Council revokes decision to move city meetings to community center By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
It looks as if the Eureka Springs City Council won’t be moving its meetings to the Eureka Springs Community Center after all. On Monday night, the council heard from Mayor Butch Berry about the proposed lease agreement between the city and the Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation. The council voted Nov. 13 to move all city meetings to the community center, located at the old high school site at 44 Kingshighway. Berry said Monday night the lease agreement was between lawyers. Alderman David Mitchell moved to suspend all engagement with the foundation until the city could conduct an in-depth due diligence on the foundation’s articles of incorporation, lease with the school district and financial information regarding all income sources and detailed expenses. “Why?” alderman Terry McClung asked. “What’s your fear?” “I don’t have a fear,” Mitchell said. “What I have is any time I’ve ever conducted business with a private entity, I’ve always done a due diligence assessment of everything about that entity. I think the city should do an extreme due diligence of what is going on as far as the community center foundation, from its inception to its finances, and we should have a legal review. It’s not fear. It’s just good business.” Alderwoman Melissa Greene agreed, saying she’s heard concerns from constituents about the foundation’s finances. “I feel like David is … what he made is a prudent suggestion,” Greene said. McClung said he liked the foundation’s
proposal. It’s not a long-term deal, McClung said, but it doesn’t have to be. “They offered us a pretty good deal on the front end,” McClung said. “I’m good with it. It’s that easy.” Mitchell said other options, like the building on Norris Street or the fire station downtown, wouldn’t cost the city anything in rent because the city owns those structures. “I’m going to stress the point that entering a negotiation with the foundation, putting in money, leases and moving to something we don’t own and have to share when we’re sitting here in a building we own with minimal expenses and everything … I think should be considered very well,” Mitchell said. “I don’t think we should enter a negotiation with an entity that we really, truthfully don’t know that it is a viable entity.” He continued, “There’s a lot of unknown and I feel we should step back and suspend our action at this point in time until we have done a complete due diligence of that organization.”’ Alderman Bob Thomas agreed and moved to amend Mitchell’s motion to revoke the council’s Nov. 13 vote to move to the community center. The council voted, with Kendrick, Thomas, Mitchell and Green voting in favor of it and McClung voting against it. McClung asked if the council would vote to revoke the vote, saying that was just an amendment to Mitchell’s motion. “That didn’t finalize anything, I don’t think,” McClung said. Kendrick suggested that Mitchell withdraw his motion, and Berry said the council already voted on the motion by voting
for the amendment. McClung said that vote was on the amendment to Mitchell’s motion, not the motion itself. “How about we get a motion not to move to the community center?” Berry said. “I make a motion that we revoke our vote in …” Kendrick said. “No, no, that’s done,” city clerk Ann Armstrong said. “OK, I make a motion that at this point in time we do not pursue a lease with the Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation,” Kendrick said. Mitchell said he wanted to be sure the council was voting on the motion correctly. “The only question that’s left is what happens to my original motion that we never voted on,” Mitchell said. “So why can’t I just withdraw it and the second and it’s OK?” “Because you don’t need to,” Armstrong said. “Why wouldn’t he?” McClung said. “Because what we did on Bob’s deal was an amendment to the motion.” By approving the amendment, Kendrick said, the council approved the amended motion. Berry agreed. “That’s not what was stated,” McClung said. “That’s what you stated now, but that’s not the way it was presented.” The council agreed to vote on Mitchell’s amended motion, with Mitchell, Kendrick, Greene and Thomas voting in favor of it and McClung voting against it. On Tuesday afternoon, Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation chairwoman Diane Murphy said the foundation is frustrated with the council’s decision.
