Flags, floats and four-legged transportation were part of last year’s 4th of July parade.
Parade On!
Fourth of July marches in honor of Sue By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
Sue Glave has always held the torch of freedom high. Glave organized the Eureka Springs Veterans Day Parade in honor of her late husband, a Vietnam vet, expanding it into a weekend of events honoring local vets. Glave also single-handedly revived Eureka Springs’ 4th of July Parade, and last year, portrayed the Statue of Liberty complete with copper patina. So when she had to undergo heart surgery in Little Rock last month, it looked like there wouldn’t be a parade this year. Then Regina Smith, stepped forward to carry the torch, despite the late date. “I’m doing it in Sue’s honor,” Smith said. Smith, an artist and a friend of Glave’s, filed a parade permit request with the city last Wednesday. Within 24 hours, she had recruited two dozen entries, including an Uncle Sam on stilts and a grand marshal, Mayor Morris Pate. The American Legion Post of Holiday Island signed up, as did the Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Network, Good Shepherd Humane Society, the Historical Museum and the Carroll County Cruisers antique car club. Carly James’ business, Eureka Springs Auction and Marketplace, is sponsoring the
parade, Smith said. James DeVito donated money to have a banner printed. “It’s coming together pretty fast,” Smith said. Smith is a painter and sculptor who sells her mobiles and paintings in Basin Park. She has organized several art car parades, she said, both in Eureka Springs and in other areas. Smith said she decided to organize the parade because she felt like she had do something. “Especially some of the vets would have been disappointed,” Smith said. Sonny Smith, a Vietnam veteran, is riding his motorcycle in the parade. Butch Berry and Sonny Carter, who are running for political office, will be there, as will the Save the Ozarks contingent. Jerry Landrum and Jerry Jones will be marching and playing music. Smith is trying to recruit a school band and other local musicians. The 4th of July Parade stages on Spring Street in front of the Crescent Spring Gazebo. The parade starts at 2 p.m. and goes down Spring Street to Basin Park. To enter, contact Regina Smith, 479-981-2613. The Eureka Springs Downtown Network will have a variety of traditional games and activities in Basin Park before and after the parade, including a watermelon spitting contest.
After walking in last year’s 4th of July parade, Sue Glave, as the Statue of Liberty, poses on the steps of the Carroll County Western Division Courthouse.

Forum on SWEPCO proposal draws vocal crowd By Scott Loftis
carrollcountynews@cox-internet.com
EUREKA SPRINGS — A vocal, sometimes angry crowd of opponents to Southwestern Electric Power Co.’s plans to run a high-voltage power line through Carroll County turned out for a public forum hosted by a pair of state legislators on Thursday. State Sen. Bryan King (R-Green Forest) and State Rep. Bob Ballinger (R-Hindsville), who hosted the event at the Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center, said they plan to introduce a pair of bills in next year’s legislative session that would make it more difficult for utility companies to complete projects such as the one proposed by SWEPCO. One bill would address the state’s eminent domain law and make it more difficult for utilities such as SWEPCO to acquire private land through eminent domain. The other would establish an

Both King and Ballinger acknowledged receiving campaign donations from SWEPCO in the past. Both publicly stated their opposition to SWEPCO’s plans at Thursday’s meeting. “SWEPCO has given me campaign contributions in the past, and you know what I did this year?” King said. “I said no.” Ballinger said he had received one campaign contribution from SWEPCO. “I want to be above reproach by my constituents,” said Ballinger, an attorney who was elected to the state House of Representatives in 2012. “The only contribution I ever got from SWEPCO was $350, and that was when I first got elected.”

Ballinger also apologized for not taking a more vocal stance against the proposed power line. “It may be true that I should have been a whole lot louder a whole lot earlier,” he said. “I haven’t been as involved as I should have been, and I apologize for that. I hope you all will forgive me for that. Am I against this? Yes, I am.” Doug Stowe of Save the Ozarks said much of the difficulty that the group has encountered in its bid to stop SWEPCO from constructing the high-voltage line stems from the autonomy of the APSC. “Part of the reason we’re in this position is because we have a Public Service Commission that doesn’t follow state law,” Stowe said. “Our fundamental problem here is that the Public Service Commission is in effect a forest unto itself. It makes up its own rules for practice and procedure. … Some oversight and legislative control needs to be exercised on the Public Service Commission.” Approximately 200 people attended the forum. Ballinger praised residents for their efforts. “If there is an answer, it’s public involvement and you all have done a phenomenal job of demonstrating that,” he said.

2013 preservation awards presented By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs Preservation Society presented six awards for preservation projects and efforts in 2013 at the Grand Central Hotel last Thursday. Receiving the inaugural “Historic Preservation Through Craftsmanship” award was Penny Pemberton, whose company, Pemberton Painting, was in charge of repairing and repainting the Crescent Spring gazebo. Dee Bright, president, and Linda Bridwell, secretary, presented Ken Ketelsen with an award for improving the site of 179 Main St., now Fresh Farm to Table restaurant and shops. Frank Green received an award for restoring the residence at 61 Mountain St., which was on the 2013 Holiday Tour of Homes. Elise Roenigk, owner of the historic Crescent and Basin Park hotels, received a special recognition award for ongoing contribution to preservation in Eureka Springs. Glenna Booth received the “Outstanding Service Through Research” award for creating the script for “Eureka Springs’ Historic
Vignettes,” 15 short digital movies accessible through the information maps in town. An “Outstanding Preservation Through Media” award was presented to Sandy Martin for producing the movies and Kim Stryker for them. The Eureka Springs Preservation Society donated $14,000 to public preservation projects in 2013, according to treasurer Suzanne Childers. The funds were used to clean up and landscape the Stair-Step Garden, to buy pottery for Basin Park and to help pay for a makeover of Calif Spring, which included raised flower beds and walkways. For the program, two of the historic vignettes, on the history of Planer Hill and early methods of transportation, were shown. The awards presentation was hosted by the Grand Central Hotel. Champagne punch and refreshments were served. Founded in 1978, the Eureka Springs Preservation Society is dedicated to preserving the natural and architectural beauty of Eureka Springs. New members are welcome. For more information, go to eurekaspringspreservationsociety.org.

