to host
reception
at Elberta
Area artists
Amber Lemser and
Lisa Kay will present a reception
for their art show
entitled “Twenty
Something”
Sat., April 19 at
the Elberta Arts
Center in Nashville.
The event is set to
begin at 5 p.m.
A 27 year old
Arkansas native,
Lemser began her
career as an artist
at a very young
age, winning a
Crayola Crayon
contest at age four
that inspired her
to create more
art. As she progressed through
her young adult
life, Lemser said
she was fascinated
by art materials,
and would often
spend countless
hours trying to
reproduce what
she was observing. She studied
at Henderson
State University,
obtaining a degree
in art education,
and is currently
employed as a
teacher at De
Queen public
schools. Since
starting there, she
has accomplished
many community involvement
activities with
other art instructors and strives
to build a better
community in her
school through
art scholarship
programs for students, establishing
a school artwork
auction within
her district, and
creating student
school art shows
for community
enrichment. She
is also obtaining
her Master’s degree through the
Distance Learning
Center at the University of Florida.
Lemser’s
early work focused
mainly on the
human form,
and she had her
irst solo show
in 2009, titled
“Self Expression,”
which was based
on self-portraits
and portraits of
humans. Most of
her current work
is done in mixed
media, but she
also has a love for
watercolor.
Lisa Kay is a
mixed media artist
from Winthrop who
obtained a bachelor of ine arts
in studio art from
Henderson State
University in 2007,
and after much
thought, returned
to Henderson, and
received a bachelor of science in art
education in 2011.
She has been an
art teacher since
August 2012 and
currently is the
Pre-K through
12th grade
art teacher at
Haworth, Oklahoma. Kay’s recent
body of work was
started last April,
after a tumultuous time in her
life. Her work is
created from layers of watercolor
paper, foam board,
drawings, and
paintings to create
an unusual sense
of depth.

Local man charged with sex crime

NASHVILLE - A local man
accused of engaging in sexual
intercourse with a 14 year old
girl entered a not guilty plea
to a charge stemming from
the allegation Wednesday
in Howard County Circuit
Court.
Peyton Cox, 20, was or-
dered to return to court
July 2 after entering the plea
via public defender Greg
Vardaman. He is charged
with sexual indecency with
a child.
According to court documents, the charge against
Cox stems from an investigation that began in August of
last year, when the alleged
victim told officers of the
Nashville Police Department
she “had sexual intercourse
with [Cox] (19 years of age)
in his Jeep at the Nashville
City Park.”
The affidavit further alleges that the victim told
police she and Cox were dating at the time of the incident
and that “she snuck out of
her grandparents’ house on
several occasions.”
“[Cox] picked her up
down the street,” police
wrote in the affidavit. “She
stated she had sexual intercourse with [Cox] several
times during the month of
June 2013.”
Cox was interviewed by
Nashville police March 5
and allegedly admitted to
“having sexual intercourse
with this 14 year old female
in the Nashville City Park
on several occasions,” the
affidavit states.
A person can be charged
with sexual indecency with
a child if they are 18 years
of age or older and solicit
another person who is less
than 15 years of age to engage in deviate sexual activity. The charge is a class D
felony.

Men arrested in
connection with
copper theft
NASHVILLE - A local man
accused of having sexual
contact with a 14 year old
boy was sentenced to six
years in the Arkansas Department of Correction with
two suspended Wednesday
in Howard County Circuit
Court.
Lee Baker, 40, received
the sentence after pleading
guilty to a charge of sexual
indecency with a child. He
was also ordered to pay
court costs and must register
as a sex offender.
According to court documents, the allegation against
Baker stems from an arrest
made in November of last
year that began when Officer
Greg Parker of the Nashville
Police Department noticed a
vehicle sitting in the rail yard
off Russell St.
“Officer Parker walked up
to the vehicle and the driver
of the vehicle had all of his
clothes off,” police wrote in
the arrest affidavit attached
to Baker’s case file. “Officer
Parker noticed a young male
sitting in the passenger seat
with his shirt off.”
The driver, later identified
as Baker, originally gave Park-
BAKER
er a false
name and
birth date,
according to
the affidavit.
Police later
learned that
the passenger was 14
years old.
During a subsequent interview with police, Baker
allegedly claimed he met
the juvenile male on a social
network and “went to the
victim’s residence and picked
him up on November 14, 2013
with the intention of having
sexual contact.”
“Lee stated that the victim
represented himself to be 18
years of age on the social
network,” police wrote in
the affidavit. “Lee stated that
when he picked him up, he
asked him again if he was 18
years of age. The victim told
him that he was.”
Baker then admitted to
having “deviate sexual activity with the victim,” the
affidavit concludes.
A person can be charged
with sexual indecency with
a child if they are 18 years of
age or older and solicit another person who is less than

