Hawaiʻi's Food Security Can Take Root In Our Own Neighborhoods - Honolulu Civil Beat

York police have charged a Vaughan man in connection to a fatal hit-and-run that killed a 60-year-old woman earlier this month. The woman, who police say was a live-in caregiver on her way to work, exited a bus at Pine Valley Drive and Major Mackenzie around 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 4. She was walking northbound along the narrow shoulder of Pine Valley when she was struck by the driver of a vehicle that was also travelling northbound.

Two young men were arrested early Monday morning after allegedly driving a stolen vehicle into a police cruiser while attempting to escape officers in Brossard. The incident began at approximately 4:10 a.m., when a citizen called 911 to report a vehicle theft in progress outside a residence on Mountainview Boulevard, in the Saint-Hubert sector.

Most of composer Carlos Simon’s music is rooted in stories. To name a few, there’s the shattering “Requiem for the Enslaved,” which pays posthumous homage to the over 200 men, women, and children sold by Georgetown University in 1838, the ecstatic, gospel-infused “Good News Mass,” and two upcoming opera commissions — one from our very own Boston Lyric Opera, and one from the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. His “Double Concerto Suite,” co-commissioned by the BSO and given its first local performance on Thursday night under the baton of music director Andris Nelsons, is allegedly his first work without any external narrative or programmatic material whatsoever. “I encourage you to come up with your own narrative,” the orchestra’s composer chair told the audience. The five-movement piece took some inspiration from Baroque partitas and dance suites such as J. S. Bach’s for solo violin and cello, which are respectively repertoire cornerstones of the intended soloists for Simon’s suite: violinist Hilary Hahn and cellist Seth Parker Woods. The two approached Simon’s piece with the same no-frills elegance they give to solo Bach.
