Millbrae officials want license plate readers
Councilmembers call for new tech to combat crime, though incidents trending down
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Millbrae officials favor installing license
plate readers as a means of cracking down on
crime, despite reports of criminal behavior
showing signs of slowing, according to law
enforcement.
The Millbrae City Council directed offi-
cials to return with details on the process for
installing the technology designed to read
and track the plates of cars trafficking
through city limits.
The direction offered during a Tuesday,
Nov. 13, meeting comes in the wake of a
report from the city’s police department
showing incidents of criminal behavior are
largely tracking down from the year prior.
“It is a consensus that a majority of the
council is interested in this and would like
to pursue it, ” said Councilman Reuben
Holober, regarding the license plate readers,
according to video of the meeting.
Mayor Gina Papan echoed a similar senti-
ment.
“It would be the desire of the city to pursue
additional information,” she said.
In response, interim City Manager Tom
Williams said he believed more details could
be brought back for further discussion at a
meeting following the turn of the new year.
The discussion is a part of ongoing dia-
logue among officials who have been con-
sidering the initiative for at least two years
as a means of combating crime.
The public examination of license plate
readers, which scan and store car identifica-
tion information to match it against a data-
LOCAL
base of vehicles associated with past
crimes, started in 2016, following a rash of
home and car burglaries.
Through the summer though, a report
from Millbrae police showed crime is actu-
ally beginning to drop off, as calls for serv-
ice dipped marginally by about 300 reports
to 17,100 in the last fiscal year.
Police Chief Paul Kunkel said the recent
study should give residents peace of mind
regarding their quality of life.
“We have a very safe city,” said Kunkel,
who works for the county Sheriff’s Office,
which is responsible for providing law
enforcement services to Millbrae.
As further evidence, Kunkel showed resi-
dential burglaries dropped by five reports
from the previous year to 33 incidents in
2018 and vehicle burglaries dipped from
256 incidences last year to 191 reports.
He noted though there has been a recent
spike in the reports, which could result in a
surge shown in the coming year’s data,
which spans through the summer.
For his part, Vice Mayor Wayne Lee noted
the disconnect shown between the police
report and the public perception that
Millbrae can be a dangerous place to live or
leave a car.
“We’ve been hearing a lot about a rash of
crimes and I’m glad that the statistics dis-
prove a lot of that,” he said.
In other news at the meeting, officials
took aim at the city’s unfunded pension cost
which will continue to rise over the coming
years, according to a recent report.
The city’s current total annual pension
cost of $4.6 million is slated to increase to
$6.4 million in the 2020-2021 fiscal year,
according to a report, which shows the fig-
ure could float as high as $8.2 million in the
2026-27 fiscal year.
Though $6 million was previously allo-
cated into a trust fund to mitigate costs,
councilmembers suggested officials should
be aggressive in paying down the debt —
especially during a booming economy.
“We ought to be more proactive,” said
Lee.
Papan agreed, and suggested as a sign of
commitment to cutting costs that coun-
cilmembers consider agreeing to not accept
the benefits offered once they are elected.
“I think we should set an example,” she
said.
She also favored further discussion on the
matter with a focus on preventative meas-
ures officials can take to trim the financial
burden facing the city.
“Looking into further moves is always
appreciated,” she said.

California budget is ‘in
remarkably good shape’
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO — California’s budget is in “remarkably

good shape” as fiscally conservative Gov. Jerry Brown pre-
pares to hand off to governor-elect and fellow Democrat
Gavin Newsom, the state’s legislative analyst said
Wednesday.
Newsom and the Legislature will have nearly $15 billion
to allocate next year, the analyst said, but it warns that the
state might face budget cuts during any future recession if
lawmakers don’t commit that entire surplus to California’s
rainy day funds.
“It is difficult to overstate how good the budget’s condi-
tion is today,” said Mac Taylor, an appointee of the
Legislature who wrote the analysis. “By historical stan-
dards, this surplus is extraordinary.”
The analyst’s longer-term outlook also is rosy, project-
ing annual surpluses averaging more than $4 billion annu-

