Greenwood Village reaches out to residents for feedback on transportation and traffic BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER
Nearly one year ago, the Greenwood Village City Council voted to engage a team of consultants to update the citywide transportation plan. It had been two decades since a traffic and transportation plan for the entire city had been undertaken. Comprehensive traffic studies were undertaken by Greenwood Village in 2009 and 2011 for the I-25 corridor because that is where traffic is most concentrated and troublesome. Both those studies included some recommendations to alleviate traffic congestion that was not implemented because they conflicted with stated city council policy direction to not add road capacity on Orchard Road west of Quebec Street or east of Yosemite Street. In the spring of 2017, the council moved forward with a citywide study to address recent growth and development, and plan for the future. This study would include the standard engineering methods of assessing a traffic and transportation system, but would also include the voices, concerns, and expressed preferences of the public, “throughout the planning process, to provide trust and transparency.” In June 2017, the city retained a local transportation consultant, Fehr & Peers, accompanied by GBSM, a strategic communications, management consulting, and public affairs firm that specializes in public outreach and involvement. Included in the goals and

objectives of this 18-month project, was a plan to develop innovative and context-specific strategies for all users of the transportation system, including cyclists and pedestrians. Identified as an important issue was the need for first mile/last mile analysis, to connect residents to public transit. Although Greenwood Village is mostly built out, there is always the potential for redevelopment. More importantly, the surrounding area has been growing at a brisk rate and continues to do so, which increasingly impacts GV residents’ ability to travel through the city. On March 8, GV held its first hands-on open house for residents to tell the city their traffic and transportation concerns. About 50 people dropped in during the three-hour event, including current council members George Lantz, Dave Kerber and Dave Bullock, along with
former city council members Tom Bishop, Mike DeChadenedes, Charlie Hazlehurst, Bette Todd and Freda Miklin. Residents engaged energetically with city staff and the consultants. They were also encouraged to place sticky
notes on a large table map, describing their concerns. The notes that were left had varied suggestions. One resident wanted speed bumps on Dayton between Belleview and Orchard, while another thought Day-
ton should be widened. A resident recommended that the trains from Orchard Station to downtown run later and more frequently on the weekends, “if GV wants to encourage people to use them.” Another resident suggested that there be a way to get residents to the Orchard light rail station without a car if there is no more parking planned there. Another suggested that left turns not be permitted from northbound Monaco onto westbound Belleview, or from westbound Belleview onto southbound Monaco, during the morning and evening rush hours. Staff and the consultants will record residents’ written comments from the initial meeting, and subsequent ones, as well as those posted on the city’s website dedicated to this project, greenwoodvillagevoices. com/gvconnects, and include them in their reports as the study progresses.

Irish music concert to raise money for mental illness Juice O’ The Barley to perform March 23 for music with a mission concert series
What do Irish music and mental health have in common? Aside from Irish music making your worries melt away with its lively Celtic charm, the folks at NAMI Arapahoe/Douglas counties will have the “Luck of the Irish” Friday, March 23, when local favorites Juice O’ The Barley perform a benefit concert for their organization as part of The Music with a Mission Concert Series. The concert is free to the community, and a “love offering” will be collected with all funds going to the local affiliate of NAMI, which is dedicated to the education, support and advocacy of individuals affected by mental illness within Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The concert begins at 7 p.m. at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, 8545 E.
Dry Creek Road in Centennial. Juice O’ The Barley has established itself as one of the most sought after purveyors of Irish pub music in Colorado. Taking its name from a well-known-and much consumed--Irish beverage, THE JUICE performs contemporary versions of pub classics, as well as music from the current Irish folk and pop scene. They can be found playing at local pubs and at major Irish and Celtic festivals throughout Colorado. The Juice is not your mother’s typical Irish folk group. They play their music in a style that can only be described as “Irish music with an attitude.” NAMI (the National Alliance on Mental Illness) works to achieve equitable services and treatment for more than 15 million Americans living with severe mental illnesses and their families. The Arapahoe / Douglas County affiliate provides mental health education and support, combats stigma, supports increased funding
for research, and advocates for adequate health insurance, housing, rehabilitation, and jobs for people with mental illness. This is where the real work of NAMI takes place, from support groups to classes and speakers to community outreach and help in finding community resources. NAMI relies on gifts and contributions to support their important work, so making a donation during the concert will greatly impact individuals living with mental illness in our community. The Music with a Mission Concert Series was created as an outreach project of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church to raise funds and awareness for both local, national and international mission organizations. The series is in its third season and has raised over $25,000 to date.

CCSD names Dr. Siegfried as sole finalist for new superintendent BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER
The Cherry Creek Schools Board of Education announced it will name its current deputy superintendant, Scott Siegfried, PhD, its new superintendant on March 23. Siegfried will replace Dr. Harry Bull, who is retiring at the end of the current school year. David Willman, school board president, said, “The board’s most important task is to select an exemplary
leader for the Cherry Creek School District. We believe that Dr. Siegfried is the most qualified candidate for the superintendent’s position. His vision for the district is one of continued innovation and excellence for each and every student.” Siegfried is a homegrown product, having received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University Dr. Scott Siegfried of Colorado, and his
doctorate from the University of Denver. He has spent his entire teaching career in the Cherry Creek School District, beginning as a teacher at Eaglecrest High School in 1995. After stints as dean of students, assistant principal and principal at the middle school level, he was promoted to district management, where he held multiple positions, working his way to the top. He was executive director of Student Achievement Services, assistant superintendent of Student Support Services,
and associate superintendent of Educational Services, before becoming deputy superintendent, with responsibility for general supervision and leadership of all aspects of the Cherry Creek Schools. Those who have had the opportunity to know and work with Siegfried through the years are gratified and excited to see this very intelligent and highly innovative educator assume the leadership of the Cherry Creek School District.
Littleton senior receives president’s volunteer service award Littleton High School student Sarah Payson is a recent recipient of the President’s Volunteer Service Award. The award, granted by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards Program, recognizes Americans of all ages who have volunteered significant amounts of their time to serve their communities and their country. In recognition of her volunteer service, Sarah was nominated by Littleton High School for this national award. Payson’s volunteer work is centered on YouthRoots, a philanthropic program that teaches high school students how to change the world. YouthRoots combines a robust
leadership curriculum with a real-world experiential learning program, including the completion of a three-step philanthropic process. The three steps include a needs assessment, fundraising and grantmaking. “From my experiences, I have found that students today do not lack the passion for their pursuits, but instead the confidence to follow and achieve their passions. Before YouthRoots, this was very true for me. In the past year, YouthRoots has given me the resources and support to realize and fulfill my goals, while also teaching me skills on how to make a difference and lead in
the future,” said Payson. “My most unforgettable experience was standing up on stage and awarding the checks to our four nonprofits. Not only did it act as a culmination of our efforts, but it also acted as a realization of the impact I can have. I now know that I can make a lasting impact on my community and beyond, just as other students can.” Littleton High School Principal Amy Oaks talked about the impact of Payson’s volunteer work at school. “Sarah has been an outstanding Student Body President, determined from day one to build a stronger community at Littleton High School. Whether wel-
coming Early High School students to eighth grade, leading her basketball and soccer teammates, or helping to organize students after the tragic shootings in Florida, Sarah’s advocacy for the Littleton High School community is always steady, strong and thoughtful.” The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, sponsored by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), recognizes middle level and high school students across America for outstanding volunteer service. “The recipients of these awards demonstrate that young
people across America are making remarkable contributions to the health and vitality of their communities,” said John Strangfeld, chairman and CEO of Prudential Financial. “By recognizing these students and placing a spotlight on their volunteer activities, we hope to motivate others to consider how they can also contribute to their community.” “Demonstrating civic responsibility through volunteerism is an important part of life,” said NASSP Executive Director JoAnn Bartoletti. “These honorees practice a lesson we hope all young people, as well as adults, will emulate.”

