Who cares about the shareholders! What does it mean for us ratepayers?!

I am a long-term customer of the infamous greenlogoed coffee store. On many occasions, I have been appalled by you, the supposed manager of a West Valley location. You are like the Cheshire cat, being friendly to the customers, but then you turn around and berate and belittle your staff like I have not seen at any other of the shops in your chain. I have seen you make the baristas, mostly women, cry. But the way you treated one particularly elderly staffer was the last straw for me. She is one of your fastest, most pleasant workers. But you came over while she was taking orders and reprimand her again, screaming in front of everyone, “Remember to greet your customers!” She had been! You just wanted something to scream at her for. She was clearly embarrassed yet she bravely kept her composure. The company may have closed for the recent training that we all had to hear about, but it appears as if they failed, again, to include any sort of manager training.

San Jose Councilman LAN DIEP tweeted over the weekend about how he’s spending his Sundays during the month-plus recess from city meetings. “Sundays are my reading days to prepare for Tuesday Council mtgs,” he wrote, “But there aren’t any mtgs in July, so in an attempt to ‘stay in shape,’ I read the last few chapters of @ sydfinkelstein’s Superbosses and three issues of @ForeignAffairs. Now on to @ TheEconomist. #CityCouncilSummers.” Fly checked in with some of his councilmates to see how they’re spending their own They #CityCouncilSummer, Did which has left things eerily quiet on the What? 18th floor of City Hall. SEND TIPS TO A couple councilors FLY@ took advantage of the METRONEWS. free time to jet out of COM town—and some out of the country. Councilman JOHNNY KHAMIS kicked off his summer by setting up and tearing down the Fourth of July fireworks show at Almaden Lake Park and cutting the ribbon at San Jose’s very own Dunkin’ Donuts before flying off to his native Lebanon and his wife’s birthplace in the West Bank. His South San Jose colleague, Councilman SERGIO JIMENEZ, also left the country for a visit to Tijuana, Mexico, where he and his daughter helped build a home as part of a program through San Jose’s St. Julie Billart Church. Terming-out Councilman DON ROCHA’s summer has been “different than any other,” he says, because of his campaign to succeed Santa Clara County Supervisor KEN YEAGER in the District 4 seat. But the Cambrian council rep still made time for a family trip to Hawaii and, back home, getting his motorcycle up and running for the first time in a year. Vice Mayor MAGDALENA CARRASCO is keeping it local to be around loved ones as she continues to grieve the death of her mother earlier this year. Downtown Councilman RAUL PERALEZ is also staying close to home to spend time with his pregnant wife.

RUBBED OUT The owners of an East San Jose strip mall say it’s unfair for the city to cover the cost of policing illegal activity such as prostitution by going after the landlords.

Hapless Ending San Jose takes property owners to task over scofflaw massage parlor tenants BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

GT. RICK GALEA led the Nov. 30 sting at Bebe Day Spa that resulted in a prostitution arrest and a lawsuit by the city of San Jose to shutter the strip mall massage parlor until it licensed its way aboveboard.

Months passed, but the holein-the-wall East Side joint cited in Rubmaps.com reviews as a go-to for transactional sex had yet to obtain the proper permits. So when Galea picked up some overtime stretching into the predawn darkness of April 23, the garland of white lights flickering in the window seemed suspect. From his marked patrol car, the vice squad veteran says he watched as three men disembarked from a vehicle around 3:30am, knocked on Bebe’s

tint-blackened doors and slipped inside for about 10 to 15 minutes. In Galea’s telling, the prospective johns didn’t fare so well. “They did not get a ‘happy ending’ or a massage,” the officer recounted at a court hearing earlier this week. With just “two girls” working and “three guys” calling, he explained, the wouldbe clients left. Galea, who says he’s worked hundreds of similar cases, surmised that the tenant was violating a Feb. 27 court order to stop doing business. He told the city attorney, who alerted the property owner, who gave Bebe Day Spa proprietor Hung Nguyen a threeday eviction notice. Nguyen settled with the city, which slapped him with a $10,000 fine and a 10-year ban from the massage business, and then dipped out. Nuisance abated.

But the landlord—young motherto-be Shufei Yang—isn’t off the hook just yet. Two days before a June 22 hearing that she thought would resolve litigation over Nguyen’s alleged wrongdoing, the city upped the ante by accusing Yang of criminal contempt for violating the same temporary restraining order targeting Nguyen. “That poisoned the well,” Yang’s attorney Harpaul Nahal says, “and they only did that because they didn’t want this to end until they got the money from my client.” City Attorney Rick Doyle says that’s kind of the point. Empowered in part by legislation enacted in 2016 that shifted regulatory power from the state to local governments and in part by new case law, San Jose has increasingly sought to hold property owners accountable for problems associated with their real estate investments. One reason is to make an example of absentee landlords. But the primary motivation is more pragmatic: to recover the cost of enforcement. “The first step is to abate the nuisance, the second step is to collect fines,” Doyle says. “We’re not trying to be ridiculous here, but we want to

Public Notice

Calero Dam Seismic Retrofit Project You are invited! Who:

Santa Clara Valley Water District

What:

Scoping meeting for Environmental Impact Report

When:

Wednesday, July 18, 2018, 5:30 p.m.

Where: Santa Clara Valley Water District, 5750 Almaden Expressway, CA 95118, Administration Building, Conference Room B108. The project would consist of activities associated with remedying seismic, flood passage and long-term operations at Calero Dam. The project goals and objectives are to: • Stabilize the Calero Dam embankment to withstand a maximum credible earthquake. • Implement improvements as necessary for the dam system to safely pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). • Ensure that outlet works and hydraulic control system meet the Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD) requirements. • Replace and modernize the spillway to increase freeboard. • Breach Fellow’s Dike, an older and smaller dam located on the southern-most section of the reservoir that is severely deteriorated. • Incorporate other measures to address seismic and other dam safety deficiencies identified through the project delivery process. The proposed project would include excavation and construction of a downstream earthen buttress, mining of rock from nearby borrow areas, raising the dam crest by approximately four feet, constructing a new intake structure, a new spillway and constructing new outlet facilities to the creek below the left dam abutment. The water district, acting as lead agency for the proposed project, has determined that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is required to satisfy requirements cited in the California Environmental Quality Act. A draft EIR will evaluate the environmental conditions in and around the project area and analyze the potential environmental impacts associated with implementing the project. A Notice of Preparation (NOP) has been prepared and circulated to local, state and federal agencies responsible for project approval or permitting for a 30-day review period to define the scope and content of the draft EIR. Copies of the NOP are available for review from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays at the Santa Clara Valley Water District Headquarters Building, 5700 Almaden Expressway, San Jose, CA 95118, starting July 18, 2018. The NOP can also be accessed online at: https://www.valleywater.org/project-updates/public-review-documents. The water district will hold a scoping meeting at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 at the Santa Clara Valley Water District, 5750 Almaden Expressway, 95118, Administration Building, Conference Room B108. The scoping meeting will provide an opportunity to learn about the project, ask questions and provide comments about the scope and content of the information to be addressed in the draft EIR. If you are unable to attend the scoping meeting, you can still provide written comments for consideration during preparation of the draft EIR by sending comments no later than Monday, August 20, 2018 at 5 p.m. to: Santa Clara Valley Water District Attention: Ryan Heacock 5750 Almaden Expressway, San Jose, CA 95118 or rheacock@valleywater.org For further information, please contact Ryan Heacock at (408) 630-3202 or by e-mail. 07/2018 BA

