he Arkansas Times’ annual Natives Guide is a compendium of identifying facts about who we are, based on what we do. We like to eat; the Natives Guide shows us to be a people who like a lot of Mexican food, hamburgers and pizza. We like to dance; this year’s edition reveals where to find the salsa (etc.) beat.

We like museums; fortunately, we have a nice big arts center and lots of galleries and history museums and a science museum.

What else have we got? We have dog-friendly restaurants, just like Paree. We have festivals, for publicly sanctioned merrymaking. We have big houses and, because we’re a nosy bunch, we have a list here of the other half’s real estate transactions.

But what are we missing? Why don’t we have some of the great attractions that other fine metropolises have? What should we bring here? We’ve come up with lots of suggestions here in this year’s Natives Guide, some of them with your help. Read on, and picture how we’d Make Greater Little Rock Greater Again!

Sunday liquor sales, and hard liquor sales in grocery stores

Readers, we’re grown-ups, and the Constitution of the United States says the state is not supposed to be in the business of passing or enforcing laws based on mortal man’s grasp of the will of Big G and Baby J.C. Liquor stores shuttered on Sunday are a given in Arkansas, but if you’ve rattled around America a bit, you know it’s not that way everywhere else by a long shot. Back when I lived in Iowa years ago, not only could you buy liquor on Sunday, you could buy the hard stuff in the local grocery store. As shocking as it was to an Arkansas boy, the Hy-Vee Supermarket in Iowa City had a liquor aisle, complete with store-brand vodka, rum, whiskey and tequila. And for the life of us, we don’t remember the Hawkeye State being a hive of sin and drunken debauchery. Even if we don’t go so far as selling booze one aisle over from the peanut butter and white bread (would morality ever recover from Kroger brand gin?), the time has long since come to get off our religious-based high horse and start selling hooch on the Lord’s Day. It’s 2016, for chris’sakes.

a case of expensive apples to horrendously expensive oranges, this is our one shot to point out what we love in other places that Arkansas is missing, so we’re going to go for broke. Yes, we know there’s a small attraction that bills itself as an aquarium in Hot Springs, but we’re thinking a little bigger than that. Then again, we’re not wishing for the Monterey Bay Aquarium here. Just a few tanks where we can see a hammerhead shark and maybe some dazzling sprays of glimmering ocean fish without having to drive six to 10 hours to get there. Is that so much to ask in exchange for our tax dollars?

Probably. But we’d like it anyway.

Work on that, city of Little Rock.

Heavy equipment playground

bined know-how to fix everything from coffee makers to ripped clothes, laptop computers and bicycles. Some of these groups have even started using 360-degree scanners and 3D printers to replace broken or missing parts that have put items out of commission.

In the process, they’re not only helping their fellow citizens save money, but helping the world conserve precious resources and landfill space.

Something like this could easily be a regular event at North Little Rock’s Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub, which already has the tools, knowledge and 3D printers to make a meeting of handy, geeky stuff-savers happen. Hop to it, Hubsters!

with the tourists looking for some spice in their lives.

After all, who needs quaint decor and romance when you can have wholesale debauchery?

Just remember to bring your own sheets.

While we all may, eventually, become too old to go play in the sandbox, the simple joy of digging in the dirt never quite leaves many of us. If you’re one of those folks who have ever looked upon the might of a full-grown bulldozer, excavator or other earthmover and been instantly transported back to your childhood imagining’s of mountains falling before your Tonka toys, then a heavy equipment playground might be right up your alley. Basically, it’s a big ol’ patch of dirt where, for a fee, regular folks can climb behind the stick of earth-moving machinery usually reserved for trained professionals. While this might seem like an idea crazy enough to get a person killed, there actually is such a playground in Las Vegas, where — after a bit of mandatory training — novices can operate everything from 10-ton bulldozers to mini excavators. Looks like a hell of a good time.

