Battleground Eureka

City attracts national attention as election nears

Editor’s note: This is the first of a twopart series. By Alana Cook Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Nestled between a growing Northwest Arkansas metroplex with a thriving arts and film community, and a rural area that is home to a close-knit population of conservative-leaning Christians, Eureka Springs has become the battleground for the struggle for LGBT civil rights and religious freedom. The tourist town is known for being accepting of everyone but since the passage of a civil rights ordinance that prohibits discrimination against LGBTs, which was approved by the Eureka Springs City Council on Feb. 9 and signed into law the next morning by Mayor Butch Berry, decades-long tensions between the city’s conservative Christians and left-leaning population have re-emerged — a fact that

has not gone unnoticed by national media and powerful interest groups on both sides of the issue. Eureka Springs voters will decided to keep or repeal the anti-discrimination ordinance in a special election on May 12. The campaign for keeping the law, Keep Eureka Fair, and the campaign for repealing it, Repeal 2223, are stepping up efforts as the election nears. Should voters decide to keep the law, it could be the test case for a Constitutional challenge, according to leaders of both campaigns. The city council adopted the ordinance as a pre-emptive measure to a new Arkansas religious freedom law, sponsored by state Sen. Bart Hester, and signed by Gov. Asa Hutchinson, that prevents cities and and counties from passing such anti-discrimination ordinances. Eureka’s left-leaning city council passed the ordinance in one night on an emergency

clause while the religious freedom bill was floating through the Arkansas House. The action took local media by surprise because it was not on the council’s agenda. Shortly after the city’s passage, the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce issued a position statement questioning the law and the chamber’s executive director, Mike Bishop, was ousted. Two board members, including Sandy Martin, who is now heading up the Keep Eureka Fair campaign, resigned. Former chamber operations director Toni Rose, who also resigned, is now working with the Repeal 2223 campaign. A 66-foot statue of Jesus welcomes tourists as they drive into a town where many businesses display rainbow flags in support of the town’s LGBT community. Not far from the Christ of the Ozarks is the First Christian Church, where several Repeal 2223 meetings have held.

The church’s pastor, Philip Wilson, who opposes the ordinance, told a New York Times reporter last week that the law “will increase traffic of gays [to the town] and decrease families.” Wilson and other Repeal 2223 supporters, including Bishop, the former chamber director, say they believe that Eureka Springs is — and should stay — a family destination. “As a Christian, I am concerned about who made the decision to use Eureka as a pawn for the Human Rights Campaign,” Wilson said. Wilson, who has lived in Eureka Springs for almost 13 years, said that until now everyone has gotten along but there is a new movement to “force acceptance” of the law in violation of “religious conscience.” Martin disagrees. “If we are a country that believes in See Battleground, page 10

Photo by Kent Butler

Passion Play opens May 1 The Great Passion Play opens on Friday and Saturday, May 1 and 2, to start its 48th season. Featuring a cast of over 175 actors and actresses, the play is performed amid a 550-foot historically accurate stage and brings to life the thrilling epic drama surrounding Christ’s last days on earth, including his death, resurrection and ascension. The play is offering specially discounted tickets for locals. Residents of Carroll County can get tickets for only $5 for performances of the Great Passion Play on opening weekend as well as May 8 and 9. Simply show proof of residence in Carroll County and enjoy the play, the Bible Museum, the Sacred Arts Museum, free music concerts, David the Shepherd, and the Parables of the Potter. The Great Passion Play runs 1 hour and 45 minutes, featuring an original musical score composed by Phil Perkins and performed by the world-renowned National Philharmonic Orchestra of London. This year’s performance will also feature horses, donkeys, and dozens of birds as well as 3 camels donated by

