Episode Details

Coming up on this week's episode, the Labor Day holiday might have shortened the work week for our government agencies, but the Bentonville City Council could have probably used another vacation after the marathon session the next night.

The Springdale City Council had a much shorter session as it approved the contract to work on the eastern gateway to downtown, while the Board of Education heard the update on the Westwood Elementary construction.

Rogers-based America's Car-Mart would also see its name in the paper as it attempts to stave off the wolves at the door in advance of its shareholder's meeting.

The crime highlights featured the retirements of a couple of suspected cocaine dealers while there was more drama involving the Benton County Judge's race with the retiring incumbent offering to delay his departure if the heir apparent renounces his gavel.

We also marked the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 terror attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania with area organizations marking the occasion with ceremonies and acts of service.

Our Benton County Extension report offers some advice for homeowners as the drought continues to tighten its grip on the region.

And our trip off the beaten path takes us to Waiblingen, Germany, where the descendant of the Stihl company's founder commemorated Labor Day with comments suggesting that Stihl wasn't just a noun, but also a verb.
