Our 2015 Membership winners:
Province Passes New Legislation
A new bill in Ontario has passed that may effect your organization's policies, orientation and health and safety education. Bill 18, the Stronger Workplaces for a Stronger Economy Act, 2014, passed November 6th, 2014. The bill is designed to protect vulnerable workers, such as interns and unpaid learners. To read more about this new legislation; visit: Ontario Newsroom.
Volunteer Audit Summary
As a Professional Association seeking to constantly improve and raise the bar of our profession, we took it upon ourselves to undergo a Volunteer Audit Summary for our own organization. To see the PAVRO Volunteer Audit Summary, you can view the document here: Volunteer Audit Summary.
Police Record Checks
The Government of Ontario has committed to legislation that will standardize the release of information from police record checks. The legislation is expected to be tabled in spring 2015, as confirmed by Minister Nasir Naqvi, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, at a meeting of civil society, business and police organizations.
There's been a lack of clarity across the public, private and nonprofit sectors about when police record checks should be done, what the checks should entail, and how to use this information objectively- and protect it. This issue has had widespread impact on potential employees, volunteers and students who have been excluded from opportunities due to "non-conviction records".
For the nonprofit sector, the lack of clarity has meant inconsistent procedures, costs and protocols.
The news is featured in a front page article of today's Toronto Star - with a quote from ONN!
We're very pleased with this development and congratulate our colleagues from across sectors creating solutions for issues that impact all Ontarians! ONN has been working with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, John Howard Society of Ontario, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the Ontario Association of Police Chiefs. The group had sent a letter to Premier Wynne asking for legislative action. Read it here.
The collaborative have also been advocating for a centralized agency to standardize vulnerable sector screening, which was discussed at the meeting.
ONN has been working to improve police record checks for the sector through the Open for Business process.
We'll continue to ensure the nonprofit perspective is considered during the legislative process and keep the network updated on progress.
We know this issue has been on the minds of many in the sector, so help us share this good news and let us know how it will impact you!

Mini Violets With Suckers, Vs. Mini Trailers
I've read that minis are somehow related to trailers or have a gene for that or something. So who decides which minis should be trailers and which should instead have their suckers repeatedly plucked? The few trailers I've tried to grow never took off and "trailed," but some of my minis keep trying to sucker. If I let them, couldn't they be trailers? I'm having a hard time understanding this.
Hi, I learned about this from older posts by Irina. I got an Optimara mini called Little Hopi Girl II that made three crowns but did not bloom again. I divided one of these plants into three but gave them to my club. Fit the other plant, I divided its 3 crowns 3 weeks ago. All three took, including one that had no roots. The biggest one is now in bud. From that, I concluded it needed to be single crown. I am going to my club on Sat so p
perhaps I will find out how the other minis are growing. I think Optimaras might have a tendency to form multiple crowns
, which I believe is a trait of trailers. So perhaps their minis have the same trait. I had two trailers. I could not control them, they went all over. I gave both away. The book Growing to Show by Pauline Bartholomew describes two types if trailers, one clumping, the other more vining. The O minis are examples of clumping. The two small standard NOIDS I had were vining. One had small pink double blossoms, but just a few. The other had small light purple single blooms scattered throughout, but not a lot.
They needed a lot of window or shelf and
needed to be high up. They were very leggy. The true trailers were spliced with a gene from another species. Joanne

