ES gets gritty win at Homecoming game By Ty Loftis CCNSports@cox-internet.com
The Eureka Springs Highlanders gutted out a 45-35 homecoming win Friday night against Kingston. “The first thing I told the guys in the locker room was we hate to lose pretty, but we love to win ugly,” Eureka Springs coach Brian Rambo said. Junior Garrett Cross led the Highlanders with 18 points despite getting in foul trouble early in the second quarter. “We were still plus one with him sitting on the bench for that six minute stretch,” Rambo said. “It was kind of good for our basketball team in a way because you hate to depend on one guy. We had an opportunity to play without him.” Eureka Springs had an early 10-2 lead, as Garrett Cross and Slade Clark each scored five points. The Yellowjackets fought back, though and had a 15-14 lead minutes into the second quarter. Baskets by Dalton Arnold and Brandon Ray enabled the Highlanders to take a 21-18 lead into halftime. Rambo said it was nice for Eureka Springs being able to get a conference win on homecoming. “I told my guys that as you grow older and go through life you have memories of the game,” Rambo said. “The one thing you don’t want to remember is going out and getting your butt beat.”
Cross scored the first five points of the third quarter, as he helped extend the Highlander lead to 31-25 going into the fourth quarter. The Highlanders (10-5) host Hartford on Tuesday and Rambo said it would be great if they could have a fourgame winning streak heading into Christmas Break. “It would be huge to get to 11 wins and keep the momentum going,” Rambo said. “Hopefully turn the corner. We all know what happened last year after the break. We went on a big run with big wins over Alpena, Omaha, Green Forest and Berryville. We are kind of hoping for the same thing here.” Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. Kingston 49, Eureka Springs 37 The Eureka Springs Lady Highlanders led by seven points at halftime, but only scored eight points in the second half en route to Friday’s homecoming loss. Emily Bird made two three-pointers in the first quarter for the Lady Highlanders and Katelyn Ross added another as Eureka Springs led 13-12 at the end of the first quarter. Baskets by Gracie Lester and Grayson Ertel gave the Lady Highlanders a 29-22 halftime lead. “The girls came out tonight and played a great first half,” Eureka Springs coach Adam Brothers said. “We just couldn’t put

two halves together.” Baskets by Megan Holloway and Ross extended that lead to 11 early in the third quarter, but the Lady Yellowjackets went on a 21-0 run to take a 43-33 lead midway through the fourth quarter and get the victory. “The girls have worked hard all year
long and are getting better by the game,” Brothers said. “If we can stay out of foul trouble and make good decisions on the offensive end, we should make an impact by tournament time.” Holloway finished the game with 12 points, while Ross had 11 and Lester scored eight.

The Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission is ready to take on 2018. On Wednesday, Dec. 13, the commission focused on its 2018 budget. Chairwoman Susan Harman said the budget looked good but was missing $10,000 for the Christmas festival and $10,000 for entertainment during May Festival of the Arts. Harman said she’s not sure about spending $25,000 on May Festival of the Arts, saying that would be in addition to the $10,000 for entertainment. “I don’t know if we’ve come to a consensus as far as how we want to write that out,” Harman said. “I think we had agreed on all the other special events, but that one was in question.” Director Mike Maloney said the $25,000 would not be spent on promotion. “The money for MFA basically goes to the art community to create art,” Maloney said. “Of course, art’s in a variety of formats, from theater to music to printed materials. Last year, we did it with $15,000.” He continued, “I think we barely got by. I think we really squeaked by with that amount of money, and I think the $25,000 this year would open the door to additional participation and help the overall program be more dynamic. I think we really owe the festival as much opportunity as we can to drive traffic to Eureka Springs for this production.” With the additional $10,000 for entertainment, Harman said, that would put the expenses for May Festival of the Arts at $35,000. Commissioner Carol Wright said that makes sense considering how long the
festival is. “It’s a month-long event, right?” Wright said. “I think we have to consider how many weekends and how many days it’ll happen.” Harman asked events coordinator Andy Green if the extra $10,000 would be used throughout the month, and Green said it would. “I don’t plan to use it all in the first week,” Green said. Commissioner Terry McClung said $35,000 is a lot of money to spend on one festival, saying he hopes more funds would mean more visitors during the week. “The only way I’m willing in my mind to put $35,000 into that festival is if they’re making a concerted effort to fill rooms at midweek,” McClung said. Maloney said many of the events featured during the festival encourage midweek visitors, such as the Plein Air Festival. “The plain air artists are painting all week long,” Maloney said. “I think the intent really is to go ahead and foster the middle of the week business. It’s always our goal to boost that … business.” Harman asked if the budget could stipulate that a certain percentage of the funds be spent on midweek events, and Maloney said he could do that. The commission moved on to other budget items, with commissioner David Mitchell saying Green is a contracted employee whose wages appear on the salaries and wages line item. “For me, salary and wages means a budgeted employee that’s on the salary and gets benefits and you keep up with it,” Mitchell said. “I never saw a contract person’s contract under salary and wages. It seems it should be pulled out of salaries and wages.” Finance director Rick Bright said that
would be easy to do. “We can do a different line item for events coordinator,” Bright said. “The reason that was set up is previously they were just an hourly employee, or salary employee, that did events.” Commissioner Dusty Duling moved to approve the budget with the addition of $10,000 for the Christmas festival and $10,000 for May Festival of the Arts entertainment, along with Green’s wages becoming a different line item. The commission voted unanimously to approve the budget. Also at the meeting, the commission saw several videos from videographers throughout Northwest Arkansas. Maloney said he asked the videographers for examples of their work to determine who to work with in 2018. “I submitted to six different people and these five submitted,” Maloney said. “They’ve all got pretty good work.” Duling said he liked Eureka Springs resident Edward Robison’s work the best. “I think it’s plain to see Edward has the flavor of Eureka Springs and the creativity we want to set ourselves apart,” Duling said. “He can tell a story that’s intangible [about] the thing we have here better than the others.” Maloney agreed. “The one thing I really like about Edward’s work is he tells stories,” Maloney said. Mitchell said he liked all the videos. “Because I didn’t objectively see anything lean one way or another, I’d be more inclined because the quality is there to stick with a local person,” Mitchell said. Duling moved to award the contract to Robison, and the commission agreed. The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 10, at The Auditorium.

