Surge in tech jobs buoys county employment

Economic experts eye wage growth and cost of living heading into the new year
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Though San Mateo County’s
unemployment rate has been hov-
ering at historical lows in recent
months, its dip in November could
be welcome news for experts cau-
tiously monitoring slowing
growth in tech and other industries.
For economist Jon Haveman of
Marin Economic Consulting, the
state Employment Development
Department’s Friday report reflect-
ing a 2.1 percent unemployment
rate for the county in November
was nothing short of surprising.
While Haveman’s analysis of the
EDD’s numbers had shown the
county’s unemployment rate hov-
ering around 3 percent in recent
months, he said the Bay Area’s job
growth has been markedly slower
than that of the state, which added
47,400 nonfarm payroll jobs last
month, according to the EDD.
California’s unemployment rate
fell from 4.9 percent in October to
4.6 percent in November, accord-
ing to the agency, which also
down from the 5.3 unemployment
rate recorded for the state in
November of 2016.
Haveman said an annualized
22.4 percent jump in the county
tech sector’s job growth in the
last month slowed its steady
decline over the last year to 1.3
percent, signaling what could be a
brighter future for other indus-
tries, such as hospitality and
retail, that have historically been
sensitive to changes in the tech
sector.
“It’s kind of staggering how big
the employment gains were,” he
said. “This is really an abrupt
about-face.”

Frost advisories and tempera-

nothing to stop those pouring

Framing Expanded child tax credit may not be as generous as it seems
By Sarah Skidmore Sell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The expansion of a child tax credit
helped seal Congress’ approval of the
Republican tax overhaul. Sen. Marco
Rubio had insisted that House-Senate
negotiators allow low-income house-
UArt Redwood City 2550 El Camino Real holds to claim more of the child credit.
And the final bill did so.
650-328-3500 So do poor families stand to benefit?
22 cents less in federal taxes.
Since a national income tax began
more than 100 years ago, people have
been allowed to deduct from their
income the amount they’ve paid for
state and local taxes.
But under the tax legislation
President Donald Trump signed into
law Friday, there’s a $10,000 cap on
the deductions.
That’s going to hit hard in states
such as California, Connecticut, New
York and New Jersey — states where
the average state and local deductions
in 2015 all topped $17,000. In New
Jersey, the average property tax bill
alone was nearly $8,300 last year and
there are scores of towns where the
average bill is above the $10,000
threshold.
At the Cherry Hill tax office, the big
question was how much to prepay.
Some people heard they’d be able to
deduct the payment for only one quar-
ter, others the whole year. Lewis Eron
and Gail Trachtenberg were trying a
half year’s payment. “I would pay more
if I could get more tax deductions,”
Eron said.

Maybe. It depends on their circum-
stances.
The child credit is designed to help
working families offset some of the
cost of raising children. Under current
law, the credit lets households reduce
their taxes by up to $1,000 for each
child under their care. The tax overhaul
doubled that credit to $2,000.
It also made more of the credit
refundable. That means that if the cred-
it lowers a family’s tax liability below
taxes for two years.
It’s not clear what deductions the IRS
will accept. The new law specifically
bars taking deductions for income
taxes paid ahead of time, but it is silent
on prepaid local property taxes.
And tax offices in different places
have very different positions on
whether they would accept prepay-
ments.
This week, more than 50 people
called the tax office in the Atlanta sub-
urb of Cobb County to ask about pre-
paying property taxes.
“We’ve told them, ‘Absolutely not!”’
said Tax Commissioner Carla Jackson.
Jackson said there is a long, pre-
scribed process under state law and
state code that requires an assessment,
an opportunity for the homeowner to
appeal and state approval of the county
tax digest among other steps.
It’s the same situation in Missouri.
In California, counties are telling tax-
payers they can pay only the bills due
between February and April.
By contrast, Agawam,
Massachusetts, is mailing property tax
bills a few days early this year so peo-
ple can know the amount if they want
to prepay. And Cook County, Illinois,
made it easier to prepay.
zero, they can still receive the balance
of the credit in the form of a tax refund.
And more people will now be eligible
to claim the credit because the income
level at which it phases out has been
raised.
On the surface, this sounds like
happy news for American families. Yet
tax experts say the expanded child
credit will actually provide little relief
for some of the lowest-income fami-
lies.

Video: Train crew not using
electronic devices before crash
SEATTLE — Video from the cab of the Amtrak train that
hurtled off the tracks in Washington state, killing three peo-
ple and injuring dozens, shows that the engineer did not
appear to be using a cellphone or any other personal elec-
tronic device just before the derailment, federal investiga-
tors said Friday.
The video and audio captured from a camera facing inside
the cab also revealed that the engineer was heard comment-
ing about the train’s speed just before the train crashed while
traveling more than double the posted 30 mph (48 kph)
speed limit. But authorities did not provide a transcript of
what he said, saying only in a summary of the comments
that “about six seconds prior to the derailment, the engineer
made a comment regarding an over speed condition.”
The video also showed that the engineer did not place the
train’s brake handle in emergency-braking mode as the loco-
motive was recorded traveling 78 mph (126 kph), according
to the preliminary details of an investigation by the
National Transportation Safety Board.

