Archives The Eastern Townships Bank Walking down the main streets of any number of Townships\u2019 towns \u2013 Coaticook, Rock Island, Danville, or Granby \u2013 passersby can find themselves taken in by the commanding neo-classical and second empire architectural styles of the buildings that once served as branches of the Eastern Townships Bank.Apart from the dramatic and almost intimidating nature of these buildings, the E.T.Bank played a meaningful role in the lives of the local population as it served farmers, artisans, and businessmen alike.From the moment of its establishment in 1859, the Eastern Townships Bank was to be a bank supported by the people of the Townships and that served the people of the Townships.In fact, in 1863, 89% of the E.T.Bank\u2019s capital was held by Townshippers.The presence of a regional bank and the access to loans meant that local businessmen and entrepreneurs were able to get their businesses off the ground.One small example of this was James H.Smith of Sutton, who received a loan from the Eastern Townships Bank so that he could become a dealer of carriages, harnesses, farming Implements, wagons, and cream separators.In addition to small businesses, the E.T.Bank invested in many of the large industries emerging in the Townships in the latter part of the 19th century, such as Jenckes Machine Shop in Coaticook, Royal Paper Mills in East Angus, and Paton Manufacturing Company in Sherbrooke.The E.T.Bank had gone from a head office and two agencies in 1859 to 61 branches and 31 agencies in a span of 50 years.In addition to its more notable branches, the Eastern Townships Bank had a presence in a great many towns and villages throughout the region, including Roxton Falls, East Broughton, and Upton, which afforded smaller communities access to local banking services.Beyond its practical involvement in the financial affairs of the region, the E.T.Bank displayed its Townships roots on its money and stock certificates; they bore farming and mining scenes as well as recognizable landscapes such as the iconic Lake Memphremagog steamer, the Lady of the Lake, and the Magog River Gorge in Sherbrooke.The Eastern Townships Bank continued to grow into the early years of the 20th century but as shareholders from outside the region increased (by 1912, 64% of the Bank\u2019s capital was held by those outside the Townships) and with increased competition from the major national banks, the directors of the Eastern Townships Bank elected to sell to the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in 1912.Even though over 100 years have passed since its absorption into the CIBC, the Eastern Townships Bank continues to live on in the landscapes of the Eastern Townships.In the words of C.C.Colby: \u201c[\u2026] let us hope that the Eastern Townships Bank will never forget its years of youth amid the noble and beloved hills of the Eastern Townships!\u2019 Note: Please consider the ETRC Archives as a location to donate your

for overnight stays over three seasons of the year.LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Quebec Lodge project growing year by year Restarted summer camp plans for eight weeks of programming in 2018 By Gordon Lambie Little by little, the Quebec Lodge Outdoor Centre on the shores of Lake Massawippi is making its way back to being a summer-long overnight camp.Officially reopened in the summer of 2016 for two weeks of day programming with little more than a yurt and a forest trail, the camp is now looking forward to a full-summer of activity in 2018.\u201cWe\u2019ve gone from two weeks, to four weeks, to eight weeks,\u201d said Ruth Sheeran, President of the Quebec Lodge Foundation, explaining that the plan is to have the structure and programming of the camp grow as interest and registration grows.\u201cWe\u2019re doing this cautiously,\u201d she added.The President told The Record that in the month of June the camp will be adding two more yurts to its layout, tripling the indoor space currently available to campers.These added structures will complete the first of three planned \u201cyurt villages\u201d that will form the basis of the camp\u2019s eventual residential program.\u201cWe will develop the yurt villages gradually as our registration grows,\u201d Sheeran said \u201cWe don\u2019t want to grow too quickly.\u201d By the time the three villages are finished, the camp will be able to welcome 96 campers for overnight stays over three seasons of the year.