“We are extremely disappointed in the city council, their lack of communication with the board and their seeming disregard for all of the constituents that want access to the meetings, that have spoken in favor of moving them to the community center and that have financially supported the community center,” Murphy said. The foundation has had more than 500 donors, Murphy said, including individuals and businesses in Eureka Springs. “All of them have donated because the concept of a community and the community center matters to them,” Murphy said. “We’ll move forward. There’s no decisions we have made that are dependent on the city council, so we continue with what we’re doing.” The community meeting room is in the process of being renovated, Murphy said, and should be completed and ready for use by March. Also at the meeting, the council voted to discontinue showing the council meetings on Youtube. McClung said it cost too much to edit closed captioning on the videos. “The time and expense of sitting down and transcribing for the closed captioning … it’s just an expensive process,” McClung said. The council also approved a resolution adopting the city’s budget for 2018 and agreed to draw up an ordinance detailing the water and sewer bond payment schedule. The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 22, at The Auditorium.
Operation Food for Hungry Kids receives $10,000 grant
Loaves and Fishes Food Bank is the recipient of a $10,000 grant from the Blue & You Foundation for Healthier Arkansas to support its Operation Food for Hungry Kids Program. Dale Hunter, executive director of the program, said the program is in its fifth year of operation. Since the program’s inception, Hunt-
er said, more than 17,000 weekend food packs have been distributed to hungry school children in Berryville and Green Forest Schools. Hunter said that while the community continues to be generous both financially and in giving volunteer time, it is the financial boost the program receives from grants that allows the food bank to put a
nutritious mix of foods in the weekend bags. “We have been very successful in applying for grants to support this program on the basis of the nutrition we are offering,” Hunter said. “A number of our grantors have told us that we received our grants because we have stepped up in a way that not only ad-
dresses hunger but the very real need these children have for a nutritionally balanced diet. This is also the feedback we have received from the Blue & You Foundation.” Loaves & Fishes Food Bank is located at 489 Bunch Springs Road in Berryville. It’s open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday.

The Eureka Springs City Council has a new person at the table. On Monday night, the council voted to appoint Melissa Greene to the open Ward 2 position. The position was previously held by Peg Adamson, who announced Nov. 13 she would be resigning from the position as of midnight Dec. 31. Adamson served on the council for nearly a year before resigning her post. Alderwoman Kristi Kendrick moved to accept Adamson’s resignation Monday night, and the council unanimously agreed. Kendrick then moved to elect a new person to the position. Alderwoman Mickey Schneider said the council would have to figure out a few details before doing that. “We need to know who’s running, something about them and/or their background,” Schneider said. “We have to decide if we’re going to vote by ballot, by voice, by paper … however. We’ve got a lot of decisions to make before we decide.” “I don’t see why we can’t do that right now,” Kendrick said. “We can do it tonight,” Schneider said. The council agreed to appoint someone to the position, and alderman David Mitch-
ell said city clerk Ann Armstrong had drawn up a ballot including the names of everyone interested in it. The names on the ballot, Armstrong said, were Greg Moon, Pat Matsukis, James DeVito, Taylor Weaver and Greene. Greene Mitchell asked if the council members would need to sign their ballots after voting, and mayor Butch Berry said they would. “No, we don’t,” Schneider said. “We went through this before,” Berry said. “According to the Municipal League, it has to be signed.” Mitchell moved to follow the Arkansas Municipal League’s regulations and sign the ballots. Schneider said she didn’t want to do that. “I don’t care what the Municipal League has decided on their own. They are not an election commission, federal or state level,” Schneider said. “They do not understand that a written ballot vote is private. This is illegal.”
She continued, “This is against American rights from the very beginning of this country. If you’re too chicken to stand up to the Municipal League or this sate, you should, because this is illegal.” “We went through this the last time,” Berry said. “There’s a motion on the floor.” “If you’re going to sign it, I’m out of here, because, I’m sorry, I refuse to break the law,” Schneider said. Schneider left the meeting, and the council agreed to vote using the ballots. Greene received three votes, with Weaver receiving one. Kendrick moved to take a five-minute recess to allow Berry to swear Greene into office, and the council agreed to do so. After she was sworn in, Greene said she was grateful to the council for appointing her to the position and excited to serve the citizens of Eureka Springs. She resigned from the Eureka Springs Planning Commission and the Eureka Springs Historic District Commission at the end of the meeting but said she’d step in again if the planning commission needed help meeting a quorum. The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 22, at The Auditorium.

