Lake draw downs begin October 14
The Hot Springs Village Department of public works will draw down Lake Coronado and Lake Isabella a total of six feet each, beginning Oct. 14, at
a rate of approximately one inch per day depending on rainfall. The lakes will
remain at the lowered level until February 2014, when the valve will be closed
for the lake to begin refilling.
A lake draw down improves the water quality, allowing for
maintenance and silt removal. Public works would like to coordinate with land
front property owners, to give them an opportunity to maintain lakefront
seawalls and other structures.
A permit is not required for routine maintenance but is
required for construction of seawalls and boat docks as well as a shaping under
and around boat docks. Permits are issued by the Hot Springs Village permitting
and inspections department. For more information, call 922-5562.

PRO-10 facts from the creators or the idea to donate $10 a month to the POA for special projects
PRO-10
… A Voluntary Revenue Enhancement Program
“Fact Sheet”
Q: What is PRO-10?
A: PRO-10 stand for “Pro-Village” and “$10 a
Month”. It is a grass roots program
that offers all property owners the opportunity to voluntarily contribute $10 a
month – or $120 for 2014 -- toward enhancements that can add value to their
financial investment in Hot Springs Village
Q:
Why do we need PRO-10?
A:
As the largest gated private community in the U.S.
Q:
How does PRO-10 work?
A:
During November and December, all HSV property owners – resident and
non-resident, alike – will be invited to pledge $10 a month for calendar year
2014, starting in January. That pledge
can be met monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or in a lump sum. Lump sum payments can be made by personal
check, credit card, or electronic fund transfer (EFT). Periodic payments (monthly, quarterly or
semi-annually) require electronic fund transfer.
Q:
Where will the PRO-10 Monies go?
A:
All contributions will be deposited in a special PRO-10 account, and
tracked separately from General Revenues.
The HSV General Manager will determine how the dollars are spent, with
the condition they go toward “enhancements that add value to the Members’
financial investment in Hot
Springs Village
Q:
What is in it for me, as a HSV Member?
A:
Most importantly, PRO-10 reinforces our financial investment in
the Village---through enhancements that make our daily lives more enjoyable,
while also attracting new residents to the Village. PRO-10 contributors who want their support to
be known can request a “PRO-10” window decal to be placed next to their 2014
HSV vehicle decal. They will also be
recognized by name in the quarterly Advocate magazine. Anyone who prefers to remain anonymous can
simply request on the pledge form that their name not be published.
Q:
Is PRO-10 a one-year program?
A:
The “Grass Roots Task Team” (named below) envisions that PRO-10 will be
offered annually, until such a time that a more permanent solution to our
revenue needs can be found.
Q:
How do I sign up for PRO-10?
A:
Starting in late October, PRO-10 pledge forms will be available at key
locations throughout the Village.
PRO-10 invitations will also be inserted in the November mailing on 2014
amenities (primarily to residents) and the December mailing on 2014 membership
cards (primarily to non-residents).
Participating in PRO-10 – and supporting our Village – is as easy as
completing and returning the one-page pledge form.

NPMC Invests in Property, Plans for Expansion
Detailed building plans are not yet
ready for public release, but expanded service lines are expected to include a
self-contained expanded Cardiology Center of Excellence, medical imaging,
emergency services, outpatient services, surgery and women’s services. Other key services will be phased in over the
next 2-3 years. “Architectural plans are
in the works and we look forward to sharing detailed building schematics as
they become available” said Mandy Golleher, NPMC’s director of marketing and
volunteer services. “The most recent
architectural estimates indicate the projects could be in the range of a $40-45
million dollar investment when all stages are complete” said Mabry.
NPMC is planning updates to the
current building and property which will include new flooring, furnishings,
corridor updates, cosmetics and a new chapel.
“We have been extremely
appreciative of the outpouring of support from physicians, patients and the
community especially in the past year and a half. We have been very busy continuing to pursue
our mission of what’s required to deliver the very best short and long-term
healthcare solutions to this region. Our
commitment to this process has never wavered and is stronger today than ever”
said Mabry.

