Clear Spring School offers different approach to education By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

At Clear Spring School, students of all ages work with their hands on a daily basis. “There’s a lot of research behind doing anything with your hands being very stimulating for brain development and brown growth, so whatever you’re doing — music, art, whatever — provides you with a really good basis for learning,” Charles Templeton said. Templeton, head of the school, said the school hopes to apply that concept at any given opportunity. One of those opportunities, he said, is a fundraiser for the school being held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, March 12, at Castle Rogue’s Manor. The fundraiser will feature dancing and an art auction. “It’s a lot of fun. Artists like the whole concept of learning by doing because they’re artists. Hopefully it’ll generate some money for our operations,” Templeton said. All proceeds from the event, he noted, will help the school operate better. Because the school is private, Templeton explained, there’s no tax base to help with financial needs. “We’re constantly seeking money. We’re not any different from any other private institution. We’re all seeking to raise more money because that’s the way you grow and expand,” Templeton said. Student tuition and fundraisers like this one, he said, help the school provide educational opportunities for students. Templeton described some of the programs the school needs money for, saying students in the woodshop class have been creating banjos and Civil War checkerboards. Students Owen Evans, 7 years old, and Olivia Lindsay, 9 years old, said they enjoy woodshop and art class more than any other classes. Owen showed off his banjo; though it isn’t done yet, he said he’s looking forward to painting it to set it apart from the other banjos being made in class. “I really like woodshop,” Owen said. The idea behind such hands-on projects, Templeton said, is based on instituting a progressive education for all stu-

dents. “People get a mistaken impression of what progressive means. It’s just a philosophy that kids learn better by doing things rather than sitting in a seat,” Templeton said. Teaching multiple grade levels at the same time, Templeton continued, reflects that same idea. Students are split into grades, but Templeton said three age groups are taught together. Primary education, he explained, includes first through third grade students and elementary consists of fourth through sixth grade students. “It’s like a family. When you sit down to eat at dinner, the mother and father don’t say, ‘Well, bring in the 6-year-old. Now bring in the 8-year-old.’ They all sit down and eat together,” Templeton said. Separating students into larger groups, he added, helps students learn at their own pace. Sam Dudley, who teaches science, social studies and English, agreed that this is one of the biggest assets of the school. “Specifically with our math program, the students can work at their own pace. If they don’t understand something, they can slow down,” Dudley said. Fellow teacher Doug Stow pointed out how students are given a distinct one-onone education because of Clear Spring’s teaching philosophies. “We can address every child as an individual rather than a class. The student can fit in where they fit instead of where we fit them,” Stow said. “Clear Spring is where the kids really learn at a pace that is measured to them as individuals.” Clear Spring’s differences from other public and private institutions, Templeton noted, are what makes it such a special place to learn. “Now more than ever, it’s great to have an alternative,” Templeton said. That, he added, is why it’s important that the school receives support from the Eureka Springs community. “It’s an expensive alternative for our parents. We have to do everything we can to try to supplement that,” Templeton said.

Ramsey excited to work in Carroll County, Eureka Springs By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

Madison County District Judge Dale Ramsey and his wife Therese love Eureka Springs. “What’s there not to like about Eureka Springs? You have wonderful events here. Every time you turn around, there’s a new music festival or parade or historical event,” Ramsey said. Now that he’s won the non-partisan race for a new district judge’s position covering Carroll and Madison counties, Ramsey said he hopes to see a lot more of the city. AlRamsey ready, Ramsey said, his wife has discussed taking jewelry classes at the Eureka Springs School of the Arts. “She’s somewhat of an artist. I think she might take a class in making jewelry,” Ramsey said. Ramsey defeated Carroll County attorney Chris Flanagin in last week’s non-partisan judicial election. He received 2,611 votes in Carroll County, compared with 3,578 votes for Flanagin, but Ramsey won with a dominant showing in Madison County. Ramsey received 3,397 votes in Madison County, while Flanagin got 1,140 votes. In total, Ramsey finished with 6,008 votes (56 percent) while Flanagin received 4,718 votes (44 percent). Saying he doesn’t consider himself a politician, Ramsey praised both his and

