Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 1st of October.
Good morning, Bentonville.
🏘️ Community
The City of Bentonville is hosting a shredding and electronics recycling event for residents on Tuesday, October 14 in the parking lot behind Fire Station 1 at 800 SW A St., where only those with a city address may take part — valid ID is needed.
Residents must register in advance — appointments will be confirmed within 48 business hours — for a 30-minute drop off window between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
🏈 Sports
After Saturday’s open date, interim coach Bobby Petrino said the Razorbacks will follow a nine-week plan to boost an offense that scored only 13 points against No. 22 Notre Dame and to fix a shaky defense after key staff changes.
He added that tougher games against ranked teams—such as Tennessee, Texas A&M, LSU, Texas, and Missouri—will test the changes and help the players improve.
Defensive lineman Ari Slocum reopened his recruitment on Tuesday after having been committed to Arkansas since January — his move came after former coach Deke Adams was fired on Monday.
He is the fifth defensive pledge to reverse his decision as Arkansas now holds 18 commitments for the 2026 class.
