Good morning, Rogers.

5NEWS This Morning+ will add an extra hour of live local news on 5NEWS+—from 7–8 a.m. on weekdays starting July 21—to deliver more news, weather, and traffic updates for Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley.

Friends remember Kevin Nikel, known as Ivan Warsaw in the ring, as a devoted father and mentor who helped local children.

He was shot in the stomach on July 10 and later died in the hospital—friends now demand justice—and a tribute wrestling show is scheduled for Saturday at Rogers Convention Center with doors opening at 6 p.m. and the show starting at 7 p.m.

A man said he was robbed when he met with people to sell drugs—police arrested three individuals last week—officials said.

The state will auction tax-delinquent parcels in River Valley this month—one event on July 23 at 10 a.m. at the Fort Smith Convention Center and a second on July 24 at 10 a.m. at Arkansas Tech University’s Building 7 with registration starting at 9 a.m. at each location.

The Army Corps of Engineers is preparing for a busy boating season at Beaver Lake and urges everyone to wear life jackets, stay hydrated, and call 911 if needed.

Chief Park Ranger Landon Thurman said the July Fourth weekend was the busiest he had seen—Horseshoe Bend’s day use area is closed due to ongoing flooding and rising lake levels continue to affect campsites.

On Nov. 21, 2023, Darr caught a 13‐pound striper at Beaver Lake that put up a fight—his largest fly‐rod striper weighed 29 pounds and local fishing guide Jon Conklin said fishing remains fair to good for most species.