Immigrant teen denied

and it may only get crazier
By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — What’s a bitcoin
worth? Lately nobody knows for
sure, but after a wild ride on Friday,
it’s worth a good deal less than it was
Thursday.
After losses over the last few days,
the digital currency fell as much as 30
percent overnight in Asia, and the
action became so frenzied that the
website Coinbase suspended trading.
It later made up much of that ground,
and slumped 9.5 percent to $14,042
Friday, according to the tracking site
CoinDesk.
Experts are warning that bitcoin is
a bubble about to burst, but things
might get crazier before it does: A lot
of people have heard of bitcoin by
now, but very few people own it.
“Bubbles burst when the last buyers
are in,” said Brett Ewing, chief mar-
ket strategist for First Franklin.
“Who are the last buyers? The general
public, unfortunately.”
Ewing said 40 percent of bitcoin
belongs to just 1,000 people, and
hedge funds and other major
investors are going to start buying it
soon. But those funds may buy bit-
coin and also protect themselves by
placing bets that it will fall. Retail
investors may just buy it only to see
it fall.
“I think investors should approach
it with caution and I think many peo-
ple will dive into it not understand-
ing what it is,” he said.
As bitcoin skyrocketed this
month, the volume of trading was
unprecedented as investors hoping to
catch a ride up piled in. Prices have
risen so fast, the Friday returned the
price of bitcoin only to where it was
trading two weeks ago.
The volatility has created a circus-
like atmosphere. Some companies
that have added the word “bitcoin” or
related terms to their names to get in
on the action. The craziest thing is,
it’s worked.
Long Island Iced Tea Corp. until
this week had been known for its
peach-, raspberry-, guava-, lemon-
and mango-flavored drinks. Then, on
Thursday, the company announced a
radical rebranding. It’s changing its
name to Long Blockchain Corp. ,
shifting its primary focus from iced
tea to “the exploration of and invest-
ment in opportunities that leverage
the benefits of blockchain technolo-
gy.”
Blockchain is a ledger where trans-
actions of digital currencies, like bit-
coin, are recorded.
Shares in Long Island Iced Tea
soared 200 percent in one day.
The Hicksville, New York, compa-
ny did what investors are doing,
hitching a ride on a currency that
raced from less than $10,000 at the
end of November to almost $20,000
on Sunday.
And it cost less than $1,000 at the
beginning of the year.
The rise of price of bitcoin, which
is still difficult to use if you actually
want to buy something, has led to
heated speculation about when the
bubble might burst.
abortion threatened to hurt herself
HOUSTON — An immigrant teen who was denied an abor-
tion by a U.S. government official, even though her preg-
nancy was caused by rape, had threatened to harm herself if
she was forced to have the child, according to a government
memo released Friday.
The memo is addressed to Scott Lloyd, director of the
Office of Refugee Resettlement, which shelters thousands of
unaccompanied immigrant minors in the U.S. without legal
permission. The American Civil Liberties Union posted the
memo as part of its ongoing lawsuit over abortion access for
immigrant minors in custody.
The document describes how the teen was raped in her
home country and believed she had become pregnant as a
result. According to the memo, written by the Office of
Refugee Resettlement’s deputy director, she told a doctor
during her first pre-natal visit that she wanted an abortion.
Alabama to officially end
its scandal-tinged U.S. Senate race
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama election officials say
they will certify Democratic candidate Doug Jones’ upset
victory over Republican rival Roy Moore next week.
The Alabama Secretary of State announced in a statement
Friday that the election results would be finalized next
Thursday.
Jones defeated Moore on Dec. 12 to become the first
Democrat elected to the Senate from Alabama in a quarter-
century. Moore was besieged by decades-old accusations of
sexual misconduct involving teenage girls when he was in
his 30s. He has denied the allegations.

Tireless Serra takes down Bgame

Durant leads Dubs

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The host Notre Dame-Belmont girls’ bas-
ketball team opened the Steve Geramoni
Memorial tournament Thursday night with a
tough 51-46 loss to San Joaquin Memorial.
A game that saw the Tigers have two players
score 20 or more points, but little contribu-
tion from anyone else.
Coach Josh Davenport said before Friday
afternoon’s game against Washington-SF
in the consolation bracket semifinals that
getting a more balanced scoring punch was
important.
While the Tigers took care of that, with
eight of 11 players getting in the scoring
column in a 51-34 victory, there were plen-
ty of other issues Davenport saw to know
that his team is far from a finished product.
Davenport’s primary concern was watch-
ing his second- and third-string players
struggle to score. After scoring 23 points in
the first quarter, the Tigers’ reserves were
held to just 2 over the final eight minutes of
the game, narrowly avoiding being shut out
in the quarter on a Mahek Pombra bucket
with five seconds left in the game.
“That’s going to be a topic of conversa-
tion,” Davenport said. “I need the seconds
(second-string players) to step up. … You
never know when your number will be
called.”
But Davenport even put the onus on his
starters to figure things out. After running
out to a big lead at halftime, 36-10,
Davenport said he intentionally did not call
any set plays for his starters in the third
quarter. Instead, he wanted his players to
figure out how to run the offense.
“I wanted to see them make plays out of
the base (offense),” Davenport said. “Your
stuff (set plays) is not always going to
work.”
Overall, however, it was hard for
Davenport to complain about his team’s
performance. His main goal of getting oth-
ers involved offensively worked. The Tigers
were led by senior post Olga Faasolo, who
finished with 15 points. Freshman point Notre Dame-Belmont forward Olga Faasolo splits a pair of Washington defenders on a drive

Florida, Texas may attract athletes after tax change

By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Teams in Texas, Florida,
Nevada and Washington state may have
become more attractive destinations for free
agents following the enactment of tax law
changes.
Deductions for state and local taxes are
capped at $10,000 in the year starting Jan.
1 for married couples filing jointly. That
has a huge impact for athletes with seven-
and eight-figure salaries.
“Obviously, the zero income-tax states
have now more of an advantage than
before,” said baseball agent Scott Boras,
who is negotiating big-money deals this
offseason for free agents J.D. Martinez, Eric
Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Jake Arrieta and
Greg Holland.
Geography, family comforts, playing
time and winning remain the most impor-
tant factors for many.
“I understand the tax differential issue but
have rarely thought it was outcome determi-
native in where a player signs,” baseball
Commissioner Rob Manfred said.
But the teams in states with a higher per-
centage of take-home pay make their advan-
tage known.
“All teams in tax-free states do,” Dallas
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said.
The $10,000 limit also includes deduc-
tions for property and sales taxes — large
numbers for the most prominent athletes.
At the same time, the top tax rate has been
lowered to 37 percent for single filers earn-
ing more than $500,000 and married cou-
ples filing jointly earning more than
$600,000. That is down from 39.6 percent
for single filers earning more than
$418,400 and married couples filing joint-
ly earning more than $470,700.
For baseball, the AL West becomes the
most attractive for tax status. The World
Series champion Houston Astros, along
with the Texas Rangers and Seattle

Raiders’ Lynch fined $24,309
by NFL for shouting at official
NEW YORK — Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn
Lynch has been fined $24,309 by the NFL for yelling at a
game official last Sunday against Dallas.
At the end of the Cowboys’ 20-17 vic-
tory, Oakland quarterback Derek Carr fum-
bled the ball out of the end zone while
trying to dive for a touchdown. The play
was ruled a touchback. An angry Lynch
shouted at a sideline official and needed to
be restrained by teammates.
Lynch, who was penalized for unsports-
manlike conduct, was suspended for one
Marshawn game in October after making contact
Lynch with an official.
San Francisco’s Elvis Dumervil was
docked $18,231 on Friday for roughing the passer on
Tennessee’s Marcus Mariota, while 49ers teammate Eric
Reid was fined $9,115 for an unnecessary roughness call.
Buffalo’s Deon Lacey, Houston’s Johnathan Joseph and
Arizona’s Alex Boone were each fined $18,231 for horsec-
ollar tackles.
Chiefs’ Peters blames self
for flag-tossing suspension
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters
says he chose to throw an officials’ flag in frustration during
a loss to the New York Jets, so he had nobody to blame but
himself for the resulting one-game suspension.
The Pro Bowl alternate spoke to reporters Friday for the
first time since the incident three weeks ago, a full 2 minutes
in which he also professed his affinity for cognac and plan
to beat Miami on Sunday so Chiefs fans can “go home and
put out the cookies and milk for Santa.”
Peters missed the Chiefs’ win over Oakland ago while
serving coach Andy Reid’s suspension, but returned last
week against the Chargers to pick off two passes and force a
fumble in a 30-13 victory.
The win left the Chiefs needing only to beat the Dolphins
to win the AFC West.

