Chamber COO announces resignation By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Paul Miller has resigned from his position as chief operating officer of the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce. Interim director Damon Henke confirmed Tuesday that Miller agreed to resign after the chamber’s board of directors met Monday, July 16. The reason Miller resigned, Henke said, is so the chamber can work on restructuring itself. “He has been and continues to work with us to make sure the structure is sound in the future,” Henke said. Miller’s position has not been eliminated, Henke said, and the chamber will be seeking another person to fill the position at some point. That person will likely be called the director of the chamber, Henke said. “The future of the chamber will include the position. We typically call it a director,” Henke said, saying former CEO and president Tammy Thurow asked for a bigger title when she got the job in December 2015. Interim director is not a new role for Henke. He served in this position after former director Mike Bishop was fired in March 2015 and said he knows what it entails. “Along with the board, I’ll oversee the transition to a new location,” Henke said. “I’ll act as director of the staff for the
visitor center, and I’ll make sure our social media presence, online presence and visitor service presence are all stable and effective.” Eureka Springs should be presented as a “synergistic destination” for visitors, Henke said. “That Miller includes removing limits from Jackrabbit and the visitor guide so anyone can participate in our marketing for Eureka Springs, regardless of whether they’re a member of the chamber or not,” Henke said. “The guests sign our paycheck in Eureka Springs. Without the guests, we can’t move forward economically. We have determined our goal is to push the community forward regardless of membership.” The reason to join a chamber has everything to do with networking, Henke said. “It’s credibility, networking and economic development,” he said. “Those three factors will be a platform for ongoing services and the work plan for the chamber.” Miller was named COO of the chamber in May 2017 after working at NASA for 18 years. He could not be reached for comment.

Homeless in Carroll County
Local officials see problem, but resources are scarce By Alex Gladden WhitneyAlexGladden@gmail.com
Ken Winston lives out of his car. He shaves in the car every morning and tries to keep clean, but he said it’s difficult. During the summer, it’s hot at night. When Winston can’t shower, the heat and sweat make him itchy, he said. “We have heat exhaustion from sleeping in the car all night,” Winston said.
A local problem Winston has often worked in exchange for a place to live, but he can’t do manual labor anymore because he has pain in his stomach, which he thinks stems from pancreatic problems. Winston needs rest from everything he’s been through, he said. On top of this, he and his partner both have mental health problems. “I’ve been dealing with depression and anxiety since I was a little boy,” Winston said. He said being homeless makes his mental health problems worse. He came to Eureka Springs in December because he asked God where to go, and Winston said he felt called to come here. About two months into living here, his car developed an oil leak. He can’t drive anywhere without buying more oil to put in the car, he said. But he volunteers at A Cup of Love Ministry. “That’s how I keep myself sane,” Winston said. In Eureka Springs, Chuck and Pattie Jarrett, who founded and run A Cup of Love Ministry, said they think homelessness stems from a lack of jobs in the winter. People come to Eureka Springs for jobs, but they don’t know the jobs are seasonal, and they get stuck, Chuck said. “I wish they wouldn’t advertise that there’s jobs here,” Chuck said. Pattie said she didn’t realize until she and Chuck started their ministry how many homeless people are in the area. Chuck said he estimates there are about 80 homeless people in Eureka Springs, and they feed about 400 to 700 people a week, going
through about 4,000 pounds of food each week. “We do feed a lot of homeless people, but you don’t have to be homeless to come here,” Chuck said. The couple wishes city or county governments would offer more services, but they don’t think the officials know that homelessness is an issue in the area, they said. There are no homelessness shelters in Carroll County. “I think they are really just now realizing there’s a problem,” Chuck said.
Families in need In the 2016-17 school year, Eureka Springs reported having 27 homeless children in the district, while Berryville and Green Forest reported having even more homeless children in their districts at 89 and 48, respectively, according to the Arkansas State Department of Education. For the 2017-18 school year, Eureka Springs had 15 homeless children in its district, Eureka Springs Superintendent Bryan Pruitt said. If families can’t afford educational supplies or services, the school generally pays for them. In the district, 62 percent of the students have free or reduced lunches. Most of the Eureka Springs students who are homeless are living in a house with their family and another family. The federal government defines homelessness as sharing houses with multiple families, living in shelters, living in temporary housing like motels, hotels and camping grounds, and living in a location that is not typically used for sleeping, according to the National Center for Homeless Education. For the 2017-18 school year, Berryville schools had 198 homeless children, making up 10 percent of the student population, Berryville Superintendent Owen Powell said. “It puts a huge burden on a kid getting to their full potential,” Powell said. Powell said if students are homeless then they also are likely not getting all their meals or proper nutrition. These students are absent often. They also might have low

