Drowning victim

Friends recall Widener’s adventurous spirit By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

A Eureka Springs woman drowned in Leatherwood Creek on Saturday night. Multiple friends confirmed the woman was 24-year-old Montana Widener. Eureka Springs Fire Chief Nick Samac said the fire department received a call from Widener’s friends around 9:30 p.m. saying Widener had been riding an inner-tube, went into Leatherwood Creek and never resurfaced. “Her friends were there. They witnessed her go under. They advised she had a helmet and a life jacket on,” Samac said. Heavy rains Friday and Saturday created dangerous conditions throughout the county and across the state. The Arkansas Department of Emergency Management reported via email Sunday night that five people, including Widener, had died in incidents related to the severe weather. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported a sixth weather-related fatality Monday, and also reported that the search for two children missing after being swept away in floodwaters in Madison County is now being called a recovery effort. Samac said the Eureka Springs Fire Department worked with the Carroll County Special Operations Rescue Team, Holiday Island Fire Department and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office to find Widener. They searched until 2 a.m., Samac said, and left when another wave of storms came through. “We decided to postpone until the morning when there was daylight. Hopefully, the water would have receded a little bit,” Samac said. He said Widener was found by friends around 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning, and the search team helped recover her body. Friends say Widener’s death is a big loss to all who knew her. Jazaline Moppin remembered Widener, saying Widener was fearless. “She was the type to go spontaneously on road trips and hikes … an adven-

turer for sure!” Moppin said. “In high school, we would ride around together and dance and sing rap songs at top volume.” One day, Moppin said, she and Widener got stuck in the mud in the rain. They spent 30 minutes digging themselves out, she said. “I was in trouble with my parents for that, because I wasn’t on time to meet them,” Moppin said. “[Widener] covered for me. Montana was like that … always had your back.” Moppin recalled Widener’s hard-working spirit and love for animals. Widener will be deeply missed, Moppin said. “The way she went was tragic … so, so sad,” Moppin said. “But it was very

typical Montana, loud and brave. She went for it despite the dangers. She was only 24, but I swear she lived with such volume and fullness.” Angie McCoy agreed. McCoy remembered when she met Widener, saying she felt Widener was warm, vibrant and caring. “She just had a carefree spirit. I think she could connect with anyone she met,” McCoy said. “She was beautiful inside and out.” The loss is especially tough, McCoy said, because she became closer to Widener just this past weekend. “I got to spend Friday with her, and it was actually the day I felt like she and I had bonded,” McCoy said. “She is one of the few I felt comfortable being

around.” Rodney Slane said Widener was his first friend in Eureka Springs. When he moved to town five years ago, Slane said, he didn’t know anybody. “She really helped me through the awkwardness of being here alone and trying to assimilate when you have no friends,” Slane said. “She was the one that came to me, and we hit it off. She started hanging out and she introduced me to everyone, and ever since then, we’ve been really close friends.” He added, “She had a way of helping out everyone she came in contact with. She was fierce, honest, but most of all, she was full of life. She was taken from us too soon and she will never be forgotten.” Widener worked for Event Eureka, a business Slane recently opened with his partner Autumn Spencer. “It’s a huge loss. She’s a huge family member to me. We’ve grown together, and she’s seen her turmoil and I’ve been right beside her helping her through it,” Slane said. “It’s the same with me. I wasn’t always in a great spot, and she was the girl to come behind and pick you up and lift your spirits.” He continued, “Even if her spirits weren’t lifted at the time, she’d put herself aside and make sure you were having a good day. She was the one that put a smile on your face.” Slane said Widener loved her two dogs and being outdoors. Slane has started a Gofundme for Widener to cover funeral costs for her family. Any money left over, Slane said, will be split between the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission. “She was always floating and riding bikes. She was an outdoor enthusiast,” Slane said. “We’re going to try to take care of what she loved as much as possible.” To donate, visit https://www.gofundme.com/montanas-funeral-donation.

Eureka Springs resident John Green will be building a single-car garage on his property at 42 Vaughn in the near future. On Tuesday, April 25, Green asked the Eureka Springs Board of Zoning Adjustment to approve a setback variance so he could build the garage. The meeting began with a public hearing, with no one showing up to speak. Chairwoman Melissa Greene read a letter from property owners at 38 Vaughn saying they support the variance request. Green said he and his wife have been wanting to build a garage on the property because of the possibility of storm damage. The proposed location for the garage, Green said, is on the east side of the home. He said it will align with the house, placed 12 inches from the property line and 21 inches from his neighbor’s property. Greene pointed out that the request had already been approved by the Eureka Springs Historic District Commission and said it meets all the guidelines for a variance request. Commissioner James Morris said he supported the request. “I don’t think it would be any obstruction of view for any other property. I don’t see a problem with it,” Morris said. Commissioner Ann Tandy-Sallee agreed. “You have a lovely home,” she told Green, “and I certainly would not have any

objections to the garage.” The commission voted to approve the request and adjourned the meeting, moving on to the regular meeting of the Eureka Springs Planning Commission. The commission’s first item of business was an application to install a bus at local restaurant Casa Colina. Joseph Joy presented the request, saying the idea is to repurpose a bus to provide extra seating for the restaurant. “We’ll provide a really unique dining experience, as well as a pretty outrageous art project for the city,” Joy said. He said the bus will feature Mexican-themed paintings, focusing on Mexican folk art. “We’re going to be very careful not to offend anybody, because there is an element to some of the art that comes form Mexico that in our culture seems devilish,” Joy said. “We’re not going there. We’re going to keep this very nice, very appropriate …what we’re trying to do is what we’ve been trying to do since we opened the restaurant: to create a unique dining experience for people.” Joy said the bus would seat 16 people. There would be no risk of the bus rolling away, he said, because the tires would be welded to footings and it wouldn’t have an engine. “The tires stay on. They will be one inch off the ground. It’s going to be welded to footings that will be anchored with concrete to the ground, and the tires will

not touch the ground,” Joy said. “We don’t want to take the tires off, and the city code requires they not be on the ground. We have to anchor this structure onto footings.” The commission voted, unanimously approving the application. In other business, the commission heard from Lawrence Blood regarding the proposed demolition of two structures on his property. Blood said the structures are a house and a shed. When he first bought the property, Blood said, he thought he could repair it. “We knew there was damage, but I’m quite a handy person and I had great thoughts to repair it,” Blood said. “But the crawlspace is so small you can’t get under the house to the footings. We just can’t fix it.” Blood added that the house isn’t up to code. “I don’t think there’s an electrical box that has a cover on it,” he said. The rest of the property, he said, is in great shape. He said those two structures are the only part of the property in need of demolition. Morris said he doesn’t like seeing houses razed but agreed there’s no way to repair these structures. Morris moved to approve the request, and the commission agreed to do so. The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 9, at City Hall.

