‘It’s all for the doggies and kitties’

Good Shepherd revamping Doggie Thrift Store in Berryville

By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Good Shepherd Humane Society is working on another set of renovations to its facilities. This time, the Doggie Thrift Store in Berryville is getting a makeover.

Thrift store manager Janet Chupp explained that the renovations will affect every part of the store. So far, Chupp said the bars have been removed from the windows and doors of the store. She said people have already noticed this change.

“It doesn’t look like a pawn shop anymore. We’ve actually had people come in and ask if we’re still open,” Chupp said. “Of course we’re still open.”

Other renovations she’s planning, Chupp said, include repainting the outside of the store and moving the dumpster where you can’t see it when walking into the building.

Even though the outside of the store will be repainted, Chupp said, the dog and cat mural will stay where it is.

“We’ll leave our cat and dog there but highlight around them and make it look just a little more sophisticated,” Chupp said.

Chupp added that she also hopes to change up the kitchen and glassware section, as well as stain the floor.

“But everything takes money and time,” she said.

Chupp said she decided to work on renovating the Berryville store after realizing that the Eureka Springs store generates the most revenue for the shelter even though it’s three times smaller than the building in Berryville. She pointed out that all revenue from the thrift stores and fundraisers go toward the shelter to provide the best food and shelter possible for the animals.

“Something’s wrong with that. If we can do for square feet over here what we’re doing over there, we can generate a whole lot more revenue for the shelter needs,” Chupp said.

“If we can improve your shopping experience here, it will improve the bottom line and create more revenue for the shelter, which is what we’re here for.”

The biggest change to the store, she continued, is the new Christmas room. Chupp recalled Good Shepherd’s recent Holiday

Extravaganza fundraiser, saying that event was highly successful. After a business selling Christmas items in Eureka Springs closed, Chupp said, she felt it would make sense to create a Christmas room in the Berryville thrift store.

“We have people coming in looking for Christmas stuff all year long. I thought, ‘We have this space and this venue, so why not?’ ” Chupp said.

During the Holiday Extravaganza, she said, the thrift stores sold 98 percent of their Christmas items. She explained that one of her neighbors stepped up and offered a large amount of Christmas items to the store. She’s excited about the Christmas store, Chupp said, because it will help generate more revenue for Good Shepherd’s animal shelter.

“That’s what we need to do … we need to find out what people want and need and fulfill that, so we’re trying really hard,” she said.

Serina Aguilera, a member of Good Shep-

herd’s board and a volunteer at the thrift stores, said she’s enjoyed working on the new Christmas store. Christmas is her favorite time of the year, Aguilera said.

“It makes me happy. I love Christmas. I really, really do, so taking care of the room is something I look forward to,” Aguilera said.

“Christmas changes people. Every year, I notice that a lot of people are different than they are the rest of the year on Christmas.”

It’s volunteers like Aguilera, Chupp said, that keep Good Shepherd going. Chupp thanked all Good Shepherd’s volunteers for their help, saying she appreciates everything they do for the animals.

“Volunteers continually help. They are so generous with their time and effort and energy,” Chupp said. “There’s a million things they could be doing every day, and they choose to be here. They choose to help us and they choose to help the animals.”

She continued, “It’s a really humbling ex-

perience to see so many people help out. We wouldn’t be here … we wouldn’t be able to run this organization at all without the volunteers.”

Aguilera remembered when she started volunteering at the thrift stores, saying she felt compelled to help out when a thrift store employee asked her if she was interested in it. After her dog died six months ago, Aguilera said, she became much more serious about volunteering.

“I think that’s why I put myself more and more into helping is because I know how it feels to love your animal so much,” Aguilera said. “I want to help do more so every animal has a chance to be loved.”

The Berryville Doggie Thrift Store is located at 207 Eureka Ave., and the Eureka Springs Doggie Thrift Store is located at 124 W. Van Buren. For more information, call the Berryville store at 870-423-2870 or the Eureka Springs store at 479-253-9115.

On an early morning in May 2014, Zeek Taylor went to the Carroll County Courthouse with his longtime partner Dick Titus to do something many couples do every day.

They were going to get married.

The Arkansas Zeek Taylor ban on samesex marriage had just been declared unconstitutional, giving the couple a chance to have the legal rights they long desired.

It wasn’t an easy road. The police were called, and at one point, Taylor thought he wasn’t going to get married after all.

“We had a bit of difficulty, but we got on through and were married,” Taylor said. “Love wins in the end.”

The story of his wedding in downtown Eureka Springs is the last story in his new book, “Out of the Delta.” Taylor has been a professional artist for years, but he said this is the first time he’s ever seriously dabbled in writing. The idea for his book, Taylor said, came from Throwback Thursday stories he wrote on Facebook.

“Each time I would write one, I would get such a response that the audience grew. I decided since I got so many requests, I would write a book,” Taylor said. “I never set out with writing a book in mind. I think I would have felt overwhelmed if that had been my original goal.”

He had more than 150 stories to compile in the book, Taylor said. He recalled how it felt to organize these stories, saying he decided to put them in the book in

chronological order. Some of the stories were expanded or combined, he said.

“They weren’t that way on Facebook.

They were mix and match, from being a 4-year-old to being an adult,” he said.

“That’s how it began, and I read and reread. Dick read and re-read. We both edited them over and over.”

The reason he expanded some of the stories, Taylor said, is to fit the format of the book.

“I thought when I was writing for Facebook that I needed not to be too lengthy, but since it was a book I expanded on them and hopefully made them better,” he said.

Taylor signed copies of the book at a party Nov. 4, where he said he was humbled by how much support his friends in Eureka Springs showed him.

“It was really more than I expected.

The response has been overwhelming,” he said. “Sometimes, they were buying books for friends and holiday gifts. It made me feel good that the response was so great.”

Taylor said he’s already had more orders from Amazon than he expected, with people ordering books from New York to Chicago to California. Seeing people so interested in the book, he said, was a little surprising at first.

“I was amazed that people were interested in my life. After I got to writing, I thought everybody’s got a story to tell if they’d just sit down and think about it,” Taylor said. “Everyone, whether or not they think they do, has an interesting life. I think it’s important to record that for friends, relatives and future generations.”

He added, “I think it’s human nature to really want to know each other. These stories help us know each other better.

Still, I’m overwhelmed that people are

Zeek Taylor to be featured during 2nd Saturday Gallery Stroll

Iris at the Basin Park will host local artist and author Zeek Taylor from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, as part of the 2nd Saturday Gallery Stroll. Taylor just released his first book, “Out of the Delta.”

interested in what I have done.”

