City set to finish rezoning properties Final phase of process will be implemented this month By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
The department is especially taking note of the fast-rising at-risk population. “Our challenge now is: how do we prepare to be able to serve that growing population? And the demographic is changing,” he said. “Our population across the country is aging, but even more so in Douglas and Arapahoe counties.”
This month, the City of Centennial will implement the third, and final, phase of its rezoning process — one that spans the entire city and includes more than 32,000 properties. The rezoning, known as the 2011 Land Development Code, was adopted in the spring of 2010, and city council directed it to be implemented in three phases at a November 2010 meeting. The new code became effective in September 2011. The original land-development code, known as the Legacy Code, developed under Arapahoe County, was outdated, said Derek Holcomb, the city’s principal planner. The new code, he said, is modernized and includes a set of “high-quality, predictable development regulations.” A land-development code is a “comprehensive set of land-use regulations and development standards that govern everything from building heights to signs and lighting,” Holcomb said. It includes a list of permitted and restricted land uses. The land-development code “can be thought of as a tool,” Holcomb said, to promote “context-sensitive development, protect stable residential neighborhoods and enhance the character of the city.” The 2011 Land Development Code “is one of the biggest things the city has done,” Holcomb said, “and hopefully, everybody sees the benefits of it.” The rezoning has been seven years in the making. “Researching and analyzing over 32,000 properties takes a lot of time and effort to complete,” Holcomb said. “Careful research and analysis has been performed at each phase of rezoning to ensure that the city gets it right the first time.” The rewrite of the code began in 2008,

New chief fans flames of success South Metro’s Bob Baker talks about importance of role By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com At a towering 6 feet 6 inches, the first thing people notice about Bob Baker is his height. The second characteristic they usually pick up on is his dedication and enthusiasm for fire service. Baker worked in eight positions during 30 years with the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority before taking over as the department’s chief last October. With predecessor Dan Qualman at the helm for 28 years, Baker knows he has big shoes to fill and high expectations to meet. Fortunately for him, Baker had the chance to study under Qualman and adopt many of his leadership qualities, chief among them patience and humility. Although he didn’t have much say in choosing his replacement, Qualman says he wasn’t surprised that Baker succeeded him at the highest rung in the South Metro Fire ladder.
“He’s analytical and intuitive, which I think is a real positive strength,” said the former chief, now a fire-protection consultant who considers himself semi-retired.
New horizons Baker’s experience in multiple capacities in the fire service has its advantages, but he has had to negotiate a learning curve since becoming chief. “The political side of the fire chief position is a lot more significant than the job I had before in operations,” he said, before listing the numerous cities, counties and law enforcement and fire agencies with which South Metro has a relationship. “You want to represent the organization with integrity and distinction, and you are a figurehead.” Baker and Qualman agree the biggest challenge will be keeping up with the pace of residential and commercial growth, in terms of inspections, response times and public education. South Metro Fire covers areas where major development is occurring or planned, including RidgeGate in Lone Tree, Parker, Sterling Ranch and Greenwood Village.
HOW BIG IS SOUTH METRO FIRE’S DISTRICT? The South Metro Fire Rescue Authority provides fire suppression, emergency medical service, building protection, life-safety training and other specialized rescue operations and services to an area that includes 194,000 residents and covers 176 square miles. The communities covered are Parker, Castle Pines, Lone Tree, most of Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Foxfield, Greenwood Village, and unincorporated portions of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, including Louviers.
Area high school students share ideas at Capitol Members of the Youth Advisory Council make some policy recommendations By Christy Steadman
csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
A group of high school students recently proved they care about what happens in their state when they gave a presentation to Colorado’s state legislators at the Capitol in Denver. The students, all members of the Colorado Youth Advisory Council, announced the group’s 2015 policy recommendations on Colorado’s water supply, public safety, mental health services and K-12 testing. The legislators enjoy hearing from Colorado’s young adults about what matters to them, said Maureen Wolsborn, program manager for Engaged Public, a Denverbased public policy firm that facilitates the advisory council. The legislators are generally “blown away” by the students’ ideas, creativity and
level of professionalism, Wolsborn added. “It’s a really unique experience that most adults don’t get,” Wolsborn said, “let alone high-schoolers.” COYAC is an advisory council to the Legislature made up of 40 students between the ages of 14 and 19 who represent each of Colorado’s Senate districts, Wolsborn said. “The students get a taste of what lawmaking and being a legislator is like,” she said. “There’s a lot of emphasis on making sure the students are running the council.” The students are required to meet four times throughout the year, Wolsborn said, and the fourth time is the trip to the Capitol to present the policy recommendations they had been working on. In addition to the four meetings, the students talk with each other via Skype, email or phone, she added. In total, they spend about two hours a week, plus some weekend hours contributing to COYAC. “We keep in mind they are still in high school,” Wolsborn said, but “the students are dedicated and come up with some Capitol continues on Page 22

Which Wich helps feed the hungry Project PB&J efforts benefit local charities By Christy Steadman
csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
April 2 is National PB&J Day, but the Which Wich sandwich shops know the value of a good peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich year-round — especially when it’s going to a person who may not have another meal that day. Project PB&J is an initiative to help feed the hungry, said Jay Goldstein, chief operating officer for the franchise’s Front Range locations. “It’s heartbreaking what some people have to go through,” Goldstein said. “This gives us a chance to help the less fortunate.” At every Which Wich location nationwide, customers have the option to purchase a $3 peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich to give to charity. Then, for each sandwich purchased, Which Wich donates two. Some local charities that benefit from Project PB&J are food banks such as TriLakes Cares, homeless shelters, Boys & Girls Clubs and Shiloh House. Deliveries to any one of the charities are done on just about a daily basis, Monday through Friday, Goldstein said. “It’s just natural to give back to the community,” Goldstein said. “To see the reaction of the kids and families reminds me how fortunate we are.” Project PB&J began in the Front Range in March 2014. Which Wich’s Cornerstar location in Aurora, near Parker and Arapahoe roads, was the first to make a donation of 100 sandwiches. A local church was preparing a clothing and food donation and reached out, said manager Tyanna Bourret. “They started applauding when I arrived,” she said, added that the church reached out to hundreds of restaurants within 15 miles of its location, and Which Wich was the only one that agreed to join the effort.
Highlands Ranch Which Wich employees, from left, Shane Redmond, manager Tyanna Bourret and Emily Overturf make peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches for Project PB&J. For every peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich a customer orders for the initiative, Which Wich donates two to a charity organization. In an effort between all 11 of the Front Range Which Wich locations, the restaurants donated the 25,000th peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich on March 20. Photo by Christy Steadman About a year later, Which Wich reached its 25,000th donated peanut butter-andjelly sandwich on March 20. “It took a while for people to make it part of the culture,” Goldstein said, but “we’re really hitting our stride now.” In one week, on average, the Front Range stores’ combined efforts donate 1,100 sandwiches, with the Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree locations being the tops for sales of peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches to benefit Project PB&J. In fact, Goldstein said, Denver leads the initiative out of about 400 Which Wich locations nationwide.

