July 14 4:06 a.m. — A routine traffic stop on Van Buren resulted in the arrest of a male subject for driving on a suspended driver’s license and speeding. 7:38 p.m. — A minor two-vehicle accident occurred on Van Buren involving a scooter and a car that resulted in minor injuries. A report was taken. Hopefully the driver of a scooter was wearing a helmet!
It is inhumane, in our opinion, to force people who have a genuine need for coffee to wait inside in line behind those who apparently see it as some kind of recreational activity.

Fat Tire Tragedy
Cyclist dies after accident on course By Scott Loftis and Chip Ford
CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
EUREKA SPRINGS — The annual Fat Tire Festival mountain bike race was marred by tragedy Saturday when a 39-year-old Little Rock woman died from injuries she apparently suffered in an accident on the course. Laura Wooldridge was taken by helicopter to Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville after the accident, which occurred around 9:30 a.m. Saturday. Wooldridge died at the hospital, although no further details about an exact cause of death were available. “All we basically know is a bystander states she came walking out of the woods with her bicycle,” said Assistant Chief Tom Dransfield of the Eureka Springs Fire Department. Dransfield said Wooldridge was bleeding heavily and had suffered facial trauma and chest trauma after the accident about 30 minutes before the race’s scheduled 10 a.m. start. According to Dransfield, the helicopter transporting Wooldridge from the race course originally was bound for a hospital in Springfield, Mo., but was rerouted to Fayetteville — apparently because Wooldridge’s condition was deteriorating. David Renko, director of the Fat Tire Festival, said race officials were saddened by the tragedy. “The Fat Tire Festival and Progressive Trail Design deeply regret the loss of Laura Wooldridge, and any loss of life associated with mountain biking,” Renko said. “The risks of mountain biking are inherent,” he said. “I think everyone understands that. The risks of living in this area are inherent.” Renko noted that a medical helicopter landed three times in Eureka Springs over the weekend — twice in connection with the Fat Tire Festival and once in connection with an unrelated traffic accident. “By the third time, you can imagine the impact that had on everyone’s psyche,” he
said. Renko said he had no details about the other serious injury that occurred during the race, other than the fact that the victim was hospitalized in stable condition with injuries that were not life-threatening. “It’s unfortunate that so much happened on one weekend, but it clearly illustrates that we are all vulnerable,” he said. Renko said Wooldridge was “wellloved” among her fellow riders. “She was an advanced cyclist, someone who obviously loved what she was doing and had a great passion for it,” he said. “She died doing something she loved.” Wooldridge was a member of the Central Arkansas Velo (CARVE) racing team. CARVE team captain Scott Penrod said he and other team members rushed to the hospital in Fayetteville after Wooldridge’s accident but were met by the hospital chaplain who informed them of Wooldridge’s death. Phillip Prater, a member of the CARVE team, said Wooldridge joined the group about three and a half years ago. “She was kind of an ambassador for mountain biking.” Prater said. “She put on a lot of mountain biking clinics for women around the state. … She pushed other women to get out of their comfort zones and become better cyclists.” Prater said Wooldridge always had “a huge smile on her face,” but also was serious about improving as a cyclist. “She pushed herself,” he said. “She wanted women to work harder and do more than people thought they could, and she wanted the same thing for herself.” Prater said Wooldridge is survived by a husband and two sons. “Laura was known to cyclists by her infectious smile and was an advocate for women cyclists in the area,” Wooldridge’s husband John, told Fox 16 television in Little Rock that. On Sunday, CARVE team members and other riders honored Wooldridge by donning pink T-shirts and riding the

course together, foregoing the competitive race. Phillip Prater, a member of the CARVE team, said the team came up with the idea to honor Wooldridge on Saturday night. “We were still just completely in shock and had no idea really what to do,” he said. “We knew that Laura would want us to ride, so we decided to ride together all the way to the finish line.” Prater said around 40 riders who were not affiliated with CARVE also joined in
the memorial ride. He said a separate memorial ride was held in Little Rock, with Wooldridge’s husband participating. For the CARVE team members, honoring Wooldridge was cathartic. “There was a lot of emotion during the ride,” Prater said. One female rider suffered a minor accident early in the ride, Prater said. “She picked up her bicycle and chucked it in the woods,” he said. “Then she just sat down and started crying.”
State to investigate Wooldridge death Lovely County Citizen The Arkansas Department of Health will investigate the death of Laura Wooldridge, a spokesman for the Eureka Springs Fire and EMS Department has confirmed. Wooldridge, 39, died at a Fayetteville hospital on Saturday after being injured in an accident on the course of the Fat Tire Festival mountain bike race at Lake Leatherwood Park in Eureka Springs. ESFD spokesman Randy Ates said the department was notified Tuesday afternoon that the ADH Section of Emergency Medical Services has elected to launch an investigation into Wooldridge’s death.
According to a press release from Ates, EMS Section Director Greg Brown stated that the investigation was prompted by a newspaper article citing esophageal intubation by EMS personnel as a contributing cause of death. The incident occurred at about 9:30 a.m. Saturday. An ambulance crew on standby for the bicycle race was directed to Wooldridge, who had wrecked her bike and was in need of care. “Assistant Chief Tom Dransfield noted that Wooldridge’s condition deteriorated rapidly and a helicopter was summoned to transport Wooldridge to See Death, page 25

