The court system is a complete waste of resources. For every dollar spent wisely, $20 are wasted. Now, abuse of temp employee systems and contractors isn’t just a court system issue. … Many of these “temps” should be made full-time or let go. They work with crappy benefits and wages, just hoping to get an opportunity. It’s sad.

Ah, Chu KANSEN CHU sent local pols scrambling to rethink their 2020 plans when he opened up about his decision to eschew another term in the Assembly to run for Santa Clara County Supervisor DAVE CORTESE’s seat.

A few days later, Santa Clara County Board of Education trustee ANNA SONG, 51, went public with her ambitions to replace him in AD 25, which spans parts of the Tri-Valley and South Bay. And on Monday, longtime Santa Clara Unified trustee JIM CANOVA, 60, broke the news to Fly that he’ll They run against her for the Did open seat.

What?

“I’ve never been interested in City SEND TIPS TO FLY@ Council or the Board of METRONEWS. Supervisors, or any of COM those positions,” says Canova, who’s served consecutive terms on the SCUSD board since 1993. “My heart and soul is in education, and I think the Assembly is a great place to continue working on that.”

As a schools trustee and appointed member of the MetroEd board, a joint powers agency that runs career-tech education for six South Bay school districts, Canova says he’s become “quite effective” in getting grant money out of Sacramento for cash-strapped vocational training programs. In the Assembly, he says he can pick up wherever he leaves off. “Career tech is such an important issue because, as we know, it’s so hard to live in this valley,” he says,” and we’ve got students coming out of these programs making six figures, so this is another way to tackle affordability, the skills gap, and so many of these quality-of-life issues we’re dealing with.”

Chu’s quality of life could improve quite a bit if he wins the county seat, which comes with a sizable pay bump and none of the obligations to pay for a home away from home in the capital. Not so for East Side Councilwoman MAGDALENA CARRASCO, who now has to compete with Chu— a reliable labor vote during his tenure as San Jose’s D4 rep—for union backing.

LASHING BACK Proponents of the death penalty, which has kept Robert Galvan (pictured) awaiting the ultimate punishment at San Quentin for years, are gearing up for a fight in 2020.

Dead Stop California voters will have another chance to end the death penalty

BY TOM GOGOLA

F

OLLOWING GOV. Gavin Newsom’s moratorium on capital punishment via executive fiat in March, will California voters end the death penalty in 2020? New research from the National Institute on Money in Politics indicates that, absent a robust grassroots anti-death penalty effort, it may be a tough sell.

That’s owing to the power and influence of statewide unions such as the California Correctional Peace Officers Association (CPOA), whose small-donor efforts in 2016

helped turn the tables on a capitalpunishment proposition twofer on that ballot that year.

Proposition 62 would have ended the death penalty outright, while prodeath penalty Proposition 66 sought to limit appeals in capital cases.

The institute’s research found that even as the state was trending away from support for the death penalty, pro-death penalty, 62/66-specific committees outspent opponents’ committees by $13.5 million to $9.7 million in 2016.

That year, “corrections officers represented the overwhelming majority of small donors rallying behind the death penalty,” reports the institute’s online research portal,

followthemoney.org, adding that 35 “public sector unions collectively gave $3.3 million to the pro-death penalty effort. ... Almost almost half ($1.6 million) of the union total came from contributions from CCPOA and the Peace Officers Research Association of California.” Twenty-eight-thousand CCPOA members contributed $287 each to 62/66-specific committees.

Small-donor anti-death penalty contributions were not nearly so robust, as the institute reports that “more than four-fifths of the antideath-penalty total ($7.9 million) came from just 35 donors that gave $50,000 or more.”

Contributions from opponents were made by George Soros’s Open Society Policy Center ($1 million), Laurene Powell Jobs’s Emerson Collective ($600,000), “and more than $450,000 from the Northern California Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.”

The report further noted that Stanford University professor Nick McKeown gave $1.5 million, “a 91 percent share of the total from education donors,” while Netflix co-founder and CEO Reed Hastings contributed $1 million of $1.2

Opponents to Newsom’s moratorium have already ramped up the grassroots activism in light of the renewed push to end capital punishment in the state.

