GRAND OPENING
The City of North Little Rock proudly celebrated the opening of the Baptist Health Family Clinic – Rose City on September 4. The full-service medical clinic is a partnership between the City of North Little Rock and Baptist Health.
“In addition to advancing Baptist Health’s mission of providing quality services with Christian compassion, we believe this clinic will help improve health care access for residents in the Rose City neighborhood so they can get the care they need closer to home,” said Troy Wells, president and CEO of Baptist Health. “Baptist Health continues to provide quality health care and we are pleased they have partnered with our city in creating this health clinic for our residents,” Hartwick said. “The east part of North Little Rock is the fastest growing part of our city. We have three new factories, new homes, and are excited for this clinic to support our growth. The location of this clinic is vital for North Little Rock.” The 6,500-square-foot clinic is located at 4200 East Washington Avenue. Taggart Architects of North Little Rock designed the clinic and Alessi Keyes Construction of Maumelle led construction on the approximately $5 million project. Baptist Health Family Clinic-Rose City will serve patients Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Youth Council Mayor’s
Jan Scholl:A public servant and teacher for over 55 years has dedicated her life to teens in North Little Rock. Jan Scholl taught in public schools locally for 30 years. She was named North Little Rock Teacher of the Year and the Arkansas Teacher of the Year in 1990. Over 25 years ago after Jan retired, Mayor Patrick Hays appointed her to serve as the Director of the newly-formed North Little Rock Mayor’s Youth Council. Jan organized and grew the Mayor’s Youth Council and has worked fiercely and considers it a blessing to serve the community and watch our youth grow through service. Jan shared recently that her work with the Mayor’s Youth Council has been her greatest joy in life. While Jan is not quitting the Council, she is slowing down as Jill Mills steps into the director’s role.
Jan met Jill Mills when her son, Reece, joined the Council. Jan could immediately see that Jill possessed the same passion for working with and making investments in our youth as she did. Jan shared, “Jill is full of fun and energy and loves kids as much as I do. Jill has volunteered with the Council and The Ronald McDonald House monthly. Jill will do a great job as the new Director of the Mayor’s Youth Council. Jill believes in helping children and their families achieve success by providing support services
and coordinating effective community and program supports.” I am grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of it, while at the same time investing in our teens. I am incredibly humbled and honored that Jan wanted to pass the torch to me,” said Jill. Jan and Jill are both excited about the continued success of the Mayor’s Youth Council. Jan will still be around and very much involved to support Jill in her new role.

The North Little Rock Police Department has officially launched its latest public safety initiative–a Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) designed to provide critical and actionable information that speeds up investigations and emergency response and keeps residents and businesses safer. This advanced center is set to become a cornerstone in the city’s strategy for enhancing public safety. The RTCC employs cutting-edge technology to monitor and analyze real-time data, allowing officers to respond swiftly and effectively to incidents as they occur.
One of the key features of the RTCC is its ability to integrate various data sources such as high-definition cameras including traffic cameras. This holistic approach enables the center to identify patterns, predict potential
criminal activity, and deploy resources where they are needed most. For example, if a vehicle is reported stolen, the system can immediately flag it across multiple cameras, significantly increasing the chances of recovery. As North Little Rock steps into this new era of crime fighting, the RTCC stands as a testament to the city’s dedication to leveraging technology for the greater good. With its promise of enhanced safety and more efficient policing, the RTCC is poised to set a new standard for urban crime management and serve as a model for other communities seeking to modernize their approach to public safety.
Let’s Work Together to Fight Crime!
“Continuing to build a real partnership between our residents and businesses and our Police Department is the key to a successful public safety landscape. This new platform will enable us to operate more efficiently to create a safer city for our residents. I strongly urge all the security camera owners in the community to take part in this amazing new program.” - Chief Patrick Thessing, North Little

Rock Police Department. Property owners and businesses are invited to register their security cameras with Connect North Little Rock at www.connectnorthlittlerock.org. By setting up a voluntary camera registration process, the need for door-to-door canvassing is eliminated and valuable time can be used elsewhere. Residential / Business Cameras: Camera registration does not give live video access to NLRPD. If a crime occurs in a particular area, investigators will know almost immediately if video evidence might be available at a particular location and who to contact to retrieve it. Business Cameras: In addition to the camera registry, NLRPD is offering business owners the option to integrate their video security systems to include live video feeds to the department. By installing a small CORE device on their network, businesses can share live video feeds with the police department in emergencies to improve employee safety and police response. To preserve privacy, a business can choose what cameras they would like the RTCC to have access to. This option can also be found at www.connectnorthlittlerock.org.
Please contact the NLRPD Real Time Crime Center at 501-274-4700 / RTCC@nlrpolice.org, if you have any questions about registering your camera or the integration process.

