Owner, dealers react to Dodge Ram recall BY WILL BOWDEN Sun Staff Writer wbowden@jonesborosun.com

Will Bowden | The Sun

Fletcher Auto Group General Manager Mike Stevenson shows off a Dodge Ram truck at the dealership in Jonesboro. He hopes to use buybacks and recalls of vehicles including older Ram models as an opportunity to sell more vehicles at the dealership.

JONESBORO — The recall of millions of Fiavt Chrysler vehicles on Sunday was no surprise to local Realtor David Elmore who said he had a horrible experience with his Dodge Ram truck.

“I’m not surprised at all, the mechanical issues and the customer service were terrible,” Elmore said. Italian-based Fiat Chrysler announced Sunday that it will buy back more than 500,000 Dodge Ram pickup trucks that have steering malfunctions that cause drivers to lose control

of the vehicle. The truck is the company’s best selling vehicle, and owners can also request the issues be repaired. About 1 million Jeeps with faulty gas tanks are also having repairs paid for. In total, the 23 recalls affect more than 11 million vehicles.

Commission wraps billing for elections BY HUNTER FIELD Sun Staff Writer hfield@jonesborosun.com

JONESBORO — The Craighead County Election Commission sent out its final set of invoices last week for uncollected election fees, bringing the total uncollected reimbursements since 2008 to $239,595.91. The final group, Craighead County municipalities, were billed a combined $76,612.11 on July 20, but Bono has yet to be billed because the commission is still waiting for some information from the city. Jennifer Clack, the new election coordinator, billed the state $130,249.50 in May, but the state disputed some of the claims, paying only $116,002.36. The county’s eight school districts were invoiced a combined $32,734.30 on July 10, and the districts began making payments immediately. Clack estimated the county failed to collect about $260,000 in election reimbursements from the state, cities and school districts over the last seven years. Clack was hired in April. The election commission came under fire in February after it came to light former election coordinator Sandra Taylor didn’t bill for past elections. In February, Taylor blamed “a lack of time” as the reason she failed to do her job as election coordinator from 2008-2014. She resigned amid the controversy Feb. 13. Clack said the election commission had finally sent out all outstanding invoices with the exception of Bono’s. She said she is glad to be shifting her focus from past elections to upcoming elections.

Neighbor identifies possible shooting victim BY ERIK WRIGHT Paxton News Bureau

Paragould police say they aren’t naming the victim of Thursday’s apparent homicide until his identity is confirmed through autopsy. In the meantime, someone has placed a cross in the front yard of the residence at 729 North Fifth St., in memory of “Rocky.” A neighbor of that address, who asked not to be identified for his safety, said the man who lived there was named Roderic “Rocky” Cox. Police responded to the home Thursday afternoon about 2:30 p.m. after a 911 call reported that a person had been shot there. When officers arrived they found an unresponsive male, who appeared to have been shot once. The man was pronounced dead at the scene by Greene County Coroner Dick Pace.

Erik Wright / Daily Press

A single cross in memory of “Rocky” has been placed outside the residence where a shooting death investigation was launched by Paragould police Thursday afternoon. A neighbor identified the man who lived at 729 North Fifth St. as Roderic ‘Rocky’ Cox. Pace said Monday that he was unable to confirm the identity of the victim. He said the body was sent to the state crime labora-

tory in Little Rock Friday morning for an autopsy. “I am not sure when the autopsy will be completed,” Pace said. “That

all depends on what their [state crime lab] work load is down to right now, but usually in a case like this they try to get it done

in a somewhat timely manner.” Neighbors describe the person they knew as Rocky as being a middleaged white man with a funny personality. “I don’t know if he was from here or not [Paragould], but the best I can understand was that his parents were both gone and he was recently out of jail and on his own. He had just moved into this trailer a few, maybe three months back,” one neighbor said. “He was just a good dude. We met a few years ago here [in Paragould] and he was a good old boy. We would kick back and talk and have a cold one together and I never had any problems with him.” Another neighbor, Anna Anderson, said she did not know the man who lived there. “I wasn’t here when all this happened,” Anderson

said. “When I got home that afternoon I seen all the police cars and knew something had happened, but I didn’t know what, but then I had heard someone was shot.” Anderson said she had seen the man who lived there a few times around the property, but never talked with him. “It looked like he had just moved in,” Anderson said. “At least that is the impression I had gotten. I hate that something like this happened here, especially so close to our house.” Lt. Scott Snyder with the Paragould Police Department said Monday that there are no suspects in custody. “We are busy interviewing some folks,” Snyder said. “We have some theories and some potential, but right now we don’t have anyone arrested on this.”

The company will also have to pay up to $105 million in fines, the largest fine ever, to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The company will pay the price of the Ram trucks minus depreciation. A 2010 Ram with 60,000 miles would get a buyback of about $20,000, according to Fiat Chrysler statistics. Elmore purchased his 2014 Ram in Little Rock, a $50,000 vehicle with an EcoDiesel engine. “It was a great vehicle for the first 5,000 miles, but then everything fell apart,” he said. An issue with the fuel system warranted a full replacement, and that only broke the vehicle further, he said. After a six-month battle with the dealership and the manufacturer, Elmore managed to wring a refund out by using Arkansas Lemon laws. It’s an experience he doesn’t wan to relive. “I will never buy a vehicle from them again,” he said. The scale of the recall and buyback program isn’t something Mike Stevenson, general manager at Fletcher Auto Group in Jonesboro, has seen in his 15 years of vehicle sales. “I haven’t seen something like this,” he said. “It’s a reaction to the poor way companies like GM and Toyota handled recalls. Reactions are getting quicker, and the results are more dramatic.”

Fletcher hasn’t received information from corporate officials about what exactly the plans for the buyback will be, but vehicles under the program were sold at the Jonesboro location, and recalls and buybacks will be processed locally. He said he isn’t worried about the potential impact on sales and that he is going to use the situation to sell more cars. “Some of these cars are pretty old, and they’re being given a $1,000 more than it’s worth. The money for the buybacks isn’t coming from us, so we’re not losing any money,” he said. “When people are turning in these vehicles, they are going to need another. That’s an opportunity.” The dealership had received a few calls from customers concerned about the potential dangers with their vehicles, but Stevenson said the total number of calls was no more than the regular number of complaints or questions the dealership receives. “People often react with fear. They’re afraid that it’s going to happen to them. The truth is that regulations are so strict that it only takes a few incidents to trigger a recall,” he said. Stevenson said the incident will only have a short-term impact on sales. Elmore isn’t as convinced. “Heck, I’m surprised people are getting a buyback,” he said. “I guess that’s the best people are going to get.”

forced his way into the family’s home by kicking in the garage door, according to a probable cause affidavit. Hendrickson told police he had been drinking and ingesting drugs all day, and he couldn’t remember all of what happened, the affidavit states. A Remington .22 rifle, Sentry safe with a .38 Smith and Wesson revolver, titles,

birth certificates and $600 cash were taken along with 13 rings valued at $10,000, according to a police report. Hendrickson told investigators he buried each item in separate areas around town, according to the probible cause affidavit. A safe was uncovered near a levee, and the rings and other items were buried his shop building, which had a dirt floor, according to the affidavit.

Investigators said he took detectives to each place and helped dig up the missing items. A district judge found probable cause to charge Hendrickson with residential burglary — a class B felony— and theft of more than $5,000 but less than $25,000 — a class C felony. His bond was set at $5,000, and he is due Aug. 7 in Craighead County Circuit Court in Lake City.

Egypt was billed $42.96. Jonesboro was billed $57,191.30. Lake City was billed $6,395.87. Monette was billed $3,591. Of the nearly $240,000 billed as of Monday, $21,215.84 had been received by the county. Riverside School District paid its entire debt of $1,218.74. Westside Consolidated School District reimbursed the county all $9,219.09 it was never billed. Buffalo Island Central School District paid the re-

maining $6,242.44 it owed. The City of Caraway paid all $4,016.58 it was billed. Jonesboro School District also paid the entire amount it owed — $518.99. While it has been a major headache, Election Commission Chairman Jeannette Robertson said she thinks the election commission is back on top of things. “It was a major undertaking,” Robertson said of going back through old election claims. “We had to pull several hundred claim forms for each election to make sure everything was a reimbursable expense.”

BILLING CONTINUED FROM A1

“We’re finally all caught up,” Clack said. “We’re sending out the bill for Buffalo Island Central’s May special election, and we’re getting ready for the school elections this September. Then, the March primary will be on us quick. That’s going to be a big one.” Bay was billed $255.27. Black Oak was billed $266.19. Brookland was billed $4,105.39. Caraway was billed $4,016.58. Cash was billed $387.31.

