  Retirement planning always involves questions of cost. How much will it cost to live there? What are those costs? Today, let's break down some of these to make it easier to figure out if the cost of living inside Hot Springs Village is attractive enough for you to consider making your future home here. Let's begin with the monthly POA (Property Owners Association) assessments. These expenses are current as of 2025. $50.42 a month for a single lot (commonly called "unimproved assessment," which just means there are no utilities on the property $113.19 a month for a single lot with utilities (a lot with a house on it fits the bill; this is commonly called an "improved assessment") Next would be the cost of electricity. No gas is inside the Village, although some people have propane tanks servicing their house. Part of the Village is in Garland County, served by Entergy. We live in Saline County, the other county represented in the Village. Our electric provider is First Electric Coop. Our house is about 2,200 square feet, built in 2022, and has 10-foot ceilings. In the winter months, during the day, we keep our thermostat set to 69 and turn it down to 67 at night. In the summer months, we keep it around 74. Ceiling fans run year-round (yes, we change the direction of the fans to blow the warm air down in the winter and to circulate the air in the summer). Our typical monthly bill is about $150. Low months might run under $100, and high months (2 or 3 winter months) will be around $250 (or slightly higher). Then there's the water bill (pictured below is our most recent actual bill). Our water bill is issued every other month and covers a 2-month billing cycle. This expense is relatively stable, varying only by a few dollars each time UNLESS you're a heavy water user. My wife and I are empty nesters, so water usage doesn't vary much. Yes, we bathe daily (she takes baths, and I take only showers) and do laundry once a week. We usually run our dishwasher once a week, too. We have no irrigation for our yard (no need to water rocks). Everybody is charged a minimum of 5,000 gallons every two months. This bill—pictured above—is for January and February. Our usage was 4,204. If we had gone over the 5,000-gallon minimum, you'd see an extra line item for the overage. Since we were well under the minimum, we avoided that. The regular water bill includes the other expenses - likely similar to the ones where you may live right now: Sewer Charge $95 Each home has a grinder pump located just outside one side of the house. These are higher-tech devices that contribute to sewage treatment. The POA performs the sewer treatment here inside the Village. Ambulance Fee $16.67 Street Lights $6.67 FSDWA Fee $1.00* *Thanks to A.I. I found out what this stands for - Federal Safe Drinking Water Act Fee Arkansas State Tax $6.75 Saline County Tax $.39 Conclusion: Our Totals* So, not including property tax or home owner's insurance, our monthly expenses are: $113.19 monthly POA assessment $150.00 monthly average electricity bill $103.00 average monthly water bill (but it's only paid every other month) $366.19 monthly total Our property taxes are $2070.10 a year or $172.51 a month. Like everybody else's around here, our insurance increased due to tornadoes last year to $997.89 a year or $83.16 a month. That brings our total monthly overhead - not including mortgage because thankfully, we're mortgage free - to: $621.86 total monthly expenses Compared to Texas, where we split our time but don't own a house—our old house, where we lived for over 25 years—our Texas property taxes were just under $10,000 a year, or about $800 monthly. The monthly cost savings between Hot Springs Village and DFW are well over $2,000 a month. Living costs are a major advantage of coming to Hot Springs Village. You can maintain whatever lifestyle you're accustomed to here.

1987 - Saline County, Arkansas. This is a preview of The Trail Went Cold's coverage of the murders of Don Henry and Kevin Ives, also known as The Boys on the Tracks. The Trail Went Cold, created and hosted by Robin Warder, released a two-part episode about this convoluted case (that was featured on the original Unsolved Mysteries) for their five-year anniversary show in 2021. You can find the rest of the story at episode 213 and 214. Subscribe to The Trail Went Cold wherever you listen to podcasts or by visiting their website at https://www.trailwentcold.com. August 23, 1987. Saline County Arkansas. 16-year old Don Henry and 17-year old Kevin Ives head into the woods to do some late-night hunting, but never return. Hours later, the two boys are seen lying on some railroad tracks before they are run over by a cargo train and the medical examiner concludes they had fallen asleep after smoking marijuana and their deaths were accidental. However, Don and Kevin's families push for a new investigation, which uncovers evidence that they were violently attacked before their bodies were placed on the tracks. Throughout the years, a number of conspiracy theories emerge to suggest the boys were murdered as part of a cover-up involving drug trafficking, but no one is ever charged with the crime.