self-esteem or anger problems. Powell said all these factors can lead to behavioral problems and set the students, who probably came into school further behind wealthier students, back. About 72 percent of Berryville’s students have free or reduced lunch, basically meaning that these students are living in poverty, Powell said. He said that roughly 80 percent of the district would likely qualify for free or reduced lunch, but it’s difficult to get older kids signed up for the program, cutting down on the portion of students who are actually signed up for the lunches. Green Forest Superintendent Matt Summers said the district purchases educational tools for students whose families can’t afford it. It’s hard for students to concentrate on school, Summers said, when they’re concerned about food or their homes. Green Forest has 82 percent of its students enrolled in the free or reduced lunch program, Summers said.
Homeless or transient? In nearby Washington and Benton counties, University of Arkansas professor Kevin Fitzpatrick conducted his own survey in 2017, showing there were 2,951 homeless people in those counties. According to the survey, 40 percent of the homeless in Washington and Benton counties suffer from substance abuse problems, while 63 percent report a mental health problem. Homeless people often qualify for federal assistance because of their low or nonexistent incomes, but to qualify, they have to have addresses, and they often do not, Fitzpatrick said. Eureka Springs Police Chief Thomas Achord sees the homelessness in Eureka Springs as similar to homelessness in Fayetteville. He said he thinks the homeless people in the two areas are more transient than homeless and instructs his officers to refer to them as transients in reports. See Homeless, page 5

The tunnel repairs on Flint Street are a work in progress. The repairs began June 11 and should be completed by the first week of August, according to Eureka Springs public works director Dwayne Allen.
Flint Street repairs last longer than officials predict By Alex Gladden WhitneyAlexGladden@gmail.com
The repairs to Flint Street should be completely finished by the first week of August, Eureka Springs public works director Dwayne Allen said Tuesday. A tunnel for storm drainage runs under downtown Eureka Springs, Allen said, which ultimately caused the area under Flint Street and the Grand Central Hotel’s private parking lot to collapse. Repair work began in June, and Allen said he originally expected the project to last about 30 days. Now, Allen said, he expects it to last about 60 days. Escape Room 13 owner Charles Mowrey said the construction has impacted foot traffic and made it more difficult for people to navigate the downtown area. But he has not seen a drop in revenue for Escape Room 13, which is close to the construction area. Damon Henke, interim director of the Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce,
said the repairs raised the frustration levels of tourists. To get to Douglass Inn, which Henke owns, guests have to take a halfmile detour. Henke and Mowrey agreed that the largest impact was the lack of parking after the private lot collapsed. Mowrey said people had to circle the area for about 15 to 30 minutes to find a parking spot on busy days. The private lot that collapsed has been reopened, Allen said, making parking spots at the Grand Central Hotel accessible again. Although the repairs to Flint Street are not complete, Allen said, contractor Davis Construction has filled in the hole. Before the area is reopened, Davis Construction will put in a drain, Allen said. He said a separate company will repave the street. The city has not officially chosen a company to pave the area, Allen said. “The bad spot was right under the city street, which was a disaster waiting to happen,” Allen said.
In the process of fixing the street, workers uncovered several artifacts, including two automobiles, Allen said, dating from 1910 to 1930. The public works department has been monitoring the tunnel closely since 2010 when the city first surveyed it, Allen said. About a year and a half ago, he said, the city obtained a $220,000 grant and started the process to fix the tunnel under the street. But the repairs, which cost about $250,000, didn’t begin until June 11, Allen said. Allen said he would like to divert the tunnel to avoid future collapses like this one, but that will not be possible until several million dollars become available for the project. At the moment, he said, there are not any other areas that need immediate attention. “One of these days, we’ll have trouble under one of these buildings and that’s going to be a whole other situation,” Allen said.

