Coach takes team’s money, gear

BY DUSTIN AZLIN Sun Staff Writer dazlin@jonesborosun.com

JONESBORO — When Sara Ruth Johnson told her daughter there would be no Little League party because the softball coach stole the team’s money, she said

her daughter looked at her and said it would be OK. “God will have to deal with him,” 9-year-old Olivia Edwards told her mother.

The little girl belonged to a softball league for children that was hosted by the Jonesboro

Parks and Recreation Department, and each team was responsible for each fundraising effort.

The team’s coach, Robert Haynes, age unknown, of Missouri, had organized a raffle drawing that aimed to bring in

money for the team and for a party at the end of the season.

The team was able to raise about $500.

But there would be no end-ofseason celebration.

The raffle amount was supposed to be split in half, with

$250 going to the winners of the raffle and the remaining for the team.

“He never produced any of that,” Johnson said. “There was no party. There weren’t any

Perrin: New parole officer policy at JPD

BY GEORGE JARED Sun Staff Writer gjared@jonesborosun.com

JONESBORO — Parole officers will soon be able to ride along with police officers who serve warrants involving felons.

During former Jonesboro Police Chief Michael Yates tenure the practice was discouraged, but Mayor Harold Perrin told The Sun he thinks the city should allow parole officers such access. The city and police department are still attempting to heal in the wake of Yates’ departure.

He resigned Sunday after a firestorm of controversy erupted when incendiary Facebook posts that he made about Sun reporter Sunshine Crump surfaced.

“We want to move forward and move on,” Perrin said.

Perrin met with one parole officer, Ashley Stuart, and her lawyer Monday. Stuart had previously asked to go with officers serving warrants, but had been stopped from doing so by Yates, officials said.

There were several emails exchanged between Yates and Stuart, but the city no longer has them, city attorney Carol Duncan said. One email exchange between Yates and Stuart from March 28 was requested by The Sun. City officials said the email was not on Yates’ computer and couldn’t be found.

The former police chief wrote several derogatory comments about Crump. Perrin suspended Yates on Friday, but Yates decided two days later to resign.

A search to find his replacement is under way, and Perrin said he hopes to have a replacement within the next 60 days.

Perrin said he read a couple of emails Stuart provided to him at Monday’s meeting, but he couldn’t recall exact details. Stuart had several concerns about the relationship between the police department and parole officers.

The city will host an open door meeting Sept. 17 to discuss these concerns, Perrin said.

We’re looking forward to having a great relationship with them,” Perrin said.

JONESBORO — The last piece of real estate in the most attractive part of Red Wolf Boulevard for retailers is about to be sold.

The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of rezoning 2.17 acres at

the corner of Red Wolf and Fairview Drive to C-3 commercial, with a limited use. Owners of 10 houses on Red Wolf Boulevard, Fairview Drive and Fair Cove combined their property for the proposed new commercial development.

JONESBORO — Milder weather here, heat waves elsewhere and a new system for distributing power have created economic benefits for City Water & Light and its customers, General Manager Jake Rice said Tuesday.

Rice told the CWL Board of Directors that the ability to sell surplus power through the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) has generated higher profit margins. The Indianabased organization manages the power grid for Entergy Arkansas, CWL and other utilities in several states.

At times, the margins are 2.5 times higher than normal, Rice said. On Aug. 12, demand was so high that CWL operated its gas fired turbines for five hours at extremely high prices.

The generators have delivered more than 16,000 megawatt-hours of electric-

Leader of the pack

ity so far this year, more than four times as much as all of last year, Rice said.

Rice said there were some concerns that CWL would lose independence after joining MISO in December, but what independence that was lost was minor compared to increased sales opportunities.

Through July CWL has earned $4.675 million from sales to other utilities, compared to $2.2 million a year ago.

On another issue, Rice said an advisory for customers to irrigate their lawns on alternate days wasn’t a sign that Jonesboro has a water shortage. CWL has a surplus of water. Rather, Rice said irrigating on alternate days is considered “best practice,” and will help CWL with maintenance.

Gaza truce open-ended, but puts off tough issues Associated Press

Associated Press

A Palestinian family flashes victory signs as they celebrate the cease-fire between Palestinians and Israelis at the main road in Gaza, in the northern Gaza Strip, on Tuesday. Israel and Hamas agreed Tuesday to an open-ended cease-fire, halting a seven-week war that killed more than 2,200 people.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israel and Gaza’s ruling Hamas agreed Tuesday to an open-ended cease-fire after seven weeks of fighting — an uneasy deal that halts the deadliest war the sides have fought in years, with more than 2,200 killed, but puts off the most difficult issues.

In the end, both sides settled for an ambiguous interim agreement in exchange for a period of calm. Hamas, though badly battered, remains in

control of Gaza with part of its military arsenal intact. Israel and Egypt will continue to control access to blockaded Gaza, despite Hamas’ longrunning demand that the border closures imposed in 2007 be lifted.

Hamas declared victory, even though it had little to show for a war that killed 2,143 Palestinians, wounded more than 11,000 and left some 100,000 homeless. On the Israeli side, 64 soldiers and six civilians were killed, includ-

ing two killed by Palestinian mortar fire shortly before the cease-fire was announced.

Mahmoud Zahar, a senior Hamas leader, promised to rebuild homes destroyed in the war and said Hamas would rearm. The Israeli response was more subdued.

“This time we hope the cease-fire will stick,” said Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev. He portrayed the deal as one Hamas had rejected in previous rounds of negotiations.

American woman held American militant killed hostage by Syria militants Associated Press

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Islamic State militant group is holding hostage a young American woman who was doing humanitarian aid work in Syria, a family representative said Tuesday. The 26-year-old woman is the third American known to have been kidnapped by the militant group.

The Islamic State group recently threatened to kill American hostages to avenge the crushing airstrikes in Iraq against militants advancing on Mount Sinjar and the Kurdish capital of Irbil.

The 26-year-old woman was captured last year while working with three humanitarian groups in Syria. A representative for the family and U.S. officials asked that the woman not be identified out of fear for her safety. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the issue publicly.

More than a week ago, freelance journalist James Foley of Rochester, New Hampshire, was beheaded by the Islamic State group, which kidnapped him in November 2012. Foley, 40, had worked in a number of conflict zones across the Mideast, in-

cluding Iraq, Libya and Syria. He was in northern Syria on assignment for Agence France-Press and the Boston-based news organization GlobalPost when the car he was riding in was stopped by four militants in a contested battle zone that both Sunni rebel fighters and government forces were trying to control.

The Islamic State video of Foley’s beheading also showed another of the missing American journalists, Steven Sotloff, and warned he would be killed next if U.S. airstrikes continued. U.S. officials believe the video was made days before its release and have grown increasingly worried about Sotloff’s fate.

Other American hostages have been held by other militant groups, including Peter Curtis from Boston, who was recently released by al-Nusra Front, a rival Sunni extremist group. Another U.S. freelance journalist, Austin Tice of Houston, disappeared in Syria in August 2012 and is believed to be held by the Syrian government. Tice was working for The Washington Post, McClatchy Newspapers and other media outlets when he was kidnapped.

NEW HOPE, Minn. — An American man believed to have been killed in Syria was there to fight alongside a terrorist group, most likely the Islamic State, a U.S. official said Tuesday.

Investigators were aware that Douglas McAuthur McCain had traveled to the country to join a militant group, but they did not yet have his body and were still trying to verify information about his death, said the official, who was not McCain authorized to discuss by name an ongoing investigation and spoke only on condition of anonymity.

A relative, Kenneth McCain, told The Associated Press that the State Department had called to tell his family that Douglas McCain had been killed in Syria.

“We do not know if he was fighting anyone,” he said.

U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials have expressed concern about the influence of hard-line jihadists who are among the rebels seek-

CWL

ing to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad. Officials say fighters from the U.S. or Europe looking to join the cause could become radicalized and import those influences and terrorist skills when they return home.

It was unclear when McCain, who had most recently lived in San Diego, traveled to Syria. He grew up outside Minneapolis in the town of New Hope, where he graduated high school in 1999.

A cousin, Kenyata McCain, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that she had spoken to McCain as recently as Friday and “he was telling all of us he was in Turkey.”

“I know that he had strong Muslim beliefs,” she told the newspaper. “But I didn’t know that he was in support of ISIS. I didn’t think he would be.”

At an apartment complex in New Hope, Shelly Chase remembered McCain as a friendly boy who welcomed her 9-yearold son, Isaac, when the Chase family moved in some two decades ago.

Even though McCain was a few years older, the boys used to lift weights, hit punching bags and play basketball.

Both Shelly Chase and her son, now 28, fought back tears as they talked about McCain.

section of the city.

The first phase of a project to expand wastewater collection capacity has been completed and a contractor has begun the second phase. The first phase was installation of about 8,000 feet of 42inch sewer lines from the East Side Wastewater Treatment Plant on Ingels Road to Krueger Drive.

The second phase is installation of about 13,000 feet of 36-inch lines from Krueger Drive to a lift station just south of Prospect Road.

Rosetta Construction Co. of Springfield, Mo., is expected to have that $1.84 million job done in September.

Kevan Inboden, special projects director, also explained ongoing work to reduce infiltration of groundwater into sewer lines through cracks in older lines. He

said crews are working daily to detect those problems, as well as inflow of stormwater into the systems.

State and federal environmental regulators have placed a strong emphasis on correcting such problems.

He quoted retired manager Ron Bowen on the importance to taking a proactive stance.

“Try to anticipate all problems and act prior to their occurrence,” Bowen would often say.

Failure to follow that type of philosophy has proven expensive for some cities who were forced into action by regulatory sanctions, Inboden said.

“In Arkansas, we’ve seen utilities spend 10s of millions of dollars,” he said.

The measures to monitor flow through sewer lines CWL is taking today will help plan for future expansion, Inboden added.

CONTINUED FROM A1

Billboards, convenience stores and gas stations, car washes, pawn shops, vehicle repairs, farmers markets and adult entertainment would be specifically prohibited.

In addition to being at the hottest commercial area in town, Fairview Drive also offers easy access to The Mall at Turtle Creek. Fairview connects with Brazos Street, which enters the mall property from the south. Brown said drivers can reach the mall in less than a minute by taking that route.

“After this property, we’re out of real estate,” Brown said, adding that national retailers and restaurants are more interested in locating on Red Wolf south of Nettleton Avenue than on East

Johnson Avenue near the new NEA Baptist Medical Campus.

In other action, the commission approved final plans for the Harrison Hills subdivision south of Neely Road, south and southeast of the new Fire Station No. 5.

Developer Bob Harrison plans 35 lots on 10.78 acres in the first phase of development. The land was originally platted as the Griffin subdivision in 1968.

While two neighboring property owners objected to some of the plans, Otis Spriggs, the city’s planning director said one of them has received additional information. Harrison has also dropped plans to close a couple of streets that were never built.

tournaments.”

Haynes was tasked with coaching the team during the summer season from March to July.

As the season progressed, Johnson became concerned after she suspected the coach kept the entire $500.

“He never produced any of that,” Johnson said. “I sent him numerous text messages asking about the raffle, and he started to get real defensive about it.”

Johnson said she also never discovered where the coach paid a winner in the raffle.

Eventually, she got tired of his evasive behavior about the money. She contacted Jonesboro Sgt.

Brad Rossman about the theft.

The officer has been trying to locate Haynes in Missouri, but has been unsuccessful.

“I spent several hours trying to get a full identification on Robert Haynes of Missouri,” Rossman said. “At this time, I cannot locate any information that will confirm his identity or his location.”

Police suspect he may have returned to Missouri, but it hasn’t been confirmed. She gave the coach one last chance before she filed a report.

“Two weeks before school started, I texted him that I was going to police,” Johnson said.

“He never responded.”

Haynes didn’t just take the children’s party mon-

ey, he also walked away with about $120 in tournament fees and $200 worth of catcher’s gear another parent purchased for the team.

Jonesboro Softball Coordinator Sharron Turman said it was a terrible thing to do to the team.

“I truly hate it when kids are busy raising money to go to a tournament and other things and something like this happens,” she said. “It’s a sad situation.”

Turman said her department organizes the games and hosts field play, but it’s up to individual teams to raise money.

She said Haynes first began as coach at the end of March, and he finished with the team at the beginning of July.

“It’s just heartbreaking that somebody would do that to children,” Johnson said. “All these little girls raised this money and wanted a party that they never got.”

