I said my goodbye for good two years ago, and I’ve since ignored your texts hoping that they’d die down.

THE FLY

Exit Right

SVNEWS

The pending transformation of a rundown Cupertino mall into a massive complex—2,400 residential units, 1.8 million square feet of office space, 400,000 square feet of retail—has become a test case for a controversial new law that aims to fast-track residential development in hopes of easing California’s crippling housing shortage. Ever since Sand Hill Property Company pitched the plan in March under SB 35, which requires cities to green-light certain mixed-use and residential developments, cities throughout the state have fixed their gaze on Cupertino to see how the landmark legislation would play out in a region considered ground zero of the affordability crisis.

It was somewhat surprising, then, that officials offered no public explanation for City Attorney RANDOLPH HOM’s abrupt departure in mid-May. Hom’s unceremonious exit—with severance pay reportedly close to $200,000—was announced internally by way of an email from then-City Manager DAVID BRANDT notifying employees that deputy attorney ROCIO FIERRO would assume Hom’s role until the City Council hired a permanent replacement.

The secrecy around Hom’s termination while he had such consequential work to do has fueled They rumors that it had Did something to do with What? the intensely scrutinized Vallco Mall project. And SEND TIPS TO without clear answers FLY@ from the council and City METRONEWS. COM Hall, despite numerous public records requests from local activists, it seems the speculation will go unchecked for the time being. Mayor DARCY PAUL didn’t return Fly’s call for comment, while city spokesman BRIAN BABCOCK declined to elaborate because he says it’s a personnel matter.

Maybe there’s nothing much to it. But the city should be more forthcoming, says TARA SREEKRISHNAN, who’s running for council this fall. “I’m someone who follows these council meetings really closely, and I didn’t even notice that this happened,” she says. “I think it shows a lack of transparency from our city.”

SHE, TOO As a staff counselor at a Morgan Hill youth correctional facility, Tricia Caparra allegedly sexually assaulted a teenage boy who was a ward there.

Hush Money Sexual harassment claims against public agencies cost local taxpayers millions

BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

T

RICIA CAPARRA allegedly groomed a boy half her age by urging him to share intimate, painful details about his life. Police say the staff counselor at the William F. James Boys Ranch, a youth correctional facility in Morgan Hill, put the 17-yearold at enough ease for him to open up about his feelings of abandonment and isolation.

Weeks into their daily conversations, Caparra allegedly told the teen to call her “Lotus,” a Buddhist symbol of love and compassion, and soon began calling him “babe.” Over the ensuing five months and even after the boy’s release in August 2016, he says

the counselor sexually assaulted him. When he asked to end the encounters, the boy says she resorted to emotional manipulation and threatened to cut herself.

Prosecutors say Caparra raped one other youth ward of the Santa Clara County correctional facility. Attorneys for one victim say she molested at least three. Her attorney declined to comment. The Sheriff ’s Office arrested Caparra last fall on 17 counts of sexual assault, but only after the victim sued. The cost to taxpayers to settle the case: $205,000.

At the Santa Clara Valley Water District, a female project manager reported that a supervisor would rub her thighs, graze her breasts, hug her and try to kiss her. In 2013, the agency paid $130,000 to settle her claim.

Three women in the county’s

Public Health Department records division complained about the same colleague groping, kissing, stalking and even growling at them. Despite repeatedly notifying personnel staff, the women said his behavior continued unchecked for months in 2015. The county paid $55,000 to three victims to avoid trial.

A police dispatcher in Milpitas accused her boss of sexually harassing her verbally and physically from the day she got the job in 1999 through 2015. At least one other higher-up witnessed the abuse, she says, but turned a blind eye. It cost the city $585,000 to settle—one of the region’s highest sexual harassment payouts in the past decade.

The list goes on with allegations that range from off-color innuendos and unwanted touching to sexual assault. The accusers include 9-1-1 dispatchers, records clerks, a fitness instructor and jail guards. Alleged offenders comprise mostly men but a couple women and run the gamut from middle managers to highranking bureaucrats, a police chief and even a personnel boss.

While the California Legislature and state agencies have undergone a drawn-out reckoning over sexual harassment, their counterparts in

Signed and Settled Metro has determined that Silicon Valley’s largest government agencies collectively paid at least $2.5 million to settle 18 sexual harassment lawsuits before trial in the past decade.

How much they spent in other legal costs remains a unclear—as does how it compares to other points in time, since there’s no official inter-agency tally and Metro only obtained records from 2006 to last year. A review of public documents from every South Bay city, the Santa Clara County Office of Education, VTA, water district and county identified more than 50 sexual harassment lawsuits involving eight local agencies. That doesn’t count claims filed internally or submitted to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which would number in the hundreds.

Unsurprisingly, the biggest public entity in the valley accounted for the bulk of those cases. Records show that only 125 of the county’s 17,000 or so workers filed internal sexual harassment complaints from 2006 through the end of last year. Of those claims, 11 escalated to state or federal regulators, 28 resulted in litigation and eight ended with a collective $1.5 million in payouts.

San Jose, an agency with some 5,000-plus employees by comparison, counted 173 allegations of sexual harassment in the past 12 years. Six of those claims resulted in litigation and three in monetary settlements that collectively amounted to $253,600.

Still, context is hard to come by.

A Sacramento Bee investigation earlier this year found that California’s 230,000-employee executive branch—

the state’s largest employer behind the federal government—spent $25 million to settle sexual harassment claims since 2015. The state’s 198,000-employee University of California system paid only $3.9 million in that same timeframe.

Florida, which has a stateemployed workforce half the size of California’s, paid $11 million in the past three decades to settle such claims, according to an Associated Press report. The state of New York shelled out the same amount for settlements in the past decade.

California outpaces both those states in the number of cases and the cost of settling them. But with no region-toregion comparison, it’s hard to tell how the Silicon Valley stacks up to other parts of California.

The smallest settlement unearthed

by Metro amounted to $10,000, which San Jose paid in 2014 to termed-out Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio’s former chief of staff, Denelle Fedor, who accused her old boss of verbal gender-based harassment. The biggest payout in a single case went to former jail deputies Jona Trbovich and Shonda Santos, who in summer 2016 split a $600,000 settlement over a claim of rampant and egregious sexual misconduct at the San Jose Main Jail.

System Failure For as long as Trbovich worked at the Sheriff ’s Office, she says she endured sexual harassment. In the academy back in 1995, she recalls colleagues making incessant remarks about her sexual appeal.

Over the years, according to her legal claim, Trbovich overheard male jail deputies talk about wanting to have sex with her. Fellow officers confessed their fantasies to inmates, per the lawsuit, and even encouraged them—some of whom were locked up on charges of rape and child molestation—to try to have sex with her.

Some officers told her directly that they wanted to “fuck her,” Trbovich says. One asked her to send him a photo of her breasts. Others harassed, ostracized and ridiculed her because of her relationship with a black man, which prompted remarks that were both racist and sexist. “When will you give us white guys a chance?” some officers allegedly teased her.

the South Bay have largely escaped scrutiny.

The very nature of the crime, frequently unwitnessed, along with shoddy record-keeping and legal mechanisms to keep settlements secret, such as arbitration and nondisclosure agreements, make it difficult to assess the extent of the harassment scourge. Meanwhile, efforts to shed light on the problem by requiring annual reporting, such as the Ending Secrecy About Workplace Sexual Harassment Act introduced in 2017 by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Fremont) and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-New York), remain parked in committee.

Trbovich singles out two superiors in her lawsuit: sergeants Douglas Ulrich and Michael Morin. Ulrich wrongfully accused her of sleeping with black inmates, she says, and would stalk in and out of the jail and sent coworkers to spy on her.

The unwanted attention irked Trbovich’s female colleagues so much that they’d often leave her to eat lunch and work out alone during her breaks, the lawsuit claims. With officers “on the prowl,” she says she began hiding during her breaks in the women’s bathroom.

In 2014, she filed a sexual harassment complaint. That only made matters worse, she says. Ulrich allegedly retaliated by ramping up his harassment, giving her “dirty looks,” calling her sexually suggestive and demeaning names and egging on inmates to treat her disrespectfully.

