Mayfield defeats Grudek in sheriff’s race By Alana Cook
Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
Carroll County will have a new sheriff on Jan. 1. Democrat Randy Mayfield, a Berryville police officer, defeated Sheriff Bob Grudek, a Republican, by a margin of nearly 23 percent in Tuesday’s general election. Final but unofficial numbers show Mayfield receiving 4,945 votes (61.4 percent) while Grudek received 3,103 votes (38.6 percent). The results were announced at about 11:45 p.m. Monday night at the Carroll County Courthouse in Berryville. Mayfield and his family stayed until the last minute to watch the votes being counted. “I’m really humble about it,”Mayfield told the Citizen. “I would like to thank my supporters and all the folks that voted and all of Carroll County. I’ll be humbled and honored to represent all the cities of Carroll County.” Mayfield’s wife held back tears of joy. “I’ve always believed in him and am really grateful,” Kristi Mayfield said. Mayfield’s daughter, a dispatcher for Benton County, beamed as she sat by her father. “I’m proud of my dad. He will be a great sheriff. He’s a great dad,” Heather Mayfield said. Grudek, who is completing his fourth term as sheriff, said Tuesday that he has enjoyed his time in office. “I have been sheriff for eight years in my 36-year career and those have been the most rewarding,” Grudek said “ I am very proud of the deputies, dispatchers and jailers, and I leave very proud of what my people have accomplished over the last eight years.” Grudek, 71, said he plans to spend more time with his family. “I just got back from a Viking River cruise to Europe and I hope my wife and I can take advantage of more trips,” he said. “… It’s time for us to start doing those things with family and this will give me the opportunity.”
Grudek added that he will continue to be involved in the community. Circuit Clerk Ramona Wilson, a Democrat, was re-elected. Wilson received 4,410 votes (54.9 percent) while her challenger, Republican District Clerk Betty Neal, received 3,618 votes (45.1 percent). In Eureka Springs, Robert “Butch” Berry was elected mayor without opposition. Clerk/Treasurer Ann Armstrong was re-elected by a wide margin. Armstrong received 509 votes (68.7 percent) while challenger Mary Jean Sell received 232 votes (31.3 percent). Joyce Zeller was re-elected to her Ward 3, Position 2 seat on the Eureka Springs City Council. Zeller received 403 votes (56.2 percent) while challenger Ferguson Stewart received 314 votes (43.8 percent). Two-term incumbent Ron Flake was defeated in his bid for re-election as District 4 Justice of the Peace. Marty Johnson, who ran as an independent, received 465 votes (58.9 percent) compared with 324 (41.1 percent) for Flake, a Republican. Republican Donald W. McNeely was re-elected as District 8 JP. McNeely received 332 votes (61.9 percent), while his Republican challenger, Mike Miller, got 204 votes (38.1 percent). Miller, 62, was killed in a one-vehicle accident Monday night on Highway 62 two miles east of Garfield in Benton County. District 97 State Rep. Bob Ballinger, a Republican, defeated challenger Charles “Sonny” Carter, a Democrat. Ballinger, whose district includes portions of Carroll, Madison and Washington counties, received 6,224 votes (64.8 percent) while Carter received 3,382 votes (35.2 percent). All the results and vote totals are final but unofficial until they are certified by the Carroll County Election Commission. The commission is scheduled to meet at 1 p.m. Monday to certify the results.

