SWEPCO seeks more time to respond to call for more evidence By Scott Loftis
CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
Southwestern Electric Power Co. says it will comply with the Arkansas Public Service Commission’s request for more evidence demonstrating a need for its plan to construct a high-voltage power line through the Ozark Mountains — but not until January 2015. In a July 3 letter to APSC Secretary Michael Sappington, Rogers attorney David R. Matthews said that SWEPCO representatives met with representatives of Southwest Power Pool to discuss the commission’s request. “SPP intends to conduct the requested evaluation in parallel with its Integrated Transmission Plan process for 2015, which SPP believes will best achieve the comprehensive study results ordered by the (PSC),” Matthews wrote. “The ITP follows a regular and routine timetable that will be concluded in January 2015. Thus, SPP anticipates that the comprehensive evaluation requested by the commission will be complete at the end of January 2015.” The letter drew sharp criticism from Save the Ozarks, a grassroots group of local residents who have joined together to oppose SWEPCO’s proposal. Opponents of the power line say the project would harm the beauty of the area, have a negative impact on tourism and harm the environment. STO also contends that the high-voltage line and SWEPCO’s plans to use herbicides and pesticides to keep the project free of vegetation could contaminate drinking water or have other harmful effects on residents’ health. “When SWEPCO applied to the commission on April 3, 2013, the utility company claimed there was a ‘critical’ need in Carroll County for this massive transmission line,” STO said in a press release. “When that claim was disproved, SWEPCO and the Southwest Power Pool came back with a new list of proposed needs that were also shown to be questionable.” The STO press release quoted the APSC’s June 9 order that granted a rehearing on the SWEPCO project. The commission grant-
ed the new hearing after both sides of the dispute appealed an earlier ruling by an administrative law judge with the commission that approved the project. STO contends that the project is entirely unwarranted, while SWEPCO took issue with the route approved by the judge. “… the record is presently insufficient to determine: the need for the particular 345 kV project that has been proposed, whether that project is consistent with the public convenience and necessity, and whether the project represents an `acceptable adverse environmental impact, considering ... the various alternatives, if any, and other pertinent considerations,” the APSC’s June 9 order said. STO Director Pat Costner said local residents deserve for the dispute to be settled sooner rather than later. “The commission has concluded that SWEPCO’s application is inadequate,” Costner said. “By all that’s right, just and merciful, why don’t the commissioners walk their talk and dismiss SWEPCO’s application? The people in the path of this monstrous proposal have been staring down the barrel of SWEPCO’s loaded shotgun for 16 long months, watching their property values drop and prospective buyers walk away. Now SWEPCO is asking the commission to let them keep thousands of property owners in its crosshairs for another six months. That’s almost two years as sitting ducks for SWEPCO’s private property grab.” SWEPCO’s plans call for the 345,000volt line to run from its Shipe Road station west of Centerton in Benton County to a proposed new station on the Kings River near Berryville. The right-of-way for the transmission line, or the area to be clear-cut and then kept clear using herbicides, would be 150 feet wide and each tower would be between 130 and 160 feet tall. The cost of the project cost is estimated at between $90 million and $117 million. In its initial application, SWEPCO said it hoped to being constructing the line in March 2015 and begin use by June 2016.