Ulrich then accused Trbovich of sneaking drugs in the jail and having sex with inmates. She says she was only under fire because she didn’t respond to his advances. According to Trbovich and her fellow plaintiff, their mistreatment was symptom of a broader cultural problem at the agency that predated her own tenure.

In 2005—five years before the county placed jails back under purview of the Sheriff ’s Office— officer Lorie Sills says she was forced to have sex with multiple superiors during an assistant chief ’s retirement party. She reported being told to sleep with numerous assistant chiefs and captains if she wanted to earn her promotion from acting to permanent lieutenant. The Trbovich claim characterizes the harassment Sills faced as relentless and pervasive.

“This meant that Sills came to work each day—knowing that other male and female officers were watching—expecting at least one of her male superiors to summon her to their office or some other location for sexual favors,” the lawsuit alleges.

Despite enduring the alleged abuse, Sills never secured that promotion. According to court records, Sills complained about the discrimination to the agency’s Internal Affairs unit. Lt. Jose Santiago, who ran the division, reportedly took her word for it and

ORDER IN THE COURT County Counsel James Williams says his agency has curbed bad behavior by expanding sexual harassment training. bypassed the jails chief by bringing the Santos complaint directly to the county Board of Supervisors.

Santiago had to litigate his own defense a short time later, claiming he was “blackballed” for reporting Sills’ complaint to the board and denied promotions from that day forward. He died before reaching a settlement in his case. And while the county paid Sills to sideline her lawsuit, none of her abusers were disciplined for how they treated her, the Trbovich lawsuit claims.

Santos, who joined Trbovich’s claim against the county, says she was subject to similar treatment for years before reporting it. In 2000, she says Morin pulled her into an office and demanded that she expose her breasts. For the ensuing decade and beyond, she says Morin assiduously harassed her, calling her “hot,” saying how much he wanted to “fuck her” and how good he was at “licking pussy.” He also allegedly showed her photos of his penis. In July of 2014, Morin allegedly walked into the women’s locker room to ogle Santos while she changed out of a “hot white dress” into her uniform. That same month, he also reportedly told her he was retiring

anyway, so she should at least let him “lick her pussy” since she wouldn’t let him “do her.”

Ulrich allegedly harassed Santos, too, prompting her to file a complaint against him in 2013. The Department of Corrections, however, failed to respond to the claim, her lawsuit alleges, and did nothing to hold Ulrich accountable. That wasn’t the first complaint from Santos, and it wasn’t the first time the county displayed indifference to women reporting abuse at the hands of male officers, she says.

Their attorney Na’il Benjamin says he’s disappointed by the outcome because they deserved more compensation for what they went through.

Hidden Tax It’s fair to say that big-money settlements reflect the egregiousness of the allegations, County Counsel James Williams says, and what his attorneys saw in the case brought

by Trbovich and Santos indicated that “there was definitely merit to the claims regarding these particular sergeants,” one of whom—Ulrich— was reassigned to patrol.

“We’ve been working on the entire culture in the jail writ large,” Williams says. “And that’s involved everything from training people how to interact with each other, how to interact with inmates and how to treat each other in a respectful, courteous and decent manner.”

The jail reforms coincide with a countywide push to raise the standard of sexual harassment training by expanding it from just managers to every single employee. The county also routinely revises its training curriculum to include contemporary cases pulled from the headlines.

Williams says the county never compiled the total number of sexual harassment claims until Metro requested it, and that he was surprised to see relatively small numbers for such a large agency.

Veteran civil rights attorney Larry Organ, who represented Cappara’s alleged victim in his case against the county, says a few factors prevent sexual harassment claims against government agencies from rising to the level of litigation.

“Well, for one thing, employment lawyers don’t like to sue public entities because you can’t get the same kind of punitive damages against them, so the cases have less value,” he says. “Then there are more hurdles because you have to exhaust all these administrative remedies.”

Things have to get pretty bad for a public employee to resort to litigation, he says.

Unlike sexual harassment cases that have toppled Hollywood moguls and political kingmakers and rocked some of Silicon Valley’s highest-profile tech firms and philanthropic foundations, lawsuits against government entities come at a direct cost to taxpayers. Legal fees and settlements become a hidden tax to pay down the damages of predation and cover the tracks of people who fail to moderate their sexual urges in the workplace.

Publicly funded institutions should be held to a higher standard, Williams acknowledges. “Our goal—and I want to be very, very clear,” he says, “is that there ought to be zero sexual harassment, whether it’s with our employees or the countless interactions we have with the public.”

CAUSE CELEBRE Local activist Jose Villa greets President Jimmy Carter upon his visit to San Jose in September 1980.

Lasting Legacy Local activist Jose Villa was a driver for positive, lasting change

BY GARY SINGH

W

HEN JOSE D. VILLA retired from San Jose State University in 1992, a gala party unfolded at the Le Baron Hotel on North First Street. Local legends from the Mexican-American community spoke of Villa’s 23 years of leadership, diplomacy and community organizing, both in and out of academia.

Even then, he had already left a formidable legacy of activism and heroics on behalf of Mexican-

Americans, Latinos, Chicanos and other underrepresented communities in San Jose.

Among numerous other achievements, Villa was the first faculty member of SJSU’s School of Social Work in 1969, where he also started the first graduate level program in Mexican-American Studies. Villa’s mentor was Dr. Ernesto Galarza, whose legacy is honored by the “Man of Fire” table sculpture in Paseo de San Antonio outside the Fairmont, and through their friendship, Villa was part of the first group to make a serious attempt at bilingual education at San Jose

Unified in the early ’70s. Out on the streets, Villa also spent time directing the Mexican-American Community Services Agency (MACSA) and played a serious leadership role during the mess following the Danny Trevino shooting of 1976.

When Villa passed away five weeks ago at the age of 87, I was quite bummed out because I’d been meaning for years to visit his home in New Mexico and interview him about his entire story and decades of building bridges across ethnic, political and administrative boundaries. No matter what ethnicity one claims, vibrations from Jose Villa’s life can be used to harmonize the predicaments of the current day, for sure. His contributions to the struggle for civil rights, not just in the Chicano community but for all local disenfranchised groups, could fill an entire issue of Metro.

Luckily, since I am only a few Kevin Bacon degrees of separation from one of Villa’s offspring, Angela, we recently spoke about Jose’s legacy. During a period of grief, she

mustered up some industrial-grade strength in recalling the dynamics of the Trevino shooting.

On Jan. 22, 1976, two San Jose policemen gunned down an unarmed young Chicano kid, Danny Trevino, resulting in huge but nonviolent protests. The issue took over 15 weeks’ worth of City Council agendas.

Thanks to Villa’s leadership, a broad coalition of community pressure led to a grand jury investigation. Police Chief Robert Murphy was eventually fired and reforms were implemented.

Potential riots were quelled and emotions were somehow managed.

“It could have been Ferguson,” Angela said. “It could have really brought an uprising. My dad was central in not having that happen, and having everyone keep their heads cool, so that positive change could happen.”

Thanks to Jose’s deft handling of the situation, he was invited to be one of 40 movers and shakers to greet President Jimmy Carter upon his visit to San Jose in September 1980. (See photo.)

“When he greeted Jimmy Carter, he gave him a huge abrazo, a big hug, because in the Chicano community that is what you do to fellow people of the cause,” Angela said. “So he greeted him from the Chicano community, as Chicanos would greet each other.”

President Carter immediately wrote Villa a thank-you letter. “I enjoyed seeing you today in San Jose, and appreciated the warm welcome I received,” Carter wrote. “Your friendship and support will be very valuable to me this year.”

Villa was a devout Catholic, and one particular anecdote exemplifies his legacy in terms of how he wanted people to relate to each other.

Reflecting on childhood memories from an adobe house his family built at 115 Jones St. in Clovis, New Mexico, Villa wrote an essay titled, “115 Jones Street: Lessons Learned In A Mexican Home.” The essay included this passage about his father: “Once, when I was five or six, I had the temerity to ask my dad why he didn’t go to mass. His simple answer was, La vida es las religión (Life is religion). And while I was trying to figure out what he meant he added, Y cada persona que es parte de tu vida es parte de tu religión. (And each person who is part of your life is part of your religion.)”

