Ozarks At Large
Supporters of proposals involving Arkansas' minimum wage and regulation of alcohol sales say they have enough signatures to make it to the ballot in November.
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, what teeth can tell us about our ancestors. Also, how climate change is affecting the Marshall Islands.
Tony deBrum, Foreign Minister for the Republic of the Marshall Islands, is on a mission. He’s alerting the world on how his Pacific island nation is starting to submerge due to rising seas caused by climate change. And as witness to a decade of cold-war atmospheric nuclear bomb tests on the Marshalls, Minister deBrum is also calling for global nuclear disarmament. Several groups worked through the weekend to gather signatures for their respective ballot initiatives before the deadline to submit petitions today. Governor Beebe prepares to make his final foreign trade mission during his term in office, and Blanchard Springs Caverns in Stone County is the only cave owned and operated by the U.S. Forest Service that remains open despite a cave closure order aimed at preventing the spread of White Nose Syndrome.
