Past is Present For my whole life, the story our family told about our great uncle’s death was that it was from a car crash.

He was 21, a UC Berkeley engineering student at the time. When we’d go to greatgrandma’s house, his room was untouched from the year he died. His textbook was still open on his desk; a model airplane sat unfinished beside it. It wasn’t until I was in my 20s that my mom told me what the rest of my family refused to confront. Police killed my great uncle while he was robbing a liquor store to support his heroin habit.

This was in the 1960s, decades before I was born, but the family is still too ashamed or in too much denial about it. It makes me wonder what else this family is hiding.

This example and comments are fine; however, Rocha’s own campaign fliers give the same message: that he beats up opponents with unfounded emotional bias. I didn’t vote for him.

I feel a candidate must demonstrate that they will work with others, regardless of differences. End the bile.

That Mr. Rocha would immediately place blame on Ms Ellenberg without first investigating, or at least speaking with her, calls into question his judgement. Is this the kind of person one wants on the county Board of Supervisors?

Then Mr. Rocha again shoots from the hip regarding dollars raised

by Ms Ellenberg. Another false claim. When a politician lets emotion rule actions before knowing the facts, I think voters should take notice.

THE FLY

Guynn’s A-blazing

Dan Pulcrano

SVNEWS

A man whose alleged harassment—in the form of creepy, late-night emails and phone calls—prompted Morgan Hill Unified schools trustee AMY PORTER-JENSEN to resign and obtain a court protective order in 2015 is now running for a seat on the seven-member They board. ROBERT GUYNN is Did competing against What?

CAROL GITTENS and JILL PROVENCAL for SEND TIPS TO FLY@ Porter-Jensen’s spot, METRONEWS. which remained open for COM a year after her departure because the notoriously fractious governing body couldn’t agree on whom to appoint in the interim.

Guynn’s correspondence with his friend and MHUSD trustee DAVID GERARD came to light when Fly’s colleagues at the Morgan Hill Times unearthed a trove of emails between the two in which the latter—using his district email address—Porter-Jensen “Bully PJ,” said she had a “big ass” and wore “slut shoes.”

It was humiliating for the subject of their disparagement, who was in her mid-30s at the time and new to politics.

“I feel I was a witness to it because I would get calls late at night from Amy, who would tell me about this guy calling her at midnight and being incredibly inappropriate,” says DONNA RUEBUSCH, the only other woman on the board at the time and for a year thereafter. “She was worried about her safety.”

That Guynn has the gall to try to replace her is “a slap in the face for all women,” adds Santa Clara County Board of Education trustee Claudia Rossi. Rossi, a former Morgan Hill Unified trustee, is defending her own seat on the county board against another active participant in the GuynnGerard email chains: GINO BORGIOLI. To add insult to injury, when Ruebusch tried to get the board to authorize the district to represent Porter-Jensen so she could finish her case against Guynn, trustees Borgioli, Gerard and RICK BADILLO—who was arrested in 2012 on suspicion of beating his wife—voted against it.

OPPOSITES ATTACK John Cox and Gavin Newsom met for their first, and probably only, one-on-one standoff before Election Day.

Face to Face Gubernatorial candidates Newsom, Cox disagree about pretty much everything

BY BEN CHRISTOPHER

T

HE TWO MEN competing to be the next governor of California met for their first (and, alas, probably only) one-on-one standoff.

If you didn’t see it, that’s because the showdown—which was structured more as a spirited conversation than your standard dueling podiums-style debate—was on the radio, hosted by reporter Scott Shafer, out of the San Francisco-based station KQED. And if you didn’t hear it, that’s because it was on a Monday.

At 10am.

On a federal holiday.

It’s a low-profile treatment for what may be the sole opportunity many voters have to evaluate the two candidates vying to become

the next leader of the fifth largest economy on Earth. But then again, few voters will have a difficult time distinguishing Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, a liberal Democrat and former mayor of San Francisco, from John Cox, a conservative Republican with the backing of President Trump.

On housing, both candidates agreed that a shortage of production was to blame, but they offered very different solutions. Newsom argued that local governments often exert too much influence blocking production. “There’s a certain point where the state of California needs to intervene.”

Cox disagreed, arguing that the focus needs to be on reducing the cost of adding new units by cutting state environmental regulations.

The debate over housing quickly turned feisty as Newsom pointed to

a number of his proposed solutions, including boosting the state’s lowincome housing tax credit and allowing local governments to skim property tax revenue for affordable housing, and said that his opponent, Cox, offers only “an illusory strategy where he criticizes and identifies problems” but offers no substantive fixes.

Cox countered that all of Newsom’s solutions rely on “more government.”

Despite Cox’s best efforts to keep the conversation focused on breadand-butter economic issues and his history of “fighting against the establishment,” Shafer asked about his views on gay marriage. In 2007, Cox said that allowing same-sex couples to marry would "open the floodgates to polygamy and bestiality.”

“I’ve evolved on those issues … just like Barack Obama,” said Cox. When asked about gun control, the candidate criticized the shift in the conversation toward “guns and all of these social issues,” arguing that he is not running for governor to change state law on those topics, but is instead focused on affordability.

Cox was only too happy to talk about Proposition 6, the ballot measure that would repeal the recent

increase in the state gas tax and other driver fees, which he has made a crux of his campaign.

Cox argued that the state’s Democratic leadership “didn’t want to do the tough job” of eliminating wasteful spending and cut environmental regulations and raised taxes and fees instead. He insisted that under his leadership the state would be able to fund necessary road repairs without the new revenue.

“We’re going to use the money efficiently and cut good deals with contractors,” he said.

Newsom once again called that plan “illusory.”

“His plan is to make things worst,” he said. “You can eliminate every single position at Caltrans (the state transportation agency) and still struggle to find the money.”

Likewise, Newsom seized the opportunity to turn the discussion of the state’s sanctuary policy, which limits local and state law-enforcement agencies’ cooperation with federal immigration authorities, into an opportunity to paint Cox as President Trump’s acolyte.

“He believes very passionately in building the wall, he believes in the elimination of sanctuary policy,” said Newsom. “Trump would have an advocate in Sacramento if he becomes the next governor.”

Cox ignored the reference to the president but said he would push for a repeal of California's sanctuary state law. “If somebody is here illegally and they’re engaged in criminal activities, I think it’s up to public officials to kick them out,” he said.

Similarly, the two candidates also offered different views on the state’s recent criminal justice reforms, including the recent elimination of cash bail.

“You’re replacing a private business with a lot more state workers,” said Cox, whereas Newsom called the new law “an extraordinary step forward and a civil rights reform.”

And while Newsom celebrated the state’s climate change policy, saying the state should play a “role not just nationally but internationally to lead,” Cox was more circumspect. He agreed that the planet was warming and that human activity “may very well” be partially to blame, but he questioned whether the benefit of dramatically cutting emissions across the state was

worth the cost to electricity ratepayers and drivers.

That this year’s governor’s race will only feature one debate during the general election (there was a handful before the June primary) is unusual by historical standards. But it likely represents the new normal. As the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday, no race for governor or U.S. Senate has featured more than one post-primary debate since 2012. That may be a consequence of the growing political polarization of the state.

Cox’s strategy during the debate mirrors the one he has employed for months on the campaign trail.

He has tried to saddle Newsom with responsibility for California’s high gas taxes, its high poverty rate, housing costs and every other economic woe facing the state. As a social conservative who opposes abortion, Cox has largely steered clear of those issues.

“This campaign is about change vs. status quo,” he said. “Gavin has been part of the political class that has led this state downward.”