\u201cThe goal is to have one residential week next year,\u201d said Kelly Hurdle, Quebec Lodge\u2019s Program Director, explaining that the camp will continue to operate on the established day camp model while overnight camping is phased back in.As to the programming at the camp, Hurdle explained that each of the eight weeks will have a theme that is based in the natural world.She offered examples like survival, plants and animals, and camouflage, and said that each week\u2019s activities will lead towards a culminating task that will draw on everything the campers have seen and heard.As in years past, the program is based on the structure of the Quebec Education Program, and specifically on developing the children\u2019s environmental literacy, ability to cooperate with others, ability to use information, and healthy lifestyles.Although that basis might make the camp sound a lot like school, Hurdle pointed out that the ways the camp works on those concepts is through activities like fire building, arts and crafts, boating, exploring nature, and taking on the site\u2019s three low-ropes courses.\u201cWe do a canoe trip each week, and the campers love it,\u201d the program director said, explaining that the day-trip takes the campers out to another beach on the lake to explore in a different environment.Looking to the future and the plan of residential camping, there is one major piece of the camp that has been missing over these first years.Namely; there is no \u201clodge\u201d at Quebec Lodge.That, according to Sheeran, should be changing in the fall.Although Camp Director Brian Wharry told The Record in the spring of 2017 that a lodge would be built at the camp starting at the end of that summer, the Foundation President explained that delays with some of the preparatory steps led to a decision to put the work off until the fall of 2018.\u201cWe knew we wouldn\u2019t be able to complete the lodge before the beginning of summer and we really didn\u2019t want to be having day camp in a construction site,\u201d Sheeran said.\u201cSince we wouldn\u2019t be using the lodge for the camp anyway, we thought the best thing to do would be to create the lodge in the fall so it will be all nice and ready for camp next summer.\u201d The president explained that, once completed, the Bodtker Lodge will serve as a three-season hall, dining room and recreation area with a kitchen, bathrooms with showers, administrative offices, and storage areas.Quebec Lodge\u2019s 2018 season starts on July 2, with programming running from 8:30 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon each day.The camp currently has openings for 30 campers per week.\u201cThere is plenty of room,\u201d Hurdle said, when asked about current registrations, saying that the camp has yet to reach its goal of 200 children aged seven to 15.More information about the Quebec Lodge Outdoor Centre is available at www.quebeclodge.org COURTESY COURTESY CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 vocational training with annual bursaries and scholarships.The Young Townships Leader Award was presented to Audrey Morneau, from Richmond.Morneau put her heart and soul into what began as a school project to create a fundraising initiative, to launch the \u2018Legendairy\u2019 Show.The May 12th event attracted 43 registrations and participants from around the province and generated $7,000 for the Au Coeur des Famille Agricole, which helps farmers and their families across the province with their mental and physical health.Also recognized during the meeting were Junia Goddard and Sunny Skelling Brooks, both from Alexander Galt Regional High School, and winners of the Excel in the Estrie Essay Competition.Goddard and Skelling Brooks\u2019 essays focused on building confidence and transitioning into adulthood.Both entries illustrated the authors\u2019 attachment to the region and their plans to build their futures in the community after pursuing their educational dreams, for Ms.Goddard as a future journalist and Mr.Skelling Brooks as an emergency room or neonatal care nurse.The AGM itself was dealt with in less than 20 minutes.Roughly 50 TA members and members of the public attended the meeting.All members of the board of directors, the majority of which were not in attendance, were acclaimed, and new member Jamie Marotte was welcomed into the fold.The auditor\u2019s report gave TA a clean financial bill of health.Among the highlights listed in the annual report, the organization noted 905 jobs posted through the Make Way for Youth Estrie program, 89 local artists who benefitted from Townships Expressions to promote and sell their work, 613 jobs shared on TA\u2019s website and mobile app, 28 entrepreneurs who received specialized business coaching through partner YES, and four young English-speaking professionals who participated in Make way for Youth and have since migrated to the Townships.The organization also participated in close to a dozen provincial and federal consultations, giving presentations on behalf of the English-speaking community.Following the meeting and award presentations, TA gave the floor to Leslie Acs, Executive Director the organization La Passerelle, to talk about the pilot project undertaken last year in partnership with TA and CEDEC.Acs explained that La Passerelle is a non-profit organization based in Montreal that offers resources and services to job seekers who are over 40 years old.Pointing out that the project attracted less interest than the three groups had hoped for, Acs took the time to explain La Passerelle\u2019s mission to TA members meeting at in the hope of spreading the word and gaining more interest among Townshippers who might be in need of assistance with job searching.Outstanding locals Page 4 Monday ,

