2007 gathering news articles here.

i found this quote in this article about the suit,

http://www.suntimes.com/lifestyles/religion/457938,CST-NWS-relrain06.article

, an just had to go what the fuck???????????????/


The Rainbow Family has long refused to sign the permits, saying they are not an organized group, the lawsuit said.

Nenninger is ''a practitioner of a sincerely held religious belief that autonomous intuition of what good samaritan deeds do enhances miraculous karmic archangel protection for practitioners of peaceful voluntary cooperation within this life, and for perpetual evolution of religious freedom from institutional and governmental control beyond our individual lifetimes,'' the lawsuit said.

yep hes a rainbow with a lawsuit.. have to see how this one plays out. . but ya know how it gos,, who knows where these "karmic archangel's" will let this one wind up..

 

Miraculous karmic archangel protection enhancement...Doesn't Smilin' Bob sell pills for that?

 

I get the impression that the editors of the Daily Times are about as fed up with USFuSs as the rest of us are. Someday, They'll learn that if They really want the locals to hate us, They'll leave us alone.


(get) Over the Rainbow
An Editorial
07/08/2007




Thirty-two years ago a relatively unknown group of largely left over hippies from the Vietnam war era gathered in Marion County near the Buffalo River for a little 'R&R'.


You know, a time to get close to Nature, breath in the fresh Ozark Mountain air and just kick back for a few days.
Ah, life at a Rainbow Family Gathering.
We covered that gathering just like we did last week's annual event which happened in the Ozark National Forest south of Jasper. Back in 1975 the group was much smaller and best as we can recall, the newspaper headlines centered around a large group of young people who just preferred to go "au natural." They seemed to be more of a nuisance than a problem, and eventually faded into the forest.
Last week an estimated crowd of about 6,000 Rainbow Family members, with associated vehicles and dogs, slogged through the rain and mud along a desolate Forest Service road, all the while dodging a few hundred rangers, deputies and other law enforcement personnel.
During the (unofficial July 1-7) event, some even got an added bonus with a trip to Deer to talk with a federal magistrate for not being quite as nice as the rangers would expect. A little marijuana; not enough lights on the car; that outstanding warrant you forgot back in New Jersey. Not a problem. Nothing that a $50 fine and $35 court cost can't take care of. Pay the piper and it's back to the party.
A lot about nothing you say?
Don't tell that to the U.S. Forest Service Rangers who have been staging this Incident practice for weeks now from a downtown hotel in Ft. Smith. We know. We saw them there.
The way it's been explained, the Forest Service is trying not only to keep the peace in Newton County, but to use this group as a training exercise for officers. Should a real disaster on a large scale happen, those officers will have the experience necessary to deal with a big crowd of people - naked or otherwise.
And we doubt the good folks of Newton, Madison and Johnson counties will lose much sleep when the "Family" heads back to Walla Walla, Tucumcari and other points afar.
But no matter what, it has been something to talk about, hasn't it?
There have been numerous stories floating about concerning Rainbow activity. We've been trying to either confirm or dispel those rumors, too.
Just last week, it was said that either spinal meningitis or hepatitis were running rampant through the camp.
As it turned out, there had only been one person taken to a hospital to be treated for bacterial meningitis. And that word came from a United States Forest Service spokesman who wouldn't mind telling a tale of hundreds of cases were it true.
There were stories of stores along Highway 21 being looted or outright robbed, none of which were true. In the Madison County Record, editor Kyle Mooty wrote that a group of Family members were suspected of making a big mess in the bathrooms at Wal-Mart and a local restaurant. That's a disgrace.
Next year, the Family will choose another community and those people will have just as much to talk about. We wish them luck.

ROTFLMAO!!

The funny thing about this lawsuit is that there was no permit signed this year.

Makeshift courtroom processes Rainbow cases

​

Sunday, July 8, 2007 3:56 PM CDT
​

DEER, Ark. _ The judge presided from a folding table. In the parking lot, people played banjos and sang _ and defendents worked out plea deals with the prosecutor under a tree.
​

The Rainbow Family has been holding its annual peace gathering in Newton County, and the U.S. Forest Service set up a temporary U.S. magistrate court at its work center, in the woods about 15 miles from the main Rainbow camp near Fallsville.

