Ozarks At Large

Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Thursday, March 27, 2014
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, Spring is officially here, and warmer weather will soon bring with it insects like mayflies and damsel flies out and about. But before those bugs mature, they spend their young lives as nymphs in local waterways. We visit a local creek to see what is swimming and crawling beneath the surface. Plus, a conversation with another one of this year's gubernatorial candidates, Mike Ross. The Democrat has aspirations that stretch beyond this November. And back-handsprings and lateral bars: what it takes to be one of the best gymnastics programs in the country. We spend some time with the Arkansas Razorback Gymbacks, who will host this year's national championship regionals this week.
For the latest installment in our series about locally-made things, we travel to Avoca to meet one of the two brothers responsible for Two Brothers Canoe, Inc.
Auditions for the SoNA chorale singers, a panel discussion on racial diversity, the annual Mule Jump at Pea Ridge and more in this morning's notes.
We step inside Son's Chapel near Goshen to find that the women's group that was started over 90 years ago to raise funds for construction, is still hard at work maintaining the building.
Here are our clips devoted to quiet, whispering and all manners of silence for our Sunday montage: 1. Bjork sings It's Oh So Quiet. 2. Marlon Brando, as Superman's father, explains the Fortress of Solitude in Superman II. 3. The Five Satins celebrate in The Still of the Night. 4. The members of The Breakfast Club spend time in a library. 5. Another library: George Peppard is shushed at the New York City Library just before he tells Audrey Hepburn he loves her in Breakfast at Tiffany's. 6. Miles Davis' In a Silent Way. 7. King Arthur tells Dennis the Constitutional Peasant to be quiet in Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail. 8. The Ink Spots sign about The Whispering Grass. 9. John Wayne arrives in Ireland in the opening of The Quiet Man. 10. Simon and Garfunkel, of course. Apologies to: John Cage, Bertolt Brecht and every version of Silent Night. Maybe next time.
Becca Martin Brown from Northwest Arkansas Newspapers tells us about one of her favorite restaurants in Goshen.
