Businesses leave Pine Mountain Village after rent increase, new lease stipulations By Alex Gladden WhitneyAlexGladden@gmail.com
At least four businesses are leaving Pine Mountain Village after the owners raised the rent and added additional stipulations to the lease. Grandma’s Beans and Cornbread, a longtime Eureka Springs restaurant, has already closed and moved out of Pine Mountain Village. Hardcastle Antiques, Planet Leather and the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce are also leaving the complex, interim chamber director Damon Henke said. Vicki Hardcastle, the owner of Hardcastle Antiques, will have to close her storefront after she moves the business out of Pine Mountain Village, she said. She will instead return to working craft shows and private events after leasing her building in Pine Mountain Village for about a year. Hardcastle said the rent increase was a problem, but she especially couldn’t accept the add-ons to the lease, which made her liable for the parking lot and responsible for making repairs to damages to the inside and outside of the building. “As a small business, I could not take on the liability they wanted us to take on,” Hardcastle said. Hardcastle said the Johnson family, which owns Pine Mountain Village and Pig Trail Harley Davidson, refused to meet with the shop owners about the new additions to the lease. The Johnsons declined to comment for this story.

This building at Pine Mountain Village sits empty after longtime restaurant Grandma’s Beans and Cornbread closed recently. The restaurant is one of four businesses to leave the area after a rent increase and new lease stipulations.
Paul Johnson bought Pine Mountain Village about three years ago for $1.1 million. Henke said the Johnsons are trying to draw renewed interest to Pine Mountain Village and have big plans for the area. “The building owners in this town are the ones making money,” Hardcastle said. The chamber was considering moving to a smaller location before the Johnsons raised the rent at Pine Mountain Village, Henke said. When the rent increased, he said, it made even more sense to find another building. The chamber’s Pine Mountain Village location is about 4,000 square feet, and the
members would like something about half that size. The chamber will move by Sept. 1. Henke said the chamber will reopen the Eureka Springs Visitors Center at its new location. “The visitor center should go basically uninterrupted,” Henke said. Troy Johnson, the owner of Fresh Harvest, has run his business at Pine Mountain Village for six years. Troy Johnson said Fresh Harvest is staying at its location. “We’re happy here,” Troy Johnson said. In the six years Troy Johnson has rented at Pine Mountain Village, he said, this is the
first rent increase. He said it is very reasonable that the Johnsons decided to increase the rent considering there have been no increases in several years. “And we plan on staying,” Johnson said. Mayor Butch Berry said Pine Mountain Village is a great location and has a lot of potential. But when businesses close, there is less tax revenue and therefore less money for the city. “Anytime businesses are moving out it has a negative impact,” Berry said. “I’m disappointed businesses are moving out rather than moving in.”
CAPC launches mobile parking app By Alex Gladden WhitneyAlexGladden@gmail.com-
Parking in Eureka Springs just got easier. On Monday, July 30, the City Advertising and Promotion Commission launched Passport Parking, a mobile app that allows people to pay for parking through their phones. Mayor Butch Berry talked about the app at the Eureka
Springs City Council’s July 23 meeting, saying users can utilize the app for any city metered lot. There are about 150 parking spaces downtown, according to a press release from the CAPC. Through the app, customers may extend their parking times, keep track of parking history and receive notifications and email receipts, the re-
lease says. “It’s exciting,” Berry said. “I’m excited about this coming up.” The app notifies customers when their parking is about to expire, Berry said, and police officers will be able to monitor parking from their smart phones. Merchants and hotel owners will also have the option to buy time for their
guests and allow them to park for free, Berry said. He said he’s glad the app allows the city to keep its existing meters. “And it’s easy to use,” Berry said. “I mean I could even do it.” You can download the free PassportParking app from the App Store or Google Play and manage your parking online at ppprk.com.

