Fatal crash driver’s case dismissed PEDESTRIAN WAS KILLED IN CROSSWALK; PROSECUTORS CITED INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE By Mark Noack

anta Clara County prosecutors are dropping a manslaughter case against the driver involved in a 2015 accident in Mountain View that killed a woman walking across El Monte Avenue. On Aug. 16, a county Superior Court judge approved a motion by the district attorney’s office to dismiss the case against Glenn Kawaguchi, the Los Altos

resident involved in the accident. There was insufficient evidence showing that Kawaguchi was at fault in the crash, said Deputy District Attorney Marisa Landin, the prosecutor on the case. “We looked closely at the intersection with regard to the light that was there at the time of the collision,” she said. “We determined that we couldn’t prove the defendant was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.” The accident occurred on Oct.

22, 2015 at El Monte Road near the intersection of Marich Way. The victim, 54-year-old Michelle Montalvo of Los Altos, was hit by Kawaguchi’s SUV while crossing the street in a marked crosswalk. At the time, Montalvo was walking just a few steps behind her sister Delia Moyles. In his testimony at the scene, Kawaguchi said he couldn’t see Montalvo until it was too late. See CRASH, page 10

$30,000 PHONE HEIST Mountain View police are on the lookout for a masked suspect who reportedly broke into an AT&T store and stole over 40 phones in an early-morning burglary last week. Police received reports that the suspect broke into the inventory room of the business, located in the Grant Park Plaza on the 1000 block of Grant Road, sometime between 3:30 a.m. and 3:45 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 1. The phones that were reportedly found missing are valued at over $30,000, according to police spokeswoman Katie Nelson. The suspect is described as an adult man with short dark hair, and was seen wearing a black hooded jacket with no shirt underneath, black pants and black tennis shoes. He appeared to be wearing a dark cloth or t-shirt on his face, making him difficult to identify, Nelson said.

A 35-year-old Santa Clara man says he was punched and robbed in downtown Mountain View last week after he asked the suspect for a cigarette, according to police. The victim told police he approached the suspect, who was with two women, and asked for a cigarette as they were leaving the St. Stephen’s Green bar just after 2 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 2. As the group walked away, the suspect allegedly punched the victim and took his wallet and his watch, according to police spokeswoman Katie Nelson. The suspect is described as a black man around 30 years old, 5-feet, 9-inches tall with black dreadlocks.

APARTMENT BREAK-IN LEADS TO ARREST Police arrested a Mountain View resident earlier this week after he allegedly broke into an apartment through a window in the early hours of the morning, and was later chased off by a nextdoor neighbor The suspect, identified by police as 24-year-old Aaron Campbell, allegedly climbed into the apartment on the 200 block of Fairchild Drive around 4:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 3, breaking a window pane on his way in. He was later spotted by someone staying at an apartment next door, who reportedly yelled at Campbell and chased him out, according to police spokeswoman Katie Nelson. Officers set up a perimeter and found Campbell a short distance away on Tyrella Avenue. Campbell was later arrested and taken to Santa Clara County jail on burglary charges. Nelson said Campbell did not give a reason for why he broke into the apartment, but it’s unlikely that it was an accident. —Kevin Forestieri

Rent control: Three lawsuits seek answer to one question DISPUTE OVER LAW’S EFFECTIVE DATE COULD RESULT IN REBATES FOR OVERPAID RENTS By Mark Noack

hree lawsuits are now circling around Mountain View’s Measure V rentcontrol law, and all three cases are essentially asking the same question — when was the law supposed to take effect? This question carries big stakes for the city’s 15,000 rent-restricted apartments because it will determine when a citywide rollback to October 2015 rent prices was supposed to be implemented. The city, on behalf of the Rental Housing Committee, has already filed a case in court asking a judge to answer this question. But in recent days, other plaintiffs have brought forward their own suits, saying that it would take too long to wait for the city to resolve the issue. The reason for filing a separate suit is based on legal and political reasons, said Juliet Brodie, an Stanford Law Clinic attorney who co-authored Measure V.

