"content": "\u003cp>Alameda County prosecutors will move forward with a retrial in the case of Derick Almena, who is charged with 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter for the deaths of three dozen people in a 2016 fire that burned through a converted Oakland warehouse known as the Ghost Ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Trina Thompson set a new trial date for March 30, 2020, which both parties had agreed to, during a Friday hearing in the long-running case that's seen an aborted plea deal and a hung jury on charges against Almena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thompson \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11764921/ghost-ship-defendant-max-harris-acquitted-of-all-charges-jury-hung-on-derick-almena\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">declared a mistrial in the case of Almena, the Ghost Ship's master tenant, on Sept. 5\u003c/a> after the jury deadlocked on a 10-2 vote to convict him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury acquitted co-defendant Max Harris, who had been described as second-in-command and creative director of the Ghost Ship, of all 36 charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ClydeDon/status/1180168308340871170?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tony Serra, Almena's defense lawyer, said he was confident about the upcoming trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Both the prosecution and defense have the same desire,\" Serra said. \"And what is that desire? We want to go to trial. We don't want to negotiate. We don't want to involve ourselves in any kind of plea agreement. We want a trial. Our case is stronger. We're confident.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serra said he doesn't expect any negotiations before the next trial begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the end of it,\" Serra said. \"We will prevail in the next trial.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ClydeDon/status/1180166491687157761?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A defense motion to reduce Almena's bail \"significantly\" from $750,000 was denied. Brian Getz, who represents Almena, called for bail to be reduced to $50,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getz argued in court his client was not a flight risk because he had no money and he was too recognizable from the high-profile case. He argued that if Almena fled he \"would never see his family again.\" He also argued there was \"no intent to hurt anyone\" and that \"everything he has done is in cooperation with the court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Judge Thompson alluded to Almena having not abided by court-ordered rules in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can’t ignore the fact that Mr. Almena has had court orders or been placed on supervision of some kind in the past, and didn’t always abide by the rules of the authorities,\" Thompson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also said that although Almena had a \"mild\" criminal past, she was also considering that \"36 lives were lost, and this case has the most heightened circumstances of any homicide case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getz said outside court that it was \"unfathomable\" his client's bail wasn't reduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I felt that this was a bail motion that had merit because Mr. Almena never intended to hurt anybody,\" Getz said. \"And this is different than the other cases where bail was high but there was intentional, willful, violent conduct on the part of the person who was in jail. I know there are some people who say that Almena is not remorseful and has not shown remorse for what happened. Well, he has. Every single day he thinks about it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Micah Allison, Almena's wife and mother of their three children, attended the hearing, along with other supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really important for me, just for people to know that there are people all over the world praying for our family, and that they want to see him come home to his children,\" Allison said to reporters after the hearing. \"I'm obviously really sad about this denial of the bail. All Derick wants to do is to be with his kids. That's all he wants. That's all he's ever wanted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allison said \"the remorse that we feel and that everyone feels is immeasurable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will never be the same. We will never be the same,\" Allison said. \"There is nothing that I can do that can take away what happened. Nothing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleen Dolan, mother of fire victim Chelsea Faith Dolan, was glad Almena was heading back to trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I miss her every day. I miss her every night. I think about the fire every day and every night,\" Dolan said of her daughter outside court. \"And I do want the man responsible to be held accountable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dolan said she was glad Almena's bail wasn't reduced because she believes he would flee with his family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Almena left court on Friday, Thompson held a hearing for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11768668/at-least-2-jurors-dismissed-in-ghost-ship-trial-could-be-held-in-contempt-of-court\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two jurors who she dismissed on Aug. 19\u003c/a> during jury deliberations for improper communications and found both of them to be in contempt of court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thompson issued a $500 fine for one of the jurors but said she wouldn't impose it and make her pay it. Thompson told the other juror that