Renovation delay Hospital commission asks architects to cease contact with Allegiance By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Over the past year, the Eureka Springs Hospital Commission has worked with Allegiance Health Management and Bates Architects to come up with a plan to renovate the hospital. The commission voted Monday night to put that plan on hold until further notice. Commissioner Barbara Dicks proposed the idea of asking Bates Architects to cease contact with Allegiance, saying she wants to be sure Allegiance is in a good financial state before moving forward. Allegiance has failed to pay rent for months, Dicks said. Chairman Michael Merry said the commission’s attorney sent a letter to Allegiance addressing the late payments, and hospital CEO Vicki Andert said Allegiance received the letter. “We need to make sure they are up and running and paying their bills,” Dicks said. “I have been considering that issue as well,” Merry said. “I think that’s an exceptionally good idea.” “I don’t want to pay [Bates] any more money to go down a rabbit’s hole,” Dicks said. Merry said the architects have done everything
they’ve been asked to do, saying he doesn’t see the point in adding more money to the project quite yet. “Until we’re ready to go further, there’s no reason to put more funds behind it,” Merry said. Dicks moved to ask the architects to avoid meeting with Allegiance until further notice, and the commission agreed to do so. In other business, the commission discussed the possibility of using 24 Norris St. for the hospital. Merry said Mayor Butch Berry recently contacted him asking if the commission would be willing to buy the building. Merry described the history of the building, saying the commission owned it for years and didn’t collect rent from the doctor who resided there. “I think the people involved died and they went away and it was forgotten,” Dicks said. “And Dr. Beard said, ‘Hey, if nobody’s collecting, I’m not going to pay,’ “ said commissioner John House. The Eureka Springs City Council considered using the building for city meetings, Merry said, but the space didn’t make sense for that purpose. “They’ve run across so many difficulties.

There wasn’t an incident Saturday morning at the Berryville Walmart, though with all the law enforcement officers walking the aisles you might think otherwise. It was the annual Shop With a Cop Christmas shopping spree for kids in Carroll County. Officers from across the county helped selected boys and girls shop for Christmas presents. Eureka Springs Police Chief Brian Young looks on as this youngster heads to the extensive toy department.

Cemetery commission DISPATCH Desk pursues purchase of zero-turn mower By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com
The Eureka Springs Cemetery Commission voted Wednesday, Dec. 12, to have cemetery superintendent Pat Lujan research prices for a commercial grade zero-turn mower. Lujan said the cemetery’s current zero-turn mower is down again. “When I came on board, it was in really bad shape,” he said, “so we knew then that eventually we’d have to buy one. We have money set aside for one, and we managed to keep ours alive for two and a half years, which is pretty good.” He said the commission has spent almost $3,000 on maintenance for the zero-turn mower over the past few years. “We’re at the point where we need to replace it,” Lujan said. “There is no point putting more money into it. It has electrical issues, and the motor has oil leaks.” He said the commission has $8,000 set aside in the budget to replace the mower. The commission also voted to approve the purchase of topsoil for $1,800 for Lujan to fill sinking graves. Commission Glenna Booth presented a quarterly report on the $9,999 grant from the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program. Two volunteer cleaning days were held on Sept. 29 and Oct. 27, she said, and 20 volunteers were trained in the proper cleaning methods by conservator Bruce Wright. Booth said work began in the front of the cemetery at the entrance, and the volunteers worked back. She said both sides of the entry road and all of Block 2 have been cleaned for a total of 322 graves cleaned so far. She said Wright has also begun noting the markers which need re-seating and repair and will be starting soon. The total grant expenses so far have been $4,158.22, Booth said, and she is going to request $2,908.22 from the grant administrator for the first payment. She said she took out $1,250 for the ceme-
tery’s cash match. The total in-kind hours for volunteers, Lujan and cemetery sexton Gloria Stevens totaled $1,988.10, Booth said. “Our match can be half cash and half in-kind, so we already got our in-kind hours,” she said. “We only needed $1,250 of that, and we’ve had $1,988.10 so far.” The balance of grant funds is now $7,090.78, Booth said. Commission chairwoman Susan Tharp said the reason there is still a large portion of the grant funding left is because Wright is going to come in and recover several big headstones that are tilting. “He will have to go underneath them, dig it out, fill it with concrete and level everything back out,” Tharp said. “It’s kind of a delicate process. The bulk of the money will go to his labor for that. He’s given us an extremely good rate for his labor.” Booth said the Eureka Springs Preservation Society donated $2,000 for the headstone cleaning project, so she took the equipment expenses out of the donation since the grant cannot pay for those. The equipment expenses totaled $436.70, she said, and the remaining donation balance is $1,563.30. Lujan said they were able to do only two cleaning sessions this year because they started late. “We’re hoping to do a lot more in the spring and summer,” he said. “We’re going to do as many as we can. We’ll keep going until we’re out of cleaner. We have two 55-gallon drums of D2 cleaning solution. The cleaning will go on with or without the grant funding because we already have people trained.” The commission welcomed new commissioner Roderick Beattie, and Tharp announced that another new commissioner, Judy Holden, will be joining in January. The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 9, in the Auditorium.

