Both were taken to Sunnybrook Hospital. Surveillance video obtained by the Star from Louro and Sons Jewellers, a business across the street from the apartment building, appears to show the incident on the top of the video’s frame. In the video, a black vehicle pulls up to a driveway, followed by a grey Jeep. A person is seen walking from the right, past the Jeep and toward the black vehicle, before moving back toward the Jeep and disappearing from view. A different person appears to then emerge from the black vehicle before it drives away. The person walks toward the right before appearing to turn around to the place where the first person was seen in front of the Jeep. While in front of the Jeep, the person appears to crouch down and a few seconds later, the driver of the Jeep runs over them before stopping. Immediately after the incident, a small dog can be seen running from the right, away from the driveway and along a sidewalk. At the end of the video, the driver of the Jeep can be seen getting out of the vehicle.  Surveillance footage from a Yorkville jewelry business shows two pedestrians appearing to be struck by a driver at an apartment building driveway. Two women had been trying to retrieve the dog from in front of the stopped Jeep when the driver moved forward and ran over both of them, police confirmed.  Officers did not say if the dog was also injured.  “It’s absolutely tragic to see that they’re two people who essentially got ran over,” said Louis Louro Jr., owner of Louro and Sons Jewellers. “The circumstances are tragic and it appears the dog is part of the whole issue. I just hope they pull through.”  Louro said he and his staff were working in their shop when the collision happened but “didn’t pay attention until the police came in.”  “It’s kind of stomach-wrenching,” he said of the video, adding that “it really leaves a horrible feeling.”  Southbound Avenue Road was closed south of Tranby Avenue but has reopened, police said. A story in Sunday’s paper about two women run over by a driver in Yorkville included incorrect details of how the incident unfolded, including that the dog and the second woman involved had exited a car before being struck.

The workshop’s new production line for surface treatment, installed this year, includes dedicated sections for washing, sandblasting, painting, and drying, allowing efficient processing of large components. The new facility and its capabilities build on Aker Solutions’ proud heritage in hydropower. The workshop also has dedicated welding areas for stainless and carbon steel, supporting large components like turbine runners and valves. With both robotic and manual welding, Aker Solutions is well-equipped to deliver large-scale precision and quality. The new hydropower center reflects Aker Solutions' commitment to sustainable practices, including reusing existing steel components from hydropower plants, which reduces CO₂ emissions compared to new materials. The expanded facility will be fully operational from November 2024, bolstering local production and further supporting Norway’s and Aker Solutions' efforts in advancing the energy transition. Aker Solutions’ is launching Northern Europe’s largest vertical millturn machine for hydropower components and state-of-the-art full-service workshop at the Tranby Technology Centre in Norway on November 14. This expansion enhances Aker Solutions’ hydropower capabilities, reinforcing our commitment to supporting Norway’s renewable energy transition. Volume 2 - 2021 | https://doi.org/10.3389/froh.2021.732882 Studies have shown that mental health and oral health may be correlated with associations demonstrated between mental health problems and tooth loss The COVID-19 pandemic had alarming implications for individuals' and communities' mental and emotional health This study examined the associations between mental health status and oral healthcare utilization and highlighted the impact of COVID-19 on mental health this study examines specific sociodemographic factors that may amplify oral health disparities A nationally representative survey was conducted to capture attitudes Eighteen percent of respondents were categorized as having poor mental health Visiting the dentist in the last year was more common amongst individuals with good mental health and last dental visit were all significantly associated with of oral health status and income groups were all significantly associated with unmet oral health need Future work should focus on the mental-oral health association including determining ways to improve oral healthcare utilization and oral health status among people with poorer mental health Individuals with mental illnesses are more likely than those without to have suboptimal oral health [1]. Although the nature of this relationship has not been extensively evaluated, a few studies have shown a relationship between oral health and mental health, or vice versa [2–4] This study aimed to identify the associations between mental health and oral healthcare utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as specific sociodemographic factors that may amplify disparities A nationally representative cross-sectional survey (n = 5,320) was conducted in January and February 2021 to assess consumer attitudes This study was deemed exempt by the WCG IRB The survey called the State of Oral Health