In basic terms, she and her colleagues believe members of the city’s Rental Housing Committee are intentionally dragging their feet on resolving the question of the law’s effective date. Measure V, which was passed by voters in November, explicitly states that the rent control law was to take effect on Dec. 23. But its implementation was blocked at the eleventh hour by a lawsuit filed by the California Apartment Association. The suspension was ultimately lifted by court order on April 5, and the case was dropped. Afterward, city officials informally advised landlords to treat April 5 as the date as when the law took effect. As tenant attorneys raised complaints that the city was skirting the law’s December start date, the city’s Rental Housing Committee decided to bring the matter back before a judge. Earlier this month, the city filed a lawsuit for what is known as declaratory relief for clarity on

Measure V’s start date, but the case isn’t scheduled for any hearings until late November. Brodie criticized the city’s decision, pointing out that declaratory relief is normally used for dense issues such as property disputes. The decision to file this kind of lawsuit essentially amounted to the city punting the issue, she said. “It’s the Rental Housing Committee’s duty to implement Measure V, and to let people know when it takes effect,” she said. “They don’t want to do that because it’s politically charged.” Recently, Brodie and her colleagues filed their own lawsuit using a different legal approach. They are seeking a writ of mandate, basically asking a judge to order the city’s Rental Housing Committee to recognize Dec. 23 as the start date. That case should be resolved much more quickly than the See LAWSUITS, page 8

County sets aside $1.4M for new MV homeless shelter $4.5M FUNDING PACKAGE ALSO EXPANDS COLD WEATHER SHELTER PROGRAM IN SUNNYVALE, GILROY By Kevin Forestieri

he Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors agreed last week to pour $1.4 million into financing a 50-person cold weather shelter at Trinity United Methodist Church over the next four years. In a 4-0 vote on Aug. 29, with board President Dave Cortese absent, supervisors agreed on a broad, $4.5 million contract increase with HomeFirst, the nonprofit agency responsible for running several shelters in the county. The money would keep the county’s cold weather shelters open for a longer period each winter, and sets aside $350,000 this year and three subsequent years for HomeFirst RIDE CALTRAIN VTA LIGHT RAIL OR BUS SERVICE TO THE FESTIVAL!

to operate a new shelter at Trinity United Methodist Church, located at the corner of Hope and Mercy streets in Mountain View. Earlier this year, the church’s leadership — working with county Supervisor Joe Simitian — proposed using the church’s sanctuary space to house up to 50 homeless people, specifically families with children and single women. The shelter would require a provisional use permit from Mountain View, which would need to be approved by the city’s zoning administrator, before it can start operating this winter.

homelessness as a “crisis,” the number of people couch-surfing, living in cars or camping out on creek banks has grown particularly quickly in Mountain View. A “point-in-time” count of homeless residents in Santa Clara, conducted in January, shows that the city’s homeless population has shot up from 139 in 2013 to 416 in 2017 — the highest increase north of Morgan Hill. Nearly 99 percent of those 416 homeless residents are considered “unsheltered” because of the limited availability of emergency and temporary housing. Last year, the county opened up a 125-bed cold weather shelter in Sunnyvale by converting a portion of a county-owned warehouse into shelter space, but that still wasn’t enough to meet the demand. Last winter, 25 families had to be turned away due to “lack of bed availability,” according to a county staff report. In an interview with the Voice, Simitian said turning families away at the Sunnyvale shelter was a clear sign that there is an unmet need for shelter space in the North County. The funding approved by county supervisors at the Aug. 29 meeting also included a boost in funding to the Sunnyvale cold weather shelter, from $854,000 to $1.15 million annually, starting this year. The money allows HomeFirst to extend the cold weather season, allowing the shelter to keep its doors open

much longer. The seasonal shelters currently operate from the Monday after Thanksgiving until the end of March, but the proposed budget boost expands that window to Oct. 15 through April 15. The extra funding means the Sunnyvale shelter can accommodate up to 50 more people who need “interim” housing, residents who are receiving

housing services and have access to rental subsidies but are still searching for a rental unit. The stopgap measure for homeless residents provides more stability for people facing housing barriers such as health problems, according to the staff report. HomeFirst CEO Andrea Urton said the decision by the county to extend the cold weather period to six months is a response to a growing number of homeless residents seeking respite from inclement weather, which can result in illness and death when they don’t have a warm, dry place to sleep.

