Homeless, not Hopeless

Why are Vancouverites so afraid of homeless people?

At the end of last year, the City of Vancouver faced backlash and protests when one of the locations for its temporary homeless housing project was claimed to be too close to an elementary schooL The location in question was 650 West 57th Ave. in Marpole, making it close to Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School and Sir Wilfrid Laurier Elementary SchooL Distraught parents were protesting with signs that had slogans such as "right idea, wrong location."

According to CBC News, this spring, a few homeless people have had to decline the offer of a spot at this temporary housing location due to community resistance. At least five people who have lived on the streets for a while have turned down housing units due to public backlash in the area They were afraid for their safety (as if living on the streets was that much more safer) and the protests that would likely spring up if they were to move in.

It's no wonder that Vancouver is one of the cities with the most homeless people in the country (a recordbreaking 2,181 in 2018), since our residents would rather they stay in the streets of the Downtown Eastside rather than have a roof over their heads. With the current housing crisis and the rising costs of living accommodation, why does homelessness still sit as a nasty disease in the minds ofVancouverites? Why are our city's most vulnerable still seen as less than human?

This viewpoint holds a number ofhannful assumptions that need to be challenged. The parents who went berserk act as if homeless or recently homeless people, by virtue of that homelessness, are dangerous to their children, or that them being in close proximity will cause their plight to spread like an infectious disease.

The negative preconceived notions that people have about the homeless are, more often than not, based on uninformed opinions rather than facts. A count shows that more than half of Vancouver's homeless have been without a home for less than a year, meaning that the streets are not a permanent home for the majority of the homeless, nor do they want it to be. Most of them end up on the streets as a product of circumstance, rather than malicious intent, laziness, or thoughtlessness. It's usually because they've been laid off or have trouble paying their rent, not because they've squandered their savings.

The ignorant parents who want to shelter their kids from the homeless are overlooking the fact that, no matter what, their kids will come across the homeless sooner or later. If they don'tteach them now when they're open to learning new ideas and accepting different kinds of people, then the kids won't know how to deal with the reality of their existence later in life.

With the upbringing they're getting, they'll more likely be part of the problem than the solution. The attitudes that these parents are displaying are setting them up to hate homeless people, a cycle of hate based on unfounded prejudice. And if, by chance, they end up homeless themselves - though we do wish the best for them - then they'll be stuck with the same hatred that they had learned as children, but this time, it'll be directed at themselves.

If the people in these housing units were actually dangerous in any way, shape, or form, then one could consider that perhaps having homeless housing close to two schools is not a good idea. But that's not true - I'd trust that if they've gone through enough background checks to receive the housing, then they should be pretty clean. There should be absolutely no reason for anyone to have a problem with this.

Dismissing the homeless as incapable of being close to small children without bringing them harm is a dangerous assumption to make. And by qualifying them by this one feature, the fact that they're homeless and nothing more, disregards everything else about them that makes them human. It ignores all the many facets that make up the story that led them to the streets in the first place.

What these parents and other discriminatory people need to do is to empathize with them and realize that they're just trying to get through each day like we are. If they did, they might have a very different viewpoint on the issue, instead of painting them with such broad strokes, and they might even begin to empathize with their journeys. A roof over a homeless person's head can be the starting point for them to turn their life around.

Red Sun Rising Over B.C...•

from "the Library

In 1778, Captain James Cook was the first European. to land himself and his men at what is now known as Bntish Columbia. In particular he landed two British ships at Nootka Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island and began trading clothes, beads and knives for otter furs which he and his crew sold in China and Europe.

By 1786, the British had control of a successful fur trade with the aboriginals. It was not until 1792 that now-captain George Vancouver, who served ~.sa midshipman during Cook's fatal voyage to Hawaii, e~plored the water near what is now known as the-City of Vancouver. 'The rest is history'; and to add, no matter how good, bad, or repeated.

New Non-Fiction Bookapalooza! These will all be hitting the shelves by the time you read this, so act quickly.

What is part and parcel of this essay are the fires burning now in BC forests. In total, on Aug 19,2018,595 fires are burning on over 43,000 hectares or 430 Sq.km.

The Vancouver region is about 115 sq.km. so an area approximately 4 times this size is on fire. The destructive potential where fire burns is immense.

I contrast this with the destructive actuality of Europeans on Indigenous Peoples' way of life, even though no precise comparison exists. The threatened or actual evacuation of a few thousand rural people and the destruction of their places of residence is next to nothing when set beside the complete taking away of the land etc which was, in a manner of speaking, 'owned & operated' by Indigenous peoples for 15,000 years.

In compensation Natives received, starting with John MacDonald and all the churches of Canada, residential schools, free room & board (housing in the form of prisons) and small amounts of money for land & resources whose worth extravagantly exceed the value of the money given.

In conclusion, I am somewhat delighted to observe a red sun rising in the morning. This occurrence can only, perhaps, signify that non-native BCers will finally acknowledge what the past 250 years has done to or negatively affected Aboriginal people, including myself.