Foles has fond memories of
playing against the Raiders
By Rob Maaddi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Since the last time the Philadelphia
Eagles saw the Oakland Raiders, Nick Foles was traded,
released, contemplated retirement and returned as a backup
quarterback.
Foles tied an NFL record with seven touchdown passes in
Philadelphia’s 49-20 win at Oakland on
Nov. 3, 2013. His performance sparked
an impressive turnaround and the Eagles
went 7-1 in the second half after a 3-5
start to win the NFC East title in Chip
Kelly’s first season.
“Our team was trying to figure out our
identity at that point,” Foles said. “We
had ups and downs and we were trying to
Nick Foles put it all together. I look back at that day
as sort of our ‘aha’ moment, like we can
do this, we know who we are, we know we can be explosive,
and we took off at that point.”
Kelly traded Foles after the 2014 season and was fired the
following year. Foles spent one season in St. Louis, anoth-
er in Kansas City and returned to Philadelphia to back up
Carson Wentz.
Now, he’s the starter looking to help Philadelphia (12-2)
win a Super Bowl. The Eagles host the Raiders (6-8) on
Christmas night needing a victory to secure the NFC’s No.
1 seed. They would lock it up before taking the field if the
Vikings (11-3) lose at Green Bay (7-7) on Saturday night.
Here are some things to watch for when the Raiders visit
Philadelphia on Monday night:
Filling in
The Raiders will be missing a key piece on the offensive
line after Pro Bowl left tackle Donald
Penn underwent surgery on his injured
right foot. Penn had started 170 straight
regular-season games before the injury,
but did miss Oakland’s playoff game a
year ago with a knee problem. The
Raiders haven’t decided whether they will
replace Penn with rookie David Sharpe or
by moving right tackle Marshall
Newhouse to the left side and inserting
Donald Penn Vadal Alexander. Sharpe has played three
snaps on offense all year and struggled in
that brief time earlier this month against the Giants when
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Penn went down.
“It made me want more,” he said. “If I get the opportuni-
ty, I can’t wait to get out there. It wasn’t the best of snaps,
but it was definitely a learning experience.”
Lack of urgency
The Eagles haven’t missed a beat on offense since Wentz
tore his ACL against the Rams on Dec. 10. But the defense
has allowed 36 points in five quarters. Defensive coordina-
tor Jim Schwartz blamed it on a lack of urgency.
“We needed to come out with more fire,” Schwartz said
about the defense giving up three consecutive TD drives to
start the game in last week’s 34-29 win at the Giants.
Coach Doug Pederson suggested guys overlooked New
York (2-12).
“We’ve all been in situations where sometimes you know
you’re probably going to win the football game, but at the
same time, you either look past it or whatever,” Pederson
said.
Improved D
The Raiders’ defense has shown major signs of improve-
ment since firing defensive coordinator
Ken Norton Jr. last month and replacing
him as play caller with John Pagano.
The change has been dramatic as Oakland
has as many sacks the past four games
(14) as in the first 10, and has all four
interceptions this season since the
change. The passer rating against the
Raiders has dropped from 113.3 to 75.9.
“I think he’s done a good job of pro-
John Pagano viding clarity on assignments,” coach
Jack Del Rio said. “I think he’s a good
teacher. I think he does a good job with the group. I’m
pleased with the way he’s worked at it, but it’s exactly what
I expected him to do.”
Run for it
Raiders quarterback Derek Carr used his legs for a change
last week in a development that pleased Del Rio. Carr
scrambled four times for 47 yards in the loss to Dallas,
including a 32-yarder that set up a touchdown. That run was
his longest since a 41-yarder against Houston in the second
game of his career in 2014, and the 47 yards were the most
he’s had since gaining 58 in that game against the Texans.
Carr hadn’t had more than one run in a game this season,
excluding kneel-downs.

Garoppolo faces toughest test yet in Jaguars’ defense

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Jimmy Garoppolo has
started his tenure with San Francisco better
than any quarterback has done with a new
team.
The player who brought
hope to the 49ers after
three-plus years of strug-
gles in San Francisco will
be in for his toughest test
yet this week.
Garoppolo and the 49ers
(4-10) host the playoff-
bound Jacksonville
Jimmy Jaguars (10-4) on Sunday,
Garoppolo
facing their punishing
defense that leads the NFL in fewest points
allowed, most sacks and lowest yards per play
against.
“I look forward to it a lot, for our whole
team,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “I do
believe that they have as much qualities as
anyone that it takes to win a Super Bowl; a top
defense, a very good running game, a good
offense, good special teams. When you see a
team like that on tape that you believe has
that ability, it’s a good thing, it’s a good chal-
lenge for your team to go against them and see
where you’re at.”
The Niners have done quite well since mak-
ing Garoppolo the starter earlier this month
in Chicago. He joined Hall of Famer Y.A.
Tittle as the only 49ers quarterbacks to win
his first three starts with the franchise and is
the first quarterback to do that with any team
while throwing for at least 1,000 yards in
those games, according to the Elias Sports
Bureau.
That performance is not lost on the Jaguars,
who can clinch their first division title since
1999 with a win.
“He is a really good NFL quarterback,”
coach Doug Marrone said. “We know that.
That’s on film. That’s on tape. That’s not
something we have to fabricate or make him
seem better than he is. He’s as good as it gets
right now for what’s going on around the
league.”
While Garoppolo has played as well as any
quarterback the past three weeks, the Jaguars
have been tops in the league on defense all “It’s probably one of the toughest areas in
year with a unit modeled after the one that has football offensively to execute,” Garoppolo

