Pacifica man pleads guilty

to illegal sale of stuffed bald eagle
A Pacifica man has pleaded guilty in federal court in San
Francisco to a charge of selling a stuffed American bald eagle.
James Dickson, 57, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge
William Alsup on Tuesday to one count of engaging in illegal
trade of protected wildlife.
The item Dickson sold was a taxidermy mount of a bald eagle,
according to the criminal charge filed by federal prosecutors in
March.
The bald eagle — the national bird of the United States — is
protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which prohibits harm-
ing or killing members of the species.
U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag said Dickson admitted during the
plea to vending the stuffed bird to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
undercover agent for $2,200 on Nov. 24, 2009.
Dickson will be sentenced July 12. The crime carries a maxi-
mum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Two ordered to pay in looting after Grant verdict

OAKLAND — Two men arrested on suspicion of looting after
a verdict was announced in the Oscar Grant case have each been
ordered to pay $25,000 to the owner of an Oakland jewelry store
that was robbed.
Oakland city officials on Wednesday announced the result of a
lawsuit they filed against 33-year-old Terry Williams of Oakland

Authorities say the men were at a July 8 rally that turned vio-
lent after a jury returned a verdict of involuntary manslaughter
against Johannes Mehserle, a white transit officer who fatally shot
Grant, an unarmed black man. The shooting was captured on
videotape.
Authorities say Williams and Dugas were caught with jewelry
from the store owned by Ho Cho.
City officials said neither Williams nor Dugas hired an attorney
or showed up in court.

Rate on 30-year fixed

mortgage at 4.91 pct.
By Janna Herron
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — The rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage rose

for the fourth straight week, but still remains below 5 percent.
Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate on the 30-year
loan rose to 4.91 percent from 4.87 percent the previous week.
It hit a 40-year low of 4.17 percent in November.
The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage increased to
4.13 percent from 4.10 percent. It reached 3.57 percent in
November, the lowest level on records dating back to 1991.
Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the 10-year
Treasury note.
Low mortgage rates haven’t been enough to lift the strug-
gling housing market. Job worries and tight credit standards
have kept people from buying homes. A high number of fore-
closures are forcing home prices down, leaving would-be buy-
ers worried that market hasn’t bottomed out.

Business briefs
Ford widens recall of F-150 pickup to nearly 1.2M
DETROIT — Ford bowed to pressure from regulators on
Thursday and widened a recall of America’s top-selling vehi-
cle, the F-150 pickup, because its air bags can deploy at the
wrong time.
The recall now covers nearly 1.2 million F-150s built for the
2004 and 2005 model years and some built for 2006. An elec-
trical short can cause the air bags to inflate without a crash and
could injure drivers. Ford Motor Co. in February said it would
fix the problem in 150,000 trucks but had resisted the govern-
ment’s wishes to expand the recall.
The widened recall shows how regulators have become more
aggressive since being criticized last year for a slow response
to unintended acceleration problems in Toyota vehicles.

water, just ice, stacked.
For the uninitiated, that’s one ice cube at a time, followed by
equal shots of bourbon. Then she lets the whiskey settle before

Stevens, a former whiskey industry executive, is a bourbon afi-

founding board member from Lexington.
