in Yemen where forced marriages are still the tradition, and young women \u201cbelong\u201d to their husbands, body and soul.In Argentina, Feminicide is in the headlines still too often.We would like to feel that women are safe from violence in Canada, but we must realize that we have our share of dark shadows.Indigenous women in Canada are three times more likely to face violence than other women, and there is still a vulnerability to women\u2019s safety in general.In our area, we have chosen to raise awareness of how violence remains in our communities by inviting Madame Francine Pelletier to present her thoughts at a free conference being held at the Granby CEGEP, on Monday, December 5, starting at 1:30.This event is open to everyone.Pelletier has developed in-depth expertise in feminist issues.She was a founding member of the journal, \u201cLa Vie en Rose\u201d during the 80s, regularly appeared on The National, co-hosted The Fifth Estate, and is now a regular journalist for Le Devoir.We have asked Pelletier to address three main points: Despite all the advances, violence against women still seems to be everywhere \u2014 indigenous women are still being murdered at an alarming rate, sexual assault is in the news constantly, and violent behaviors are being accepted as minor issues.Have we become complacent to situations of violence towards women?Secondly, women are being advised to \u201clock their doors,\u201d watch their drinks, and dress respectfully as measures to protect themselves from sexual aggression.Why is it the responsibility of women to stay safe, instead of the right to be safe?And lastly, is feminism still relevant in 2016?Have people lost belief in its mission, or has the ideal been misconstrued?Please join in our efforts to stand up to violence targeted at women by wearing a white ribbon during the White Ribbon Campaign between November 25 and December 6, taking action when you witness abuse, and learn more about why we need to continue raising our awareness.Avante will be offering transportation to Granby on December 5.Please call the centre for more information at 450-248-0530.Correction In last week\u2019s (November 15, 2016) article with the headline \u201cGolf course will not become a campground,\u201d please note that the correct timeframe for the municipality to publish a notice is 15 days prior to a council decision regarding minor exemption (derogation), not 21 days.We apologize for the inconvenience of this error.Church Bulletins Cont\u2019d from page 2 Grace Anglican Church at 9 a.m.followed by a coffee hour at 10 a.m.in the church hall.Information: 450-538-0530.COWANSVILLE COMMUNITY BAPTIST CHURCH Cowansville Community Baptist Church meets Sundays at 11:30 a.m., 137 rue John, Cowansville.Everyone is welcome.call Clare at 450-243-5590.GRACE ANGLICAN CHURCH 52 Principale sud, Sutton, welcomes everyone for Sunday services at 10:30 a.m.All welcome.Canon Tim Smart, rector.Information: 450-538-8108 or visit our website at\twww.gracechurchsutton.org.GRANBY UNITED CHURCH 24 St.Paul\u2019s Road, Knowlton.St.Paul\u2019s - a dynamic, diverse community pursuing and serving Jesus in the Eastern Townships.8 a.m.and 10 a.m.Sunday services (traditional, contemporary and modern music and format).Please check out our new website: www.stpaulsknowlton.ca.Messy Church every third Wednesday of the month from 5 - 7 p.m.Everyone welcome!

By Joanne Croghan Brome County Historical Society With the last calendar page poised to be turned, now is a great time to consider becoming a 2017 member of the BCHS! Founded in 1897, the storied organization will be 120 years old in August, just weeks after Canada celebrates its 150th birthday on July 1.Programming for these and other events of local and national interest is well underway at the BCHS and promises to deliver something for everyone in the Brome-Missisquoi community and beyond, including families, couples, students, and seniors, the latter of whom have earned special consideration for the new year.Traditionally steadfast in their sup- port of the BCHS, seniors continue to account for a significant portion of the overall membership.Because they typically \u201cask not what the BCHS can do for them, but what they can do for the BCHS,\u201d they tend to be very active and productive members!