One of the reasons why the response was so great, he said, is because he told stories that ring true for lots of people.

“I think a lot of people related to different stories. ‘Oh, I remember that’ or ‘I did that.’ I learned we all have a similar story, and sometimes one story can bring back memories to the listener. It’s nice to know we’ve had shared experiences,” Taylor said. “It’s important to know we have those similarities. It makes us relate to each other.”

He remembered editing the book, saying he felt emotional while re-reading some of the stories. The stories involving his mother and grandmother, he said, affected him the most. Taylor explained that his family has always been supportive of his creativity and said he’s grateful for that.

“My family plays a great role in my book and in my development and who I am,” he said. “They have loved and encouraged me. They wanted me to be whoever and whatever I wanted to be.”

He ended the book with the story of his marriage, but Taylor said that’s nowhere near the end.

“It was just the beginning. Every day’s a beginning, right?” he said. “Every day can bring a story about.”

Record number of citizens vote in Eureka Springs

By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

St. Elizabeth Parish Center was filled with voters from morning to night on Tuesday.

Poll captain Albena Link reported helping a record number of citizens vote at the parish center, where she said some people had to wait more than an hour and a half to cast their vote. Luckily, Link said, there weren’t very many complaints about the wait.

“We’ve had very few people that were really unhappy. Our poll workers are a very upbeat group and they try to keep the voters upbeat,” Link said. “At one point, we did have about 200 voters in line. We have never had that.”

She added, “It’s totally different from anything we’ve ever had before. It’s been an amazing turnout, which is thrilling.”

Link described her role, saying she helped set up the polling site, kept track of ballots and facilitated the voting. If

the poll workers couldn’t find a voter’s registration, she said, a help desk was set up to figure out if the voter could place a provisional vote.

“The goal is that anybody who walks in here who is a valid voter … we’ll make sure they get to vote,” Link said.

“We do have a process, so if we run into problems, we can still facilitate it using provisional ballots.”

Getting ready for this election, she said, has been more complicated than elections in the past. Link explained that the poll workers had to prepare for a large influx of voters, especially since the voting stations in Carroll County eliminated paper ballots this year. For Link, it wasn’t a problem to help voters who weren’t used to using voting machines.

“We’ve run into instances where people have never voted with the machine and they needed additional instructions,” she said. “We’ve had to take

more time to explain to the voters how to use the machine, and should they run into a problem, they just flag one of our workers and they will go over and assist them.”

Some people didn’t like using the voting machines, Link said, and she could understand that.

“People were very upset because they’re so attached to their paper ballots.

What I’ve tried to explain to people is it is electronic but even the paper ballots are counted electronically,” she said.

“So what’s the difference between an actual machine and a machine that does counting?”

Link continued, “I personally have been voting on the machines since we’ve had them. I love them. I don’t understand the fear, if you want to call it that, but at the same time I sympathize with people, because when you’re not used to something or you don’t trust something … you can’t blame them.”

Adamson unseats DeVito; voters reject sales-tax increase Lovely County Citizen

An incumbent Eureka Springs alderman lost his re-election bid to a first-time challenger in Tuesday’s general election, and voters rejected a proposed city salestax increase by a wide margin.

Challenger Peg Adamson received 608 votes (59.1 percent) to unseat incumbent Ward 2, Position 1 alderman James DeVito, who received 420 votes (40.9 percent).

Eureka Springs voters cast 703 votes (66.4 percent) against a proposed 1-cent sales tax, compared with 356 votes (33.6 percent) in favor of the tax. Revenue from the tax would have been used to fund repairs and improvements to the city’s water and sewer infrastructure, as well as help fund operation of the Auditorium.

Two Carroll County officials were re-elected, while voters in eastern Carroll County narrowly approved the creation of an ambulance service district.

Carroll County Judge Sam Barr, a Democrat, received 6,026 votes (57.4 percent) compared with 4,472 votes (42.6 percent) for his Republican challenger, Green Forest Mayor Charles Reece.

Sheriff Randy Mayfield, a Democrat, was elected to a second term with 5,858 votes (55.7 percent). His challenger, Republican Jack Gentry Jr., received 4 ,663 votes (44.3 percent).

The Eastern Carroll County Ambulance District, as well as a 2.5-mill tax to fund its operation, received 3,077 votes (51.2 percent). There were 2,937 votes (48.8 percent) against the ambulance district.

In the race for the Justice of the Peace District 6 seat, Republican Craig Hicks received 499 votes (67.1 percent) to defeat Democrat JoAnn Harris, who received 244 votes (32.8 percent). Incumbent Joe Mills did not seek re-election.

In the District 7 JP race, Republican

Noreen Watson received 548 votes (55.3 percent) compared with 443 votes for Democrat Jim Lowery. Incumbent John Reeve did not seek re-election.

In a statewide race, incumbent U.S. Sen. John Boozman was re-elected.

Boozman, a Republican, received 59.4 percent of the vote. Challenger Conner Eldridge, a Democrat, received 36.3 percent.

U.S. Rep. Steve Womack, whose district includes Carroll County, also was re-elected. Womack, a Republican, received 75.3 percent of the vote. Challenger Steve Isaacson, a Libertarian, received 24.7 percent.

Arkansas voters approved four constitutional amendments. Issue 1, which changes the term of office for county officials from two years to four years, received 70.2 percent of the vote. Issue 2, which allows the governor to maintain his powers while absent from the state, received 72.4 percent of the vote. Issue

3, which removes the cap on the amount of bonds the state can issue to bring businesses and corporations to Arkansas, received 65.2 percent of the vote.

Issue 6, the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Act, received 53.2 percent of the vote.

The voting totals are unofficial. The Carroll County Election Commission is scheduled to meet on Nov. 18 to certify the local election results.

Adamson excited about election to council

By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Next year, there will be a new face on the Eureka Springs City Council.

First-time challenger Peg Adamson received 608 votes (59.1 percent) in Tuesday’s general election to unseat incumbent Ward 2, Position 1 alderman James DeVito, who received 420 (40.9 percent). Adamson said Wednesday morning she is excited to serve on the council.

“It is very sweet of the people of Eureka Springs. They put some thought into it. I’m very happy to be on city council,” Adamson said. “It’s quite a brand-new thing for me. I’ve never served on anything before besides the cemetery commission.”

She said she’s looking forward to working with other council members, saying she hopes to represent the people of Eureka Springs as well as she can.

