we need the young people.” Seated in the home of fellow LRA executive member Tim Belford last Friday, Pankovitch recalled the origins of the group as a quick-response team to matters with a potential impact on the community identity of those living in Lennoxville.Belford called the association an “eleventh hour” group, pointing out that in place of regular meetings or structure, the group has a community contact list that it draws on to rally its 1,100 members in times of need.Outside of those crisis meetings, the LRA’s activities consist of a quasi-monthly meeting of an executive group.It is in that group that the association finds itself wanting.“We started off with a committee of about 13, and that was whittled down to an executive of about seven,” Belfora said.“Because of the election we lost one of our executive, he’s now a borough councillor.The vice president had other responsibilities so she resigned, which brings us down to five people.” Though both Pankovitch and Belford said that their main interest is in getting more people involved in the group in general, they pointed out two main issues with the remaining executive.Cont’d on Page 3 ¦THE ¦ RECORD SPECIAL OFFER for Record print subscribers: Receive a full year’s subscription to the online edition for only $5 with every new 12 month print subscription or renewal.Read The Record online any time, any place Subscribers can view each new issue of The Record, as well as Brome County News, The Townships Outlet and our many special sections with just the click of the mouse.To subscribe, go to www.sherbrookerecord.com, click on e-dition and follow the simple instructions.For information or assistance call 819-569-9528 biHing@sherbrookerecord.com Page 2 Monday, October 20, 2014 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record The Record e-edition There for you 24-hours-a-day 7-days-a-week.Wherever you are.Access the full edition of The Sherbrooke Record as well as special editions and archives.Renew or take a new 12-month print subscription and get a 12-month online subscription for an additional $5 or purchase the online edition only for $82.21.Record subscription rates 1 year print: $155.91 6 month print: $81.85 3 month print: $41.57 12 month web only: $82.21 1 month web only: $7.46 Applicable taxes are added to above amounts.Web subscribers have access to the daily Record as well as archives and special editions.Subscribing is as easy as 1,2,3 when you go to www.awsom.ca Click Subscribe.Choose newspaper.Complete form and wait for an email activating your online subscription.Weather j o J i J D Ü jjjjj J i j TODAY: MAINLY CLOUDY HIGHS SUNRISE: 7:10 SUNSET: 5:54 TUESDAY: SHOWERS HIGHS LOW 2 WEDNESDAY: RAIN HIGH 6 LOWS THURSDAY: RAIN HIGH 10 LOW 4 FRIDAY: PERIODS OF RAIN HIGH 10 LOW 4 Instead of composting jack o’ lanterns, reuse in tasty pies or soup By Megan Cole The Canadian Press Victoria A different kind of pumpkin patch has grown along the streets and trails of Mount Douglas Park in Saanich, B.C.For the past five years residents have been dropping off their old jack-o’-lanterns after Halloween.According to Jason Fuller, operations manager at Ellice Recycling, nearly 500 pumpkins were collected last year from the Mount Doug Park and Parkway area during the first week of November.Ellice Recycle Ltd.provides the municipality of Saanich with a free disposal bin, and then Fuller says municipal workers collect the pumpkins and put them in the bin so they can be transported and composted.While the jack-o’-lantern cemetery in Saanich has been around for nearly half a decade, Frank Leonard, mayor of Saanich, says residents may have been inspired by a nearby community.“1 noticed about a year before it started in Saanich there was something similar happening up near Shawnigan Lake,” says Leonard.“People were leaving their pumpkins along the road just after Halloween, and a year later it popped up in Saanich.” Even though the municipality doesn’t officially condone the tradition, Leonard says he enjoys it.“It 's one of those nice populace, nongovernment initiatives,” he says.“I rather enjoy those.Sometimes there is too much structured play even as grownups.Just it being this community activity is actually quite wonderful." The municipality also encourages homeowners to participate in local campaigns that respond to disposing of old jack-o’-lanterns such as the Pumpkin Smash, organized by the Greater Victoria Compost Education Centre, which aims to have pumpkins composted rather than thrown in the landfill.For those looking to make use of their jack-o’-lantern at home, pastry chef Karine Moulin says why not bake with it?“The frugal side of me says absolutely use it up,” says Moulin of Hotel Arts in Calgary.“My only recommendation would be if someone had a jack-o’-lantern with a candle burning inside it, otherwise I’m absolutely in favour of using an old jack-o’-lantern.I would just cut out any of the pumpkin that was a bit dry.” Reusing an old pumpkin means recognizing it has a different flavour, and Moulin says roasting the pumpkin prior to pureeing it will intensify the flavour.“They have a different flavour,” she says.“It isn’t as pungent as a sugar pumpkin, so I find I have to add more spices to draw out that pumpkin flavour.It is a bit more muted.” Greg Hook, head chocolatier and owner of Vancouver’s Chocolate Arts, recommends cooking pureed pumpkin in a double boiler to gently heat it while also allowing the water to evaporate, which intensifies the flavour.“Everyone has their own pumpkin pie recipe, but something we do is once we have our puree we will mix in some milk chocolate,” says Hook.“What that does is applies a certain amount of richness to the pumpkin without detracting from the flavour.In a pumpkin pie we would add no more than 1.7 ounces to 3.5 ounces of milk chocolate.” Even though pumpkin is most commonly used in pies, Hook says once the pumpkin has been steamed and pureed, the options of what to do with it are endless.“Everyone does the ubiquitous pumpkin pie, but I’ve actually got two recipes, one is for an ice pumpkin terrine and the other is for a pumpkin chocolate mousse cake or for a pumpkin mouse,” says Hook.“We like to use it in anything where you can have sweetness, but that being said it can be used fora soup really well.One of the best sandwiches I have ever tasted was from a Trinidadian lady who served a roasted ham and pumpkin sandwich that blew my mind.It had really good Dijon mustard, and was really great.” 1‘Ellice t_____ _ THE CANADIAN PRESS/HANDOUT (EUICE RECYCLE LTD.)
