Home Away From Home:The Carnegie Cultural Sharing Program The Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast art is partnering with the Cultural , Sharing Program, a weekly community drop-in program held at the Carnegie Community Centre, to present Home Away From Home: The Carnegie Cultur, al Sharing Program. This exhibition will be a collaborative effort between Samantha Nock (Cree-Metis) as guest curator, Nicole Bird (Haida) the Carnegie Aboriginal programmer, and the members of the cultural sharing community. Home Away From Home will be the inaugural exhibition of the Bill Reid Gallery's new mezzanine gallery; the new space is dedicated to highlighting community and emerging artists Home Away From Home will highlight the stories of the Cultural Sharing Program as represented by the individuals who participate. A mixture of art, photographs, and writing will guide us through what the program means to them, through their words and art. Together as a community, the Program has decided to create a wall hanging in the style of a button blanket to represent them, their relationship to the gallery, and their community. Other pieces included in the exhibition will feature the kind of projects worked in the program, such as: drum sticks, drums, rattles, weavings, and drawings. JUNE

FREE. Donations accepted. This appeared at the top of the cover page on almost every Camegie Newsletter since its inception in 1986. About a decade went by and then it became apparent a few enterprising individuals were taking 40-50 copies from the front desk, parking themselves outside yuppie-frequented stores or transit hubs and 'offering' said copies for a donation - which went into their pocket. The editor & all people who contribute energy voluntarily were offended - it was kind of sleazy. The "donations accepted" was replaced by "Do not pay for this paper." My point is that donations are still needed! Used to be that money the Camegie Association got through having a Gaming presence, by dint of being recognised by the Canada Revenue Agency as a registered charity, brought a small amount of discretionary funds in and part of that sum went to pay for printing. Not any more. To make sure of legitimate uses for the millions delegated to charitable works, the government began a system whereby each charity has to apply for funds under certain categories and certain criteria have to be met. According to their definition the Camegie Newsletter is not a program. It doesn't teach anyone anything, doesn't make a difference, isn't recognizable under their definitions, criteria, categories. SO! The costs of printing have increased as the rate ('friends & family') enjoyed at Budget Printing were replaced with the higher rates of other printshops. We need to raise almost $7000 a year over & above semi-secure funding. There should be a fundraising event soon and the hope is that part of what's needed will be realised. What's also hoped for is that those 0 you reading this, with whatever amount of extra money you have access to, will be generous and think of the Camegie Community Centre Association when using that money for something worthwhile. Address any correspondence to the Carnegie Newsletter, 401 Main Street, Vancouver BC V6A 2T7. Make a cheque payable to the CCC Association and put "Camegie Newsletter" on the memo line. Thanks. ByPAULR TAYLOR Volunteer Editor since 1986.
Fundraising Event July 28, 2018: Dalannah Gail Bowen has agreed to headline this variety show to raise money Jar the Carnegie Newsletter. Much more in coming issues but set this date on your have-ta-go list!. It's a Saturday night, maybe 7-9:30 at the Parish Hall, St James Anglican, Gore & E Cordova. The 3rd Annual
Sandy Cameron Memorial Writing Contest There are so many stories to tell, so much experience that deserves to be written down, to share the joy or anguish or just to let others know what this insane universe can shock us with. Sandy Cameron, may he rest in peace, sought to inspire this potential, and enlarge the awareness of all who would read his thoughts on social issues that pervade everyday life. He knew intuitively that every experience carries its own lesson. This year there are two categories - writing (nonfiction) and poetry. Entries are limited to two per person, meaning one piece of writing and one piece of poetry. Writing can be between 200 & 700 words (a page in the Newsletter), non-fiction. Poetry should take up no more than a page in the Newsletter. The scope of both can best be summed up in the words of Sam Roddan: "Writing & art must have a bite. It must create some kind of disturbance, a turmoil in the heart, a turbulence of memory and feeling." For the longest time there have been very few things submitted that have not been printed in the Camegie Newsletter. If it's racist, sexist, homophobic, a personal attack on a community member or irrelevant musingsthe file is very small. Getting poetry about golfing in Mexico with no social context is just __ ....".".....,...-_:--_ You have the entire summer to submit stuff, but the deadline is September 15. Envelopes will be at the Front Desk in Camegie, as well as in the Newsletter Office. There will be an event at the Heart of the City Festival in late October where pieces in each category will be recognised and prizes awarded.

