# Vitus Huonder

Vitus Huonder (21 April 1942 – 3 April 2024) was a Swiss prelate of the Catholic Church. A Traditionalist Catholic, he served as Bishop of Chur from 2007 to 2019.

## Biography

Vitus Huonder was born in Trun on 21 April 1942. He studied at the Pontifical Atheneum Saint Anselm and at the University of Fribourg, earning a licentiate in theology. He was ordained a priest of the diocese of Chur on 25 September 1971 and then continued his studies, earning a doctorate in theology in Fribourg. He became vicar general of Chur in 1998.
Pope Benedict XVI appointed him bishop of Chur on 8 July 2007. He received his episcopal consecration on 8 September 2007 from Amédée Grab, his predecessor as bishop of Chur. His tenure proved controversial to some, as he reaffirmed orthodox Catholic doctrine in strong and uncompromising terms.
Pope Francis accepted his resignation on 20 May 2019. Huonder then chose to live out his retirement in an institute of the Society of Saint Pius X, with papal authorization, with the intention of living a quiet and prayerful life, celebrating the Tridentine Mass, and working for Sacred Tradition, the revitalization of which he saw as the only means of restoration of the Church.
On 3 April 2024, Huonder died at the age of 81 in the Sancta Maria Institute in Wangs, following a serious illness. His funeral Mass on 17 April was celebrated by Bishop Bernard Fellay, and Huonder was buried at the International Seminary of Saint Pius X in Écône next to the tomb of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Huonder's successor, Bishop Joseph Maria Bonnemain, attended the funeral, but did not take part in the celebration, due to the irregular canonical situation of the SSPX.

# Steve Fields

Stephen Harold Fields (January 1, 1941 – October 29, 2009) was an American Major League Baseball umpire who worked in the National League from 1979 to 1981, wearing uniform number 27 during his career. Fields umpired 373 Major League games.

## Umpiring career

Fields worked 11 seasons in the minor leagues and was brought up to the National League (along with Dave Pallone, Lanny Harris, and Fred Brocklander) during the 1979 Major League Baseball umpires strike as a replacement. As such, he was not permitted to join the Major League Umpires Association.
In the 1979 season, he umpired first base during Ken Forsch's no-hitter against the Atlanta Braves.
When the strike was settled, Fields and the others were allowed to remain on the staff as long as their performance was satisfactory. On November 15, 1981, after the 1981 season, Fields was fired for "low performance ratings" and "failure to show improvement", the first of the four replacements to leave (Harris was fired in 1985, Pallone technically resigned in 1988, and Brocklander retired in 1992).
Throughout his time in the major leagues, Fields faced ostracism from the union umpires. Fields filed a $1 million lawsuit against MLB because of his firing and claiming that his performance suffered due to the "ostracism and antagonism" from other umpires due to his "scab" status. The lawsuit was eventually dropped due to a lack of reliable evidence.

## Personal life

Fields worked railroad and postal jobs as well as working as an oil driver in Alexandria, Virginia. At the same time he was also working on the side as a high school umpire, before pursuing officiating as a professional.
After his firing and lawsuit failure, Fields struggled to get another job. He worked at the U.S. Postal Service, and as a high school umpire and as a truck driver.
Fields died on October 29, 2009, at the age of 68.

# Cinci Hoca

Cinci Hoca (literally "hoca of jinn") is the epithet of Karabaşzade Hüseyin Efendi, a 17th-century Ottoman spiritualist whose influence on the sultan caused many problems in the empire.

## Life

He was born in Safranbolu (in modern province of Karabük, Turkey). According to Joseph von Hammer, he was a descendant of Sadrettin Konevi, a 13th-century Sufi. But unlike his famous ancestor, he made a name as a witch doctor and valide sultan (mother sultana) Kösem invited him to the palace to cure the unbalanced sultan Ibrahim. In 1643, Sultan Ibrahim appointed Cinci as the kadi of Galata and in 1644 as the kazasker of Anatolia (Turkish: Anadolu kazaskeri) an appointment which caused a great reaction among the ulama.

## Influence

Cinci used his increasing power to increase his wealth by accepting bribes. He was instrumental in executing the able grand vizier Kemankeş Mustafa Pasha in 1644. Seeing the end of his predecessor, the new grand vizier Semiz Mehmed Pasha became a very ineffective statesman.

## Death

When Ibrahim was dethroned in 1648 and replaced by Mehmed IV, the new grand vizier Sofu Mehmed Pasha faced the problem of bonus salaries (Turkish: culus bahşişi), the traditional salary paid to soldiers upon the enthronement of the new sultan. He confiscated Cinci's earnings and expelled Cinci to Damascus (now in Syria). But during his travel, Cinci fell ill in Mihalcık (now Karacabey in Bursa Province, Turkey). While staying in Mihalcık, he criticised the grand vizier and consequently he was executed.

# Luffenham railway station

Luffenham railway station is a former station of the Syston and Peterborough Railway serving the villages of North and South Luffenham, Rutland.

## History

The contract for the erection of the station was obtained by Groocock and Yates of Leicester in 1847. The station was opened on 20 March 1848 by the Midland Railway and situated adjacent to a level crossing on the North Luffenham to Duddington road. It was about 0.8 miles from each village by road, although only 0.5 miles from South Luffenham by the public footpath that was soon established (and which still exists). It also became the junction for the London and North Western Railway's Rugby and Stamford Railway in 1850.
The substantial station buildings were of Italianate design and there was a goods shed next to the platform. There were three lines through the station, that for the main platform being a loop. There were sidings to both sides and originally two signal boxes, one of which was removed in the early 20th century. All of the local trains and many of the semi fasts called at the station. It closed to goods in 1964 and to passengers in 1966.
At grouping in 1923 it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway.
The line from Seaton was closed and lifted in 1966, but the main Midland line is still in operation for trains from Leicester to Peterborough.

## Reopening proposal

The Welland Valley Rail partnership has proposed the reopening of Luffenham station and reinstating the 3.5 mile section of track between Seaton and South Luffenham on the Rugby and Stamford Railway route. This would enable a service to be introduced from Kettering, through Corby, Luffenham, Stamford, Peterborough, Whittlesea, March and terminating at a rebuilt station at Wisbech.