It was also embarrassing for her at work. She had sold raffle tickets to coworkers, and she received

multiple questions about winners in the contest.

Johnson and her daughter aren’t letting this incident get in the way of the girl’s love of the sport.

“She is going to play again this summer,” Johnson said. “It will be a different team.”

Clarification In Tuesday’s edition of The Sun it was reported in a story titled “Chief’s Facebook posts still surfacing” that former Jonesboro Police Chief Michael Yates made an Arkansas Freedom of Information request concerning a letter county employee Stan Mitchell wrote to Mayor Harold Perrin in early August.

Yates claimed he requested the letter, which called for his ouster, but in emails obtained by The Sun Yates didn’t request it, but it was forwarded to him by Perrin. Yates posted the letter to his Facebook account and made comments about Mitchell.

Are You Clueless?

You work and save over many years to build a nest egg for the ultimate reason in retirement, and that is to provide yourself an income throughout your retirement years. Thus, it can be said that income is the outcome of retirement planning.

Unfortunately, most people, financial advisors included, are simply clueless as to how to setup their retirement plan properly for providing this lifetime income.

The retirement objective and focus changes as you enter your pre-retirement and retirement years, shifting from RETIREMENT & WEALTH STRATEGIES

Jack Sharp

Investment Advisor Representative PRESIDENT, SHARP FINANCIAL SERVICES 0WFS :FBST PG &YQFSJFODF

www.sharpfi nancialinc.com an accumulation mode to a preservation and distribution mode. Taking income from your nest egg the proper way comes down to many factors and considerations. Of course, each is based on your unique set of goals, objectives and desires, but here are some main provisions to consider.

• What should you do with your money once you retire?

Specifically, which accounts should you tap first and why?

How old are you? Different plans have different age rules and requirements to tap into your nest egg, There is strategy involved here to maximize income, minimize taxes and avoid penalties.

• Are you still going to work after retirement age?

If so, you need to be aware of and understand the rules and provisions that will affect savings, taxes, Social Security and RMDs. Again, different plans have different age rules and requirements.

• Beware of the tax man. Tax planning is critical in retirement.

You want to setup your income plan and distributions to minimize the taxes that you pay.

Remember, tax evasion is illegal, but tax avoidance using the right tools and strategies is not.

• To rollover or not? There are reasons that you should or should not rollover a 401(k) plan to an IRA for income purposes.

You have to find out what is best for your specific situation.

There are many more factors to consider, including one distribution strategy that should be done even if you don’t need income right away.

Official: Darr to pay up soon Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK — The Arkansas attorney general’s office said it expects former Lt. Gov. Mark Darr to reimburse the state nearly $11,000 for improper expenses “very soon,” according to office spokesman Aaron Sadler.

Sadler told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that “we have talked to Mr. Darr and we anticipate that this debt will be resolved very soon, without any need for litigation.” He declined to elaborate on when “very soon” would be.

Earlier this month, a chief deputy with attorney general Dustin McDaniel’s office said the office was “prepared to immediately move forward” with a lawsuit, if necessary, to retrieve the $10,973 Darr owes the state.

Auditors recommended in April that Darr pay the money for misspending taxpayer funds, such as receiving almost $10,000 in improper mileage reim-

bursements from January 2011 to September 2013.

On top of the $10,973 required payment, Darr also was fined $11,000 over ethics violations tied to his office and campaign spending.

He resigned in February. Darr, who now works as a car salesman, declined to comment to the newspaper.

Ethics Commission Director Graham Sloan said Darr has paid $7,000 of his $11,000 fine. He said Darr must pay the commission $1,000 per month and is current on his payments.

The lieutenant governor’s office has been vacant since Darr stepped down earlier this year.

State lawmakers gave Gov. Mike Beebe authority to keep the office, which presides over the Arkansas Senate and casts the rare tie-breaking vote in the chamber, unoccupied rather than call a special election to fill it for a few months.

Pryor’s new attack ad invokes Ebola outbreak

BY ANDREW DEMILLO Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK — Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor invoked the Ebola outbreak in a new television ad unveiled this week criticizing his Republican rival over a vote against medical disaster funding, injecting fears about the deadly disease into an already intense race.

The Arkansas senator’s campaign has been runn i n g a new televis i o n s p o t t h a t opens with TV n e w s clips about Pryor the outbreak, which has killed more than 1,400 people in West Africa. Health officials say an outbreak in the U.S. is unlikely.

The spot criticizes Republican rival Tom Cotton, a freshman congressman from south Arkansas, for a vote last year against legislation reauthorizing pandemic response programs.

“Tom Cotton voted against preparing America for pandemics like Ebola,” a narrator says in the ad before another voice adds, “Congressman Cotton voted to cut billions from our nation’s medical disaster and emergency programs.”

Pryor’s campaign would not say how much

it’s spending to run the ad or where it’s running the 30-second spot, which it said began airing over the weekend. It’s part of an escalating ad fight between the two candidates and outside groups in a race that could determine which party controls the Senate.

Combined, the candidates and groups have spent more than $19.7 million on the race, according to the nonprofit Sunlight Foundation.

Cotton spokesman David Ray ridiculed the spot and said it ignores a vote the congressman cast in favor of a later version of the legislation.

“Senator Pryor’s desperation is comical,” Ray said in a statement released by the campaign.

“In Senator Pryor’s world, he doesn’t have to take responsibility for rubberstamping the Obama agenda over 90 percent of the time, but wants Arkansans to believe Tom Cotton is responsible for everything from Ebola to crabgrass and male-pattern baldness.”

Pryor’s campaign defended the spot and accused Cotton of trying to make light of the issue.

Janine Parry, a political science professor at the University of Arkansas, said the ad is “pretty alarmist.”

“There’s no getting around it, almost cartoonish in its insistence of tying a candidate for political office to global misfortune,” Parry said.

OPINION

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States: ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.’

THE JONESBORO SUN

Free speech, civil discourse Editor’s note: The following was submitted by faculty, staff and administration of the College of Media and Communication at Arkansas State University. Their views are their own and do not represent those of the college or the university.

On Aug. 20, The Jonesboro Sun published an article about the resignation of one of its reporters, Sunshine Crump, due to her perceived intimidation by the Jonesboro police chief. The article quoted several Facebook posts by Chief Mike Yates that attempted to malign and discredit Crump’s character.

The story, subsequent editorials, and suspension of Chief Yates raise issues about free speech, freedom of the press and civil discourse.

The need for free speech is paramount in a democratic society. It was so important to our forefathers that they included it in the First Amendment.

Also included was the right of a free press. These constitutional protections are, in part, derived from the concept of the “free marketplace of ideas” espoused by philosophers John Milton and John Stuart Mill.

In a healthy democracy, people should be free to argue their points of view until the best idea prevails. We, the undersigned, are media and communication professionals and scholars, and we staunchly defend these freedoms in our classrooms and in our practice. However, we also recommend responsible use of these rights.

Free speech does not receive absolute protection. When the use of speech infringes on other protected rights, such as life, property and justice, then the courts have restricted its freedoms.

In The Sun article, Chief Yates was quoted as saying, “I didn’t sacrifice my rights to free speech for the sake of my job as police chief.” While that is legally accurate, society still holds people accountable for their words and their actions; not just for what is legal, but also for what is appropriate and civil. In other words, our Constitution protects our right to say what we want without government censorship or restraint, but it does not protect us from the social consequences that speech might provoke.

We expect more from public officials, whether they are elected or appointed.

We expect them to use their positions to improve the community, not advance their own self-interests, and to set examples for all of us, especially our children.

Is this fair? That’s a good question. To paraphrase Uncle Ben Parker from the Spider-Man franchise, when you have more power you have more responsibility. We need public officials to demonstrate civility and to provide intelligent discourse that addresses the complex problems facing our society.

Chief Yates was also quoted as saying he intended to help “sink” The Sun. As a community, we benefit from the efforts of news organizations to keep us informed and to alert us to any abuse of power by our public officials. The press fulfills this duty when it reports

We expect more from public officials, whether they are elected or appointed. We expect them to use their positions to improve the community, not advance their own self-interests, and to set examples for all of us, especially our children. stories in ways that are accurate, truthful, balanced and without bias. In that capacity, the news media have been referred to as a “watchdog” and the Fourth Estate, meaning that journalists are part of the checks and balances we need to ensure democratic freedoms.

Because of this, we should be concerned when those in authority attempt to thwart the press from upholding this responsibility.

Apparently, Chief Yates took exception to some of the stories reported

by Crump. In reality, the news media sometimes make errors because reporting is a human enterprise. Anyone who has been the subject of a news story has probably found some fault in the reporting. Sometimes people are misquoted or factual errors are made.

In those cases, we should work with the news media to ensure corrections are made and facts are reported accurately.

We should not try to “sink” the news media, as Yates proposed, and destroy its important function in our society.

From our experience in training journalists, we know that writing a comprehensive, fair and balanced news story is a difficult task that requires training and skill.

As a community, we benefit from good reporting by our news media and civil discourse by our public officials. In fact, we would likely find more solutions to our problems if we all abided by communication principles that promoted ethical, civil and respectful discourse. We endorse the Credo for Ethical Communication espoused by the National Communication Association and share it with you to consider its application in your own communication practices.

We advocate truthfulness, accuracy, honesty and reason as essential to the integrity of communication.

We endorse freedom of expression, diversity of perspective and tolerance of dissent to achieve the informed and responsible decision making fundamental to a civil society.

We strive to understand and respect other communicators before evaluating and responding to their messages.

We promote access to communication resources and opportunities as necessary to fulfill human potential and contribute to the well-being of families, communities and society.

Please see SPEECH | A5

Letters Path of justice Thank you for following the path of justice concerning the Jonesboro Police Department. Also, your editorials show you are not fearful of the establishment in Jonesboro.

The state campaigns for the two top offices in the state — governor and senator — consists of terrible statements about the other. If the same statements were made by former police chief Michael Yates about anyone, he would have certainly been terminated.

Are the men running for the positions exempt from the standards expected from public servants? If the statements from any of these men were true, they would not be elected to any office.

Perhaps campaign dollars are showing that none of the men are worthy of the offices of governor and senator.

Larry Davis Jonesboro

SPJ stands up for The Sun Editor’s note: The following letter was written to Jonesboro Mayor Harold Perrin and is reprinted

here at the author’s request. It was written prior to former police chief Michael Yates’ resignation.

Re: Police Chief Mike Yates Dear Mayor Perrin: As representatives of the Society of Professional Journalists, the nation’s oldest and largest journalism organization, we are glad to see that you have taken concerns about Chief Mike Yates’ public behavior seriously enough to suspend him for 30 days without pay.

We also are impressed that you require Mr. Yates to write a public apology to The Jonesboro Sun and its former reporter, Sunshine Crump.

We sympathize with the difficulty you’ve faced in the days since this confrontation between your top law enforcement officer and your city’s daily newspaper became a topic of national interest. But we must emphasize that it’s clear to us that your police chief recklessly and publicly attacked the credibility and character of a reporter and threatened the economic wellbeing of a newspaper company.

Now that we’ve seen his Aug. 13 letter to the newspaper’s publisher expressing his concerns about the reporter’s accuracy, we understand Chief Yates’ frustration, but cannot condone how he expressed it on Please see LETTERS | A5

The new face of evil

As Hannah Arendt foresaw, we are once again up against the question of evil. An American photojournalist, James Foley, was presented to the camera and methodically decapitated. The instrument was not the ax reserved for royalty or the whooshing blade prompted by that reformer Joseph-Ignace Guillotin, but an ordinary looking knife. Death would be neither swift nor painless. This, somewhere in the bleached desert, was pure evil.

I used to not believe in evil. When Ronald Richard Reagan called the Soviet Cohen | Union “the evil empire,” I thought it was a dandy phrase but also a confession of ignorance. The word itself connotes something or someone diabolical — bad for the sake of bad.

The Soviet Union was bad, I conceded, but not for no reason. It was bad because it was insecure, occupying the flat, inviting, Eurasian plain, and because it had a different system

The decapitation of Foley and the depredations of the Islamic State are evil returned, evil that can be understood only as beyond understanding. It needs to be eliminated. of government that it dearly wanted to protect. Reagan had it right, though. The Soviet Union was evil.

