exclude from the budget, amortization expenses pertaining to tangible capital

assets, post-employment benefit expenses and solid waste landfill closure and

post-closure expenses.

Admaston/Bromley Council recognizes the impact on the 2019 budget of the

2018 amortization expense for our tangible capital assets. Conscious of the

impact, Council has decided not to include amortization costs in the

determination of the 2019 levy requirement for Municipal purposes. Unfunded

post-employment benefit expenses for payout in a future year as well as the

unfunded landfill closure and post closure costs will not be included in the 2019

budget documentation.

The Township of Admaston/Bromley developed and included within its 2019

budget the following:

1. The budget contained transfers from reserves for the renewal and

acquisition of its current tangible capital assets.

In developing its budget for the year 2019, Admaston/Bromley excluded

unfunded post-employment benefits comprised of accrued sick leave, which

at the end of December 31, 2018 amounted to $53,671.44. It is estimated that

the unfunded post-employment benefits for 2018 in the amount of $53,671.44

is representative of what the unfunded post-employment benefits will be at the

end of 2019. Admaston/Bromley also excluded unfunded landfill closure and

post closure costs from its budget for the year 2019. It is estimated that the

unfunded landfill closure and post closure costs, which at the end of 2018

amounted to $683,000 is representative of what the unfunded landfill closure

and post closure costs will be at the end of 2019.

Any increase in post-employment expenses or landfill closure and post

closure costs at the end of 2019 will reduce the accumulated surplus.

At the end of December 2018 the accumulated surplus was comprised of:

Equity in tangible capital assets $ 12,409,365

Reserves 428,843

General Surplus 135,357

Douglas Fire Department Deficit (2,405)

Admaston/Bromley St. Michael`s Library Surplus 3,887

Unfunded – landfill closure & post closure costs (683,000)

Total accumulated surplus $ 12,292,047

April 29, 2019 The Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario Legislative Building, Queens Park Toronto, ON M7A 1A1 Sent via email: [email protected] The Honourable Christine Elliott Deputy Premier and Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Hepburn Block 10th Floor 80 Grosvenor Street Toronto, ON M7A 1E9 Sent via email: [email protected] Dear Premier Ford and Minister Elliott, During a special board meeting on April 24, 2019, the Board of Health for the Renfrew County and District Health Unit reviewed the budget tabled by the government of Ontario on April 11, 2019, with regard to the proposed changes to local public health. We are writing to express the views of the board members regarding the implications to the public health system. Transformation of the system is planned for the immediate future, including the consolidation of public health units from 35 down to 10. The board asks the province to stop the planned reduction from 35 Health Units to 10. As well, the funding arrangement between the Province and the municipalities is under review. We ask that the Province maintain the current 75 percent provincial, 25 percent municipal funding for Renfrew County and District Health Unit. The recently announced provincial funding reduction will have a devastating effect on the health of the residents of Renfrew County and District. The board understands these changes have been announced in response to achieving efficiencies while increasing responsiveness to local public health needs.

The board asks the provincial government reconsider the funding reduction, as this will challenge our ability to continue to provide these essential services within our community. The Province will soon begin consultations with individual boards of health and health units regarding the transition details from 35 health units to 10. The board, however, requests the Province of Ontario maintain the health protection and health promotion mandate of Renfrew County and District Health Unit. The Board asks the Province of Ontario to recognize the vast distance and lack of homogeneity in Ontario. The Province must ensure that distances are manageable and that public health units are not overwhelmed because they are providing service to areas that are too large and vast. The board in respect to public health restructuring affirms support of the Province of Ontario in implementing a common governance model for existing public health units. We request that consultations on this model begin immediately and do appreciate the opportunity to participate in this process. Additionally, the board asks the Province to ensure this change in public health governance and organization is as effective and efficient as possible, while maintaining the strong public health presence and impact in our community. The board considers these specific issues of significant importance during a potential restructuring process:

• Guarantee that service levels to our community will be maintained, with no service losses nor reduction to quality.

• Ensure meaningful involvement by the community throughout the change

process.

• Improve the effectiveness of collaboration by grouping similar health unit populations together.

• Provide equitable access to lost administrative ”back office” positions within the

new Regional Public Health Entity for all current employees, through a fair competition process.

• Establish “back office” support services that are of equal quality or superior

standards to those systems currently in place.

EIGHTH ANNUAL DAN GORMAN MEMORIAL TALK

Mary Alexandra Bell EastlakeImpressionist Portrait Painter(Born: Douglas, Ontario, 1864)

HER CAREER, LIFE & TIMES, FAMILY & FRIENDS

SPEAKER: MICHAEL AGNEW

Sunday, May 19th, 2019, 2:00 pmOld Town Hall, 498 Micksburg Road, OsceolaSponsored by the Bromley Historical Society

DANIEL JOSEPH GORMAN, 1930-2011Born on a pioneer farm in the Pine Valley, Dan was the son of Lawrence and Ella (Enright) Gorman and third of five children. Dan’s great grandfather Peter came over from Ireland as a teenager with his father John in 1835. Dan’s grandfather Michael Peter established the farm where Dan’s father and Dan himself were born and raised. Dan attended St. Michael’s Parish in Douglas (where he is buried).

