Giving back ESHS junior raises money for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Eureka Springs High School student athlete Grayson Ertel is adding something new to her resume: fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and, hopefully, the organization's Student of the Year. Ertel is one of eight Northwest Arkansas students taking part in the society's Student of the Year program, a philanthropic leadership development program where students set ambitious fundraising goals to help families affected by blood cancer. Ertel's goal is $30,000, and she hopes to raise that amount by Friday, May 10. "We're almost 30 percent done," Ertel said. "I have about 12 people on my team that are helping me, some friends of mine in Texas, Georgia and all over the place. It's the first time for Northwest Arkansas to do this, so that's pretty cool. We get to set the standards high." Ertel was nominated by high school counselor Rachal Hyatt and has been working with LLS representative Amy Germann to get her fundraising efforts underway. Germann described how LLS has grown over the years, saying it started in 2014 and really took off in 2017. "Last year, we raised more than $2 mil-

lion with just the students," Germann said. "It's the fastest growing peer-to-peer fundraiser we have in LLS. It's really become one of the critical pillars of how we raise money." Germann said the program is an opportunity for high school students to get involved with their community. "They want to be an active part of the community. They want places and businesses they're involved in to give back," Germann said. "They're pushing for that, so we started talking to them and tested this out and it's been very successful." Germann continued, "In Northwest Arkansas, we're considered an expansion market, because this is the first year we've fully launched a high school program here. We have eight active candidates. That's kind of unheard of in a new market. I'm really excited about the level of activity here." LLS helps raise money for blood cancer research, Germann said, that takes place in Northwest Arkansas. "Just recently in November, we granted the Faulk Foundation $300,000 for medical research to be done in our own back yard at the University of Arkansas," Germann said.
That's not all LLS does. Germann said the organization helps families struggling with blood cancer, too. "We are out there actively seeking not just a cure but better treatment for the families," Germann said. "We'll support them financially if they need it. The money we raise here definitely comes back to this community." Ertel said she appreciates how LLS helps families, saying $300 funds one week of important one-on-one and group support for families dealing with the challenges of blood cancer. That's especially meaningful to her, Ertel said, because her family used those services when her cousin Jimi was diagnosed with leukemia at age 3. "He overcame it and he's living a happy and healthy life as an 8-year-old," Ertel said. "When our family spent time in Little Rock, it was really helpful to have those people there to talk to them and help them through that hard situation. It means a lot to me and anybody that's been impacted by blood cancer to support this cause." Germann said she's grateful to work with motivated students like Ertel. "I have to say she's phenomenal," GerSee Ertel, page 7

ES board approves advertising bids for elementary remodel By Kelby Newcomb
CCNNews@cox-internet.com
The Eureka Springs School Board voted Monday to approve advertising bids for the elementary remodel project once plans are approved by the state. Josh Siebert, architect with Modus Studio, said the renovation will focus on some of the most trafficked areas in the school, such as the entrance, the hallways and the cafeteria and multipurpose area. “We’ve done that in our designs through updated finishes and bold graphics,” he said. “We’ve tried to do it in a way that’s unique to this place. We want a new, modern and fresh look to this building.” Siebert said the hallways will have art inspired by the Ozark landscape, the natural springs and the historic downtown area
of Eureka Springs. “We have earmarked those three subject matters in the different hallways,” he said. “As you walk around, you’re going to have graphics as they would relate to the Ozark mountain range, downtown and the natural springs.” Siebert continued, “It becomes a teaching story to the students who will be occupying the space. For the acoustics in the cafeteria, the idea is that we bring in the downtown context of the buildings into the acoustical panel treatment around the sides.” For the outside of the building, he said, the studio worked on designing the entryway to make a statement. “We wanted to do something unique,” See Board, page 9