she would not impose a fine or order her to serve any jail time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11777380,arts_13865804,news_11764921' label='More Ghost Ship Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Criminal Trial\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Almena and Harris had both faced the same charges, one count for each of the 35 concertgoers and one tenant who died from a fire that began shortly after 11 p.m. on Dec. 2, 2016, during an electronic music party in the warehouse converted into a ramshackle artists' residence and illegal event space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prosecution had argued during the previous trial that the actions of Almena and Harris amounted to criminal negligence. They argued the warehouse was illegally converted into an unsafe living space with complete disregard for safety, violating nine fire codes. Prosecutors argued the victims didn't have enough notice, time or the ability to exit when the building began to fill with smoke, due to a lack of sprinklers, alarms and adequate exit signage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy District Attorney Autrey James also argued that Almena almost immediately violated the terms of the lease he signed in November 2013 by allowing people to live there. The prosecution said major alterations to the Ghost Ship were made without the required building permits and that events were held in the building without clearance from the city of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warehouse owner Chor Ng, and her son and daughter, Kai and Eva Ng, were not charged. Almena testified that landlord Eva Ng had asked him to get permits for changes to the warehouse but that he had declined, and that \"early on\" in the immediate months after signing the lease he had \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11760427/ghost-ship-defendant-says-he-wont-blame-anybody-for-deadly-warehouse-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asked the Ngs to obtain the proper permits\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During closing arguments, defense attorneys pointed to testimony by many former tenants and visitors who said they felt the Ghost Ship was safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense also argued that personnel from several agencies, including Oakland's police and fire departments, as well as Child Protective Services, had passed through the warehouse dozens of times in the years leading up to the fire and had never flagged the building, never red-tagged it or issued any eviction notices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys for both defendants also argued during the criminal trial the fire may have been intentionally set, presenting testimony from several witnesses who said they saw a group of people starting the deadly blaze. Almena and Harris, their attorneys said, couldn't have done anything to prevent the alleged arson. James said in his rebuttal to the defense's closing arguments that there was no evidence of arson and called testimony by a key witness \"unbelievable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense also said in closing arguments that their clients were scapegoats for the city of Oakland, which Serra said failed to enforce its own building and safety regulations. The city is one of several defendants in a civil lawsuit arising from the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trial began on April 30 and jury deliberations began three months later on July 31. On the 10th day of deliberations, three jurors were dismissed for misconduct. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11768501/3-jurors-in-ghost-ship-trial-replaced-deliberations-must-begin-all-over-again\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Three alternates were rotated into the jury and Thompson told them to begin deliberations anew\u003c/a>. The newly formed jury reached their decision on Sept. 5, which was day 6 of deliberations.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Events Leading Up to the Criminal Trial\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Almena and Harris \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11495325/two-reportedly-charged-with-manslaughter-in-oaklands-ghost-ship-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">were arrested on June 5, 2017\u003c/a>, and each charged with 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11678966/men-plead-no-contest-in-deadly-ghost-ship-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Both pleaded no contest\u003c/a> to the charges on July 3, 2018, in Alameda County Superior Court, with Almena agreeing to a nine-year jail sentence with four years of supervised release. Harris agreed to a six-year jail sentence with four years of supervised release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on Aug. 10, 2018, Alameda County Superior Court Judge James Cramer \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11686316/judge-rejects-plea-deals-in-deadly-oakland-warehouse-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rejected the pleas\u003c/a>, a decision that put the case on the path to this year's trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In explaining his decision, Cramer said Almena didn't acknowledge responsibility or show remorse for the fatal blaze. Cramer said the plea deal would have been fair for Harris, but in rejecting it for one defendant, he was bound by the law to reject it for both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Reporting from Bay City News was used in this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post has been updated.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

