DJ Silverstein produces a weighty win for Franklin baseball, which reaches D1 quarterfinals despite 3-6 start
'Last year I was kind of undersized,' Silverstein said. 'I hit the weight room hard, just really determined to get out there and go compete..' On Thursday, the 6-foot-3-inch junior righthander limited fifth-seeded Xaverian to two runs and three hits over five innings as the No. 12 Panthers carved out a 5-3 second-round win in the Division 1 tournament.

'[Silverstein] actually didn't think he had his best stuff, but it showed what kind of competitor he is,' Brown said. 'He got the ball today and didn't disappoint.'

Junior Drake McAlpine was 3 for 3. 'We started off 0-3, then 3-6, and I think we have 12 freshmen and sophomores,' Brown said. 'You know, a lot of juniors, but not a lot of seniors. So that hasn't been what we've been accustomed to. I feel like we're starting to see the growth and maturity.' Battling the 90-degree heat on a turf diamond, Silverstein gave way in the sixth to sophomore Owen Lewis, who yielded an RBI fly out to center to Xaverian's Beckett Delleo.

'We believe in passing the baton, and everybody's got to do their job,' Brown said. 'Everybody has to be able to execute.' Franklin celebrates a second-round win over Xaverian.

'There was a lot of pressure,' said Luna, who drove in all three of the Townies' runs. 'I'm already hurt; I was nervous.' The winning homer was his seventh of the season and the fourth on the Bunker Hill Community College field. After falling behind 2-0, the Townies rallied in the third inning, evening the score on Luna's two-run single to left field.

Hells Angels residence shot up near Quebec City
A residence in Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, in the Jacques-Cartier MRC near Quebec City, was shot at twice this week. The suspects again shot at the home on Friday evening, at around 8:30 p.m., prompting a major police deployment. 'Police officers from the Jacques-Cartier MRC were called to reports of gunshots heard in the Sommet Road area of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury. Once on the scene, they found that shots had hit a residence in the area. Fortunately, no one was injured,' said Sûreté du Québec (SQ) spokesperson Sergeant Audrey-Anne Bilodeau in an interview. The residence is located in a densely wooded residential area where neighbours are a safe distance away. The house in question may belong to Mathieu Pelletier, an alleged member in good standing of the Hells Angels, according to the daily Le Soleil, which said it had checked the municipal land register. Police refused to confirm this information immediately, since the person targeted is a victim and the police never publicly identify victims in their investigations. However, Bilodeau acknowledged that this is not the first time that the area has been targeted. 'This is the second time. There was a similar incident on Thursday night,' she admitted. 'The Major Crimes Division is conducting the two investigations in order to shed light on these two events.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on May 10, 2025.

‘Indefensible': Murderer accidentally given day release without grieving mother being told
A grieving mother says she was devastated to learn the killer who brutally murdered her daughter had been accidentally allowed day release into the community without her knowledge. The blunder was only revealed after a member of 20-year-old Adriana Donato's family believed she had seen Adriana's killer, James Stoneham, at a shopping strip near the family home. Stoneham, who had meticulously researched how to murder Adriana before luring her to a park and stabbing her with a hunting knife in 2012, pleaded guilty and was sentenced in November 2013 to 19 years' jail, with a minimum non-parole period of 14½ years. Adriana's mother, Grace Donato, a former member of the state government's family violence Victim Survivors' Advisory Committee, discovered in early April that Stoneham had been moved from a high-security prison to the minimum-security Judy Lazarus Transition Centre in the CBD. A relative told Grace Donato she had seen Stoneham walking at their local shopping strip in Puckle Street, Moonee Ponds, near where Stoneham had lived at the time of the offence. Donato said she was incredulous because even with a sentence discount of 14 months granted to him by the state government due to COVID emergency management during his jail time, Stoneham could not be on parole until mid-December this year. 'I didn't believe he could be out in the community. We dismissed [the relative] – we thought she was being ridiculous,' said Donato, who had placed herself on the Victorian Victims Register in February 2025 so she could be notified of any developments in the timing of Stoneham's parole application. Donato asked police in early April if it could be true that Stoneham was in the community, and was informed he had been transferred about a month earlier to the Lazarus centre. It has five self-contained units, residents of which can go out while accompanied.
