Cornerstone Bank raises $5,000 for Good Shepherd By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Cornerstone Bank has been working hard to help Good Shepherd Humane Society this year. Assistant vice president Andrea Peterson reported the bank has raised $5,000 for Good Shepherd since January. “We’re proud to be part of raising funds and helping with Good Shepherd,” Peterson said. Also a board member for Good Shepherd, Peterson said she’s not the only person at Cornerstone dedicated to helping out at the shelter. Cornerstone was a corporate sponsor for Good Shepherd’s Diamonds and Denim Ball in March, Peterson said, where some bank employees donated their time to help the event run smoothly. “Some of our employees did their own volunteer work. They helped do the donations and worked the front door helping with check-ins,” Peterson said. “They did a great job,” said Good Shepherd board president Jay Fusaro. “They did,” Peterson said, “and they’re looking forward to helping with another event.” Cornerstone has helped Good Shepherd in various ways over the past six months, Peterson said, hosting a fundraiser at the bank’s downtown parking lot, participating in the Mardi Gras Parade with the Krewe of Barkus, placing donation canisters at bank locations in March and offering employees a chance to wear jeans for $5 per day. “We did that a couple of times a week for the months of March and April,” Peterson said. “Of course, the majority of employees paid more than $5.

them made a really healthy donation, which I thought was nice.” Peterson said the bank periodically puts out donation canisters for Good Shepherd. “That’s so people can know they can come in and use them,” Peterson said, “or they can come straight into the bank and say, ‘I want to donate to Good Shepherd’ and it puts it right into the account for donation.” Some of the Cornerstone’s most valuable initiatives to benefit Good Shep-
herd brought awareness to everything the organization does in Carroll County, Peterson said. At the Mardi Gras Parade, she said, bank employees passed out lollipops with information on Good Shepherd and how to donate to the shelter. “It’s to let people know what this is for, that this is a local no-kill shelter,” Peterson said. “Good Shepherd is a nonprofit organization supported solely by donations and fundraisers. We’re grateful to be part of the community and help
with fundraising and awareness.” She continued, “We had shelter employees bring some of the dogs up here to the bank to do some group pictures. It was fun to have the puppies in the lobby. They’re cute.” Fusaro thanked Peterson for her dedication to Good Shepherd, saying the board is lucky to have her. “We’re very proud to have Andrea on the board as a representative of Cornerstone Bank,” Fusaro said. “To have See GSHS, page 3

ES man accused of rape, kidnapping By Scott Loftis
CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
A Eureka Springs man is free on bond after being arrested Friday, May 24, on multiple charges including rape and kidnapping. Eureka Springs police arrested Joseph William Linker, 43, at the business on Spring Street where he lives and works, according to the intake log from the Carroll County Detention Center. In addition to rape and kidnapping, Linker also faces charges of terroristic threatening in the first degree and interference with emergency communications. Linker is scheduled to appear in Carroll County Circuit Court in Berryville

the long relationship with Cornerstone we have had … they’ve been good to us and have believed in us. We’ve been very fortunate to have generous donors like Cornerstone Bank and others, and a very good fundraising team.” Diamonds and Denim Ball is one of Good Shepherd’s most successful fundraisers of all time, Fusaro said, and there’s more where that came from. Fundraisers are important, Fusaro said, because it costs $280,000 to run the shelter each year. “It takes a lot of money to run the shelter,” Fusaro said. “All our money comes from donations, fundraisers and the two thrift stores. It’s really important we have very good corporate sponsors like Cornerstone Bank behind us. We have a good team that works very, very hard.” Peterson said she appreciates all the work shelter employees put in. “They do a wonderful job. Their goal is to make sure these animals are all being taken care of,” Peterson said. “They make sure these precious animals go to a good home. Together, this whole group is doing a great job. I’m proud to
at 9 a.m. Monday, June 17. A Berryville woman filed a petition for an order of protection against Linker on May 22 in Carroll County Circuit Court. In that peLinker tition, the alleged victim writes that Linker attacked her twice on Tuesday, May 14. “On the morning of May 14, 2019, I was violently assaulted in my home by Joseph Linker,” the woman writes. “Later that same evening, I was assaulted
be part of it.” Peterson remembered when she was approached to join Good Shepherd’s board, saying she didn’t have to think about it too hard. “I love animals. I have three little fluffy dogs myself,” Peterson said. “I just adore animals, so I was like, ‘Let’s do it.’ “ “[Peterson] is like a bulldog when it comes to raising money for Good Shepherd,” said Cornerstone Bank president Jason Tennant. “She’s a real advocate, and it’s not because she’s on the board. She was an advocate before she was even on the board.” Those interested in helping Good Shepherd, Fusaro said, can donate money, supplies or time. “A good way to help Good Shepherd is to volunteer at the stores, especially the Berryville store,” Fusaro said. “Four hours a week can make a big, big difference.” There has never been any question when it comes to Cornerstone helping Good Shepherd, Tennant said. “For us, it’s pretty obvious why we’re involved,” Tennant said. “What they do is important. We’ve got a bunch of good folks working hard. We know it’s an important part of our community.”
once again, more violently this time.” The woman writes that Linker bound her by the wrists and ankles and held her against her will for the rest of the night and for some time the following morning, raping her more than once. According to the alleged victim, Linker threatened her safety and that of her daughter if she reported the incident. “His actions are very unpredictable and I fear that he could potentially retaliate against me for going to law enforcement,” the woman writes. Carroll County Circuit Judge Scott Jackson issued an ex parte order of protection against Linker the same day the alleged victim filed her petition. The order is effective until Tuesday, June 18,
when a hearing is scheduled to consider a permanent order. The alleged victim was interviewed by Eureka Springs police officer Tim Holm on May 18 and by detective Josh Jackson on May 20, describing the alleged incidents in detail, according to an affidavit written by Jackson seeking a warrant for Linker’s arrest. The affidavit, filed May 24 in Carroll County Circuit Court, says Jackson interviewed Linker the previous day at the Eureka Springs Police Department. After Linker’s arrest, he appeared before Carroll County District Judge Dale Ramsey on May 29. Ramsey set bond for Linker at $50,000, and a bail bond company posted Linker’s bond later that day.