Council approves Master Trail Plan By Scott Loftis
CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
More than 40 residents spoke during the public comments portion of Monday’s meeting of the Eureka Springs City Council, with the vast majority urging the council to adopt the Eureka Springs Master Trail Plan. Those residents got their wish, as the council voted 5-0-1 to adopt the plan. Alderman David Mitchell voted “present” after expressing concerns about some language in the document. Specifically, Mitchell was concerned that the plan calls for unresolved issues involving landowners to be forwarded to the Parks Commission for further review. Despite his vote, Mitchell was complimentary of the overall plan. “I’d like to say very clearly that I think this is a remarkable master plan,” he said during discussion before the vote. Other council members assured Mitchell that any disputes involving landowners that aren’t resolved by the Parks Commission ultimately will come before the council. In other action, the council voted 5-1 to adopt a resolution, co-sponsored by Mitchell and Alderwoman Mickey Schneider, that reaffirms a 2012 endorsement of marriage equality and supports an Aug. 2 marriage reception and celebration in honor of same-sex couples who were married in May after a judge declared the state’s ban on same-sex marriages illegal. Alderman Dee Purkeypile cast the lone dissenting vote. “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 Aug. 2, 2014,” the resolu-
tion reads in part. The council tabled a proposed override of Mayor Morris Pate’s veto of the council’s June 23 vote to approve an ordinance vacating a portion of Rock Street that intersects property owned by Ryan and Rachel Brix. An attorney for Marble Flats, a property adjacent to the Brixes’ property, told the council that a potential compromise is in the works and that the issue may be settled before the council’s next meeting on July 28. On another issue, Schneider asked the council to pass a resolution officially opposing the fluoridation of the city’s water supply. Schneider indicated she will prepare such a resolution for the council’s consideration. A law passed by the Arkansas Legislature in 2011 requires any city that serves more than 5,000 residents to add fluoride to its drinking water. Eureka Springs purchases its water from the Carroll Boone Water District, which is preparing to comply with the state law. Opponents to fluoridation say that fluoride poses major health risks to humans. Several of the residents who spoke during the public comments portion of Monday’s meeting expressed opposition to adding fluoride to the city’s drinking water. Alderman James DeVito noted that the state law requiring fluoridation was passed in 2011 and pointed out that the council adopted a resolution against adding fluoride in 2012. “Basically, that’s all we can do as a city,” DeVito said. “This is a state-mandated project.” “You may have forgotten about this over the last couple of years, but that doesn’t mean everyone has,” Schneider replied. “Some things take a long time to work on.” Monday’s meeting lasted nearly five hours, including nearly two hours of public comments.

Carroll-Boone Water District board to hear update on fluoride facility and funding By Kathryn Lucariello
CCNhi@cox-internet.com
EUREKA SPRINGS – The Carroll-Boone Water District board will hear an update Thursday on construction of the fluoride-dispensing project, as well as on payments from Delta Dental for the facility and those to the contractor. The board also will consider approval of life insurance and AD&D coverage for employees exposed to silica, part of the fluoridation process. Also, the board will elect a secretary/ treasurer to replace fellow member Harold Collins, who passed away June 28. Collins represented Green Forest on the board for 35 years. The board also will discuss the timing and recommendations for a rate increase and a water revenue bond issue related to the AR Highway 62 widening project. By way of this discussion, the board will consider whether to reinvest short term or long term a certificate of deposit held at the Bank of the Ozarks. In other business, the board will:
• Hear for approval the nine-month financial report ending June 30. • Consider for approval a resolution to update bank signature cards, safety deposit box signatures, CDs and another check signer. • Consider including the board in the district workers’ compensation insurance package. • Discuss renewal, redemption or lineof-credit for funds of a CD held at Cornerstone Bank. • Hear the manager’s report on the plant transition and fuel tank and fuel line update. • Hear the engineer’s report on resumes received for the general manager position, the Highway 62 widening project, the parallel waterline project, earthquake insurance for the waterline and telemetry project. The meeting, which is open to the public, will take place Thursday, July 17, at 10 a.m. at the Freeman-Raney Water Treatment Plant at 11510 Hwy. 187 in Eureka Springs.
Youth Theater presents “Little Women” at Aud By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
The Youth Community Theater of Eureka Springs will present two performances of “Little Women” at 7 p.m Aug. 1 and 2 at the Auditorium. The performances are free. Published in 1868, Louisa May Alcott’s best-known novel tells the story of the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth — and their home life in New England during the Civil War. The stage version was originally commissioned and produced by The Children’s Theater Company of Minneapolis, and adapted from the novel by Marisha Chamberlain.
Youth Community Theater is a free program for youth 11 to 18 that promotes self-confidence and public speaking skills, and offers experience on stage and behind the scenes. It was started in January of 2013 by Doug Phillips and Josh Mollenkamp, a graduate theater student, as Mollenkamp’s thesis project. The first two sessions culminated in performances, and the third session focused on the production of a one-act play. “Little Women” is the culmination of the 2014 summer session, which started June 5.