Equity in America 2021 contained items related to oral health knowledge The survey included ~150 questions The questions were developed by an internal team at the CareQuest Institute comprised of knowledge experts on payer and patients' experiences with oral health The survey was administered to adults 18 years and older by the non-partisan research organization National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago AmeriSpeak is a probability-based panel designed to be representative of the U.S households were sampled using area probability and address-based sampling non-zero probability of selection from the NORC National Sample Frame The survey was internally piloted at CareQuest Institute as well as initially piloted by NORC on a sample size of 500 A sampling unit of 16,986 was used with a final sample size or weight sample was 5,320 with a final weighted cumulative response rate of 5.2% All data presented account for appropriate sample weights This sample size was decided in collaboration with NORC in order to obtain a margin of error of under 2 while having sufficient sub-sample sizes The margin of error for this survey is 1.86% Self-rated mental health items asked that participants be asked to rate their mental health as excellent Self-rated oral health status (dependent variable) asked participants to rate their oral health status as either excellent Unmet oral health needs (dependent variable) were a dichotomized variable and asked if the participant had unmet needs (yes/no) The information on unmet needs was collected by asking the respondents “have you had an unmet oral health need in the last year?” The survey also collected information on several independent variables Other oral health-related questions included the last visit to the dentist and if the participants had dental insurance Descriptive statistics were conducted to summarize the percent and frequencies for the independent variables Data are presented by unweighted frequencies and weighted percentages Bivariate analyses were run to examine relationships between self-rated mental health status and oral health status and unmet need by age group Multivariable logistic regression models were used for each outcome of interest including a respondent's self-rated oral health status and having unmet oral health needs Covariables included self-rated mental health All variables of interest were included in the model and those with p-values of < 0.05 were considered significant Appropriate weights were applied to all analyses Additional analyses included examining COVID-19 effects on life changes and mental health and oral health care utilization COVID-19 life changes were examined by asking if individual events had occurred for a respondent within the last year and cross-tabulated with the dichotomized mental health self-assessment variable Table 1 describes the mental health status of the entire sample Those with poor mental health were disproportionately affected by life changes since the COVID-19 pandemic began About 16% of respondents with poor mental health had lost their job compared to 11% with good mental health (p = 0.0007) Those with poor mental health were also 5% more likely to be worried about losing their current job (p = 0.0016) those with poor mental health were twice (14.5 vs p < 0.0001) as likely to have missed a mortgage payment Since the pandemic began 5% of the respondents will poor mental health more likely to have been threatened with eviction or foreclosure (2 vs Mental health and COVID from the State of Oral Health Equity Survey 2021 (n = 5,296) Table 1 also provides the description of the overall sample is provided Eighteen percent of respondents rated their mental health as poor Females were 4% more likely to rate their mental health as poor compared to men (20 vs About 35% of respondents age 18–29 years reported poor mental while only 17% reported good mental health Those who had poor mental health were over three times more likely to rate their oral health as poor compared to those with good mental health (18 vs Those who had poor mental health were less likely to be insured compared to those who reported good mental health (88 vs Sixty-nine percent of respondents with poor mental health reported having one or more unmet oral health needs compared to 53% of those with good mental health reporting the same (p < 0.0001) Of those who had an unmet oral health need those with self-rated good mental health were much more likely to seek care Forty-five percent of respondents with good mental health said they visited the dentist to address their symptoms; 2% said they went to the emergency department (E.D.) and 53% said they did nothing Only 31% of respondents with poor mental health went to a dentist to address their symptoms; 3% went to the E.D. Table 2 provides the results of the logistic regression model oral health status Respondents with self-rated good mental health had low odds of rating their oral health as “poor” (OR = 0.22; 95% CI = 0.18 Respondents aged 45–59 years had high odds of rating their oral health as 'poor' (OR = 1.20 95% CI = 1.0 Respondents who self -reported belonging to more than two races were more likely to rate their oral health as poor (OR = 1.33 95% CI = 0.91 Association between Oral Health Status and Mental Health from the State of Oral Health Equity in America survey 