Repair cafes

We Americans live in a disposable culture, constantly ready to toss out our consumer goods and small appliances at the first rip, spark or sputter. Leave it to the Europeans to lead the way to a more sustainable future with “repair cafes”: regular meetings in which citizens meet up to share tools and com-

An “erotic” bed and breakfast

If there’s one thing we’ve noticed in our travels around Arkansas, it’s that the hotels and finer motels in this state are pretty much devoid of solidly anchored points with which to truss up a gimpsuited partner while getting le freak on. But never fear, Christian Grey! All that means is that the market is wide open and positively aching for a decidedly non-vanilla entrepreneur to forcefully enter the exciting, fastpaced world of erotic inn keeping.

Eureka Springs, for example, seems to be crying out in mixed agony and ecstasy for a well-appointed Victorian sin den full of themed rooms for every taste. Something tells us a joint like that would be a big hit

An aquarium

The Little Rock Zoo has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, but missing from its mix, it occurs to us, is an aquarium. While keeping a rhinoceros or lion alive and happy versus keeping a giant stingray or sea turtle alive and happy is likely

Tiny house communities for the homeless

The tiny house movement has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, with many Americans loving life in 500 square feet or less.

But the diminutive homes are not just a way for the well-heeled to make their lives feel more sustainable. The cheaper construction cost, small footprint and low heating and cooling expense of tiny homes also make them an ideal solution for the problem of homelessness.

Communities across the nation are experimenting with compact villages of tiny houses for the homeless, including Cass Community Homes in Detroit, which is currently building 25 houses, each between 250 and 400 square feet, with very cheap or entirely subsidized rent. Anyone who lives in a Cass home for seven years will be given the opportunity to buy it. While a 250-square-foot house isn’t ideal for most people, it’s much preferable to life on the streets, and a similar project is a arktimes.com DECEMBER 29, 2016

More swinging, part 2

Let’s turn Pinnacle Mountain State Park into a nude park, so folks could canoe, climb, picnic and swim in the Maumelle River in the buff!

OK, maybe not Pinnacle, but why not set aside some land somewhere?

There’s a time and place for everything, so a clothing-optional natural area would not only provide a place for free-thinkers and free-etc. to let it all hang out and enjoy the sensations of nature the way our homo erectus ancestors did, but it would mean those who like to dip with their knickers on wouldn’t accidentally bump into a guy going commando at the creek. It would be well marked, to keep the Duggar family and other body-ashamed folks out.

FOR ALL YOUR ANGERS. A smash shack

Instead of counting to 10 and taking deep breaths, it would be nice to go somewhere to lose your cool and break everything in sight.

Road rage? Grab a baseball bat and go smash some old computer screens and break bottles against the wall. Yesterday, this writer spent an hour in line at a bank just to find out it was the wrong one.

Where is the smash shack in Little Rock?

than human sniffers. You don’t find a lot of art at the dog park or state parks. So we suggest a dog art gallery, one we’d model after British designer Dominic Wilcox’s. He created an exhibit that included scents of raw meat and old shoes, a 10-foot-wide dog bowl filled with balls, paintings of things dogs like in the dog’s spectrum of color. We don’t know what Fido’s spectrum is, but we can ask around.

We’d change up exhibits of course, maybe even share with Crystal Bridges. Like all public places, this might also be a good dating spot and supply future puppies. Guaranteed tail-wagging fun for all.

When we put out a callingall-cars on Facebook for things Arkansas was lacking, among those making the many, many solid suggestions we got (including one wiseacre’s quip of: “a clue”) were two people who spoke up for authentic Mexican breakfast foods.

We haven’t surveyed the a.m. offerings at all the taco trucks docked in Southwest Little Rock, but we’re going to include this one even if Mexibreakfast is lurking out there somewhere. The poet Justin Booth, who recently relocated to Austin, Texas, cheered the loudest for morning taco authenticity.

Rather than try to reinvent the tortilla, we’ll just drop in the description he gave when we asked what the hell was so good about it. Says Senor Booth: “A breakfast burrito from Sonic ain’t it. In Austin, the trucks have bacon and bean tacos on real corn tortillas, or potato and egg. There are a dozen variations, each terribly simple but extraordinarily wonderful — the simplicity of something done over and over, like a gourmet or a geisha might understand. Two dollars for a peek at heaven.” Uhhhh … sold, sir.

beginners might flip into the net.

Pros might head to the next trapeze.

