Port Dalhousie started out as a farming and fishing settlement at the mouth of Twelve Mile Creek at what would become the northern terminus of the First Welland Canal. Throughout the 19th century, it prospered and grew into a village and then a town, but fell into a gradual decline due to: the opening of the Fourth Welland Canal in Port Weller three miles to the east in 1932; the end of passenger ship service in 1950; and the closing of the popular Lakeside Park in 1971. In 1961 it was incorporated into the City of St. Catharines and, in 1974, woke up to a resurgence of pride in a community that discovered its incredible history. Many of those residents who had lived through the earliest of these times, were still alive when the interviews herein were first being recorded. Though the forty-some interviews contained within add personal colour, humour and passion to the story that is Port Dalhousie, the historical account would not be complete without a narrative that defines the eras that this settlement, village and town passed through on the way to becoming what it is today. This history begins at the close of the 18th century and carries on to the early 1960s when it ceased being a town and became a suburb of the City of St. Catharines. The many who remember the days prior to amalgamation, and even many newcomers, identify with living in Port Dalhousie; or as the old-timers would say “Pordaloozie” [more]

The sway of her hips was echoed in the movement of her dress and the swell of her breasts, whilst her hair bounced in ribbons of curls that flowed down her back before stopping between her shoulder blades. The very air around her seemed to part as she drifted through the world rather than be any part of it, closing behind her like an impenetrable door that could only be opened by the key of this fanciful imaginary paradise that Simon’s psyche was now creating. “Beautiful isn’t she.” Said Ruby. Paige lives in a world of silence, a silence that is about to be shattered. Not by the young man who had gained her affections with his clumsy attempts at sign language. Or her brother Martin who, even though locked in a loveless marriage still remained her rock, but someone else. Someone she has never met. Someone who lives in the shadows. This is the second story in the 'Seductive Reasoning' series. [more]

We Know Next To Nothing Of Man's Greatest Achievements. His Written History Is The History Of Yesterday, And Leaves Him Very Much The Same Being As It Finds Him, With The Same Habits, The Same Prejudices, And Only Slightly Enhanced Powers. The Greatest And Most Significant Advances Were Prehistoric. What Invention, Of Which Any Record Remains, Can Compare In Importance With The Invention Of Speech; And What Day In The World's History Is More Worthy Of Celebration Than That Day, The Birthday Of Thought And Truth, When A Sound, Uttered By The Breath, From Being The Expression Of A Feeling Became The Mark Of A Thing? The Man Who First Embarked On The Sea Has Been Praised For The Triple Armour Of His Courage; But He Must Be Content With Praise; His Biography Will Never Be Written. The North American Indians Are Reckoned A Primitive People, But When First They Come Under The Notice Of History They Bring With Them One Of The Most Perfect Of Human Inventions--The Birch-Bark Canoe. What Centuries Of Dreams And Struggles And Rash Adventures Went To The Inventing And Perfecting Of That Frail Boat? What Forgotten Names Deserve Honour For The Invention Of The Paddle And The Sail? The Whole Story Is Beyond Recovery In The Rapidly Closing Backward Perspective Of Time. Man's Eyes Are Set In His Head So That He May Go Forward, And While He Is Healthy And Alert He Does Not Trouble To Look Behind Him. If The Beginnings Of European Civilization Are Rightly Traced To Certain Tribes Of Amphibious Dwellers On The Coast Of The Mediterranean, Who Reared The Piles Of Their Houses In The Water, And So Escaped The Greater Perils Of The Land, Then Some Sort Of Rudimentary Navigation Was The First Condition Of Human Progress, And Sea-Power, Which Defies The Devastators Of Continents, Had Earlier Prophets Than Admiral Mahan. But The Memory Of These Thousands Of Years Has Passed Like A Watch In The Night. [more]

Writing is my emotional outlet. When my walls are closing in on me so much that I can’t breathe anymore, I grab my pen and start putting everything in words. Writing about my feelings and thoughts, to me, makes them real and thus helps me identify them, address them, talk about them, and sometimes even accept them. Although I am aided majorly by therapy and proper medication, I firmly believe that writing is as significant to my stability and high functionality as they are. It makes me feel in control of my monsters, even if temporarily. This is basically why I am releasing this book into the universe. I’ve always kept my writings private and rarely shared then with anyone, but I decided I want others, similar to or different from myself, to connect to it and benefit from it. If I can help one person feel less alone or more encouraged after reading any of my pieces, then I can honestly and happily declare that this book has served its purpose in full. If I am able, through my writing, to help one person reach out to someone who has mental difficulties and genuinely try to help them have an easier life, then I can confidently say that all the pain that ensued from the process is definitely totally and utterly worth it. Whoever and wherever you are, I do not pray that you find your passion, but that you find what can help you keep your demons tame and quiet for as long as possible. [more]

