wh er e fr iend s mee t to e at
summer hours
Members of the nicola Valley teachers Union were back on picket lines
Monday. As part of the BCtF, they been
on strike and locked out all summer although they had not actively picketed
work sites this summer. We are down
to the crunch, nVtU president Peter
Vogt said, And we need the public and
the government to be aware that we
want a settlement this week so we can go
back to schools next week and teach."
the BCtFs position is that education
Minister Fassbenders comments last
week were not helpful in moving the
sides forward. Peter said the ministers
comments appeared to have more to do
with punishing teachers by using parents
and students as pawns with an offer to
pay parents up to $40 per student under
the age of 13 if there is no settlement by
september 2nd.
the minister and his government are
busy playing politics using the students
of BC instead of agreeing to go forward
with unrestricted mediation to resolve
the dispute he noted.
Peter urges parents and members of the
public to contact their local school trustees,
senior school district staff, and MlA Jackie
tegart to get them to urge the government
to move forward with unrestricted mediation to get this dispute resolved.

Manual Typewriter
The boys had been up in the attic together helping with some cleaning. The kids uncovered an old manual typewriter and asked her, "Hey, Mom, what's this?" "Oh,
that's an old typewriter," she answered, thinking that would satisfy their curiosity.
"Well, what does it do?" they queried. "I'll show you," their mother said. She went
downstairs and returned with a blank piece of paper. She rolled the paper into the
typewriter and began striking the keys, leaving black letters of print on the page.
"WOW!" the boys exclaimed, "That's really cool -- but how does it work like that?
Where do you plug it in?" "There is no plug," she answered. "It doesn't need a plug."
"Then where do you put the batteries?" they persisted. "It doesn't need batteries either," she continued."Wow! This is so cool!" the brothers exclaimed. "Someone
should have invented this a long time ago!"