There’s a poetic irony that Newsom should be held responsible for so many of the state’s problems, given that he has occasionally griped that the post of lieutenant governor offers little in the way of actual responsibility. But as a Bay Area Democrat, Newsom certainly represents more of a continuation of current policy than Cox. For his part, Newsom also took a familiar tack in the debate, arguing that Cox was “in lockstep with Trump and Trumpism.” To hear Newsom tell it, Cox is the president’s Midwestern alter-ego: a millionaire outsider with no political experience and ideas that are both unrealistic and unacceptable to most Californians.

According to a recent poll from the Public Policy Institute of California, Newsom’s strategy appears more likely to succeed—and not just because he’s a Democrat in a blue state. Among likely voters, 61 percent disapprove of the way the Trump is handling the job. Meanwhile, by a slim 50- to 47-percent margin, more voters than not believe that California is headed in the right direction.

An inside look at San Jose politics

MEASURING UP Mayor Sam Liccardo has been stumping for two bond measures, V and T, which would raise money for affordable housing and infrastructure, respectively.

San Jose Voters to Decide Fate of 4 Local Measures Come Election Day, San Jose voters will vote on four citywide measures.

Here’s a look at what local voters will see on their Nov. 6 ballots.

Measure T Measure T would put up to $650 million toward the city’s emergency preparedness, public safety and infrastructure, including upgrades of 911 communications and repairing bridges vulnerable to earthquake damage. At least $300 million of the money from the bonds would go to repaving potholes and fixing streets that are in the worst condition.

Up to $50 million could be put toward conservation in Coyote Valley focused on preventing flooding and water contamination. The average levy would be 11 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. The additional funds are vital because San Jose’s backlog of unmet and deferred repairs and

rebuilding is at $1.4 billion, the City Council notes in its resolution putting the measure on the November ballot.

The list of infrastructure that needs repair includes a 70-year-old storm sewer system, 32,000 storm drains and 1,100 miles of pipes in need of upgrades to prevent flooding and spillover issues, according to supporters.

Measure V Measure V would authorize $450 million in bonds to build belowmarket-rate housing in San Jose, with an average levy of 8 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. The money could be used to buy land for housing developments, build new housing and rehabilitate existing apartments or homes to create long-term affordable housing. While supporters say it’s a crucial step to ensuring affordable housing for the city that would help save money in

the long run, opponents argue it is an additional burden on taxpayers.

The city resolution putting the measure on the ballot notes that almost half of San Jose renters and owners at or below the household area median income paid more than 30 percent of their income toward housing costs. The resolution also points to the homelessness crisis, which leaves 74 percent of San Jose’s 4,350 homeless residents unsheltered on any given night.

Given the frequent use by homeless people of public services such as 911 response and hospital emergency rooms, supporters of Measure V say its approval would save taxpayers more than $19,0000 per person annually.

Measure S This measure, a charter revision, would change the way the city handles large public works projects.

BY ALISHA GREEN Instead of awarding contracts to the “lowest responsible bidder,” the city would hire contractors determined to offer the “best value.”

That distinction would allow the city to prioritize contractors known for higher-quality work and would give economically disadvantaged companies a better shot at winning government contracts.

Measure S would up the bidding threshold from $100,000 to $600,000, adjusted annually for inflation, lower the design-build contract threshold from $5 million to $1 million and allow the city to modernize public noticing.

Measure U Measure U’s purpose is twofold. It would remove the council’s ability to set their own salaries, and it would allow the council to place competing ordinances on the same ballot in local elections.

FRESH VOICE Ingrid Rojas Contreras will read from her debut novel Oct. 18 at Kepler’s Books.

Violent Humor Novelist finds the funny in growing up under a drug lord’s rule

BY GARY SINGH

A

DARK ELEGIAC story about young girls growing up in the Pablo Escobar era of drug lord violence in Colombia, Fruit of the Drunken Tree, the debut novel by Ingrid Rojas Contreras, grew out of her own life experiences. Next week, on Thursday, Oct. 18, Rojas Contreras will be one of seven authors reading at Story is the Thing, a quarterly series at Kepler’s Books.

In the book, the lives of two sisters, Chula and Cassandra, ages 7 and 9, along with that of their maid, Petrona, 13, anchor the story.

The sisters live in Bogotá in a gated two-story house with all the comforts, while Petrona lives in a guerrilla-occupied slum, caught up in whether or not she should work for the guerrillas. One by one, car-bombings, kidnappings and political assassinations take place around them. The experience of violence becomes normalized, just like the weather. Following the kidnapping of their father, Chula and Cassandra, along with their

mother, eventually escape to Los Angeles.

During the era in question, machismo ruled the local landscape, with Escobar often depicted by the media with soap opera intrigue.

A strange gangster-savior complex seemed to flourish, with some people even holding Escobar in high regard. But rarely does one hear the stories of women who survived those gruesome times.

“The reality of living in that time was that he was just something that we had to deal with and had to think about, but he wasn’t the center of our lives,” says Rojas Contreras. “And I do think the perspective of women in this time have been lost. And I wanted to correct that.”

In the process, the book portrays with subtle black humor the origins of intergenerational trauma, PTSD, and how the experience of violence at an early age can anesthetize children into emotional convalescence.

Chula becomes desensitized to the surrounding horrors and views her own detachment as a virtue. In one

scene, Cassandra chews the arms and legs off her Barbie doll, then the sisters pretend Barbie lost her limbs running from the guerrillas. In another passage, Chula hears about Escobar cutting off the tongue of someone who betrayed him. She imagines that if her own tongue was chopped off, at least then she would finally have a good excuse to remain alone with her thoughts. In still another scene, Chula thinks that if the ceiling fan falls while the family is sleeping, it would chop and kill them, but if she only lost one hand, then it would have its own casket with an epitaph: “Here lies the hand of Chula Santiago, courageous survivor.”

As such, the novel suggests that if a child grows up surrounded by violence or conflict, she can aspire to transform her trauma into creativity.

As she grows older, she might develop a keen ability to see humor in the darkness and rise above the kind of material that would horrify most other people. Rojas Contreras says that when she first came to the US at age 18, her jokes were understood as too dark for normal Americans.

“It just made me realize how different the point of view is, and how different Colombian humor is, and the kinds of things embedded in our cultural imagination and the things that we draw from to make jokes, or what’s funny to us, has been moved with the violence,” she says. “It's almost like that register of humor or that register of conversation gets shifted. I think for American readers, but also just in my own experience, Americans that I met, it was troubling for them to see that.”

At the same time, Fruit of the Drunken Tree succeeds at depicting the sadness of the refugee experience and the inevitability of the transnational condition. More often than not, native-born Americans only want to know the stories of immigrants beginning at the moment they enter the country, without understanding the myriad predicaments that led to immigration.

“We don’t really consider what is causing them to cross,” says Rojas Contreras. “So I think it was important for me to tell a story that just didn’t start with the crossing and how did they become Americans, but just it started with what caused this family to come to the US.”

Making the Impossible Possible

Redwood City company merges high tech and food in a juicy, meatless burger BY AVI SALEM

W

HILE AT THE Paris Climate Accord in December 2015, Patrick Brown noticed something peculiar about the mass of environmentally conscious politicians and ardent activists attending the momentous summit.

Despite spending days advocating for more stringent regulations around greenhouse gas emissions, he observed that many of these conservationists would end their day not with a salad, but instead with a juicy steak.

