Quarry concerns Local residents take their case to quorum court
By Scott Loftis
CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
Local residents are angry and frustrated at the possibility of a limestone quarry operating near the Kings River, and they made their feelings clear at Monday night’s meeting of the Carroll County Quorum Court. A standing-room-only crowd jammed into the courtroom of the Carroll County Eastern District Courthouse in Berryville. Seventeen citizens addressed the court during the time reserved for public comments — an unusually high number — and 16 talked about the quarry that they say is already conducting exploratory drilling on a 629-acre tract of land off of Rock House Road. Those citizens expressed their concerns about the potential impact to the environment, including sediment runoff that they believe could have an adverse effect on water quality, as well as noise generated by mining operations, declining property values, damage to roads that weren’t designed to accommodate heavy equipment and other adverse effects. One speaker said she has heard what “sounds like muffled explosions” coming from the site of the potential quarry, and another presented what she said was a core sample that she found while hiking in the area. Another speaker said he was told by a driller that limestone had been found “100 feet down.” At one point, the audience clapped loudly at the conclusion of a speaker’s
remarks and County Judge Sam Barr, who presides over the quorum court meetings, banged his gavel and threatened to have the sheriff remove anyone else who caused a disruption during the meeting. After the public comments were finished, local resident Chris Fischer made a longer presentation on the topic as part of the meeting’s regular agenda. Fischer spoke at the invitation of District 4 Justice of the Peace Marty Johnson. Barr stopped Fischer to tell him he had reached his 10-minute time limit. However, when Barr asked for questions from JPs, District 3 JP Harrie Farrow asked Fischer what other concerns he had on the topic, and Fischer spoke for another 45 seconds. “I would like to know what Legacy Mining has in mind,” he said. “I don’t understand why they haven’t posted any information on their property with contact numbers so that we can communicate with them if we have a problem.” The operation has already been cited with one violation of state law. In a June 5 letter to Scott Moore — who is named as a consultant to Keels Creek Property LLC of Woodstock, Ga. — field inspector Skyler Schlick of the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality’s Office of Water Quality writes that he investigated a complaint regarding the drilling activity on May 29 and observed sediment runoff in an unnamed tributary of Keels Creek from road widening activity on an existing access road.
“This is a violation of the Arkansas Water and Air Pollution Act … which states ‘It shall be unlawful for any person to place or cause to be placed any sewage, industrial waste or other wastes in a location where it is likely to cause pollution of any waters of this state.” Schlick instructs Moore to provide a written response for the violation by Tuesday, June 19.” Carroll County Newspapers, which publishes the Carroll County News and the Lovely County Citizen, obtained a copy of the letter from the ADEQ after filing a request for public records under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act. The request sought all ADEQ records related to Keels Creek LLC, Shady Grove Property LLC and Trigger Gap Property LLC — the three holding companies that own the land where the exploratory drilling is being conducted. Included with Schlick’s letter in ADEQ’s response to the records request was an ADEQ Water Division Complaint Report describing a total of nine complaints received by the agency from May 23 to May 25. In a portion of that document describing the “Investigation and Action Taken,” Schlick writes that he met with Moore on-site, and that Moore was aware of the permits that would be necessary to use the site as a rock quarry. At Monday’s meeting, local resident Lisa Price-Backs was the first speaker to address the quarry issue during public comments, urging the quorum court
to contact state officials and a county land commissioner who she said was appointed in 2012. Later, Price-Backs began to speak from her seat in the audience, prompting Barr to bang his gavel and ask Sheriff Jim Ross to remove Price-Backs from the courtroom. “I will remove myself, thank you,” Price-Backs responded. As she left the courtroom, PriceBacks said: “You can enforce this. The Carroll County Comprehensive Land Plan. The Carroll County Comprehensive Land Plan.” Johnson encouraged residents to write registered letters to executives of the mining company expressing their concerns and later said he would organize a meeting to further discuss the issue. “If nothing else you could slow the process down and grind it to a halt, maybe,” Johnson said. “Maybe not.” Johnson said mining company executives had asked to meet privately with him and Fischer. “The three top dogs wanted to meet with Christopher and I, just the five of us,” he said. “I told Christopher we can’t do it without the press, because they’d be blowing smoke. … They’re going to do what they want to do, they think. But if there’s enough of us making a stink, you know, that’s all you can do.” The next regular meeting of the quorum court is scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday, July 15, in the courtroom of the Carroll County Eastern District Courthouse in Berryville.

