City council votes down proposed circus ordinance By Alana Cook

Citizen.Editor.Eureka@gmail.com

Despite local citizens protesting during Monday night’s Eureka Springs City Council meeting and pleading with council members to pass the second reading of a proposed ordinance that would ban circuses that use animals from performing in Eureka Springs, the council voted it down. Alderwoman Mickey Schneider warned her fellow council members that if they moved forward with the ordinance without allowing it to be voted upon by the public, the city risked being sued. “This issue is definitely a personal rights issue. If you pass the ordinance, the city will get sued,” Schneider said at Monday’s meeting. Local animal welfare activists say they are puzzled as to why the council would pass the ordinance on its first reading, then vote it down on the second. “Animal welfare is such a big issue, especially in the south. Arkansas has yet to even ratify the Equal Rights Amendment from 1972. … I still can’t wrap my head around how the ordinance came to fail,” Rachel Brix, a local animal welfare activist, told the Citizen. Brix equated the importance of this ordinance to marriage equality. “We could have been the first town in this state and this region, and then more would follow, but that’s probably where the problem actually lies,” Brix told the Citizen. “Animals make people too much money in this area of the country and that’s partly why the attitudes toward animals are still so primitive. I’m not so naive that I don’t see the power play politics and influence involved, but it makes my heart sink because the real losers aren’t the community. They can go elsewhere to see a circus with animals. It’s the step toward ending animal cruelty that Eureka Springs had the opportunity to take, so the animals lose. We could have been a leader for animals and instead, we sided with politics.”

David Orr, a representative for the Outdoor Amusement Business Circus Unit and Circus Fans Association of America Animal Committee, in an Oct. 27 letter to Mayor Morris Pate, strongly encouraged the city to vote down the proposed ordinance on the basis that there is no empirical evidence that proves animals are harmed in circuses. “We write today in opposition to the proposed ordinance restricting circuses from using live animal acts in Eureka Springs,” Orr’s letter says. “We are disappointed that the city of Eureka Springs has chosen to accept the ideologically motivated agenda of animal rights activists over the years of knowledge and experience of animal trainers and husbandry experts. No doubt you are inundated with lies, doctored video propaganda, halftruths, and hearsay. ‘Proof’ is lacking.” But Brix and Trella Laughlin say they were eyewitnesses to the abuse of animals during last week’s circus at Lake Leatherwood City Park. “Every religion talks about love and compassion. I saw these animals abused and hooks were used to control animals. It’s unnecessary and cruel,” Laughlin said Monday in her plea to the council to pass the proposed ordinance. Brix presented the council with a poster of photos displaying what she said is maltreatment of the animals. In his letter, Orr continued in his defense of the circus industry and said that he did not understand why in a time of “tight city budgets, City Councils would even consider an item like this.” “We sincerely hope that City Council will not tolerate this bullying any more than you would tolerate bullying in your schools,” Orr says in his letter. “We are against abuse of animals and feel that abusers should be punished.” Alderman James DeVito, who joined Alderwoman Joyce Zeller in voting for the proposed ordinance, stressed the importance of animal rights during the meeting.

Rachel Brix speaks at Monday night’s Eureka Springs City Council meeting in support of a proposed ordinance that would ban circuses involving animals from performing in the city. The council rejected the proposal on its second reading by a vote of 4-2.

“It’s not really an issue about circuses coming to town. It’s about animal rights,” DeVito said. “These are wild exotic animals that don’t need to be dragged around for the entertainment of people. Circuses

are on their way out anyway.” The proposed ordinance failed on a 4-2 vote. Schneider voted no, along with aldermen Terry McClung, David Mitchell and Dee Purkeypile.

Mud Street Cafe was named the Best Coffee Shop in Arkansas by Business Insider in August. The article, http://www. businessinsider.com/bestcoffee-shops-in-the-us-20147?op=1, which was shared online more than 1 million times, praises Mud Street Cafe for its award-winning coffee. Shop proprietor Bobbie Foster says it’s not only the coffee that makes the business successful, but her staff. Even customers say they notice how well the staff works together. “Customers say that what sets us apart from other businesses similar to ours is how well the staff works together,” Foster said. “People tell me they have never seen so many people so happy in their job. I have a very genuine staff.” Jennifer Cross, Bobbie’s sister and front-of-the house manager, cares for the hospitality details. The hostess, Gayle Green, does not sit behind a stale podium but rather greets people with a warm smile and seems to be more of a fixture than a member of staff. Upon entering through the Cafe doors, guests get a glimpse of the detail and meticulous care that goes into making Mud Street a success. The dessert case is the first thing guests see. “All of our desserts are made here by our own baker,” Foster said. Keeping Mud Street customers and staff happy is