Good Shepherd Humane Society to host Art Barkwalk Sale Sunday By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Are you in the mood to purchase good art for a good cause? Look no further than Good Shepherd Humane Society’s Art Barkwalk Sale. The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, June 9, at the Eureka Springs Good Shepherd Thrift Store at 124 W. Van Buren. There will be hot dogs, brats, potato salad and beans for sale for $5 if you’re feeling hungry. Fiona Richards, Good Shepherd’s fundraising chair, said the sale will take place on the front lawn of the Eureka Springs store. “It will be a sidewalk sale,” Richards said. “One of our board members is actually going to be grilling, and Cornerstone Bank is being really generous and donating the grill to us that day.” Richards said she came up with the idea for the sale after realizing how much art the thrift stores receive from the community. “We’re so blessed we get a lot of art donated to us at the thrift stores,” Richards said. “However, a lot of times because of space, it may just be sitting
there. We thought this would be a great way to get the word out, get people to the thrift store and buy some fabulous art.” She continued, “There’s some great art from local artists. You never know –– you might find a Picasso. And all the proceeds go to the shelter.” Board president Jay Fusaro said the sale will help Good Shepherd in two ways. It will generate revenue for the shelter, Fusaro said, and increase foot traffic at the thrift store. “The thrift stores generate half the revenue for Good Shepherd,” Fusaro said, “and for us to keep the inventory fresh, we always like to have periodic sales whether it’s a dollar sale or this art sale. We’ve done a chair sale, too.” He added, “It’s always a good way for us to rotate inventory so when people come to the thrift stores they’re always seeing something fresh and new.” After looking through the art, Richards said, you should venture inside the thrift store to see what’s in there. “You can find some really nice summer clothes, summer shoes and household items,” Richards said. “You can do
a lot of shopping there.” Fusaro thanked everyone who has donated items to the thrift stores and said new or gently used items are always welcome. “We’d love for people to keep us in mind for estate sales. We will go pick up items,” Fusaro said. “Volunteering is another great way for people to help Good Shepherd. Four hours a week can make a huge difference.” For those interested in what’s happening at Good Shepherd, Richards encouraged them to follow Good Shepherd on Facebook. “We love for people to keep up with us on Facebook, because they get to hear all the latest, greatest news on adoptions, lost and found pets and events,” Richards said. Everyone should come to the Art Barkwalk Sale on Sunday, Fusaro said, because it’s going to be a lot of fun. “It’s a nice way to have a nice lunch for $5 and all the proceeds go to Good Shepherd,” Fusaro said. “Come out, have a nice lunch, buy some good art and support Good Shepherd.”
Five and Dime Drama Collective seeks scripts for Fall Performance Series By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Five and Dime Drama Collective is looking for its next big production. Board member Heather Huber announced the drama collective is soliciting scripts for the Fall Performance Series from now until June 30. Huber said this should be the first time the 10-minute plays have been performed, saying one play per playwright may be sent to fiveanddimedrama@gmail.com. “If they have been workshopped, that’s fine,” Huber said, “but if they have been
performed, we don’t want them. We’re not just looking regionally. We want anybody from anywhere on the planet to say, ‘Yes, I have a script I’d like to see performed in Eureka Springs.’ “ The board will narrow down the plays throughout the summer, Huber said. “We’ll decide by early to mid-July which of them we’d like to perform in the fall,” she said. What makes a script stand out, Huber said, is how it makes the audience think and feel. Huber said the drama collective is always looking for cutting edge
material. “We want our audience to think, not just perceive,” Huber said. “I don’t want an audience member going, ‘Oh, that’s pretty. That’s fun and I laughed.’ I want the audience to walk away from it saying, ‘That was really interesting.’ “ Huber continued, “It’s about creating dialogue and new thought. That’s what makes a script stand out. There has to be an aspect of reflection, not just observation.” She loves that the drama collective only See Scripts, page 5

