Blues Weekend brings in the big stars

By Hanna Davis

ReporterHanna@gmail.com

The Eureka Springs Blues Weekend, a fundraiser for Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, will take place this weekend, June 12-15, and features an exciting lineup. A variety of blues musicians will perform at different venues, including the Basin Park Hotel, Basin Park, The Auditorium, and Turpentine Creek.

Among the highly anticipated acts for this year’s event include Walter “Wolfman” Washington, Chubby Carrier, and Carolyn Wonderland. Following are previews of all the acts performing as part of the festival itself; many more blues bands are scheduled to perform at clubs around town all weekend; see Lively Entertainment on Page 22 for a schedule.

Weekend passes and tickets for the event are on sale at EurekaSpringsBlues. com. Hotel and ticket packages are also available at the 1905 Basin Park Hotel and Grand Central Hotel.

For tickets, a complete schedule, to volunteer or for more information, visit www.EurekaSpringsBlues.com.

THURSDAY, JUNE 12 Brandon Santini 8 p.m. at the 1905 Basin Park Hotel Barefoot Ballroom. Doors open at 7.

Brandon Santini has moved up in the blues world with BMA nominations this year for Best Instrumentalist-Harmonica and Best Contemporary Blues Album. A well-deserved nomination, critics say, as Santini is a great harp player who hails from Memphis, the birthplace of the blues.

FRIDAY, JUNE 13 Brandon Santini Noon at Basin Park (see above) Doghouse Daddies 1:30 p.m. at Basin Park The Doghouse Daddies are from the Kansas City outskirts, and play across the Midwest at festivals and clubs. They cite Freddie King, Willie Dixon and Son Seals as prime influences. Bill Morlan plays upright bass and provides lead vocals, Brandon Skeens is the guitarist, Neil

Nolan plays the sax and Greg Schaberg kicks the drums to some great blues beats.

Brick Fields Duo 3 p.m. at Basin Park Brick Fields is the dynamic duo from Eureka Springs. Husband and wife Larry Brick and Rachel Fields love sharing their music in different places locally and nationally. Their band The Chosen Ones represented the Ozarks Blues Society of Northwest Arkansas at the International Blues Challenge earlier this year.

Danny Cox 4:30 p.m. at Basin Park After years of singing in his church choir, Danny Cox started his professional musical career as part of the Hootenany Folk Tour. Since then he has recorded for ABC Dunhill, Casablanca and MGM Records. Cox has called Kansas City home since 1963, and has been a mainstay of its music scene ever since. A co-founder of the fabled Vanguard Coffee House, he and his partner Stan Plesser managed and promoted acts like Brewer & Shipley and the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.

Walter “Wolfman” Washington 7 p.m. at The Auditorium. Doors open at 6.

Walter “Wolfman” Washington has been an icon on the New Orleans music scene for decades. Both as a sideman to artists like Johnny Adams, Irma Thomas and Lee Dorsey, and later as a solo artist, his searing guitar work and soulful vocals have defined the Crescent City’s unique musical hybrid of R&B, funk and the blues. Since forming his own band in the 1970’s, Wolfman and the Roadmasters have performed all over the world. Walter has been nominated for several Blues Music Awards and received a Lifetime Achievement Big Easy Award.

Chubby Carrier Friday night, following Walter “Wolfman” Washington, at The Auditorium Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band have recorded 10 albums over the past 22 years. They have traveled all over the world, performing to audiences across

Attempted kidnapping suspect seeks mental exam

By Hanna Davis

ReporterHanna@gmail.com

Cory Chapin, who is being held in Carroll County jail on suspicion of attempted kidnapping, appeared in court on Monday morning.

The public defender was appointed and requested a mental evaluation, which was granted, said the circuit court clerk. All proceedings are suspended until the mental examination is conducted.

Chapin, 42, had originally Cory Chapin been stopped on April 25 on suspicion of vehicle theft after his father, Charles Chapin, reported that Cory had taken his 2008 white Honda Accord as well as some prescriptions, a debit card and cash.

A search of the vehicle turned up the prescription belonging to his father as well as baggies containing alleged marijuana, handcuffs, machetes, and a plastic handgun with the red barrel painted black, police said.

While in the patrol car on his way to jail, Cory Chapin told Trooper Chad Hipps that he had “just stopped a kidnapping” and explained that he had the handcuffs in his car in order to restrain the woman he was about to kidnap (whose name is being withheld to protect her privacy), according to the police report. The woman owns a Eureka Springs business, where Chapin had been a customer a few times, he told police.

Chapin has been a Eureka Springs resident since last October, he told police.

After arriving at the Eureka Springs police station and being read his rights, Chapin was interviewed by Detective Thomas Achord. Speaking for about 45 minutes, Chapin explained he was frequently spoken to by God and discussed “how he views his name, numbers and signs given him by God,” the police affidavit of probable cause

states.

After telling Achord that God had instructed him to kill his children several years earlier, he explained that he had planned to use a hose from his van to “sacrifice” his children, but at the last minute a police officer arrived to arrest him on an outstanding warrant.

Chapin told police he read the Bible and the dictionary and he “received signs from every first, seventh and 16th word.” He insisted on explaining all of this to Achord, the police report states, and Chapin said “he had no fear so he would do anything God would tell him.”

Chapin told Achord that a few days prior, “God told him to kidnap” the intended victim, “have sex with her and make her listen to his story.” Chapin, the police report states, told Achord he “was meant to do it” and “that he would have let her go after he was done.”

So the night before, Chapin said, he had stolen some cash, medication, a debit card and the vehicle from his dad. He had just returned from a sporting goods store in Rogers where he bought a sleeping bag “to put (the victim) in while he kept her,” the police report states. Chapin told police he had the handcuffs to restrain the victim with and had painted the red barrel on the plastic gun to make it look real so he could force her to go with him.

He had been driving back from Rogers and when he passed the salon at exactly 11:09, Chapin said that was a sign meaning 911, the police report states. “He said he knew that meant something. He said there was another car in front of the (business she owned) so he drove to Leatherwood Park to wait,” and that is when police officers arrived.

