Neph Kid, It's whoever, not whomever. I don't understand what you are trying to say. Please explain why making someone Citizen of the

Week would make him/her suck badly.

Where's Tommy Shanks when you need him? But whomever is elected; don't make them Citizen of The Week or award them the Nobel Peace Prize and then maybe they won't SUCK so badly.

TOURISTS OF THE WEEK

Karen Getzel and Jessie

You might not think Eureka Springs would be a contender when compared to trips on the Amazon River, the Seti in Nepal, and the glorious Nile; but former resident Karen Getzel always comes back.

"Eureka's like a 'womb' for me," she claims. Karen spent her Eureka time camping, horseback riding, getting a massage and riding the train. "It was very relaxing," said the world traveler, "unlike almost getting drowned in the Zambezi River."

Jessie doesn't like wet fur, so didn't accompany Karen on any of her river trips; but he did make the trek to Mt. Everest and could bear-ly wait to see the Passion Play in Eureka Springs.

Poll
What do you think of the lineup for the mayoral election and city council?
 Wow! What a great bunch to choose from!
 I don't see anyone I'd vote for.
 I like that there's so many different backgrounds.
 This will be a very interesting administration no matter what.
 Can we still write in Louise Berry?