Now we are facing a different type of evil. The Islamic State, in whose name Foley was beheaded, murders with abandon. It seems to love death the way the fascists once did. It is Sunni, so it massacres Shiites. It is radical Sunni, so it eliminates apostates. It is Muslim, so it kills Yazidis, a minority with a religion of its own, and takes, as plunder, their women as concubines. Men are laid in a ditch and shot in graves of their own making.

The Nazis are back — differently dressed, speaking a different language and murdering ostensibly for different reasons, but actually for the same — intolerance, hatred, excitement and just because they can. The

Islamic State’s behavior is beyond explication, not reacting as some suggest to the war in Iraq — although in time it will try to settle some scores with America — but murdering and torturing and enslaving because this is what it wants to do. It is both futile and tasteless to lay off blame on others — the West, the colonialists of old or the persistent Zionists — or to somehow find guilt in the actions of the rich or powerful because they are rich or powerful. You can blame the victim. You can even kill him.

In the weekend Financial Times newspaper, the British writer Martin Amis tackled the question that obsessed Arendt and so many others — the nature of evil and its ultimate personification, Hitler. Amis mentions some historians who have attempted to understand Hitler — none

of them succeeded — and settles finally on Primo Levi, the great Italian writer of the Holocaust who was sent to Auschwitz. It was there, when a guard “brutally snatched” away an icicle Levi had broken off to slake his thirst, that he asked in his poor German, “Warum?” The guard replied, “Hier ist kein warum.” — there is no why here. There was no why in all of Auschwitz.

Amis, too, has looked for the why.

His latest novel, “The Zone of Interest,” is about the Holocaust and he too cannot find a core of reason or explanation in the events that change our understanding of who we are.

All fall short. It’s as if they bump up against the camp’s electrified fence and, with a hideous sound, are evaporated. Amis leads us to Levi’s book “The Truce” and a passage he had not seen before. Levi had made his peace with not understanding. “Perhaps one cannot,” Levi wrote, “what is more one must not, understand what happened, because to understand is

If ISIS attacks again, what will U.S. do?

The Obama administration is reportedly considering airstrikes in Syria against the terrorist group ISIS. The New York Times quotes “a top national security adviser” to the president as saying the U.S. is “‘not going to be restricted by borders’ to protect its interests...”

What about American cities?

If ISIS attacks one or more U.S. cities, as it has Cal threatened to do, what Thomas | then? We can’t bomb ourselves. How would we counter a nosedive in the stock market or the ensuing chaos and fear?

The U.S. and Europe are vulnerable because of a false belief that we can somehow “convert” ideological and religious fundamentalists into pluralistic, tolerant people by exposing them to our way of life.

So we let them into our nations.

They build mosques, often with funding from Saudi Arabia, which practices and teaches a radical brand of Islam known as Wahhabism, and allow them to set up Islamic schools, at least some of which teach hatred of

What about American cities? If ISIS attacks one or more U.S. cities, as it has threatened to do, what then? We can’t bomb ourselves. How would we counter a nosedive in the stock market or the ensuing chaos and fear?

Jews, Christians and Western values.

France has seen its Muslim population explode to more than 8 million, and growing, according to the Gatestone Institute. It is the same in other European nations. While not all of these immigrants are terrorists, no doubt terrorists immigrated along with those looking for a better life, or were radicalized after arriving. Many Muslim immigrants have lived in isolation from Western cultures and values which their faith has taught them to hate.

According to the Pew Research Religion & Public Life Project, “the estimated share of legal Muslim immigrants entering the U.S. each year has roughly doubled, from about 5 percent of legal immigrants in 1992 to about 10 percent in 2012.”

While it is a diverse group with not all holding to the same ideology or hatred of the West, there are enough

radicals among them to constitute a clear and present danger. Groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) intimidate some politicians and the media with cries of “Islamophobia” whenever anyone warns of the radicals’ agenda.

As the Center for Immigration Studies points out, “Since the November 1990 assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane by an Egyptian, the immigrant Muslim community has been associated with a great number of violent incidents — all these even before the atrocities on September 11, 2001.

In its long history of immigration, the United States has never encountered so violent-prone and radicalized a community as the Muslims who have arrived since 1965.”

So, if even a small number of Muslim immigrants — or American citizens who have been radicalized by imams — attack a shopping mall,

killing and terrorizing shoppers, what will the president do? Will he treat it as a crime, “workplace violence,” or call it by its right name? Will civil libertarians have their way in opposing further surveillance of potential and actual radicals, deporting some and stripping others of their U.S. citizenship, if they travel to align themselves with ISIS fighters and try to return to the U.S.? Will they be allowed in?

They should be barred.

These and many other questions must be answered before another attack, which our leaders repeatedly warn is coming. Why is it coming?

Because presidents over several administrations have not done all they could to prevent it, preferring soft words to tough action. What will the current president do when the next attack comes? Will the public take matters into their own hands and fight back?

Vigilantes are the last thing we need, but they could rise up, if government fails to perform its constitutional duty to protect us from enemies, foreign and domestic.

social media.

A police chief should protect and serve the community, not intimidate and discredit its members.

Mr. Yates asserts he was exercising his First Amendment right of free expression, but the First Amendment exists to protect citizens from their government. As a police chief, Mr. Yates is a principal avatar of the government, and thus his free speech rights must be balanced with his public responsibilities.

Even so, the public

comments he made about Ms. Crump are potentially libelous in our view and exposed your city to litigation and possible financial penalties.

In a time when police departments across the country operate under heightened public scrutiny, your police chief’s behavior only adds fuel to the outrage many feel about police policies and practices.

We hope Chief Yates takes your public rebuke of his actions to heart, apologizes for his behavior and resolves to stop using his authority to bully others, includ-

ing journalists.

We also hope that the police department resumes operating in the spirit of openness required by the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.

Judges chide lawyers over gay marriage bans

BY MICHAEL TARM Associated Press

CHICAGO — Federal appeals judges bristled on Tuesday at arguments defending gay marriage bans in Indiana and Wisconsin, with one Republican appointee comparing them to now-defunct laws that once outlawed weddings between blacks and whites.

As the legal skirmish in the United States over same-sex marriage shifted to the three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, more than 200 people lined up hours before to ensure they got a seat at the much-anticipated hearing.

While judges often play devil’s advocate during oral arguments, the panel’s often-blistering questions for the defenders of the same-sex marriage bans could be a signal the laws may be in trouble —

at least at this step in the legal process.

Richard Posner, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981, hit the backers of the ban the hardest. He balked when Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General Timothy Samuelson repeatedly pointed to “tradition� as the underlying justification for barring gay marriage. “It was tradition to not allow blacks and whites to marry — a tradition that got swept away,� the 75-year-old judge said.

Prohibition of same-sex marriage, Posner said, derives from “a tradition of hate ... and savage discrimination� of homosexuals.

Attorneys general in both states asked the appellate court to permanently restore the bans, which were ruled unconstitutional in June. Its ruling could affect hundreds

Obama to award Medal of Honor to Civil War officer

BY NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A century and a half after his valiant death at the Battle of Gettysburg, a Union Army officer is being awarded the nation’s highest military decoration, thanks to a decades-long campaign by his descendants and Civil War buffs.

The White House announced Tuesday that President Barack Obama approved the Medal of Honor for 1st Lt. Alonzo H. Cushing, who was killed standing his ground against Pickett’s Charge during the pivotal, three-day Battle of Gettysburg.

Congress granted a special exemption last December for Cushing Cushing to receive the award posthumously since recommendations normally have to be made within two years of the act of heroism and the medal awarded within three years.

The White House also announced that Obama will award the medal in a ceremony on Sept. 15 to two Vietnam War soldiers who also received the congressional exemption — Army Command Sgt. Maj. Bennie G. Adkins and Army Spc. Donald P. Sloat.

The medal is given to members of the Armed Forces who risk their own life in an act of great personal bravery.

Cushing was born in Delafield, Wisconsin, raised in Fredonia, New York, and buried at his alma mater, West Point, after being killed on July 3, 1863, at age 22.

He commanded about 110 men and six cannons, defending the Union position on Cemetery Ridge against Pickett’s Charge, a major Confederate thrust that could have turned the tide in the war. Cushing received a bullet wound in the head.

The fierce battle near the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, resulted in more than 51,000 casualties.

of couples who married after lower courts tossed the bans and before those rulings were stayed pending the Chicago appeal.

Gay marriage is legal in 19 states as well as the District of Columbia, and advocates have won more than 20 court victories around the country since the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the federal government to recognize state-sanctioned gay marriages last year.

The Supreme Court has yet to take up a case, but Utah and Oklahoma’s cases were appealed to the high court and Virginia’s attorney general also asked the justices to weigh in. Appeals court rulings are pending for Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee, while appellate court hearings are scheduled next month for Hawaii, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada and is expected soon in Texas.

Police: Victim ID’d ex-deputy as her attacker

BY TODD RICHMOND Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. — A woman told police before she died that she had been shot by her brother-in-law, a newly retired Wisconsin sheriff’s deputy suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease, according to new court documents.

Andy Steele, a former Dane County Sheriff’s deputy, was arrested after the shooting at his home Friday that left his wife, Ashlee Steele, and her sister, Kacee Tollefsbol, dead. He hasn’t been charged yet, but according to investigators, Tollefsbol implicated him as her assailant twice before she died at the University of Wisconsin hospital in Madison.

Much about the attack, including what precipitated it, remains unclear.

Before her death, Ashlee Steele was credited with spearheading a drive to raise thousands of dollars toward Andy Steele’s medical care and other expenses. But a police affidavit released Tuesday offered new details about the immediate aftermath of the shootings.

According to the affidavit, Tollefsbol, 38, of Lake Elmo, Minnesota, called 911 at around 1 p.m. Friday from her sister’s home in Fitchburg, a Madison suburb of about 26,000 residents. She said her brother-inlaw had shot her in the back and she thought he must have shot himself because she heard two shots.

Officers found her in the basement, where she again said her brother-inlaw had shot her. She died shortly after arriving at the hospital.

Members of a sheriff’s department SWAT team found 39-year-old Ashlee Steele dead in the home. She had been shot in the head. They found Andrew Steele in a laundry room and a 9 mm pistol on the counter.

The affidavit said two rounds had been fired in the house. Police said Andrew Steele was treated at a hospital for injuries consistent with a suicide attempt.

Protesters march Aug. 15 down the middle of a street in front of a convenience store in Ferguson, Missouri, that was looted and burned following the shooting death of Michael Brown on Aug. 9. Demonstrators were demanding justice for the 18-year-old Brown, which they say can only be accomplished if Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson is charged and convicted for the shooting.

Federal prosecutions have challenges in police shootings

BY ERIC TUCKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — As the Justice Department probes the police shooting of an unarmed 18-year-old in Missouri, history suggests there’s no guarantee of a criminal prosecution, let alone a conviction.

Federal authorities investigating possible civil rights violations in the Aug. 9 death of Michael Brown in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson must meet a difficult standard of proof, a challenge that has complicated the path to prosecution in past police shootings.

To build a case, they would need to establish that the police officer, Darren Wilson, not only acted with excessive force but also willfully violated Brown’s constitutional rights. Though the Justice Department has a long history of targeting police misconduct, including after the 1991 beating of Rodney King, the high bar means that many high-profile police shootings that have raised public alarm never wound up in federal court. “It’s a very difficult standard to meet, and it really is satisfied only in the most egregious cases,� said University of Michigan law

More recently, the Justice Department did not charge either of the officers who shot and killed Miriam Carey, a 34-yearold woman who last year drove into a White House checkpoint and then led police on a car chase toward the U.S. Capitol. “Accident, mistake, fear, negligence and bad judgment do not establish such a criminal violation,� prosecutors wrote in explaining their decision in that case.

professor Samuel Bagenstos, the former No. 2 official in the department’s civil rights division. “Criminal enforcement of constitutional rights is not something that is easily pursued. It really requires building a case very carefully, very painstakingly.�

Federal prosecutors, for instance, declined to charge New York police officers who killed the unarmed Sean Bell in 2006 in a 50-shot barrage following his bachelor party in Queens.

Ground work begins for Brookland schools

BY SUNSHINE CRUMP Sun Staff Writer crump@jonesborosun.com

BROOKLAND — With the traffic study complete, ground work under way and school in session, first-year Brookland Public Schools superintendent Keith McDaniel said Tuesday things are up and running in his rapidly growing district.

“They are pouring the footings for the elementary addition this week,” said McDaniel “and they’re doing ground work on the pre-K and middle school sites.”

