Between t h e h o u r s o f 12:30 and 12:45 I went to the Hotel on East Sunrise H a s t i n g s , t o g a t h e r material for a s t o r y I w a s writing. I s a t down n e a r t h e c e n t r e portion of t h e hotel.

My 'back w a s t o t h e w a l l at all t i m e s and I w a s i n p o s i t i o n

t o see what w a s g o i n g on.

I1

S i t t i n g i n t h e northeast corner of t h e bar, I asked a few p e o p l e t h a t I knew from t h e 1960's what i t w a s l i k e now. C l o s e t o 1 p m t w o P o l i c e Officers came bolting through the doors.

Two junkies, o n e a known d e a l e r

having a drug t r a n s a c t i o n almost complete, were s t a r t l e d on seeing the Police r u s h i n g towards them.

They t r i e d t o make a r u n f o r it.

I n d o i n g so, one drcpped a p i l l - a t t h e same t i m e one yelled, ' # 5 ! ! X pigs!" After a slight scuffle, on e o f f i c e r grabbed t h e p i l l and t o o k b o t h men t o t h e back o f the hotel.

I t r i e d t o pick up t h e i r conversation, but t h e bar was f a i r l y loud.

I t h e n took some q u i c k notes.

Being bored w i t h t h e whole charade, I left and went across t h e s t r e e t t o the pawnshop for my cassette deck. I went back t o t h e Sun r i s e e n t e r i n g the door on t h e south-southeast side.

The two O f f i c e r s were still i n t h e back w i t h t h e i r two have suspects.

They m u s t been i n t h e h o t e l a t l e a s t a ha1 f an hour.

Seeing m e enter t h e bar and g e t t i n g myself a ginger ale, they l e t t h e two suspects 90I s a t near t h e door i n t h e S-SE s e c t i o n , being c a r e f u l w i t h m y machine and p u t t i n g

The o f f i c e r s walked p a s t my table, g i v i n g me an e v i l look.

I gave them t h e same Look back.

A f t e r f i v e minutes or so, the two o f f i c e r s came back inside.

Making a slight pause, they came over t o m y t a b l e and one asked, "Do you

have p r o o f o f purchase for t h a t machine?"

I t o l d him t h a t he c o u l d check with the pawnshop across t h e s t r e e t .

He t h e n b l u r t e d o u t i n a l o u d voice, "Vancouver C i t y P o l i c e .

You a r e under a r r e s t " I s a i d , "What t h e h e l l f a r ? " He s a i d , "Possession f o r t h e trafficking in purpose o f R i t a l i n . " Again I y e l l e d o u t "What t h e h e l l f o r ? Who s a i d t h a t ? " He t o l d me t h a t he'd heard it from reliable witnesses outside. I s a i d i n a rough t o n e o f voice,"Where a r e t h e y at?"

.

SEARCH They then made a h a l f - a s s e d search o f me, and t h e creep with t h e mustache s a i d " c a l l t h e wagon."

They took me o u t s i d e and began t o search m e again. As p e o p l e s t a r t e d t o gather, he ye1 l e d , "Up a g a i n s t t h e w a l l " assuming I was g o i n g to create a problem.

The ass t h e n t o l d me t o shut up.

VOTE GORDON CAMPBELL FOR M O R Positive Actions for a Positive Future

"Vancouver's children and seniors deserve some special attention from us all!"

POSITIVE ON CHILDCARE AND SENIORS! If the city can afford to park cars, we can afford decent childcare. Let's do it!

Let's help seniors stay in their neighbourhoods by encouraging the development of quality seniors housing throughout the city.

Our seniors often have special needs. We do have special services, but now we need a program that lets seniors know where to find them.
