A

pretty bizarre provincial all-candidates meeting in t h e Theatre t h e other night.

Teabags b e i n g tossed around, a guy standing at attention holding a mop - mocking t h e candidatesp placard carriers - s o m e hollering and anger and insults..

Through it a1 1 c a m e an overwhelming impression of t h e frighteniong shal lowness of most o f the candidates, and their platforms.

O n e inescapable copnclusion is left: t h e " common good" they all profess t o seek,will undoubtedly turn out, t h i s time, a s in t h e past, t o b e n o good at all for t h e people of this area.

Fight for yourselves and your neighbours. And start looking among your own for a candidate t o run next time.

Give up on these tailor-made imports.

Roll your own,or nary a whiff of Carnegie or t h i s area will ever get t o Victoria.

p a t t e r n s and t h e personal experience o f being 5 0 c i a l o u t c a s t s themselves, tend t o have a h a r d t i n e a t Carnegie, and i n some cases, even pass t h e i r f r u s t r a t i o n s on t o our patrons--many of whom have a1r e a d y been over loaded w i t h such a t t i t u d e s i n t h e past.

I n my o p i n i o n , t h o s e who have l i v e d t h e l i f e o f the streets, been wanderers or g y p s i e s a t some t i m e i n t h e i r past, or have i n some way 1ived o u t s i d e o f c o n v e n t i o n a l society--and are t o some extent, social misfits themselves are better qualified to serve and communicate w i t h , Downtown Eastsiders.

Those who have l e a r n e d t o be honest, real human beings i n an unconventional sense--of t en through coping w i t h a s e r i e s o f mis-adventures are, i n my opinion, t h e best people t o r u n t h e C e n t r e on a day t o d s y basis.

The ways i n which our s o c i a l system f a i l s t o serve t h e best interests of i t s rnembers, i l l u s t r a t e the fact that, as a s o c i e t y , we have neglected to learn the 1essons o f f a i lure--and where else can we learn such 1 essons, b u t from t h o s e who have gathered them from p e r s o n a l experience.

Nut o n l y should our working staff be p a t i e n t , humane, coritpassi onate and fair i n d i v i d u a l s w i t h a good sense o f humour --but t h e y must a1 so speak the language o f the .,-,nl ; >&-C-( -I , 4 . 1 . - : .-

visions.

They must have t h e k i n d o f inner strength that can o n l y be gained from a deeper t h a n average personal experience o f b e i n g s o c i a1 o u t c a s t s themsel ves.

Whenever p o s s i b l e , Carnegi e staff s h o u l d be members o f t h e community.

But just l i v i n g i n t h e community i s no guarantee t h a t a person w i l l b e humane and democratic in their attitude.

Downtown Eastsiders are not saints.

In fact, there are j u s t as r ac ia1 bigots and many authority freaks in this community as t h e r e a r e i n any other.

The i m p o r t a n t t h i n g i s t h a t Carnegie s t a f f rf~embersshould be humane, compassionate, fair and intelligent in dealing with patrons.

They should also be patient, unusual 1y c a r i n g individuals who take t h e time t o listen and respond i n a way t h a t i s meaningful t o neighbourhood people.

We w i l l never get 100% perfection i n staff-patronvolunteer relationships. one is p e r f e c t a l l t h e tin,,, and t h e p e r s o n a l problems o f Downtown E a s t s i d e r s a r e o f t e n c h a r a c t e r i z e d by intensely emotional a t t i t u d e s b u i l t up from t h r o u g h years o f abuse, neglect, and soc i a1 repression.
