8 Movements for Change: Bob Fitch Photo Archive Civil rights activist Bob Fitch went to the South to document the Civil Rights Movement with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. from 1965 to 1968. The result was a seminal body of photographs that captured some of the most moving and important events of the time. Over the next 50 years, Fitch went on to document the work of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers, Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker Movement, the Vietnam War draft-resistance movement and other social justice issues. Fitch has donated his nearly 275,000 images to Stanford Libraries, and this exhibition shows his iconic mid-1960s through the mid-1970s work, including from King’s funeral.

OUR GUIDE TO 10 GREAT LOCAL SPOTS FOR OUTDOOR DINING

A burger and fries at Stein’s.
ith the passing of Labor Day weekend and the start of a new school year, summer is drawing to a close — but chances are, the warm weather plans to stick around, treating the Peninsula to another month of comfortable outdoor dining. Choosing an outside table doesn’t necessitate pedestrians brushing by or the feeling of hugging the restaurant wall either. Here are 10 places to dine outdoors — and off the sidewalk — in Palo Alto, Mountain View and Menlo Park before the weather starts cooling down.

Stein’s Beer Garden immediately proved a popular addition to downtown Mountain View.

Mountain View Stein’s Beer Garden A sea of business shirts and day-tonight attire, Stein’s patio area is packed on Thursday nights from the start of happy hour well into the evening. Long, dark wooden tables offer communal and relaxed-yet-sophisticated dining for small and large groups, while standing tables and open patio space offer plenty of opportunities to mingle at this popular addition to Mountain View’s downtown. 895 Villa St.; 650-963-9568; steins beergarden.com Cascal Savor lively Latin cuisine on Cascal’s large, open patio area, far removed from
any sidewalk bustle. While the patio tables themselves are rather humble, energy from the vibrantly colored dining room — which boasts high stone arches, palm leaves and cool blue glassware — radiates into the outdoor seating area, which is kept even warmer by tall heat lamps. Invite summer to stay longer with the popular house sangria and an array of tapas offerings. Plus, the happy hour is hard to beat: Monday through Friday, 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., with slashed prices on cocktails, draft beers and tapas. Stake out a spot on Fridays and Saturdays to hear live music. 400 Castro St.; 650-940-9500; cascal restaurant.com Agave Mexican Bistro Agave’s outdoor dining area brings Continued on next page

relaxation and California-style Mexican cuisine to one of the busiest corners on Castro Street in downtown Mountain View. Seated in the subtly enclosed back patio, you might forget you’re in the middle of downtown — without feeling closed
in — thanks to neutral walls, bold umbrellas and canopies. A simple wooden bar with string lights transports you to the Cabo beachside, complete with rattan couches and chairs perfect for happy hour or a night out. 194 Castro St.; 650-969-6767; agaveca.com
Palo Alto Terún A star of the Palo Alto dining scene since its opening early last year, Terun features a lively yet humble back patio that compliments the restaurant’s authentic Italian cuisine. White roof covering and white wooden fencing shelter and brighten the
Indo Restaurant & Lounge Don’t be deterred by its unusual location at the front of a motel parking lot. Indo, an Indonesian fusion restaurant with sophisticated dishes and craft cocktails, is the definition of hidden gem. Curved walls of translucent glass squares transport you from the hubbub of Silicon Valley — and the noise of El Camino — to a meditative patio in the South Pacific, adorned with string lights above and sheltered by slender lattices. A trickling waterfall and mellow potted plants make for a refreshing dining experience, while a cushioned lounge area lends a trendy vibe. 3295 El Camino Real; 650-4947168; indorestaurant.com Vino Locale Imagine dining out at a backyard garden party — except no imagination is required here, because Vino Locale operates out
of an updated Victorian home and backyard. The charming Kipling Street spot, a wine bar with food offerings that change daily, offers a unique garden atmosphere with plentiful flowering plants and vine-covered arches. String lights here and there along the wooden fence add a subtle glow to an evening meal or wine tasting, while a large canopy offers shade in the afternoon. Plus, it’s converted into a venue for live music performances every Tuesday night. 431 Kipling St.; 650-328-0450; vinolocale.com Pizzeria Delfina One of four locations of the ever-popular San Francisco-born establishment, Palo Alto’s Delfina brings something new to the table: a large street-facing patio combining traditional brick-andivy with modern openness. In the former Empire Tap Room patio, mature vine coverage on both walls of the patio is enhanced by a high wooden arbor on which young vines continue to climb. The hanging pea pods, winding tendrils and plentiful string lights add a whimsical note. The only thing that keeps the dining area out of enchanted forest territory is the surprisingly powerful heat lamps — jackets optional here.

