Eureka Springs Community Center unveils new fitness center By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs Community Center is quickly attracting a crowd on Monday, May 6. It’s 4 p.m. and the gym is filled with the sounds you’d expect to hear at a community gathering: children playing basketball, old friends catching up and new friends meeting for the very first time. But today isn’t your average community event. It’s a special day, a day the Eureka Springs Community Center’s Board of Directors has dreamed of for years. It’s time to officially open the fitness center to the public. Board member Bill Featherstone takes the microphone and asks everyone to quiet down, but it takes a while. Featherstone says he can hear the excitement in the room. “Welcome to the Eureka Springs Community Center’s new fitness center,” he announces to resounding applause. “I’m a man of few words, so I’m going to let Butch take it over from here –– here’s our mayor, Butch Berry.” Berry reminds everyone how long it has taken to get the community center up and running. Three months before he ran for mayor for the first time, Berry says, the board started to consider purchasing the old high school building and renovating it into a space everyone in the community could enjoy. That was nearly five years ago, Berry says. “Almost a year ago, we opened up the community center, and that was a great accomplishment,” Berry says, “but this is even better. This is a fitness center. This is something me and the people I went to high school with probably never would have envisioned would be here today.” Berry continues, “It’s all thanks for the vision and hard work of the people on the

board of the community center. They did a great job, and I’m real proud. For years, Eureka Springs has been wanting a community center and a fitness center. They’ve just done a heck of a job on that.” Berry hands the microphone to Diane Murphy, chairwoman of the community center board. With a big smile, Murphy thanks everyone for coming to celebrate the opening of the fitness area. “We are so happy to be able to do something that means so much to everybody,” Murphy says. “It’s been about a year since we first opened. At first, we were just looking to see what the people wanted. The fitness center rose to the top.” The fitness center would not have been possible without the help of the community, Murphy says. She thanks the Windgate Charitable Foundation, the Sunderland Foundation and the Ray and Christine Sturgis Foundation for providing grants to fund the fitness center. Local residents Shile
McCarty and Jom Stanton made major contributions to the project, Murphy says, as well as board members Glen Crenshaw and Featherstone. “We are so grateful for that,” Murphy says. Activities director Catherine Luna speaks next and says she’s loved seeing the community center grow over the past year. “It’s been 331 days since we opened the doors here,” Luna says. “We just had a handful of classes then. Now, we have pages and pages of classes.” The new fitness center means extended hours, Luna says. She says the community center will now be open from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. That’s a pretty big deal for the community center, Luna says. “I cannot wait to show you what we’ve
got behind these walls,” Luna says. “We’re always excited to be growing. Thanks so much for all you’ve done to help us.” The board gathers together and Murphy cuts the ribbon. She asks everyone to take a peek at the fitness center, and they do. David Hartmann and wife Wendy Reese Hartmann stroll through the new facility, which features ellipticals, treadmills, stationary bikes and various strength training equipment. “There wasn’t anything like this here in town,” David Hartmann says, “and now there is. We’re members of the community center, and we’re excited to have a facility to use and something for the community to share.” Wendy Reese Hartmann says she’s seen the impact the community center has had over the past year, saying she’s loved teaching classes there. “It has an amazing amount of value,” she says. “It’s changing lives. I see that every day in my classes. This is a place where we can gather and be a community.”

