Liberated gnomes celebrate diversity in Eureka Springs By Alana Cook

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

A band of traveling gnomes who are celebrating the diversity and freedom of Eureka Springs made a pit stop at the Great Passion Play last week to “liberate” the city’s inhabitants from an always-winter-but never-Christmas spell the gnomes say was cast by the Christ of the Ozarks’ creator 40 years ago. Muntzer the Gnome raised the rainbow flag at the foot of the statue as the sign of a new era of hope and social change for the town and the world. Passion Play CEO Randall Christy said he didn’t see Muntzer’s flag but he is “familiar with the kind of sculptures” artist Stephen

Feilbach does and when the gnomes made their visit to the statue, the two talked about ways Feilbach could rescue some of the dead trees from the property. “I think [the art] is a great idea,” Christy said. After visiting the Christ of the Ozarks, the gnomes made their way to the Art Colony where they are nestling in with Feilbach, the man who freed them from trees, before doing some cave diving. “My goal in life is to become the gnome king and savior of gnomes because they are everywhere,” Felibach said. Feilbach lives by the motto, “passion looks like crazy to those who don’t have it.” Feilbach’s liberated gnomes range any-

where from two to seven feet high and are adoptable for a small price. Much like the gnomes he creates, Feilbach is a free spirit who is often compared to the Dude from the movie, “The Big Lebowski.” Like the Dude, has attracted a bit of a cult following. “There’s one interview I did at the World Series where I said I was tripping on ‘shrooms and in the interview I played the Dude,” he said as he tied his curly blondestreaked hair back in a ponytail. Each gnome is crafted with a chainsaw and Feilbach uses a chain in his truck bed to lift the heavy tree stumps. He just completed the seven-foot-long base of a tree beard statue that will be permanently displayed in

front of Studio 62 gallery downtown. Though the first week after his arrival was plagued with bad rain that hampered the birth of more liberated gnomes, Feilbach took the time to get to know Eureka’s clan of close-knit artists, many of whom are still celebrating the recent Ordinance 2223 victory. The Art Colony will be throwing a “free the gnomes” party from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday, June 13, for Feilbach and his gnome pack before they set off on the next leg of their travels.

Writers’ Colony offers three fellowships

The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow is offering three fellowships that include a two-week stay for uninterrupted writing time and a gourmet home-cooked dinner five nights a week. The My Time fellowship is for writers with children under 18 living at home. Thanks to a grant from the Sustainable Arts Foundation, this fellowship is designed to support parents who are also writers. My Time is not limited to a specific genre and the recipient does not need to be a published writer. Inspiring Recovery is a fellowship for an emerging or established writer working on a nonfiction project concentrating on mental health issues, focusing particularly on recovery who is reconstructing aspects of a healthy life while living with

mental health challenges. The Moondancer fellowship will be awarded to an emerging or established writer who’s work is in any genre about any aspect of nature and the outdoors. Each fellowship recipient has a private suite with writing space, private bath, bedroom and wireless internet. Residents also share the camaraderie of other professional writers and artists when they want it and a community kitchen stocked with the basics for breakfast and lunch. Deadline for applications for all fellowships is June 30 and the residency must be completed by July 31, 2016. For more information or an application form, email director@writerscolony.org or visit the website at www.writerscolony.org.

Road to Wakarusa takes detour The preferred route to Wakarusa will be closed this year because of a hill slide that affected the road clearance, according to a statement released May 21 by Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department officials. The statement said Highway 23 north of Mulberry Mountain will be closed until further notice. All festival traffic will need to use Interstate 40 to Highway 23 at Ozark to access the festival sight. The north toll at state Highway 23 and state Highway 16 will be closed and all resources and staff will be moved to the south toll and the number of check lanes will be increased to accommodate the additional traffic.

Wakarusa organizers said they do not expect the delay to hurt festival attendance but that festival-goers should plan on adding 30 minutes to their travel time. “It is extremely important for Wakarusa patrons to use state Highway 23 from Interstate 40 near Ozark,” festival spokesperson Rebecca Venkauskas said in a press release. “All patrons coming from the north should remain on I-49/540 South to I-40 East to Highway 23. GPS devices may suggest alternative routes from the north. These will likely be logging or utility roads that are impassable by regular cars or are dead ends.” For the more information and a map of the closures, visit www.ArkansasHighways. com.