Based on previous years, Kmart Manager Melissa Kidd said she expects her store to be swamped for tax-free weekend. It is normally the first wave of customers the store receives for backto-school supplies. Over

“It’s good for the people who are buying their own stuff and have a limited budget,” Miles said of the event. “That’s not me. I’m a Christian and God says help those in need so that is why I’m doing it.” The 11th annual Stuff the Bus will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Walmarts in Jonesboro — Highland Drive and Parker Road, Corning, Newport, Paragould, Pocahontas, Trumann, Walnut Ridge and Wynne. People are asked to purchase extra school supplies and bring them to the school buses located in each of the above Walmart parking lots.

advance of the event. Twenty-five schools are participating with school counselors providing students the items they need. While anything is beneficial, Heard said the schools do not get enough of the more expensive items like backpacks and mats. Heard recommends people who are wanting to donate school supplies to pick up a supply list for the school they wish to donate to and choose items off that list. There are multiple items that are always needed, including pencils, notebooks and loose paper. For Miles, he decided to buy six of every item he picked up. “I’m buying six of everything,” Miles said. “That way I will help out six people.”

Mental health experts respond to mass killings BY DAVID CRARY AP National Writer

NEW YORK — One psychiatry professor calls it “the conversation we’re stuck with,” a teachable moment growing out of horror. Each time mental illness is cited as a possible factor in a high-profile mass killing, there’s a collective sigh among mental health professionals. Even as they see an opportunity for serious discussions of problems and remedies, they also worry about setbacks to their efforts to destigmatize mental illness. “Most people who suffer from mental illness are not violent, and most

violent acts are committed by people who are not mentally ill,” said Dr. Renee Binder, president of the American Psychiatric Association. If, hypothetically, everyone with mental illness were locked up, “you might think you were safe, but you are not,” Binder said. According to the National Institute of Mental Health’s latest estimate, from 2012, there were an estimated 9.6 million adults in the U.S. — 4.1 percent of the total adult population — experiencing serious mental illness over the previous year. “If you look at that large pool of people, only a tiny

proportion of them will eventually commit violence,” Binder said. “How are you going to identify them? It’s like a needle in a haystack.” Yet public perceptions can be hard to shake. Of the mass shootings of the past 10 years that are most ingrained in America’s psyche, the mental health problems of the perpetrator became a central part of the narrative in several cases — notably the rampages at Virginia Tech in 2007, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, at an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater in 2012, and near the University of California, Santa Barbara, in

2014. Just this month, a jury convicted James Holmes of 12 murders in Aurora, after a wrenching trial that delved deeply into his mental problems. In two rampages recently, the perpetrators also have been described as mentally troubled. After the killing of four Marines and a Navy sailor in Chattanooga, the family of slain assailant Muhammad Abdulazeez said he had been in and out of treatment for depression starting as an adolescent. John Russell Houser, who killed two people and wounded nine before killing himself at a Louisiana movie theater last week, had a history of

mental health issues, according to his family. While these incidents seize public attention, there’s less focus on the serious, problems besetting America’s mental health system, says Jeffrey Swanson, a professor of psychiatry at Duke University School of Medicine. “Forty percent of people with serious mental illness are going without treatment — our systems are fragmented and overburdened,” Swanson said. “When do we pay attention to this? We pay attention when there’s a horrifying mass casualty shooting, and then people say: Let’s fix the system.’” That puts mental health

professionals in a bind, Swanson said. “We’re trying to debunk the stigma that people in the mental health system are dangerous, and yet refocus attention to how do we improve the system,” he said. “That’s the conversation we’re stuck with and we need to use it to educate the public that the vast majority of people with mental illness are not violent.” Swanson and many of his colleagues, while committed to combatting stigma, acknowledge that some people with serious mental illness are more likely to commit violence than people who are not mentally ill.

US, Turkey plan for ‘safe zone’ free of IS in northern Syria BY ZEINA KARAM Associated Press

BEIRUT — Turkey and the United States have agreed on the outlines of a plan to rout the Islamic State group from a strip of Syrian territory along the Turkish border — a plan that opens the possibility of a safe haven for tens of thousands of displaced Syrians but one that also sets up a potential conflict with U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish forces in the area. The move further embroils Turkey, a key NATO ally, in Syria’s civil war, and also catapults it into a front-line position in the global war against IS. A senior Obama administration official said Monday that U.S. discussions with Turkey about an IS-free zone focused on a 68mile stretch still under IS control. The U.S. has been conducting airstrikes there, which will accelerate now that the U.S. can launch strikes from Turkish soil, the official said. No agreement between Turkey and the U.S. has yet been finalized, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity under regulations. In Washington, State Department spokesman John Kirby said that any joint military efforts with Turkey would not include the imposition of a no-fly zone. The U.S. has long rejected Turkish and other requests for a no-fly zone to halt Syrian government air raids, fearing it would draw U.S. forces further into the civil war. While details of the buffer-zone

a structure will be created so that they can take control of areas freed from ISIL, air cover will be provided. It would be impossible for them to take control of the area without it,” Davutoglu told Turkey’s A Haber television. ISIL is an alternate acronym for the Islamic State group.

Malaysia, Cuba taken off trafficking blacklist Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Democratic lawmakers and rights groups on Monday accused the State Department of politicizing its annual rankings of nations on their efforts to combat modern-day slavery, as key trading partner Malaysia was taken off a blacklist. Cuba was also given an upgrade, a week after the U.S. and Cuba formally restored diplomatic rela-

tions, ending a half-century of estrangement. But Thailand, downgraded with Malaysia last year because of pervasive labor abuses in its lucrative fishing industry, remained stuck on “tier 3” — the lowest ranking in the department’s annual Trafficking in Persons Report. Undersecretary of State Sarah Sewall denied political considerations had come into

play. Secretary of State John Kerry formally launched the annual U.S. assessment of how 188 governments around the world have performed in fighting the flesh trade and other forms of exploitative labor, which he described as a “battle against money.” He said the report was not intended to “name and shame” but to galvanize action against an

illicit trade that the U.N. estimates generates $150 billion in profits each year, in industries also including mining, construction and domestic service. Critics contend that Malaysia’s upgrade is related to its participation in a U.S.-backed trade agreement among Pacific Rim countries. Thailand is not part of the proposed agreement.

Colorado theater shooter’s sister says his eyes changed BY SADIE GURMAN Associated Press

CENTENNIAL, Colo. — The younger sister of Colorado theater shooter James Holmes became the first in her family to testify at his trial, saying Monday in an effort to spare his life that her brother’s eyes and demeanor were different when she visited him in jail nearly two years after the attack. During a visit in May 2014, he responded to questions with one-word answers, Chris Holmes, 22, testified during the sentencing phase of her brother’s trial. And his eyes “were almost bulging out of his head in a way,” she said. Jurors are considering whether James Holmes should serve life in prison without parole or be executed for killing 12 people and injuring 70 others in a crowded movie theater in July 2012. Defense attorneys say he should get a life term because he was suffering a severe psychotic break at the time. Chris Holmes described a normal childhood packed with family vacations, but

She also said she did not know her brother was mentally ill growing up but also didn’t know how to recognize the signs. Earlier in the day, the defense called to the stand a court-appointed psychiatrist who previously testified for prosecutors that James Holmes was legally sane during the attack but his mental illness led him to open fire. Dr. Jeffrey Metzner’s finding has not changed: He concluded that Holmes knew right from wrong, therefore meeting the legal definition of sanity under Colorado law. But Metzner also said the attack would not have happened if not for Holmes’ mental illness. “Having psychosis doesn’t take away your capacity to make choices. It may increase your capacity to make bad choices,” Metzner testified. “He acted on his delusions, and that’s a reflection of the severity of his mental illness.” Jim Guntharp, DVM Gary Strickland, DVM Everett Rogers, DVM Erin Culpepper, DVM Danielle Barnes, DVM

Confederate flag controversy not about political correctness

The Confederate battle flag is part of my Southern heritage. In high school at Hot Springs and college at Arkansas State we waved the flag and sang “Dixie” at athletic events. My college fraternity flag looked suspiciously like the Confederate battle flag, and we displayed it prominently and often. None of that had anything to do with school mascots. Behind We were sons and the news daughters of the South, and we were proud of our ROY heritage. We didn’t understand all that it meant, OCKERT | though. The Civil War was far removed from our childhood, and we got a sanitized version in history classes. Hot Springs High School, in whose hallowed halls a future president roamed, wasn’t integrated until after both of us had graduated. I worked for the Hot Springs daily newspapers, which maintained separate obituary columns for whites and blacks, and that seemed normal in contemporary society. When I came to A-State at Jonesboro in 1963, we had a few black students but no black athletes until I was a senior. Once I photographed an A-State basketball game for the Jonesboro Evening Sun, and the selected picture included an opponent’s black player. But when the photo was published, the corner where he had been was cut out, replaced by a caption. I was fortunate to have one American class at A-State in which the professor, Dr. Lee Dew, taught history as a collection of stories, rather than just names, dates and places. He told the “whys” and “hows” of the Civil War, and my eyes started opening to the darkest years of our country, of man’s inhumanity to man. My friend Sandra Combs, associate professor of journalism at ASU, sees the Confederate battle flag much differently. Recently on Facebook she posted a photograph taken in Arkansas earlier this year. It shows several people dressed in white sheets carrying the flag and recounted a conversation with a white teen-ager who defended its use. “He has never been intimidated with this flag by white people full of hate,” she wrote. “He probably has no idea about the Confederate flag waving at the lynchings, rapes, abuse, property destruction, cross burnings, assassinations, etc., faced, threatened and suffered by African-Americans. ... The flag makes my heart race and brings tears to my eyes.” Who could be proud of a heritage of slavery, rebellion, treason, lynchings and the Ku Klux Klan? I haven’t sung “Dixie” in decades, and I look at the Confederate battle flag much differently now. I’m still proud to be a Southerner and a citizen of Arkansas, where I’ve spent all but two years of my life. We’ve come