While there’s nothing inherently wrong with prime rib, it’s a bit of a daring choice for environmental advocates: Livestock alone generate 7.1 gigatons of greenhouse gases each year, about the same amount as the entire global transportation sector, and are also the biggest driving factor of biodiversity loss in the world according to a 2013 report by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations. (Animal populations also declined at an astonishing 58 percent between 1970 and 2012 alone.) And Brown says that’s no secret, either.

“It’s very hard for people to make changes in practices that are a huge source of pleasure in their lives and

that are very ingrained in their patterns,” Brown explains. “We could have every person as educated about this problem as the environmentalists in Paris who, just like them, would all go out and have a steak anyway.”

So if environmentalists at the most important climate summit on Earth can’t give up steak for the benefit of the planet, where does that leave the rest of us?

A few years prior in 2011, Brown quit what he describes as his “dream job” at Stanford University to answer that very question. A lifelong educator, the professor emeritus of biochemistry and co-founder of the open-access Public Library of Science knew that a solution didn’t lie in trying to convert

the masses to veganism. Instead, it stemmed from giving people what they want: more meat.

“The most important scientific problem today is identifying what makes meat delicious, and so our job is to serve meat lovers,” he says.

“The only way to solve this problem is to make food that not only has a lower environmental impact, but also does a better job of giving consumers what they want: delicious, nutritious, convenient and affordable food.”

Enter the Impossible Burger, a plant-based patty that looks, feels, and tastes just like beef. (It even “bleeds” when it’s raw.) Brown, the founder and CEO of Redwood City-based

FALL DINING IMPOSSIBLE BURGER

GREEN CHUCK Patrick Brown, the man behind the Impossible Burger, says getting meat eaters on board with a meatless alternative will go a long way toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Impossible Foods, is leading a food revolution that seeks to satiate the carnivore in all of us—without ever killing or harming a sentient being— and hopes to solve critical issues like food security, global warming, deforestation and animal welfare along the way.

Where better to start than with an all-American staple like the hamburger? As one of the country’s most popular foods, ground beef is consumed by Americans at an astonishing rate of 5 billion pounds per year. About half of that is sold in restaurants. So while the concept of the burger is classically American, Impossible Foods is a true Silicon Valley invention. Defining innovation, it’s changing both the definition and limitations of meat as we know it to create a product that uses 75 percent less water, 97 percent less land, and 87 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions per patty. What could be more disruptive than that?

Celeste Holz-Schietinger, director of research at Impossible Foods, says that making the impossible

17

possible begins with the science.

First and foremost a research and design company, Impossible Foods spent its first five years pouring its time, money and resources into creating a scientific platform that would understand what key biological components made meat taste like meat and how the aromas, textures and flavors could be reproduced by plants.

“People love to eat meat because it’s craveable, there’s a delicious flavor, and people love the sensory experience: You see it cook, hear the sizzle, and of course smell and taste it,” she says. “What we’re doing is breaking that down to the sensory experiences, going down to a molecular level and identifying what aspects of meat drive that.”

The secret sauce that makes the Impossible Burger a reality is an essential molecular building block called heme (pronounced heem).

Heavily abundant in animal tissue in the form of hemoglobin, heme is responsible for giving meat its

viral by nature: If a great burger arrives that’s new and provocatively named, it’s something you can share with your friends.”

Ron Levi, owner and head chef of The Funny Farm in San Jose, found out about the Impossible Burger through a more traditional form of advertisement, specifically a poster hanging inside Wahlburgers in downtown Palo Alto. He’d heard about the product before, but wasn’t convinced until he took the first bite. A chef and restaurateur for 35 years, Levi explains that he’s never come across a veggie patty that actually satiated the customer’s desire for a burger.

Since adding the Impossible Burger to his restaurant’s menu a few months back, he’s been amazed by the demand, which he estimates constitutes 10 percent of all burger sales, something even he admits is a lot for a plant-based patty.

“Having been in the industry forever, I’ve come across a lot of veggie patties, and I never really liked any of them,” he says. “When I tried it, everything I had heard was true, and I’m a burger fanatic.

I eat Impossible Burgers every now and then in lieu of a regular burger because they taste great.”

The latest phase of the meatless meat revolution is in the form of a state-of-the-art production facility that Impossible Foods opened in Oakland last fall. The goal: churning out one million pounds of plantbased meat a month to distribute across the nation to hungry vegans, vegetarians and especially adventurous carnivores. Brown sees a very bright future for the Impossible Burger, and he hopes that consumers and agriculture farmers— needed to help make the impossible a reality—will share his vision of being the best meat in the world, ultimately helping the brand expand its offerings to include Impossible cheese, milk, fish and poultry.

“Being ahead of the curve with a next-gen technology—one that’s better for consumers, food security and the environment—is an awesome opportunity,” he says. “If it’s going to happen anyway, you want to be leading it, not its victim.”

satisfying, craveable taste. Scientists at Impossible Foods discovered that the same meaty flavor could be achieved by supplementing heme from the roots of legumes, specifically soybeans. Fermented in large quantities with yeast, legume-derived heme is a bloodred liquid that tastes metallic when raw and meaty when cooked.

When combined with a few other simple, naturally derived ingredients like wheat, potato protein, konjac, xanthan gum and coconut oil, a burger is born—one whose flavor, texture and aroma truly does mimic its animal-based counterpart.

“The molecule-to-molecule breakdown of heme in a cow or the Impossible Burger is identical,” HolzSchietinger explains. “Heme binds to iron, which is actually what gives it its red color and metallic flavor, and upon cooking gives the Impossible Burger a roasted, caramelized flavor.”

Taste test aside, investors who are seeing meat production as an increasingly global problem are buying into the Impossible Burger’s unique, scientifically backed formula: The company has secured $450 million in funding from big name investors like Khosla Ventures, Temasek and even Bill Gates—$300 million of which was raised in the last 18 months alone—and their product is being served in over 2,500 restaurants, onboard Air New Zealand, and most recently in White Castle restaurants across the Midwest and on the East Coast.

The Impossible Burger hasn’t been brought to grocery store shelves yet— but that’s for a pretty smart reason, explains David Lee, Impossible’s chief operating and financial officer.

The Impossible Burger’s unique appeal to millennials, arguably the world’s most influential trendsetters, is what’s ultimately causing the plant-based burgers to fly off the griddle, he argues. Because who better to experience the new Impossible Burger for than captive audiences on the ’gram?

“The grocery store is generally not an Instagrammable moment,” Lee says, adding that the consumer movement is key in the Impossible Burger’s success strategy. “Eating together in restaurants is social and

ROLL UP Manresa Bread will serve confections and sandwiches in its new Campbell cafe, which is slated to open this fall.

Pure Bread Don’t call it a comeback—good bread will never go out of style BY JOHN DYKE

B

READ HAS BEEN under attack for nearly 50 years now. Beginning in 1972, with the publication of Dr. Robert Atkins’ treatise on the alleged virtues of eating meat and cutting out carbs. Dr. Atkins’ Diet Revolution demonized bread and championed a high-protein diet. While the book languished in obscurity at first, it gained serious traction in the late ’90s and early ’00s. After an updated version of his original book was released in 1997 it topped the New York Times best-sellers list for more than five years.

The Atkins name now competes with a number of other carbo-phobic diets, such as the keto and paleo meal plans—and then, of course, there is the anti-gluten movement, which can be life altering for some with certain

conditions, but which has also been adopted by plenty of folks without gluten sensitivity thanks to celebrity endorsements from the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Gwyneth Paltrow.

But bread is our friend—and it has been for quite some time.

