Berry said he’s excited to continue positive growth in Eureka Springs, saying the city’s finances have improved. That allows the city to work on infrastructure repairs, Berry said, and qualify for matching grants. In the next four years, he said, he hopes to repair more sewer lines. Winning re-election, Berry said, is a good feeling.
“It shows the citizens of Eureka Springs believe in my vision for the city and feel confident where we’re going is a positive direction,” Berry said. “I appreciate the support everyone gave me.” The city council will have two new members.

A new chapter Library purchases adjacent property, plans to expand By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
The Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library is checking out some new property. Lucilla Garrett, president of the library’s board of directors, said the library has purchased the building next to it. Garrett said that includes a garage, garden area and two-story former antique store. The former antique store is more than 2,000 square feet, Garrett said, and that’s not counting the garage and garden area. “It’s really a large purchase,” Garrett said. “We’re thrilled about this — utterly thrilled. It’s the logical way for the library to expand.” Library director Loretta Crenshaw said the purchase makes sense for the library. “We owned two buildings with somebody else’s property in between, so at least now we’re contiguous,” Crenshaw said. “We’ll be totally contiguous down the street.” The library won’t be expanding immediately, Garrett said. She said the library doesn’t have enough money to purchase the building outright, saying Cornerstone Bank helped the library acquire the property. Until the library pays off some of that mortgage, Crenshaw said, the new property will be leased out to help with that. “Cornerstone has really helped us,” Crenshaw said. “They were just wonderful,” Garrett said. Cornerstone Bank president Jason Tennant said the bank was happy to help. “It made a lot of sense for the library to own this building next door to help expand and do the things they’re wanting to do in the future,” Tennant said. “Of course, we felt like it was a great project for us to be involved in. It’s a big part of the community. It just makes sense.” Just because the library can’t use the property right away, Crenshaw said, doesn’t mean it’s not a valuable asset. “It’s an investment in our future,” Crenshaw said. “It’s not intended to be a moneymaker for the library. The intent is to pay the mortgage down so the library owns it
outright and can use it as part of our property without having to rent it out to anybody else.” The future is bright for the library, Garrett said. She said the expansion could mean broadening existing programs and adding new ones. If it were up to her, Garrett said, she’d double the computers available to patrons. Right now, she said, there are eight computers in the media room. “I’d like to expand the media room to be double the size,” Garrett said. “It would be wonderful to have 16 computers. Every department of the library is bursting at the seams, so we do need more space.” Crenshaw said she sees many different opportunities for the expansion. She’d like to offer more meeting space to the community, Crenshaw said, and have a dedicated space for the library’s young patrons. “We talked about maybe having a library for children and teens,” Crenshaw said. “It would be nice if we could have space for them. We’re dreaming of a teaching kitchen and a maker’s space.” That’s something board member Martha Fargo can get behind. “I just see more space for the children,” Fargo said. “The existing space up there … it’s sweet and I love it, but it’s not big enough.” The garden space offers even more opportunities, Crenshaw said. There are many suggestions for that space, Garrett said, from additional parking to an outdoor program area. “We’re such an outdoor-focused community, but when we have something like an outdoor nature walk, we’re stuck on the sidewalk and a little strip of grass,” Crenshaw said. “We don’t have much here. The new space is wonderful.” She’s already heard from the Downtown Native Plant Garden Project about adding native plants to the space, Crenshaw said. “They’re really interested in making a showcase of that area,” Crenshaw said. “We want some space for programming surrounded with native plantings and plants

that are friendly to pollinators.” It’s important to expand the library, Garrett said, because most of its services are free. “We don’t charge for anything at the library except for Xerox copies, so there’s a lot of very free stuff at the library,” Garrett said. “Every month, between 6,000 and 8,000 items are checked out from the library. Those are magazines, books, DVDs and even CDs.” She continued, “In a town of 2,300 people, to have that many items checked out every month … that means a lot of people are using the library. In this age of technology, you’d think the library isn’t as needed. It seems to be needed more.”
Garrett said she’s grateful for the library’s staff, saying that’s what makes the library so successful. “The library does a lot of things. They go to Peachtree every week to take books and check them out to the residents,” Garrett said. “We are trying to help every age group in the community, and we’re actually doing it. We’re helping everyone from infants to senior citizens.” For those who would like to help out with the project, Crenshaw said the library is always accepting donations. To donate, mail a check to the Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library at 194 Spring St. in Eureka Springs. Be sure to note the donation is for the building fund.