Survey Says:
Eureka has what shoppers want By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
What do people like about shopping in downtown Eureka Springs? In a word: variety. That was the main answer to a survey taken by the Eureka Springs Downtown Network, according to Jacqueline Wolven, ESDN director. “Variety is always the thing they talked about,” Wolven said. Wolven presented the results of the survey at a merchants’ meeting at Eureka Thyme on Tuesday. Shoppers liked the fact that Eureka has unique shops they don’t find in malls, Wolven said. The town’s history and historic buildings added to the experience. What would improve their visit: knowing where to park, and free shuttle service. “The highlights are we are a great shopping destination,” Wolven said. “The puzzle for us is how we communicate parking and transportation better.” The fact that the trolley only runs until 6 p.m. Sunday through Friday, and until 8 p.m. on Saturday, was raised as a problem for people who want to stay in town and eat dinner. It also prevents people from using
the trolley to go to one of the theaters on the highway for a show. Wolven suggested one way to help would be to have cards printed that show people where to park, when the trolleys run and how to call a taxi. Wolven said that the Downtown Network will have activities for children and families in Basin Park after the 4th of July Parade on Friday. The Party in the Park, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., will include a watermelon-seed spitting contest. The 4th of July Parade starts at 2 p.m. at the E.S. Post Office, Spring and Pine, and goes down Spring Street to Basin Park. Wolven reported that the Main Street Project subcommittee received the architect’s drawings for arched entrances to two of the concrete staircases connecting Main and Spring. The arches are part of the streetscape changes recommended by a Reimagine Main Street team. The design for the arches, originally conceived to resemble the entrance arch at Basin Park, had to be scaled back given the limited sidewalk space. The Eureka Springs Downtown Network received a certificate of accreditation from the National Main Street Program for 2013, the second year it has met the national program’s standards.
EUREKA SPRINGS – A special meeting hearing for Eureka Springs high school teacher Chad Martin has been scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 8, Martin told the Lovely County Citizen. M a r t i n ’s contract has not been renewed for next year. He has lived in Eureka Springs for 21 years and been teaching in the school Chad Martin system since 2006. Problems began with the arrival of new high school principal Kathryn Lavender in 2009, he said. Last year Martin filed an ethics complaint against Lavender, and two others also filed separate complaints, which the state dismissed. At the beginning of the school year, Martin was given a list of goals to accomplish, but he says he was given no funding to carry out programs and was expected to volunteer his time after school and during the summer with no stipends. Martin is challenging the assertion that the school music program has not improved under his direction. Martin is not the only teacher or staff
member who has said they felt targeted in the last four years. Three teachers and one staff member had hearings related to conflicts with Lavender. Martin’s hearing will be held at the school administration building at 147 Greenwood Hollow Road in Eureka Springs. He said he intends to make his hearing open to the public. Martin said on a local Internet bulletin board with regard to his hearing, “I would like you to think of this as the bigger issue of what the Eureka Springs public expects from their school system with regard to music education. This hearing is likely to be one of the bigger public discussions on this topic.... If there is one thing Eurekans are passionate about, it is the arts.” Asked for comment about the upcoming hearing, Lavender said, “I don’t have any comments.”

Hanging Out at the Hookah Lounge: Madam Medusa’s offers taste of exotic East By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com

A penchant for Persia has taken Marcy Whipkins to the Middle East and back. Originally from Missouri, Whipkins is a belly dancer and fire juggler who has performed all over the world, including the Muscat Festival in Oman, as part of the duo “Creative Flame.” She also owned and operated The Juggling Gypsy in Wilmington, N.C., the oldest hookah lounge in the state. Whipkins is now the owner of Madam Medusa’s, a hookah lounge that opened May 24 at 1 Center St., Suite C, off the stairway between Center and North Main. “I went from college professor to hookah purveyor,” she said. Whipkins, who has a master’s degree in theater, was teaching public speaking at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg when she decided to take a break. She was thinking of going back to North Carolina when she visited Eureka Springs on a whim and was “bitten by the Eureka bug.” “I was astounded that they didn’t have a hookah lounge,” she said. “My entrepreneurial side kicked in.” A hookah, or water pipe, is a device for smoking tobacco in which the smoke is passed through a water basin before inhalation. At Madam Medusa’s, people can choose Al Fakhr, Nakhla or the house blend for $12 to $15 a bowl. Called shi-sha, hookah tobacco is flavored by soaking it in fruit juice, molasses and honey. It has zero tar, a small amount of nicotine and is water filtered. Kimberley and John Yutsus, who own Calico Rock Coffee Co. and The Inner Sanctum Spa in Calico Rock, came in last Saturday with their son, Johsua, who was celebrating his 21st birthday. The family shared a pot of tea and a hookah, something Kimberley said she enjoys from time to time. “It doesn’t taste like a cigarette,” John said. “It’s more flavorful.” Michele Fishinghawk of Locust Grove, Okla., came in to have her palm read, one of the services Whipkins offers, along with