NASHVILLE - Two local
men have been arrested in
connection with the theft
of copper wire from a local
business.
Juan Quintero, 18, and
Loc Q. Pham, 23, were taken
into custody Friday as the
result of an investigation
conducted by Investigator
Larry Marion of the Nashville
Police Department.
According to the affidavits of arrest related to the
case, Deputy Joey Davis was
interviewing Pham on April
3 when he allegedly stated
he had “been getting several rolls of copper wire from
[Quintero] at Just Poultry in
Nashville.”
“Mr. Pham stated that
he carried a few loads of
wire to L&W Scrap Yard in
Nashville, and a few loads
to Tri-State Iron and Metal,”
police wrote in the affidavit.
“Mr. Quintero ... stated that
he would call Mr. Pham to
QUINTERO
PHAM
come to the store and they
would load rolls of copper
wire into Mr. Pham’s vehicle.
Once the wire was sold they
would split the money they
received from the scrap
yard.”
Police say tickets from
the sale of the metal indicate
Pham sold 112 pounds on
January 17, 461 pounds on
March 14 and 358 pounds
on March 21, while Quintero
sold 503 pounds on March
15.
Quintero has been an
employee of Just Poultry
since September of last
year. Terry Delozier, owner
of the business, estimated
the value of the stolen metal
to be between $8,000 and
$10,000.

A halo for
selfishness
The recent Supreme Court decision over-ruling
some Federal Election Commission restrictions on
political campaign contributions has provoked angry
reactions on the left. That is what often happens
whenever the High Court rules that the First Amendment means what it says — free speech for everybody.
When the Supreme Court declared in 2010 that
both unions and corporations had a right to buy political ads, that was considered outrageous by the left.
President Obama called
the decision "devastating" and said it "will open
ThOmas
the floodgates for special
sOWELL
interests."
Creators
Those unfamiliar with
Syndicate
political rhetoric may not
know that "special interests" mean people who
support your opponents.
One's own organized supporters — such as labor
unions supporting President Obama — are never
called "special interests."
All politicians are against "special interests," by
definition. They all want their own supporters to have
the right to free speech, but not those individuals and
groups so benighted as to support their opponents.
Even in an age of polarization and gridlock, the
one area in which it is easy to get bipartisan support
in Congress is in passing campaign finance laws,
restricting how much money can be spent publicizing
political candidates. What Congressional Democrats
and Republicans have in common is that they are all
incumbents, and they all want to keep their jobs.
Publicity is necessary to win elections, and incumbents get millions of dollars' worth of free publicity
from the media. Incumbents can all pontificate in
Congress and be covered by C-SPAN. They can get
interviewed on network television, have their pictures
in the newspapers, and send out mail to their constituents back home — and none of this costs them a
dime.
Congressional staffs, paid by the taxpayers, are
supposed to help members of Congress with the
burdens of their office, but a major part of their staff's
work is to help get them re-elected.
That's not just during campaign years. Everything
members of Congress do is done with an eye toward
re-election.
Any outsider who wants to challenge an incumbent
at the next Congressional election has to pay hard
cash to buy ads and arrange other forms of publicity, in order just to get some comparable amount of
name-recognition, so as to have any serious chance of
winning an election against an incumbent.
Few people have the kind of money it takes for
such a campaign, so they have to raise money — in
the millions of dollars — to pay for what incumbents
get free of charge.
Campaign finance laws that restrict who can contribute how much money, who can run political ads,
etc., are all restrictions on political challengers who
have to buy their own publicity.
If truth-in-packaging laws applied to Congress, a
campaign finance law would have to be labeled an
"Incumbents Protection Act."
The very high rate of incumbent re-elections, even
while polls show the public disgusted with Congress
in general, shows how well incumbents are protected.
The media are accessories to this scam.
So long as the information and opinions that reach
the public are selected by mainstream media people,
whom polls show to be overwhelmingly on the left,
the left's view of the world prevails.
Hence the great alarm in the media, and in equally
one-sided academia, over the emergence of conservative talk radio programs and the Fox News Channel on
television.
No longer can the three big broadcast television
networks determine what the public will and will not
see, nor two or three leading newspapers determine
what is and is not news. Nobody wants to give up that
kind of power.
When businesses that are demonized in the mainstream media, and in academia, can buy ads to present their side of the story, that is regarded in both the
media and academia as distortion. At the very least, it
can cost the left their self-awarded halo.
It is fascinating to see how some people — in both
politics and the media — can depict their own narrow
self-interest as a holy crusade for the greater good of
society. The ability of the human mind to rationalize is
one of the wonders of the world.