critical to running a successful business and supporting the local economy, Foster said. “Mud Street staffs and supports 21 people and their families,” Foster said, pointing out the economic significance the Cafe has on the local community. “We depend on – and have – the most excellent staff in Eureka.” Foster said Mud Street’s coffee tastes so good, in part, because it starts with quality beans. “The reason a coffee tastes burned is not the equipment, it’s the beans,” Foster said. “To have good coffee, you have to have good beans.” Foster said the Cafe gets its beans from Fresh Beans. Staff grinds beans every morning, coffees are mostly fair-trade and many are organic. One taste of Mud Street’s fresh espresso reveals the importance of doing business locally. Freshness, whether in coffee or with ingredients, is critical to local businesses and suppliers alike. A trip to Fresh Beans hints at why the Cafe’s coffee earned a nod from Business Insider. Allen Walter started Fresh Beans after retiring and selling his software business. Walter supplies local businesses like Mud Street Cafe with custom blends of various coffees from places like Guatemala and Indonesia. The aroma of coffee emanates from a large vat of fresh pre-roasted beans as he scoops up a handful. “Not a lot of roasters use

Indonesian Sumatra. It’s more popular in Europe,” he said. Walter’s seemingly impeccable roasting process that produces the beans for Mud Street and other local restaurants takes work. “It takes about 4,000 beans to make 1 pound of coffee. Each cherry on a coffee tree has two beans,” Walter said, explaining that coffee is actually a cherry seed handpicked. Though he strives for his product to only be fair-trade,

it’s not always the most cost-effective choice but he does monitor his suppliers closely. In business, after all, quality in the supply chain is critical to quality in the end product. The Cafe serves breakfast and lunch and is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day except Tuesday and Wednesday. They cater in the evening if they get requests. They close in January and re-open a few days before Valentine’s Day. “We use this time to rest,” Foster said.

Fiber Arts Times Five:

Fleece ’N Flax to reopen with expanded range By Jennifer Jackson

JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com

In 1972, Betty Green opened a shop at 51 Spring Street called Fleece ‘N Flax. For the next 4 decades, Green sold embroidery floss, tapestry wool, cross-stitch cloth and patterns across the wooden counters, reaching up to get stock from the rows of shelves behind her. Fans of needlepoint and cross-stitch flocked to Green’s store, which closed its doors when she passed away two years ago at the age of 87. Long-time customers will be pleased to know that a coalition of local fiber arts craftswomen are reopening the shop. While continuing to offer needlecraft supplies, they are expanding the scope to encompass knitting, weaving, rug-hooking and quilting under the name “The Shops at Fleece ‘N Flax.” “It’s one way to honor Betty, to keep the name,” said Debbie Davis. “We’ll also keep a lot of her work here.” Davis, a weaver who owns Red Scottie Fibers, is currently sharing space on Center Street with Michelle Taylor’s Little Bo Peep Yarn and Antiques. Her weaving business and the yarn and antique shop will move to the new location at the end of the year, along with Vicki Hardcastle’s rug-hooking business, Hardcastle Folk Art, and Glenna Renner’s quilting supplies. “We’re going to have a complete, onestop fiber shop,” Davis said. During the transition, Taylor and Davis will continue to have the Center Street shop open, and also have Fleece ‘N Flax open on Fridays and Saturdays. In addition to selling needlepoint supplies, they are offering some of the framed crossstitch and embroidery pieces that Green created for display samples during the decades she owned the shop. “Customers who knew Betty are coming in to buy a memento of her,” Davis said. Fleece ‘N Flax also has a large inventory of embroidery floss, along with tap-

