Local event aims to shine light on domestic violence By Alana Cook
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
As her journalism classmates shuffled back inside to the “Gridiron” cast party, Pearl Brick’s attacker barred the door. That is when, she says, he grabbed her right hand, twisted it behind her back, kissed her and groped her breast. The cold of that October night gave way to the cold grip of her attacker’s hand. After she pleaded for him to stop, he finally let her go. She cried out again — this time for help. Still, she said, nobody heard. Tearful, Brick recounts the details of her attack, which happened three years ago, as of it happened yesterday. “I went in and told the professor I needed to leave the party,” she said. “I was frantic.” Like many trauma survivors, Brick said she felt as if she was outside of her body looking in. Time stopped. All she felt was fear and pain. The attack looped in her mind’s reel like a scene from a news segment she worked on during her broadcast journalism class — except this scene is one Buck would rather leave on the cutting room floor. But, trauma doesn’t work that way. When Brick returned to the journalism department the following Monday for classes, she said her professor empathized, but not with her. “He does that with everyone,” the professor said. Brick said the professor’s attitude was echoed by the department chair: “I’ll do anything you need me to do, except make him unwelcome in this place.” A friend asked if Brick’s attacker, who was a popular and much younger journalism student, was drunk. “Her reaction was automatic and inescapable,” Brick said. According to One Billion Rising Revolution’s website, one in three women across the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. This Valentine’s Day from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., Nick Rorick, Rain Equine, Brick and a group of local artists and musicians will dance, sing and deliver a message of hope and survival in
concert with the One Billion Rising international event. The local event will be held at Basin Park. Over the last few weeks, the group has been rehearsing a dance at Melonlight Dance for the event. Brick said that when Mary Jo Rose approached her to sing at the event, Rose and fellow organizer Sandy Allison were unaware of the attack. Brick saw this as an opportunity to give a voice to other survivors. “Things happened in my life so I can hand them they key to help set them free,” she said. In keeping with the event’s theme song, Brick said she is ready to break the chains that keep women from reporting violence. She agrees with anti-sexism educator Jackson Katz who says in his “Ted” talk that “women who speak out get shut down.” “In our country, we have a culture that silences and blames women, protects men, and that does not recognize how pervasive and deeply we have hidden this crime in our country,” Brick said. “The whole story is the story that happens to women all over the place. How can it be the number one killer and we don’t have the focus on it? That’s how blind we have become.” Local anti-domestic violence advocate Linda Maiella, who started the Purple Flower Domestic Violence Resource Center, said that though the Purple Flower is a great start, Carroll County still has a long way to go. Donations will be accepted for the Purple Flower at Saturday’s event. “We need to keep raising awareness in the community. People are apathetic in the community toward this issue,” she said. Maiella cites the murder of Laura Aceves as an example. Aceves was killed by her ex-boyfriend on New Year’s Eve 2012 in Eureka Springs. “This community didn’t rally around Laura about what happened that was part of the breakdown in the system that caused Laura’s murder,” Maiella said. “The reaction I’ve gotten when I try to talk about domestic violence is that people don’t want to hear it or acknowledge it exists in our beautiful town here. “People were offended that we brought in the Huffington Post to cover the story.”