WORKING TOGETHER TO KEEP NORTH LITTLE ROCK SAFE!
• Please share the location of your security cameras with the North Little Rock Police Department.

New FIRE STATIONS
Central Fire Station 1
Construction has begun on the new 22,000-square-foot Central Fire Station located at 1301 Main Street. The project has a total cost of $13.8 million which includes the land, demolition of the existing building, architecture and design fees, construction, furnishings and information technology related costs. The new station, funded by the half-cent sales tax, is expected to be completed at the end of 2025.
Blaze Fire Station 11
Opening September 26 ...in construction
The new, 7,600-square-foot fire house is located off Arkansas Highway 165 and will serve residents and businesses in the east part of North Little Rock. The site was selected because it will provide quick access to Highways 165 and 391 as well as U.S. Interstate 440. This will enable the North Little Rock Fire Department to quickly respond to all parts of Ward 2. The new, modern two-bay fire station will allow room to grow as the east part of our city continues to develop. Initially, one engine and three firefighters will occupy the new station with plans of adding an aerial truck in the future. The new station includes: five bedrooms, watch office, ready room, kitchen, dining area, two pull-through apparatus bays, decontamination corridor, safe room, and gym. The modern industrial design of the new station will match its location and will help encourage further commercial and residential growth in Ward 2. Funded by the half-cent sales tax, the estimated cost is $4.6 million. Bunny Brown with Jackson Brown and Palculict Architects designed the station and CBM Construction is the construction manager.
The North Little Rock Animal Shelter received a $40,000 grant earlier this year from Best Friends Animal Society to implement the North Little Rock Animal Shelter’s Community Cat Program. The Community Cat Program, known as the Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) Program began in the 1950s in Great Britain and made it’s way to the United States when the state of Florida piloted the program. TNVR is now popular in both large and small communities throughout the United States, urban and rural. The TNVR, or NLR Community Cat Program includes four steps: 1) cats are humanely trapped and evaluated by staff, 2) spayed or neutered, 3) vaccinated for rabies, and 4) returned to where they were trapped. Studies have shown that targeted TNVR programs can reduce community cat populations. The Community Cat program in North Little Rock is a modern approach to the management of outdoor cats and is planned to result in the reduction of shelter euthanasia and population stabilization. The City of North Little Rock is excited about educating residents and implementing the Community Cat/TNVR program. For more information, please call the North Little Rock Shelter at 501-791-8577.
Expansion nearing completion at NLR
NLR Community Cat Program Animal Shelter
The expansion and renovation of the North Little Rock Animal Shelter will be completed in late 2024.

The Animal Shelter is located inside Burns Park at #1 Championship Drive. Look for a grand opening announcement soon.
Residents Asked to Create a Safety Profile
Public safety officials in North Little Rock, Arkansas are urging residents to take a proactive step towards enhancing emergency response efforts by signing up for Smart911. This free service enables individuals and families to create a safety profile, providing crucial information to 9-1-1 dispatchers. Smart911, available in all 50 states and utilized by over 3,500 municipalities nationwide, empowers residents to share vital details that can make a significant difference during emergencies.
By creating a Smart911 Profile at www.smart911.com or through the Smart911 App, residents can ensure that first responders have access to key information such as emergency contacts, medical history, property layouts, and the number of individuals and pets on the property. The privacy and security of resident’s information is paramount, with Smart911 ensuring that data is only accessible to the 9-1-1 system during emergency calls.
The Smart911 App, available on the Apple Store and Google Play, offers a convenient way for residents to create and manage their Safety Profiles. Together, we can build a safer and more resilient North Little Rock for all residents.