ESHS receives state awards for test score growth By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Eureka Springs High School is on a path of steady growth, and the state is recognizing it. Principal David Gilmore reported the school has received four awards for growth from the Office for Education Policy at the University of Arkansas. The awards are: Statewide High Overall Growth, Statewide High Math Growth, Statewide High ELA Growth and High Overall Growth. Gilmore said the awards were calculated using the 2018 content growth score, saying the growth scores reflect how much students at the school improved from 2017 compared to how much they were expected to grow considering earlier achievements. “They recognize schools for high growth on the ACT Aspire test, which is something we do here at the district from third grade to 10th grade,” Gilmore said. “It’s an honor for us. It recognizes the hard work being put in by our students and teachers.” Gilmore continued, “I’m the biggest cheerleader for this school. I’m always bragging on our teachers and kids. When we get big awards like this, I want to let everyone know what we’re doing here.” English teachers Shannon Courtney and Kathy Manus said they’ve used several strategies to help students on the test. Courtney said she has been focusing on problem-based learning, where the students ask a question and answer it. “I also try to include visual with the text,” Courtney said. “They can relate to that visual piece. It helps them remember the theme in a text or some sort of connec-
tion to the text.” Manus said she used John Baylor Prep to help her students learn better test-taking strategies. “After getting some feedback from the kids and obviously seeing the test results, I think it really helped,” Manus said. “We took some time out of each one of our classes and worked with a video and had the kids doing some exercise with it. Even now, the kids will come back and say, ‘Hey, we used this particular test-taking strategy.’ “ Manus said she sets aside one class period a week where students study for the ACT Aspire. She’s found ways to make it fun, Manus said. “I break them off into teams. There’s an element of competition,” Manus said. “The kids want to be the team that wins. I think adding that element of competition helps a lot.” Science teacher Shawna Miller said she can’t take too much credit for the growth – it’s only her second year at the school, she said. “The scores were already high before I got here,” Miller said. To help her students do even better, Miller said, she’s been using previous test results to determine which questions were the hardest for students. The science part of the ACT Aspire is a mixture of reading and math, Miller said, and she’s grateful to work with other teachers at the school. “Because our reading scores have been so high, they’ve been doing really good on the science portion of it,” Miller said. “We’ve been working across the disciplines.” Miller said she works with math teach-
May Festival of the Arts seeking events, installations