had to be done, she said. “We all saw what happened last year, with it being one of the coldest, wettest winters we’ve had in a long time,” she said. “And this year it’s been exceedingly hot. What the county is doing is throwing resources at this very serious issue.” The decision by county supervisors means that HomeFirst will need to hire more people, and hire them much earlier, in order to take on its larger responsibility, but Urton said the organization plans to rise to the occasion. There are still a few major questions that remain unanswered when it comes to the Mountain View shelter’s operations this winter. Because of planned renovations at the church site, the county’s Office of Supportive Housing staff conceded that the shelter may not be available until January. The current plan is to have the church shelter keep its doors open through March — rather than the new extended schedule — but that could change, according to the staff report. Working with faith-based organizations to provide homeless shelter space isn’t exactly a new concept in Santa Clara County, but Urton said there will still be some “unique challenges” if and when they launch a new shelter in Mountain View. She said she anticipates the new shelter beds will reach capacity, even though it will be on a referral-only basis and is limited to families. “I have a feeling those 50 spots are going to get filled up pretty quickly,” Urton said. “Knowing that there is a place only for women and children might make a mother feel more secure reaching out to get the help that she needs.” Simitian commended the Office of Supportive Housing for its diligence searching for suitable homeless shelter sites, and listening to the concerns of local residents in communities around potential new locations. In the case of Mountain View, the county has held a halfdozen meetings with Old Mountain View residents around the church property to hear out feedback and questions. “It’s time-consuming, it takes hard work, but the public is entitled to have legitimate questions and concerns addressed,” he said. “Ultimately, it puts us in a better place to make our case ... that these services are necessary and appropriate where we place them.” V

seeking damages for three times that amount, over $10,000. This sum is based on a provision in the Measure V language that instructs courts to award triple damages for civil cases in which landlords committed violations “willfully or with oppression, fraud or malice.” Goldstein believe his case fits that description. “I’m tired of waiting on this. We had this as part of our law since Dec. 23 and the city government has done everything they can to mess up this thing,” he said. “We have our rights and that should be it. We shouldn’t need to wait any longer.” All three lawsuits focused on the Measure V effective date are being considered by the court as related cases. Email Mark Noack at mnoack@mv-voice.com

city’s, Brodie said. The suit will first have to wait for the rental committee to discuss it in closed session, which is expected to happen on Sept. 11. In the last couple weeks, the same dispute has drawn a third lawsuit that takes aim directly at how thousands of renters in Mountain View are affected by this issue. This case involves a tenant demanding his landlord refund what he considers to be overcharged rent paid from December to April. The plaintiff, Steven Goldstein, is a Mountain View tenant who has been an vocal proponent of rent control.

LAHS math instructor wins teacher of the year By Nathalie Camens

etty Yamasaki, a math teacher at Los Altos High School, recently received the 2017 Santa Clara County Teachers of the Year award for the Mountain View-Los Altos High School District. Yamasaki, the department chair, led the school through the transition to the Common Core curriculum and pushed for changes in Algebra II to ensure that more students complete the course by graduation. Yamasaki, who has been teaching at Los Altos High School for about 22 years, has taught math from pre-algebra all the way up to calculus. Yamasaki said the district office gave the math department at Los Altos High School a challenge to get every student through Algebra II — an important hurdle in applying for college universities in California. To accomplish that, Yamasaki said she helped push for the creation of Algebra II enhanced classes, which provide a period of extra help during the school day. It’s now in its third year.