Congratulations and Farewell to Diane Brown! On June 5 at 2:00 pm, join staff and volunteers on the 2nd floor at Carnegie Community Centre to wish Diane Brown "farewell!" as she gears up for her new adventure as The Gathering Place's Food Services Coordinator! Diane joined the Carnegie kitchen team in 1996 as a Kitchen Volunteer Leader. She first connected with the centre as a volunteer, when she would come in to help her friend Susi prepare dinner. She trained at Dubrulle French Culinary School and worked in catering, restaurants and camp cooking before coming to Carnegie Centre. She brought a passion for exploring multicultural and vegetarian menus and for preparing these for patrons to the centre. She's loved connecting with thousands of patrons and volunteers, and says that knowing the people that eat here each day by name and cooking especially for them is one of the most rewarding parts of working at Carnegie! Diane's kindne s, gentle spirit, and great food leave a lasting impact on the Centre. Some of her popular meals at the centre include Moroccan chicken filo pie, Ethiopian f'ul and mesir wat, Malaysian peanut curry, tandoori chicken, Jamaican callaloo, Polish bigos and ropa vieja. Some popular baked goods she introduced to the centre are the date squares, dream bars, vegan chocolate cake and oatmeal cake. Diane has also been a great champion of food access and equity in the Downtown Eastside. In 2009, Diane published the "One Pot Cookbook: Dinner for One!," a beautiful how-to-guide full of pictures, meal cost breakdowns and shopping information, and set-by-step instructions on how to cook healthy, affordable and delicious meals. Read the recipes on her website at dbrowncooks.wordpress.com, or sign out the cookbook at the Carnegie Library. You can also watch "TinPan ChefDTES," a short three-part film on food security in the DTES, on YouTube. On behalf of all of us at Carnegie Community Centre, I'd like to congratulate Diane on the next chapter of her career, and thank her for the food and leadership she's brought to the Centre kitchen over the past 22 years. We'll miss you! by Karla Kloepper

Gentrification and Class War The name "gentrification" tells us that moving well-to-do people into a low-income neighbourhood, and pushing poor people out, is a classrooted process. Gentrification refers to class conquest, according to Neil Smith in his book "The New Urban Frontier." We move from the citizen city to the executive city. "Join the ruling class!" said a newspaper advertisement for new condo.mini~s ~ New York City. (Smith, pg. 93) JIbe inner CItyIS presented by developers as a new frontier to be exploited by adventurers with money who will tame the urban wilderness. "The ~ew urb~ pioneers seek to scrub the city clean of Its working class geograpby and history," Smith says.{Pg.26 Such im~al violence results in the rapid polarization of class (rich and poor) in the gentrifi~ area, and this violence generates despair and rage 10 the local residents. "G~trification and homelessness ...are a particular microcosm of a new global order etched first and foremost by the rapacity of capital," Smith . says. (Pg:28) The frontier violence in the inner city comes WIthcavalry charges down city streets. Police horses did appear on Hastings Street in the ~owntown Eastside, but when the community VIgorously complained, the police removed their mounted officers. As Bud Osbom said in his poem I
.
"Raise Shit- A Downtown Eastside Poem of ~esislance'" military ho~s were not appropriate" 'where some of the most III and suffering human beings ...slipped and stumbled through the huge .: horse turds left laying on the sidewalk." The . Police Department, the Police Union, City Hall and V an~uver citizens will have to be vigilant so that the VIolence that was directed toward the homeless ~y Some police officers in New York does not happen here. In the spring of 1995, Mayor Giuliani of New York imposed more social service budget cuts. He hoped to drive the poorest people, those most dependent on public services, out of the city. He suggested that shrinkage of the poor population would be good for the city. ''That's not an unspoken part of our strategy," Mayor Giuliani said. "That is our strategy." (Smith, Pg.230) We don't need that kind of General Custer attitude in Canada. An economy that does not embrace social values, respect for human beings and the care of the young, the sick and the poor is flawed In the long run, it cannot succeed. After all, look what happened to Custer. . What we do need is a commitment to democracy and to a democratic housing program. Countries like Norway and Iceland can show us the way. By SANDY CAMERON

