‘Always in our hearts’ Eureka Springs students killed in weekend accident By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Carroll County community is mourning after two Eureka Springs students were killed in a car accident over the weekend. According to a preliminary report from the Arkansas State Police, two boys were killed and four others were injured in the accident, which occurred at 4:50 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22, on County Road 219 in the Grandview area northwest of Berryville. A 2004 Hyundai was southbound on CR 219 at a high rate of speed when it left the roadway and hit several trees before coming to a stop, according to the report. The road was wet and the weather cloudy at the time of the accident, the report says. None of the boys were identified in the ASP report, since all were under 18. Eureka Springs High School Principal David Gilmore confirmed that sophomore Kyle Daugherty and former student George “Buddy” Milawski were killed in the accident. Gilmore remembered the students, saying they loved spending time on the basketball court. “If they had a free minute before
school or after school, they were shooting baskets,” Gilmore said. “They were great kids, so talented and so likable. I’ve got fond memories of talking to them Daugherty about their interests. We’re going to miss them.” Junior Grayson Ertel said Daugherty always had a smile on his face and greeted everyone with a fist bump or a hug. “He had a really contagious smile,” Ertel said. “When he smiled, you would always smile back. He always made us laugh. He had a funny personality, and he was a phenomenal athlete.” Junior Emily Bird said Daugherty liked to joke around with teachers, and sophomore Madison Smith said he’d joke around with anybody. “He definitely knew how to make my day and annoy me,” Smith said, “but he always made my day better.”
Sophomore Preston Hyatt said he felt lucky to know Daugherty. “He was a great person,” Hyatt said. Freshman Mackenzie Loudermilk rememMilawski bered how Daugherty would wear shorts even when it was freezing, and sophomore Gustavo Tapia said Daugherty even wore shorts under his pants. Loudermilk said Daugherty always wore a cross necklace, saying he never lost faith. “He wanted to be an aerospace engineer for NASA after he got out of the Marines,” Loudermilk said. “He just loved space and everything about it. His favorite thing was a nebula.” “Kyle was a straight A student,” Tapia said, “and if he got anything below an A, he’d get mad.” Milawski recently moved to Fayetteville, but Ertel said everyone at Eureka Springs grew up with him.
“He’d always greet you with a smile and a hug,” Ertel said. “He had this hilarious laugh that would make us hysterical. He was so goofy. He loved his family, friends, school and basketball.” “His mom was his best friend,” Bird said. “He always talked about her, always wanted the best for her. He never let anybody down.” Smith said Milawski loved basketball. “His life was all about basketball,” Smith said. “He was definitely a goofball.” Hyatt described Milawski as “the class clown.” “He always had a lot of good jokes,” Hyatt said. “His personality would light up everyone’s life.” Tapia said he’s known Milawski since the first grade. “We played soccer and basketball. We’d always get in trouble together,” Tapia said. “We used to go to his house a lot just to hang out.” To help students with their grief, Gilmore said the school held an assembly Monday morning and had around 15 counselors See Accident, page 5

Highlanders’ historic season ends with state tournament loss By Scott Loftis
CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
CARLISLE — To say the Eureka Springs Highlanders got a tough draw in the first round of the Class 2A State Tournament would be a bit of an understatement. Marked Tree, which entered the state tournament as a No. 4 seed after being ranked at or near the top of Class 2A for most of the season, defeated Eureka Springs 57-44 Tuesday afternoon at Carlisle High School. Eureka Springs coach Brian Rambo said the Highlanders (33-6) expected a tough game from Marked Tree, which finished as the Class 2A state runner-up last season. The Indians (23-5) suffered two upset losses in regional tournament play but could well contend for a state championship. “We got exactly what we thought we were going to get,” Rambo said. “It’s unfortunate that we had to play this game in the first round. It probably should have been a state semifinal.” The Highlanders controlled the tempo for most of the first half, working patiently on offense to set up open shots.