School traffic was rerouted because of the construction projects, and McDaniel said it has been surprisingly uneventful.

“It’s lot smoother than we

thought it would be,” McDaniel said. “We put in a makeshift drive behind the elementary school and that has helped a lot.”

School board members voted to move forward with a necessary construction-related traffic study in June.

McDaniel said the study was completed last month. “There were no recommendations that we do anything different,” he added.

With lots of students in portable buildings, McDaniel said the district’s main challenge is to get the construction done.

Brookland Mayor Kenneth Jones said the traffic study suggested at least one change — the addition of a 75-foot turn lane at the Arkansas 49 and School

Street intersection on the west side of Oak Street turning north.

Jones said the city has asked the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department to evaluate the study’s results because he believes the amount of traffic was underestimated.

“We don’t agree with the numbers their study showed,” Jones said. “We think there are more vehicles than what their study showed.”

Jones said until the highway department does a preliminary review, he won’t know whether there will be a charge for a full evaluation.

The school district asked the Please see BROOKLAND | A9

Police: Boyfriend assaulted woman, doused her in gas

BY DUSTIN AZLIN Sun Staff Writer dazlin@jonesborosun.com

The judge lowered the bond to $25,000 for each suspect.

In another probable cause hearing, Angela Marie Qualls, 23, of Bay, was accused of first-degree forgery and misdemeanor shoplifting after police said she tried to pay for a phone card with a counterfeit bill and left with the product before receiving change.

The incident happened Aug. 13 at Jordan’s Quick Stop on East Highland Drive. The employee said Qualls attempted to pay with a $100 bill that had “For Motion Picture Use Only” written on the bill.

As the employee examined the bill, she said Qualls left with the phone card. The employee was able to get the woman’s license plate information.

Police arrested Qualls on Monday.

She denied knowing the money was fake and asked for an attorney when

JONESBORO — A man accused of trying to set his girlfriend on fire at the beginning of August appeared in court Tuesday facing felonies from two different cases.

Michael James Walke, 27, 2313 Westacre Drive, was interviewed by police Friday morning about the two cases, according to a probable cause affidavit.

In the assault case, Walke’s girlfriend called police Aug. 8, two days after she said he doused her and the kitchen floor in gasoline and lit a fire.

The victim managed to get away from the spreading inferno before it climbed her fuel-soaked body. The kitchen floor wasn’t able to escape Walke the flames.

Police estimated the fire did about $500 worth of damage to the home.

The attempted arson began after the victim said they paid had been arguing and she threatened to burn his motorcycle.

She said he broke a window of her dad’s truck and went into a bedroom in the home to grab her clothes to burn.

Before he got to her garments, she stopped him. That’s when she said he went outside, grabbed a gas can and poured fuel over her in the kitchen, police said.

She told police Walke tried to douse the fire on the floor, but he couldn’t get it extinguished.

He fled after the victim was able to put the blaze out.

He told police Friday he didn’t start the fire.

He said his girlfriend set the blaze to get him in trouble.

Walke was accused in a separate case of stealing two bicycles and a vehicle bike rack worth about $2,900, according to a July 24 report filed by the victim.

Later that day, officers located the bikes. A witness nearby named Walke as the person who left one of them, according to an affidavit.

In his Friday interview with police, Walke admitted stealing the two bikes and rack. He said he sold one bike and the rack for $200.

Walke appeared Tuesday before Craighead County District Judge Keith Blackman, who said there was sufficient evidence to charge him with aggravated assault on a family or household member and criminal mischief in the first case. In the second, he found probable cause to charge Walke with theft of property $1,000 to

Vehicle break-in suspects appear in court

BY DUSTIN AZLIN Sun Staff Writer dazlin@jonesborosun.com

JONESBORO — Two men appeared in court Tuesday accused of almost 40 felonies each following a police investigation into multiple vehicle break-ins across the city.

Lane Fears, 18, 2101A Windwood Circle, Apt. A6, and John A. Faughn, 20, address unavailable, were arrested about an hour apart Aug. 20 after an investigation into 30 vehicle break-ins reported to Jonesboro police, according to a probable cause affidavit.

While police were looking into the string of thefts, Faughn and Fears were developed as suspects, Jonesboro Detective Chad Hogard said.

The pair were accused of stealing at least six guns during the thefts. In one of the cases reported to police, a victim lost more than $16,000 worth of property.

During an interview, Fears admit-

ted participating in the break-ins.

He told police he had been trying to locate some of the weapons’ owners after he learned Faughn knew one of the victims, according to the affidavit.

Faughn asked for an attorney during his interview. A search of his car netted officers some of the property Faughn admitted were stolen.

Both suspects appeared before Craighead County District Judge Keith Blackman on Tuesday.

The judge said there was sufficient evidence to charge each with 30 counts of breaking or entering a vehicle, six counts of theft of a firearm and one count of theft between $5,000 and $25,000.

Both suspects are slated to appear in circuit court Sept. 26.

A $75,000 temporary bond was set for the pair after their arrest. Hogard told the judge he didn’t mind if that bond was lowered because the investigation was winding down.

Bay counselor receives state awards

BY SARAH MORRIS Sun Staff Writer smorris@jonesborosun.com

Jodi Cobb (left), Bay High School principal, talks with counselor Lisa Oppenheim Tuesday afternoon. Oppenheim is the recipient of the Arkansas Association for Career and Technical Education’s Career Guidance of the Year award and the Arkansas Association of Teachers of Family and Consumer Sciences’ Career Guidance award.

BAY — A ninth-grade counselor helped Lisa Oppenheim improve academically, learn to “step out of the box” and decide she, too, wanted to help others.

“She inspired me to follow my interests and use my talents,” said Oppenheim, a guidance counselor at Bay High School. “It was at this time that I wanted to make a difference and become that inspiration to others.”

Two state organizations are now honoring Oppenheim for her dedication to helping Bay youth.

She is this year’s recipient of the Arkansas Association for Career and Technical Educa-

tion’s Career Guidance of the Year award and the Arkansas Association of Teachers of Family and Consumer Sciences’ Career Guidance award.

“It’s very exciting,” she said.

“It was just an honor to be nominated by a coworker.

They’re really not my awards, but all the people I work with.”

The awards honor educators who “have made significant contributions to innovative, unique and novel programs and have shown a professional commitment.”

English teacher Una Mae Brown recommended her for the awards, saying one encompassing word for Oppenheim would be “committed.”

“Perhaps the most desirable quality she demonstrates is

her consistent concern for our students: their success here at school now and for their future,” Brown said in the recommendation. “She makes the most of each opportunity to point them to their potential. If a student has need — physical, family, academic, etc., — Lisa will be going the extra mile to meet that need.”

Oppenheim, a Blytheville native, originally began as an elementary teacher with the goal of fulfilling a two-year teaching requirement so she could then train to become a counselor.

“However, two years soon became 14 years,” Oppenheim said. “To step back into college was more difficult and

Firm kicks disaster plan into gear

BY DUSTIN AZLIN Sun Staff Writer dazlin@jonesborosun.com

JONESBORO — The process to get Craighead County’s disaster mitigation plan federally approved has gained steam as engineers from a Memphis firm have come to the county to help coordinate.

Fisher Arnold Engineering Integration of Memphis is helping the county draft the plan, which allows entities to apply for grant money tied to federal declared disasters.

Craighead County’s plan lapsed in August 2013, and the county hasn’t had an approved plan since then.

Project Manager Rachael Bailey and Grant Administrator Vic Young with the firm met with the county judge’s office, city mayors and representatives from the Jonesboro Police Department and E-911 Dispatch to begin work on the plan.

Bailey told those assembled at Monday

morning’s meeting that the first step was for all the jurisdictions to begin forming teams so that each area will have representation in the process.

Each city, school district and county must be vetted for possible needs to be included in the plan, which is a guide for different entities on prevention of disasters such as tornadoes or earthquakes.

The plan spells out sustainable action officials can make that will reduce or eliminate long-term risks to the different areas in the county.

Examples of items in the plans include outreach programs to spread risk awareness, protection projects that help safeguard critical structures and other items that aim to help the county and residents prepare for emergencies.

Bailey said the first step once teams are formed is to begin thinking of all the possible structures or areas that need inclusion in the plan, such as protect-

ing a building with court records or shoring up a levee to prevent its collapse.

The engineering firm is no stranger to crafting disaster plans, and is currently working with Memphis officials on crafting a plan there.

In Tennessee, the state requires the plan be in place. The documents aren’t allowed to expire.

That’s not the case in Arkansas. The state leaves it up to the individual counties to craft the plan and doesn’t require it to be approved.

Once the cities, counties, schools and emergency responders form their teams, work can begin on drafting the meat of the disaster plan.

Brookland Mayor Kenneth Jones expressed concern about the smaller cities and their ability to divert resources to crafting a plan.

He worried he didn’t have enough staff to divert from city business to effectively work on the project.

County Judge Assistant Tony Thomas said he understood Jones’ reservations and said the county would be willing to help any of the jurisdictions in the plan drafting process.

The plan is a hundredpage-plus document that Bailey said often takes two years to work on.

It is a five-year plan, and Bailey said work normally starts on it two years before the current one lapses. She said it was a complicated process involving engineering firms at the state and federal level.

Eventually, citizens in each of the areas will be allowed to participate.

Bailey said the federal government shied away from community involvement in the past, but now there is a push to include everyone’s voice.

E-911 Director Jeff Presley said involving the public was an important piece of the puzzle, and he recommended all the cities schedule town hall meetings to enlist public opinion on needs.

A-State ROTC partners with Harding University JONESBORO — Arkansas State University’s ROTC program will partner with Harding University, according to Lt. Col. Cecil L. Clark, A-State’s professor of military science.

The partnership was announced after A-State’s ROTC officials met with Harding President Bruce McLarty, then requested the partnership to provide military science courses on Harding’s campus through the 5th ROTC

Brigade at Joint Base San Antonio.

With nearly 7,000 students, Harding is a private, Christian liberal arts university in Searcy.

ROTC class instruction will be a shared responsibility between the cadre based out of A-State ROTC’s Beebe program and those from the main campus at Jonesboro.

Lt. Col. Greg Stanger, an assistant professor of military science and a full-time Arkansas Army

National Guard member, will be the primary instructor for freshman and sophomore classes.

Captain Bradley Dieutto, assistant professor of military science, will instruct junior cadets.

Faculty and staff from Jonesboro will continue to conduct weekly assistance visits to augment cadre and support leadership labs and field training.

“Both Harding University officials and students

more fearful than I originally thought. I finally found the courage to take that first step.

I was 36 years old, a full-time employee, a wife and the mother of two young girls.”

Oppenheim discovered her passion — career lifestyle development — during her first semester back in school. As a school counselor, she said she addresses three areas with students: personal-social, academic and career.

“I admit that I have a love for the career part of my job,” she said. “I take advantage of every opportunity to talk to the students about their future. I feel that the goal of high school is to prepare the students once they step out into the real world.”

She tries to “make the most out of even the smallest interaction. A simple schedule change always turns into something bigger.”

Once licensed as a counselor, Oppenheim served one year as a K-12 counselor at Weiner before she was hired at Bay. She is in her fifth year.

Her main goal is to strengthen Bay High School’s school counseling program with the first year spent learning the school and its students as well as building her professional relationship within the school and with other counselors.

are motivated to ensure this mutually beneficial relationship is successful,” Clark said. “ROTC brings premier leadership training and career opportunities, as well as scholarships and other benefits.”

A-State’s ROTC program has a 78-year history of producing topquality leaders who are commissioned into the active-duty Army, Army National Guard, or Army Reserve.

Hergets endowing scholarship to A-State College of Business JONESBORO — A local business couple, Ted and Amanda Herget, have endowed a full scholarship for Arkansas State University’s College of Business through their local business, Gearhead Outfitters.

It marks the first-ever full tuition scholarship in the College of Business, which supports the departments of accounting, computer and information technology, economics and finance, and management and marketing.

It also includes the Delta Center for Economic Development, which coordinates the economic development outreach services at AState.

“Our motto has been, ‘You support the community and the community supports you,’” Ted Harget said. “I’m a Jonesboro boy, and the community has been good to me. Arkansas State is as good as any university. We need these kids to stay here.

Jonesboro is a great town, and it takes young people to mold it.”

Amanda Harget said the couple and their staff are all Arkansas State graduates, and the endowment was a group effort.