a hard-copy of a collection of our work, so that participants can take it home after the workshops are done.\u201d It is not the first time that the Town- shippers\u2019 Association workshops have led to publications.During Our Stories, one participant became a successful, published author.\u201cOur North Hatley poster child came to a past workshop.It was about memoirs,\u201d said Draper.\u201cWhen it came time to share our work, she accepted to have us read hers, and we were all touched by the memoir she wrote.It turned out she had already published a book years ago, and we encouraged her to write another.Well, she did, and her book is now a huge success.\u201d The \u2018poster child\u2019 in question was Ann Mitchell; her book \u201cMemories Are Made of This\u201d can be found in the North Hat- ley Library.Draper and other organizers hope to have other similar success stories.They plan to regularly submit work produced in the workshops to the press, using outlets such as The Record and The Townships Sun as well as CJMQ.There is even a Podcast being planned.Gerald Cutting, president of the Townshippers\u2019 Association, praised the project as a means to preserve the spirit of the Townships, since, as he put it, \u201cwriting lasts forever\u201d.\u201cJan is tenacious.She had a vision where we celebrate the culture, arts and vitality of the Townships, and this project is a beautiful way to bring together that vision with the concrete,\u201d he said.Each session will be complemented by a bunch of goodies, from homemade baked goods to fresh fruit and coffee, and has a plethora of creative techniques to get the writing juices flowing.Draper, for example, does \u2018otherworldly guided journeys\u2019 through visualization techniques which help participants embody the scene they wish to write about.The result is incredible, as she pushes participants to explore every detail of the scene, smells, textures, colors, to reach a new level of realism.The experience is worth a try.Details concerning the workshops, such as time and location, will be made available soon.COURTESY Jan Draper, Melanie Cutting, Étienne Domingue and Gerald Cutting at a Write here, Write now! workshop held on Thursday evening in North Hatley.Friendship Day 2018 PHOTOS BY GORDON LAMBIE Record Staff SHERBROOKE Sherbrooke Ville en Santé and its Community Safety Committee partners began a pilot initiative Friday, with the aim of educating high school seniors about the dangers of driving while impaired.Participating students were given the opportunity to drive a \"go-kart\" on a closed track wearing glasses that simulate a high level of inebriation.While driving, participants faced different difficulties, such as: negotiating a curve correctly, stopping on a stop line, avoiding obstacles, and keeping on a straight line.The activity was carried out among 90 graduating students at l\u2019École internationale du Phare, \"As the prom and summer seasons arrive, it is important to continue prevention activities and to diversify the way we reach young people,\u201d said school Principal Patrick Levasseur.\u201cWe believe that the activity will meet this need through first-hand experience.\u201d The school environment is an ideal place to hold prevention activities.The hope is that the event was able to raise awareness of the potential dangers of alcohol consumption and that \u201cyoung people will enjoy a summer where pleasure and safety are combined.\u201d Ithink my first lesson in the wonder of democracy was thanks to a friend named Mark T.This was back in high school at a time when the youth revolution zeitgeist had gusted into the more remote corners of North America.What we were rebelling against?Memory fails, although our school principal was the archetypal authoritarian square who didn\u2019t contenance long hair or hippie attire.He would later be incarnated in the repressed and crazed principal in Ferris Bueller\u2019s Day Off.What sparked the walk-out?Doesn\u2019t matter.What does matter is it led to a campaign to elect Mark T.student council president in the upcoming vote.Yours truly was his campaign manager, making up signs with slogans and writing up a revolutionary stem-winder of a speech for our photogenic but unread candidate that he promptly tossed aside at the election assembly.He ran against the uber-keener of