BCN Staff By capitalizing on the opportunities offered due to labour shortage, the five organizations specializing in employability for women, members of the Montérégien Association of Non-Traditional Organizations (RMONT), have chosen to work together to reach Montérégie women who are ready to improve their socio-economic conditions or find a job that suits them.The One Woman at a Time campaign, deployed throughout the Montérégie, sends a message of mobilization to these women: an organization near you can give you the boost you need to consider a better future.\u201cThe women we want to reach need support to find a job that suits them.The scarcity of the current workforce means that there are great opportunities in all sectors to seize, and that women can take full advantage of it.We want to say to them: go dare, come to see us - and do it for you!\u201d said Caroline Gagnon, Executive Director of Place à l\u2019emploi and spokesperson for the group.Even today, women remain underrepresented in the labour market in the region, with an employment rate 4.5% lower than men\u2019s.In addition, their average annual income is 75.4% of men\u2019s.\u201dBy supporting the RMONT initiative, we want to help improve the conditions of women who have difficulty accessing the labour market or who are in precarious employment.Resources are available to help them and the labor market context is particularly favourable to them,\u201dsaid Dannie Mailloux, acting regional director of Services Québec of Mon- térégie.Personalized support at no cost The 5 organizations offer several services to help women in the Montérégie region and help them integrate into the job market, take tailor-made training, improve their conditions or find a job that suits them.These organizations are distinguished by personalized and sustained support, addressing several spheres of the life of women.A wide range of opportunities is presented to them, including male-dominated occupations that offer great opportunities to improve their socioeconomic status.Exploratory visits to companies, internships and other concrete experiences are also proposed to better identify the options that suit them.A regional campaign The initiators of the campaign wish to reach women of the entire Montérégie.To do this, a poster campaign on buses, bus shelters, shopping malls and partners from the community, health and education sectors, will be visible more specifically in Châteauguay, Granby, Longueuil, Sorel-Tracy, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Val- leyfield until the end of 2019.Women are also invited to visit unefemmealafois.ca or to meet with organizations at local events throughout Mon- térégie.For more information: unefemmealafois.ca About the campaign The One Woman at a Time campaign is an initiative of the Montérégie Association of Non-Tra- ditional Organizations (RMONT), which is composed of the organizations COFFRE (Saint- Jean-sur-Richelieu), L\u2019Orienthèque (Sorel-Tracy), Work Resource Option (Valleyfield), Professional Avenue (Granby) and Endless Options-Place to Work (Longueuil), produced in collaboration with the Services Québec Regional Directorate of the Montérégie.It is made possible thanks to the financial participation of the Government of Quebec.About the initiators of the campaign The five organizations are grouped within the Mon- teregian Network of Non-Traditional Organizations (RMONT).RMONT is a producers\u2019 cooperative created in 2001, whose organizations offer services funded by the Government of Quebec: COFFRE in Saint-Jean-sur-Riche- lieu, L\u2019Orienthèque in Sorel-Tracy, Option Ressource Travail in Salaberry-de- Valleyfield, Professional Avenue in Granby and No-Limit Options-Place to Work in Longueuil.These organizations pool their resources and expertise to improve the socio-economic conditions of women, to promote the diversity of women\u2019s professional choices and to increase their presence in men\u2019s occupations.BromeCountyNews T uesday , October 29, 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 Ivon Grondin The Ivon Hour Fridays at 9 p.m.Repeats Tuesdays at 11 p.m.\u201cThe Ivanator\u201d has been involved in music since 1963, doing Beatles covers back in the day.He still plays musicthe area with his twin brother.www.cidi991.com Listen online!!

