June 1991 - San Francisco Police Officers Association

June, 1991 Notebook Page 3Interview With Al TrigueiroFROM THEPRESIDENTWhat's0Happeningur self-imposed deadline of May31, 1991 has come and gone. What'sgoing on? Is there a deal to be made? Isanything happening?The answers to these questions are succinct.Not much! Perhaps! Yes?Thus far through the negotiation processnothing of substance has occurred. The City,after receiving a week's extension on ourself-imposed deadline to Monday, June 3rd(due to the Memorial Holiday), returned tothe table on that particular date to providecounters to many of the remaining POAaffirmative proposals which have yet to beaddressed. Please realize that the POAplaced 51 affirmative proposals on thetable and, thus far, the City's negotiatingefforts have been spread thin by concurrentnegotiations with Firefighters, AirportPolice and the Miscellanous PublicEmployees' Unions. Now, however, thefield has narrowed and the City will be concentratingtheir efforts on our negotiations.The Public Employees' Unions settled theirdispute with the City in an 11th hourmeeting with the Mayor and hisNegotiating Staff on the evening of Monday,June 3rd - the date those Unionswere asking the Board of Supervisors fora veto override of the Mayor's proposedwage freeze package. The MiscellaneousPublic Employees' Unions cut a deal withthe City that will prove a full dental program,a proposed collective bargainingballot measure, arbitration for terminationand discipline cases and the guarantee oftheir expected pay raises in Fiscal Year1992-93. In other words, it may be a gooddeal for all concerned.Perhaps we, too, can make a deal? OnFriday morning, May 31st, Gary Delagnes,Vince Courtney and I met with the Mayorand Deputy Mayor Claude Everhardt todiscuss Gary's recently completed wageand benefit survey and comparison of thetop 20 California cities by population.Gary's survey (see story on page 1) clearlyputs us, on average, 20% behind the othertop agencies in California which translatesinto a monthly loss of approximately $800for a 4th year patrol officer. Gary providedthe Mayor with these survey results. Itwas agreed to by the City and the POAthat the impasse deadline would be extendedto the Monday, June 10th meeting atwhich the City, hopefully, will providepositive movement to settle these negotiationsand avoid arbitration. The POA hasa bottom line and we're playing the "pokergame" with all cards face up. It's the rightapproach and now the burden is on the Cityto bring its police officers back to a placewhere they rightfully belong - among thetop paid Departments in the State -because you deserve it!Dennis Tomason, chair of the Communications'Committee, will be keepingyou posted as events unfold. Look for hisbulletins.Lastly, the tribute dinner, for the Cityemployees who participted in OperationDesert Storm, sponsored by our Associationand organized by Mary O'Shea andAssociates, was a great success. The eventwas well attended and the entertainmentwas superb. Many thanks to all of ourmembers who contributed and there aremany. The POA salutes them all -Welcome Home.Conducted by Steve JohnsonOn May 4, 1950, Marie and AlfredTrigueiro had no idea that their newbornson, Alfred, would, 31 years after becominga native San Franciscan, enter into oneof the most difficult professions in theworld and become a San Francisco policeofficer.Young Al Trigueiro was raised in theMission District, attended Mission DoloresElementary School, graduated from St.Ignatius High School, received his Bachelorof Arts degree from Santa Clara Universityand a Masters in Business Administrationfrom the University of San Franciscoin 1988.Al's career within the San FranciscoPolice Department has been distinguishedby his adaptability to both patrol (Centraland Mission Stations) and administrativechallenges (Planning/Research and NarcoticEducation Unit). Al was instrumentalin the passage of Proposition A in 1988,a successful ballot measure sponsored byour department that now enables the Citythe opportunity to finance needed improvementsat its 9 district police stations.Officer Trigueiro was also a favorite ofthe elementary school children he taughtwhile serving with the Narcotic EducationUnit. Many of his students sent "thank you"notes to our Association during the weekfollowing the 1989 earthquake whenmembers of our department worked manywatches without relief.In 1989, Al Trigueiro was electedTreasurer of the SFPOA. Al was thecatalyst and later chaired the committeethat sponsored a collective bargainingballot measure. Al's efforts were instrumentalin ensuring the passage of the measure(Proposition D/1990) and the next stepwas only logical - the author of the successfulnovel (collective bargaining) shouldwrite the sequel (contract). So Al ran forthe Presidency of our Association andreceived an overwhelming mandate torepresent our members' interests in all laborissues.INTERVIEWWho is Al Trigueiro?Al: Al Trigueiro is not a complex person- he is a police officer who has the opportunityto represent his fellow officers indifferent arenas - City Hall, communitymeetings and at the department administrationlevel.Al Trigueiro, the person, has many interests- Al Trigueiro, the President, hasbut one... to obtain benefits for membersof the Association.Nevertheless, I feel I must apologizewhen I can't return a phone call right away.It's usually because Fm attending one of thecountless meetings during a week.Why did you choose to run for thepresidency of the SFPOA?Al: It was not an easy decision, nor wasit my own.I saw, firsthand, the price our formerpresident (Michael keys) paid during his administrationas far as demands for themost precious asset of all - time, was con-WHEN YOU THINK OFREAL ESTATE, THINK OF US!WE WORK TWICE ASHARD FOR YOU!Current Inventory:• 3 Bed/2 Bath Remodeled Homew/Family Rm. $249,000• 3 Bed/2 Bath Remodeled Homew/Formal Dining Rm and Pool!$253,950• 5 Bed/4 Full + 2 Half Baths —BrandNew, Custom $1,350,000cemed, and I wanted to make sure I hadthe full support of both my running matesbut, more important, my fiancee before Imade a commitment.My future wife, Moyra, agreed to supportmy bid and my compatriots (Delagnes,Dito, & Johnson) already knew of my plansfor the Association and were ready toserve.But I really felt I would have a goodhandle on the job (Presidency) because ofmy previous experience as Treasurer andmy involvement in the politics and needsof our Association. There's no way AlTrigueiro could possibly address all of theneeds of our membership. I must concentrateon the most important issues -negotiating a contract and I must dependon my Board of Directors to deal with otherperipheral issues.How do you answer critics who say you'renot experienced enough to lead the 1991SFPOA?Al: I think I can respectively stand on myrecord as far as experience is concerned.I was part of a committee which defeateda political ballot measure in 1989 (Prop K)that might have threatened our job scopehad it passed. And I helped to spearheadthe Proposition D (Collective Bargaining)campaign to a successful resolution evenwhen the Mayor, Chief of Police and twomajor newspapers failed to offer theirsupport.I've paid my "dues" so to speak in manydifferent arenas, especially when we wereoperating a proactive campaign (PropositionD) on a shoestring budget and it wasnecessary to rally the support of all ourmembers to help lobby specific votingblocs of our city as target areas to "get outthe vote."This operation, by the way, was anoutstanding tribute to our members and atremendous display of teamwork at thegrass root level of city politics.I think we all learned a great deal - Ifound out what a great resource ourmembers and their friends and families canbe and must be.Is the job (Presidency) what you expected?Al: Yes and no. I knew beforehand that thedemands would be phenomenal. I'mresponsible to 1,750 active members, 700retired members, I oversee a $1 millionoperating budget, direct the two law firmswe have on retainer, attend Police Commissionmeetings, serve on the Mayor'sDisciplinary Task Force, serve as chairmanof our Negotating Committee responsiblefor providing a contract acceptable to allof our members and, in between, fry to findsome time to "stop and smell the roses."I'm very fortunate to receive outstandingsupport from the members of the POAboard of' directors, many of whom areveterans in representing our officers beforeManagement Control Division and the Officeof Citizen Complaints, and others, whohave been recently elected, will make excellentrepresentatives in time.What do you hope to accomplish duringyour term in office?Al: First, to negotiate a contract that willsubstantially address both the economicSERVING MARIN AND SONOMA COUNTIES915 Diablo Avenue Novato, California 94947and environmental needs of ourmembership.Economic, because we are still disgracefullyon the lower rung of benefitsstate-wide compared to other major law enforcementagencies. Environmental,because our facilities, equipment and trainingare all in need of improvement for thebenefit of the citizens we serve.My second major goal is to work withthe Career Development program ChiefWillis Casey has initiated to ensure a timelyand delineated resource for careerenhancement.Of course, there are many other issuesat hand but none so important as benefitsand career goals.Do you see the role of the SFPOAchanging?Al: Yes, from reactive to proactive - PropositionD led the way in many respects- we are not only more accountable to ourmembership but we are becoming more involvedproactively in community affairs. Iam also pursuing the opportunity to improveour relationship with the departmentadministration as far as having a betterunderstanding between Chief Casey andhis command and our Board of Directorsin all matters of mutual interest.What does Al Trigueiro think of the presentleadership of the SFPD?Al: More importantly, what does the presentleadership of the SFPD think of ourAssociation - we're changing the POA'sdirection to one of cooperation, away froma somewhat adversarial role we foundourselves leading towards - I would rathersee cooperation within our meet/conferrights and obligations. Chief Casey's MissionStatement is pretty much in line withours - he wants to put an emphasis backon fighting crime and improving moraleand we would like to see the same accomplishedwith more training opportunities,better resources and appropriatecompensation.I respect the leaders of our police administration- they have a very difficult jobmaintaining order with ever-increasingdemands - similar to what Al Trigueirois trying to do at 510 7th Street.What policy/procedure(s) of the SFPD(See INTERVIEW, Page 4)First Consultation Free forOfficers & Their FamiliesKATHLEEN M.CIMAAttorney at Law• Former Police OfficerFormer S.F.D.A.Investigator• and the wife of• George Cima,Company K223 Caledonia, Sausalito, CATel. 415.332.1002Practicing in the Area of Family LawTHEMOTHER-DAUGHTERTEAMDONNA FAI.ZONReal Estate BrokerDEBBIE FALZON-ASHBURNRealtor(415) 897-3000