The Eureka Springs School District is turning a new page this year, introducing the American Reading Company (ARC) Literacy Lab curriculum to grades K-8. Superintendent Bryan Pruitt said the curriculum cost $250,000, and Eureka Springs is the only school district in Arkansas to use the program. “It is expensive. That may be the reason we’re the only school in Arkansas using it,” Pruitt said. “Test scores are important, but the most important thing is to make our kids excited about learning. We want to give them the best tools possible, and we felt like this company had it.” Elementary school principal Clare Lesieur said she helped form a task force last year to research different literacy programs before choosing ARC Literacy Lab. What sets ARC Literacy Lab apart from other curriculums, Lesieur said, is the focus on using critical reading to move from one skill level to the next. “It’s an integrated curriculum, so it brings in our science and social studies as well as writing,” Lesieur said. “There’s a lot of research involved, and it’s project based.” Middle school principal Cindy Holt said the curriculum will help support science and social studies components already present at the middle school. “It’s going to be a total integration of that reading and social studies,” Holt said. “For us, it’s a support piece, because nonfiction texts have to be read differently, and it helps students hone those skills.” The curriculum is split into four units, Lesieur said, based on certain themes. She explained how important it is to assess each student’s reading level, saying that’s one of the best ways to track progress. “There are tubs of books for the students to do their independent research and their independent reading,” Lesieur said. “They will identify their reading level, and they’ll work out of that tub.” “But the idea is not to keep them in that tub,” Holt said. “It’s to work through that to

keep moving up. It’s about assessment and reassessment to keep them working at their own level.” The teachers will work with the students through small group instruction, Lesieur said. “All the core instruction takes place two reading levels above that grade level, so when the teacher’s teaching, the students are learning by listening to more complex texts,” Lesieur said. The best component of the curriculum, Holt said, is the way professional development works. Holt said an ARC Literacy Lab representative will continually visit classrooms to work with teachers and students. “We’re going to get a lot of professional development,” Holt said. “You can have a good tool, but if you’re not really instructed how to use that tool properly, it’s not as effective.” The students have worked well with the math and science curriculum at the middle school, Holt said. “The kids have responded so well to that, so we feel confident this will be another suc-
cess story, as well,” Holt said. Even though his students won’t be using the curriculum, high school principal David Gilmore said he’s excited to see instruction so streamlined at the elementary and middle schools. “In education, it’s a bottom-up approach,” Gilmore said. “If they can keep a kid on grade level when it comes to reading, my job is so much easier. When they get to the high school, we can provide a much more rigorous education for that student.” At the high school, Gilmore said, each student will have access to their own Chromebook this year. The students will check out the devices at the beginning of the year, Gilmore said, and return them in May. That means students can take their Chromebook home, Gilmore said. “It’s basically like a library book. This is going to be their resource. This is going to jbe their tool,” Gilmore said. “They can use it for their online curriculum at school. They can use it to research at home.” The students will use the same See Curriculum, page 10

Bell shares ECHO Village vision with BV Rotary By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com
Suzie Bell, co-founder of Eureka Christian Health Outreach (ECHO), visited the Berryville Rotary Club on Tuesday, July 24, to discuss the ECHO Village project and how the community is pulling together resources to address the needs of those who are housing-insecure in Carroll County. Bell said she and her husband, Dr. Dan Bell, got the idea to start ECHO Village after talking with their patients at ECHO Clinic and hearing how they struggled to find affordable housing in the area. “Basically, this project grew out of us learning that 40 percent of our patients are housing-insecure,” she said, “which means if they were not homeless then they were on the verge of being homeless. They were living with an aunt, a sister, a cousin or a friend, doing what we call ‘couch-surfing.’ ” Bell continued, “That was very stunning to us. It seemed like a natural thing for us to work toward this project because we found that, especially for people with chronic health conditions like diabetes, mental health and hypertension, you’re not that interested in being compliant with your medicine if you’re worried where you’re going to lay your head that night.” For the past five years, she said ECHO has partnered with hotels in Carroll County to temporarily house these patients. “We have some agreements with some hotel folks in Berryville and Eureka Springs for reduced rates,” she said. “Of course, that’s not a long-term solution. It at least buys us some time, especially in the winter when it’s 20 degrees.” Bell said ECHO had looked into purchasing some hotels in Eureka Springs to convert them into affordable housing. “That did not work out. Eventually, we landed on the idea of building small homes,” she said. “The idea is to give not a handout but a hand up. It’s not just having a place for people to stay but also providing programs for them so that we can mentor them, guide them and help pull them out of the cycle of poverty.”
Bell said local law enforcement estimates that there are about 85 permanent families in Carroll County who are homeless. “For those people who find themselves in a situation where they really need some housing and they need some help, those are the folks we’re trying to reach at ECHO Village,” Bell said. ECHO has purchased almost 10 acres next to the Eureka Springs Police Department on Passion Play Road. There is a plan to build 26 small homes, she said, and the square footage will range from 450 square feet for the smallest homes to 1,300 square feet for the largest ones. ECHO will own the homes and rent them out, she said. Bell said the plan is to provide rental on a sliding scale based on a resident’s ability to pay. The housing project is called “ECHO Village,” she said, because the plan is to develop a community. Bell said ECHO Village wants to help veterans, single parents, first-time jail offenders and people with mental or physical handicaps. “Some of our homes are handicap-accessible. That’s very important to us that they are able to live independently,” she said. “We will guide and mentor first-time jail offenders to make sure they don’t make those wrong choices that send them right back. Usually what happens is they get out of jail and go back to their same, environment, their same buddies and their same habits. It’s a cycle.” She said there will be a community garden, chicken coop, playground, cookout area and hopefully a community building with a meeting room, bathroom and kitchen for when residents want to have larger gatherings. “For the first eight homes, we were able to tap onto the existing sewer system,” she said. “They’re beautiful quality homes. I hope these will be homes the residents are proud to be in and work hard to stay in.” Bell said some of the houses will be transitional homes where residents can live for a few months until they get on their feet and