Though well-intended, the constitutionality of Eureka Springs’ new anti-discrimination ordinance could be challenged by conservatives, potentially opening the city up to lawsuits and costing the city millions in legal fees. Eureka Springs’ city attorney Tim Weaver told the council Monday night that the ordinance could “potentially violate someone’s constitutional rights under a 1983 action under federal law” and neither the city nor the state is “tort immune” for those. Prior to the city passing the ordinance, Weaver advised the council to move with caution. You can’t put criminal penalties on someone’s constitutional rights, and if you do, you are violating that person’s rights “by virtue of the law.” “It may be better to let this play out on a much larger scale than have us be the test case when the city comes under fire by the state,” he said. City-state battleground Less than a day after Eureka Springs passed its ordinance preventing businesses from discriminating against lesbian, gays, bisexuals and transgenders, or LGBTs, and other minorities, the Arkansas House Judiciary Committee advanced a bill that would protect Arkansans from “undue burdens on the free exercise of religion.” During Monday night’s council meeting, Aldermen James DeVito and David Mitchell said they prefer passing the ordinance before the state passes its law, even if the law prohibits enforcement of the ordinance.
“I still feel more comfortable in reading it and passing it and letting the cards fall where they may,” Mitchell told the council. DeVito stressed the importance of the city’s role in governing its own people. “The authority of the law and government starts with the city. The state is trying to prohibit the ability for cities to pass laws to protect their citizens,” he said. State Rep. Bob Ballinger, R-Hindsville, whose district includes Eureka Springs, sponsored HB 1228, the Con-
“It may be better to let this play out on a much larger scale than have us be the test case when the city comes under fire by the state.” – Tim Weaver
science Protections Act. Ballinger’s bill would create remedies and penalties for violations of religious protections, while Eureka’s ordinance would allow the city to impose criminal penalties, or fines, from $100 to $500 per violation, on businesses that violate the anti-discrimination ordinance. Simply put, HB 1228 could allow a business owner to refuse to bake wedding cakes or perform marriage ceremonies for same-sex couples, while Eureka’s ordinance says a city can fine such a business for refusing services to LGBTs. Last Sept., the city considered a similar
anti-discrimination ordinance but it was voted down 3-2 because city council members didn’t see a need for the law in “such an open-minded city.” The ordinance is based on an ordinance Fayetteville attempted to pass last fall that would prohibit housing or employment discrimination against LGBT people and other groups and was written to preempt Sen. Bart Hester’s SB 202, which could deny cities the right to pass their own anti-discrimination ordinance. SB 202 was a direct response to Fayetteville’s ordinance and was co-sponsored in the House by Rep. Ballinger. “If it’s a butcher who is a Muslim and doesn’t deal in pork, you can’t make him deal in pork,” Ballinger told the committee. “If it’s a Christian who is against same-sex marriage, you can’t make him perform a same-sex marriage.” Regarding Eureka’s new law, Ballinger said, “That’s good for them, but it’s not going to work.” Ballinger’s bill is based on the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which played a large role in last year’s U.S. Supreme Court Hobby Lobby case that posed the question of whether for-profit corporations have a right to exercise religious freedom by refusing to comply with a government mandate. Hobby Lobby won its fight against government-mandated contraception on the basis that it violated the company owners’ and employees’ religious freedoms. Eureka Springs’ Mayor Butch Berry, who under the ordinance would be the city’s civil rights administrator, could sign the ordinance this week after he receives final revisions from the council.

Gov. Hutchinson appoints Wolfinbarger to state Parks and Recreation Commission
Randy Wolfinbarger, general manager of Best Western Inn of the Ozarks, was appointed Tuesday by Gov. Asa Hutchinson to the Arkansas Parks, Recreation and Travel Commission. Wolfinbarger said he is very honored to hold the position and Wolfinbarger plans to do his best to serve the citizens of Eureka and the state. Hutchinson called Wolfinbarger Tuesday morning to let him know about the appointment. “Asa wanted to verify if I was still interested in serving and if I could represent the state to the best of my ability,” Wolfinbarger
said. “I told him it would be an honor to serve the state and said yes because Eureka Springs needs representation there.” Wolfinbarger said that he put in the request to be appointed a few months ago because he wanted to see Eureka Springs represented at the state level. “Eureka contributes a great deal to tourism for the state. I’m hoping this might give us a little more voice and input. People from Eureka are heavily involved in the commission and its decision,” he said. Wolfinbarger is no stranger to the commission and has worked closely already with several members. “There are some fine people on the commission that I already know and have worked with on various projects.” Wolfinbarger replaces Barbara Harvel’s position. The appointment expires Jan. 14, 2021.

where he was later pronounced dead. According to ESPD Chief Thomas Achord, Det. Bryan Jones received preliminary results Monday afternoon from the state medical examiner that said Miller’s death was the result of natural causes. The preliminary report ruled out foul play.

