are all here to sign up for the League’s Winter Conference,
Jan. 9-11, at the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock.
North Little Rock police officer Tommy Norman
likes to give stickers to young shoppers while
working off-duty at Wal-Mart, just one of several off-duty security jobs he works. In addition
to helping him make financial ends meet,
working off-duty is great for public relations,
Norman says. It gives him a chance to meet
the public and show a friendlier side of law
enforcement.
ON THE COVER—The League’s Municipal Legal
Defense Program is taking steps to protect police
officers who work off-duty security jobs. By contracting with municipalities, private employers
can ensure off-duty officers’ ability to protect
and serve while retaining legal coverage under
the Program. Read about this important new
exemption and more inside. Enjoy!—atm

Off-duty security
A new exemption in the League’s
Municipal Legal Defense Program
ensures that police officers working offduty continue to receive much-needed
coverage and benefits.
By Mark Hayes, League General Counsel
F
PHOTO BY ANDREW MORGAN, LEAGUE
STAFF
Wal-Mart is just one of several locations North Little Rock Police
Officer Tommy Norman works off-duty to supplement his income.
Beginning in 2008, Wal-Mart will have to contract with Norman’s
municipal employer to continue his coverage under the League’s
Municipal Legal Defense Program.
6
or many years police officers have sought to
supplement their incomes by working at what
are commonly referred to as off-duty jobs.
These jobs generally consist of a private business or entity hiring an officer to act in some sort
of security role. Normally the officer works in full
uniform, including gun and badge. The officer’s
presence is designed to act as a deterrent to crime
and as an enforcer of criminal laws should criminal
behavior occur. Even when the officer is in plain
clothes, as merchants often request, his or her role
is generally the same, for instance to deter or catch
shoplifters.
What virtually everyone involved in these
scenarios has not addressed is whether the off-duty
employer will pay for legal defense and judgments
that might accrue as a result of the off-duty employment. It has been the experience of the Municipal
Legal Defense Program (MLDP) that off-duty employer will not provide legal defense or monetary
coverage for the officer. Further, other coverage,
including workers’ compensation, has been called
into doubt in these circumstances.
Consider the following hypothetical scenario:
Officer Helpful takes on an off-duty job with
Really Big Store (RBS). The officer works almost
every Saturday from noon until closing and is
directed by the RBS manager to walk around the
store, smile at the customers, do police “work” and
arrest any bad guys. Officer Helpful followed city
policy and got Chief I-Know-You-Need-Some-ExtraCash’s approval to work the job. Helpful is fully
aware that any police actions he takes while
working at RBS will be treated by the chief, mayor
and the city council as if he were on regular patrol.
In short, Helpful thinks of himself as a police officer
first and an RBS employee second.
CITY & TOWN
One bright and sunny Saturday afternoon, Ima
Shopper comes to RBS and accidentally puts a really
nice watch in her purse. She then tries to leave the
store. Officer Helpful witnesses the “accidental”
taking and approaches Ms. Shopper. Ms. Shopper
screams, tries to run off in her electric powered
shopping cart and Helpful gives chase. After a tenfoot slow speed pursuit, Officer Helpful overtakes
the cart and places Ms. Shopper in a standard
police “hold,” thereby causing the two of them
to fall to the ground. The officer arrests Ms. Shopper
who then indicates that she’s been hurt in the scuffle.
She also tells Helpful that he isn’t helpful at all.
Ms. Shopper sues RBS, the RBS manager, the
CEO of RBS and all of its corporate board of directors. She also sues Officer Helpful. RBS hires one of
the best attorneys in the state, Mr. I. Winalot. Helpful
talks with the RBS manager about the suit and is told
that Winalot is on the case and not to worry.
Helpful talks also with Mayor Sued-A-Bunch who
immediately calls the Municipal League. At the
mayor’s request, the League calls Winalot and asks
if RBS is going to defend Helpful, pay all the costs
associated with the defense and pay for any
judgments that might be rendered against the officer.
After some calls to RBS, Mr. Winalot tells the
League, Mayor Sued-A-Bunch and Helpful that RBS
will not pay for any settlements or judgments against
Helpful if Helpful’s “police actions” against Ms.
Shopper are found to violate the law. Further,
Winalot points out that neither the city nor Helpful
made any such arrangements when Helpful went
to work for RBS. Thus, Winalot says, RBS has no
obligation to pay for anything, including a lawyer
for Helpful.
Not surprisingly, this sort of thing happens quite
often to municipal law enforcement officers. As a
result, the MLDP Steering Committee has taken
action to ensure that “off-duty officers” will be
covered by the Program in these circumstances,
provided the member city follows some relatively
easy steps. The Program’s policy change will benefit
municipal police officers all across the state. Starting
Jan. 1, 2008, the following exemption from coverage will apply to all MLDP members:
OCTOBER 2007
5(c)(xxii) claims involving city or town
police officers working off-duty (noncity) jobs unless the off-duty employer
contracts with the city to allow the
officer to work under the following
terms and conditions: The officer will
be considered an employee of the
city and will receive all pay and
benefits from the city for the off-duty
work; the off-duty employer will reimburse the city for all such pay and
benefits; and, the officer will be subject to, and shall abide by, all city
and departmental rules and regulations as well as complying with all
local, state and federal laws.
In other words, MLDP will not cover claims
arising from off-duty employment of police officers
unless the city enters into a contract containing the
terms and conditions described. (See the MLDP
brochure dated Jan. 1, 2008, mailed with dues
statements to all cities and towns on Oct. 1, 2007.)
By entering into a contract with an off-duty
employer, the city can ensure that the employment
status of the off-duty officer is clear and thereby
guarantee that the Program will provide defense
and coverage pursuant to the remainder of the
terms of the MLDP.
In essence, the new policy requires that the
off-duty employer reimburse the city for the pay
the officer receives if this officer is to have MLDP
defense and protection. The reimbursement is based
on the officer’s city wages as well as all benefits.
Those benefits will include, but not be limited to,
retirement, health premiums and other withholdings.
By following this new procedure, officers will still
be able to make extra money working off-duty jobs
while at the same time being protected by the MLDP.

