2 THE POCONO TIMES

More than 50 people turned out for a butterfly release and church service to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Wayne Memorial Hospice (WMH) and to remember loved ones. The 60 monarch butterflies, which had been in a kind of hibernation, gently attached themselves to people in the crowd (to their great delight) before “waking fully” and flying off. The butterfly release in Honesdale’s Central Park on June 3rd included a speech by WMH CEO David Hoff, who remarked upon the importance of the department in people’s lives. Hospice manager Lisa Greccom read a poem by Karon Shaffer

and Charlene Whitmore, with musical accompaniment by Honesdale High School student Jordan Pugh.

During a service afterwards in nearby Grace Episcopal Church, an “anointing of the hands” was offered by WMH chaplains, Rev. Maria McKiernan and Rev. William Rushik, while WMH chaplain Rev. Edward Erb played the church organ.

“It was a really nice service,” said one attendee, “and WMH Hospice offers a wonderful service at an important moment in the lives of many families — including my own.”

The butterflies, Grecco added, are symbolic.

“Around the world, the butterfly represents endurance, change, hope and life. Hospice is very much about this also.”

While the day’s events were all open to the public, the hospice team formally invited all the families it has served in the past decade and a half. For more information, call 570-253-8431.

texture and sweet edge that makes it softer than sauvignon blancs from other places in the world. $13. HHHH1/2.

Usually, Loire cabernet franc has no more than a hint of oak, and is lighter in body than most.

The juicy Domaine des Ruettes 2015 Samur Champigny smells like violets in a spring flower box with flavors of black fruits and a touch of licorice. This would pair well with most burgers and lighter red meat dishes, especially those that incorporate avocado or scallions or tomatillos. $11. HHHH. More often than not, Muscadet is a wine that you want to have with particular foods. People who enjoy lean, crackly whites may enjoy a cold Muscadet. But the characteristics — nutty, doughy, sometimes a touch oxidized, or showing character of salt or iodine — aren’t for everybody. For many, Muscadet calls out for suitable food.

The Muscadet region is embraced by the Atlantic Ocean, and the salt air makes its way into the wine, which is most classically paired with fresh oysters or anything else that lives on the ocean floor. Muscadet is often good at its ridiculously cheap prices but the more expensive ones can show special traits and even taste more like a Chardonnay.

Bedouet Vigneron Muscadet Sevre et Maine 2015 is minerally with hints of lemon and herb and a clean, lip-smacking finish. An alternate use for Muscadet may be as a light aperitif that cleans the palate and gets it ready for a meal. $9. HHH1/2.

At their reasonable prices, wines of Loire are worth checking out. Not mentioned here are the off-dry take on chenin blanc, often labeled under the region Vouvray, and their sparkling wines sold as Cremant de Loire.

Loire Valley is the classic runner up: overlooked, disregarded and somewhat offbeat.

Though vast and diverse, Loire may be the least known of France’s great wine regions.

In some ways, Loire has played pioneer as a homeland for sauvignon blanc, a variety that exploded into the wine world in the last generation. The region has been an inspiration, of sorts, for wine growers in the Eastern United States and cabernet franc. Loire’s subregions produce wine that is 100 percent cabernet franc, a red grape in many Bordeaux wines that tolerates cooler climates.

At the same time, Loire is idiosyncratic, making wine from grapes not much used elsewhere. Muscadet, Loire’s largest and most productive region, makes its crackly wine from a grape called melon that is not planted elsewhere.

One of Loire’s leading white wines is chenin blanc, a versatile, productive grape that has a presence, if little notoriety, globally.

Even in France, Loire is thought of more as the nation’s garden or cornucopia, recognized for its history and beauty before its wine.

The hilltop city of Loire Valley, Sancerre, is the best known region in Loire and considered a homeland of sauvignon blanc. These run a bit more expensive. However, Loire sauvignon blanc produced beyond Sancerre in places such as Rully, Pouilly-Fumé or Quincy stands well alongside Sancerre counterparts and is typically under $20.

I found several affordable Loire Valley sauvignon blanc as Chairman Selections in Pennsylvania. Often, the Loire labels refer to them simply as “sauvignon.” Fans of sauvignon blanc should give them a shot.

LaCrosse: completely redesigned

BY GREG ZYLA

Special to the Pocono Times

2017 Buick LaCrosse Entry Price: $32,065 Price as Tested: $48,395 This week, we’re driving the all new 2017 Buick LaCrosse, developed to deliver both the Buick heritage while wrapped in a modern high tech motif sure to please consumers of all ages. Arriving in 2009 as the top Buick model, more than 900,000 LaCrosse models have been sold as Buick now prepares for its “One Millionth” LaCrosse sale this year.