Statement by Senator Mark Pryor On the Continuing Resolution
Friday U.S. Senator Mark Pryor
released the following statement regarding his vote to keep the government
open.
Today the Senate came together to pass a responsible measure that will keep our government open. A government shutdown would be irresponsible and would put our nation’s economic security and credit rating in jeopardy. The American people are tired of the reckless “my-way-or-the-highway” politics. I’m confident that reasonable members of the House will pass the Senate’s common-sense bill so we can continue to move our nation forward.

Fourth anniversary of Arkansas Lottery yesterday
Yesterday, the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery marked its Fourth Anniversary since launching ticket sales. The Lottery’s most important accomplishment in 48 months has been the delivery of more than $375 Million in scholarships for Arkansas students. The scholarships are distributed by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education.
Many others have also benefited. Lottery players have won more than $1.15 Billion ($1,150,000,000) in prizes. Sales have totaled in excess of $1.8 Billon, generating over $103.7 million in commissions for about 1900 Arkansas businesses that are Lottery retailers located in all 75 counties. The Lottery currently offers for sale both instant and online tickets through these retailers, without whom not a ticket would be sold or a dollar earned for scholarships.
The history of the Arkansas Lottery began in November 2008 when 63 per cent of state voters approved a constitutional amendment allowing the creation of a lottery whose proceeds all go benefit citizens of our state who attend Arkansas colleges. The General Assembly in 2009 passed the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Act, creating the agency and setting up the structure for a 9-member Commission appointed by the Governor, the Speaker of the House, and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. The legislation was signed by the Governor, becoming law, on March 26, 2009.
The Commission met in May 2009, and staffers began working in June 2009, resulting in the offering of the first four instant tickets in late September 2009. In October, Powerball rolled out and within months the Lottery was offering a full range of instant and draw tickets. The purpose of the ASL is to provide scholarships and grants to Arkansas residents enrolled in public and private nonprofit two-year and four-year colleges and universities within the state.
Exact figures through September 26 (unaudited)
Total Scholarships: $375,745,086, Total Sales: $1,847,300,376,
Total Commissions: $103,707,998, Prizes Awarded: $1,154,362,513

4-Mile Run Will Leave You Screaming For More
Hot Springs Village, Arkansas
is hosting a special weekend for the outdoor enthusiast, headlined by the first
annual Dusk Scare - a 4-mile competitive run through the Ouachita Mountains.
This competitive run, presented by Village Home Center, set for Nov. 2, begins
at 2:30 p.m. from Cortez Pavilion on Hernando Trail West; it is a challenging
trail with lots of natural beauty. Participants walk or run the secluded
tree-lined path while trying to avoid killer Zombies, tasked with snatching
participants' life flags. (Life or health flags are worn on belts similar to
those used in flag football). Runners try to stay one step ahead and keep their
life lines intact. However, this is a competitive run; the winner will be
declared on his/her performance time regardless of the number of life lines
stolen during the event. (No one is disqualified even if ALL of his/her life
lines end up in the hands of Zombies.) Walkers may participate for fun; but
walking is not a competitive event. Click here to
register now.

