On the City, From the Burbs.
Watson Losing Grip on Council?
October 31, 2018 / Susan Sherring	/ 5 Comments
With seven new city councillors around the table in December, it's going be a much different council on Lisgar Avenue than we've come to expect.
And fingers crossed, here's hoping it will be a more independent council than we've witnessed over the past couple of terms.
There's certainly good reason to believe that will be the case.
For starters, Mayor Jim Watson had made it clear he favoured certain candidates over others, but his efforts didn't sway the voters.
In his own neighbourhood of Bay ward, he publicly endorsed Liberal Don Dransfield. Theresa Kavanagh walked away with the ward. Kavanagh has run for the New Democrats and is married to former Bay councillor Alex Cullen, a nemesis of Watson's for years.
Watson is also buddies with David Gourlay, who lost to Jenna Sudds in Kanata. And in College ward, former Watson staffer Ryan Kennery moved into the ward to take on another councillor on Watson's hit list – Rick Chiarelli. It wasn't to be for Kennery, who I absolutely believe could make a strong city councillor one day – just not on Watson's heavy-handed suggestion.
And in Innes ward, Watson criticized Laura Dudas for accepting an endorsement from councillor Riley Brockington. (Frankly, it is pretty hard to understand why anyone would want Brockington's endorsement – but that's another story!) The fact is plenty of councillors endorse candidates, Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder supported Carol Anne Meehan against incumbent Michael Qaqish (happy to say she was victorious!) and Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney supported Donna Leith-Gudbrason in a race Dudas won. Didn't hear Watson criticizing them – and it's safe to say he wan't pulling for the right-wing Meehan. I was!
Watson also got into a nasty twitter war against Capital ward challenger Shawn Menard. Menard won the race, beating out incumbent David Chernushenko.
So if there was ever any doubt, Watson appears to have absolutely no influence in the ward races, despite his efforts otherwise.
He even went so far as to tweet out against councillors who disagree with him – urging voters to stay clear of those councillors
"When I see candidates who are always angry and wanting to "fight" on every issue I say look for a more positive and collaborative person – one who will work well with neighbours and colleagues. That's how our level of government works best and obtains positive results!" he wrote.
Added to all, the councillors considered to be on the political left have increased. That's not a bad thing, except for Watson. A balanced council is a better council – and we can hope for more meaningful debate. Joining Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum and (often) Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury are newly-elected Capital Coun. Shawn Menard and councillor-elect Theresa Kavanagh. While defeated councillor David Chernushenko's politics were said to be left leaning, he couldn't be relied upon. Frequently joining that group are Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans – and sometimes College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, depending on the issue.
Watson has more than once criticized councillors for asking too many questions at council, telling them to ask questions at committee. Here's a newsflash Mayor Watson – you don't get to dictate that. In fact, you shouldn't be dictating anything.
The residents of Ottawa have spoken. And all signs point to a stronger city council – one which isn't going to simply let Watson tell them what's good for them. Instead, they'll do what's right for us.
Watson Will Win, the Public Won't
October 22, 2018 / Susan Sherring	/ 1 Comment
Making an endorsement for the mayor of Ottawa isn't easy and is no way is satisfying.
This will be brief and not just because the polls have been open for hours.
I simply can't endorse Mayor Jim Watson, who has shown his utter disdain for anyone who opposes him. What elected official is so thin-skinned that he blocks people who oppose him?
This isn't a case of residents being rude.
Watson feels he shouldn't have his sacred twitter account clogged with too many messages from residents who oppose him.
Poor baby.
You represent all of us. That's your job. So get over it.
We all have a right to be heard – and if it takes you a few extra seconds to scroll throughout tweets, whatever.
Watson's controls council with an iron fist, discouraging debate in favour of his ceremonial goodies package.
He loves bringing on late items to council that his duly-elected members are unaware of – and insisting there's some sort of urgency in a vote.
And he dares to scold councillors who ask too many questions. Seriously?
He has an agenda, and is so controlling, he resents the opposition.
Despite all of that, there's little doubt Watson will win tonight and there will be a huge victory party and plenty of accolades in his honour.
My only hope at this point is that his handpicked choices for council are rejected. That would be some comfort.
Let's face it, his only real challenger was Clive Doucet, who appears so desperate to make his mark – he promised to bring back weekly garbage pickup in the summer months.
Guess that's what the thirst for power does to a person.
Over the years, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley and I have had our differences.
Most notably, I've often disagreed with some of his spending habits, billing taxpayers for items that in my mind he has no business charging the taxpayers for. He picked up a lunch tab for a group of volunteers that included former prime minister Stephen Harper. As I understand it, Harper was more upset than I was to have his name appear on a city of Ottawa expense claim. I could go on, but in this case, perhaps no reason to. With Hubley, a capital C Conservative, I've been incredibly disappointed with his spending habits.
So I was looking forward to seeing what his opponents had to offer.
He's being challenged by candidates Steve Anderson and Mike Brown.
Anderson dissed fiscal conservatism, calling on increased spending. And Brown, while certainly a little more impressive, didn't offer up any reason to vote against Hubley.
This one was simple, re-elect Hubley.
The same argument can be made in West Carleton-March, where incumbent Eli El-Chantiry rules that roost. He needs to get off of the Ottawa Police Services Board, he's doing himself more harm than good. He's not effective and is seen as being too soft on the organization.
He's being challenged by James Parsons and Judi Varga-Toth – both of whom lost me in the first few minutes of the debate.
If you're going to take on an incumbent, you have to prove you're better than the person sitting in the chair.
Varga-Toth said she would only be favouring issues that benefit West Carleton-March. So much for being a city councillor.
And Parsons favours weekly garbage pick-up. Hope he's okay when the city starts scouting for a new landfiill his ward.
So it's El-Chantiry for the win, but that's not a resounding endorsement.
Bay Ward Wide Open
October 22, 2018 / Susan Sherring	/ Leave a comment
With the made and rarely kept promise by outgoing councillor Mark Taylor to only serve two terms, there will be a new councillor in Bay ward tonight.
The five vying for your vote are Erica Dath, Don Dransfield, Theresa Kavanagh, Marc Lugert and Trevor Robinson, a returning candidate.
Let's be frank – since the polls are already open – the candidate with the most experience in this ward is Kavanagh. She's a school board trustee. She knows the area, she knows politics and she has new ideas that deserve an audience.
Again, not wanting to dismiss any of the candidates, the race is widely seen as a contest between Kavanagh and Don Dransfield.
Interestingly enough, both have spouses who've either been in or are involved in politics themselves. Kavanagh is married to Alex Cullen, who held the ward before Taylor. (Please don't hold that against her!) Dransfield, who is Mayor Jim Watson's choice, is married to Liberal MP Anita Vandenbeld.
The MP for Ottawa West–Nepean sent a robocall to her constituents asking them to vote for her husband in the upcoming municipal election and many believe it could be a violation of the code of conduct for federal politicians.
Vandenbeld's robocall opens with her asking the listener to vote for her husband Don Dransfield, who's running for city council.
"As your federal MP," Vandenbeld says in the call, "I'm looking for a municipal counterpart to who's going to fight as hard for the people of the community as I do."
That message appeared to rub some people on social media the wrong way. Seriously, whether or not it breaks any rules, it's clearly so inappropriate. And it shows the lengths Dransfield is willing to go to win.
In the Rogers debate, Kavanagh was impressive. She was reasoned, knowledgeable and relatable. And she showed a lot of heart when Dransfield absolutely lost his way during the debate and couldn't recover. Not sure what happened there. But it was Kavanagh who kindly stepped in to make the moment somewhat less awkward – finishing his thought and giving him credit. Very classy.
Kudos to Dath for an impressive showing, but this debate belonged to Kavanagh – and is the right and reasonable candidate to give your support to.
Time to Oust Cloutier
In Alta Vista, let's be clear.
Incumbent Jean Cloutier does not deserve re-election.
He hasn't been effective either at the ward level – and is almost invisible at council.
Small wonder that so many strong candidates are working hard to oust him from his seat.
But that's the problem isn't it?
There are six candidates running, five of whom want Cloutier's job.
And four of them are worthy of your consideration.
