Not wasting time

ES elementary students learn about recycling By Samantha Jones

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

“Do you guys know what recycling is?” Bryan Launius asks a busload of Eureka Springs preschool students. Even though it’s early Thursday morning, the students excitedly yell out in agreement. One small voice rises above the others, saying, “Yes, to re-use!” Launius, who works with the Carroll County Solid Waste Authority, has just shown the students a video on recycling in CCSWA’s educational van outside the Eureka Springs Elementary School. “Exactly,” he says. “It’s taking the stuff you’d normally throw away and recycling it so it can turn into new things.” He holds up a used water bottle. The bottle, he tells the students, is not trash. “It can be thrown away, but it can be recycled, too,” Launius says. How the water bottle can be recycled, he continues, is a bit surprising. He says it can be turned into T-shirts and fleece attire, and the students gasp. Launius has their full attention. As their eyes follow the water bottle in the air, Launius describes how it can be turned into clothing. “What they do is they chip it up into little bitty pieces and clean it up really well and melt it down…and they stretch it really thin and weave it into this,” Launius says. “Some of you are actually wearing recycled plastic bottles right now.” Realizing that first-grade students are waiting outside to take their turn in the van, Launius wraps his speech up. Being aware of recycling, he tells the students, is very important. Preschool teacher Kim Edmonson and assistant Megan Donahoe usher the students outside, and Launius gives each student a CCSWA backpack, cup and pencil. Donahoe and Edmonson lead the students, backpacks bopping up and down, back into the classroom. The students sit down on the rug and begin inspecting their recycling swag. JT Reddick looks at the pencil, saying he enjoyed his experience in the van.

Recycling, Reddick says, means “to reuse and make it into different things.” Dorothy Hamlin, who sits next to him, agrees. “I think that if you throw something away, that’s wasting. You can recycle things,” Hamlin says. Donahoe asks the students if they would like to play outside. They do. She tells them to go to the bathroom and wash up, saying they should sit at their table and wait for further instructions when they’re done. As the students are washing their hands in the bathroom, Donahoe and Edmondson talk about the recycling lesson. “With Bryan showing them that plastic bottles can get turned into this sweater, I think it helps them really realize what it’s turning into. Seeing that it turns into a shirt or it turns into a carpet … I think that helps them,” Donahoe says. Edmondson agrees. For small children, she says it can be difficult to visualize what a word means without actually seeing a demonstration of it. “I think with them actually being able to see it and have a hands-on experience, it makes more sense to them. At this age, everything has to be a handson, tangible thing,” Edmondson says. While some of her students know about recycling, Edmondson says many do not. Today’s recycling lesson, she notes, could help some students take new ideas home with them. “Hopefully, they’ll go home and tell their parents now, ‘Hey, Mom, we need to recycle this’ and ‘Hey, Mom, we need to recycle that,’” Edmondson says. Learning about recycling early in life, she continues, will be valuable for the students as they get older. Edmondson explains that education constantly builds on itself. If the students don’t learn about recycling now, she says they might never fully understand how important it is. “Anything we can expose them to at this age builds up. If we don’t do it now, there’s a lag when they get older,” Ed-

mondson says. The environment, she notes, desperately needs young people to know how to protect it. “We losing our environment. Our environment has so much trash built in it

now. If we don’t teach these kids about recycling, there may not be anything left,” Edmondson says. “There may not be any place for them to play,” she continues. “It may all be landfills. They are the future generation.”

Mayor Butch Berry has declared a freeze on certain city spending. Berry issued a memorandum on Monday, April 18 placing a freeze on “all non-operations essential expenditures.” The memo lists some of the expenditures affected by the freeze, including: new hires, as well as replacement hiring; pay rate increases; travel, conference, training, education, tuition and professional dues and fees; professional services; uniform purchasing; and maintenance on both buildings and equipment. Maintenance items related to the immediate and essential operation of the city, the memo notes, will be considered on a case-by-case basis by Berry and department heads. Berry addressed the freeze at Monday night’s city council meeting, saying he isn’t sure when it will be lifted. “I don’t know when that’s going to be, until our revenue starts catching up with