Archaeologists know that bread was the cornerstone of the ancient Egyptian diet. At its height, the Roman Empire established a free grain dole for citizens with the aim of fostering stability across its sprawling territory. Conversely, when bread shortages reached a critical point in France in the late 18th century, the people rioted in the streets and set the stage for the French Revolution. It was only after a revolution of another sort that bread began its transformation from hero to villain.

Before the Industrial Revolution all bread was essentially a “sourdough,” meaning it was naturally fermented.

The fermentation process has many health benefits, aids in digestion and gives bread delicious tang. However,

flour is important, because we feel it increases the flavor, improves the texture and crumb,” Ruzicka explains. “It gives us more control in the creative process. We can decide how coarse, or fine, we mill the flour, which dramatically changes the hydration level and the final crumb of our breads.”

Manresa Bread has two brick-andmortar locations (Los Gatos and Los Altos) to go along with their weekly appearances at the downtown Campbell and Palo Alto farmers markets. They are also slated to open a third brick-and-mortar location this fall—this time it will be an all-day café, and feature some exciting new offerings such as sandwiches, pastries and seasonal specials to go along with their classic sourdoughs. They are even planning on featuring a sourdough doughnut.

I wanted to know why Ruzicka goes to such lengths to make something as simple as bread, when there are so many shortcuts bakers can take to produce loaves.

“Well, number one for sure is flavor,” she says. “But number two is digestibility. You do feel different when eating bread from freshly milled flour that has been fermented with sourdough because it’s that long, slow fermentation that breaks down the flour and makes those nutrients accessible to us.”

For too long bread has been made to feel more like a cheat day food, rather than a basic part of fundamental dietary needs. It’s time to get back to basics when it comes to nutrition and pay heed to the lessons we’ve learned from our ancestors. And besides, what’s more irresistible than a freshly baked loaf coming straight from the oven with just a simple pat of butter? Nothing.

That’s what.

there’s just one caveat: it takes time.

The average slice of Wonder Bread has more than 30 separate ingredients. Many of the additives found in this type of bread were put there to speed up production and increase shelf life. They include calcium sulfate (a.k.a. gypsum), which is essentially plaster, and calcium propionate which has been shown to cause ulcers, migraines and behavioral problems in children.

Fortunately, in addition to bringing us hand-painted signs, reclaimed wood and farm-to-table meat and veggies, the back-to-the-land movement that has been sweeping into big cities across the country has also spurred a new generation of artisan bakers who are rejecting machine-made “bread”—opting instead for the good, old-fashioned method of flour, water, salt and yeast.

In downtown San Jose, Meteora Bakehouse (a.k.a. 2nd Story Bakeshop) cooks up fresh loaves daily, while the Brunello family, owners of the local chain Le Boulanger, have been serving up their family’s San Francisco sourdough recipe for nearly a century.

Then there is Manresa Bread, an offshoot of chef David Kinch’s three Michelin-starred Manresa restaurant (which recently reopened after a devastating fire). At Manresa Bread, head baker Avery Ruzicka has been slowly churning out handcrafted artisan loaves since 2013 at their commissary bakery close to downtown Los Gatos.

“All of our bread is a sourdough,” Ruzicka says with pride as she shows me her giant collection of freshly fed yeasts. They obsessively feed all their yeast starters (or “mothers” as they are called) on a regimented schedule.

Bakers work in shifts, 24 hours a day, coddling the cultures, as they are the lifeblood of Manresa’s business.

“I’m not turning my nose up at commercially yeasted bread,” Ruzicka says. “Any bread that anybody’s taken time and energy to make is going to be million times better than what you’d get at the grocery store.

But here we are trying to make all naturally leavened bread using our fresh-milled organic flours.”

Manresa mills 90 percent of their all-organic grains in-house, using their own mill, which they acquired this past spring. “Milling our own

LIQUID LUNCH Spicy, tangy, brothy and bubbling hot— there’s nothing better than warm soup on a cold day.

Soup’s On As the seasons change, it’s time to put down those forks and pick up a spoon

BY JOHN DYKE

D

IETS HAVE ALWAYS been heavily influenced by the seasons.

Historically, summer has been associated with eating fresh summer squash and berries, while the winter found people turning to citrus and root vegetables.

Unfortunately, while our globalized marketplace, refrigeration and other preservation techniques have given us affordable access to all kinds of food yearround, these technologies have all come at a cost. Too many now associate the shorter daylight hours with the sickly sweet aroma of pumpkin spice.

I must admit, although the idea of eating seasonally is very romantic, sometimes I just want a fresh strawberry in the middle of January.

However, I have managed to keep the idea of seasons alive in one area of my diet: soup. I basically have a soup season (i.e., winter and fall) and a nonsoup season (i.e., summer and spring).

While that may sound simple enough, it is often difficult for me. I love soup—but the idea of schvitzing into a bowl of pho in the middle of a 90-degree day is not appealing.

As such, the changing of the calendar from September to October is a very joyous time of year for me.

Soup is officially back on the menu!

And to help us get our slurp back on, here’s a list of some of the best places to get all souped-up. From birria to tom yum—and almost everything in-between.

birria is a goat soup traditionally reserved for special occasions like baptisms and weddings, as well as holidays such as Christmas and Easter. La Birrieria, on San Jose’s Eastside, has been stirring up the real deal since 1986. Their goat, which is bathed in a delicious chili-infused broth and served with housemade corn tortillas, comes out fork tender and does wonders for a cold… or a crudo.

Borscht Samovar Deli & Catering 1077 Independence Dr, Mountain View 650.969.5327; bestrussianfood.com A sour Eastern European soup with a delicious ensemble of earthy vegetables—such as cabbage, carrots, onions and potatoes—borscht isn’t in great supply in these parts, but you can find it. Its distinctive bright red appearance comes from the beetroots, and while most of the ingredients are vegetarian friendly, the base is usually a beef stock. At Samovar Deli they serve their borscht with a small bowl of Russian smetana (sour cream) and rye bread to make for a more complete meal.

Bun bo Hue Bun bo Hue An Nam Multiple locations This specialty Vietnamese soup has its origins in the former capital city of Hue. With its delicate balance of sour, salty and spicy, this beefy and brothy bowl is one of the more interesting soups on the list. The gold standard for years has always been the aptly named local chain Bun bo Hue An Nam. They are renowned for their amazing broth and one specialty ingredient: ox pizzle (penis). Yes, that magical ingredient was enough to draw in the Andrew Zimmern of the Travel Channel show, Bizarre Foods America.

While diners can order their soup sans pizzle, I would recommend trying it at least once—if for no other reason than to spice up the Instagram feed.

Cioppino The Fish Market Multiple locations thefishmarket.com A Fisherman’s Wharf favorite, cioppino features a slow-cooked Italian-flavored tomato broth and, when done properly, comes loaded with seafood. The Fish

Market has been my longtime standard for anything dealing with fresh seafood in the South Bay, and their cioppino is on point. The hallmark of any good cioppino is the Dungeness crab that comes along with it, and Fish Market even offers up a “lazy man’s” version (my favorite) where, for a nominal $3 fee, the crab comes out pre-shelled.

Clam Chowder Billy’s Boston Chowder House 29 E Main St., Los Gatos 408.827.4005; bostonchowderhouse.com Though this was once a traditional Friday dish, clam chowder—or chowdah for those New England ex-pats living amongst us—is practically a meal in a bowl and should be on the menu every day of the week. A creamy broth, big chunks of actual clams and perfectly cooked hunks of potato are the hallmarks of a good bowl. With its silken broth and fresh, daily-shucked clams, Billy’s makes this one of the better, and most authentic, bowls around.