I'm dismissing Mike McHarg, whose opening address dealt with obesity and soda pop. Sure that's an admirable cause, but it's not a burning issue locally and surely won't entice voters to his team.
That still leaves Clinton Cowan, Kevin Kit, Raylene Lang-Dion and John Redins.
You've heard of the Little effect? People were desperately unhappy with Shawn Little's performance and many contenders jumped into the election, so many people that Little – the man no one wanted won.
And that is my fear in Alta Vista. Certainly there aren't as many people taking Cloutier on, but those in the race are strong.
I have a lot of time for John Redins, he's worked in the trenches for years. He's not as slick as the other three, but he knows the ward. Good on him.
As an aside, it was a bit rich to see Cloutier challenging his fellow candidates to be more transparent with campaign donations. Really? A little late to take the high road.
Enough said there.
Ultimately, one candidate emerged as the clear winner – Raylene Lang-Dion – a strong voice during the debate with a detailed platform to back her talk up.
Certainly Cowan was also impressive.
But a choice has to be made, and mine is Dion.
Gower for the Win
When you make an endorsement, you have to feel completely confident in your choice.
Sure, there's a fair bit of subjectivity to that. But to say that an incumbent's time is up, you can't do that lightly.
In my mind, Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri is one of the nicest councillors around the council table. He's always willing to chat, makes times for my questions – and is available most every time I reach out to him.
Sadly for him, Qadri hasn't been a strong enough voice in his own community and longtime volunteer Glen Gower has launched an incredibly effective campaign to oust him. If you follow Twitter, the response to Gower's campaign has ben overwhelmingly positive.
Frankly, that's understandable.
Qadri hasn't been a leader around council. Never was. Ironically, I found him stronger in the Rogers debate than I've witnessed him around the council table in years. But Gower came armed with the facts and a strong presence.
"We need a stronger voice for the residents of Stittsville. People have lost trust in the city and we need to rebuild that," Gower said in a solid opening statement.
Qadri comes across as too cautious at times. Speaking of changes in policing in Stittsville, which hasn't made (everyone) happy (what does?). He takes a steady as she goes attitude, instead of Gower's sense of urgency for change.
"We may be lagging a bit with our new model. Let's see how it works out, it's only been six months, maybe a year," Qadri said.
Just can't believe this will come close to satisfying his residents who appear to be looking for a more forceful councillor to represent them.
When the public starts looking for someone new, nice won't cut it.
Gower summed it up pretty well in his closing address, saying the two had known each other for years.
"But I'm still not clear on your vision," Gower said to his opponent.
He's not alone.
The nod goes to Gower.
Capital Ward Deserves Better
It's not easy to simply dismiss a candidate. But in truth, incumbent David Chernushenko has failed to live up to his council responsibilities and Capital ward has paid for that. Last term, he sat on the sidelines criticizing former River Coun. Maria McRae for not doing enough as chair of the city's environment committee. Sadly, his performance at the helm of the same committee has been abysmal, which is all the more grating given his criticism of a colleague.
Around the council table, it's often hard to figure out what he stands for.
He's being challenged by Jide Afolabi, Anthony Carricato, Christine McAllister and Shawn Menard.
And there's the concern. With so many people running, the vote can be split and Chernushenko – as the incumbent and presumably the one with the best name recognition – can come up the middle. And the candidates challenging him in Capital appear all capable of offering new and fresh ideas in this downtown ward, not a weak one in the bunch.
There's no doubt Menard is a strong candidate, a great speaker who's done his homework. But when he started talking about bringing in free transit, he lost me. Where is that money going to come from? Does he know? Does he care?
Carricato was a pleasant surprise, perhaps because he isn't your typical downtown candidate. (Yes, I know I'm showing my suburban bias. I often find downtown councillors would just like to forget we really are all one big city.) Carricato breaks the usual mold of the downtown councillor, saying there are segments of our society that just can't afford increased taxes. And while his platform might please me, I'm just not convinced it will win the day in Capital ward.
There'a a certain calmness surrounding McAllister when she speaks. (That being said, I'd just watched the Barrhaven debate for a third time and the contrast was more than notable!) This group as a whole was impressive, they all seemed knowledgeable and were all courteous with each other. That bodes well for all of them in terms of their performance around the council table.
Menard is certainly strong, but I don't see him accepting his duel role as a representative for both Capital ward and the city as a whole. That's crucial and too many candidates forget that,
In the final analysis I have to give my nod to McAllister. And I'm not saying that reluctantly.
She came across as a thoughtful and knowlegable candidate who will consider the ideas of her colleagues – while working hard on behalf of both her ward and the city, just as she has as a volunteer. And in presenting herself to the public, she noted issues of concern in both her ward – where she has volunteered for 15 years – and issues like the environment – a city-wide concern.
McAllister would be an amazing addition to the new city council.
Endorsements Not for the Faint of Heart
I take writing endorsements seriously.
I don't do them lightly and I try to remember that behind every candidate's name is a person who cares about their community. They wouldn't have put their name forward otherwise; they wouldn't be devoting all their time to door-knocking, sacrificing their family time and risking their reputation.
The first time I wrote endorsements was in the early 80s for the Sunday Herald.
In hindsight, I was far too young and far too inexperienced to be writing them.
I remember vividly being at a social gathering after the election I'd made my first endorsement – and a city staffer for an incumbent I hadn't endorsed – and had lost – said he was out of a job.
"Yeah, I'm out of a job thanks to Sue Sherring," he said.
I was horrified. I think of that every time I make an endorsement. So I do my research, attempt to be fair and take it all very seriously. For me, endorsements are simply another tool for anyone researching who to vote for.
RogersTV has had all-candidate debates for every ward, the Citizen has asked all candidates to fill out surveys, as has the CBC, And most serious candidates have their own websites. Check it all out. I have.
With all of that being said, there are some races where I simply don't feel confident enough to make an endorsement; others where I want to throw up my hands in frustration.
In Rideau-Vanier, there are four candidates – incumbent Mathieu Fleury, Thierry Harris, Salar Changiz and Matt Lowe. While all four names are on the ballot, I really see this as a two way race between Fleury and Harris.
Rideau-Vanier is a complicated ward to represent, there's the Byward Market, Vanier, Sandy Hill and of course a large student population. The Salvation Army relocation debate has dogged this election, and finding the truth behind that is more than difficult.
I'm tempted to throw my endorsement to Fleury, who is clearly dedicated to the community and his residents. And I know he cares. But I realized that would be based solely on knowing Fleury from council. And Harris has proven himself to be a strong contender. This is a tough one. You're on your own here.
It's also a real struggle in Barrhaven as well. It's where I live and where I'll be voting.
I still don't know for who.
Incumbent Jan Harder has been a popular councillor in this area for years – with good reason. She works hard, cares about her ward and knows the issues better than anyone.
It's been years since she's had a serious challenger. This time around is different, and apparently Harder doesn't react well to serious competition. Taking Harder on in a televised Rogers debate were candidates
Franklin Epape, Atiq Qureshi and Hadi Wess. There is a fifth candidate registered – Ahmad Malgarai – who didn't attend the debate and doesn't have a website.
The debate was an absolute dog's breakfast, with Harder frequently interrupting the other candidates, calling Wess a liar and dismissing the thoughts of her fellow candidates. There were many times all of the candidates were talking over each other. Pretty difficult to even hear their election promises, as the quartet tried to speak over each other – seemingly oblivious to what viewers were seeing. And they were seeing a real mess for much of the time.
Moderator Mark Sutcliffe had his work cut out for him. He was of course up for the challenge.
Harder was clearly the target of this debate. And being Harder, she didn't just tell the candidates they were off base, she tried more than once to tell Sutcliffe how to do his job!
One of the key areas of contention is the issue at Stonebridge Golf Course, where Mattamy is talking about increasing the density of that golf course community. Wess seized on the issue during the campaign, knocking on thousands of doors and garnered a lot of interest in his candidacy. Harder appeared slow to take a stand, giving Wess an opening to gain support.
And Harder isn't taking his success at the doors well – often referencing his recent move into the ward.
Harder herself lives just outside the ward boundaries, something she doesn't like to share. Asked in a CBC survey if she lived in the ward, Harder wrote that she'd lived in #mybarrhaven for decades.