our expenditures,” Berry said. The reason behind the freeze, he explained, is to address the city’s budget problems. Berry said these problems have been mounting over the past 10 to 15 years. “I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we didn’t get here overnight and we’re not going to get out of it overnight,” Berry said. Berry continued, saying the city will keep paying for essential services such as ambulances, fire, water and sewer. He said he hopes the city’s revenues will eventually increase so funds can be placed in reserves to improve these services. One major improvement, Berry noted, is a proposed water-testing facility. Berry said the city has been spending $1,500 to $2,000 a month for water testing. It will cost around $40,000 to build a water-testing facility, but Berry said this would benefit the city in the long run. If the city can save up enough money in re-

serves, he said more grant opportunities will be available. “I think we’re in a position where the state will help us and help pay for this, but we can’t even meet the grant matching. It’s like going to a two-for-one sale. I can’t afford to buy the two to get one free,” Berry said. “We’ve got to do something,” he added. “Otherwise, we’re going to have to look at increasing our water and sewer rates and I don’t think that’s a fair thing to do.” Berry thanked the council for supporting the freeze. “I appreciate the city council working with me and understanding,” Berry said. Alderman David Mitchell said the freeze makes sense. “That’s strong, sound city administrator actions, and you should be applauded for it,” Mitchell said. “We’re all trying to live within our means,” Berry responded, “and that’s where we are.”

Planning commission denies permit request By Samantha Jones

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Eureka Springs Planning Commission voted against granting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a one-unit bed and breakfast on Tuesday night. The commission held a public hearing on the issue before discussing it, where many residents spoke for and against issuing the CUP. Laura Lee Wilcox and Betsy Rodier spoke against the request. Wilcox said the proposed lodging would create parking issues on an already crowded street, adding that the proposal could negatively affect the property value for nearby property owners. “I know I speak for many others in asking you to please help us maintain our nice residential neighborhoods and keep our safety and concerns in mind,” Wilcox

said. Rodier agreed, saying B&B requirements aren’t followed closely by many business owners in town. Rodier pointed out how the proposed lodging is for one unit, which she said is untraditional. “It’s basically a stand-alone cottage,” Rodier said. “You need to ask, ‘Is there really a need for more B&Bs in town?’ period.” Mark Mattmiller spoke in favor of the application. He noted that the applicant, Jaclyn Cross, has lived in Eureka Springs all her life. “She went to Eureka Springs High School and has worked in tourism-related business most of her life. She is a young entrepreneur who can offer a different type of lodging experience that appeals to younger tourists,” Mattmiller said. He suggested that those against the

proposal are against the community’s growth. “They don’t want their neighborhood jeopardized,” Mattmiller said. Evelyn Cross, too, expressed support for the proposal. She pointed out that tourism is the city’s biggest industry, saying the planning commission should recognize that and allow it to grow. A realtor herself, Evelyn Cross said this CUP relates to the way many homes are sold in Eureka Springs. “One of the number one requests we get from buyers is, ‘Is it a possibility I can have supplemental income if I buy this property?’ If we just cut off that possibility, then we’re going to see more and more properties not sell,” Evelyn Cross said. Jaclyn Cross addressed the concerns See Planning, page 22

Berry addresses proposed 2 percent sales tax By Samantha Jones

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Mayor Butch Berry responded to several concerns about his proposed 2 percent retail sales tax Monday night. Berry proposed the idea at the Eureka Springs City Council’s April 11 meeting. He said the proposed tax could potentially generate $1.2 million in annual revenue, with $200,000 allocated to The Auditorium and the remaining $1 million going to water and sewer improvements. On Monday, Berry said he’s spoken with city officials and found the proposed tax to be legal. The city doesn’t have a maximum amount required to tax, he noted. “There is no cap, so we’re in good shape to do the 2 percent sales tax. The second question was can we put it out on retail,” Berry said. He explained that he spoke with the Arkansas Municipal League and was told the tax on retail should be legal. “There’s still more research I’m doing, but so far it’s looking positive,” Berry said. Alderman Joyce Zeller asked how the tax would work. “Are you saying the Municipal League seems to think that cities of the first class have a mandate to put their own sales tax … and collect that tax entirely independent of the state?” Zeller said. “We have the ability to do that, yes,” Berry said. “Are you still suggesting we’re going to exempt certain items or only tax certain items?” Zeller continued. “The last discussions we had the last time was we wouldn’t tax everything…we wouldn’t tax all that, but only things tourists buy.”

