Singers unite for the homeless
By Arnold Waxwing
When it was all over, organizers of Homefest
2004 could hardly contain their glee. And who
could blame them?
Hilled as a folk music celebration to end
the four hour mini festival at McDougall
United Church seamlessly wove moments of musical joy together with respectful reflection on a
serious urban issue.
"We wanted to have a joyous,
family friendly event that reached new people with
important information about the housing crisis in
Edmonton," said Jim Gurnett, one of said organizers.
With the help of about 100 volunteers and the
strong support of the folk music community, they
pulled it off. Over 1,000 people bought $5 buttons
to hear heartfelt performances by some of Edmonton's finest singer songwriters. Man Dunn played.
So did Andrea I louse, Dennis Lakusta, Terry Morrison and many others. "It was an honour to be a part
of that event," said Ms. House.
The mainstagc performances were just the half
of it. Downstairs there was a workshop stage, a
friendly bluegrass circle, delicious edibles from
I lope Mission, space to gab with friends, and lots of
fun music and activities for the kids.
There were political proclamations from the
mayor elect and some of the unfortunate who had

experienced the depths of homelessness shared their
stories with an attentive audience.
It all worked together to raise awareness and
some significant funds (est. $4000) for more activities in Edmonton, and abroad in Tanzania.
Held November 14, Homefest 2004 was sponsored by the Edmonton Coalition for Housing and
Homelessness, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival,
the Iklmonton Joint Planning Committee on Housing and the Northern Lights Folk Club.
"I lomcfest is a tremendous opportunity for people
in Edmonton to come together to express concern
for neighbours who have unacceptable or no housing and to enjoy sharing great music and community," concluded Gurnett.
Will there be another one? "Absolutely.
Bigger and Better!"

One day when I was in high school I
decided - pretty much out of the blue - that
I should become a carpenter. Why. I don't
know. So I went to sec our kindly guidance
counselor to arrange a transfer to a di ffcrcnt
school where they had more programs for
that kind of thing. It was all very straight
forward.
"You want to be a carpenter, do you?" he
asked. 'That sounds fine. But before we
transfer you, why don't you answer these
questions here j'ust to be extra sure it's the
right thing for you?" That seemed reasonGarry Spotovvski

"It says here," he said, blinking (he blinked quite a bit), "that you should be
a journalist." "A j'ournalist?" I thought, blinking myself now, sort of dumbfounded. "Well. OK. Maybe. I guess." That episode was the end of my career
as a carpenter. But it wasn't, as you might think, the beginning of my career as
a journalist either. That would wait about thirty years (teacher, artist, garbage-man- ),
until last month to be precise, when I applied for and accepted the job of

a great challenging place to air out my supposedly latent journalistic tendencies. For 25 years Boyle McCauley News has proudly been your community
paper. It's been kept alive and vital by a long list of caring community members.
Hundreds of people have had their hands in it, some for longer than they care
to remember. I've done various things for BMN the last few years (carrier,

the kind of
time and energy so many show in getting the news of

photographers, proof readers, layout folks, board members and committee
members, all of whom arc dedicated to keeping you informed, and sometimes
entertained.
And we've got plenty of readers like you who are eager to know what's
going on your part of town. We look forward to helping you out. I just hope the

October this year. The group celebrated

complete with food and door prizes for
vendors and onlookers alike. Linda Dumont, cditor.publishcrandowncrhad the
vision of a completely independant newspaper a year ago while she was working
for the Boyle McCauIcy News. Although
she left the News in June 2004, and
somctimcsdoubtcd the value of the HSN,
as she says in her anniversary editorial
edition, "... I have been impelled to go on,
convinced that there is a real need for an
independent voice, and for someone to
print the stories and angles that otherwise
may not be told." According to Dumont,
22,000 papers have been published to
date. And with the assistance of Street
News vendors, that many have been distributed around town.
"It's hard to tell how many vendors we
have but we have 40 tags out there. The
paper costs 50 cents for each vendor to
buy and whatever they make is theirs."
"Over the year I've enjoyed it. I really
like talking to people," vendor Aaron
Bishop, Street News vendor says.