and though often exerting their energy behind the scenes, all recognize their enormous contribution to the community.Gabereau mans a number of the key websites promoting tourism in this area.(See Knowltonquebec.ca or knowl-tonliteraryfestival.ca or aubergeknowl-ton.ca).Stephenson couldn\u2019t hide her excitement about the upswing in the continued transformation including new businesses moving in and others that are growing.She mentioned the relocation of the T-Room that had its grand re-opening in the building diagonal to hers in the centre of town.\u201cInnovative ideas are being put into action,\u201d she said.Using Caroline Couture at Boutiverre as an example, Stephenson mentioned the glass blowing workshops that she will be selling as Christmas gifts.She lightly touched on some of the new additions to Midnight Madness, the annual evening where retailers and restaurants remain open until midnight offering their own samples of seasonal hospitality while shoppers browse, carollers entertain around town, bonfires take the chill off while fraternizing with old friends around town, rides on horse-drawn sleighs, the occasional glimpse of Santa roaming the streets, the new Marché Noel to be located in the Jones New York building by Blackwood Dam.The Victorian village at Christmas is never a disappointment.Emmanuel United in Cowansville still open and in operation A' ill By Louise Smith s is too often the case these days with many churches, Emmanuel United Church in Cowansville, which in its .Cowansville Area Pastoral Charge represents East Farn- ham, Farnham, Brigham, and Cowansville, is without a minister.Trinity Anglican Church in Cowansville is in transition too.However, the doors are far from closed! On Saturday, November 26, the congregation of Emmanuel United is still putting on its Annual Advent (Pre-Christmas) Tea from 1 to 4 p.m.A light lunch will be available and arts and crafts and baked goods will be available.Tea and coffee will be served from Norma\u2019s famous silver set.Friendly faces will greet you at the door.Church services are held every Sunday alternating with registered lay ministers and retired ministers at 10:30 a.m.The service rarely goes over the hour.Every third Sunday is Sunday school and seven to eight children in church are the norm.There is a warm welcoming feeling to the church and the congregation regularly numbers around 30 people.Christmas Eve there will be a service starting at 4 p.m.What a great way to get into the special meaning of the Christmas season.Créations Tayna Left to right, Donald Gray-Donald, Ross Jones, the Honourable Denis Paradis, Minister of Veterans\u2019Affairs, the Honourable KentHehr, Joanne Croghan, and Chris Ward.Tayna Bardati Home staging and Interior Decorating services Email: trfo@>CreatioasTayno.com * Cell: 450 775_501 0 uiwui.creationstayna.com press Printed and distributed by PressReader PressR e a d £ r .jc o\t?ORI(+l1(ji Ü A £2, COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW page 6 Tuesday, November 22, 2016 Brome Countyl^Yw Le T-Room opens in a new location Above left, while invited guest had the privilege of getting first glimpse of the incredibly charming new location of Le T-Room, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Suzanne Gregory and owner Suzon Baron took a moment to visit and chat about the new digs.Above right, The Record\u2019s Sheila Quinn stopped by with her step-daughter to sample the exquisite tea and homemade goodies prepared by owner Suzon Baron.¦ .- Because you love\ttheir\tlives.MedicAlert The bracelet with an emergency hotline linked to your child\u2019s medical record\t-\tT Hy A Call 1-866-734-9425 or visit www.medicalert.ca\tvk j\tir \\ ^ Medic Alert\t4\tK\ty F Lets You Live Life.\t\t EASTERN CANADA June 27-July 5, 2017 Driving along the St.Lawrence River we will stop at Bic (Provincial Park) before arriving in Rimouski for our first over-night.The next morning we\u2019ll visit the Métis Gardens and have lunch at the Pavilion.There are 3000 species and varieties of native and exotic plants.Next we will stay at Chateau Moncton for the next 2 nights.Here we will visit the Bay of Fundy (world\u2019s highest tides) and Hopewell Rocks.The dinner theater at McSweeney\u2019s is well worth our visit.The next morning as we are eating breakfast we will witness the tidal bore flowing by our hotel.In Charlottetown P.E.I.we will experience the Hippo, a land and sea tour aboard a big wheeled amphibious vehicle.Cavendish beach and a lobster supper are next.We\u2019ll spend 2 nights visiting the Cabot Trail and the surrounding area.We will have some free time to visit Bras D\u2019Or Lake and the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic site.Our final stop will be in Halifax including tickets for the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo show.We will visit the Alexander Keiths Nova Scotia\u2019s Brewery and then home with one more night in Grand Falls New Brunswick.Included in our trip are 8 nights accommodation, 8 breakfasts and 8 suppers, Deluxe Bell Horizon Voyageur Bus, Entry to Metis Gardens, Hopwell Rocks, Bay of Fundy Park, Tickets to McSweeny\u2019s dinner theater, Cabot Trail, Military tattoo tickets and the Alexander Keith brewery.Price per person $2495.00 includes all taxes I will need a $200.00 deposit by the 15th of December 2016 and the balance will be due by April 20th, 2017.I hope to hear from everyone very soon as I did visit Eastern Canada this past summer and I can\u2019t wait to return.It is a fun and very friendly destination.Insurance is available.!%V;i 'Aj/i clubVfvoyages Helena Enright Couture 450-263-7100 helenatm@bellnet.ca Trans-Monde 509 rue Sud, Cowansville, J2K 2X9 Pet Of The Week \u2014 Poncho : (Ml A \t Hi everybody!