henna tattoos and hair wraps. Michele also convinced spouse David Fishinghawk and daughter Madison, 14, to let Whipkins read their palms. “She came really close on all three of us, about our lives and our personalities,” Michele said. “It was more accurate than I thought it would be.” Whipkins serves tea, Gypsy and French press coffee at the long wooden counter, which was moved from the Old Time Photo Studio that was in the same building. Hummus and grilled vegetable panini are also available. Whipkins plans to set up a small sound system and offer open mic nights with music, stand-up comedy and spoken word. Last Saturday, Mike H. gave a preview of spoken word by giving a dramatic recital of two poems from memory. “I’d love to get an improv group going,” Whipkins said. For part of her master’s thesis, Whipkins studied medieval theater, pageants and miracle plays, as well as the French Theater of Horror. She was particularly interested in
how street performers and troubadours kept traditional Roman comic theater characters alive through the Middle Ages. She would like to see if there is enough interest to have a regular theater group meet at the lounge. “There’s a lot of creative energy here, and a lot of arts that don’t have a platform,” she said. Whipkins plans to offer belly dancing classes on Wednesday nights at 6:30 p.m. The introductory class will be free, and subsequent classes $5. “I love sharing that knowledge with people,” she said. Madam Medusa’s is open Tuesday and Wednesday, 3 p.m. until midnight; Thursday, Friday and Saturday until 2 a.m. (BYOB starting at 4 p.m. for ages 21 and up) and Sunday, 3 p.m. to midnight. Entrance is on the staircase at 1 Center St. or up the stairs from North Main. Because it is licensed as a tobacco store, the lounge is open to ages 18 and up.

Ozark EMS to provide non-emergency service for Eureka Springs Hospital By Kathryn Lucariello
CCNhi@cox-internet.com
EUREKA SPRINGS – Those who have seen a new ambulance service driving around town should be pleased to learn that Eureka Springs Hospital has partnered with Ozark EMS to provide non-emergency transports. “This new service has helped keep Carroll County and city first responders free to do their jobs instead of shuttling patients between medical facilities in Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri,” hospital officials announced June 20. The service also has a “back fill” agreement with the City of Eureka Springs Fire/ EMS to provide emergency transport if needed in situations where city ambulances are not available. Not only does the Eureka Fire/EMS provide emergency care to city residents, but, through a contract with the Western Carroll County Ambulance District, to residents in the outlying areas of Grassy Knob, Holiday Island, Inspiration Point and Eureka Spring Rural. In March this year, Eureka Springs Mayor Morris Pate and Fire Chief Rhys Williams met with hospital officials to discuss the hospital contracting with a private provider for non-emergency transports between hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities because they were affecting availability of the city’s ambulances for emergency care. Questioned by city council at the time as to the effect on the city budget, as non-emergency transports were bringing in significant revenue, Pate told the council he made the decision as a city administrator. Williams said Ozark EMS’ bills for both non-emergency and emergency transport will be billed directly to the patient “just like we do” and do not impact WCCAD’s contract with the city. He said he expects “a little bit of revenue loss,” but that would be made up by saving costs on equipment maintenance and not having to call in third- and fourth-out ambulance crews as often to cover emer-

gencies when the city’s on-duty crews are doing non-emergency transports, especially on long-distance transports to Fayetteville, Rogers or other areas out of town. ESH CEO Chris Bariola said the hospital’s working relationship with OEMS has been “a great asset” to the community of Eureka Springs. “Not only does this partnership add to the availability of Emergency responders to the residents in need, it also has proven to decrease ESH’s transfer times for trauma patients that are received in the ER.” Bariola said the state goal of transferring trauma patients to a higher level of care
within two hours has been exceeded, with transfer times “below an hour in some instances. This could not have worked out better for the community and the hospital.” OEMS, headquartered in Calico Rock, is owned and operated by Leon and Kathy Cheatham. It was licensed for Advanced Life Support in April of this year. It dedicates two of its four ambulances to the hospital in Eureka Springs and have opened an office here. “The working relationship with Eureka Fire/EMS has been awesome,” Kathy said. “They have been very supportive of our role as new service to the area.” Williams said that in the event OEMS is needed for emergency transport, especially in outlying areas such as Holiday Island, they do understand the situation with those residents who have memberships with Air Evac and will also honor patient choice of hospital, provided it is not life-threatening. In that case, patients are transported to the nearest appropriate facility for emergency care, in consultation with the local emergency room doctor on duty or medical director.
EUREKA SPRINGS – In a brief special meeting June 26, the Eureka Springs School Board returned from executive session to announce new hires and a raise for Superintendent David Kellogg. The board approved the hire of Shannon SigDavid Kellog mon Means and Kathy Manus to teach English at the high school and Molly Rothert to teach at the elementary school. The board also approved a $5,000 raise for Kellogg, bringing his annual salary from $94,000 to $99,000, effective July 1. Kellogg was hired one year ago to replace Curtis Turner, who resigned.

Guest Commentary
T
APSC can still do the right thing
he plan for SWEPCO’s transmission line was put firmly in place in early 2008 – well over 2,000 days ago. APSC commissioners knew of the plan at that time. Since then, they have been privy to the details of SWEPCO’s proposal and the challenges to that proposal for at least 365 days. Even so, they gave themselves another 90 days to decide whether or not to grant rehearings to AEP/SWEPCO and Save the Ozarks. What did we landowners get from the APSC? We got 30 days! The APSC gave us 30 days from the day we got our SWEPCO letters of notification. Thirty days to figure out what SWEPCO was planning to do and what we would have to do to defend our land and our way of life. Thirty days to warn our neighbors who were not notified, face the jaw-dropping cost of defending ourselves, find and hire a legal team capable of standing up to the army of attorneys representing SWEPCO and their allies, and participate in our own defense. Thirty days! Is that a joke? Damned unfair? Or just plain illegal? Arkansas State Law, § 23-18-502, says “… there should be provided an adequate opportunity for individuals, groups interested in energy and resource conservation and the protection of the environment, state and
regional agencies, local governments, and other public bodies to participate in timely fashion in decisions regarding the location, financing, construction, and operation of major utility facilities.” Do the Commissioners honestly see 30 days as providing “an adequate opportunity … to participate in timely fashion in decisions” about SWEPCO’s proposed 50-mile, 345 kV transmission line and large new substation on the banks of the Kings River? Or does the APSC — an agency that, like most if not all other state agencies in Arkansas, makes its own rules and operates with little or no oversight by the governor or legislature — carefully craft rules that give lip service to the law while making it impossible for ordinary landowners to take part in decisions about their own land? The APSC would have denied and dismissed SWEPCO’s proposal many months ago if the APSC staff had done its job and the APSC had honored both the intent and the letter of A.C.A. § 23-18-502 and other relevant state laws. The Commissioners still have an opportunity to do the right thing. They can toss out SWEPCO’s application with the rest of the trash now. Pat Costner, Director Save the Ozarks

