Protect and Serve:
New sheriff on track to fulfill campaign promises By Alana Cook
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
New Carroll County Sheriff Randy Mayfield and his right-hand-man, Chief Deputy Maj. George Frye, are wasting no time getting down to business. Just a month on the job, the duo is working overtime to fulfill promises they made to Carroll County citizens on the campaign trail. While busy with meetings and the daily tasks of running a law enforcement operation that polices a county of 27,000 people, Mayfield greets people in his lobby with a smile, ready to fulfill the expectations of those whom his office serves and protects. Mayfield and Frye say their efforts are already paying off, both inside and outside the office. “Morale at the sheriff’s office is high,” Mayfield and Frye said. Mayfield glances at a photo on his desk of wife Kristi, smiles, and reaches into his pocket. He pulls out a tattered copy of a pocket Constitution. “This is what I go by.” But, he doesn’t stop there. With charm, Mayfield explains how he and Frye plan on making good on their promises. “Our focus is on providing good customer service,” Mayfield said. Frye agrees. “We have weekly staff meetings and monthly deputy meetings to maintain communication between the various units of the sheriff’s office,” Frye said. Frye, a veteran law enforcement officer who stands well over six feet, has a gentle giant spirit and a no-compromise attitude when it comes to ethics. During the campaign, Frye emphasized the importance of cooperation and showed up at community events when Mayfield was on duty with the Berryville police department. To help keep things from falling through the cracks, the duo will soon begin monthly meetings with county constables to help build relationships and foster communication between law enforcement agencies. “We will also be cross-sharing information better with the prosecutor and courts
and it will be a lot more accurate, which is something unique and new,” Mayfield said. And, they plan on making those changes stick. “We have rebuilt the relationships with the other police departments in the county and are putting Memoranda of Understanding in place with the other departments so that deputies and officers can provide backup to each other,” Frye said. Domestic violence Mayfield and Frye have been meeting with local law enforcement, judges and prosecutors to educate them about the lethality assessment, which is a one-page questionnaire officers use when responding to a domestic violence calls. The assessment, which is modeled after one Frye used during his 25year tenure at the Tulsa Police Department, helps officers determine whether the victim is in imminent danger of being physically harmed so officers can get the victim to a safe place. Frye, who retired from the Tulsa force before joining the CCSO team, said officers could begin using the assessment as early as next week. To facilitate their new initiatives, Det. Corp. Mark Bailey, who also handles most of CCSO’s sex crimes investigations, will also head up domestic abuse investigations. “He has the personality to handle being the domestic abuse investigator,” Mayfield said of Bailey new duties. Staffing changes Mayfield has also done some re-arranging within the department, which is staffed with six CID officers, 14 deputies and 29 detention officers, 11 dispatchers, and several other part-timers. Former Patrol Sgt. Lt. John Contreras replaced former Lt. Mike Zimmerman as the new patrol commander. Zimmerman was re-assigned to the detention center as a detention officer and has been on medical leave since New Year’s Eve. Frye said that Danny Hickman, former Boone County Sheriff and State Coordinator for Jail Standards, will report to him as the new Jail Commander, beginning next Monday.