The Rainbow gathering, with roots in the hippie era, draws thousands from around the country to a national forest site each year to pray for peace and celebrate love. The crowd peaked Wednesday at 6,000, according to the U.S. Forest Service.

Magistrate Judge James Marschewski heard 65 cases over four days, most involving traffic, health, alcohol and marijuana violations. Most defendants pleaded guilty or no contest, but Danielle Ramirez decided to represent herself on a charge of having a broken brake light on her van.

Marschewski found Ramirez guilty, fining her $100 plus $35 court costs. She said she'd prefer jail time.
​

"Can I sit it out instead?" the blue-haired Ramirez asked.

"If you don't pay in 30 days, you'll sit it out, Miss Ramirez," the judge replied.

All the cases involved misdemeanors, and not many included possible jail time. Most defendents received fines similar to what Ramirez was given.

As of Thursday, the Forest Service had issued 361 Rainbow-related citations, spokesman Denise Ottaviano said. Also, she said 79 arrests were made for offenses including disorderly conduct, drugs, interference with law enforcement officers and outstanding warrants.

Ottaviano said the Forest Service has been holding remote courts near Rainbow gatherings for four or five years, so defendants _ many of whom are from out of state _ can have their court dates quicker than usual.

Don Wirtshafter, a Rainbow and an attorney from Ohio, gave free counsel to some Rainbows outside the work center. Defendants weren't entitled to a public defender because most of the cases weren't punishable by jail.

"Most of these cases are ridiculous and under other circumstances tickets would have never been issued," Wirtshafter said.

Wirtshafter said he represented dozens at last year's Rainbow gathering in Colorado. He said the court there was much was worse than this one.

"They had people sitting in the dirt," Wirtshafter said. "There was no water or facilities. This is the Taj Mahal compared to that."

Wirtshafter represented himself last week on a citation for marijuana possession. He asked for a trial, and Marschewski set trial for Monday in U.S. District Court in Harrison.

End of the Rainbow
The Forest Service says the Rainbow Gathering is winding down, with about 1,000 of a crowd of 6,000 remaining on land near Fallsville in the Ozarks National Forest.

The news release gives the summary. About 1 in 15 participants got a ticket or was arrested. Selective enforcement against hippies? Sounds like it, and not just from the stats but from letters, blog comments and newspaper accounts.

Comments
I completely agree. We live in the area and visited the gathering site 3 times. Each time, law enforcement, while being rude to us, let us on through after confirming that our insurance, registration, and dl info was in good order. One officer even made the comment that they didn't want to hassle the locals too much. Well, sorry, but I was hassled. I was disgusted by their obvious abuse of power and the fact that they were rude and condescending didn't help their cause. Was law enforcement needed in the area? Of course, any gathering that large needs to be policed, but a mandatory checkpoint going in and coming out that lasted through the entire gathering was wrong. We had a taillight out. We are locals, so we got a warning. If we had been hippies, we would have been cited, and our car would have been searched from top to bottom. I witnessed officers pouring out containers and bags of food while they searched one vehicle. The Rainbows were all very friendly and helpful. I did not meet one single rude hippie while I was down there. The area was also kept very clean. In fact the only thing I saw on the ground besides rocks were a few orange peels. The place was cleaner than the county road I live on! I think that says something about the peaceful people that gathered in Fallsville! I wish that there were more people like the Rainbows in this area!

The whole way the USFS and the local police (even for Newton County, albeit I suspect that most of the harassment occurred on AR-21 in Johnson County, where the police don't have much else to do) was abysmal. Sure there are attendees who want to go into the woods and take a few hits of LSD. Sure there are going to be random acts of stupidity, but does that mean that they need to stop and check every person driving thru the area?