estry wool and linen, damask, jute and Aida cloth for cross-stitching. Davis has been “canning” the skeins of Persian tapestry wool, she said, the colors glowing from the Mason jars on the shelves that line the walls. A retired educator, Davis was a customer at Fleece ‘N Flax even before she moved to Eureka Springs, she said, and has cross-stitch patterns from the shop on the walls of her home. “I love this shop,” she said. “This has been a dream come true to be in here.” Davis said that she and Taylor heard that Green’s spouse was interested in leasing or selling the Fleece ‘N Flax building, and contacted him. They are keeping the appearance of the main sales floor the same as it was, but are converting the kitchen workspace in back into a sitting area that will used for the twice-monthly knitting group. Downstairs, the lower level has a work area with a sink at one end. At the other, large daylight windows will provide natural light for weaving and other classes. In between is enough floor space to display antiques and floor looms. The new owners found lots of Green’s needlework on the lower level, Davis said, and brought it upstairs. They are selling some of Green’s work because of space limitations, but keeping some of it to display, especially pieces for which patterns are no longer available. “We are trying to keep Betty’s memory alive in this building,” Davis said. “For 40 years, she was there. People came to Eureka Springs just to come to her store.” Prior to the move, Taylor is reducing the inventory of antiques at Little Bo Peep Yarn by holding a sale. For more information, stop by the shop at 12 Center St. or call 479-981-0832. The KnitWits meet the first and third Tuesday at 10 a.m. to knit and crochet. The group will meet at Little Bo Peep through the end of the year, then at The Shops at Fleece ‘N Flax starting in January. Everyone is welcome.

Eureka! The catalyst for freedom and justice

hen government becomes bigger than the people, when it no longer serves those it represents — when it hurts those same people — it is by definition, tyrannical. Issues that involve the welfare of a community as a whole and could significantly affect generations to come — including but not limited to the current debate over the ordinance banning circuses from coming to Eureka — should be left solely to the citizens of Eureka to decide. A 90-year-old Florida activist who was busted twice for feeding the homeless outside vowed Sunday to continue his efforts despite a possible jail sentence. “We will continue as long as there is breath in my body,” Arnold Abbott told the Sun-Sentinel newspaper. A new city ordinance forbids anyone from feeding the homeless in public. On Friday, three members of a group called Food Not Bombs were busted for helping out the homeless at a Florida park. Nikki Rye, 25; a 17-year-old minor; and an unidentified third person were arrested by Fort Lauderdale police for violating the ordinance. “I was laughing. I thought, you know, this is a sick joke,” Rye told the Sun-Sentinel. “They can’t stop us from feeding people.” But they did. The value of an ideal, whether it be animal rights, freedom from fluoridation, or the right to unite as a same-sex couple, is only as solid as the platform on which it stands. If the fight for those ideals does not stand on Constitutional principles, then the platform, and subsequently the ideal, crumbles. In watching you all during the City Council meetings and art festivals, working with Laura Ponce on stories about her daughter’s murder, and getting to know many of you through my work since I arrived here from Maryland almost six months ago, I can honestly say that the citizens of Eureka do not just serve as sources for stories; they become catalysts for change. I thought I would find that when I covered Congress, but instead I found it in an Ozarks mountain town of 2,000 people.

We as a nation are seeing our liberties erode at an exceedingly rapid pace — at all levels of government — without our consent. The democratic process is being strangled — virtually cut at the jugular — and left to die a cold, hard death. That is why I believe the democratic process is just as vital in Eureka as it is in D.C. Sitting on the steps of the Supreme Court awaiting a verdict on birth control and Obamacare is just as important as sitting in a City Council meeting awaiting to hear if there’s a resolution on fluoride. All citizens should try their best to participate and be heard. Adolf Hitler said the best way to take control of a group of people is to “take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” Eli Weisel, who survived Hitler’s hell, said “the opposite of love is not hate, but rather indifference”. In Plato’s “Republic”, a new Spartan leader restored democracy and pardoned most of the Spartan crimes so Athens could get back to the business of democracy. After all, a functional democracy was just as vital to business then as it is now. Athenians preserved their democratic customs, but fear loomed in their hearts and minds that a democratic way of life could be stolen the same way the oligarchs took hold of Greece — beginning with one utterance of ambiguous thought, one public speech denouncing “democratic” Athenian ideals over personal liberties — or one expression of defiance in the name of personal liberty. By questioning authority, Socrates showed that people must take a consistent stand against injustice, or in Martin Luther King Jr’s words: “Have the vision to see that injustice must be rooted out by strong, persistent, and determined action” often rooted in a belief of a being greater than oneself. Much like See Eureka, page 17

Citizen of the Week This week’s Citizen of the Week, Keith “Snuffy” Ketchum, was nominated by Dianne Stull. Who would have thought a corporate retiree would fit into our “UN-corporated” town so easily? Yet he fits like a glove. Spending countless hours at the food pantry, benefits for kids, behind the scenes with our annual Blues Festival, he’s able to put even more into worship suppers at St. James Episcopal Church, where he’s grateful for the fellowship. This friend enjoys yurt camping and drinking cheap beer at Chelsea’s on Friday evenings with his buddies. Thanks for being there buddy! This town just loves “Snuffy”.