Veterans Day Weekend commemorates sacrifice, service By Kelby Newcomb and Samantha Jones
CCNNews@cox-internet.com
Eureka Springs will be honoring the valor of its local veterans with several scheduled events this weekend, saluting their service with food, commemorations and more. Legends Saloon will kick off Veterans Day festivities in Eureka Springs with a Marine Birthday and Veterans Party from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9. There will be live entertainment, a free buffet for veterans, a cash bar and a silent auction. Eureka Springs’ 10th Annual Veterans Day Parade rolls through downtown Eureka Springs starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 10. All local veterans are the grand marshals in the parade, which honors women veterans, code talkers, transgender veterans, veterans who received a Purple Heart and everyone else who served. There will be a special place for veterans at the front of the parade, with a family section behind the walking veterans. American Legion Post 9 will have a ceremony and rifle salute at 11:11 a.m. in the Pied Piper parking lot, followed by a meet and greet with food provided by area restaurants. The Veterans Day Committee will bring
two special collections of military memorabilia and insignias from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10, and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 11. David Bradley and Don Edwards are bringing a trailer packed full of their collections. They are both from Oklahoma and will be in the parade and at the Meet and Greet. Both are knowledgeable and have stories to tell. Bradley has an extensive collection of World War II Air Corps memorabilia and will have at least six mannequins dressed in authentic uniforms, silver wings, pictures, documents and much more. Edwards also has an extensive collection of insignia for all branches of the military. He is recognized as one of the leading authorities on insignia in America. His collection goes back to the early 1800s. Admission is free and the event will take place at Main Stage Community Center at 67 N. Main in Eureka Springs. Warrior Gratitude, a yoga fundraiser for the Veterans Yoga Project, will be held Sunday, Nov. 11, in the Eureka Springs Community Center’s community meeting room. Mindful movement yoga practice, a chairbased practice for all skill levels, will be held from 1 p.m. to 1:50 p.m. Guided rest, a guided deep meditation to improve sleep
and energy levels, will be held from 2 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. The suggested donation is $15 for one class or $25 for both. Wendy Reese Hartmann, who will be teaching the class, said yoga is a way for veterans to cope with post-traumatic stress. “One of the problems with post-traumatic stress is your mind becomes your enemy, and the desire to numb yourself is strong,” she said. “Guided meditation is a way to relax and come safely into the body — to be able to merge those through the breathing and the visualization.” All proceeds will be donated to the Veterans Yoga Project, which Hartmann said served 7,800 veterans their families last year. Eureka Springs High School will have a Veterans Day assembly at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 12, in the auditorium. The assembly will feature veteran recognition, a slideshow and patriotic music. There will be a free lunch for veterans when the assembly ends. The Bragging Rights Hamburger CookOff will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Nov. 12, at the Pine Mountain Village Parking Lot, where local restaurants compete for the best burger in town. For a $5 donation, you can get a drink, sample all the burgers and vote for your favorite burger and grill cook.
Embattled Mayfield fires chief deputy By Scott Loftis CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
Carroll County Sheriff Randy Mayfield fired Chief Deputy Maj. George Frye on Monday, Frye confirmed. “I have been terminated, and I’m reviewing my options,” Frye said. Mayfield did not return messages on his office and cell phone. The firing came on Frye’s first day at work after a weeklong vacation and less than a week after former District 3 Justice of the Peace Lamont Richie’s resignation. In his resignation letter, Richie

writes that Frye and other employees of the sheriff’s office reached out to him

Mayfield initially denied making the comments, which occurred during a meeting with two sheriff’s office employees on Oct. 2. However, after Carroll County Newspapers obtained video footage from a security camera located outside the meeting room, Mayfield admitted using the slur in reference to Richie and apologized in a letter. In his letter, Mayfield writes that he See Frye, page 11