“That’s been working,” she said. She also helped students find tutors to help students at the tutor center. Yamasaki’s concern for students also extends to the highperforming students, who now have the option of taking a multivariable calculus class, she said. In addition to teaching her other classes, Yamasaki co-teaches the math basics classes for special education students. She said that the class is in its second year. “Our goal for that class is to prepare them for placement tests at junior colleges and give them life skills,” she said. During the switch to Common Core, Yamasaki was the coordinator and department chair of the math department. It took about two years to fully transition the curriculum to Common Core at Los Altos High School, she said. Yamasaki said her focus isn’t just on math. She also noticed that “there are a lot of things going on in the world that the kids are confused about ... I started to put humor in my daily lessons. Every day for 30 seconds I give them my thought

Los Altos High School. “I think it starts with (Principal) Wynne Satterwhite. Her belief is the kids come first, their health, well-being and education,” she said, “It’s never the same thing each year and that’s

what makes it fun.” The award ceremony will be held at Campbell Heritage Theater, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 14, celebrating Teacher of the Year winners in Santa Clara County. V

the meeting, told council members that he was disappointed with staff’s proposed changes, which several times went against BPAC’s suggestions. He said it’s cumbersome and challenging to get on the “correct” side of the road in order to ride on the sidewalk, and that the committee spent a lot of time developing reasonable exceptions. “The recommendations that BPAC made were basically ignored,” he said. Adina Levin, a co-founder of the Friends of Caltrain, called the bike parking rules “draconian,” and that she was dismayed that city code would entrench punitive policies on bicyclists when there’s virtually no bike parking available in the downtown area.

resident John Scarboro said the new laws amount to heavyhanded treatment of bicyclists that exceeds what drivers have to deal with. “I think overall it would have a chilling effect for people who want to ride anything other than motorized vehicles,” Scarboro said. Vice Mayor Lenny Siegel, who proposed sending the changes back to BPAC for a review, said he was concerned that the new city code, as written, would discourage people from biking in Mountain View. People are forced to lock their bikes on street signs and utility poles when there’s no alternative, and biking the “wrong way” on the sidewalk is often times the safest route around town. The city simply doesn’t have the bike infrastructure for the recommendations to make sense, he said.

“It appears to me that the recommendations we’re seeing tonight were written by people who don’t spend a lot of time bicycling around Mountain View,” Siegel said. City Council member Pat Showalter said the restrictions preventing people from riding on the sidewalk against traffic should be taken out altogether, and that she was skeptical that the hazards of riding a bike the wrong way on the road translated to a similar safety risk on sidewalks. Another proposed change that gave City Council members heartburn was new language giving police the authority to seize a bicycle or transportation device after a person violates the updated city code twice within a one-year period. Showalter called the section too general, while Councilman Chris Clark

suggested there be some clarification that shows the city has a compelling reason to confiscate a bike — like if the rider was arrested or the bike has been abandoned. Mayor Ken Rosenberg said it’s rare to see proposed changes to the city’s laws that were so ill-prepared for a final vote by the City Council. He raised concerns over the fact that city staff heavily disagreed with BPAC’s recommendations without stating clear reasons why. “Council has advisory bodies for a reason,” Rosenberg said. “If they are summarily ignored or discounted, then it seems like we don’t need the committee at all. “They do good work, so my inclination is to punt this back,” he said.

CRASH

concluded that Kawaguchi could bear responsibility for the crash, and prosecutors moved forward with filing a vehicular manslaughter case against him. As the case progressed, Landin said her office commissioned an accident reconstructionist to determine how the environmental factors at the intersection played into the crash. Basically, the ambient lighting at that time of day and how that would affect a driver’s response time stuck out in the analysis as problematic, she said. Following the crash, city officials have brought forward a series of safety upgrades to the El Monte intersection, including repainting crosswalks and adding streetlights to improve

visibility. Moyles, the sister of the crash victim, described it as disappointing that the criminal trial fell apart, but she credited the district attorney’s office for working hard on the case. She said that the city needed to work further on public safety at that location. “The most important thing is that my sister Michelleís death brought and continues to bring awareness for everyone to slow down and pay extra attention,” she wrote in an email. “Itís important that the physical improvements happen urgently before someone else gets hurt or killed again.