Flanagin’s campaigns for being respectful. “I think both Chris and I ran clean, very positive campaigns, and I think it’s the way campaigns ought to be run. I think the folks that live in Carroll and Madison counties saw politics the way it’s supposed to be,” Ramsey said. He recalled how Flanagin called him the day the election results came in. That, Ramsey said, showed the type of person Flanagin is. “He congratulated me and my wife. He knows that these campaigns are not only difficult for the candidate but also our wives,” Ramsey said. “We both look forward to working with each other in the future,” he added. Flanagin agreed, thanking his supporters for helping the campaign remain clean. Though he lost the election, Flanagin said he will stay in Carroll County to continue helping locals with legal needs. Ramsey, Flanagin said, will do a good job in the position. “I would say Dale is a gentleman’s gentleman, and I think he’s done a good job as judge in Madison County. I have confidence he’ll serve this district well,” Flanagin said. Ramsey also thanked his supporters. “They worked hard and they deserve a lot of credit for that. This isn’t something I did by myself. I did it with a lot of help,” Ramsey said. Because he’s already the district judge in Madison County, Ramsey said not much will change there. The tricky part of the transition, he said, will be figuring out how to schedule time at all the courts in both counties. To ease the transition, Ramsey See Ramsey, page 17

Mammovan offers breast cancer screenings By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

Mobile mammograms returned to Carroll County this week. Operated by the North Arkansas Partnership for Health Education (NAPHE), the mobile mammogram van was set up at Walmart in Berryville all day Tuesday. Earlene Venable, who works with NAPHE, said 24 women signed up for a mammogram Tuesday. To sign up for a mammogram through NAPHE, Venable said Carroll County women need to be over 40. The mammograms are available free of cost, Venable said, and help women who don’t have insurance.

“It doesn’t matter what city you live in. You just have to live in the county,” Venable said. You don’t have to be a woman, Venable continued, to have breast cancer. She recalled screening a 51-year-old man recently, saying he will soon undergo surgery to remove lumps in his chest. “Its not cancer yet, but it could become cancer so he’s scheduled for surgery,” Venable said. “We want to remind people that this happens to men too.” Age, 22-year-old Ferrin Carlton said, doesn’t necessarily matter, either. Carlton, who volunteers for NAPHE, See Mammovan, page 17

The Purple Flower has moved. Linda Maiella, who works with the domestic violence resource center, reported Wednesday that the center has moved to 103 Church St. in Berryville. Maiella said the new location is closer to the Carroll County Eastern District Courthouse, making it easier for the center’s volunteers to work as advocates for the victims of domestic violence. “The courthouse is the draw.

When we help a woman fill out an order of protection, we can not only do that in the privacy of this space but then we can walk over with her and help her file and feel supported in all that,” Maiella said. Barb Mourglia, a volunteer at the center, explained that The Purple Flower exists to provide victims of domestic violence with resources and support. Services offered at the center include safety planning, court support, referral, emotional support, an empowerment support group

and education and awareness for survivors, their families and the public. Moving closer to the courthouse, Mourglia noted, will help people in Carroll County become more aware of what the center offers. “The awareness aspect is good. We don’t have signs yet, but we will,” Mourglia said. The Purple Flower, Maiella said, is available for all residents of Carroll County. Maiella recalled how the cen-

After asking for a volunteer from the audience, Sean-Paul gets more than he bargained for when little Cooper shows off his martial arts moves to the crowd.

Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation board member Bill Featherstone thanks audience members for their support.

Up to a little monkey business, Sean-Paul’s tricks are ousted by his very own mischievous monkey.

Old high school campus hosts auction, fundraiser By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

