Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Monday, August 5, 2013
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks. A Facebook-job-posting-a-day approach to getting people in the Fort Smith region who are looking for work. Work Fort Smith is taking a small, but consistent, path to connecting those seeking work to those seeking employees. We'll also review the past seven days in Arkansas politics and business with Roby Brock from Talk Business Arkansas and two approaches to solar power…including area high school students taking to a swimming pool to test their solar-powered boats. And Meredith Martin Moats continues her series on books about Arkansas with a review of a study of the man who brought electricity to the state, Harvey Couch.
Becca informs us how to watch the Miss Arkansas Pageant either in person in Hot Springs or online for a fee.
The summer band camps at the University of Arkansas not only have hundreds of young musicians, but also top professional talent to instruct and perform. Recently two of the visiting musicians, Mike Garson and Jim Walker, came to our studio.
Since the caves we've learned to avoid, at all cost, the stinkiest of Earth's creatures: the skunk. But one young Carroll County couple has bypassed all instinct to take abandoned and injured skunks into their home.
There will be a one-man band, a bicycle outing and art everywhere tomorrow night around downtown Bentonville.
The new president of Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock starts her new post, but it isn't her first time working at the hospital. The Arkansas Workers' Compensation Commission will close one of its offices in Northwest Arkansas. Arkansas' Congressional candidates report their fundraising totals for the second quarter of 2013. And lower sanitation rates take effect for Fort smith residents.
