Dear Jeff:

A suspect posing as a police officer has just beaten up a XX (20) year community college student & kidnapped his girlfriend, beating her almost to death in the process. The thing is, the public don't realize they have the right to see a proper identification badge of anyone claiming to be a police officer or any such form of law enforcement official, so to be beaten up by one who turns out to be a fake cop can cause a lifelong mistrust of police & the law in some people, sad when most officers are honest & hard working & working within the law. Sergeant Joe Friday of the Los Angeles Police Department & his partner Sergeant Ben Romero are chasing a suspect in their squad car who has been pretending to be a cop. Sgt. Friday reminds his partner who is doing the driving of proper police internal vehicle procedures.

Dear Jeff:

Earlier this morning my feline son James Redwing Cat Koopmans & I were visiting an elementary school in Edmonton's south side to teach the students about responsible pet ownership. James of course got lots of pets, attention, praise, & free fish. When we were there, a fire drill occurred & this was quite interesting as I had to scoop up the little fellow & place him in his cat carrier. Since I was in the school, I was subject to being a participant in the drill & I didn't mind the refresher course.

I. Listen carefully to directions.

II. Quietly line up.

III. Walk carefully around the building to your assigned place.

IV. Make sure that teachers/supervisors & students are all aware of where emergency exits & fire extinguishers are.

V. Make sure II have emergency service phone numbers on standby in an easy to access area.

VI. Wait with your teacher &/or supervisor until it is safe to return to your classroom or deemed necessary to take students to an alternate location away from the school building IV their own safety.

Excellence In Safety,

Dear Jeff:

While I respect that the arbitrator has ruled the fired security guards get their jobs back, from a law standpoint, I vociferously disagree. Any student labour relations course will show that the guards were participating in an "illegal strike." Therefore, it was well within your government & the Hon. Jonathan Denis, QC, MLA, Minister of Justice, Progressive Conservative, Calgary-Acadia II fire the four guards in question. These guards for the interest of students looking at a career in law enforcement were not just putting the inmates & their fellow guards in danger with this illegal action, they were endangering the basic human rights of the inmates & the general public at large.

Dear Jeff:

Proving that they want students to learn, the Alberta Teachers Association allows students & their family's to park in their parking lot on weekends. Sort of as an "overflow" option in case the parking lot at the Telus World Science Centre Edmonton building parking lot is full. This is extremely smart as it allows students & any family & friends to go to the centre to learn about science, scientific endeavours, & view the exhibits on weekends. A fun way to keep on learning all weekend long & then have an adventure they can tell their fellow students & their teachers about when they go back II school on the following Monday (Tuesday if its a holiday weekend!)

An IX (9) year old boy has just shot his school principal with a gun he found at home in an unlocked drawer & brought to school. He hated the principal & had told people he was going to "do him harm", but no one took the threat seriously. Now, Sergeant Joe Friday of the Los Angeles Police Department & his partner for the week, Sergeant Ed Jacobs are working the dayshift of Homicide Division detail. Sgt. Friday has the unenviable task of telling the boy's parents.

I must however point out that we are still very short of space. Might it not be a good idea for Her Majesty's Government to reactive & open up closed old schools in mature neighborhoods as well? This way, kids in newer areas can be brought to schools in older areas by bus, which has to be better than attending classes in overfilled classrooms & even modular units.

Dear Jeff:

For students interested in history, especially the destruction of ancient society's by volcano, they need look no further than books like "The Last Days Of Pompeii." There is also a Hollywood film about another volcano tragedy that wiped out entire civilizations coming out later this year. It does seem rather a shame that these disasters happen, but it's part of living on the planet Earth. Just as the typhoon killed many in the Philippines, disasters will always befall humanity. The idea is to learn from them & avoid becoming a victim of one if it happens. Being a student of history means learning not how a population died, but how it chose to live when it existed.

Three years from today, or 1,096 days, XLIVth (44th) United States President Barack Hussein Obama, Democrat-Illinois will cease to be the President & a XLVth (45th) President will take over (thank God.) To say thats too long a spread of time would be an understatement. This man has been an unqualified disaster & turned his nation into a welfare bum state where no one is working & people are struggling just to feed their kids, let alone themselves. History students (whether you are of a liberal bent or not) need to be aware that this "community organizer" is a dithering idiot who never completes any tasks he started & got a Nobel Peace Prize b/c he was President for IX (9) days, not for anything he accomplished.

