While I support the ATA in many ways, those rat bastards make me sick at certain junctures with their sense of entitlement & no firings no matter how incompetent the teacher(s) is/are.

Dear Jeff:

Its up to Sergeant Joe Friday of the Los Angeles Police Department to hold a mother & a father accountable for their teenage son drinking alcohol to get drunk & then stealing more & also getting other youngsters drunk. Its a really bad idea as these teens are at some points dying in huge numbers b/c they get alcohol poisoning since they are not used to consuming it. The Sarge queries:

"Do you know where he spends his time when he goes out at night?"

Dear Jeff:

Badminton is quite a fun game for student athletes of all ages to learn. Participants not only have to move fast, they also have to hit or move a non-cylindrical object such as a golf ball, basketball, or tennis ball. As a result, its much harder to move around on the court b/c the object or "shuttlecock" must be hit so as to make it difficult for your opponent(s) to reach & yet at the same time, you as a player(s) must be able anticipate where your opponent(s) is/are going II return it. You have to (just as in tennis) have to be prepared for anything. This is why its such a great workout sport & why in this country Badminton Canada is leading the charge IV getting players II be as competitive as possible & that they are constantly learning new skills II improve their game.

A Premier Of "Paramount" Importance

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., #6, 14504-108 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5N 1G8

May XXVIIIth, MMXIV

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

Dear Jeff:

Today we have to show students true greatness & we start here with the greatest & longest serving (VII (7)) terms Premier of them all: Alberta's VIIIth (8th) Premier Ernest C. Manning who ruled this province deftly from MCMXLIII (1943)-MCMLXVIII (1968). Over XXV.V (25.5) consecutive years in office, stunning really. It just shows the quality of the man.

- Ernest & his beloved wife Muriel had "their young son Preston" with them on his "Back II The Bible Hour" broadcast Sundays from Edmonton's beautiful Paramount (TM) Theatre in palatial downtown Edmonton, as well as on road trips where Premier Manning would tour with the show across Canada with appearances promoting his political & religious message combined through his & Social Credit's Christian focus. Ernest or "E." Preston Manning, that little boy went onto have his own successful career as leader of the conservative focused Reform Party on the federal scene as well as serving as the Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Official Opposition in Canada's House of Commons.

- Ernest after retiring as Premier was seen as a highly honourable man & was appointed to Canada's Senate where he served as a Social Credit Senator from MCMLXX (1970)-MCMLXXXIII (1983). So both father & son had the birthing idea of reforming the Canadian Senate to make it more accountable to the Canadian people, including students & their family's. Plus, Premier Manning was appointed by Liberal Prime Minister of the Day, the Right Honourable Pierre Elliott Trudeau who could have appointed a Liberal to the vacancy but just had so much respect for the former Alberta Premier. That took courage.

- Ernest has a high school named after him in Calgary, this proves he had the respect of students. He also has a Calgary business park named after him, which shows he was a respected person for business leaders to admire. The Manning Freeway in Edmonton is named after him, which proves that Ernest took people's transportation needs seriously as Premier. A provincial riding in northeast Edmonton is named after him & is represented by your colleague, Peter Sandhu, MLA, Progressive Conservative: thus proving that Ernest was a superb political machine. A town in northern Alberta is named after Ernest which shows he cared about small town & rural folks, not just Albertans living in metropolis's such as Edmonton & Calgary. Not bad for a man born in Carnduff, Saskatchewan.

- Ernest served as an MLA for both Calgary & Edmonton ridings. So as a result, he knew the province from top to bottom.

- Ernest was the first ever graduate of the Calgary Prophetic Bible Institute, so the future evangelical broadcaster truly lived & breathed his Christian message from the time he was a student on forward.

I congratulate the Honourable Lisa Raitt, PC, MP, Minister of Transport & Conservative, Halton for her department's initiative in allowing Canadian citizens & people from other nations travelling in Canada to use their cellular & other electronic devices on airplanes in "Flight" mode. This modernization of standards will allow students on planes to communicate with their family & friends, as well as do things like catch up with their homework if they unexpectedly have to say go on an emergency plane trip with family members to (as an example) see a sick relative.

Dear Jeff:

So a 73 year old dad kills his 13 year old daughter in Longueil, Quebec. The Judge gives him only 60 days in jail for manslaughter to be served on weekends. A human life to me is worth a lot more than a paltry 2 months in jail. The dad was upset b/c his daughter didn't clean the house properly & this gives him an excuse to kill her. I mean you can give 25 years to life on a manslaughter charge. I don't care if the Judge has leeway here & the dad was half past dead at 73 & got a light sentence b/c of his age. Put him in a jail cell & throw away the key! What a travesty of justice.

