Words Pay No Debts 

s the Journal goes to print, scores of police officers and 

firefighters lay buried beneath the ruins of the World Trade 

A Center. As public safety officers, we grieve. We extend condolences 

to the families and friends of all those who perished, or are 

still missing. We strive to print on this page the words that will truly 

express our rage, our dismay, and our absolute revulsion for the events 

that unfolded on Tuesday September 11, 2001. 

We feel the need to say something profound. What universal tribute 

could we possibly invoke by which to praise at once so many 

fallen heroes? Their deeds outspeak us all. This is not the time for 

New York Police Department 

Survivor Trust Fund 

By Chris Cunnie 

SFPOA President 

We are still talking with our counterparts in New York but it is still too 

early to realize the full extent of this tragedy. We have established a trust 

fund through the SF Police Credit Union for anyone who wishes to make 

a contribution to the members of our police family on the East Coast. 

(Checks may be made payable to: The NYPD Survivor Trust Fund and 

mailed to the SF Police Credit Union, 2550 Irving Street, SF CA 94122, 

Account No. 1357110. 

I will remain in contact with the representatives of the police officers 

in New York and I'll make sure you receive updates as to their needs as I 

receive the information.___________________________________ 

eulogy. Not while hundreds remain unaccounted for. Not while the 

desperate search continues around the clock for the trapped and missing 

brethren. Mass tributes take time, and just now, there's none of 

that to spare. At best, we can only reiterate that which each of us has 

already thought or prayed: God Bless all of our brother and sister 

public safety officers, their families, and their undaunted, steadfast 

coworkers. 

Certainly, we have seen the images of cranes plucking twisted girders 

from the pile. We have watched the backhoes clearing away tons 

of debris. Yet, it seems that the pulse of the moment, the heartbeat of 

the sorrow is not detected in the clamor of machines. Rather, we get 

a different sense of it all. There is a more solemn cadence, one perceived 

more by the eye than the ear, and by which we must weigh 

the singularity of this loss. 

We cue to those toiling upon the wrack, searching for survivors 

one-by-one in what might be decried as the awful silence of the rubble. 

There, we witness brigades of police officers, steelworkers, firefighters, 

laborers, and all manner of proud New Yorker standing shoulder-toshoulder 

passing buckets down a line. As the rescuers scoop and scrape 

and sift away the grit from glory, we watch the buckets pass hand to 

hand, and mark the measure of their effort. 

Let us, then, a brigade of mourners, pass praise along like words in 

buckets; extolling each brave soul, one to the next, as we utter words 

beneath our breath like . . . Honor.. .Valor.. . Duty. . . Debt...

NEWS 

By Greg Corrales 

'So nigh is grandeur to our dust, 

So near is God to man, 

When duty whispers low, Thou must, 

The youth replies, I can. 

—Ralph Waldo Emerson, 

"Voluntaries" 1863. 

eptember 13, 2001 was the fiftieth 

anniversary of the death of 

S Joseph McKenna. Private First 

Class Joseph Andre McKenna, United 

States Marine Corps, was born in San 

Francisco on 5 May 1931. He was a 

member of Company D, 2nd Battalion, 

7th Marines, 1st Marine Division. 

He was Killed in Action while fighting 

the enemy in Korea on 13 September 

1951. Joseph McKenna's twin sister is 

Mary McFadden, mother of Sergeant! 

Inspector Joe McFadden of the Domestic 

Violence Unit. 

Joe McFadden's family has an extraordinary 

history of service and sacrifice. 

His grandfather James, the 

McKenna family patriarch, was 

wounded in action while serving in 

World War I. Joe McFadden's mom 

Mary had four other brothers. Her 

brother James McKenna was a Marine 

wounded on Tarawa. When his 

wounds had healed, James returned to 

combat and was Killed in Action on 

Saipan. Mary's brother Frank was a 

crewman on a B-29. He was Killed in 

Action over Frankfurt, Germany. Joe 

McFadden's two other uncles also 

served their country. His uncle George, 

who passed away last year, retired as a 

Marine Corps Lt. Colonel, after thirty 

years service. His fifth uncle, Leo 

McKenna, was severely wounded during 

World War II at Guadalcanal while

serving in the Navy. Fortunately, he recovered 

from his wounds and survived 

the war. 

Retired SFPD Sergeant Louis 

Barberini, a life-long friend of the 

McKenna/McFadden families, had the 

honor of being one of Joseph 

McKenna's pallbearers back in 1951. 

He and nine others purchased a Memorial 

Plaque at the Marine's Memorial 

Club. The Memorial Plaque was in 

honor of PFC Joseph A. McKenna and 

his brothers James and Frank. The 

Memorial Plaque is still on display at 

the Marine's Memorial Club, 609 

Sutter Street. The plaque can be easily 

located on the sixth floor, left, top row, 

#2. 

The McFadden/McKenna families 

also have quite a history of community 

service. I don't think that there is 

anyone in the Noe Valley that doesn't 

know or know of Joe's dad, "Doc" 

McFadden. He is revered throughout 

the Noe Valley. After the death of her 

son in Korea, Joe's grandmother 

Artemise, for many years mailed 

bundles of clothes and other items to 

Catholic nuns for distribution to Korean 

War refugees. Her brother, Joe's 

great uncle, the late Francis Latulipe 

was the San Francisco Police 

Department's very first Criminologist, 

back in the days of the old Hall of Justice 

on Kearney Street. 

Continuing the family tradition of 

service, Joe McFadden has distinguished 

himself as an outstanding 

police officer since the moment he was 

sworn in as a San Francisco Police Officer 

in 1989. He has followed the example 

of his brother Mike, who was a

.Numb: 

he "Attack on America" numbs 

us. Our lives will never be the 

TI 

same. But before we can get on 

with our life's work, we must take time 

to grieve and mourn the terrible loss 

we have suffered. You can post a message 

of condolences to the members 

of the New York Police and Fire departments 

via www.worldcops.com ... 

.IPA: 

On September 13, 2001, Region 9 

of the International Police Association 

hosted a dinner for officers from Scotland, 

England, Luxembourg, South 

Africa, Germany and Crete. IPA Region 

9 President, Heather Fong, arranged 

for our visitors a tour of Pac Bell Park 

followed by refreshments and dinner 

at the Mariposa - Hunters Point Yacht 

Club. During dinner the group was 

entertained by the Police/Fire Bagpipe 

Band, SFPD Lion Dance Team, a magician, 

and an accordionist. Our foreign 

visitors were very thankful of the hospitality 

extended them and expressed 

their warmest regards for our entire 

nation and their support in our time 

of need... 

jobs: 

Our Police and Sheriff departments, 

as well as a variety of federal agencies 

are recruiting. United States Naval 

Criminal Investigative Service - 

www.ncis.navy.mil - United States 

Department of Labor/Office of the Inspector 

General - www.oig.dol.gov - 

U.S. Customs Service - call (202) 927- 

2816, press option 2, leave name, address 

and home phone number, and a 

pre-screening examination will be sent 

to you... 

.Retirement Testimonials: 

Such a large number of officers are 

retiring that it is impossible to attend 

all the testimonials. If one cannot attend 

a scheduled function, the best 

thing to do is to send the organizer a 

$20 check. The contribution will help 

enhance the honorees gift and send a 

message that you're thinking of him/ 

her. Recent events held or scheduled 

honor the careers of Ron Ray, Maria 

Monje, Michael Sullivan, Marty 

Sacco, Ted Schlink, Sharon Hedges- 

Hiller, Gene Travasero, Rich Cairns, 

Curt Cashen, Don Ross, Jay Holle, 

Rich Benjamin, and Jim Taylor. 

There might be a few names that I 

missed. My apologies... 

• Loans: 

If you are in the process of apply- 

ing for any type of loan and need to 

document your future salary increases 

you can go to the City's Official web 

page (www.ci.sf.ca.us/dhr) . You will 

find our contract, as well as all the 

other city contracts, in the Department 

of Human Resources section. The loan 

officer can then compute, calculate 

your loan and future salary increases, 

and place a copy of the contract in the 

file prior to presenting the application 

to the loan committee/officer... 

.Security: 

How good is our security at the Hall 

and the District Stations? It is only as 

good as how vigilant each one of us 

is. We probably should revisit all the 

incidents from the past, especially the 

ones from the early 70's and refresh 

ourselves of the lessons learned. Also, 

we should remember the basic academy 

patrol principal of "never being 

routine"... 

• .Direct Deposit: 

If you have direct deposit with your 

spouse, or another family member, be 

sure that you monitor your bank statement 

- especially if something happens 

to the other person. Recently a 

bank returned a retiree's check to the 

Controller, with a notice that he had 

passed away when in fact his wife had. 

Needless to say, the entire incident was 

embarrassing to all involved. Fortunately, 

it was not financially damaging 

to the survivor... 

.Real Estate: 

Retirees, Frank Falzon, Dan Hance, 

Jim Ludlow and Dave Gillam are all 

working in real estate. Looks as if they 

are having fun. The business gets them 

out and about, and sometimes they 

visit a golf course or restaurant to discuss 

business... 

.Thoughts/Quotes/Tidbits: 

The following are the thoughts and 

quotes submitted by a variety of officers. 

"We promote people, don't train 

them and then get upset when they 

don't perform." "Rather be truly loved 

by one than known by a 1000." 

Shouldn't our Mission Statement be to 

"Protect and Serve"... "Under the shell 

there is a real softie." "He had so much 

to offer just didn't know how to give." 

"Internalizing too much doesn't help." 

"People want to know what - everything. 

"Child seat law 4 years and 40 

lbs. till 1-1-02 then 6 years and 60 lbs." 

"Remember the siren of an emergency 

vehicle usually confuses the public and 

offers you no protection." "Reminder: 

check to see if you have enough social 

security credits to qualify for medi-care 

and medi-cal remember San Francisco 

public safety officers are not covered 

by social security. Credits must be 

earned in a second job." "If you really 

want to help young people volunteer 

at a school." "The problem is them, 

we are the solution." "In retrospect, 

was it a good move to split off DPT 

and Communications from the Police 

Department?"... 

Computer Tip: 

Craig Farrell, MIS Unit, advises that 

you reboot computers daily, especially 

those with multiple users. Too many 

users cause the settings to fail. 

Rebooting resets the computer...

Discrimination 

San Francisco 

Fellowship of 

Christian 

Peace Officers 

iscrimination in regards to 

race, sex, and sexual orienta- 

D tion is an ugly attitude. It fosters 

hate, ignorance, and intolerance. 

It can be fatal in any society. History 

proves this in World War II, the Middle 

East, Northern Ireland, Africa, East 

Timor, and Serbia. The real question 

is why can't people get along? 

If we are ignorant of a people's culture, 

shouldn't we attempt to familiarize 

ourselves with the foreigner and 

better understand them? With the 

waves of aliens immigrating to the 

United States it would be wise for all 

of us to become acquainted with the 

different cultures which will stifle 

prejudice. In the United States all of 

us are aliens to this North American 

continent except the native Indian. 

Think about it: British, French, Spanish, 

African, Russian, Irish, Italian, 

Polish, Asian, Pacific Islander, Latinos, 

and many others came to the United 

States to pursue a dream of freedom 

and opportunity. 

We expect freedom would also keep 

us from oppression, whether it is from 

the government and its authorities or 

from persons who are different from 

our race or culture. So our United 

States is a blending or "melting pot" 

of different races and cultures determined 

to have the freedoms outlined 

in our Constitution. 

But this blending has not created a 

land of Utopia. We have our scars of 

race wars, homophobic atrocities, and 

estrangement between the sexes. 

What does the Bible teach about 

prejudice? In the Old Testament the 

Israelites were told to treat the alien 

with mercy and justice because they 

too were once foreigners in Egypt and 

were enslaved there. In the New Testament 

we find in the Book of 

Galatians, "There is neither Jew nor 

Gentile, there is neither slave or free 

man, there is neither male nor female; 

for you are all one in Christ Jesus." You 

see if we belong to Christ we are all 

one and equal as far as God Our Father 

is concerned. Even if you don't 

believe in Christ, God wants all people 

to treat each other equally because He 

lets the rain (His blessings) fall on everyone." 