Chapin also told police he had seen “shrinks” and had been diagnosed as schizophrenic and bipolar. He told Achord he just wanted someone to listen to his story and try to understand that he was “selected

by God.” He ended the interview by saying he figured he would be going to prison for kidnapping, the police report states.

New website debuts for tourism, weddings Lovely County Citizen

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Eureka Springs has a new website to promote tourism and wedding planning in town, and it’s the only all-inclusive site that will include every single business in the Eureka Springs area – and for free.

MyEurekaSprings.com, which went live recently in a “soft launch” test run, also will have the most comprehensive events calendar on the internet, including not only the major tourist events but also local meetings and other, smaller events that may not be listed online elsewhere.

Anyone can submit their information for inclusion on the website by emailing all the details and a contact for more information to MyEurekaSprings@gmail.com.

MyEurekaSprings.com is packed with all kinds of useful information and interactive functions such as those found on UrbanSpoon.com and Hotels.com in its “Dining” and “Places to Stay” sections, plus it will have an “About Eureka” Visitor Guide section, a “Things To Do” guide to local attractions, an “Outdoor Adventures” guide to the region’s outdoor activities, and a “Wedding/Honeymoon Planning” section.

Each page is linked with the social media marketing power of Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon and Google, and it will soon also feature links to TripAdvisor.com so that potential visitors can see – without ever

SWEPCO requested a partial rehearing, primarily over the question of whether its proposed Route 33, the favorite route of the utility company, was “unreasonable” as was previously decided by APSC Administrative Law Judge Connie Griffin.

STO requested a complete rehearing based on a number of laws it says SWEPCO did not follow in order to gain the approval granted by Griffin in her late January ruling. Griffin approved SWEPCO’s application to build the line but only approved Route 109, the least-favored by SWEPCO

because 25 or so miles of it goes through Missouri – a state that is seen as unlikely to OK the project within its borders, in part since the utility is not a provider in Missouri.

The APSC, in its ruling issued late Monday, focused much on the question of whether a new line is even needed in this area of the state, and basically said that SWEPCO had not presented enough evidence to prove so, much less prove that the new line needs to be the largest type in existence.

“While the evidence on need is disputed, the record in this (case) does not contain evidence that future reliability requires new or upgraded transmission facilities in Northwest Arkansas,” the ruling states.

“Considering all the evidence provided

to date, the Commission finds that, while some transmission development in the area appears warranted, 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.’

“Accordingly, the Commission grants rehearing for consideration of additional evidence on the need for, and the potential environmental impact of, the proposed 345 kV project,” the ruling continues. “The parties should provide additional testimony and more recent,

For example, MyEurekaSprings.com may soon offer placards to local restaurants who advertise on the site to encourage guests at each table to visit the site on their smartphones and “Like” their page for an instant discount – instantly spreading the word about your business to their hundreds (if not thousands!) of social media friends.

Restaurants, hotels and attractions could also send customers to MyEurekaSprings. com and ask them to leave positive reviews there via our TripAdvisor links, perhaps in exchange for an instant discount or coupon as well. MyEurekaSprings.com can help encourage this, thereby helping local businesses spread the word through social media about their guests’ positive experiences.

comprehensive evidence on whether the proposed 345 kV project is needed, whether transmission requirements in the region might be met by alternative options, such expanding, upgrading or building lower capacity facilities, including 161kV lines, and if not why not, the comparative costs associated with the options, the environmental impact of the options, and the long term sufficiency of the options.”

The Commission also granted a rehearing on the top of the routing of the proposed transmission line.

“With regard to routing, the parties should provide evidence whether existing 161 kV lines could be upgraded or existing rights-of-way used or expanded so as to limit adverse environmental impact,” the ruling states.

Larry Garner 10 p.m. at the 1905 Basin Park Hotel Barefoot Ballroom. Doors open at 9.

Larry Garner has been called the best songwriter in the blues world by the likes of Art Tipaldi, editor of Blues Music Magazine, as well as by Bill Wax, former longtime host of Sirius/XM Radio’s Bluesville. High praise indeed, but well-deserved, music critics say. His songs all tell a story, most of which are taken from Larry’s long life of playing the blues all around the world from his home base in Baton Rouge. Larry spends months at a time on the road in Europe, playing from the stages of everything from small pubs to major festivals.

SATURDAY, JUNE 14 Blues For Kids Drumming Workshop with Angelo Yao Noon at Basin Park We’ll be making and decorating drums, and teaching kids why drums are such an important part of the blues music heritage.

Buddy Shute 1:30 p.m. at Basin Park Buddy Shute was born in Memphis, where he began playing the bar scene when he was 16. Buddy drifted down to New Orleans, where he played in all the clubs, and even on a paddl-wheeler on the Mississippi.

The Ariels 4:30 p.m. at Basin Park The Ariels formed in 1978 when a group of friends in Eureka Springs discovered how much they loved making music together. The group derived their name from a 1950’s British motorbike, another passion shared by the founders. Over the years some of the faces of changed, but the joy of playing is as fresh as ever.

Lucious Spiller 3 p.m. at The Auditorium. Doors open at 2.

Lucious Spiller is an intense, flamboyant blues showman. He is equally comfortable playing the deepest, most heartfelt blues or rocking, good-time party music. His CD, aptly titled “Born to Sing the Blues.” Lucious’ star continues to rise. He has been featured in Living Blues magazine and in the documentary “True Delta,” a riveting look at the vanishing bluesmen who lived the blues in their daily lives, and their desire to pass the torch to the next generation. He was a finalist in the Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge in 2012, and in 2014, placed 2nd in the IBC’s solo and duo category, which had 101 entrants from all over the world.

Brick Fields and the Chosen Ones Saturday afternoon following Lucious Spiller at The Auditorium Brick Fields and The Chosen Ones come together with their natural approach of original Arkansas Blues using a Gospel platform as well as an Americana Soul feel. Larry Brick, on guitar and background vocals along with Rachel Fields using her ambrosial voice while playing guitar and flute, bring together a stormy performance each and every time. Add The Chosen Ones, some of Northwest Arkansas’s best musicians, and you’ve got the cure for anything. This multi-award winning musical team are definitive blues artists, although there repertoire includes originals written by both Rachel and Larry of various genres including Gospel, Roots, and Folk. The collaboration of these different genres of music touches the heart and soul of all walks of life.