It cited a joint study from the Field Poll and the Institute of Governmental Studies at UC Berkeley, that "found Proposition 62 ahead 48 to 37 percent, with 15 percent of likely voters undecided.

Meanwhile, barely a third (35 percent) support Proposition 66, a competing initiative aimed at expediting the death-penalty process.

With 42 percent undecided, it appears far less familiar to voters.

Twenty-three percent are opposed.”

Then came a CCPOA-led advertising blitz that raised public awareness of Proposition 66. “In the end, 53 percent of voters rejected Proposition 62 and 51 percent okayed

Proposition 66,” notes the institute.

In making his announcement this spring, Newsom highlighted that the death penalty discriminates against minorities and poor people as he called the practice “ineffective, irreversible and immoral.” He pledged to give a reprieve to the 737 inmates currently on death row in California, close the death chamber at San Quentin (it was dismantled soon after his announcement), and end a yearslong debate over the state’s execution protocols.

Most of the 737 condemned in California are men held in one of three death row tiers at San Quentin. Women on death row are incarcerated at a facility in Chowchilla. The last execution in California took place 13 years ago.

As Newsom was making his announcement, Assemblyman Marc Levine (D-Marin) introduced a proposed constitutional amendment on the 2020 ballot that would ban the death penalty.

Opponents to Newsom’s moratorium have already ramped up the grassroots activism in light of the renewed push to end capital punishment in the state.

Families of crime victims and local district attorneys have embarked on a “Victims of Murder Justice Tour” which today is in Riverside. In April NBC Los Angeles reported that the organization (founded by the Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer) would take the tour to each of the 80 Assembly and 40 Senate districts in the state.

Death Penalty Action, a California non-profit devoted to ending capital punishment in the state through public education and grassroots organizing, was unsurprisingly supportive of Newsom’s March move.

District attorneys and victims’ families have accused Newsom of thwarting the 2016 will of the voters, but recent polling suggests that Californians favor life without parole over execution in first-degree murder cases by a 2-to-1 ratio.

A Public Policy Institute of California poll conducted two weeks after Newsom’s announcement found that 62 percent of voters “chose life in prison over the death penalty,” Death Penalty Action reported. “The survey found that only 31 percent of adults—38 percent of whom are likely voters—favored the death penalty.”

million that came from the TV and film industry. Lastly, it found that five people (including Tom Steyer) “accounted for more than 80 percent of $1.1 million from securities and investment donors.”

Small-donor contributions from 1,700 opponents totaled $377,000, reported the institute as it recounted the run-up to the 2016 election.

That year, opponents contributed an average of $4,750 to the committees; proponents of the death penalty contributed an average of $470.

On Sept. 21, 2016, the Sacramento Bee reported that polling to date indicated that a plurality of voters supported Prop. 62, while only a third of voters supported Prop. 66.

An inside look at San Jose politics

OFF THE RAILS Federal rail officials are reportedly refusing to meet with the California High-Speed Rail Authority after one of President Trump’s Twitter tirades.

Could Trump Tweets Stall High-Speed Rail?

BY JAQUELINE MCCOOL The $79 billion High-Speed Rail that promises to connect Northern and Southern California could be stalled in its tracks by a new obstacle: the Trump administration.

The Federal Rail Administration (FRA) has refused to meet with the California High-Speed Rail Authority following a series of tweets from President Donald Trump in which he threatened to pull federal funding for the project, according to a HighSpeed Rail 2019 project update report May 1.

“On Feb. 19, 2019, the FRA administrator notified the Authority of the FRA’s intent to rescind the $929 million in federal FY10 grant funds,” the update stated.

“The FRA also indicated that it was evaluating taking back the $2.5 billion in ARRA [American Recovery and Reinvestment Act] funds that were awarded to the Authority and which has been fully

expended in compliance with federal requirements and deadlines.”

The FRA did not comment on the pulled funding, but a source in the administration told this news organization that the FRA is still reviewing the High-Speed Rail Authority’s response to the notice of pulled funding.

High-speed rail in California has been the subject of controversy for more than a decade, but as the project progresses, the High-Speed Rail Authority has continued to modify plans and attempt to appease critics. The train would run through Santa Clara County, which already has officials in San Jose and South County talking about massive revitalization from a new High-Speed Rail station in Gilroy which would promise a 25-minute commute to the heart of Silicon Valley.