Volunteer of the Year Community foundation names Smith recipient of Lifetime Achievement Award By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Carroll County Community Foundation’s Youth Advisory Council honored a local hero at the annual YAC Giving Tree Awards Friday, May 3. Lieu Smith was named the recipient of the Volunteer of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his work with Loaves & Fishes Food Bank. Janell Robertson, executive director of the Carroll County Community Foundation, said Smith has been instrumental in the success of Loaves & Fishes for more than 20 years as a volunteer and board member. The community foundation intended to give out an award for Volunteer of the Year, Robertson said, but there were too many worthy candidates to recognize only one person. She said the award was split into a category for volunteers working with adults, a category for volunteers working with children and a special category to recognize Smith’s work over the years. “When we saw [Smith] was nominated, we thought, ‘There needs to be a Volunteer of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award,’ “ Robertson said. “[Smith] has worked tirelessly in Carroll County forever and has created an important nonprofit that has helped everyone. Countless people are not hungry thanks to Mr. Lieu Smith.” Dr. Dan Bell and his wife, Susie, were named Volunteer of the Year in the adult category for their work with Eureka Christian Health Outreach (ECHO) Clinic and ECHO Village. “They have touched so many people across so many areas of Carroll County with their free clinic, and also the ECHO Village they’re now building,” Robertson said. Bruce and Carole Bieschke were named Volunteer of the Year in the adult category for their work with the Boy Scouts. Robertson said the Bieschkes have been helping young men and now
young women grow and learn in Carroll County for more than 30 years. “They love the children like they are their own and celebrate their victories and accomplishments right alongside them,” Robertson said. Other nominees for Volunteer of the Year include Chad Allen, a champion for youth sports in Berryville; Hester Alsip, who gives people free rides to the grocery store and the doctor’s office; Donna Wengee, who volunteers with Eureka Springs Historical Museum, Daughters of the American Revolution and more; Isabelle Dean, a volunteer case manager and mentor at Jeremiah House; Berryville Police Chief Robert Bartos, who volunteers for The Merlin Foundation and Grandma’s House Advocacy Center; Bernie Haydon, a dedicated volunteer at Flint Street Fellowship; Tyler Ashworth, a member of Lions Club and the Berryville School Board; Mariellen Griffith, who promotes gardening and nature-focused organizations; Lin Wellford, a volunteer for Good Shepherd Humane Society and the Green Forest Library; United Methodist Church of Berryville for its breakfast ministry; Woody Barlow, who serves on the Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow board of directors; Mindy Hicks, coordinator for Berryville Bright Futures; Jerry Landrum, who volunteers with ECHO Village, The Purple House and more; Fiona Richards, a board member of Good Shepherd Humane Society; Steve Beacham, who has volunteered with Clear Spring School since 1977; Melvin Jensen, a volunteer with Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge and Faith Petit Shah, who has helped cultivate the Eureka Springs Native Plant Garden. Also at the awards ceremony, YAC students handed out grants to eight local nonprofits. Paula Koch accepted the grant for Flint Street Fellowship, saying the money will go toward the food bank’s Back Our Kids Program. Beckie

Moore accepted the grant for Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, saying the funds will go toward purchasing educational materials for the refuge’s outreach to local schools and colleges. Joy Morris accepted the grant for Single Parent Scholarship Fund of Northwest Arkansas. She said the money will provide back-to-school funds for the recipients of the scholarship. Peggy Lodewyks accepted the grant for Holiday Island Rotary Foundation Imagination Library, saying all the money goes toward purchasing books for local children. There are 425 children signed up for the program, Lodewyks said, which provides a free age-appropriate book mailed to their homes from birth to their 5th birthday. Roslyn Imrie accepted the grant for Ozark Natural Science center to fund a 2.5-day outdoor science program for lo-
cal fifth-graders. Tina Cone and Beverly Hanby accepted the grant for The Little Red Bookshelf. Cone said the money will help purchase more books for the program, which provides one book per child per household at Loaves & Fishes Food Bank. The Brandon Burlsworth Foundation received a grant to provide free eye care to local youth, and Project Self-Esteem of Carroll County received a grant for free school supply bags. Robertson thanked all the nonprofits for working with the Carroll County Community Foundation. “As you can tell, our spring giving tree grant cycle is very specific to programs that support youth and children,” Robertson said. “Our next grant cycle will open July 10 and close Aug. 15, and it is a very broad grant cycle. We open that to all nonprofits.”