With the greatest of ease, we can see a trapeze school in Riverfront Park.

More swinging

Little Rock residents could find their inner ape — or overcome a fear of flying — with a flying trapeze school. You’ve seen them in New York, L.A. and Sarasota, Fla.; why not Little Rock? You get to jump off a platform (in New York, it’s 23 feet above the net) and just sail away. Safety lines are involved so you do not die, necessarily. When your momentum slows, you just fall into the net. Folks who aren’t

Hangover helpers

You had a party. You woke up feeling like hell. Then you walk in your living room and see the destruction you and your fellow degenerates caused the night before. Who you gonna call? A genius group of millennials from Australia came up with the answer: “Hangover Helpers,” an emergency cleanup group that comes to clean up after your party and also brings you breakfast!

Grab your burrito and go back to bed while they deal with your mess.

Dog sledding

It so happens that dog sledding is not exclusively a winter adventure. The Natural State already has the beautiful scenery, now where are the sledding dogs? As long as

you have wheels on your sleigh, or whatever, sled dogs will pull you on grassy trails. They do it in New Hampshire in the summer; why not Two Rivers Park in spring?

Cat bar

We’ve got our share of dogfriendly places, as this issue describes in detail, but Little Rock is sorely missing a decent cat bar.

Imagine you’re a young professional who’s received job offers in Little Rock, Austin, Seattle and San Francisco. One of the first questions you’re going to ask is, very likely, “Do each of these cities have a place where I can take my cat, turn her loose and have an overpriced drink with other young professional cat owners?” We’re not sure about Austin, Seattle or San Francisco, but we know Little Rock’s answer: No. And as Richard Florida detailed in his latest book “Stroking the Creative Class: Cat Bars, Gentrification and the American Urban,” a city that doesn’t cater to the upwardly mobile pet fancier is a city that has virtually signed its own death warrant.

GU I GU I GU I GU I GU I G doesn’t mean we need more of the ultra-wealthy, just that the ones that we have should be stepping up their game in terms of embarrassing public antics and Caligulan excess: hulking pleasure barges clogging the Arkansas River, goldplated Rolls Royces racing drunkenly down Broadway, Bacchanalian parades in which barely dressed courtesans empty massive wicker baskets of twenties into the grasping hands of the desperate masses.

That kind of thing. Our rich people engage in shadowy campaigns for sinister ends, yes, but they’re all boring sinister ends, like undermining the foundations of public education and increasing the capital gains tax exemption. Where’s the decadence?

Where’s the depravity? Where’s the fleet of dirigibles, each sporting a 30-foot portrait of a Walton heir, floating in slow revolutions above downtown for perpetuity?

Perhaps the super-rich keep their indulgences discreet because they fear public disgrace, but this is the wrong attitude: As Nov. 8 proved, Americans are charmed and flattered by lewd, preening billionaires, and the wealthy in Arkansas are doing themselves a disservice by not leveraging their immense fortunes into bloated celebrity. Yes, the Stephenses have their name on a building, but even the font is boring.

Give us some flashing lights, some huge gouts of flame, some animatronics. That we’re coasting into a new Gilded Age is obvious from the past 40 years of income inequality data; the truly sad part is just how drab most of our oligarchs are going to be.

Though it presents a monumental business opportunity for some Little Rock entrepreneur — Scott McGehee, are you listening? — getting a cat bar off the ground would take careful planning. Exits would need to be carefully sealed to prevent unwanted escapes. (We once visited an indoor butterfly garden at the Audubon insectarium in New Orleans that had a sort of dual-door airlock system, and cats aren’t that much different from butterflies.) The walls would need to be carpeted. An insurance policy that covers toxoplasmosis claims would be essential.

The kitchen would feature a variety of pates and terrines, as well as quail and other very small game birds.

There’d be beer, but also a full menu of cocktails with an emphasis on milk- and cream-based libations — White Russians, syllabub, etc. — and with all manner of hilarious names.

And, of course, in the center of this stylish-yet-cozy space, recessed into the gleaming hardwood floor, there would be a sandy expanse of litter, strewn tastefully with large rocks and raked to mimic the soothing curves of a Zen garden.

