Bad news this afternoon out of Brewers camp.
According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, first baseman Mat Gamel aggravated his surgically-repaired right knee Saturday during a workout.
Gamel told reporters recently that he has “good days and bad days” with the knee and Brewers assistant GM Gord Ash sent word to the media shortly after today’s incident that the team was “just being careful” in cutting Gamel’s workout short. But it’s pretty obvious that things are not going well.
Gamel was supposed to serve as the Brewers’ starting first baseman this season while Corey Hart recovers from January knee surgery. But Milwaukee might need another backup plan.
Gamel tore his ACL last May and hasn’t appeared in a game since.
The Yankees have re-signed pitcher Jon Niese to a minor league contract, George A. King III of the New York Post reports. Niese was released on Sunday, but he’ll stick around and provide rotation depth for the Yankees.
Niese had knee surgery last August and got a late start to spring training as a result. In six spring appearances lasting an inning each, the lefty gave up three earned runs on five hits and a walk with five strikeouts.
Niese, a veteran of nine seasons, put up an aggregate 5.50 ERA with an 88/47 K/BB ratio in 121 innings last season between the Pirates and Mets.
The Phillies announced on Tuesday that the club traded pitcher Alec Asher to the Orioles for a player to be named later.
Asher, 25, was the victim of a roster crunch. He was not going to make the 25-man roster and the starting rotation at Triple-A Lehigh Valley was already full. The Phillies acquired him from the Rangers in the July 2015 Cole Hamels trade.
Asher had good results in 27 2/3 innings in the big leagues last year, posting a 2.28 ERA with a 13/4 K/BB ratio. While it didn’t show in those stats, the right-hander sometimes struggles with command and he doesn’t miss bats often enough to make up for it. The Orioles, however, are happy to add some pitching depth.

MANILA, Philippines - The government is looking at the proposed LRT Malvar station in Caloocan City as a new hub for the Metro Manila Integrated Rail Terminal or common station where three railways will meet.
The Malvar station is seen as more viable for a common terminal, as it has the accessibility for commuters and capacity for the trains.
"Last week, we had a briefing in Malvar in order to open that area, kasi marami galing north dun sumasakay. Malvar is a possible common station," Transportation Secretary Jun Abaya told ABS-CBNnews.com.
Construction of the common station was supposed to be completed back in May 2010 but was temporarily put aside citing cost and engineering issues.
It will house the planned link of the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3), Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) and the proposed MRT-7.
SM Prime Holdings had earlier given the Light Rail Transit Authority P200 million for "naming rights" over the station. But Abaya said, distance may cause a problem in putting up the station near SM City North EDSA.
"The problem with the common station in SM is it's too short a distance from the MRT's last station. You run 600 meters and then to turn around that's not good for train operations. You have to decide on having them separate, people have to walk or have another common station."
Abaya however said, the P200 million deposit will be returned once the project does not materialize.
"We will look into that. If we received it and it wasn't constructed then dapat isauli."
The nearly 17-kilometer MRT-3 traverses EDSA North Ave. in Quezon City to Taft Ave. in Manila, while the 20.7-km LRT-1 runs from Baclaran in Pasay City to Roosevelt Station in Quezon City.
The proposed MRT-7 meantime stretches from San Jose del Monte Bulacan to North Avenue Quezon City with a total length of 22 kilometers involving 14 train stations.

MyTown Microgrid Heyfield
More and more communities are looking to make energy work better for the, spurred by a desire to use their local resources more sustainably for the greater benefit of those who live there. While there is already substantial momentum building with local energy projects, determining a viable path is challenging. What resources can be developed? Which technologies and partners should they choose? What business models will be financially viable? How can the benefits be equally shared among the community?
MyTown aims to answer these questions for the Victorian town of Heyfield, while also seeking to develop a replicable model that can also bring benefits to the surrounding region, as well as other edge-of-grid towns around Australia.
