Chautauqua County’s innovative 2% Occupancy Tax for Lakes and Waterways Grant Program has been improved for 2018. Changes include new application dates and a new Request For Assistance (RFA) form that is intended to help applicants prepare stronger, more compelling grant applications. “There is a substantial need in the County for these grant-funded projects; however, the application process and administrative requirements can be daunting,” said Chautauqua County Watershed Coordinator Dave McCoy. “The RFA process is intended to help pair prospective applicants with technical service providers such that high-quality projects can be developed and delivered.” The 2% Occupancy Tax for Lakes and Waterways Grant Program offers competitive grants of up to $40,000 for water quality improvement projects including streambank and lakeshore stabilization, agricultural runoff, drainage, and stormwater management. Applications for the 2019 program will be available on February 1, 2018 and will be due on April 1, 2018.

Carve a Pumpkin for Audubon’s Enchanted Forest Contributed Article Audubon Community Nature Center
Audubon Community Nature Center is looking for families and folks who would like to carve pumpkins to light the Enchanted Forest trail. Friday and Saturday, October 6 and 7, are the magical evenings when you will find talking animals along a lighted trail – and adults as fascinated as the children they accompany. You can add to the magic by designing and carving a pumpkin to decorate the trail on Monday, October 2, 5:30-7 p.m., at the Nature Center. There will be some pumpkins and carving tools provided but feel free to bring your own. This is great family volunteer opportunity but open to all. Children must be accompanied and assisted by an adult. Carving will be inside or outside, depending on the weather. Participants at the weekend’s Enchanted Forest will vote for their favorite pumpkin design, with the winners receiving a one-year Audubon Family Membership. While walk-ins are welcome, reservations are appreciated. You can register online at the Programs page at auduboncnc.org. Click all the way through to Check-Out, even though the cost is zero. Enchanted Forest is a non-scary Halloween treat that will engage your imagination, maybe make you laugh, and teach you something about local wildlife. Costumes are encouraged. The evening begins with stories and songs at a backyard campfire. Then you are escorted around a trail by volunteer “fireflies” that light the way with lanterns. Larger-than-life-sized animals tell about their lives, sharing fun and educational information through dramatic and entertaining stories. After about a 45-minute walk, you can enjoy crafts and snacks as you explore the Nature Center inside. Enchanted Forest is made possible through the dedication of many volunteers, some of whom are registered with

ChautauquaStar.com is mobile friendly! View Elk in Pennsylvania with Audubon Contributed Article Audubon Community Nature Center
The Audubon Nature Center is offering a rare opportunity: a day-long fieldtrip to learn about and view herds of elk. Elk once roamed much of North America but began to disappear from the East in the 1800s due to overhunting and habitat destruction. Reintroduction programs beginning in the early twentieth century brought wild stock from western populations back east. One strong population can be found in Benezette, Pennsylvania, about 80 miles southeast of the Nature Center. At 10 a.m. on Wednesday, October 4, the Audubon van will depart for Benezette to visit the beautiful Elk Country Visitor Center. After lunch in St. Marys, the afternoon will be spent learning about these majestic animals through displays and diorama, interactive touch screen exhibits, the touch and feel Discovery Room and, for an additional fee, the 4D story theater. The Elk Country Visitor Center’s 245 acre property is prime habitat for elk and other wildlife, with crops planted that elk prefer, to attract them and increase viewing opportunities. Three trails are available for
an easy and enjoyable walk leading to observation areas next to the fields. In the fall males have regrown antlers and are attracting females with a bugling call. It is possible to observe skirmishes between males for territory and mates at this time of year as well. After dinner at the Benezette Hotel, the group will travel nearby roads to view herds of elk at dusk, when they are most active. Rick Rupprecht will host this trip. Rupprecht has been visiting the elk annually for many years and knows the best spots to see them. Participants should dress for comfort in the van and for the weather. Bring binoculars, cameras, snacks, brown bag lunch (or money to buy lunch), water, and money for dinner. For more information about the Elk Country Visitor Center visit ExperienceElkCountry.com. Return will be approximately 10:30 p.m. Cost is $56 or $42 for Nature Center members. Reservations with payment are required by Thursday, September 28, 2017: Call (716) 569-2345 during business hours or reserve online through the Programs page at auduboncnc.org.