As Jesus Christ said, "Do unto others 

as you would have them do unto 

you." And another scripture is, "Love 

your neighbor as you love yourself." 

I believe we can follow these commands 

if we let the Spirit of God take 

residence in our hearts. All of us need 

to accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah, 

the One who died on the cross for our 

ugly prejudices, and promises to give 

us the Holy Spirit Who will empower 

us with God's love. This true love will 

make it possible for us to accept each 

other without regard to race, culture, 

sex, or sexual orientation. 

Assistant Chief Prentice Earl Sanders, 

S.F.P.D., will be our guest speaker 

on Thursday, October 11, 2001. His 

topic will be on discrimination concerning 

our Department and how our 

community perceives us. Please watch 

for his flyer and attend this luncheon.

Ba y Area Law Enforcement Assistance Fund 

By Marilyn Rosekind 

Board of Directors 

BALEAF REPORT 

t was 43 years ago last month (August, 

1958), that my husband Barry 

I R. Rosekind was killed in the line 

of duty. He was a SFPD solo officer who 

made the ultimate sacrifice and left 

behind two young sons, Mark only 3 

1/2 years old and Gary, just two years 

old, and me. After Barry was killed, I 

received some minimal level of financial 

support (his pension at that time 

was $550 a month). However, there 

was no other support from the SFPD 

and it felt as if I had been forgotten, 

by family. 

In 1998, there was a dramatic 

change in this attitude. On May 6, 

1998, the first memorial in recent history 

was held in Union Square to 

honor the 92 SFPD officers killed in 

the line of duty. It was on that day that 

I learned of, and became active in, a 

Grief Support Group headed by Sergeant 

Forrest Fulton of the SFPD Behavioral 

Science Unit. I learned that 

the Department had made many 

changes to help the families of fallen 

officers. For example, the Grief Support 

Group met once a month at Treasure 

Island and helped survivors address 

the many difficult and diverse 

issues that they faced without their 

spouses. The dedicated efforts of a few 

professional facilitators made a tremendous 

difference to the many families 

that attended these meetings. Yet 

there was still much more that needed 

to be done. 

One significant advance was the 

creation of the Bay Area Law Enforcement 

Assistance Fund, Inc. (BALEAF), 

formed in September, 1999 as a California 

Public Benefit Corporation. 

BALEAF's mission is to provide support 

to law enforcement families who have 

lost a family member killed in the line 

of duty, been seriously injured, or experienced 

a catastrophic event. The 

Board of Directors and many others are 

working hard to raise funds to support

BALEAF's mission. As Vice President of 

BALEAF, I am contributing my efforts 

and resources to make changes and 

support this important cause. Under 

the direction of now Director Forrest 

Fulton, the Behavioral Science Unit, 

BALEAF, and a group of fellow officers 

are working to assist the men and 

women in the 

Department, to support surviving 

family members, and to be a "family" 

in the face of horrible circumstances. 

As a surviving spouse, I also fully 

endorse the Charter Amendment that 

Stephanie Bloesch, widow of Officer 

James Bloesch, wrote about in her letter 

to President Chris Cunnie in the 

July 2001 issue of the POA Journal. 

Stephanie explained the hardship that 

she will face when her survivor benefit 

becomes a retirement benefit. This 

is an area where there has not been 

much progress over the years, because 

I went through the same situation. 

Even though we have both worked to 

support our families, the loss of income 

has a severe negative effect on 

our families' financial status. Please 

help to get the Charter Amendment 

on the ballot this Fall and passed to 

support survivors' families. 

I also would like to thank the POA 

for their important help in getting the 

"Fallen Hero Survivor Benefit Fairness 

Act of 2001" (HR 1727) passed into law 

on June 5, 2001. I am very grateful to 

the POA for all of its efforts to get this 

legislation passed. THANK YOU! 

Whenever a member of the SFPD 

family' is killed in the line of duty, it 

cuts to the core of the daily risk taken 

to serve the citizens of this great city. 

Yet other "family" members, within 

the Department and among spouses 

and children, survive and must continue 

to face an uncertain future. Recently, 

the SFPD has made great 

progress in supporting these many 

survivors. There is much more to do 

and every member of our SFPD family 

should find some way to participate 

in, and support these important efforts.

Dedication of 

Plaque for 

Sergeant Jack 

V.Young 

By Marsha Ashe 

On August 27, 2001 officers of the 

Ingleside Police Station and the Police 

Officer's Association hosted a dedication 

of a plaque to Sergeant John 

Young. Sergeant Young was killed in 

the line of duty 30 years ago. Monsignor 

Heaney, The Honorable Frank 

Jordan and Deputy Chief Gary 

Pisciotto - who all knew Sergeant 

Young - spoke befor a modest crowd 

of guests and retired officers. Their 

speeches showed great respect, admiration 

and fondness for Sergeant 

Young. 

Less obvious to the casual observers 

were the efforts of Officer Val 

Kirwan, Officer John Mulkern, Officer 

Jerry Sarin, and Officer Rich Andrews. 

These four "newer" officers .worked 

diligently to make this day a success. 

Their work included a general station 

clean-up, landscaping, personally engineering 

a sound system, "borrowing" 

a podium, arranging for the caterer, 

designing a plaque and contacting 

a huge network of people who 

came through for them every single 

time. The event was a remarkable tribute 

to Sergeant Young's memory due 

to the contributions from the POA and 

the work of Officers Kirwan, Mulkern, 

Sarin and Andrews.

- Deputy Chief Gary Pisciotto's Speech 

At Jack Young Dedication 

On a very quiet, unusually mild, 

Sunday evening thirty years ago, I 

walked out of this station, stood at this 

very spot with my partner, moments 

after telling Sergeant Young that I 

would return in a few minutes with 

an ice cream for him. A young woman 

approached us and though I said good 

evening to her she simply walked past 

me sporting an odd grin. I thought 

there was something strange about her 

and said as much to my partner but 

we proceeded to leave the station. 

To this day I regret not being able 

to detect something that would have 

helped me understand that this young 

woman was to become an accomplice 

to murder. How could I have known 

that she was there to gather intelligence 

for the would-be assassins secreted 

to the west of the station on 

Highway 280? 

Within a few minutes while at the 

intersection of Monterey and Forrester, 

Officer Nick Eterovich broadcast that 

the station had been attacked. I was 

23 years old, with less than one year 

in the Department and I was not prepared 

for what I was to see upon my 

return. The station was riddled with 

bullet holes, in the lobby as well as the 

upper floor windows. The worse was 

yet to come.

ment at a time when police and other 

members of the criminal justice system 

throughout the country were under 

attack I never expected that it 

would happen so close to home. 

I raced into the station to find out 

that our clerk Nina had been wounded 

and that Jack Young, the man I had 

just been talking to in the office a few 

minutes before, the kindest, most 

thoughtful of individuals was murdered. 

His life was taken by people who 

hated him for one reason, he wore a 

police uniform. His life was taken by 

murderous cowards who shot him as 

he was approaching the window to 

help them. 

Helping people is what Sgt. Young 

was all about. I have fond memories 

of driving the sergeant throughout the 

district. As I drove he would wave and 

smile at everyone. Sometimes I cringed 

as Sgt. Young was waving and smiling 

at people that were returning a far less 

friendly universal gesture. With all the 

waving and smiling it felt like I was 

driving the pope mobile. In fact we use 

to call Sgt. Young "father john" behind 

his back and say things like, "he's too 

nice to be a cop". 

In fact he was exactly what we strive 

for in officers today. He did his job and 

he did it with dignity and treated the 

public with the utmost respect, even 

during those times when some of us 

thought that a person's actions didn't 

merit that kind of treatment. 

Case in point, Sgt. Young was booking 

a murder suspect and as the suspect 

was being led to the holding cell, 

he stopped, turned towards Sgt. Young 

and thanked the Sgt. for treating him 

like a human being. 

The Department was very different 

in those days. There was no Behavioral 

Science Unit; there were no peer counselors. 

Other than making a statement 

at the Homicide Detail the Department 

never asked me how I felt about 

this horrible event. We were expected 

to, and did return to work the very 

next day. Talking amongst ourselves, 

always asking the question what if... 

To this day I still ask myself what if? 

Today I thank Captain Ashe and her 

fine staff for this commemorative 

event and plaque but more importantly 

for taking the time to research 

this tragic event so that current members 

of this Department, many of 

whom were not yet born, fully understand 

what a fine person Sgt. John 

Young was. He should never be just a 

name on a street sign or a plaque and 

this event prevents that from happening. 

I pray that this Department never 

again experiences a tragedy such as 

occurred on August 29, 1971.

By Michelle Jean 

arch 18th, 2001, Northern 

Station. A 79-year old 

M Alzheimer patient had wandered 

away from her home on Page 

Street. Northern units had searched 

continuously for her throughout the 

night but didn't locate her. 

The following day, search responsibility 

was given to Officers Steve 

Mannina and Douglas Arnold. The 

officers responded to her residence to 

obtain a current photograph from her 

husband. They then began to methodically 

retrace the areas already 

searched. Officer Mannina searched 

the walkway between the buildings 

and located the missing woman lying 

on the cement behind a gate. The officers 

rendered first aid until an ambulance 

arrived. She was transported 

her to a hospital to be treated for exposure. 

Apparently, the missing 

women had returned to her home 

some time during the night and 

stumbled and fell to the ground along 

the walkway. The diligent search by 

Officers Mannina and Arnold resulted 

in them locating the woman before 

any further harm could happen to her. 

Great job, guys. 

May 20th, 2001, Park Station. Officer 

Juan Gala spotted a traffic violator 

at Fell and Schrader streets and attempted 

to pull the vehicle over, but 

the driver had other ideas. The driver 

took off in the vehicle at a high rate of 

speed. Officer Gala, not one to give up, 

gave pursuit. The suspect, seeing that 

he was getting nowhere fast, changed 

tactics and bailed out of the car to 

make a run for it. (I hope this suspect 

had his running shoes on!) Officer

watched as the suspect removed his 

jacket and shirt ran up a flight of stairs, 

and then jumped onto an adjacent 

property. Officer Gala called a Code- 

33, forced open an alley door, and captured 

the desperate suspect just as the 

he jumped from a stairway onto the 

ground. The suspect started to struggle, 

but Officer "Superman" Gala was too 

much for this mere mortal suspect, 

who was soon in handcuffs. Officers

Bill McIntosh arrived to assist with the

June 22nd, 2001, Tenderloin Station. 

Officers Joseph Fischer and 

Gary Peachey were conducting a surveillance 

operation in attempt to observe 

narcotics activity. They didn't 

have to wait long before witnessing a 

female suspect selling crack cocaine to 

a male subject. The officers moved in 

and placed the female into custody. 

Officer Peachey conducted a pat 

search and found on her a loaded .32 

caliber pistol. She was transported to 

the station and told that a female officer 

was going to conduct a more thorough 

body search. The suspect, seeing 

the gig was up and not wanting to be 

stripped searched, did the smart thing 

and turned over a large amount of 

crack and powder cocaine. This arrest 

resulted in a seizure of a large amount 

of narcotics and a handgun being removed 

from the streets of San Francisco.

Hurley located a vehicle matching the 

description with one occupant aboard. 

They called for backup and attempted 

to get the suspect out of the car. The 

suspect ignored their demands and 

kept fumbling around in the interior 

of the car attempting to hide something. 

Backup officers Mallinger, 

Peterson, Hall and Chin arrived on 

the scene. The suspect, seeing he was 

surrounded, gave up. He was placed 

into custody by officers Arndt and 

Hurley. Officers Mallinger and 

Peterson conducted a search of the 

vehicle and located a loaded .380 semiauto 

handgun under the drivers seat. 

Thanks to the quick response and 

teamwork of the officers involved, an 

armed felon was arrested without incident. 

July 9th, 2001, Mission Station. 

Officers Albern Ciudad and Anthony 

Montoya were on patrol when dispatch 

broadcast a report of a burglary 

in progress at a laundromat at the corner 

of 22nd and Alabama streets. Officers 

Ciudad and Montoya responded. 