Berry responded, saying the tax wouldn’t include items such as food and lodging. “Joyce, we’re kind of getting into details. When we get ready to do an ordinance and get further along, we can get into those items,” Berry said. Alderman Terry McClung brought up another concern, questioning whether the proposed tax could raise $1.2 million in a year. “Were you able to research those numbers any better?” McClung said. Berry explained that city finance director Lonnie Clark has run the numbers again, saying he still believes the proposed tax will generate $1.2 million per year. Alderman David Mitchell pointed out how much money will be allocated to run The Auditorium, asking how those funds will be determined. Berry said funding for The Auditorium will be set at a fixed rate, and Mitchell disagreed with that idea. “If it’s a fixed amount … that doesn’t tell me where it’s at,” Mitchell said. He suggested a percentage of the revenue be dedicated to The Auditorium instead. “It may be. It may be what we do is we come up and take a percentage,” Berry said. McClung agreed with this, saying he’d like to see $300,000 allocated to The Auditorium if the tax raises $1.2 million. “If it would generate that much money, I think we’d be more generous toward The Auditorium. That’s why I think it needs to be a percentage,” McClung said. “Personally, I don’t think it’ll generate that much. I think you need to think that through a little more.” Allocating $200,000 to The Auditorium, Berry explained, would help cover

‘Cry of the Peacock’ slated for April 29 and 30 The Eureka Springs High School drama department will perform “Cry of the Peacock” at 7 p.m. Friday, April 29, and Saturday, April 30. On Saturday night at 6 p.m., the Eureka Springs sophomore class will host a barbecue chicken din-

the costs of running the building and allow some funds to be placed in reserves. If the proposed tax takes effect, Mitchell asked how it would affect the City Advertising and Promotion Commission (CAPC). Mitchell said CAPC has been spending around $110,000 on the building, wondering what the commission’s contribution would be under the proposed tax. “The bulk of it would go away. There would still be a contributing portion,” Berry said. Alderman James DeVito suggested establishing a five-year sunset clause on the proposed tax, and Berry said he hoped for a 10-year sunset clause. “It definitely would have a sunset clause. Five years would barely get us … it took us 10, 15 years to get us where we are,” Berry said. DeVito suggested creating a 10-year plan to coincide with the sunset clause,

and Berry agreed. Zeller said she doesn’t think the proposed tax would pass the way it’s being described. “I don’t think anybody’s going to vote for it. We all agree the infrastructure needs repairing. If you’re telling them we’re also using a sales tax, which will be on their utilities and phone bill and everything else they buy … I don’t think it’s going to pass,” Zeller said. McClung disagreed, saying the proposed tax wouldn’t apply to utilities or phone bills. He pointed out that the proposed tax is still in the planning phase. “I’m not saying yay or nay, whether I support it or not support it, but I think it’s important,” McClung said. Mitchell agreed. “You’ve outlined a very nice plan,” he told Berry. “No one in TV land should think anything said at this table is carved in stone, because it’s theoretically discussion at this point on a topic.”

Council approves purchase of storm sirens By Samantha Jones

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Eureka Springs City Council voted Monday night to approve a resolution purchasing an early storm warning system. The resolution states that Eureka Springs will receive a $41,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to purchase and install the system, with the city providing $14,350 in matching funds. Mayor Butch Berry explained that the city hasn’t had storm sirens since the 1960s, saying the city doesn’t have any way to notify residents of storms. “I got concerned last winter when we had some storms going through. I asked the USDA of any possible grants and they did find one,” Berry said. Alderman Joyce Zeller pointed out how Berry recently declared a freeze on extraneous spending. Zeller asked Berry if it would be prudent for the city to spend $14,350 on a storm siren system, considering the city’s financial situation. “We just declared a freeze on spending because we’re totally out of money. At least we can put this off until we have an extra $14,350 laying around,” Zeller said. She added that the city already has ways to alert residents of an oncoming storm. “We have all kinds of ways to get warnings for this. We have radio. We have television,” Zeller said. “It’s a luxury thing.” She continued, asking if the system would be vulnerable to hackers. “I’m not sure how this thing gets triggered or whether it can be hacked so someone to amuse themselves can keep setting it off,” Zeller said. Aldermen Terry McClung and David Mitchell supported purchasing the system. McClung agreed that the system will cost quite a bit of money but said it is necessary for the safety of Eureka Springs residents. “When you have something like this right in front of you, it’s almost impossible to say no because once the cat’s out