ES board votes to approve Master Facilities Plan By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com
The Eureka Springs School District is building a solid future for its students. The Eureka Springs School Board voted at its Monday meeting to approve the Master Facilities Plan for 2018. Facilities director Mike Dwyer presented the narrative summary to the board, discussing future projects, current projects and completed projects. For completed projects, he said the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system installation in the middle school gym was finished in November, and the contractors will return this spring to test it. For current projects, Dwyer said the district is nearing completion on the high school greenhouse. For future projects, he said he and Superintendent Bryan Pruitt have discussed the needs for a secure location for the district’s bus fleet and for an isolated building for the preschool program. “We’re attempting to open up more space in our elementary as we expand and we grow,” Dwyer said, “and those are two classrooms that are available.”
The district is currently unable to fence off the bus shop, he said, because it would interrupt traffic flow, leaving the shop open to vandalism and other problems. Pruitt said they have talked about possibly buying additional property in the future, moving the bus facility off campus and converting the current bus shop into a preschool building. “We would then be directing our traffic to come out around through there,” he said, “and get everybody off the street. It’s one of the things we’re looking at for our master plan for the future.” Also at the meeting, the board voted to expel a high school student for the remainder of the 2018 spring semester for making threats to a staff member. Board member Tina Johnson asked how the student was going to continue their education. Pruitt said school administrators had advised the family on how to sign the student up for virtual school. “We will do all we can to help them,” he said. “However, we cannot tolerate threats made to staff members.” Board member Jason Morris asked if
law enforcement was notified. High school principal David Gilmore said he had notified local police. He said the district chose not to press charges against the student. Pruitt updated the board on the Connect 4 program, saying the C4 board has hired James Knight of Harrison as director of the program. “I think we hired a good guy who fits on board with the program,” Pruitt said. “As far as the C4 building, it should be ready to go in the fall. I think we were told it would be completed in mid-May.” He also recognized board member Debbie Davis with the Master Board Member Award for completing more than 50 hours of training. The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 12, in the Administration Building.

County experiences uptick in illnesses By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com
Winter is a season for holidays and spending time with family, but it can also be a season of sickness. Jim Fain, Ph.D., founder of Fain’s Herbacy in Eureka Springs, said the healthcare industry has seen an uptick in illnesses this winter. At the herbacy, he said he and his staff have seen ailments ranging from upper respiratory infections to influenza. “It’s a very long list of symptoms people have come in with,” Fain said. “We’ve seen a lot of upper respiratory irritations from dry air and indoor irritants, such as dust mites and pollen, because it’s been so dry. We’ve also seen all the way to fullblown flu, which includes fever and all the ugly symptoms that go with it.” There are many reasons this winter has been hard on people’s health, he said. “One reason is that we’ve had dry weather for a longer period of time, and we’ve had more winds,” Fain said. “That pushes up pollen that had settled to the ground. Some of the cedar trees are actually pollinating a little early this year, too, so we have more allergies.” Winter is also a time of year when people attend more social events and spend a lot of time indoors, he said, which helps colds and other illnesses spread. “This is the time of the year for colds, and many people are probably not washing their hands enough,” he said, “and eating foods they’re not accustomed to or eating more than they’re accustomed to. That causes stress on the body.”