Issues with fire

Thanks for treasure hunt help

Editor, I have heard very little concern about that huge, and obvious arson pallet wood fire at the King’s River on Highway 62. I called ADEQ and spoke with them about it. They told me that they would send up an inspector. As I mentioned, I knew this pile would be set on fire. And, it is still burning. There are two issues and possible outcomes: Air Quality: While Interpack claims the wood was not treated, I would like to see proof. Our Quorum Court members in the Easter District have been rather quiet about this. Surely, the people living in the surrounding area, especially in the trailer park below the site are affected. COPD is a big problem already with the amount of smoker’s and the effect of secondhand smoke. Why is Interpack allowing this fire to burn continuously? Water Quality: The pH of wood ash can be up to about 11, which is very caustic. When the ash is moved down towards the King’s River, if it is not already, it will no doubt kill fish. Perhaps the QC people don’t care. After all, the water is just going to end up in Missouri anyway. Marti Suchsland Eureka Springs, AR

A Structure of Truth and Love: Church Building Holds Memories on Mountain

By Jennifer Jackson

JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com

Last year before Thanksgiving, the three remaining members of Eureka Springs’ First Church of Christ, Scientist faced a dilemma. For the past decade, they watched as members moved away, leaving less than a handful to keep the church going. Marsha Havens, owner of Eureka Thyme gallery, served as organist and one of the two readers. She and Pat Quinn read the lessons to an audience of one. With Thanksgiving coming, they had to decide whether or not to have a service on Thanksgiving Day. It turned out to be the last Christian Science service in the church building, which has stood for nearly a century on the top of Mountain Street. Havens was pleased with their decision. “There were six people there, including a man we had never seen before,” Havens said. “He said he had been driving past that morning and seen the sign that there was a service. He remembered going to the Christian Science church as a child and decided to stop in. He spoke about what the church meant to him, and was in tears before he finished,” she said. Havens understands what the man felt, having been a part of Eureka Springs’ Church of Christ, Scientist for 50 years. For the past several years, she has worked single-handedly to keep the church open with the goal of celebrating the building’s Centennial in 2014. But at the end of last

year, she had to inform the Mother Church in Boston that the doors were closing. “I wanted to keep it going for another 100 years,” Havens said. “It’s a very emotional issue. I just breaks my heart.” The Italianate-style building, which is the National Registry of Historic Places, was built in July of 1914. Inside, the decor is arts and crafts, with stained glass windows that were brought from Germany and curved wooden pews that are irreplaceable, Havens said.

the new building in July of 1915. Havens, who grew up in rural Carroll County, started attending with her parents in 1962, when she was 8 years old. At age 11, she was playing the organ for services. She continued until she was 16 and went off to college, where she cut loose a little. “I wanted to smoke and drink,” Havens said, noting that Christian Scientists do not drink alcohol or coffee. She resumed playing the organ for Sunday services in 1992, and in 1995, moved to Eureka Springs. The previous year, her 6-year-old son had been diagnosed with a combination of connective tissue diseases, including scleroderma. After trying conventional medicine, Havens started researching holistic medicine and became a practicing Christian Scientist. Now 27, Aaron attended The Principia, a Christian Science school in St. Louis, played soccer in college and lives in Park City, Utah, where he works for a television station and is a skier. Havens said though membership in the Christian Science Society in Eureka was never large – there were about a

dozen members when her father was involved – the lectures and programs held at the church drew large numbers of locals. One of her favorite memories is of three Buddhist monks chanting under the words “God is Love” on the front wall of the meeting room, with every pew filled. Christian Science services consist of elected readers, reading lessons from the Bible and related passages from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the founder. There are no rituals, no sacraments, no weddings, no funerals. “It’s true divine metaphysics,” Havens said. In 2005, she and Jim Young started the Eureka Springs Metaphysical Society, with the goal of demystifying Christian Science and inviting people into the building. Infinite Way meetings were also held after the services for a while, Havens said. About a year ago, a group now called the Mountain Street Spiritual Group adopted the downstairs rooms, investing in new carpeting and other maintenance and repairs. Last week, a couple from Tulsa that had attended Metaphysical Society meetings stopped by, Havens said, and volunteered to repair the leak in one corner of the foyer roof for free. The man, who had been hired to do repairs in the past, told Havens it was their way of paying back. The historic church building at 68 Mountain Street may continue to be a place of worship. A meeting to discuss its use as a multi-denominational worship center will be held on Wed., Nov. 19, at 7 p.m. on the lower level of the church. If there is enough interest, a non-profit group could be formed, with the idea of the building being used by religious groups that do not have a place to meet in Eureka Springs. “Mary Baker Eddy defined a church as a structure of Truth and Love,” Havens said. “That is how I’ve always thought of this building. That is what I hope it will continue to be.”