of the bag if you say no and something happens then there’s hell to pay for the city council,” McClung said. “We’re kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place.” Mitchell noted that it’s the council’s responsibility to ensure safety for those who live in the city. “When it’s safety, it’s our responsibility to take care of that obligation. Our obligation is to protect the citizens to the highest level possible,” Mitchell said. “This has now come to the table,” he continued. “It has now made council aware of an opportunity and to pass up the opportunity for $14,000 when you have found a way that it will be paid for … it’s not coming out of reserves. It’s not going to put us into debt. I’m not one to play risk with people at all.” Berry acknowledged that the system will cost the city money in a time when money is tight. He recalled applying for the grant, saying he didn’t know then that the city would be in this situation. “When you write the grants, you don’t know. I couldn’t see into the future and forecast the financial difficulty we’d be in,” Berry said. “I wish I would have known a month or two months ago we’d be in this position … and I would have said, ‘Let’s hold off on getting a grant.’ ” Also at the meeting, the council approved an ordinance to purchase self-contained breathing apparatus on second and third readings. McClung noted that the city already set aside $80,000 to purchase 10 air packs, saying a small grant will take care of eight air packs. Fire chief Randy Ates addressed how much the city will need to kick in to match the grant. The city, Ates said, will need to pay around $16,000 in matching funds for eight air packs. Ates said it will cost $16,000 to purchase two more air packs, noting that the fire department has received a $5,000 donation to do so. The council agreed to spend $27,000 to match the grant and purchase two additional air packs. Planning commission chairman Steve Beacham addressed the council, request-

ing that the council adopt a hazard mitigation plan. He explained the need for the plan, which identifies natural hazards, assesses local priorities and targets specific infrastructure components for strengthening. One of these components, he said, is Black Bass Dam. “The outer shell of it is collapsing. We have no idea what the internal structure is like. It’s actually a dam within a dam,” Beacham said. The sewer system, he added, also needs to be repaired. Mitchell asked if the plan would require the city to spend any money, and Beacham said it wouldn’t. The council agreed to draft a resolution following the guidelines of the planning commission’s resolution, which calls for a public hearing and the creation of various boards and commissions over the next two years. Beacham also asked the council to approve a resolution supporting the formation of an improvement district in Eureka Springs. The proposed improvement district, Beacham explained, would be a partnership between public and private individuals. McClung noted that the proposal for the district doesn’t define how the partnership will work. “It doesn’t define in here that the city is actually a partner in this,” McClung said. Mitchell suggested tabling the resolution until more information is available on the issue, and the council agreed to do so. Beacham continued, asking the council to approve a resolution establishing a 90-day moratorium on licenses for tour homes in residential areas. Beacham said a homeowner has been hosting a tour without a license and upsetting neighbors. “We have been as a commission looking at some vagueness of city code. What we’d like is just for council to pass this moratorium for a 90-day period which gives planning time to complete all these definitions,” Beacham said. Alderman James DeVito pointed out

