist, bigot, homophobe, liar, and every other despicable title one could imagine. I think these people forget that Hillary Clinton put all those same people in her “Basket of Deplorables” and called them Trump supporters. While Trump’s language was not what I considered acceptable, neither

was that of the celebrities performing at her rallies. I will not defend Trump for his locker room boasts, but likewise, I have not forgotten that Bill Clinton physically abused multiple women, lied about it, and Hillary further damaged them with her verbal attacks. She then claimed to stand up for women’s equality while paying her own female staff less than their male counterparts and accepted money from nations that do unspeakable things to women. In the final days of the campaign, Hillary was hobnobbing with rich elitists on both coasts while Trump was traveling the United States, conducting as many as five rallies a day. Is it any wonder she mostly carried California and some eastern states, while Trump won the votes of working people across America? I might add, Donald Trump didn’t take money from lobbyists or foreign nations seeking favor — He for the most part financed his own campaign. True, he is rich, but so are the Clintons and I didn’t see them standing up for average Americans like

Citizen of the Week Eureka Springs Animal Control Officer Jim Evans is this week’s Citizen of the Week. “Jimmy is a great man that really cares about animals,” wrote Sandra Mittler, shelter manager at Good Shelter Humane Society, who nominated Evans for the award. “I don’t think people realize how much he does. How much of his own resources and time go into looking after animals that need it. He’s way more than a ‘dog catcher;’ he’s a dog rescuer. When I think of Jimmy I think about the man who went out at night in the rain to help reunite a lost pet with its owner.”

coal workers, law enforcement, military, and the record number of minorities being killed in cities like Chicago and New Orleans. For Ms. Jones to say that “Some Americans are so blinded by partisanship that they can’t muster up even a little compassion for their fellow citizens” is absurd. She was speaking to the notion that Trump supporters were “sore winners” (her words) and she thinks they are worse than “sore losers.” To me a sore loser is one who can’t accept the outcome of a race they thought was already won. So they rally, call for recounts, slow-walk nominees, and undermine everything the new administration does. No wonder it’s suggested they put on big people pants and get over it. In the words of Barack Obama, “Elections have consequences,” so I add my voice to those who say get over it and let’s get on with Making America Great Again. – SHARON DRASSEN Golden, Mo.

Oppose Donald Trump Donald Trump was made president by the electoral college while a majority of voters opposed his election. In the first

few days of office he ramrodded his personal agenda forward showing complete disdain for those who have disagreed with him. He has shown an eagerness to tear the nation apart on every issue, without regard to our people, the differences between us, or the damages he inflicts, at home or abroad. He claims to be a builder. He puts his name at the top of tall buildings but has never built anything without tearing down first. That’s exactly what he’s doing to us. If he was morally capable of leading this nation, he would work to bring us together, not rip us further apart. All of this fits his classic style. When he wanted to build his Trump Tower in New York City, the historic Bonwit Teller building stood in the way. When the public showed concern for the huge sculptures engraved in the sides, he had them jackhammered and destroyed in the night. Is that not what he’s doing to us? Americans have a tradition of peacefully working to settle issues through compassion and compromise. Trump has already proven himself to be a megalomaniac. I ask every elected representative and every citizen to oppose Donald J. Trump on every front. — DOUG STOWE See Forum, page 19

