ESHS students excel at SkillsUSA state competition By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs High School shop students are at it again. On April 10, the students left the SkillsUSA state competition with three medals and a few life lessons. Junior Cole Rains won first place in masonry for the third consecutive year, freshman Preston Hyatt took second in masonry and senior Tyler Crawford won second place in plumbing. For Rains and Crawford, the competition was nothing new. They have both competed there for the last three years. “I don’t really get nervous anymore. I do once the opening ceremony closes or ends,” Crawford said. “I get nervous right then, but once I get in the competition area, I’m fine.” Also at the event, junior Zachary Brothers competed in masonry and junior Kayden Eckman, sophomore Gage Monroe and sophomore Lyric McKnight competed in electrical. It was the first time many of those students attended the competition. Monroe said he’s hoping to become an electrician when he gets older, so the competition was perfect for him. He didn’t do as well as he wanted to, Monroe said, but there’s always next year. “It was stressful to say the least,” Monroe said. “It was fun, though. I really enjoyed it. I’m starting to really get interested in it.” “I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I’d be,” McKnight said. “I definitely learned a lot competing.” “It gave us the opportunity for real-world experience,” Monroe said. Hyatt said he was surprised by how much he’s learned about leadership through the competition. “It’s a great way to practice leadership skills when you’re thinking of going into the construction business,” Hyatt said. Something else he learned, Hyatt said, is the importance of practice. “Nothing is earned for free. I could be really close to whoever got third, but if I didn’t push myself, I don’t think I’d be getting the medal,” Hyatt said. The best thing about the competition, Rains said, is the hands-on experience.

Eureka Springs High School students take a break after the SkillsUSA state competition April 10. From left to right are Gage Monroe, Lyric McKnight, Preston Hyatt, Cole Rains, teacher Jason Hill, Tyler Crawford and Zachary Brothers.
Rains said he’s done a lot of networking at the competition over the years, saying that is already paying off. “You get to learn knowledge about the construction industry you can use in everyday life,” Rains said. “A contractor down there over the masonry division was asking me if I was ever in Little Rock that he’d love to hire me.” Though he competed in plumbing, Crawford said he enjoyed seeing other trades at work. “HVAC was right across from me,” Crawford said. “I watched them while I ate. I learned some of the things they were doing.” Shop class has a different environment from most classrooms, Eckman said, and he likes that about it. “It’s all hands-on. You can do pretty much what you want as long as you’re being productive,” Eckman said. “It’s better than being in a classroom sitting at a desk,” Brothers said. “You actually get out here and build stuff.” “The shop and skills program aren’t necessarily filled with dumb people,” Rains said. “The things we specialize in … we excel in it.” The students work on projects around the school district, Crawford said.
“We do a lot of physical work. People think we aren’t as busy as we are, but we’re usually working on stuff 24/7,” Crawford said. “We just try to help out the school as much as we can.” Eckman thanked the booster club for paying for the group’s dinner after the competition and said he’s grateful to teacher Jason Hill for getting everyone ready to compete. Hill brought in an electrician, Eckman said, to help the students understand their area of competition even better. That’s what he has to do, Hill said, when his students need to hear from someone with a little more expertise. With so many students competing for the first time this year, Hill said, he looks at the competition as a warm-up for what comes next. “It was kind of a trial run for us for next year. Now, they all get the idea of what the stress of competition is like,” Hill said. He’s proud of all his students, Hill continued, for working to hard to get ready for the competition. “I don’t think people realize exactly what goes into this,” Hill said. “The weekend before the competition, we spent eight hours Saturday and Sunday here doing a complete mock-up on what they had to do, and these kids blew it out of the water.” Some of the students surprised him,
Hill said. “Preston Hyatt is a freshman. I could not be more proud of that kid for his effort and his dedication,” Hill said. “I kept on him about watching his time, and to see him go down and compete at the level he competed at … it was amazing.” Hill cleared up some misconceptions about shop class, saying it’s not necessarily for kids who struggle in the traditional classroom setting. Shop projects are often difficult, Hill said, and reflect skills the students will need in the real world. “The stigma has always been that the construction field is a less than menial job,” Hill said. “But in the next 10 to 15 years, you’re talking about 2.8 million jobs or more that are going to be open for kids coming out of school.” He continued, “Not all the kids are wanting to go to college. Some of them want to get out of school and work.” If the community would like to support the students, Hill said, he’s accepting donations for the trip to the nationals competition this summer. Rains will be attending for the third year in a row, Hill said. “It’s a very expensive trip, and any donations would be greatly appreciated,” Hill said. “Just write a check to Eureka Springs Skills Club.”

