Ozarks At Large

Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Thursday, August 8, 2013
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks: Tontitown is in the middle of its 115th grape Festival. A lot of chickens, a lot of spaghetti and a lot of rolls are coming out of the parish hall kitchen. Plus Brandan O'Connell visits with me at the spot of some of his greatest inspiration or art: the aisles of Wal-Mart. And in just a few minutes we catch up with Roby Brock as he begins Campaign 2014 coverage, more than a year before election day. Yesterday he spent a day with Congressman Tom Cotton as he launches his campaign bid against Senator Mark Pryor. Today Roby is traveling with the senator.
A new art gallery, dedicated to showing controversial and confrontational works, will open this month. We meet the curators at the new Bottle Rocket gallery.

It is never too early or too late to start thinking about retirement. Ozarks at Large's Christina Thomas speaks with Dr. Craig Rennie, managing director of the Garrison Financial Institute, about the Three Things to Know about saving for retirement.
Becca Martin Brown gives us some idea of what to do this week, whether along with or in spite of the motorcycles, including an air show.
Here is a list of out clips celebrating swashbucklers, buccaneers and pirates: 1. A young Kevin Kline sings on the 1980 cast recording of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance. 2. A pirate creates Cinnamon Crunch for Captain Crunch. 3. The song, Yo Ho Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me that was/is heard in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. 4.Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow as heard in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. 5. An animated Captain Hook threatens Peter Pan in the Disney classic. 6. Jimmy Buffett considers growing older in his song A Pirate Looks at Forty. 7. Spongebob Squarepants, Patrick and their nemesis The Flying Dutchman. 8. Norah Jones' Chasing Pirates. 9. Bill Mazeroski ends the 1960 World Series (take THAT, Yankees). Only one of two home runs to end a World Series. 10. Robert Newton as Long John Silver in the 1950 version of Treasure Island. Four our money, the best talk-like-a-pirate in pirate movie history. Apologies to: Arky Vaughan, Roberto Clemente, Doc Ellis, Willie Stargell, Johnny Ray, Jeff King, Hamlet's Danish pirates, all manner of guys with a name of (color)beard, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and radio stations at sea. Maybe next time....