Lawrence Graves, President
A tax reformer’s uphill push
WASHINGTON -- The Sisyphean task of tax reform
should be tried only by
someone who will not flinch
from igniting some highly
flammable people -- those
who believe that whatever wrinkle in the tax code
benefits them is an eternal
entitlement. Tax reform’s
Senate champion is Ron
Wyden, the affable, cerebral
and tall Oregon Democrat
who once wanted to be the
NBA’s greatest Jewish power
forward since ... never mind.
Anyway, a serious Republican reform plan has
been produced by Rep. Dave
Camp, who is retiring from
Congress but will probably
be succeeded as chairman
of the tax-writing Ways and
Means Committee by Paul
Ryan, who has a wholesome
monomania about promoting economic growth. Conservatives should rejoice
that the Senate’s most important chairmanship, that
of the Finance Committee,
has come to Wyden, whose
progressive credentials are
impeccable but who says:
“We like expanding the winners’ circle.” And who believes that economic growth
of 4 percent is not only feasible but urgent.
Furthermore, the Congressional Budget Office
might do “dynamic scoring”
rather than “static scoring”
of tax reform. That is, the
CBO would consider probable behavioral changes -- by
workers, business executives, investors, savers and
GEORGE
WILL
Washington
Post
consumers -- when projecting the revenue results of
reforms that change incentives. If the reforms were
likely to increase economic
growth, the CBO would estimate increased government
revenues, reducing resistance to tax cuts.
Although Wyden, 64, is
in only his third full term, in
January he will be the Senate’s seventh-most senior
Democrat. If Republicans
then control the Senate,
Wyden will be the ranking
Democrat on Finance, which
probably will be chaired by
Utah’s Orrin Hatch, who is
the most senior Republican
and second-most (behind
Vermont Democrat Pat Leahy) senior senator. Wyden
comes from Portland, the
Vatican of progressivism, so
Democrats may tolerate him
collaborating with Hatch and
Ryan -- adult supervision for
the congressional sandbox
-- in crafting tax reforms that
respond to the CBO’s recent
ominous economic outlook
for 2014-2024.
It projects growth through
this year of about 3 percent.
This would be “the largest
rise in nearly a decade” but
would be anemia continued,
considering that the unprecedentedly weak recovery
from the recession has left
median household income
3.3 percent lower than when
the recovery began almost
five years ago. The CBO
says that after 2017, “growth
will diminish to a pace that
is well below the average
seen over the past several
decades.” It cites “long-term
trends -- particularly, slower
growth in the labor force” as
the population ages.
The CBO also mentions
other reasons the growth
potential is “much slower
than the average since 1950”:
“Changes in people’s economic incentives caused
by federal tax and spending
policies set in current law
are expected to keep hours
worked and potential output
... lower than they would be
otherwise.”
Growth-igniting tax reform is required to rescue
the nation from a “new normal” of appalling underemployment. Wyden, whose
state produces wood products, says “housing is a very
real economic multiplier -- it
cannot be outsourced,” so
do not expect him to favor
substantial curtailment of
the deductibility of mortgage
interest payments, a $70
billion benefit disproportionately benefiting affluent
homeowners. Wyden’s party
will insist on preserving the
deductibility of state and
local taxes, a nearly $80 billion benefit that encourages
state and local spending.
Unions, especially, will fight
for the $260 billion benefit