California high court vacancy

By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — With only weeks
left in office, Gov. Jerry Brown named
one of his senior advisers Wednesday
to fill a long-running vacancy on the
California Supreme Court.
The Democratic governor nominated
Joshua Groban, 45, of Los Angeles,
who has overseen Brown’s appoint-
ment of about 600 judges since 2011.
Brown said the appointments have
been praised as the most diverse in
state history.
Groban is the fourth person Brown
has named to the seven-member court.
If confirmed, he would give the court a
majority of Democratic appointees for
the first time since voters rejected for-
mer Chief Justice Rose Bird and two
other Brown appointees in 1986, dur-
ing his first two terms as governor,
said appellate lawyer David Ettinger,
who writes a blog about the court.
Groban “has vast knowledge of the
law and sound and practical judgment”
and will be a strong addition to
California’s highest court, Brown said
in announcing his pick.
Groban, a Democrat, would be paid
$253,189 a year.
Brown waited nearly two years to
move to fill the vacancy created by the
retirement of Justice Kathryn Mickle
Werdegar.
“I am truly humbled by this nomina-
tion and, if confirmed, I look forward
to working alongside the highest
court’s truly exemplary jurists, ”
Groban said in a statement.
The nomination now goes to the
State Bar’s Commission on Judicial
Nominees Evaluation and must be con-
firmed by the Commission on Judicial
Appointments. Brown’s office expects
Groban to take the bench before the
governor leaves office in January.
first reaction is we want to spend it all,” Ting said. “Our fis-
cal situation is very strong in California, but we also have
a recession looming — we just don’t know when it’s com-
ing.”
Brown has warned of an inevitable economic downturn
for years as he blocked legislative spending. Newsom has
said he also will be fiscally cautious, but has advocated
expensive programs including providing universal health
care, preschool for every child, creating jobs and stemming
homelessness.
Newsom did not immediately comment on the forecast,
which comes as his transition team begins crafting the
budget he will recommend to lawmakers in January.
Democratic Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins of San
Diego said that Brown and lawmakers “have pulled the state
from the depths of the Great Recession” while building
reserves and increasing spending in critical areas while
Brown has been governor.

Hillsborough man
sentenced to nine years prison
A 69-year-old Hillsborough man was sen-
tenced in federal court in San Francisco
Tuesday to nine years in prison for conspir-
ing to export components of night-vision
rifles to Russia without a license.
Naum Morgovsky pleaded guilty before
U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria in June
to conspiring to sell the components
between 2012 and 2016 in violation of the
Arms Export Control Act.
He also pleaded guilty to two counts of
Local briefs
laundering a total of $223,000 in profits
from the scheme by using the stolen identi-
ty of a dead person.
He was sentenced by Chhabria, who also
ordered him to pay a fine of $1 million and
forfeit $223,000 plus three night vision
devices seized in connection with the
investigation.
Morgovsky’s wife, Irina Morgovsky, 67,
pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge and
was sentenced by Chhabria last month to
one year and six months in prison. Both
defendants will begin serving their sen-
tences Jan. 4.
Man speeds away from police,
crashes, arrested for pot in car
A Daly City man is in jail for felony evad-
ing and possession of marijuana for sale
after crashing his car in his attempt to speed
away from a San Bruno police officer trying
to pull him over near the intersection of
First Avenue and Pine Street Tuesday after-
noon.
At approximately 3:15 p.m., a San Bruno
police officer attempted to stop the car,
which fled at a high rate of speed and collid-
ed with two parked cars before coming to a
stop approximately one block from where
the initial enforcement stop was attempted.
Nobody was injured as a result of the colli-
sions, according to police.
A search of the vehicle revealed marijuana
and marijuana “wax” suspected to have been
possessed for the purpose of sale. Daniel
Martinez, 19, was identified as the driver.
Martinez was booked into San Mateo
County Jail for charges related to felony
evading and the possession of marijuana for
purpose of sale, according to police.

Question for Amazon’s two Obituaries

Dolores ‘Dee’ Philomena Eggert

chosen cities: Will it pay off? By Christopher Rugaber

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio speak during
a news conference about Amazon’s headquarters expansion to Long Island City
in the Queens borough of New York City.
Suddenly, a pair of quiet real
estate markets are white-hot
By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Amazon has just
sparked a real estate frenzy to rival
Cyber Monday.
A three-bedroom condo with
Manhattan views that had sat on the
market for months, priced at $1.7
million, is suddenly drawing would-
be buyers now that Amazon has
announced plans to build part of its
new second headquarters in Long
Island City.
Online searches for homes in the
Long Island City — long an industri-
al area in the Queens borough of New
York — soared 248 percent last week,
the real estate brokerage Redfin said.
Searches in the other winner of
Amazon’s sweepstakes, Crystal City,
Virginia, jumped 84 percent. Real
estate agents say they’re hearing
from investors who’d like to become
landlords and from sellers who’ve
decided to pull their homes off the
market, sit back and wait for prices to
go up, up, up.
PHOTO CREDIT
The surge of interest has followed
Amazon’s selection of those two
areas to each receive 25,000 new jobs
paying an average of $150,000.
The two localities already reflect
the ultra-pricey New York and
Washington metro areas, though real
estate sales there had been relatively
modest of late. Worries are arising, in
fact, that housing prices in both
places— whether for renters or buyers
— are destined to price out all but the
most affluent in the coming years.
The same trend, critics note, has
long been evident in such high-tech
centers as San Francisco, San Jose,
California, and Seattle, where
Amazon is based. In those cities,
low- and moderate-income families
increasingly struggle to afford hous-
ing anywhere near their workplaces.
Out of concern that Amazon’s
arrival could make homes prohibi-
tively expensive, buyers around
Crystal City are suddenly rushing to
close on sales, said Brian
MacMahon, a real estate agent with
Redfin in Northern Virginia.
Savings rates got you Do
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The awarding of
Amazon’s second headquarters to two
affluent localities has fanned intense
speculation around a key question: For
the winning cities, will the economic
payoff prove to be worth the cost?
Amazon’s decision will bring to
Arlington, Virginia, and the Long
Island City section of New York a com-
bined 50,000 jobs and $5 billion in
investment over the next two decades.
But the influx is sure to swell already-
high home prices and apartment rents
and could overwhelm public trans-
portation systems. And the two areas
combined are providing over $2 bil-
lion in subsidies to one of the world’s
richest companies — a bounty that
many analysts say probably wasn’t
necessary to sway Amazon.
The decision to bring those jobs,
which Amazon says will pay an aver-
age of $150,000 a year, to the New
York and Washington areas will also
exacerbate U.S. regional inequalities,
economists say. Such Midwestern
cities as Columbus, Ohio, and
Indianapolis, Indiana, which made
Amazon’s short list, would have
helped spread the tech industry’s high-
skilled, high-paying jobs more broad-
ly.
“It’s ambiguous for the winners, not
good for the ‘losers’ and not good at all
for the nation,” said Mark Muro, a sen-
ior fellow at the Brookings
Institution.
Still, on the surface, the deal appears
to be better than most. Amazon says
it’s receiving $1.525 billion in incen-
tives and subsidies from New York
state and $573 million from Virginia
and Arlington County. That works out
to $61,000 in incentives provided to
Amazon for each job in Long Island
City and roughly $23,000 for each job
in Arlington.
That compares with a much larger
average figure of $658,000 per job for
other large deals, said Greg LeRoy,
executive director of Good Jobs First,
a nonpartisan watchdog group.
Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn, for
example, received $4.8 billion in sub-
sidies for a plant in Wisconsin on
which it broke ground this year. That
deal is expected to bring just 13,000
jobs.