the “Wild Wilderness Drive through Safari” in Gentry, Arkansas. “This year, we hope to see even more people attend the performances and sites that we have on the grounds,” shared the Passion Play’s CEO Randall Christy. Christy said almost 100,000 tickets were issued to visitors to the grounds last year, and it is estimated that over 250,000 people came to see the statue, the play, and other onsite attractions in 2014. “We also hope to raise funds to restore the Christ of the Ozarks memorial statue,” he said. Christy also mentioned that the Play would be hosting trails rides on May 15 and 16 as well as a Gospel Music night on October 8. Kent Butler, a cast member and director of marketing for the play, also mentioned that people who have seen the play in the past can be guests in the production. “We are excited to give people an opportunity to become a part of the experience,” he said. “A limited number of people per performance will actually be able to walk the streets of Jerusalem and join us in recreating the events in the last

week of the life of Christ,” he said. “To take advantage of this opportunity, simply mention that you would like to be in the play when you make your reservation via phone, regular ticket prices still apply, and the reservation assistant will direct you to the right person.” “We have backstage tours during the day,” Butler said, “but this is more like a backstage experience because you actually help bring Jerusalem to life. We provide the costumes,” Butler added, “but just make sure that you bring your own sandals. The dressing rooms usually have extra sandals available, but that is where I personally draw the line.” The2015 season will run from the first weekend of May through the last weekend of October. Ticket reservations, performance schedules and special event information are available online at GreatPassionPlay.org or call toll free 800882-7529. Residents can use the coupon code CARROLLCOUNTY to make reservations online and present valid photo ID or proof of residence when you pick up your tickets for Friday, May 1 or May 8, and Saturday, May 2 or May 9.

Repeal 2223 releases campaign video with pastor convicted of serial rape By Alana Cook

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The group working to repeal Eureka Springs’ anti-discrimination ordinance released its first campaign video Sunday. The ordinance, which was approved by the Eureka Springs City Council on Feb. 9 and signed into law the next morning by Mayor Butch Berry, will be the subject of a May 12 special election after the council voted later to let voters decide whether to keep the law in place or repeal it. The video features local pastor Acra Turner, who was released from prison in August 2000 after pleading guilty in 1977 to three counts of first-degree rape. The video, which was released on the Repeal 2223 website Sunday night, also features Mike Bishop, former president and chief executive officer of the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce, and state Rep. Bob Ballinger, R-Hindsville, speaking against the law. Turner, a model prisoner who was president of the prison’s inmate council, or-

I love them but as far as the law itself, I don’t feel like that’s a very good law, especially with no due process,” Acra says in the video. The Keep Eureka Fair campaign declined to comment, but Jayme Brandt, a strong supporter for Keep Eureka Fair and owner of Twice Born, a Christian custom apparel shop, agrees with Bishop. “Every Christian has a past. We cannot change and be remade. I am living proof,” he said. “Acra is a forgiven man and deserves to be treated with grace. If you are voting for 2223, remember to show respect, grace and love in all things. The heart of this law is to protect people from being mistreated by others that think their actions are evil.” Brandt addressed Turner directly in a message on social media. “Acra, I love you brother. Even though we disagree on this law, we are brothers.”

Man, 38, drowns in Beaver Lake By Scott Loftis

CarrollCountyNews@cox-internet.com

A Missouri man drowned early Sunday in Beaver Lake, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said. An AGFC spokesman identified the victim as Russell Charles Johnston, 38, of Seligman, Mo. “He was on Beaver Lake on the Carroll County side near the dam,” said Keith Stephens, the AGFC’s assistant chief of

communications. Stephens said Johnston and three other people were apparently in a 10-foot flat-bottom boat. He said there were no life jackets on the boat. The initial 911 call came in at 2:30 a.m. Sunday, and the body was recovered about 7 a.m., according to Stephens. The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office assisted AGFC officers in the search effort.