Citizen of the Week
Kathy Weaver, staff horticulturist for the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa, has been with the hotel for nine years in July. In the summer, Kathy starts her day at 5:30 a.m. to beat the heat. Her assistant joins her later in the morning. Nominated by Bill Ott, the hotel’s marketing and communications director, Weaver is responsible for the sculpting of the formal garden areas of the hotel, including the C & H on the East Lawn, as well as maintaining the overall appearance of the hotel’s 15 acres. “Kathy works in tandem with the hotel sales department so she will know when a garden wedding
is planned, allowing her to make sure the grass is cut, the dead flowers are removed and the fountains are bubbling,” Ott said. When asked what her favorite part of the job is, she replies with a laugh: “mowing and weed-eating.” “Seriously, it is when a bride and her family make it known how much they appreciated the Crescent’s lovely garden as the setting for their dream wedding come true,” Kathy says. For creating a beautiful setting for the queen of Eureka’s historic hotels, Kathy Weaver is our Lovely County Citizen of the Week.

I think it needs to be done, but maybe it can be less costly.
No, there are a lot of other things to do before that, for instance, making the city more handicapped accessible.
“New Quilt Shop Girl”
“Crystal Whisperer”
Mark Hicks
“Tradewinds Guy” Yes. I think we need a garage, if it’d bring more tourists into town.
Lom Hanson
“Lom the Clown”
No, shuttles would be better. Don’t mess up the look of the town.
Rich Hudson Jerry B.
“Line Cook”
Yes it’d be nice. Parking is not good in this town.
“Furniture Maker”
Yes, if grant money is used. I think it would help tourism.
Citizen Survey
Wearing a hat fit for the horse racing scene in “My Fair Lady,” I was sitting in The Aud watching the film when I noticed across the aisle Enid Schwartz wrapped in an embrace reminiscent of high school with her husband, Carl, of close to 50 years. Enid is a regular submitter to “Letters to the Editor” pinpointing yet another fixable problem in Eureka Springs and many times with the perfect solution. Last week, it was about showing up and supporting The Sunday Classic Cinema. Imagine coming out for a family / tourist-friendly event that only costs $3, and sadly there’s plenty of parking cause the crowds aren’t there yet. If we are really going to use our imagination, how about doing it Charlotte’s way. So many lessons had to be learned over what happened with the Outdoor Cinema, and one of my biggest regrets was how it played out with hurt feelings and memories and many still holding grudges. The next classic film showing at The Aud on Sunday night is “Annie,” for which the play has been done here several times. I would love to see a costume, singing and acting contest here in our talented town. It may just be the start for someone’s dreams, like it was for Missy Crider. And maybe the start of healing one of the many wounds of this town. P.S. When leaving, I heard Enid telling the story

Lawyers, judges deserve some blame “What’s wrong with the women?” Bob Grudek asks. I ask, “What is wrong with the lawyers and judges?” While Sheriff Grudek asked this unfortunate rhetorical question, I can understand to some extent why he did. Like he, I too moved to this area from “someplace else.” Domestic violence was not problematic in my middle class suburban area. I suppose it was not in his region as well. Arkansas tops the list, with more domestic violence cases than any other state. The Natural State also is 4th in the nation in reported domestic violence incidents, and is in the top three states for domestic violence homicides. Domestic violence is not an isolated, individual event, but rather a pattern of perpetrator behaviors used against a victim. Be that as it may, Sheriff Grudek’s office has done its job.

Follow the Monkey: The Organ Grinder Comes to Town
By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
If you’re looking for something to happen in Eureka Springs, follow the monkey. Last Wednesday morning, Scott Moye unloaded his car in front of Basin Park Hotel. Out of the car came a bright red box with the words “Circus” on the front and a stuffed toy monkey attached. Wheeling the box to Basin Park, Moye returned to the car and unloaded a wooden box, which he put on top of the first one. Setting a battered hat on the pavement, he proceeded to turn the handle on the top box and literally crank out a few tunes. “I can only play this for about an hour,” he said. “It’s pretty strenuous.” A musician from Little Rock, Moye is a street organist, the term he prefers to organ grinder. He also plays traditional Irish music on the button accordion, but got the crank organ a couple of years ago because he likes the sound. “They used to use them back in the 19th century at fairs, carnivals and sideshows,” he said. “Some street organists walked around, but this one is too heavy.” Moye was visiting Eureka Springs for several days, staying at the Crescent Hotel. Carrying the crank organ to the car, he met Elise Roenigk, the hotel’s owner. Roenigk asked “Is that a crank organ?” something few people would recognize, Moye said. Roenigk also owns the Gavioli Chapel, named for the carnival organ installed there, one of a family collection. She encouraged him
to play in Basin Park while he was in Eureka, so Moye checked it out with local authorities. On Tuesday night, he took the crank organ downtown to see what the acoustics were like in the park. “Several people came by,” he said. “It was kind of a party.” According to his Facebook page, Drumthrower Crank Organ Music, Moye plays at street festivals, film festivals and farmer’s markets. The crank organ provides background music, draws attention and adds a note of nostalgia to events. “Many adults want to know how it works, where it was made, how the music is arranged, “ Moye explains on his Facebook page. Moye’s street organ was made in Springfield, Mo., to 19th century specifications by Jay Caughron of Turn in Time Music. Suitable for outdoor venues, it operates by turning the crank, which operates the bellows, which pump air into the pipes. The music, which comes in small rolls like a player piano, are tunes that evoke memories for people who grew up in pre-computer days. “It’s usually adults taking pictures and videos, waltzing or smiling,” Moye says on Facebook. “Many relate stories to me about riding carousels as children or seeing the instruments on streets in Europe or hearing one at a circus.” Moye had to go back to Little Rock on Wednesday Photo by Jennifer Jackson afternoon, but plans to return to Eureka to visit Gavioli Scott Moye set up his crank organ in Basin Park last Chapel and turn some tunes in the park. The monkey week and entertained passersby with old carnival and circus tunes. comes along for the ride.
ESFD offers new classes for firefighters Eureka Springs Fire and EMS is scheduled to offer new classes for firefighters in the upcoming months. Arkansas requires firefighters to take three classes, and according to ESFD Public Information Officer Randy Ates, “those classes are few and far between.” As a result, he explained, the department decided to host two of the three classes at one of its stations. ESFD is inviting neighboring departments to send people in to take the classes as well. In August, the department will host its new and revised Introduction to Firefighting class, which is an Arkansas Fire Academy class. It will be held at Station No. 1’s