er Nancy Stainer to analyze previous test results and apply that to the classroom. “We’ve actually discussed where we’re weak, and we both try to hit some of the things the kids didn’t do so well in,” Miller said. “We teach one thing two different ways. We’re fortunate to have such a small school, so we can actually look at the individual students and say, ‘This student isn’t doing so good here,’ and we actually focus on that in class.” It’s very important, Manus said, to work with other teachers. “The English teachers are working with the history teachers,” Manus said. “A lot of the same material is covered in those subjects. If a student didn’t quite catch on to a concept in English, maybe they’ll get it in history. It’s important to open up that line of communication, which I think we’ve done a good job with.” Stainer said she’s helped her students move past test-taking anxiety. “This is really the only totally computerized test they take. It’s really different for them, especially on some of the questions with split screens where they’ve having to scroll up and down,” Stainer said. Looking over some of the most-missed questions, Stainer said, helps the students improve the next time they take the test. “Some of this stuff is from middle school. When you start going over it, they say, ‘Oh, I remember that. I remember that now,’ “ Stainer said. “When they’re on the test, they didn’t remember, so we go over things like that.” She also encourages her students to seek solutions to questions they might not know, Stainer said. “If you don’t know the answer, what are
some things you might try?” Stainer said. “Rather than just clicking on something and going on, make up some numbers. If you see something and they say, ‘Is this always true mathematically?’ make up some numbers, because if it’s always true, it’s going to be true for the numbers you make up.” Miller said test-taking anxiety is a real problem for many students. “We have to challenge them in the classroom, so when they get to something they don’t know, they can handle it,” Miller said. “One of the biggest issues we face is they shut down. They panic. We’re trying to get them to understand there is something in that question they can grasp onto.” Guidance counselor Rachal Hyatt said high test scores mean scholarship money. If a student gets a 19 on the ACT, Hyatt said, they’ll qualify for Academic Challenge money. “It’s scholarships. It’s money. It’s kids going on to their future,” Hyatt said. “That’s a lot of money being passed on to local families.” Gilmore said he’s grateful to work at Eureka Springs High School. “I’m a very fortunate man to be at the school I’m at,” Gilmore said. “We have great teachers and kids here. We want to continue that excellence.” Manus said she’s happy to see the growth over the years. “I’m really excited about it. If we get excited about it, then the kids are going to be excited about it,” Manus said. “It’s contagious. We pass that along to our students. When they see how much we care about it, it becomes important to them.”

CAPC allocates $20,000 for Christmas decorations in 2019 budget By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
If the Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission has anything to say about it, the city will look beautiful every holiday season. The commission agreed on Wednesday, Dec. 12, to allocate $20,000 for Christmas decorations in the 2019 budget. Chairwoman Susan Harman brought the topic to the table, saying it’s important to her for the city to welcome visitors during the holidays. Commissioner Carol Wright said she’s heard a lot of good things about this year’s decorations, and commissioner Greg Moon agreed. “It looks fantastic,” Moon said. “The whole town does.” Wright asked if the commission needed to allocate $20,000 for next year’s decorations, and Harman said that’s how much the commission spent on decorations this year. CAPC director Mike Maloney said Christmas decorations aren’t cheap. “If we’re going to do shooting stars – the things that go across pole to pole – you’re gobbling up $20,000 fast,” Maloney said. Commissioner Terry McClung asked where the decorations would be stored, and Maloney said storage fees can be
part of the $20,000. It costs about $200 a month to store decorations, Maloney said. “The tree has got to be protected, and so do the rest of the decorations,” Maloney said. “We have the ornaments that go on the tree. Those are expensive.” Commissioner Bob Thomas asked why the CAPC is paying for Christmas decorations. “We decided to buy Christmas decorations in an effort to promote the town for Christmas,” Harman said. “In that way, we were able to still do it, because it is a promotion of Eureka Springs. It is an advertising/promotion thing.” “It’s on the Holiday Trail of Lights,” Maloney said. New decorations are important, Harman said, because everything has a shelf life. “The biggest issue right now is everything is old,” Harman said. “We need to start to bolster that.” McClung moved to allocate $20,000 for Christmas decorations in the 2019 budget and the commission agreed to do so. McClung moved on to ask how events coordinator Andy Green is doing with his 2019 budget. Maloney said Green won’t be with the CAPC for much longer. “Andy has not renewed his contract
for 2019,” Maloney said. “He is working through mid-February. He will be in next week. His objective between now and the middle of January is to book every show possible.” Green’s contract ends Feb. 15, Maloney said, and it will be tough to replace him. “This is a difficult thing,” Maloney said. “You have got to know the ropes, and Andy knows the people. He knows the agents.” Finance director Rick Bright said he just got word about another budget adjustment, saying the CAPC’s liability insurance policy is no longer tied to The Auditorium’s liability insurance policy. That’s because the company the CAPC had been working with got bought out, Bright said, and the new company won’t bundle the policies. Bright said the commission will need to budget $2,180 for The Auditorium’s liability policy for 2019. That’s on top of $733 for the CAPC’s liability policy, Bright said, which has already been budgeted. “There were only like four people who wanted to take on The Auditorium,” Bright said. “This is actually less than the liability insurance I have on my B&B. This is a great deal. However, it’s not budgeted.” Bright said the commission didn’t
need to make that budget adjustment immediately. “Since I got this, I wanted to bring it to your attention for 2019,” Bright said. In other business, Maloney said he struck a deal with local photographer Richard Quick to purchase photos for the CAPC’s website. “We’re going to pick up some really nice winter shots,” Maloney said. “We had none. These are great shots with snow in them, and we’ve also got a couple of shots from the Christmas parade a couple weeks ago. Those are extraordinary pictures.” The CAPC will be purchasing up to eight photos every quarter, Maloney said. “What we hope to do is be seasonal with those things,” Maloney said. Harman asked if Quick could team up with the CAPC’s videographer to create promotional videos, and Maloney said there wouldn’t be enough content to do that. “If we have 25-30 photos, I can produce it in about an hour in-house,” Maloney said. “We could do that. [Quick] would allow that, but we’d have to pay a premium. He charges $125 for a shot.” The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 9, at The Auditorium.