That is something to be proud of, said Goldsteind, who, along with his business partner, Jeff Gordan, co-owns the 11 Front Range locations that participate in Project PB&J. Goldstein and Gordan’s Which Wiches has a reach as far north as Fort Collins, and as far south as Colorado Springs. Project PB&J impacts a lot of less fortunate people in a positive way, Bourret said. “We’re bringing them more than just sandwiches,” she said. “We’re making their day. We’re giving them their only meal for the day, sometimes.” On April 2, all 11 Front Range Which Wich locations will donate an extra 100
peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches — in addition to what customers purchase that day. Goldstein recalled when the initiative first came to the Highlands Ranch location at Town Center, one customer approached an employee in the parking lot, and asked if the store participated in Project PB&J. When the employee said yes, the customer held out his hand, Goldstein said, and in it was a $100 bill. “Our customers have big hearts, and they’re very generous,” Goldstein said. Project PB&J “wouldn’t be possible without them.”

Hooters coming to south metro area Former TGI Friday’s in Lone Tree will be site of the new restaurant By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lone Tree soon will be home to Hooters. The chain restaurant known for its curvy, lightly attired waitresses and chicken wings will open in the former TGI Fridays. TGI Fridays closed its Yosemite Street and County Line Road restaurant in 2014. An opening date isn’t yet set, but the project architect said it may be in June. Franchise owner Restaurants of America did not return calls requesting information about the Lone Tree site. Restaurants of America operates seven other Colorado Hooters. Hooters, based in Atlanta, includes more than 430 locations in 28 countries. The first Hooters opened 1983 in Clearwater, Fla. “The casual beach-themed establishments feature music, sports on large flat screens, and a menu that includes seafood, sandwiches, burgers, salads, and of course,
WHAT THE HAIL! - The Preferred Local Roofing Company for Many Insurance Companies, Hundreds of Agents, and Thousands of Coloradans - No Creepy Door Knockers - Free Inspections
Hooters original chicken wings,” according to the company website. “Others have arrived, departed, and even flat out copied our formula, but we remain the genuine original.” Lone Tree city planner Hans Friedel said the building won’t change dramatically, though Hooters will add a timber trellis over the patio and garage doors that open to the patio. “Hooters is trying to penetrate some more upscale markets and have more of an upscale concept,” Friedel said, with less emphasis on its “delightfully tacky yet unrefined” image. Hooters recently adopted a new interior and exterior design that aims to be both contemporary and comfortable and appeal to a broader range of customers, ideally drawing more women and families. It also revamped its menu to include more salads and healthy choices. The Hooters’ sign will undergo a separate city approval process. Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning said he’s delighted to see a new restaurant in the building, which has been vacant for about a year.

Front Range Bank official faces embezzling charges Centennial woman in federal custody Staff report A Centennial woman and former bank official is facing federal charges after being indicted on 37 charges of felony embezzlement last week
Candice L. White, 42, was scheduled to appear before a U.S. magistrate judge March 25. White was a senior vice president of Front Range Bank, which has locations in Englewood, Lakewood and Littleton. From July 2009 through March 2011, she allegedly embezzled more than $92,000 from the bank for her own personal use and for the use of others. In addition, White is charged
with misapplying funds from other client accounts to an escrow account, from which she is alleged to have embezzled the majority of the money in order to conceal and facilitate her ongoing criminal activity. Because Front Range Bank received money from the federal Troubled Asset Relief Fund, the Special Inspector General assisted the FBI in the investigation. White remains in custody until her next
court hearing at 10 a.m. on March 30, when she will enter a plea and the court will determine if she is eligible for bond. If convicted, White faces up to 30 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine per count. She also faces two misdemeanors, which could add another year in federal prison and up to a $100,000 fine. The defendant is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Pegeen Rhyne.

Tax-filing fraud hits home Paper checks sent to protect personal information, thwart thieves By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Two tax-filing fraud cases in Franktown reflect an emerging trend that has government revenue departments and law enforcement agencies urging extra caution. On March 13, a man living on Ponderosa Road called the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office because he received a state refund check in the mail that was made out to him and a woman he’s never heard of. The man told deputies that he hadn’t even filed his taxes yet. After contacting the IRS, he was told that someone filed state and federal tax returns using his personal information, but there were no suspects, according to an incident report. One day later, a couple living on Pine Valley Drive in Franktown said they received a federal refund in the mail for $11,400. They also hadn’t filed. The check was in their names, but had a different routing number. The woman called the
IRS. “The IRS instructed her to file a police report and told her that they now could not file their taxes electronically,” a sheriff’s office report says. “The IRS also told her that she would have to send in copies of their driver’s licenses, fill out form 14039, and complete a letter of explanation about the situation.” The issue has caused headaches for taxpayers and weeks of delays as the Colorado Department of Revenue scrambles to head off the fraudulent activity with “assessments.” The department issued a statement in mid-February saying it is “taking additional precautions to combat emerging tax filing fraud, which is occurring nationwide” and said it appreciates the “patience and understanding” of those waiting on their returns. The Colorado Department of Revenue decided to convert refunds to paper checks for some tax filers who requested direct deposit of their return into a bank account or onto a prepaid debit card. “Sending a paper check to the taxpayer’s mailing address is intended to prevent criminals from easily diverting fraudulent refunds to their own prepaid, reloadable cards or debit cards,” the department said.
AVOID BECOMING A VICTIM The following are some tips to avoid becoming a victim of identity theft/tax fraud:

Click on “Where’s My Refund?” Going back to paper checks also prevents future crimes from occurring. It’s intended to “maintain the security and confidentiality of taxpayer information,” says a letter that accompanies state tax refund checks. However, the letter seems to acknowledge that even though it was sent along with a paper check, fraud could still be occurring. “If you have not yet filed your 2014 Colorado individual income tax return, DO NOT cash this check,” the letter warns.