League’s Web site at www.arml.org.

Restored historic ‘gem’ opens in Delta
The last-of-its-kind Lakeport Plantation has opened to the public and promises to boost
the local economy and increase our understanding of Arkansas’s agriculture-based
Delta heritage.
By Andrew Morgan, League staff
LAKE VILLAGE—Heritage tourism in Arkansas has
received a boost with the grand opening Sept. 28 of
the Lakeport Plantation, Arkansas’s only remaining
antebellum plantation home on the Mississippi River.
With the number of annual visitors to the plantation expected to top 6,000, the historic site will have
an especially strong and welcome impact on Lake
Village’s economy, Mayor JoAnne Bush said at the
opening ceremony.
Bush said the day officially marked the partnership between the city and Arkansas State University,
which restored the house.
“I’m looking forward to a long and prosperous
relationship with the Lakeport Plantation and ASU,”
Bush told the several hundred gathered for the
ribbon cutting on the historic house’s front lawn.
The plantation joins the Hemingway-Pfeiffer
Museum in Piggott and the Southern Tenant Farmers
Museum in Tyronza as one of three ASU off-campus
heritage sites. Lakeport will serve as a “living lab”
for PhD students of the school’s Heritage Studies
program.
The plantation’s inaugural visitors were treated
to an archeological and historical symposium, panel
discussions, demonstrations of restoration techniques
and a luncheon to celebrate the opening. In addition
to the restored house, the site is home also to a
museum and educational center.
The Sam Epstein Angel family donated the plantation to Arkansas State University in 2001. With
nearly $6 million in grants from sources as varied as
8
the state Legislature, the Arkansas Forestry Commission’s Urban Forestry Program, the Arkansas Natural
and Cultural Resources Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Save America’s
Treasures program, ASU began restoration efforts in
July 2002.
The two-story house stands just off state Highway
142, within sight of the U.S. Highway 82 bridge
over the Mississippi River and amid the modern cotton farms that surround Lake Village.
According to restoration team member Becky
Witsell of Little Rock’s Studio-Werk, it is unknown
exactly when the plantation was built or who built it,
but it was most likely constructed between 1858 and
1860. The plantation was home to Lycurgus and
Lydia Johnson, members of a politically prominent
family both regionally and nationally. Since the plantation has been used for cotton farming continuously
since 1831, it is crucial to our understanding of the
area’s agricultural development.
The plantation also is a key to understanding
the historical changes in the African American
experience in the region, from the slavery to sharecropper and tenant farmer systems, to agricultural
mechanization and mass exodus of blacks to the
North, to the role of laborers in the current agricultural economy.
Last occupied in 1972, Lakeport was named
to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974,
but the house fell into severe disrepair over the
course of nearly three decades of neglect.

Notes
Fayetteville merits
‘Blooms’
Fayetteville’s community-wide landscaping and environmental awareness has gained international attention, the Northwest Arkansas Times has reported.
The city received five awards—known as
Blooms—and a special mention for environmental
awareness during September’s Communities in
Bloom awards ceremony in Moncton, New
Brunswick, Canada.
Communities in Bloom is the international version
of America in Bloom. Communities from Canada,
the United States, England, Ireland and Scotland
were honored this year.
“This is not just about flowers,” said Cindi Cope,
who is co-chairman of Fayetteville’s America in
Bloom Committee. Cities are judged on eight criteria: tidiness, environmental awareness, community
involvement, heritage conservation, urban forest
management, landscaped areas, floral displays, and
turf and groundcovers. Fayetteville scored 805 out
of a possible 1,000 points.

