The Carnegie Board h a s i n s t r u c t e d me t o make a s t a t e m e n t about t h e e d i t o r i a l p o l i c y of t h e Carnegie Newsle t ter . S p e c i f i c a l l y , t h a t t h e News le t t e r i s n o t a forum f o r person- a l a t t a c k s on any member of our community.

We a r e a l l proud of t h e Newsle t ter . It i s a v igorous v o i c e of r e p o r t i n g , op in ion and c r e a t i v i t y i n t h e Down- town E a s t s i d e . Some of t h e op in ions expressed i n i ts pages , e s p e c i a l l y about p o l i t i c i a n s and o t h e r p u b l i c f i g u r e s , a r e s t r o n g - v e r y s t r o n g . That i s a l l t o t h e good. The Downtown E a s t s i d e i s home t o many s t rong- minded peop le , and we have many i s s u e s t h a t a r e impor tan t t o us .

But we must draw t h e l i n e when i t comes t o p e r s o n a l abuse o r i n v e c t i v e a g a i n s t members of o u r community. Many w i l l remember t h e bad o l d days of i n s u l t and p e t t y b i c k e r i n g on our Board. That wasn ' t f r e e speech. I n f a c t , i t had t h e o p p o s i t e e f f e c t , because i t s i l e n c e d many good people by d r i v i n g them o u t , o r making them c y n i c a l o r a p a t h e t i c . That s i t u a t i o n was a b l a c k mark a g a i n s t Carnegie , and indeed t h e e n t i r e Downtown East- s i d e . It d i s c r e d i t e d u s , and kep t u s from f i g h t i n g t h e real problems t h a t f a c e t h e community.

Carnegie members c a l l e d a h a l t t o t h a t . The bad o l d days a r e behind US now. We've had a " f r e s h s t a r t " i n t h e Carnegie Assoc ia t ion . We d o n ' t always a g r e e on e v e r y t h i n g , bu t when we a rgue , w e s t r i v e t o do i t w i t h c i v i l i t y and r e s p e c t .

The e d i t o r i a l p o l i c y i s s imple: you can d i s a g r e e w i t h what someone

acks on a p e r s o n ' s c h a r a c t e r o r mot- i v e s i n l e t t e r s , , a r t i c l e s o r columns.

Here ' s an example. Suppose Carnegie member X makes a s t a t ement t h a t every- body i n Carnegie should be given $10 ou t of A s s o c i a t i o n funds . I f you d o n ' t ag ree , what i s an a c c e p t a b l e r e p l y and what i s n ' t ?

NOT ACCEPTABLE: "Member X i s n u t s . ~ e ' s a card-shark and he wants t o win t h e money away from everybody e l s e , s o he can g e t r i c h . "

ACCEPTABLE: "That i d e a w i l l bank- r u p t t h e Assoc ia t ion . We should spend our money on p r o j e c t s t h a t w i l l have a long-term b e n e f i t , n o t j u s t a quick spending spree . ' '

The second r e p l y d e a l s w i t h t h e subs tance of t h e i s s u e . It d o e s n ' t p e r s o n a l i z e i t . T h a t ' s t h e k ind of d e b a t e and d i s c u s s i o n we want t o s e e i n t h e News le t t e r .

Some p u b l i c a t i o n s d o n ' t b e l i e v e i n t h i s k ind of p o l i c y . The Eas t Ender, f o r i n s t a n c e , r e g u l a r l y pub- l i s h e s a t t a c k s on people i n i t s l e t t e r s columns, and f a c t u a l m i s - s t a t e m e n t s based on what someone s a y s , wi thou t checking i n t o i t t o make s u r e i t ' s t r u e .

Obviously, t h e Carnegie Board and t h e News le t t e r have n o t been 100% s u c c e s s f u l i n s t i c k i n g t o our p o l i c y . Occas iona l ly , t h e r e is an u n f a i r o r h a r s h word exchanged. But t h e r e h a s been s i g n i f i c a n t improvement.

LONG LIVE PIGEON PARK!

It looks l i k e i t ' s t h e beginning of t h e end of t h e � ownt town Easts ide" . So enjoy t h e cracked s idewalks , chipped p a i n t and g e n e r a l unexpurgated mayhem and harmonic d e t e r i o r a t i o n whi le you can. The Man from Glad and M r . Clean a r e look ing a t i t from a l l d i r e c t i o n s and foaming a t t h e mouth.