Villa embodied those words for the rest of his years.

HELLENIC GOOD From olive oil to ouzo and kebabs to kofta, Silicon Valley is home to some fantastic Mediterranean cuisine.

M

IDDLE EASTERN and Mediterranean cuisine is something that is near and dear to my heart. As the son of parents who emigrated to America from Palestine, the food from this cultural crossroads has been making its way to my mouth for my entire life.

However, growing up—and even late into my 20s—I refused to eat anything resembling food from that region unless it came out of my mother’s kitchen. But after much cajoling, a few friends convinced me to start branching out, and my culinary world was instantly expanded.

As denizens of the Silicon Valley, it is worth remembering that we share our Mediterranean climate with only a handful of other regions in the world. While we may experience some hot days this summer, ours is a far milder, drier and clearer-skied heat

than what much of the rest of this country can expect to face this season.

It is also worth keeping in mind that the so-called Mediterranean diet is considered among the most healthy in the world, as it is rich in fruits, veggies, whole grains, legumes and olive oil (not to mention great wine). Of course, there’s also plenty for carnivores, as the kabob is a staple of many countries abutting the Mediterranean Sea. As we continue to enjoy our warm—but not scorching—summer, it only makes sense to sample the many Mediterranean cuisines that have come from one of the old world’s greatest cultural and culinary melting pots to one of the new world’s most diverse metropolitan areas.

Athena Grill 1505 Space Park Dr, Santa Clara 408.567.9144

This quaint eatery fills up fast during

weekday lunches and features beautiful Grecian blue and white decor, as well as a terrific dogfriendly patio dining area. While one can’t go wrong ordering up the ubiquitous gyro, it’s their grilled octopus mezes that really caught my attention; nice and crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly in the middle, this is one signature dish worth ordering repeatedly.

Dish Dash & Dish N Dash Multiple locations

Running the gamut from fine dining at their Dish Dash locations to a counter-service fast-casual experience at their Dish N Dash restaurants, this South Bay chain has a great selection Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fare. No matter which location diners choose, the menus all offer pretty much the

same and the quality is always topnotch. I almost always order their mansaf, an enchanting blend of rice, shredded lamb, slivered almonds and a fermented dried yogurt sauce that’s heaven on a plate. Also, this is one of the few restaurants on this list that gets my mom’s seal of approval.

Diwan Al Falafel 1085 E Brokaw Rd, San Jose 669.292.5580

Chef Mohammed Afif ’s more than 40 years of culinary experience comes to a head in this all-Halal eatery in San Jose’s northside. Their giant slabs of meat turning on a rotisserie brings me back to street food vendors In the Middle East.

Their off-the-menu chicken and beef/ lamb combo plate is the best value and comes in a gigantic portions-enough for two patrons or one hungry food writer.

Experience the Mediterranean— famous for its climate and cuisine— right here in Silicon Valley

BY JOHN DYKE

Falafel’s Drive-In 2301 Stevens Creek Blvd, San Jose 408.294.7886

A South Bay institution since 1966, this is the pre-eminent spot to get those crunchy balls of crushed garbanzo beans and spices—yes, I’m talking ‘bout the humble falafel. One would be remiss not getting their famous falafel and fresh banana shake combo, as featured on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, as the cool tasty shake helps quench the heat of their fiery chili sauce that comes standard on each falafel sandwich.

Dio Deka 210 E Main St, Los Gatos 408.354.7701

Located inside the beautiful Hotel Los Gatos, Dio Deka was awarded a Michelin star back in 2010. It’s since

lost the honorific, but the restaurant is still definitely worthy of a visit, according to the 2018 Michelin guide—which singles out Dio Deka’s wine list as “excellent.” Check out the lovely patio and try one of their many seafood options to keep things authentically Mediterranean.

Evvia Estiatorio 420 Emerson St, Palo Alto 650.326.0983

A favorite of lunching venture capitalists and tech execs, Evvia Estiatorio is a sister restaurant to San Francisco’s Kokkari Estiatorio.

This upscale restaurant seeks to keep true to the core character of Greek cuisine while adding modern twists where appropriate. The seafood is a safe bet here. Their offerings of whole fish, octopus and calamari are all seasoned with authentic Greek aromatics and livened up with bright lemon notes and silky olive oils.

Gotta Eatta Pita 86 N Market St, San Jose 408.684.8214

This East Bay chain finally made its way to San Jose a few years back and is the brainchild of Yaniv Benaroya (aka the Pita King). I like to think of them as Mediterranean Chipotle, as their meals are served up assembly line-style. My go-to is their couscous bowl with their delicious eggplant, feta and a half-and-half protein option of chicken and falafel. A side of their pillow-soft housemade pitas is also a must-get.

Gulzaar Halal Restaurant 1880 W San Carlos St, San Jose 408.292.2786

This classic hole-in-the-wall familyrun spot is a hidden gem and probably my favorite place to get

kabobs. Their chicken or veggie samosas are a great way to start the meal, with their crunchy exterior and tasty fillings. Their mixed plate, which features one beef and one chicken kabob, along with a side salad and their addictive rice—speckled with crunchy, mouthwatering bits—is my go-to here. It’s worth noting that the kabobs come in three spice levels: mild, medium and “holy shit!”

Nemea Greek Taverna 96 S. First St, San Jose 408.279.4225

This is the go-to place for a sit-down Greek meal in downtown San Jose.

However, with its full bar located adjacent to the dining room, Nemea is also a great place to grab a few drinks and small bites after work. When

it comes to their specialty cocktails, consider getting adventurous and order the Medusa—a crafty concoction of vodka, basil, egg white and ouzo, of course.

Nick the Greek Multiple locations

This local chain is exploding all over the South Bay—they’re opening up their ninth location soon—and are renowned for their gyros. Their eponymous Nick fries are a culinary treat. These fresh, hand-cut fries are topped with feta, garlic, spicy yogurt and a choice of gyro meat or falafel.

Oren’s Hummus Multiple locations

This local chain specializes in authentic Israeli cuisine, and imports many of their items straight from Israel to guarantee authenticity.

Their hummus lamb plate is a tasty combo of slightly gamey lamb and fresh, creamy hummus. Also, their deep-fried cauliflower "fries" app is another must-get, and comes with a delicious pesto-labne dipping sauce.

Real Kabob Persian Restaurant

Opa!

2982 Almaden Expwy, San Jose 408.265.4429

Multiple locations

As the name states, this place specializes in juicy, grilled kabobs, which come served with mounds of fluffy basmati rice—and a charred tomato for good measure. For a real treat, try their No. 20 combo, which features zereshk polo (barberries) with their juicy chicken kabobs; the barberries taste a lot like a tarter, sweeter cranberry and really give this dish an unusual but pleasant kick.

Named for a Greek exclamation— “Opa!”—this small local chain was born in the South Bay and even has a location in Walnut Creek. On the lighter side, try the vegetarian dolmades (grape leaves wrapped around a rice, mint, dill and tomato filling), or the beet salad with pita bread and skordalia (a whipped potato and garlic dip) on the side. If you’re looking for something a bit heartier, you can’t go wrong with the gyro and a side of Opa! Fries.

Reyhan 1625 Almaden Rd, San Jose 408.293.3600

Reyhan is undoubtedly the biggest hidden gem on this list—its location puts the “dust” in industrial. But food adventurers will be rewarded with what might be the best Persian kabobs in the South Bay, and in truly gigantic portions to boot.

Their chicken and beef koobideh combo are the thing to get and can definitely be shared by two very hungry patrons.

Sophie’s Mediterranean Grill 4035 Evergreen Village Sq Unit 20, San Jose 408.728.7443

From the owners of Caspian Village comes a fast-casual spot in the heart of Evergreen. Sophie’s features an all-Halal lineup of meats and the usual cavalcade of Mediterranean

eats. Their beef kofta kabob with its flame-grilled exterior and the pungent garlic fries are sure to satisfy the heartiest of appetites.

