In 1980 she moved to Eureka Springs and would live there until 1995, when she moved to Salida and one of her oldest loves, the mountains of Colorado. As a young girl she would travel with her family to Denver, where she would spend summers with her aunts. They would take her into the mountains to explore and when it was time to return to Missouri she always cried, as it broke her heart when the last view of the Rockies disappeared from the car window. She always thought she lived in Eureka’s best times, treasuring memories of dear friends and people: Chief Tyson riding through the streets on horseback, breakfast at Brenda and Lana’s, the Group W bench, listening and dancing to the likes of Wolf and Gary, Beto and the Fairlanes, and The Undergrass Boys to name a few. Like many Eurekans Liz worked a variety of jobs over the years, including helping run The Imagery and The Spa Shop. She also taught briefly at Clear Springs School but her main occupation during her Eureka years was musician. For almost two decades she travelled throughout the U.S., performing and teaching traditional music with myself, Bruce Warren. She was a natural teacher and entertainer and was comfortable in various venues, whether giving an informance for a handful of kids and teachers at a one-room prairie school in South Dakota or performing for thousands at festivals and conventions. Liz was a true artist and approached life daily with an artist’s eyes and senses. She excelled in many art forms, including writing and composing music, but she especially loved working in fiber arts, both functional and sculptural, and showed her work around the U.S. She also came to love creating mobiles;
combining intricately bent stainless steel wire with beads, stained glass, rocks and other found objects. I find it significant that this Libra sought balance in her mobiles, along with personal expression, harmony, movement, light and beauty. Liz was also a natural counselor. She would often find herself drawn to people in need of help, whether a dear friend or a stranger at the grocery store. She was one of those people you could tell your deepest secrets, and she would hold them safe for you. Whenever faced with what others might find a difficult situation, she would meet it head on. She didn’t hesitate to do what she thought was the right thing, no matter how difficult it might be. Leaving behind a daughter, Rosemary, who she considered her best work, Liz departed this life early on Thanksgiving Day, 2015. I’m sure her many dear friends in Salida, Eureka and elsewhere are mourning this great loss while trying to cope with the existing void. She was, without a doubt, the most amazing person I have ever known, inspiring others to be and do their best. To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children ...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Parks commission hires new director By Alana Cook
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation commissioners emerged from an hour-long executive session during Tuesday night’s meeting and voted unanimously to hire Justin Huss, a parks superintendent from Jonesboro, as the city’s new parks director. “We welcome Justin Huss as our new director. He’s from Jonesboro and is the superintendent of Lake Frierson Park, an Arkansas state park smaller than Leatherwood,” commission chairman Bill Featherstone said. “He has been an employee of state park system for about seven years.” After spending six weeks combing through a stack of 85 applicants and conducting phone interviews, commissioners invited a select few candidates to Eureka Springs to meet in person. “The results of the search were profound,” Featherstone said. “They were outstanding candidates from all over the state

and the country so we met with them individually and got to know them while they were here. “We collectively felt like one candidate rose to the top. Almost as important as his qualifications was that he was a really good fit for Eureka Springs and for our parks system and we were excited about that choice,” he said. Huss will officially begin his new job in late March. He replaces Interim Director Donna Woods, who agreed to assume the role temporarily after Bruce Levine was terminated last June. Commissioners also discussed ways to take care of the wild hogs problem. Featherstone said it will cost Parks $1,500 to mitigate the feral hogs problem but that the company won’t be able to do anything until the fall because simply put, the hogs are smart and they won’t budge. “You have to lure the hogs into the cage one at a time,” he said.