a long way, even from the days of my youth. We’ve rebuilt Arkansas and the South from the ruins of civil war, and we have moved far from the segregated society in which I was raised. And yet now we are fussing over that old Confederate battle flag. Over the weekend about 150 people rallied to save the Fort Smith Southside School’s Rebel mascot. After a white man murdered nine black people last month during a Bible study meeting in Charleston, S.C., a national outcry to do away with Confederate symbols resulted. Several businesses, including Walmart, decided to stop selling Confederate flags. A Southside board committee voted to do away the mascot and stop using “Dixie” as a fight song. Some alumni and school patrons objected. They maintain that the mascot and fight song has no racial overtones. That’s easy to say when you’ve never walked in another’s moccasins. Southside’s mascot is a white-haired gentleman in a long red coat and blue hat resting on a cane — perhaps a Southern plantation owner. Batesville Southside calls its athletic teams the Southerners and uses a nearly identical image. Highland High School’s mascot is the Rebels, also represented in sexist fashion by an old gentleman, and the Confederate flag is used often. A Facebook flap over the mascot in 2010 resulted in no changes. Meanwhile, various “rebels” have been making a show of their right to use the Confederate flag, including a group who waved flags in Oklahoma City during a visit by President Barack Obama. Oklahoma wasn’t even a state during the Civil War, which wipes out the heritage argument. Oklahoma’s heritage is largely about its place as a dumping ground for the Indian tribes whose land we took. To call this a battle for political correctness is ludicrous. The Confederate battle flag has a history similarly negative as the Nazis’ swastika. Thanks to the First Amendment, all Americans have the right to use either, but neither is symbol that merits a place on government facilities or at public events. As for its heritage, the battle flag was never even the official flag of the Confederacy, which used three other flags. Its use was limited until the 20th century, when the Dixiecrat Party adopted it, the KKK flew it on occasion and it was waved at University of Mississippi football games. First Corinthians tells us: “When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.” To many, Confederate symbols are childish things. To others, they are hateful things. Either is a good reason to put them away. Roy Ockert, editor emeritus of The Sun, can be contacted be email at royo@suddenlink.net.

Earth to Kepler-452b NASA has discovered the answer to all of our problems. It is another planet, a possible twin to Earth that could theoretically sustain life. This revelation could be bigger than Columbus “discovering” America, or Lewis and Clark finding the Northwest Passage. Cal It offers the possibility of starting over. Hasn’t Thomas | the thought crossed the mind of every adult of a certain age that if we could time travel back to our youth and know what we know now, we would not have made the mistakes we made? The first step in boldly going where no one has gone before is to re-name the planet. Kepler-452b won’t do. How about Krypton? That name is already widely known as the fictional planet from which Superman came, thus giving it cultural standing. Steven Spielberg could make a film about our new second home. ET might even be there to welcome us. Then we have to figure out a way to get there. Kepler-452b is 8,400 trillion miles away. Using present technology it would take 25.8 million years to get there. To reach the planet, people would have to reproduce in space, creating multiple generations of descendants. How would the new arrivals find materials to build anything? We’d be starting over like cavemen, though that should not deter us. Early pioneers didn’t give up when they encountered obstacles. What is really interesting is that Kepler-452b is not the only planet with an environment thought capable of sustaining life. The Kepler spacecraft has found more than 4,000 planets in the so-called “Goldilocks Zone,” meaning they have temperature ranges that could support at least plant life and possibly more advanced

life forms. This could be the solution we have been looking for. Republicans and Democrats could have planets of their own, which could settle once and for all the argument over whether big or small government is best; not that one would be able to convince the other, even if verifiable proof could be presented. The same goes for global warming proponents and climate change deniers. Criminals would have their own planet where they could prey on each other instead of the rest of us, thus “solving” the crime problem. And the gun control crowd could inhabit a planet where all guns would be banned, though sticks and stones, mankind’s first weapons, would remain. It would be left to the peaceloving citizens of “gun-free-opolis” to work things out amongst themselves, but they would have achieved their ultimate goal — no guns. There is just one overarching challenge for those who might like to travel to this new world. How do you solve the problem of human nature? Travelers would take that nature with them, as illustrated in William Golding’s classic novel “Lord of the Flies” in which a group of children crash on a remote tropical island and, cut off from civilization, slowly turn into savages. Russian entrepreneur Yuri Milner recently announced a $100 million, 10-year project to search for intelligent life in the universe. Stephen Hawking, the physicist, has signed on to work with him. They are wasting their time and money. However, given the lack of intelligence on Earth, I can’t blame them for looking elsewhere. Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribpub.com.

Perry emerges as a responsible voice

In the early days of the 2016 Republican campaign — an unusually important period, in which the viability of the GOP is being defended against a toxic form of populism — some of the clearest leadership has emerged from an unexpected source: former Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Those Republican Michael candidates and commentaGerson | tors who sought to accommodate and domesticate Donald Trump — praising his views on immigration or petting his followers — failed an important political and moral test. Trump is (unknowingly) attempting to revive the spirit of Know-Nothingism — a mid-19th-century political movement that stirred up resentment against immigrants (particularly Catholic immigrants) and fought to keep government in the hands of the native-born. In Trump’s updated version, the enemies are China and a perfidious Mexico, which he claims is purposely sending its rejects and rapists to the U.S. Perry has been blunt in describing the nature of Trump’s candidacy: “What Mr. Trump is offering is not conser-

vatism, it is Trumpism — a toxic mix of demagoguery and nonsense.” Perry understood something early that many of his peers did not. While appeals to nationalism are a traditional Republican strength, xenophobia is a poison. For the GOP to succeed in this election — and for any viable form of conservative populism to be preserved — Trump must be discredited. Not just defeated, but discredited. By denying John McCain’s status as a war hero, Trump has done a good job of that himself. Perry has declared that Trump “is unfit to be commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces, and he should immediately withdraw from the race for president.” The first part of that sentence is manifestly true. The second part would require a sense of shame, which makes it very unlikely. But Perry has done more than expose Trump. Following last month’s church shooting in South Carolina, he delivered the best and bravest Republican speech of the campaign so far. In remarks at the National Press Club, Perry confronted his state’s history of racial violence in the story of Jesse Washington, tortured and lynched by a Waco mob in 1916. By vividly recalling the details of that case — by

looking this evil of racism straight in the face — Perry took the American debate on race to a deeper level of honesty. So, at two turning points of the presidential race — the rise of Trump and the Charleston massacre — Perry emerged as a responsible voice. How to explain it? Some of this is assuredly sound staffing choices, providing him good advice and good speeches. But there is a factor more intrinsic to Perry. He has a history of making gaffes that reveal his decency. During his spectacularly failed candidacy in 2012, Perry defended his state’s extension of in-state college tuition benefits to the Texas version of “Dreamers” — illegal immigrants who had graduated from Texas high schools. If you want to deny them education, he said, “I don’t think you have a heart.” Last time around, Perry also defended the vaccination of girls against human papillomavirus, a cause of cervical cancer, pushing back on Michele Bachmann’s irresponsible, dangerous claim that vaccinations can cause “mental retardation.” This issue is often a dividing line between political responsibility and the conspiratorial fringe. Perry’s approach to politics gives evidence of actual executive responsibility.

Others can be emperors in ideological fantasy worlds of their own choosing. Perry was governor of Texas. And a good one. The Republican recovery will require a series of Sister Souljah moments — small declarations of ideological independence — as Perry has done with Trump. The model is the first great Republican. “I am not a Know-Nothing,” Abraham Lincoln wrote in 1855. “That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we begin by declaring that ‘all men are created equal.’ We now practically read it ‘all men are created equal, except negroes.’ When the KnowNothings get control, it will read ‘all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.’ When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty.” The words still apply, and echo.

