STEM is Lit!
Dr. Henderson explains that she understands not all students will enter a STEM field for a career, but it is still important for students to understand the real world applications of STEM and how they can make a difference.
ABOUT PCSSD
Applying these lessons to real-life situations is a great way to build interest in a variety of new subjects and courses. Dr. Green points out that many students may not enjoy subjects like math and science, but if you can create an innovative way to teach the subject then you can gain that student’s interest and attention.

“I engage the students in real world problem solving like how to engineer a sturdy bridge, building, or robotic hand. Giving them real world problems to solve using blueprints, metric measurements and math, looking at the different materials that would work the best.”
Pulaski County Special School District spans more than 600 square miles in central Arkansas and requires highly skilled and passionate personnel to adapt educational policies and personalization to 26 schools. Every school is accredited by the Arkansas State Board of Education. PCSSD has served schools across Pulaski County since July is committed to creating a nationally recognized school district that assures that all students achieve at their maximum potential through collaborative, supportive and continuous efforts of all stakeholders.
“As STEM educators, we want students to enhance their STEM learning in the simplest, most effective way possible. We can use technologies that enhance a student’s existing knowledge base while also building strength in math, science and more.”
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATH (STEM) education continues to prove its value at the Pulaski County Special School District as interest in these areas increase among students at all grade levels. Maumelle Middle School 8th grade science teacher, Dr. Brandy Henderson, and Joe T. Robinson High math instructional coach, Dr. Erica Green, both understand the importance of the lessons learned in STEM classes.

PCSSD is looking forward to seeing even more growth in the areas of STEM as Dr. Justin Luttrell moves into the second year in his position of Director of STEM. In his first year, Dr. Luttrell implemented monthly STEM is LIT challenges for students to encourage fun and educational activities for students of all ages.

A few months ago, my ice maker created a huge mess in my kitchen, forcing my family and me to relocate for a period of time. Of course, my friend Cathy Tuggle found us a place to stay immediately, but it all happened too quickly. Over the past several months, I’ve found myself feeling disoriented at times – wanting not for a home, but for my home.
It wasn’t until earlier this year, when I was forced to pack up and leave in the middle of the night, that I truly appreciated the level of comfort that only one’s home can provide.
Thankfully, with a lot of help from my friends, family and many loved ones, my home has been repaired – a welcome rainbow after quite a lot of rain.
publisher's letter
Along with rainbows, September brings our annual home issue, featuring ‘AY’s Best Realtors’ and ‘Innovative Home Awards’ winners for 2022. We’ll also take a look at one of KellCo Custom Homes’ latest stunning builds as well as my own freshly renovated kitchen, which features an ultra cool bar for entertaining guests at those soon-to-come holiday gatherings. (Yes, I’ve already got the menu planned and the Christmas tree on standby.)

We’re also checking in on some upcoming big events for two of our favorite causes: The annual Bolo Bash Reception & Luncheon – hosted by the Baptist Health Foundation – benefitting the renovation and expansion of Baptist Health’s maternal and infant care areas and NICU; and the annual Dancing With Our Stars Little Rock Gala – with support from the good-hearted folks behind Sissy’s Log Cabin – benefitting the Children’s Tumor Foundation.

Produced by Pella Windows and Doors, the windows were custom-made for the home and make a stun ning statement. “A home filled with light has much joy,” Kelley says.

KellCo Custom Homes provides high-end lighting to highlight special features and alter interior designs of a specific space. “Luxurious lighting throughout a home offers uniqueness and enhances architectural allure,” she adds.
KellCo Custom Homes doesn’t hesitate when having the opportunity to design and build another breathtaking luxury home, es pecially in Chenal. “Chenal offers something different; it’s special all on its own, and that’s totally my drive,” Kelley says.
Thermal white oak hardwood flooring is flanked throughout the home, which further defines its interior character, reflecting soft, yet bold impressions, immediately upon entry. And the interior LED lighting throughout the home, provided by Tech Electric, boasts its own attitude altogether. “Lighting styles in a home say a lot,” Kelley explains.

Having a unique vision, then putting that vision to work, takes great knowledge, a com prehensive and well-thought-out plan, many sleepless nights and, of course, hard work. “I love and appreciate the consistency and pow erful aesthetics Chenal Valley offers its resi dents, and that’s exactly my plan in each home that I design and build,” she says.
20 iercely passionate about modern architec ture and a custom home builder and designer, Tracie J. Kelley, President and CEO of KellCo Cus tom Homes Inc., doesn’t fol low trends –– she sets them!
“Hallen Estate is such an amazing home and on so many levels,” Kelley says. “I believe every home carries a testimony within, and Hallen Estate has something very powerful. I’ve been unbelievably blessed to have the op portunity to build this special home. I’m giv ing God all the glory.”
The Hallen Estate in Chenal Valley was one of the builder’s most exciting designs. Kelley’s biggest challenge? Herself! “I’m al ways eager to step it up and raise my own bar,” sheChenalsays. Valley in Little Rock is home to hundreds of pristine, high-end luxury homes, where character and sophistication abound. Known as a “master-planned-community,” residents in Chenal experience a self-con tained environment where there’s plenty of opportunities for shopping, dining, work and play.As a builder, one of the most important decisions for Kelley is location –– where she will purchase property for any of her custom homes to come alive. Kelley says, “I don’t pur chase just to build, and I don’t build just to sell. My passion for custom home building extends far beyond ordinary, and each home that I design reflects a distinct character that is often hard to find in today’s homes, and quite

There are so many fun and unique features of the Hallen Estate home, it’s hard for Kel ley to pick a favorite. “If I just had to choose,” she says, “it would undoubtedly be the family room. This is where my heart is.” The space is joined with a gourmet kitchen, overlooking a grand, linear fireplace stacked with granite stones and iron railings, and provides space for great family time, entertaining and a nice kick-back.Thekitchen is also one of Kelley’s favor ite areas of the homes she designs. Show cased here, hickory cabinets are stained using a white-wash method, back wiped through different applications and dressed in black iron pulls. Hickory shows off a unique char acter, such as veins and knots, and that is what makes the wood product so grand. “It truly takes getting out of your comfort zone to make the unique happen,” Kelley says. She states that hickory-anything is expensive, and that it’s certainly worth it. She says to play around and test this application on such ex pensive material takes much grit. “Just go for it!” she

From exotic Quartzites and stone coun tertops within the home, to glass splashes, an iron-railed-lighted staircase and invigorat ing massaging shower systems, Kelley doesn’t back down when it comes to custom. “My homes are so spoiled!” she says.
flex rooms, outdoor kitchens and in-ground pools, Kelley’s designs are invigorating and fun at the start of any design. “Let’s go!” she says. “Exceptional designs have no boundaries. KellCo has a focus on design for the needs of each family while providing a unique modern, transitional and traditional aesthetic to those who “dare to be different.”
While building a new home is exciting, there are several important decisions that should be considered and made well ahead of any build project. “Do your homework,” Kelley advises. “Hiring the right builder is crucial,”as each builder has something different to offer, from design and quality to craftsmanship and knowledge. Know how to separate the so-so from the superb. Check to see how the builder engages within their job sites. Is there a builder absence? Of course, with permission from the builder, take a tour of the builders’ homes, if
Kelley says that growing up, she remem bers her grandmother saying, “Take it out side!” Now, that’s exactly what she does when designing her custom homes. Hallen Estate demands attention, and for an obvious rea sons. The exterior of the home is shanked with true granite stones, while seamlessly sur rounded by cypress and black iron.

• Can we use “our guy?”
Despite the previous demand in supplies, sky-high lumber and labor prices, Kelley says it’s all worth it in the end. “We must be real istic and understand the process of building a custom home will always include bumps along the way,” she says. “Be nice to your builder and trust their advice, as they are the experts. If you’re looking for a smoother process, buy a SPEC home at paint-phase!”
Kelley says she is in the design phase of several custom homes, which are soon to break ground. “I get excited with each and ev ery home as if it were my very first!” she says. Kelley’s upcoming custom homes will be in Chenal Valley and surrounding areas of Little Rock, Sherwood, North Little Rock, Conway and Greers Ferry.
With this said, it’s equally important that the builder do their homework. Kelley says, “While I’ve learned I can’t be all things to all people, I have gained much wisdom and insight in knowing that not all are meant to build together.”
The builder’s favorite part of the design is its massive, clean, “sleek and sassy” casement windows throughout the home.
Open, frequent and respectful communi cation throughout a build process is key. A client-builder relationship isn’t unlike one be tween spouses. “It’s like a marriage should be,” Kelley says.” “Make a plan with your builder of how and when you will communicate, so it doesn’t become a barrage of texts, emails and phone calls that can’t be effectively fielded.”
Trust your builder to live up to your initial expectations while keeping it real!”
Common Questions Kelley Hears in the Homebuilding Industry
possible, including while under construction. Find a builder who can guide you with sta bility and leadership –– particularly in today’s market –– and look for a builder whose emo tions don’t fluctuate like the price of lumber.”
Kelley enjoys working closely with every client throughout the build process. “As a gen eral contractor, we witness and face numerous and unprecedented changes within the indus try, especially over the past couple of years,” she says. “To say they can be challenging is merely an understatement.”
“This is a great question,” Kelley says. “It depends. 40% of the final cost of a cli ent’s custom home is outside of the build er’s control and is determined by the level of the buyer’s desired finished product.”
• What is the cost to build per square foot?
that ‘little changes’ make big impacts is important,” she says. “CHCH-CHANGES in a custom home building process are inevitable. Be gra cious and remember when designed by KellCo, [your] home is a one-of-a-kind custom home that has never been built be fore; therefore, budgets and floorplans are likely to be tweaked on-site. From paper to site, things often change.”
When building a custom home, mistakes are inevitable. Just because your builder has decades of experience doesn’t mean they will be flawless. “There will always be challenges to occur. It’s the nature of the beast,” Kelley says. “Ultimately, you will hire a builder for good reason, mostly, and hopefully, based on trust.
“A great builder will do everything possi ble to keep calm through the chaos,” she adds. “It’s important that clients trust they hired the right builder and trust in our ability to execute even through the chaos. The most important factor when building a home is trust. Some times it’s best to stay out of the kitchen until the final product is ready!” she jokes.
Kelley states that while a lower quote may seem appealing, you’ll pay for it in other ways. You’ll often hear Kelley say, “Our success stems from the dedication and hard work of the builder and the quality of our subcontractors and suppli ers. Using your builder’s resources keeps all points of accountability with the builder.”
Kelley strongly states, “Don’t try to build a home that is more than you can afford. Be honest and upfront with the builder about your budget. Otherwise, it will always add unnecessary stress to the build“Realizingprocess.”