Unfortunately for Eureka Springs, most of those shots didn’t fall. The Highlanders shot 7-for-24 from the floor in the first half, including 1-for-12 from threepoint range. Eureka Springs missed six shots on a single possession early in the first quarter. Still, the Highlanders trailed only 2018 at halftime. “We did exactly what we wanted to do in the first half,” Rambo said. “We just didn’t make jump shots. If we shoot it decent, if we make four or five out of 12 from three-point range, we’re way ahead.” Eureka Springs tied the game at 23-23 when junior guard Jackson Cross made a three-pointer early in the third quarter. Marked Tree regained the lead with a three-pointer on its next possession. The Indians then used their pressure defense to force Eureka Springs into a pair of turnovers as Marked Tree scored six points in a 34-second span to push its lead to 32-23. “They sped the pace of the game up,” Rambo said. “They got some turnovers with their press and got some easy baskets.”
Jackson Cross scored off a long pass in transition from senior guard Garrett Cross to pull the Highlanders within four points at 36-32 with 6:38 left in the fourth quarter. After a Marked Tree free throw, Jackson Cross drove the lane for a basket that cut the deficit to 37-34. After a Marked Tree basket, Eureka Springs missed a pair of free throws and then failed to convert on a shot from close range. Marked Tree scored the next six points to complete an 8-0 run that left the Indians holding an 11-point lead at 45-34. Marked Tree led by at least nine points the rest of the way. With Eureka Springs forced to foul, the Indians used late free throws to widen the final margin. Jackson Cross led the Highlanders with 17 points, including three three-pointers. Senior guard Griffin Taylor added 10 points for the Highlanders. The loss snapped a 19-game winning streak for the Highlanders, who earned the No. 1 seed by rallying from a ninepoint deficit in the final 3:06 to beat Yellville-Summit 32-31 in the championship game of the 2A West Regional
Tournament on Saturday, Feb. 23, in Danville. The Highlanders outscored Yellville-Summit 12-2 down the stretch to pull off the improbable rally. “It was a great comeback for us, one of those storybook comebacks,” Rambo said of the regional final. Despite the loss to Marked Tree, the Highlanders had a tremendous season by any standards. Eureka Springs set a school record for victories, went 16-0 at home, won the regular-season conference championship and the district and regional tournament titles. The Highlanders also won 19 consecutive games before Tuesday’s loss. In six seasons as the Highlanders’ head coach, Rambo has had two seasons of at least 30 wins. “I told my guys at the end of the game (Tuesday) that we didn’t want that game to define our season,” Rambo said. “We had an historic run. We won 19 games in a row at the most important time of the year. How many teams would like to just win 19 games, period? If you look at the entire body of work, I would put this basketball team up against any team in the history of our program.”

Council agrees to apply for grant to remodel Auditorium By Samantha Jones
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs City Council is hoping to create a new meeting space in the downstairs of The Auditorium. On Monday night, the council approved a resolution authorizing Mayor Butch Berry to apply for a grant from the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program to remodel the area into an ADA-compliant meeting space. The resolution says the total cost of the project will be $132,346, with the grant providing $60,000 and the city kicking in $72,346 in matching funds. "This does not mean we've got the grant," Berry said. "This is just a resolution saying if we get the grant, we will match the portion required." Alderwoman Mickey Schneider asked when the council will know if the city has received the grant, and Berry said it should be some time in April or May. If the city doesn't get the grant, Berry said, the council will continue discussing how to make the remodel possible. During public comments, citizen Joyce
Knowles opposed the idea of remodeling the downstairs of The Auditorium. Knowles said the council turned down a deal from the Eureka Springs Community Center to hold city meetings that would only cost $5,000 a year. "I just want you to ask yourself this," Knowles said. "Can you be better? Can you stop and think of how you spend this money and maybe come up with a different idea?" Also at the meeting, the council heard from Schneider about a proposed ordinance revoking an ordinance regarding planning commission membership. Schneider said Ordinance 2179 addresses having council members on the commission, saying it would be unfair for a council member to vote on the same issue at two different meetings. "It has been determined that for the safety and well-being of our people and city in general, it would be better to just revoke this ordinance and not allow a councilman to sit on planning," Schneider said, "because any issue that goes to plan-
Pet of the Week
ning comes to council. If you could vote on it both times, it would be very unfair to the people." Alderman Terry McClung moved to approve the proposed ordinance on its first reading, and the council unanimously agreed to do so. The council heard from city finance director Lonnie Clark about the city's 2017 legislative audit. Clark said the auditors didn't find any major problems but said the city always gets criticized for not segregating the duties in the finance department. "We can't afford to hire enough people to segregate all the duties as they would like them to be," Clark said. McClung moved to accept the audit, and the council agreed to do so. In other business, the council voted to create an ordinance updating sidewalk repair requirements and approved a proposed ordinance vacating an alley at 11 Midway on first and second readings. The council's next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, March 11, at The Auditorium.

