| RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT: Rhodes floats land plan Homebuilder sets ...
KINGMAN, Ariz. -- It's apparently going to take more than a sluggish economy, a mortgage loan crisis and a housing market that's been put to sleep to keep Southern Nevada homebuilder Jim Rhodes off the radar in northwest Arizona. Some 300 people crowded into a Kingman middle school cafeteria on Thursday for the unveiling of the master-planned community Rhodes wants to develop on 5,000 acres in nearby Golden Valley, about 110 miles south of Las Vegas. Eight hundred people hold reservations for lots in Pravada, which could total as many as 25,000 homes at full build-out, roughly four times as many as Rhodes has built over the years in Las Vegas. Rhodes Homes Arizona Vice President Chris Stephens expressed confidence that about 2,000 homes will be built there within five years.
Editorial: Festival finally returns to its nonpartisan roots
The National Cherrry Festival's long walk on the dark side has come to an end. The iconic Traverse City celebration of cherries and tourism shed one of the last vestiges of its downward spiral during the 1990s when Executive Director Tom Menzel announced the festival had regained its status as a nonpartisan, nonpolitical, nonprofit organization. That news may have come as a surprise. Most people likely didn't know the festival had ever been anything but a nonpartisan, nonpolitical nonprofit annual party to honor a little red berry and an entire industry. But in 2002 the festival, under the guidance of then-director Tom Kern, had registered as a lobbying organization in Lansing. Under the 501(c)(4) designation the festival had long operated under, a host of activities -- including most financial transactions -- could be kept from the public.