Collective Memory
Eureka’s Living Repository of History to Be Honored By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
She was born on July 19, 1938, in a log house in a hollow on the south side of Eureka Springs. The seventh of eight children, she learned to read by the light of kerosene lanterns. Her first five years of schooling took place in a rural school house, June Westphal also without electricity. Her formal education ended when she graduated from Eureka Springs High School in 1955. From that beginning, June Johnson Westphal has become the acknowledged
authority on the history of Eureka Springs, where her family put down roots almost two centuries ago. On July 20, the Eureka Springs Historical Museum is marking Westphal’s 76th birthday by holding an open house in her honor. “She is considered a living treasure on the history of our unique community,” said Stephanie Stodden, interim museum director. Westphal literally wrote the book on Eureka, starting with the town’s autobiography, “A Fame Not Easily Forgotten,” in 1970. Co-authored by Catharine Osterhage, it was reprinted in 2010. In 2012, “Eureka Springs: City of Healing Water” by Westphal and Kate Cooper was published. Like Will Rogers, who never met a man he didn’t like, Westphal never hears the name of a local she doesn’t have a story about. She has her own family history to

draw on, going back to 1820, when her great-great-great grandparents settled in Northwest Arkansas. Westphal, who went to work for Sam Leath at the Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce after high school, started mining newspapers and other archives for local history in 1965. In a 2012 profile published in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Westphal credited Leath with giving her the skills to do research and work with old photos. “Not only did he make me enthusiastic about Eureka Springs, he gave me the kind of knowledge I needed,” she told reporter Rich Polikoff. Westphal used the information she collected for her books and for vignettes she wrote for KESA Radio’s “Memory Moments.” The subjects ranged from town founders and judges to Bill Doolan, leader of the last outlaw gang. Last year, Westphal published “50 Memory Moments,” and was working on another history, “Eureka Springs: The Eras of Our Ways,” with M.J. Sell.
Westphal also knows where the bodies are buried -- she is the primary historian for “Voices from Eureka’s Silent City,” the living history tours staged by costumed actors at the local cemetery in October. The tours are a fundraiser for the Eureka Springs Historical Museum, of which Westphal is a founder and executive director emeritus. In 2012, the Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce presented Westphal with a Lifetime Spirit Award. Westphal was married for 38 years to Al Westphal, who died in 1999. Their son and grandchildren continue the family lineage. June Westphal now lives on the south side of Eureka Springs, in a log house near Greenwood Hollow where she grew up. The public is invited to attend an open house for June Westphal on Sunday, July 20, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Eureka Springs Historical Museum. Cards may be sent to the museum, 95 S. Main, Eureka Springs, AR 72632.