It Was Always A Matter Of Wonder To Vandover That He Was Able To Recall So Little Of His Past Life. With The Exception Of The Most Recent Events He Could Remember Nothing Connectedly. What He At First Imagined To Be The Story Of His Life, On Closer Inspection Turned Out To Be But A Few Disconnected Incidents That His Memory Had Preserved With The Greatest Capriciousness, Absolutely Independent Of Their Importance. One Of These Incidents Might Be A Great Sorrow, A Tragedy, A Death In His Family; And Another, Recalled With The Same Vividness, The Same Accuracy Of Detail, Might Be A Matter Of The Least Moment. A Certain One Of These Wilful Fillips Of Memory Would Always Bring Before Him A Particular Scene During The Migration Of His Family From Boston To Their New Home In San Francisco, At A Time When Vandover Was About Eight Years Old. It Was In The Depot Of One Of The Larger Towns In Western New York. The Day Had Been Hot And After The Long Ride On The Crowded Day Coach The Cool Shadow Under The Curved Roof Of The Immense Iron Vaulted Depot Seemed Very Pleasant. The Porter, The Brakeman And Vandover's Father Very Carefully Lifted His Mother From The Car. She Was Lying Back On Pillows In A Long Steamer Chair. The Three Men Let The Chair Slowly Down, The Brakeman Went Away, But The Porter Remained, Taking Off His Cap And Wiping His Forehead With The Back Of His Left Hand, Which In Turn He Wiped Against The Pink Palm Of His Right. The Other Train, The Train To Which They Were To Change, Had Not Yet Arrived. It Was Rather Still; At The Far End Of The Depot A Locomotive, Sitting Back On Its Motionless Drivers Like Some Huge Sphinx Crouching Along The Rails, Was Steaming Quietly, Drawing Long Breaths. The Repair Gang In Greasy Caps And Spotted Blue Overalls Were Inspecting The Train, Pottering About The Trucks, Opening And Closing The Journal-Boxes, Striking Clear Notes On The Wheels With Long-Handled Hammers.

The Great Events Which Took Place In The United States Between The First Election Of President Lincoln And The Accession Of President Johnson Excited An Amount Of Party-Spirit In England Greater Than I Recollect In Connection With Any Other Non-English Occurrences, And Fairly Proportionate Even To That Supreme Form Of Party-Spirit Which The Same Events Produced In The States Themselves,--The Party-Spirit Which, In Hostile And Closing Ranks, Clenches Teeth And Sets Life At Nought, Seeing No Alternative, No Possibility, Save This One Only, To Carry Its Point Or Die. "I Am A Northerner," And "I Am A Southerner," Were, During The War, Phrases As Common On Englishmen's Lips As "I Am A Liberal" Or "A Conservative," "I Am A Protectionist" (This, Indeed, Has About Become Obsolete) Or "A Free-Trader." It Would Be Very Far From Correct To Say That This Party-Spirit Has Yet Subsided In England; Highly Important Questions, Personal And Political, Remain In Ample Abundance To Keep It Lively; But We Have At Any Rate Reached A Point At Which One May Try To Discuss The Past Phases Of Our Partisanship, Not In The Temper Of A Partisan. My Endeavor In The Following Pages Will Be To Do This,--Very Imperfectly, Beyond A Doubt, But, As Far As It Goes, Candidly And Without Disguise. The Writer Must In The First Instance, In Order That His Remarks May Be Accurately Judged By The Reader, Essay To Define His Own Position And The Sphere Within Which His Observations Extend. He Is A Born And Bred Englishman And Londoner, Of Parentage Partly Italian. His Professional Employment Is That Of A Government Clerk, Of Fair Average Standing; He Is Also Occupied A Good Deal In Writing For Publication, Chiefly Upon Subjects Of Fine Art. His Circle Of Personal Intimacy And Acquaintanceship Is Mainly Made Up Of Artists And Literary Men, Including Especially Several Of Those Who Have Made Themselves Most Prominent In These Classes Within The Last Twenty Years; And This Acquaintanceship Shades Naturally Off, In A Minor And Moderate Degree, Into Those Circles Of Good Social Standing Which Are Rather Liberally Receptive Than Productive Of Literature And Art. The Writer Cannot Profess Or Affect To Be "Behind The Scenes" Of Political Parties, Or To Have Dived Into The Minds Of The Peerage Over Their Wine Or Of Artisans In Their Workshops. [more]
