Dear Jeff:

A dazed female science teacher is confused about what the police are telling her. It only makes sense as she was just hit on the back of head by a drugged up student with a crowbar who has gotten away after also robbing her. Sergeant Joe Friday of the Los Angeles Police Department has to become less "matter of fact" in tone & instead "reassuring" to calm her down & so he can get some sort of statement in order II possibly get a lead on the escapee.

"If your confused ma'am, we'd be happy to explain police terminology in layman's terms."

Dear Jeff:

So Edmonton Sun columnist Rick Whelan talks about reading aloud II his kids when they were young at every chance you can get. Now, the American Society Of Pediatrics (ASOP) also suggests parents read II their kids aloud in the doctor's office. Visiting dr's offices can be stressful IV parents, the kids themselves, & IV any patients in the room who might have II put up with a loud & squawking child who might be scared of perhaps having II have a needle for instance. So this idea II read II kids out loud is smart b/c it will calm them down & stimulate their brains & cognition levels with an interesting story. ASOP suggests parents start this reading process right from birth & I must say I like the idea. Keeping a baby or a youngster focused on a positive oration of a story will make their cognition levels stronger, bond with their parent II a greater degree, & also make any medical procedure required less upsetting IV them.

Very Intelligent,

Rory

Premier Herbert Greenfield With Envy

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

June XXVth, MMXIV

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

Dear Jeff:

IVth (4th) Premier of Alberta Herbert W. Greenfield, United Farmers of Alberta (UFA) never really got a handle on the job. He was sort of like Premier Redford, no focus. I mean what is the problem with Alberta Premiers with colours in their last name? Herbert ruled from MCMXXI-MCMXXV (1921-25) & part of the reason he struggled is he didn't run for a seat in the Alberta Legislature Assembly Chamber in the MCMXXI General Election, thus his party was hampered by having no leader & having other MLA's such as John Brownlee & Richard Reid run things, all while not having the actual power of the Premier's office to do so.

- Herbert was born in Winchester, Hampshire England. Just as Former Liberal Prime Minister John Napier Turner was born in London, England.

- Students reading this will be glad II know that Herbert in his early political career really enjoyed working for their educational rights. He served as a school board trustee for a dozen years. Including stints as secretary, treasurer, & chairman. Plus, he gained administrative experience as Vice-President of the Alberta Educational Association. This led him to learn how II chair meetings & such.

- Herbert was strong on female equality & rights, it was he who appointed Alberta's Ist female cabinet minister, Mrs. Irene Parlby in MCMXXI as Minister without Portfolio. This was due II the strong influence of his wife Elizabeth, who gave him two healthy sons: Franklin & Arnold. Elizabeth died during surgery the next year & a year after leaving the Premier's chair, Herbert married Marjorie & became a proud stepdad to II more children.

- Herbert Greenfield created the Alberta Wheat Pool & together with his successor John Brownlee got Alberta farmers & their family's more localized control of their natural resources away from the federal government.

- Just like Premiers Stelmach & Redford, who got inII trouble for hugely ridiculous increases to MLA's salaries, perks, & expenses, Herbert got inII trouble for his idea to increase MLA pay exponentially. So much so that MLA's would earn more meeting just VI (6) afternoons a year in the Legislature than struggling farmers did in a whole year. Herbert should have known better & not been so clueless, especially as he was a farmer by vocation himself.

Dear Jeff:

Having just gotten back my laptop for a IInd time under warranty from down in Ontario, I cannot help but stress the importance of packaging & boxing it up IV safe transport to its shipping destination & as a customer, the right each of us has to expect the product to be shipped back safely so as to avoid damage. A Grade VIII (8) student was reviewing some history on Canadian Prime Ministers with me online and he accidentally tipped over his orange juice onto my laptop. He didn't do it on purpose, & his family paid my shipping costs & it was fixed under warranty. But, without proper boxing up & packaging such as foam, installation, & plastic or cardboard, my laptop (a learning tool) could have been severely damaged.

The Student Sayings Of Joe Friday On Fridays From Los Angeles, California Case Forty-Eight

June XXth, MMXIV

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

Dear Jeff:

In cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department & its officers, Sergeant Joe Friday & Officer Frank Smith, California State officials are offering free tuition for entry level college courses and books & other learning materials to students of a lesser means who are picking up weapons off the street which can not only be harmful II them, but II others as well. Many of these students are picking up guns and other weaponry off the street left over from gang wars and then selling them for cash &/or drugs. By offering the free tuition its hoped by the Sgt. & Off. Smith that the students will turn over a new leaf and go into a learning institution & become productive citizens instead of turning onto a criminal path. Unlike the illegal gun seizure by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) a year ago in High River & ordered by then Madam Premier Alison M. Redford, QC, MLA, Progressive Conservative, Calgary-Elbow, this is an up front and voluntary turning in of weapons by the public to the police IV honest & ethical reasons. Sgt. Friday is hopeful that many students will turn away from violence & turn in their guns in exchange for the free education & tells Off. Smith of his hopes.:

"The odds are in our favour Frank, its worked before."