Turpentine Creek rescues ‘pet’ bobcats after flooding
Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge team members traveled to west central Arkansas on Tuesday to pick up two male bobcats, Prince and Tony, who were being kept as pets, after their previous owner was displaced by Arkansas River floodwaters. The organization partnered with the International Fund for Animal Welfare to conduct the rescue. TCWR retrieved the bobcats, who are less than a year old, from a woman who explained that police officers had rescued the animals just in time from a flooded home. The woman said their cages had been submerged in water up to their bellies. Under direction of the flood victim, police officers transferred Prince and Tony higher ground and placed them in the care of the woman who contacted TCWR at approximately 10 p.m. Monday night. Being unfamiliar with bobcat care, she began contacting other animal welfare organizations the next day in hopes of finding a trained facility to take them and was directed to Turpentine Creek. After receiving the call and locating a route that wasn’t impacted by flooding, Turpentine Creek team members set off on the rescue mission mid-afternoon Tuesday. Because of high waters, they were redirected several times before obtaining the bobcats and returning to the refuge at approximately 11 p.m. Tuesday. Prince and Tony were allegedly taken from the wild in October of last year. TCWR’s immediate concerns for the pair are nutritional deficiency from being fed only cat food by their previous owner, as well as evident muscle atrophy in their back legs. According to the woman who contacted TCWR, the previous owner had housed the brothers in “two little dog crates” and would occasionally allow them to alternate time in
a small dog run. As TCWR’s staff veterinarian, Dr. Kellyn Sweeley, conducts full wellness exams for each of them, they will be quarantined in the onsite Jackson Memorial Veterinary Hospital to ensure they have no diseases that will transfer to the sanctuary’s other animal residents. Currently, Prince and Tony have to be separated from each other because of aggression, but it is believed that neutering them may solve that issue and allow them to be released into a habitat together. TCWR President Tanya Smith expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and well-wishes the team received as they conducted the rescue. “Thank you to everyone who kept us in your thoughts yesterday during our travels and a special thank you to ifaw for your partnership during this rescue,” Smith said. “We are happy to report that Prince and Tony, as well as the rest of us, made it home safe and sound late last night. We hope you will continue to support our newest animal residents by making a donation towards the lifetime care we will be providing them.” Donations can be made online at https://www.turpentinecreek.org/support-us/donate-now/, over the phone by calling 479-253-5992, or by mail to 239 Turpentine Creek Lane, Eureka Springs, Arkansas, 72632. Smith encouraged the public to follow Prince and Tony’s progress on Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge’s Facebook platform and Instagram page (@turpentinecreek).

If you have any type of skill set, we can put you to work,” Huber said. “If you do construction, we need sets built. If you cook, we are hungry. If you write, we are looking for scripts.” She continued, “If you can direct, we are looking for directors. If you happen to own a venue and you want people to come there, we love to perform in different spaces. If you like to sew, we always need costumes. If you have a store, we need props like furniture.” Huber thanked the community for supporting Five and Dime, saying the drama collective is dedicated to its community. “We are committed to performing in Eureka Springs,” Huber said. “Even though you might go several months without hearing about us, we are still working behind the scenes.”

accepts work that has never been performed before, Huber said. “There’s so much constantly emerging and changing,” Huber said. “New work keeps the dynamic fresh.” Over the past year, Huber said, the drama collective has experienced its fair share of change. The board has four new members, with Larry Horn being the only original board member left. The new board members are Bryan Manire, Chris Ritthaler, Matthew Taylor and Huber. Huber said founding members Ann Hopkins and Tom Gorsuch resigned to enjoy their retirement. “They’re still involved, but they’ve scaled way back on their commitment,” Huber said. The drama collective is working with creative director Ken Woodard, Huber said, who doesn’t have a position on the board. “We’re keeping those things a little separate so [Woodard] can move forward with the vision of what Five and Dime is without having the constraints

