Kia continues to make strides inthe market relevance and value of their vehicles and the new Forte SX

is a fair example of that progress.It provides the looks, performanceand technology of other small sedanscosting much more.

With a base price of $18,195 theForte SX comes standard with a 2.4-liter, 16-valve engine that delivers173 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 168lb.-ft. of torque at 4.000 rpm.

The power plant is coupled toa five-speed automatic transmissionconnected to a sport tuned suspen-sion maneuvered by rack and pin-ion steering and riding on 17-inchwheels.

The car features up-to-date elec-tronics such as anti-lock, assisted and

force distributing brake systems, aswell as stability and traction control.Did we say it starts at $18K?

Inside the car is comfortable andinviting with no feeling of inexpen-sive or bargain basement materials.Remember what the cheaper cars 30years ago were like?

The Forte has a more than ade-quate stereo, six speakers, Bluetoothconnectivity, auxiliary and USBinputs, plus three months of Siriusradio standard.

In short it has most of the featuresand amenities you’ve come to expect,like cruise control, in a less expensiveyet still attractive and fun to drive

vehicle. In addition it even includes

less common niceties like fog lampsat its price point.

So basically we liked the car, butthat’s not all we like. The 2010 KiaForte comes with a 10-year, 100,000mile warranty and 6-year, 60,000 mileroadside assistance package. In aneconomy car this is a rarely provided

benefit.Further the commuter gets 23-mpg

in town and 31-mpg on the road soyou don’t have to decide whetheryou can afford to drive to the big-boxstore to save $7 on a purchase.

The Forte barely misses aSmartWay designation with a 7 rat-ing on greenhouse gasses and a 5 onparticulates.

Though this model has not beentested by SaferCar.gov, the four doormodel received five stars for frontal

and driver’s side impacts. It got fourstars for rear passenger side impactsand rollovers.

The Forte we drove had $1,600in options, which added leather seattrim and heated front seats plus apower sunroof. These options arevery conducive to the Colorado life-style and still brought the total pricewith destination charges to only$20,490.

In conclusion, this is a great car forsomeone who needs an economicalcommuter, but is not ready to foregostyle and performance to achieve thatend.

Dining Detective: Top Chef

Last month Top Chef, The Tour,stopped in Denver. I found myself doing a little Top Chef Geek happy-dance when I was lucky enough tosecure four tickets. I’d like to sharesome of my experiences, getting back to regular reviews next month.

This Tour was for the fans, acelebration and fan “thank you”, giv-ing us an opportunity to meet “Chef-testants” and taste someof the food we haveonly been able to droolover while watching theshow. Sure, the brightorange bus drivingcross-country probably drew atten-tion too, but the actual stops catered(literally and figuratively) to the fans.

As the Tour travels acrossAmerica they bring two former chef-testants to each location.Chefs take turns presentingone-hour presentations with

the other acting as sous chef.The Denver stop featuredRichard Blais and RyanScott, both chef-testantsduring season four. Blais,known for his explorationsin molecular gastronomy, wasvery funny! He is an excel-lent speaker and banteredwell with the audience. RyanScott, who was ousted fromthe show for trying to add class to afootball tailgate party (pumpkin risot-to and poached pears were thought a

bit highbrow), was very genuine andcharming. He was quite chatty withus later, too, offering his personal

email so that he could recommendsome of his favorite San Franciscorestaurants.

Blais was the head-chef forour demonstration. He gave us a brief tutorial on Colorado lamb, declaringthis to be the best tasting lamb in theworld. It has a mild flavor and is notnearly as gamey as that coming fromother states or even New Zealand.Richard advocates a cooking styleknows as sous zide. This is a slow-cooking process that locks food andseasonings in a vacuum seal bag andslowly cooks it in a controlled hotwater bath. All juices are retained andno oils or fats are introduced. Oncethe meat is removed from its bag, itis seared in olive oil to give color andcrispness. The result is an evenlycooked item of consistent color andtemperature from edge to edge.

Blais also served a lima beanconcoction that bares explanation. He

suggests that whenpreparing somethingsimple, like beans, youcan add gusto with aquick visit to the olive bar at WholeFoods. There you will find not onlyolives, but peppers, onions, and other

items that have been marinated to var-ious degrees of spice. Richard chosesome roasted red peppers that were

very hot, chopped a few,and mixed them withlima beans. He addeda pickled onion and fin-ished the plate with adollop of yogurt foam.