2021 The odds of respondents rating their oral health as “poor” decreased with increased levels of education (H.S 1.20; Vocational/tech school/some college/associates OR = 0.88 1.02; Postgrad study/professional degree OR = 0.59 respondents who had an income of over $30,000 had lower odds of rating their oral health as “poor” and as the income increased the odds decreased ($30,000 to under $60,000 OR = 0.69; $100,000 or more OR = 0.55) Respondents who had visited the dentist in the last 6 months (OR = 0.65 1.31) and between 6 months and a year (OR = 0.97 1.99) had lower odds of rating their oral health as “poor.” Table 3 provides the results of the logistic regression model for unmet oral health needs Respondents with self-rated good mental health had low odds of having an unmet oral health need (OR = 0.55 Those in the highest two income groups ($60,000 to under $100,000 0.97) had low odds of having an unmet oral health need Respondents aged 30–44 years (OR = 1.27 95% CI = 1.05 1.53) and 45–59 years (OR = 1.35 95% CI = 1.11 1.65) had high odds of rating their oral health as “poor.” Association between Unmet Oral Health Needs and Mental Health from the State of Oral Health Equity in America survey 2021 This is the first study to evaluate the relationship between oral health and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic and contributes to a larger but still underdeveloped body of literature on the association between oral and mental health Our survey of a representative sample of U.S households found that about 20% of respondents reported poor mental health aged 18–25 years) and 43% of females reported poor mental health Respondents with low income and less education also reported poor mental health Respondents who reported poor mental health were more likely to be facing financial and emotional hardships and were more likely to have had COVID-19 Given that our data were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic we used a probability-based panel and our results were consistent with national data our results are reliable to make national level conclusions The results of the survey are based on a cross-sectional survey and all data were self-reported by the participants Though there are numerous self-report instruments validated for the assessment of specific mental health problems the time and space limitations of the overall survey design limited the number of mental health-related items that could be included only a single item assessing general mental health was used We plan to collect similar data in 2022 to keep the research continuum and work toward better understanding the relationship between mental and oral health over time Future studies will utilize more specific validated measures because the mental health variable lacked specificity (as it did not provide diagnostic-level information) this study offers a significant contribution to the literature highlighting the association between oral health status and poor mental health at the population level Further research is necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying these associations and develop models of care that will promote oral health utilization by individuals with mental health problems The datasets presented in this article are not readily available because the raw dataset for this study is the property of the CareQuest Institute for Oral Health.

Joel Tranby, of Bend, Oregon, died “doing something he loved, with the person he loved,” his mother said A $4.75-million investment to revamp Tranby Park and Tranby Avenue is among the first of many steps completed under the city’s long-term $5-billion sewer master plan designed to make a difference in Windsor’s longstanding basement flooding woes has been at ground zero for flooding issues for thousands of area residents over the years through contributing to an overabundance of runoff water into the sewer system during major rain events Subscribe now to read the latest news in your city and across Canada Create an account or sign in to continue with your reading experience Recently completed improvements to the park and Tranby Avenue — which include a dry pond state-of-the-art water storage facilities under the parking lot and under the road roadside ditches filled in and improved drainage for the park’s baseball diamonds are each anticipated to make a difference for area homeowners during heavy storms “Tranby is one the areas that was the hardest hit in terms of basement flooding during the major events that we had,” said Mayor Drew Dilkens “The (master) plan we put forward identified a number of projects to improve the resiliency of the sewer system This is one the initial projects we have undertaken that will make a difference.” Technology used towards improvements in the park and its parking lot are designed to retain water instead of creating runoff into the sewer system They include underground storage tanks and “permeable pavers” in the parking lot so the water stays in the ground and not roll into the sewer system It is something we plan on doing with a lot of our parking lots.” Many of the improvements under the Tranby project have been tagged as the first of their kind in Windsor and so far “have worked as designed,” said Mark Winterton “The reality is a lot of this (at Tranby) is something we have never done before,” Winterton said “There was some healthy skepticism because it’s basically all clay in the area But we did some geotechnical work and there is a certain rate of infiltration into the soil You are reducing the water going into the system.” He emphasized repeatedly how improvements to the Riverside area through the Tranby project — and elsewhere in future sewer-related projects — will each individually provide “incremental” benefits to homeowners upon completion and not to be regarded as a complete fix “We have $4.9 billion of work to do over 50 years under the sewer master plan so each project will create a benefit a little bit at a time,” Winterton said but a functional part of our stormwater management.” Funding for the Tranby project was paid for out of the federal government’s Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation fund a $32-million grant over 10 years for flood protection initiatives in Windsor “The federal government is proud to work closely with the city of Windsor to modernize our infrastructure and help protect local neighbourhoods from flooding,” said local MP Irek Kusmierczyk (L—Windsor-Tecumseh) “This flood mitigation project at Tranby Park will go a long way in ensuring residences and businesses in east Windsor can withstand extreme weather events.” transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

Tranby’s deck was built fifteen years ago, and has held up well, until the high winds and damaging rain from last week’s storm caused the wood of the deck to break off from the house. The deck is slowly sinking and tilting off to the side, and if it fully falls, it could take the siding of the house with it. It’s a safety concern, “I even get scared to put my dogs out there,” Tranby said. Tranby had enough, and called the Whistleblower hotline, and we called the contractor.

Hundreds of University of Delaware students rallied Friday afternoon, calling for transparency in the school's harassment policy following accusations that a professor offered a student an "A" in exchange for sexual favors. The gathering, which was attended by more than 300 students and teachers, started at Memorial Hall. Most of the event's attendants sat on the building steps facing the Green, while others stood or sat near the building. "End the silence. End the shame," UD students and faculty chanted as the event started. The chants, however, silenced as one of the organizers, Sage Carson, spoke up and began asking for people to give their stories on sexual harassment and assaults. For more than 90 minutes, student after student stood and spoke out about incidents that they had endured. They also urged for changes in the school's policy. "We have the power to change it," said Harry Lewis, a UD freshman who spoke before the crowd Friday. Lewis of Morristown, New Jersey, told of an attack he survived in high school. He asked for more transparency in the school's sexual harassment policy. "This really will hopefully show the university that we care a lot about this and that even if they want to sweep it under the rug that's not going to be that easy," Lewis said. Another woman got up and said that after filing an informal complaint about a teacher who made advances towards her, including kissing her, she was inspired now to file a formal complaint. "Hopefully the university will do something about it," she said. The school declined to comment on specifics of the issue that sparked Friday's event. But a letter published Thursday by University Provost Domenico Grasso came closest to explaining the incident in response to a story in the student newspaper, The Review. "It is important for the University community to know that this matter was handled promptly and appropriately, with the sensitivity and clear communication with the student and her advocate and in accordance with all university policies and the requirements of federal law." The matter began when Eric Tranby, a professor in the sociology department, was accused by a student in May of offering her a top grade in exchange for sexual favors. UD Vice Provost of Faculty Affairs Matthew J. Kinservick said Friday that the professor was on administrative leave and Tranby's resignation would formally come at the end of the academic year. "He will not be back to campus," Kinservick said. "I can't talk about the reasons for that." The school would not say if Tranby was being paid during his administrative leave. Andrea Boyle Tippett declined to comment on the accusations. Tranby could not be reached for comment Friday; a phone number in his name was disconnected. The student, who graduated last year, said there was no transparency in the school's policy, adding that after she filed her complaint she did not know what had happened to Tranby until reading about it in The Review's article. "They still haven't told me anything," she told The News Journal. The woman, who is not being identified by this newspaper, said she was surprised by the turnout, saying she'd thought maybe 50 people would go out and only because a professor told them to go for a grade. "But I think those people wanted to be there," she said. She hoped the rally put pressure on UD to make some changes in their policies concerning these matters. The rally ended with a march to the home of UD's President Patrick T. Harker. He did not come out as several participants chanted for a brief