Water, water everywhere

Heavy rains leave Carroll County flooded Lovely County Citizen

Carroll County officials spent Monday assessing the damage caused by weekend flooding throughout the county that resulted from several inches of rainfall Friday and Saturday. One person died in a weather-related incident, and the flooding forced the closure of streets and bridges in areas throughout the county. “This is one of the largest flooding disasters Carroll County has ever had,” said Eureka Springs fire chief Nick Samac, who also serves as director of the Carroll County Office of Emergency Management. “We’ve got roads and bridges washed out throughout the county.” Montana Widener, 24, of Eureka Springs drowned in Leatherwood Creek on Saturday night. Her body was recovered Sunday morning after a search effort that included emergency responders from the Carroll County Special Operations Rescue (SORT) team and other agencies. SORT president Melisa Curtis said the team also rescued several residents who were trapped by floodwaters. Carroll County Judge Sam Barr said Monday that he had verbally declared the county a disaster area. Gov. Asa Hutchinson declared a statewide state of emergency on Sunday. Barr said county crews worked throughout the weekend, and were on the job again Monday. Assessing the full extent of the damage won’t be possible until the waters recede, he said. “We’ve got a lot of road problems,” he said. “We’ve got to wait till the waters recede until we can really tell how bad it is.” Exactly how much rain fell in Carroll County is impossible to say, according to meteorologist Amy Jankowski of the National Weather Service’s Tulsa office, because there isn’t an official reporting station in the county. The nearest reporting station, in Fayetteville, reported total rainfall of 5.27 inches from Friday through Sunday. Jankowski said it’s possible that the precipitation in Carroll County was much more significant. She said she had seen unofficial estimates of up to 10 inches. “There’s definitely spots that got a quite bit more (than the 5.27 inches reported in Fayetteville,” she said. “That’s just what fell at the Fayetteville airport.” Jankowski said more rain is in the forecast from Tuesday night through Thursday morning. Precipitation is expected to be somewhere between three-quarters of an inch and an inch and a half. With the ground already saturated and rivers and creeks running significantly

higher than normal, the additional rain won’t be welcomed. “Unfortunately, all this rain … it’s just going to make everything that much worse,” Jankowski said. Holiday Island Fire Chief Bob Clave said there were several downed trees across the roads and power lines down in the area after the first round of storms last Tuesday, so the fire department barricaded the roads and got the power company involved to get traffic flowing again. “Highway 23 and Highway 187 were completely blocked,” he said. “We had no access to an ambulance from Eureka Springs. Fortunately, there were no calls while the roads were blocked, and we had zero injuries reported from the tornado last week.” The NWS has confirmed that an EF1 tornado struck Holiday Island last Tuesday night. Clave said flooding started in Holiday Island after the weekend’s rain. “The lake came up, and the creek came up,” Clave said. “The water hasn’t been a huge issue. We have several low water crossings, so we put signs up.”

While there were no incidents in Holiday Island related to the rain or flooding, he said there was a vehicle on the west side of Beaver that stalled out in high water. “A car got into the high water on Highway 187 and stalled out,” Clave said. “The people got out safely. The car was in standing high water, not rushing or flowing high water. So they got out of the car and walked to a nearby house.” Things were mostly back to normal in the Holiday Island area as of Monday, he said, with Table Rock Lake expected to have crested sometime between 6 a.m. and noon. “We’re back in normal mode now, except for watching the lake,” Clave said. “The volunteers out here worked 18 hours on and off Saturday. The group of volunteers out here can’t be beat. They’re the best group of people I’ve worked with in 50 years. They were out in the rain watching the creeks until midnight that night.” Crews from Carroll Electric Cooperative Corp. also put in long hours working to restore service. Nancy Plagge, director of corporate communications for the cooperative, said 1,861 members in Carroll County were affected by outages, along with 2,174 members in Carr Lane, Shell Knob, and Blue Eye, Mo. The cooperative, which provides service to areas of Benton, Carroll, Madison and Newton counties in Arkansas and parts of Barry and Stone counties in Missouri, suffered a total of 97 broken poles system-wide. “These torrential rains also caused several underground lines to wash out or burn up due to lightning strikes,” Plagge said in an email. “Also several underground lines were pulled up when trees uprooted. This round of weather was no respecter of overhead or underground services.” Carroll County Sheriff Randy Mayfield said the flooding resulted in a lot of impassable roads over the weekend. About 14 weather- or flood-related calls were received by Carroll County dispatch on Saturday alone, he said. “Highway 103 was shut down for a while, and we still have a few rural roads closed,” Mayfield said. “The search and rescue team had to evacuate some people. We had three rescue calls at county dispatch. It was a busy weekend for us.” While Carroll County was hit hard by the weather, he said conditions were improving a lot on Monday. “Going forward, until the roads are repaired, we advise people to be careful,” Mayfield said. “A few roads were washed out.” Green Forest Fire Chief Tim Howard said firefighters See Flooding, page 26

CAPC hears from local app developer By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission is still considering getting involved with a local digital project. The commission heard from Chip Ford at a workshop April 26 regarding the Eureka Springs App, a mobile application Ford has been developing over the past year. Ford recalled addressing the commission at previous workshops, saying he has completed enough of the application to show how it works. The application, Ford said, is intended for those who visit Eureka Springs and those who live here. He said the app will feature stores where items made by Eureka Springs residents are sold, highlighting everything created locally. “We wanted to break it away from just shopping in general,” Ford said. There’s another section, he said, where app users can listen in on what’s happening behind the scenes at the police department. “It’s like an old-school scanner. It’s a scanner that’s attached to a digital microphone, and they stream it,” Ford said. “Some people find it entertaining.”