make sure the point is made and to make sure that there’s a deterrent.” Under the Red Light Abatement Act passed in 1914 to crack down on San Francisco’s bustling red-light district, cities can board up buildings used for illicit sex work or gambling and, these days, neutralize the cost of doing so by imposing fines up to $25,000 per defendant. San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera used the law last fall to get the property owner and operator of a notorious Financial District brothel to cough up a combined $295,000. The settlement prevents landlord Frank Iavarone from leasing to massage parlors or any “personal service” business for the next decade. Lisa Spiwak, a founding partner of Southern California-based Spiwak & Iezza commercial collection law firm, says such nuisance abatement cases reflect a broader movement by cities to hold landlords liable for scofflaw lessees. In a 2015 white paper, she traces the trend back to a 2005 court case from the Southern District of New York in which fashion powerhouse Louis Vuitton secured a permanent injunction against a landlord who leased to several tenants shilling counterfeit handbags. Vuitton successfully forced the landlord to oust the tenants, post notices that counterfeit goods are illegal and comply with random compliance inspections. Luxury leather-goods maker Coach followed suit, as did Michael Kors. Spiwak calls the approach—which cities tend to wield more on the cannabis, gambling and massage industries— “extremely disconcerting.” “History indicates that landlords are not legally liable for damages caused by their tenant’s illegal activities unless the landlord is aware of the activities and condones or facilitates them,” she writes in her report. “Recent court decisions, however, are changing history and placing greater burdens on landlords in this regard.” Doyle says it’s reasonable to expect landlords to stay engaged enough with tenants to know what they’re up to, and that the city files anywhere from six to 10 lawsuits a year against property owners who can’t, or won’t, bring their lessees in line. In one case, Doyle’s office litigated to get the Jack-

in-the-Box on South First Street to clean up its act. “It had become a place where pimps were hanging out, prostitutes, drug dealers and what have you,” Doyle says. “It turned out that the owners lived in Oakland, and we notified them that we were going to sue unless they took some responsibility, installed new lighting, fencing or whatever it took to keep the problems out.” Yet Yang and Nahal say going after landlords is taking things a step too far. Private property owners shouldn’t foot the bill for costly police stings and code enforcement sweeps that target rogue tenants, Nahal says. “Since when has the city abdicated its police powers to landlords?” he asks outside Yang’s tan-stuccoed tile-roofed strip mall. “If someone breaks the law, police should arrest them. You shouldn’t expect landlords to do the work for them.” If the court rules in favor of the city, Yang and her husband could end up with a six-figure judgment and a settlement that would allow the city to randomly inspect not only the emptied-out Bebe Day Spa storefront but the rest of their property. “That could lead to a chilling effect,” Nahal argues. “Who’s going to want to do business with them?” And while San Jose’s legal team accuses the Yangs of turning a blind eye to Nguyen’s fly-by-night massage racket, the couple says they tried to work with the city to resolve the problem as soon as they heard about it. In court filings, Nahal attached copies of text messages in which Yang expressly tells Nguyen to comply with the city. Doyle doesn’t buy it. In the city’s eyes, Galea’s April 23 stakeout proved that Nguyen wasn’t obeying the terms of the court order—and the Yangs are guilty by association. Of the 300-plus massage parlors in San Jose, only 14 are licensed with the San Jose Police Department. Thus, Doyle says, it would be wise for landlords to make sure tenants running those kinds of businesses prove that they’re up to code. “If the landlord doesn’t know, then they should know,” he says, “like the proverbial line about the piano player at the brothel not knowing what’s going on in the back.”

Mountain View Rent Control Repeal Fails to Qualify for Fall Ballot

DAM STRAIGHT The Pacheco Reservoir expansion has been more than a decade in the making.

Valley Water a Step Closer to Building $1 Billion Dam BY BARRY HOLTZCLAW The Santa Clara Valley Water District is moving forward with plans to build a new Pacheco Pass reservoir in Santa Clara County, which the district describes as a “game-changer” to ease the impact of future droughts in the Bay Area. If $485 million in state funds are approved this month, supporters say they could raise the rest of the $969 million project budget from federal grants and increased water rates to build the largest reservoir constructed in the Bay Area in the past 20 years. The water district board on June 26 approved an MOU between the Santa Clara Valley, Pacheco Pass and San Benito County water districts and approved an option to buy land for the massive dam and reservoir project, which has been in the planning stages for a decade. The board last year submitted an application to the California Water Commission for funding

of the project under Proposition 1, and final hearings before the commission were held in late June. The commission’s decision on state funding is expected by the end of this month. Meanwhile, the water district said it may seek federal authorization for construction funding from Federal Water Infrastructure Improvements. “The Pacheco Reservoir Expansion Project is a modern solution to the age-old challenges of providing a sustainable water supply for our expanding population and businesses,” district staff said in a report. “This project will reduce the frequency and severity of water shortages, provide flood protection for disadvantaged communities, (and) protect and grow the native steelhead population.” The proposed state funding would come from Prop. 1, which was approved by nearly three-quarters of San Benito and Santa Clara county voters in 2014.

The rest would come from the $2.7 billion Water Storage Investment Program, part of a $7.5 billion bond passed by voters in 2014. The project would establish a new dam and expanded reservoir on the North Fork of Pacheco Creek that could hold 141,000 acre-feet of water—a huge increase from the 6,000-acrefoot capacity of the existing reservoir. Constructed in 1939 and used for groundwater recharge, the reservoir lies about 13 miles southwest of San Luis Reservoir, off Highway 152. “It is not often that we encounter an opportunity to build something that will have such profound benefits for the environment, flood control and water supply,” said district board member Gary Kremen. “There are few suitable spots in California for new water storage, and fewer still that substantially help threatened fish species. We’re fortunate to have one of those spots in our backyard.”

A measure that aimed to rescind Mountain View’s voter-approved rent control ordinance has failed to qualify for the fall 2018 ballot, but may still have a shot in 2020. The landlordbacked group called Measure V Too Costly hired signature-gatherers to help collect the 5,150 names needed to qualify the initiative, but failed to submit any to the city in time to get it on the November ballot. Measure V Too Costly spokeswoman Laura Teutschel has yet to return a call for comment, but other news outlets are reporting that the campaign was several hundred names short of the threshold. Signatures collected this year, however, can be used to qualify the measure for the 2020 election. Mountain View voters authorized rent control with the passage of Measure V in 2016. The local measure inspired similar grassroots, tenant-led initiatives throughout the Bay Area in the year to follow. But a coalition of landlords vowed to overturn the Mountain View ordinance that caps annual allowable rent increases at 3.6 percent. Hoping to overturn the rent cap by yet another ballot measure, the landlord-led group has led a spirited campaign that has drawn criticism for what renters’ rights groups called misleading tactics. Mountain View City Clerk Lisa Natusch confirmed that nearly 300 people filed signature withdrawal forms with the city because they didn’t want their name associated with the proposed repeal measure. —Dominoe Ibarra

PIG JIG If efforts to save this iconic San Jose sign are successful, Porky will once again be dancing his way to the meat grinder.

glory Hog Grassroots fundraising to restore the neon dancing pig sign passes the halfway mark BY GARY SINGH

LOCAL GRASSROOTS effort to fix San Jose’s most iconic sign, the Stephen’s Meat Products neon dancing pig masterpiece, has raised more than half the money it needs. The Preservation Action Council of San Jose (PAC*SJ), as well as passionate enthusiasts like Heather David, have tapped their networks and pooled their resources, so far raising more than $25,000 toward an estimated goal of $40,000.

The plan is heroic: Paint the sign, fill up the bullet holes, re-illuminate the neon components and get that pig dancing again. Over the years, many of San Jose’s neon signs have disappeared, while others have been rescued and saved in storage. The Stephen’s sign still occupies a minuscule piece of real estate in a parking strip infested with waist-high weeds overflowing onto a perpetually cracked sidewalk. It rises from the ground right next to a small surface parking lot by Diridon Station, a parcel that many expect will be snatched up by Google as part of the company’s plan to build a

neighborhood for its employees. At this point, the money being raised is for the day when the sign’s future is solidified. Otherwise, there’s no reason to start the repairs just yet. “Google is well aware of the issue with the sign,” says Brian Grayson, executive director of PAC*SJ, “both from us and a large number of members from the community that have raised it enough times at meetings. So they’re certainly aware of the sign and its importance. We’re hopeful that we can work well together and come up with a solution that works for everybody.” Stephen’s Meat Products was a local company that provided meat to restaurants and residents for generations. The sign was and is a definitive piece of San Jose lore. Back when it was working, many people traveled to downtown to see the sign, people who would otherwise never visit. When illuminated, the sign is a zillion times more visually appealing than any of the homogenous condo monstrosities currently uglifying the landscape.