Locals, bikers work together
Photos by Chip Ford
The Chamber of Commerce was contacted by a motorcycle club, America’s Guardians, for advice on their visit to Eureka Springs. Chamber officials suggested the large group park at Community First parking lot and they graciously agreed. When Dick Titus heard about this he felt it was a good time for the citizen group Respect Eureka to get involved. Members of Respect and locals met the bikers and offered ice water and thanks for parking away from the downtown canyons. Michelle McDonald, owner of Eureka Van Tours, and others shuttled bikers downtown and back. It was a positive experience for everyone. Respect Eureka’s mission is to better the living environment of residents. A membership meeting will be held July 15 at the library annex. For more information Like the group on Facebook. A special thanks goes out to those who helped – Michelle McDonald, Rick Feutz, Lori Menichetti, Dick Titus, Judy Montgomery, Steve Beacham, June Easton, Toni Rose, Chip Ford and Gwen Etheredge.

Eureka makes advances on new fire station By Hanna Davis
ReporterHanna@gmail.com
The seventh Eureka Springs fire station is expected to be completed by early August, according to ESFD Public Information Officer Randy Ates. “The construction is going excellently. We’ve got the walls and the doors up, and we’re working on the interior,” Ates said. “This week has been mainly electrical: installing light switches, hooking up the wiring for garage door openers, and making sure all the lights are installed properly. We’re also getting a propane tank installed. We’re trying to think ahead and we hope to install a propane power generator for power outages and emergency situations.” The station will serve the Hillspeak/ Highway 23 South area, filling the gap between the Eureka Springs city limits and the Madison County line. It will be located on Highway 23 South about a mile from Eureka Springs. It is on the west side of the road in the big curve just north of Hillspeak Road. The station is a project of the Eureka Springs Rural Fire Association and will be paid for by rural fire dues, which are paid by property owners in the rural fire

district in the place of a fire tax. The cost of the new facility is $54,081, Ates said, but that doesn’t include other items like the parking lot. Construction is being funded by a $110,000 loan from Community First Bank. That loan will be repaid with money from the rural fire dues, which amount to about $45,000 a year. The note on the loan is for 10 years. The department hired a construction company, Floyd’s Construction, to erect the building. However, much of the labor, groundwork and construction are being
New fire chaplain joins ESFD By Hanna Davis
ReporterHanna@gmail.com
Gary Martin has been appointed the new fire chaplain for Eureka Springs Fire & EMS. He was voted in as the department’s official chaplain at the beginning of June. The department has had a fire chaplain in the past, but has Gary Martin been lacking one for several years, according to Martin.
He explained that a couple of months ago, there was a fatality accident involving a child, and he was called in to do a debriefing. The debriefing prompted the fire department to hire Martin as its fire chaplain. “I’m pretty much here to support the firefighters, through counseling, crisis intervention, [and more]. I’m here to be someone the firefighters can talk to about anything they want to discuss, not necessarily just religious topics,” Martin said. Martin has 28 years of experience in firefighting and EMS, and has been a fire chaplain for about two and a half years, he said. He is a licensed minister and a certified fire chaplain by the Arkansas Baptist State Convention.
donated by local businesses and volunteers, including several firefighters who have construction experience and are coordinating the project under the direction of Chief Rhys Williams, Ates said. “As much as we could, we had volunteers come help out with the project. That helped save on expenses,” Ates said. The rural fire association already has two fire stations: one on Rock House Road in the Winona community and the other on Buck Mountain Road near several large lakeside neighborhoods. ESFD also has four stations inside the city limits. The Eureka Springs Rural Fire Association is the branch of the ESFD responsible for firefighting, rescue and EMS first response outside of the city limits. The firefighters and responders are volunteers who respond to emergencies from home
and from work. The new station already has eight firefighters/responders who live within two miles of the building site. The Hillspeak/Hwy. 23 South fire station is being built on a 3.5-acre lot, which is considered a prime piece of property for the fire department, because of its highway frontage, proximity to town, closeness to the Hillspeak neighborhood and general ease of access. The new station will contain four garage bays that will house a fire engine, tanker and brush trucks, all of which already have been paid for or are being paid for now with rural fire dues. Short-term plans call for the placement of a permanent helipad for rescue and medical helicopters. Long-term plans call for the addition of storage rooms, office space, a meeting room and bathrooms.