Nancy Pelosi unfazed as unhappy
Dems claim votes to block her rise
By Alan Fram and Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — As a steadfast Rep.
Nancy Pelosi all but dared potential rivals
for the gavel to come forward, a group of
restive House Democrats vowed Wednesday
to produce enough votes to block her from
becoming the House’s new speaker.
For two days now, disgruntled Democrats
have claimed they have 17 names on a letter
opposing Pelosi’s leadership, promising to
air the document soon. They say those sign-
ing on are pledging to vote against the
Californian when the full chamber elects
the next speaker on Jan. 3.
Rep. Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y., confirmed
the letter Tuesday, and an aide to an organiz-
er of the effort said it stood at 17 names as
of Wednesday. The aide was not authorized
to discuss the letter publicly and spoke on
condition of anonymity.
Pelosi, asked by a reporter about her mes-
sage to rebellious colleagues, challenged
them to put forward an alternate candidate
for speaker.
“Come on in, the water’s warm,” she said.

But Pelosi is one of her party’s most pro-
ductive fundraisers, energetic campaigners
and respected legislative tacticians, giving
her wide support that will make her difficult
to topple.
“I will be speaker,” she said Wednesday.
While simple math would say the 17
names would be enough to deny Pelosi a
majority, other factors are at play. To win
on the floor, a speaker needs 218 votes,
under typical circumstances, but with
absences or members voting present, the
tally is reduced. As of now, Democrats hold
229 seats and Republicans hold 198, but
several races remain undecided, so the
Democratic number could grow. That gives
Pelosi a margin of about a dozen or more
seats, assuming all Republicans vote
against her as expected.
“We’ve got enough to ensure that she can-
not become speaker, ” said Rep. Kurt
Schrader, D-Ore.
The efforts to block Pelosi are led by a
core group of incumbent Democrats
opposed to her, but some newly elected law-
makers pledged during their campaigns to
do the same.

Justice legal opinion backs
Whitaker’s naming as acting AG
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department
on Wednesday released an internal legal
opinion supporting the
legality of Matthew
Whitaker’s appointment
as acting attorney gener-
al as Democrats press the
case that President
Donald Trump violated
the law and Constitution
by making Whitaker the
country’s chief law
Matthew
Whitaker enforcement officer.
The 20-page opinion
from the Office of Legal Counsel, which
provides advice to executive branch agen-
cies, aims to rebut mounting complaints
that Trump illegally sidestepped procedure
by appointing Whitaker over Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Rosenstein, the second-ranking Justice
Department official, has been confirmed
by the Senate and had been overseeing spe-
cial counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia
investigation. Whitaker had been chief of
staff to now-ousted Attorney General Jeff
Sessions, a job that didn’t require Senate
confirmation. He became acting attorney
general when Sessions was forced out on
Nov. 7 and was given oversight of
Mueller’s inquiry.
Since then, the state of Maryland has
challenged Whitaker’s appointment, argu-
ing that the top Justice Department job
must be held by a Senate-confirmed official
such as Rosenstein.