Council votes down proposed circus ordinance – again By Alana Cook
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Despite pleas from local animal rights proponents, the Eureka Springs city council ordinance banning circuses in the city limits failed on a vote of 3-2. Alderwoman Mickey Schneider voted against the ordinance because she said she believes the citizens of Eureka want a chance to vote on the ordinance. Alderman David Mitchell could have cast the deciding vote but voted “present” instead. Though some city council members said there is no rush to pass the ordinance, Mitchell moved and Alderman James DeVito seconded the motion to have the ordinance put back on the agenda for the next council meeting. Council members considered two versions of the ordinance, one that failed on its second reading last November, and a revised version by animal rights proponent Rachel Brix that is more comprehensive. Schneider and DeVito disagreed about
whether the ordinance should go out for public vote. “The people in this town want to ban circuses but they want to be part of that motion. I did a count and it came down overwhelmingly that people were saying no to the ban because they want to vote on the ordinance,” she said. DeVito said it is too expensive to put the ordinance out for public vote. “It’s the responsibility for us to do the work of this community and not put everything on the ballot,” he said while expressing empathy for both circus animals and local animal rights proponents. “Overwhelmingly the people of this community have come before us to address their heartfelt concerns. They feel the animals’ pain and they are sensitive people so we should respect their concerns,” he said. Brix, Tracellen Kelly of the Doggie Thrift Store, and several other animal rights proponents gave public comment supporting the circus ban.

Transition ROUSSEAU ARCENEAUX, JR., a resident of Eureka Springs was born Feb. 13, 1935 in Raceland, Louisiana, a son of Rousseau Joseph Arceneaux, Sr. and Jane (Triche) Arceneaux. He departed this life Monday, Feb. 9, 2015 in his home with family by his side in Eureka Springs, at the age of 79 years. On November 8, 1953, he was united in marriage with Janelle LeBlanc. In 1964 he started R.J.’s Auto and Truck Repairs, Inc. His dream to have customers drive from all parts of the country for his services came true. He enjoyed that dream until he retired in 2008. The automotive shop was not his only passion and far from his only skill. Besides being a self-made successful businessman, he was truly a successful jack of all trades. In his retirement, his great joy was woodworking and spending time with his family. With all of his many talents and gifts, he was a man with the greatest gift, he loved helping people. He could fix any problem with his wealth of talents and knowledge and it was appreciated by many throughout his life. He was a no-nonsense, extremely hard working man, and seeing one of his children or grandchildren would bring a smile as bright as the sun. He loved his family as deeply and they were his greatest joy. He lived the last six months in the Ozark Mountains in Eureka Springs. He spent his days enjoying the beautiful views and doing woodworking. R.J. is survived by his loving wife of sixty-one years, Janelle (LeBlanc) Arceneaux. He is also survived by his daughter, Carla Arceneaux Short and husband Louis Short; his sons, Chad Arceneaux and Mike Arceneaux and fiancée, Kay Landry; his grandchildren, Nicole Lavergne and husband Neal, Chris Suire and wife Jennifer, Eric Suire and wife Leslie, Dylan Arceneaux, Morgan Arceneaux, Noah Landry, and Lori Broussard; great-grandchildren, Jobie Racca, Riley Latiolais, Christian Suire, Ainsley Suire, Eli Suire, Emma Suire, and Reese Suire; one greatgreat-grandchild, Emilia Fangue; two Godsons,

Chamber’s legislative luncheon is success
Lovely County Citizen More than 100 people, including city leaders and local business owners, attended the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce’s legislative luncheon in Little Rock last week. “We reinforced Eureka’s visibility with all the government agencies who participated, including state parks and tourism and the Arkansas Hospitality Association,” Chamber President Mike Bishop said. Arkansas Economic Development Commission grants manager Jennifer Chunn and state Rep. Bob Ballinger of Hindsville sat in on a presentation by Cromwell Architects Engineers about what to do with the vacant high school property. Bishop said the Cham-
ber plans on unveiling new ideas by early next week. State Rep. Bryan King of Green Forest introduced Eureka Springs Mayor Butch Berry on the Senate floor at the beginning of the afternoon legislative session and Kent Butler, marketing director of the Great Passion Play, gave the invocation at the start of the session. City leaders also got to meet Gov. Asa Hutchinson and several luncheon attendees visited the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism headquarters. Several Eureka Springs High School students served as pages during the legislative sessions. Coincidentally, it was also Tourism Day at the State Capitol.

