Sewage spills in bay

An estimated 2.7 million gallons of partially treated sewage and storm water has spilled into San Francisco Bay from a treatment plant, authorities said. The accidental release occurred Thursday night, when rainwater overwhelmed the facility and an emergency alarm system failed, Marin County officials said Friday. County health officials are warning the public to avoid fishing or touching water in or around Richardson Bay, an arm of San Francisco Bay that stretches between Tiburon and Sausalito.

Back on track

A train stuck overnight in the Northern California mountains resumed its journey Saturday after a snow plow that was blocking the tracks was removed, officials said. Two Amtrak trains and about 400 passengers were initially stranded after the accident Friday. One train was pulled to Reno, Nev., and its 165 passengers were put up in a hotel, an Amtrak spokeswoman said. The other train, which was headed from Emeryville to Chicago, remained in the mountains until the tracks were cleared Saturday morning. About 60 passengers from the second train were taken by bus back to the San Francisco Bay area overnight, while 155 stayed on board to wait for the line to reopen. The train had heating and lights, and passengers were given food.

Ford issues recalls

Ford Motor Co. said Saturday it is recalling about 225,000 vehicles that were already repaired as part of an earlier recall to address concerns about a cruise-control deactivation switch. Ford says the affected vehicles represent a small portion of the about 10 million vehicles that have been recalled since 1999 related to the cruise-control switch problem. The vehicles in the new recall include 185,000 E-Series vans with model years ranging from 1992 to 2003. Other affected vehicles include 1993-95 Ford Taurus SHO, 1992-98 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis, 1992-95 Lincoln Town Car, 1993 Ford Bronco, 1993 gas-powered Ford Super Duty and 1995-97 gas-powered Ford Super Duty stripped chassis. Ford said it will contact affected owners.

Ex-employees sue

Four black former employees of a north Georgia restaurant say they were unfairly strip searched by white managers and that three of them were fired after they complained. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit on their behalf, seeking back wages, plus interest. The federal agency's complaint says managers searched the four employees after $100 disappeared from a white employee's cash register at the Krystal restaurant in June 2005.

4ALICE, TEXAS
Mayor quits over dog

A small-town mayor accused of secretly keeping her neighbors' dog after telling them the pet died has resigned, and a judge is set to decide custody of the Shih Tzu. Grace Saenz-Lopez apologized Friday to Alice residents and said she believed her actions were in the dog's best interest. A custody hearing Monday is expected to decide who gets Puddles, who Saenz-Lopez renamed ''Panchito'' after taking the dog last summer.
