The people have spoken Voters approve 2223 in landslide
By Alana Cook Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The citizens of Eureka Springs voted overwhelmingly Tuesday in favor of keeping the city’s anti-discrimination ordinance that protects the rights of LGBTs. Final but unofficial results in Tuesday’s special election were 579 votes (71.5 percent) for Ordinance 2223 and 231 votes (28.5 percent) against keeping the law. The ordinance bans discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations based on an individual’s race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and socioeconomic background. Though no one from the Repeal 2223 campaign was present at the Carroll County Eastern District Courthouse in Berryville when the results were announced at about 8:45 p.m. Tuesday, several people from the Keep Eureka Fair campaign turned out to show their support. “It sends a message about who Eureka is and what we stand for,” said Sandy Martin, a former member of the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce board of directors. “We are proud of the way we ran the campaign and for all the support we got from the people who stood up and said ‘we aren’t going to take it anymore.’ Eureka is on the right side of history and humanity.” Carroll County Justice of the Peace Lamont Richie, who was integral to crafting the law, sat with Martin while the votes were being tallied and was moved by emotion in the hallway alongside Martin after the results came in. “I’m speechless,” he said. “I’m overwhelmed by the support of the community and thrilled with the results. People worked hard for every penny we raised and we didn’t get any help from outside groups. From the beginning, this is what 75 percent of Eureka wanted.” Richie said he was grateful for the support of the local community as well as the advice Keep Eureka Fair got from the Arkansas chapter of Human Rights Campaign. “As a small group of committed citizens of Eureka Springs, we are very happy that we have received such good advice, counsel
and support from so many organizations and people including the Human Rights Campaign Arkansas,” Richie said. “ While 2223 was a totally local ordinance, created by local community members, having the advice and support of so many has been instrumental.” The Eureka Springs City Council approved Ordinance 2223 on three readings and adopted the law with an emergency clause at its Feb. 9 meeting. Mayor Butch Berry signed the ordinance into law the following morning. The measure was aimed at a pre-empting a bill in the state Legislature that prohibits local governments from adopting anti-discrimination laws. That bill was sponsored by state Rep. Bob Ballinger (R-Hindsville), whose district includes Eureka Springs. It was approved by both houses of the state Legislature and will take effect July 22. Although the state law will effectively nullify Eureka Springs’ anti-discrimination ordinance, supporters of 2223 say it could be the basis for a legal challenge to the state law. Kendra R. Johnson, the state’s HRC director, said in a statement that cities like Eureka Springs are “leading the way” in protections for LGBTs. “We hope that Gov. Asa Hutchinson is taking notice,” Johnson said. “Where leadership has failed Arkansans on the state level, local municipalities like Eureka Springs have taken the initiative to ensure that all their residents are rightfully protected from all forms of discrimination. Right now, keeping up the momentum in other cities is imperative, so that every Arkansans can feel safe in their community.” Randall Christy, CEO of the Great Passion Play and a leader in the effort to repeal the ordinance, said he was disappointed that more citizens of Eureka Springs did not get out to vote. “The vote is in, and it’s clear that the Keep Eureka Fair crowd cared enough to get out and vote and the others didn’t,” Christy said in a Facebook message. “Voter apathy is a major problem in the U.S., and if less than half of the registered voters showed up for
this important issue, then Eureka Springs citizens are among the very apathetic. Some were very afraid to show up to vote against it for fear of retribution. Some say the vote didn’t matter because the state law trumps this. Some just don’t care enough. Clearly the FOR crowd cared.” Christy said that though he is for “equal treatment under the law for all people,” he is “concerned that the sexual identity and gender orientation, or SOGI laws, being passed in hundreds of U.S. cities are the first ever in the history of our nation that attempt to regulate church hiring practices, the use of church facilities, and provision of services by churches and ministers. “That is the reason I stood against the law and will continue to fight such measures in the U.S. It is unconstitutional for the government to regulate church policies and practices. Regardless, I am here to stay. The Pas-