Officer Montoya, who was driving, 

slowed the patrol car and turned off 

the car lights, hoping not to draw attention 

to their arrival. The officers 

approached on foot, and as they 

neared the Laundromat, they saw two 

suspects at the rear of Alabama Street. 

Startled, the suspects attempted to 

walk away. Not so fast boys! 

Officer Ciudad quickly moved in 

and detained them. Sgt. Ching, Sgt 

Ballard and Lt. Pardini arrived on the 

scene to assist. Officer Montoya, upon 

further investigation discovered a large 

hole in the door of the establishment. 

Lt. Pardini located the crowbar. Next 

to it was a black bandana wrapped 

around a loaded .38 caliber revolver. 

A cold show was conducted and the

witness positively identified the two 

suspects as the ones attempting to 

break into the place with a crowbar. 

Both were placed under arrest and 

whisked away to Co. D for booking. 

The quick response by the officers - 

and their stealth approach - captured 

these burglars before they could complete 

their evil deed. 

July 12th, 2001, Northern Station. 

Officer Ryan noticed a gray Toyota 

stopped at Turk and Gough. However, 

when the light turned green, the car 

didn't pull forward. Officer Ryan instinctively 

felt the driver wasn't pulling 

out to avoid being investigated. 

Ryan got behind the car and ran the 

license plate. He was informed that it 

was a stolen auto out of LA, taken during 

an armed robbery. Officer Ryan 

held off stopping the car until he could 

call a Code-33 and coordinate backup 

response. 

Officers William Conley, Christopher 

Shaffer, Jason Lynch, Joseph 

Robles, Sgt. Roche, and Sgt. Dempsey 

all responded as backup. As a team, the 

patrol units were able to use the heavy 

vehicle traffic on Gough St. to their 

advantage. They positioned themselves 

in front and behind the wanted 

car, surrounding the car before the 

suspects knew what hit them. The officers, 

using tactical police skills, safely 

removed the suspects and handcuffed 

the pair without incident. They then 

separated the two and notified the 

Robbery unit. Insp. Cherniss and 

Paco conducted the follow-up interviews. 

Confessions were obtained, the 

vehicle towed, and both suspects 

charged. The coordinated efforts of the 

officers of Northern Station brought 

this pair of felons to justice. Excellent 

job!

On Saturday, May 18th, 2002, the 

International Association of Women 

Police (IAWP) 2003 Conference Committee 

and the Women Officers Network 

will be co-hosting a Police Officers 

Ball as a joint fund raiser. The Ball 

will be a formal dinner dance event, 

which will also include an Awards Ceremony 

and a silent auction. 

There hasn't been a formal Police 

Officers Ball held in our Department 

since at LEAST the 50's, so we thought 

that bringing it back would be alot of 

fun, and will hopefully bring back a 

very neat, and very old, tradition. 

In that respect, we'd like to try and 

obtain as much information as we 

possibly can about Police Officer Balls. 

(Retirees: You may be able toREALLY 

help us out with this one!) Anyone 

who has any articles, pictures, etc., etc., 

etc., please send them to Inspector Liane 

Corrales from Juvenile, who is now 

the archivist for the Police Museum. 

We'd like to put together a nice display 

to include during our event. 

Special thanks goes out to retired 

Captain John Brunner #820 for a wonderful 

copy of an admission ticket 

from a "Grand Ball" that was held November 

12th, 1885 to benefit the Widows 

and Orphans Aid Association of 

the Police Department. I particularly 

like the line on the ticket that reads 

"The Committee Reserves the Right to 

Eject All Objectionable Characters." 

Until next time, stay safe.

Recruitment News 

By William Murray, 

Northern Station 

What's been happening with the 

department recruiting efforts? 

If you remember, July S,2001 Chief 

Fred Lau, several command staff, and 

recruiters held a press conference at the 

police Academy to kick off the E117 

Q-2 Police Officer Entry Level recruitment 

drive July 6 through July 

27,2001. 

The challenges for the recruiters 

included that most college Campuses 

were either not in session or at a minimum 

attendance because of the summer 

break. However, our recruiters 

were determined and succeeded in attracting 

over 1,400 applicants. 

The recruiters were divided into 

teams that covered San Francisco, 

North Bay, South Bay, and East Bay. 

Officers visited numerous locations 

including the Sacramento Job Fair, The 

Solano County Fair, Sears Pont Raceway, 

The Marine Corps and Navy Recruitment 

Depot. You may have even 

seen us at the 3rd Street Fair, Sigmund 

Stearns Grove or Fisherman's Warf 

area. We went to where the people 

were, and they responded. 

Some Officers made presentations 

at different police units and within the 

community. Members were encouraged 

to help as our survey indicated 

that police employees, friends, and 

associates of law enforcement personnel 

refer approximately 60% of the 

applicants. 

The Recruitment and Retention 

Unit would like to thank Chief Fred 

Lau, the Command Staff, Department 

Employees, (civilian and sworn), and 

employee associations for their support. 

We also had supporters who were 

behind the scenes, The Recruitment 

and Retention Office Staff, Youthworks 

Intern, and SFPD Citizens Police Academy 

Alumni Association Graduates. 

The next recruitment drive starts 

November 26th through December 

14,2001. We're encouraging all members 

to inform us about events and 

activities where recruiters can come 

and make presentations. We're also 

encouraging each member to talk to 

at least one person about a career in 

law enforcement with the SFPD. Each 

one recruits one.

Officer that we lost much too early. It 

is an honor just to write about such a 

remarkable family! 

A reinforced concrete column in 

New Mexico survived a bomb set off 

as a test to help the government build 

better embassies, courthouses and 

other would-be targets of terrorists. 

The 1,450 pound bomb, made of an 

ammonium nitrate mix, was detonated 

the afternoon of 28 August by 

the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's 

local agency, producing a thunderous 

boom heard throughout southeastern 

Albuquerque, N.M., and sending up a 

mushroom cloud of dust. The detonation, 

the last of a series of five tests, 

was designed to test the strength of 

reinforced columns used in modem architecture 

and study the damage to 

model office buildings outfitted with 

crash-test dummies. 

Those Marines seen rescuing terrified 

cast-members in the movie "Jurassic 

Park III" were the real deal. 

About one hundred amtrackers and 

grunts from the Hawaii-based 3rd Marines 

were asked to participate in the 

movie, said Marine spokesman Captain 

Matt Morgan. The off duty Marines 

were sent to the Hawaiian island 

of Kuai and paid as extras for the 

one-day shoot, Morgan said. 

The movie's producers approached 

the Corps and asked if they could use 

Marines to act in the rescue scene. As 

it happens, Marines know exactly how 

to perform this mission and train routinely 

for non-combatant rescues, 

though not from dinosaurs. Marines 

were preparing for an exercise off Hawaii 

anyway, so the men and equipment, 

including amphibious tracked 

vehicles and Navy helicopters, were 

readily available for the one-day assignment, 

Morgan said. 

A monument to the 17 people killed 

in the terrorist bombing of the destroyer 

Cole in Yemen will be dedicated 

at the Norfolk Naval Station, 

Virginia, on 12 October, exactly one 

year after the attack. The memorial, 

featuring a 10-foot-tall monolith encircled 

by 17 granite slabs, is being 

built on a site overlooking Willoughby 

Bay. The estimated $130,000 to 

$150,000 cost of the memorial is paid 

for by private donations from thousands 

of individuals and businesses nationwide, 

said a Navy spokesman. 

Police-Fire Post 456 meets on the 

second Tuesday of every month at

Labor Relations Information System 

Labor Questions & Answers 

What follows are questions submitted 

to us through our web site at 

www.lris.com/questionsl 

questions.html. All of the questions 

have been answered by LRIS Executive 

Director and labor attorney Will 

Aitchison. Please note that the opinions 

here constitute general advice 

only and should not be construed to 

be the advice of an attorney. 

Question: I'm in California. An issue 

has recently come up regarding the 

viewing of our work schedule. At our 

department we keep the police officer's 

work schedules on computer. There is 

one master schedule for each division 

showing all the officers' work days and 

days off. We also mark the schedule 

showing vacation days taken/requested, 

sick days taken, and officers 

who are out on workers' comp. It has 

come up that there may be a problem 

allowing non-supervisory personnel to 

view the schedule since it displays sick 

days taken and officers who are out on 

workers' comp. Is there an FLSA or 

ADA issue if we allow non-supervisory 

officers to view the schedule with this 

information displayed? Are there any 

other potential confidentiality issues? 

Answer: I don't see any FLSA issues 

here - the FLSA doesn't contain any 

privacy provisions concerning an 

employee's hours worked. However, 

the ADA issue is a more complex one. 

The ADA requires an employer to keep 

confidential information about the 

nature and extent of an individual's 

disability. Such information can only 

be disseminated on what could generally 

be called a "need to know" basis. 

Whether these privacy provisions apply 

to information about sick leave 

utilization - which arguably show the 

nature and/or extent of a disability - 

is open to question. A prudent employer 

would probably limit access to 

such data. 

Also, since you're in California, your 

employer is likely subject to the provisions 

of the California Labor Code. 

The Labor Code has a number of statutory 

provisions that are more protective 

of employee rights than federal 

statutes. We'd recommend you check 

with your attorney to see if any of 

those statutes are implicated by the 

employer's practice. 

Question: I am president of an Arizona 

police association. One of my 

new members worked as a police officer 

for another department in Arizona 

before coming to work in our city. 

His old department made him sign an 

employment contract. The contract 

required him to stay three years or reimburse 

the city $5,000 for his testing! 

training. He left his old department a 

few months after signing the contract. 

His former department is threatening 

to garnish his wages for the $ 5.000 and 

$1,600 in attorney's fees. Is an employment 

contract like this one binding! 

legal? If not, where would I find reference 

material to support the officer's 

case? 

Answer: The general rule is that 

such "training reimbursement" requirements 

are legal unless either of 

two conditions exist: 

(1) If the employee is covered by a 

collective bargaining agreement, the 

training reimbursement must be approved 

by the union and cannot be 

imposed unilaterally on the employee. 

If the union has not assented to the 

requirement, the requirement would 

be considered to be impermissible "direct 

dealing"with the employee about 

a mandatory subject of bargaining and 

would be unenforceable. Such "direct 

dealing" situations are often called 

"yellow dog contracts." 

(2)Without regard to whether the 

employee is in a collective bargaining 

unit, the training reimbursement, 

once implemented, cannot either (1) 

reduce the employee below the minimum 

wage, over the time period for 

which the employee worked for the 

employer, or (2) result in the employer 

failing to compensate the employee for 

overtime hours worked. If either occurs, 

there would be an FLSA violation. 

Question: Is it improper for a department 

to have ticket quotas for its 

officers? 

Answer: Courts and employment 

relations boards have held two things 

about quotas: 

(1)They are legal, and are enforceable 

through the disciplinary system; 

but 

(2) They must be negotiated with 

the labor organization before they are 

implemented. These principles are

outlined in a variety of cases, which 

are collected in our book, "The Rights 

of Law Enforcement Officers." 

Question: We recently had an officer 

disciplined. He has been given 

five days to respond to a written order 

to reform in 90 days or suffer termination. 

The evidence used for this order 

was from the patrol lieutenant's personal 

records on the officer which date 

back over a decade and consist of 

memos and notes that have been 

purged from his official personnel 

jacket. The lieutenant states that since 

this is his personal file he can keep 

whatever he wants as long as he wants 

and he does not have to show the officers 

anything that he puts in there. 

There were several items that the officer 

was finally shown that have been 

in there for 10-12 years and he never 

knew those documents had been produced 

much less recorded. What are 

the legal requirements towards records 

such as these? Can an administration 

keep "secret" files on their officers, and 

if so, is there any recourse to get false 

or negative information out of them? 

Answer: The use of personnel files 

is generally governed by provisions in 

a collective bargaining agreement. If 

your collective bargaining agreement 

calls for the purging of old disciplinary 

materials, the employer would not 

be able to evade the purging requirement 

by using materials in a 

lieutenant's own notebook or files. The 

purpose of purging is to give employees 

a clean slate; allowing the retention 

and usage of any disciplinary 

materials outside of the purging requirement 

would violate that purpose. 