FOOD TRUCK FESTIVAL

Little Rock’s Main Street Oct. 7 With the likes of Alaskan dumplings, aloo dum and more barbecue than you can shake a plastic fork at, we’re just a Korean taco truck away from reaching food truck nirvana. We’ve got purveyors of just about every sort of deliciousness serving food from trucks, and nearly all of them will be at this annual downtown Main Street festival.

HILLCREST HARVESTFEST October Even for those of us who don’t live in Hillcrest — who watch the neighborhood from a distance with a mixture of envy and suspicion — HarvestFest on Kavanaugh Boulevard stands as one of the year’s most fun and purely gratifying afternoons, a genuinely great neighborhood street festival.

WORLD CHEESE DIP CHAMPIONSHIP Fall Some claim cheese dip was invented here. Regardless, Arkansans eat it by the bucketful and love to debate the finer points of the stuff. Here’s a chance to do both.

6TH ANNUAL CORNBREAD FESTIVAL SoMa Fall Cornbread may not have been invented here, but it’s certainly been perfected here. Competing cornbread cooks join arts and crafts vendors to bring out the masses to several blocks of Main Street south of Interstate 630.

STATE GOVERNMENT Constitutional officers Arkansas’s executive branch is headed by the governor, who has ultimate authority over the operations of most state agencies, from the Department of Human Services to the Department of Correction. The second-most important statewide elected office is the attorney general, who serves as counsel for the state and acts as an advocate for consumers.

The secretary of state has authority over Arkansas’s election records (although the administration of elections is handled by county officials). In addition to the governor, attorney general and secretary of

state, Arkansas has four other constitutional officer positions not listed below: lieutenant governor, auditor, treasurer and land commissioner (you probably won’t ever have cause to deal with them).

tax revenue is spent and has limited influence over the operations of state agencies.

Because state senators and representatives are elected to represent the interests of their constituents, contacting these officials is generally the most direct means for citizens to communicate with state government. Every resident of Arkansas has one senator and one representative.

General inquiries to the House of Representatives can be directed to 682-6211 during the legislative session and 6827771 when the General Assembly is not in session. The Senate’s in-session number is 682-2902; its out-of-session number is 682-6107.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS

In a traditional public school district, voters elect school board members, who set policy for the district, make spending decisions and hire and fire its executive, the superintendent. However, the state Board of Education and the Education Department have the authority to seize control of a district and dissolve its elected board, under circumstances.

In the event of a takeover, the (unelected) state Education Commissioner serves as the board until the district is returned to local control.

The state took control of the Little Rock School District in Jan. 2015 due to six out of the district’s 48 campuses being deemed in “academic distress.” In 2016, the state returned the Pulaski County Special School District to local control after five years of state takeover, and voters elected new members to the PCSSD school board in November. The Jacksonville-North Pulaski District, which was formerly part of the PCSSD, achieved full autonomy in 2016.

Traditional school districts are funded by local property tax revenue, state revenue and federal funds. In addition to its four traditional public school districts,

hile there were no staggeringly pricy residential real estate transactions in 2016 and fewer sales of homes at $1 million or more than in 2015, the number of homes selling in the $700,000 to $1,999,999 range was higher — 62 compared to 55 last year.

The top three priciest homes were sold in midtown’s Heights neighborhood, but most of the transactions took place in West Little Rock. The highest downtown transaction, and the only one over $700,000, involved a home on Center Street, across from the Governor’s Mansion.

Places to dance A little salsa, a little boot scootin.’

T

he Latin dance scene in Little Rock has moved around as much as the cha cha, but since December 2016 it’s had a more permanent home: Club 27, in the River Market district at 614 President Clinton Ave. Around 300 fans turned out for the ballroom’s grand opening, in space previously occupied by Juanita’s restaurant. On Friday nights, salsa pro and club masterminds Sarah-Catherine and Jorge Gutierrez give a little instruction starting at 9 p.m. and the dancing gets into full swing at 10 p.m. Don’t have a partner? It doesn’t matter, the Gutierrezes say. You’ll find someone to merengue with, no problem. There’s a full bar to help with shyness as well. Admission is $5 before 10 p.m. (that includes the lesson) and $8 afterward.

