Ozarks At Large

Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Tuesday, March 18, 2014
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, how education and employment are more connected than ever in Arkansas. We have a report on yesterday's Career and Technology Education summit in northwest Arkansas. Plus, our technology ambassador Tyrel Denison breaks down some of the new technology that was on display at South-by-Southwest. And, a new report looks at children's healthcare issues in Arkansas.
Prior to playing the Ozark Mountain Music Fest, the band SX Rex stopped by our studio and played a few songs. Here is their original song "Am I Coming Through?".
Here is the list of clips for our Denver/Colorado montage. We'll have Seattle next week. 1. Ho Hey by Colorado-based band The Lumineers. 2. Robin Williams, as Mork, introduces himself to Boulder, Colorado (where the show was set). 3. Earth, Wind and Fire (with three Colorado natives) sings Boogie Wonderland. 4. Jack Nicholson crashes through in The Shining (at a Colorado hotel). 5. Voices from South Park, Colorado. 6. The song Colorado, My Home from the Broadway musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown. 7. Joan Collins and Linda Evans meet for the first time on the Denver-based soap opera Dynasty. 8. A 1970s commercial for Coors. 9. Colorado native Ralph Edwards surprises yet another celebrity on This is Your Life. 10. John Denver with Rocky Mountain High. Of course. Apologies to: Lon Chaney and Douglas Fairbanks (how do you get silent stars into an audio montage?) and Hattie McDaniel.
Legislators yesterday heard about the progress of the Private Option rollout in the state, while Governor Mike Beebe offered his thoughts on consequences to the state's budget if the legislature decides to gut the program in the coming fiscal session.
