Mitchell resigns DISPATCH Desk from Eureka Springs City Council By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
After serving on the Eureka Springs City Council for more than five years, David Mitchell is stepping down. Mitchell announced in an email at 5:19 p.m. Monday, July 16, that he will be resigning from the Position 2, Ward 1 seat on the council. The email was sent to Mayor Butch Berry, alderman Bob Thomas, alderwoman Kristi Kendrick, alderwoman Melissa Greene, alderwoman Mickey Schneider, alderman Terry McClung, mayor’s assistant Kim Stryker, finance director Lonnie Clark and Eureka Springs Independent reporter Nicky Boyette. The Citizen obtained a copy of the email after being notified by one of the recipients. “The attached letter is the total of the issue and stands as submitted,” Mitchell said in the email. “I am sure some will try and make this more that [sic] it is but it is not.” Mitchell hopes his resignation will allow the council a chance to appoint a replacement for his position, he said, for the rest of the calendar year. That person will then have time to consider running for his position in the fall, Mitchell said. “Opening up my position will allow the public to monitor a candidate for the city council for the next two-year term and apply common sense to their selection,” Mitchell said. “It has been an honor to serve in this capacity for these 5.5 years and I wish you will [sic] in your next term.” Mitchell said he has served for
three terms unopposed and didn’t plan to run again this year. The reason for that, Mitchell said, is he believes in term limits. “I have discussed recently with you the desire to resign and thus allow a potential candidate for my position to be able to with council approval sit out the remainder of Mitchell this term,” Mitchell said. Berry said Tuesday he’s not sure if the council will name a replacement for Mitchell. It’s up to the council, Berry said, to name a replacement or wait until the election takes place in November. “It’s possible they won’t name anyone, because we’re so close to elections,” Berry said. “They may decide to hold off until the election or hold off until after the primaries to see if there’s more than one person going to apply for that position.” Berry continued, “If there is more than one, it may not be fair to nominate someone. It’s up to the council to make a decision on what they want to do.” Berry thanked Mitchell for his service to the city. “I hate to see David resign. He’s contributed a lot to the city and to the city council,” Mitchell said. “I’ve always respected what David has done and the questions he’s asked, and he’ll be missed.”

Hospital commission considers options for renovation By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs Hospital is one step closer to getting a facelift. On Monday afternoon, the Eureka Springs Hospital Commission heard from Bates Architects about the options for renovating the building. Architect Diane Adler said there are four proposed plans, saying she’s worked with fellow architect Tom Johnson to give the commission plenty of options moving forward. Johnson presented the plans, beginning with Option A. In that option, he said, clinic space will be on the lower floor along with the circulation desk, laundry and building services. The helipad is shifted out, Johnson said, and all the support services will be located on the lowest floor. That option would result in a 56,000-square-foot hospital for an estimated cost of $21.1 million. “The footprint is similar to the hospital in Cassville and a little bigger than Berryville,” Johnson said. “Basically, it brings you up to that level.” Option A has three phases of construction, Johnson said. Adler explained why the phases are important, saying that’s a vital part of the plan. “The number of phases is to help you have all these plans in place where you can phase those over time depending on the schedule and funding,” Adler said. Chairman Michael Merry asked if that meant each phase stands on its own, and Adler said it does. Each phase will likely have sub-phases, Johnson added, and the commission will receive the cost per