The Roland-based business, once just the couple, has since expanded to anywhere from four to eight employees year-round. With weather always changing, the business too is adapting to their clients’ needs.
26 TAKING THE “WORK” OUT OF YARD WORK:
“Moving forward” can look different for everyone. For DIYers,
“Not everyone likes to look at solid green in the flower bed,” McIn tire says with a laugh. “Pops of color liven up the day.”
If you’re contemplating whether to add more color to areas in your yard, the answer is yes.
As he and his team prepare for coming cooler weather months, Mc Intire focuses on his clients’ lawns, and making sure they are in their best form through winter. Many basics to lawn care include fertilizing and watering enough, but the age-old debate of how much grass to leave on the yard post-mow persists.
McIntire’s has drop-off availability for customers who prefer the work themselves but may lack time to collect supplies during the work week. McIntire’s can help dump mulch, haul bulk, and place it somewhere convenient – such as a driveway – for ease of access. But if picking up on the weekend is preferred, that’s an option, too.
“Maybe a customer has bought a new house and the yard needs to be totally renovated, or it may just be a simple, ‘I’m tired of mowing my own yard’,’’ says McIntire. “A lot of our business is just mowing, edging, trimming bushes and moving forward.”

Since 1999, when he started trimming grass for pay with a friend in high school, Patrick McIntire has been tackling the dif ficulty of changing seasons. After marrying, he and his wife decided to start a business with the clientele he had built up over the years. In March 2007, McIntire’s Lawncare LLC was born and has ever since been handling the lawn care needs of the people of Central Arkansas.
“I recommend not letting the clippings pile up too heavily,” McIntire says.“Some clippings are good to get nutrients back into soil…but I rec ommend dethatching the yard, so we can get the granulated fertilizers and weed treatments down in the soil for a lusher lawn in the summer months.”Once leaves from the trees have fallen, the team usually launches “full-blown leaf mode” in ridding yards of leaves, which for the fall sea son, is a major priority.
“We’ll deliver all kinds of hardwood mulch or river rock,” McIntire sys, “as well as fall plantings and spring plantings, to keep the color.”

But when should one mulch seasonally?

Prepping for that pe riod is usually why fall is so fun.
“We’ll come out and talk it over with you. It may be something that the client wants to try to do themselves and calls us in at the end to pull [the landscape] all together. But we will do as much or as little as [you] the client wants,” Mc Intire says.

This ensures that they can obtain and prep the supplies de sired for whatever vision you have in mind.Fall is rapidly approaching, and many people are beginning to spend more time on their porches and in their backyards. If not looking for a full renovation of your lawn, but you are planning an upcoming party, McIntire’s can also help decorate and clean up your yard, so it looks its best.
“The customer is always number one,” McIntire says, “and that may mean working strange hours to pull it off, but we will most definitely pull it off.”

As summer concludes, a good time nears to think ahead. Having the proper lawn treatments now can actually protect your pocketbook for the next year, and whatever goals you have for the summer, you should be considering now.
Baker’s kitchen is full of on-trend innovations and personal touches.
innovative homes
fter the hustle and bustle of last year’s holiday season, AY Publisher Heather Baker found bulging cabinets in her home, and heard inces sant ticking coming from her kitchen at night. She knew something was afoot. After weeks of searching, Baker eventu ally found the icemaker had been leak ing for months, steadily spewing water underneath her kitchen floorboards. By the time the discovery had been made, severe damage to her beautiful home in Little Rock’s Waterview Estates had al ready been done.
Exploring theLatest Home Trends& Innovations
Baker’s home was only eight years old , and even though it had seen wear and tear through her children’s teen years, it was still nice, and she had no plans for any major renovations prior to the So,catastrophe.whatdoes one do when life presents such a sour situation? You take those lemons and make lemonade. This was an opportunity for Baker to take her home in peril and grace it with an up-to-date look.
“I had no idea, in the beginning, that it was going to be this big of a project,” Baker says. “We have had to look into every single detail of every thing, from floorboards to all new flooring, to brand new cabinets, countertops, appliances, sinks, faucets — I mean everything.”
“They truly went above and beyond,” Baker says, adding that she could not have done the renova tion without their help. From the mess made, to the dozens of workers coordinated to come in and clean it up, Farm Bureau and Metro Disaster Specialists had her back.
One of the first steps they took was looking for new flooring that would replace her ruined trav ertine. Baker knew she wanted marble, and Lloyd’s Flooring Company in Little Rock came in at the
The first thing she did was contact her home insurance agent, Kenneth James, of Farm Bureau. James and his colleague, Tyler Hill, referred Baker to Metro Disaster Spe cialists, and never left her side while handling the disaster.

“I immediately, 100%, knew I would go with Duke Cabinets,” Baker says, adding that she wanted custom, innovative storage tailored to her specific kitchen
“I also love to just rip everything up and see what’s underneath there,” she says. “If you have great concrete, stained concrete is so popular right now and it’s so easy to care for. I feel like that’s my second favorite from doing tile or hardwood — I would go with stained concrete.”
Compared to travertine, marble is durable, long-lasting and easy to clean. And because of the easy cleaning that comes with hard surfaces, Fason says carpet is phasing out.
Withseams.”theseoversized tiles, they attempted a “zero grout line” at one-six teenth of an inch, nearly diminishing the seams where the tiles are lined up. This trend is new compared to having about a half-inch grout line in the past.
From deep, waist-level cabinets for dishes to a cabinet with an attached spice rack that leans out at an angle, giving home chefs an accessible spice selec tion, the realm of cabinets really has it all these days.
A mere fresh coat of paint on the walls is the simplest way to freshen up your home.
“I'm not a designer, nor do I build homes,” Baker says. “So, with the ques tions I had, Lee was very easy to work with and helped me figure it all out.”
A new cabinet in Baker’s kitchen is dedicated to her KitchenAid Mixer. The mixer sits on a platform that elevates with a simple push, and has a convenient outlet behind it.
Baker’s close friend, Ari Fason, of Design and Events by Ari, also helped with the design process.
Baker is also partial to stained concrete, which is featured widely on another floor in her home.
One new cabinet in Baker’s kitchen is dedicated to her KitchenAid Mixer. The mixer sits on a platform that elevates with a simple push, and has a con venient outlet behind it so you never have to bother with re-storing the heavy machinery when you’re done with it.
Another exquisite custom cabinet display can be found in Baker’s bar area, where the above cabinets are outfitted in custom glass from West Little Rock Glass, with lights illuminating her selection of liquor.
After the flooring was squared away, Baker moved on to her kitchen cabi nets, an imperative part of the renovation. After deciding to demolish her two kitchen islands and replacing them with one big island, she lost 18 drawers for storage in her kitchen.
“We did a 2-by-4-foot tile, and it is fabulous,” Fason remarks. “But we were filling a huge space. If I were doing a bedroom, I’d do like a 1-by-2-foot tile. But because this was such a large area, it looks better, and you don’t see as many

One of the final steps Baker took in her home renovation was choosing countertops from Countertop World.
best price. Together, Baker and Lloyd’s owner, Terri Lee, chose a massive, matte white marble tile with a black swirl for the main flooring. They contrasted it with a matte black marble tile with a white swirl for the guest bathroom and hearth around the fireplace.
“People like to keep carpet in their media rooms to kind of absorb the noise, but I feel like these busier families are loving turning on their iRobot and let ting it just clean one type of surface,” she says.
When updating hard surfaces, Fason advises to restain hardwood floors darker, and replace 2-inch planks with 4-to-6-inch planks.
She wanted a large statement piece on her newly built island in the center of her kitchen. The first piece Countertop World Co-Owner David McDougall showed her was a white with black detail piece of art she fell in love with.
For the countertops wrapping around the kitchen, black granite was placed, with a unique leather overlay.
Perhaps one of the best people to consult with on what’s up-and-coming in the realm of home trends and innovation is the winner of AY Maga zine’s 2022 Most Innovative Home Builder award, BillParkinson,Parkinson.of Parkinson Building Group, builds homes across Little Rock, and says trends change rapidly, varying by location.
you’re set out to give your aged home a little tender love and care, or you’re in a situation like Baker’s – forcing your hand to repair and in-turn inspiring renovation – know that the possibilities are end less. Even the smallest changes can make the home, and life, that much happier.
“A lot of these trim and door colors are the same, so to save money, I match the wall color to the trim and the door, so we don’t have to go in and repaint all of that as well. That’s when your cost goes way up, when you have to do all your doors and all your crown molding.”
And with millions of warm-colored shades to choose from, she says to simplify the process, match the wall colors to the color already on the crown molding and doors.

“Lately we've just had a flurry of people say, ‘Hey my house now, I built it five or seven years ago, but it feels like it's 10, 15 years old. … I’ve just got to lighten and brighten this thing.’
“And so, we'll go in there and we'll swap out countertops, we’ll repaint the house. Maybe go from darker hinges and doorknobs to maybe a lighter brass. Whatever they want that’s kind of new and Accordingfun.”
Countertop World is also responsible for the two sinks installed in Baker’s kitchen. One being a spacious, farmhouse-style sink, and another being a conveniently placed vegetable prep sink in the island directly behind the stove. The company also installed the sinks and countertops in her master bathroom.
Parkinson is also seeing crown moldings get simpler as the years pass, giving homes a sleeker look. He doesn’t describe this trend as contempo rary, but modern.
Fason says a mere fresh coat of paint on the walls is the simplest way to freshen up your home. Some of her favorite warm colors are Dolphin Tail Blue and Repose Gray.
Home trends and innovations are ever-changing, and according to these experts, “freshening up” the home is a good idea about every five years, accord ing to these experts. Since Baker’s home was built in 2013, interior color palettes have lightened, flooring has grown in size, grout lines have become almost nonexistent and innovations have progressed.
“I like [the leather overlay] because it just looks better,” Fason says. “If you spill something and you wipe it off, it's not going to absorb. … It’s almost like a matte — like a couch almost is the way it feels. … I feel like it's a lot more durable and … it won't go out of style.”
Baker’s home is dressed in — as well as rock, but Hardie boards are be coming a big player in giving the home a unique, sleek look.
Fason suggests having a USB outlet (an update included in Baker’s kitchen renovation as well) added to something like a kitchen island, mak ing it easier to charge your devices while cooking so you don’t have to stretch a cord across the room.
But regardless of the material you choose, Fason warns to avoid porous material that will absorb spills.
Parkinson says customers love to incorporate innovative technology into their homes now, and it’s not as expensive as it used to be.
As for the home’s exterior, he is still seeing Stucco — which is what
Pro Source in Maumelle ensured that the walls above the kitchen countertops also showcase a stylish flare by supplying custom tiles for the backsplash. Lloyd’s pieced together the hexagonal tiles – out lined in white, black and gold – to make an undeniable statement in Baker’s bar area, which complements the beautiful brick-patterned backsplash that continues throughout the rest of the kitchen.
“That whole white, gray trend — it's not gone — but it seems to have some competition for what's the most popular in our current builds that we have going,” he explains.
“Everything Countertop World has is beautiful,” Baker says. “He has an incredible selection of some of the most beautiful countertops I’ve ever seen. They can help you on so many different levels.”
And then, of course, there is endless innovative technology to incor porate into your home.
“That can also become, you know, very painful over time as they start to outdate themselves and then you’ve got to update them,” he says. “So, if you're willing to go down that path of ‘I'm going to make an invest ment here and know that in five years, I'm going to need to un-invest and reinvest in something that is current,’ because that stuff doesn't tend to ageWhetherwell.”
Countertop World is also responsible for the two handy sinks installed in Baker’s kitchen.
to Parkinson, lightening and warming is the way to go for home refreshers. In West Little Rock, where Baker’s home sits, Parkinson is seeing warmer whites, like Sherwin Williams’ Alabaster, coming back into interior palettes.