Here’s a list of other places to dance to the music; cover charges vary depending on events and (sometimes) gender:

CLUB LEVEL 315 Main St. 372-1515 8 p.m.-2 a.m. Fri.-Sat. clublevelonline.com This is a two-story dance hall, 10,000 square feet with two bars with a steampunk aesthetic. Twentysomethings and thirtysomethings get into some vigorous grooves under the rainbow lights to music cranked out by the DJs in an elevated booth. Thirsty and hungry? Soak up your Wild Rabbit (cognac and coconut vodka in pineapple juice) and other specialty drinks with potato skins, burgers, wings and other bar food.

CLUB SWAY 412 Louisiana St. 777-5428 9 p.m.-2 a.m. Thu-Sat. clubsway.com Club Sway was the Arkansas Times Readers’ Choice for Best Gay Bar, but it’s a night spot for everyone. Sway has a multitiered dance floor under colored strobe lights, the yearly Fresh Fish drag competition (modeled after RuPaul’s Drag Race), drageoke with Queen Anthony on Thursdays and the House of Avalon’s “anything goes” dance party series, Gawddaughter. The venue is also open Wednesday and Sunday for special events (in 2016 it hosted get-togethers with progressive political candidates).

ELECTRIC COWBOY 9515 Interstate 30 8 p.m. to close Wed.-Sun. electriccowboy.com The folks at Discovery call the Electric Cowboy “Straightland,” but the Times’ own reviews describe it as the most diverse club in town: It’s not just longnecks and line dancing. You might even catch an Arkansas Times reporter doing the Cupid Shuffle there.

Still, this is where you’ll learn to scoot your boots (Thursday nights 8:30-9:30

The country music and rock ’n’ roll is on the bottom floor; the hip-hop and rap scene is upstairs.

DISCOVERY 1021 Jessie Road 666-6900 www.latenightdisco.com 9 p.m.-5 a.m. Sat. This venerable multiroom dance club has been hopping since 1979, bringing in the late-night dance crowd, both gay and straight. Move to whatever beat you want; Discovery has a discotheque, a theater for its drag shows, and hip-hop and Top 40 in the lobby; there’s also a game room.

TRINITI NIGHTCLUB 1021 Jessie Road 666-6900 trinitinightclub.com 9 p.m.-4 am. Fri. An 18-plus, Friday-night-only dance club attached to Discovery features three areas to hang out, depending on your mood: LeBistro, a chill little bar with a pool table area; 701, where the weekly drag shows start at 11 p.m.; and 501, a dance floor in case you’re so inspired by the queens werkin’ it that you need to werk it a little yourself.

Catch the open call Drag Wars the last Friday of every month at 1 a.m.

p.m.). There’s a weekly pool tournament, too ($10 buy-in; house matches pot). When you’re tired of moving on your own two feet, you can mount the mechanical bull.

CAJUN’S WHARF 2400 Cantrell Road 375-5351 4:30 p.m. until Mon.-Sat. (bar) cajunswharf.com Cajun’s bar has live happy hour bands and main acts Thursdays through

Saturdays with a DJ in between, so the dance floor never gets cold. In good weather, there’s also lots of partying on the “big swinging deck,” right there on the Arkansas River. Another bonus to bebop balletics at Cajun’s is the full menu from its restaurant next to the bar.

There’s music piped in Monday through Wednesday, but it might be seasonal, though a slow dance to “Baby It’s Cold Outside” sounds good — especially to the crowd at Cajun’s, which tends to be grown-ups.

very year, the Natives Guide publishes this extensive list of where to eat. Go low or go high; we’ve got everything from pizza parlors to the posh on this list. This year, we’ve added a little bark to the bites, by denoting with little icons where you can dine with your dog. Statistics show that 9.5 out of every 10 people in Little Rock own a dog, and a goodly number own more than one, so we know we are providing a valuable service by showing where you can chow with your chow chow … hunt up some hasenpfeffer with your foxhound … eat pit barbecue with your pit bull … go Chinese with your Pekingese .... manger French with your mangy Frenchie … drink beer with your boxer … down sprouts with your Brussels Griffon … fly to fast food with your Maltese.