Meeting at 11:30 a.m., Nov. 8, at League
headquarters in North Little Rock.
Conway is getting ready to spruce up with a newly
adopted, wide-ranging city ordinance that sets new
design standards for commercial, office and industrial
zoned areas across the city, the Arkansas DemocratGazette has reported.
The city council on Sept. 25 passed the standards—
some mandated, others just recommended—by unanimous vote.
“We have high hopes for the future of Conway,”
Mayor and former League President Tab Townsell said.
“We’ve seen its growth and ... we’re not going to let
that happen haphazardly. Tonight we took steps to mandate a better future.”
The new requirements touch on nearly every aspect
of the city’s appearance, from landscaping, to fencing,
to building materials. For instance, the city will prohibit
metal siding as a building’s primary façade when it’s
visible from the public right of way or residential areas.
“We’re getting away from metal boxes, and we’re
going to more sustainable materials like brick and mortar,” said Wes Craiglow, the city planner who was the
chief architect of the design standards.
The standards do not apply to Conway’s residential
areas, except for multifamily areas and apartment complexes. Pre-existing development will likely be exempt
from meeting all the new provisions but may have to
meet some of them, according to the ordinance.
The new ordinance is the second passed recently
by the city to improve Conway’s appearance. The city
also recently mandated that all new business signage
not exceed eight feet in height or a diameter of 64 feet.
“These are things that are happening coast to
coast,” Craiglow said. “It’s progressive planning.”

ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINIONS
Summaries of attorney general opinions
Recent opinions that affect municipal government in Arkansas
From the Office of Attorney General Dustin McDaniel
Education expenditures must be justified
Opinion:
2007-207
Requestor:
Carroll, Robin J.—
Prosecuting Attorney, 13th District
Is it a “legal city expenditure” for a city to pay educational expenses for its employees? Educational expenses
are defined as tuition, books and miscellaneous fees
which are not reimbursed by the employees. RESPONSE:
I am unable to answer this question in the abstract, given
that each city expenditure, including possible expenditures on employee training and education, must be assessed based upon its particular facts against the
standards discussed in my opinion. However, I believe
the policy would constitute an illegal exaction in violation of ACA16, Sec. 13 if it entailed automatically funding a city employee’s education, irrespective of whether
such funding was “indispensable” to the city’s operations
and primarily served a public purpose.
Association not a municipal service agency
Opinion:
2007-209
Requestor:
Bisbee, David—State Senator
Would the Bella Vista Property Owners Association, a
nonprofit corporation that provides water services to the
community of Bella Vista, constitute a “municipal service
agency” for purposes of assessing a development impact
fee under ACA 14-56-103? RESPONSE: No. The fact that
it performs certain functions that are associated with
municipalities does not make it a municipal service
agency for this purpose.
FOIA may apply to private entities
Opinion:
2007-210
Requestor:
Broadway, Shane—State Senator
If the advertising and promotion commission paid a vendor for a service on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce
for a certain event at a certain time, at what point, if any,
are the Chamber’s records and minutes no longer open
to public inspection under the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA)? RESPONSE: It is impossible to answer this
question fully without reference to all the facts. An initial
question arises as to the whether the FOIA is triggered in
the absence of direct public funding. I have set out some
discussion of the law surrounding the extent and duration of the Act’s applicability to private entities.
14
Councilmember may not serve
on A&P commission
Opinion:
2007-217
Requestor:
Hall, Clark—State Representative
Can a long-time member of the Helena A&P Commission, representing the food industry as a tax-paying entrepreneur, continue to serve on the Commission after
being elected to the city council? Q2) Who has the authority to remove this dual office holder? Q3) Is the A&P
Commission required to approve any request made by
the mayor? RESPONSE: Initially, I must note the difficulty in addressing this opinion request because of the
appended request you forwarded to this office. It appears
that the two questions pertinent to both requests for an
opinion are: 1) whether an individual who has been
elected to the city council may be appointed or re-appointed as a commissioner of an Advertising and Promotions (“A&P”) commission; and 2) what remedies are
available to remove a commissioner appointed in error to
an A&P commission. In my opinion, if an A&P commissioner has been elected to the city council, he or she may
not be appointed or re-appointed to the A&P commission pursuant to ACA 14-42-107(a)(2) (Supp. 2007)
while holding the office of city council member. In my
opinion, an A&P commissioner may only be removed by
one of three methods: a writ of quo warranto, an usurpation action, or an “illegal exaction” suit pursuant to Art.
16, sec. 3 of the Arkansas Constitution. See opinion for
discussion.
Commission has “considerable”
funding discretion
Opinion:
2007-221
Requestor:
Hall, Clark—State Representative
May the City of Helena-West Helena use Advertising and
Promotion (A&P) Commission funds to renovate and repair the bleachers and concession stand area of the Helena-West Helena High School? Q2) Does it make any
difference that the property to be improved is owned by
the Helena-West Helena School District and not the city
of Helena-West Helena? RESPONSE: Q1) A local A&P
commission has considerable discretion to commit funds
to encourage tourism and conventions in the city it
serves. The question of whether the proposed use of the
funds in this instance would fall within the commission’s
authority is one of fact that I am neither situated nor auCITY & TOWN
thorized to address. Q2) ACA 26-75-606(b)(2), which
addresses the financing by an A&P commission of “public recreation facilities” in the city or county, authorizes
such an expenditure only if the city “owns an interest in
the center or facility.” I question, however, whether the
legislature intended the referenced “facilities” to include
areas of the sort at issue here. Although the law on this
issue would benefit from legislative clarification, I believe
the proposed expenditures would pass muster if the A&P
commission reasonably concluded that they would promote tourism and/or conventions.
Both state and local codes govern clerk
Opinion:
2007-234
Requestor:
Brown, Jerry R.—State Representative
What are the powers and duties of a city clerk? Q2) Who
may modify the powers and duties of the city clerk? Q3)
Who may introduce an ordinance before the city council?
RESPONSE: With respect to Question One, the general
powers and duties of a city clerk are set forth in the
Arkansas Code, which I have recounted below. Additionally, any relevant local ordinance must be referenced to
determine the specific duties of a city clerk with respect
to a particular municipality. With respect to Question
Two, any applicable local ordinances may be modified by
the city council through ordinance while duties required
by state law may be modified by the General Assembly
through amendments to the applicable statutes. With respect to Question Three, absent a law or any local procedural rules, in my opinion general rules of parliamentary
procedure allow only members of the city council, in this
case the duly elected alderman or the mayor as ex officio
president of the council, to introduce motions on which
the body may act.
Sick leave info may be public under FOIA
Opinion:
2007-258
Requestor:
Milhollen, Mark D.—
CFO, Little Rock School District
Is the decision of the custodian of records to withhold release of an employee’s requested sick leave records, citing
a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, consistent with provisions of the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA)? RESPONSE: Not entirely. Leave records are
generally open to inspection and copying with any medical or other private information redacted. To the extent
the custodian’s decision denies access to the amount of
sick leave requested or taken, in my opinion the decision
is inconsistent with the FOIA.

