San Carlos to improve Highlands Park
City Council approves additional funds for new park play structures
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Plans to improve San Carlos Highlands
Park got a boost last week when the City
Council approved an additional $100,000
toward new play structures and enhanced
accessibility and safety to go along with
$1.2 million already allocated.
Built in 1998, the play structures at the
northeast corner next to Stadium Field of
the 11-acre Highlands Park have been
deemed to lack creativity, inclusive play
elements and to not meet access and safety
regulations, according to a staff report. In
November, the council approved plans for
the playground, which include a play struc-
ture for toddlers featuring a swing allowing
four children to play on it at the same time
and two treehouse towers connected by a
net bridge designed for children ages 5-12.
A new rubber surface, a restroom with addi-
tional stalls and a sundeck surrounding a
nearby tree that would provide additional
seating are also planned for the space.
Though the lowest company to bid on the
project, McGuire and Hester, submitted a bid
below the $1.2 million dedicated to the
project, an extra $100,000 was requested to
cover a 10 percent contingency included

A beloved polar bear at the San Francisco
Zoo died last week, zoo officials said.
Uulu was 36 years old. She was one of the

the Association of Zoos & Aquariums,

conservation and science.
Uulu experienced a rapid decline in her
health recently because she had congestive
heart failure and because she was old.
We are all tremendously saddened by the

with many city infrastructure projects.
Now that additional funding for the proj-
ect has been approved, construction on the
site will begin in May with the improve-
ments expected to be completed in the fall.
Councilman Mark Olbert asked if funds
the citys Parks and Recreation Foundation
has been collecting could help offset some
portion of $100,000 requested. The group
had had previously donated over $400,000
toward improvements to Burton Park north
of Brittan Avenue.
Liz McGee Min, a board member of the
Parks and Recreation Foundation, expressed
the foundations support of the improve-
ments planned for Highlands Park and said
the foundation could generate funds toward
the park through naming opportunities on
park benches or trees or in giving families
an option to purchase tiles, which they
could decorate and display at the park.
Weve found this way of donating to the
foundation popular among families wishing
to memorialize a loved one or declare their

Uulu was well-known by many zoo
guests and she will be missed by all who
connected with, and cared for her over the
years.
She was rescued and brought to the zoo
when she was three years old, according to
zoo officials.
She came from Churchill, Manitoba,
Canada, where she, her siblings and mom
were problem bears. They were caught
more than once foraging at the dump and
even tried to get into a home.
Uulu had a curious nature and was often

said.
Councilman Cameron Johnson asked
staff whether opportunities for community
members to contribute to putting a local
stamp on the new park elements would be
limited to those who can pay.
We had talked last time about the com-
munity putting a little local stamp on the
park in some way so it didnt look like it
was right out of the catalog. Im glad that
were doing some, I didnt anticipate that
you would have to pay to participate, he
said. I have some small concerns about
potentially excluding people who wouldnt
have the means to do that.
At City Manager Jeff Maltbie and Parks
and Recreation Director Amy Newbys sug-
gestion, Vice Mayor Matt Grocott added to
the approval of funds a provision stipulat-
ing the city would reimburse the Parks and
Recreation Foundation for 20 of the 90 tiles
available for display at the park and give
families at a lower income level an opportu-
nity to decorate them.
In other business, the council also dis-
cussed how the city would design regula-

PARKING
Continued from page 1
to clarify the options available to those visiting downtown
while the site formerly featuring the citys main downtown
parking lot is off limits out of a concern that the interim
options would not provide an adequate number of parking
spots.
This is the biggest lot in town, and its going away, he
said.
To deal with the shortage, Community Development
Director Al Savay reported that the city has made an estimat-
ed 50 spots available at a temporary parking lot at 616 Laurel
St. where the Foodville store stood, with additional public
parking at the SamTrans parking garage at 1250 San Carlos
Ave. expected to help with overflow. He said employee park-
ing at the Clark Plaza parking area west of the shops on the
700 block of Laurel Street would be made available to the
public. That combined with employee permit and construc-
tion parking provided at a vacant SamTrans property along
El Camino Real south of Arroyo Avenue is expected to sup-
plement the number of spots available by mid-April.
Johnson expressed concern about the last few signs direct-
ing drivers to the SamTrans garage from Walnut Street. He
said he didnt feel it was obvious where to turn into the garage
since the large signs directing drivers to the garage arent as
visible once they go north of San Carlos Avenue.

eggs in the SamTrans garage basket, that people know where
to make that turn, he said.
Grassilli asked if drivers attempting to park at the tempo-
rary Laurel Street lot would have space to turn around if the lot
becomes full, noting the narrow design of the parking lot and
congested nature of the street.
Steve Mooney, a representative of Impark, the company
providing parking attendants to manage traffic flow through
downtown, confirmed there would be enough room for a car to
make a U-turn in the lot, and said attendants would be advised
to put a sign in front of the lot when its full so drivers know
not to turn into it at those times.
Heidi Howard, owner of womens clothing boutique Earthy
Treasures at 1221 San Carlos Ave., said Wednesday in her
shop she was disappointed by the design and lack of avail-
ability of interim parking while the site just south of her
store is under construction.
They did not do a good job organizing parking, she said.

Howard said FedEx and UPS drivers attempting to drop off
deliveries to downtown stores and restaurants have found
their work more challenging as well.
Councilman Ron Collins also asked city staff to clarify
how the parking attendants would assist drivers finding the
temporary Laurel Street lot full, and was surprised when
Mooney confirmed attendants would only park someones car
for them until the passageways of the Laurel Street lot were
full. He said attendants could not valet park cars in the
SamTrans garage, but would rather assist drivers in finding
the levels close to the top of the structure where the tempo-
rary public parking is located.
Councilman Mark Olbert cautioned city staff about using
the word valet in signs and messages delivered about the
interim parking as it might cause some to think they could
drop their cars off to be parked by an attendant. He recom-
mended staff and Impark attendants to be prepared to explain
what is offered to those expecting valet parking.
Its a relatively trivial problem, he said. Its the kind of
thing that gets people annoyed, and wed kind of like to min-
imize that.
Scott Johnson, owner of an engineering firm in San Carlos
was running errands Wednesday and said he was frustrated
with the fact that it took him 10 minutes to find a parking
spot. He wasnt able to turn into the SamTrans garage from
Laurel Street, and opted for on-street parking instead. He
guessed that city officials had underestimated how integral
the former Wheeler Plaza lot had been to downtown visitors.
Its not very well planned, he said, adding he is worried
about congestion, increased density and whether there are
resources to meet the needs of the growing population.
Its all here the teachers, the traditions,
the perfect class size, the all-girls setting.

Lawmakers across U.S. move to include young people in voting
By Sophia Bollag
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Donald Trumps char-
acterization of Mexican immigrants as
criminals and rapists during his presidential
campaign angered Heidi Sainz, whose fami-
ly is from Mexico and who has close friends
who are immigrants. She was also upset that
she couldnt do anything about it at the bal-
lot box because she was a year shy of being
able to vote.
Sainz favors a bill in the California
Legislature that would lower the voting age
to 17, which she thinks would give a voice
to more people affected by the outcome of
elections.
Looking at all the protests throughout
this year throughout all the high schools
across the nation, we could see a lot of the
minors were protesting because they felt as
if they didnt have a voice, said Sainz, a
senior at Inderkum High School in
Sacramento.
Lawmakers in more than a dozen states are
trying to increase voter participation by
targeting young people. Their bills are
among nearly 500 pieces of legislation
introduced around the country this year to
make voting easier, according to a March
analysis by New York Universitys Brennan
Center for Justice.
While Republican-leaning states have
moved to tighten voting rules nearly 90
such bills have been introduced those
efforts have been outstripped by the number
of bills seeking to expand access to the
polls.
A lot of young people last year wanted to
make their voices heard but were unable to
do so because the rules prohibited them,
said Jonathan Brater, counsel with the non-
partisan Brennan Center Democracy
Program.
LOCAL/ STATE
That has certainly renewed interest in
making the system more accessible, Brater
said.
Democrats and Republicans have support-
ed efforts to expand access, particularly
online registration. But its mostly
Republicans who are pushing restrictions
such as requiring photo identication at the
polls.
Roughly 20 states are considering voter
ID laws this year that supporters say pre-
vent fraud and boost public condence in
elections. Critics say such laws target
minorities and the poor, who might not
have drivers licenses and nd it difcult to
obtain them.
Recent voting expansion efforts include
automatic registration and extending absen-
tee voting opportunities.
Republicans control the governorship
and legislature in 25 states and so far have
been relatively successful in pushing
through the more restrictive laws.
Democrats control just a half-dozen states.
In California, where Democrats command
a supermajority in the Legislature and con-
trol the governors mansion, lawmakers
say they want to take the lead in expanding
voting access as other states move to
restrict it.
The bill to lower the voting age to 17
proposes an amendment to the state
Constitution. Passage would require a two-
thirds vote in the Legislature and approval
by voters.
Assemblyman Evan Low, the bills
author, believes now is a good time to lower
the voting age. Britains vote to leave the
European Union and the ouster of South
Koreas president have shown people the
importance of voting and holding public
servants accountable, Low said.
The Silicon Valley Democrat also pointed
to the election of Trump, whom Low and his
Legislature.
Democratic colleagues routinely criticize.
Weve realized that democracy is rela-
tively fragile, Low said.
Lowering the voting age could help foster
a sense of civic duty before teens move
away from home to attend college or start a
job and become less motivated to vote, he
added.
Tyler Christensen, one of Sainzs class-
mates at Inderkum High School, said hes
torn on the issue.
I liked the idea when I was 17, said
Christensen, who turned 18 in February.
But now that it doesnt matter for me any-
more, I feel like a lot of people are still too
immature.
Sen. Joel Anderson, a Republican from
the San Diego area, said he supports encour-
aging young people to vote but opposes
some approaches pushed by Democrats.
He voted against a 2014 bill that legal-
ized preregistration of 16- and 17-year-olds
because he worried it would make voter rolls
less accurate and lead to voter fraud. He
thinks Lows proposed amendment to lower
the voting age is simply an effort to get
more Democratic votes.
Monday April 17, 2017 5
Every poll that Ive seen says that young
people tend toward voting for Democrats,
so I believe that its self-serving, he said.
It cant just be about gaming elections for
your own support.
In Iowa, two Republicans introduced bills
this year to expand teen voting. One bill
would have allowed 17-year-olds to vote in
primaries if they turned 18 by the general
election. The other would have allowed
Iowans to preregister to vote when they turn
16. Both bills stalled, but the primary vot-
ing provision has since been added to a
voter ID bill advancing through the
The same reforms were proposed by
Democrats in Minnesota, but they have
since stalled in the Republican-controlled
state Senate. Jack Joa, a high school stu-
dent who suggested letting 17-year-olds
vote in primaries, said he was preregistered
but was turned away at his polling place dur-

