have benefited from free care in this peaceful environment\u201d, underlined Luc Harbec, President of Au Diapason Foundation.\u201cWe must continue our collective efforts to ensure the sustainability of the activities of La Maison,\u201d he added.Au Diapason Foundation organizes four major annual fundraising activities; a golf tournament, a wine and cheese tasting event, a poinsettia sale and La Marche / La Course.La Maison Au Diapason recently created a memorial park for the families and loved ones of those who were cared for at the hospice.\u201cWe wanted to create a meaningful space

Diapason.\u201cWe sincerely thank the anonymous donor who made this project possible.I\u2019m certain families will appreciate this beautiful and peaceful park.\u201d  Inside the memorial park stands a stainless steel tree, created by artist and sculptor Mathieu Isabelle.Over the next few months, the names of those who spent their last days at La Maison since it opened will be engraved on the leaves of the tree.Families will be contacted for permission to include the name of their loved one.Some 300 dignitaries, members of the Boards of Au Diapason\u2019s organizations, donors, partners, employees, volunteers, families and friends gathered on Saturday for the inauguration of the memorial park, the commemorative ceremony and the launch of the fundraising campaign.\u201cThe event was a

husband, deceased in 2010, was her pillar in the days when women were not welcome as lawyers, let alone judges on the Supreme Court.She advocated equality for all, and achieved it.She was small in

electoral campaign, the Brome-Missisquoi Chamber of commerce (CCB-M), in association with the young members of the Massey-Vanier High School student council, will host an election meeting with the different political parties\u2019 representatives.The event, which will be held in French, will take place on Monday, Sept.17, 2018, at 7 p.m.in the Massey-Vanier High School Auditorium, at 222, Mercier Street, Cowansville.\u201cWe believe that all citizens, including members of the business community, the different organizations and the youth of Brome-Missisquoi will find this meeting an opportunity to meet with every candidate and hear what each of them has to say about our region\u2019s major issues,\u201d said Joannie Tardif, CCB-M\u2019s president.Furthermore, the collaboration with the student council with the CCB-M is significant, since today\u2019s youth could be tomorrow\u2019s entrepreneurs, and allows them to get involved in the democratic process, and raise awareness about different election issues, she added.The citizens of the Brome-Missisquoi territory, as well as the members of the business community, are welcome to suggest their questions by email, at