Birthright history: Swallows always return to Capistrano
I was reading The Elk’s magazine this past week about Elkdom being 150 years old this year with lodges across the United States and many throughout Colorado with nearby lodges in Littleton and Englewood. The Elks would follow the Masonic lodge in history as two of the oldest fraternal organizations in America. There was a very interesting article about Vancouver, British Columbia described as “The Jewel of the Canadian Pacific.” I’ve never been there, but hope to go someday and have friends that rave about the city. I found especially interesting that for thousands of years people of the First Nations, as native Indians are known today in Canada, inhabited the area. In 1791, a Spaniard named Jose Maria Narvaez explored the area and laid claim to it in the name of the Spanish Crown. A year later in 1792, British naval explorer George Vancouver surveyed the coastline and inlets more thoroughly, giving names to many places that have been retained to this day. The first settlement was established in 1827 by the Hudson Bay Company that built Fort Langley, a trading post on the banks of the Fraser River. So much for Spain, as the British took over and the Vancouver name and legacy became history to this day. The Spanish claim was apparently ignored and not defended by the crown. What this claim shows was the vast presence of Spanish influence in the exploration of the west extending up into what became British Columbia. It made me think about “The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo”, signed on February 2, 1848, ending the Mexican-American War in favor of
the United States. The war had begun almost two years earlier, in May 1846 over a territorial dispute involving Texas. The defeat of Mexico and the capture of Mexico City led that nation to concede 525,000 square miles of land to the United States territory that included the land that makes up all or parts of present-day Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. Mexico also gave up all claims to Texas and recognized the Rio Grande as America’s southern boundary. These borders are still in existence today. These historical facts are significant as we discuss border walls and immigration topics. I’ve nary read any Mexican history books, but it was a sad day in Mexico when they gave up all of this land to a smaller United States with a better army. They got nothing for the land and turned it over to the United States in military defeat. We at least paid Napoleon for the Louisiana Purchase that added a vast amount of land to our country earlier in history. Russia has taken back Crimea and would like to get back Ukraine. When Mexicans come across the border legally, or illegally, they in many respects are coming back to what was once their homeland, not ours. We were the invaders who took the land away from them and defeated the Indian nations who had inhabited the west for centuries. In looking at history, it is no wonder that many Mexicans feel an infinity and closeness to the American West that was once the Mexican west. It would seem that in light of history, our president and Congress should have some sympathy towards the estimated 12 million undocumented Mexicans living in the United States and the 800,000 “dreamers” who call America home
Barbwire Bob I attended the Greenwood City Council meeting March 5 with our new governmental reporter, Freda Miklin. With her extensive background in city government, she captured the story that appeared timely in The Villager. No beating around the bush with Freda. Expect more in-depth Greenwood Village reporting from Freda. She will also assist me in covering Cherry Hills Village. I missed Cherry
where they have always lived. I’ve never liked the wall because of the cost and symbolism shown to our Mexican friends where we vacation and enjoy the wonderful people, culture and country. America is great for many reasons, but the rule of law enforced by our courts and constitution has made us powerful and successful. We must protect our borders even from those seeking to return to their historic roots, but largely for a better life and opportunities for their families and children. Maybe the wall will slow the drug trafficking and that would be a reason to proceed with this project. President Trump is determined to honor his promises to his supporters, that includes a wall. We do need to protect our borders from further intrusions. How strange that he is working to unite Korea, destroy the mined fences separating two Korea states while working to build a wall between friendly Mexico and the United States. The border must be protected and if we pull our troops out of Korea they can patrol the southern borders better. The present immigration system needs to be fixed, improved for seasonal workers, seal our borders and figure out a fair path to citizenship for illegal immigrants living here now. He seems to be a president who is fulfilling his promises. I think he understands immigration and the “dreamer” situation better than his critics think. If Congress can’t do it, or won’t, he will. Think about how America would look if Mexico had won the war and kept these territories, and the South won the war of succession. Where would we all be living now? We would all be cheering for the New England Patriots.

Before the services started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking about their families etc. when suddenly Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running to the front entrance in a frantic effort to get away from the Devil. Soon everyone was evacuated from the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew, not moving and seemingly oblivious to the fact that God’s enemy was in his presence. Now – this confused Satan a bit, so he walked up to the man and said, “Don’t you know who I am? The man replied, “Yup sure do.” Satan asked, “Aren’t you afraid of me?” “Nope, sure ain’t,” answered the old man. Satan, being a little perturbed, then asked, “Why aren’t you afraid of me?” To which the fellow calmly replied, “Been married to your sister for over 48 years.” Here, are a few statements that prove children still think – teacher - “Maria go to the map and find North America:” “ Here it is!” Teacher,” Correct.