Our column this week from the Village Writing School family is by Jessie Rex. While Jessie handles many administrative duties here, her greatest contribution is the way she brightens up the place with her wisdom and joy.
Honoring Your “Soul” Purpose
“A
s writers we live life twice, like a cow that eats its food once and then regurgitates it to chew and digest it again. We have a second chance at biting into our experience and examining it. ...This is our life and it’s not going to last forever. There isn’t time to talk about someday writing that short story or poem or novel. Slow down now, touch what is around you, and out of care and compassion for each moment and detail, put pen to paper and begin to write.” Natalie Goldberg Sometimes, it takes us a long time to discover what we really want to do in life. And, sometimes, we enter a new phase of life and discover that we want something more. Helping people to find their authentic passion and to set a path to pursue that passion is a lot of what I do as a life coach. Ironically, I’m only now able to pursue my two great passions. When I was ten years old, we had to create our own books. We wrote our story, illustrated it, and made the book cover. I still have this book entitled The Day the Sun Went Away. It was about a small town who had never heard of a solar eclipse and panicked until they understood it. My book received rave reviews among my peers. I was officially hooked on writing. Winning a national writing contest as a teenager fueled my love for writing stories. After moving to the Ozarks, I wrote a monthly article for the Eagle Rock, Missouri newsletter. My section was entitled, “The Adventures of Aver-
age Mom.” But it was only a few years ago that I decided to get serious and started doing some research for a book that had been brewing in my mind for a long time. It was time for me to stop saying “someday” as Natalie put it and to know that I only have so much time in this one life to do what I love. So, I pestered everyone I knew--including a few strangers--to tell me about their relationships. During this research, it became clear to me that I wanted to be a life coach. To help with my writing, I attended several workshops taught by Alison Taylor-Brown, and they were extremely helpful. Once I took the time to get serious about my writing, I knew I had found my “soul” purpose. I am currently working on a book for my life coaching and thrilled to be the newest addition to the Village Writing School where I will be assisting Alison with social media, the website, workshops, and events. I’m enthusiastic about joining the writing school at this exciting time, as they continue to grow and expand. It’s a privilege to be a part of something that helps other’s dreams come alive on paper and in the digital world. Your goal and journey is important to me. I feel blessed to be able to combine my two greatest career passions, life coaching and writing. “…touch what is around you...” What is the passion that you want to bring to life so you can touch the lives of others and experience your own more fully?
Jessie Rex is a certified Master Life Coach and Assistant to the Director at the Village Writing School. After homeschooling four boys, Jessie reinvented her life, following her passion into life coaching. She’s working hard on her book, Four Seasons to a Fabulous Life, and already planning her next book. She takes private clients and will be happy to help you find and fulfill your “soul” purpose.

Calendar of Events Now through Aug. 29: MFA students featured at U of A
The University of Arkansas Fine Arts Center Gallery is hosting a group exhibition of MFA students through August 29. The exhibition will present work in a wide range of media including painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture and video. A closing reception will occur on Thursday, August 28 at 5:00 p.m. Exhibiting arists include Lindsy Barquist, Wilson Borja, Ashley Byers, Jon Cromer, Drew Divilbiss, Chris Drobnock, Bryanna Jaramillo, Jon McDaniel, Aimee Odum, Todd Pentico, Cambry Pierce, Laura Polaski, and Elena Volkova.

Now through Sept. 1: Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie at Crystal Bridges
Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie is now on view at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art through September 1. The exhibition explores the renowned architect’s structures and the philosophy that shapes them. Featured in the exhibition are more than 100 objects, including drawings, sketches, videos, photographs and scale models, which will be on display at Crystal Bridges during the summer of 2014. The exhibition surveys Safdie’s career from his formative period in the 1960s and early 1970s to his more recent projects around the world, exploring his masterful use of light and geometry and his inspired architectural conversation with the history and landscape of each site. Global Citizen examines Safdie’s architecture not only as visual art but as a medium for advancing social, political and cultural goals. Safdie’s designs exemplify “progressive contextualism”- a way of thinking globally about building. His works combine the social activism and advanced technologies of modernism with a profound respect for historical and regional context.
Now through Sept. 15: American Encounters: Anglo-American Portraiture in an Era of Revolution
The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art has unveiled American Encounters: Anglo-American Portraiture in an Era of Revolution, the third in a four-part series of exhibitions created in partnership with the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Crystal Bridges, and the Terra Foundation for American Art, Chicago. This exhibition provides a close look at five portraits that demonstrate how American and European portraitists influenced one another’s styles in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The works will be on view through Sept. 15, 2014. There is no fee to view the exhibition.