After attending the Pine Valley school, Dan attended high school in Cobden and then McGill University, obtaining his Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering in 1957. He went on to Syracuse University as a graduate student and worked as a reactor operator for Atomic Energy of Canada in Deep River. There he met and married his wife Sandra. He was Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ottawa for 25 years. He authored several books and articles in various engineering journals, traveled the world attending professional conferences and spent time in India for the United Nations. Upon retirement, he was named Professor Emeritus.

Despite his world travels and professional accolades, Dan remained a humble man. He felt most at home riding his bicycle along local country roads and sitting by the water at the cottage looking across the lake toward Pine Valley, the place of his birth.

THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGEWe welcome Michael Agnew as our guest speaker for the first event of our Society in 2019. Michael, who was born in Douglas, will talk about the life of Mary Alexandra Bell Eastlake, who was also born in the same village and who went onto to become an internationally known Impressionist artist. I am looking forward to this event, particularly as this annual memorial event honours yet another Douglas area-born person, Dan Gorman.

All of our members are warmly invited and I hope they will attend this presentation. It is an opportunity to learn more a prominent woman whose roots are firmly planted in our corner of the Ottawa Valley. It will also be an occasion to socialize with your neighbours. Prior to his address, a short Annual General Meeting will take place.

I look forward to seeing you there. Andy Laird

OUR GUEST SPEAKER – MICHAEL AGNEWMichael Agnew grew up in the Douglas area. After graduating from the University of Waterloo, he held progressively responsible positions in project management and management of operations in the metals industry. He was Senior Vice President, Technology for both Noranda Inc. and Falconbridge Ltd., two large international mining and metallurgical companies based in Canada.

For more than ten years now, he has been semi-retired and working as a consultant for several projects and operations in Canada, and other countries, while serving on two boards of directors. The reduced and more flexible working hours has allowed him time for vacation travel, to spend extended time at his chalet near Douglas, and to pursue his other interests.

He is a member of the Order of Engineers of Quebec, a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and is a member of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers.

Mary Alexandra Bell was born in Douglas in 1864. After studying art in Montreal, New York and Paris, she achieved international acclaim as an impressionist portrait painter. She was the first Canadian-born woman to be a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Art, RCA. Her work was well received at the salon expositions in Paris and London where it was always hung “on the line”, that is, at eye level on the salon wall (where art works were placed form floor to ceiling).

Her parents, Andrew W. Bell and Marianne Rosamond Bell, lived in Douglas for about eight years. Andrew, a civil engineer, was responsible for the civil, structural and architectural design and construction of the Rosamond Mill (later Campbell and McNab), and he managed its operation through the commissioning and start-up years. In addition, he developed an ambitious town plan for his uncle, John Glass Malloch, the dominant land owner in Douglas.

After Douglas was passed over to be the seat of government for Renfrew County in 1864, the prospects for major civil works in Douglas seemed limited. Mary Alexandra’s family moved, first to Almonte, and then to St Andrew’s East in Quebec.

As an artist Mary Alexandra was based in England and travelled throughout Europe, New Zealand, Tahiti, and Japan. While she did not maintain a contact with Douglas, the records show that whenever asked for biographical information, she always proudly gave “Douglas” as her birthplace.

Douglas Origins: The Bell and Malloch Familiesby Michael Agnew

Mary Alexandra Bell Eastlake was an acclaimed impressionist portrait painter. She was born in Douglas, Ontario, in 1864 and although she lived in the village for less than three years, her extended family had long roots in the origins of the village.

The uncle of her father, Andrew Wilson Bell, was John Glass Malloch who was a travelling judge from Perth, Lanark County. Judge Malloch persuaded Third Chute resident William Groves to convert his spacious house on the Bonnechere River into a hotel in order to have accommodations and to hold court.

Later, between 1848 and 1853, Judge Malloch acquired most of the land in and around the Third Chute on the Bonnechere River and had a town plan prepared – the first town plan in Renfrew County. He called the pioneer community “Douglas” after the ancestral home of the family of his deceased wife, Isabella Bell. He gave most of the streets in the new villages the names of family members. One street named in honour of his deceased wife, Isabella, still exists today.