Council considers eliminating plastic bags in town By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
If the Eureka Springs City Council has its way, plastic bags will disappear from the city. On Monday night, alderman David Mitchell brought up the issue of using plastic bags. Mitchell said he talked about the problem in the past but it got dropped. Now, Mitchell said, he’s serious about getting something done. “The reason I had brought it up years ago is it does have the potential to go along with a lot of things Eureka Springs does about the environment,” Mitchell said. “The issues with plastic … it’s larger than the country of France, the plastic that’s floating in the islands out there.” Mitchell suggested charging people to use plastic bags in town, and alderwoman Melissa Greene said she’s supportive of that. “It’s a great idea,” Greene said. Mayor Butch Berry said he supports it, too, and alderman Terry McClung suggested another alternative. “The right thing to do is eliminate them,” McClung said. Berry agreed, saying eliminating the bags would be better than requiring people to pay for them. The next step would be drawing up an ordinance outlawing plastic bags, Berry said. Alderwoman Mickey Schneider wasn’t convinced. “What kind of town do we live in? A tourist town. Where do the tourists go? All these shops,” Schneider said. “What do they buy? All these neat little trinkets and T-shirts and stuff. What do they go in?” She continued, “You can’t sit there and make a decision like that without involving the shopkeepers. You’re talking about an awful lot of money.” “They can use paper,” Greene said. “Oh, let’s kill trees,” Schneider said.
“We can kill trees or screw our environment.” Mitchell moved to create that ordinance, saying he wants plastic bags to get out of town. Alderman Bob Thomas said he wants to hear from the community before approving such an ordinance. “I don’t want to get in the same trap parks has gotten into, which is not going through the process correctly,” Thomas said. “Just to write an ordinance without a public meeting and public input … that concerns me.” Berry said it will take a while to write the ordinance, and then it would take at least six weeks before it would be approved. Thomas asked if Berry could promise that, and Berry said that’s up to the council. Schneider kept her foot down on the issue. “You cannot do this to the shop owners and the keepers of the businesses in town without having a major workshop,” Schneider said. “These are the things that keep this town going, that make it possible for people to eat, sleep, have a roof over their head. You cannot say, ‘Too bad, you don’t get to use plastic anymore.’ You can’t do that.” The council voted on Mitchell’s motion, with everyone voting for it except Schneider. Thomas moved that the ordinance would be read only once per meeting once it is completed. Thomas, Greene, Mitchell and McClung voted in favor of the motion, and Schneider abstained. Also at the meeting, the commission approved a resolution supporting the new downhill mountain bike trails at Lake Leatherwood City Park and thanking the Walton Family Foundation for its help on the project. Mitchell said he has always been in support of parks. “I think we’re confusing a couple of issues here,” Mitchell said. “Council
has always been supportive of parks and the trails system and the Walton family and all they do for the city. I think what we’re blending here, however, is the issue with parks and the collusion or arrangements that seem to be taking place with the Eureka Springs Community Center.” He continued, “There is a distinct difference. Please do not be confusing the fact. We are very, very supportive of parks and the work they’re doing.” Later at the meeting, Schneider asked Berry if he’s talked to the Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation about getting its financial information to the city. The council approved a motion earlier this year saying the city will suspend all involvement withe foundation until those documents are available. Berry said he approached the foundation but hasn’t heard back. “When we made the motion we started, wouldn’t you think most organizations would realize it was a request and they would respond back?” Mitchell said. “That the mayor has to go out and hold the hands of a commission to ask them for their feedback is rather juvenile and ludicrous.” “The reason they’re acting like a child is because y’all acted like a child. To get back at one person, y’all cut your nose off, so that made them cut their nose off,” Schneider said. “Therefore, we’re at a standstill and that is ridiculous. As it is right now, both parties are acting like children. That’s the problem.” In other business, the council deferred the final reading of an ordinance regarding the schedule to pay off water and sewer bonds and rescheduled a meeting from Memorial Day to 3 p.m. Tuesday, May 29. The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, May 14, at The Auditorium.

