Dear Jeff:

Just XV blocks north of here, Edmonton Police Service officers were called inII investigate the suspicious death of a baby on 156 Street & 103 Avenue at an apartment. They treated the death as a possible homicide & have now confirmed it was not the case. That the baby just died, which means natural causes or a medical condition that was pre-existing. Its a pity this child will never grow up II be a student, but its great that law enforcement & medical officials used their resources to get at the root cause & advocate for the baby & its obviously grief stricken family.

Dear Jeff:

Congrats to ex Edmonton Public Schools teacher Lynden Dorval from Ross Sheppard High School. The EPSB reversed its decision & will now allow teachers to once again give out zeros as opposed to incompletes! Whether you were for or against Mr. Dorval as a person, he was in the right & the evidence has now been voted on in a public board meeting. A nice ass whupping was the phrasology used by a radio talk show host this AM & to tell you the truth, I couldn't have put it any better!

As an aside, congrats to the board on reversing raises & administrative stewardships due to the fiscal stresses. They deserve much credit indeed!

Dear Jeff:

The thing I love about EPL & other library chains is they have both fiction & non-fiction books for all ages. So you have "Adult Fiction" IV adults & seniors. Then you have "Teen Fantasy" for teenagers & active students, followed by "Children's Fantasy" IV youngsters. Having fiction that is "age appropriate" IV each subset of readers is very appropriate. In this way, they can explore, use, & imagine the events/happenings that are going on in the story in a healthy manner.

Dear Jeff:

You have II hand it to the citizenry & police agencies in Boston & around Massachusetts. Their calm attitudes in the face of a crisis were remarkable. The media should be lauded to IV its superb cooperation with law enforcement. Now that one of the II bombers has been killed & his younger brother captured, the streets of Beantown can be declared safe again. Plus, the police & the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) can interrogate the younger bomber to see if he had any more co-conspirators. Maybe they can glean information from him that will help protect against any future attacks on Boston students & their family's.

So a campus security guard at the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology gets shot in his noble duty of protecting students while on duty & even worse it was the II Boston Marathon bombers who did it. Then he dies en route to the hospital. What a shame, my deepest sympathies II his family & friends. Excellent work by authorities in Boston to kill that Ist of the II Boston Marathon bombers. Kill the IInd one fast, no IInd chances, after all, he & his brother didn't even give one chance II the attack victims. They now have to live either injured or with dead family the rest of their lives. Terminate the vermin, terminate the infestation I say!

Dear Jeff:

That was quite an adept move by school, county, state, & police officials to use a high school football field as a triage centre IV that huge gas explosion at the fertilizer plant in East Texas. Its just the place to handle both mass casualties & a good place to temporarily house the bodies of the dead victims so they can be properly identified, cleaned up, & given over to their family's IV proper funeral arrangements can be made. Let students of this school learn a lesson here & that lesson is that its great of the school to reach out in a crisis & that they now know they can be relied upon in future disasters!

Hon. Jeff Johnson, MLA, Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative, Athabasca-Sturgeon-RedH2O

Dear Jeff:

When students are using a photocopier in a school setting, or in a library, they should respect it by using it properly. I have seen students & library patrons bang on these machines when they break down & its not appropriate. If a photocopier is slowing down, will not print outright, or is say running out of ink/toner, alert the nearest school/library staffer so that they can fix it, or otherwise get the nearest repair person or technician it to fix the malfunction(s) properly. This will allow the photocopier to get back inII student use much quicker, thereIV satisfying all of its users.

Dear Jeff:

The library dating system & that of Starfleet Academy (TM), Starfleet Command (TM), & vessels such as the U.S.S. Enterprise (TM) on Star Trek (TM) is a great numerical system. A series of numbers, followed by a period, then a second set of numbers lets students like me with extremely bad mathematical deficiencies find what we are looking IV in a library much easier. It does this by seperating the numbers into multiple groups so that we can get a break in between shelf hunting & don't get stressed if we miss a number.