Perhaps we - that is Indigenous People - do a red sun to lead us into a new and brighter future. As trapper Bud Napoleon stated: "We borrowed the land from our children, so we've got to leave something for them."

All our relations ...

Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape is an example of one o~ the hottest micro-genres in publishing today: the SCIentology memoir. This one is written by Jenna Miscavige Hill, the niece of the church ofScientology'~ current leader, and details what it's like to grow up In the cult, and then leave it at the age of 21.

Chinese Fairy Tales & Fantasies is a classic collection of exactly what the title says. It's really an interesting read, as many of the tales are about the Confucian Bureaucracy of pre-modern China, and provide some interesting insight into how Chinese society was organized at the time, as does the introduction.

Ben Mezrich wrote the non-fiction books on which the movies 21 and the Social Network were based.

His The 37th Parallel: The Secret Truth Behind America's UFO Highway follows Chuck Zukowski, an obsessive UFO investigator from El Paso, Colorado. It looks like quite a fun read, but be warned that several of the subjects of Mezrich's other books have claimed that he fictionalized significant portions of their stories, so it may not be an entirely accurate depiction.

Haynes is a publisher known for its auto repair manuals, but I guess for fun or something, they've decided to publish a manual for The Modem Man, subtitled Owners' Improvement Manual. It's pretty broad ranging - everything from how to properly cut an onion to how to tie a tie. Books like this are always fun to look up the difference between White Tie and Morning Dress, at the very least.

Happy Reading, Randy

zs", 6 -

8pm

The stuff you spend hours worrying about or getting excited over doesn't really matter. Focus instead on the deeper things that really count toward a happy life.

"Rule Number Two: Let go of the past."

Regrets and bitterness hold you back. The past cannot be changed. Life only ever moves forward.

"Rule Number Three: Everyone dies with a to-do list."

Don't make work your life, unless it's something you truly enjoy. Don't glamourize busy-ness.

"Rule Number Four: Assholes exist."

Forget trying to make everyone happy. The world is full of asses. Don t waste your time trying to understand them or please them.

"Rule Number Five: Stop waiting."

It's so easy to delay doing something, just because we're waiting for the situation to be perfect. It will never be perfect. Do it now anyway.

"Rule Number Six: Know you're fucking awesome!"

It's so easy to forget how amazing you are. You're always uniquely you, no matter how hard you try not to be. Accept it, love yourself, and go live it large.

Passing on the lessons to help remind you to live an awesome life today.

We're pleased to announce that Carnegie Kitchen's renovations are done!

The kitchen re-opened on the morning of July 11 after undergoing renovations for the past few months. The renovations have helped create a bright and inviting cafeteria with new equipment, better use of space and larger serving areas, making Carnegie a better place for community member to get healthy, nutritious meals.

The Carnegie Community Centre cafeteria serves low-cost, nutritious meals, 365 days a year - serving approximately 280,000 meals annually.

Over the past few months, Carnegie Community Centre's team of chefs cooked meals offsite every day. Meals were then transferred to Carnegie.

Below: New and improved kitchen, re-built from the ground up!

Programs in the gymnasium start up again on September 1, so keep your eyes peeled for information about fall activities, including line dancing, floor hockey, soccer, ping pong, powwow dancing, and more!

From the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives What do the two largest mining disasters in Canada's and Brazil's histories have in common?

A lot, it turns out.

While Canada and Brazil are two very different jurisdictions, the latest report from the Corporate Mapping Project finds the circumstances that led up to the Mount Polley tailings dam breach in central BC and the collapse of the Fundao dam in Mariana, Brazil share some remarkable similarities.

In August 2015, the dam holding back toxic mining waste ("tailings") at the Mount Polley mine in central British Columbia collapsed, spilling 24 million cubic metres of metals-laden fine sand and water into the surrounding forests and waterways. Just over one year later, an even more horrendous spill occurred at a mine in Mariana, Brazil, killing 19 people and leaving hundreds homeless, and contaminating the Rio Doce river system.

Report author Judith Marshall notes that "in both cases, the companies rapidly expanded production when metal prices rose, made generous political contributions to governments, and lobbied for industry-friendly regulations. When the boom in metal prices ended, they reduced maintenance and inspections of their faulty dams, and set the stage for the disasters to come."

While the new BC government has taken some important steps to mitigate the power of the mining industry, Tailings dam spills at Mount Polley and Mariana: Chronicles of disasters foretold warns that much more is needed to reduce the risk of future disasters.

To learn more, you can read the full report here <https:llwww.corporatemapping.ca/tailings-disasters>.

We're proud to be eo-publishing this report with the Wilderness Committee, and Brazil-based PoEMAS (Grupo Politica, Economia, Mineracao, Ambiente e Sociedade).

We're also excited to announce that Bruno Milanez, coordinator ofPoEMAS, will join report author Judith Marshall to speak about the mining industry at upcoming public talks in Vancouver and Victoria in early October - stay tuned for details.