A Cup of Love seeking donations to open shelter By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
A Cup of Love Ministry is hoping to expand its services, and founders Chuck and Pattie Jarrett are reaching out to the Carroll County community for help. The Jarretts are raising money to open a temporary shelter at 4032 E. Van Buren in Eureka Springs, where they have fed the community for more than a year. They offer several kinds of soup and desserts from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and open the food bank from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Fridays. The next logical step, Chuck said, is to open a temporary shelter to help those in need during extreme weather — hot or cold. “We prayed about the shelter situation and hoped someone else would take it on,” Pattie said, “but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.” Pattie said they are working with the owner of the building to rent-to-own but need to raise $30,000 for a down payment first. They can’t start any kind of construction, Pattie said, until that happens. “We can’t build until he knows we’re serious,” Pattie said. “We have to have that down payment.” The temporary shelter would help those who have no place to go in the winter and summer, Chuck said. He said he and Pattie frequently receive calls from people seeking shelter. “Just 10 minutes ago we turned a person down because we don’t have that yet,” Pattie said. “We have people call all the time looking for a shelter, and we have to send them out of town.” “It just breaks my heart,” Chuck said. “It feels like we can’t help anybody.” Chuck said they plan to renovate the building, moving the sanctuary to the front and building a shelter in the back. That would flip the current floor plan, Pattie said. “As soon as we sign something, we’re going to get on it,” Chuck said. “It’ll

happen in a week when we do it.” To raise the money for the down payment, Pattie said, they will have several fundraisers this month. There will be a yard sale and coat exchange starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 10, followed by a Chili Cook-off from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17. It costs $5 to taste and judge the chili, and you can enter to win prizes at the event. Those wishing to donate to the down payment can stop by in person, Chuck said, or check out the ministry’s GoFundMe page at https://www.gofundme. com/a-cup-of-love-ministry. It’s important to raise money as quickly as possible, Pattie said, because winter is coming. “I don’t want to go through another winter knowing there’s people out there who could freeze to death,” Chuck said. “We’ve got to do what we’ve got to do to take care of people in need.” Pattie said they are also accepting other donations for the shelter, including cots, blankets, pillows and sheets. She said she hopes the ministry can continue to grow its presence in Carroll County. “It may be a temporary shelter now, but down the line it could be something we do permanently,” Pattie said.

THE
Vitamin E benefits
More and more scientific studies are proving the value of Vitamin E. Three newly published papers that were published in prestigious journals all show real benefits for having Vitamin E in your diet. Since the researchers began using natural Vitamin E with their test subjects, the data has consistently shown benefits for a variety of conditions. One such study concludes, “Vitamin E intake, from foods or supplements, is associated with less cognitive decline with age.” Mind you, this was from an article in a prestigious neurology journal. Another published study from a different neurology journal proclaims benefits for a variety of conditions such as anorexia, depression, Alzheimer’s, cardiac disease including heart attack and more. Yet a third recently published paper shows benefits for the prevention of cardiac disease and breast cancer. We’ve known for a long time, Vitamin E is essential when dealing with hormone replacement, the monthlies and for keeping the skin in good care when taken internally and applied di-
rectly. There is even suggestion that it will help soften a hardened liver from cirrhosis, which can Jim Fain be caused by drinking, or Hepatitis C. The days are gone when science couldn’t make up its mind if Vitamin E was good for us. Researchers have awakened to the fact that the form of E makes a lot of difference. They now see the synthetic E, which is cheap and isn’t worth much, and the natural, which is still inexpensive, is worth its weight in gold. This isn’t news to most folks with common sense — how could a synthetic from a petrochemical base be as good as a fully natural product? Big duh! I’m glad to see this substantiating data come along, though a little late. Seems reasonable to me for people to supplement with 400 IU daily without illness or risk factor and 1000 IU with illness or risk factor. Prevention is hard to prove but the data is showing up and E is good for you.