The honors just keeping for Eureka Springs basketball. Highlanders coach Brian Rambo and Lady Highlanders coach Ryan Sanchez both have been named 2A-1 Conference Coach of the Year after leading their teams to conference championships and state tournament appearances. Those honors follow All-State recognition for Highlanders senior guard Garrett Cross and Lady Highlanders junior forward Shelby Little. Rambo’s Highlanders won 19 consecutive games and finished 33-7. In addition to the regular-season conference championship, Eureka Springs won the district and regional tournaments and set a school record for victories. “That has a lot to do with the type of kids you have,” Rambo said of the coaching honor. “Obviously we had a great group with five seniors. But yeah, I’m extremely blessed and grateful.” Sanchez turned the Lady Highlanders around in his first season as a head coach. After winning just nine games in the previous three seasons, Eureka Springs went 23-14 under Sanchez. “I’m just a product of my environment,” said Sanchez, a Eureka Springs graduate who played under Rambo before playing college basketball. “My parents had a big role in my life, and so did the coaches I played for. Even moreso, it’s a credit to the girls. Their play dictates that. You can have the best coach in the world, but if you don’t have

talented players who work hard and buy in, you don’t have anything.” Cross, who was named All-State for the second consecutive year, averaged more than 21 points a game in leading the Highlanders to a 33-6 record. Eureka Springs won the regular-season conference championship before taking the district and regional tournament titles and advancing to the Class 2A state tournament. Cross recorded his second career triple-double in a November game against Deer, when he had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. He

scored more than 1,500 points during his high school career. “It’s a tremendous honor,” Rambo said. “It just really speaks volumes about what kind of player he was.” Little, in her first year at Eureka Springs, was a major factor in the Lady Highlanders’ success. She averaged 13 points and seven rebounds a game — including season-highs of 28 points and 17 rebounds in a victory over Kingston on Jan. 15. “She played really well and helped us change the culture of the program,” Sanchez said.

Eureka Springs Middle School students to perform ‘The Little Mermaid, Jr.’ May 13-14 By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Eureka Springs Middle School students are ending the school year under the sea, and the public is welcome to dive in, too! The students will perform “The Little Mermaid, Jr.” at 6 p.m. Monday, May 13, and Tuesday, May 14, in the Eureka Springs High School auditorium. The classic Disney title contains all the songs from the animated feature film as well as three new songs from the Broadway show. It’s the last play of the year, and 5th grader Kameron Agresto said he’s looking forward to performing for the community. Agresto portrays Grimsby in the play, following after Prince Eric and making sure he stays safe. “The very first song in the very first scene of the play … I like how it’s really powerful,” Agresto said, “and also, I get to pretend to throw up on people.” Agresto added, “My favorite part is the scene at the dinner table, because I get to pull aside Prince Eric and talk to him about Ariel. I pull him off stage towards the crowd.” Fellow 5th grader Anastasia Cummings portrays Sebastian, and she ends up running from 5th grader Aubry Huntley, who plays Chef Louis. Chef Louis loves cooking fish,
Huntley said, and especially crab meat. “I sing about fish and how I cut off their heads and pull out their bones,” Huntley said. “She gets to chop me in the head multiple times,” Cummings said. “Well, I almost chop her head off,” Huntley said. Sixth grader Abi Killion plays Ariel and said she’s enjoyed rehearsing for the play with all her friends. One of her favorite parts of the play, Killion said, is when Ariel’s sisters sing the song “She’s in Love.” “It’s a really fun dance and it’s a good song,” Killion said. “Rehearsals are super fun, because we practice and see each other make progress as a group. It’s really awesome.” Playing the main character means she’s featured in many scenes, Killion said. “It’s a fun part to play, because the costumes are really fun and I get to interact with so many characters during the play,” Killion said. Cummings said she’s happy to be playing Sebastian. “I like being able to be a sarcastic, witty crab on stage,” Cummings said. Preparing for the play is certainly nerve-racking, Cummings said.
“It’s embarrassing at first, but then you get out there and you just kind of do it,” Cummings said, “and you don’t even notice you’re doing it until it’s over, and then you’re like, ‘Oh, I gotta come back to school for that.’ “ Agresto agreed. “When you get out there at first, you may stumble because you’re looking at everybody,” Agresto said. “It’s like they’re staring daggers at you … but once you get into it, the moves are natural.” Huntley said she’s excited to perform for the community. “We’ve spent hours and hours and days and days practicing this one thing,” Huntley said. Agresto said he and his classmates have dedicated quite a bit of time to the play over the past few months. “We put so much work into it,” Agresto said. “We give a lot of our free time dedicating ourselves to the play, and it’s worth it.” For Cummings, the reason to see the play is simple. “It’s just fun,” Cummings said. “It’s just fun to watch and be a part of.” Music teacher Donesa Mann said she’s proud of the work her students have put in See Mermaid, page 8

