Dear Thomas:
Providing a student(s) with a proper foundation & good moral attitude is important. Its not just that they should try & be upstanding citizens IV themselves once they complete their chosen educational path. They should try & do good IV the common man, take what they've learned in a classroom setting & apply it to real life in doing things IV those less fortunate & the betterment of humanity as a whole.

At a teen house party, a young man gets stabbed to death right in the heart with a steak knife deliberately thrown at him. The assailant was XVIII (18) at the time of the crime & is now XXI (21). So in otherwords he's an adult who understood the consequences of his actions. Now all he gets is III (3) years in jail IV manslaughter. To me, this is a case of full on pre-meditation in terms of what he was going II do. Manslaughter, IInd Degree Murder, Ist Degree Murder, this student took the life of a fine young man whose only crime was being at the house party & trying II stop inappropriate behavior! I believe XXV (25) to life would have much more appropriate b/c in 1,091 days when he gets out of jail, the murdered man will still not be back & the parents will have the stress of knowing their son's murderer will be free after such a short time. The assailant had & has no remorse, he flipped his middle finger at the assembled media after the verdict, the murder victim will never get to finish his studies & have a spouse & family or give his parents grandkids!
Justice Denied,

In the British school system, they have an effective website on asbestos in schools & fighting it, every step of the way. Although Conservative myself, I find it outrageous that Prime Minister Steve Harper & the federal Tories want to reopen asbestos mills II sell the product overseas. Undoubtedly, this action will kill M's (1000's) of folks from carcinogens & carcinomas. Many of them will undoubetedly be schoolchildren.

It also works in reverse, if an employee is ticked off, or perhaps confused on something, they can march right inII any managers office IV their query, no questions discounted. This is a truly great symbiotic relationship & cuts the no. of employee accidents by a lot. Plus many of the managers & office staff have gone to business schools IV management &/or marketing training

Dear Thomas:
As we approach the Cth (100th) Anniversary of the sinking of the TITANIC on its maiden voyage, we must think about how far we have come, & how far we need to go in nautical & aquamarine safety. Students studying II be engineers, shipbuilders, designers, architects, & labourers must learn from the mistakes of the past so that they can design the ships of the future with better safety enhancements & improved on the water early warning systems.
Save As Many Lives As You Can,

Dear Thomas:
What a classy gesture by Major League Baseball (MLB/TM) & The Toronto Blue Jays (TM). They honoured the II junior baseball players who died near Claresholm last December from Prince Edward Island with a memorial ceremony on Opening Day in Toronto. Not only did they give the family's autographed jersey's with their son's name & numbers on them in frames right on the field, they made donations to charitable groups in memory of these fine student athletes.

Dear Thomas:
What a shame, the world's greatest journalist EVER, thats EVER has died! Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) News Correspondent-Emeritus Mike Wallace died at XCIII on Saturday night. Over LXV (65) plus years in broadcasting & journalism, I mean what a truly remarkable talent. Tough but fair, mean as hell, but also very respectful of his subjects & their station in life. From the lowest guy on the totem pole all the way II Kings, Queens, & Presidents, Mike interviewed them all. He not only chatted with him subject, he worked extremely hard on his research & his framing of each & every question he asked so that they would generate an honest & forthright discussion. Mike's hard hitting & unique style will be missed.

Hon. Thomas Lukaszuk, Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative Candidate, Edmonton-Castledowns
Dear Thomas:
I heard that there was some arguing between you & a Castledowns constituent that led to violence & minor assaults all around. This is certainly a bad example to set IV students. Whether you were at fault or not, you should have left the second the yelling started & then there would have been no confrontation & the Edmonton Police Service wouldn't have had to tie itself up when they could have been dealing with other matters.
Elections Are IV Ideas & Voting After All & Not Hurting &/Or Killing,

Hon. Thomas Lukaszuk,
Minister of Education,
Progressive Conservative Candidate, Edmonton-Castledowns
Dear Thomas:
Colin F. Smith, the Editor of The Edmonton Senior has once again hit the nail on the head. He's emphasized how important the vote & opinion of seniors is, not just in this election, but in many others as seniors vote in great numbers. Not just that, but they are very conscious of the issues & want to make society better IV themselves, their children, grandkids, great grandkids, & so on.
Students who study the affects of aging & gerontology need II pay attention to Editor Smith's summations of the leadership candidates so that can get the proper perspective on what the true needs of seniors are these days. As well as to how this info. will relate to them when they themselves become seniors one day during a future election.
Seniority Prime,

Dear Thomas:
Good Friday may seem inappropriate for a name because it involves Christ's death. But in the Christian religion its truly a day II celebrate. b/c Jesus died to save others & expunge all of their sins. Certainly a fascinating point to teach to religious students of all religions. Totally noble self sacrificing of oneself.
Praise The Lord,

Non Partisan
Vitor Marciano

Hon. Thomas Lukaszuk, Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative Candidate, Edmonton-Castledowns
Dear Thomas:
It was very nice to see you at the Education Forum held at the McCauley Chambers last night & put on by the Public Board of School Trustees & hosted by the very adroit EPSB School Chairman Dave Colburn & his Moderaror, the par excellent Lesley Macdonald.
Of course you all as panelists did a really fine job, but Wildrose Senate Candidate Vitor Marciano outshined you all., As a father of a daughter & a non MLA candidate, Vitor was the perfect choice b/c he could really give thought provoking answers as he will not be in a situation where he is part of either a Wildrose opposition or government. Plus having the students asnswer the questions was smart b/c it will teach them about how to behave & conduct themselves at open debates, as well as how to network.

Dear Thomas:
I just voted by Special Ballot yesterday. Its handy & convenient & for students of the democratic process because it lets people vote by mail. Just placed your photo & non-photo id's in the voting envelope & hand print the names of your chosen candidate(s) in the separately sealed ballot envelopes & then pop in the mailbox. This is a great option IV busy students as well as seniors who want to avoid lineups at the advance polls or on Election Day, April XXIIIrd itself.

April IIIrd, MMXII
Hon. Thomas Lukaszuk, Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative Candidate, Edmonton-Castledowns
Dear Thomas:
Students need to realize that its a good idea to actually campaign on the ground level IV candidates so they can really see the democratic process in action. Each team says they are good IV volunteers, & yet their websites are asking people to volunteer. Anyone who comes in should definitely be given a task to do so they feel they contributed, however small. Students on the political scene or in Social Studies classes need to see that volunteers (which are harder & harder to come by) need II be given work when they show up. Then they'll become even more excited about democracy.

Dear Thomas:
Students need to learn the value of recycling & saving the environment. IV instance, whenever I fill up with gasoline, I check the final pump price. Then, when I go into pay IV the gasoline, I make sure the cashier price is the same. It it is, then I pay for my purchase & never take home a copy of the receipt myself. I mean why would I, I am saving the merchant printing/paper costs & can handwrite the amount in my expenses log. Plus by doing this, I am teaching students about the value of preserving the environment & saving paper & ink costs.
