Greenland

Welcome to the 479 Show, where we recap the week in Northwest Arkansas.

I'm 479 Media News Director Dave Schoen, and coming up on this episode, the government business features the update on the wastewater system project in Greenland, a more successful rezoning request in Bentonville, grant funding for transportation projects in Rogers, the endorsement of a tax-backed program by Springdale to allow Tyson Foods to convert its newly acquired Cargill Turkey Plant on Randlewabi Lane for Chicken and Washington County Judge Patrick Deakins discussing reforms in the purchasing and disposal of county assets to limit fraud which he hoped might be adopted elsewhere in the state.

It was fraud week in the courts as a couple of high-profile swindlers were presented their rewards for their fundraising efforts.

The business news featured third-quarter earnings for J.B. Hunt Transport and the same old same old from America's Car Mart.

Rain would arrive in the middle of the week, but not before Benton and Washington counties would reinstate their bans on outdoor burning due to the windy and dry conditions at the start of the week.

The rain would arrive overnight, October 13th and 14th, and bring in cooler temperatures over the weekend.

The government business would start in Greenland October 12th, with the City Council hearing an update from Mayor Jim Renfro on its wastewater system.

Wastewater system rehabilitation.

Um, we got a lot to talk about.

It was great to get out to Greenland last week.

Got to see y'all play Lavaca.

Uh, they jumped on you early, JP.

Uh, and you, you're right.

Yeah, JB, last week, glad y'all guys was able to get out and, and, uh, we just didn't represent, man.

We didn't, we didn't play Greenland football, you know? Um, you know, things just didn't turn out right from the kickoff.

Gave a big run on the kickoff and next thing you know, they in a touchdown.

[upbeat music]

Just great to get out yesterday, do some high school football in Greenland.

Lavaca looking awesome.

Golden Arrows might fly all the way to their target of the state championship game.

[upbeat music]

Be a game of the week, Friday Night Lights, NWA, and a River Valley clash as the Lavaca Golden Arrows try to hit their target here at Greenland High School against the Pirates in Northwest Arkansas tonight.

Beautiful weather.

First drive of the game, left to right, go the Arrows.

So 7-0.

Lavaca 4 and 2 on the season.

Greenland 4 and 1.

Both of these teams have played very, very well this year in the first half of the campaign.

Yeah.

Unless you wanna change it like they did Greenland.

You know, "Hey, we want everybody to come."

Right.

Uh, you know, let's, let's call it Greenland.

Uh, but I mean it's just, uh, uh, they, they were just a little bit different in, in their-

Well, and you, and you think-

Get ready for the Jermaine Petty Bowl this weekend.

Lavacca at Greenland, a couple of very improved three A teams, and so repping that one coming up on Friday night and looking forward to it there in Pirate Town, USA.

Benville West at Harbor coming up next weekend.

We still got the Battle of the Dogs, Springdale and Fayetteville.

And you just the show must go on.

I mean, you just keep rolling.

How about, um, this week? Lavaca at Greenland coming up next for us on the high school football front.

Just for those of you keeping score at home.

dramatic changes, no.

Locally, though, if we look at Greenland High School, again, not, you know, as well known as some of the Fayetteville or Bentonville schools.

Three years ago, they had...

C.

Yes,

exactly.

I hope someone, I'm sure someone will, will talk to the Greenland High School teachers, the elementary school teachers in Mount Ida.

How do they feel about that? I mean, enough resources? Did they, you know...