The Christ of the Ozarks is getting another facelift this year thanks to generous donations from an anonymous donor and local volunteers who are lending their time to repair the statue’s superficial wounds. “We have received donations to buy materials and have almost raised enough money to complete the project,” said Randall Christy, chief executive officer of the Great Passion Play. Christy said volunteers will be repairing

the concrete statue’s superficial blemishes throughout the summer but the attraction will still be open for the public to enjoy. “It will probably take through the month of June and July but we aren’t sure since we are trying to see how extensive the repairs will be,” he said. The statue is coated with thick rubberized paint, which will be the focus of the repairs. Christy said the statue has no structural damage. “Moisture has gotten under the paint. See Christ, page 8

ESFD responds to call at Eureka Springs High School

Eureka Springs Fire & EMS was dispatched to Eureka Springs High School Tuesday evening after receiving a report of a burning smell in the school. No injuries were reported. On arrival, Chief Randy Ates talked to the maintenance department outside the building who told him there was a burning smell in several rooms on the southeast cor-

ner of the building next to the gymnasium. The maintenance crew had already accessed to the roof to check heat and air units. After an extensive check of the building, the source of the smell was isolated to a rooftop heat and air unit. The electrical system was disconnected and the school’s lock out, tag out system was implemented.

Henke talks about plan for ES Chamber By Scott Loftis

CarrollCountyNews @cox-internet.com

EUREKA SPRINGS — Damon Henke, interim director of the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce, outlined the chamber’s marketing strategy for a sparse crowd Monday night at the chamber’s Mid-Year Membership Meeting. Approximately 32 people, including chamber board members and employees, attended the meeting at the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center. The meeting was preceded by a trade show. Cathy Handley, chairman of the chamber’s board of directors, opened the meeting by telling the audience that Monday’s event would focus on the chamber’s future, not the past.

“If anyone has any questions concerning the past, you are more than welcome to show up at the board meeting … and we will address any questions you have at that time, no problem. But tonight we’re just going to talk about the future and where we’re going to go,” Handley said. That meeting will be held at 8:30 a.m. Monday, June 8, in the Pine Room at the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks. During his remarks, Henke said the chamber “kind of just had to hit the ‘reset’ button,” in recent months. “We’re light on staff right now,” Henke said. “We’re going to run light and lean for a while. It’s fine. We have the key people in place that need to be there.”

The case against fluoride I’d like to reply to Jasmine Stanley’s recent appeal in the Independent newspaper for a solution to our impending forced fluoridation. (Though it may appear to some in vain, I’ll repeat these words for you again.) The following was originally published in the local newspapers in June, 2012, and the N.W.A. Times declined to publish: “This is a response to the letter sent by the Arkansas Department of Health ‘experts’ published in the Citizen (Eureka Springs), May 3, 2012. In their letter, ADH “experts” stated, “experts around the world have provided strong evidence that water fluoridation is both safe and effective. There is no link between community water fluoridation and any harmful health problem ... fluoride is a natural element found in rocks, soil, fresh water and the ocean.” For the average person, fluoride is fluoride. But the above “highly educated experts” confuse calcium fluoride which is good for bones, teeth, and found in nature, with sodium fluoride, an EPA-regulated hazardous waste byproduct from the aluminum smelting industry that was found to increase suggestibility and mild retardation, as well as weakening the immune system when administered in small doses to humans over time. (Source: Dachau Prisoner of War camp records, Dachau, Germany) Fluoridated water is banned for public consumption in many countries including China, Japan, Germany, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Why is our leadership attempting to force sodium fluoride poisoning upon the citizenry? Since the wise citizens of the Carroll-Boone Water District have (twice) elected not to fluoridate our drinking

water, our “elected experts” apparently have forgotten a couple of definitions and articles of law which should make the picture perfectly clear for the literate citizen and their representatives: ELECTION: “Indicates the political will of the citizenry.” Black’s Law Dictionary REPUBLIC: “A government where the citizens have the supreme authority and are entitled to vote elected representatives and officers who are governing according to law.” Webster’s DICTATORSHIP: “A government... where absolute control is held by leadership.” Webster’s TREASON: “The offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which one owes allegiance or to kill or injure the sovereign or his family.” Webster’s GENOCIDE: “The deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political or cultural group.” Webster’s There are no provisions in the U.S. Constitution for federal or state regulation of our water supply - or food supply, or medicine or education. Our officials do not have the authority to mandate where those powers are not specified. Since citizens of the Carroll-Boone Water District have twice ELECTED not to fluoridate, this forced poisoning of the citizenry is an act of treason. The Carroll-Boone Water District Board is under no obligation to follow unconstitutional law, as is clearly stated in the 16th American Jurisprudence, Second Edition, Section 177. CBWD board members may lawfully disregard this unconstitutional mandate. If the state attempts to prosecute the board for non-compliance, the board may safely fall upon the support of the citizens of our state and district. See Forum, page 8