Former ES officer convicted of shoplifting By Scott Loftis and Samantha Jones CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
A former traffic control officer with the Eureka Springs Police Department was found guilty last week of shoplifting and began serving a 10-day sentence in the county jail. Travis Lynn Whaley, 24, was found guilty on Monday, Feb. 18, in Berryville District Court of a single count of shoplifting, a misdemeanor. A second count of shoplifting was nolle prossed — meaning prosecutors decided not to pursue the charge — and a third count was dismissed. Whaley was sentenced to 30 days in jail, with 20 days suspended. He will be allowed to serve his sentence on the weekends, beginning last Saturday, Feb. 23, and continuing for five consecutive weekends. He also was ordered to pay $515 in fines and court costs and $350.14 in restitution. An incident report written by Officer Cody Boren of the Berryville Police Department says Boren was contacted on Nov. 29, 2018, by Nicholas Neil, security manager at the Walmart Supercenter in Berryville. Neil showed Boren a photograph of a white male wearing a Eureka Springs Police Department jacket and identified the male as Whaley, Boren’s report says. Neil then provided Boren with video footage from three days — Oct. 8, Oct. 9 and Nov. 13. The video from Oct. 8 and Oct. 9 showed Whaley “skip-scanning” items in the self-checkout aisle.
“Whaley grabs numerous items, scans one item, and bags all items including the unscanned items,” Boren writes about the Oct. 8 incident. That day, Whaley paid for $129.63 worth of merchandise with a state-issued EBT card, according to Boren’s report, but stole a total of 51 items for a total of $145.60. Boren writes that a female with a newborn was present with Whaley during the incident. The following day, Whaley again was accompanied by a Whaley female carrying a baby, Boren writes. That day, Boren used the same method of skip-scanning, according to Boren’s report. Whaley paid for $119.31 worth of merchandise, Boren writes — $98.23 on a debit card and $21.08 on a state-issued EBT card — and stole 24 items valued at $150.16. On Nov. 13, Whaley returned to Walmart wearing a Eureka Springs Police Department jacket, according to Boren’s report. Whaley employed the same skip-scanning method but also switched the price tags of some grocery items, Boren writes. “Example: the video depicts Whaley scanning a large package of steak but the paid receipt with time stamp, shows he scanned chicken,” Boren writes. Whaley paid for $100.78 worth of
merchandise with a state-issued EBT card on Nov. 13 but stole 22 items valued at $54.38, according to Boren’s report. “Whaley stole a total of 97 proven items for a total of $350.14; these are proven items,” Boren writes. “Neil advised that there were several items that he was unable to prove with 100 percent certainty, so they were omitted from the case and the dollar amount. Whaley is suspected of thefts occurring on other days as well but due to a change in Walmart’s computer server the video for these days is unable to be viewed.” Boren writes that Whaley agreed to meet with him at the Berryville Police Department, where he was issued a citation for three counts of shoplifting. Whaley was formally charged on Dec. 4 and arraigned on Jan. 9 in Berryville District Court. He pleaded not guilty to all three counts. After being found guilty on Feb. 18, Whaley was booked into the Carroll County Detention Center on Saturday, Feb. 23, to serve the first two days of his sentence. He was released on Monday, Feb. 25, according to jail records. Eureka Springs Police Chief Brian Young said Whaley was fired after Young learned of the charges against him. “He was never a certified officer,” Young said. “He just worked downtown traffic control. I learned that Berryville had an investigation … and I immediately terminated him based on the evidence.”