Sheriff Randy Mayfield said he is working hard to serve Carroll County citizens and build relationships with the courts and other law enforcement agencies.
Capt. Alan Hoos, who was the Chief Deputy and acting Jail Commander before Mayfield took office, has resigned. New deputy Ashley Deatherage, a law student, replaced former deputy Joel Hand as the new CID investigator. Hand pleaded guilty last week to third-degree domestic battery charges stemming from a Nov. 30 arrest involving his live-in girlfriend. The conviction prevents him from possessing firearms, effectively ruling out any future employment as a law enforcement officer. New deputy Justin Snyder lives in and will patrol Oak Grove. Frye said Corp. Sam Dunham is assigned to the west side of Carroll County and will focus primarily on Holiday Island, while deputy Lance Clark is assigned to the east side. Other changes The duo is also moving the focus of enforcing traffic laws on state highways to focusing on enforcing traffic laws within the county. “Deputies were not making arrests on the highways, so it wasn’t needed,” Mayfield said. Instead of having a CCSO dive team, which a local emergency responder said was costly and redundant, one certified diver will participate with the Tri-County Dive Unit to help with recovery. Mayfield said the K-9 program is inactive until final disposition is determined for
the dogs. “If we do get another K-9, it will be a drug dog, and not an officer protection dog like the last one, which requires monthly training with bite gear,” he said. Mayfield said he plans to “rely as little as possible” on other local governments for funding. “The jail was operating at 90 percent capacity and now it is at 60 percent and we want to keep it that way,” he said. According to last year’s budget, it costs about $43 million to operate the sheriff’s office and detention center. To help lower costs, the sheriff’s office is also considering choosing from three food and three phone service vendors to provide services to inmates. When asked whether they plan to make any arrests in a backlog of unsolved murders, including the 2011 murders of 25-yearold Jason Lee Johnson and 19-year-old Rebecca Sisk in Oak Grove, Mayfield said that they “are working hard to bring justice to the victims,” but was unable to give any further details. Mayfield and Frye said they encourage citizens who have crime tips to call the CCSO, or use the MobilePatrol app, which also gives emergency alerts, jail bookings, VINE notifications, arrest warrants, and lists most-wanted persons and sex offenders.

A favorite body part returns to the stage By David Frank Dempsey “The Vagina Monologues” stage play is set to return to the Aud for a one-night-only performance 7 p.m., Saturday, March 21. Janet Alexander will direct the celebrated play by Eve Ensler here as it was 10 years ago. When asked what is was like directing an all-female cast, aside from the subject matter, Alexander said, “The bonding exercises we did almost immediately created a very strong and supportive ensemble feeling.” She has worked since childhood on between 70 and 80 stage productions in almost every aspect including acting, set designing, lighting, production, script writing and directing. Alexander is also known as Eureka Janet for her metal art that is shown in four galleries. “It’s a great pleasure to be working on this production again. Since directing its first, and only, theatrical production in Eureka Springs I’ve had many people ask if we could do it again,” Alexander said. “Well, it’s happening, and I’m so very excited…for many reasons, the cause is great, the script is fitting, and the unblinking support of many of the original players and the community at large is very encouraging. We are going to have such fun while raising awareness for such a vital new organization as the Red Tent Sisters.” The stated mission of Red Tent Sisters is to establish a place for women, young and old, to safely gather to learn and grow together; sharing, encouraging, and honoring the feminine as it expresses itself in each woman. The group was founded by 13 women and has now grown to more than 95 members. They are currently working to establish a Red Tent Yurt on the property at Fire Om Earth Retreat where rehearsals are now being held for “The Vagina Monologues.” The Obie Award-winning play will also bring back to the stage of the Aud, Robin Milam Weinmann, Becca Martin Brown, Rae Hahn, Rebecca Hahn and Lauren Levine. New performers for this show are Amber Brown, Dorothy Crookshank, Kodi Price, Maureen Alexander, Patti Corcelli, Phyllis Moraga, Jillian Guthrie and Kate Lucariello.

Director Janet Alexander, from left, and actors Maureen Alexander and Robin Milam Weinmann discuss role changes for “The Vagina Monologues” during an early rehearsal Tuesday.
“The Vagina Monologues” has been called ‘a whirlwind tour of a forbidden zone,’ and ‘ taboo breaking,’ Ensler was described in the New York Times as a “messiah heralding the second wave of feminism.” The play was translated into 48 languages and performed in more than 140 countries. Alexander and two of the performers Maureen Alexander (no relation) and Robin Milam Weinmann began the process of blocking out the actor’s movements around the stage during an early rehearsal Tuesday evening at Fire on Earth. There will be many more rehearsals and much more
planning before the show reaches the stage. Lorna Trigg, co-founder of Red Tent Sisters, will produce the play in association with Mothership Productions. “Rehearsals have begun with great enthusiasm and an outstanding crew is being formed, including Maureen Dailey as stage manager and Janie Pritchett-Clark as house manager,” Trigg said in a press release. General admission for “The Vagina Monologues” is $25 with VIP seating for $35. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and seating begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Aud.