Gazpacho Tigelleria Organic Restaurant 76 E Campbell Ave, San Jose 408.884.3808; tigelleria.com This classic Spanish recipe is the one soup on the list that will make me break my summer fast. Gazpacho is made from blended tomatoes and other vegetables and served cold. Tigelleria’s version comes out with an Italian flare and features onions and bell peppers to go along with the standard tomato base.

It’s refreshing any time of year, but even more so on a blistering hot summer day.

Gumbo Poor House Bistro 91 S Autumn St, San Jose 408.292.5837; poorhousebistro.com Gumbo is so popular down in Louisiana that it’s actually their official state cuisine.

Menudo Las Cazuelas 55 Race St, San Jose 408.293.0115; lascazuelasrestaurant.net This Mexican tripe and hominy soup is renowned as a powerful hangover remedy, which explains why most Mexi spots only serve it up on weekends. However, at Las Cazuelas it is a daily special. The savory and spicy chili broth pairs perfectly with their plentiful tripe. Add the full complement of accoutrements (i.e., chili pods, onions, and Mexican oregano) for the true experience.

Pho Pho Ha Noi 969 Story Rd, San Jose 408.239.0888 Pho Dao 1631 N Capitol Ave, San Jose 408.251.1917; pho-dao.com San Jose’s massive Vietnamese population—the largest outside of Vietnam—makes pho, in my opinion, the official soup of the South Bay. There is practically a pho shop in every neighborhood. While most diners are only familiar with the more available South Vietnamese version of this beefy soup, with its star jasmine and white onion-flavored base, the lesser known North Vietnamese version, which has more of a gingery and green onion base, is also worth exploring.

Whichever direction diners choose, there’s an amazing spot for both. My favorite

YUM YUM The tom yum and tom kha are both delicious soupy choices at Thai Love You.

Northern-style is Pho Ha Noi in San Jose’s Little Saigon neighborhood, while my favorite Southern-style is Pho Dao in the Berryessa neighborhood. Make sure to order the “fresh” noodle option at both, as the wide tender noodles are always the right choice.

Pozole Linda’s Restaurant 1179 E Santa Clara St, San Jose 408.971.8444 While this might be more of a stew than a soup—the differences between being purely academic—I’m going to throw it in because Linda’s version might be the GOAT. Their fork-tender pork shoulder is cooked for hours in a chili-infused broth, resulting in utter culinary perfection.

Factor in the standard hominy and concomitant cabbage, lime and avocado, and diners will have a warm, hearty meal to combat even the coldest of days.

Ramen 3540 Homestead Rd, Santa Clara 408.246.2955; orenchi-ramen.com The unofficial national food of Japan is a tasty favorite for many diners regardless of the weather. Orenchi’s broth is rich, unctuous and has that milky white color that only comes with long hours of cooking. Their chewy noodles are probably the most perfect ramen noodles in the Bay, and the tonkotsu pork slices practically melt in the mouth.

Pro tip: Get there at least 20-30 minutes before opening to reserve a spot. No reservations are taken, and lines can be a bit on the ridiculous side.

Shorba The Mynt 5210 Prospect Rd, San Jose 408.973.9673; themyntsj.com This lesser-known vegetarian Indian soup starts out with a thick, stew-like base of lentils and allows chefs to use their imagination to fill in the rest. The Mynt has done several variations of shorba in the past, but their current variation features roasted pumpkin cubes slowly simmered to perfection.

Tom Yum & Tom Kha Thai Love You 6055 Meridian Ave Ste 100, San Jose 408.268.8499; thailoveyousj.com These ubiquitous Thai soups come in a nice array of options, including chicken, veggie and seafood varieties. However, the base broths have a similar spicy and sour lemongrass-infused flavor. The tom kha has a nice twist of sweetness via the coconut milk. Executive Chef Kunlayakorn “Kat” McCarthy’s hole-in-the-wall, Thai Love You, has some of the more superlative variations I’ve sampled. Her recipes are handed down from her aunt and grandmother to ensure authenticity, while all the locally sourced ingredients assure fresh taste.

EDWIN DROOD

Thu-Sun, noon, Free MACLA, San Jose

Thu, 7:30pm, $36+ 3Below Theatres & Lounge

Girl, and boy, put your records on at MACLA’s Classic Tracks: Migrating Rhythms. Artist Carlos Rolón (whose pseudonym is Dzine) has installed a record player and sound system ready to play your favorite albums.

If you happen to be in the neighborhood without a stack of vinyl on hand, he’s also collected dozens of records and displayed them along the wall. You’ll find artists that represent the Bay Area’s diversity—like La Lupe, Ray Barretto and Los Tigres del Norte. Rolón’s trademark floral paintings adorn one side of the gallery. He drew inspiration from the wallpaper in his parents’ bedroom. Thru Nov. 11. (JE)

When Charles Dickens gave up the ghost in 1870, he left more than a literary legacy in his wake.

He also left an unfinished novel.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood tells the story of a suspicious death and the ensuing investigation.

But there’s a hitch: Dickens died before he had a chance to write the ending. Several writers have since wrapped up Drood’s mystery. This weekend, 3Below stages one of the most interesting continuations; The Mystery of Edwin Drood by Rupert Holmes is a musical comedy in which the audience gets to choose Drood’s killer. It was the first Broadway musical to have multiple endings. (NV)

IRISH ARTS & RECORD SWAP 10am, Free WRITERS FESTIVAL Sat, Streetlight Records, San Jose Fri-Sun, 10am, $10 Los Gatos Lodge, Los Gatos

Back in October 2016, Dubliner Catherine Barry and Irish Culture Bay Area teamed up to organize the first Irish Arts & Writers Festival in Los Gatos.

The city was chosen for its many smaller venues and its 23-year relationship with sister city Listowel, Ireland, where Writers’ Week has been held for the past 40 years. This weekend, the festival returns for its third outing. Fifteen Irish writers and poets will come to the Bay Area to join their local counterparts for a weekend of performances, readings and discussion. (YK)

Whether you’re looking for a rare pressing by a favorite artist or just hoping to thumb through crates alongside like-minded vinyl lovers, Streetlight Records’ annual Record Swap is the place to be this weekend. Spilling out of the record store and into the parking lot, there is sure to be a healthy selection of rock, jazz, punk, classical, hip-hop and more. The store itself is throwing down by pulling records out of storage and more than a dozen private vendors will also be swapping and selling from their own collections. (CK)

FLASHBACK Small Alison and her father, Bruce, examine potential treasures from a neighbor’s barn in a memory from Alison’s childhood.

Funeral Party ‘Fun Home’ is thoughtful, entertaining, though many questions go unanswered

BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

T

HE SPOTLIGHT shines on a woman standing alone at her desk. Alison (Moira Stone) introduces herself to us from the middle of an empty stage. She’s a cartoonist in search of the perfect caption to describe her childhood.

One of her panels appears on a projection screen behind her. In it, her father holds her younger self aloft on his knees. She extends her arms out wide to mimic the wings of an airplane.

This and other rare moments of fatherdaughter connection punctuate Fun Home, the musical adaptation of Alison Bechdel’s graphic novel.

Fun Home—short for the funeral home her father Bruce (James Lloyd Reynolds) runs—is an autobiography containing two coming-out stories. We immediately learn that Bruce’s is tragic.

He was a gay man who darted in and out of the closet until he committed suicide. Alison’s is tragicomic. Only a few months before her father dies, it dawns on her that she’s a lesbian.

During the scenes that take place before his death, the musical expresses Alison’s wry take on life. She was a bookish tomboy, preferring jeans and sneakers to dresses. Her sense of humor, though, is tempered by the sweet and often justifiably sentimental exploration of Alison’s grief.