Over the past year, inflation has caused the prices of homes – and everything else – to skyrocket, mak ing for an initially desirable seller’s market in real estate. These conditions resulted in quick turnovers of ownership and exciting opportunities for both sellers and buyers. But, as inflation has persisted and tee tered, many sellers are finding themselves between two homes – having bought one, thinking they could ask top price for their former abode, still anticipating a purchaser for multiple months, and saddled with two mortgages. Within this fickle market, however, many silver linings light a path toward promise.

Sizzling hot real estate market has cooled a bit, but is still healthy
By BECKY GILLETTE
“I think Central Arkansas was severely undervalued before the market start ed to take off,” Hamilton says. “Since 2020, we obviously have seen some steep price increases, but as the market starts to stabilize, I think we are getting closer to where our market should be valued. As the interest rates increase, overall housing prices will adjust, and homes will continue to be bought and sold. We will not find ourselves in a market that is unaffordable for Arkansans.”
“I hope to see our state take some measures in the future to protect our neighborhoods from these corporate buyers, or maybe these higher interest rates will drive them out first,” she adds.
“What I would tell people is when you look at interest rates over the past 30 years, the average interest rate has been 7.7%,” Ford says. “Someone with good credit can get a loan in the 4.5% range. Rates today are at an historically low level. There have been few times in history that you could get a 30-year loan at under 5% interest.”
Ford adds that you don’t buy a house because of the interest rate; you buy a house because you view it as a valuable long-term investment. If interest rates improve, you refinance. And your investment grows.
“Like so many things, it comes down to supply and demand,” she explains. “In our case, the demand is softening just a touch. That can mean a few extra days for a buyer to decide or cause a nervous seller to make a hasty price drop to encourage some quick offers. However, it’s still a long way from a ‘slow’ market. A year ago, when a home listed, it could potentially get ten-plus of fers. Today, we are still seeing multiple offers in our market, but two or three is moreInventoryexpected.”isanissue
“These out-of-state buyers are purchasing properties to use as rentals,” Hamilton explains. “They are doing it nationwide. For this reason, a true home buyer looking to purchase an affordable or first-time home is having trouble competing in what I consider an unreasonable market. Often, the out-of-state buyers are absentee landlords, and it is almost certain they won’t maintain their properties like a local neighbor.
Fordeconomy.”saystheir marketplace is still very much a sellers’ market. Inventory is a little higher than a year ago.
he Federal Reserve has in recent months increased interest rates the most in 28 years in an attempt to slow down inflation, including the soaring costs of housing. Stacy Hamilton, a real estate broker with Coldwell Banker RPM Group in Little Rock, says climbing interest rates are help ing slow down the blazing hot residential market they’ve experienced in the past 18 months.
in nearly all of the state. Hamilton says in the past year, if buyers had pretty specific criteria, she could show them 20 houses or more that matched their needs. Today, they might see five, and she says buyers should be prepared to be flexible on their criteria for the home.
However, she sees that rising values are affecting specific price ranges, es pecially those house shopping for under $150,000. Many homes that would have been available to that buyer in 2019 are now valued closer to $200,000. Hamilton says if a buyer is looking for a home under $100,000, they will need to be prepared to do some work to rehab or remodel the home, in most cases.
“Most economists believe home prices will continue to rise for the next five years, but not at the rate we have seen in the past three years,” Ford says. “It will be a more normal rate of appreciation. A 3% increase per year is a healthy real estate

“We are seeing the Little Rock market begin to slow down from the ‘insan ity’ of the past couple years,” says Hamilton, who is District 4 vice president for the Arkansas Realtors Association (ARA).
Are homes becoming increasingly unaffordable? Hamilton’s “hot take” on that is no.
T
For home sales of under $200,000, agents have seen a big boom of corporate buyers into the Little Rock market.
Michael Ford, broker/owner of Coldwell Banker Heritage Homes in West Memphis and Greers Ferry, encourages buyers to take the long view when it comes to interest rates.
“A wise lender in our area explained it to me this way, ‘Marry the house, date the rate!’ You can always consider a re-fi if rates get lower,” Dyer explains. “Low inventory isn’t seen as a real problem, but as a challenge. Creatively writing offers and being first is key. Maybe we need to sweeten the pot with an appraisal gap offer. In case the ap praisal comes in short, we put a little more skin in the game.”
Jennifer Welch, executive-broker with Crye-Leike in Northwest Arkansas, says rising rates have had an impact.
“Our market is slowing slightly but is still very strong,” Welch says.
To address affordable housing, Welch would like to see builders focusing more on building starter homes for first-time home buyers and for those who need to downsize.
However, Ford doesn’t have any answers to the problem of affordable housing. That is an issue that exists all over the country.
aymag.com101
One thing being seen with higher interest rates is that people are looking at their purchase a little more cautiously, or maybe considering an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM), says Jan Dyer, executive broker with Warnock Real Estate in Fort Smith.
“Buyers are more conscious of the home they are purchasing, and we’re seeing them lower the price range they’re searching in,” says Welch, who is a secretarytreasurer of ARA for 2022. “We’re still experiencing a deficit in housing, especially for the first-time home buyer. Inventory is easing up and getting better, but we have a definite need for starter homes. The competition of more homes being listed has soft ened our market, and we’re beginning to see price reductions on those over $400,000.”
Dyer says buying a home will always be the American dream. It brings about stability and a real sense of belonging to an area.
Dyer
“So many good things are happening in our beautiful city,” she says. “Home own ership will forever be a dream that we are eager to help make come true. We have a team mentality in our area. It shows in our real estate agents working together and having a strong group of lenders. I saw it just in the past few weeks with the extension of the ARM to 7 years. It takes a village getting our people in that special home.”
“There are so many positive things about living in Eastern Arkansas,” Ford says. “Housing is still affordable. We have a world-renowned medical community. The food and entertainment are just amazing in this part of the state.”
Welch said that she isn’t currently seeing higher interest rates impacting com mercial sales.

Ford says greater Memphis is one of the hottest real estate markets in the country. People are moving there from all over because of a combination of good jobs and reasonable costs of living.
“It varies based on the buyer’s business model and their needs,” Welch continues. “Most commercial loans balloon at five years, so it is more of a short-term issue.”
“We are seeing price drops, which we haven’t seen in the last two years,” she says. “There are still bidding wars, but they are a little less common. I think the slowing is based on, as I previously stated, people being cautious and readjusting their must haves. In the River Valley, we are fortunate to have a wide variety of homes at differ ent prices. You may have to step back and wait or readjust your vision.”
Welch says they are experiencing a softened, healthier market. Rising land costs, building costs, labor shortages, supply chain issues and additional months of builders carrying interest are all contributing to the increase in pricing that builders pass on to buyers.While bidding wars were common earlier in the year, Welch says bidding wars are becoming less common and generally draw only a few buyers, versus 15-20 seen in the early months of the year.
Dyer says Fort Smith is not seeing houses becoming increasingly unaffordable in the area. Patience is key. If the houses seem overpriced, they wait.
“Just the simple cost of building a home is much higher today than three years ago, so that translates into higher sale prices,” Ford explains. “Young couples just en tering their careers are struggling to find a way to buy affordable housing. When taxes increase, you have to raise rental rates, and most landlords also have pressure from insurance costs. There is as big a shortage of rentals as housing for sale. We struggle to find temporary housing for someone moving here for a job. You have an affordability issue on rentals, as well.”
“For most people looking for houses, we have houses available,” he says. “What I tell my team and clients is today is the best time to buy a house because five years from now, the prices of housing are going to be higher. Today is absolutely the best time to buy a home.”
A lot of their sellers are reaching retirement age, recognizing this is a good time to sell, and that they have a lot of equity in their home. Baby boomers are looking to move to Florida or somewhere closer to their kids and grandkids.

And while Ole Miss ultimately won the contest (and the championship) with a liver-pickling 18,777 shots, the contest revealed some fundamental things about Hog fans: One, they had less than half of the drinking problem of your typical Rebel and two, they love a good sports bar – especially when their beloved Razorbacks are on a roll.