of not taxing as compensation, which it obviously is,
employer-provided health
insurance. “You never,” says
Wyden equably, “get to start
from scratch in Washington.”
Of the nation’s embarrassing down-at-the-heels
infrastructure -- roads, airports, harbors -- Wyden says,
“You can’t have a big-league
quality of life and big-league
economic growth with little
league infrastructure.” He
has a plan (“Build America
Bonds”) for getting “billions
of private dollars off the sidelines” and into infrastructure
investments.
In addition to minimizing
growth-suppressing economic distortions, tax simplification would reform
politics by shrinking opportunities for transactions
between private factions and
the political class. This class
confers favors as much with
the tax code as with appropriations. “You can drain the
swamp,” says Wyden. “They
did it in ‘86.”
Yes, Congress simplified
the code, eliminating preferences to pay for lower rates,
but the swamp was unimpressed: Since then, the code
has been re-complicated
more than 15,000 times. Still,
Wyden, ebullient in the face
of daunting evidence, will,
like Sisyphus, roll the reform
boulder up the mountain,
challenging the axiom that
tax reform cannot be done in
an election year or the year
before one, which are the
only years we have.
what is named Sebelius vs.
Hobby Lobby.
We can debate all day
about this case or we can
get down to what, to me,
is the heart of the matter:
Does a privately owned
company have to provide
insurance to cover birth
control, including abortions, to its employees?
The “pro-choice” side
says a corporation must
not exclude birth control, including abortions,
in provided insurance.
A spokesperson for the
faction had this to say:
“The religious right zealots
who superimpose their
religious beliefs onto their
fellow employees are the
same ones who would refuse to serve a gay person
due to their sexual orientation.” That comes from Ian
Millhiser, of “Think Progress.” Surprise, surprise.
I say if you don’t like
Hobby Lobby’s insurance,
then don’t work for them.

State police announce crackdown on texting and driving crimes
LITTLE ROCK - Arkansas
law enforcement officers will
join in a collective effort this
month to crack down on violators who text while driving.
The statewide effort to
curb texting while driving
violations is part of a six day
national initiative that begins
April 10th.
The U Drive. U Text. U
Pay. campaign is a twofold
initiative that combines additional law enforcement
patrols devoted to watching
for drivers who are texting
along with a national advertising and media outreach
plan designed to inform the
public about the stepped-up
patrols and the driver’s responsibility to obey the law.
Arkansas law prohibits
texting while driving, regardless of the driver’s age. It is
also a “primary offense law”
which means a police officer or sheriff’s deputy can
initiate a traffic stop without
observing any other violation. Fines can range as high
as $100.
It is also illegal for drivers
to use hand-held cell phones
while traveling through
school or highway work
zones and it’s a violation for
any driver under the age of
18 to use a cell phone while
operating a motor vehicle.
Drivers 18 to 20 years using
a cell phone are required to
use a hands-free device. A
violator fine can be $50 or
doubled if the violation occurs in a highway work zone
when workers are present.
According to statistics
based on motor vehicle
crashes that occurred during 2012, there were 3,328
people killed and 421,000
injured nationwide as the
result of distracted driving.
The University of Michigan’s
Transportation Research
Institute reports that 25
percent of teenage drivers
respond to a text message
once or more every time
they drive, and 20 percent
of teens and 10 percent of
parents admit that they have
been part of extended multimessage text conversations
while driving.

Welcome to Facebook, Mayor Jones
Mayor Billy Ray Jones got
bad-mouthed on a disgruntled citizen’s Facebook last
week over the proposed city
annexation here in Nashville. Welcome to the club,
Mayor.
I have my opinion about
the deal but won’t waste
my wind expressing a moot
point. Besides, I live at
Corinth.
I don’t “do” Facebook,

vulgar, expletive-filled diatribe and can only feel sorry
for someone so unhappy
as the author. And, I hate to
see something as enjoyable
as Facebook used to trash
ANYONE.
I will say this: Thank God
there is enough media in
town that one way or another, the truth will be told.

From The
Barnyard
by Mike Graves
Yeah, I’m biased toward
this paper and believe we
deliver the hard facts, good
or bad and let y’all figure
it out. And, when we are
privileged enough to express our opinion, as I am
in this humble column, we
express ourselves in a civil
manner and avoid personal
attacks (and if the mean
Terry Youngs and old, worn
out James Reeds of the
world don’t like it they can
jump in the lake).
I wonder how in the world
anyone could legitimately
say they were not aware of
the proposed annexation,
when it has been publicized
in at least three different
newspapers and broadcast
on B99.5 radio.
Maybe they get their
news off Facebook, or some
learned blog. Blah, blah,
blah. Like the State Trooper
told me, “Ignorance of the
law is no excuse.”
Ignorance of the proposed annexation is inexcusable when the public was
told on many occasions and
via multiple means.
The bottom line here is
that democracy works. Our
concerned mayor made a
proposal which was rejected
by the people. You win some
and you lose some, and I believe history will be kind to
Mayor Billy Ray Jones.
Matter of fact, we’ll just
endorse him right here. Sorry, Billy Ray.
That’s all for now. May
God bless us all with timely
and abundant rain.