Dear Jeff:

A father & mother are surprised their teenage son became a drug addict & eventually died in the middle of a school day at his desk from an overdose of pills he had taken the night before at home. The parents never expected this to happen as the boy never showed any signs of being high & did not have a broken home or a bad upbringing. He seemed so normal. Sadly, Sergeant Joe Friday of the Los Angeles Police Department has to be rather matter of factly when he reports the death & offer up a tough commentary to shake the parents out of their stupor. He doesn't want to, but he has to in order to get the dead lad's parents back to reality & normalcy.

The pictures that accompanied the articles showed peoples reaction to it, including that of students & their family's as they immigrated! We need newspapers & news people more than ever! Never lose your respect for printed media, even if you work in electronic journalism.

Earlier today I was at my favourite west end restaurant Hap's Hungry House having my usual Wednesday meatloaf. Hap's is a great daytime breakfast/lunch eating establishment that has been going IV over XXX (30) years. Today a group of teenage girls from St. Francis Xavier High School was there having lunch with their teacher. Not only is this a great bonding experience for both teachers & students, but the students are taught to practice the proper etiquette of eating in a restaurant & being in a group social setting. Also, they get to see that being a server or hostess at Hap's might be a great source of supplemental income IV them when they start on their post-secondary endeavours or decide they want to get into hostessing or restaurant work (at least in the short term) on a full-time basis!

Dear Jeff:

The "state" is the focus, the State of Tennessee today. Its quite a fascinating place.

S. Tennessee was quite badly split during the Civil War, it did not secede from the Union to join the Confederacy until June 1861, after a badly divided IInd vote to do so, the first having failed 54-46% four months earlier in February. Thus it was last state to secede. It also has the distinction of being the state that provided the biggest number of troops to both Union & Confederate armed forces as folks were free II choose which side they fought on since there was a delay in its break from the Union.

T. In the very well known East Tennessee mountain area, you have the Blue Ridge Mountains which are further subdivided into different smaller ranges. These include the Iron Mountains, Roan Highlands, Unicoi Mountains, Bald Mountains, & the Great Smoky Mountains.

U. The Tennessee Higher Education Commission is the main board that oversees & makes sure there is proper educational accountability in schools!

Many of the schools in Manitoba have gone back to basic mathematics principles since last September. Things like fractions, adding, multiplying, dividing, subtracting. Mathematical skills that they need, not "namby pamby fuzzy math." Including giving students easier problems if they cannot solve the 1st one's put in front of them. This new age crap is hurting classroom mathematical averages & graduation rates, especially in Alberta (& across the Dominion) high schools. Lets get students back on the old math & make teachers take refresher courses in the old math as well so that both the instructor & the instructees (students) are on the same page numerically.

Dear Jeff:

Lately, Sergeant Joe Friday of the Los Angeles Police Department is having to deal with loud & mouthy local college & university students who are also into student athletics. As they are muscle toned & extra strong, they are taking advantage of their size to commit armed robberies of seniors & poor people who cannot fight back, & also, people who witness statements in case they &/or their family members come II further harm. The suspects seem II know their rights & Sgt. Friday is forced to release them after 72 hours for "suspicion of armed robbery." The suspects outright admit they did the robberies but laugh at the Sgt. b/c he has no "tangible proof" by independent IIIrd party's & so must release them until they rob again & actually have a cooperating witness. So the Sgt. asks these student athlete punks a reasonable question about their unsavoury law breaking actions.

I just don't understand how the Edmonton Public School Board (EPSB) & other jurisdictions are complaining about a lack of space when a solution is staring them right in the face. EPSB should reopen schools like Eastwood & others to bus these kids in from newer areas. The same with other jurisdictions like Calgary. Many of these older schools are built with brick & heavy duty 1930-1960's construction materials which arguably in many cases are better than modern ones. Then area school tax & property tax revenues would go up, meaning more for EPSB & provincial coffers!

Look, women who give birth have many body types, thin, fat, & in between. They also have II be respected IV giving birth & the toll it takes on their bodies. Alyssa responded by tweeting Jay that she felt bad that he had felt the need to mock her. Then added the kicker: "say hello to your lovely wife." This must have made Jay feel like dirt & it should as women shouldn't be judged on what their body types are & how hard it is to lose the baby weight & fat that comes with it. They should be judged on how good a mother they are to their child(ren.)