A trip to the vet

ast week, our sweet kitty BJ had to visit the vet. We had the visit planned for a month and let him know, but he didn’t understand what we were saying because he’s a cat. It’s possible he did understand and ignored us. Maybe he knows we’d plaster him all over Youtube if he told us his native language is English and not high-pitched squirrel sounds as he’s led us to believe. Regardless, we had to take him to the vet and he was not having it. Our vet is located in Eagle Rock, just past Holiday Island, meaning we have to travel miles of twisty roads to get there. For some reason, BJ did not enjoy being locked in a crate as our car bobbed up and down the Northwest Arkansas terrain. He was slated to have dental surgery, so we couldn’t give him food after 10 p.m. the night before his appointment. He was hungry and mad and presumably disoriented from the trip, making him throw up 10 minutes into the drive. If you were wondering, it’s really unpleasant to know your beloved pet has created a mess in his cage and you can’t do anything about it because you’re trying to pay attention to the road. Gideon and I are lucky to have an understanding vet. When BJ got there, the vet told us she saw this kind of thing all the time and would clean up BJ and the cage he came in. I thought she must have been our guardian angel. BJ would have, too, if he hadn’t been so angry about traveling on a snaky road inside a glorified prison. I’m just assuming this is how he felt. Until he tells me he can actually speak and understand English, I can’t ask him what was going on inside his head. It’s a reasonable guess, though. His cute green eyes, which are normally dilated, had turned beady and sharp. If looks could kill, everybody in that vet’s office would be dead right now. Luckily, BJ calmed down. Gideon and I left him at the vet for his dental surgery, returning home until we got the call that BJ’s surgery was over. BJ was long overdue for the surgery. The vet told us last year that we should get some of his teeth pulled sometime soon, and we kept forgetting about it until BJ’s next regular appointment earlier this month. At that appointment,

we set up a day for BJ’s dental surgery. BJ had no idea he’d endured the nauseating drive to the vet just to schedule another drive in the very near future. In truth, I put off the surgery for a while because I was afraid BJ wouldn’t make it. It’s just an outpatient procedure, but BJ is an old cat. I’ve had him for almost 14 years and he’s started to show his age. Samantha Jones Like an idiot, I read up on how dental surgery affects old cats before we took BJ in for his appointment. You can imagine how much the information I read freaked me out. See, BJ isn’t just our cat. He’s part of our family. He sleeps on my head every night, which I believe is cute and not an assassination attempt. He snuggles up to Gideon when he’s doing schoolwork and almost instantly takes to new people who visit our apartment. He’s the type of cat everybody wants to have. I feel so lucky to have him in my life. I want to have him around for 14 more years, so you can imagine how nervous I felt waiting for the vet to call us to pick him up. Around 3:30 p.m., we got the call. The surgery had actually ended early, which Gideon took as a good sign. Being the anxious trainwreck I am, I still thought something had gone wrong. But when we got to the vet, she brought BJ out in his cage and said he’d done really well. On the car ride home, I sat in the back with BJ and petted him through the door of his crate. Though I desperately wanted to pull him out and hug him tight, Gideon told me that’s against the law. “What a buzzkill,” BJ and I thought simultaneously. The drive back was less eventful than the drive there. BJ was calm and only meowed a little when we got close to home. We took him up, let him out of his crate and I cradled him for a little bit. I told him I loved him. He purred and nuzzled my neck. That cat has got to understand English, right?!?!

TRANSITION Paul “Dan” Sweeden, of Eureka Springs, was born July 19, 1957 in Hot Springs, Ark. On Saturday, February 4, 2017 at 12:45 a.m., Dan passed from this earth to a place free of pain and suffering with Sam Evans, his loving husband and partner of 37 years, and their best friend, Richard Allen both by his side. Sam will always miss Dan’s love and presence in his life. Sam is grateful for the many years they were able to spend together here on this earth; they truly shared an unconditional love for each other. Dan’s beautiful cat and constant companion, Sophie, died unexpectedly later the same day as Dan’s passing. Their cremains will be scattered in a special place that Dan had chosen. In respect of Dan’s wishes, he will be cremated and there will be no memorial service. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Flint Street Food Pantry, 33 North Main Street, Eu-

In the 1950s, Eureka Springs boasted of being the ‘Most Ripley-ed Town in America.’ Turns out our eclectic town is home to a handful of sites that have been featured again and again in the last 70 years in ‘Ripley’s Believe It or Not.’ Eureka Springs was mentioned several times during Ripley’s lifetime … four times in the 1930s and twice in the 1940s. Since then, the town has been featured six times by subsequent artists. The most recent nod featured Frog Fantasies museum and gift shop on Jan. 1, 1995. It was the town’s infrastructure that Ripley found particularly interesting. In a cartoon from April 10,1931, he pointed out that the city’s winding streets form the letters ‘U” and ‘V’ 51 times, the letter ’S’ 13 times and the letter ‘O’ seven times. Ripley was also intrigued by the Kelley Building, which has three different street addresses on Main, Spring and Basin at three floor levels. Another of Ripley’s favorites was the St. Elizabeth Catholic Church, whose distinct entrance has earned it three mentions. The church is unusual because there’s only one way to enter: through the top of the bell tower. The Basin Park Hotel also caught Ripley’s attention in the fall of 1930, because every floor is considered a ground floor. Ripley was truly fascinated with Miss Annie House. He sent Annie a letter in 1941 stating that he was interested in the information she had been putting in the local newspaper. Annie was featured as a cartoon in 1943, bringing much attention to the little town of Eureka Springs.