He said there will be links for all the news sources in town, including classifieds. This should make job searching a little easier, Ford said. One major section, he added, is a map of the town with icons showing lodging, restaurants and retail businesses in town. Ford said users can choose to view only one of these at a time or all of them at once. “We wanted to have everything open, because people say all the time, ‘There’s nothing to do in Eureka.’ In reality, there’s a lot in Eureka, which you can see by the icon numbers,” Ford said. “There’s a lot to do in Eureka Springs, and we wanted to give them that overwhelming sense of, ‘Wow, look at all the things Eureka has to offer.’ ” There will be a section dedicated to the trails system, Ford said. “It’s just too much. It needs its own section,” he said. Commissioner David Mitchell asked Ford the history behind the app, and Ford said he asked the commission to help fund the app last year. Ford said he approached director Mike Maloney about the app before bringing it to the commission. “It was originally a conversation with Mike, and he was like, ‘How much do

you think?’ and I was like, ‘I don’t know … 80, 90 grand?’ ” Ford said. “The second time, I came back with a proposal that was a little different from what this was going to be. We were going to ask for $120,000. That situation would’ve been completely different.” Ford continued, “Then, we came to the realization that we’re so far in the game that if I opened that door, I’d be opening the process up to a year-long battle of meetings. We were too close to release, so we look at it again … and that’s when we adjusted it.” Ford said he’s asking the commission to spend $20,000 on the app, allowing visitors and locals to use the app for free. If the commission doesn’t get involved, Ford said, the app will cost $4.95 per download. He said the $20,000 would be used to get the app on Android devices. When it’s first released, he said, the app will be available only on iPhones. “The money literally doesn’t get pocketed. The money literally goes into production for a second app,” Ford said. “The amount asked is $4 shy of what the production for the second app is.” Ford said he will have the ability to add administrators to the app, giving commissioners and CAPC employees

an opportunity to add or change events. Commissioner Susan Harman asked if Ford would work with CAPC employees to be sure everything on the app is accurate, and he said he would. “There’s really no limitations. There’s really no rules. There’s really no hard line in the sand,” Ford said. “This is an effort to fill a void to communicate to everyone this is what we are. This is how to find us. Let’s take everything that is Eureka and about Eureka and put it into one format that’s visible and searchable … that information is put in front of you and you can search for anything.” Former commissioner Damon Henke said he wasn’t sure about the app. “Equivocally, you’re taking $20,000 and supporting an independent business and saying, ‘This is who we want to push up in the community,’ ” Henke said. “If we give him the money, we’re saying we agree with that business and we’re contractually working with him on it,” Mitchell said. Maloney said he would work on a preliminary contractual agreement between Ford and the commission. He said he’ll present the proposed contract at the commission’s next regular meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 10, at City Hall.

WCCAD discusses contract for ambulance service By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Western Carroll County Ambulance District Commission met Tuesday, April 25, to nail down some details in its contract with Eureka Springs Fire & EMS. Eureka Springs Fire & EMS received the bid to provide ambulance service for the Western District in April. The department bid to receive 85 percent of the tax dollars available to the district, which is expected to be somewhere between $280,000 and $300,000. In its bid packet, the department promised to provide two ambulances with crews on a 24-hour basis. The department has provided the ambulance service since WCCAD began. Com-

mission Chairman Sam Ward said April 25 he wanted the new contract to focus more on training. Two years ago, Ward said, the department chose to alternate EMT and EMR training. “Then they canceled it. Well, that just caused a huge problem, and so that’s why training is so important in this,” Ward said. “Training’s a big deal. We want the guys trained.” The commission agreed to ask the department to provide EMR or EMT training annually. The department could choose which training to offer, Ward said, based on the level of interest that year. He said continuing education for EMTs is important, too.

“We used to have a re-certification course for EMTs. It used to be required,” Ward said. “Now, we’re asking it to be replaced with a course that would cover all these 20 hours. That’s not in here, and we need to put it in here.” Ward said he plans to ask Eureka Springs Mayor Butch Berry if the department can have one of the required ambulances stationed in Holiday Island. This would help ambulances get to calls sooner, Ward said. “I don’t know if the mayor will do that or not. It’s just a suggestion,” Ward said. Ward said the commission isn’t going to require the department to get out to places like Starkey Marina in the standard 15

minutes, and commissioner David Carlisle said that’s a good idea. “It’s physically impossible,” he said. Carlisle said the commission doesn’t want the ambulances going too fast on the roads, pointing out how the roads twist and turn. “They do not speed, but hurrying on our highways is the same as speeding,” Carlisle said. “It’s a high risk.” After the commission approves the contract, Ward said he’ll meet with Berry to discuss it. “Three commissioners have to sign it, which is a majority. It’s completely legitimate,” Ward said. “Then the mayor has to sign it.”

Good Shepherd moves closer to new kennels at shelter By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The dogs at Good Shepherd Humane Society’s shelter will soon have a place to roam outside, rain or shine. On Wednesday, April 26, Gilbert Bercier told the society’s board of directors that he has almost completed a project to improve the outdoor kennels. Bercier presented the plan at the board’s Jan. 25 meeting. Since then, he said, he and wife Chris Bercier have helped raise money to purchase all the materials for the project, including lumber and metal. Bercier said the project has been delayed because of heavy rains but should be completed in five days once it starts. “We’ve got all the lumber. It’s all lined up. It’s ready to go,” Bercier said. “As it stands right now, the only thing holding us up was the weather. We’re just kind of waiting for a break from the rain.” Board president Jay Fusaro thanked Bercier for all his work. “This was self-funded, so we’re really glad about that. This project shouldn’t cost the organization anything,” Fusaro said. This means the board can use more money to help the animals, Fusaro said. Shelter manager Sandra Mittler presented the shelter report, saying the shelter has only three long-term dogs. Long-term dogs have been at the shelter for a year or more, Mittler said. She said the shelter has three mid-term dogs, as well. These dogs, she said, have been there for six months to a year. “We’re aggressively promoting them so they don’t make it to the long-term category,” Mittler said. She said the shelter has transferred eight dogs to other shelters recently, with only two left to be adopted. Mittler said it’s necessary to focus on transfers and out-of-state adoptions, because fewer people have been visiting the shelter. “It should be noted our foot traffic is way down compared to previous years … way down,” Mittler said. “We have started doing transfers to other facilities. We’re thankful for that. Hopefully, our numbers will improve.” Mittler added that three long-term cats were recently adopted. These cats had been