BromeCountyNews T uesday , October 29, 2019 PAGE 5 PHOTOS BY LOUISE SMITH Submitted by Brome County Historical Society The BCHS\u2019s latest temporary exhibition, entitled The Long Road Home (October 11, 2019 \u2013 February 16, 2020), focuses on the lengthy post-war recovery after the First World War.For this exhibition, making the scale of Brome County\u2019s involvement in the War immediate and accessible was one of our greatest challenges.The BCHS ultimately opted to represent this involvement through a display of wooden figurines.This column offers a \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d look at the historical research underpinning this project.The premise of the project was simple: each figurine represents a soldier from Brome County that can be arranged into different groups to express a given statistical reality.For instance, the figurines can be grouped according to the fate of the soldier they represent, their year of enlistment, etc.The exhibition currently features 162 figurines representing soldiers whose military record BCHS staff have examined but more will be added over the coming weeks as more research is carried out.Interestingly, this project generated a seemingly straightforward question that is anything but: how many soldiers from Brome County fought in the First World War?Difficulties arise due to the inaccuracy of certain historical sources as honour rolls and commemorative monuments are reliably unreliable, while the unstandardized spelling of names makes finding military records difficult.Moreover, the question of how many soldiers from Brome County fought in the First World War can be answered in a variety of ways.For instance, does a soldier born abroad but living in Brome County at the time of his enlistment count?Should one only count soldiers who served at the Front?Do we only count male soldiers, or do we also include the brave women who served as nurses in the Canadian Expeditionary Force or with the Red Cross?In answering these questions, the Brome County Historical Society has opted to be as inclusive as possible and to count every individual with a credible link to Brome County regardless of place of birth, service record, or gender.BCHS staff expect the final number to be somewhere between 300 and 320.The Society is sending out a call to all individuals interested in helping us in compile biographies for soldiers and nurses with ties to Brome County who served during the First World War.If you have any relevant information or the name of an individual who served, we ask that you write to us at museum@shcb.ca.The Long Road Home: Post-war recovery after W.W.I.Massey-Vanier holds open house CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 of parents of handicapped students.They offer after school day care services at Massey-Vanier from 3:45 to 5:45 for $8 a day.They also give special activities on Professional days and there is a summer camp too.Their phone number is 450- 263-1566.Guided tours were offered and at the end of the tour a special Massey-Vanier water bottle was given to each visitor.It was a friendly, welcoming way to answer questions and to profile what is available at the Massey-Vanier campus.Principal Julie Edwards posed happily with the mascot for the VIking teams.Joanne Tanguay with a colleague from the APPHBM gave out information on services for students with special needs Marty Roberts posed with students from his technology science club.The tile project outside the main doors of Massey-Vanier are a beautiful tribute to MV's 50 years.One of the displays in the BCHS\u2019s new exhibition featuring wooden figurines representing soldiers from Brome County and a replica of the Knowlton War Memorial PHOTO COURTESY BCHS PAGE 6 T uesday , October 29, 2019 BromeCountyNews Celebrating 50 Years The Founding Friends of Massey-Vanier will publish a 50th Anniversary Memorial Book Nov.29.The Golden Jubilee of Massey-Vanier 40-page full-colour book will be a compilation of photos and recollections from teachers, students and administrators over the past 50 years.A limited number of books will be printed.To reserve your copy, please send an email to billing@sherbrookerecord.com stating your name and phone number.Put MV-50 years in the subject line.Payment due at time of delivery.Books are $10 (plus shipping if not picked up).A portion of the profit from book sales will be given to The Friends of Massey-Vanier and the Scholarship Awards Committees Pet of the Week: Milou Hello!