Does Where You Live Determine How Long You Live? Contributed Article StatePoint
From one corner of a city or county to another, life expectancy can vary by five, 10 or even 20 years, according to a report from the Center on Society and Health. “What would it take to close those gaps across our community and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to be as healthy as possible?” asks Dr. Clyde Yancy, M.D., American Heart Association past president and chief of cardiology at Northwestern University in Chicago. “For many communities, it requires removing obstacles to health such as poverty and discrimination.” Thirty million people in neighborhoods nationwide have little or no access to healthful food like fruits and vegetables, and almost two-thirds of teens living in the United States don’t get the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity. While progress is being made to help children grow up healthy, every state has communities with greater gaps and racial disparities. To make sure all kids can lead a long and healthy life, a new campaign called Every Child Needs is shedding light on the types of resources schools and communities need to create healthy environments that help children succeed. As a result, more than 20 organizations dedicated to improving nutrition and increasing physical activity among children, have come together to build a foundation for a healthy future. Experts involved have identified the following key elements that every child needs to grow up healthy. A Healthy Start • At hospitals and worksites, moms need support and guidance for breastfeeding to help ensure infants

receive the best nutrition. • At home and in centers for early care and education, children need age-appropriate play and space to roll, crawl, wobble and run. • All kids require healthful drinks and food such as milk or water, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. A Healthy School • Nutritious school lunches and smart snacks, and a school free from marketing of junk foods and sugary drinks, are crucial. • Children need time to be active at recess; physical education and
bursts of energy through classroom movement activities. A Healthy Community • On the way to school, every child needs safe sidewalks and street crossings to bike or walk. • After school, every child needs nutritious snacks, healthful beverages, and time to be active and play in afterschool programs. • Throughout the neighborhood, every child needs safe places to go for a walk, play at a park and ride on a bike; and grocery and corner stores stocked with appealing nutritious foods and drinks.

Tips to Boost Your Baby’s Health from Day One Contributed Article StatePoint
New moms want to give their babies everything they need to grow up healthy and strong -- and the first six months are some of the most important, helping determine the course of their health trajectories. During this crucial time, there are many different ways that parents can help create a foundation for life-long health. • Breastfeed. Breastfeeding is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, as it’s the best source of nutrition for your baby and is beneficial to both mothers and children. The benefits are far-reaching and include protection against diseases and conditions such as respiratory tract infections, type 1 and type 2 diabetes and certain cancers in babies, and can reduce a mother’s risk of breast and ovarian cancers. • Get more out of breast-
milk. For all of breastmilk’s benefits, its third most abundant nutrient is indigestible by babies’ bodies. But recent research from Evivo, a maker of baby probiotics, has solved the paradox: this component of breastmilk is actually the perfect nourishment for a key type of beneficial gut bacteria critical to the development of a baby’s metabolism and immune system during the first six months of life. It’s this initial setup of good gut bacteria that helps fight off potentially bad bacteria linked to colic, eczema, allergies, asthma, diabetes and obesity. “Unfortunately, the last 100 years of modern medicine have created a negative shift in the balance of good vs. potentially harmful gut bacteria in most U.S. babies, due to the unintentional consequences of antibiotic use, C-section deliveries and formula feeding,” says Dr. Tanya Altmann, MD, and spokesperson for Evivo. “But
parents can restore their baby’s gut microbiome with probiotics.” To get more out of breastmilk, and promote your baby’s developing metabolism and immune system, Altmann recommends incorporating a probiotic such as Evivo into your routine. Evivo is the only probiotic clinically proven to restore a baby’s gut to the way nature intended. To learn more, visit evivo.com. • Good nutrition.

5 Home Maintenance Projects to Tackle this Fall Contributed Article StatePoint
Fall is the perfect time to complete those pesky home maintenance projects left on your to do list. If you’ve been putting off these chores, you’re not alone, but it could cost you. In fact, a national survey from Erie Insurance shows many Americans are putting themselves and their homes at financial risk by delaying important home maintenance tasks. Make sure you’re protected by focusing on these five areas: • The Roof. Twenty-three percent of homeowners admit they never inspect their roof or have it inspected unless there is a problem, according to the Erie Insurance survey. Unfortunately, replacing a roof is also one of the biggest expenses a homeowner may have if not maintained properly. Nationally, the average homeowner spends about $6,600 to install a new roof, but prices can soar upwards of $20,000. Don’t be stuck with a hefty roof repair bill. Have it inspected to see if any shingles are damaged and need to be replaced. The fall season is the optimal time to do so, since roofing is best installed when temperatures are cooler. Plus, you’ll catch any problems before winter weather kicks in. • The Gutters. Make sure downspouts drain away from the foundation and are clear of debris. Clogged gutters can lead to major issues like uneven floors, cracks in walls and interior water damage. This type of claim, also known as seep-