A plant's classification is decided by the hybridizer. When plants are registered they are identified as standard, semi, mini, or trailer by its breeder guided by the way the plant grows for him/her. The plant may not grow as classified for everyone who grows it.
This is one reason some plants make good show plants and some do not. A plant that does not grow as registered for most growers will not make a good show plant as it must be forced to conform to its standard.
Minis have trailers in their lineage. This is why most minis sucker profusely. I have an 'Aca's Blizzard Bunny' that refuses to be kept to a single crown. I divide it and the next day it is very multi-crowned. In a situation like this, it is best to let the plant do what it wants. You won't win this battle.
Cetainly not all minis sucker so much. When I was redoing my neglected plants, the only one that was suckering was a girl-leafed "mini." Well, that seemed likely since this plant had had a sucker so large that I couldn't tell which was the plant and which was the sucker so I'd potted them both. Now comes the bad part: It was one of my few unmarked ones and it's Fantasy Girl. It's a vintage one and it's supposed to be a standard.
Smitten Kitten hasn't suckered and it's a truly small mini. I've had a sport of Misty Miss and that didn't sucker nor did Baby Moonbeam. None of my semis suckered either. Now some of these are Pittman plants and maybe that has something to do with it.
If I recall correctly, some of Rob's can be sucker factories, at least until they get going.
Maybe that it is why I had problems finding Aly's Blizzard Bunny. i lost my little semi white NOID and needed a replacement. It looked like a nice little plant but wasn't carried many places.
I agree with Diana, most of my mini violets from robs do sucker a lot. Come to think of it so do some of my semi minis from robs. Its like when I see a sucker on a plant, I'll think " this has to be a robs" and yes it turns out it is. I thought I was the only one experiencing this and I was doing something wrong.
My ABB blooms well but does not look like a trailer. It looks like a multi-crowned mini. It is rather small.
I also have a few micro's only one of which is single crown.
As noted, some minis and semis do not sucker much, if at all. These are the ones that do well as show plants, (depending on bloom) as they do not need to be tortured into sticking to the standard. My ABB would never be entered into a show because it just does not want to conform.
Personally, I think violets hybridized by commercial growers have a tendency to sucker more than those grown by home growers. One of the reasons plants sucker is stress. Commercial growers grow out their plants in a greenhouse: perfect conditions-light, water, humidity, etc. The plants are hot-house babies who have a difficult time adjusting to home conditions. They get stressed by less than ideal conditions and throw suckers. A hybridizer who is growing in her basement is going to produce plants that are tougher and used to less than ideal conditions. These conditions do not stress them into throwing out copious amounts of suckers.
It would be an interesting experiment to see if this follows true.
Suckering is also in a plant's genetics. How much of the trailer gene a plant carries and whether it is expressing itself will both have an influence.
Of course, my Ramblin' Lassie and Pixie Blue aren't suckering either and they are supposed to be trailers :). Ramblin' Lassie has never been much of a rambler.
I keep forgetting my semis that are in the other windows. There's been no suckering on them either - mostly Lyons - Snuggles, Snuggles Little Dreamer, Ice Storm, Ness's Crinkle Blue. I think I got them all. Pixie Blue does have a few little ones.
I do think I've seen others say that Rob's sucker over the years. It may not be all of them for he has put out so many varieties. I grew some and but don't recall the details.
This post was edited by quimoi on Fri, Mar 21, 14 at 14:57
Linda, Just to clarify, are you saying that if a sucker is removed at home to start a new plant, or a multiple crown divided, or a leaf started, the resulting new plants might be less likely to sucker because they are acclimated to a different environment? (Normally, I don't grow out the new plants for a long enough time to observe. I usually give them away before they reach that point.) Here is a question related to that. I had a theory that leaves from plants that are likely to sucker will produce multiple babies. That might be more of a genetics consideration.)
@ Diana, Is Ness Crinkle Blue more blue than violet in color? Joanne
This post was edited by fortyseven on Fri, Mar 21, 14 at 15:50
Sometimes a violet that is started again through a generation or so will adapt to your conditions. Some are just fussy varieties and never will.
I have never noticed or read about sucker-prone plants producing more babies. It would be interesting to follow some leaves while rooting and see what happens. What I have noticed is that the larger the leaf, the fewer babies it produces. It seems kind of backward but for me that is usually what happens.

This means PlayStation Network and Xbox Live, as well as other online platforms, will block 'underage users' from multiplayer services. It's to fight 'growing games addiction'.
South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family spearheaded the law as a way to combat what they see as videogames addiction.
The 6 hour block is off limits to anymore 15 years-old or younger. Critics have argued it violates the rights of children and that the government has failed to prove that playing video games is more harmful than TV, movies, listening to music or other home bound activities. Korean game studios call it a measure of "excessive prohibition".
Of course where there's a new rule there's almost always a new loophole to be exploited. Some younger gamers are simply using their parents' accounts to bypass the 'gaming curfew'. Life finds a way.