are ready to move on. In addition to area churches sponsoring some of the homes, Bell said she has written grants for funding and the project has received donations of both materials and labor. “I have a grant that paid for the first house and a half and another grant that will pay for another house,” she said. “Right now, the homes are staying on price, which we’re very excited about.” Bell continued, “The one-bedroom is about $35,000 to build, and the two-bedroom is about $45,000 to build. If you break it down, that’s $40 per square foot. If you’re building a house, the average cost is $110 per square foot, so this is very reasonable.” Aside from hiring professionals to pour the foundations, she said all of the labor has been done by volunteers. “We’ve been blessed in that we have had donated materials,” she said. “We’ve got a guy who has donated all of the flooring, including carpeting and tiles. That is
a blessing.” Bell said the volunteer group World Mission Builders built the first eight houses over two weeks in June. Rotarian Julie Hall asked what the timeline is for the first residents to move into the homes. “We’re taking applications now, and we hope that our first homes will be ready in late fall,” Bell said. “I need more than eight houses. The real kicker is going to be trying to decide who will go in those homes.” Bell passed out volunteer cards to the Rotarians, encouraging them to fill one out if they have any skills or contributions they want to donate to the project. People interested in volunteering or donating to the project can stop by ECHO Clinic at 4004 E. Van Buren in Eureka Springs and fill out “The Joy of Generosity” volunteer card. People interested in living in ECHO Village can also pick up applications at ECHO Clinic.

Community center offers new programs with more in the works By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs Community Center has been officially open for two months and now offers programming nearly every day. Activities director Catherine Luna said the community center is open from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. Programming includes walking fitness, Zumba classes, indoor soccer, swing dancing, pickleball and open gym time. Pickleball has turned out to be one of the most popular programs, Luna said. “It happens to be the fastest growing sport in America right now,” Luna said. “We went from knowing little about pickleball to knowing a lot. We’ve had a great turnout from the pickleball community, and we’re really excited about the programs and classes we offer.” Luna said the community center will be partnering with the Eureka Springs School of the Arts to offer classes onsite. This is a benefit for everyone, Luna said. “People don’t have to make that commute, and they can get introduced to ESSA here,” Luna said. “That’s going to be in January and February. We have a lot of things happening.” The programing will change based on how the community responds to it, Luna said. She said pickleball has already been scheduled more because of demand. “We want to respond to what the community is actively interested in now and what they think they may become interested in,” Luna said. “In addition to that, depending on funding, we’re going to hopefully end up expanding into a fitness area.”
Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation chairwoman Diane Murphy said the fitness area is the community center’s next big goal. “We have a couple of grants for that,” Murphy said. “That’s the next real addition we want to focus on.” Luna said she hopes to expand into more senior programming, too. The senior community is interested in being part of the community center, Luna said, and it’s important to have programs available for that demographic. “We’re looking at what programming we can do that would invite more senior participants,” Luna said. “We have such a rich community of seniors around here.” Murphy invited everyone to become a member of the community center, saying there are a few different options for membership. You can pay $20 for a single membership for the rest of 2018, Murphy said, or $40 for a family membership. Through the founding member campaign, Murphy said, you can pay $200 for a 12-month membership and receive a block from the old Eureka Springs High School. “It’s your one chance to get a block from the school and have that keepsake and make a great contribution,” Murphy said. If anyone would like to help out, Murphy said, the community center could certainly use volunteers. Luna said the best way to help is by spreading the word about what’s available at the community center, saying some people still don’t know it’s open. “It always amazes me when you live in a small community how some people don’t hear about one thing going on,” Luna said. “It’s especially exciting for me, because I get to introduce the