state and local agencies, federal contracts for infrastructure and defense and human services are not being signed thus delaying projects already authorized. Essentially, the federal government is not functioning. The president has yet to appoint an ambassador to South Korea while at the same time a key Southeast Asian State Department expert has resigned his post at the State Department. While in Washington D.C. last week for a conference, Colorado county commissioners were invited to the White House to meet with staff representatives of many federal agencies. While the briefing was helpful, I was surprised that a majority of these young staffers had only been with the government for two to nine months and with a few exceptions were not well-informed about the federal agencies they represent. Departments like state,
EPA, defense and others are losing seasoned employees, which is significantly reducing the effectiveness of those federal departments. The failure of the president to recruit and retain qualified personnel is severely limiting our government from performing its constitutional responsibilities. President Trump continues to ignore the advice of senior staff on the crucial issues presented to him in briefings on national security and foreign policy issues. He has bragged to associates and the press that he is more competent and better informed than the State Department, defense intelligent agencies and the Pentagon. This arrogance and unwillingness to take any advice from seasoned professionals will likely end in a major disaster to this nation’s reputation and national security. We are a democratic republic, not a totalitarian state.
Cherry Hills Village relocates city hall
public works is in the process of moving to 2101 W. Quincy Avenue in the City of Sheridan. The design plan for John Meade Park and Alan Hutto Memorial Commons is ongoing. Plans will be reviewed by city council at an upcoming council meeting, but no date has been set for that review. Those plans, along with the design and positioning of the city’s municipal center, have been the subject of multiple community input meetings over the past more than two years.
Where have all the leaders gone? America is experiencing a period of unprecedented full employment figures. Unemployment rates among American workers have dropped to 4.1 percent as employers are struggling to find skilled workers to fill open job opportunities. There is one entity that has many jobs available: that entity is the White House. Since President Trump took office in January last year, of the 1,200 presidential appointments needing Senate confirmation, only 245 positions have been filled. Another problem facing the White House is an unprecedented number of 36 senior White House officials have either been fired from or
resigned their positions, the latest being Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson. Last week the chief economic adviser, Gary Cohn resigned. Cohn left the White House staff over a dispute with the president’s trade tariff policy. Tom Price, Secretary of Health and Human Services, resigned over misuse of travel reimbursements. Other firings include the National Security adviser Michael Flynn, presidential adviser Steve Bannon, chief of staff Reince Priebus, press secretary Sean Spicer and presidential adviser Hope Hicks. More forced resignations are forthcoming; National Security adviser General McMasters and White House Chief of Staff General Kelly
are rumored to be shown the door. The departure of many of the White House senior staffers will leave a significant gap in the knowledge and experience base that has historically assisted presidents in making important, well-documented and correct decisions in national defense, economic and foreign policies. Some Washington pundits suggest that most of the adults in the room are going or are gone. The flood of departures of key White House advisors and agency heads, coupled with the administration’s inability to find competent people to hire is creating a crisis within the federal government’s operating functions. In addition, some policies of the new administration are crippling the basic functions of governance. Routine functions like the funding for approved federal programs are not being sent to
The new CHV City Hall
The Cherry Hills Village city hall, formerly located at 2450 E. Quincy, has been temporarily relocated to 120 Meade Lane beginning Monday, March 12, as the city prepares for construction of a new city hall. After very limited services during the
move last week, regular city service for residents resumed Monday. Construction of the new city hall is expected to begin by May 2018 and plans call for its completion around the end of April 2019. The move is part of the broad revamping of the city’s civic center, which has been in the works for a decade. “I began in
2009 and there were building plans being discussed even then, and those weren’t the first plans,” said city clerk Laura Smith. “It’s really exciting to see this finally becoming a reality and the move to temporary quarters has gone very smoothly.”
In January of 2017 city Council approved financing for construction of a new city hall, a new public works facility, and the redevelopment of John Meade Park and Alan Hutto Memorial Commons. In concert with the movement of city hall services,

Area Republicans hear from candidates for governor BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER
On March 7, the Arapahoe County Republican Breakfast Club hosted a lively forum at Maggiano’s DTC. All the active candidates for the Republican nomination for Colorado governor participated. Former Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon moderated. The overflow crowd of 200 included elected officials and current hopefuls, along with recognizable Republican stalwarts. Seen greeting friends and supporters were State Sen. Jack Tate, Arapahoe County clerk Matt Crane and Sheriff Dave Walcher, and Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas. Local city councils were represented by Katy Brown from Cherry Hills Village and Mike Sutherland from Centennial. Candidates circulating in the crowd included Brett Barkey for state treasurer and Rod Bockenfeld for House District 56. Also on hand were Arapahoe County Republican chair Rich Sokol and KNUS radio host Craig Silver-
man. The gubernatorial candidates introduced themselves and answered questions. Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman told the group that quality of life is most important, and she is a problem solver. She named infrastructure as an issue on which she will focus. On the subject of the TABOR amendment’s effect on state funding, she said it has kept the budget balanced and given the people a voice. She also said that its intersection with Amendment 23 on K-12 school funding and the Gallagher Amendment, limiting property taxes, is problematic and needs to be addressed. On the question of state government growth and potential for privatization, she pointed to the DMV as having potential for privatization. Treasurer Walker Stapleton, the longest serving statewide Republican officeholder, touted his leadership defeating a state-run singlepayer health care system and his long-standing calls for reform of PERA. On TABOR, he said that

it makes government explain why it needs more money and makes state agencies more accountable. As to state government overall, he said that we can do better and that there should be an independent audit of all state agencies. As state treasurer, he was not allowed to ask questions. Doug Robinson, nephew of former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, touts himself as an outsider who feels his business experience and community involvement make him well-suited to run our state. He led in the formation of Smart Colorado, a nonprofit focused on protecting Colorado youth from the influx of the marijuana industry. On the question of TABOR, he described it as being about transparency and priorities. On the increasing size of state government, he said that as a businessman, he could improve the status quo by using the private sector to provide better services cheaper. Victor Mitchell described himself as an entrepreneur and problem solver, running to be part of the solution. A TABOR supporter for 15 years, he said the state doesn’t have a revenue problem. He would initiate performance
auditing, in addition to financial auditing. He would ask state agencies which programs they believe should be outsourced to reduce the size of government. Mitchell estimates that 25 percent of the state budget is misappropriated. Greg Lopez is the only veteran in the race, and would be the state’s first Hispanic governor. Elected mayor of the town of Parker at 27, he served as the state director of the Small Business Administration from 2008 to 2014. TABOR passed because citizens don’t trust government to spend money wisely. He said that it needs to be fixed to eliminate the loophole for fees and special assessments. Steve Barlock wore a necktie with President Trump’s image on it, reminding the crowd that he was a leader of the president’s Colorado campaign committee. He said that the state’s top issues are PERA and water. He opined that Californians should figure out a way to desalinate the ocean and use that for their water. TABOR, he told the crowd, is there to protect the people from big government and he would expand it to include all fees. He would also strengthen the Gallagher amend-