I had a co-worker leaving the state whom wanted to go drive around and see the back roads of Arkansas on the 4th. Orignally I had recommended he drive up AR-7 to AR-16 to AR-23 and down to Mt. Magazine via Ozark and Paris, but then I remembered that he would be driving a Lexus with out of state tags right in the middle of that colossus of police-state-dom that seems to be the norm these days -- mandatory traffic stops, etc. I assumed (probably correctly) anyone driving in that area with California tags would be a target for police abuse, even if it was just on a sightseeing tour. It is one thing to ensure that the rules are followed at the site (ensuring that the forest is not harmed, etc), but to cause undue harm onto law-abiding parties is unacceptable in the aims of catching someone breaking a (in my opinion pointless) minor drug regulation in the attempt to pad the coffers. I wonder how many of my tax dollars went to ensure some hippies didn't have busted out tail lights or a joint? Just the gas between the 'National Incident Management Team' base of Fort Smith (why? Do they need Best Buy and Dillards that bad? - stay in Clarksville or Russellville) probably cost us the tax payer several thousand dollars so they could write a few hundred tickets, most of which were adjudicated for under two-hundred dollars, including court costs.

If every american on vacation were placed under the same scrutiny the entire time... there would be far more than 1 in 15 alchohol related tickets or arrests alone, much more everything else from having ones papers and or taillights in order..

The road to fascism is paved with with additional security measures..

What those counties need is a few lawsuits on top of what it cost them to create a temporary police state.

the police state sux....i view the shakedown situation being inflicted upon my rainbow friends to be a desecration of the bill of rights!!! therefore we are seeing the first amndment being trampled under foot

Goodbye Rainbow people. Sorry you found out there are a lot of assholes in Arkansas. We used to be a friendly place, accepting of others and all and that was back when we didn't much like black folks.

Police state is a good term for how we live these days. Every time I pump some gas that I must pay for in advance, a picture of a badass state trooper stares at me from the side of the pump and says something about murdering my kids if I drive off without paying for my gas.

Now, since I have to pay in advance.....it would be a real neat trick to figure out how to steal it. Guess I could take my fancy Buddy Epson printer and counterfeit me some money ahead of time.

My big old truck weighs 2 tons, but if I don't wear a seatbelt some cop will give me a ticket while a whole pack of dudes ride by on their motorcycles without helmets.....makes perfect sense to me.

No.....there ain't much natural about the Natural State if a pack of hippies go out in the woods and get harassed by the law every day. Good thing none of the Rainbow people were retarded or they would have been sure to be shot dead.

The term National Forest...sorta implies to me it's owned by all of us. But looking at the treatment the Rainbow people got...I have to think it really means National Forests are only for clean cut Christian Republicans.

Oh well....just another place to mark off my list. Just another showing that Arkansas ain't that far removed from 1957. We're looking bad again.

one reason we do this is to utilize our right to assemble,, thanks to the brothers & sisters who did come,,, and thanks to ya'll folks for kind words for our family. Love to the Warriors of Light, Pirates, Lovin Ovens!!!! Ya'll rocked! wish I knew how to keep in touch with Green Light! Dont wanna wait a whole other year!

Sweetness & Light,,,,

 

I, along with what seems to be at least 4000-5000 other folks, was exercising my right not to go camping in a hot, humid, poison ivy infested mudhole that was overrun with cops, . If We the People continue to vote with our feet this way, perhaps the "National Family" will realize that there is a certain amount of nonsense up with which we will not put.

 

touch'e,, of course, one thing we all have is an opinion. I thought I was very tolerant, I learned more tolerance, but this is my path. I understand your and the other 5000 need not to deal with such hardship. Thing is, it was still beautiful. Happy Day Brother*

Expectations for trouble and drama ran high as the colorful Rainbow Family clan gathered last week in the woods north east of Franklin County last week. Rumors, too.

It's been a tough job separating facts from rumors about the "Rainbow Family" gathering in the Ozark National Forest near Fallsville last week, said National Forest Service Information Officer and "rumor control" specialist, Scott Roberts.

Despite the Rainbow Family of Living Light's new-age name and its claim as the "largest non-organization of non-members in the world," the group defies most stereotypes, said Roberts.

"It's been very surprising to see the cultural diversity of people attending the week long event. We've had doctors, lawyers, engineers, environ- mentalists and mainstream religious groups, as well as metaphysical new-agers, hippies and gypsies," said Roberts. Most seemed peaceful and respectful of the land, said Roberts. Many greeted each other and outsiders equally with warm smiles and peace signs, said a photographer from Hartman.

On the morning of July 4, most participants kept a silent prayer vigil until noon. The photographer said it was "really spooky" being surrounded by thousands of seemingly unorganized people without hearing any talking."

