Bishop out as ES Chamber leader By Scott Loftis
CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
Mike Bishop was terminated as president and chief executive officer of the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce on Monday, and sources confirmed that the firing was related to last week’s release of a Chamber position statement regarding the city’s new anti-discrimination law. In addition to Bishop’s dismissal, Toni Rose resigned as the Chamber’s director of operations on Monday. Allen Huffman resigned as chairman of the Chamber’s board of directors last week and Sandy Martin also resigned from the board last week. Cathy Handley is the board’s new chairman, according to Kent Butler, who said he is now vice chairman of the board. Contacted Monday afternoon, Handley referred a call for comment to Butler, who confirmed the changes.
Asked about Bishop, Butler said: “He’s no longer employed. We are taking applications. I’m not going to say anything else.” Rose said the firing came in response to the position statement on Eureka Springs Ordinance 2223, which prohibits businesses from discriminating against individuals based on their sexual orientation or gender identification. The Chamber’s position statement expressed several concerns about the ordinance. The position statement was initially released to the Citizen on Feb. 20. It was described in an email from Rose to Citizen Associate Editor Alana Cook as “our public statement.” Rose said Tuesday that the Chamber’s executive committee, which at the time included Huffman, Handley, Butler, Rusty Windle, Wade Williams and Scott Smith, discussed the situation at a meeting on Feb. 12. She said Bishop opened
the discussion by telling the committee he had received inquiries from the media regarding Ordinance 2223 and wanted to know how to respond. According to Rose, the committee “approved all of the talking points that went into the position statement.” After receiving the statement from Rose, Cook shared it with Lamont Richie, president of the Eureka Springs Gay Business Guild, so that he could comment for a news story. Richie then posted the statement online. Cook also shared the initial draft of her news story with Rose on Feb. 22. Later that day, Rose emailed an updated version of the position statement to Cook, explaining that there was a change in the opening statement “and slightly in the body.” Cook quoted from the updated position statement in a story that appeared in the Feb. 26 issue of the Citizen. On Tuesday, Rose said that the updated
Repeal 2223
position statement was issued after Bishop discussed the issue with Huffman. She said the Chamber board cited the release of the position statement to the Citizen as the basis for Bishop’s dismissal. “The board fired Mike because they said he was insubordinate in releasing the position paper to the Citizen,” Rose said. Rose said she was designated to take notes during the Feb. 12 meeting of the executive committee when the talking points of the position paper were discussed. “Allen Huffman and the executive committee approved the talking points,” she said. “At no time did they tell him (Bishop) not to send that statement to the press.” Rose said she resigned after Bishop was fired. “They fired him on a lie,” she said.

Last weekend’s winter weather left roads slick and resulted in several accidents.
More winter precipitation expected By Samantha Jones
CCNNews@cox-internet.com
After a weekend of winter precipitation that led to several traffic accidents, Carroll County was expected to receive another round of ice, sleet and snow this week. Joe Sellers, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Tulsa, said the county should expect three to four inches of snow Wednesday. He said the precipitation would begin Tuesday with rain showers, leading into freezing rain, sleet and snow as the temperatures drop. “Tuesday and Wednesday are going to be pretty eventful,” he said. The county received similar precipitation over the weekend, with snow and sleet falling Saturday. Randy Ates, interim chief of the Eureka Springs Fire Department, said there was a considerable number of traffic accidents Saturday and Sunday because of the weather. “Fortunately, the number of injuries was fairly low,” he said, noting one head-on collision that resulted in a head injury. According to a press release from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, the office responded to 67 calls for service. These calls, the release states, included 14 accidents,
abandoned vehicles or traffic hazards. The press release said county dispatchers also assigned 22 accidents to the Arkansas State Police, five to the Berryville Police Department and one to the Green Forest Police Department. Ates suggested that Carroll County residents prepare for the inclement weather as soon as possible. Preparations, he said, include purchasing groceries, charging cell phones and being aware of the needs of neighbors. “Don’t forget we have a lot of older folks in our neighborhoods. It’s so important that we help each other. We’re a small town and we depend on each other,” he said. He said the fire department had already begun preparing for the weather by staffing extra crews when the weather is supposed to hit and checking the tires of all vehicles. “Arkansas weather can be fickle. Sometimes ice can build up and lead to a nightmare,” he said. Though it will still be cold Thursday, Sellers said the county shouldn’t expect more precipitation. By Friday, he said, temperatures should be warming up to the mid-40s, with temperatures in the 50s over the weekend.
Charles T. Cross, president and chief executive officer of Cornerstone Bank in Eureka Springs has announced the upcoming expansion of the bank into southwest Missouri with a loan production office in Shell Knob. The local bank has been announcing continued expansion plans recently but this will be its first office in Missouri. However, Cross said this is the first of what will most likely be even greater expansion across southwest Missouri. “This market is one that we have a keen interest in pursuing, as we feel with its proximity to some of our current locations and with existing clients already within the area, we can begin to develop our presence there,” Cross said. “We certainly have ambitions to eventually expand to other parts of southwest Missouri moving forward and feel confident we will do so in the future.”
Cornerstone is a $170 million, 103-year-old institution. The bank is currently under construction with a full service branch facility in Madison County next to the new Walmart Supercenter in Huntsville on Highway 412. “Our bank has been blessed with tremendous performance and growth in recent years and we plan to continue some strategic expansion in areas within northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri,” Cross said. “Our brand of personal banking and strong relationship-building with our clients has been key to our continued success in each of our markets. We are currently considering a multitude of options as it relates to our planned expansion. As our client base continues to grow it affords us the opportunity to introduce Cornerstone Bank to other great communities in and around these areas. “