Smith quits HI Planning

By Kathryn Lucariello

CCNhi@cox-internet.com

HOLIDAY ISLAND – Commissioner Frank Smith has resigned from the Holiday Island Planning Commission, members said Friday.

Smith, who had also served as a commissioner on the Holiday Island Board of Commissioners, officially took his seat on the Planning Commission in Brick Fields offer American entertainment for the young and old alike. Just like good old fashion medicine, we all need a taste of this invigorating music. The Nashville Blues Society has called Brick Fields Music an “Unleashed cleansing of the soul!” and New Music Of Tomorrow says, “Brick Fields is by far the most soulful artist I have heard in years!”

Moreland & Arbuckle Saturday early evening following Brick Fields and the Chosen Ones at The Auditorium Guitarist Aaron Moreland and harpist/ vocalist Dustin Arbuckle have spent over a decade exploring the edges of American roots music. In the process, Moreland & Arbuckle have forged a relentless and haunting sound that merges Delta blues, folk, rock, traditional country, soul and numerous other echoes and murmurs from an infinitely layered musical narrative that spans more than a century.

Carolyn Wonderland Saturday evening headliner, following Moreland & Arbuckle at The Auditorium A musical force equipped with the soulful vocals of Janis and the guitar slinging skills of Stevie Ray, Carolyn Wonderland reaches into the depths of the Texas blues tradition with the wit of a poet. She hits the stage with unmatched presence, a true legend in her time. Carolyn grew up the child of a singer in a band and began playing her mother’s vintage Martin guitar when other girls were dressing dolls. She’d gone from being the teenage toast of her hometown Houston to sleeping in her van in Austin amid heaps of critical acclaim for fine recordings Alcohol & Salvation, Bloodless

January 2003, the same time as Myrna Peterson joined. Smith accepted the position of treasurer and held it for most of his 11-year service.

Family health issues have forced his resignation, Smith said recently.

The board also discussed a sign request by the Holiday Island Baptist Church and storage building placement by property owner Joe Lawrence.

Revolution, and most recently, Miss Understood. Along with the guitar and the multitude of other instruments she learned to play – trumpet, accordion, piano, mandolin, lap steel – Wonderland’s ability to whistle remains most unusual. Whistling is a uniquely vocal art seldom invoked in modern music, yet it’s among the most spectacular talents the human voice possesses.

Fast Johnny Ricker 10 p.m. at the 1905 Basin Park Hotel Barefoot Ballroom. Doors open at 9.

From Kansas City, Fast Johnny Ricker is a blazing blues/rock guitarist and slide master. Johnny is joined by his son, Davis Ricker on bass and shared vocals, and Gary Miller on drums. Johnny’s incendiary guitar style and original song writing give a high voltage edge to Texas and Delta blues traditions. His slide playing has been favorably compared to that of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn, but his style can only be described as completely original. Over the years, Fast Johnny has performed with Bo Diddley, Son Seals, Bob Margolin, Tommy Castro, Kenny Neal, Lonnie Brooks, Mike Zito, Provine ‘Little’ Hatch, Danny Cox, Kelley Hunt, Super Chikan and opened for countless other blues legends. Steven Davis, author of “Hammer of the Gods” and music editor of Rolling Stone Magazine wrote “Catch Fast Johnny before you have to see him in a stadium somewhere. Wear flame retardant in your hair ‘cos this band is hot. Take my word for it.”

Stephen Rushing vividly remembers a moment in the summer of 1990 when he was at Opera in the Ozarks. He was in the dressing room getting ready for his performance as Schaunard in “La Boheme.” The dressing room was not air-conditioned, and it was so hot, he couldn’t get his make-up on fast enough.

“By the time I dipped back into the palette, the make-up on my face had melted off,” he said.

Steven Rushing Rushing, a baritone who was also in “Hansel and Gretel” and “Dialogues of the Carmelites” that year, has now stepped into a new role as general manager of Opera in the Ozarks. He succeeds Jim Swiggart, who retired after 25 years, but the transition has been a smooth one due to the fact that Rushing understudied Swiggart’s role as manager last season and compiled a notebook detailing the day-to-day operation.

“Now I’m reading my own manual and consulting it daily,” Rushing said.

But Rushing wasn’t sure he was the right person for the job when Swiggart approached him about it two seasons ago. More used to being on stage than off, Rushing followed his Opera in the Ozarks season with an apprenticeship at the Tulsa Opera Company.

In 1991, he won the National Federation of Music Club’s Young Artist Competition, and spent two months in Florence, studying Italian, as part of the prize. There, he met composer Thomas Dezsy, who invited Rushing to sing in the premiere of Dezsy’s opera in Vienna. Called “Jush-Tush,” it was sung in German, Greek and Filipino.

“We had a Greek soprano and a Filipino tenor,” Rushing explained.

Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Rushing describes himself as part-Cajun, part-redneck. His mother was a descendant of the first Acadian refugees from Canada. His pa-

ternal grandfather traded two oxen and a cart for farmland in Denham Spring. Rushing’s singing career started in ninth grade when music teacher Sally Norem heard his voice and recruited him for the choir. Norem also arranged for Rushing to take voice lessons at Lousiana State University from Victor Klimash.

Graduating from Istrouma High School in East Baton Rouge Parish, Rushing continued to study with Klimash at LSU, earning a bachelor of music degree in 1980. He earned an M.M. at Drake University in Des Moines, and a Doctorate of Musical Arts in vocal performance from the University of Kansas.

Through it all, Rushing, who is married and has two children, worked as a church music director for a variety of denominations. He is now the cantorial soloist at B’nai Israel Synagogue and the chancel choir director at First Presbyterian Church in Baton Rouge, where he lives with spouse Lois Kuyber-Rushing, a librarian and interim assistant dean at LSU. During the school year, Rushing teaches voice at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond. When he returns to campus this fall, he will start preparing for the title role in “Sweeney Todd” as well as singing for High Holy Days at the synagogue.