City may sell property
Opinion:
2007-254
Requestor:
Reynolds, Lance—State Representative
Do provisions of ACA 14-42-108 present any problem to
the city of Heber Springs in conjunction with the sale of
real property and the structure thereon to a private corporation, considering that the private corporation has a
lease option to buy the property for a nominal monetary
consideration? Q2) Does any other Arkansas Code section or applicable law prevent the city of Heber Springs
from selling this property? RESPONSE: As stated in Op.
Att’y Gen. 2007-220, I have not reviewed the document
in question. The city must look to its city attorney or
other retained counsel for advice as to this transaction.
As a general matter, however, in my opinion ACA 14-42108 does not stand as a general barrier to the action described.

PLANNING TO SUCCEED
Shop Arkansas first
Before giving in to the often misguided allure of the out-of-state “Big Boys,”
consider the many capable local firms for those big hometown projects.
By Jim vonTungeln
here must be something titillating about an outof-state address that mesmerizes Arkansans. Anytime we get around a group of local engineers,
architects, landscape architects or other design
professionals, the talk turns to stories about losing contracts to national companies that didn’t know our state
existed until they received a request for proposals (RFP).
Local and state officials offer a number of reasons for
this. The most common is that the selected firm has been
around longer and must be more experienced in the type
of work needed. Sometimes this is true. Sometimes it is
not. Even when it is, the fact may be that state firms are less
experienced because they never get an opportunity to gain
experience. Know what? Frank Lloyd Wright had never
designed an art museum before the Guggenheim Museum
of Modern Art, the most famous in America.
A less flattering reason offered by one local engineer
is that Arkansans possess nothing short of a “Third World
mentality” that suggests our state is so backward that
nobody here could do justice to our own work. Ouch!
We have known of a couple of instances in which East
Coast firms won contracts because they promised local
staffers free trips to the big city to “see how things are really
done.” This also provides an opportunity for the local folks
to “rub shoulders with the Big Boys” during the project.
The most bizarre example of late of such “outsourcing”
involves an elected official who met a West Coast engineer
on an airliner and became enthralled to the point of insisting that his firm be hired for work back home instead of a
local company. The local firm specializes in the type work
involved and lists highly satisfied customers. Sorry.
What, we can hear you ask, does this have to do with
urban planning? Maybe, just maybe, it has quite a bit.
Home town folks become teary-eyed discussing the dream
of having jobs available locally for their kids when they
graduate from college. It seems there are always stories
of well-educated and valuable young people who, after
graduating, head to a big city in another state to find a job.
Wouldn’t it be great if they could land jobs in your
community? It seems to us that we spend millions (and
give away more in tax breaks) to attract new firms while we
neglect helping existing firms grow. How about considering that in our planning?
We are not suggesting that anyone lower their quality
standards by hiring in-state firms, simply that they deserve
T
16
a fair chance. One particularly troubling rejection letter
shared with us stated that the decision to hire from out of
state was a “difficult one.” Gee, where we come from, tough
decisions are decided in favor of the local folks. Go figure.
This attitude shows up often in civil engineering
projects. This seems odd since, as far as we know, there is
little difference in the water, wastewater, highways or dirt
in Arkansas that requires out-of-state expertise.
At a more highbrow level, we also tend to think we
lack artistic capabilities here in the Mid-South. Perhaps,
though, a state that could produce Thorncrown Chapel
near Eureka Springs, Heifer International Headquarters
in Little Rock, and Garvin Gardens in Hot Springs—all
designed by Arkansans—might house a meager share
of talent.
Or foresight. We love to tell the story about the time
that our capital city was in the early stages of thinking
about what became the Julius Breckling Riverfront Park.
A group paid the national “riverfront park guru” the
princely sum of $5,000 and flew him in for a day to enlighten the locals. He looked at the site from across the
river and saw a railroad, a county jail, a concrete plant, a
derelict manufacturing building and hundreds of empty
liquor bottles and announced, with that pompous tone
that out-of-state people sometimes have, “You don’t have
much to work with.” Then he took his $5,000 and left.
Well, the local yokels saw something else entirely and
the rest, as they say, is history.
Perhaps next time you look for professional help, you
will give the homefolks first chance. If truly specialized
help is needed, maybe the big-timers could be brought in
simply as advisors to the locals. Who knows? Maybe then
you won’t end up going to New York City to visit your
grandchildren.
Oh, by the way, our firm now lists offices in Cincinnati,
Ohio, and Washington, D.C. Not really; they’re just the
addresses of old war buddies, but don’t tell anyone.