Teen airlifted to Springfield after car-motorcycle accident Lovely County Citizen A 14-year-old boy was airlifted to a Springfield, Mo., hospital after an accident involving a car and a motorcycle Saturday on Highway 62 near Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs. A spokesman for the Eureka Springs Fire Department said the boy sustained “moderate trauma,” possibly a fractured
leg and multiple deep contusions. No life threatening injuries were present, according to the spokesman. The boy was flown by Air Evac Lifeteam helicopter from from a landing zone at the Leatherwood Park field to Mercy Hospital in Springfield. No further details were available at press time.
Exchange students seek host families in Eureka Visiting students, ages 15-18, from around the world including Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and Thailand are seeking host families in and around Eureka Springs for the 2014-2015 academic school year. Host families are needed for the fall semester and full school year. Host families (traditional families, singles, empty-nesters, etc.) serve as mentors and a home base for their student. Visiting students participate as active members of the family and integrate into their host’s daily routines and traditions just like any other family member. Hosting an international student is a great way to explore a new culture and promote a sense of lifelong learning and adventure. “Every year Arkansas plays host to many talented, top-of-their-class students with the lifelong dream of studying
in America,” said Emily Rolin, iE-USA’s Area Director. “Our state’s spirit of hospitality and focus on academic enrichment makes it an ideal environment to develop cultural exchange and promote international diplomacy on a local level.” Exchange student participants undergo an extensive application and orientation process in their home country before being accepted into iE-USA’s program. Each student is responsible for his/her own spending money and full health insurance coverage. For details, contact iE Arkansas representative Cynthia Rouillard at c.rouillard@international-experience.net, 720315-2723. Host families may review prospective student profiles online at iEUSA.org. Families interested in hosting this year must apply by Aug. 15.
Discussion about the possibility of a new hospital was continued at the Eureka Springs Hospital Commission meeting on Monday. An idea that has long been considered, the new hospital would be located at the western end of town. Allegiance Health Management, which operates Eureka Springs Hospital, has said it would be willing to contribute as much as $20 million to build the facility. However, construction would be contingent upon extending sewer lines to the new location at the city’s expense. McClelland Engineering was hired to perform a study from Pivot Rock Road to the city limits to figure out how much the sewer lines would cost, but no updates concerning the survey have been reported. “The survey has not been concluded yet,” commission chairman Michael Merry said. Mayor Morris Pate said that the cost of the sewer line extension would have been more than a million dollars in 2008, and he estimates that now it would cost the city as much as $2.5 million. Though the Hospital Commission has more than $1.7 million in its funds, that money is to be used explicitly for patient care. “The Arkansas Attorney General’s office says that commission money is not to be mingled with the General Fund. It can only be spent for the benefit of Eureka Springs citizens on a medical level,” Merry said.
In addition to the considerable cost of extending a sewer line, Pate explained that water supply in the proposed location would also have to be evaluated. “We don’t yet know if the water out there would be sufficient [for the hospital],” he said. Many citizens of Eureka Springs and surrounding areas have started to get antsy in anticipation of the new hospital. At the commission’s meeting, Chuck Olson of Grassy Knob was present to relay such sentiments. “Grassy Knob wants the hospital to succeed,” he said. “It is time to move; it is time to get going.” He further stated that many people are not very happy with Eureka Springs Hospital, and thus fully support the idea of a new hospital. Many commissioners, however, took issue with casting the “old” hospital in a negative light. “The care is good; it just is not a new facility,” countered Commissioner Pam Crockett. Other commissioners also defended the merits of Eureka Springs Hospital. “We need to sell that to the public, then,” replied Olson. He suggested that Eureka Springs Hospital, as well as the hospital commission, do some public outreach in the hopes of boosting the hospital’s image . Vicki Andert, ESH’s chief nursing officer, explained that efforts in this area have already been initiated. In fact, she said that the hospital recently hired someone to help with marketing.
Clark makes UALR Dean’s List The University of Arkansas at Little Rock announced that Lindsey Clark of Eureka Springs was recently named to the May 2014 Dean’s List. Students whose academic performances have been superior at the end of each semester are recognized in which the fol-