Despite rumors to the contrary, 'dumpster diving' and shoplifting have not been big problems, said Roberts, who made a tour of local businesses and communities impacted by the event. One area shopkeeper said she was happy to have the extra business, while others saw no impact. The only major complaints Roberts heard was the over-use of bathroom facilities and that some Rainbow family members seemed to need a hot, soapy shower.


One rumor, that certain "Rainbows" had washed their hair under produce water misters so the fruit and vegetables would be thrown out, is untrue. According to an office worker at Harvest Foods in Clarksville, where the hair washing incident allegedly took place, it "never happened."

Another food rumor, that Rainbows had eaten produce before it was purchased at that same Harvest Food

Store, "happened only once," said Gregory. "We did put up a sign warning shoppers not to eat food before paying for it, after one man ate a peach. Otherwise, there weren't any problems. Actually, Rainbows purchased quite a bit of groceries," he added.

A manager from WalMart in Clarksville, said there was "not a bit of problem" from the influx of Rainbow goers. At the Clarksville bus station and Shell gas station at I-40 exit 57, the manager said although hundreds of people from as far away as England and Germany landed at the bus stop enroute to the event, he had not encountered any problems.



Rumors often disguise reality, too. "Judging from everything we heard (about the Rainbow gathering), we expected our jail to be full," said County Sheriff, Jimmy Dorney. Instead, "everything has been very calm and less than 10 arrests have been made, mostly for loitering or panhandling," said Dorney on Thursday. He also said many Rainbow goers had shopped at local stores and this helped the local economy.

Another rumor, that some Rainbows had attempted to camp near the Mulberry River but were kicked out, is untrue.

According to the group's original "non-plan", a permit was issued to have part of the "family" camp near Shore Lake by the Mulberry River. Being "very democratic" the group decided not to use the facility, so the gathering did not materialize, said a National Forest Service employee in Ozark.

With 6,000 people gathered in a 70-acre area of the Ozark National Forest for up to a week or more, accidents and incidents were bound to occur.

To combat problems and keep the "love" flowing, the Forest Service and several county, state and national agencies supplied over 100 people, some with holiday pay. A National

Incident Management Team (NIMT) was assembled to command the operation. GPS tracking was done of the site to insure personnel could get to problem spots quickly, added Roberts.

Unfortunately, there were some medical emergencies, said Roberts. The most severe health problem was one confirmed case of infectious meningitis, said Larry Morse, Administrator of Johnson Regional Medical Center. Morse estimated three or four patients were seen in emergency every day, some suffering from snake bites and falls, said Morse.

Another rumor, that E-Coli food poisoning had occurred was unknown to the local health officials interviewed and not substantiated by AR Dept of Health, who monitored the event.

One woman did suffer from a serious allergic reaction to poison ivy, and many people, not used to the local insects here, were bothered by tick and chigger bites, said Roberts. No drug over-doses were reported, he added, although this may have been managed internally, as the Rainbow group had their own medical facility at the site, the Center for Alternative Living Medicine.

To handle unlawful behavior, a temporary remote court was set up at the Forest Service Work Center in Deer. As of July 7, 370 violation notices and 89 arrests were made.

Violations included public nudity, drug and alcohol violations, disorderly conduct, interference with law enforcement officers, outstanding warrants, and many traffic and vehicle violations. US Magistrate Judge Marchewski heard approximately 65 cases and issued 39 warrants for failure to appear.

Some rumors are proving true, however. These mainly impact the land.

Parking was a problem of nightmare proportions, said Roberts. Thousands of cars, from beat up hippy busses to luxury vehicles bearing license plates from all over the US were jammed into berms and ditches along the narrow 3 mile service road to the main encampment or parked along AR Hwy 21. Many vehicles became mired in the mud and muck from heavy rains and had to towed out, scaring the road sides with their struggles. Some vehicles will probably be abandoned.

"One of our primary environmental concerns is soil impaction. When the ground is heavily trampled, vegetation can take years to start growing back. Recent rains also caused some areas to become huge mud holes," said Roberts. Damage to live trees and other vegetation used for firewood and other purposes will also have to be accessed, said Roberts.