Morgan Hill has had a tumultuous relationship with the rail authority,

having lobbied for years—with no discernible result yet—to keep the train route out of the city’s downtown and avoid demolition of long-established businesses and neighborhoods.

The authority released the 2019 project report May 1. The update addresses funding shortages, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Feb.12 State of the State address and the Trump administration’s hostility toward the rail project.

Each even year, the authority releases a business plan. The last plan was released in 2018. In between business plans, the authority delivers a “project update report” to the state.

The report is not voted on, but goes through state senate committees where High-Speed Rail Authority answers questions.

Newsom’s address called for a change in the rail plan, when he told Californians the project would shift focus to completing the portion of the

project that would connect the Central Valley, Merced to Bakersfield. The announcement did not initially shift plans or the timeline of the project, but Northern California Regional Director Boris Lipkin said it may affect the project as planning continues.

Since February, there has been radio silence regarding funding and environmental clearances by the FRA. Following the State of the State speech, Newsom engaged with Trump on Twitter in response to tweets that threatened to pull federal funding allocated to the rail project. Lipkin said these weren’t empty threats and that the federal government has not engaged with the authority in the months since the address. The silence from the federal government was addressed in the update report and identified as a risk to the project’s completion.

Lipkin told this paper that the federal representatives have not showed up to scheduled meetings with the Authority and are not reviewing federally required environmental projects that would move the rail along.

“At some point, they will become big issues,” Lipkin said.

“This disengagement by the FRA represents an unprecedented federal government action to cripple the advancement of a project it has helped fund. On March 4, 2019, Authority CEO Brian Kelly sent two letters to the FRA seeking re-engagement and the restoration of a functional partnership on this project,” the update said.

“Those letters have been unanswered by the FRA after nearly two months,” according to the report.

“The 2018 State Audit recommended that the Authority develop a contingency plan if at any time the ARRA grant requirements could not be achieved. It will not be possible for the Authority to develop or finalize a contingency plan without proactive engagement by the FRA.” While the Central Valley line construction gets increased attention, the authority is continuing work on the preparation for the other lines, including the “valley to valley” line from San Jose through Bakersfield.

CAFE CULTURE Bob Schmelzer has finally realized his vision of expanding Circle-A with a sunny new cafe.

Tea and Trucks Iconic downtown San Jose skate shop now serves coffee and tea

BY GARY SINGH

T

HE SONG “BLACK Juju” by Alice Cooper is blasting at 8am. A cocktail-style table sits in the center of the room, constructed with a circular piece of glass atop some tires from a 1963 Belvedere. I am in the corner drinking a cup of English breakfast from Satori Tea Company. Artwork created with skateboard decks surrounds me. There are no hipsters anywhere.

I’m not describing my apartment.

This is the newly revamped Circa-A Skate Shop, operated by Bob Schmelzer in downtown San Jose, a swirling-glass retail space across from Hammer Theatre, a business approaching 22 years, making it one of the oldest continuously operating retail establishments in all of downtown. People already come here to get trucks and wheels installed on boards all day long. Kids already line up overnight to buy the newest Nike skate sneakers once a month. Pieces of 35-year-old Gremic boards already

grace the joint like museum artifacts, leftover from when Schmelzer was a sponsored pro. Now Circle-A serves coffee, tea and espresso.

“I wanted to offer something different, offer a specialty coffee vibe here, and I’ve always felt that it works with skateboarding,” Schmelzer said. “You see a lot of stores out there—bike shops, running shoe shops—that sell coffee inside, and they’re great stores, but how much culture is there in the biking and the running, compared to skateboarding, with the art, the music and all that? So I just thought it was a better mix. Not only would it add to the skateboard shop side, but also make an interesting cafe.”

Unlike other retail businesses, customers regularly use Circle-A as a meetup spot before they skate the parks, the streets, or even jump on a train to San Francisco to skate up there. Schmelzer often finds himself in a conversation with one customer, but then has to switch to accommodate whoever else comes

in. Now there’s a cafe for everyone to hang out. Even though there hasn’t been a full-blown grand opening yet, SJSU students and staff have already discovered the place, as have some of the local working stiffs.