The Eureka Springs group travel committee welcomed 25 group travel planners from around the country to experience Eureka Springs for a familiarization tour last Wednesday. “Collaboration is the key to group travel because when a group comes to the area, they are just not experiencing one thing,” Kent Butler, Chamber of Commerce chair and committee co-chair, said. Butler represented the Great Passion Play and joined Karen Pryor, CAPC’s sales director, Linda Box with the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa and the 1905 Basin Park Hotel, Ike Wever with Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge and several other Arkansas representatives at the Select Traveler conference in Little Rock recently. The newly-formed committee is a collaboration between the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce, the City Advertising and Promotion Commission and local group travel partners. A familiarization tour gives travel planners the opportunity to get a taste of the area so they can better describe their experience to people who are planning a visit or vacation. “Unfortunately, since this tour was a small part of a larger familiarization tour sponsored by the state throughout Northwest Arkansas, we didn’t get to show them all of Eureka Springs because you simply can’t do that in just an overnight stay,” English said. “However, we were able to give them enough of a taste that several people remarked they were looking forward to coming back to the area for a longer stay and more importantly bringing back their groups.” Coming from Terra Studios near Fayetteville on Wednesday afternoon, the group

traveled through Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, toured the downtown area where they had appetizers at FRESH with Ken Ketelsen, CAPC Commission Chair. The group took a special backstage tour of the Great Passion Play and the Sacred Arts Museum. The Crescent Hotel provided dinner in the Crystal Dining Room along with a wine tasting by Keels Creek Winery and 25 local community partners joined the group for the evening. The group then took a small ghost tour and retired to their rooms at the Crescent Hotel for the evening and enjoyed breakfast at Myrtie Mae’s, toured Thorncrown Chapel, and headed to Rogers to complete their
tour. In partnership with the CAPC, the group travel committee is also pleased to announce a longer familiarization tour planned for the fall of 2016. “Many planners want to sell Eureka Springs to their groups, and the best way to do that is for them to experience it for themselves,” Pryor said. “That’s what we are offering to these group travel professionals in September.” Anyone interested in learning more about the group travel industry is welcome to attend the group travel committee’s next meeting at 2 p.m. Thursday at FRESH restaurant.

Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation members, Parks commissioners, city leaders and Mayor Butch Berry made an impromptu appearance on the courthouse steps before Tuesday’s Parks meeting to ‘drop $50’ for the center’s new fundraising campaign. Parks Chairman Bill Featherstone said he got the idea to ask the city’s residents to donate $50 or less each after hearing how successful Bernie Sanders has been raising large sums of money for his presidential campaign by asking supporters to contribute small amounts and “share the wealth.”
Dropping 50 for a good cause Parks Chairman launches ‘Igave50’ campaign to raise funds for proposed Highlanders Community Center B y A lana C ook
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Eureka Springs Parks & Recreation Commissioner Bill Featherstone said he is the first to admit that social media is not his forte but he said an idea for raising money to build a new community center dawned on him while driving home last Friday. “When I left the board meeting last Friday, I said to myself, ‘I’ll be like Bernie. We can raise money one small donation at a time.’ ” That’s when he called on local social media educator Jacqueline Wolven to help. It only took a day for Featherstone to launch the I Gave $50 website. To raise $100,000 by April 1 to launch Phase I of the project, the site challenges everyone who loves Eureka Springs to donate $50 each and for those who
can’t afford $50, Featherstone said the site has “donate” buttons that will accept any dollar amount. “If 2,000 people donate $50 each, that’s $100,000,” he said. “It’s like how Bernie is doing it. His average donation is $25.” Featherstone said the campaign is about getting everyone off the sidelines to “throw some bucks in the pot.” “Take a leap of faith and trust the Foundation to do the right thing for the community. We must invest in ourselves first before we can expect others to invest in us,” he said. For more information on the financial plan for building the center at an estimated cost of $2 million visit http://www.eurekaspringscommunitycenter.org/about-us/financial-model/.