When the all-new 2013 Toyota Avalon arrives later this year, it will hit the streets with the line's first ever hybrid powertrain. Toyota has announced that the 2013 Avalon will be offered with either a standard V6 engine or the first full-hybrid system in the premium mid-size segment. The Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive system will give the Avalon Hybrid an EPA rating of 40 mpg combined.
The 2013 Avalon Hybrid is powered by a full power-split hybrid system. The Avalon Hybrid features a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle, four-cylinder engine, a 244.8-volt nickel-metal hydride battery pack, and a pair of electric motors within the transaxle. The Avalon Hybrid achieves a total system output of 200 horsepower and offers three different driving modes: EV, ECO and SPORT. The Avalon Hybrid is rated at 40 mpg in the city and a 39 mpg on the highway with a combined 40 mpg EPA-rating.
The Avalon Hybrid features three different driving modes. EV mode gives the Avalon Hybrid the ability to travel up to one mile in full electric mode at speeds up to 25 mph. Toyota claims that this mode is perfect for residential areas and parking garages. The ECO mode uses both the electric and four-cylinder motors, but reduces its throttle response and air conditioning output to help improve overall efficiency. The SPORT mode alters the engine's throttle response and improves the hybrid's steering response for the best performance.
Overall the Avalon Hybrid has a nice advantage over the standard Avalon, which only gets 21 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. The introduction of the Avalon Hybrid also now means that Toyota has seven hybrid models to choose from, not including the Lexus hybrids.

Anyone have info on Betsy?
Been reading about the fires in the Santa Cruz Mtns., and the first person who came to mind is Betsy Clebsch, who reportedly lives there. Anyone have info on how she and her wonderful Salvias are faring?
If you travel up CA 84 (La Honda Road) from Woodside up to Sky Londa crossroads from the back side of Stanford University, the Summit Road fire is in the canyon to the east of the crossroads (Santa Clara valley side). If they can't control the fire, it will reach Skyline Drive, but a few miles north from the side road where Betsy lives. J. L. Hudson is further down the road, and his evacuation road to Skyline Drive is far less convenient.
Everyone is on alert and coping with smoke. Residents like Betsy and JLH would have to evacuate towards the south, towards Santa Cruz. They are on the Pacific ocean side of the crest, not in the canyon where the fire is.
Here is a link that might be useful: Summit fire URL

Just a quick note to tell you how wonderful our anniversary at South Padre in unit #707,
Over Memorial day weekend was. The views from our rooms far exceeded our expectations.
It was great to watch sunrise over the beach for breakfast, then later in the day enjoying
a cocktail on the back deck watching the sunset over the Bay. We will be back soon.
Also, thank you for getting everything together for us on short notice.
Thanks again,
Julia & Greg