Mass transit advocates hope for boost from highway collapse
By Russ Bynum
and Kathleen Foody
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA The collapse of an interstate
in the heart of Atlanta has more than 2 mil-
lion metro residents sitting in even more
trafc in the already congested city, and
mass transit advocates hope the headaches
will spur new interest in expanding rail and
bus routes.
Many commuters come from surrounding
counties that have long resisted mass tran-
sit, creating a car-centric region shaped by
issues of race and class for more than four
decades.
Georgia transportation ofcials hope to
reopen Interstate 85 by mid-June after a
350-foot span came crashing down March
30 amid intense heat from a re set beneath
the roadway.
Until then, 250,000 drivers who depend
on that route each day are stretching the
limits of Atlantas other highways and sur-
face roads, or using the regions transit sys-
tem at unprecedented levels. Ridership has
gone up 20 percent since the collapse.
Skeptics of expanding mass transporta-
tion in metro Atlanta wonder whether resi-
dents of such a sprawling region will leave
their cars behind barring a crisis of this
magnitude.
Georgia lawmakers created the
Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit
Authority in 1965, envisioning a system to
serve the counties that made up metro
Atlanta at the time.
But three of the ve counties backed out of
MARTA in referendums before its 1971 start-
up. On the heels of the civil rights move-
ment, white Atlantans were eeing to the
suburbs in droves and had no interest in
closing the distance between their new
homes and the citys core.

Violent crimes havent helped MARTAs
reputation. On Thursday, a man was fatally
shot on a MARTA train and three passengers
were wounded in what police called a target-
ed, isolated incident. MARTA police have
investigated four other killings since July,
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported .
There were no slayings in the previous four
years, though several dozen aggravated
assaults and robberies were reported each
year.
The transit system is largely limited to
Atlantas core that doesnt give most com-

of the river separating the two countries.

Ive used MARTA before when my car was
in the shop or I needed to get to the air-

parking at a station and paying a train fare
is more expensive.
In a 2011 study comparing mass transit in
the largest U.S. metropolitan areas, the
Brookings Institution found only 38 per-
cent of metro Atlantas working-age popu-
lation lives in neighborhoods with access
to public transportation. Even those living
near bus stops and train stations could reach
on average only 21 percent of metro Atlanta
jobs within 90 minutes.
In the metropolitan big leagues, Atlanta
has the lowest-performing service, said
Adie Tomer, who authored the study.
Theres a long legacy there of just really
not supporting transit.
But attitudes toward the Atlanta transit
system have changed dramatically in recent
years. Decades-old claims that transit would
lead to crime and blight have been proven
inaccurate, said Tad Leithead, the former

Trump: China, U.S. working on North Korea problem
By Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea President Donald Trump asserted
on Sunday that China was working with the United States
on the North Korea problem, and his vice president told
American and South Korea service members that the Norths
latest provocation, a failed missile launch shortly before
his arrival in Seoul, laid bare the risks they face.
While the North did not conduct a nuclear test, the specter
of a potential escalated U.S. response trailed Pence as he
began a 10-day trip to Asia amid increasing tensions and
heated rhetoric. Trumps national security adviser cited
Trumps recent decision to order missile strikes in Syria
after a chemical attack blamed on the Assad government as
a sign that the president is clearly comfortable making
tough decisions.
But at the same time, H.R. McMaster said, its time for us
to undertake all actions we can, short of a military option,
to try to resolve this peacefully.
In a broadcast interview that aired on Sunday, McMaster
said the U.S. would rely on its allies as well as on Chinese
leadership to resolve the issues with North Korea. I mean,
North Korea is very vulnerable to pressure from the
Chinese, McMaster said on ABCs This Week.
The bottom line, McMaster said, is to stop the Norths
weapons development and make the Korean Peninsula
nuclear-free: Its clear that the president is determined not
to allow this kind of capability to threaten the United
States. And our president will take action that is in the best
interest of the American people.
After a two-month policy review, ofcials settled on a
policy dubbed maximum pressure and engagement, U.S.
Harder on Russia and softer on China, Trumps views apparently evolving
By Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Once soft on Russia and hard on China,
President Donald Trump rapidly reversed course in the last
weeks, concluding theres more business to be done with
Beijing than with Moscow.
Trumps evolving views on those two world powers have
brought the U.S. back into alignment with former President
Barack Obamas pattern of great power politics. Though
Russia critics welcomed Trumps newly hardened tone,
theres less enthusiasm from Americas allies in Asia, who
fear the U.S. could overlook Chinas more aggressive pos-
ture toward its neighbors.
It may be that Trump, the businessman-turned-world
leader, is discovering Chinas transactional approach to for-
eign relations is better suited to achieving his own goals.
Chinese leaders have sought a U.S. relationship based on
the two powers respecting each others spheres of influence
and not intervening in one anothers internal affairs.
ONLY
NATION/ WORLD
Our president will take action that is
in the best interest of the American people.
- H.R. McMaster, national security advisor
ofcials said Friday. The administrations immediate
emphasis, the ofcials said, will be on increasing pressure
on Pyongyang with the help of Beijing.
The ofcials werent authorized to speak publicly on the
results of the policy review and requested anonymity.
Pence will be tasked with explaining the policy in meet-
ings with leaders in South Korea and Japan at the start of his
trip, which will also include stops in Indonesia and
Australia. He will also aim to reassure allies in South Korea
and Japan that the U.S. will take appropriate steps to defend
them against North Korean aggression.
Pence was aboard Air Force Two ying over the Bering
Sea when a North Korean missile exploded during launch on
Sunday, U.S. and South Korean ofcials said. The high-pro-
le failure came as the North tried to showcase its nuclear
and missile capabilities around the birth anniversary of the
Norths late founder and as a U.S. aircraft carrier neared the
Korean Peninsula.
A White House foreign policy adviser traveling with
Pence said no U.S. response to the missile launch was
expected because there was no need for the U.S. to reinforce
the failure. The adviser spoke on condition of anonymity to
discuss the administrations initial understanding of the
launch.
Trump, spending the Easter weekend at his Florida resort,
reinforced his commitment to the armed forces under his
control. Our military is building and is rapidly becoming
Such a balance-of-powers approach
had been Russias traditional stance.
Moscow still wants Washington out of
its backyard, but Russias alleged cam-
paigns to influence the U.S. presidential
election and upcoming votes in the heart
of Western Europe have made it harder for
American officials to take the offer seri-
ously. Russias support for Syrian
President Bashar Assad and Trumps new-
Donald Trump found commitment to militarily counter-
ing any chemical weapons attacks also
is proving hard to square.
Also, Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putins shared
tendency toward nationalist, dont-mess-with-us rhetoric
may be putting the pair on a collision course.
The sudden U-turn has been head-snapping for people
around the world, despite Trumps self-professed penchant
for unpredictability and willingness to adapt to changing
circumstances.

stronger than ever before, he tweeted.
More directly on North Korea, the president returned to a
theme of placing much onus on China for reining in the
North. Last week, he said he would not declare China a cur-
rency manipulator, pulling back from a campaign promise,
as he looks for help from Beijing, which is the Norths
dominant trade partner.
Why would I call China a currency manipulator when
they are working with us on the North Korean problem? We
will see what happens! Trump tweeted on Sunday.
Deputy national adviser K.T. McFarland briefed the presi-
dent on the failed missile launch. She advised patience with
China on the issue.
North Korea is a liability to everybody and its a threat
not just to the United States, not just to South Korea, not
just to Japan, not just to Russia, but its actually a threat to
China as well, McFarland said Sunday on Fox News
Sunday.
Into this tense environment, Pence made his rst trip to
the region since taking ofce in January. After arriving in
the South Korean capital, he placed a wreath at Seoul
National Cemetery and then worshipped with military per-
sonnel at an Easter church service at the U.S. Army Garrison
Yongsan.
During a fellowship meal after the services, he said the
tensions on the Korean peninsula had put into sharp focus
the importance of the joint U.S.-South Korean mission.
This mornings provocation from the North is just the
latest reminder of the risks each one of you face every day in
the defense of the freedom of the people of South Korea and
the defense of America in this part of the world, said Pence.
Your willingness to step forward, to serve, to stand rm
without fear, inspires the nation and inspires the world.
As the Republican presidential nominee, Trump praised
Putin repeatedly as a strong, very smart leader. Trump dis-
missed Americas Russia hawks as stupid people or fools
and predicted under his leadership that the Cold War foes
would work together to solve some of the many great and
pressing problems and issues of the world.