The accident occurred before the sun had risen and Montalvo was reportedly wearing dark clothing. While drivers must yield to people crossing the street, pedestrians are still legally responsible for exercising caution when using a crosswalk, attorneys for Kawaguchi pointed out. A blood test showed that Kawaguchi was not under the effects of alcohol or drugs, and there was no evidence to show he was distracted with his phone while driving. Police officers who reviewed a video of the crash also reported that Kawaguchi did not appear to be speeding at the time. Never t heless, of f icers

the federal land in question, located between the Ellis Street entrance to the east and and the Wescoat Village military housing to the west, has shallow groundwater contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE), a known carcinogen with vapors that can seep through the soil and accumulate inside buildings at dangerous levels. EPA records show the new housing would need “active vapor mitigation” systems, Siegel said, and the developer could potentially be required to do cleanup prior to construction. Dan Rich, Mountain View’s city manager, said that he, Mayor Ken Rosenberg and Siegel were briefed by NASA the week before the announcement was made. As seen from an aerial photo, the area slated for housing is west of Moffett’s runway and includes some baseball fields and the buildings nearby, Q Mountain View Voice Q MountainViewOnline.com Q September 8, 2017

housing and educational facilities. That provided the authority for the housing they are now proposing,” he said via email. “So the idea of housing is not new, but it has been dormant for many years, and the other components of the plan have been dropped. With nothing but a notice of intent, it’s too soon for the city to take an official position, Rich

LocalNews DACA

Continued from page 1

benefited from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. Launched under former President Barack Obama in 2012, DACA provides temporary legal status for immigrants who were brought to the United States as children and have lived in the U.S. for years. Despite support from both sides of the aisle to preserve DACA, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that it would be phased out with a “winding down” period, giving Congress a chance to preserve its protections “should it so choose.” Together We Will Palo Alto/ Mountain View organized the vigil in downtown Mountain View in solidarity with immigrants who are “being silenced in the face of fear” and could face deportation without DACA protections, according an announcement by the group. The group teamed up with the Services, Immigrant Rights, and Education Network (SIREN), and the event drew people from all over the Peninsula and South Bay. The rally, which included a march to Mountain View’s Civic Center Plaza, included testimonials from young DACA recipients and words of advice from supporters. Steve Blasberg, a math instructor at West Valley College, read a statement from Eloy Ortiz Oakley, the chancellor of California’s community colleges. “Ending DACA is a heartless and senseless decision that goes against American ideals and basic human decency,” he said, pledging to support all students, regardless of immigration status. “We will do all within our power to assist students affected by this decision, and we will advocate tirelessly in Congress for a permanent resolution to this issue.” Sessions, who referred to DACA recipients as illegal aliens three times, said the Obama-era immigration policy amounted to “unilateral executive amnesty” that denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans and largely dismissed federal immigration laws. He claimed the program also resulted in a surge of unaccompanied minors across the southern border into the country, resulting in “terrible humanitarian consequences.” “Enforcing the law saves lives, protects communities and taxpayers, and prevents human suffering,” he said. “Failure to enforce the laws in the past has put our nation at risk of crime, violence and even terrorism.”

MICHELLE LE

Holding candles, an estimated crowd of close to 500 people gathered on Sept. 5 to support young “Dreamers” affected by DACA.