age, is a maintenance issue and often not covered under your home insurance policy. To prevent any major issues, clean gutters at least twice a year in fall and spring. • The Dryer Exhaust Duct. Does it take you two to three cycles to dry a load of laundry? If so, you may need to clean your dryer vent. One in five (21 percent) admit they never clean their clothes dryer ducts, unless they have a problem. But lint build-up can catch fire easily. Over 15,000 dryer fires oc-
curred nationwide from 20102014, with the majority being ignited by dust, fiber and lint, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Avoid this disaster with a thorough cleaning at least once a year. • The Fireplace Chimney. Erie Insurance found nearly half (46 percent) of people who own a home with a fireplace never have their chimneys cleaned. However, uncleaned chimneys are a leading cause of structure fires, reports the National Fire Protection Association. So, get
the chimney cleaned before the cold weather hits and you find yourself tossing logs in the hearth to keep the house toasty, and then have it cleaned annually. • The Sump Pump and Pit. Sump pumps remove excess water from homes that would otherwise cause property damage. It’s important to clean a sump pump and its pit annually to keep basements dry and help prevent mold growth and water damage. Do this maintenance project in fall to help
protect against heavy rainfalls and accumulated melting snow and ice of winter. For more information on how you can protect your home through the seasons, visit www. ErieInsurance.com. Now that you have your checklist, it’s time to roll up your sleeves while it’s still nice outside. Whether you’re a DIYer or prefer hiring a professional, crossing these projects off your to-do list will help ensure you’re safe and secure before temperatures drop.

New Form of Farming Revolutionizes the Way We Eat Contributed Article NewsUSA
By 2050, the world population will reach almost 10 billion people, at least 66 percent of whom will live in urban areas. Water-scarcity issues are rampant and will only increase, and the ability to feed humanity is a vital issue that must be tackled now. Thankfully, technological innovations are giving hope to addressing this catastrophic problem. Texas-based Mouser Electronics created a program this year called Shaping Smarter Cities that features engineering marvels throughout the world that are helping solve humanity's most pressing problems. The company makes electronic components that engineers of any level can purchase online to make the projects of their dreams. In this video, (http://bit.ly/2grhOWD) their celebrity spokesperson, Grant Imahara, visits Tokyo, Japan, where more people live than in the entire state of Illinois -- too many mouths to feed for traditional farming to take on alone. The city presents an ideal testing ground for vertical/urban farming. Mouser shows how a vertical farming facility can efficiently provide fresh food for the densely populated city. The food produced there yields 50-100 times more
per square meter than traditional farming. And the indoor setting allows for almost complete control of weather conditions and temperature. Even the water gets recycled to reduce the drain on resources. The end result? Up to 99 percent in water savings. This video is one of many in Mouser's Empowering Innovation Together initiative. Since its creation last year, incredible engineering
feats have been spearheaded through their electronic components partners -- with projects ranging from bringing superhero technology to life to 3D printing a semi-autonomous car with drone technology. The focus of this year's program is about solving tough problems that impact humanity as a whole. To watch more awe-inspiring videos, visit http:// www.mouser.com/empowering-innovation
How Libraries Are Changing in Communities Nationwide Contributed Article StatePoint
As we become increasingly reliant on digital content available on-demand, what happens to our repositories for printed material? The answer may be simpler than you think: Libraries aren’t just about books any more. Most have shifted focus from their collections to the communities they serve, and adjusted their designs to match. Library-sponsored programs, such as children’s reading hours and job-search assistance sessions, are bolstering many branches’ outreach and education efforts. A 2016 library use study from the Pew Research Center indicates an increase in the number of people visiting libraries for educational purposes: 27 percent of library users said they’d attended classes, programs or lectures at their local institutions, a 10 percent increase over 2015. But the breadth of events a modern library can host relies upon the physical space within each building, which is why a major part of this change comes in the
form of reconfigured spaces. To accommodate shifts in usage, library systems have been improving their physical structures. For example, marquee projects by renowned architects have reinvigorated the Washington, DC, Public Library (DCPL) system, with 15 completed remodels (two of which were designed by the pairing of Adjaye Associates and the Freelon Group, of National Museum of African American History & Culture fame). Six more library upgrades are currently on the horizon in DC, including a renovation and addition to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. An architectural team comprised of Martinez + Johnson Architecture and Mecanoo will modernize that facility, aiming to improve overall transparency and visibility while adding amenities such as a café, a roof terrace event space and spaces for music production and fabrication. The end goal, according to DCPL, is to position the library as an engine for social improvement as opposed to simply being a place to pick up or drop off a book. To learn more about how libraries are changing in communities nationwide, visit topicarchitecture.com.