Council accepts Mitchell’s resignation, declares vacancy By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs City Council officially has an open seat. On Monday night, the council accepted alderman David Mitchell’s resignation and declared a vacancy for his seat. Alderman Bob Thomas asked how the council should move forward considering elections are coming up in November, only a few months away. City attorney Tim Weaver read the state law, saying the council “shall proceed to elect” a new council person at the first regular meeting after the vacancy has been declared. Alderwoman Kristi Kendrick agreed with Weaver and said the word “shall” implies the council must name a replacement for Mitchell. “Does ‘proceed’ mean we have to do it immediately, or can we develop a timeline?” Thomas asked. “Does that not mean proceeding?” “If your timeline is to involve four months of not appointing anyone, that would be looked on unkindly by a court,” Weaver said. “That would be beyond what they could probably stomach. ‘Shall’ tells you it’s not something to necessarily try to

“I’m all for trying to get these folks help, but I think a lot of them don’t really want the help,” Achord said. “I think they’re just there to live that lifestyle, which more power to them. You know, if I was 25 and had the mind to go backpack across Europe, I think I’d probably go do it, and I think they’re doing that here or some of them, some of them. Again, I don’t want to put everybody in the same profile, mold, because they’re different. I think some folks generally need some shelter, need some help.” Green Forest Police Chief John Bailey agreed that homeless people in the area are more transient than homeless. In his experience, people are generally trying to get to their families. “If it is people seeking jobs, they’ve
create your own rules.” The council must vote to fill the seat at its next meeting, Weaver said, if candidates apply for the position. Those interested in the seat should contact City Hall, Weaver said. Alderwoman Mickey Schneider said she’s worried about taking a vote when citizens have already expressed interest in running for the seat in November. She’d rather appoint someone to the seat who doesn’t plan to run for it, Schneider said. “It had been originally suggested that the people running for Seat 2 of Ward 1 that we should be choosing from them to fill this seat, and I am 1,000 percent against that,” Schneider said. “It is extremely unfair to everybody else running. If you have three people running and this council, on their own, appoints one person, the other two may as well give it up.” Thomas said that’s not up for discussion yet. “Our business right now is to declare the vacancy, and if we want to discuss the process for filling that spot, we should add that to the agenda for the next meeting,” Thomas said. Mayor Butch Berry agreed, and the council moved on to fill the mayor pro-
tem position and an empty seat on the City Advertising and Promotion Commission. Mitchell held both positions before resigning. Thomas nominated alderman Terry McClung for mayor pro-tem, and the council unanimously agreed. Kendrick nominated alderwoman Melissa Greene for the CAPC position, but McClung voted no and the motion failed. Schneider then nominated Thomas for the position, and the council unanimously agreed. In other business, the council addressed five ordinances proposed by the planning commission. The council started with proposed Ordinance 2269, which would change the procedure for planning issues. Planning commission chairwoman Ann Tandy-Sallee said the proposed ordinance is meant to prevent the commission from having a public hearing when it comes to certain planning issues. “Should there not be a public hearing at some point for zoning changes?” McClung asked. “We’re not changing zoning. I’m not talking about zoning,” Tandy-Sallee said. “I’m talking about the changes we’ve been working on. We did a public hearing and nobody showed up.”
“That’s just part of the deal. That happens a lot in government,” McClung said. “I don’t think we should be eliminating anything in the process.” Greene moved to read the proposed ordinance a third time by title only, and Kendrick said it doesn’t reduce the number of public hearings. Tandy-Sallee said the commission doesn’t mind having public hearings, saying the proposed ordinance was meant to clarify the process. McClung moved to defer the proposed ordinance until the council has a better idea of what it means, and the council agreed to do so. “I’d be happy to forward that to everybody so they can look at it,” Tandy-Sallee said. The council moved on to the other proposed ordinances, voting down an amendment to R-1 Victorian Residential and R-2 Contemporary Residential. The council approved an ordinance amending C-1, C-2 and C-3 on a third and final reading, and approved a proposed ordinance amending the definition of a planned unit development on a first reading. The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 13, at City Hall.
come to the right place because Tyson’s always hiring,” Bailey said. Berryville Mayor Tim McKinney said most of the homeless people in the city are generally in a temporary situation. Berryville Police Chief Robert Bartos thinks most of the homeless people in the city are just passing through, but he does interact with a handful of people who are chronically homeless, and he said a few of them seem to have mental health problems. “Most of the homeless people I hear about are homeless because of some situation in their life that was out of their control,” McKinney said.
“And I have no idea why they’re homeless because they have work,” Eureka Springs Mayor Butch Berry said. Eureka Springs certainly does not have enough affordable housing, Berry said. He lauded Echo Village, an effort to create affordable housing in the community, as part of the solution to the problem. Volunteers are still working on completing the village, which will eventually include about 26 homes, some of which will have a monthly rent between $400 and $500. Some of the homes will be transitional, while some of them will be more permanent. Berry does not think the city of Eureka Springs is in a position to help homeless people. “Eureka is a financially poor city,” Berry said. Green Forest Mayor Charlie Reece said that his city also has a housing problem.
“There is a housing crisis here,” Reece said. He’s working with developers to try to build apartments and tiny houses in Green Forest in an effort to bring more affordable housing to the city, he said. Reece said that although it’s not obvious that people are homeless in Green Forest, he thinks it is a problem. “It’s there,” Reece said. “It’s not visible to the untrained eye.” While there aren’t any city initiatives to help homeless people, McKinney said he would be willing to work with a nonprofit to try to help. “You know, I just don’t see it to be enough of a problem for the city to do a major undertaking or project of any kind for right now, but we’d certainly be willing to assist somebody that was looking to provide help to those types of people,” McKinney said.
A housing crisis
In Eureka Springs, the city has an ordinance that doesn’t allow people to sleep in public places. Green Forest and Berryville do not have such ordinances.

Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) has been around for a long time and, in some circles, has a near legendary reputation. There certainly are tried and true benefits from the use of this herb but the legend may or may not be true. Modern science knows the herb to be a rich source of vitamins and minerals as well as chemical compounds. The vitamins and minerals include beta carotene, biotin, calcium, choline, chromium, cobalt, inositol, iron, magnesium, manganese, niacin and many more. The chemicals found naturally in Goldenseal are well-known and include aluminum, berberine, chlorine, hydrastine, silicon, tin and others. The two thought to be the most active are berberine and hydrastine. There are more than 50 scientific studies listed in the Phy-
Helpful herb sician’s Desk Reference for Herbal Medicines on the herb or these two chemicals. This is a low-dose herb to be used no more than three weeks with a break of two weeks. Following bottle directions is important, as high doses can be toxic. Long-term low-dose usage can cause a wide variety of disorders, some of which are similar to why you would use the herb in the first place. The benefits are mostly in the anti-microbial area, meaning it is known to kill a wide range of bugs that cause us to feel sick. Often goldenseal is used during cold and flu season, as it does have some benefit in improving the immune system as well as killing the bad ickies. Many don’t know that in tea form it is helpful as a douche reducing Candida infection. Alternative-
ly, the tea can be used as a mouthwash to help heal mouth, gum and tongue sores. Jim Fain The legendary use of goldenseal has to do with cleansing. Specifically, it is used for the elimination of the residue of recreational drugs. The old ones would use it to rid the body of waste but modern reports of the effectiveness in fooling urine tests is at issue. The legend may be just a story at this point in time. Folks who are pregnant or have liver, kidney or heart disease should stay clear of goldenseal, as should those with sugar problems and glaucoma. If you do use this remedy, then use it with caution.

ES Board approves commitment to after-school program By Kelby Newcomb and Samantha Jones CCNNews@cox-internet.com
The Eureka Springs School Board voted at a special meeting Tuesday to continue the Eureka Springs Community Center’s After-School Program. Diane Murphy, chairwoman of the Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation, presented the board with drafts of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) and a contract for services between the foundation and school district to provide after-school services. At the board’s regular July meeting, the board and community center foundation had agreed to have their respective attorneys discuss a possible solution for how the district could continue the after-school program. “My understanding is that there is a general agreement between the sets of attorneys now,” Murphy said. “Is that accurate?” Superintendent Bryan Pruitt said he did not know if they had reached an agreement. Board member Al Larson said Jay Bequette, general counsel for the Arkansas School Boards Association (ASBA), had advised there could be a contract for services with the community center. “The one sticking point that Jay insisted on was that the community center would have to pay for facilities,” Larson said. Murphy recommended the board speak directly with Laveta Wills-Hale, the head of Arkansas Out of School Network, who had helped the foundation devise a strategy to continue the after-school program. Board president Chris McClung asked if Wills-Hale has been involved in a similar situation where a school district funded an after-school program through a contract for services with a subcontractor. “She has a couple examples. I’ll forward the whole email to you with her contact information,” Murphy said. “She’d be happy to talk to you.”
She said the community center foundation needed to know if the board intended to continue the after-school program so parents could be notified before the new school year begins. “Could you do some sort of a motion that says it is your intention to fund an after-school program using the community center as a partner,” she said, “at no cost to the community center contingent on the contract being resolved or finalized?” Murphy said the community center foundation would not launch the after-school program or pass any information to families until the district made a commitment to the program. McClung said he was not comfortable voting on a motion like that without the full board present. “I think we’ve said the district would support the after-school program,” he said. “We believe it’s a good thing for our community to have. Until we can get all figured out on how to do this legally and keep the state and the auditors happy, then I am not comfortable in voting.” McClung continued, “We do have a quorum. We could do it, but without the other board members’ input, I’m personally not comfortable doing any kind of a motion related to this.” Larson said he would be willing to make a motion to come to an agreement with the community center foundation. “I’m making a motion that the school board make a commitment to enter into an agreement with the community center to have this year’s after-school program,” he said. Board member Joe Hill seconded the motion. “When it comes to notifying parents, what if the attorneys come back and say we can’t work that out?” Hill asked. He said he would rather get the issues See Board, page 10

