A quarry in our midst? Community meeting focuses on alleged drilling By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Carroll County residents met near Rock House Road on Thursday, June 6, to address a growing concern in the community: Is drilling occurring near Keels Creek, and is it legal? Christopher Fischer welcomed everyone and said he was surprised at how many people showed up to the impromptu meeting. Fischer described how he discovered something has gone wrong on Kings River, saying he was driving home after a big rain storm in Eureka Springs when he first noticed a problem. “I’ve been crossing the bridge at Keels where Winona comes in for a really long time, and I gauge how much it rains,” Fischer said, “and I expect when I get to Keels it will either be higher, lower, full of stuff or not full of stuff. It’s sort of a barometer for how much rain we get.” He expected to see chocolate-brown water at Keels Creek, Fischer said. Instead, he saw chocolate brown water separated from clear water. “I had never seen Keels or Winona do this separated, distilled thing,” Fischer said. “I drove down Rock House as long as I could and thought, ‘Where’s all this coming from? How could that happen so quickly?’ “ It was bound to be related to some disturbance, Fischer said, but he wasn’t sure what that was. So he picked up the phone and started making some calls to the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ).
“I wanted to know what’s going on. Is this what we believe to be activity on the property?” Fischer asked. “We have, maybe, a quarry in our midst. It’s gotten complicated, and this may be a little out of order, but I’m hearing from others they suspect a quarry is going on.” The process to initiate a quarry, Fischer said, begins with a public notice in the local newspaper. He found a public notice in Carroll County News in September 2018, two months before anyone began to suspect quarrying was happening on Kings River. After speaking with an ADEQ representative, Fischer said, he learned Legacy Mining Company received five authorizations to quarry in Carroll County. “We thought until the other day, they were for here,” Fischer said, referring to the area near Rock House Road. “They’re not for here. They’re for the Ozark Southern Stone quarry at Elk Ranch. What a relief. They’re not actively able to quarry on Rock House Road just yet.” A group of local people continued to press the issue, Fischer said, and an ADEQ representative inspected the area near Rock House Road. “He would not share his results of the inspection,” Fischer said. “He said, ‘I’d rather you get the report and read it after it is edited by my superiors.’ But the bottom line is the water division has no current applications pending from Legacy Mining Company for this area off Rock House Road.” Fischer continued, “What this means is Legacy Mining Company, LLC has not
submitted an application, so there is no permit to review. This seems curious to me that an organization like Legacy has been involved at Elk Ranch and on this property north of here for six months and they haven’t filed for any water division permits just yet.” Fischer said the ADEQ representative he spoke with said it’s not usual for an organization like Legacy to move forward in this manner. Fischer reached out to a representative from Legacy in Missouri, who referred him to Scott Moore, another representative in Georgia. “[Moore] has answered some preliminary questions,” Fischer said. “He agreed he’d be willing to meet with folks when he comes back to Eureka Springs June 17.” Fischer recalled speaking with an ADEQ representative who seemed concerned with what’s happening near Rock House Road. Local activist Pat Costner said she’s concerned too, describing the effects drilling has on the river and surrounding area. “Quarrying is one of the most destructive activities,” Costner said. “It destroys the ecosystem of the area where the quarry is.” Negative effects of quarrying, Costner said, include increased sediment, water quality deterioration, land form destruction, sinkhole collapses, spring desecration and water table lowering. “All of us have to do as much as we can to protect our water resources, because it is all so fragile and vulnerable,” Costner
said. The alleged mining site is located next to the 6,000-acre Kings River Preserve owned by The Nature Conservancy. Tim Snell, associate state director of water resources for The Nature Conservancy, said the organization was attracted to Kings River for a number of reasons including the quality of the water, large expanse of land and numerous neighbors who care about the area. “The recreational opportunities … it’s a valuable industry that doesn’t ruin the land,” Snell said. “You want to think about compatibility, so what industries are compatible with the beautiful river we have here? I would say a mining operation that’s already showing huge potential for sediment is probably not a compatible industry.” Mining causes air pollution, sediment build-up and deforestation, Snell said. “It just doesn’t fit with what the community is using this area for,” he said. “What’s going on out there right now is really a lot of compatible industries working together. The recreation industry is something we’re very happy to work with. The conservancy wants to work on positive projects.” The conservancy’s goal is to maintain healthy rivers, Snell said, and Kings River definitely falls into that category. That might not be true, he said, if mining continues happening there. “There are things you can do to help protect the river and undo some mistakes See Quarry, page 3