Carley Joan (Hudson) Perry
Carley Joan (Hudson) Perry passed away Oct. 29, 2018 at the Apostolic Christian Villa after a period of declining health. She is full of joy and had been looking forward to meeting her Heavenly Father and being greeted by her mother, Bertha (Verhagen) Hudson (d1931); her sister, Shirley Jane Hudson (d1934); her father, Robert Alfred Hudson, (d1960); her husband, Robert Eugene Perry (d1967), and her companion, Rev. Robert J. Dombrowski (d2009.). Carley was born in Mishawaka, Indiana on July 7, 1929 and spent her youth in South Bend. She flirted with the good looking fireman that worked across the street and they married on March 31, 1948. She was welcomed with open arms into the Perry family. Shortly after, she joined the Catholic Church and has remained an ardent believer. She worked in many fields over her life.... made boots at Ball Band in Mishawaka, Indiana, was a secretary at a machine shop in South Bend, Indiana, sold real estate in Flint, Michigan, and was an accounting clerk at several businesses. Her final and favorite job was maintaining the rectory’s as their housekeeper in Fort Wayne and Decatur, Indiana. Carley traveled the United States and many countries outside the U.S. She made friends everywhere she went. If you’ve ever met Carley, then you loved her. You most likely played
Myrtie Mae’s!
Pinochle, Euchre or Cribbage at her kitchen table or she held you while you spilled your troubles to her listening ears, slept in one of her extra beds, or you prayed with her. And she probably fed you...many times over. Carley and Bob had five children who have survived, Christine (Robert) Fogarty, Thomas Perry, Suzanne (Rodney) Wentz, Peggy (John Two-Hawks) Hill and James (Becky) Perry. She is also survived by many grandchildren, numerous great-grandchildren, a spattering of great-great-grandchildren and many other people that knew her and loved her as “mom”. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a contribution to the Apostolic Christian Village, 10680 Steiner Rd, Rittman, OH or the Pine Ridge Girls School, P.O. Box 406, Porcupine, SD 57772. A Memorial Mass will be held on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary Catholic Church, 527 Beall Ave., Wooster with Rev. Stephen Moran as celebrant. The family will receive friends following the service. Interment will be held at a later date at the Southlawn Cemetery in South Bend, Indiana. McIntire, Bradham & Sleek Funeral Home, 216 E. Larwill St., Wooster is assisting the family. Online condolences may be left for the family at www.mcintirebradhamsleek.com.

used the slur during “a momentary loss of professionalism.” Mayfield has not commented since then. Richie resigned on Oct. 30. His resignation letter cited Mayfield’s comments and the lack of any official response from other county leaders. “Since the ‘momentary lapse’ (that lasted from October 6 until October 22 and likely would have continued had it not been for ‘the recording’) following

The vehicle was moved before the officer’s arrival. 5:54 p.m. — An officer responded for a report of a disturbance over reckless driving. The caller advised the truck had left and she did not wish to speak to an officer. 6:13 p.m. — An officer conducted a welfare check on a small child. All was well.

No report was required. 12:06 a.m. — An officer responded to a report of possible transients. 2:29 a.m. — An officer conducted a welfare check.

the Sheriff’s homophobic slur, many people, including Lt. Mark Bailey, Maj. George Frye and Lt. Jerry Williams from the CCSO, have reached out to me privately disavowing and condemning the mindset that resulted in one person calling another ‘f****t,’ ” Richie writes. “Friends have expressed horror and dismay. My appreciation has been heart-felt. … Yet, to my knowledge, there has been nothing officially said since this happened to assure the many LGBTQ people living in Carroll County that it won’t happen to anyone else.”
Richie said he was informed of Frye’s firing on Monday. “I was sorry to learn of it,” he said. Asked if he thought the firing was related to his own difficulties with Mayfield, Richie said: “That was my first thought.” Richie said he spoke with Frye after the firing. “I asked if he was planning to file a grievance, and he didn’t have an answer,” Richie said. “I’m sure there was some shock. It’s sad.”