Now before you go “eww” let meexplain. I know that many people donot care for the froth of foamed foods,

but in this instance it was a very attrac-tive plating device that added texture

and height. As soon as it istouched, foam will start toreconstitute to its original

form, becoming a coolingyogurt sauce.

This dish was fabu-lous! As Blais declared, hewants his food to provide a“flavor bomb” that makesyour eyes pop and yourmind whirl. He succeed-ed.

As the food was beingprepared and tasted, the

two chefs quipped about the show.Here is one behind-the-scenes enlight-enment: the judges’ table portion,which is 15 minutes on air, takesapproximately eight hours to com-plete! The chef-testants stand answer-

ing questions for hours, and then sitin the holding room while the judgesdeliberate for even more hours. Theonly thing they can do is drink, talk,and goof around. This is where mostof the drama happens. By the timethey are standing in front of the judgesfor the final outcome, they are usuallyvery tired, well lubricated, and pre-pared for anything.

The event ended with anopportunity to have your picturetaken at the judges table with Tom andPadma cut-outs, book signings by thechefs, and a few other games. Overallit was a wonderful morning. Keepyour eyes and ears open, it seems theywill come through Denver every twoyears on a regular basis.

Eliza GrahamNorth Denver Notions

Training and racing triath-lon requires a lot of perspective.Perspective about the type of shapeyou are in, what part of the racingseason you are in, who the com-petition is, where you’re startingfrom, what yourgoals are… on alarger scale it kindof sounds like lifeitself. So much isrelative, so muchdepends on other factors, extenuat-ing circumstances can make or break a race or a life experience… Keepingperspective on all the smaller ele-ments that make up the whole can be challenging, and it can be tempt-ing to beat yourself up when thingsdon’t go as you wish.

My first race of the season, whichI mentioned in last month’s article,was in the middle of May. I knewthis first race was going to tell me alot about all of the above. My good-luck pelicans were there, but myhoped-for 80-degree day was not.

In fact, the day of the Barkin’Dog Duathlon dawned frigid. Fuh-reezing. By race start it had warmedright up to 42 degrees, and the windwas just starting to kick up. The firstrun leg of the race was a typical fast-out-of-the-barn for everyone. Some

ladies in my age groupthat didn’t look like theyshould be in front of me…were. I kept looking at myGarmin though, and I was right onpace, so I didn’t worry about it. It’s

a long race.By the time I got

on the bike it wasmaybe 44 degrees,and the wind washowling. Blowin’

like stink, one could say, and I spenta lot of energy just staying uprighton the bike. The first loop of the34k ride was uneventful. The sec-ond loop of the bike, still fighting

horrible wind, something happenedthat is very new for me: I starteddropping people. In my years of racing, the bike has always been ahuge struggle. I have always reliedon my run in a race, never my bike.I passed some people who’d dustedme on the first run, and never sawthem again. I was shocked.

The second run in a duathlon isreally just a suffer-fest all about whocan hurt more. I was slooooowwwin that second run. It hurt. It waswindy, it was still cold, I was not yetin any kind of shape to win a sufferfest. And I did not. The second runwas just a little reminder that I can’t

Perspective:

in multi-sport

and life

think and wish myself into shape. Ittakes more than a month.

The result of the day was I took eighth in my age group. That putme into a bit of a funk for a coupleof hours after the race. I don’t likeeighth. After talking to my coachthough, I stopped pouting andgained some perspective on the day,on my race, on where I should bethis time of year, and thus on me in

general…My goal had been to run sub-8-minute miles for both runs. I achievedthat in the first run leg. I did not inthe second run leg. I was dreaminga bit thinking I would run sub-8sfor both legs for so early in the year.Also, shoot… I had to remember thefact that I was sick all winter and hadexactly one month of training in mylegs. The good news about this racewas my bike. Typically my weakestevent, although the bike is where tri-athlon and duathlon is usually won,with screaming headwinds and coldlegs, I averaged 18.5 mph this race.Yay! I certainly plan on getting faster

as the season progresses, but for thefirst race, coming off a couch-potatowinter, I’m actually kind of besidemyself with that time.

The life lesson learned from multi-sport in this case is easy: you’vegot to keep your race and your lifein perspective. Consider where youstarted, consider where you are now,celebrate the small goals, revel in theunexpected good stuff.

With that vantage point on myfirst race result, I have now set somegoals for the rest of the season. I’m alittle wary about putting myself outthere and getting these in print, buthere goes.