Clinton to speak at 50th anniversary of Greers Ferry Dam dedication
Jill M. Rohrbach, travel writer
Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism
Former President Bill Clinton will deliver remarks at the 50th anniversary of the Greers Ferry Dam Dedication set for 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 3 at the John F. Kennedy Overlook in Heber Springs.
The Army Corps of Engineers Greers Ferry Project Office is celebrating the anniversary of the dedication, made Oct. 3, 1963 by President John F. Kennedy. It was one of his last public appearances before his assassination on Nov. 22, 1963.
At the original event, Kennedy said, “I know that 10 years from now, if we come back again, flying as we did over the land that we will see an even richer State, and I think you can take pride and satisfaction in what you have done.”
The benefits of the dam have, in fact, been substantial. It has provided flood control, recreation, power generation and water supply for those in the valley of the Little Red River. This resources’ annual value to the region is $1 million in flood damage prevention, $8 million in electricity revenue, seven million visitors to Greers Ferry Lake, and a boom in tourism revenue to the area.
Nestled in the Ozark foothills between Clinton and Heber Springs, Greers Ferry is among the state's five largest lakes. It is also tops in providing great fishing, water sports, boating and camping. The award-winning reservoir serves as the national model for environmental cleanliness. Corps of Engineers campgrounds and commercial parks are available, along with first-class lodging, lakeside resorts and fine restaurants. Shopping and historical sites are other attractions around the lake.
The Corps began construction in March of 1959. It took hundreds of workers and $46.5 million to build Greers Ferry Dam.
Clinton will give his remarks from the same podium used by Kennedy in the original dedication. Other speakers for the anniversary event include Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe and Army Corps of Engineers Southwestern Division Commander Brig. Gen. Thomas Kula. Just as it did 50 years ago, The 106th Army Band will perform.
The event is free and the public is encouraged to come early to view more than 25 exhibits, many of which showcase the history of Greers Ferry Dam and Lake. Park gates open at 9:30 a.m. The ceremony is planned to last one hour. The overlook is located just north of the dam.
Seating is limited so those attending should bring a lawn chair if possible. The Heber Springs Fire Department will shuttle anyone needing assistance from the parking area to the seating area. Additional parking is available at Dam Site Park Day Use Area with shuttle service provided to the ceremony site beginning at 9:30 a.m. Southwestern Entergy will provide free bottled water.
Current exhibitors include: the Army Corps of Engineers, the Arkansas National Guard, Southwestern Power Administration, Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, Heber Springs Chamber of Commerce, Greers Ferry Chamber of Commerce, Clinton Chamber of Commerce, GAR-BRO Manufacturing Company, U.S. Postal Service, Greers Ferry Lake & Little Red River Association, Heber Springs Fire Department, Save Greers Ferry Lake; Rotary Club of Cleburne County, University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture-Cleburne County Extension, Cleburne County 4H, Arkansas State University-Heber Springs, South Fork Nature Center, Clinton Rotary, Clinton Advertising and Promotion Commission, artist Ellen Hobgood and author Karen Murphy.