Council hears from ADA coordinator on compliance measures By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The city of Eureka Springs is making major strides toward ADA compliance. On Monday night, the Eureka Springs City Council heard from ADA coordinator Kim Stryker about all the compliance measures that have taken place since 2017. Stryker said the Americans with Disabilities Act requires municipalities to provide access to all services, programs and activities to people with disabilities. “Cities are required to make reasonable modifications in their policies, practices and procedures to accommodate individuals,” Stryker said. Stryker said the city started working toward ADA compliance in April 2017, when she was named ADA coordinator. The ADA Complaint Committee was formed in May 2017, Stryker said, and she produced an annual report in January 2018 showing areas where the city could improve. Stryker pointed out how Eureka Springs is in a unique position when it comes to ADA compliance, saying the city’s terrain and historic distinction make it difficult for people with disabilities to get around. “We actively sought out what we could accomplish, and the transition plan … is the key to these focus areas of improvement,” Stryker said. “That’s the great thing about reviewing something annually. You’re suddenly aware you made more progress than you were aware of.” Over the past year, Stryker said, she has helped train all city employees who answer phones to understand when a call is coming from a relay coordinator. “They know to just take the time and understand what’s being typed on the other end and translated and communicated to us,” Stryker said. “All our frontline telephone operators … have been trained on how to handle those relay calls.” She’s helped get that information to emergency personnel in the city, too. Stryker said she distributed information on how to handle those with disabilities to police, fire and EMS employees. “We needed to bring that level of awareness for all law enforcement and first responders up a notch or two,” Stryker said. Stryker said she’s been working with alder-
man Bob Thomas, who serves on the ADA Complaint Committee, to establish quality control procedures for closed captioning on city council meetings. “When providing access to all citizens … we try to remove any barrier, and closed captioning is exactly that,” Stryker said. “It’s the removal of a barrier.” She said the city was honored by 3PlayMedia in March 2018, saying Eureka Springs was featured on a list called “5 Municipalities Doing Captioning Right.” “We were mentioned alongside cities such as Boston, Mass., and Los Angeles, Calif.,” Stryker said. “That was cause for celebration for us.” The city has been working on alterations to buildings that need it, Stryker said, to comply with ADA standards. She recalled when all city meetings moved to The Auditorium and said there’s still work to be done. “The lift we use on this lower staircase is electric. On the off chance a fire broke out and we had to evacuate,” Stryker said, “we don’t have any way to get a wheelchair out of this building. So we have plans to purchase … a very long ramp that meets ADA specifications, and it would be housed under the stage door.” Alderman Harry Meyer asked if there’s a plan to make City Hall more accessible, and Stryker said that would be tough because the city rents that space. “Adaptive measures have taken place to try to accommodate those people to the best of our ability in our current location,” Stryker said. “I would think at some point we should think perhaps about building a city hall that is accessible,” Meyer said. Also at the meeting, Thomas said he’d like to discuss recent actions by council members he believes violated the Freedom of Information Act. Thomas recalled speaking with three B&B owners about whether or not they needed to sign a document sent by the planning commission. He asked city attorney Tim Weaver about it, Thomas said, and emailed the citizens saying Weaver advised there is no requirement in the code to sign the documents. “One of the three citizens I sent that to then disseminated that email by sending it to a whole bunch of people,” Thomas said. “At
that point, one of our council people … hit reply all, and she responded to it, which I consider a minor infraction.” Then alderwoman Susan Harman composed an email addressed to the council, planning commission and the mayor’s office, Thomas said. In the email, Harman says she is shocked Thomas sent the email to those citizens. “Not only does it open us up to a potential class action lawsuit at a state level by those B&B owners who fear there may be favoritism/discrepancies on how the ordinance is or is not enforced,” Harman writes, “but also to the fact that a City Council member has spoken on behalf of the City Attorney.” Harman continues, saying the planning commission has the authority to ask B&B owners to send updated information to the city. “It seems strange to me that a member of City Council would want to undermine the Planning Commission from doing their job,” Harman writes. “Why create code at all? Why give the illusion of enforcing code, if we have no intention of doing so?” Harman ends the email stating her discomfort with the situation. “I’m very uncomfortable with this and request a written opinion from Tim Weaver and a second opinion, as it relates to the issue from Municipal League,” she writes. Thomas said he was concerned about how Harman handled the issue. “My main concern at this point is it’s a violation of open meetings … sending emails to other public officials,” Thomas said. “I’d just like to bring that to the attention of the community.” Later in the meeting, Harman said she’s still uncomfortable with Thomas responding to individual citizens on behalf of Weaver. “When emails like that go out, unless there is a written report provided by the city attorney, I think it is open to interpretation,” Harman said. “It is a dangerous thing to do. I think an opinion by the city attorney should be provided, and I still believe there should be one coming from the municipal league on the issue as it relates to what planning is requesting from those B&B owners.” The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, April 22, at The Auditorium.