APP. 3d1319 (1991)ISSUE: Can a police department prohibita member from associating with a convictedfelon.ANSWER: YesDISCUSSION: Alan Bailey was a policeofficer with the city of National City. Hewas terminated based on alleged violationsof the city's police department rules andregulations. One violation centered aroundrule 3.3 which prohibits police officers fromcontinuous personal associations withfelons other than as required to performtheir official duties.The court record held that Baileyviolated the department rule by continuinghis close personal friendship with one EddieSmith, despite knowing Smith was afelon. Bailey continued this friendship evenafter he was told by his sergeant to ceaseassociating with Smith. The court decisionnoted that the government may place limitson a public emplyee's constitutionally protectedrights which could not be imposedon a private person. They said that policeofficers occupy a unique position that subjectsthem to an even higher standard ofconduct than other public emplyees. Thus,the National City police department ruleprohibiting continuous associations withfelons was held constitutional. To conclude,Baily found himself fired for the rulesviolation.Energy Consulting • Title-24 Compliance(415) 652-4433123 Townsend St., Suite 525San Francisco, CA 94107Career Development The Time Is Nowby Con JohnsonIn recent months I had the privilege andopportunity to work with a distinguishedgroup of San Francisco's Finest in developingat Career Development Program. Thisparticular group of approximately 30 individuals("Committee") was selected byChief Casey in order to reflect the diversifiedrepresentation of our department'srank and file. The selection process, initself, was only one intricate element infacilitating the Career DevelopmentProgram.Although the entire Career DevelopmentProgram falls under the auspices of theChief of Police, Captain Mike Hebei andSgt. Dan Lawson had the indubitableresponsibility in making sure that theaforementioned Committee remainedfocused on the primary objectives andstrictly adhered to the designated date ofcompletion. At the onset, the Committeemembers, who participated in the initialprocess, finally realized that attempting tokeep said Committee focused on one objectiveas opposed to many was not aneasy task to accomplish. Nevertheless,Captain Hebei and Sgt. Lawson thus farhave tenaciously demonstrated theirabilities to fulfill such an endeavor.The primary objective of the CareerDevelopment Committee is to develop andimplement a comprehensive and intergratedprogram which will enable andempower a member to participate in asystem where he or she can follow a clearand concise set of guidelines and/or criteriawhen encountering or contemplating careerdecisions. The Committee is also responsiblefor originating a logical mechanism insofaras to guarantee a fair and equitablemethod to assure upward or lateral mobility.This basis and new concept would bebased on the individual member's dedicationand commitment in improving andenhancing his or her own career. Furthermore,it is incumbent upon the Committeeto analyze and evaluate all possiblevariables invoved and the feasibilty in sucha program when determining the finalrecommendations to the Chief of Police.The methodology and concatenation.utilized in the beginning stages of theCareer Development Program was a brainstormingprocess. The process consistedof defining the term "Career Development"by gathering information accordingly. Thisrequired the Committee, in consensus, tostrike and alleviate the subject matterwhich was not conducive to the implementationof a comprehensive Career DevelopmentProgram. After the completion of theaforementioned process, the Committesubsequently divided the gathered informationinto eight categories: (1) Training andEducation; (2) Assignment Rotation; (3)Performance Evaluation; (4) PositionSpecifications; (5) Selection Process forJob Assignment; (6) Promotions (Testingand Assistance); (7) Advance Officer Position;and (8) Resource Center and ProgramInfrastructure. The Committee was laterdivided into several subcommittees. The intentof these subcommittees was to collectadditional information and literature regardingtheir respective categories. The sub-LAUNDRY ALTERATIONS DYEINGAVENUE FRENCH CLEANERS& TAILORSQUALIFY AND SERVICE2544 San Bruno Avenue. San Franceo, CA 94134Phone: 468-1555committies, in turn, would decipher,assimilate, and, report their findings in amanner which was appropriate.I would now like to take this opportunityto elaborate on some of the benefits we(the entire San Francisco Police Department)can gain from such a program. Theimplementation of a comprehensive and integratedCareer Development Programwould broaden and expand the opportunitiesfor all members who so choose toexplore new horizons and/or aspects of lawenforcement. It would also eradicatestagnation throughout our department. Forexample, a member could receive specializedcounseling from a Career Developmentcounselor in areas such as promotionalprepration, career planning guidelines, etc.A member would be able to obtain a trainingmatrix in order to fulfill certain requirementsand/or criteria prior to applyingfor a specialized unit, e.g., Narcotics Unit.After being introduced to the basic conceptof the Career Development Program,I decided to venture out on a station expeditionin order to test the "waters ofchange," meaning that one's perception ofchange can be viewed as either thecalmness of still water or the ferocious andfierce impact of a tidal wave. With that inmind, I arbitrarily conducted an unofficialsurvey of several officers to solicit theirresponses and feelings concerning a CareerDevelopment Program. I nonchalantly approachedsaid officers, at which time I proceededto give a brief overview regardingINTERVIEW(Continued From Page 3)would you like to see implemented,changed during your tenure in office?Al: I would like to see our department tryto facilitate members' duties and responsibilitiesby streamlining as many proceduresas possible, (e.g. faxing 10851reports, consolidating juvenile processing- procedures all at YGC to expedite bookings,coordinate a centralized booking projectwith the SF Sheriff personnel toalleviate lengthy medical clearances for arresteesas well as limit police-prisoner contactto avoid possible confrontations).I would also like to see our administrationtry to unfold the mystique of policework by allowing the media greater accessto the job we do. And, I have serious conemsover our staffing levels, promotionalschedules and training needs. Unfortunately,as "Chief for a Day," I must also realizethe budget restraints our current administrationfaces. Yet, we can still accomplishmany practical changes, enhancingthe job environment at both patrol andinvestigative levels with just a little imaginationand basic hard work.What would you think of a mandatoryrotation policy for all police personnel?Al: Almost every major law enforcementagency in California already has such apolicy, it's inevitable. We should try tomake it the best possible, adding everycontingency to enhance our working conditionsacross the board.Nevertheless this will become part of ourcontract as we cooperate with the CareerDevelopment Program which is now requiringextensive background research andmuch input from our membership.The POA has been touted as one of themost politically powerful organizations inthe importance of such a program. To mysurprise, a great number of these officersexpressed their interest in the implementationof the above-mentioned program.However, an equal amount of officersbecame apprehensive, acidulous, andcynical to the idea of inititating a program.When I attempted to clarify the purpose ofthe program and how it would benefit officers,in general, one response I receivedwas, "I don't want a Career DevelopmentProgram if ifs going to affect my presentassignment" This officer's response wasbased on the premise of one controversialaspect concerning a rotation policy, whichis only one of many elements pertaining toCareer Development."Quid pro quo" (one thing in return foranother) is a concept one must adopt inorder to facilitate positive changes with ourdepartment. This is imperative because wemust be willing to sacrifice a little so thatwe can reap the opulence of rewards.In closing, the Career DevelopmentCommittee will seek the support and acceptanceof the P.O.A., who has a similarand parallel objective, and the O.F.J. in institutingand guaranteeing the success ofthe indoctrination of a comprehensive andintegrated Career Development Program.In addition, the P.O.A. and O.EJ., as wellas other interested parties, must have ahand in assisting the Chief of Police whenit comes to shaping the San FranciscoPolice Departments future. The time is nowS.F. - do you agree?Al: There's no doubt that we've (SFPOABoard of Directors) made some verypragmatic yet difficult political endorsementsthat have enhanced our(POA's) leverage over the body politic ofSan Francisco - pragmatic because wefoliwed the recommendations of ourLegislative committee and our membershipthrough the Board of Directors.Difficult because not all of the lobbyingefforts were the most popular with manyof our constituents, but the lobbying wasnecessary to maintain the membership'strust and approval in our recommendations.However, political decisions willalways be necessary and they will alwaysbe difficult. We must keep in mind that our(POA's) previous success at the ballot boxwas due to the overwhelming support oflabor in S.F., the endorsements ofneighborhood clubs, and the members' participation.That's where the real power lies,with labor, the community and ourmembership.Where will the POA be in the year 2001?Al: I hopefully anticipate a fully-staffedpolice department with appropriate supportservices to make us what we've known fortoo long - the SFPD is the most professionallaw enforcement agency in California.The SFPOA will play a major role inthis catharsis. Through successful negotations,arbitration when necessary, we willhave a contract worthy of thedemonstrated professionalism themen/women of our organization deserve.What's the most aggravating part of yourposition?Al: Finding the time to get out to themembership and just listen to theirconcerns.What's the most rewarding part of yourjob?Al: Just having someone say, "Thanks."Nothing else comes close.WALLY MOONEYserving your transportation needsPURCHASE (or lease) ALL MAKES &MERIT LEASE CORP.692 El Camino RealSan Bruno, CA 94066BUSINESS: (415) 8760180DIRECT LINE: (415) 244-WALL'Y'(anytime-answering machine)Same "Cost Plus" system Wally'sbeen doing for the past 26 years!New Car Financing Through Your Credit UnionmodelsFAMOUS CHINESE FAMILY STYLE DINNER631 GRANT AVENUE • SAN FRANCISCOOPEN EVERY DAY • MONDAY - FRIDAY • 11:30 AM - 10:00 PMSATURDAY - SUNDAY • 12:00 NOON - 10:00 PM(415) 982-3245SINCE 1920