I n s e a r c h of a morning c o f f e e , I wandered i n t o Carnegie and came a c r o s s a meeting l a s t Fr iday (Sep.30) A t f i r s t a few loud-mouthed whiners were d r o o l i n g about t h e n e c e s s i t y t o have b r i g h t l i g h t s and a curfew at Pigeon Park. You know t h e s i g n s - NO ONE CAN RELAX I N THIS PARK FROM... These squeamish squawkers blame t h e e x i s t e n c e of Pigeon Park f o r random v i o l e n c e and t e n s i o n which occurs i n t h e a r e a . I t h i n k they j u s t l i k e t o look down on people who a r e l e s s p r i v i l e d g e d , poore r , o r have d i f f e r e n t va lues . One i g n o r a n t r a c i s t h a s even w r i t t e n , i n r e f e r e n c e t o Pigeon Park, "Send t h e I n d i a n s back t o t h e rese rv- a t i o n s " ( L e t t e r t o t h e E d i t o r , East- Ender, Sep. 22) .

Well, f i r s t t h i n g s f i r s t , t h i s h e r e is "Indian" l a n d , always w i l l be, and i f you haven ' t f i g u r e d t h a t o u t , I a i n ' t gonna t r y t o change your mind ( j u s t t r y c l o s i n g your eyes f o r 60 seconds) . Secondly, I spend a - l o t of t ime at Pigeon Park a t v a r i o u s hours throughout t h e day and n i g h t and have never wi tnessed any v i o l e n c e t h e r e .

Is i t a l l rumour o r exaggera t ion? I ' v e never seen anybody i n Pigeon Park h a r a s s passe rsby , except perhaps t o i n q u i r e about s p a r e c o i n (but i s t h a t harassment?) . I ' v e never seen any- body d r i n k i n g t h e s a l t y wine, and those who a r e c i v i l i z e d enough t o c r a c k open some u n s a l t e d fermented grape o r b a r l e y u s u a l l y s e e i t g e t poured i n t o t h e garbage can by p o l i c e who r e g u l a r l y p a t r o l t h e a r e a (every 15 minutes) .

I f i n d Pigeon Park t o be a sanctu- a r y , a p l a c e t o go wi thout t h e need of money t o s i t on a bench and dream away whi le t h e world f l o a t s down- stream.

I t h i n k t h e whole Expo s i t e and a d j a c e n t parking l o t s should be a grand r e p l i c a o f Pigeon Park. To g i v e i t a s c i - f i a l l u r e , we could name t h i s v i a b l e money-saving a l t e r n a t i v e development "Daughter o f Pigeon Park", and con- g r e g a t e t h e r e and i n v i t e t h e neigh- bours t o c e l e b r a t e t h e f a i l u r e o f t h e human s p e c i e s t o a t t u n e w i t h t h e ecosphere.

TO: International Longshoremen's & Warehousemen's Union (Vancouver) Local 500 The President and the Executive

Ladies and Gentlemen , This letter follows a previously held discussion regarding the

Christmas activities at the Carnegie Community Centre, between Carnegie Association Board of Directors and Louis A. Kaufman.

As a result of Mr. ~aufman's suggestion, we of the Carnegie Associ- ation are asking your union's executive if you would sponsor a full day's free food at the Centre on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.

As you may very well know, Christmas is a time to rejoyce, but for a great number of people here it has historically been a period of depression. We of the Carnegie Association strive year after year to lessen the stress of these people to the best of our abilities.

In sponsoring this project, your union would be of great help in making Christmas a day to truely rejoyce for the patrons and users of Carnegie, who otherwise would have only four walls to look at.

If you have any questions in regard to this request, I will be more than happy to reply, and to attend your next executive meeting to answer further queries you may have.

Yours truly,

Julien-Joseph Levesque

Prose Ode to Martina Navratilova (in remembrance of Jim Thorpe, et al)

The brooding sky above cast a stare at the infant earth'-

so young, so careless, it mused in its half wake:

is there a gentle way of slowing down this incredible need?

the brooding sky shook its weary head - how can you slow down a child so demanding for total knowledge and consump tion

can you sing a demanding child a gentle song does that stop the rage - can you recite a poem or play a gentle game with a demanding child - or; does the child in reality - only want to play alone!