Migrant groups arrive at
U.S. border by hundreds
By Maria Verza
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ESCUINAPA, Mexico — migrants to shelters immediately,
Migrants in a caravan of Central
Americans scrambled Wednesday
to reach the U.S. border, arriving
by the hundreds in Tijuana, while
U.S. authorities across the border
were readying razor wire security
barriers.
Authorities in Tijuana were
struggling to deal with a group of
357 migrants who arrived aboard
nine buses Tuesday and another
group of 398 that arrived
Wednesday.
Josue Vargas, an immigrant
from Honduras who finally pulled
into Tijuana Wednesday after more
than a month on the road, said
“Mexico has been excellent, we
have no complaint about Mexico.
The United States remains to be
seen.”
U. S. Defense Secretary Jim
Mattis, meanwhile, went to visit
U.S. troops posted to the border in
south Texas, and said the deploy-
ment provides good training for
war.
That didn’t deter arriving groups
of Central Americans from going
to a stretch of border fence in
Tijuana to celebrate.
On Tuesday, a couple of dozen
migrants scaled the steel border
fence to celebrate their arrival,
chanting “Yes, we could!” and one
man dropped over to the U.S. side
briefly as border agents watched
from a distance. He ran quickly
back to the fence.
NATION/WORLD THE DAILY JOURNAL
Tijuana’s head of migrant serv-
ices, Cesar Palencia Chavez, said
authorities offered to take the
but they initially refused.
“They wanted to stay together in
a single shelter,” Palencia Chavez
said, “but at this time that’s not
possible” because shelters are
designed for smaller groups and
generally offer separate facilities
for men, women and families.
But he said that after their visit
to the border, most were taken to
shelters in groups of 30 or 40.

ing 7,000 to 10,000 migrants in

Defense chief’s resignation
pushes Israel toward election
By Josef Federman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israel’s defense minister
on Wednesday abruptly resigned to protest a
new cease-fire with Hamas militants in
Gaza, throwing the government into tur-
moil and pushing the country toward an
early election.
Avigdor Lieberman’s decision was osten-
sibly a show of anger over Tuesday’s infor-
mal truce with Israel’s Hamas enemies. But
in many ways, it was the opening round of a
new political campaign.
His defection leaves Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu with the narrowest of
parliamentary majorities — only 61 of 120
seats in his coalition.
In theory, Netanyahu can continue to
govern until parliamentary elections sched-
uled for a year from now. But with another
coalition rival, Naftali Bennett, threaten-
ing to leave the coalition if he doesn’t get
the defense portfolio, the days of
Netanyahu’s government appear numbered.
After two days of heavy fighting,
Netanyahu’s decision to accept the
Egyptian-brokered truce was more than a
case of cooler heads prevailing.
The longtime Israeli leader knows well
that the military option has its limits.
Israel has maintained a crippling blockade
on Gaza and fought three wars against
Hamas since the Islamic militant group
seized power in 2007. This has inflicted
heavy damage on Gaza, but Hamas remains
firmly in power.
Ousting the group would require a military
operation that could take months and cost
the lives of thousands of Palestinian civil-
ians and many Israeli soldiers. Reluctant to
pay such a price, Netanyahu instead seems
content to keep a weakened Hamas in check.

May wins Cabinet backing for

LONDON — In a hard-won victory,
British Prime Minister Theresa May on
Wednesday persuaded her Cabinet to back a
draft divorce agreement with the European
Union, a decision that triggers the final
steps on the long and rocky road to Brexit.
But she still faces pitfalls and threats from

GOP face renewed pressure
on Mueller’s protection bill
By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans are
facing renewed pressure to pass legislation
to protect special counsel Robert Mueller,
with a handful of GOP senators urging their
leadership to hold a vote now that President
Donald Trump has pushed out Attorney
General Jeff Sessions.
Republican Sen. Jeff Flake and Democratic
Sen. Chris Coons say they will try to bring
REUTERS up the legislation for a vote on the Senate
and his replacement’s criticism of Mueller’s
Russia investigation. While the effort to
force action Wednesday isn’t expected to be
successful, several other Republicans have
said they would vote for the bill, including
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck
Grassley, Maine Sen. Susan Collins and the

ably later his month.
Crucially, Barnier said that “we have now
found a solution together with the U.K. to
avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland.”
But the agreement, hammered out between
U.K. and EU negotiators after 17 months of
what Barnier called “very intensive” talks,
infuriated pro-Brexit lawmakers in May’s
Conservative Party, who said it would leave
Britain a vassal state, bound to EU rules that
it has no say in making.
Those “hard Brexit” voices include sever-
al ministers in May’s Cabinet. Emerging
from the five-hour meeting in 10 Downing
St., May said the Cabinet talks had been
“long, detailed and impassioned.” She said
there had been a “collective decision” to
back the deal, though she did not say
whether it was unanimous.