About the project
Over the next three years, MyTown will test the viability of microgrids as a local energy solution for the town of Heyfield in Victoria.
A ‘microgrid’ can be defined as a group of homes or businesses that generate, use and share electricity. With the ability to be controlled as a single entity, microgrids are able to connect and disconnect from the main electricity grid as required.
Microgrids have the potential to enhance the integration of renewable energy, draw on local resources, drive deep carbon reductions, and overcome local grid constraints. They can also support the decarbonisation of the wider energy system while also improving overall system resilience.
However, there are many options for communities looking to understand whether a microgrid makes sense for them and determining a viable path can be difficult to navigate.
The Heyfield community
Heyfield is a town of around 2,000 people located in Wellington Shire, Victoria. With a long track record in sustainability initiatives and considerable potential for low-cost and local energy, Heyfield is an idea location to pilot a new approach with a community at the helm.
Using Heyfield as the model community, the project will bring together progressive industry, community and research partners to pilot an innovative approach to a microgrid feasibility study.
As well understanding the feasibility of a microgrid for Heyfield, the project will also develop the knowledge and tools to make it faster, easier and cheaper for other fringe-of-grid towns in regional Australia to do the same for their communities.
Project leads and partners
Project Leads: Wattwatchers Digital Energy, Heyfield Community Resource Centre
Project partners: University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Public Interest Advocacy Centre Ltd. (PIAC), Federation University Australia, AusNet Services, RMIT University, Latrobe Valley Authority (LVA), Community Power Agency (CPA).
MyTown Heyfield is funded by the Australian Government’s Regional and Remote Communities Reliability Fund (RRCRF) – Microgrid Program (Round 1) and the Victorian Government’s Latrobe Valley Authority (LVA).

The National Rife Association came out strongly against President Obama's proposed gun control measures in a statement on Monday.
The statement, released by the organization's Institute for Legislative Action, called Obama's Tuesday address detailing his plans for executive action on gun control a "condescending" lecture. It also accused the president of using the issue to distract the public from terrorism concerns.
"Once again, President Obama has chosen to engage in political rhetoric, instead of offering meaningful solutions to our nation's pressing problems," the statement said.
Obama on Tuesday announced he would take a series of executive actions aimed at expanding background checks for gun purchases.
During the event, Obama wiped tears from his eyes as he recounted the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre.
''Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad,'' he said.
Read the full NRA statement below:
"Once again, President Obama has chosen to engage in political rhetoric, instead of offering meaningful solutions to our nation's pressing problems. Today's event also represents an ongoing attempt to distract attention away from his lack of a coherent strategy to keep the American people safe from terrorist attack.
The American people do not need more emotional, condescending lectures that are completely devoid of facts. The men and women of the National Rifle Association take a back seat to no one when it comes to keeping our communities safe. But the fact is that President Obama's proposals would not have prevented any of the horrific events he mentioned. The timing of this announcement, in the eighth and final year of his presidency, demonstrates not only political exploitation but a fundamental lack of seriousness.
The proposed executive actions are ripe for abuse by the Obama Administration, which has made no secret of its contempt for the Second Amendment. The NRA will continue to fight to protect the fundamental, individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms as guaranteed under our Constitution. We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be harassed or intimidated for engaging in lawful, constitutionally-protected activity – nor will we allow them to become scapegoats for President Obama's failed policies."

Interior Designates 27 New National Landmarks – Landmarks Honor Nation’s Cultural and Natural Heritage
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today announced the designation of 26 national historic landmarks and one national natural landmark as places that possess exceptional value and quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. Currently there are only 2,527 designated national historic landmarks and 592 national natural landmark sites across the country that bear this national distinction.
“Each of these landmarks represents a thread in the great tapestry that tells the story of our beautiful land, our diverse culture and our nation’s rich heritage,” said Salazar. “By designating these sites as national landmarks, we help meet the goals of President Obama’s America’s Great Outdoors Initiative to establish a conservation ethic for the 21st century and reconnect people, especially young people, to our nation’s historic, cultural, and natural heritage.”