Was ever strain more graceful? On ice, perhaps. Perhaps.

(Lest dancers protest, we are dancers all.)

the sky looked at young earth and thought of the toys of earth -

nuclear this and diseases of that what a destructive, foolish child - Imagine trying to destroy one's own self and still trying to survive beyond the now -

the brooding sky didn't want to be overly negative or pessimistic -

for surely the child earth would eventually receive a healthy dose of survival wisdom -

but, well, the future seemed far away and the present seemed too destructive and the years before, what were they - a stepping stone

All who share the court learn from her.

She is not the only teacher, she is just the best.

She's teaching relinquishment now. Ask Ms. Graff, if there's doubt; and remember, Steffi, that the Russ- ians keep proving how well they learn. Tennis is, after all, another place where memories go to nurture bitter loss. Tennis is my favourite place.

Stephen David Belkin

the sad sky shivered in its thoughts and tried to think back upon its infancy - its tornadoes, its hurricanes, its floods -

the brooding sky couldn't help but wonder about its lakes and rivers and forests - and its young humans -

and the sad sky said yes, it cared for its young humans - but for what good -

a tear fell - a sadness was conceived but for what good

A WALK IN THE GARDEN

There is a place where there are no faces in the windows anymore Let the prostrated plastic Cat by the roadside attest to that Look - the Elysian Fields are filled with plastic flowers

cigarette butts old newspapers pop cans and herds of cars

The clenched fist under my skull needs to extend its fingers. No My heart is not become a piece of coal and Are these bloodshot eyes Really a mirror of my soul?

Memo To Parents From a Child

1. ~on't spoil me. I know quite well I ought not to have all I ask for - I'm only testing you.

2. ~on't be afraid to be firm with me. I prefer it. It makes me feel secure. 3. ~on't let me form bad habits. I have to rely on you to detect them in

the early stages. 4. ~on't make me feel smaller than I am. It only makes me feel stupidly big. 5. Don't correct me in front of people if you can help it. I'll take much

more notice if you talk quietly with me in private. 6. Don't make me feel that my mistakes are sins. It upsets my sense of values. 7. Don't protect me from consequences. I need to learn a painful way sometimes. 8. Don't be upset when I say, "I hate you." Sometimes it isn't you I hate

but your power to thwart me. 9. Don't take too much notice of my small ailments. Sometimes they get the

attention I need. 10. Don't nag; if you do I shall have to protect myself by appearing deaf. 11. ~on't forget that I cannot explain myself as well as I would like. That

is why I am not always accurate. 12. Don't put me off when I ask questions. If you do you will find that I

shall stop asking and seek my information elsewhere. 13. Don't be inconsistent. That completely confuses me and makes me lose

faith in you. 14. Don't tell me my fears are silly. They are terribly real and you can do

much to reassure me if you try to understand. 15. Don't ever suggest that you are perfect or infallible. It gives me too

great a shock when I discover you are neither. 16. Don't ever thing that it is beneath your dignity to apologize to me. An

honest apology makes me feel surprisingly warm towards you. 17. Don't forget I love experimenting. I couldn't get along without it, so

please put up with this. 18. Don't forget how quickly I am growing up. It must be very difficult for

you to keep pace with me but please do try. 19. Don't forget that I don't thrive without lots of love and understanding,

but I don't need to tell you, do I? 20. Please keep yourself fit afid healthy. I need you.

WELCOME

Smoking is a refusal to live life to the fullest. Whatever Sam'skaras ripen and seek expression/resolution, mental propensities strengthened by negatively perceived experiences - past-living - block the soul's desire to grow with all possible speed toward Thee. ~ ' v e been self-programmed since

adolescence to underachieve ... to come up secondbest or to cause other factors (personal discipline, social behaviour, psychic expression) to necessitate censor by authorities (parents, teachers, the Law, etc.). Growth seems to be consequent on