time. UD sophomore Matthew Scott, another of the organizers, said they were happy with the turnout and hoped the university hears and deals with student complaints that have so far gone unheeded. "We're here to state to the administration that something needs to be done," he said. "That we need change." The school has a policy against sexual and other unlawful harassment, including "a demand for sexual favors accompanied by implied threats about the person's employment or academic status, or implied promises of preferential treatment." UD officials said they were proud their students held the rally and wanted their voices to be heard. "The University of Delaware is proud of its students for organizing this event to talk about a very important topic facing all colleges and universities today," Boyle Tippett said in a statement. "Student safety is among our top priorities, and we take this issue very seriously. We welcome the input of our students and look forward to learning what they have to say." Also present at the rally was sociology professor Chrysanthi Leon, who the student turned to last year. Leon, who teaches about these matters, became the former student's advocate and also called for more transparency and to let people know what's going on and prevent it from continuing. Leon also applauded Friday's rally, saying that students needed to speak up if there were to be any changes. "The bigger issue is not resolved," Leon said. "The bigger issue is how can we change our policies and make it clear that we need to do things that indicate that we won't accept sexual coercion of students by professors, that we won't accept any other kind of sexual violence."

A $2-million pilot project in soggy Tranby Park will test whether a new engineering approach to managing stormwater runoff can help prevent the types of basement flooding events Windsor has experienced when rainwater overwhelms neighbourhood storm sewers “I’m looking forward to it for a number of reasons primarily because it’s going to help those residents who’ve been flooded time and again,” said Ward 6 Coun Heavy rainstorm runoff from the park into storm sewers “absolutely” played a role in catastrophic basement flooding in in Riverside neighbourhoods in 2016 and 2017 The Tranby project will be the first time “low-impact development” is tried by the City of Windsor The idea is to hold rainwater and then let it percolate into the ground rather than have it rush into the stormwater system “No more plastering over with hardtop and hoping the runoff can go somewhere,” Gignac said “It’s going to make a huge difference in terms of surges that will go into a retaining area rather than those sewers serving all those residential streets.” A low-impact development approach to land planning and engineering design is “part of the equation,” said city engineer Mark Winterton “There isn’t necessarily a solve but it’s part of the strategy to reduce basement flooding.” Winterton said LID is being used elsewhere but this is the first time for Windsor where some experts remain skeptical that it will work in the city’s heavy clay soil “The idea is (rainwater) percolates into the ground,” he said “But will it percolate into the ground with all the hard clay we have in the City of Windsor LID involves storing and then gradually releasing water “The classic engineering design is you want to get the water to the sewer as fast as possible,” Winterton said “We’re almost going to the opposite of that We want to delay the water getting to the system as long as possible and infiltrate as much of that water into the groundwater system — just into the ground.” ground zero when it comes to the damage done by the massive rainstorms in 2016 and 2017 The city has since begun implementing a sewer master plan with an $85-million disaster mitigation and adaptation fund announced in April — Ottawa is kicking in $32 million — to cover projects in Riverside and East Riverside over the next 10 years The Tranby project is the new fund’s first project The city will soon be seeking bids from contractors and hopes the work will start before the end of the year It will involve building a new parking lot using special water-permeable pavers instead of asphalt and a stormwater pond or other remedy at the east end of the park to help with drainage that currently ends up in storm sewers servicing such streets as Tranby Edward and Parkview avenues as well as Coventry Court The conventional engineering for a big parking lot like the one in Tranby Park would involve asphalt paving with everything graded so water drains into catch basins then bigger sewers and then into the municipal sewers all that water from the park rushes into the neighbourhood storm sewers you don’t put sewers under the parking lot the water goes through these permeable pavers into a granular base that has the capacity to hold water and allow it to gradually release into the soil beneath The exact design for the park is still being finalized The method of water retention could be an underground tank with small outlets allowing the water to gradually seep out or it could be a naturalized pond or a field designed to hold rainwater during wet periods and serve as a playing field in dry times “The reason it’s a test is we have hard clay in the City of Windsor everywhere except in the far west side of the city,” said Winterton Tranby Park has ongoing problems with drainage it was so waterlogged following weeks of heavy rains that parks crews were unable to use their grass-cutting tractors the grass went uncut for weeks and grew to waist height Gignac is optimistic there are LID methods that can work in Riverside’s heavy clay soil and that Tranby will serve as a blueprint for the rest of the city She’s looking forward to more disaster fund projects coming forward to large ones like improvements to Riverside pumping stations and sewer trunk lines She’s also talked to city officials about incorporating LID into a small subdivision being developed