Arkansas’s run in the 2022 College World Series in Omaha, Hog fans made headlines all over the country for their performance off the field. A restaurant and bar near the baseball stadium held a Jello shot challenge complete with scoreboard that tracked the fans of a given CWS team to see who could bring home the title of most shots purchased.
“With Coach Sam Pittman and the football team’s success of the last two years, it’s just been awesome,” says Brad McCray, owner of Brewski’s Pub & Grub in Little Rock. “Having a good Razorback football program just sets the stage for the energy and the environment and the success that we’ve enjoyed on Saturday afternoons, especially. And then the recent excitement over men’s basketball and baseball just continues that momentum.”
“It gets kind of crazy, but everyone fights over working on game day because it’s such a big crowd and it gets so wild,” says Kristina Cunningham, general manager of Boudreaux’s Grill & Bar in Maumelle. “LSU is a huge crowd, a huge turnout. There’s nowhere to sit. People are calling and making reservations for that game already. Then, during the game itself, it’s a big, friendly arguments between everybody in here because it’s literally split down the middle, half Razorbacks and half Tigers. It’s really fun.”
Long before the “Cheers” theme described the best bar as one “where everybody knows your name,” people have gravitated to local watering holes to find community. For hundreds of years, patrons of British pubs and American taverns alike gathered to drink and discuss politics, scandal, and yes, even revolution, as well as the fate of the local sporting

models sold in the U.S. – starting in 1947. Add in the tavern’s menu of stadium food and copious suds from the city’s famous breweries, and you have the grandaddy of the modern sports bar.
Today, there are more than 1,200 sports bars in the U.S., per IBIS World, a roster that includes some truly unique experiences. Bleacher Bar in Boston is located under the center field seats at iconic Fenway Park with windows that look out on the game. Anchor Bar in Buffalo,

St. Louis Cardinals. Both played at Sportsman’s Park which was right across the street from the bar and as such, Palermo’s Tavern hosted many of the game’s legendary players, both on the home teams and visitors.
Unlike the early days of sports bars when the food was an afterthought, McCray’s kitchen is central to the Brewski’s experience.
Jimmy Palermo worked as a Browns bat boy and in other club house roles growing up, in addition to helping out at the family tavern. When Palermo returned home from World War II, he took over the establishment from his father, decorating it with the sports memo rabilia he had accumulated over 15 years with the Browns and as an aspiring professional umpire.
The sports bar in America is a relatively recent invention, one widely accepted to have been birthed in St. Louis.
“My mother is a huge Chicago Bears fan, and we have a group of customers who are Packers fans,” Kristina says. “Well, we hate the Pack ers, so every Sunday she decorates. The Packers fans come in to watch the game, and she decorates their table in Chicago Bears stuff. It’s been a thing

Atop the sports bar totem pole sits gargantuan chains Buffalo Wild Wings, Boston’s Pizza Restaurant & Sports Bar and breastaurant pio neer Hooter’s, the top three companies in the category, respectively, ac cording to franchisechatter.com. But like all things corporate, the true sports bar experience can’t be measured by square footage or number of doors, McCray says.
“Maumelle is such a small town,” she says. “Everybody kind of knows everybody and anytime we can, we try to always throw something new into the mix.
Cunningham agrees, bragging on Boudreaux’s catfish beignets, shrimp and grits and signature hurricanes. She says the atmosphere of the neighborhood spot makes events feel more exciting, combining the best parts of sporting events with all the comforts of home, while throw ing in new traditions all their own.
ally glad we did. For the past three years in a row, we have won the award for best sports bar in Central Arkansas. That’s really cool.”
“If we’re playing the Florida Gators, we have a guy who comes out and smokes a whole damn gator out in the parking lot. We have what we call our declining Fireball shots: If the Razorbacks are winning, the price of Fireball shots keeps going down [during the game].”
“One of the coolest things that I think sets us apart from some of the other sports bars in town is most of them are chains, and we’re not,” he says. “When you walk in, our place just screams Arkansas, and it just screams Southern America. We’ve got hunting mounts on the walls. We fly our pro-America flags proudly. The vibe is very casual, very comfort able and very identifiable to Arkansas. I think people recognize that, and it makes them feel comfortable, and it makes it more fun.”
This autonomy also extends to the menu. Unlike the early days of sports bars when the food was an afterthought, McCray’s kitchen is central to the Brewski’s experience (try the wings or the Juicy Brewski stuffed burger, and be warned, the nachos are huge).
“Our menu has everything you’re expecting at a sports bar. You’re going to find your wings, your burgers, your nachos,” he explains. “But behind the scenes, we wanted everything made from scratch if we could make it. We’re not processing American cheese in the kitchen, but if we can slice it, dice it, bake it, make it, we do it. We want that from-scratch menu.“The idea behind it is we wanted to do elevated bar food, and I’m re
One other thing that sets the place apart is its ownership. Sports bars traditionally emote a heavy cloud of masculinity, a kind of man cave on growth hormone. In that regard, Boudreaux’s is a horse of a decidedly different color. Ljuba Cunningham, Kristina’s mother, has owned the joint since 2014, and Kristina’s daughter, Pristina, can often be found hanging around as well. All three women are no-nonsense jocks, spe cializing in the sport of softball, and they’re not afraid to dole out some trash talk or Cajun justice as the situation demands.
“We’veforever.never had any problems; no matter how wild and crazy ev erything gets. Mom’s always like, ‘If something goes wrong, I’ll handle it.’ But nothing ever goes wrong, which is a good thing. Mom could kick everybody’s ass in here.”

“As we were closing the restaurant, we knew we had to be out in like a week or so, and so the first thing we got rid of was the food. But we had all this bar inventory we had to get rid of, and I was pretty young at the
time, so we just called up all of our friends and said, ‘Hey, drinks are like $1, $2, whatever, we just gotta get rid of all of this product.’ The last week we were open was the busiest we’d ever been.” McCray soon got another shot, though, and he decided to learn from his previous experiences and put more em phasis on the bar aspect.
Brewski’s Brad McCray withPub & Grub
“I was packing up, getting ready to va cate the location, and I didn’t really know what I was going to do – though I was going to have to find a job, obviously. But I still had all of this equipment that I had accumulated from the catering business and the restaurant. The Funny Bone com edy club in downtown Little Rock had closed down recently, so I called the prop erty management [and] they leased that space to me.” From there, he opened – no, not Brewski’s yet – but a bar called On the Rocks. “I was really green in the bar business, but I still had all of my catering contacts, so we were still doing a lot of catering gigs,” and those helped them get the doors open and their feet under them.

In early 2005, he decided to try his hand at a full-service restaurant, which he named Erba, “and spectac ularly failed at it,” McCray says. “That restaurant lasted about eight months, and I always told myself, this is like my grad school right here. That was the hardest I’ve ever worked, and not only was I not making money from my work, I was actively losing money every day that I was working 18-hour days,” he recalls. There are times, it seems, where hard work just doesn’t pay.
“We opened on Halloween of 2005,” McCray recalls. “We were so broke that I’m pretty sure that the beer order we or dered on Friday, I don’t know if we had the money to cover it. But we knew they weren’t going to cash the checks until Monday, and so we were like ‘Alright, we’ve got the weekend to just blow it out of the water’ and cover the costs we just incurred.” To help do that, they partnered with a rock sta tion to promote the grand opening and hired a band called “Mini Kiss,” which was a Kiss cover band of little people in full costume and makeup. It paid off: The bar was packed, and they made enough money to clear the checks they had written a few days before.

rad McCray’s friendly face and cheery demeanor quickly give you the feeling that he’s the type of guy you’d like to grab a drink and take it easy with, and Brewski’s Pub & Grub is exactly the place to do that. However, the restaurant business isn’t easy, and McCray certainly hasn’t always had the chance to be laid-back. His story didn’t start with Brewski’s, nor was he an immediate success. But through persever ance, a bit of luck and a few close calls, he’s overcome the odds.
FACE BEHIND THE PLACE:
McCray was born in Alexandria, Louisiana, but his family moved to Little Rock when he was only five years old. His career in the food service industry began in the hallowed halls of Dixie Cafe (may they rest in peace). The family member that owned the Dixie Cafe owned anoth er restaurant and catering service called the Blue Plate Special, which was the next stop in McCray’s food career, followed by a stint in catering at Brave New Restau rant. In 2004, McCray started his own catering business called Strictly Catering, mostly serving luncheons for the pharma ceutical industry. He had about $10,000, a van that broke down all too often, and just enough experience in the restaurant busi ness to be dangerous, in McCray’s words.
So, Club Level ceased to be, but in 2017, after a bit of remodeling, Brewski’s was born from its ashes. The founders took all the lessons they had learned from previous experiences with Club Level, On the Rocks, Bear’s Den and others, and combined the things they knew worked into what they believed would get them the most out of the space. The gen eral aim was for it to be an all-American neighborhood bar that anyone could walk into and feel welcome – a casual, Southern atmosphere with plenty of TVs tuned to sports channels and your typical bar food, but all made from scratch. They also have a basement space, which is used for
One of McCray’s business partners lived in the Conway area and wanted to start up a bar next to the University of Central Arkansas cam pus. Of course, that’s easier said than done, considering Conway is in a dry county. This was in 2008, when there were only one or two places in the county that had received a private club license to serve alcoholic beverages, so it wasn’t easy for a young man who had never lived in Con way to come in and get one to go right across the street from a college campus. Their first attempt was denied, but they later got into contact with some city officials and eventually got hold of a permit. Thus, Bear’s Den Pizza was born, and McCray is still the owner to this day.
area; there was no Samantha’s or Bruno’s yet.
If you’re looking for a place to kick back with a drink, or two, look no further.

Though On the Rocks was still doing well back in Little Rock, its lease ran out in 2010, and the owners of the location weren’t interested in renewing it. By this time, McCray was older, married and feeling a little burned out on the bar business. Instead, he went into commercial real estate while continuing to own Bear’s Den. One day, he had a meet ing at Bear’s Den with a real estate developer who did business in Little Rock. The developer was impressed by the place and mentioned that one of his properties had a bar that wasn’t doing very well and wasn’t likely to last much longer. Then, in 2012, the occupants moved out, and McCray moved in. The original plan had been for a Jamaican-themed, full-ser vice restaurant, but the partnership that idea relied on fell through. In stead, entertainment became the centerpiece, and it was renamed Club Level, a weekends-only, techno-noir nightclub. It was located on Main Street, but this was before real efforts had been made to redevelop the
“We just felt like we were, one, underutilizing the space by being open on weekends only, and two, it may not be the best use of the space anymore, and we really wanted to have a brand that would have staying power and take advantage of the lunch and happy hour opportunities in the area. No matter how cool of a lunch menu we have, people just aren’t going to go to Club Level for lunch,” he says.
“We had girls swinging from silks from the ceiling, crazy light shows, CO2 blasters. We were doing whatever we could to put the most Vegasesque nightclub in Little Rock, and it became hugely successful,” Mc Cray recalls. “We were bringing a lot of people down to Main Street, and it was a lot of fun. To fast forward to why we became Brewski’s, as Club Level became popular, we noticed that everything around us really started to develop. Obviously not because of us – everyone was work ing to make Main Street really cool. All of a sudden, we started having full-service restaurants pop up right next door to us and across the street from us, then they put apartments across the street from us, and then apartments above us started to open up.
music, then we started bringing some DJs and stuff on the weekends. We found some success there on the weekends, and On the Rocks kind of turned into a dance club.”