Rocket City Marathon Race Report
Posted Oct 22 2008 6:15pm
I spent the couple of months preceding this race in a tizzy about running in freezing weather. My performance at cold races has been poor and I was very worried about completing the Rocket City Marathon within the six hours allowed.
Although there was online registration, I actually sent in a check to register. This went very smoothly and I soon saw my name on the online confirmation list. About a week before we left for Huntsville, Alabama I received the 2007 race information book. This 60 page tome had information about everything from course maps to local attractions and restaurants. Anything that wasn't included wasn't worth knowing.
The race sold out at 1500 a few days before race day. What a difference from our last race,
NYC Marathon
. Accordingly we lowered our expectations because some of the small races we've run didn't have all the necessities or amenities. Unnecessarily since almost everything was well done.
The expo was held on Friday and it was open all day (it was also open on Saturday during the race). Like everything else it was held at the host hotel, the Holiday Inn. We headed over there, got our bibs and chips and picked up our shirts. We all know my issues with shirts being loose enough; I had asked for an XXL since they were doing sizing by sex. They also were doing different colors. The female shirt was was a tech fabric pink and like most Nike shirts was tightly fitted. It didn't come in an XXL and the XL wouldn't have fit me on a good day, so I was offered the option to take the blue tech men's shirt. Yeah! I liked that color even better!
We didn't notice until my sis pointed it out that our names were written on the bib. Darn, no anonymity during this race. There really wasn't a goody bag; the bag we got had lots of ads, race fliers, coupons, and nothing else. There also wasn't much in the way of samples at the expo but I didn't really need any extra stuff.
The expo had a number of vendors, several selling incredibly discounted shoes and clothes. I bought a long sleeve tech shirt for $10 and Sandy bought two pairs of shoes at half off the normal price.
Like most southern races this was run on a Saturday morning. Starting time was scheduled for 8:00 am so we got to sleep in a little. My sis got up and left just before our alarms went off; she's more used to early mornings and wanted to get out of town before roads closed. Sandy and I arose, did the morning things, and headed across the street to the start.
There was a bank of porta potties but we walked into the hotel and used the bathrooms inside. When we walked back outside they were calling runners to the starting area so we went to line up. At the back. There were pacers holding signs and we went back behind the last one. Several people hung out back there with us, including one dude dressed up as Mr. Incredible. Yikes, he was going to melt.
Because it was already warm out. At the gun it was about 62 degrees, overcast and pretty darned humid. I ran the race with shorts, a short sleeved top, my buffs and my hat. I tossed the gloves on a curb before we even started. My sunglasses were on top of my head would be pretty useless for most of the day.
The anthem was sung and the gun shot rang out. We were off! With so few people it thinned out pretty quickly. There were people around me but not too many. I tried to run my own race, staying as slow as possible at the start. The race wound around the historic downtown area before heading south.
There was a brief downpour that had me seeing visions of slogging through wet streets like at
. Luckily it stopped quickly with only a bit of drizzle for the rest of the day.
The route was the most twisty turny of any race I've done to date. This was done to keep us off busy streets and to help us avoid big hills. There were people at every turn so you could know ahead of time that you'd turn. But not which way. The volunteers weren't standing there with an arm out pointing which way to go. Which we really couldn't expect them to hold out their arm for hours on end but it would have helped pick a tangent. There were arrows painted on the roads before, during and after each turn.
The only long stretch of straight road was from about mile 9-1/2 to about 14-1/2. It was a straight, flat stretch directly into a headwind. A cool wind so I didn't want to complain too much. Well, the complaint would have been in my head, but I still tried to stay cheery. Heh. Yeah, me cheery. Shut up.
Aid stations were were located about every 2-3 miles. They had water and gatorade and one or two stations later in the race had gel. I hit two that closed early, the boy scouts horsing around and ignoring people running by (and getting in our way). The first time that happened I needed to fill my bottle and had to stoop to the curb and grab three cups of water. I felt bad taking so many since there weren't many there, but I needed the fluids. The second closed station didn't even have cups left out. I hoped that there would be some open later and and there were.
At every intersection with possible traffic there were police directing and giving right-of-way to the runners. They were fantastic, and knowing I didn't have to even pause made things even easier. We had been promised six open hours and the police and volunteers were there the entire time.