Founded in 1957, its graduates include Eddie Mabo, who went on to win the most significant land rights legal battle in Australian history – overturning the fiction of terra nullius What makes Tranby special is not just being Australia’s oldest not-for-profit independent Indigenous education provider It is the type of education it provides – teaching the skills needed to manage organisations and communities democratically and the skills to run co-operative organisations This makes it a rarity in business education Though co-operatives exist throughout Australian society making a hugely valuable economic contribution their distinctive nature and management requirements are largely ignored by university business schools Australia has a rich history of communities forming co-operatives to provide services where for-profit businesses or the state have been unwilling or unable The first co-operative in Australia is thought to be the Brisbane Co-operative Society, which set up a store in 1859 Over the next century came many agricultural co-ops. In the 1950s and 1960s, co-workers and communities pooled funds to form building societies and credit unions when banks were unwilling to lend money More recently regional communities have established co-operatives to replace shuttered businesses, to spearhead renewable energy and manufacturing projects, and to provide better conditions for cleaners and care workers Co-ops range in size from small neighbourhood operations, such the Gymea community preschool in Sydney to major enterprises such as Cooperative Bulk Handling in Western Australia, which reported a $133 million surplus in 2021 All up there are more than 1,700 in Australia. It’s possible you’re a member of one – or a closely aligned “mutual” organisation (such as the NRMA or RACV). About eight in ten Australians are This general lack of recognition is reflected by the sector’s almost complete invisibility in educational courses In 2016 a Senate committee inquiry found neglect of co-operative and mutual businesses in high-school and university courses was a clear impediment for the sector This effectively involved privatising these organisations for the benefit of existing members who got windfall profits at the expense of future members Demutualisation was pushed by managers and consultants educated in business, but not in the distinctive values of co-operative business They often regarded the co-operative and mutual structure as less competitive than an investor-shareholder model focused on maximising profits Subsequent developments have proven how flawed these assumptions were. AMP featured heavily among the wrongdoings exposed by the Hayne royal commission into financial services The Senate inquiry report recommended the federal government look to improve understanding of co-operatives and mutual through secondary school curriculum It also recommended universities include topics on co-operatives in their business and law programs In 2017 the University of Newcastle established Australia’s first postgraduate program in co-operative management and organisation But it axed the program in 2020 due to pandemic-related cutbacks and insufficient student numbers Now, apart from the University of Sydney’s Co-operatives Research Group and the University of Western Australia’s Co-operative Enterprise Research Unit What’s needed are both specialist courses and recognition within general business or law courses You’d be hard placed to find a business degree that gives co-operatives more than fleeting attention The focus instead is on individual entrepreneurship investor-owned businesses and vague ideas of social business The 2016 Senate inquiry report noted co-operatives have an important economic role to play They increase competition in highly concentrated markets (such as banking) They provide services in areas where investor-owned or state enterprises do not work It singled out Tranby College as an excellent example of what can be achieved – both for members and the broader community: Evidence suggests the co-operative model is ideal in delivering services in remote areas where issues can be complex and service provision through the private sector is often not suitable or available As former United Nations secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said co-operatives show “it is possible to pursue both economic viability and social responsibility” It is important students at all levels be aware of what makes co-operative businesses different and valuable Hopefully the Albanese government will not neglect them They have a lot to offer communities and reinforce democratic values The family of 8 consists of 6 musicians -- and it's their first joint performance BEND, Ore.