They argued the warehouse was illegally converted into an unsafe living space with complete disregard for safety, violating nine fire codes. Prosecutors argued the victims didn't have enough notice, time or the ability to exit when the building began to fill with smoke, due to a lack of sprinklers, alarms and adequate exit signage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy District Attorney Autrey James also argued that Almena almost immediately violated the terms of the lease he signed in November 2013 by allowing people to live there. The prosecution said major alterations to the Ghost Ship were made without the required building permits and that events were held in the building without clearance from the city of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warehouse owner Chor Ng, and her son and daughter, Kai and Eva Ng, were not charged. Almena testified that landlord Eva Ng had asked him to get permits for changes to the warehouse but that he had declined, and that \"early on\" in the immediate months after signing the lease he had \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11760427/ghost-ship-defendant-says-he-wont-blame-anybody-for-deadly-warehouse-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asked the Ngs to obtain the proper permits\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During closing arguments, defense attorneys pointed to testimony by many former tenants and visitors who said they felt the Ghost Ship was safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense also argued that personnel from several agencies, including Oakland's police and fire departments, as well as Child Protective Services, had passed through the warehouse dozens of times in the years leading up to the fire and had never flagged the building, never red-tagged it or issued any eviction notices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys for both defendants also argued during the criminal trial the fire may have been intentionally set, presenting testimony from several witnesses who said they saw a group of people starting the deadly blaze. Almena and Harris, their attorneys said, couldn't have done anything to prevent the alleged arson. James said in his rebuttal to the defense's closing arguments that there was no evidence of arson and called testimony by a key witness \"unbelievable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That call is at the center of a whistleblower’s complaint accusing Trump of pressuring the Ukrainian president to get election help by opening a corruption investigation into Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. Trump condemned the impeachment inquiry as a “witch hunt,” attacked the credibility and character of the whistleblower, and called for the resignation of House Judiciary Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-Burbank). \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scott Shafer, KQED senior editor of Politics and Government\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jessica Taylor, NPR political reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>OUSD Superintendent Kyla Johnson-Trammell\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kyla Johnson-Trammell is the superintendent of the Oakland Unified School District.

That call is at the center of a whistleblower’s complaint accusing Trump of pressuring the Ukrainian president to get election help by opening a corruption investigation into Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. Trump condemned the impeachment inquiry as a “witch hunt,” attacked the credibility and character of the whistleblower, and called for the resignation of House Judiciary Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-Burbank). \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scott Shafer, KQED senior editor of Politics and Government\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jessica Taylor, NPR political reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>OUSD Superintendent Kyla Johnson-Trammell\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kyla Johnson-Trammell is the superintendent of the Oakland Unified School District. As its top administrator, she oversees 83 public schools that serve the educational needs of nearly 37,000 children. But the district is facing funding deficits of millions of dollars, which has prompted layoffs, school closures and mergers. In March, it renegotiated a contract with the union representing its teachers, who went on a weeklong protest to demand higher wages and smaller class sizes. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kyla Johnson-Trammell, OUSD superintendent\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“Mask”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For decades, National Geographic Explorer and photographer Chris Rainier has traveled the world documenting cultures and traditions in danger of disappearing.

But he also raised the ire of top state officials by announcing that his administration would revoke California’s ability to set its own tougher fuel emissions standards. Since 1970, the Environmental Protection Agency has granted California a waiver to enforce aggressive air pollution standards that are today followed by 13 other states. Gov.

Meanwhile, on Monday, Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered a crackdown on illicit vaping products in the state and the launch of a $20 million marketing campaign to curb the use of e-cigarettes by teens, and retail giant Walmart announced today that it would end the sale of e-cigarettes at its stores in the U.S., citing “regulatory complexity and uncertainty” of the devices. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Laura Klivans, KQED health reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Erica Pan, interim health officer, Alameda County Department of Public Health\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Transgender Singers Bring New Voices and Diversity to Opera Stage\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Making it as an opera singer is tough enough as it is.

