Fight against fluoride as deadline looms Protesters gather at water district to voice opposition

By Alana Cook

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

After trying every avenue to stop fluoride from being added to their water, several residents of Eureka Springs and Carroll County have set up a camp at Carroll Boone Water District to protest against fluoridation, which is set to begin July 15. During last weekend’s July 4 parade in Eureka Springs, protesters in dental masks marched holding signs that read, “Freedom from Fluoride,” and “we the people vote no.” On July 4, protesters also created a Facebook group called Camp Clean Water, asking those who oppose the impending fluoride deadline to gather and protest peacefully at CBWD. “We are just congregating (no overnight campers) out at the water treatment facility between now and the 15th to let them know that we disagree with the fluoridation scheduled to be added by July 15th,” the Facebook post says. “The more who come and participate the better. If you are one of many who voted NOT to have fluoride added to the water supply, you should be there with a sign that says so.” Jasmine Stanley and Luis Contreras are among several residents who gathered at the site last Saturday after the parade. On Tuesday, Contreras emailed Dr. Nate Smith, the director and state health officer of the Arkansas Department of Health, asking for a 60-day moratorium on the July 15 date to allow residents and Secure Arkan-

sas more time to act. In the email, Contreras cited the lack of testing on “aging distribution lead and steel water pipes with lead joints,” and said that “only 0.5 percent of the treated water is used to prevent cavities,” indicating that there is no need for fluoride to be added to the water supply. “My concerns are not only with fluoride but lead, bottled water and overweight kids,” Contreras said in the email. In 2011, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe signed Act 197 into law mandating

fluoridation for water systems supplying 5,000 people or more. Delta Dental of Arkansas, a 501c4, and Delta Dental Foundation, a 501c3, helped with funding for fluoridation equipment at the CBWD plant. Gov. Asa Hutchinson said he doesn’t think lawmakers will change their mind about fluoridation anytime soon. “This issue was adopted by the legislature prior to my election as Governor. As Governor, I generally support more local control, but I do not believe there is a consensus in the legislature to change from the

status quo,” he said in an email to the Citizen. “The debate will continue and the health benefit and impact will continue to be reviewed.” Fluoridation will begin July 15 despite a final recommendation released in April by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommending the optimal fluoride level in drinking water be significantly lowered because “Americans now have access to more sources of fluoride.” The fight against fluoridation is proving to be an uphill battle for the citizens of Eureka Springs and Carroll County but with the help of Secure Arkansas, they are vowing to continue the fight. “Secure Arkansas is filing a lawsuit against whomever it is that doesn’t have governmental immunity in the next couple of weeks hopefully,” said Secure Arkansas’ Crystal Harvey. “The people of Eureka Springs are not going to stop. They will hound it until you can’t hound it anymore. Even if they turn the fluoride on July 15, the people won’t give up. And when they win the battle, it will be interesting if fluoridation continues because Carroll-Boone doesn’t want to pay back Delta Dental its money.” Jim Yates, the board chairman for CBWD, said the water district’s “hands are tied” because it has to comply with the law.” “If there are people who don’t want fluoride in water, they need to address the people who required the district to put fluoride in water,” he said.

Eureka Springs house stands True to its steep history A home that is steeped in Eureka Springs and U.S. history has been restored to its former glory, and is ready for a new owner to see her through the next phase of Eureka’s unique history. Like a classic novel, the True House has withstood the test of time. The Eastlake Victorian home has survived the Great Depression, World Wars I and II and the demands of an ever-changing Eureka Springs and southern culture. Three years ago, Katherine Green, who was the first woman mayor of Eureka Springs, and her son Frank, bought the home and Frank worked hard restoring it to its former glory. The following year, the home was featured by the Eureka Springs Preservation Society’s Christmas Tour of Homes and the Greens were awarded the 2013 Preservation Society award for their work restoring the Mountain Street home. Now in her golden years, Katherine stands on the home’s back steps and smiles as she recalls with precision her time during the early 1960s as a Eureka Springs socialite, attending the Barefoot Ball and hobnobbing with tourists and locals. “I knew everyone back then. We had a lot of fun,” she said. Frank, who restored much of the home himself, gives a narrative of the home’s rich history as he goes through each room. “Niles L. Wickwire, the general contractor for the Crescent Hotel, began building the home for Major J.W. True and his wife, Eliza Marshall True, on

