Trail blazers in action

Carroll County Riders help create, maintain Eureka Springs trails By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

If you’ve enjoyed an afternoon on one of the trails at Lake Leatherwood, you have the Carroll County branch of the Ozark Off Road Cyclists to thank. Nate Griffee, chairman of the branch, explained that the group, also known as the Carroll County Riders, formed last year to help create trails in the county’s parks. “We maintain and build trails and ride bikes,” Griffee said. “I’m really proud of what this group has done.” Some of the trails the group has built, he noted, include the Spring Garden Trail near Harmon Park and Lake Leatherwood City Park’s Slow Ride Trail and Miner’s Rock descent. The Slow Ride Trail, Griffee said, is meant to be a beginner’s trail. “It’s sort of a beginner-friendly trail just west of the ballfields parking lot,” Griffee said. “We also built a re-route of the Miner’s Rock descent, which is being known as the NICA re-route.” Kendall and Alissa Smith, who are members of the group, said the NICA re-route was intended to make it easier on the students participating in the National Interscholastic Cycling Association competition. Many young people take part in that competition, Kendall Smith said. “The end goal was to make a safer descent for the Miner’s Rock Trail,” Kendall Smith said. “It’s for the high schoolers,” Alissa Smith added. Kendall Smith said he and his wife moved to Eureka Springs in July 2014 after living in Kansas City. They had always enjoyed the outdoors, Kendall Smith explained, but had never gotten involved with a group like the Carroll County Riders. Kendall Smith noted that a group existed in Kansas City, saying he and his wife discussed joining that group because of how much they love outdoor activities. “We like to mountain bike and hike, and we also do a lot of motorcycle riding,” Kendall Smith said. “We like to camp.” He and his wife decided to join the Car-

roll County Riders, Kendall Smith said, because they felt there was a need for that kind of help in Carroll County. He said bigger cities have larger groups to help with

outdoor projects, pointing out that Eureka Springs is small and, in turn, has a smaller pool of volunteers. “With it being a smaller area, we thought

maybe we should join in,” he said. He described how trail building works, noting that Griffee usually scouts an area before the whole group begins working on it. After the group decides on a plan, Kendall Smith said everyone starts to work on the project at hand. “We kind of decide what area we’re going to work on, and then we go out as a group and put flags out and decide where the trail’s going to go,” Alissa Smith said. Crystal Rust said the trail building is what attracted her to the group. Long before the group was formed, Rust said she and friends would help create trails in and around Eureka Springs. “We were already doing trail building and riding, and I thought it was a good way to get more people involved, to have more of an organized approach to what we were doing,” Rust said. “Sometimes, for our first trail-build day, we’ll have like 30 people out that are part of the community and usually don’t get involved in something like this.” She continued, “People of all ages come out and get involved and contribute to the community.” Eureka Springs parks director Justin Huss praised the group for bringing so many people together to work on the trails. Huss said he has worked with many impressive volunteer groups throughout his career in parks, but the Carroll County Riders are by far the best group he’s encountered. “I’ve never been around a group that’s so self-motivated and passionate and effective,” Huss said. “I really like to call them ‘stewards.’ ” Without the group, Huss said many of the city’s trails wouldn’t exist. He pointed out that, along with creating the trails, the group helps maintain them. This is important, Huss said, because the parks commission doesn’t have the budget to do any of this on its own. “I don’t have the staff and money to do that. If it weren’t for them, our trails wouldn’t be there because they’d be overgrown and back to nature already,” Huss See Trails, page 19

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

In November, Eureka Springs residents will vote on an issue considered contentious in any community: an additional sales tax. The Eureka Springs City Council read two ordinances regarding the proposed tax on July 25, one establishing a 1-percent sales and use tax and the other calling for a special election to vote on the tax on Nov. 8. Mayor Butch Berry acknowledged Monday that the proposed tax has a mixed reception in town but said it’s the only way to repair the water and sewer infrastructure without placing an undue burden on all Eureka Springs residents. “The majority of that is going to be paid for by visitors. I don’t think most visitors say, ‘Oh, that sales tax is too high. We’re not going to Eureka Springs,’ ” Berry said. “If we don’t pass the sales tax, we’re going to have to raise our water rates, and that’s going to affect everybody.” He is researching how much the city would have to raise water rates if the proposed tax doesn’t pass, but Berry said he doesn’t know that exact figure yet. Still, he said, it would probably cost Eureka Springs residents much more than the proposed tax increase. “On a $100 room, we’re only raising it a dollar,” Berry said. “On a $50 meal, you’re going to be paying an extra 50 cents.” He reiterated that most of the tax will be paid by tourists, not those who live in Eureka Springs. “If we have to raise the water rates, it’s really going to hurt the locals more than it is the visitors,” Berry said. “Although, the visitors are going to see it because the restaurants and the hotels are going to raise their rates accordingly.” He continued, “They’re not just going to absorb an increase in water rates. They’re going to pass that on. For me, it’s easier to put it on a penny sales tax and have the visitors pay that.”

Berry noted that the city has three separate tax rates, with 14.375 percent for lodging, 12.375 percent for food and 9.375 percent for retail. If the proposed sales tax passes, he said the taxes would be 15.375 percent for lodging, 13.375 percent for food and 10.375 percent for retail. Berry recalled the tax he initially proposed, saying he suggested establishing a 2-percent tax on retail only. This proposed tax, he said, would have brought the city’s retail tax up to 11.375 percent. “In order for us to segregate the retail out from other items, we would have to hire another employee just to be able to implement and regulate that tax because the state would not be collecting that tax,” Berry said. “The city would be.” He continued, “Ultimately, we felt that the 2-percent sales tax might really be more of a burden on retail. Instead of going 11.375 percent, we decided it would be better if we just cut it back and made it 1 percent on everything.” Berry pointed out that he has looked into other options to fix the water and sewer problems in the city. He said he considered raising property taxes and occupation taxes but realized the revenue generated from those hikes wouldn’t be nearly enough to address the city’s infrastructure issues. “That’s not going to raise enough money to do anything, so this is the only solution we found that would work,” Berry said. “We need to repair our sewer lines. We have leaks in our sewer lines, and our water lines have water leaks. We need to repair that.” He outlined some of the problems the city is facing, saying the city needs to pay off almost $700,000 in bonds. He explained that the city went nearly $1 million over budget when building the water and sewer plant and was forced to purchase bonds to cover the expense. “A lot of the money we generate has to go pay for those bond payments,” he said. “A bond issue is similar to a house. You start out with a low mortgage and