all of it. I have evidence of ownership for everything. None of it was original,” he said. “So he keeps singing this claim that it was all historic when it wasn’t and isn’t.” After the Cross Partnership received the summary judgment, Satori said that they had 30 days to retrieve the property. “They waited three weeks and served me papers while I was eating lunch,” he said. “I told them the wood all belonged to my sister and that she had it in her storage locker.

Time to hurt animals

Dear Editor: As he was signing edicts hurting one group after another over the past two weeks, it was only a matter of time before Donald Trump got around to hurting animals — already the most oppressed sentient beings on earth. The animals’ turn came yesterday — by taking down the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) site that reports on government regulation of roughly 9,000 animal handling facilities. These are laboratories, dog breeders, fur farms, circuses, zoos, and aquariums. The site is used every day by animal protection activists to monitor government enforcement of the 1966 Animal Welfare Act, the only effective federal law protecting animals. Taking down the APHIS inspection site is a huge setback for animal protection. It will almost certainly lead to reduced government inspection of animal facilities and more animal suffering — a virtual repeal of the Animal Welfare Act. Ironically, this oppressive act was launched by the same dark-of-night process as that of pulling more than 100,000 visas from thoroughly vetted Muslim immigrants one week earlier — no notice, no hearings, no due process, no public announcement. The oppressive mindset doesn’t really

my lawyer and get back to them.” Satori continued, “The next day, I called them, and they had already broken into the storage unit. They cut the lock off the door and stole the wood. There’s nothing there that was originally in the building. It’s just another case of John Cross taking from people.” He said he was disappointed in the courts’ handling of the case because they were not sending him notifications in a timely manner. “I needed things sent to my P.O. box, and they were sending them to addresses I had lived in in the past and been evicted from by Cross,” Satori said. “They were

sending court papers to houses that I never lived in. I have records of the courts and his lawyers sending documents to six different addresses.” He continued, “I wasn’t able to respond to anything because they didn’t send the papers to my P.O. box. I gave a deposition at their request, and, in the deposition, I told them that I needed everything sent to my P.O. box. It’s not difficult. It’s legal shysterism.” Cross said that the Cross Partnership will try to collect the $9,740.35 awarded by the court. “We’re going to try to enforce that judgment as time goes by unless Satori

takes bankruptcy,” he said. “It’s hard to say how long it will take to reinstall the woodwork since we’re going to have to manufacture some items for it now. It will take a week or so at least.” Cross said that, overall, he is pleased to have the woodwork back in the Clark and Klock building. “That may be the last commercial building in the historical district to have the original fixtures inside,” he said. “To those who know antiques and woodwork, it’s really pleasing to see that something like that has been saved for all this time in a building that was built about 117 years ago.”

Fascist fits

philandering, lying, womanizing and greedy man who does not have a clue how to run a fair and just government. And then work off your mistake by joining with millions of people who will resist Fascism and work to keep democracy alive. Do this before it is too late! — TRELLA LAUGHLIN

Old home deserved better A century-old home on Singleton was torn down this morning without even a whimper. It was sad, really, that nothing was done to try and save it. Singleton loses our designation as the only street in Eureka that had houses all over a century old. I cannot understand why nothing was done to try and save it years ago, when there was still a chance to restore it. I cannot understand why, when the decision was made to allow it to be torn down, no effort was made to salvage anything – solid core handmade doors, antique windows, door knobs, handmade nails, molding, trim, nothing was saved. It was all loaded to the dump. It saddened me to hear it go. I admire those at 8 Washington that have saved that old house, and the house diagonal to it that has received new life after I was certain it would be torn down. Eureka and its historic district, commissions, and councils need to take notice. It is easier to leave a house to be deemed “unrepairable” than it is to get permission to restore a house. A stop work order is put in place on a house under restoration for one window being two inches shorter than the original, but there was little deliberation before tearing down this historic house. — CHRISTI WAGNER Singleton resident