they got along well with similar views confronting government waste, PERA debts, protecting the TABOR Amendment, and holding down tax increases. The general viewpoint was that the state has enough money, but needs better budget management. The 200 assembled Republicans were listening keenly for which candidate to support. Primary elections are difficult and this year there are many qualified candidates vying for the governor’s nomination. May the best man or woman win. We have a long way to go before the November election. Cynthia Coffman is going thru the party nomination process while most of the other candidates are going by petition directly to the primary election in June. The petition process ensures being on the primary ballot, but can backfire from the party faithful. *** Same day at noon, I attended a stock club meeting at Glenmoor Country Club where George Lantz is club president. Legacy stock club members were optimistic about the future of Wall Street. Member Jay Davidson, a local banker and CEO of First American State Bank, is bullish on the economy. A club vote had all members
ment (on property taxes). All the candidates felt that U.S. Rep. Jared Polis would lead the Democratic ticket. There were varied reactions to the question on health care and the significant increase in the number of Coloradans on Medicaid in recent years. Stapleton supports those on Medicaid being required to work and containing costs. Coffman emphasized the importance of case management to help recipients find jobs and get off Medicaid. Robinson believes in managed health care and work requirements, with higher co-pays and increased emphasis on fitness. Mitchell would like to see the Affordable Care Act totally repealed and health care dollars spent on block grants in underserved communities, in clinics staffed by nurse practitioners. Lopez told his fellow Republicans that Medicaid helps seniors, the disabled and young children, but the state has to make sure that it isn’t abused. Barlock would eliminate the state’s health insurance exchange and cut down red tape and bureaucracy for medical practitioners. On the subject of transportation and infrastructure, there was general agreement that congestion on I-25 must be addressed. Stapleton would require that the person who heads up the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) have core competency in transportation and that employees who leave the department not be permitted to get contracts with it. Coffman said that most of our transportation dollars go to maintenance, due to fast expansion in recent years. Mitchell called CDOT the worst state agency, saying that 70 percent of its budget goes to overhead. Robinson would borrow the money to widen I-25, not use tolls or taxes.

positive on the market climbing higher. Oil stocks seemed to be a popular buy and rebounding. *** Friday morning off to another 7 a.m. breakfast at the South Metro Chamber of Commerce where they had a panel discussion on job training, educational opportunities, and business developments. Panel participants were John Barry, Wings Over the Rockies CEO; Eric Dunker, Arapahoe Community College; James Kynor, Community College of Denver; Sarabeth Berk, represented CU Boulder; Matt Gordon and Cathleen Badillo representing DU; and Andrew Dixon representing CSU Global. The session showed the great extent that higher education is undertaking to supply a future educated labor force such as in aviation, with a huge need for pilots. There is a strong job market for most fields and a shortage of labor. There was a full house of attendees from local industry, governments and elected officials. Doug Tisdale did his usual extraordinary job of chairing the meeting that had the room tingling with excitement over educational opportunities and business growth in the South Metro Chamber domain. ***
Ended the week with Lions District Governor Steve Kinsky at Yak and Yeti restaurant on East Hampden Avenue where they serve an excellent Indian/Nepal buffet lunch. The meeting centered around membership growth and Lions efforts to start a new Indian Lions Club in Denver with the International Lion President from India. The growth of Lion membership in India and Japan is huge with membership growing around the world, but declining here in the United States. We’re finding that the younger workforce doesn’t have time for service clubs anymore. The National Indian Chamber of Commerce is located in Denver and is interested in Lions participation. *** One last item about my good friend Mike Rosser, the wellknown metro-wide figure has completed his book on the history of mortgage banking in the West, Financing America’s Dreams. Mike has spent considerable time and effort in writing this history book and will do a book signing at The Tattered Book Cover on Sunday, March 25 at 2 p.m. location at 2626 E. Colfax Ave. Mike was a Ford Foundation scholar at CSU, selected as Outstanding Professional Alumni, and serves on many local boards and resides in Aurora.

the
South Metro Denver Chamber hosts all-star lineup of innovative educators
BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER On March 9, South Metro Denver Chamber’s highly engaging moderator and executive vice president Doug Tisdale, who also happens to chair the RTD board of directors, presented a distinguished group of educators to a full house of representatives of business, government and education, and visitors from around the globe. The topic was “Workforce Development: How Educators Fill the Pipeline.” Speakers focused on innovative training, resulting in multiple new certificates and degrees in previously unrecognized areas that furnish students the skills sought by employers. Everyone soon learned that the key to the development of effective training programs is a collaboration between private industry and the education community. The programs that CU’s Sarabeth Berk, director of Innovation & Entrepreneurship Initiative, Research & Innovation Office, University of Colorado Boulder, specifically focus on teaching students how to be more innovative and entrepreneurial. She hosts competitions for new ventures, including those focused on social awareness, as well as the for-profit world. Berk confirmed what many in the room suspected that the fastest growing field is computer science. She also said that CU is creating new types of computer science degrees as quickly as they can hire new faculty to support them. After hearing from employers in various industries, Community College of Denver determined it needed to develop new associate degrees certificate programs in career and technical education. They currently offer one-year certificate programs for students to meet the need for welders, machinists, and specialists in cybersecurity and even 3D modeling. At DU, Dr. Matt Gordon is a strong proponent of cooperative learning, where students take a timeout during their pursuit of a college degree to spend from six months to a year doing real jobs in the real world. He believes that this experience is much more useful than a typical summer internship, for both students and employers, in finding the right fit for a job after graduation. Cathleen Badillo talked about how valuable her experience was working full time at Ball Aerospace, after her junior year of college, even though it delayed the start of her senior year. She said it would have been even more valuable, had she done it a year earlier, because of all that she learned by having real job responsibilities, something that she could not have learned in a classroom setting or a few weeks

