(via Heavy Police Presence At Goderich Courthouse #ObesePolice) (Goderich, Ontario) The look of terror in the judge’s eyes as he sheepishly slinked into the courtroom was apparent. Several morbidly obese police filled the room.

"SIX YEARS FOR SON WHO SLEW HIS FATHER," Toronto Star. November 26, 1913. Page 4. ---- Robert Gordon Sent to Kingston For Manslaughter-Blow Dealt in Quarrel. ---- Canadian Press Despatch. Goderich, Ont., Nov. 26 - Six years in Kingston Penitentiary was the sentence passed upon Robert Gordon at the Huron County Assizes this morning for the killing of his father, Hugh Gordon, a well-known farmer of the township of McKillop, on the 23rd of April last. The Grand Jury brought in a true bill for murder, but by an agreement between the Crown prosecutor, Mr. Dudley Holmes, K.C., of Wingham, and counsel for the prisoner, the indictment was changed to manslaughter, and the prisoner pleaded guilty.

Robert Gordon and his father, Hugh Gordon, had been plowing on their farm on the day of the tragedy, and on drawing his team into their barn the young Cordon struck one of the horses with a strap. This angered the father, who rushed at the son, and the latter picked up an iron bar and dealt his father a fatal blow on the head. An aunt and two sisters of the young man are left on the farm without a male relative.

[Gordon was 30, married, from McKillop Township in Huron County, and a farmer with no previous record. The crime was one of passion and accidental death - hence the manslaughter. He was convict #F-695 at Kingston Penitentiary, and worked on the farm. He was never reported and was paroled in 1915.]

AUGUST 23

Between Goderich and Kincardine,

Lake Huron

Great Lakes

Ontario

Can’t see the Sunset for cloud

Today we had rain and thunder storms.  The lake was completely calm early this morning in fact it was the flattest I have ever seen it and I thought ah, I will be able to swim today.  But first I sat down to meditate by the lake, using a red plastic chair, sheltered under an awning and fellow swimmer swam out so far he was just a dot on the lake.  Then the slight drizzle got more intense and as he left the lakeside the rain began in earnest.  First heavy and then in a trice torrential and although I tried to stay and meditate, the rain was coming in so I moved farther back.  Then as it poured a drip began from the awning right onto my head and my hood was rapidly wet, so I gave up and took the path back up to the cottage and went and meditated peacefully in my room.

Later that morning watching the thunder that rolled in and counting the seconds between lightning and thunder I saw white lightning strike the lake at the horizon straight from the thunder clouds.  I wouldn’t have missed it.  Lightning on Lake Huron!

The fields were drenched.

Next day:

It’s raining on Lake Huron.  The washing and swimsuits and towels on the line strung between two huge pine trees is not getting any drier. 

Its evening now and yesterday I achieved a best:  I won my first ever game of five pin bowling.  I beat everyone, much to everyone’s amazement.  It was simply a great feeling to be the best at something, no matter how insignificant or how transitory.  It was a laugh.  I just remembered my Dad bowling beautifully almost making it graceful and tried to follow suit and it seemed to work somehow.

Then I went to see a piece of wonderful Canadian theatre at a very small place called Blyth which when it is not performing outdoors performs in the local town hall which looks like a museum or church or a cross between, a beautiful piece of architecture.

Today’s swim was good, the water is fresh but manageable, but I was able to swim up and down without being knocked over by the waves or swept off my feet by the current.  It takes some time to get used to swimming on one of the Great Lakes.

Today I went for a walk up the dirt road that leads in here through farmer’s fields that stretch for as far as you can see on either side.  They grow vegetable crops but without hedges or fences just a bunch of trees might signify the end of one field.  Either side of the track are a wide selection of beautiful summer flowers.  We collected one of each kind only.  There was the golden rod and the meadowsweet, black- eyed-susan, toadflax, vetch, purple thistle, pink clover, scabious and a blue flower and a shaking grass.  They were in the most beautiful clumps almost painted on and in such delicacy. So much colour.

The sun is hiding tonight but the lake is flat with no waves.

I noticed a few posts about The Continent and wanted to add that on the book cover is an edited photo of a mosque. It's literally the first one if you Google "The Blue Mosque." Several Muslim readers commented about this at the time, but nobody cared. Maybe now that it's 2023, someone will care how hurtful, disrespectful, and Islamophobic it is to have an IRL mosque on your book cover, upside-down, as an evil building. We're not even humans to them, they just take our things without a care.

Wow, thanks for this additional info, that is absolutely terrible.

For context, the cover...

And since I didn't include it on the original post, here's the PM deal, by Jim McCarthy, to Natashya Wilson (who is now a freelance editor)...

"BURGLARS SENTENCED." Toronto Globe. April 7, 1913. Page 3. --- Thos. Murphy Gets Twelve Years, Edward Burling Four. ---- Goderich, April 5. - Thomas Murphy was found guilty of burglaries at Brussels, Seaforth and Harriston and was sentenced this morning by Judge Holt to twelve years in Kingston penitentiary.

