School board rules against Martin

By Kathryn Lucariello CCNhi@cox-internet.com

EUREKA SPRINGS – Several students broke down in tears after the Eureka Springs School Board voted Tuesday night to accept Superintendent David Kellogg’s recommendation not to renew music teacher Chad Martin’s contract for next year. Upon the board’s adjournment, some adults called out “Shame on you!” to the grim-faced board members.

Absent from the hearing was board member Chris McClung.

The hearing began an hour late while waiting for the hearing officer to arrive and lasted a grueling five hours in a hot, closely packed room of more than 50 people, most of whom were Martin’s supporters.

Representing Martin were attorney Greg Alagood of the Mitchell Blackstock law firm in Little Rock and Chris Pearson, UniServ director of Zone 1 of the Arkansas Education Association. Little Rock attorney Sharon Streett represented the school board, and the proceedings were overseen by hearing officer attorney Paul Blume.

The school board was to vote individually on each of five reasons given by Kellogg for the non-renewal of Martin’s contract and then also overall on whether to accept, reject or modify the recommendation not to renew.

Board members had the option of rejecting Kellogg’s recommendation even if they found all five reasons true, Blume told them, but if they found all five untrue, they had to reject.

They found four of the reasons true.

The five reasons were the same as a list of goals and requirements given to Martin to accomplish at the beginning of the school year for the high school band: 1. conduct two concerts in the fall and three in the spring; 2. enter students in regional and all-regional auditions; 3. perform at 10 basketball games; 4. have every student perform a solo at an ensemble contest; and 5. teach students to sight-read music.

After hearing testimony, the school board found only No. 5 to be untrue, but were unanimous about the truth of the others except for No. 3, over which board member Sam Kirk dissented.

This year the band has only 14 students, a fact that school officials feel is an indication

Seated and waiting for his hearing to begin, Eureka Springs music teacher Chad Martin, left, is accompanied by his attorney, Greg Alagood, and Chris Pearson of the Arkansas Education Association. The crowded board room filled to overflowing with more than 50 people, most of whom were there to support Martin.

of a poor program.

Each side presented witnesses, with parent Perlinda Owens and her son, student Jeremiah Alvarado, as witnesses for Martin.

Arkansas Department of Education Learning Services and Play It Again, Arkansas! program advisor John Caldwell, retired Berryville school band teacher Jim Swiggart and high school principal Kathryn Lavender were witnesses for the school district.

Lavender testified that she had invited Caldwell, who had been a band director since 1977, and Arkansas School Band and Orchestra Association employee Julia Reynolds, to come here to assess the Eureka Springs School District’s band program and, she said, offer help to Martin to improve it and to prepare students for regional tryouts.

The two drew up a document, along with a calendar schedule, for him to follow.

Caldwell said that after a second visit, he had not seen a lot of improvement in the band from one year to the next, that there was a “lack of structure” in Martin’s routine and warmups. He also criticized the lack of sending students to regionals.

“If you’re going to have a credible band program, they must go to region assessment,” he said.

That assessment has been conducted by

ASBOA since 1929, he noted. But ASBOA is an independent organization, not associated with ADE and not an enforcement organization. ASBOA functions much like the Arkansas Athletic Association, which oversees school sports and other extracurricular activities.

Alagood questioned Caldwell, who said there are no state laws requiring school band programs to participate in ASBOA events.

Caldwell said the document he and Reynolds created for Martin was a matter of their opinion, not part of ADE requirements.

“These are formulated from years of experience watching good teachers who are successful,” Caldwell replied.

Lavender contended the minimum requirements for a band program were based on ASBOA requirements and in accordance with ADE requirements.

“If there are no assessments, no concerts, no regional assessments, no solo contest, how do you know if your students are improving?” she asked.

One main point of contention was Martin’s philosophical difference with ASBOA over whether all music students should audition for regionals.

He said the goal of all-regionals is to select the best 100 students in the state for an

all-regional band out of a pool of 10,000 students. He said that while auditioning for regionals is appropriate for some students, requiring every student to audition is demoralizing and discouraging for many who won’t make the cut and didn’t want to be there in the first place. He said that although he offered all of his students the opportunity to audition, there are only a few who have wanted to go. This year was an exception, and no one went because auditions are held in December and January, and winter storms closed school for 21 days.

“The auditions all have the same music.

Instead, I customize music for each student to work on their skills and improve,” Martin said. “Solo performances cover that nicely.”