in the summer. Arapahoe Community College is multifocused on creating new pathways for employment. In addition to training blue-collar workers, they hope to provide more white-collar workers in areas like banking and finance, who represent the entire community, including minorities. Currently, ACC is partnered with companies, such as Centura Health, who “co-hire” ACC students to work in jobs for which they are seeking a certificate, simultaneous with their studies. When they complete their coursework and attain a certificate, students are employed full-time at Centura and have no school loans. ACC is very excited about its brand-new joint venture with CSU, the Douglas County School District, the Town of Castle Rock, and the Castle
Rock Economic Development Council. The ACC Castle Rock Collaboration Campus will provide a synergistic campus to offer new programs for workforce training from high school to associate degree to bachelor’s degree beginning in fall, 2019. Preliminary programs will be in health care, information technology/programming, business and entrepreneurship, and general education. Andrew Dixon presented yet another vantage point in the education to employment pipeline. He told the crowd that higher education must evolve with the industry and that CSU Global, whose average student is 35 years old, is constantly reviewing and revising its curriculum to keep current. He talked about how automation is resulting in more specialized degrees, and a new term of art, “midcareer internships.”
Last on the agenda may have been the panel member with the most unexpected presentation. Some wondered why the former superintendent of a 38,000-student diverse public school district, became president & CEO of Wings Over the Rockies, an air and space museum located in the Lowry neighborhood? John Barry, president and CEO of Wings Over the Rockies (WOTR), explained that his organization will open its second location later this year at Centennial Airport, a 15acre campus to educate future employees of the aerospace industry in multiple disciplines. He told those gathered that there is a severe shortage of qualified pilots in this country, and that available training isn’t anywhere near to keeping pace with the need for more pilots. Right now, WOTR is talking to area public schools with students from el-
ementary to college age, about potential collaboration. Listening attentively were state Rep. Jeff Bridges, Centennial Mayor Stephanie Piko, and Columbine Valley Mayor Richard Champion. Area city councils were represented by Wynne Shaw from Lone Tree, Ron Weidmann from Centennial, Dave Black from Sheridan and Dave Bullock from Greenwood Village. Numerous educators in the room hailed from virtually all the state’s public and private colleges and university systems, especially community colleges and multiple K-12 public school districts. As always, local representatives of business, from insurance to accounting, were also in the room. Rounding out the crowd were international visitors sporting State Department credentials, from countries like Egypt, Malaysia, Russia, Australia and Luxembourg.
Precinct Caucuses: Grass Roots Politics in Real Time
Republicans head to Arapahoe County Assembly
BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER Eighty people came to Cherry Creek High School for the March 6 Republican caucuses, representing 20 local precincts. The largest of the group, precinct 204, has 1,593 active registered voters, and 11 attended. Two of the leading gubernatorial candidates, Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman and businessman Doug Robinson, came to speak to the group, along with Republicans Nancy Sharpe, Arapahoe County commissioner (also representing her precinct), and Toren Mushovic, candidate for Colorado House District 3. Greenwood Village Mayor Ron Rakowsky and his better half, Dr. Margaret Rakowsky, recently retired associate professor of chemistry at the Air Force Academy, attended their precinct caucus. Selection of delegates to the county, state and congressional assemblies was made that evening, by and from those who came to caucus. Candidates who don’t petition onto the primary ballot, will be chosen by the delegates at
BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER The precinct caucuses held March 6 were the first steps in Colorado political parties nominating county and state candidates for elective office in the November election. GOP County Chairman Rich Sokol has scheduled the dates and places for the Arapahoe GOP events that include nominations for Congress, and state and county elective positions. The first countywide event will be the Arapahoe County assembly Saturday, March 24, at the county fairgrounds, 25690 E. Quincy Ave., with credentialing beginning at 8 a.m. and gavel at 9:30 a.m. The Republican State Assembly will be held at the University of Co. Coors Event Center on Sat., April 14 with many delegates elected at precinct caucuses along with county bonus members. There are two congressional district nominating events taking place in Arapahoe County for District 1, the incumbent seat, held by Diana DeGette who represents portions of the county including
the party assemblies. Attorney General Cynthia Coffman is seeking the governorship through nomination by the vote of the Republican state assembly. At least one precinct voted to recommend to the Colorado legislature that it adopt a resolution making the rounds in the country, for a constitutional convention, under Article V of the Constitution. As of six months ago, 27 states had passed this resolution, which doesn’t require a governor’s signature; 34 states are required to move the process forward. This effort is being made to address specific issues: the imposition of fiscal restraints on and limitation of powers of the federal government, and term limits for members of Congress. The Villager would like to recognize Cherry Creek High School graduate and Villanova freshman swimmer J.J. Strain, who attended his precinct caucus with his father, Dr. John Strain, in 2016 as a brand-new voter, and again in 2018, while on his college spring break. An independent thinker, we’ll probably hear his name again in the future.
portions of Englewood and Cherry Hills Village. This democratic event will be held at Englewood high school, 3800 S. Logan St. on March 31 starting at 9 a.m. The 6th district congressional seat is held by incumbent Mike Coffman and that event will be held Saturday, April 7 at 1 p.m. at Hinckley High School, 1250 Chambers Road in Aurora. There is one primary challenger candidate for this event. There will be a third congressional district event with Ken Buck, who represents District 4. The time and place not announced yet. There will be a Colorado House event for state representative nominations for district 56 currently held by Phil Covarrubias (R) on April 7, at 9 a.m. at the Strasburg Parks and Recreation bldg., legion hall, 56423 Westview Ave. in Strasburg. A Colorado House District 9 nominating event will take place at the home of Wanda Newman, 3401 S. Dahlia St. in Denver, represented by incumbent Paul Rosenthal (D) for Democratic voters.

According to legend, if anyone keeps an eye fixed upon the leprechaun, he cannot escape; the moment the eye is withdrawn, he vanishes. In 1959, Walt Disney released a film called Darby O’Gill & the Little People, which introduced America to a cheerful, friendly leprechaun more like the Keebler elf, a purely American invention that has become an easily recognizable symbol of both St. Patrick’s Day and Ireland.

n March 17, most Americans proudly wear green, even those lacking an ancestral connection to the Emerald Isle. The holiday is celebrated with gusto in the U.S. partly because America’s Irish population is the one of the country’s largest ethnic groups, second only to the Germans. (For reasons likely dating back to World War I, Oktoberfest never caught on quite like St. Patrick’s Day.) The first St. Patrick’s Day Irish-Americans number Vintage St. Patricks Day Greetings bear parade took place in New more than 34 million, more the image of the patron saint of Ireland York City on March 17, 1766, than eight times the modest 4 as well as the shamrock. and consisted mostly of a million souls who still reside contingent of Irish soldiers. across the sea. If the ScotsIrish and the Anglo-Irish are included, the numbers go Today, the parade is traditional in many cities, with the largest celebrations held in Chicago, Savannah even higher. and New York City, respectively. Americans love St. Patrick’s Day parades, shamThe town of Leadville has an interesting custom of rocks, great music and green beer, but the details of the holiday are sometimes a little foggy. Here’s a brief holding a St. Patrick’s Day Practice Parade in September, with bagpipers and Irish dancers led by a bright look at St. Patrick’s Day symbols and traditions, and green fire truck. It’s a sight to behold. how they all began. The patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick was originally a Welshman named Maewyn, born sometime around 375 A.D. Although both parents were Roman Catholic, Patrick admitted to being a heathen until age 16, when a group of marauders kidnapped him and took him back to Ireland. During the next six years of slavery, Patrick spent a lot of time alone and finally saw the light. After escaping to Gaul (France), he joined a monastery and determined to convert the green isle to Christianity. He became Ireland’s second bishop; an apparent charmer who won converts by the score and traveled through the countryside founding monasteries, schools and churches. By the time he died on March 17, 461 (or thereabouts), he had converted Ireland to Christianity. Although Patrick has been credited with driving the snakes out of Ireland, the country was never troubled by this particular reptile. The legend likely refers to the serpent symbol of the pagan Druids. St. Patrick used the threeleafed shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity, telling his flock how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day.
Very few St. Patrick’s Day celebrations go by without someone bursting into that great Irish-American song, O Danny Boy, leaving not a dry eye in the house. Actually, an Englishman, Frederick Weatherly, published the song in 1913, using an old Irish aire, Londonderry Air. Popularized by Irish-American vaudevillians, the tune became an Irish favorite, often sung at funerals. Although some maintain the song deals with a father watching his son go off to war or leave the country during the famine, publisher’s notes reveal that, as many of us suspected all along, it’s actually about a woman bidding farewell to her lover. A term believed to have originated in the United States, black Irish commonly refers to dark brown or black hair appearing in persons of Irish descent in contrast to the blond, light brown or red hair color usually ascribed to the Irish. According to a recent Irish study, dark hair is common in Ireland: more than 40 percent of the population have dark brown hair, 35 percent have medium brown hair and another 3 percent have black hair.
Americans may think four-leaf clovers are synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day, but that’s not the case. The Holy Trinity symbolism of the three-leaf variety makes it the preferred St. Patricks shamrock.
The bluestone block called Blarney Stone was set into the battlements of the Cormac castle in 1446. Kissing the stone supposedly endows one with “the gift of gab.” The word, “blarney,” may have originated in the 16th century, during the reign of England’s Elizabeth I. The Queen wanted all the Irish lords to swear allegiance to her, but Cormac McDermot MacCarthy, chieftain of Blarney Castle in County Cork, avoided commitment by flattering and placating Elizabeth. She finally declared in frustration: “This is all Blarney!” Anyone who wants to kiss the blarney stone (or at least give it a big hug) need not go to Ireland. Fitzgeralds Casino in Black Hawk has its very own blarney stone, and visitors are invited to drop by and pay their respects.
Leprechauns are “fairy folk” who usually take the
On St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland, the traditional fare was Irish bacon and cabbage. Irish-American immigrants found bacon too expensive and substituted the less costly corned beef. Beer has always been an Irish favorite, although, no true Irishman would sully his stout with green coloring. This is strictly an American invention. A sturdy reliable walking cane made out of Irish blackthorn, the shillelagh’s sturdiness and resistance to warping, chipping or discoloration made it a favorite of Europeans.
The basis of this relatively recent practice is both religious and political: Irish Protestants, mostly in Northern Ireland, wear orange on St. Patrick’s Day and Catholics wear green. Ever since the Protestant King William of Orange (III) took the throne of Britain in 1690, Protestant Irish have been known as “Orangemen.”