you’re paying a lot on your interest, and all of a sudden you start catching up on your basic mortgage.” Berry continued, “That’s where we’re at right now. We can’t refinance the bond. We can’t refinance the sewer plant. We’re pretty much stuck with what we’ve got.” If the city had a big business like Walmart, Berry said it would be easier to generate money to pay for the water and sewer infrastructure. “None of us like to have taxes,” he said. “If we were like Berryville and had a large Walmart that had an incredibly large amount of sales tax coming in, we wouldn’t have to be doing this.” He added, “But because we’re not, this is about the only solution I have found that will help us start repairing our infrastructure. We haven’t been doing that. We’ve been doing the Band-Aid approach on our water and sewer plant since the plant was built.” After the election in November, Berry said the city will have a better idea of how to move forward on improving this infrastructure. He said the proposed tax will take effect 30 days after the election if it’s approved by voters. If the proposed tax passes, Berry said the city could raise $1 million in a year. “It depends on how much money we’re generating, but in a year’s time we’ll be able to start probably implementing some of the capital projects like adding equipment for a testing lab so we can start testing our own water and sewer,” Berry said. “At the same time, we’ll probably be able to also start building a chemical storage building so we can buy chemicals in bulk and start saving money.” The revenue generated from the tax, he noted, will be placed in a separate fund dedicated toward the water and sewer infrastructure. He noted that 25 percent of the proposed tax will go to improve the infrastructure on The Auditorium. The city owns The Auditorium, Berry said, See Tax, page 21

Good Shepherd hoping to raise money for new kennels By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Good Shepherd Humane Society’s dogs need better kennels, and office manager Donieal Fletcher believes she’s found a way to raise money to provide them. Fletcher said Monday that she’s been working with online crowd funding campaigns to establish the new kennel fund. It will cost around $50,000 to replace all the kennels, she said, and the shelter is 10 percent of the way there already. “It may be more. It may be less,” Fletcher said. “We’re getting donations specifically to go to the kennel fund, so hopefully we’ll meet our goal sooner rather than later.” The shelter has a few fundraising events coming up, she noted, to hopefully add to the kennel fund. She said these events include the Holiday Extravaganza and the Poker Run, both to be held later in the year. “We’re hoping those contribute to the kennel fund,” Fletcher said. The need for new kennels, she continued, is serious. Fletcher said the kennels at the shelter were fine when the shelter was created as a kill shelter, but have become a problem after it became no-kill. The kennels are chain-link, she explained, which makes it easy for dogs to access each other if two of them are next to each other. “We were originally built as a kill shelter, and they didn’t take into account the areas [the dogs] could reach up to get another dog,” Fletcher said. “They didn’t have to worry about it. They were going to euthanize them regardless.” Now if a dog gets injured, she said the shelter’s employees go above and beyond to take care of that animal. Another problem with the kennels, she added, is that the bindings make it easy for dogs to grind their teeth down. “We don’t want them to have tooth issues, making it to where their only choice is to eat soft food,” Fletcher said. “That’s unfortunately the case for some of our animals here.” She continued, saying the kennels are also difficult to clean in their current condition. “It’s not easy to clean them,” Fletcher said. “We want them to be more effective and san-

itary. Right now, we’re working within the confines of that the best we can.” The kennels have been improved this year, she noted. She recalled when guillotine doors were installed on the kennels, saying this was during the first wave of improvements earlier this winter. Along with the physical improvements, Fletcher said the shelter’s finances and board have changed for the better. “As far as our financial condition goes, we are improving,” she said. “That’s really going well. We have new board members with a business background, so that’s very beneficial. They can help improve the finances and make it to where we can make these improvements.” She added, “We’re slowly making improvements and we want to just build on that. Our motto is, ‘Onward and upward.’ ” The shelter constantly has fundraisers going on, she said. Another fundraiser is a bicycle raffle to generate more money for the flea and tick fund. “Currently, five local businesses are selling our tickets for us,” she said. “We’re trying to reach 1,000 tickets. Once we reach 1,000, we’re going to do the drawing. That’s going to be something that’s definitely going to benefit our animals here.” Much of her job, she said, revolves around searching and applying for grants. She noted that she’s been working to step up the shelter’s presence on social media as well, hoping to find more volunteers and community donations. Fletcher recalled a recent donation when a woman brought in toys for the cats in the free-roam room to play with. This donation, she said, made a huge difference in the cats’ morale. “They just love playing with them. It makes them not so bored,” Fletcher said. “We try get in here to socialize with them, but the toys keep them occupied and happy.” She continued, “We’re the only no-kill shelter in Carroll County. We need to raise more money for our little ones.” For more information on the crowd funding campaign, visit www.crowdrise.com/ good-shepherd-humane-society-sp2016/ fundraiser/doniealfletcher.

Clerk: County will use laptops for November election By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com

Carroll County is switching to laptop computers for poll workers to verify voter registration in the November general election. County clerk Jamie Correia told the Carroll County Board of Election Commissioners she learned after researching the matter that as county clerk the responsibility of providing poll books for election falls under her. As a result, she said she would approve the switch from paper poll books to the laptops for the upcoming election. “I don’t want to fight you all on this. I want us all to get along and approve it together, but we need to go to the laptops,” Correia said. “Under the law, it does fall under me as county clerk, and that’s how we’re going to do it. I’m sorry, but I am.” Commission chairman David Hoover and commissioner Eugene Walden voted against using the laptops at the commission’s July 13 meeting. Hoover called commissioner Bob Grudek on the phone during the meeting for the vote, and Grudek voted against using the laptops as well. Hoover had said at the meeting that Carroll County would use paper poll books for the 2016 general election with a limited number of paper ballots and an increased number of voting machines at the polling sites. Hoover reminded Correia that the commissioners had all voted against using the laptops. “We have voted, all three of us, and

we turned it down,” he said. “It doesn’t matter. I’m the registrar, so we’re switching,” Correia said. “I do feel it was kind of unethical for Bob to vote on that over the phone because he hasn’t seen it. He hasn’t tried out the laptops.” She said she would like to bring in poll workers or training during the early voting for the school board elections in September and would be willing to pay them $25 to work the machines that day. Correia also said that the concerns at the July 7 meeting over elderly poll workers being able to see the small print on the computer screen would not be an issue. “I got that fixed. You can make it as large or as small as you want,” Correia said. Hoover said the larger concern was that the system had allowed the commissioners to print a second voter application for the same voter during the demonstration. He also expressed concern that poll workers would have to be trained on the laptops and then have to train on new voting machines for the next election after the Arkansas Secretary of State’s Office approves the delivery of 25 new voting machines to Carroll County. “We had a person vote twice. We had a problem seeing the thing. We moved eight people out of the community center over $150, and now you’re wanting to spend upwards of $2,000 to train people for one election,” he said. “No, they’re going to be doing this from now on because when we get our