He also added that students have performed in parades.

In fact, weather was a factor in not performing five concerts this year, he said.

As for performing at 10 basketball games, he said he was not able to find a location in the gym that would work, especially for percussion, and that his requests for a platform to put percussion on in the stands were ignored. Alvarado said the band “tried multiple ways to set up, including on bleachers and a landing. We couldn’t play together because it was all spread out. ... We asked multiple times for a platform, which we did not get.”

Lavender said there was no written requisition for a platform.

Asked his goals, Martin said they were to educate students and to give them a lifelong love of learning and playing music. Asked what he wants the band to accomplish, he replied, “Asking what the band is to accomplish is like asking an English teacher what you want the class to accomplish as a class.”

Asked if he felt the school district has the right to determine what its band program looks like, he said, “I was hired to determine what the program should be. I’m the expert on this. I asked the superintendent to sit down with me to find out what he wanted in a band program and received no response.

I took that to mean I was in charge.”

In their closing remarks, attorneys summed up the contention of each side.

Streett noted that although the district brought in professional help for Martin, he See Martin, page 10

Grudek says Huffington Post writer twisted his words

By Mike Ellis

Lovely County Citizen

A recent article on a prominent Internet site cast Sheriff Bob Grudek in a negative light, but he told Carroll County News the author completely misrepresented his views.

In an interview last week, the sheriff said a June 16 article on the Huffington Post website described him as blaming the victims of domestic violence.

He said no one who knows him would believe that.

Bob Grudek “I’ve lived here 14 years, eight of those years as sheriff,” Grudek said. “There should be some kind of history if I am that kind of person.”

To reach those who do not know him personally, Grudek requested this interview.

“I’m disappointed that some would form an opinion based on this story,” he said.

Melissa Jeltsen wrote about the murder of Laura Aceves on New Year’s Eve 2012.

Jeltsen said law enforcement and the judicial system failed to protect Aceves from her ex-boyfriend, Victor Acuna-Sanchez, whose abusive relationship with Aceves followed an all-too-familiar pattern.

Acuna-Sanchez is currently awaiting trial for murder, and his jury trial may proceed in October.

When Jeltsen called Grudek, he told her he couldn’t comment on the Acuna-Sanchez case, but he spent nearly three hours with her on the phone and in person, discussing domestic violence.

This passage from Jeltsen’s story brought Grudek instant notoriety: “The question you’re asking me is what’s wrong with the courts,” he said. “I’m asking you, what’s wrong with the women?”

The sheriff put that statement in context for Lovely County Citizen.

“The comment that I made was not to blame women, but to ask why they go back,” Grudek said, and he explained that he brought that up as part of the discussion of all the factors that contribute to the problem of domestic abuse.

“She clearly blamed law enforcement, and I said, ‘You want a simple solution to a complex problem,’” the sheriff said.

He explained that “fear, finances, or forgiveness” can make a woman return to an abusive situation, regardless of the best efforts of counselors or law enforcement.

Jeltsen wrote that Grudek “shared his perspective on the problem of domestic violence, which he said he formulated by watching Dr. Phil.”

The sheriff said this comment clearly demonstrates the author’s bias; he mentioned Dr. Phil while talking about all the ways people try to raise awareness of this issue. Grudek said he has had personal experience with domestic abuse, from an early age. His older sister remained too long in an abusive relationship with an alcoholic, and although she eventually divorced him, “It was sad to see the black eyes and bruises,” Grudek said.

The sheriff said he had received phone calls from across the country, chastising him for the comments in the article. He said once he explained his true feelings to the callers, they looked at him differently, and two women wrote emails to Jeltsen complaining about the way the article presented Grudek.

“If you really want to do something to help women, we need a shelter,” he said.

Communication between judges and law enforcement needs improvement, clearly, and that was a factor in Aceves’ death. Other areas of the country are developing systems to assess the danger in a particular situation, so that judges can set an appropriate bond.

Although Carroll County does not have a shelter, Grudek said victims of domestic abuse are treated “with utmost respect and sensitivity” here.

Proposed resolution celebrates marriage equality

Photo by Jennifer Jackson

Jennifer Rambo and Kristin Seaton of Fort Smith will be the guests of honor at the Married to Equality reception in August. Rambo and Seaton were the first same-sex couple to receive a marriage license in Arkansas, issued May 10 at the Carroll County Western Division Courthouse in Eureka Springs.