On the edge Of cOmmOn sense
A Cow Hanging
John lives down the road from me. We have cattle
across the fence from each other. He is good at a lot
of things; carpentry, electronics, sports and hunting,
but cows are not his strong suit. He runs a handful
on 90 acres.
He called me one day askin’ if we had seen a cow
of his. I told him we had cleared the pasture and
had not seen her in with our bunch. I left town for a
weekend and when I returned he had left a message
to call. I did. “I found her,” he said.
“Good.” Says I, and then he tells me the story.
His pasture was pretty well grazed-over so John
walked the fence line to see if he could see a break
(yes, he did walk it in his hiker boots, backpack,
baseball cap and scope). There was a hand-made
cattle guard on an abandoned Forest Service road.
The rundown gate (WPA 1968) had been pushed
over. John walked through on to Federal property.
After a thorough scanning of the hillside, he saw a
dark object next to a span of cross fence. He actually
used his Swarovski spotting scope. He traversed an
arroyo and some rough ground before he reached
the dark object. It was his cow, alright. She had tried
to jump or claw through the bob wire fence and got
stuck!
Now, anybody who messes with cows has a
story to tell about how tough cows are; how they’ve
fallen out of trucks, been pulled out of the mud with
horses and ropes, lifted with bucket loaders, hefted
from wells by helicopter, rescued from flooded roof
tops…I’ve seen them crash into a post and wobble
off, get hit by a car or fall over a ledge, then roll,
jump up and keep runnin’! Of course, delivering a
120 lb calf is no “piece of cake” either!
John’s cow had straddled the wire fence. She
was dehydrated, had some lesions from the barbs
that were swollen and infected. Her whole weight
seemed to be sagging on the wire. She’d been there
at least 3 days.
It took John an hour to walk back to the shed and
get a pair of fencing pliers and return.
“Wow!” I said, “How’s she doin’ today?”
“Up and at’um. I’ve given her Penicillin. She’s in
the corral, I’m feedin’ her. She’s actin’ like nothing
happened.”
“Them cows are sure tough,” I said.
John had a habit of naming his cows, usually after
something pertinent to their timing, personality
or appearance. For example, he had a calf named
Wednesday, a heifer named Rainy, a cow named
Dolly Parton and an outlaw steer named Tiffany
after his daffy sister-in-law.
“What did you name her?” I joked.
“Whataya think? Barbie!”