Dear Jeff:

Although Vth (5th) Premier of Alberta John E. Brownlee, QC, LL. D., United Farmers Of Alberta (UFA) resigned from office due to a sex scandal & was sued by the victim & had to pay money by court order to her, the allegations were never proved with any actual physical evidence. So a matter of "he said, she said." A comparable example being XLIInd (42nd) United States President William Jefferson Clinton, Democrat-Arkansas. If Monica or "Miss" Lewinsky had not saved her dress with the President's DNA on it, or at least had it dry cleaned, there would have been no proof against the then Chief Executive & therefore no legal basis II impeach him. Premier Brownlee served in office from MCMXXV-MCMXXXIV (1925-1934) & was the MLA for Ponoka.

- Born in Port Ryerse, Ontario, the birth province of two of our current candidates for Progressive Conservative leader, John was quite strong on the educational front. Students will take note that he studied political science & history at Victoria College on the University Of Toronto campus bIV moving west to practice law.

- John's wife Florence was a talented arts student at McMaster College & gave him II sons.

- John worked with Sir James Lougheed, grandfather of another future Premier, The Hon. E. Peter Lougheed, already profiled in an earlier Executive Dissertations post. Also in that law firm was Richard Bedford (R.B.) Bennett, a future Prime Minister Of Canada. Talk about a historically rich & diverse group of talented gentlemen.

- John managed II negotiate a deal with the federal government to turn control of its natural resources over to Alberta government hands. Truly an amazing accomplishment.

- John divested off most of the agricultural colleges in the province that were losing money and tried to use the struggling assets II help struggling farmers in trouble with collapsing wheat prices, but this failed & along with the alleged sexual affair led to his resignation.

Sergeant Joe Friday & his partner for the shift Officer Bill Gannon of the Los Angeles Police Department have stumbled onto an incredible racket. Corrupt college professors & their students have been working together to steal television sets from local Los Angeles merchants on Friday nights, then sell them cheap to unsuspecting people such as seniors on low incomes. BeIV they sell them, they adjust the mechanisms inside so the tv's will break down after a few days. Then the customers are sold an even bigger scam & unneeded repairs on the tv's are made, sometimes just enough so that they last a few days bIV breaking down again, thus fleecing these poor victims out of even more money. Its Friday the XIIIth (13th), so the Sgt. & Officer are working the night shift out patrolling the streets looking IV suspects and having unmarked squad cars stake out stores that sell tv's & other electronic consumer goods so that they can chase the robbers down & follow them II where the ringleaders are storing the stolen merchandise. The Sarge & Officer Gannon are overwhelmed at the size of the black market, which is netting the robbers several thousand dollars a week. As Sgt. Friday puts it in an exasperated voice:

"Its a huge market isn't it Bill?"

June XIth, MMXIV

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

Dear Jeff:

VIth (6th) Premier of Alberta, Richard G. Reid was quite a fascinating fellow. He served in the capacity of Premier for the second shortest period of time, taking over from Premier John Brownlee who was in poor health & often absent from the Legislature & accused of sexually deviant acts with a minor girl (which were never physically proven,) Richard served as Premier from July Xth, MCMXXXIV (10th, 1934)-September IIIrd, MCMXXXV (3rd, 1935.) Only current Premier Dave Hancock, Progressive Conservative, Edmonton-Whitemud (who is serving in an "interim" capacity) will wind up serving less days in office when he finishes as the Progressive Conservative Association Of Alberta chooses a new leader in September or October.

- Richard was the last of III (3) Premiers under the United Farmers Of Alberta party banner. He faced a similar situation as Social Credit Premier Harry Strom, & whomever succeeds Dave Hancock as Premier & Progressive Conservative leader, the chance that he might be the last leader of a party dynasty & like Strom, he was. This factor & the fact that UFA couldn't get a handle on things during The Great Depression caused voters to turf out the UFA caucus entirely in the MCMXXXV election in favour of Social Credit.

- Richard, a Scottish immigrant born near Glasgow served valiantly in the Royal Army Medical Corps during the IInd Boer War. A fascinating tidbit IV students interested in history to know.

- Richard & his wife Marion immigrated here in MCMIII (1903) & served in varying careers. First as a farmhand in Manitoba, then as a lumberjack in Ontario, & finally as dentist in Alberta, using his practical knowledge from his time as a soldier.

- Richard sure put us through a low point as a province when he rammed through the Sexual Sterilization Act Of Alberta or forced "eugenics", a direct assault on the mentally handicapped. A bill that would haunt Premier Ralph Klein into making a settlement financially decades later. Plus, as Health Minister, he also laid off many school inspection nurses & public health nurses all in the name of government surpluses. Not really wise when people need nurses today. It seems very similar to today & your government's constant laying off & hiring back of nurses & other public civil servants on a whim Jeff.

- Richard helped farmers and their young family's by having the government buy their cattle when they needed ready cash & helped them with government assistance for moving expenses so that they could move to alternate farms &/or employment & get back to an economically viable position.