Another impact on the environment is water pollution. As the only permanent on-site water source available to Rainbow campers and participants, a tributary to the Buffalo River was used for bathing and boiled for consumption. Because of this, a Forest Service Hydrologist tested the water daily.

Most sanitation facilities were primitive latrines and ditches. Heavy rains probably washed some waste products and other refuse into the river, said Roberts. The impact on the aquatic eco-system of the near-pristine Buffalo River may be compromised, he added. Land based wildlife whose homes were disturbed by the gathering will also be affected, he said.

One televised rumor, that the group did up to one million dollars in environmental damage to the forestland may be overstated. According to Roberts, the NIMT team has a budget of $750,000, not including personnel cost to rehabilitate the site. Roberts said the teams budget is more than he expected, judging from the damage he saw at the site.

As the group camped in hilly forested terrain, rather than in an open meadow or field as they usually do, the damage is harder to access, said Roberts.

Getting rid of the garbage and rehabilitating the site will still be a major undertaking, although Rainbow organizers promised to provide a clean-up crew to lessen the gathering's environmental impact.

The Forest Service distributed a rehabilitation plan to assist Rainbow family members and Forest Service personnel with trash removal, obliteration of user-created trails, filling and covering silt trenches and latrines and dismantling man made structures. The rehabilitation plan is expected to be completed by August 8.

Roberts said along with garbage and deserted vehicles, a few of the many dogs at the gathering will probably be abandoned at the site. However, as a few hundred members are still camped there, it may take weeks to get an accurate count.

"This is public land paid for by tax dollars, so the land is open to anyone. We tried to respect their (Rainbows) right to do that," said Roberts. The Rainbows seemed to show respect for the land, too, he added. Some deer camps have suffered far more eco-damage than what he saw at the Rainbow gathering, Roberts said.