The usual manner of redressing 

such issues is to file a grievance under 

the terms of the collective bargaining 

agreement. 

Question: I work for a large sheriff's 

department in Michigan. Our communications 

center is staffed by civilian 

employees. As of the first of the year, 

we were placed on a twelve-hour shift. 

Our pay period is every two weeks. 

Seven twelve-hour shifts works out to 

eighty-four hours. The way I understand 

the FLSA, we should be compensated 

for the four extra hours at timeand-a-half. 

However, our department 

pays us at straight time for the additional 

time worked. This is the same 

for the road deputies. Our union had 

us sign a "wavier of overtime" - 

which I also believe is in violation of 

the FLSA. Am I correct? 

Answer: Law enforcement officers 

and dispatchers fare differently under 

a 12-hour shift. Law enforcement officers 

are covered by the partial overtime 

exemption in Section 207(k) of 

the FLSA, and can be placed on "work 

periods" of up to 28 days in length. 

The overtime thresholds for the work 

periods are longer than a 40-hour work 

week. The 7-day work period, for example, 

calls for overtime to be paid 

after 43 hours of work; the 28-day work 

period has an overtime threshold of

171 hours. 

Dispatchers aren't covered by the 

Section 207(k) amendment, and must 

be paid overtime when they work 

more than 40 hours in a work week. A 

work schedule such as that you've described, 

which involves 12-hour shifts 

that generate more than 40-hours in a 

work week, generate work that must 

be compensated at the time and onehalf 

rate. This right to overtime cannot 

be waived by a labor organization, 

or even by the members themselves. 

The only way around this issue for 

dispatchers to agree to an artificial 

hourly wage. This artificial wage, lower 

than the old hourly wage, would be 

such that the straight time pay generated 

by the work schedule plus the 

overtime pay generated by the work 

schedule equals the old monthly rate. 

This option, called the "work period 

wage," is described in our book "The 

FLSA: A User's Manual." 

Question: Is it legal to pay personnel 

within the same rank, grade, and 

department different hourly pay? A 

firefighter working a 24-hour shift of 

2912 hours yearly makes approximately 

40% less pay per hour as one 

working a 40-hour week or 2080 hours 

a year. This holds true for all non-exempt 

personnel. How can this be legal? 

Answer: In the absence of (1) a collective 

bargaining agreement, or (2) a 

system of pay which distinguishes on 

the basis of race, gender or another 

protected class, there is nothing illegal 

about paying two individuals 

within the same classification at differing 

pay rates. 

Question: I live in Arizona. My 

husband's fire department allows the 

firefighter!emt's to sign up for additional 

overtime for open shifts. The 

department has made it clear that they 

will not allow the firefighter/paramedics 

to sign up for additional shifts because 

they don't want to pay their 

overtime hourly rate. This is happening 

even when the shift that needs to 

be covered is a paramedic position. Is 

this considered discriminatory? 

Answer: It may well be discriminatory, 

but it's not necessarily illegally 

discriminatory. In general, federal and 

state law only prohibits discrimination 

against "protected classes," usually 

groups designated by race, gender, religion, 

etc. It is not illegal to discriminate 

against other individuals - for 

example, it is perfectly permissible to 

refuse to promote someone because 

you don't like their haircut, clothes, 

or where they live. 

Usually issues such as overtime assignment 

are covered in a collective 

bargaining agreement. However, since 

you're from Arizona, where there is 

little bargaining in the public sector, 

the issue may be controlled by local 

personnel rules. In the absence of any 

controlling provision, however, the 

employer's practice here is probably 

legal.

WISH UPON A STAR needs your 

Combined Charities Dollars 

By Rene LaPrevotte, 

Co.K 

The "Season of Giving" is just 

around the corner, and the City is 

again about to appeal to all its employees 

to make a donation to the Combined 

Charities Campaign. The list of 

deserving charities is the size of the 

Petaluma phone book, and certainly 

you can give to any that you prefer, 

but again I am making an unabashed 

pitch for your donation to go to "California 

Law Enforcement's Wish Upon 

A Star Foundation". 

Wish Upon A Star is a children's 

"wish" foundation that is sponsored 

by members of the California Law Enforcement 

community. All the wishes 

granted are done in the name of Police 

and Sheriffs throughout the state. 

Everyone should have seen the video 

taped Chief s Message of August 2001 

where-in several families of "wish" 

children gave eloquent testimony to 

the type of work Wish Upon A Star has 

done through your donations, and the 

"Buzz The Fuzz" campaign. 

There has been recent concern and 

publicity regarding the minuscule 

amount of monies donated, that actually 

go to the recipients of many 

charities. Many are simply "phone 

bank scams" that line the pockets of 

swindlers preying upon your generosity.

Wish Upon A Star has a volunteer

to Wish Upon A Star find their 

way into the hands of the sick children 

the charity was established to 

help. The Executive Secretary of the 

organization is the wife of a career Sergeant 

with the Visalia Police Department. 

I humbly request you make a commitment 

of as little as $5 a pay period 

to go through payroll deduction to 

Wish Upon A Star. I remind you all that 

we just were very fortunate to have 

received a 16% pay raise over the next 

24 months, and five bucks a pay period 

is small but eloquent thanks for 

the public's generosity. All the kids we 

support with wishes come from families 

who have little or no financial 

means to fill their child's wish on their 

own. 

If you care to make a payroll deduction 

or even a one-time donation, 

check the Combined Charities list to 

get our "charity number." If you are 

unable to find it, you can use the Combined 

Charities donation form to

2001 Combined 

Charities Campaign 

By Greg Corrales 

Field Operations Bureau 

Department Combined Charities 

Coordinator 

It is my great pleasure to be this 

year's San Francisco Police Department 

Coordinator for the 2001 Combined 

Charities Campaign. The campaign 

kicks off on 1 October. One of the best 

things about this campaign is that one 

can donate to any charity. If one 

doesn't have a favorite charity, there 

are literally thousands of charities from 

which to choose. There are a number 

of SFPD-related charities which many 

members seem to favor. Some of the 

many are, Wish Upon A Star (my favorite), 

Operation Dream, Bay Area 

Law Enforcement Fund, PAL, The 

Youth Fishing Program, The Wilderness 

Program, and Chinese Hospital. 

As we approach the holiday season, 

this is the perfect time to count our 

blessings and do something to assist 

those less fortunate than us, by participating 

in the Combined Charities 

Campaign. Prior to the distribution of 

the pledge forms, I would like to submit 

to you a few words of wisdom: 

"In necessary things, unity; in doubtful 

things liberty, in all things charity." 

- Richard Baxter 

'I believe.., that the moral sense is as 

much a part of our constitution as that 

of feeling, seeing, or hearing... [and] 

that every human mind feels pleasure in 

doing good to another." 

- Thomas Jefferson 

"Did universal charity prevail, earth 

would be heaven, and hell a fable." 

- Charles Caleb Colton 

"The greatest grace of a gift, perhaps, is 

that it anticipates and admits no 

return." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 

"Charity begins at home, but should 

not end there." 

- Thomas Fuller 

"A strong argument for the religion of 

Christ is this—that offenses against 

charity are about the only ones which 

men on their deathbeds can be made— 

not to understand—but to feel—as 

crimes. 

Edgar Allan Poe 

"He that has no charity deserves no 

mercy."

Re: State & Federal Body Armor Legislation 

Moving Forward. 

Dear Chris, 

Thank you for your letter of support. It came at an opportune 

time. The state and federal effort to restrict criminal access to body 

armor continues to make progress across the country. In the past 

two months, legislation modeled after the California bill (AB 1707, 

'The James Guelff Body Armor Act 1998') has passed in Oregon, 

New York, South Carolina, Texas and Maryland. In addition, similar 

legislation is pending in several other states making this a productive 

year for us. Having twice passed through the U.S. Senate, we 

were also successful last month passing through both the House 

Subcommittee on Crime and the full Judiciary Committee. I am 

hopeful that final passage of the legislation will occur this fall, prior 

to the seven year anniversary of the Franklin and Pine shooting in 

San Francisco on November 13th. 

The motivation for the legislation remains the same. Encounters 

with heavily armed and armored criminals more closely resemble 

combat or terrorist conflict than routine police work. They represent 

an unprecedented violent assault on both the officers and the 

public they serve. This reality serves to remind us all of the need to 

be ever vigilant in the fight to preserve public safety. 

Enclosed are photos taken from the recent bill signing ceremony 

in Oregon. Officer Frank Grace and Officer Dave Ratto were instrumental 

in securing passage of the legislation... the strongest of it's 

kind in the nation. In passing this bill, Governor John Kitzhaber, 

Rep. Kathy Lowe and Officers Grace and Ratto have contributed not 

only to public safety in Oregon, they have also, by their example, 

impacted the pending federal legislation as well. The people and 

state of Oregon ought to be proud to have them in their service. 

I want to thank you for your past support on this matter. I would 

ask, and encourage, all of your readers to contact their legislative 

representative to support H.R. 1007, 'The James Guelff Body Armor 

Act 2001'.

RE: Deferred Compensation Plan 

Investment Performance Analysis 

June 30, 2001 

Dear Commissioner Casciato: 

September 2001 



510 7th Street, San Francisco, CA 94103 

I was present at the Retirement Board's meeting of Tuesday, August 14, 

2001 wherein a presentation was made by Mr. Neil Wolfson from KPMG. His 

presentation pertained to an investment performance analysis of this City's 

457 Deferred Compensation Plan. 

I enjoyed Mr. Wolfson's . presentation with one exception. At the conclusion 

of his report, you directly asked Mr. Wolfson if any of the 457 offerings 

needed immediate close monitoring and placed on a watch list due to lack of 

adequate performance. To my surprise and amazement Mr. Wolfson answered 

in the negative. Why was I surprised? I, during his presentation, 

reviewed his data. I found the AIM Growth Fund to be woefully lacking and 

that such gross under performance appears to have gone on for at least six 

years. Equally startling is the lack of adequate performance of the AIM 

Capitol Appreciation Fund. It's under performance also seems to be of about 

six years duration. 

On behalf of the Police Officers' Association, I have been assigned, by the 

Board of Directors, to monitor the 457 Deferred Compensation Plan. In that 

capacity, I would urge you to place the two aforementioned funds on an 

immediate watch list. To my eye, they deserve immediate replacement. 

If I am reviewing the data correctly, the AIM Growth Fund not only 

provided our participants with significant under performance when compared 

to its bench market and peers, but also provided that under performance 

at greater risk than its bench mark. The AIM Capitol Appreciation 

Fund's at least was able, in providing sub par performance for a long period 

of time, was able to do so at a lower risk than its bench mark. This however 

is not, to my eye, significantly redeeming to allow it to remain a 457 offering. 

Your continuing attention to these matters on behalf of the POA membership 

as well as all of the 19,000 deferred compensation participants is much 

appreciated. We thank you for your efforts.

letters 

Dear Editor, 

The Janese family wish to thank 

the SFPD for all its help during our 

sorrow and grief. The loss of our son 

Richard Joseph has been devastating 

beyond belief. The department has 

been there every step of the way. My 

family has been cared for. They were 

treated with every dignity and 

respect. 

Many of you who know me, knew 

Richard was my life. MaryAnne and I 

will never be the same. Our life has 

changed forever. 

It was our department who 

stepped up and quickly came to our 

aid. They not only helped me but 

my entire family. Captain Yalor was 

first on the scene. He quickly took 

control and the pieces began to fall 

into place. Mike Becker was close 

behind. He was my bag man. He 

knew where and when. He did 

everything from picking up relatives 

to helping serve dinner. We had a 

house full of relatives. MaryAnn 

comes from a family of ten brothers 

and sisters. Brian Nannery assisted 

MaryAnn's sister flying in from 

Tennessee, with an escort which 

greatly eased their travel. Mike was 

with our family several days, lending 

a hand and a shoulder to cry on. 

Dale Berliner arrived, the first thing 

out of his mouth was, "I got it Rich, 

anything you need." Dale spent all 

day with my family. Dale did the 

little things. He remembered everything. 

He was the glue that held a lot 

of this together. Joe Finigan was 

Dale's backup. The POA was on the 

spot. They just asked me one question, 

"How can we help?" 