OPINION
April 3, 2015
&
O U R S
Humor month sounds like 30-day sentence I’m not kidding: April is National Humor Month. I’m ready. I have a brand new set of “A something walks into a bar jokes.” I plan to watch as many “Seinfeld” reruns as possible. I hear that Adam Sandler, quite simply America’s funniest man, has a new movie coming out in April. I wonder if that was planned to coincide with National Humor Month. By now you know that I haven’t said anything here that was true, except that April is National Humor Month. Every month has its share of these observations that most of us don’t observe, and probably don’t even know exist. I observe humor each and every month, or at least I try to. I didn’t know why April was singled out. Maybe because of April Fools’ Day? Or maybe because April 15 is you-knowwhat, and someone thought we could use a little additional humor in our lives. But my taxes have been done for two months, so that doesn’t really make any difference to me. I have the answer. And I was (mostly) right. It was founded in 1976 by a comedian I have never heard of: Larry Wilde. He said, “Since April is often bleak and grim and taxes are due on the 15th, it can be one of the most stressful times of the year. Besides it’s the only month that begins with All Fools’ Day, a day which has
sanctioned frivolity and pranks since the 1500s.” T.S. Eliot said that “April is the cruellest month,” but he and Wilde weren’t living in Colorado. Maybe Pennsylvania. Colorado will be just as glamorous as it always is, year around. Did you notice any increase in humor in your life in past Aprils? I haven’t. I think that every month that has a new ISIS video in it is a little crueler. Or an airplane crash, a natural disaster, or the release of a new Adam Sandler movie. I know I can find humor whenever I need to. Dickens, Letterman, politicians announcing for the presidency when the election is a year and a half away. The zeal of the women who are on home shopping channels amuses me. I have a collection of Gary Larson cartoons. “Bringing Up Baby,” starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant works too. But I can’t remember the last time that
I consciously sought out humor. If I am in the dumps, a joke-of-the-day isn’t going to get me out. As I have said, what is or isn’t funny is as subjective as art and music and literature. And the food at IHOP. But this has me a little concerned now. I write far more columns than my editor can use each month, and it’s up to him which ones he selects. He will run five columns in April. What if he were to select five downers? And if you do know that April is National Humor Month I might be in hot water with you. I’ll take my chances. April always signals the start of Major League Baseball, and that can’t be bleak and grim. Usually it’s not until July when the wheels begin coming off of your favorite team. Easter. Buddha’s birthday. And for some: 4/20. My father died in April. I can’t talk with my sister on April 23, because I know we would never make it through the call. Harry had a great sense of humor, and I always try to remember that. So maybe that’s how I will observe National Humor Month from now on. And just to be thankful that perhaps some of my father’s sense of humor made it down to me. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

For the best output, try some good input What are you listening to these days? Better yet, who are you listening to? Have you ever noticed that when we fill our minds with positive thoughts, productive ideas and upbeat music, we tend to feel better and perform better in all areas of our lives? And conversely, when we tend to get caught up in gossip, negative talk and the bad attitudes of others, we don’t feel very good and our performance suffers as well. The good news is that we are the ones in control of what we listen to and who we listen to. We can make the decision to surround ourselves with positive influences and optimistic people or we can choose to invite pessimistic people and negative influences into our lives. I know that sometimes we cannot avoid sadness or difficult situations. We all experience seasons of life that will bring us down from time to time. But I can assure you that the more we are grounded in our positivity, the better we will be at dealing with those challenging or difficult times. Now some people, believe it or not, thrive on negativity or the problems of others. They feed off of the negative energy and want everyone else around them to be miserable too. And that is why it is important to monitor our input because it directly impacts our output. When we put the good stuff in we get the good stuff out. For me, I love starting my day reading positive material, so I always begin with a devotional reading and spend time in the
Bible. Again, for me there is no better way to begin each day. It is also the last thing I read before going to sleep. I enjoy listening to positive audio programs where I can learn something new or reinforce a message I had heard before. And I also love reaching out to friends and associates who I know are extremely positive. Their stories of success coupled with their optimistic outlook on life are contagious and they fire me up. So what are you listening to? And who are you listening to? Where are the inputs in your life coming from? There is one source that you may not have considered before. The best and most reliable source of positive influence and optimistic input you can ever receive will come from yourself. That’s right, you can control the input simply by the positive messaging you give yourself throughout the day. Now remember, when we feel good about ourselves, when we feel better, our performance in all areas of our lives improves.
Now some will laugh or disregard the power and importance of positive self-talk. But think of it this way, who believes in you more than you do? I mean when you stop and think about it, you are brilliant and beautiful, you are gifted and gorgeous. You are a winner, you have a mission of success, and there is nobody that can tear you down. You are a champion who has survived the challenging seasons of life and have come through each one smarter, stronger and tougher than you were before. Take the time to write down the 10 most positive and productive affirmations that you can think of that describe you as a person. Make copies and hang them on your bathroom mirror, on your refrigerator, on your desk, in your car and anywhere that you can see them on a daily basis. Say them aloud, read them and reread them often. Your input directly impacts your output, and when people see these wonderful attributes pouring out of you, you will become a beacon and magnet for others who want a little piece of positivity in their own lives. How about you, are you filling your ears, your mind and your heart with the good stuff? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we manage our input to maximize our output, it really will be a better than good week.

