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.
Two months after massive twisters shred portions of Franklin and Johnson Counties, we tour the impact zone and check on the status of FEMA assistance. To contact the Red Cross: www.redcross.org. For the Franklin County Department of Emergency Management: 479-667-4909. Click here to view a slideshow of photos from the tornado affected area.
Last week, Benton County received its first red flag burn ban of the summer. A burn ban has been in effect in Washington County since July 11th. To monitor the status of the burn ban in Washington County, visit www.co.washington.ar.us.
One Friday this summer, more than two dozen people spent the day participating in a writing marathon on Dickson Street in Fayetteville. To hear what four teachers think about some states doing away with the teaching of cursive writing, click here.
