Council agrees to create Sustainability Committee

By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Eureka Springs City Council isn’t getting rid of plastic bags just yet.

On Monday night, the council heard from citizens concerned about the council’s vote on April 23 to create a proposed ordinance banning plastic bags in the city. Several business owners said it would cost them more to use paper bags, and even that alternative isn’t ideal for the environment.

Alderman David Mitchell, who proposed the ordinance, said he meant to have a discussion about how the city handles plastic bags. The council had “some free flowing ideas,” Mitchell said, that caused him to propose the ordinance.

“We really weren’t putting out that we were rushing into an ordinance,” Mitchell said. “What I thought we were doing was having a discussion about the topic and introducing the subject to the community. It seems to have taken on a life of its own.”

Mitchell suggested establishing a committee to look into the issue, and alderwoman Mickey Schneider said she found Mitchell’s tone “highly ironic” after he proposed the ordinance without community input.

“Not one single time did you even consider letting the people of this town have input, even though I spent 20 minutes …”

Schneider said.

Mayor Butch Berry interrupted Schneider, telling her to stick to the topic.

“Point of order. Point of order,” Mitchell said. “Point of order.”

“Both of you quit,” Berry said. “Both of you.”

“Point of order,” Mitchell said.

“Stick to the topic, please,” Berry said.

Schneider said she would and described some of the problems concerning plastic bags. If the council bans plastic bags, Schneider asked, would that include the plastic trash bags distributed by the city?

Schneider said the council needs to have many workshops before coming to a decision on the matter.

Alderwoman Melissa Greene said she didn’t interpret Mitchell’s motion as an immediate ban on plastic bags.

“I in no way thought this was a done deal,” Greene said. “It was more like we’re going to discuss it.”

Alderman Bob Thomas asked city clerk Ann Armstrong to read Mitchell’s motion, and she said the motion was “to explore that [the council] draft an ordinance regarding the use of plastic bags within the city of Eureka Springs and their elimination.” Thomas said he appreciated the clarification.

“I don’t think it’s appropriate for us at one meeting to make a motion to write an ordinance and pass that motion, and at the next meeting saying there’s no mention of an ordinance,” Thomas said. “That confuses the community and it confuses me.”

Berry recalled a recent visit to Branson, where he met the city’s environmental director. He learned Branson has a Sustainability Committee, Berry said, broken into smaller committees addressing specific issues.

“What I was hoping to do was establish a sustainability committee with some key people, including department heads,” Berry said.

Mitchell said he liked that idea but wanted to address his motion .

“The motion was to explore,” Mitchell said. “I think a lot of people forgot the word ‘explore,’ because there’s a lot of meaning to that.”

Mitchell moved to establish the Sustainability Committee, and the council agreed to do so.

Also at the meeting, the council heard from planning commission chairwoman Ann Tandy-Sallee about two new proposed changes to the city code. Tandy-Sallee said the planning commission submitted a list of proposed changes to the council earlier this year and wanted to add two more.

Those proposed changes include placing a sign notifying neighbors of new construction once it has been approved. Alderman Terry McClung said he wasn’t sure about that, saying he’s afraid some citizens might believe the sign gives them more power than it does.

“If a person has made an application and it’s all within the definition of the ordinance on a commercial building and somebody

speaks out against it, does that mean you can deny it?” McClung asked.

Tandy-Sallee said that’s not the intent of the proposed change.

“It’s just the intent of letting the public know what’s going on,” Tandy-Sallee said.

“I think people have a right to know.”

Greene said the proposed change is simply a courtesy to neighbors.

“If someone wants to build something commercial and it’s in our codes, they can do it,” Greene said. “It’s just a sign that’s going to be a notification that a project has started.”

Greene suggested that council accept the planning commission’s proposed code changes, and city attorney Tim Weaver said he hasn’t seen a final copy yet. Greene moved to get the final draft to Weaver for review by the council’s next meeting and amended her motion asking Weaver to put the proposed changes in an ordinance. The council voted on the amendment and the amended motion, unanimously agreeing to both.

The council moved on to hear from Weaver about the parks commission’s partnership with the Eureka Springs Community Center’s new greenhouse program.

Weaver said he spoke with a representative from the Arkansas Municipal League and found it’s perfectly legal for the parks commission to pursue the partnership.

Mitchell said that’s not why Weaver was asked to check on the issue, recalling a motion he made Jan. 8 for the council to suspend all engagement with the community center until the council has the community center foundation’s articles of incorporation, lease with the school district and financial records. Mitchell said that motion applied to all city entities, saying Weaver agreed to that earlier in the year.