Time to stand up and defend Medicare Part D Despite some heated political rhetoric from around the country, Colorado seniors know that the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit is affordable and is working, even for older men and women in the lowest income bracket. At the Colorado Gerontological Society, we see firsthand how seniors struggle every day to make ends meet on a fixed income, and how Medicare Part D has provided a life line that seniors’ health literally depends on. We are calling on Coloradans to stand up for this vital program that has achieved so much for our older citizens. The record of success that we have seen with Medicare Part D is frankly rare for a government program, and something that we all should be proud of. Part D repeatedly comes in under budget. For three years in a row, the Congressional Budget Office has reduced its 10-year budget
forecast for Part D. Total Part D costs are 45 percent less than the initial CBO 10 year projections. This program is saving seniors money and saving our government money. Not only does the program work, but seniors like it. Today, more than 450,000 Colorado seniors are enrolled in the program, which allows them to choose from 34 different private plans, some of which
cost as little as $12.60 a month and have no annual deductibles. That is a recipe not only for success but for high levels of satisfaction. According to the 2013 Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, 94 percent of seniors who use Medicare Part D are happy with their plan. Part D has surpassed expectations in both improving seniors’ access to affordable medicines and containing healthcare costs for all taxpayers. Part of this is due to its competitive structure. That’s good news because Colorado has one of the fastest aging populations in the country. Like millennials, baby boomers are flocking to Colorado. According to the Colorado Commission on Aging, between 2011 and 2021, Colorado will experience a 54 percent increase in residents over the age of 60. Colorado’s Medicare spending is Doherty continues on Page 18

Minimum wage proposals pass committee
A
Legislation gives authority to local government
House committee passed two minimum wage bills last week. House Bill 1300, proposed to reinstate local government’s authority to increase minimum wages. House Concurrent Resolution 1001 proposed to increase the minimum wage, by voter approval. The increase would be a little more than a $1.00 every year starting in 2017 and end at $12.50 by 2020.
What you need to know:
Prior to 1999, local governments in Colorado had the authority to set minimum wage laws in their jurisdictions. In 2006, voters approved Amendment 42 to raise the minimum wage to $6.85. The state minimum wage is now $8.23, driven upward by inflation. Advocates cite numerous studies on both sides of the argument over the impact of higher minimum wages. These arguments center on various economic theories. Some groups argue that increasing the minimum wage will hurt jobs and kill small businesses, while supporters argue that better wages will help build the economy and help citizens out of poverty. Studies surrounding local control and higher wages often use San Francisco, New Jersey, the California city of San Jose and New Mexico as points of interest.
Comments from fast food workers
House Bill 1300
Vote: 6-5 Heard by House State, Veterans, and Military Affairs Sponsored by Rep. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, and Rep. Jovan Melton, D-Aurora “In Colorado, cost of living differs wildly between our state,” Moreno said. “There are places that are much more expensive to live than others … I think it’s a universal value that people who work in an area should be able to afford to live there as well.”
HOW THEY VOTED Rep. Patrick Neville, R-Castle Rock - No Rep. Jack Tate, R-Centennial - No Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood - Yes Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton - Yes
“It’s honestly hard to really live out on your own with just $8.23 an hour,” said Andrew Olson, a Sonic employee. Olson testified that after working 38 hours for two weeks his check came to $68, after taxes and other deductions.

Vote 6-5 Sponsored by Rep. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City and Rep. Jovan Melton, D-Aurora
Views from local representatives Views from opposition
“Unquestionably, all minimum wage laws interfere with right of contract between an individual and an employer — it takes the choice away,” said Patrick Boyle, lobbyist for the Colorado Competitive Council, an affiliate of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.
Views from opposition
“The most local area these decision can be made is between the employer and the employee,” said Rep. Patrick Neville, RFranktown. “I think it’s fair that people who work hard get paid for what they do,” said Rep. Max Tyler, DLakewood.
“We know the impact that an increase on this would have on both employees and businesses in Colorado -- it will cost jobs and close businesses,” said Sonia Riggs, president and CEO of the Colorado Restaurant Association and on behalf of the National Federation of Independent Businesses and the Colorado Hotel and Lodging Association.
Views from supporters
“I think this bill is about two issues, one is justice and one is democracy,” said Dianne Thiel of Denver. “The state can set the floor of a minimum wage but it needs to be up to the local communities to do right by the people living in their community.”

Views from supporters
“Although raising the minimum wage would benefit both men and women, it would disproportionately impact women,” said Michelle Webster, manager of policy and budget analysis at the Colorado Center on Law & Policy. Webster reported that women account for 47 percent of the labor force in Colorado, yet nearly 52 percent of the female workforce would see a rise in income by increasing the minimum wage. “We need an economy that works for everyone in Colorado, and very simply, raising the minimum wage makes good on the promise of work as a pathway out of poverty and spurs economic growth.”

Big Dry Creek gets new trailhead Compromise seems to ease neighbors’ concerns By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com After a year of wrangling with the neighbors, Big Dry Creek Trail users will likely have a new place to rest in the fall. “I think this is a good compromise,” said Sue Rosser, a director on the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District Board, on March 25. “This plan we have now costs significantly less than the first plan, even though it’s slightly more expensive than the last plan. I think we’ve done everything we can for the neighborhood, while providing a good amenity for the trail users.” At issue is a trailhead SSPR has been trying to build behind Littleton High School, at Powers Avenue and Washington Street in Littleton. The neighbors came out early against it, worried about traffic, bicyclists, trash and loitering teens, among other things. “For South Suburban, I think open space means open for development,” said Debbie Kuehn, who lives adjacent to the trail and was one of a half-dozen neighbors to address the board. “You develop a lot of stuff. I think if you’re going to develop it, you ought to maintain it.” Board members tried to reassure the speakers that building the trailhead would mean more attention would be paid to the
area. “We’re putting an investment in there, and we intend to take care of it,” said John Ostermiller, board chair. Rosser urged those with concerns to take them to either Greenwood Village, which is the city responsible for the connecting street and where most of them live, or to Urban Drainage and Flood Control, which is responsible for the actual creek. SSPR maintains the trail and will be responsible for the new trailhead. It will feature a shelter with nighttime lighting, a picnic table, several shade trees, a couple of evergreens to screen the area from the neighborhood, and four parking spaces. In an attempt to assuage the upset neighbors, the new plan moves the shelter 100 feet to the west of where the last proposal had it located, farther away from Greg Comstock’s horse paddock. “I’m very pleased,” said Comstock. “The picnic table is actually located closer to the creek and the shade trees. It’s just more pleasant than sitting in a windblown field. … I plan to be vigilant about overseeing what’s going on down there. I think it’s our responsibility as neighbors.” The last plan was expected to fit within the $104,000 budget that’s dedicated to the trailhead. The new one might run up to $150,000, but the board thought it was worth it and unanimously approved the plan. It still requires final approval from the City of Littleton and Arapahoe County, but if all goes well, construction could start this summer.