Council approves ordinance allowing July 6 fireworks show By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs City Council exploded with debate Monday night over a proposed ordinance that would allow the city to have a fireworks show celebrating the Fourth of July. Parks director Justin Huss said the show is scheduled for Saturday, July 6, because the city saves money by waiting a few days after July 4. The fireworks will be shot from Marble Flat, Huss said, giving everyone in town a chance to see the show. Alderwoman Susan Harman asked about the city’s liability in case something goes wrong. Harman said Ordinance 2279 doesn’t specify the location where fireworks will be shot, saying that means the show can take place on city-owned or private property. “I have an issue with any fireworks being shot from private land just because of liability,” Harman said. “This particular ordinance doesn’t specify if it would be one or the other.” Alderman Terry McClung said the proposed ordinance takes care of everything the city needs to have a fireworks show. “I don’t think we can even shoot them off at Leatherwood … without having this ordinance,” McClung said. “I think this ordinance is needed in that respect. As far as personal property, I don’t have a problem with that as long as the city is indemnified on what the location is.” Harman asked city attorney Tim Weaver if the city could be held liable in case something goes awry. “Could we be held liable if something happens and it’s on private property without either a release or with the current insurance?” Harman asked. “The city has tort immunity unless we have insurance,” Weaver said, “so to purchase insurance would actually be disadvantageous to the city. Whether it’s on public or private property, we’re not liable based on tort immunity unless we do have insurance that covers it.” Alderwoman Melissa Greene asked Huss why the parks and recreation commission didn’t approve the fireworks show, and Huss said the commission discussed it at a budget meeting. “This was part of our special events line item,” Huss said. “We discussed it.” Greene asked how traffic control and notification will work, saying she’s worried guests won’t know about the fireworks and will stop their cars in
the middle of the street to view the show. “I expect it to be like a parade night traffic-wise,” Huss said. “One of the advantages … is people don’t have to go to one place to see the show. There’s not a concentration of vehicles. There’s not a viewing area. People can park like a busy Saturday night.” Greene said she’s concerned about properly notifying everyone the show is happening. For veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and people with pets, Greene said, a fireworks show can be stressful. “Pets bolt during fireworks,” Greene said. “We’re conscious of the situation with animals and PTSD. I feel pretty confident … we’re going to have this out pretty well,” Huss said. “We’d like to do some of that outreach, but it would be inappropriate until this body moves forward with [the ordinance].” McClung said he supports the proposed ordinance, and alderman Harry Meyer agreed. The fireworks will be shot from a safe place, Meyer said. “We have to have the ordinance if we’re going to shoot fireworks, and the Fourth of July is when municipalities shoot fireworks,” Meyer said. “I think we need to observe this holiday the way people do it all over the United States.” Alderman Bob Thomas moved to approve Ordinance 2279 on a third reading by title only, and the council voted 4-1 to do so. “Let’s have fireworks,” Meyer said. Also at the meeting, Mayor Butch Berry updated the council on the property at 25 Norris St. Berry said he met with representatives from Mercy Hospital who expressed interest in purchasing the property but said the building isn’t big enough for the hospital’s needs. Berry said the next step is to put the property out for bid. “It’s got to be by bid. It’s up to the council whether or not they want to accept that bid,” Berry said. McClung moved to put the building up for bid, and the council unanimously agreed to do so. In other business, the council approved an ordinance prohibiting animal suffering on a third and final reading and passed a resolution allowing a city council member to serve on the planning commission for six months or until the commission has more members. The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, June 24, at the Auditorium.

that have been done in the past,” Snell said, “but you can’t just build that once it’s gone. The biggest challenge is sediment. Keeping sediment out to the river is how you keep it healthy.” The conservancy is always more successful, Snell said, when the community supports its mission. “We want to be good neighbors,” Snell said. “I’ll bet you as this movement here gains power … people are going to take notice.

The headline read “7 diseases cost state billions, study says.” That is billions with a “B.” Arkansas has the third-highest numbers of diseases per capita, beaten only by West Virginia and Tennessee. Missouri did better than Arkansas, but the closer you get to state borders, likely more similarities occur. The seven diseases include heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, lung conditions, mental disorders and stroke. The actual dollar amount was reported to be $13.9 billion. The report said medical treatment would cost $2.6 billion, lost productivity (including missed workdays by employees and family and friends who are caregivers) as well as lower output, would reach $11.3 billion. Plus, pain and suffering –– that wasn’t mentioned. Western medicine, as it is, doesn’t do a particularly good job with these chronic ailments. They do pretty well, often stellar, when the chronic ailment causes an acute problem, like heart disease producing a heart attack, that is if you can get quick treatment and not have it bankrupt you in the process. But other than emphasizing a good diet, certain prescribed drugs and appropriate exercise, there isn’t a lot of preventive choice. This is where dietary supplements can be of benefit in a complementary way. Looking at each of the seven ailments in a holistic way we see that each of the above (with maybe the exception of mental illness) has in common chronic and internal inflammation/oxidation. Just a few dietary supple-