Dear Jeff:

One of the children of the bartender at a bar I was visiting the other night came to visit her mom at the restaurant next door. It was interesting to see the debate in the bar about whether kids under XVIII (18) should be allowed inII alcoholic establishments. About 1/2 the customers there favoured it & the other 1/2 opposed it. Speaking from a strictly security standpoint, I definitely favour keeping underage kids from alcoholic beverage establishments as many of the people here can get impaired. Some might have drugs in them & have funny reactions & may want to say hurt or harm the chil(ren) in some capacity.

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

Dear Jeff:

Part of police work is being able II take down accurate police reports & witness statements over the phone & transcribe them in proper shorthand until the witness can come in & make a much fuller or more "complete" statement at a later juncture. The reason shorthand is important or as Sergeant Joe Friday of the Los Angeles Police Department quite often requests: "Just the facts" is so that any & all investigating officers have a summation of points II work with & thus can actually start up a decent preliminary investigation. Teachers calling in from schools who are witnessing students beat & rob younger students have been tying up police lines since they are stuck in their schools making sure the victims get medical attention & that no further attacks occur. At the LAPD Police Headquarters at City Hall, Telephone Squad Commander Sgt. Friday explains the police process of what the cops want to do with the students to calm any fears of the teachers calling in & he tells this to his squad team to.

"What we're trying to do is head off the kids from becoming violent outside the school before they leave and start on a path of crime."

Dear Jeff:

Having just left the PC Candidate IV Leader & Premier Jim Prentice Edmonton Campaign Kickoff, its very appropriate that Executive Dissertations talks about another Premier of Alberta today, the last Social Credit & IXth (9th) Premier Harry Strom, who took over for the VII (7) term & XXV (25) years in office legend Ernest C. Manning. Harry ruled from MCMLXVIII-MCMLXXI (1968-71) & had the unenviable task that Candidate Prentice might be facing, being the last Premier of a party dynasty. He was defeated by Premier E. Peter Lougheed in the August MCMLXXI election.

- Harry was the first native or Alberta born Premier this province had & like XIIIth (13th) Premier Ed Stelmach, Harry was a farmer by trade & loved his wife Ruth immensely.

- Harry won all V(5) of his terms of office as the MLA IV Cypress in V(5) election writs with more than 60% of the vote. An amazing accomplishment when you consider how votes can go up & down for a candidate in any election.

- Harry served as Minister of Municipal Affairs, & Minister of Agriculture before becoming Premier. Then after his defeat, he did the reverse of Premier Lougheed & served as Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Official Opposition after losing the Premiership.

- Harry created the Alberta Service Corps which created paid summer jobs for youth to work in the public & environmental sectors. A great student initiative by Harry.

- Harry Strom created Athabasca University, a post-secondary & correspondence wonder of a school.

Dear Jeff:

I don't know if you saw the British National Theatre production of "The Audience" starring Dame Commander & Academy Award (TM) Winner Helen Mirren reprising her Oscar (TM) winning role as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The IInd, but it was fabulous. I attended her performance at the West Edmonton Mall Cineplex movie theatre complex & was very pleased to see several students interested in the dramatic arts attending the performance. I talked to a few of them and their parents afterwards and a few talked about wanting to get into acting, writing, costume design, directing, etc.

It seems rather a pity does it not that I don't have the proper contact information for playwright Peter Morgan? I was going to suggest to him that he write a play called "The Elizabethan Age" & have Dame Commander & Academy Award (TM) Winner Judi Dench join Helen Mirren on stage in her Oscar (TM) winning role as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Ist & the II Dame Commanders reprise the two Lizzies & discuss how they have ruled so well for a combined total of over one century & why monarchs named Elizabeth are just so fantastic at the job!

The Box Office Champ Of A Premier Who Started A Dynasty

May XIVth, MMXIV

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

Dear Jeff:

Today Executive Dissertations looks at the man who started the Progressive Conservative dynasty & brought down Social Credit after XXXVI (36) years straight in power., Alberta's Xth (10th) Premier: The Honourable E. Peter Lougheed, PC. Premier Lougheed's first name was "Edgar" but he went by his second name of "Peter", so this is why I have placed his first rather than his second name in the Post Labels column. Premier Lougheed was Premier from MCMLXXI-MCMLXXXV (1971-1985.)