A fully restored sign would be awesome. Cultured people with personalities understand this. “People don’t want to live in Everywhere, USA,” says David. “When people come to visit, they want to see what makes your city unique. They may go to get their coffee at Starbucks or go to P.F. Chang’s to get ‘Chinese food,’ but they also, if they’re going to be in San Jose, they’ll want to know, ‘Well, what’s San Jose all about?’ And we’ve got a really, really bad marketing problem. Even locals don’t know the history of San Jose.” The dancing pig, however, is known throughout the United States. For as long as Flickr has existed, meaning about 15 years, online photography groups, neon enthusiasts, signage geeks, connoisseurs of high camp, or even just fans of Americana and roadside attractions have captured the sign and included it in their albums. Younger generations are now doing similar things on Instagram. Local and non-local artists have created paintings, watercolors, postcards or other ephemera based on that sign. In San Jose, it provides a sense of place, whereas piles of overpriced apartments for obnoxious tech-industry hipsters and their $18 hamburgers will never provide a sense of place. Now, the point here is not to impede progress or throw a monkey wrench in whatever plans Google might have. It’s just that with San Jose’s penchant for slaughtering its own history while pandering to brocoder schmoes and their bland tastes, it’s more than logical to fight for what little interesting ideas might still be possible around here. “At minimum, we could have a neon courtyard downtown,” David says. “And it could be a tourist attraction, a destination for selfies, something to connect people to the community. And a big corporation like Google should pay for it.” For the time being, PAC*SJ is still raising money, much of which is trickling in from everyday folk, young and old, throughout the city. It’s a grassroots effort of the highest order. This is not a complex issue. Everyone loves the dancing pig sign. “The only negative feedback I ever received about that sign was some vegan that was offended by it,” David says. To donate: preservation.org

N A TUESDAY afternoon Allen Korenstein is rushing from one office to another. Earlier that morning, he had been navigating the emotional labyrinth of foster care, handling five cases in his role as a juvenile law attorney. Half an hour after leaving the courthouse, he’s on the other side of downtown, at the Camino Brewing taproom, which he and his partner recently opened on South First Street.

“I practice a very intense kind of law in the mornings, and then shift my gears and put my brewery hat on in the afternoons,” he says, on the way to Camino. After handling the affairs of some of San Jose’s most at-risk youth, Korenstein is now handling the plans for the brewery’s Summer Jubilee, a joint event with Sam’s BBQ, which will celebrate “BBQ, brews and blues,” as well as the release of Camino’s new IPA variety pack. The event is slated

to kick off this Saturday at noon. Though they only opened their doors in April, Camino is already an important part of the growing craft beer scene in San Jose. Located just south of 280 at 718 S. First St., it is the second point of a 2 1/2 -mile taproom trail, which begins at Uproar Brewing Company to the north, runs down to Clandestine Brewing just a few blocks to the south of Camino, and continues on to Santa Clara Valley Brewing, Hermitage and Strike. And that doesn’t

even count Hapa’s in Midtown, Lazy Duck up north or Floodcraft on The Alameda. All this is to say, craft beer has arrived in San Jose. This January, in an article titled “Craft Beer Is the Strangest, Happiest Economic Story in America,” The Atlantic observed that while nearly every other industry in this country is solidifying into massive corporate monopolies, beer is undergoing a refreshing moment of hyper-locality. Once, South Bay beer fans had to

drive to San Francisco or Santa Cruz to get a taste of some local flavor. But now, a wide array of talented brewers are determined to make the South Bay a major player in the industry. “You have to really like making beer, because it’s not a short process,” says Liz Scandizzo, one of Clandestine’s owners and brewers. “You can’t just make the beer; you have to work toward how to find it. Some beer, it’s pretty easy to get going the way you want pretty quickly, and then others its fine tuning.” Finding a winning recipe isn’t just about flavor. For local brewers, it’s about establishing an identity in a field with a sudden influx of

competition. At Clandestine, the name of the game is variety. Despite only being open a few years, the brewery’s full beer list adds up to more than 160. “We have so many kinds of beers. That’s a thing that we take pride in,” Scandizzo says. “Our average size is two barrels. We do three, up to four. Sometimes we do small, one-barrel batches. Any given weekend, beers are coming off and new beers are coming on.” Like many of their neighbors in the brewing scene, Clandestine began as a homebrew operation before eventually turning into a full-scale business. While giants like Apple, Google and Facebook now dominate the tech industry in Silicon Valley, it would seem that the truly scrappy startups—the small companies with the garage-band grit—aren’t building disruptive apps; they’re brewing hazy IPAs, Kölsches and kettle sours. With breweries opening in Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and Redwood City, the dynamic is beginning to favor the local over the multinational, and physical grains over digital bytes. Often, this bears out in a more collaborative spirit than Silicon Valley’s notably libertarian bent. Among the beer makers of the South Bay, there is a refreshing air of cooperation. At Strike, head brewer Ryan Bridge is putting the finishing touches on a new beer that the company is releasing as a joint effort with Hermitage. “They’re just up the road,” Bridge says of his neighbors, adding that Hermitage has often helped Strike when the company is in need of

hops or grains. “We’re always talking about recipes and helping each other as much as we can.” The new beer is a hoppy lager made with grains sourced from a small malt farm in Washington. “It’s a clean lager base, and we threw a whole bunch of hops in it right at the end. So it’s gonna be a hybrid of a Pilsner-IPA style. I’m really excited about it.” But this collaboration is only the tip of the iceberg for a group of brewers who feel that San Jose’s time has finally come. Smack dab in the middle of downtown is Uproar, a brewery whose rocky beginnings bely their involvement in the local scene. “We waited quite some time for our grand opening. Even though we opened on June 14, 2017, we weren’t fully permitted to brew,” ” says Jason Gallego, adding that Uproar was criticized for being “a brewery that didn’t have many of our own beers on tap.” After finally getting all the necessary permits, Uproar quickly began moving operations in-house, and now fills their taps with around 15 of their own brews. “It was rough in the beginning, but it was worth it.” More importantly, Uproar is one of many breweries trying to unite the local scene, as well as turn Silicon Valley Beer Week into something that more accurately represents San Jose. “The beer walks that we have in San Jose, most of the breweries there aren’t even from San Jose. They’re from all throughout California, all the way up to Washington. That’s not local,” Gallego says. The idea behind Beer Week was always to celebrate local creators over larger businesses. With the explosion of small taprooms that has swept the South Bay, the area finally has a beer scene representative of the area’s diversity. And in San Jose, with nine full-time breweries pumping out beer, attending festivals and winning awards, the city is absolutely having its moment. So be sure grab a drink, because things are about to get interesting.

How I learned to stop worrying about IBUs and love the juicy IPA BY NICK VERONIN

FEW YEARS ago, in our 2015 Silicon Valley Beer Week issue, I declared that the craft beer scene had jumped the shark and reached peak IPA. At the time I was so over the heavy, ultrahoppy and highly alcoholic style of brew known as India pale ale.

It seemed to me that craft brewers were leaning way too hard on

hopsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the bitter, pine cone-shaped flower that is added to beer in order to balance out the sweetness of the grain. IPAs in particular are known for having a high hop content, which contributes to their above average scores on the IBU (international bittering units) scale. Back in 2015, it felt like just about every artisan beer maker was dialing up bitterness, and I longed for a simpler, lighter, smoother brew. I got into California Lager by Anchor Brewing

19 a region known as the Yakima Valley. These hop varietals—such as Citra, Simcoe and El Dorado—are known for their fruit-forward qualities. As it happens, low-flocculating yeast tend to produce esters—or aromatic qualities—reminiscent of stone fruits. These esters pair well with the fruit-forward hops. Combine all of these factors together—the trapped yeast and their juicy esters, the fruit-forward hops and the protein-packed malts—and you get a beer that zings the taste buds without overpowering them. These beers have a hint of fruit that tastes natural, unlike the in-your-face overtones of a beer like Pyramid’s Apricot Ale.

