Let $ABC$ be a triangle, and let $E$, $F$ be the feet of the altitudes from $B$ and $C$ to sides $AC$ and $AB$, respectively. Let $P$ and $Q$ be the intersections of $EF$ with the tangents from $B$ and $C$ to $(ABC)$, respectively. If $M$ is the midpoint of $BC$, prove that $(PQM)$ is tangent to $BC$ at $M$.