sion Play is here to stay and I love Eureka Springs,” he said. Locals and campaign supporters gathered at the Keep Eureka Fair campaign headquarters on Spring Street to celebrate the victory. Local artist Zeek Taylor held back tears as he expressed his appreciation to everyone who helped in the campaign. “It feels overwhelming to see the amount of love and support from this community. I knew Eureka Springs is accepting and loving but this shows me with my heart,” he said. “Truth, love and acceptance prevailed in Eureka Springs Tuesday. We will go forward as a city recognizing all the people who call Eureka Springs home,” said Alderman James DeVito, who has been a strong supporter of the ordinance. Berry also attended the celebration. In a statement to the Citizen on Wednesday See 2223, page 18

Circle of Life Hospice Comes to you
ESDN “Downtown Natives” get down and dirty to help bolster ecotourism In an effort to bolster ecotourism, volunteers will begin weeding and prepping the soil in Pagoda Park near the art murals in the first of several city beautification projects sponsored by the Eureka Springs Downtown Network and ReImagine Main Street that begin this year and will continue for the next few years. The newly-formed Downtown Natives will be stripping the garden of non-native species, prepping the soil and creating a lasting garden of native plants to bring back the birds, bees and butterflies in Pagoda Park from 7 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, May 19. Later in the fall, they will plant wildflowers, shrubs and trees and post signs to educate the public about the city’s native plant species and their ecological habitats. The project is a partnership with community volunteers, Faith Petit-Shah, Susan Pang, Eureka Springs Public Works, Eureka
Springs Parks and Recreation Commission, the New Moon Spa and Salon, the Eureka Springs Downtown Network and ReImagine Main Street. Over the next several years with the help of local volunteers, Downtown Natives will continue weeding, cleaning and planting in public places along Main Street and attempt to achieve Audubon certification to attract birding enthusiasts and ecotourists. Petit-Shah said she is grateful for all the groups who are lending a hand to help and to local businesses who held fundraisers for the project. “A special thanks to New Moon Spa for their amazing fundraiser,” she said. All members of the community, including children and families, are encouraged to bring their own tools to help with the project.

25th Annual White Street Walk showcases new and old By Alana Cook
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
More than 40 local artists, including upand-comers and those from the well-established set, will be on hand to meet the public and showcase their work this Friday during the 25th annual White Street Walk. Local artists will open their homes and studios from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. so strollers can view and purchase art in a myriad of mediums and genres — from high-end works to craft pieces and everything in between. The walk’s founders and organizers — weaver Eleanor Lux, watercolorist Zeek Taylor and painter/sculptor Mary Springer — ended up living on White Street by coincidence after attending the Memphis College of Art and organized the walk. “It has continued to grow and I’m amazed after 25 years it’s still such a popular event. People plan their vacations around it,” Taylor said. “The Walk has put White Street on the map and for those of us that live on the street, we have been given the gift of having a real neighborhood. The walk has been good for my art career, but more importantly, it has been an avenue to meet many people and form wonderful friendships.” Taylor said the art scene in Eureka has continued to grow with more galleries and more fine art and the city’s reputation as an art community has increased nationally. “Light draws light. Because there are so many artists here, artists want to live with us. Crystal Bridges put all of Northwest Arkansas on the map, so people want to come see us as well,” he said. Paul Daniel, who just opened the Paul Daniel Art Company on Spring Street, a few blocks down from White Street, agrees with Taylor’s sentiment that the art scene in Eureka is growing. “We have a world-class artist community that could rival Santa Fe, N.M., and other artist gem communities,” he said. “If I take my marketing expertise I see this as a global art movement and my focus is getting the work of Eureka Springs artists out of Eureka Springs and into the world.” Daniels said the Eureka art scene is host to

a plethora of artists, many of whom are expanding their horizons. “I’m rediscovering older artists. There’s a tremendous amount of talent in this town,” he said. “What I have found as an outsider and gallery owner is a lot of artists have become comfortable showing one kind of work but if you get into their space and their lives, there is much more than what they are showing.” For more information, visit http://www.