the Bolton Heritage Association is hoping to take it to schools and organizations in the region to serve as a learning tool supporting local history.Representing the law firm that in 1907 was known as Chauvin-Baker, now Fasken-Martineau, Maitre Maurice Forget spoke about Baker\u2019s contribution as co-founder and how to this day the firm recognizes and honours his efforts as a lawyer, a parliamentarian and as a soldier who stayed with his soldiers to the end of his life.Established by co-founder, Harry Baker the firm has grown to an international entity and continues to honour the work of its founder to this day.The law firm made a point of supporting the East Bolton project along with the federal government.The Bolton-Heritage Association was grateful for his presence along

teacher and as an example of perseverance in all adversity, referring to the multiple debilitating health crises that he suffered over his lifetime.Ace loved life, loved love, and made sure to make every second count.Many spoke about the happy man who became even happier after he married his wife a couple of summers ago.He is remembered as a loving husband of Sharon, step-father to Mia, cherished father to Wills and grandfather to Lyric and Chev-elle who befriended everyone and made sure to stay connected to all.This was no more evident than when he set out on his epic tour of Canada on his Harley Davidson.It was a solo run that he dubbed as \u201cThe Ride.\u201d McLellan made many detours in each province and northern states to make sure to visit with friends.Aldyne Kerrigan chimed in saying that Ace was one of the nicest, and most caring and thoughtful people.\u201cHe\u2019s been so brave and courageous these last few years.What an inspiration.I will always remember when he visited me in Victoria when he was on his big motorcycle trip.\u201d Born a West Islander who grew up in Pointe-Claire but adopted TBL as his home during his 20s, McLellan thrived on sports.In his earlier years McLellan aspired to become a professional baseball player but didn\u2019t make it.However, he loved umpiring so much that he headed to Florida\u2019s Harry Wendelstedt Umpire School.An accomplished athlete playing football, he is still remembered for bringing his N.D.G.Maple Leafs to a win against the Edmonton Huskies at the Canadian Junior Football Championships on a snow-covered field at Moslon Stadium 50 years ago.Fondly nicknamed as \u201cGramps\u201d when he attended Bishops\u2019 University, he played as backup quarterback for the Gaiters.Some remember the rocking chair that was brought out for him while he waited on the sidelines to play.After all, he was older than the average age of his team players.He loved his racquets and time he spent at the Tuxedo Club and was an avid golfer taking advantage of P.E.I\u2019s terrain to play while visiting his maritime family.He spent years returning to the Old Timers Hockey Tournament in his hometown of Pointe-Claire while playing for his TBL team the Knowlton Bulldogs.After a teaching degree in physical education from MacDonald College, he went on to Bishop\u2019s University to obtain a special education degree after which he taught at Massey-Vanier High School until those students were mainstreamed.He culminated his teaching career at Parkview Elementary School in Granby.He continued his work with youth from a different capacity often serving as a valuable mentor and counsellor for the rest of his life journey.Many remember Ace for his countless performances singing and playing guitar at open mic nights.In the late 90s McLellan turned his talent to acting when director Danny McAuley of the Knowlton Players cast him for his début as The Beast in \u201cBeauty and the Beast.\u201d Darlene Bell who acted alongside exclaimed that Ace \u201cowned it.\u201d He went on to play in dozens of other performances and Laura Teasdale said that he was the guy who refuted the adage that \u201cold dogs can\u2019t learn new tricks,\u201d referring to McLellan\u2019s growing ability to remember lines better and better as he aged.McAuley said that \u201cAce was Ace.He gave his all and always found the fun in everything that he did.He is famous for one particular thing in the Knowlton Players.In another show Ace decided to sneak over to The Pub and catch a bit of the game before his next scene.but time escaped him and his cue came and to the horror of the actors on stage there was no Ace.Roger de la Mare ad-libbed to buy for time.The stage manager went in search of Ace and soon the audience could hear a commotion outside of the theatre as his then girlfriend, scolded him and told him off as they circled the theatre.Everyone could hear the door slam as Ace entered the backstage and the heavy footsteps as he ran to the stage to make his grand entrance to cheers from the audience.and then the slow look down to his hands as he realized that he needed a prop gun for the scene to progress.So out he went back again and on his return the show finally got back on track.