In the several weeks I’ve been writing this column, I’ve mentioned a couple of times how important my bicycle figured into my childhood.

Are you a James Patterson fan? Bull Shoals Library (BSL) can keep you reading and listening for a long time. The cloud catalog lists 226 audio books, paperback and hardback books by this well-known author. They fill over four shelves.

State Highway 178 across Bull Shoals Dam from Bull Shoals to Lakeview was closed to traffic June 1, by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to deploy and remove equipment used to perform maintenance on the dam’s sluice gates and USACE coordinated the closure with emergency services.