Planning commission OKs plans for Echo Village By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com
After months of planning, the Echo Village is closer to becoming a reality. The Eureka Springs Planning Commission heard from Dan Bell about the affordable housing community on Passion Play Road on Tuesday, Dec. 12, with Bell describing what the project will entail. It will include 24 homes ranging from 400 to 800 square feet, Bell said, and eight of the homes will be designated for certain individuals. “There will be two of the homes for transient homeless, two of the homes possibly for prison release, two of the homes for mental health issues and two of the homes for disabilities,” Bell said. “The other 16 homes are intended to be for people who live there permanently, a mix of young and old people who want to assist others and live in an ideal community.” Volunteers plan to visit Eureka Springs to build seven of the homes in June, Bell said, and it should be easy to get those
done. He said a grant will pay for one of the homes, the Methodist church will help build another and one individual in town has agreed to pay for their home. “We think the first seven can be done relatively inexpensively,” Bell said. At the end of the project, Bell said, the homes will be surrounded by a circle drive with a central gathering place in the middle. He plans to make the project as energy-efficient as possible, Bell said. Planning Commission chairwoman Melissa Greene read letters from fire marshal Jim Kelley and public works director Dwayne Allen saying they support the project. Commissioner Ann Tandy-Sallee asked if the houses would be for long-term or short-term residents, and Bell said some residents won’t stay long but others will live there on a permanent basis. “The core, the 16 families … they may live there more permanently,” Bell said. “That’s the core of the long term.” Tandy-Sallee asked if the residents would be required to follow guidelines to
live there, and Bell said they would. “So it’s going to be kind of like a halfway house?” Tandy-Sallee said. “Not exactly,” Bell said. “It’s going to be a help to those who need help.” Does that mean individuals who have been arrested for a sex offense, Tandy-Sallee asked, wouldn’t be allowed to live there? City preservation office Glenna Booth said the planning commission can’t make decisions based on that. “He can rent to whoever he wants to. You’re looking at infrastructure,” Booth said. “He’s also looking at rules and conditions,” Tandy-Sallee said. “Not from your standpoint,” Booth said. “You’re looking at the infrastructure of the project. Who he rents to is his business. You don’t go around and tell other people who they can rent to.” Bell said the project has the community in mind. “What we’re trying to do is meet a need for the community,” Bell said. “People
can’t find places to rent right now.” Commissioner Tom Buford moved to approve the application for the project on the stipulation that parking requirements be included in the plan and a document will be filed saying the project will comply with the provision regarding the maintenance of common areas and the streets. The commission voted unanimously to approve the project. The commission adjourned and moved into the Board of Zoning Adjustment meeting where Bell presented an application for a tree removal permit for the project. Commissioner Doug Breitling recalled a site visit to the area where the houses will be built, saying he was impressed by how few trees will be removed during construction. “I think they’ve taken a great deal of effort to minimize the number of tree cuts that are involved,” Breitling said. Breitling moved to approve the tree removal permit, and the commission agreed to do so.