Ramsey, Flanigan seek district judge position By Samantha Jones
CCNNews@cox-internet.com
Beginning Jan. 1, 2017, Carroll County will share a full-time district judge with Madison County. Madison County District Judge Dale Ramsey and local attorney Chris Flanagin are running for the position. Ramsey explained that the district judge position will be changing slightly. Until this election, Ramsey said, Carroll County has had two part-time district judges. Madison County has had one. Arkansans voted to have full-time district judges 15 years ago, Ramsey said, and it has been slowly implemented throughout the Flanagin state since. Ramsey said most counties in Northwest Arkansas have implemented the new system, saying many counties in southern Arkansas have yet to elect full-time district judges. The reason for the change, Ramsey continued, is to have better educated judges. “Full-time judges would be trained better because they spend all their time being judges instead of being judges part of the time and lawyers part of the time,” Ramsey said. “I also think there will be less conflicts of interest.” With the position becoming full-time, Ramsey said he understands why some might be concerned about the district judge being less local. “There’s something about having a local judge you can see at your Walmart and your Harps store every day, but I think the district judge can be a member of the community he serves no matter where he lives,” Ramsey said. Flanagin agreed that the change is a good thing for Arkansas. “There have been pilot programs where we
LAST WEEK’S QUESTION
watched and learned and saw whether it works or doesn’t work. I think the overwhelming consensus is this is a more efficient court system,” Flanagin said. The full-time position, Ramsey added, will not be based in one location. He said the new district judge will have a desk at each district court in Carroll and Madison counties. “This is a traveling judge position,” Ramsey said. Ramsey acknowledged that he doesn’t live in Carroll County but said that shouldn’t prevent him from being part of the community. “If elected, I would imagine 80 percent of my time would be spent in Ramsey Carroll County because most of the courts are up here,” Ramsey said. In fact, Ramsey said he feels he’s already becoming part of the community. Over the past year, he said he’s visited Carroll County residents doorto-door. He also recalled attending various events in the county, such as pancake breakfasts, rodeos, fairs, volunteer fire department suppers and Chamber of Commerce meetings. “The most enjoyable part of my campaign so far has been going door-to-door. I’ve been to 3,000 voters’ homes so far,” Ramsey said. Flanagin, who has worked in Carroll County for more than 14 years, cited his experience serving the people of Carroll and Madison counties. He served as part and full-time deputy prosecuting attorney in Carroll County from 2003 to 2006 and has been president of the Carroll/Madison County Bar Association for the last six years. “I think the main thing is my experience has been right here in Carroll and Madison counties the See Judge, page 19

Crescent named to National Historic Register The 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa in Eureka Springs has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the country’s official list of historically significant properties, Arkansas Historic Preservation Program Director Frances McSwain announced on Feb. 11. A press release from the AHPP announcing the listing described the Crescent as “a building that reflects the French Renaissance and Richardsonian Romanesque styles of architecture.” The release quoted from the National Register nomination: “The 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa is an architecturally significant work by architect Isaac S. Taylor from St. Louis, Mo. He is world-renowned for leadership in the execution of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. He also designed a total of 10 hotels during his career; nine of which were actually built with only a few still standing. “His modern classic design of the Crescent pulls many elements from his other works. Such features include the roughfaced, square stonework; the Roman arches over the windows and French doors; and the towers that create the penthouse level. However, it is this mix of various styles that gives the Crescent a uniquely authentic style that sets it apart from Taylor’s other works.” Jack Moyer, hotel general manager and vice president of operations for both the Crescent and its sister downtown hotel, the 1905 Basin Park Hotel, responded to the announcement. “We could not be happier,” Moyer said.

The 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa in Eureka Springs has been named to the National Register of Historic Places.
“The Crescent already is a proud member of NTHP’s Historic Hotels of America, but this honor further validates this ‘Grand Ol’ Lady of The Ozarks’ rightful place in the pantheon of preserved and functional landmarks. We have Marty and Elise Roenigk to thank for ‘protecting the irreplaceable’ when they purchased the Crescent in 1997 and then put millions of dollars into its refurbishing which made a pathway to economic sustainability through quality of product and delivering above guest expectations. “In fact, it was Marty who was instrumental in the formulation of our hotel creed upon which all employees are schooled when first employed: ‘Protecting The Irreplaceable’; ‘Creating Lifetime Memories’ for our guests; ‘Being Community Mind-
ed’ for our town, region, state and nation; and ‘Building The Individual’ through ongoing training which results in promotion from within when an upper level position becomes open.” Other Arkansas buildings also named to the National Register were Overstreet Hall on the campus of Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia; Union Chapel School and Shop Building in Conway County; the Little River County Training School Historic District in Ashdown; and Monroe County Bank Building in Brinkley. “We are honored to join the list of just 577 properties, joining the Capital in Little Rock as a historic hotel significant enough to be named on the registry individually,” Moyer said.