Eureka Springs board to hear presentation on disaster plan By Kathryn Lucariello
CCNhi@cox-internet.com
EUREKA SPRINGS – The Eureka Springs School Board will tackle a lengthy agenda at its monthly meeting Thursday. The board is set to hear a presentation by the Osage Group, who is working with the city on a disaster mitigation plan. The board will hear a presentation by the Osage Group, which is working on a disaster mitigation plan for the City of Eureka Springs. Mayor’s assistant Diane Wilkerson said the plan would be approved by FEMA, and part of it is to look for places in the city that meet the requirements to serve as disaster shelters. The school possibly serving that role will be discussed. The board also will consider a resolution on Act 1120, passed by the state legislature last year. The act, which goes into effect Sept. 15, requires school boards to review and approve any increase in employee pay of 5 percent or more from one fiscal year to the next when there has been no substantial change in job duties.
Each year the school district will run a spreadsheet showing such increases and pass a resolution to approve them. The resolution must show the reasons for the increase and can include information about bonuses, certification, and other reasons. The school district has received a School Bus Safety award from the Arkansas Association of Pupil Transportation and will hear a report on that from Transportation Supervisor John Kesler, who traveled to Hot Springs to receive it. The board is set to look at a number of items relating to the start of the new school year: student handbook revisions, bread bids, meal price changes and student transfers. The board also will consider payment of attorney fees in the ongoing millage lawsuit with the state, the annual transfer of funds to reduce the operting balance and hold an executive session. The meeting, which is open to the public, will take place Thursday, July 24, at 5:30 p.m. at the administration building at 146 Greenwood Hollow Rd.
Passion Play listed among top outdoor concert venues The Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs has been named one of USA Today’s “10 Best Outdoor Concert Venues You Shouldn’t Miss.” USA Today’s 10Best.com site says, “Performed since 1968 in the beautiful Ozark Mountains in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, the last week of Christ’s life is rendered in a large-scale dramatic production by 170 actors in a multi-level amphitheater setting. The live animals are a nice touch. Through October.” “We are honored to be named one of the 10 Best Outdoor Venues by USA Today’s 10Best.com,” said Randall Christy, CEO of the Passion Play. “The Play
is certainly enough to receive the accolades all by itself, but our outdoor concerts this year and last have been very well received.” The Play also plans to sponsor a concert in the Eureka Springs City Auditorium on Au/14 at 7 p.m. featuring “All Things New.” The band is a Christian band from Orlando, Fla. They produced their first full-length studio album last year with BEC Recordings. “This should be a very fun concert,” said Kent Butler, the play’s director of marketing and public relations.

JPs approve transition of fine collections to CCSO By Mike Ellis
Carroll County News
A light agenda and a small crowd brought a feeling of summer vacation to Friday’s meeting of the Carroll County Quorum Court. The justices of the peace narrowly approved the second and third readings of an ordinance to designate the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office as the agency in charge of collecting fines owed to the county. The ordinance passed, but did not specify an effective date. Sheriff Bob Grudek said the transition period could require a month or more to get computers and software in place. JP Ron Flake, who initiated this change, suggested letting the sheriff and the circuit clerk “work it out,” but JP Gaylon Riggs insisted the ordinance should take effect in 30 days. In his mid-year report to the quorum court, Grudek discussed how changes in the Arkansas Department of Correction have affected the detention center. Overcrowding in state facilities meant the state would pay $28 per day for each state prisoner held at the detention center. The state will be adding beds, and many state prisoners have received early releases to help make room for more serious offenders. Those changes have reduced a signifi-
cant income stream for the detention center. Grudek explained that lower population does not affect staffing, but the detention center saves on some expenses, including utilities. He also said that the situation may change over time, and he explained that some of those released to make space in the state prison system have already found their way back to prison. JP Larry Swofford said the Boone County Quorum Court had passed a resolution asking the state to increase the $28 per day rate, which it said did not cover its expenses. Flake said the Association of Arkansas Counties had done a statewide study on the issue and found that the actual costs of housing state prisoners in county jails “significantly less than $28.” Courthouse security In his closing comments, County Judge Sam Barr reported on issues with locks on the courthouse doors. The 911 dispatch office is located in the courthouse, and is staffed around the clock. Barr said he has had several reports of finding the courthouse door unlocked after hours. “This building is old, but it’s ours, and we need to protect it,” he said. Barr said county employees arriving before the courthouse doors open at 8:30 are supposed to press a buzzer, and dispatch
Chamber schedules presentation for candidates The Governmental Relations Committee of the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce has arranged a presentation by David Schoen of the Arkansas Municipal League. Schoen will make his presentation at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, July 24, at the Best Western Eureka Inn. He will be discussing two documents produced by AML: Guidebook for Municipal Officials of Mayor/Council Cities and 2014 Municipal Election Information. There will also be time for questions and answers. “It has been said that all politics is local,”said Mike Bishop, chamber president,“and we have so many local people who could really help our community through their involvement in our local government. This presentation is designed to answer some
questions these leaders might have allowing them to take that first step: throwing their hat into the ring.” The AML presentation comes on the eve of the first day potential candidates may file for local offices by turning in their completed petitions to the county clerk. Petitions, which are now available from the county clerk, must be submitted no later than Aug. 15 in order to have their name placed on the November ballot. “Our committee hopes people interested in running for office or those simply interested in the process will come join us on the twenty-fourth at the Eureka Inn,” Bishop said.“We have so much leadership in this community, so many could help by getting involved, we just hope those individuals will come and discover how to take that first step.”
staff will remotely open the door. Barr said people have waited without a response, even when they have phoned the dispatchers. Grudek explained that dispatchers might have a 911 call in progress, and would not interrupt that to open the door. He also objected to making building security the responsibility of the dispatchers. The sheriff also said a “serious morale problem” had developed among dispatchers, when the door to the courthouse kitchen was locked after hours. Barr said he wanted to put a key lock back on the front door, and JP Lamont Richie said that decision rested squarely with the county judge. “This is your building,” he said, and he told Barr to come back to the table if he needs additional funds for the project. In other business: • Riggs reported on a meeting between a committee of the quorum court and the Carroll County Airport Commission. He said the JPs had determined at that meeting that they could not dictate to the commission,
7
and the JPs could not even help mediate in a dispute between the CCAC and the Ozark Flying Club because of “too many hurt feelings on both sides.” The committee asked the CCAC for regular financial reports. • Flake said mapping for a rural water system in the north central part of the county continues, and he hopes for a public meeting within 60 days. The area under consideration includes Arkansas Highways 143 and 221 North, and the roads branching from those highways. • The JPs unanimously approved Mark Minton for a three-year term on the board of the Western Carroll County Ambulance District. • Grudek said the garden at the detention center is delivering produce to food banks, and the garden will have a marker to honor Walt Noftsger, maintenance supervisor at the detention center, who began the garden project. The sheriff also reported that drug dog Ringo will retire for medical reasons, but the department will still use the dog for education at schools.

