July 2018 has been proclaimed by Governor Asa Hutchinson as Lakes Appreciation Month in Arkansas. With over a half-million acres of reservoirs in Arkansas, summer is a great time to encourage all Arkansans to appreciate the lakes of our Natural State by participating in recreation and stewardship activities such as swimming, boating, fishing, taking care of our lakes, and enjoying the scenic beauty and other benefits provided by our lakes, including drinking water and community and economic growth! Lakes Appreciation Month is a signature program of the North American Lake Management Society (NALMS) whose mission is to foster the management and protection of lakes and reservoirs for today and tomorrow.

‘There’s something magical about it’ Opera in the Ozarks alumna returns to teach master class By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Nina Hinson has learned a thing or two since her days at Opera in the Ozarks, and she’s happy to share her wisdom. Hinson, who attended the camp in 1958, returned Thursday, July 5, to teach a master class on performing. Hinson remembered what brought her to the camp, saying she won a Texas state vocal competition and the first prize was spending the summer at Inspiration Point. “Here I was, just a junior in high school and I thought I was going someplace really exotic over to Arkansas,” Hinson said. She met one of her best friends at the camp, Hinson said, and they were both from Texas. That’s when Alaska joined the United States, making Texas the second-largest state in the country. “People made our lives hell,” Hinson laughed. “They teased us about it.” Everyone slept in a barn with no air conditioning, Hinson remembered, and performed in an open-air theater. When the Fourth of July rolled around, she asked if anybody was going to barbecue. One of her friends cleaned up a metal frame for the occasion. “He scrubbed it and barbecued 100 hot dogs on it,” Hinson said. “Those are the fun memories, and, of course, the performances.” Her experience at the camp helped her learn how to perform, Hinson said, and she’s grateful for it. “I always got a lot of compliments for my acting ability, and I learned it here that summer,” Hinson said. “When you’re in high school, it’s hard to throw your arms around. They encouraged me that’s what I needed to do to be an opera singer.” She continued, “They say one of the reasons you become an actress is you get to be somebody you don’t get to be in real life. I grew up feeling I wasn’t the most attractive or the prettiest. I was always chubby.” She gained confidence through performing, Hinson said. “I love being the center of attention. Ev-

erybody loves to be applauded and brought flowers,” she said. “I just like being an opera singer.” Her advice for young singers is to never stop learning. Hinson said it’s OK to find a new teacher if you need to, saying she worked with a teacher in college who “went a little crazy.” “I lost my voice. I kept telling her my voice is tired. It ached,” Hinson said. “Well, I wasn’t doing the right thing. I moved to a different part of the world and found another teacher. I learned to appreciate my voice, and I’ve learned to help singers in trouble.” She continued, “Sometimes, it’s just saying, ‘Don’t sing that piece of music. You’re not ready for it.’ You always need to find a teacher. You can’t drive a car forever without having it tuned up. If you don’t feel your voice is going well and you don’t get answers, you need to go someplace else.” The best part of the camp, Hinson said, is how much feedback singers get. College students generally work with a voice teacher and sing in a choir, Hinson said, but that’s not how it works at Opera in the Ozarks.
“Here, you’ll get 15 different opinions. If 10 people tell you you’re pushing, chances are you’re pushing your voice,” Hinson said. “It’s a life-changing experience.” When it comes to opera, Hinson said, collaboration is key. “It’s about getting along with your colleagues. The theater doesn’t have time anymore to put up with … temperamental people that cost you time, that create ill will among singers,” Hinson said. “You learn to get along with the person who is double cast with you.” Jim Swiggart, who attended the camp with Hinson and has helped teach singers over the years, said Opera in the Ozarks gives out an award for the best colleague at the end of the summer. “I think that’s a very good award to give,” Hinson said. “I’m not mean-spirited, and sometimes I’d like to be, but I’ve learned it doesn’t do any good. You’d like to say, ‘I sing better than she does. Why does she get opening night?’ Well, you just have to suck it up.”
Since she left the camp, Hinson has sung opera all over the world. “I’ve sung in a lot of major competitions, with a lot of major opera companies and a lot of major conductors,” Hinson said. “I have been ill all my life since I was 22 with rheumatoid arthritis, but I’ve been singing since I was 14. My last professional performance was when I was 67. I’m 77 now.” Returning to the camp, Hinson said, helped her celebrate her time there and get some closure. She encouraged everyone in the community to support Opera in the Ozarks, saying she wouldn’t be where she is today without it. “Show up for performances. Help out financially. They need help. The students need help,” Hinson said. There’s nothing quite like being an opera singer, Hinson said. “When you tell people you’re an opera singer, there’s something magical about it. Opera gets that reaction,” Hinson said. “It’s special, and these kids are very lucky to be here.”