We talked about being a family. 

We joke about it. I'm here to tell 

you, we are a family. The department 

was there for me. They asked no 

questions. They just jumped in and 

took over. They helped keep my 

family afloat. MaryAnn and I thank 

each and everyone of you. 

God Bless You, 

Richard and MaryAnn 

Dear Chris: 

Lou Barberini (Co.D) and 1 would 

like to thank you and the SFPOA 

Community Service Committee for 

the generous contribution towards 

the SF-San Diego California Coastal 

Classic Bike Ride we will be participating 

in. As you know, this October 

bicycle ride benefits the Arthritis 

Foundation, and brings attention to 

this debilitating disease that affects 

over 43 million Americans, including 

300,000 children. We will be 

joining about 200 riders and hope to 

raise over half a million dollars on 

this one event. Your support is truly 

appreciated.

Dear Captain Alex Fagan, 

Just a short note to let you know 

how pleased we are with the prompt 

response we received from the 

Graffiti Abatement office and Officer 

Chuck Limbert, Star #689. Our brand 

new offices were defaced on 2 

separate occasions on June 11 and 

13, and your officers made a police 

report and referred me to the Graffiti 

Abatement office. June 29th the 

perpetrator was caught in Santa 

Rosa. Officer Limbert was helpful, 

considerate and attentive. He gave 

me information about how graffiti 

people operate, and told me of the 

inter-county exchanges of information 

that might lead to the capture 

of the bad guy. 

Unfortunately, the detail that you 

sent to watch our building caught no 

one and neither did the 3 nights that 

we hired off duty police to watch our 

building, but I am glad someone did. 

Enclosed is a check in the amount 

of $150 payable to the Police Officers' 

Association for the "Parade of 

Stars" event to be held August 12th 

as a small token of our appreciation 

for a job well done. I am enclosing 

the family tickets as well. Please give 

them to a deserving family that 

would enjoy the show. 

Thank you again for the work you 

and your department did on our 

behalf 

Best personal regards.

RE: $ 500.00 DONATION 

Dear Committee Chair: 

Your contribution and participation 

to the fifth annual Sgt. Sugrue 

Tenderloin Games are very much 

appreciated. Making a difference in 

the lives of the Tenderloin children 

is priceless. Keeping the memory of 

Sgt. Sugrue alive in improving the 

quality of life in the Tenderloin 

inspire all of us to annually commemorate 

him through this gathering 

of young people competing and 

learning how we can appreciate life 

in little things we have. 

When the community comes 

together with the assistance of local 

residents, local businesses, friends, 

volunteers, and special people like 

you, we know we can never go 

wrong in guiding our young ones. 

Your support and concern inspired 

US. 

Thank you very much for your 

donation and all your support. 

Please find enclosed a photo taken 

during the event as a way of saying 

thank you once again. We hope to 

hear from you again next year. 

From all of us in the Tenderloin 

August 1, 2001 

Dear Friend: 

It gives me sadness when I stay 

away from the Tenderloin. I had said 

good-bye before but was drawn back 

to continue some unfinished 

projects. 

Coming close to almost three 

555 Castro Street 


415-861-5200 FAX 431-1300 

www.herth.com 

decades of volunteerism in the east 

side of San Francisco, I had finally 

decided to be home. Home means 

closer to my family, to UCSF, and to 

my neighborhood. I haven't done 

much for the west side except for 

some beach clean-up, tree planting, 

community gardening, and few 

short-term activities. 

I recently got involved with 

elderly issues in the west side. I want 

to develop programs involving 

youth and older adults. Through the 

San Francisco Experience Corps 

(SFEC), I believe I can make this 

possible. 

I would like to thank every individual 

and/or organizations for their 

support and assistance in all the 

programs I had been involved 

through the years. Utmost gratitude 

to all the unsung heroes of the 

Tenderloin like Art, Tommy, Jeff, 

Connie, Skip, Marvis, Sgt. Garrity, Lt. 

Foley, and all the underserved young 

people of this neighborhood; you are 

all my inspiration. Special thanks to 

TCOP, Central YMCA, SF Boys & 

Girls Club-TL Unit (formerly Columbia 

Park Boys Club & Girls Club), 

TASP, Tenderloin Children's Playground, 

SF Christian Academy, 

Boeddeker Park, and Peerless 1-lardware. 

The annual Sgt. Sugrue Tenderloin 

Games will continue with Mr. Dan 

Yee's help and the support of our 

community. There are enough funds 

for the sixth year, which I will still 

oversee until the early part of 2002. 

It has been a wonderful experience 

and a pleasure of knowing you 

all. Saying good-bye the second time 

around, with a smile and big hugs, 

makes me feel like leaving home and 

going to college. See you all soon 

and till we meet again! Aloha nui ba

NICK'S NOTES 

We're Sorry Nick... 

Regular readers of the POA Journal no 

doubt missed seeing "Nick's Notes" in last 

month's paper. The fault is entirely mine, 

and I very much regret misplacing his column 

in my computer files. 

Besides being one of my most popular 

contributors, Sports Editor Nick Shihadeh 

is also one of the most consistent and reliable. 

That makes my error all the more 

regrettable. I apologize to Nick and to his 

readers. —Ray Shine 

By Nick Shihadeh, 

POA Journal Sports Editor 

HECK IT OUT: I want to offer 

belated congratulations to 

C Rowena Wilson-Lozada (Payroll) 

on her successful completion of 

the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon 

as well as the $10,000.00 she raised for 

Leukemia Research back in June. She 

wrote a wonderful article with the details 

of the event for The Journal a few 

months ago and included a list of all 

of the people who helped her during 

her quest as well. I was working the SF 

Marathon earlier in the summer and 

saw Rowena running in the half marathon 

event, so it's great that she's still 

out there participating. Once again, 

congrats to Rowena and keep up the 

great work! 

Another person raising money for 

a worthy cause by running in a marathon 

is Captain Marsha Ashe of 

Ingleside Station. She has been training 

to run in the Honolulu Marathon 

that is scheduled for December 9th in 

order to raise money for the National 

Aids Foundation. This will be Marsha's 

very first marathon and she welcomes 

as much support as possible. Of course 

along with the support she would welcome 

any donations to the cause. If 

interested, please send a check made 

out to "AIDS Marathon-SF" to her at 

Ingleside Station and it will be greatly 

appreciated. Good luck to Capt. 

Marsha Ashe! 

I next want to congratulate Rob 

Ziegler as he was playing golf recently 

at Pacifica's Sharp Park and was able 

to shoot a hole in one at the 92 yard 

eighth hole. He used his sand wedge 

and hit a shot that went about six 

inches past the hole then spun back 

in. This golfer's dream was a first for 

Rob and don't worry, there were witnesses 

to this feat— Mike "Bert" Siebert 

and Stevie Stearns were playing with 

him at the time and were able to take 

advantage of the customary free round 

of drinks afterwards. Good stuff! 

I heard that Pac Bell Park isn't as safe 

as people think it is. At a recent Giants 

game, Sgt./Inspector Joe Engler 

was working the game and was in the 

bleacher section near the giant Coke 

Bottle. He was diligently keeping an 

eye on things when all-of-sudden he 

was attacked by a couple of nuts. 

Shelled nuts that is. Don't worry, the 

perpetrators who threw the nuts were 

eventually identified and dealt with 

accordingly (ask a Park Islander for 

details). I believe this really puts a spin 

on being "asalted". 

The California 

Po-;. 

lice/Fire 

S u m m e I - 

games took 

place last 

month in 

the south 

bay with locations 

in and around San Jose and 

Fremont, and the department was well 

represented as usual. As far as how the 

three teams of the SFPD Soccer Club 

faired, it wasn't too shabby. The Ateam 

"Green Guys" (run by Joe Boyle 

and John Anton) were very successful 

as they won their fourth gold medal 

in the last five years by beating out the 

very difficult LAPD and LA Sheriffs 

teams. A detailed article with many 

pictures will be in next month's Journal 

courtesy of Anton. 

The Killer B's (run by Bernie Corry 

and Joe "Buddy, Buddy" Zamagni) 

were very competitive in the second 

division, but unfortunately they didn't 

come away with a medal. Take note of 

the article written by Northern's Mark 

Hutchings in this months sports. The 

C-Dogs (run by Matt Gardner) is the 

over 35 yrs. team that hasn't been able 

to compete against other "old boy" 

soccer teams since the category was 

added to the summer games four years 

ago. Finally, other departments sent 

teams for this level of play, and the 

Dogs were happy to come away with 

a 4th-place bronze. 

As you can see by the photo with 

this column, we had a basketball team 

competing down In San Jose. They 

unfortunately were put into a very difficult 

bracket and despite giving it a 

great effort with a lot of heart went 

two and out (losing to LAPD and 

Fresno County Probation). Despite 

their disappointing tourney, the SFPD 

B-Ball team still showed class and kept 

their heads up high the whole time. 

Good luck next year guys. 

In the Toughest Cop Alive competition, 

the department had a four man 

team featuring TAC's Eddie "Muscle 

Shirt" Yu (rope climb and pull-ups), 

TAC's Damon Keeve (bench press and 

shot put), Mission Station's Robert 

Royer (100 meter run and obstacle 

course), and of course Bayview's Lou 

Perez (100 yard swim and 3-mile cross 

country run). These guys were only 

able to come away with a 4th-place 

bronze despite putting up a great point 

total that would've captured last year's 

gold. The other teams this year were 

just too tough - Buena Park PD won 

the gold, Sunnyvale PD the silver, and 

San Jose PD the 3rd place bronze. 

Lou Perez also competed as usual in 

his individual track and field events. 

In the triathalon, he was able to take a 

silver medal. In the 1-mile run, Lou 

also had to settle for silver when he 

lost to an LAPD runner by only one 

second (4:42 was the winning time, 

4:43 was Lou's, and the third place guy 

wasn't even close with a time of 5:28). 

It was silver again in the 800 meter 

run— Lou posted a very good time of 

Top row, left to right: Jason Lynch, Kelly Wesley, Ed Dc/Carlo, J. Fegen, Willfred 

Williams, Eric Solaris; bottom row, left to rightGerry Newbeck, Carl Bryant, Brian 

Schafer and Joey Fegen kneeling 

2:18, but he wasn't able to beat the 

incredible time of 2:11 put up by a guy 

from Contra Costa County. 

Lou was able to assist a DOJ combo 

team in the 4x400 relay for a 4th-place 

bronze medal, and he even competed 

in the 2-mile swim. The swim race resulted 

in a silver medal for Lou as he 

lost out to a member of the SFFD; that 

result was definitely a hard one to swallow. 

All in all, it was still an incredible 

week for Lou Perez as his six medals 

did the SFPD proud once again. 

Take note of other articles from the 

summer games in this same sports 

page—the hard ball team put together 

by Jake Fegan as well as bikers Jeff 

Brosch (retired) and Dave O'Donnel 

(Mounted Unit). There are also photos 

featuring the SFPD #1 softball team 

(run by Glen Ortega) that had a pretty 

good run in a very difficult tournament. 

I will feature more results from 

the summer games in next month's 

Journal... Otherwise, So See Ya.

THE LOON'S 

JEST REPORT 

By Ed Garcia, T.T.F. 

Tom O'Connor Wins 2001 Club 

Championship 

his year the Loon's Nest Golf 

Club's Tournament Director 

T Glenn Mar, along with the 

members of the Tournament Site Committee, 

decided to play our Club 

Championship in San Francisco. The 

last appearance by the Loon's in our 

hometown was the 1995 Club Championship 

played at the Presidio Golf 

Club. Lincoln Park was selected for this 

year's championship. 

Lincoln Park is the oldest, on-going 

publicly own golf course west of the 

Mississippi River. This tricky par 68 

course has driven many "City Championship" 

players crazy over past decades 

with its long par 3's and sloping 

fairways. As the Loons arrived on August 

28th, we found a beautiful day 

and the views from the course were 

fantastic. This year's championship 

saw some of the best talent the Loons 

have assembled in our fifteen year history. 

Defending 2000 Club Champ 

Steve Landi was ready to defend his 

title, as he was also the Lincoln Park 

Men's Club 2000 Club Champion. 

