The Arkan Not So Daily News (Art Section)
The Arkan School for the Education of Those Who Wish to Learn (ASETWWL), offering a quality education to anyone willing student from pre-kindergarten to post graduate (assuming you wish to do your post graduate work in Myrmecology, Gynecology, or Pre-Columbian history) is opening its mostly unused grounds to a Doctor Who themed art exhibit featuring the work of various artist and styles sponsored by an anonymous patron. The Exhibit will be open to the public starting this upcoming Saturday and will run until the school needs those rooms or the artists want their stuff back. The empty classrooms of the math wing are featuring portraits of The Doctor, his companions and the various races and species featured in the BBC show throughout the years. The Fine Arts wing houses paintings of the TARDIS in various styles, the library has a full section of fan fiction and the gardens are home to a wide variety of sculpture, the crown jewel of which, in this reporter’s humble opinion, is a life size replica of the blue police box covered in different sized plastic gems, glitter, and sequins. Oh how it sparkled in the late afternoon light as if calling me to travel to the great unknown worlds of the universe…

On the weekends The Old Lady from the town library will be selling her famous muffins and fruit pies with good hot coffee just next to the entrance to the gymnasium, which since we don’t really have any sports teams will be filled with a selection of art dedicated solely to Tentwo and Rose Tyler’s life together.

The Mayor of Arkan, Tiny Cooper,  is proud to announce that he has submitted the town as a possible alternative location to host the 2014 Olympics do to the more recent, but honestly not super surprising, human rights violations in Russia. He was quoted as saying “Yeah I really don’t know much about the Olympics, sports are not really my thing, but I heard somewhere that it was expected to bring in a ton of money because people would come to watch it and its sponsored by big companies like Coca-Cola so if they were just going to be giving out money why not? we could use some extra funds in the budget.” He then proceeded to ignore everyone who attempted to explain to him the costs of hosting such an event by telling them he really "didn’t get sports."

Brain from theIHOP says he has noticed an uptick in business after the Mayor of Arkan Tiny Cooper announced that he put the town’s name in as a potential host of the 2014 Olympics Rather than the usual 1 or 2 locals and maybe 5 lost and confused truck drivers or the occasional exhausted road tripper he as seen in fact 7 lost and confused truck drivers and at least 1 car full of exhausted road trippers. He credits this increase in business to the clear thinking and brilliant planning of our obviously competent Mayor and that he for one was glad he voted for him. His waffle making assistants did not have much to add on the matter. When questioning other store owners and business people to see if they too saw an increase in business onlythe Old Lady was available for questioning and she seemed uncertain whether she was seeing more people or just the same people more often.

A reminder to all residence we are approaching the Full Moon which will be on September 19th. As usual the Moon viewing pond will materialize somewhere on the grounds of The Arkan School for the Education of Those Who Wish to Learn, which will once again be hosting the Moon viewing Tea party. However this one will be slightly different than usual as it is the first full moon of the new school year and as such will host the annual house pride themed tea party. (As a reminder you may come dressed in such a way to so show your pride for either your ASETWWL house or your Hogwarts house) It is also however, Talk Like a Pirate Day which means, My sources tell me, the pond will be slightly larger than usual and will play host to a ship of ghost pirates who, if offered politely, will join us for the moon viewing tea. It is HIGHLY recommended that no one comment on the ghost captain beard, or talk about Blackbeard, or beards in general, or mustaches. In fact if you plan to attend this moon viewing tea it is recommended that you not mention facial hair at all and if you have any to shave it before coming.
