Ozarks At Large


Senator Pryor and Congressman Cotton visited acres of idle pipeline in Central Arkansas yesterday, and they both issued renewed calls to approve the Keystone XL. Plus, several roadways in the area are closed, either for bridge inspection or condemnation.


Governor Mike Beebe has joined other governors in a call on Congress to forgo certain cuts to the National Guard. And although three Arkansas counties were issuing marriage certificates this morning to same-sex couples, others were not and instead are waiting on a ruling from the state Supreme Court.

Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, the National Veterans Golden Age Games are set to take over Fayetteville and the region this weekend; we speak with one 79-year-old Vietnam veteran who hopes to win in his competitions, and we speak with an Arkansas elder who decided to obtain his GED many, many years after his high school years had passed. Plus, while many eyes are on the happenings at the World Cup, we attend a sports match of a different nature, polo, in Bentonville.
The debate on congressional districts refuses to die; plus, a celebration at Fort Chaffee Barbershop Museum.