\u201d Always wanting to give back to the community, Ace joined the first responders in the third group of volunteers.Alan Bowbrick says that from the start, he was a friendly outgoing guy, a true joy to be around.His trademark smile left a lasting impression.\u201cHe also took his role as a first responder very seriously and on the occasion that I had to work with him, I found him to be a strong partner.He remained an active member for a few years until he couldn't do it anymore.Even after he left the team, the friendships he made remained.We will all miss our brother!\u201d An avid poker player and pool shark, he has been known as Ace for all his adult life.He was the Ace of hearts and will be remembered missed by all he touched. page 10 Tuesday, November 22, 2016 Call Sherbrooke: (819) 569-9525 between 8:30 a.m.and 4:30 p.m.E-mail: classad@sherbrookerecord.com or Knowlton: (450)

One of the most beautiful women I have ever seen is Lynda Carter, star of the TV series \u201cWonder Woman.\u201d How old is she?Is she married?I met her many years ago, and I\u2019m still mesmerized.\u2014 G.S.Sunbury, Pennsylvania A: Lynda Carter was born Linda Jean Cordova Carter on July 24, 1951, in Phoenix.She is an actress and a singer.As for her beauty, you won\u2019t be too surprised to find out that she was crowned Miss World USA in 1972.Carter starred in \u201cWonder Woman\u201d from 1975 to 1979.She\u2019s appeared in more than 30 TV shows and close to a dozen movies, and she\u2019s recorded three albums.She still appears on television and on tour.Carter has been married twice.Her first marriage was to her former talent agent, Ron Samuels, from 1977 to 1982.In January 1984, she married Washington, D.C., attorney Robert A.Altman; they have two children: James (born 1988) and Jessica (born 1990).Q; I was on my first business trip to New York City when the taxi took me near what I assume was Little Italy.There was a giant street party going on.The driver had no idea what it was about.Do you?I was there Sept.14.\u2014 V.L., St.Louis A: You saw the Feast of San Gennaro, which is held in Little Italy every year.San Gennaro is the patron saint of Naples.His feast day is Sept.19; he was martyred for his faith in 305 A.D.In New York City, the event ran from Sept.11 through Sept.21 this year.The festival is also held in Los Angeles but for fewer days.Food is the big draw for most people, and there is plenty of it.Here are three of my favorites: zeppole, fried dough with powdered sugar; mostaccioli riepeni, Italian chocolate cookies with fruit and nuts inside; and torrone, Italina candy made from honey, sugar and egg whites.YOU LIVE WHERE?Boring, Maryland.Boring is located in Baltimore County; it has a post office, a volunteer fire company and a church.I\u2019m told the most popular spot in Boring might just be the steps leading to the old country store and post office.Hanging overhead is a sign with the community\u2019s name.There are about 40 homes in Boring.The town\u2019s name does not reflect the quality of life \u2014 rather, it honors a former postmaster, David Boring.Q; My family spent a couple of weeks in the United Kingdom this past summer.At least twice I heard the phrase \".and Bob\u2019s your uncle.\u201d I asked a couple of tour guides what it meant, but the explanation made no sense.Do you care to give an explanation a try?\u2014 H.T.N., Red Bluff, California A; I thought I understood what the phrase meant until I tried to explain it, and now I\u2019m in doubt.I did a lot of checking and studying, and I think I got it.\u201cBob\u2019s your uncle\u201d is an exclamation that is used when something works out; it\u2019s the simple approach to obtaining the results you want.For example, \u201cThe restaurant was full with dozens of people waiting in line.Joe secretly slipped the head waiter a $50, and Bob\u2019s your uncle, Joe and his guest enjoyed an excellent meal.\u201d No one is quite sure of the origin of the phrase.My favorite explanation is that Prime Minister Lord Salisbury \u2014 first name Robert \u2014 showed considerable nepotism to his nephew Arthur Balfour.Because of this, everything came easily to Balfour, thanks to his uncle Bob.Q; Have you ever heard of a Dick Clark rose?Is it named after THE Dick Clark?\u2014 E.K., Columbus, Nebraska A: Yes, the rose is named after THE Dick Clark.According to the Michigan Bulb Co., the award-winning grandiflo-ra rose has blooms of blending shades of cream, bright red and burgundy.The description goes on that the roses are ideal for gardeners who want to enjoy the beauty of growing roses without all the hassle of big, bulky bareroot plants.The plant needs full sun to partial shade.It won the All-America Rose Selection Award in 2011.Without using garden jargon, it is a really beautiful rose.KITCHEN SCOOP by Alicia Ross Going back to a recipe I developed more than 20 years ago is like seeing a dear friend.Lately, I\u2019ve been re-visiting recipes from my first cookbook, \u201cDesperation Dinners!