Two officials convicted at FIFA trial; third awaits verdict
By Tom Hays
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Two former South
American soccer officials were convicted
Friday of corruption charges at the first U.S.
trial stemming from the FIFA bribery scan-
dal, while deliberations will continue next
week for a third official.
A federal jury in New York deliberated a
week before reaching the partial verdict.
Jose Maria Marin and Juan Angel Napout,
were found guilty of the top count they
faced, racketeering conspiracy. Marin, the
former president of Brazil’s soccer federa-
tion, and Napout, formerly president of
Paraguay’s soccer federation and of the
South American soccer governing body
CONMEBOL, also were convicted of wire
fraud conspiracy.
But Napout was acquitted of money laun-
dering conspiracy. And Marin was convicted
on money laundering conspiracy charges,
but acquitted of one charge of money laun-
dering conspiracy.
Jurors remained undecided about the single
racketeering charge against Manuel Burga,
the former president of Peru’s soccer federa-
tion.
U.S. District Judge Pamela Chen immedi-
ately jailed Marin, 85, and Napout, 59, after
prosecutors argued that they had the connec-
tions and the wealth to flee the U.S. to avoid
prison terms she said could be more than 10
years on the racketeering charge alone.
Afterward, their lawyers said they were dis-
appointed by the verdict.
“We’re going to continue fighting to
absolve Mr. Napout,” said defense attorney
SPORTS
Silvia Pinera.
Burga, 60, remained
free on bail and was to
return to court on Tuesday
for further jury delibera-
tions. His lawyer, Bruce
Udolf, said his client was
hopeful that the jury
would clear him.
Jose World soccer’s govern-
Maria Marin ing body said it is will
seek compensation and a
share of the cash.
FIFA said in a statement
to The Associated Press
that “as the jury has found
a number of defendants
guilty of the charged
crimes, FIFA will now
take all necessary steps
to seek restitution and
Juan Angel recover any losses caused
Napout by their misconduct.”
Marin, Burga and
Napout had been arrested in 2015.
Prosecutors accused them of agreeing to take
millions of dollars in bribes from business-
men seeking to lock up lucrative media
rights or influence hosting rights for the
World Cup and other major tournaments con-
trolled by FIFA.
The three were among more than 40 peo-
ple and entities in the world of global soccer
who faced criminal charges in the U.S. in
connection with what prosecutors said were
schemes involving hundreds of millions of
dollars in bribes and kickbacks. Many of the
other defendants pleaded guilty.
Their trial ended up being colored by odd
twists: an unproven accusation that Burga
threatened a witness; a juror booted for
sleeping through testimony; word from
Buenos Aires that an Argentine lawyer had
killed himself there hours after being named
at the trial as a bribe-taker; and the surprise
testimony of a former member of the Jonas
Brothers, an American pop rock band.
The government’s star witness, a former
marketing executive from Argentina,
Alejandro Burzaco, testified that he and his
company arranged to pay $160 million in
bribes over the course of several years.
Some of the money was demanded by a FIFA
official in exchange for helping rig a vote
that gave Qatar hosting rights for the World
Cup in 2022, he said.
“You’ve seen a lot of paper, some of it
quite complex,” Nitze said in closing argu-
ments. “There are cases that present myster-
ies to be solved — whodunits. This is not
one of them.”
Prosecutors said that driven by greed,
Burga took $4.4 million in bribes, Marin
took $6.6 million and Napout collected
$10.5 million.
The defense argued that the men were inno-
cent bystanders framed by Burzaco and other
untrustworthy cooperators angling for
leniency in their own cases. Napout’s lawyer
told jurors the prosecution had failed to pro-
duce records of wire transfers or large bank
deposits that could prove he was receiving
piles of bribe money.
“They say cash is king, but where did it
go?” said the attorney, John Pappalardo.
“There was not one penny they could trace to
Juan.”
Marin’s lawyer called his client a clueless

figurehead, saying the person making the
real decisions was Marco Polo del Nero, the
head of Brazil’s soccer federation. Del Nero
is charged in the U.S. case but hasn’t been
extradited from Brazil. FIFA suspended him
from the sport Friday.
Burga’s lawyers zeroed in on evidence that
ledgers by sports-marketing officials
showed he hadn’t received the cash.
Prosecutors said Burga, aware he was under
investigation in Peru, told bribe-payers to
hold onto his money and pay him later.
One witness described that listed bribes
for Napout, including an entry for Paul
McCartney concert tickets worth more than
$10,000. After the defense questioned
whether the concert actually took place, the
government called Kevin Jonas to testify
that he attended the show as a spectator.
Another cooperator, Brazilian business-
man Jose Hawilla, agreed to wear a wire for
the FBI to make recordings played at the
trial.
One included a conversation he had with
Marin in 2014 in which prosecutors say the
defendant negotiated a bribe by saying, “It’s
about time to have it coming my way. True
or not?”
Hawilla responded: “Of course. That
money had to be given to you.”
Burga got some unwanted attention early
in the trial when prosecutors claimed he
unnerved Burzaco by directing a threatening
gesture at him — running his fingers across
his throat in a slicing motion. The lawyer
claimed his client was merely scratching his
throat, but the judge took the incident seri-
ously enough to tighten Burga’s house arrest
conditions.

NHL embraces holiday roster freeze

By Stephen Whyno
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Greg Millen thought he had an extension
from the St. Louis Blues to celebrate at
Christmas in 1989.
Instead, he was traded. So there he was,
sitting in the living room with his family
as a Quebec Nordiques executive brought
logo-covered pajamas and gifts for his three
young daughters to convince the goaltender
to report to his new team.
“It was very close to Christmas when that
happened,” Millen said. “I think I reported
right afterward on my own, which was very
difficult. It was all during the holidays this
was going on. That was a tough one.”
The very next year, on Dec. 21, 1990, the
Pittsburgh Penguins traded Rob Brown to
the Hartford Whalers for Scott Young, and
on Dec. 23, 1991, the Los Angeles Kings
traded Corey Millen to the New York
Rangers for Randy Gilhen.

win in a row at home against the Lakers and
sixth overall after Golden State outlasted the
Lakers in overtime Monday night in Los
Angeles.
Kerr and Lakers coach and former top Golden
State assistant Luke Walton had a nice chat
near the Warriors bench after the final buzzer.
Still without two-time MVP Curry, Golden
State got some much-needed reinforcements.
Green returned after missing five of six
games with soreness in his right shoulder,
while Andre Iguodala also was back after sit-
ting out Wednesday night’s win against
Memphis with flu-like symptoms.
“That was huge. I don’t think we win that
game without Andre and Draymond,” Kerr
said. “It’s great to have Draymond back after
his absence. He brings an energy to the game
that otherwise was lacking last game.”
The Lakers, who trailed by as many as 23
in the third quarter before getting within 84-
72 going into the final 12 minutes, briefly
took their first lead of the night at 89-88 on
Randle’s 3-pointer with 7:43 remaining.
Los Angeles cut the lead to 86-81 on a steal
by Josh Hart and Kuzma’s layup with 9:39
left, then 88-86 when Kentavious Caldwell-
Pope hit a 3-pointer at the 8:09 mark.
“The way they compete night in and night
out playing against some really good teams
lately is really impressive,” Walton said.
Tip-ins
Durant went 12 for 13 at the line — mak-
ing his first seven — to go over the 1,000
mark for career free throws. ... Shaun
Livingston (sore right knee) and Zaza
Pachulia (left shoulder soreness) were still
out for Golden State. Pachulia missed his
sixth straight game and seventh in eight,
while Livingston sat out his third in a row.