Inadequate sleep and increased tensions and stress around the holidays also leave people more susceptible to illness, Fain said, because these stressors suppress the body’s immune response. “Pressured contact with a lot of people for holiday events can lead to stress,” he said, “and the opposite is also true. Not being involved in an event and feeling isolated can also lead to stress. It can go in either direction.” Another reason for the uptick in illness this winter, he said, was the failure of this year’s flu vaccine. “The strains that were covered by the flu vaccine were mathematically predicted to occur,” Fain said. “The one that showed up was Mother Nature fooling us. It came up from Central and South America and over into Florida and up that way.” He continued, “It wasn’t an eastern strain at all. It came from a different direction, and we weren’t prepared. They do mathematic modeling to decide which flu strains to vaccinate for. This one wasn’t high on the list, so it wasn’t taken into consideration.” Fain said good sleep, good food and lots of hand washing are the best ways to prevent illness this winter. He said his herbacy provides scientifically supported health supplements, combining the best of the old ways of treating illness with the support of modern science. “Natural products work quite well if you start early,” Fain said, “and know what to use and how much to use. We use information to help people sort through
products and often recommend against products as often as we recommend them.” He continued, “If there’s a medical overlay, I’ll say ‘This could be going on. I recommend you talk to your doctor about it, and, in the meantime, consider these supplements,’ because it can take a while to get in to see your doctor.” For winter ailments such as the cold, flu and allergies, Fain said the best supplements would be Vitamin D, probiotics and plenty of Vitamin C. “People can also Photo by Tavi Ellis take an immune If you’re in need of herbal supplements and wellness advice, Jim booster if they beFain, Ph.D., and Mary Nell Doss can be found at 99 Spring St., lieve they need it,” next to the Post Office. he said.

Red Kettle Ministries surpasses last year’s fundraiser The Carroll County Salvation Army Red Kettle Ministries led by Pastor Dr. Jeffrey T. Timm of Holiday Island Community Church raised $6,189,87 to help the people of Carroll County over the holidays. The fundraiser exceeded last year’s event by more than $1,000, with $1,542.70 being collected from the Murder Mystery play at Holiday Island Community Church.
The Red Kettle Collection was done with the help of Holiday Island Baptist Church, Holiday Island Community Church, Holiday Island Presbyterian Church, Faith Bible Church, Holiday Island Elks, Holiday Island Rotary Club, Eureka Springs First United Methodist Church and Eureka Springs Presbyterian Church. All the funds will stay in Carroll County to help the needy. Last year, Red Kettle Ministries collect-
ed more in their kettles than anyone else in the area, receiving the Top Fundraising 2016 award at the Salvation Army’s appreciation banquet. Timm expanded the efforts to Eureka Springs this year after working with six Holiday Island organizations last year. With all tlhe proceeds from this year’s fundraiser staying in Carroll County, Timm said, the needy will have a helping hand in 2018.

C4 board hires director
By Kelby Newcomb
CCNNews@cox-internet.com
The Connect 4 Board has hired James Knight as the C4 director. The board voted to hire Knight at its Wednesday meeting at the Tyson Foods plant in Green Forest after interviewing the five strongest applicants for the position in December. Knight currently lives in Harrison, where he has worked as an instructor at North Arkansas College. Berryville Superintendent Owen Powell said Knight’s tentative start date will be next Monday, Jan. 8. “Berryville schools will make a contract,” Powell said, “and, as previously voted on and discussed, we’ll take the three high school principal salaries and average those for the salary.” Since the Carroll County Career Center in Berryville, which will house the Connect 4 program, is not ready, Powell offered to house Knight on the Berryville School District’s campus for the time being. Board president Rodney Ellis said he believed it would be a good idea to send Knight to the Career Academy of Siloam Springs (CASS) for some training after he gets established in Berryville. Mike Rogers, the instructor of CASS, was hired by Tyson Foods as a consultant to draft a business plan for the Connect 4 program, which has been modeled after CASS’s approach to fitting several skill trades under one umbrella.