that the person who hosted the tour without a license has stopped. “They no longer use the home, so it’s a moot point if that’s the home we’re talking about. My question is since this is now a moot point is there really a necessity for a moratorium? Do we have five pending applications, or do you anticipate a land rush for people to turn homes into tour homes?” DeVito said. “As far as I know, there are no current applications,” Beacham said. The council agreed with DeVito, voting against the proposed moratorium. Moving on, the council tabled discussion on a conditional use permit for a one-unit bed and breakfast at 23 Elk St. Kathy Martone appealed the planning commission’s decision to deny the request. Though the council didn’t discuss the issue on Monday, several Elk Street residents and close neighbors spoke against the appeal. Susan Porter said she believes the permit is unfair. “I think if you are going to grant something like this, it should be for the greater good of the community or the neighborhood, not for somebody’s individual project,” Porter said. Linda McBride agreed. “I’m very concerned about the way rezoning and things are going with bed and breakfasts. It bothers me that they’re chipping away at our neighborhoods,” McBride said. Berry presented the financial report for March, saying the city’s cash flow isn’t what he expected it to be. “Revenue did not come in as fast as our expenditures go out,” Berry said. The council voted to approve Susan Harman’s application for the planning commission, and Berry noted that the cemetery commission has a vacant position. “If anyone would like to come in and apply and do some service work, we’d like your help,” Berry said. The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, May 9 at City Hall.

Sunday, April 17, Chelsea’s Corner hosted a live auction raffle fundraiser called Friends with Benefits. The dozen smoker trailers arrived before 9 a.m. with a whole new outlook: their new event location in the parking lot below Chelsea’s. A cool day with a good mix of new and old, this was not a sappy event, no. People

showed up early, stayed later and mixed old friendships with new concoctions. IN an era where everyone has their weaknesses, Friends with Benefits event showed our community strengths by raising money, awareness and pints for a great cause: helping a friend. The winning combination of one great team now united with another. - Reillot

From The Editor

Boycott hate mongering hen it comes to the transgender movement, it seems nothing has been contested more than where people are supposed

to pee. The controversy over which bathroom a transgender person is supposed to use has persisted over the past few years, culminating last year with proposed anti-discrimination ordinances throughout the country. As many of you know, Eureka Springs was at the helm of this controversy during the passage of Ordinance 2223. That ordinance grants protection to members of the LGBT community in the workplace and public areas like bathrooms. Last year when the ordinance was heavily debated, those against it insisted that predators will use it as an excuse to go into the women’s restroom and prey on young girls. Ordinance 2223 passed and granted Eureka Springs residents several glorious months without having to hear that our children are in danger because a transgender person can now use whichever bathroom he or she corresponds to. In the meantime, North Carolina has gotten in on perpetuating this ridiculous argument. State legislators in North Carolina recently signed a bill into law that will require a transgender person to use the bathroom corresponding to his or her genitalia at birth. Many have spoken against the bill, and many have spoken in support of it. The people who support it continue to insist that the bill is necessary to protect young children who use public bathrooms. Last week, the retail chain Target revealed its bathroom policy. A spokesperson for the company said store policy allows any person to use the bathroom he or she feels most comfortable with. People who believe in legislation such as North Carolina’s bathroom bill immediately became defensive, creating the trending hashtag #BoycottTarget. I’ve seen many of my acquaintances complain about Target’s policy on social media, saying it puts

young girls in danger. These people insist they have nothing against transgender people but rather want to be sure to protect children from child molesters who might use Target’s open-door policy to find prey. These people act as if it’s not already against the law to kidnap, molest or otherwise maim children. I won’t deny that predators exist. I’d even venture to say some predators do go into the Samantha Jones bathroom of the opposite sex to find someone to attack. But that’s not anything new. It’s been happening probably as long as public restrooms have existed. Predators will always find a way to hurt someone if they want to, because they are predators. It doesn’t matter if they’re barred from entering a restroom where potential prey resides. If you’re already planning to do something that’s against the law, I can’t see how any law could prevent you from doing so. I’ve got some well-meaning friends who say they aren’t trying to discriminate against the transgender community. I believe they believe that, but I don’t think it’s true. This whole idea that giving a transgender person rights can somehow hurt the innocent is clearly just a way for people to mask discomfort toward an issue they don’t understand. To remedy the issue, some have suggested creating a separate bathroom for transgender people. Others have said it makes more sense to establish a one-stall family restroom — which already exists at Target — so mothers and fathers can feel safe when they go to public restrooms with their children. Neither of these proposals is a solution to this