In addition to building on the successes of its predecessors, Brewski’s has been successful because of an active attempt on McCray’s part to be more community-minded and do things like becoming involved with
Recent weeks have been the busiest the res taurant has ever seen, as people are eager to get out of their houses and back into the world. McCray is immensely proud of all of the roughly 45 people on his team, from managers to waiters to dishwashers. The establishment enjoys a great many regulars who come for happy hours or for entertainment on the weekends, and McCray has enjoyed watching down town grow around him and helping Brewski’s to grow along with it. A few years ago, McCray had hoped to open a new Brewski’s loca tion, but the pandemic shot those ideas down. Right now, he’s focusing on making the current loca tion the best it can be, but he hasn’t given up hope on an additional loca tion.

Brewski’s was one of the lucky ones that managed the dif ficult feat of making it through the pandemic. Although its lo cation downtown would normally be highly desirable, it meant that delivery was not a very viable business model. They closed down, but opened back up to operate at one-third and half ca pacity when they could, despite the fact that they knew they would lose money. When the announcement was made that bars and res taurants could go back to full capacity, they received no early warning, and took the full force of a recently quarantined public while only staffed for half capac ity. Now, like everywhere else, staffing issues are still a problem, but they’re get ting along and really doing better than ever.

plosion, Salecker says. The Civil War had re cently ended and President Abraham Lincoln had been assassinated less than two weeks ear lier. The area newspapers were full of accounts of those stories. Lincoln’s body was traveling by train across the country as the Sultana steamed north and crowds gathered at stop ping points to pay their respects. The day the Sultana exploded and sank, police captured Lincoln’s assassin, John Wilkes Boothe, and subsequently killed him.
Those who remained on board thought they were safe. The en suing fire first burned toward the rear of the boat, and those remaining crowded toward the front of the decks. But the sidewheel paddle was destroyed, and the boat turned in the current. The northern winds fanned the fire from the boiler area, which now was facing the wind, into the remainder of the steamship.

At 7 p.m. on April 26, the Sultana steamed into Memphis where crew members unloaded more than 100 tons of sugar stored in its lower deck. Around midnight, the ship left Mem phis, stopped upriver to pick up a load of coal on the Arkansas side of the Mississippi River, then headed north again.
The river’s current was strong, bolstered by the melting winter snows further north that caused runoff to pour into the waterway. At some points, the river was nearly three miles wide due to the spring flooding.

When opened, Fogleman says, the mu seum is projected to see 50,000 visitors a year. Construction could begin late this fall, he adds.“Iwas skeptical about that number at first. But I saw the visitorship last year at Pea Ridge, Arkansas, showed 80,000 visitors. Vicksburg had 300,000 a year and Shiloh had 350,000,” he says, referring to Civil War battle sites.

In stead, the explosion occurred near the back of the boilers and caused the pilot house where the boat was steered to collapse into the ship.
Perhaps, Salecker says, when people crowded on one side of the Sultana for the picture in Helena, it tipped the boat and the water levels in the boiler. The boiler, already fatigued and stressed, finally cracked and ex ploded near Marion.

More than likely, he says the boilers were struggling to haul the overloaded boat. The Sultana was powered by four 18-foot long tubular boilers that could generate twice as much steam as conventional flue boilers.
Salecker has outlined his new findings in his book, “Destruction of the Steamboat Sul tana,” which was published in March.

A first count in dicated 1,500 were killed. That number then went up to 1,800.
Down the road near Interstate 55, Tacker’s Shake Shack offers the Sultana Burger, a gi ant creation that stacks four beef patties – one for each deck of the steamship – and slathers chili, hash browns, eggs and bacon and cheese on each deck.
“Considering our proximity to Memphis and the interest in the Civil War, I can see us doing 50,000,” he adds.
“It’s overloaded like the steamship,” owner Jeff Tacker says. The meal weighs about four pounds and costs $30. A portion of the sale of each Sultana Burger goes to the museum
But Salecker, who became interested in the Sultana when he read the 1962 book “Trans port to Disaster” as a child at the Mendota, Illinois, library, painstakingly pored through old records to verify the fatalities. He looked at the Sultana’s passenger manifest and com pared it to military pension records.
“If people on the Sultana were receiving pensions after 1865, we knew they weren’t killed on the Sultana,” he explains.

Eyes will be on the sky in Harrison on the weekend of September 9-11 as the city hosts the 27th annual Arkansas Hot Air Balloon State Championship. The event will consist of hot air balloon races, rides for the public, helicopter rides, a cornhole tour nament, a Harrison emergency vehicle display and live music. Bell also shared that there will also be a Kite R.A.C.E., which stands for Relay Asian Cultural Event.
“We’ve partnered with a local Asian cultural group to help bring awareness for the Asian community in our area,” he says. Be sure to visit the Anstaff Soccer Complex in Harrison for the festivities!

Harrison has seen many infrastructural changes and business developments over the years, and is even the home of 2022’s Miss Arkansas, Ebony Mitchell. A boom in local business has been ac companied by the ever-present beauty of nature in the Ozarks, drawing in Arkansans and tourists alike from across the region, and enticing them to stay for a while.
More interested in fishing than canoeing? Folks can also stop by DeVito’s Trout Farm. No fishing license is re quired, and there’s no trout limit. The folks at DeVito’s will let you use their tackle and will even provide bait. You only pay for what you catch. If you’d rather just see the trout, DeVito’s will let you feed them too for 25 cents.
Bell anticipates that it will be a big year for bike enthusiasts in the Ozarks and in Harrison.“We’ve been sending out 400 to 800 guides from our week to people all over the world who want to experience Arkansas on 2 or 3 wheels. It’s a little bit more unique to Harrison, because we’ve got a longer riding season than there is up north,” he explains. “People long to come here this time of year and see the leaves change.”
While the Buffalo National River is a popular spot year round, Bell says that visitors to the site and to Harrison spike during this time of year.
Motorcycle Tours
“We are the closest city with lodging and dining and amenities to the Buffalo National River. With fall coming in, the hikers and sightseers and canoers will be coming in through the scenic roads,” Bell says. “Buffalo National Park is celebrating 50 years this year. The outdoor adven ture meets modern amenities in Harrison.”

Bell also says that for two decades, they have been producing a motorcycle riding guide to the Ozarks. As demand increased over the years, they started the Ride the Ozarks Facebook page, which now has over 54,000 followers.

Over the last five years, the city of Harrison has been developing different mu rals put together downtown and in the historic district. The mural tour currently boasts over 20 murals and six businesses on the tour offering discounts. Art on the mural tour is mostly honed in on the scenic outdoors and the history of the state and region, depicting scenes of the Buffalo Na tional River, honey bees, as well as a Na tive American mural depicting the different tribes and where they once lived through out the state.
The city of Harrison has developed an app for visitors to use in the downtown area, giving a description of the art murals, the artist and its date of creation.
“This started as a project that developed from our local high school and the EAST students. An art teacher wanted their stu dents to do some work in the community in the art realm, and what started as a stu dent-led effort drew professional and local artists,” he says Photos courtesy of Boone County Heritage Museum..

What if you prefer to keep your feet on the ground? Fortunately, Maplewood Cemetery is one of the city’s (and the region’s) autumnal hotspots. While most cemeteries are sad and eerie, a feeling of peace per vades“WhenMaplewood.thecemetery was developed, the city of Harrison wanted it to be a place of happiness and beauty. So, they planted over 730 mature sugar maple trees,” Bell explains. “In the fall, the No. 1 photo location in the city of Harrison every year is in this spot. We have tour buses that come through on their tour and stop here.”Organized in 1901, the “20th Century Club” is an important ingredient in the life of Maplewood Cem etery. The club has been selflessly dedicated to the maintenance and beautification of Maplewood Cemetery and Rose Hill Cemetery, a smaller burial ground within the Harrison city limits. They are critical to the success of the property and have been for over 110 years.
Bell shares that what started as a school project has spread to encompass the city.

Reference materials include books by Schoolcraft, which covers pre-statehood days, and a written history of the first settlement in Boone County.
It’s clear that Harrison has built up its reputation over the past few decades, and has built its infrastructure up right along with it. Harrison has something to offer everyone and provides an abun dance of hospitality for visitors to the Ozarks.
Visitors to Harrison will find a downtown full of boutiques, cafes and delis.
The Museum focuses on local and cultural history with a host of artifacts.

Some townsfolk favorites include Neighbor’s Mill Bakery and Cafe and DeVito’s Restaurant. Bell shares that Harrison also offers some of the best brick oven pizzas and is home to the Brick & Forge Brew Works microbrewery. He also boasts that Har rison is home to the best Western Sizzlin’ buffet in Arkansas. Musical fans can stop by the guitar shop, Guitar Smiths, which is owned by Gus, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Legend who was part of the band, The Lovin’ Spoonful.
What about some thing for the history buffs? Fortunately the Boone County Heritage Museum has something for everyone in the entire region.
To get some shut eye, Bell recommends checking into the historic hotel, the 1929 Hotel Seville, which is adjacent to the downtown square as well as the his toric district and walking district. The Hotel Seville is one of the most elaborate examples of Spanish Re vival architecture in the state.

hen you think of iconic Southern art, the annual Delta Exhibi tion at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts (AMFA) stands out as a bridge between the artistic community and the beauty of the NaturalFoundedState.in 1958, the Delta Exhibition is one of the longestrunning and most prestigious juried exhibitions in the region and represents the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts’ commitment to artists born in or living in Arkansas and its border states. The pro gram is part of the museum’s continued commitment to growing and supporting artistic talent in the region. The Delta exhibit is the most beloved and longstanding exhibition in the museum’s history, entering its 64th year.