EUREKA SPRINGS – Should the Ebola virus come to Eureka Springs, emergency medical responders may be equipped to handle it – or not. Speaking to the Western Carroll County Ambulance Commission Oct. 21, Eureka Springs Fire Chief Rhys Williams said that when he had heard about the person in Dallas who contracted the virus, and the inadequate response by health care personnel there, resulting in dozens more people being exposed, it drew his attention. “What took place in Dallas can pretty much happen anywhere,” Williams said. “Everyone started pointing fingers and asking whose fault it was. This was an eye-opener.” He said personnel at the fire department are updating the protocols for handling this kind of disease. Chairman Ken Mills noted that another current virus, Enterovirus D68, a rare respiratory virus that is infecting children across the U.S., could already be here. Williams agreed. With regard to Ebola, he said, “If we suspect a patient with Ebola, we’ll evaluate and treat it like a HazMat (hazardous materials) situation. If you get skin contact with [bodily] fluid, you could come down with it.” He said that just that day, the Centers
for Disease Control chief made two separate announcements about what type of HazMat suit health workers need. “We’ll lean toward [getting] the HazMat B suit,” he said. According to the Santa Clara County, Calif., Fire Department, Level A suits are total containment protection against solids, liquids, gases and vapors, but Level B suits are not airtight, so they do not provide protection against gases and vapors. Should a health worker treat an Ebola patient, the suit, uniforms and their equipment have to be decontaminated, said Williams. “Will Ebola come to our area?” Williams asked. “It’s possible. We have a lot of people who travel or visit here from other areas. It could be here next week.” He said once the protocol is in place, his department will meet with all the district EMRs to go over it. But that doesn’t mean they will come to your house if you exhibit symptoms, even if it turns out you have only the flu, which has the same symptoms as initial-stage Ebola, he said. “We may have to limit EMR contact with patients.” Williams said in the Ebola case in Kansas City, “the ambulance crew was exposed to it and then responded to several more calls – everyone who was exposed to it was sent home for 21 days.” Williams said Central Dispatch will

be given a copy of the protocol once it is complete. “They may have to ask people [calling in] with flu symptoms if they have been to West Africa,” said Inspiration Point Fire Chief Ed Thompson. In other business, Williams announced that was his last meeting, as he is retiring from his job at the end of November. He has 30 years in fire and emergency services, two of them as a volunteer. He said he might be leaving the area. “It’s been a good ride, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it,” he said and added he will hold the EMR virus protocol meeting before he retires, however. The board welcomed new member Sam Ward of Inspiration Point, who is replacing Jim Simmons. In his resignation letter, Simmons stated he must move from the area to attend to a family matter. The board, with two members, Mark Minton and Marie Lee, absent, approved Ward as vice chairman, which was Simmons’ office. The board was to consider job descriptions for each of the officers, but will postpone it until the full board can meet. Ambulance performance reports for August and September show a total of 113 calls, with 62 from Holiday Island, 14 from Inspiration Point, 13 from Highway 23 South, 10 from Highway 62 East, eight from Grassy Knob and two each from Highway 62 West, Rockhouse area and Highway. 23 North. Nine calls took more than 15 minutes to reach, with five in Holiday Island and four in Grassy Knob. Some refused transport, a couple were because of distance and those transported were without lights and sirens. Sixteen of the total calls were “no treatment, no transport.” “A lot of times it’s not the patient that calls,” Williams said. “It’s a family member or bystander.” The approved financial report shows a total of $290,347 in WCCAD coffers. Of $15,860 budgeted for EMR expenses for the year, $13,427.50 has been spent.

School district completes nearby property purchase By Kathryn Lucariello
CCNhi@cox-internet.com
EUREKA SPRINGS – At a special meeting Oct. 31, the Eureka Springs School Board voted to purchase a small plot of land, which followed the purchase of a house next to it in September. The plot, which was .67 acres, belonged to Lawrence Smith and was purchased for $15,000. This plot is also adjacent to a house for sale the board had voted to bid on at
auction on Aug. 27. The house was in the name of Betty J. Smith. However, the auction was postponed. The house property, located across from the middle school, at 43 Greenwood Hollow Rd., was approved by the board for purchase in an amount not to exceed $95,000. At the auction, rescheduled and held on Sept. 26, the school district was the only bidder, and officials were able to purchase it for $75,501.
Correction
Eureka Springs Alderwoman Mickey Schneider voted against a proposed ordinance to ban circuses involving animals at
the Oct. 27 meeting o sf the Eureka Springs City Council. An article in last week’s Citizen incorrectly reported Schneider’s vote.

