Ahead on Ozarks: the approaching enrollment period for new Arkansas health care plans means many people in the state have questions about how they'll be affected. Roby Brock, from our content partner Talk Business Arkansas, seeks answers to some of the questions from three people close to the health-care issue. Plus theater returns in full force. No fewer than thirteen productions will be on area stages in the next month. We'll have a rundown and meet the young, earnest cast of the University of Arkansas’ Clean House…the first play of the U of A season. And how mammals in the University of Arkansas’ museum collection are being preserved.
Here is the list we'll call the "Congratulations Christina and Sam" montage: The Marvelettes sing Going to the Chapel. Luke and Laura get married on All My Children and live happily ever after. Just kidding, it was a soap opera. Billy Idol pumps his fist to White Wedding. Miss Piggy and Kermit come *this close* to marrying. The Fifth Dimension and Wedding Bell Blues. Steve Martin panics in the remake of the Father of the Bride. Fred Astaire dances on the ceiling in Royal Wedding. The ending of Four Weddings and a Funeral with Andie McDowell and Hugh Grant. Sarah Harmer sings Open Window (the Wedding Song). Best song with wedding in the title, by the way. Apologies to: Peter, Paul and Mary, Sex and the City (first movie), Wedding Crashers, Buddy Holly, and about one million other movies and songs. Maybe next time.
Members of the Arkansas Bar Association gathered in the state capitol yesterday to protest the influx of dark money, or out-of-state contributions from unknown sources and agendas, in the state's judicial elections. Plus, the USDA says that global climate change is having, and likely will continue to have an effect on agriculture in the country and in Arkansas.