And she wasn't about to give an inch to Wess.
"You're lying again, lying just like you do at the door," she said.
Epape was an impressive candidate, and was good enough to say some kind words about the incumbent – if ever so briefly.
"I give a lot of credit to Jan Harder," he said, right before suggesting she hasn't been responsive enough to her entire community.
"We need someone who will talk to us, and when she doesn't reply (to the community) that's a huge problem," Epape said.
Of the four candidates, Qureshi appeared to have the weakest platform, relying on his financial background to attempt to convince voters he could better get a handle on the city budget.
While the incumbent in any race has a huge advantage, they are also the only ones forced to defend their record.
So Harder was bang on when she suggested during the debate, "I've been doing this for more than 20 years in Barrhaven. It's easy to promise the world when you haven't got a record to run on."
If you're happy with the status quo, Harder is your only choice. If you're looking for change, consider Wess or Epape.
Oust Brockington
If you've been following the shenanigans going in River ward, you must be painfully aware that Riley Brockington doesn't deserve to be re-elected.
He has proven time and time again he's more than willing to put himself and his own interests in retaining power ahead of those in his ward. If that means he keeps them in the dark, so be it.
Brockington has shown absolute disregard for public consultation. His lack of consideration for his constituents prompted well-loved Craig Searle to resign as the president of the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association.
A bit of history.
It's impossible to understand how or why Brockington thought it was so important to shut out his residents to change the landscape of Mooney's Bay for a $1 million – funds the city had to match. If you cover city hall, you know that $1 million doesn't have the clout it used to be. But Brockington sold out Mooney's Bay, kept the plans from his residents and forced the changes on them without the chance to even have a say about their own community.
Unbelievable. Unbelievable but true.
Then of course there's Canoe Bay, a neighbourhood-changing development where Brockington didn't fight for his constituents hard enough. He does listen to Mayor Jim Watson, but as I understand the rules, Watson can't vote in River ward!
Enter Fabien Kalala Cimankinda, a candidate in River ward who deserves to win the right to represent River ward.
"Kalala's early years are a familiar story of overcoming hardship as a young immigrant. His family fled war in Congo for a better life in Ottawa. He grew up in the Caldwell projects, where many members of his family still live and where all too many troubled young men and boys succumb to the temptations of crime or become victims of it.
"But it was a shooting, a death and a vow to do something about this kind of senseless violence in the community he grew up in that led to a political awakening and a determination to take his fight to city hall.
"Last year, during a routine visit to Caldwell with his young daughter to visit family, Kalala was thrust into a situation that tested his character and further awakened his passion for community service. It began with gunfire near where his daughter and other children played. Kalala instinctively ran to get the children inside. In the process he saw a man on the ground.
"I still remember to this day my daughter screaming," Kalala recounted emotionally in an interview with Ottawa Sun columnist Rick Gibbons.
According to Gibbons, Kalala rushed to the young man's aid and began applying pressure to stop the bleeding in his chest. He started CPR and (assisted by a police officer who had arrived on the scene) did everything he could to keep the shooting victim alive. He recounted how he later drove home, bloodied from the scene, only to hear on radio the young man had died, the story continues.
His political activism stepped up, and he became even more involved in his community.
A motion was moved at the Community and Protective Services Committee to recognize Kalala for his bravery. A ceremony was arranged for February.
But days before the event, Kalala was notified it was cancelled due to a heavy committee agenda. It never happened.
It wasn't until June that Kalala was finally notified the event would be postponed on the recommendation of the city solicitor since, by then, Kalala had officially registered as a candidate for River Ward and the city had all sorts of reasons why it couldn't go ahead.
This is one of the ugliest stories to find its way into city hall. Kalala is a hero and whoever is to blame, he wasn't honoured for what he did for this city.
Everyone knows someone isn't being honest about the delay, but regardless, if Brockington were any kind of a real leader – he would have insisted the honour go ahead.
So oust Brockington, elect Kalala and know your ward will be the better for it.
Also running are Kerri Keith, who appears to be a thoughtful and sincere candidate and Hassib Reda.
I don't mean to dismiss their candidacy, but Kalala is the right man at the right time. And River ward would be the richer for his presence at city hall.
Dirty Politics in Osgoode
Having served one term as the councillor for Osgoode, incumbent George Darouze is facing four incumbents, two of them strong
contenders standing in the way of him securing a second term.
There's Jay Tysick, who most recently ran in the rural area provincially and Kim Sheldrick, a thoughtful candidate, who ran last time against Darouze and knows what she's talking about it. Both are quality candidates worthy of your consideration.
Also running is Mark Scharfe, who wants to cancel the green bin program. That's enough for me to dismiss him as a viable candidate. In addition, he doesn't want senior staff to make more money than Mayor Jim Watson. That's pie in the sky, won't happen and you'd never attract quality senior level candidates. Enough said.
Here's the thing you need to know. Tysick is a good friend of mine. He campaigned for me in 2014 when I barely knew him. Since then, I've come to know him as a a solid, loyal friend – who cares deeply about just about everything! He's a strong family man who wants to make a difference in his community. Our politics differ greatly. But on the municipal level, what matters is a strength of your convictions and the understanding of how the process at city hall works and how to get things done. That description is Tysick to a T.
Darouze was supported last time around by outgoing councillor Doug Thompson, who has since soured on Darouze – and threw his support to Tysick. There were fireworks between Darouze and Tysick during much of a Rogers debate. Seems Darouze is running scared if the Rogers debate is any indication.
There's a dirty little smear campaign going on directed at Tysick. Seriously kids, is this what you do when confronted with solid competition? Shame. This isn't meant to implicate Darouze. I have no proof of that. There's no doubt that the website WhoIsJay.ca appears to have been created to discourage voters from marking their ballot for Tysick. The website has since been taken down, but it was calling for voters to reject Tysick. Joël Charbonneau, a Tysick supporter, filed a complaint about the site on Friday, arguing that the site violated election rules.
According to the complaint filed with the city clerk, the website calling for voters to mark their ballots against Tysick violates the rules for third-party advertisers. Third-party advertisers are not supposed to be in any contact with a candidate in the election. This sort of advertisement — whether it's an expression of support or opposition- has to be separate from the candidate's campaign. Charbonneau's complaint stated the website is hosted by Adam Sooley, who is also the president of the Greely Community Association.
Sooley has confirmed his company was hosting the site but said he was not involved with it and would not say who his clients are. He also confirmed that he was hosting the re-election website for Darouze, the incumbent councillor. That's cozy.
According to a post on WhoIsJay.ca, seven individuals (not named) are responsible for the site, which makes a number of statements about Tysick. The website could be considered third-party advertising. Third-party advertisers are required to register with Elections Ottawa before any activity, and that wasn't done in this case.
City solicitor/clerk Rick O'Connor responded to Charbonneau in an email.
"In light of your complaint, I will review this further to assess whether there is a contravention of the MEA (Municipal Elections Act). This review will also further inform me whether or not I will excercise my statutory discretion under the MEA to pursue this issue further," O'Connor wrote.
There's a fifth candidate in the race who didn't appear at the Rogers debate. Auguste Banfalvi, asked by a Citizen survey who he would vote for mayor responded, "None of your business."
But Darouze didn't even bother to respond to the Citizen survey. That's disconcerting. Maybe he doesn't realize the need to inform or the time restraints most of us have. Of course, in a discussion of city hall meeting locations, Darouze said it was no big deal for residents to take part of their day to attend a meeting at Ben Franklin Place. Clearly, Darouze has forgotten what it's like to have a 9 to 5 job where you're expected to be there from 9 to 5, juggle kids and get supper. Sheldrick set him straight.
Ousting an incumbent isn't easy. But Darouze hasn't proven himself to be a strong proponent for the rurals.
And while I think highly of Sheldrick, with Mayor Jim Watson at the helm, the rurals need a strong voice.
Tysick is the candidate for the job.