Tom O'Connor, who has taken two 

prior club championships (97-Sonoma 

National, 98-Oakhurst) was ready to 

continue his recent comeback. Tom 

took this year's Spring Championship 

at Rancho Solano after a year away 

from tournament play due to an 

on-duty injury. 

1999 Club Champ Glenn Mar gave 

notice to his fellow players that he was 

ready, when ten days prior to the tour- 

nament, Glenn fired a two under par 

round of SIXTY-SIX at Lincoln Park. 

Mike Renteria, the Loon's lowest index 

player was to make the trip to San 

Francisco from his new home in Las 

Vegas for the championship. Mike's 

last win with the Loons was the 1997 

Spring Championship at Blue Rock 

Springs in Vallejo, where Mike fired the 

only sub-par round in Loon tournament 

history. 

As the first nine holes were completed, 

Steve Landi had a one stroke 

lead, posting a front side 36, which 

included a birdie on the 2nd hole. 

O'Connor, Steve Moss from the Airport 

and Glenn Mar all had scores of 

37. Tom O'Connor then decided it was 

time to put his game into high gear. 

Tom birdied the 10th and 11th holes 

and picked up additional birdies on 

the 13th and 14th holes, en route to a 

sub-par score of 32 on the back side. 

This gave Tom a one over par score of 

69. Steve Landi fired a 38 on the back 

to finish with a fine 74 to take second 

place. Ed Anzore, Steve Moss and 

Glenn Mar each fired scores of 38 on 

the back nine to finish with 75's. 

O'Connor's four birdies on the back 

side were the product of some excellent 

putting and some very risky drives 

that paid off big dividends. When 

other players in the hunt were playing 

safer tee shots with 3 woods and 

long irons, O'Connor decided to pull 

out the driver and let his thunder 

shafts do their thing. In Championship 

Flight low net, Steve Moss from 

the Airport Division and Ed Garcia of 

T.T.F. both posted 65's, with the tie 

breaker going to Moss. 

First Flight low gross action saw 

Northern Station's Dominic Panina 

When other players in the hunt were playing 

safer tee shots with 3 woods and long irons, 

O'Connor decided to pull out the driver and 

let his thunder shafts do their thing. 

run away with the show. At the turn 

Dominic was one stroke behind Jim 

Aherne, who posted a front side score 

of 38. Panina and his playing partner 

Luigi Pinotti both fired 39's on the 

front side. Dominic turned in it on 

over the back nine, with a birdie on 

the 11th hole and a par on the 230 

yard par 3, 17th hole. Dominic finished 

with a 77, three strokes ahead of 

Aherne and Pinotti. Pinotti took 2nd 

place low gross, as Aherne's net score 

of 63 gave him first place in First Flight 

low net. 2nd low net in the First Flight 

went to veteran Loon John Wong, who 

finished with a net 67, four strokes 

behind Aherne. 

In the Second Flight (handicaps 

from 19.1 to 30) there were some fine 

scores, as Mission Station's Mark Yesitis 

fired a 79 to take first low gross. Mark's 

front side score of 37 was notice to his 

fellow Loons that he will be moving 

up in flights immediately. 2nd low


gross in the flight went to T.T.F.'s Dean 

"The Machine" Ries. Dean posted a 

round of 90. Second Flight low net 

went to the Vice Squad's Rob Ziegler, 

who posted a net 61. Finishing two 

strokes behind Ziegler was T.T.F.'s John 

Sheehan. John took his first tournament 

trophy with a net 63. John also 

had the best looking Hawaiian shirt at 

the awards banquet. 

In the guest flight, Rob Porter blew 

away the field, as he fired a gross 72 

and had a net 63. The guest of John 

Sheehan came out and showed us a 

fine round of golf. 

The Long Drive contest was held on 

the 500 yard 13th hole. The winner 

for the Championship Flight was Tom 

O'Connor, who laid one out 321 yards. 

The winner for the lst/2nd flights was 

Chris Muselman from T.T.F. Chris 

struck his ball 307 yards. Chris also 

orts 

won the Long Drive contest at the two 

day Carmel Adventure in 1999, when 

he drove his ball 291 yards into the 

wind at Poppy Hills. 

We had two "Close to the Hole" 

contests, with prizes for the first three 

finishers on each hole. The two winners 

were Steve Moss and retired horseman 

Stan Buscovich. Stan's shot of 4'O" 

on the 8th hole was the outstanding 

shot of the tournament. Rick Parry of 

the Academy and Mike Radanovich 

from Southern Station took second 

place prizes, with shots of 135" and 

911111. Glenn Mar and Tom O'Connor 

picked up third place honors with 

shots of 18'5" and 100". 

After the completion of play the 

Loon's made a quick flight down to 

Mason & Bay, where we had our 

awards banquet at Caesar's Restaurant. 

The food was excellent and the Loons 

had great time at this very San 

Francisco eating establishment. 

It was a pleasure to return 

to The City for our tournament. 

Lincoln Park played 

tough and it offered great 

views of the ocean, bay and 

Golden Gate Bridge on a clear, 

perfect day. Caesar's was a 

treat, as the Loon's enjoyed 

playing at home. 

Our next event will be the 

Charlie Anzore Memorial 

Tournament, to be played 

over two days in Reno, Nevada. 

We will play Red Hawk 

G.C. and De'Andre Ranch 

G.C., with a three night stay 

and awards banquet at Circus, 

Circus. Hope you can make it.

First Year at the Summer California Police And FM 

Games for Baseball Fire Games Track/Field 

By lake Fegan, 


It was the first year of baseball in 

the Police and Fire Summer Games. 

The San Francisco team had practiced 

for two months getting ready and even 

played some practice games. The 

games in the tournament were to be 

seven innings and would be six 

games... six days. The games were split 

between the San Jose Municipal Stadium 

(where the San Jose Giants play) 

and the San Jose P.A.L. Stadium. These 

were two of the nicest facilities a ball 

player could ask for. 

In the first game Steve Griffin 

started and pitched really well going 

the complete game route and getting 

the win over a team from San Luis 

Obispo. Matt Goodin hit a mammoth 

home run to give S.F. the lead. Griffen 

and shortstop Jake Fegan worked a 

perfect pick-off play at the bottom of 

the seventh inning at second base to 

erase the tying run with no outs. Ryan 

Seto played well and Pat Butherus 

played a great centerfield. "Big" Ed 

DelCarlo coached a great third base 

and got the team from San Francisco 

it's first win. 

In the second game S.F. played the 

always tough L.A.P.D. team. S.F. scored 

five runs in the top of the first but it 

wasn't enough for pitcher Jake Fegan 

as L.A. ended up winning the game by 

a score of 8-6. First baseman Mike 

Howard had a couple of hits and 

played a great first base. John Ferrando 

and John Rochlin were on base all day 

long. The two teams were evenly 

matched and it was a real good ball 

game to watch and a tough one to lose. 

Jim Pandolfi started the third game 

against a team from Fremont. Pandolfi 

pitched well but the team from San 

Francisco could not make a play for 

him. They made several errors giving 

Fremont several unearned runs. 

Goodin did another fantastic job behind 

the plate for S.F. considering the 

temperature was over 90 degrees everyday. 

Rochlin hit a towering home 

run at Municipal Stadium to give S.F 

the lead late in the game. John 

Ferrando then came into the game to 

get the save in a high scoring affair. 

John Rochlin had four hits, Pandolfi 

helped himself out at the plate and S.F. 

won 21-15. During the game there was 

a fly ball to left — seeing the juggling 

act put on by Seto in left field was 

worth the price of admission. Seto felt 

horrible but Rochlin picked him up by 

hitting a home run and getting S.F. the 

lead for good. 

In the scheduled fourth game S.F. 

won because the other team could not 

field enough players as the heat and 

the amount of games was taking it's 

toll on everyone. S.F. entered the fifth 

day with a key game against San Jose 

who had not lost a game. Griffin took 

the ball and with nothing left in his 

arm, still gave a gutsy performance. 

Griffen pitched an honorable five innings. 

Unfortunately S.F. missed some 

key plays which could have helped his 

effort. Rich Ruiz, however, played well 

defensively at first base. San Jose got 

up early and never looked back as S.F. 

lost 12-5. 

S.F. found itself playing for third 

place on the last day against a good 

team put together by the F.B.I. and 

customs. Retired Frank Walkers started 

the game for S.F. and again it was a 

hitters game. Walker pitched well 

enough to get the win going six strong 

innings. Pat Butherus had three hits 

and again Ferrando was on the bases 

all day scoring key for the team from 

S.F. Fegan hit a monstrous home run, 

as well. Jim Trail and Joe Salazar played 

great but it wasn't enough. An F.B.I.! 

Customs player hit an extra innings 

home run in the bottom of the eight 

to win the game. S.F. won the fourth 

place bronze and felt great about their 

chances next year. 

The championship game was played 

Thursday night. L.A. played San Jose 

for the gold medal. There were over a 

thousand fans in the stands supporting 

their home team from San Jose. A 

helicopter landed in centerfield after 

the national anthem and the chief of 

police walked off to throw the first 

pitch out of the game. L.A. ended up 

winning the game but what a great 

experience for everyone involved in 

the first year of baseball. This is the 

way a department should treat these 

games and especially our national pastime. 

S.F. had one steady fan and that 

was Rick Butherus who also graciously 

took several photos for the team. This 

should spark the interest of other baseball 

players in the department because 

it was a first class experience. Bigger 

and better plans will be made for next 

year's baseball event. 

SFPD's first hardball team 

Steve Griffin, Southern 

Station, on the mound 

By Alex Jackson, 

Airport Bureau, Retired 

On August 17-18, 2001, I participated 

in the California Police and Fire 

Games, track and field events, which 

were held at the Los Gatos High School 

Track, in Los Gatos. This marked my 

first return to the track events, after 

retiring from the Airport Bureau in 

1999. My return, was normal, you 

might say, which included the normal 

injury problems that one must learn 

to endure and get over, if one is striving 

to achieve his/her best. To be at 

your best against the other athletes 

takes a lot of spiritual, mental and 

physical training. A sense of confidence, 

that you have prepared yourself 

well and you are ready. At least you 

feel that way until you get on the track 

and see the warm ups of the other athletes 

you are going to compete against. 

You watch intensely at the same athletes 

in your age category who refuse 

to grow older, slower, or even gain 

weight. I ran in the Grand Master (B) 

category, which list ages from 55-59 

years-old. Some of those guys appeared 

to be in their forties. My events were 

as follows: The 100 meter run, 200 

meter run and the 4X100 meter relay. 

Since I have a belief that if you find 

yourself, seemingly overwhelmed by 

the events in this life, make haste and 

call upon the name of the Lord. I do 

that daily. Often. I ran my races with 

the following scriptures in mind from 

the Holy Bible. One of the scriptures 

is found in Hebrews 12:1-2w. It states, 

"Let us take off the weight and run 

with patience the race that is set before 

us, looking unto Jesus Christ the 

author and finisher of our faith. Secondly, 

I ran with this scripture in 

mind, which is found in Philippians 

4:13. It states, "I can do all things

SF Police References: * Gary Delagnes, I 'ice Pres. of SFPO.4 

* Sgt. Bill Arietta, Retired * Chief John Willett, Retired 

through Christ which strengtheneth 

me." These scriptures from the Holy 

Bible includes everybody. No exceptions. 

In the 100 meter race, I won the 

gold medal. I was slow out of the 

blocks, but caught up, I was told, at 

the 30-35 meter mark. I knew that I 

was behind in the race, but not how 

far. In the 200 meter race, I got out 

fast for the first 100 meters. However, 

it didn't matter, because I was overtaken 

by a faster fifty-six-year-old, by 

the name of Matt Pruitt, formerly of 

OPD. I won the silver. I was happy, 

though over the years, I've won seven 

gold medals in that event, but not 

against him. One day, maybe. In the 

4X100 meter run, I joined a combined 

team of three officers from different 

departments who needed a fourth runner. 

A broadcast had been made by the 

field for a runner between the age of 

50-59. However, I ignored the call and 

continued to warm up for the 100 

meter run. My wife walked over to me 

and said, "Hon, didn't you hear that 

call. Go over and help them." I did. 