Still Meeting:

Methodists Celebrate 135 years in Eureka By Jennifer Jackson

JJackson.Citizen@gmail.com

In November 1879, a Methodist station pastor conducted a church service in Eureka Springs. It was the first Christian service by an organized religious group in the then-fledgeling town, which was founded only four months earlier. Last Sunday, members of First United Methodist Church celebrated its 135th anniversary with a potluck and overview of the church’s history by June Westphal. “It’s exactly the amount of history of Eureka Springs,” Westphal said of the church’s story. For the first nine years, the congregation gathered in a little building adjacent to a house on Eureka Street, Westphal said. The first official church structure was built at the top of Pine Street. At the turn of the century, the congregation, which was affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal Church South, decided to build a larger church on Spring Street. The former Methodist church on Elk Street, now used by the Unitarians, was affiliated with the northern branch of the Methodist Church. That congregation dissolved in 1916. That First Methodist survived to celebrate its centennial is due to the character of its members, Westphal said, who were loyal to the Methodist tradition and wanted to move it a little farther

into the wilderness, she said. But it is the last 35 years that have really been astonishing, she said. That’s because the congregation has continued to change with the times, welcoming three female ministers in the 1990s. But the big leap of faith came in 2000, when the congregation recognized that the church building on Spring Street had no room for growth. Stepping out in faith, they committed to building a new church on Highway 23 South and sold the old one. “Dee Dee Autry had been appointed in June,” Westphal said, referring to the church’s third female pastor. “Six weeks later, she led the congregation through the deconsecration service of the Spring

Street building. We all walked down the street with the paraments and other articles of worship.” For the next six months, the Methodists were a church without a house, Westphal said. The first service in the new church was held on Easter Sunday, 2001, with the bishop coming to dedicate the new building on June 1. What Westphal, a long-time church member, finds amazing: in a time of great social change, the small congregation understood that their lives were changing fast, but believed that they could keep be a

part of it, and keep the church growing. “We are the few, we are the faithful,” Westphal said. First UMC now averages more than 100 people at Sunday services, which are at 10 a.m. Coffee and refreshments in the fellowship hall prior to the service. All are welcome. First UMC is part of the Reconciling Ministry Network of churches committed to the goal of transforming the United Methodist church and the world by manifesting Christ’s love to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

Socrates, King used peaceful civil disobedience in the form of “direct action” to evoke change and differed from Saul Alinsky’s “take-no-prisoners” community organizing tactics. It is King’s style of civil disobedience we are seeing people like Abbott and Rye exhibit in towns throughout the U.S. I agree with Socrates in Plato’s “Republic” that a life well-examined is a purposeful life. The difficulty is knowing when to stop examining, and when to begin listening. It is in those moments, I try to strike a balance between a life well-examined, and a life well-inspired. Sometimes true understanding comes from a moment of synergy between both the mind and spirit. I can bet that Abbot and the people he served experienced that synergy and so did Rachel Brix when she took a stand for animals and against the circus coming to Eureka. Now let us see what the voters of Eureka decide on allowing the circus to come to town.