Married to Equality:

Locals Throw Reception for LGBT Newlyweds

By Jennifer Jackson

JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com

Last year, Bill King organized “Our Big Fat Gay Wedding” during Fall Diversity Weekend, with a rehearsal dinner, bachelor and bachelorette parties, a recitation of vows in the Basin Park band shell and a wedding procession up Spring Street to The Space, where a wedding reception was held.

This year, the reception is for real.

Billed as the “Married To Equality” reception, it will take place during Summer Diversity Weekend from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2, on the deck of Farm to Table Fresh Restaurant. Guests of honor: couples who were married in Arkansas during the brief window in May after a judge declared the state’s ban of same-sex marriage illegal. The ruling was announced late on Friday, May 9. Because the Carroll County Western District Courthouse in Eureka Springs is open for marriage licenses on Saturdays, it was flooded with license application requests.

The first couple to receive a license, Kristin Seaton and Jennifer Rambo of Fort Smith, will be special guests of honor at the Married to Equality reception, and also are receiving a free honeymoon weekend courtesy of Eureka businesses, including Heart of the Hills B & B, DeVito’s Italian Restaurant and Rogue’s Manor restaurant. Pond Mountain Retreat is providing accommodations for attorney Cheryl Maples, who along with Carroll County deputy clerk Jane Osborn will be a special guest of honor.

Michael Walsh of OutInEureka.com is organizing the Married to Equality reception with support from local businesses and organizations, which are donating flowers, gift certificates, gift baskets, hors d’oeuvres and wedding cakes. The reception is open to the public. Fresh Farm to Table restaurant is located at 179 N. Main.

For more information, go to the ‘Married to Equality’ wedding reception for LGBT newlyweds.

The following proposed resolution, co-sponsored by David Mitchell and Mickey Schneider, will be on the agenda for the Eureka Springs City Council’s next meeting on Monday, July 14.

“A RESOLUTION IN COMMEMORATION AND CELEBRATION OF MARRIAGE EQUALITY WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Eureka Springs, Arkansas was the first and only City Council in Arkansas: --- To officially endorse universal civil marriage for all otherwise qualified adult Arkansans and all Americans by adopting Resolution No. 608 (2012); and --- To enact the state’s first and only Domestic Partnership Ordinance, No. 2052 (2007); and — To provide access to health insurance for the Domestic Partners of City Workers (2011); and — To amend its equal employment opportunity policy prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation via Ordinance No. 2062 (2006); and WHEREAS, on May 10, 2014 Eureka

Springs became the first city in Carroll County, in all of Arkansas and in the entire Southern half of the United States in which same-sex couples were granted marriage licenses by the office of the County Clerk of Carroll County; and WHEREAS, commemorating that historic occasion with a pubic celebration is right and fitting for a city that places a premium on equality and recognizes “marriage is a powerful and important affirmation of love and commitment and a source of social support and recognition.”

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUREKA SPRINGS ARKANSAS, THAT: We congratulate all same-sex newlyweds licensed to marry and/or married in Eureka Springs and elsewhere throughout Arkansas on and after May 10, 2014 and welcome them, their friends and families to celebrate at the ‘Married To Equality’ reception in Eureka Springs on August 2, 2014.”

Rollover accident leaves deputy seriously injured

By Kathryn Lucariello

CCNhi@cox-internet.com

CARROLL COUNTY – A Carroll County deputy underwent surgery Monday at a Springfield, Mo., hospital with a broken shoulder and neck after a rollover accident north of Urbanette in the early hours of Monday morning.

Sheriff Bob Grudek said new deputy Jonathan Moran was responding at around 1 a.m. Monday as backup to a call from Deputy Shaun Helmlinger on a domestic dispute in Oak Grove. Responding from Urbanette, Moran was traveling east on State Highway 21 when he failed to negotiate a curve at the intersection of County Road 608 and rolled his vehicle.

“He went straight onto 608, and we don’t know what happened after that,” Grudek said. “That is a treacherous intersection.

If you’re not familiar with it, it looks like Highway 21 goes straight there, but actually it curves. I have wondered many times when driving through there how many people have gone straight instead of making the curve.”

He said that when Moran didn’t show up to the Oak Grove call, Helmlinger arrested a female and was transporting her to the county jail via Highway 21 when he saw Moran’s vehicle overturned on its roof.