Mass evacuation in Syria to proceed after blast kills 80 kids
By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT More than 3,000 Syrians
were expected to be evacuated Sunday from
four areas as part of a population transfer
that was briey stalled a day earlier by a
deadly blast that killed more than 120 peo-
ple, many of them government supporters.
As the evacuations were expected to
begin Sunday, shells red by the Islamic
State group on government-held parts of
the eastern city of Deir el-Zour wounded two
members of a Russian media delegation
visiting the area, according to state-run
Syrian news agency SANA. Russia is a
main backer of Syrian President Bashar
Assad and Russian journalists enjoy wide
access in government-held parts of the
country.
The United Nations is not overseeing the
transfer deal, which involves residents of
the pro-government villages of Foua and
Kfarya and the opposition-held towns of
Madaya and Zabadani. All four have been
under siege for years, their fate linked
through a series of reciprocal agreements
that the U.N. says have hindered aid deliv-
eries.
Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the
Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights, and Hezbollahs Al-Manar
TV said 3,000 people will be evacuated
from Foua and Kfarya, while 200, the vast
majority of them ghters, will be evacuated
from Zabadani and Madaya.

Pope decries vile attack on Syrians during Easter address
By Frances DEmilio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY On Christianitys most
joyful day, Pope Francis lamented the hor-
rors generated by war and hatred, delivering
an Easter Sunday message that also decried
the latest vile attack on civilians in
Syria.
Both in his impromptu homily during
Mass in St. Peters Square and later in his
formal Urbi et Orbi Easter message deliv-
ered from the balcony of St. Peters
Basilica, Francis reected on a litany of suf-
fering in the world, including wars, oppres-
sive regimes, human trafcking, corrup-
tion, famine and domestic violence.
He encouraged people to hold fast in their
fearful hearts to faith, acknowledging
that many people wonder where God is amid
so much evil and suffering in the world.
Some 60,000 people, including multi-

which hit an area where thousands of pro-
government evacuees had been waiting for
hours killed 126. He said the dead includ-
ed 109 people from Foua and Kfarya,
among them 80 children and 13 women.
No one has claimed the attack, but both
the Islamic State group and the al-Qaida-
afliated Fatah al-Sham Front have targeted
national throngs of pil-
grims and tourists,
endured tight anti-terror-
ism security checks
and, later, a brief down-
pour to hear Francis
and receive his blessing.
The crowd size, cited
by the Vatican security
Pope Francis forces, was smaller in
comparison to some
other Easters, when about 100,000 turned
out for the occasion.
After Mass, Francis toured the square in
his open-topped, white popemobile and
waved back to well-wishers.
In his balcony address, Francis prayed
that God would sustain those working to
comfort and help the civilian population in
Syria, prey to a war that continues to sow
horror and death.
He cited the explosion Saturday that

A wounded girl, who said she lost her sib-
lings in the blast, told Al-Manar TV from
her hospital bed that children who had been
deprived of food for years in the two vil-
lages were approached by a man in the car
who told them to come and eat potato
chips. She said once many had gathered,
ripped through a bus depot in the Aleppo
area where evacuees were awaiting transfer,
killing at least 100 people.
Yesterday saw the latest vile attack on
eeing refugees, the pope said, also pray-
ing for peace in the Holy Land, Iraq and
Yemen.
Separately, in a letter he sent to the bish-
op of Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis,
whose name he chose for his papacy, the
pope decried the scandalous reality of a
world still marked by the divide between the
endless number of indigent and the tiny
portion of those who possess the majority
of riches and presume to decide the fates of
humanity.
Francis has repeatedly championed the
dignity of migrants eeing war, persecution
or poverty. On Sunday he recalled all those
forced to leave their homelands as a result of
armed conicts, terrorist attacks, famine
and oppressive regimes.

there was an explosion that tore some of
the children to pieces.
After the blast, some 60 buses carrying
2,200 people, including 400 opposition
ghters, entered areas held by rebels in the
northern province of Aleppo, Abdurrahman
said. More than 50 buses and 20 ambu-
lances carrying some 5, 000 Foua and
Kfarya residents entered the government-
held city of Aleppo, Syrian state TV said,
with some of them later reaching a shelter
in the village of Jibreen to the south.
U.N. relief coordinator Stephen OBrien
said he was horried by the deadly bomb-
ing, and that while the U. N. was not
involved in the transfer it was ready to
scale up our support to evacuees.
He called on all parties to uphold their
obligations under international humanitar-
ian and human rights law, and to facilitate
safe and unimpeded access for the U.N. and
its partners to bring life-saving help to
those in need.
Residents of Madaya and Zabadani, for-
merly summer resorts, joined the 2011
uprising against President Bashar Assad.
Both came under government siege in the
ensuing civil war. Residents of Foua and
Kfraya, besieged by the rebels, have lived
under a steady hail of rockets and mortars
for years, but were supplied with food and
medicine through military airdrops.
Critics say the string of evacuations,
which could see some 30, 000 people
moved across battle lines over the next 60
days, amounts to forced displacement
along political and sectarian lines.
The churchs rst pontiff from Latin
America voiced concern over the political
and social tensions in the world as well as
the scourge of corruption on his home
continent. Francis also mentioned hostili-
ties and famine plaguing parts of Africa.
Speaking of Europes problems, Francis
cited the continued conict and bloodshed
in Ukraine and prayed for hope for those
struggling with high unemployment, espe-
cially young people.
Traditionally, the pope gives no homily
during the late-morning Easter Mass, sav-
ing his reections for the Urbi et Orbi
message at noon.
But Francis broke with that tradition,
giving an off-the-cuff homily during Mass
about what he described as a nagging ques-
tion for many faithful: Why are there so
many tragedies and wars if Jesus has risen
from the dead, a belief that Christians cele-
brate each Easter?

Certainly, the current problem United Air-

United Airlines as a whole will be under a
magnifying glass for a while, which is nor-
mally the case after an incident like this.
This story is unfortunate for many reasons
and we hope the passenger recovers quickly.
There are numerous people working for
United Airlines who strive to do a great job
every day but this type of story (positive)
does not sell news. Good news is not nearly
as sensational as bad news in this country it
would seem.
There is an audience of people who would
like to read more positive news. They are
weary of negative news.
This latest United Airline story will make it
that much harder (in some cases) for those
United employees who work hard. Most
United Airline employees perform a great job
daily without ever receiving any recognition.

Solutions to these problems will be compli-
cated and expensive.
But why not give equal effort to prevention?
Reduce fossil fuels and you bring global tem-
peratures back into a more normal range,
slow ice cap melting and sea level rise, and
restore global climate stability. A revenue-
neutral fee on carbon recently proposed by
respected Republicans James Baker, George
Schultz and Henry Paulson would tax fossil
fuels at their source and return 100 percent of
the fee to American families. This would
apply market pressure to benefit renewable
energy sources without government regula-
tion. This solution is supported not only by
many Republicans but also by Democrats in-

Anti-Republican rant
Editor,
In reading Jorg Aadahls latest emotional
harangue against President Trump in the
March 28, 2017, edition of the Daily Journal
Trumps blame game, it appears he needs to
come up with some new material. Aadahl is
blinded by his hysterical hatred for anything
that is Republican.
People such as Aadahl dont make decisions
behind any critical thought process. If you
substituted the name Bush instead of Trump,
there is no difference in the rhetoric from
this writer. People such as Aadahl talk as if
money falls from the sky. Their viewpoints
are very impulsive. Apparently, truth is sub-
jective not based on the actual evidence.
There are several reasons why without re-
form national health care wont be
successful. First, you have to stop trial
lawyers. No medical procedure or medication
is without risk and no liability should be
taken when established practices have been
followed. The medical profession has got to
stop gouging insurance companies by over-
charging far above what you would pay if you
brought your own supplies with you before
checking into the hospital.
Finally, all medical procedures arent equal.
There needs to be some discrimination be-
tween medical procedures that are vital and
which are not. We cant have a national sys-
tem and support the world unless the world
financially pitches in.