"being perfect" with the subliminal conviction - again programmed - that the impossibility of this goal makes any true effort in that direction doomed from the start. All methods are just that - methods;

narrow, promising the world, but de- livering little more than frustration. It reads like I need something super- natural, something that isn't logical or reasonable or even possible in my frame of 'reality' - to KNOW that regardless of the consequences I must move on with all possible speed. Taking any method separately makes

the results dismal when the remainder of my being is untouched. Tantrik practice became the mundane world promised by Ba'ba' - "mediocre at best. "

Reading all the books is useless without a spiritual something that makes every experience or word or action or all together be a part of my path. I'm marking time, waiting for Ba'ba' to incontrovertibly say, "Go ahead, start walking. Old sayings about journeys of a

thousand mileslone small step are true and applicable but there is no inner faith. And the smoking goes on - and the inner seeking goes up in smoke and the waiting continues. Thinking five years down the road

gives a blank picture- the only aim in mind is to be an extraordinary human being in all aspects: superb health (prowess, vision, speed, every -thing); awesome intellectual power; and spiritual surety as the founda- tion of all. Nothing less than everything will suffice for the feeling (knowing) that this life is worth it. Being alone for my entire life is

now normal - but it's not natural. Years ago (ah, the past again (they told me the past can teach if you listen to the right words)) body weight was 89 pounds and my most dynamic act was to sit up straight. I began to sit with eyes closed for 16 hours a day, taking no food or water. On the morning of the fifth day it - IT - happened. For almost 5 seconds I found a place inside my- self where no one could go but me, and in that Place something listened! I have no craving for acquaintances

as life provides those all the time. I would like to know a feeling of inner peace and acceptance. 'Welcome to the human race.' Maybe this is the grist for being a Wholetimer; when mundanity threatens in what- ever way or situation, "there is work to do ....... I I

Inner progress must be balanced with action to realise progressive social change. There are no Tantrik monasteries. Inwardly, no progress is more important than getting my- self together to the point of being happy with myself. Outwardly and equally vital is to establish a sentient peace worldwide. Anything less on either journey is a violation of spiritual evolution. The main difficulty is having no clear idea - smoke does that; there's always a haze, an inhibition to stretching be- yond the present level. Intuition is the best when there

are no self-imposed barriers, when I'm actively involved in the war of dharma; the war against 'my own worst enemy' - myself. The corollary to

1 this little homily is, of course, 'my- self - my best friend,' but the ) Infinite is unbounded and I have never

felt limitless. An experience will be the turning

point. C0ntinued;:degeneration with excuse-finding will either remain a constant activity or a true beginning - with my pastlthe past - acceptable. Spiritual practice cannot be depen-

dent upon time, space or persons but must be as solid as light.

11 How are ya'?" "Pretty good."

I see the prostitutes are outraged again about the police doing nothing to protect them. Don't they realize the police hate their guts & want to see them dead? It's a proven fact that police break the bones of citi- zens in jail elevators, & that they think nothing of pumping four bullets into a drunken man weilding a knife on his own front lawn. Of the 5 cops who surrounded him, not one stepped forward with the simple skill of dis- arming a drunken man to save a life. If the prostitutes would read the

newspaper thoroughly every day they would recognize the overwhelming evi- dence that policemen are hired kill- ers in uniform, armed to the teeth & ready to kill at a moment's notice. It also amazes me that community

11 organizers" co-operate with police

on "cleaning up the neighbourhood." Don't they realize that cops will take any opportunity to terrorize an urban community where the majority I

are always involved in some kind of petty transgression of the law. .. whether it be shoplifting, jaywalking, or the'occasional use of soft drugs in their own home.. . This makes you a "criminal" & criminals are fair game for police sadists in a closet fascist society. It's about time Downtown Eastsiders

woke up & realized their real enemy is the government in all its forms.. . especially law enforcement.

Is Marjorie alive? Inquisitive minds want to know, and they want to know RIGHT NOW, DAMMIT!

Was Marjorie Mallard really : chowinn down at Burner Kinn wit1 - - - "not-as-dead-as-had-been-believed" *ion.

1 ir WITH King of Rock 'n' Roll? Has she really "" been hiding behind a paper bag. Did she A - really have a close encounter with Cad;

Reverend Joshua Profit? According to 1 the Irrational Inquisitor, the answer I

to these questions is YES, and the tabloid claims to have documented evidence. If this is true, then some- thing isn't as it's quacked-up to be.