Edward Burling, who was an accomplice of Murphy in the Brussels and Seaforth cases, got four years in the penitentiary.

Crown Attorney Seager and High Constable Whitesides have been working on the cases for the last two months following the breaking open of the store of Thes. Strachan at Brussels.

[Murphy was 36, from Penetang, Ontario, a boiler 'fireman' and several nasty scars on his head and wrist. He had served three previous penitentiary terms going back to the early 1900s. He was convict #F-580 at Kingston Penitentiary this time around, and worked as a heavy labourer and then in an industrial shop. He was reported a bunch for work refusals in 1915 and 1915, losing almost 60 days remission, and being thrown in solitary at least once. He was in solitary for a week again in August 1917, and after that seems to have been in less trouble. He was still in prison in 1924 during an investigation, and was released several years later in 1926. Burling was 38, from Colton, Ont., was a house painter by trade, and had never been in prison before. He was convict #F-581 and worked in the tin and paint shop. He was never reported and was paroled in 1917.]

CANADA ROAD  3

Between Goderich and Kincardine,

Lake Huron

Great Lakes

Ontario

Sunset 60 minutes ago

Today it was so rough with the waves and the wind that I just went in, fell over and couldn’t even begin to swim.  When the wind gets up, it gets harder to swim but the waves are lovely.  There was a walk along the dirt track here in between the cottages, with trees lining our way both sides of the road, hiding for the most part the dwellings either side of the road.  There were seven of us straggling along with the children at the front.  We found the creek that leads inland to the gorge.  There was a fairy garden, a flower garden and a friendly dog whose owner had lost his white cat.  We looked, but didn’t find her. 

We took the stairs down to the beach and walked back up the beach to our part of the beach.  There were decks and boat launches, chairs, bars, all kinds of wooden structure, all facing the lake, which feels like a sea, so vast into the distance, turquoise water.  There were our familiar seats facing out to sea waiting for us to sit and look.

We visited the Point Clark Lighthouse, after driving on the Main 21 Bluewater Highway, between miles and miles of green fields with crops like corn and potatoes.  The Lighthouse had a museum set in the windy point.  The museum documents he story of the generations of Lighthouse Keepers and their families, illustrated with old photographs. 

We could climb the old lighthouse tower, white and red, saving lives on the lakr.  There is an area of shoals off the coast here that the Lighthouse, and thus prevents ships from running aground.  The water is only five feet deep out in the channel. 

The Lighthouse system is still needed for shipping.  Originally eleven were required but only six were ever built.  Today they are automated but previously needed buckets of oil to keep running which had to be carried up the stairs in the dark without a hand rail.

The day was sunny and the flowers at the foot of the lighthouse were in full bloom on the shore and the traditional houses had wonderful displays of flowers all over the peninsula.

Sun set tonight happened as the sun slid gradually to the skyline through stripes of cloud, grey against fiery red, until below our sight. Goodnight!

I have THE biggest, BEST news EVER--

I GOT A BOOK CONTRACT!!!!!!!!

I am exceptionally pleased to announce that I have just signed a contract with Ten Speed Press (a division of Penguin Random House) to publish...

The Everyday Naturalist: How to Identify Animals, Plants, and Fungi Wherever You Go!

It is slated for publication in early Summer 2025, and will be written for anyone who wants to be able to identify the living beings around them regardless of educational level or experience. A HUGE thank you to my literary agent Jane Dystel of Dystel, Goderich & Bourret LLC, and my editor at Ten Speed Press, Julie Bennett!

This isn't just another field guide--it's a how-to book on nature identification that helps you go from "I have no idea what this animal/plant/fungus is and I don't know where to start" to "Aha! I know how to figure out what species I'm looking at/hearing!" Those familiar with my nature ID classes know that I emphasize skills and tools accessible to everyday people. Whether you're birdwatching, foraging, or just enjoying the nature around you, my goal is to help you be more confident in figuring out what living beings you encounter wherever you go--and not just in the Pacific Northwest. 

The Everyday Naturalist will not only explain what traits you need to pay attention to like color, size, shape, location, etc. and how to use them to differentiate among similar species, but will also detail how and when to use tools like apps, field guides, and more. (And given the current kerfuffle about A I generated foraging books, I will of course include information on how to determine the veracity of a given book or other resource.) And my editor and I have already been discussing some great additions to the book that will make it even more user-friendly!

Are you excited about this? I certainly am! I wanted to wait until the pixels were dry on the contract before going public with this (though my newsletter subscribers got to hear about it last month, lucky them!) It still doesn't feel real, but I'm already working on the manuscript so it'll sink in soon enough.

I will, of course, keep you all apprised of my progress because this project is going to be a big part of my life over the next several months as I write and edit and write and edit and wash, rinse, repeat. So keep your eyes on this space for updates (and feel free to add yourself to my monthly email newsletter here, too!)

Things You Probably Never Knew About The Great Lakes.....