Hanukkah stabbing victim may never walk, talk again; daughter begs to 'stop the hatred'
EMILY SHAPIRO
ABC News January 2, 2020
Hanukkah stabbing victim may never walk, talk again; daughter begs to 'stop the hatred' originally appeared on abcnews.go.com
The daughter of a man critically hurt in a machete attack during Hanukkah is pleading with the public to "stand up and stop this hatred."
Josef Neumann was one of five hurt in the Dec. 28 assault at a rabbi's home in Monsey, New York, where Hasidic Jews had gathered to celebrate Hanukkah.
"He really may never ever speak again," Neumann's youngest daughter, Nicky Kohen, said at a news conference on Thursday.
Neumann, a father of seven, has been unconscious the entire time after the "heinous crime," Kohen said. He turned 72 on Dec. 30 while unconscious, she said.
"The prognosis is not good. He sustained multiple injuries. He has a fractured skull. He's been sliced, like, through his neck. He has a shattered arm," Kohen said. "The doctors do not have high hopes for him. If he wakes up, he may never be able to walk, talk or even process speech again."

Overcome with emotion, Kohen faced the cameras and begged those watching to "please stand up and stop this hatred ... all types of hatred against any race, religion, orientation, anything else."
About 100 people were at the rabbi's home when Grafton Thomas allegedly forced his way inside, swinging an 18-inch machete.