Mundi Hot Sauce takes top prize at expo By Samantha Jones

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Less than a year after creating their own hot sauce company, Burt Hamilton and Carly James of Eureka Springs won big at the Louisiana Hot Sauce Expo. Hamilton explained that their hot sauce, called Mundi Sauce, won first place at the expo’s World Hot Sauce competition last weekend. The win, Hamilton said, came as a surprise. “I really only went to the expo to learn about the business, because we’re new at it. I didn’t think we had a chance to win,” Hamilton said. He noted that Mundi Sauce competed against 60 other hot sauces from around the world, with companies from Australia and Great Britain snagging second and third place. “They said, ‘Third place, Great Britain’ and then they said, ‘Second place, Australia’ and then ‘First place, Eureka Springs, Ark.’ It blew my mind,” Hamilton said. The category Mundi Sauce won, he

noted, was called “Indian Style.” Hamilton said he and James entered their butternut squash habanero curry sauce, one of four varieties of Mundi Sauce. He recalled how the company started out, saying he created the sauce while working at Mundi Cafe last summer. “We started making hot sauce there for different things we were making. We had a lot of spicy foods out there,” Hamilton said. Mundi Sauce soon became certified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Today, Hamilton said he creates the sauce at the University of Arkansas. As far as he knows, Mundi Sauce is the only FDA-certified hot sauce in Eureka Springs. “There might be somebody else making an FDA product from Eureka. I’m not sure. I’ve never seen it,” Hamilton said. Representing Eureka Springs, he continued, is key for Mundi Sauce. He described how a backstory on the city is See Mundi, page 22

The Natural Way

Magnesium is your friend

n our nutty system that often pits medications and science against nutritional supplements, the bias supporting medicine is usually givJim Fain en top dog status. Dire warnings abound that if you do this drug or that, then these supplements will interfere and cause harm. Rarely is there a balanced approach. Suppose the prescription medication bias with huge amounts of corporate money backing it is entirely backward? Suppose the prescription drug is actually interfering with the absorption of the nutritional supplement. Suppose it is well-established that prescribed drugs often and commonly create new ailments by causing vitamin and mineral deficits. What would you do? Think about this, as this is more often the case than we can imagine. Consider the mineral magnesium. This all-natural gift is used in thousands of body processes each and every day. We simply have to have enough in our systems to avoid short-term or long-term illnesses due to deficit. Did you know prescribed diuretics, blood pressure medications and statin drugs interfere with the benefits of magnesium? Other drugs do, too. Did you know, in fact, magnesium can lower blood pressure along with reducing cholesterol, as well as helping reduce atrial fibrillation, migraines, reducing calcium overload, helping muscle function, relaxing the body, improve breathing for asthma, reducing constipation? The list is very long. Of course, if you take prescribed drugs and have symptoms, you’ll likely be prescribed more prescribed drugs. This sets up a vicious cycle, doesn’t it? Blood testing can be done to measure magnesium levels but are likely imprecise at best in terms of measuring your need. You see, a blood test just shows how much is in your blood but not in the tissues where it is needed. Additionally, it is thought that drugs processed through the liver may elevate amounts of magnesium in the blood as the body dumps stores in order to detox from the very effects of the drug. What to do? First, emphasize eating anything green like chard and kale, adding nuts and beans to the recipe. If you’re using prescribed drugs, I’d add 300 to 450 magnesium each day. Remember, magnesium is required for a long list of body processes, yet we don’t get enough in our diet. Making this worse is that prescribed drugs like heart medicines and others decrease absorption of this very needed mineral. I like See Fain, page 22