available for group or one-on-one sessions. “We had help from Youthbridge and local counselors from Berryville and Green Forest,” Gilmore said. “It’s been an outreach of support here. The community has been great to help us. We’re making it the best we can.” Right now, Gilmore said, the staff and students are focusing on good memories. “They were very popular, and we’re a small school,” Gilmore said. “Everybody knows everybody. They’ll be deeply missed. They had a big impact on our school.” Gilmore added, “It’s been hard on these kids. They grew up with them. To see it end like this — it’s tough.” Berryville High School Principal Donnell Armstrong confirmed that one of the students in the accident was from Berryville. Armstrong said counselors were available at Berryville for students in need. “Our community is pretty shaken,” Armstrong said. “All the kids tend to know each other from these three schools. We’re a very close-knit family. This affects our whole community.” Gilmore thanked the community for its support during this hard time, saying he feels grateful to live in Carroll County. “When I came in on Sunday to meet with my staff, there was a bouquet of flowers stuck between the handles on the door,” Gilmore said. “It’s that kind of support.” “We loved them both very much,” Ertel said. “They’re always in our hearts.” There are several ways to donate to the families of Daugherty and Milawski. Benefit accounts have been set up in their names at Cornerstone Bank or you can donate online at https://www.gofundme.com/funeral-expense-account-for-kyle-daugherty or https://www.gofundme.com/funeral-expense-account-for-buddy-milawski.

The Eureka Springs Cemetery Commission voted Wednesday, Feb. 20, to approve the purchase of a commercial grade Kubota zero-turn mower for $8,561.70. Cemetery superintendent Pat Lujan said the commission has had about $8,000 set aside in the budget to replace their old zero-turn mower. The commission had voted in December 2018 to have Lujan research prices for a commercial grade zero-turn mower after their current one broke down again. “The last one we had was not commercial grade, and that was the biggest problem,” he said. “This one is meant to run day after day. Compared to the others, it was one of the best I could find out there.” Lujan continued, “It’s $7,720 after our 8 percent discount on it for being a cemetery. With taxes and all, it comes out to $8,561.70. We’ve had money for it in the budget for over a year now. We can cover that.” The commission voted to advertise the sale of the old zero-turn mower online for a few months. “If it doesn’t sell, we’ll haul it off,” said commission chairwoman Susan Tharp. The commission also voted to ap-
prove the purchase of a Cyclone Rake for $1,863. “I was asking about their bagging system,” Lujan said, “and the Kubota dealer suggested this to me. You get a double mulch. The tractor lifts leaves, mulches them and vacuums them into the motor for the leaf rake, and it chops them up again. This model is also commercial grade.” Also at the meeting, the commission voted to budget the purchase and upkeep of a computer for the secretary and treasurer to maintain cemetery records. “At one time, the commission owned a computer to do all of our secretarial work on,” Tharp said. “The gentleman that had it in his possession passed away, and the family took the computer. We never got it back, and we lost a lot of work he had done.” She said the commission is at a point now where she believes they do need a computer. “It would be for the secretary and treasurer to use here,” Tharp said. “If they need to take it home for the day, they will just make sure it’s back in. We can make a small checkout sheet about who had it last and the date they took it. It would be a simple sheet they could sign the computer in and out on.” She said having a computer for the re-