Southern Concepts Announces Growth Plan and Calendar of Events Gains Valued Board Members For a complete list of South Metro Denver
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bourbon Brothers Holding Corporation (OTCQB:RIBS) announced that in an effort to fuel the Company’s growth plan and further focus the brand, the Company has changed its name to Southern Concepts Restaurant Group, Inc. (“SCRG” or the “Company”). During 2014, the Company increased sales by 145 percent and ended 2014 with revenues of approximately $5,144,500 versus $2,099,000 in 2013. The Company reported total assets of $4,473,600 with $1,182,100 of the current assets being cash or cash equivalents. Moreover, the Company ended 2014 with net assets of approximately $2,140,700. “I couldn’t be more excited about the growth opportunities for Southern Concepts,” said Mitchell Roth, SCRG President. “We are anticipating a number of restaurant openings this year and the launch of a new fast casual concept.” Southern Concepts Restaurant Group will be opening its second Southern Hospitality Restaurant and Bar in Lone Tree, Colo. in April, and its growth will not stop there. Before the end of 2015, Roth expects the Company to open at least two more Southern Hospitality fast casual locations in the Denver
and Colorado Springs market, and as many as two units per quarter in 2016. “Fast casual has been the fastest growing segment in the restaurant industry for five consecutive years, and outpaced traditional QSR and casual dining five to one during 2013,” said Roth. “This concept is in line with the tremendous resurgence of barbeque, leaving us with an opportunity to gain immediate market share.” Southern Concepts Restaurant Group is expecting very strong average unit volumes in its fast casual concept. “Management is projecting average unit volume sales of $1.8 million in its fast casual stores with more than 20 percent in store-level net income,” said Roth. In addition to the Company’s name change and projected growth, the SCRG Board of Directors gained two new members, Mr. Mitchell Roth and Ms. Jane Norton. Mr. Roth joined the Company in 2013 and has been the driving force in developing the fast casual iteration of Southern Hospitality, including crafting the Master Licensing Agreement through which the Company will operate its fast casual units. Mr. Roth is primarily responsible for corporate development, including capital raising, contract negotiation, real estate development, and strategy.
Prior to joining SCRG, Mr. Roth worked at the investment-banking firm Laidlaw and Company, Ltd. in New York City. Mr. Roth received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Finance and Economics from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. Ms. Norton is the founder and General Manager of Norton & Associates LLC consulting firm, established in 2012, to advise clients in areas such as government/public policy, non-profits, education, aerospace, emergency preparedness, healthcare, and the military. She served in the administrations of Presidents Reagan and Bush as Regional Director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from 1988-1993; and in the cabinet of Governor Owens as Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment from 1999-2002. In 2002 she was elected Colorado’s 46th Lieutenant Governor and served until January of 2007. Ms. Norton currently serves on the Valor Christian High School Board of Education since February 2013 through the present, Colorado Uplift Executive Committee since May 2013 through the present, John Templeton Foundation International Board of Advisors since July 2014 through the present, Citizen Advisor to the Colorado Emergency Preparedness Partnership since 2013 through the present, and is a Fellow with the Centennial Institute since 2011 through the present. Ms. Norton earned a Bachelor of Science degree with Distinction in Health Sciences from Colorado State University in 1976, a Master of Science degree in Management from Regis University in 1999, and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humanities degree from Colorado Christian University in 2011.

Joan Miro show at Denver Art Museum will run through June 28 By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com For the last 20 years of his life, Spanish painter Joan Miro (1893-1983) found a home on the island of Mallorca, where he could unpack and relate to his earlier paintings that had been packed away during World War II and after. He lived through difficult times — the Spanish Civil War, World War II throughout Europe and Franco’s 40-year dictatorship in Spain, which the artist opposed. In Palma, Mallorca, he was able to paint again and to create a number of highly original cast bronze sculptures, which often incorporated items he had collected on the beach. “I painted in a frenzy, so that people will know that I am alive,” he said. It is this energetic, late-in-life work — about 50 pieces created between 1963 and 1981 — which make up the bright, witty “Joan Miro: Instinct and Imagination.” The new exhibit runs through June 28 in the Gallagher Family Gallery on level one of the Denver Art Museum’s Hamilton Building. Gwen Chanzit, curator of modern and contemporary art at the DAM, spoke at a press preview about the artist’s inclination to carry home found objects and incorporate them into his sculptures: mixing spoons, fondue forks, metal forms, old doll parts and more went into assemblages that were cast in bronze by the lost wax method. “Keep looking,” Chazit advised — there are extra stars and other objects to be found on the backs of the sculptures. The Miro exhibit is organized by the Seattle Art Museum and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. It has been shown at the Seattle Art Museum and the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University. While his painting style is well known worldwide, Miro’s sculptures have rarely traveled outside of Europe. He was born in Barcelona and started art classes at an early age. In 1920, he went to Paris, where artists from across the world were working and exchanging ideas. He started painting in Surrealist style and created a number of prints.

