OPENING CEREMONIES
It opens with people, all Earthlings, from many parts of the world. Terry Hunter, doing introductions, starts with speaking the theme of this 15th Annual Festival: s'-eeds of Justice, Seeds of Hope. The room, festooned with the established logo (art by Diane Wood) and sidelighted by the incredible 9'xI5' mural by Richard Tetrault, became an apt platform for a welcome and warm banter by Kat Norris, Elder-in-Residence for this year's gala. Kat spoke of her journey through the vicissitudes of being "Indian/Aboriginal/First Nations/ Indigenous" and becoming her own person in the face of political correctness and the harsh realities of history. Both Kat and Terry recognised the troop of players from elsewhere who came together with Sid Bob, a great-grandson of ChiefDan George, to do
Material Witness, one of the featured events performed at the Ukrainian Hall. Sid also performed a piece done by Dan George in Ottawa in 1967. Organisers had asked him to sing but not speak, so Dan George wrote his words exposing the realities of Native life into a song To give all a sense of the continuity of the Downtown Eastside community, Michael Clague and Rika Uto were recognised and brought to the front. In 2003 the first Heart of the City Festival grew out of the Downtown Eastside Community Play, a (at the time) mammoth production showcasing our dynamic spirit and potential. Rika and Michael were given blankets in ceremony, as shown on the cover of this issue. Throughout the Opening there was drumming and poetry and laughter. Les Nelson sang, as Carnegie's elderin-residence, Phoenix Winter gave welcome with a po-
em written that morning, the Cultural Sharing Group performed, Dalannah Bowen spoke her truth & poetry, 3 Earle Peach performed in song as the Festival's Artist-in-Residence, and Peter White and Madelaine McCallum thrilled those present with amazing dancing. There was also a drum group performing with all who asked and with the dancers especially. Everyone seemed to know everyone! Funny how that works ... By PAULR TAYLOR
This is my heart. This is my heart Laid before you Bleeding empty Seeds of hope Bubbling within Life flowing After death Our memory lives on Our faded breath Loves in the voice Roused for justice That gather us together Strong or silent Raised for hope. Raised for those That came before us That come after That work these streets Here and now.

Canadrans,
Psychiatric Inpatient Unit! Fish Do Cry for Janet Frame Rate your mood from one to ten, the nurse says. And I want to give her a poem, so the nurse writes non-compliant and I say pi. And that makes me even less compliant. It was the closest I could get to saying a poem. A patient asks if I'm writing memoirs, poems, a to do list. All of the above? None, I say. I hope that one day he reads this. Though that would be against hospital policyto write this to begin with. A chess game plays, the patient and the guard. I try hard to resist saying that Nabokov explained that Lewis Carroll based Alice on a pedophile chess riddle where the pawn is queened by sacrificing her protector. And which I think is the pawn in this game and which the pedophile. The patients pace around in blue and green pajamas. A painting from someone I know hangs on the wall. A patient says she has voices rather than hears them. I hear friends rather than have them. A worker asks if I will read this poem. I laugh. I tell him I will find something-if I can find something that won't get a note on my chart. I never get bac to him.
.,
Outside the hummingbird feeder hangs for birds that will never come to feed . Rain falls-tell us your favourite thing about rain, they ask us. I want to say how it foams at the mouth but then it will be another year until discharge. I grab onto the leg that wants to run but can't and grab the other that wants to get comfortable. Every institution is a playground for reliving childhood trauma.