Lieberman has sought to project an image
as a gruff, tough-talking politician. At
times, he has been critical of Israel’s Arab
minority, liberal opposition groups and
even Israel’s Arab ally Egypt. Sitting in the
opposition, he once threatened to assassi-
nate Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh if he held
the defense portfolio.
But as defense minister, Lieberman’s
accomplishments remain limited, and
Haniyeh is alive and well in Gaza.
Calling the cease-fire “surrender to terror-
ism,” Lieberman also made clear that his
frustrations run much deeper. He said he also
opposed a recent decision to allow Qatar to
deliver $15 million in aid to Gaza and the
cancellation, under heavy international
pressure, of the planned demolition of a
Bedouin village in the West Bank.
“We are buying quiet in the short-term at
the cost of severe damage to our security in
the long-term,” he said. “The weakness we
displayed also projects itself to other are-
nas.”
If Netanyahu calls early elections, opin-
ion polls forecast a broad victory by his
Likud Party and his hard-line partners,
including Lieberman.
With his resignation, Lieberman appears
to be positioning himself for elections by
painting Netanyahu as soft and portraying
himself as a defense hawk.
Bennett, another former Netanyahu aide
who leads the religious Jewish Home Party,
is likely to use a similar strategy. Like
Lieberman, Bennett had favored tougher
military action against Hamas.

Banks, insurers pull stocks lower

By Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A turbulent day of trading on
Wall Street ended Wednesday with
a fifth consecutive loss for the
benchmark S&P 500 index.
An early rally drove major
indexes sharply higher but was
gone by midday, leaving the mar-
ket headed lower for the rest of the
day. The Dow Jones Industrial
Average swung from a high of 214
points to a low of 350 before the
sell-off eased somewhat by late-
afternoon.
Technology companies, banks
and insurers fared the worst, their
losses outweighing gains in other
sectors.
Bond prices rose as traders shift-
ed money into low-risk assets.
That pulled yields down, which
hurts banks by driving interest
rates on loans lower. Energy
stocks rebounded as crude oil
prices snapped a 12-day losing
streak. Precious metals also rose.
“We’re still ... contending with
the implications of the sell-off
from October, ” said David
Lefkowitz, senior equity strategist
at UBS Global Wealth
Management. “The market is still
somewhat unsettled and somewhat
volatile as investors digest that
move and reposition for what they
think will happen next.”
The S&P 500 index fell 20.60
points, or 0. 8 percent, to
2, 701. 58. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average lost 205. 99
points, or 0. 8 percent, to
25,080.50. The Nasdaq composite
dropped 64.48 points, or 0.9 per-
cent, to 7,136.39. The Russell
2000 index of smaller companies
gave up 12.30 points, or 0.8 per-
cent, to 1,502.51.
The latest losses placed the
indexes on track to finish the
month with a loss.

Eagles closer to last place
than repeating as champions
PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles
are closer to being the eighth defending Super
Bowl champion to follow up with a losing
record than becoming the ninth team to
repeat.
A season that began with promise has been
a major disappointment. The offense is incon-
sistent, the defense has wasted several leads in
the second half, and a slew of injuries has left
the team short-handed in key areas.
Still, the Eagles (4-5) are in the mix in a
mediocre NFC East.
“There is a level of frustration, but listen,
we’re very close,” coach Doug Pederson said
Wednesday. “We’re so
close in a lot of areas. You
look at our output and pro-
duction offensively, we’re
very similar to where we
were last year.
“The difference is creat-
ing turnovers on defense
and then scoring in the red
Doug Pederson zone. That’s kind of
what’s staring at us right
in the face. We have to finish better, and we
have to score more points.”
The Eagles have lost three straight games at
home, including 27-20 to the Cowboys (4-5).
They have four games remaining against divi-
sion opponents, including two versus first-
place Washington (6-3). Next up is a difficult
game on the road against the New Orleans
Saints (8-1). Philadelphia is a 9-point under-
dog.

Pulisic assumes leadership role with US Soccer team
By Rob Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Back with the
United States for only the second
time in an injury-troubled year,
Christian Pulisic has watched the
Americans rebuild from afar after
their failure to qualify for the World
Cup.
“I definitely need to be a more
important piece of this team and
continue to grow as a leader,” the
20-year-old midfielder said ahead
of Thursday’s friendly against
England. “It’s tough because I’m

want to show these guys how it’s
done on a professional level.”
Pulisic is talking like a veteran

2016. The Hershey, Pennsylvania,
native has 21 appearances and nine
goals, the last in the 2-1 loss at
Trinidad and Tobago in October

streak of seven straight World
Cups. Pulisic’s only appearance
since has been in a friendly against

Durant’s back as way of trying to keep him

I think it also sends a message to Green
that they are willing to call him out when
he crosses the line. Is he willing to dial it
back a notch for the betterment of the