But for now, check out these two fantastic opportunities: to celebrate inspiring young leaders, and to learn about the upcoming electoral reform referendum in BC. Call for applications: Power of Youth Awards We are now accepting applications <https:llwww.policyalternatives.ca/offices/bc/power-of-youth> for our annual Power of Youth Leadership Awards which recognize and celebrate young ÂŤ 32 years old) progressive leaders in BC who are driving change towards a more socially, economically and environmentally just society.

The award is given in two categories: - Engaging in research, analysis and the development of solutions to key issues facing us today; and - Contributions to social movement building.

If you are or you know a young leader in BC, encourage them to learn more and apply by September 28th.

Watch live: Seth Klein talks electoral reform On Tuesday, September 18 at 5:30 PM, tune in to an important conversation on why voting 'Yes' to proportional representation in the upcoming fall referendum is so crucial.

Seth Klein, the BC Director of the CCPA, will outline a clear and compelling case for change, which we'll broadcast live. To watch, simply bookmark our Facebook event page <https:llwww.facebook.com!events/2226065750797392/> and be sure to visit on September 18 at 5:30 PM, when the live video stream will begin (you do not need a Facebook account to watch).

SANDY CAMERON MEMORIAL WIUTlNEi CONTEST Only Two Weeks Left!

If it was not for the fact that I am married to the Editor of the Camegie Newsletter, I would probably be entering an essay or poem - or one of each! - in the 2018 Sandy Cameron Memorial Writing Contest. But, since that would put Paul into a conflict of interest situation, I am doing the next-best thing. I am strongly recommending that YOU enter!

Sandy Cameron always encouraged people to write. If someone told him a story, he would often suggest that the person put the story in writing. Sandy published essays, short stories and poetry during his lifetime, and was a much-loved, regular contributor to the Camegie Newsletter. A writing contest is a great way to honour his memory.

For those of you who have not started writing your contest entry yet, here are some points to consider: The contest has what the publishing industry refers to as "low barriers" for entries. In other words, Paul will accept hand-written submissions. Whenever I have seen an entry form for any other writing contest, the rules state that submissions must be typed. Some contests even go so far as to insist that the writers use a specific typeface and font size for their entries. At the Carnegie Newsletter, the Editor will type your submission for you. Can you imagine an editor at the New York Times doing that?!

There are no entry fees. Most other writing contests make people pay a fee to enter the contest to cover "administrative costs". The beauty of having a volunteer-run publication is that administration costs are kept to a bare minimum. Therefore, you do not need to pay anything to enter this contest.

There is an excellent chance that your contest entry will be published. Most writing contests will only publish the winning entry or, maybe, the top two or three entries. One writing contest I saw reserved the right not to publish the winning entry if a certain editor did not think that it met a particular publication's standards. However, all of the winning entries for the Sandy Cameron Memorial Writing Contest will be published in the Carnegie Newsletter. Last year, the first, second and third prize-winning essays were published, as well as the entries that were cited at the top of the list of honourable mentions.

We have some great prizes for the contest winners. Thanks to the generosity of the folks at the Heart of , the City Festival, we are able to offer $100 for the first-place essay and $100 for the first-place poem this year. We also have second-place prizes of $75 and third-place prizes 0[,$50 for both contest categories. Wow! Last year, in addition to the cash prize, the winning essay writer also received a fountain pen that was donated by the Vancouver Pen Shop. Although I do not know what they will be yet - I am in the process of seeking donations - I can assure you that we plan to give writing-oriented keepsake prizes along with the cash prizes.

Some writers self-publish chapbooks of their poetry or stories. Printing costs can be expensive so only a limited number of each chapbook is created. That means that, if you print 50 chapbooks, only 50 people will be able to read and enjoy your work. The Newsletter publishes 1,200 copies of each issue. If your poem or essay wins one of the top prizes in the Sandy Cameron Memorial Writing Contest, at least 1,200 people will have access to it.

The judges for the Sandy Cameron Memorial Writing Contest will be asked to provide constructive feedback on all the entries they read. All of the judges will be people who have personal experience in the Downtown Eastside and are regular readers of the Camegie Newsletter. They will also be volunteers. I received some positive comments from writers after last year's writing contest about the judges' feedback and how the suggestions helped the writers to improve their skills. You can learn a lot by hearing what someone likes about your writing!

I recently treated myself to the "summer reading" issue of The Walrus magazine (July/August 2018, volume 15, number 6). In that issue, Editor, Jessica Johnson, wrote: "I am often asked how I edit ... I look for whether a story makes sense to itself. Does the reader have the information they need - no more, no less? Does the writing make you want to keep reading, or does it feel like work?" I hope that you find encouragement in her words. If you write a good essay, your reader will understand what you are trying to communicate. If your poem touches a reader in some way, they will look forward to reading more of your work. The contest closes at 12:00 noon on Saturday, September 15,2018. Good luck!