Following graduation from Queens University, Kingston, Andrew Bell was articled to Mr. William Syles as a student of Civil Engineering. In 1854 he worked as a rod-man on the Brockville to Ottawa Railway. In 1857, he purchased lot #243 on Mill Street (now Emeline Street) in Douglas. The following year, 1858, he married Marian Rosamond in Lanark County and in c.1859 moved into a house which her father, James Rosamond, had purchased from Judge Malloch at Lot #238 on Mill Street in Douglas. It was in this house that three of the couple’s children were born - Rosalind (Linda) Margret Bell in 1859, Helen (Molly) Eliza Bell in 1863, and Mary (Minnie) Alexandra Bell in 1864, the future artist.

The Bell family moved to Almonte about.1866, however; their presence in Douglas continued to be felt as in March 1859 Andrew Bell had completed the surveyed town plan for Douglas, including major civil works. In 1860, the

construction on the flour mill in Douglas, which belonged to James Rosamond, was completed. Andrew was the Engineer in Residence and designed the beautiful stone architecture. His brother George was the first clerk at the mill. The mill remained in the Rosamond family until c.1879 when it was sold to Robert Campbell and Alexander McNab.

Renfrew County and Bromley Township were incorporated in 1861 and a competition began between Douglas and Pembroke to be the seat of county government. Three years later, Pembroke was chosen so Andrew’s plans for major civil works in Douglas were never realised. The rumour was that bribery was involved in the selection of Pembroke (one says a pig was given, another says it was a bottle of rye). Although Douglas is at the geographic center of Renfrew County, and, therefore, was most favoured, and although John G. Malloch offered free land for municipal buildings, his monopoly on the land holdings at Douglas was probably a factor in selecting Pembroke.

On December 7, 1873, Judge Malloch died. The land he purchased at Douglas before 1853 was sold from his estate over the next 40 years. Most of the lots surveyed by Andrew W. Bell in 1859 were simply used as farmland, but the surveyed street allowances could not be purchased, being declared public lands. This caused concerns for the farmers and future land owners.For almost 125 years, the mill in Douglas continued to operate despite its history of fires. In 1896 and 1920 the mill burned, but the stone work was saved allowing it to be re-built. But a fire in 1983 completely destroyed the beautiful stone structure that Andrew had designed, which had stood as a link to Douglas’ founding families.

The Bell Families in DouglasBy Michael Agnew

Bell is a common Scottish name. St Andrew is the patron Saint of Scotland. So it is common to find the name Andrew Bell in multiple families and over multiple generations. It is still surprising to find two Andrew Bell’s in the small pioneer village of Douglas, Ontario at the time of the 1861 census. Further, both were 26 years old in 1861, both were born in Ontario, and both had the middle initial “W” which most likely stood for Wilson in both cases.

One Andrew W. Bell, son of Rev. Andrew Bell and grandson of the Rev. William Bell, was a civil engineer, graduate of Queen’s University in 1853 and married Marianne (or Marian or May Ann) Rosamond, daughter of James Rosamond of Almonte, Ontario. They lived in Douglas after their marriage in 1858 until about 1865 when they moved, first to Almonte, and then to St Andrews East, Quebec. From about.1858 until roughly.1865, they lived on Mill Street (now Emeline St.) in

a house which belonged to Marian’s father James Rosamond. However, James never actually lived in Douglas although he financed the construction of the mill in Douglas in 1859. The location of that house was excavated for the construction of the railway in about 1891. Three daughters were born in Douglas, then a daughter and a son in Almonte and finally a daughter and a son in St Andrews East, Quebec. They children were Rosalind (Linda), Helen (Molly), Mary (Minnie), Margret, Andrew, Alice Maud (Marion), and James Abbott McIntosh, in that order.

The other Andrew W. Bell was a merchant who married Jane Anderson Gibb in Horton on July 27, 1857. She was born in Scotland and was living in White Lake, Ontario at the time of the marriage. Andrew was living in Eganville and may have been the Post Master. Jane purchased the house on the south-east corner of Church and Queen Streets in Douglas, Ontario on February 15, 1862. They were already residents in Douglas at the time of the 1861 census. The Bells owned this house until 1888, when it appears to have been sold from her estate. But they had moved from Douglas long before. This is a 1-1/2 story log house on a quarried stone foundation which still stands and was renovated by the current owner. Two daughters were probably born in Douglas: Margret Hope, and Jane Isabella. Andrew’s business was at the south east corner of Queen and Hill Streets (note that Hill St. was never opened on the east side of Queen St.). This store was operated until the 1960s, the last operator being Ms. Dorothy Purdy. Andrew was the Post Master in Douglas until 1867. The Bells did not own the store but Jane purchased the lot immediately south of Andrew’s store, probably in 1861. They registered the purchase of this lot only at the time that they sold it, which has resulted in some confusion about the date of purchase. In 1867, Andrew resigned as Post Master in Douglas and the Bells moved to Newburg, Ontario where their daughter Clementine Bell was born that year.