We finished fourth out of a field of 

eight. We even had the lead after the 

second leg, but lost it in the third. 

Nevertheless, I feel great about that 

fourth place finish. Our third leg officer 

was a sixty-year-old from the CBP 

(John), who appeared kind of frail, but 

proved to be dynamite in the 5000 

meter run where he succeeded in winning 

the gold medal. I guess that's the 

true spirit of the game. The true spirit 

of life. If you can assist someone, do it 

humbly without boasting, bragging, 

pointing out another's mistake, with 

all of the 'Ifs,' regardless of the outcome. 

If you do that, it will make you 

a better competitor. A better person. 

God bless. 

I got to get that 200 meter guy!

B's 

By Mark Hutchings, 


The SFPD "Killer B's," coached by 

Bernie Corry, played their Olympic 

opener against the Soledad State Prison 

corrections officers. Both teams were 

evenly matched making for a very 

competitive game. Due to solid defense 

by SFPD fullbacks Dave Brandt, 

Matt Inocencio and Bob Byrne, 

Soledad was not able to get many scoring 

chances in the first half. SFPD 

goalie, Anthony Inocencio, was able 

to confidently handle any shots on 

goal that Soledad managed to fire his 

way. The first half of this game ended 

in a 0-0 tie. 

A turning point in the match occurred 

about seven minutes into the 

second half. When the Soledad left 

winger managed to dribble his way 

toward the SFPD goal and get a hard 

shot off. Keeper Anthony Inocencio 

was able to block the shot, but it rebounded 

off his hands directly back 

to the Soledad winger. As the Soledad 

winger regained control of the ball, he 

once again drove for the net. In a desperate 

attempt to prevent a sure 

Soledad goal, Anthony Inocencio tackled 

the winger to the ground. This resulted 

in a one on one penalty shot 

for Soledad. Although Anthony 

Inocencio was able to partially block 

the penalty shot, it still found the net 

resulting in a Soledad 1-0 lead. SFPD 

was able to mount several shots on 

Soledad's goal, without success, 

throughout the second half.

With three minutes left in the game, 

SFPD's left winger Joe Zamagni was the 

victim of a hard foul in Soledad's penalty 

box. Zamagni set up for the ensuing 

penalty shot on the Soledad net. 

Zamagni was able to bury a laser like 

shot into the lower left corner of the 

net giving the "Killer B's" a 1-1 tie. 

Unfortunately for the Costello 

brothers (Mike and Tom) the "Killer 

B's" had to play their remaining tournament 

games at 0830. Although the 

Costello's were viewing the world 

through "bloodshot and watery eyes," 

their soccer skills remained clean and 

sober. 

For the second match-up of the 

week, the "Killer Bs' had to play the 

Sacramento County Sheriffs. The Sac. 

County Sheriffs had a strong defense 

and ample substitutes. Sacramento's 

numerous subbing ate valuable time 

off the game clock that the referee did 

not account for. SFPD's forward Kirk 

Edison and Steve Glickman ran the 

Sacramento defenders ragged. However, 

Sacramento had plenty of fresh 

legs to replace their tired defenders. 

Conversely, SFPD relied heavily on 

Edison and Glickman for scoring and 

endurance. 

This game ended in a 0-0 tie due in 

large part to the rock solid defense by 

Bob Byrne, Matt Inocencio, Dave 

Brandt and Greg Suhr. 

The third game of the tournament 

pitted the "Killer B's" against the San 

Jose Police Department. San Jose had 

some skilled players but they did not 

have enough substitutes to keep running 

with the faster "Killer B's" 

forewards. The "B's" dominated the 

game with accurate passing from Mike 

Cleary and Pablo Ossio. The size and

and Mike Cleary 

Killer B Players shaking hands with an opponent after a match 

strength of the Costello brothers and 

the speed of Edison and Glickman simply 

wore SJPD out. Kirk Edison took 

advantage of San Jose's tired defenders 

by racing into the left side of San 

Jose's penalty box. Edison placed a 

masterful shot off the outside of his 

right foot to the lower right corner of 

San Jose's net. Edison later said, "the 

ball went exactly where I wanted it to 

go." Mike Costello also managed to 

find San Jose's net to give the "Killer 

B's" a 2-0 lead. 

"Killer B" keeper Anthony 

Inocencio stifled all of San Jose's scoring 

chances. His performance resulted 

in his second shut out of the tournament. 

As a result of this victory, San 

Francisco advanced to the medal 

round to face the Los Angeles County 

Sheriffs. 

San Francisco gave up the first goal 

of this contest early in the first half. 

LASD setup for a free kick about 30 

yards away from the SF goal. As Anthony 

Inocencio was trying to align 

his defense to set up "a wall," an LASD 

center half blasted off a quick shot. The 

entire "Killer B" team was in shock as 

the free kick sailed into the net. This 

put LASD ahead 1-0. However, Steve 

Glickman and Kirk Edison were able 

to get together on several offensive 

surges into LASD's territory. With 3 

minutes left in the first half, Glickman 

hit Edison with a crisp pass in front of 

LASD's net. Edison was able to get a 

quick shot into LASD's net to tie the 

game at 1-1 to end the half. 

The "Killer B's" seemed to dominate 

the second half of this game. LASD did 

not manage to cross midfield as the 

"B's" placed shot after shot on the 

LASD goal. 15 minutes into the second 

half, Steve Glickman received a 

long pass from SFPD's fullback line. 

Glickman used his head to place a pass 

on Joe Zamagni's right shoe. From 

about 15 yards out, Zamagni sent the 

"go ahead" goal past LASD's keeper 

into the net. 

At this point in the game the "B's" 

seemed confident. However, LASD 

managed to turn the game right


Joe Zamagni discussing strategy with Kirk Edison (left) 

around with a quick score off the solid 

Anthony lnocencio. LASD's left winger 

placed a slow roller at the feet of the 

SF keeper. When Inocencio dove on 

the ball, it squirted out from under 

him into the "Killer B's" net. This tied 

the game and left the entire team in 

disbelief. LASD became noticeably 

charged up as a result of this cheap 

goal. It was clearly the turning point 

of the game. 

With three minutes left in the game, 

LASD scored again on a misplayed ball 

by the usually solid SFPD defense. As 

time quickly ran out, LASD slammed 

the loss home with one more goal to 

end the game 4-2. Although the score 

looked bad, all who watched the game 

said that the "Killer B's" gave the game 

away. The SF club controlled the first 

85 minutes of the match only to have 

a huge let down late in the game. As a 

result of this devastating loss, the "B's" 

had to play for the fifth place spot as 

LASD advanced to the Gold Medal 

game. 

The final game of the tournament 

was a rematch with the Soledad state 

prison guards. None of the players on 

the "B's" were happy about the loss to 

LASD the day before, but all of the 

players arrived ready to play. 

The game got off to a bad start for 

the "Killer B's' when right full back, 

Bob Byrne, cleanly tackled Soledad's 

center forward inside SF's penalty box. 

The incompetent referee called a foul 

on the play and awarded Soledad a 

penalty kick. Soledad's center forward 

had no trouble sinking his shot into 

the "Killer BY net to jump out to a 1- 

0 lead. 

SFPD's forward, Steve Glickman, 

again displayed his speed and skill by 

placing another pass to Kirk Edison. 

Glick's pass was heading straight for 

the Soledad net when it appeared that 

the Soledad keeper was going to stop 

it. However, Kirk Edison raced into the 

path of the ball and changed direction. 

This was just enough to get the ball 

passed Soledad's keeper into the net. 

The first half ended with a 1-1 tie and 

once again SFPD looked confident on 

the field. 

At the start of the second half, 

Soledad jumped out to a 2-1 lead on a 

beautiful cross pass from the right corner. 

After this score, Soledad went into 

a defensive mode that allowed the 

"Killer B's" to mount several offensive 

chances. During one of the offensive 

chances, Soledad committed a "handball" 

violation in their own penalty 

box. This set up a dramatic chance for 

SFPD to tie the game with a penalty 

shot. Unfortunately, SFPD center half, 

Mike Cleary placed his shot just left 

of the Soledad net. 

Soledad maintained their lead late 

into the game when Joe Zamagni managed 

to find the persistent Kirk Edison 

with a sharp pass. Edison received the 

pass and blasted a shot off of the 

Soledad keeper. However, the shot deflected 

off the keeper right to the feet 

of SFPD right full back, Mark 

Hutchings. Hutchings got a clean shot 

off with his right foot to sneak the ball 

into Soledad's upper right side of the 

net. Hutchings' goal created a 2-2 tie 

with four minutes left in the game. 

Since it was a long week of soccer 

and the "B's" played hard fought 

games throughout the tournament, 

fatigue did set in and the "B's" could 

not keep up with a speedy Soledad 

right forward. After blazing past all of 

the "Killer B's" defense, the Soledad 

winger placed a beautiful shot into SF's 

goal giving them the last minute victory. 

This caused the "B's" to finish the 

tournament with a 1-2-2 record. That

Mountain Bikes at the California 

Police and Fire Summer Games 

By Jeff Brosch, 

Homicide, Retired 

The California Police and Fire Summer 

games mountain bike activities 

included a downhill event which was 

held at Santa Teresa Park in San Jose 

on Thursday, August 16th. It was a 

technical "high risk" course. It started 

at Coyote Peak and ended about 25 

yards past a creek crossing the rocky 3 

miles later. Dave O'Donnel (Mounted 

Unit) and I were the only SFPD or Ret. 

SFPD competitors. I had a good run

On August 13th, a contingent of 

nine SFPD golfers began a three day 

golf tournament at the 2001 Police and 

Fire Summer games hosted by the San 

Jose Police Dept. The tournament was 

spread out of three courses in the south 

bay. They were San Juan Oaks designed 

by Fred Couples, Eagle Ridge by 

Johnny Miller, and Coyote Creek by 

Jack Nicklaus. These courses were by 

far the some of the most demanding 

and beautiful courses played in recent 

summer game history. 

There were some excellent rounds 

played during the final round of golf 

which helped bring home a total of 

nine medals for SFPD Golfers. Lt. Bruce 

Lorin of Permits fired a final round 76 

which brought him home the Gold 

medal to win the Grand Masters (50+) 

Singles Division A Flight by a whop- 

even though I blew my front tire hitting 

a rock at the creek crossing. I managed 

to ride the last 25 yards on the 

rim and still finished, "a slim" first in 

the Grand Master C Division. Dave 

wasn't so lucky. At the same creek 

crossing he lost his chain and had to 

stop and fix it. He had a good run, but 

his mishap cost him a medal in the 

Grand Master A Division. 

The cross-country event was on Friday, 

August 17th, again at Santa Teresa. 

SFPD finishers were Ron Roth (Mission). 

Dave O'Donnel, and myself. As 

a veteran of many Police 

Olympic cycling 

events, this is the 

toughest race I can recall. 

The downhill 

course was incorporated 

into the nine-mile 

cross-country course. It 

was a warm day and the 

course was again "technical, 

risky, but fun." I 

managed to get a second 

gold medal and 

Dave picked up a 

bronze in his division. 

Ron, who was competing 

in the Masters B Division, 

had a super race 

but because this is the 

"toughest" Division in 

the event, missed out 

on a medal by only a 

few minutes.

ping 8 strokes. Teamed with Off. Ed 

Anzore of Permits, they captured the 

Gold Medal in the Masters Team Division 

A flight. Ed Anzore also captured 

the Silver Medal in the Singles Master 

Division A flight. Sgt. Glenn Mar of 

Taraval Station fired a 76 on the toughest 

course, Eagle Ridge to finish fourth 

place and bring home the Bronze 

Medal in the Seniors Single division A 

flight. Team with Sgt. John Greenwood, 

they captured a fifth place 

Bronze finish in the Senior Team Division 

B. Scott Warnke and Thomas 

Watts of Northern captured the Team 

Bronze in the Senior Team Division A. 

Inspector Steve Morimoto, Robbery, 

Steve Moss, Airport Taxi, and Mark 

Yesitis of Mission put up good fight in 

their divisions to come up just short 

of medaling. All in all, SFPD was well 

represented in the Golf division of the 

Summer Games.