cord-keeping would make the job of the secretary and treasurer easier and more manageable. Lujan suggested a new cemetery policy preventing borders around plots, saying they have become an issue for maintenance. “The corner markers are sufficient,” he said. “They’re marking the plots, so [borders] are really not necessary.” Any existing borders would be grandfathered in, Lujan said, according to the cemetery’s guidelines. Assistant secretary and treasurer David Sallee said he thought cemetery policy required people to get permission from the superintendent before putting a border around a headstone. Lujan said that is correct. “I’m suggesting we don’t allow them at all any longer,” he said, “because what we do have up for sale now are in additions and tighter areas. Borders are starting to get in the way. Once a tractor gets in there, it will probably destroy a lot of these borders.” Commissioner Roderick Beattie said he was afraid banning borders would take away from the character of the cemetery. “It seems important to me in a town with so much stone and so much creativity with See Cemetery, page 9

dous addition to our lending team in Eureka Springs.” Hodge is a native of Eureka Springs, graduating from Eureka Springs High School in 1989. She began her

stone,” he said. “I think we’d encourage it as much as we could.” Tharp said she wouldn’t encourage borders because of the maintenance issues they create when mowing and weed-eating. Beattie suggested they discuss the issue further at the cemetery workshop on Wednesday, April 10. Lujan said he thought that would be a
good idea. “I’d like the workshop to be about two to three hours,” he said. “We’re going to start walking from one end of the cemetery to the other and all the way around. I can show you where some of these additions are, where we have room to put in cremain additions and things like that. You’ll see where some of my issues come in with the borders.” The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, March 13, in the Auditorium.

‘We’ve Got Talent’ supports music education in Carroll County By Kelby Newcomb
CCNNews@cox-internet.com
The Carroll County Music Group (CCMG) will holds its eighth annual production of “We’ve Got Talent” on Sunday, March 3, in the Eureka Springs Auditorium. There will be a pre-show beginning at 2:30 p.m., and the concert will start at 3 p.m. Sharon Parker, president of CCMG, said artistic directors Donesa and Rick Man have done an incredible job lining up amazing youth and adult talent to perform at We’ve Got Talent this year. “We’ve Got Talent gets bigger and more far-reaching every year,” Parker said. “We’ve got so many wonderful acts this year.” She said the event began eight years ago under the direction of former artistic director Jim Swiggart. “It was his vision to harken back to the old-fashioned days when you used to have Sunday recitals,” Parker said, “and give the kids a chance to perform and also make this into a fundraising event. It has blossomed into more than that.” More than 80 percent of CCMG’s funding is raised through direct solicitations for donations from area businesses, she said. “I’ve got a fantastic crew that does that. I have made it into a bigger concern,” she said, “and we’re able to reach more people in a very short time.” The focus, Parker said, has always been on the students and giving them a chance to perform.
“At the same time, we invite adult musicians, adults choirs and local acts here in Eureka Springs,” she said, “so kids can see it doesn’t end with high school. This experience translates not only into their music studies but also into other areas of their lives. It’s going to serve them well.” The money raised through We’ve Got Talent goes directly into scholarships for local students to attend music camps, she said. Last year, CCMG raised close to $9,500 and awarded 31 scholarships, she said. “We support all of the arts,” Parker said. “Our main areas of focus for scholarships are voice, instrumental, orchestra, string/ piano and music theater. Last year, we opened scholarships up to dance. We really impress upon the families to try to do their part. If the need is really warranted, we step up and pay their whole way.” Eureka Springs Elementary School students William Linker, Trew Freeman and Aubrey Huntley said they are excited to perform at We’ve Got Talent, both with the elementary choir under the direction of Donesa Mann and with Elite Dance Studio. “I enjoy showing people how I express myself through dance,” Freeman said, “so I’m looking forward to that.” “I’ve always liked performing and being in front of an audience,” said Huntley. “I’ll be performing with the choir and doing tap dance and hip hop with Elite,” Linker said. “I’m excited for it. I’ve been on stage quite a lot.”