“I’m excited about representing and bringing to the table the concerns of the residents. I’m not quite sure what those concerns might be, but I hope to be open and ready to help in whatever way possible,” Adamson said.

She’s hoping to work on a master plan, Adamson said, that will encompass all the commissions in the city.

“I think it’s essential to have a master plan on how to serve the citizens and the tourists and the businesses in Eureka Springs and get everything tightened up there,” she said.

In the months leading up to the election, Adamson said she attended as many commission and city council meetings as possible.

“Trying to keep up with all the aspects of all these commissions is a pretty daunting task. I hope to be involved in all these commissions,” she said. “There’s a lot of hardworking people in town, and they’re doing really well.”

Though she’s happy to be at the council table, Adamson said she respects everything DeVito did in all the years he served there.

“He served so well for so many years.

He should be thanked and congratulated for that,” she said.

Mayor Butch Berry said he’s excited to have Adamson on the council but will miss working with DeVito.

“It’s disappointing to lose James because of his years of experience and knowledge,” Berry said.

DeVito, who serves on the City Advertising and Promotion Commission as a representative of the council, will be removed from the CAPC next year. Berry said the council will vote on the two representatives to sit on the CAPC after Adamson joins the table. Working with Adamson, Berry said, is something he’s looking forward to.

“She’s full of energy. She’s a relative newcomer, which can be good,” he said.

Berry: Water, sewer rates will rise after voters reject tax

By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Eureka Springs Mayor Butch Berry is not happy that voters rejected the city’s proposed 1-cent sales tax during Tuesday’s general election.

Eureka Springs voters cast 703 votes (66.4 percent) against the proposed tax, compared with 356 votes (33.6 percent) in favor of the tax. Revenue from the tax would have been used to fund repairs and improvements to the city’s water and sew-

er infrastructure, as well as help fund operation of the Auditorium.

“I’m disappointed. The people have spoken. I’m not sure whether it was against the whole tax or whether it was just against The Aud portion,” Berry said.

“I’m not sure it really matters. It got defeated, so no matter the reason they voted against it, the water and sewer rates are going to go up.”

Berry said he doesn’t know yet how much the rates will increase, saying the

rates won’t go up 50 percent at once.

“It’s just a matter of how much, whether it’s 25 percent or 50 percent. We don’t know yet. We’re looking to see what our options are,” Berry said.

Berry explained that the increased water rates will help cover costs for the water and sewer infrastructure. With the proposed tax failing, Berry said, The Auditorium hangs in the balance. If the tax had passed, a commission would have been set up for The Auditorium with a revenue

stream to create more programming.

“It’s still in limbo. It’s still the stepchild. People are still going to complain that nothing’s going on over there, and they’re not willing to do anything about it,” Berry said. “They’ll still blame the CAPC for not doing anything.”

He added, “I’m very disappointed. This was a great opportunity for The Auditorium to take off and stand on its own two feet. Now it’s going to go back and stay exactly where it is … in limbo.”

Planning commission discusses goals for 2017

By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Eureka Springs Planning Commission has an eye on 2017.

On Tuesday night, the commission addressed its goals for the coming year. Commissioner Susan Harman said she wants to focus on access for emergency vehicles in town, and Ann Tandy-Sallee said she hopes to look over the commission’s vision plan.

Tandy-Sallee explained that the vision plan was complete in 1977, outlining what the commission can and can’t do.

“It says we should enforce codes and if penalties are appropriate they should be done. I think we should take a look at this and

see what we should be doing,” Tandy-Sallee said.

Commissioner James Morris pointed out that the commission can’t enforce anything.

“We can’t enforce codes. We can recommend it. We’re not an enforcement body,” Morris said.

“We can certainly send it to the right group,” Tandy-Sallee responded.

She added that she was looking over the binders given out to commissioners, saying she found a few sentences that aren’t completed. Tandy-Sallee suggested looking over the binders to assess what information is available to the commissioners.

“I think that would be good to make sure

we all have the same information,” she said.

Morris said he wants to look through all the codes at the beginning of the year.

“We should all go through what we have.

It would take us about 20 minutes to page through our codes,” Morris said.

Chairwoman Melissa Greene said she hopes to look at ways the commission can stop Eureka’s population from declining.

Morris said this concerns him, too, and suggested that the commission look over the zoning map to find places where a light industrial zone can be created.

“I’d like for us to study that map and make some recommendations. We’ve talked about establishing a light industrial zone some-

where,” he said. “We can designate that as a possible use.”

Greene summarized all the commissioners’ goals, saying the commission will work on access to emergency vehicles, the vision plan, the enforcement of the codes, the planning manual, the city’s declining population and a zoning map review to create a light industrial zone. She said she will take that information to the Eureka Springs City Council soon, and the commissioners agreed that was a good idea.

“It’s a good start,” Morris said.

The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13, at City Hall.

The Good Shepherd Humane Society will host its most popular fundraiser of the year on Tuesday, Nov. 15. The Doggie Style Show is scheduled from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the 4 States Event Center at 2100 East Van Buren in Eureka Springs.

Serina Aguilera, a member of Good Shepherd’s board, said she has enjoyed preparing for the event. Aguilera explained that she’s volunteered at Good Shepherd’s thrift stores for more than a year now, saying she’s taking over as the events coordinator.

At the style show, Aguilera said, there will be a live auction, silent auction and a doggie kissing booth.

“They are going to be serving appetizers and desserts, and we’ll have wine and beer,” Aguilera said.

The theme of the show, she said, is Roaring 20s. Aguilera said she’s excited about having a chance to dress up for a good cause.

“We are all going to dress up. I know some of us are going as flapper girls,” she said. “We want people to dress up, too. Halloween just passed and now we have another opportunity to dress up.”

Thrift store manager Janet Chupp said she’s looking forward to seeing the venue decorated for the event.

“The crew we have decorating are just magnificently talented people, and they amaze us every year,” Chupp said. “We throw something different and wild and wacky at them and they come up with amazing things. It’s going to be exciting to see.

When it comes to life, it’s just fabulous.”

Pets on a leash are welcome at the event.

Aguilera said some of the shelter dogs will be there, too. She explained that the dogs will have a space outside, where the shelter’s employees will watch them.

“People can see them on a more personal level. The animals are just as important as kids are to me. When they’re out there, people can interact with them and if they do want to adopt one, they can go to the shelter and fill out the papers and go through the whole process,” Aguilera said.