the school who was handicapped by her brains, her prim demeanor and a coherent platform.It may be worth mentioning that Mark T.was a Mormon who had fully embraced that faith\u2019s practice of letting teens go wild and blow off steam before they put childish things away and do a missionary stint somewhere in the world and then settle down and raise a family.He obviously viewed his gig as student militant leader as part of that experience.Mark T.was of course elected in a landslide and served an unremarkable term as president.After high school he apparently became a carpenter and moved out west.Thoughts of the marvels and quirks of democracy come to the mind in the wake of a few recent disparate exercises in what Churchill famously described as the \u201cworst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.\u201d Across our western border, Ontario voters opted to elect a Progressive Conservative government led by a man who clearly took a page or two from President Donald Trump\u2019s populist manual of catchy slogans - \u201cbuck a beer\u201d - and disdain for the apparatus of modern government and bureaucracy.He never actually said \u201cmake Ontario great again.\u201d Voters swung sharply away from the opposite menu on offer from the NDP of more costly government intervention in the lives of citizens.Whatever interpretation one might have of Doug Ford\u2019s stunning victory in Ontario, there was undeniably a bright spot in the 58 percent voter turnout rate, the highest Canada\u2019s biggest province has seen in 20 years.As encouraging as that may be, it still lags behind Quebec which had a participation rate in the 2014 election of 71 percent.Quebec\u2019s lowest turnout rate in modern times was 57.4 percent in 2008, just slightly below Ontario\u2019s recent highest mark.The highest level ever was in the watershed 1976 election where 85.27 of voters on the list cast a ballot.Ontario\u2019s historic high was 73 percent in 1971.It\u2019s perhaps absurd to draw a comparison between official election participation and street protests, the ground level expression of democracy, but based on the experience in Quebec City for the three days of anti-G7 demonstrations, there appears to be a high degree of apathy afoot in the militant community.Some will say the massive police presence in the streets of the old city discouraged a larger participation than the maximum of barely 1,000 who showed up for the two largest marches on Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon, both in pleasant weather.Composed of gaggles of groups protesting everything from pipelines, to tax havens, to North Korean human rights abuses, to the treatment of Canada\u2019s first nations, the marches scarcely compared in size or ferocity to an average Quebec public sector union- organized manif in the streets of the capital.(Given that 10,000 civil servants had been given two days off for the G7 event, one might have expected more to have shown up at the protests.) While demonstrators declared the G7 meeting of the world\u2019s richest democracies as not representing the real people, the self-declared real people marched in small numbers in the cocoon of police protection.Who knows what Mark T., a one-time leader of a short-lived democratic movement, would have thought?EDITORIAL Page 6 Monday , June 11, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Whatever interpretation one might have of Doug Ford\u2019s stunning victory in Ontario, there was undeniably a bright spot in the 58 percent voter turnout rate, the highest Canada\u2019s biggest province has seen in 20 years.Democracy is just the worst, but still the best 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2 FAX: 819-821-3179 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON MCCULLY PUBLISHER .(819) 569-9511 MATTHEW MCCULLY ASSOCIATE EDITOR (819) 569-6345 GORDON LAMBIE ASSOCIATE EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 STEPHEN BLAKE CORRESP.EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 SERGE GAGNON CHIEF PRESSMAN .(819) 569-4856 JESSE BRYANT ADVERTISING MANAGER .(450) 242-1188 DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTING .(819) 569-9511 ADVERTISING .(819) 569-9525 CIRCULATION .(819) 569-9528 NEWSROOM .(819) 569-6345 KNOWLTON OFFICE 5B VICTORIA STREET, KNOWLTON, QUEBEC, J0E 1V0 TEL: (450) 242-1188 FAX: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST T O T A L QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 155.00 7.75 15.46 $ 1 7 8 .2 1 6 MONTHS 85.00 4.25 8.48 $ 9 7 .7 3 3 MONTHS 44.00 2.20 4.39 $ 5 0 .5 9 ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 71.50 3.58 7.13 $ 8 2 .2 1 1 MONTH 6.49 0.32 0.65 $ 7 .4 6 Rates for out of Quebec and for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 9, 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.