The national historic landmarks announced today include:
- Admiral David Glasgow Farragut Gravesite, New York City, N.Y. The Admiral David Glasgow Farragut Gravesite is the only known, NHL-eligible property directly associated with Farragut, the son of Jorge Antonio Farragut-Mesquida, a Spaniard from the island of Minorca. Admiral Farragut is universally recognized as one of the most accomplished officers in American naval history, as well as one of the finest naval commanders who fought for either side during the Civil War.
- Black Jack Battlefield, Douglas County, Kan. The three-hour Battle of Black Jack, fought on June 2, 1856, marked a culmination of escalating violence in “Bleeding Kansas” and the beginning of John Brown’s war on slavery, which would culminate in his raid on Harpers Ferry three years later.
- Camp Evans, Wall Township, N.J. This World War II-era U.S. Army Signal Corps electronics development, testing, and production facility was one of the principal U.S. sites associated with the development of radar.
- Central Branch, National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers/Dayton Veterans Administration Home, Dayton, Ohio. The home represents an evolution and shift in federal care for veterans starting in World War I (1917) and continuing through the consolidation of veteran’s benefits and the establishment of the Veterans Administration in 1930.
- Central Congregational Church, Boston, Mass. Central Congregational Church is nationally significant because it has the largest intact Tiffany-designed ecclesiastical interior in its original location in America.
- César E. Chávez National Monument at Nuestra Señora Reina de la Paz in Keene, Calif. La Paz became headquarters to the United Farm Workers of America in the early 1970s when Chávez and other leaders of the UFW orchestrated unprecedented successes for hundreds of thousands of farm workers, including passage of the first U.S. law that recognized farm workers’ collective bargaining rights. On October 8, 2012, President Obama declared the site a national monument. In addition to that action, today the Secretary announced the site has also been designated a national historic landmark.
- Davis Oriole Earthlodge Site, Mills County, Iowa. The Davis Oriole Earthlodge Site outstandingly illustrates the physical features of lodge habitations that commonly recur across the Plains and is exceptionally valuable for the study of this predominant Plains Village pattern habitation type.
- Denver & Rio Grande Railroad San Juan Extension (Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad), Conejos and Archuleta Counties, CO and Rio Arriba County, N.M. In terms of length, scale of operations, completeness, extensiveness of its steam operations, and state of preservation, the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad San Juan Extension is one of the country’s best surviving examples of a narrow gauge system from the peak of American railroading, roughly 1870 to 1930.
- Denver Civic Center, Denver, Colo. Heralded as “one of the most complete and intact City Beautiful civic centers in the country,” the Denver Civic Center represents that movement’s widespread impact on American cities through the creation of planned civic centers in the early 20th century.
- Dr. Bob’s Home (Dr. Robert and Anne Smith House), Akron, Ohio. Dr. Bob’s Home is associated with Dr. Robert Holbrook Smith (Dr. Bob) who, along with William Griffith Wilson (Bill W.), co-founded Alcoholics Anonymous, a global organization whose mission is to assist alcoholics in achieving and maintaining sobriety.
- The Drakes Bay Historic and Archeological District, Point Reyes Station, Calif. The site is directly associated with the earliest documented cross-cultural encounter between California Indians and Europeans, leaving the most complete material record on the West Coast. In addition, the site contains the earliest recorded shipwreck on the West Coast of the United States, the Spanish San Agustín.
- Greendale Historic District, Village of Greendale, Wis. Greendale, Wisconsin, one of three government-sponsored “greenbelt” communities built during the Great Depression, represents the federal response to the desperate unemployment of the era and the urgent need for housing reform for the urban working class.