A Cup of Love Ministry seeking donations to purchase building By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
A Cup of Love Ministry has come a long way over the past year, and Chuck and Pattie Jarrett expect to continue that momentum by purchasing the building at 4032 E. Van Buren. The down payment for the building is $50,000, Pattie said, and they're got $8,000 left to raise. She said they worked out a deal with their landlord where they give more on the monthly payments so they could start the process of purchasing the building. "We're still trying to raise up a little more so we can have a smaller monthly payment," Pattie said. "The way God's been blessing it, we know it's going to happen. We're still doing some fundraising." Over the next three weeks, Pattie said, the ministry will host the third annual Crockpot Creation Competition and a yard sale. She said the ministry will be active during the Celebrate Jesus Parade as well. They hope to raise the remaining
$8,000 by May 1, Chuck said. "It's a little nerve racking," he said. "We're just praying the Lord puts it on someone's heart to cover it." Over the past few months, Chuck said, the ministry has made major strides. He said they remodeled the building and opened up a cold weather emergency shelter during the winter. "What we're doing is if it's 32 degrees, we're opening up the shelter," Chuck said. "And anyone can hang out in here all day long if they want to," Pattie said. Traffic has continued to increase, Chuck said, with anywhere between 180 and 250 people coming in on Fridays. "We almost got to 300 one time just on a Friday," Chuck said, "and we fed them and gave food away. We give emergency food throughout the week." "We probably should be at a bigger building, but right now we're staying here," Pattie said. "This is going to work. We're going to make it work."
Citizen of the Week
Fiona Richards is this week’s Citizen of the Week. Richards was nominated by Audrey Falkowski for her “endless work” on Good Shepherd Humane Society’s Diamonds & Denim Ball held on Saturday, March 23. “Her idea went from conception to a huge success in just four months,” Falkowski said. “Not only did Good Shepherd Humane Society benefit from the thousands of dollars raised, but those attended had a fantastic time dancing to the music of Kevin Black and Los Roscoes. Fiona, you are amazing.” To nominate somebody for Citizen of the Week, email Samantha Jones at Citizen.Editor. Eureka@gmail.com.
Pattie said they expect to have even more traffic during the summer. "People come in with their children because they're not going to school and being fed there," Pattie said. "We'll get those extra people during the summer, sometimes twice a day. This is a huge need in our community. We need to help people. We need people to be fed." The ministry accepts all kinds of donations, Pattie said, including canned food, sugar, salt, flour, toothbrushes, combs, paper towels, tents and sleeping bags. "People that are homeless can use tents and sleeping bags to live in for the summer," Chuck said. "As fast as we get tents, they're gone." There's so much left to do, Chuck said, but he's confident the ministry will get what it needs to keep going. "We're thankful our beautiful community has come together and supported us," Chuck said. "We'd like to say thank you. We have a big list of all the people who have helped us."