CCSO continues drug takeback program – for now By Alana Cook
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Though the Drug Enforcement Agency halted the national drug takeback program last September, state officials and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office said they plan to continue the program, at least for now. The DEA held its last drug take-back day last September, after it expanded its rules to allow the public to dispose controlled substances at registered pharmacies, mail-back programs, long-term care facilities and at drop boxes like the one at CCSO. DEA officials worked to get more than 150 prescription drop boxes placed at law enforcement agencies statewide, Steve Varady, Arkansas’ interim drug director, said. The amended ruling allows law enforcement agencies to have drop boxes for scheduled narcotics without the DEA’s oversight. Varady said that as of yet, no pharmacies in Arkansas have modified their licenses so they can collect the drugs. Previously, DEA worked closely with law enforcement to ensure the safe collection and disposal of scheduled narcotics, but now registered collectors, including law enforcement agencies, will be responsible for disposing the drugs. “It’s been very successful in terms of the weight collected,” Varady said, noting that Arkansas was fourth per capita in the U.S. in the amount of weight collected. Arkansas collected more than 19.5 tons of controlled drugs during the last year of its nine-year statewide effort, according to a state drug takeback fact sheet. No Carroll County numbers were available. But Carroll County Sheriff Randy Mayfield said that because the program has been so successful, he plans on keeping the drop box that Grudek installed at the sheriff’s office in 2012 and will track the amount of drugs
CCSO collects. Doing so could help the CCSO and other law enforcement agencies better gauge the success of the program and seek funding from state and federal agencies, if needed. “There’s a lot of interest in continuing and we would like to,” Varady said. “But, we would have to have statewide collaboration and some logistics would need to be worked out. We are planning another coalition meeting to address that as well.” Varady said the program helps reduce teen prescription drug abuse, which he said has decreased significantly in Arkansas over the last five years. But, those rates vary according to who is doing the counting. Though it is difficult to directly tie the success rates of the drug take-back program to a drop in teen prescription drug abuse, one thing is certain: Arkansas has one of the worst teen prescription pain reliever abuse problems in the U.S. According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s Teens and Prescription Drugs report. Arkansas has consistently ranked among the 10 states with the highest rate of non-medical use of pain relievers by 12 to 20-yearold individuals since state estimates of this measure first began in 2002. Mayfield and Varady say that’s reason enough to continue the grassroots program. Varady said the program also has environmental advantages because as soon as the drugs are collected, they are brought to incinerators in neighboring states and destroyed at no charge, instead of being flushed down the toilet and into waterways. “Another benefit of the take-back program is the disposal method,” Varady said. “We have a number of partners like Covanta in Tulsa.” Varady said that although the state does not have an advertising budget for the program, he anticipates funding will come through soon.

Lobbying for Dental Health?
f all the stories I cover in Eureka Springs, no other garners more local, national and even international attention than fluoride. Each time I run a story about fluoride, I inevitably get calls and emails from not only the citizens of Eureka and surrounding areas, but from people in cities as far away as Canada and Ireland. The message is clear: “We do not want fluoride in our water.” After careful consideration, I began to wonder why then, if citizens oppose fluoride, is a dental insurance company and its related non-profits, helping fund water fluoridation projects in state water districts like the Carroll-Boone Water District? What exactly is Delta Dental’s vested interest? According to the non-profit Delta Dental Foundation, which is associated with the for-profit health insurer, fluoridating the local water supply will save the company money in the long-run. To better understand, I started digging. Following the money trail In March 2011, the Arkansas state legislature approved Act 197 of 2011, requiring fluoride in all water systems that serve 5,000 people or more. Melissa Masingill, vice president of Public Affairs and Government Relations oversight for Delta Dental Association and Delta Dental Foundation, says that though DDF supported Act 197, it did not actively lobby for the legislation. Masingill is technically correct. Though
DDF did not actively lobby for the legislation, one look into Opensecrets.org shows that Ed Choate, CEO of DDF Arkansas, contributed $1,000 in 2011 and $1,000 in 2012 to Delta Dental Plans Association, which is the lobbying arm of Delta Dental. Though the amount is small, it calls into question Masingill’s claims about DDF’s lobbying efforts. The graphic from Opensecrets.org gives a good picture of how much DD Plans Association spends on lobbying efforts. Delta Dental and Monitor Group Also, according to Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation’s 2011 IRS Form 990, which a non-profit is required to submit, Delta Dental contracted with the now-defunct Monitor Group and paid them $700,000 for consulting services. Monitor declared bankruptcy in late 2012 and apologized for entering into a multimillion dollar contract with the Libyan regime to improve Gaddafi’s image, according to news reports. Though this does not mean that DDF was involved in anything nefarious, it does raise a question about why DDF contracted with Monitor and what services Monitor provided. One thing is certain — the citizens of Eureka Springs should continue working hard to stand against fluoridation of our water. If we don’t want fluoride in our water, then large companies such as Delta Dental should respect our wishes.

