Letters to the Editor

I love to tell people about places that deliver on promises and Blair’s Auto is one of these places. This auto repair shop has been delivering on promises to customers and they are ecstatic about the work that is being done on their cars. I meet and talk with many locals and tourists to Eureka Springs and I am proud to recommend Blair’s Auto. We need to promote local businesses that are representing the great people of Eureka Springs. Keep up the great work...

Dear Editor: The letter to the Editor titled: Code enforcement is Haphazard, is the opinion of one B&B owner (maybe one other) and needs to be recognized as not representing the opinions of the majority of B&B owners in this community. Behind this letter was: (an attempt to call most B&B owners in town to not sign the affidavit and to meet on April 14, 2019 to protest). ...

The We’ve Got Talent Concert held on Sunday March 31st at the Eureka Springs Auditorium was a huge success and played to a large gathering of students, families and music lovers. Our most heartfelt appreciation goes to Artistic Directors Donesa and Rick Mann for their wonderful production of this year’s concert and to all our talented performers who created an incredible afternoon of entertainment...

I am writing this letter to shout a big thank you to the South Carroll County 911 Dispatch operator and to Mr. Rick Wheatley. Last week, I had a flat tire between Alpena and Osage — an area where cell phone coverage with my provider was weak or, most often, non-existent. Though I was able to change the tire, the spare was also flat as it had been unused for years and so I called my roadside assistance provider. Almost two hours later, the provider finally responded with information that they could find no one in the area to respond. By that time it was after 6 p.m. Aside from one car that stopped early on while I still expected eventual assistance from roadside service, no one else had offered help despite the fact that I was an older female, with a small grandchild, and apparent car trouble. ...

Dear Editor, This past week, much to my vexation and irritation, I, along with other B & B owners within the residential areas of the city, received a letter from Eureka Springs Planning Commission Chairman, Ann Tandy-Sallee. The letter (dated March 15, 2019) instructed us (the aforementioned owners) to complete an attached affidavit, certifying that we live on the properties of our respective B &Bs, that we have the affidavit notarized, and that it be returned to her attention by a specific date. ...

Dear Editor, The Learning Center of North Arkansas would like to send out a Special Thank You to the communities in North Arkansas who have supported our adult athletes. Friday March 8, 2019 was our 9th Annual Red and Purple Basketball Tournament. We were blessed with the support of a multitude of people in the surrounding communities...

I speak for a lot of people who were upset at the Candlelight Vigil this past Wednesday. The Candlelight Vigil was organized by a student who knew and was close to the boys that were killed. She volunteered to have a STUDENT-led Candlelight service and had given the principal the itinerary of what the program was to be about and who was to speak; which was approved the day before the Vigil. The Vigil was NOT student-led...