at the shelter for nearly three years, Mittler said. She listed the intakes, returns and adoptions for April. Intakes include three cats, four kittens, six dogs and nine puppies, and two dogs were returned. Adoptions include one puppy, three dogs and seven cats, totaling 11 adoptions in April. So far this year, Mittler said, the shelter has had 73 intakes, 15 returns and 68 adoptions. Mittler said the shelter recently brought in an animal behavioralist to help the dogs. Shelter employees will begin wearing pouches with snacks in them, Mittler said, to help the dogs stay calm when people walk past. “It helps with the ones that bark, and we’ve seen it work really well already,” Mittler said. “When they see you go by, instead of freaking out and barking, they sit.” The shelter hosted and attended events in April, Mittler said, including an open house on April 1. She said the open house celebrated the construction of the meet and greet room, where the board will have its monthly meeting and potential adoptees and meet animals they’re interested in privately. “We had a couple of adoptions and helped get people coming to the shelter, which is why we like to have events on-site,” Mittler said. “A lot of people did come back after the April open house to adopt.” On April 15, she said, the shelter took animals to the Arkansas State Chili Cook-off at the Holiday Island Clubhouse. Between ticket sales, a large donation and a few small fundraisers at the event, Mittler said the shelter brought in $1,417. “We are already invited back next year,” Mittler said. Thrift store manager Janet Chupp presented the thrift store report, saying the stores recently acquired a $1,200 bedroom set from an estate sale. Chupp said she’s working to profit from every donation the stores receive, including several old mattresses. Chupp said it’s expensive to get rid of mattresses, so she took them apart and sold the metal parts for profit. Once those parts were gone, Chupp said, the rest of the mattresses fit perfectly in the dumpster. “It was like an epiphany to me,” Chupp said. She said she’s working on creating a

space outside the Eureka Springs store so employees and volunteers can relax during the summer. All the materials for this space, she said, have been donated. “We all work so hard. I think it’s important we have a place where we can sit with each other and enjoy our time together,” Chupp said. She said she’s working on installing music throughout the Eureka Springs store, painting the men’s restroom, removing the windows between the register area and the porch to allow airflow and enclosing the lean-to. The work at the Berryville store, she said, includes cleaning out the storage area, painting and staining the floors. Peaches Spiritwalker presented the fundraising committee report, saying there will be a spaghetti dinner from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, May 19, at Grandma’s Beans and Cornbread in Eureka Springs. There will be no set-up, Spiritwalker said, because everything will be pre-cooked. She said she will need volunteers to help pre-cook for the din-

ner. There will be a pre-cooking party, Spiritwalker said, on Friday, May 5. Other fundraising events throughout the rest of the year include the Poker Run on Oct. 14, the Doggie Style Show in November and an event in Basin Park in December. Interim treasurer Rosemary Fusaro presented the financial report. The net income for March, she said, was $4,068. After adjusting for the meet and greet grant and the outdoor kennel revenue, she said, the shelter ended the month with a net loss of $1,300. Rosemary Fusaro said this isn’t necessarily bad news; the board budgeted a loss of $1,700 for the month, she said. “Overall, it was a really solid month, and we should look at it that way,” she said. “We’re ahead of plan. I think our budget is pretty conservative, so that’s where we are.” The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m. Wednesday, May 24, in the Meet and Greet room at the shelter.

Good landlords

Hatred

I suppose I should be grateful. I am fully awake now. I see the slimy darkness as it oozes out from underneath the rocks at my feet. I am galvanized for the fight of my life and I welcome the other light warriors who march in solidarity beside me. But I wake up every day with hate in my heart, hatred for the white-skinned, mostly male, mostly Republican leaders who are leading the stampede to join forces with our mentally ill and dangerous president, salivating their grotesquely evil greed at every step. Hatred for the vile and contemptible, immoral actions they legislate against each and every one of us in their race to the altar of Most Despicable Human Beings. Hatred for the unconscionable and obvious attitudes of disrespect and contempt displayed towards women, other countries and our planet. Hatred for the disgusting words that incite violence at every turn. Hatred for the pain and suffering being inflicted upon my fellow human beings and my four-legged brothers and sisters. Hatred for the sense of entitlement to steal and lie, to cheat and manipulate, anything in order to feed their insatiable greed. Hatred for their complete and total disregard of our sacred traditions. And the thing I hate the most is that I hate at all. Perhaps one day I will thank them. But for now I wield the sword of righteousness in an epic battle for all that is right and good, infected by the mobilizing emotions of their own hate and fear. — KATHY MARTONE

Make Eureka accessible I do appreciate what our mayor, council members and chairs of various commissions do to keep our sweet little town “afloat” (pun intended). It is hard volunteer work. I would like to raise one criticism with our friends: Why in the world hasn’t Eureka made public facilities accessible? Isn’t it the law? The ADA was passed years ago and still our toilets, meeting rooms, steps, Auditorium, etc., are in no way accessible. Eureka Springs is known (maybe all over the world?) as a caring, liberal and intelligent community of loving people. How can this insult to the ‘differently-abled’ be allowed to continue? This issue has been raised by some ‘differently-abled’ people and yet nothing has been done. I will stand at the front door every council meeting with a sign until you change this. Remember, all of us are only temporarily able to use these facilities until something happens to US! Be advised, friends. — TRELLA LAUGHLIN

Another perspective

Dear editor, Thank you for the insightful article on Eureka Springs High School Principal Katherine Lavender’s upcoming retirement. I am not generally given to publicly criticizing the work of your reporters, but I think it would have made for a much more interesting article to hear from all of those students (and staff) whose lives she impacted. Perhaps a few dozen randomly selected respondents in the hallways-students, teachers, custodial and cafeteria staff-offering their thoughts on Mrs. See Forum, page 21