County health committee discusses drug survey By Samantha Jones

CCNNews@cox-internet.com

The Carroll County Health Committee met for the second time Monday morning. The committee, Renee Allison said, is the first step toward forming a health coalition in the county. Allison, the aquatic and program manager at the Berryville Community Center, noted that the committee began as a way for the city to qualify for certain grants. “There are so many grants out there and available for communities, but none of us are organized enough to apply for them,” Allison said. “The committee is actually a chance for us to meet and document it so we can obtain some of that money.” While it is currently just a committee, Allison said the group will form a coalition once it becomes better organized. At Monday’s meeting, Laurie Reh and Codi McCuistion presented the Arkansas Prevention Needs Assessment Student Survey. Reh, who works with the Regional Prevention Provider, said the survey is a

Allison said the committee briefly discussed partnering with Meals on Wheels to retrieve prescription drugs from the homebound elderly but feared certain negative consequences. “We didn’t want them to think we were stealing their medication,” Allison explained. Mann concurred, saying she didn’t support the idea because she doesn’t want to confuse the elderly. “Sometimes they get confused about what they should take and what they shouldn’t take. We didn’t want to go there and ask for them. We didn’t want them to feel like we were taking their prescriptions away,” Mann said. Allison added that residents who cannot participate in the drug takeback can return prescription drugs at a mailbox outside the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office 24 hours a day.

Call for volunteers to help build biking and hiking trail downtown The newly formed Ozark Off Road Cyclists is calling for volunteers to help build a new soft surface hiking and biking trail in downtown Eureka Springs. Volunteers can participate in one or both of the two working days, which will begin at 9 a.m. next Sunday, April 26 and 9 a.m. the following Sunday, May 3 at Harmon Park. The Eureka Springs Trails Committee asked OORC to build the soft surface portion of the Spring Garden Loop. The city is building a trail made of crushed limestone that is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and that will run east from Harmon Park toward Main Street. OORC will be building the single-track return trail downtown from, and parallel to, that trail. “It’s going to be multi-use for biking and walking,” Crystal Rust, the club’s secretary said. “The trail will be a mile long and half a mile is already finished,” she said. “The

crushed dirt trail will run parallel to the handicap accessible trail,” she said. “It’s going to be really cool,” Nate Griffee, OORC chairman said. “It will be perfect for dog walking, hiking, trail running, and mountain biking. It’s out in the woods, but it’s right in the middle of town,” he said. “This is our chance to be a part of something big that will benefit this community for generations.” Volunteers will meet at Harmon Park near the bathrooms and Griffee said that there will be jobs for everyone. “There are easy jobs and hard jobs such as lopping branches, dragging limbs, digging, raking, snipping roots, taking photos, carrying tools, etc. Please show up and help out as much as you can. If you can’t show up at 9, it’s better late than never,” he said. Fundraising, sweat equity from volunteers and grants provided funding for the project.

Many of you knew Rudee, the regal black and white Great Dane that served as the official Spokes-dog for the Good Shepherd Humane Society for the last five years. On April 19, Rudee quietly crossed the Rainbow Bridge after a valiant battle with Wobbler Syndrome, a debilitating disease of the cervical spine, commonly seen in large-breed dogs. Rudee made his home with Brenden and Cheryl Johnson after being rescued at the age of two from a neglectful situation in Fort Smith in 2009. He arrived in a red mini-van on a snowy Christmas Eve 40 pounds underweight, covered in fleas and dirt, and in serious need of socialization.

Dear Editor: As a physician, I want all patients to feel welcome in my clinic, so usually I don’t make public political statements. However, due to some of the incredible misinformation that I’m hearing in the discussion over Eureka Springs Ordinance 2223, I must speak out. I have read several letters and guest editorials — in both local newspapers — and seen multiple advertisements from those wishing to overturn Ordinance 2223 and have been angered at the outright lies and hateful misinformation concerning transgendered people. In my practice I have treated many transgendered folks. I have treated their run-of-the-mill acute illnesses as well as their chronic illnesses. I also have helped many on their way to making their bodies match the gender that they know they really are. Additionally, I have known many transgendered people socially. I can state unequivocally that I have never met a transgender person who saw their situation as an opportunity to molest someone in the bathroom. I have never met a transgender person who chose to be transgender. Each and every one of these fine people were born knowing that the gender their minds told them they were didn’t match the sex of their bodies. The incredible struggle that transgendered people go through as they bring their bodies into alignment with who they are is long and painful.