Authorities are now increasing security in the area, including more police patrols, license plate readers, security cameras and a high tech panic button.
"We want to make sure that no place of worship -- a synagogue, a church, a mosque, a Hindu temple, any place, any school -- ever suffer the bloodshed that occurred this past weekend," Town Supervisor Michael Sprecht said Thursday.
Thomas, 38, is charged with attempted murder as well as federal hate crimes.
"You may think you just hurt one lone Hasidic community," Kohen said at the news conference. But she said her father's reach goes beyond their community.
"He's made everybody feel something, important, special," she said. "If my father can do that, I'm begging you all, please, you can do that, too."

Kohen said she hopes her father "wakes to a changed world with peace, unity and love for all."
Rabbi Chaim Rottenberg, who hosted the Hanukkah party where the attack took place, said Thursday through a statement read on his behalf: "We continue to pray for the victims and for a world where mutual respect overtakes hate."
What prompted the attack at Rottenberg's home is still under investigation, Ramapo Police Chief Brad Weidel told reporters on Thursday.
"We want to know why, just like you want to know why," Weidel said. "I hope we can come back with an answer."
At the home of the suspected stabber, investigators recovered journals which had anti-Semitic sentiments including references to Hitler and "Nazi Culture" "on the same page as drawings of a Star of David and a Swastika," according to the federal complaint.

On the day of the machete attack, Thomas' phone was allegedly used to access an article titled, "New York City Increases Police Presence in Jewish Neighborhoods After Possible Anti-Semitic Attacks. Here's What To Know."
On Thomas' phone were searches including "Why did Hitler hate the Jews," according to the complaint.
Defense attorney Michael Sussman said Thomas has "severe psychiatric issues" and a psychological evaluation should be conducted immediately.
Thomas' family said in a statement that he "has no known history of anti-Semitism and was raised in a home which embraced and respected all religions and races."
Thomas has pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder charges. That case will be presented to the Rockland County grand jury on Friday, the district attorney said.

WASHINGTON — The head of the Drug Enforcement Administration spent more than $123,000 to charter a private jet to fly to Bogota, Colombia, last fall instead of taking one of the agency's 106 planes.
Last fiscal year, the DEA's aviation division spent about $76 million. The agency flies its planes for law enforcement operations and drug surveillance throughout the nation and the world, according to the DEA's Web site.
If one of the agency's jets isn't available for official trips, the DEA can borrow one from another federal agency to avoid racking up unnecessary costs to taxpayers. However, Brown said that he didn't consider seeking a loaner plane from another federal agency, although he said he had at least a week to schedule the flight.
Government watchdogs, however, question whether the trip could have been rescheduled or whether Leonhart could've taken a commercial flight.
Steve Ellis, the vice president of the nonprofit group Taxpayers for Common Sense, said that although the flight consumed a small fraction of the DEA's budget, the charter raised a red flag, especially because the agency paid an outside company to arrange it.
A U.S. official in Colombia, however, said that officials there weren't aware of any threat against Leonhart other than the general insecurity in the country due to the drug trade. The official wasn't authorized to speak to journalists and asked to remain anonymous.
L-3, which bills itself as the nation's sixth-largest defense company, has provided mechanical and transportation services to the DEA for more than five years. Last year, the DEA estimated that the services the company provided would amount to $20 million, but it ended up paying $32 million because of unforeseen special operations, Brown said.
Peregrine, which employees 30 people and owns a Gulfstream 450 and a Boeing 737, opened last July. Randy Taylor, the company's general manager, said that his firm wasn't considered a government contractor, but he declined to answer any other questions, saying that the identities of other executives and the background of his company are confidential.
Despite the company's relative inexperience, Brown said that he didn't question the contract because he already was familiar with Peregrine Point. Before the bid, he said, he'd toured the company's hangar, which is next door to the DEA's aviation division at Fort Worth Alliance Airport.
Ellis of Taxpayers for Common Sense said the DEA might have decided to reschedule Leonhart's trip or gone to another federal agency to save money if it hadn't already had a relationship with L-3.

Functions are incredibly useful when we want to repeat the same set of actions on multiple sets of data. The "apply"" set of functions are very useful for running a single function multiple times on input data.
Explaining this output is beyond the scope of this short tutorial, but the coefficient estimates give us the values for a (0.247798) and b (0.933671) in the linear model. The p-value tells us how significant these estimates are. In statistical terms, we are testing the null hypothesis that the coefficient is actually equal to zero (i.e. there is not an association between x and y). The p-value gives the probability of detecting a coefficient at least as large as the one that we calculated in our model given that the null hypothesis is actually true. If this probability is low enough, we can safely reject the null hypothesis and say that this variable is statistically significant. Often a value of 0.05 (5%) is used as the cutoff for rejection of the null hypothesis.