ANIMAL CORNER
Dog bans affect rural areas too
Recent increases in breed-specific legislation will force cities and counties
without animal control to address that need.
By David Miles
he need for animal control and animal services
in rural areas is on the rise. Each month it
seems a different city has implemented some
form of breed-specific legislation.
The most common breeds being regulated are
American Pitbull Terriers, American Staffordshire
Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers and sometimes
American Bulldogs and Rottweilers. The higher the
percentage of these breeds within a given area, the
higher the number of attacks on humans and animals.
Breed-specific legislation is now forcing owners of
these breeds to relocate their animals elsewhere. Most
of them are taken out to rural areas or to cities that do
not regulate certain breeds of dogs. Most rural areas in
Arkansas have little if any animal control, and only a
handful of county animal control departments operate in
the state. This lack of rural services can lead to problems.
An animal control officer routinely encounters
people who live in rural areas. We get to hear the gruesome stories of attacks and neglect that go unpunished
because of the lack of animal control or animal services
in these areas. These people tell us how they have tried
to have people prosecuted only to hear, “There’s nothing
we can do!”
To some extent, that is true. Without trained animal
control officers, there is not much the local government
can do. On the other hand, it should be the cities’ and
counties’ responsibility to provide this service to residents and animals. At the very least, they should educate
existing personnel in the laws regarding animal care and
control. This would help ensure that the offenders who
T
18
need to be prosecuted are prosecuted.
In many cases, rural areas are also the main place
where organized dog fighting takes place. We’re not
talking about kids who get a “pit” and fight in the alleyway, but rather the professionals who fight dogs on a
large scale. Of course, where there is dog fighting, there
is drinking, drug use and sales, violence and gambling,
all things that over a period of time can degrade a
community.
As more cities pass breed-specific legislation, the
problems in unregulated rural areas will increase. It will
be up to the officials in each city and county to decide
best how to handle this growing problem. Will communities without animal control take the steps necessary to
combat what is heading their way? Only time will tell.
Enforcing breed-specific legislation may also affect
municipalities. Although cities may be ridding themselves of problems related to these breeds, they may be
passing the problems on to other areas. Hopefully cities
that enact such legislation will be willing to assist areas
without animal control with their animal problems. We
are all in this together. We have a responsibility to take
steps to adequately enforce animal control laws and
issues within our own communities. Our residents
and animals deserve it.