All the proceeds from the event will ben-

efit the shelter, Aguilera said, to help keep it running. She said the money raised at the fundraiser will go toward medical care for the animals, nourishment, training, food and other basic supplies.

“We are maintaining their home. We take in the dogs from Berryville, Eureka and Green Forest … pretty much all over Carroll County,” Aguilera said. “Everything that comes in goes towards that with the hope that they will one day get adopted and find a wonderful family and grow old and live a happy, loved life.”

She continued, “We’re pretty much their foster parents until they get to be with their forever family, and like any other parents, of course we want them to be happy.”

Aguilera pointed out that Good Shepherd doesn’t receive any help from the state. The shelter runs completely through the help of community members, she said.

“The community is a huge part in what we do every day. They are a part of us.

They’re with us,” Aguilera said.

The style show is the shelter’s most popular fundraiser, Aguilera said, and she’s looking forward to seeing how many people come out to support Good Shepherd this year.

“It’s very appreciated. Honestly, it is heartwarming to see the community come together because we are all fighting for the same cause,” she said. “We all care and we all want for the animals to have somewhere to go … the unwanted ones, the ones that are abandoned. It’s great to see all of us come together for the same cause.”

The animals at the shelter, she continued, matter very much to her and everybody who works with Good Shepherd.

“They are not just animals that we are taking care of. They are somebody’s family. They are going to be part of somebody’s family,” Aguilera said. “That’s why we take such good care of them, because we know they will be someone’s family.”

The tickets to the style show are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. For more information on Good Shepherd, visit www. goodshepherd-hs.org.

A tomb with a view

Cemetery commission reviews vision statements, guidelines

By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com

The Eureka Springs Cemetery Commission has its eyes on the future.

Commission members shared their vision statements for the future of the Eureka Springs Cemetery at their Wednesday, Nov. 2 meeting, discussing what aspects they would like to see continued and what changes they would like to see.

Cemetery superintendent and commission chair Peg Adamson said she sees the cemetery as a beautiful and peaceful slice of Eureka Springs history and envisions many new features that will incorporate 21st Century tastes with 19th Century methods. She said that includes goals such as the construction of a columbarium to store funeral urns, a Victorian-style structure for family gatherings and Memorial Day, making repairs and improvements to the groundskeeper shed, creating a premium annual fundraising event for the cemetery and offering two of three specialty courses in gravestone markings and cleaning, history, culture and art throughout the year.

“All of these visions for the future require funding and thus, though grant applications and unique fundraising events, the cemetery can become financially sound and secure for the next custodians,” Adamson said.

Commissioner Steven “Yip” Vorbeck agreed with many of Adamson’s points, such as constructing a columbarium and pavilion area for city and private events. He said he would also like to see the construction of a scatter garden for families to scatter the ashes of loved ones, the establishment of a “Friends of the Cemetery” group, the promotion of cemetery events through media sources and pushing the historic nature of the cemetery.

“Whether we get the historic designation or not, which I’m confident we

well, the cemetery is historic to Eureka Springs,” Vorbeck said. “There’s no denying that. I’d like us to push that as a draw for visitors.”

Secretary and treasurer Bob Thomas said he would like to see the cemetery become a hub of social activity for the city. Commissioner Susan Tharp said she would like to see the cemetery continue on the path the commission has set out for it and continue thinking forward.

“I think as long as we keep thinking forward and try to maintain cohesiveness throughout the cemetery it will be in good shape for the next custodians,” Tharp said. “I would also like to see the cemetery find ways to give back to the community and help out.”

Adamson said she was pleased with the submitted vision statements from the commissioners and would consolidate them for an overall plan for the future.

“I think these are all great. We all hit similar points and seem to share a common vision for the future of the cemetery,” she said. “I will consolidate these statements and format them.”

Also at the meeting, the commission reviewed a set of revised cemetery guidelines. The guidelines are as follows: 1. Decorations are seasonal. All decorations will be removed one month prior to Memorial Day for the annual cleanup and preparation of new decorations.

2. All decorations must be on the gravestone, and there must be no glass containers of any kind, Styrofoam or metal stakes used.

3. Plantings must be approved by the cemetery superintendent or the cemetery commission.

4. Plot and lot borders are allowed up to 12 inches in height and will be maintained by the heirs or designated See Cemetery, page 22

Attorney requests mental exam for alleged bank robber

By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The attorney for a Berryville man who allegedly robbed a bank in Eureka Springs has filed a motion requesting a mental examination for his client.

Hunter Cody Chafin, 19, was arrested Oct. 14 after allegedly robbing a First National Bank branch in Eureka Springs earlier that day. Chafin was charged with aggravated robbery and failure to pay. He allegedly took $3,350 during the robbery.

On Oct. 26, Chafin’s attorney filed a motion requesting a mental examination for Chafin. The motion says Chafin is charged with one count of bank robbery and had his initial court appearance on Oct. 20.

While preparing and reviewing documents, the motion says, Chafin’s attorney found a reasonable cause to believe Chafin is suffering from a mental disease or defect rendering him mentally incompetent

to the extent that he is unable to understand the nature and consequences of the proceedings against him or to assist properly in his defense.

Chafin has a history of counseling and prescribed medication for mental health issues, the motion says, including a report by one treatment provider saying Chafin’s intellectual functioning is well below that of his chronological age.

The motion says Chafin’s counsel is asking for the court to order a psychiatric/psychological examination for Chafin.

This examination should be ordered before any hearing is held, the motion says, and should be conducted by the Bureau of Prisons at a federal medical facility to determine whether Chafin is competent to stand trial and assist in his own defense.

The motion asks for the person who examines Chafin to prepare a report that will be filed in the court, with copies provided to the defense and prosecution.

Dear editor, Halloween on White Street was a huge success, proving again that Eureka Springs is the place for good old-fashioned family fun. Head counts vary up and down the block, but most reports agree as many as 1,500 trick or treaters were served. The organizers of the White Street Candy Bank would like to thank the citizens of Eureka for stepping up and donating a whopping 275 pounds of candy to our first-time effort.

We never expected to take in that much, and it was wonderful to supplement the generosity of more than 18 households from the hotel to the highway. Our gratitude to your publication for getting the word out, and to the collection sites — Oscar’s Cafe, Ermilio’s and Regalia Handmade Clothing — and to the entire neighborhood for dispersing candy to the masses. Special thanks to Handsome Holiday Heroes for adding special fun with their photo booth. We plan

to do it again next year, and if we start thinking now maybe we can come up with ways to answer the call for healthier treats and inexpensive locally produced toys. Thanks again, Eureka, for spreading the joy!