The Hergets have six Gearhead Outfitters business locations including the Cycle House on Main Street that includes bicycles sales, care and safety products and clothing. The other is located in Jonesboro’s Turtle Creek Mall. There are two locations in Lit-

tle Rock, one in Rogers and one in Shreveport, La. “We’re very proud of the education we received here,” Amanda noted. “We want to help someone else along. I did have to get student loans, and it would have been nice to have a fullride scholarship.”

The first full-time Gearhead Outfitters scholarship will be awarded in the fall semester of 2015.

To be eligible for the scholarship, the recipient must be a full-time junior or senior student in good academic standing.

Applicants must submit a full resume, must be a College of Business major, and must have a minimum 3.5 grade point average.

The award is good for one year. The recipient is selected by the College of Business Scholarship Committee in consultation with the Hergets.

Shane Hunt, the college’s dean, said the endowment is a “transformative gift” to the college that will have an impact on our students and on generations of their families to come as it is a transformative gift for the College of Business.”

“What I appreciate so much is that the Hergets took the success they have,” Hunt said, “and have given that back to help the next generation — the next Ted and Amanda — and that spirit of giving permeates what we are trying to do in the College of Business at Arkansas State.”

THEFTS programs, such as a “Look Out World, Here I Come” folder to help seniors through their final year in high school as they prepare for the future; a “Reality Check” visit to senior English classes to help students prepare, and a “Step-Up Day” for seventh-graders to be introduced to the various aspects of high school.

Oppenheim said the school counseling program is far from complete, but is has become stronger with one goal met at graduation last year.

Thirty-one of Bay’s 34 graduates were designated as completers in the school’s Career and Technical Programs.

The focus this year is on the school’s parent night meetings.

Oppenheim is also involved at First United Methodist Church, St. Bernards Tobacco Coalition, Arkansas State University’s advisory board for guidance counselors and a variety of professional organizations.

Brown said Oppenheim’s devotion to helping not only the school district, but the community, is a benefit to all.

“Perhaps this is the basis of her high expectations for herself in all areas,” Brown said.

“She is not a ‘take the easy way’ person but is determined to do her best and push for even more. … Her high standards inspire those working with her.”

a detective pressed her on the issue.

Blackman found sufficient evidence to proceed with the two charges. She is slated to appear in court Sept. 26, and her bond was set at $1,500.

Another hearing before the judge saw a woman accused of theft more than $25,000 and 79 counts of second-degree forgery after police said she forged checks from a woman she was tasked with caring for earlier this year.

Sharon Denise Yarbrough, 54, 495 Craighead Road 319, was arrested Monday accused of multiple check forgeries.

Police alleged she and an accomplish forged 79 checks on the victims’ account for a total amount of $46,650.

Officers interviewed Yarbrough and the woman admitted her and an accomplice would split the money any time she cashed one of the checks.

Blackman said there was sufficient evidence to charge her with the 80 felonies.

She is slated to appear in court Sept. 26.

Yarbrough had no criminal history and strong family ties to the community so Blackman agreed to release her on her own recognizance.

Probe: Delays in VA care didn’t cause deaths

BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Government investigators found no proof that delays in care caused veterans to die at a Phoenix VA hospital, but they found widespread problems that the Veterans Affairs Department is promising to fix.

Investigators uncovered large-scale improprieties in the way VA hospitals and clinics across the nation have been scheduling veterans for appointments, according to a report released Tuesday by the VA’s Office of Inspector General.

The report said workers falsified waitlists while their supervisors looked the other way or even directed it, resulting in chronic delays for veterans seeking care.

“Inappropriate scheduling practices are a nationwide systemic problem,” said the report by Richard Griffin, the VA’s acting inspector general. “These practices became systemic because (the Veterans Health Administration) did not hold senior headquarters and facility leadership responsible and accountable.”

The report could deflate an explosive allegation that helped launch the scandal in the spring: that as many as 40 veterans died while awaiting care at the Phoenix VA hospital.

Investigators identified 40 patients who died while awaiting appointments in Phoenix.

But, the report said: “While the case reviews in this report document poor quality of care, we are unable to conclusively assert

Can Ferguson help change the ‘ritual’ of black deaths?

BY JESSE WASHINGTON AP National Writer

FERGUSON, Mo. — The choir sang, the preachers shouted and the casket stayed closed. The body was taken to the cemetery, and Michael Brown was laid to rest.

Thus went the most recent enactment of “the ritual” — the script of death, outrage, spin and mourning that America follows when an unarmed black male is killed by police.

With a few variations, the ritual has followed its familiar course in the two weeks since the 18-yearold Brown was shot by white police officer Darren Wilson in this St. Louis suburb. It continues as we await the judgment of a grand jury considering whether or not Wilson should be charged with a crime.

Will the ritual ever change, and is it even possible that Ferguson could be part of that? This time, can recognition of the well-known patterns help heal the poisonous mistrust between police and many black people?

Is the ritual already helping, in small gains buried beneath the predictable explosions of anger and media attention?

“This tragedy, because the world’s attention has been galvanized, this is one of those things that’s ripe for change,” said Martin Luther King III after the funeral Monday.

“There are no guarantees, but what we can say is we have to be committed to doing the work to bring about change and justice.”

The ritual began to take shape in the 1960s, when instances of police mistreatment of black people led to organized resistance in many places across America — and sometimes to violence.

As the decades passed, a blueprint developed for how black advocates confronted cases of alleged police brutality: protest marches, news conferences, demands for federal intervention, public pressure by sympathetic elected officials.

Sometimes this led to charges or even convictions of police officers.

Sometimes there were riots: Miami in 1980 after police were acquitted in the death of a black motorist; Los Angeles’ Rodney King rebellion in 1992; Cincinnati in 2001 when a 19-year-old was fatally shot by an officer; Oakland’s uprising in 2009 after Oscar Grant was shot in the back while face-down on a train plat-

form.

The 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watchman in Florida added the transformative element of social media. The public was now participating much more intimately in the ritual.

And still, the unarmed black males kept dying.

The chants of “No Justice, No Peace” kept rising.

So what happened after Brown was shot on Aug. 9 was predictable: First, protests and outrage. A narrative forms in favor of the deceased: According to accounts of several witnesses from Brown’s neighborhood, he was shot with his hands up. He was a “gentle giant” headed to college. Pictures of Brown circulate that show him smiling, baby-faced — reminiscent of the childlike photos that first introduced us to Trayvon Martin.

The day after Brown’s shooting, protesters are met with a militarized police response. Violence and looting erupt, and persist for days. Police respond with tear gas and rubber bullets, “scenes that have brought back visions of the 1960s when civil rights activists were met with force in the streets,” says the president of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, La June Montgomery Tabron.

“This has become an all-too-familiar scenario in America,” Tabron says in a statement.

Michael Brown’s death goes viral. Ferguson trends on Twitter. A horde of media descends.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson arrive.

“Events surrounding the killing of unarmed teenager Michael Brown look all too familiar. As Yogi Berra would put it, it’s ‘deja vu, all over again,’” reads a column

by Bill Press in the Daily Journal of Marietta, Georgia.

A backlash builds against the protesters.

There are complaints that the liberal media skew the facts to create a false narrative about racist white police. As with Trayvon Martin and Oscar Grant, a narrative forms against the deceased: Based on a video released by police, Brown is characterized as a weed-smoking thug who robbed a store minutes before his death.

“Every time a black person does something, they automatically become a thug worthy of their own death,” the actor Jesse Williams says in a TV appearance.

The Phoenix VA Health Care Center is shown in April in Phoenix. The Department of Veterans Affairs says investigators have found no proof that delays in care caused any deaths at the hospital, deflating an explosive allegation that helped expose a troubled health care system in which veterans waited months for appointments while employees falsified records to cover up the delays. that the absence of timely quality care caused the deaths of these veterans.”

Top VA officials said the report’s findings were troubling.

“I’m glad that veterans didn’t die because of delays in care, or at least they

weren’t able to conclude that they did,” Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said in an interview. “But the fundamental issue is, veterans are waiting too long, and that’s the problem we’ve got to face.”

Addressing the American Legion’s national convention in Charlotte, N.C., President Barack Obama said lengthy wait times and attempts to hide scheduling flaws were “outrageous and inexcusable.”

“We are very clear-eyed about the problems that are still there,” Obama said. “And those problems require us to regain the trust of our veterans and live up to our vision of a VA that is more effective and more efficient and that truly puts veterans first. And I will not be satisfied until that happens.”

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Egypt and the United Arab Emirates secretly carried out airstrikes against Islamist militias inside Libya, the United States publicly acknowledged Tuesday, another sharp jolt to American-led attempts over the past three years to stabilize Libya after dictator Moammar Gadhafiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overthrow.

One official said Egypt, the UAE and Saudi Arabia for months have been supporting a renegade generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign against Libyan militant groups, but that the Saudis donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to have played a role in recent strikes. The Libyan government is too weak and disorganized to fight the militants itself.

Another official said the U.S. was aware that Egypt and UAE were planning strikes and warned them against it. Neither U.S. ally notified Washington before launching the strikes, officials said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Outside interference in Libya exacerbates current divisions and undermines Libyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s democratic transition,â&#x20AC;? State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters. She said Libya was in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very fragile place.â&#x20AC;?

But U.S.-led international efforts to secure the country clearly are fraying as impatience in the region grows. Libya is undergoing its worst violence since rebels ousted Gadhafi in 2011. Tripoliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international airport is largely destroyed and diplomats, foreign nationals and thousands of Liby-

ans have fled. The U.S. embassy there is closed, nearly two years after the U.S. ambassador was killed while visiting Benghazi.

Since then, powerful militias have seized power and the central government has proved unable to create a strong police force or unified military.

In recent months, Islamist fighters have confronted a backlash, losing their power in parliament and facing a counteroffensive by former Gadhafi and rebel Gen. Khalifa Hifter. Washington doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support the general. But some of Libyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbors, fearful of the growing power of the Islamist extremists, are helping him.

Although Britain, France, Germany and Italy joined the U.S. in expressing their concerns about the airstrikes, Egyptian officials denied involvement and the Emiratis havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commented.

The airstrikes reflect growing international division, with Egypt and the UAE, two of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most powerful, anti-Islamist governments, deciding they needed to act to prevent Libya from becoming a failed state and a breeding ground for jihadist activity throughout the Arab world.

A U.S. official said recent airstrikes were done without authorization from Libyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government. The officials werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t authorized to speak publicly on the matter and demanded anonymity. The Egyptian and UAE role in the strikes was first reported by The New York Times.

No sign of quick end to Ukraine conflict

BY NATALIYA VASILYEVA AND PETER LEONARD Associated Press

MINSK, Belarus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ukraineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president said Wednesday that Vladimir Putin accepts the principles of a peace plan for Ukraine but the Russian leader insisted that only Kiev can reach a cease-fire deal with the pro-Moscow separatists.

Following meetings between Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that included a one-on-one session that stretched into the night, there was no indication of a quick end to the fighting that has engulfed eastern Ukraine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not our business,â&#x20AC;? Putin said of any cease-fire plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is Ukraineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business.â&#x20AC;?

Russia â&#x20AC;&#x153;can only help to create an atmosphere of trust for this important and necessary process,â&#x20AC;?

Putin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We in Russia cannot talk about any conditions for the ceasefire, about any agreements between Kiev, Donetsk, Luhansk,â&#x20AC;? the two rebel regions.

Although Poroshenko told reporters that he had secured support for a peace plan from leaders who attended the summit and Putin called the sessions â&#x20AC;&#x153;overall positive,â&#x20AC;? the first substantial encounter between the two leaders did not produce a breakthrough in efforts to end the fighting.

If anything, there were signs of spreading violence. For the past two days, heavy shelling hit an

area of southeast Ukraine that had escaped the intense fighting of recent weeks, and Ukrainian officials said the pro-Russia separatists it has been battling were aiming to open a new front.

The meeting in the Belarusian capital, Minsk, also came on the same day that Ukraine said it captured 10 Russian soldiers who had come over the border.

Putin did not directly address the allegation but appeared to tacitly recognize it and suggested that the soldiers simply had become lost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t received a report from the defense ministry and the general staff yet, but the first thing I have heard is that that they were patrolling the border and may have found themselves on the Ukrainian territory,â&#x20AC;? Putin said.

Shortly after becoming president in June, Poroshenko put forth a peace plan that included an amnesty for those not accused of serious crimes and called for some decentralization of power to the region.