- The Hispanic Society of America Complex, New York City, N.Y. With the founding of the Hispanic Society of America in 1904, Archer Milton Huntington created an institution which directly encouraged the promotion of all cultures associated with the Iberian Peninsula (including those in South America). This represented a nationally significant shift in both attitudes toward Hispanic culture and understanding of Hispanic-American history in the United States. The Hispanic Society of America was at the forefront of challenging simplistic and negative perceptions of Hispanic history and societies in the New World.
- Historic Moravian Bethlehem Historic District, Bethlehem, Pa. As an outstanding example of Moravian architecture and town planning, the Historic Moravian Bethlehem Historic District is the physical expression of a structured, 18th-century communal religious society.
- Humpback Bridge, Alleghany County, Va. Built in 1857, the Humpback Bridge is an outstanding example of 19th-century covered bridge construction and is the best surviving example of a timber multiple-kingpost truss, used for some of the earliest covered bridges in America.
- Knight’s Ferry Bridge, Stanislaus County, Calif. Constructed in 1862-1863, Knight’s Ferry Bridge is an exceptionally fine example of 19th-century covered bridge construction using the William Howe patented truss, one of the most successful and widely-used American timber bridge truss types.
- McKeen Motor Car #70 (Virginia & Truckee Railway Motor Car #22), Carson City, Nev. This is the best surviving example of the first commercially viable application of internal combustion power in a self-propelled railroad car.
- Murray Springs Clovis Site, Cochise County, Ariz. The Murray Springs Clovis Site is among the richest early Paleoindian sites in North America with a mammoth-kill site, a bison-kill site, and a Clovis camp site. Sites associated with the Clovis culture are extremely rare.
- Poston Elementary School Unit 1, Colorado River Relocation Center, La Paz County, Ariz. The second of 10 relocation centers established for the confinement of Japanese Americans during World War II, Poston is the only relocation center that retains an above-ground complex of elementary school buildings.
- The Republic, Columbus, Ind. The Republic is an exceptional work of modern architecture and one of the best examples of the work of Myron Goldsmith, a general partner in the firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, and a highly respected architect, architectural theorist, writer, and educator.
- San José de los Jémez Mission and Gíusewa Pueblo Site, N.M. San José de los Jémez Mission and Gíusewa Pueblo Site is associated with the spread of Spanish control northward in New Spain into the present-day American Southwest from 1598 to about 1639 and is an early representation of the intersection of European and native cultures.
- Stepping Stones (Bill and Lois Wilson House), Katonah, N.Y. Stepping Stones is the home of Bill and Lois Wilson, respective co-founders of Alcoholics Anonymous and the Al-Anon Family Groups. During the 47 years the Wilsons lived here, A.A. grew exponentially, spreading within and outside of the United States, with Bill Wilson serving as the leader of the movement.
- United Congregational Church, Newport, R.I. The murals and opalescent and stained glass windows of United Congregational Church, executed by artist John LaFarge between 1880 and 1881, are the only comprehensive interior designed by the artist.
- The United States Post Office and Court House (the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California), Los Angeles, Calif. Between 1945 and 1946, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California became an exceptionally important site in the annals of postwar American school desegregation efforts and the civil rights history of Mexican and Mexican-American people in the Southwest. This was the site of the 1946 Mendez v. Westminster School District lawsuit filed by five Latino families whose children were denied admission to public schools in Southern California. The decision by this federal court forbade segregation on the grounds that separate was not equal; it was the first court to declare that the doctrine of “separate but equal” ran counter to the United States Constitution.
- The United States Post Office and Courthouse (James R. Browning U.S. Court of Appeals), San Francisco, Calif. Constructed between 1897 and 1905, the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse in San Francisco is a superlative Beaux-Arts public building exhibiting a complex merger of a number of artistic disciplines: architecture, sculpture, painting, stained-glass and decorative arts.
- University Heights Campus (Bronx Community College of The City University of New York), Bronx, N.Y. New York University’s “University Heights Campus” is a nationally significant example of Beaux-Arts architecture in the United States, and among the most important works by Stanford White, partner in McKim, Mead & White, the preeminent American architectural firm at the turn of the 20th century.