The San Francisco Police 

Department's Ice Hockey Team con- 

cluded its first season in the Yerba 

Buena Summer League with a respect- 

able 13-4-1 record. The team lost in 

the league championship semi-finals 

the final week of August. 

The Ice Hockey team was assembled 

from the now defunct San Francisco 

Police Department In-line Roller 

Hockey Team, a perennial champion 

in the San Francisco Bladium In-door 

Leagues. 

This year's team was made up of 

team manager and starting Goalie, Joe 

Noto (Richmond), Captain Chris 

Knight (Northern), Assistant Captains 

Sean Connolly (Deputy City Attor- 

ney), John Denny (Inv. Admin.), and 

Mike Gonzales (Hondas); and Jon 

Kasper (Bayview); Ron Liberta 

(Bayview); Rick Forman (Asst. District 

COURTESY 

OF A 

FRIEND 

Attorney); Kurtis Wong (Airport); Ed 

McConnell (FBI); Dan Maguire (Iron 

Workers); Chris DuBois; Eric Chang, 

and Gordon Moore (Vallejo PD). 

Filling out the roster on injured re- 

serve were Vinnie Etcheber (Northern), 

Danny Manning (Dogs), and Luke 

Martin (Bayview). 

The team's first season proved that 

it possesses the right formula to mount 

a legitimate attack on the Fall season 

championship. First among its arsenal 

is the outstanding ability of goalie Joe 

Noto who boasted of a 2.45 goals 

against average and. 890 save percent- 

age. The team is also holder of two of 

the leagues biggest scoring threats in 

Assistant Captains John Denny (lead- 

ing point getter, 23 points) and Sean 

Connolly (leading goal scorer, 17 

goals). The offense is rounded out by 

the sound play of veteran Rick Forman, 

and the outstanding and tenacious 

play of newcomers Ron Liberta, Jon 

Kasper, and Dan Maguire. 

The solid and indefatigable defen- 

sive corps is made up of Assistant Cap- 

tain Mike Gonzales (leading scorer 

among defensemen), Kurtis Wong, 

Chris Knight, and recently acquired 

sharp shooter Gordon Moore. The de- 

fensive corps skated with a greater 

burden than usual without star 

defenseman Mike Sullivan (Southern) 

who hung up the skates after his re- 

cent retirement from the Department. 

The team looks forward to a success- 

ful Fall season and encourages anyone 

interested in playing to contact Joe 

Noto or the sfpdhockey website. All 

ages, genders, and experience levels are 

welcome.

By Rene LaPrevotte 

Solos 

severe outbreak of snivelitus 

broke out in San Francisco last 

A month, when the ten riders 

who had initially signed on as participants 

in the ride through the Southwest 

and Zion National Park crapped 

out, one by one ... "until there was 

one"—ME. 

That's actually not true, as Captain 

Mike Puccinelli took a three day respite 

as "Special Projects Coordinator" to 

visit Las Vegas with me. How the Police 

Department got by without him 

for 72 hours is still a mystery to me, 

but luckily it did, or my entire trip 

would have been solo. 

Pooch and I met at the "Puccinelli 

crack-of-dawn" (0900 actually) at a 

secret meeting spot in Novato, and 

rode down Highway 99 and through 

the gorgeous Mojave Desert, through 

Palmdale and into "Lost Wages" by the 

dinner hour. Actually, I don't think we 

had dinner, but spent the evening rehydrating 

after our desert crossing. We 

chained the bikes together for two 

days, and learned to speak various dialects 

of Arabic as we "cabbed" our way 

around Vegas. 

Wednesday morning we loaded our 

provisions on our steeds, and bid a 

fond adieu as Pooch headed up #95 for 

the ff 109 cut over Sonora Pass. I headed 

up #15 through Nevada, across Utah 

to Highway 70 and into Grand Junction, 

Colorado on day one. 

In Richfield, Utah there is a sign as 

you learn town easterly that says: 

"Next gas, 110 miles, no bull." I looked 

down at my gas gauge, which read 

three-quarters of a tank and figured, 

"No sweat." 

The next hundred or so miles is 

through some of the most beautiful 

landscape in the Southwest, with 

tabletop hills and "Wiley Coyote" 

scenery all around. Fifty or so miles 

outside of Richfield, I glance at my gas 

gauge, which now reads a quarter tank 

hmmm. 

It seems in my optimistic appraisal 

of the remaining gas in my tank I neglected 

to take into account that I was 

six thousand feet above sea level, and 

getting half the mileage I am accustomed 

to. I throttled back in an effort 

to save fuel and suddenly I'm staring 

at the gas gauge more frequently than 

I am the stunning scenery. With forty 

miles to go, my gauge is on the big red 

"E". Now my low-fuel light is blazing 

and I've still got 35 miles to go and 

I'm in the middle of absolutely NO- 

WHERE! It has also just dawned on me 

that I haven't passed another vehicle 

in about a half-hour, and the prospect 

of becoming buzzard-bait is a very real 

possibility. 

I've now resorted to killing my 

thirsty engine and coasting down the 

hills, only relighting the thing when 

I've slowed to twenty miles per hour. 

Once onto the flatlands, I'm a bit distressed 

by two things: One, I can see 

almost to the vanishing point on the 

horizon and I still don't see civilization! 

The second source of distress is I 

just got overtaken by three Harley 

Davidsons that I blew past fifty miles 

back! 

Well, since I'm here writing this article, 

it's obvious that I wasn't eaten 

by the Roadrunner and his friends, and 

when I pulled into Green River, Utah 

in a huge sigh of relief, I found that I 

had two tenths of a gallon of gas left. 

Hell, I could have beaten those three 

"Hogs" into town after all! 

That night I made Grand Junction, 

Colorado, where over a cold one I 

vowed to be more vigilant of my fuel 

supply. Also while in Grand Junction, 

I walked over to a truck stop to avail 

myself of an ATM machine and at the 

gas pumps I spied a spanking-new "San 

Francisco Municipal Railway" articulated 

bus. Initially suspecting an "851 

in progress," I was disappointed to 

learn from the bus driver that the 

coaches are made in Colorado and 

driven west to San Francisco for application 

of graffiti and seat slashing. The 

driver also told me that these busses 

are sold all over the USA, but San Francisco 

is the only city that specifies a 

bulletproof Plexiglas cocoon for the 

driver. The driver was a talkative chap, 

who told me he likes driving the 

coaches at night, because he enjoys the 

solitude. He told me that the only caveat 

to night travel was the abundance 

of "critters" crossing the highway at 

night ... I should have listened more intently. 

The next morning after a sumptuous 

Colorado breakfast (with ninety 

percent of the other patrons puffing 

away on their cigarette of choice), I 

took off on Highway 70 through the 

Rockies and yet more spectacular scenery. 

About a hundred miles from Colorado 

Springs, I blew past a rider on the 

side of the road with motorcycle parts 

scattered all over the ground as he tinkered 

with his 25-year-old Gold Wing. 

Passing, I glanced at his Kansas license 

plate, and recalled my moment the day 

before, when I faced the prospect of 

starving to death in the high desert. I 

made a U-turn and returned to the 

stranded brother. (At this point it 

hadn't occurred to me that Kansas was 

only 300 miles east of us and this guy 

wasn't in the dire situation I had been 

in.) I spent the next two hours following 

the "Winger" seven miles at a time 

before the bike would die due to a 

faulty fuel pump. A few minutes banging 

on the sleeping pump would render 

it operable for another seven miles. 

After I got him safely out of the Rockies 

and into some semblance of civilization, 

we parted company with a big 

"plus" on the positive side of my 

karma scale. 

The next three days were spent in 

Pueblo, with daily jaunts to Pike's Peak 

International Raceway for the AMA 

Superbike races. Monday morning at 

0900 I'm back on the bike heading 

west. My goal was to make Nevada in 

the first day, so I took US 50 west, 

which is fittingly named "the loneliest 

highway in the world." 

At dusk, I've got about a hundred 

miles of Utah ahead of me as I enter a 

highway construction zone where, for 

thirty-odd miles, the State of Utah has 

seen fit to dump bunker oil and gravel 

on the highway in a weak effort at repaving. 

It wasn't until I pulled into a 

gas station and put my foot down that 

I realized I could no longer reach the 

ground! The repeated layers of sticky 

oil and gravel had made the diameter 

of my tires about half a foot larger than 

the last time I stopped, so the next half 

hour was spent trying to scrape the 

gooey mess from my tires. Now 

slightly behind schedule, I set the 

throttle-lock at triple digits and hunker 

down for the last hundred miles to 

Nevada. (Remember that the legal 

speed limit is 75, and no one even 

gives you a glance until about 90.) 

As I blast across the darkened desert, 

Having no large bush nearby... beep, beep... the author has retreated to the canyon 

yonder for personal relief.., beep, beep. 

PHOTO COURTESY OF WILEY COYOTE 

an approaching motorist flashes his 

high beams several times at me. I returned 

the insult, as I suspected the 

loaded saddle bags on the rear end of 

my bike had changed the direction my 

headlight is aimed, and that drivers 

who haven't seen an approaching 

headlight for the past half hour are 

overly sensitive to the ill-adjusted 

headlight on my bike. Thirty seconds 

later, I used up all the positive karma I 

earned earlier in the week when at 100 

miles an hour, with the throttle locked 

and laying on my tank bag I find myself 

fifty feet from a herd of steers crossing 

the highway, nose to tail. As I pictured 

myself impacting a "Thousand 

Pounder with Cheese," I slammed the 

handle bar left, then immediately right 

as I sped through the only five feet of 

clear space on US 50 at that moment 

with the throttle still locked at 100! 

I blurred past a cow's nose on my right 

elbow and the opposite end of a cow 

on my left. A hundred yards down the 

highway, my central nervous system 

caught up with my reflexes and I was 

awash with adrenaline. I slowed to a 

stop and recalled the sage warning of 

the Muni bus driver about "critters" 

on the road. Why did I equate "crit-

ters" with squirrels and skunks instead 

of bovines weighing twice as much as 

my motorcycle? Needless to say, I 

called it a night at the very next opportunity, 

which was Ely, Nevada. 

I fell asleep, visualizing the results 

of impacting four thousand Jumbo 

Jacks and flying off the elevated highway 

into the moonless desert ... I 

wanna be home now. 

The following day, when it was 

much easier to determine when Bossie 

wants to cross the road, I aim west and 

cross that great American toilet we call 

Nevada. That afternoon, as I drove past 

Reno, I was amazed at the smog in the 

area and lamented "creeping humanity" 

and what we leave behind. Not 

much later, as I passed a sign saying 

"Welcome to California," I took note 

that the entire area was engulfed by a 

forest fire near the area of Norden and 

Sugar Bowl. The smog I had lamented 

in Reno was actually California burning 

down. 

Monday morning at 9:00 a.m. I was 

300 miles west of Kansas, and at 6:00 

p.m. Tuesday I pulled into my driveway 

in Novato. 

This isn't such a big country after 

all!

S 

eeking to publicly 

acknowledge the 

hard work and dedi- 

cation of uniformed police 

officers, Commander 

Rick Bruce has implemented 

the San Francisco 

Police Department's Patrol 

Officer of the Month, 

a program that recognizes 

individuals who personify 

the admirable qualities 

common in all San Francisco 

street cops. 

Each month, Commander 

Bruce will ask a 

district captain to nominate 

one of their uniformed 

officers for this 

special recognition. The' 

selection of a single officer - 

for this honor will prove - - 

to be an unenviable task. It will, after all, be very difficult to single out one 

officer from among so many, all of whom are as focused on their duty; every 

one as unassuming as the next; all as worthy and deserving. 

The San Francisco Police Officers' Association applauds Commander Bruce 

and the Administration for so pointedly recognizing the uniformed patrol officers 

who comprise "the backbone of the Department". 

The Association also congratulates Len Broberg, Bayview Station, for being 

chosen as the September, 2001 Patrol Officer of the Month. As with all such 

honorees, the selection of Len serves to exemplify the strength of character, 

compassion, and commitment to community that is embodied in all of the 

men and women of the SFPD. COLLAGE BY MAMMONE AND COHEN
