[" By Emilie Hackett Brome County News Peter Treacy suffered extensive third-degree burns and lost his leg following a tragic car accident in 1980.However, he did not let that define him.Treacy went on to inspire others and bring back joy into the lives of disabled Quebecers when he founded the Adaptive Sports Foundation (ASF) in 1995.What began as an adapted ski school at Owl\u2019s Head and counted five students and 10 volunteers quickly became one of the Eastern Townships\u2019 most revered organizations.Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, ASF encompasses over 200 volunteers and operates with several mobile units, allowing a multitude of disabled skiers to participate in the program.ASF also includes a winter camp for injured soldiers and a summer program where participants can do adapted waterskiing, tubing, canoeing, and kayaking.Originally from Pointe-Saint-Charles, Treacy moved to the Townships in 1974.He was first exposed to adapted skiing in the years after his accident in Morin Heights, where he took his family skiing.\u201cI thought I would never be able to ski with my children again,\u201d he told Holly Bailey for The Press Club 99.1 FM.After meeting a disabled skier who, just like him, had an amputated leg and was skiing on one ski and an outrigger, Treacy knew he had to try it too.The Knowlton resident eventually became the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing\u2019s (CADS) first certified adaptive ski instructor.After four years as an instructor in the Laurentians, Treacy realized that residents of the Townships needed to have this opportunity as well.With the help of his wife, Joan, he began mapping out the logistics for such a program in the region.There would be a heavy need for funding, as the equipment and specialized gear can be quite costly, and they would need to find a ski hill that would be willing to partner up and host the adaptive ski sessions.Fred and Lillian Korman, who opened the Owl\u2019s Head ski hill in 1965, were quickly convinced by Treacy\u2019s mission.\u201cWe are so thankful to have had the Kormans in our path.Their dedication showed that Owl\u2019s Head is a mountain that has heart,\u201d explained Treacy.He mentioned that since the change in ownership, the ASF has been just as well received.They started off with a snowmobile and a trailer they bought for $100 and Treacy borrowed $10,000 to buy other equipment.He recalled meeting with Sharon McCully, from the Record, in the first year of ASF, previously known as The Eastern Townships Disabled Skiers Program.\u201cSharon had done press conferences for us and had put big spreads in the Sherbrooke Record.She helped us so much from the first day on,\u201d he said.McCully later sent the article to a Bombardier representative who, moved by their mission, donated a Skidoo to the ASF.\u201cWe had enthusiastic volunteers from the beginning.When you give up your time for something this special, it gets to your heart.We didn\u2019t have a lot, but our students were so happy,\u201d T uesday , March 5, 2019 BromeCounty News CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 5 Todd Chabot Courtier Immobilier Real Estate Broker Mob: 450.577.1737 Ph: 450.538.4000 todd.chabot@remax-quebec.com PHOTO COURTESY DIDIER PRINCE Adaptive Sports Foundation: a tale of resilience, inclusion, and snow!

Submitted by Brome County Historical Society The Brome County Historical Society is fortunate to possess a large collection of medals of major historical importance.In the first of a two-part series exploring this collection, we examine the history of Philip Sydney Fisher\u2019s Order of Canada medal.Philip Sydney Fisher was born in 1896 to Roswell Corse Fisher and Mary Field Ritchie.As a young man, Fisher completed a B.A.at McGill University but abandoned his plans to complete a graduate degree with the outbreak of the Great War.Fisher traded academic robes for a flight suit and received a commission in the Royal Naval Air Service in 1915 with which he served until 1917 when a German fighter pilot\u2019s bullet wounded his left knee.After his return to Canada, Fisher inherited Alva House from his uncle, Sydney Arthur Fisher, in 1921 and became an adopted son of Brome County.When not at Alva House, Fisher lived in Montreal where he worked for the Southam Company - a media conglomerate controlled by the family of Fisher\u2019s father-in-law - eventually becoming President and then Chairman of the Board.For his contributions to publishing, Fisher received the Medal of Service of the Order of Canada in 1967.The medal in the BCHS\u2019s collection is not the one that Fisher received in 1967 but a replacement issued to Fisher in 1972.Until 1967, Canada relied on the British honours