"content": "\u003cp>Veteran journalist Cokie Roberts, who joined an upstart NPR in 1978 and left an indelible imprint on the growing network with her coverage of Washington politics before later going to ABC News, has died. She was 75.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts died Tuesday because of complications from breast cancer, according to a family statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bestselling author and Emmy Award winner, Roberts was one of NPR's most recognizable voices and is considered one of a handful of pioneering female journalists — along with Nina Totenberg, Linda Wertheimer and Susan Stamberg — who helped shape the public broadcaster's sound and culture at a time when few women held prominent roles in journalism. Having so many female voices at a national broadcaster was nothing short of revolutionary in the 1970s, NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson recalled in an \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2019/02/liasson-q-a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview\u003c/a> with \u003cem>The Daily Princetonian\u003c/em> earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We called them the Founding Mothers of NPR, or sometimes we called them the Fallopian Club,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\"]'Cokie Roberts was a trailblazer who forever transformed the role of women in the newsroom and in our history books.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liasson said it wasn't so much that NPR had a mission for gender equality but that the network's pay, which was well below that of the commercial networks of the day, resulted in \"a lot of really great women who were in prominent positions there and who helped other women.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time Roberts joined ABC News in 1988 — while retaining a part-time role as a political commentator at NPR that she maintained until her death — women were increasingly commonplace at broadcast networks and newspapers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts, the daughter of former U.S. representatives, grew up walking the halls of Congress and absorbing the personalities, folkways and behind-the-scenes machinations of the nation's capital. She became a seasoned Washington insider who developed a distinctive voice as a reporter and commentator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.ket.org/public-affairs/cokie-roberts-current-politics-storied-career/\">a 2017 interview\u003c/a> with Kentucky Educational Television, Roberts reflected on her long career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is such a privilege — you have a front seat to history,\" she said. \"You do get used to it, and you shouldn't, because it is a very special thing to be able to be in the room ... when all kinds of special things are happening.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although she was the only member of her immediate family not to run for Congress, Roberts considered her role as a journalist and political analyst as her way of giving back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do feel strongly that informing the voters about what's going on, trying to explain it in ways that people can understand, and putting the issues out there is a form of participation,\" Roberts told KET.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Political journalist George Will, who worked with Roberts on ABC's \u003cem>This Week,\u003c/em> said Roberts was not just born to the political class but was a natural inhabitant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She liked people on both sides of the aisle and had friends on both sides of the aisle,\" Will told NPR. \"If you don't like the game of politics, I don't see how you write about it well,\" he said. \"She liked the game of politics and she understood that it was a game.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born in New Orleans as Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne Boggs, she was given the nickname Cokie by her brother, Thomas, who had trouble pronouncing Corinne.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts' father was Thomas Hale Boggs Sr., a former Democratic majority leader of the House who served in Congress for more than three decades before he disappeared on a campaign flight in Alaska in 1972. Her mother, Lindy Claiborne Boggs, took her husband's seat and served for 17 years. She also served as U.S. ambassador to the Vatican.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts split her time between Louisiana and Washington as a child and attended Wellesley College in Massachusetts. Her first job was at the Washington television station WRC-TV, where she hosted a public affairs program called \u003cem>Meeting of Minds. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She married journalist Steven V. Roberts in 1966. After holding a number of other broadcast jobs, she and her husband moved in the early 1970s to Athens, Greece, where he worked for \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> and she filed radio stories as a freelance correspondent for CBS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1977, Roberts and her family returned to Washington, where she took a job with a then-almost unknown NPR. She served as NPR's congressional correspondent for more than 10 years. While in that role, she was also a contributor to PBS's \u003cem>The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts left NPR in 1988 to become a political correspondent for ABC's \u003cem>World News Tonight\u003c/em> with Peter Jennings. She was also a regular fill-in anchor for Ted Koppel on \u003cem>Nightline. \u003c/em>From 1992 to 2002, Roberts co-anchored ABC News' Sunday morning show \u003cem>This Week,\u003c/em> alongside Sam Donaldson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Will said that although Washington is a \"town of short leases,\" with people constantly coming and going, Roberts represented the permanent Washington, a kind of figure who was constant through decades of political change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Washington not often denounced by people who denounce Washington because they don't know it exists,\" Will said. \"Cokie represented the durable, ongoing Washington that is a custodian of the manners of the city and the sociability of the city that makes it really function.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Cokie Roberts\"]'Don't get all involved in the politics of your institution, or competition in your institution. Just do your work and get it on the air, and then people will see if you're good.