Benghazi witch hunt?

hile the GOP is busy pinning the blame for the 2012 Benghazi attacks on Hillary Clinton and the State Department, no one is asking about whether the CIA, the Pentagon or its contractors have any responsibility, direct or indirect, in the Benghazi attacks. Last year when I went Alana Cook to the Citizen’s Commission on Benghazi press conference at the National Press Club, hosted by Accuracy in Media and also attended by members of Judicial Watch, speakers at the press conference, which included former CIA operations officer Clare Lopez, refused to directly implicate Hillary Clinton or the State Department and instead placed the blame for the attacks squarely at the feet of the United States government and British intelligence. I was later told by a CIA source that, “Weapons were unloaded from the ships at Benghazi port in a disorganized manner, but with Chris Stevens and CIA officers reportedly per-

sonally on scene to get them into the hands of [Al-Qaeda] jihadi militias ... but nobody signed for anything. Nobody in the [United States government] wants to know if weapons used to kill Americans were first expedited, facilitated, delivered personally to [Al-Qaeda] by the very victims who eventually would be killed and injured by those jihadis.” The question then becomes why would Glenn Doherty, a Navy SEAL; Sean Smith, a United States Foreign Service officer; and Ambassador Stevens be involved in getting weapons into the hands of Al-Qaeda? To say that Hillary Clinton and the State Department are at fault without mentioning the role the others could have potentially played is inaccurate. The GOP should step back and consider the full scope of not only the 2012 attacks, but who exactly played a major role in the events that led up to those attacks including Gadaffi’s ousting and the Arab Spring. It is rather curious that the same CIA that controlled the narrative immediately after the attacks, is largely silent. One thing is certain. If the State Department had a role in directly or indirectly arming Al-Qaeda, it did not act alone.

to do now is study and follow our law; a citizen government cannot exist without the citizens knowing how it works. If the governor or the Congress continues to force this poisoning on citizens after being given this public notice, they are knowingly committing an act of treason, an attempted genocide of the citizenry, and should lawfully and permanently be removed from office.” P.S. The politicians and their pushers will go running for the fence — for treason in time of war is a capital offense. ERIC SCHEUNEMANN

Farewell, for now

It is with a heavy heart that I bid farewell to Eureka Springs. I’m moving to Fayetteville at the end of June. My two best friends retired there last fall. One went to UofA and has family all over the state. After being here eight months I realized that I need to move to a bigger market, one with more actors and more audiences. It’s essential to my creativity that I produce and direct full-scale productions that deal with provocative and gay themes, and ones that included actors of all ages. It is a move that I truly regret. I love Eureka Springs; it’s a magical city. I have been deeply touched by all those here that reached out to me with open arms. I will miss my charming apartment on Elk Street, and friends that I have made, especially those at Unitarian Fellowship. Also I would like to say “Thank You” to the other board members of the Gay Business Guild for allowing me to be a part of the Guild. For those that I feel close to, and you know who you are, I hope you will not feel I’m abandoning you, I hope that you will visit when you make any trips to Fayetteville. I enjoyed very much the two productions I directed, “Love Letters” and the staged reading of “Lying in Judgement.” And I want to thank all those that played any part in making both a success (cast, audiences and otherwise). So I’m not saying goodbye, but just farewell for now. — JOE WATTS

Preservation Society hosts rejuvenation celebration The Eureka Springs Preservation Society held a rejuvenation celebration last week and dedicated the recently rejuvenated Calif Spring Park and celebrated the restoration of the Centennial Mural. For the program, John Cross spoke about the many projects initiated by the Eureka Springs Centennial Committee for the 1979 Centennial. Cross also presented Cornerstone Bank’s Restoration Excellence Award to the Eureka Springs Preservation Society for restoration of the Centennial Mural. The meeting, held in a storefront on Main Street, was preceded by an open house at the Eureka Springs Historical Museum, which is featuring an exhibit on artists Louis and Elsie Freund. Guests also were invited to view the completed renovation of Calif Spring, adjacent to the museum, and the restoration of the Centennial Mural, 22 S. Main, that was designed and painted by Louis Freund. The Eureka Springs Preservation Society funded $12,000 of the Calif Spring renovation,

which was also supported by the Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission. The Centennial Mural restoration by Wen Norton of Norton Arts, Inc., was funded by an Arkansas Heritage Month grant awarded by the Arkansas Department of Heritage to the Eureka Springs Preservation Society, which also contributed to the project. Awards for stewardship of historic buildings and historically sensitive construction were presented. Linda Bridwell presented the Preservation Society’s awards for projects completed in 2014. Honored for outstanding restoration of a residence were Greg and Kathy Hughes for 212 Spring St., and Thomas and Judy Thorpe for 15 Kings Highway. Awards for new construction that blends with historic Eureka Springs went to Charles and Karen Plebanek for 34 Pine St., Carol Ryan for 36 Pine St., and Douglas and Beverly Breitling for the craftsman-style residence they built next to their bed-and-breakfast inn, Arsenic and Old Lace, on Hillside Avenue.