Council sends code revisions back to planning By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs City Council is waiting a little longer to approve proposed code revisions from the planning commission. On Monday night, the council sent several proposed revisions back to the commission for further review. The council voted June 25 to approve two proposed ordinances on a first reading, one amending the adoption of plans and the other amending permitted uses in C1, C2 and C3 zones. The council deferred three other proposed ordinances to Monday night’s meeting. Before the council could consider any of the proposed changes, B&B owners expressed concerns during public comments. B&B owner John Speed said he believes some council members have a conflict of interest because they own lodging themselves. “I feel as if a member of the city council that possibly owns a bed and breakfast or manages properties or owns overnight cottages acting upon voting upon these issues … I deem as a conflict of interest,” Speed said. “That’s almost ethics 101.” Bob Jasinski said he disagrees with the proposed change that a B&B’s owner or manager must register the estab-

lishment as their primary domicile. The process to register for that, Jasinski said, would be “draconian.” Alderwoman Mickey Schneider requested that city attorney Tim Weaver explain what it means to have a conflict of interest, saying she wanted to take care of that before considering any of the proposed ordinances. Weaver said a conflict of interest occurs when someone with voting authority over a particular issue has a vested interest in that issue and stands to gain or lose money from passing a certain piece of legislation. “The Arkansas Municipal League has repeatedly stated that the person who can call that a conflict of interest is the person who has that conflict of interest,” Weaver said. “The commission or board or body they sit on does not necessarily have that ability to call the conflict for that person if the person does not call a conflict on themselves.” Alderman David Mitchell, who owns a B&B in town, said it’s clear Speed’s comment was directed at him. Mitchell said he spends approximately $5,000 to $8,000 a year on advertising, pays his taxes and supports local handymen. If he were to put his property up for sale, Mitchell said, these proposed changes would affect him. “That’s not gain, ladies and gentlemen. That’s not gain,” Mitchell said. “I have no conflict of interest, period.” Alderman Bob Thomas, who recently opened overnight lodging, said he does have a conflict of interest but wouldn’t recuse himself from every proposed change to the code. “If we had an ordinance that said you

have to have toilets in bed and breakfasts, I would vote for that and not feel a conflict of interest,” Thomas said. “I am actually going to be voting against a couple of things tonight, but in the future I’ll be recusing myself.” The council approved the proposed ordinance amending adoption of plans on a second reading, but the remaining ordinances didn’t fare so well. Alderwoman Kristi Kendrick said she was concerned that a few of the proposed ordinances included more than one subject at a time, saying Arkansas law requires each ordinance to address one single subject. Kendrick said she disagrees with the proposed requirement for B&B owners to register the property as their primary domicile. “I really think that’s very nebulous and it can mean different things,” Kendrick said. Planning chairwoman Ann Tandy-Sallee said she’d be happy to take the proposed revisions back for review. The council voted to send those proposed ordinances to the commission for further review. In other business, the council rescinded a Jan. 8 vote to suspend all engagement with the Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation until the foundation produced its articles of incorporation, lease with the school district and financial records. Mitchell said he made the motion to do due diligence for Eureka Springs taxpayers. “There was a discussion about different entities and money, so I think a lot of the issue about this motion came to that,” Mitchell said. Schneider moved to rescind the vote, and the council unanimously agreed to do so. The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, July 23, at The Auditorium.