Citizen Survey Would you be open to more groups traveling to Eureka Springs? m Yes m No

Go to www.lovelycitizen.com and weigh in.

To suggest that a transgender person wants Ordinance 2223 to pass so that they can go into a public restroom or locker room for voyeuristic intention or to “molest your daughters” is insulting and hateful and frankly demonstrates that those who say such things are either completely ignorant or willfully bigoted and, as far as I’m concerned, should be liable for slander. Being transgender isn’t a fad, it isn’t something someone has dreamed up. It’s a genuine biological condition that is recognized by every major medical association. Despite assertions to the contrary, being transgendered is a very real condition and one which causes enormous internal anguish and suffering until a person begins on that road to transitioning their body to their actual sex. Even after making that transition, trans people still suffer almost daily at the hands of bigoted people, most often with religious overtones. To the religious leaders who are stirring up fear in our community using this hateful misinformation, I say shame on you. You are causing even more pain for a group of people you don’t like just so you can make political gains. I can’t imagine any action less Christ-like than that. For my part, I have never heard of a transgendered person using a public restroom of their true sex as a way to spy on others or molest someone. However, I can cite multiple examples of preachers who have used their position to molest children or have used public bathrooms to hook-up for sex. Specifically, I ask

equal rights for all people, then why are we slicing off one particular group of people and denying them those rights?” she said in a phone interview. Acra Turner, a local African-American pastor who attended a recent Repeal 2223 meeting and was featured in a campaign video released earlier this week, said he loves everyone and they should be treated equally. He said he believes the law lacks due process. He also said he believes being gay is a behavior. Turner himself has been the subject of controversy after revelations that he served more than 20 years in prison after being convicted of raping three women, including one who was 80 years old. “They believe you can modify behavior,” Martin said. “That goes back to ‘let me fix you and put you through this correction.’ They think this is a lifestyle choice — the behavior [of LGBTs] is bad. You can’t legislate perception. It’s the slippery slope and in giving someone,

whether Christian or whatever, the power to judge people their equal rights but their perceived impression goes against their moral character.” Martin said Keep Eureka Fair is purely a grassroots effort, not supported by outside interest groups like HRC. Repeal 2223 is being spearheaded by the Black Robe Regiment, which has ties to Alliance Defending Freedom. The alliance worked successfully to repeal a similar ordinance in Fayetteville late last year. disagree. Neither Alliance Defending Freedom nor HRC returned comments by press time. Many people on both sides of the issue say the battle in Eureka Springs is not only about religious freedom and LGBT rights, but about the direction in which the city is headed as a tourist destination. Many in the city’s LGBT community say they will no longer be silent when their civil rights are violated. Repeal 2223 supporters, which include state Rep. Bob Ballinger, R-Hindsville, say Christians shouldn’t be mandated by law to take actions that go against their reli-

gious beliefs. “When the great Passion Play was in its heyday, the gay community and culture and arts community were still here and the arts community did not get turned away. That hasn’t changed,” Martin said. “What’s changed is the attendance of the Passion Play. Are you looking for something to blame for the erosion of attendance of Passion Play, or do you really not like LGBTs? “It’s been an eclectic town since the getgo. It turned into a created enclave, then when you build tourist businesses, you attract other businesses and then diversity. It wasn’t an issue unit Arkansas approved the gay marriage thing,” she said. Many national interest groups on both sides have been keeping a close watch on the battle in Eureka Springs. “I think it’s absolute folly to say supporting discrimination is good for tourism,” Wayne Beses, executive director of Truth Wins Out, told the Citizen. “Virtually every top tourist destination in America and the world is pro-gay. It flies in the face of reality to think differently. Name any