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, 6 Mallory Street, Sherbrooke, QC J1M 2E2 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA RECORD THE Peter Black Ville en Santé launches new impaired driving awareness initiative Local Sports \u201cWe always want to give the best of ourselves so as not to disappoint our supporters and our partners.\u201d Monday , June 11, 2018 Page 7 The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Magog honours Les Cantonniers Record Staff On Thursday, Magog Mayor Vicki- May Hamm and Magog city councillors welcomed twenty players from the Magog Cantonniers, winners of the 2018 Jimmy Ferrari Cup and finalists in the National Midget Championship for the Telus Cup.Hamm emphasized the importance of the team\u2019s success for citizens that has contributed to Magog's influence in the region and beyond.\"We are proud of you, obviously because you are talented athletes with a future,\u201d she said.\u201dWe are also proud of you because you are young adults capable of conveying beautiful values that will serve you throughout your life,\" she added, referring to the special connections made at La Ruche High School with students with mild disabilities.Hamm also mentioned the important contribution of \"everybody around the Cantoniners and who support you daily in the development of your sports and human skills, including your coach, Felix Potvin, and president, Renaud Lé- garé.They also received well-deserved honors at the Champions League of the Quebec Midget AAA League.There are also volunteers and families who kindly hosted players, most of whom work in the shadows, but are an integral part of your success.\" Légaré thanked the Town of Magog, the team's partners, and all those who support them.\"This encouragement and solidarity are essential for administrators and players,\u201d he said.\u201dThis is what stimulates us every moment.We always want to give the best of ourselves so as not to disappoint our supporters and our partners.\u201d In closing, Légaré invited the public to follow the team closely next season, which will be the 40th, beginning on August 31, 2018.(COURTESY VILLE DE MAGOG) Magog Mayor Vicki-May Hamm and Magog Councillors greeted 20 members of Les Cantonniers hockey club at a civic reception last Thursday.

condition.Is it too late for me, considering I\u2019ve already been diagnosed?Dear Reader: You\u2019re not alone in asking this question, especially in light of this new report.Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, affects more than 2 million people in the United States, making it the most common heart-rhythm abnormality in the country.For those not familiar with the condition: The atria are the chambers of the heart that pump blood into the ventricles, which are the more muscular chambers that then push blood out to the rest of the body.Injuries to the atria can happen for a variety of reasons, leading to abnormal electrical conduction and what is known as atrial fibrillation.In these circumstances, the atria quiver instead of contracting rhythmically, creating the possibility that the blood in the chambers will form a clot, travel to the brain and cause a stroke.In fact, 15 percent of all strokes are caused by AFib.The new study you reference assessed ways to prevent AFib.Researchers analyzed data from 13,182 men and women, ages 45 to 64, who had filled out questionnaires from 1987 through 1989 about their health habits.The participants were reassessed four more times: from 1990 through 1992; from 1993 through 1995; from 1996 through 1998; and from 2011 through 2013.Data included height and weight, smoking status, blood pressure, cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels.Questionnaires also assessed participants\u2019 diet and level of physical activity.From all of this information, the authors divided people into three different health categories: inadequate, average or optimal.Over the years of the study, up until Dec.31, 2014, the authors also identified those in each category who developed atrial fibrillation.After adjusting for confounding factors, the authors found that people in the average health category had a 37 percent decreased risk of AFib compared to those in the inadequate health category.And those in the optimal health category had a 57 percent decrease in risk compared to those with inadequate health.Note that diet and cholesterol level did not appear to have any effect upon atrial fibrillation.One problem with the study, however is that the authors didn\u2019t explain how they adjusted for binge drinking, which is a major risk factor for this condition.In fact, AFib occurs in 60 percent of binge drinkers.But even moderate amounts can cause the abnormal rhythm.A 2014 study found that, compared to people who had less than one drink per week, those who had seven to 14 drinks per week had a 14 percent greater risk of