Sheep baaaaack home

Four sheep escaped their housing on Saturday amid the Eureka Springs Fat Tire Festival’s TIMEX Race to the Lake. Owners and neighbors scoured the Pivot Rock Road area for the lost animals, eventually finding them. Before being located, the sheep enjoyed wandering around Mill Hollow Road – occasionally pausing for cars, so the drivers could snap photos of them.

Two tractor-trailers sideswiped each other Saturday after one crossed the center line in the Leatherwood curves on Highway 62 west of Eureka Springs.
Tractor-trailers collide in Leatherwood curves
Lovely County Citizen The Inspiration Point Fire Department responded to an accident involving two tractor-trailers Saturday afternoon in the Leatherwood curves on Highway 62 west of Eureka Springs. According to a post on the IPFD’s Facebook page, an east-bound tractor-trailer, with a driver who had never driven through the curves before, crossed the center line going around one of the tighter curves, forcing a westbound chicken-feed truck to move over as far as it could in an attempt to avoid a collision. Unfortunately the chicken-feed truck couldn’t quite get out of the way, and the two trucks made contact, causing both
lanes of Highway 62 to be shut down. Emergency personnel responded and traffic was rerouted through Holiday Island and Beaver to get to and from Eureka Springs. The westbound tractor-trailer was moved back to the proper lane by a wrecker from Pea Ridge and continued its journey. “But the eastbound truck driver wanted nothing further to do with our highway, and opted to be towed into Eureka, vowing never to pass this way again,” the IPFD Facebook post said. “Nor will he believe his GPS anymore, which told him the best way to get to Flippin … from Clarksville … is to come up to Rogers and take 62 through Eureka.”

