Three-man race for mayor, 4 contested council races in ES Lovely County Citizen
Eureka Springs voters will have some decisions to make as they go to the polls for the November general election. Mayor Butch Berry is seeking re-election against two challengers, and there are four contested City Council races. Theodore Cottingham and Mike Seals are the challengers aiming to unseat Berry, who is seeking a second term as the city’s top official. Two of the contested city council races include incumbents seeking re-election. Longtime alderman Terry McClung is being challenged by Joyce Knowles, while incumbent Melissa Greene is being challenged by former alderman James DeVito. Sara Mayes also filed as a
candidate for Greene's seat, but election coordinator Sherry Cochrane said Tuesday that election officials were unable to certify enough signatures from registered voters to include Mayes' name on the ballot. Eric Knowles and Harry Meyer are candidates for another council seat, while another seat is up for grabs between Caitlin Branaman, Susan Harman and Tracy Johnson. Alderwoman Mickey Schneider and alderman Bob Thomas are unopposed in their re-election bids. City attorney Tim Weaver and city clerk Ann Armstrong are also unopposed for re-election. The general election will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Early voting will begin on Oct. 22 and continue through Nov. 5.

County officials see limited mental health services in are By Alex Gladden Carroll County News
There are three mental health facilities in Carroll County, which local officials acknowledge is not nearly enough to serve the county’s population. Under a new state law, Washington County will use state money to establish a crisis stabilization unit, a place where police officers can take people who are experiencing mental health crises. The unit will serve Carroll, Madison, Washington and Benton counties. This means that Carroll County will have access to this service in addition to the other facilities. But the unit will have 16 beds to serve four counties, and Carroll County officials fear it will immediately fill up solely with Washington County patients, limiting its use for Carroll County. The unit will be located in the Washington County Judicial Annex in Fayetteville, across the street from the county courthouse, Washington County Judge Joseph Wood said. He said he hopes to open the crisis stabilization unit in mid-October. Officers will then be able to begin bringing patients to the unit. Eureka Springs Police Chief Thomas Achord said he thinks the program could help Carroll County residents if legislators continue to expand it. If they do not “it’s putting a new paint job on an old car, basically.” He said he hopes they add more beds to the unit or create additional facilities. “It will be good for us, and we are looking forward to it,” Berryville Police Chief Robert Bartos said. “Unfortunately, I think it’ll probably fill up overnight, and they may not have the room to deal with it.” Green Forest Police Chief John Bailey agreed with his fellow police chiefs. “I just wish that we could push our legislators to create some or find the funding that

for offering care at the unit, Wood said. He said he hopes this will mean the unit will be able to connect people with mental health problems to Ozark Guidance’s outpatient services, allowing for a more long-term solution.
A very real need
The responsibility for mental health care began to fall on police departments after President John F. Kennedy started closing mental hospitals, places that were renowned for their abusive tactics, in the early 1960s. He moved to replace these hospitals with Community Mental Health Centers in an effort to create more outpatient mental health care. But many states did not back his plan, leaving people with mental health problems with nowhere to go. These people sometimes became homeless. About a third of people who are homeless have serious, untreated mental illnesses, according to research compiled by the Treatment Advocacy Center. They also often are arrested on petty crimes associated with having mental illnesses, like loitering or disturbing the peace, linking them to the criminal justice system. Today in Arkansas, the odds of a person with a mental illness being in a jail or prison as opposed to being in a hospital are 3.3 to 1, according to the Treatment Advocacy Center. Arkansas’ new law establishing crisis stabilization units is meant to counteract this. The unit will allow patients to stay for a maximum of 72 hours with the goal of stabilization. Washington County officials are looking to the Endeavor Foundation to fund the renovations to the Judicial Annex, where the unit will be, as the state only allotted money toward the operation of the unit, Wood said. Patients will have to voluntarily go to the unit, and Fayetteville’s Ozark Guidance Counseling branch will be responsible
The new law mandates that all police departments send 20 percent of their workforces to Crisis Intervention Training, where officers learn to communicate with people with mental health problems. Brian Young, the assistant Eureka Springs police chief, attended CIT, and he said he plans to send an additional officer as well. At CIT, he learned how to identify different types of mental health disorders and how to de-escalate situations that involve mentally ill people. “You’re there to help them get the help that they need,” Young said. In communicating with people with mental health problems, Young learned to use similar tactics to those he learned in negotiations, including that he must remain calm. “If you’re calm, they’ll eventually become calm,” Young said. Young will be responsible for transporting people to the unit once it opens, as CIT officers are the only people who are allowed to do so. Young thinks the unit will be helpful, but he said it might be even more helpful to have more services in the Carroll County area. Not only is he concerned that the Washington County stabilization unit will fill up, excluding Carroll County from using it, Carroll County police departments will have to pay officers to transport patients to the unit, which could get expensive. Young said he thinks the state needs a more longterm solution to help people.
Robert Parke, an outpatient counselor at the Berryville Ozark Guidance branch, also sees the need for more mental health services. “Mental illness is more common than people realize,” Parke said. The No. 1 diagnosis for Ozark Guidance is depression, and the No. 2 diagnosis is bipolar disorder, Parke said. “You end up putting people in jail that actually need mental health,” Berryville Mayor Tim McKinney said. County and city governments look to the state for support for mental health issues, and the support is not there, McKinney said. “It bothers me that they seem to have fallen through the cracks,” Green Forest Mayor Charlie Reece said. Reece is also the chairman of Boston Mountain Rural Health Center’s board of directors, and he said it can be extremely difficult to recruit health professionals, including those for mental health, to rural areas. “We get out here in a rural setting, and it’s hard to get people the help they need,” Bailey said. Eureka Springs Mayor Butch Berry also agreed that there should be more services. Bailey said that people often don’t get help for mental health problems because of the social stigma surrounding the issue. “It’s too easy to label someone crazy, and there’s that stigma that crazy is wrong,” Bailey said. “People just need to understand that people sometimes have problems, but we don’t know or fully understand how to address those problems, so it’s almost like mental health is taboo. It’s a thing that most people don’t want to discuss. Most people don’t want to know that a person is depressed.”