“I still perform, and I love to perform,” he said.

It was performing at an international music festival in Hong Kong in the mid-1990s that led back to Inspiration Point. While in Asia, Rushing was a guest clinician at the University of Malay, where he met a talented young singer, Ian Lim. Rushing arranged for Lim to come to the United States and study voice at LSU. Two years ago, Lim auditioned and was selected for Opera in the Ozarks, singing the role of Rodolfo in “La Boheme.”

Rushing made plans to come up to hear him. Knowing about the connection, Jim Swiggart contacted Rushing and told him he was thinking of retiring and wanted his input.

“I made the trip up and spent two days talking with Jim,” Rushing said. “He had followed my career and wanted me to consider taking over the job.”

In addition to stepping into the manager’s job, Rushing is debuting a new family role.

AT&T proposes to cut Busch cell tower height

By Kathryn Lucariello

CCNhi@cox-internet.com

In an email dated June 2, Robert Vitanza, legal counsel for AT&T Mobility on the proposed Busch 260-foot cell tower at Beaver Lake Storage, announced the company is proposing to reduce the height of the tower.

“In response to concerns about the Busch, AR tower raised by Ms. [Kristi] Kendrick and Dr. [Luis] Contreras, AT&T has been again considering the viability of the alternative locations or lowering the height of the Busch, AR tower.”

He said AT&T was unable to find an alternative location and has “determined that a tower of up to 199 feet would be sufficient and would not need FAA notice or tower registration. Therefore, AT&T will redesign the tower to a height below 200 feet and will withdraw ASR App No. A0863982.”

A check of the FCC website confirms that a tower of this height does not need registration.

Conteras, unhappy with this announcement, fired back an email to the FCC, requesting a stay.

“The Federal requirement to get approval from Native American tribes, and the environmental and public health concerns of our community are not changed by one foot,” he wrote. “AT&T’s refusal to perform an environmental assessment and the revised plan to build a 199-foot tall tower with no FCC registration is unacceptable.”

He blasted AT&T for its lack of respect for the community and residents’ concerns.

Contreras and several area residents, among them Kendrick, a local attorney, have long been protesting the tower’s construction ever since plans were announced Nov. 15 of last year by a brief legal notice and call for comments in Carroll County News.

Contreras has filed numerous documents with the FCC pertaining to environmental, health, historic, community, business practices and other concerns. Calls for an environmental review were objected to by AT&T, and FCC concurred that none was needed.

But that did not stop the protests, mainly

by Contreras and Kendrick.

In February, Kendrick submitted a Petition for Reconsideration of the project, charging AT&T with failure to follow National Environmental Protection Agency and FCC rules, but charging mainly that the Arkansas State Preservation Officer’s agreement with the FCC that there would be no negative historic impact on the community was based on “false representation

by AT&T that the only historic property within 0.75 miles of the cell tower site is the Hamlin Tourist Court. No entity has ever admitted that the historic Busch, Arkansas Post Office/Store, which is much older than the Hamlin Tourist Court, exists.”

Kendrick, her husband, Frank, and resident Mary Pat Boian then filed a joint complaint in the Carroll County Courthouse on March 6 against AT&T Mobility and Beaver Lake Storage, LLC. The suit is a “verified complaint for

public and private nuisance.”

Besides concerns about the cell tower, the complaint states that the storage buildings on the BLS property “are lit all night and produce light pollution and should be abated as a public and private nuisance.”

The complaint says the cell tower will be clearly seen from the Kendrick and Boian and other residences; an airstrip less than 1,000 feet away that has been there since 1946; the historic Busch post office and store across the street, which has been there since 1904; the view from Inspiration Point and the Castle; and Blue Spring Road.

The complaint calls this “visual pollution” and also adds noise pollution and confusion to pilots using the airstrip.

It will be “out of character with the cultural, residential, rural, historical, and scenic character of the community of Busch and be far taller than any nearby structures.”

Other concerns are a danger to nesting wildlife, light pollution, danger of aviation accident, electromagnetic pollution and loss of property values.

The complaint states the 260-foot structure is “not the least obtrusive alternatives to improving AT&T service in the area,” and that “Other wireless service providers adequately serve the community.”

Since filing the complaint, Kendrick said in-house counsel called her, asking if lowering the tower height would settle the issue.

Hooked on Fly-Fishing

New Beaver Fly Fishers club draws members at first meeting

By Jennifer Jackson

JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com

Beaver Fly Fishers is off to a flying start after holding its inaugural meeting May 12 at the Grassy Knob Community Center.

Dale Steffens, club founder, set a goal of 50 members within one year. After one meeting, the club has already has

34 members, he said. People who joined earlier were novices who were introduced to fly fishing at free classes Steffens offered. The meeting drew experienced fly fishers whose expertise will help people new to the sport, he said, especially during the club’s fishing outings and fly-tying sessions.

The next meeting is June 9. All are

welcome. The club meets at 6:30 p.m. at the Grassy Knob Community Center (adjacent to the fire station on Highway 187 near Beaver Dam) on the second Monday of each month. Meetings feature presentations by guest speakers. For more information contact Dale Steffens, club president, flyfisherdale@ gmail.com.

Guest Editorial

By Mark Reynolds

Inaction is no longer an option

B

eneath the hyperbolic rhetoric and pushback last week surrounding the new EPA regulations to limit carbon emissions is a fundamental truth that can no longer be ignored: Inaction is not an option on global warming. If critics think EPA regulations are a bad idea, they have to come up with a better one or hold their tongue.

In other words, it’s time to put up or shut up on global warming solutions.

One of the solutions that continues to get a bum rap is a fee on carbon, which Republicans routinely associate with the term “job killer.”

Beginning today, however, such unqualified claims can no longer be made. That’s because a new study from Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI), shows that a steadily-rising fee on fossil fuels, with revenue returned to households, will actually add 2.1 million jobs in the U.S. over the next 10 years while reducing greenhouse gas emissions 33 percent.