code,” baseball agent Jay Reisinger said. “They already had
an advantage by virtue of no state income tax, but this will
be magnified under the new tax code. Agents will also seek
tax-equalization language in the event of a trade.”
Knowing the Marlins have frequently sold off stars, Dee
Gordon, Wei-Yin Chen and Christian Yelich had tax equal-
ization provisions as part of their multiyear contracts with
Miami.
California has the highest state tax in 2017, a 13.3 per-
cent rate that includes a 1 percent mental health services tax
for income over $1 million.
New York has a top tax rate of 8.82 percent, and New York
City has a maximum rate of 3.876 percent for a 12.696 per-
cent total.
An athlete making $10 million a season will get a federal
tax savings of about $250,000 with the cut in the top rate.
But one who plays half his games in California will lose
roughly $650,000 in deductions: half the approximately
$1.3 million state tax. That wipes out the entire savings of
the federal rate cut.
“The new U.S. tax law, in particular the loss of miscella-
neous itemized deductions, will have a significant impact on
NHL hockey players,” said hockey agent Allan Walsh.
A player who maintains an offseason residence in Florida
or one of the other states with no tax — Alaska, South
Dakota and Wyoming are in that group — would benefit by
having more of his money paid in a signing bonus rather
than salary that is attributable to a specific game. Nationals
pitcher Max Scherzer’s $210 million, seven-year contract
with Washington includes a $50 million signing bonus that
he intended to shield from the District of Columbia’s top tax
rate — 8.85 percent this year — by establishing Florida res-
idency.
Under the new law, union dues and agent commissions are
no longer deductible. An agency employee said players had
called at the behest of their financial advisers asking if they
could pre-pay commissions before Dec. 31 on deals to be
negotiated later this offseason. The employee spoke to The
Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was
not authorized to make public statements.
The Major League Baseball Players Association received
nearly $17.6 million in 2016 from daily dues, currently $80
during the season. The NFL Players Association raised just
over $33.5 million in dues in the year ending Feb. 28.
The MLBPA may consider moves to lessen the impact of
the change in tax treatment for dues.
“It’s unfortunate when looking at ways to cut taxes that
things went the other way with respect to those who work
under the umbrella of a union or as a union member,” said
baseball union head Tony Clark, a former All-Star first base-
man.
Owners and management feared a provision in the original
version approved by the House of Representatives, which
would have prohibited the use of tax-free municipal bonds
for stadium financing. That was dropped from the final leg-
islation.
“We were pleased that the bill did not adversely affect the
tax issues related to stadium financing,” Manfred said.

TIGERS

guard Alaiyah San Juan added 13. Against San Joaquin
Memorial, those two combined for 41 of 46 points.
“It’s a nice 1-2 punch,” Davenport said of the San Juan-
Faasolo tandem.
Taylor McDonald, another freshman guard, chipped in
with 8 points for the Tigers. Brenna Barrett, a senior who
returned to the court for Notre Dame after sitting out her jun-
ior year, came off the bench to score 6 points. Talia Bertana
had 4 points, while Jasmine Masuda, Emilia Dougherty and
Pombra all had 2 points.
“My top six or seven (players) might be the best I’ve had
since I’ve been here,” Davenport said.
This game was essentially over after the first quarter as
NDB (4-2 overall) opened on an 8-0 run. San Juan opened
the scoring on a dribble-penetration flip shot, followed by
a layup from Faasolo. McDonald added a wing jumper and
followed that with a steal and a layup.
After Washington (1-5) scored on 1 of 2 free throws, the
Tigers went on 12-0 run for a 20-1 lead. Faasolo showed her
inside-out game as she drained a spot-up 3-pointer. She then
added a garbage bucket by outhustling the Eagles, coming
up with a loose ball and putting it away.
SPORTS
San Juan then hit the first of her three 3-pointers, Bertana
knocked down a baseline jumper, Thompson converted
another layup and San Juan capped the quarter with another
3 as the Tigers led 23-5 after one quarter of play.
NDB cooled off a bit in the second quarter, scoring only
13 points. But after Washington opened the second-quarter
scoring with a layup off a steal, the Tigers responded with
13 unanswered points. Barrett scored on a putback to open
the scoring and then capped the run with a layup off the
press break as the Tigers went into the half leading 36-10.
“That first half was fun to watch,” Davenport said.
Notre Dame managed only 15 points in the second half
and were actually outscored by the Eagles 22-15.
“When I called off the press, I think we lost a little bit of
our juice in the second half,” Davenport said.
Despite the reduced scoring, the Tigers still managed to
open their biggest lead of the night when they led by 30,
49-19, after three quarters.
The fourth quarter was merely a formality at that point.
“It was a good experience for us,” Davenport said. “We
were able to work on some stuff and we got better.”
The win sends the Tigers into the consolation final
against Woodside Priory Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. at
Notre Dame-Belmont.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL
Serra senior Colin McCarthy, right, drives against Burlingame’s
Cal Spurlock en route to scoring a team-high 17 points.
HOOPS
Continued from page 11
Winless Burlingame (0-7), backed by a game-high 25
points from senior Cal Spurlock, made a game of it. With
three minutes remaining in the third quarter, neither team
had led by more than 3, when Spurlock drove to the hoop to
tie it 30-30.
Over the final 15 minutes, though, Serra closed with a furi-
ous pace to double its scoring total. McCarthy was a strong
and steady presence in going for a team-high 17 points. But
it was the Padres’ fourth-quarter takeaways that doomed the
Panthers. Serra totaled five steals in the final period, each
going for transition points.
The Padres shot 57.1 percent on the night, including a
perfect 11 for 11 in the fourth quarter.
“It was good to see our defense create offense,” Rapp said.
“We’ve been preaching that and this is the first time it’s
really come to fruition. So, it was good to see.”
Spurlock has been a one-man scoring show for
Burlingame this season — among teams reporting statistics
at MaxPreps.com, he entered play ranking sixth in the
Central Coast Section with 19.8 points per game — and he
set a fast pace by scoring eight points in the first quarter.
“Yeah he has (been a presence),” Burlingame head coach
Pete Harames said. “We’ve got to get some other guys
going.”
The Panthers saw signs of other scorers coming around.
Senior forward Robert Uhrich added 10 points, and senior
guard Gavin Coleman capped the opening quarter with a cut-
ting drive and sweet underhanded layup to give Burlingame a
13-12 lead. And after a second-quarter defensive battle, the
two teams went into the halftime locker room deadlocked at
22-22.
After the break though, fatigue began to wear on the
Panthers while the Padres proved indefatigable. Serra senior
Denzel McCollum came off the bench to score 10 points,
including a ferocious baseline drive and electrifying dunk to
cap a 7-0 run, giving the Padres breathing room with a 37-
30 lead.
One minute into the fourth quarter, Spurlock knocked
down his third 3 of the contest to close it to 39-36. But Serra
responded with another 7-0 run, including takeaways for
fast-break transition scores by McCarthy and senior guard
Jumikal Williams-Choa.
“I thought [Williams-Choa] really changed the tenor of
the game with his defensive prowess,” Rapp said.
Burlingame totaled 17 turnovers throughout to Serra’s 10.
“That’s been our problem this year,” Harames said. “And
we kept away from it until the fourth quarter.”
Rapp feeling good
Prior to this season, the last game Rapp had served as
Serra’s head coach was in the CIF Division II State Boys’
Basketball Championship victory to cap the 2015-16 sea-
son. He sat out last season while mending from hip surgery,
turning over the team to assistant coach Sean Dugoni, who
served as interim head coach.
“I kind of stayed away; it was really too hard,” Rapp said.
“Watching it was like watching something you love and not
being a part of it. It was difficult to me and I thought I might
be a distraction to the team. So, I just kind of took myself
out of the equation and just kind of kept my distance.”
An animated sideline presence, jokingly referred to in
some circles as the best sixth man in the West Catholic
Athletic League for consistently encroaching on the play-
ing floor, Rapp looked more like his old self Friday than he
has in years.
“It feels good,” Rapp said. “I’m still kind of dealing with
some issues with my hip. It feels good to be back coaching
again. I certainly missed dealing with the young kids and the
relationships you form. … So it feels good to be back in the
saddle again.”