Eleven-year-old pens heartfelt letter about Butler Hollow Project
Good Shepherd meets $35,000 fundraising goal to expand operations
Editor’s note: We are running this letter as written, by 11-year-old Lily Torgerson. My name is Lily Torgerson and I grew up in Buttler Hollow. I consider it my home. I might not live there but I do. If you carry threw with this project the animals won’t have a home to come to. The animals can’t Rome free and wild. Eating grass could harm them with the poison you would use. They couldn’t run threw a forest of all trees. It would be a horrible sight to see. We boil maple syrup there in the winter months. We play there in summer. My Grand parents Sherry and Dave Becker were kind enough to let my class from Clear Springs School come and watch them boil maple syrup and play. My Grandfather Dale Becker is a Biologist. He has used the forest to teach me and many others about birds and bugs, all sorts of animals and it was the greatest experience of my life. Buttler Hollow is an out door library. If you open your eyes you can learn the ways of people with great knowledge. The national forest was supposed to be a preserved place. It’s not supposed to be cut down and used for commercial logging. Think what the forest will look like. When you cut and poison every thing, it will be ugly. Sincerely, Lily Torgerson

Arkansas EDC says Eureka Springs qualifies for block grant funding Eureka Springs now qualifies for block grant funding of up to $200,000 for public works and economic revitalization projects, an Arkansas Economic Development Commission representative said. Scott Hardin, spokesperson for the Arkansas EDC, said that Eureka Springs now meets the low- to moderate-income threshold for Community Development Block Grants to fund projects, including one to repair the collapsed tunnel under a parking lot next to the Auditorium, that could flood the bottom floor of the courthouse. AEDC in 2007 awarded $185,000 in CBDG funding to upgrade water infrastructure at the Crescent Hotel and in turn, the Crescent agreed to create 25 new jobs. During last month’s city council meeting, Mayor Butch Berry said he talked to Carroll County Judge Sam Barr about the collapsed tunnel because the county owns the property, and Barr said Berry would need to get a Justice of the Peace to sponsor an ordinance before the Quorum Court considers helping with repairs that could cost up to $150,000, depending on the scope. “A public facility project such as
the [tunnel repair underneath the parking lot near the Auditorium] appears to be eligible as a public utility project through the General Assistance set-aside. For any other project, it is recommended that you inquire with AEDC,” Hardin said. The playing field for getting CDBG funding is competitive and the process can be time-consuming but AEDC offers help to cities who choose to apply, he said. “A project must obtain the approval of the mayor and city council, through resolution, and all required forms, resolutions and certifications must be included in the application,” Hardin said. “Technical assistance will be provided to any applicant needing assistance, and public application workshops have been held for this program.” The city may apply for funding for one or more projects in the public works, public facilities or innovative projects categories. Examples of innovative projects include downtown or neighborhood revitalization, renovation of vacant commercial buildings for housing or mixed-use, and funding for innovative
Circus ordinance back on city council agenda After being voted down last November, a proposed ordinance banning circus acts involving animals from performing in Eureka Springs is back on next week’s city council agenda. Animal rights advocate Rachel Brix, in a recent letter to city council members, cited public support as the reason she wants the proposal back on the agenda. “Considering there were only 700 total attendees at the November Leatherwood shows with a capacity of 3,000 and according to documents I obtained through FOIA, our parks department actually lost money on the event, the risk does not at all seem worth any reward,” Rachel said in her letter to city council members. “Additionally, in the 81 pages of emails I obtained through FOIA of cor-
respondence to alderpersons and the mayor on the topic, not one constituent wrote in opposition of the circus.” Also on next week’s agenda as new business, the council will discuss firming up the application and permitting process for businesses that want to open franchise operations. The discussion comes on the heels of the city’s discussion about Ray Dotson’s application to operate a carriage franchise in the city. Unfinished business on the agenda includes Dwayne Allen’s recommendations for yard waste, which was tabled during the last meeting, and an update on the repair of the parking lot by the Auditorium, and an update on the new hospital. The city council will meet at 6 p.m. Monday at city hall.