Unit 1451 is an off road emergency vehicle for fighting forest fires and for off road rescues.With the help of the Ministry of Public Security's ?nancial assistance program, and the participation of the MRC of Memphremagog, the municipality of Austin was able to obtain a considerable subsidy for the purchase of the vehicle.The Austin Fire?ghter's Association also made a ?nancial contribution towards the purchase of the vehicle.Austin Fire Department acquires new off road emergency vehicle Submitted by The Austin Fire Department By Matthew McCully According to Liberal Riding Association President Hardy Craft, MNA Pierre Paradis, who has represented the Brome Missisquoi riding for nearly four decades, will not run in the upcoming provincial election.Ingrid Marini, former Executive Director of Townshippers\u2019 Association will take up the Liberal banner in Brome Missisquoi.Paradis made the decision Friday, Craft said.\u201cHe\u2019s disappointed.He loves representing the people of Brome Missisquoi.He loves his job,\u201d commented Craft, explaining that Paradis is still feeling the effects of a head injury sustained at the end of 2016.\u201cFor the first six months, he couldn\u2019t even get out of bed for long,\u201d Craft said.In January, 2018, Craft said Paradis felt better and had the intention of returning to the National Assembly, but then he had a relapse.\u201cAt the meeting on Friday it wiped him out after a few hours.It was hard on him.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve been with Pierre since he started 38 years ago,\u201d commented Craft, explaining that regardless of the buzz, Paradis was the Liberal candidate in Brome Missisquoi until he heard otherwise from the man himself.\u201cHe knows even if he would like to he can\u2019t; he\u2019s not going to run,\u201d Craft said.\u201cThe important thing is that he will retire as a Liberal with his head held high.\u201d Coinciding with his medical leave from the National Assembly, Paradis was temporarily removed from the Liberal caucus and stripped of his role as Minister of Agriculture amid allegations of sexual misconduct from a former colleague.He was later accused of ethics violations by National Assembly Ethics Commissioner Ariane Mignolet, who suggested Paradis had misappropriated his housing allowance.Paradis was subsequently cleared of any sexual impropriety, and the report of his alleged ethics violations was rejected.The two politically damaging inquiries, both of which have since been discredited, only had legs because Paradis was off his feet, according to Craft.\u201cHe couldn\u2019t defend himself,\u201d Craft said.\u201cIf he had been in good health, this would have been over a long time ago,\u201d he commented.\u201cHe hasn\u2019t done a bad thing in his life,\u201d insisted Craft.He remembered back in the 1980s getting calls from journalists sniffing around for dirt on Paradis.\u201cYou have to be cleaner than clean,\u201d Craft said, to have had a political career spanning close to four decades.\u201cThere are good things happening at the end of the mandate,\u201d Craft added, explaining that even in convalescence, Paradis maintained his political savvy.\u201cHe couldn\u2019t announce he was not running again and then expect his dossiers to be completed,\u201d explained Craft, pointing to recent developments in the health sector in the region.The only project still on the table for Paradis was Highway 35 to connect Quebecers to the Vermont border rather than the narrow and winding route 133 currently being used.\u201cMaybe it\u2019s too big a project for Quebec,\u201d Craft said, explaining that the highway was supposed to be completed in time for Expo \u201967, so Paradis\u2019 inability to get it done shouldn\u2019t exactly count as a failure.\u201cAs things worked out, I think things are going to go very well,\u201d Craft said, referring to Ingrid Marini, who will run for the Liberals in Brome Missisquoi in the upcoming election.\u201cPierre is 68.His entourage is older,\u201d Craft said, explaining the Marini, in her early 40s, will bring in younger people.\u201cWe\u2019re happy with the result.I think Ingrid is a good candidate.\u201d According to Craft, both Marini and her mother have worked for Paradis in his offices over the years.Marini comes from several generations of farmers, Craft went on, adding that Paradis was a friend of her great grandfather.Marini\u2019s candidacy for the Liberal party will be announced officially on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.at the legion in Phillipsburg, Craft said.BromeCountyNews PAGE 6 T uesday , August 21, 2018 BromeCounty News Jesse Bryant Sales Manager Let our readers know about your products & services Tel.: 450-242-1188 Fax: 450-243-5155 email: jbryant@sherbrookerecord.com RECORD ARCHIVES Paradis to retire as a Liberal with head held high THE CANADIAN PRESS/JACQUES BOISSINOT MNA Pierre Paradis, who has represented the Brome Missisquoi riding for nearly four decades, announced on Friday that he will not run in the upcoming provincial election.Some 300 people turned out for Pierre Paradis' nomination meeting in February of 2007, as he launched bid to add another four years to his 27 as MNA for Brome-Missisquoi.He was sporting a sign with a slogan used by former Tory cabinet minister Heward Grafftey in a previous federal election campaign. By America\u2019S Test Kitchen Quick-cooking stir-fries are a natural choice for weeknight dinners.This one combines easy-prep ingredients with a levelled-up sauce made from Asian pantry staples.To save on time, use precut broccoli florets rather than fussing with a whole head of broccoli.For a crisp-ten- der texture and bright green colour, we steam the broccoli slightly in the skillet before sauteing it.You will need a 12- inch nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid for this recipe.Note that you\u2019ll need 1/2 cup of basil, so shop accordingly.Long-grain white, basmati, or Texmati rice can be substituted for the jasmine rice.STIR-FRIED CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI WITH HERBS AND SCALLION RICE Servings: 4 Start to finish: 45 minutes 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice Salt and pepper 1/4 cup oyster sauce 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 1 tablespoon Asian chili-garlic sauce 1 tablespoon fresh ginger 1/2 cup fresh basil 1/4 cup fresh mint 4 scallions 12 ounces broccoli florets 1 red bell pepper 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil Rinse rice in fine-mesh strainer until water runs clear.Bring rice, 2 1/4 cups water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to simmer in large saucepan over medium heat.Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 16 to 18 minutes.Remove pot from heat, lay clean folded dish towel underneath lid, and let sit for 10 minutes.While rice cooks, whisk 2 tablespoons water, oyster sauce, vinegar, and chili-garlic sauce together in small bowl; set aside.Peel and grate 1 tablespoon ginger.Chop 1/2 cup basil and 1/4 cup mint.Slice scallions thin.Cut broccoli florets into 1-inch pieces.Stem and seed bell pepper, then slice thin.Trim chicken, slice each breast in half lengthwise, then slice crosswise 1/4 inch thick.Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.Cook chicken until no longer pink, 1 to 2 minutes per side.Transfer to plate.Add 1 tablespoon oil to now-empty skillet and increase heat to high.Add broccoli and cook for 30 seconds.Add 1/3 cup water, cover, and reduce heat to medium.Steam broccoli until just tender, about 2 minutes.Uncover broccoli, stir in bell pepper, and cook until vegetables are tender and most of liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.Push vegetables to sides of skillet.Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil and ginger to centre and cook, mashing ginger into pan, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.Return cooked chicken, with any accumulated juices, to skillet and toss to combine.Stir in oyster sauce mixture and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.Off heat, stir in basil and mint.Fluff rice with fork and stir in scallions.Serve stir-fry over rice.Nutrition information per serving: 503 calories;