March 23, 1886 using the same dolomite limestone that he used to construct the Crescent,” he said. Rich history The Trues settled in Eureka Springs during the time when all the great mansions of Eureka Springs were being erected and the True Home would be no exception. All along Spring Street and upper West Mountain Street, huge homes were being built by Eureka Springs’ wealthy movers and shakers known to locals during that time as “Silk Stockings.” J.W. True served in the Civil War as a major in the 54th Illinois Regiment Infantry and was the coachman for a young Republican running for an Illinois Senate seat by the name of Abraham Lincoln. It was during this time that J.W. met and fell in love with Eliza Marshall, who would become his wife. Eliza was born Dec. 2, 1841, in Charleston, Ill. , the only daughter of Lt. Governor Thomas A. Marshall and Ellen Miles Marshall. Lincoln and the Republican lieutenant governor were good friends and Lincoln stayed at the Marshall home while traveling through Illinois. On one such evening, Lincoln put his shoes out in the hall for the servants to shine and 18-year-old Eliza spotted them, put them on and walked up and down the hall, later telling folks she had walked in the president’s shoes. She and J.W. married on Jan. 8, 1862 in Charleston, Ill.

eral Clayton moved to Eureka Springs in 1882 and built his home on Sprint Street — known as the Crescent Cottage. Powell speculated in land as the president of the Eureka Springs Improvement Company, which encouraged the construction of the railroad to the city and the building of the Crescent Hotel, with Niles Wickwire as the general contractor, and he also participated in the construction of the city street railway. He was also head of the city board that developed the city water and sewer system. He was the first governor of Arkansas after the state was readmitted into the union.

In 1879, along with his family, he moved to Eureka Springs to begin a new adventure. Around this time, another prominent figure, Brigadier Gen. Powell Clayton, was headed to Eureka Springs.

U.S. Forest Service to hold another open meeting on Butler Hollow project U.S. Forest Service officials will hold another open meeting later this month to share additional alternatives to the proposed Butler Hollow restoration project, some of which could include reducing the scope of the project area from 18,000 to 10,000 acres. The ranger district originally proposed the project on 18,181 acres in Missouri’s Barry County to “address declining forest health, enhance native plant and wildlife communities, provide opportunities for timber products, and allow for improvements to the transportation system,” Ava-Cassville-Willow Springs District Ranger Joe Koloski said. For Arkansas and Missouri citizens who are concerned that the Butler Hollow project would leave most of the 18,000 acres of the Mark Twain National Forest barren, Koloski said new alternatives that will be proposed at the meeting might put some of those fears to rest. “We are still working with the public on trying to come up with viable alternatives for the project,” he said. “We want to design a project people can support.” Koloski said at the meeting he plans to discuss new alternatives to the project

which include non-commercial thinning based on the trees’ diameter, which would mean smaller and fewer trees that would be cut, as an alternative to the Forest Service’s original proposal which included a plan to thin the forest based on the trees’ density, which would mean cutting larger trees. Koloski said they will also address the public’s concerns about converting open fields in Butler Hollow back to hardwoods. “In the [new proposed] alternative three, the fields will remain as is,” he said. At the meeting, Forest Service officials will give an overview of the original scope of the project, and will give new alternatives that they are proposing based on comments they received from the public. The public is invited to attend the meeting which will be 7 p.m. Thursday, July 23 , in the Family Life Center, 200 East 5th St., Cassville, Mo. The proposed Butler Hollow project can be found at http://1.usa.gov/1emYTFZ. For more information about the Mark Twain National Forest, go to www.fs.usda.gov/mtnf.

Authorities say county had safe July 4 By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

Carroll County residents had a safe Fourth of July weekend. According to Carroll County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Maj. George Frye, deputies weren’t dispatched to any fireworks-related accidents. Representatives from the police departments in Green Forest, Berryville and Eureka Springs also reported no fireworks-related accidents. Eureka Springs Fire Chief Randy Ates said the fire department received only one fire call all weekend. That call, he said, wasn’t related to fireworks. He added that

there are no fireworks-related injuries in the department’s medical log. Ates attributed the lack of accidents to the wet weather in the county. “If it was a dry summer, we would have been busy, I’m sure,” Ates said. Frye said the fireworks shows throughout the county might have prevented some residents from experimenting with fireworks themselves. “I know we had numerous firework displays put on around the county and I think most people chose to enjoy those safely,” Frye said. “We were blessed with good weather and common sense.”