new machines that’s how it’s going to be done,” Correia said. “The only thing that’s the same is the typing,” Hoover said. “We don’t know that we won’t have some double votes unless they have specialized training.” Correia said voters will not be able to vote twice. During the demonstration at the July 7 meeting, she said, the commissioners only printed a second voting application. “They printed the application twice, but they cannot vote twice. It’s already recorded in the system,” Correia said. “Their second application is in red, so your poll worker better see that because it says they’ve already voted.” She said the paper poll books had too many errors for the county to keep using them. “I’ve talked with other counties and other clerks, and everyone is telling me we are fools for not going to these laptops,” Correia said. “They told me ‘You are the registrar. Get rid of those books.’ ” “Just remember that when we go to court,” Hoover said, “because we’ve all seen where voters get backed up to the door, and the polling sites get accused of trying to skew the election.” He said the polling sites will be trying to accommodate about three votes per minute. “These people will be backed up out the door,” Hoover said. Correia said she believes things will run fine in November and asked for a list of poll workers so she can start scheduling training on the laptops. The commission also passed a motion

to pay $25 per ballot box in addition to mileage to workers who pick up and deliver the ballot boxes to polling sites. They also passed a motion to pay a $50 flat fee plus mileage for pickup and delivery during those elections where there are no ballot boxes, only electronic ballots. Correia also informed the commission that all of the candidates for the upcoming school board elections in the county are running unopposed, so the schools have all agreed not to have polling sites. Instead, she said, they will just do early voting and absentee voting. Election commissioner Sherry Cochrane said she has received letters from each of the schools expressing this decision as well as a resolution passed by the Green Forest School Board. Correia said Berryville and Eureka Springs have not sent resolutions yet because they have not had another school board meeting yet. The following candidates are running in each district: Berryville • Incumbent LeeAnn Ashford is running for a one-year term in Zone 3. • Travis Gregory is running for a fiveyear term in Zone 4. • Chad Wilson is running for a five-year term in Zone 5. Eureka Springs • Joe Hill is running for a three-year term for Position 5. • Tina Johnson is running for a threeyear term for Position 6. Green Forest • Incumbent Kenny Bonham is running for a five-year term in Zone 5.

GSHS treasurer reports profit in June By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Good Shepherd Humane Society ended June with a profit. GSHS treasurer Kathy Jensen reported on July 27 that the shelter had a profit of $146.75 at the end of June. Jensen said this is the first time since November 2015 that the shelter has had a profit. “We have not had a profit for the month in a very long time,” Jensen said. “Unfortunately, we do have a year-to-date net loss, but I’m very happy. To me, that was an upturn.” Board president Troy Johnson noted that this would be Jensen’s last GSHS board meeting as treasurer. Johnson said Jensen has worked in that capacity for the past five years, calling her work “above and beyond the call of duty.” “She will be sorely missed,” Johnson said. He said Rosemary Fusaro will be serving as interim treasurer until the board can find a permanent replacement. Fusaro is the wife of board member Jay Fusaro, Johnson noted, and it’s against regulation for husband and wife to serve on the same board. “Typically, the treasurer is going to be a board member,” he said. “In the event that we do not have a board member who is willing to take that enormous responsibility, I have the ability to appoint that role.” He assured the board that it’s OK for Rosemary Fusaro to serve as interim treasurer, saying that doesn’t mean she’s on the board. “She will be making sure the functions and duties of treasurer are filled,” Johnson said.

He acknowledged that it will be tough to find someone to fill that role. The treasurer’s job is difficult, Johnson said, and often time-consuming. “It’s not really easy to go out and find someone. You can’t just go up to somebody and say, ‘Hey, do you want to work 30 hours a week and volunteer and do this and that and help us with our finances?’ ” Johnson said. GSHS office manager Donieal Fletcher presented the shelter report with animal care manager Sandra Mittler. Fletcher gave the June figures, saying the shelter had 13 dog intakes and 14 cat intakes, three dog returns and one cat return, 10 dog adoptions and 10 cat adoptions and one reclaimed dog. “We had one dog reclaimed by his owner,” she said. The average time a cat spends in the shelter, she continued, is 31 days. She said a dog spends an average of 33 days in the shelter. At the end of June, Fletcher said the shelter had 39 cats, 31 dogs onsite and five dogs in foster homes. This, she said, brings the shelter’s total animals for June to 75, with 70 animals on-site and five off-site. Mittler discussed the animals that died in June, saying a kitten that came into the shelter ill passed away despite efforts to save it. “This kitten came in very, very, very sick. We gave it antibiotics, but it unfortunately didn’t make it,” Mittler said. “During kitten season, we’ll unfortunately lose some. Some come in so far gone we can’t save them.” She noted that a puppy died in June, too. This case was especially sad, Mittler

said, because the puppy didn’t appear to be unhealthy before its death. “It was one of our recent litter. She was the only girl,” Mittler said. “They all got spayed and neutered. She was the first one done. Dr. (John) Muller checked her before he left. I checked her before I left.” She continued, “When we came back the next morning, she had passed away. Dr. Muller did an autopsy. She had internal bleeding.” Johnson asked Mittler if she has seen many cats affected by Bobcat Fever, and Mittler said she has. Bobcat Fever, she noted, has become an increasing threat to cats in recent years. Muller explained that Bobcat Fever is passed through tick bites, saying he purchased some medication to help ward off ticks. “It was creating hair loss on their back, so we have to get something else,” Muller said, describing how threatening Bobcat Fever is. “People could walk outside on the grass behind the shelter and bring a tick in, so they’re very tenacious that way. We need to spend some money and get some product.” There are some products available, Muller noted, that protect cats from ticks for up to three months. Mittler said she hopes to purchase a product like that, pointing out that it can be difficult to find tick medication targeted specifically toward cats. “There’s just not as many products available for cats as there are dogs. For ticks, you have even less to choose from,” Mittler said. “If we could get more money put into the flea and tick fund, we could get something higher quality for the cats.” Johnson asked Mittler and Muller to

look into better tick-prevention products, and they agreed to do so. Mittler continued, saying she’s started to think about creating a plan to feed the animals at the shelter when it inevitably snows in the winter. Mittler said most employees don’t come to work on snow days because of the dangerous road conditions. “I obviously am going to make it to the shelter. I have a straight shot to 62,” Mittler said. “We need a board member who … has keys and is going to be responsible for getting to the shelter alongside myself.” She added, “Animals have to be fed every single day, even when it snows. So who’s going to be the other half of my snow team?” Johnson volunteered to help out on snow days and said he would like to complete some training to prepare for a snow day. He credited the shelter’s employees for all their hard work, saying they do their best to provide for the animals. “It’s easy to walk into the shelter and to be critical when you don’t understand what Sandra and Donieal are doing,” he said. “It’s so easy to go in and say, ‘Well, you need to do this and you need to do that.’ But that’s not the role of the board, to manage the managers.” He continued, “What we need to form is a cohesive team, a family that all works together. Not that we need reminding, but why are we all here? Why do we put our blood, sweat and tears into this? It’s because of the doggies and kitties, to help them find homes. That’s why we’re sitting around this table, so I want to thank you. I want to thank all the volunteers and board members.”