Governor seeks $7.4M to open 200 prison beds BY ANDREW DEMILLO Associated Press

HOT SPRINGS — Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Monday said he wants to tap an additional $7.4 million from Arkansas reserve funds to open 200 more prison beds to help ease the backlog of state inmates housed at local jails. The Republican governor told the Arkansas Sheriffs Association at the group’s summer meeting that he will ask lawmakers to approve the funding to open the beds in about 18 months at a Pine Bluff prison facility. “I’m asking for your patience and your support and to recognize that there’s hope around the corner,” Hutchinson told the group. The funding request is in addition to the $33 million plan lawmakers approved earlier

this year to address overcrowding by opening new space, hiring additional parole officers and expanding the use of alternative sentencing programs. Hutchinson said more than 526 new prison beds have opened since he took office in January and the state also plans to open 500 “re-entry” beds for prisoners who are about to be released. Despite the new beds, county jails are still backed up. Hutchinson said 2,620 state inmates are in county jails, down slightly from a high of 2,840. Correction officials had initially called for a $100 million, 1,000-bed prison, but that plan failed to win support from Hutchinson or lawmakers. Hutchinson said efforts to help prisoners adjust to society after being paroled and not re-

offend are also important. “If we can change behavior in that context, it gives us hope that not only are we going to keep our streets safe but it gives us hope also that we’re not going to have to continually use taxpayers’ dollars to build bigger and larger prisons,” Hutchinson said. Hutchinson told reporters he hoped to send a formal request for the funding to a legislative committee next week. He said he didn’t expect to seek additional funding for more prison beds from the Legislature during next year’s session. Hutchinson said he’s pleased with the drop the state has seen so far in the backlog but that it’s too early to judge the overcrowding plan’s success. “I said at the very beginning that there’s no guarantee any

Briefs Amazeum children’s museum opens in Bentonville BENTONVILLE — It’s a science museum. It’s a children’s museum. It’s the Scott Family Amazeum. The 50,000-square-foot Amazeum opened in July in Bentonville where Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art opened in 2011 — founded by WalMart heir Alice Walton. The Amazeum offers hands-on activities and interactive exhibits with themes ranging from pop culture to science. Exhibits include a mock neighborhood market, a water play center, a pioneer-style cabin and farm, a chocolate learning lab, a play area with Nickelodeon characters like SpongeBob SquarePants and a “Tinkering Hub” where kids can explore technology and create art. The Scott family for whom the Amazeum is named includes former Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott.

Arkansas attorney general’s office rejects 5 pot proposals CONWAY — The Arkansas attorney general’s office has rejected five proposed ballot titles that would have asked voters to legalize marijuana for various purposes. But Robert Reed says he isn’t giving up and is planning to appeal the most recent denials, on July 20, by Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, who cited ambiguities in two of the proposals Reed submitted. Reed tells the Arkansas DemocratGazette that he suffers from a painful bone disease and fears the potential side effects of painkillers now available to him. Four of Reed’s proposals would have let voters decide whether to approve a constitutional amendment allowing for either industrial or agricultural uses and medical uses of marijuana. The other proposal would have let voters decide whether to pass an amendment legalizing all uses of marijuana.

Arkansas woman gets check in mail around 17 years later HARRISON — An Arkansas woman said she finally has received a check in the mail that she had been waiting on for about 17 years. Barbara Fraizer of Harrison said she received a letter earlier this month with a postal money order for $200. She told the Harrison Daily Times that she thought something was wrong because the man from whom the check was mailed no longer lived at the address in Des Moines, Iowa.

But then she realized the postmark on the letter read May 26, 1998. She said she scoffed at the man when he told her years ago that it had been mailed.

Man cutting grass finds body in Arkansas field CABOT — Pulaski County authorities say the body of a man found in a field near Cabot on Sunday has been identified as a missing Bryant man. Capt. Carl Minden, a spokesman for the Pulaski County Sheriff’s office, said Monday the man has been identified as Ryan Clemmons, who was reported missing to the Bryant Police Department this month. Authorities did not release any other details about Clemmons. A man cutting grass behind his home found Clemmons’ body about 10 a.m. Sunday, when he called authorities. The body was sent to the Arkansas state medical examiner’s office for identification and to determine the cause of death. Minden says a cause of death is still undetermined. Minden says Clemmons’ car was found on Tadpole Road in Pulaski County on July 16.

LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas Children’s Hospital says it has received $1.5 million to help fund an endowed chair dedicated to research. Mary and Ross Whipple donated the money, which will be matched by the hospital’s research institute board. The chair is designed to support pediatric research in a number of areas. The hospital announced the gift Monday and said it was in honor of Dr. Richard F. Jacobs. The hospital said it is the first distinguished research scientist endowed chair at Arkansas Children’s Hospital Research Institute. The full amount of the gift is set aside and its earnings are used to support the chair holder.

The father has not been identified, but the zoo said officials believe it is Kijana — the alpha male chimpanzee of the group. The zoo is also asking the public to help choose a name for the baby chimp.

Fort Smith school board ends Rebel mascot, ‘Dixie’ Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK — A school board in northwestern Arkansas voted Monday to drop a high school’s “Johnny Reb” mascot and “Dixie” fight song after the shooting deaths of nine people inside their historic black church in South Carolina reignited a debate nationwide about the use of symbols of the Confederacy. Fort Smith school board members have said a recurring discussion about changing the mascot and the Old South anthem used as the fight song reignited after the June shooting at Charleston’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, an attack authorities have said was racially motivated. A board committee voted

less than a week later to send a proposal to drop both symbols. The community has had mixed reactions to the decision, which the full school board approved in a 7-0 vote on Monday night, according to district spokeswoman Zena Featherston Marshall. Some alumni say the board is making a rash decision that throws out decades of tradition, while others say the district that borders Oklahoma needs to let go of the symbols. School Board President Deanie Mehl said after the 90 minutes of debate at the public hearing before the vote, the district is ready to move forward. “This was an issue that I think was very painful for both sides. A large

portion of Fort Smith, when they hear the fight song, “Dixie,” or they see Johnny Reb, they see it as a reminder of a phenomenal high school,” Mehl said. “I think there are unfortunately people around the country that hear that song or see that symbol and they do have those negative thoughts.” The district is now preparing to respond to a lawsuit filed Thursday in Sebastian County Circuit Court that challenges the changes. The lawsuit, brought by Fort Smith resident and mascot supporter Curtis E. Sorrels, alleges that the committee vote on June 23 to send the issue to the full school board is invalid because it violated the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act notice requirements.

Robert graduated from United Electronics Laboratories in Louisville, Ky., (1959-60). He faithfully served as a Sunday school teacher

SWIFTON — Marguerite Gwaltney, 91, of Swifton died Sunday, July 26, 2015, at the Flo and Phil Jones Hospice House in Jonesboro. A lifelong Jackson County native, Marguerite was loved by many and leaves a significant void in the Swifton Community. Marguerite Wood Gwaltney, affectionately nicknamed “Guerite,” was born May 5, 1924, at Swifton, the daughter of W. A. and Vivia Wood. Being a child of the Depression,

Marguerite knew well the value of a dollar, recycled before it was popular and possessed an abiding work ethic. In 1941, she married Leo Gwaltney. The couple enjoyed 39 years together and were blessed by four children. Mrs. Gwaltney was a homemaker, and after her husband’s passage enjoyed a lengthy career with Swifton Public Schools, where she impacted generations of individuals with her wit, wisdom and distinctive outlook on life. Guerite possessed an inquisitive mind, a quick perception, a hearty laugh and a strong desire for knowledge. She particularly enjoyed reading suspense novels. A great complaint stemmed from the fact that before she could complete a book, she had figured out the plot. John Grisham remained one of her favorite authors. One of the great passions of Marguerite Gwaltney’s life was cooking. Anyone in the town of Swifton knew that she possessed amazing culinary skills. To say that she fed a community was not an understatement. There was never a holiday that her kitchen was not a revolving door with friends dropping by for a visit and to sample such delectable treats as her fresh apple cake, chicken and dressing and one-of-a kind fudge. A faithful member of the Swifton Baptist Church, Marguerite was a staple on the hospitality committee for as long as her health allowed. Never one to miss a good visit, Guerite enjoyed social interactions of any kind. She relished lively conversation, and at any time was privy to the goings on in her home community and beyond. A special favorite was her Monday night Canasta group. One will never know whether the game or the visits were more important, but, to be certain, laughter and good food were hallmarks of these gatherings. Like many individuals defined by the term “The Greatest Generation,” Marguerite Gwaltney possessed solid traits of loyalty, compassion and concern for others. Her word was her bond; she said what she meant, and she meant what she said. Her day was never too busy for a friend, her week never too rushed to cook for others and her life never too hectic for church. She, and others like her, represent the social character that made America great. In addition to her husband, Leo Gwaltney, she was preceded in death by a son, Robert Gwaltney; daughter, Shirley Lawson; and her parents. Survivors include her son, Charles Gwaltney and wife Vickie of Pocahontas; daughter, Loretta Carlton and husband Ray

Dog attacks kids Sun Staff Reports

JONESBORO — A large black dog attacked an 8-yearold girl and chased other children into North Church Street on Sunday. When an animal control officer responded, he got the same treatment from the dog. Officer David Cooley said he went to a home in the 1300 block of North Church Street to talk to the dog’s owner. “Before I could knock on the door, I was charged by the dog and had to retreat,” Cooley wrote in an incident report Sunday afternoon. He said the dog chased him to his truck. He used a tranquilizer gun to bring the animal under control. Witnesses said the dog

chased the girl and bit her on the back. The animal also chased a little boy into the street. The boy fell down trying to get away and was almost struck by a car, witnesses said. While seizing the dog, Cooley said he noticed that what he believed to be the dog’s kennel had no food, water or proper shelter. He failed to make contact with a human at the house. The child suffered what was believed to be a minor injury from the bite. In an unrelated incident, a 5-year-old boy was treated at a local hospital for a minor injuries after being scratched by a dog’s paw in the 1300 block of Oakhurst Street. Cooley said the boy was playing with the dog at the time.

