Attention Deficit.Congratulations to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, commonly abbreviated locally as the Dem-Gaz or Demgaz, is a daily newspaper published in Little Rock, Arkansas.By virtue of one of its predecessors, the Arkansas Gazette , which published the first interview with the elusive Melanie Steele, the newly wealthy native of North Little Rock who now owns the Avanti Cyber Cafe in the River Market District. Unfortunately, the story by reporter Adam Welsh, which ran Nov. 4, contained an error we would like to correct. Welsh wrote that "Steele first attracted attention in June" when she gave $10,000 checks to three waiters at Little Rock's Cafe D'Roma. But Steele attracted our attention long before June. On April 10, Arkansas Business ran a cover story on the mysterious multimillionairess and her cash purchase of four central Arkansas homes. We also reported the incorporation of two other Steele businesses, Avanti Cosmetics Perfumery per·fum·er·y n. pl. per·fum·er·ies 1. Perfumes. 2. An establishment that makes or sells perfume. 3. The art of making perfume. Noun 1. and Bainum Department Stores This is a list of department stores. In the case of department store groups the location of the flagship store is given. This list does not include large specialist stores, which sometimes resemble department stores. Inc. The story included comments from Steele pal Holly Vines, who confirmed that Steele sold her a $350,000 Canal Pointe pointe n. In ballet, dancing that is performed on the tips of the toes. [From French pointe (des pieds), point (of the feet), tiptoe; see point.] home for a dollar. In fact, Arkansas Business continued to follow the Steele saga in the paper's "Whispers" column, running four items before July 2, when the Democrat-Gazette's "Paper Trails" column mentioned the $10,000 tips at Cafe D'Roma. Our coverage centered on Steele's creation of another company -- Bainum Retail Development Systems Inc. -- and her abortive abortive /abor·tive/ (ah-bor´tiv) 1. incompletely developed. 2. abortifacient (1). 3. cutting short the course of a disease. a·bor·tive adj. 1. plan to purchase the Continental Building at 100 S.