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts won numerous awards during her long career in journalism, including three Emmys and the Edward R. Murrow award. She was inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame. She was recognized by American Women in Radio and Television as one of the 50 greatest women in the history of broadcasting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Much of Cokie Roberts' fame and credibility resides in her image as a rough-and-trouble woman capable of giving as good as she gets in the equally rough-and-tumble world of male dominated politics,\" Dan Nimmo wrote in \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://books.google.com/books?id=UZkC2D6WkHEC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Political Commentators in the United States in the 20th Century\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nNtI_Fv4e8\">In an interview\u003c/a> with the Television Academy Foundation, Roberts said she would often offer this advice to younger women navigating political journalism in Washington: \"Duck and file.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Don't get all involved in the politics of your institution, or competition in your institution. Just do your work and get it on the air, and then people will see if you're good,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts was the author of six books, mostly recently \u003cem>Capital Dames: The Civil War and the Women of Washington, 1848-1868,\u003c/em> which examined the role of powerful women during that era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a commentator, Roberts sometimes walked a line that threatened to eclipse her role as a dispassionate journalist. In a February 2016 op-ed, she and her husband called on \"the rational wing\" of the Republican Party to stop the nomination of Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[Trump] is one of the least qualified candidates ever to make a serious run for the presidency,\" Roberts and her husband wrote. \"If he is nominated by a major party — let alone elected — the reputation of the United States would suffer a devastating blow around the world.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In interviews, Roberts often said she might have run for public office herself but thought she would spare her journalist husband the difficulty of what could be an awkward dynamic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have always felt semi-guilty about it.

She was 75.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts died Tuesday because of complications from breast cancer, according to a family statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bestselling author and Emmy Award winner, Roberts was one of NPR's most recognizable voices and is considered one of a handful of pioneering female journalists — along with Nina Totenberg, Linda Wertheimer and Susan Stamberg — who helped shape the public broadcaster's sound and culture at a time when few women held prominent roles in journalism. Having so many female voices at a national broadcaster was nothing short of revolutionary in the 1970s, NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson recalled in an \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2019/02/liasson-q-a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview\u003c/a> with \u003cem>The Daily Princetonian\u003c/em> earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We called them the Founding Mothers of NPR, or sometimes we called them the Fallopian Club,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

About 100 singers, voice coaches and academic researchers met for a day to share their experiences and advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franks did something that day that took a lot of courage. He stood in front of all those voice experts while samples of his singing — recorded at various stages of his gender reassignment process — played over the speakers. His voice had changed over a period of two years or so, from ringing high and clear as a bell, to sounding low and croaky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You feel sort of bad knowing that you did that to your voice, when your voice has been so good to you,” Franks said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1990s and early 2000s, Franks was one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s go-to classical singers, making regular appearances with acclaimed ensembles, like the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale and the San Francisco Opera Chorus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Elliot’s voice was magnificent,” said Philharmonia Chorale director Bruce Lamott, who worked with Franks for about a decade. “He had a very agile voice with an extraordinary range.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, Franks used his female birth name and sang traditional soprano and mezzo-soprano parts. But offstage, he always dressed in men’s attire and preferred to be addressed with masculine pronouns. This was in keeping with his lifelong belief that gender covers a wide spectrum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To be forced to conform to one of two standard gender norms is to deny a person’s individuality, freedom of expression, personal identity and integrity,” Franks said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11773575\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11773575 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium-800x413.png\" alt=\"Elliot Franks and his vocal coach Ruth Rainero present a session at the 2019 Transgender Singing Symposium in San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium-800x413.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium-160x83.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium-1020x527.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium-1200x619.png 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium-1920x991.png 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elliot Franks and his vocal coach, Ruth Rainero, present a session at Trans and Singing: A Symposium for Voice Teachers and Singers, in San Francisco in February 2019. \u003ccite>(Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The 56-year-old Richmond resident said he has felt this way since he was a kid growing up near Birmingham, England, in the 1970s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a teen whom others saw as a girl but who clearly felt differently about his own identity, Franks said he found the gender-neutral church choir dress code, with its baggy, tentlike robes, oddly liberating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was my refuge really,” Franks said. “To be in a situation where I could be myself, and at that point, sort of relatively genderless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franks watched the boys at school with envy, but couldn’t quite figure out why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"left\" citation=\"Elliot Franks\"]“I thought, well, you know, I’m never going to be a young man.