Linker arraignment rescheduled By Scott Loftis CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
A Eureka Springs man facing charges of rape and kidnapping appeared briefly in Carroll County Circuit Court on Monday in Berryville. Joseph Linker appeared with his attorney, Tim Parker, before Carroll County Circuit Judge Scott Jackson for an arraignment hearing. Because the Carroll
County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has not yet filed a criminal information document with the court, Jackson rescheduled the arraignment hearing for 9 a.m. Monday, July 15, in Eureka Springs. Linker was arrested on May 24, two days after a Berryville woman sought an order of protection against him. In her petition for the temporary protective order, which Jackson issued the same day,
the woman alleged that Linker held her against her will and raped her more than once on May 14 and May 15. A hearing on a permanent order of protection is scheduled Tuesday afternoon. In addition to rape and kidnapping, Linker also faces charges of terroristic threatening in the first degree and interference with emergency communications.
CAPC narrows executive director candidates down to three By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Tracy Williams is this week’s Citizen of the Week. Williams was nominated by Adrienne Gremillion, who said Williams works tirelessly at the Good Shepherd Humane Society’s thrift shops at both locations sorting, cleaning, preparing and pricing all the linens. She can be found every Saturday pricing, sorting, storing, organization and cleaning parts of the Eureka Springs store. “She has taken it upon herself to hold sort-a-thons at both stores and to keep the storage shed at the Eureka Springs store manageable,” Gremillion said. “On top of her 20-30 hours a week with linens and other duties, Tracy fosters and trains and rehabs dogs that need extra time and attention before they can be adopted.” To nominate somebody for Citizen of the Week, email Samantha Jones at Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com.
The Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission should have a new director soon. At its regular meeting Wednesday, June 12, the commission met in executive session to narrow six candidates down to three. Chairwoman Carol Wright didn’t name the remaining candidates, but she did address the commission’s process to fill the position during the public portion of the meeting. More than 200 candidates were narrowed down to six, Wright said, who were then interviewed through video calls. “Those of us who weren’t able to interview in person in the office have watched the recordings,” Wright said. “We asked everybody the same questions. Then, we let the candidates talk about what they know they could bring to Eureka to help us move forward.” The remaining three candidates will be interviewed again, Wright said, and the commission will keep the public informed every step of the way. Also at the meeting, the commission heard a request from parks director Justin Huss to reimburse what the parks commission has spent to print new trails maps. Huss said the parks commission was asking for $4,228.89 to print the maps, saying the CAPC has funded such requests several times between 2003 and 2016. Huss said he spoke with former
CAPC director Mike Maloney last fall and was assured the commission would help pay to print the maps. “I thought this would be a line item type thing budgeted this year,” Huss said. “That’s a pretty big spend for us. Really, being that the CAPC advertises and promotes the city … this seems right in that wheelhouse.” Huss said the parks commission has proved its worth over the past few years, bringing many people to town to ride the new downhill mountain bike trails at Lake Leatherwood City Park. “The trails are becoming a huge draw for people,” Huss said. “This is something they want to see when they get here.” Commissioner Susan Harman asked if the commission should consider adding a line item to print the maps, and interim director Rick Bright said there are available funds to do so. “We do have other funds for a contingency it could come out of,” Bright said. Wright said she’d like to have a heads up next time, and Huss recalled speaking with Maloney last year about it. “It’s not something [Maloney] conveyed to us,” Wright said. “I think that’s part of the problem here,” said commissioner Bobbi Foster. Commissioner Terry McClung said he’d like to consider creating a line item for those kinds of expenses. “We need to probably just make it a line
item and put maybe $5,000 a year toward brochures and that be it,” McClung said. Harman moved to approve $4,200 for the brochures, and commissioner James DeVito said the commission spends a lot of money advertising city parks as it is. The parks commission should pay for part of the printing costs, DeVito said. “We do a lot of in-kind advertising for parks,” DeVito said. “We pay for your booth rental. We run ads. We pick up the tabs on those. We’re spending a pretty good chunk of change for parks.” Huss said it makes sense for the commissions to work together. “It’s a natural partnership,” Huss said. “Both of us bring people to town with advertising and resources.” Foster agreed. “I think it’s a beautiful publication and I think it’s a no-brainer,” Foster said. “With everything the Walton Family Foundation has done for us, $4,200 is not asking too much.” The commission approved Harman’s motion 5-1, and Wright asked Huss to get a proposal for next year’s printing costs to the commission before the maps are printed. “I would like to entertain the idea that we sit down in the fall to talk about the needs for the coming year,” Huss said. The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 10, at The Auditorium.