Citizen of the Week Jay Wilks is this week’s Citizen of the Week. Wilks recently helped raise money for Eureka Springs students who couldn’t afford a hot lunch, providing meals for students who can’t afford it for the rest of the year. He was nominated by Allan Reznik, Ken Riley, Roxie Howard, Jane Grillone, Pam Greenway, Joyce Knowles, Nick Roberts, Debra Holman, Carol McCoy, Lamont Richie and Mark Wetzel for his efforts. “He is an avid Eureka Springs supporter. This was a selfless effort on Jay’s part,” Richie said. “I applaud him — the city is much better off because of people like him.” “It was great community work,” Howard said. “We need more people like him in the world, striving to make the world a better place just because it’s in his nature to do so!” Roberts said. “He brings smiles to the faces of Eureka!” Knowles nominated Wilks for the way he represented Eureka Springs in the political Youtube video Meet in the Middle, where Wilks appeared with Thomas Robb, the national director of the Knights of the KKK. Knowles said Wilks talked about the inclusive nature of Eureka Springs in the video. “He kept discussion about our experience without hyperbolic statistics. His calm interview was a fresh counter to the opponent’s fear mongering and marginalization of nonresidents,” Knowles said. “He was respectful, inviting and left a welcoming impression for those who come to Eureka.” To nominate somebody for Citizen of the Week, email Samantha Jones at Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com.

Thank you, emergency services

his past Saturday, my friend Kelby and I went to Fayetteville. We got caught in the heavy rains halfway through the day and decided to come back to Eureka. The drive wasn’t horribly stressful, but I could tell we both worried a bit trying to navigate the road to get back to Highway 412. I didn’t say anything. Kelby didn’t say anything. I think we both thought we’d feel less anxiety if we just shoved it down and pushed through the storm. When we got home, the rain had picked up again. We went to my apartment and spent the rest of the night watching TV and playing a board game, the door to the balcony open so we could listen to the rain. Gideon got home safely around 9 p.m., and we played some more games. The rain kept pouring outside. Sitting there in that comfortable little bubble, I commented how calming storms can be. The next morning, I realized storms are calming only if you’re indoors. I woke up, checked social media and realized the storm had been much worse than I thought it was. The rain had been relentless and never-ending, pouring down fast enough to create one of the largest floods Carroll County has ever seen. Several cars were lost in the flood, and one local woman lost her life. She was only 24. That was the only fatality in our county, but any loss is heartbreaking. It’s especially heartbreaking when somebody so loved dies unexpectedly. Reading about all the destruction caused by the storm, I started to feel sick. I wanted to tune it out. I wanted to put my computer away and watch a sitcom or play a card game ... something to forget how merciless Mother Nature had been. But I couldn’t do that. I knew I’d have to face it on Monday, when I’d be working on a story about the storm. I took it all in, looking at the photos of floodwater stalling out cars and making roads impassable. Monday came, and it was time to call local

emergency service workers to assess exactly how bad the damage had been. I learned search and rescue teams spent hours helping people who got caught up in the flood. A local fire chief told me his team worked for 18 hours from Saturday night to Sunday afternoon, barricading roads, moving people to safety and monitoring the storm. For some reason, it hadn’t occurred to me that everybody doesn’t have the luxury of Samantha Jones watching torrential rainfall at home. Suddenly, I felt very lucky. After all, I wasn’t one of those emergency services workers who got out of bed at 2 a.m. to rescue those swept away by the floodwater. I was playing a board game when they were barricading roads. I was sleeping when they were searching for a woman who never resurfaced on Leatherwood Creek. When you feel a certain way, it can be easy to assume everybody else is having the same experience you are. I felt safe Saturday night, so I didn’t think about all the people who weren’t. I didn’t think about the people who risked their lives to help others. I’m ashamed of that. My heart goes out to Montana Widener’s friends and family. I’m so sorry for this loss. I didn’t know Montana, but I’ve spoken with her friends and I can tell she was a special person. I’m also keeping all our county’s emergency service workers in my thoughts. I’m amazed at the way people in our little community put themselves on the line for others, not just during a severe storm but every day. That’s the kind of bravery and com-

The Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce accepted the resignation of its president and chief operating officer, Tammy Thurow, on Wednesday, April 26. On Monday, chamber officials addressed the reason behind the resignation and how the chamber will be moving forward. Cathy Handley, Thurow chair of the chamber’s board of directors, said the president’s position is demanding and not for everyone. “When you interview people, they’re on their best behavior. I think people try to explain to you what they can and can’t do, and only in time working with them can you see they may not be a great fit,” Handley said. “I think we have a great board, and our expectations are high.” Second vice chair John Speed said the chamber is hoping to find someone who is a good fit for the position. “As fond as I am of Tammy, I just don’t think she was the right fit for us, and really that’s what it boils down to,” Speed said. “There just simply was nothing scandalous about this. This was simply a matter of business. It was not the right fit.” He added, “I just think it’s that simple, and to make more of it …there isn’t anything there.” Handley said the next person in the position will be expected to execute the chamber’s goals and objectives. These goals and objectives include increasing membership and revenue, Handley said. To keep the doors open, Handley said, the chamber needs to generate revenue. “The bottom line is to stay on task. We have a good plan. A lot of people were involved in it, including Tammy herself. She helped write that plan,” Handley said. “The bottom line is to stay on task, and we’ll be fine.” Speed agreed.