651 Emerson St.; 650-353-2208; pizzeriadelfina.com/paloalto Joya Restaurant & Lounge Joya opens up its wooden shutters and slides its tall glass doors open to set up an ideal indoor-outdoor dining area at the front corner of the University Avenue restaurant. Chic indoor seating coupled with wide-open airflow creates a modern cabana feel, the perfect complement to Joya’s contemporary Latin cuisine. Natural light enters into the picture as well, filtering through the room’s colored glass accents and reflecting off of mirrored panels to make your tapas that much more trendy. 339 University Ave.; 650-8539800; joyarestaurant.com La Strada Next door to Joya, La Strada
Ristorante Italiano also features an indoor-outdoor dining area. Partitioned from the busy sidewalk, the patio area is outside the front door of the restaurant, yet covered by a ceiling. The sheltered, alcove-like design makes for comfortable dining that feels much like lunch or dinner on the porch and pairs well with La Strada’s authentic Italian dishes. 335 University Ave.; 650-3248300; lastradapaloalto.com Menlo Park Cafe Borrone Cafe Borrone is the perfect place to soak up the sun and unwind next to a large bubbling fountain. It’s a neighborhood as well as regional go-to spot for meeting up with friends, grabbing a quick bite to eat after your workout (athletic clothes welcome) or planting yourself
for hours with a good read from Kepler’s Books next door. Plastic patio chairs and humble metal tables embody Borrone’s friendly, come-as-you-are atmosphere, but the food is no ordinary meal: gourmet breakfast classics, sandwiches, salads and dinner entrees consistently receive rave reviews from locals and tourists alike. Even if you choose an indoor table, the restaurant slides opens the floor-to-ceiling windows, inviting in the fresh air and gentle breeze as you peruse the newspaper or catch up with an old pal. (Psst: For special occasions, head next door to new sister restaurant Borrone MarketBar, where you can slurp down fresh oysters and inventive, quality cocktails in limited outdoor seating.) 1010 El Camino Real; 650-3270830; cafeborrone.com V

DOLPHIN TALE 2 00 (Century 16, Century 20) “Dolphin Tale 2” will no doubt be a delightful experience for animal-loving tots. But for the adults who bring them, it’s pretty much guaranteed to be a surreal experience, due to the at-times bizarrely clunky dramatics and the realization that will hit about twenty minutes in: “Wait — is this a lesbian dolphin dating movie?” Yes. Yes, it is. And I haven’t even gotten to the pelican who lovingly (or perhaps just obsessively) stalks a sea turtle. What will Fox News say about these clear endorsements of “alternative” lifestyles? I kid. “Dolphin Tale 2” retains the bright, sunny tone of its predecessor, also directed by Charles Martin Smith. For the sequel, Smith wrote the screenplay as well, inspired by true events in the life of Florida’s Clearwater Marine Aquarium. “Dolphin Tale” — which, unlike the sequel, screened in 3D — told the uplifting story of Winter, a bottlenose dolphin who loses her tail but gets rescue and rehabilitation from the good folks of Clearwater’s Marine Animal Rescue Team, including Dr. Clay Haskett (Harry Connick Jr.), his precocious daughter Hazel (Cozi Zuehlsdorff), and aspiring marine biologist Sawyer Nelson (Nathan Gamble). In “Dolphin Tale 2,” kids Sawyer and Hazel are teens who start to make goo-goo eyes at each other, but little else has changed: Connick returns, as do Ashley Judd as Sawyer’s mom, Kris Kristofferson as Clay’s dad, and Morgan Freeman as the handy designer of dolphin prosthetics and purveyor of homespun wisdom. This time, the team rescues a dolphin nicknamed Mandy and another named Hope, both of whom are candidates to become Winter’s new longtime companion. This much is apparently essentially true. The rest is all bathos (an unfortunate event prompts the teary line “Why do these things have to happen?”), hooey like the kid-friendly but frankly weird pelican/sea turtle romance, and life lessons so conspicuous that one comes with the apologetic bit of screenwriting: “I’m about to get a lesson, aren’t I?” The message for Sawyer, having to do with embracing change, proves much more relevant to teens making young adult choices than to kids lacking independence, but most teens are too cool for (this) school (of dolphins). If you look very closely, you’ll