Wisecrack Zodiac Aries: If you can see clearly now, it’s not because the rain has gone. It’s because you found your glasses in the litter box. Grab some Windex and scrub them down; after that, your day will no longer look like crap. Taurus: You’re firmly entrenched in your comfort zone, but try sticking a toe outside. Make it your least favorite toe, so if some ravenous Bugblatter Beast eats it, you still have nine others that you like. Gemini: That mojo is running so high, if sparkly vampires and buff werewolves pass by, they’re all Team You. Whether you use that power for good or bad, you’re still going to have fans. Cancer: You’ve seen fire and you’ve seen rain, but after that jumbo spicy burrito dinner, you’ll see both at the same time. Don’t stray too far from home on Wednesday night. Leo: A new adventure beckons but you’re out of your element. That’s OK, there’s no room for Grumpium on the periodic table anyway. This time, embrace the element of surprise. Virgo: Friday is smooth sailing ahead, which would be great if you had a boat. Keep paddling that shark-bitten surfboard and chat up some friendly dolphins to give you a push. Libra: Don’t panic; this week is lovely, friendly and filled with good fortune. It’s not a setup, just a rare universal occurrence. Set your sights on the moon and enjoy your personal eclipse. Scorpio: Everyone has opinions, but no one does them like you. Set down the megaphone and climb off the billboard. Some things are just too controversial, and people have to decide for themselves if they like New York style or Chicago style pizza. Sagittarius: Spring has sprung, but like General Ackbar, you’re convinced it’s a trap. Relax, no one’s going to make you wear a

bikini top and short shorts this early in the season. You need to shave your back first. Capricorn: You feel like Columbus yelling “Land ho!” but maybe the ho doesn’t want to be landed on. Respect the ho and ask first, otherwise you’ll end up with a size 13 shoe upside your head. Aquarius: Tuesday may not be perfect, but there are a lot of perfect moments in it. Relish the chocolate and peanut butter ones, but feel free

to spit out the orange cream ones. Those are just mushy and weird. Pisces: You have your groove back, but who knows how long it will last? Don’t ask questions, just dance with the beat for as long as you can. Great funk is eternal: When the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor. Answers on page 17

This might help it create something new and get into different things,” Hamilton said. So far, he said locals have been receptive to the product. “It’s been good.

WHAT’S GOING ON OUT THERE? Imagine with me for a moment. What if there was a place, a place that everyone didn’t have to dress the same to be equal. What if there was a place where you could worship with others, but leave whenever you wanted to without feeling self-conscious? Wouldn’t it be nice if strangers hugged? Imagine a large group of people holding hands in a circle, and you having the opportunity to speak if you wanted to. What if there was a single room full of love, and you were there? Can you imagine feeling the presence of God? Wouldn’t it be nice to hear a variety of speakers instead of the same old same old? As long as we are imagining, let’s imagine sitting down to a meal together. How many churches here in Eureka Springs, large or small, send their own congregation to foreign countries to share the word of God? Haiti, Mexico, Chile, and on May 4th Ecuador will receive 10 of our congregation.

of those who spoke against the CUP. The parking situation, Cross said, isn’t as dire as her neighbors said it is. She said there are three parking spots on the property, including parking inside the garage. After the public hearing, commissioner Melissa Greene asked Cross back into the room to discuss the proposal. Greene noted that the property is separated by a city street, saying she wasn’t sure if it could be considered one property. “There are two lots but it’s on one. There’s only one mailbox,” Cross said. Green explained that one property can include two lots. According to the law, Greene said the proposal should be legal. “It can be the same property with the city street going through it as long as it has one address and it is one property. It can be different parcels. Parcels can be sold together,” Greene said. Greene read the legal description of a B&B. “A bed and breakfast is a dwelling or area containing one or more structures, at least one of which is occupied by the owner or manager on-site … it should be defined as adjoining, sharing a boundary and should not include properties separated by a city street,” Greene said.

If Cross were to rent the property, he said, that would cause more traffic problems than her CUP request. “If it were rented as a room across the street, traffic would be great so making it a B&B … people are going to be in basically a few days a week,” Morris said. Morris continued, addressing concerns that city commissions are anti-business. Recent decisions to deny similar CUP requests, he said, have caused some to question whether the city wants to attract new businesses. “The town is not anti-business. I happen to live next door to a bed and breakfast. I find it a pleasure sometimes. I also find it a problem sometimes,” Morris said. Greene agreed and said she supports B&Bs. “I’ve been a proponent of B&Bs, not that I want to saturate neighborhoods,” Greene said. She moved to approve the CUP request on the condition that the property is proved to have one address, but the commission voted it down. Morris said he voted against it because of the street separating the property. Greene told Cross she could appeal the decision to the Eureka Springs City Council, and Cross agreed to do so. The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 10 at City Hall. Be aware your blood pressure may drop so keep a log of home measurements.