ES band director hopes to inspire students By Samantha Jones
CCNNews@cox-internet.com
Barry Milner believes music saved his life. The band director for the Eureka Springs School District, Milner said he turned to music as a child to manage the negativity in his life. “My dad was not very supportive of me at all. Music helped me cope with a lot of things that have gone wrong in my life,” Milner said. His career is a testament to his dedication to composing and performing music; he recalled performing throughout the Milner United States and in China, adding that he currently has 12 to 15 compositions published for various skill levels to play. “I make a little bit of money on the side doing that, and it helps the kids understand that there’s another side to this,” Milner said. “It’s not just us reading a piece of music. They actually get the experience of having a living, breathing composer in front of them.” His most impressive accomplishment so far, he reported, is writing a horn concerto for the University of Arkansas wind symphony featuring world-renowned horn soloist Jeff Nelsen. Milner remembered taking his students to the Walton Arts Center at the University of Arkansas to see the performance this past year.
“The kids loved it. It showed them that if you follow your dreams, you can achieve anything,” Milner said. “The kids got to see another side of the whole performing element and how composing and performing is a collaborative effort.” The trip, he said, brought the band together as a family. He noted the importance of a family-like atmosphere for a band, saying it won’t work any other way. Citing the influence of a former band director, Milner said he hopes he can help his students overcome their individual problems and come together as a family unit. “I hope to impart to the kids that music is a very, very good thing in their life, and they can do things with it for the rest of their life,” he said. He reminisced on his troubled childhood, saying he hated everything about high school save for band class. In band class, he said, he felt welcome. “I had a teacher who was like a second dad to me. He was more of a dad to me than what my own father was,” Milner said. His father, Milner recalled, didn’t treat him very well. “My father was more abusive in his words and he didn’t really want to spend time with us. That’s a form of verbal abuse,” he said. Adding that he’s since forgiven his father, Milner said he hopes to share his story with students to reveal hope in all situations. “Some of these kids come from really difficult backgrounds, more difficult than mine even,” he said. “I don’t always make the mark, but I try to be as helpful and kind and courteous as I can to them.” To better understand his students, Milner
said, he tries to put himself in their shoes. “I’m not perfect, but they’re not perfect either,” he said. “We’re not perfect people and we’re just trying to get through life the best we can.” He credited music as a vehicle for students to express themselves, noting that students can receive scholarships for playing music and can continue to play music throughout their lives. “They don’t necessarily have to major in it, but it’s one of those things where you can express yourself and stay out of trouble,” he said. Music is an outlet, he said, because it helps students express emotions they may not even know they have. Milner recalled composing pieces to relieve anger and to reflect happiness. “Music can propel your emotions in a positive direction or in a negative direction,” he said. “It can make you sad. It can make you angry.” Milner called himself a crusader for troubled youth; through music, he noted, he hopes he can reach students who would otherwise close themselves off to others. “I want to tell them, ‘Hey, there’s a better way. You don’t have to let your past define who you are. You can achieve something. You can do something with your life,’ “ he said. Since starting work at Eureka Springs last fall, Milner said he has seen vast improvement among young band members. The Eureka Springs band, he said, is up-and-coming. “We’ve made a whole lot of progress this year. I’m really proud of their accomplishments and what they’re doing,” he said.