Beat bug bites
We all deal with patterns that are predictable such as colds and flu in the winter, allergies in both the spring and fall and chiggers/ticks/skeeters and Brown Recluse bites in the summer. This year, things are happening sooner. I’m already seeing spider bites, poison ivy and lots of tick bites. We are smack dab in the middle of the part of the country where the Brown Recluse prefers to live. They jump, land and inflict a nasty bite. The ground zero of the bite often turns black as the skin dies. A large red circular welt rings the black center. Many times without good first aid the infection from the bite can last for weeks or months. In diabetics, this can be very dangerous because of blood flow problems if bitten on extremity. If attended to right away there usually isn’t much of a problem. I’ve seen people take good care of themselves by putting an herbal plaster of basil, feverfew and witch hazel directly on the bite secured with a bandage, taking enteric coated garlic supplements and of course boosting the immune system with Astragalus or a mushroom blend. You might even consider using an old fashioned Black Ointment or grapefruit seed extract ointment right on
the wound. For maximum impact, high dose monolaurin taken by mouth is the way to go. Jim Fain At a certain point, medical care is a necessity. Suggestions for poison ivy include the homeopathic Rhus Tox X6 and baking soda as a powder to dry the blisters. A Jewelweed wash and especially lye soap is great. Tepid showers (no baths) and application of an anti-itch herbal rounds out the suggestions. If the exposure is severe or in a delicate part of the body, prompt medical care is a very good thing. I had to call Texas early this year to order Cactus Juice so I can be ready for chigger/tick and skeeter season. I found this product many years ago and it has proven itself as a great product to be used during crawly and flying biter season. This is one of the only natural products that works as good if not better than the big brand names. I can’t tell you legally it effectively repels all of those miserable many leggeds. But it is DEET free, completely safe and I don’t get bitten at all when I use it and neither do other people.

Our History in Quilts Eureka Springs Historical Museum offers exhibit through July 31 By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs Historical Museum is showing off its quilt collection this summer. The museum’s new exhibit, called Our History in Quilts, runs from May 10-July 31. The exhibit features the museum’s collection of quilts dating back to the mid1800s, with five stunning contemporary quilts created by the Eureka Springs Quilt Guild being shown for the first time. Those quilts feature famous landmarks in Eureka Springs. Dawn Ward, who works with the museum, said Eureka Springs has a deep history when it comes to quilting. “We’ve had large quilting guilds here since the 1800s, so we have quilts that date back to the mid-1800s,” Ward said. “This is the first time the Eureka Springs Quilt Guild has shared some of these with the public. They are beautiful. They picture Eureka Springs landmarks like the roundhouse. That’s very exciting.” Also featured in the exhibit is a very rare red cross quilt signed by Eureka Springs residents in the 1930s. There are a few other quilts from that time period, Ward said, created by ladies involved in the Live Wire Club. “They were a quilting guild that started in the early 1900s and ended in the 1940s,”
Ward said. “We have a quilt from them, as well as these quilt blocks that are all signed but were never finished. There’s lots of interesting needlework and embroidery, and a big variety in style.” She said quilts reflect a time many have forgotten –– a time when sewing machines didn’t exist and quilters put intense labor into their creations. “I think quilts are somewhat priceless when it comes to that,” Ward said. “They’re not extremely valuable dollar wise as much as they are when it comes to historical value. We displayed them so you can engage in the patterns and see the stitching and the variety of fabrics used.” She continued, “Some of them were made from silks. Until I started this project, I didn’t realize people made quilts from silk material.” The museum is having a fundraiser raffle for a chance to win a quilted wall-hanging from the former Quilt Shop or one of two gift certificates donated by the Quilter’s Cottage and Red Scottie Fibers for the Fleece & Flax shop downtown. Raffle tickets are $2 each or three for $5. Eureka Springs Historical Museum is located at 95 S. Main St. and is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