Almost immediately after the announcement, Bay Area elected officials slammed the decision. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi issued a statement calling the decision shameful, cowardly, and a “despicable assault” on innocent young people. Deporting so-called Dreamers, who were brought to the U.S. illegally at a young age, would amount to destroying the lives of hundreds of thousands of patriotic young people and cost the economy billions of dollars, she said. Mountain View’s representative, Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, referred to DACA as a ray of hope for children who are American “in every way except on paper.” “President Trump’s decision today to terminate this program diminishes the hope for the bright young Dreamers who now call America home.” DACA recipients are often referred to as “Dreamers,” based

on the never-passed DREAM Act that would have provided similar protections. Sundar Pinchai, the CEO of Mountain View-based Google, weighed in with a statement on his Twitter feed. “Dreamers are our neighbors, our friends and our co-workers. This is their home. Congress needs to act now to #DefendDACA,” he said. At a press conference in Sacramento Tuesday morning, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla said Trump’s decision showed “callousness and cowardliness,” pointing out that Trump avoided making the announcement personally and “didn’t even have the courage to speak to his decision.” Padilla said the immigrants who benefit from DACA are not drug dealers or rapists — referring to the rhetoric used by Trump on the campaign trail last year — but are students and members of

the workforce. Many are business owners, and 16 percent are homeowners. “They are productive members of our communities contributing to society and contributing to our economy,” he said. In a letter to President Trump prior to the announcement Tuesday, Silicon Valley Leadership Group President and CEO Carl Guardino urged Trump to allow DACA to continue, saying that the Bay Area’s robust tech economy relies on the program’s recipients as a “domestic source of intellectual capital.” More than one-quarter of DACA recipients are pursuing post-secondary education, he said, putting them in a good position to join tech companies, from startups to global corporations. “Immigration has long been a source of strength for America’s innovation economy, and DACA recipients contribute to this

economic vitality,” Guardino said in the letter. The Mountain View-Los Altos High School District issued a statement denouncing the decision to suspend DACA, pointing out that about one-third of California’s DACA recipients are high school students. “The MVLA High School District enrolls all eligible students regardless of citizenship or immigration status. We stand with our DACA students and their families. You are safe on our campuses and we will continue to support your dreams and dignity,” said Superintendent Jeff Harding. One of the main arguments cited by opponents of DACA is that the program was done without congressional approval, and that the Obama administration subverted the legislative process by enacting the program after House Republicans torpedoed a comprehensive immigration reform bill. Sessions called DACA a legal liability in the announcement, and that it was facing “imminent litigation” from numerous states. “Ending the previous administration’s disrespect for the legislative process is an important first step,” he said. Although Sessions referred to DACA recipients as “mostly adults,” a nation-wide survey of about 3,000 DACA recipients, conducted last month, found that the average age of the people who benefit from the program is 25 years old, and that the average age when they arrived in the country was 6.5 years old. Data from the Migration Policy Institute found that 24,000 young people in Santa Clara County are eligible for at least some protection under DACA, and that 77 percent came from Mexico and Central American countries.

It’s not easy to briefly explain exactly what it is artist Nina Katchadourian does, as she uses a wide variety of media and methods, including photography, video, sculpture and sound, to explore ideas and the world around her, with playful humor and a unique vision. Stanford

University’s Cantor Arts Center (which is also getting a new director, Susan Dackerman, this month), will present a midcareer Katchadourian retrospective involving several of her bodies of work, including her “On-Hold Musical Dance Party” event on Oct. 19, at which she will collaborate with two DJs to create a musical soundtrack made up entirely out of sounds collected over the phone while on hold. Her work encourages viewers to take a closer look at the world around them and find wonder in the mundane and everyday, as she did while stuck on a longhaul flight, during which she began taking photographs of herself in “the Flemish Style,” recreating old-fashioned selfportraits in the lavatory, using airline napkins. The “Curiouser” Cantor exhibition celebrating her witty and whimsical work is a homecoming of sorts for Katchadourian, who, although now based in Brooklyn, was born and raised at Stanford.