1-30-24 We're off to Arkansas tonight (where it's warmer) to visit with Tony Fry, owner and meadmaker at Arkansas Meadery in Alexander, Arkansas. Since 2001, Tony Fry has been deeply passionate about the art of fermenting, starting with beer and wine and eventually delving into the world of mead. As a founding member of CAF ("Central Arkansas Fermenters") in 2003, a prominent homebrew club based in Little Rock, Arkansas, he played a pivotal role in fostering a vibrant community of enthusiasts, making it one of the largest homebrew clubs in the United States. In 2014, Tony ventured into beekeeping, which further sparked his interest in mead-making. This journey led him to acquire a small farm in Saline County, Arkansas, in 2015. Serendipitously, that same year, the dry county lifted restrictions on alcohol sales, providing the perfect opportunity for Tony to explore his passion for mead-making and the possibility of opening a Meadery. Tony views this sequence of events as a divine sign, inspiring him to establish Arkansas's first Meadery, opening the meadery in September of 2021. Today, he is thrilled to share his creations with the world, inviting everyone to join the journey. This player will show the most recent show, and when we're live, will play the live feed.

On Tuesday, a Saline County jury found fellow inmate Eric Ramos guilty of taking part in the murder. Shortly after the jury returned to the Saline County District Court Tuesday morning to resume discussions they returned a verdict of guilt to murder in the first degree, carrying a life sentence.

Around 4:00am on August 23, 1987, the bodies of 16-year-old Don Henry and 17-year-old Kevin Ives were hit by a freight train in the town of Alexander, in Saline County, Arkansas, United States, as they were laying on the tracks. The locomotive engineer engaged the brakes while blowing the horn, but the train could not stop in time and rolled over the bodies. A second autopsy revealed that Don Henry had been stabbed in the back and Kevin Ives' skull had been crushed prior to being run over.The deaths were initially ruled an accident, the result of the boys in a deep sleep on the tracks while incapacitated due to high amounts of THC allegedly present in their blood. The parents of the boys insisted on a second autopsy, and after exhumation it was ruled that homicide was likely. Later, another pathologist ruled that Don Henry's shirt showed evidence of a stab wound.Please follow us onInstagram @themurdermamasFacebook @TheMMamasTwitter @themurdermamasTic Tok @themurdermamas2Email themurdermamas@gmail.comSources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Don_Henry_and_Kevin_Iveshttps://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/kevin-ives-and-don-henry-12289/https://unsolved.com/gallery/don-henry-kevin-ives/There is also a book The Boys on the Tracks written by Mara Leveritt on Amazon https://amazn.to/44tZ4s1 if you would like to dive deeper into the case.Think about starting your own podcast?  Use our link https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=1905497 for $20 off your podcast hosting needs!Support the show

Sweet Springs is more than meets the eye. This picturesque community in Saline County, just about an hour east of Kansas City, invites you to take a closer look; you're sure to find a town dedicated to revitalization and progress, and full of potential.