Souvlaki’s Greek Skewers 577 W Alma Ave, San Jose 408.289.1452

This charming spot in east Willow Glen serves up some of the most authentic Greek cuisine in the South Bay. It’s not unusual to see Yia Yia (grandma) cooking in the back and whipping up something special. As the name suggests, souvlakis (a.k.a. kabobs) are their signature dish— but it’s Yia Yia’s moussaka, or Greek lasagna, that keeps me coming back time and again. Its silky béchamel sauce, heavenly layers of eggplant and ground beef makes for a truly sumptuous meal.

RIGHT AS REY At Reyhan in San Jose, they do Kebabs just right.

Stone Stew 398 Saratoga Ave, San Jose 408.622.1067

Stone Stew might be the most unusual pick on this entire list. Not only is their location (in the back of a grocery store) and specialty dishes unusual, but the interior décor might be one of the most beautiful and unusual places I’ve ever dined at—it’s got to be seen to be believed.

Essentially the stews are brought out in clay pots; diners pour off the excess liquid and mash the contents until it’s a fine mush and then gobble up the tasty delights with their fresh-baked Afghan naan.

Tayyibaat Meat and Grill 10 S Abbott St, Milpitas 408.586.9700

This is an unusual location, as it’s actually a Halal butcher shop that also happens to serve up Afghani kabobs, rotisserie chicken—and even burgers with halal bacon, which made from thin strips of beef. The kabobs are the thing to get here, and they come as either "tikka" (cubed meat) or "chili" (ground meat), but my vote goes to the chili version.

Seating is extremely limited, and it fills up fast at lunchtime with the local tech sector lunch crowd, so be prepared to wait.

Yas Restaurant 1138 Saratoga Ave, San Jose 408.241.5115

For more than 20 years now Yas has been serving up delicious Persian home-cooked meals in their hardto-miss blue and white building on Saratoga Avenue. Yas’ specializes in massive kabobs, and my favorite dish is the Yas Special, which produces one chicken and one beef koobideh kabob that are as tasty as they are massive.

Yiassoo Multiple locations

Yiassoo’s location in Campbell is one of the first places I can recall getting an authentic gyro nearly 20 years ago, and they remain my gold standard to this day. Their Super Gyro is my go-to, as it packs so much extra meat and feta cheese into their pillow-soft pita that it makes it hard to wrap one’s mouth around it for the first bite. Feeling extra hungry?

Get the Super Gyro plate that comes with their fresh-cut fries and some green stuff the kids call “sal-ahd.”

LAMB GOOD The lamb shank is always a safe bet at Tasso’s Restaurant and Bar.

Shank you Tasso’s Restaurant and Bar balances the traditional and contemporary

BY JOHN DYKE

T

HERE ARE CERTAIN professions and industries where, despite their grueling and thankless nature, people get addicted to their work.

One of my coworkers says that “it gets in your blood,” and I am inclined to agree.

One such profession is that of restaurateur; the hours spent by a hands-on restaurant owner can border on a 100 per week—from opening prep to closing time.

Take Tasso Perakis, for example, after a lifetime of owning four different restaurants over the span of nearly 30 years, he finally retired in 2015—selling off his Gilroybased endeavor, Tasso’s Old House.

Tasso and his wife Maria flew off to Greece for a well-deserved vacation to catch up with family and friends.

Meanwhile back in the states, their son Kostas was moving back home from Las Vegas and couldn’t wait to talk to dear old dad about (what else?) a new restaurant venture.

“I ended up moving back to San Jose around the same time and both

my father and I started talking about the restaurant business again, but this time, going back to our roots— back in San Jose where it all started for my father’s restaurateur career,” Kostas explains. Kostas also like to point out the irony in this. “I had first persuaded them in 2014 to sell-off the restaurant, as they’d never really taken any time off to enjoy the fruits of their labor.”

Their new endeavor, Tasso’s Restaurant and Bar, is located less than one mile (as the crow flies) from the original Tasso’s Garden, on the corner of Meridian and Willow, and is seated in one of the South Bay’s newer transit-villages. “We both collaborated on the menu items and cuisine,” Kostas continues, “integrating my father’s famous recipes and signature items. I took full control of the restaurant’s design and our logo, which I designed myself.”

The interior of Tasso’s is elegant, sexy and blue—very, very blue. From the luminescent blue lighting of the

swank bar, down to the Grecian blue plates and napkins. The booths even have a blue crushed velvet look that’s oddly retro, but also very chic.

I had the pleasure of being served by matriarch Maria on my visit and what an amazing woman. She was very outspoken, charming and quick with the jokes. She made us feel like we were at a friend’s dinner party, as opposed to a restaurant in the middle of suburbia.

The bar features Greek-inspired craft cocktails like the Fig Mojito ($12) and the Mediterranean Mule ($14), both of which contain fig vodka. There’s also craft beers on-tap, as well as bottles of imported Greek beers ($7/ea). I highly recommend the Zeos Black for dark beer lovers, as it was full-bodied but smooth.

As far as the food goes, there’s plenty to keep even the most hardcore Greek food lover happy.

From Horiatiki and Spanakopita to even housemade Baklava—there’s

MEDITERRANEAN MIXERS The craft cocktails at Tasso’s Restaurant and Bar are all inspired by flavors from the Mediterranean. plenty of hard to pronounce but easy to love items here.

Tasso’s, however, is known for their signature lamb shank ($20) which involves hours of braising and preparation to produce a thick, flavorful sauce and tender falloff-the-bone meat. The dish itself was sumptuous and hearty, as the accompanying rice pilaf, steamed veggies and Greek salad made for a nice palate break-up. There was even some marrow in the bone left for slurping up in one delicious shot.

There’s also a Greek Combo ($23.50) plate that features their lamb shank, as well as my personal favorite Greek dish Moussaka (aka Greek lasagna). Tasso’s Moussaka had a very unctuous and deep beefy flavor unlike any moussaka I’ve previously tried. It was a very flavorful dish, and when combined with their silky béchamel sauce and soft eggplant, it really packed a wallop of flavor.

Moving on to the dessert portion we couldn’t resist getting their Dos Grecas ($11) that, as the name suggests, combines two Greek desserts into one:

warm loukoumades (aka Greek beignets) and Greek yogurt drizzled with thymehoney, walnut crumbles, cinnamon and powdered sugar. It also comes with fresh, seasonal fruit (in our case blueberries and strawberries) to really give it that freshness factor—and this bad boy was gobbled up as quickly as it came out.

Overall Tasso’s has a really surreal feel to it, in that the cuisine feels like a down home country fare—but in a modern and elegant setting. The family-feel of the place can be summed up by Kostas’ reaction when I asked him for more info about the lamb shank. He laughs and states, “Believe it or not, although I am the son, my father has yet to share his signature recipe with me. It’s top secret!”

Benedicts Galore

T

HERE’S NOTHING MORE ’Murica than breakfast food, but eggs benedict reign supreme when it comes to a truly American morning meal. Purportedly invented in Manhattan’s Lower East Side in the late 19th century, eggs benny are a staple at any diner—and when executed well, are usually an indicator of how tasty the rest of the menu is.

At Benedict’s Cafe and Bar, breakfast is happily served all day. This newly opened eatery, named after the iconic breakfast dish, is the shiniest addition to an otherwise nondescript shopping center on Camden Avenue. Offering more than 30 breakfast options, as well as a somewhat eccentric lunch and dinner menu which boasts French, Italian, American and Mediterranean fare, Benedict’s has it all—but perhaps trying to do it all is too much.

After arriving at the restaurant late Sunday morning, we were seated promptly in the restaurant’s dining area, which is separate from Benedict’s bar.

A large newspaper-print menu displayed a variety of Bay Area-inspired items, such as the red-and-gold Niners and silver-and-black Raiders pancakes ($10.99 each), sure to please the rivaling palates of Bay Area football fans.

I decided on the chunky monkey pancakes ($10.99), which came loaded with chocolate chips and slices of caramelized banana and were swimming in a super-saccharine butterscotch syrup that tasted exactly like a melted See’s Candy’s lollipop. The pancakes were cooked perfectly, but the butterscotch syrup became overwhelming after a few bites.

