Cowboy boots and a stonewashed denim dress? Just another day for Kim Bergel, whose short blonde bob seems to remain perfectly coiffed in even the most heated Eureka City Council meetings. But wait!

Best Place to Sneak a Smoke

If you have a temporary (I swear!) tobacco habit that you’d like to remain secret, may I recommend skulking in the parking lot behind the Mad River Rapids RV lot? It’s clean, offers free coffee inside, there’s a handy trash can in which to dispose of your butts (dispose of your butts!) and the chances of being caught in the act by a disapproving friend or family member is small. Or, you know, you could quit smoking. That, too.

Best Way to Quit Smoking

If you’re ready to put down the pack and breathe freely again, the American Cancer Society offers free smoking cessation classes in Eureka on the third Wednesday of the month. Taught by the inimitable, enthusiastic Lou Moerner, the classes have lots of great information, free quit-smoking kits and plenty of chocolate. Call ACS in advance to register: 442-2241.