The Natural Way Creatine gets a bad rap

his is the second writing on the unsung heroes in the supplement world. My next few colJim Fain umns will focus on these well known but mostly forgotten wall flowers. Just like in our lives there are those that are steadfast and quiet. We know they are there but are so humble it is very easy to just not see them and take them for granted. In my first column I put the spotlight on Echinacea, Royal Jelly, Bee Pollen and Brewer’s Yeast. This second installment will be on the wind beneath the wings supplements Creatine, Homocysteine Support and Niacinamide. Creatine supplementation is often thought of as a way to enhance muscle strength and body building. In fact, it did get a bad rap about a decade ago when three people used it on a very hot day to enhance their exercise routine. Apparently, for them this was fatal as they stayed too long in the heat, did too much exercise which dehydrated them from sweating. The excess fluid loss was deadly causing renal failure. The creatine was not the problem but the story stuck, incorrectly. In fact, through PubMed I found studies showing benefit for reducing muscle loss or perhaps preventing it in people with muscle wasting disease such as muscular dystrophy and Lou Gehrig’s disease. Some data exists for improving brain function and memory. It seems proper to me to not choose this supplement if there is kidney function problems, though. Homocysteine support is a formula product made up of vitamin B6, B12, Folic acid and Trimethylglycine (TMG). Most health professionals accept that if the blood marker homocystiene is elevated that cardiovascular problems may be near at hand. Lowering homocystiene levels is a good thing to do as is lowering internal inflammation found in your arteries. TMG is derived from beets and along with the vitamins listed works together to get better numbers on blood tests. PubMed has no shortage of published studies. I found one that showed TMG even reduced inflammation from colitis which then was thought to reduce risk of colon cancer. To me if you have a chronic ailment having a C-reactive protein and homocystiene lab test done is a good idea. Finally, niacinamide gets a little limelight. This is in the B vitamin family but is not niacin. There is not flushing of the skin or discomfort associated with swallowing 500mg/day, the usual amount suggested. Dosing above 3000mg/day could cause troubles in some people See Fain, page 22

Wisecrack Zodiac ARIES: Lost love may be forever, but the lost remote is still waiting for you behind the second couch cushion to the right. Make its day by playing an Air Supply song when you dramatically fling the cushion aside and embrace it. TAURUS: Of course you’re busy and stressed, but take a hint when the kids say your hair looks just like the fur on that dead chipmunk the cat brought in this morning. Make the extra effort today, and you’ll have more on your hands than a recently deceased chipmunk. GEMINI: If you made a grab toward the brass ring right now, you’d pull several muscles and end up with sprained thighs. Take a yoga class and do some stretches because your chance at success is just around the bend, and flexibility counts. CANCER: You’ll rock the office on Wednesday when your phone glitches and starts playing the Sex Pistols at full volume during a business meeting. Roll with it by doing an interpretive dance of the final quarter estimations, then lick the client across his forehead. It’s not like you’re getting a holiday bonus anyway. LEO: The first step toward success is confidence. The second is having dirt on everyone else in the room. Keep those cross-dressing goat videos safe, and you’ll be zooming up the ladder. VIRGO: You crackle when you move, and your eyes are rolling like ping pong balls. Take some time to relax and de-stress before you end up wearing only an American cheese loincloth and singing “Shake It Off” in the grocery store deli aisle. LIBRA: If life is a parade, you’re the one following up the horses with a shovel and a baggie. Pass the doo-doo duty to someone else, because you’ll finally have a chance to ride in the prom queen’s convertible on Saturday. SCORPIO: It’s fine to let your freak flag fly, just watch yourself if it snaps in a fierce wind. That can hurt more than a dozen wet towels aimed at your butt. Unless, of course, you’re into that.

SAGITTARIUS: On Friday, your car won’t start, you’ll be late to work and you’ll forget your lunch, but it’s okay because that actor you like finally notices you on Twitter. CAPRICORN: Most opportunities knock, but this one tosses pebbles at your window until it wakes you up and makes you look outside. It has enthusiasm, but ask it to meet your dad first before you grab it and run. AQUARIUS: The secret word for

Thursday is “mango.” Don’t worry, you’ll know when to use it, especially if you’re dating a Scorpio. PISCES: It’s time to change gears, so don’t panic if shifting into fourth sounds a little rough. You just need to blow a few cobwebs out of your personal engine. Answers on page 21

IPFD Chili Cook-Off

The Inspiration Point Fire Department (IPFD) 2nd Annual Chili Cook-off and Cornbread Contest was held Saturday evening at the station along hwy 62W. 100+ turned out to taste the 12 various chilies being offered – including venison, pork, chicken and shredded beef to name a few. There were seven different cornbread offerings also, including a perplexingly blue-hued selection. The event raised $1,100 to help the department in upcoming equipment acquisitions.

IPFD members and various chefs congregate closely for a quick photograph amid their dishes.

IPFD Chief Ed Thompson calculates the judges’ votes.

Ilene Powell took 1st Place this year for her sultry chili dish and Crystal Ursin took 1st Place for her blue-hued cornbread.

The judges for the evening: Justice of the Peace-Elect Chuck Olson, Simply Scrumptious owner Charleene McCaine and Angler’s Grill owner Steve Jesanis.