Pine Mountain Village in Eureka Springs was sold for approximately $1.1 million on Friday to Paul Johnson, owner of Pig Trail Harley Davidson.
Pine Mountain Village sells for $1.1 million By David Frank Dempsey Lovely County Citizen
Paul Johnson, owner of Pig Trail Harley Davidson, purchased Pine Mountain Village in Eureka Springs on Friday. The property was sold by the Dave/Deanna Drennon Trust for approximately $1.1 million. Johnson announced in a brief press release Monday that he would open Eureka Springs Harley-Davidson in the Village in April. In addition to the Pig Trail Harley-Davidson store in Rogers Johnson owns the Rockin’ Pig Saloon and the Pig Trail Harley-Davidson T-shirt shop at Gaskins Switch in Eureka Springs. The press release did not say where in the approximately 40-acre Village the motorcycle store
will be located. The press release stated “This location will be the future site of large events and rallies not limited to the motorcycle industry but also activities highlighting the diverse nature of the city.” Pine Mountain Village was home to the recently closed Pine Mountain Jamboree. The Village has about a dozen other shops and businesses surrounding its large open and paved parking. The Eureka Springs Farmers Market is held in the parking lot. Pine Mountain Jamboree and the nearest building of shops were built in 1980, while the rest of the buildings, including the Chamber of Commerce office, were built in 1990.
Citizen of the Week
Imagine picking up the newspaper and seeing your photo in a story about another person. Some folks might be hopping mad, but not Richard Bost. Last week’s Citizen of the Week feature mistakenly included a picture of Bost rather than the actual honoree. Apparently, the photo was mislabeled in our files. To his credit, Richard took the mistake in stride and was very friendly and good-hearted about it.
We should also point out that Richard is a retired firefighter who served 28 years on the Midland City, Okla., Fire Department. He is also a Navy veteran who served two tours of duty in Vietnam. For his positive attitude, his forgiving spirit and his history of service to others, we hereby name Richard Bost our Citizen of the Week for March 5, 2015. Congratulations, Richard, and thanks.