JPs approve 1st reading of vote center proposal By Scott Loftis CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
Carroll County voters may soon be able to cast their ballots at any polling site they choose in the November general election, regardless of where they live. The Carroll County Quorum Court on Monday night passed the first reading of a proposed ordinance that would establish “vote centers” for all elections in the county. The proposal will require two more readings and a final vote before becoming law. The vote center plan would allow any registered voter in the county to cast a ballot at any polling place in the county on election day — for instance, a voter who lives in Berryville but works in Eureka Springs could vote in Eureka Springs, or vice versa. “I think it’s a great idea,” said District 1 Justice of the Peace Jack Deaton. “People work at one end of the county and try to get off work and get to the other end of the county to vote. A lot of people don’t vote because of that.” If the proposal is adopted, the county will have a total of six vote centers. The proposed ordinance was approved by a vote of 7-0 at Monday’s meeting. JPs Craig Hicks, Don McNeely, Matt Phillips and Lamont Richie were absent. In other business, JPs: • Approved a resolution appoint-
ing Kathy Beahm, Robert Rokeby, C. Lewis Jones, Kevin Creedon and Carol LaRose to serve as commissioners of The Bluffs at Jackson Cove Subordinate Service District; • Approved an amended resolution authorizing County Judge Sam Barr to execute the necessary documents to renew a line of credit with Equity Bank in Berryville for one year in the name of the Carroll County Airport Commission, after JPs unanimously approved amending the resolution from its original wording, which called for a twoyear renewal; • Approved a resolution authorizing the quorum court to enter a grant agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration to construct an “Installation of Visual Aids Project” at the Carroll County Airport; • Approved a supplemental appropriation ordinance to appropriate $1,680 from the county’s general fund for the Northwest Arkansas Economic Development District; • Approved a supplemental appropriation ordinance transferring a total of $6,500 from the county’s general fund to pay for ongoing repairs at the Eastern District Courthouse and computer upgrades in the county judge’s office; • approved a supplemental appropriations ordinance transferring $4,500 from the county’s general fund to pay
for the installation of a new phone system in the east courthouse annex for the county assessor, collector and treasurer; • and approved rescheduling next month’s meeting from Sept. 17 to Sept. 24. All of the votes were 7-0. During the period of the meeting reserved for JPs’ comments, District 7 JP Noreen Watson discussed several points from a statewide meeting that she recently attended. Deaton said he met recently with Sam Ward, who is overseeing the transition of the county’s 911 and central dispatch operations from the eastern district courthouse to the complex that houses the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office and detention center. Deaton said he expects that move to be made as soon as the first week of September. Chief deputy prosecuting attorney Devon Still, who has served as legal counsel for the quorum court, told the JPs that she has accepted a position in Boone County and that Monday would be her final quorum court meeting. Still said she has been with the prosecuting attorney’s office for 13 years. She said deputy prosecuting attorney Craig Parker likely will assume the role of legal counsel for the quorum court. The quorum court’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 24, in the courtroom of the Carroll County Eastern District Courthouse in Berryville.