Going back to the ’70s, San Jose has always been one of the skateboarding capitals of the country in terms of the talent that emerged here, as well as homemade ramps, curbs, empty pools and street tricks that appear in magazines and videos even still. But these days, Circle-A is the only remaining real skate shop outside the malls. Now Schmelzer is the only one in the South Bay to serve Wrecking Ball Coffee.

And just to prove that tea is not for geriatric old biddies with bad perfume, Schmelzer serves an English breakfast, a jasmine green tea and an Egyptian chamomile, all from San Jose’s Satori Tea, and each a simple drink. You don’t need esoteric tea knowledge of any sort.

“From growing up with English skateboarders, English tea drinkers, I grew up on PG Tips,” Schmelzer said, of his younger days up and down California. “That’s exactly where I came from. Friends like Bod Boyle and Steve Douglas, you talked to them, they wanted to drink tea.”

Just as skateboarding goes with tea, for at least 40 years it’s also overlapped with hot-rod car culture, at least partly thanks to Big Daddy Roth. Listening to Schmelzer talk about the sleek designs of his Slayer espresso machine, his Mahlkonig grinder and even the Hoosier drag slicks that comprise the table in the center of the space, one doesn’t need any more proof. Everything is connected.

“When I saw my first Slayer, I thought it looked like a hot rod,” he said, adding that the cost of the Slayer is partly what delayed him opening the store for so long. “I like the gear.

I like the hard gear. I’m learning how to be a barista so I can pour some drinks, but I’m more into gear, upkeeping, customizing, cleaning.”

From my spot at the corner table, I look through the glass and across Paseo de San Antonio. The Hammer Theatre marquee, facing the northbound traffic on Third Street, now mentions Circle-A. “Coffee and Skateboards” now appears between Urinetown and Leonard Bernstein. I guess the shop has finally made it.

Your Call is Important to Jail call monitoring can be a valuable crime fighting tool. The county’s quiet push to give prosecutors expanded access to recorded inmate conversations has ignited a controversy over checks and balances in exploiting technology’s reach. BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

C

OPS SWORE UP and down they’d caught the gunman.

Khalil Owens must’ve fired the weapon that killed 25-year-old recent college grad Marvin Jackson Jr., they figured. The victim’s brother—who got caught up in the scuffle preceding the June 27, 2015, shooting in downtown San Jose—said so himself, claiming to see the 20-year-old suspected gangbanger flash a gun under his shirt just before the fatal fight.

Owens spent three months in jail and faced a possible life sentence before his attorney convinced prosecutors to dismiss the charges after a closer look at the evidence.

Turned out, video and eyewitness accounts pointed not to Owens but to a 27-year-old convicted felon known as Gregory “G-Stacks” Thompson.

A recorded call from Thompson to a sibling dispelled any doubt when

he described being at the scene of the crime and lifting his shirt while arguing with the victim’s brother.

Prosecutors say jail calls offer a wealth of evidence— sometimes exculpatory, more often incriminating—that can prove additional crimes or protect victims and witnesses. But how easy should it be for them to tap into those conversations? For several months now, Silicon Valley’s top law enforcement officials have waged a quiet war over how to answer that.

Sheriff Laurie Smith, who oversees the county’s two jails, contends that she has a duty to protect sensitive call data by requiring prosecutors and anyone from an outside agency to obtain permission from the courts to eavesdrop on inmates. District Attorney Jeff Rosen insists that his office should have click-to-listen access because, like the Department of Correction (DOC) under Smith’s charge, it’s part of the

District Attorney Jeff Rosen and Chief Assistant Jay Boyarsky same government family: the County of Santa Clara.

Should prosecutors prevail, they stand to gain what in this county would be unprecedented access to a surveillance

tool prone to ethical pitfalls, if not outright abuse.

Yet officials have kept the debate from public view by handling it as a contract issue instead of what defense lawyers consider a major policy change. And, of concern to inmate advocates, without soliciting input from directly impacted parties like Public Defender Molly O’Neal.

