Belleville, on the shores of the Bay of Quinte, traces its beginnings to the arrival of the United Empire Loyalists. For 30 years the centre of the present city was reserved for the Mississauga First Nation. White settlers who built dwellings and businesses on the land paid annual rent to them until the land was 'surrendered' and a town plot laid out in 1816. The new town quickly became an important lumbering, farming, and manufacturing centre. Early influences include the Marmora Iron Works of the 1820s, the first railway in 1856, Ontario's first gold rush in 1866, and prominent citizens such as noted pioneer author Susanna Moodie and Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Canada's fifth prime minister. This is a personal history of Belleville, based on Gerry Boyce's half-century of research. Embedded throughout are interesting and obscure stories about scandals, murders, and hauntings - the underbelly of the growth of a city.

Self Control and Anger Management Lessons for Middle and High School Students

Introduction If I'd participated in lessons like the ones in this manual when I was the age of your students I know I would have lived a healthier and happier life. I was one of those youngsters who grew up in a family that denied not only the importance of feelings but usually feelings themselves, especially uncomfortable ones. Yet, our feelings are the prime movers of our choices and actions. Looking back I recall that just about everyone in my family and at school frequently lived in a state of unrest. They had axes to grind--things to complain about. They were annoyed Sometimes they were hateful and harsh with their words. Yet from the outside everyone thought our family was about as normal and good as a family could get. All of us did, in fact, love each other. We just put our anger first too many times. My junior high and senior high schools were also considered normal, "a cut-above" actually, but I remember very little joy and a lot of fear, hurt and shame. I realize now how much I was influenced by this general discontent and pervasive anger. I grew up assuming that spreading gossip, fighting, holding grudges, protesting anything I didn't like and planning ways to get even were just what you did Life wasn't normal unless you had a good, strong aggravation going about something or someone. Did you have similar experiences? Are your students caught up in this kind of world? Some people are lucky. They're born into, and surrounded by, great circumstances and great models. But many others aren't. The fact is that many of us have, or had, anger habits that started early in our lives--habits we didn't even know we had. Inevitably, this means few skills in self control and anger management will develop. The result: troubles and misery as life unfolds. If you'd told me a few decades ago that I had an anger habit I would have either denied it or said, "No big deal--so what? Who doesn't?" But that kind of blindness wasn't working very well for me. At a certain point I realized it and started to make some deliberate changes. I still struggle with my own anger at times but I've also recognized it for what it is. I became more self-honest. I've been working on understanding how anger operates and developing skills to use it instead of letting it control and use me. I took courses in psychology and wound up with a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology which focuses on how people are affected by their experiences as they navigate through each stage of life. I went to some helpful counselors and I read a lot of excellent books. For the last ten years I've taught Anger and Conflict Management at Clark College in Vancouver, Washington using the text, Anger and Conflict Management: Personal Handbook. Developing self control and learning how to manage anger leads us out of a dark world into a new one we've lit up ourselves. It's a world with healthy relationships, fun, more friends and enjoyment--also some detachment when it comes to difficult situations. I'm living in that world most of the time now and I seek more company. I wrote this manual with its 20 lessons specifically to help you lead your students through a learning process that can place them on the road to Positive Personal Power

The concept of elder abuse and neglect as a social problem continues to remain illusive. A major impediment has been the absence of research and clear definition of the problem, and a book which summarizes what is known about elder abuse has been needed for a long time. Drawing on examples from the US and the UK, this book is a contribution to research and information currently available.
Falls Road looks completely different now from when Gerry Adams was a child living on it. Many of the businesses, houses, and landmarks have been demolished in favor of new developments. Even when Adams first wrote his memoir of Falls Road in 1982, many of these places were still around-a point Adams makes very clearly in his foreword to this most recent edition.

Through the innovative methodology of asking them to record their experiences on videotape, this book offers an evocative and fascinating cross-cultural exploration into the everyday lives of a number of teenage girls from their own broad social, cultural and ethnic perspectives. The use of the video camera by the girls themselves reveals their exploration and experimentation with possible identities, highlighting their awareness that the self is not ready made but rather constituted in the process of continuous performance. The result is an active self-conscious exploration of the continuous "art" of self-making. Through their play, the teenagers are shown to strategically test out various possibilities, while keeping such explorations within the bounds of what is acceptable and permissible in their own micro-cultural worlds. The resulting material challenges previous findings in those feminist and youth anthropological studies based on too narrow a concept of class, ethnicity or populist approaches to culture.