Late Edition: Crime Beat Chronicles is a show that shares true crime stories through readings of newspaper articles and interviews with the journalists who reported on the stories. What you're about to hear is the second episode in a four part series, so if you're new here jump back to part one so you're up to speed. For this set of episodes we'll be traveling to Wilber, Nebraska, where, in November of 2017, 24-year-old Sydney Loofe left work to go on a second date with someone she met on a dating app, and she never came home. The events that followed centered around Aubrey Trail and Bailey Boswell, who were eventually convicted in the case, and were bizarre in the way they unfolded on social media and in the courtroom. The Lincoln Journal Star and Omaha World-Herald covered the story as it broke and navigated the circus-like atmosphere that developed in the courtroom and in conversations with Aubrey Trail. The articles, which you'll hear read by Matt McGrath and are linked below in full, have been lightly edited to avoid redundancies, are linked below and if you appreciate what we're doing with this program, we encourage you to invest in local journalism and support whichever newspaper serves your community. We also have an interview with Dave Bundy and Todd Henrichs, the editor and city editor, respectively, at the Lincoln Journal Star, who were on the floor and making decisions on how to best cover every aspect of this story as it was breaking. 2 sought in disappearance of Sydney Loofe, Lincoln police say Investigators scouring Saline, Gage; 'persons of interest' in Sydney Loofe disappearance deny involvement 'Still looking': Investigators scour ponds, creeks as search for Sydney Loofe continues Sydney Loofe disappearance: Father pleads for help in search as investigators try to question 'persons of interest' 'Persons of interest' in Sydney Loofe disappearance in custody in Nebraska Search for Sydney Loofe highlights balance of transparency, strategy for law enforcement From the start, Loofe investigators looked for electronic breadcrumbs 'This is not your typical case,' Saline County attorney says of investigation into Sydney Loofe's death Late Edition: Crime Beat Chronicles, a product of Lee Enterprises, is produced, recorded, edited and hosted by Chris Lay with articles read and recorded by Matt McGrath.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Murder On The Tracks: Part 3 - The Sheriffs - Carnage On Ice Youtube channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UC4MjVwzvB2v9XIQq7JYQxuA On August 23, 1987 teenagers Kevin Ives and Don Henry were brutally murdered and their bodies placed on railroad tracks in an effort to conceal their murders. This is the story of what happened that night, the immediate cover-up which reached the highest levels of government, and the admirable, and still on-going, crusade waged by Kevin's mother, Linda Ives, to get Justice for the murders of Kevin and Don. Part 3 of the "All For Justice... And Justice For All" series. As Linda is now retired, it is difficult and costly to keep up her fight. Please feel free to make a contribution towards helping bring this treacherous case to a close, with some Justice finally being served! THE KEVIN IVES/DON HENRY GoFundMe PAGE... www.gofundme.com/f/kevinives-donhenrymurders ---- Murder On The Tracks Part 3 - The Sheriffs, takes a look at ALL the Sheriffs of Saline County since Kevin and Don's murders.... THIS video is exactly WHY Linda Ives needs to have private investigators employed to get to the bottom of the MURDERS of her son Kevin, and his friend Don. It's been an "open investigation" since day one by the "official authorities" and look how THAT has worked out for 30+ years now. The people working for Linda, such as Private Investigator Keith Rounsavall, who was a Police Detective for 25 years before retiring and becoming a P.I., are doing so Pro Bono, meaning they are NOT getting paid to do it. They are doing it to help Linda get the LONG overdue Justice for the murder of her son and his friend Don. Audio taken from: https://youtu.be/8UobdAwGYrs

In the early morning of August 23, 1987 Kevin Ives and Don Henry were struck by a fast moving cargo train after allegedly passing out in a THC induced stupor on the railroad tracks.  Initially, authorities deemed the deaths a tragic accident, but as more evidence came to light it became glaringly obvious that something more sinister was going on in Saline County!