ES School Board hires interim superintendent By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

Less than a month after David Kellogg announced his resignation, the Eureka Springs School District has a new superintendent. The Eureka Springs School Board agreed to hire Bryan Pruitt as interim superintendent at a special called meeting Thursday, July 2. Pruitt started at 8 a.m. Monday. Board president Jason Morris said Pruitt had applied for the superintendent’s position a couple of years ago and was a strong candidate. In fact, Morris said, many staff members preferred Pruitt for the position. “He’s a really nice guy, a really student-oriented person. He’s good at all sorts of aspects of education,” Morris said. Though Pruitt is only an interim

superintendent, Morris said the board could choose to extend Pruitt’s yearlong contract next year. “We have the option to keep him at the end of this year or to look for another superintendent,” Morris said. Pruitt worked for nearly 30 years with the Bergman School District, most recently as a high school principal. He holds a bachelor’s degree in agricultural teacher education and a master’s degree in agriculture, both from the University of Arkansas. He receive his administrator’s certification from the University of Central Arkansas. Pruitt attended the Arkansas Rural Ed Association Summer Conference that began Monday and continued through Wednesday in Eureka Springs. He could not be reached for comment.

Support local arts

ver the long holiday weekend, I had a chance to enjoy Eureka Springs from a different viewpoint. I’ve been settling into my new apartment and getting back to my old hobbies — restoring old furniture and creating unique art pieces from items others have tossed in Alana Cook the trash — so I poked through a few of our antique stores to see what I could find. While I was on the hunt, bursts of inspiration came to me. I recalled memories of jumping in dumpsters with my mom, looking for things we could restore and make new. This practice now would surely beckon a call from local Child Protective Service Workers, but the mid-’80s was a time virtually free from computers, when children learned to take chances in the real world and learned from their real-world

mistakes. Sometimes, those mistakes could become works of art. So goes life. This exercise gave me a welcome rest from the daily grind of churning out stories and interviewing sources — and a renewed appreciation for arts. I began to wonder what local artists have to endure personally and professionally to craft good art and about how much work it takes to succeed. With new galleries like Paul Daniels Gallery and Al Hooks Gallery set to open soon along with several other galleries that have opened recently downtown, it could be a safe guess that Eureka Springs is in the midst of a renaissance that is being propelled by a new wave of talented artists, filmmakers and writers. “Eureka, the Art of Being,” which was screened recently at Crystal Bridges, is a great example. The city has been through peaks and valleys before. Growing an economy based on the arts takes time and people willing to financially back our artists and I believe our time has come. If you get a chance, get out and see what our local artists are doing. You might just be amazed and inspired.

As far as I know, there are not any problems so they must be covered equally under the law.

Hello, everyone. The fluoride is on its way. It is not in, but it is getting really close and we need to do something. Maybe you don’t realize that this fluoride is not like the fluoride of years ago. It is toxic waste that has nowhere else to go. It is being dumped on us without our consent. Many studies have been made and many articles have been written about the dangers of fluoride and its effects on the body, yet we are being made to ingest it. Even on the toothpaste tube we are told not to ingest the fluoride in the toothpaste. The Carroll Boone Water Board refuses to say no to the fluoride even though other water boards have asked for a delay and it has been granted for further research. The board says it is sympathetic to our feelings but is bound by law to have the fluoride put into the water. Who makes the laws? Are officials elected to serve us or not? Jim Yates is the head of the CBWB. His work phone is 870-741-8211, and his email is jimyates@windstream.net. We need to tell him how we feel. We have voted AGAINST FLUORIDE three times, and we have not been heard. We need to speak out! CHON AND JASMINE STANLEY

For those wishing a more complete explanation, please see “The Case Against Fluoride”, published in the “Lovely County Citizen” newspaper June 4, 2015. We simply follow the law. Here’s the process: 1) We the people recognize the state does not have the authority to overturn our citizen election not to fluoridate, much less mandate a mass “medication” of undetermined, and obviously highly questionable substances (treason and genocide). 2) The Carroll Boone Water District board is under no obligation to follow unconstitutional mandates, nor disobey state law ensuring safe substances being added, and takes no further action to fluoridate. 3) If the state were to prosecute the board for non-compliance, the board simply follows due process and demands a trial by jury. This brings the mater to be decided back to the local citizens’ hands, through the jury, being made up of citizens from the same state and district as the offense. The jury has an “unreviewable and unreversible power … to acquit in disregard of the instructions on the law given by the trial judge.” (U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. vs. Dougherty, 1972) 4) Only one juror need vote “not guilty” and the