Jackson’s Memorial Veterinary Hospital to open at Turpentine Creek

Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge (TCWR) will host the grand opening of the Jackson’s Memorial Veterinary Hospital (JMVH) at 2 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 18. There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by tours of the facility and refreshments. JMVH has been specially equipped for big cats and bears. Because of this,

the facility will only be used for the animals at TCWR. Much of the equipment had to be custom-built to accommodate the larger size of tigers, lions and bears. Normal veterinary facilities are built for household pets like dogs and cats, and can have difficulty handling the massive size of exotic animals. Beyond just assisting animal care, JMVH will also expand

the educational opportunities that TCWR offers. Currently, TCWR offers an animal care internship, but with the completion of JMVH, the eventual goal is to expand the internship program to also include exotic animal veterinary internships as well. The new veterinary hospital is the culmination of years of planning, hard work and hundreds of thousands of donated

dollars. This veterinary hospital will give TCWR the opportunity to safely monitor the health of the nearly 100 animals that call the refuge home. Once it’s open, TCWR will be able to perform surgeries on-site. In the past, animals would have to be tranquilized and transported more than 40 miles to their veterinarian’s facility.

Digital marketing rep speaks at CAPC workshop By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission met for a workshop on July 27, where the public heard from the digital marketing company the commission has been working with to increase its online presence. CAPC director Mike Maloney explained that the commission began engaging in internet-based advertising in 2014, saying he realized it was important for the group to work with an organization that could bring its advertising into the future. “We recognize that the internet is a very big component in everything we do,” Maloney said. “Everybody has an iPad. Everybody has a computer. It’s important for the CAPC.” He said the commission has been working with 121 Digital Marketing, a marketing firm with locations in Little Rock, Hot Springs and Fayetteville. “Over the course of the past two years, we’ve visited with about 15 different firms that were interested in working with us, but we found very few that have the background 121 Digital has in regards to tourism,” Maloney said. He introduced Kiesha Doss, a Green Forest native who works in digital sales at the firm. Doss noted that the firm’s location helps it better serve businesses and organizations in Arkansas, saying its local base means everything gets done inhouse. Digital marketing is important to tap into, but Doss said it can be difficult because of the nature of the internet and technology. “The thing with digital is it’s constantly moving. You have to make sure what you’re giving out to the public is exactly how you want to be portrayed,” Doss said. “Everybody knows we need a website, but the point is to do it correctly.” One way the commission can make sure its website is effective, she noted, is to update it as much as possible. Doss explained that Google researches websites twice a month to see if anything new has

been added for its search engine. “If you don’t have anything new on that second go-around, you have to start over,” Doss said. “You have to resubmit. This is your foundation.” Updating constantly is also important, she continued, because it keeps visitors to the website interested in what the commission’s doing. This content, she said, needs to be special to the business or organization putting it out there. “We want to create content that’s unique to you. You’ve got to stand out,” Doss said. “You have to be unique and have something your neighbor doesn’t have. If you put pictures up on a website and let it sit, it’ll get stale.” Th CAPC has a great website, she noted. Doss said the commission’s website has several pages for specific events, such as weddings and music festivals. She advised the commission to keep updating the website in this manner to attract more visitors. “If you’re updating it every single day with new content and photos, you’re doing the best possible thing for your businesses because they’ll come back for more pictures,” Doss said. “Keep having new content for people to look at.” She addressed social media marketing, pointing out that Facebook is the most popular social media platform that businesses use to attract customers. Baby boomers have begun getting involved with social media, Doss explained, even though many rural communities haven’t yet caught up with modern technology. “You’ve got to be aware these things are happening. Being from here, I know. I know you’re not used to it,” Doss said. “It’s not normal for us. I didn’t even have a computer in my house until I was a senior in high school. But it’s not about what’s happening here.” If the city doesn’t reach out to potential visitors on social media, she said it could lose out on quite a bit of revenue. It’s important to use social media, she noted, because of how small the city is. Eureka Springs is a fairly popular tourist destination, but Doss said it’s still a rural town in

Northwest Arkansas, where many large cities are growing. “If you’re not reaching out to them, they don’t know to come to you,” Doss said. “It’s not like a Walmart where it’s a given that there’s one around the corner.” She advised the commission to post two or three times a week on social media and said it’s OK to keep sharing similar information if it works. “Stick with that. If a photo of a dog and

a baby is working, keep doing that,” Doss said. Every post on social media, she added, needs a photo. “Even if it’s your logo, everything has to have a photo because it will take prominence over text-only posts,” she said. “Those photos are very, very important.” The CAPC’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 10, at City Hall.

From the EDITOR

An important cause

n a clear night in 2012, I gazed out the car window. My then-boyfriend had stopped at a local bank to deposit a check, and I was waiting on him to return. The stars were out, the moon was shining and I couldn’t help but think how beautiful nature can be. When my ex-boyfriend returned to the car, we headed back to his house. I wanted to tell him about the stars and the moon, but he started talking about his ex-girlfriend instead. He said she began dating an abusive person after they broke up. The guy she was dating now, he said, beat her up and yelled at her all the time. I said her situation was sad, as most people would. He didn’t share my feelings on that. “I don’t have any sympathy for her,” he said. “She got into that relationship.” I was stunned, and he continued. “If you get yourself into an abusive relationship, you deserve what happens to you. You can always get out.” I wanted to challenge him on that. I wanted to tell him he was wrong, that it’s important to empathize with those who are in unfortunate situations. I wanted to say that, but I didn’t. I knew he’d start yelling at me if I tried to correct him. I was tired of being yelled at. As the car drifted through the deserted streets, I wondered how I’d gotten where I was. I felt unhappy all the time, but it didn’t ever feel very specific. It was one of those vague feelings of unhappiness, like when you know something is wrong but you just can’t put your finger on it. For the three years I dated my ex-boyfriend, I couldn’t put my finger on why I was so depressed almost every day. I figured it had something to do with being in college or being in a bad sorority or having stressful extra-curricular activities. When my ex-boyfriend and I broke up in late 2013, the majority of these bad feelings began to subside. I thought I felt better because I enjoyed being single, still unaware of how abusive the relationship had been. I didn’t fully grasp that until I met my fiancé’s mother, a woman who was in an abusive marriage for nearly 20 years. She spoke openly about her marriage, saying her ex-husband yelled at