With my A-races and main focus

being on Olympic-distance triathlon,I want to swim 1500 meters in 24minutes. I’ve done that time oncein a race. I would like to do it inseveral races. I want to average 20mph on the bike over 40k (about 25miles), and average sub-8-minutemiles in the 10k of the Olympic-distance triathlon. In a perfect worldI would actually string those threegoals together in the same race. And

finally, I would like to qualify forTriathlon Nationals in Septemberthis year.

These are tough goals, and CoachEddie agrees they are challenging, but he also thinks they are doable.So while I need to retain perspectiveabout what is physically possible forme (for example, I will never be fastenough or young enough again torace in the elite division), it’s okayto set some goals that will makeme stretch out of my comfort zone.Again.

Eliza is writing a series of articles onthe triathlon life. You can contact her [email protected].

Understanding Roth 401(k) plans

key to sound retirement decisionsBy Jason Alderman

Ever since Individual RetirementAccounts were introduced in the1970s, the numbers of tax-advantagedretirement savings options – and par-ticipants – have continued to grow.

One relatively new alternative that'sgaining popularity is the Roth 401(k)plan.

401(k)s are retirement savingsplans set up by employers that allowemployees to save for their retirementthrough automatic payroll deduc-tions. As its name suggests, the Roth401(k) combines features of a tradi-tional 401(k) with those of a Roth IRA.Employers increasingly have begunoffering Roth alternatives, so it's wiseto understand how they work in caseyou are given the option.

In a traditional 401(k) plan, employ-ee contributions are usually madeon a pretax basis; that is, deducted

from your pay before federal and stateincome taxes are calculated. This low-ers your taxable income and there-fore, your taxes. You don't pay taxeson these savings or their investmentearnings until they're withdrawn –usually after retirement.

With a Roth 401(k) you contributeafter-tax dollars. Although you don'tget an upfront tax break, your accountgrows tax-free and withdrawals aren'tlater taxed, provided you've had theaccount at least five years and are age59 ½ or older – or have become dis-abled or die.

A few things to remember:The combined 2010 annual limit

for employee 401(k) contributions– whether regular and/or Roth – is$16,500 ($22,000 if over 50).

Roth 401(k) contributions cannotlater be converted moved into a regu-lar 401(k), or vice versa.

Before age 59 ½, all 401(k) with-drawals, whether Roth or regular, may be subject to a 10 percent early with-drawal penalty on the taxable amount.Exceptions may be made for deathor disability, catastrophic medical

expenses, first-time homebuyer loansand being 55 or older at retirement or job termination. See IRS Publication575 for details (www.irs.gov).

With either type of 401(k), youmust begin taking mandatory mini-mum distributions from your accountafter you turn 70 ½, just as you mustwith a regular IRA. However, you canavoid mandatory withdrawals by con-verting your Roth 401(k) into a RothIRA, which has no such requirement.You can also convert a pretax 401(k)into a regular IRA and then into aRoth IRA; but you must pay tax on theconverted amount, just as you wouldwith any regular 401(k) withdrawal.

Many people wrestle between Rothand regular 401(k) contributions. Afew considerations:

Will your tax rate be higher nowor at retirement? Those in their peak earning years may have a higher mar-ginal tax rate currently than at retire-ment, whereas those just beginningtheir careers may see their rates riseover time.

Many financial experts think futureincome tax rates will likely climb dueto federal budget deficits and increas-ing demands on Social Security andMedicare.

Consider where you'll retire, asmany states have low or non-existent

income tax. When it's not clear whichtype of 401(k) – or IRA – is best fortheir particular situation, some peoplediversify their retirement savings bycontributing to both a Roth and aregular 401(k).

It’s on the extreme western edge of the state. From Gateway Colorado youhave to drive 50 miles to the north orsouth to even find a highway goingwest out here.

If you take the long way fromMontrose, you will travel through the

beautifully scenic country betweenRidgeway and Placerville on Hwy 62,then traverse the pastoral serenity of the Uncompaghre Plateau on Hwy 145 before crossing Colorado’s historic ura-nium mining country on Hwy 141 andfinally driving through the majesticvistas of the Dolores River Canyon.

The canyon is cut from the red sand-stone strata stretching from WesternKansas through Red Rocks, Gardenof the Gods and Roxborough Park allthe way to Bryce Canyon in Utah. Thewinding curves of the Dolores haveturned this into a wonderland of reveal-ing turns and breathtaking scenery. Notonly that, there’s never a rush hour in

Dolores Canyon. When we were thereat the first of the month, we virtuallyhad the highway to ourselves.