Travis Holloway of Holloway Construction received the Outstanding Preservation Craftsmanship award. Bill King and John Rankine were honored for outstanding renovation of their building at 2 Pine St., which now houses three businesses on the ground floor. Members of the Eureka Springs Historic Commission presented awards for long-term stewardship of historic properties. Steve Holifield presented Ernst and Constance Schrader with an award for stewardship of their historic residence, the 1890 Klock House at 8 Elk St. Al Larson accepted an award for stewardship of a sacred place on behalf of the Eureka Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, which meets in a chapel at 17 Elk St. Built for the Methodists in 1881, it is the oldest church building still standing in town. Eleanor Lux and Robert Wilson were honored with an award, presented by Virgil Fowler, for stewardship of six historic properties, including Lux’s weaving stu-

dio and Oscar’s Cafe on White Street and Bubba’s Barbecue on West Van Buren. Travis Walls, a conductor on the Eureka Springs North Arkansas Railway, accepted an award from Ronnie Fanning for stewardship of historic commercial property on behalf of the Dortch family, which owns the excursion railroad. Walls, dressed in his conductor’s uniform, gave his spiel exhorting passengers to refrain from “gambling, drinking hard liquor, chewing tobacco, spitting on the floor, spitting out the window or swearing or cussing in front of the womenfolk and precious children.” Arkansas Red provided music after the meeting, and Kathy Pickowitz served a cake she made, decorated with the historic stone structure at Calif Spring. The Eureka Springs Preservation Society raises money for historic preservation through its Christmas Tour of Homes on the first Saturday in December and its Society Tea at the Crescent Hotel in April.

Eureka’s Forgotten Spring: Calif Spring Gets Makeover

By Jennifer Jackson Sondra Torchia was working at the Eureka Springs Historical Museum one day when she looked out of a side window and saw a man lying on the picnic table next to Calif Spring. Three days later, she saw the same man lying on the bench. As she watched, he got up, changed his shirt and walked off. “He was living there,” she said. “It was very cool place he had found to live in. It was a hot summer.” Torchia, a former museum board member, told the story last Thursday at a rededication of Calif Spring. Held in conjunction with an open house at the museum and the Eureka Springs Preservation Society’s annual meeting, the brief ceremony celebrated the spring’s transformation from a forgotten corner to a really cool place to stop. “It’s now my favorite spring,” said Bruce Levine, Parks director. The Eureka Springs Preservation Society provided $12,000 for the renovation,

according to Dee Bright, and the Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission put more than $5,000 into it. Rocks for the raised planters came from the road paving project at Lake Leatherwood City Park. At the rededication, Levine thanked Pat Lujan, the current city gardener, for the beautiful plantings. “Pat had done an incredible job,” Levine said. Adjacent to the spring is a hut-shaped stone structure that was built to house a water radiation system, Levine said. Initiated during a typhoid outbreak, the system, which cost $20,000, was purported to purify water. “The electric bill was astronomical, and it didn’t work,” he said. The stone structure next to Calif Spring is the only surviving one of five such stone huts that were built in Eureka Springs, Levine said, adding, “I wish we had all five of them.” The small statue of a Dutch girl on one of the stone planter walls came from the

garden of DonE Allen’s mother. Allen, an artist who landscaped the springs, was the Parks’ gardener for 10 years. Levine asked how many people remembered what Calif Spring looked like two years ago, before the renovation. “It was one of those springs nobody noticed,” Levine said. “There was nothing here. No one every came. No one ever visited.” That led to the spring being used for other purposes, despite its location on Main Street. Torchia said the squatter incident occurred about 10 years ago. After the second sighting, she informed the police and the man was ejected. The makeover of the spring included the installation of a lamp post to discourage people from overnight use, Lujan said. Eureka Springs has 62 named springs. Calif Spring is located next to the Eureka Springs Historical Museum, 95 S. Main. The museum is located in the Calif House, built in 1889 as a general store, boarding house and home of the Calif family.