First andmost important is the deep, precious lovehe had in his heart for his parents. Thesacrifices and the pleasure that he deniedhimself were manifested in many ways. Hewas a devoted son and a man of thehighest morals.Paul loved all sports, with boxing beinghis main interest and first love, and nextin line baseball gave him the most pleasureas a spectator sport. I can recall on Saturdaysat Funston Playground in 1936, agroup of players would show up, sideswere chosen and we would play for a dimea man and you'd think we were playing inthe world series; but a dime in those dayswould buy a milk shake. Getting back toPaul; he was always the last one chosenand would end up in right field and bat afterthe pitcher. His ability was limited, but asfar as his determination and the effort hedisplayed he would be batting first in mybook.One thing about Paul is that you couldalways count on him to be in shape, asworking out (to him) was like putting onhis clothes in the morning. The results ofthese workouts were self-evident: he hadthe build of a Greek god. His clothing matchedhis appearance. All his clothes weretailor-made, including his shirts, which cost$40.00 each. Paul is a native San Franciscan,having been born in the NorthBeach area on August 30, 1918. He attendedCommerce High School andgraduated in 1937.This is not an article on Paul's police exploits,but, briefly, he was sworn in as oneof San Francisco's Finest on May 19,1947, and retired as an Inspector on May7, 1977, spending most of his time in theFraud Detail.When Paul retired, two of our policereporters, Baron Mueller and Malcon"Scoop" Glover, wrote articles that referredto him as "Mr. Nice Guy." The personwho was most instrumental in Paul joiningthe Police Department was a wellknownand highly respected fight managerby the name of Joey Fox who lovedpolicemen. Many of his close friends werefrom the police department.When Paul decided to turn professional,Joey Fox became his manager. This wasarranged by Ray Luñny II who was alsomanaged by Joey Fox. Paul recalls withfond memories how he enjoyed seeing RayLunny II and his son in the ring and thegrace and beauty as they performed. TheLunny Brothers were all top fighters in theirdays, not only fighting in main events butalso fighting for the world light weight divisionchampionships. Ray Lunny II was sowell-respected that Stanford University retainedhim as their boxing coach and heremained there for a quarter of a century.Proud Supporter of SFPOAOffering:Special Weekend PackagesExquisite Diningin Benkay or Cafe 222Located one block from Union Square at 222 Mason Street.Pleasecall(415)394-1111 .RETIRED.MEMBERSCOLUMNby Gino Marionetti & Mike SugrueRetired Inspector Paul A. Cavagnaroaka Paul "The Man" CavagnaroA Legend In His Own Time\ "HThe friendship and admiration betweenJoey Fox and Paul Cavagnaro was so deepand ever-lasting that Paul calls him thegreatest fight manager that ever lived and• day doesn't go by that he doesn't take• few moments to relive the moments andmemories and how much he misses hisfriend.Paul grew up in the North Beach areawhich was an Italian colony. There weremany athletes who went on to greatachievements.In baseball there was Dario Lodigiani,Dino Restelli, Vince and Dominic DiMaggiowho were all close friends of Paul. Inbasketball we have perhaps the greatestplayer to ever wear the uniform and an innovatorof the one-handed shot. AgainstDuquesne University, he scored 50 pointsin one game. He also has a statuededicated to him. He was an All-Americanevery year he attended Stanford University.Naturally I am writing about HankLusietti.The first indication that Paul eventhought about being a boxer was due toan old timer who lived up the street by thename of Paul DeMartini who fought underthe name of Paul Martin. What impressedPaul was that this person, by boxing, wasable to send one son through dental schooland set up the other two sons in their ownconstruction company.Paul's great love for boxing blossomedas he recalls that one Christmas, his dadgave him a pair of boxing gloves. Paulalways had them with him and would lookall over the neighborhood until he foundsomeone that would do a little sparringwith him. This came to a sudden halt aswhen his opponents went home and theparents saw the blackeyes and bloddynoses they would ball Paul's parents andcomplain.While attending Commerce HighSchool, he became close friends with RitchieShinn, also a prominent fighter in hisday, also the Lunny Brothers and aLeonard Hodgson who was a member ofthe Olympic Club.One day Paul was engaged in an altercationin school, and it was then thatLeonard Hodgson saw his prowess. Hetook him to the Olympic Club to try outfor their boxing team which was coachedby the well-known "Spider Roche." Paul'sfirst fight occured in the Golden GlovesTournament in 1937, but it may surprisesome to know that his first opponent wasa, Pat Guglienini who real name was PatValentino. To this day they are the best offriends and have great respect and admirationfor one another. Paul has many boxerfriends, one being Tony Bosnich, aheavy weight who fought all the top contendersin his day. The night that PaulCavagnaro made his debut, Tony Bosnichalso appeared on the fight program. I amsure that a lot of you recall that the fightsin those days were held at the DreamlandRink which was at Post & Steiner Streets.Paul won the Golden Gloves in 1940and I am happy to report that I was therewhen they raised his hands as the winner.The same year he won the Diamond Beltlight heavyweight division. Paul finally wentdown to defeat in Boston, Mass., in theHearst All American Belt tournament. Paulwas in his prime but like so many otheroutstanding athletes, his career was interruptedwhen the Japanese bombed PearlHarbor. He enlisted in the Coast Guardand served our country with distinction anddedication for a period of four years. It wasat this time of his life that he decided toturn pro. One thing that Paul is grateful forand cherishes is the wonderful friendshipsthat he made and will always treasure.The following is a list of these friends,and for anyone knowing the least little bitof boxing, I assure you that they were alltop class boxers with three of them becom-I ing world champions. The three were FreddieApostoli, Bobo Olson, whom I see onoccasions, and Tony Olivera. The list continueswith The Lunny Brothers, BabyArizmendi, Joey Giambra, RockyFumerelle, Little Tiger Wade, Ray Actis, Aland Del Citrino, Billy Luffrano and VictorGrupico.A last insight on this person who I willrefer to as "a Man among Men". He hadfour professional fights and then decidedto call it a career as difficult as it was, buthe honored his mother's wish and the promisehe made to her and gave up boxing.I recall talking to Eddie Booker, who wasa professional fighter and his only fault wasthat he was too good (a lot like ArchieMoore) and the fighters of the time wouldjust avoid them. In our conversations, Eddiewould say his heart bleeds every timehe thinks of Paul, as in those days therewas a lot of talk about finding a white hopeto become a world champion in theheavyweight division. Eddie thought somuch of Paul that he was sincere when hetold me that he really thought that Paul hadthat chance to become a world's champ.Paul wants to extend his greeting to allof his friends and wishes to thank JackCarpenter for his wonderful gesture insending him a card with so manysignatures of his friends. Jack is a fightreferee and Paul spoke so highly of this individual.A special greeting also to Ray Actiswhom I have had the pleasure ofmeeting and playing golf with on occasions.He is a membef of our group, SaintStevens. We have 35 members. Thepolicemen in it are Joseph Engler, MikeDoherty, Joe Curtin, Tom Mulkeen, andFrank Hanarahan.A little insight on Ray Actis is that hewas Paul's father's favorite fighter and asfar as being able to punch, he had no equal.I recall in 1947 I was playing ball forOklahoma City, and we were on the trainto Tulsa, Oklahoma for a series. I happenedto run into a friend who invited me fordinner. There was a third party who joinedus, and he was Billy Conn who couldhave become a world's champ but that isanother story. When Billy Conn heard I wsfrom San Francisco he told me, "Youknow, I fought this little guy named Actisand, of all the fighters I had ever fought,he hit me the hardest and that includes JoeLouis. Gee, that man could really punchand the power he carried wasunbelievable."A side note is that Paul and his lovelywife are looking forward to seeing MonsignorJohn Heaney who will be inMilwaukee on the 27th of May and hasmade arrangements to see Paul on the28th and the 29th of May.I had the pleasure of meeting Paul's wifeand naturally it was in the Police Gym atHunters Point Shipyards and as far as Icould observe she is in wonderful shapeand she is the type of person that after beingwith her and engaging in conversationfor 15 minutes that you feel that you haveknown her all of your life.Paul is still in good shape and at 72 yearsof age states that for a minute and half thathe could go at top speed. In my conditionI would be lucky to answer the bell.Some history on Elm Grove,Washingotn, where Paul's wife comes fromand where they are now living. The city ofMilwaukee is only 15 to 20 minutes away.It measures three square miles but ElmGrove is a very unique place to live and thepopulation is 6,700 inhabitants. It has beenin existence for approximately 150 yearsThere are four churches, each an authenticreproduction of a different architecturestyle. The fire department is manned by 15fire fighters. They are well-respected by thelocals. Somehow Paul's police backgroundsurfaced and they are using his drivewaywith radar guns pointed at on-coming traffic.Needless to say that many speeders arecaught and the revenue to the city has increasedimmensely. Elm Grove has itscultural sources which includes includes afully stocked library, a theater that has allthe Broadway hits throughout the year andit has two large shopping malls that are onlyfive minutes away from their home.

June, 1991 Notebook Page 7Controller's Audit: City Workers'Compensation Costs Too Highby Mike Hebel, Welfare OfficerWonder why the number of complaintsabout inadequate medical care for job injuriesare rising? Concerned about physiciansmore concerned about returning youto work than returning you to health?Perplexed by the bureaucratic hassle if youselect your own treating physician?Part of the answer to these and otherconcerns about light duty, payment delays,and use of a very select number of "treatingdoctors", can be found in an Audit Report,dated March 31, 1991, prepared by theCCSF Controller's office.Its major recommendations are trulystartling. Read on.Cost RisingThe audit concluded that San Franciscomaintains an increasingly expensiveworker's compensation program. Costsgrew at a yearly rate of 13% for the pastdecade - almost double the '7% yearlyrate of overall city expenditures, and nearlytriple the Bay Area consumer prie& indexfor the same period.The Audit's major findings were:1. Medical costs increased at an averageof 13% annually over the past decade.2. City employees often net moremoney on industrial disability leave thenwhen working, resulting in extendeddisability payments and increased medicalcosts.3. There is inadequate monitoring ofworkers' compensation claims, resulting inunnecessary medical and disabilitypayments.4. Many City departments lack or refuseto implement limited duty assignments.5. The City is ignoring pre-employmentphysical and psychological standards thereby inviting greater numbers of industrialdisability claims.The audit asks - what is driving thesecost so high and how can they be contained?The answer, surprisingly, is not thatadditional claims are being filed by Cityworkers but rather the rising medical anddisability payments associated with theseclaims.Cost containment suggestions urge fundamentalalterations in the City's workers'compensaion program. They include: effectivepre-employment physical examinations,safe work practices and training,remove financial disincentives foremployees to return to work, develop comprehensiveinterdepartmental light dutyprograms, and alter the manner in whichCity employees receive medical care for jobinjuries.Escalating Medical CostsEscalating medical costs are the majorfactor contributing to increases in workers'compensation expenses. For FY 1981 toFY 1990 medical costs increased from$4.5 million to $14.4 million - a whopping220% increase.During this same period, disability payrose from $4.7 million to $7 million - upover 40%.Disability pay for police is up $3.7 millionfrom FY 82-83 to FY 89-90. The Controllerblames this jump on 2 factors:salary increases averaging about 7% annuallyand the provision of full salary forpublic safety officer while recuperating fromjob injuries.Says the Controller: Medical costsand disability pay must be contained!S.F. General HospitalIn 1972 the Retirement System respondedto a flood of complaints about hospitalcare at SFGH for injured City workers byentering into a contract with the St. FrancisHospital.San Francisco General Hospital administratorshave expressed interest in providingmedical care to injured City workers.The Controller is urging the RetirementSystem to rebid the workers' compensationmedical contract.Has SFGH 'improved its hospital careand general environment so as to regainthe trust of City employees? I continuallyhear a. resounding NO!Take Away Full Pay Disability Leave!That's what the Controller recommendsthe Board of Supervisors do! Because industrialdisability pay is tax free, the Auditnotes that disabled public safety employees(police, fire, paramedics) can receive an annualincrease of 37% if off work on DP fora full year - this amounts to more than$10,000. Employees can augment theirtake home pay by purchasing privatedisability insurance policies.The City's chief administrative officerrecently found that: "San Francisco'semployees average 34 days from work foreach disability claim, a rate 100% higherthan the statewide average for local governmentemployees."According to the latest study conductedby the California Department of IndustrialRelations, public safety officers spend moredays away from work due to occupationalinjuries than any other job category.However, the nature of police/fire workmainly explains this finding. These two occupationsrank very high in terms ofdanger, injuries sustained, and theseriousness of the injuries.The Controller's Audit recommended:"The Mayor and Board of Supervisorsshould request the state legislature toamend the state law which gives publicsafety officers more net income when onindustrial disability leave than when theydo work."400 Cases per WorkerState guidelines presently recommendthat claim adjuster caselaods not exceed200 cases. Historically, the CompensationDivision has experienced workloads twicethat amount.The Police Department claim adjustersare Carl Morgan and Joe Unamun. Whilethe subject of some complaints from policeofficers, they generally do a good job consideringtheir enormous caseloads.Light Duty AssignmentsThe audit noted that the Police Departmenthas over 100 light duty positionswhile the Municipal Railway has nonebecause a labor agreement precludesmanagement from requiring injuredworkers to perform light duty.The Audit concludes: "Limited dutyassignments, commonly known as light duty,is a proven method for returning injuryworkers in a timely manner."City Employment Hiring Criticized"The City hires workers who have agreater likelihood of becoming industiraldisability claimants because preemploymentphysical and psychologicalstandards are not established or not ignored."With respect to the Police Department,it was poignantly noted that during themost recent recruitment for police officers,the Department hired for placement intothe Police Academy 40% of the candidateswho received a "D" grade (unacceptable forpolice work) on the psychological exam.The audit boldly asserted: "San Franciscois hiring police officers that otherpolice departments have already rejectedGROSSMAN DESIGN GROUPArchitecture Planning ResearchJohn P. Grossman, Principal151 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107415 543-8618MATRIXLand and Development, Inc.or would refuse to hire." It was noted thatthere was a demonstrated correlation betweena police candidate's grade on thispsychological exam and their actual performanceas a police officer. The Civil ServiceCommission has recently approved a$10,000 contract to study this situation.The Audit urged the Police Departmentto maintain hiring standards pertaining topsychological test results consistent withthose of most other California law enforcementagencies.One From The Heartby Gary Delagnes, Vice PresidentWhen you call a plumber to your hometo fix your toilet it's usually going to costyou about $50 an hour. Go see a shrinkand that will run you about $100 an hour.Hire an attorney to clean up a legal messand that will run you $150 an hour. Godhelp you if you need a good doctor; thatcan run you up to $200 an hour. Now ifyou have a fight with your husband andwant him out of the house, but he won'tleave, you call a cop. He or she is supposedto show up, clean up the mess,rehabilitate the couple,, and makeeverything beautiful again, all for the low,low price of $20 per hour. What a deal!Many people say that cops are held toa higher level, that they are not in this professionfor the money, but for the gratificationthey feel when they help their fellowman. Pretty realistic, isn't it?Since I have become more involved inthe POA I have seen the terrible toll thatpolice work can take. I have done a lot ofthinking about my own life and the professionthat I chose these past few months,and never before have I questioned why Ibecame a police officer more than I have- recently. I think money is probably part ofit. I'm sick and tired of working 10 side jobsa month to live in a decent house and goout to dinner every once in a while. But Ithink that really is a small part of it. Therewas a day I was so proud to say I was acop. I was so proud to say I was a SanFranciscan. But, as most of us know, thosedays are gone forever.I think of the things that I have seen in13 years. Things that no one else wantsto look at or deal with. Things that we haveall had to deal with. I don't know too manypeople that have had to look at a body lyingon the ground with the head 20 ft.away. I don't know too many professionswhere you have to kick in a door and seea 50-year-old man raping a 12-year-oldboy, or a mother sticking a burningcigarette into her screaming child's skin.How many people have to go inside theapartment of a person who has been deadfor two months and, when you help thecoroner pick up the body, have it explode.How many people have to look at the bodyof a 28-year-old woman who has just takenher life by jumping 30 floors from the SirFrancis Drake Hotel and then you're askedto notify her parents Not pretty thingsto think about or look at.