Scrapperettes waste Lake Hamilton 10-0
CHARLES GOODIN
Editor
NASHVILLE - Anna Kesterson
struck out six batters and allowed
just one hit Thursday as the Nashville Scrapperettes added another
shut out win to their record, besting
Lake Hamilton 10-0.
Offensively, Kathleen Lance led
the team with a 2-3 performance
at bat that yielded two runs and
two RBIs, while Shayla Wright and
Kaylea Carver both went 1-3 and
tallied a run and an RBI each. Avery
Kesterson also put in a 1-3 effort
that was good for a run, and Hannah
White and Brittany Hilliard rounded
out scoring for the Scrapperettes
with a run each despite the fact that
neither got a hit.
Action was sluggish in the opening portion of the game as both
teams battled through scoreless
first and second innings, but the
Scrapperettes came alive at the
bottom of the third, putting up
four runs.
Lance got things started when
she hit a fly ball to left field, scoring Hilliard and Wright. A few plays
later, Carver hit a sacrifice fly to
score White, then Gordon was
walked, scoring Lance.
Neither team was able to score
during the fourth stanza, but Nashville added two to their total at the
bottom of the fifth, beginning with
a run by Carver that came courtesy
of a sacrifice fly by Kynnedi Gordon.
Hinds singled to center field on the
next play, scoring Jamison.
The Scrapperettes held Lake
Hamilton scoreless again at the top
of the sixth, then added four runs
to their total to seal the win at the
bottom of the inning. Kesterson
scored first, stealing home, then
Lance scored on a passed ball and
Kesterson reached on an error,
scoring Horton. Wright ended the
game with a sacrifice fly that scored
Jamison.
Nashville’s girls will return to
action Monday as they prepare to
host Arkansas Baptist with game
time set for 4:30 p.m.
effort.
In addition to his performance there, Beavert
claimed third in the 200m
dash with a 23.46 effort
and joined Jamie Newton,
Lee Scroggins and Jones
in propelling the 4x100m
relay team to a similar finish in 44.67.
The Scrappers also had
multiple scoring finishes
that ended up outside the
top three. Terrell Grundy
claimed fourth in the triple jump with 40’8”, while
Treveenon Walker was
eighth in the shot put with
a toss of 43’7”. Ladarius
Daniel also finished eighth
in the pole vault with a 9’
performance, while Jones
and Beavert took six-seven
in the 100m dash with
times of 11.69 and 11.71,
respectively.
Coming in fifth and seventh in 400m dash were
Warren May (54.53) and
Gamble (55.24), while Matthew Carver and I. Perez
took seven-eight in the
3200m run with times of
12:18.52 and 12:20.79.
The Scrapper thinclads
will return to action tomorrow as they prepare
to host a meet at Scrapper
Stadium.
Gators ease past
Scrappers with
last-second run
CHARLES GOODIN
Editor
FOREMAN - It took every
bit of seven innings, but the
Foreman Gators eased past
the Nashville Scrappers 2-1
Thursday.
Foreman won the game
on a last-second double by
Jordan Hardwrick, which
scored Dairyon Jones to
give the Gators a one-point
advantage. The game had
been stalled at a 1-1 deadlock since the bottom of the
fourth inning, when Foreman
was able to tie an early one
point lead earned by the
Scrappers.
Nashville’s one point
came at the top of the first,
when Alex Curry hit a fly ball
past the short stop, scoring
Kyler Lawrence.
Despite the final score,
Nashville did out-hit the
Gators 8-6, with Nick Myers, Lawrence, Cameron
Alexander, Curry, Justin
Reed and Dylan Chambers all taking productive
swings while Lucas Liggin
had two.
Reed was credited with
the loss after pitching the
entire game. He struck out
four batters and gave up one
earned run.
The Scrappers will return
to action Monday as they
prepare to travel to Arkansas
Baptist. Game time is set for
5 p.m.

Average retail gasoline
prices in Arkansas have risen
4.1 cents per gallon in the
past week, averaging $3.37/g
yesterday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 1,826
gas outlets in Arkansas. This
compares with the national
average that has increased
1.3 cents per gallon in the
last week to $3.55/g, according to gasoline price website
GasBuddy.com.
Including the change in
gas prices in Arkansas during the past week, prices
yesterday were unchanged
compared to the same day
one year ago and are 13.0
cents per gallon higher than
a month ago. The national
average has increased 7.4
cents per gallon during the
last month and stands 3.1
cents per gallon lower than
this day one year ago.
“Gasoline prices have
seen an ever so slight increase in the last week across
a good portion of the nation,
which is certainly good news
for spring break travelers,”
said GasBuddy.com Senior
Petroleum Analyst Patrick
DeHaan. “For those who may
be headed to California, they
may be greeted with rising
prices to the tune of 10-20
cents per gallon over the
next two weeks. For much
of the rest of the country, including Florida destinations,
prices shouldn’t be holding
many back from hitting the
road. This spring has seen
very little volatility so far, and
if it remains that way, I may
have to revise downward my
forecast for gas prices for the
rest of April and May, which
my wallet would certainly
love,” DeHaan said.

Banker with local ties the subject of lawsuit, fraud investigation
KIM SOuZA
TheCityWire.com
Dennis Smiley, doing
business as HDS Holdings
LLC, was sued March 25 by
Delta Trust & Bank in Benton
County, over a personal loan
default. It was latest shoe to
drop in an unfolding saga
surrounding Smiley’s sudden resignation March 13
as president of Arvest Bank
Benton County.
He also faces a loan fraud
investigation first reported
by Arkansas Business on
April 2. This report claims
one of the loan payments
did not clear Smiley’s bank
account on March 10, which
raised a red flag that led to
his resignation.
Sources who asked for
anonymity have told The
City Wire that numerous Arkansas banks had lent Smiley
money over the past four
years and he each time he
pledged the same restricted
Arvest shares for collateral.
Smiley reportedly borrowed
an estimated $4.5 million
from more than a dozen Arkansas banks dating back to
2009, according to Uniform
Commercial Code filings with
Arkansas Security of State.