With a couple of exceptions there were not many spectators. One exception to that was a group picketing a women's health clinic. ::sigh:: I really would have like to brain one of them with their own hateful sign but decided to focus on the race. The other main exceptions were two groups of students from the local high school. The were hilarious. One group actually did the wave for me when I ran by all on my lonesome. The other group yelled and cheered and made lots of noise. It was a great break from the monotony.
Porta potties were available along the route but I didn't have any need. Plus, I was in a hurry and didn't even want to take a minute or two.
Run run run, turn, uphill grade after uphill grade. Nothing big but it seemed to never be flat, always that very slight uphill grade. Turn turn turn, run run and walk. I stuck with 9:1 until mile 16, then went to 4:1, then went to whenever whatever.
I finally pounded across the finish line in 5:57:57 chip time, 5:58:59 on the clock; two whole minutes faster than I thought I would finish. I could hear my name being called as I panted to a stop. I saw the photographer snapping pictures and a woman took charge of me. She put my medal around my neck, led me to the chip removal people and then sheepishly handed me a hat.
Which had "2006 finisher" on it. Wha??? She explained that they ran out of hats and were giving out some old ones they had. Nuh-uh, I wasn't going for that! I wanted my promised premium! I had just run for six hours and I wanted my hat. Yeah, just like a two year old I was ready to pitch a fit and start crying. My handler led me to a harassed looking lady who wrote down my bib number and said she didn't know if they'd be ordering more. Oh yeah, my lips were quivering. I was very very unhappy.
The woman led me further along the way to the water coolers so I could get a cold drink, then took her leave. There weren't any heat sheets but since it was over 70 degrees it wasn't really necessary. I knew it would be a while before I cooled down. Sandy joined me and commiserated about the whole hat thing; she hadn't gotten a current one either. I sent her back to put her name on the list and headed into the hotel toward the food.
I wasn't expecting anything much since the food section was supposed to close at six hours and it was six hours. I wasn't too sure which way to go so I just wandered forward. To my surprise the food tables were still there, loaded with food. I got a lunch bag and put in a nice ripe banana (they had apples and oranges too), then a chocolate
moon pie
. They had little ice cream sandwiches which I passed up since the cold water had already given me brain freeze. The next two tables had bagels, cream cheese, peanut butter, jelly. A volunteer spread my requested cream cheese and strawberry jam on a half bagel and I continued down the line. There was also hot soup that looked too beefy to me to be interesting so I passed. I ate my bagel, found Sandy and we wandered back across the street to get a shower.
After cleaning up we slowly made our way back to the host hotel for the award ceremony. We normally wouldn't bother but this time they were having a random drawing at the end of the ceremony for two $500 cash awards that you had to be present to win. Yup, we'd give up lazing around in bed for that chance. We got back in the middle of the age group awards, found seats and listened to names being called.
The ceremony was kind of mesmerizing. Names called, people weren't there, next name called, next, next. Then horrifyingly a woman started screaming. A man had a seizure. Someone called 911 and the EMS and Paramedics soon arrived and took care of him. It was scary to everyone that this happened but the responders had him lucid and talking before carrying him away for further medical assistance.
After a short speech on the efficacy of prayer (it's the south) the ceremony continued and finally they got to the drawing. Kind of strange how they did it but whatever. The names were called and finally two people were present and collected. It wasn't either of us so we slowly arose and left.
I have very few complaints about this race and lots of positive thoughts; it was one of the best organized and supported that I've run. It would have been nice to get a hat but I got an email last week that they've ordered more and they'll arrive in January. I'll post a picture here when I get it. Or else I'll post an addendum whining that it never came!
My race bear came from the Space and Rocket Center, the largest space museum "on Earth" and a fascinating place to spend some time. Obviously, his name is Rocky!
Funny thing about the medal. When we were wandering around the airport the next day we met up with a young guy wearing the race hat. Yeah, that hat. I told Sandy to distract him while I ran off with his hat. Heh. Instead we all started talking and had lunch together with him. He pointed out that on the back of the medal was written "2007 Rocket City Marathon FINSHER Huntsville, AL." We said yeah, it said finisher. Nope, it says "FINSHER."
In my email thanking the race organizer for such a well run race, I mentioned that most of us hadn't noticed the misspelling. Her reply: "
Well that is the first comment on the medal.
We meant to do that…it's a southern thing!
Bwahahahah; Riiiiight!
ETA: On 1/7/08 I received the finishers hat!