HOT SPRINGS VILLAGE

H

ot Springs Village, Arkansas is America’s Largest Gated Community! “The Village” offers 9 golf courses, 12 lakes, 3 seasonal outdoor swimming pools, an indoor pool and fitness center that includes an indoor walking track, 16 tennis courts, 2 country clubs, and over 20 miles of nature trails. All of these things make Hot Springs Village the perfect place for you to come play, or stay for a lifetime.

When the babies began booming in post-World War II America, a developer named John A. Cooper, Sr. set his sights on establishing the Ozark foothills as destination for soldiers and their families to settle. Fast forward two decades, and Cooper adjusted his view to the Ouachitas, developing a 20,000-acre tract in Saline and Garland counties into Hot Springs Village.

Cooper’s plan to create a peaceful community surrounded by the beauty of the Ouachita Mountains, lakes, streams and valleys appealed to the parents of baby boomers, and today, the community holds the same appeal for the boomers themselves.

Hot Springs Village offers modern conveniences in a small-town setting. Hot Springs combines the best of all worlds for retirees: a gated community with a golf course on-site as a short commute to fine dining, live entertainment, spas and outdoor escapes.

CYCLING FINDS ITS NATURAL STATE BY: MICHAEL ROBERTS

Chainwheel, Little Rock’s oldest bike shop.

M

ost people learn to ride a bike as children, but it’s a skill that often gets left behind as we age. That’s a real shame, because Arkansas is blessed with some of the best cycling available in the country. From street races like the Big Dam Bridge 100 to hundreds of miles of well-designed mountain biking trails, there’s never been a better time to see if the old adage that one never forgets how to ride a bicycle is really true. Central Arkansas is also home to the 88-mile River Trail system, a well-paved gem that connects downtown Little Rock and North Little Rock to the Big Dam Bridge, Pinnacle Mountain and other areas of local interest.

So why ride at all? The obvious answer (the one your cardiologist would give you) is that cycling is exercise and the majority of Arkansans could use a lot more of that. Certainly, health is a prime motivator for many who take to the streets and a trail on two wheels, but it’s only the beginning. The main reason people ride?

Community. Cyclists form one of the most close-knit groups around, sharing a love of sport, camaraderie and encouragement that is second-to-none.

“There are various bicycle advocacy groups throughout Arkansas, including Bicycle Advocacy of Central Arkansas (BACA) and the Central Arkansas Trail Alliance (CATA),” says Joe Jacobs, Marketing and Revenue Manager for Arkansas State Parks — and an avid cyclist.

Each group has meetings where new cyclists can get all the help they need with finding riding buddies, proper equipment and a primer on the rules of the road. “These are not race or training groups,” says Jacobs. “These are groups who advocate bikes as a mean of transportation and the joy of cycling.”

Finding a group is a good first step — but what about finding a bike? To maximize comfort, safety and get the most out of cycling, investing in a custom bike is not only recommended, it’s almost a necessity. “Go to a local bike shop and find a bike that fits you!” says 38 38

mountain bike advocate Addie Teo. “Choosing a right or wrong bike will be the difference between liking and disliking cycling.”

To that end, Teo recommends taking advantage of the expertise available at bike shops like Chainwheel or Spokes in Little Rock, The Ride in Conway or Carr’s Chain Reaction in Russelville. “Local bike shops can adjust the bike to your body size,” she says. “And they can educate you on proper gear shifting, keeping tires properly aired and things like how to change a flat.”

Getting fitted for a bike is an intricate process — and at stores like Chainwheel, it involves some very high-tech body-mapping and a spin on the bike shop’s adjustable floor model.

For Tim Scott, father of Arkansas mountain biking and current Assistant Superintendent at Devil’s Den State Park, getting out on the trails is its own best argument for cycling. “Bicycling is one of the best ways to explore the landscape of Arkansas, by road or mountain bike,” he says. “You will find that most cyclists are very passionate about riding and willing to offer advice.”

The growth in cycling has launched Arkansas onto the national stage. The International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) recently chose Bentonville as the location for its 2016 World Summit, a vote of confidence in an area that has normally been reserved for higher-profile locations in California and Colorado.