“We have goals and objectives set, and we need someone in place who can help us meet those goals and objectives,” he said. Vice chair Catherine Pappas said the chamber board is looking to go in a new direction. “Whoever we do hire to get in that position, we’re just going to shift a little bit on where the responsibilities go,” Pappas said. “We need more of a person who’s going to be in charge. We need someone with a strong personality, someone who’s going to come in and really educate the businesses on what we can do to help them.” What’s important, Pappas said, is that the businesses in town feel important. “The chamber really is here for the community and for the community businesses. We want that to go through all the businesses,” Pappas said. “We want them to realize we are here for them.” Handley said it’s important to the chamber to have a leader who is invested in the community. “We want someone who really, really loves this town for what it is. It would be wonderful to get a local person, because I think if you live here and you deal with it day and day out…you find out it has a lot to offer,” Handley said. “You have to understand this town in order to do a good job.” Pappas agreed. “We’re a different type of community here. There’s a lot of people who have invested within this community,” Pappas said. “We all have goals here. That’s extremely important to have someone to understand all the different people that are involved in this community.” The chamber is strong, Pappas said, and hopes to get stronger with a new leader. “This is a great group of people that work here, and the board is a great group of people,” Pappas said. “Everybody involved with the chamber really has the community at heart.” Handley said some people have already shown interest in the position. “If everything aligns, we’d love to have that position filled in just a few weeks,” Handley said. Thurow could not be reached for comment.

GSHS volunteers tell students about spaying, neutering By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Some Eureka Springs Elementary School students took home a valuable lesson on Friday. Tracy Williams and Adrienne Gremillion, volunteers with Good Shepherd Humane Society, spoke to third-grade students about the importance of spaying and neutering animals. Gremillion gave the students a worksheet asking how many kittens would be produced if four cats out of a litter have seven kittens. A student said that would create 28 kittens, and Gremillion said that was correct. “That’s OK if you want a litter of kittens and intend to take care of the litter of kittens, but not all stories are happy,”

Gremillion said. When some people can’t take care of their animals, Gremillion said, they donate them to a shelter that could be overflowing with animals already. Even worse, she said, some people drown kittens if they can’t take care of them. “It’s very, very irresponsible to let animals have babies and not take care of them,” Gremillion said. Gremillion and Williams presented the idea for the lesson to the Good Shepherd Humane Society Board on Wednesday, April 26. Williams said third-grade students are more likely to empathize with animals, making it important to present the lesson to them. Gremillion said she wanted to tell students about how important it is to take care of animals, espe-

cially those adopted from a local shelter. “We’ve had problems with some pets being surrendered after being adopted, and we want to talk to them about how to ensure after they adopt how to take care of an animal to be sure they don’t bring it back,” Gremillion said. On Friday, Gremillion asked the students how they think the animals feel when they’re brought back to the shelter. Student Yartsi Tapia said it upset her to think about it. “It feels really sad, because animals need a family and a home,” Tapia said. Fellow student William Linker agreed. Linker said he’s never had a dog and is more of a cat person. “I love my cat. People should help animals,” Linker said.

Gremillion said she hopes the students take the lesson to heart. “We hope the children take what they’ve learned into their home,” Gremillion said. Linker and Tapia said they would. The thought of the program reaching so many homes, Gremillion said, touched her heart. She said the shelter has limited space available and needs to adopt more pets out. When animals are returned or people bring in litters of kittens or puppies, Gremillion said, it makes it that much harder to take care of the animals already at the shelter. “That’s why this program is so important, to teach children to be responsible so we don’t end up with more pets than we can care for,” Gremillion said.

Medical clinic coming to Holiday Island By David Frank Dempsey Lovely County Citizen

HOLIDAY ISLAND — Boston Mountain Rural Health Center leased 4,300 square feet of office/clinical space in early April at 1 Park Drive, Suite C with a tentative goal of opening a new clinic there sometime in June, according to the health care center’s chief executive officer, Betty Sanders. BMRHC, based in the town of Marshall, is a rapidly expanding system of small clinics in west and Northwest Arkansas. They showed an early interest in opening a clinic in Holiday Island during a meeting of citizens and community leaders

at the Rotary Club on January 27. About 25 residents attended the meeting including all five Holiday Island Suburban Improvement District Commissioners, District Manager Lawrence Blood and developer Tom Dees. The meeting was held after a search by Dees for possible new health care providers following the departure of Dr. Sonal Bhakta and the closing of the Mercy Clinic. More than a month before the meeting, Dees had given members of Boston Mountain Rural Health Center a three-hour tour of Holiday Island and met with them on at least three other occasions. After the tour and BMRHC’s expression of interest the

Holiday Island Board of Commissioners passed a good-faith resolution stating that it would support BMRHC’s efforts to start a new health care center in the community. BMRHC is a non-profit health care provider serving a mixture of walk-in patients and appointments that was started in 1994. The addition of a clinic in Holiday Island will bring their number of clinics to 10. According to chief operations officer Debbie Ackerson, the Holiday Island area with its estimated population of 3,000 is large enough to support a BMRHC clinic. The clinic uses a sliding fee system of payments and prescription medication assistance programs to provide care for pa-

tients who are uninsured or underinsured. BMRHC uses both doctors and advanced practice registered nurses to treat acute illnesses and injuries. They treat cuts and other wounds, colds, flu, allergies, infections, sprains and fractures. They also provide long-term care for patients with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, arthritis and asthma. Other onsite services include vaccines, preventative screenings and physicals. Although a date has yet to be set, Sanders said BMRHC would hold a hamburger lunch in the Shopping Center to meet more residents and to provide more information about the clinic before its opening.

Four Carroll County veterans go on Honor Flight Four Carroll County veterans were invited on an Honor Flight to Washington on Tuesday, April 18, taking in the sights around the nation’s capital. Ray Backs, Richard Keller and John McCauley of Berryville and Gus Midden of Eureka Springs were among the 71 Arkansas and Oklahoma veterans invited for the Honor Flight. Traveling with the group were 71 assistants, known as Guardians, to help veterans as needed on the trip. The group gathered at the Cherokee Hotel and Casino just west of Siloam Springs on April 18 for a banquet and a special sendoff ceremony in the hotel auditorium, where hundreds of well-wishers applauded as each name was called. The program also featured prayer and music. Keller said McCauley’s daughter drove the Berryville veterans to the hotel while Midden’s son from St. Louis accompanied him. Everyone was provided free deluxe rooms that night by the Cherokee Casino Hotel, he said. Backs, owner of Ray’s Barber Shop on the Public Square, served as a corpsman on a Navy hospital ship during the Korean War. Keller, former owner of Keller’s Country Dorm Resort, served as an electronics division officer in the Naval Air Force at the end of World War II and served again during the Korean War. McCauley, who worked at Claridge Products and Equipment Inc. in Harrison until retiring in Berryville, served in the Army Infantry during the Korean War. Midden served in the Army during the Korean War.