Principal Clayton Massey labelled his response as “entirely precautionary” and said “placing student and community wellbeing as our utmost priority”. “Both he and one of his children have both now fallen ill with flu-like symptoms. The entire family is now in self-imposed isolation pending test results which are expected early next week,” he said. “I am now giving direction that anyone with the above symptoms self-isolates and does not attend the College until they have attended a testing clinic and returned a negative test for the virus,” “WA Health Department guidelines state that if a student or employee does have COVID-19 symptoms and has had possible exposure to the virus, they should not attend school or work until they have medical confirmation that they do not have the virus. Accordingly, this is our direct advice to all Tranby College families, effective immediately.” Camera IconThe letter sent out by Tranby College Principal Clayton Massey. Photo: Supplied.

Just as the Health Department is not identifying confirmed cases, we are not providing the year groups of students who are self-isolating.” On Monday, a ban on overseas travel by WA public, private and Catholic schools was extended to include the United States and Canada. Previously, the ban - which was announced a week ago - excluded the US, Canada and New Zealand but Education Minister Sue Ellery said the spread of COVID-19 had prompted the change. New Zealand is now the only country where international travel by WA school groups will be considered. The first person-to-person transmission of coronavirus in WA was confirmed on Monday, with two further people, a man in his 40s and woman in her 60s, testing positive for the illness on Monday. The man contracted the illness from his mother who travelled to Perth from Jakarta. The woman had stayed in Perth for six days before travelling on to Melbourne. The woman tested positive after her husband, who is awaiting his own test results, returned from a trip to Iran. Tomorrow, WA’s first dedicated coronavirus testing clinics are tipped to open at Fiona Stanley, Sir Charles Gairdner and Royal Perth Hospital. \"our\") of the service provided by this web site (\"Service\") are not responsible for any user-generated content and accounts Content submitted express the views of their author only This Service is only available to users who are at least {age} years old you represent that you are this age or older or otherwise make available to the Service (\"Content\") may be reviewed by staff members All Content you submit or upload may be sent to third-party verification services (including Do not submit any Content that you consider to be private or confidential You agree to not use the Service to submit or link to any Content which is defamatory You are entirely responsible for the content of We may remove or modify any Content submitted at any time Requests for Content to be removed or modified will be undertaken only at our discretion We may terminate your access to all or any part of the Service at any time or re-publish your Content in connection with the Service These terms may be changed at any time without notice If you do not agree with these terms, please do not register or use the Service.

2021 Sierra Communities filed a Zoning By-law Amendment application with the City of Toronto for an Annex property that involves the construction of a 9-storey mixed-use condominium and the partial conservation of the street-facing elevations of the existing building at 110-112 Avenue Road Looking northwest; the site has a frontage of 26m and a depth of 48m The site is located on the west side of the Avenue Road corridor generally between Bloor Street West and Davenport Road a two-storey commercial building to the north and low-rise residential properties along Tranby Avenue to the west The 1,400m² site is a lot assembly of four municipally addressed properties known as 110-112 (semi-detached 2.5-storey mixed-use brick building built 1890) These four properties are designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act as part of the East Annex Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Context map indicating the site and heights of neighbouring buildings Looking west across Avenue Road to the existing conditions Designed by Richard Wengle Architect the proposed development comprises a 9-storey mixed-use building with a gross floor area of 5,124m² The primary street-facing elevations of the existing brick house building at 110-112 Avenue Road would be partially conserved in situ with the future massing of the new building integrated above and to the rear of this existing building the ground floor consists of two retail units (215 m²) to animate the public realm and a discreet entrance lobby to the residential units above The balance of the ground floor is comprised of back-of-house activities including bicycle storage The building’s massing is generally contained within an angular plane taken at the shallow-lot