Former Hospital Guild president passes By Kathryn Lucariello
CCNhi@cox-internet.com
EUREKA SPRINGS – Former Eureka Springs Hospital Guild member and president Juana Lloyd passed away in late May with family by her side in Silver City, N.M., after a prolonged illness. She is remembered by friends and fellow volunteers as being very caring and hospitable. Juana Lloyd, nee Juana Leta Tesson, daughter of Dr. James A. and Ruth Knappenberger Tesson, was born September 5, 1925. She passed away on May 21, 2014 at the age of 88. Born in Kansas City, Mo., Juana graduated from Southwest High School and attended the University of Missouri-Kansas City and MacMurray College in Illinois. During World War II, she served as a member of the Civil Air Patrol. In 1947, Juana married Joseph P. Lloyd, physics graduate and the “boy next door”.
They had three daughters — Diana and Linda, born in Kansas City, and Cynthia (CJ), born after their move to Houston, Texas. While the girls were in grade school, Juana studied physical therapy at the Hermann Hospital School of Physical TheraJuana Lloyd py. She obtained her license at a time when physical therapy was considered a man’s profession. During her career, she was appointed head of the Physical Therapy Department at Ben Taub Hospital in Houston and was twice elected president of the Southeast Chapter of the Texas P.T. As-
sociation. Their three daughters attended college in Texas, each earning bachelor’s degrees. From Central Methodist Church in Kansas City, Juana joined the Church of the Epiphany in Houston. Active in the church, she there led the teen youth group. Juana was an advocate for civil rights, women’s rights, racial equality and gay rights. A lifelong animal lover, she had many pets, including dogs and cats, skunk, raccoon, rabbit and birds. Juana, Joe and the girls enjoyed a year living in the Netherlands in 196768 and camping throughout western Europe. Juana loved traveling, and later she and Joe traveled extensively to Hawaii, Alaska, Russia, Tahiti, Europe, and New Zealand. They chose to retire in the Ozark Mountains, the area where Juana had often vacationed as a child, and where she and Joe spent their honeymoon. They built a new home in Eureka Springs, on 50 wooded acres overlooking Beaver Lake, and there enjoyed rural living and entertaining friends for 27 years. Neighbor Arn Merbitz remembers Lloyd’s parties. “We first met them when we were living on Beaver Lake and saw this place going up across the lake and got acquainted with the Lloyds,” he said. “She was always ready to help, very hospitable and always put on lovely parties on holidays. She was always ready to welcome anyone new.” “She welcomed everyone and fixed
something for new people in her neighborhood in Hillspeak and on County Roads 102 and 104,” said daughter Dee Cruzan. Juana volunteered at Eureka Springs Hospital, and was elected president of the Eureka Springs Hospital Volunteer Guild, where she originated their annual Mardis Gras fund-raiser. Cruzan said Lloyd was instrumental in having her husband build the altar in the chapel at the hospital. She also served as a Hospice volunteer. Fellow Guild volunteer Marge Schoenhofer said Lloyd gave manicures to hospital patients. “She was just always willing to help,” she said. Juana suffered from dementia in her later years, and in 2004 her daughter Dee and Dee’s husband, Roger Cruzan, moved in to help with care. In 2013, the four moved to Silver City, N.M., near Juana’s grandson, James. Juana is survived by her husband of 67 years, daughters Diana (Dee) Cruzan and husband, Roger of Silver City; daughter Linda Lloyd and husband Lewis Lanier of San Francisco; Cynthia (CJ) Lloyd and wife, Melanie Yackel, of Houston; grandson, James Cruzan of Silver City; sister Ruth Jacobs and husband, Joe, of Bend, Ore.; and two nephews, Steve Jacobs of Denver, Colo. and Randy Jacobs of Bend, Ore. A family memorial will be held at a later date.

The Natural Way Words hold true after 15 years
T
his fall will mark my 15th year with the Citizen. Here is an exJim Fain cerpt from the very first Natural Way column. “What an exciting time it is in which we live. Just as I sit to write this first column on The Natural Way, I become aware of the awe typifying any new venture. What happens next now that I am aware of the awe depends upon many things. What do I do with this excitement? Do I get anxious and squash the new venture by naysaying or exclaiming, “I tried that 10 years ago and it didn’t work!” (controlling as a defense against anxiety) or do I muster my courage and engage this new thing? Am I sufficiently supported by the people around me? Am I really and truly supportive of myself? Do I have a strong enough sense that there is something greater than me (faith)? What I do and how I go about doing it now, not only determines my impact on those around me (external world) but also on my internal world. What I’m describing is how community health (those around me) and personal health (my internal world) is connected to my emotions and actions. When I can easily shuttle between my community and internal world, life is terrific. A Naturopath will look at a person’s ailment as a natural interruption in life. Why now? What is happening in this person’s life so that illness is present? An interruption in life isn’t necessarily a bad thing to be cured. Until the person is open and ready to regain health, well-being is rare, more illness usually occurs. A Naturopath will spend time — getting to know the human being in front of them. From getting to know them, the next step is to gently bolster the person’s emotional state and immune system. A person’s immune system and their emotions are intimately linked. Hope and faith are very important elements of emotional health. When a person is enjoying good emotional health, the immune system usually responds in kind, helping the person to get past the ailment. Getting past the ailment doesn’t necessarily mean cure; it could mean adjusting so that life becomes full and rich even though there is an ailment, serious or simple. Healing includes letting go of whatever was being held in place and an open attitude to the excitement and awe of life in a new way. Illness often wakes us up and says, ‘Come on — get with it. Life isn’t guaranteed; find a way to enjoy the awe of life as it is, now!’ “ Good reminders, I think, that being human is the same now as it was then and that the importance of life is to fully engage ... as a human being.
Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: Opportunity won’t knock for you, but it will pull into the driveway and honk the horn. Be ready to jump at a moment’s notice, because it wants to beat the traffic and make good time. TAURUS: Wise men say you can discover the whole world in a grain of sand, but you’ll have to work up to that. Find your butt with both hands first, and you can dig some sand out of your swim trunks to study. GEMINI: What you’re going through isn’t easy, so feel free to pull the emergency stop when needed. The world can go on without you on occasion, and it’s fun to watch people faceplant against the glass. CANCER: To thine own self be true, but feel free to fib it up with your co-workers. Corporate picnics are far more exciting if half the office thinks you’re a secret agent working undercover. LEO: If progress goes too fast, it usually clips a few pedestrians on the sidewalk. Be patient, because slower speeds mean fewer dash-cam lawsuits. VIRGO: True, the heart wants what it wants, but sometimes it has to be slapped on the hands and told “no.” You’re heading toward a relationship like a toddler with his finger pointed toward a light socket. LIBRA: Quality floats to the top, but so do dead fish. Make sure you know the difference before you skim that net across the surface, or something foul may stink up your boat. SCORPIO: Some days you feel like a kite caught in a tree. Sure, the world is holding you back, but that’s just so you don’t float off and get sucked up into a jet engine.