Have the true
conservatives been deceived?
Editor,
I have been doing a little research in Presi-
dent Trumps administration and have
discovered some very strange things that
have been happening.
First, President Trump has appointed numer-
ous big government, pro-war neocons to his
administration. Trump has appointed more
individual members from the Council of For-
eign Relations, C.F.R., and people from big
corporations belonging to the C.F.R. to his
administration than Barack Obama did in his
entire eight years in the White House.
Second, the C.F.R. is perhaps the Preeminent
Globalists organization in the world. Now,
how can Trump talk about putting America
first when he fills his administration with
people who are sympathetic to the globalist
agenda, One World Order?
Third, another strange thing is why Trump
sent special forces and Marines into Syria
without their consent. This is illegal and un-
constitutional. Does he want to start another
Middle Eastern war? Who knows. Fourth, if
Trump really wants to defeat ISIS, all he has
to do is just stay out of the way and let Vlad-
mir Putin and Basher Al-Assad take care of it.
They have been doing a great job defeating
ISIS without the United States help.
Lastly, is Trump a genuine conservative or
is he a make believe conservative created percent in recent years, income tax col-
by the globalist? Have we all been deceived
who voted for President Trump? I hope not.
Well, I guess time will surely tell.

Potential losses
for Silicon Valley
The Press-Enterprise
A
Silicon Valley slowdown is com-
ing, and Sacramento isnt ready.
Although some insiders even let
the dreaded B word bubble pass
their lips, it doesnt take a crash of the
app economy for Californias fragile for-
tunes to be shaken to their foundations.
The warning signs suggest that the
Golden State may already have hit peak
productivity from the digital tech it
relies on to fill coffers, fuel markets,
drive investment and justify largesse and
inefficiency in policymaking. Its time
for a wake-up call.
Venture capital dropped 20 percent for
startups in 2016, even though invest-
ment funds have more than $800 billion
in uninvested funds. Some 3, 200 Silicon
Valley jobs have been shed since August.
Sky-high rents are sinking, but the dip,
from an average of $4, 400 a month to
$4, 200, wont relieve the regions acute
housing shortage.
True, these figures could suggest a
healthy and relatively smooth correc-
tion. No boom can last forever, and a
gentle shift toward a new equilibrium can
help ensure that big, sudden gains arent
shed just as abruptly.
But Californias disproportionate
reliance on the world of bits suggests
that policymakers are loathing to inter-
pret the downturn prudently. After all,
they lack any comparable way to sustain
the big budgets and utopian sensibility
surrounding deep-blue politics.
Gov. Jerry Brown has labored year in
and year out to correct for such errors in
thinking and spending, well aware that
the last time a tech and housing bubble
hit, the state was plunged deep into the
red. He has ensured that California can
boast a multibillion-dollar rainy day
fund.
Yet, with Proposition 55, voters,
egged on by tax-and-spend politicians,
doubled down on an even higher take
from tech wealth. As the share of income
tax collection drawn from the top 1 per-
cent of earners has risen to around 50
lections this year have already fallen
well short of projections.
Meanwhile, more than three-quarters of
state income comes from taxes a third
from the top 1. 5 percent of earners.
California even risks losing tech income
if IPOs dry up, since it takes a cut when-
ever companies go public. Sacramento
has embraced a risky policy of counting
the tech gooses golden eggs well before
they hatch.
Negative trends in the rest of the state
might worsen the pain that could be on
the way. Since 2004, California has
experienced net outmigration of more
than 1 million residents, totaling dozens
of billions in yearly income. Since
2008, about 10, 000 businesses have
been lost, with a $15-an-hour minimum
wage poised to eat away even more.
Yet, Sacramento continues to spend 8
out of 10 dollars on entitlements, social
programs and interest on debt, with more
than a third of its budget reliant on feder-
al funds.
Divisions in tech are deepening over
whether Silicon Valley can innovate its
way out of the states risky mess. Some
are now focusing on lobbying
Washington to keep federal supports in
place for the states imbalanced ideolo-
gy. Others are eyeing San Franciscos
exits and warning that even a little
turbulence could turn Sacramentos utopi-
an dreams into a California nightmare.

Tax Day demonstrators rally to demand Trump release taxes
By Tammy Webber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO Thousands of sign-waving,
chanting protesters have marched through
streets across America demanding that
President Donald Trump release his tax
returns so the public can examine his busi-
ness ties and determine whether he has links
to foreign powers.
The tax day protests in more than a dozen
cities Saturday were largely peaceful, though
occasionally demonstrators and some pro-
Trump groups ended up face-to-face exchang-
ing taunts.
In Berkeley, California, police arrested 13
people after fist fighting erupted at a park
where about 200 people from differing polit-
ical factions held unrelated separate rallies
for and against Trump. Officers confiscated
knives and makeshift weapons.
The demonstrations came just days before
Tuesdays deadline for taxpayers to file their
returns. Trump was the first major-party
nominee in more than 40 years not to release
his tax returns, saying it was because he was
under audit. He later said that voters dont
care.
But 71-year-old Ilene Singh said hes
wrong. She rode a bus from New Jersey to
New York City with her friend Geraldine
Markowitz, 83, to take part in protests.
Were here to say we care, said Singh.

Which state sends most taxes to DC? Hint: Its not a state
By Stephen Ohlemacher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON As Tax Day approach-
es, show some love for the good people
who live in the nations capital.
Washington, that swampy den of iniquity
that politicians love to scorn, sends the
most tax dollars per person to the U.S. gov-
ernment.
By a lot.
Last year, the District of Columbia paid
Uncle Sam $37,000 per person in federal
income, payroll and estate taxes. The next
closest was Delaware, at $16,000 per per-
son.
Its where the money is, said Roberton
Williams, a fellow at the Tax Policy Center.
The reason the District pays so much in
taxes is that there are a lot of high-income
people there.
Washington is an outlier because, despite
years of lobbying, it is not a state. It does-
nt even have a vote in Congress. It is,
however, a city with a relatively high cost

also worried about the direction of the coun-
try.
You dont know which way the country
goes, said Arlin next to her 89-year-old hus-
band who fled Czechoslovakia during World
War II. I hope Republicans see it.
Protesters in Raleigh, North Carolina, said
they suspect that Trumps returns might
show he has paid little or nothing to the
government he now heads, or that he was
indebted to Russian, Chinese or other for-
eign interests.
His reputation ... as a businessman and,
of living.
West Virginia, Mississippi and New
Mexico have low median household
incomes, which helps explain why they
their residents pay far less in federal taxes.
West Virginia paid $3,600 per person last
year, while Mississippi paid $3,900 per
person and New Mexico residents paid a lit-
tle more than $4,000.
The Associated Press calculated each
states per-capita tax bill using data from
the IRS and population estimates from the
Census Bureau.
The deadline to le federal tax returns is
Tuesday. It was pushed back because the
usual April 15 deadline was Saturday, and
because Monday is a holiday in the District
of Columbia.
The IRS says millions of taxpayers have
yet to le their returns. As they do, they
shouldnt feel too bad for D.C. residents.

its tax investment. For every dollar the

For years, the late Sen. Daniel Patrick
Moynihan, D-N.Y., would document that
New York paid more to the federal govern-

comptroller took up the cause.
Washingtons rate of return is higher than
any state most of it comes from wages
for federal employees. The closest state is
Mississippi, which gets back $2.57 in fed-

Washington. New Mexico, West Virginia
and Alabama are also big winners when it
comes to federal taxes and spending.
These states are big takers because they
have a lot of residents who get federal bene-
ts, including Social Security, Medicare,
Medicaid, disability benets and food
stamps.
They have lower incomes so they pay
less in taxes and, because they have lower
incomes, they get more federal aid, said

If he thinks he can get away with playing
king, hes got another thought coming,
Waters said.
Nancy Traver, of Silver Spring, Maryland,
who was at the Washington march said,
Every president, Democratic and Republican
for years has showed, has revealed his tax
returns, so why shouldnt Trump?
For four decades, presidents and major
party nominees have released some of their
tax returns, with the exception of Gerald
Ford. Trumps break with precedent has raised
questions about possible conflicts of inter-
est.
Democrats are pushing for a vote on a bill
from Rep. Anna Eshoo, a Democrat from
California, which would require the president
and all major-party nominees to publicly dis-
close their previous three years of tax returns
with the Office of Government Ethics or the
Federal Election Commission.
Republicans also have rebuffed Democrats
efforts to get the House Ways and Means
Committee to act. It has legal authority to
obtain confidential tax records, and could
vote to make them public.
Many demonstrators said they hoped
Saturdays marches would convince Trump to
voluntarily release them.

marched in Philadelphia from City Hall to an
area in front of historic Independence Hall,

conservative politicians who complain that
the government is too big?
There is this perception that so much
money is being spent on things that dont
benet them, Williams said. They ignore
the things that do benet them.
Williams cited foreign aid as a favorite
target, even though it makes up only 1 per-
cent of the federal budget, if you count mil-
itary assistance.