Branson-style stage show to perform regularly at Aud By David Frank Dempsey Lovely County Citizen
EUREKA SPRINGS — A deal to bring a Branson-type stage show to the Aud was agreed upon and signed after the City Advertising and Promotion Commission met in a special meeting with show producer Bob Nichols on Tuesday. A proposed contract was turned down on Feb. 25 after CAPC members insisted on several stipulations that Nichols found unacceptable. “Lovin’ Every Minute — The Steve Kinworthy Show” is a song and dance show of jazz and classic rock tunes with an onstage cast of about a dozen members. The new contract will allow Nichols to rent the Aud for $270 per show for a total of about 140 shows a year. The show will staff and operate 100 percent of the concessions — this was a major sticking point in the earlier contract that was rejected. It was resolved by raising the per-performance fee from $250 to $270. The per-performance fee is straight across the board, replacing an earlier suggestion of a $6,000 monthly fee.
Also helping to offset the loss of concessions, the city will collect $2 on ticket sales above 100 and below 300 for each show. The show will staff everything except a house manager’s position that must, by law, be provided by the city. Nichols agreed that his ushers would all be trained in fire safety as are the volunteer ushers that currently staff other performances at the Aud. The show’s ushers will also do light janitorial work for each performance, cleaning restrooms and cleaning up after spills, but they will not do heavy janitorial work like the deep cleaning of carpets. Nichols said it will cost about $100,000 to get the show up and running. That includes about $40,000 for special lighting and other equipment. He agreed to put up a guarantee of $10,000 that the city would keep if the show failed and left before the season is completed. The $10,000 would roll over as the next year’s guarantee at the end of a completed season. The commissioners insisted on the guarantee because if the show failed then the city would have
difficulty booking other acts late in the season. The Aud has maintenance costs of more than $340 a day even when it is unused. It lost about $14,000 for the city last year. Nichols said he had every confidence that the show could be a success in Eureka Springs. Commissioner James DeVito pointed out that the city’s advertising would benefit the show and that the audience for the show is, essentially, already there. Nichols agreed, saying of the CAPC, “We couldn’t even come down here (from Branson) if you guys weren’t already bringing in a lot of people here. Our marketing people will meet face to face with people in the lodging business.” He predicted that the show, because it is an evening event, would bring in more overnight visitors than day-trippers.
Nichols had wanted to open the show in the middle of April, but because of problems in reaching a workable contract May is now the earliest possible month for opening. The contract that was agreed upon Tuesday would have to be renegotiated in October. The late opening date put some heat on the CAPC and Nichols who said, “I need to walk away from here with a signed contract.” He had considered renting the Pine Mountain Jamboree building for the show, but preferred the Aud. Ticket costs were predicted to be about $32.50 to $34.50 each. Nichols said that once the show is settled in they expect to sell 150-200 tickets per-performance. “Lovin’ Every Minute — The Steve Kinworthy Show” is touted as a family-oriented song and dance stage show. Parts of the act can be viewed on YouTube.
Chamber
Carroll County
Asked if her resignation was a matter of principle, Rose replied: “If you don’t have any honor or principle, then what’s the point?” According to the Chamber’s website, the remaining board members in addition to those who serve on the executive committee are Rod McGuire, Fatima Treuer, Lynn Worley, Lisa McMahon, Steve Womack and Scott Smith. None of the board members other than Handley or Butler could be reached for comment Monday. Neither Huffman nor Martin returned telephone messages. Rumors began circulating late last week that Bishop had been terminated. He was at work Monday morning at the Chamber office, but indicated that the board was meeting at the time and his status could change by the afternoon. Rose said that Handley, Butler and McMahon were the board members who came to the Chamber office to notify Bishop of his termination. She said that Bishop was told the board vote was unanimous, although it is unclear if all board
members were present for the vote. Ordinance 2223 was adopted by the Eureka Springs City Council after three readings at its Feb. 9 meeting and signed into law the next day by Mayor Butch Berry. Last week, the council voted to hold a special election on May 12 and allow the city’s voters to decide whether to keep the ordinance or remove it from city code. The Chamber position statement says that the chamber is concerned that the city council did not exercise due process when it passed the ordinance, and that the law could make businesses vulnerable to lawsuits and make it difficult to do business in the city. Bishop became the Chamber’s interim director in February 2011 and held that position for eight months before he was appointed as president and CEO in October 2011. Bishop has worked as an entertainer and business owner in Eureka Springs since 2001. He and his wife, Dale, had operated the Pine Mountain Theater and performed in the nightly production for several years before announcing in November that the show would not return in 2015.