— MARK HUGHES

Let’s work together

Dear editor, We are Democrats. However, Donald Trump has won the election. We must put our differences aside and accept the election graciously. This is what makes our country so unique, a peaceful exchange of power. We are not as happy as much of our family is, but I do accept him as our elected president. Long live the new president and may he serve well and cross the aisle of opposition and serve all the people. We begin our prayers for his success now.

Sincerely, – WALTER BURRELL and LEE KEATING

From the EDITOR

T

Angry and sad

his isn’t the column that was supposed to be here today. I was supposed to write about how we just elected our first woman president. I was supposed to tell all of you how wonderful it is that our country rejected a racist, sexist man in favor of a woman who holds progressive views and is willing to work across the aisle to get things done.

I was supposed to say all that, but instead I feel silenced. Donald Trump is our new president. I can’t help but feel sick to my stomach every time I think about it.

I think it’s fair to say many of you who are reading this feel the same way. If you’re anything like me, this feels very surreal. How could we elect this man? How could this happen?

Gideon and I spent Tuesday night watching election coverage with our friend Kelby, staring dumbfounded at the television as the results came in. Gideon kept insisting that Hillary Clinton would pull off a victory, but it soon became obvious that wasn’t going to happen. At some point, I couldn’t handle it anymore. Kelby couldn’t, either. He went home, and I went to bed. I hoped I would wake up in a country that had just elected its first female leader.

Instead, I woke up at 4 a.m., checked my phone and saw that Trump had cinched the victory. Though I had barely slept for three hours, I couldn’t drift off again. I sat up in bed, put my head in my hands and sobbed. I cried for the young girls who looked up to Clinton and for my friends in the LGBT community who could now lose their rights and for those in the Muslim community who might get deported from our great country, a place Trump feels isn’t that great after all.

Mostly, I cried for our country. No one knows what will come, and that’s the scary part. Trump is unpredictable because he has never served in a political office.

At the same time, we have a pretty good idea of who he is. He’s a sexual predator. That’s not hearsay; he was recorded saying he grabs women’s genitals just because he can.

He wants to place a ban on Muslims entering the country, and he believes women who have abortions should be punished for it. Trump has repeatedly attacked women for the way they look. He has been accused of sexual assault more times than you can count on one hand. He thinks climate change is a myth and has said in interviews that a woman’s place Samantha Jones is in the home.

Trump is not a good person, not in any way, shape or form. Somehow, he’s going to be our president. I can’t fault him for that. Over the past year and a half, he hasn’t tried to hide who he is. He has put his deplorable views completely on display, never even pretending to be something he’s not. He didn’t play the game the way other politicians did, and that seems to be the reason so many people voted for him.

But if he didn’t play the game during the election, who’s to say he’ll start doing that when he becomes our president? It’s very possible that he will abuse his power, leaving our economy and our very basic rights in peril. If he does that … if he wrecks our country beyond repair … I won’t blame him. I’ll blame the people who voted for him knowing he’s said the things he’s said and done the things he’s done. If our America falters because of Trump, he won’t be at fault. All that blame goes to my fellow Americans.

This isn’t the column that was supposed to be here today, but it’s all I’ve got. In light of the election, I think many of you can understand that sentiment.

Highlanders roll past St. Joe

Civic duty

Rick Mann takes his turn at the voting machine Tuesday night. Mann is one of the many Eureka Springs citizens who waited more than an hour to vote at St. Elizabeth Parish Center.

A helping hand

Eureka Springs coach Brian Rambo knew Thursday’s game at St. Joe could go one of two ways. Either the Highlanders would start slow and sleepwalk to a victory or they would start fast and win with ease.

Eureka Springs certainly started fast en route to a 77-29 victory.

“For the first time we were really clicking,” Rambo said. “We were turning them over and shooting the ball at a high percentage. We had hoped to come out and put the game away early so we could get some younger guys in there and we did that.”

Eureka Springs got out to a 29-10 lead at the end of the first quarter and this is when Rambo began playing some of his younger players. Rambo was proud of the way they played, though.

“We didn’t have much of a drop-off

there in the second quarter, so that’s encouraging,” Rambo said. “It was good seeing Dalton Arnold get in the game. He is so long and athletic. Slade Clark came in and took care of the ball for us and Stephen Ton came in and got some valuable minutes.”

Eureka Springs stretched the lead to 49-17 at halftime and the Highlanders led 72-27 going into the fourth quarter. After playing five of their first six games on the road, the Highlanders get their next three games at home.

“I told my guys it feels like we have been an NBA team on a long road trip and we are finally coming back home,” Rambo said. “It will be good to go home, have dinner and go to the game without having a long trip back home.”

On Tuesday, Highlanders defeated Hartford 55-20.

Scouting for Food drive kicks off

Local Boy Scouts and cub scouts kicked off their annual “Scouting for Food” Drive this past Saturday. With the help of scouts and their families, along with members of the Rotary Club and food bank workers, the group blanketed the area with donation bags on doorknobs. Starting at 9 a.m. this Saturday, Nov. 12, the food will be collected and taken to the Flint Street Fellowship.

Junior basketball tournament to begin Nov. 14

Berryville’s junior basketball tournament will kick off on Monday, Nov. 14, at the Bobcat Arena. The Eureka Springs junior girls will play Berryville at 6:15 p.m. Monday, with the junior boys playing Berryville at 7:30 p.m.

Taken around 1904, this photo shows the Hotel Dieu Hospital, also known as the Sisters Hospital. The Sisters of Mercy’s Hotel Dieu Hospital became a place of rest and recuperation for the chronically ill or those looking for a haven from the pressures of everyday life. Just before the turn of the century, Frances Kerens realized a religious order could help solve the problems of those in need of spiritual replenishing. She saw the hospital as a place to fill the gap between priest and the Catholic populace. She asked Mother M. de Pazzi Bentley at the Sisters of Mercy Motherhouse in St. Louis to send sisters to Eureka Springs. In 1900, a St. Louis family gave a donation to help buy the title to four adjacent lots near the lower end of Fairmount Street. The sisters renovated the building on the lots, adding a surgical wing in 1908. In 1912, the sisters returned to St. Louis because of financial problems. The doors to the hospital permanently closed in 1913, and the property was sold in 1920. Today, a stone wall at the rear of the former Hotel Dieu is all that is left of the sister’s efforts … a reminder of the care and dedication given to those in need.