By Marialisa Calta Peaches, according to \"The Oxford Companion to Food,\" are an ancient fruit that originated in China and became so popular they traveled the world.Persians claimed them as \"Persian apples,\" and by the time of the American Revolution, even people in the United States thought they were native to this country.Alan Davidson, editor of the \"Oxford Companion,\" writes that peaches are the most celebrated fruit in literature, with the possible exception of the cherry.The Greek philosopher Theophrastus wrote about peaches, as did Pliny, Virgil, Emile Zola, T.S.Eliot and Mark Twain.Zola, apparently, was the originator of the \"peaches and cream\" description; he likened the complexions of the girls of southern France to that country's famous Montreuil peaches.Renoir and Picasso loved to paint this sensual fruit.When legendary French chef Auguste Escof?er wanted to honor soprano Nellie Melba, he did it with peaches (and gave us peach Melba to enjoy ever after).One of my favorite ways to enjoy peaches and cream is in homemade ice cream.The recipe below can't be beat.PEACH ICE CREAM Yield: 6 cups, or 12 servings 3 large egg yolks 3/4 cup sugar 2 cups heavy (whipping) cream 1/2 cup whole milk 5 medium peaches (1 3/4 to 2 pounds) 1 teaspoon almond extract Juice of half a lemon Fresh raspberries or sliced peaches, for serving (optional) In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the sugar.Set aside.Fill a large bowl halfway with ice and cold water.Set out a smaller bowl (with a minimum capacity of 2 quarts) that will ?t inside the larger bowl.In the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, heat the cream and milk until bubbles just begin to form on the surface.Do not let the mixture boil.Add about 1/2 cup of the hot cream to the egg yolk mixture and whisk briskly to combine.Stir yolk mixture into the remaining cream in the double boiler and whisk well.Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly with a stainless steel or wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon, about 5 minutes.Remove from the heat and pour into the smaller bowl that you have set out.Place this bowl into the prepared ice- water bath.Stir gently to cool the mixture.When the ice cream base is cooled to room temperature, cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight (recommended).Bring a pot of water to a boil.Meanwhile, use a sharp paring knife to cut an X in the bottom of the skin of each peach.Working in batches, plunge the peaches into the boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon and, when cool enough to handle, slip off the peels.Cut the peaches in half, remove and discard the pits, and cut the ?esh into 1/4-inch pieces.You should have about 2 cups of fruit.Sprinkle the peaches with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, the almond extract and lemon juice.Let the peaches sit at least 30 minutes at room temperature for the ?avors to blend.Puree half of the peaches in the bowl of a food processor or in a blender.Stir the peach puree into the chilled ice cream base.Then stir in the remaining cup of peach chunks.Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions.You can serve it immediately, or pack it into an airtight plastic container and freeze until ?rm, 3 to 4 hours.It will keep for several weeks in the freezer.Serve with sliced peaches or raspberries, if desired.Just peachy (and creamy) "]