CSM baseball on precipice of conference championship
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The College of San Mateo
Bulldogs are riding high into the
final two weeks of the community
college baseball season.
That doesnt mean theyre plan-
ning on letting up any time soon.
CSM (14-1 in Coast Golden Gate,
29-5 overall) continued to play like
a team on a mission Saturday at
Bulldog Stadium, claiming their
10th straight victory with an 11-2
rout of visiting De Anza.
The meeting started as something
of a San Mateo reunion, with De
Anza-Cupertino (9-6, 19-15) carry-
ing half a dozen San Mateo County
natives on its roster. But amid a
scoreless tie in the fifth, the
Bulldogs batting .305 as a team
this season sent 11 batters to the
plate as if throwing the switch to
turn out the lights on the reunion
hospitality.
With the win, No. 5-ranked CSM
maintains a four-game lead over
second-place Chabot in the Coast
Golden Gate Conference standings
with five to play.
[The win] is important because it
gets the team one game closer to
where we want to be, CSM sopho-
more Anders Green said. But also,

pitchers featured CSM freshman

Mateo native in De Anza sopho-
more Nick Simonian.
Deadlocked in the fifth though, it
was Green an Oregon native
who stepped up with runners at the
corners to get the Bulldogs on the
board with an RBI single and start
up the hit parade.
Just looking for a pitch to
drive, Green said. Just get the bar-
rel out and hit it where they werent

Local throwers have a day
at Serra Top 7 Invitational
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With the Mills boys track and field shot
put team owning the top five throws in
Peninsula Athletic League competition this
season, Saturdays test at the Serra Top 7
Invitational was bound to be a good one.
Mills quintet, headlined by junior
Christian Sael, didnt let the contingent of
West Catholic Athletic League standouts
intimidate them. And for their efforts, Sael
and company earned three top-five finish-
ers, including Sael taking first place with a
personal record of 49 feet, 11 inches.
Every meet we go in thinking we can
take all three places, Sael said. Our team,
all around, we have a bunch of great throw-
ers. Its not just the three of us. Theres five
or six of us that are really good.
Mills did land third place as senior Isi
Mapa produced a throw of 48-1 , while
junior Sione Langi took fifth place with a
46-5 . Mills senior Ryan Beglitsoff threw
a 42-9 to take 10th place. Mills junion
Elias Uai finished just behind his teammate
in 11th place with a throw of 42-2 .
Sael locked up with Lincoln-SF senior
Ronald Phelps, who took second place with
a best of 49 feet flat. Saels second to last
throw had temporarily put him in the lead as
he eclipsed his previous personal record
with a chuck of 48-5. When Phelps followed
with the 49-footer, Sael finished by going
back over the top.
I was happy, Sael said. And my team
and my coach were just going crazy.
While renowned Mills throwers coach Pat
Lewis wasnt at the meet, Lewis assistant
Justin Tsao was. Mills head coach Tim Tuff
put the performance into perspective.
Its a big deal, Tuff said. Its our best Nofal topping the podium with a best of
throw of the year, boys or girls. I think its
almost as far as he put the 10-pound shot a
year ago. So thats impressive.
It was definitely one to be proud of for the

It was Serra that showed up with unprece-

Serra junior Elijah Folau took first place

EC baseball stuns Carlmont
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There have been clear-cut signs that El
Camino baseballs dramatic turnaround in
2017 is the real deal.
Not only have the Colts (11-2-1 overall)
jumped out to a 2 game lead in the
Peninsula Athletic League Lake Division
standings with an undefeated 6-0 league
record. There was also the matter of sopho-
more right-hander DJ Ferrari throwing a no-
hitter March 21 in an 11-1 win over Harker.
The latest eye opener for the Colts a
team that last year finished with a 7-18 over-
all record was a 6-5 win over PAL Bay
Division frontrunner Carlmont (15-2-1)
Saturday in Belmont.
It was an interesting pairing for more rea-
sons than the disparity between the A-league
Bay Division leader Scots, and the C-league
Lake Division leading Colts. Carlmont was
coming off a dramatic victory Friday night,
rallying for four runs in the bottom of the sev-
enth to score a 13-12 walk-off win against
Lynbrook-San Jose. El Camino, on the other
hand, hadnt played for nine days.
But first-year Colts manager Kevin
McGovern tapped in to a pretty obvious pep
talk Saturday morning, pointing out to his
players that when they met Carlmont last
season, the Scots trounced them 14-0. Even
though McGovern wasnt around for that
2016 loss, many of his players were. And he
motivated them with a payback-themed talk-
ing to.
I let them know before the game to take
last year, you same guys were here and you
know what happened.
El Camino managed just three hits in the
game, but still jumped out to a 6-0 lead
through the first two frames. Carlmont start-
Nevada, Reno. But he opted to grind out the
through 1 2/3 innings before junior right-
hander Lucas Billot entered in relief.
Billot was nails, firing 5 1/3 innings of
one-hit, shutout ball. But El Camino starting

pitcher Uriel Pietro was

off the win with three

his third complete game
McGovern
of the year, improving
his record to 4-0.
I stayed with Pietro because in a previous
game against Riordan I pulled him early and,
looking back on it, hes my guy, McGovern
said.
Carlmont totaled six hits, including an RBI
infield knock of the bat of Grant Norman to
score Troy Rice in the bottom of the fourth to
close the deficit to 6-5. But Pietro kept the
Scots in check from there with a little help
from catcher Lorenzo Perez who, with the
potential tying run at third in the late
innings, blocked a ball in the dirt and threw
behind the runner for the critical out.
McGovern was an interesting hire for El
Camino in that he is a 2010 graduate of South
San Francisco High School, the Colts
archrival. Not that South City blue has any-
thing to do with the 24-year-old McGoverns
description of his El Camino team playing
nose-down, blue-colored baseball.
McGoverns father did graduate from El
Camino though. In fact, he played for the
Colts last Central Coast Section champi-
onship team in any sport in 1977.
McGovern who went on to play baseball
at Caada College from 2012-13 was a
two-sport standout at South City, and was
recruited by colleges as a wide receiver. He
said he had Division I football scholarship
offers, including one from the University of
baseball route for love of the game.
I love baseball in my heart, McGovern
said. My heart just resonated with baseball.
I couldnt go away from it.

As rained out at home
for first time in 3 years
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND The Houston
Astros and Athletics had their series
finale Sunday postponed by rain,
Oaklands first home rainout since
April 2014.
The game will be made up on
Sept. 9 as part of a doubleheader at
the Coliseum.
Rain began early in the morning
and was expected to continue
t h r o ug h o ut
Sunday. The
p o s t p o n emen t
was announced
two hours before
the scheduled
first pitch.
You always
try to avoid the
rainouts, yet
Bob Melvin looking at the
forecast it looked like it was the
right thing to do, As manager Bob
Melvin said. Im shocked. Since
Ive been here its probably only
rained a little bit during a game one
time. I havent seen (the tarp) rolled
out too many times.
Oakland was rained out at home
on April 1, 2014, and a game was
postponed three days later when the
grounds crew failed to put out the
tarp and rain muddied the infield.
Jharel Cotton, who was scheduled
to pitch for the As, will instead
pitch the series opener against
Texas on Monday. The rest of the
Monday April 17, 2017 13
rotation will remain on schedule as
well.
With the workload that our guys
have had well just stay on turn with
everybody, Melvin said. It cer-
tainly gives our bullpen a little bit
of a break. The last couple of days
its been taxed pretty good.
Astros manager A.J. Hinch said
right-hander Charlie Morton will
pitch Mondays series opener at
home against the Los Angeles
Angels. Morton had been slated to
pitch Sunday.
After the postponement was
announced, players from both
teams remained on the field and
were playing catch and running in
the outfield.
Oakland also placed shortstop
Marcus Semien on the 10-day dis-
abled list with a bruised right wrist.
Semien has been bothered by
soreness in his wrist since spring
training and underwent an MRI scan
Saturday. Hes scheduled to have a
CT scan on Monday to determine if
theres any further damage.
The move is retroactive to April
15. Its Semiens first stint on the
DL in his career.
Infielder Chad Pinder was called
up from Triple-A Nashville to take
Semiens place and will be the As
primary backup at shortstop and
second base. Adam Rosales is
expected to get the bulk of playing
time at shortstop until Semien
returns.

Greg Holland pitched a perfect ninth for his

Each team scored three times in the first

Though rain fell throughout the first five

San Francisco avoided its first home rainout

The Bulldogs produced 13 hits on the day,

hitter RJ Prince totaled two hits apiece.
Prince took over the leadoff spot March 25
when the Bulldogs started their 10-game win-
ning streak. During the streak, he has pro-
duced six two-hit games and is currently hit-
ting .340 with a .486 on-base percentage.
I actually like it a lot, Prince said of the
leadoff spot, a role he had never assumed in
his life prior to March 25. Ive developed
into it. And I get to see a lot of pitches, which
is what I like to do.

Colorado began with four straight hits off Jeff
Samardzija, capped by Arenados double.
Samardzija (0-3) struck out eight while
allowing four runs in seven innings.
The balls were in the middle of the plate,
especially in the first inning, Samardzija
said. Not to have good stuff out there today
was frustrating, and to start out that way
makes the rest of the day a lot tougher.
Brandon Crawford had an RBI triple for the
Giants, who also got sacrifice flies from
Hunter Pence and Nick Hundley.
DJ LeMahieu had a run-scoring single for
Colorado in the second.
Blackburn shipped to Texas
The Giants traded minor league RHP
Clayton Blackburn to the Texas Rangers for
minor league INF Frandy De La Rosa and cash.