her constantly and would throw a fit any time somebody disagreed with him. I remember sitting on her couch, slowly realizing she was describing my ex-boyfriend. If my ex-boyfriend was a lot like her abusive ex-husband, I thought, did that mean I had been in an abusive relationship without realizing it? That’s exactly what it Samantha Jones meant. For three years, I suffered at the whims of my narcissistic, abusive ex-boyfriend. I believed my constant depression and anxiety was my fault, that I deserved it somehow. The thing is, he didn’t hit me. He pushed me every now and then, and he acted like he was going to hit me almost every time we argued, which was often. But he didn’t hit me, and I thought you had to get hit to be abused. After all, I didn’t grow up being told that some people will tell you they love you just so they can control and hurt you. My school didn’t educate us on what abuse looks like, especially emotional abuse. Luckily, that’s changing today. We have a lot of lawmakers and activists to thank for that, and we’re especially lucky to have some of these people working in our community to make the world a better place for men, women and children who have experienced or are experiencing abuse. The Purple Flower is the driving force behind this. As many of you probably know, The Purple Flower is the only domestic violence resource center in our county. The women at The Purple Flower work tirelessly to raise money to keep everything going, and tonight we all have an opportunity to help them do that. They are the non-profit featured at Cocktails with Cause tonight. The event is scheduled from See Jones, page 21

Affidavit reveals more details in former deputy’s arrest By Scott Loftis CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com

ROBIN • JIM FAIN, PhD • MARY NELL 61 North Main St. • Eureka Springs 479-253-5687 • www.fainsherbacy.com

A former Carroll County Sheriff’s Office deputy who was arrested last week on drug and assault charges has been released on bond. Meanwhile, court documents reveal more details about the arrest. Jonathan White, 31, was arrested Wednesday, July 27, at a residence in Berryville. He faces felony charges of aggravated assault on a famWhite ily or household member, possession of a controlled substance and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. According to an affidavit prepared by CCSO investigator Jerry Williams, Williams met with White’s wife, Jessica, at the sheriff’s office on the afternoon of July 27. Jessica White had already given an initial report to CCSO Cpl. Lance Clark regarding an incident in which Jonathan White allegedly displayed a firearm “in such a way that created substantial danger of death or serious physical injury,” according to the affidavit. Jessica White said that she felt very threatened by her husband’s actions and also had video footage of the incident, the affidavit says. The incident took place in the parking lot of the old Crystal Mountain Restaurant on Arkansas Highway 21 South. According to the affidavit Jonathan and Jessica White were parked next to each other and each remained in their respective vehicle. Jessica White said she began recording after Jonathan White allegedly pointed his firearm the first time. According to the affidavit, Jessica White showed the video footage of the incident to Williams. “In the video, it clearly showed Mr. White pointing his firearm at Ms. White,” Williams wrote in the affidavit. “Multiple screen shots were taken of the video and

placed into the case file for evidence.” The affidavit said Jessica White told Williams that her husband, who had been a narcotics investigator with CCSO before submitting his resignation earlier that week, had begun using methamphetamine. “Ms. White stated that she became concerned, after his entire demeanor had changed several weeks ago,” Williams wrote in the affidavit. “Ms. White stated that she began searching through his phone, and after viewing a multitude of exchanges regarding sex, money, and drug use, she began taking screen shots and saving them.” According to the affidavit, Jessica White ultimately confronted Jonathan White and he confirmed he was using methamphetamine. Jessica White provided Williams with copies of several screen shots and text messages corroborating her statements, the affidavit says. Jessica White told Williams that she believed her husband was a danger to her or himself, according to the affidavit. After conferring with chief deputy prosecuting attorney Devon Still and Sheriff Randy Mayfield, the decision was made to arrest Jonathan White on a felony charge of aggravated assault on a family member. CCSO investigators tracked Jonathan White’s county-issued cell phone to an address in the 1200 block of East Cottonwood Lane in Berryville, and Williams and Chief Deputy Maj. George Frye traveled to that location and began watching the residence from a distance, the affidavit says. White exited the residence at approximately 9:11 p.m., according to the affidavit, and was ordered to the ground and taken into custody without incident by Williams and Frye. “While searching Mr. White for possible weapons, a glass smoking pipe was retrieved from the right front pocket,” the affidavit says. “Through training and experience, the pipe appeared to be a glass pipe commonly used for smoking methamphetamine. The glass pipe had a burnt residue within it. A further search of the same

pocket yielded a small plastic zip top bag, containing a crystalline substance (through training and experience the substance appeared to be methamphetamine). These items were seized as evidence, to be sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for analysis. After another deputy arrived to transport White to the Carroll County Detention Center, the affidavit says, Williams asked White if he was currently under the influence of methamphetamine and White replied “yes.” According to the affidavit, Williams asked White the last time he had consumed methamphetamine and White responded, “I just smoked some a little while ago.” White went on to tell Williams: “You should probably have that meth tested … I think it has been mixed with bath salts,” according to the affidavit. After arriving at the detention center, White agreed to speak further with Williams, the affidavit says. During the course of that conversation he admitted to consuming methamphetamine earlier that day and also admitted to pointing his firearm at his wife, according to the affidavit. White told Williams that he wanted his wife to quit “nagging” him and leave him alone, the affidavit says. White motioned with his finger, holding his hand like a firearm, as he simulated pointing the firearm at his wife, the affidavit says. He also admitted to consuming methamphetamine on multiple occasions over the previous few weeks, according to the affidavit. White was later transferred to the Benton County Detention Center in Bentonville, where he appeared before a judge on Friday, July 29. Prosecutors asked that bond for White be set at $35,000 but the judge instead set bond at $5,000. White posted bond and was released from custody. His next court appearance is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 8, in Carroll County Circuit Court. Neither White, who listed an address in Huntsville on the detention center’s intake log, nor his wife could be reached for comment.