2 arrested on burglary charges
Two Carroll County men have been arrested on theft charges after a string of commercial burglaries in Berryville and Eureka Springs. According to a press release from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, 21-yearold Adam Bailey of Eureka Springs and 30-year-old Tom Morris of Oak Grove were booked into the Carroll County Detention Center on charges of theft by receiving, three counts of commercial burglary, three counts of theft of property, tampering with Bailey physical evidence and arson. Both were also charged on an existing warrant. The release says deputies responded to an intrusion alarm at a convenience store in Oak Grove on Dec. 11, finding the front window smashed and the cash register missing from the store. Deputies located Bailey walking in the vicinity of the store
wearing socks but no shoes, the release says, and observed glass fragments on his shirt. Deputies found a truck at a nearby residence, the release says, that they believed to be used in the burglary. The truck contained broken glass fragments and shoes matching footprints at the store, the release says. Deputies arrested Bailey and later Morris at the residence where the truck was located, according to the release, and both subjects were Morris transported to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office where they were interviewed by investigators from CCSO, the Berryville Police Department and the Eureka Springs Police Department. Bailey and Morris are being held at the Carroll County Detention Center. Bond has been set at $100,000 each.

Locals supporting locals Think globally, act locally. We’ve all heard this slogan a million times and intuitively understand the wisdom but struggle with how to implement it in a way which has meaning. Certainly, with the immense events of the last year we all have had Jima Fain a lesson on the broad interconnections of global community. Acting globally can be easier than acting locally as the places and people are far away. Whereas, acting locally means by definition doing something which affects your family, friends and community. People close to us have more emotional impact on us — they mean more to us. Living in balance includes this recognition; the health of your community affects not only your global connections but importantly you and your family. Our town struggles with a local Ozark economy — we all know what this means and just how difficult it is. It only takes one thing to occur to change the promise of good times to the reality of struggling through. Which most of us courageously and steadfastly do — some exhaust themselves and transition on. For you and your family I give you five of my favorite supplements. MSM in an organic sulfur which is found in all living tissue both plant and animal. It is a very fast acting anti inflammatory taking pain away within minutes of swallowing or rubbing onto a body via crème. I know of no downside using up to 6,000mg/day in almost all people. It also helps improve skin (collagen), hair and nails as well as improve cartilage while reducing allergies. I take 1,000mg each morning as new research shows a linkage to not having enough MSM in the diet to coronary artery disease. I take 3,000mg at bedtime if I need to be able to sleep the night without low back pain. Probiotics at low dose, 1 capsule each day, keeps digestion in line as well as supporting immune system health. I’ve read scientific literature linking inadequate probiotics to plaque buildup in all arteries due to certain proteins not being digested. Right at the end of prescribed antibiotic therapy a course of increase probiotics is called for, otherwise trouble can follow. Yogurt isn’t strong enough and not all supplements are equal. Magnesium is required for a huge list of body processes yet we don’t get enough in our diet. Making this worse is that prescribed drugs like heart medicines decrease absorption of this very needed mineral. I like the chelated type and take two tablets daily. AdvaCal calcium is the only calcium I recommend. This is extremely safe as it is so highly absorbed … much higher than any other type or brand. Osteopenia, osteoporosis, bone health and even if you’re taking acid blockers like Pepcid indicate the need for this supplement. D-Mannose is remarkable and useful when you have an acute or even chronic urinary tract/bladder infection. Fast, to the point and easy to use describes this simple gift of nature. Change in life is often difficult but seeing is believing. Try these and see! I ask you all to recognize the importance of Eureka Springs to your lives. Look out for each other, adopt a concerned attitude — do what you can do for your community, your family, your friends, yourself. Act locally, think globally and have the best new year.

CCSO fires deputy after dismissal from academy By Scott Loftis CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com
A Carroll County Sheriff’s Office deputy was fired last month after being dismissed from the state police academy. Deputy Nathaniel Drebenstedt was terminated on Monday, Nov. 20, three days after an official at the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy in East Camden notified CCSO Chief Deputy Maj. George Frye that Drebenstedt was found asleep in his room at the academy and smelled of alcohol. Juan Reyes, a training supervisor at the academy, wrote in a Nov. 17 memorandum that he arrived at the academy at 7:35 that morning and “was immediately made aware” that Drebenstedt had been drinking alcohol. Reyes wrote that he and class coordinator Tony Madlock went to Drebenstedt’s
room at 7:50 a.m. and found him asleep. “I woke him up and had him stand up,” Reyes wrote. “He smelled of alcohol. I observed a ‘rug burn’ style wound on his nose and forehead. … I asked Drebenstedt if he had been drinking. He indicated that he had been drinking but did not know where the bottle was. I asked if anyone else was drinking with him and he stated that there was no one else. I advised him to collect his things and that he was dismissed from the academy.” Reyes then contacted Frye, who requested that Drebenstedt be given a field sobriety test, according to Reyes’ memo. Drebenstedt failed the field sobriety test, Reyes wrote, and Reyes took possession of the keys to the Carroll County vehicle that Drebenstedt had driven to the academy as well as his department-issued weapon.