It will certainly add some spice to a long

CY YOUNG
Continued from page 11
DeGrom allowed three runs or fewer in 29 consecutive
starts to close the season, breaking Leslie “King” Cole’s
108-year-old record of 26 such outings. Yet the Mets were
11-18 in those games and 14-18 overall with deGrom on the
mound.
“My thought process was, ‘Hey, take the ball every fifth
day and continue to try to put this team in position to win
and control what you can control,”’ deGrom said.
Hernandez’s Cy Young victory signaled a major shift from
voters, who once prioritized pitcher wins. The push toward
advanced analytics made deGrom’s candidacy possible, and
by September there was little debate deGrom was worthy,
even as the Mets regularly wasted his dominance.
Perhaps no pitcher had ever been such a hard-luck loser.
New York averaged 3.5 runs in games started by deGrom,
second only to Cole Hamels for worst support in the majors
among qualified pitchers. During one stretch late in the sea-
son, the Mets totaled 10 runs over seven of deGrom’s out-
ings, and four of those were driven in by the pitcher him-
self.
DeGrom nearly produced more wins above replacement
than actual wins — a dubious sabermetric feat that has only

been accomplished once, when the Philadelphia Athletics’

Reference calculated deGrom for 9.6 WAR.

rookie winner voted a Cy Young, joining fellow Mets Tom
Seaver and Dwight Gooden. R.A. Dickey was the only other
Met to win a Cy Young.
Snell got 17 first-place votes and 169 points to 13 first-
place votes and 154 points for Verlander. Kluber had 71
points, followed by Boston’s Chris Sale and Houston’s
Gerrit Cole.
Snell led the AL with a 1.89 ERA. The 25-year-old pitched
just 180 2/3 innings, 33 1/3 fewer than Verlander, but his
dominance was enough to sway the electorate.
The lefty nicknamed Snellzilla wreaked havoc against the
AL’s top lineups. He was 3-0 with a 1.08 ERA in four starts
against the World Series champion Red Sox, and 2-0 in two
starts each against the Astros and Indians. The Yankees
roughed Snell up twice, but he got threw five scoreless
innings in a victory Aug. 16. That came during a late-season
run of nine consecutive wins for Snell, including a victory
against every team in the AL East.
Snell was the first player 25-or-younger to win 21 games
since Barry Zito in 2002. He was highly regarded as a minor
leaguer for his electric arsenal, but subpar control led to
struggles during his first two major league seasons. He was
even demoted to Triple-A for a month in 2017.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
RAIDERS
Continued from page 11
The Raiders will try to improve the production this week
despite possibly missing several key pieces on offense. Receiver
Martavis Bryant is out at least a couple of weeks with a knee
injury and receiver Jordy Nelson didn’t practice Wednesday with a
knee injury that has put his status in doubt this week.
Oakland already is without injured running back Marshawn
Lynch, who is on injured reserve with a groin injury, and traded
away No. 1 receiver Amari Cooper last month to Dallas.
That will likely give an opportunity this week to rookie
Marcell Ateman, who began the year on the practice squad and has
been inactive since getting promoted to the 53-man roster last
month. Undrafted rookie Saeed Blacknall was promoted from the
practice squad Wednesday and also could play a role.
Carr has been impressed with Ateman’s hard work at practice
and attention to detail.
“One thing that really stuck out is during games, he’ll come up
to me and ask questions, not in a bothersome way or anything
like that just, ‘Hey, what did you see here? What if they ran the
route like this?”’ Carr said.
“So, I can tell that he’s not just here taking a redshirt year,
enjoying his time wearing the team colors, he’s really put in a lot
of work and it means something to him. He’s shown that, so
hopefully he just goes out there and cuts it loose, because he’s
done all the right things, now he’s just got to go play.”

been hard-pressed to say when Bay Area res-
idents may see conditions clear, said district
spokeswoman Sarah Zahedi.
Zahedi said the second-highest particulate
matter reading logged in the Bay Area
occurred Nov. 9, just a day after the massive
and deadly Camp Fire started near Paradise
and sent plumes smoke across the Bay Area.
The Nov. 9 reading was dwarfed only by a
measurement taken Oct. 13, 2017, after the
North Bay wildfires, noted Zahedi, who said
last fall’s wildfires had a more concentrated
effect on air quality in the North Bay and
East Bay than the Camp Fire, which has had
a more widespread effect across the Bay
Area.
She said it’s still too early to predict when
onshore winds that could clear out the
smoke Bay Area residents have experienced
in recent days will come and, in the mean-
time, officials are advising residents to stay
indoors, wear N95 protective masks if they
need to be outdoors and keep monitoring
conditions.
“Wildfire smoke is unpredictable and con-
ditions can change really quickly,” she said.

services as well as delayed completion of
major developments contributed to the
city’s surplus, explained city administrative
services director Rebecca Mendenhall.
Councilmembers voted 3-1 to approve the
allocation of $4.75 million of the surplus
toward the city’s facility and infrastructure
reserve and $1.25 million toward the city’s
unfunded liabilities reserve, which offsets
the costs of the city’s pension obligations.
Councilman Mark Olbert voted against the