system but to mark the centennial of Confederation, Prime Minister Lester B.Pearson announced the establishment of a two-tiered Order of Canada.At the highest level were Companions of the Order while another level recognised significant national achievement with a Medal of Service.Fisher, alongside other Canadian greats such as George Randolph Pearkes, Wilfrid Pelletier, and Maurice Richard, was thus among the first cohort to receive the Medal of Service.However, in 1972, the Order of Canada was restructured into a three-tiered hierarchy as the previous structure was deemed unsuitable for the proper recognition of Canadians.Fisher was thus named an Officer of the Order of Canada and he traded in his Medal of Service for the medal in the collection of the BCHS.Fisher\u2019s medal highlights a landmark moment in Canadian history and of the trials that Canada faced in giving material expression to its national identity.In short, Fisher\u2019s medal speaks far beyond the three-word motto engraved on its face, \u201cDesiderantes meliorem patriam\u201d \u2014 \u201cThey desire a better country\u201d.BromeCountyNews T uesday , March 5, 2019 PAGE 3 Financial statements, Audit, Bookkeeping, Taxation, Corporations, Individuals, Estate planning and settlement, Farm and business transfers, re-organizations 127 Principale, Suite 105, Cowansville, QC, J2K1J3 duke-cpa.com T:(450) 263-4123 Fax: (450) 263-3489 CPA Inc.DUKE Société de comptables professionnels agréés Chartered professional accountants corporation The Million Dollar Walk!

Philip Sydney Fisher\u2019s Order of Canada medal BCN Staff The City of Cowansville is supporting an initiative by a citizen inviting local merchants to take part in the Circuit Zéro Déchet, where stores provide zero waste options to their customers.The Circuit Zero Déchet brings together Quebec merchants offering products without packaging or offering the possibility to their customers to bring their own containers in order to reduce non-reusable materials such as plastic and polystyrene, glass jars.Cloth bags and reusable containers are therefore prioritized for their multiple use.\u201cHaving the support of the City is a huge advantage for us\u201d commented Alexandra Lamontagne, who initiated the Cowansville Green Committee.\u201cIn addition to being able to reach more people, we can create a movement in Cowansville, which was our primary goal.We invite merchants who care about the environment to join the movement and register for the Circuit,\u201d she said.The Cowansville Green Committee will meet for the first time on March 14 in the Arthur-Fauteux room of the MRC at 7 p.m.An environmental consultation session for merchants will be held on Wednesday, March 13 at 7:30 a.m.at Cowansville City Hall.La Mie Bretonne Bakery was the only Cowansville business to be part of the Zero Waste circuit before the initiative began.Since then, La Goutte d\u2019Or, L\u2019Archipel, and CJ Maternité have also registered.All merchants participating in the Circuit can be found on an interactive map accessible at www.circuitzerodechet.com.Cowansville supports Zero Waste initiative Above, from left to right, Sarah Brandreth, owner La Goutte d\u2019Or, Arielle Prince-Ferron, manager of La Goutte d\u2019Or, Mayor Sylvie Beauregard, Annie Huard- Langlois, co-owner of La Mie Bretonne, CJ Maternité owner Catherine Lavallée, and and citizen Alexandra Lamontagne.PHOTO COURTESY VILLE DE COWANSVILLE PAGE 4 T uesday , March 5, 2019 BromeCountyNews 5-b VICTORIA ST., KNOWLTON, QUEBEC, J0E 1V0 TEL: (450) 242-1188 FAX: (450) 243-5155 Published weekly by 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, QUEBEC, J1M 2E2 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com website: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON MCCULLY PUBLISHER .(819) 569-6345 MATTHEW MCCULLY ASSOCIATE EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 NICOLE MARSH SECRETARY .(450) 242-1188 JESSE BRYANT ADVERTISING .(450) 242-1188 CIRCULATION Distributed to all Record subscribers every Tuesday as an insert, and to households and businesses in Abercorn, Bedford, Brigham, Brome, Bromont, Cowansville, East Farnham, Foster, Fulford, Knowlton (Brome Lake), Sutton, Bolton Centre, West Brome.The Record was founded on February 7, 1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.Canadian Publications Mail Service Product Agreement No.0479675.Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA BromeCounty News Established May 1991 RECORD THE OFFICE HOURS: MONDAY TO FRIDAY 9 A.M.TO NOON bcnnews@qc.aibn.com BCN RATES & DEADLINES COMMUNITY CALENDAR Brome County News Community Calendar is reserved for non-profit organizations only.Deadline is noon on Fridays.Must be pre-paid.Up to 40 words: $8, 41-70 words: $12, 71-100 words: $15, all prices include taxes.Special rates: $2 off for 2 insertions, 1 BCN and 1 in the Friday Record \u201cWhat\u2019s On\u201d section.Please forward notices to 5-b Victoria St., Knowlton, QC J0E 1V0, email: bcnnews@qc.aibn.com, or fax: (450) 243-5155.Visa and Mastercard accepted.Don\u2019t take your muscles for granted.Over 50,000 Canadians with muscular dystrophy take them very seriously.Learn more at muscle.ca It takes 11 muscles to read this ad.Pet of the Week: Mylo By Louise Smith The Congregation at Emmanuel United Church in Cowansville welcomed their minister back last Sunday from his vacation to Peru.He had a marvelous time in that historical and majestic country.He came home and now he is facing his move from the city, to Cowansville.That\u2019s a sure sign that he is staying awhile! To celebrate his return and to \u201cwarm up\u201d after a long, long winter, hot soup and bread and desserts were served up after church last Sunday.The homemade soups were delicious and all homemade.Rose Highfield made a Colombian bean soup, which was appropriate, as she has just recently returned from a two and a half month visit to her son in Colombia.Over 35 people stayed for lunch.There is a positive feeling in the faith community.The church will be busy over the next little while.There will be a St.Patrick\u2019s Day pancake luncheon on the Sunday, the 17th of March, from 11 am to 2 pm.There will be a two-day quilt show on April 5th and 6th and an art exhibit and sale by Nora Goyette\u2019s students on April 13th.This is a special year because it is celebrating the 175th anniversary of Emmanuel United Church.If anyone has photos or stories they can drop them off at the church office during business hours.We are trying to write up 175 short stories to commemorate this special year.A big celebration is planned for June 9th.Rev.David Lefneski returns as Emmanuel gears up for its 175th anniversary Rose Highfield served up a Colombian-style soup The soup luncheon was enjoyed by all PHOTOS BY LOUISE SMITH Hello! I am an 18-month-old young, happy gentleman, weigh 75-80 lbs, and my coat is a beautiful blend of black, brown and gold fur.I am happy, cheery and love to play with other dogs.Oh yes, I love people too! The people where I lived had too many dogs.You see, they had my mother and my father; then they had a litter; I guess my brothers and sisters went to homes (good ones I hope!) but a home was never found for me.I kept growing and growing and now they just find the three of us just too much! I wish people would think of all the pros and cons and possibilities BEFORE they let new dogs be born.Lots of \u2018leftovers from a litter\u2019 arrive at shelters constantly, either the entire litter, most of it, or just 1-2 leftovers, and we can be any age from 2 months old up!

www.spcamonteregie.com www.facebook.com/SPCAMonteregie recalled Treacy.As it gained traction, the foundation was able to purchase more equipment.Running solely on individual donations and sponsorships, its management cost is estimated around $300,000 a year.\u201cThe experience is honestly unbelievable.So many parents experience such a relief to see their children have so much fun,\u201d explained Treacy.He and his wife Joan would come home from the hill every day and talk about the wonderful scenes they had seen unfold that day.\u201cWe are so blessed.\u201d ASF does not only help disabled children, it also has several programs for adults.26-year-old Didier Prince\u2019s life was forever changed in August 2015 after a surfing accident in North Carolina.Fracturing three different vertebrae in his neck, he became tetraplegic and was confined to a wheelchair.\u201cI used to love skiing, it was definitely a passion for me,\u201d he explained.Prince learned about Adaptive Sports\u2019 skiing program two years ago while he was participating in the adaptive water- skiing program.He signed up for the following winter and now participates in four adaptive skiing sessions a year at Owl\u2019s Head.\u201cWe\u2019re assigned a volunteer coach who assists us throughout the session.In my case, he helps me steer, turn, and slow down.My disability is severe, so I ski sitting down on two skis.It\u2019s great to be able to go back outside, to reconnect with the outdoors and to be able to experience the gliding sensation that comes with skiing again,\u201d said the engineering student, who currently studies at the Université de Sherbrooke.Prince participated in his last session of the 2018-2019 winter season on Saturday.He is usually accompanied by several friends and family members.\u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful organization.There are so many fun and dedicated volunteers who help make the experience even better.