Crescent Hotel intern presents Lake Leatherwood business plan By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Danielle Coleman has spent this summer researching and compiling ideas to make Lake Leatherwood City Park more successful. She presented this information on July 28, saying her major project was to create a business plan for the park. Coleman, a rising junior at Missouri State University majoring in hospitality, explained that she hoped to create a plan that will appeal to younger generations. Jack Moyer, general manager of the Crescent Hotel, explained how Coleman’s project will help the park long after she returns to school. “It’s primarily to look at it through your generation’s eyes, with the goal of making Lake Leatherwood a sustainable entity,” Moyer said. Coleman said the plan could help the Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Department transform its current operating loss on the Lake Leatherwood park into a surplus. “If you were to take all the recommendations into account and actually make them happen, you could actually have a surplus,” she said. “It’s just recommended that you reposition things capturing a younger demographic.” This new approach, she continued, would focus on the outdoors and the opportunities to stay overnight at the park. She said that means the park will need to add more options, including additional accommodations, the renovation of existing facilities and more hands-on activities. One of the most-needed improvements, she said, is the swimming area. Coleman said the current swimming area has a jumping platform and a floating pontoon that guests have to swim out to, as well as a beach area that isn’t very good for swimming. She recommends establishing a floating regatta island, placed in the middle of the beach-side of the lake. “This will allow for parents to feel comfortable with children going out and jumping, without the parents needing to be swimming as well,” Coleman said. She addressed the state of the trails, say-

ing the park has good trails but needs more information on the routes. She suggested having better, color-coded maps including the full trail forms tart to finish. Trail rest areas should be added throughout each trail, she noted, to give guests a place to relax while hiking or biking. The boating and fishing offerings are good, she added, as well as the kayaks and canoes. She questioned whether the commission could expand on the kayaks and canoes, calling those activities a big hit with visitors. She suggested other recreational amenities at the park, including horseshoe pits, an off-leash dog area, campfire pits, a game hall, a beach volleyball court, disc golf, croquet, bocce ball and a gazebo and picnic area. The accommodations for staying overnight, Coleman said, are not very good at the moment. She pointed out that the cabins aren’t at a state recommended for stays, recommending that the commission determine which cabins are functional with minimal

maintenance and shut down the others to be gutted and completely renovated. “The cabins have high potential to bring in a great amount of revenue,” she said. “Because of this possibility, they will be renovated to a greater liking of common guests.” She listed these renovations, including new air conditioning units, new paint, updated wooden flooring, a full bathroom renovation, an update to the ceiling tiles and updated furnishings. She recommended a design pattern that is rusted and uses earth-tones. “The exterior will be maintained and improved, but the interior requires 100 percent renovation,” Coleman said. She addressed the other accommodations, suggesting the addition of an electric campsite, a non-electric campsite, five bike huts, 16 RV sites, two upscale hike-in campsites to destination spots and a yurt village. To book these accommodations, Coleman recommended working with a reservation service. She noted that ReserveAmerica is a good service, saying it costs $199 monthly

with other small fees for online reservations. One of her biggest recommendations, Coleman said, is the addition of a kiosk at the front entrance of the park. She suggested handing out a map of the park and a brochure at the kiosk, saying it’s important to increase the signage and information as you approach the park. “Honestly, the first time I went up there, the road kept going and I was like, ‘Where exactly am I going?’ ” she said. “That’s why I recommended the kiosk and more signage.” Renovating the accommodations and working with a reservation service, she said, will help the park reach younger visitors like herself. She defined this age demographic as “early as anyone that can go out and walk to late 40s or 50s.” “So it’s probably the early college years to people who think they’re 45,” Moyer said, motioning to Bill Featherstone and Steven Foster. “All of us are candidates. We can visualize sleeping in a yurt.”

tenance team is working hard to get things ready. 32 “This time of year, people come in early. They stay late,” Pat Todd said. “There are just a lot of things we need to get done to be ready. I don’t think a lot of people realize the amount of work that goes into it. It’s a lot of work.” Todd, the district’s IT coordinator, said he has used the summer to work on projects that he couldn’t do during the school year. “If we have to get up into a ceiling to repair something, we don’t do that during the school year because of the dust,” Todd said. “During the school year, you may have an issue that takes priority over everything. If a switch or a server goes down, we have to fix it right now regardless of what we’re doing.”

The difference will be noticeable, he said, when all the students return to school in two weeks. “We’ve had issues in the past where you get 30 kids on one wireless access point and it slows way down,” Todd said. “Now with everything wired correctly, they shouldn’t notice a drop in performance.” It’s taken several years, he added, for the district to get where it needs to be regarding technology. He explained that big projects such as re-cabling the elementary building require the type of work environment only summer break provides. “We plan for this. All our large-scale projects happen throughout the summer,” Todd said. “We can’t open up a ceiling in a room and leave it See School, page 22

THE

Shining a light on supplements

Jim Fain

can’t believe the hatchet job mainstream reporting does on the effectiveness and safety of nutritional supplements. The idea of health and illness is very complicated, which these reports seldom acknowledge. Just like prescribed drugs, not everything is going to work for every person. In fact, the newest of research is on genetic markers showing whether or not new drugs will work on an individual person. Medicine knows there are many co-factors that go hand-in-hand with any illness as well as usefulness of medications. I’d add supplements to the list. As for genetics, something has to flip the genetic switch for illness to happen. The thing that flips or stops the switch is called a co-factor. As for the roll of the dice, chance does come into play, but co-factors are a big player as well. Here are some examples according to Julian Whittaker, MD. He says in his newsletter that if everyone 65 and older took calcium and vitamin D, about 776,000 hospitalizations for hip fractures could be avoided. He estimates savings at $16.1 billion. If people in the same age group took 1,800mg of fish oil daily, 374,301 hospitalizations for coronary artery disease would be cut back. Estimated total savings are $3.2 billion. If just a quarter of the women in child-bearing age not taking 400mcg of folic acid a day did use it, 600 mothers could be spared from certain birth defects, saving about $1.4 billion. And he says that if those with macular degeneration took 6-10 mg of lutein with other antioxidants daily, 190,927 of them might be able to remain independent and stay out of nursing homes due to vision loss. Estimated savings are $3.6 billion. Just a few supplements would cause a huge improvement in health and a huge reduction in cost. There are many, many more beneficial supplements and nutrients. For instance, a study I found published by the University of Victoria in Canada shows this from an entirely different point of view. The authors were from the Department of Geography. Geography? It seems people are more likely to have different diseases, or not, due to the co-factors found in the geographic areas in which they live and the nutritional content of the food grown there. The goal of illness prevention and quick access to good care includes nutritional supplements. Of course, the mainstream would have to come to terms with reducing cost and profit.