SISTER CITIES INTERNATIONAL
Sidestep cultural missteps
Understanding international protocol is essential when developing sister city relationships
and doing international business.
By Sherman Banks
efore continuing to discuss how to use your
sister city in developing the most common
methods for market research for international
business, it is important to consider crosscultural adaptability in doing international business.
Understanding international protocol is a necessity.
As you contemplate developing a sister city relationship
or just doing international business, ask yourself this
question: Do you know how to relate effectively in
today’s multicultural society? How knowledgeable are
you, your colleagues or your staff at communicating with
other cultures, either geographically, in your workforce
or in your community? Developing a sister city relationship is an initial step, but that alone will not give you the
necessary tools to be effective. If you are equipped with
the basics when you begin your efforts, the road will be
less bumpy.
The Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory (CCAI)
developed by Colleen Kelly and Judith Meyers is a highly
effective tool that can help communities and organizations address these issues. Through their research on
cross-cultural effectiveness they have concluded that
there are four components of cross-cultural success:
emotional resilience, flexibility, perceptual acuity and
personal autonomy. For more information about CCAI,
contact the National Computer Systems, P.O. Box 1416,
Minneapolis, MN 55440; or call 1-800-627-7271.
Globalization has made cross-border business more
common than ever for American business. However,
deals are often compromised or lost when foreign associates are offended by a representative’s lack of awareness
of a country’s customs or manners. Building a relationship with a sister city in the country where you plan to
do business can help, but it won’t guarantee you’ll avoid
making faux pas in international protocol. These must be
learned as you develop your sister city relationship.
Blunders in etiquette are committed unconsciously
while traveling, meeting a foreigner or communicating
on the telephone or Internet. No one is immune from
making mistakes when it comes to international protocol. Consider the following foreign etiquette tips that
may help you avoid embarrassment abroad:
• In Argentina, it is considered in poor taste to ask
people what they do for a living. You should wait
for them to offer that information.
B
20
• In Bahrain, impatience is considered an insult. If
tea is offered, always accept.
• In Cambodia, the head is considered sacred, therefore never touch or pass anything over the head.
• In China (Little Rock has a sister city in China), as
in most Asian cultures, avoid waving or pointing
chopsticks, putting them vertically in a rice bowl or
tapping them on the bowl, which is considered
extremely rude.
• In France (Little Rock has a friendship city in
France), remain calm, polite and courteous while
doing business. Avoid being overly friendly—
this creates suspicion—and never ask personal
questions.
• In Egypt, exposing the soles of your feet or crossing
your legs while sitting is an insult. Giving the
thumbs-up sign is regarded as obscene.
• In Mexico, while visiting the home of a business
associate, never bring up business unless the
associate does. (Little Rock also has a sister city
in Mexico.)
• In Japan (Hot Springs has a sister city in Japan),
avoid writing on a business card or shoving the
card into your back pocket when you are in the
presence of the giver. This act is considered
disrespectful. Make sure that you hold the card
with both hands and read it carefully.
Let’s talk briefly about the CCAI’s four components
of cross-cultural success. Emotional resilience is the ability to bounce back after difficulties or a setback. As you
develop sister city relationships, you are crossing cultures,
so it is common to feel frustrated and confused as you
learn the proper protocol.
Flexibility and openness suggest a tolerance for
ambiguity and openness to new experiences. As you
travel abroad to your sister city, you will frequently
encounter ideas or behavior different from your own.
This kind of flexibility and openness is required as you
forge ahead with your sister city relationship and draw
from the wisdom of all the people and cultures in the
process of creating foreign business connections, taking
risks and drawing conclusions.
Perceptual acuity is the ability to understand other
cultures’ unfamiliar or confusing expressions, assumptions, body language, customs and values. It is important

to demonstrate empathy and develop an understanding

Personal autonomy means having a strong sense
of awareness and acceptance of one’s self as a valuable
and unique individual. In a foreign culture you may not
see the reactions and reinforcement to which you are
accustomed. When interacting with people who have
different ethnic or racial backgrounds, gender, age or
sexual preference, your own self worth can be put to the
test. Even so, it must remain strong for an individual or
the development of sister city relationship to succeed.
These four key components of cross-cultural adaptability are essential for success in the 21st century. Learning the customs and culture of your sister city or a
foreign country shows respect for our differences, which
is vitally important to enhancing your sister city relationship so that it develops viable economic, cultural and educational ties.

ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE
Keeping our water drinkable
Monitoring contaminant levels in municipal water systems keeps our drinking water safe
and clean and is especially important as new man-made, “volatile organics,” such as
MTBE, threaten Arkansas water sources.
By A.E. (Al) Johnson Jr.
ost cities in Arkansas are fortunate to have
good, clean, contaminant-free, odorless
drinking water. Our most serious drinking
water issues are generally confined to
elevated amounts of iron or water hardness due to a
water source being exposed to limestone formations
underground. We might occasionally have a sediment
or taste problem.
The source for municipal water systems in Arkansas
is either surface impoundment (lakes and streams) or
deep wells that obtain water from subsurface aquifers.
Mother Nature takes care of most natural pollutants.
As water filters down through the substrate, it is purified
with virtually all natural pollutants being extracted. Surface evaporation, condensation and rainfall also aid the
purification process, provided air pollution levels are low.
In 1988 the federal government, in an effort to improve drinking water quality and safety, issued national
primary and secondary drinking water standards.
The primary drinking water standard set limits for
microbial content, surface water turbidity and inorganic
and organic contaminants. Some of the contaminants
listed include lead, “2,4-D” pesticide, benzene and vinyl
chloride, all of which are known to present health risks
to humans.
The secondary drinking water standard lists contaminants that are considered objectionable to humans,
including color, iron, odor and pH.
Municipal water systems comply by regularly monitoring water quality and producing a consumer confidence report that makes available information about
the system, its source and compliance with national
standards.
Of the contaminants monitored, eight are classified
as volatile organic compounds. These volatile organics,
such as carbon tetrachloride, are man-made.
Recently, another volatile organic compound has
M
22
appeared on the scene: methyl tertiary-butyl ether, generally referred to as MTBE. This product is manufactured
by petroleum refineries and is used as an oxidizing additive in gasoline. The additive improves combustion,
thereby reducing emissions that pollute the air. Even
though MTBE does not appear on the national primary
drinking water standard list of contaminants, it is capable
of affecting the taste and odor of drinking water in concentrations as low as one part per billion. Other volatile
organics listed have maximum allowable limits of five
parts per billion.
MTBE has an affinity for water; it resists biodegradation and is therefore capable of remaining in the water
supply for an extended period of time and can travel
through an aquifer without appearing in the water supply for several years after a gasoline release or spill.
Over the past five years, many private and public
water supplies in Arkansas have detected MTBE near or
above the one part per billion range. A contaminant such
as MTBE can drastically affect a water system and is very
costly to remove.
Every metered water consumer in the state pays a
monthly fee to the Department of Health and Human
Services for the purpose of testing potable water and
ensuring that the water supply is compliant with federal
standards. If the taste or odor of your drinking water
changes, or if you suspect a problem, contact the engineering division of DHHS for water testing assistance.
Don’t take quality drinking water for granted!