U.S. Forest Service says clean-up near creek to continue another week;
rehabilitation of forest could take months
By Laura Eppes
Reporter
Rainbow Family members, for the most part, have all returned to their homes
from the annual Rainbow Gathering held in Fallsville, near Clarksville,
earlier this month. Some members remain in the area and are helping clean up
trash and other items left in the forest.
The nonorganized, nonmember, Rainbow Family of the Living Light began to
gather in the Ozark National Forest last month with the culmination of the
gathering July 4, during a prayer ceremony and morning of silence. The group
is prominately referred to as hippies, gypsies and hobos, according to its
unofficial Web site, welcomehere.org.
The first gathering was in 1972, a four-day event in Colorado, where 20,000
people gathered. The group has met every year since, according to the Web
site.
In the past, Rainbow Gatherings have left the forest in less than ideal
condition, despite their attempt to be "light on the land," said Denise
Ottaviano, information officer for the U.S. Forest Service National Incident
Management Team.
Tracy Farley, public relations director for the Russellville location of the
U.S. Forest Service, said Monday there were 100 Rainbow members left in the
forest, dismantling their earthen ovens and picking up trash.
"We try to help the area heal," Farley said. "Get it back to more of a
natural state."
So far, the U.S. Forest Service has cleaned up one side of the area along
the creek and moved to the other side, which should take another week,
Farley said. The forest service plans to revegetate the area by planting
grass seed and small herbaceous plants. There were many trails left from
participants walking around from camp to camp and a lot of compacted soil.
Farley said they will probably perform scarification - roughing and
loosening up the soil - on the compacted areas.
Newton County Sheriff Keith Flape said overall the event was a success,
based on the large number of people in attendance and the relatively small
number of arrests.
"It was neat," he said. "Most of the people were good. To have that amount
of people and that small of incidents is pretty successful. Our primary
purpose was to make sure local citizens were safe."
During the gathering, Flape said the sheriff's department made 89 arrests,
mostly for drugs, disorderly conduct and public intoxication. One particular
location the sheriff's deputies were monitoring was A-Camp, where those
Rainbows who chose to drink alcohol were camping.
Flape said drug use was higher at Camp-A, too. There was a variety of
illegal drugs available at the gathering; marijuana was prevalent, Flape
said. However, there were harder drugs available, including lysergic acid
diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin mushrooms, both hallucinogenic substances.
In two separate LSD busts, officers seized 293 hits from one individual and
1.3 milliliters from another. The county has not dealt with LSD in
"beaucoups of ages," Flape said. Most of the schedule 1 narcotics were
brought in from Texas and California.
Additionally, he said 99 percent of those arrested for drugs were "the
younger generation." He said the older Rainbows presented no problems.
"They were there for legitimate purposes," Flape said. "Their intent was
good."
As of Wednesday morning, he said they still have four males in jail in
Newton County. The rest have bonded out, and there are six to eight who are
waiting on hearings for felony drug charges. He said he was surprised at the
number of calls the department was receiving from people who will have to
return for court dates, questioning when they were scheduled to appear.
Flape said his correspondence with other sheriffs had him thinking most
would not come back for court.
He said he estimated there were about 10,000 people participating in the
gathering in a county with a population of about 8,800. The U.S. Forest
Service reported about 6,000 people at the gathering. The sheriff's
department counted 2,500 vehicles, taking into account the amount of bicycle
riders and hitchhikers. By July 10, most participants had left, however,
some people were coming into the forest specifically for clean up, Flape
said.
Ed Barham, spokesman with the Department of Health, said the department had
to get involved because there was a case of bacterial meningitis reported at
the gathering. A person from out-of-state complained of a stiff neck and
severe headaches, and was transported to a Little Rock hospital. DOH sent
representatives to the forest to make contact with individuals who may have
been exposed to the infection, Barham said. DOH wanted to make sure those
camping in the areas where the infected person had been were aware of the
diagnosis and the antibiotic treatments available. The infected person
probably contracted the bacteria before arriving at the gathering, Barham
said.
Bacterial meningitis is contagious and is treatable with a number of
antibiotics. Barham said the bacteria could spread by sharing a drink with
an infected person or by coughing or kissing.
Meningitis is an infection of the fluid around a person's spinal cord and
fluid surrounding a person's brain, according to the Center for Disease
Control.
In 2006, there were 11 cases of meningitis in Arkansas, 18 cases in 2005,
and 20 cases in 2004.
What did the Rainbows think of Arkansas?
"Some of them thought we had hidden treasure," Flape said. "Mainly those who
were incarcerated said they wouldn't be back."
Rainbows commented to the sheriff about the beauty of the mountains and the
rivers. Farley said some individuals camping in the area had never heard of
poison ivy.
"I got the impression they weren't pleased with Arkansas," she said.
Not many campers were aware of the insects in the area, such as chiggers,
ticks and mosquitoes, Farley said. It also rained a lot during the gathering
and Farley said there were complaints about how muddy it became.

 

The who did what, now? And who's this "they" Farley's talking about? Surely he can't mean the Tribe Who Wears the Funny Green Suits?

 

dood clips a leos truck with his bus in this one..

I'd wager that 40,000 of the fifty or so who were in the California Gathering didn't come either. Well, that's ok. Somehow us folks managed to endure that "poison ivy infested mudhole" and have a great time. It was a fun gathering partly because we met a lot of people who haven't made it out west for a national and partly because it was a tad, uh, may I claim, hardcore? But that's fine WanderingturnupII, I'll bring some bug spray, a soft bed, a big tent and lots of fresh fruit and vegetables for you in the coming Wyoming Gathering. Maybe a backrub, some patcholi oil? An azzuzzu at 2AM from In Your Way Cafe? Or amazing music from the Texans at Rainbow Zion?

I did get dismayed at one point. I was visiting Fairies and a hellacious rain started. I was sad. I was a long way from my tent and Instant Soup. Then a flash of skin running through the trees. YES!! It's the naked hugging hippies to the rescue!?!? They were a beautiful young couple of huggers, wearing some jewelry and fresh water. After that I figured that I would probably survive, somehow, someway.

Anyhow I'm sure that anyone who has any negative things to say is getting busy scouting and going to vision council and planning logistics and suppply, and digging latrines and chopping veggies and rolling, uh, logs.

 

Additionally, he said 99 percent of those arrested for drugs were "the
younger generation." He said the older Rainbows presented no problems.
"They were there for legitimate purposes," Flape said. "Their intent was
good." "

Ha ha, missed that one. Me (old fart) drove a new Volvo wagon and the kids told me that it screamed lawyer connected and that we wouldn't be hassled until we were on foot.