An art show and silent auction will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, and from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 9, in
the city auditorium. Items from the auction will be available for pickup at 3 p.m. Sunday. Artists may set up at 10 a.m. Saturday. The American Legion Bragging Rights hamburger cook-off will be held Monday, Nov. 10 in the Pine Mountain Village parking lot. Restaurants and the general public may participate.

First Digital Gallery Stroll at Zarks Gallery Zarks Gallery will host the first ever virtual gallery stroll on Saturday, Nov. 8. Booker Morey will video conference with Zarks from his studio in California to discuss his elegant collages constructed from natural leaves. Always a favorite with customers, his proprietary process preserves the intricate structure and restores the brilliant natural colors. Morey will make a presentation at 3 p.m. and be available to meet and dialogue with attendees via video conference between the hours of 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. The interview and studio tour will be recorded and continuously streamed until closing at 8:30 p.m. Saturday. An extensive collection of his work will be in the gallery. This is the initial event in a new series of ARTe-strolls to be scheduled at Zarks Gallery. “While nothing can replace the ex-
perience of meeting an artist in person, we are enthusiastic to use technology to interact with the individuals who create the beautiful work represented in the gallery,” Zarks said in a press release. “These digital events will be kind to the environment as no fuel will be expended for travel. Video conferencing will allow our staff and customers to learn from a more geographically diverse group of artists from across the country. They will also result in less impact on artists’ schedules as the time commitment is only a few hours versus several days. We will still continue to host numerous events throughout the year with artists present at the gallery in person.” The event is part of the second Saturday series of Gallery Strolls organized by the Eureka Springs Gallery Association.

An open letter to the City Council
hank you for passing Ordinance 2219 on its first reading. This is an important step to not only protecting our community, but protecting animals as well. This ordinance also serves to showcase our town as upstanding and progressive-thinking. It is my understanding you have received emails with inaccurate information, so I am compelled to correct it. First, ESFD did not decline to do the elephant wash because they “feared the politics.” In speaking with Randy Ates on Oct. 30, who had Chief Williams’ permission to discuss this with me, when they were asked they already had their fire meeting and training night planned for that same evening and, as Mr Ates told me, “it would look like we [the fire department] weren’t supporting the City Council’s decision and we wanted to do the correct thing and support City Council.” Secondly, there was no known organized “boycott” of the after school daycare bake sale. As a matter of fact, I attempted to contact Brenda Tenan (organizer) in September via email to see about helping them to raise money and received no response. And not only did I go on record at the September Parks meeting that we would repay the $500 retainer and provided a list of human-only circuses, but I called Danny Cameron (another organizer) on his cell phone and offered to raise the $3,000 the school would make if the circus shows sold out — he hung up on me. With regards to Parks Chair Featherstone claiming at the Oct 21 Parks meeting you are “tak[ing] precious time away from the real business of running our town” is not only insolent, but also offensive and incorrect. Part of your responsibility is to protect the health and welfare of our citizens. Eureka Springs City Council has obviously repeatedly addressed various animal issues as reflected in all 15 pages of Title 6, Animals and Fowl, in our City Code. Many of these chapters address public safety and animal welfare concerns: exactly the same issues before you now in Ordinance 2219. And Director Levine’s comment at the
same meeting that “Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts” is of course true, but he should not decide to ignore facts for convenience. He claims it’s “implausible” animal abuse is occurring because of “the USDA and animal rights watchdogs.” What he fails to acknowledge is, for example, instances such as the several shown in the 2014 video below. All of this abuse is perpetrated on Carson and Barnes elephants (please note they are all wearing C&B headpieces), all occurring in 2014, and all during performances, where the USDA does NOT monitor. h t t p : / / w w w. a d - i n t e r n a t i o n al.org/animals_in_entertainment/ go.php?id=3689&ssi=10 (Scroll to the middle of the page for the short, but very telling, three-minute video). Moreover, animal advocate groups document the abuse and work to support local ordinances to pass laws to protect animals: these groups have no power or authority over the circuses themselves. The fact the newspaper has interviewed the owners of the circus who deny any abuse should not surprise anyone: the surprising part is they cannot produce a single solitary piece of evidence their training methods are humane! Again, and it must be considered, the USDA does not monitor training sessions and, as you know from previous information provided to you, it is extremely difficult to investigate and prosecute circuses who are constantly on the move and constantly changing employees. Again, thank you for acknowledging this ordinance as an important local and global issue and passing it on its first reading. Moving forward, I hope you will see this through and do the same on the second and third reads. Respectfully, Rachel Brix ••• Rachel Brix granted The Citizen permission to print this letter to the Eureka Springs City Council, with the clarification that it is a letter of gratitude and information for the council.
Citizen of the Week Elizabeth Kelley, president of Community First Bank, has graciously offered to purchase a Vipertek Micro Stun Gun with an LED flashlight for every Realtor in Carroll County. Kelley made the offer at a recent meeting of the Eureka Springs Carroll County Board of Realtors. The board met with Darren Parker of Shadow Enterprises of Berryville, who teaches personal safety classes. Local Realtors are implementing new procedures for showing properties. Mark Mattmiller, president of the Realtors board, nominated Kelley as the Citizen of the Week. “It was a very generous gift that not only could save a life, but
helped emphasize the message that we need to be more mindful of our surroundings,” Mattmiller said. For her generosity and her concern for the well-being of her fellow citizens, Elizabeth Kelley is the Citizen of the Week for Nov. 6.

