The Teacher Strikes
The strike of teachers in Idaho Falls has been very much in
the news lately, and the entire area is watching very closely
the outcome. Now that their strike has been settled, we read
where Pocatello teachers have walked out.
During the past several years, teachers and other
employees in the public sector of our economy have been
demanding—and getting—increases in salary which have
resulted in ever-increasing budgets in the various levels of
government.
In view of the senous financial situation which schools and
governments are experiencing throughout the nation, we
would suggest that at this time further strikes and threats of
strikes can only diminish the public employees' stature in the
eyes of the public, and force legislation which would tend to
make their situation less secure.
It's hard to believe that teachers' strikes are legal anyway,
when the law requires that a child must be in school. How can
a child be in school without a teacher in the classroom?
We received a copy of the Oregon Education Association
monthly publication. Headlined "OEA Negotiations Paying
Off!.” they proudly write that "OEA negotions are paying off
handsomely with many 10-15% salary and fringe gains for
Oregon teachers this year, contrasted to NEA (National
Education Association) reports of gains averaging 5-11%
nationwide.
In addition. OEA negotiators are gaining a wide variety of
non-economic contract provisions. These include binding
arbitration, fair share, just cause and enforceable class size,
among others.”
The bulletin goes on to say that 21 school districts in
Oregon still had not settled their contract disputes at the
opening of school.
Under national news, the OEA Bulletin reports that
"teacher strikes this fall had already outstripped last year's
level as schools opened this month. Strikes prove in no
uncertain terms teacher determination to face down
intransigent school boards to assure salary equity in these
uncertain economic times."
“Fifty-nine NEA affiliates had reported strikes by the first
week of September. Fourteen had been settled, but 44 were
still in progress affecting 13,500 teachers. 270.000 students.
Contract negotiations were going on in 2.300 districts
nationwide even as schools opened.”
We can be thankful here in Nyssa that our teachers and
school board have been reasonable and fair in their
bargaining, and are conscious of the public interest. School
fights and unrest tear a community apart, and we can see the
results not too far away. Our schools are good here, and we
would hope that we. the employers, have been good to the
teachers.

The Church. What It Otters You
By Erldene Johnson
The smart shopper is
always on the lookout for
bargains. A product that
offers you equal value for the
money you must
spend.
However the wise shopper
also knows that the signs, in
the windows, do not always
tell the whole story.
The choice of a place to
worship God is of the utmost
importance to you and your
family, because to a great
degree it is a decision that
effects your eternal destiny.
The church you choose
should be a church that
teaches the Bible as the
inspired word of God. Not to
be tampered with or chan
ged. but accepted as direct
from God. His will revealed
to man. It should be a church
that offers you the warmth of
Christian fellowship. A chu
rch that believes in prayer
and the power of God. A
church that allows the Holy
Spirit to direct the lives of
each individual, and minister

It should be a church with a
vision. A passion far the will
of God. a tremendous love for
the gospel. Paul said "I am
not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ for it is the power of
God unto salvation."
Joshua stood before the
people of Israel one day and
demanded that they make a
choice, whom they would
serve. The God of the world
or Jehovah the one true God
Then he stood tall and
straight before them and
said, "as for me and my
house we will serve the
Lord."
Jesus said, "I am the light
of the world he that believeth
in me shall not walk in
darkness but shall have the
light of life." John 8:12,
"and this is life eternal, that
they might know thee the
only true God and Jesus
Christ whom thou has sent."
Jn 17:3
The Church should offer
you all these things I have
mentioned and much more.
But above everything else it
should be a Church that
proclaims Jesus Christ as the
Saviour of the world, that
honors and glorifies Him.