Grudek said Moran was “very fortunate” he wasn’t killed and that Helmlinger found him.

“I don’t know if he would have made it if the deputy had not driven by at that time

of night,” Grudek said. “The cage we have for prisoners in the vehicle served as a roll bar and kept the vehicle from completely collapsing.”

Oak Grove Police Chief Jason Hunt confirmed there was no city law enforcement at the domestic call but would not say why. He said the city has a full-time officer (himself) and a reserve officer. He referred the newspaper to the sheriff’s office.

Grudek said he does not know why the Oak Grove police did not respond to the domestic dispute call.

“I don’t know where the police chief was, but since they were not able to get him, our deputies responded to the call,” the sheriff said.

The Oak Grove police department was established in January this year after concerned residents started a Neighborhood Watch program because of methamphetamine activity in the town, two unsolved murders and other related crimes, and their unhappiness with the sheriff department’s level of enforcement.

Grudek had offered to increase patrols but asked the town to pay $10,000 to $15,000 to help defray some of the cost.

Grudek said Moran was taken to Mercy Hospital in Springfield and as of Monday afternoon was out of surgery after doctors removed chips from his neck. He also sustained broken vertebrae but Grudek had no other information about the deputy’s recovery prospects.

A Passion for Cooking: Chef Offers Courses in Fine Dining

By Jennifer Jackson

JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com

People who eat at her restaurant always ask Linda Hager two questions: How did you learn to cook? And where did you get the pate, the pie crust, the cherry-pear chutney?

“When I tell them I make it from scratch, they don’t know what that means,” Hager said. “People think you buy scratch on the truck.”

Hager is the chef and owner of the Cottage Inn Restaurant, where she shares her passion for French, Italian and Greek food she learned to cook during the six years she lived in Europe. She offers wine dinners every month, and for Fleur Delicious, she is creating a four-course dinner paired with wines that gives people the chance to widen their culinary horizon.

“It’s an opportunity to try something new,” she said. “It’s not dinner anymore. It’s an education.”

Originally from upstate New York, Hager spent her junior year of college at the University of Madrid, studying French and Spanish literature. She returned to Europe after graduating, and lived in Paris for two years, then in Austria outside of Salzburg.

She also lived on the island of Crete, where she learned to cook grilled lamb, spanakopita and other Greek dishes.

“I had a friend who managed a resort with multiple restaurants, who let me try my hand at different dishes,” she said.

In 1979, Hager moved to Eureka Springs and opened a restaurant downtown. She bought the Cottage Inn on Highway 62 West in 1985, converting part of the 1930s-era motor court into a restaurant. Offering a ‘white-tablecloth’ restaurant was a challenge in a tourist town, she said, where people expected Southern cooking, meaning fried chicken. Comments she has gotten over 35 years in business: “These olives are bad,” from people who had never seen a black olive before, and “I’ve never had lamb before.

What part of the cow is that from?”

One couple, on seeing mashed sweet po-

Linda Hager started wine and food weekends in Eureka, the precursor to Fleur Delicious.

tatoes on the menu, said they wanted “American” potatoes instead. And the younger generation of diners seems even less adventurous.

“People want a steak and a baked potato,” Hager said. “I want to tell them, you can do that at home.”

Hager started wine dinners 27 years ago, and wine and food weekends held in November, the precursor to Fleur Delicious Weekend. For her restaurant’s Fleur Delicious wine dinner on July 13, she’s serving pate, followed by duck and lentil salad, daube de boeuf on puff pastry and for dessert, blood-orange sorbet in meringue, plus coffee and chocolate truffles. The dinner includes five wines from France, starting with a Domaine de Pouy from Cotes de Gascogne served before the pate and ending with a sparkling Cremant d’Alsace.

When the season is over, Hager shuts the restaurant down and travels to Spain, France or South America to visit wineries and discover different wines to serve her customers.

Her most recent discovery is a winery in Uruguay. She shares her passion for wine by offering wine flights at the restaurant, so that

people can sample three different kinds, red or white, before choosing what they want with dinner.

The appetizer choices include spanakopita, the layered spinach and feta pastry she learned to make in Greece. In addition to the cherry-pear chutney for the roasted duck confit, Hager makes the romesco sauce for the lamb and even her own pickles, which she uses to make tartar sauce for the boneless trout breaded in cornbread. When she buys multiple cartons of chicken livers to make pate, the clerks at the grocery store used to ask: “Are you going fishing?”