hen you decided on the title for your new book Cenotaph ["empty tomb" in Greek], were you thinking of the most famous of cenotaphs, the one designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens for the English soldiers missing in the First World War, or were you simply taken by the idea of a cenotaph?
I was drawn to the idea of an empty tomb, something that should be holding something but isn't, that is vacant. In the two earlier books in this sequence, Apocrypha and The Late Romances, there is something of a spiritual crisis taking place in the faith that the speaker of Apocrypha once had in the miracle of the empty tomb, that Christ had died and risen. Now, he sees merely a vacancy. The idea of cenotaph was compelling to me for that reason. When I was writing the actual poem "Cenotaph", I had in mind the poet Hart Crane [1899-1932, author of the famous sequence The Bridge] who died at sea, who committed suicide, whose body was never recovered. When I was originally writing the poem, I had the idea of the poem serving as a cenotaph for Hart Crane. All of that got edited out of the poem. It was much longer. I always think I'm going to write a book-length poem and it ends up being a twelve-line poem.
You mentioned that Cenotaph is the third in a sequence. Do you envision closure to this or is it an ongoing project?
Cenotaph should about do it for this particular project. I've called it a triptych rather than a trilogy, because I want the relationship between the books not to be necessarily sequential but designed in such a way that they can present certain concerns and issues in the way a triptych would in visual art. In the center panel there might be a dominant mood and narrative, but the panels on the sides tell other stories, speak in relation to what is in the center. I do see the center panel as The Late Romances, the book that best represents my current psychic state, the two panels on either side being extremes.
As in a Medieval European altar piece, in which you would perhaps see Paradise on the left panel and Final Judgment or Hell on the right?
Yes. Those kinds of borders are spaces between a paradise and the world, the world and hell, or between the spirit and the body, issues that come up in all three books.
There is a character named Prospero who appears in many of the poems in The Late Romances and some of the later ones in Cenotaph. As I was reading, I was wondering which Prospero you had in mind. The most obvious one would be from Shakespeare's The Tempest, but it seems as if you might have also had in mind Pope Benedict XIV, Prospero Lambertini [1675-1758, Pope 1740-1758], known for his erudition and compassion.
The Prospero of my poems is much like Shakespeare's character from The Tempest. He has been on an island, but now he's back in Italy, which is where the poems take place. He could be a renaissance figure or he could be alive now. He doesn't stick around in Milan because it's full of urban blight, so he travels elsewhere, goes to Sienna. It's a bit foolish, actually, to take on a character like Prospero, who speaks some of the best poetry in the language. I like the notion of Prospero being a demiurge, he and the poet being in a similar position. That is to say they can control their little islands with magic, but it doesn't give them much power in the world at large. He is very self-conscious about the act of making and all of the sleight of hand and trickery, artifice, that's involved. There is the question of art, enchantment, and craft, the etymology of a word like craft, and all that it has to do with the making of poems.
The cover of Cenotaph is the painting The Enigma of the Arrival and the Afternoon by Giorgio de Chirico. Is that something you selected personally?
I did select it. It was actually quite complicated, because the image is in a private collection and up until the last minute we were scrambling to get the rights to reproduce it. I kept fighting for this particular image. I've had that good fortune at Knopf. I've chosen the covers of the three books I've had with them, and that's been wonderful. The covers have really reflected the atmosphere of the poems inside. If you can judge a book by its cover, this is a great book (laughs). Many of these poems were written at a time when I was reading de Chirico's writings and thinking about Italian metaphysical painting; the whole notion of mystery and enigma and the uncanny were quite compelling. There is in his works a sense of being in the modern world, the one in which the artist is living, and at the same time they are archaic, or antique. And I was hoping the poems could capture this. They move back and forth idiomatically between higher diction and a more folk-like diction, with blues songs and Bob Dylan.
You first published "The Metaphysician's Insomnia" in The Wallace Stevens Journal. Did you have Stevens specifically in mind when you were writing that?
Oh, yes. What's odd is that my last two books have been reviewed in a good number of places and almost every review brought up Wallace Stevens. I decided that I should show my hand and write a poem in direct acknowledgment of his poems. His poem "Stars of Tallapoosa" is mentioned in "The Metaphysician's Insomnia". I'm imagining a Stevens-like figure in his late nights staying up, not having a happy marriage. He is certainly a poet who has, at least in the last decade, been absolutely central to what I hear as music in poetry. And I'm particularly taken by the meditative mode that he worked in. One of my favorite phrases from him is when he describes the "essential gaudiness of poetry," and one of the things I admire about his writing is that you are never in doubt that you are in a poem. There's an awful lot of poetry out there that does everything it can to deny its artifice, not to call attention to itself, to actually sound like plain speech. One whole branch of modernism was that attempt to get "chit chat" into the poem. As a writer, the thought of forcing talk--for instance what we're doing now--into my poems horrifies me and is the last thing I would want to do. I must say that the poets I admire tend to have very dense and elaborate surfaces, Stevens, Hopkins, late Eliot.
