As several students as well asfaculty members at FRCC couldrecollect, the intersection of Harmony Road and Shields Streetis typically congested and hasdelays on a daily basis. The road project is located on the north-west side of the Front Rangecampus. Scott McKelvey, thedirector of Facility Services, has
 been the “go
-
to” guy on campusconcerning this project. “The real
meat of the construction has been
 pretty good,” stated McKelvey.
 The widening of HarmonyRoad will take place from MasonStreet all the way to SenecaStreet. There are four lanes on therest of Harmony Road, so this isthe final stage of the HarmonyRoad widening project. Therewill not be any night constructionduring this project. The hours of operation will be Mondaythrough Friday between the hoursof 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. There is a possibility for construction to occur on Saturdays if the construc-tion crews have problems with weather throughout the week.Although the development may be potentially inconvenientto students, the contractors have estimated that the expansionwill be completely finished by the end of August. FRCC has notreceived any complaints concerning the construction project thusfar, only broad questions about it.As of March 12, the project had only begun four days prior.
McKelvey said that there were “no real setbacks so far.”Both parking lot exits on FRCC‟s campus will not be closed
during any point in the construction, which is beneficial for allwho commute to the campus. Having both exits open throughoutthe construction, students should not notice any major trafficdelays.Supervisor of the Department of Public Safety on campus,
Gordon Goldsmith, believes that “[the construction] is not goingto affect us as much as it will the neighborhoods.”

How could this have happened? A mangled, first-generationToyota 4Runner rests on a trailer in front of Blanca Peak in earlyMarch, the remains of a 1980s masterpiece of engineering andmachinery destroyed by three college students who decided thatdrinking, abusing illegal substances, and driving were a goodmixture. Many of us have heard the stories, but seeing thedamage first-hand threw into sharp perspective what drivingunder the influence can do. Onlookers gaze in wonder as they tryto take in the scale of destruction and horror that soon followedafter the SUV was found. The three boys died from their injuries, becoming another statistic in the pages of history.

Excerpted from an April 10 memo by Dr. Nancy McCallin, president of the Colorado Community College System:
[T]he Joint Budget Committee of the General Assembly initially cut higher education by $153 million, of which the community colleges would have had a $30 million cut. On April 1, the committee cut anadditional $300 million from higher education, which resulted in another $61 million cut to community
colleges, [which then totaled] $91 million in cuts for us for next year’s budget.
This represents a 63 percent
cut to the community colleges’ budgets.
 [On April 9], the Colorado Senate passed a bill that would allow the state to acquire $500 million from the
reserves of Pinnacol Assurance, the entity that is required to provide workers’ compensation insurance to
 businesses if those businesses so choose and do not want or cannot get insurance from any otherprovider. The Senate then proposed to use $300 million of the $500 million to restore higher educationfunding. Thus, community colleges would go back to the $30 million cut initially proposed. Even thoughthe higher education budget was restored for $300 million of the $453 million cut, we remain concerned because this funding is one-time funding and will not help in future years. We will be in the same situationone year from now of trying to find $300 million to support higher education because of the one-timenature of the funding. In addition, there are threats of lawsuits regarding this money. Thus,we are unsureif and when these funds would come to the state to restore higher education funding and we know that thefunds will not continue to be available in fiscal year 2010-2011.The budget bill was then preliminarily passed in the Senate with this proposal in it. The bill [faced] its finalvote in the Senate on [April 13] and [will] then be sent to the State House of Representatives forconsideration. The bill must pass both the Senate and the House and then be signed by Governor Ritterto become law.
