Council members, for their part, high- lighted meters residents can get from the city that could alleviate the high costs. They also touched on finding ways to soften the blow from the recent changes to the sewer fee structure. Council, in February, passed an ordinance increasing sewer fees by $15 per quarter, bringing the flat quarterly rate to $115 for use up to 15,000 gallons. The ordinance also increased the “exces- sive use fee,” from $1.85 to $2.31, for each 1,000 gallons used beyond the initial 15,000. Seniors age 65 and older pay an $85 flat fee, but are charged the same excessive use fee as others. Smith Avenue resident Matthew Cyrel- son told council in a prepared statement that the changes for him meant a $227 increase in his sewer bill.

She defeated Baker in Missouri after the Bridgeton fighter endured a 21-hour car ride to get there. Garcia was nowhere to be found. “If Crystal’s not here, I don’t want to fight at 125 pounds,’’ she told Coach Terry Gould. “I want to drop down to 119.’’ It was a snap decision, but Gould went along.

PHILADELPHIA — Talk about a postseason debut.
Roy Halladay threw the second no-hitter in postseason history, leading the Philadel-phia Phillies over the Cincin-nati Reds 4-0 in Game 1 of the NL division series on Wednes-day.
Don Larsen is the only other pitcher to throw a postseason no-hitter. He threw a perfect game for the New York Yan-kees in the 1956 World Series against Brooklyn. The 54th anniversary of Larsen’s gem is this Friday.
“It’s surreal, it really is,” Halladay said. “I just wanted to pitch here, to pitch in the postseason. To go out and have a game like that, it’s a dream come true.”
Halladay took the Year of the Pitcher into the postsea-son. The excitement spread beyond Citizens Bank Park — the last two outs were shown on the video board at Target Field, where the Twins were preparing to play the Yankees, and Minnesota fans cheered.