be able to see Judd, Freeman and Kristofferson counting the digits in their paychecks as they play their undernourished characters. The sluggish pacing includes demonstrably extraneous scenes and what feels like a five-minute slo-mo montage of swimming with dolphins, while Smith (who also plays the small role of a USDA inspector) sets a new record for cutting in awkward reaction shots, his own included. Product placement further distracts, with none bigger than the film itself, which is of course a giant adver-
tisement for Clearwater. But there’s the rub: the sequel’s (admittedly redundant) endorsement of “recue, rehab, release” work and community outreach to the amputee community (champion surfer Bethany Hamilton has a cameo) prove again that this franchise is just plain nice, and it’s hard to get too cranky about nice. Still, maybe just watch the first film again, and skip the unnecessary sequel. Rated PG for mild thematic elements. One hour, 47 minutes. —Peter Canavese

MARY KOM 00 (Century 16) There’s a reason why audiences keep coming to boxing movies in droves, despite the genre’s generally predictable narratives, stock characters and melodramatic sequences. With few exceptions, boxing movies seem to exist for no higher purpose than to rehash the same old underdog success story that con-
sistently leaves viewers uplifted and satisfied. But the Bollywood sports drama “Mary Kom” exists for an additional reason: To delineate the life of its namesake famous female boxing champion. Mary Kom holds enough world boxing championship titles and influence in the Continued on next page

sport to merit a keen cinematic look at her career’s progression. However, the film botches that opportunity, succumbing instead to the common pitfalls of its genre, and topping it off with an inelegant style of execution. Screenwriter Saiwyn Quadras tries to add nuance to the film’s opening scene by setting it in media res, as Kom goes into labor. That section of the narrative goes almost nowhere thematically, however, and we transition to Kom’s modest upbringing and early forays into fighting. From there, the film becomes a textbook hero’s journey. In order to earn prominence within the international boxing circuit, Kom must overcome her father’s staunch restrictions and expectations. After fulfilling this goal, Kom gives birth to two children and must persevere through public doubt to find her way back to the ring. Priyanka Chopra looks almost nothing like the real-life Kom, but at least she finds a way to play the part persuasively. Her performance showcases Kom’s intensity and commitment to her sport. Unfortunately, “Mary Kom” itself proves far less con-
cal and borderline insensitive. To his credit, director Omung Kumar imbues the fighting sequences with a good degree of energy and electricity. However, those sequences and Chopra’s strong performance prove insufficient in transcending the overarching effort’s deficiencies. Mary Kom’s life didn’t need to be exaggerated to retain its potency on the silver screen. To its detriment, this biopic lacks faith in the intelligence of its audience. It’s worth noting that “Mary Kom” is in Hindi with clumsily arranged English subtitles. The myriad typos do nothing to distract from the film’s larger flaws. Unrated. Two hours, 2 minutes. — Cooper Aspegren
vincing. The film’s efforts to orchestrate tension and pull at the audience members’ heartstrings come off as far more contrived than genuine; we see right through the ubiquitous rousing musical cues. “Mary Kom” tries to engineer a sense of profundity rather than build suspense authentically. More unreasonable, however, is the film’s excessive demand for a suspension of disbelief on the part of the viewer. A certain level of hyperbole is to be expected in this kind of movie, but “Mary Kom” crosses a line when the climactic fight scene is intercut with the heart surgery of one of Kom’s children. It’s a choice that’s chronologically inaccurate, illogi-