You mention a Cold Spring Brook in Cenotaph. Should I assume that that is a real place?
Yes. My wife and I have spent the last fourteen or fifteen summers in Connecticut. That's where most of our poems have been written. The house is situated on Long Island Sound, so on the left when you look out the back window is the sound and a beach, and on the right is a salt marsh. There's a tidal creek that runs into the salt marsh, and that's Cold Spring Brook. It is a beautiful thing to look at, more so than the sound, which is really just an uneventful lake. I'm from the midwest originally, so I at first resisted the word brook. We wouldn't use that word where I come from, where it's either a river or a creek.
Who among younger poets do you find impressive?
There's a first-book poet named Jan Weissmiller (In Divided Light), whose poems are, if you can imagine this, a cross between Emily Dickinson and Donald Justice. A two-book poet I like a lot is Barbara Jordan (All This Way for the Short Ride and Channel), the poet, that is, not the Senator (laughter).
How about established poets?
Seamus Heaney and Czeslaw Milosz are two of the best living poets. Charles Wright is a personal favorite. I certainly like Anthony Hecht and Donald Justice. I like Louise Glück a lot. I think she can be uneven at times, but her best are as good as anything out there. Another poet who I think is remarkable but whose poems I hardly understand is Geoffrey Hill. The poems are densely packed.
One of my favorite lines in all poetry is from "The Laurel Axe", the ninth part of An Apology for the Revival of Christian Architecture in England: "tremulous boudoirs where the crystals kissed / in cabinets of amethyst and frost."
Yes, yes. I really learned a lot from that sequence. I learned about the possibilities of a line and how much it can sustain, how much complexity.
What of the "state" of poetry today?
I don't think that we're living in an awful time for poetry. I think we're living in a really rich and vital time. I could name endless lyric meditative poets, but there are others like Susan Howe, Michael Palmer, and Jorie Graham, who are really pushing the limits of poetry. I find them all exciting. My only dismay about the poetry business is how much it's like being a minor movie star sometimes. The celebrity aspect of it all muddies things up. It's hard to talk about poet X's poems without their psychobiography weighing it down.
You often take paintings as partial or whole subjects for your poems. This question might be impossible to really answer, but is there a particular period to which you are drawn?
I wanted to be a visual artist when I was growing up. I found I was more competent as a poet, but I continued to dabble as an amateur visual artist. I am drawn mostly to Italian artists. That's where my heart is. Having said that, though, I will say that I love Agnes Martin, the contemporary minimalist painter. I like Ellsworth Kelly. Give me a [religious] icon and I'm happy for hours. I think I'm drawn to anything except the obviousness of what we now call postmodernism, where the only emotional possibility is irony. Even there I sometimes find more humor than perhaps the artist intends. The artist I've been drawn to most recently is Joseph Cornell. His shadow boxes are in some ways similar to my poems. I take an accumulation of fragments, a group of lines, and seek a container into which I can place them.
Are you ever inspired by music when writing?
Yes. The book Apocrypha was written with Miles Davis and [J.S.] Bach's The Art of the Fugue. During the writing of The Late Romances, The Magic Flute was on most of the time in the background. That may be behind the operatic quality of a lot of the poems. I have music on all the time. It drives my wife up the wall. She's a writer as well, and she can't write if there's music on. It's a way for me to distract myself from the self-consciousness of writing a poem. Also, I'm always looking to other art forms for possible ways of shaping a poem. The idea of the fugue has been very interesting. I've tried to find ways with the singular voice of the poem to mimic that intricate knotting of the fugue. I spend a lot of time organizing the books so that they'll read as books as opposed to miscellanies of poems, assume larger symphonic shapes. I mentioned earlier that the idea of the triptych is more interesting to me than the trilogy. I hope one day to convince Knopf to publish the three books as a single volume, Apocrypha, The Late Romances, Cenotaph.
What are you working on now?
I'm working on new poems that are a tonal departure from the earlier ones. My older works were doleful and solemn, elegiac; the new poems are more mischievous and erotic, their sensuousness more toward pleasure than self-recrimination (both laugh). I know that I'm still finding my way. Even though I have about a half-book of poems written, I would usually by now have a working title and be writing poems specifically for that collection. That indicates to me that I've managed to leave the older poems behind.