Weaver said the council agreed to allow the parks commission to continue discussing the partnership with the community center. This decision waived Mitchell’s original motion, Weaver said.

“That’s not what we did. It was never implied that the motion was being in any way redone,” Mitchell said. “I think you’re

taking a discussion or a political view and stretching it way too far.”

“What’s the problem with letting parks go ahead and do something that’s good for the community?” Schneider asked. “Why can’t we just leave them alone to do their job?”

McClung moved to override Mitchell’s motion to suspend engagement with the community center, and Thomas said he can’t support that because parks commission chairman Bill Featherstone serves on the community center foundation’s board of directors.

“Mr. Featherstone is a volunteer on both those entities, and I think it’s very important to appreciate that,” McClung said. “He has nothing to gain here financially. The only thing he’s looking at is what he thinks is in the best interest of the city.”

Mitchell said his motion wasn’t about the integrity of anyone on the community center foundation. Rather, Mitchell said, he’s concerned about city resources being used to help a non-profit. When parks director Justin Huss came on, Mitchell said, Huss applied for two grants from the state tourism department for the exercise trail around the community center. Both applications failed, Mitchell said.

“I don’t know why Justin decided to do that on his own. I don’t think he did. I think he got direction somewhere,” Mitchell said.

Berry interrupted Mitchell, and Mitchell said he wasn’t finished speaking.

“Just keep it on track,” Berry said.

“I am, and you’re just trying to distort again and get me off track,” Mitchell said.

“The city parks employees are paid by the city. To be using them in a capacity to support a 501(c)3 private entity, despite all the wonderful things it could do for the community and all the great people, is wrong.”

McClung’s motion failed 4-2, with Thomas, Mitchell and Greene voting against it and Schneider and McClung voting for it.

The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 3 p.m. Tuesday, May 29, at The Auditorium.

CAPC approves marketing support request for Halloween City

By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission is already looking forward to Halloween.

On Wednesday, May 9, the commission heard from director Mike Maloney about an $8,000 marketing support fund request for Halloween City. Maloney said the idea behind Halloween City is to market the city’s events in October.

“There’s a lot of different events that would be encompassed with this,” Maloney said. “Really, the whole fabric of Eureka Springs is turning into a destination with a lot of Halloween-type events. It crosses all demographics.”

The commission couldn’t spend $8,000 on the request, Maloney said, because there’s only around $7,000 left for the year. He proposed giving the event $4,000, saying its organizers are ecstatic about that amount. The commission voted, unanimously agreeing to spend $4,000 promoting Halloween City. Commissioner Terry McClung said he’s excited about it.

“This has some of the makings of May Festival of the Arts,” McClung said. “It’s got a good parade, very well attended. It’s just got a lot going for it, so it’s a good deal.”

Also at the meeting, Maloney addressed some changes to the way the commission handles marketing support

fund requests. Marketing support funds will only be awarded three times a year, Maloney said, and applications must be submitted 120 days before the event.

The approvals will take place at the commission’s regular meetings in February, April and August, Maloney said.

McClung said he’d like to reconsider the 120-day requirement, saying that shouldn’t necessarily apply to new events.

“If somebody comes up with an aha moment and says, ‘We need to try this,’ then we can base it on that,” McClung said. “But if it has a history, if it’s been done one or more times previously … it must be prior to 120 days, or they’re out.”

Commissioner Bobbie Foster asked why the commission will approve requests only three times a year, and Maloney said there are several reason for that. The commission receives many requests throughout the year, Maloney said, with each meeting including some kind of request each month. Under the new rules, he said, the commission would discuss requests at one meeting and approve them at the next.

“Only six meetings a month would be tied up with marketing support funding,” Maloney said.

Commissioner David Mitchell said he likes the plan.

“I think it causes people applying to

be a little more efficient and proactive, to put their stuff in and be prepared that the rules are going to be followed,” Mitchell said.

Maloney said he plans to be completely transparent with the community about the changes.

“We will notify everyone who has applied for marketing support fund requests to let them know the new procedure,” Maloney said.

Finance director Rick Bright presented the financial report, saying the cash balance as of April 30 was $448,368.17.