“Unfettered access by the DA without any check or balance is dangerous,” she cautions. “Attorneyclient privileged calls are subject to DA interception, client calls that are not related to any particular case will be subject to free listening at any time, allowing for fishing expeditions at the expense of inmates who may simply be talking to loved ones.”

People accused of crimes have a constitutional right to private calls with their lawyers. Any policy that affects how the government protects that right merits more accountability than the

county’s provided in this case, defense attorneys argue. “Open, public hearings on the proposal should be held,” O’Neal says, “so that the public may be heard and the action is transparent.”

Instead, it appears the motion to add the DA to the jail calls contract—as the county prepares to switch from Global Tel-Link to Legacy Inmate Communications— will come before the board of supervisors on May 21 as a cursory line in a long slog of budget items.

Call Brawl Sheriff Smith set off the fray last fall by abruptly imposing new rules on prosecutors who wish to tap inmate calls. Instead of a rote administrative form, jailers began to require a subpoena or warrant. The move stoked already simmering tensions between the sheriff and Rosen, who called the new policy a threat to public safety.

Public Defender Molly O’Neal

“Timely access to unprivileged jail calls is essential,” the DA wrote in a Jan. 8 letter rebuking Smith’s decision, “not only to the effective prosecution of criminals, but also to the safety of victims and witnesses.” He added:

“Your change in policy effectively confers upon inmates an expectation of privacy to which they are not legally entitled and needless hurdles to your law enforcement colleagues.”

Except for communication with their attorneys, which are supposed to be registered on a do-not-record list, inmates have no reasonable expectation of privacy, Rosen argued. They receive several clear warnings that their conversations are being recorded, such as signs by the phone booths and audio reminders at the outset of each call.

Rosen also touted the economic benefit of wiretaps.

“An incriminating jail call can often lead to the early resolution of a case without a trial,” he wrote before rattling off examples to prove his point. “Recently, jail calls were the crucial piece of evidence influencing Efren Cervantes to accept a guilty plea to first degree murder, saving taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars.”

In the case against an accused domestic abuser from Santa Clara named Noe Mejia, prosecutors spent a lunch break from cross-examination to request the defendant’s jail calls to the victim’s phone number. The jail complied, disclosing calls that “were extremely compelling and disturbing,” Rosen said, showing that Mejia had no remorse for the injuries he inflicted on the victim and that he even tried to get her to lie to get him out of trouble.

“So it’s fuck me, then?” Mejia reportedly asked the victim in one of the calls. “You’re just going to let me sit in here? You gotta get me outta here.”

After the prosecutor played the recording for the judge, Mejia opted to plead guilty.

“Often inmates with pending cases will attempt to influence witnesses by appealing to their sympathy or through threats,” Rosen said. “This criminal dynamic is often found in domestic violence cases, which

CALL OR NOTHING Benee Vejar says a phone call with her incarcerated husband almost got her arrested when prosecutors misinterpreted a conversation about packing up car parts as a coded exchange about drugs. involve a unique dynamic between the defendant and the victim. It is also common in violent criminal enterprises like human trafficking, gang assaults and the distribution of narcotics. Inmates can dissuade witnesses through direct threats, or by plotting with people on the outside who might carry out actual assault.

Monitoring these communications in the appropriate cases is essential to preserving the integrity of the system, holding criminals accountable and maintaining public safety.”

Whether Sheriff Smith’s policy prevents that is an open question.

Officials from the DA’s office say they went from receiving about 70 to 100 calls a month to almost none at all once the jails set the subpoena-orsearch warrant standard in October.

“Since that time, we have obtained jail recordings in a very small number of cases where we spent a considerable amount of resources to obtain an unnecessary search warrant for communications that are not legally privileged or confidential,” DA officials said in a written statement.

More than the hassle of extra paperwork, Chief Assistant DA Jay Boyarsky says, is the principle. “How

long does it take to get a warrant?” he repeats when asked as much. “That’s a bit of a red herring because we’re not necessarily investigating a new crime.

You shouldn’t really be seeking a search warrant if something isn’t a protected item. You don’t need a search warrant if something is in plain view.”