Veterans Day salute Carroll County hosts multiple events to honor veterans

By Kelby Newcomb and Samantha Jones CCNNews@cox-internet.com

Carroll County has planned a variety of events to honor veterans for their service this Veterans Day weekend. Each city will salute veterans’ service with food, celebrations and more.

Eureka Springs Eureka Springs will pay tribute to veterans with the annual Veterans Weekend from Thursday, Nov. 10, through Monday, Nov. 14, featuring a variety of events and a parade honoring all veterans and active military personnel.

This special Veterans Day celebration begins at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10, with the Marine Birthday Ball and Veterans Party at Grub & Pub on Highway 62 East.

The highlight of the weekend happens Friday, Nov. 11, with the Veterans Day Parade, starting at 10 a.m. in front of the Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library.

The first Veterans Day Parade in Eureka Springs was held in 2009, and the event keeps growing.

The parade honors all veterans. Retired, active duty, reserve personnel and any veteran who has served is welcome to be in the parade, where they serve as the Grand Marshals. The parade ends at the Pied Piper on Main Street, where there will be a rifle salute by the American Legion at 11:11 a.m. The Eureka

Springs Elementary and Middle School choir will perform a short program, followed by a meet and greet at the Pied Piper.

Commander Mark Warkentin said the American Legion enjoys seeing the students perform after the parade. The first performance happened last year, Warkentin said, and he hopes it will continue for years to come.

“It just really makes our day to have those kids out and teaching them things about veterans,” Warkentin said. “It’s a really awesome feeling to have them out there.”

On Saturday, Grub & Pub sponsors a poker run from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

All money donated at the event will go to the American Legion to support their work in the community.

A hamburger cook-off will be held Monday at Pine Mountain Village.

Registration will begin at 10 a.m., with burgers ready at 11 a.m. For $5, guests get a soda, a chance to sample all the burgers and two tickets to vote on the best burger. Becky and the Candyman will perform.

Warkentin said the American Legion is looking forward to the weekend.

“We always look forward to it. It’s one of our biggest events of the year,” he said. “It’s a very satisfying feeling for us to be able to put on these programs for the veterans, and we hope everybody

Passion Play has record attendance in October

By Samantha Jones Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

The Great Passion Play had a pretty great season this year.

Kent Butler, director of marketing, reported Monday that the play had more than 2,200 people come to see the show on Oct. 29. Butler said this is the biggest audience the play has had since Aug. 3, 2001. During that show, he said anyone in the armed forces or law enforcement got in free with their immediate families.

“It was a special night. I know a lot of the town was busy. We had shows at The Auditorium and Voices of the Silent City,” Butler said. “We had as many people at the Passion Play that night as the whole population of Eureka Springs. That’s what it needs to be.

That means a lot more people are able to experience all Eureka Springs has to offer.”

He said that show capped off a month of highly attended performances, saying the play broke another attendance record Oct. 22.

“That was an eight-year record, and we blew it to smithereens the next week,” Butler said. “I think we broke a 10-year attendance record for the month of October. When you realize that’s the greatest number of people we’ve had for 15 years, that’s an amazing accomplishment.”

Though there will be no more performances until May 2017, Butler said the Passion Play isn’t completely closed down. He said the Holy Land Tour and the Bible and art museums will be over all year.

“We still welcome tons of people. A lot of people are also seeing all that we have to

offer on the grounds,” he said. “People have always said Eureka closes down in the winter. Well, it doesn’t.”

Traffic is generally pretty good year round at the Passion Play, he said. Butler pointed out another attraction that might bring more people to the play’s grounds, saying a hiking trail has just been opened on the property. He said the two-mile trail goes through the Holy Land area.

“It was a major project this season. It goes through every major attraction of the Holy

Land, so you don’t have to take a tour,” he said. “We still sell tickets to the Holy Land Tour but those are guided tours. During the day, there’s no charge for people to take the trails.”

He’s interested in getting to use the trail himself, Butler said.

“I haven’t tried my mountain bike on it yet, but I have a feeling it’s going to be a fun ride,” he said.

He pointed out that a youth missions organization helped build the trail. There were

238 young people, he said, who came to Eureka Springs to create the new attraction.

Butler said the trail takes a little more than an hour to hike if you take your time through it.

“It’s neat for us to be able to offer that, especially for our local community. We have so many people that love to walk trails. A two-mile trail is not insignificant,” he said.

Moving forward, Butler said the trail could be connected to other trails in Eureka Springs. He said he wants to connect the trail from Magnetic Spring to the Christ of the Ozarks to help expand the trail system.

“It just makes the whole system work better,” Butler said. “It’s what we’re trying to do to reach out to our community, for them to be able to experience what our tourists do.”

Another major project for next year, he said, is a marketplace area at the beginning of the east gate on the play’s grounds. He’s looking for vendors and people who enjoy selling their crafts, Butler said, to make the marketplace more lively.

He said he’s also excited about putting a petting zoo on the grounds. Butler explained that the petting zoo will be at the beginning of the Holy Land Tour.

“It’ll take a couple of months to finish, but it’ll be ready by May 2017. We had a few animals donated to be part of that petting zoo, including miniature donkeys and horses,” he said. “We’re trying to get things that are new to us. They’ve done the petting zoo about 25 years ago, and sometimes ideas that were done 25 yeas ago are really good.”

AETN partners with Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library in sweater drive The Arkansas Educational Television Network and the Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library have partnered to sponsor a Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood Sweater Drive as a tribute to Fred Rogers and his example of being a caring neighbor. The drive will be held from Nov. 1-30.

Members of the community are asked to donate new or gently worn sweaters at the Eureka Springs Carnegie Public

Library at 194 Spring St. A receptacle to collect the sweaters will be located prominently within the library. Sweaters collected in this drive will be distributed locally to neighbors in need.

This year’s statewide drive is held in honor of AETN executive director Allen Weatherly, who died Nov. 1.

“For me, Fred Rogers epitomized the heart of educational service media’s mission,” Weatherly had said. “His life was

devoted to heaping children and their families grow and proposer.”

He continued, “His legacy is carried on through the Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood Sweater Drive. We have been thrilled with the tremendous response to the drive and are proud to help our neighbors and keep Fred Rogers’ spirit alive.”

Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library is one of more than 30 libraries across Arkansas participating in this

year’s statewide Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood Sweater Drive. Library manager Loretta Crenshaw said she sees the drive as one more way to help the community.

“I know that our citizens will do everything they can to help their friends and neighbors stay warm this winter,” Crenshaw said.

