  • The Advertising and Promotion Commission approved a letter of intent to transfer the $1-a-year lease of the Walker Stone House to Ozark Folkways—so the Folk School can reopen as a community music space—after founder Bernice Hembree announced her departure. The commission voted 6-0 and will review a final lease contract on Sept. 22 with the lease scheduled to begin Oct. 1.  Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

CRIME NEWS

  • On Monday afternoon, false reports of an active shooter at Mullins Library left University of Arkansas students frightened as police arrived quickly but provided nearly two hours of silence—forcing many to rely on social media for updates. UAPD and FBI officials are reviewing the hoax while students say they deserve an apology for the poor communication.  4029 News