Earth, wind and fire: It takes a village By Iris Harrell
O
n a daily basis, I am still awestruck with the beauty and bounty of the world we live in with its deliciously moderate weather year-round, and gorgeous hills beautifully covered with lovely native landscaping and trees for as far as the eye can see. However, with this beauty and bounty often comes a sense of entitlement and a blasÈ attitude about the very thing we need to safeguard most and protect into perpetuity. So, my first commitment is to not forget all of the incredible benefits this piece of earth affords me. My second promise is to ask myself, “What am I doing to insure the longevity of this great surrounding of natural beauty and sacred space?” My local neighborhood is currently focusing on fire safety, since we live in a Wildlife Urban
Interface (WUI) area. I am serving on an ad hoc committee to intelligently assemble a suggested plan of action so we can be safe-guarded from an unexpected wildfire. Besides researching what new practices, materials and policies we should consider, we need to involve the neighborhood landscape, design committee and the town, and work in a concerted effort to achieve a more fire-safe community. However, to make only one neighborhood safe does not protect us sufficiently. All contiguous neighborhoods need to become fully conscious to represent all of our stakes. Maintaining our beauty and bounty requires a collective effort, and here’s the “rub.” It is hard to get timely agreement of strategy and then accurate and efficient implementation, even among a few people, much less an entire neighborhood association or town. This sobering thought points to
the importance of local government making laws for necessary compliance and mutual safety. One would think we’d understand that “time is of the essence,” as we don’t know when a life-threatening fire or earthquake may erupt. And we don’t know when or if this long drought (which severely raises the chance of a wildfire) will end. But those of us who are leading the charge for fire safety also have multiple other critical activities to keep our lives moving forward in conjunction with our family lives and professional lives. So slowly on we trod. Having been involved recently in the repair of a Palo Alto home that was severely burned and damaged, I have also become aware of the emotional and psychological
toll a fire brings to one’s personal life when suddenly your place of solace is uninhabitable. It is a lot to recover from. One of the problems a proactive FireWise committee has is trying to get the neighborhood design and landscape guidelines to become more current with the new weather and land conditions we face in this century, versus when the guidelines and laws were originally written (as in the last century). We are discovering that the aesthetic visual preference for wood “au naturel” on our homes, decks and railings makes residences more like a box of matches waiting for a fire to grab them. Becoming familiar with new products that actually look natural but perform well in a heat or fire situation is one of our missions. Cement-based siding and roof products, metal railings and posts, and privacy and window screens are great alternative choices. Another fire-safe product would be glass skylights instead of plastic. Another challenge for fire safety is keeping plants and trees fur-
ther away from the house (5 feet or more) and trees “limbed up” higher from the ground so the fire ladder effect does not easily make a whole tree start to easily blaze. Even plants in pots that get tall and are close to a wood-shingled house are in danger of bringing a wildfire inside the home more quickly. Exterior lights with halogen lamps near the ground can emit extreme heat. A few dead leaves caught up in a cobweb around the hot bulb could create an inadvertent spark. I bring these concerns to your attention in the hopes that your neighborhood (which is next to mine!) is also actively pursuing proactive safety measures in case of a community crisis from a wildfire or earthquake, and I urge that you will become actively involved. Let us remember that we are all in this together and that any positive action that blesses one, blesses all of us. Iris Harrell is board chairman of Harrell Remodeling, Inc. in Mountain View.