Putting on My Top Hat ESSA to Raise Landmark Sculpture By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
Kandy Jones was teaching a mosaics class at Eureka Springs School of the Arts last year when she and her students started talking about the school’s outward appearance. Specifically, they thought the office and main classroom building, a one-story structure fronting Highway 62, didn’t reflect the artistic creativity that went on inside. In fact, they decided, it needed something really eye-catching so that when people drove up to ESSA, or by it, they knew it was an art school. “First we talked about a giant butterfly,” Jones said. “Then I had an epiphany. We could do a giant hat.” This fall, Jones is bringing the big hat idea to reality in an ESSA workshop, “Creating a Mad Hatter Ball Marquee.” The plan: to construct an 8-foot-tall, three-dimensional top hat in front of the school using concrete, polystyrene, metal and found objects -- in five days. “It was kind of a crazy class idea,” Jones said, “literally -- the whole class.” A top hat is the symbol of the school’s big fundraiser, The Mad Hatter Ball, held in the Crescent Hotel ballroom in October. But Jones has never been to the event -- that’s her busy time of year. Known as the Garage Sale Queen, Jones teaches mixed-media mosaics at the Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock. Her work is a crowd pleaser: a 7-foot long mermaid won the People’s Choice Best of Show award at the Arkansas Sculpture Guild’s Invitational Show last year, and “Bistro Beni,” a sculpture of a chef, was named the People’s Choice Best of Show this year. “I’m kind of known for crazy mosaics,” Jones said. The Big Hat will be the biggest three-dimensional mosaic sculpture she has ever done, Jones said. Judy Lee Carpenter, who teaches metal work at ESSA, is constructing a metal armature for the sculpture. Large pieces of polystyrene will be incorporated into the frame and covered with a concrete base, Jones said, to which the mo-
saics and found objects will be applied. “My teacher in this method was Sherri Warner Hunter of Tennessee,” Jones said. “She taught me how to carve styrofoam and utilize this method to create a shell on it.” Almost everything used in the Big Hat project will be recycled material, Jones said, including chunks of polystyrene from an old boat dock. Although the design for the hat will evolve during construction, plans call for a hat band with “ESSA” on it, giant paintbrushes sticking up from the band. The hat’s surface will be a mosaic of things that represent Eureka or artists, Jones said. “I would love for people to bring grandma’s old plate, a souvenir of Eureka they’re had for years or other pieces of their lives to incorporate into it,” she said. “Even if they are not going to work on it, they can bring something that they want put on it.” People taking the workshop should have some experience in mosaics, hypertufa, concrete or metal work, and want to take their skills to literally a higher level. The workshop is also a chance for people to let their creativity flow, and to create a community landmark that people will enjoy for years to come. “I told Judy our legacy’s going to be on Highway 62,” Jones said. Building the Big Hat will make up for all the years that Jones hasn’t been able to go to the Mad Hatter’s Ball and create a hat to enter in the contest. “I’ll just make one big giant one,” she said. “It will be the hat that all other hats will have to try to beat.” “Creating a Mad Hatter Ball Marquee” workshop will be scheduled once the metal framework is constructed. Check the ESSA website (essa-art.org) for dates. Eureka Springs School of the Arts is five miles northwest of Eureka Springs on Highway 62 W. Jones will also teach a hypertufa workshop at ESSA Sept. 15 through Sept. 19. For examples of her mosaic sculpture, go to GaragesSaleQueen.biz.
Poetluck slated at Writers’ Colony
At the July 17 Poetluck gathering at the Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow, we will hear from writers-in-residence Elizabeth Dodd, Sherri Perry, Dawn Dow and Richard Neumann. Elizabeth Dodd is the recipient of the 2013 Moondancer Fellowship for writing about the environment. She teaches creative writing and environmental literature at Kansas State University. Her work has taken her to islands in the North Sea off the Scottish coast, to paleolithic caves in southern France, to the heart of the Amazon River in Brazil, to Mayan ruins in the Yucatan peninsula, and to rare island refuges off the coast of New Zealand, yet this will be her longest stay in nearby Arkansas. Sherri Perry will read from her book, venn, a collection of both poetry and short stories. Sherri is a school adminis-
9
trator and teacher, and she wrote venn almost entirely at the Writers’ Colony. She has been a Colony resident seven or eight times. Dawn Dow will read an excerpt from her manuscript examining race, work and motherhood. Richard Neumann will read an excerpt from his article about Swedish law and saga. We will of course start with a potluck dinner at 6:30 p.m. Local writers are invited to read from their work for up to four minutes after we hear from our resident writers. Poetluck takes place every third Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow, 515 Spring Street, Eureka Springs. Everyone is welcome, so bring a dish to share and settle in for a great evening. See you there!

Editorial
S
By Scott Loftis
Hello, I’m glad to be here
ince I’m about to wrap up my fourth week here in beautiful Carroll County, I suppose it’s time to introduce myself. My name, as you’ve probably figured out by now, is Scott Loftis, and I am the new managing editor for Carroll County Newspapers, which publishes both the Lovely County Citizen and the Carroll County News, as well as several other publications. I came to Carroll County from Pine Bluff, where I served as managing editor of the daily Pine Bluff Commercial. To say this is like a different world is an understatement. That isn’t meant as a dig at Pine Bluff. There are some wonderful people who call that city home, and they love their hometown just as much as Eurekans love theirs. But from the topography to the economy to the most prominent news events, it’s different. Eventually, I will be based mostly in Berryville. For now, I have responsibility for the day-to-day news operations of The Citizen, until we can hire an associate editor who will be based full-time in Eureka and will make the day-to-day decisions here. Still, I’m sure I will spend a lot of time in Eureka, both on the job and off, and I’m trying to absorb as much as I can as quickly as I can about the issues and stories that are important to you as readers. They’re quickly becoming important to me, too, because this is my new home as well as yours. So, I’m learning on the go about SWEPCO and the trail system and what seems to be
a looming debate about a downtown parking garage. One thing that has impressed me very quickly about Eurekans is their willingness — no, their desire — to be involved in their government, to understand the issues and make their opinions known. During my first week here, I covered a forum hosted by two state lawmakers regarding SWEPCO’s plan to run a high-voltage power line through the area. Hundreds of people attended the forum and it seemed as if dozens of them spoke. They spoke with intelligence and passion about an issue that they believe is important not only for themselves in the here and now but for their children and grandchildren in the years to come. I had a similar experience earlier this week when I attended a meeting of the Eureka Springs City Council. A standing-room only crowd showed up outside the meeting room and more than 40 people spoke about issues on the meeting agenda. I’m happy to be living and working in a place where people care that much about the important issues (because what that really means is that they care about each other), and I hope we can do our part at The Citizen to help keep our readers informed. Admittedly, there is a learning curve involved so please be patient while I get my bearings. I want to be available to readers, so please feel free to contact me at CarrollCountyNews@ cox-internet.com or by phone at 479-981-9419. I look forward to getting to know you.