And, thanks to the higher protein content, they have a softer mouth feel than many other IPAs. Camino’s Northeast by S. 1st scores a 41 on the IBU scale. Compare that to Lagunitas IPA’s 51.5, Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA’s 65 or Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin’s 70. But look at me. I’ve gone full beer nerd on you. Long story short, all of this is to say that the summer’s beer du jour is complex yet easy to appreciate, higher in alcohol content than your average, domestic corn beer—without an overly hoppy, uber-bitter bite—and, overall, immensely drinkable (erm… sessionable, I mean). Perhaps that’s all Cawthorne was searching for all along. “I hope that more brewers will scale back the hops and focus on extracting as much flavor from the hops as possible,” he told me back in 2015. It would seem his hoppy hopes have been realized.

and the Nooner pilsner by Sierra Nevada. Along the way, I found others who shared my aversion to acrid ales. “The over-hopping of India pale ales is really just an American thing of ‘bigger is better,’” Dustin Cawthorne, manager of Jane’s Beer Store in Mountain View, told me three years ago, noting that many smaller brewers were working on craft pilsners and lagers in response to the glut of IPAs. Since 2015, the industry has evolved—and so has my thinking. I’m back on the IPA bandwagon, but not because I’ve discovered a newfound love of over-hopped brew. I give all the credit to the hazy IPA. You may know it as a Northeast-style IPA, a New England IPA, a juicy IPA or a tropical IPA. They’re cloudy, less bitter and often possess fruity overtones, and it seems like every craft brewery has a their own take on the hazy. Over at Camino Brewing, one of the newest local brewers to open a taproom in downtown San Jose, they have the Northeast by S. 1st. It comes out of the tap a cloudy golden amber, giving off an orange effervescence. However, unlike other orange-tinged brews—like the wheaty German-style hefeweizen—Camino’s hazy is balanced by a palpable punch of hoppy tang. Elliot Hoffman, a brewer and manager at Camino, explains the science behind the Northeast by S. 1st, and other hazy, tropical, juicy or Northeast-style IPAs. “For a really long time brewers have been trying to minimize the haze in their beer,” he says. Much of the cloudy material you see in this type of brew is yeast that has not flocculated, or clumped together and dropped out of the solution. In a Northeast-style IPA, brewers intentionally work to keep much of that yeast in the final product. Northeast-style IPAs get their name from the region in which they originated—New England—Hoffman explains, noting that brewers in this region began to favor low-flocculating strains of yeast while simultaneously using higher-protein malts, which works to trap the yeast in. “We make a maze that’s hard for the yeast to get out,” Hoffman says. Interestingly, many of the types of hops deployed in Northeast-style IPA are grown in the Pacific Northwest, in

The Can Van, the brainchild of friends and business partners Jenn Coyle and Lindsey Herrema, is in actuality a trailer and not a van, yet it serves the same purpose: As the first-ever mobile canning service for craft breweries, the Can Van brings professional canning equipment and expertise to small-scale brewers from Santa Cruz up to Redding and everywhere in between. Coyle and Herrema originally founded their company in 2011 to fill a niche and solve a personal problem in the beer scene: Their favorite craft IPAs and ales were rarely available in cans, which made them inconvenient

to carry on long backpacking or camping trips. “Being outdoorsy types who like to hike and camp, part of our reasoning for the Can Van was purely selfish,” explains Herrema, the company’s COO. “We wanted craft beer available for us to take on adventures without having to worry about carrying heavy bottles with us.” Equally inspired by the mobile wine bottling industry, which has served the Napa and Sonoma Valley regions for decades, Herrema and Coyle took their concept to the road. They now operate six canning lines that zoom up and down Northern California every week, hopping from one brewery to the next canning not only beer but also wine, cider and cocktails. Since its inception, the Can Van has processed tens of millions of cans for small and large breweries, including Santa Clara Valley Brewing, Hermitage Brewing, Hapa’s Brewing and New World Ales in San Jose. The process is quite simple: the Can Van pulls up to any given facility, rolls out portable equipment and sets

up alongside a brewery’s or winery’s packaging tanks. After setting up, the van processes and packages beers, leaving customers with pallets of finished product. “Taking from the concept of collaborative consumption, we use our couple of pieces of equipment and share them among all the breweries to better utilize resources,” Herrema says. “This way, breweries don’t have to purchase their own equipment and can focus on the brewing instead.” As it turns out, canning beer also increases the chances for smaller breweries or limited-run beers to make it to store shelves and gain recognition, all the while maintaining the beer’s quality, taste and overall shelf life. “Cans are ideal because they’re totally enclosed and sealed, light can’t get in, and oxygen is kept out,” Herrema explains. “They’re ideal because they keep beer tasting the way it was intended to taste.”

STRANGE BREW Nicholas Impellitteri is a self-described ‘yeast wrangler’ who provides local brewers with boutique strains of yeast.

Organic Growth The Yeast Bay brings culture to the South Bay craft beer scene BY AVI SALEM

HEN NICHOLAS Impellitteri gets home, he’s often greeted by a package of beer waiting for him on his doorstep. This continual supply of craft lagers, pilsners, ales and saisons is thanks, in part, to his obsession with yeast.

The self-described “chief yeast wrangler” is the founder and lead scientist behind the Yeast Bay, an East Bay-based business that provides commercially unavailable and rare yeast strains to the home brewing and commercial beer-making community. As one of the most crucial ingredients in determining a beer’s flavor profile, mouthfeel and overall drinkability, Impellitteri explains that just one strain of yeast

‘What I focus on is isolating and creating new yeast, which is a niche market’ can produce dozens of different flavors, depending on the brewing process. Even as a yeast expert, he’s continually surprised by the flexibility of the fungus. “I get to taste 10 beers from 10 different brewers who all used the same culture, but whose beers all came out differently,” he says. “That they can artfully coax different character out of the same yeast is pretty awesome.” Back in 2011, unexcited by the range of yeast available to home brewers, Impellitteri began experimenting with his own blends of yeast, which he often sourced from lambic-style beers. He noticed a demand for his creations after posting about his experiments on social media and decided to make a business out of his unique hobby. “While a lot of other companies

Labs for production. Impellitteri says this allows for him to focus mainly on the research and development of new strains, while quality control stays in the hands of an established manufacturing company. The Yeast Bay currently sells 35 varieties of brewer’s yeast, wild yeast, bacteria and experimental beta cultures to roughly 300 homebrewers and 100 commercial breweries on a rolling basis, a customer base that’s steadily growing every month. Impellitteri notes that he’s even seen a handful of homebrewers, who began using his products as hobbyists, turn their beers into full-scale production. “It’s been cool to be part of that growth and a real honor that people come to us to get their organisms,” he explains. “Yeast is one of the biggest deciding factors on how a beer is going to taste, and it can make or break a beer. The fact that they put so much faith in us is flattering.”

After creating flavor profiles for each brew, the Yeast Bay outsources its creations to a largescale manufacturer called White

BAR FLY

GHOST IN THE KARAOKE MACHINE Bars like the Red Stag are fast disappearing in Silicon Valley, so belly up and sing a tune.

Song & Stag The Red Stag is a great place to sing your heart out and bear your soul BY TOMEK MACKOWIAK

HE SUMMER WEATHER finally arrived. My clock radio began playing at the appointed time to let me know I was supposed to begin the day. It was an overwhelmingly pleasant feeling to drift out of sleep and into my preferred semiconscious state at exactly noon.