phase after a plan is chosen. Johnson moved on to Option B, which features a two-level parking deck. The deck would offer 70 additional parking spaces, Johnson said, with a big emphasis on green space surrounding the hospital. Johnson said there would be a 15-bed in-patient unit and an extended behavioral/psych unit. The clinic entrance is on the parking deck side, Johnson said. “Ambulances come in at the same place,” Johnson said. “We’re separating that from visitor traffic.” Option B would result in a 49,700-square-foot hospital for an estimated cost of $21.2 million. it would take three phases to complete, Johnson said. Option C is similar to Option A, Johnson said, but some departments are moved around to give the commission choices on how the building would flow. Commissioner Mary Jean Sell asked if that option included a gift shop, and Johnson said none of the options do. That’s because Allegiance Health Management didn’t request a gift shop, Johnson said. “It would be really keen if we could have one,” Sell said. “For all the hospital auxiliary has done for this hospital, they deserve some space.” “I think it’s a good idea,” Johnson said. “It’s easy to add a gift shop.” Option C would result in a 58,700-square-foot hospital for an estimated cost of $22.9 million. It would take three phases to complete construction, Johnson said. From his conversations with Allegiance, Johnson said, this
is the preferred option Option D is by far the cheapest option, he said, coming in at 41,000 square feet for an estimated cost of $13.5 million. There are two phases of construction for Option D, Johnson said. Johnson explained how the 1929 building will be used in each plan, saying he knows the community cares about historical buildings. “Option A sashes the front part of the building. In Option B, it’s gone,” Johnson said. “In Option C, the whole thing’s gone, and in Option D, we keep the whole building. We tried to look at all the possibilities.” While Option D maintains the 1929 building, Adler said, it would be difficult for the community to see much change to the hospital. “The departments have a little bit of growth, but it’s not where ideally it should be ,” Adler said. “Maybe the impression wouldn’t be as strong as the other options would be.” Commissioner Suzanne Tourtelot said she’s concerned no one will notice the renovations if the 1929 building remains. “Leaving the facade, they’re still going to say it’s just a dirty old hospital,” Tourtelot said. “If they see a new facade, they’ll say it’s new and clean.” Johnson said it feels disingenuous to leave the facade up, and Merry agreed. “Saving any of it really is going a long way to spend money on something that isn’t very valuable or much of an asset,” Merry said. “It is valuable to a lot of people in the community,” commissioner Barbara
Dicks said. “I agree,” Merry said. “I mean in regards to operating the hospital.” Adler asked the commission to look over the options and come to a consensus on how to move forward. That’s really up to Allegiance, Merry said. “It’s time to sit down and call Allegiance and say, ‘This is what we gleaned from what we paid for,’ ” Merry said. It’s important, Tourtelot said, for the commission to be on the same page as Allegiance. “If we choose something and they say, ‘Absolutely not,’ are we just spinning our wheels?” Tourtelot said. “We need to work together.” Tourtelot said she’s concerned about how Allegiance will pay for the construction, considering the company has been late on its payments recently. “I do not want to take one step forward until I have a clear understanding of why our payments are late and our utility bills are not paid,” Tourtelot said. “If you can’t make money enough to pay your bills on time, how are you going to do this?” Mayor Butch Berry said the city won’t be on the hook for the renovation cost, because there would be a surety bond in place requiring Allegiance to pay for it. No matter what, Tourtelot said, she wants to clear the air. “I think we have some business to take care of until we move it forward,” Tourtelot said. The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 20, at the ECHO community room.

ES cemetery listed on National Register of Historic Places By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com
The Eureka Springs Cemetery has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. According to the National Register nomination, the rural cemetery contains burials dating to the 1880s and many of the monuments can be attributed to local and regional sculptors and stonemasons. It says the cemetery contains excellent examples of funerary art, monument and statuary designed during the period of significance, ranging from modest marble grave markers to elaborate marble obelisks and limestone monuments. The extant resources represent changing attitudes toward death and burial practices through the period of significance, the nomination says, and the organization and layout of the site, as well as tombstone decoration, symbolism and inscriptions provide documentation of the traditions and beliefs important to the citizens of Eureka Springs, including members of fraternal organizations and various religious denominations. At the Eureka Springs Cemetery Commission’s Wednesday meeting, chairwoman Susan Tharp announced that the cemetery had also received the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program’s cemetery grant. She said commissioners Jim Jordan and Luther “L.B.” Wilson had resigned, and city preservation officer Glenna Booth, who helped with the grant application, has volunteered to serve as a commissioner. Booth said the commission received