Sheis the mother of two sons, age 5 and 6 andlives in Northern Virginia. She is a formerSan Francisco Police Officer. Ed is also aformer patrolman of the Oakland PoliceDepartment. In December of 1990 Cathywas diagnosed as having Stage II breastcancer (with positive lymph nodes) andunderwent a modified radical mastectomyshortly thereafter. During surgery, doctorsfound 18 positive (malignant) lymph nodes.Ten or more positive lymph nodes indicatea high risk for recurrence of the cancer.Cathy is currently undergoing intensivechemotherapy to treat her cancer. HerPrudential PruCare network approved oncologiststates that, without an autologousbone marrow transplant (ABMT), there isa 50% chance that the cancer will recurewithin two years and an 80% chance thatit will recur within five years. If her cancerrecurs, it will likely be fatal with presentlyavailable technology.An ABMT is a medical procedure inwhich bone marrow is removed from thepatient and stored. The patient thenreceives higher dosage chemotheraphydesigned to eliminate all cancerous cellsfrom the body. The patient's own bonemarrow is then returned, increasingchances of a cancer-free life to about 80%.SAN FRANCISCOPOLICE DEPARTMENTS.E.P.

Of those cars, it is furtherestimated that 30 percent are uninsured.What happens when you are involved inan autombile accident with a negligentuninsured motorist? Your only recourse forrecovery is contained in your own insurancepolicy under Insurance Code §11580.2.The Uninsured Motorist Act Set ForthIn Insurance Code § 11580.2The legislature initially adopted this lawin 1959 and has since amended and updatedit over the years. This law requiresevery automobile liability insurance policyissued or delivered in California to includeuninsured motorist coverage, a type ofbodily injury insurance designed to compensatethe insured, you, for damage inflictedby a financially irresponsiblemotorist unless expressly waived. The term"uninsured motorist" does not appear in thelaw, but is a shorthand substitute for thestatutory phrase "owner or operator of anuninsured motor vehicle."The coverage, for which an additionalpremium is charged, insures the insured,his heirs, or his legal representative for allsums up to the statutory minimum that heor they, as the case may be, may be legallyentitled to recover from the uninsuredmotorist as damages for bodily injury orwrongful death. The minimum coveragelimits are $15,000 for one person in oneaccident, and $30,000 for two or more personsin any one accident. "Bodily injury"includes sickness or disease, and deathresulting from either.OPEN ROADBICYCLESDff( )1352 Irving St.San Francisco, CA 94122(415) 753-6272The insurers liability, that is the insurancecompany, derives from and is contingenton your legal right as an insured torecover from the uninsured motorist asdetermined by the general principles of tortlaw. In other words, if the uninsuredmotorist has committed the negligent act,then you as the injured party are entitledto recover. By this law, you then are protectedand can recover up to the amountof insurance you purchased against injuriesand damages inflicted by someone notinsured.In 1985, the California legislature requiredthat all policies including uninsuredmotorist coverage must now also includeunder-insured motorist coverage. Underinsuredmotorist coverage means that if aninsured person is injured or damaged to theextent that recovery exceeds the amountof insurance carried by the negligent party,the remaining amount can be recoveredagainst the injured party's own insuredpolicy. By this law, the legislature closeda loop-hole where, for example, thecatastrophic type injury occurs yet thenegligent party carried the minimumamount of insurance required by CaliforniaLaw. Despite the nature of the injuryand the liability of the negligent party, theinjured party was limited to a recovery ofthe minimum amount.There are certain limitations as to whenan uninsured motorist claim can be made.In order to curtail fraud, if the uninsuredmotorist is the owner or operator of a hitand run vehicle who fled the scene, the injuredparty must report the accident within24 hours to the local police or highwaypatrol and file a written claim under oathwith his or her insurance company within30 days of the accident. If the claim is fora hit and run vehicle there must be physicalcontact between the two vehicles in orderfor the claim to qualify. If the unknown or"phantom" vehicle merely forces the injuredparty's vehicle off the road, withoutphysical contact, there is no coverage.Another favorable aspect of uninsuredmotorist coverage allows for an injured partyto recover even if the injury occurs whileriding in a friend's car that is involved inan accident with an uninsured vehicle. Theclaim can be made under both your ownpolicy as well as your friend's.

June, 1991 Notebook Page 9Right HereIn River Cityby Bill Hemby,COPS LegislativeAdvocateCops Are on Trial at the Capitolhe fallout over the L.A. incident justT keeps on rolling. I was in Senate IndustrialRelations Committee recently,testifying on improving our cancerpresumption law, when committee chairman,Senator Bill Greene (D) L.A., tore intome over the Rodney King incident. Theremainder of my testimony resulted indefending police actions, not police cancer.In the meantime, several bills are beingheard "dealing" with the L.A. incident. Allof these bills are bad for police officers, andin this current climate of "police bashing,"may have a good chance of passage.The worst is Senate Bill 1261, bySenator Ed Davis (R), Northridge. SenatorDavis was, years ago, Police Chief of LosAngeles, as well as a past president of theLos Angeles Police Protective League.Something must have gotten lost over theyears, because Ed Davis is no friend torank and file law enforcement officers.Under the Davis bill, every uniformedcop must immediately restrain or arrestanother cop whom he or she observesengaging in felonious use of force. If youdon't - it is a felony.It gets better - every police officer whohas actual knowledge as to the felonioususe of force by another police officer hasto immediately report that use of force tothe appropriate authorities. If you don't -it is a felony.The bill goes on to say - "Any peaceofficer engaging in the felonious use offorce, who fails to immediately adhere tothe order ofl another uniformed peace officerto cease and desist is guilty of interferencewith a peace officer under colorof law . . . a felony.Xanadu Gallery900 North PointSan Francisco, CA 94109(415)441-5211Davis explains "felonious use of force"as: "force that both clearly exceeds theforce necessary for a peace officer to legallyarrest or subdue a suspect." And thatcomes from a conservative Republicanlawmaker!Now imagine just what QCC can dowith that? Can you see yourself at the nextpublic disturbance, the front line is fightingoff the demonstrators while the back lineis arresting the front line! It's kind of like,"Hit a Crook - Go To Jail!"Assemblyman Bill Ferguson (R) NewportBeach, another conservative Republican,has Assembly Bill 183 which reads: "a lawenforcement officer present at the place ofa lawful or an unlawful assembly who willinglyand knowingly uses pain compliancetechniques upon any person assembledwhose participation in the assembly ispassive, is guilty of a misdemeanor." Youcan pick them up, but if it hurts - you arein trouble. Bill Ferguson is worried aboutpro-lifer demonstrators being hurt whenthey picket the local Planned Parenthoodshop.Then there is AB 1114, by Assemblymember Archie Hudson (D) L.A. This billsays: "Every peace officer has a continuingduty to abate and report any and allviolations of... (the Penal Code). . . whichare enforceable by that peace officer, andthis duty includes, but is not limited to,situations where those laws are violated byother peace officers. Any violation. . . shallbe presumed to be negligent behaviour onthe part of that peace officer unless rebuttedby clear and convincing evidence thathis or her action or failure to act wasreasonable." AB 1114 also allows an aclionfor damages against the peace officerfor violating these provisions. As you cansee, it is not a fun year for us at the StateCapitol.Craig Condemnationby Gary DelagnesAnyone who knows me is aware of thefact that remaining quiet on certain issueshas never been a strong point of mine. Ihave remained uncharacteristically quiet forthe past few months about CommissionerGwen Craig because I didn't, in any way,want to hurt Rich Cairns' chances beforethe Police Commission.I attend the weekly comedy show at thePolice Commission every Wednesay night.The usual routine features John Crew, andhis band of radical idiots, attempting to dictatepolicy for this Police Department. I canthink of no other city in this country thatwould give the credibility to the likes ofJohn Crew that he enjoys in S.F. I havebeen intrigued with Commissioner Craigsince the first time I was introduced to her,during Gorbachev's visit to S.F. When introducedI noticed she was wearing afigurine of Lenin, the father of communism,on her lapel.Since that time I have become disgustedwith her apparent open contempt for policeofficers in general, while sitting on a supposedlyunbiased Police Commission.Craig's completely unwarranted attack onmyself, Jim Deignan, and the new P.O.A.Executive Board in an interview she gavewith a gay newspaper only exemplifies herobviously preconceived conclusion that allpolice officers are barbaric homophobeswho cruise the streets of our city searchingout homosexuals to harrass and beatHer behavior during the Rich Cairns'hearing, cuminating with her self-servingpolitical tirade at the conclusion, was adisgrace. It was so obvious from the startthat Craig had made her mind up longbefore the hearing that Rich Cairns wasguilty. Gwen Craig is guilty of violatingeverything she claims to represent. A predeterminedbelief that all cops are thesame, that all cops are homophobic, andthat all cops are enemies of the gay community.She has done more to damagerelations between the Police Departmentand the gay community than any cop everycould. That Gwen Craig is allowed to sitin judgement of any police officer contradictseverything the Police Commissionsupposedly exemplifies. I, for one, call forher immediate removal from the PoliceCommission. But then, when did anyoneat City Hall listen to a cop? We are just thepawns they use to play their little politicalgames and further their own politicalcareers.415.441.1001Fax: 441.86161001 California St.,San Francisco, CA 94108TheTo: All PolicemenYou assure security of our CityPaintingWe assure you of our Nice & Right Furniture!LadyNICE & RIGHT FURNITUREMarge JoefredaHome Comfort SpecialistsOwnerTel: (415) 821-2123621-19662710 Oakdale AvenueSan Francisco, CA 94124North Beach524 Union St. In JLf398-19522 SatellitesOpen 7 NightsDANCE TO THE MUSICof THE 50's & 60'sFRANK BRUNOI I INational Education Centers, Inc.2039 Clement StreetRichmond DistrictSan Francisco, CA 94121HEE CHAN TRAVELSUE CHAN(Owner)Air Ticket:(415) 221-7085Bus Ticket:(415) 752-0737(415) 752-0738PdBryman Campus731 Market StreetSan Francisco, CA94103415/777-2500We Train You To Become An:• Optical Technician• Dental Assistant• Medical Assistant• . .