place that is divisive that is a tourist town, even in conservative states. Destinations are virtually all open and inclusive. “They can still uphold their religious beliefs but still respect other people. If you want to kill the town, go ahead and make that statement. It’s insulting to Christians that they are so thin-skinned and weak that their faith will be shaken if they are in same vicinity. You can’t catch homosexuality. That’s what they are trying to say. It’s not ignorant, but insulting,” Beses said while referencing the recent expulsion of LGBT members of the Methodist Reconciling Group from the Celebrate Jesus Parade. Martin said she is encouraged by a law similar to Eureka Springs’ that just passed this week in Little Rock. That law requires companies contracting with the city to not discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity. “The heart of this law (Ordinance 2223) is to protect people from being mistreated by others that think their actions are evil,” said Jayme Brandt, a Christian and business owner in Eureka Springs.

sas Arts Center in Little Rock, and the Eureka Springs School of the Arts. She was also chosen for an artist’s residency at the Vermont Studio Center.

‘Tales from the South’ doors go to Washington

Photos by V.L. Cox

Little Rock artist V.L. Cox’s “Tales from the South” doors, which were the backdrop to a recent performance of “Tales from the South End Hate 1,” headlined by local artist Zeek Taylor, were on display last weekend at the Lincoln Memorial. Taylor told the Citizen he was thankful to be part of the show, and to work with the artists. “I am so honored to know these brave women, V.L. Cox and the producer of Tales From the South, Paula Morell,” Taylor told the Citizen. “They have taken a positive and loving voice with this art installation to Washington, D.C., that I think represents the true loving and accepting hearts of Arkansas. These women are my (s)heroes. What an honor for Eureka Springs that these women and this art installation was on view in Eureka Springs one week before going to out nation’s Capitol.”

Carving in the Ozarks

Photos by David Bell

The 11th annual Carving in the Ozarks was held last Friday and Saturday. Carvers from Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana, Mississippi and several other states gathered to show off their skills and sell some sculptures to raise money for Eureka Springs Fire and EMS. Tools of all sizes are used to create these intricate carvings, some ranging up to near-life-size grizzly bears. All the carvers use chainsaws to remove large amounts of wood on their way to these wonderful pieces of art. Finishing may include sanders, wire brushes and fire, plus protective oils or other coatings. Pieces are as small as 20 pounds and range up to 700 or more pounds and require power equipment to move around.

UP project kicks off

Doug Myerscough shows a painting of how the stairs will look when completed.

Steve “Yip” Vorbeck takes the lead on the project. When asked why the project is named UP, Vorbeck said, “Because that’s where the stairs lead.”

Roxie Howard lends a hand with the project. “I’m out here because it’s fun,” she said.

These are the first stairs of the UP Project, which is almost like an oversized paint-by-number project.

Geologist to give talk at Friday’s Arbor and Earth Day celebration Noted geologist James Helwig will give a talk and tour on soil erosion and local historian June Westphal will give a talk on the history of Dairy Spring during Friday’s Arbor and Earth Day celebration. The event begins at 10:30 a.m. Friday at the Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission office. This year’s event will celebrate the restoration on the log building and the re-discovery of nearby Dairy Spring. The Arbor Day proclamation will be read and the 2014 Tree City U.S.A. Awards will be presented. Local historian June Westphal will give a talk on the history of the site as the center of the Summer Interstate Norman and Educational Assembly grounds, the original trolly barns, and the newly re-discovered Dairy Spring. A redbud tree will be planted in honor of Barbara Harmony, longtime advocate of our springs and forests. These activities

commemorate Eureka’s 33rd year as a Tree City U.S.A., making it th oldest Tree City U.S.A. in Arkansas. Arbor Day began in 1872 when J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special day be set aside for planting trees. This holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than a million trees in Nebraska. It is now a holiday observed throughout the nation and world as a day to remember that trees help clean the air, conserve soil and water, moderate temperature and bring nature into our daily lives. It celebrates that trees are a vital component of the infrastructure of our community and provide many environmental and economic benefits. The public is invited to attend the celebration. Light refreshments will be provided by the Eureka Springs Tree City committee.