Hospital commission considers future of Allegiance By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Allegiance Health Management runs Eureka Springs Hospital, but the Eureka Springs Hospital Commission isn’t sure how much longer that will be true. At a brief meeting Monday night, chairman John House addressed the situation between Allegiance and the hospital in Dardanelle. That hospital has been taken over by Conway Regional Medical Center, House said, removing
the responsibility from Allegiance. “At this point, Allegiance has only one hospital in Arkansas that they are operating,” House said. “My feeling is they’re ready to pull out of Arkansas altogether.” Allegiance CEO Rock Bordelon had planned to attend the meeting, House said, but couldn’t because of inclement weather. “I haven’t talked to Rock myself. I don’t know what his thoughts are,”
House said. If Allegiance does end its lease early, House said, the commission will have some decisions to make. “In order to maintain our critical access … Medicare will assign it so you can just kind of take it over,” House said. “You’re now responsible for any recoupment.” The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, July 15, at the ECHO community room.
ES board approves bid for elementary school remodel By Billy Stidham
Billy.Stidham77@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs School Board voted Monday, June 10, to approve Legacy Construction Management’s bid to remodel the elementary school — with some stipulations. Architect Josh Siebert with Modus Studio approached the board with an update to the bidding process. “We solicited six bidders that were earmarked for the project, we advertised to pretty much the entire state,” Siebert said. “On bid day we had three solid bids that were qualified bids.” Siebert reminded the board that, “sometimes the lowest bid is not always the right bid.” He added that he had worked with the Fayetteville-based construction company in the past. “Legacy and I have done numerous projects together.” he said. “I understand [Legacy’s] qualifications well and they can handle projects of all scales.” Siebert said Legacy’s bid was $452,841. “I think we can get that down to about $400,000,” Siebert said. “There’s some opportunity for us to scale that back if we want to at this time. I would propose going with them with the caveat that we work within a budget that [the board] is comfortable with since this exceeded our pro-
jected $300,000 baseline we initially came to you with if we didn’t do the cafeteria.” He added that, “Now is better than later on cost. Increasingly we’ve seen cost go up over the years way more than we expected.” Board vice president Al Larson moved to accept Legacy as the low-cost bidder with the exception that the project not exceed $410,000. The board approved the motion unanimously. Earlier the board also voted to participate in a program offered by the Arkansas Public Resource Center that will equip teachers with purchasing cards. “Each teacher in grades kindergarten through sixth gets $500 by law,” Superintendent Bryan Pruitt said. “We can give them that purchase card with that amount on it. “We can also select what vendors [are approved], it’s all tracked… it’s just an easier way for us to purchase supplies for our school without issuing numerous checks,” Pruitt continued. “If a teacher goes on a trip we can put funds on their purchase card and pay their hotel and food [costs],” he said. The board also approved meal price increases for next year. According to Pruitt, elementary and middle school student lunches will increase by 10 cents from $2.25 to $2.35,
adult breakfasts will be raised five cents from $2.10 to $2.15, adult lunches will increase from $3.55 to $3.65 and high school lunches will remain at $2.50 across the board. The board also approved student handbook changes, including a dress code amendment that will allow hats inside the building with certain stipulations. Another change is that the semester test exemption policy will be revised to only allow exemptions for the second semester. “I feel like soon the state is going to take away exemptions — I think this is a way to ween the kids off of that,” Pruitt said. The board also approved lowering the cost of student Chromebook insurance from $25 to $15. “In the past we have charged the $25 insurance,” Pruitt said. “Now if they break the screen or tear up the keyboard we will split that cost with them.” The board accepted Karen Johnson’s resignation from the position of elementary library media specialist, and hired Carrie Reece as library media specialist and Kevin Vaverka as a school nurse contingent upon background checks. The board also voted to rehire classified staff for 2019-2020. The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Monday, July 8.