When she tells people she makes the meringues, the pie crust and all the bread served at the restaurant, they ask, “Why would you want to do that?” Desserts include lemon icebox pie, chocolate truffle torte and Peche Melba, a meringue with frozen peach yogurt topped with raspberry sauce.

As it says on the menu: “All made here.”

The Cottage Inn Restaurant is open Thursdays through Sundays for dinner, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Fleur Delicious Wine Dinner is Sunday, July 13 at 7 p.m. CottageInnEurekaSpgs.com.

Guest Commentary

I

POW/MIAs deserve to be honored

am writing this letter in advance, before the avalanche of protest letters come pouring in about me donating a POW-MIA flag that my American Legion Post #9 raised next to the recently installed flag pole American flag atop Planer Hill on the 4th of July morning. I thought it was a good idea to raise it on the 4th of July to honor our POW-MIAs. I’ve seen a lot of towns fly this flag proudly.

For those of you who protest this flag, you might be confused of its significance. Let me offer just one man’s opinion … mine.

It’s our duty to recognize our obligation to the memory of our nation’s military personnel as a sacred task for all Americans.

To this day, 40 years later, there are still 1,655 unaccounted-for American servicemen from the Vietnam War. The end to America’s involvement in Vietnam can’t end until we’ve achieved the most possible accounting of those missing in action (M.I.A.) and those still confined (P.O.W.). The lives of U.S. servicemen lost to the enemy in Vietnam have been largely forgotten, as true with Korea and World War II. There are still POW-MIA’s from those wars as well. To fly the POW-MIA flag is not a po-

did not follow through with it, and that his lack of experience with directing a band because of being a fast-track alternative certification teacher who has only taught band at Clear Spring School briefly, along with his philosophical differences with ASBOA, are responsible for the district not having a successful band program.

“I think if you don’t figure this out, you won’t have a band,” she said and added, “It’s like a coach deciding they’ll play a few games but won’t comply with the AAA. ... I think Mr. Martin is a good person and is a benefit to individual students but didn’t move forward with the band program.”

Alagood focused on the board making its decisions within the restrictions of the Teacher Fair Dismissal Act and deciding whether the board had “reasonable and just cause not to renew his contract” for each of the five reasons given. He

litical statement, it is simply to honor those who are held captive or lost and presumed dead. It’s an honorable memorial statement; that’s all! It irks me that some people choose to make more of it than that.

As a Vietnam veteran, I remember being called a baby killer when I came home and being told by opponents of the war that I should have died in Vietnam. It made me wonder did those brave young men who fought and suffered over there, did they all die for no good reason at all in Vietnam? It was just another war started by old men and fought by young boys? So it’s important to me when I see a POW-MIA flag flying, it reminds me of the sacrifices my buddies made in Vietnam, and the price my oldest brother’s buddies made in Korea, and what my father’s buddies paid for in World War II. That’s all.

I cannot for the life of me see why some people want to make such a big stink out of flying such a flag (or the American flag either).

It is to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, so they will not be forgotten. –This we’ll defend– Sonny Smith Eureka Springs

also contended that the school district did not follow the rules in responding to the hearing request in a timely manner and scheduling the hearing within five to 20 days of the request.

He called the five reasons cited for not renewing Martin’s contract “some of the lamest ... I’ve seen for trying to get rid of a teacher.”

After the board’s decision to accept the non-renewal, students hugged an exhausted-looking Martin, and many were crying.

Carol Martin, Martin’s mother, said to the board, “You all need to check in at the school and what’s going on there because it’s not just one teacher. It’s one administrator, though.”

Glenn Coggeshell, who told the board members they should be ashamed of their decision, said he has filed for school board and will challenge what he described as their inaction regarding teachers and staff being fired or quitting over the last few years because of disagreements with administrators. Coggeshell is running unopposed for Position 7, currently held by Sam Kirk.

Citizen of the Week Sonny Smith is a Vietnam veteran and a Eureka Springs resident.

On July 4, Smith helped raised a POW/MIA flag on Planer Hill at the entrance to Eureka Springs.

Smith donated the flag in honor of American servicemen who have been taken as prisoners of war of listed as missing in action — a total of 82,000 since the beginning of World War II. Those numbers were read by Mike Warkentin, post commander of American Legion Walker-Wilson Post No. 9 of Eureka Springs, at the dedication of a POW/MIA flag.