Even as new digital technologies emerge, modern libraries will always remain home to large holdings of printed material. Many collections have already expanded to include e-reader versions of popular titles, music and video on a variety of media. But the latest design improvements to libraries make them not only enjoyable venues for reading, but also welcoming places to build community.

London Unveils Autumn's Can't-Miss Cultural Events Contributed Article NewsUSA
London's Autumn Season remains a highlight of the country's cultural calendar, and this fall is no exception. "With a strong dollar making a dream trip to London more affordable, the city is projecting a sharp increase in visitor arrivals up to 2025, including 3.3 million visitors from the United States," according to London & Partners, the Mayor of London's official promotional agency. "But the benefits of visiting London in the fall include smaller crowds and an incredible lineup of events right across the city," the agency adds. Highlights of this year's autumn season include: -Magical museums. The British Library celebrates the anniversary of the publication of the first book in the Harry Potter series with a special exhibit, Harry Potter: A History of Magic. Other museum gems include the diving blue whale at the Natural History Museum and an intimate look at Ferraris at the Design Museum. -Extraordinary events. Broadway arrives at London's West End with an installment of Hamilton: An American Musical, and the London Symphony Orchestra introduces its new director, Sir Simon Rattle, at the Barbican Theatre. In addition, Wembley Stadium will play host to the MTV European Music Awards, and the NFL's London Games brings American football to the city. -Past, presents, and postage. This fall, Buckingham Palace showcases gifts presented to Queen Elizabeth during the last 65 years. In addition, tourists can now travel via the Mail Rail -- the underground line between Paddington and Whitechapel used to deliver the Royal Mail -- and visit London's new Postal Museum to explore reviews of postal design and
technology and the intimacy of personal letters. -Charm for children. The V&A Museum of Childhood includes an exhibit on the story, War Horse, and other beloved children's characters in an exhibit saluting author Michael Morpugo. -Sunset shifts. Visitors and locals with a second wind at the end of the day can take advantage of London's Museums at Night festival, which allows access to the city's cultural treasures after hours. And this year, visitors to London can enhance their stay by consulting video guides for tips on how to experience the city like a local.Celebrity narrators who share their secrets include Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator of the musical, Hamilton; vocalist and broadcaster JumokĂŠ Fashola; author and fashion historian Amber Buchart; and Blue Badge Tour Guide David Mildon.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “Baby Driver” Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Baby Driver,” one of the summer’s biggest blockbuster action films. It stars Ansel Elgort, Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm and Jamie Foxx, and will be screened on Sat., Sept. 23, and Tues., Sept. 26, at 7:30 p.m. In “Baby Driver,” a talented, young getaway driver (Elgort) named Baby relies on the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game. When he meets the girl of his dreams (Lily James), Baby sees a chance to ditch his criminal life and make a clean getaway. But after being coerced into working for a crime boss (Spacey), he must face the music when a doomed heist threatens his life, love and freedom. Richard Roeper, in the Chicago Sun-Times, calls the film “one of the most entertaining thrill rides of this year, this decade.” Joe Morgenstern, in the Wall Street Journal, calls it “a terrific night at the movies.” Peter Howell, in the Toronto Star, says it’s “that blast of energy we’ve all been waiting for.” Ty Burr, in the Boston Globe, says the film “somehow maintains a tone of sweetness even as bullets fly, blood spurts, and gears are stripped.” Lindsey Bahr, in the Associated Press, says “there’s nothing like an epic getaway chase to kick a movie into high gear, and the first five minutes of Baby Driver are pure movie magic.” Rated R
for violence and language throughout, “Baby Driver” runs one hour, 52 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening.