He noticed a largemale standing behind a woman who wasseated in the rear of the kitchen and uponobserving Officer Granados, the male produceda large knife, grabbed the female andviolently stabbed her several times in thehead.While the other persons fled the room,Officer Granados moved towards thesuspect and only when all other personshad exited the room, he drew his servicerevolver. While the suspect used the victimas a shield and continued to stab thevictim, Officer Granados remained calmand within seconds carefully weighed thisdangerous situation until he was able to geta clear shot at the suspect. At that precisemoment, he fired one shot, striking thesuspect in the face and allowing the victimto escape the brutal attack.The victim was treated for numerousstab wounds and the suspect, who has ahistory of violence, was treated for a gunshot wound and booked for attemptedmurder.With total disregard for his own safetyand only seconds to assess this deadlysituation, Officer Granados fired only oneshot, striking the suspect, which ended thisviolent situation, clearly saving the life ofthe victim.For these actions, he is awarded thedepartment's second highest award, theSilver Medal of Valor.BRONZE MEDALOF VALOROfficers Mario Machi andJerome DeFillipoIn May Qf 1990, Officer Machi and OfficerDeFillipo responded to a call of a manwith a gun at the Army Street HousingProject.The officers separated and began searchingfor the suspect, and shortly thereafter,Officer Machi observed one individualholding a shotgun while talking to a secondsubject seated in a vehicle. Officer Machithen drew his revolver, identified himselfand ordered the suspect to drop theshotgun.The armed suspect immediately turnedtoward Officer Machi and aimed a fullyloaded cocked shotgun at him, With innocentbystanders in the line of fire, OfficerMachi opted not to fire but took cover andcalled for back-up while covering hissuspect.Officer DeFillipo immediately respondedfrom his location, pointed his shotgun atthe aimed suspect and ordered him to drophis weapon, which he did. At this time, thesecond suspect exited her vehicle and,while yelling obscenities, approached theofficers in a threatening manner, refusingorders to stop. This second suspect thenjumped at Officer DeFillipo, grabbing thebarrel of his shotgun and a struggle ensuedfor control of the shotgun. Officer DeFillipowas able to retain possession and controlof the weapon until additional officersresponded and assisted in controlling andarresting the suspects.For their actions in successfully disarmingthese dangerous persons and completingtheir arrest, considering the safetyof others, they are awarded the BronzeMedal of Valor.shooting at 7th and Market Streets. Theofficers, anticipating the suspect's directionof travel, headed toward Jones and GoldenGate where they were joined by OfficerJames Garrity, who was also working inuniform. As all three officers neared the intersection,they received further informationthat the suspect had disarmed andshot two security guards. They were alsotold that a man matching the descriptionof the suspect had just run into the far cornerof the lot where they were now located.As the officers entered the darkenedparking lot, advancing, they saw movementat the far side and as they reachedthe midpoint of the lot with no cover orconcealment, the suspect confronted theofficers by raising his weapon, pointing italternately at each officer and shoutingunintelligibly.As the suspect continued to ramble incoherently,the officers attempted to talkthe suspect into dropping his weapon buthe refused.The officers advanced slowly to withinseveral feet of the suspect as one officerverbally distracted him while the other twomoved to advantageous positions. At thispoint, when confronted by the bold andcourageous actions of the officers, thesuspect dropped his weapon and was immediatelytaken into custody by the officerswithout further incident or injury to anyone.For their actions, they are awardedBronze Medal of Valor.MERITORIOUSCONDUCTAWARDCAPTAINJOHN E.

The second columnyou see is labeled "Retirement Pick-up." Ifyou have ever noticed in your pay stub youcontribute about $270 per month towardsyour retirement. Most cities pick up all, ora portion of that amount for theiremployees with the exception of L.A.which makes up for it by paying their policeofficers a higher base salary.The next column refers to how mucheach city contributes for each officer, andhis family, monthly, for a medical/dentalplan. As you can see, the norm is about$400 per month so we have fallen waybehind in this important area. The third columnrefers to POST pay incentives thatjust about every other city in the state pays.Most of the members in our departmentwould qualify for either an Intermediate orAdvanced Post certificate which is basedon a combination of time in the businessand education. I have based my figures onthe highest POST award given in eachsurveyed city. The final column adds thebase pay, along with the Retirement P/U,along with the full family Medical/Dentalpackage, and finally the POST pay.The final column shows the amount ofthe full package each city offers. I am sureyou can see how far we are behind and cansee the reason for our optimism. If we didnot have Prop "D" there would be nonegotiations, nor would we be getting araise this year with the inclusion of Fresnoand Sacramento in our formula.

June, 1991 Notebook Page 15OTPOST 456in 1988, 20 years after his tour in Vietnamwith the Marine Corps.(Continued From Page 1)(Continued From Page 2)if compensation is proper. Three importantfacts the Courts generally look at are thefrequency of the call-backs, the duration ofthe call-backs, and whether the employeeis subject to discipline for late or missedcalls.Employees who are required to wearbeepers during their off duty hours mayalso be entitled to FLSA overtime compensation.The fact that the employee carriesa beeper does not in and of itself invokethe overtime provisions. Federal regulationsstate that if an employee is merely requiredto leave word as to where he or shecan be reached on-call time is not compensable,(29 CFR § 785.17). Thus, in manycircumstances a beeper solves theemployer's concerns about paying for theemployees' on-call time. However, if bylooking at the facts of the situation it canbe determined that the employee's time isso circumscribed that it can no longer bedeemed his or her own, the employeeshould be compensated regardless of thefact that a beeper is worn. The followingcases help illustrate the factual analysisthat goes into a Court's determination ofwhether compensation for on-call time isproper.The facts of Brock u. El Paso NaturalGas Co., 28 WHC 629 (5th Cir. 1987), ledthe Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to findthat no overtime compensation was due fortime not actually spent working becauseemployees had sufficient discretion overtheir on-call time. The employees of ElPaso Natural Gas Co. were required to beon-call in rotating shifts, were given widelatitude to determine who would be on-call,were able to send for a backup if they wereunable to fulfill their on-call duties and werepaid for the period they were waiting forthe backup to arrive, and were able tospend the on-call time with their familiesin the manner they choose so long as theemployee remain within hailing distance ofthe station and the alarm which soundswithin the on-call employee's residence.The case of Bright v. Houston NorthwestMedical Center, 29 WHC 905 (5thCir. 1989), provides an example of the typeof circumstances which lead a Court tobelieve compensation for on-call time maybe proper. Upon denial of defendant's summaryjudgment motion, the Court foundthat a hospital employee who was requiredto be on-call 24 hours per day, 365 daysper year, who was required at all times tobe able to return to the hospital within 20minutes, and who had no backup personfor relief, was not as a matter of law usinghis on-call time predominantly for his ownpurposes. The Court stated that the issueof compensation for the employee's on-calltime was to be determined at trial and noton summary judgment.In Renfero v. Emporia, 29 WI-IC 1049(DC Kansas 1989), firefighter's on-call timewas determined to be so circumscribed asto effectively restrict the employees fromusing the time for their own pursuits, andthus, was compensable under the FLSA.In this case the firefighters were subject tomandatory rotating 24 hour on-call duty.rr cht ZTtIraxb !LTThe on-call firefighter was called to dutywhen the regular duty staff fell belowminimum staffing levels and when aminimally staffed unit was called out.Following the return of regular staff the oncallemployee was relieved from duty. Oncallemployees were actually called in towork on an average of 4 to 5 times per shift(and up to as many as 13 call-backs pershift) via their pagers and were on call foran average of one hour per call-back. Whileon-call shift trades were possible, they weredifficult to accomplish, and while not requiredto remain at the fire station, thefirefighter was required to be able to resondwithin twenty minutes of the call. A writtenreprimand was given to all firefighterswho did not respond within the requiredtime and this reprimand was taken into accountin determining performance evaluations,discipline, and termination. Thefirefighters were restricted from obtainingsecondary jobs, from traveling beyond theirpager range, and further than twentyminutes from the station. They hiredbabysitters for their on-call days and werehesitant in partaking in activities which requiredexpenditure of money as they werelikely to be called in.Officers are entitled tocompensatory time off at time andone half.Compensatory time off for overtime islikewise subject to the same principles andguidelines of Garcia and the FLSA overtimeprovisions. An officer who performsmandatory rotating rebooking duty whichrequires overtime work for any given payperiod is to be compensated for this overtimeat time and one half. The fact that thisduty is compensated for in time off ratherthan in pay is of no consequence.Conclusion.While overtime pay is applicable to stateand local government employees under theFLSA, in the case of pay for on-call duty,a case-by-case determination must bemade. The threshold test is the degree offreedom the employee experiences duringon-call duty, yet there are important factswhich seem to distinguish one case fromanother. If the employee is frequentlycalled-in, spends a signifcant amount oftime during each call, has little or no flexibilityin scheduling on-call duty, or is subjectto some form of reprimand or punishmentfor late or missed calls, the Courtsseem to be inclined to grant compensationfor the employee's time.The FLSA principles for overtime payapply equally to compensatory time off inlieu of pay and time off is to be given atJime and one half.TheMatterhornrteoSwissRestaurantfor reservations call(415) 885-6116•2323 Van Ness AvenueSan Francisco, CA 94109Bay Terminal, Main and Mission Streets.Please get the word out to any homelessveterans you run across.

Last week however, JoelHarms pointed out a blurb which was inthe San Francisco Chronicle. It stated,"Robert Loggia and David Caradine havebeen cast to co-star in '1St Force,' a moviebased on a true story of the victories andhardships of an elite Marine outfit that wentbehind enemy lines during the VietnamWar." That could only be the First ForceReconaissance Company. I served with 1stForce in Vietnam in 1968 and early 1969.I guess I'll have to see it. Force Recon Companyseems to have been the least publicizedelite unit in history. It's about time theygot some well-deserved recognition. I urgeeveryone to see the movie when it comesout.I would like to close this month's columnwith a poem for the benefit of those of youthat might be less than sympathetic to theplight of our homeless veterans.