Citizen Survey
Just coming off a busy week of Fleur Delicious Weekend (FDW), I read with interest your latest poll in the Lovely County Citizen. As a founder of FDW, I was of course thrilled to see FDW, a specific fest, included in your poll amongst general auto, music, etc. fests with greater longevity. I personally think all fests, including art, culinary, film, mardi gras, sporting, zombies, etc. are beneficial to the city in their own way. While you might not attend all fests or even an individual event, citizens and visitors get exposed to the wealth and diversity of what Eureka Springs has to offer and may partake at another time. While I have no personal financial gain in FDW, and actually FDW has out-of-pocket expenses, I’d like to share why I think FDW is beneficial to Eureka Springs. FDW is an all volunteer fest with no funding, other than our generous printing sponsor, Ciroc/Glazer. FDW has always been inclusive in inviting all businesses to participate. FDW does not charge for any of the marketing and promotion of individual events or for FDW as a whole. FDW has an active Facebook page and website, which create awareness for participants and the town in its entirety. Businesses have shared with us that they see a marked uptick in their sales during FDW compared to previous non-FDW years. Keep in mind, FDW just celebrated its 4th Annual and has grown from a 4 day fest to the 7 day fest that encompasses 2 weeks. We’ve personally had folks from out of town tell us they trav-

eled to Eureka Springs just for FDW and to enjoy all the citywide events. This year we had a record number of businesses partnering with each other to cross market their businesses and to highlight their creativity and talent. This is what we envisioned when we started FDW and hoped it would inspire that shared spirit of cooperation. Critical mass and all that...when anyone brings together something special and builds a juggernaut of any fest, you trust that everyone benefits and enjoys the fruits of the efforts of those event promoters, coordinators, volunteers, and participating businesses. FDW hopes the town had fun, and we hope locals were engaged in the events as well as those travelers seeking a new experience. We’d like to think FDW has been a success. I truly appreciate and thank everyone in town that participated in their own way. And I would like to add a special thanks to Teresa DeVito, co-founder of FDW, for helping to organize this fleurty fest with me. Thanks~Merci~Cheers! Ilene Powell Fleur Delicious Weekend

Opera royalty comes to Carroll County Moore returns to help honor Swiggart

CARROLL COUNTY – When bluesman BB King came to Eureka Springs to play at the Aud, it was a big deal. When opera diva and Metropolitan Opera star Latonia Moore came to Carroll County last week, it was an equally big deal. Moore took time out of her busy international schedule, which includes performing around the world, to come back to Opera in the Ozarks. While Moore journeyed back to Opera in the Ozarks to teach master classes at OIO, she primarily came to honor a mentor and friend who as much as anyone else helped launch her meteoric career – Jim Swiggart, OIO General Director Emeritus. He was recognized for his 25 years of service at a gala concert and reception at Bentonville’s Arend Arts Center last Sunday afternoon, with more than 300 in attendance. The path Moore is on now is miles away from where she would have dared to dream and is a direct result of her 1999 summer encounter with the opera workshop. Moore’s background is like many blues and jazz singers, steeped in the traditions of church gospel music. “My grandfather was a [Baptist] preacher,” she says. “And my sister and I were in the choir. So it all started with church.” Moore studied music at the University of North Texas in Denton. She concentrated on gospel and jazz until one of her professors convinced her to study classical singing. “Jazz is a classic art form,” Moore says. But classical music is where her voice has taken her. When asked if she still does some jazz, she just gives a sly smile. In the summer of 1999 Moore was accepted into Opera in the Ozarks, the summer program at Inspiration Point Fine Arts Colony started in 1950 by music professor Dr. Henry Hobart. “Latonia had a major role in one of the operas,” Swiggart says. But just before the performances were to begin Moore told Swiggart she needed to return home to Houston.