with windows and doors closed to avoid
exposure … that’s the first line of defense to
protect your health.”
She said officials are also advising indi-
viduals to avoid activities that can add to
the poor air quality, such as burning wood,
barbecuing or using leaf blowers or lawn
mowers. For those wearing N95 masks,
Zahedi said they should ensure they are
using newly packaged masks that are secure
around their noses and read the directions
before using them, noting the masks are not
suitable for men with beards or young chil-
dren.
An air quality index exceeding 151 marks
the threshold for unhealthy air. With it at
that level in much of the Bay Area, Dr. John
Balmes, professor of medicine and pul-
monary care doctor at the University of
California, San Francisco, said young chil-
dren, seniors and those with pre-existing
heart and lung diseases are among the med-
ical experts are particularly concerned about
when air quality worsens.
He said increased coughing, wheezing and
shortness of breath are among the symp-
toms to watch out for, and those with condi-
tions ranging from asthma to coronary
heart disease are advised to stay indoors to
prevent exacerbation of their conditions.
But Balmes said the conditions can be
unhealthy even for healthy people, and
advised against exercising outdoors for all
measure and Councilman Matt Grocott was
absent from the meeting. An allocation of
nearly $1 million of the surplus into the
city’s unassigned fund balance to account
for unexpected expenditures in the coming
year was also included in staff’s recommen-
dation to the council.
The city also maintains an economic
uncertainties reserve fund as well as a strate-
gic property acquisition reserve fund, which
funds the purchase of strategic properties
within the city and allowed for the 2013
acquisition of three parcels just south of
Holly Street and west of Highway 101,
which were sold in 2016 to a developer that
built a new Marriott Residence Inn and
Suites on the site, said Mendenhall.

residents. During exercise, many breathe
through their mouths to bring more oxygen
to their muscles, explained Balmes, who
added that when they exercise outdoors, par-
ticulates bypass the filtering mechanisms
in their noses, a phenomenon that could
increase their dose of particulates during
smoky conditions.
Acknowledging long-term studies on the
public health effects of massive wildfires
like Camp Fire have yet to be completed,
Balmes said more is known about the short-
term effects even healthy individuals might
experience in poor air quality, such as throat
irritation and watering eyes. Though smoky
air does increase risk of lung infection, a
condition he said can be treated, Balmes
doubted most healthy residents would get
enough exposure to poor air quality in the
last week to experience long-lasting health
conditions.
“Those are annoying, irritating symp-
toms, but they’re not going to cause chron-
ic health problems,” he said.
For additional context, Balmes estimated
smoking one cigarette would be worse for
one’s health than the air outside.
Weighing the strong financial outlook of
the city as well as salary and benefit reduc-
tions employees took in the aftermath of
the 2008 recession, Councilman Ron
Collins advocated for city officials to begin
discussions of using a portion of the surplus
toward a bonus for city employees. Collins
credited not only City Manager Jeff Maltbie
and Mendenhall for their stewardship of city
funds, but also the entire staff for contribut-
ing to the city’s financial position.
In April, the council approved a one-time
payment of $7 million from the city’s
unfunded liability reserve in an effort to pay
down the city’s employee pension obliga-
tions, a move expected to save the city
some $650,000 in annual payments to the
city’s unfunded liabilities.
“It’s been a team effort,” he said, accord-
ing to a video of the meeting. “I think it’s
high time we discuss that for our employ-
ees.”
Olbert joined Collins in advocating for a
future discussion of an employee raise, but
noted officials should allow for time for the
public to weigh in on the potential. One
figure that was floated was a 5 percent
bonus, which Olbert determined through
staff Wednesday would cost the city about
$500,000. Though Olbert also credited staff
for contributing to the city’s financial posi-
tion, he also noted it is also a function of
THE DAILY JOURNAL
In an abundance of caution, school offi-
cials have been implementing aspects of
the Shelter in Place protocol developed by
the Big Five safety plan, said Patricia Love,
San Mateo County Office of Education
spokeswoman. Because children have been
pegged as one of the more vulnerable
groups when air quality takes a dip, Love
said school officials have been taking a
range of steps to mitigate their exposure to
the poor air quality, including canceling
outdoor recess, postponing outdoors sports
activities and adjusting ventilation systems
to prevent exposure to outside air on school
campuses.
Love said the protocol may be modified
depending on the air quality level near a
given school community, and noted offi-
cials have long been trained to implement
the protocol in light of increased frequency
of major wildfires.
Noting conditions can shift significantly
throughout the day, Love advised parents
and school officials to stay updated on cur-
rent conditions and ensure they are taking
the appropriate steps to keep students pro-
tected.
“I think it’s really important for schools
and parents to just stay on this, pay atten-
tion to what’s happening, ” she said.
“People just sometimes aren’t aware of it.”

decisions made by city officials over the
years, such as a shift toward contracting
city services and accepting a higher level of
development in the city.
Olbert voted against the allocations up
for review because he wasn’t comfortable
with the practice of earmarking funds for
various items, noting the process can pre-
vent councilmembers from having a full
understanding of how many funds are avail-
able for programs and services in the city.
“Those kinds of allocations actually tend
to constrain the council,” he said. “I just
want to make sure the future council is aware
of just how much money is out there.”
Vice Mayor Cameron Johnson pegged the
city’s decision to increase the funds avail-
able in its economic uncertainties reserve as
one among many behind its historic sur-
plus. As of June 30, the city’s economic
uncertainties reserve stood at $6.2 million,
or more than 17 percent of the city’s operat-
ing expenses, and the city has a goal of
funding the reserve at 20 percent of total
operating expenses, according to a staff
report.
“When we find ourselves in a place where
we have a budget surplus, when things are
doing really well, the disciplined thing to
do is to set aside money for a rainy day,” he
said. “I hope that future councils will have
the wisdom to continue that program.”