So for instance: LEN is 938.05 & so on.

This Is Extremely Helpful & Much Appreciated By Others With Counting Troubles,

Signs announcing school events are great & important. I find that they are useful both to students & their family's as visual reminders when they enter & exit school properties. However, I know its cold outside with snow on the ground still, but it would be nice if these schools kept up to date with the signage & changed the letters over asap when the events listed are over with. I went by a school the other day where an event had been over VI weeks but the signage IV it was still up.

Dear Jeff:

As always, CTV Edmonton's Linda Hoang is at the top of her game when it comes II social media. Her Twitter handle of @Lindork is promoting @FarmOn & Www.FarmOn.Com which show the struggles that working farmers & their young family's go through in Alberta on a daily basis. Its not just about keeping their farms running, but keeping their kids focused as they go to school & help out on the farm. Plus, the site is about how great farm folks are & how difficult it can be to keep the next generation of family members wanting to stay running the farm rather than say selling out to a corporate giant (like Monsanto) IV instance.

Linda wants computer viwers to view the live-stream of viewer posts at: #FARMVOICES & keep track of the important companion website of Www.FarmOn.Com/FarmVoices. If social media can help inspire change & make the lives of farmers better, then I am all for it!

Thanks Linda,

Dear Jeff:

Actress Isla Fisher, a mother of II kids should know. Breastfeeding, in addition to being healthy IV the baby is great nutrition IV them. Plus, it cuts the levels of infant mortality overall if new mothers feed the baby within its first hour of life. Its estimated that this advice can save XCV (95) babies an hour from around the world. The "Babies Breastfeeding Project" by this United Nations (UN) Ambassador (& others) of Save The Children is a great incentive to get mothers to breast feed so that the baby has the maximum possible levels of nutrition handed to it. This extra baby nutrition will give babies a better chance as they start their formative educational years in preschool & such, giving them better starting cognition function. The added bonus is that mothers who do it can be helped lose the baby weight/fat they have gained faster, thus allowing them to get to their former figure faster!

Thanks Isla,

April XVIIth, MMXIII

Hon. Jeff Johnson, MLA, Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative, Athabasca-Sturgeon-RedH2O

Dear Jeff:

As students get older, they want to wear perfumes, colognes, & scents to not only smell clean, but to attract say a first boyfriend or girlfriend. In schools & libraries, they need to be careful about how much they wear as there are school students & library patrons with skin, nasal, & breathing sensitivities. These students/patrons can have an allergic reaction at the slightest smell or whiff of these chemical substances. As a result, its best to wear as little as possible, or no perfume/cologne/scent at all.

Dear Jeff:

A library staffer from Strathcona Branch EPL told me earlier today by phone that a client came in looking to use a USB port on a computer terminal. He walked right up to a terminal that hadn't been properly logged out & all the information on his stick got erased. He shouldn't be blaming EPL staff for this as patrons are told to properly log out beIVhand any machines that haven't been done so by previous users that day. You have to feel basly for the poor fellow, but he didn't pay attention to warnings which he admits he knew about in advance.

Hon. Jeff Johnson, MLA, Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative, Athabasca-Sturgeon-RedH2O

Dear Jeff:

IV students looking to get inII writing of any kind, but in particular scriptwriting, I suggest they watch quality dramas. "The Borgias", Season III comes to mind. TV dramas are quite often better in terms of quality than feature films. Writing IV them can lead to an exciting career in both forms. Besides, Academy Award (TM) Winner Jeremy Irons is Playing Pope Alexander The VIth. An excellent actor who is surrounded by an excellent ensemble cast & great crew including writers. A quality Canadian, British, & French drama. Only X episodes a year are filmed, so the resources & thereIV writing ability IV every script is higher.

Every organization needs a great leader & EPL has that in Mrs. Linda Cook. She is EPL's CEO & from the success of Edmonton's library system in being totally open to all, she is obviously doing an excellent job!