Thoughts on Ukraine at the end 2015
There is 2 years after the "Maidan 2" and a year and a half after the start of the war with Russia. The feel of the changes do not inspire at all, the same officials and politicians and the same scheme of embezzlement of public funds. The ostentatious fight against corruption is more like a theater, not a very good theater with amateur actors, as Stanislavski said - "I do not believe."
The majority of Ukrainians do not believe in the sweet speeches of government officials who tell the stories how good is going to be soon and what great strides we go to Europe. But in reality the most people of Ukraine were greatly impoverished as savings in the national currency depreciated 3 times by a simple triple devaluation of the hryvnia.
It is wonderful how long Ukrainian people can tolerate the situation, but as you know the strongest rebellion turns out when people explode who have been long constrained. Especially if we consider the number of weapons in the hands of the people and all the skills which appeared during Russians and their henchmen bombing Ukrainian soldiers who had resigned later from the army to demobilize. These ex-soldiers know how easily problems are solved with the help of the assault rifle or a machine gun.
The magnitude of these risks is the fact that every day someone is caught by police with a weapon or with arsenal of fire weapon. It has become commonplace about grenade explosion in a residential area or even an apartment in a peaceful cities. And what will happen when people's patience will snap and Maidan number 3 will start? But this time instead of stones can fly hand grenades and machine guns can start to work same as anti-tank grenade launchers. Realizing the situation it is difficult to understand our current governing officials, it looks like they are absolutely fearless and totally inadequate, perhaps greed and easy money deprives people of out of mind.

That last category — claimed most often by parents who believe vaccines are dangerous — is by far the most frequently claimed exemption, according to the state Department of Health.
The personal belief exemption could disappear if an Everett lawmaker's bill succeeds. Democrat Rep. June Robinson introduced the bill to drop the exemption this week.
Gov. Jay Inslee said Friday he supports the measure. So does the Washington State Medical Association.
"We all have an interest in keeping children healthy," Inslee said in a statement. "If everyone gets immunized, our children would be at lower risk of getting these avoidable and serious infections.
New alarms about the unvaccinated, in school or out, stem from a December outbreak of measles traced to visitors to Disneyland. Health officials in Washington urged residents and health care providers to be alert for potential measles cases among people who traveled to Disneyland in late December and early January — and with good reason.
In early January, the state Health Department put out an alert about an unimmunized woman in her 20s who picked up a case of measles while at Disneyland in December.
She flew to Sea-Tac Airport and visited King and Snohomish counties while contagious. She didn't know she had measles until she returned home to California and was diagnosed in early January.
Those who choose not to vaccinate their children argue that vaccines can damage kids. The most persistent argument over the years has been that childhood vaccines cause autism.
That possibility has been heavily researched, and public health authorities say unequivocally that vaccines do not cause autism.
Others believe vaccines might create different health dangers. Still others say government mandates to vaccinate children violate individual liberties.
But public health officials don't mince words.
"This is not a story that has two sides," said Paul Throne, of the state Department of Health's immunization office. "The science is overwhelmingly on the side of vaccinating. People in our state are allowed to opt out if they choose. But there is overwhelming evidence that vaccines save lives.
One reason health officials keep tight tabs on measles is its potential to spread rapidly.
"It's the most contagious disease we know of," said Nigel Turner, director of the Communicable Disease Division for the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department.
Measles viruses are airborne. An infected person can enter and leave a room, and measles germs could still be in the air two hours later, just waiting for another unvaccinated person to breathe them in.
You can catch measles from a contagious person even before they have the tell-tale red measles rash, health officials note.
To the unvaccinated, measles is more contagious than the common cold or flu, Throne said.
Almost every unvaccinated person who comes in contact with the virus will get the disease, Turner said. One person infected with measles can infect several more, who in turn go on to infect even more, spreading the disease exponentially.
The measles vaccine was introduced in the 1960s. Originally just one dose of the vaccine was required, but this was later extended to two.
Before the vaccine was available, plenty of children came down with the disease, and most people who grew up before the vaccine era probably had the disease, officials say.
"People have forgotten how serious this is," said Turner, noting that during the current outbreak, about a quarter of those infected have been hospitalized.
For every thousand measles cases, two or three people will die. Complications from the disease can include diarrhea, which can be especially serious in babies and young children, blindness, deafness, brain inflammation and pneumonia. Measles can trigger premature labor and delivery in pregnant women.
The possible effects from measles are what inspire health authorities to preach the gospel of vaccination. The vaccine is highly effective against measles, they say, and requiring it, as well as other shots, for school entry has been an effective public health strategy.
In addition, there are state vaccination requirements for children in day care or preschool. Because not every child attends such places, health authorities have targeted kindergarten entry as a point to ensure widespread vaccination.
"Kindergarten is our benchmark," Throne said.
By age 5 or 6, when kids enter kindergarten, most of the childhood vaccines have been administered.
After decades of routine immunization, measles was declared eliminated in the United States by 2000. But the disease still is common elsewhere in the world, and imported cases continued to crop up here and there.
On Friday, Clallam County officials released information about a confirmed measles case there.
Pierce County saw its first case of measles since 2006 in June 2014. It was traced to someone in South King County who had visited Micronesia, in the Western Pacific.
One goal of health officials is to ensure isolated cases don't turn into widespread outbreaks.
By August 2014, there had been 592 cases of measles reported for the year in 21 states, including Washington. The surge was attributed largely to U.S. citizens who traveled abroad, caught the disease, brought it home and spread it to others who had no immunity.
State officials keep their eye on kindergarten vaccination rates, which are reported to the Health Department by school districts and private schools throughout the state. They serve as a kind of bellwether for the overall population, since there is no thorough way to track immunization rates among adults.
The state tracks how many Washington students receive vaccination exemptions, from measles or from one of the other required immunizations.
In Thurston County during the 2013-14 school year, 6.3 percent of students in all grades fell under some vaccination exemption, according to the state Health Department. In King County, the rate was 4.8 percent.
Exemption rates were among the highest in counties outside the urban area, including Jefferson County on the Olympic Peninsula at 14.4 percent and rural Ferry County in Eastern Washington, where 22.3 percent had exemptions.
State health officials rely on schools and school districts to report immunization statistics, and errors or misinterpretations can occur, they say. Schools, in turn, rely on parents to turn in immunization forms, most of which must be signed by a health care provider.
People who can demonstrate membership in a religious group that does not believe in medical treatment are exempted from this requirement. State law requires schools to accept children whose parents have vaccination exemptions on file with the school.
Even without exemptions, some students don't get their required shots.
All told, 83.3 percent of kindergartners had paperwork on file last year showing they had received all required vaccines, a rate that worsened slightly from the previous year. National immunization data from 2013 shows 71 percent of Washington children between ages 19 to 35 months had received all of their shots on time.
The share of Washington students with exemptions has leveled off lately but is far below the 7.6 percent seen five years earlier.
State officials aren't sure why, but the rate began falling around the time officials made it slightly less convenient to fill out exemption paperwork, in the 2008-09 school year.
Lawmakers then added further conditions in 2011 when they required a medical provider's signed declaration that the provider had informed a child's parents about the risks and benefits of vaccines.
"I think we're making some progress against the hysteria that was in place and sort of rampant," said Sen. Karen Keiser, a Des Moines Democrat who pushed for the 2011 law.
Keiser's 2011 measure was a bipartisan one, and so is Robinson's current bill, which would eliminate the exemption based on personal or philosophical objections.
Rep. Joe Schmick, R-Colfax, voted against the 2011 bill and said he had concerns about the current proposal.
House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, said concerns over the bill ultimately will come up as the bill progresses, but he said he believes the measure has strong support.
Sen. Randi Becker, a Republican from Eatonville who is chairwoman of the Senate Health Care Committee, said she'd be open to hearing the bill if it passed the House and came to the Senate.
Special Counsel Mueller found evidence that affiliates of the Russian government repeatedly sought the audience and favor of Jared Kushner. But his redacted report shows that Kushner rebuffed most of those overtures.