Editorial Keeping tragedy in perspective
By Scott Loftis
T
ragedy struck the Fat Tire Festival in Eureka Springs overt the weekend when a 39-year-old woman died after being injured in an accident on the race course. While the death of Laura Wooldridge was a horrible event, it should not be a stain on the festival itself. The 2014 event was the 16th annual Fat Tire Festival, and while officials acknowledge that there have been some serious injuries over the years, Wooldridge was the first participant to die after an accident on the course. How many thousands of riders have taken part in the festival over the years and left with wonderful memories of the event and of Eureka Springs? As one official pointed out, mountain biking is an inherently dangerous activity. Rugged terrain, tight curves, high speeds — it all adds up to a risky endeavor. And certainly, that is part of the thrill for enthusiasts of the sport. They know the risks, they know the dangers, and still they embrace it. They choose not to let fear deter
Thanks to HI responders
A big thank you to Jack Deaton and the Holiday Island emergency response team for their quick action on Saturday, July 19th. Due to a wreck traffic was re-routed through Beavertown. Traffic was backed up for quite awhile with frustrated drivers on Hwy. 187. For those who had never crossed the Beaver Bridge the back-up was puzzling. However the response team moved traffic as quickly and efficiently as possible. I was made aware that we here in Beaver forget to show appreciation for what the fire department and all emergency response members do for our town and surrounding area. — Penny Sullivan
Thanks for helping Apollo
To everyone who has donated, called, visited, liked and befriended our boy Apollo: On behalf of Apollo, the shelter staff, the board and myself, I must thank all those who donated so generously for Apollo’s surgery. The outpouring of compassion and concern from the public overwhelmed us all. Within
them from pursuing their passion. Laura Wooldridge loved mountain biking. It was, by all accounts, one of the great passions of her life — so much so that she acted as a sort of unofficial ambassador for the sport. In particular, she reached out to other women to educate them and excite them about mountain biking. As her team members and friends dealt with the shock of her sudden passing, they came to a simple conclusion about whether or not to participate in the final day of the festival on Sunday. “Laura would want us to ride,” they decided. And so they did, together from start to finish on Sunday to honor her memory. Wooldridge’s death was a tragedy — even more so in light of revelations that there might have been an issue with her medical treatment en route to a hospital. But if she were with us today, our guess is that Laura Wooldridge would still be a passionate supporter of mountain biking, and of the Eureka Springs Fat Tire Festival. two days of our plea hitting the internet, we had enough donations to get surgery scheduled. Apollo had his surgery on June 24, and on July 8 he had his follow-up appointment at Azzore Veterinary Surgery. Apollo is doing well, and while he has an estimated three months of recovery ahead, we are all optimistic that he will continue to do well. If you live in or near Eureka Springs, Apollo would love to meet you! We’ve already had several people come in just to meet him. We will continue to post periodic updates on Apollo’s progress on Facebook and our blog so you can monitor his rehabilitation, too. Again, let me say thank you to all of you. Your sweetness of spirit has reminded us all of the best traits of people, and Apollo has been the recipient of that goodness. With a happy heart, Janice Durbin Shelter manager Good Shepherd Humane Society Inc.

Citizen Survey
Well, “good news” here in Arkansas; we’ve gained status in the US. Bad news is that the gain is in the poverty areas of our state. According to the Census Bureau, Arkansas has gone from 23.1 percent to 38.8 percent in areas of poverty. The GOP goal seems to be stripping our families of all that will make our lives livable. They want to make sure that healthcare is only for them, that more of our children go to bed hungry and that we all struggle more every day. There is a solution … register and vote Democratic this November 4th. And as a reminder to everyone, especially women, make sure your driver’s license name and your voter registration name is the same, because another “gift” from Arkansas Republicans is that it is now harder to vote. They don’t want a fair election or they would help every eligible voter to register and go to the polls. But it seems they can only win by denying voting rights to those who would oppose them. The Republicans in Arkansas are taking money from out of state. The billionaire Koch brothers of Kansas have pledged 50 million dollars to buy our election and state. Our airwaves are filled with their message of divisiveness in hopes that we aren’t smart enough to know their game. I hope we show them what real citizens do — register others to vote and go to the polls on November 4th! — Sheri Hanson

The Eureka Springs Garden Club, has named its Summer Garden of the Season honorees. The Themed Summer Garden of the Season is located at Farm to Table FRESH Restaurant, 179 N. Main St. “Owner Ken Ketelson uses fresh herbs grown on site for some of his menu items,” the garden club said in a press release. “A walk in the hillside garden will be all you’ll need to understand why it was picked as a winner. Black mulch highlights all the beautiful bushes and shrubs and flowers that are terraced along the paths in front of the business. A few benches along the way will entice you to set and enjoy the statues and whirligigs.” The Summer Church Garden of the Season was awarded to the St. James Episcopal Church, 34 Prospect Ave. “The lovely gardens are what you would expect,” a garden club press re-
lease said. “A wonderful shade meditation garden in a small valley next to the church. Very large trees lend lots of shade to the area. Hostas, Chinese maples, azaleas, and ferns surround the benches so you can enjoy the serenity of the Ozarks. The Summer Home Garden of the Season was awarded to Chip and Lori Norton of 14059 Highway 187 (Grassy Knob). “They moved to the area in 2011 and have been working on their vision ever since,” the garden club said. “The landscaping takes advantage of the natural rocks with a flowing water feature, while perennials, knockout roses, and annuals add color to the landscaping. Large Hostas flourish in the front of their home: fortunately they have not been tasted by their ‘deer’ friends. … It’s a mystery to all of us.” The Eureka Springs Garden Club was established in 1946.