The Natural Way

CLA for fat loss

ver wonder why some people say grass-fed animals that produce food such as meat, milk and eggs are better for you? I mean, actually better for your health, Jim Fain not just that the flavor is better. What if I told you it is due to a type of fat and that this particular fat is only naturally found in grass-fed animals and some mushrooms? What would you say if I said this fat could reduce the spare tire around your middle, help protect women from breast cancer, men from prostate cancer and could reduce high estrogen levels? Conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, also known as Tonalin in the brand name, does just that according to the latest research. Sometimes, CLA is added to foods found in the grocery store to improve the health benefits. But most people simply take a daily supplement, in an easy-to-swallow soft gel, to get the beneficial amount of 3,000 to 4,500 mg. daily. Of course, increasing the amount of grass-fed animal sources of meat, milk, cheese and eggs helps. We are lucky to have local ranchers who provide us with high-quality eggs and local beef. Be sure to check out our farmer’s market. Not long ago, I was taking the higher dose for about four months. My waistline decreased from 36 inches to 34 inches. CLA impacts the type of fat that accumulates in the waistline. My body mass index reduced by a few points as well. Curiously, my body weight as measured by the bathroom scale didn’t drop much. But, the evidence of a smaller waistline and lower BMI means the type of fat around the middle was impacted. I would expect that since there is a good deal of science showing the protective benefit of CLA for the breast, taking CLA would benefit the prostate as well. I wasn’t surprised to find that to be true. However, much more science exists on breast benefit than prostate. The linkage is the hormone estrogen. Estrogens can fuel breast cancer and more recent science is connecting it to prostate cancer. Body fat produces estrogen in both women and men so losing weight and reducing the body mass index can be of big help. I like CLA.

Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: If you don’t succeed, try, try, try again. After the fourth try, however, you should kick back, have a beer and figure out why success eludes you like a greased pig before you wrestle with it once more. TAURUS: Your rules may be carved in stone, but someone has just found a box of dynamite. Loosen up before you find yourself under a pile of your own debris. Gemini: There’s a better day coming to you, could be Tuesday or Wednesday. Set out the nice plates and glasses and get the best wine they offer at the local gas station. You want to make a good impression. CANCER: Facing your fears isn’t fun, but it beats having them sneak up and bite you in the butt. Grab a rolled-up newspaper and conquer those personal demons while you still have a bit of booty left. LEO: You’re feeling out of touch, like an 8-track tape in a streaming podcast world. Relax, retro is in fashion and someone will shove a little square of cardboard under your butt to balance you out. VIRGO: You make a colossal screw-up at work, but the boss laughs instead of firing you. Buy your boss and the ferret a drink once everyone gets out of the supply closet alive, and swear off bubble wrap. LIBRA: Life can try to box you in, but your rat is too freewheeling for a maze. Break out the tiny skateboard and let your inner furball fly. SCORPIO: Forget what they say; go ahead and let the turkeys get you down. They give a pretty good massage as long as you’re wearing a really thick shirt. Don’t ask for a happy ending, or you’ll really be hen-pecked. SAGITTARIUS: You’re hit in

the head with a baseball on Friday and develop temporary psychic powers. You can’t predict lottery numbers but you have a nice side business finding people’s car keys for them. CAPRICORN: Grab the shades and the sunscreen, because you’re about to have your moment in the sun. Just don’t wear that thong bathing suit, because no one wants to be blinded by your butt cheeks. AQUARIUS: Feeling lost in the universe? No one else knows

what the heck they’re doing, either. That’s why there are so many videos of people falling off tables on YouTube. Watch those for a few minutes and you’ll feel like a genius. PISCES: What you want is just within reach, but you can’t stretch any farther or you’ll fall. Don’t despair, just buy one of those grabber claws and snatch victory from the snarky jaws of defeat.

Annella Lowell Baker

March 10, 1923 – May 19, 2015

Annella Lowell Baker, 92, died May 19, 2015 in Enid, Okla. She was born March 10, 1923 in Shawnee, Okla. to Warren Alva and Oma Pearl Scar Lowell. Her husband Vernon preceded her in death on Feb 1, 1998. She grew up in Muskogee, Okla. and graduated from Muskogee High School in 1941. She then attended Phillips University. On March 14, 1944 she married Vernon R. Baker in Muskogee. In 1972, the Bakers moved to Eureka Springs and established a tourist attraction, The Castle and Museum at Inspiration Point.

After guiding the Krewe of Krazo Eureka Gras for 10 years, Krewe Captain Dan Ellis has handed the reigns to his close cohort, Mary Popovac, who has been very active in the festivities over the last six years.

Ellis has been the anchor for Eureka Gras in the Ozarks over the last 10 years. Popovac will continue his vision of growing the event to include Northwest Arkansas and surrounding states.