Men held on drug, firearm charges Sun Staff Reports

JONESBORO — Two Jonesboro men face potential life prison sentences after police said they found guns hidden among drugs in their home. Special Judge Chris Jester found probable cause Monday to charge Nikeal Jeremy Heard, 25, and Jnarious Anderson, 19, both of 412 N. Church St., Jonesboro, with simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms, possession of marijuana with the purpose to deliver, possession of Xanax with the purpose to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia. Possession of guns with drugs carries a sentence of 10 to 40 years or life in prison. Heard and Anderson were being held on a $15,000 bond since their arrest Friday. Jester reduced that bond to $5,000 each. Officers with the Jonesboro Police

Department Prowl Unit executed a search warrant and found three bags of marijuana, eight Xanax pills and three handguns, Investigator Anthony Zaffarano said in a probable cause affidavit. In an unrelated Heard case, Jester found probable cause to charge Johnny Ray Hampton, 57, 216 W. Roseclair St., Jonesboro, with possession of drug paraphernalia. His bond was set at $5,000. Hampton was riding a bicycle when he failed to stop at a stop sign and was almost hit by a vehicle, police said. Police found a crack pipe in his possession. Hampton also faces a parole violation.

Judge didn’t commit Committee named to review Bland case shooter involuntarily BY MICHAEL GRACZYK Associated Press

BY RAY HENRY Associated Press

CARROLLTON, Ga. — The gunman responsible for last week’s deadly attack in a Louisiana movie theater was delivered by deputies to hospital for a mental evaluation in 2008 after his family said he was a danger to himself and others. But the judge who ordered John Russell Houser detained said Monday that she did not have him involuntarily committed, which may explain why he was able to legally purchase the gun he used to kill two people and wound nine others before killing himself. Funerals were held Monday in Louisiana for Jillian Johnson and Mayci Marie Breaux, the two women killed when Houser opened fire in a theater in the city of Lafayette. Houser’s case underscores the concerns raised in the aftermath of other mass shootings involving suspects with mental health issues — and the gaps in the system meant to “red-flag” people illsuited to own or carry a firearm. While an Alabama sheriff said that he denied Houser’s application for a concealed weapons’

HEMPSTEAD, Texas — A committee of outside attorneys will assist the Texas district attorney investigating the death of Sandra Bland, the black woman who authorities say hanged herself in her jail cell three days after a traffic stop by a white state trooper. Authorities also released an initial toxicology report for Bland on Monday, a report that two experts who reviewed it for The Associated Press said raises

permit in 2006, there appears to have been nothing in court filings that would raise concerns in the FBI background check system. Contrary to legal filings by Houser’s family, Carroll County Probate Judge Betty Cason said she did not order Houser to be involuntarily committed for mental health treatment at the West Central Regional Hospital in Columbus, Georgia, which is in Muscogee County, where she lacks jurisdiction. Doctors at the hospital would have had to petition that county’s probate judge for such a commitment, so “it wouldn’t have come through me,” Cason told The Associated Press. This might explain why Houser passed a federal background check in February 2014 allowing him to buy the .40-caliber handgun, despite years of erratic and menacing behavior and run-ins with neighbors, local politicians, and law enforcement officials. Houser’s federal background check came back clean, according to a lawyer for the pawn shop where he bought the weapon, Money Miser Northside Pawn in Phenix City.

the possibility that Bland may have used marijuana while in custody. Bland died in the county jail after the traffic stop for failing to use a turn signal escalated into a physical confrontation. Authorities have said Bland hanged herself, a finding her family disputes. “I don’t know if we’ll ever get an answer to all the questions,” said attorney Lewis White of Sugar Land, one of the committee members. “But our job is to get answers. There are going to

be answers some people don’t like.” The panel will have full access to all evidence in the case and the authority to subpoena witnesses, according to White and another member of the committee, attorney Darrell Jordan of Houston. The committee will make recommendations on possible criminal charges to Waller County District Attorney Elton Mathis, White said. If Mathis disagrees with them, the lawyers on the panel will have the authority to present their

findings to the grand jury reviewing Bland’s death, he said. Two other lawyers are expected to be appointed soon. Both White and Jordan are black, and will be dealing with a case that has received international scrutiny and questions about whether Bland was treated differently due to her race. At a news conference announcing the committee, Mathis declined to comment on the toxicology report, saying final findings were still being prepared.

Former state representative lands in Hoxie BY GEORGE JARED Sun Staff Writer gjared@jonesborosun.com

HOXIE — Former state representative Homer Lenderman may have lost his seat in the November elections, but he’s rediscovered his passion in Hoxie. Lenderman spent 30 years teaching Brookland students to weld, farm

a n d p e r form all sorts of tasks that can enrich their lives or lead to careers. Lenderman When the agriculture job opened

on the Hoxie campus, he decided to leave retirement and head to the classroom once more. “I was rattling around like a rock in a box,” he said. Hoxie hire him to revamp the district’s mechanic program. A lot of high school students are not suited to go to college, and many can make

an excellent living working as welders, plumbers, electricians or mechanics, he said. During his tenure in the Legislature, Lenderman was able to pass a slew of bills including one that makes the first day of school uniform across the state. Politics became rancid as the races developed in

the summer and fall last year, he said. The lies and nastiness was more than he could bear. At one point, he started to develop stress-related hives. “I’m never getting back into politics,” he said. Each morning he tends to the school district’s garden. He plucks squash, cucumbers, pep-

pers and other produce and takes them to the cafeteria. His classroom has undergone renovations and is nearly ready for students. The first school bell will be a welcome sound compared to the constant bickering he heard during his last campaign, he said. “I’m looking forward to it,” he said.

County faces expensive fix to data storage deficiency BY HUNTER FIELD Sun Staff Writer hfield@jonesborosun.com

JONESBORO — Craighead County is running out of data storage, and it won’t be a cheap fix. The county only has about 5 percent of its data storage capacity left, and it will cost about $75,000 to get that storage capacity extended for the next two to five years, IT Director Erin Johnson told the quorum court at its meeting Monday night. Johnson has been working with a company to get the county’s storage capacity increased over the last six months, but several justices of the peace were upset Monday night was the first time they heard about the problem, which Johnson said is quickly becoming an emergency. The fix isn’t budgeted in Johnson’s department budget because he didn’t expect to need more data during the budgeting process last year. “We thought we’d be able to make it another year or even two,” he said. Now, the money to cure the problem must come partly from all the departments that use the storage and partly from the County General Fund. Justice Garry Meadows questioned the way Johnson approached the situation. “You said you knew about this in January, so why didn’t you tell us about then?” Meadows asked. Johnson said the county’s storage needs have grown “increasingly quick.” He added that the county only has three months before it’s out of data storage completely. If that happens, Johnson said, offices who use the storage could be down for several weeks. “I’m not scolding you,” Justice Bar-

bara Weinstock said to Johnson. “We just need to have all the facts, not a (gun) to our head saying we need to act now.” The storage increase was never bid out, so the court asked Johnson to bring estimates from other companies back to its next meeting Aug. 10. In other business, justices discussed Bono Lake and the Bono Bridge project. The county is stuck waiting for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission to sign the agreement finalizing the operational procedures of Bono Lake. For the bridge project, the county is waiting for the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department to receive its money from the federal Highway Trust Fund, which is currently stuck in Congress. Craighead County Judge Ed Hill said it would be a bad idea to start anything before the state, which is paying for close to 80 percent of the cost for the Bono Bridge, secures funding for the bridge. He said the county has done everything in its power to begin work on both projects. The court also reappointed members to the Craighead County Public Facilites Board — the public financing entity that has been defunct since 2002. The board approved a bond for Ridgefield Christian School in 2002, but the school has since filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The board is needed to approve changes related to the defaulted bond. The county has no monetary liability tied to the bond. The action was simply a bookkeeping technicality, officials said. The resolution to appoint those board members passed 10-1 with Meadows dissenting.