About 100 singers, voice coaches and academic researchers met for a day to share their experiences and advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franks did something that day that took a lot of courage. He stood in front of all those voice experts while samples of his singing — recorded at various stages of his gender reassignment process — played over the speakers. His voice had changed over a period of two years or so, from ringing high and clear as a bell, to sounding low and croaky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You feel sort of bad knowing that you did that to your voice, when your voice has been so good to you,” Franks said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1990s and early 2000s, Franks was one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s go-to classical singers, making regular appearances with acclaimed ensembles, like the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale and the San Francisco Opera Chorus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Elliot’s voice was magnificent,” said Philharmonia Chorale director Bruce Lamott, who worked with Franks for about a decade. “He had a very agile voice with an extraordinary range.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, Franks used his female birth name and sang traditional soprano and mezzo-soprano parts. But offstage, he always dressed in men’s attire and preferred to be addressed with masculine pronouns. This was in keeping with his lifelong belief that gender covers a wide spectrum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To be forced to conform to one of two standard gender norms is to deny a person’s individuality, freedom of expression, personal identity and integrity,” Franks said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11773575\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11773575 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium-800x413.png\" alt=\"Elliot Franks and his vocal coach Ruth Rainero present a session at the 2019 Transgender Singing Symposium in San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium-800x413.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium-160x83.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium-1020x527.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium-1200x619.png 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium-1920x991.png 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/Elliot-singing-at-the-trans-singing-symposium.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elliot Franks and his vocal coach, Ruth Rainero, present a session at Trans and Singing: A Symposium for Voice Teachers and Singers, in San Francisco in February 2019. \u003ccite>(Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The 56-year-old Richmond resident said he has felt this way since he was a kid growing up near Birmingham, England, in the 1970s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a teen whom others saw as a girl but who clearly felt differently about his own identity, Franks said he found the gender-neutral church choir dress code, with its baggy, tentlike robes, oddly liberating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was my refuge really,” Franks said. “To be in a situation where I could be myself, and at that point, sort of relatively genderless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franks watched the boys at school with envy, but couldn’t quite figure out why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I had this female voice, and that was what people were expecting to see. And I cleaned up pretty well back then.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He felt fairly comfortable with continuing on in this way for a long time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He started worrying about other people’s perceptions of his gender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I found as I got older, I was more concerned with how other people [perceived me], if I told them about myself or they found out through other channels,” Franks said. “It bothered me that it would make people uncomfortable or upset people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franks had a couple of gender reassignment surgeries and started thinking about taking testosterone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was a long and hard decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When someone takes testosterone, it not only tends to make them hairier and increases their muscle mass, but it also lowers the voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The testosterone thickens the vocal fold,” explained voice speech pathologist Sarah Schneider, who specializes in working with transgender singers at UCSF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11774327\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/elliot-and-lucia-1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11774327 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/elliot-and-lucia-1-800x528.jpg\" alt=\"Elliot Franks (right) and fellow singer Lucia Lucas (left) in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in May 2019.\" width=\"800\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/elliot-and-lucia-1-800x528.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/elliot-and-lucia-1-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/elliot-and-lucia-1-1020x673.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/elliot-and-lucia-1-1200x792.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/elliot-and-lucia-1-1920x1268.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/elliot-and-lucia-1.jpg 1934w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elliot Franks (right) and fellow singer Lucia Lucas (left) in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in May 2019. \u003ccite>(Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But learning a new lower-pitched way of speaking and singing often comes with enormous challenges. “Some people describe it as feeling locked in,” Schneider said. “They’re not quite sure how to navigate the lower voice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franks agonized about what taking male hormones might do to his beautiful soprano voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I often heard people talking to me about how moved they were about my performance,” he said. “How vocally I had moved them, but also dramatically. And I always took that as a great compliment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he figured he was aging out of his favorite opera roles anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I thought, well, you know, I’m never going to be a young man.