- Peter's gracious widow Jeanne & his family miss him tremendously as he died in MMXII of heart failure & congestive issues, ironically in the very hospital in Calgary that bears his name.

- Peter's grandpa was a British & Canadian citizen & b/c Canadians were allowed to have Knighthoods at the time, Sir James Lougheed was how he was addressed.

- Peter Lougheed was big on education so IV students he's an educational delight to know about. He possessed a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University Of Alberta, which is the school where he also obtained his Bachelor of Laws degree. In addition to being a lawyer, Peter Lougheed was a graduate later on from Harvard University in business a Masters in Business Administration (MBA), truly a smart gentleman & scholar.

- Peter also played for the Edmonton Eskimos like last week's Premier, Don Getty. This old school game of stratagem allowed Premier Lougheed to win four straight majority terms in power, each time winning a bigger number of seats, a true political genius!

- Peter started up the Heritage Savings Trust Fund which gave Albertans billions in cash for emergency situations. He was also very helpful in getting Calgary the MCMLXXXVIII (1988) Winter Olympics.

In this way, they would die in prison & cease being a threat to any child. I realize this might seem extreme, but it is still kinder than what Mr. Klok & others have done II their victims, & as Canada will never bring back the death penalty, it seems like a fitting punishment.

When Miss Ellie's husband Jock died in a helicopter crash in South America, his & her friends in "the oil business" created an educational scholarship & foundation known as the "Jock Ewing Memorial Scholarship." They insisted that Jock's widow, Miss Ellie take it upon herself to be the patron of that scholarship & Miss Ellie was ever so greatful in her acceptance speech of that honour.

Miss Ellie, also known as the "Yellow Rose Of Texas" was sad to have lost her husband, but she knew that the monies received by the beneficiary students in Jock's name would have them get a good educational foundation & a head start in life. Something he definitely would have wanted. Southern Methodist University was only to happy to be Miss Ellie's partner.

Today Executive Dissertations continues it tributes to Alberta Premiers with a look at our XIth (11th) Premier Donald (Don) R. Getty who was Premier from MCMLXXXV-MCMXCII (1985-1992.)

- Don graduated from the University Of Western Ontario with a degree in business. So he was very interested in being a businessman & athlete simultaneously.

- Don was the Edmonton Eskimos winning Quarterback IV both the MCMLV & MCMLVI (1955 & 1956) Grey Cup matches, giving us two Grey Cups here in Edmonton. Don is married to his high school & may I say very beautiful sweetheart Margaret.& has four sons & many grandchildren.

- Don served as Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs & as Minister of Energy in cabinets of then Premier E. Peter Lougheed before leaving politics in MCMLXXIX (1979) to go into business for a few years until Premier Lougheed decided to retire VI (6) years later & therefore open up the Premier's & PC Association Of Alberta leader's chairs.

- Don was the Member Of The Legislature Assembly (MLA) for Edmonton-Whitemud just like current Premier Dave Hancock is. However, just like Dave who was born in Fort Resolution, The North West Territories, Don was born in city of Westmount, Quebec & not in Alberta's borders. So two Edmonton-Whitemud Premiers in a row born outside Alberta.

- Don was the first Premier in Canadian history to sign Provincial Land Treatises with First Nations & Metis groups. A truly noble idea!

Dear Jeff:

Today, more police procedures of the Los Angeles Police Department must be followed. All the way from the newest officer through Sergeant Joe Friday & up onto the police chief. Today, the Sarge has been placed in command of an undercover assault & battery detail on a grid sector in cars. A middle aged female suspect has been pistol-whipping & robbing students of textbooks, valuables, & anything else she can sell for cash on their way out of school. The Sarge's job: find her!

"We parked down the street, called the office & advised them we were on stakeout."

Take Them II The Squad Room IV Identification Purposes,

Rory

Dear Jeff;

So Edmonton's Mayor Don Iveson is sad that he cannot get the funding II make the Yellowhead Trail interchanges safe IV students & their family's to travel on in terms of infrastructure upgrades. Perhaps if Don as a Councillor hadn't voted with former Mayor Stephen Mandel II give multi-billionaire Daryl Katz money IV a hockey arena he could afford to pay IV out of his own pocket. VI (6) months inII the job & I notice Don hasn't actually accomplished anything. Why did I vote for this guy again? One thing's for sure, Don will find a way to make taxpayers move the Wayne Gretzky statue to the new arena when it Daryl Katz & Rexall Sports that should be footing the bill? Is there anything that Daryl actually pays IV out of his own pocket?

What A Waste,

Rory
