Ozarks At Large

October is American Archives Month. This will be noted tomorrow afternoon at three inside Mullins Library. Keynote speakers for this event devoted to history will be a pair of teenage historians. Sarah and Emma Bailin attend Central High in Little Rock and have been making short documentaries since they were eleven years old. They'll screen their film "Return to Sender" about the 1980 Cuban refugee crisis at Fort Chaffee and how that event changed Arkansas' political landscape.
On this edition of Ozarks at Large we report on how you can see your ballot before Election Day, why bumble bees make such fascinating research subjects, what to expect from this week's gathering at the University of Arkansas devoted to breast cancer research and more.It is hard to imagine Eugene Sargent's mind or his hands ever rest. He is a sculptor and works with wood, metals, cement, and other materials. He creates furniture that is art and art that is furniture. He paints and draws. He writes. He makes computer cases out of aluminum and flashlights out of old tent poles. So it makes sense that his studio near Lincoln in Washington County is a pretty astonishing creation, too.
The final poll conducted by talkbusiness.net and Hendrix College before next week's election has been completed. Roby gives us the results.