ES community center, school board explore path to continue after-school program By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com
The future of the Community Center After-School Program is uncertain. Representatives from the Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation attended the Eureka Springs School Board’s Monday meeting to advocate for the program and discuss possible paths for the Eureka Springs School District to continue providing it. Chairwoman Diane Murphy said she visited with Superintendent Bryan Pruitt and district treasurer Pam McGarrah to discuss the possibility of the district entering into a contract for services with the community center to provide after-school care. “I had asked [foundation board member] Jack Moyer to do some research because he has some contacts at the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) that I don’t have,” Murphy said. “We contacted Lori Freno, general counsel for ADE.” She continued, “We asked her ‘Can the school district enter into a contract for services with a nonprofit to provide after-school care?’ and ‘Can the school district use unrestricted funds for the contract for services for after-school care?’ ” Murphy said Freno responded positively to both questions. Moyer said the path would include entering into a contract for services with a third party, a nonprofit in this scenario, and operating the after-school program under a memorandum of understanding (MOU). Pruitt said he had contacted Arkansas School Boards Association (ASBA) staff attorney Kristen Craig Garner about the idea, and she did not recommend that the district pursue it. “In fact, she said even if the community center uses our school campus we have to charge you to use those facilities,” Pruitt said. “On using school funds for an after-school program, we can’t legally do it.” He continued, “I know sometimes it looks like we have lots of wealth sitting around because we have a large balance in
our building fund, but we also have to look at the debt at our high school. We still owe about $12.2 million on that. We do not get state foundation money to pay for that. We pay for it locally with district funds.” Moyer said the community center foundation reached out to ADE commissioner Johnny Key and advocate Marla Johnson, who co-founded marketing agency Aristotle Inc. Moyer said Johnson connected them to Dr. Jay Barth, chair of the State Board of Education. “Barth reviewed what we are trying to accomplish and set us on a path,” Moyer said. “He first sent us to Laveta Wills-Hale, the head of [Arkansas Out of School Network]. She helped us craft this strategy.” He continued, “We reached back out to commissioner Key, and we authorized his general counsel to evaluate our situation and to also vet the solution that was developed through Laveta.” Moyer said Key advised the after-school program could continue through a contract for services and a MOU between the district and the community center foundation. “There’s also an opportunity for Eureka Springs to receive money back by providing an after-school program,” Moyer said. “The after-school program runs through National School Lunch (NSL) funds. The Arkansas state legislature has thrown another $3 million into that fund for match money.” He continued, “If we devise a strategy where you take unrestricted funds and you put it into the NSL fund, then you can use that fund to pay for your after-school program via a contract for services with a third party, in this case the community center.” Afterward, he said the district could apply for a matching grant, and that money will come back to the district. “You may not get 100 percent of it back,” Moyer said. “You’re going to have to spend it out first. The core element is ‘How will after-school services be provided for our kids in the school district?’ ” Board president Chris McClung said ev-
eryone can agree the after-school program is a good thing for the community. The issue, he said, is that the district may not be able to help because of legal concerns. “Garner talks about NSL funding in the email she sent us,” he said. “Her comment is ‘Your district can only use NSL funds to operate a program to serve NSL-qualifying students and serve them directly by offering things such as remediation or tutoring.’ ” McClung said Garner advised that NSL funds cannot be used for childcare, even if 100 percent of the children in the program were NSL-qualified. She said the district cannot use NSL funds and open the program up to all students without charging the students who aren’t NSL-qualified a market rate for after-school programming, he said. “In the MOU, you can identify the standards and how you want to deliver the service,” Moyer said. “That is viable. It’s a good solution. We’re trying to be a partner that does the right thing for the after-school program for the community.” He continued, “If we have two attorneys that don’t see eye to eye, one with the state association and one with ADE, that’s probably not the first time that’s ever happened, but I would take a wild guess that they can reconcile those two positions.” Board member Al Larson recommended having the attorneys speak to each other about a possible solution. “I think we are in agreement that we want to do something for the after-school program,” he said. “What would be the chances of getting Garner together with Freno to discuss?” McClung asked. “It would be high,” Moyer said. “We’re all on the same team here. You might have to look a little outside the box, which we’ve always had to do here in Eureka Springs.” “From my experience, there is no ‘outside of the box’ in the school system,” said board member Gayla Wolfinbarger. Murphy said the community center foundation needs to communicate with
after-school program director Carrie Gay about what will happen to the program. “Can we set a goal for an answer?” she asked the board. “We have to communicate with her that either ‘Yes, we found a path’ or ‘No, there is not going to be an after-school program’ and notify the parents. Can we arrange a conference call for the lawyers this week?” “We can try,” McClung said. “It’s difficult to set a timeline,” Larson said. “We will get three possible dates together by this Thursday,” Moyer said. Pruitt said that sounded good. After the meeting, he said the district will support the after-school program however it can but must ultimately follow the advice of its attorneys. “The school board and I are very supportive of the community center’s after-school program,” Pruitt said. “We feel it is beneficial for the students of the Eureka Springs School District. However, at the advice of Johnny Key, the state education commissioner of Arkansas, we must follow advice from our school board attorneys and legislative auditors for spending taxpayers’ funds.” Also at the meeting, the board voted to approve the transfer of $360,000 from the operating balance to the building fund and the transfer of $85,000 from the operating fund to Building Fund 3200 as required by Act 1105. “Act 1105 is an act the legislators came up with where they track your balances more, and they require you to reduce your budget down to 20 percent each year,” Pruitt said. “The 3200 fund is a coding fund in the state. We have $85,000 left over to reduce down to that 20 percent, so we will put that into that 3200 fund.” The board also voted to approve the 2018 school improvement plans and to appoint board member Jason Morris as the legislative liaison. The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 20, in the administration building.