Salazar also designated Big Spring Creek in Saguache County, Colo, as a national natural landmark. This feature is unique in the region as a spring-fed, gaining stream formed by groundwater discharging from an unconfined aquifer. Emergent wetlands along the creek support a diversity of rare species and plant communities in an otherwise arid landscape.
The National Historic Landmarks Program, established in 1935, is administered by the National Park Service on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior. The agency works with preservation officials and other partners interested in nominating a landmark. Completed applications are reviewed by the National Park System Advisory Board, which makes recommendations for designation to the Secretary of the Interior. If selected, property ownership remains intact but each site receives a designation letter, a plaque, and technical preservation advice.

The most capable carrier based fighter-bomber of World War II featured the largest engine available at the time: the 2,000 hp, 18-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial. It was the first US warplane to exceed 400 mph in level flight. The plane featured an unusual inverted gull wing to keep the undercarriage short while allowing the use of the large diameter propeller demanded by the powerful engine.

Then up gat fechtin' Jamie Fleck, Aud he swore by his conscience, That he could saw hemp-seed a peck; For it was a' but nonsense. The auld guidman raught down the pock, And out a handfu' gied him; Syne bade him slip frae 'mang the folk, Some time when nae ane see'd him, And try't that night. He marches through amang the stacks, Though he was something sturtin; The graip he for a harrow taks, And hauls it at his curpin; And every now and then he says, "Hemp-seed, I saw thee, And her that is to be my lass, Come after me, and draw thee As fast this night." He whistled up Lord Lennox' march To keep his courage cheery; Although his hair began to arch, He was say fley'd and eerie: Till presently he hears a squeak, And then a grane and gruntle; He by his shouther gae a keek, And tumbled wi' a wintle Out-owre that night.

Protests sparked by the current economic downturn are popping up all over Europe. Not all of them are peaceful either.
Rioting in Iceland forced the resignation of the country’s Prime Minister last Tuesday. Police arrested 20 of the 2,000 protesters after the crowd began throwing smoke bombs, attempted to break windows at parliament, and hurled snow and ice at the PM’s car. Police used mace to break up the crowd.
Greek farmers lifted roadblocks Friday that had been in place for over ten days. The farmers set the blocks up to call the Greek government’s attention to the lack of action on falling agricultural prices. “The farmers returned to their farms and houses and the biggest protest in the agricultural sector so far ended in the best possible way,” said the Greek Agricultural Minister.
Lithuania, Latvia, and Bulgaria erupted in protest last week. 14 were injured in the Lithuanian capital as actions turned violent. Looting and destruction resulted from demonstrations in Riga, Latvia’s capital. Store windows and police vehicles were smashed by rioters. Over 100 were arrested.
Union strikes have spilled over into France and Britain. Despite the disruption of services in France, things have staid peaceful in both France and Britain.
Should we be worried in the US? If things get worse before they get better, which isn’t unlikely, would citizens take to the streets. Some are already saying Europe is facing a “Revolution Winter”. A few say we might not be far behind. “It’s amazing that people aren’t more angry here,” Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. “Our government is still looking out more for the banks and the people who caused the mess than the people who are being victimized.”
Americans tend to protest in a more constructive way. Americans are calling their representatives, emailing, and using netroots programs to get their views straight to those with the power to make the changes. Most of us recognize that this whole thing is in the government’s hands at this point. Preventing them from working on this thing wont help anyone right now. Alarmists out there would like you to think riots will flame up across the country tomorrow. They wont and saying they will wont help. Band together and help your neighbors. We’ve gone through hardships before and we’ll make it through this one.
I think it goes without saying, but the opinions found at these blogs do not necessarily reflect those of The Maine View.
