$870K raised to rebuild
mosque destroyed in fire
VICTORIA, Texas (AP) — An online fund
established to raise money to rebuild a South
Texas mosque destroyed by fire over the
weekend has far exceeded its $850,000 goal.
A GoFundMe page set up on behalf of the
Islamic Center ofVictoria indicated Monday
that about $870,000 has been raised in just
two days.
The page shows more than 18,500 people
have contributed.
Fire officials say it's too early to determine
the cause of the blaze early Saturday morning.
The mosque was broken into about a week
ago and the target of a hate message in 2013,
but Muslim leaders and others are cautioning
against a rush to judgment.
The Victoria Advocate reports that police
estimate about 400 people attended a prayer
rally Sunday outside the remains of the
mosque.
Justice is partnering with the Rita B. Huff Humane Society to provide human interaction
and obedience training for dogs to increase their chances of adoption. Naya is one of two
dogs in the inaugural class still available for adoption.
(The amendment was adopted
in Dec. 1865.) Gen. Robert E. Lee
was named general-in-chief of
the Confederate States Army by
President Jefferson Davis.

CPS workers complain of
exclusion from pay raises
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Hundreds of veteran
workers with state Child Protective Services
who play important roles in protecting
children from abuse are complaining they
were excluded from the $12,000 emergency
pay raises recently granted to caseworkers.
The Dallas Morning News reports that many
of the seasoned workers spent a decade or
more in the field but now are in support roles
that include monitoring new caseworkers for
any missed threats to a child.
Lawmakers last month approved the
pay raises that went to about 7,200 CPS
employees, but agency leaders restricted
eligibility in such a way that omitted about
320 of the specialized workers.
Henry "Hank"Whitman, the head of family
protective services in Texas, is expected to ask
lawmakers for an additional $1.2 million a year
to pay the additional workers.
