2 THE POCONO TIMES

Well-known disability figure Mark E. Smith will be the special guest speaker at the April Showers Ball on Friday, April 28, at the Stroudsmoor Country Inn. The April Showers Ball brings together local community and business partners, supporters and partner agencies to celebrate the achievements of individuals with disabilities in the workplace.

The event is also a key fundraiser for the Stroudsburg-based nonprofit organization which provides training and employment services to more than 100 individuals with disabilities.

Smith, recognized for his success as a public speaker, advocate and author, serves as a general manager for Pride Mobility Products Corp. and Quantum Rehab, which

designs, develops and manufactures mobility products and complex rehab technology. Smith has authored 5 books and is the founding editor of WheelchairJunkie.com, a lecturer, husband and father of two daughters. He defied the odds — being born with severe cerebral palsy, a childhood fragmented by alcoholism, divorce, incarceration and suicide — and transformed his life.

Following Smith’s address, two Burnley Employment and Rehab Services employees will be recognized for their accomplishments over the past year. The guests of honor will be Sandra Deibler of East Stroudsburg, workshop employee of the year and Brian Oney of East Stroudsburg, community employee of the year.

The black-tie optional dinner and auction is sponsored by Super Heat Inc., Mattioli Foundation, Stroudsburg Eye Specialists, Lehigh Valley Health – Pocono, Adams Outdoor Advertising, Quantum Rehab, HD Smith, the Farda Family, PNC, Tom and Chris Pugh, Pocono Health System, HD Smith and Vigon International, Channel 13, and the Pocono Times.

2017 GMC Acadia AWD Entry Price: $29,070 Price as Tested: $52,185 It’s the all-new 2017 GMC Acadia we’re driving this week, arriving in Denali dress with AWD underpinnings. Following nine years of successful first generation sales, GMC designers came up with this new midsize design that is way different from the previous and larger GMC Acadia.

Specifically, 2017 GMC Acadia is shorter in wheelbase, smaller in height and a bit narrower when compared to full-size 2016.

Although there are some sacrifices made mostly in cargo room, the new Acadia delivers better fuel mileage, still roomy first and second row surroundings and a more car-like ride. Acadia’s third row seating best accommodates children and pets, similar to most every mid-size SUVs on the market today.

And speaking of children, GMC has a unique “check rear seat” chime indicator that reminds the driver to make sure the rear seat doesn’t include a sleeping child. It also alerts when the second-row doors are open before the vehicle is started. (Well done GMC).

Acadia for 2017 is 700 pounds lighter than last year, accomplished mostly by a reduction in wheelbase from 2016’s 118.9-inches to 2017’s 112.5-inches. This wheelbase number is exactly the same as smaller brother GMC Terrain, although both are built at different locations (Terrain is built in Canada, Acadia in Tennessee) allowing both a notable touch of GMC autonomy.

Although some may feel the new “smaller Acadia” is a move backward, readers are assured that other than wheelbase and some driveline similarities, the Acadia is larger in length than Terrain and does retain an “Acadia specific” motif that is most pleasing to the eye. Matter of fact, when it comes to sharing platform time, it’s the new Cadillac XT5 SUV that shares Acadia platform time and some mechanicals, not the five-passenger GMC Terrain.

And how strong is the consumer demand for the these new mid size GM SUVs? Come January of 2017, GM is adding a third shift at the Spring Hill, Tenn., plant to boost both Cadillac and GMC production. This move will add 650 jobs to the manufacturing facility.

New for the 2017 Acadia are connectivity touches for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto,

more built-in safety features and exclusive continuous variable ride control. Throw in both four cylinder and V6 power choices and this new Acadia is ready for any road you point it at, including limited off-road fun. The enhanced GMC driver safety network comes thanks to cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors that make driving these modern GMCs so much safer than decades ago.

All of the AWD Acadia models come standard with a 310-horsepower 3.6-liter V6, which delivers great go-power and now, thanks to the lighter weight, improved EPA ratings of 18 city and 25 highway in AWD dress. (Two better in each category compared to last year). Combined with a trailer tow package that is a Denali standard feature, the V6 Acadia allows for a 4,000 lb. tow capacity, some 2,000 pounds more than the four-cylinder Acadia.

The entry Acadia LS model’s four-cylinder Ecotec produces 194-horses from a 2.5-liter design, pushing the expected EPA fuel mileage upwards to 21 city and 26 highway in front-drive form. Notable, too, is that all Acadia models rely on a proven six-speed automatic transmission. (If you don’t need 310 horses and the added towing capacity of the V6, test drive the four cylinder Acadia first).

To activate AWD, GMC Acadia still relies on a now outdated selectable knob called Traction Select for 2WD and 4WD footing.

Therefore, when it snows heavy, make sure you select 4WD before you start driving away.

Exterior features include nicely designed front and rear fascias, chrome accents, Denali’s noted dimensional front grille with the distinctive GMC red badge, wraparound HID headlamps, 20-inch tires on aluminum six spoke polished wheels, lots of luxury amenities and much more.

Inside, Acadia Denali’s cabin features leather heated and ventilated seats, Bose Premium eight-speaker stereo, eight inch display with navigation, 4G Wi-Fi, automatic climate control, power lift gate, Sirius/XM, USB, Bluetooth and much more. A recommended $1,345 Technology package adds adaptive cruise with full speed front automatic braking, collision preparation, and a surround vision camera system. Finishing off the options were a $1,400 Dual Skyscape Sunroof and a $1,200 Continuously Variable Chassis with real time damping.

Around Town Money for mammography

Wayne Memorial Hospital (WMH) and the AllOne Foundation celebrated their partnership with a check presentation ceremony at the Foundation’s headquarters in Wilkes Barre recently. Wayne Memorial received a $200,000 grant from the AllOne Foundation for a mobile mammography program, specifically for “vehicle adaptation and implementation strategy for the delivery of mammography services via a telemedicine system in a mobile van.”

Wayne Memorial grants and development manager Jack Dennis noted the AllOne Foundation grant closes “the funding gap” behind the launch of the mobile mammography program. The program also received a USDA Rural Utilities Service telemedicine grant for $175,000 toward the purchase of the mobile mammography system; and the hospital’s auxiliary also raised $100,000

toward the purchase of the mobile van for the program.

Dennis now anticipates the services will be operational by the fall of this year. Wayne Memorial Hospital (WMH) hopes to offer mobile mammography throughout its service area, but especially to very rural areas where access to healthcare poses challenges for women in need of mammography screenings. The AllOne Foundation serves 13 counties in northeastern and north central Pennsylvania. For more information, visit allonefoundations.org.

Dislikes: Higher end models expensive, third row access cumbersome.

GMC Acadia pricing allows most all potential consumers a wide range to work with.

SUDOKU!

“GrEATEr-ThAN SUdOKU”

For this “Greater-Than Sudoku,” I’m not giving you ANY numbers to start off with! Adjoining squares in the grid’s 3x3 boxes have a greater-than sign (>) telling you which of the two numbers in those squares is larger.

Fill in every square with a number from 1–9 using the greater-than signs as a guide. When you’re done, as in a normal Sudoku, every row, column, and 3x3 box will contain the numbers 1–9 exactly one time. (Solving hint: try to look for the 1s and 9s in each box first, then move on to the 2s and 8s, and so on).