The tiny speaker blared “Paralyzed” by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy. The rattle of the time-weathered device sounded sweet and raspy, like an overripe peach that you may pick up in an orchard. A soft and delicate juiciness perfectly punctuated by the grit of sand grinding on the molars. The day had

started perfectly. I was overcome with a powerful urge to sing to strangers—a desire that must be fulfilled lest it develops into a less savory thirst. I checked the mailbox to see if any business opportunities had arrived. Mr. Harada and I head a Silicon Valley startup where we mail an invitation to invest $5 to a list we purchased. Those who take advantage of our offer receive a list of their own to send to, and a CDROM with the entire internet on it. Some goodies did arrive. As I thumbed through the tantalizing images in the Talbots catalogue (how do they get away with sending this stuff in the mail?) I soaked in the sunshine and my morning Irish coffee. I gazed upon the golden yellow of my lawn and took stock of my stable of rare and expensive

cars, boats and motorcycle. The old BMW R60 looked especially pleasant, so I decided to celebrate the day with a motorcycle ride to one of my favorite bars that feature good cheer and a legendary karaoke sesh: The Red Stag. I had not fired up the old bike in quite a long time, probably around six months. I slipped into my riding gear: an old open-faced football helmet spray-painted black, a Sovietera Czechoslovakian leather trench coat, a pair of black Levis and engineer boots. The bike’s tank was dry, so I siphoned some gas out of my twostroke outboard, poured in two shots of Slivovitz for good measure and pushed the beast down the hill. The battery was also dead. A winter of neglect can do this to a motorcycle. The old R60 made its way down the hill, the stagnant grease coming to life, the surface rust starting to shake free. I put the bike in second and released the clutch. It gurgled from its tailpipes like a drowning victim coming to life. I could feel the pistons desperately grinding against the dry cylinders as the oil pump diligently rushed lubrication toward them. The glass gasoline filters began filling, lights began to flicker, I pulled

back the throttle, a sound like a gunshot rattled the street, the old bike jumped like a bucking stallion, then died again. There was only 50 feet of hill left. Then one cylinder came on. I didn’t bother to stop at the sign. I made the right toward my destination. Somewhere around Minor Ave, the other cylinder fired up. The old thing was no longer gurgling. It was growling with pleasure. I flew up the San Carlos overpass toward the Red Stag. As I neared the old strip mall where the Red Stag is located, I spotted a familiar 1950s Hudson making a right into the parking lot. I followed the Hudson to a spot in front of the Red Stag. Mr. Harada emerged from the passenger side of the Hudson, and an old friend came out of the driver’s. I shook hands with both and invited them in; first round was on me. The Red Stag is a neighborhood bar. It belongs to a different time. It’s long and rectangular. Its purpose is to serve drinks and neighborhood conversations. It’s a place designed to dovetail into a different era. It’s meant for fruit-cannery workers. It’s meant to provide a respite from a long day of work. It’s absolutely perfect for that purpose, but in today’s workflow, it’s called a dive bar. It’s like an old dog barking at the ghosts. Like on old tractor that can still work, but doesn’t have replacement parts available. The Red Stag is a great place to have a drink with friends. Make no mistake: These places will disappear soon. Your dearest friends may disappear soon as well, so make sure to drop in and spend some time. We drank well cocktails that night. They were well worth the price. The Red Stag offers more exclusive drinks, and most will want to take advantage of the good pricing and excellent service, but that night we just wanted things to be like they were some time ago. Some drinking establishments promise you the most current trends, some of them promise you the future, but the Red Stag is a look back. It’s comfortable, friendly, affordable, sincere and increasingly rare. It also has a deceptively humble karaoke setup. I belted out Johnny Cash’s “John Henry,” and was followed by Mr. Harada’s take on the instrumental version of “The Sound of Silence.” There was much merriment in the bar that night.

THIS IS NOT A BANANA In this 2006 illustration by Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, a banana is more than a fruit—it also contains a sword and a dove.

New Alphabet

Cantor Arts highlights the work of African painter Frédéric Bruly Bouabré BY NICK VERONIN

HE IVORIAN PAINTER Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, who died in 2014, is the subject of a new exhibit at the Cantor Arts Center. Curated by Amanda Maples, Alphabété: The World Through the Eyes of Frédéric Bruly Bouabré presents a wide-ranging series of his colored pencil drawings.

There’s a yellow banana on a pink background, the gray body of a snail emerging from a striped orange and brown shell and various portraits. All of the images are centered, or off-center, in a thin blue frame that the artist has drawn.

And, around that frame, Bouabré writes lengthy, poetic titles like the one he came up with for the banana, Une banana jaunie offrant une divine peinture, ici, “l’épée” joue le role d’un prince sacré favorable à une douce union (A yellowed banana offering a divine painting, here, “the sword” plays the role of a sacred prince favorable to a sweet union), 2006. The inky words creep around the edges of the frame, telling us, in Bouabré’s case, that a banana is not just a banana. It also contains a sword and what may be a dove. Maples introduces us to the work by writing, “When viewing Bouabré’s work, one may be tempted to see primeval drawings uncontaminated by Western art, made by a naive,

untrained, ‘outsider’ artist.” During a recent phone interview, Maples, whose curatorial fellowship for African and Indigenous American art at Stanford recently ended, explains her defense of Bouabré and African art in general: “In some of the gallery talks I've given, or the people I've talked with in galleries, they've looked at some of the African art, or even in classrooms, and said, ‘That's not good. That's not a trained artist,’” she says. “That misses the point. He's [Bouabré’s] intentionally drawing things in a simplistic manner so that the work can translate to anyone in the world.” Maples, who has been in the field for 15 years, recently accepted a position as curator of African Art at the North Carolina Museum of Art. She has often encountered art historians who contend that African art is derivative of Western art. Maples observes that “any time an African picks up a paintbrush or something that is a Western medium, it's not inventive and creative from an African or a visionary standpoint.” She believes that’s wrong-headed and a problem in the field. Maples notes that, “African art only started

getting recognized, particularly contemporary African art, in the last decade, if that.” As for Bouabré’s entry into the contemporary African art world, he had a career in the French government as a civil servant before having a spiritual vision in 1948—that’s when he devoted his life to making art. “He quit his job and quit doing anything except for being an artist,” Maples says. “Part of his practice was voraciously learning about the world. He wanted to read everything, to build this encyclopedic knowledge of the world.” We get to see the man himself at the museum in video excerpts from Frédéric Bruly Bouabré: The Universalist, a short documentary about the artist by Andres Alvarez. An elderly Bouabré walks the city streets, collecting material to work with and dispensing wisdom like a wandering sage. He talks about his diverse interests, such as an early love of Victor Hugo, but African myths inform the work we see him drawing at the end of his life. There's a man with eyes all over his body, and a yellow sun showering rain/ sperm on the belly of a pregnant planet Earth. The narrator asks him, “Rain is when the sun and the earth make love?” Bouabré replies, “When it rains, many things spring forth from the earth: children, trees, animals and so on.” In another short film—Bruly Bouabré’s Alphabet by Nurith Aviv— people demonstrate entries from the 448-letter alphabet he based on the oral tradition of his people, the Bété. The participants pick up one of his colorful pictograms, with a picture of a lizard or an arrow, and then pronounce the syllable that's associated with it and written on the drawing. “Bouabré was interested in highlighting oral history as a valid and rich way of translating and transcribing the world,” Maples explains. “He wanted to make those pictographs to visualize the history of those oral words. He's not trying to replace it. His work is just thought of as complementary.”

SILICON VALLEY’S ULTIMATE BEER-LOVERS EVENT KICKS OFF FRIDAY Silicon Valley Beer Week raises a pint to the local craft brew scene, which seems to be growing as fast as cryptocurrency and AI around here these days. The festivities begin at the free opening night party at Forager in downtown San Jose’s SoFA District. It kicks off at 6pm on Friday, July 20, and the music starts at 8pm. Local brews, food pairings and beer conversation will abound. After that, a week of sudsy sumptuousness with 150 beer events over the course of ten days will wash across the valley. Sours, hazy IPAs, Kölsches and others—many of them brewed right here in the South Bay—will flow from taps, including ones at new taprooms that have opened their doors over the past year. Silicon Valley’s vibrant craft brew culture continues to mature and expand. Invite friends and share the schedule, in this issue and online at svbeerweek.com.

metroactive FILM

The Town ‘Blindspotting’ continues summer trend of highlighting inequality in Oakland BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

FTER BOOTS RILEY’S phantasmagoric film Sorry to Bother You opened earlier this month, the spotlight shines on Oakland for a second time. Oakland natives Rafael Casal (as Miles) and Daveed Diggs (as Collin) co-star in Blindspotting, Carlos López Estrada’s feature film debut.