Winged Ox Players to Present “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” Contributed Article The Winged Ox Players
The Winged Ox Players will present their fall production of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, on Friday and Saturday September 22 and 23 and September 29 and 30 at 7:30pm at the Willow Bay Theatre, 21 East Third Street, Jamestown. The Winged Ox Players is a ministry of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Jamestown. The local theater group presents plays that deal with contemporary issues and deliver thought provoking messages. Their last production of “Least Resistance” an original play based on true-life stories of local individuals affected by the Opioid Crisis, brought rave reviews, and was invited to be presented in Chautauqua and Buffalo, NY. “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” is a ground-breaking play by Dale Wasserman, based on the novel by Ken Kesey. The play is set in a mental institution in the 1960’s. It offers a harsh and yet compelling view of both the individuals suffering from mental health conditions and the mental health professionals who are entrusted with their care and treatment. Steven Michael Cobb, Winged Ox Players’ Artistic Director and Director of the production says that the group has chosen to bring the issue of the public perception of mental illness to light by staging this production. Admission to the show is free of charge, but proceeds from donations collected at each performance will be donated to local mental health organizations. “While conditions in mental institutions and our society’s understanding of mental health have improved significantly, most people who suffer from mental health concerns never seek treatment for a variety of reasons including social stigma, cultural norms, and lack of access.” says Cobb. “This play offers us the opportunity to work in our community to reduce the stigma of mental health conditions and to encourage open and honest conversations about mental health.” As an effort to be a part of the solution to this sometimes-overwhelming issue, the Winged Ox Players will be participating in the Out of the Darkness Community Walk for Suicide Prevention on Saturday, September 23 in Jamestown. St. Luke’s will also be offering an 8-hour course on Mental Health First Aide on Oct 15 and 16th. This training will teach participants to identify risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help. For more information about the play or any of the other collaborative events, please contact Steven Cobb (716-499-5142), Marge Fiore, (margefiore777@gmail.com) or Willow Fodor (wfodor@gmail.com).

Black Belt Advancement Ceremony
Contributed Article
The Family Martial Arts Center
On Wednesday, September 13, Sensei Josiah Cox, advanced to his Junior Shodan black belt through the Fudozen Shorinji Kempo Karate organization. Officiated by Sensei Don LeBlanc. Sensei Cox, 13 years old is from Dunkirk New York. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan and Tedi Cox. He is in the 8th grade in the Dunkirk Middle school as an honor student. Sensei Cox has been a member of The Family Martial Arts Center since age 6. His progression has been exciting and adventurous. The training consists of mental and physical endurance and challenges. One may think the Martial Arts is all physical. Incorrect. Most training is mental. Reading one's body movements, telegraphing body placements, awareness of surroundings, confidence to make a wise choice, socializing with groups, being able to teach their own individual knowledge to Students with precise accuracy, becoming a role model, using the skills learned in other life obstacles and skills (sports and activities) and to persevere as a young adult. Sensei Cox’ training consisted in punches, kicks, ground defense and offense, balance in the mind and body, grappling, weapons training and many other aspects of defense. Sensei Cox has many goals. I am very excited to be part of his life and his growth and to see where his journey takes him. Now Sensei Cox has the opportunity to create his own diverse style and training methods in the Kempo organization. Junior black belts are in training for their Adult black belt. This takes several years. Sensei Cox will be an Instructor for junior students and others. Several of our black belts attended the ceremony. I want to thank the Sensei’ families and friends for supporting him on this day and through the journey.