As you may recall, the January 1st issue Y

of the- ~arnegie ~ewsietter reporied that $64 I Marjorie Mallard, a local activist, had met her demise on someone's dinner plate & j i

last Christmas. Subse- zf9a b quent issues had the

finger of accusation pointed at

'*W '* - - yv Captain Chaos (a newsletter writer), h u ,,

who insisted that while he may have done the eating, it was Sam Slanders (another writer) who

\ had done the cooking. Shortly thereafter , Slanders L mysteriously disappeared.

Just recently, the Inquisitor stories were brought to my attention by Chaos, who pointed out that if they were true, then it could not possibly have been Marjorie that he had eaten on Christmas day. Chaos asked me if I would help him "find the duck" and prove his innocence. I decided that I would take this case on and bring my findings back as an exclusive to the Carnegie Newsletter.

? reincarnated During my investigation, I came across an abund-

ance of people who claimed they had seen Marjorie. One woman believes she saw Marjorie's photo on a billboard for Ducks Unlimited. A young boy said he saw her in the movie WHO FRAMED ROGER WBIT..Two teenage punk-rockers said they bumped into Ms. Mal- lard at one of their slamdancing parties. A hooker on Seymour Street claims that three times she had to keep Marjorie from waddling away with her clients. One person even stated she saw Marjorie ducking out behind the Regent Hotel. All these sightings, but still no duck.

Is Marjorie alive? Keep an eye out.. . . .

Seasons

It's fall once again W on the midway What was once the sound of laughter is now the echo of hammers. 1 What was happy screams is now the sound of men working.

The colours are coming off the rides like leaves off the trees.

The rock and roll has faded PY to the roar of trucks. 1 The bright lights are just dim memories. h The candy floss and joints are folding up like summers of seasons past.

But in the winter, The joints and rides will be refurbished, And in hte spring will be set up again.

Carnys working late into the night-- Talking, swearing. laughing. They know it will get done for this is show business.

And in the sumer, There will be laughter and happiness again.

This is the forever-changing-yet-staying-the-same World of the Carnival.

Like the Merry-go-round, It's a never-ending-Circle-of-life.

It must be obvious, That a t no t ime i n t h e h i s t o r y of t h e human H a s t h e E a r t h been s o d e s e c r a t e d And fou led up a s it is now, And now we f a c e t h e two g r e a t e s t impera t ives That have ever been seen on t h e Ear th , And they a r e : E i t h e r we d e s t r o y t h e environment u n t i l It can no longer suppor t l i f e O r we w i l l have a n u c l e a r ho locaus t .

But, we have t h e power w i t h i n us t o s t o p bo th - So t h e ques t ion now i s : Do we have t h e v i s i o n and do we have t h e w i l l ? L i f e was n o t g iven f o r us t o endure, but t o c e l e b r a t e , t o g e t h e r .

Did you know t h a t t h e World Council of Churches Has s a i d t h a t : he Native s p i r i t u a l ways a r e among The g r e a t f a i t h t r a d i t i o n s of t h e world And t h a t they need t o come and l e a r n from us"?

I have been involved i n t h e s t r u g g l e f o r j u s t i c e For more y e a r s than I can remember, And I am aga in reminded of D r . Alan Boesak, When he s a i d , I f t h e r e i s no j u s t i c e , There w i l l be no peace on t h e Ear th . It is t h a t simple.

I have been convinced f o r many years That God i s no t going t o a l low ~ i s / H e r c r e a t i o n To be destroyed by t h e hands of foo ls . And I have never been s o affirmed and s o c e r t a i n Of t h e f u t u r e a s I am mow because, We have t h e power wi th in us To h e a l t h i s s i c k and t roubled world; It is t h e most powerful medicine That was ever given And t h e name of t h a t medicine i s L.O.V.E. And, t h e r e a r e many ac ros s t h e world Who have t h e courage and t h e w i l l t o use And they a r e changing t h e world, r i g h t no While w e s i t here.

And t h e simple t r u t h is : That a s w e h e a l o t h e r s , Our own hea l ing comes t o us , Only i n t h a t way can t h e r e be peace and t On the Earth.

Y e s , t h e Tree of L i f e i s l i v i n g And w i l l come i n t o f u l l bloom aga in Because t he re a r e those among us Who r e fuse t o l e t i t d i e .