Chronic pain
In the past, drugs such as Celebrex, Viox and Aleve (naproxen) have all hit mainstream news as increasing the risk of heart troubles if taken on a regular basis over a period of time. Of course these medicines are usually given to people who have chronic pain most often associated with arthritis and they have to take daily over a long period of time. Arthritis is the most common but is not necessarily the only ailment for which pain relief therapy is undertaken. Many people stuck in the medical model don’t even know alternatives exist. Underlying pain is a condition called inflammation. Inflammation in the short haul is part of the healing process. But if inflammation lasts too long and becomes chronic, life becomes miserable and other ailments tend to pop up including coronary artery disease and heart attack. Celebrex, Viox and Aleve all have been useful in dealing with chronic pain but science has now shown there might be a deal with the devil. Take these to get rid of the aches and pain but risk of having a heart attack increases. Ironically, reducing inflammation should reduce the chance of a heart attack. Many MDs insist that these drugs, unless removed from the market by the FDA, are still
useful provided doses are carefully monitored and lab tests done on a regular baJim Fain sis. Be that it may be, why not try a few tried and true natural anti inflammatories? There are many herbals and supplements to choose from but I’ll give a short list to consider. If I had to use something to reduce chronic pain (inflammation), and I do, then I would start with turmeric (1200mg in the am and 1200 mg at bedtime). I’d also add 3000mg/day of fish oil (yielding about 500mg DHA/day). If I were still in pain then I’d be adding granular MSM from 3000mg - 6000mg/day. These are my personal and professional favorites as they have no side effects except for improved health such as possible reduction of cancer, reduction of hardening of the arteries, improved hair and nails along with considerable pain reduction. The turmeric and MSM start to work right away, the fish oil kicks in over time and dosages of all can be raised if needed. There are many other naturals to choose from, too. For instance a formula product that works exceptionally well is named InflamMove –– try it and you’ll like it. Just be open-minded.

Obituaries Brian Abendroth
Brian Abendroth, of Eureka Springs, Ark., departed this world much too early on May 22, 2019, at the age of 35. He was born Jan. 5, 1984, in Topeka, Kan. For the vast, diverse community who knew him, Brian was a beacon of humor, spirit and generosity. He made life more enjoyable for those in his presence and provided much needed, yet commonly neglected, relief from the weight we tend to carry on our shoulders without necessarily knowing it until it is lifted by the kindness of others. He will be remembered by his community for his generosity of energy, uncanny ability and almost compulsive desire to make everyone around him laugh and add an air of excitement and lightheartedness to any situation. Brian Abendroth had a lifelong love for music, from hip hop to rock-n-roll to country. He graduated from Eureka Springs High School and went on to attend the University of Arkansas where he got his degree in Kinesiology. During that time, he joined the Arkansas Razorback’s Basketball team as support through his role as Road Manager. Brian is survived by his father, Dave Abendroth, who instilled not simply a passive, but an interactive appreciation for music and its ability to be used as a tool to bring people together as a community. His mother, Martha (Walker) Abendroth, who’s caring, nurturing and forgiving nature would be the catalyst for the generosity he would pass on to the many relationships he cultivated. His big brother, Ben, who Brian not only looked up to, but who served as a template for what it meant to be a young father in the Abendroth clan. His sister-in-law, Tracy

Abendroth; niece and nephew, Cole and Cameron, who allowed Brian to be the fun, crazy uncle, a role he was most certainly born to play. Brian was united in marriage on Feb. 26, 2011 to Chelsea (Jewel) Abendroth. Chelsea provided a much needed Ying to Brian’s Yang. Her role as a dedicated and caring mother laid the foundation for their loving partnership. It created a much sought after familial stability and gave Brian, not only an admiring, appreciative audience to the humor he brought to every situation, but the opportunity to be a dedicated, caring husband and father as well as the ability to carry on the strong, supportive family unit which had become such an integral part of his life through his loving upbringing. Finally, he is also survived by his beautiful, loving daughter, Chase Abendroth, who is as blessed to possess as she is unfairly burdened with the task of carrying on Brian’s sharp wit, sense of humor, infectious energy, charm and a light bright enough to illuminate the smile on the face of anyone fortunate enough to possess memories of Brian Abendroth. Brian Abendroth was preceded in death by his grandfather, Dr. E.I. Abendroth, and grandparents, Kenneth and Josephine Walker. A memorial service and celebration of life will take place at the Lake Leatherwood Park on June 8, 2019, starting at 5 p.m. A memorial fund in Brian’s memory is being set up for his daughter, Chase. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Nelson Funeral Service. Online condolences may be sent to the family at nelsonfuneral.com.