He listed tax collections remitted in April, from March collections. He said restaurants brought in $62,870, up $6,043 (10.6 percent). Total lodging collections were $54,878, up $3,419 (6.6 percent). These lodging collections include: $12,830 for hotels, up $622 (5.1 percent); $23,723 for motels, up $601 (2.6 percent); $4,497 for B&Bs, up $261 (6.2 percent); and $13,828 for cabins and cottages, up $1,935 (16.3 percent). Bright said the year-to-date lodging collections compared with 2017 are down $2,591 (1.9 percent) and the yearto-date restaurant collections compared with 2017 are up $10,558 (6.6 percent).

The year-to-date total collections, he said, are up $7,974 (6.6 percent).

The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 13, at The Auditorium.

Third Saturday Music announced for May

Farm Family of the Year Flowers family continues legacy of caring for animals

By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Kevan Flowers has never known life without farming, and it certainly shows.

Flowers and his family were recently named Carroll County’s 2018 Farm Family of Year. Flowers said he’s honored to see his family’s hard work recognized in such a major way.

“It’s an honor … that would be the main word to describe it,” Kevan said. “It’s an honor.”

He shares the honor with wife Lynn, daughter Shelia and 11-year-old granddaughter Mandy. Shelia and Mandy live in North Dakota, but Mandy returns to the 825acre family farm in Oak Grove every summer to help take care of the chickens and cattle. Altogether, Kevan said, the family takes care of six herds of cattle and countless chickens.

“We run about 125 yearlings a year with four chicken houses,” Kevan said. “Just cattle and chickens are our business.”

Born in Harrison, Kevan said he’s been farming since he was a toddler. He worked at Tyson Foods as a construction manager for a few years, followed by a stint at AQI Electric in Berryville. That was when he decided to strike out on his own, Kevan said.

“I’ve farmed all my life,” Kevan said. “So I started my own chicken business and went to work as a contract grower for Tyson.”

For Lynn, working on a farm wasn’t really in the plans. She remembered growing up near the city, saying that all changed when she met Kevan. They’ve been together for around 18 years, Kevan said, and married for five.

“Anything and everything I do with him is awesome,” Lynn said.

She loves working with the animals, Lynn said, and seeing how much Kevan cares for them. Lynn remembered how Kevan rolls out hay for the cattle when it’s cold outside, saying the animals love it.

“I say, ‘He’s putting the blanket out for you!’ and they go and lay on it,” Lynn said.

“When they lay down on it, it means they’ve got their bellies full,” Kevan

laughed.

It’s easy to develop relationships with the cattle … maybe too easy, if you ask Kevan.

“When you’ve raised them from a calf, you become more attached to them than you really should be in a business,” Kevan said.

“You do form relationships with the cattle.”

Mandy said she’s drawn to the chickens.

She once loved a chicken so much, Mandy said, that she painted its nails.

“It was so I’d always remember it, because I loved that one chicken,” Mandy said.

“I love being with the animals and being able to bottle feed some of them.”

Kevan said he’s dedicated to treating all the animals well. That’s more important than anything else, Kevan said.

“You have to have animal welfare awareness. We try to be good with the environment,” Kevan said. “The animals are our business, so that’s what we’re going to protect.”

Another part of farming he enjoys, Kevan said, is being his own boss. Lynn said she enjoys that part, too.

“We like to go to the racetracks. Instead of having to ask your boss to go somewhere, you just do it,” Lynn said. “That’s the freedom of the farm itself.”

The reason he’s so dedicated to farming, Kevan said, is his father’s commitment to caring for animals. Kevan remembered buying his first three cows when he was 15, saying his dad encouraged him through it.

“I just started that and I’ve had cattle since I was 15,” Kevan said. “I’ve lived about two miles from the farm my whole life, except about seven years when I lived in Green Forest.”

Part of his farm was homesteaded long ago by his ancestors, Kevan said, and he’s determined to keep that land in the family.

“That’s one of my father’s wishes, that it stayed in the family,” Kevan said. “There’s been a lot of trials and tribulations between the Depression and everything else for it to stay in the family.”

He continued, “This is not something I just started from scratch. Had it not been for my father being there to help me through, we

wouldn’t be where we are today.”

His father passed away a few years ago, and Kevan said he’d be proud to see the farm’s success. That’s something everyone in the family can agree with.

“He would be glowing from within big time,” Lynn said. “He’d be tickled pink.”

“Proud,” Shelia said.

“Honored,” Mandy said.

Kevan said he didn’t expect to be named Farm Family of the Year.