Early Wednesday, he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can say that the logic of this peaceful plan was finally supported by all, without exclusion, of the heads of state,â&#x20AC;? according to the Interfax news agency.

However, Putin said there was no specific talk about implementing a cease-fire because Russia is not a party to the conflict.

UN panel: Global warming human-caused

BY SETH BORENSTEIN

Today’s Highlights in History:

Associated Press

On August 27, 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson accepted his party’s nomination for a term in his own right, telling the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey, “Let us join together in giving every American the fullest life which he can hope for.” The Walt Disney movie musical fantasy “Mary Poppins,” starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, premiered at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

Comedian Gracie Allen, the wife of George Burns, died in Los Angeles.

On this date: In 1776, the Battle of Long Island began during the Revolutionary War as British troops attacked American forces, who ended up being forced to retreat two days later.

In 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa erupted with a series of cataclysmic explosions; the resulting tidal waves in Indonesia’s Sunda Strait claimed some 36,000 lives in Java and Sumatra.

In 1967, Brian Epstein, manager of The Beatles, was found dead in his London flat from an overdose of sleeping pills; he was 32.

In 1979, British war hero Lord Louis Mountbatten and three other people, including his 14-yearold grandson Nicholas, were killed off the coast of Ireland in a boat explosion claimed by the Irish Republican Army.

In 1989, the first U.S. commercial satellite rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida — a Delta booster carrying a British communications satellite, the Marcopolo 1.

Let us clean it up!

WASHINGTON — Global warming is here, human-caused and probably already dangerous — and it’s increasingly likely that the heating trend could be irreversible, a draft of a new international science report says.

The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on Monday sent governments a final draft of its synthesis report, which combines three earlier, gigantic documents by the Nobel Prize-winning group.

There is little in the report that wasn’t in the other more-detailed versions, but the language is more stark and the report attempts to connect the different scientific disciplines studying problems caused by the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas.

The 127-page draft, obtained by The Associated Press, paints a harsh warning of what’s causing global warming and what it will do to humans and

Associated Press

Flash flooding from the overrun Skunk Creek flood Interstate 10 in northwestern Phoenix on Aug. 19. Global warming is human-caused and can be considered dangerous, according to a new international science report. the environment. It also describes what can be done about it.

“Continued emission of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and long-lasting changes in all components of the climate system, increasing the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems,” the report says. The final report will be issued after governments and scientists go over the draft line by line in an October con-

ference in Copenhagen.

Depending on circumstances and values, “currently observed impacts might already be considered dangerous,” the report says. It mentions extreme weather and rising sea levels, such as heat waves, flooding and droughts. It even raises, as an earlier report did, the idea that climate change will worsen violent conflicts and refugee problems and could hinder efforts to grow more food. And ocean acidi-

fication, which comes from the added carbon absorbed by oceans, will harm marine life, it says.

In 2009, countries across the globe set a goal of limiting global warming to about another 2 degrees Fahrenheit above current levels. But the report says that it is looking more likely that the world will shoot past that point.

Limiting warming to that much is possible but would require dramatic and immediate cuts in carbon dioxide pollution.

A-State announces stadium expansion

BY MATTHEW V. ROBERSON Sun sports writer mroberson@jonesborosun.com

JONESBORO — Arkansas State is expanding Centennial Bank Stadium, and the Red Wolves’ first game in the stadium once the work is complete will be against the University of Missouri.

ASU announced the largest single gift in school history of $5 million by alumnus and former football player Johnny Allison during a press conference at Centennial Bank Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.

Along with the announcement, ASU athletic director Terry Mohajir revealed the Red Wolves will open the 2015 season in the updated facility against the Missouri Tigers.

Mohajir’s revelation put to rest speculation the game might be moved to St. Louis after he considered an offer to play it in Busch Stadium.

Mohajir said it was a great day for Arkansas State and its football program as it uses the donation and recent athletic success to help develop the school as a whole.

“It’s another exciting day at Arkansas State, right?” Mohajir said. “Guess what? It’s not the last. I can tell you that — it’s not the last. We’re excited to announce the Centennial Bank expansion today.”

The project includes renovations and the expansion for the stadium’s press box and concourse, and will cover approximately 39,673 feet.

Among the various improvements to the press box will be its expansion to more than 35,000 square feet. It will be redesigned to include 40 loge boxes, 20 suites and 300 club seats.

The loge boxes will seat four persons per box while the suites

will seat 22 persons each. Club seating will include around 8090 outdoor seats and more than 200 indoor seats.

Total seating capacity for the upgraded areas will be approximately 870, and the facility will expand in size from one 15-yard line to the other.

The new press box will also include enhanced media and broadcasting capabilities, new coaches boxes, a new control booth and new camera areas along with a visiting athletic director suite.

On the concourse level, the stadium will get improvements in several areas, including new restrooms and concessions along with new gating and ticketing areas. There will also be a new commissary and team store on the concourse.

Mohajir said the number of restrooms will double from 22 to 44 in the first phase of the project alone.

ASU Chancellor Tim Hudson thanked the Allison family for the sizable gift and said it will keep the school moving forward.

“The generosity of Johnny Allison and his family is going to help us keep, maintain and sustain our momentum,” Hudson said. “Momentum is a word I hear a lot when I hear people talk about Arkansas State University. It’s going to transform the fan experience here and help us continue to become a destination university.”

Allison, who graduated from ASU with a business degree in 1969, said he’d always wanted to give something back to the school he played football for.

After building a highly successful manufactured home business, Allison Manufactured Homes, Allison moved into the banking sector. He is currently the Chairman of the Board and

“There’s something to be said for giving back, and this is my home,” Allison told a large gathering at the stadium. “I was born and raised here, I played football here and I graduated from Arkansas State University … I wanted to give back. I wanted to help this program get kick-started.”

Westside sweeps away Nettleton

BY BEN COWENS Sun staff writer

Staci Vandagriff | The Sun

Westside’s Hannah Dorton (13) and Nettleton’s Leah Carter battle at the net during Tuesday night’s high school volleyball match at Warrior Gym. Westside won the season opener for both teams in three games.

JONESBORO — Julie Tubbs and Vickie Davis stepped out of the offseason fog Tuesday night with high expectations for their respective volleyball teams, but no regularseason data to support or refute those feelings.

After the action at Warrior Gym, one coach was pleasantly surprised, while the other admitted there was much work to be done.

In the season-opener for both teams, Tubbs’ squad from Westside pulled out a 25-21, 26-24, 25-16 victory over Davis’ Nettleton Lady Raiders.

For the Lady Warriors (1-0), the straight-set victory was a welcomed beginning to a season filled with promise.

“I think all in all they did a great job,” Tubbs said. “At times we got a little shaky but I think all in all we kept our composure. We stayed strong and were able to work together. Everybody did their job and we were able to get it done, very happy about that.”

On the other bench, Davis remained confident of her young team’s talent, but dubious of its first performance.

“I’m a little shocked right now,” Davis said. “I felt like we have the potential to do what we need to do and sometimes we just don’t execute. And that’s my fault. That falls on me.

“I was a little disappointed in their effort,” she added moments later.

“I’ve seen them play lights out… So I know they can.

I have every bit of faith in them that they can pull this out and turn it around.”

Regardless of the gap in the coaches’ perception of Tuesday night’s proceedings, the action on the court was rather even — at least for the first two sets.

Nettleton controlled the lead for about 85 percent of the first set before falling in the final points, and then roared back from a substantial deficit to grab set point in the second set, only to see it slip away.

Nettleton’s inexperienced lineup showed its athleticism and talent, but didn’t close on the big points. In the match, Westside won seven of the 10 points contested when both teams had at least 21 points on the scoreboard.

In the first game Nettle-

ton led 21-17 before Westside mounted the comeback behind the serve of Jessica Baker and the hitting of Emily Simmons.

Baker helped the Lady Warriors close with seven straight points, and Simmons had two big kills in a row to give Westside its first lead of the game at 22-21.

“Whenver you get past that point and you finally get ahead it’s like a sigh of relief,” Tubbs said. “In you’re mind you start thinking, ‘I’ve got a chance.’ That mentality increased and I think that helped us out.”

Westside followed with a strong start in set No. 2 and led 21-15 before Nettleton roared back.

Seminole playmakers clip Raiders in benefit scrimmage

BY CORY CLARK Sun Staff Writer cclark@jonesborosun.com

OSCEOLA — Nettleton’s playmakers made some plays in Tuesday’s senior high benefit football game. Osceola’s playmakers made a few more.

Osceola snapped a twoyear losing skid in its annual benefit game with Nettleton, scoring all of its points in the second and third quarters in a 26-13 victory over the Raiders at

Seminole Stadium.

The game featured a first half with normal clock operation and a continuously running clock for the second half.

Osceola held a 12-7 lead at halftime and scored two more touchdowns in the third quarter to lead 26-7.

Nettleton tacked on a touchdown in the final 30 seconds to set the final score.

Second-year Nettleton head coach Steven

Hampton said his team did some good things, and some not-so-good things.

“I thought our effort was good. We made some mistakes early with a couple of snaps that were off on third downs and that’s first-time jitters, and it’s good to get that out of the way,” Hampton said. “I thought defensively those guys flew around and played hard. We had a couple of busts but it was things that we could fix,

so overall I think we did some good things.”

Nettleton senior quarterback Jaylin Small looked good running the ball as he finished the scrimmage with 52 yards and a touchdown. Small’s numbers would have been even better if not for a couple of big losses behind the line of scrimmage.

Small went 4-for-7 passing for a net total of one yard due to a couple

of plays that lost yardage.

Junior Joe Frazier added 48 yards rushing on nine carries for Nettleton and senior Landon Lenear looked good late in the game as he added 31 yards on four carries.

Seminole senior Tevin James put an all-around game on display, rushing for 28 yards; hauling in two passes for 34 yards, including a 25-yard touchdown; and intercepting a pass on defense. He also

had a 66-yard punt return touchdown called back because of a block in the back that he didn’t even need.

Osceola quarterback Harold Weeden was 5-for7 passing for 84 yards and two touchdowns, while four Seminoles rushed for more than 30 yards on the night.

Coming into the season, Osceola coach Russell Please see RAIDERS | B3

Daughdrill, Belk medal JONESBORO — Paragould’s boys and Nettleton’s girls walked away with victories Tuesday at Sage Meadows Country Club.

Paragould’s team score of 175 bested Greene County Tech (180) and Nettleton (184) in Tuesday’s trimatch. Eli Williams fired a 40 and Payden Barnes a 43 in the win for the Rams. Nettleton’s Brett Daughdrill was the medalist with his score of 38. Clay Smith and Heath Wilcox shot 47 in support. Greene County Tech’s Jace Camp shot a 42 and Banks Harris added a 45.

In the girls’ match Nettleton shot 131 in the count-3 format and easily outdistanced Paragould’s 183.

Kristyn Belk’s excellent round of 38 was the best of the day, and her Nettleton teammates Tabitha Hudspeth (45) and Bethany Lenards (48) also broke 50.

Davis’ homer in 8th lifts Pirates over Cardinals

BY WILL GRAVES Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny didn’t mind the odds when he decided to let reliever Seth Maness face Pittsburgh pinch-hitter Ike Davis with two on in the eighth inning of a tie game on Tuesday night.

“I like Seth’s chances right there,” Matheny said.

“We’ll take our chances making a good pitch.”

With a bad pitch, not so much.

Davis took a belt-high changeup from Maness and sent it into the last row of seats in right-center for a tiebreaking, three-run homer that lifted the Pirates to a 5-2 win.

“We got into a good count, had a couple real nice pitches and left one up in the middle,” Matheny said. “That’s not going to turn out well.”

Davis took exception with a called strike from Maness (5-3) that made it 1-2. He watched a ball in the dirt before sinking his bat into an 84 mph offspeed pitch that turned into his ninth homer of the season.

“I cleared my head when I got in the box and tried to have a good at bat the rest of the time,” Davis said. “He kind of left it a little higher than he wanted and I got a piece of it.”

The Cardinals were overwhelmed for six innings by Pittsburgh starter Gerrit Cole but tied it in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Jon Jay and an RBI single from Randal Grichuk off reliever Tony Watson (9-1).

St. Louis was trying for a repeat of a 3-2 win on Tuesday night, when the Cardinals went silent against starter Francisco Liriano only to tag reliever

Jared Hughes. Not this time. Pittsburgh closer Mark Melancon allowed one runner in the ninth but otherwise had little trouble in picking up his 23rd save.