Small fire at Brighton Ridge Shortly after 6 p.m. last Saturday evening, Eureka Springs Fire and EMS was dispatched to a dryer fire Brighton Ridge Nursing Home. No residents were injured and the fire caused minor damage. The first arriving fire engine’s crew smelled smoke in the 400 hall of the nursing home. Upon further investigation, firefighters found that a dryer had caught fire in the laundry room but had been extinguished quickly by a nursing home employee prior to the
fire department’s arrival. Residents were safely removed from the area of the fire by the nursing home staff when the alarm sounded. The 400 hallway was ventilated with a large fire department fan to move any residual smoke and the burning smell. The fire department responded with three engines, a ladder truck, a command chief, a support vehicle and two ambulances. A total of 18 personnel turned out for the incident.

Hard work yields upcoming citizenship By David Frank Dempsey Teresita Goff and her four siblings were raised in a dirt-floored bamboo house in her Philippine hometown and province of Manaoag, Pangasinan, four hours north of Manila. They and their neighbors got electricity in 1995. In another month, she hopes to be sworn in as a citizen of the United States. After studying America’s history, Constitution and Bill of Rights for a year, she answered every question correctly in a written examination recently. While helping Teresita with her studies, her American husband Mike Goff became convinced that she would probably end up knowing more U.S. history than most Americans today, including him. Teresita left the Philippines to work abroad as a caregiver eventually acquiring a working knowledge of Hebrew and Arabic along with her native language Tagalog and the English she was taught in school in the Philippines. She and her future husband met as pen pals and then later met in person in Tel Aviv. Their lives in Tel Aviv were punctuated by what Mike called “a sometimes scary tit-for-tat series of attacks” between Israelis and Palestinians. Even after the violence and insecurity, they have nice memo-
ries of Tel Aviv. Teresita would like to revisit the city someday. They were married 12 years ago in Manila. When they decided to move to the U.S., Teresita was granted a 10-year green card based on her marital status. Detroit was their port of entry, but an immigration official there told them Teresita’s paperwork had errors and she would not be allowed into the country. Mike remembers that his wife was in tears, but then another official looked at her papers and declared them perfect and allowed her in. The Goffs also credit U.S. Senator Carl Levins with smoothing the legal tangles allowing her to stay. The Goffs operated a small hotel in Michigan, before purchasing the Country Mountain Inn in Eureka Springs. They have operated the inn successfully for six years despite the ups and downs of the economy and are members of the Rock Springs Baptist Church in Berryville. When Teresitas’s green card neared expiration last year, it launched her on the path of study that should end next month with her swearing-in ceremony in Fort Smith. “I can relax now,” she said in her hotel dining hall Monday, ”It is such a relief.”