his weekend brings a lot of familiar names on the entertainment schedule, but also will offer some sounds newer to Eureka Springs. Following are my recommendations for the best live music in Eureka this weekend. Have a safe and happy Fourth of July! FRIDAY First, Cutty Rye, based in Fayetteville, performs at Cathouse/Pied Piper Pub from 8 p.m. to midnight on Friday. They’re regulars in their neck of the woods but don’t get over to Eureka often enough in my opinion, having played here just a few times so far. “Cutty Rye is a four-piece band of seriously off-the-wall bluegrass aficionados,” writes Peter Read of Nightflying magazine. “I suspect they can whip the room into a whooping frenzy with their bouncy, almost frantic approach to overall fun music. “Thing is, their musical art seems to be a home-brewed concoction that includes
by Kristal Kuykendall
elements from traditional bluegrass, classic rock-n-roll, blues, and even jazz in places. Their first album ‘Half Pack of Chesterfields’ is a spirited set of rockin’, stompin’, bluegrass tunes guaranteed to get you out of your seat and onto the dance floor.” Cathouse/Pied Piper is located at 82 Armstrong St., 479-363-9976. SATURDAY On Saturday night, a new-to-us Americana/roots-rock band is coming to town, and it’s one that’s garnering lots of critical praise lately all over the South. Matt Reeves grew up in Arkansas in a family of entertainers, so his music is a deeply rooted blend of Southern genres. Today’s Country Magazine writes: “Matt’s Elvis Presley meets Johnny Cash look meant only one thing. You guessed it, this guy was all about old rock-a-billy blended country and he displayed it right from the get go.” Matt is currently splitting his time be-

Reeves on Bass, they have performed at venues all over the United States, Including the Golden Nugget (Pahrump, Nev.), Don Laughlin’s Riverside Casino & Hotel (Laughlin, Nev.), The Mill Casino (Coos Bay, Ore.). One of Matt’s greatest achievements came in 2008, when he was in the “Colgate Country Showdown.” Competing with over 50,000 contestants, Matt Reeves won his way to be one of only five National Finalists and with that win came the great honor of performing on National Television at the legendary Ryman Auditorium, with LeAnn Rimes and Charlie McCoy. And with Glen Campbell and Jim Reeves as his cousins, Matt Reeves has legendary showmanship running in his blood. You will not find a better entertainer. One minute he’ll be performing an amazing guitar ride with his teeth, and the next he’ll be tearing out a mind blowing drum solo on wipeout. With a repertoire of over 400 Songs, Matt Reeves can entertain virtually any crowd before him. Reeves and the All Stars perform at Chelsea’s Saturday night around 9 p.m. Admission is $5 and it’s open to all ages. Chelsea’s is located at 10 Mountain St. Following is the complete entertainment schedule for Eureka Springs venues for the coming week: THURSDAY, JULY 3

Georgette Garner looks at one of the 20 Great Courses donated to the Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library in memory of her husband, John D. Garner.
Great Courses Come to Library
Twenty college-level courses on subjects ranging from astronomy to oenology have been donated to the Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library. Called Great Courses, the collection was purchased with funds from the John D. Garner Memorial Fund. It includes courses on Russian history, the Vikings, the Lost Worlds of South America, world religions and geologic wonders. Other courses offer an introduction to public speaking, story-telling and photography, guides to gourmet cooking, wine (oenology) and music, or cover world religions, human behavior and probability. Each course grew out of a college course on the subject and consists of two to 10 DVDs and a booklet.
Garner, who died in 2010, was retired from the U.S. Foreign Service. He served on the Carroll County Library Board and the Western District Ambulance Commission. He was also volunteer firefighter and president of the Grassy Knob Firefighters Association. Garner loved to read and travel and wished to leave a lasting legacy to area residents in the form of enduring library materials, according to Georgette Garner. Course packets check out for three weeks with the possibility of renewal. For titles, go to the catalogue on the library website (www. EurekaLibrary.org). The Eureka Springs Public Library is located at 194 Spring St. and is open seven days a week. See website for hours.

ber of occasions for domestic violence, along with other charges. There are far too many of you who are not paying attention to the whole story. “When Acuna-Sanchez appeared before Circuit Judge Marianne McBeth on Oct. 5, (2012) she set his bond at $15,000, with the stipulation that he could not bond out on credit and that, if released, he was to have no contact with Acevez or their infant son. Judge David Clinger allowed him to bond out on credit in November (2012), despite a previous ruling by Judge Marianne McBeth saying he should not be allowed to do so.” “Family members of Acevez said Acuna-Sanchez had terrorized her for two years. He was already charged with aggravated assault and third-degree battery in relation to two previous alleged attacks against her and had been arrested only three weeks before her death for allegedly violating a judge’s order to have no contact with her. Judge Scott Jackson allowed Acuna-Sanchez to be released the day after that last arrest, without having to post bail. But here is the kicker: Special Judge David Clinger has been appointed to hear both cases; “Judge Kent Crow recused himself because Acevez and Acuna-Sanchez had once been his tenants.” WAIT! Didn’t Judge David Clinger let Victor out of jail already against Judge McBeth’s order? And now you all just gave Scott Jackson a new job as Circuit Court Judge. So, there you have it. The law enforcement agencies did their job, but the judicial system? Seems to me, there are even more judges in this neck of the woods that hand out those “get out of jail cards” all too often. This practice must stop. The laws need to be changed. Contact Representative Bob Ballinger and Senator Bryan King and get this practice of judges letting criminals out of jail once and for all!

Holiday Island Fire Department Captain Billy Emmons quickly responds to a downed tree blocking Holiday Island Drive late Saturday evening. The massive tree snapped at its base and fell into the roadway, obstructing traffic until Emmons and another firefighter responded with chainsaws to clear it. The tree went down from high winds that a storm front blew into the area that evening.