The Pirates won after star center fielder Andrew McCutchen left in the fifth inning because of discomfort in his left ribs. Recently on the disabled list because of a rib problem, he ran into the wall earlier in the game.

“Today caught up to him in a couple of different ways,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of the reigning NL MVP. “Tonight got to be a point where we didn’t think we needed to push any farther than he did.”

Josh Harrison homered off in the fifth off St. Louis starter Lance Lynn, who gave up two runs on six innings, walking three and striking out three.

Malzahn: Johnson will start for Auburn at QB

BY JOHN ZENOR Associated press

AUBURN, Ala. — Jeremy Johnson will be No. 6 Auburn’s starting quarterback against Arkansas, and Nick Marshall will play in the game at some point.

That’s about all Tigers coach Gus Malzahn would say about the situation on Tuesday. He had previously said Marshall and cornerback Jonathon Mincy would not start the opener after legal issues over the summer.

Malzahn didn’t give a hint on when Marshall will take his first snap on Saturday but said that “we have a plan and they know the plan.”

Previously, he hadn’t even acknowledged that Johnson would open the

game but said the sophomore has known for some time.

The dual-threat Marshall led Auburn to the Southeastern Conference championship and national title game last season after transferring

from junior college. He passed for 1,976 yards and ran for 1,068, accounting for 26 touchdowns and directing the first SEC offense to lead the nation in rushing.

Josh Holsey will start for Mincy.

wasn’t necessarily what I wanted to do, but it was what I felt like I had to do to try to give our guys a little more rest,” Leggett said. “They (Nettleton) go fast and I thought we handled it pretty good.

We’ve got a few playmakers and our playmakers made plays tonight.”

Neither team got off to a good start in the opening quarter. Bad snaps forced Nettleton to punt twice, while the Seminoles also punted the ball two times.

Osceola got on the

board first when Weeden hooked up with Darious Bradley on a perfect playaction pass that resulted in a 43-yard touchdown.

The extra point attempt was no good as Osceola led 6-0 with 11:45 left in the second quarter.

Nettleton answered later in the quarter when Small dashed 11 yards for a touchdown. Garrett Miller’s extra point gave the Raiders a 7-6 lead with 4:36 left in the half.

Before the half ended, James broke free along the sideline, beating a

Nettleton defender as Weeden placed a perfect pass over his shoulder for a 25-yard touchdown with 16 seconds left in the half.

The two-point failed and Osceola led 12-7 at the break.

Darrious Miller found the end zone for the Sem-

inoles in the third quarter on a 5-yard touchdown run. Weeden added the two-point run to give Osceola a 20-7 lead Nettleton sophomore quarterback Dre Nesby scored from 3 yards out with 30 seconds left in the game.

commitments to purchase seats in the new suites and loge boxes were a major reason ASU was able to keep the ballgame at home.

“The Missouri game was a catalyst for a lot of great conversations,” Mohajir said. “The fact that we were able to commit all of our suites, commit all of our loge boxes to where we have to build more, and have a lot of great dialogue on club seats was huge. The corporate community, individuals and obviously Johnny’s gift was the anchor, to make the recommendation to Chancellor Hudson to keep the game here.”

Allison said he was just happy he could do something that will have such a positive impact on ASU for years to come.

“It’s something that I have anticipated doing forever. … This university is just part of the Allison family,” Allison said. “To allow the dreams of ASU athletics to become reality is very rewarding to the Allison family.”

The construction project is being handled by AECOM, which is headquartered in Los Angeles, Brackett-Krennerich Architects of Jonesboro and Ramsons, Inc. construction company of Jonesboro.

Leggett is working with a team that lacks large roster numbers, but has a lot of quality in the players on the field.

Playing in sultry conditions Tuesday, Leggett said his limited number of players looked pretty good playing both ways.

Mohajir also stated that Arkansas State will open the new facility against Missouri to begin the 2015 season. Mohajir had been entertaining an offer from the St. Louis Sports Commission to move the ballgame to the Gateway City.

However, Mohajir informed the organization Monday night that ASU was keeping the game in Jonesboro.

six straight points on her serve and, with the help of a block from seniors Sara Turner and Alden Weeks, the Lady Raiders grabbed a 24-23 lead.

But the next three points ended with Nettleton errors, and Westside turned those mistakes into two-set lead.

Westside pulled away in the middle of the final set to complete the sweep.

The lead swelled from 12-10 to 19-11 thanks to a pair of kills from Brittany Kibby and a lunging stab from libero Madison Manley that also turned into a kill. Despite Davis’ effort to juggle the lineup, Nettleton never recovered.

“I used every kid on my bench,” Davis said.

“That’s a first for me. I have 11 kids on my roster and I used all of them, trying to find something that was clicking… It’s there, it’s just up to me to figure out how the puzzle fits together. Obviously tonight it didn’t fit together well.”

McCall led Nettleton with 10 kills and eight assists in her first competitive match as a setter, while Weeks had six kills.

Gabby Sherman posted 17 digs and Turner pitched in with 10. Kennedy Sellers added two blocks.

Simmons led Westside’s balanced attack with nine kills, followed

by Jaden Baker (7 kills) and Kibby (6). Ashleigh Smith had 22 assists. Manley and Kibby chipped in with three aces apiece.

The Nettleton junior high team had a much different night. The Junior Raiders dominated the hosts 25-7, 25-8.

Maddie Sexton went 11-for-11 serving for Nettleton and collected four kills. Bailey Booker had four kills and Gracie Miller chipped in with perfect service and three digs.

S&P 500 closes above 2,000

BY ALEX VEIGA Associated Press

Associated Press

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen speaks during a news conference at the Federal Reserve in Washington in June. Economists agree with Yellen that the economy and job market still need ultra-low interest rates to support growth. Yet the latest Associated Press survey of economists shows that most also fear that the Fed will wait too long before raising rates, perhaps triggering high inflation or financial asset bubbles.

Fed’s outlook correct but not long-term answer

BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Economists appear to be of two minds about the Federal Reserve.

They agree with the Fed that the job market still isn’t healthy. Yet the latest Associated Press survey of economists finds that most fear the Fed will wait too long to raise interest rates and thereby risk stoking inflation or creating asset bubbles.

The duality of their views underscores the perils of the Fed’s policymaking. Most economists accept that there’s still “significant” slack in the job market. By that they mean that millions of people — the unemployed as well as part-time workers and people who’ve stopped looking for work and aren’t counted as unemployed — would likely take jobs or work more hours if they could.

Still, they’re concerned that Janet Yellen’s Fed won’t raise rates soon enough.

“I agree with her diagnosis; I even like what she has in mind,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “But I’m skeptical that she’ll be able to pull it off.”

The AP surveyed three dozen private, corporate and academic economists from Aug. 13 to19.

In follow-up interviews, several said they feared that by waiting too long to raise rates, the Fed could ignite inflation or may already be feeding speculative bubbles in assets such as stocks or highyield bonds.

“Yellen’s much more concerned about the Fed’s employment mandate than inflation,” said David Shulman, an economist at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, referring to the Fed’s drive to lower unemployment. “They’ll risk financial bubbles.”

Lynn Reaser, a professor at Point Loma Nazarene University, agrees with Yellen that if the economy were nearing full health, workers’ pay would be rising faster,

fewer people would be unemployed for more than six months and many part-timers who want full-time jobs would manage to find them.

But “by the time we hit that situation, there may already be pressures on the inflation front or significant bubbles in various asset markets,” Reaser said. “To play catch-up at that point may require large increases in interest rates, which could be very damaging to the economy.”

Strikingly, while the economists worry that the Fed won’t get out of the way of the strengthening U.S. recovery soon enough, they fear the opposite about Europe: That its economy may have entered a “lost decade” similar to Japan’s longstanding stagnation.

Some, like Allen Sinai, chief global economist at Decision Economics, think the European Central Bank has been too cautious and should launch a bond-buying program akin to what the Fed had done. The idea would be to keep rates low, boost stock prices and shrink the euro’s value, which would make European exports more affordable.

“The sooner they do that, the better the chance that Europe can get out of the lost decade before it turns into two decades,” Sinai said.

ECB President Mario Draghi hinted last week that the central bank could take such a move in coming months.

Among the economists’ other consensus views, the Fed’s low-rate policies have already inflated a bubble in at least one asset group. Most of the economists who see a bubble think one exists in high-yield corporate bonds, often called “junk” bonds, and in emerging-market debt.

Others detect bubbles in small social-media or biotechnology companies or in the stock market as a whole. On Monday, the leading stock-market averages set record highs.

It was a big roundnumber day for the stock market.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed a hair above 2,000 points Tuesday, 16 years after it finished above 1,000 for the first time.

The move extended the stock index’s recordshattering run this year.

The latest milestone comes as investors see new signs that the economy is strengthening, a driver of stronger company earnings.

“There’s perhaps a small psychological boost when you get over such a significant price level,” said Cameron Hinds, regional chief investment officer at Wells Fargo Private Bank.

U.S. stocks, in the midst of a five-year rally, have surged in the final weeks of the summer after dipping earlier this month on concerns

about geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East.

U.S. stock futures pointed to a higher opening in premarket trading Tuesday. That trend held as investors began to digest the latest positive economic news.

The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose this month to the highest point in nearly seven years. A separate report showed that orders of durable manufactured goods surged by a record 22.6 percent in July, thanks to a jump in aircraft sales. A third report showed U.S. home prices rose in June, although at a slower pace.

Stocks opened slightly higher and remained up the rest of the day.

The S&P 500 ended up 2.10 points, or 0.1 percent, to end at 2,000.02.

Seven of the 10 sectors in the index rose, led by energy stocks.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 29.83 points, or 0.2 percent, to 17,106.70. The Nasdaq composite gained 13.29 points, or 0.3 percent, to 4,570.64.

The Dow is 32 points shy of its own record closing high set July 16.

The Nasdaq is still well below its dot-com era record.

Major U.S. indexes are riding a three-week streak of weekly gains and are up for the year.

The S&P 500 index, a widely followed barometer of the stock market, has closed at a new high 30 times this year. By this time last year, it had done so 25 times.

The string of record highs this year isn’t unusual when a market is recovering from a downturn, said Kate Warne, an investment strategist at Edward Jones.

In the past, once stocks have hit an all-time high after a downturn, they

have continued to rise for about two years, on average, she said. The first time the S&P 500 hit a high after the financial crisis was March 2013.

So this year’s run is still within the average range.

“Markets don’t climb sharply. They tend to climb slowly, and that’s probably good news for a continued climb in the future,” Warne said.

The Dow also has put up some big numbers this year, notching 15 new closing highs. That trails the 30 it racked up by this time a year ago.

While the market is setting records, many experts believe stocks remain fairly valued, though not cheap.

The S&P 500 is trading around 16 times the earnings companies in the index are expected to make over the next 12 months.

The historical average on that measure is about 15 times.

Turner offering buyouts

BY DAVID BAUDER Associated Press

Associated Press

A Burger King sign and a Tim Hortons sign are displayed on St. Laurent Boulevard in Ottawa, Canada, on Monday. Canada’s iconic coffee chain, Tim Hortons, and Miami-based Burger King say they will join forces, but will operate as independent brands to form the world’s third-largest quick service restaurant company.

Burger King cooking up expansion of Tim Hortons Associated Press

MIAMI — The fight for the coffee and breakfast crowd is heating up, both at home and abroad.

Burger King said Tuesday it will buy Tim Hortons in an $11 billion deal that would create the world’s third largest fast-food chain. The company is hoping to turn the coffeeand-doughnut chain into a household name outside Canada, and give itself a stronger foothold in the booming morning business.

Alex Behring, Burger King’s executive chairman, said the new company would be one of the fastest-growing fast-food chains in the world.

The international ambitions for Tim Hortons echo the strategy Burger King’s owner, 3G Capital, has applied to Burger King since buying the hamburger chain in 2010. Given Burger King’s struggles in the U.S., the investment firm has focused on opening more locations in countries including China and Russia by striking deals with local franchisees.

Last year, for example, 3G accelerated expansion and opened 670 Burger King locations. Burger King now has nearly 14,000 locations globally, but the company has noted that’s still far less than the more than 35,000 McDonald’s restaurants around the world.

In the U.S., Tim Hortons could also give Burger King another way to tap into the attractive coffee and break-

fast markets, which have been dominated by players including McDonald’s, Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks.