“Miro: Instinct and Imagination” will be exhibited at the Denver Art Museum until June 28. It is included with regular admission. See denverartmuseum.org. An exhibition catalog, published by Yale University Press, is available in the museum gift shop. American Abstract Expressionists who were working in New York after World War II — and on artists worldwide. Visitors can look for favorite images in paintings and sculptures: women, birds, stars, for example — and children will be delighted by the whimsy and bright colors. Allow time to watch the short, three-minute video at the back of the gallery, “Miro: Theatre of Dreams,” to see him manipulate thick strokes of paint with a brush and with his fingers — straight from the tube. A related seminar on May 7 is called “Creative Aging.” There will also be related creative activities in the studio across the hall from the Gallagher Family Gallery. Check denverartmuseum.org for information.
Casa Bonita, the 41-year-old Lakewood institution known more for its “eatertainment” than its food, has been awarded landmark status by the Lakewood Historical Society. But neither Casa Bonita’s food nor its pop culture icon status earned its place as a Lakewood Historical Society Landmark. Rather it was its history, architecture and community value that made it an outstanding candidate, Lakewood Historical Society member Ann Moore told The Denver Post. Manager Mike Mason started working at Casa Bonita at age 16 — nearly 40 years ago. He told the Post, “We’re not going to change the original formula. That’s what we attribute our success to.” With the original formula intact, generations to come will be able to see the cliff divers and suck on sopapillas at the restaurant inside the strip mall at Colfax Avenue and Pierce Street. Casa Bonita owners and the new owners of the strip mall recently secured a long-term lease.

Winning season two of the CNBC competition “Restaurant Startup” recently gave creative culinarian Ian Kleinman the extra incentive he needed to open his first restaurant. Now, he’s this close to signing the lease on a space at 2020 Lawrence (next to Lower 48). And when the ink is dry on the document, Kleinman plans to debut The Inventing Room ice cream shop on June 1. The show, much like the popular series “Shark Tank,” puts restaurateur and TV personality Joe Bastianich and chef and restaurant operator Tim Love against each other to invest their own money in food concepts they believe will make them millions. In the series finale March 17, Love committed to help finance The Inventing Room concept. “We did some negotiations with Tim Love who wanted to invest with us, but it didn’t work out,” Kleinman said. “We’re still going to open a store, but we’re going to do it on our own.” Rather than gleaning financial backing from the show, Kleinman was able to work out the prototype of his restaurant — from design to color scheme to the logo — for free. “For me, I just wanted the opportunity to build this brick and mortar restaurant I have had in my head for seven years,” he said. The ice cream shop will feature composed confections such as a compressed mango and strawberry kabob with salted caramel and chocolate, a carrot cake cookie ice cream sandwich with toasted marshmallow and cream cheese ice cream dipped in liquid nitrogen and a robot that will make chocolate truffles.

Writer explores sadness at core of family history Nordhaus book has roots in haunted house By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com As she grew up hearing family stories, Colorado writer Hannah Nordhaus became aware of a dramatic history surrounding her great-great-grandmother, Julia Staab. Many readers will be familiar with the classy La Posada hotel (“place of rest”) in Santa Fe, located not far from the Cathedral and the Plaza. Nordhaus has just published “American Ghost: The True Story of a Family’s Haunted Past.” She will appear at the Tattered Cover at 2526 E. Colfax Ave. at 7 p.m. on April 8 to read from her book and discuss her adventures in writing it — and to sign copies. The La Posada was originally the Staab House, built by prominent German Jewish Santa Fe businessman Abraham Staab for his young bride, Julia. In the 1970s, a janitor in the by-then-hotel was mopping up late at night when he saw a dark-eyed woman, with white hair and a long black dress, standing by the fireplace, silently. Other incidents followed — some of the sort attributed to a poltergeist: gas fireplaces turned off and on, vases of flowers were moved, bar glasses flew off the shelf and Julia Staab’s second-floor bedroom was especially prone to happenings. Employees were convinced that a ghost resided there — an unhappy, restless ghost — Julia Schuster Staab. Hannah Nordhaus, skeptical of ghost stories at the start, writes in an interview that her interest in her great-greatgrandmother intensified after she found a history written by her great-aunt Lizzie on dusty shelves in the house her greatgrandfather had built in the mountains east of Santa Fe. “Lizzie told tales of sadness and madness and forbidden love, of drug addictions and suicide, inheritance and disinheritance, penury, family feuds, brother against brother … There was more to Julia’s story than just a ghost in an old hotel …” Hours and days and weeks and years of research and travel ensued as Nordhaus followed different aspects of Julia’s half-a-century life (she died in 1896) — from young German bride who arrived on the frontier and bore eight children to sad, mentally ill older woman, subject to the imprecise medical care of her day. Research in old newspapers and journals allows Nordhaus to paint a colorful picture of 19th-century Santa Fe, with its bright sun, entrepreneurial citizens such as Julia’s husband (who was not judged there for being a Jew), few or no supportive companions for Julia — with the possible exception of the garden-loving archbishop (Willa Cather’s model for “Death Comes for the Archbishop”). How close was that relationship, Nordhaus asks. Julia came, as a young bride in an arranged marriage, from a German town called Lugde in Germany, where she frequently returned with her children for visits to her large family — and to take the waters of the spa nearby. Nordhaus and her German-speaking mother visited there and elsewhere in Germany in tracing Julia’s story.
The reader learns about the status of Jews in Europe and America, as well as the status — or lack of it — of even wellto-do women. The flavor of early Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Trail contrasts with polished European locations Julia sought. From accounts written by her daughter, Bertha, one senses the desperate loneliness and depression Julia felt despite receiving what was viewed as the best available medical treatment — for “female problems” and depression — in Germany, where the top doctors were found. Following Nordhaus’ prolonged search for a ghost and a better understanding of her family history might lead a

Lifelong local restaurateurs, chefs and master bread bakers Udi, Robin and Etai Bar-on, the founders of Udi’s Foods (now Boulder Brands), have just opened The Good Son in the former Silvi’s Kitchen space at the Lowenstein Complex, 2550 E. Colfax Ave. The Bar-on family, owners of a catering company and 11 restaurants, artisan bakeries and cafes, including Silvi’s Kitchen, Etai’s and Braun, closed the East Colfax location of Silvi’s last November to make way for a completely new concept: a tavern emphasizing Detroit-style pizza and a thoughtfully curated craft beer, keg wine and cocktail program. “We wanted to create a neighborhood gathering place that focused on authentic Detroit-style pizza, excellent craft beers, unique wines and a mix of classic and inventive cocktails,” said Etai, adding that Mark Stewart, the former general manager of North and Big Game, will manage the day-to-day operations. Hours are from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday; The Good Son is closed on Monday. Weekend brunch is slated to launch in May.