“We don’t do anything more than a lot of people in this county do,” Kevan said. “A lot of people probably do more than we do, but we’re honored to represent the county this year.”

Olivia Foster-Curry, the Carroll County agriculture extension agent, said she’s excited to honor local families each year.

“We just have so many amazing produc-

ers in our county. It’s nice we get to recognize the cream of the crop,” Foster-Curry said.

Kevan and his family work hard, she said.

“They’re being modest right now. It’s a lot of work to run a farm, and there’s a lot of time invested,” Foster-Curry said. “When you’re a farmer, you’ve got a lot of times where you don’t get to do the fun things you want to do, because you’ve got to come home and take care of the animals.”

With summer getting closer, Kevan said he’s excited to work with Mandy on the farm.

“She’ll help us move equipment, and before too many years, she’ll learn how to rake hay,” Kevan laughed.

That’s fine with Mandy.

“I love it,” she said. “I just love working on the farm with my family.”

Leader in Me program encourages problem-solving

By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

With the help of the Leader in Me program, students at Eureka Springs Elementary School are learning all about what it means to work as a team.

Fourth-grade students Yaretsi, Kameron, Madeline and Anastasia gave the Citizen an exclusive tour of their school last week, highlighting the different parts of the program. The program allows students to step up and become independent, Yaretsi said, and each student has something special to work on, like putting the flag up in the morning or organizing the lost and found rack.

Kameron introduced the Kindness Board, where students are recognized for various acts of kindness throughout the year. The students are awarded a certificate, Kameron said, and their photo is placed on the board. He remembered when he was featured on the board, saying he helped fellow students with their homework.

“Me and my friend Corbin, we love math,” Kameron said. “We try to help people when they need it.”

Kameron moved on to the Mission Statement Board, a place where teachers and staff place uplifting mission statements for the students. His favorite, Kameron said, is from art teacher Shannon Haney.

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive,” Kameron read, “and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style.”

For Yaretsi, the board is a way to spread hope.

“If someone is walking by and they need something to inspire them, they can just look at the board and find the quote that fits their needs and they stick with that quote as long as they need,” Yaretsi said. “It inspires them, and it can also inspire you.”

In the other hallway, Yaretsi pointed out the Kindness Board. That board allows students to write their own messages of hope for other students to take on difficult days,

Yaretsi said. She said the students can even take one of the messages and give it to another student if that student is having a hard day. Anastasia remembered a note she left on the board, saying it has already been taken by another student.

“It said, ‘You are bright for multiple reasons, bright as in smart and bright as in a happy person,’ ” Anastasia said.

“My favorite is this one,” Yaretsi said. “It says, ‘You, yes you, are loved.’ ” Madeline said the board helps students give back to others, even on their worst days.

“If they’re upset but no one was there to help out as much as they wished, they can come here and leave something so when someone else has a bad day, it wouldn’t repeat the day they had,” Madeline said.

“It would just make them feel better.”

Another important component of the program, Madeline said, is the lost and found rack. Madeline said the lost and found used to be located in a large bucket in the cafete-

ria, saying it was difficult to find anything in that bucket.

“We decided to hang up the jackets, so it’s more organized,” Kameron said. “They can look at this and say, ‘Hey, that’s my jacket.’ When it was in the big bucket, it was much harder to find.”

“We organize it from the smallest jacket we could ever find to these heavy coats,” Yaretsi said.

It’s Anastasia’s job to organize the lost and found, and she said she loves it. Overall, Anastasia said, she enjoys how the Leader in Me program brings out the best in everyone.

“I like how it changed our school. People used to be arguing in class,” Anastasia said.

“We’d have punishments, like if one person was rude then the whole class would have to do laps. Leader in Me changed that.”

Yaretsi agreed.

“I feel like it makes you a little more independent,” Yaretsi said. “Instead of going See Leader, page 14

ESES students to perform ‘Lion King, Kids!’ May 21

By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Eureka Springs Elementary School is ending the year with a roar.

The school will host a Leadership Gallery followed by the premiere performance of Lion King, Kids! on Monday, May 21, at the high school auditorium. The Leadership Gallery is scheduled from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., where students will offer leadership presentations from the Leader in Me program. After that, the show will start.

Lion King, Kids! features fourthgrade students, with Madeline Fisher as Pumbaa the warthog, William Linker as Timon, “the meercat who hates everything,” Anastasia Cummings as antagonist Scar, Rolando Herrera as Mufasa and Kameron Agresto as Simba. Erin Manus and Yaretsi Tapia are the hyenas, portraying Banzai and Shenzi.

