Day when
a water pipe froze and burst, flooding
parts of the church.
The
old building has long
been in need of major renovations. Due
to a lack of finances, maintenance has
not been kept up. What funding is available has been channelled into keeping
programs going.
Mustard Seed is an important link in
the chain of services for those in need.
The Mustard Seed Food Bank is the
busiest in the city, serving 4,000 food
hampers per month.
There is, in the inner city a cycle of
need which peaks just before welfare
day, then ebbs for a few short days
while the meagre checks are spent.

Deficits come out of the food allowance. It is the only "free money" in the
welfare check. Utilities, rent, and transportation are things that must be paid;
food is a variable.
Parents often go without food so that
their children can eat. Many food bank
users live for periods of time on only one
meal a day.

Who are all of these people?
I received a copy of the results of a
food bank users survey conducted by the
Main Food Bank. The findings verified
what most of already know.
The biggest group of food bank users
is comprised of persons on social assistance. For most, after paying the necessary living expenses, there is a monthly
deficit of $92 even with the best of
budgeting.

contrary to what rumours would have us
believe. Abuse of the service is only
around three per cent.
Even most cases of abusing the service are need based, the result not so
much of greed, but out of desperation
and the instinct to survive at all costs.
Other food bank users are cut off
from any type of assistance, working at
minimum wage jobs, marginally employed, in upgrading or in school programs. There is a small group of seniors. Many are children.
The Mustard Seed soupline serves up
to 1 50 people a day with the peak of need
being the last week before the welfare
checks arrive. A hot meal serves up to
700 people on the last Sunday before
check day.

old Alexandra Bilida has
became the Mustard Seed's youngest
fund raiser. The child raised $1,000 in
donations for the church. She kicked off
her fund raising campaign by donating
her own allowance money, then phoning friends and family asking them to
match her contribution of $25.85.
As for the future of the Seed, that is
still undecided. The building could be
torn down and replaced, or the old
church could be repaired. Whatever is
done, it is going to be costly.

February 8 at the McCauley Community
League's 5th Annual Lunar New Year
Skating Party.
The warm weather made skating a
bumpy experience, but the children had
great fun playing games inside the
McCauley Community Hall. Staff from
the City's Parks and Recreation Department painted kids' faces and led children
in a variety of fun games using an enormous blanket.
Thanks to donations from local business owner Mr. Chu and the Avenue of
Nations Business Association, the children also enjoyed hot chocolate, snacks
and door prizes.
Special thanks go to Caroline Stuart

Does all this disappear with the

According to rumour, the reason the

The death of Mustard Seed would

regarding the unfortunate freezing death of Glen Beaulieu.
Linda Dumont believes that
his death could have been
avoided if only there was a
place for him to go "in those

Glen Beaulieu was not without a place to go, contrary to
Linda Dumont's misguided
editorializing. He either chose
not to find his way to a shelter,
or was too intoxicated to do so.
Dumont's suggestion that
this tragedy could have been

If Mr. Beaulieu couldn't or
wouldn't go to the Spady Centre, what makes her think he
would have gone to this idealized drop-i- n centre?
Even if such a place existed,
it would certainly not be the
"safe place off the street" she
would have us believe, as it
would be frequented by intoxicated or wired individuals.
In a related Letter to the
Editor, Edwin Chan advocates
allowing alcohol abuse in shelters to avoid tragic freezing
deaths. This suggestion pre

sumes that homeless men
would welcome this policy.
Granted, many homeless
men have a history of alcohol
substance abuse, but to suggest
Edmonton's shelters adopt this
policy is both stereotypical
thinking and insulting.
Many homeless men realize
that addiction is at least partially responsible for their present
situation and have tried repeatedly to break the addiction's
hold on them.
The last thing they want or
need is people drinking in and
around the only home they
have.
As a former resident of the
Herb Jamieson Centre, I have
witnessed the results when alcohol or intoxicated men get
into the building and it' s usually ugly. The
rule is
in place for everyone's benefit;
staff and residents both. This
policy won't change.
Mr. Chan's real motive in
no-alcoh-
ol
writing is not a concern for
freezing deaths, but to get public drunkenness behind closed
doors where he, and the public
at large, are not reminded of
human tragedy.
Public drinking, and the violence, vandalism and vulgarities that accompany this behaviour will continue whether
a proposed Transient Drinking
Park is established or not. Does
anyone really believe transients
will use this park? Street alcoholics will consume intoxicants
wherever they want, when they
want; not in some designated
area.
If Mr. Chan or Linda Dumont are really so concerned
for their fellow man, I suggest
they reach out to those with
substance abuse problems, rather than envisioning
solutions to further enable
their destructive behaviour.

I have been actively involved
in my community league, a
member of the boards of four
community organizations and
an active supporter of community and business development
initiatives in Edmonton High-
lands.
From my involvement I know
that communities need to be
involved in the decisions that
affect them. As MLA I would
continue to support government's role as a facilitator to
ensure that those most in need,
seniors, individuals and families, have access to basic shelter.
I would also continue to
sup-
port community initiatives and
be available to all residents to
take a look at their needs and be