Drug conviction results in 10-year sentence FORT SMITH — A Mexican citizen living in Eureka Springs was sentenced to 10 years in prison Friday on federal drug charges. Fernando Canales-Mendoza, 52, was convicted of two counts of distribution of methamphetamine, one count of possession with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine, and one count of Canales-Mendoza conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. Mendoza was originally indicated by a federal grand jury in September 2014 and

found guilty in February after a two-day jury trial. U.S. District Judge Robert T. Dawson presided over both the trial and sentencing. Canales-Mendoza’s prison sentence is to be followed by five years of supervised release. “With this sentence, another positive step has been taken to assure that the families, especially children, in Carroll County can live in a community free of illegal drug trafficking and the violence and other crime that comes with it,” U.S. Attorney Conner Eldridge said in a news release. “Our office will continue to aggressively prosecute those responsible for bringing methamphetamine and other drugs into the Western District of Arkansas.” According to evidence presented to the jury, on April 30, 2014, as part of an ongoing investigation, an undercover agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration purchased one ounce of methamphetamine from Canales-Mendoza, in his home in exchange for $1,400, and was provided an additional ounce to be paid for at a later time. On May 7, 2014, the undercover agent paid Canales-Mendoza $1,500 for that ounce, and purchased an additional ounce of methamphetamine for $1,400. On Aug. 27, 2014, the undercover agent met with Canales-Mendoza again, and requested an additional four ounces of methamphetamine. Canales-Mendoza then showed the undercover agent approximately three to three and a half ounces of methamphetamine he did have, which prompted the agent to respond that he would leave in order to get additional funds to purchase the methamphetamine. Once the agent left the meeting, DEA agents executed an arrest warrant on Canales-Mendoza and a search warrant on his place of business, where they confiscated approximately 137 grams of methamphetamine. The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Brandon Carter and Sydney Butler prosecuted the case.

Pastor Wilson what makes him an authority on transgender people? Has he ever worked with a transgender person? Has he even met a transgender person? Did Pastor Wilson go to medical school? Does he have a degree in psychology from an accredited institution? I don’t know Pastor Wilson and, to my knowledge, I haven’t met him. I wouldn’t presume to accuse him of being anything other than a decent human being. All I’m asking is that Pastor Wilson stop accusing people he’s never met and about whom he obviously knows so little, of despicable, heinous activity. I’ll close by quoting my favorite scripture from the Bible: “Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God. The one who doesn’t love, doesn’t know God, for God is love.” — 1 John 4:7-8. JOHN HOUSE, M.D.

Kindness is the answer Now, I know not ALL Christians advocate discrimination; nor do ALL Muslims. However, there are disturbing similarities between the Christians’ holy book, the Bible, and the Muslims’ holy book, the Quran. Here is only one example: (Quran 3:56) -- “As for those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.” (Matthew 13:42) — They (the Son of Man’s angels) will throw them (the unrighteous) into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

In other words, both say that if one does not believe their particular religion, one gets thrown into a Muslim or Christian Hell. This is only one example of what both religions sanction: “We’re right and you’re wrong and if you do not believe as we say you must, Hell fire and Damnation upon you!” I think institutional, organized religions have caused so much suffering in the world. “This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.” The Dalai Lama. There is no kindness when Isis murders Christians. There is no kindness when American Christian evangelist Scott Lively goes to Uganda to encourage their passing of the bill that demands death for homosexuals. He preached that here was a threat from homosexuals and that they were there to recruit their children. It may seem extreme to you, dear reader, to talk about murder and religious wars. However, fundamentalist Christians’ objections to Ordinance 2223 may be just the first step to more religious hatred and oppression towards those who are going to Hell (they say). The Founding Fathers (with all their contradictions) wisely insisted on the separation of church and state. No religion should interfere with any citizen’s right to life and happiness. Even Christian fundamentalists have the right to their beliefs but they should not demand that their beliefs be part of our government and laws. Kindness. That’s what we all need; not a dictatorship of any religion. T.A. LAUGHLIN

