RIKA UTO says goodbye (for now)
THANK YOU so much to everyone who contributed to the wonderful community celebration on July 19th for my "retirement" from Carnegie Centre. It is more precisely a retirement from the City of Vancouver as Carnegie is my neighbourhood community centre and I look forward to returning as a patron and volunteer. A special thank you to Elder Les, Elder Marr and the Lexwstilem Drum Group for opening the event with a territorial welcome, rousing songs, and thoughtful gifts. One of the joys over the years has been to see the evolution of Indigenous programming in the Centre, from its early days with my late friend Alicia Mercurio in the 1980s to its current hub of activity under Nicole Bird. The introduction of the Elder in Residence Program and the Indigenous Advisory Committee has been pivotal in increasing the Centre's accessibility and efforts towards reconciliation. Hands up to our Indigenous community leaders! Thank you also to Gilles Cyrenne, president of the Carnegie Community Centre Association, for his kind words and gift from the Board. Over the past 30 years, I have been greatly inspired by the many selfless and committed community leaders who volunteered their time in CCCA committees, Carnegie Community Action Project, and the many activities focused on bringing awareness to neighbourhood issues, advocating for change, and ensuring that the Centre remains grassroots and welcoming. I have appreciated the support and good advice from the CCCA in arts, education and recreation programming over the years and wish them all the best in the exciting projects that they are currently engaged in. There's no celebration at Carnegie without music so I was thrilled that Mike Richter, Terry Hunter and Brad Muirhead were able to perform for us and represent the many musicians that I've come to know through the music jam & cabaret, jazz band, choirs, monthly dances, special events etc etc. I am always in awe of the breadth and depth of artistic talent in the neighbourhood and it has been my dream job to help develop arts programs and to work on projects such as the Carnegie's lOOth Anniversary Celebration of Community Arts, DTES Small Arts Grants, DTES Heart of the City Festival, HomeGround, and many more. I look forward to joining in as participant in the future! Thank you also to the many fsiends who spoke at the mic and others who offered kind words to me in person. And to my fellow colleagues who organized the perfect send off, complete with Bowie posters, signature Carnegie cake, and slide show. I started as a volunteer tutor and kitchen cashier in early 1992 and went on to spend half of my life here at the Centre in various capacities. I have been fortunate to work, live, socialize, and volunteer in the neighbourhood during all those years so retiring from my job only meaps more time to do the rest! I look forward to continuing my adventures here with my friends in the Living Room of the Downtown Eastside. Last but not least, thank you to Paul Taylor, the stalwart editor ofthis Newsletter, for inviting me to share these words. I'll be there to celebrate your 40th anniversary in 3 years time!! [It's usual to have a picture but none was forthcomingto volunteer!]
so don't be surprised when Rika shows up

***** Pull Up your pants ***** What happened to our neighborhood? We use to sing in the alleys We use to be like a big family We shared our pain and joy We didn't all get along but we lived peacefully. What happened to our neighborhood? Pull up your pants There's enough crack on the street. Can't you feel the breeze? Can't you see that they resent you? Think about the children, elders and the rest of us. Don't we deserve to walk on the street with out having to look up? With out being offended and violated?· Pull up yeur pants. Don't let them fool you, safe drugs or not it will kill you. All the money they spend on harm reduction. It only adds to your destruction. This is not what we were fighting for. How can you hit bottom when there's no chance to reach a bottomless pit. I can smell the rotten flesh I can smell the smoke of hell. You cry because you got robbed and you keep coming back for more and expect a different result. You say there's no way out Open your eyes, look up not down to the ground. Don't ask for a hand out, ask for a hand up. Find yourself and you will see how great you can be. Smile for the world and the world will smile for you. Pull up your pants, look up, way up. By Chantal
To Whom It May Concern: The people who are living in the Downtown Eastside and do drugs should be getting health care treatment like everyone else and Insite is 11 safer place to do drugs as long as there's supervision bv health care professionals. It's a better alternativejno more overdose deaths, and HIV/AIUS, Hep C and other STDs can also be prevented. To the people who arc working at and lighting for Insitc, 10 keep it open and doing good, you have a lot of support. 111site is not illegal and should continue to be exempt from Canada's drug laws. Hospitals in Vancouver can at least keep the crowding of their Emergency Rooms down and maybe fewer surgeries will be cancelled, waiting times shortened and other benefits, thanks in part to a service like Insitc. Right now there are too mart)' people in the ERs. This overcrowding is causing too much pain & stress and there's no reason whv more beds eau ldn 't be open for people who arc expecting to give birth. It should never happen that these peoplc are turned away for lack of space.