The veterans had breakfast at 4 a.m. on Wednesday, April 19, and boarded buses to the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport at Highfill. The group was escorted by a long line of law-enforcement vehicles, motorcycles and fire trucks with lights flashing and sirens sounding. Hundreds of cheering people and choirs gave the veterans a rousing sendoff before their departure to Washington. After a three-hour flight, the group ar-

rived at the Reagan Washington National Airport on the Potomac River. A large contingent of greeters welcomed the veterans to the city, including Miss Maryland. The veterans boarded three buses and began their sightseeing journey, stopping first at the National World War II Memorial. Janet Huckabee, wife of former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, took photos with the veterans at the memorial.

Keller said she was a volunteer guardian for one of the veterans on the trip. The group’s next stop included three adjacent memorials: the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial and the Korean War Veterans Memorial. The veterans then took a trip back across the Potomac to Arlington National Cemetery for the changing of the guard and a wreath-laying ceremony. Nearby, the veterans visited the Marine Corps War Memorial. Finally, the group visited the newest memorial: the Air Force Memorial. The veterans were then driven around the Pentagon and back to Reagan Airport, where they were met with enthusiastic supporters who led them in a dance to nostalgic mid-century band music until their departure for home. Upon their return, the veterans were welcomed back by a crowd of cheering people and choirs. The entire trip was unforgettable, Keller said, and every veteran is encouraged to apply to HonorFlight.org to see if they are eligible for the free once-in-alifetime experience. The Honor Flight program began in 2005 and has benefited more than 150,000 veterans across the nation. There are nearly 130 hubs or airports from which similar charter flights are flown, each generally offering two flights a year. Anyone interested in donating to the Honor Flight program or volunteering as a Guardian, at their own expense, to accompany a veteran can visit HonorFlight. org to get the full details.

This week, we will focus on one of the most interesting landmarks in the early days of Eureka Springs’ history, The Southern Hotel. Built in 1880, and perched overlooking Basin Spring, this hotel was the second hotel to be called first class. The ‘first’ first class hotel was the old St. Charles located on North Main. An almost inaccessible perch, high on the hill above where Basin Park is now located, set it apart as the marvel of the town for a few brief years when it boasted of an outdoor elevator. It was a long steep climb from Spring Street up to its hillside location. In 1892, an advertisement boasted of all of its luxuries stating: “The Southern is beautifully situated on the side of a mountain, twenty-five feet above and overlooking Basin Spring. We use exclusively Basin water. The Southern is the most convenient and accessible hotel in the city; has the conveniences of gas, a complete system of water and sewerage, and all modern improvements of the first class hotel. It has a carriage drive to the rear of house, which avoids all steps; has three entrances for footmen, front, side and back — the latter is but two minutes walk from Basin Spring, and has but seven steps. The tables are supplied with the best in the market.” The elevator was thought to have been brought into existence around 1890 and lasted around five years, possible being removed when brick work was added around Basin Park. In 1932, it was purchased by Wallace McQuerry and renamed Southern Home. On Nov. 12 of the same year, this handsome wooden structure which stood for just over a half of a century was destroyed in what the Times-Echo and other newspapers described as a ‘spectacular’ blaze.

Beneficial berries

hen I was a kid tromping around the Everglades, I was careful to step Jim Fain around the saw palmetto plant. It wasn’t for the reason of protecting the hardy plant, which is in the palm family but because the diamondback rattlesnake would often wrap itself under the low fronds and be very difficult to see. Little did I know then the benefit of those odd-looking berries that the saw palmetto produced. Saw palmetto (Seronoa repens) is a well-studied, long-used herbal. The old ones would make a tea of the berries or simply chew them. These days we have standardized tablets or capsules, which swallow better and avoid the bitter taste. It was used for and has been medically proven as beneficial for irritable bladder in both men and women as well as for reducing the size of an enlarged prostate gland. The medical comparative studies were well done and very strong — gaining the approval for use by the German Commission E. The technical explanation is complex and well understood. The herb causes a blocking of certain byproduct steroids that are naturally produced in men. This in turn leads to preventing the buildup of the steroid and that decreases the chances and effect of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH creates symptoms of having to urinate frequently with urgency, though very little urine is released from the bladder. This is particularly bothersome at nighttime. Use of saw palmetto results in more normal urination with a much stronger stream. The herb also lowers the ability of estrogen to lock in. This is beneficial to both men and women as we get older. The herb contains antispasmodics to reduce the irritability of that cranky bladder. If you’ve ever had a cranky bladder or knew someone who did, then you know what a Godsend this is. Just imagine driving from Springdale arguing with a cranky bladder just as you reach the Leatherwood curves ... get the idea? Saw palmetto is used topically to regrow hair in both men and women for the same reasons I’ve already mentioned. The dosage of a standardized product is around 300mg/day. Whole herb is different. A good product will also include pygeum and pumpkin oil.

ARIES: You have a mind that just won’t quit, but it really needs to take a coffee break before it has a meltdown. Give your brain a day off before you end up heavily medicated and holding crayons with your toes. TAURUS: A day without you is like a day without sunshine. Let those around you have a nice, rainy afternoon watching Netflix and eating pizza. After all, they can’t miss you if you’re not gone, and they’ll unlock the garage door for you in the morning. GEMINI: Use your superpowers on Friday to get that big deal you want. What superpower? You know, the one no one ever sees because you don’t want to end up on the news. It’s OK, though, just this one time, because the reward is worth it. CANCER: Some days you’re the flower, other days you’re the sneeze. Either way, some allergy meds will make Wednesday easier. Or you could just take Benadryl and skip from Tuesday to Friday. LEO: Inner peace isn’t always about finding a mountaintop and gaining wisdom from a lofty guru. Sometimes it’s knowing you had the restraint to not smack the idiots around today. Good job. VIRGO: To thine own self be true, but feel free to dish out little white fibs to everyone else. Your weight, politics and secret love for the Backstreet Boys will remain your own. LIBRA: People say you’re an open book but frankly, you’re not even a one-sided pamphlet. Get some hobbies and conversation skills before you turn into an episode of reality TV. SCORPIO: Someone is rattling your cage, but you know something they don’t; you have the key. Step outside with a smile, and watch them wet themselves before they head for the hills. SAGITTARIUS: The universe wants an explanation of what you

did last Tuesday. This time, don’t blame the dog. Karma knows he can’t drive or throw turnips; and the traffic camera definitely caught your best side. CAPRICORN: If your step feels lighter, it’s because Karma is trying to lift your heavy butt over the rough spots. Help it out with some muscle power, instead of dragging your feet and complaining. AQUARIUS: Watch out on