Opera in the Ozarks names Preis general director Opera in the Ozarks at Inspiration Point has named Dr. Nancy J. Preis its new general director. Preis will start in May, and will be assisted during a transition period by Jim Swiggart, the former general director of Opera in the Ozarks who is currently serving as the interim general director. Carole Langley, president Preis of the governing board, said the company conducted a nationwide search before selecting Preis. “Her resume was outstanding and we are thrilled that she has agreed to join us,” Langley said. Preis holds a doctoral degree in accounting and finance from the University of Michigan and has had an impressive career in both academia and business. Her passion is opera, however, and she currently serves as the volunteer chief financial officer, marketing manager and occasional costume manager with the St. Petersburg Opera Company in Florida. She was an associate professor at the Graduate School of Business of Columbia University in New York City. She was subsequently a vice president of Kleinwort Benson N.A., a British merchant banking company. She was part of leveraged buyout team and specialized in middle market investment analysis. She moved to Florida to take over the management of a small electric motor company. Through acquisitions, she put together a group of specialty manufacturing companies. The companies design and manufacture components for transportation, industrial, medical and military applications. She grew
those companies to their present size of nearly 150 employees with revenues in excess of $15 million (from $200,000 at the time of her hiring). She became involved in The Florida Orchestra first as a season ticket holder and later as a board member. She became friends with one of its principal musicians, a bassoonist, who later founded the St. Petersburg Opera. From modest beginnings 10 years ago, the opera company now produces five main-stage productions a year and has an annual budget of nearly $1 million. It was her vision that led the company to purchase and raise the money for a production facility where all opera operations other than major performances take place. The St. Petersburg Opera experience has given Preis a substantial amount of expertise in artistic management, fundraising and grant-writing, all of which are skills which are important for the Opera in the Ozarks’ new general director. Preis is enthusiastic about coming to Eureka Springs. “I look forward to applying the skills I have developed at St. Petersburg Opera and in my business career to help Opera in the Ozarks achieve the next level in its long history of successes,” she said. “I love working with singers, musicians and creative people. What could be better than the opportunity to make great music and develop great musicians except to put it all together in the original multimedia production?” Now in its 65th year, Opera in the Ozarks at Inspiration Point has earned the reputation of being a prominent training program for all singers interested in pursuing a career in opera. Opera in the Ozarks at Inspiration Point Fine Arts Colony, often referred to as “The Point,” is an intensive eight-week summer training and performance program for young singers, selected from competitive national auditions.

Warm up with some good music!
he sun is coming out this weekend and so should you. Coming from Hot springs are two bands, MoonshineMafia and the Christine DeMeo Band. MoonshineMafia is known for southern rock, blues, roots and rock while Christine DeMeo is known for acoustic, jazz and pop. They have whatever you might like covered. Reece Sullivan, of Lafayette, La., will be here with his blend of Americana, country and folk, which he refers to as tragicomic modern folk. Doesn’t that sound sure to please? Cary Morin, from Colorado, will be here playing native Americana fingerstyle blues. The Souveneers will be playing country, rockabilly and folk and showing us how it is done in the Missouri River Valley. Matt Smith & Ocie Fisher, Opium Western, as well as Outlaw Hippies will be here also. Harpeth Rising will be here Sunday performing for the Eureka House Concerts at
the Eureka UU church. They are a Nashville-based folk band who were all classically trained. On Sunday afternoon, try to see the “We’ve Got Talent Concert” at the Aud sponsored by the Carroll County Music Group. It raises money for students to attend a music camp.