Nutritional insurance
Do you need a multivitamin? Some say absolutely while others say no you don’t but I say it depends. A multivitamin should be considered nutritional insurance as the typical amount of any of the long list of ingredients is based upon the official recommended dietary allowance (RDA). How do you sort out if you need one and then how to select the right one for you? Do you eat a broad range of foods each week? Is the food fresh with as little processing as possible? Is the produce picked and eaten at peak? Do you take prescribed medicines that can and do decrease absorption of certain nutrients/minerals? Does your alcohol intake reduce your vitamin levels particularly the B group? Is your digestion working favorably? These are some of the questions to ask yourself. The majority of Americans are considered in a deficit situation by many experts and companies. Think of the high stress, fast paced life with little time to shop and prepare home cooked meals especially with city people in mind. Of course, some people both men and women don’t cook at all. You can easily understand the appeal of a general purpose multivitamin taken daily. The multivitamin choice is dependent upon your age, overall health and personal
preferences. Generally, people over 50 years benefit from a quality multi that includes minerals, trace elements Jim Fain and no iron. People younger will often have low to moderate iron in theirs along with choice of specialty ingredients for pre-natal/natal. There are others that are derived from whole food, tasty liquids, formulas for middle aged and older men and women while children like to eat yummy chewables. As always, price gives an idea of the product quality. I think a middle of the road price point is the best. The way the manufacturers position their product lines paying a very high price isn’t necessarily better but paying little actually gives you less with cheaper and lower quality ingredients as part of the formula. So, do you need a multivitamin? For most of the people I know, that answer isn’t a clear yes or no as they shop fresh at the farmer’s market and prepare at least one home cooked meal each day and they take few if any prescribed drugs. But look closely at your circumstances and decide for yourself if a little bit spent on nutritional insurance is for you.

research and support for families." Germann agreed. "The students are competing for a $2,500 scholarship from LLS," she said. "But the truth is they are all so committed to the cause that they simply believe in helping others in the battle against blood and other cancers. The scholarship is just icing on the cake." Ertel said she's hoping to receive a donation from every state, whether that's $1 or $100. She's still seeking donations from Northern states, Ertel said. "If anybody has some family or friends up there that could just donate a dollar, I'd really appreciate that," Ertel said. To donate to Ertel's campaign, go to

mann said. "She's an ideal candidate for us. She's active in the community. She's got the scholastics. She's just a bright and shiny person." Ertel said she doesn't only want to reach her $30,000 goal –– she wants to exceed it. The student who raises the most money receives a $2,500 scholarship, but Ertel said that's not why she's working so hard on the campaign. "Just seeing what my family went through brought a realization to me that there's not enough awareness about these blood cancers," Ertel said. "We need more.

he said. “We generated a concept with a sign that can be lit up at night and pulls in the school colors. The color starts to pull you in as you walk into the space.” Siebert said the drawings for the renovation are almost finished. “We have one more site visit to do to clarify some structural integrity of the existing facility,” he said. Once the plans are approved by the state, he said, the plan is to bid the project out in May and get it under construction as soon as school gets out. The goal, he said, is to have it finished by August before the students come back from summer break. Also at the meeting, the board voted to approve the licensed and classified salary schedules for the 2019-20 school year and the licensed and classified personnel policies. Superintendent Bryan Pruitt said the district will be adding two personal days to both the license and classified personnel policies. “Right now, you get two personal days a year, which you can accumulate up to
four,” he said. “So what we’ll do is you can now accumulate up to six. It comes from your sick days. It’s not like the school is going to give you two free personal days.” For classified personnel policy, Pruitt said, the district is also adding a sick bank leave. “Employees can pool those sick days and use those as needed,” he said. He said a committee selected by the personnel policy committee (PPC) will have to approve requests to use sick days from the sick bank leave. He said it is designed to help staff members manage serious issues that require them to miss several days. The board then voted to approve extending the PCMI Substitute Agreement, commonly known as WillSub, by one year. Pruitt said the price is the same as last year. The board also voted to transfer $309,427 from the Operating Fund to the 3200 Fund, which is a secondary building fund. The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Monday, May 13, in the Administration Building.