“This is so devastating that I don’t
really have the words to describe it,”
Brown said, saying officials would
need to learn how to better prevent
fires from becoming so deadly.
Nearly 8,800 homes were destroyed
when flames hit Paradise, a former
gold-mining camp popular with
retirees, on Nov. 8, killing at least 56
people in California’s deadliest wild-
fire, Sheriff Kory Honea announced
Wednesday evening. There were also
three fatalities from separate blazes
in Southern California.
Honea said the task of searching for
bodies was so vast that his office
brought in another 287 searchers
Wednesday, including the National
Guard troops, bringing the total num-
ber of searchers to 461 plus 22 cadav-
er dogs. He said a rapid-DNA assess-
ment system was expected to be in
place soon to speed up identifications
of the dead, though officials have ten-
tatively identified 47 of the 56.
It will take years to rebuild the town
of 27, 000, if people decide that’s
what should be done, said Brock
Long, administrator of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. The
town in the foothills of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains looks like a waste-
land.
“The infrastructure is basically a
total rebuild at this point,” Long said.
“You’re not going to be able to
rebuild Paradise the way it was.”
Temporary schools and hospitals
will be brought in, Long said.
Officials are also looking to bring in
mobile homes for thousands of peo-
ple left homeless.
Debris removal in Paradise and out-
lying communities will have to wait
until the search for victims finishes,
he said.

Jim Delong, a longtime sport fisher-
man, reported similar results, but bad
weather during the first several days of
the season prevented him from head-

crab traps in his usual spot. Still, he
was hauling in the legal limit every
day, which is 10 crabs for sport fisher-
men.

The People of the State of California
To Richard Wayne McCune:
By order of this court you are hereby ad-
vised that you may appear before the
judge presiding in Department 7 on JAN.
15, 2019 at 9:00 A.M., then and there to
show cause, if any you have, why

trol of Richard Wayne McCune for the
purpose of freeing the minor for adop-
tion.
The address and place of the above
hearing is Juvenile Division 222 Paul

The following information concerns rights
and procedures which relate to this pro-
ceeding for the termination of custody
and control of Kathryn Noel Chicca as
set forth in Section 7822 of the Family
Code.
(1) At the beginning of the proceeding
the court will consider whether or not the
interest of Kathryn Noel Chicca require
the appointment of counsel. If the court
finds that the interests of Kathryn Noel
Chicca do require such protection, the
court will appoint counsel to represent
her, whether or not he is able to afford
counsel. Kathryn Noel Chicca will not be
present in court unless she so requests
or the court so orders.
(2) If a parent of Kathryn Noel Chicca ap-
pears without counsel and is unable to

will be paid by the county.
(4) The court may continue the proceed-
ing for not more than 30 days as neces-
sary to appoint counsel and to enable
counsel to become acquainted with the
case.

Next generation of biotech food heading for grocery stores
By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The next generation of biotech food is
headed for the grocery aisles, and first up may be salad
dressings or granola bars made with soybean oil geneti-
cally tweaked to be good for your heart.
By early next year, the first foods from plants or ani-
mals that had their DNA “edited” are expected to begin
selling. It’s a different technology than today’s contro-
versial “genetically modified” foods, more like faster
breeding that promises to boost nutrition, spur crop
growth, and make farm animals hardier and fruits and veg-
etables last longer.
The U.S. National Academy of Sciences has declared
gene editing one of the breakthroughs needed to improve
animals by selectively breeding to get offspring with cer-
tain traits. It’s time-consuming and can bring trade-offs.
Modern tomatoes, for example, are larger than their pea-
sized wild ancestor, but the generations of cross-breeding
made them more fragile and altered their nutrients.
GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, are plants or
animals that were mixed with another species’ DNA to
introduce a specific trait — meaning they’re “transgenic.”
Best known are corn and soybeans mixed with bacterial
genes for built-in resistance to pests or weed killers.
Despite international scientific consensus that GMOs
Ask a Professional
are safe to eat, some people remain wary and there is con-
cern they could spur herbicide-resistant weeds.
Now gene-editing tools, with names like CRISPR and
TALENs, promise to alter foods more precisely, and at less
cost, without necessarily adding foreign DNA. Instead,
they act like molecular scissors to alter the letters of an
organism’s own genetic alphabet.
The technology can insert new DNA, but most products
in development so far switch off a gene, according to
University of Missouri professor Nicholas
Kalaitzandonakes.

First they must find genes that could make a new gener-

“If we can go in and edit the gene, change the DNA
