    I´m so mad ...
    Did anybody hear me scream?

    I am so mad !!! I tried to make something up for Blackfire back here in my town. Because of all this fights between the people from our youthcenter and the new organization, it´s not possible. It´s difficult to explain: There is this woman working for our town who is kind of social worker and there was Christian, who organized all the events for teens at the week-ends without getting paid. I told you that some people "asked" him to leave and that´s what finally happened. Christian was supporting me and my events/workshops and because it was good working with him, I did a lot for the youthcenter free of charge or for less money. Now this woman is kind of the head of the youthcenter and my contact. She is talking nice to me, but bad about me and I know about this. But I need her to be able to still offer my workshops. But she is expecting me to work without getting paid and regarding Blackfire she told me that all the money she got from the community to spend on events and workshops for our teens for this year, is already gone! It´s like a 4000 Euro she got and Blackfire asked for only a little money (it would have been possible - especially they could have made money by selling soda and beer). Now she told me that I´ll get her support with getting a room and a beamer for the screening of Klee´s documentary, but that I should please pay Blackfire and do the all the advertisements, poster and stuff ... They would be pleased to have Blackfire back here again, but they don´t have any money left for "something like that". But in the newspaper it will be announced as an event organized by the youthcenter (her name included) and not NewNativeSpirit. There are not a lot of people who really like that woman, cause she´s doing things like that all the time. She´s from Russia and she supports all kind of things coming from that area - but Blackfire is Native American. There are not enough people interested in that topic and therefore she won´t support it - it won´t be successful enough for her to be in the spotlight again ... she is always talking about integration and respect towards foreign cultures (as long as it is her culture). Blackfire would have had a culture show and they would have shown the Hoop Dance - they would have introduced their culture to our teens and maybe by that some would have become interested. Awwwwwwwww !!!! That´s the basic idea of NNS: to introduce NA cultur, cause in Germany the young people don´t know much about it. And from my experience I can tell, that once they know a bit about it, they want to learn more !!! Right now NNS doesn´t have the money to invite NA people to come and pay for it. If I would have gotten money for all the workshops I´ve already done for the youthcenter, I would have been able to pay for Blackfire.

    Maybe it´s because I told this woman a while ago that I´m not able to work for the youthcenter totally free of charge in future times. I don´t see any reason why I should be doing this, cause now that Christian is not working for the youthcenter anymore, I have noone who supports me. We have a member´s meeting of this new association for the support of teens in our town on May 29th and I´m a member. I will tell them, that I am so sorry that I couldn´t make it happen to have such a great cultural event taking part in Hermeskeil and I wonder what their comments will be ...

    I´m very disappointed and hopefully I´ll remember this, when the youthcenter asks me to do a workshop for them again ... totally free of charge of course

    You know, this is a real shame! Why was Christian "asked" to leave anyway if he was doing a good job and nobody likes this other woman?



    Re: I´m so mad ...

    newnativspirit - 11.05.2007, 11:29


    because he was doing too good of a job !!!! The teens do love him and his wife and they had a great cooperation. You know, sometimes it´s jealousy that kills good work! His wife is one of the heads of our new association and that´s in fact the only good thing about the whole story. I hope we can make a change to a better for our teens!

    Wow, how ridiculous does it sound to ask somebody to leave cos they are doing too GOOD of a job??!!!!



    Re: I´m so mad ...

    newnativspirit - 12.05.2007, 21:49


    yes, it is ridiculous !!! But it happened and there are a lot of people really mad about it, but cause this woman is "good friend" with our mayor, Christian had no chance.

    We had a meeting for our culture event for kids in October last Monday (this woman is the head of this project) and they expect me to do a workshop. Last year it took part on a Monday and a Tuesday - this year it will be Wednesday/Thursday and I decided not to do a workshop. I would have to take days off at work and I have my aerobics on Wednesday. I won´t get paid for doing the workshops. I don´t see any reason to do it. I only have 18 days/year to take days off at work and won´t spend them on this. I will help with the organization and maybe watching the kids a bit on Wednesday, but I won´t offer a workshop myself. It´s always a lot of work and energy you have to put in things like that and without getting paid, I really can´t do this no more. Got kids on my own and I would need someone to watch them ... does this make sense? No! They won´t like it, that I won´t take part, but I have at least two good reasons and they will have to accept. You know, if they would support me a bit more, I would think about it. But this is an unfair cooperation.

    I can totally understand why you didn't agree to do it! You have no reason to feel guilty in my opinion.

    That kind of nepotism really pisses me off. I mean there are people who care for youth and work nearly for free and then someone comes around and lines in one's pocket... that's abhorrent - but sadly also common



    Re: I´m so mad ...

    newnativspirit - 26.09.2007, 13:55


    not only nearly for free - totally free !!! I never got money for it ... but I won´t do it anymore !!!



    Re: I´m so mad ...

    Liadan - 26.09.2007, 14:13


    that's right... at a certain point you got to say stop.



    Re: I´m so mad ...

    enelya06 - 26.09.2007, 14:22


    I don't blame you one bit for never doing anything for them again.

    I've been around and worked with people like that and there is nothing worse....even though you hate it for the youths sake - sometimes you have to just say no...for other reasons.



    Re: I´m so mad ...

    Liadan - 26.09.2007, 16:27


    yeah, you've also got your own life you must care for

    I saw and i heard Blackfire on the Karl May Festival in Radebeul/Germany on a Concert. They was good and LOUGHT. The Father, Jones, was there too. As i saw, that they are there, i MUST go there and make Pics for someone. He is a Blackfire-Fan.