Parks commission considers community center greenhouse partnership By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
A partnership is growing. On Tuesday, April 18, the Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission heard from Jack Moyer about the Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation’s new greenhouse program. Moyer explained that the foundation has been working with a lawyer to draw up an agreement for the partnership, giving some history on the project. The program is made possible through an AT&T grant, Moyer said, which requires a few educational components each year. When the foundation received the grant, Moyer said, a committee formed to plant the seeds for the greenhouse program. That committee chose to partner with the parks commission, Moyer said, for obvious reasons. “We unanimously agreed the parks commission would be an ideal partner, and in doing so, we challenged ourselves to develop an agreement of terms and vet that through our attorney,” Moyer said. “Obviously, all terms are negotiable.” According to the first draft of the contract, Moyer said, the foundation would own the greenhouse and the parks commission would operate it. That means the foundation would pay for all utilities, with the commission paying all growing and maintenance costs. “You guys handle the cost to grow your stuff. We handle any major issues with the greenhouse,” Moyer said. The commission will be given access to 50 percent of the greenhouse space, Moyer said, and must help provide community benefit through educational components. “We are looking to establish a relationship with the Eureka Springs Parks Commission,” Moyer said. “That’s why we’re here.” Other than approving the agreement,
chairman Bill Featherstone asked, what else does the commission need to do? Moyer said the greenhouse is still in the process of construction, saying the committee is nailing down the location and other details before breaking ground. That might mean the foundation needs to raise more money, Moyer said, to make the greenhouse a reality. “We are fully approved. We have a construction bid in,” Moyer said. Commissioner Steven Foster asked if the foundation would pay for water expenses, and Moyer said that’s included in the utilities. Parks director Justin Huss pointed out that’s not spelled out in the agreement, and Moyer said it could be. “We’re happy to put that in,” Moyer said. “This is a first draft.” Foster said he wants to take the agreement to a workshop, saying he’s excited about the prospect of having the greenhouse. “This is a great foundation for starting a conversation about a relationship,” Foster said. “I think it’s really exciting to have a greenhouse available to parks and available to the community.” Moyer said the foundation would be open to a joint workshop to discuss the agreement, and Huss said he believes the partnership will benefit everyone. “City council has their opinions on what’s to be involved. We’ll take this back to them, but I believe this is just a natural fit for us,” Huss said. “It’s a benefit for parks, for the community. It’s really just a win-win. Let’s run this by a lawyer and maybe have a joint workshop. I think we can get ourselves to where we’re ready to move on that.” Moyer said that sounds great. “We just need to do it when it makes sense for everybody and keep it moving forward,” Moyer said. Also at the meeting, the commission heard from former Eureka Springs High
School soccer coach Daniel Moose about creating a disc golf course at Lake Leatherwood City Park. Moose described the benefits of disc golf, saying it’s low cost, can be played with a group or individually and provides benefits to the environment. “Disc golfers tend to be more environmental people. We want to make sure everything stays in good shape,” Moose said. “It could also help tourism, which is always one of the big goals of Eureka Springs, to bring people in to see the acres of park per person we have here.” Anybody can play disc golf, Moose said, and the sport has more than 100,000 members. “It is a really good sport for highlighting the land we have,” Moose said. “If we just have six acres, we could easily put a nine-hole course in.” The course would draw people to town, Moose said, both individually and as groups. Moose said Eureka Springs is the perfect place to host disc golf tournaments, saying all the city needs is a course to play it on. “This town is really built to host tournaments. We’ve got the community ready for a large group to come in, and we’ve got the beautiful parks to put these in,” Moose said. Nine-hole courses are not good for tournaments, Moose said, so he’s rec-
ommend an 18-hole course. More than one course, he said, would be even better. “People would be drawn to it because Eureka Springs has geography that’s unique compared to courses 45 minutes away,” Moose said. He doesn’t know quite how much it would cost to put a course in, Moose said, but he’ll do more research into that. Featherstone said he’s completely behind the idea. “I’m excited,” Featherstone said. “I was excited when you started talking, but now I’m really excited. This is such a natural for Eureka.” The next step, Moose said, would be to survey the land to see what kind of course would fit there. Moose said he’d work with the commission on that. In other business, Huss presented the financial report. Huss said the commission had many days of bad weather in March but still came out nearly $4,500 better than last year at this time. “To come that close to some pretty high estimates on that month … we still feel pretty good about that, and we’re up for the year by more than $5,000 revenue wise,” Huss said. “We’re doing really well.” The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 15, at The Auditorium.