Casal and Diggs also co-wrote the script, a buddy movie that fictionalizes the details of their lifelong friendship and pays homage to their real-life hometown. But the city that Miles and

Collin grew up in is changing. From their perspective, Oakland’s gentrifying into an unrecognizable playground for gangs of mostly white, twentysomething techies with seemingly unlimited disposable income. They’re buying up and refurbishing formerly black-owned properties while drinking expensive macchiatos and $10 bottles of green juice. Miles and Collin work for a moving company, driving a truck together around town, loading and unloading boxes. The only other job we see Collin having was in a flashback as a bouncer in a club. They don’t have access— either by choice or lack thereof—to the economic boom that’s reshaping the city, and they don’t like what they see.

Collin has recently been released from jail, though we don’t learn of his crime until deep into the story. When the film opens, he’s living in a halfway house, and his one-year term of probation frames both ends of the movie. Reverting to old, bad habits isn’t just a temptation for him; it’s built into the DNA of his friendship with Miles. The crucial difference between them is, as his ex-girlfriend Val (Janina Gavankar) points out, Miles is white and Collin is black. The film’s break-out performance belongs to Cascal. Miles’ emotions carry an electric charge that he can’t control, and he pairs them with highvoltage turns of phrase. One minute he’s volatile, enraged, frenetically honking the truck’s horn at a guy unloading groceries; the next he’s tender and funny with his girlfriend and their son. His complementary opposite is the more recessive Collin. As the voice of reason and de facto conscience, it’s Val again who has to remind Collin that when Miles incites him to misbehave, the police aren’t going to arrest the white guy

BLINDSPOTTING Opens Jul 20

HOMIES In ‘Blindspotting’ the racial and economic divide tearing at the fabric of Oakland is explored through the friendship between a white man and a black man.

first. Miles gets an adrenaline rush from confrontation. He takes any opportunity he can get to express his personal dissatisfactions and general outrage by punching someone in the jaw. Diggs gives Collin a restless spirit, but he’s so caught up in Miles’ charisma that he doesn’t seem to function without his best friend’s magnetic energy pulling him forward, sideways or astray. Collin’s life is complicated when he witnesses a white cop gun down a black man. He can’t report what he’s seen because he was out past the halfway house curfew. He’s haunted by guilt for not being able to come forward but he’s also traumatized by the experience. As a black man, he understands that it could have just as easily been him. That particular tension gets underlined in every scene in which Miles and Collin appear together in public. When Miles confronts a wealthy millennial at a mellow house party, he doesn’t go after him for an imagined slight. He’s angry that the people of Oakland, their culture and way of life are in the process of being displaced. Collin may read him the riot act for behaving like a maniac, but Miles suffers no consequences for beating an innocent, if annoying, man to a bloody pulp. If Blindspotting isn’t condoning his behavior, it certainly doesn’t suggest that Miles needs to find redemption or change his behavior. It’s one of many conflicting messages in the movie. Collin, too, is involved in a bar fight with yet another mustachioed white bro—that’s what sent him to prison. Is the beating that Miles gets away with then compensatory for the one Collin has to do jail time for? Or is it meant to emphasize the fact that white men in America get away with things that black men are routinely imprisoned and punished for? In either case, the film suggests that using violence against murderous cops and rich guys in skinny jeans isn’t the best way of defending what remains of their diminishing territory.

Wed, 5:15pm & 7:30pm, $10 3Below Theaters, San Jose Ten years before people knew the wrath of Regina George—leader of the fearsome “Plastics” in Mean Girls—there were Doc Martens, Scrunchies, plaid mini-skirts and, of course, Cheryl Horowitz. Part of 3Below’s series of After School Specials, this 1995 rom-com and coming-of-age tale is based on Jane Austen’s Emma and stars Alicia Silverstone as Cher, the most popular girl in school. Over the course of her hour-and-a-half arc, Cher first rides high before she brought low, discovering that the power she wields at Bronson Alcott High School does not extend into the real world. The film runs through Aug. 1. Also in the 3Below series: The Breakfast Club, The Goonies and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. (KL)

MR. HARADA: NEW WORKS Fri, 7pm, Free Local Color, San Jose Life is not like a Thomas Kinkade painting. The universe is vast, cold and indifferent. But that doesn’t stop Mr. Harada from seeking out the beauty within a turbulent sea of bummers. This San Jose visual artist (and Metro contributor) deploys sarcasm, nihilism and good, old-fashioned brutal honesty to get to the pith of the human experience. Some of his recurring characters recall Max from Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, while others are grotesque caricatures of drunks, lowlifes and the perpetually down-and-out— plus the occasional creepy clown. His latest solo show is titled “Still Trying to Figure it Out.” (KL)

WE THE PEOPLE Fri, 6pm Free Montalvo Arts Center, Saratoga Part of Montalvo’s continuing Art on the Grounds program, “We the People” aims to nurture a sense of global unity through art, music and literature. Attendees are asked to consider concepts of community and togetherness as they take in compositions by the likes of musical artist Hans Tammen and award-winning poet Willie Perdomo. There will also be time to explore the work of Lucas Artist Fellows Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Marilé Dardot and Howard Hersh. Finally, guests have a chance to contribute directly by helping to crowdsource a new global constitution. (KL)

THE CAST OF In the Heights, now playing at City Lights Theater Company, would do well to check their headsets before curtain. Last weekend’s opening night performance was marred by numbers in which it seemed some singers’ mics were turned up to 11 while others were on mute. This was especially unfortunate because Lin-Manuel Miranda’s lyrics drive the plot as much as Quiara Alegria Hudes’ dialogue does. A lot of songs are structured as conversations between characters, and a lot of those conversations came across as one-sided. The sound issues were even more vexing since City Lights’ cast features some stellar voices. Cristina Hernandez is formidable as Nina, who has managed to break out of the barrio in Manhattan’s Washington Heights to study at Stanford. As Nina’s boyfriend Benny, Robbie Reign also has great vocal chops. But during their duets, Reign’s singing was subsumed by Hernandez’s. As a counterpoint, David Leon and Marsha Dimalanta are solid as Nina’s parents. Their solos—Leon’s “Inutil/Useless” and Dimalanta’s “Enough”—powerfully reveal their conflicting views on when to hold on to their daughter and when to let go. This more mature insight is likely attributable to Hudes, who wrote the book for In the Heights based on a show Miranda wrote in college. Miranda’s score foreshadows Hamilton: Characters are freestyling one minute and harmonizing the next. In the Heights At City Lights, a trio led by music director Samuel Cisneros ably tackles all the rhythmic change-ups. Thru Aug 19 Frankie Mendoza’s choreography also adeptly City Lights Theater negotiates genres, from salsa to street. While the Company, San Jose City Lights ensemble didn’t have all the moves down cltc.org by opening night, their energy made up for the occasional misstep. Granted, any company that takes on In the Heights has some pretty big shoes to fill. The show’s 2008 Broadway debut won four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It was a Pulitzer Prize finalist ahead of Miranda’s win for Hamilton and Hudes’ for Water by the Spoonful. As Usnavi, the role originated by Miranda on Broadway, Oklys Pimentel arguably wears the biggest shoes. Pimentel, who has played Usnavi twice before, has Miranda’s charismatic sparkle, and he nails the Broadway phenom’s intonation whether speaking or rapping. While Usnavi and Abuela Claudia (Gloria Stanley) serve as the moral center of the action, director Jeffrey Bracco has made sure that City Lights’ production is a true ensemble piece, where no one character’s story is the focus. Instead, In the Heights comes across as a poignant, loving look at a neighborhood on the brink of major change. —Anne Gelhaus