Specifically, Buick’s ability to attract sales from a diverse multi-demographic has been its secret to success, especially the last 10 years. Add the fact that Buick builds some of the best cars General Motors has to offer, and you have a recipe for continued sales success.

For 2017, the longer, lower and wider LaCrosse could well have been today’s modern day Park Avenue, Roadmaster or Electra 225 had Buick not strayed from its earlier flagship calling cards. As Buick Regal is the lone recognizable tie to the nameplate’s past, one can be assured of Buick quality throughout regardless of choice or modern name.

As for heritage, many car buffs may not know that of all the General Motors cars, Buick was its first. No, it wasn’t Chevrolet, Cadillac, Oldsmobile or Pontiac. It was Buick back in 1908 that set the stage for this worldwide popular GM brand.

Today, Buick continues to build many of the most satisfying cars, be it for U.S. consumers or for customers in China.

Check any of the consumer magazines and companies that give awards or recommendations like Consumer Reports magazine or JD Power, and you’ll find that the Buick brand has quite a successful legacy of consumer satisfaction.

The 2017 LaCrosse has been completely redesigned to offer those who still desire full size automobiles a smart choice, especially for the money spent. Granted, our LaCrosse Premium tester’s final price of $48,395 is by no means cheap, we remind Buick enthusiasts that the entry Buick LaCrosse starts at $32,065 and rides on pretty much the exact same mechanicals as the upper class LaCrosse Preferred, LaCrosse Essence and LaCrosse Premium.

Notable is our LaCrosse Premium, which starts at $41,065, came with a $1,625 optional sporty suspension system and 20-inch tires on aluminum wheels that really spruced up this Buick big time, both in looks and

handling. Keep in mind that this option also adds adaptive dampers in addition to the suspension enhancement, called Buick’s “HiPer Strut” front suspension. The package helps stop front drive torque steer under full acceleration and when in selectable Sport mode turns the LaCrosse cruiser into a great country road handler.

Additionally, LaCrosse Premium offers most of today’s modern safety enhancements as standard fare including teen driver monitoring, forward collision alert, rear cross traffic, lane keep assist, lane change alert with side blind zone and head up display. At this point, and for $1,690 more, I highly recommend the Driver Confidence Package that adds adaptive cruise with full speed range, automatic park assist, front automatic braking, and front pedestrian detection. A LaCrosse drawback is that the high tech safety items are not available on the entry model, although the backup safety camera and park assist is standard across the line.

Although featuring a wheelbase that is 2.7 inches longer than 2016, the new LaCrosse is some 300-pounds lighter than before.

Buick accomplished this by utilizing a stronger yet lighter build thanks to presshardened high energy steel. Buick engineers also worked on making this new LaCrosse the most sound absorbing of them all as the interior is quiet while driving and most inviting thanks to more amenities than ever.

Under the hood sits a powerful 3.6-liter V-6 engine that puts out 310 horses and 282 lb-ft of torque. It’s hooked to an 8-speed automatic transmission and will go from zero to 60 mph in just 5.9 seconds. As for fuel economy, the engine stop/start technology when sitting at a red light or stop sign coupled with cylinder deactivation to four cylinder power when cruising helps this big Buick deliver outstanding fuel mileage, with 21 city and 31 highway the EPA estimates.

The cabin is luxurious, as leather seating, wood trim and sculptured center console invite driver and passengers. An eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and 4G LTE are all standard, as are amenities like heated seats, heated steering wheel, and so much more. Overall, the LaCrosse Premium interior is beautiful and just a notch under top class Cadillac in comfort and presentation. (This is the way General Motors wants it.)

Other options on our test car included $1,550 for a panoramic sunroof with second row skylight and a rear power sunshade and

$1,145 for navigation and a Bose 11 speaker surround sound stereo system. The choice is yours when you visit your Buick dealer.

Important numbers include a wheelbase of 114.4 inches, 3,598 curb weight, 15 cubic feet of cargo space, 15.8-gallon fuel tank and a 38-foot turn radius. An AWD LaCrosse is available for about $2,200 more.

I really like the looks and mechanicals of the new full-size Buick LaCrosse, especially the water flow front grille, three faux vent badge on the front fenders and legendary Buick insignia. The Buick designers have a winner with this all-new LaCrosse, as they have successfully merged the past with the future in a model that is sure to spark sales in 2017.

Personally, I’m hoping for a 2018 LaCrosse Park Avenue edition because I think it sounds great and could easily be done with a luxury enhancement here and a badge there.

Likes: New design, more interior room, powerful V6, Buick birthright.

Dislikes: Many top safety features not available in entry model, gear shifter awkward.

SUDOKU!

“GrEATEr-ThAN SUdOK”

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 greaterthan 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).