In addition, new bicycle manufacturing facilities are gearing up production in North Little Rock with the opening of HIA VELO, founded earlier in 2016 by Orbea USA veteran Tony Karklins. It’s a great indication that cycling has become an economic driver in the state as well as a form of recreation.

“Cycling is not an inexpensive hobby,” admits Tim Scott. But for many in the state, bikes represent far more than just transportation or fun — each cycle is a symbol for a way of different and vibrant way of life, and each cyclist is an evangelist for their passion.

That means streets are constructed for slower speeds, buildings are placed closer together, and exteriors are designed to be safe and attractive for pedestrians.

RETIREMENT IN PULASKI COUNTY GOOD SHEPHERD

G

ood Shepherd provides a quality, affordable living experience for retirees in a faith-based community, which is committed to maintaining the independence, well-being and dignity of all its residents. Established in the 1970s, Good Shepherd began as an ecumenical mission by four Christian denominations, and it has identified and responded to the health and social needs of senior adults of all ethnicities and backgrounds in central Arkansas.

“Good Shepherd provides an innovative way to fill the need for affordable, not-for-profit housing options for local seniors,” said Kim Currey, assistant to the chief operating officer at Good Shepherd. “Over time, Good Shepherd has grown from a single building of 200 apartments into a full-service retirement community with five facilities encompassing more than 500 apartments, all located on a picturesque 145-acre campus in west Little Rock. We are committed to offering our residents a balanced quality of life by pro-

viding a true community atmosphere, attractive living spaces, and a healthy and independent lifestyle – with all the comforts and conveniences of home – including good friends and neighbors.”

The Cottages are the newest addition to the housing options at Good Shepherd. They come in one- and two-bedroom options and provide comfortable and comforting surroundings for residents.

“Seniors are never alone in this community, but we respect their privacy while still providing the services they want and need,” Currey said. “Our mission is to deliver professional and personal service in a ministry-based approach to make a difference and touch lives across Arkansas.”

For more information, visit 2701 Aldersgate Rd. in Little Rock or online at goodshepherdcommunity.com. You also can call Good Shepherd at 501-224-7200.

EDUCATION

PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT T

he Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD), with 26 schools throughout Little Rock, North Little Rock, Maumelle and Sherwood, Ark., is one of the largest districts in the state and offers a myriad of opportunities to students from Pre-K through high school.

Dr. Jerry Guess, the district’s superintendent of schools, is a staunch supporter of public schools, and said he expects 2017 to be a “year of opportunity” for PCSSD students. “Public schools, and PCSSD schools specifically, are where you get the whole package from an educational aspect. Students are exposed to an array of opportunities – from the arts to athletics, and clubs and organizations that fit the strengths of each individual,” he said.

“We have special education classes and Advanced Placement courses,” he added. “In fact, for the 2017 school year we are partnering with the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and PCSSD high school students will be able to take courses in high school that will qualify for college credits. That will challenge our top learners and help them save money on college tuition,” he said.

Guess said the use of technology in his district is popular with parents, and the plan for the coming school years is to enhance efforts in that area. “I think we have the state’s leading One-toOne Program, meaning each of our students has a device they CONTINUED ON PAGE 44

CENTRAL ARKANSAS LIBRARY SYSTEM E

ach day, more than 14,500 people visit a Central Arkansas Library System (CALS) branch and over 3,500 questions are asked by residents of Pulaski and Perry counties.

The library is a hub for connection and connectivity through their digital branch at www.cals.org or one of 14 neighborhood library branches that serve as spaces for civic and social engagement and lifelong learning.

Not to mention over 1 million items available for checkout.

kitchens and extra meeting space, while the Fletcher Library in the Hillcrest will feature public meeting space available for after-hours events. Other projects include a recently completed parking deck on the Main Library campus, an addition to the Maumelle branch, and a new Amy Sanders branch for the City of Sherwood.

The Children’s Library, situated on a six-acre site just south of the Little Rock Zoo in midtown, features a recording studio, greenhouse, maker lab, theater, and walking trails.