Youth, community leaders rise to stop violence against women Over 100 Carroll County and Eureka Springs residents gathered last Saturday at The Space as part of the One Billion Rising Revolution to end violence against women. Several children and teens participated in the event, some sang with their parents and some gave speeches against domestic violence.
Quentin Cook, son of Lovely County Citizen Associate Editor Alana Cook, said a few words in support of his mother and his girlfriend Sam. Cook read from her column and Sam gave a five-minute speech stressing the importance of youth taking a stand against violence. The event was originally scheduled to be in Basin
Park but organizers moved it because the forecast called for sleet. Some of the concert-goers said they thought the acoustics in The Space made the were better than at Basin Park. Linda Maiella and Barb Weems of the Purple Flower Domestic Violence Resource Center gave speakers and entertainers gift bags for participating.
Sheriff Randy Mayfield speaks about his efforts to reduce domestic violence in Carroll County.
Rain Equine and Catherine Reed lead an enthusiastic rendition of ‘Closer To Fine’ by the Indigo Girls.
In its fourth year as a nationwide event, One Billion Rising raises awareness for domestic violence in the United States and helps to empower women through song, dance and the act of standing together as one. The Eureka Springs chapter is one of thousands nationwide to simultaneously perform a flash-mob style dance in honor of victims and survivors.
Standing together at Saturday’s rally, Virginia Ralph and her daughter Janie captivated the crowd with their sweet harmony while singing a tune more than 160 years old. Long time performer Virginia was elated to have her daughter sing alongside her in public for the very first time. Upon hearing Janie’s voice, the crowd was elated as well.

June 8, 1927 – Feb. 12, 2016 Nancy Sutcliffe, a resident of Eureka Springs, passed from this life to Heaven on Friday, Feb. 12, 2016, at the Circle of Life Hospice in Springdale. Nancy’s journey in life began in Honolulu, Hawaii, on June 8, 1927. Nancy is preceded in death by her parents, Tatsuo and Masayo (Ouchi) Takaoka; two brothers, Kinley and Takeo Takaoka; and one sister, Shima Dwyer. She grew up in Kekaha, Kauai, Hawaii where she attended Waimea High School and worked in the family grocery store. After high school, she and her sister Shima moved to Chicago, where Nancy met her husband of 28 years and father of her four children, Harry Sutcliffe. Eureka Springs has been Nancy’s home since 1965. During that time she owned and operated Bell’s Flowers and then served the community of Eureka Springs as City Clerk for 20 some years where she became known for her welcoming smile by townspeople and visitors alike. Nancy issued more marriage certificates than one can imagine and loved that part of her job. Nancy is survived by her four children: Priscilla Willis and her husband Donald Willis of Huntington Beach, Calif., Harrison Sutcliffe of Eureka Springs, Ruth Heagney and her husband Tom Heagney of Greenwich, Conn., and Kathy Nelson of Berryville and Springdale; six grandchildren: Erica and Adam Sutcliffe, Claire and Catherine Chabert, Justin Nelson and Chloe Willis; as well as two great-grandchildren, Kaleb and Kagen Ellis. Visitation was held from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2016, at Nelson’s Chapel of the Springs in Eureka Springs with graveside service celebrating her life and beautiful soul, was held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2016 at the Eureka Springs Cemetery with Reverend Tim Garrison officiating.