Steve Johnson wins U.S. Mens Clay Court Championship
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON Steve Johnson fought
through late cramps to win the U.S. Mens
Clay Court Championship, beating Brazils
Thomaz Bellucci 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (5) on Sunday at
River Oaks Country Club.
The 27-year-old Johnson won his second
ATP Tour title, and became the seventh
American to win the event since it moved to
Houston in 2001. He also won a grass-court
title last summer in Nottingham, England.

Kassian also scored the first goal in

The Sharks were held to 10 shots over the
final two periods and didnt even get a shot
on goal on a pair of power-play chances as
Thorntons return was unable to change San
Joses fortunes.
The Sharks are 1 for 14 on the power play
in the series and allowed two short-handed
goals in Game 2. San Jose has not scored
since Melker Karlssons overtime winner in
the opener. This marked the first time San
Jose has been shut out in consecutive play-
off games since Dallas did it in a second-
round series.
Jones made 21 saves.
The Shark Tank was energized for the first
playoff game here since Pittsburgh won the
Stanley Cup last June, and vocal pockets of
Oilers fans broke up the sea of teal.
The game started with a fast pace and
much more physical play from the Sharks
Joses fourth line led by rookie Timo Meier
created chances with a hard forecheck.
But neither team scored in the first peri-
od, with Jones making his best stop early
on an odd-man rush against Patrick Maroon
and Talbot robbing Marcus Sorensen on a
rebound chance from the slot.
After being outshot 13-6 in the first peri-
od, the Oilers controlled the play in the sec-
ond, with the Sharks struggling to keep up
with Connor McDavids speed. He nearly
created two goals on one shift, but no team-
mate was able to get to his wraparound
attempt and then Jones stopped him on a

echoes older cousins 2016
Burlingame senior Jimmy Escobar took
first place in the boys pole vault with a
height of 14-4, marking the second consec-
utive year a Burlingamer has won the event.
Last year, Escobars cousin Mike Escobar
not only took first, he set the Burlingame
record with a jump of 15-1.
Burlingame head coach Dan Haas said the
younger Escobar definitely has his sights
year is done.
His goal is to beat the school record,
go to CCS and them make it to state, Haas
said.
Jimmy Escobar, with no competitors
remaining in the field, tried to make the leap
from 14-4 directly to 15-1 Saturday, but
came up empty. Haas said if given the
chance to pursue the height in progressive
increments, breaking the record is within
Jimmy Escobars reach.
No Burlingame pole vaulter has ever
reached the boys state championships.
Mike Escobar had a realistic chance last
year but never competed after the Serra Top
7 triumph as, later in the day, he fell while
attempting to better his record and broke
his wrist.
It was definitely disappointing, Haas
said. He just took a lot of jumps that day.
And I think his body was fatigued, but it was
probably just one of those fluke things.

NBA brief
Isaiah Thomas sister, 22, dies
BOSTON Isaiah Thomas took the floor
to a deafening cheer for the Boston Celtics
playoff opener against the Chicago Bulls on
Sunday night, just a day after his sister was
killed in a car accident.
It was part of an emotional night for All-
Star point guard who had 33-point, six
assists and five rebounds in a 106-102 Game
1 loss to the Bulls.
The Celtics held a pregame moment of
silence for Chyna Thomas, who died early
Saturday in a one-car interstate accident in their
home state of Washington. She was 22.
Thomas was informed of her death following
the teams practice Saturday afternoon.
It was unclear if hed play Sunday, and prior to
the game TNTs cameras captured teammate
Avery Bradley comforting Thomas on the
bench during the pregame shootaround. But
Thomas led the team out of the tunnel when
Boston took the floor for pregame warmups. He
looked toward the rafters just before the tip-off.
On his shoes were written several mes-
sages, including Chyna, RIP Lil Sis and eral players on both teams hit the floor try-

Draymond Green had 19 points, 12
rebounds, nine assists, five blocked shots
and three steals to help last seasons sec-

is counting on to be a
championship run.
Game 2 is Wednesday
night at Oracle Arena.
The opener is a
rematch of last seasons
Western Conference
semifinals won in five
games by Golden State
Draymond didnt disappoint featur-
Green ing two of the NBAs
best backcourt duos.
There was a little of everything: physical
play, trash talk, deep 3-pointers, monster
blocked shots and dazzling dunks. After one
flurry of a third-quarter sequence when sev-
ing to secure a loose ball, four towel guys
frantically wiped down the court.
Durant got going fast. KD drove the lane
for a one-handed slam midway through the
first then knocked down a 3 from the top
about a minute later. After missing a dunk
but getting fouled, Durant pounded the bas-
ket stanchion with his right fist in frustra-
tion.
He vowed to take his game to another
level as a new season begins not to men-
tion the quest for his first title.
As the final period got underway, Ian
Clark did what he often does to give the
Blazers fits and chipped in during a 15-2 run
on the way to 12 points off the bench. The
6-foot-3 guard scored a putback off his own
miss in the paint one possession then
knocked down a 3-pointer the next as
Golden State went ahead 97-90 with 8:59
remaining.
McCollum shot 11 of 15 in the first half
then began the second 2 for 7 and finished
his day 16 of 28, while Lillard went 12 for
26. McCollums 27 first-half points
matched a Portland playoff record for a half
and he and Lillard had 48 of their teams 56
at the break.
Youve got to give them a lot of credit,
they got it going, Green said. At some
point you have to make them miss.
The Warriors defensive intensity after
halftime was the difference in the Blazers
minds and Lillard expects everybody to
do more.
Dame and CJ, if they get 80 between
them weve still got to score another 40 or
50 from somewhere, coach Terry Stotts
said.
Tip-ins
Curry moved by Wilt Chamberlain (507)
for second place on the Warriors list for
career playoff field goals. ... Curry hit a 3-
pointer in his NBA record 59th consecutive
playoff game, making his first 1:17 into
the game. ... Green emphatically blocked a
shot by Noah Vonleh in the third as the
Portland center playing in place of Nurkic
was going up with one hand to dunk.
Up next
The Warriors hope to get forward Matt
Barnes back from a sprained right ankle and
foot Wednesday night for Game 2, while the
Blazers were uncertain when Nurkic might
be ready to return.
To be determined, Stotts said.

wide debut of all time, besting both Star Wars: The Force
Awakens and Jurassic World.
Universal Pictures on Sunday estimated that The Fate of
the Furious would earn a record $532.5 million worldwide
over the holiday weekend, thanks to a particularly robust
showing in 63 territories, including China.
If the gures hold, it will just inch past the previous
record holder, Star Wars: The Force Awakens which
launched to $529 million in December of 2015 without
China.
The lm broke the record for biggest international week-
end ever, with $432.3 million. The previous record holder
was Jurassic World with $316.7 million.
There is no market that hasnt had a strong reception,
said Duncan Clark, Universals president of international
distribution. Whatever culture, whatever language, what-
ever country, we seem to have found a home.
The China opening alone brought in a record $190 mil-
lion followed by $17.8 million from Mexico and $17 mil-
lion from the U.K. and Ireland.
An estimated $100.2 million of the global total comes
from 4,310 North American theaters a second best for the
franchise and enough to easily top the domestic charts, but
well below the $147.2 million opening of Furious 7 in
2015.
Furious 7 had a groundswell of additional interest due to
DATEBOOK
the death of actor Paul Walker, who played cop turned street
racer Brian OConner, a lead character in six of the lms. He
died in a car crash while the lm was still in production.
For the studio, Fast 8 stands on its own as being an
extraordinary result.
Each one of these lms has its own momentum, said
Nick Carpou, Universals president of domestic distribu-
tion. There are factors from one lm to the next that make
them unique and certainly there were unique factors with
Furious 7.
The Fate of the Furious has many of the returning stars
like Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez,
Tyrese and Ludacris, but has added some new elements
behind the camera in director F. Gary Gray and in front of
the camera with Charlize Theron.

A friend in high places
A
s readers might know, recently the U.S. Department of
Agriculture removed thousands of animal-related pub-
lic records from its website. This removal came with-
out warning, without explanation and without any opportu-
nity for public input or congressional
process. For animal lovers of all political
stripes, this first animal-related activity
under President Trumps administration is
extremely worrisome.
These previously available reports
included inspections by USDA of animals
in research labs, puppy mills and zoos.
The federal government offers precious lit-
tle protection for animals, and this move effectively shut the
door in the face of the animal-loving public.
On behalf of the largest animal welfare organization in San
Mateo County of course I immediately reached out to this
communitys member of the House of Representatives. This
is by no means my first conversation with U.S. Rep. Jackie
Speier, a solid friend of the animals and of this organization
(and the proud mom of a PHS/SPCA graduate, Buddy).
From her response: Like you, I am alarmed by the removal
of this critical information, and I have taken several steps to
require the USDA to repost the documents to their database ...
regarding breaches of animal protection laws [which] plays a
critical role in ensuring accountability for the inhumane treat-
ment of animals by research labs, zoos, breeders and other
facilities.
As an animal lover, a pet owner, and a member of the
Congressional Animal Caucus, I believe we have a responsi-
bility to protect all animals against cruel treatment. That is
why I am an original cosponsor of H.R. 1368, the Animal
Welfare Accountability and Transparency Act, which would
require USDA to report the documents on its website. This
bill would also establish an additional deterrent against inhu-
mane treatment of animals by removing tax benefits for
businesses that violate the Animal Welfare Act or the Horse
Protection Act. Please know that you can count on me to
continue to fiercely advocate for animal rights in Congress.
Jackie, we certainly do!
Ken White is the president of the Peninsula Humane Society &
SPCA
The $100.2 million is slightly below analyst expecta-
tions for the lm. Audiences were 58 percent male, 50 per-
cent under the age of 25 and diverse (41 percent were
Caucasian, 26 percent Hispanic and 19 percent African
American).
The studio has not released an ofcial production budget,
but it is reported to be in the pricey $250 million range.
However, an A Cinema Score from exit polls suggest that it
will have sufcient staying power.
The Fast and the Furious is a global juggernaut for
Universal Pictures, which plans two additional pictures.
With the addition of Fast 8, the franchise has earned an
estimated $4.4 billion globally.
It is a franchise that has adapted and changed over the
years and is as relevant in 2017 as it was in 2001, noted