A
Painting the state red
rkansas went red Tuesday night, and we aren’t talking about Razorback red. Republicans made virtually a clean sweep of all the major Arkansas races in the 2014 General Election, from U.S. Rep. Tom Cotton’s victory over incumbent Mark Pryor in the U.S. Senate race to Asa Hutchinson’s defeat of Mike Ross in the Arkansas governor’s race. Even two Republicans who seemed to have some pretty hefty political baggage were elected to statewide office — Leslie Rutledge will be our new attorney general and Dennis Milligan was elected state treasurer. Republicans also won races for lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor and commissioner of state lands. Clearly, Tuesday’s results reflect a sea change in the Arkansas political landscape. It wasn’t so long ago that a Republican had a snowball’s chance in July of being elected to a statewide office here. Now, however, Arkansas voters have turned that pecking order upside down. What this all means for the average Arkansas resident and what it means for Carroll County and Eureka Springs is hard to guess at this point. Interestingly, while the statewide Republican candidates all carried Carroll County by a wide margin, Democrats came away with some big victories in local races — most notably, Democrat Randy Mayfield’s unseating of Republican Sheriff Bob Grudek. Circuit Clerk Ramona Wilson scored a 10-point victory over Republican challenger Betty Neal. In perhaps the biggest surprise of the night locally, Republican Justice of the Peace Ron Flake lost his District 4 seat by
18 points to challenger Marty Johnson, who ran as an independent. Flake’s voice will be missed from the Quorum Court, where he was one of the most vocal JPs. Some might see that as a cause for criticism but in our view it reflected Flake’s genuine concern for the well-being of the county and his willingness to come to each meeting informed and prepared. But we digress. There is little doubt that Tuesday’s Republican tidal wave was a reflection more of voters’ dissatisfaction with the status quo, and in particular their distaste for President Barack Obama, than with their faith in the Republicans they elected. So, what now? Beating the Democrats at the polls is one thing. Picking up the reins of government and shaping public policy that actually benefits the public is an entirely different, far more challenging task. What will become of the state’s Private Option and the 200,000 Arkansans who now receive insurance coverage through the program? Will Hutchinson’s proposed changes to the state’s income tax reach fruition, and if so, what effect will they have on the state’s budget? Will the state have to reduce services to balance its budget or will Hutchinson find a way to cut taxes and maintain services? On the federal level, will newly energized Republicans take another swing at repealing Obamacare? Will the Republican resurgence continue through the 2016 presidential election? All these questions will be answered in due time. As for now, all we can do is hope for the best.