Downtown is quickly getting into

Edmonton and many other places
across the country. It is on December 19. On December 1 1 there will
be a Christmas count warm up for
people who haven't taken part in the
count before.
So December is a particularly important month for those affectionately known as birders. These arc
people who enjoy finding and watching the birds.
They range from the intense list
makers (those who record every different type of bird they see) to those
who just watch for their own enjoyment.

Those who are night watchers

count consists of a few different
jobs. You can go out into the field
and walk a designated area with a

Ifyou don' t want to put that much
energy into it, you can also be a

My first time to experience snow
by James Makuach Garang
It all started back at home in Africa when I was in my

we going to survive?" I would
ask to myself.
In April we arrived in Edflight.

The temperatures were mostly
below zero. Shivering and shaking I was, but people kept tell

winter is gone.
My teeth were chattering.
Cold weather ran up and down

I could feel that my cars
were not part of me because
of the cold. I put on the

They told us that wc aren't going to be given winter clothes till late
September.
Summer came and went swiftly and smoothly. I enjoyed summer
because the temperatures were fairly good. I even thought wc weren't going
to have winter.
But at the middle of September temperatures started to drop drastically.
Then on October 14 they announced it was going to snow the following
day. That night I worried. I peeped through the window to sec if it had
started, like someone waiting for an exam.
The morning came and so had the snow. It came like a thief that
breaks into a building unnoticed.
Everything was covered. I dressed up in heavy wintcrclothcs but
when I was on the street I would sec some people in their
ordinary clothes. They laughed at me and told me to wait till
January and February.
It wasn't as cold on the first day as I experienced three days
'
later.
My mouth cracked and my whole body turned pale
with broken skin. I would sometime feel as if my hands
arc not mine because they felt so cold, almost freezing.
'This is the effect of winter." They would say this to
me. Now I'm adjusting myself to the situation. I know
it's hard to be in this cold climate zone but for my life
sake I have to.
When I was back at home I thought that heavy
jackets and touqucs were worn for fantasy but now I have
known their purpose. It is wonderful but chilly weather. From

Remembrance Day As A National Holiday?
On November
1 1 ,
we remembered the blood and
tears shed for our freedom by war veterans of Canada.
We paused to reflect on the supreme price paid by so
many for the peace we enjoy today, after a past century
so violent that humanity was brought to the brink.
Canada has over 1 15,000 reasons to respect the
memory of our war dead for the number of soldiers
who never came home soldiers who now lie forever in
foreign graves. Canada also has over the 2,000,000
reasons to show respect for the efforts of our surviving
war veterans and those who have served in uniform in
times of war and peace, since Confederation in 1867,
preserving world freedoms and allowing us to enjoy the
way of life that we have today.
Once a year, on November 11, Canada must
in respect and to remember the true "price of
peace". To forget the human toll of our past is to
diminish an appreciation of our present peace and
quality of life. Such lack of remembrance of our past
also foreshadows the insensitive as the guardians of
our future.
pause
believe that we should institute a national holiday
for remembrance and for reflection on the supreme cost
of so many lives and of so many who served paying the
"price of peace" on our behalf. What do you think?

By
the garbage that had gathered
throughout summer. Because the rink
had been used as a shelter and a local
party area, there was lots of it. We
ended up hauling out thirty bags of
garbage, a fr07.cn mattress, couch
cushions, beer bottles and many other unpleasant items.
The majority of the mess was on
the west side of the rink near the
penalty boxes. This area has been a
problem, especially during summer,
when the rink is not being used.
It is an ideal spot to sleep,, drink
and carouse.
I thought our cleanup was the
end of it but one week later I went
back to the rink only to find that the
shelter was a party place again. It
was all back. Anothcrmattress. More
garbage. More beer bottles.
We arranged another "clean up the
rink" on November 20, but this time
we removed the penalty boxes and cut
down a few nearby trees. The area is
more open now, more visible, so hopefully that will take care of the problem.
I hope the penalty boxes can be put
back soon, though. With more summer programs for kids and adults,
along with some renovations, it could
happen.
Meanwhile, all the people who
helped with the cleanups deserve
thanks. They helped with a very unpleasant job and showed a lot of "McCauley Pride."