By Beth Bartlett

Saturday. A bad-tempered ferret is coming to town, and it knows what you look like. Stock up on good whiskey and prepare your best distracting small talk. PISCES: Opportunities fly at you fast, but don’t duck and run away. Grab a helmet and start whacking those suckers out of the park. You could score a pocketful of home runs before the day is done.

Apache (No. C15-0163) is a 3-year-old terrier mix. Apache is a very energetic dog, so he would be the perfect companion for someone with an active lifestyle. He thrives most when he is being challenged. He enjoys doggie training exercises and being asked to perform. He’s very smart and loves to play with toys. He is better as a single dog. We would suggest a meet and greet with any potential adopter that has a dog. He is neutered and has his shots. He’s available for adoption at the Good Shepherd Animal Shelter on Highway 62 east of Eureka Springs. The shelter is open from noon to 5 p.m. every day but Tuesday and Wednesday.

Clear Spring School received partial funding from the Carroll County Community Foundation’s Youth Advisory Council (YAC) Spring Giving Tree Grant for a bee-keeping program and garden on April 12 at the YAC ceremony in the Berryville Carroll Electric Community Room. The grant was submitted in March by high school teacher Zach Trent along with middle and high school students for a special beehive and the creation of a self-sustaining garden to support the insects. YAC awarded the school $680, which is enough to purchase the hive system. “The students worked hard on researching and writing the grant, and we are very excited that the project is getting a jump start from YAC,” Trent said. “The program is important to the school and the community.” Clear Spring School will use the money to buy a Flow Hive, which has a special design that allows the honey to be removed without disturbing the bees. The revolutionary system creates less stress for the bees and beekeepers, making it easier to avoid the possibility of getting stung. “Keeping students safe was the num-

ber one priority for the project. The CSS campus is a total of 12 acres, plenty of room for a beekeeping program, but getting the honey from the hive is always the challenge. This hive will allow us to have a safe program for our students and faculty.” Trent said. The grant application says “this project will teach the students about the importance of bees to our world and the responsibility of caring for the precious creatures. Learning the science behind why they are so crucial to a healthy environment and how to care for them and their world will be an extraordinary and special experience. The experience of processing the honey to sell will teach the students important economic and agricultural lessons as well, including the cost of running a business, marketing and promotional skills.” Trent and a group of very interested middle and high school students are participating in the program. Eureka Springs was named a Bee City USA in June 2016. The Bee City USA program endorses a set of commitments for creating sustainable habitats for pollinators, which are vital to feeding the planet. Clear Spring School is interested in

supporting the community by managing a hive and garden. The community has noticed and is also supporting the school’s endeavors. The project is not only being supported by YAC but also by the organizers of The Bridge of Love, happening Mother’s Day weekend over Main Street, Eureka Zen, The Loretta Young Legacy Project, Teresa Pelliccio Art, the Eureka Springs Pollinators Alliance, and the Eureka Springs Downtown Natives. The Bridge of Love is a living art installation that is a part of the Eureka Springs May Festival of the Arts Saturday, May 13 and Sunday, May 14. Flowers will be hung from the Main Street air/pedestrian bridge (Basin Bath House Bridge) in honor of women to celebrate Mother’s Day. Flowers will be available from a fresh flower market set up on the bridge with donations going to Clear Spring School’s beekeeping and garden project. Everyone is invited to join in the group photo on the bridge at 1:30 p.m. Mother’s Day. For more information, contact Dori Thomas at Development@ClearSpringSchool.org, or by calling the school at (479) 253-7888.

where that creek runs down from Saunders,” Bartos said. “It crossed Freeman and College streets and was over the roads there, so we ended up shutting down that area.” He continued, “The Dollar General was shut down for a while, too, because the water was running off the hills and flooding that area out. There was a truck on College Avenue that got kind of bogged down and died out in the middle of the road there. I think one of our officers and a Carroll County deputy pulled up there and got those people out of their vehicle.” Bartos said he does not know of any injuries reported as a result of the flooding. “We had high water and lots of debris

over the roads,” he said. “That’s all I can recall.” Carl Goins, Berryville city building inspector and a firefighter with the Berryville Fire Department, said the weekend weather led to flooding of city streets and the overflowing of creeks in the area. “We’ve also seen some damage to trees and fence lines being washed out,” Goins said. “We had places flood that have never flooded before. The fire department was flooded about three times because the water was coming so fast that it wouldn’t drain.” While the city ended up putting sawhorses up to block off roads near the Berryville Community Center and the Berryville Fire Department, he said there was no major damage to the city’s

infrastructure. Mayor Tim McKinney said Berryville has some streets in need of a little repair but has had no structural damage reported as a result of the flooding. “Primarily what we have is cleanup where creeks got up over their banks and left rocks and stuff scattered around,” McKinney said. “We were pretty fortunate as far as our streets and our infrastructure. They came through the flooding pretty well. We do have some minor repairs to do, but we were pretty fortunate not to have any more damage than what we thought we’d have.” •••

I was gifted the task of raising money for two little boys. I was honored by the people that stepped forward to help me with this. This has not been easy, but then again most great things aren’t. I laughed. I cried. I stressed. I yelled. Then I had the best realization, “EUREKA”! My “I’s” became “We’s” in mass quantities. WE are not alone, WE are in this together. WE laughed. WE cried. WE succeeded. So this is my THANK YOU to this community for letting me be a part of it. Safe travels BIG CAT. Latigo Truer