Brick had to drop out of school because she said school authorities refused to protect her from her attacker. Ponce, who cares for her daughter’s three children, says they suffer from symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Both say that speaking out and supporting other survivors is integral to their healing. “I get up in the morning and put one foot in front of another,” Brick said.

Just in from Italy, the new marble statue prepares for its final home at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church.
St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church replaces broken statues By Diane Newcomb
CarrollCountyAds@gmail.com
The heavy task of replacing the broken statues at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church is complete, thanks to the efforts of the parishioners and Joe McClung Jr., who headed up the project. The church replaced two statues, one of Jesus on the cross, and one of him being taken down from the cross. Both were broken beyond repair two years ago when an elderly parishioner accidentally drove his car over the hill and into the statues. No one was harmed in the accident, and insurance covered the $40,000 cost of replacing the statues. McClung, who was the church’s finance director at the time of the accident, said it took a long time to replace the statues because the church had to find a sculptor in Carrara, Italy, who dealt with Carrara marble. Early last year, the church contracted with an Italian sculptor to be-
gin the work. “We wanted the statues to be like the others at the church that came from the original quarry in the ‘50s,” McClung said. “Since the church is on the National Historic Register, it’s important to the continued restoration of the town.” The church kept one of the broken pieces and sent it back to Carrara to match the statue’s original size, style and finish, according to Rod and Phyllis McGuire, church parishioners. McClung said he commends Zac Martin of Advanced Masonry for his delicate care and precision when installing the statues. Zac and his brother Spenser Martin of Advanced Masonry worked alongside Joel Tyler of Eureka Stone Company to maneuver the heavy statues. They carried the statues from a truck parked near the bell tower, down a ramp and into their proper places in line with the others that portray the story of Jesus’ crucifixion.

Ates gets chance as interim fire chief
success and safety.” What are your most memorable experiences working as a fire chief in other cities? “My most memorable experience in the first fire chief position was simply that we were able to almost double the number of volunteers. That was my first time to play in the upper ranks and it was a joy to find that there were so many energetic, excited people who wanted to spend time as volunteer firefighters and EMTs. “My second most memorable experience is from my recent tenure as fire chief in Eudora, Kan. That city had the most amazing volunteers I have ever seen. They trained to the professional firefighter level
and poured their heart into the department’s success. In four years we went from 25 to a peak of 42 members, put volunteers on shifts and had them staffing the station. “At a moment’s notice we could turn out a full engine crew of four to six personnel with advanced emergency medical capabilities. This was vital as our city did not have an ambulance service. Of our 42 people, I believe 26 became EMTs and 16 trained to be intermediates which could start IVs and do advanced airway procedures. Just like here in Eureka Springs, the city had some very dedicated people.” If chosen as fire chief, what is your vision for the department? “At this week’s staff meeting I caught
myself saying the words ‘I have a dream.’ At the risk of plagiarizing Dr. Martin Luther King, I do have a vision for the fire department. I would like to implement simple policies which are effective for any staff member regardless whether they are full-time, part-time or volunteer. “I would like our response guidelines to be easily understood and applicable over a wide range of emergencies as befits a mixed department. There should never be a question of ‘what do I do?’ When a member of the public dials 911, they want the best qualified and trained responders. The person in need doesn’t know or care if the firefighters are career or volunteer. “They simply want and deserve the best emergency services available in their hour of need. Eureka Springs Fire and EMS has considerable public support. I want to see that our fire department is always worthy of that honor.” Tell us more about yourself. “My wife, Carrie, and I moved here about five years ago. Carrie’s a nurse and we’ve been married 16 years. We lived in the Ozarks before moving to Kansas and always missed the hills and hollers of the mountains while we were away. “We have two rescued fur babies whom we claim as our four-legged, floppy-eared, furry children. Carrie loves birds and has bird feeders all over the back deck, yard and windows. “My hobby is model trains. Nothing is more relaxing after a hard day than to head to the basement and build a toy train car or repair a little building. Yes, the towns on my train layout have more fire stations than average. It gives them a better insurance rating.”