Smith got the idea for flying the POW/MIA flag after a new flagpole was erected on Planer Hill and he noticed the older, shorter flagpole was being used for a welcome banner. Smith paid for the flag, which will fly 24 hours a day, seven days a week on Planer Hill.

For helping Eureka Springs residents and visitors remember American servicemen who have sacrificed so much for our freedom, Sonny Smith is our Lovely County Citizen of the Week.

Last night I attended the SWEPCO forum in Eureka Springs and I want to thank Faith Petit-Shaw, Pat Costner and Doug Stowe for their supreme efforts in organizing a grassroots effort to save the Ozark Mountains from an obsolete system of energy distribution. Their tireless work has produced impressive results and it is the responsibility of all us to continue this massive effort.

Global warming, i.e., climate change, is a real threat to all life on our planet. The oceans are becoming acidified from the burning of coal and fossil fuels and their carbon released into the atmosphere. Currently there is the most marine massive die off of starfish and ocean snails, the base food for all sea life.

The wind and sun are the most abundant sources of energy and after the initial infrastructure cost, free. Energy companies will always have a place in the puzzle, but their stranglehold on society with cheap coal cannot be sustained.

Although solar and wind energy as the main source of energy is still a few years away, we can do something right now. The U.S. Department of Energy has set aside billions of dollars to invest in upgrading the insulation in our homes and businesses. Imagine not spending $1500 to $2000 a year to heat your home with propane, or using three or four cords of wood during a winter. Imagine cutting that cost in half because of improved insulation.

I ask and challenge Rep. Ballinger and Sen. King to work with me now to bring this program to our county and district. It’s imperative that petty politics are put aside because this does require legislators’ input and efforts. The results would be instant, dramatic and produce good-paying, local jobs at the same time. It’s possible now. The future is here!

Let’s not kill ourselves and everything else to live in the past just to fatten the corporate purse.

I have enjoyed an incredible journey in life through music and it all began in Eureka Springs at Inspiration Point in 1955.

The community of Eureka Springs has always been an integral part of nurturing this esteemed program that has served thousands of aspiring singers, dancers, instrumentalists and the careers of the music staff that has guided the growth of those attending each summer.

History is interesting and if you could track the people who have been at the Point, you would be amazed, especially since we are recognized internationally and many of our participants are from other countries.

Eureka is a special community that values the arts and I remember vividly borrowing pianos from the local churches which were taken by a pick-up to the

You Are Not Forgotten: American Legion dedicates POW/MIA Flag

By Jennifer Jackson

JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com

Eighty-two thousand. That’s how many people have been taken prisoner of war or listed as missing in action since the beginning of World War II. Of those, 73,000 were during WWII, 7,500 in Korea and 1,642 in Vietnam. After Vietnam: 131.

Mike Warkentin, post commander of American Legion Walker-Wilson Post No. 9 of Eureka Springs, read the numbers at a dedication of a POW/MIA flag on July 4. Donated on behalf of the Legion post by Vietnam veteran Sonny Smith, it will fly 24/7 on Planer Hill at the entrance to Eureka Springs.

“Brothers and sisters, you are not forgotten,” said Phil Kimball, post sergeant at arms, who led the honor guard.

Smith came up with the idea of flying the POW/MIA flag after a new flagpole was erected on Planer Hill and he noticed the older, shorter flagpole was being used for a welcome banner. So he bought the flag, which he helped raise at the July 4 dedication. Warkentin and Roy Tronnes, both Vietnam veterans, served in the honor guard. Post chaplain Ferguson Stewart read the prayer for prisoners of war. Then Kimball, a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, conducted the memorial for fallen comrades, placing a rifle, bayonet down, in a holder, a pair of boots next to the rifle, a helmet and a set of dog tags on the

rifle stock.

Attending the dedication was Jack Baker, past post commander, Tammy Baker, Wilie Nolan and Jacob Kimball, Phil’s son. Michelle McDonald, who runs Eureka Van Tours, also attended the ceremony after seeing people gathered at the flagpole and asking her passengers taking a tour if they wanted to stop. They said yes.

“I’m a firm believer in our country,”

said April Jackson of Houston, who was visiting Eureka Springs with a friend from Kansas.

Jackson, who was obviously moved by the ceremony, said her father, Earl McAnnally, was a Green Beret who fought in World War II. Her brother was also a veteran, and an uncle died in World War II. Warkentin said that since 1975, 941 remains of MIAs have been returned.

