We have just arrived at home when the call came and heard about the tragedy that like a bullet shot  my mind and stopped it from functioning . if my friends were not around me at the time ,i was unable to do what i had to do at the time. Right away together with friends we attended at Hamilton General Hospital in Barton Street in Emergency section and saw what is with me since then .

In Memory of Daniel ....

The simple invitation is written in black marker across the top of white canvas boards nailed to a wooden telephone pole on the northwest corner of James Street South and Charlton Avenue. 

A faded green alien dangles nearby on a rusty key chain. There are ribbons; bunches of artificial flowers; photos of a little girl. 

This is not the place where Daniel Abdolalian-Dolmer, 20, took his last breath — he died in hospital after being struck by a car while he was riding his longboard down James Street South on May 7, 2011 — but this is where his loved ones, from time to time, come to remember him.

“I think the accident scene is always an unanswered question. How did it happen and why did it happen?” says Morteza Abdolalian, Daniel’s father.

At last count, the city’s road operations department knew of 29 makeshift memorials scattered throughout Hamilton. There is no formal policy for dealing with them, although roadside crews often inspect them to make sure they’re not a hazard when they spot one while on routine road patrols. 

Bryan Shynal, the city’s director of operations, says staff have noticed more memorials in the last decade and will look into whether the city should implement a policy on them when they review the streets bylaw in the coming year. Other jurisdictions already have policies in place, including outright bans that label memorials as distractions for drivers.

Hamilton’s memorials are as varied as the incidents that prompted them.

There’s the one just past Clappison’s Corners on Highway 6, near Parkside Drive. Four white metal crosses stand in a row, paint peeling and rust forming. A fifth cross stands apart from the group. They mark the spot where a car crash just before Christmas 2005, killed Vivian Porto, 43, her two children and niece, as well as Robert Fox, 40, of Cambridge, who died of his injuries a few weeks later. 

Or the more unconventional memorial in the middle of the soccer field of the West 5th campus of St. Joseph’s. From afar, it appears a mound of weeds amid the expanse of a neatly mowed lawn. Up close, there is a stalk of corn, small pink flowers, a broken candle jar and some stones. There are no photos or names, but presumably, this spot is meant to mark the spot where Michael Brewer, 30, was killed earlier this summer.

" At Five In The Afternoon " Poetry by Garcia Lorca - Spanish Poet

At five in the afternoon. 
It was exactly five in the afternoon. 
A boy brought the white sheet 
at five in the afternoon. 
A frail of lime ready prepared 
at five in the afternoon. 
The rest was death, and death alone. 

The wind carried away the cottonwool 
at five in the afternoon. 
And the oxide scattered crystal and nickel 
at five in the afternoon. 
Now the dove and the leopard wrestle 
at five in the afternoon. 
And a thigh with a desolated horn 
at five in the afternoon. 
The bass-string struck up 
at five in the afternoon. 
Arsenic bells and smoke 
at five in the afternoon. 
Groups of silence in the corners 
at five in the afternoon. 
And the bull alone with a high heart! 
At five in the afternoon. 
When the sweat of snow was coming 
at five in the afternoon, 
when the bull ring was covered with iodine 
at five in the afternoon. 
Death laid eggs in the wound 
at five in the afternoon. 
At five in the afternoon. 
At five o'clock in the afternoon.

8 Years Have Passed Since You Have Gone .........You Are Always With Us And We Missed You Daniel....

May 7 , 2011 was a Saturday . You went to work that morning . You worked all day and left the job with a co worker with his car and got off the car around fennel and Mohawk . And used your skateboard to get to downtown Hamilton. You rode on your longboard coming down the hill the James St. south and about to pass the St. Joseph hospital , when the tragic accident happened and you have gone ....... It was around 5:00pm when a young woman driving a suv struck you on Charlton at James . I was notified by your brother and attended at Hamilton General hospital . Since then just your memories stays with us . All those years up to the age of 20 .
The next day i attended at Hamilton newspaper Spectator office , met the editor Jim Poling a friend and they wrote the following report about that tragic accident and your passing away .