Kirkland Museum of fine & decorative art Golden-clad $22 million museum welcomes visitors to its new Golden Triangle home
Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art opened its highly anticipated new building at 1201 Bannock Street to the public March 10. Kirkland Museum’s new building, clad in wonderful shades of golden terra cotta and glass tiles in Denver’s Golden Triangle Creative District, is only steps away from the Denver Art Museum and Clyfford Still Museum. “Our new location offers far greater visibility for the museum’s three collections—international decorative art, Colorado and regional art, and the work of Vance Kirkland—which will complement the collections of the museums nearby and make it even more convenient for art lovers to experience all the internationally important artwork Denver offers in the Golden Triangle,” says Hugh Grant, Kirkland Museum’s founding director and curator. All three collections are displayed chronologically in salon style, allowing visitors to time travel as they walk through the new building. The museum has acquired a number of stunning new pieces in each of the three collection areas that were unveiled last week. Kirkland Museum features an inaugural exhibition of 19th and 20th century American prints, Prints Near and Far: Contrasting Regional and National Prints from the Kirkland and Mayer Collections, in the new exhibition space through June 17. Kirkland Museum’s original location in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, at the site of Vance Kirkland’s historic studio and art school, opened in 2003 but outgrew that space due to increased attendance and expanded art holdings. In 2016 the three-room studio building was detached from the original museum, moved eight blocks to the Golden Triangle and placed on the north side of the new building. “The prestige Vance Kirkland’s studio and art school carries for the reputation of Colorado art makes the building itself an integral part of the visitor experience. Moving the building to keep that experience intact was central to the museum relocation,” says Grant. Merle Chambers, co-founder of Kirkland Museum, provided the inspiration to move the Kirkland studio building to the new site in the Golden Triangle. Kirkland Museum features three principal collections including displays of over 150 years of Colorado art and almost 150 years of decorative art. The museum is recognized as having one of the most important displays of international decorative art in North America with examples of every major design period from Arts & Crafts through Postmodern. The Colorado and regional art collection shows the span of local art history from 1845 through the 1990s. Painter Vance Kirkland (1904–1981) was among the most important Colorado and regional

painters of the 20th century; a retrospective of his work is shown in the new building with the Colorado and decorative art in salon style. Jim Olson, FAIA, founding principal and owner of Seattlebased Olson Kundig, designed the new museum; Kirsten R. Murray, FAIA, a principal and owner of Olson Kundig, served as the managing principal of the project. Hugh Grant, founding director
and curator, stated, “In addition to museums and cultural facilities, Olson Kundig is known for designing extraordinary residences that contain significant art collections. Because Kirkland Museum is displayed salon-style with the feeling of being in a home, Jim’s design sensibility was a good fit.” Jim Olson’s recent projects include the JW Marriott Los Cabos Beach Resort and Spa (Puerto Los Cabos, Baja, Mexico), Washington State

Museum hours are Tuesday– Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday noon to 5 p.m. General admission is $10. Due to the fragile nature of the collections and the popular
but vulnerable salon style in which they are displayed, Kirkland Museum limits all visitors to those age 13 and older. Paid parking is available in the lot behind the museum, accessible from the alley between Bannock and Cherokee. Museum patrons receive a discount on parking with validated admission ticket.

Someren Glen Transitional Care rehab center opens in Centennial Demand for rehab and physical therapy services on the rise as Baby Boomers age
Christian Living Communities (CLC), a local not-for-profit that owns and manages senior living communities and services in metro Denver and the mountain region, has announced the opening of the Someren Glen Transitional Care Neighborhood Feb. 5. The state-of-the-art rehab center is tailored to assist seniors to recover quickly from illness, surgery or accident and transition back home. “Our market research shows
a need for more rehabilitation services in south metro Denver, so we built this more than $3 million, state-of-the-art neighborhood at our Someren Glen Life Plan Community, located in Centennial,” said Cindy Hogan, vice-president of operations. Located at 5000 E. Arapahoe Rd., the rehab center features 18 large, private suites and an entryway separate from the retirement community.

The center’s rehab and skilled nursing services include cardiac
care, orthopedic surgery recovery, stroke and neurologic injury recovery, wound care and accident as well as illness recovery. It boasts a multi-disciplinary, seven-member therapy team offering physical, occupational and speech therapy on-site. Outpatient rehabilitation services are also available to anyone in the surrounding community with a doctor’s prescription.