On the savory side of the menu, I went for the chicken and waffles benedict ($12.99), an updated version on the classic which included two perfectly poached eggs on top of a generous portion of fried chicken and hollandaise sauce. Despite the excessive amount of hollandaise, the fried chicken was flavorful and juicy on its own. The waffles were somewhat bland and didn’t add much to an already flavorful dish. The gardener’s breakfast skillet ($12.99), an egg-and-potato scramble that included spinach, avocado, mushrooms, tomato and cheddar cheese, was wellrounded in flavor and texture and came with enough mix-ins to please any vegetarian, but was sadly missing potatoes. Whoops.

All of Benedict’s savory breakfast items also come with a side—of which there are nearly 20 different options—that are sure to please even the pickiest eaters. Sides can also be purchased a la carte for $4 to $6 each.

Benedict’s Cafe and Bar is convenient in that there’s an option for every palate. That being said, narrowing their menu to focus on key dishes, rather than going so broad, might be a better strategy for this newcomer. —Avi Salem

GIPSY KINGS

Wed, 7:30pm, $62+ Mountain Winery, Saratoga An acoustic guitar-wielding troupe of Andalusian descent, the Gipsy Kings came up in the south of France and play a Romainfluenced flamenco style known as Catalan rumba. But don’t let that intimidate you. Even if you’ve never owned any recordings by Gipsy Kings, you’re likely guilty of crooning uber-ballad “Volare” in the shower and you may be surprised that you know at least some of the words to “Bamboleo.”

The Kings’ genius is in making a physically and technically demanding style go down like a glass of cool sangria, like on the reggae-flavored “Escucha Me” or the salsa-funk of “Vamos A Bailar.” (AL)

YEAR OF THE COBRA

Thu, 8pm, $30 Mountain View CPA

Thu, 9pm, Free The Caravan, San Jose

An intimate account of love and loss, The Last Five Years follows a young couple through the significant milestones in their five-year relationship. The musical begins from the perspective of aspiring writer Jamie, on his first date with an up-and-coming actress named Cathy. From there it toggles back and forth between the two, and in time, as Cathy’s narrative kicks off at the end of their journey together.

The two vantages meet just once, in the middle, at Jamie and Cathy’s wedding. Inspired by the life of playwright Jason Robert Brown, the show was an off-Broadway hit and was adapted for the screen in 2014.

It runs through Aug. 11. (KL)

When folks think of the words “drum and bass,” they may picture a DJ presiding over a sea of buttons, knobs, faders and two turntables.

Seattle-based doom metal duo Year of the Cobra take a different approach, deploying fuzzy bass guitar and pummeling drums to create driving dirges. Singer and bassist Amy Tung Barrysmith holds down the low and high end, strumming hypnotically on her instrument while elevating her haunting vocal lines over the top of it all. The pair come to San Jose on their West Coast tour and on the heels of their latest release, 2017’s Burn Your Dead EP. (NV)

NORM MACDONALD SANTA CLARA Thu, 8pm, $25 COUNTY FAIR The Improv, San Jose It’s true, Norm Macdonald is yet another in a long line of Saturday Night Live veterans still running around the standup circuit. But he’s also a cult hero. Most die-hard fans know the oddball Canadian as the Weekend Update anchor who ruthlessly skewered everyone from Hillary Clinton to O.J. Simpson.

Alas, much of Macdonald’s postSNL career saw aborted TV series or roles in toothless Hollywood comedies—ironic considering the dry-as-a-bone Macdonald can draw blood when he wants. A master of the pregnant pause and possessing the power to wring laughs from the minutest observations, see why the club circuit may be best forum for his talents. He performs through Saturday. (AL)

Thu, 1pm, $10 Santa Clara County Fairgrounds, San Jose As Silicon Valley Pride approaches, the Santa Clara County Fair is shouting out to the local LGBTQ community with it’s first-ever “Out at the Fair” event. This welcoming theme kicks off the 2018 fair, which continues through the weekend.

Come out to enjoy delicious food, live entertainment, carnival rides, livestock shows, exhibits and all the traditional trappings. There will be performances by country singer Chely Wright, the Latin American-Iberian band LoCura and more. There will also be tons of kid-friendly activities, including a chance to get up close with a wide variety of animals. (DI)

THIRD WORLD Fri, 5:30pm, $15+ Plaza de Cesar Chavez, San Jose The reggae ambassadors are here to lively up the penultimate installment of this summer’s Music in the Park series. Formed in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1973, Third World had a full decade to digest the first waves of ska, rocksteady and reggae before ever laying down a track or playing in front of a crowd. Their sound is informed by all the scratchy, bass-heavy movements that came before them, as well as the glistening synths and tight, dance floor-optimized drumming that would come to define the disco era. Key tracks include “1865 (96° in the Shade)” and “Try Jah Love.” (NV)

*sat THE FOUR SEASONS

Sat, 7:30pm, $59.50+ Mountain Winery, Saratoga John F. Kennedy was in the White House when young Frankie Valli first unleashed his scorching falsetto on the world, driving such hits as “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Sherry.” Valli and his group the Four Seasons were remarkably durable as hitmakers into the late 1970s (That’s Frankie doing the theme song to Grease). Then, more than two decades later, Jersey Boys—based on the Four Seasons’ amazing career— became a Broadway hit and a Clint Eastwood film. Now, at 84, Valli and the band are still charming audiences.

SOULFULOFNOISE Sat, 8pm, Free SP2, San Jose Picture this: Lauryn Hill, Stevie Wonder, Biggie Smalls, Prince— basically every great soul, hiphop and R&B artist of the past 50 years—coming together in a single concert. SoulfulofNoise aims to make that dream a reality. By continually recruiting the best Southern Californian musicians to perform at their events, SoulfulofNoise shows are always stacked with great talent.

This summer, the SoulfulofNoise crew is hitting the road. The 10city tour comes to San Jose this weekend in what promises to be a funky good time at SP2. (DI)

WEEZER & PIXIES Tue, 7:30pm, $20+ Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View It’s a been a long and often bizarre journey from the crunchy power pop of “Buddy Holly” to the perplexing, Twitter-prompted take on Toto’s “Africa”—but after 25 years of flying their dork flags high, Weezer is still belting out gooey vocal harmonies over cranked guitars. What’s more, this summer Rivers Cuomo and his pals are playing alongside their cooler big brother band, the Pixies, led by the redoubtable Black Francis, who has not a whisper of dork in his DNA. I mean, can you imagine a Pixies cover of “Africa”? (WB)

PECULIARLY PRECIOUS Not all who wander Pace Gallery will be lost while considering the work of Tim Hawkinson’s new exhibit, ‘All that glitters, Must come Down.’

Strange Angle ‘All that glitters, Must come Down’ gets weird at Palo Alto’s Pace Gallery

BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

A

RECENT VISITOR to the Pace Gallery described Tim Hawkinson’s exhibit All that glitters, Must come Down as “super fun.” She went on to call out the Baldachin series in particular, noting that the artist was “playing with the classical figure” but wishing that the inkjet scrolls were on a nicer material.

They’re hanging vertically and mounted on gold emergency blankets that look like appropriate drapery for

the inhabitants of a future space colony.

The artist has digitally altered human nudes, twisting every limb and appendage around and around.

Each body is in a virtual knot. It’s a vision of an inelegant ice skater’s triple axel that ends in a disastrous pose. After finishing her tour of the work, the patron thanked the gallery assistant on her way out the door saying, “You make the neighborhood a better place.”

The four Baldachin nudes she mentioned are cousins to Francis Bacon’s tortured souls—but they’re all putty-colored. Bacon’s torment

hits the viewer with a gorgeous range of paints that terrorize the eyes as they take in the vast expanse of his canvases. That sense of psychic distress doesn’t come through in Hawkinson’s work. Porcine pink dominates the exhibit, and it’s monotonous.

Urethane sculptures also reflect the monochromatic sameness of those prints. They’re simulacra of body parts, torn apart and reconfigured, the work of a Victor Frankenstein who failed his high school anatomy class. Instead of summoning up a troubled psyche, the sculptures stand alone like cold, inert ideas of the warm-blooded, fleshly bodies they’re meant to represent.