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

Dear Jeff:

A law student from the University Of Alberta who I met in a political online chat room told me that she believes that the Former Madam Premier, a Ms. Alison Merilla Redford, LL. B., QC, MLA, Progressive Conservative, Calgary-Elbow should be disbarred with an action sent to The Law Society Of Alberta. Arguments include:

I. Disbarment as a lawyer since she as a Crown Minister, in fact the Head of Her Majesty's Government broke a fiduciary trust with Albertans by spending untold thousands of dollars on personal trips and other such endeavours. Then, she tacitly admitted guilt by apologizing & paying back some of the monies (and even then under protest.)

II. She should lose her "Queen's Counsel" or "QC" designation permanently since she abused the taxpayer purse and therefore embarrassed the government & Her Majesty since she was The Queen's head of that very government.

III. Blocked from ever instructing law at any institution in the province &/or Canada wide so that her unethical financial & legal practices are not passed onto other law students of the future, thus clouding their minds & judgements with "shadow-like" ideas.

IV the record, I make no judgments on any of these statements or on whether I personally agree with them or not. Ms. Redford is free to write counter arguments or dissertations as to why these arguments are wrong.

As stressed bIV in in this blog, the main focus of police officers is teamwork & the most important officers of them all are the beat patrol or "on the street" officers. These ground force squads gather a lot of the information that Sergeant Joe Friday of the Los Angeles Police Department & other administrative higher ups (as well as beat command officers) can use in the solving of crimes. The Sgt. needs help when two of a gang leader's student aides are in denial about being involved in the gang & selling heroin to high school & middle (junior high) school students. Sgt. Friday is commanding a "Special Detail" of beat cops & has an officer with long range photography skills filming as well as taking still pictures of the drug buys. W/o this pictorial evidence, Sgt. Friday would have one hell of a time making the charges stick. The Sarge tells the gang leader's parents who are in denial:

"Both of them have juvenile records, both of them belong to your son's gang."

VIIth (7th) Premier of Alberta, William "Bible" Bill Aberhart was sure an interesting gentleman. I cannot find a middle name for William so I insert his nickname in the Labels area which seems appropriate as he did preach spiritually.

- William has the distinction of being the only Premier to have been born in one province, served as Premier of Alberta, & be buried in a IIIrd province. William was born in Kippen, Ontario, ran the Province of Alberta from MCMXXXV-MCMXLIII (1935-1943). William died in Vancouver, British Columbia  unexpectedly & Mrs. Jessie Aberhart his good wife had him buried there nearby in Burnaby to save Alberta taxpayers the cost of transporting his body back II Alberta & also the fact she had intended to move with the Premier when he retired to live with their II adult daughters in Vancouver where they resided anyway.

- William had the distinction of serving III (3) monarchs. Their Majesty's King George The Vth, King Edward The VIIIth, & King George The VIth. Definitely a factoid for students interested in the monarchy II know.

- William was a school principal at Alexandra School in Calgary & also taught religious studies at Grace Presbyterian Church, as well as Wesley & Trinity Methodist Churches. William later became a lay Baptist preacher & became involved with the Westbourne Baptist Church.

- William had an intense interest in education & wanted to shape children in not just a Christian way, but in a moral way so that Alberta students of the 1930's & 40's would bring religious honesty & integrity to their daily lives as citizens. This interest led William to be the Minister of Education simultaneously for every single day in office he was also Premier.

- William has a high school named after him in Calgary in honour of his dedication to young people.

Dear Jeff:

Earlier this morning at the Westmount Tim Hortons, I saw a young female student & her friends chatting about music. She attends Ross Sheppard High School & her late uncle left her his violin in his will. She only had it for VI (6) months, but I & several other customers encouraged her to play a piece and believe it or not she picked Adele's James Bond film musical piece: "SkyFall." How unique to hear such a beautiful rendition of the main man for Her Majesty's Secret Service's latest film. I told her to definitely try classical, jazz, & any other pieces in music genres of all types. Talk about a fun thing to happen to a person in a Tim Hortons.

And Let Me Play The Music Of The Day,

Dear Jeff:

Many people, whether famous or not have accomplished great things and they don't always have to have been the first to get to the goal to become famous or have a sense of achievement. Students can look forward to learning about famous "second placers" in future Executive Dissertations blog entries on the IInd of the month once in awhile, like today: June IInd.

I. Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin was the IInd man to walk on the Moon surface after his more famous counterpart Neil Armstrong. Buzz had a great career in the United States Air Force (USAF) as a Colonel & was Commandant of the Air Force Test Pilot School.

II. George Walker Bush, Republican-Texas came in IInd in terms of the popular vote in the MM (2000) United States Presidential Election but still got to be the XLIIIrd (43rd) President Of The United States as he had more Electoral College votes than his challenger, Albert Arnold "Al" Gore, Jr., Democrat-Tennessee.

III. Tenzing Norgay from of Great Britain was teamed with Edmund Hilary of New Zealand to climb the world's tallest mountain peak, Mount Everest. Tenzing was IInd to reach the summit after Edmund.

That's Rather Secondary,