I used to have a roommate who said tuck off to no one. Now I am that roommate in a room with no one in it. They still haven't fucked off. And they probably never will. The volunteer comes at three with the therapy dog that's afraid of people. This poem won't fuck off. They come to my room frequently with pens and lists, doing the rounds, Santa says you've been good, Simon says swallow this. Now go play in the sandbox. My little gods, monopoly top hats, I should be playing bingo, I should be being social. The bell tolls: One fish, two fish, tuck fish, blue, I type, You know you're in a psych ward when, the nurse says; privacy is a privilege level so high, no one has yet seen n. Away from the nurse's glare a patient tries to molest me then cries. And I tell him I'm sorry because I really am. I try to colour in the lines but I can't so I go back and forth with a crayon over a drawing of an owlI call it Owls 00 Cry For Janet Frame, saved from a lobotomy because her book won a prize. Fish do cry too. Which is the front door and which is the back? One patient keeps asking and I keep sayingThere's no difference-but she just keeps on asking. I should just point and say, this one. The patients flock to the windows and meal trays like crows. They know that it isn't actually their last but one of many, too many-bleached white pamphlets of listings of ingredients. Turnips and chili-one packet of tea, one packet of pepper.
I can't help it, I explain. That's what we're here for, they respond. To beat you down like a puppy. Fatten you up, dissect you. Look, a brain and a heart, we'll fix that. You must tell us your secrets or we'll pry them open from you. Where your tonsils are, we'll take those, a gown for you. Restraints and a rocking chair. We'll be mommy, daddy, physician, nurse, spiritual aid. Open up. There's still plenty left inside you. Simon says-we'll beat the poet out of you. Jill Talbot
From the Library National Aboriginal Veterans Day takes place every year on November 8th. The Centre will be hosting a Community Celebration that day, to honour Indigenous veterans in our community. It will be in the theatre, at 9:00AM on Thursday, November 8th. In recognition of Indigenous veterans, and this celebration, the library will have a book display up. Please pop in, check it out, and borrow some of the items. Here are a few titles from the display. Although Remembrance Day commemorates all who have died in the line of duty, it specifically commemorates the end of the First World War. For King and Kanata, by Timothy Winegard, details the history of Canadian Indigenous soldiers in the First World War. More than 4,000 Indigenous Canadians served in that conflict. We'll be featuring a number of other titles from our Indigenous Collection, as well. Up Ghost River is the autobiography of Edmund Metatawabin, a former chief of the Fort Albany First Nation in Ontario. The book chronicles his experiences as a survi-
vor of one of the worst residential schools in Canada, and how he overcame the legacy ofPTSD and alcoholism that experience left him with.

Why not also read a novel written by an Indigenous veteran? Did you know celebrated author Thomas King spent some time in the US Navy, before relocating to Canada? Give his Governor General's Award winning The Back of the Turtle a read. And what about the conflict that directly inspired our modem rituals of remembrance for those who have served? Ian Kershaw's To Hell and Back: Europe 1914-1949, tells the story of the 35 years of conflict, beginning with the First World War, which defined the tragedy of war in many people's minds to this day.

SOUL PREAMBLE I have difficulties with this concept having grown up as I did, surrounded by a belief that this was some kind of entity that we were born with which survived death and transported us to some other theoretically better world. For me that idea seems beyond any kind of rational understanding. When I die I will be dead. End of story. I have come to terms with mortality. THOUGHTS Soul a midnight jazz combo in the groove moving heart and soul and synapse to sounds emanating from that mysterious lightening dynamo of the starry night. Soul rock and roll blues guitar wailing rushes up the spine exploding brain body abandoned to dance gut lost in ecstasy to moments of pure stoned psychotropic bliss generating premature enlightenment that nevertheless gives insight that another world is possible lessons which survive into aware sobriety. Soul native drum beats with Pow Wow dancers giving colour to rhyming moves. Soul a thirty-piece kids' string orchestra giving heart and soul to us to Carnegie. Soul hope and justice becoming a festival engaging community in connection sharing learning enjoyment food festivity commitment creativity song dance love theatre poetry activism politics whatever it takes wherever we work to elevate spirit mind body community working to make a world where equity equality rule. Soul mystery that dissolves boundaries of separateness and transforms us into one interconnected circle dance holistic ally extends awareness that being doesn't stop at the surface of skin transmutes shadows into light resentment into gratitude that together we do what I alone cannot as we walk hand in hand. Soul community coming together to celebrate we are still here we are not going. Gilles Cyrenne