Each of the three episodes features an artist selected by curators at participating institutions across the Mid-South. Delta Voices will allow for deeper engagement with the art, craft and inspiration of the featured artists through short videos, conversations between artists and curators and more.
Catherine Walworth, the Jackye and Cur tis Finch Jr. Curator of Drawings, states, “Through the evolu tion of the Delta into a triennial, artists can create new bodies of work that trans form each exhibition.
132
The artists featured in this year’s exhibit are Renata Cassiano Alvarez of Fayetteville, Arkansas; Vaughn Davis, Jr. of St. Louis, Missouri; and John Isiah Walton of New Orleans, Louisiana.
When AMFA closed during the pandemic and for renovations, they didn’t want to stop the most beloved exhibit they had. So, the Delta exhibit got a makeover.
Since Delta Voices is a regional exhibition, AMFA is working with several notable partners in the Delta region, including the Ogden Mu seum of Southern Art in New Orleans and the Contemporary Art Mu seum in St. Louis.
“Just as the Mississippi River has been a force that continually al tered the landscape around it, likewise the art of the Delta has shifted our perception of the region,” says Brian J. Lang, Chief Curator and Windgate Foundation Curator of Contemporary Craft.
“We are excited to be able to bring these voices together for a con versation on how place, form and content intersect in the work of these artists; through their art and dialogue, we can gain a deeper understand ing of our region,” Lang adds.
Following the 2022 release of Delta Voices: Artists of the MidSouth, AMFA will host connected programming in 2023, and the first Delta Exhibition in its new triennial for mat in 2024, at the redesigned Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts.
AMFA plans to make the Delta even grand er in terms of roll-out and programming. As a result of all these things, we are better poised to elevate the best work of our re gion, be its biggest booster and help give it a voice at a national level.”
The 2022 release of Delta Voices: Artists of the Mid-South will be a three-part exploration of the artists’ perspectives on Place — how their region’s history and culture inform their artistic practice, Content — the stories and ideas expressed in their art and Form — how those ideas take shape through the artists’ materials. Through intimate vignettes of each artist’s process and connection to their cities, assumptions about often underrecognized sites on the national art map are thwarted, and a deeper understanding of the region’s cultural richness emerges. This year’s artists work in drawing, painting and sculpture, representing the outstanding artwork made throughout the Mid-South today.
“There are stories here that can only be told by people from these places. These stories have not always been part of the larger conversation around art, and that is to the detriment of the national dialogue,” notes AMFA Curator Theresa Bembnister.

AMFA released a digital series during the pandemic to keep the tradition alive, highlighting three different artists. This year, they’re do ing the same thing, but they’ve upped the ante: AMFA has another announcement to make regarding the Delta Voices exhibit.
Delta Voices: Artists of the Mid-South will be released to the public as a three-part series on Aug. 24, Aug. 31 and Sept. 7, 2022, via YouTube; AMFA members and email subscribers will receive early access.
AMFA will continue in its dedication to amplify voices of this region through the Delta triennial and annual programming – such as this year’s event in partnership with ACS – that will invite artists and audiences to ex pand the conversation on the years between the triennial exhibitions.”

The Delta Exhibition will be triennial instead of annual, which comes as AMFA’s first programmatic announcement under their rebranding and with a new“Forspace.over 60 years, the Delta exhibition has had a profound impact on the artistic community in Arkansas and the surrounding states,” says AMFA Executive Director Victoria Ramirez. “Through the video series Delta Voices: Artists of the Mid-South, the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts has been able to broaden the reach of this region’s cultural richness.

The epiphany led Trimble and her husband Jon Tegeler to a leap of faith opening the small art supply shop located at 914 N. College Ave. that would soon become Sleet City Art and Supplies.
“I never had really felt grown-up enough to do it, but last year, I was evaluating what I really wanted my career to look like. I love painting murals and signs, but it can be physically hard at times,” Trimble says. “I was in bed for ten days with CO VID, and had to isolate myself from my husband and kids. I finally decided that I haven’t made it this far in life to hold back on exploring things I have dreamed of.”
As stated earlier, Trimble is not just a small business owner but an artist

“I would always wait until my family and I were going out of town. And I would get really excited because it meant I was go ing to get to go to an art supply that was indie and cool, regardless of where we were traveling,” Trimble recalls. “I’ve always had this deep love for the experience of being in an art supply store, and feeling the pos sibilities of things that I could make with theseAsmaterials.”anartistwith a deep appreciation for independent art stores and a great love for her community, Trimble says she has long dreamed of one day opening her own small business, nestled in the hills of Fayetteville.

s the home of the Razorbacks, the Bulldogs, dozens of nature exploration opportunities and countless quirky events, Fayetteville is famed for so much of its offerings to residents, tourists and college students. Driving down the busy hills of College Avenue, one can get lost absorbing all of the small businesses that reflect the creative and in novative community in the quaint Ozark town. Fayetteville — metaphorically or otherwise — can be viewed as a 3-D canvas. And hometown artists like Olivia Trimble, owner of Sleet City Art Supply, have literally painted the town in an effort to perfectly portray life in Fayetteville.
Trimble, while always having a relationship with art, has been a practicing professional artist for about 10 years. While painting murals with various eclectic signs and murals, she had struggled to find places to purchase art supplies locally.
After settling on the location, the couple decided to open it up just in time for Small Business Saturday in 2021.
“We just continued to add things, and [eventually gained] wonderful sup port from the University of Arkansas and practicing artists here in Fayetteville,” Trimble says.
140 as well. If you reside in or have ventured to the Northwest corner of The Natural State, chances of seeing a mural or sign Trimble has painted are extremely high, as they adorn vari ous edifices around various other cities such as Bentonville, Fayetteville and beyond.
“On this historic, yet decrepit building (that has recently been demolished), I painted a simple statement: “Share Something Beautiful.” “It’s not a groundbreaking statement by any means, but it served as a way to remind people of the better parts this life has to offer,” Trimble says. “MLK is a heavy-traffic area and so many people drive by. Some have had rough days and some are running late to work. I just wanted to be able to create a bright spot in at least one person’sWheneverday.”
In her career as an artist, Trimble also says she is continuously growing. “I’ve always had a really odd relationship with art. Carla Caraway at Springdale High
If you live or have ventured to the Northwest corner of The Natural State, you're likely to see a mural or sign that Trimble has painted.
The store is stocked with gifts, art kits, pencil and pen sets, greeting cards and occasionally, Trimble’s own original work. She has designed most of the stickers sold at the store and recently painted a barn quilt mural to line the entire back wall of the shop.
Maybe you’ve seen the colorful Uptown Quilt, located at 3959 Steele Blvd., Love Unites Us off of Martin Luther King Blvd. or other murals while driving around town or scrolling on Instagram.WhileTrimble certainly isn’t the only sign painter or mu ralist in the area, she has given her community several photo genic backdrops and beautiful, modern memorials.
Years ago, in South Fayetteville, off MLK Blvd., Trimble had the opportunity to create a simple yet beautiful reminder for those stuck in rush-hour traffic to enjoy.
embarking on a new project, Trimble works through her own cre ative process, keeping community in mind. Starting with the place, Trimble takes into account where the work will be seen. If a sign, the piece in its function is considered. When creating a mural, Trimble thinks of what feelings she wishes to evoke in the viewer and what message she wants to convey it.
While creating one of the biggest projects of Trimble’s career, Sleet City Art and Supplies, she and her husband took things slow. Responding with pieces in which the community had expressed interest they listened. In fact, Trimble, who has become locally famous in these efforts to convey sweet messages and beautiful works of art around town, did not paint the sign on the front of Sleet City’s build ing until last April, which reflected the duo’s best month in revenue to date. In May, Trimble says they grew 175% over what they had in April, and the store has been expanding and growing ever since.
Growing up, Trimble says she was constantly interested in the process that her stepdad worked through in creating his own signs. While never an apprentice of his, as such, Trimble says she learned just from observing him in action. And she’s characteristically been drawn to the art of observation.
One of Trimble’s favorite features about be ing an artist is the flexibility that it has allowed for her family and her to enjoy. As a small business owner, she finds herself in turn supporting other local businesses that comprise her beloved com munity, now more than ever.
“I want art to be accessible, and I want it to be something that people feel like they can engage with outside the walls of a museum. My core goal is to make art easy and to take away any scariness or snootiness around the community. I just want everyone to be able to enjoy it.”
“There have been opportunities that I could pursue outside of Fayetteville and outside of NWA, but I’ve just always felt an attachment to this place deep inside of my bones. I believe that my community in Fayetteville is so tight-knit and does so well at jumping up to help people when they’re in need. I don’t think there’s any other place that has a better land as a backdrop, or better people. I don’t think Fayetteville can be beat,” Trimble says.
A perfect morning for Trimble would include getting her kids to school on time, stopping by Pink House Alchemy for an iced, cardamom, oat-milk latte, and spending hours in the store open ing boxes of new product arrivals. She says she also enjoys a day where she can get busy painting a positive statement somewhere nearby, and coming home with enough energy to enjoy cooking dinner for her family.
“I love owning a place where an artist or other art-adjacent people can find new things they would be interested in trying out. It’s so important to me that we make people feel comfortable enough to try a new item or get started with a new medium,” she says – adding that there is nothing worse as an artist than being in a space where you don’t feel “good enough.”
The start to her career in mural painting began approximately eleven years ago. Trimble had painted some signs and entered them into a small, independent craft show, during which she got her first taste of success as an artist. “Onyx Coffee Lab commissioned me to paint a sign for them after that. Then other opportunities started coming in,” she says.
Whether through her public art, the shop, workshops or collaborations, Trimble says her goal is to make art comfortable for people who may not see themselves as “artists.”
As a Fayetteville resident, Trimble has long loved the environ ment that she says she is lucky enough to experience daily.
“Fayetteville has so many cool, new things happening, and I love seeing the really great things in this place thrive,” she says. “I love the really deep, old Ozark roots we have in Fayetteville, and to think about our little town that has all of its quirks and endear ing Fayettevillethings. has wild history. And with the project I’m working on now, I’ve been appreciat ing the fun history.”

In 2020, Specialized Real Estate Group commissioned Trimble to emblazon the old Farmer’s Co-op with a two-story mural.
School was such a great teacher and inspiration for me; she helped me grow into the process of creating works,” Trimble recalls. “I’ve also been really fortunate to have two very great sets of parents – my dad and my stepmom, and my mom and my stepdad, who is a sign painter – making me a second-generation sign painter.”
Now, in addition to all Trimble is working on in the community and in her own store, she is working with the Smithsonian on a year-long project, gearing up for the museum’s Folk Festi val, which will take place over the course of two weeks at the Washington Mall in the District of Columbia. More information about this project will be revealed at a later date.
“I would pick my drink or food based on the design of the pack aging. I also picked my books because the cover drew me in. I’ve always been drawn in by the design of everything,” Trimble says.
The future of Trimble’s indie art shop is bright, and according to the acclaimed artist, she plans to keep growing the community inside – and outside – of the store.