Dear Interested, Historically, if an owner of Selling a life insurance a life insurance policy decided policy, even a term life policy they no longer needed it, they that you don’t want or need would either let the policy any longer – a transaction lapse or turn it in for a meaknown as a “life settlement” – ger cash surrender value. But has become a popular option now, with the life settlement among retirees in recent years option, you can actually sell that could use some extra your policy for more than the
cash surrender value would be, but less than its net death benefit. Once you sell it, the life settlement company then becomes the new owner of the policy, pays the future premiums and collects the death benefit. How much money you can expect to get with a life settlement will depend on your age, health and life expectancy, the type of insurance policy, the premium costs and the cash value of your policy. You may be able to receive four to eight times more than the policy cash surrender value. If you’re interested in a life settlement here are some things you should know: Shop around: Because payout can vary, to ensure you get the best price for your
policy get quotes from several companies. Also, find out what broker and transaction fees you’ll be required to pay. Coventry, the nation’s first and largest provider of life settlements, offers some of the highest cash payouts for life insurance policies. To get started, visit CoventryDirect. com or call 888-858-9344. To search for other providers or brokers, the Life Insurance Settlement Association provides a directory at LISA.org. Be prudent: Life settlements are regulated in most states. Find out from your state insurance commissioner (see NAIC.org for contact information) if the life settlement company you’re interested in is properly licensed. Protect your privacy: When you sell your life insurance policy, you will have to sign a waiver authorizing the release of medical and other personal information so that the buyer can determine how much to offer for your policy. Before accepting any offer, make sure that the company has procedures in place to protect the confidentiality of your information. Understand the tax implications: The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act recently updated the
tax treatment of a life settlement to be treated the same as the surrender of a policy back to the insurance company. This can be complicated, so be sure to consult a tax advisor.
Other Options
If you want to keep your life insurance policy but could use some extra cash, you may have some other options. For example, some life settlement companies may allow you to keep part of the policy’s death benefit while eliminating your premium obligations. You can also ask your life insurer if you can borrow against your policy, or if you’re in poor health, see if you’re eligible for accelerated death benefits. You should also find out if you’re able to convert the cash value of your policy into an immediate annuity (through a 1035 Exchange), which would make regular payments to you for a set number of years or for the rest of your life. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Applications for big game licenses now available
Applications are now open for limited 2018 big game, sheep and mountain goat hunting licenses. Colorado Parks and Wildlife encourages all hunters to prepare and apply early for this year’s license draw. This will be the first big game draw process conducted in the new CPW integrated purchasing system, which means there are some significant changes for sportsmen and women this year. One major change is that paper applications are no longer accepted; all applications must be done online or over the phone. Additionally, payment in full is no longer required at the time of application in 2018. Hunters will be responsible only for their application fees and a $10 habitat stamp when applying. The cost of any licenses will not be charged until a hunter is selected in the draw. Finally, updates to our purchasing system no longer require unique emails for every account, allowing families to use the same email address for all purchases. This also means email is no longer a unique identifier for logging into the system; prepare to have your CID number, driver’s license number or other information handy for logging in. The deadline to apply for limited licenses is April 3.

Preparing garden beds for spring and beyond
Gardening enthusiasts may have been thinking about their landscape plans throughout the winter, eager to once again get their hands dirty with soil. Whether a home gardener is making preparations for edible crops or beautiful flowers, he or she must take time to make the soil amenable to planting. To establish hearty, durable plants, gardeners can focus on three main areas: addressing soil composition, cultivating and adding nutrients.
ners, the most important step to developing good roots is preparing the soil. Take a sample of the soil and examine it to see what is present. If the soil is too full of clay, too sandy, too dense, or too loose, that can lead to problems where plants cannot grow in strong. Work with a garden center to add the right soil amendments to make a rich soil. This may include organic compost or manure, which will also add nutrients to the soil.
Soil composition
Cultivation
Many gardeners prefer growing a variety of plants in their gardens. Such an approach requires taking inventory of the type of soil in one’s garden and making the necessary modifications so that the types of vegetables, herbs, shrubs, or flowers that will be planted can grow in strongly. In fact, according to the plant company Proven Win-
Cultivating the soil can involve different steps. Removal of weeds, errant rocks, roots, and other items will help prepare the soil. Mother Earth News suggests working on garden soil when the soil is damp but never wet; otherwise, garden soil can become messy and clumpy. Use a digging fork or shovel
to lightly turn the soil when it’s mostly dry. Gentle tillings also can open up the soil to incorporate the nutritional amendments and relieve compaction that likely occurred from freezing temps and snow pressure. Tilling also helps with drainage and oxygen delivery to roots. The DIY Network suggests turning over soil at a depth of 12 inches to work the soil — about the length of a shovel spade. However, the resource Earth Easy says that existing garden beds have a complex soil ecosystem and simply top-dressing with compost or manure can be enough preparation for planting. Gardeners can experiment with the methods that work best for their gardens.
Nutrition
Testing the pH and the levels of certain nutrients in the soil, namely nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, will give gar-
deners an idea of other soil additions that may be needed. Soils with a pH below 6.2 often can benefit from the addition of lime several weeks before planting. Soil tests will determine just how much fertilizer to add to the soil. Complete fertilizers will have equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Individual fertilizers can amend the soil with only these nutritional elements that are needed. Top-dressing empty beds with a layer of mulch or compost can prevent weed growth and preserve moisture until it is time to plant. If existing shrubs or plants are in garden beds, use more care so as not to disturb roots or dig too deeply. Preparing garden beds takes some effort initially, but can be well worth the work when plants flourish throughout the growing season.

Wish Night helps Make-A-Wish Colorado Make Wishes Come True Colorado Children Annual Fundraising Event Raises $220,000
Make-A-Wish Colorado will be able to grant the wishes of more than 20 critically ill children thanks to the nearly 400 patrons who attended the 2018 Wish Night on Feb. 23 at the Hyatt Regency Convention Center. The annual event raised about $220,000, which will help the nonprofit brighten the lives of children between the ages of 2 ½ and 18 across Colorado who are battling critical illnesses. The average cash cost of granting a wish is $7,500. Dubbed “A Night Among the Stars,” Wish Night’s real stars were the talented wish kids who entertained the audience with musical and dance performances. Thirteen-year-old Logan, who had been granted a personal recording studio by Make-A-Wish Colorado, warmed up the crowd by playing keyboard while his sister sang during the cocktail reception. Later, the duo captured the audience’s attention from the stage with their beautiful rendition of “A Million Dreams” from the Hugh Jackman blockbuster, The Greatest Showman. Amber, another 13-year-old wish kid, brought everyone to their feet with her powerful performance of Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song.” The crowd was mesmerized by a progressive dance number performed by four high school students and led by 17-year-old wish kid Becca, who is only allowed to be off her feeding tube for two hours a day and utilized those hours to practice the dance. Eighteen-year-old Kenna, rounded out the performances by wish kids as she sang “You Found Me” alongside The Fray’s co-founders, Joe King and Isaac Slade. The entertainment concluded with an intimate performance by King and Slade which included some of The Fray’s top hits, as well as music from King’s new project, Union Moon. Eight-year-old Gabby, who is battling leukemia and recently was granted her wish to be famous, stole the show as an assistant mistress of ceremonies and model during the live auction, which featured an array of popular items, including luxury vacations, Mile High stadium seats and a signed snowboard and the bib worn by gold medalist Shaun White while qualifying for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games. According to Cory Tipton, Make-A-Wish Colorado board chair, the attendees were particularly touched by the chance to interact with wish kids. Said Tipton, “Everyone here wants to bring some joy to these brave children who are fighting horrible medical problems. To see the kids so happy and pursuing their passions is incredibly uplifting.”