Why My Father Stole Secrets from J. Edgar Hoover
Sarah Davidon will speak at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 7, at Bemis Public Library, 6014 S. Datura St., Littleton, about how and why her father planned and carried out his secret mission to steal documents from the FBI in order to expose government surveillance. In 1971, there were rumors that the FBI was spying on college campuses, anti-war groups and Civil Rights leaders, but no one could provide the proof. William Davidon, a physicist, wanted to try a more aggressive but non-violent means to provide hard evidence that would expose injustices and protect civil liberties. Davidon was the leader of a group called the Citizens’ Commission to Investigate the FBI; this group broke into an FBI office in Pennsylvania and discovered documents that led to the exposure of government surveillance and illegal activities conducted by J. Edgar Hoover. Due in part to his exceptionally careful planning and his co-conspirators’ total commitment to secrecy, neither Davidon nor anyone else was ever charged with a crime, despite an intense five-year FBI investigation. William Davidon spent his final years living in Highlands Ranch and died in 2013. Sarah Davidon is a graduate of Harvard University and is on the faculty of the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Call 303-795-3961.

Fire Chief
Fun facts about the chief
Continued from Page 1
Staff report
A team mentality South Metro Fire, which employs more than 360 people, has put an emphasis on education and boasts perhaps the most intelligent command staff in the entire state. The number of executive fire officers and chief fire officers, both certifications that require hours of classwork and training, is in the double-digits. “I’m blessed to be surrounded by unbelievably competent, compassionate people, so they make you look really good,” Baker said. Walking around the office with the new chief, his popularity is apparent. Employees serving in a multitude of roles offer a genuine, enthusiastic greeting, or an occasional inside joke. Baker claps shoulders, shares laughs and shakes hands like he’s running for office. But it’s not an act. The interactions are a natural extension of his affable personality, one that has, at least in part, earned him considerable respect and the highest position at one of the five largest fire protection agencies in the state. Baker admits that he misses the immediate gratification that came with being a firefighter: saving a life, receiving thank-you notes from schoolkids, Christmas cookie deliveries. But now he gets to put others in a position to succeed. “My gratification now is to be able to provide for our family that’s taking care of your family,” he said.

Ladies Fishing on the Fly The Highlands Ranch Cultural Affairs Association teams up with the Cutthroat Chapter of Trout Unlimited to teach girls and women
April 3, 2015
South Metro Fire Chief Bob Baker had only a high school diploma when he joined the Parker Fire Protection District in 1984 (Parker Fire is in the final stages of a merger with South Metro) for an annual salary of $15,500. Since then, he earned an associate’s and a bachelor’s degree before getting his master’s in executive leadership, all while working and raising a family. Baker represents the second of three generations of firefighters. In 1982, he turned down an appointment to the Air Force Academy and a sponsorship to the illustrious GM Institute — now Kettering University — and instead moved from Flint, Mich., to Colorado, where there were more opportunities for a career in firefighting. Here are some things you probably didn’t know about Baker: • He has a sophisticated woodworking shop in his garage and made the cabinetry and shelving in his home by hand. • He has rocked his trademark mustache — once a seeming prerequisite for firefighters — for the vast majority of his 31-year career. Former South Metro Fire Chief Dan
Qualman remembers a brief “weird” period when Baker shaved it and was nearly unrecognizable. • He doesn’t have a nickname in the department, but when he was a newbie, co-workers teased him about Bob Baker’s badge number his curly hair and threatened reflects the year he joined and his to put Velcro on the ceiling position as the 28th employee to store Baker and conserve hired by what was then a fledgspace, Qualman said. • The new chief has built ling fire protection district. File Pinewood Derby fire trucks photo with his kids. • Every member of his immediate family, including his daughters-in-law, either works or has certifications in the public-service sector. • He has known Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock for almost 30 years. • He has played competitive softball and basketball and is an avid skier.
are less common when patients take their medications as prescribed by their physician. Part D has helped save Medicare about $1,200 a year per patient in medical spending unrelated to prescription drugs. In the past decade, we’ve seen exciting new treatments for cancer, diabetes, Crohn’s disease, fibromyalgia, cystic fibrosis, lupus, hepatitis C and many other devastating diseases. These breakthroughs promise to dramatically improve the health of seniors while reducing the economic costs of many debilitating conditions. Many new medicines are being researched and developed right here in Colorado.
Despite Part D’s undeniable popularity and success, some in Congress are looking to change the program in their push to cut the budget. Over the past several years, some lawmakers have proposed changes to Part D that would save little money, while destroying a market-based structure that has kept the program’s costs repeatedly under budget. Of particular concern is a proposal to weaken the Medicare Part D Low Income Subsidy program, also known as “Extra Help.” This proposal would require seniors, many below the poverty level, to pay more for brand name medicines. Losing Extra Help would be burdensome for low-income seniors and in-
crease out-of-pocket costs for many people. Simply put, Medicare Part D is one government program that is popular and saves money. Let’s protect what works. Our leaders in Washington shouldn’t let today’s political battles get in the way of something that benefits the health of Colorado’s seniors today and for decades to come.

his year, six weren’t enough. With all the talent in south metro-area high school basketball, Colorado Community Media added one more spot to both our girls and boys all-star teams. We know, only five players can be on the court at a time, but every great team needs depth — and more than just a “sixth man.” This week, we bring you the All-South Metro Girls Basketball selections. The choices were made by CCM’s sports staff, with the help of area coaches, from among players who attend schools in Douglas County and the Littleton Public Schools district, as well as Cherry Creek High School.