Winter celebrations
By Charlie Chapman

I
n a time of peaking political polar-
ization, the strength to repair
schisms that have developed in our
country, communities and families can
only be found in mutual acknowledgment
and celebration of our differences. The holi-
day season encompass several religious and
cultural events that hold great importance
for people around our country and world.
The occurrence of these events provides us
the opportunity to cherish the beliefs that
we hold, no matter how
we choose to celebrate
them. Our celebrations
should not be a time to
feel defensive of our own
traditions but instead to
feel proud of our differ-
ences and feel connected
through our similarities.
The individual celebra-

‘Pitch Perfect 3’ not the

aca-peak of this series
By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sorry, Pitches, but it’s a good thing
“Pitch Perfect 3” is billed as the farewell
tour for this musical franchise. It hasn’t
jumped the shark, exactly, but it does send
its singing Bellas jumping off an explod-
ing yacht. Because that’s what a cappella
competitions are about!
The cast may be delightful and the musi-
cal sequences shine, but after three go-
rounds, the premise is played out. Many of
the funny lines feel forced and the whole
film seems like it’s trying too hard. The
success of the first two movies means this
final installment enjoyed a bigger budget,
evidenced by glamorous European settings
and the yacht explosion, but it’s all
overkill for a story centered on the joy of
music and the bonds of female friendship.
Not to say “Pitch Perfect 3” is a total
bust. The performances dazzle (director
Trish Sie is a veteran of music videos),
Anna Kendrick has a gorgeous voice, and
Rebel Wilson soars, her character Fat Amy

MONEY
Continued from page 19
When he was taken, Getty, then one of the
richest men in the world, told reporters: “If
I pay one penny now, I’ll have 14 kid-
napped children.”
“All the Money in the World” ought to
have aimed more ambitiously for the com-
plete tragedy of the Gettys, or stuck more
resolutely to Gail’s perspective. Instead, it
bounces erratically between its main play-
ers and loses steam every time Williams
leaves the screen. At times it’s preoccupied
with studying the astonishing greed of its
penny-pinching Scrooge, at others with
trailing the thrilling plot of Gail’s pursuit

of Paul. It doesn’t necessarily follow any
one character. It follows the money.
Opening with a black-and-white sequence
of the kidnapping in Rome, Scott’s movie
continuously cuts to Paul’s travails as the
prisoner of Calabrian bandits. Expecting a
quick payday, they settle in the mountains
of Southern Italy for months, growing
increasingly impatient.
Seesawing between the mafia-controlled
hills of Italy and the mammoth English
estate of Getty’s, “All the Money in the
World” seeks for a larger portrait of people
prioritizing money over basic human
decency — of putting the art of the deal
above all else, you might say. When first
told of the kidnapping, Getty doesn’t even
look up from the stock ticker.
It’s hard not to spend some of the film’s
running time wondering what Spacey might

have brought to the movie. I suspect his
performance would have been icier, and per-
haps smacked of stunt. (Spacey donned
copious makeup and prosthetics to age him
into the role.) Plummer, on the other hand,
quite naturally feasts on the part, fully
embodying Getty’s privilege and power.
At 88, Plummer has spent much of his
superlative late period playing King Lears
presiding over the ends of their empires.
Give him a mansion and a backstory, and
he’ll go to town (just as he did earlier this
year in the World War II thriller “The
Exception”). But the miserly Getty of “All
the Money in the World,” so totally focused
on his fortune, makes the Grinch look like a
philanthropist.
Aside from the audaciousness of its last-
minute face-lift, “All the Money in the
World” is fairly routine. If Scott was replac-

ing stars, he might as well have yanked
Wahlberg while he was at it. The story does-
n’t suit the action star’s considerable gifts,
and he’s out of place from the start.
Still, the extreme measures taken by Scott
are fitting. The restless director is driven by
an obsession for work not so different than
Getty’s. (This is the second film Scott has
directed and the 10th project he’s produced
this year. He’s 80.) Only when a crisis took
his movie hostage, Scott immediately
intervened at an estimated cost of $8 mil-
lion. The lesson holds: Just pay the ran-
som.
“All the Money in the World,” a Sony
Pictures release, is rated R by the Motion
Picture Association of America for “lan-
guage, some violence, disturbing images
and brief drug content.” Running time: 132
minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

no longer just the butt of every obvious

This is really Wilson’s movie.
Performing physical comedy with the ease
of Lucille Ball, the Australian actress liter-
ally throws herself into her scenes, includ-
ing a dynamic fight sequence where she
uses sausages as nunchucks. It’s high-