The Hub Celebrates a Decade of INNOVATION
In the heart of North Little Rock, Arkansas, a beacon of innovation has been shining bright for a decade. The Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Since its inception in September 2014, the Hub has been an integral part of revitalizing the Argenta district, dedicated to improving the lives of youth and adults in Arkansas by inspiring innovation and expanding opportunities for all. “Programs are supported by generous donors and partners. Without them, The Hub would not be here. They are a 90% grant-funded nonprofit, and the support from our donors enables us to empower the dreams of those we serve. The Hub would like to take this opportunity to share our appreciation for each and every sponsor, from inception to today and beyond!”
Community Gardens
Baring Cross Community Garden
The Baring Cross community garden has been transformed over the last year in appearance and popularity. The garden is located near 13th Street and Pike Avenue. Many neighbors pick fresh vegetables weekly from the garden. This year, the garden has produced almost 4,000 pounds of produce that has been distributed to the community. The garden contains six unheated greenhouses or high tunnels which extend the growing season. The garden has an automated drip irrigation system, along with weed suppression techniques in the high tunnels which allows workers to focus on maintaining and harvesting produce rather than spending hours pulling weeds. Pear, apple, and plum trees as well as four bee hives were added to the garden throughout the year. Members of the nearby Acts Church have served as great partners by assisting with the distribution of produce directly to homes.
Dark Hollow Community Garden
The Dark Hollow Community Garden in North Little Rock is alive and thriving! It has been such a great experience to assist in bringing the garden back to a productive state where it can now benefit nearby residents. The revitalization of the garden did not happened overnight. Many in the Dark Hollow community volunteered their time and hard work to develop the garden into a thriving and producing part of the community! All produce grown is available to anyone in the Dark Hollow community. This fall, peach, apple, and pear trees will be planted behind the raised beds. Everyone in the community is excited and appreciative of the work that has been completed. This garden has had a positive impact on the Dark Hollow Community.
NLR's Hero...Veteran Dub t oombs
William C. “Dub” Toombs, a longtime North Little Rock resident, flew his first mission for the United States Air Force on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Mr. Toombs, an 85 year resident of the Amboy neighborhood, graduated from North Little Rock High School in 1942. Mr. Toombs was a flight engineer in the U.S. Air Force, stationed in Debach, England. He flew 20 missions in the B-24 and eight missions in the B-17. He was in the 8th Air Force/493rd Bombardment Group. He was shot down during flight over Belgium and rescued by the French Marquis resistance.
Mr. Toombs recently returned from the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France as an honored guest of the Best Defense Foundation and Delta Airlines. He was one of 48 American veterans honored on a nine-day commemorative trip in June to honor veterans for their service in World War II. The veterans were greeted and honored by the French and treated like royalty. President Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron participated in the ceremony.
Mr. Toombs has received several awards for his service: the Distinguished Flying Cross, an Air Medal with four oak leaf clusters, the French Legion of Honor for service on D-Day, and the Jubilee Freedom Medal for service in the Normandy Campaign. Mr. Toombs was also inducted into the Arkansas Military Hall of Fame. Mr. Toombs along with other World War II veterans, was featured in a movie, The Cold Blue, in 2019 which is now streaming on Max. Mr. Toombs, who turned 100 earlier this year, has been a member of Amboy Methodist Church for 60 years, is a 32nd Degree Mason at the Crescent Masonic Lodge, and is retired from Union Pacific Railroad. He was married to Faye Toombs for 74 years until her passing in 2022. He is most proud of his daughter, Nancy, of Park Hill and son, Clay, of Carrollton Texas. Logan Campbell, Mr. Toombs’ neighbor of 58 years, says “Dub can be found on his front porch several times a week happy to discuss whatever is on your mind. He has a lot of technical knowledge and enjoys sharing. He uses his friend ‘Siri’ to make phone calls for him on his smartphone and route the audio to his hearing aids. He talks to his television remote to change channels and uses his iPad to read the paper.” Dub enjoys watching westerns on television, the Razorbacks, and most anything to do with golf. Logan has a word of warning for his neighbors in Amboy: “Watch out on Sunday mornings because when Dub feels up to it, he still drives himself to church!”.
The Patrick Henry Hays Senior Citizens Center & the
NEHEMIAH HOUSE
The Patrick Henry Hays Senior Citizens Center has developed a wonderful partnership and friendship with the men from The Nehemiah House, a part of Union Rescue Mission. By their acts of service, kindness, and respect for others, these men have proven themselves to be an asset to our community. For years, the Master Gardeners have taken great care of a portion
of the flowerbeds at the Hays Center, however, a large portion of the flowerbeds were left unattended. The men spread four loads of mulch and planted 50 plants within a couple of hours. They were extremely respectful and worked hard until everything was completed. Thanks to the men of The Nehemiah House the remaining flowerbeds received much-needed attention and now provide a welcoming entrance to the Hays Center. Thanks to the Recovery Director Tim Lawson and the staff of The Nehemiah House for the dedication they pour into the men. They truly make a difference.
The Nehemiah House offers a 9–12-month Drug and Alcohol Recovery Program for men dealing with chemical addiction. For more information, call 501-374-4022 or visit www.urmissionlr.org.
