Ozarks At Large
The FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) Roadshow is coming to the area next week, and Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel approves another proposed ballot measure and rejects two for next year's election.
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, FEMA and the American Red Cross are familiar names when it comes to emergency relief organizations, but have you heard of the Mennonite Disaster Team? We meet the Ozarks Mennonite team, as well as the brothers behind Two Brothers Canoes in the latest installment of our "Locally Made" series.
An American Girl fashion show takes place at the Arts Center of the Ozarks, one of only a few non-profits are chosen nationally for the fundraiser. Becca Martin Brown has more.
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.
The Carroll County Mennonite Disaster Service Search and Rescue Team (MDS-SAR) is one of the first of its kind in the nation, and it's now fully embedded with secular emergency crews. We meet up with the team leader at a tri-county training session outside of Huntsville, and speak with MDS executive director about their religious tradition.U.S. Senator John Boozman calls for an international solution to remove and destroy chemical weapons in Syria with hopes for Russian President Vladimir Putin's plan to come through. And, the Department of Human Services plans to release HIV test results of three Pea Ridge students, even though one organization is suing DHS for what they deem a breach of patient privacy.
Ahead on Ozarks at Large, we continue our examination of the 2014 election season with a conversation with another candidate for state office. John Burkhalter is, so far, the lone Democrat seeking the Lt. Governor's office. He'll talk to Roby Brock about why he's running. Plus, a chance to step inside Son's Chapel. The structure is on the National Historic Register and is still a hub of community activity. And Samantha Fish will be in Fayetteville for the Bikes, Blues and BBQ festival this week…before she performs at George’s Majestic Lounge, she plays inside our Firmin-Garner Performance Studio.
Fall is always a busy time here and we have an eclectic list of items that prove this autumn is no exception.