Local sales taxes see Benefit sales triple at state farmers’ markets slight drop in July BY WILL BOWDEN

Sun Staff Writer wbowden@jonesborosun.com

BY KEITH INMAN Sun Staff Writer inman@jonesborosun.com

JONESBORO — A slight drop in local sales tax revenue in July compared to a year ago may not be cause for alarm. That’s because sales a year ago set the bar so high. The countywide 1 percent sales tax produced $1,508,149 for Craighead County government and 10 municipalities, a drop of about $13,000 or 0.91 percent from July 2014. Jonesboro’s separate 1 percent sales tax brought in $1,356,631, also down 0.91 percent, or about $8,600. For the year-todate, the city’s sales tax revenue remains about 5 percent above last year’s income, Ben Barylske, the city’s chief financial officer, said. Local July sales tax revenue reflects retail sales in May. Retail sales jumped nationwide in May 2014. Gasoline prices in Ar-

kansas rose by nearly 15 cents per gallon during May, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com. July distribution of the county sales tax (based on May sales), with each entity’s percentage share of the money in parentheses, and year-to-date totals: ■ Jonesboro (69.74), $1,051,838, $7,411,948. ■ Craighead County (18.69), $276,603, $1,950,535. ■ Bay (1.8), $28,163, $198,459. ■ Black Oak (0.26), $4,097, $28,870. ■ Bono (2.13), $33,324, $234,822. ■ Brookland (1.64), $30,790, $216,971. ■ Caraway (1.28), $20,001, $140,937. ■ Cash (0.34), $5,348, $37,686. ■ Egypt (0.11), $1,751, $12,342. ■ Lake City (2.08), $32,558, $229,423. ■ Monette (1.5), $23,472, $185,400.

JONESBORO — Farmers’ markets are more popular in Arkansas than ever before, and so is the practice of using government benefits to buy produce at them. That’s according to Arkansas State University Farmers’ Market spokesman Bob Young, who said the A-State program has seen growth in the use of Electronic Benefit Transfers for the six years it has been accepted. “... It really took off last year,” he said of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program credits, formerly called food stamps. Arkansas ranks No. 8 in the top 10 fastest growing farmers’ market systems, with an 82 percent growth for about 100 markets across the state, according to University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture statistics released Monday. ASU’s market is one of 60 in the state that accepts SNAP EBT in exchange for some produce at the markets. Collectively, Arkansas market sales using SNAP have tripled since 2014. In the case of ASU, the increase has largely been attributed to increased public awareness and special promotions, Young said. The market

Such purchases have increased by 300 percent in Arkansas since 2014. offers a special on Tuesdays that gives double credit for SNAP buyers, which brings in numerous return buyers. “We’re seeing more on Tuesday because of the deal,” he said. “Capturing those return buyers is what we’re aiming for.” Young isn’t just interested in SNAP either. He said customers using SNAP are more likely to purchase other goods and produce around the market that aren’t covered by the assistance program. “It’s coming back to all of our sellers,” he said. “You’re seeing increased

sales that have nothing to do with the program.” Programs like ASU’s are a major goal for Arkansas, said SNAP spokeswoman Michele Rodgers. “We would like to see all Arkansas farmers’ markets have the ability to accept SNAP and other food incentive programs,” Rodgers said. She said her office at the Arkansas Department of Human Services was partnering with other agencies to fund those SNAP “Double Dollars” programs for other markets. “This program will as-

sist in making fresh, local food even more affordable,” she said. For Young, the idea of getting premium, healthy foods in the bellies of those who couldn’t usually afford them is a noble goal for the market. “Even if our produce usually costs more, people know where it comes from. It’s healthy, and doing whatever we can to get that to the people who need it is what we work toward,” Young said. “As more people learn that they can get food this way, we’re going to see more people using it.”

Search underway for two teens BY MATT SEDENSKY AND JOSHUA REPLOGLE Associated Press

JUPITER, Fla. — The Coast Guard searched “aggressively” off the Florida coast and friends combed the shoreline Monday for any sign of two teenage fishermen, described as experienced boaters, who went missing three days earlier after setting out for the Bahamas on a stormy afternoon. What began as a teenage summer adventure — a chaperone-free getaway on the high seas — took an ominous turn after the 19-foot boat that carried Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos was found capsized and days of searches proved fruitless. But authorities and the boys’ families held out hope, saying the teens were consummate seamen and a rescue is still possible. “Our intentions are to continue to search aggressively,” Coast Guard Capt. Mark Fedor said at a news conference Monday evening, but that the decision was being reevaluated daily. Earlier in the day, Coast Guard Petty Officer Steve Lehmann said the search was going on under “the highest level of optimism.” He declined to say how long it would continue beyond “the time being.” Crews studied ocean currents and zeroed in on an area off Jacksonville as the most likely position for the boys Monday. Meanwhile, the teens’ families

The teens were last seen Friday afternoon buying fuel near Jupiter and were believed to have been heading toward the Bahamas. and a famous neighbor — NFL Hall of Famer Joe Namath — pledged to walk the beaches beginning in their hometown of Tequesta in hopes of finding clues. “We need every clue and we need everyone’s help,” said Nick Korniloff,

derstorms with heavy rains were expected there until sunset. Fedor called it “typical South Florida weather” and said there still was no clue why the boat capsized. One life jacket was found near the boat, and it was unclear how many life jackets had been on board. Water temperatures were warm and not cited as a factor in the boys’ survival. The teens’ vessel was found Sunday off Ponce Inlet, more than 180 miles north of where the boys began their journey. Though the boat was overturned it did not appear damaged. No foul play was suspected. The Coast Guard said Monday that by midnight, its search will have covered an area the size of West Virginia. Searchers were using helicopter, boat and airplane, and local authorities and the USS Carney also joined the efforts to locate the boys. The families of the teens are offering $100,000 reward in the search.

Time is enemy in Brown autopsy

CHALLENGER | ®

Medical examiners performing an autopsy on Bobbi Kristina Brown said Monday their initial findings turned up no obvious cause of death, while experts said the months that have passed since Brown was found face-down in a bathtub are working against authorities now tasked with solving how she died. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office said in a statement Monday afternoon that it will likely be several weeks before it can rule on a manner and cause of death for the 22-yearold daughter of Whitney Houston. The agency said its initial autopsy turned up “no significant injuries” or “previously unknown medical conditions.” It said the next step is ordering lab tests and issuing subpoenas for documents — most likely Brown’s hospital records. Experts said time is definitely an enemy in Brown’s case. Any drugs she might have taken passed from her bloodstream long ago. Physical injuries would have been healing even as Brown remained largely unresponsive. If police overlooked any physical evidence at

Singer Cissy Houston and her granddaughter Bobbi Kristina Brown attend the premiere party for “The Houstons On Our Own” on Oct. 22, 2012, at the Tribeca Grand hotel in New York. Brown, daughter of the late entertainer Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown, died Sunday, several months after she was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub. Brown’s home after she was hospitalized Jan. 31, recovering it nearly six months later may be impossible. Dr. Michael Baden, former medical examiner for New York City, has performed more than 20,000 autopsies during a career spanning more than 45 years. He said the first obstacle for forensic pathologists in Brown’s case will be a living body’s ability to mend itself and erase medical evidence.

“Normally, when we do autopsies, we do them in people who freshly died. Things like toxicology and injuries are clear,” said Baden, who helped investigate high-profile cases including the deaths of comedian John Belushi and civil rights worker Medgar Evers. “Because she was in the hospital for a long time, any drugs that may have been in the body will be gone after a few days. Injuries, if there were any injuries, would

be changed by the length of time, the healing process.” That means Brown’s hospital records will be as important, if not more so, to medical examiners investigating her death as physical evidence from her autopsy. Baden said it’s highly possible doctors screened Brown’s blood for drugs as soon as she was admitted to the hospital. Her medical charts may also note any physical injuries observed by doctors who first treated her. The initial report by emergency medical technicians who first responded to Brown’s home could also yield critical clues, he said. Dr. Henry Lee, the forensic scientist whose famous cases include the death of child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey, said the passage of time could make Brown’s autopsy “much harder.” But he said valuable clues could possibly still be gained from examining her lungs and digestive system. And lab tests of any clothing she may have worn the day she was rushed to the hospital could turn up residue of drugs or other toxins. “There’s a lot of stuff you can do,” Lee said.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter is a 29-yearold new mother. I know times have changed since I was a new mom, but the restrictions my daughter has put on visiting her and my new grandson are unrealistic. Since his birth three weeks ago, I have seen him only once — at the hospital. She has taken him on two outings: one where there were 10 people and another where there were more than 100. (My grandson has not yet received any of his childhood vaccinations.) My daughter now says that when I visit, I must change into freshly washed clothes before entering her house. She’s afraid that the secondhand smoke will harm him. I’m not unintelligent. I have bought disinfectants to spray on myself, as well as breath strips. I also wash my hands, arms and face before I hold him. Am I unrealistic in thinking she’s asking too much, or should I say something to her and let her know how much she has hurt me? — Crying Day and Night DEAR CRYING: I do think you should talk to your daughter. What she may be trying to do is encourage you to quit smoking. I doubt that she’s doing it to be hurtful. Her motivation may be that she knows how unhealthy smoking is and would like you to be around until your grandchild is well into adulthood. The odds of that happening will be higher if you can find a way to give up tobacco. And when you do, consider putting all the money you save — and it will be plenty — into an education fund for your grandson. ■■■

