  This story tells of my pioneer colonist forebears and their arrival and settlement in Adelaide, South Australia, in 1838 after many difficult months at sea. They landed only a year after the proclamation of the city of Adelaide. At this time houses were made from reeds from the banks of Adelaide's Torrens River, the port of Adelaide was surrounded by swamp with the area referred to in  those early days as "Mudholia" or "Dustholia". During this time some colonial children mixed with local Aboriginal children, in some caeses learning part of their language. This story talks about Adelaide's rapid early development and in particular follows the fortunes of the illustrious Downer family.

  If you were sexually abused as a child or minor and its consequences still affect your life, read this. 
   
  You are no longer alone. For years, I didn’t understand the source of my anger. Past and present were tangled, leaving me feeling rejected and abandoned. To find clarity, I tried several therapeutic approaches, alone and in groups. The secret buried in my memory poisoned my life. All I wanted was to feel better, but I didn’t know how. 
   
  Years passed before I discovered the truth. My life felt like a windswept leaf—frustration and anger ruled me. It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom—overreacting to comments, without a job or money, asked to move out—that my body reminded me of the trauma I had buried: childhood sexual abuse. 
   
  Common behaviors among victims include: 
   
  Trust issues 
   
  Taking care of others at their own expense 
   
  Persistent anger or panic 
   
  Overreacting to remarks 
   
  Living aimlessly or trying to escape 
   
  Inability to focus on real needs or make decisions 
   
  Difficulty identifying priorities 
   
  Possible post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
   
  Talking about such pain is difficult, yet its effects often lead to destructive behavior. Joining a support group helped me understand that victims of childhood sexual abuse are survivors. Through readings and exercises with the group, I learned to recognize my wounds and name long-repressed emotions. 
   
  If you believe your life could be better without anger or shame, this book is for you.

  The Authentic Life of Billy the...

  Pat F. Garrett

  Of all firsthand accounts of lawlessness in the old Southwest, none is more fascinating than Pat F. Garrett's The Authentic Life of Billy, the Kid. It was first published in 1882, a year after Sheriff Garrett killed the Kid, "the bravest and most feared" gunman of the cattle war in Lincoln County, New Mexico. This book is at once the most authoritative biography of William H. Bonney and the foundation of the Billy the Kid legend.  
  Reputed to have killed his first man at the age of twelve, William Bonney went on to gun his way into Western legend as Billy the Kid. When he was killed at the age of twenty-one, the Kid was famous throughout the country as the boy who, so he boasted, had killed a man for every year of his life.  
  This is the story of William Bonney as told by the lawman who ended his notorious career. While explaining the public sympathy that people often accorded Bonney, Garrett challenges the glorified legends of the Kid with the genuine story of a reckless cowhand who became a hired gun. Combining the best elements of eyewitness history with the dramatic flair of a Western novel, this is the clearest account available of the career of a man some thought of as a murdering fiend and others as an American Robin Hood.

  Learning to Be Literate - More...

  There is not one right way to teach a child to read. 
   
   
   
  Recent media stories about education have featured the "Science of Reading," whose proponents typically present the systematic teaching of phonics as a one-size-fits-all method that guarantees reading success for all students. But as literacy scholars Patricia Paugh and Deborah MacPhee demonstrate, the decoding of words is only one of many skills that are central to an effective early literacy education. 
   
   
   
  In Learning to Be Literate, they present a four-part framework for active literacy learning that eschews oppositional arguments about different approaches, and instead situates children as meaning makers: the whole point of being literate. There is no single or simple solution that will fit every child. But by using the ALL framework to inform instruction, educators can help young learners think deeply about ideas and language at the same time as they learn to work out the sounds and symbol systems of language.