Passing as Sane - Coming out Crazy Every day I pass as sane pretending control and serenity;
It costs too dlllell for medical care in the States and we've got to stop closing Emergency Rooms. Keep the health care system in proper working order and don't try to make it for-profit by default if the public system gets in crisis because 0 f lack of funding. r say this 10 Gordon Campbell and Ste hen Harper. To Mayor Sam Sullivan (and Carnpbell) it's YDur fault, not being fair to unions who bargain in good faith. These people have every right to speak out. Insite should be open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It increases public safety and helps people get their lives back on track. It saves lives.

CONTINUE THE FIGHT FOR HOUSING! While in Elementary school, I used to walk home with my younger brother. These two big white guys towering a head tall above us would taunt us with calling us "chinks" and other derogatory racist slurs. We would just walk keeping our heads down intimidated ... silently attempting to ignore them. I got to know every blade of grass emerging from sidewalk cracks of the walk that seemed like a hellish eternity until we got inside the door of our "Vancouver Special" home and could breathe again. One day, though, one of these bullies decided it was not enough to call us names and escalated his aggression by pushing my brother down to the ground. Without a thought, my protective instincts kicked in and I got between him and my younger brother. With all my might from my toes into my fists I rose to my full height and punched his face. He was shocked! A trickle of blood ran from his nose and blood oozed out ofthe broken skin on his lower lip. These bullies looked at each other wide-eyed, then ran off. Still shaking, full of adrenaline, heart pounding, I extended my hand and helped my brother up. Now, I could feel the pain in my swollen knuckles. It was then that I realized that I could have been pulverized by these two bullies towering above me. But it was when they threatened someone I loved that I was no longer afraid to fight back. It was a surprisingly victory! (The only time I ever punched anyone.) Those bullies never bothered us again. The Rich Developers who are buying up the cheaper land in the DTES and Chinatown are the same as these bullies. They think they can impose their money-making will upon the people of the DTES & Chinatown: grannies, grandpas and all those forced to sleep on the sidewalk without even tents or sleeping ,bags. WE NEED TO ORGANIZE AGAINST THIS INJUSTICE! The Beedie Corporation, one of the largest developers, purchased a parking lot to build luxury condominiums and upscaled shops and bars. When the proposal was rejected in 2017 due to Chinatown residents speaking against this project, Beedie claimed the City's Development Permit Board decision was "unfair" and filed a lawsuit to force (yes, FORCE) them getting a permit. On June 26th, they obtained the Permit from the City that they need to begin their project. BUT IT'S NOT OVER! tHEY WOULD WANT US TO GIVE UP DISCOURt\GED, BUT DON'T GIVE UP! DON'T LET THEM PUSH US OVER! WE ARE NOT PUSHOVERS! Beedie Living is pushing their nine-story market-priced condominiums including penthouses with 0 units of affordable social housing and no community amenities upon this low-income community. They want to place a gentrifying presence looming over the Memorial Square in the heart of China town. They are using the rhetoric about "community revitalizing" for the area, rather than the truth of how it will devastate this area and displace the true residents and small family businesses that already have suffered during Covid-19. They want to rrfisappropriate Chinese cultural symbols for their own financial colonial gain. THIS 'IS NOT JUST A FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE OF CHINATOWN! THIS FIGHT IS FOR ALL WHO CALL DTES HOME! TIME TO RISE UP! As Jenny Kwan, Member of Parliament for Vancouver East writes: "gentrification and lack of affordable housing is having profound impacts on the community, as heritage businesses, families and low-income seniors are priced out. .,The need for a socially and culturally appropriate development for this site is more urgent than ever." Instead, DO NOT QUIT! DO NOT LET DEVELOPERS DISCOURAGE US! KEEP ON KEEPING ON to push for more HOMES FOR ALL. DO NOT SIT BY WHILE THOSE WITH MONEY WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A TIME OF VULNERABILITY! May we continue to write letters to the Mayor and City Councillors, instead to "seek alternative creative solutions for the site, such as a land purchase by the City or land swap, to facilitate a solution that is in alignment with the will of the neighbours, led and managed by community organizations who work together to determine the area's future". (Open Letter to Housing Ministers, May 23, 2023)
.
Beedie Corporation just see money to be made and enjoy flexing their "muscles" and feeling powerful taunting the vulnerable little people. But just as in my case, the seemingly weak little people who seem to cower will rise up when their love for someone/ something we cherish is being "knocked down" and "kicked around". LET'S NOT LET THEM INTIMIDATE US! Let them be surprised by the "wallop" that us little people can raise up when "push comes to shove". WE ALL NEED TO UNITE TOGETHER those who have a heart and care for the DTES and Chinatown ... because continuing gentrification by private developers will only create hardships for all those trying to stay in the neighbourhood with less and less affordable housing and more and more street sweeps that the city says is needed for so called "safety". SHOW THEM OTHERWISE! WE HAVE DIGNITY & WORTH ... LET'S STAND UP TOGETHER AGAINST THE OPPRESSION! WHAT AFFECTS ONE AFFECTS ALL! There is strength if we will rise up united together! May the people in this area show that we are a community that cares about each other. WE ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN WE OR THE RICH THINK. LET'S RISE UP to VOICE OUR RIGHT TO DECENT HOUSING FOR ALL not just the rich. We want 100% affordable housing! LET'S COME UP WITH NEW CREATIVE NON-VIOLENT WAYS TO GET THE HOUSING WE NEED! Please come out in solidarity with #SaveChinatownYVR for occupying the space at Memorial Square each weekend with some activity that can show a different vision of the use of Memorial Square. Please sign the petition and continue to voice by your presence at Memorial Square and speaking to media, writing letters/phone to media and government officials of all levels of government Let the people of Vancouver see and hear those who Beedie would be displacing. Do not let Money speak louder than our Hearts. IT IS TIME TO UNITE OUR HEARTS & OUR VOICES! savechinatownyvr@substack.com Remember the words of Martin Luther King, Jr: "WE SHALL OVERCOME because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice".