Clear Spring School launches capital campaign for woodshop program
Clear Spring School launched the capital campaign for the Wisdom of the Hands Woodshop Program in the new Phyllis Poe Hands-on Learning Center Friday, June 7, where friends of the school gathered to hear about the exciting new addition. The Phyllis Poe Hands-on Learning Center will house the current Wisdom of the Hands program led by craftsman Doug Stowe in addition to studios in cooking, art, dance, computers and a makerspace. The capital campaign is to help raise money for the renovation of
the new space which includes a larger Wisdom of the Hands Woodshop. Stowe discussed how important it is for children to have a "hands-on, hearts-engaged" education, which is a core element in the school's mission. "The fundraiser was very successful and will help get our dream of a handson learning center moving forward," said board president Peggy Pot. If you would like to help support Clear Spring's vision, contact development director Dawn Ward or office manager Carrie Brooks at 479-253-7888.
I’ve written about the travails of using prescribed/over-the-counter drugs for reducing acid reflux (GERD, heartburn) several times. This group of drugs is very commonly used daily and is in fact one of the biggest selling and profit making pills ever. The group is call proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Specifically, the names Nexium, Prevacid, Prilosec, Protonix, Omeprazole and Aciphex come to mind. All of these reduce the production of stomach acid. If you’re feeling crummy and your doc can’t quite get a finger on the pulse, maybe your ailment is caused by or made worse by drug therapy. I’m repeating myself, I know, but I’m wanting the word to get out on prescribed drug cause nutritional deficiencies. Nutritional deficiencies can be diagnosed as a new ailment contributing to having yet another prescription written. Common sense tells us the more drugs we take and the longer we take them the risk of nutritional deficiency would increase. So far, I’ve discussed the drugs for lowering blood pressure like Lisinopril, statin drugs to reduce cholesterol and Metformin (glucophage) commonly used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In our nutty system which often pits medications/science against nutritional supplements, the bias supporting medicine
A PLACE FOR
LIVING
is usually given top dog status. Dire warnings abound that if you do this drug or that, then Jim Fain these supplements will interfere causing harm. Rarely, is there a balanced approach. Suppose the prescription medication bias with huge amounts of corporate money backing it is entirely backwards? Suppose the prescription drug is actually interfering with the absorption of the nutritional supplement. Suppose, it is well-established that prescribed drugs often and commonly create new ailments by causing vitamin and mineral deficits –– what would you do? Think about this as this is more often the case than we can imagine. Consider the possible impact of the long list of heartburn/GERD drugs above on the reduced absorption of folic acid, B12, beta-carotene, calcium, iron and curiously thyroid hormone levothyroxine and synthroid. Yes, it is true that reducing stomach acid can cause anemia, tiredness, skin troubles, osteoporosis (bone thinning) and then all of the troubles of low thyroid (and there are many of them). All of this can be countered by proper nutritional supplementation. It may be possible to replace the drugs with naturals but the rebound effect is powerful –– this reduces in time.