CALS is working to change the typical perceptions of the library. The library has transformed from a quiet study to a vibrant, safe environment to read, relax, learn and grow.

DIGITAL

Most don’t realize that the library provides free downloadable eBooks, audiobooks, music and magazines as well as streaming videos and learning database resources. CALS’s downloadable magazine collection has titles ranging from Rolling Stone to Bon Appetit. Once downloaded, magazines are for keeps; however, the collection of more than 40,000 eBook and audiobook titles return automatically, removing the chance for accruing pesky library fines.

A new addition to the CALS digital collection in early 2017 is Universal Class, a life-long learning resource that will allow patrons to take online courses in many different topics from English as a Second Language (ESL) and Writing Basics courses to courses on physics and floral arranging.

If Arkansas history is of interest, don’t miss CALS Butler Center for Arkansas Studies’ online resource, Encyclopedia of Arkansas, which boasts over 4,700 entries on Arkansas history. From December of 2015 to date, more than 1.8 million visitors have perused www.encylcopediaofarkansas.net. Patrons can also browse the collection of the CALS Butler Center for Arkansas Studies and the UALR Center for Arkansas History and Culture at www. arstudies.org. There, you’ll find hundreds of hours of audio recordings, home movies, and millions of docu-

ments and photographs.

Access all of these resources at www.cal.sorg. CALS works to bridge the digital divide by providing computers for public use and Wi-Fi connectivity in all CALS locations.

SPACES

CALS is working to adapt and energize its spaces in keeping with changing services, programs, interests and needs of users, and the changing ways they use library spaces.

With branches all around Little Rock, and in Jacksonville, Sherwood, Maumelle, Wrightsville, and Perryville, there is a library convenient to you.

The Main Library campus, located in Little Rock’s River Market District, includes a flagship library location as well as the CALS Ron Robinson Theater, River Market Books & Gifts, and the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies.

Thanks to Little Rock voters, CALS is in the process of renovating and expanding several branches to better serve the communities surrounding them. New amenities for Dee Brown Library in southwest Little Rock and Thompson Library in west Little Rock include teaching

PROGRAMMING AND SERVICES

Programming at the library is just as diverse as its spaces.

Traditional storytimes and book clubs are offered at each branch, but that’s not all. Programs include regularly scheduled movies and lectures at CALS Ron Robinson Theater; Arkansas Sounds, a monthly concert series featuring Arkansas artists; the Arkansas Literary Festival, and CALS-produced podcasts including Primary Sources featuring folks with a unique perspective of life in Arkansas.

CALS is a home away from home for artists, historians, students, authors, and anyone who wants to learn about the rich culture of Arkansas. Learn life skills using the teaching gardens and kitchens, explore your environment and beyond with microscopes and telescopes, tinker with a 3D printer, or get assistance looking for jobs or learning how to use a computer. Stop by the CALS branch, you might be surprised at what you find.

With more than one million items to check out and a wide array of programming to enjoy, a CALS library card might be the most powerful piece of plastic to possess.

Find it all at the library.

EDUCATION CONTINUED use at school and can take home at night. It extends learning beyond the walls of the classroom and brings education to life.

“We have third-grade students researching and then creating reports using PowerPoint and presenting them to their classmates. The One-to-One Program is helping our kids truly be college and career ready – beginning in elementary school.”

Guess also said he is excited about the progress the district has made with its facilities. “We are in the process of building two brand new schools – Robinson Middle School in West Little Rock and Mills University Studies High School in the southern part of Little Rock.

“The schools will open their doors for the 2018 school year, which means we will be very, very busy in 2017 in a good way,” he added.

Guess said he encourages families who are new to the area, or those who may want to choose a PCSSD public school for their student, to schedule a visit.

“Our principals are willing to tour families, and that’s the best way to make a decision about whether a school is a fit for your family.”

“When you get inside a school and see the basketball team practicing as hard as they can, or students engaged in a lesson in the classroom or young artists creating beautiful work, you can see for yourself why I’m so proud of

our schools,” he said.

The list of all PCSSD schools is available on the district’s website, www.PCSSD.org. All schools also have their own websites. For news about schools, you can also follow PCSSD on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