Randy Ates, public information officer for the Eureka Springs Fire & EMS Department, is Eureka’s new interim fire chief. Billy Summers held the position for the last two months. Mayor Butch Berry said because both are highly qualified, he is giving Ates an opportunity in the interim position before he names a permanent chief. “Randy and Billy Summers were ranked so close together in their abilities, I wanted to give Randy the same opportunity that Billy was given to lead the department,” Berry said. “Both of them would make an excellent choice for leadership of the Fire Department.” Berry said he will make a final decision at the beginning of April. Ates has 30 years of experience in fire and emergency medical services, with most of those years in a managerial position, either as a department head in the city or county or as a senior supervisor or manager in the corporate world. “This gives me more experiences to draw upon and multiple viewpoints to scrutinize difficult issues,” he said. Ates sat down with the Citizen to answer questions about his qualifications for the position. What are your unique qualifications? “I live just outside of town in the Eureka Springs fire district. Not only am I a full-timer on the paid staff, but I also respond off-duty with the volunteer crews. This gives me a close working relationship with all of the fire department members. As a local, I have a vested interest in the people in my community and in the town’s

The Natural Way Natural remedies for Measles
D
o we have measles in Arkansas? As of this writing none have been reportJim Fain ed but there have been measles in Texas and Illinois... not so far away. Measles can show up in anybody and can be easily confused with flu. Except, a miserable rash comes up a little later that doesn’t happen with flu. After exposure there is an incubation period of about a week then measles typically begins with a mild to moderate fever, often accompanied by a persistent cough, runny nose, inflamed eyes (conjunctivitis) and a sore throat. This relatively mild illness may last two or three days. Later, however, when the rash sets in the misery goes nuclear. The rash can start at the top of the head and go all the way down to the feet, often itchy. Sometimes, there are small discolored spots inside the mouth, too. When the rash develops, a high fever pops up with all of the misery that is like a bad flu but with a monstrous rash. You can spread the disease until the rash starts to disappear. Of course, if you’re unsure err on the side of caution as this is a very hazardous sickness for babies, pregnant women, immune compromised and elderly people. Measles is a viral infection so don’t go to your MD expecting an antibiotic shot to help. Technically, it is a lipid (fat) encapsulated virus like the flu virus so monolaurin should work. From a natural health point of view high dose monolaurin taken as soon as possible, probiotics, optimal vitamin D levels (which you should have started doing last fall), immune boosters are all called for. Elder and peppermint tea are excellent choices. Covering sneezes, hand washing and using lots of soap and water are all good things. Soft foods, liquids and chicken soup with garlic and ginger sound delicious to me. By all means stay home until the rash starts to go away unless you must get health attention. The question of vaccination needs to be discussed by parents and spouses. In all of the healing approaches like Oriental, Auyervedic, Western medical and even Natural; benefit versus risk must be looked at. Seems to me, when in a high risk situation of getting a nasty disease and a vaccine that works is available... then get the vaccine.
Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: Stand up straight on Friday. If you bend over, Cupid’s arrow will go astray and your left butt cheek will fall madly in love with the little old lady on a park bench.

Time to snap back to attention and toe the line with a snazzy little thong. CANCER: Wednesday is your lucky day.

Ask your folks to take the kids for a few more days, because this is bliss.

ESHS Drama Troupe to perform dinner theater comedy By Alana Cook The Eureka Springs High School Drama Troupe, ES Tableaux, will hold a dinner theater performance of “Check, Please,” a comedic skit about the perils of teenage dating, at 6 p.m. Friday at the high school auditorium. The performance will feature a series of comic playlets depicting unusual first-date experiences. “Check, Please!” follows a series of dinner dates as they go horribly wrong. Rick Mann, the ESHS drama teacher who directed the troupe in the highly acclaimed local performance of Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” last December, is heading up the production. Returning troupe member D.J. Rassinier plays Ken, who in Rassinier’s words is “pretty much the epitome of everything a creep should be. “He’s foreign and awkward and pretty much my alternate personality,” Rassinier said. “ I’m naturally rather awkward. Just ask anyone who’s met me. I believe this part was meant for me.” Leah Erskine describes her character, Pearl as “a charming kleptomaniac, unlike myself. “We do, however, have one similarity — a flair for dramatic exits,” she said. Other students who are participating in the production include: Heather