Degas: A Passion for Perfection at the art museum
In its sole American appearance, Degas: A Passion for Perfection at the Denver Art Museum (DAM) showcases more than 100 works, dating from 1855 to 1906, by prolific French artist Edgar Degas. The paintings, drawings, pastels, etchings, monotypes and sculptures—including well-known masterpieces— focus on the most prominent and recurring themes throughout Degas’ career. These include his interest in learning from both the art of the past and that of his contemporaries, a lifelong fascination with the nude, a passion for horses and a strong interest in opera and
dance. Visitors can follow Degas’ transformation from a portraitist and painter of historical subjects to one interested in the contemporary life of late 19th-century Paris. By experimenting constantly throughout his career Degas developed techniques that allowed him to capture modern subject matter such as café concerts, street scenes with new electric lamps, sporting events and theatrical settings through sharp and precise lighting. Additional works on view by J.A.D. Ingres, Eugène Delacroix and Paul Cézanne add depth to the exhibition’s narrative.

2018 Toyota Corolla XSE is a bargain buy 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT is sporty BY H. THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST Cheap doesn’t always mean cheap, inexpensive doesn’t always mean that a product isn’t a bargain. Such is the case with the 2018 Toyota Corolla XSE that has a suggested retail price of $22,730. With extra options like premium audio, performance exhaust, and rear sway-bar, with delivery costs, the price climbs to $25,337. Still a bargain for such a versatile and all-around sedan. The popular Corolla is assembled in Ontario, Canada before making an entry into the United States. The president is pondering putting on an import tax in attempts to bring car manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. Toyota is one company that is building more plants in the United States. Toyota has just announced that it has developed a new continuous variable transmission, six-speed manual transmission, 2-0-liter engine, 2-0 hybrid system, and 4-WD systems aimed at making even-better cars. The present transmissions found in their cars are the best in the business with the variable speed and mode selections. The transmissions really outstanding for Colorado roads and mountain driving. The
four-wheel drive would be a welcome improvement on Corolla models. The Corolla test car made its way too many events around the Metro area this past week. Smaller in size, but mighty with acceleration and handling, this is a gem as an all-around car. The 1.8L engine, with the variable transmission and sport’s car mode, makes it a high-performer while achieving an average fuel economy of 31 mpg in town and a whopping 35 miles per gallon on the freeways. There is something to be said about cars that are smaller, nimble to drive, and easy to park. This Corolla is all of the above and makes for the perfect working car. Hands-free phone, GPS, full navigation components, all controlled from the eight-way power seat. This car has all of the Toyota safety features that include pedestrian detection,
lane departure alert, and the complete Star safety system, including all-around fourwheel disk brakes, and SST for smart stop technology that prevents the car from striking a frontal object. This is really a great new feature with so many controls now on center screens and dash consoles causing rear-end collisions. The heated front seats feel good on cold mornings along with the leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters. Toyota must consider this car a higher performance model with these features. This blue crush metallic car is a winner all the way and is affordable quality in motion. Corolla is a leading seller for Toyota North America reporting February sales of 182,195 vehicles, that is an increase of 4.5 percent over 2017. Strong sales number for strong cars that are affordable right down to the Corolla bargain.
BY H. THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST I haven’t test driven many Hyundai vehicles and I looked forward to driving the 2018 Elantra GT sport model. My first impression was the snappy appearance and design of this vehicle. Korean cars have been sweeping the U.S. auto markets with great success. This model is entirely assembled in Ulsan, Korea. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $23,250, which includes a significant list of features. Moving past the impressive appearance the Elantra GT is a sport’s model with a six-speed stick-shift with a turbo-charged 201 horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The engine and manual transmission match well and the transmission is smooth and easy to shift. Low gear is low, and the best drive resulted in moving up six-gear speeds rapidly. There are real issues with stick shifts in Denver metro traffic. This GT sports model is made for performance and using the turbo features with the stick shift. This is for younger drivers who like the thrill of power, gears and performance. I much prefer an automatic transmission because of traffic. It is also harder to drive a stick shift vehicle. The driver must make sure the car is in neutral, depress the clutch, and then push the start button. The next step is to release the parking mechanism that keeps the car from rolling away in neutral. I found this control to be cumbersome and annoying to have to put a foot on the brake to enter park or release the park/brake mechanism. Just give me the handbrake lever found in many smaller cars by the driver’s right-hand
seat. My suggestion to Hyundai is to redesign the brake/park mechanism, save money and just have a lever/ brake control. This system is hard to describe and harder to manipulate in the drive. All of the other controls were easy to use, simple radio band control for the FM, AM and Satellite radio stations. An excellent heater and heated front seats, steering wheel and outside mirrors. The car comes from Korea where we saw the harsh winter conditions from the Olympic Games and this car is well equipped for cold weather. The stick shift is also good for driving thru heavy snows with power in those lower gears, and the ability to rock out of snow banks, something that most hybrids flunk. The drive is snappy, the ride is firm with a stiffer suspension system, and the car fun to drive, but more demanding. The rear window has a wiper blade and a spoiler mounted on the rear trunk. The trunk won’t open with the engine running that was awkward and annoying for quick stops. Start motor again and go back thru park sequence once more that is a waste of time and effort. Hyundai is generous with their warranty of 10 years/or100,000-mile powertrain warranty. This vehicle has many high-end features with a low-end price.

San Fran. Made popular by the movie, the second generation Dodge Charger was introduced for wide production in 1968. Ford reintroduced the 2008 Bullitt after the Mustang’s revival in 2005. The Bullitt’s design was modified to mirror the classic ’68 shape featured in the movie. As in 1968, the car was stripped of badging, scoops and spoilers. The only location on the car boasting the name of this beast is the faux gas cap on the trunk. This limited production run was only available in 2008 and 2009. Images of window stickers have been popping up on the internet for a 2018 Mustang Bullitt, getting enthusiasts all excited; however, Ford denies the rumors.