Lecithin to the rescue
remember 30 years ago reading about the benefit of lecithin. Back in those days my main interest was finding a supplement that might help clear foggy thinking. Thirty years ago, I was 36 ... so you can tell the problem with thinking wasn’t from old age. But I wanted to have a heap of fun on the weekend and still do research on Monday morning. A radiopharmacist friend tossed a big, thick book at me one Monday at work. The book was on nutritional supplements and was an amazing surprise to me, as I must have thought no one noticed the sluggishness brought on by the weekend. After the aspirins kicked in I read from cover to cover. Being skeptical, I was curious about most of what was written but only really interested in trying lecithin. Need was the driving factor. Lecithin is found in egg yolk, liver, nuts, whole wheat, soy and corn. It is also a natural part of every cell in our body. It is high in phosphorus and bonds with iron, iodine and calcium to give power and vigor to the brain as well as helping in the digestion and absorption of fats. Lecithin is thought to break up choles-
terol, boost immunity and helps prevent gallstones. The list is very long as nervous tissue health as well as liver health is influenced. With lecithin you Jim Fain get a high amount of phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl inositol as well as linoleic acid. These are very important to maintaining health. Beyond the proven benefit for memory improvement or slowing loss, the clinical proof from the PDR for Nutritional Supplements is profound for liver health. The PDR lists hepatitis A, B and C, alcohol damage and possibly reducing liver cancer as benefits. I like lecithin granules, as two or three tablespoons each day is easy to do and inexpensive. The nutty like granules taste good when just eaten by the spoonful but mixing it into most any recipe would be easy. A good product should not cost more than about $11-12, for 14 ounces. I personally use soft gels for a little less cost. The lecithin must have helped ... I did remember the story from 30 years ago (but I still forgot to send this column to the editor on time!)
Citizen of the Week Shilah Molina is this week’s Citizen of the Week. Molina was nominated by Mary Howze, who said Molina helped organize the first ever clean-up on Highway 187. “She organized an entire event starting with a shuttle ride to Highway 62 and 187, where the pickup started, to ending with multiple live bands and a donated potluck to thank the volunteers,” Howze said. “Three miles of Highway 187 were covered, and it was mostly thanks to Shilah and her mission to get it done.” To nominate somebody for Citizen of the Week, email Samantha Jones at Citizen.Editor.

Berry announces re-election bid
Residents of Eureka Springs would be hard-pressed to remember the last time they had a mayor for more than one term. Mayor Robert “Butch” Berry, a third-generation native of Eureka Springs, intends to change that in November. “When I ran for mayor in 2014, I wanted to focus on infrastructure issues. Shortly into my first quarter as mayor, it became apparent that was not the most critical issue facing the city,” Berry said. “Eureka Springs was in dire financial stress. I inherited a long trend of withdrawing money from the general fund to pay bills, rising debt and out-of-control spending.” Berry spent the first year digging into the financials and bringing his team of department heads, staff and city council together to solve the problem. A budget freeze was put in place, and cost-cutting measures and monthly departmental budget reviews were instituted. “It was tough going for a while, but by the end of 2017, we had not only reversed the deficit trend, we actually started putting money back into reserves,” Berry said. “Thanks to a dedicated team of staff and department heads, expenditures were a minimum of 10 percent under projection for 2017.” Because of the improving financials, Berry has been able to address several critical infrastructure issues over the past two years. By March 2018, the city paid off the loan on the Eureka Springs Police Department building and land two years earlier than scheduled. Berry’s current plan to get out of
debt also calls for paying off several bonds, which will save the city and taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. “Our plan is to greatly reduce our bond indebtedness. It’s critical we stay on this positive track and continue to make progress for the citizens of Eureka Springs,” Berry said. “We still have a lot to do and I want to be mayor for this next term to make sure we stay the course and continue to engage more citizens in the problem-solving and planning process.” Continuity of Butch Berry leadership and financial oversight is one thing Berry believes is essential for the future of Eureka Springs. “For too long, the problems have been passed off to another group of elected officials. When that happens, you either start over or you ignore the problem. That’s what got us in financial trouble,” Berry said. “For the first time I can remember in this town, the city council, department heads and staff are all on the same page and dedicated to following the same proactive plan. As a result, we are out of the red, into the black and able to look to future investments and progress.” Berry will formally announce his run for a second term at noon Wednesday, May 2, at the courthouse stairs in downtown Eureka Springs.