The heat of summer seems to have topped out for now but we may have five or six more weeks of higher heat coming. Is global warming causing you to sweat or is it just the dog days of summer? Global warming is about the Earth adjusting herself and we can’t do very much about the higher temperatures and humidity, though doing what we can individually is a good thing. We all need to do the little things that we can on the big level to help all of us survive the adjustment. However, we can attend to our physical needs when we sweat too much. The skin is our largest organ. Taking good care of it should be a no-brainer but most of us just take it for granted. Beyond the very long list of all that it does, it houses the sweat glands. Sweat glands regulate our body temperature. The skin also helps us detox through our ability to sweat.
No sweat
There is a part of the nervous system that is responsible for releasing perspiration throughout the body. This is the body’s natural method of cooling itself down during active periods (such as exercise), exposure to warm conditions or worrying too much. A person with a medical condition called hyperhidrosis experiences uncontrolled sweating. Those who suffer from this condition are faced with major challenges every day. Body salts move from the inside of our bodies to the outside and accumulate on the skin. We need the salts on the inside for our other body systems to work properly. When these are depleted we have muscle cramps, headaches, heart problems, lethargy and difficulty thinking and sometimes death. Supplements used to put the salts back into our system are called essential electrolytes and are blends of minerals and vitamins.
A good electrolyte blend (mineral blend) would include sodium, potassium and magnesium as Jim Fain well as calcium, zinc, chromium and vitamin C. Of course hydrating with water is needed to get the salts back into your system. Don’t overdo water but be sure you have enough. Just lightly pinching the skin on the back of your hand can tell you if you are hydrated enough. If the skin stays up or slowly goes back down, then you need to drink more water. If it goes down quickly, you are fine. Stay cool this summer and pay attention to the world around you, but don’t sweat about anything too much.

Rains takes third place at SkillsUSA national championship By Samantha Jones and Kelby Newcomb Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Cole Rains is heading into his senior year at Eureka Springs High School with a major accomplishment under his belt. On Friday, June 29, Rains received third place at the national SkillsUSA championship for masonry. High school teacher Jason Hill said Rains competed as a bricklayer, saying the project was to create an s-wall. “Cole did something our district has never seen,” Hill said. “He placed third in the nation. It was a great experience. He had a lot of fun.” Hill said Rains scored 739/1,000, with the second-place winner scoring 789/1,000 and the first place winner scoring 939/1,000. “The first-place winner is in a high school that is more of a career and technical high school,” Hill said. “They do this day in and day out. I think [Rains] did absolutely wonderful. He’s the first person from Eureka Springs to ever make the podium at nationals.” Rains described his experience at the event, saying he competed in a 1.2-million square foot facility. He was there for five days, Rains said, and had the opportunity to

They had 100-ton rock trucks,” Rains said. “Their electricity bill for a month was like $60,000. That gives you a perspective on how big it was.” After that, Rains said, he attended a luncheon and checked out what he’d be building during the competition. He woke up on competition day at 7:30 a.m., Rains said, started competing at 8:30 a.m. and finished around 3:30 p.m. He had an idea of how he’d place, Rains said. “I could go look at all the other people’s projects and see how well they scored and how they finished,” Rains said. “I didn’t expect to get third out of 32 people. I was expecting around 10th or so, so I was very surprised.” High school principal David Gilmore said he’s proud of Rains. “This is a perfect example of how hard work pays off,” Gilmore said. “Any time I was up here working late, they were out there working late on their projects. Several students did very well at state and obviously at the national level.”