MD.500 Spruce Street, Suite 204San Francisco, Q. 94118(415) 752-8702by Joe Allegro, Park StationOnce upon a time, the captain of apreviously eminent station had feelings of"fostering mentalities." "T---- T---" (as hewas commonly referred to by the workingclass) immediately started the process ofeliminating those who posed a threat tohim and his protegee.One of those on his hit list was contactedand told of the impending transfer.The reasons told are "feelings, nothingspecific." Feelings such as "subtle insubordination,marginal performance, negativeattitudes, and subtle non-conformity toorders" are given. Later, the clairvoyantcaptain puts these "feelings" in writing, addingmore allegations of "a cavalier attitude,D-17 complaints, and the ostracizing ofthose who exercise more assertive supervisoryauthority." "Still nothing specific, justfeelings" and no documentation.A grievance is filed and a hearing held.MOTORIST(Continued From Page 8)husband may also claim damages for lossof consortium for injuries to the spouse orwrongful death.Conclusion:In considering the purchase of auto insuranceyou must be acutely aware of notfalling into the trap of believing that insuranceis only to protect you if you are asubject of a lawsuit. Most people take wisecounsel in realizing that they must haveadequate coverage to protect those assetsthey have acquired in a lifetime such as ahome or other material wealth and thuspurchase adequate insurance against thechance they may be sued. But many takeshortcuts on insurance coverage becausethey believe they are judgment proof" orfeel there is little chance of recovery againstthem should they be sued. What they haveforgotten or don't consider is they mightbe a victim of an uninsured or underinsuredperson. This also applies to thosewho believe they have adequate insuracnein terms of litigation protection, but don'tconsider the ramification of the damage inflictedby the under-insured or uninsuredmotorist. Most insurance policies allow foruninsured and under-insured motoristcoverage to be purchased up to limits ofthe bodily liability insurance coverage purchasedunder the auto policy. The additionalinsurance only costs several hundreddollars more, but this extra few dollars amonth can protect against the catastrophicinjury.The Chief avoids the meat of the issue withhis concern of the "station" becominganother L.A.P.D. (Rodney King) incidentand the current operating "clique." The onlyallegations discussed are those of "not talkingto lieutenants and avoiding them."Another new allegation. What happenedto all the others? The $100,000 questionended up being, "I-low do you get alongwith female lieutenants?"Since that time, the grievance has beendenied "in the best interests of the Department"and the transfer implemented. Arbitrationwas requested and an impartialmediator agreed upon by both sides.Late last week, it was decided towithdraw the request for arbitration. If thearbitration was won, it would requirereturning to the new non-existing eminentstation.Captain, thanks! It's not everyday onehas the opportunity to disembark prior tosinking.In closing, I've offered this article and feelvery strongly about its ramificationsbecause of personal tragedy experiencedby my family. In 1987 my mother wasstruck and killed while crossing a street inSan Francisco. The driver had a minimumamount of auto insurance as required bylaw. My father settled under the policylimits for this amount. He then claimedagainst his and my mother's auto policy forthe minimum amount they carried.No monetary value can ever replace alife. But the situation my father was left inis one faced by every married couple withtwo spouses working. My mother's incomewas now lost, an income that was contributingto their future retirement, and anincome that was contributing to the currentwelfare and future welfare of both ofthem. There is no value you could put onreplacing my mother's life, but this tragedycreated an additional burden for my fatheras he considers that time when he will wantto retire.I shared the experience after speakingwith my father in the hopes that should acatastrophic situation arise to one who hasread this column, this column might havehelped to relieve one small aspect of thepain and worry.(Ed.

June, 1991 Notebook Page 17-..---- 04 N FRANC —'For Additional InformationPhone PAL 821-141101 ksPAL otcp O'C1104 111*0S0601*4*Ron ExleyDir. Program Developmenten aPark Safety TopNeighborhood ConcernCalifornia Office Of Criminal JusticePlanning Research UpdateThe word "park" conjures up idyllic imagesof rolling acres of grass, leafy trees,the distant sounds of a softball game, andchildren at play, lost in their own worlds.Unfortunately, the current reality, especiallyin large cities, is quite different.Many parks today have been disruptedby the invasion of gang members, drugdealers, addicts and transients. The result:graffiti, litter, violence ... even death.Perhaps the most dramatic such incident- and one that created headlines aroundthe world - was the April, 1989 attack ona woman jogger in New York's CentralPark. The woman was chased into a gullyby teenagers who then beat her, raped herand left her for dead.Last Fall, a group of 160 parents andchildren marched on Sacramento's NorthgatePark to protest the death of a sixyear-old-girlwho was killed when she wascaught in a gang-related drive-by shootingat the park.Despite the ever-increasing violence,determined park directors are fighting back.They are working with local law enforcementand the community to take back theparks and make them, once more, the sfecenters of neighborhood life they used tobeṪhe first step, in most cases, has beena clear recognition of the problem. Parkdirectors and staffs are not to blame for thecrime and violence that has invaded theirdomain; rather, the problems of gangs anddrugs are community-wide and have spilledover into every corner of the city - evenparks.After pinpointing the problem, parkdirectors must essentially rewrite their jobdescription. They can no longer focus exclusivelyon leisure and recreation activities;instead, they must become safety directorsas well.Creating a safe and secure park environmentrequires two approaches: the shortterm,which calls for direct securitymeasures to fight off criminal influences,and the long-term, which calls for usingpublic relations to galvanize the communityfrom apathy to involvement.Letter To Al HowensteinExecutive Director OfCriminal Justice PlanningIt is the San Francisco Recreation andPark Department and the SFPD throughits PAL program that is making parks inSan Francisco safe. As you have said,"problem-oriented policing is vital in cityparks, where the complex issues of gangs,drugs, drinking and violence affect communityresidents, local youth and parkstaff."One of the key terms of our program hasbeen the designation of off-duty police officerspatrolling the parks and organizingactivities for the youth. These specialpatrols in the park were organized by localcommunity groups in an effort to return theparks back to its youth and seniors.Although law enforcement is an importantpart of keeping parks safe,neighborhood involvement is the key aswell as park staff providing constructiveleadership or activities.An example of this occurred last fallwhen neighbors, community leaders andpolice created the special patrol of BoedekkerPark in the Tenderloin demanding anend to the violence, drinking and drug dealingthere. One day last year, I counted 400people loitering and drinking in the park.Within 6 months, the park is cleaner andsafer. The other day oly 25 people werehanging around in the park. Attendance atthe Recreation and Park sponsored activitieshas risen 49%.Parks are a very important need foryoung people by providing recreational andsocial services. Children need to bephysically as well as mentally educated.The opportunities to participate in physicalactivities that emphasize character-buildingskills - such as cooperation, respect forothers and for oneself, offers the youth importantlife lessons.We should realize youths often joingangs out of a need for companionship,camaraderie, identity and belonging. Also,drug abuse often is facilitated by a perceivedlack of positive alternatives, low selfesteemand negative peer pressure. Adultswho share the responsibility for shapingyoung people's lives should be familiar withjuvenile behavior and work to direct theirneeds toward more positive, socially acceptablealternatives to gangs and drugs.Offering physical education and outdoorrecreation are not panaceas for youth involvementin drug and gangs. But providingsafe, welcoming parks with coordinated,age appropriate activities is an importantstep that parks and recreation leaders cantake to most effectively posture themselvesas key players in youth drug abuse andgang suppression efforts.The SFPD and the Recreation and ParkDepartment are proud of the joint programsat Oceanview and Boedekker Parks;NRA and PAL Team Up To EducateChildren On Rules Of Gun SafetyFederal officials estimate that there areclose to 200 million guns in the UnitedStates. Guns are in approximately one-halfof all American households. Ownershipranges from BB and pellet guns to sportingand military guns. There is a greatchance that children will come in contactwith a gun at some time during their younglives. Relatives and neighbors own guns,often hidden, but the possibility exists thatchildren may find them. From their earliestawareness, children are exposed to gunsthrough cartoons, television shows andmovies. Their curiosity is aroused. Thisprogram is designed to teach young childrenhow to be safe around guns.The Gun Safety program is forKindergarten through 6th grade and it willbe inaugurated into the Drug EducationDepartment.Two safety practices are taught to thechildren!1. Only with a parent or with parental permissionand adult supervision should achild be around guns.2. Stop. Don't touch. Leave the area. Tellan adult.The purpose of this program is to promotethe protection and safety of children,not to teach whether guns are good or bad.Parents are encouraged to teach valuesand good judgement to their children regardingproper use of guns.Sacramento Prepares Ringside ForNational PAL Boxing ChampionshipSacramento, California site of the"California Gold Rush" in the 1800's, willbe the location of the "Gold Rush" in 1991.Gold medals that is.Beautiful Arco Arena is where the topamateur boxers in the country will convergeupon in October to vie for theprestigious title of National PAL BoxingChampion. The champions will join theranks of other PAL boxers such as "WorldChampions" Tony Lopez, Loreto Garza,Evander Holyfield, Iron Mike Tyson and"Smokin Joe" Frasier, to mention a few.Monty Morse, Executive Director ofSacramento PAL and whose PAL BoxingClub has produced two world champions,is really excited to host one of the bestamateur boxing tournaments in the world."We have been seeking this championshiptournament for a long time and we're excitedabout having it just prior to the Olympics.We're sure that the serious boxers inthis event could very well end up on theU.S. Olympic Boxing Team," says Morse.Sport channel America will televise theevent from Arco Arena, home of the NBASacramento Kings.San Francisco PAL's Jimmy Ford will bethere. Coach Vigil, get to work, createthose winners.Two PAL Cadets Help MuniWipe Out GraffitiIn the upcoming months, you should seea lot less graffiti on Muni buses and trainsif the innovative, new anti-graffiti campaignproves as effective as its organizers hope.Muni's Graffiti Prevention Program hasrecently implemented several graffiti cleanup,education and prevention projects. Theprograms aim to keep the city free of scarringscrawl and to channel frustrated youngartists' energies in positive ways.Youth who are caught writing on Muniproperty and elsewhere are put through arigorous program.Kids who are caught are put throughPAYS (Parent and Youth Session). Thatis where the real enforcement occurs. Theygo through an educational session aboutwhy graffiti is wrong with their parents, andthen they go out with the young counselorson Saturdays to clean up graffiti.Youth counselors Polo Gonzalez (PALCadet), Paul Silk (PAL Cadet), KeithJones, Verdell Martin, and WalterArgumedo provide positive models for theyoung offenders and a necessary link totheir adult authority figures. The counselorssupervise the Saturday clean-up."Most of the kids we work with say theydo graffiti because of peer pressure," saidGonzalez. "We let them know there areother ways to express themselves."The prevention program seeks to dealwith all aspects of the graffiti problem andto give viable alternatives to youths.Muni received a grant from PacificTelesis to implement the Graffiti PreventionProgram. The program on the wholecosts less than cleaning graffiti.What's HappenedApril 25th, Dan Boden led 50 youthfrom Flynn School to Marine World.April 26th, thanks to the Bass Foundation,especially to Hilary for her leadership,47 youth also from Flynn School boardeda Muni Bus for Pier 39.

That actionis being undertaken through AB 401 byAssemblyman Bob Eppie at this time.We believe that the present law givespeace officers sufficient authority withrespect to any offense that is committedby any person including anotherpeace officer.Any act which could be construed tobe a felony committed in the presenceof a peace officer is obviously a judgmentcall by that officer. An officer'ssubjective discretion must be trusted togreat extent since no other persons areable to judge the context wherein thatjudgment is rendered at that moment intime. For the first time, under this bill,acts of omission rather than co-missionare grounds for a felony prosecution.We disagree with this policy ascounter-productive. Obviously, the LosAngeles incident has shaken that publictrust, thus we understand the impetusfor such a bill. However, we believe thismeasure is an over-reaction and may, infact, endanger officer safety and morale.We believe the statewide rank andfile officers' response to the problem,AB 401, is appropriate since it examinescurrent agencies' use of forcepolicies, training needed to distinguishsituations which require the use offorce, training which guides the use offorce, and stress management whichallows an officer to maintain clear judgmentso that situations requiring use offorce can be handled appropriately.Until these policies and training proceduresare reviewed and recommendationsacted upon, we believe it ispremature to create new crimes andnew potential criminals out of peace officerswho are attempting an extremelydifficult job, or perhaps, without propermeans to handle the job. It is for thosereasons that we must oppose SB 1261.Sincerely,Jeff ThompsonChief Legislative AdvocateCalifornia Correctional PeaceOfficers AssocaitionOur Lady of Guadalupe Church908 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94133Phone: (415) 885-0437Mass SchedulelHorario De MisasSaturday Vigil: 4:30pm-7:00pmSunday: 8:00am (English) 9:00am (Chinese)10:15am (English) 12:15pm (Spanish)l:OOpm (English)Weekdays: 7:30am/7:00pm12:00 noon /(Friday Only)Holidays: 7:30am/12 noonI7:00pm(All English)LEFor All YourInsurance NeedsERIC Liu INSURANCE AGENCYEric Liu3410 Geary Blvd, Sutie 335San Francisco, CA 94118Bus.