PSU Bikers are a group of students who live for biking! We are an all inclusive, all-season group of riders consisting of cyclo-crossers, mountain bikers, and road bikers that ride competitively, but also like to host low key casual group rides as well. Most of our funding goes to competition registration fees, travel expenses, and food during the competition seasons.
The left over money we use to purchase gear for our riders like spare parts like chains, tubes, tires, levers, CO2, etc. just in case someone in the group has a mechanical issue. The last thing we want is our riders hitchhiking back to campus because they got a flat and didn't have any spare parts.
Any donation you can give is beneficial to our students and the community! Not only do we compete at a national level, we also host casual group rides for others in the community. This a great opportunity for students to network with like-minded people who are members of the Plymouth community.
We know that biking is an expensive sport, but we hope in the future with the generous donations from our peers that PSU students won't have the financial barriers that keeps them from riding a bike!


Zack Snyder released a new Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice Ultimate Edition poster featuring Wonder Woman and it's absolutely awesome!
The theatrical edition of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was heavily criticized by fans and critics alike. After the poor reception of Batman v Superman, Warner Bros., DC and Zack Snyder decided to release the Ultimate Edition which came with more than 30 minutes of unseen footage. After this 200+ minutes giant was released to the public, the general consensus on the film got a lot better due to the fact that the extra footage filled in a few plot holes that had stricken the theatrical version. The movie is still criticized for moments like the Martha fiasco at the end of the big Batman v Superman fight.
Did you enjoy Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice Ultimate Edition? Or did it not change how you received the movie? Let us know in the comment section below!
Directed by Zack Snyder, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition stars, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter, and Gal Gadot.
Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice Ultimate Edition is now available on Blu-Ray, DVD, and Digital HD.

Mobile phones to be banned in Northern Territory government school classrooms from 2023
Posted Wed 2 Nov 2022 at 2:53am Wednesday 2 Nov 2022 at 2:53am Wed 2 Nov 2022 at 2:53am
Educators say mobile phone use has become a major distraction in the classroom. (ABC South East SA: Kate Hill)
abc.net.au/news/mobile-phones-banned-at-nt-schools-government-policy/101606566
Mobile phones will be banned across Northern Territory government schools in a move intended to curb classroom distractions, bullying and mental health issues among young people.
The change will come into effect from Term 1, 2023
The devices will need to be switched off and put away at secondary schools
Mobile phones will be banned altogether at primary schools
The ban — which follows other statewide policies around Australia — will take place from Term 1 of 2023.
Secondary school students will be required to turn the devices off and put them away during school hours.
They will be banned altogether at primary schools.
"I firmly believe that by banning mobile phones we'll see our students, our young people, engaging socially more, having those interactions at recess and lunchtime instead of spending their whole time on their phone," Education Minister Eva Lawler said.
"For our teachers, it provides them more time to teach the classroom rather than worrying about the disruptions caused by mobile phones."
Exceptions to the rule may be allowed for research or medical purposes.
Eva Lawler says the plan will give educators more time for teaching. (ABC News: Michael Franchi)
The move has been welcomed by educators who say phone use has become a bigger distraction over the past few years, thanks in part to the rise of youth-oriented social media platforms like TikTok.
Is banning mobile phones in schools a good idea?
While banning phones from schools might seem sensible, there are a number of reasons to be cautious.
"A lot of our educators are spending a lot of time unravelling and working on issues that have started off school grounds and in social media," Nick Lovering from Katherine High School said.
"We hope by having a strong policy in our schools we can make sure that learning is the first preference in classrooms and that young people can also have a break and a breathe when they're at school from the constant pressure of their phones."
The NT's previous policy allowed individual schools to decide whether and how to restrict the devices, but Ms Lawler said the new one would provide consistency.
Non-government schools will not be captured by the policy, but the education minister encouraged them to follow the government's lead.

To begin with Easter is preceded by lent of 40 days of fasting, prayer and penance. The last week of Lent is called holy week. It consist of Maundy Thursday and The Last Supper, as well as Good Friday. Christians commemorate Good Friday as the the day Jesus Christ died and Easter Sunday as the day he was resurrected. Easter is Jesus rebirth hence celebrated with joy everywhere!
What are Easter Bunnies Or Easter Eggs? This tradition began long ago. The custom of an Easter egg hunt began because children believed that hares laid eggs in the grass. The Romans believed that "All life comes from an egg." Christians consider eggs to be "the seed of life" and so they are symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Egg Rolling is also a traditional Easter egg game played with eggs at Easter. In the United Kingdom, Germany, and other countries children traditionally rolled eggs down hillsides at Easter. This tradition was taken to the Newworld by European settlers and continues to this day each Easter on the White House lawn.
The oldest tradition is to use dyed or painted chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs, or plastic eggs filled with confectionery such as jelly beans. These eggs can be hidden for children to find on Easter morning, who may be told they were left by the Easter Bunny. They also may be put in a basket filled with real or artificial straw to resemble a bird's nest. For more info click here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_egg, http://homecooking.about.com/od/foodhistory/a/easteregghistry.htm.
Hope this information helps everyone who aren't aware about Easter?
There are many sweet delicacies made during Easter like Marzipans, Easter Eggs Or Bunnies, Easter Wreath, Easter Cake, Chocolates, Baath Cake etc. There are loads of sweets made but again it's different for different countries and region respectively.
I have a few collection of Easter Recipes which I am gonna share with you now.