the maximum grant amount of $9,999 and must provide a 20 percent match, which would be approximately $2,000. The commission voted to pursue the conservation of headstones as its grant project, deciding to concentrate on repairing leaning and broken headstones near the front of the cemetery and cleaning headstones made out of local limestone and marble since they are deteriorating the fastest. Tharp said they would need to purchase a large water tank, a pressure washer and a 55-gallon drum of the cleaning solution D/2 in order to hold community workshops where volunteers will be trained on how to clean the headstones under the supervision of the commission members, cemetery superintendent Pat Lujan or stonemason Bruce Wright. “This grant will be coming to the city, not directly to the cemetery commission,” Booth said. “We’ll have to make three quarterly progress reports in December, February and April. The final spend-out needs to be by June.” She continued, “We cannot spend grant money on equipment, so we will be spending as per our grant. Most of the money will go to Bruce for resetting the really bad stones.” Booth said the grant can cover Wright doing the training, his work time at a $30 per hour rate and the purchase of cleaning supplies. “The D/2 is our biggest expense at $3,900 to buy two drums,” she said. “The way the grant works is we have to spend our matching funds first and then we put in for the grant money.” The commission voted to purchase a 6-foot-by-8-foot trailer for $999 using commission funds. “That should be plenty big enough to put a water tank and a generator on,”
Tharp said. “We could purchase the trailer out of the cemetery commission fund. We need one anyway to haul our lawnmowers to get them fixed.” Booth said she would like to meet with Wright in August to finalize the list of items to be covered by the grant. Secretary and treasurer David Sallee updated the commission on the tractor fund, which was established in March with the goal of purchasing a small tractor to fill graves and dig new plots at the cemetery grounds. The fundraising goal is $13,000, he said, and the commission has received about $8,277 in donations. Lujan said anyone interested in making a donation can call him at 479-244-5146. The commission voted to approve allocating $1,500 for the removal of two dead trees at the cemetery. During the superintendent’s update, Lujan said the cemetery had a successful Memorial Day event. He said he and cemetery sexton Gloria Stevens were at the cemetery from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. the Sunday and Monday of Memorial Day weekend to provide water and snacks to people decorating graves and answer any questions. “Our little fundraiser went really well,” Lujan said. “We took in almost $600 in donations for the tractor, and Gloria sold three plots while we were there. It was worthwhile. People loved us being out there, and Gloria spent a lot of time putting together information for over 95 graves.” He said it would be good as an annual event. Next year, he said he would like to advertise the event better before Memorial Day. The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 8, in the lobby of the Auditorium.

