reach our next milestone of screening every child in Monroe County,” Pocono Alliance executive director Michael Tukeva said.

The screening program has expanded this year to also include a Parents’ Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS) screening which helps determine risks for developmental delays. The children’s care coordinator is trained to conduct over-thephone and in-person screenings and identify any potential factors that may be interfering with a child’s growth and learning. After the evaluation is conducted, recommendations and referrals will be made based on a child’s specific needs. The children’s care coordinator later follows up with families that have been referred for further evaluation to make

sure that they have been in touch with early intervention providers and are receiving the services needed for their child.

“We hope to make parents more aware of how their child is developing, address any concerns they may have and follow up with them to ensure these children have the opportunity to reach their full potential,” Tukeva said.

PEDS Screenings can take place at local agencies and events as well as over the phone using the PoconoInfo Helpline. For more information on the PEDS screening program, call 570-933-6059, email NTukeva@monroecountypa.gov, or visit PoconoAlliance.org.

A mid-size that acts like a bruiser 2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax Diesel Entry Base Price: $20,100 Price as Tested: $41,905 This week, we’re driving the anticipated 2016 Chevy Colorado pickup, delivered with the new to the U.S. 2.8-liter four-cylinder Duramax Turbo Diesel under the hood. Our tester came in 4WD Crew Cab four-door dress that features the Z71 off-road suspension package fare for a base price of $34,640. The extended cab and crew cab Colorados (no standard cab is available) are available in either long box (6’2”) or short box (5’2”) versions, the latter our tester’s dimensions.

The engine has been sold since 2011 in international markets, so all of the research and development has been completed prior to its stateside introduction.

Until now, Colorado was available either in the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder ($20,100 entry) or the optional 3.6-liter V6 gasoline engine ($1,235 option), but with the introduction of the 2.8 Duramax Diesel, customers demanding enhanced towing capabilities and more payload combined with outstanding fuel efficiency have a specific option to choose from.

At the heart of the Colorado Duramax Diesel formula is payload, fuel mileage and driving a mid-size truck that acts like a big bruiser when called upon. Colorado Duramax’s maximum towing capacity is a stout 7,700 pounds on 2WD models and 7,600 on the 4WD version.

Skid plates on the 4WD and a frame-mounted two-inch receiver hitch come standard with the Duramax option while an integrated trailer brake controller is standard and exclusive to all diesel Colorados. Best of all, the EPA fuel economy is excellent with 20 city and 29 highway for the 4WD Duramax and 22 city and 31 highway for the 2WD Duramax, all best in class Chevrolet’s price for the diesel upgrade on our 4WD Z71 is $3,905 which also adds a tow/ haul mode, brake controller, exhaust brake to keep speed steady while going downhill and two-speed electric transfer case.

A six-speed manual comes standard with the 2.5 entry level Colorado, which has a top tow capacity of 3,500 lbs. for those looking for a light duty truck. The V6 engine, meanwhile, is also a solid choice for towing as it can haul 7,000 lbs. and deliver 18 city and 26 highway EPA numbers.

Standard across the Duramax line is Chevy’s beefed Hydra-Matic 6L50 six-speed automatic featuring GM’s new Centrifugal Pendulum Vibration Absorber torque converter, which eliminates vibrations into the cabin and makes

for quite the smooth ride.

Duramax Diesel equipped Colorados are badged with the famous Duramax logo on the front fenders, and then further acknowledged when you start the engine and the “musical knock” begins. This diesel melody is loved by owners and when combined with outstanding exterior and interior design the result is a “double positive.”

Our tester’s optional ($745) side assist steps make entry easy while stake pocket handgrips make for easy cargo access. Notable features include 17-inch aluminum wheels, OnStar 4G Wi-Fi and four USB ports. Our tester also featured the optional $475 spray on bedliner, a $500 premium Bose stereo and a $250 enhanced trailer equipment package.

Colorado offers room for five in the Crew Cab and room for four in extended cab arrangement. Colorado continues to feature the MyLink infotainment system for $495 more that adds an eight-inch touch screen and easy to use stereo and accessory controls.

But it’s the GM built Duramax engine that receives top praise. The 2.8-liter inline fourcylinder is an iron block/aluminum head design with dual overhead cams. Internals feature forged steel cranks and heavy duty connecting rods to handle the Duramax’s 16.5 to one compression ratio. As for torque, the little 181-horse diesel generates an astounding 369 pound-feet of torque at just 2,000 rpm as I was able to chirp the tires under full throttle from a standing start. When cruising, 65-mph shows just 1,600 rpm on the tach, resulting in the outstanding highway MPG. As for the ride, Chevy Colorado Duramax is a truck, and a heavy duty one at that thanks to the Z71 suspension. However, as tough as this truck is, it delivers surprisingly good highway comfort.

Important numbers include a 128.3 inch wheelbase, 4,691 lb. curb weight, 21 gallon fuel tank, 44.6 ft. turn circle and a ground clearance of 8.3 inches.

In summary, Chevy Colorado Duramax Diesel is by far the very best mid-size truck I’ve ever driven.

Likes: Duramax fuel mileage, outstanding torque and towing, great looks.

Dislikes: Tough entry/exit without optional assist steps, not much else.

“KAIdOKU”

SUDOKU!

Each of the 26 letters of the alphabet is represented in this grid by a number between 1 and 26. Using letter frequency, word-pattern recognition, and the numbers as your guides, fill in the grid with well-known English words (HINT: since a Q is always followed by a U, try hunting down the Q first).

Only lowercase, unhyphenated words are allowed in kaidoku, so you won’t see anything like STOCKHOLM or LONG-LOST in here (but you might see AFGHAN, since it has an uncapitalized meaning, too).
