"I have experience workcing on bebaif of the people in this region as schoal trustees and councillor which has belped me understand the probleins people are facing and how ta help salve their problems. The current NDP government bas hurt aur economny in many ways. They have flot Durham East been friendly ta business."

A Tributle to Llew HaIlowell Llewellyn (Llew) Maurice HALLOWELL One of four children born ta Silas George Hallowell and Mary Ann (Henry) Hallowell, Llew Hallawell was born November 10, 1903 in the Starkville home tliat bis father built. Predeceased by his siblings, Norma, Beulah and Sidney, Llew Hallowell died suddenly at is birth home on the stormy eve of April 2lst, 1995. Llew lived most of bis life an the family farm, yet bc was flot a man without global insight nor without faresigbt. His patient care for, the land and bis unassuming concemn for others were natural extensions of bis love of family and community. And, like the trees he planted before reforestation was a fashianable cancern, Llew stands fîrm and tail aniong bis peers. Following completion of bis elementary schooling at Starkville's one-room scbool- bouse, Llew commuted by train from Starkville Station ta Orono where he boarded during the week wbile attending Orono Higb Schaal. As a very young man, Llew was among the thausands of men who journeyed by train on the annual "Harvest Excursion" ta western Canada wbere he worked in the vast fields of grain. Around tbe age of seventeen, Llew took bis first full-time job at the Hydro offices in Toronto. Later, he worked for several years on construction of bydro transmission limes. Llew bad many'fond memories of bis years in Dunsford wbere be managed a crew of men wha trapped muskrat. Among bis favourite pastimes was skating for miles on the Emily River with the skates bis father made. Llew, bowever, was destined ta retumn ta the family farm and on November 24, 1934, Llew married bis life-long pantner, Ada (Falls) at the Newtonville parsonage.

Llew liked ta explore bis regian, occasionally happening upon military manoeuvres in the Ganaraska Forest area during WWII, wbere, ironically, he saw bis first cbainsaw. His local excursions made tbe stuff of bis best stories whicb were ricb witb the characters and events of bis community. H1e could even tell bis great-grandchildren individual stories about many of the trees he planted on the roling bilis of the Hallowell farm. Llew was an avid reader, expanding bis interest in local bistory to that of the nation and beyond his country's borders. LIew applied bis home-spun learning ta the crossword puzzles which he enjoyed and always completed. For the farm, Llew wouldn't huy yesterday's ideas; instead, be was interested in tomorrow's, as he sought new technologies to aid in hi s life's work which he undertook with patience and diligence. Llew was a 'homebody' who, along with his wife, Ada, most enjoyed the company of family, friends and neighbours, playing cards and entertaining tbem witb his one-liners and always at-the- ready with a proverb. Llew expressed a global interest, in language and people, and could relate to anyone simply by heing interested in who they were and where tbey came from. In August, 1990, a tornado swept tbrough the Hallowell farm. Llew stootu firm in the house in which he was born as some of the trees he bad planted more than fifty years before flew by bis window. No force could, easily shift Llew from his home, until Friday, April 21, 1995 wben he would leave it suddenly and peacefully.. a genuinely good man of the 20tb Century.