Eureka Springs School Board buys supplies for all students By Samantha Jones and Kelby Newcomb Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs School Board is erasing a source of stress for local families. Superintendent Bryan Pruitt confirmed July 13 that the board will be purchasing supplies for every student in the district for the 2018-19 school year, saying each principal will receive $7,500 for their building. That’s $22,500 for school supplies, Pruitt said, in addition to the $500 teachers receive by law for classroom supplies. “What I told our principals is to make sure teachers know this is for the students,” Pruitt said. “The money is for what would be required of the students to bring.” The teachers are looking at purchasing supplies in bulk, Pruitt said, to save money and ensure there’s enough for everyone. He said the supplies will be purchased by semester and handed out by need. “We’ll give them to the students as needed throughout the year,” Pruitt said. “I’m tickled to do this for our community, students and parents.” He hopes the students will take care of
the supplies they are given, Pruitt said. “I just want our students to be good stewards of that and not be wasteful,” Pruitt said. “I don’t want to see pencils broken and thrown down. I don’t want any of that. I want us to be resourceful and be good stewards of that money.” After all, Pruitt said, the parents have paid for the supplies by paying their taxes. He explained how the district’s finances work, saying the district is one of seven in Arkansas that are self-funded. That means the district doesn’t receive foundation or partnership funds, Pruitt said. “Our local assessed value is high enough that we generate the funds to support ourselves,” Pruitt said. “That being said, we have to pay for everything. Sometimes, it looks like we’ve got a big pot of money in our building fund, but we also have a $12.2 million loan on the high school we have to pay for.” Pruitt said the money for the supplies will come out of the regular district funds, saying the school had extra money after receiving more than 100 percent of its tax rate last year. That’s unusual, Pruitt said, and he’s excited to take advantage of it. He’s wanted the district to pay for school supplies, Pruitt said,
from the day he started working in Eureka Springs. “It’s kind of trial and error this first time, and $7,500 was the magic number we came up with to try it out. Hopefully, that will be enough,” Pruitt said. “The teachers still get their classroom supplies they normally buy for group projects, so I think it’s going to be a winwin for everybody.” In the Eureka Springs School District, 62 percent of the students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. Pruitt said he hopes offering free school supplies will help those families meet other needs, like new clothes or shoes. “It’s going to be a lot of people we can help. If we can help this way, maybe it will relieve parents,” Pruitt said. High school principal David Gilmore said parents voiced concerns last year about the amount of school supplies needs. “It seems like each year the students need more supplies, and the prices go up, too,” Gilmore said. “It can be costly, especially for parents who have three or four children enrolled in the school district. For some, supplies can cost upwards of $500.” Gilmore continued, “This is going
to have a big impact on our students. We’ve seen a lot of positive feedback online. Parents are very thankful for it. I think this will help improve our district’s relationship with parents and families.” Elementary school principal Clare Lesieur said teachers often spend their own money on school supplies, so she is excited that this cost will no longer fall on teachers and families. Families will still be responsible for providing their students with backpacks, but Lesieur said the school does have available backpacks donated by the community. Lesieur said she is glad that this will allow students to have all the supplies they need and keep the burden of buying them off families. The supplies will go to students regardless of their families’ level of income, Lesieur said. “I think it’s definitely a hardship on families, especially if they have multiple kids,” Lesieur said. Pruitt thanked parents for all they do to get students ready for school. “This is our way to return that favor to them,” Pruitt said. “Hopefully, this will be a win-win for our students and their families, and we can continue to do this next year.”

Applications must be submitted online by Aug. 15. “Any 501(c)(3) public charity, church, school, hospital or government agencies may apply for these Fall Giving Tree Grants that generally range from $300 to $3,000 each,”
said Janell Robertson, executive director. “Since our first Giving Tree Grant was presented in 2002, Carroll County Community Foundation has given out more than $274,000 during our Fall grant alone through our Giving Tree Endowment. All tax-deductible contributions made to our Carroll County Giving Tree Endowment grow and give back every year. Donating to this local endowment is a great way to support a variety of good work being done right here in Berryville, Eureka
Springs and Green Forest.” Nonprofits can visit arcf.org/givingtree to view Giving Tree grant submission guidelines and begin the application process. After the Aug. 15 deadline, applications will be reviewed by a grant-making committee made up of Foundation board members and local community leaders. “Through local Giving Tree grants, our state’s nonprofit organizations find support as they implement great ideas to improve
their communities,” said Heather Larkin, president and CEO of the community foundation. “Giving Tree grants are selected by local people in each of our affiliate areas and awarded to local organizations.” Funding for the Giving Tree program comes from hundreds of Arkansas donors who support the work of the Community Foundation.