community center to new people to give them an idea of all the places we’re going.” Luna continued, “Keep talking about us and sharing things on Facebook and inviting people. We do a lot of our work through grants and volunteer hours and the hard work of everybody who is in-
volved in this program, but for us to continue to thrive, it’s really up to the community to participate in any way they can, whether that’s becoming a member, volunteer their time or making a donation.” For more information, visit www.EurekaSpringsCommunityCenter.org.

The first time I tried wheat grass juice I thought I was drinking lawn clippings. The scent rapidly reduced me to an awkward teenager struggling to push the Sarlo mower through grass that was growing at least an inch an hour. Or so it seemed, as the sweet smell of chlorophyll permeated my nose. I hated cutting the lawn back then. I also hated vegetables, especially the green ones, in those days. How time changes. It turns out that wheat grass was pretty good for health. Plants are like that, especially the green ones. There are many to be found in a vitamin store in the absence of fresh produce. Green Barley grass, Spirolina, Chlorella and Blue-Green algae are common monikers of healthful yet a little strange-sounding supplements. These can be
Great greens found in any form, from tablets to powder. I think the most interesting is the powdered formula products that often have dozens of ingredients including the ones I’ve listed as well as herb blends, enzymes, vegetable blends, fruit blends, mushroom blends and probiotics. This is like a one-stop supplement that is so easy, it’ll remind you of a drive-through restaurant. People most often add this powder to a drink base like juice, water or drink mixed into a smoothie. A big benefit of doing it this way is that you don’t have to swallow even a single pill and you can flavor it with anything you like. A greens powder is a for-sure way to get the benefit of those pesky green vegetables without gagging on a lima bean for instance.
All are very high in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, many from whole food sources. Some Jim Fain will contain wheat and soy. Some products are strictly vegetarian while others may not be, so keep an eye on the label. Our own Farmer’s Market now features a wide choice of young, fresh, clean sproutlike choices that I use for salad. These are green or blue-green foods that can easily ensure you and your family get the daily benefit of a wide range of nature’s healers. When I add the greens powder to yogurt in the blender, I don’t even remember cutting the lawn as a kid. I’m glad for that little bit of grace.

Good Shepherd seeking food, supply donations By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Good Shepherd Humane Society has received several donations over the past month, and shelter manager Sandra Mittler hopes that continues. On Wednesday, July 25, Mittler told Good Shepherd’s board of directors how grateful the shelter is for the donations. Mittler said the shelter always needs liquid laundry detergent, saying all brands