Marc Caira, the CEO of Tim Hortons, noted the Canadian chain’s recent efforts to make a bigger push into the U.S., including updated store designs that feature couches and fireplaces.

Caira said he felt Tim Hortons could “win much quicker” in the U.S. with the help of Burger King. Most of Tim Hortons more than 4,500 locations are in Canada; 866 of them are in the U.S. Last year, Tim Hortons’ U.S. sales rose 1.8 percent at established locations.

Winning over customers will nevertheless be a challenge for Tim Hortons, considering the chain’s lack of name recognition in the U.S. Competition in the mornings has also been intensifying. Taco Bell, for instance, recently launched a national breakfast menu and Starbucks revamped and expanded its breakfast offerings. McDonald’s has said it plans to put more marketing muscle behind breakfast to defend its leadership position.

After the deal, which is expected to close by early next year, Burger King and Tim Horton said their newly combined company would have about $23 billion in sales and more than 18,000 locations. The corporate headquarters will be in Canada, but Burger King will still be operated out of Miami.

NEW YORK — The corporate parent of CNN, TNT and TBS on Tuesday offered voluntary buyouts to 600 veteran employees, part of an overall cost-cutting effort at the Atlanta-based broadcasting company founded by Ted Turner.

The offer went out to U.S.-based employees who are over 55 and have worked at the company for at least 10 years, excluding on-air talent and others with specific contracts. Some 9,000 of Turner’s 13,000 employees are based in the United States.

The company would not comment Tuesday, saying it should become clear this fall how many employees it will be shedding. Turner Broadcasting chief executive John Martin has been talking for several months about a restructuring plan he has called Turner 2020.

Turner is a division of Time Warner, the media company whose profitability is being closely watched following a spurned takeover bid earlier this year by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. Turner also owns The Cartoon Network, HLN, Tru TV and Turner Classic Movies.

CNN’s chief executive, Jeff Zucker, told some of the news network’s employees that “we are going to do less and have to do it with less,” according to a partial transcript of a call this week that was quoted

by The Atlanta JournalConstitution.

Zucker has been trying to restructure the news network with a greater emphasis on non-fiction programming that can be aired several times, in addition to ongoing news coverage.

Survey: Consumer confidence near 7-year high

BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — U.S. consumer confidence this month reached its highest point in nearly seven years, boosted by strong job gains.

The Conference Board said Tuesday that its confidence index rose for a fourth straight month to 92.4 from 90.3 in July. The August reading is the highest since October 2007, two months before the Great Recession officially began.

The optimism suggests that Americans will be more likely to spend in the months ahead, an

important boost to the economy.

Consumer spending drives about 70 percent of economic activity.

“Enthusiastic households are more likely to open their wallets in the coming months and support solid output growth in the second half of the year,” said Gregory Daco, an economist at Oxford Economics.

The survey found that Americans’ outlook on the job market brightened considerably. The percentage of respondents who said jobs were “plentiful” rose to 18.2 percent from 15.6 percent in July. That’s the highest level since 2008. Consumers’ percep-

tions generally track the unemployment rate over time.

The “substantial improvement in August points to another strong employment report next week,” said Ted Wieseman, an economist at Morgan Stanley.

The jobs report for August, to be released next week, will show whether hiring was strong for a seventh straight month.

Steady and solid hiring this year has provided more Americans with paychecks to spend.

Employers have added an averAssociated Press age of 230,000 jobs a month this A shopper checks out with her lumber at a Home Depot in year, up from about 195,000 a Boston in May. The Conference Board reported that consummonth in 2013. er confidence in August rose for the fourth straight month.

PICKLES

The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think that X equals O, it will equal O throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words and words using an apostrophe give you clues to locating vowels. Solution is by trial and error. Š2013 by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

HOROSCOPE | Venus/Mars strife usually hits close to home, as the male/female dynamic is at the root of our essence. Hopefully this disharmony will precede a greater appreciation and understanding of both energies.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19). What is this growing sense of contentment creeping up on you? Wait, no, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than that. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy -- really happy! Maybe there are reasons, and maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just because you decided to be.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20). You may be playing a rather small part today, but you are committed to the work and it shows.

Your courteous attitude and the interest you take in the work of

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS others will pay off immediately and down the line.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21). You have a toolbox for solving problems, and among your most used instruments are your smile, your charm and your unique ability to listen past what people are saying and into what they really want.

CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22). Avoid those with a bleak outlook, no matter how smart they sound.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so smart about bringing people down or showing them a logical, ugly reality? Keep the magical thinking alive.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll apply your keen intuition to your love life and come up with a new way to relate to others. Your nearest

and dearest will benefit, and so will the world at large.

TODAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BIRTHDAY (AUG. 27). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an attractive mystery. The others will keep coming around to try to figure you out. Flattered by their attention, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy the perks of popularity in September and October. Aquarius and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 33, 28 and 17.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). Everyone is quirky in some way, though your quirks are more obvious today. Your quirks will act up, shout out, lean in -- and endear a few fans in the process.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23). Life is not inherently fair by human standards, but things will have a

way of pleasantly balancing out.

Tables turn, ironies play out, the meek get their inheritance, and the powerful bend in deference.

SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21). They say you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t please everyone all the time, but then again, â&#x20AC;&#x153;theyâ&#x20AC;? never met you in the game. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really just trying to please yourself, and the rest get happy being a part of that.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21). To each his own. That is the lesson of the day. It will be hard to resist righting the obvious slights, ignorances and pretentions. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not your job to do so.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19). It may be requested that you perform a certain function when in

reality you are there for moral support. Do not discount the importance of moral support. The feeling can be more important than the product.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for those material possessions that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serve you well to be released to someone who will put them to good use. Immediately, the lack of encumbrance will make you feel younger.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20). Play up your quirks for all they are worth because people need to know what they are getting when they get you. Besides, those quirks are what someone will fall in love with.

Couple weighs reconciliation years after violent split

Dear Abby: Five years ago, my husband got drunk and physically attacked me in front of his family. It was horrible. I was in shock, and our relationship never recovered.

The next four years were a series Dear of court visits for cusAbby tody of our ABIGAIL child and VAN BUREN | eventually a divorce. Last year, his mother began requesting visits with our son. I was happy about it because I have tried to be accommodating to my ex and his family regarding our son.

Finally, late last year, I called my ex to ask if we could sit down and dis-

cuss our son (something we had never done). We have met twice during the last two weeks, and each time had long conversations about everything. (Our son, our past, our relationship.)

Many misconceptions were cleared up, and it’s obvious that we both have made many necessary changes within ourselves.

Now I’m confused about what comes next.

Speaking with him has brought back so many feelings.

Prior to the attack, our stress levels had been high and our communication was terrible, but there had been no physical violence. I’m not sure if this is the universe giving us an opportunity to give the family we started another chance.

Should we start over?

— Wavering in New York Dear Wavering: What comes next might be that you and your ex can become good friends and parent your son in a congenial, cooperative fashion.

What comes next might be that you rekindle your romance. Or it might be that you get back together and he assaults you again.

If your ex has sought help for his drinking and anger management issues, a reconciliation could work out beautifully. However, if he hasn’t, I certainly wouldn’t recommend it. Sometimes people can care deeply about each other, but shouldn’t be married.

■■■

Dear Abby: My 95-year-old mom feels that her age “entitles”

her to speak without a filter, and she has become totally intolerant and critical. She is mentally sharp and highly intelligent, which makes her nasty comments even more hurtful to family and friends.

Standing up to her isn’t an option because of her age and she knows it. She doesn’t seem to recognize how damaging her attitude has become to those who love her. If you could print this and offer some advice, she might recognize herself.

— A Loving Son Dear Loving Son: The fact that someone has celebrated 95 birthdays does not give the person license to be deliberately unkind to others. Negativity is an unattractive trait, regardless of how old you are. People who deliber-

ately say hurtful things invariably find the circle of those who want to be around them shrinking.

My advice to your mother would be, before opening her mouth, ask herself whether what she has to say is true, helpful and KIND. And if it isn’t all THREE, she should rephrase her comment or not say it at all.

■■■

Dear Abby: What does one say to casual acquaintances who stop by uninvited and with no prior phone call?

— Nancy in Aurora, Colo.

Dear Nancy: Let

me tell you first what one DOESN’T say. It’s “Come in!” It is perfectly acceptable to explain that the person caught you in the middle of your housework or a project you need to finish and, please, in the future to call before dropping by so you can make some plans together.

Solution for last Game

Is it time to pull the trigger on getting a new car?

Dear Tom and Ray: We have a 2005 Toyota Sienna with 52,500 miles on it (I don’t get out much, I know). I drive like an old lady, and it’s been a pretty low-maintenance vehicle until recently. During its last checkup, we were told that it needs a new front differential seal, new rackand-pinion assembly, new timing belt/water pump, new Click and transmission pan Clack gasket and TOM AND RAY new rear shocks, all MAGLIOZZI | to the tune of $4,800.

We still have two kids living at home, and a third who frequently accompanies us on vacation trips.

My husband drives a Prius, and we both like it. It has always been our intention to replace the Sienna with the larger Prius V “when the time comes.” Now we are trying to decide if the time has come.

We talked to a local

New shows merit look

dealership about a car on the lot, one of the station-wagon-style Prius V’s.

They offered us $7,000 on our car as is, in trade for the Prius V. Of course, we have no payments right now on the Sienna, and pretty low insurance rates. All of that would change with a new car. Then again, we’d have a new, presumably very reliable car that gets great gas mileage. What to do, what to do? Thanks!

— Donna RAY: If ever a second opinion were called for, this would be the situation, Donna.

TOM: That’s why she wrote to us, you dope!

RAY: I mean an informed second opinion.

TOM: There are two things you want to find out, Donna. No. 1 is: How much of this work is actually necessary? I’m not saying it’s not needed, but with only 52,000 miles on the car, and you driving like an old lady, it would surprise me if the rack and pinion were gone.

RAY: The timing belt and water pump should

search using your ZIP code. That’s a database of great mechanics who have been personally recommended by our readers and listeners over the years. No one gets to “buy” a good review on that site.

TOM: And if you really want the Prius V (which we can tell you’re dying to get your hands on, Donna!), you can still go ahead and get it.

But you might be better off doing the necessary work on the Sienna, for maybe half the amount these guys quoted you, and then selling the van yourself for $11,000 or $12,000.

RAY: But whatever your plans are for the Sienna, we’d recommend a second opinion before either trading it in or dropping five G’s on a 10-year-old car.

Associated Press

NEW YORK — It’s a time-honored rite harking back to an era of black-and-white TVs and the trio of networks whose programs they delivered: the grand unveiling of new fall fare.

■ “Red Band Society” (Fox; premieres Sept. 17).

A group of teenagers meet as patients in the pediatric ward of a Los Angeles hospital. Sure, a show that gathers kids to frolic, flirt and even face death sounds like “Glee” without the jazz hands.

■ “Gotham” (Fox; Sept.

22). In an industry where nothing is a sure thing, fall’s most-awaited show by the most-desirable demo would seem to be a sure thing. “Gotham” turns out to be not only an “origin series” about Batman but also a humdinger of a noir crime thriller.

■ “Bad Judge” (NBC; Oct. 2). Good judge, bad girl: That’s the character Kate Walsh tackles on this new sitcom. Judge Rebecca Wright is unforgiving on the bench but an unapologetic party animal elsewhere.

■ “The Mysteries of Laura” (NBC; Sept. 24).

Debra Messing stars as a brilliant, rules-breaking NYPD homicide detective and harried single mother whose estranged detective-husband becomes her boss (awkward!). Messing (“Will & Grace”) has an indisputable gift for comedy.

be done, just based on their age. And it’s possible you need the other stuff, too, but a second opinion would tell you for sure.

TOM: The second question is whether you’re being overcharged for whatever work you do need. Off the top of my head, being generous, I’d say the differential seals should cost you about $400, even if you do both of them.

RAY: The timing belt and water pump — again, being generous — should be no more than $1,000. The rack and pinion, if you need it, is another $1,000 or so. The transmission pan gasket is $150. And let’s say the rear shocks are $400. That’s $3,000, not $4,800.

TOM: That’s if you actually need all that stuff.

So take it to another mechanic and ask him to go over the whole vehicle from top to bottom, and see how his diagnosis and price match up with the dealer’s.

RAY: If you don’t have another mechanic you trust, go to mechanicsfiles.com, and