Jim Swiggart, OIO General Director Emeritus, is greeted at the gala reception by Niles Rains, from Green Forest.
“[My wife and] I spent the evening with her and the next morning she made the decision to stay,” Swiggart said. That decision may have been the pivotal point in Moore’s career because the next summer, at only 21, she was selected to sing with the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Moore praised OIO for giving her the opportunity to sing operas in the original language, with a live orchestra, in front of an audience. “[OIO] was one of the few programs for young opera performers where I could do a leading role,” she said. Moore will next sing Verdi’s Requiem, in Quebec in August, and will return to the Met in December to sing the leading role in Verdi’s Aida. Also performing at the Gala concert honoring Swiggart was ‘96 and ‘99 alum Joel Burcham. The tenor has established himself as one of the nation’s top operatic and classical singers. The Nashville, Ill., native makes his European debut in August in Eisenstadt and Vienna, Austria. “Opera in the Ozarks gave me the confidence that I could sing in operas,” said the up-and-coming young star, who returned to honor Swiggart. Burcham is a voice profes-
sor at the University of Oklahoma. Swiggart and his wife, Janice, were brought on the stage, along with several of his children, grandchildren and friends, to receive a musical tribute. OIO Creative Director Thomas Cockrell, adapted a portion of a Wagner opera, The Master-Singers of Nuremberg, which heaped often humorous praise on the man of the evening. The Oklahoma native was presented with a new, red “Oklahoma Sooners – 7-Times National Champions” cap, and was clearly moved by the depth of the event. When asked what the evening was like, Swiggart said, “Phenomenal. [It] brought back incredible memories of seasons past, memories of Professor Hobart ... and [all] the professionals who came to Northwest Arkansas to share their knowledge with aspiring performers, like myself, which shaped my musical career. “[It was] wonderful to see so many area arts supporters and many from other states, who drove many miles to celebrate the history of Opera in the Ozarks, and the role I have played as General Director,” Swiggart said. “My deepest thanks to those who performed and displayed the best of our art form. There is magic on the mountain!”

The 4th annual Fleur Delicious Weekend was held over the weekend - technically July 2-July 13. Events were held throughout town, celebrating the senses of taste, touch, hearing, sight and smell – all with a heavy French Theme. Dinner specials, books signings, wine tasting, bartender competitions and enough pastries to make a Frenchman exclaim, “C’était délicieux!”.

Summer Program is a hit
The annual Eureka Springs Police Department Summer Program, formerly the G.R.E.A.T. Program, was held at the Holiday Island Recreation Center throughout last week. Activities included a show by Snake World and show by Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. Mercy Lifeline sent out one of its helicopters for the kids to inspect and the Eureka Springs Fire Department sent out a few emergency medical technicians in an ambulance to talk to the kids as well. Free usage of the grounds for four days was granted by the Holiday Island Suburban Improvement District. Donations were sent in by Harts, Sunfest, Pepsi, Roadhouse Restaurant and the ESPD.

