The Berryville City Council made a move toward normalcy Tuesday, April 20, returning to holding its regular meetings at City Hall instead of the Berryville Community Center.
Mayor Tim McKinney said it was good to be back.
It felt good, McKinney said. The place feels like home.
It was the first meeting held at City Hall the former home of famed sharpshooter and Wild West showman Col. C. Burton Buck Saunders, who donated it to the city and willed land and property for the construction of the citys Saunders Museum, which houses one of the largest collection of rare firearms in the country. The museum opened for the season on April 15.

The Berryville City Council on Tuesday gave final approval to an ordinance modifying and updating the citys existing ordinance regulating the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption.
The measure, which was first proposed late last year, came up after the city received word from the states Alcoholic Beverage Control board that its current regulations were missing a key phrase relating to the sale of spiritous beverages.
In addition to updating the phrasing, the amended ordinance will also include a number of changes, namely restricting city officials both elected and employed from acting in any capacity other than providing informational aid or assistance to a business seeking a liquor license; setting the hours for sale of such beverages to 7 a.m. through 11 p.m. on Monday through Friday and from 7 a.m. through midnight on Saturdays; and imposing a 3 percent supplemental sales tax on the sale of such beverages

After 20 years in uniform, Berryville police officer Greg Noftsger officially retired on Jan. 29. Last week, he sounded as if was he already missing his job.
Spending the past three years as the school resource officer at Berryville Elementary and Intermediate Schools might have something to do with that.
If Id have known then what I know now, I would have started off as an SRO, Noftsger said Friday. I love working with the kids. Theyre just awesome. I dont know anywhere else you can go to work and get a hundred hugs a day.

Serving as a law enforcement officer comes with certain inherent risks. Most days, those risks are generally clear, but trying to provide the same service in the middle of a pandemic adds another element to the uncertain mix that officers face on a daily basis.