With all the talk focused on Hamas, Iran, Pakistan, and Russia lately poor North Korea seems to be feeling left out. Like a child acting out to get attention, N. Korea revoked it’s non-aggression pact with South Korea along with all other peace agreements. Tensions could flare up of a disputed sea border in the Yellow Sea. Clashes occurred in this region in 1999 and 2002.
“We hope that North Korea fully understands that raising tension between the South and the North is not desirable for settling peace on the Korean peninsula,” Kim Ho-nyoun, South Korean spokesman for the Unification Ministry said in a statement. “The North needs to recognize that rising inter-Korean tension is not desirable not only for the peace of the Korean Peninsula but also for the peace of Northeast Asia and the world,” said Kim. “We urge the North to back dialogue and cooperation with us.”
Trying to soften South Korea’s stance with the North and gaining the attention of President Obama is said to be the goal of any hostilities.
Rush Limbaugh has made it to the big time. Yesterday Limbaugh wrote a column for the Wall Street Journal detailing his version of the stimulus plan, which I covered last week. The column was a rehash of the proposal he released on his show as the Obama-Limbaugh Stimulus Plan of 2009. The column itself made for an enjoyable read. I could see all of Rush’s points, and agree with a few, without all that jargonizing getting it the way. I guess sensible talk is not what brings in Rush the big bucks.
Take the opening paragraph: There’s a serious debate in this country as to how best to end the recession. The average recession will last five to 11 months; the average recovery will last six years. Recessions will end on their own if they’re left alone. What can make the recession worse is the wrong kind of government intervention.
There are a some misleading facts. Only recessions counted from 1945 to 2007 average out to 5 to 11 months. Roughly ten recessions occurred prior, including the Great Depression. Most administrations did attempt to intervene in the crises with varying degrees of success. Rush and many others, myself included, question whether or not the current stimulus is the best approach.
The solution proposed by Limbaugh is a compromise between spending (Keynesian) and tax cuts (Supply-Side). Maybe a compromise isn’t the best solution either.
Compromises have brought us some great things in history. Our Bill of Rights is the product of a compromise between Federalists and Anti-Federalists. Compromises don’t always produce the best results. The Reconstruction Era led to decades of discrimination, violence, and terrorism against religious, ethnic, and racial minorities.
A compromise just to prove Obama is bipartisan or to save hurt feelings of those who oppose the stimulus is wrong. This isn’t the schoolyard. No one should be forced to make compromises with our money and economy in the name of togetherness. I want the best plan there is. If that comes through a compromise then OK. If it comes from the Dems or if it comes from the GOP I don’t care. As long as this thing is not a waste of money and helps get us back on the right track quicker than doing nothing at all I’m behind whoever proposes the stimulus.
Now is the time for decisive action. Stop the in fighting, keep the debate going. Work the best solution to the problem. Quit the handholding kumbya and quit power games. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but there is a middle ground on how to approach the stimulus here.
Nightly News Roundup – Blagojevich, Wall Street, California State Workers, Loan Help, Maine Low On Cash, Snow
I’ve decided to ad some local news to the mix for my Mainers. Here’s the headlines.
You need proof that no one is immune from the recession? Well here it is. Even the Postal Service is feeling the effects of the economic downturn. Last year they operated $2.8 billion in the red. Estimates for this year are approaching $6 billion in losses. Dropping a day of service, possibly Tuesday or Saturday, has been suggested as a solution. Time to privatize?
Check out more at MSNBC.
Starbucks released a statement yesterday that it will cut 6,700 jobs and close 300 stores. This comes on the heels of the 600 store closings announced last July. Starbucks may not stop at 900 stores either.
“I’m hoping 300 stores is enough, and that they’ve done what they need to do,” said Patty Edwards, a retail analyst with Storehouse Partners in Seattle. “Slow drip, even in coffee, isn’t necessarily the best thing. Sometimes you just need to get the pain over with.”
I guess $5 bucks for an ok latte is too much.