In Odalisque, one of several other similarly themed spore-like sculptures, casts of a round belly and its button, the toe end of a foot, a cupped hand and perhaps a knee, an elbow or a shoulder blade, are conjoined in the middle like a damaged fetus that’s continued to grow into adulthood without a torso, heart or brain. There are two more works with “odalisque” in the

title. One is black and silver made of urethane, epoxy and fabric. The second is called Diamond Odalisque, its “diamond” shine coming from a mirrored mylar wrap. Both have tentacles that circle and curve around each other, suggesting the shape of cephalopods. These pieces aren’t unlike the balloon animals a clown makes at a child’s birthday party, but made colorless and sized for adults.

Also childlike in inspiration is the exhibition’s centerpiece, Juggernaut.

The gallery assistant said the concept came in part from Hawkinson’s daughter. The artist has mounted a glittering tiara onto a spinning gyroscope. Inside of these moving circles are six red, yellow and blue cans of BernzOmatic gas torches.

One or more of them contains a rubber ball that bounces and beams out a ringing, metallic sound. This contraption lives on top of a pool ladder on wheels. It stays in motion for 12 minutes then stops if its sensors can’t detect anyone nearby. The juggernaut is a dizzying, insistent child’s fantasy that whispers in her ear, "One day soon you too shall become a princess!" Either Disney or Meghan Markle has a lot to answer for in the Hawkinson household.

All that glitters, Must come Down brought to mind the “Death” episode of the British television series Absolutely Fabulous. Eddie Monsoon’s (Jennifer Saunders) father has died.

To assuage her grief, or her inability to grieve, she visits a London art gallery. Accompanied by a gallerist she declares, “I’m a serious collector.

I’m not interested in artistic value.

I just want to know how much this is going to be worth in 20 years’ time.” She sees a flimsy mobile, a humanoid-shaped robot made from a stack of old televisions, and a plaster pair of lumpy green, high-heeled shoes. Eddie concludes her tour by saying, “It all looks like bollocks so it must be worth something.”

Hawkinson may be openly mocking the art-buying public in this exhibit, or he may just want visitors to think the work is super fun.

WHY SPY? The Spy Who Dumped Me: Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon buddy up for forgettable spy comedy.

Lady Killers

‘The Spy Who Dumped Me’ is a crass, chick-buddy flick aimed at dudes

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

W

ITH THE HONORÉ de Balzac joke— featuring an actual ball sack dangled on camera—and a poop joke every 10 minutes, the script of The Spy Who Dumped Me has certain tonal problems.

Director and co-scriptwriter Susanna Fogel uses unusually harsh violence, with a crudeness that seems to be reaching out to the male audience who might balk at sitting for a female buddy movie.

It’s like the diarrhea sequence in The Bridesmaids—material that was

insisted upon by the male producers, as something the guys couldn’t resist.

Audrey (Mila Kunis) was ditched, via text, by her boyfriend Drew right before her birthday. Her BFF, the would-be actress Morgan (Kate McKinnon) coaxes Audrey into having a bonfire of possessions Drew left behind—everything from his skid-marked underwear to his fantasy football league trophy, second place: The latter is this film’s maguffin.

Audrey’s hostile texts bring Drew (Justin Theroux) back to L.A. from the field, where he’d been chased by assassins in Eastern Europe.

Gunmen catch up with him, and at Drew’s dying request, Audrey and

Morgan drop everything and take the trophy from LAX to Vienna, with some interference by the MI6 agent Sebastian (the male-modelish Sam Heughan) and his complaining partner (Hasan Minhaj).

Kate McKinnon’s astonishing work on SNL doesn’t spare her from having to search for a way to play Morgan—it’s the same problem she had with her character in Ghostbusters. McKinnon has keen off-kilter lines every now and then, like her story of how she’d failed an audition playing a Ukrainian farm woman in a Geico ad because “I was too authentic.” She’s quite a weirdette, executing a big Three Musketeers-style bow complete with a whirl of her hand. When she goes for a disguise, she picks a very bad one: a Cockney taxi driver.

There’s a piercing section when Drew puts Morgan down for her jokes: “Anybody ever tell you that you’re a little much?” That line was written in heart’s blood, as the sort of thing dreaded by anyone who has tried to be funny. (Likely, it’s the New

Yorker writer in Fogel that kept that observation in the film.)

As for Mila Kunis, of the heavy eyelids and heavier scowl, she is a little much. She’s gowned up for the final, glamorous part of the assignment and she looks formidable. But Kunis is not an actress who seems patient enough or light enough for comedy.

At one point, she wonders about “a fake spy friendship that the Russians put together.” That’s a direction the film might have taken—the idea that the two roomates Morgan and Audrey don’t have that much in common, that it’s a friendship that just existed because of habit or old times’ sake, and that it needed some danger to revive it. McKinnon brings in the franticness, but it’s not the same thing as chemistry. This is the kind of buddy movie that has the characters telling each other how much they love each other, instead of letting us feel it. It’s also a pity that the European spy vacation sequences aren’t as ravishing as what goes down in Mission: Impossible—Fallout.

The movie makes a declaration of its fierceness by bringing in Ivanna Sakhno as Nadedja, an assassin with hollow eyes, pale eyebrows and pointed chin. McKinnon’s Morgan babbles, “You’re barely human, you’re so pretty” before they get into a fight at Cirque du Soleil-like private party.

The Spy Who Dumped Me is filled out with a couple vets from TV’s Lady Dynamite, including Fred Melamed, talking like a Jersey gangster, and Olafur Darri Olafsson as a loiterer at a skeevy Amsterdam hostel.

The Spy Who Dumped Me isn’t aiming for depth—there’s animated kernels of popcorn bouncing around in the title card—but there are one too many room-clearing fight scenes, like the one in Vienna where someone gets their face pushed into a boiling cauldron of soup.

Compared to 2015’s Spy, which did such a sterling job of satirizing the newer Bonds, this comedy plays sometimes as if there were too many cooks, and other times like there wasn’t enough cooking.

EVENT

BI-CURIOUS ‘Bike Boogie’ event celebrates the versatility, design and cosmic power of the bicycle.

Soul of the Cycle OVER THE LAST century, bicycling has gradually morphed from a leisure time amusement to a serious mode of transportation to a lifestyle to a culture. And, these days, in the minds of some, riding a bike has essentially become synonymous with saving the world.

It’s an immense burden to place on a lightweight contraption with two wheels, but according to a current exhibit at the San Jose Institute for Contemporary Art, the bicycle is up for the challenge.

In conjunction with the exhibit “On Your Left”—which explores the art and design of the bicycle—the SJICA is hosting an Bike Boogie all-day celebration of all things bike.

The Bike Boogie will dominate the day on Saturday, Aug 4, 11am, Free Aug. 4 at the ICA’s gallery space in downtown San Jose. The institute is partnering with the Silicon Valley San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art Bicycle Coalition for a day of activities in which bicycles sjica.org are put in fun new contexts. For instance, there’s a “bike rodeo,” where bikes substitute for buckin’ broncos as riders navigate an obstacle course.

“There’s also a bike runway,” says Marielle Mervau, the ICA’s curatorial associate and visitor engagement manager. “That’s where you can either dress up like your bike, or decorate your bike, and walk the runway, narrated by an emcee.”

There will also be free bike tune-ups, workshops in bike repair, presentations on safety in urban settings for bicyclists, and a talk about San Jose’s bicycle plan.

Bike Boogie is designed to draw visitors to the ICA’s “On Your Left” exhibition, part of a broader initiative called “New Terrains: Mobility and Migration.” The initiative brings together a variety of Silicon Valley arts organizations—the San Jose Museum of Art, Saratoga’s Montalvo Arts Center and the Tech Museum of Innovation among them—to develop programs and exhibitions about the element practice of human transportation.

The ICA’s new show is the first of those efforts. It’s a collection of sculptures, drawings and installations from a number of artists that contemplate the bicycle’s place in enhancing the human experience, including the role of the bike in the design of urban spaces and the bike’s role in memory and the passage of time.