\u201d (Workman, 1997).It was written at a time when preparing dinner in less than 30 minutes was simply not done, unless you ate leftovers or swung through a drive-thru on the way home from work.My goal (and co-author Beverly Mills\u2019 goal) at the time was to create delicious meals that took only 20 minutes to prepare.But now I have more time in the kitchen than I did then, so for today\u2019s Tempting Thai Chicken, I\u2019ve opted to use regular rice and fresh chicken, instead of frozen.Other than that, the recipe is much the same, just reduced to two servings instead of four.The recipe doubles very easily and can still be done in only 20 minutes.Just use instant rice, and if you use frozen chicken, partially defrost it in the microwave before slicing it and cooking it in the skillet.No matter how you make this delicious dinner, I hope you get to sit down and enjoy it! Suggested Menu Tempting Thai Chicken With Spicy Peanut Sauce Hot steamed rice Cabbage salad with Thai dressing Spicy Peanut Sauce Start to finish: less than 10 minutes Yield: makes about 1/2 cup 11/2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (see Cook\u2019s Note) Combine peanut butter, vegetable oil, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil and cayenne pepper in a small bowl and whisk until well combined.(Cook\u2019s Note: Control the level of heat in the Spicy Peanut Sauce with the amount of ground cayenne pepper.For those who really like hot sauce, throw in some crushed hot red pepper to taste.) Tempting Thai Chicken Start to finish: less than 30 minutes Yield: 2 to 3 servings 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 2/3 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic 1 tablespoon bottled chopped ginger 1 to 2 bunches green onions (makes 3/4 cup chopped) 1/3 cup unsalted peanuts 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon dry sherry 1 teaspoon sugar Spicy Peanut Sauce (see recipe above) Hot steamed rice for serving Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high.Cut the chicken into short strips about 1/2-inch wide, adding them to the skillet as you cut.Add the garlic and ginger and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently- While the chicken cooks, chop the green onions into 1/4-inch slices, using the white and enough of the tender green tops to make 3/4 cup; chop the peanuts.Set each aside.When the chicken is no longer pink, add the green onions, peanuts, soy sauce, sherry and sugar.Stir well, then add the Spicy Peanut Sauce and stir well again.Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.Serve over a bed of rice.(Alicia Ross is the co-author of \u201cDesperation

municipalities By Ann Davidson Anyone cruising through Knowlton on Saturday morning between .7:30 and 9:30 would have wondered why so many firemen and their equipment were around especially given the peaceful, summer-like weather with clear skies and brilliant sunshine.The Brome Lake Fire Department along with nine other fire departments in the region was conducting an inter-municipal training session involving 75 firemen.A number of roads in Knowlton had to be closed for safety reasons given the large volume of heavy vehicles and equipment.Notice of this event was sent out to citizens on November 4 giving fair warning of the impending inconvenience.According to Councillor Lee Patterson, who acts also as a volunteer fireman for Brome Lake, the exercise went well.\u201cThe goal was to coordinate as a team so that we are ready to help in each other\u2019s communities if there would be a need.\u201d Patterson mentioned that they also did work with some new equipment with regards to lake and river protection.They have acquired a new device that serves as a temporary dam allowing the continued flow of water under the surface.\u201cIt slows the flow to allow the installation of recovery gear for spills,\u201d he said.Quebec native leaders renew call for independent inquiry o rel Firs^Wa The Canadian Press uebec native leaders are renewing | calls for a public inquiry into the relationship between police and Cations communities in the province.Chief of the Assembly of First Nations of Quebec and Labrador, Ghislain Picard, said Monday it was unacceptable that the provincial government has refused to hold such an independent probe.He was reacting to last week\u2019s deci- sion by Crown officials not to charge any of the six provincial police officers accused of abusing native women in Val d\u2019Or.Picard says Quebec is hiding behind the federal National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.Native leaders say the problem in Val d\u2019Or needs to be investigated by a provincial commission of inquiry.The province said Friday it would create a \u201cworking round-table.\u201d ALAN GAUTHIER Firemen from ten municipalities conducted training exercises in Knowlton last weekend in an effort to refine intermunicipal coordination when fire strikes.tm .¦¦¦T'.VCT \u2022 Dystrophy in of Canada _3oor> ROerryaTl So/ne/çj o