The last was Capt. Douglas Ferguson of the U.S. Air Force, who was lost on Dec. 30, 1969. His remains were recovered in April 2013.

More than 600 losses over water are listed as “No Further Pursuit,” Warkentin said.

Warkentin got the information from the National League of POW/MIA Families, which was formed in 1968.

The POW/MIA flag was adopted in 1970, and has flown over the White House on National POW/MIA Recognition Day since 1982, the only flag other than the Stars and Stripes to fly there.

The POW/MIA flag was installed in the Capitol Rotunda in 1988, the only flag ever displayed in the Rotunda. It is flown 24/7 at the National Vietnam Memorial, Korean War and World War II memorials, and on patriotic holidays at the U.S. Capitol, military installations, federal cemeteries, post offices and many state capitols.

“I am very proud we are able to do this,” Tammy Baker said of the new flag.

American Legion Walker-Wilson Post No. 9 was founded in 1919 in Eureka Springs, and originally met in a log building on North Main that is now a restaurant. Members of Walker-Wilson Post also spearheaded the effort to get the new flagpole installed on Planer Hill, and participated in the dedication ceremony.

Michael Doss, the youngest participant riding a decorated bicycle, took first place in the Eureka Springs 4th of July Parade.

Second place went to George Meyer of Save the Ozarks for a giant walking puppet, “The Eagle.” Mark Wetzel, a.k.a.

Sparky, took third place for brightening up the parade in a red-striped suit with blue stars and one of his trademark headpieces, made from dozens of long red, white and blue balloons, which he gave away to children in the park afterward.

Artist Regina Smith stepped up and organized the parade in two weeks in honor of Sue Glave, who revived the 4th of July parade and also organizes the Veterans Day Parade and events. Glave is recovering from heart surgery.

“Thank you to everyone for your participation in the 4th of July Parade,” Smith said. “Everyone was great.”

Crowds filled Basin Park and lined Spring Street for the parade, which was led by a color guard from American Legion Walker-Wilson Post No. 9. Mayor Morris Pate, the parade’s grand marshal, rode his motorcycle, as did Vietnam veteran Sonny Smith. Candidates for office waved from red convertibles. Little girls riding in a bunting-decked trailer threw candy. Turpentine Creek interns and staff tossed small beach balls and hacky sacks.

Wendi La Fey, in a red, white and blue ruffled dress, danced down the parade route swirling red and white scarves.

Save the Ozarks especially went all out, with multiple entries, including people riding in a Jeep, walking their dogs and carrying stick sculptures of animals in addition to the giant eagle. Smith said she appreciated everyone’s effort.

“I didn’t have time to collect money for the awards, so I made them,” she said.

Village View

Alison

By Sandra TaylorSynar Brown

This week we look at the most important element of your story: Character. Even if you are writing your own story, how you present yourself as a character is the most critical factor in whether anyone will read your story.

Pat Carr, our Program Coordinator, will be teaching an afternoon workshop on Character this Saturday (July 12).

Infinite Choices: Writing Character-Driven Stories

A

t the turn of the 20th century when literary criticism and the study of folk tales blossomed in Europe, French critics examined narratives from all countries and climes and determined that there were just twenty-nine basic plot lines. In other words, while variations exist in the details, there are actually only twenty-nine distinct actions we tell when we tell stories: “I fell in love;” “I rescued the maiden;” “I slew the____ (Fill in the blank).” At the same time a Russian folklorist, Vladimir Propp, realized through his analysis of folk tales that not only are the actions finite but that the narrative structure has remained the same in all places and in all times. A character must be abducted before he can be rescued, a pair of lovers must meet before they can fall in or out of love, there must be trust before there can be betrayal.

According to Carl Jung, stories that have been around for millennia are probably in our DNA by now, so today’s writers, who want action in their stories, have to work harder than ever to make those twenty-nine plots sound even vaguely fresh.

Which is why editors, publishers, and writing instructors urge authors to write character-driven stories.

Since currently seven billion human beings exist on our planet, and each of them is unique, each of them has a story. No experience (despite there being less than three dozen basic experiences) can happen exactly the same way in the same place at the same time to any two people. So no matter which finite event an author uses in his story, every indi-

vidual character will react to that incident in a way that depends on his individual personality and vision. With a few billion characters at his disposal, an author thus has infinite choices.