“As far as training goes, I talked to Mike, and we thought it would be a good idea to have James spend about two weeks over at CASS in Siloam Springs by the end of January or the first of February,” Ellis said. He said he had already cleared the training proposal with principal Jason Jones of Siloam Springs High School. “That will get him back immersed in the NCCER [National Center for Construction Education and Research] side of it,” Ellis said. “There’s a guy over there teaching who’s really good on the electrical side, and James can help them on the machining and welding side. It will be good for both programs.” He said he had also talked to representatives from Kennametal, Inc. in Rogers, one of the tooling providers for Connect 4, about a free training program the company will hold in Little Rock around February. He said it would also be good to have Knight visit Berryville, Eureka Springs and Green Forest high schools to present the program to eligible students. Green Forest Superintendent Matt Summers recommended the presentations be held soon since the C4 program will take place in the afternoon. As a result, he said, interested students will need to make sure they can still fit their core classes into their schedules. “I think the sooner the better,”
LAST WEEK’S QUESTION
Summers said. “Green Forest’s athletic period is the first of the day. Students will have to take one of their core classes online, so they need to know how they’re going to do that.” Also at the meeting, Powell asked Summers and Eureka Springs Superintendent Bryan Pruitt how their districts wanted to handle reimbursements to the Berryville School District since the director and secretary positions will be included on Berryville’s salary schedule. Summers said the Green Forest School District has two memorandums of understanding (MOU) with the city of Green Forest for its two school resource officers. “We pay monthly, and we also cover expenses like cell phones and different stuff,” he said. Powell said they would set it up as a monthly payment. Board member Bud Phillips asked if the salary reimbursement would be a fixed rate per month and a separate method of reimbursement would be established for travel expenses and other items. “Salary, benefits, retirement and all that will be in one,” Powell said, “and anything where he’s doing professional development, travel and meal reimbursements will be in another. We’ll do two separate things.” The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for noon Wednesday, Feb. 7, in Berryville.

Entering town on 23 North, it is the first road that greets you. This street is known to many as Main Street, but in early days it was called Mud Street.The name was given to the street because of the muddy conditions created by the runoff of both mountains and overflow from the bordering creek. When the water was high, these conditions created rough terrain. Within six months of the first settlement, the population of Eureka Springs exploded to a reported 3,000 residents. By 1886, there were 5,000 people living here, more than double the current population. The town had boomed virtually overnight. Today, almost all of the original buildings still stand, but their function has changed dramatically. These great pieces of architecture are now occupied by fine eateries, hotels and specialty shops. There lies a big piece of history on this beautiful, bumpy road — a history that is deservedly restored and preserved by people who had and currently have a vision. — Stephanie Stodden, Museum Operations Manager

Watch your weight
We are well into our biologic winter mode. Mother Nature has given us an automatic way Jim Fain of protecting ourselves during winter and difficult times: we put on extra weight. We don’t need it. Weight loss (and gain) is based upon many ingrained characteristics. We all have a base metabolic rate, which is different from anyone else. Some folks have an engine that constantly revs high while others barely putter along. Our age has to do with fat stores, as does whether we are male or female. The effect of the hormones produced by the thyroid gland can make the difference between being skinny as a rail, or no matter how hard you try, weight just won’t come off. Therefore an all-natural thyroid support product can do wonders. Medicines can cause weight gain so if you can shift to a natural supplement then do so. If you reach for a can of Betty Crocker frosting when you get emotionally upset (comfort food) that can make you a two-ton Tessie/Tom too. Perhaps using CBD or L-5HTP help with nervousness or mood is in order. To make it all the more frustrating we all have “set points,” which the body comes to and then stubbornly refuses to budge down. That’s when doing a natural cleanse can be good. Most people aren’t overweight, they are overfat. A football player can be overweight even without much fat. A guy needs at least 4 to 6 percent body fat to stay healthy while a woman needs at least 10 to 14 percent. So now we talk about muscle mass. Muscle weighs more than fat. So someone who is well-muscled, like the football player, could be overweight according to height/weight/age/gender scales. Body mass indexing is a good way to measure progress while the bathroom scale isn’t. Weight loss is complicated. Your weight shouldn’t be based upon pictures in magazines or societal pressure but upon your acceptance of yourself and how you want to be. Bottom line is you have to burn more than you take in. Find a food plan you can get into and stick with, one that won’t make you feel deprived. I like the South Beach or Mediterranean food plans. Exercise at least three times a week; aerobics is best for weight loss. Use supplements in combination like Garcinia cambogia and chromium picolinate and trust the many herbals that help with insulin levels.