Since 1980, REMI has provided economic impact studies for governmental and private-sector clients including the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), consulting firm Ernst & Young, the California Department of Finance, the University of Michigan, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).

Translation: REMI has a reputation to uphold, and if they didn’t do quality work, they wouldn’t attract the kind of prestigious clients who seek their services.

The REMI study looked at the economic impact of a steadily-rising national fee on carbon-based fuels that returns revenue in equal shares to all households. The fee, applied at the point of extraction or import, would start at $10 per ton of CO2 and increase by $10 per ton each year. Border tariffs, to keep the global playing field level for U.S. companies and discourage off-shoring of carbon emissions, were factored in. Revenue from the tax was divided in equal shares, with one share going to each adult and one half share going to each child, up to two children per household.

By giving all the revenue back to households - which shields families from the economic impact of higher energy costs - we can allow the fee

to rise to a level that achieves the much-needed reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. By 2035, according to the REMI study, the escalating carbon fee will reduce emissions by 52 percent, putting us on track for the mid-century target of the 80 percent reductions necessary to avoid busting the “carbon budget” that limits warming to manageable and adaptable levels.

Other findings from the REMI study: • National employment increases by 2.8 million after 20 years. This is more than a 1% increase in total US employment we don’t get without a carbon fee.

• Because of improved air quality, 13,000 lives are saved annually after 10 years, with a cumulative 227,000 American lives saved over 20 years.

• $70-85 billion increase in GDP from 2020 on, with a cumulative increase in national GDP due to fee-and-dividend of1.375 trillion.

• Size of monthly dividend for a family of four with two adults in 2025 is288; in 2035 it’s396. Annually, this is3,456 per family of four in 2025.

• Electricity prices peak in 2026, then start to decline.

• Maximum cost-of-living increase by 2035 is 1.7-2.5%, depending on region.

• Real incomes increase by more than $500 per person in 2025. This increase accounts for cost of living increases.

• Electricity generation from coal is phasedout by 2025.

The significance of this study cannot be overstated: A highly respected economic modeling firm has found that a fee on carbon, if done the right way, will actually add jobs and improve the economy. This changes the whole conversation around global warming and the remedies to limit its impact.

It comes at a time when Republicans and coal-state Democrats are attacking the new EPA regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions at power plants, threatening to challenge the rules through congressional and judicial action. But such threats will prove rather empty: President Obama wields the veto pen, and EPA is currentSee Editorial, page 25

Citizens of the Week

Cné Breaux and Kevin Ruehle and his son, William, are our Citizens of the Week. We appreciate their efforts in organizing the 9th annual XTERRA triathlon and offroad bike race that took place last weekend mainly at Lake Leatherwood. This was their second year organizing the two-day event, and they’re already planning how next year can be even better. The XTERRA Eureka Springs was started

eight years ago by Nick Cross.

When subsequent organizers decided not to continue, Breaux and Ruehle stepped forward. Despite the late start, the couple set to work improving the course, which had to be re-sanctioned from scratch.

They also expanded the XTERRA to two days, bringing in even more competitors and their families to visit Eureka Springs. Good job, guys! Thanks for your hard work!

Remember the Goddess Gala, the all-women’s dance and blessing of the seeds held in April? Well, it was GREAT and brought a broad cross-section of the sisterhood together to celebrate life, eat, drink and be merry, while giving every cent from the ticket sales to help abused children at Merlin Foundation. The raffle brought in mucho bucks which were also donated to Merlin, with a super raffle planned for next year.

It was like a spiritual dinner theater as we celebrated life. Over $3,000 was given, with love, to Merlin Foundation.

Thank you to all the dear souls who contributed ideas, time, money, and treasures to this one-of-a-kind Eureka event.

All you need is love.

Elementary says thanks

A huge thank you to all parents and volunteers whose participation and donation of time has once again helped us to conclude another successful school year for our students here at Eureka Springs Elementary.

Parental attendance at Parent/Teacher Conferences has been greatly appreciated as it helps to guide our young students to greater success throughout the year;

Citizen Survey Do you think the rehearing of the SWEPCO case is a good thing or a bad thing? Why or why not? m It’s good; it shows that we still have a chance to defeat SWEPCO’s power lines. m It’s just a delay tactic and will hurt us. m Too hard to say at this point what the APSC is thinking.

a united front of teachers, parents, and their students is essential in giving every child every chance every day.

The volunteers have worked tirelessly, freely giving their time to help impact the lives of the children we all hold so dear here in Eureka Springs, a heartfelt thank you to you all. Another big thank you to parents and extended family for attendance at after hours events like Open House, Back to School Night, and Math Night.

The Christmas Program brought another capacity crowd to The Auditorium in December. We are grateful for your interest in supporting the education of the children of Eureka Springs. You are always welcome to come visit or to volunteer. Thank you again from Eureka Springs Elementary.

Crow to recuse himself because of his personal and social relationship with the Kendricks, which he did. No other judge has been appointed yet, she said.

Kendrick said her complaint is not based on the FCC review.

“The FCC review is very narrow; it doesn’t consider whether the tower is a good idea or disturbs the neighborhood,” she said. “My complaint is that it’s a private and public nuisance, which as nothing to do with the FCC, FAA or the Telecommunications Act.” As for the Native American tribes notified who might have a historical or cultural interest, they responded with letters or emails, although those responses were not posted on the FCC website project page. Those tribes were the Osage, Quapaw, Shawnee, Eastern Shawnee, Delaware/Lenape, Keweenaw Bay and Caddo.

All said that although records show their peoples traveled through or occupied the area, the cell tower site does not pose a cultural or religious threat, but that if remains or artifacts are found, they should be contacted.

Workshop by Brotherton set Velda Brotherton will be at the Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow on Saturday, June 21, for a daylong workshop with writers, from novice to experienced.

Bring your work in progress, your ideas or just a scene or two for brainstorming.

Brotherton Velda Brotherton will help with characterization, plotting, internalization, scene structure, how to use back story effectively, creating goal, motivation, and conflict, dialog, and point of view. Whatever your needs are, she can help you further your project, and if she doesn’t know the answer to your question, she can tell you where to find it.