She’s too sad to look back in anger.

Alison puzzles through the strange and secretive aspects of her family life by summoning younger aspects of herself to the stage. There’s Small Alison (Lila Gold), a pre-adolescent, and Medium Alison (Erin Kommor), who is collegeage. In her later adult incarnation, she’s the ringmaster of her own memory, shaping each scene on stage and in the pages of her book. By drawing parallels between her story and Bruce’s, Alison investigates longstanding questions but rarely finds satisfactory answers.

Helen (Crissy Guerrero), her mother, was cognizant of her husband’s homosexuality but stayed married to him nonetheless. When Medium Alison asks her why she didn’t leave him, her mother sings “Days and Days,” a plaintive and confessional aria. She accepted the role of wife and mother, which to her meant submitting to the daily routine of maintaining a household. The days went by, and she went along with them passively.

This response also suggests Helen’s dedication to keeping up the illusion of a marriage for her and her kids’ sake.

But what Alison ultimately wants to

understand is why Bruce, knowing that his daughter was gay, couldn’t bring himself to confide in her?

It’s clear that she admired her father as much as she craved his approval.

But she was also wary of his frequent moodiness, when he could be angry or distant. Alison struggles with the idea of whether she is exactly like her father or nothing at all like him.

What character traits has she inherited from him? We don’t find out if she has ever suffered from depression or felt suicidal herself. As a musical, Fun Home limits its approach to these kinds of questions. A memory returns in song but frequently leaves crucial biographical material off stage.

In one early scene, Small Alison’s brothers appear with her in “Come to the Fun Home,” a boisterous number inspired by the Jackson 5. After that, they never grow up. How did they respond to their father’s death, to Alison’s coming out? We don’t know.

Fun Home is, above all, a first-person narrative. Why then does Lisa Kron, who wrote the book and lyrics, include the brothers at all if their only function is to perform a novelty act and then disappear? At its best, the musical conveys—to straight and gay audiences alike—the feelings that attend moments of queer self-discovery. Small Alison sings “Ring of Keys,” an ode to the first butch lesbian she ever encounters. “Changing My Major” is Medium Alison’s love song to Joan (Ayelet Firstenberg), the first woman she sleeps with.

Joan may have been Alison’s first love, but what about currently? Is she dating or married? Or did her parents’ relationship make her shy away from intimacy? She’s allowed to be sexual in the past, but coming to terms with her father’s death has subsumed her own life story, at least for the length of the show. Despite occasional flights of whimsy, Fun Home is suffused with a mourner’s sadness. Alison doesn’t solve the riddle of Bruce’s suicide. Instead, the musical supplants his confused life in the closet with her bold artistry that’s both out and proud.

ROCKET MAN Thrilling evocation of the first lunar landing

Red Glare

Damien Chazelle shoots for the moon and hits his mark with ‘First Man’

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

C

OL. NEIL ARMSTRONG, the first man on the moon, was once described by newsman Walter Cronkite as “enigmatic.”

That was generous. During that year of flamboyance, 1969, Armstrong was often considered a colorless Ohio Protestant blank.

As seen in Tom Wolfe’s The Right Stuff (adapted into Phil Kaufman’s 1983 film) the military worked to keep the astronauts seemingly free of personalities, tamping down controversies and downplaying the danger.

In his first thoroughly good movie, First Man director Damien Chazelle (La La Land, Whiplash) compresses seven years in Armstrong’s life—from testing the hypersonic aircraft X-15 to the actual moment of setting foot on the lunar dust—into a little over two hours.

It’s tremendously exciting filmmaking. Here Chazelle is more of a disciple of Steven Soderbergh than Ron Howard. Rather than taking in the vastness of space, Chazelle’s focus narrows to the view through a space capsule window. He makes it all frightening: the glow of hot metal, the rows of toggle switches, the seams of the capsule that look thin enough to split. Chazelle re-creates

the excitement of breaching the atmosphere after a bone-shaking ride and finally emerging into stillness.

It’s all caught with little gestures: the snatching of a floating pencil in zero gravity, or the slap of a bare hand against the window, as a terrific spin almost whirls the Gemini capsule into oblivion.

The casting of Ryan Gosling as Armstrong turns out to be inspired.

In Drive, Gosling’s version of cool had become almost a parody. Here his minimalism and covertness is used perfectly to portray a man who could certainly be remote. The well-worn key Chazelle uses to open Armstrong is perhaps too easy—the idea that the astronaut has an impregnable hurtlocker in which he keeps the sorrow of the death of his baby daughter. But Claire Foy, as Armstrong’s wife Janet, indicates that their marriage could also be a rocky ride. Most married men wouldn’t go to the moon without their wife’s blessing, and Janet has grounds for her simmering anger as her husband walls himself off.

Foy takes what’s usually the dullest

kind of role—the wife who waits—and makes this Janet strong and fascinating.

Her share of bravery is depicted against evocative re-creations of the scale and look of suburban 1960s America. Her own ill-fitting mask of calm starts crumbling as the stakes get higher, and after they lose good friends in the Apollo 8 tragedy. Any time the astronauts are escorted up a gantry and into the capsule, white-suited workers stand at attention, waiting. It has the air of a public execution.

What’s at stake may be obvious, but Chazelle makes it subtle, with the figures at Mission Control (including Kyle Chandler’s excellent Deke Slayton) poring over the recently declassified statement meant to be read to the public if the first moon voyagers were killed or stranded.

There was a protocol: “The president will first call the widows-to-be...” That chilling phrase gives a fresh imagining of what could have happened.

First Man finds dark humor in Buzz Aldrin (Corey Stoll): “I’m just saying what everyone’s thinking.”

“Maybe you shouldn’t do that,” Armstrong says quietly. History is a river, and those pulled by its currents are often too busy swimming for their lives to take the long view of what happens on the banks. Chazelle downplays politics and doesn’t mention Nixon, but he tries for a reverse angle on the heroism. He excerpts an interview with Kurt Vonnegut saying that the NASA money would be better spent making NYC habitable. At a Florida launch sight protest, an actor recites Gil Scott-Heron’s “Whitey on the Moon,” a year before it was actually recorded. Scott-Heron’s opinion was both necessary and witty, but it stays a sidebar, like the five-second glimpse of the Vietnam War on a TV. Anyway, it was only after NASA repeated the missions that some moon fatigue set in. In Superman (1979) when astronauts are in need of rescue, a commentator mutters, “Are they still up there?” First Man isn’t a session of hero worship, but it does help one understand the otherness of Neil Armstrong, the seeming nervelessness that still exemplifies bravery in this age of scoundrels.

Short But Sweet EVERY FILMMAKER HAS to start somewhere, and the 10th annual San Jose International Short Film Festival gives us a chance to spot and celebrate rising talents. Among the 150 films on view: Andrew Chesworth and Bobby Pontilla’s animated “One Small Step” would make a good opener for First Man. Without dialogue, this charmingly animated fantasy tells of the coming of age of Luna Chu, a young San Franciscan who dreams of travel to the moon. Typical sexism that there hasn’t been a woman on the lunar surface yet (Wally Funk, a female astronaut, lost her chance when the cost of the Vietnam War curtailed the Apollo program). This is a dream one would love to see come true.

Randall Christopher’s talky “The Driver is Red” is composed in the earliest form of cartooning, with animated lines that form into a picture as we watch.

It’s the true-life narrative of Mossad agent Zvi Aharoni and his trip to Argentina to capture of one of the worst war San Jose Short criminals of the 20th century.

