| Father Foley Cape Cod abuse case settled For $550,000
The Archdiocese of Hartford agreed this week to pay $550,000 to a man who accused the Rev. Stephen Foley of using his position as Hartford County fire chaplain to sodomize him when he was a 14-year-old parishioner in Windsor Locks. Foley, who has been accused of abuse by at least 11 men since 1993 and was removed from public ministry in 2002, is still affiliated with the county fire organization he belonged to when the alleged assault occurred. He now holds the title of "chaplain emeritus" of the group, according to board members... The current president of the group is Windsor Locks Fire Chief Gary Ruggiero. Haber said Ruggiero sent an e-mail to the board of directors Friday criticizing the newspaper for publishing a story last Sunday that exposed Foley's continued use of a police-equipped Crown Victoria with flashing lights, sirens and scanners... abuse took place on a weekend when the boy and his friend accompanied Foley to a home on Cape Cod, which Foley said was owned by his aunt, the brief said.

Join us and live in peace or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you. The alien Klaatu from The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) * * * Often something happens in the world of sport that transcends the mundane realities of life. The San Antonio Spurs winning their 4th NBA championship is a recent example. To Spurs fans, at least, that victory will resonate. To some fans it will offer lifelong validation of allegiance to their team. As fans, as human beings navigating this thing we call day-to-day life, we need these moments of transcendence. They help us to put our own toils in a grander perspective; they remind us that we are capable of bigger things. They help us to celebrate our very ordinary human-ness while they illuminate the intricate ways in which sport and history weave themselves into the fabric of our society and into the threads of our being.
