A stable sports team: The University of Tennessee’s Equestrian Team

Clad in t-shirts and jeans, two riders loped their western mounts around a shadowed arena on a crisp November evening. The riders, Sarah Shipp and Anna Wermert, are members of the University of Ten…

I don’t usually post school work on here, but I’m pretty darn proud of this profile.

Go give it a look if you’re interested in horses, college sports, or if you’re just curious about what I’ve been up to.

James Bennet, the editor of the New York Times editorial page, lately has been waging his share of battles, which he no doubt would be enjoying more if he did not give a damn about rude things combatants say about him and his publication.

But he does give a damn.

Bishop who didn’t alert police on abuser-priests is living at cardinal’s mansion

When word began to spread in 1989 that Vincent McCaffrey, a Chicago-area Catholic priest, had been accused of molesting children, a top church official expressed concern — about word getting out.

“Unfortunately, one of the key parishioners . . . received an anonymous phone call which made reference by name to Vince and alleged misconduct on his part with young boys,” the Rev. Raymond Goedert wrote to then-Cardinal Joseph Bernardin.

“We all agreed that the best thing would be for Vince to move,” Goedert wrote, according to documents released as part of a court settlement. “We don’t know if the anonymous caller will strike again.”

In 2003, McCaffrey was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for possession and receipt of child pornography.

Robert Herguth, writing for the Chicago Sun Times, reveals what became of a Catholic bishop who tried to cover up allegations of sexual abuse in the church. Read his bombshell reporting HERE.

Trump’s border wall threatens to end Texas family’s 250 years of ranching on Rio Grande

The most recent government letter arrived in an envelope marked “Urgent: Action Required,” so Fred Cavazos asked his family to meet at their usual gathering spot on the Rio Grande. He and three of his relatives crowded around an outdoor table as Fred, 69, opened the envelope and unfolded a large map in front of them. It showed a satellite image of the family’s land, 77 rural acres on the U.S. border where Fred had lived and worked all his life, but he had never seen the property rendered like this.

“Border Infrastructure Project,” the map read, and across its center was a red line that cut through the Cavazos family barn, through their rental house, and through a field where they grazed a small herd of longhorn cattle.

“This is where they want to put the wall,” Fred said, tracing his finger along the line. “They want to divide the property in half and cut us off from the river.”

Eli Saslow, writing for the Washington Post, shows us the impact Trump’s proposed border wall will have on one South Texas family. (With beautiful photos by Carolyn Van Houten!) Read it HERE.

Cincinnati cop: ‘This is why there’s no grocery stores in the black community’

Cincinnati police investigators said an officer who deployed a Taser to stop an 11-year-old girl from shoplifting violated the department’s use of force policy, but also found problems with his telling the girl: “You know, sweetheart, this is why there’s no grocery stores in the black community.”

The comment was caught on Officer Kevin Brown’s body camera and is the second time the officer is accused of making inappropriate comments while doing his job. Two years ago he was written up for using a homophobic slur in reference to an alleged domestic violence victim, though the woman did not hear him.

Councilman Wendell Young, a former police officer, said “I just don’t know if you have room on the police department for people like this. This guy, from what I am hearing, has serious issues. He apparently polices the way he feels.”

This story, from the USA Today Network, via the Chicago Sun Times, is worth a read, we think. Check it out HERE.

The Imam’s Widow

As the wife of a Muslim religious leader, she came to America with uncertainty and hope. A suspected hate crime snuffed out the hope.

Every night, Alauddin Akonjee set the alarm clock in the bedroom of his home in Ozone Park, Queens, fearful he wouldn’t wake in time for morning prayer. And each morning, he and his wife, Minara, would be awake before the buzzer sounded.

Alauddin, a Muslim immigrant from Bangladesh, was the imam at the nearby mosque and devoted to his religious obligations. Minara, his wife of nearly 30 years, was devoted to making sure the imam met those obligations. She would lay his clothes out on the bed, and, after he’d gone off to the mosque, she’d make sure a lunch was ready for him, typically a meal of rice and curried fish.

But Alauddin and Minara had built more than a life of modest, familiar routines in their unassuming corner of America, a Queens neighborhood that has served as home to a succession of immigrant groups over the last century. Their children had gone to local schools and found jobs or started families of their own. The mosque where Alauddin served as imam, Al Furqan Jame Masjid, had more than doubled in size in recent years. Born in the basement of a house on Glenmore Avenue, it had grown to draw 100 or more congregants for Friday prayer, the entire mosque overflowing.

Rahima Nasa, writing at ProPublica, shares the story of Minara Akhter, who came to America with uncertainty and hope. Then her husband, a Muslim religious leader, was murdered in a suspected hate crime. Read Nasa’s report HERE.