ages were invited to be a part of the march.Le Grand Defi began as a way of \u201cprescribing\u201d exercise by doctors for good health.In 1999 Pierre Lavoie launched the first Grand Defi as a bike ride that covered 1000 km.The short course was a 135 km ride.It has grown into a health movement campaign.Elementary school children across the province get booklets in the spring in which they colour in cubes to represent active movement done each week over several weeks.The number of participating towns and cities in the bike ride or a walk has also grown.This fall over a hundred towns were involved.In Cowansville the walkers began at the beach and walked up to the hospital and along a path and then back down to the beach for a five- kilometre walk.Each participant received a light blue scarf with the logo of the Grand Defi sponsored by the Federation of Chiropractic doctors of Quebec.Doctors are proposing that regular exercise can be a beneficial way to improve overall health.Le

BromeCountyNews T uesday , October 29, 2019 PAGE 9 By Louise Smith In our area Sutton, Knowlton, Waterloo, and Cowansville have active Legions.The Legions in Farnham and Granby have closed in recent years.On the news the Legion in Verdun, on the island of Montreal, is now in peril of closing.The sacrifice of men and women in the armed forces should not just be remembered on November 11.Supporting local Legions is a way of supporting those who have served for Canada.The annual poppy campaign launched this weekend.It is important to buy a poppy each year.A large portion of the funds raised at this time remains in the local area of the legions where the poppies were sold.In Cowansville poppies are sold on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at IGA, Super C, the Canadian Tire store, Walmart, and at the local shopping center outside the entrance to Dol- larama.They can also be purchased at the Legion on Davignon Blvd.during its opening hours.If you want information on Remembrance Day parades, contact can be made to the local Legion in your area.Poppy campaign in full swing BCN Staff It was during a festive evening at the Cowansville Nature Centre on October 24 that the Cultural and Tourism Development Committee launched its new cultural and tourist approach, C\u2019.This approach is the result of a year\u2019s work by some fifteen people from all walks of life, from business to the arts.Their goal: to implement an approach focused on cultural tourism.\u201cFor many years, we have wanted to develop the downtown area.Several initiatives have been implemented, such as the redevelopment of downtown park, the installation of lights for events and the creation of a snow park.However, there is still much to do to stand out at the tourist level.This approach is the beginning of a process to develop our colour, \u201csaid Sylvie Beauregard, Mayor of Cowans- ville.This initiative\u2019s mission is to bring together the citizens and merchants of Cowansville.Cultural, economic and tourism development will be used as a source of action, pride and growth to create an attractive, vibrant downtown area focused on local buying and culture.To achieve this, four strategies will be put forward: 1.Support innovative and recreational projects.2.Create a strong network of collaboration between merchants.3.Promote eco-responsibility and the sharing economy.4.Embellish and animate the downtown area in a spirit of coherence.\u201cWe invite citizens, organizations, businesses and schools to carry out projects related to strategies.The committee already has several projects that it wishes to achieve, including the installation of a public piano and the creation of a space for the free practice of painting,\u201d said Marie-Maude Secours, director of the Department of Recreation and Culture.Anyone wishing to become involved in this process can complete the form available on the City of Cowansville\u2019s website at

local products.\u201cFor us it\u2019s important to highlight our producers and winemakers during our evenings,\u201d said CWB-M Executive Director Mélanie Gobeille.For her part, CCHY\u2019s Executive Director, Claude Surprenant, emphasizes: \u201cFrom the beginning, we worked together on various projects and this one is particularly important to us because our companies will be on the menu.\u201d