The old Eureka Springs High School campus was active this weekend. The campus was the site of an auction and a fundraiser Saturday. Both events, Eureka Springs Superintendent Bryan Pruitt said, are intended to help the Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation move forward with its proposed community center at the campus. Pruitt said the auction helped the Eureka Springs School District clear out items no longer being used, such as furniture and equipment. The best seller, Pruitt said, was the lockers. “They were a big hit. It was amazing how well those sold,” Pruitt said. Many Eurekans attended the auction, Pruitt continued, and made it a success. “We had a huge crowd and we got rid of a lot of stuff that needed to go. We were quite pleased with the auction,” Pruitt said. Later that day, Sean-Paul and Juliana Fay of Intrigue Theater performed family-friendly routines to raise money for the proposed community center. Jean Elderwind, secretary of the foundation, said the fundraiser went well. “I didn’t count heads, but I believe there were about 140 to 150 people there,” Elderwind said. Her favorite part of the show, she said, was watching children in the audience get involved. Elderwind explained that Sean-Paul asked children in the audience to come on stage and participate in the routines. “Part of the fun was watching how darling the kids were up there. It was great,” Elderwind said. Another reason she enjoyed the show, Elderwind continued, was the nostalgia of being in the old gym. The old gym is part of the proposal for the new community center, slated to be an athletic facility. “Many of us had children in that high school. We’ve sat in that gym more than once for school events,” Elderwind said. “I really liked being back in there. It seemed larger than the last time I was there.” Between donations and admissions, Elderwind said the event raised around $1,900 for the proposed community center. “It was a really great night in that regard,” Elderwind said. The money raised at the auction, Pruitt noted, hasn’t been determined yet. He said he will know exactly how much the auction raised on Thursday. “We’ll just put that back into our operating funds,” Pruitt said. “It’ll help pay our electric bills, and we’re always buying educational resources like books and computers.”

Wisecrack Zodiac Aries: Wednesday is a good day to review your stocks. If you don’t have investments, have a staring contest with a cow. Either way, you get out of the house and your mom can change your sheets. Taurus: Do you know where you’re going to? If the answer is “no” and you’ve just taken flight from a sharp corner of the overpass, quit reading on your phone and start screaming like a sane person would. Also, get a better GPS for the car. Gemini: Looks like a good day ahead. Don’t worry, it won’t bite, but luck might lick you on the face. Offer karma a breath mint and be glad it’s a toy poodle of fortune and not a Great Dane. Cancer: Not everything behind closed doors needs to be released. There’s a reason it’s called Pandora’s Box and not Pandora’s Bucket. Leave some things alone and they won’t give you a mega-wedgie later. Leo: Want that big promotion? Take the next step. And the next. One more. See, now you’re in the boss’s office. Hop on his desk, do a leprechaun dance and tell him you’re the one for the job. No one can resist that. Virgo: Dress for success on Tuesday. If you can’t swing that, at least wear pants when you leave the house. Sometimes success just means not getting arrested for indecent exposure. Libra: So you’re not a diamond in the rough. Who cares? You’re at least a Cubic Zirconia in the rough, so you’re good enough for QVC or eBay. Flaunt your gorgeous discount self. Scorpio: The Bluebird of Happiness swoops upon you this week, so turn off that 10,000-volt fence around your heart. It’s easier to enjoy life without the smell of burnt feathers. Sagittarius: People don’t expect much from you, which is good on Friday. Fulfill their low ex-

pectations and surprise them with all of your big moves on Monday. Capricorn: The pen is mightier than the sword, especially when there are two million of them hurtling past in an office supply truck. Watch your step, unless you see a pickup full of armed ninjas zooming to your rescue. Aquarius: A mishap with a glue stick and some Monopoly money gets you mugged at a playground. Hope your insurance is

ter began, saying it started after Victor Acuna-Sanchez was convicted in the murder of Laura Aceves. Aceves was murdered on New Year’s Eve 2012 in Eureka Springs. “Laura’s death brought awareness to us that there were no services for women in Carroll County — nothing, zero, nada,” Maiella said. The center opened in late 2014. Since then, Maiella said she and other volunteers have helped 33 women throughout the county. “I’m sure there’s at least 33 more that never called or never made the connection, but 33 women helped in the past year is pretty amazing,” Maiella said.

said she wanted to help out because of her own breast cancer scare. Carlton remembered finding lumps in her breasts and said she wouldn’t have gotten screened if she hadn’t been involved with NAPHE. “A lot of younger people don’t really take into consideration, ‘Oh, I have something weird going on here.’ I was the same way until I started working here and realized I had some issues to look at,” Carlton said. Fortunately, Carlton noted, the lumps in her breasts are benign. She encouraged women in Carroll County to sign up for a mammogram in the future, saying it could have saved her life. The mammovan will be set up at Tyson Foods later this month. Venable said the van will be at Tyson’s Berryville location Wednesday, March 30 and at the Green Forest location Thursday, March 31.