‘FATTY Fest’
The 16th Annual Eureka Springs Fat Tire Festival (The Fatty Fest) was held at Lake Leatherwood this year. The event hosted seven various competitive and non-competitive events Friday, Saturday and Sunday in and around Eureka Springs. The beloved Phat Tire Short Track moved from Elk’s Ranch this year to the Lake Leatherwood ball fields, keeping its fast-paced and tight-quarters racing theme. Saturday was the white-knuckle PBR Downhill, which sent riders downhill at extreme speeds – around hairpin corners and through the air (launching off multiple jumps). Also on Saturday was The Big Town Ride, in which locals led a group of 75-plus cyclists through Eureka’s streets, alleys and trails. The Super D was also Saturday — a blend of the downhill and the XC styles. Sunday was the massive TIMEX Race to the Lake XC. More than 120 cyclists across nine groups took the 10- to 22-mile route (depending on which category the racer was in) from Basin Park to Lake Leatherwood.

Images above are of cyclists hitting the large 18-foot finish after transgressing the 1-mile downhill course. The trail consisted of loose gravel and hard clay with doubles, table tops, step-ups (and stepdowns), rock ledges, ledge drops, rock gardens and lots of berms. At left is a group of cyclists who donned pink shirts and cool socks to honor fallen cyclist Laura Wooldridge, who passed away after being injured in a biking accident the day before.

Dual sport riding lets bikers escape the beaten path Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism Part of the appeal of riding motorcycles is the adventure found on the open road. On a dual sport motorcycle, one suited for both on- and off-road riding, bikers can also venture off paved roads and highways to explore back-country terrain like dirt roads, gravel roads and jeep trails. “For every great vista on the highway there are a hundred nearby on dirt roads,” says Scott Smith, an Arkansas based dual sport rider. Smith, vice president of Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge in Eureka Springs, started riding dual sport bikes about six years ago. He bought an XR650L Honda for $4,500, put on some safety extras and a Corbin seat, and has ridden almost 30,000 miles since. Smith says dual sport riding provides a different experience than riding on highways. “We ride dirt bikes legal for the road, but we do our best to stay off paved surfaces,” he said. “Much like slab riders, we ride with our friends sometimes, but mostly alone, enjoying the solitude and soaking up nature.” According to Smith, what makes Arkansas stand out as a dual sport riding destination is the contrasting topography, the many routes through thousands of miles of back roads, and the state’s national forests. He says the rivers and creeks also offer views not seen from paved highways. Smith adds that Arkansas is centrally located and a lure for riders who crave the state’s hilly, mountainous roads. “Our people are friendly too; the traveler loves that,” he added. His favorite route in the state is from Turpentine Creek to Oark, through Pettigrew or Red Star. Oark was made “biker famous” by Sam Correro, creator of the Trans-America Trail (TAT), a nearly 5,000-mile dual sport motorcycle route across the U.S. “He was right: They have good pie!,” Smith said, referring to what Correro reported about the Oark General Store.

Dual sport riding enthusiasts say the sport allows them to experience a wider variety of terrain as they explore the beauty of the Ozarks.
“The reason I like this route is there is no definite route between the two places, I make up a new route each time I make the trip. Our back roads make up a huge web of possibilities.” Smith has ridden the western half of the TAT through Arkansas. “Each time I want to keep going all the way to Coos Bay, Ore., but reality drags me back and I go to work the next day dreaming about the ride,” he said. The TAT starts in Tennessee and goes west across the U.S. to the Pacific Ocean in Oregon. “You are touring America and you are seeing the heart of America like it can’t be seen from the interstate,” Correro says of the epic trail. “And you stop at all the mom and pop hotels and restaurants … and eat the local food.” Correro, who is based in Mississippi, was looking for places to ride, so he started riding gravel and dirt roads on weekends and connecting the routes together. Pretty soon he had a big loop mapped in Mississippi. He wanted to go farther – and Arkansas was the next state he tackled. Correro contacted the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation De-
partment and bought county maps that showed the state’s gravel and dirt roads. He began riding and exploring the terrain. “My first couple of days in Arkansas proved to be good and I thought, well I’m just going to keep going,” he said. “And I made my way into the Arkansas Ozarks, and to the Oklahoma state line.” Then he kept going, eventually making it to the coast of Oregon. It took him 12 years’ worth of weekends and vacation time to map the entire TAT. “It was a labor of love is what it was,” he said. After he finished mapping the trail, he built a website that included detailed information such as rider reports, gas stop locations, restaurants, lodging, places to cross rivers and interstates, and where to access maps and roll-charts. Now dual sport riders from across the nation and world come to ride the trail. Correro said the ride between Clinton, Ark., and Bartlesville, Okla., on the TAT is one of his favorite two days of riding. “Dual sport riding serves up images and experiences you cannot find on the [paved] road, all in the near absence of
cars and trucks,” Smith said. “We respect our backwoods property owners and love our mountains. Minimalism is practiced while at the same time you have to be able to fix your bike in the middle of nowhere. If you chose to get involved [in the sport] be safe, ride within your skills and wave at the locals.” For more information on the Trans-America Trail, visit transamtrail. com. Also, Smith organizes the Arkansas 500 dual sport ride each year as a benefit for Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. This multi-day event covers 500 miles of back roads in Arkansas. For more details, visit arkansas500.com. One more resource Smith shares is how he’s met others interested in this activity.

