2 THE POCONO TIMES

The Monroe County Bar Foundation (MCBF) recently donating nearly $110,000 to nonprofit organizations across the region.

The recipients — Pocono Alliance, Pocono Family YMCA, Developmental Education Services of Monroe County, Women’s Resources of Monroe County, Monroe County Special Olympics of Pennsylvania, The Valor Clinic Foundation, Monroe County Historical Association, Monroe County Habit for Humanity, Monroe County Meals on Wheels, Center for Vision Loss Monroe County and Pocono Services for Families and Children Monroe County Head Start — plan to use the funds to assist Monroe County youth.

Pocono Alliance president Linda Rice said the organization plans to “reach more children” with early childhood screenings.

Anna Underwood said Monroe County Historical Association’s purchase of a microfilm machine will open doors to educational opportunities for the young and young at heart.

Monroe County Head Start executive director Tim Lee of Pocono Services for Families and Children said MCBF has made a five-year commitment totaling $50,000.

“It was their [MCBF] trust in the project that provided significant leverage and kicked off other support,” he explained,

adding, “It showed their [MCBF] commitment to this community.”

“As the giving arm of the Monroe County Bar Association, the foundation tries to do as much as we can for the citizens of Monroe County,” explained MCBF Chair William Reaser.

2017 Hyundai Elantra Eco Entry Price: $20,650 Price as Tested: $21,610 This week, we’re driving what is surely going to be a big seller at Hyundai showrooms, namely the 2017 Hyundai Elantra Eco. The Eco is a new Elantra entry for 2017 that takes direct aim at consumers who want 40-plus highway MPG coupled with a price that won’t break the bank.

This newly designed Elantra actually starts as low as $17,150 for the non Eco manual transmission SE and goes as high as $27,500 for an option-loaded Limited Edition model.

Specifically, when you see a brand new Hyundai with a final out the door price of just $21,610, one expects perhaps good fuel mileage but not much more. Performance wise, it’s probably going to be a slow-accelerating little car that, well, is good mostly for cruising at highway speeds once you get there. As for topflight safety and creature comforts, don’t expect much more than the mandated necessities.

Wrong on all counts.

Under the hood sits the all-new Eco specific 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 128-horsepower and an impressive 156 lb. feet of torque. Not only will this engine break the tires loose from a standing start, it will deliver better than the listed 40-mpg EPA number on the window sticker and give at least 32-mpg in the city, too. A recent 220-mile trip on secondary roads ended up at 40.6-mpg average on the odometer MPG indicator, a most impressive number. And what makes this even more interesting is the fact that we put the turbo 1.4 through several passing escapades, which thanks to the turbo was an easy task.

Now in its sixth-generation, Elantra has grown up into a mid-size dimension vehicle following its compact class debut in 1990. Back then Elantra rode on a 98.4-inch wheelbase while today’s Elantra travels on a 106-inch plus wheelbase and is more in line with mid-size ideology. It’s also one of the most popular consumer choices based on affordability, owner reliability and return on investment (ROI).

Add in the 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty and the fact that the Elantra is built in Montgomery, Alabama, by an American workforce, few cars out there can sway current and prospective consumers any better. So if low cost, good performance and excellent fuel mileage are your top three demands, the Elantra Eco could well be your car.

The transmission in the Eco is also different than the other Elantras as a seven-speed Shift-

ronic dual clutch automatic helps the highway and city fuel mileage numbers. This special dual clutch automatic is Eco specific while the other Elantras that come with the bigger 2.0-liter fuel injected engine rely on a six speed automatic or six speed manual.

Elantra Eco’s new aerodynamic exterior and revamped interior are both impressive, although the interior is void of some amenities you find in more expensive Elantras. However, even though our tester came with not one option (because none are available), all passengers never felt the Eco meant a stripped down car.

Included are all the powers, easy to operate and circular knob controlled stereo system with seven-inch touchscreen, SiriusXM Satellite, cruise, push button start, dual zone air conditioning, Apple, Bluetooth and Android connect features and even a hands-free trunk open feature.

Safety features are top notch, as Eco features everything that makes a car safer in our modern day era. Included are all of the electronic stability and traction controls, seven airbags, four wheel ABS brakes, rear view safety camera, blind spot detection, rear cross traffic, lane change alert all at no extra cost. Your Hyundai dealer will explain everything in detail.

Underneath, Hyundai tweaks Elantra’s independent suspension to allow better handling characteristics, especially in tighter turns.

Elantra incorporates the industry standard coil over MacPherson front struts and a rear coupled torsion beam setup. Overall, it allows very good handling when united with the special Hankook “Kinergy” easy-roll (less roll resistance) 15inch tires on nice alloy wheels.

Important numbers include a wheelbase of 106.3 inches, 5.3 inch ground clearance, 2,857 lb. curb weight, 14.4 cu. ft. of cargo space, 14 gallon fuel tank and 23.8 ft. turning radius.

In summary, it’s difficult not to recommend the 2017 Hyundai Elantra Eco as perhaps one of the best buys of the new model year. For a retail of just $21,610 there’s little reason not to park this fuel efficient, fine driving, peppy little car in your driveway.

We’ve many times in this column heralded the important ROI properties of buying a new car. This all-new Elantra Eco may be the best car out there that delivers more MPG than listed, added turbo power and impressive design aesthetics while keeping the price at an amazing minimum.

Yes, I would own one.

Likes: Unreal performance, outstanding MPG, new design.

Dislikes: Drum rear brakes, not much else.

in julienne strips Pinch of nutmeg In a large skillet, bring about 1/2inch water to a simmer. Add butter or margarine; heat until it melts. Add sweet potatoes and parsnips. Cover and cook over medium-high heat 2 minutes. Remove cover; cook about 2 minutes longer until tender. Sprinkle with nutmeg before serving. Yield: 8 servings.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS 3 cups cake flour (not self-rising) 2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons vegetable shortening 1 cup buttermilk Into a large bowl, measure cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir until combined. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until evenly combined.

Add buttermilk to flour mixture and mix together with hand just until dough forms. (Do not over mix or biscuits will be tough.) On lightly floured board, pat dough into 7-inch square. Cut dough into 4 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 4 pieces to make 16 biscuits. Place biscuits on large ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 400º for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly golden. Serve biscuits warm or cool on wire rack to serve later. Reheat before serving, if desired. (These are extra-tender because they’re made with cake flour.) Yield: 16 biscuits.

Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping; pour into cooled, prepared crust.

Spread remaining whipped topping over filling; sprinkle with reserved 2 tablespoons crumbs. Refrigerate at least 4 to 5 hours before serving. Store in refrigerator. Yield: 8 servings.

When somewhat fluffy, gradually add the maple syrup. Add salt, then flour, 1/2 cup at a time. If the mixture starts to clump too much in the beaters, switch to a wooden spoon. Mix in nuts. Divide dough into quarters. Shape each quarter into a log about 2 inches in diameter and 4-1/2 inches long. Wrap each log in plastic wrap; chill 3 hours. Preheat oven to 300°.

Cut each log of chilled dough crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 20 minutes or until light golden. Remove to wire rack. Cool. Yield: 6 dozen.

“KAIdOKU”

SUDOKU!

Each of the 26 letters of the alphabet is represented in this grid by a number between 1 and 26. Using letter frequency, word-pattern recognition, and the numbers as your guides, fill in the grid with well-known English words (HINT: since a Q is always followed by a U, try hunting down the Q first).

Only lowercase, unhyphenated words are allowed in kaidoku, so you won’t see anything like STOCKHOLM or LONG-LOST in here (but you might see AFGHAN, since it has an uncapitalized meaning, too).