Hospital, health department launch safe sleep campaign Arkansas Children’s Hospital and the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) are launching a safe sleep campaign to educate families on how to help their babies sleep safely to decrease their baby’s risk of dying from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

SIDS is the sudden unexplained death of an infant under 1 year old with no known cause even after a complete investigation.

The campaign launched this month, and is tied to SIDS Awareness Month.

Each day, six babies in the United States die from SIDS. Arkansas babies face an even higher risk – about 133 percent above the national rate for SIDS, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2014, Arkansas ranked highest in the nation for SIDS-related deaths, according to the CDC’s Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System.

Arkansas families need to know the ABCs of safe sleep to help protect their infants. Safe sleep choices greatly decrease a child’s risk of dying from SIDS. Families can easily remember these tips to help their babies sleep safely: • Alone. Babies should always sleep alone. Nothing else should go in the crib with the baby – no stuffed animals, pillows, bumper pads, blankets or other soft objects. Bed sharing also increases the risk of dying from SIDS. Parents should sleep in the same room, but not on the same sleep surface as the baby.

• Back. Research shows placing a baby to sleep on his or her back is the safest position.

• Crib. A safety-approved crib, bassi-

net or pack-n-play is the recommended place a baby should sleep. Infants should not sleep on adult beds, chairs, sofas, recliners or waterbeds. A safe crib includes a firm mattress with a tight-fitted sheet.

“Every family wants to do what’s best for their child, and through this campaign, we’re giving them the tools to do that from the very start,” said Dr. Mary Aitken, director of the Arkansas Children’s Injury Prevention Center.

Aitken is also a professor of Pediatrics in the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Medicine.

“These ABCs – alone, back, crib – can potentially save a baby’s life,” she said.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants always be placed to sleep alone with no bumper pads, pillows, comforters or other soft items, on their back, and in a crib, bassinet or pack-n-play. New parents should be sure that all caregivers — like grandparents, babysitters and daycare providers — also follow these rules.

The ABCs of Safe Sleep Campaign will cover every county in Arkansas, providing educational materials to health units, hospitals and offices of the Arkansas Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC).

ADH and ACH support the mission of the Cribs for Kids Hospital Certification Program and their National Infant Safe Sleep Initiative that aims to prevent SIDS and promote the importance of safe sleep practices. UAMS is the first hospital in Arkansas to receive the gold certification from Cribs for Kids for its commitment to reducing infant sleep-related deaths.

The Ozarks Chorale will perform in Sounds of the Season at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13, at the Holiday Island Clubhouse. Holiday Island Music Guild sponsors the annual music program.

Cocktails, trails pair up for fundraiser

By Kelby Newcomb CCNNews@cox-internet.com

The Eureka Springs Trails Committee and the Eureka Springs Downtown Network mixed for an evening of fun and fundraising last Thursday.

The trails committee was featured at this month’s Cocktails for a Cause, an event hosted by the Downtown Network on the first Thursday of every month to benefit local nonprofits. The trails committee was recognized on Thursday, Nov. 3, at Brews.

The fundraiser featured raffle prizes, a round of trails trivia specific to Eureka’s local trails, live music and a variety of cocktails.

Jacqueline Wolven, executive director of the Downtown Network, said the organization chose the trails committee for Cocktails for a Cause because of all the work the group has done in the downtown district.

“We chose this trails group based on the work they’ve done in the downtown district,” Wolven said. “They have added several new signs to the trails in the area and shown a great commitment to the project.

There’s more to come, and we knew they would need some money to keep up the great work.”

Adam Biossat, chairman of the Eureka

Cemetery

persons. Proper alignment of the border must be marked by the cemetery sexton.

5. Cleaning of gravestones, footstones or statuary must be approved by the heirs or designated persons. No abrasives or solvents, such as bleach, diesel fuel or paint stripper, may be used. The only approved cleaning agent is Wet and Forget.

No wire brushes or scrapers should be used as this damages the stone and metal.

Adamson said the goal was to streamline the old guidelines so that they are easier to read and understand.

“Whenever we complete revisions and approve them, I think we should post them on whatever website we might use in the future to provide information on the cemetery,” she said.

Springs Trails Committee, said the committee is subordinate to the Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission.

“There are other awesome trails organizations in town, but ours is officially connected to the city,” Biossat said. “We work closely with the parks department on our projects.”

Wolven said she believes the trails committee and Downtown Network have a lot in common because both are focused on making Eureka Springs a better place to live and visit.

“I think a lot of what we do here is visitor-focused, but this is also for the community,” she said.

Biossat agreed, saying “The trails project is for people who live here and visitors.”

Dorothy Guertin, a member of the trails committee, said the goal of the trail committee’s master plan is to connect the trails throughout the area so that people can get to all the points of interest in Eureka Springs without having to get into a car.

“So many of the people who live here use the in-town trails to commit to work if they work downtown,” Guertin said. “Our goal is to make it so people can get from location to location just using trails.”

“One of our goals it to do more trails

in town for transportation and recreation,” Biossat said, “to solve some traffic problems. People are already walking to the downtown area, so let’s keep them off the road.”

Wolven said she was all for the trail committee’s goals because it would help get people downtown and keep them there.

“That’s the whole point of our organization,” she said. “I want people to stay and experience the area, and you need to get out of your car to appreciate it. We love what the trails committee is doing to help with that.”

Wolven said the money raised by the Cocktails for a Cause event would be split evenly between the trails committee and the Downtown Network.

Biossat said the trails committee would use the money to continue updating trail signs and expanding the trail system.

“We are kind of in phase one of the trail sing updates,” he said. “It’s going awesome.”

Guertin said the trail signs all tie in to the new map of the trail system. The trails committee has also added map numbers to the signs on trails around Lake Leatherwood and other locations, she said.

“So if you’re walking at Lake Leatherwood, you can look at the map and say

‘Oh, I know where I am now.’ If someone has an emergency, they can call and say they are at map marker number 10,” she said. “That’s important to have.”

Wolven said the Downtown Network will use the money to continue to preserve and promote the downtown area.

“It’s fun to hold these events. We’re the only Main Street in America that hosts a fundraiser for other nonprofits,” she said.

“We feel good about that. It’s nice to give back.”

Guertin said the trails committee also wants to emphasize that there is always room for more volunteers who are interested in working and maintaining trails.

“It’s not all physical work,” Biossat said. “There’s a lot of clerical work and committee stuff as well. Everyone has their strengths.”

He said the trails committee is going to the International Mountain Biking Association world summit in Bentonville from Wednesday, Nov. 9, to Sunday, Nov. 13, to promote the Eureka Springs trails system.