This is a road made for a responsive,exhilarating automobile and a distin-guished array of just such vehiclesawait in the Gateway Auto Museum– a loving look back at America’s affair

with the horseless carriage – exquisiteexamples of the cars that won ourhearts, warmed our souls and carriedus across this incredible nation.

The museum is the creation of John Hendricks, the man behind theDiscovery Channel. Many of the vehi-cles are from his personal collection.They are immaculate and for the mostpart still functional.

The museum is divided into erasand the first is titled Mass Mobility,which has notable examples of theearliest autos in the American line.One of these is the 1912 Ford ModelT Speedster, a racy looking antiquesports car that’s not what the phrase

by Don Bain

Dog Sitting in Private and Loving Host Family Homes

Model T brings to mind – a hint of things to come.

Also within this gallery is the opu-lent and legendary 1913 Pierce-ArrowModel 38C Brougham. A remarkableportent of the luxury the cars of thefuture were soon to provide.

You will also see one of the earlyCadillacs, a 1906 M Coupe which wasone of the first enclosed cabs. The turn-of-the-century interior lights and otherdetails of the carriage-like vehicle areintriguing indeed.

The next gallery is called HollywoodHigh Style – 1930’s and in it you willfind some of the dream cars only moviestars could afford during the GreatDepression. The 1932 Auburn 8-100ASpeedster will surely catch your eye.It’s sweeping fender curves, ornatetwo-tone paint, chrome accents, leatherinterior, fender mounted spare, strapon side view mirror, winged angelhood ornament and exposed hornsmake this an outstanding example of 1930’s lavishness.

The 1936 Auburn 8-852 SuperchargedCabriolet was design by E. L. Cord andwas one of the fastest stock cars of the era, breaking 70 speed records atBonneville during 1937. Cord how-ever was under investigation for stock manipulation and fraud so only 1,844of the vehicles were ever built.

Also of note are the 1939 MercurySport Convertible and the 1930Duesenberg Model J TransformableCabriolet. The latter could be completeenclosed, an open driver town caror a fully uncovered touring car. TheDuesenberg, incidentally, coined thephrase, “It’s a doosie!”

The Timeline Gallery capturesthe evolution of the automobile fromthe 1928 Cadillac Sport PhaetonConvertible to the 1961 Chrysler 300GConvertible Coupe.

In this group you’ll find the 1937Hudson Terraplane Convertible Coupe

with its wheel skirts, jacketed wheel-mounted spare, plus a unique hoodornament and turn signals made itstand out in its time. It still does.

Other notable vehicles include the1947 Chrysler Town and Country Two-Door Convertible and the 1941 LincolnContinental Coupe with its boxy curvesand styling similar to a Bentley. Thenthere’s the 1950 Packard Super EightVictoria Convertible Coupe, a 1953Cadillac El Dorado Convertible andthe 1957 Mercury Turnpike CruiserTwo-Door Convertible, which thanksto its 290 bhp, 368 cubic inch V8 waspicked as the Official Pace Car of theIndianapolis 500 that year. It is here

complete with race day markings.Many visitors, especially Boomers,

will be taken by the Muscle CarCollection. This includes the 1967 FordMustang Shelby GT 500, 1968 ChevroletCamaro SS/RS Convertible, a 1970Plymouth Barracuda “Hemi” Cuda,a vintage 1971 Pontiac GTO JudgeCoupe, the legendary 1971 Oldsmobile4-4-2 Two-Door Convertible and the1981 Pontiac Trans Am, The BanditSpecial Edition.

Muscle car fans worshipped thesepowerful vehicles that reigned supremeon the streets and stock car tracks inthe halcyon days of cheap and plenti-ful fuel.

Perhaps the crown jewel of the col-lection is the 1954 Harley Earl designedOldsmobile F-88 Concept Car, whichHendricks bought at the prestigiousBarrett-Jackson Auto Auction inScottsdale for a staggering $3.24 mil-lion. It is the only one of its kind still inexistence out of only two, maybe three,which were built.

This automobile still looks goodtoday and was years ahead of its time.It was meant to be Oldsmobile’s answerto the Chevy Corvette but never wentinto production. It is displayed here inits own showroom on a revolving stagethat shows every inch of its remarkablytimeless design It is only dated by theunusual row of small fins, which adornthe rear bumper and hide the spare tirestorage.

As you first enter the museum youwill see the progressively styled post-war 1948 Studebaker Commander,which stood out among the other man-ufacturers’ offerings of the day, whowere still selling prewar models gus-sied up and warmed over.