standard and at a height that reflects the height regulations relative to the site The proposed transition to Tranby Avenue also includes two at-grade townhouse units – flanking the vehicular entrance – forming a uniform and consistent street wall adjacent to Tranby Avenue contains the primary vehicular site access and walk-up entrances to the two townhouse units along with a pedestrian walkway through the rear of the site A single level underground garage will accommodate 64 vehicles with a multi-level parking stacker to be accessed through a vehicle turn table and elevator system The 44 dwelling units are broken down in the following mix: 13 one-bedroom (30%) 18 three-bedroom (41%) and 2 townhouse (5) units The amenity space is divided into 119 m² of indoor amenity space located on the 3rd floor and an 87 m² outdoor terrace above the 9th According to the Heritage Impact Assessment by heritage consultants ERA Architects “the proposed development is not anticipated to have any negative impacts on the cultural heritage value of 110-112 Avenue Road nor the adjacent properties in the East Annex HCD.” Any potential "negative impacts will be mitigated through implementing design strategies which include: stepping back new construction from the retained elevations stepping down new construction at the rear providing a three-storey streetwall and townhouse built-form along Tranby Avenue and using a predominantly brick material (and precast limestone) palette."

He liked to assist, help, promote and encourage other people and never to take the limelight. Cook brought his knowledge of Aboriginal and migrant communities together with these new BLF methods when he became the organiser for Aboriginal BLs on the Redfern Housing Company, and worked with the National Black Theatre in Redfern, before becoming involved in Tranby​ Aboriginal Adult Education Cooperative College in 1975. He believed cooperatives were useful for Aboriginal communities, but went further. Cook used his many contacts and his enthusiasm to draw in young activists. One was Brian Doolan, a teacher working in the Wilcannia community who became Tranby's​ first Director of Studies. There were Indigenous educators like Terry Widders​ and Lynette Riley, unionists and academics. At first it was mostly unpaid until, after lots of submission writing, support flowed from the new Federal Aboriginal Education structures. Cook was taking an active role in NSW political life, becoming involved in the Labor Party's Aboriginal Affairs Policy Committee, with Bob Bellear​, Rod Pickette​ and Meredith Burgmann​. At the same time, Kevin was building his Trade Union networks, setting up the Trade Union Committee on Aboriginal Rights (TUCAR) at Tranby​ to strengthen communication between unions and Indigenous organisations. But Cook's priority was education in the community. Despite struggling with funding, Tranby​ started courses in communities – with many in the bush. The funding mainstays were unions like the MUA, individual donations and the backing of the Australian Council of Churches. Linked with the courses running at the college and those in communities, he built links with campaigners on issues such as Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and the Stolen Generations. Through this time, Tranby​ offered support for communities struggling with the new policy's demands by running new courses in rural areas to build skills in accounting, legal and management skills. National Land Rights laws were promised in the early 1980s and a unified national Aboriginal response was needed. His view was that these were issues of social justice. "We needed to take it out of this narrow focus of 'these are issues for Aboriginal people and Aboriginal people need to be the ones that fight it'. These issues do restrict and oppress indigenous peoples. But we needed to involve a much larger portion of the community to achieve what needed to be achieved, because it was a thing for all of us. It wasn't just a thing for black fellas. It was for all Australians." In the last years of his life, bed-bound and using an oxygen mask, Cook remained more active than most healthy people. Young Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal researchers would often drop in to visit him. And he stayed closely in touch by phone with activists from across the country. It was why people who might not work with each other elsewhere, would find they could come together within his framework and why, as Terry O'Shane joked, before people met him, "They thought he was 10 foot high and bullet-proof!" Cook was not someone who came to believe that everyone was equal. It'd just never occurred to him that it would be any other way. Kevin Cook is survived by his brother Ronnie, sister Joy, cousin Kathy and by his children Suzie and Mereki and first wife, Margaret. In the early 1980s he entered a life-long partnership with Judy Chester, sharing her life and her children: Peter, Jody and Janette, and five grandchildren.