\u201d Treacy, who handed on the torch to Steve Charbonneau in 2014, explained that the foundation attracts volunteers and participants from all over the province.Charbonneau is also hoping to expand across the province.\u201cThey went up to Shawinigan this weekend with a mobile team.Steve is also training volunteers all over Quebec.We have started to receive school groups, and we think it\u2019s so important that everyone is included.Last Friday, many school groups came to Owl\u2019s Head and about 12 kids with disabilities were able to ski thanks to our program.They had such a wonderful time.The challenge with being disabled is that there are a lot of activities we can\u2019t do, but this helps us feel part of the group and helps us live that thrill too,\u201d added Treacy.\u201cI\u2019ve met so many beautiful people along the way.I wouldn\u2019t wish my accident on my worst enemy, as I suffered tremendously with the burns.But it\u2019s the best thing that has ever happened to me.I would have never met all the wonderful people, the generous volunteers and the students that I\u2019ve met.Their courage is so remarkable,\u201d he commented.Treacy likes to recall his first encounter with the Vermette family.As they were on their way home from mass one Sunday, a driver in the opposite direction struck their car when he dropped his cellphone.The tragic accident led to their mother\u2019s death, while all three of her children, in the backseat, became paraplegic.The family enrolled the three children, who had spent the entire year in the hospital, in the monoski program, which required that special equipment be brought in from the United States.\u201cI took their father up in a snowmobile so he could watch his children ski down the trail, and he burst into tears.He told me it was the first time in a year he had seen his children laugh,\u201d explained Treacy.The ASF founder noted that the foundation works a bit like the human body: \u201cOur volunteers are the heart of the program.They do the heavy pumping and we could never work without them.Then we have our many generous donors.They\u2019re the bloodstream of the operation.They make sure that we have the power to do what we do.And then we finally have our board of directors, they\u2019re the brain.They make our vision come to life, they do the work to find financing, and they put us in the right direction.We need all three to work.\u201d \u201cWe are so incredible fortunate for the support we get from all over,\u201d said Treacy.Due to health reasons, his direct involvement at the ski hill has decreased over the years.\u201cI was able to go up three or four times this year, and it was so wonderful to see all the students and volunteers that I knew.Their smiles are amazing and the happiness it brings everyone is everything.Sometimes I think the volunteers enjoy themselves even more than the students do just because they feel the great joy they\u2019re experiencing,\u201d he noted.\u201cI\u2019m so glad to have Steve in charge now and I know he can take ASF to the next level so we can help more and more people.It\u2019s a wonderful feeling.\u201d The foundation has come a long way since its inauguration in 1995, going from 10 to 200 volunteers and expanding with an injured soldier winter camp and a summer adaptive sports program along the way.The Adaptive Sports Foundation symbolizes resilience, courage, inclusion, and perseverance, much in the spirit of its founder, Peter Treacy.BromeCountyNews T uesday , March 5, 2019 PAGE 5 PHOTO COURTESY DIDIER PRINCE PHOTO COURTESY DIDIER

The show is directed by Lucy Hoblyn and stars Sheila McManus and Ellyn Wiebe.As usual Lucy\u2019s plays are a family affair.Both of her parents are in it.Sarah is part of the amazing Septet who sing backup through the whole production.John is one of three Greek men (or Greek seers as Frank Johnston Main, another Greek man calls them).The Brown/Gauthier/Beaulne family is taking part as a whole which include first timer Alan Gauthier playing Harry.I love having first timers in the show.They are all so enthusiastic.They remind the rest of us why we do this.Carole Goulet, Sheila Quinn, Louise Gelinas, the Alexandre family (Dorothy, Brandon and Thomas) and Daniel Jannack are also newcomers to the Knowlton Players stage.We have six different choreographers contributing their individual styles to the show.Lucy\u2019s husband Danny is one of them.He had fun teaching teenagers how to fold sheets in one of his dances.Danny is also designing the set.It has to be compact to fit the 40 cast members on stage.Lucy has always loved Abba as many of her friends have seen on nights out at the pub or other get-togethers.An Abba song gets