capable and committed in executing the
film’s fight choreography than she is dur-
ing the dance numbers.
The Bellas graduated from college in
WEEKEND JOURNAL
“Pitch Perfect 2,” so there are no more a
cappella competitions for them. But as the
women struggle to find footing as adults
in the workforce, they long for simpler
times of singing together. One member,
whose father is in the military, suggests
they join a USO tour to entertain the
troops.
The tour also ends up being a competi-
tion, of course, overseen by DJ Khaled,
who cameos as himself. It’s an over-
wrought setup that the screenplay by Kay
Cannon and Mike White tries to justify
with self-aware quips like, “That was a lot
of exposition.”
The Bellas are woefully outmatched by
their competitors, who all play instru-
ments as well as sing. The group’s main
rival is the awesomely named Evermoist,
an all-female band fronted by actress Ruby
Rose, who could have used a bigger role.
Thankfully, music remains a highlight
here. There are the requisite riff-offs and
playful pop covers. The “Toxic” routine
that opens the film is outstanding.
Mysteriously in tow on the USO tour are
a cappella commentators Gail and John
(Elizabeth Banks and John Michael
Higgins), who presided over past “Pitch
Perfect” competitions. The snarky duo has
always openly doubted if not downright
hated the Bellas, but now they’re appar-
ently making a documentary about the
group, which is weird.
The story goes over the top with John
Lithgow, who shows up with an extreme
Australian accent as Fat Amy’s estranged
dad. There are also a couple of romantic

subplots that don’t really pay off,
although the meet-cute between mostly
mute Lilly (Hana Mae Lee) and a silent DJ
(D.J. Looney) is a surprise treat.
Where the previous films painted the
Bellas as scrappy underdogs, here they’re
kind of sad sacks who can’t cope with adult
life.
That’s a real challenge for anyone after
college, but fans of the Bellas know they
have their friendship to fall back on. In
the “Pitch Perfect” world, that’s what a
cappella competitions are all about.
“Pitch Perfect 3,” a Universal Pictures
release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion
Picture Association of America for “crude
and sexual content, language and some
action.” Running time: 94 minutes. Two
stars out of four.

son in a similar way to their Christian
classmates. This occurrence provided them
with the ability to feel connected with their
community while still feeling proud of
their own spiritual beliefs.
The annual winter solstice which
occurred on Dec. 21 this year is a pagan
holiday that celebrates the day of the year
with the shortest amount of sunlight. The
celebratory aspect of this holiday grew out
of the belief that the darkest part of winter
was over and that the amount of sunlight
each day would slowly increase. Many his-
torians hypothesize that the celebration of
the solstice in December resulted in
Christmas being celebrated on the 25th.
Jesus was not born in December although
the celebration takes place then, possibly
due to the fact that December was already a
month of celebration due to the solstice.
Both events celebrate birth and the magic
accompanying it, with the solstice honor-
ing the return of the sun and Christians cel-
ebrating the birth of Christ.
The importance of the days themselves
provide further opportunity to feel con-
nected with members of the community
that participate in the holiday season dif-
ferently than you. Hanukkah and Christmas
are both inseparable from the occurrence of
miracles. Hanukkah’s lighting of candles
over the eight-day celebration is in recog-
nition of the miracle of the lights within
the temple remaining on for eight days
even though the supply of oil provided to
them should not have allowed for that to
occur. Christmas recognizes the birth of
Jesus Christ as a gift from God, with the
immaculate conception and his delivery to
the world considered a miracle by most
believers. These celebrations of the occur-
rence of miracles inspire hope for similar
events during the holiday season. The mag-
ical element of the season has grown out of
the widespread belief that this time of year
holds special power to bring hope and
good fortune to the world.
This holiday season, cherish the oppor-
tunity to celebrate alongside your family
and community. No matter your spiritual
connection to certain holidays, everyone
can find common ground in the power of
the season to unite us.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
‘Bright’ is what happens when
Harry Potter vomits on cop flick
By Mark Kennedy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
That old Hollywood standby, the
venerable buddy cop movie, may have
met its anguished demise this holiday
season. Will Smith just killed it.
Virtually every permutation of the
genre has been done — we’ve seen
black cops teamed up with white cops,
black cops with black cops, white cops
and other white cops, a white cop and a
Latino cop, an Irish cop with a Yank
cop, two women cops, and human cops
with dog cops.
Alas, the category will likely not
survive the latest: a human cop teamed
up with an Orc. Yes, that’s right — an
Orc, along with Elves, Fairies and at
least one Centaur. Even with Smith
being his most charming singular
Smith, “Bright” is a total mess.
To prepare for writing “Bright,” it
seems Max Landis decided to throw
every cop film cliche into a Cuisinart,
put it on the high setting and leave the
top off. This film is what happens
when Harry Potter throws up on
“Training Day,” “16 Blocks,” “The
Wire,” “48 Hours” and “Police
Academy.”
It opens in an alternate reality of
South Central Los Angeles — a gritty,
graffiti-covered, gang-infested patrol
area that includes Orcs in thick gold
Holiday wish
’Twas the night before Christmas,
and all through the house
All the creatures were stirring,
including the mouse
And the dogs, the bunnies, the tur-
tles and cats
Awaiting the Big Guy (you know:
white beard and a sack)
They nibbled the cookies, set out
with great care
Careful to avoid getting milk in their
hair
Then they stretched on the carpet,
and lounged on the couch,
“He’s late,” they complained, “that
lazy old slouch!”
They had a proposal they wanted to
place
To Mr. Claus, direct to his face.
But as the night lingered, sleep was
their escape
Except for one kitten climbing the
drapes.
She’d napped most the day and was
now fully alert
(‘Though covered with schmutz,

chains and sweatsuits drinking liquor
in front of burning barrels and listen-
ing to rap. Elves, on the other hand,
seem to be prissy, elitist and vapid.
They live in — wait for it — Elftown.
Smith’s Officer Ward has just returned
to the job after being shot and is
assigned to reunite with his rookie
partner, Nick Jakoby, the first Orc to
serve with the LAPD. Jakoby is played
by Joel Edgerton and he is made to look
like a hunk of Roquefort cheese rotting
on an August afternoon.
Because Orcs have in the past been
horrible to humans, Jakoby faces bitter
resentment from fellow officers, who
call him a “diversity hire.” He also is
hated by his own kind, who consider
him a turncoat. So we are left to wonder
if he’s a cop first or an Orc first. (And
what his ears might taste like on a nice
multigrain cracker.)
It’s a tough spot to be in, made worse
because nobody likes the police. (As
Ward’s daughter points out: “Why do
you have to be a policeman?
Everybody hates policemen.”) Why
does Ward stay on the job? You guessed
it — he’s five years from his pension
(Many thanks, “Lethal Weapon.”)
At this point, the film might have
explored racism and systemic profiling
by having different otherworldly
species represent whites, black,
Latinos and Asians. But that’s not
some dark chim-
ney dirt).
She finally saw
him, black boots
from the flue
White beard, big
tummy: jolly you-
know-old-who.
He ho-ho’d quite
gently, asked had
she been good.
“Skip the pleasantries, ” she
responded, “if we just could.
We’ve something to ask, a bit of a
favor:
A change to your flight plans, one
we hope you might savor.
“Instead of the trinkets, bright
baubles and toys,
Deliver us, dear Santa, to good girls
and boys.
There are millions of us homeless, in
shelters we sit.
Use Christmas magic. In your red
sack we’ll fit.”
Santa was touched by this most won-