BURGER
Continued from page 1
er again but this time with plants.
Made up of biochemists, molecular biolo-
gists, materials scientists and other academ-
ics, the team at Impossible Foods is primed
to closely inspect what makes people crave
a burger, and find materials in the plant
kingdom that will create the same sensory
experience.
For Celeste Holz-Schietinger, a bio-
chemist and principal scientist at
Impossible Foods, zooming in on the indi-
vidual elements factoring into a burgers fla-
vor comes naturally.
How I solve problems is I take some-
thing very complex and I look at what are
each of its components at the molecular
level, she said.
Holz-Schietinger oversees the companys
efforts to include the right composition of
plant-based flavors that match the flavor of
burgers made from ground beef. Since the
company got its start in 2011, it has honed
in on heme, an iron-rich molecule carrying
oxygen in blood that is also found in the
root nodules of soy plants. Holz-
Schietinger said the dark red molecule drives
the Impossible Foods burgers flavor and
cooked-just-right red color.
The molecule is combined with wheat and
potato protein, coconut oil, water and a
thickening agent derived from yams, and
lends the Impossible Foods burger the same
blood-based taste as burgers made from
cows.
Larger mission
Though recreating the unique components
of a burger from plants may sound like a cool
science experiment, the companys efforts
to create a burger from plants one that is
appealing to those who enjoy ground beef
burgers are part of a larger mission. As
the team has found a way to deconstruct and
rebuild a burger, they are highlighting
issues involved with raising cattle as a
source of meat. For founder and CEO Pat
Brown, disrupting a food system heavily
dependent on raising animals requires a sim-
ilarly scientific approach where cows can
be seen as an inefficient engine taking years
to convert calories from plants into energy
for those consuming them.
We are optimizing for deliciousness and
nutrition in a way you cannot do with ani-
mals, he said.
Brown and his team have chosen beef, and
ground beef in particular, as the food to opti-
mize given the meats pervasive use in
restaurants across the world. Its taken the
company five years to develop the burger,
which the company claims uses 25 percent
of the water, 5 percent of the land and 13 per-
cent of the greenhouse gases used to make a
burger from cows. Just last year, the burger
hit select restaurants and is currently served
at 11 restaurants, including several in the
Bay Area such as Cockscomb Restaurant in
San Francisco and KronnerBurger in
Oakland.
If the plant-based Impossible Foods burg-
er, credited for its high fidelity to cow-based
burgers, sounds too good to be true, it is the
result of thousands of hours of scrutiny and
testing that continue to chase the subjective
nature of human taste today.
Mouth feel, and taste
Sergey Solomatin, a materials scientist,
uses instruments testing how meat proteins
found in the ground beef respond to stresses
like high heat to identify the properties that
make up a meat burgers texture. He also
tests how a burgers fat plays into the way it
feels in ones mouth, measuring how much
is melted under the average temperature of a
human mouth. Once he identifies these char-
acteristics, Solomatin works with other sci-
entists to identify plant proteins with simi-
lar traits, which can be used to recreate the
texture of a meat burger. For Solomatin, the
exact numbers produced by his instruments
in the lab can only bring him so close to the
truth of how a real burger feels in ones
mouth, which vary from person to person.
Each of these instruments is much better
than a human taster in, for example, how
reproducible it can give you a number for
chewiness, spreadability, he said.
So Solomatin and the rest of the
Impossible Foods team depend on human
testers to taste their many burger proto-
types. In the labs sterile industrial kitchen,
the deep pink of the raw Impossible Foods
meat pops against the white walls and gray
metal tables where several team members
mold it into patties and meatballs for test-
ing. Though the company has a small pro-
duction plant at its Redwood City headquar-
ters at 525 Chesapeake Drive, it is set to
open a production plant in Oakland by the
summer, which is expected to increase the
companys production capacity by 250
times.
Future plans
Though biochemist Ranjani Varadan, who
leads the companys protein discovery team,
wears a lab coat, she hopes those skeptical
of eating a burger composed in a lab recog-
nize Impossible Foods work comes in a
long history of food processes.
What people dont always realize is,
humans have been manipulating proteins for
thousands and thousands of years, she said,
citing bread and cheese as examples.
Varadan is convinced the company can go
much farther than burgers and tap plant pro-
teins to recreate other types of meat like
chicken and pork and dairy products like
cheese and milk.
But for now, the company will remain
focused on perfecting its plant-based burger
with the hope of cutting into the impact of
animal agriculture, which the company esti-
mates to be responsible for 15 percent of the
worlds greenhouse gas emissions. For Holz-
Schietinger, the wide-reaching impact of just
one burger is the reason why she has devoted
her skills to Impossible Foods.
A lot of us focus on and think about how
much we need to solve transportation and oil
issues, but thats actually only a fraction of
the issues that animal farming has, she said.

blessed by the community with a supermajor-
ity, then I think it will allow us to expand a
few things, he said. Its not a saving grace
for the district, but it will definitely help the
bottom line.
In the neighboring San Bruno Park
Elementary School District, Superintendent
Cheryl Olson said officials are also laying
the groundwork for seeking a tax measure,
though their process is still in its formative
stages.
She said officials hired a polling firm to
gauge community support for a revenue meas-
ure, and the returns will determine whether the
district seeks a bond or parcel tax.
In light of the fact that in todays econo-
my, schools are bearing the brunt of reduced
state and federal funding, its difficult to pro-
vide everything we need to without turning to
the community for support to enhance oppor-
tunities for our kids, she said.
Should the survey returns offer a positive
outlook, Olson said officials are interested in
moving quickly to approve by this summer
putting the measure on the fall ballot.
Olson said the historically economically
troubled district is again grappling with a
ashes. It also hosts dance parties and movie
and video showings on Friday and Saturday
nights.
Close to 100,000 people from around the
world have taken the tour, even though
winter was expected to be the slow season,
said Joel Weinshanker, managing partner
of PPark Management, who has a similar
role with Graceland. He wouldnt release
revenue gures.
Weinshanker said he expects several hun-
dred thousand visitors in the rst full year
of operations, which he said would make it
the No. 2 museum dedicated to an entertain-
er behind Graceland.
He said most of the money is going
toward preserving the building, which he
said was in grave disrepair when Prince
died, and toward protecting its contents. He
said the heating and cooling system had to
be replaced, some rooms where videos were
stored had recent water damage, and valu-
able custom-designed outts were improper-
ly stored on wire hangers.
From April 20-23, Paisley Park will mark
the anniversary of Princes death with

certs and other programming.
limited budget and a tax measure would offer
some spending flexibility to either improve
antiquated facilities or implement educational
support programs offered in other, more afflu-
ent, districts in the county.
So many things we could do with a bond
would be very necessary and helpful for the
district, and would also free up money for our
staff too, she said.
The ongoing budget strife again led to
snags in contract talks between district teach-
ers and officials, said Olson, as the two sides
recently entered the fact finding stage of
negotiations which is often a predecessor to
mediation talks.
She said officials agree teachers should be
better compensated, but simply do not have
the money necessary to offer raises while pre-
serving the essential services for students.
Our goal is to be able to compensate our
teachers the way they deserve, she said.
That is truly our goal. We just have to get the
budget to a point where we can do that.
Once poll results are available at the end of
May, Olson said she believes officials will be
better positioned to examine opportunities
to improve the districts finances.
We will share the results with the board
and then sometime early this summer we will
decide whether we are going to move for-
ward, she said.

Virginia Tech marking 10 years after campus shooting
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BLACKSBURG, Va. Ten years
after a mentally ill student fatally shot
32 people at Virginia Tech, survivors
and families of the slain are returning
to campus to honor the lives that were
lost that day.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and
State University, widely known as
Virginia Tech, is holding a series of
events Sunday to mark the anniversary
of the deadly campus shooting on
April 16, 2007. Virginia Gov. Terry
McAuliffe and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine
will be among the 10,000 to 20,000
people expected at the Blacksburg
campus for the solemn occasion.
Kaine, who was governor at the time
of the shooting, said he still vividly
remembers the horrors of that day, but
has also grown close to many of the
survivors and the victims families.