The Natural Way Determining toxicity: Scientific scrutiny or preponderance of evidence?
A
Jim Fain
while back, I listened to a segment on National Public Radio in which the interview of the author, Shapiro described the thrust of his then-new book “Exposed”. He reports that because the European Union has tight standards of safety on chemicals and plastics that manufacturers in China and elsewhere are selling different products to Europe than they do in the U.S. At this point, no big deal, just good business on an unimaginably large scale, or not. But the EU considers many of the products sold here in the U.S. as unsafe. Are they? Shapiro reports the EU uses a different standard of evaluation than we do. They use a system called a preponderance of evidence, where we use scientific fact. Let me describe the difference. The bird clucks, lays eggs, looks like a chicken, tastes like a chicken and acts like a chicken, the preponderance of evidence says this is a chicken. The EU says it is a chicken. Here in the U.S., we would have to do a tissue sample and prove with genetic testing that it is a chicken. Our level of proof is much harder to achieve. Our way is more expensive and subject to endless lawsuits that will take many years to resolve. In the meantime, Europeans are not being exposed to the chemicals and plastics we are. Are they healthier? We don’t know as there is little evidence that meets scientific scrutiny saying one thing or the other. According to Shapiro, what is true is that bad chemicals and nasty plastic compounds are showing up in everyone, even Eskimos. These chemicals can be toxic and many are while the plastic compounds are causing glandular/hormone changes on an unimaginably large scale. What can be done? Well at this point any individual action will be like a drop of spit in an Olympic-sized swimming pool. However, some things can be done at home. Buy locally-grown food and choose that which is the shortest distance from the garden/ranch to your table. Be aware that an “organic” label may not be very meaningful, unless you know the farmer, as nobody can control pollen carried from genetically modified plants. Filter your water for drinking and cooking as well as for washing your veggies. Microwaving is probably okay but See Fain, page 19
Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: One step forward and two steps back may look great on the dance floor, but it’s a lousy life plan. Take an opportunity on Wednesday to get ahead before you back yourself into the punch bowl. TAURUS: Sometimes when you reach for the stars, others see you as a crazy person swatting at invisible bugs in the backyard. Keep grasping for that dream, but do it out of sight for a while or the neighbors will be nervous. GEMINI: You’re like a kid in a candy store; too many choices, not enough time. Pick something top shelf and set your mind to it instead of gorging on everything you see and sleeping off a sugar coma under the counter. Success is sweet, but it shouldn’t give you diabetes. CANCER: The only way you’re ready to leave the nest is if there’s a fold-out hang glider tucked in your pocket. Flap those wings a bit more before you make the big move, otherwise it’s a long way down. LEO: Opportunity is yours for the taking, but there’s no need to sneak up on it and catch it unaware. Walk right up to it and grab it while everyone’s watching, the universe knows you deserve it. VIRGO: No one expects you to be perfect, but they’d love it if you were a little less neurotic. Tell them “Tough cookies!” and trot merrily down your weird, twitchy path. LIBRA: Someone’s trying to get your attention. Go ahead and notice them before a co-worker calls the cops on their naked, painted butt out in the parking lot. They may not be a keeper, but they’ll liven up your weekend. SCORPIO: It’s fine to need your personal space, just don’t fill it up with Cheetos and beer. It’s hard to reflect on personal growth with all that crunching and slurping, and smashing the empty cans on your forehead isn’t doing your brain any

Funding

businesses and companies that will provide employment to citizens with low-to-moderate income. “We would generally expect a city to apply for just one General Assistance project and we would determine the category it might be funded under. A city would only receive one grant at a time, and if more than one was applied for, we would call to receive priority,” Hardin said. “Each project is evaluated separately to see if the activity is eligible and if a na-
tional objective (such as a benefit to low-to-moderate income persons) is being met,” he said. Arkansas EDC’s website says that priority will be given to innovative projects, to communities with lower average incomes, and to projects that address priorities cited in the state’s consolidated plan. Proposals must be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. on March 31. Grant awards will be made before July 1.

don’t use plastic containers or covering unless they are rated for heat. For babies, avoid soft, plastic toys, pacifiers and anything that can be put in the mouth. The very soft plastics can be the source of nasty plastic compounds that cause gland/hormone troubles. Some toxins can be removed from our bodies with natural supplements like N-acetylcysteine but the best bet is to reduce/ eliminate exposure, though it might be difficult. Be more careful in what you buy and finally, speak up and tell your government representatives you want better than what you have. Unfortunately, we live in an increasingly dirty world.