played and Lucy is always the first on her feet.It comes from watching Top of the Pops in England in the 70s.The irony is that her parents had never heard an Abba song before being cast in Mamma Mia.They had never even seen the movie version.Mamma Mia the movie is the highest grossing movie ever in England.ABBA\u2019s hits tell the hilarious story of a young woman\u2019s search for her birth father.This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise.On the eve of her wedding, a daughter\u2019s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother\u2019s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.The story-telling magic of ABBA\u2019s timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship, creating an unforgettable show.A large cast of community stars, non-stop laughs and explosive dance numbers combine to make Mamma Mia! a guaranteed smash hit.The show runs from March 28 through April 7.The evening shows start at 8 p.m.and the matinees at 2 p.m.https://knowltonmammamia.brown- papertickets.com Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 1-800-838-3006.For more information call Margot at 450 522- 2369.BromeCountyNews PAGE 6 T uesday , March 5, 2019 Mamma Mia, here the Knowlton Players go again My my, how can you resist them?PHOTOS BY BEN MCAULEY Sheila Quinn and Riley Jarand Ellyn Wiebe, Darleen Bell, Sheila McManus, Sheila Quinn with Riley Jarand in the background Bill Jarand with some of the cast members BromeCountyNews T uesday , March 5, 2019 PAGE 7 Ben in Focus BEN MCAULEY Have fun on the ice this March break!

Stir in mushrooms and cook until they have released their moisture, about 5 minutes.Stir in garlic and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.Stir in water, broth, and rice, scraping up any browned bits, and bring to boil.Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.Stir in chard, kale, and parsley, 1 handful at a time, until wilted and submerged in liquid.Return to simmer, cover, and cook until greens are tender, about 10 minutes.Off heat, stir in arugula until wilted.Working in batches, process soup in blender until smooth, about 1 minute.Return pureed soup to clean pot and season with salt and pepper to taste.Drizzle individual portions with lemon-tarragon yogurt, and serve.Nutrition information per serving: 152 calories; 52 calories from fat; 6 g fat (1 g

America\u2019S Test Kitchen There is something magical about this recipe, which coaxes the ultimate flavour out of just a few humble supermarket ingredients, turning them into a rich-tasting and well-balanced pasta dish that will have your family reaching for seconds.After browning the sausage, we sauteed a hefty amount of sliced onions, along with sliced fennel, which added texture and flavour to the dish.And while it may seem like a mistake to add an entire can of tomato paste and no other tomato product to make the sauce, the concentrated, bold flavour of the tomato paste intensified during cooking and added rich notes to the dish.To pull everything together, we added 2 cups of boiling water, simmering the mixture until thick.Sharp Pecorino cheese, added to the sausage- onion mixture, enriched the sauce by giving it a salty bite.Chopped fennel fronds added pleasant anise notes upon serving.ZITI WITH FENNEL AND ITALIAN SAUSAGE Servings: 4-6 Start to finish: 30 minutes 1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, casings removed 2 onions, halved and sliced thin 1 fennel bulb, fronds chopped, stalks discarded, bulb halved, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste 1 pound ziti Salt and pepper 1 ounce Pecorino Romano cheese, grated (1/2 cup), plus extra for serving Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot for pasta.Cook sausage in Dutch oven over medium- high heat, breaking up meat with wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.Stir in onions and fennel, cover, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.Uncover, reduce heat to medium, and continue to cook until vegetables are golden, 10 to 12 minutes.Add tomato paste and cook until darkened, about 3 minutes.Stir in 2 cups boiling pasta water and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.Meanwhile, add pasta and 1 tablespoon salt to boiling water and cook, stirring often, until al dente.Reserve 1 1/2 cups cooking water, then drain pasta and return it to pot.Add sausage mixture, Pecorino, and 1 cup reserved cooking water and toss to combine.Season with salt and pepper to taste and add remaining cooking water as needed to adjust consistency.Sprinkle individual portions with fennel fronds and extra Pecorino before serving.Nutrition information per serving: 550 calories; 187 calories from fat; 21 g fat ( g saturated; 7 g trans fats); 48 mg