Check out the fall color updates
How do I find out about Arkansas Foliage?
The Arkansas Department of Parks & Tourism has a network of fall color spotters in every region updating weekly. This information is reported, and available by 5 p.m. Central Time each Thursday for nine weeks. Arkansas provides this information so travelers can make plans to see the foliage on the weekends. Reports are available by calling 1-800-NATURAL (answered live 24 hours a day) or (501) 682-7777 (normal business hours only). You can also order an Arkansas Vacation Planning Kit by calling either of these numbers. Check our Web site: www.arkansas.com for updates and a wealth of other travel information. And plan a stop at one of the 13 Arkansas State Welcome Centers.
What are the Fall Foliage Regions?
What are the Fall Foliage Regions?
Foliage changes in these three regions are described: northwest/north central Arkansas (Ozarks), central Arkansas/Ouachita Mountains and southern/eastern Arkansas. We report specific areas and highways during peak color times.
Where are the Best Locations in Arkansas to see the brilliant hues of autumn?
The Natural State has a variety of scenic drives that afford great viewing. They are located all over the state and are denoted on the official Arkansas State Highway Map with a yellow highway symbol. Picturesque town squares; the Ouachita and Ozark Mountains; city, state and federal parks, plus the Ozark, St. Francis and Ouachita National Forests also provide terrific vantage points for viewing the oranges, reds, greens, yellows, and bronzes of fall.
Why Do Leaves Begin to Change?
There are three primary factors responsible for the color changing process in the fall. The first is how the leaves produce food. The leaves use sunlight via photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, water and other nutrients from the soil to provide the tree with food. The different trees’ leaves react differently and have different pigments including carotenoids (yellows and oranges), anthocyanin (deep reds to purples to blues) and chlorophyll (greens). Chlorophyll is the second factor. The shortened amount of sunlight in the days slows down the chemical change in the production of chlorophyll, which gives leaves their green color during spring and summer. When the days grow shorter, the chlorophyll lacks the sunlight needed so it breaks down into sugars allowing the red, yellow and orange hues to show through. The third and last factor that affects fall foliage is the weather.
How Does Weather Affect Fall Foliage?
Weather patterns during September and October (in Arkansas) are very important for fall foliage. Leaves produce sugars for food during the day but cooler temperatures at night keep these sugars from moving out of the leaves and into the tree, meaning warm days and cool nights at the beginning of fall are very good for production of red, yellow and orange colors.
When everything comes together at the same time, we enjoy a statewide outbreak of vibrant colors that are always present in one area or another each year. Most years, great color appears in different regions at various times in October and November, and knowing when makes the weekly updates valuable.
Does Rain Affect Fall Foliage?
Rainfall affects fall foliage because it provides us with healthy trees. A drier autumn helps keep the leaves intact on the trees. Sunny days and cool, crisp nights are the best weather conditions to produce fall colors. Frost and freezing conditions can destroy the colorful foliage.
When Do the Leaves Change?
Color change usually begins in the Ozarks of northern Arkansas in late September or early October. The trees in central Arkansas and the Ouachita mountain range of west central Arkansas are changing noticeably by early to mid-October. Southern and eastern Arkansas foliage usually begins changing during mid-October. But most people are more interested in the "peak" of color, the period of a week or so when the foliage in a particular area is at its best. Historically, the peak occurs during late October or early November in the Ozarks, early November in central and western Arkansas and early to mid-November in the southern and eastern regions. This is an average and varies from year-to-year.
What Trees Will I See?
Here’s a short list of foliage that changes early in Arkansas and the color(s) they are likely to display:
· Blackgum (red)
· Hickory (yellow)
· Sassafras (red, orange or yellow)
· Sweetgum (red, yellow or purple)· Red Maple (red, yellow or orange)
· Dogwood (brownish red)
· Poison Ivy and Poison Oak (red)
· Sumac (red)
· Buckeye (red)
When Should I Go?
Foliage looks great shortly before peak, too. Never wait until the last minute to visit an area of outstanding color. Only fragile stems hold the colorful leaves onto the trees and wind, rain, hail or frost can bring an end to color in an area in a matter of hours. Plan to stay a few days and let the foliage serve as a backdrop for camping, hiking, canoeing, photography, scenic highway tours, craft fairs, fishing and other favorite autumn activities.

John Denver walks, sings and smiles again
It’s hard
to believe John Denver died in 1997; he would have been 70 on New Year’s Eve
this year. He was only 53 when he passed.
There are
many very talented singers paying tribute to John Denver including Villager Roy
Rivers, but hands down Ted Vigil is the one that most closely resembles John
Denver and sounds like him, too. Vigil is appearing this week as part of the
Village Concerts’ Association series at the Woodlands Auditorium.
John Denver
started off in folk music in the 1960’s with his hit Leaving on a Jet Plane,
recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary. Vigil sang this and many of Denver
Vigil was
backed up by a Portland
The
audience settled in for a high-energy performance by Vigil. Before too many
songs Vigil had the audience singing along to the familiar choruses in the
beloved Denver
Tuesday
nights are for the most adventurous Concerts’ Association members. The audience
is the first to view the four night run. If the show is good or bad the opening
night audience spreads the word and subsequent audiences reflect the
spontaneous reviews. Subsequent audiences for this show will be SRO, standing
room only. The price of admission is worth it just to see one of Vigil’s smiles,
so reminiscent of Denver
For those
of you interested in learning more about Ted Vigil go to his website at
tedvigil.com. Following the show his CD, Sing My Songs is available in the Woodlands’
lobby for $20.
For those
of you wanting to get a subscription to the Concerts’ Association series
including the John Denver Tribute, This Is The 60s, The Highwaymen, The Texas
Tenors and Paganini, call Jim Berdahl at 922-6539. For tickets to just one show

Village POA board votes
The Village POA board met
Wednesday to vote on several items.
The board threw its full
support behind the Village PRO-10 proposal allowing property owners to donate
$10 a month to the POA projects budget. The plan is expected to pass next month
and the paperwork for the $10 option will be a part of Villager’s annual
renewal package.
The Mt. Carmel
The All Saints Anglican
Church Developer’s Agreement outlining various responsibilities of both the
developer and the POA passed.
The creation of the Health
Services Ad Hoc Committee passed.
The Jump Start Resolution
passed with director Jeff Atkins dissenting. This measure allows the POA to