ments taken daily could make a lot of difference for each ailment including mental illness. The short list would include Jim Fain multivitamins, omega 3s, a wide range of natural Cox2 inhibitors (snuff out the inflammation) and antioxidants. Depending upon the ailment and symptoms, specific supplements could then be added to this base. Folks under 40 and above 18 (legalities!) benefit from the multivitamin and omega 3s while anyone over 40 years old would benefit with all three. Sometimes, there are medical reasons for not supplementing. For instance, I wouldn’t add a supplement that does the same thing as a prescribed drug without close followup. Anyone who uses a blood thinner like Coumadin or Warfarin would have to be very careful across the board. Even omega 3s might be too much, though these problems can be overcome with simple lab testing and adjusting of the drug. The three dietary products, when used daily, would improve overall nutrition, reduce disease-causing inflammation, provide antioxidant protection and nourish the brain and heart especially. When this is all done in supplement form, life should get better.

Obituaries Kevin Quinn
Kevin Quinn, 63, of Eureka Springs, Ark. passed peacefully on May 26, 2019 at Circle of Life in Springdale, Ark. He was surrounded by family and friends in the days and weeks leading up to his death, and was made comfortable by the compassionate nurses and staff who provided exceptional medical care and support throughout his journey. Kevin will be remembered by many as a “Good Man” who was always positive and rarely complained. A collector of many things, Kevin held his two antique British sports cars among his most esteemed possessions. Kevin was a loving father, loyal friend, and devoted son who will be missed by many. Kevin was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pa. He was the oldest of five siblings, three of whom preceded him in death along with his parents, Helen and James Quinn. Kevin moved to Eureka Springs
in 1981 where he opened “Julie’s Cheese Shop and Deli” and later welcomed his daughter in 1987. He served the City of Eureka Springs for 17 years in the Public Works Department – a role he loved and cherished. Kevin was proud of his work and ability to forge close friendships with many over the years. He was passionate about water conservation and waste reduction and maintained licenses in these areas more than 15 years after he retired. In leiu of flowers or gifts, the family asks all who loved Kevin remember him by being more mindful and proactive in the use of recyclable materials to minimize our negative footprint on the environment. Services including a memorial mass and graveside blessing will be held on June 21st at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church beginning at 11:00. Burial to follow at Eureka Springs Cemetery.

Community center offers yoga classes starting June 12
A comprehensive yoga program including classes in Kundalini, Hatha, Slow Flow and Chair Yoga is available at the Eureka Springs Community Center. Sukhbir Kaur offers Kundalini yoga at 5:30 p.m. every Wednesday. Blending sound, movement, breathing techniques, meditation and the chanting of mantras, Kundalini is designed to build physical vitality and increase consciousness. Hatha yoga is offered at 10 a.m. every Friday and Saturday, taught by Robin Bray. Hatha develops strength, flexibility, bodily relaxation and mental concentration. Bray also teaches Chair Yoga at 10 a.m. on Thursdays. This is a gentle form done sitting on a chair or standing while using a chair for support. It's perfect for people with limited mobility and those who want to prac-
tice yoga at work. Benefits include better flexibility, concentration, strength and reduced joint strain. Wendy Hartmann's Slow Flow class is held every Tuesday at 6 p.m. and is Vinyasa-based, using breath to guide a series of poses smoothly and seamlessly. Flow classes are created by the instructor guiding the sequence of postures so that each class is a unique creation. If you're new to yoga and not sure which class is best for you, talk to activities director Cat Luna. You may try your first class for free. For more information, visit www. EurekaSpringsCommunityCenter. org. To sign up for membership, stop by the community center or call 479239-0028. Eureka Springs Community Center members receive the lowest prices on any class offered.

Eureka Springs Community Center receives grant for summer youth program
The board of Flint Street Fellowship has given a $3,150 Back Our Kids grant to the Eureka Springs Community Center to fund the summer 2019 youth program. The program includes workshops and lunch on Wednesdays, as well as swimming at Wanderoo Lodge. Flint Street's Back Our Kids program is known by most people for the mission of providing food for school-year weekends for Eureka Springs stu-
dents in need. The other portion of the original mission of Back Our Kids is to encourage children to lead healthier lives, and the community center's summer youth program helps meet that goal. The new Flint Street management team is expanding services to the community based on feedback from community leaders and will be announcing new ways to serve Eureka Springs in the near future.