Regarding the contentious issue of forced municipal amalgamation, various provincial government spokesmen have put forward quite a number of arguments in support of their initiative that simply do not stand up to scrutiny.
For example, it is said that small municipalities do not have the wherewithal to afford to have their audits done and are therefore ineligible for their per capita share of federal gas tax funding. The reality is that while most municipalities do have their audits up to date, those that do not run the gamut from some of the smallest to some of the largest. This is not, in short, a size-related issue.
We continually hear that municipalities having less than 1,000 residents do not meet the legal threshold, under the Municipal Act, of a municipality. Actually the 1,000 resident minimum is the requirement to form a new municipality. There is no minimum population requirement in the act for existing municipalities. The province is apparently considering unspecified changes to the act, one of which presumably would be to change the wording and intent to belatedly give truth to this, their constant misstatement.
We are told that small municipalities need to amalgamate to meet the requirements of municipal planning and emergency preparedness. In point of fact, these requirements have already been met by the usual process whereby small municipalities act jointly, by way of regional partnerships.
The provincial government is fully aware that regional partnerships have long been the operating norm for small municipalities for entities from weed control districts to libraries, from conservation districts to fire mutual aid districts, to name but a few. As each of these associations is with a different specific group of municipalities, almost any amalgamation would tear some of these associations apart and force members to forge new ones.
But most importantly, the finance minister has been making the case that the province is being forced to act in order to create huge tax savings for municipal ratepayers. However, it has been definitively established, not only by respected academic studies but also by first-hand amalgamation experience both inside and outside Manitoba’s borders, that there are virtually no cost savings attributable to amalgamation. In fact, there are considerable costs. Any potential savings from shared offices and administrations have always been available without amalgamation.
We have too much respect for the intelligence of our government representatives to imagine that they could honestly believe in the validity of these arguments. There have to be real reasons for this agenda. Putting forward so many of these blatantly false arguments while withholding the real reasons only raises the level of speculation and suspicion as to the government’s motives.
The province’s timeline for amalgamation is impossible to achieve. Numerous municipal governments have responded in writing to the premier, the minister of local government, and other cabinet ministers and MLAs. These responses have generally fallen into two categories: carefully reasoned arguments as to why these municipalities would be very reluctant to be forced to amalgamate and those more bluntly stating that they, for similar reasons, simply refuse to do so. To date, we are not aware of any municipality that has been favoured with a reply. The very existence of these letters is denied.
Government spokesmen are only too happy to go over councils’ heads to the media while refusing to talk to the municipalities themselves. The impression is created that this initiative has been well received by councils. It hasn’t. Municipalities that have, for their own reasons, previously amalgamated or who are now considering doing so, still oppose this unilateral action. Those to whom this initiative does not apply overwhelmingly condemn forced amalgamation of unwilling participants.
In summary, it would be very hard to overestimate the groundswell of outright hostility that this unfortunate and undemocratic campaign has aroused.

If I’m ever stranded on a desert island, I’d be fine – as long as I’d have a copy of Lunch Poems by queer poet Frank O’Hara. This pocket-size, energy-infused poetry collection, just out in a 50th anniversary edition from City Lights Books, would provide all the fuel, caffeine, camp, love, and fun that I’d need to sustain myself.
I’m far from unique in my love and affection for O’Hara and his work. Few poets, gay or straight, have so influenced our culture. Don Draper on “Mad Men” reads O’Hara. Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Joan Mitchell and other painters hung out with O’Hara and painted him.
It’s tempting to think that LGBT artists and writers were closeted before Stonewall. Yet O’Hara, who was born in Baltimore in 1926 and died in an accident on Fire Island in 1966, lived as an openly gay man in New York City. “I live above a dyke bar and I’m happy,” he wrote in one poem. “You Are Gorgeous And I’m Coming” was the title of one of his love poems.
O’Hara embraced sexuality. “Mothers of America/…Let your kids go to the movies!” he writes in his beautiful poem “Ave Maria.”