Food Fashion Fundraising : Baptist Health Foundation’s 2022 Bolo Bash
f you’ve ever gone door-to-door or found yourself begging twice-removed family members for the change in their pockets, you know that fundraising is no easy feat. When the stakes are even higher –– say, improving the health and quality of life for all Arkansans regardless of their financial means –– finding unique ways to build a donor base from year to year becomes an even taller task.

To raise money on this scale requires more than just an impressive (and generous) contact list. Enter: Bolo Bash, the feather in the foundation’s fundraising cap. Originally conceived as a West ern-themed dinner and auction back in 1989, Bolo Bash events have raised more than $14 million

Foundation support has touched every corner of this expansive network over the years, includ ing scholarships at Baptist Health College – Little Rock – homeless outreach and wellness pro grams and renovations to the Baptist Health Rehabilitation Institute.

Luckily, the folks at the Baptist Health Foundation have had almost six decades to per fect their process, and this isn’t your average lemonade stand or tip jar. Since its inception back in 1963, the Baptist Health Foundation has focused on building community support and funding for a wide variety of projects. The Baptist Health system is the state’s largest not-for-profit health care organization, with a network that includes approximately 11,000 employees across 11 hospitals, a number of urgent, primary and specialty care clinics, and several community outreach programs.

As a testament to just how successful the foundation has been at building up commu nity support, sponsors allowed Baptist Health to keep the fundraised money despite the event’s cancellation, which ensured that last year’s cause –– breast cancer screening, diag nosis and treatment –– still received a gener ous amount of funding.

Of course, the event has not been without its challenges. The last thing a large in-person fundraising event needs is a global pandemic putting gatherings on ice. Bolo Bash was held virtually in 2020, and donations did take a slight dip as a result, but a strong network of donors and the hard work of the team at Bap tist kept funding levels consistent overall.

Headlining the bash each year are both a keynote speaker and a celebrity moderator, and in keeping with this year’s area of purpose, Bolo Bash is placing an emphasis on uplift ing women. The luncheon will feature a fash ion show put on by designer Jude Connally, a respected icon in women’s clothing. Connally focuses on comfort and style for women of all shapes and sizes, and her clothing can be found in Dillard’s stores and specialty bou tiques across the country. She wants to break the stigma around certain patterns, colors and cuts in order to help people realize that fash ionable clothing is for every body.
His connection to Baptist Health and this year’s area of purpose goes beyond Bolo Bash as well. Hatcher has four daughters, and he is heavily involved in promoting youth sports throughout the state. He has even taken cli ents of his to the hospital before, and he testifies that “a few of my clients and family members’ lives have been saved by the people at Baptist.”“Theytruly are a healing ministry with the patient at heart,” Hatcher says. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The money raised is critical to keeping Baptist Health true to its not-for-profit roots and for supporting the healing ministry on which its first hospital was founded over 100 years ago.
The upcoming event is also especially ex citing for Bolo Bash’s four co-chairs: J.R. and Dr. Jamie Bizzell, and Lauren and Nate Steel.
Hatcher’s penchant for giving back to the community began in his college years. He pledged then to donate at least 10% of every dollar he earned, and as his career took off, he and his business were able to give even more. He was named Outstanding Philanthropist of the Year in 2015, and it’s clear to see why. He and his wife, Lee, frequently open their home

A shiny new gem in the Bolo Bash crown is the Power of Purpose honoree. Celebrated at the beginning of the luncheon, this award will recognize a member of the community who has gone above and beyond to advance Bap tist Health’s mission. This year, that honoree is Greg Hatcher – author, philanthropist and founder of the Hatcher Agency. With decades of experience in the health insurance industry, Hatcher knows the value of quality care. He has chaired a number of boards, including that of the Baptist Health Foundation, where he now serves as an advisory member.
“She had a rough start,” J.R. says, “even though you wouldn’t know it now. We’ve per sonally experienced the benefits of the care that Baptist provides.” The main role of the cochairs is to expand the reach of the foundation
The foursome also have personal connec tions to this year’s area of purpose –– women’s and children’s health care. All of the Steel and Bizzell children were delivered, and the Biz zells’ daughter, now 4 years old, spent time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) there (omit) after she was born.

Both couples also chaired last year’s event and say they are thrilled to return and (finally) throw the Bash in-person.

Advocating for Baptist’s heal ing ministry and making contact with those who might be moved to donate to this year’s cause are key objectives for the Bizzells and the Steels, who have used their personal con nections to reach out to people possibly not involved previously.
The luncheon will feature a fashion show by iconic women’s clothing designer, Jude Connally.
“Baptist is a well-run organization. They know how to put on events,” J.R. says “It’s re ally a team effort, and it comes down to figur ing out where we can help.”
Of course, there is also the small detail of putting on a beloved Little Rock tradition while keeping any hiccups to a minimum. To that end, the couples made it clear that team work is what keeps things moving along.

The 2022 Bolo Bash is sure to bring out the best and brightest of Arkansas fundrais
ing, both as a celebration of being in-person again and as a reminder of how important it is to support Baptist Health’s mission in any way possible.Looking to the future, Hayes and the team at the Baptist Health Foun dation are focused on keeping their fundraising efforts closely aligned with Baptist’s strategic priorities as a whole.“We’re not a business. We’re a healing ministry,” Hayes says, and she explains why events like Bolo Bash –– and philanthropic support more broadly –– prove such a key part of the foundation’s strategy.
A ticket to the luncheon on Oct. 12 costs $300, which includes a ticket to the more in timate reception setting with Jude Connally Zimmerman at the Hatcher’s home the eve ning before. Tickets to only the reception cost $75. Donations and sponsorships can be made on the Baptist Health Foundation’s website. A majority of the ticket prices are tax-deduct ible, and, combined with great food, great fashion and an even greater cause, this year’s Bolo Bash is a must on anyone’s calendar.

Through the Blessings for Babies program, the Baptist Health Foundation pro vides free lodging for families whose newborn requires an extended stay in the NICU. This program allows mothers and family members to stay close to their child during a period of uncertainty and gives them one less thing to worry about.

According to a 2020 report by the Arkansas Maternal Mortality Review Committee, “92% of pregnancy- re lated deaths were considered poten tially preventable.” Coupled with the fact that a large number of Arkansans avoid seeking health care due to the cost, it is clear that Baptist Health and the Baptist Health Foundation are addressing an area of urgent need.

Given rampant stories of health care burn out in the past few years, making education more accessible to its caregivers is one way that Baptist Health combats personnel short ages and ensures a new generation of healers is always just around the corner.

This year, proceeds from the Bolo Bash fes tivities will bolster health care for women and children throughout the state. As a leader in this area, Baptist Health delivers 7,000 babies annually, system wide.
According to Baptist, more than 30% of those new parents are on Medicaid or unin sured, highlighting the importance of provid ing quality care regardless of financial means.
Unfortunately, those funds are also espe cially needed given the state of women’s and children’s health care in Arkansas.

In 1970, at the age of 25, Wright became a father. That was also the year he decided to open a shoeshine business. His first location was at 12th and Oak streets in Little Rock, strategically located across from KFC. He had six to eight chairs.
The first weekend, a woman stabbed another woman right in
Wright attributes the increase in gang and school shootings to a lack of respect for life, for authority and for the Lord.
“Back then, our parents could have a gun or a shotgun in the house and tell you, ‘Don’t touch it.’ And you better not touch that gun. Now, kids can go buy a gun. And with no job!”
“It was more than shining,” Wright says of their time work ing for him. “We worked on education, appearance and attitude. I didn’t just teach them to shine, I taught them business. And the first principle of business is you are not working for yourself. You are working for the customer.”
A Shining Example
Wright is a father to four (two biological, two via marriage) and a grandfather to eight. He has been a member of First Bap tist Church, located at 9th and Calhoun streets, for 51 years.
Wright went on to shine shoes for 22 years at 9th and Arch Street in downtown Little Rock, then spent another 12 years across the street. Wright’s Shine Parlor and Discount Shoes has been at its current location, 523 East Capitol Ave — near Little Rock’s main downtown post office — for 13 years.
“I said, ‘Lord, I got the message,’” Wright recalls. “Death was at my door three weeks in a row, so I gave my life to Christ while I still could!”Asfor his second communication from God, at age 30, Wright says he was worried over his impending divorce. “I had been mar ried for ten years, and I couldn’t imagine getting a divorce,” he says. “The whole room lit up, and I heard the voice say ‘I’ve blessed you all your life. But every time I bless you, I become No. 3 or No. 4 on your priority list, behind dancing and having fun. Don’t worry about what is going to happen to your wife and kids. If you do what I ask, they’re going to be taken care of. I want to be No. 1 in your life.’ And I got back to
‘No thanks, I’m going to enjoy these years.’”
For two decades, Jason Pederson served as KATV-Channel 7’s Seven On Your Side reporter. Now on the other “side” of his award-win ning time on the news, he now serves as Deputy Chief of Community Engagement for the Arkansas Department of Human Services.

front of him. The second weekend, he and another woman went to see a James Brown concert at Robinson Center. At midnight, police an nounced the concert was over, and the crowd got unruly. A man stand ing next to Wright had his face cut like a razor by a bottle hurled at police. And the third weekend, Wright was at a dance in North Little Rock with his future wife when a man standing next to him was shot.

his divorce was friendly, finalized with a long kiss. He says he has been blessed with two good wives. And before that, a great education. He says most of his high school teachers at Horace Mann had master’s degrees, and some had, doctoral degrees. According to Wright, white schools might have had better buildings or books but not better

“When they closed down Central in ’58-’59, I was in ninth grade at Dunbar. So, when Central opened back up, I was going into 10th. They called me in to be in the next group to integrate Central. They said they wanted students who could do the academics and who had the right temperament. I told them, ‘Man, I had a responsibility to the ladies.’ I was a dancing man. I went to Horace Mann. I said, ‘Man, there’s 20 women waiting on me to come over to Horace Mann.’ I said

“Wheninstructors.integration took place in 1957, I was in the eighth grade,” he recalls. “I ran track in junior high, and we would walk from Dunbar to Central High. We saw the protesting crowd and the soldiers, and when the crowd started to encroach, one white fella crossed the line and they busted him across the head. Blood went everywhere.”
“The young lady who took my spot was named Sybil Jordan (now Dr. Sybil Jordan-Hampton). She went in that spot, and she became a RockefellerOpeningScholar.”doorsfor others, intentionally or otherwise, has been a trademark of Wright’s life; from Sybil Jordan, to his shoeshine appren tices, to his own four children. “Helping our children establish a good foundation and making sure that each knew Jesus at an early age is my greatest accomplishment,” Wright says. The Wrights also helped their children earn college degrees with minimal debt.
At 77, Wright knows there is more race behind him than in front of him. He appreciates the teaching of Paul in 1 Timothy 6, where Paul knows his death is near and shares some wisdom with Timothy. Right after instructing Timothy that the root of all evil is the love of money, Paul offers this final charge: “But you, man of God, flee from all of this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your confession in the presence of Matthewwitnesses.”13:43promises that, “The righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” Shining will be nothing new for Onzell Wright.