FAST TONY’S POPS UP IN PALO ALTO WITH SOUTHERN-STYLE CHICKEN

ure, you can have your cordon bleu or your piccata, but let’s be honest: fried is how we really love our chicken. The southern belle of comfort foods, fried chicken embodies just about everything that is pleasurable about eating: that interplay of juicy meat and crispy skin, coated and seasoned and cooked in oil like God intended, salt riffing off pepper, evoking childhood memories of summer picnics and Fourth of July parades. A number of eateries have been trading on the down-home/ upscale fried chicken trend over the past few years — Front Porch and Sunday Bird in San Francisco and Starbird in Sunnyvale for example — all putting a foodie spin on the classic Southern favorite. One of the newest places to

take roost is Fast Tony’s Chicken, whose new owner is now billing it as a “pop up.” It’s located in the back reaches of Town & Country Village, near Belcampo Meat Co. and Biondivino Wine Boutique in the former Tava Kitchen space.. Pizzeria Delfina alum and Texas native Tony Nethery opened the place in June with the help of a new chef mentoring program offered through local Vietnamese fast-casual chain Asian Box, whose owners started the initiative to guide up-and-coming restaurateurs through the ups and downs of the perilous business. However, less than three months out, Nethery is no longer with the restaurant. Chad Newton, a partner in Asian Box and Fast Tony’s, has taken over day-to-day operations. He noted Nethery’s possible move to the East Coast and the fact that his

“heart lies in fine dining.” Newton’s take on the restaurant’s founding story seems a bit revisionist when set against what was put out to the public in advance of its opening. For example, now it seems Fast Tony’s was named not after Tony Nethery, but after Newton’s Asian Box business partner’s uncle. While Newton is in talks with the Town & Country management to extend the lease, Fast Tony’s could potentially move to a new location, he said. Despite the apparent early shake-ups, the restaurant has continued to forge ahead with its original vision of Southernfried comfort food for the California set. With the exception of a single fish sandwich, Fast Tony’s focuses on chicken. The short menu is posted on the wall and the choices

SEPTEMBER 26 - OCTOBER 1, 2017

Exhibition Dates (no pumpkin sales) The three-piece chicken meal at Fast Tony’s is served with pickle slices, a choice of side dishes, like potato salad, and a slice of bread.

September 26 and 27, 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. September 28 and 29, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Event Location: If you do decide to nab one of the outdoor tables, the friendly employees will make sure you’re well situated with plenty of napkins. (No tipping, by the way. A sign says employees get a portion of the profits.) The fried chicken sandwich ($11) is deep-fried chicken breast goodness on a soft King’s Hawaiian sweet bun, stacked up with crunchy cabbage slaw, tangy pickles and finished with a slather of the South’s favorite brand of mayo, Duke’s. Fast Tony’s particular combination of classic ingredients adds up to everything a sandwich should be, that deeply satisfying experience you can only get from pairing

are simple: fried chicken, baked chicken, chicken nachos, chicken wings, a fried chicken sandwich, a few sides and daily dessert specials of the pecan pie and cobbler variety. You decide if you want your chicken “hot” or “not.” Hot is “Nashville-style spicy,” about a five on a scale of 10 in terms of heat, with a warm interplay of seven types of peppers. In terms of ambience and amenities, the place is as bare as a plucked bird, what you might expect from a pop-up: a handful of outdoor tables, a makeshift counter, no restroom. Most people take their wings, sandwiches and combos to go, packaged in cute, picnic-ready white boxes.

warm, seasoned meat and cool, vegetal crunch between two pieces of soft bread. The three piece ($13) will get you a breast, leg and thigh, seemingly from some of the smallest chickens known to mankind. The dainty drumstick was no more than a few nibbles, but the meat did deliver plenty of juicy flavor. We opted for the “not spicy” but it was still deeply flavorful, with a satisfying, peppery finish. All combos are served with a piece of white bread and a stack of crisp dill pickles. Fast Tony’s offers three excellent side dishes ($3 small, $6 medium,