“It’s a show that thinks about the bike as an object of craft and design,” Mervau says, “and a catalyst for a sustainable future. How can we think about the bicycle in a more reflective manner, and our relationship with the bike?” —Wallace Baine

288 S 2ND ST • DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE

SEX APPEAL Two of Marilyn Monroe’s most iconic films duel with a revival of two 007 films from 1983.

Blondes & Bond

A

N UNGODLY AMOUNT of kitsch surrounds the suffering and decline of Marilyn Monroe, obscuring how much fun she was to watch. A double bill of 1953’s Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (July 31-Aug. 12) and How to Marry a Millionaire (July 31-Aug. 5) explains the appeal.

Marry isn’t as magic—it’s a reprise of a frequently filmed script with three Manhattan ladies (Lauren Bacall, a myopic Marilyn, and Betty Grable) trying their luck with various menfolk. But for some reason Monroe excelled in 1920s settings, as in Some Like it Hot. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is based on Anita Loos’ superb comedic novel about Jazz Age siren and showgirl Lorelei Lee (Monroe) boating to Paris with her traveling companion Dorothy (Jane Russell, dark, shrewd and macha, where Marilyn is tentative, breathy and squeaky.)

Lorelei has a thing for gemstones. Though trying hard to be faithful to her rich, square boyfriend (Tommy Noonan) she’s willing Gentlemen Prefer Blondes to tangle with a wealthy old shipmate, Sir How To Marry a Millionaire Francis “Piggy” Beekman (Charles Coburn, Octopussy rumbling away in Swahili as he demonstrates Never Say Never Again how the boa constrictors back in Africa would encircle and squeeze a native).

3Below Theatres The effervescent composer Jule Styne gave MM & Lounge, San Jose two of her best numbers. Her duet with Russell on “Two Little Girls from Little Rock” is an outrageously bold opener of spangles, tinsel and girl power. “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend” is the moment when Marilyn started to captivate the world. Producer and director Howard Hawks told biographer Joseph McBride that he hadn’t been interested in production numbers. Thus this brief 91-minute musical has the sharpness and compact size of great cabaret, highlighting the bright screwball comedy and the hot pink and fire-orange color scheme.

Some gentlemen prefer Bonds. On Aug 7-11, 3Below hosts the noncanonical remake of Thunderball (1965)—Never Say Never Again (1983)— has Sean Connery reprising the role of James Bond for the first time in a decade. Octopussy (also 1983) is an embarrassment for those who like 007 to be brutal (clown makeup, really?). However, it has a great deal of sweep, and a thrilling pre-title sequence with a Bede BD-5 jetting through a hangar at 150 mph. Co-scriptwriter George MacDonald Fraser brought in inventive deathtraps to throw at the unflappable Roger Moore, including a deadly blue ringed octopus and a giant razor yo-yo. —Richard von Busack

SUCCINCT SONGS Only two of the 10 songs on ‘Kill the Lights’ by Tony Molina break the 2-minute mark.

Short Cuts The Peninsula-based Tony Molina is back with a compact punk-to-pop set

BY MIKE HUGUENOR

A

LMOST EVERY musician I know loves Tony Molina. It’s pretty easy to see why. So far, he’s written nothing but nearperfect songs. The 20 tracks that span his first full length (Dissed and Dismissed) and its follow-up EP (2016’s Confront the Truth) are a wealth of melodies, riffs and leads, with hardly a second of run-time wasted.

Now, the Peninsula-based musician is back with Kill the Lights.

Released on July 27, it’s his first-full length since Dissed and Dismissed appeared on tape back in 2013. “Full length” is, of course, a loose term here, since the album’s 10 tracks fly by in less than 15 minutes. In Molina’s world, the melodies start early and carry the songs through their just-as-early ends.

Take, for example, album highlight “Jaspar’s Theme.” Sounding a bit like full-band Elliott Smith, the tune hits the listener with three razor sharp

melodies in a row, dips into a guitar solo and then immediately connects to its outro. For someone familiar with Molina’s work, it’s an example of the clarity of his songwriting, and a particularly good one at that. And at 2:02, it’s also one of the longest songs in his discography.

Molina famously came out of the West Bay’s hardcore scene, and at this point, giving the hardcore treatment to pop songs is already well-worn territory for him. Dissed and Dismissed was a compact pop gem flecked with colors of Weezer, Ozma, and playful bits of Iron Maiden-y shredding. Only half of its 12 tracks exceeded a minute, but all of them established his format of taking a big rock sound and boiling it down to its essence, often bookended by squeals of feedback.

Confront the Truth, it’s 2016 followup, was quieter but no less brief.

Not only did it shed its predecessor’s characteristic squeals of feedback, there was no distortion on the record

whatsoever. Instead, Truth was coated in the gentle purr of an organ, the melodies sounding more like Lennon, Big Star and Elliott Smith, and less like Rivers Cuomo.

For someone whose first record was practically synonymous with shredding guitar leads, this was a change some found disorienting, but it doesn’t take many listens for the througline between both records to become apparent. Though the sonic palette may have shifted dramatically, it was still unmistakably Molina in spirit, skill and voice.

Those core elements are just as present on Kill the Lights. The new record builds on Confront the Truth, and often sound as though Molina is untangling the mess of wires that is classic rock, and repatching it into something more direct.

But make no mistake, there is a lot of classic in this rock. Kill the Lights is one of the few records in recent memory that might bring millennials and their grandparents together. Plenty of AM rock gets run through Molina’s streamlined machine, coming out the other side sounding fresh, almost punk. Album opener “Nothing I Can Say” riffs lightly on the Byrds’ “The Bells of Rhymney” before exploding into pastoral oohs and 12 string leads, encapsulating an entire summer in less than a hundred seconds. It also features the weirdly assertive line, “There’s no such thing as time,” which just might be the hidden mission statement of Molina’s entire project. If time is an illusion, who cares how long the songs are (or what era of pop they’re inspired by), as long as they work? It’s a no-bullshit kind of approach, one that clearly reflects his come up from the Bay Area’s DIY scene.

And on Kill the Lights that’s exactly what you’ll get: no bullshit. If you’re already a fan of Molina, here you’ll find some of his best songs to date.

And if you’re new to the club, welcome. Get ready to hit repeat in a few minutes.

ON THE LOOKOUT Jim Pugh champions local artists like Aki Kumar on his Little Village record label.

it takes a Village

S

URE, HE’S A music industry veteran with tons of connections as well as a record producer who runs his own label. But if you’re looking to Jim Pugh to make you into the next Kanye or Tay Tay, you’re going to be disappointed. He’ll tell you so himself.

“To anybody who really wants to become a big deal—look, I’m 63 years old,” he says. “I have no idea how you become a big deal anymore.”

From his perch as the executive director of the non-profit Little Village Foundation, Pugh is pretty far from the levers of the star-making machinery.

But he is committed to making the world a more musically interesting place by finding the jewels everyone else seems to be overlooking.

On Aug. 1, Pugh and Little Village will be dropping no fewer than seven new recordings from California Little Village Showcase musicians who have little in common other than their defiance of conventional genre definitions.

Aug 1, 7pm, $20+ “This is more (about) shining a light on smaller Freight & Salvage, things,” says Pugh, who spent years on the road as a Berkeley keyboard player for Robert Cray and other artists. “It’s thefreight.org not with any intention to become some kind of massive viral national sensation. I don’t know how to do that.”

Instead, Little Village is focusing on idiosyncratic artists who are, according to Pugh, “not even looking to be found.” They include a Latina soul singer who renders Bob Dylan to Spanish, a Russian Jewish chanteuse who records with her parents, and an Indian-born guitarist who joyfully marries Bollywood ballads to Chicago blues.

The seven new releases count for almost all the product that Little Village will release this year. The idea behind the mass release is to create the kind of buzz that the individual artists may not be able to create on their own.

“I relate to the emotional commonality in all of them,” says Pugh. That commonality even goes beyond language. Bluesman Aki Kumar sings many of his songs in his native tongue, Hindi. “I don’t have to speak the language to be moved by Mariachi Mestizo,” says Pugh, pointing to the group from the Central Valley town of Delano that’s also part of the Little Village release slate.