with member cities and towns for one on-site
consultation a year as a service of your Arkansas
Municipal League.
CITY & TOWN
Notice
Don’t let your
wastewater permit expire
he Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ)
wants to ensure that all municipalities have NPDES water
permits that are up to date and reissued within required
timeframes.
NPDES permits are issued for a term not to exceed five years.
Permits must be renewed before they expire for a discharge to continue. When complete NPDES reissuance applications are received in a
timely manner, the existing permit remains in effect until a final decision is made on the reissuance of the permit. This allows the existing
permit conditions to continue past the expiration date even if ADEQ
does not reissue the permit before it expires.
To begin the renewal process, a permittee must submit a
complete renewal application to ADEQ at least 180 days prior to the
permit’s expiration date. In some circumstances, ADEQ may allow a
renewal application to be submitted at a later date, but in no case can
a renewal application be submitted past the permit’s expiration date.
Requests for an extension of the application due date must be made
during the 180-day period referenced above.
Submission of an incomplete application 180 days or more
before the permit expiration date does not satisfy the reapplication
requirement. For these situations, the permit will not continue in effect
past the expiration date if ADEQ does not reissue the permit before the
present permit expires. Check to make sure all of the required information is provided with the reissuance application. This includes the
proper application form with any sampling data required, Form 1,
Form 2A, and Form PPS for major facilities, the sludge supplement
and the location supplement.
ADEQ sends letters to permittees reminding them of their application due dates. The appropriate NPDES applications and supplemental forms needed to reapply are included with the reminder letters.
The reminder letters are sent to permittees 270-365 days prior to the
expiration dates of their permits. This gives permittees a 90-120 day
notice of their application due dates. Please note that these reminder
letters are provided only as a courtesy and, if for some reason a permittee does not receive a reminder letter, the permittee is still required to
submit a timely and complete renewal application.
A second notice is sent to applicants who do not apply 30 days
before the application due date. If you receive a second notice, you are
in danger of being late. When a permit is not reissued before the expiration date, the discharge cannot legally continue until a new permit is
issued, unless allowed by an enforcement order.
For more information on NPDES permit issuance or renewal,
please contact Mo Shafii, the supervisor of the Permits Section in the
Water Division of ADEQ, at 501-682-0616 or by e-mail at
[email protected].

injury to the tree from cold weather.
Topping has no effect on reducing a tree’s potential for
falling on a structure. In fact, topping may increase the
risk by weakening a healthy tree. All of the new growth
after a severe topping is weakly attached and will be more
likely to fall in high winds or an ice storm.
Topping won’t re-invigorate a tree. In the immediate
area of the injury, there will be lot of vigorous upright
growth at the expense of the tree’s stored food. This ultimately weakens the plant. Additionally, the large wounds
invite fungal infections, which cause decay and promote
tree rot. Once the rot gets inside, the tree is a goner.
Remember that a 30-year-old tree has exactly the
right amount of leaf area to support 30 years worth of
wood. Once you alter that, you’re harming your tree. In
short, topping reduces a tree’s lifespan.
Maybe you’re not convinced by physiological arguments that topping is a bad thing. If so, consider this:

When our communities experience severe weather
and have to pay for tree cleanup, topped trees are more
likely to contribute to the problem because of their poor
health and weak wood, so topping costs everyone money.
Once a tree is topped, it’ll never be the same. Encourage your neighbors to leave their trees alone and tell
them that topping is not needed. If canopy work is
needed, only crown thinning should be performed.
Cities and communities should regulate tree services
and protect public trees. Several Arkansas cities already
have tree ordinances.
I want to thank the Cooperative Extension Service
for the use of this article. For more information about
trees, contact your county extension agent. The Cooperative Extension Service is part of the University of
Arkansas Division of Agriculture.
For more information on how to properly prune
trees and about tree topping, visit the Arkansas Forestry

