The Midpeninsula’s best bets for St. Patrick’s Day revelry Story by Avi Salem Photos by Michelle Le
S
t. Patrick’s Day was once celebrated as a religious and cultural feast in memory of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. In the United States, this unofficial holiday has come to be known as the one day a year where it’s socially acceptable to wear green from head to toe and eat and drink in excess, regardless of whether you’re Irish. Whatever your plans are this St. Paddy’s Day, the luck of the Irish is on your side: use this list of places to eat, drink and be merry on the Midpeninsula on March 17, from breweries pouring limited-edition Irish stouts to bakeries stamping out shamrockshaped sweets.

FRANK MASI/PARAMOUNT PICTURE
Tina Fey stars as a fictionalized version of reporter Kim Barker, who spent three years embedded in Afghanistan, in “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.”
‘Ma’am’ to the slaughter ‘WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT’ WORKS AS FEMINIST WAR DRAMEDY 000 (Century 16 & 20 ) The first thing to say about “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” is “Good on you, Tina Fey.” Because this feminist war dramedy — destined to open at fourth place in box-office receipts — is a vanity project done right. Taking her cachet and cashing it in on worthy but uncommercial material, enlisting her “30 Rock” and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” partner Robert Carlock to write the script, and shepherding the project as producer (along with Ian Bryce and her old boss Lorne Michaels), Fey allows the buck to stop at her. Carlock’s smart adaptation of Kim Barker’s memoir “The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan” gives directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (“Crazy, Stupid, Love”) a strong basis for character-based comedy with a dramatic kick. Fey plays a fictionalized version of print journalist Barker: TV journalist Kim Baker. Baker has wearied of writing news copy “for dumb, pretty people to read,” so a chance to embed in Afghanistan in 2003 piques her interest, and before she knows it, a three-month stint turns into three years.
Q MOVIEREVIEWS
ZOOTOPIA 000
Disney has never used anthropomorphic animals to more socially responsible ends than those of animated feature “Zootopia.” The film concerns the plucky Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin),
Life in Kabul, a.k.a. “the Kabubble,” means dorm-style living amongst friendly-rival reporters and security personnel. Being a woman has its disadvantages (peeing is a challenge where Sharia law reigns and Marines have more important concerns) and its potential advantages (as one of the only Western women around, Kim immediately rates as “a solid Kabul 9.5”). Much of the suspense of “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot,” for better and worse, concerns which colleague Kim will deem worthy of sleeping with her. Egged on by fellow correspondent Tanya Vanderpoel (Margot Robbie), Kim sizes up the men who surround her: her Afghan “fixer” Fahim Ahmadzai (Christopher Abbott of “Girls”), Scottish freelance photographer Iain MacKelpie (Martin Freeman of “Sherlock”), scrawny cameraman “Tall Brian” (Nicholas Braun), brawny bodyguard Nic (Stephen Peacocke). Marine General Hollanek (Billy Bob Thornton) warns her off of his men, but Ali Massoud Sadiq (Alfred Molina), the Attorney General of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, would like little
more than to bed the appalled Kim. As Kim earns respect and otherwise forges relationships with all of the above, she gets the lay of the land, realizing that she’s got 99 problems, but a dude isn’t one. In a manner not too far off from TV’s “M*A*S*H,” “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” locates rueful humor not only from familiar characters under unfamiliar duress (Liz Lemon under fire, let’s say), but from dollops of political and social satire. “WTF” isn’t especially interested in the politics or the people of Afghanistan — it’s really about the white lady in their midst — but Carlock gets his shots in at the media and the military (“Hearts and minds ... the two best places to shoot somebody”), as well as Islamic patriarchy. Above all, as the somewhat tough-minded story of one woman finding her strength and what truly matters to her 6,700 miles from home, “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” is a good look for Fey as a movie star. Rated R for pervasive language, some sexual content, drug use and violent war images. One hour, 52 minutes. — Peter Canavese
who fights to become Zootopia’s first rabbit police officer. On her first day, she defends a fox named Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) from a bigoted shop owner, though she’s been taught to fear foxes. As it turns out, Nick is a hustler and a fox of interest in the case of 14 missing mammals. Judy coerces Nick to help her get to the truth, discovering along the way that he can be trusted. The top-notch voice cast includes Idris
Elba as Chief Bogo (a Cape buffalo), J.K. Simmons as the mayoral lion, and Jenny Slate as a sheepish deputy mayor. It’s understandable that “Zootopia” only reluctantly comes around to its crimesolving story, as the good stuff resides in characterizations and the morality play around them, decrying fear of the other. Rated PG for some thematic elements, rude humor and action. One hour, 48 minutes. — P.C.

Any person objecting to the name changes described above must file a written objection that includes the reasons for the objection at least two court days before the matter is scheduled to be heard and must appear at the hearing to show cause why the petition should not be granted. If no written objection is timely filed, the court may grant the petition without a hearing. NOTICE OF HEARING: April 19, 2016, 8:45 a.m., Room: Probate of the Superior Court of California, County of Santa
Clara, 191 N. First Street, San Jose, CA 95113. A copy of this ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE shall be published at least once each week for four successive weeks prior to the date set for hearing on the petition in the following newspaper of general circulation, printed in this county: MOUNTAIN VIEW VOICE Date: March 3, 2016 /s/ Thomas E. Kuhnle JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT (MVV Mar. 11, 18, 25, Apr. 1, 2016) NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: KERRY L. SCHULZ Case No.: 1-16-PR-178142 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of KERRY L. SCHULZ. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: JAMES R. CHARD in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA CLARA. The Petition for Probate requests that: JAMES R. CHARD be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. 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 on March 28, 2016 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: 10 of the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, located at 191 N. First St., 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.

DISCOVER THE JOY OF MUSIC Established in 1949, the Peninsula Symphony is a professionally trained, 90-member, volunteer orchestra led by Music Director and Conductor Mitchell Sardou Klein. The Bridges to Music educational outreach program ensures that all residents of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties can experience live orchestral music performances. The in-school educational program brings professional musicians and ensembles into elementary schools with little or no music curriculum in Redwood City, East Palo Alto, and Sunnyvale, and provides master classes and sectionals for middle and high school music students. Bridges to Music also offers two annual youth competitions, free community concerts and distributes free ticket vouchers for subscription concerts to community organizations and family concert vouchers to students in schools served. To learn more about Peninsula Symphony and Bridges to Music, please visit www.peninsulasymphony.org
During the months of January through March 2016, Sereno Group Real Estate and its Los Altos agents will be contributing 1% of their gross commissions to the Bridges to Music fund. H E RE F OR GOOD 32