The Natural Way An unpleasant surprise
D
eep in the warm darkness something was forming. The creation wasn’t living and Jim Fain its final form didn’t appear to be of this living world. It started out as a piece of grit, basic and profane and became a smooth cluster of like-minded particles. It gained a fair appearance much like a pearl in an oyster. From there it transformed to a multi-spiked, almost alien, looking rare object called a jack stone. The many sharp spikes grew as stalagmites would in the darkness. Jack stones are found in our urinary bladder and are fortunately rare. They are usually made out of calcium oxalate, though the core can be made out of uric acid. The trouble is this oddity can be in place for years, ever growing larger, without making itself known. I know: I have just had one surgically removed. Mine was the size of a walnut but with multiple spikes similar to the child’s game “jacks.” Except these jacks were pointed and sharp. Honestly, looking backward, I didn’t have a clue this was growing in me. My only symptom was one of urinary frequency not uncommon for an aging man. In fact, I thought I, like many men, had an enlarged prostate from benign hypertrophy (BPH). That is until the 9.5 on a scale of 10 pain struck out of the blue. The jack stone had shifted position with the sharp points digging into new bladder tissue. Partly because of having no history of urinary stones I undertook a course of therapy for a bladder infection. Understand, my own products that normally work well and quickly on bladder infections didn’t touch this, so I opted for a medical approach. After a course of antibiotics the pain went away and I followed with supplemental probiotics. Turns out this was coincidental ... the sharp spikes simply settled in and my body had adjusted. The pain went away. That is until the stone shifted again six weeks later. Again, searing pain along with stronger antibiotics but this time with no effect at all. A contrast CT scan showed no bladder/prostate cancer but only this huge alien-looking bladder stone. Google “bladder stone urinary” if you want to see one. I was scheduled for surgery and it was removed the old and difficult way because of its size. I spent two nights in the hospital and with any luck at all the 10 stitches and catheter will be removed tomorrow after about 11 days. The natural health side of this includes the See Fain, page 17
Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: Enjoy your shining star moment, because on Thursday you’ll fall from the sky like a meteor hurtling toward a parked car. Others will hear the car alarm when you crash, but all you hear through that bulletproof ego is a fanfare. TAURUS: Yes, the world is magic, but it’s more cheap card trick than receiving a letter for Hogwarts. Your best shot is to practice your handwork and find a hottie with far fewer brain cells than yourself. So, yeah, it will be a challenge. GEMINI: Someone’s acting the dirty rat, but they don’t realize they’re the lab mouse in your maze. Go ahead, be heartless and plunk down some soy cheese. CANCER: On Thursday you’ll sprout wings and soar toward the heartthrob of your dreams. On Friday, you’ll discover the bug zapper. If you can stay away from the light, you’ll have much more fun in the dark. If not, stock up on burn cream. LEO: Your mojo is set on high all week long, and you’re feeling smoother than Bigfoot after a Brazilian. Rip off that old layer while you’re waxing poetic and go for the gusto. VIRGO: You can dance if you want to, but don’t leave your friends behind. Because your friends can’t dance and if they can’t dance, they can at least buy the Jell-O shots while you’re on the floor showing off your Safety Dance moves. LIBRA: Tuesday is a drop in the bucket, but Friday is a fire hose blowing the bucket away. Probably time to find some dry socks and a bigger bucket for your ambitions, like an empty pool. SCORPIO: People don’t have to know you to love you; in fact, it’s better if they don’t know you at all when you two meet in the broom closet on the fourth floor. Bonus: the moaning and banging makes your co-workers believe the building is haunted.

SAGITTARIUS: Quit beating yourself up, because you’re a mean fighter. Sure, you need a break, but ending up in a body cast is the wrong kind of break. Take some quiet time before you end up trying to scratch an itch with a coat hanger.

life choices on Wednesday. Your “Aha!” moment shouldn’t involve someone in a trenchcoat, mud boots and a battery-operated twirling bra. PISCES: It’s fine to avoid the drama llamas and keep company with an emotionally stable wombat, but a little excitement is good for you.

Harvey selected for Extension leadership program EUREKA SPRINGS — Heather Harvey of Eureka Springs is one of 22 men and women representing 15 Arkansas counties to take part in LeadAR, a leadership development program sponsored by the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, Cooperative Extension Service. Harvey attended a three-day seminar in Little Rock on Feb. 5-7, focusing on major issues facing the state, including agriculture, education, the environment, the criminal justice system and legislative issues. The seminar was the first of 11 seminars that Harvey will take part in during the next two years, according to Bobby Hall, LeadAR director. The LeadAR program also includes a national and an international study tour and a community service project. “The purpose of the seminars and tours is to enhance leadership skills and give participants
a better understanding of key economic and social issues facing Arkansas and the nation,” Hall said. “I am really hoping to have the opportunity to interact—or learn how to interact— with my community to better the lives of residents in the area.” Harvey said. Harvey LeadAR was begun in 1984 with a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The program is now funded by the Extension Service, private foundations, companies, individuals and organizations in Arkansas. Harvey and the other members of her LeadAR class were selected from a field
of qualified candidates based on their applications and personal interviews. Selection criteria included proven leadership potential and work in the community. Harvey’s class is the 17th to participate in LeadAR since the program was begun in 1984 by the Cooperative Extension Service, University of Arkansas. The program has graduated more than 461 adults since its inception. Harvey has lived in Eureka Springs for 15 years. She works for Dymark Sign and Display in Rogers designing “mock-ups” for large corporations such as Wal-Mart, Tyson, and Disney. She is passionate about shedding light on the vital role water plays in our lives. To learn more about LeadAR, visit, http//:www.uaex.edu/leadar.