You will also find a 1933 PlymouthVintage Race Car there which has aninteresting story to go with it. It seemsthe vehicle, built on a Dodge Pickupchassis, was entered in the Pikes Peak

Hill Climb in 2008 and on the way upthe fuel pump failed. As it turned out,this pump model was in use for Dodgepickups well into the ’60s, so theypicked up a replacement at the localNAPA and continued the race.

So if and when you find yourself on the West Slope, remember there’san automotive wonderland waiting foryou at the Gateway Auto Museum andgetting there is half the fun.

The Gateway Auto Museum is openTuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m.to 5 p.m. daily. For more informationcall 970-931-2895 or visit gatewayauto-museum.com.

Over the past 13 years Father GabrielM. Weber, O.S.M. has touched many heartsand souls at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel inNorth Denver. Now a semi-retired help-er in residence, FatherWeber will reach the61st anniversary of hisordainment into theOrder of Servants of Mary, which took placeMay 15, 1949.

Though as a young boy he also dreamed of being a pilot and archi-tect, he heard the callof the church at a veryearly age.

“It was the day after my first HolyCommunion,” Father Weber said. “I waskneeling at the altar, waiting for commu-nion when I heard a voice within me say ‘Iwant you to be a priest.”

It was that clear, so he believed it to be the voice of the Lord. He was six yearsold.

“There were eight of us in the family,six boys and two girls,” he said. “My fatherwas very close to the church and motherwas helping to do things as well. Momarranged the flowers on the altar usuallyand she taught me how to do it too. We’dtake fresh flowers from the neighborhoodand arrange them. We were a little countrychurch in Portland, Ore. Now it’s partof the big city of Portland. We all went toMass every Sunday together while we weregrowing up. My older brother and I werealtar boys so our relationship with the par-ish was very strong.”

He joined the priesthood in Chicago,Ill. After eight years of seminary study, beginning with a postulancy and novitiateat Mt. St. Phillip Priory in Granville Center,Wis. from 1941 to 1943. He continued withstudies in philosophy at Mater DolorosaSeminary in Hillside, Ill. during 1943 to1945. He completed his schooling in theol-ogy at Our Lady of the Forest Seminary inLake Bluff, Ill.

He only really doubted his commitmentonce and it came one year before he gradu-ated seminary school.

“The last year I started wondering amI really supposed to be a priest? That wasthe devil’s temptation, I think. Fortunatelythere was another seminarian a year olderwho – every Sunday we had to walk fortwo hours – so I talked it over with himand he reassured me I should keep goingand not give up.”

As a priest, Father Weber’s greatest joyhas always come from serving Mass.

“To offer mass as a priest, that is a greatprivilege,” he said.

The only downside, if you can call itthat, is you have to be ready for the unex-pected.

“Every day of the year there’s somethingunexpected. Every daysomebody comes inand says, ‘Can I talk toyou for a few minutes?’and those minutes turninto hours. You get alot of unusual thingshere.”

That’s where thedevotion comes in. Apriest doesn’t get toclock out at 5 p.m. and

go home to his house in the suburbs.Service to the parish is unending and that’swhere true Christian love and tolerancecome into play.

That’s just the kind of service FatherWeber has delivered for 61 years and whyhe’s held in such high esteem by manymembers of the parish.

Most of that time has been spent inparish ministry and prayer, each day cel-ebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass andreciting the Divine Office or Liturgy of theHours.

“Over the years I have helped organizepilgrimages to Marian Shrines in some 27different countries. Incidentally, during mytime in the Air Force (as a Chaplain, 1958-64) I ministered in 30 countries – it wasgreat experience.”

He has ministered at St. John BerchmansParish in Detroit; Annunciata Parish inChicago, St. Philip Benizi Parish in Fullerton,Cali.; Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Motherin Portland; Our Lady of Belen Parish inNew Mex.; Assumption Parish in Welby,Colo. and St. Anthony Parish in Ottawa.

He also earned a BA from LoyolaUniversity in Chicago, a Masters inEducation from the University of Portlandand a Masters of Arts from the GraduateTheological Union in Berkeley.

He has taught at the Mater DolorosaMinor Seminary as well as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish. So for 61 years he’sdone all that in addition to a lifetime of prayer, baptisms, comforting the sorrow-ful, counseling the doubtful, warning thesinner, burying the dead, administering thesacraments of Eucahrist and Penance, spiri-tual and corporal works of mercy, givingsermons, writing letters and serving otherson the phone.

You’d think after accomplishing somuch Father Weber would have earned a break, but perhaps he says it best when hestates, “There’s no retiring from a life of prayer.”