are welcome but Xtra and Arm & Hammer are preferred. “If you’re in the store and want to grab an extra one for the shelter, we would really appreciate it,” Mittler said. “Those two brands seem to work really well on our sprayers.” The shelter needs canned dog and cat food, Mittler said, and pop top cans are preferred. For the dogs, she said, chopped or ground food is best. “And the cats are cats, so they are very finicky,” Mittler said. “Some like shreds. Some like bits. Some like pate. Go wild with the cat food, whatever you feel like grabbing.” Another need, Mittler said, is a heavy duty gas-powered weedeater. “We have a weedeater and we use it, but we’ve got some pretty thick stuff to cut, so gas-powered is definitely needed, just as heavy duty as we can get,”
Mittler said. Also during the shelter report, Mittler said the shelter took in five dogs, four cats, three puppies and three kittens in June. The shelter adopted out 12 dogs and six cats, Mittler said, with one dog being returned to the shelter and three dogs being reunited with their owners. Mittler said the adoption numbers are looking good in June. “We were very close to the number we were trying to hit,” Mittler said. “We had the exact number of adoptions as we did intakes, so that was good.” Thrift store manager Janet Chupp presented the thrift store report, saying the thrift stores exceeded the budget in June. “Really, truly it’s all because of the volunteers,” Chupp said. “It’s amazing we can generate so much.” Chupp thanked president Jay Fusaro
for getting a new sign for the Berryville store and said she plans to paint the outside of the building soon. Fusaro said the board is still seeking someone to help redesign Good Shepherd’s website. He plans to check on some volunteers, Fusaro said, but the board might need to pay someone to work on the site. “I’ll come to the board with how much that would be,” Fusaro said. “We might need some donations to offset it.” Treasurer Mark Minton presented the financial report for June, saying Good Shepherd had a profit of $3,026 with expenses totaling $1,640. That’s in line with the budget, Minton said, and the numbers look good. Good Shepherd’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 22, at the meet and greet room at the shelter.
Curriculum
Everything has to do with technology in this day and age, so it’s critical we are 1:1 on that.” ARC Literacy Labs has a technology component, too. Holt said students will apply their skills using computer programs, teaching students how to use technology as soon as possible. “We aren’t native users, because we weren’t born in that generation,” Holt said. “But our students are, and they don’t relate to material items without that final applica-
tion on computers. They have to have that to hook them. That’s how their brains are working.” Pruitt said he’s excited about the upcoming school year, saying ARC Literacy Labs is worth every penny. “It’s expensive, but can you put a price on education?” Pruitt said. “No, you can’t. If our kids grow and they increase their test scores and it makes them more productive and better citizens, you cannot put a price on that.”

CAPC still considering contributing to visitor’s guide By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission hasn’t made any concrete decisions about working with the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce on the visitor’s guide. On Wednesday, July 25, the commission met with chamber representatives to address a proposed plan where the commission would pay for 58 pages of the 112-page guide. The commission heard a proposal from former chamber COO Paul Miller on June 27 and planned a special meeting for July 19 to consider a contract contributing to the guide, but the meeting was canceled. Miller’s original proposal says the guide would cost the commission $24,568.46, approximately 10 percent of the CAPC’s budget. Interim director Damon Henke said July 25 it could cost much more than that. It costs $2.07 per copy to mail the guide using first-class postage, Henke said, while a bulk mailing would come in at 80 cents per copy. How the commission chooses to mail the guide, he explained, would certainly affect the total cost. Henke said postage could cost around $32,000 or more. “I want to make sure you guys realize you could be on the hook for more like $40,000,” Henke said. The cost of the commission’s additional pages is more than originally estimated, too. Henke said each page of the guide costs $725, making the total cost for 58 pages $42,050. That’s way more than the $21,000 Miller initially proposed, Henke said. CAPC finance director Rick Bright said the commission could do a bulk mailing, which would cut down on the costs significantly. Even then, Henke said, the commission should be prepared to spent
up to $70,000 on the guide between the additional pages and postage. Postage will likely cost more than $20,000, Henke said, for a minimum cost of $62,000. CAPC chairwoman Susan Harman asked director Mike Maloney if it would be better to add 18 pages instead of 58, and Maloney said more pages would make it easier to represent all the tax collectors in Eureka Springs. “We discussed how to bring the book up to a standard to compare to Branson or similar guides,” Maloney said. “It was [Miller’s] estimation it would take an additional 58 pages.” Maloney said he worked with an attorney to draw up a letter of intent for Miller’s proposal before Miller resigned from the chamber, saying the proposal says the CAPC would provide all the pages necessary for the tax collectors. The chamber would be responsible for selling ads for the book, Maloney said, and the selling needs to start soon. “The point was we were trying to expedite at this particular meeting today an opportunity for you to go forward and start selling, because time is of the essence,” Maloney said. “Everybody’s selling their ads right now.” With the commission’s support, Maloney said he’d have the attorney draw up another letter of intent with the new proposal. That means the chamber can start working on the guide, Maloney said, before the commission approves a contract contributing to it. “The letter of intent is an agreement to go forward,” Maloney said. The finalized contract should be available by the beginning of August, Maloney said. The CAPC will consider the contract at its next regular meeting, scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 8, at The Auditorium.