June, 1991Loon's Nest Reportby Ed GarciaTom Del Torre - Man of IronsIt was a blustery but beautiful day, at LincoinPark, where the ocean meets the bay.Lincoln Park Golf Course, the oldest continuousoperating golf course west of theMississippi River (according to SF Park &Rec), played host to the 1991 Loon's NestGolf Club's 'Irons Only" tournament Thirtyfivegolfers, armed only with their irons,competed in two handicap groups and inlow gross competition. Leading the pack inthe low gross division was Northern StationsTom Del Torre, who came throughwas a fantastic round of 73. Second placein low gross division went to a long timeloan making a comeback to tournamentgolf, Tom (YConnor. One of the fine playersout of Traffic Company, Tom was right onDel Torrds heals with a blistering 74. It wasgood to see Tom back in tournament form,as Tom is a former Northern Station Invitationaland P.A.L. Tournament champ. MikeYee, who comes to us from Fry's Golf Shopin South San Franciscq took third in lowgross with a fine round of 77. Mike had avery consistent round, staying out of troubleand hitting the greens.In the first flight competition, threecharter members of the Loon's Nest GolfClub battled it out First place when to MikePaulsen, one of the founding fathers of theclub. Mike had a fine day with his irons andcame in with ,a blazing net 65. Althoughmany people are not aware of Mike's priorsporting accomplishments, Mike Paulsenwas one of the finest all around athletesproduced in Northern San Mateo Countyand is probably the finest athlete tograduate from El Camino High School inSouth San Francisco. Second place wentto retired member Mike Brady, formerly ofPark Station. Mike, who is always tough intournament golf, had a net 68, as he pickedup his second trophy in as many Loon'stournaments. Third place went to HarryPearson. Although Harry is busy playingsoftball, basketball, golf and just about anyother sport, he made time to play and walkaway with another trophy. Let's not forgettht Harry Pearson is also a former NorthernStation Invitational champ from years goneby.The second flight competition was extremelytight, as three players came in withnet scores of 62. The three way tie wasbroken by matching scores from holenumber 1. This gave first place to noneother than Northern Station's own ArtStellini. Stellini had a big day as he alsotook home a trophy as one of the winnersin the closest to the hole contest. Stellinihas now brought home three trophys in 6months time and is planning to add atrophy room onto his home. He is acceptingbids from qualified contractors. Secondplace went to Joel Harms. Joel is a formertraffic man who has found a place at Co.E and now has made his mark with theLoon's Nest Golf Club. Harms gives a greatNotebookdeal of credit to his new one iron, whichhe purchased shortly before this event.Third place went to Jack Kowal. Jack hadnot played a tournament or any golf forquite some time, but Jack decided to makehis comeback in excellent form. Hopefullythis will get Jack back into the swing ofthings and he will play in all the Loon'sevents. Lt Bill Petrie, formerly of Co. E tookhome a trophy, as he was also a winner inthe closest to the hole contest.When all was said and done on thecourse, the Loon's went into Thiggy'srestaurant at Lincoln Park for a banquetand cocktails where the awards werepresented. We now look forward to ourJune northward migration to Windsor,where we will be playing the 1991 Loon'sNest Golf Club/Trinity Construction InvitationalTournament. Hope to see you there.Torn Del Torre, 1st place, low grossPage 21Low Gross LeadersDel Torre 73O'Connor 74Yee 77Pearson 81Garcia 81Paulsen 83Mar 83Brady 83Parenti 871st Flight Net ScoresPaulsen 65Brady 68Pearson 69Garcia 70Davis, Ken 71Mar 73Parenti 74Whitney 782nd Flight Net ScoresStellini 62Harms 62Kowal 62Roualdes 66Wismer 66Barry 67Siragusa 68Buono 69Machi 71Canedo 72Zalenski 73Ballard 77"B" Division SoftballPlayoff Picture Shaping UpTalk about even competition, despitetwo and a half months of hotly contested"B" Division softball the playoff picture isstill unresolved. As of now, the five playoffspots have already been filled (see standings);but, "who will be playing who" is thequestion. A first place finish in the divisionwould mean a bye throughout the playoffsuntil the championship game, while secondplace plays fifth and third place playsfourth. The winner of these two gameswould play to go to the championship aswell.The team to beat all season long hasbeen the Paramedic Ringers who havebeen frying to run away with the league at10-wins and 0-losses, and it's being doneamidst much controversy. Everyone in theleague is up in arms about them using illegalplayers, but the Ringers won't haveany of it. "What's the big deal?!", a playerwas quoted as saying. "No one cared whoplayed for us when we were the doormatsof the league the last few years, and someof the same players who are in questionthis year played then."The Park Station Islanders at 7-wins and1-loss still have a chance to knock theRingers out of that coveted first place position.With three make-up games to beplayed, including one against the Ringers,the Islanders literally control their owndestiny. After winning their first four gamesby forfeits, the Islanders finally had to playa little ball before their rousting barbecues.They played well, winning three gamesover the SF Airport, NM's, and SouthernStation, and losing only one to theBulldogs 13-3. It was a close game earlywith the Islanders taking a 3-1 lead into thesixth inning, but the "Dogs" finally woke upand exploded for twelve unanswered runsto turn it into a rout.The Bulldogs finished their season witha solid 9-win 2-loss record which is the bestshowing in the history of the team. Theywere on a tear with decisive victories overSouthern, Mission, and CHP, and theycontinued the roll with an exciting 5-4squeaker over Taraval Station. It was a finepitchers' duel between Jim Drago and TomLovrin that was decided in the bottom ofthe ninth when the Dogs' Steve Rochesingled home the game winner with thebases loaded and one out. It was a goodattempt by Roche to make up for his verysuspect play while filling in at third base inrecent games, but others don't see it thatway. An unknown Irish guy from the NM'swas quoted as saying, "There's no makingup for the hatchet job that guy Roche hasbeen doing in the infield!" while anotherunknown Irish guy said, "That old mancouldn't catch a cold while in a blizzardnaked!"The NM's have been on somewhat of a"high horse" recently after securing aplayoff spot with decisive victories over FBIand CHP in their final two games of theseason. They ended up with a 7-win 4-lossrecord ands are considered the "dark horse"in what will be very stiff playoff competition.They'll be fourth or fifth place dependingon what Taraval does in their lastgame which is being made up against theIslanders.Taraval has been reeling lately with fourlosses in their last five games leading to adrop from first place to fifth. There hasbeen some dissension amongst teammatesrecently, and that situation wasn't helpedmuch when they suffered another tough1-run loss this time at the hands ofSouthern Station 14-13. "It was an upsetin the sunset!" quoted Southern playerCabs Recinos. His "Brooks Robinson"type plays at third base was a key in thevictory. The other key was Al Honnibal's2-run homer in the top of the ninth thatcompleted a comeback of an earlier 7-rundeficit. This game helped Southern endtheir season on a positive note, whileTaraval is hoping to regroup in time for thefirst playoff round scheduled for Tuesday,June 11th.SOFTBALL TRIB NOTES: LeagueCommissioner Layne Amiot is anxious forthe playoffs to get started, but he's not sosure he wanted the season to end just yet.His bat came alive recently when he beltedout two home runs in one game during aMission Chihuahua loss to the Bulldogs.Amiot beamed proudly, "The Commissionerstill has some 'pop' left in his bat!"NOTE: Second playoff round scheduledfor Thursday, June 13th, and the Championshipis Tuesday, June 18th.PLAYOFF OUTLOOKOF TEAMSTHAT CLINCHEDWon LostPARAMEDICS (RINGERS) 10 0PARK (ISLANDERS) 7 1NORTHERN #2(BULLDOGS) 92NORTHERN #3 (NM's) 7 4TARAVAL (?) 64Torn O'Connor. 2nd place, low grossilkpMike Paulsen, 1st place, 1st flightArt Stellini, 1st place, 2nd flight'TIKING CONEICE CREAM2542 San BrunoAvenueSan Franciscc,CA 94134Bus:(415) 468-4939Hicks Realty & Mortgage1633 Bayshore Highway, #120, Burlingame, CA 94010-1507(415)697-9500 FAX (415) 697-0100PROPERTIES FOR SALESan Francisco and San Mateo CountiesProperty Trades • Equity SharesLow Low Down PaymentsNo Qualifying • Easy AssumptionsTrust Deeds Arranged and PurchasedNoe Valley Units Noe Valley Units Excelsior Homes1315-1315A Sanchez 1520-1522 Sanchez Many to ChooseGreat Financing Great Terms Low DownsLots More Properties Available inSan Francisco and on the PeninsulaJeremiah Buckley • 697-9500Member S.F.P.D. • Co.

We haddeparted the uni-fleet dock in Mazatlan,Mexico 45 minutes earlier at 6:45 a.m. Themate, "Shark", and I had just finished riggingmy rods when "Killer" (the young skipper)punched the big diesel and turned the"Playboy" slightly southward. From thehelm atop the flybridge, Killer had spottedthree sailfish rounding up a school of baitfish.He maneuvered the "Playboy" so thatthe spread of lures turned in front of thesails. The left side fish charged andsmacked the outside lure with his bill.As he continued to flail the lure, I pickedup the rod and attempted to tease him intostriking. The sail played with the lure butwould not strike, so I flipped the lever dragreel to freespool and let the green/yellowBoone Striker sink. As I counted, the sailsubmerged after the lure. When I reachedsix, I flipped the drag to strike and jiggedtwice. I was rewarded with a crashingstrike. I set the hook hard five times.The ocean erupted 100 feet behind theboat as the sail walked on his tail shakinghis head from side to side attempting tothrow the lure. Shark reeled in the otherrigs as my drag screeched and the sailgreyhounded towards Hawaii. After eightor ten more jumps and runs, I had the sailalongside the "Playboy" and we could seehis colors light up and dim with his efforts.Shark grabbed his bill and lifted him partiallyout of the water while I carefully removedthe hook from the side of hismouth. As Shark slowly worked the sailback and forth in the water prior to release,I marveled once again at the beauty andpower of this spectacular game fish.By 1:00 p.m. I had caught and releasedtwo more sails, and had two nice Dorado(aka Mahi Mahi) of approximately 25-40pounds in the fish box. I pulled three icecold Pacificos from the cooler and climbedthe ladder to the flybridge. As Shark, Killerand I saluted, we turned and headed forhome. I sat back and replayed each fish inmy mind.Thursday:What is that horrible noise? Oh no, itsmy wake up call. I stagger to the showerand try to rinse away the pain. Why didI have that sixth, seventh, eighth and ninthmargarita? The Mariachis were in rare form(and so was I). I manage to get dressed anddrag my gear through the lobby to the cab.The ten minute ride to the Marina doesn'thelp. Mi compadre Ricardo (unifleetmanager) says "Como esta, amigo?" "Muymalo," I reply. The coffee and sweet rollsdon't help. I climb aboard the "Playboy"while Killer and Shark look at medubiously.Maybe this is a mistake. As we head outfrom the breakwater I can tell it's going tobe hot. At least the ocean is flat calm. I liedown on the bunk covering my face withmy hat. Why is the diesel pounding soloudly? I don't even try to help Shark withthe rods. I must have dozed off. Suddenlythe right inside reel is screeching. I manageto get up and get to it just as Shark jumpsfrom the flybridge (narrowly missing myhead with his feet.) A large Dorado jumpsten feet in the air as I try to get my mindand body working together. Finally I settledown and enjoy the show as he continueshis aerobatics. Almost 15 minutes later heis glowing at the stern. After several shortruns, Shark hits home with the gaff and Iadmire this 51/2 foot long, 50 pound greenand yellow beauty.I don't feel quite as rotten. We reset thelines as Killer calls from the helm andpoints to some boiling water several hundredyards to starboard, dolphins and porpoisejump and spin in the air while seabirdsdive and splash. We quickly reel inand change to Tuna Clones and Zukerslures. As we pass ahead of the frothingscene two reels sing. I take one and Sharktakes the other. A third reel screams... itwill have to wait. In a short time I swinga ten pound yellowfin tuna over the sideand into the fishbox. I quickly remove thehood and reset the line.I put the rod in its holder and start to turnaway when it bends double and the reelscreams. I pick it up and work on anothertuna. The action continues non-stop for 45minutes. I am not unhappy when the fishstop hitting. Killer, Shark, and I wipe thesweat from our faces and salute with icecold cervecas. As we rerig with marlin luresI realize that the pain is gone. I let mythoughts wander to other days in paradise.Not a bad description for Mazatlan ormany other places that I have visited inMexico in pursuit of Marlin, Sailfish,Dorado, Wahoo and Tuna. Lapaz, theEast Cape, San Jose and Cabo San Lucas,Puerto Vallarto, Manzanillo and Barra DeNavidad. At certain times, the fishing canbe spectacular. Beautiful hotels, greatrestaurants, nightlife and some of thecleanest most uncrowded white sandbeaches in the world await the angler whojourneys to Mexico in search of seamonsters and good times.Adios amigos!-çPrice Includes: Round trip air on Mexicana Airlines • 7 days, 6 nights atthe Riviera Mazatlan -2 days fishing on 34-38 ft.