Prostate problems?
Here is a unique supplement most people know nothing about. Men should read this column and acquaint themselves with Swedish Flower Pollen. The supplement is available in the U.S. but may be difficult to find. This is an alternative to Saw Palmetto for benign (non cancerous) hyperplasia (enlargement) of the prostate. So, if Saw Palmetto didn’t work as well as you would have liked, I’ve found an alternative. Swedish Flower Pollen can be used by itself or along with Saw Palmetto or any number of other supplements that are good for the prostate. As usual, I did a search through PubMed/MedLine and found abstracts of science studying whether it is useful. Honestly, not many research papers were found but one really stood out as it was done at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, DC. If you
do your own search, look for the word “cernitin or cernilton” not Swedish Flower Pollen. Cernitin is the actual extract studied, found in Swedish Flower Pollen. Rye grass pollen is likely the source for cernilton. The researchers start their abstract reporting by stating, “Pharmaceuticals such as finasteride and alpha blockers are used to treat symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and are known to cause severe adverse reactions. Accordingly, a search for safer, natural products has been undertaken. Two natural agents (nutraceuticals) have come under scrutiny; because natural products, in general, often have evidence of longterm safety.” They studied Saw Palmetto and Cernitin (defined pollen extract) found in Swedish Flower Pollen. The research was done in old rats
with varying amounts of testosterone as higher amounts of bound testosterone can influence BPH. Jim Fain I couldn’t find many studies done in humans but honestly you and I both know old rats with varying amounts of testosterone. Some will even be able to laugh about this ... some will grumble. The conclusion was the Cernitin was as good as the prescribed drug finasteride. Maybe, this effect could cause that old rat to grumble less. Certainly, being able to urinate better and less often is what we aging males (and those family members around us) want to gain. To make things even better, Swedish Flower Pollen has a lower price than Saw Palmetto.

Jetpack Jason demonstrates compression waves with the help of volunteer Eli as part of the Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library’s Summer Reading event Mad Science, where children learn about the science of sound.
Library event continues summer reading program By Alex Gladden WhitneyAlexGladden@gmail.com
The children sit eagerly awaiting the mad scientist to begin his show. He wears a white lab coat that bears the name Jetpack Jason. His tools, which range from a blowtorch to a potato, lay upon the tables that stretch behind him. Jason Kucerik, whose stage name is Jetpack Jason, performed the Super Science Show from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, July 16, at the Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library. The show was a part of the Libraries Rock! summer reading program and focused on sound. Throughout the show, Kucerik called for volunteers from the audience of about 15 children. Using demonstrations that involved the children, Kucerik showed how sound works, explaining that sound is a wave by propelling a spring into wave-like movements. Kucerik is part of Mad Science, a group dedicated to teaching children about science. He’s been working with
the organization for nine years, he said. He said he loves when “that lightbulb comes on” for children in the audience. Mad Science was founded in 1985 in Montreal, according to the organization’s website. There are now more than 160 locations in more than 20 countries on five continents. “It’s really fun,” Kucerik said. The show is only one part of the library’s summer reading program. April Griffith, the library’s community engagement specialist, said the program will end for younger kids Monday, July 30, with an end-of-program fiesta and will end for teens Friday, July 27, with a VIP-themed party. This year, Griffith said, 78 younger kids and 54 teens participated in the summer program. Some of the most popular events were the magic show for younger children and the lock-in for teens. “It’s a lot of programs, so there’s a lot of cool stuff going on,” Griffith said.

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.