Brotherton has taught individual workshops for the past 12 years and she taught a six-week course on romance writing through the University of Arkansas adult

education program. She has spoken at conferences with Ozark Creative Writers, Oklahoma Writer’s Federation, Ozark Writers League, Arkansas Writers Conference, and many others in the area during her 30-year writing career.

She has books published in several genres: Western historical romance, Paranormal, Mystery and women’s fiction as well as regional nonfiction and numerous short stories. Her background is in journalism where she worked as feature writer, city editor and columnist for a weekly rural newspaper. She also wrote for the Northwest Arkansas Times for several years.

Her fiction career began in earnest in 1994 when her first historical romance was published by Penguin/Topaz, and she has had many novels published since then.

The class at the Writers’ Colony, 515 Spring Street in Eureka Springs, will start at 10 a.m. and end at 5 p.m., with an hour break for lunch, which will be provided by the Colony. Fee is $45 and includes lunch. Class size is limited. Call 479-253-7444 to register or email director@writerscolony.org.

she continued. “Let’s put our city in the palm of every hand that’s interested, so that every resident, visitor and potential visitor can refer to Eureka as ‘My Eureka Springs!’”

MyEurekaSprings.com listings for local restaurants, hotels and outdoor activities are still being completed this week and are expected to be finalized by next week. Any local business that finds an error in their free listing should email MyEurekaSprings.com with the details so it can be fixed online.

“Our goal is to be the go-to website for Eureka tourism as well as for residents trying to decide where to have dinner, what to do this weekend, or where to book a room for their visiting family,” she noted. “There is some competition, but since most other websites charge businesses to be included, none of them are all-inclusive and none of them are linked so closely with social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter and TripAdvisor.

It’s time for Eureka Springs to enter this century of technology and make the most of free, interactive, online tools that social media offers us for marketing ourselves.”

through Google and other popular search engines by our Search Engine Optimization and web-building team — are endless and uber-exciting,” said site creator and editor Kristal Kuykendall. “We hope local businesses who are tired of being asked for money to be included in local and even ‘official’ websites will be as eager to partner with us as we are to get their business listed in our free informational sections.

Links advertising the new site will be permanently placed on the websites of both the Citizen and the Carroll County News, helping drive traffic to MyEurekaSprings.com; those sites together reach more than 150,000 unique users per month. Facebook ads also will be utilized soon to help spread the word about the new website.

“The future of marketing and tourism growth is clearly in the Internet and in social media, and with MyEurekaSprings.com, that future has arrived in Eureka Springs,”

The large crowd gives L. Kai Robert and Bob Harris a standing ovation as they come on stage after the viewing of their documentary.

By Jennifer Jackson

JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com

The premiere of a feature-length documentary about Eureka Springs’ creative community drew an almost full house to the Auditorium Saturday night, and earned a standing ovation from the audience.

“It’s an amazing gift for Eureka Springs,” said Sandy Martin, head of the city’s Arts Council, the premiere sponsor.

“Eureka! The Art of Being” was directed and co-produced by Kai Robert, who lives in Eureka Springs. He and executive producer Bob Harris answered questions after the screening. Co-producer Sally Pace Smith was unable to attend the premiere.

The documentary featured interviews with 13 artists in Eureka Springs, including Gary Eagan, Doug Stowe, Blakeley Wilson, Mary Springer, Larry Mansker, Valerie Damon and Julie

Kahn Valentine. Interviews with the artists were prefaced with information about their background and illustrated with family photographs. One comment from the audience: “I have lived in Eureka for 40 years, and the film let me know the artists so much better.”

Another person said “Your film itself was art.” Harris, who has a media production company in Jonesboro, said that Robert has more ideas for films set in Eureka Springs.

“It was a reward to produce everything here in Eureka,” Harris said. “It’s a reflection of the abundance of talent in this area.”

Robert, whose company, Quiet Center Films, is based in Eureka, said the producers will be submitting the documentary to regional film festivals, and are in talks with AETN. Pre-orders for the DVD are being taken. For more information: EurekaTheArtofBeing.com or Quiet Center Films (Kai.Robert@cox.net).

The monthly Drumming Circle was held in Basin Park on Saturday. The circle was moved up one hour to a start time of 5 p.m. this month, which threw a few off. The move was organized to accommodate the viewing of “Eureka!, the Art of Being” a new documentary showing at 7 p.m. at The Aud. This month, many locals who never, or rarely, turn out for the circle were on hand drumming and dancing along with the beat. A handful of tourists found their way into the core of the circle to be met by organizer Angelo Yao; dancing ensued. There was also a young group from a wedding party at the Basin Park Hotel that weaved themselves into the core to dance and take some great photos – that will likely not be forgotten anytime soon.

The 2014 Xtrerra Eureka Springs festival was held on Saturday and Sunday at Lake Leatherwood amid the severe weather chances. The courses were wet and muddy and the various trees and rocks that had to be navigated over were quite slippery – making for an even more challenging race. Below right was the official start of the triathlon on Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. Two waves of racers plunged into the cool waters of Lake Leatherwood for the half-mile swim. Below left is Jamie Clark as he grits his teeth and barrels through the water hazard during the 7.25-mile bike race.

Dr. Pat Carr is our new Program Coordinator!

ou’ve already self-published a book or books. You’re writing all the time and have your story well underway.

You want to write a story, but you’ve never written before.

Can the Village Writing School help you write better and get published?

There’s a delicate balance in designing and offering a program in creative writing that is both accessible to the most timid beginner and robust enough to offer new information and approaches for “established” writers.

Since I’m not published in any big way, an established writer might wonder: what can she teach me? That’s a valid question, and I don’t resent it. I try to bring in teachers of the highest caliber: literary writers who have won major awards; feature writers who publish regularly in magazines and newspapers like the Boston Globe; writers of well-known television series and movies; New York agents and publishers of all kinds.