ARIES: Beware of bearers of bad news, and double your caution if they’re actual bears. It’s summer, and they’re just finding an excuse to eat you and take over your swimming pool. TAURUS: Life isn’t as bad as you think. It’s probably worse, but as long as you keep those rose-colored glasses duct-taped to your head, you’re good. Go out and enjoy yourself. GEMINI: Hearts and rainbows light up your path, and grateful peasants litter your lap with flower petals and cash this week, all because you make a great cup of coffee. Keep it up and you’ll have everyone under your caffeinated thumb. CANCER: Others may be afraid of screams in the dark, but not you. You’re the one who scattered Legos across the floor so the bogeyman couldn’t get to you. Sleep sound, because you’re the one all creepy things tiptoe around. LEO: You are a lighthouse in the fog of co-workers’ confusion. Shining brightly is well and good, but expect several ships crashing on the rocks while you go on vacation. Perhaps you can leave a disco ball in your place so they can admire something shiny while you’re gone. VIRGO: The greatest gift isn’t someone having your baby, it’s letting that person sleep in occasionally after they have your baby. Break out the Wiggles DVDs and Froot Loops if needed. LIBRA: Sometimes progress is a slow march through the swamp, and other times it’s a high-stepping run because there’s a mad bull behind you. Thursday will be a mix of both, so wear waterproof socks and your best running shoes. SCORPIO: Don’t worry about fighting fair on Friday; it’s not the whole fair you must triumph over, just a few selected carnies and that guy who runs the batting cage. Throw corn dogs past your foes to distract them, and make a break for it.

SAGITTARIUS: Everyone needs a little help sometimes, so quit biting that hand in front of you before it slaps your face off. Karma’s kindness has a strict limit on patience. CAPRICORN: You can soar like an eagle, or waddle about like a penguin. Either way, you’re popular on the Internet. If only you could turn those likes and shares into rent money. AQUARIUS: Nothing says “suc-

cess” like a great ride, winning smile and a level 20 profile on Pokemon Go. If you can’t swing any of those, offer to buy the beer while your friends chase some Zubats. PISCES: When the universe offers you too many options, you freeze in indecision. Thaw your mind and pick a card, any card. Karma will make the trick work in your favor, and all will be amazed.

‘It’s unbelievable how things change’

103-year-old woman recounts family, local history By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Mary Jane Fritsch sits in the corner of the room at Green Acres Assisted Living, her wheelchair turned toward the window. A nurse says Fritsch, who celebrated her 103rd birthday on July 29, can usually be found staring out the window. Fritsch confirms this. She says she loves looking over the landscape of Holiday Island. It reminds her of the place where she’s lived most of her life, she explains. “When the sun comes out, you can make out a little white house in the distance,” she says, pointing to a small, bright spot among the trees. “This is just a beautiful, wonderful place to live.” At Green Acres, Fritsch notes, she’s not too far away from her home. She remembers growing up in Carroll County, where she says her family allowed her to be the person she wanted to be. “It was great. I was free as a bird,” she says. Fritsch grew up with a half-sister but says she didn’t have any other siblings. She points out that she considers all the animals she’s owned part of the family, calling herself a huge animal lover. “I grew up with animals of all kinds, and at one time, I had 30 cats,” she says. “I’m a real cat person. I like dogs, too, but I’m a cat person.” Fritsch’s friend Francie Russell approaches the table and introduces herself. Russell, who has been friends with Fritsch since the 1970s, asks if Fritsch has told any of the old stories. Fritsch hasn’t. “Tell us about Greasy Jim and Sug-

ar Tooth,” Russell says. “Oh, Greasy Dick and Sugar Tooth,” Fritsch says. “I couldn’t remember his name,” Russell responds. “Tell us about him.” Fritsch explains that Greasy Dick lived in Carroll County in the late 1800s. She says her Aunt Margaret met Greasy Dick, a trapper by trade, when he moved to the area with his young wife and chose a spot near Cave Spring to build a home. Greasy Dick got his name, Fritsch notes, because of his hygiene. “The reason they called him ‘Greasy Dick’ is because they figured he’d never taken a bath,” Fritsch laughs. “He was friendly.” See Fritsch, page 23

said. “They clean them. They promote them. It’s hard to quantify everything they do.” One of the best parts of the group, Kendall Smith said, is getting to enjoy the trails he and other members of the group helped create. “You appreciate it more,” he said. “To be riding through and say, ‘Hey, I built that,’ is pretty cool. I like that. I like helping out.” Alissa Smith agreed.

“To find a really cool feature we incorporated into the trail system … we really enjoy that,” she said, adding that you don’t have to be a trail building expert to join the group. “When we started, we knew nothing about trail building. Nothing.” Griffee invited anyone interested in the group to join. He said the group has a page on Facebook called the Carroll County Ozark Off Road Cyclists and meets at 6:30 p.m. the second Wednesday of every month at Sparky’s Roadhouse Cafe. “Come on out,” Griffee said. “It’s fun. It’s a good group of people.”

Pet of the Week

“Toby” is a large 6 to 7-year-old yellow fox terrier and lab mix. He’s a handsome, smiley guy who tends to get overlooked because of his gray muzzle, but don’t let that fool you! He loves to run and would make a jogger or runner a great partner, but also walks calmly on a leash. Toby’s always up for an adventure and especially enjoys being petted and talked to. He’s also known to really bond with people who spend time with him and make him feel like the special guy he is. Toby has his shots and is neutered and is available for adoption at the Good Shepherd Animal Shelter at Highway 62 east of Eureka Springs. The shelter is open from noon to 5 p.m. every day but Tuesday and Wednesday. Call the shelter at 479-253-9188 for more information.

and has received multiple recommendations to create a commission with a dedicated revenue stream for the building. “Whether we do anything with it or not, it costs us money,” he said. “We’ve had two different committees look at what to do with The Auditorium, and both of them recommended establishing an Auditorium Commission.” He added, “But an Auditorium Commission is only valid and can only work if it has a steady revenue stream.” The building is currently operated under the City Advertising and Promotion Commission, Berry noted. He addressed criticism that the CAPC should be doing

cused fundraising efforts. We aren’t close to done raising money, but we feel very good about where we are starting,” Elderwind said. A new community volunteer team is being created, as well as a bi-monthly newsletter to keep the community informed about developments and opportunities for participation. “The big goal is to have monthly programming on site,” Murphy said. “We want to start the community cen-

more with the building, saying he disagrees with this assessment. “I think the CAPC’s money is being well-spent in advertising and promoting the city,” Berry said. “We’ve had more people come to town in the last two years than we’ve had in a long time.” The revenue generated for The Auditorium, he noted, will likely go toward maintenance on the building. “We want to fix the basement. We want to put an elevator ink,” Berry said. “Those things cost money. There are grants we can use, but those grants cost money.” He continued, “If we’ve got a $10 million grant for water and sewer, we can’t match 10 percent. The tax will help pay for matching monies on grants. The same is true with The Auditorium.” it for the families who need help escaping an abuser.