atrial fibrillation; those with 15 to 21 drinks per week had a 39 percent greater risk of AFib.Another factor on which the researchers were unclear is how they controlled for the impact of exercise; moderate exercise decreases the risk of AFib, while extreme exercise increases the risk.If you have had atrial fibrillation for many years, it may be difficult for your heart to resume a normal rhythm.However, removing risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, sleep apnea and excessive alcohol consumption can reduce the frequency of AFib.Further, among people who underwent a heart ablation procedure to stop AFib, 62 percent of those who made lifestyle changes were able to eliminate the condition, compared to 26 percent of those who didn\u2019t make such changes.And, as we said, moderate exercise may slightly decrease the risk of AFib.Robert Ashley, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.Lifestyle changes

fairly regular basis.This week, I will describe some of Kleinman\u2019s deals.Like all expert players, he has his own opinions about the game, with a particular dislike of all things Blackwood.He writes for The Bridge World magazine and plays regularly in his hometown of Los Angeles.In today\u2019s deal, how should South plan the play in six diamonds after West leads a heart?In the auction, over one diamond, North, in his partnership methods, could not make an inverted minor-suit raise (two diamonds indicating at least game-invitational strength) or a splinter bid (three hearts promising a singleton or void in that suit), so he improvised with two clubs.South might have rebid two no-trump, but chose three clubs.Then North bid what he hoped his partner could make.Initially, South thought that he needed West to hold the diamond king and East the spade king.Then he could have collected two spades, one heart, six diamonds and three clubs.However, there was an extra chance that cost nothing to try.South took the first trick and played a trump, West\u2019s king appearing immediately.Declarer won with dummy\u2019s ace, cashed the diamond queen, played a club to his queen, ruffed a heart, crossed again with a club, ruffed the last heart and cashed the club king.Finally, South played the spade ace and a spade to his queen.Bad news \u2014 West won the queen with the king.Good news \u2014 West held only two hearts and one club left, so had to concede a ruff-and-sluff.

By America\u2019s Test Kitchen We wanted a pie that had a firm, juicy filling full of fresh blueberry flavour with still plump berries, and we also wanted a crisp, flaky crust.To thicken the pie, we tried cornstarch as well as our gluten-free flour blend but preferred tapioca starch, which was subtle enough to allow the berry flavour to shine through.Too much of it, though, created a congealed mess.Cooking some of the blueberries down to a saucy consistency helped us reduce the amount of tapioca required, as did adding a peeled Granny Smith apple that we shredded on the large holes of a box grater.Rich in pectin, the apple helped thicken the berries naturally.Since gluten-free pie crusts can easily turn soggy, we found that preheating a sheet pan in the oven and baking the pie on the lower rack helped keep the crust crisp.(We also offer a gluten-free flour blend).It\u2019s not safe to place a glass (Pyrex) pie plate on a preheated baking sheet.If you must use a glass pie plate, do not preheat the baking sheet; note, however, that your crust will not be as crisp.This pie is best served the day it is made.BLUEBERRY PIE Servings: 8 Start to finish: 3 hours 30 ounces (6 cups) blueberries 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and shredded 5 1/4 ounces (3/4 cup) sugar 2 tablespoons tapioca starch 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest plus 2 teaspoons juice Pinch salt 1 recipe Double-Crust Pie Dough (recipe below) 1 large egg white, lightly beaten Cook 3 cups blueberries in medium saucepan over medium heat, mashing occasionally with potato masher to help release juices, until half of berries have broken down and mixture is thickened and measures 1 1/2 cups, about 8 minutes.Let cool slightly.Place shredded apple in clean kitchen towel and wring dry.Combine apple, cooked berry mixture, remaining 3 cups uncooked berries, sugar, tapioca starch, lemon zest and juice, and salt in large bowl.Adjust oven rack to lowest position, place foil-lined rimmed baking sheet on rack, and heat oven to 425 F.Roll 1 disk of dough into 12-inch circle between 2 large sheets of plastic wrap.Remove top plastic, gently invert dough over 9-inch metal pie plate, and ease dough into plate; remove remaining plastic.Roll other disk of dough into 12-inch circle between 2 large sheets of plastic.Remove top plastic.Using 1 1/4-inch round cookie cutter, cut hole in centre of dough, then cut out 6 more holes, about 1 1/2 inches