let's make BC better with Proportional Representation This is a citizen's campaign. Fair Vote Canada BC is a non-partisan, grassroots organization advocating for the implementation of proportional representation. Ours is an evidence-based movement powered by people. I started down this path about 10 years ago, while I was volunteering with a community group here in Kamloops. Poll after poll showed the public supported our position, but our government was ignoring that consensus. It dawned on me then that first -past-the-post encourages MLAs to ignore the voices of most voters if it suits the needs of the party brass. That's when I decided to get serious about electoral reform. Each of our volunteers has their own story. Some are sick of the hyperpartisan bickering in the Legislature. Others point out that having more voices at the table makes for better decisions. And some fear that BC might also be held hostage by a populist leader to whom the system handed 100% of the power with less than 50% of the vote. Our volunteer network stretches from north to south, east to west across this province. We are your neighbours and friends, not a bunch of politicians or lobbyists with skin in the game. What do we have to gain? A vote that counts. This referendum is our best chance to fix democracy in BC. The evidence for proportional representation is clear, consistent, and compelling. When you hear arguments against proportional representation, question the source. Does their party's power or their personal income depend on keeping first-past-the-post? Get the facts.
With proportional representation, MLAs of different parties will have to work together to create the best legislation for BC -legislation supported by a real majority, not just one party. Research shows countries with proportional representation have a strong track record of higher economic growth and higher scores on health, education and the environment. With proportional representation your vote matters wherever you live, whoever you support. 30% of the vote should mean 30% of the seats. That's not what happens now. With proportional representation, almost all of us would end up with a local MLA we helped elect who shares our values. Politicians who listen to you and listen to each other. With proportional representation, voters have more power to hold politicians to account. Politicians have to learn to work together. Let's fix our democracy! Some politicians and party insiders will say anything to keep First-Past- The-Post. Their power and income depend on it. Don't be missed. This is our best chance to fix our democracy in BC and bring in a system where every vote matters.

If the individual still receives services at your location and you are able to provide them the voting package, please do so. If not, please return the package to sender marked "RTS-Moved". These packages are expected to arrive between October 22 and November 2,2018. ~. After November 5, a voter can pick up a package m person from Referendum Service Offices and Service BC Centres.

From the Editor's desk
More information about voting systems on the ballot is avail~ble on the Elections BC website at https:/I elections.be.ea/referendum. Voter's Guide booklets will be available for reference at the Referendum Service Offices. To r~quest copies of this information, please contact Elections BC Outreach Coordinator Melanie Callas at melanie.callas@elections.bc.ca.
If Pro Rep is chosen by the majority it will be used for 2 provincial elections, then there'll be another referendum where voters can choose to go back to FPTP if Proportional Representation is somehow worse. Right now in BC less than 60% of people who can vote, do. In the recent municipal elections, only 40% of people who could vote, did. Each person may have a reason, but the underlying feeling is 'why bother?' The ~esult will be hacks who spend too much energy trashing each other and not enough striving for legislation that will work for most everyone. There is an 8-page publication, put out by Fair Vote <;anada BC, with .clear delineations of what proportional representation means and what we are being asked. I went to a talk by Seth Klein, executive director ofth~ BC office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. He talked about the different types of proportional representation and compared much of what Fair Vote BC has in their publication with the fear-m~ngering and outright lies being told by the vested interests that rely on First-Past- The-Post to maintain their power base. Obvious examples are the cover of Me Metro yesterday, with a picture of a brawl in the Ukrainian Parliament. No word on what system of voting is used there or what the fight was about, but the implication was meant for non-thinking