WESTMINSTER — Steve Cartwright was a great friend to everyone - he was such an easy person to like and to be friends with. When we happened to be together, he was fun; he always had great stories to tell and a very good wit about him. He and my husband got along very well, and we did a lot of laughing together.
It's hard to believe Steve has gone on to another adventure. He loved his daughter so much. I'm sorry for Hayley, who has to go on without him.
He will be missed by so many.

We do have a couple of chances at rain, and although it's a low chance, we could enjoy a longer-duration rainfall this coming Sunday and Monday, if we're lucky. For Wednesday, we find ourselves in atmospheric transition. A southwesterly flow will...
Thank you very much, MacLean Gander. I am deeply concerned by the false labels and consequent drugging of children, at least. I believe you have the exact point: drugging children into compliance (to operate as robots) and form a docile workforce for the few rich on the planet. This scenario was foreseen by various thinkers. It's the substance of novels and science fiction movies. How did we allow this evil to get this far? It is a very sick world.

Opening with Handel's Concerto Grosso in D Major, the first concert of the festival is a playful exploration of sonic connections between composers from varying time periods and countries, whose personal lives with music span a great distance. Two pieces by John Cage follow...