But before we as readers—or movie-goers or cable-watchers—can empathize with a character, we need to know that character.

Even disaster scripts have to pull us in by focusing on a few characters we care about.

All disaster films, from the silent Last Days of Pompeii to the noisy Titanic, have to hook us by letting us enter the private world of characters we like. The opening scene of carnage in Saving Private Ryan, one of the most effective bits of anti-war propaganda ever filmed, lasted less than twenty minutes because to keep our interest from flagging, Spielberg had to introduce the patrol leader/ teacher, played by likeable Everyman Tom Hanks. And even if we’ve steeled ourselves to sit through Godzilla, we don’t want to see nameless, faceless extras squashed under giant amphibian toes; we want to watch the man who’s out to defeat the monster lizard and save the world. We want to have a stake in the outcome. We want to care.

And we can care about an infinite number of characters.

Which is why editors, publishers, writing instructors, and readers want authors to write character-driven stories.

This Saturday, Pat will be teaching how to create stories whose plots are driven forward by the conflicts within and between characters, so that you can put your character in the driver’s seat. For more info and to register visit VillageWritingSchool.com or call me at (479) 292-3665.

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.

The Natural Way Hormones can have major impact

C

ortisol and DHEA are two hormones closely associated with health, sickness and weight Jim Fain gain. Whether eating to fill an emotional need or grabbing fast food simply because there’s no time to prepare something healthy, a stressed-out lifestyle is rarely a healthy one.

But weight gain when under stress may also be at least partly due to the body’s system of hormonal checks and balances, which can actually promote weight gain when you’re stressed out, according to some researchers. Being sure your thyroid is working right is crucial for weight loss and blood labs such as TSH, T3 and T4 are good to do.

If you eat too much of the high carb, sweet or salty and over-processed comfort foods, then the hormone cortisol may be elevated in your system. Cortisol isn’t from the comfort foods but is produced by glands in your body.

We produce cortisol as a way to stay hyper and on top of things, part of the flight and fright reactions we are hardwired to do.

The problem with cortisol starts when we are stressed so often and for so long that we have no relaxation (sometimes called adrenal fatigue). This is where reaching for cupcakes, chips and sweets come in. Sort of a tasty treat to soften stress. Weight gain follows.

Prolonged cortisol harms our brain and our immune and cardiovascular systems often raising inflammation. It also throws off the delicate balance needed by our hormonal system. There are many excellent supplement choices for reducing cortisol and these can be taken without the need of lab testing. You can feel the difference within a few days of supplementing.

DHEA is another hormone that is essential to our proper everyday health and functioning. Trouble is that DHEA plummets when cortisol levels increase. More stress, fatigue and disease follows as does a reduction of sex hormones in many. DHEA supplements are available and useful but I strongly suggest not using them until blood testing shows the need. If you supplement with hormones and you don’t need to then your body typically stops producing your natural ones ... not good. Additionally, too much can be harmful as well. Fortunately, testing is easy, inexpensive and reliable.

Stress reduction is the key. Doing so without medicines is the ideal but may not be practical. Rhodiola as a supplement is very good. Other choices are ginseng, B-complex, high doses of vitamin C and Ashwaganda. Supplement formulas can be very effective in creating a feeling of well-being. Talking with a knowledgeable supplement/herbal expert can greatly benefit by easing the difficult choices.

opera and returned at end of season as well as singing in the church services and performing our operas and symphony selections in the historic Auditorium each summer.

Our founder, Dr. Henry Hobart, built a lasting relationship and it has been a privilege to serve as General Director for 25 years and interact with civic leaders, business owners and the community in the growth that has taken place during my leadership.

I hope all who read this will commit to attending a performance in the future, especially at the beginning of a season, when a local can get a half-price ticket. Soon, on July 13, the staff and opera company will present a Gala concert in the Arend Arts Center in Bentonville commemorating my tenure as General Director and it will be a celebration of what can be accomplished when arts lovers combine to support the culture that defines our great country.

I wish I could express in person my gratitude to each person who has been in the Opera Guild, Chamber, etc. that have been involved in some way during the 64 years of Opera in the Ozarks at Inspiration Point, but hopefully this letter via the Editor will reach each of you and I hope we can be together in Bentonville on July 13 at 4 p.m. in the Arend Center.

Thanks for being a catalyst in my life in music!