“Bright.” Instead, the film doubles
down on the fantasy, embarking on a
city-wide nonsensical search for a rare
magic wand. Cue the car chases, over-
the-top gang members, throat slitting,
martial arts moves, torture and gas sta-
tion explosions. (Warning: Many,
many Orcs were harmed making this
film. Logic was also badly injured).
Wait, hold up. Did we really just say
“wand”? Yes indeed, this alternate L.A.
reality may have Uber, former “Fear
Factor” host Joe Rogan, Toyota
Corollas and topless bars, but it also
has a dark prophecy, renegade Elves, a
Magic Task Force and a wand that has
enormous power. “This is like a nuclear
weapon that grants wishes,” we are told
by someone in a straight face. Only a
Bright — a person with supernatural
abilities — can use it correctly. They
might not even know they are a Bright.
You can see where this film is going
even without being very bright.
David Ayer is the director and he’s
had a role in other buddy cop films,
helming “End of Watch” and writing
“Training Day.” This, though, is a
labored affair with little stylistic
coherence. The scenes fit poorly
together and the humor is forced.
Though it’s supposed to span a day and
night, it rains whenever the film needs
that “Blade Runner” brooding wet dark-
ness, a manipulative touch.
drous plan
But some things, he knew, were out
of his hands:
For the answer to the crisis in pet
homelessness
Requires a change in human con-
sciousness.
So he and that kitten now face us and
plead:
Please value these lives, it’s the
coming year’s need.
Respect them and love them, treat
them like treasure
They’ll return those sweet gifts
many times beyond measure.
And in some Christmas future, a true
holiday
Every companion animal has a per-
son for play,
And to love them, yes, and to hon-
estly care:
Then true Christmas for all, for all a
family to share.
Ken White is the president of the Peninsula
Humane Society & SPCA.

the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of

tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin

FRUIT FLY
Continued from page 1
fruit flies will be released every other week
for more than a year as a quarantine of a 56-
square-mile area is in effect. Rules generally
prohibit the removal of any fruit or vegeta-
bles considered host plants being from the
area, including what’s bought at a grocery
store, said county Agricultural
Commissioner Fred Crowder. Due to the
cold climate on the coast, the quarantine and
eradication efforts could go on through
March 2019, he said.
“It takes a long time for them to go
through their life cycle because it’s cooler.
I’m hopeful we can find a way to reduce that,
but I’m concerned we’re going to see project
fatigue on the part of the community,”
Crowder said, adding it’s imperative to pre-
vent the flies from spreading. “It’s a sub-
stantial pest.”
Known as one of the most significant
pests in the world, the Mediterranean fruit
fly has the ability to wreak havoc on nearly
250 different types of host fruit and veg-
etable plants. That includes a lot of back-
yard residential plants like citrus, peaches
and plum trees, as well as a wide variety of
garden vegetables like peppers and toma-
toes. It could also significantly affect agri-
cultural operations and those growing host
plants will have to implement safeguards
during the quarantine or potentially be pro-
LOCAL
hibited from selling outside of the coast,
Crowder explained.
Worst case, it could spread to other areas
of California leading to greater economic
risk for a nearly $11 million annual indus-
try. Experts believe the fly was brought
over, likely on fruit carried in by a traveler
from Hawaii or another country. The flies
lay eggs inside the ripening host fruit or
vegetable. The eggs hatch into maggots and
bore their way out while making the fruit
inedible, according to the county.
Until this winter, the Mediterranean fruit
fly hadn’t been spotted in San Mateo
County for more than two decades. But on
Nov. 14, one fly was detected and another
was caught about a week later. Both speci-
mens were fertile and prompted an extensive
eradication program that may last more than
a year, Crowder said.
The 56-square-mile quarantine area is
roughly bordered by San Vincente Creek on
the north, Lobitos Creek Road to the south,
the Pacific Ocean to the west and on the east
by Lower Crystal Springs reservoir. It
includes the southern tip of Moss Beach, El
Granada, all of Half Moon Bay and the area
surrounding the coastal stretch of State
Route 92.
Currently, larger quarantines are also in
place in Solano and Los Angeles counties,
according to the California Department of
Food and Agriculture.
In San Mateo County, the two flies were
caught in mid- and late-November, one on
the 1000 block of Pacific Avenue and the
other on the 700 block of Second Street.
The first fly prompted a dense distribution
of traps around the site to determine whether
there was a single fly or a breeding popula-
tion. The Nov. 22 capture and ultimate deter-
mination it was a second feral
Mediterranean fruit fly triggered quarantine
regulations, Crowder explained.
The county and CDFA are still working out
the exact terms of the quarantine regula-
tions, however it’s expected to affect any-
one growing host plants, including nurs-
eries and home gardeners, and those selling
products at grocery stores and farmers’ mar-
kets, Crowder said. It also means fruit from
residential trees cannot be taken off the
property.
The approximately 3 million sterile
males are released via low-flying planes
about every other week in a 12-square-mile
area surrounding the main infestation.
While it may sound like a significant num-
ber, Crowder said he doesn’t anticipate resi-
dents to notice much of a difference consid-
ering the nearby airport and existing insect
population.
Continuing outreach to the community
will be key, he said adding they must “thank
them for their support and appreciate their
patience because this is going to be an
inconvenience and it could go on for a
while.”
But it’s a much better alternative to the
days of the “fruit fly wars” in the 1970s and
1980s when large-scale aerial sprayings
were common. The ability to sterilize male
fruit flies and introduce them to disrupt a
breeding female population, allows offi-

cials to avoid chemicals that would other-
wise indiscriminately wipe out other types
of insects, he said.
The sterile flies mate with female flies but
produce no offspring. The population
decreases as the wild flies reach the end of
their natural life span with no offspring to
replace them, according to the CDFA. Due to
the colder climate on the coast, it could take
as long as March 2019 for the program to
eradicate the population, Crowder said.
Aside from the fly release, properties
within 200 meters of the detection sites are
being treated with an organic spray that has
bait and a naturally-occurring bacteria to
kill off the female flies, according to the
CDFA.
The flies, which are native to Africa,
spread to southern Europe, Australia, the
tropics and Hawaii. It was first trapped in
California in 1975 and last found in San
Mateo County in 1994.
Even prior to the outbreak, officials had
been ramping up a “don’t pack a pest” cam-
paign at the San Francisco International
Airport because the most common way
Mediterranean fruit flies are exposed to the
region is by them “hitchhiking” on a fruit
or vegetable someone brings over.
“These flies are brought in from travel-
ers,” Crowder said. “We really ask that the
public help us in these efforts by not bring-
ing back food items and produce from vaca-
tion and other countries.”