Film Festival Quite the little amuse-bouche, is “Les Trompes de ma Mere” with the English title “Under Mom’s Skirts.” Canadian director Plays Oct 11-14 Saran Heitz de Chabaneix gives a viewer’s rusty French a CineArts, little test. Lucie (Sara Verhagen, who played Jackie Kennedy’s Santana Row press secretary in Jackie) nearly perishes of embarrassment sjsff.com when she’s guilted into accompanying her Parisienne mom to an American gynecologist. The gyno (Nancy Tate) is a chirpy Christian Floridian. The pelvic exam is just the beginning of way too much information for the poor daughter, “You came through this miraculous passage!” the doctor exclaims, urging Lucie to have a look. “#NoMore” is Reno filmmaker Emily Skyle’s docudrama about the date raping of Parker (a very good Riley McKinney) which led to a public demonstration of support by women everywhere. This horror story is given a horror movie’s lurid, dayglo colors, more of a demonstration of Skyle’s facility with the camera than it is of her subtlety. Skyle will be on hand at the festival.

“What Happened to Evie” by England’s Kate Cheesman is stronger stuff. It gathers the shards of a sexual assault on Evie (Bessie Coates) who we first see bruised and scraped, lowering herself into a bathtub, still wearing her school uniform. In out-of-chronological order, we learn the story of the crime through flashbacks and evidence. We’re deliberately led to the wrong conclusion. Its skill is laudable; its timeliness after last week’s malignant farce in Washington DC goes without saying. —Richard von Busack

BANJO BROTHERS Though they’ll always call Galway, Ireland, home, We Banjo 3 think of themselves as citizens of the world.

Pickin’ Pals ‘Celtgrass’ group We Banjo 3 find the sweet spot between Ireland and Appalachia

BY WALLACE BAINE

M

USIC IS A part of the scenery wherever you go in Ireland, but that’s especially true in Galway. In this beautiful city on Ireland’s craggy west coast, traditional Irish music flourishes in clubs and academies and in the streets.

Growing from Galway’s fertile musical soil, the Irish bluegrass quartet We Banjo 3 were informed by the sounds of their hometown, as well as by an appreciation of American country music—

particularly the old-timey porch pickings of Appalachia.

WB3 have been exporting a brand of music called “celtgrass” since forming in 2011. The portmanteau genre neatly captures the group’s distinctly hybrid approach, part Paul Brady and part Earl Scruggs.

“We don’t fit in a neat little box,” says Martin Howley, one of the group’s three banjo players. “‘Celtgrass’ is an elevator-pitch term that someone applied to us, and it worked. In this day and age, people need to know what you are. If you can’t define yourself, nobody else can.”

The ancestral links between bluegrass and Irish music are well known. Bluegrass emerged from the transplanted folk tradition in the 18th century, when Irish, Scottish and British settlers populated the rugged mountains of the southern United States. But few contemporary bands draw the parallels as sharply as We Banjo 3, which as its name suggests features three of its four players on banjo (brothers Martin and David Howley plus bandmate Enda Scahill). The band’s fourth member is fiddler and guitarist Fergal Scahill, Enda’s brother.

Like so many other kids who grew up in Galway, the Howley brothers were steeped in Irish traditional music.

But at home, their father—also named Martin—was exposing his sons to old-line American country music like Roy Acuff, Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. A bit later came Flatt & Scruggs, Sam Bush, New Grass Revival and a world of bluegrass that the boys noticed had a lot in common with the Irish jigs and reels that they loved.

The Scahill brothers had played the American market before the Howleys, and when the four players came together to form a band, their vision roamed well beyond the horizons of Ireland. Pushing a uniquely banjocentric sound, WB3 released their first recording in 2012, which was named Traditional Irish Album of the Year by The Irish Times. The band’s second record, Gather the Good, raised their profile further, and soon they were playing international stages and tapping into the rich fan base of progressive bluegrass.

This summer, WB3 released their fifth album, titled Haven, which reached the top spot on Billboard’s bluegrass charts in September. Haven, says Howley, marks a new step forward in the band’s evolution.

“It was a hugely important piece of work for us, because it’s first time we’ve deviated,” he explains. It’s the group’s first album of entirely original material. As such, it reveals the band’s personality and thematic interests more directly than its older material.

New songs such as “Light in the Sky” and “Hang On to Your Soul” are direct evocations of the better angels of human nature. The latter was reportedly inspired by the tragedy of a fan’s suicide.

“The impetus (behind the album) was to give people refuge and a sense of safety,” says Howley, “and that we’re far more connected by our commonality than we are separated by our individual differences.”

The Howley brothers now live in Nashville, but the Scahills are still calling the west of Ireland home. In their touring, the musicians of We Banjo 3 are seeing a love of bluegrass bloom in such places as Colombia, Japan and Eastern Europe.

“There’s a certain cohort of people that we’ve met who transcend nationalism,” says Howley. “They’re people of the world and are interested in connections between all people and cultures of the world. I’ve often felt that through connecting with other cultures, you increase your awareness of your own. I feel like that’s our mission.”

FRI OCT 12 • GAVIN TUREK @ STANFORD’S BING HALL It may help to have desire and experience to dance at this show, but Gavin Turek’s music might actually teach you how to dance through retro sonic magic. She’s part synthesizer, part immortal unicorn, dressed in a homemade wardrobe of silk and spandex, adding up to one thoroughly ethereal entertainer. If you remember the ‘80s (if you don’t, you did it right), the pop vibe she exudes is era perfect. She’s reaching into the past and taking it to the future. She’s hellagant. 9:30pm. Stanford Live at Bing Hall, 327 Lasuen Ave, Stanford

FRI–SAT OCT 12–13 • HEARTS LIKE LIONS, LAW, NESSIE THE GREAT Plus Israel Sanchez, Big Rusty Bake Machine, Quigs. Two huge shows. Hearts Like Lions has a sound that makes me miss 2002 power-pop punk.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In his book The Snow

Leopard, Peter Matthiessen describes his quest to glimpse the elusive and rarely seen creature in the Himalayas. "Its uncompromising yellow eyes, wired into the depths of its unfathomable spirit," he writes, give it a "terrible beauty" that is "the very stuff of human longing." He loves the snow leopard so much, he says, that it is the animal he "would most like to be eaten by." I bring this up, Aries, because now would be a good time, astrologically speaking, for you to identify what animal you would most like to be eaten by. In other words, what creature would you most like to learn from and be inspired by? What beautiful beast has the most to give you?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Richard Nelson is an anthropologist who has lived for years with the indigenous Koyukon people of Alaska. He lauds their "careful watching of the same events in the same place" over long periods of time, noting how this enables them to cultivate a rich relationship with their surroundings that is incomprehensible to us civilized Westerners. He concludes, "There may be more to learn by climbing the same mountain a hundred times than by climbing a hundred different mountains." I think that's excellent counsel for you to employ in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "It is sad that unless you are born a god, your life, from its very beginning, is a mystery to you," writes Gemini author Jamaica Kincaid. I disagree with her because she implies that if you're human, your life is a complete and utter mystery; whereas my observation has been that for most of us, our lives are no more than 80 percent mystery. Some lucky ones have even deciphered as much as 65 percent, leaving only 35 percent mystery.

What's your percentage? I expect that between now and Nov. 1, you can increase your understanding by at least 10 percent.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You Cancerians may not

possess the mental dexterity of Virgos or the acute cleverness of Geminis, but you have the most soulful intelligence in the zodiac. Your empathetic intuition is among your greatest treasures. Your capacity to feel deeply gives you the ability to intensely understand the inner workings of life. Sometimes you take this subtle acumen for granted. It may be hard for you to believe that others are stuck at a high-school level of emotional skill when you have the equivalent of a PhD. Everything I just said is a prelude to my advice.

