Jim, Craig and Bass: How an idea became a monument
The long-time volunteers behind the new Bass Reeves Monument and how they found the time and donations to create it is the story behind this month's dedication of the new bronze statue to be placed May 26 on Garrison Avenue in Fort Smith. Jim Spears, chairman Craig Pair, the lawman's lookalike, Baridi Nkokheli and a cast of determined citizens will celebrate with the whole town, they hope, that Bass Reeves will be riding "Into the Territories" once the Harold T. Holden sculpture is in place.

This recipe makes a large batch, and no one can resist them when they're piled high on a cake stand!