Ben Winn, choir director for Berryville High School, said both his Vocal Image show choir and his Donna Voce women’s group will be performing at We’ve Got Talent. “We’ve got a very diverse group coming from Berryville,” he said. “One of my high school choirs will be joining the Celebration Choir on their number. We collaborated back in December on our winter concert, and I thought I’d use this opportunity to get them back together to make a really unique sounds.” As an educator, Winn said he sees We’ve Got Talent as a unique opportunity for the CCMG to give students a platform to present their skills and abilities that is rare throughout Arkansas. “It goes to a good cause,” he said. “That’s the main reason why I support it.” Berryville senior Rebecca Romine said what she likes about We’ve Got Talent is that you get to see talent from across the county. “You’re all getting together for the cause of music,” she said. “The atmosphere is really positive.” Sophomore Kevin Arana said getting to perform with friends makes the event that much sweeter. “It’s not just us having to go up there and be all professional,” he said. “We’re still doing the best we can to be professional, but we also get to have fun performing with friends. Choir is like a family to us basically.”
Citizen of the Week
Melodye Purdy is this week’s Citizen of the Week. Purdy was nominated by Fiona McGregor Richards, who said Purdy has graciously given her time and talent to photograph animals at Good Shepherd Humane Society. Purdy has helped increase adoptions at the shelter. “When one animal is adopted, two lives are saved as the kennel space opens up for another homeless dog or cat,” McGregory Richards said. “Thank you, Melodye, for all you do!” To nominate somebody for Citizen of the Week, email Samantha Jones at Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com.

Spring cleanse
I always jump the gun this time of the year as I’m tired of cold and want to start digging in the dirt. It’s not quite time to open the windows, dust the corners and air out the house and do a Spring cleaning but I want to. This is also known as a cleanse, and for the health-minded Jim Fain is front and center as we step into the newest growth spurt of the year. There are many types of cleanse but a general one, which is often a blend of special herbs, is what is usually done in the springtime. No fast or cleanse should be done unless you are healthy or closely supervised by your health practitioner. Most often, the duration of a spring cleaning as a fast is not more than three days, sometimes as short as one. If you decide to do a detox, these can last 10 to 30 days. I like a fast/detox, which I call the Desert Morning Cleanse. It uses a powerful blend of simple natural foods. I’ve seen it work like a charm and it tastes pretty good too. This one is a combination of cayenne (heat units are important, 40 and above) as hot as you can easily tolerate, juice from four lemons, pure water and four ounces of top grade, organic maple syrup. The simplest is often the best. For one to three days, you eat nothing and drink only this combination in one gallon of pure water for each day. I’ve found not watching TV beneficial during this time as the advertisements for food cause some grief. While I have my own preferred cleanse formula, you might come across an old one. The Hoxsey formula is an effective and easy alternative to the Desert Morning Cleanse. I like the combination of Alfalfa, Buckthorne Bark, Licorice, Red Clover, Barberry, Burdock Root, Poke Root, Stilingia and Prickly Ash. This is an old formula, which has withstood the test of time. The herbs individually are hard to gather but can be found in capsule form in most good herb shops. Start this detox on a night that can give you several days free just in case you temporarily feel not up to par as your body dumps accumulated toxins. It goes without saying plenty of good fresh water is in order. The herbal cleanse/detox usually lasts about 10 days and just might help you break that set point for weight loss, too. To dust out the deep recesses, finish up by taking five capsules/ day for 18 days (150mg/ea) per day of reduced glutathione or alternatively three capsules/day for 20 days of NAC at 600mg each. After completing the cleanse, you’ve got the perfect moment to clean up your diet and review your supplement list. Generally, I suggest an iron free multivitamin with trace elements and minerals as well as fish oils every day for every adult over 45. If you have ailments or are taking nutrition starving prescribed drugs, then other supplements will be needed. As for food selection, use the second section of the South Beach diet plan as your guide. This is a glycemic index food plan that perfectly fits how our bodies are made and can be easily done. Choosing food to put in your pantry is really easy by remembering to select food that travels the shortest distance from the garden/ranch to your table. Read all of the ingredient panels on packaged food and choose the lowest carb values, no trans-fats and no high fructose corn syrup.