I woke up with the feeling of dread in my heart.
Oh just because I had a goal to finish the entire Book of Mormon by the end of the year and started over in October, and here we are December 4th and if I'm honest I'm drenched in fear that I'm not going to be able to make that goal.
In fact, I feel so "behind" that I'm struggling to even open my scriptures each day.
From what I know of the Adversary, there is nothing he loves more than me getting caught up in expectation and throwing in the towel. Especially when it comes to my daily walk with God through His Word.
You know what God expects of us?
He wants us to show up, not to pass a test or check off a box, but because HE LOVES US. He wants to open the windows of heaven, pour out all the blessings and all the comfort and all the joy. He wants to bring light into the darkness. He wants to guide us through the fog.
And that happens best when we decide to simply show up with an open heart and palm.
I'm switching my focus from "finishing" anything and instead to simply showing up, every single day.
I do not need the glory of finishing or accomplishing anything. I simply need to glorify Him, by walking in faith & trusting.

Members of the House State Government Committee recently held a public hearing on several bills aimed at updating the state's Right-to-Know Law. Testifiers at the hearing included representatives from the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records, the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association, the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors and Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs. The Right-to-Know Law governs access to public information for each Commonwealth agency, local agency, judicial agency and legislative agency. Lawmakers have made it a priority to work to enhance government openness and transparency in the last decade.
The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) is launching a pilot program to extend state grant benefits to the growing number of students pursuing college degrees online. The pilot program is a step toward modernizing the Pennsylvania State Grant program to better serve the needs of students, as the grant program is currently only available to students who earn 50 percent or less of their college credits online. Under the pilot program, students earning up to 100 percent of their credits online may qualify for grant assistance if they are attending a participating Pennsylvania school and otherwise meet grant program qualifications. Applications from qualified higher education institutions are due by mid-September; PHEAA will then review the grant applications of students who were turned down for state grants because they exceeded the 50 percent threshold for online education. Students who qualify for grant funding under the pilot program will be notified later this fall, likely in November. Students need not take any other action at this time. The five-year pilot program is being funded through PHEAA earnings and will not impact the traditional state grant program.

Q: Node.js async: How to combine multiple iterators with map? I'm new to Node.js. I'm trying to do some asynchronous work using async where I have multiple nested callbacks, and I'd like to combine some of the functions into one if possible. Here is the code:
function getInfo(info, callback) { /*...*/ }
function pushInfos(infos, callback) { /*...*/ }

function upload(release, callback) {
    async.map(release.files, getInfo, function(err, infos) {
        if (err)
            return callback(err);
        pushInfos(infos, function(error) {
            if (error)
                return callback(error);
            // do some more work...
        });
    });
}

I'm wondering if there is a way to combine the getInfo and pushInfo functions so that I only need one nested callback. Something like this:
function upload(release, callback) {
    async.xxxx(release.files, [ // What goes here?
        getInfo,
        pushInfos
    ],
    function(error) {
        // do some more work...
    }
}

Does such an API exist or do I have to deal with the extra code? I tried looking at the documentation on GitHub but I don't have much experience in asynchronous programming, so it's a bit over my head.

A: Well, after a bit of playing around and reading the documentation, here is what my code looks like now:
function upload(release, callback) {
    async.waterfall([
        async.apply(async.map, release.files, getInfo),
        pushInfos,
        function(next) {
            // do some work...
        }
    ], callback);
}

A: Welcome, my friend, to callback hell!
If you're writing async code, I would advise you to take a look at Promises instead of callbacks.
But if you want to write your code with callbacks and async, the best you can do is something like this:
function getInfo(info, callback) { /*...*/ }
function pushInfos(infos, callback) { /*...*/ }

function upload(release, callback) {
    async.map(release.files, function(file, callback) {
        async.waterfall([
            async.apply(getInfo, file),
            pushInfos
        ], callback);
    }, function(err, infos) {
        if (err)
            return callback(err);
        // do some more work...
    });
}

EDIT
This answer actually behaves different than the question code, I misunderstand the question and wrote it wrong. James' answer behaves the same as the question code.

Google now offers free Wi-Fi in 400 train stations in India
Google announced its joint project with Indian Railways and RailTel to bring public Wi-Fi to India's train stations. The initiative began back in 2015, and now 400 train stops have free access to the internet. Caesar Sengupta, Google VP and Head of the Next Billion Users Team, said in a press release that the service is used by 8 million users monthly. The milestone was published along with a video of a mother that uses the free Wi-Fi to provide better educational materials for her son. According to Sengupta, she is just one of the people that consume 350 MB of data per session

Today I visited the Villa Alba Museum in Kew Melbourne. Such a gracious old building now undergoing repairs. One of the great features is the fact that many of the walls had large paintings on them, painted directly on the wall. Unfortunately at some stage an owner of the building painted over all of them. Now restoration is underway a painstaking process as the old paint has to be carefully removed so as to preserve the old works underneath. This work along with restoration of the structure from cracks etc means that it will be some time before the building is back to its old glory.
So if you are in Melbourne on the first Sunday of a month then take the time to visit and see what it has to offer. In the mean time here are a few photographs from the day.

Michelle Pfeiffer is the latest actress to speak out against the film industry's rampant sexual harassment problem.
In a recent interview with BBC, the Murder on the Orient Express star revealed that although she's never worked with Harvey Weinstein, every woman she's talked to has experienced some form of abuse at the hands of Hollywood's power brokers.
And she hopes this break in silence will lead to change for future generations. 'There's a lot of reflection going on with men and women,' the actress said.
Catch Pfeiffer in Murder on the Orient Express in theatres from November 10th.