But these visiting teachers, while they share knowledge and techniques on the craft of writing, as well as inside stories about publishing, do not create a “program” that covers all major aspects of writing. For that, we need someone who can plan out the program and return regularly to teach it. Someone with a passion for helping people tell their stories in the most beautiful and the most publishable way. And who will work for what we can afford to pay. Someone credentialed but not in an academic ivory tower.

Someone published in top anthologies and journals and who regularly wins prestigious awards.

Why a Train Ride?

The Village Writing School offers high-quality instruction in creative writing while letting you have fun in the process. When Paula Morell scheduled her Tales from the South oral storytelling workshop for us in Rogers, we looked for a venue that was different, folksy, and fun. Why not a big ol’ train car? With a ride thrown in?

Trains have always evoked exotic places, exciting journeys, and a kind of untethered immersion in the world at large.

Just the stuff of great stories. While we

won’t be taking the Orient Express, we will have a fun prelude to Paula’s great workshop on crafting and presenting a story.

The train will be waiting for you at 1st and Popular in historic Rogers. We’ll depart at 1:00 pm on Sunday, June 22. Register on line at VillageWritingSchool.com or call 479 292-3665 for more information.

Join us for a fun learning journey. What passes by your window just might spark a story.

American Legion Walker-Wilson Post 9 announces flag dedication A project that began in the fall of 2013 is coming to completion with the dedication of a new American flag installation at the top of Planer Hill (intersection of U.S. Highways 62 and 23) in Eureka Springs.

The new 40 foot flag pole has been installed and a new American Flag will be raised in an official Flag Day ceremony next Saturday, June 14, at 2 p.m.

Included in the short ceremony will be an address by recently installed American Legion Walker-Wilson Post 9 Commander Mike Warkentin, a presentation of the new flag to the city of Eureka Springs.

The location is significant because Planer Hill is considered by many as the main entrance to Eureka Springs’ historic downtown district and is in fact the town’s Main Street.

This project has been spearheaded by the American Legion Walker-Wilson Post 9, and was started by the urging of a local citizen, John Murphy, who felt the city was remiss regarding a lack of U.S. flag presence in Eureka Springs, particularly on major national holidays such as Me-

morial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Veterans Day, Pearl Harbor Day, and others. A fundraising drive was conducted to pay for the flag project and some construction services were donated.

The American Legion wishes to thank Mayor Morris Pate and City Alderman Mickey Schneider for their support, the Eureka Springs Transit Authority, Mike and Dale Bishop and the Pine Mountain Theater for fundraising, Fanning Tree Service, Rocking W Construction and Holloway Construction for their donated assistance on the construction and installation, and of course all the people who donated to make this project a reality.

Everyone is invited to attend.

“We hope our community will come celebrate this special day. The installation of this flag represents the honor and respect Eureka Springs holds for our veterans, current and future service men and women. It also serves as a reminder of the freedoms for which it stands,” stated Mike Warkentin, Walker- Wilson Post 9 Commander.

Jason Tennant is appointed to Cornerstone Bank board

417-271-3883 The Hottest Coolest Spot on Table Rock North Shore between Eagle Rock & Shell Knob. www.bigmmarina.com

EUREKA SPRINGS – Charles T. Cross, president and CEO of Cornerstone Bank, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jason Tennant, the local bank’s executive vice president/chief lending officer, to the Governing Jason Tennant Board of Directors.

Tennant was elected to the board at the bank’s recent annual stockholder’s meeting. He has been with the bank since 2012 and oversees the bank’s executive

management team and day to day operations.

Cross stated, “Jason has been a tremendous addition to our bank since day one and provides outstanding leadership for our management team and entire staff.

Our bank continues to grow under his direction and I feel he will bring those same attributes to our bank’s already astute and professional board of directors.”

Cornerstone Bank is a Carroll County-based institution which has been experiencing tremendous growth in recent years. The institution currently has four locations in Eureka Springs, Holiday Island and Berryville and recently announced their intentions to expand into Madison County with a new facility in Huntsville.

The Natural Way Stay cool and safe in summer

T

he heat of summer is coming.

Is it global warming causing Jim Fain you to sweat or is it just the dog days of summer? Global warming is about the Earth adjusting herself and we can’t do very much about the higher temperatures and humidity, though doing what we can individually is a good thing. We all need to do the little things that we can on the big level to help all of us survive the adjustment. However, we can attend to our physical needs when we sweat too much.

The skin is our largest organ. Taking good care of it should be a no-brainer but most of us just take it granted.

Beyond the very long list of all that it does it houses the sweat glands. Sweat glands regulate our body temperature. The skin also helps us detox through our ability to sweat.

There is a part of the nervous system which is responsible for releasing perspiration throughout the body. This is the body’s natural method of cooling itself down during active periods (such as exercise), exposure to warm conditions or worrying too much. A person with a medical condition called hyperhidrosis experiences uncontrolled sweating. Those who suffer from this condition are faced with major challenges every day.

Body salts move from the inside of our bodies to the outside and accumulate on the skin. We need the salts on the inside for our other body systems to work properly.

When these are depleted we have muscle cramps, headaches, heart problems, lethargy and difficulty thinking.

Supplements used to put the salts back into our system are called essential electrolytes and are blends of minerals.

A good electrolyte blend (mineral blend) would include sodium, potassium and magnesium as well as calcium, zinc, chromium and vitamin C. Of course hydrating with water is needed to get the salts back into your system. Don’t overdo water but be sure you have enough.

Just lightly pinching the skin on the back of your hand can tell you if you are hydrated enough. If the skin stays up or slowly goes back down then you need to drink more water. If it goes down quickly, you are fine.

Stay cool this summer, pay attention to the world around you but don’t sweat about anything, too much.

The Blues is busting out all over!

I

t’s Blues Weekend, and there are lots of great local and regional blues bands at venues all over town all weekend. But if I had a to choose one local dive to see some great blues, I’d choose Chelsea’s Corner Cafe & Bar, which has not just one but two stellar groups performing both Friday and Saturday – and one of those bands is starting early with a Thursday night show as well.