Eureka and Company: New Shop Opens on North Main By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
For Teresa Kolb, June was an eventful month. On June 15, she opened a new business, Eureka and Company, a clothing, accessory and gift store on North Main. Putting her house in Fort Smith on the market, she got a cash offer right away. The closing date was June 30. The week she had to move out, she had surgery on her right eye, and was not supposed to do any lifting. She also couldn’t drive a car. Putting her stuff in storage, she found a place to live in Eureka Springs where she could walk to work. “And this was before I knew if I would ever see out of my right eye again,” Kolb said. The surgery was successful, as has been her first few weeks in business. She chose the location, between the Stringed Instrument Peddler and Smilin’ Brook Cafe, because of the view out of the back of the store, a window wall overlooking a creek. “I enjoy looking at all the beauty here, because I can see it with two good eyes,” she said. Kolb did have help from her daughter, Stephanie Kear, and her son, Trevor Kolb, who are both business partners. All have retail experience — Trevor works in a department store, and Stephanie grew up in her mother’s businesses in Fort Smith, a baby and maternity store called “Pickles and Cream,” and a “For Girls Only” clothing store. Teresa Kolb has also been a decorator, was a Realtor in Fort Smith for
14 years, and most recently, covered four states as a sales rep for jewelry and gift items. Deciding she needed to do something she enjoyed, she started looking at opening a business in Eureka. “I’ve always loved retail,” Kolb said. “I’ve always loved being with the public” Kolb said she has been visiting Eureka since she was a child, and knew this is where she wanted to have her store. In addition to the view, she chose the space because of the bright, colorful interior, which is reflected in the clothing she sells. Also colorful are the handmade roll-on arm bands and headbands made in Nepal, which complement the style of women’s clothing she carries. The purses are selling really well, she said, and she’s sold almost all her baby clothes. “I’ve got to go back to market, I’ve sold so much,” she said. Kolb also stocks 16 scents in perfume and cologne, soft toys and children’s clothing. She tries to find jewelry that isn’t carried elsewhere in town. One eye-catching item: 3rd Eye pendants, made of a slice of petrified pine cone inset with a stone or shell. “For every pendant we sell, they plant a tree,” she said. Kolb also carries pottery and metalwork by artist Linda Chidsey and Flash Power candles that come in a pottery bowl that can reused to hold candles on the hearth. She offers free gift wrapping. Eureka and Company is open seven days a week, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., at 55 N. Main St.

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 Cat’s Claw can help fight cancer
T
he mysteries of the Amazon and cold science met face to face when a legendary herb Jim Fain gave promise in the battle against cancer. Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is so useful it has the unpleasant honor of being closely studied by the pharmaceutical industry. Chemists will be looking for a way to synthetically create similar chemicals to those found in this Amazonian herb. When found, these synthetics can be patented and made into prescribed drugs. It turns out Cat’s Claw couldn’t be made in a lab so we still have it in health food stores. It has other names such as Una de Gato, Garabato and Amarillo. Science knows it is made up of natural chemicals such as beta sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol. Many of the compounds have known anti-cancer benefits; these are the ones which have been studied. Science has just recently published very good work proving benefits from this herb. The Shaman of the Amazonian jungle have known this for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. The modern Herbalist knows it is an anti-inflammatory, reduces the negatives from radiation therapy and chemotherapy as it is a powerful antioxidant, has a long history of use in stopping the growth of tumors and their proliferation. It also increases circulation, inhibits blood clots, reduces cholesterol and can lower high blood pressure. Traditional use also includes bowel cleanse, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, leaky bowel, colitis, ulcers, irritable bowel and the elimination of parasites. There are also anti-fungal properties which alleviate systemic candida. The immune system boosting properties are legendary. Tincture seems to be the easiest method of taking this herb, though capsules are available. Most of the ailments Cat’s Claw attends to are very serious. Using this remedy along with conventional treatment should be just fine. Adding another supplement, modified citrus pectin, should make it work even better. How did the “uneducated” Shaman know how to choose this herb out of the hundreds of thousands in the Amazon? Understand, science is just now affirming what has been known for a long time. Something else is certainly at work in gaining the biomedical knowledge which the Shaman had. Mystery, isn’t it great?

The Ozark Mountain Daredevils http://www.ozarkdaredevils.com Formed in 1972, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils are best known for their hits “If You Want To Get To Heaven...” and “Jackie Blue,” but their music is steeped in Ozark Folk. The Daredevils were born and bred, so to speak, in the Ozarks. From their humble beginnings at the New Bijou Theater in Springfield, Mo., the Daredevils went on to play around the world with acts like The Beach Boys, Poco, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac and The Doobie Brothers. One of their first major and most memorable performances was in 1973 at the fabled Cowtown Ballroom in Kansas City, where they performed with Brewer & Shipley for the first time, starting a lifetime of co-billings. Still featuring the majority of the original members, the Daredevils have sold out all of their rare reunion performances, so get your tickets early!

