WEDNESDAY, November 27

A Hot Springs man has been arrested for the murder of police dispatcher Dawna Natzke.

You may recall Natzke was killed over the holidays in 2011. Her boyfriend at the time, Kevin Duck, had been a person of interest, but apparently there was a break in the case.

Investigators got a tip that Duck was in Colorado. The sheriff's office in Kit Carson county picked him up last night without incident. Police aren't releasing any other information at this hour.

At the University of Arkansas' suggestion, the War Memorial Stadium Board has agreed to a change in its contract with the Razorback football program.

On the one hand, the new contract is two years longer with a run until 2018. On the other, the number of Little Rock games will drop from two games a year to one. 

Next year's Little Rock game is set for October 18th against Georgia.

The weather may be cancelling flights and readjusting travel plans for this weekend, but it hasn't deterred shoppers camping out for Black Friday deals.

The world's largest retailer, Walmart, is revamping their approach to the shopping season. The store is issuing wrist bands for certain items, like the new X-box and Playstation consoles, so customers won't have to stand in line.

The Reverend Hezekiah Stewart is looking for a few good cooks. They have an ambitious goal to feed the hungry this Thanksgiving, but those turkeys don't cook themselves.

If you can pick up a turkey or two, cook it and bring it back for The Watershed, they will distribute to people in the community tomorrow. The Watershed's address is 37-0-1 Springer Boulevard. Their phone number is 501-378-0176. 

If you're not much of a cook, but would rather write out a check, whatever you donate to The Watershed is tax deductible.

It will be cold today. We'll only get up to 40 degrees. Overnight lows in the mid 20s. Clear skies for your holiday weekend, but it'll be a pretty chilly and windy Thanksgiving.