The Natural Way Calcium is not bad for the heart

Studies show no correlation between calcium supplements and heart attacks. Jim Fain In the October 2013 edition of MedScape, an educational service for family practice doctors, a report was published that clears the safety of supplemental calcium. Two major studies clearly show there is no connection between supplementing with common calcium and heart attacks in men and women. These studies should assure readers that calcium supplements are safe. I never believed the reporting or the science — which set off a scare a few years ago — that supplemental calcium could cause harm. But some medical practitioners were uncomfortable in recommending calcium after a published study linked supplementation to an increase in heart disease. Be assured that even Dr. Oz, who is a cardiologist, saw the benefit of common calcium as long as it was taken properly. It looks like I was in good company. There is an uncommon type of calcium that will reduce the usual daily dosage and increase absorption by about 65 percent. Think about how that could change your bone density. From across the Pacific Ocean comes a medical article that says boldly, “There is a change in how we should supplement with calcium.” A second published article goes on to say there is a specialized calcium that increases bone mineral density, prevents fractures, appears to inhibit spinal deformity and decreases body fat content. This type of calcium is active absorbable algal calcium, or AAA calcium, commercially branded as AdvaCal, which is available in your supplement store. This special calcium is made by heating cleaned oyster shell to 800 degrees under reduced pressure and mixing it with similarly heated seaweed (Cystophyllum fusiforme). There likely is a link to the reduction of ailments due to aging (blood pressure, memory loss, hardening of the arteries, etc.) by increasing the absorption of calcium. This has to do with your parathyroid gland. The dose of this special calcium taken each day is less than ordinary calcium. With this type of calcium, the added nutrients magnesium, vitamins D, K and six others in AdvaCal is not the best type to take solely to build bones, prevent fractures or reduce body fat content but is a nice extra, especially vitamin K. Most people expect that vitamin D is required with calcium so Lane Medical adds it to make it easier to sell.

Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: You’re not paranoid if they’re really out to get you. Luckily, the only one throwing you shade this week is the dog, but you’ll be safe. Once he gets that cone of shame removed, however, watch your step. TAURUS: April rain brings May flowers, but July rain just means the ants are wearing life vests. Take your picnic indoors unless you want to be boarded by tiny pirates sailing the high seas of your lawn in a cereal box. GEMINI: A wise old man once said it’s better to be quiet and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. The man obviously wasn’t on Twitter. Keep some Purell nearby if you get your hands dirty smacking a few online trolls. CANCER: You’ve got more goosebumps than an exotic dancer with a cold pole. Could be something exciting heading your way, and it’s more than just a new g-string. LEO: Patience is a virtue, but it also makes a great helmet, a snazzy coat and a very fetching messenger bag. Make it your latest designer label, and you’ll get compliments every day. VIRGO: No one likes a sore loser, but a testy winner isn’t a lot of laughs, either. If you’re too cranky to play the game, retreat to your lair and read a good book. Your fellow players—and their shins—will thank you. LIBRA: The time for action is now, but where do you point it? Put on some clothes before you put someone’s eye out, and you’ll find yourself a sweetie soon enough. All the hotties love a sharp dressed you. SCORPIO: No one said life is easy, but you would at least expect all the knobs to be marked better. Remember, righty-tighty, lefty loosey works in almost any situation.

state is unreversibly held in check by a single heroic citizen, since trial by jury requires a unanimous vote. This is how “government by the consent of the governed” actually works. Government is powerless to enforce laws that the people do not wish to maintain, provided they are aware of their jury power. And that is it. (See the Fully Informed Jury Association, www.FIJA.org) We the people “nullified” fugitive slave laws, imminent domain foreclosure and alcohol prohibition, etc., and we can nullify sodium fluoride poisoning by the state of Arkansas (and any other “law” which does not serve the citizens, or is contrary to their good conscience). Use every opportunity you have to pass on this essential information about how

the citizens peaceably hold their government in check to the service of its citizens. P.S. We would be remiss not to follow the law further and root out the cause, and permanently remove the treasonous state officers who voted for, and maintain this monstrosity, as well as accepting bribes from Delta Dental as published in local newspapers, prosecuting Delta Dental as well. We throw out bad laws, and that’s in a hurry — when we follow our conscience in trial by jury the politicians and their pushers will be running for the fence — because treason in time of war is a capital offense. The Constitution is the tool for the citizen rule — but they won’t teach you that in a corporate public school. ERIC SCHEUNEMANN Eureka Springs