1. Lake Superior is actually not a lake at all, but an inland sea .

2. All of the four other Great Lakes, plus three more the size of Lake Erie, would  fit inside of Lake Superior.

3. Isle Royale is a massive island surrounded by Lake Superior. Within this island are several smaller lakes. Yes, that’s a lake on a lake.

4. Despite its massive size, Lake Superior is an  extremely young   formation by Earth’s standards (only 10,000 years old).

5. There is enough water in Lake Superior to  submerge all of North and South America in 1 foot of water.

6. Lake Superior contains 3 quadrillion gallons of water (3,000,000,000,000,000). All five of the Great Lakes combined contain 6 quadrillion gallons.

7. Contained within Lake Superior is a whopping 10% of the world’s fresh surface water.

8. It’s estimated there are about 100 million lake trout   in Lake Superior. That’s nearly one-fifth of the human population of North America!

9. There are small outlets through which water leaves Lake Superior. It takes two centuries for all the water in the lake to replace itself.

10. Lake Erie is the fourth-largest Great Lake in surface area, and the smallest in depth. It’s the 11th largest lake on the planet.

11. There is alleged to be a 30- to 40-foot-long “monster” in Lake Erie named Bessie. The earliest recorded sighting goes back as early as 1793.

12. Water in Lake Erie replaces itself   in only 2.6 years, which is notable considering the water in Lake Superior takes two centuries.

13. The original publication of Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax contained the line, “I hear things are just as bad up in Lake Erie.”Fourteen years later, the Ohio Sea Grant Program wrote to Seuss to make the case that conditions had improved. He removed the line.

14. Not only is lake Erie the smallest Great Lake when it comes to volume, but it’s surrounded by the most industry.Seventeen metropolitan areas, each with populations of more than 50,000, border the Lake Erie basin.

15. During the War of 1812, the U.S. beat the British in a naval battle calledthe Battle of Lake Erie, forcing them to abandon Detroit.

16. The shoreline of all the Great Lakes combined equals nearly 44% of the  circumference  of the planet.

17. If not for the the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron might be considered one lake.Hydrologically speaking, they have the same mean water level and are considered one lake.

18. The Keystone State  was one of the largest and most luxurious wooden steamships running during the Civil War.In 1861, it disappeared. In 2013, it was found 30 miles northeast of Harrisville under 175 feet of water.

19. Goderich Mine is the largest salt mine in the world. Part of it runs underneath Lake Huron, more than 500 meters underground.

20. Below Lake Huron, there are  9,000-year-old animal-herding structures   used by prehistoric people from when the water levels were significantly lower.

21. There are  massive sinkholes in Lake Huron that have high amounts of sulfur and low amounts of oxygen, almost replicating the conditions of Earth’s ancient oceans 3 million years ago. Unique ecosystems are contained within them.

22. Lake Huron is the second largest among the Great Lakes, and the  fifth largest in the world.

23.  In size, Lake Michigan ranks third among the Great Lakes, and sixth among all freshwater lakes in the world.

24. Lake Michigan is the only Great Lake that is entirely within the borders of the United States.

25. The largest fresh water sand dunes in the world line the shores of Lake Michigan.

26. Because water enters and exits Lake Michigan through the same path, it takes 77 years longer for the water to replace itself   than in Huron, despite their similarity in size and depth. (Lake Michigan: 99 years, Lake Huron: 22 years)

27. When the temperature of Lake Michigan is below freezing, this happens.

28. Within Lake Michigan there is a “triangle” with a similar reputation to the Bermuda Triangle, where a large amount of “strange disappearances” have occurred. There have also been alleged UFO sightings.

29. Singapore, Mich., is a ghost town on the shores of Lake Michigan that was buried under sand in 1871. Because of severe weather conditions and a lack of resources due to the need to rebuild after the great Chicago fire, the town was lost completely.

30. In the mid-19th century, Lake Michigan had a pirate problem. Their booty: timber. In fact, the demise of Singapore is due in large part to the rapidly deforested area surrounding the town.

31. Jim Dreyer  swam across Lake Michigan in 1998 (65 miles), and then in 2003, he swam the length of Lake Michigan (422 miles).

32. Lake Michigan was the location of the first recorded “Big Great Lakes disaster,” in which a steamer carrying 600 people collided with a schooner delivering timber to Chicago. Four hundred and fifty people died.

33. Lake Ontario is the smallest of the Great Lakes in surface area, and second smallest in depth. It’s the  14th largest lake   on the planet.

34. The province Ontario was  named after   the lake, and not vice versa.

35. In 1804, a Canadian warship, His Majesty’s Ship Speedy, sank in Lake Ontario. In 1990, wreck hunter Ed Burtt managed to find it.  Only, he isn’t allowed to recover any artifacts until a government-approved site to exhibit them is found. He’s still waiting.

36. Babe Ruth hit his  first major league home run   at Hanlan’s Point Stadium in Toronto. It landed in Lake Ontario and is believed to still be there.

37. A lake on Saturn’s moon Titan is named after Lake Ontario.