from hole in centre, evenly spaced around centre hole.Spread blueberry mixture evenly into dough-lined pie plate.Gently invert top crust over filling and remove remaining plastic.Trim dough 1/2 inch beyond lip of pie plate, pinch dough edges together, and tuck under itself to be flush with edge of pie plate.Crimp dough evenly around edge using your fingers.Brush pie with egg white.Place pie on preheated baking sheet and bake until crust is light golden brown, about 25 minutes.Reduce oven temperature to 350 F, rotate baking sheet, and continue to bake until juices are bubbling and crust is deep golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes longer.Let pie cool on wire rack to room temperature, about 4 hours.Serve.DOUBLE-CRUST PIE DOUGH Makes enough for one 9-inch pie Perfect pie dough has just the right balance of tenderness and structure.The former comes from fat, the latter from the long protein chains, called gluten, that form when flour mixes with water.Too little gluten and the dough won\u2019t stick together; too much and the crust turns tough.So presumably we would face mostly a structural issue with a gluten-free dough, since gluten-free flours are naturally low in protein.As our first step, we swapped in our gluten-free flour blend for the wheat flour in all the pie dough recipes the test kitchen has developed over the years.We produced workable doughs in every case, but an all-butter dough (which includes sour cream for tenderness) had the necessary richness to stand up to the starchiness of the gluten-free flour blend and was clearly the best starting point.Although we weren\u2019t surprised to find that the dough was still too soft and lacked structure, we were taken aback by how tough it was; on its own, the sour cream was not sufficient to tenderize a gluten-free dough.We solved the structural problem easily with the addition of a modest amount of xanthan gum, but flakiness and tenderness were still elusive.In an effort to further tenderize our dough, we tested ingredients that are known to tenderize: baking soda, lemon juice, and vinegar.Vinegar was the clear winner, producing a pie crust that was not only tender, but also light and flaky.Like conventional recipes, this pie dough can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for two days; however, it is not sturdy enough to withstand freezing.6 tablespoons ice water 3 tablespoons sour cream 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 13 ounces (2 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons) ATK Gluten-Free Flour Blend (recipe below) 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces and frozen for 10 to 15 minutes Combine ice water, sour cream, and vinegar together in bowl.Process flour blend, sugar, salt, and xanthan gum together in food processor until combined, about 5 seconds.Scatter butter over top and pulse until crumbs look uniform and distinct pieces of butter are no longer visible, 20 to 30 pulses.Pour half of sour cream mixture over flour mixture and pulse to incorporate, about three pulses.Add remaining sour cream mixture and pulse until dough comes together in large pieces around blade, about 20 pulses.Divide dough into two even pieces.Turn each piece of dough onto sheet of plastic wrap and flatten each into 5-inch disk.Wrap each piece tightly in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.Before rolling out dough, let it sit on counter to soften slightly, about 30 minutes.(Dough can be wrapped tightly in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.) THE AMERICA\u2019S TEST KITCHEN GLUTEN-FREE FLOUR BLEND Makes 42 ounces (about 9 1/3 cups) It is important to bring the mix to room temperature before using it in a recipe.Be sure to use potato starch, not potato flour.Tapioca starch is also sold as tapioca flour; they are interchangeable.See notes at right about shopping for rice flours and substitutes for potato starch and nonfat dry milk powder.24 ounces (4 1/2 cups plus 1/3 cup) white rice flour 7 1/2 ounces (1 2/3 cups) brown rice flour 7 ounces (1 1/3 cups) potato starch 3 ounces (3/4 cup) tapioca starch 3/4 ounce (3 tablespoons) nonfat milk powder Whisk all ingredients together in large bowl until well combined.Transfer to airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 months.Nutrition information per serving: 506 calories; 227 calories from fat; 26 g fat (15 g saturated; 1 g trans fats); 63 mg cholesterol; 339 mg sodium; 70 g carbohydrate; 7 g fiber; 34 g sugar; 6 g protein.For more recipes, cooking tips and _ingredient and product reviews, visit https://www.americastestkitchen.com .Find more recipes like Blueberry Pie in \u201cThe How Can It Be Gluten-Free Cookbook.\u201d (The Associated Press) Page 12 Monday, June 11, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record How to make a juicy blueberry pie and keep your crust crisp "]