Dierks;
3/31: Arian Brent Stanley,

Morris, 26, both of Nashville;
4/2: David Matthew Mc-
On Feb. 20, Delta Trust &
Bank made its loan to HDS
Holdings — H. Dennis Smiley
Jr. of Benton County and his
father H. Dennis Smiley Sr. of
DeQueen — in the amount
of $245,126. Smiley pledged
4,264 shares of Arvest Bank
stock for collateral. The
lawsuit claims Smiley failed
to make the first installment
on March 20.
“The defendants have
confessed that they are either unable or unwilling to
pay the obligations to the
lender. The defendants have
caused the collateral to be
substantially impaired and
they are in nonmonetary
default฀ under฀ the฀ express฀
terms of the note and security agreement and guarantee,” the complaint states.
The bank has asked for a
judgment in the amount of
$245,126, accruing interest
until the debt is paid.
Co-defendant Henry Dennis Smiley Sr. is chairman of
First State Bank of De Queen,
also on the list of banks
involved in the federal fraud
probe. The Sr. Smiley told
Arkansas Business he was
brokenhearted and could
not talk about his son’s financial and legal problems.
In an information age, one
has to ask how this could
happen given that banks
are supposed to file certain
protocol when making a
secured a loan.
“When a banker makes
a loan that is collateralized
with securities, they are to
file a UCC Financing Statement with the Arkansas Secretary of State. But they are
also supposed to check to
make sure that collateral has
not already been pledged for
other loans. When possible,
banks like to hold the title or
proof of title in their vaults
until the loan is repaid,” said
Phil Knight, a Northwest
Arkansas-based banking
consultant and loan broker.
The Uniform Commercial
Code finance statements,
which are available online,
indicate loans dating back to
February 2011 where H. Dennis Smiley pledged shares of
Arvest Bank Group Stock,
which are bestowed to top
executives฀ as฀ bonus฀ pay.฀
These shares had value of
just under $400,000, according to the last loan made by
Delta Trust & Bank. At least
10 banks claimed all or part
of the same collateral for
loans made between 2011
and 2014.
“Using fraudulent collateral is nothing new. It
can happen when banks
don’t do their homework
and follow through with the
proper protocol for loans,”
said John Dominick, banking
consultant and professor of
finance at the University of
Arkansas. “This won’t be the
last time.”
Garland Binns, attorney
with Little Rock-based Dover
Dixon฀ &฀ Horne,฀ said฀ banks฀
make loans on good faith
and it may be difficult to determine wrongful intentions
in advance. He also points to
the UCC Finance Statements
as the proper protocol for
banks to register their interest as lien holders, a record
open to the public.
Knight said lenders typically would require a letter
of guaranty from the stock
issuer in a situation where
the stock is nonassignable,
such as restricted or closely
held stock like Arvest Bank
Group.
“Absent that guaranty,
or banks asking for it, is
done more than you might
think. Bankers like to make
to loans, and they are unsuspecting of their friends and
people they have known for
years,” he said.
Arvest has been mostly
silent on the high profile
resignation,฀ except฀ to฀ say฀
it was of a personal nature.
Dominick said it is not uncommon for bankers to borrow from other institutions,
they do so for independence.
“A bank has be careful not
to make too many loans to its
own officers,” he said.
During the Northwest
Arkansas real estate boom
it was not uncommon for
bankers to secure loans from
other institutions, especially
those dabbling in real estate
market themselves.
Knight said there is never
problem until the loan can’t
be repaid. He said regulators will also look past these
loans as long as they are in
good-standing. But, when
things go south, there is
nowhere to hide.
“Banks have zero tolerance for officers who default
on loans made with other
banks,” he added.
The Delta Bank & Trust
is the first civil lawsuit filed,
but given the scope of the
investigation Smiley could
face criminal fraud charges.
It is unclear how many
banks are involved and to
what฀ extent.฀ Based฀ on฀ the฀
UCC Financing Statements
four banks made loans to
Smiley since Nov. 27, each
pledging the same collateral.
•฀ First฀ Western฀ Bank,฀
Booneville
•฀First฀National฀Bank,฀Fort฀
Smith
•฀ First฀ State฀ Bank฀ NWA,฀
Huntsville
•฀ Delta฀ Bank฀ &฀ Trust,฀
Little Rock
Legacy National Bank in
Springdale also is encumbered by Smiley’s actions,
but Legacy President Don
Gibson, chose not to comment. Legacy did not file a
UCC Financing Statement so
it฀is฀unclear฀to฀what฀extent฀
that bank is involved.
Other banks known to be
involved include:
•฀First฀Security฀Bank
•฀Chambers฀Bank