One of her girlfriends said she had talked to Bobo around 11 that morning. She had called to see if Bobo wanted to get together. Bobo said yes, but that she wasn’t sure if she could meet just yet, as she was waiting for a call from a man who had expressed interest in the E. McNeill Street house she was selling in Magnolia. He had prop erty out on Hwy 132 and was suggesting a possible trade. Shortly after the phone call ended, Bobo called her friend back to say the man said his car was being worked on. So instead of him taking a cab to the McNeill house, Bobo offered to pick him up at the E-Z Mart across from the Pontiac dealership. She’d probably be over at her friend’s house around 1:30 p.m.
170 er mother was the first to begin the search for her baby girl. Mary Jim mie Shinn – or “Bobo,” as she was affection ately known hadn’t come home for dinner; she hadn’t even called. Being in her early 20s, Bobo was certainly not a child any longer, but it wasn’t like her to worry her parents. No, something was not right. So, her mother started calling Bobo’s friends.

MYSTERY:MURDER Come Looking for Me
around back, stopped, opened the unlocked car door and looked for anything to confirm it was Bobo’s.
But Bobo never came or called. Her girlfriend told Mrs. Shinn that before Bobo hung up, she had jokingly said, “Come looking for me if I’m not back this afternoon.”
Jordan Brothers Pontiac dealership was closing as Mrs. Shinn arrived. The salesman said that he had seen a car like Bobo’s at the E-Z Mart around noon and that a man got in, but he didn’t see what the driver looked like. Later, on his drive home, the Jordan Brothers salesman saw a 1976 blue Buick sedan at the corner by Smitty’s Grocery Store. Strangely, it was parked behind the store. Employees later confirmed they had first seen it there not long after 1 p.m. Now, the Pontiac salesman drove
It was, he quickly discovered, the car he had sold the Shinns for Bobo’s graduation. While nothing looked alarming in the car, he knew Mrs. Shinn had to be told immediately. That night, July 20, 1978, law enforcement opened a case file: Mary Jimmie “Bobo”
Shinn of Magnolia was missing. It is a file that has never been closed.
Loe was assigned the case 10 months in. A formidable foe for criminals, Loe in 1982 was named the ASP Trooper of the Year for demonstrating excellence in investigatory skills after solving five high-profile murders that year. He not only had the skills, but he had a little skin in the game, too. To date, Sheriff Loe has never giv en up on the “very friendly, very bub bly” girl that took the same history class at SAU that he did. After his ASP retirement, he became Sheriff in Columbia County. Now, he can put his hands on every file related to the case –– and he does.
After the picture of Bobo’s car was published, the Columbia County Assessor called. He had been baling hay on property near Hwy. 32 the day of the disappearance, around noon, when his at tention was caught by a blue car, swerving from side-to-side on the road. It appeared that a man and woman inside were struggling. In deed, Bobo’s car revealed that it had been off-road. The car, washed the day before, had a coating of dust which there were scratches, indicating it had brushed up against shrubbery or trees. On the driver’s side floorboard, there were bits of hay, broken off when the door was closed.
If you know anything that can help bring Bobo home, please contact the Columbia County Sheriff’s Department at 870-2345331 or email info@columbiacountysheriff.org. You can remain
Bobo was a dark-haired beauty who could have easily made na tional magazine covers, but her heart was in her hometown. While in college, she did move into a dorm, although Southern Arkansas University was right there in Magnolia. Her mother gave her a talent for art, and from her father, a successful property developer, she inherited her interest in real estate. After graduation, Bobo opened an art studio downtown, teaching classes, just as she had done the day she went missing. The small house she bought to flip also put her paintbrush to good use. “Beginner’s Delight. Two-bedroom house completely remodeled. Good location,” read the classified ad she placed in the local newspaper, the Banner-News.
The custom gold and diamond necklace Bobo was wearing the day she disappeared.
It did not appear that anyone had been in the back seat or trunk. It was left with the windows rolled down, keys in the ignition. Bo bo’s purse with cash still inside indicated the motive was neither car theft nor robbery. It did not appear that the car had been wiped down. Fingerprints were found, but never identified, and the possi bility of them being Bobo’s couldn’t be ruled out. Bobo’s sunglasses and book were left sitting on the passenger seat, which was odd if someone had in fact been sitting there. And lodged under the brake pedal were Bobo’s white tennis shoes, size 8, still tied. “Those shoes,” says Columbia County Sheriff Mike Loe, “have always beenSometroubling.”ofArkansas’s finest in law enforcement were assigned the case. There were roadblocks, ground and aerial searches, dogs brought in, excavations made, interviews conducted, tips followed, polygraphs administered, hypnotists, psychics and even private in vestigators Gresham Shinn brought in to assist in the case. But cellphone data, GPS and security surveillance didn’t exist at the time. When nothing further could be found, the most a family in this situation could hope for was one bulldog of a cop, which they got in Loe. Then a young officer with the Arkansas State Police,
It’s unknown if those were the shoes Bobo was wearing when she picked up the man. Some theorized she might have slipped the shoes off to drive, but Loe is not convinced of that. That, her sister Linda said, wasn’t something that she had known Bobo to do. But Bobo and her friend often hung out by the pool of the new downtown motel her father had built. Were the shoes, sunglasses and the book instead intended for the pool?

Substantial media attention has been given to this case. Several YouTube videos are available, but it is very important to be aware that regardless of what has been put out there, only the facts relayed in this article reflect what has been verified and fully vetted. And both Sheriff Loe and the Shinns regard this as an unsolved case.
The answer remains unknown, as does the identity of the man. Some felt the fact that he had seen the ad in the paper indicated he was a local. Yet nothing to date has ruled him out as someone pass ing through town. Could he have been staying at the motel, work ing in the area, visiting someone? Might he have been at SAU with Bobo? And what has become of the custom gold and diamond necklace that Bobo wore that day? Have you seen it?
Witnesses have been reinter viewed and videotaped. Items have been submitted for new forensic testing. The FBI Behavioral Unit was unable to develop a full pro file of the man –– there is no crime scene to evaluate, and Bobo has never been found. The tennis shoes?
It appeared that Bobo had gone home to change after leaving the studio. “In her little dressing area of the bathroom, she had her curl ing iron plugged in and her makeup out,” said her older sister, Linda. Mrs. Shinn wasn’t home at the time, so she didn’t see what Bobo changed into and, of course, didn’t get the name of the man she was on her way to meet. A little after 11 that day, police were told that a man had come into the E-Z Mart asking for change so he use the pay phone. The description led to a compos ite of a white male, mid-20s, approximately 5’8, about 185-200 pounds with dark, curly hair. The E-Z Mart employee said that most notably, the man had a “lazy gait.”
father died, her mother consoled herself by saying “At least now he knows what happened to Bobo.” Meanwhile, here on Earth, the Shinn siblings and Sheriff Loe continue to honor Bobo’s request to come looking for her.
There is a haunting pain that remains for the family of those who disappear. Poignantly, Bobo’s sister tells how for years, her mother would not leave the house unless there was somebody there to answer the phone, just in case her Bobo called. Next to her par ents’ graves, there is now a tombstone for Bobo.

imagine a world without lightning bugs (or fireflies for some readers). A summer lacking these little creatures would be like a summer without lemonade, water melons or homemade ice cream. But recent reports indicate these specially equipped beetles are in trouble.
As for that magical flashing light, it’s caused by a chemical reaction known as bioluminescence. Specialized light-emitting organs on the lower abdomens of lightning bugs produce a “cold light” – which has been said to be the most efficient light in the world since none of the energy is wasted as heat. The process is too complicated for me to understand, much less explain. Let’s just say it involves oxygen, calcium, an enzyme and several chemicals with very long names.
As individuals, we can do several things to help ensure lightning bugs are welcome in our towns. We can be less tidy around neighborhood creeks, allowing downed limbs and branches and leaf litter to accumulate and pro vide habitat for these tiny creatures. We can provide water features in our yards, which will attract lightning bugs. We can include taller grasses – such as pink muhly grass and zebra grass – in our landscaping and also such plants as caraway, coriander and Queen Anne’s lace, all of which appeal to fireflies. We can minimize the application of pesticides. And we can reduce our use of exterior lighting.

I’m making a few changes in support of lightning bugs – and I hope you will, too.
Lightning Bugs
One problem is familiar: loss of habitat. The larvae of lightning bugs require rotting logs and limbs and for est litter near standing water of some sort to thrive. With urban growth and development, many of the breeding sites preferred by these beetles are disappearing.Another problem, although not yet well understood by scientists, is light pollution. Lightning bugs use their flashing illumination as signals –to attract mates, defend territories and discourage predators. Artificial light ing can seriously interfere with these eons-old communications. Observers have determined, for instance, that automobile headlights sweeping over a field will disrupt the flashing routine of lightning bugs. In short, the steady loss of our night skies is making interactions between male and female fireflies more difficult, leading to fewer larvae every year.
176
About 2,000 species of fireflies exist across the globe and can be found on every continent with the exception of Antarctica. Strangely enough, they’re rarely seen west of the Rockies in this country. Favoring warm, moist environments, lightning bugs have been mesmerizing Arkansans on summer evenings for generations. We seem to still have a good supply of them, although I’m pretty sure I saw more during my youth than I do these days. My friends and I would carefully catch the lightning bugs in our hands and place them in Mason jars, giving us each our own little glass lantern.Lightning bugs have an interesting life cycle. After mating, females de posit their fertilized eggs on the ground or just below its surface. Hatching three to four weeks later, the larvae feed until summer’s end and then hi bernate through the winter, some beneath the bark of trees and others un derground. They reappear in the spring and eat for several weeks, primarily consuming other larvae, land snails, worms and slugs. They then pupate for 7 to 15 days before emerging as adult lightning bugs. The adult diet remains