THURSDAY Earl & Them, which performs Thursday at Chelsea’s at 9 p.m. and again Friday from 5 to 9 p.m., is led by the infamous Earl Cates of The Cate Brothers; he was listed in Steve Cropper’s Top Ten Guitar Players of All Time, after gaining fame with his twin Ernie as The Cate Brothers.

Writing and performing music for five decades, he has a unique style of playing that sets him apart, and his level of experience and professionalism is unmatched. He’s played and toured with Levon Helm and The Band, Cros-

by Stills and Nash, Bo Diddley, Little Feat and many others. His bands have shared the stage with Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Boz Skaggs, Lynyrd Skynyrd and many other rock legends of our time.

And, we would be remiss if we did not note the outstanding vocalist who sits in with Earl and Them frequently, Baby Jason, and the band’s excellent bassist, John Davies, who previously toured the globe with the Michael Burks Blues Band. What a group of amazing musicians!

Chelsea’s is now non-smoking and open to all ages; admission is $5.

FRIDAY & SATURDAY Patrick Sweany will use his vast musical and songwriting talents to fill up “the spaces in between” during two performances at Chelsea’s, one at 9:30 p.m. Friday and one from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday.

On any given night (or any given album), Sweany will swing through a number of

LARGEST SELECTION OF

VINTAGE WINES

Tickle Me Tuesdays!

genres: blues, folk, soul, bluegrass, maybe some classic 1950s rock, or a punk speedball track. He’s a musical omnivore, devouring every popular music sound of the last 70 years, and mixing ‘em all together seamlessly into his own stew.

But the one thing most people notice about Sweany isn’t his ability to copy — it’s his authenticity. Like his heroes, artists like Bobby “Blue” Bland, Doug Sahm, Joe Tex, Sweany somehow manages to blend all of these influences into something all his own.

After four critically acclaimed albums (two produced by longtime collaborator and Grammy winner Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys), Sweany has expanded his touring radius to 49 states and the UK. He’s played premiere festivals all over the U.S., and supported national acts such as The Black Keys, The Gourds, The Wood Brothers, Wayne Hancock, Hot Tuna, and Paul Thorn on tour.

Admission is $5 (a steal for this level of talent and respect for a musician) and it’s open to all ages. Chelsea’s Corner is located at 10 Mountain St., 479-253-6723.

Dispatch

was a false alarm.

11:42 a.m. – A caller downtown reported hearing a strange high-pitched alarm sound.

An officer responded, and couldn’t exactly locate the origin of the sound but determined that it wasn’t coming from a business or an electrical transformer. I’m sensing some extraterrestrial communication going on here.

Would not be the first time, no doubt.

1:55 p.m. – A caller reported that his neighbor threatened to shoot him while intoxicated last night. An officer responded to take a report. Talk about taking neighborly disputes to a new low!

11:27 p.m. – A complainant at the Joy Motel advised that he had a guest that was very loud. An officer responded and advised the subject that if police were called again he would have to leave. The guest was just So Happy!! that he couldn’t keep it down.

Ha. June 5 8:48 a.m. – A subject came to the ESPD to confess that he had broken into the East Side Christian Church, and he was arrested for burglary. Now that is what you call getting angry with God. 2:58 p.m. – A caller reported a vehicle broken down at Spring and Main. An officer responded and the vehicle was towed.

5:03 p.m. – A neighbor yelled at a girl working at a local restaurant. The waitress came by the police department and gave a statement.

June 6 7:27 p.m. – Shopowners advised that the trash bins on Spring and Main were already overflowing. Public Works said they’d get it taken care of. Be classy, not trashy, Eureka.

Commentary Continued from page 10

ly batting 1.000 with challenges before the Supreme Court.

If Republicans and some Democrats are serious about avoiding new regulations - and the expansion of government that comes with it - they have one recourse: Enact a market-based solution that is revenue-neutral.

With carbon fee-and-dividend, they have a solution endorsed by no less than former Reagan Secretary of State George Shultz.

Other conservative economists, like George W. Bush economic adviser Greg Mankiw, also support a revenue-neutral fee on carbon. They see it as the most efficient and

effective way to bring down greenhouse gas emissions because it corrects the distortion in the marketplace that leaves polluters unaccountable for the real cost of fossil fuels.

Correct this distortion, they say, and the free market will work its magic.

For those seeking for an alternative to EPA regulations, look no further. Excuses for inaction, lame as they were to begin with, are now neutralized, thanks to the REMI study.

Continued from page 8

On March 20, two months before he came to the Inspiration Point this year, the Rushings’ daughter, Johanna, who is married and lives in London, gave birth to their first grandchild, Mia. On May 21, three days after he came to Inspiration Point, son Anthony and his wife had twin sons in Baton Rouge. Because of the exigencies of his job, Rushing has not seen any of his grandchildren in person, but is planning a road trip to Baton Rouge when his schedule permits. He won’t see Mia until his job, which includes overseeing two youth music camps at Inspiration Point, is over.

“I plan on being here until August 6, at which point I’ll hop a plane to London to see my first grandchild,” he said. “It’s my first year as general director and my first year as a grandfather.”

Rushing said he accepted the job as general manager of Opera in the Ozarks to pass along some of the knowledge and experience he’s gained to the younger generation. His debut as manager coincides with the installation of an air-conditioning system in the amphitheater, making all the buildings on the Inspiration Point campus air-conditioned – including the dressing rooms.

16 aircraft visit Eureka Springs, Aviation Cadet World

On May 23, 16 big-tire aircraft, mostly SuperCubs, arrived at Silver Wings Field, the airport at Eureka Springs located at Aviation Cadet World. They are part of a group of pilots who enjoy going to out-of-the-way airports.

These folks chose Silver Wings because of its great beauty and great grass runway, and they said they were extremely impressed by the large variety of historical aviation-related display items housed at Aviation Cadet World museum. They plan to come back often and promote our airport and Cadet World to dozens of other similar groups, they said. All of the pilots who visited are very skilled, flying very tight patterns so as to not fly over any land but that owned by Aviation Cadet World or its owners, the Severes. “Seeing all those planes come in was really a great sight!” Errol Severe said later.