REVIEW

Stuck in the Middle KATE AND ANNA McGarrigle’s song, “I’m Losing You,” contains a great lament. They sing, “But I never told you anything/How to keep or make a friend.” The lyric speaks to that moment when a child starts to establish his or her independence from their parents. Mothers, in the McGarrigle sisters’ case, wonder what skills they’ve equipped their children with to contend with the world at large. The song acknowledges what little control they have over whether people will accept or reject their sons and daughters. In Bo Burnham’s film Eighth Grade, that larger world is junior high school, and it’s an alienating place for Kayla (Elsie Fisher). She lives with her father (Josh Hamilton) in the director’s generic vision of suburbia. We could be in a middle class subdivision anywhere in America, but the colors on screen often shine like photographs in a glossy magazine. The scenery is refracted through the pop-cultured eyes of a teenager. Like most kids in her class, Kayla is fixated on her smartphone and the magical things it can do. With her cellular appendage always in tow, she makes entries in a video diary and takes one carefully composed selfie after another. But Kayla isn’t vain or narcissistic. She suffers from the same Eighth Grade isolation that Aubrey Plaza’s character does in Ingrid Goes West (2017). Both girls are awkward with people 94 Mins; R IRL, so they seek connections online. Jul 27 Late in the film, we find out that her mother left years Aquarius, Palo Alto ago, but Kayla never mentions her in any of her diary Guild, Menlo Park entries. It’s a curious omission for someone so self-reflective. Instead, she makes videos that sound like advice columns for insecure girls. Kayla is playing the part of her missing mom, but she’s too young to sound convincing in the role. She vlogs about having selfconfidence in new situations the night before she attends a birthday party. But at the party, she locks herself in the bathroom, hyperventilating with social anxiety. Elsie Fisher’s performance is an affecting depiction of early adolescent angst, equal to Saoirse Ronan’s in last year’s Lady Bird. Unlike Ronan’s character, Kayla is on her own with only a well-intentioned but hapless father who she repeatedly shies away from. Burnham has constructed a remarkably thoughtful first feature film. He uses Anna Meredith’s electronic soundtrack to great effect. The music expresses Kayla’s inner turmoil and also heightens our anxiety for her. Better than that, the director doesn’t leer at Kayla. The camera captures snippets of Fisher’s consciousness, whether she’s feeling hopeful, bored or fragile. Burnham establishes shots by basing them on the way the character frames herself in front of her cell phone lens. When Kayla does make a friend, she beams her first genuine smile and finally puts her phone down. —Jeffrey Edalatpour

COUNTRY CONNECTION From left to right, Marty Stuart, Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman.

O Pioneers! The Byrds’ seminal ‘Sweetheart of the Rodeo,’ was a trailblazing record BY BILL KOPP

N THE 1960s, the Byrds pioneered folk rock. The chiming electric 12-string guitars on the 1965 singles “Turn! Turn! Turn” and “Mr. Tambourine Man” influenced a generation of musicians. Soon thereafter, the group moved in a more psychedelic and even jazz-influenced direction, exemplified by 1966’s “Eight Miles High.” But thanks to personnel changes and creative restlessness, by 1968 the Byrds

were making music that showcased yet another side of the band: country. The Nashville sessions for Sweetheart of the Rodeo took advantage of that city’s deep well of talent; several top players performed on pedal steel guitar, fiddle, banjo and upright bass. Considered a radical departure from the band’s earlier music, Sweetheart sold poorly on its initial release, reaching only No. 77 on the Billboard 200 chart, and failing to chart at all in England. Arguably the first major countryrock release, Sweetheart of the Rodeo would take on a life of its own, going on to exert momentous influence on

popular music. The country genre, which had previously been largely out of fashion, began to appeal to younger fans. Within a few years, bands like Poco and the Flying Burrito Brothers would pursue the hybrid country-rock style, and in the 1970s the Eagles would craft a slick, highly commercialized version of the genre. Both the popularity and influence of Sweetheart of the Rodeo endure today: In hindsight, the album can be viewed as a forerunner to current-day Americana. And in 2003, Rolling Stone ranked Sweetheart at No. 117 in its list of 500 Greatest Albums. Country star Marty Stuart is one of the countless artists who has drawn inspiration from the Byrds’ 1968 LP. He’s on record praising its groundbreaking synthesis of country, gospel, bluegrass, folk and rock into something distinctive and special. And he’s the owner of a 1954 Fender Telecaster guitar that originally belonged to Clarence White, a featured performer on the ’68 album. So it’s fitting that Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives join founding

Byrds Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman in a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Sweetheart of the Rodeo. The July 29 date at Saratoga’s Mountain Winery is the third stop on a tour that brings the classic album to nearly a dozen cities across America (more dates will be added). Guitarists Hillman, McGuinn and Stuart promise that in addition to playing the album in its entirety, the band will dig into earlier songs from the Byrds catalog—as well as songs from the solo careers of all three musicians. The show, Sweetheart of the Rodeo 50th Anniversary features Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman and Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives.

UKE MASTER Jake Shimabukuro has helped raise the bar among ukulele players with his virtuosic talent.

Island Music HAWAIIAN UKULELE sensation Jake Shimabukuro catapulted to international fame in 2006 when a Youtube video of him performing the George Harrison-penned Beatles tune “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” went viral. By that time, Shimabukuro was already well-known in his native Hawaii and in Japan; by 2006 he had released six albums in the West plus one made specifically for the Japanese market. Since then, Shimabukuro has toured widely and released many more solo albums (13 to date in the U.S., and 10 Japan-only releases). His 14th American release, The Greatest Day, is set for release Aug. 31. While The Greatest Day will find Shimabukuro returning to his signature style of highly melodic, pop-leaning yet virtuosic ukulele playing, his restlessly creative nature has led him in some interesting musical directions. For 2016’s The Nashville Sessions he continued his exploration with amplification and looping effects (begun on 2012’s Alan Parsons-produced Grand Ukulele), and fronting a power trio. The results sometimes sound a bit like Eric Clapton playing with Cream. “Sometimes things work, and sometimes they don’t,” says Shimabukuro. “There are things that I've recorded that at the time I thought were kind of cool, but now when I go back and listen, I’m like, ‘What was I

thinking?’” While The Nashville Sessions earned roundly positive critical response, fans of Shimabukuro’s acoustic work were left a bit confused. “There are always people who tell me, ‘I just love when you play solo with just the natural-sounding ukulele,’” he says. “But there are people who like the fuller sound with the bass and the drums. I love both.” Happily, thanks both to his versatility and his large body of work, onstage Shimabukuro can exercise his Jake Shimabukuro creative muse in a number of ways. “In a live show you can July 20, 7:30pm, cover a lot of ground,” he says. “In $29.50+ our live shows, even though I have Mountain Winery, a trio with me, there’s still a section Saratoga in the show where I just sit there mountainwinery.com and play a solo arrangement.” Shimabukuro says he thrives on variety and challenges. “I’d get bored if I were doing the same thing night after night,” he adds. These days when a melodic idea strikes him—“I could be walking around the mall,” he says—he captures it on his smartphone. Gone are the days when he carries his uke with him everywhere he goes. “I used to,” he admits. “Until I had kids, that thing was always at my side.” —Bill Kopp

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY at you like maybe you are magic.” Whenever that quote appears on the Internet, it’s falsely attributed to painter Frida Kahlo. In fact, it was originally composed by poet Marty McConnell. In any case, I’ll recommend that you heed it in the coming weeks. You really do need to focus on associating with allies who see the mysterious and lyrical best in you. I will also suggest that you get inspired by a line that Frida Kahlo actually wrote: “Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are a bourbon biscuit.” (If you don’t know what a bourbon biscuit is, I'll tell you: chocolate buttercream stuffed between two thin rectangular chocolate biscuits.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Here’s what author

