Good morning, Rogers.

Residents in Northwest Arkansas are watching the possible ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and are hopeful that a pause in the conflict will bring the release of hostages and prisoners — Rabbi Jacob Adler and Ted Swedenburg said the deal is a first step toward peace after two years of fighting. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with his government today to approve the initial phase of the agreement.

On Thursday, Washington County planners examined two decades of fast growth and heard expert Jeff Hawkins call for using regular zoning in unincorporated areas to better control future development.

County attorney Brian Lester and Judge Patrick Deakins warned that without clear rules the area could become a 'Wild West'—no changes were made at the meeting.

On Thursday, a divided legislative committee recommended that the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee reverse its July decision — which halted funding for cities that had not filed water and sewer audit reports — by notifying state Treasurer John Thurston’s office.

A reversal of the decision will let affected cities receive funds once they submit their reports on time.

The Mounties are returning home today to face an improved Wolverines team — a key contest in the 7A-West Conference as they aim to challenge the long-time winners Bentonville and Fayetteville.