All About Pasta
Pasta is a type of food made from lour and water, pressed
into speciic shapes and then usually dried. The word pasta means
“dough” in Italian. Pasta is sometimes also called noodles. The term
noodle comes from the German word for pasta, “nudel.” Most people consider pasta to be an Italian invention, but China has also had
noodles as part of their diet for centuries. Most scholars believe they
were irst created in Asia. In America, early settlers made noodles,
but they didn’t become a major staple until the 1800’s when many Italian immigrants moved to the United States. To make pasta, a simple dough is made from
lour and water, sometimes with the addition of other ingredients such as eggs,
salt, spinach (to make green pasta), or other vegetables for coloring and lavor.
It is then pushed through a press that creates a shape. After the noodles are
made, the pasta is dried and can be stored for several months. When it is time
to consume the pasta, it is boiled in water and it becomes soft again. The longer
it boils, the softer it becomes. Pasta that is eaten irm is called al dente. Noodles
can be made from many different types of lour. Italian pasta is usually made from
semolina, while many oriental noodles are made from rice.

Land Commissioner candidate visits area
D.E. RAy
Contributing Editor
NASHVILLE - Mark Robertson, candidate for Commissioner of State Lands,
stopped by the Nashville
News on Friday.
Robertson, 59, says that
the office, one of seven
constitutional offices in the
state, is not relevant to most
Arkansans and that he would
like to make the office both
more relevant and more
useful.
“Right now, it’s about
how quickly you can turn
around land seized for back
taxes and sell it - often for
less than its value. The job
should be more than just real
estate. Delinquent properties should be looked at for
their best use: what benefits
the communities where they
sit and the state as a whole
the most, not just reselling
quickly for small amounts of
money,” he said.
His opinion is that many
communities could be improved by proper land management, which would in
turn lead to economic opportunities. He also said that
land use issued were very
specific to each community
and to the land itself.
Robertson said that he
feels that he has the ex-
perience to make sound
decisions about land use,
citing a career that started
as a surveyor for the U.S.
Forrest Service, nearly 20
years in construction, followed by 25 years in land use
management and landscape
architecture. The last 13
years he has been head of a
Little Rock-based landscape
architecture firm, and since
buying his partner’s portion
in 2006, sole owner. He said
that in his time with the
firm, they had moved from
a regional concern to one
doing work on the national
and international level - but
still maintaining local roots.
He personally did design
work for the Crater of Diamonds water park, shore stabilization and campgrounds
at Daisy State Park and a
master plan for the historic
buildings at Old Washington, among more than 40
projects for the state parks
alone. He also mentions
work for cities and counties
in the area, such as the city
park in Mena.
Such work has gained him
acclaim in his field. In 2012
he was named a Fellow of the
American Society of Landscape Architects, a award
bestowed on only 1,054 landscape architects and land
use managers worldwide in
D.E. RAY | Nashville News

in Pike County. Robertson also visited Nashville on his swing through southwest Arkansas.
the last 115 years.
Having had a successful
business, Robertson says,
means that he can focus on
the good of others. “It’s not
about going in and punching
a clock. I’m at the point in my
life where I’m not looking for
a job because I need to have
a job. I want to do something
for the people in the state,”
he stated.
He emphasized that another portion of the job of
land commissioner was also
on his mind. He said, “The
Commissioner is also in
charge of managing all leases
on state lands, like mineral
rights. These leases have
got to benefit all Arkansans.
We have to make sure that
leases generate fair value
and that our resources are
protected for coming generations.”
Publisher Mike Graves,
who is also a cattle rancher,
discussed land use and land
management issues at length
with Robertson during his
visit to the News, and said,
“You’ve got my vote, and my
support. It will be good to
have somebody with experience in that office.”