Franz Kafka wrote in his diary on Aug. 2, 1914: “Germany has declared war on Russia. I went swimming in the afternoon.” We could possibly interpret his nonchalance about world events to be a sign of callous self-absorption. But I recommend that you cultivate a similar attitude in the coming weeks. In accordance with astrological omens, you have the right and the need to shelter yourself from the vulgar insanity of politics and the pathological mediocrity of mainstream culture. So feel free to spend extra time focusing on your own well-being. (P.S.: Kafka’s biographer says swimming served this role for him. It enabled him to access deep unconscious reserves of pleasurable power that renewed his spirit.)

enrich and deepen your sensuality. For inspiration, here are some ideas that blend my words with Cardelle’s: “Laugh easily and freely. Tune in to the rhythm of your holy animal body as you walk. Sing songs that remind you why you’re here on Earth. Give yourself the luxury of reading books that thrill your imagination and fill you with fresh questions. Eat food with your fingers. Allow sweet melancholy to snake through you. Listen innocently to people, being warm-hearted and slyly wild. Soak up colors with your eager eyes. Whisper grateful prayers to the sun as you exult in its gifts.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Take a lover who looks

By ROB BREZSNY week of July 18

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “If people aren’t laughing at your goals, your goals are too small.” So says bodybuilder Kai Greene. I don’t know if I would personally make such a brazen declaration, but I do think it’s worth considering—especially for you right now. You’re entering into the Big Bold Vision time of your astrological cycle. It’s a phase when you’ll be wise to boost the intensity of your hopes for yourself, and get closer to knowing the ultimate form of what you want, and be daring enough to imagine the most sublime possible outcomes for your future. If you do all that with the proper chutzpah, some people may indeed laugh at your audacity. That’s OK!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This mini-chapter

in your epic life story is symbolically ruled by the fluttering flights of butterflies, the whirring hum of hummingbird wings, the soft cool light of fireflies and the dawn dances of seahorses. To take maximum advantage of the blessings life will tease you with in the coming weeks, I suggest you align yourself with phenomena like those. You will tend to be alert and receptive in just the right ways if you cultivate a love of fragile marvels, subtle beauty and amazing grace.

Astro

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Am I delusional to advise a perky, talkative Gemini like yourself to enhance your communication skills? How dare I even hint that you’re not quite perfect at a skill you were obviously born to excel at? But that’s exactly what I'm here to convey. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to take inventory of how you could more fully develop your natural ability to exchange information. You’ll be in robust alignment with cosmic rhythms if you take action to refine the way you express your own messages and receive and respond to other people’s messages. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Self-described skeptics

sometimes say to me, “How can any intelligent person believe in astrology? You must be suffering from a brain dysfunction if you imagine that the movements of planets can reveal any useful clues about our lives.” If the “skeptic” is truly open-minded, as an authentic skeptic should be, I offer a minilecture to correct his misunderstandings. If he’s not (which is usually the case), I say that I don't need to “believe” in astrology; I use astrology because it works. For instance, I have a working hypothesis that Cancerians like myself enjoy better-than-average insight and luck with money every year from late July through the month of August. It’s irrelevant whether there's a “scientific” theory to explain why this might be. I simply undertake efforts to improve my financial situation at this time, and I’m often successful.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Here are some of the fine gifts

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I swear the

astrological omens are telling me to tell you that you have license to make the following requests: 1. People from your past who say they’d like to be part of your future have to prove their earnestness by forgiving your debts to them and asking your forgiveness for their debts to you. 2. People who are pushing for you to be influenced by them must agree to be influenced by you. 3. People who want to deepen their collaborations with you must promise to deepen their commitment to wrestling with their own darkness. 4. People who say they care for you must prove their love in a small but meaningful way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will never find an

advertisement for Nike or Apple within the sacred vessel of this horoscope column. But you may come across plugs for soul-nourishing commodities like creative freedom, psychosexual bliss and playful generosity. Like everyone else, I’m a salesperson— although I believe that the wares I peddle are unambiguously good for you. In this spirit, I invite you to hone your own sales pitch. It’s an excellent time to interest people in the fine products and ideas and services that you have to offer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Would you do me a

you’re eligible for and even likely to receive during the next four weeks: a more constructive and fluid relationship with obsession; a panoramic look at what lies below the tip of the metaphorical iceberg; a tearjerking joyride that cracks open your sleeping sense of wonder; erasure of at least 20 percent of your self-doubt; vivid demonstrations of the excitement available from slowing down and taking your sweet time; and a surprising and useful truth delivered to your soul by your body.

favor, please? Would you do your friends and loved ones and the whole world a favor? Don’t pretend you’re less powerful and beautiful than you are. Don’t downplay or neglect the magic you have at your disposal. Don’t act as if your unique genius is nothing special. OK? Are you willing to grant us these small indulgences? Your specific talents, perspectives and gifts are indispensable right now. The rest of us need you to be bold and brazen about expressing them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): During the last three

months of 2018, I suspect you will dismantle or outgrow a foundation. Why? So as to prepare the way for building or finding a new foundation in 2019. From next January onward, I predict you will reimagine the meaning of home. You’ll grow fresh roots and come to novel conclusions about the influences that enable you to feel secure and stable. The reason I’m revealing these clues ahead of time is because now is a good time to get a foreshadowing of how to proceed. You can glean insights on where to begin your work.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A reader asked Libran blogger Ana-Sofia Cardelle, “How does one become more sensual?” I’ll ask you to meditate on the same question. Why? Because it’s a good time to

The Petition for Probate requests that the Public Administrator of the County of Santa Clara be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal 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 objection 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 on September 14, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. in Department 12 at the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara located at 191 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95113. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor 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 representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable 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 appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

POT SHOTS

SUMMER DAZE The ‘420 of summer’ is all about dabbing.

Dab Step

TONERS REVELLED again last week in their freedom to light up with a post-Fourth of July holiday dedicated to getting high. Also called “the 420 of summer,” 710 is the counterpart to the classic marijuana holiday known as 420, but is instead celebrated, as you’d imagine, on July 10. Although another pot fiesta seems redundant, 710 isn’t about celebrating the actual marijuana plant. It’s a day devoted to dabbing, a newer way to smoke cannabis concentrates—like butane hash oil—and get ridiculously blazed (hence the name 710, which spells “oil” upside down). But instead of sucking up vapor from an electric stovetop with a plastic straw like hot-knifing in the old days, dabbing involves more sophisticated equipment, like special bong attachments and other accessories to help users take massive hits of wax, shatter, budder or butane hash oil that contain up to 90 percent THC. There’s been an explosion over the past decade in new products stemming from the latest creative way to get baked. “It’s got its own kind of culture that blends with it,” says Brendan Perry, founder of Dabblicious, a concentrates label sold in some San Jose dispensaries. Dabbing first took off on the West Coast when it developed a niche following at glass blowing exhibits. “Up to 2009, 2010, the primary focus was glass, primarily flower-based glass” marijuana smoking pipes, Perry says. “That was when the glass scene shifted, because the oil scene really started to flourish.” While 420 bloomed from an underground subculture that historically tried to stay on the downlow, 710 was born sometime around 2010 on the very public internet. The term 710 was first used on social media and eventually embraced by the hip-hop community. Dabbing got a bad rap in its early days thanks to some controversial production techniques. Newer, safer refining processes have made dabbing hot in the Bay Area these days. “Flowers are definitely the most popular and in demand, but second to that are concentrates,” Marc Matulich, founder of Airfield Supply Company, says. Dabbing can be intense even for canna-sseurs. Complicated dabbing paraphernalia like blow torches and carb caps, plus dealing with scorching metal surfaces, will likely always give old-fashioned bud the top spot in any stash box. “What the general population really wants is just a joint,” Perry says. “Extracts will always be … something to enjoy, but I don't think it'll ever get as big as flowers.”—Julia Baum