YOUR HEALTH
UAMS family medicine reaches
across Arkansas
Thanks to strong legislative support and a successful UAMS resident training program,
many of the state’s medical students choose family medicine and opt to continue to serve
Arkansas communities after graduation.
By Charles O. Cranford, D.D.S., M.P.A., and Geoffrey Goldsmith, M.D., M.P.H.
or most Arkansans, a trip to their personal physician means going to a primary care provider. In
Arkansas, a family medicine physician often provides primary care. Fortunately for people in our
state, traveling to the nearest family physician doesn’t take
very long. But it hasn’t always been that way.
Smaller towns and communities outside Little Rock in
1970 were desperate for family physicians. The University
of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), with support
from the Legislature and Gov. Dale Bumpers, became the
catalyst for a robust family medicine training program that
today is the envy of the country.
F
Leaders took action
During a special session of the state Legislature in
1972, public funds were invested to strengthen the UAMS
family medicine residency program and to support a rural
practice student loan fund.
With a strong family medicine program base on the
UAMS campus, state leaders invested additional funds in
1973 to establish five Area Health Education Centers, or
AHECs. Today, those inaugural UAMS AHECs contain
clinics for both insured and uninsured patients and provide the three years of residency necessary for medical
school graduates to become family medicine physicians.
UAMS now has seven family medicine residency training
programs, one in Little Rock at UAMS and six in AHECs
throughout the state. The AHECs with residency training
are in El Dorado, Fayetteville/Springdale, Fort Smith,
Jonesboro, Pine Bluff and Texarkana.
Public-private partnership
The AHEC education programs emphasize family
medicine based care, which provides medical care for the
whole family. Like all of UAMS’ contributions to health
care, its ability to provide the best in primary health care is
a tribute to many outstanding public-private partnerships,
including local family physicians who are volunteer teachers, and hospitals in communities where the family medi26
cine residencies reside.
UAMS’ Department
of Family and Preventive
Medicine embraces the collaborative linkage between the university and family physicians within the
community. More than 200 private
practice physician volunteers throughout the state help teach its residents and
medical students and participate in the
department’s research. Many are UAMS
graduates.
Training future family physicians is
labor intensive and would not be possible without support
of the local hospitals, volunteers in many medical specialties and state funding. More than 500 volunteer physicians
serve the AHEC program. Less than one-third of the program’s budget comes from the state, while the remainder
comes from professional fees generated by faculty and residents within the training program, gifts, local support,
grants and hospital support.
Doctors make Arkansas home
As a result of the bonds established during their
residencies, many family medicine physicians decide
to stay in the communities in which they served their
residencies. Indeed, Arkansas retains the majority of its
family medicine residency training graduates to practice in
the state, many of whom practice in rural and underserved
communities.
Nationally recognized asset
The AHEC program has been recognized nationally as
the recipient of the Eugene S. Mayer Award for Program
Excellence. The Department of Family and Preventive
Medicine has been recognized every year since 1989 by the
American Academy of Family Physicians as one of the top
medical school programs in the country based on the percentage of graduates who enter family medicine. UAMS

The Key to Your Child’s Mental Health.
© Advent Media Group 2007
A
s parents, it’s difficult to watch a
child going through tough times.
How long should you muddle
through on your own, supporting
your child as best you can? At what point
does concerning behavior cross the line into
scary behavior?
Questions bring more questions: “If I
take my child for mental health help, will he
be on drugs for the rest of his life? Will she
be doomed to carry a label throughout her
school years? Where will it end?
David Streett, MD, offers words of
reassurance: “Most of the kids we treat are
just briefly deviating from their normal,
healthy developmental path. If they get
help early on, chances are they’ll never need
it again.”
This father of three is a psychiatrist
specializing in the care of children and
adolescents. He serves as the Medical
Director at Pinnacle Point Behavioral
HealthCare System, Little Rock’s premier
provider of outpatient and inpatient mental
health services for children and teenagers.
Most kids, he says, will do fine with
outpatient treatment. Therapy and perhaps
medication will get them back on track.
“The key,” he says, “is early intervention.”
Pointing out that most parents wouldn’t
hesitate to seek treatment for a child’s
possibly-broken limb, Dr. Streett urges
parents to trust their instincts. “If you
think something is wrong, do something
about it,” he advises. “Call us. One of our
professionals will provide a free assessment
of your child’s behavioral health and
recommend an appropriate level of service.”
innacle Pointe offers
free, confidential
assessment and
referral services 24
hours a day, 7 days a week as a
community service. Dr. Streett
suggests that parents seek help if
a child exhibits:
• Aggression toward other
children
• An inability to cope with
feelings
• Frequent crying
• Pleas for help
• Fears of everyday things
and/or possible disasters
such as the deaths of family
members
• No interest in playing
• Isolation
• Discussions of death and
dying; statements like “I wish
I were dead.”
• Trouble sleeping
• Sexually provocative
behavior
• Self-mutilation
• Harm to animals
• Unusual weight gain or loss
• Drug or alcohol use