JPs approve payment of overdue invoice By Scott Loftis CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
The Carroll County Quorum Court appropriated $50,000 at its July meeting on Monday to pay an invoice that was submitted almost 17 months ago for mapping software on computers at the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office. Justices of the Peace voted 10-0 to approve appropriating the money to the county’s emergency 9-1-1 fund, but not without expressing frustration with the situation. District 3 JP Lamont Richie sponsored the appropriation ordinance and asked his colleagues to approve adding it to the agenda, which they agreed to do. According to the ordinance, Zetron — a Washington-based company whose website describes it as a critical communications technology company — submitted a quote to the CCSO on April 25,
2016, for installation of a 9-1-1 mapping program on office computers and 20 laptops to be used by CCSO personnel. The ordinance says the quote was approved by the county judge and DCS Communications installed the software and provided training to CCSO staff. DCS submitted an invoice to the county on Feb. 23, 2017, the ordinance says, and the invoice remains unpaid. DCS is headquartered in Fort Smith. The company’s website describes it as a full service two-way radio sales and service facility. Richie, who has taken a lead role in drafting the county’s annual budget for the past several years, called it “unconscionable” that the invoice had not been paid. He said he learned of the situation last week. Richie said the invoice had not been presented to the quorum court’s budget committee “in any way, shape or form.”
District 1 JP Jack Deaton said he felt “blindsided” when he learned of the invoice. “Stuff like this has just got to stop,” he said. “That’s all there is to it. … I’m trying my best to do my job and keep things legal but, God, it’s getting tough.” Deaton suggested that the county may have violated state law by agreeing to such a large purchase without competitive bidding. Sheriff Randy Mayfield, who was in the audience at Monday’s meeting, said most of the sheriff’s office vehicles are equipped with laptops and that the CCSO already has mapping capability through its existing software. He told JPs that he didn’t know who ordered the additional software or why. County Judge Sam Barr said he approved the quoted price from Zetron but said that to the best of his memory he
was told the bill would be paid from the sheriff’s office budget. On Wednesday, Mayfield said the transition of the county’s 911 and central dispatch operations from the Eastern District Courthouse in Berryville to the building on Hailey Road that houses the sheriff’s office and county detention center is “a county government project that I wasn’t directly involved in.” A representative of the sheriff’s office, who is no longer employed by CCSO, was more directly involved with the project, according to Mayfield and investigator J.J. Reddick. Reddick said the unpaid invoice was recently brought to his attention by the vendor and he notified Mayfield. In other business at Monday’s meeting, JPs: • approved the second and third readings of an ordinance combining the See Quorum Court, page 11

Quorum Court Continued from page 10
county’s budget and finance committees into one, five-member committee; • approved the second and third readings of an ordinance revising in its entirety the Carroll County Employee Handbook; • approved a resolution restating the quorum court’s rules of procedure regarding the order of business and the submission of agenda items; • and approved a resolution appointing Jim Hughes, Connie Deaton and Alvin Selleck to the Western Carroll County Ambulance District commission. All of the votes were 10-0. District 10 JP Larry Swofford was absent. During the portion of the meeting set aside for public comments, Carroll County Airport manager Michael Pfeiffer said the airport will be applying for a 90/10 matching grant from the Federal Aviation Administration and would like to have a resolution regard-
ing the 10 percent match requirement on the agenda for next month’s quorum court meeting. Also during public comments, the county’s veteran services officer, Alex Brown, said an increasing number of veterans are requesting assistance with transportation to medical appointments and he is working with local churches to set up a system to accommodate those needs. Brown said he wanted to make JPs aware of his efforts and ensure that there are no legal concerns. In response to a question, Brown said organizations providing transportation should be properly insured and the county would bear no liability. Sponsored speakers at Monday’s meeting were Ken Trimble of Eureka Springs, who outlined his concerns about the state’s use of herbicides along highways in the county and suggested that a better alternative might be planting wildflowers in conjunction with a state program; and Lonnie Robbins, a
resident who lives on Carroll County Road 608. Robbins said residents were promised long ago that the road would be paved and although a portion of it has been, the remainder is in poor condition and residents are faced with a health hazard because of dirt and dust from the road. Other residents who live on CR 608 also raised their hands at Monday’s meeting and expressed concerns similar to Robbins’. Barr said he has discussed the issue with the state and hopes to have the road paved next year if he is re-elected. During the portion of the meeting reserved for JP comments on non-agenda items, Richie said that after consulting with county attorneys, he believes that the county cannot enforce ordinances regarding hangar rentals at the county airport, although he said the quorum court can exact some assurances from the airport commission tied to county appropriations to the facility. District 7 JP Noreen Watson said her constituents

have expressed concerns about criminal activity including illegal drug use and thefts and that they fear reprisals if they report the crimes. Barr told JPs that he had received a call from the Northwest Arkansas Economic Development District asking for the county to appropriate some money to the district. County treasurer Cindy Collins said NWAEDD provides administrative services to the county on grants. She described county appropriations to the economic development district as a “membership fee.” Richie said there will be an appropriation ordinance on the agenda next month. The quorum court’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 20, at the Carroll County Eastern District Courthouse in Berryville.