Manus said the students have been working hard on the musical, saying she enjoys learning the songs. There’s a lot to enjoy about the musical, Fisher said.

“I like some of the bad puns from the meercat, and I like being one of the fun, happy characters,” Fisher said.

Cummings said she’s excited to play the bad guy.

“I like developing the character and getting to be someone I’m not in real life,” Cummings said.

“I get to be the lion king,” Herrera said. “But I die, because my brother kills me.”

“That’s me, Scar,” Cummings said.

For Linker, two words sum up his favorite part of the play.

“Being sarcastic,” Linker said.

Tapia said she’s embracing how it feels to be an actress.

“It’s really fun, because you get to play a character and play on different emotions,” Tapia said. “You get to be kind of silly sometimes, and kind of sad other times.”

The teamwork is going well, Fisher said.

“It’s fun working with everybody else, because you know they just want to have fun, and you all get to have fun together,” Fisher said.

When it comes to the actual performance, there’s no shortage of nerves.

Manus said she gets nervous when she forgets a line, and Tapia agreed.

“I feel like I’m always nervous even though I know my lines,” Tapia said.

The nerves start to wash away, Manus said, during the actual performance.

“When you’re dancing, you just let loose and remember the lines and the moves, and that’s all you think about,” Manus said.

Cummings said it’s not always easy to sing and dance at the same time.

“Sometimes people have to feed me my lines, because I’m so wrapped up in the songs,” Cummings said.

Because his character dies early on, Herrera said, he isn’t featured in most of the numbers.

“I’m only in one song, but I’m there in spirit,” Herrera said.

“We’ll just run through Rolando,” Linker joked.

How does Linker feel about learning the musical?

“It’s easy, says the sarcastic meercat,” Linker said.

Herrera encouraged the community to see the musical.

“Come see my performance, because I want to be the king and nobody can rule me, because I’m the king,” Herrera said.

“But you die!” Cummings interjected.

Fisher said everyone has worked hard on it, saying she hopes to see a lot of people at the performance.

We ask that all members attend for quorum to be met to vote on the following: We hope this letter finds you all well and anxious to attend the Annual Membership Meeting coming up at 6:00 p.m. on May 23, 2018, in The Woods room at the Inn of the Ozarks in Eureka Springs, AR. 1) Proposed Amendments to the bylaws of Good Shepherd Humane Society A) Terms of Office – Directors (page 5) Instead of the staggered 1, 2, and 3-year designations that require “positions” and “slots”, which have become convoluted and outdated, we propose all directors’ terms to be one (1) year with a maximum of five (5) years with renewals of their terms at the yearly anniversary of their term.

B) Amendment of bylaws (page 18) Currently states that any meeting to amend bylaws “. . . shall be announced and notice published no less than sixty (60) days prior to such meeting . . .” We propose that a thirty (30) day advance notice (such as a letter like this one) is sufficient.

C) Qualifications of Members (page 19) Currently states “the qualifications for membership in this corporation are as follows: any person interested in the objectives for which the Society was incorporated and expressing a desire to support the organization’s programs . . . may, upon application and payment of dues, become a member of the society.” We propose adding “acceptance” after application.

D) Fees and Dues (page 20) Currently states “All fees and dues shall be payable on the 1st day of May of each year and annual memberships shall expire April 31st of each calendar year.” We find it would be far more logistically practical and fair to those joining at other times of the year, to change this to “All fees and dues shall be payable on the one (1) year anniversary of the date of their payment, and their membership will extend one (1) year from that day of payment.”

E) Notice of Meetings (page 22) This section describes methods to advise you all of meetings and includes in person, by mail, by telephone, and by “facsimile machine”. We propose adding email to that list. And, we would like to ask you all to include your email address when you renew your membership, if you have one. This would save the organization hundreds of dollars a year!

F) Quorum For Membership Meetings (Page 23) According to the bylaws, we need 20% of members present to proceed with the Annual Membership Meeting.

The Board members are proposing in the absence of a quorum a simple majority of voting members present or by proxy can vote to continue the meeting.

JACK MOYER for SCHOOL BOARD

LOOKING BACK Photo courtesy of Eureka Springs Historical Museum

In honor of the 128th Eureka Springs Alumni Association Banquet that will take place on Saturday, May 26, at the Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center, today we will showcase the man who started it all — Professor C.S. Barnett.