The Natural Way L-Glutathione has many benefits
I
started writing this column when the Citizen originated about 15 years ago. I’m always excited to Jim Fain hear and learn from my readers. A reader in Berryville took the time to tell me about his experiences dealing with asthma. “Asthma is a very debilitating condition and can just make life miserable,” he said. “I found several things that helped alleviate the symptoms somewhat; turmeric as an anti-inflammatory seemed to be of some use. But the one supplement I found that has almost completely alleviated all of my symptoms/suffering is L-Glutathione. I take 500 mg. a day and almost forget that I have the condition.” L-Glutathione is an anti-aging, anti-toxin, anti-disease amino acid which is critical to health and which most people know little to nothing about. Pharmaceutical companies have done extensive study on this very natural supplement. Taking as little as 150 mg. daily in a reduced form by mouth has helped many. Still, I like a supplement called N-acetylcysteine even better than straight glutathione. Glutathione levels decrease as we age. There is a corresponding decline in our health and longevity as levels drop. Low glutathione levels have been linked to cardiovascular disease, cataracts, macular degeneration, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s as well as aging in general. In our animal friends, researchers at Louisiana State University showed a clear and definite linkage to the levels of glutathione and the drop in inflammation which goes hand-in-hand with the healing of inflammatory bowel disease. Asthma is connected to inflammation, too, as is coronary artery disease. I checked PubMed and the National Library of Medicine, searching for N-acetylcysteine which produces glutathione in our system. I found hundreds of scientific studies showing benefit including liver health. I found none demonstrating toxicity especially at 600 to 1,200 mg. daily when swallowed. Cruciferous veggies such as broccoli and especially brussels sprouts are good sources though you have to eat them regularly and have large servings. Garlic, scallions, onions and shallots all make the glutathione in broccoli work better in your system. A supplement of at least 150 mg. of reduced glutathione or better yet, 1200 mg. of N-acetylcysteine (NAC-600) seems prudent and workable.
Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: You’re a few Cocoa Puffs short of a bowl, but you’re still sweet. Just don’t turn the milk brown when you sit in it or you’ll never be invited back to that day spa again. TAURUS: Get to the heart of the matter and you’ll understand everything. If you’re lucky, you can do it just by pressing an ear against someone’s lovely chest. If not, you’ll have to pry up a few floorboards, Poe-style. GEMINI: If you put your best foot forward, does that mean you have a worst foot? Next time you’re getting a mani/pedi, chip in the cash for both feet so you don’t have to hop to impress. Until then, one flipflop and one Ugg boot will have to do. CANCER: Just as you’re getting into your groove, someone scratches the record. The hipsters might panic but you know the old-school tricks, so keep the Scotch tape and quarters handy for a smooth beat. LEO: It’s fine to keep your eyes on the prize, just remember to glance down occasionally so you know where you’re stepping. There’s a lot of cowpies between you and that shiny goal. VIRGO: Good news: your sex tape ends up a viral video. Bad news: it’s hashtagged as an Epic Fail. Put away the camera while you’re practicing that wild Kama Sutra move; all the footage proves you need better health insurance.

Jim Ball is the new part-time driver at Turpentine Creek. He stands in front of the newly acquired trolley used on tours.
Turpentine Creek gets new trolley and driver
Jim Ball, the former maintenance manager and head mechanic for the Eureka Springs Transit, will be driving passengers of Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge’s new trolly on tours of the park. Ball, a Vietnam veteran, worked for the city’s transit system for 14 years and has roots in Eureka Springs. “My father and grandfather were born in Eureka Springs, and my great-grandfather came here as a small boy right after the Civil War,” he said. Ball said this new job wasn’t his first time helping out at TCWR. “I used to come out here to fix stuff when I ran Bill’s Appliances in town,” he said. The trolley is a 2007 Chevrolet Goshen coach purchased from Eureka Springs
Transit six weeks ago. “It’s funny,” Ball said. “I was the one who originally went down to Little Rock to pick this trolley up when it was brand new, and now here I am driving it again.” Scott Smith, TCWR’s president, said the refuge is pleased to have the new service. “We’re always looking for ways to improve the refuge, and adding a second trolley allows us to serve the public better, and that in turn helps the cats,” Scott Smith, TCWR president said. TCWR offers both walking and riding guided tours starting each day at 10 a.m. daily. The walking tours run every hour on the hour, and the trolley tours run on the half hour.