Stranger King STEPHEN KING’S ‘IT’ GETS A BIG-SCREEN UPDATE 000 (Century 16 & 20) Fear. The only way to conquer “it” is to face “it.” That’s the crux of Stephen King’s best-selling horror tome “It,” and its screen adaptations, first a two-part 1990 ABC miniseries and now Andy Muschietti’s cinematic “Chapter 1,” with “Chapter 2” in development. The movie is the story of seven preteens experiencing severe growing pains in Derry, Maine, a vision of small-town America (ironically outsourced here to Toronto), where a quaint, picturesque Main Street and seemingly sedate suburbs mask horrors literally and figuratively beneath its surface. For Derry’s sewers host a powerful malevolent entity that preys most vigorously on children and most commonly in the form of the ultimate creepy clown, Pennywise (Bill Skarsgard). In a prologue, Pennywise dispatches a young boy whose older brother Bill (Jaeden Lieberher of “Midnight Special”) soon becomes de facto leader to the bullied misfits of “The Losers Club.” Muschietti’s film makes palpable King’s theme of the worst horrors arguably being the ones perpetrated by humans on each

other: a sexually abusive father here; a psychopathic, switchblade-wielding bully not above carving flesh there. “It” locates as much primal fear in these literal-minded subplots as in the kids’ nightmare encounters with Pennywise. Aided by a bulbous forehead and untamed smile, Skarsgard effectively unsettles, sharing with predecessor Tim Curry an un-American otherness (Curry was born in England, Skarsgard in Sweden). It’s not all bad: friendship and love make the evil bearable and beatable, with a sweetly aching adolescent love triangle adding its own excitement. The new film sensibly bumps forward the setting from the late 1950s to the late 1980s, in anticipation of a contemporary “Chapter 2” to follow (audiences would do well to remember that, while “Chapter 1” tells a story with a satisfying beginning, middle, and end, it’s also only half of King’s narrative and thematic plan). The update still benefits from nostalgia: the cinematography’s soft ’80s look and a throwback approach to the horror (including makeup effects by Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff, Jr.) evokes the

practically write it themselves. Sensibly, the hype around “Patti Cake$” has mostly attended to its star, Australian up-and-comer Danielle Macdonald, who had to learn from scratch how to rap, and in a Jersey accent, no less. Macdonald’s performance confidently anchors the film, and her equally unknown supporting players provide colorful backup. At its best, “Patti Cake$” suggests a watered-down version of a John Waters comedy in its cast of misfits and proximity to cliché — but Jasper’s tongue isn’t in his cheek. In the end,

films of that period, including the “Nightmare on Elm Street” series (name-checked by Muschietti) and “Stand By Me,” the 1986 King adaptation that traded in its own ’50s nostalgia. Inevitably, this “It” also rhymes with Netflix’s King-inspired, ’80s-set “Stranger Things,” in part due to the casting of that show’s Finn Wolfhard as horny wisecracker Richie. In adapting roughly half of the 1,100-page source material, screenwriters Chase Palmer, Cary Fukunaga, and Gary Dauberman have a lot to cram into what’s become a 135-minute film. Although Muschietti’s film isn’t entirely beat-for-beat faithful to the source (King’s nutty post-climax gets necessarily excised), it adheres closely enough to please most King fans, especially those who have hungered for the profane and graphically violent R-rated version the miniseries couldn’t provide. If some of the dramatics are corny and some of the horrors diluted by decades of market saturation, strong performances and production carry the day. This pop-culture psychodrama still works, and linked up to its pending sequel should add up to a bit more than the sum of its parts. Rated R for violence/horror, bloody images, and for language. Two hours, 15 minutes. — Peter Canavese

“Patti Cake$” rises or falls on the skill of its audience manipulation; that’s its thoughtless, mercenary art. If you’re an easy touch for big-dreamer stories, enjoy, but if you’re looking for something fresh, you won’t find it here. Rated R for language throughout, crude sexual references, some drug use and a brief nude image. One hour, 48 minutes. — P.C.

In our ﬁrst meeting, David

noticed smaller details than the other folks I talked to, and he knew what work needed to be done. David’s team handled contractor quotes, renovations, painting, landscaping, and staging as a turnkey operation. When we got to the actual listing date, everything ran smoothly. The house looked beautiful and received multiple offers above our asking price, which David negotiated to an excellent conclusion.