LEVEES

Federal Emergency Management
Agency and protect the city from a
potential flood.
I cant emphasize this enough; this
is the most significant public works
project in the history of the city,
besides [the city] being built. This is
huge, it impacts everyone who lives,
works and plays in Foster City, said
City Manager Kevin Miller.
FEMA notified the city in 2015 that
its existing levee system lining the San
Francisco Bay would no longer protect
the community from a 100-year flood,
and needed to be raised. The move came
after FEMA released a new map placing
the Bayfront community into the flood
zone and questioned the sufficiency of
the levee that protects 9,000 Foster
City properties and another 8,000 in
San Mateo. The existing levee ranges
from 12 feet to 13 feet and FEMAs high-
est requirement is for it to be raised 16
feet in certain areas.
Endeavoring such a project along the
environmentally-sensitive Bay will
necessitate review from nearly 20 regu-
latory agencies as well as a litany of per-
mits. Groups such as the San Francisco
Bay Conservation and Development
Commission, Caltrans, the State Lands
Commission and others are weighing
in. Miller said the city has kept in close
contact with the various regulatory
agencies since the onset of the
process.
The environmental review considered
a range of impacts such as aesthetics, air
quality, biological resources, cultural
resources, geology and soils, green-
house gas emissions, hazardous materi-
emotions, but we wouldnt be any-
where else, said Kaine, who is attend-
ing the service with his wife, Anne
Holton.
The shooting at Virginia Tech was,
at the time, the deadliest mass shoot-
ing in recent U.S. history. A massacre
that claimed 49 lives at an Orlando,
Florida, nightclub surpassed it last
year. It forced schools across the coun-
try to rethink campus security and
reignited the debate over gun control
that rages to this day.
On Sunday morning, McAuliffe and
his daughter participated in a wreath-
laying ceremony at 9:43 a.m.the
time when Seung-Hui Chos rampage
in Norris Hall began. The Roanoke
Times reports (http://bit.ly/2pqps3w )
that the pair, along with former
Virginia Tech President Charles Steger
and current President Timothy Sands
and his wife, walked around the memo-
rial, stopping at every one of the 32
als, hydrology and water quality, land
use, noise, traffic and recreation. The
only two significant and unavoidable
impacts found were from construction
such as noise, and that the levee would
affect the views of properties, according
to the report.
The environmental report is a major
step and the city must continue demon-
strating progress to avoid FEMA hand-
ing down a requirement that property
owners with federally-backed mort-
gages purchase costly flood insurance.
We need to show continued progress
that were moving forward; thats
allowed [FEMA] to provide us with extra
time and not place us in the flood zone,
Miller said.
The goal is to begin construction
around mid-2018 and have the project
completed about two years later in
2020, Miller said.
The City Council must ultimately
vote on whether to certify the environ-
mental document and will take it up May
8. The council will also be asked to pro-
vide direction on two very important
components the preferred design and
how to fund the multi-million-dollar
project, Miller said.
Various financing mechanisms will be
considered, including a general obliga-
tion bond, creating an assessment dis-
trict or a parcel tax, Miller said.
Thus far, the city has been leaning
toward a hybrid model, which can be
adjusted to meet future sea level rise. It
involves drilling sheet piles to create a
retaining wall along the current levee,
then using fill to reinstate the Bay Trail.
The environmental review considers a
range of alternatives such as not build-
ing, creating a horizontal levee and
whats known as a FEMA freeboard
alternative that essentially is the lowest
height they could go to meet the
agencys requirements, according to the

touch with many families who lost
children, spouses or loved ones in the
mass shooting.
Kaine recalled speaking with fami-
lies as he was leaving the governors
mansion in 2010.
I remember saying to them, Ill
never understand what you lost,
because I never lost a child, a spouse,
a parent or a sibling, he said. But as
somebody who has grown to know the
biographies and stories of each of
these 32, I begin to have a sense of
what the Commonwealth lost, what
the country lost, what the world lost
on April 16, 2007.
report.
The city is also looking to go beyond
federal mandates and create a levee that
can protect against future sea level rise
predictions. The council will be asked
whether it should be built to accommo-
date a potential rise through the year
2050 or 2100.
The timing of Foster Citys project is
particularly poignant as others through-
out the county and state are asked to
consider whats at risk of climate
change. San Mateo Countys Office of
Sustainability recently released the
countys first vulnerability assessment Magic Lantern 3-D Show. 8:30 p.m.
as part of its Sea Change SMC program.
Last week, climate change experts
released an updated analysis requested
by several state entities on how much
sea level rise is predicted in California.
That report notes various scenarios
including a 67 percent change the Bay
Area will see between 1 and 2.4 feet of
sea level rise by 2100. It notes even
higher rates of rising seas if no mitiga-
tion efforts are taken.
Both the state and county reports were
released in an effort to help local com-
munities plan for a changing climate
and potential sea level rise.
Foster Citys project is expected to be
an adaptable way to address current
needs as well as be more readily
improved to meet future climate change
predictions. Miller noted city officials
are hopeful the levee may serve as an
example for other communities poten-
tially at risk.
As we move forward with this,
Miller said, our project is probably
going to be used as hopefully a success-
ful model on how to do this, how you
engage with the community and the reg-
ulatory agencies.

NOTIcE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Edward Francis Dutra, Sr.
Case Number: 17PRO00316
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Edward Francis Dutra,
Sr. A Petition for Probate has been filed
by Ronald Perry Dutra in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
Ronald Perry Dutra be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedens will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: APR 28, 2017 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Turkey votes to expand presidents powers; critics cry fraud

By Elena Becatoros,
Zeynep Bilginsoy and Suzan Fraser
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISTANBUL Turkish President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan won a historic referendum
Sunday that will greatly expand the powers
of his office, although opposition parties
questioned the outcome and said they would
challenge the results.
With 99 percent of the ballots counted, the
yes vote stood at 51.37 percent, while the
no vote was 48.63 percent, according to
the state-run Anadolu Agency. The head of
Turkeys electoral board confirmed the yes
victory and said final results will be declared
in 11-12 days.
Although the margin fell short of the
sweeping victory Erdogan had sought in the
landmark referendum, it could nevertheless
cement his hold on power in Turkey and is
expected to have a huge effect on the coun-
trys long-term political future and its inter-
national relations.
The 18 constitutional amendments that
will come into effect after the next election,
scheduled for 2019, will abolish the office of
the prime minister and hand sweeping execu-
tive powers to the president.
In his first remarks from Istanbul, Erdogan
struck a conciliatory tone, thanking all vot-
ers no matter how they cast their ballots and
calling the referendum a historic decision.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan greets his supporters in Istanbul.
April 16 is the victory of all who said
yes or no, of the whole 80 million, of the
whole of Turkey, Erdogan told reporters in
address that was televised live.
But he quickly reverted to a more abrasive
REUTERS
style when addressing thousands of flag-
waving supporters in Istanbul.
There are those who are belittling the
result. They shouldnt try, it will be in vain,
he said. Its too late now.
Responding to chants from the crowd to
reinstate the death penalty, Erdogan said he
would take up the issue with the countrys
political leaders, adding that the question
could be put to another referendum if the
political leaders could not agree.
Opponents had argued the constitutional
changes would give too much power to a man
who they say has shown increasingly auto-
cratic tendencies. Opposition parties com-
plained of a number of irregularities in the
voting, and were particularly incensed by an
electoral board decision announced Sunday
afternoon to accept as valid ballots that did
not bear the official stamp.
The Supreme Electoral Board changed
rules mid-game, after the ballot envelopes
were opened, in a way contrary to laws, said
Kemal Kilicdaroglu, head of the main oppo-
sition Peoples Republican Party. Earlier,
the partys vice chairman, Erdal Aksunger,
said it would challenge between 37 percent
and 60 percent of the ballot boxes and
accused Anadolus results of being inaccu-
rate.
But electoral board head Sadi Guven
defended the decision.
There is no question of changing the rules
in the middle of the game, he said.
The pro-Kurdish opposition party, which
also opposed the constitutional changes,
said it plans to object to two-thirds of the
ballots.

Turkeys Erdogan proves a popular and polarizing figure

By Elena Becatoros
and Zeynep Bilginsoy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISTANBUL Rising from humble ori-
gins to take the helm of Turkeys govern-
ment in 2003, Recep Tayyip Erdogan
quickly attracted a fervent following. But
Erdogan, who served as prime minister and
then president, also became feared and
hated by many who saw him as an increas-
ingly autocratic leader seeking to erode
the countrys secular traditions by impos-
ing his conservative, religious views.
Constitutional changes that would
change the countrys system of govern-
ment from parliamentary to presidential
and grant Erdogan even more authority
were narrowly approved by Turkeys
voters on Sunday, according to unofficial
results from the countrys election com-
mission.
The changes, one of the most radical
political reforms since the Turkish repub-
lic was established in 1923, could see the
63-year-old president remain in power
until 2029.
The votes outcome reinforced Erdogans
image as a figure both popular and polar-
izing. While thousands of flag-waving
supporters cheered the referendums
approval, political opponents immediate-
ly questioned the legitimacy of the ballot-
ing and said they intended to challenge a
sizeable share of the count.
Erdogan served three consecutive terms
as prime minister as head of his Islamic-
rooted Justice and Development Party,
before becoming Turkeys first directly
elected president in 2014.