Born in 1988 at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, this 33-year-old greater one-horned rhino (also known as the Indian Rhino) was the oldest male in the Species Survival Plan of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Joya moved to Salina, Kansas' Rolling Hills Zoo in 1995 where he had been monitored by veterinarian staff for age-related issues for the past few months. Add another tally to the Clinton Body Count. This week, ABC 33/40 reporter Christopher Sign suicided. He broke the secret tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch in 2016, then published a book about it. After its release in February 2020, he told Fox & Friends his family received death threats which drove him out of Phoenix, Arizona back to Birmingham, Alabama -- to Channel 33. When asked about chain of custody documents for absentee ballots deposited into drop boxes for the November 3, 2020 election, a Fulton County election official admitted to The Georgia Star News "a few forms are missing" and "some procedural paperwork may have been misplaced." Coincidentally, Georgia is missing chain of custody documents for about 333,000 absentee ballots out of an estimated 600,000 which is pretty suspicious considering Biden only "won" by 12,000 votes in the Peach State. Lastly, neighbors called for a wellness check on a Glendora, California home after smelling a strong odor coming from it. Law enforcement found 33 cats -- 7 dead and 2 that had to be euthanized -- and one dog living in filthy conditions. THE COOF This week, 33 deaths were reported in Oman and the Punjab state of India. 33 new cases were reported in the Prey Veng province of Cambodia, Kentucky's Graves County, Massachusetts, Maui, New York's Monroe County, and Washington's Clark County. The CDC updated their travel guidance, moving 33 countries to their lowest risk category which is deemed safe for travel for anyone who got a coof shot. In England, a 33-year-old music teacher plead guilty to faking a COVID 'Fit to Fly' certificate to travel to Egypt by altering the date on a negative 'rona test PDF from February. An Egyptian airline worker spotted a missing digit on the certificate. He was found guilty of forgery and counterfeit offense of making a false instrument but was granted bail and is leaving the country ahead of his hearing, telling the judge he will be back in time for it and now has an up-to-date negative test certificate. Also, the symptoms for this scary new Delta variant are headaches, coughs, and sneezing...like a cold. WEED In 2007, Robert Franklin tossed a pound of weed out of his car during a traffic stop in Saline County, Missouri and received a 22-year prison sentence. But after serving more than a decade in prison, he has become the first 420POW to have his case commuted by Governor Mike Parson. Jeff Mizanskey was the last time weed-related POW freed by Governor Jay Nixon in 2015. Joints for Jabs launched Monday in Washington state, but dispensary owners aren't participating. Unlike other jab freebies which require citizens to simply flash their poked papers to claim their prize, Joints for Jabs requires pot shops to set up a vaccine clinic inside so only those with a fresh band-aid can claim their jay. Many don't have the space to set up a clinic inside, and healthcare providers are concerned about setting up shop in a place that distributes illegal drugs since that could jeopardize their federal funding. Since the program expires July 12, citizens planning to get poked in the pot shop might not be able to get their second shot in time. Participating pot shops will be able to cash in on a tax break for product they give away unlike alcohol retailers, but that doesn't help much when they are still unfairly facing Section 180E. Last Tokin' Tuesday, the pain management committee for the NFL and NFL Players Association announced it will provide $1 million in funding for research into pain management with cannabis and cannabinoids. Five grants are expected to be awarded around Thanksgiving. Arkansas' medical sales exceeded $330 million since the market launched in 2019 and last month, May 2021, Maine hit a new record with $5.4 million in recreational sales. The Montana group opposing the 2020 voter-approved recreational initiative has dropped its lawsuit since Governor Greg Gianforte signed House Bill 701 into law, amending the legalization law voters passed. The lawsuit claimed the initiative was unconstitutional for earmarking a portion of tax revenues from federally illegal marijuana sales, contending only the legislature can determine how tax revenue is spent. Tomorrow, June 16, 2021 at 10 AM, the Connecticut legislature will hold a special session to determine the fate of the recreational weed bill mentioned previously on Bowl After Bowl. Rhode Island will have to wait a little longer for a recreational market, as the backers of three adult-use bills failed to compromise and likely won't before the end of the legislative session the last week of June. Today, Representatives Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) and Cori Bush (D-MO) unveiled the Drug Policy Reform Act (DPRA) to end criminal penalties for drug possession federally and incentivize state and local governments to adopt decriminalization policies by limiting their eligibility to receive funds if they don't. The bill also proposes moving regulatory power from the Attorney General to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, record expungement and resentencing, "reinvesting in alternative health-centered approaches," prohibiting drug tests for individuals to receive federal benefits, prohibiting the use of civil asset forfeiture related to personal drug possession cases, and establishing a Commission on Substance Use, Health and Safety to determine benchmark amounts for drug possession and publish a report including recommendations for preventing the prosecution of individuals processing, distributing, or dispensing personal use quantities. In 2018, Tampa-based Florigrown sued the state over its licensing process which resulted in three of the 22 licensed operators controlling two-thirds of the market. Six license holders account for 90% of sales. They hoped the state would provide standalone licenses for small businesses and break up the vertical scheme, but the Supreme Court just ruled against them in a 6-1 decision saying the Florida Legislature met its constitutional obligations in enacting a limited-license vertical structure. With the lawsuit over, the state's licensing freeze comes to an end. It is likely state regulators will issue 15 new vertical licenses over the next six months. The Ohio State Medical Board added Huntington's disease, spasticity or severe muscle spasms, and terminal illness as qualifying conditions for medical weed. Earlier in the year, the board granted separate requests to add arthritis, chronic migraines, and complex regional pain syndrome but rejected petitions to include autism spectrum disorder and restless leg syndrome. In Colorado, 21 individuals were arrested in connection to a black market marijuana and money laundering scheme. They are accused of growing millions of dollars worth of pot across metro Denver and funneling their profits to China through social media apps. The investigation began in August 2020 and investigators have since seized thousands of plants, hundreds of pounds of packaged pot, and about $1 million. Charges range from racketeering and conspiracy to drug cultivation, distribution, and money laundering. Federal investigators found the money cycled from the US to China to Central and South America, then back to the US. Two individuals were allegedly involved in the illegal Oklahoma grow op referenced in Bowl After Bowl Episode 80: I Shitted My Priorities. Yesterday (Monday, June 14, 2021), the California legislature approved a $100-million plan to strengthen their legal industry which continues to struggle in competition with the emerald market five years after voters approved recreational sales. Grants will be provided to cities and counties to help businesses transition from provisional to regular licenses. It's a complicated process to get a permanent, annually-renewed license from a temporary one, requiring high costs and developing a plan to reduce the harms of the industry's negative environmental impacts. Speaking of negative impacts, Sacramento is being sued by a number of unidentified weed businesses for establishing "Neighborhood Responsibility Plan" fees equal to 1% of gross revenue on top of a 4% business operations tax on gross receipts -- even though the city failed to identify a single negative impact from cannabiz operations. After receiving eight complaints about a growing operation's odor March 2019, Santa Barbara County filed the jurisdiction's first nuisance lawsuit against Island View Ranch and Island Breeze Farms.  The lawsuit also claims Island Breeze hasn't "diligently pursued" obtaining the county and state business licenses to operate and therefore is illegally growing and processing weed.