Tell Your Story … before it’s too late
H
e herded a good-sized, older model car into our parking lot and killed the motor. I happened to be outside, so I went over. He opened the door and swung his legs out, placing both feet firmly on the parking lot. But he didn’t stand up. He never stood up. He looked his age, which I calculate now to be mid-90s. From the gaping car door, he peered up at me keenly. “What is this place?” “It’s a writing school. We teach creative writing.” He nodded, apparently satisfied. “I’m looking for a writer.” “Oh yeah? What’s your story?” “I’ve got a story.” “I bet you do. What is it?” Thirty minutes later, I’m still standing there in the parking lot as the 3 p.m. sun bores like a slow bullet into the space between my eyes. But he did have a story. He had worked for presidents and traveled globally when few people did that unless they were on a troop carrier. He’d known newsmakers and people who changed the course of history. In fact, it appears from the analysis of a historian I contacted, the gentleman himself may have changed the course of world history. Now he’s sitting in my parking lot in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, pouring out story fragments faster than I can process or connect them, while I’m thinking: Why the heck didn’t you write this down at a younger age — say 60 or 70? Because now, he does need a writer to even sort out the chronology and connect the dots. Now we’re dealing with scraps of memories all jumbled up. I’m reminded of a friend’s revenge on her cheating husband, who was a fanatic organizer. He had all his investment papers and paid receipts filed neatly in expensive labeled folders in expensive labeled cabinets. He didn’t just save what the IRS required — he saved everything. He also had his college and
medical school course work and pictures he had drawn as a toddler. All organized by year. As her last act of retribution before she walked out the door, my friend emptied every file into the huge walk-in closet. Then she stirred the lot with a broom. She said the pile of papers filled the closet from wall to wall and up to a depth of four feet. The gentleman’s memories were somewhat like that. Not to say that he was senile, because I don’t think he is. I think he’s still pretty sharp. But now someone else will have to write down everything in order and make the connections that resulted in what appears to be an extraordinary life. Yet, no writer can do what he could have done himself. Sure, the broad outline can still be preserved. But the gentleman has forgotten a lot and, even if he remembers everything, no writer will know to ask all the pertinent questions to draw those stories out. “When an old person dies,” Alex Haley said, “it’s like a library burning.” No one else has your fingerprints. And no other individual on this planet has your unique combination of stories. Maybe you didn’t work for a president or change global history. But your life matters and your story matters. Stories connect us, they preserve our individual and cultural identity, and they provide the continuity of our society. I believe this so strongly that I started the Village Writing School to help people tell their stories. But you don’t have to take a workshop from us to get your story down on paper. Or preserve it as an audio recording. If you do nothing else, just do that. So that when you’re in your 90s and you decide you want to save your story, when you herd your big car into some parking lot and state emphatically that you “want a writer,” that writer will have something from which to relate the unique, exquisite life that was yours.

Now through Sept. 1: Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie at Crystal Bridges
Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie is now on view at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art through September 1. The exhibition explores the renowned architect’s structures and the philosophy that shapes them. Featured in the exhibition are more than 100 objects, including drawings, sketches, videos, photographs and scale models, which will be on display at Crystal Bridges during the summer of 2014. The exhibition surveys Safdie’s career from his formative period in the 1960s and early 1970s to his more recent projects around the world, exploring his masterful use of light and geometry and his inspired architectural conversation with the history and landscape of each site. Global Citizen examines Safdie’s architecture not only as visual art but as a medium for advancing social, political and cultural goals. Safdie’s designs exemplify “progressive contextualism”- a way of thinking globally about building. His works combine the social activism and advanced technologies of modernism with a profound respect for historical and regional context.