unusual lamps.450-538- 0134 By Katie Workman For every home cook happily tossing together a stir fry at home, there are a dozen would-be stir fryers wanting to make chicken-broccoli-sugar- snap-pea stir fry .and then sheepishly reaching for the takeout menu.Stir-fry technique has many people intimidated.But if you can slice and stir, you can stir fry.So, let\u2019s break it down, review the basics, and get everyone on their way to stir-fry success.DIRECTIONS: 1.Read the recipe all the way through.The ingredients, the steps, everything.Getting a sense of the order of events so you know what\u2019s coming will make you more confident as you cook.2.Prep ALL the ingredients before you start cooking.Stir-frying goes quickly, so make sure your ingredients are all cut and ready to roll.You don\u2019t want to realize suddenly that you still need to mince the garlic that\u2019s supposed to be sautéing along with the broccoli.3.Make sure your ingredients are of similar size.Most stir fries involve fairly small-cut ingredients added in stages, sometimes in batches, so everything ends up properly cooked at the same time.When chopping broccoli for instance, or cubing chicken, try and make all the pieces roughly the same size.4.Feel free to swap or substitute ingredients.If you want broccoli instead of sugar snap peas, great! Again, just make sure the vegetables you sub in are cut comparably and have a similar density, therefore a similar cooking time.Or adjust the time as needed: Sliced carrots will need more cooking time than spinach, for instance, so add a few minutes to the cooking time, or add them earlier in the recipe.Cubed pork can be used in place of chicken, tofu can be swapped in for shrimp - most stir fries are flexible.5.A skillet may be better than a small wok.The bowl-shaped pans sold as woks are not always the best answer for a home cook.Because there is a lot of sloped side area to a wok, there isn\u2019t much flat bottom sitting directly on the heat.I like using a very large skillet, so the food in the pan is less crowded and gets a better distribution of heat.If you do want a wok, get a big one! 6.Make sure the pan is hot.You need high heat to get the best flavour from the ingredients in a stir fry.And you need the pan to be hot before the ingredients hit it, so they have a chance to sear a bit, locking in colour and flavour.7.Cook in layers and batches.The secret to great stir-fries (and lots of other cooking methods, like frying and sautéing) is to not crowd the pan, and to leave the food alone between stirs.Giving individual pieces of food a chance to come in direct contact with the hot pan on a continuous basis is the difference between nicely browned pieces and a pile of steamed food.That\u2019s why many stir-fry recipes call for cooking ingredients separately or in batches.And because stir-fry food is cut small, cooking goes quickly.So doing it in stages and batches and then combining it all at the end adds only a handful of extra minutes.8.Add the sauce at the end.Only once your ingredients are cooked do you want to add any liquid.Otherwise, you wouldn\u2019t really be stir frying, but braising or poaching.A bit of cornstarch mixed into the sauce will allow it to thicken as it simmers.9.Make some rice.It\u2019s nice to have something to soak up that sauce.Choose any kind of rice you like: white, brown, jasmine, basmati, whichever.Noodles, especially Asian noodles, are another nice base for stir fries.INGREDIENTS: Here are a handful of condiments called for in many Asian recipes.Once you get to know them, you can play with them like mad.- Soy Sauce.Indispensable in Asian cooking (and interesting in non-Asian recipes as well).It packs a rich, salty taste, and is brewed from soybeans and wheat.You can choose regular or less- sodium soy sauce, and if there are gluten intoler- ances in your family, go for tamari, which is similar but without wheat.- Sesame Oil.Made from toasted sesame seeds, this oil has a nutlike and aromatic flavour.It\u2019s often added at the end of cooking to preserve its wonderful flavour.It\u2019s strong, so use in small amounts.Chili sesame oil is a nice way to add that sesame flavour and some heat at the same time.Keep it in the fridge to keep it from getting rancid.- Hoisin Sauce.A thick, somewhat intense sauce made from ground soybeans and some kind of starch, seasoned with red chilies and garlic.Vinegar, Chinese five-spice and sugar are also commonly added.- Chili Garlic Sauce.Versatile, spicy and garlicky, as the name suggests.It\u2019s got a slightly rough texture, and a dose of tanginess from vinegar.- Oyster Sauce.Made from oyster extracts combined with sugar, soy sauce, salt and thickeners.This thick, dark brown sauce is a staple in Chinese family-style cooking.Another way to add saltiness and umami (savoriness) to stir fries.- Fish Sauce, or nam pla in Thai.A basic ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly Thai and Vietnamese.It has a pungent odor, but when used in cooking, the flavour is much milder.The aroma comes from the liquid given off by anchovies that have been salted or fermented.This is the kind of thing you might want to keep to yourself until your kids have eaten and enjoyed fish sauce in a recipe.Two items to keep in the fridge: - Ginger.Fresh ginger is one of the greatest ingredients in stir fries.Spicy, bracing, uplifting.It\u2019s an easy way to add bang-for-your-buck flavour.- Garlic.Usually finely minced, sometimes thinly sliced.The base of garlic and ginger heated together in oil is a sign of a terrific stir fry in the making.(The Associated Press) Stir fry basics for home cooks Today in History for