Warriors fall short in home opener Mullen bats too much for Arapahoe By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Arapahoe players battled hard until the final out but weren’t able to score the runs needed as they lost the March 24 home opener to Mullen, 10-2. “We are young and working to get better every game,” Arapahoe Coach Luke Muller said. “We have no returning starters and only one of this year’s players saw limited action last year off the bench with the varsity. So, we are still working on our game as we get ready for the league season.” The Warriors, like so many area high schools, were on spring break last week. But, while many schools traveled to out-of-state tournaments, Arapahoe stayed home and played local teams, including two league games against Mullen. The team won its first two games of the season, defeating Chatfield and Regis in non-league contests. Mullen was the first league opponent the Warriors faced this season and the Warriors were on the road to March 26 meet the Mustangs again. Mullen again won, this time 7-3. Arapahoe kept busy as, on March 31 they traveled to Highlands Ranch and on April 1 were at Chaparral. The next home game was April 3 against district rival Heritage and the Warriors are at home April 7 to resume league competition against Cherokee Trail. Muller took time before the March 24 game to talk about his team and the coming season. The coach said he feels his pitching depth will be a team strength this season. “We have 10 guys who can pitch for us this season,” he said. “Eight of the guys are pitchers plus a couple more who can throw for us if needed.” He said depth is also a strength. “We had a decent hitting lineup plus we have guys on the bench who can come in if someone is not having a good day or we need a pinch hitter,” he said. “The same is true of our pitching staff.” The Warriors are in the Centennial League, which Muller said means it will be a challenging season. “The league is always tough,” he said. “We know Cherry Creek is always strong and Grandview will be tough. Really there are no easy games on the league schedule and I expect there will be six of the eight teams battling for the league championship.” On March 24, Mullen broke a scoreless tie in the top of

Whitehead had one of the Warriors’ three hits and drove in a run, but Mullen won the game, 10-2. Photos by Tom Munds the fourth inning with a walk and a double. The Mustangs kept the bats going in the fifth inning with key hits to push four runs across the plate. Arapahoe responded in the bottom of the fifth with a pair of runs. The Warriors got two runners on base and profited from a Mullen balk to move the runners to second and third with one out. Another balk sent a runner home and William Metherd’s single drove in the Warrior’s second run of the game. However, Mullen put the game out of reach with five runs in the top of the fifth and went on to win, 10-2. Arapahoe collected three hits against Mullen. Warriors Max Whitehead and Jacob Goodman each had a double and Metherd’s RBI single accounted for Arapahoe’s third hit. Senior Trevor Johnson was the starting pitcher for the Warriors. He went 4 2/3 innings. He gave up for hits, four earned runs and struck out three.
Catcher Jacob Schramm catches the ball he blocked with his chest during Arapahoe’s March 24 game against Mullen. Schramm’s play kept a runner from advancing but the Mustangs got the key hits needed to win the game.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) There are still some questions on all sides that need to be dealt with in order to allow hurt feelings to heal. Get your workplace tasks done early so that you can devote more time to loved ones.

really great ideas.” Advisory council member Taylor Kallsen, 18, of Centennial, who represents Senate District 27, believes Colorado’s youths are smart and many of them want to make a difference. “It’s important that we have a voice,” he said. “I realized how powerful this council can be.” Most people choose to be in politics because they care, Kallsen said, and added the legislators come from civilian backgrounds, and go in to politics because they want to make a difference. Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, addressed the youths and expressed her support for COYAC. “Please, please, please continue the work you do,” she said. “Not only here, but beyond, in future years, because we need more people like you.” Kallsen, who will be reaching the end of his two-year term this year, is going to continue to promote COYAC, he said, even after he graduates high school. “It’s a good experience,” Kallsen said, “even for those who don’t have a huge interest in politics.” A lot of times, the job of a politician is difficult and thankless, said COYAC member Cole Hancock, 16, of Littleton who represents Senate District 26. COYAC’s policy recommendations are valuable to the politicians because it proves the youth does care about what happens in Colorado. “It’s important to show them that the decisions they make will affect all of us in the future,” Hancock said. No matter how young a person is, he said, there will always be benefits of learning what is happening in the Legislature and important policy decisions. “Even though we can’t vote yet,” Hancock said, “we can still have our voices heard.” — Colorado Community Media reporter Amy Woodward contributed to this report.
Are you interested in joining the council? Here’s what you need to know about the Colorado Youth Advisory Council: • It is is made up of 40 students who represent Colorado’s 35 state senate districts, plus five at-large seats to ensure diversity on the council. • It is open to all Colorado youths between the ages of 14 and 19 who are attending a Colorado junior high, middle or high school, including online schools; nonpublic, home-based educational programs; or general equivalency degree programs. •Members serve two-year terms, during which they develop and build a relationship with their Colorado state representative and/or senator. • It is student-run. Each COYAC member serves on two committees, one procedural and one policy. Policy committees fluctuate every year based on subjects that are relevant and timely to youth and the priorities of the state Legislature. There are four procedural committees that help COYAC run efficiently and help manage administrative tasks. There is also an executive committee, which includes youth co-chair, youth vice-chair, secretary and treasurer. These positions are voted on by the council. • The students are mentored by four members of the Colorado General Assembly — two state senators and two state representatives, one Republican and one Democrat each. To learn more about COYAC, visit www.COYAC.org. The application can be downloaded from the “Become a Member” page. To nominate a youth to serve on COYAC, email Maureen Wolsborn at info@coyac.org.

and took about two years, Holcomb said. City council adopted Phase 1 in August 2011, which included more than 30,000 residential properties. Phase 2 was adopted in December 2012, and 331 parcels of land were rezoned, which included 34 special districts such as government entities and school districts. Additionally, Holcomb added, more than 30 “unique” rezoning applications were submitted to the city “from commercial property owners seeking inclusion” into the new code. “This was a recognition that the 2011 LDC was a more attractive option than the Legacy zoning,” Holcomb said. Phases 1 and 2 were completed in 2011 and 2012, and encompassed about 95 percent of all the properties in Centennial, Holcomb said. The remaining commercial properties, about 1,760, are included in Phase 3, which was adopted on March 16. The city did extensive outreach and notification during the process, Holcomb said, which included 60 public meetings, nearly 40,000 pieces of individualized notice in the form of letters and postcards, plus recurring published articles and newsletters made available to the public. There was no formal opposition through the entire process, Holcomb said. The community expressed a “great display of support,” he added, and attributes this to being able to present them with “a high-quality code, a robust outreach strategy and exceptional transparency in operations.” “The 2011 LDC has proven to be a desired commodity,” Holcomb said. “The city will now be able to implement its vision and values for the community.”