Dire warnings abound that if you do this drug or that, then these supplements will interfere causing harm. Rarely is there a balanced approach. Suppose the prescription medication bias with huge amounts of corporate money backing it is entirely backward? Suppose the prescription drug is actually interfering with the absorption of the nutritional supplement. Suppose, it is well established that prescribed drugs often and commonly create new ailments by causing vitamin and mineral deficits ... what would you do? Think about this as this is more often the case than we can imagine. Consider the mineral magnesium. This all-natural gift is used in thousands of body processes each and every day. We simply have to have enough in our systems to avoid short-term or long-term illnesses due to deficit. Did you know prescribed diuretics, blood pressure medications and statin drugs interfere with the benefits of magnesium. Other drugs do, too. Did you know, in fact magnesium can lower blood pressure along with reducing cholesterol as well as helping reduce atrial fibrillation, migraines, reducing calcium overload, helping muscle function, relaxing the body, improve breathing for asthma, reducing constipation ... the list is very long. Of course, if you take prescribed drugs and have symptoms, you’ll likely be prescribed more prescribed drugs. This sets up a vicious circle doesn’t it? Blood testing can be done to measure magnesium levels but are likely to be imprecise at best in terms of measuring your need. You see a blood test just shows how much is in your blood but not in the tissues where it is needed. Additionally, it is thought that drugs processed through the liver may elevate amounts of magnesium in the blood as the body dumps stores in order to detox from the very effects of the drug. What to do? First emphasize eating anything green like chard and kale adding nuts and beans to the recipe. If you’re using prescribed drugs I’d add 300-450 magnesium each day. Remember, magnesium is required for a long list of body processes yet we don’t get enough in our diet. Making this worse is that prescribed drugs like heart medicines, and others, decrease absorption of this very needed mineral. I like the chelated type and take 2 tablets daily. Supplement formulas typically named Blood Pressure Support have enough magnesium for most people. Be aware your blood pressure (BP) may drop so keep a log of home measurements. If it was me then as my BP drops I’d start reducing my BP meds. Keep your doctor informed and keep him/her as your health partner.
Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: Forget the things that go bump in the night, you should be more concerned with what’s stumbling around your garage in the morning. Could be a neighbor or a bear; either way, it’s a hairy situation. TAURUS: Finders may be keepers, but you won’t cry if you lose something out of your pocket on Wednesday because the Universe has a “no questions asked” replacement policy. You’ll come out richer than you went in. GEMINI: Keep your lips zipped on Monday. Some things should stay between a man, a duck, a Volkswagen and a basket of kumquats. You’ll only have to worry if the kumquats get chatty. CANCER: The world is your oyster: wet and slimy with a noticeable lack of pearls. If that opportunity has been out in the sun for a while, keep moving unless you love the taste of Pepto-Bismol. LEO: The only way you’ll have all the answers is if you’re cheating at Trivial Pursuit again. Step away from the box and take things as they come; sometimes a better path happens without your prodding. VIRGO: Life doesn’t happen in the big events, it happens during all those little moments when you’re channel-surfing and there’s nothing to watch. Let go of the remote and listen to your loved ones. It will make you appreciate cable TV even more. LIBRA: You don’t have to dig deep to find your self-worth, just clear out a few of those empty corn chip bags from the corners of your soul. Dust it off and run it through the dishwasher a few times, and your esteem will be good as new. SCORPIO: Don’t feel bad over this latest screw-up. If you knew better by now, what would your friends talk about at parties? At least you’re good as a conversation starter.

ewgrass” — or progressive bluegrass — band Deep Fried Squirrel, an eclectic group of musicians from the Springfield, Mo., area play one of the widest ranges of music you could imagine. And this weekend you have two opportunities to here them here in Eureka. The band features members Caleb Fairchild on guitar and vocals; Deakin Mooney on banjo, keys and vocals; Eric Mathewson on fiddle; and Jake Norman on bass. Deep Fried Squirrel’s music will remind listeners of such popular Newgrass groups as Yonder Mountain String Band, The Steeldrivers, John Hartford and perhaps even Railroad Earth. Deep Fried Squirrel performs Friday and Saturday nights at Cathouse / Pied Piper Pub from 8 p.m. to midnight. No charge for admission; open to ages 21 and up. See listings below for address and phone. SATURDAY

Saturday night features The Kory Montgomery Band at Chelsea’s. Based out of Fayetteville, the members of The Kory Montgomery Band have been spreading their blues, funk and jazz fusion-style music and sharing their skills across the country for six years now, and they continue to gain new popularity with their solid grooves, intense solos and commanding lyrics. KMB has played numerous festivals and events throughout the country including sharing the stage with BB King (on multiple occasions), Kenny Wayne Shepard, Earth Wind & Fire, JJ Grey & Mofro, Buddy Guy, Robert Randolph, Hubert Sumlin, The North Mississippi Allstars and many other nationally known and respected acts. And in the past year, Kory has been playing as a part-time member of The Blues Brothers Band, touring the globe. Kory Montgomery himself is somewhat of an electric guitar and songwriting prodigy, having started playing such shows at

the ripe old age of about 16. Still in his early 20s, Montgomery a couple years ago released his first full-length album, recorded at Winterwood Studios with Eric Schabacker at the helm as sound engineer; Mike Officer of Los Angeles as co-producer, and some of the best up-and-coming musicians from Arkansas to LA collaborating. The recording consists of eight original tunes written and co-written by Montgomery, and one cover. Montgomery’s guitar and vocals steer the music through slow grooves, to funky hard-driving rock. KMB’s show at Chelsea’s starts around 9 pm Friday; admission is $5 and it’s open to all ages.

Wait, what century are we in?! 9:14 p.m. — Officers responded to the junction of Highway 23 South and Highway 62 to watch for a black Honda that was supposed to be driving erratically. Twenty minutes passed and the car had still not come in to town. 9:32 p.m. — An officer initiated a traffic stop at McDonald’s.