I’ve written about whole food choice (vegetables, grains and sugars) and what I would do to nutritionally support myself dayto-day with or without a diagnosis of cancer. Many good food choices help reduce cancer risk, some more than others. Remember, this is only my opinion, but if you know me then you know the suggestions I’ll make about food supplement selection are based upon good science. There is good science and good scientific study on most food supplements. These studies are not about proving food supplements as medicine. Our legal/medical system requires medical trials that cannot be done on a supplement due to legal classification. I use www. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=PubMed to review the university-level study done on food supplements. The following list includes many antioxidants that some people have been told by MDs could reduce the effectiveness of radiation therapy. I’ve seen precious little study that supports this fear and I’ve seen many that conclude antioxidants have no effect on radiation therapy. Sometimes with medical therapy people get very nauseated; these supplements can be put in a smoothie so swallowing pills isn’t necessary. Here
is a short list of food supplements: Immune System Support: usually a Jim Fain mushroom blend added to a vitamin formula; Vitamin D3: 5,000iu/day (with normal kidney function); Modified citrus pectin: Minimum 6,000mg/day; L-glutamine: 20 grams/day, plus or minus; Ascorbyl palmitate: 2,000mg/day, plus or minus; DIM: Minimum 200mg/day; Soy Isoflavones: 4,000mg/day plus or minus; IP-6: Minimum 8,000mg/day; Niacinamide: 3,000mg/day, plus or minus; Policosanol: 20 mg/day; Feverfew extract: Minimum 3,000mg/ day best combined with glutamine; Artichoke extract: Minimum 2,000mg/day, best when combined with glutamine. The amounts on this list come from a prestigious research institute and a self-published paper. This is for educational use only. None, of these should interfere with medical therapy. I wouldn’t take all of these at the same time as some are better than others. But, I would prudently choose from the list.

The Carroll County Quorum Court on Monday night adopted a 2019 county budget that includes an across-the-board raise of 70 cents an hour for all hourly county employees as well as salary adjustments for several clerks who work in county offices. District 1 Justice of the Peace Jack Deaton, chairman of the quorum court’s joint budget and finance committee, presented the proposed budget ordinance and asked his fellow JPs if they would like to have time to review it before voting. The consensus among the other seven JPs in attendance was that they trusted the recommendations of Deaton and the committee. Some of the JPs continued to express frustration with the Carroll County Airport Commission, whose members have openly discussed the possibility of closing the airport and potentially leaving the county lia-
ble to repay federal and state grants received by the airport. Airport commissioners wanted a $60,000 allocation from the county in 2019; the budget and finance committee originally proposed $40,000 but later amended that to $50,000 and forgiveness of $10,000 of an approximately $20,000 debt owed to the county by the airport commission. District 10 JP Larry Swofford said he was disappointed by the airport commission’s tactics and will think long and hard before voting in favor of any more county funds being used to support grant applications by the airport commission. Outgoing District 7 JP Noreen Watson also said she was disappointed by the airport commission, noting that other some other departments’ budget requests also were not fully funded. Also at Monday’s meeting, JPs: • approved a resolution appointing Art
Klass to the Inspiration Point Rural Fire Protection District Commission to serve the remainder of the term of Gene Chapman, who has resigned; and re-appointing Ed Thompson and James Black to three-year terms on the commission; • approved an ordinance setting the county, municipal and school tax millage for 2018; • approved an ordinance approving and levying the voluntary contribution millage for 2018; • approved an appropriation ordinance allowing an employee to receive vacation pay in lieu of taking time off from work; • approved an ordinance creating a catastrophic sick leave bank for county employees. • and approved a resolution re-appointing JoAnn Griesenauer to a three-year term on the Eastern Carroll County Ambulance See Budget, page 11