open for three or four days during the school year.” Facilities director Mike Dwyer agreed that summer is the best time for large projects. He said his team has been working on several projects this summer, including the renovation of the elementary school playground. Dwyer said he expects equipment to be delivered by next week for the playground. “That’s all that’s left. We’re going to do some fine tuning to make it look good, but that’s the remainder of the work on that property,” Dwyer said. He noted another project, saying the middle school gym now has LED lighting. Dwyer pointed out that LED lighting is energy-efficient and more aesthetically appealing than the lighting that had been in the gym. “The quality is much better than what we had. We’re trying to do that district-wide,” Dwyer said. Sarah Price, the middle school custodi-

contact with the subject. The subject and her baby were given a ride home to avoid the heat. 1:34 p.m. - An officer took a report on vandalism at a local hotel. 2:41 p.m. - An officer responded to a two-vehicle accident with injuries and took a report. July 29 7:52 a.m. - Two officers responded to the report of a disturbance at a house with an unknown male. A subject was arrested for public intoxication, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. 9:46 a.m. - A local business called to say someone had slept on the bench outside of their business and left behind some items. An officer responded and disposed of the items properly. 10:41 a.m. - Officers responded to the report of two female shoplifters at a local business and arrested both subjects. 12:24 p.m. - Officers and EMS responded to a one-vehicle traffic accident. The driver was unharmed, and the road-

an, described other projects the team has been working on over the summer. Price said these projects include stripping and waxing floors, deep-cleaning carpets and painting. Maintenance worker Bryan Dickelman noted that the painting is intensive. “When she says ‘paint,’ that’s the whole school,” Dickelman said. “Her school up there is 5,000 square feet. That’s all the classrooms, all the hallways. This is our hardest time of the year.” During the school year, Dwyer said it can be difficult to complete certain projects. “Year-round, we have the issues with trying to get into places with the children present,” Dwyer said. “We get to see everywhere when they’re gone. We get into places that are typically high-traffic areas.” He explained that he plans for the summer break with the rest of the team. Throughout the school year, Dwyer said he and his team plan the big projects they have to complete over the summer. “We have what’s called a master plan that we work off of every year. We build into that master plan,” Dwyer said. “It kind

of tells you what we’re going to do next.” Working in almost-empty school during the summer, Dwyer continued, is enjoyable because of the team atmosphere. He said everyone on the maintenance team feels like a family. “Any one of us can tell you something about the other. We get a little one-on-one time with everybody who remains here during the summer,” Dwyer said. “I look forward to this time of year. I know a few others do as well, because the stress level goes down.” He continued, “The intensity level goes up, but the stress goes down because we’re able to work at our own pace. Sometimes, we’re rushed during the school year.” Todd agreed, saying the IT team works in conjunction with the maintenance team. “We work basically as a large team. There’s projects we do that carry into their stuff, and some of their stuff carries into ours,” Todd said. What makes the team work so well together, Dwyer noted, is how much everyone cares about the job they’re doing.

“There’s a sense of pride, and that’s the type of people we have here … prideful individuals who love their job,” Dwyer said. “This is a good place to work. Whenever we have a ballgame or some event that’s going on, we prep like we’re having visitors at home.” He continued, “It’s the same thing. You tidy up. You make things look just a little bit better and take care of the details. That’s typically how we work.” Price pointed out that the students take pride in their school being clean, too. “The kids like it. They take pride in what they’re doing when they see a clean school and clean bathrooms,” Price said. “They always say, ‘Thank you.’ The longer you’re there, the more you get to know them.” Todd noted that everyone on the maintenance team gives 100 percent to make sure the students have a clean school to attend. “It’s not a job that you just put your time in and walk away,” Todd said. “I don’t think there’s anybody here that just stops after your 40 hours. Everybody’s here. Everybody works to finish a job, to get it done and to make a difference.”

Fritsch

Continued from page 19

Sometime after Greasy Dick built his home, Fritsch says, a group of gypsies visited the area. She explains that the group camped out by the road, saying Greasy Dick visited them out of curiosity. When he approached the main tent, she says he saw a woman much older than him sitting outside. “She was a lot older than him … middle-age … but she was beautiful,” Fritsch says. “So he went back the next day and he asked this guy, he said, ‘Could we trade wives?’ ” She continues, “He would trade his young wife to this guy for Sugar Tooth. They called her ‘Sugar Tooth’ because she loved candy. I don’t know what her name really was. That’s all I ever heard.” The man didn’t want to trade his wife, Fritsch says, but he did make a counter-offer. She says he offered to trade wives only if Greasy Dick would give him one of the two horses he owned. These horses pulled Greasy Dick’s wagon, but Fritsch says that didn’t matter to him. All Greasy Dick wanted was Sugar Tooth, she says. “He traded with him and took Sugar Tooth home with him,” she says. “Aunt Margaret said she talked to Sugar Tooth, and she asked Sugar Tooth how long she’d been with the gypsies, and she said as far back as she could remember.” Once he brought Sugar Tooth home, Fritsch says Greasy Dick realized he couldn’t give her the life she deserved in this area. He packed up and moved, she says, to take Sugar Tooth somewhere with better opportunities. “That was when everybody was going west,” Fritsch says. “Aunt Margaret said she never did know where they went. She just knew he was going some place where he could get a regular job and support Sugar Tooth in the style she would like to be accustomed to.” Russell asks Fritsch to talk more about Aunt Margaret. “Tell us about your Aunt Margaret and how she was the first woman who

put up a fence when it was free-range,” Russell says. “What year was that approximately?” Fritsch says it was around the 1870s when Aunt Margaret began acquiring property in the Eureka Springs area. Aunt Margaret lived alone, and Fritsch says she preferred it that way. “Aunt Margaret always hated men,” Fritsch says. “She said they drank and smoked.” The men didn’t like Aunt Margaret too much, either, Fritsch notes, when the state of Arkansas struck a deal with her to place a highway through her property so long as fences could be placed on each side of the road. “Nobody liked it,” Fritsch says. “It was all free-range in here, you know. Nobody had a real fence around the pens and things.” Aunt Margaret made sure the fences were high-quality, Fritsch says, by standing her ground against the state. Fritsch says Aunt Margaret was strongly against placing the highway across her property and wanted to sue the state at first. She explains that Aunt Margaret consulted with a lawyer, who told her it would be difficult to win a lawsuit against the state. “He said, ‘Maggie, if the state of Arkansas wants to put a highway through your place, they’re going to do it,’” Fritsch says. “Well, she had cattle on both sides … and she was having a fit. She sued them anyhow.” Fritsch continues, “They put a fence on both sides of the road, a real good, woven wire fence. It was real heavy, with barbed wire on top of it on both sides. That’s what she got out of it. She got a good fence, I’ll tell you that. She was very independent.” Russell points out that independence tends to run in Fritsch’s family. “It’s a strong line of strong women,” Russell says. Fritsch smiles and says both of her aunts were fiercely independent. “Aunt Jenny had a sweet disposition,” Fritsch says. “Aunt Margaret didn’t. I guess she was more like me.”