Golfer's
D i a ry
Bonus Weather!!! By Stefan Gestwicki Star Contributing Writer
Fall golf has and always will be my favorite. Perhaps it would be different in another part of the country, but the crispness in the air combined with the aroma of grapes at nearly every course in the region makes for a perfect environment. Usually golfers are hitting the ball pretty well during this time of year, too. Usually. My own struggling game aside, we’ve definitely been getting some bonus golf days recently. It feels more like summer than fall, which is good because we got shafted a bit in August with several chilly, rainy days in a row. Nick and I also discovered the perfect time of the week to golf – during the Buffalo Bills games. So many people around here (especially the sports fans that you’d find on a golf course) watch the lovable losers religiously, so the courses are generally pretty empty once kickoff starts at 1 p.m. We headed to Hillview Golf Course in Fredonia not really expecting to play a full 18 holes, but we were able to play so quickly that we just kept going after we finished the first nine. Speaking of that first nine, let’s never speak of it again. It was ugly. If it wasn’t for an out-of-nowhere birdie on No. 6, my score would have reached the 50s. Yeah… it was terrible. Nick was actually worse. Again, we don’t need to talk about it because we played another nine that I can write about. No. 1 gave me fits again, but pars on Nos. 2 & 3 got me back to feeling good about myself. A string of bogey golf led me up to No. 8. I hit one of those drives with topspin that doesn’t get off the ground very high and just bites downward. That left me a good 200+ yards from the green. My 4-iron, which was my go-to club when I first started golfing, hasn’t left my bag this season. But I was play-
ing so poorly that I decided to give it a whack. Well, 200+ yards later on a dead straight line had me putting for birdie. I missed, of course, but it was as if my iron was saving a season’s worth of shots for that one swing. Another par on No. 9 had me closing the day with back-to-back pars and a back-nine score of 42. That’s more like it. Nick didn’t have a good back nine, but he sure had a memorable two holes. His drive off No. 4 was straight, but short. Then he launched a hybrid to reach the green before hitting a 20-foot putt just perfectly for a birdie. On No. 5, he hit the best tee shot either of us has hit all season on the short par 3. He was pin height and within 10 feet of the cup. Unfortunately, he was way too soft on his first putt, but he still managed to write back-to-back “3’s” on his scorecard. I’m not sure that’s something I’ve ever accomplished, to be honest. The rounds were nothing too out of the ordinary, but we left Hillview feeling good because we got to meet the new management. Pricilla introduced herself to us and spoke very excitedly about improving the course. Obviously her efforts will go more towards the 2018 season, but it sounds like the course is in good hands. She’s a golfer herself and knows exactly what the course needs to improve to be more enjoyable for everyone. A lot of courses – Hillview, included – are currently running specials for 2018 memberships. Normally if you buy the membership, you can play the rest of the 2017 season for free. I’ve been a member at a course for the past three years and I highly recommend it. Just showing up and playing without having to worry about cash, etc. is wonderful in itself, but by paying for a membership upfront, you’re able to give the course management some funds to play with for improvements. It’s a great time to look into it if a golf membership has been on your mind. It sounds like the weather is going to continue to be great so you can expect to hear more of my exploits in the next issue. Until then, golf is great. Go get some.

AUTO TIPS & TRICKS 27
2018 Volvo XC60 T8: First Drive Review Contributed Article Autotrader
We recently had a chance to get behind the wheel of the all-new 2018 Volvo XC60, which we quickly deemed a worthy contender in a highly competitive segment. So of course we jumped at the chance to check out a new, top-tier version of the XC60 -- the plug-in hybrid T8. What Is T8? The XC60 T8 variant is a hybrid system with a turbocharged and supercharged 4-cylinder engine up front with an electric motor in the back. This "twin engine" setup is good for 400 horsepower and 472 lb-ft of torque. Despite a slightly longer lag in acceleration than we expected, at full throttle it was a rocket. The T8 comes standard with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which felt extremely responsive. Just like all other 2018 XC60s, the T8 is only offered with an allwheel-drive system. Breaking Down the Trims The XC60 T8 will be available in Momentum, R-Design and Inscription trim levels. The R-Design clearly has a sportier look over the Momentum with larger 19-inch wheels, exterior cues such as a gloss black grill and interior features like sport seats and paddle shifters. The Inscription also comes with 19-in wheels but has a more premium interior with features such as driftwood inlays and a tailored dashboard. Both the R-Design and Inscription trims come with drive mode settings that allow you to change the driving characteristics depending on your mood. Volvo's Bread and Butter Now onto what has always made Volvo the standout in the industry: safety. And that has not changed with this T8 -- the standard safety features on the XC60 are extraordinary. Run-off-road mitigation, lane-keeping aid, oncoming lane mitigation, driver alert control, road sign information, automatic braking after collision and collision avoidance by city safety are among the biggest. The Numbers The 2018 Volvo XC60 is a premium vehicle, and with the T8 being the top engine, pricing does reflect this. In fact, Volvo explained that no longer are they marketing this smaller vehicle as any less premium than their XC90. Every fea-
ture found in their bigger vehicle is available here. While the "base" T5 Momentum starts at $42,495 (including the $995 destination charge), if you opt for the T8 with all available options, you are getting into the low-$70,000 range. Having said that, the T8 qualifies for a U.S. Federal Tax Credit of $5,002, which should help make it a consideration and excuse to enjoy all of that extra power. To gain access to this information, Autotrader attended an event sponsored by the vehicle's manufacturer.
