Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, the four men running for Arkansas governor weigh in on what they might do with the Private Option expansion if elected. And we hear from people trying to stop illegal dumping in counties across the region as well. We also hear comment from a ribbon cutting last night for a new stretch of trail in Fayetteville that will allow easier access to Mount Kessler and more.

Nine out of ten gay youth report verbal, sexual, or physical harassment at school. But now gay high school students are taking a stand by organizing, with their straight allies, Gay-Straight Alliances. Nearly 40 GSA clubs have been sanctioned by school districts across Arkansas but not without some resistance. We talk with students, as well as state, and national advocates.