The CCCA welcomes Devin O'Leary as manager of Carnegie Housing & Income Advocacy project Earlier this year, Jean Swanson talked with numerous folks sheltering outside on East Hastings to understand the barriers they experience being safely housed. Around the same time, a group of 8 other neighbourhood organizations were given some funds through SPARC BC to conduct similar interviews, gathering narratives describing the deficiencies of this housing system from some of those hit hardest by it. I recently joined the Carnegie Community Centre Association to support this team and many others working for housing justice in building a DTES housing plan. The primary objectives of this plan will be to communicate the immediate and grave need for enough housing and the right housing management required to safely house the approximately 2,000* unhoused people surviving in the DTES. It seems ambitious and absolutely critical at this time when more affordable homes are being lost than gained **. A little about where I come from: I originally moved here from the US in 2019 to study Community and Regional Planning at UBC. I came with very limited experience in activism and social justice movements. However, on arrival, I was educated on the elaborate ways domination of people and land have been institutionalized through colonization and capitalism. This led me to focus my studies on systems of direct democracy in community-led housing models and the power and importance of grassroots movements in returning agency to those who are disenfranchised by the ruling class. In the Summer of2021, I was graciously welcomed into the DTES to support neighbourhood groups operating the Emergency Supply Hub at Olivia Skye, where I also lived for the last year. At the Hub, I had the opportunity to work alongside and learn from community leaders who have been organizing within this neighbourhood for decades, fighting incessantly for themselves and their neighbours' right to live. Everyday, I witnessed acts of selfdetermination and community care that I believe are sorely undervalued in areas outside of this neighbourhood. .' I am sincerely honoured to continue working in the DTES and with Carnegie and its legacy of community organizers battling for life and dignity in this neighbourhood. If you are curious or interested in a DTES housing plan or any aspect of this project, please feel free to contact me at carnegiehousingproject@gmail.com or visit me at Carnegie in the CC CA office on the second floor Monday-Thursday, 1-5 PM. *This number comes from the number of people collecting the No Fixed Address subsidy from BC Employment Assistance as of March, 2023. ** From The Mainlander article '''Losing More Housing Than We Gain': An Interview with Jean Swanson"

BEING GRANDPA Sometimes I think all those years monks spend in meditation seeking enlightenment might better be spent on a path toward becoming grandpa Buddha said, "Enlightenment ends suffering."
