It s summer and things are getting weird at Lake Prospect. The fictional Arkansas lake is the setting for "Cicadas Sing of Summer Graves," the hard-to-put-down debut novel from Quinn Connor that mixes Southern Gothic, magic realism, ghosts and romance to tell the story of Cassie, Lark and June, three young women with ties to the lake and its gruesome secrets.
Entergy Arkansas has granted the city of Hot Springs an easement to put its Lake Ouachita raw waterline across Glazypeau Creek, one of several easements the city needs to gravity flow water to its new treatment plant.
The water rate increase the Hot Springs Board of Directors adopted last month to cover cost overruns on the Lake Ouachita water supply project influenced lump sum bonuses the board gave the city manager and city attorney, Mayor Pat McCabe said.