Eureka Springs police have arrested a suspect who allegedly broke into a vehicle at Grub & Pub 169 and allegedly shot out the front glass door of a local convenience store at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday. Police said Ryan Bauer, 43, was seen on surveillance video entering Tad’s
Quick Stop after breaking in and stealing cigarettes, alcohol and milk. Bauer also allegedly stole a laptop from a vehicle parked at Grub and Pub. Shell casings from a .45 caliber were recovered from both scenes. Police described Bauer as a transient but said he is originally from Springdale.

The 3rd Annual Eureka Springs Day of the Dead Parade & Zombie Crawl kicked off at dusk Saturday. The hearses, doomsday vehicles, and post-mortem street performers lumbered down Spring Street, leading the mass of more than 200 undead. Hundreds gathered on street corners to catch a peek at the various creative interpretations of undead and their hunters. Flesh was peeling from faces, skulls were opened to expose brains and eyes were gouged to leave open cavities. The parade lasted just under an hour.

The Golden Girls of Eureka Springs took first place in the Costume Contest on Saturday night at Eureka Live. The competition was stiff – a team of luchadores, a devil and a pope, and Thing 1 and Thing 2. The ladies did indeed rise to the occasion and nabbed the $100 prize. Interlooping with the contest was the ever-popular drag show, hosted by Felicia Blackheart and crew.

A Tribute to Our Veterans:
Museum Salutes Eurekans’ Military Service By Jennifer Jackson
JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com
In 1918, the five Walker sons — Charles, Digby, Crandall, Ernest and Floyd — posed for a photograph at Harding Springs. Front and center in the photograph is Crandall Walker standing tall in his Army uniform. That photograph was used by an artist who was commissioned by the Walker family to create a large oil painting of Crandall, who died that fall in the Battle of Argonne Forest, which ended World War I. The painting hung in the shoe department of the store the Walker family owned on North Main Street, where it was a fixture for generations. “Everyone who went in the shoe department sat down and looked up at him,” said Suzanne Williams. “The locals associate him withe shoe department.” Williams is a volunteer at the Eureka Springs Historical Museum, where the portrait, donated by Mrs. Digby Walker, is now in pride of place in a new exhibit, “A Tribute to Our Veterans — Eureka Springs in Service to Our Country.” The exhibit will officially open Nov. 11, Veterans Day, with a reception after the parade and gun salute at 11:11 a.m. “We are hoping people take the time to come and look at it,” William said. “There is so much here to see.” The exhibit includes a stunning World War I poster, painted by artist Walker H. Everett, promoting the sale of war bonds. Another treasure found in the museum’s
collection is a Red Cross Friendship Quilt top made by the women of Eureka. Each of the squares has a red cross and two embroidered signatures, of the woman who made it and her husband. It was probably made in the early 1930s, Williams said. Other handcraft in the exhibit is a gray wool vest, knitted by a Red Cross volunteer, that was worn by David Cowen, who served in the Navy during World War I. Other artifacts include the canteen used by Glenn Dresback during World War I, the Purple Heart awarded to Major Frank Lee Beals, commandant of Camp Steever, and the helmet and bronze star of Col. C.C. King, who fought with the 6th Army in World War II. The cocked hat, epaulets and sword belt presented to Lonnie Roark before World War II are also on display. Another family photograph shows Mildred Clark’s three brothers, Grover, Kenneth and Jack, in military uniform. Of the three, Kenneth did not survive the war. For the exhibit, Williams compiled a list of all the men from Carroll County who served in World War I, the men and women who served in World War II, and the Gold Star Boys, the men killed in action in World War II. The list of Carroll County women who served in the military during World War II is not complete, Williams said, so the museum is hoping people who know of female relatives or family friends in the service during the war will supply the names. The exhibit also includes items from Korean veterans. A book, “Carroll County Men