Amen to that. If you look at the Google Fiber Cities plan at https://fiber.google.com/newci...

So if anything, Google Fiber appears to be trying to bring the poors up rather than help the richers widen the gap.

If the Frost Report sketch on the British class system were to be restaged today then John Cleese, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett would have to be accompanied by a further four comedians of varying stature.
One of the largest surveys of British class undertaken — involving 160,000 people — suggests that there are now seven class groupings ranging from the elite to the precariat.
The sketch, which featured Cleese looking down physically on his social inferiors, could be updated by continuing to use Cleese as the upper class figure, but splitting Barker's middle-class man into four roles. Corbett's working-class man, whose catchphrase in the 1966 sketch was "I know my place", would be split into two.
The Great British Class Survey, masterminded by Professor Mike Savage of the London School of Economics and Professor Fiona Devine of the University of Manchester, was primarily conducted on the BBC's website, although the study took in other sources to ensure that it represented all of Britain.
It classifies people using three broad categories: money, social connections and cultural experience.
The elite, comprising 6 per cent of the population, is the top group, with savings of more than £140,000 and, almost certainly, their own home. Almost a quarter of them were privately educated. They are connected to a large number of people and enjoy a diverse cultural experience.
At the opposite end is the precariat, some 15 per cent of the population, who have low incomes (£8,000 after tax), a narrow range of cultural interests and a very like-minded social group. They have, on average, savings of £800 and only one in 30 went to university. It is the closest group to Corbett's character in the original sketch, although he could also aspire to be another category: the "traditional working class".
This group is similarly sized, at 14 per cent of the population, but members are older, better connected and are likely to own their own home.
The middle class is the most populous and diverse. Barker would fit the "established middle class" mould, as do a quarter of the population, but they must share the middle ground with the "technical middle class", "new affluent workers" and "emergent service workers".
The technical middle class, who may be represented by Richard Ayoade's character Moss in The IT Crowd, come from a middle class background and tend to prefer social media to highbrow culture. There are relatively few of them — 6 per cent of the population — and they usually have careers in technical trades and live in the suburbs.
New affluent workers, by contrast, have a working class background and are secure rather than well-off. Like Joanna Page's character Stacey in Gavin & Stacey, they prefer youth culture and sport to theatre and opera and live in old manufacturing centres.
Emergent service workers are the youngest group, with middle class aspirations but no savings with which to buy property.
Professor Savage said that traditional views of class have disguised the extremes that exist in society. He added that the traditional working class, which many view as part of their heritage, is now a small group which is "fading from contemporary importance".
Professor Divine said that the middle classes differ the most from conventional views of the British class system. "There's a much more fuzzy area between the traditional working class and traditional middle class," she said.
The findings were presented at a conference of the British Sociological Association yesterday, and will be published in this month's Sociology Journal.

Canadian history on the block, cheap
A huge cache of Canadian history, stored for 200 years in three wooden chests held at a British estate, is set to be auctioned next month in London — a possible test of whether the controversy-plagued, funding-challenged Library and Archives Canada is still in the business of acquiring newly available treasures of documentary heritage. An extensive and important collection of letters, maps and other original artifacts left to posterity by Sir John Coape Sherbrooke — the Nova Scotia governor who conquered Maine during the War of 1812 and later served as Canada's governor general — is to be sold on June 19 as the showcase lot in a major Bonhams auction of rare books and manuscripts.A large, coloured and "exceptionally fine" map of the village of York and the Lake Ontario shoreline that was created for Sherbrooke in 1817 — showing the future Toronto in such minute detail that individual homes are depicted — is a highlight of the sale, appearing on the cover of the auction catalogue.

Eric Jaffe: Why Historical Maps Still Matter
With 150,000 or so old print maps to his name, David Rumsey has earned his reputed place among the world's "finest private collectors." But the 69-year-old San Francisco collector doesn't have any intention of resting on his cartographic laurels. He continues to expand his personal trove as well as the digitized sub-collection he makes open to the public online — some 38,000 strong, and growing."I'm pretty old for a geek map guy," he says. "But I stay young by embracing new technologies all the time."

38,000 historical maps at DPLA
More than three decades ago, David Rumsey began building a map collection. By the mid-90s he had thousands and thousands of maps to call his own -- and his alone. He wanted to share them with the public.He could have donated them to the Library of Congress, but Rumsey had even bigger ideas: the Internet. "With (some) institutions, the access you can get is not nearly as much as the Internet might provide," Rumsey told Wired more than a decade ago. "I realized I could reach a much larger audience with the Internet."Bit by bit, Rumsey digitized his collection -- up to 38,000 maps and other items -- along the way developing software that made it easier for people to explore the maps and 3D objects such as globes online.

Now, Dr. Hessler has dug deeper into the dynamic of the years between Columbus, in 1492, and Copernicus, in 1543. Science and exploration were stretching minds to distant horizons, once unknown. Copernican astronomy was about to dislodge Earth from the center of the universe, a start to the Scientific Revolution.