TRANSITION Stephen Cooper Cawsey of Eureka Springs, Arkansas was born December 26, 1939 and left us June 30, 2018. He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Gail; son Mark and his wife Sherry and their children, Jacob and Carlee; daughter Kelly and her husband Kent and their two children, Chase and Anna. Please visit nelsonfuneral.com for full obituary. The following eulogy was written by a very special lady, Ms. Linda Perkins, who loved him dearly. She held a special place in his heart for more than 30 years and knew him well. “I am still in shock over the news of Steve’s passing. He was such a good man and such a strong man that I guess I thought he would live forever … I have lit a candle for him and poured a glass of wine for me and am remembering some of the great fun times we all spent together.
Stephen Cooper Cawsey Dec. 26, 1939 – June 30, 2018
I know you are already missing him. Those glimpses of him you see in the corner of your eye will continue for the rest of your life. He was strong and loving and occasionally annoying. He and I could easily compete in the knowit-all contest. He could fill up a room with just his presence. I remember how those beautiful blue eyes would crinkle up when he flashed that big, engaging smile. He always seemed happy and clearly he was madly in love with you. I can still hear him say, “Cool your jets, Gail!” when he thought you had one too many margaritas. Steve had such a passion and appreciation for the outdoors. He loved trees and flowers and animals and being near a body of water whether it be the Puget Sound, Big Bear Lake, the Oregon Coast, the Strait of Juan De Fuca, San Diego Bay or Beaver Lake. I always felt his stints as a smoke jumper and
volunteer fireman were a way for him to protect the nature he loved (and a way for him to meet chicks – lets face it, firemen are hot!). In fact, his passion was so infectious that his grandson, Jacob, is currently following in his footsteps as a Hot Shot for the forest service and hopes to one day be a smoke jumper like his grandpa Steve. This was a source of immense pride for Steve. As we know, Steve loved his NASCAR and spent more than a few Sundays watching cars drive around in a circle (really, an oval). I have never understood the sport of car racing or should I say, I have never understood the people who love the sport of car racing. But, Steve loved it and it wasn’t my job to figure out why. My little candle is nearly extinguished and my glass of wine long gone. I have shed some tears for Steve and for you and for me, but mostly for Steve. He

Pruitt said he did not recommend approving the motion. “My recommendation to the board is that I haven’t seen any clear legal agreement from our lawyers,” he said, “so I don’t feel comfortable recommending this. We don’t have a clear agreement from our lawyers telling us that we can spend our funds appropriately on an after-school program.” Board members Larson, Hill and Jason Morris voted in favor of making the commitment to enter into an agreement with the community center for this year’s af-

On Wednesday morning, Pruitt said he’s wary of the board’s decision. The full board wasn’t at the meeting, Pruitt said, and McClung didn’t support the motion. “I thought, ‘Well, I’ve got to tell our board I’m not in favor of this,’ ” Pruitt said. “I can’t recommend this, because our attorneys have not given us the legal direction that this is a thing to do.” Also at the meeting, the board voted to accept the resignations of Jamie Chapman, Stephen Crewse and Rachel Sicard and approved hiring Jerry Smith as a teacher and Stephen Crewse as a computer technician. The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 14, at the administration building.