with the Colors, 1942-1945,” will be displayed in a case, as it is too fragile to be handled, Williams said. New at the museum: greeting cards featuring a photograph of the doughboy statue in Basin Park. The photographs were taken by Steve Shogren of Holiday Island. Williams’ next project: researching the history of the statue. Once the exhibit is over, she also plans to record all the names on the Red Cross Friendship Quilt, which has more than 250 squares.
“A Tribute to Our Veterans -- Eureka Springs in Service to Our Country” opens Nov. 11 with a reception at the museum, 95 S. Main, following the 11:11 a.m. gun salute. Free admission on Veterans Day. Refreshments will be served. Museum hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Museum admission is free to veterans for the duration of the exhibit. Donations are being accepted for the restoration of the World War I war bonds poster.

Marie Therese Turnock
Marie Turnock was very special to so many different people. She passed away on Oct. 21, 2014 with her family at her side. Marie Therese (Jurek) Turnock was born Aug. 4, 1955. Marie and her husband Don moved to this area in 2005 in order to be closer to their children. Marie quickly established herself in Eureka Springs. She was compassionate, intelligent and very capable in many different fields. She was an astute businesswoman who developed multiple businesses which she operated from her home. Locally she was well known for Spider Woman Graphics (which will be continued by her husband and daughter). Because of her interest in natural healing, she established the New Earth Healing website which provided free publicity for those interested in sharing their knowledge. She also put on the Healing Path Expo for 3 years. The Expo caused many people to move to Eureka. She was very artistic and designed beautiful, creative websites and quilts. Marie was a strong woman who considered all options and

The Natural Way Unsung heroes of supplements
There are many unsung heroes in the supplement world. My next few columns will focus on these wellJim Fain known but mostly forgotten wallflowers. Just like in our lives there are those that are steadfast — those who we know are there but who are so humble it is very easy to just not see them and take them for granted. In this column I’ll be shining the light on Echinacea, Royal Jelly, Bee Pollen and Brewer’s Yeast. Echinacea root (Echinacea angustifolia) is one of the first supplements I learned about more than 20 years ago. The root extract is the most potent but the whole plant can be beneficial (Echinacea purpurea), so be sure to read the label to be sure you’re getting what you want. European standardization creates the most reliable choice for potency. This oldie but goody has been around for a long time and when I did a Pub Med quick search I found 154 scientific studies. It is considered a safe, useful and mild herbal beneficial to the immune system, a good thing for children (liquid tincture) and parents (capsules) during cold and flu season. Royal jelly is reserved for the aristocracy in the bee hive. The makeup of royal jelly is mostly water, about 10 percent protein, including small amounts of many different amino acids, and about12 percent simple sugars. It also contains many trace minerals, some enzymes, antibacterial and antibiotic components, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and trace amounts of vitamin C. When checking Pub Med hundreds of studies were referenced, (for example go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih. gov/pubmed/22995464. This one concluded, “Sixmonth ingestion of Royal Jelly in humans improved erythropoiesis, glucose tolerance and mental health. Acceleration of conversion from DHEA-S to T by RJ may have been observed among these favorable effects”. Putting this in normal language what they are saying is that they found benefits in improving red cell numbers/production, sugar tolerance, mental health and an improvement in natural testosterone production. Bee Pollen has long been used to reduce allergy to pollen. It has been called a nutrition super-food and described as having beneficial effect on health and beauty and cholesterol (lowers bad, increases good), while enhancing physical activity.

Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: No one expects the Spanish Inquisition, but no one expects the cable installer to be on time or a politician to tell the truth, either. On Tuesday, be prepared for the comfy chair. TAURUS: It’s hard to find your spot in the universe, because no one supplies a place card. Just keep wedging those butt cheeks into different corners; you’ll eventually find a perfect fit at a bus stop or Denny’s. GEMINI: Everyone applauds your ability to hold your tongue, but they don’t see the duct tape under the makeup. Rip it off tonight and scream into a tub of ice cream before your eyes pop out, so you can go back to being amazing tomorrow without kicking old ladies in the shins. CANCER: You owe someone an apology this week. Could be your boss or sweetie, but it’s probably the dog, who now has to wear fart-resistant doggie diapers because you’ve blamed a plethora of poots on him. Take some treats to make your “I’m sorry” stick. LEO: You may not know the score in the game of life, but you can recite all the really funny cheers and you have a talent for keeping beer and hot dogs out of your hair, so you have that going for you. VIRGO: Forget about going where everyone knows your name; they probably have plenty of dirt on the rest of your life too. Head to a place where no one knows about the wombat and the Cheez Whiz, and you’ll feel better about yourself. LIBRA: In every life, a little rain must fall, but you don’t have to stand out in it with your mouth open like a turkey with a death wish. Step into a doorway and cozy up to that hottie; if you’re smooth, you could make your own rainbow. SCORPIO: You have a million-dollar idea but no one will give you two cents of their time. Cash in a few I.O.U.s from some important friends. It may not help, but you’ll enjoy the sweet taste of making them listen through guilt and obligation.

CAPRICORN: Everyone knows you can’t get blood from a turnip, which is why it’s wise to avoid the school bake sale next week. Those gluten-free turnip muffins should only be used in self-defense.

Irene Paula Vermillion Murray Oct. 20, 1926 – Nov. 1, 2014
Irene Paula Vermillion Murray, 88, of Holiday Island, Ark., passed from this life on Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014, at Peachtree Village Assisted Living Center in Holiday Island. Irene was born Oct. 20, 1926 in rural Purdy, Mo., near Stones Prairie, daughter of the late Casper and Mathilda (Schneider) Schad. She attended schools in Purdy, and in her early years Irene was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church at Stones Prairie. Irene lived in Monett for many years, where she was a wonderful homemaker and Mom, and attended St. John’s Lutheran Church in Monett. She then moved to the Tulsa, Okla. area, and worked for Fred Taylor Furniture in Broken Arrow, Okla. Irene came back to Monett for several years as a home health care worker for Oxford Health Care. She then relocated to Eureka Springs, Ark., where she worked at Angel of Rose Hall Bed and Breakfast, assisting with weddings and tending to their beautiful flower gardens. Most recently, Irene lived in Holiday Island, Ark., where she was a member of the Grace Lutheran Church. Throughout Irene’s life, she found many things that brought her enjoyment. A few of them were photography, traveling, boating, astronomy, old barns, lighthouses, antiques, and hiking the state and national parks. She also enjoyed learning about the history of Eureka Springs, Ark. and Pierce City, Mo. and collected antique postcards from both towns. As a young woman she learned to fly an airplane, even making a solo flight. During her 15 years living in Eureka Springs,
Irene spent many hours enjoying the Eureka Springs Carnegie Library, the local art galleries, and walking in the historic areas of town, making friends wherever she went. In 1945, Irene married Kenneth Vermillion. To this union, three children were born. She later married Jim Murray. Irene was preceded in death by her husbands; one brother, Oscar Schad; and two sisters, Margaret Schad and Dora Bounous. Irene is survived by two sons, Tim Vermillion (Denise), of Golden, Mo. and Stephen Vermillion (Donna), of Springfield, Mo.; one daughter, Nancy Bass (Gary), of Monett, Mo.; three grandchildren, Matthew Vermillion, Anne Phillips (Ty) and David Vermillion (Erin); and three great-grandchildren, Allison Dillinger, Colin Vermillion and Ian Vermillion. Irene was blessed to have all these years with her family and friends, as she herself was a cancer survivor. A service to celebrate Irene’s life will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2014 at Buchanan Funeral Home with Reverend Phillip Wolf officiating. Interment will be in the Stones Prairie Cemetery. Visitation will be held prior to the service, beginning at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Eureka Springs Carnegie Library in care of the funeral home. Irene’s family would like to extend a special thank you to all the caregivers who were there for her no matter what the hour. Arrangements have been entrusted to Buchanan Funeral Home, 301 Euclid Ave, Monett, Mo.