A brilliant friend of mine suggested I no longer call He Who Shall Remain Nameless a Fascist. She says it is too dated, as in World War II. I did not agree because his policies, his agenda is down-the-line Fascism. Look up the word “Fascist.” There are other words that also describe what he is and what he is trying to do: despot, ultra-nationalistic, white supremacist, tyrannical, xenophobic (fear and hatred of foreigners), mono-cultural, loves cronyism, bigoted, racist, and maniacal. We must realize that he is a mentally-ill, egomaniac attempting to change everything to suit his inflated ego needs and his very short attention span, using unconstitutional ways to accomplish his illegal and unethical agenda. When it seems it cannot get any crazier, he wants to appoint a gentleman to the FDA (the Food and Drug Administration) who thinks it is not necessary for drugs to be pretested for their safety before they go on the market. Another of his candidates and a business associate suggests building box homes on the ocean because it would be much healthier there than on land. Huh? As usual he has no facts to back up anything. He lies and too few media outlets call him on his lies. He wants to deregulate all helpful regulations for consumer protection and our welfare; all except those that will make him and his cronies more money. I suggest those people who voted for The Orange Head go outside to a beautiful tree. Put your arms around it or your hands on it. Ask forgiveness for your idiotic vote for a

Thanks to the ESPD

On behalf of the Marguerite L. McClung family, I would like to thank Chief Thomas Achord and the Eureka Springs Police Department for their assistance during the funeral of our mother. The ESPD took care of the traffic flow at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church before and after the service. In doing so, they also organized the parking of the vehicles of those attending the service in such a manner that there was not a traffic bottleneck and the hearse was able to come from behind the church and move to the front of the procession with ease. They continued to control traffic on the procession’s route to the cemetery. The professionalism and expertise of this agency was such a load off of our family due to the number of attendees at the service. The citizens of the city of Eureka Springs can be proud of the men and women that serve them for their law enforcement and community service. Once again the McClung family is grateful to Chief Achord and the ESPD for their expertise in the execution of their duties. Respectfully, – BRIAN J. MCCLUNG Little Rock Police Department, Ret.

The Eureka Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will feature a video and discussion, facilitated by Bryan Manire, on “The Corruption of Our Democracy” at 11 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 26, at 17 Elk St. The video challenges how citizens understand, participate and engage in democratic living.

Vorbeck said he is waiting to hear back from Inn of the Ozarks on potential dates. “I’m waiting to hear what dates will be available. There are still quite a few things that need to be worked out,” he said. During public comments at the meeting, Steven Judge said he was concerned with the condition of the cemetery and asked the commission about plans for expansion. “The cemetery has been neglected for so many years, which has nothing to do with the people at this table,” Judge said. “Eventually, you will have to expand the cemetery from one side to the other. In order to do that, you have to have a way to go from point A to point B, unless you want to go onto the highway.” He asked if the commission had plans for a potential road connecting the current grounds to the north side of the cemetery.

“The expansion plan is in the future,” Adamson said. “At the moment, the cemetery has many available grave sites.” Thomas said the commission did plan on using some of its additional funding to have an engineering study on the north side. “We’re planning to do an engineering study on this piece of property,” he said. “There are old reports that say it’s bedrock and we can’t bury anybody over there, and others say that’s not true. We’ve going to have to look into it because we’re getting feedback from both directions.” “You’re looking at the future, and we’re looking at the future because the cemetery is really important to us,” Adamson said. “You’re talking about a conjoining road between the two areas.” Thomas said the commission will not be looking into plans for a conjoining

road until they find out if the land is usable for the cemetery. Judge also said he is interested in assisting the cemetery commission with maintaining the grounds. “I’m trying to assist. I’m willing to put my time and labor into helping,” he said. Adamson said the commission would love the help but would need Judge to sign a release first. “You can talk about it and think about it. We do need help cleaning things up, but we have to be very careful about not damaging gravestones because every one of them is private property,” she said. “It’s a tricky thing because there is so much we’d like to do, but we are limited legally because of that.” The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, at the Auditorium.