readers - Proportional Representation leads to chaos?! Ridiculous! I ddon't have television but assume this kind of distorted propaganda will be everywhere. It's the same kind of tactics used in many provincial and f~deral elections, where mudslinging, backstabbing and emotional manipulation are used in a frenzy up to election day. Anything is deemed fair, as though our system of governance is the result of a war and anything goes. Then those whose incomes ~re d.etermined by ~sing such tactics keep this smoke n mirrors show gomg until the election is won and then it's to hell with the majority who disagree. This referendum is a clear chance to change that. If you ?OU?tt~is scenario just look at the political demomzanon inherent in the United States and how Trump got into power. That alone is reason to change to something better. By PAULR TA YLOR
Humanities 101 Community Programme
(Hum) offers free university-level courses for people who live on low incomes in and around the Downtown Eastside and Downtown South. Courses are for people who have encountered financial and other barriers to university education and who wish to expand their intellectual horizons in an accessible, challenging and respectful environment. Applicants need basic literacy skills, a willingness to attend classes at the UBC Point Grey campus, complete assignments and participate in class. Applications for these non-credit courses are accepted not on the basis of past academic history, but on the applicant's desire and ability to be part of the Hum Programme. "Out n' About in Vancouver" When: Friday November 2, from 1:00 - 2:00 PM. Where: Patricia Hotel: 403 East Hastings St. Tour Guide: Naomi Evans In what is expected to become one of North America's most talked-about art events of the year, globally renowned Melbourne artist Patricia Piccinini's Curious Imaginings immersive sculpture experience is exhibiting in Vancouver as part of the 2018-2020 Vancouver Biennale. The hyperrealist "world of oddly captivating, somewhat grotesque, human-animal hybrid creatures" is the artist's first exhibition in a non-museum setting, transforming a wing ofthe 105-year-old Patricia Hotel. Piccinini's immersive sculpture experience "challenges us to explore the social impacts of emerging biotechnology and our ethical limits in an age where genetic engineering and digital technologies are already pushing the boundaries of humanity." The intimate hotel setting for Curious Imaginings empowers visitors to personally consider questions posed by the exhibition, including the promises and consequences of genetic research and human interference. r "Science and Technology" When: Wednesdays from 6:00-8:00 PM. Start date November 7. Where: Vancouver Public Library, n~ca7mat ct Strathcona Branch, 730 East Hastings St. Nellie Yip Quong Room (2nd floor). Facilitator: Mathew Arthur Most people think that-science is about finding out
what makes up the natural and social world and how it all works. We will read texts that consider, instead, what it means to do science and technology as situated practices that are always making or transforming the world around us-rather than thinking of science and technology as specialized disciplines that discover something about the way reality already is. With the question "what kind of world do we want to make?" guiding our time together, we will read aloud from texts by Science Technology and Society (STS) theorists who show that there are other ways that do not rely on discovering "facts" about a reality that is separate from our ways of being, knowing, and doing in the world.

Dignity in the Downtown Eastside Dalannah Gail Bowen
I wake to the sound of seaqulls and pigeons squawking I listen closer and then hear a woman screaming Her screams disguised by the birds Day and night Heard in the alleys and streets That echo the sad refrain of sirens One more sister ... one more brother And still we march and protest For the right to live with dignity I had
a
meeting with two police the other day
I cried in front of them Frustration pouring out for all to see Helplessness swallowing me There must be a better way. We all have the right to live in dignity. a sense of our person The ability to walk with self-esteem. a sense of pride Unconditional when we are born Our inherent right What have we come to When the corporations and decision makers Put gain and greed before life
â&#x20AC;˘
While children and our youn~ adults Look at the hope and the hopelessness They witness everyday And still we march and protest For the right to live with respect and dignity But wait a minute, what do Isee The tides changing, people rearranging their mindset "The Change" We Challenge all those who would keep things the same Dis-satisfaction stirs the many of us who have experienced Poverty, racism, sexism ...the isms of the world (Trump-glorified isms) More and more our voices rise, equality .... our lives matter Together, united we speak out ... one mind, one heart naca?mat And still we all march and protest For the right to tive with dignity