Dear Jeff:

It seems Edmonton City Councillor Jane Batty is a library fan like Coun. Leibovici. Here's Jane pictured with her Cth anniversary library card. Her smile indicates she is really on board in support of students & Edmontonians in general enjoying higher learning!

Dear Jeff:

Library staff get frustrated when people sit in their chairs too fast, or come at them at a funny angle. Thus of course throwing their weight distribution off. This is especially so in the computer area where if you sit down in the wrong way, you could bump inII another library patron. Thi might of course cause them &/or you injury. Also, you might break the chair if it gets tipped over or banged inII in too fast a motion.

Be Careful,

Dear Jeff:

Parents must make to keep baby safe by putting stimulating decorations above them in the ceiling (above their crib) that are light like paper designs IV instance. No sense in putting up hard plastic ornaments or say small plastic toys. If a bracket comes loose, or they are not installed properly, an object could fall down, thus crashing & injuring baby & causing a stressful situation IV both parent(s) & child.

Dear Jeff:

I have now been informed that the supposed IIIrd Boston bombing at the JFK Library was actually a fire. The media had reported at the time of the marathon tragedy that it was a bombing. So at the time I wrote it I had no knowledge that it wasn't. But its important Jeff to be accurate in commentaries & reportage, let journalism students take note of that & I pull back that earlier blog. Once again I clarify that it was a fire & not a bomb.

With Appreciation,

Rory

Dear Jeff:

 

I cannot believe that VIII (8) year old boy is dead in the Beantown marathon bombing massacre. His only crime was that he went to enjoy people having fun in a safe & healthy athletic endeavour. That poor boy will never be able to go to school again, never have a career, never get married & give his parents some grandkids to enjoy. Worst of all, he will never get to run in a marathon.

 

Sympathy To His Family,

Dear Jeff:

The Edmonton Public Library (EPL) chain is smart. At some of the locations the top ends of the bookcases are built on angle going inward or more narrower to the top. This allows students & library users of all ages to walk around corners & view library selections w/o having to worry about banging in there arm or their shoulder into the shelving units. This saves them a world of trouble as they then will not injure themselves, or perhaps knock over the bookcase, causing damaged items &/or a wrecked bookcase.

Dear Jeff:

At the Jamie Platz YMCA & other YMCA health centres, they take parking lot safety IV students & their family's very seriously. People driving through to pick up or drop off family members or friends are encouraged to drive through the parking lot really slowly. This is a smart strategy as members could be walking in or out & be obscured by other vehicles already in the lot. So safety is again taken seriously here, not just for students, but all members of all ages.

Very Important,

Dear Jeff:

The Canadian Tire Indoor Playground at the Jamie Platz YMCA provides a safe & friendly atmosphere IV kids. Not only does it have superbly maintained equipment in a well lit atmosphere, YMCA staff insist that the children playing there have adult supervision at all times. In this way, they are safe, secure, & happy. Play of course is just as important a part of cognitive function as study, or rest. Not only is it brain stimulation, it provides exercise for the children involved & fun IV both them & their guardian!

Dear Jeff:

I cannot believe the secondary attack at the John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK) Library in Boston just now. Massachusetts security must be going just absolutely NUTS! To say nothing of the innocent students & their family's who come to the library each day to learn aboutr America's XXXVth (35th) President, who was a Democrat who hailed from Massachusetts & many other topics. Lets hope these bombers are found soon so that more attacks can be prevented!

Homeless Family's With Kids

Dear Jeff:

Homelessness is no laughing matter. My friend the security guard at the Meadowlark Canada/Alberta Employment Centre tells me that there was a single mother with two school-aged kids who has been living on the street the last few weeks. The kids are in school except for today b/c she had them in medical appointments, but that has got to be hard on her & them when at the end of each day they have no home structure to look forward to going to. This has to contribute to the destabilization of their upbringing.

I Pray IV This Family,

Rory