[Phoenix Winter & Priscillia Tait, president & vice-president respectively of the Camegie Association. wrote to the City of Vancouver about a growing problem in this building and the community. Women, underhoused, homeless or vulnerable, have increased use of washroom facilities in the immediate vicinity for bathing and even doing laundry. It is the lack of decent facilities and safe use of same that has led the washrooms in Camegie to be used for doing this. The outright closure of several stalls in the underground \ÂĽashrooms has only exacerbated the problem. Following is the response from Ethel Whitty, Director of Homelessness Services.] Attn: President,.Carnegie Community Centre Association 401 Main St., Vancouver, BC V6A 2T7
May 16,2018
Dear Phoenix and Priscillia, I received your letter of May 3rd, yesterday, May 11,2018. Thank you so much for drawing this situation, where women are left with no options for showering and laundry other than the Carnegie washrooms, to my attention. I know that there are pressures on the washrooms in the building due to the renovation and that some ofthe women's washroom underground outside are also shut down. However, this does not account for the need for women to take care of their personal cleaning needs in washrooms. I've spoken with the staff at DEWC shelter at 342 Alexander and they have assured me that women are welcome to take showers there from 4:00 PM to early morning even if they are not staying in the shelter. I've had a conversation with Sharon Belli; she and the program staff will be letting women know about this. This does not change the fact that women need more access and doesn't help with their need for laundry facilities. I really do appreciate you bringing this up. I'll be bringing it forward to the city as a problem that needs a solution and may need another letter from you at some point. All the best,
Ethel Whitty, Director, Homelessness Services, City of Vancouver.

from inside addiction This little article is inspired by my own experiences as a recovering addict. I believe, in order to move on from .. addiction and mend one's life, one must replace addiction with something more creative, more joyous, and- ~ more inspiring than the drug or drink itself. We as addicts are quite a creative bunch. We are often quite resourceful and innovative, even when our energy is often use to destroy ourselves rather than promote our health and well being. We are human beings on ajourney with an intent to reach something richly rewarding and when we discover drugs we think we have found the answer. But this is a grand illusion. Ifwe are to behonest and reflect back <?nour using, we will see that a life full of promise has spiraled into a life of great pain 'and disappointment. What that first drink or drug did for us in the beginning of our journey is at its end a life of pure and utter hell with the consequences we never dreamed of. f '4,t " Anyone can become an addict. The disease of. addiction is not a respecter Of Persons. One may be black, white, young, old, rich, poor, woman, man, gay or straight. We d0110t grow up thinking "oh one day I think I'll try crack and become a drug addict and prostitute". No. Drugs are very seductive and cunning. We often turn to their use because we want to have fun, or just.relax or reward ourselves. However, once we have tried alcohol or drugs, we find out that although they seem to temporarily take away all the'pain of living, they are a transient fix. The bondage is that we need more of the same to get that desire effect of the very first high.
~
As addicts or alcoholics, most of us cannot stay clean and sober if we think we have to keep it up for a life time. This is where the 'one day at a time' concept is so handy. While yesterday is over and tomorrow non -existent, today is the only tangible experience we have. It seems daunting and unrealistic and of course, impossible to think we can never pick up a drug or a drink for as long as ~e live. However, we can let the craving pass for his moment, or this hour, which will eventually become a whole day. Think of it as practice. As we stay on track, each day we stay clean in community it will lead to one week, one month or one year. And it is all accomplished by successfully staying abstinent for one day.' ;:' J ,,,k I am a walking, living example of a recovered drug addict and there aremany other examples like myself. It can be exciting, challenging and full of wonder. Weareworth reyovery and ~orth God's love: There is hope. Addiction, as cunning and scary as it may be, can be' overcome. It 'is possible for us to gain control of our own lives. It is possible for us to not only gain a new perspective, but to actually learn to enjoy life again without taking any thing into our bodies which kills our spirit. Ther~\is help,~nd/Jlot oply is i\ possible to quit using, is possible to live an abundant life. I ..â&#x20AC;˘ ~. .
from the LibrarY June is National Indigenous History Month, and June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day. This also coincides with a new VPL initiative to have Indigenous collections in every library branch ...Some have already had Indigenous collections for some time, and Carnegie is one of tliose, but even we are getting some nice, new books, DVDs and CDs to supplement our existing collections. So, in acknowledgement of Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh nations, whose generous hospitality on their unceded homelands allows our library to operate, here are a couple of the new books from our Indigenous collection. Eddie Weetaltuk was an Inuit man who left the north in 1951 to enlist with the Canadian Forces and fight in Korea, returning home in 1967 to become and alcohol and drug counsellor for youth. From the Tundra to the Trenches is his autobiography. 100 Days ofCree by Neal McLeod gives the reader 100 micro-lessons on the Cree language. You may not become fluent in the language by reading this book, &you'llleam to order a "niswaw niswaw" (double double).
#IndianLovePoems is Tenille K. Campbell's debut collection of poetry. It's really good. "Real" Indians and Others by Bonita Lawrence looks at how indigenous identity has been defined in Canada -both from within the community, and-from, outside - in the form of such things as government legislation and residential schooling. If you are a gardener, or would like to become one, or just like plants, please join us for a Seed Starting Workshop on June 13th at 1:30PM in the Classroom. Hives for Humanity will teach you how to grow plants from seed, and save seeds. Snacks will be provided. Happy Reading! Randy