and Dubois pointed to a white 2013 Mercedes-Benz GK3 model, which was parked with the engine running and the driver side door opened. It says Mize noticed Dubois’ vehicle to be directly behind Chapman, who was lying in the middle of the road. The report says Mize asked Dubois what happened, and Dubois said he and his husband, Chapman, were “out on the town” having dinner and “having drinks.” It says Dubois told Mize that he was driving, and Chapman was in the passenger seat. Dubois said Chapman became upset and got out of the car, the report says, and Dubois said he did not remember what happened after that. While speaking with Dubois, the report says Mize could smell a strong odor of alcohol “emit off of Stan’s breath.” Mize asked Dubois if he had run over Chapman or hit him with his vehicle. It says Dubois said “I don’t know what happened to him. I mean it happened fast, and that does not matter.”
Mize asked Dubois once again if he was the driver of the vehicle when the incident occurred, the report says, and Dubois told him “Yes, I was. That is my car, and I was driving it. I just want to go home now.” Mize explained to Dubois the indication of intoxication he had observed during his initial contact, according to the report, and asked if he would consent to perform voluntary Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST). The report says Dubois state “Yes, officer, that is okay with me.” Dubois did not complete the SFST satisfactorily and was placed under arrest at approximately 9:51 p.m., it says. Mize transported Dubois to the police station. Before leaving the scene, Mize spoke with Rusterholz, who was gathering statements from the witnesses. Chapman was transported to the Eureka Springs Hospital, the report says. At about 10:02 p.m., the report says Mize and Dubois arrived at the Eureka Springs Police Department, and Mize asked Dubois to step out of the patrol car.
Dubois stated “No, take me home now,” the report says. After being told to get out multiple times, Dubois stepped out and got in Mize’s face, the report says, and stated “take me home now.” Mize stepped back to keep distance, according to the report, and Dubois continued to try to get in his face. The report says Mize grabbed onto Dubois’ left arm and left shoulder area and escorted him inside the police department. Mize then read Dubois his Arkansas Statement of Rights and gave him a copy to follow along, according to the report. Mize then asked Dubois for a breath sample, the report says, and Dubois said he was not going to provide the specimen. Mize charged Dubois with driving while intoxicated, implied consent and domestic battery in the first degree. The report says Rusterholz provided Mize with four written statements from witnesses on the scene. It says Rusterholz said he spoke with multiple witnesses, who all stated Dubois intentionally
ran over Chapman. At about 10:50 p.m., Mize went to the hospital to speak with Chapman, the report says. A doctor told Mize that Chapman was currently in scans. The doctor told Mize that Chapman did not remember anything and may have head trauma, the report says. According to the report submitted by Rusterholz, three witnesses stated that Dubois had pulled forward and stopped, letting Chapman out of the vehicle. According to the witnesses, Chapman proceeded to walk in front of the vehicle, and Dubois gunned the car forward, it says. The report says witnesses said Dubois struck Chapman with the front passenger side of the vehicle, knocking him into the roadway unconscious. On Saturday, April 27, ESPD officer Francisco Pedraza was advised to take a voluntary statement form to Chapman. According to Pedraza’s submitted report, Chapman advised he did not recall anything that had happened before or during the incident. The report says no voluntary statement form was filled out.