“We have a unique spot with such an awesome town with a great trail system, so we want to get the word out about Eureka trails,” Biossat said. “We even have 12-month mountain biking. Few places have that.”

Thomas said the old guidelines state that a headstone is required within a year of burials and asked what the commission thought about green burials, where trees are planted on grave sites instead of headstones.

“A lot of people are wanting green burials now because there is less environmental impact,” he said. “How are we going to handle those requests and maintain them?”

Adamson said she supported allowing green burials and saw no reason that the cemetery needed to require headstones.

Tharp and Vorbeck agreed but pointed out that guidelines would need to be established for green burials, including specifying where the trees must be planted on the gravesite and what kinds of trees the cemetery allows.

Tharp requested that the commission-

ers be given time to review the proposed guidelines before approving the revisions. Adamson agreed to the plan and encouraged the commissioners to bring up any recommendations or concerns they have when reviewing the guidelines.

Thomas gave the secretary and treasurer’s report to the commission, noting that the cemetery’s checking account balance was $10,481.33 at the end of October. He reminded the commission that at least $2,500 of that sum was encumbered for the fountain repair and replacement of missing cornerstones.

Adamson said she has not heard back from the city in response to the commission’s request to transfer leftover funds from the city’s “Cemetery Wages” account to an appropriate account to fund the rental of a tractor and the purchase of prioritized equipment for the cemetery.

At the commission’s previous meeting, Thomas had said that the “Cemetery Wages” account, which is used to pay the cemetery’s groundskeepers, would have about $2,000 remaining after paying the groundskeepers at the end of the year. The commission had voted to send a request to relocate a percentage of those funds for needed cemetery maintenance projects and equipment.

Also at the meeting, the commission voted to approve allotting $55 for the design mockup and purchase of new materials for the cemetery’s sign. Adamson said the sign will read “Eureka Springs Cemetery: Open from Dawn ‘til Dusk” so that visitors are aware of the hours.

The cemetery commission’s next regular meeting will be at 9:30 a.m.

Wednesday, Nov. 16, at the Auditorium.

THE

Choose the right supplement

O

f course I support our local organic farmers and the healthy/ fresh produce we get yearJim Fain round. It is true that we all need to get our nutritional needs met first through food choice. You can be sure I do this at my home. But therapeutic levels of a nutritional supplement may be needed for well-being that just can’t be gotten by eating good food. Choosing the right supplement and the right amount is the key to, perhaps, avoiding synthetic medicine.

These days, information is stunningly easy to get on any topic, making it difficult to sort out differing supplement claims. Even the simple questions of when to take the supplement, with food or not, combining multiple supplements and interaction with medications, sometimes seem unclear. Reminding yourself that supplements are food and not a prescribed drug helps sort this out.

Knowing the best time to take supplements is best determined by your own eating schedule. Most supplements are best taken with food but a very few should be between meals. Most supplements digest the best when taken with meals. When you eat, your digestive system is going into full gear, so you will get the best benefit. Exceptions to this would be individual amino acids (aminos have “L” in front, like L-Tyrosine or L-Theanine), SAMe and some romantic enhancement supplements. Of course, stimulant supplements are best not taken before bedtime and sleep/ sedation supplements need to be taken before bedtime.

Also, as with anything, allergies happen. This is very uncommon and rarely severe.

Most of us swallow multiple supplements each day.

Unlike prescribed drugs, there is little to worry about in terms of interactions. Think about it as though you’re eating at a buffet. Combining food like veggies, bread and protein is only based upon what you want to eat and how you feel after eating. Food supplements are simply more potent sources of certain foods. If taking multiples of supplements, separating (dividing) the dose is best, especially if you want to keep a high level of the nutrient going all day long.

The general rule of food supplementation and using prescribed drugs is that if they do the same thing, then don’t use the supplement, as you can overdo. An example of this is using SAMe or 5HTP for depression while taking Paxil or Effexor. This is not a good thing. Of course, with your doctor’s agreement, the supplement may work better for you, so a trial can be made.

Additionally, a small handful of supplements need extra care such as naringin, creatine, kava and ephedra, so extra guidance with these is a good thing.

Wisecrack ZODIAC ARIES: You will meet a tall, dark man with a beard. He likes to watch ‘My Little Pony’ in his PJs. So do you! Order pizza and see what else you have in common, like tangoing nude or collecting margarine wrappers.

TAURUS: Find the truth within. You may have to dig through the layers of memorized ‘The Bachelor’ contestants, but you’ll finally strike truthy gold.

GEMINI: All systems are go, all lights are green, and all hands on deck! Not Dick. Everyone makes that mistake, and frankly, Dick’s getting a little tired of being grabbed. Respect the poor guy.

CANCER: No one expects the Spanish Inquisition. They, do, however, expect the Klingon preposition.

Daq! What’s wrong with you? Did you not take basic Klingon grammar in elementary school?

LEO: The sun’s always shining on you. Always. No one else gets any sun. They’re pale, and their crops are withering. Don’t be so selfish.

VIRGO: You’re going to have a lucky day. Very, very lucky. Who knows why that dump truck was only carrying four-leaf clovers, but it released its load on you. Now if you could only find your car under all that greenery.

LIBRA: There’s a door. You look at the bottom of the door. You see shadows passing back and forth. Weird.

No one else is supposed to be in the house. Open the door with one hand, and shakily hold a camera in the other.

SCORPIO: Your boss tells you that your skills aren’t worth a can of beans. That’s preposterous. What you can do with your tongue and the light socket is worth at least five cans of beans. Maybe more if you plug it in.

SAGITTARIUS: You find a new show to watch on the Internet. It’s funny and sometimes it makes you cry. It also makes you forget that existential dread. The show is about you.

CAPRICORN: Everyone loves a

party! Except for that guy in the corner. Tell him to take off his dark robe and put down his scythe and loosen up. Boy, he’s thin. Offer him cheese dip.

AQUARIUS: You have wings. Use them! Fly, fly little magical bird, into the clouds. Unless they don’t work. You might be a penguin.

That’s OK, too. At least the way you waddle around and noisily gulp raw fish is cute.

PISCES: You feel different today.

You look the same. Have you replaced yourself with a clone?

Do you feel more energized, ready to take on the world? Are you finally happy with your jeans size and how you fit into the rest of the world? Yep, sounds like a clone. Wonder where the real you is kept. Tonight, look in the closet while everyone’s asleep.