The Fourth of July celebration doesn’t end after the parade. This year, locals gathered downtown to enjoy the contests, food and company.
Penny Pemberton hands out juicy watermelon slices on a hot Independence Day morning. This contest is literally as American as apple pie. Pies are judged on appearance, texture, crust and, of course, flavor.
There’s not a crumb left of Mindy Godfrey’s apple pie, but she has a first-place ribbon to show for it.
Kids flock to the Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest and give it their best shot.
Watermelon Seed Spitting champions are (from left to right): Lucas Jones, 13, of Iowa, Nina Walton, 10, of Eureka Springs and Brayden Nelson, 6, of Nebraska.

Former Benton County official faces DWI charge after July 4 incident By Scott Loftis CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
Former Benton County judge Robert Clinard was arrested on drunk driving charges after a July 4 incident at the Carroll County Fairgrounds, Clinard, 68, was arrested at 10:12 p.m. on Wednesday, July 4, by Sgt. Jeremy Berner of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office. In an incident report, Berner writes that he heard radio traffic regarding a three-vehicle accident at the fairgrounds at approximately 9:45 p.m. and shortly afterward heard more radio traffic regarding a possible disturbance at the scene. Upon arriving at the fairgrounds, Berner writes, he made contact with a man later identified as Clinard sitting in the driver’s seat of a white Ford Expedition. Clinard acknowledged that he had been involved in a vehicle accident, and Berner writes
that he could “smell a strong odor of intoxicants coming from the interior of the vehicle.” Berner had Clinard step out of the vehicle and asked him if he had been drinking, the report says. “He advised me had drank a few,” Berner writes. “I asked him how many a few was and he told me two.” Clinard Berner writes that he asked Clinard if he would be willing to complete field sobriety tests. “Robert was very hesitant and advised me that he did not think that was necessary, that he was not that intoxicated,” Ber-
ner writes. “I asked Robert if he would be willing to take a Portable Breath Test for me. He was very hesitant of that also but complied and said yes.” Clinard then provided a breath sample that indicated a blood alcohol content of 0.22 percent, Berner writes. The legal limit in Arkansas is 0.08 percent. Berner arrested Clinard and transported him to the Carroll County Detention Center, the incident report says. The detention center intake log indicates Clinard was booked on a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated. He was later released on bond and his next court date is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 5, in Berryville District Court. Reached by telephone Monday, Clinard said he doesn’t believe he is guilty of driving while intoxicated. See DWI, page 11

“The only comment I’ll make is I don’t believe I’m guilty and I’ll be going to court to try to prove that,” he said. “… I was not on a public road. I was not in a public driveway. It was just very unfortunate.” Clinard served three terms as Benton County judge, from 2011 to 2017. He was defeated in a bid for a fourth term, losing in the 2016 Republican primary. Clinard was arrested for public intoxication in August 2014 at a festival in Rogers. Published reports say two Benton County deputies working foot patrol at the Frisco Festival in Rogers were alerted of a man walking down the street “very drunk, and falling down,” according to a report by television station KNWA. The deputies eventually found Clinard leaning against a car and trying to use a cell phone, KNWA reported. The deputies noted that Clinard had a very strong odor of intoxicants and nearly fell several times as the deputies escorted him to their vehicle a few blocks away. In response to a question from the deputies, Clinard said he had not taken any medication, KNWA reported. Clinard eventually told the deputies he
thought he might need medical attention, according to the KNWA report. While waiting for an ambulance, he reportedly said: “My wife is going to kill me.” Paramedics who arrived on scene informed the deputies that Clinard’s heart rate was extremely elevated, and he was transported by ambulance to a hospital. Deputies later went to the hospital and issued Clinard a citation for public intoxication, according to the KNWA report. The charges were later dropped. Television station KHBS/KHOG reported that the Rogers city attorney said that prosecutors couldn’t prove Clinard had alcohol in his blood because a test was not taken at the hospital. The station reported that Clinard had been diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat after the incident. In December 2017, the Berryville City Council awarded Clinard’s construction firm, R. Clinard Construction and Consulting LLC of Rogers, the contract to renovate the former National Guard armory in Berryville. The building will now serve as the Carroll County Career Center, which will house the new Connect 4 program for local high school juniors and seniors. Clinard has served as the project manager for the renovations.