June, 1991 Notebook Page 23Olympic Weightlifting withSteve Goughby Steve Gough and Dennis BianchiThe below information was submitted bySteve Gough, of Richmond Station, afterI called him up and asked him to fill us inon his successful weightlifting team, a teamcompeting not just locally but all over theworld. Steve sent along the informationand photos, extolling the team membersand the community that supports the club.in his modesty he left out a few importantitems of information, which I would like toadd to the article, along with some observationsgleaned interviewing Steve andfrom my very limited experience with thesport of Olympic Lifting.First, Steve coaches these athletes fromhands-on experience. Steve won't cop outto his awards but I've watched him lift inyears past and he was impressive, if notoutright scary. His involvement with thesport is so intense that he has been electedthe President of the U.S. WeightliftingFederation's Pacific Association. He wasthe head coach of the 1988 Junior Pan-Amteam and the 1989 Olympic Festival teamin Oklahoma, sponsored by the UnitedStates Olympic Committee. Steve, obviously,is the real thing.One of his best students is his son Tom,who snatched 314 pounds and cleanedand jerked 385 pounds while a mere 19years old and weighing only 181 3/4 pounds.Another Department member, LanceLogan, has a son, Tim, successfully competingat Steve's gym.Several years back I attempted to get inshape for these events at The SportsPalace on Valencia Street. With a coachand all the equipment needed at hand,along with a good deal of desire, I went atit. There are only two other times in mylife I have been so completely spent afterworking out and one was after runningtwenty-six miles. Olympic lifting is truly exercisefor the whole body and mind. Withthe proper coach, such as Steve, you willlearn how to become stronger, yourbalance and coordination will improve,your heart and lungs will get a workout andyou will learn to concentrate. Olympiclifters are very well-rounded athletes. Inspite of its demanding nature, Olympic liftingcan be done for years. There is an80-year-old man working out at Steve'sgym, and Steve said many of his morecompetent lifters are in their 59s.Well, check out what Steve has to sayand give some thought to checking out thisform of exercise yourself, perhaps atSteve's gym in Fairfax.I started the Fairfax Olympic WeightliftingClub in the summer of 1985 with agroup of local Mann High School kids fromSan Rafael, Terra Linda, Drake and MainTom Gough engaging in the toughestpart of the lift, mental preparation.Catholic. Since inception, over one hundredboys and girls have trained and competedfor the club. Our alumni includes fourNational Junior Olympic Champions, twoNational Junior Champions, six NationalJunior Squad members and two formerOlympians including Ric Eaton, 1984Olympic Team Sixth Place in theHeavyweight class and 1987 OlympicFestival Gold Medalist and a member ofthe 1987 U.S. Pan American team.Recently two of our Junior Athletes,Tom Gough (19-year-old coach's son), thisyear's National Champion the 82.5 kg.(181 3/4 lb.) class and Jasha Faye, 18 yearsold and a senior at Drake High School, andsecond place finisher at the National JuniorChampionships, were selected for andcompeted in Wolmirstedt, Germany (oldEast Germany) this May in the JuniorWorld Weightlifting Championships,finishing eighth and eleventh placerespectively.Last summer, after a cooperative effortof local Mann political and business personalities,the Mann Weightlifting teammoved into a 4,000 square-foot building onthe campus of Drake High School in arenovated machine shop. The trainingcenter subsequently was named an officialUnited States Weightlifting FederationRegional training center. The center conductsthree to five competitions yearly andcoaching/training clinics. It is open toanyone for a modest donation of $10 permonth. It is located at Saunders andTaylor, the east side of the Drake Highcampus.

My sources havelet it be known that some of us have beenhard at it this spring. Let's start with LouPerez. In April he ran a 28:50 at theShoreline Park 5-miler, about 5:45 permile. A few weeks later he ran 33:54 at theLodi 10K and won his age group. That'sjust slightly over 5:20 per mile and Lou isjust getting warmed up. On May 18 heloaded his bicycle into his car and droveto Davis for the Davis Double Century.This 200-mile bicycle ride is usually too hotfor such a distance, but this year - what adifference. Rain, wind and freezingtemperatures made the mountainouscourse (2,000 feet gain in altitude) trulypunishing. Lou needed 12 1/2 hours to completethe course and a few days rest torecover.Lou wasn't alone at Davis. Several highqualitychampions were present as well.Our very own Jeff Brosch, known for histoughness, tenacity and endurance, as wellas winning a lion's share of awards, wasgrinding it out, just behind Lou. Jeffpointed out that the first six hours it wasraining and blowing. Jeff doubled up on hisclothing, worked like a mule and still wascold, cold, cold. Jeff was luckier than DavidMoon, S.F. Assistant D.A., and nationallyranked triathlete. David had to contendwith the same elements but adding to hismisery were flat tires and broken spokes,yes plural. All three athletes finished thisheroic trek and should be congratulated,or maybe psychoanalyzed. One otherhighly respected participant in this eventwas Paul Solon. All Paul ever did was winthe Race Across America, which is exactlywhat it sounds like: long, tough and wononly by the elite.NEW LISTINGLARGE FAMILY HOMEIn Central Novato. 3 Bedroom,2 bath, family room, den/study,panoramic view. $299,500This month's tip from the American Runningand Fitness Association: It's never toolate to get in shape. Many studies havedemonstrated that no matter what age youbegin an exercise program, you can expectto improve your physical condition just aseffectively as those younger than yourself.The studies showed that both aerobicfitness and strength can be improvedremarkably by participating in a regular exerciseprogram, even in sedentary groupsof people in their middle and late 60's. Ofcourse, if you have been sedentary andyou're no longer under 30 years old youshould check with a physician and startyour program slowly, but you should start.From The Journal of Applied Physiology:"Regular exercise improves the quality oflife and reduces the impact of diseasessuch as diabetes, high blood pressure,heart and artery problems, and some formsof cancer." What a reward for a few dropsof sweat.Well, for those of us who want to adda race or two to our training, here's what'sup soon. June 15 is the Sequoia Hospital'sRun by the Bay 10K and 5K in RedwoodCity. June 16 is the Macy's - AYH GreatSan Francisco Bike Adventure. June 22 isthe S.F. Giant's Run to Home Plate 5K.June 23 is the City of San FranciscoMarathon. The Fourth of July has raceseverywhere - you pick one and have fun.July 7 is the date for this year's Hook andLadder Race. We hope we are competitivethis year against the S.F. Fire Department.There's time to get in shape, so if you'reinterested let Lou Perez know.

ORJUST OUT OF THEIR MINDS? NewMexican authorities in Gallup haYe comeup with a great idea to solve the city'sserious problem with public drinking (theseriousness of the problem is illustrated bythe fact that cops in Gallup average 26,000drunk arrests a year).The brilliant solution that the powersthat-became up with establish a "drinkingzone" in a canyon north of the townthat could be developed into "an attractivedevelopment for alcohol abusers".I think San Francisco has already triedthis... it's called Sixth Street!IT WAS WORTH IT... EVERY PEN-NY: An innovative court settlement inTexas allowed a defendant to save$50,000 and probably gave the plaintiff agreat deal of satisfaction.A defense lawyer, with the approval ofthe judge, set up a deal that allowed theplaintiff to beat him up rather than collectsome $50,000 from the defendant in a liabilitycase. Maybe this will start a trend injurisprudence circles.., attention publicdefenders!AN HONEST DAY'S PAY FOR ANHONEST DAY'S WORK: A sheriff inWashington recently was rewarded forknowing how to "play the game". SheriffJoe Collins had been having a tough time:he was arrested and tried for theft and perjury(he managed to beat the rap); next, anaroused populace mounted a recall drive(he again managed to beat back his detractors);finally, he fought a hard battle for reelection(this time he lost his valiant fightand was defeated).Sheriff Collins' reward for his hard times:the local disability board awarded him fulldisability payments. The disability awardwas made for "stress incurred in the lineof duty".IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE...SOMETIMES: Narcotics officers inSouthern California found a "clue" whileserving a search warrant on one of theirlocal "clients".

All information regarding the applicationis kept strictly confidential.Once the application is approved themember will be assigned a recipient identificationnumber to keep the member'sidentity confidential. As in Sarah's case,members certified as catastrophically ill canidentify themselves and make their IDnumber known to other members so as totake advantage of transfer hours fromother members.Persons wishing to donate vacation/sicktime have the option of choosing a specificmember to give their time to, or they cantransfer to any person in need. This isespecially beneficial and rewarding forduty volunteers who, for one day in eachDecember, learn the real spirit ofChristmas.None of this would be possible withoutthe financial support of the San FranciscoPolice Officer Association's CommunityServices committee, chaired by BobHuegle. Our volunteer group takes over1,000 Polaroid snapshots of children withtheir own personal Santa and that alonecosts a great deal.If you're not already donating 52 cents,that's 52C, that's a little over half of a fulldollar, to our Community Services Committee,you're really missing out on a greatdeal.Your miniscule investment will bringsmiles to young faces who usually don'thave much to smile about.Enrollment forms for the monthly donationof $1.00 to the SFPOA CommunityServices Committee will soon be mailed toyour home address - your contributionmeans a lot!!those members who have "maxed" out ontheir time and are at the verge of losingtheir hours if the time isn't used.To donate sick leave or vacation time toanother City & County employee, you:• cannot be catastrophically ill yourself;• must be eligible to accumulate and usesick leave and vacation credits; and• must retain a minimum of 64 hourssick leave for your own personal use.For members to donate their sick leaveand/or vacation time, a Donor's Vacation!Sick Pay Transfer form must be completed.This form is available from theSFPD Payroll!