ST. LOUIS — Kolten Wong came through with the bases loaded. When faced with the same predicament, Lance Lynn minimized the damage. Wong hit a grand slam that backed Lynn’s seven resourceful innings and led the St. Louis Cardinals over the Cincinnati Reds 4-1 Monday night. “I told myself, don’t get beat by the fastball,” Wong said. “It was one of those where you hit it and you know you hit it with everything you’ve got, so if it doesn’t go out it’s a tough time.” Wong connected on a 3-2 fastball from rookie Raisel Iglesias (1-3) with two outs in the fourth, putting St. Louis ahead 4-1. Wong’s second career grand slam easily cleared the right-field wall, landing in the home bullpen. Iglesias said through a translator he struck out Wong the prior at-bat on “two bad pitches,” but the St. Louis leadoff man didn’t bite the next time. “He made the adjustments really fast,” Iglesias said. “So I have to come back with something hard in the middle, and you saw the consequence.” The Cardinals have won six of seven. They are a big leaguebest 64-35 and lead the NL Central by 6 1/2 games. Lynn (8-5) allowed one run

and five hits in seven innings, improving to 7-3 against the Reds. He has won five of his last six decisions overall. “My fastball command was terrible tonight, all night really,” Lynn said. “But I was able to make pitches when I needed to.” Trevor Rosenthal earned his 31st save in 33 chances after getting two days off. Jay Bruce hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the third for the Reds, who have lost seven of 10. “We didn’t do our job when we had the chance to, and they did their job,” Billy Hamilton said. “When we get those chances, we’ve got to come through like Wong did.” The starting pitchers combined to hit five batters. The dugouts were warned in the sixth after Iglesias, who hit three batters, plunked Peter Bourjos for the second time. Iglesias hit two in 34 2-3 innings prior to this start. The Reds have had 46 games started by rookies. The Reds loaded the bases with none out in the third before Bruce’s sacrifice fly. The next batter, Brayan Pena, grounded into a double play. “Bases loaded with a guy that’s done damage on me and they only get one, it was a good inning,” Lynn said.

Manziel still behind McCown for Browns Baine takes BY TOM WITHERS Associated Press

BEREA, Ohio — Johnny Manziel had an uneventful summer, but his improved behavior hasn’t changed his position on Cleveland’s depth chart. Browns coach Mike Pettine said Monday that veteran Josh McCown will open training camp as the team’s No. 1 quarterback, but Manziel, the former Heisman Trophy winner who had a disastrous rookie season, still has a chance to win the job based on his performance. Meeting with reporters in advance of the team opening camp later this week, Pettine said McCown likely will start the season opener against the New York Jets on Sept. 13. However, Pettine said Manziel can potentially unseat McCown. “I don’t think anything’s changed,” Pettine said. “The repetitions will be handled that way, with Josh as the 1. I wouldn’t say I’m guaranteeing today that Josh McCown is going to be the starter against the Jets. A lot can happen in a preseason.” Manziel, who spent 10 weeks during the offseason in a Pennsylvania rehab facility specializing in drug and alcohol ad-

Unlike last summer, Manziel did not make any headlines with his off-field conduct and Pettine was impressed that the QB recently worked out in Florida with for-

mer NFL coach and TV analyst Jon Gruden. “This was vacation time for a lot of guys, so the fact that he sought out Jon and went down there and worked with him and was thinking about football, to

me I see that as nothing but a positive,” Pettine said. Pettine said the team “felt very comfortable” with Manziel’s plans for the offseason and reiterated that the Browns won’t micromanage their players. The Browns made sure their players followed a prescribed conditioning program and the team’s position coaches occasionally checked in on their players. Pettine said he didn’t worry about Manziel having a slipup. “We weren’t going to beat him up, hover over him, making sure he was doing the right thing,” Pettine said. “He’s a professional athlete. I did not spend one day of my vacation, it never popped into my head, ‘Hmmm, I wonder where Johnny is right now and what he’s doing?’” Pettine addressed a number of other issues heading into his second camp, including former Oakland quarterback Terrelle Pryor’s transition to wide receiver. The Browns signed Pryor, the former Ohio State star, earlier this summer and are intrigued by what he might be able to provide for a team looking for offensive playmakers. “We’re going to throw him right into the mix,” Pettine said of the 6-foot-4, 225-pound Pryor.

NASCAR blew it on Indy rules package BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Run, NASCAR, don’t walk, back to the drawing board to figure out how to liven up racing. The rules package used for the Brickyard 400 was a failure no matter how the race is dissected. The high-drag aerodynamic package was supposed to improve passing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was clear from the first practice session for one of the most important races of the season that NASCAR did not meet its desired result. Yet nothing was changed

before Sunday’s race, which featured just 16 lead changes. In fairness, that was one more lead change than last year’s race at the Brickyard, but it was still the second fewest since 2011. NASCAR’s statistics also showed that green-flag passes were down by 587 from last year. When the race finally ended, the drivers were less than complimentary of the event. Kevin Harvick called the rules package “a huge science project,” and Matt Kenseth called it “terrible.” Even race winner Kyle Busch had issues in traffic.

“Whether you were behind a guy or behind a group of cars, you were horrible,” he said. “It was just absolutely so hard to handle in traffic. You don’t want to feel like you’re going off into the corner and you’re going to crash every time.” Behind the scenes, teams fumed all weekend that Gene Stefanyshyn, NASCAR’s vice president of racing development and the architect for the Indianapolis aero package, was on a family vacation and not even at Indy. The reality, though, is that his Please see NASCAR | B2

Bryant’s homer lifts Cubs over Rockies Associated Press

CHICAGO — Kris Bryant’s two-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted the Chicago Cubs to a 9-8 victory over the Colorado Rockies 9-8 on Monday night. Colorado had taken an 8-7 lead in the ninth inning on a two-run home run by Carlos Gonzalez, but Bryant hit the second pitch he saw from John Axford (3-4) over the wall in left-center to give Chicago a dramatic victory and snap a threegame skid. Trailing 7-4, the Rockies scored four times in the ninth to move ahead. Jason Motte started the ninth by allowing a pinch-home run to Daniel Descalso, a single to Charlie Blackmon and a double to D.J. LeMahieu.

Orioles 2, Braves 1 BALTIMORE — Matt Wieters homered leading off the 11th inning, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Atlanta Braves for their third straight victory. Wieters hit a 1-0 pitch from Luis Avilan (2-4) over the center-field wall. It was Wieters’ fourth home run, the first since June 25, and his teammates celebrated by dousing him with a bucket of water at the plate.

It was the fifth straight win for the White Sox, coming off a four-game sweep at home over Cleveland. Eaton had a triple, double and single to key Chicago’s 15-hit night. Boston’s David Ortiz homered for the third time in two games, hitting a two-run shot after a career-best, seven-RBI night with two three-run homers Sunday.

Rays 5, Tigers 2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Curt Casali homered twice, Nathan Karns took a shutout into the seventh inning and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Detroit Tigers. Casali’s first homer

came on the first pitch of the third inning by Anibal Sanchez, who lost for the first time in nine starts since June 3. Casali added a towering two-run homer off Bruce Rondon in the eighth.

Yankees 6, Rangers 2

ARLINGTON, Texas — Alex Rodriguez homered on his 40th birthday, helping the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers. A-Rod’s solo drive in the sixth off Matt Harrison (12) made him only the fourth player in major league history to homer both as a teenager and in his 40s, according to STATS, joining joined Ty Cobb, Rusty Staub and Gary Sheffield. Rodriguez hit his big league-best sixth homer on his birthday, STATS said, breaking a tie with Todd Helton, Chipper Jones, Derrek Lee and Al Simmons.

CARDS CONTINUED FROM B1

Yadier Molina doubled and Stephen Piscotty singled to start the fourth. Bourjos was hit by a pitch, loading the bases with one out ahead of the slam by Wong — also his 100th hit. “There’s just a few people in the league at that position with that skill set that he has,” Cardinals manager Mike

Matheny said. “He gets in that big spot, he has a lot of faith in himself that he’s going to get that done.”

Cardinals: Molina felt ill after taking a foul ball in the facemask off the bat of Todd Frazier in the fourth and was replaced by pinch-hitter Tony Cruz in the fifth. Cruz

stayed in the game and caught. “After the foul ball my stomach started feeling bad,” Molina said. “It was nothing in my head, just the stomach.” ... Randal Grichuk was out of the lineup after tweaking his groin Sunday. An MRI showed no serious injury, and Matheny said Grichuk might get another day off, too. Matt Holliday got a regular day off.

Like his employees entrusted to fix the racing, he looked forward to Indianapolis and the package designed by NASCAR. France made it clear: He wants pack racing, he wants cars making slingshot passes and he wants excitement. He didn’t get it Sunday.

So, we’ll take time.”

If there was a way to bottle what IndyCar does on ovals, NASCAR would buy it in truckloads. But the route NASCAR followed has failed, and the series is stubbornly staying the course despite the results. Series officials listened to what the drivers wanted and used a low-downforce package at Kentucky. Maybe it was a better race, maybe it wasn’t.