Natural remedies for inflammation

I

n the past, drugs such as Celebrex, Viox and Aleve (naproxen) have all hit mainstream Jim Fain news as increasing the risk of heart troubles if taken on a regular basis over a period of time. Of course, these medicines are usually given to people who have chronic pain most often associated with arthritis and they have to be taken daily over a long period of time. Arthritis is the most common but is not necessarily the only ailment for which pain relief therapy is undertaken. Many people stuck in the medical model don’t even know alternatives exist. Underlying pain is a condition called inflammation. Inflammation, in the short haul is part of the healing process. But, if inflammation lasts too long and becomes chronic, life becomes miserable and other ailments tend to pop up including coronary artery disease and heart attacks. Celebrex, Viox and Aleve all have been useful in dealing with chronic pain but science has now shown there might be a deal with the devil. Take these to get rid of the aches and pain but risk of having a heart attack increases. Ironically, reducing inflammation should reduce the chance of a heart attack. Many MDs insist that these drugs, unless removed from the market by the FDA, are still useful provided that doses are carefully monitored and lab tests done on a regular basis. Be that as it may be, why not try a few tried and true natural anti-inflammatories? There are many herbals and supplements to choose from but I’ll give a short list to consider. If I had to use something to reduce chronic pain (inflammation), and I do, then I would start with turmeric (1200mg in the am and 1200 mg at bedtime). I’d also add 3000mg/day of fish oil (yielding about 500mg DHA/day). If I were still in pain then I’d be adding granular MSM from 3000mg - 6000mg/day. These are my personal and professional favorites as they have no side effects except for improved health such as possible reduction of cancer, reduction of hardening of the arteries, improved hair and nails along with considerable pain reduction. The turmeric and MSM start to work right away, the fish oil kicks in over time and dosages of all can be raised if needed. There are many other naturals to choose from, too. For instance a formula product that works exceptionally well is named InflamMove ... try it and you’ll like it. Just be open-minded.

Wisecrack ZODIAC ARIES: If someone offers to clean your clock, don’t invite them in and ask if they can do the sofa and the rug, too. Once you have a black eye, you’ll be the one who’s steamed. TAURUS: Everyone has a secret, but not all secrets should be told. You can blab about the big tough guy down the street, but you should be scared silly of the little grandma down the street with the knife collection. GEMINI: Now’s a good time for soul-searching, especially since they’re nothing notable on TV. Stare into your belly button and do some mental lint-picking. It beats the new show CSI: Lemonade Stand. CANCER: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but that doesn’t give them free range to absorb yours and leave you blank-faced like a Westworld bot. Tell your friends to get their own thoughts, and keep their sticky fingers out of your brain. LEO: Remember that scene from the Indiana Jones movie with the giant ball? Yeah, you’re the ball. You can’t put on the brakes, all you can do is hope the idiots get out of your way. VIRGO: If you knew your ‘Friends’ television trivia better, you wouldn’t be dodging golf balls on a driving range this Tuesday. Next time, don’t offer to caddy for a cowboy with a grudge. LIBRA: Everyone else has the latest wireless tech, and you’re left holding your own dongle. Get with the crowd and step away from the flip phone, otherwise you’ll be the only one touching that dongle for months to come. SCORPIO: If you can’t recall any outstanding accomplishments that don’t involve a mugshot, you may just be on this planet as a cautionary tale for others. Have some T-shirts printed saying “Don’t be like me,” for those times when you’re too drunk to say it. SAGITTARIUS: A tainted tree bears no fruit, but you’re just giggling over the word “taint,” aren’t you?

Don’t say you weren’t warned about karma’s temper on Friday. CAPRICORN: If the world feels dark and clammy and you can’t see any friends on the horizon, you may have your head up your own butt. Untangle yourself and get some fresh air. Your friends may even come back after you shower. AQUARIUS: You’re a paper clip; you hold everything together, but

you’re wound pretty tight. Let yourself get bent out of shape for the right reasons, like resetting an mp3 player or picking your ex’s lock. PISCES: It’s fine if you need a vacation away from the world; no one has a tricked-out brain like you. Let everyone else rage while you enjoy IMAX surround-sound of your favorite naked Ryan Reynolds dream.