In the coming weeks, I doubt you can solve your big riddle through rational analysis. Your best strategy is to deeply experience all the interesting feelings that are rising up in you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you ever experience

stress from having to be so interesting and attractive all the time? It may on occasion feel like an onerous responsibility to be the only artful egomaniac amid swarms of amateur egomaniacs.

I have a suggestion that might help. Twice a year, celebrate a holiday I call Dare to Be Boring Week.

During these periods of release and relief, you won't live up to people's expectations that you keep them amused and excited. You'll be free to be solely focused on amusing and exciting yourself, even if that means they'll think you're dull. Now is an excellent time to observe Dare to Be Boring Week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A Chinese proverb says,

"Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are." I'm happy to let you know that you are currently more receptive to this truth than maybe you have ever been. Furthermore, you have more power than usual to change your life in ways that incorporate this truth. To get started, meditate on the hypothesis that you can get more good work done if you're calm and composed than if you're agitated and trying too hard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My astrological analysis suggests that life is conspiring to render you extra excited and unusually animated and highly motivated.

I bet that if you cooperate with the natural rhythms, you will feel stirred, playful and delighted. So how can you best use this gift? How might you take maximum advantage of the lucky breaks and bursts of grace that will be arriving? Here's my opinion: Be more focused on discovering possibilities than making final decisions. Feed your sense of wonder and awe rather

By ROB BREZSNY week of October 10

than your drive to figure everything out. Give more power to what you can imagine than to what you already know. Being practical is fine as long as you're idealistically practical.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): How far is it from the

Land of the Lost to the Land of the Lost and Found?

What's the best route to take? Who and what are likely to provide the best help? If you approach those questions with a crisply optimistic attitude, you can gather a wealth of useful information in a relatively short time. The more research you do about the journey, the faster it will go and the more painless it will be. Here's another fertile question to meditate on: Is there a smart and kind way to give up your attachment to a supposedly important thing that is actually quite burdensome?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In her only novel, Save Me the Waltz, Zelda Fitzgerald described her main character like this: "She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did." That's a bit too much like fairy-tale wisdom for me to endorse it unconditionally.

But I do believe it may sometimes be a valid hypothesis, especially for you Sagittarians in the coming months. Your faith in yourself and your desire to have interesting fun will be even more important than usual in determining what adventures you will have. I suggest you start now to lay the groundwork for this exhilarating challenge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Russian philosopher

George Gurdjieff taught that most people are virtually sleepwalking even during the day. He said we're permanently stuck on automatic pilot, prone to reacting in mechanical ways to every event that comes our way. Psychology pioneer Sigmund Freud had an equally dim view of us humans. He believed that it's our normal state to be neurotic; that most of us are chronically out of sync with our surroundings.

Now here's the good news, Capricorn: You're at least temporarily in a favorable position to refute both men's theories. In fact, I'll boldly predict that in the next three weeks you'll be as authentic and awake and at peace as you've been in years.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the late 19th

century, American botanist George Washington Carver began to champion the nutritional value of peanuts. His influence led to the plant being grown and used more extensively. Although he accomplished many other innovations, including techniques for enhancing depleted soils, he became famous as the Peanut Man. Later in life, he told the story that while young he had prayed to God to show him the mystery of the universe, but God turned him down, saying, "That's for me alone." So George asked God to show him the mystery of the peanut, and God agreed, saying, "That's more nearly your size." The coming weeks will be a great time for you to seek a comparable revelation, Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Every year, people discard 3.3 million pounds of chewing gum on the streets of Amsterdam. A company named Gumdrop has begun to harvest that waste and use it to make soles for its new brand of sneakers, Gumshoe. A spokesperson said the intention was to "create a product people actually want from something no one cares about." I'd love it if you were inspired by this visionary act of recycling, Pisces. According to my reading of the cosmic omens, you now have exceptional powers to transform something you don't want into something you do want.

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

metroactive.com | sanjose.com | metrosiliconvalley.com | OCTOBER 10-16, 2018

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

I’m a 29-year-old woman. My boyfriend of a year is a wonderful guy. I’ve always been a jealous person—very insecure about whether a guy really cares and is being faithful. I ruined my last relationship (with a nice, decent guy) by snooping in his email—finding nothing. I’ve started seeing a therapist, who tells me I am “anxiously attached.” She’s helping me work on this. My boyfriend suggested I also write you to see whether he could do anything to help.—Panicky Many people find it comforting to believe there’s some benevolent force watching over those they love. You, on the other hand, favor a private detective with a fleet of drones who will also supply you with the video.

Your therapist’s assessment that you’re “anxiously attached” comes out of research on our “attachment behavioral system,” our emotional framework that guides how secure or insecure we feel about our bonds with others. According to the late British psychiatrist John Bowlby, we each have internalized working models—basically, expectations from childhood experience (with genes also playing a role)—for how much we can count on others to stick by us and respond to our needs.

Being “anxiously attached” seems to result from your mom or other early caregiver being intermittently cold or otherwise inconsistently comforting. It typically leads to needy, clingy, hypervigilant behavior, driven by fears of rejection and abandonment.

Though the Nancy Drew tactics of the anxiously attached can seem like

ways of acting out, they’re actually attempts to get a romantic partner to ramp up their level of commitment—or at least offer reassurance about it.

Interestingly, it seems that the reassurance doesn’t have to come in spoken word form. Psychologist Brooke C. Feeney found that in the context of a close relationship, “affectionate touch ... was an effective buffer against jealous feelings” for relationship partners at times when anxious attachment levels were high.

Sending the message physically like this takes advantage of how, according to research in “embodied cognition,” our body and actions, independent of conscious thought, are surprisingly powerful and efficient tools for changing our habitual emotional reactions.

Best of all, being regularly cuddlywuddly with one’s partner isn’t exactly an odious chore. It’s surely preferable to the alternative—a relationship that feels like one long interrogation, though with better lighting and decorative accents from Bed, Bath, & I’d Better Not Catch Your Eyeballs Crawling Up My Sister.

I’m a 38-year-old single man. There’s this very pretty, very nice female trainer I see at my gym. I’d ask her out except that she has a huge tattoo of a diamond on her neck. Ugh. Total deal breaker. If it were a hidden tattoo (leg, hip, etc.), I’d deal. But I just can’t imagine myself or any guy bringing a girl with a huge neck tat home to meet the parents. Why would a woman do this?—Hate Ink A tattoo is a flesh billboard—one that sends different messages to different people. For example, there are those tattoos Westerners get in Chinese: “Lost ticket pays full day rate for parking.”

Tattoos are now more socially acceptable than ever. Three in 10 Americans have them, according to a 2015 Harris Poll. As for why, people often explain their tattoo or tattoos as a celebration or remembrance: “And there was my Everclear era in my early 20s, memorialized by this ‘No regerts’ tattoo.”

However, evolutionary researcher Haley Dillon and her colleagues reviewed findings from cross-cultural research on tattooing and concluded that there

are two main underlying motivations (subconscious evolved motivations) for people to go all human canvas. People get tats as symbols, of either group membership or individuality or both. And they do it as a form of “costly signaling”— advertising to others that they are so crazyhealthy that they don’t need to worry about the health risks.

Each of these underlying motivations is what’s called a “fitness display,” promoting a tattooee’s excellence as a mate or cooperator. You happen to favor virgin neck, which can lead to some awkwardness in asking a woman out: “Hey, can I treat you to dinner sometime, followed by two years of laser tattoo removal?”