Professor Barnett and wife Adda, along with their four children, came to Eureka Springs in 1889 from Bowling Green Ky., where he attended Ogden College. There was no other man living in Eureka Springs who did so much for education as Professor Barnett. He served 38 years as superintendent of Eureka Springs schools, and taught English and literature. His wife also a primary teacher, and for several years, principal of the grammar school.

In accepting the position of superintendent of schools, Professor Barnett set for himself a stupendous undertaking — building a good school system. Many obstacles confronted him.

No planning had ever been made for an educational process, and in respect to financing a school, there was no money except for a school tax of 5 mills. The district owned no land, schools were held in old buildings where broken windows were stuffed with rags. There was no high school and the teachers had no formal education. Barnett himself was paid a very small salary, as the finances of the school board were limited. He spent much of his salary on books and experiments for his classrooms, demonstrating his dedication to education. Little by little, Professor Barnett brought the schools forward, and a new spirit of pride and respect was at work for both students and parents.

when officers arrived on the scene.

4:34 p.m. — An officer filed a report on property damage.

May 12 2:04 a.m. — A male subject was arrested for driving while intoxicated, implied consent and possession of drug paraphernalia.

8:05 a.m. — An officer checked a motel

Professor Barnett’s ‘School Notes’ column was published in the local newspapers, and he appealed again and again for a new school. At the close of the school year in 1890, he wrote, ‘If before another year you concentrate all of your interests in good schools — all of your hopes for the future of your children —we will see, rising majestically from one of our mountains, a public school building worthy of your children.’ Finally, in 1892, a substantial brick building was erected on a mountain near the Crescent Hotel, the W.H. Reid School, otherwise known as the Old Red Brick Schoolhouse.

Professor Barnett also founded the Eureka Springs High School Alumni Association. This group is still active, and celebrates 128 years this year. So, as an alumnus, I challenge all current Eureka Springs Alumni to support this longstanding organization. If you do not attend the banquet, please help by sending in yearly dues. Let’s attempt to keep Professor Barnett’s legacy alive by our participation.

A reason to smile

Here’s mud in your eye. Well, not exactly mud in your eye but in your mouth. You see, there is a new product line on the market using bentonite clay and activated charcoal to clean, polish and whiten your teeth. So, more specifically the mud is not intended for your mouth but to be used as a replacement for toothpaste.

The holistic blend that I know about is formulated with a combination of activated coconut shell charcoal, calcium bentonite clay, organic orange peel extract and organic mint extract. The original tooth powder comes in a small container boasting 150 uses costing about nine cents per use. This is an affordable way to clean and polish your teeth while freshening your breath and caring for you gums.

To use the powder simply moisten your toothbrush and touch lightly to the powder. If you do this in the shower then all you have to remember is to not over brush either too hard or too long and then rinse your mouth with the running water. The powder does have the charcoal color so rinsing very well is very good. Remember this is a polishing agent, so don’t overdo.

While the powder is the best buy and very frugal to use, the product is

also available in conventional paste tubes. The company currently offers Jim Fain two flavors, namely spearmint and peppermint. To make the paste more ingredients are needed but care is taken to keep them in line with natural choices and essential oils. Looking over the ingredient list I see coconut oil, diatomaceous earth, a long list of organic essential oils as well as xanthin gum (to make a paste) and grapefruit seed extract as the natural preservative.

Needless to say the pastes and the powder are fluoride free, SLS, gluten free, non-GMO, vegan and have no glycerin. This is a well-made product and product line.

You may wish to run this past your dentist as it is so new on the market.

Because of that, he or she may not know much about it, though. To me, using a dental irrigator with five or six drops of grapefruit seed extract to cleanse the gum lines and between the teeth, then brushing with this innovative paste or powder would be a good way to clean and polish teeth. All the while taking good care of your gums and mouth. Time to smile.

with them,” Madeline said. “You’re always smiling. You’re not arguing all the time.”

Teacher Mandy Elsey, who helps oversee the program, said she’s been astounded at the students’ progress.

“It’s an amazing transformation that’s happened,” Elsey said. “The kids are more independent. We’re seeing those relationships being built. They’re becoming better at problem-solving and finding those win-win situations.”

to a teacher and saying, ‘Oh he tattled,’ you can solve the problem yourself.”

“It’s really all about solving problems and making your life better,” Kameron said.

For Madeline, the program means everyone at the school is a lot happier.

“It helps you be a better person. It helps you find how to solve problems with somebody instead of arguing