Kevin Ives and Don Henry’s deaths were officially considered homicides. Someone had killed them and placed them on the tracks to cover up their deaths. They had unknowingly stumbled upon a drug smuggling operation and paid for it with their lives. But the question remains: who killed them?Sources: https://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=5229877&page=1ps://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/former-wrestler-claims-he-witnessed-murders-of-don-henry-and-kevin-ives/91-518352443https://www.rcfp.org/journals/the-news-media-and-the-law-fall-2001/video-producer-wins-appeal-li/https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clinton_Chronicleshttps://youtu.be/bk45bxuOKEchttps://youtu.be/aOeumq8nse8https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Don_Henry_and_Kevin_Iveshttps://www.abnormalarkansas.com/post/the-mysterious-deaths-of-don-henry-and-kevin-iveshttps://wayofleaf.com/blog/can-you-die-from-getting-too-highhttps://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/kevin-ives-and-don-henry-12289/https://www.google.com/amp/s/usdiaspora.wordpress.com/2015/08/13/can-we-trust-hillary-rodham-clinton/amp/https://apnews.com/article/537f0fe68efe4fa7a5e7000f403736b9https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Sealhttps://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2010/feb/19/ex-prosecutor-arrested-drug-charges/https://idfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/section-1.pdfhttps://railroads.dot.gov/environment/noise-vibration/horn-noise-faqhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_County,_Arkansashttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulaski_County,_Arkansashttps://idfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/The-Rise-and-Demise-of-Jean-Duffeys-Task-Force-for-link.htmlhttps://idfiles.com/investigations/saline-county-grand-jury/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/Killerlocalepodcast)

Just after 4 a.m. on August 23, 1987, teenagers Kevin Ives and Don Henry were struck by a Union Pacific train in Alexander, Arkansas. Arkansas State Medical Examiner, Dr. Fahmy Malak, initially ruled the deaths as accidental caused by the consumption of too much marijuana. However, that was far from the truth. What actually happened that early morning was no accident. Join us as we take a look at what happened to those “boys on the tracks.”Sources:https://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=5229877&page=1ps://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/former-wrestler-claims-he-witnessed-murders-of-don-henry-and-kevin-ives/91-518352443https://www.rcfp.org/journals/the-news-media-and-the-law-fall-2001/video-producer-wins-appeal-li/https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clinton_Chronicleshttps://youtu.be/bk45bxuOKEchttps://youtu.be/aOeumq8nse8https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Don_Henry_and_Kevin_Iveshttps://www.abnormalarkansas.com/post/the-mysterious-deaths-of-don-henry-and-kevin-iveshttps://wayofleaf.com/blog/can-you-die-from-getting-too-highhttps://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/kevin-ives-and-don-henry-12289/https://www.google.com/amp/s/usdiaspora.wordpress.com/2015/08/13/can-we-trust-hillary-rodham-clinton/amp/https://apnews.com/article/537f0fe68efe4fa7a5e7000f403736b9https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Sealhttps://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2010/feb/19/ex-prosecutor-arrested-drug-charges/https://idfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/section-1.pdfhttps://railroads.dot.gov/environment/noise-vibration/horn-noise-faqhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_County,_Arkansashttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulaski_County,_Arkansashttps://idfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/The-Rise-and-Demise-of-Jean-Duffeys-Task-Force-for-link.htmlThe Boys on the Tracks by Maria LeverittSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/Killerlocalepodcast)

This podcast features two stories recorded by visitors to the Forces of Nature exhibit, currently on display at the Kansas Museum of History through January 9th, 2009. In the first segment, farmer and author Thomas Holmquist describes a 2007 flood on his farm in Saline County near Smolan. The second recording is by Holmquist's wife, Marlysue Esping-Holmquist. She describes the history of their farm and how it was obtained through an allotment system in 1868 by her ancestors, who didn't realize it lay in the flood plain near Dry Creek. These recordings are available on the Historical Society's website for primary sources, Kansas Memory, at www.kansasmemory.org.