“They’ll be in some glamourous country/they first saw on a Saturday afternoon or playing hookey/they may even be grateful to you/for their first sexual experience.”
On re-reading Lunch Poems, “I remembered how conservative and formal most contemporary American poetry was at the time,” writes poet John Ashbery in the forward to the book’s 50th anniversary edition, “No other poetry collection of the `60s did more to shatter the congealed surface of contemporary academic poetry.”
O’Hara even “gets away with” using the word “fuck” occasionally in his poetry, writes Ashbery, who is gay, “and yet he’s no macho spewer of hard truths, but a kind…deeply curious and attractive younger man, passing a few minutes of speculative rumination before heading back to the office, like all of us.”
In large part, O’Hara was responsible for the energy that changed American letters from its 1950s “gloves and veils” poetry to everyday speech “with natural cadence, and a ‘lay it like you say it’ colloquialism,” Grace Cavalieri, producer of the radio show “The Poet and the Poem from the Library of Congress,” emailed the Blade.
He taught us to be authentic, Cavalieri wrote. “So many imitated him because he knew who he was; and wanted to know themselves and speak of it.”
O’Hara, who worked as a curator at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan, and wrote many of his poems on his lunch hour, famously called his work “I do this I do that” poetry. But don’t be fooled by this. Because his poems are conversational in tone, and frequently refer to his friends (such as the poet Kenneth Koch); his lover Joseph LeSueur; and Bette Davis, Lana Turner and other stars, you might think you could successfully channel his style. If you attempt this, as I have, you’re likely to find that you’ll fall on your poetic butt, trying to be the next Frank O’Hara.
He earned a bachelor’s in English from Harvard in 1950 and a master’s in English from the University of Michigan in 1951. “O’Hara was a first-class intellectual,” Cavalieri wrote. “He just wanted lunch at the foot of Mount Olympus where the party was.”
You don’t have to be a smoker or a New Yorker to love his poem called “Steps.” Reading it, like hearing a fab song, makes you want to dance.
“How funny you are today New York/like Ginger Rogers in Swingtime/…” writes O’Hara in “Steps,” “oh god it’s wonderful/to get out of bed/and drink too much coffee/and smoke too many cigarettes/and love you so much.”
Don’t miss out. With your fave libation in hand, celebrate Lunch Poems — the little book that’s still the life of the party.

Tale of Two Malls
Westfield Group’s Galleria at Roseville thrives while its Downtown Plaza struggles
Send this to a friend
(Page 6 of 7)
“We are at the point of having some optimism,” Fritzsche said.
She cited the mall spruce-ups, the Greyhound relocation and construction set for early next year on a mixed-use project for the 700 block of K Street, which will include new apartments. On Nov. 12, cars are set to return to what has been a pedestrian-only portion of K Street. And an arena could “very much change that forecast for that part of downtown,” she said.
In addition, she noted, Downtown Plaza has had a few wins of late.
For instance, 24 Hours Fitness recently nearly doubled the size of its gym at the mall.
“24 Hour Fitness is committed to the Sacramento market, where we’ve operated clubs for more than 17 years and have built relationships with trusted partners like Westfield,” said Jim McPhail, the company’s executive vice president of real estate. “We invested in this particular club because our members who live and work downtown deserve the same great fitness experience as those at our newer 24 Hour Fitness clubs.”
Hyundai opened a showroom at the mall last year. And this week, Elk Grove Power Sports Inc. opened at the mall what the company calls a temporary holiday store, which will operate until Aug. 1.
The power sports store was inspired by the Hyundai store and enticed by the affordable rent, said Subrina Spanner, the company’s co-general manager.
Meanwhile, Macy’s earlier this year renewed its lease for the men’s store building. Macy’s owns the other space it occupies at the mall.
“Macy’s is a very, very strong anchor,” Fritzsche said.
In fact, Ault said, it is the best performing Macy’s in the region, proving that “the answer is certainly not in the demographics.”