Chinese stocks plunge, Fiber optics may pay off damage global markets BY KEN SWEET AP Business Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The worst drop in Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock market in eight years helped drag down other markets around the world Monday. The tough day follows declines in U.S. markets last week, when the three major indexes fell more than 2 percent as a number of big companies reported disappointing earnings. Faced with a drop in stock prices in Asia, Europe and the U.S., investors moved into traditional safe havens. The yield

on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell to 2.22 percent from 2.26 percent on Friday. The price of gold rose 1 percent. Dividend-heavy stocks, like utilities, also gained. Investors favor high-dividend companies during times of volatility because they provide a reliable income stream. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There remain very few buyers out there and there are some growing concerns that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at a slowdown in global economic growth,â&#x20AC;? said Sean Lynch, co-head of global equity strategy

with the Wells Fargo Investment Institute. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 127.94 points, or 0.7 percent, to 17,440.59. The Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index lost 12.01 points, or 0.6 percent, to 2,067.64 and the Nasdaq composite lost 48.85 points, or 1 percent, to 5,039.78. It was the fifth straight loss for the U.S. market. The S&P 500 is still up about half a percent for the year. The Dow is down 2 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq is up 6 percent.

Orders for durable goods jump Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Orders to U.S. factories for big-ticket manufactured goods posted a sizable gain in June, but the advance was fueled by higher demand for commercial aircraft. Outside of this volatile category, a key category that represents business investment rose by a far more modest amount. Orders for durable goods jumped 3.4 percent in June from May, when orders had fallen 2.1 percent, the Commerce Department reported Monday. The gain was the best result since March. However, the jump was driven by aircraft orders booked by Boeing at the Paris air show. A category viewed as a proxy for business investment plans rose a slower 0.9 percent. While this was the strongest showing since March, it followed two months of de-

Through the first six months of this year, demand in the investment category is running 3.4 percent below the same period a year ago. Total orders for durable goods, items expected to last at least three years, are running 2 percent lower through the first half of this year compared to the first six months of 2014.

U.S. manufacturers have struggled this year from the effects of a strong dollar and a plunge in energy prices. The higher value of the dollar against foreign currencies makes U.S. goods more expensive and less competitive in major export markets, while the lower oil prices have led energy companies to scale back investment plans.

Dear Mr. Berko: My broker is touting a low-priced telephone company called Cincinnati Bell and seems to have an inside track on the company. He thinks that changes in the direction of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business to a fiber-optic cable communications company could make it very profitable, as well as Malcolm a takeover candidate in Berko | a few years. He predicts a price in the high $20s in the coming 18 months. If you think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 50-50 chance that will happen, I will buy 15,000 shares. What do you think? T.R. Springfield, Ill. Dear T.R.: I suspect that your broker is smoking too many of those left handed Luckys! Yes, things have changed significantly since 1874, when Cincinnati Bell (CBB-$3.86) charged its subscribers $300 a year for a phone line not more than 1 mile in length. Today CBB is a diversified telecommunications and technology company with 3,100 employees and $1.3 billion in 2014 revenues. More than a dozen years ago, before the iPhone and iPad, before Netflix and streaming, before Facebook and Twitter, CBB was a $30 stock with lots of promise. But leaping changes in technology turned CBB into a turtle on Xanax. Serving the Cincinnati and Dayton metro areas, CBB operates in three business segments: wireline, IT services and hardware and wireless. Most investors, however, ignore this company and consider CBB a Neanderthal because it provides traditional land-based phone services in a communications market that is being forced out of business by cable and wireless competition. But investors may not realize that in 2012, the board decided to sell off its data storage and wireless phone businesses and use the proceeds to fund a dramatic bet into a fiber-optic cable company. With fiber optics, signals are sent via extremely thin strands of glass, and the technology is 100 times faster than conventional cable. And CBBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new business looks as if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really beginning to pay off. In 2014, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiber optics division had $310 million in revenues, which was just under 25 percent of total revenues, and some CBB observers believe that the amount will exceed $600 mil-

lion by the end of next year. Though revenues for 2015 are expected to decline by about 9 percent because of CBBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exit from its wireless business, very positive trends are developing for 2016. Last quarter, CBB added 11,600 new high-speed Internet customers (it now has 124,600 subscribers) and over 97,000 video subscribers. The company will probably lose 4 cents a share this year and eke out a small profit in 2016. Sometimes making a profit is like trying to milk an anvil. But analysts who follow CBB anticipate strong long-term margin benefits when CBB exits the wireless business. Meanwhile, already identified cost reductions and savings, plus growth in its fiber optics division, should allow CBB to post respectable earnings by 2017. CBB doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay a dividend, but its long-term debt of $1.6 billion is the lowest itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in a dozen years. Though this has been a rotten-egg investment during the past decade â&#x20AC;&#x201D; trading as low as $1.75 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some analysts (Morningstar and Market Edge) think CBB could regain respectability and trade in the mid-$5 range soon. I believe thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 70-30 chance CBB can reach the $5 to $5.50 level in the next 18 months. But I think your brokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-$20s prediction smells like GAPO, or gorilla armpit odor. However, if you insist on taking a flyer, I suggest buying only 6,000 shares ($23,160) and then purchasing 500 shares of Cincinnati Bellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6.75 percent Series B cumulative convertible preferred stock (CBB-B), trading at $49.64 and yielding 6.84 percent. This was a $150 million initial public offering of 3.1 million shares in April 2000 at $50 a share. The shares are callable at $50 and are convertible into 1.442 shares of common stock. This is known as a busted preferred because the common has to trade at such a high premium ($34.67) to the $50 call price to break even. Investing half in the common stock with zero dividend and half in CBB-B will give you a 3.42 percent current return while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re â&#x20AC;&#x153;waiting for Godot.â&#x20AC;? CBB-B is not rated; however, the preferredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 84-cent quarterly dividend was just paid. Please address your financial questions to Malcolm Berko, P.O.

The Dow Jones industrial average is down 2.2 percent this year and Caterpillar isn’t helping. The construction equipment company’s stock is down 17.7 percent and was one of six in the Dow that set a 52-week low on Monday. A key concern is China. China’s economic growth slowed to 7.4 percent last year, the slowest since 1990 when it was 3.8 percent. And growth is expected to fall further to 6.8 percent this year and 6.3 percent in 2016. “The economy in China is actually slowing even further than most people expected,’’ says Bill Selesky, an analyst at Argus Research, noting that its economic problems are probably the biggest factor driving down Caterpillar stock. Caterpillar has also been dinged because mining and energy companies have reacted to a drop in commodity prices by cutting equipment purchases. Even so, Selesky says it might be a good time to buy Caterpillar stock, especially “if you believe that 2016 may be better than 2015.’’ Caterpillar carries a dividend yield of 4.1 percent, “so you are paid to wait, wait,’’ he says, and tthe company has an announced plans to repur repurchase $1.5 billion in stock in the third q quarter.

Single letters, short words and words using an apostrophe give you clues to locating vowels. Solution is by trial and error. ©2013 by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

HOROSCOPE | There is no one standard of success that applies to all people. The people who wonder why “soand-so” hasn’t “made it big” are frustrated in their own lives. As the moon moves from Sagittarius, the station that sees greener grass on the other side, to ambitious Capricorn, try to stay focused on what makes you happy. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19). You’ve gotten good at relating to people who are different from you. Your style works in multiple circumstances. Your words spoken with confidence will produce results. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20). What you don’t understand far exceeds what you do understand. Recognizing all you don’t know is a

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS mark of high intelligence. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21). You may feel that your efforts are neither focused nor persistent enough to make a difference. But it’s the fact that you’re making an effort at all that makes the difference. CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22). When it comes to being you, you’re the master. Others will make suggestions you’re not keen on following. You only have to please yourself. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). Arrogance is the daddy of all sins. When dealing with victims of a superiority complex, remember that pride is the hallmark of those with the least to be proud of. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (JULY 28). Your

loved ones will consider you to be among the brightest and strongest they know, and you’ll spend much of the year living up to the reputation. It’s important to take time for yourself over the next six weeks. Rest and revel in fun. September brings a career boost. October introduces you to new friends. Aries and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 1, 44, 17 and 38. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). If you can’t change your mind, you can’t change anything. That’s why any effort you make to expand your realm of influence should be considered important, even if it seems more like play than work. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23). Your

thoughts of a certain person make you forget to do the ordinary things you would usually do. That’s how you can tell you’re smitten. And when you’re smitten with the same person, it’s even more wondrous. SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21). You have the bright ideas today. But you also have a difficult group of strong-willed people to contend with. When you make it seem like their idea, they like it more. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21). You wouldn’t be trying if you didn’t care. So don’t worry about whether you’re saying or doing it right. It’s a beautiful day when your good intentions shine through. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19). You’re

not dreaming it. There really is a lack of organized creativity out there. You just capture and apply the stellar ideas before they drift off into the ether. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18). Reconsider your contacts. It’s not who you know; it’s who you can influence. Knowing someone doesn’t count for much if that person isn’t willing to act like a friend. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20). The thing about achieving accomplishments is that after a moment of glory you begin to worry about what they’ll expect from you next. Keep doing the work that makes you happy. The horoscope is an entertainment feature and is not based on fact.