District Commission. All of the agenda items were approved by votes of 8-0. District 8 JP Don McNeely and District 9 JP Roger Hall were absent, and the District 3 seat is vacant following the resignation of Lamont Richie. Watson, who did not seek re-election in the November general election after serving just one term, spearheaded several projects during her time as a JP. She led the effort to rewrite the county’s employee handbook, was the driving force behind the salary adjustments that she says will bring county employees’ pay more in line with those of similar Arkansas counties, and also developed the proposed ordinance that would create the catastrophic sick leave bank for county employees. During his comments at the end of the meeting, County Judge Sam Barr noted
that a study of county salaries had been proposed before, but would have cost $18,000. He praised Watson for her efforts and research that he said saved the county that amount. During her remarks, Watson explained that she chose not to seek re-election in order to care for her daughter, who is ill. She said that if her daughter’s health improves, she may run again for a seat on the quorum court. Watson also praised former District 3 Justice of the Peace Lamont Richie, who resigned from the court earlier this year, as a mentor and an example of leadership for all the JPs. Also during his remarks, Barr told JPs that the airport commission will meet at noon on Friday, Dec. 21, and he encouraged them to attend if possible. The quorum court will meet on the first Monday of January to set meeting dates and times for 2019.

around. This is [Berry’s] idea, because he believes we should keep it with the hospital and use it at a doctor’s office but the council has directed him to sell it.” House said the building would require some remodeling, and the commission is already working to remodel the hospital. “I would be opposed to just taking money from our account, which technically belongs to the city anyway, to move money for The Auditorium,” House said, “because somehow, they have decided they own a building we already owned and they want to sell it back to us. It doesn’t make sense.” “I think it is more of a problem than it would solve,” Merry said, “particularly when we’ve got other issues at hand.” House said he’d be happy to manage the building but he doesn’t want the commission to pay for it. “If the city wants to let us have it back, we’re happy to take it off their hands,” House said. “But we’re not going to pay the city for it.” House said he didn’t feel the commission needed to take any action on that, and Merry agreed. “We have no specific set of rules to follow here,” Merry said. “It was an idea presented off-the-cuff. We’ve discussed it and I think we’ve decided it’s probably not a wise idea.” The commission moved on to elect House chairman for 2019. Merry said he’d stay on the commission as long as the commissioners need him there. The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 21, at the ECHO Community Room.

everything has to be filmed and the angle of that lens would have to be so wide to accommodate the people in the small room,” Merry said, “a new lens for their camera would probably cost as much as remodeling.” Berry asked Allegiance if they’d be willing to pay a monthly rent to use the building, Merry said. Andert said the city proposed $2,000 per month, saying Allegiance proposed $1,600 and then the city moved on to other options. “The next thing they were talking about was they were thinking about selling,” Andert said. Merry said the building was appraised, coming in at $114,000. Berry asked if the commission would be open to purchasing the building. “They would like the hospital commission to buy the property and manage it,” Merry said. “It would still belong to the city regardless. They’d just get $114,000 out of it.” House said he can’t get behind that idea. “It’s weird that the city is trying to charge us for a building when we’re part of the city, and, frankly, that building was originally built to go with the hospital,” House said. “Why wasn’t it part of the whole thing to begin with? They didn’t sell us the hospital building.” Dicks said the city council asked Berry to sell the building, and that’s what he’s doing. “They’re looking for money to put in The Auditorium for their meetings,” Dicks said. “That’s how it all came