Pugh will be showcasing his roster with a date at Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage on Wednesday, Aug. 1, the recordings’ release date. Included in the show will be San Jose guitarist Kumar, members of Mariachi Mestizo, soul and gospel artist Marcel Smith, Bay Area R&B vocalist Marina Crouse, Russian-American violinist Ada Pasternak, blues phenom Whitney Shay, and singer-songwriter Maurice Tani. —Wallace Baine

ADVICE GODDESS

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

“interrelated attitudes” he calls the three Cs: Commitment, Control and Challenge.

Commitment is the desire to engage with people and life instead of pulling away and isolating yourself. Control is the motivation to take action to improve your life “rather than sinking into passivity and powerlessness.” Challenge is the willingness to face the stress life throws at you and use it as a learning experience “rather than playing it safe by avoiding uncertainties and potential threats.”

These attitudes might not come naturally to you, but you can choose to take them up. Understanding that there are steps you can take to recover from heartbreak might give you the courage to go for a woman you really love.

Sure, that woman might leave you, causing you big-time pain. But consider that risk avoidance—like by being with a woman you don’t really care about—isn’t pain avoidance. The pain is just different.

It’s low-dose extended-release—like frequently experiencing the post-sex horror that leads you to want to grab your clothes and make a run for it before the woman next to you wakes up. And then you remember a couple of essential points: She’s your wife, not some Tinder rando, and it’s your apartment.

I’m a 31-year-old guy who got really hurt after a relationship ended a few years back. Now I just don’t date women whom I’ll ever really care about because I don’t ever want to feel how I felt when my previous relationship ended. My friends say I’m being a coward and missing out, but, hey, I’m not depressed over any chicks. I think I’m being smart in protecting myself. Maybe more people should take this approach.—Comfortably Numb These days, your relationships probably start when you eyeball a woman on the street: “Whoa! I bet she’d be seriously mediocre in bed!” Next, you discover that she’s a real yawn out of the sack, too—and you’re in!

Now, it’s possible that you’re way more emotionally sensitive than most people, to the point where a loss that others would eventually recover from hits you like a never-ending colonoscopy.

Even if you are super sensitive, avoiding the pain comes at a substantial price: living a gray goulash of a life, spending every day with some uninspiring soul you don’t really care about. But consider that we evolved to be resilient—to heal from emotional injuries as we do physical ones.

However, in order for you to do this—and to see that you might actually be able to stand the pain of loss—you need to view resilience not as some mysterious emotional gift but as a practice.

Resilience comes out of what clinical psychologist Salvatore Maddi calls “hardiness.” He writes that hardiness “provides the courage and motivation to do the hard, strategic work of turning stressful circumstances from potential disasters into growth opportunities.” His research finds that hardiness is made up of three $29 Massage

Golden opportunities will arise, and you'll come into possession of lead that can be transmuted into gold. But it's also important to be prudent about your dealings with gold. Consider the fable of the golden goose. The bird's owner grew impatient because it laid only one gold egg per day; he foolishly slaughtered his prize animal to get all the gold immediately. That didn't work out well. Or consider the fact that to the ancient Aztecs, the word teocuitlatl referred to gold, even though its literally translation was "excrement of the gods."

Moral of the story: If handled with care and integrity, gold can be a blessing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus socialite Stephen Tennant (1906-1987) was such an interesting luminary that three major novelists created fictional characters modeled after him. As a boy, when he was asked what he'd like to be when he grew up, he replied, "I want to be a great beauty."

I'd love to hear those words spill out of your mouth, Taurus. What? You say you're already all grown up? I doubt it. In my opinion, you've still got a lot of stretching and expansion and transformation to accomplish during the coming decades. So yes, I hope you can find it in your wild heart to proclaim, "When I grow up, I want to be a great beauty." (P.S. Your ability to become increasingly beautiful will be at a peak during the next 14 months.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): "Sometimes, I feel the past

and the future pressing so hard on either side that there's no room for the present at all." A character named Julia says that in Evelyn Waugh's novel Brideshead Revisited. I bring it to your attention as an inspiring irritant, as a prod to get you motivated.

I hope it will mobilize you to rise up and refuse to allow your past and your future to press so hard on either side that there's no room for the present. It's a favorable time for you to fully claim the glory of being right here, right now.

believes all our valuable lessons emerge from suffering. Nor am I a pop-nihilist who sneers at pretty flowers, smiling children and sunny days. On the contrary: I'm devoted to the hypothesis that life is usually at least 51 percent wonderful. But I dance the rain dance when there's an emotional drought in my personal life, and I dance the pain dance when it's time to deal with difficulties I've ignored. How about you, Virgo? I suspect that now is one of those times when you need to have compassionate heart-to-heart conversations with your fears, struggles and aches.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you absolutely need orchids, sweet elixirs, dark chocolate, alluring new music, dances on soft grass, sensual massages, nine hours of sleep per night, and a steady stream of soulful conversations? No. Not really. In the coming days, life will be a good ride for you even if you fail to procure those indulgences. But here are further questions and answers: Do you deserve the orchids, elixirs, and the rest? My answer is yes, definitely. And would the arrival of these delights spur you to come

up with imaginative solutions to your top two riddles?

I'm pretty sure it would. So I conclude this horoscope by recommending that you do indeed arrange to revel in your equivalent of the delights I named.

Playmates SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Don't try to steer the and mates river," soul writes Deepak Chopra. Most of the time, I agree with that idea. It's arrogant to think that we have the power to control the forces of nature or the flow of destiny or the song of creation. Our goal should be to get an intuitive read on the crazy-making miracle of life, and adapt ourselves ingeniously to its evershifting patterns and rhythms. But wait! Set aside everything I just said. An exception to the usual rule has arrived. Sometimes, when your personal power is extra flexible and robust—like now, for you—you may indeed be able to steer the river a bit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "Dear Astrologer:

Recently I've been weirdly obsessed with wondering how to increase my levels of generosity and compassion. Not just because I know it's the right thing to do, but also because I know it will make me healthy and honest and unflappable. Do you have any sage advice?-Ambitious Sagittarius." Dear Ambitious: I've noticed that many Sagittarians are feeling an unprecedented curiosity about how to enhance their lives by boosting the benevolence they express. Here's a tip from astrologer Chani Nicholas: "Source your sense of self from your integrity in every interaction." Here's another tip from Anais Nin: "The worse the state of the world grows, the more intensely I try for inner perfection and power. I fight for a small world of humanity and tenderness."

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Time does not

necessarily heal San all wounds.

If you wait around Jose: passively, hoping that the mere passage of months will magically fix your twists and smooth out your tweaks, you're shirking your responsibility. The truth is, you need to be fully engaged in the process.

18+ You've got to feelMegaMates.com deeply and think hard about how to diminish your pain, and then take practical action when your wisdom shows you what will actually work. Now is an excellent time to upgrade your commitment to this sacred quest.

1-408-514-1111

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The questions you've

been asking aren't bad or wrong. But they're not exactly relevant or helpful, either. That's why the answers you've been receiving aren't of maximum use. Try these questions instead. 1.

What experience or information would you need to heal your divided sense of loyalty? 2. How can you attract an influence that would motivate you to make changes you can't quite accomplish under your own power? 3. Can you ignore or even dismiss the 95 percent of your fear that's imaginary so you'll be able to focus on the 5 percent that's truly worth meditating on? 4. If I assured you that you have the intelligence to beautify an ugly part of your world, how would you begin?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A scuffle you've been waging turns out to be the wrong scuffle. It has distracted you from giving your full attention to a more winnable and worthwhile tussle. My advice?

Don't waste energy feeling remorse about the energy you've wasted. In fact, be grateful for the training you've received. The skills you've been honing while wrestling with the misleading complication will serve you well when you switch your focus to the more important issue. So are you ready to shift gears? Start mobilizing your crusade to engage with the more winnable and worthwhile tussle.

Homework: What was your last major amazement? What do you predict will be the next one? Testify at Freewillastrology.com.