Schools kick off kindergarten registration By Kelby Newcomb and Samantha Jones CCNNews@cox-internet.com
Eureka Springs Elementary School is already preparing for next school year and the arrival of new students. Principal Clare Lesieur said the school will hold its kindergarten registration from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. Wednesday, May 2, at the school. “The parents can just come by, get registration information, meet the teachers and visit the classrooms,” she said. “We go over
a little bit of the expectations going into kindergarten.” Lesieur said the event is a positive opportunity for parents to visit the building before school starts. Any parents who are unable to attend can call the elementary school at 479-253-8704 or visit during the summer, she said. “The office is open most of the summer,” Lesieur said. “They can come by and get a registration packet and go over what materials they need with the school secretary.”

LOOKING BACK Photo courtesy of Eureka Springs Historical Museum
With the start of spring, we will begin a new Looking Back series focusing on our “springs,” which make up our very own “Eureka Springs,” and talk about what makes each one of them unique and interesting. The first in our series will be Onyx or Laundry Spring, located at the intersection of Flint and Steele Street on East Mountain. The site of Onyx Spring was outside the area included in the first survey of Eureka Springs, although East Mountain was crowded with wood structures by the year 1885, and the spring was recognized for its healing waters. The spring flowed from a small cave lined with projections of onyx stone, as could be found in many caves in the vicinity. As it was situated on a steep hillside, water from the spring made a small stream down over rock ledges to the creek below that also carried away the
waters of Little Eureka, Cave and other springs farther up the ravine. The town’s first government quickly passed ordinances to protect all the springs and strictly forbid anything that might contaminate the water. Ordinance #10, passed in 1880, declared: “All persons washing their persons or clothes in or above the basins of all public springs shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.” The overflow of Onyx Spring was very accessible and townspeople soon began to collect the water from below the spring for household use. A wash house, or laundry, was established on the steep hillside below, down near Water Street. In early census enumerations, many women listed “Laundress” as their occupation, a very necessary one in the crowded new community. John W. Riley’s survey, dated 1893, delineated the boundaries of a spring reservation at the site. By that time, it was clearly one of 42 public springs
under the jurisdiction of the city. On Aug. 4, 1903, an ordinance was enacted created and describing the “Laundry Spring Reservation,” yet from that date forward, photographs identify it as “Onyx Spring.” In 1922, residents of East Mountain raised all funds needed to employ carpenters Dillow and Bingham to make improvements around the spring. They
built a small wood shelter over the cave opening. They proudly boasted “not a penny” came from the city for these improvements. The Parks and Recreation Commission officially recognized the spring as “Laundry Spring” on Oct. 9, 2003. — Stephanie Stodden, Museum Operations Manager

After the proclamation, Berry added, “We are proud that this year the city of Eureka Springs celebrates 36 years as a Tree City USA. We are the oldest Tree City USA in Arkansas. It is because of our citizens who love and care for our trees that we can continue to earn this honor. Thanks to all of you!” Christopher Fischer followed with the story of the Downtown Native Plant Garden. Krista Quinn, the urban forestry partnership coordinator for the Arkansas Forestry Commission, spoke about the commission, and Freddie Wolfinbarger, our county ranger for the Arkansas Forestry Commission, also attended the event. Wolfinbarger joined the Native Plant Garden project in planting a Yellow Wood tree in the garden. This year, the Forestry Commission donated a tree of choice to each Tree City USA in Arkansas. Yellow wood is a medium-sized, native flowering tree. It has white, fragrant, pea-like flowers that hang in 15-inch-long clusters in spring. Underway for three years, the Native Plant Garden Project is an ongoing volunteer-based partnership with the city of Eureka Springs and several community groups. The purpose is to develop and present a natural habitat promoting the critically important function that native plants provide towards improving the diversity and ecology of the urban environment. It is located off First Street next to the northern edge of the Art Wall, where a stairway leads up to Armstrong Street.