Either pop out of the jar or let yourself stew; at least you’ll be well-preserved. Gemini: Fend for yourself this week. A chicken in every pot is a lot better than pot in every chicken. Those fowl-mouthed birds can clean you out of munchies. Cancer: On Tuesday, an old friend is a sight for sore eyes. It’s definitely better than a sore sight for your eyes, which happens every time your great-grandma wears her see-through blouse to the family reunion. Leo: It’s great to get out of the hamster cage, but taking a break means relaxing, not running in circles. Stretch out for a nap and leave the wheel behind this time around. Besides, it’s really hard to strap that giant hamster wheel on the car for a vacation. Virgo: Love means never having to say you’re sorry, because your sweetie already took revenge by letting the dog lick your coffee cup before breakfast this morning. Apologize immediately for whatever you did, or you may be dragging your butt on the carpet by tonight. Libra: Wrap yourself in patience and kindness, and your heart will always be warm. Add a parka and some woolly socks too, because kindness doesn’t prevent frostbite on your toes. Scorpio: Your boss comes looking for you on Wednesday. Sit up tall and don’t crawl under your desk like last time. Everyone looks suspicious when they’re hiding in a nest of computer cords. Sagittarius: Sometimes the

best course of action is an obstacle course, so tie your shoes and practice jumping. There will be a few hoops ahead, and one of them might be on fire. Capricorn: Just your luck: you find your place in the universe, and someone’s built a putt-putt course on it. Stand your ground. Karma will back you up, and you might even score a few free games. Aquarius: Everyone wants you to mind your Ps and Qs, but they didn’t mention crossing your

Ts and dotting your Is along the way. If they’re going to be picky about it, grab a few Zzzzs and let them sort out their own alphabet. Pisces: Don’t sit still in that ray of sunshine. Those things move, so grab it by the mane and ride it like John Travolta. Or John Wayne. Any cowboyish John will do. Just hang on, and it will take you through some bright, sunny days.

The Eureka Springs Parks & Recreation Commission and Ozark Offroad Cyclists are asking for the community’s help to begin corridor clearing on the new multi-use beginner trail west of the ball fields parking lot at Lake Leatherwood. The workday is scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 6. Volunteers will meet at Lake Leatherwood ball fields parking lot. If all goes well and enough volunteers show up to help, the trail could be ready for use just in time for spring tourist season.
Pet of the Week
“If a ton of people show up, we may knock it out that one day,” Parks Commission chairman Bill Featherstone said. OORC will provide the tools for clearing the land. Volunteers are encouraged to bring work gloves, water and snacks. “Knowing how OORC works, once they start they go quick so I wouldn’t be surprised if they get a lot knocked out that day. Depending on how the workday goes, I expect an April 1 completion date and ground-breaking ceremony,” Featherstone said. Eureka Springs has about 25 miles of trails but no easy Leatherwood trails, so the beginner’s trail will be a good start-

ing point for those who want to learn offroad cycling because the trail is flat. “The trail will be about one-half of a mile and will be a loop trail on the other side of the creek that will be flat. There will be a connecting trail that will take cyclists to a gravel parking lot across from Miners’ Rock trail head,” Featherstone said. “This is geared for beginner bikers where they can get a feel of a single track trail.” For more information, volunteers can visit www.OzarkOffRoadCyclists. com or the volunteer day Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ events/1554402878211209/.

Clear Spring Fling Auction March 12, 6-9 pm Castle Rogue’s Manor Beaver, Arkansas. The Premiere Art Event of the Season. Featuring services and travel packages, as well as renowned artists’ works, the event highlights the individualistic artistic freedom of handmade art, one of the touchstones of education at Clear Spring.
Jim Nelson studied painting and drawing in college before moving to Eureka Springs in the late 1970s to start a leather shop after working with his brother. He made Eureka Springs his more permanent home. When he built a house some years later he needed big work on empty walls and decided to work in wood. He has been creating modern wall art for eight years now, as well as continuing to paint and draw. The large wooden pieces he creates are three-dimensional puzzles. When asked why he was donating to Clear Spring Fling Auction his replied, “It’s nice to have a choice…to have alternative to mainstream public education…spectacular and unusual.”