POA budget meeting
The Village POA board held the first in a series of open meetings Monday afternoon concerning the 2014 budget and the five year plan. This meeting addressed 2014 budget items for recreation, public works and administration. The audience and the board was reminded the process is fluid and items are still being added and eliminated from the written budget. One of administration’s sub-categories getting a lot of attention was the public relations budget of $500,000 for 2014.
There were audience complaints of spending so much for the same old same old in public relations and marketing. But, General Manager David Twiggs and PR and Marketing director Danette Botkin said there will be big changes in the department this year with a big emphasis on marketing unsold POA lots. Sales will become a big part of the marketing effort to bring new residents to the Village.
Twiggs also wants to introduce more allocations, drawing money from sources outside a line item and sometimes outside a department’s budget to finance certain projects. Dredging lakes from the public works budget was one of those items. Twiggs believes that the lakes operational budget is suffering from the overrun cost of dredging the lakes. Dredging would become an allocation with funding pulled from other sources, some within the public works department and some from outside. He said is was far more important to do a thorough job dredging with a team of workers instead of the one man show it had become. This winter Lake Coronado and Lake Isabella are scheduled for dredging. Twiggs would like to include Magellan Pond in the dredging this winter due to the connectivity of Lake Isabella and Magellan Pond.
The Village Lawn Bowling Club was present en masse to protest the re-surfacing of the lawn bowling green’s continuous elimination from the recreation budget. The re-surfacing was originally scheduled year’s ago at a cost of $100,000. The current estimated cost by club members is $70,000. Even with a drop in the cost the re-surfacing is not in the budget. Twiggs has promised a meeting with club officers to discuss this matter.