The Eureka Springs School District advised last Monday that its Granny Fund has been depleted. The Granny Fund has been used to pay for school meals for children who cannot pay them. In 2016, the Granny Fund spent $3,100 to feed local children, and spent $4,600 in 2017.
Breakfast meals cost $1.25 each, with lunch meals costing $2.25. Meals are slightly more costly at the high school level. It can cost a parent of two elementary or middle school children as much as $154 to feed them for one month. So far, Eurekans have donated $1,412
to build the fund back up. The goal is to reach $4,600. If you’d like to donate to the fund, drop it off to Jay Wilks at The Jewelry Show downtown or at Cornerstone Bank. You can also mail it to the school at 147 Green Wood Hollow Road in Eureka Springs. Be sure to specify the donation is for the Granny Fund.

Hospital commission gives Allegiance 90-day deadline to evaluate plans By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs Hospital Commission is waiting on Allegiance Health Management before moving forward with proposed renovations. On Monday afternoon, the commission voted to give Allegiance 90 days to evaluate four proposed plans for the renovations. Chairman Michael Merry said Diane Adler of Bates Architects will be meeting with Allegiance CEO Rock Bordelon in Shreveport, La., to discuss the proposed plans, saying he’s not sure when the commission will receive Allegiance’s input. “They were wanting to put us off until they concluded other business, so I don’t really think their lack of immediate response is any serious threat right now,” Merry said. Commissioner Barbara Dicks said she thought Bordelon planned to come to Eureka Springs to talk about the project, and Merry said that was the original plan. “But that was 90 days ago, and who knows
what has changed since then?” Merry said. Commissioner John House said he looked over the four proposals and prefers Option D, which would cost $13.5 million and maintain the 1929 building. House said he’s not sure the hospital needs a geriatric psychiatric facility, which Allegiance requested to be included in the proposed plans. Still, House said, Option D is the best choice for the future of the hospital. “It is the most affordable, and it allows for future expansion,” House said. “I’m inclined to agree, because that option maintains the character of the external building better than any other option,” Merry said. “That’s really a critical point to most of the folks in town.” House said he recently re-read the commission’s lease with Allegiance and found a few problems. A wall is close to falling off the surgical unit, House said, and the refrigeration doesn’t always work. “They are required to keep the building in full working order,” House said. “I’m very

concerned about that issue.” House asked how long the commission had to wait until Allegiance gave input on the proposed plans, and Merry said he wasn’t sure. There needs to be a timeline, House said, even if that means the project falls through. “At some point, Bates is going to say, ‘We’re going to close this project, because we’re not moving forward,’ ” House said. “We need to have an answer from Allegiance, and if they’re not willing to do it, then we shelve it and start making them fix the things that need to be fixed.” House moved to give Allegiance 90 days to report to the commission, and the commission agreed to do so. House said he’s still optimistic about the project. “I think it’s going to be wonderful for our hospital and our community. I really do,” House said. The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 17, at the ECHO community room.

THE
Muscle medicine
I’ve never written about glycine. As I think about it, that is probably because glycine is used by bodybuilders to improve muscle mass. Well, we don’t have a lot of bodybuilders in Eureka Springs and even fewer who come to my store. The products bodybuilders use tend to be pretty pricey, so that is another reason for not being too interested in glycine. But I’ve been wrong to overlook this amazing and safe amino acid. It isn’t expensive, either. When I did a PubMed search at https:// www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=glycine, I found 78,229 pages of 20 studies per page that touched upon glycine, of course not all looking at human consumption. It has been well studied and is considered safe except for people who take prescribed drugs such as clozapine. Check with your MD. It comes in a powder and a capsule, both being pharmaceutical grade. It is not expensive and I think using 3 grams per day especially at bedtime is a good thing (this is what I do). The powder has a sweet flavor and can be taken straight up or mixed in a
smoothie. Oddly, out of 78,229 pages on PubMed there is very little saying what glycine is good Jim Fain for. It is used for a very long list of ailments, however. According to a web search I found this: muscle growth from exercise and reducing wasting, boosts mental performance, helps prevent strokes and seizures, creates collagen benefiting skin and joint cartilage, lowers risk for type 2 diabetes, improves sleep, helps rebuild GI tract lining, elevates energy by boosting red blood cells, helps control seizures, schizophrenia and bipolar depression and calms while dropping anxiety. I use about 3 grams at bedtime for sleep improvement. I’ve replaced theanine and melatonin at this point with the glycine. I’ve not personally found a negative, at least the way I use this supplement. Slow to jump on this supplement for sure I’ve been so I’m thankful to a local for bringing it to my attention.