The Natural Way How to choose a multivitamin

o you need a multivitamin? Some say absolutely while others say no you don’t but Jim Fain I say it depends. A multivitamin should be considered nutritional insurance as the typical amount of any of the long list of ingredients is based upon the official recommended dietary allowance. How do you sort out if you need one and then how to select the right one for you? Do you eat a broad range of foods each week? Is the food fresh with as little processing as possible? Is the produce picked and eaten at peak? Do you take prescribed medicines that can and do decrease absorption of certain nutrients/minerals? Does your alcohol intake reduce your vitamin levels particularly the B group? Is your digestion working favorably? These are some of the questions to ask yourself. The majority of Americans are considered in a deficit situation by many experts and companies. Think of the high-stress, fast-paced life with little time to shop and prepare home-cooked meals, especially with city people in mind. Of course, some people — both men and women — don’t cook at all. You can easily understand the appeal of a general purpose multivitamin taken daily. The multivitamin choice is dependent upon your age, overall health and personal preferences. Generally, people over 50 years benefit from a quality multivitamin that includes minerals and trace elements and no iron. Younger people will often require low or moderate iron along with choice of specialty ingredients for pre-natal/natal vitamins. There are others that are derived from whole food, tasty liquids, formulas for middle-aged and older men and women while children like to eat yummy chewables. As always, price gives an idea of the product quality. I think a middle of the road price point is the best. The way the manufacturers position their product lines paying a very high price isn’t necessarily better but paying little actually gives you less with cheaper and lower quality ingredients as part of the formula. So, do you need a multivitamin? For most of the people I know that answer isn’t a clear yes or no as they shop fresh at the farmer’s market and prepare at least one home-cooked meal each day and they take few if any prescribed drugs. Look closely at your circumstances and decide for yourself if a little bit spent on nutritional insurance is for you.

Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: Your mojo is like the Loch Ness Monster. It hasn’t been seen in a while, and most people think it’s fake. Rise from the deep and show the world what you’ve got; but first, make sure your friends have HD video cameras and a steady Internet connection. TAURUS: Do you have some fries with that shake? How about a burger? Seriously, you need some sizzle. Milkshakes don’t bring boys and girls to the yard, but a great cookout always does the trick. GEMINI: This is no time for comfortable shoes. You need some ass-kickin’ boots, preferably thighhigh with stiletto heels and good tread so you don’t slip while delivering your message. Suit up for Thursday. CANCER: Tomorrow is a new day, so don’t mess it up before you even get the chance to take off the price tags. Try to keep it clean for at least a few hours before you stretch it out of shape and lose a button. LEO: Love makes the world go round but sarcasm makes the trip worthwhile. Get the most out of your global journey with that sharp wit, and you can spin any situation your way. VIRGO: Every rose has its thorn, but when you’re tired of all the pricks, grab a bouquet of carnations. They’re not flashy, but they come with far less drama. Plus, they look great in your buttonhole. LIBRA: Behind every great person is someone stuck doing the housework and shopping. Step out of the shadows and do your own great things; your honey will eventually step in when there’s no more clean underwear. SCORPIO: Every journey begins with that first step, but putting wheels on your recliner and rolling your lazy butt to the curb doesn’t cut it. Stand up and be counted. Who knows? That line could be for

a free lunch. SAGITTARIUS: Tuesday will be smooth sailing, but Wednesday is choppy because of some loon with a jet ski. Next time he zooms too close, swing that sail out and clothesline him. The rest of your week will be a delightful excursion. CAPRICORN: You know what you want, you’re just not sure how to get it.

ting tricks too. Aquarius: You’re aimed at success, so don’t worry if you trip and land on it butt-first. At least you’ll leave a mighty impression. Okay, two impressions, one for each cheek. PISCES: Life would be easier if you’d quit squeezing into tight spots. You’re not a jack-in-thebox or a genie, so give yourself enough room to breathe, or at least some space to air out your feet.