The Fantasticks at The Five Star Theatre is very, very good
How can the world’s longest running musical be unfamiliar to so many living right now? I can barely explain why I’d never seen The Fantasticks before. My theatrical experiences have leaned toward big production numbers and flashy sets. The simplicity of The Fantasticks is sweet and endearing.
The Fantasticks, now playing at the Five Star Theatre in Hot Springs is in fact the longest running musical in the world. Part of the reason for the success of its longevity is it can be performed anywhere with a bare wood floor, a cardboard moon, a talented cast, a little magic and imagination. The Five Star Theatre has all of those ingredients to make a successful run of The Fantasticks every Friday and Saturday night from now through October 26. In addition to a memorable show patrons enjoy a wonderful dinner provided by The Porterhouse and Belle Arti.
The bare wood floor is an elevated stage set for every one to see from anywhere in the house. The cardboard moon makes its appearance several times throughout the show. The talented cast surprised me with its consistency, all standout performances, no weak link. The magic was definitely there and I brought my imagination with me as did all the other audience members.
If you don’t know it already, the number one rule when seeing musical theater, or opera for that matter, is to leave your sense of reality at the front door. We don’t go through life singing at the drop of the hat, especially with a deep sense of introspection, so let go and have fun while watching.
The Fantasticks is a 1960 musical with music by Harvey Schmidt and lyrics by Tom Jones. The show's original off-Broadway production ran 42 years, yes, 42 years with 17,162 performances. There are about 250 new productions of the musical around the world every year in the United States and 67 other countries, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. This production is produced by Stacey Castlebury and directed by Elaine Bankston.
The simple story of The Fantasticks involves two fathers wanting to combine their adjoining lands by arranging for their children to marry without knowing it is an arranged marriage. They use the reverse psychology of no by constructing an imaginary wall separating the two properties and an imaginary feud to keep the children apart. Add in an abduction and a rescue for comic relief. The forbidden is so tempting the plan works until the daughter and son discover the truth. Eventually, true love finds a way and the couple comes back together to unite the families for good.
The Fantasticks has one song that is recognizable to most everyone even if the overall musical is not, Try to Remember, no I’m not quizzing you, Try to Remember is the title of the song. The show starts with this number in this case sung by the incredibly talented Ken Goodman. Many of you have seen Goodman perform at his Vienna Theatre and at the Woodlands. He has a booming baritone that has nuance when loud and soft. Goodman appears as the narrator, bandit El Gallo. El Gallo means cocky person. Jerry Orbach originated the role in 1960. The character of El Gallo is the glue that holds the production together and Goodman has the notes and charisma to easily accomplish this task. After appearing in The Fantasticks Goodman will be transformed into Daddy Warbucks for the Village Players production of Annie this November and will perform in his Christmas show at the Five Star Theatre in December.
The mute dancer weaves her way through the show handing out a few simple props while advancing the action. Kodie Brown and Elizabeth Soleder share this role. It is thankless and invisible. When at its best the performance is not noticed it just keeps the flow going and in this production the goal is accomplished admirably.
The two fathers step up and hatch their plans with the delightfully funny Never Say No. Both men are strong tenors and good character actors. Mark Maddux plays Bellamy, Louisa’s father. He brings humor and chemistry to the role. The chemistry is with fellow father actor Thomas Cooper as Matt’s father, Huckabee. Cooper doubles his roles as Henry, one of the actor/bandits. Both men hold their own with these supporting characters.
Natalie Williams appears as the daughter, Luisa. The OBU sophomore has accumulated a lot of musical theater credits at this point and I am sure local audiences will see a lot more of her before she graduates and heads into her professional career as a composer/performer. Williams voice is that of a lyric soprano, high and electric. The character of Luisa calls for naivete and growth into maturity. Williams does both quite well.
Timothy Cooper is the affable Matt. Cooper’s interpretation of Matt very much reminds me of another 60's era character Chuck Baxter from Promises Promises. Another role originated by Jerry Orbach. He is sweet, insecure and lovable. He has a good singing voice and holds his own in the standout cast. He is working with his real life father as his stage father and his real life uncle as the choreographer of the show, Edmond Cooper.
The unsung hero of this production was the keyboard player hidden away in an elevated section of the theater, Janice Maddux. Maddux did a phenomenal job with a tough score. She deserves many kudos.
My recommendation is to run not walk to your computer and get your tickets for a Friday or Saturday night from now through October 26 at www.thefivestartheatre.com. You can also call (501) 318-1600 for reservations. The Five Star Theatre is at 701 Central Avenue in historic downtown Hot Springs.
The Fantasticks, now playing at the Five Star Theatre in Hot Springs is in fact the longest running musical in the world. Part of the reason for the success of its longevity is it can be performed anywhere with a bare wood floor, a cardboard moon, a talented cast, a little magic and imagination. The Five Star Theatre has all of those ingredients to make a successful run of The Fantasticks every Friday and Saturday night from now through October 26. In addition to a memorable show patrons enjoy a wonderful dinner provided by The Porterhouse and Belle Arti.

U.S. Senators Mark Pryor and John Boozman, along with Congressmen Rick Crawford
(AR-1) and Tim Griffin (AR-2) announced the state will receive a
$4,960,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to resurface
sections of Highway 92 and replace two weight restricted
bridges.
“Investing in our infrastructure is a common-sense way we can attract and expand business in our state,” Pryor said. “This significant injection of funds will allow us to make the upgrades and improvements we need to keep transportation safe and efficient in Arkansas.”
“Upgrades to our transportation infrastructure are vital for Arkansas's continued economic development. As Arkansas grows, our infrastructure must keep pace. This grant will improve this stretch of highway which will help lead to long-term job creation in the surrounding communities,” said Boozman.
“Arkansas’s highways are the arteries of commerce that bring jobs and economic activity to our state. As a Member of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, I will continue fighting for cost-effective ways such as these TIGER Grants to continue maintaining and growing Arkansas’s critical transportation network,” said Crawford.
“Modern infrastructure is critically important for growing our economy and these funds will help modernize a key route in Conway and Van Buren Counties,” Griffin said.
This $4,960,000 grant comes from the Department of Transportation’s TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) Discretionary Grant program that invests in transportation projects that will have a significant economic impact on the region and nation.