Brewer & Shipley http://brewerandshipley.com Michael Brewer & Tom Shipley are truly two who work as one. Still as passionate as ever, they continue to blend guitars and voices and perform for audiences 40 years after their trademark vocal harmonies and intertwined acoustic guitars carved a unique niche in America’s soundboard. Their melodic music and underlying lyrical themes of personal freedom and traditional songs of love still resonate with long time fans while continuing to draw new ones. When they recorded “One Toke Over The Line,” Brewer & Shipley actually thought the record company would bury it and never release the song. Instead, it became an instant hit. The duo has gone on to release a dozen albums over the years and continues to perform around the world. They were one of this year’s recipients of the Folk Alliance’s “Spirit of Folk” Award. Danny Cox http://dannycoxfolk.com Danny Cox is the anchor that ties the Daredevils and Brewer & Shipley together. As partner in Good Karma Productions and the Cowtown Ballroom, Danny helped manage and promote Brewer & Shipley and the Daredevils on their rise to stardom. A star in his own right, Danny is a singer, guitarist, songwriter, playwright and actor. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Danny grew up singing in the church choir with Rudolph Isley of the Isley Brothers. Moving to Kansas City in 1967, Danny was soon an integral part of the diverse KC music scene. He quickly found a “home” at The Vanguard Coffeehouse, literally living across the street from it. From the meager Vanguard stage, Danny’s amazing vocals and meaningful lyrics helped draw in folk acts from around the world, many who came just for a chance to perform with Danny. A virtual who’s who of the folk world played there, establishing Kansas City’s folk scene as one of the best in the world. As the Vanguard grew too small for the crowds, Good Karma expanded into a larger venue, creating the Cowtown Ballroom. They were instrumental in bringing the vast majority of major music acts to Kansas City in the early 1970s. Outgrowing the Ballroom, Good Karma expanded into arena and coliseum shows, producing some

of the Midwest’s largest concerts, featuring acts like Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones. Danny eventually decided to get back to his folk roots, and started writing music and plays, many for The Kansas City Children’s Theater, where his lyrics and words often teach about civil rights. in recognition of his lifetime of suppoIt to folk music and musicians, Danny was one of this year’s recipients of the Folk Alliance’s “Spirit of Folk” Award. The Cindy Woolf Band, featuring Mark Bilyeu http://www.cindywoolf.com Performing for the annual Barefoot Ball with be The Cindy Woolf Band. Hailing from Batesville, Arkansas, Cindy Woolf has been a resident of the Ozarks since 1998, where she has become well-known for a singular singing voice and her enchanting performances of her original songs. Her music has taken her on tour across the United States. Dirty Linen said of Woolf upon the release of her first album, “Instantly timeless…spell-binding… beautiful, heartfelt, entrancing.” Mark Bilyeu, well-known for his years as part of the legendary Ozarks bluegrass-dance group Big Smith, and Cindy Woolf have been playing together for the better part of ten years, performing on the Americana/Folk and singer-songwriter circuit. They are a true duo, both in music and in life, as they married in June 2013, and
often tour as a folk due. But for the Barefoot Ball, Cindy and Mark are bringing their full band to Eureka Springs, and those familiar with “Big Smith” will find several recognizable faces in the band.\For a complete schedule and information about the rest of the performers, please visit OzarkFolkFestival.com.

warming; our Republican friends in the House are trying to save us from those efforts. They finally managed to pass a bill out of the House to give coal more money and to reduce renewable energy by 100 million dollars. Yep, you heard me. Your concerns for the future have been deemed foolish and it’s full steam ahead for fossil fuels and coal. Be sure and remember this when it comes time to vote this November. Your vote can give these short-sighted, politicians the boot or we can all die faster and a bit more painfully. Your choice. Because the Republicans here in Arkansas have overridden the Governor’s veto on the draconian voter’s registration bill; make sure that your registration form matches your other forms of ID, or your vote won’t count. This is especially important for women, since last names often change with marriage. Sheri Hanson Eureka Springs