Jail officials who spoke on background accused prosecutors of abusing the system. Sheriff Smith didn’t comment for this story, but in a March 29 memo to the Santa Clara County Police Chiefs Association, she explained how she only issued her directive in response to a “significant increase” in demand from the DA. “The requests submitted by their office totaled more minutes of telephone calls than all other agencies combined,” she wrote. “As an example, one request provided to the District Attorney’s Office on Oct. 18, 2018, yielded 81,400 minutes (1,357 hours) of recorded telephone conversations.”

Before she cracked down, Smith said, the requests soared from hundreds a month to thousands, and began coming by email and phone with stated reasons that seemed suspect. That’s well beyond the 70-to-100 monthly average DA officials estimated. As of April 1,

however, she promised to no longer require court orders for “certain copies” of jail calls—as long as they serve a legitimate investigative purpose.

Boyarsky disputes the notion that his office overwhelmed jail staff. “I’ve heard that before,” he says with a laugh.

“Can you imagine if people criticized police officers for being too dogged?

You know, it’s like, DA Rosen hires prosecutors to get to the truth, and evidence is where the truth is. And if we have access to evidence, we’re going to get it. It’s not like, ‘Hey, we want 30 hours of phone calls from this guy,’ and then someone at the jail needs to get 30 hours of reel-to-reel tape or something.

They’re not burning cassettes or DVDs. That’s how it might’ve been 40 years ago, but nowadays, it’s all digital, and it’s all in the cloud. It takes minutes—just the press of a button, and here’s 10 hours of calls.”

In his January letter to the sheriff, Rosen also expressed concern about the search warrants tipping off inmates about prosecutorial surveillance. “This obviously defeats the purpose of obtaining these calls to discover evidence of the current crime, other crimes, threats to witnesses or victims or to expose an error in charging,” he wrote.

Deputy Public Defender Michael Ogul says he applauds the additional layer of accountability and is disappointed by the DA trying to finagle a workaround. “Now, they’re at least required to give notice to the individuals and the courts,” he says. “I mean, the DA can already obtain this information.

They just have to go through a relatively simple procedure of giving the court notice and saying they have a basis for requesting these calls. It’s pretty easy to issue a subpoena.”

To Ogul and a host of his colleagues, it seems the DA simply doesn’t want to give anyone a heads up. “Why is it so difficult to obtain the data for a subpoena that you need to do it this way?” he asks. “They’re really trying to eliminate oversight.”

If anything, Ogul says, local officials should trend in the opposite direction in the wake of high-profile slip-ups

by Global Tel-Link, which last year blamed a software glitch for recording more than 1,000 privileged jail calls in Orange County.

“There’s no question that a jail call is a very important part of prosecution,”

legal analyst and criminal defense attorney Steven Clark says. “A lot of cases have risen or fallen on jail calls, so the DAs want that information.”

Try as one might to warn defendants that they’re being recorded, they often become desensitized and slip up. When family members ask a new inmate what happened that led to the arrest, it’s hard not to answer. But attorneyclient privilege is sacrosanct, and Clark says the jail phone taps could use the added safeguard of judicial review. “I mean, to me, the biggest concern is whether the DA will inadvertently stumble across conversations with lawyers,” he says.

“It’s just so devastating, I don’t care how much you try to sanitize it.”

There’s protocol for when that happens, of course, but by then the damage is done. “It’s very difficult to unring that bell,” Clark says.

Game of Telephone This is by no means the first time the DA has lobbied for a straight line to jail calls. Nor is it the first time the Sheriff’s Office has required prosecutors to get a judge’s go-ahead in exchange for recordings. The DOC enacted the court-order standard in 2007 and 2014, but DA officials say Sheriff Smith gave them no prior notice before doing it again this last time.

More than a decade ago, the Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury investigated jail calls in response to a complaint that a prosecutor unlawfully acquired audio of an inmate’s conversation with his attorney. The 2006-07 team of civilian watchdogs found that the phone system lacked sufficient safeguards to keep privileged phone calls from ending up in the hands of prosecutors.

The report also noted how recordings requested by prosecutors were previously made available without question and without notifying the inmate or his or her lawyer.

“However, DOC’s newly established policy, dated Jan. 16, 2007, restricts the release of any recording without a court order,” the civil grand jury report stated. The DA’s Office groused about the practice then, too, saying the extra time involved in securing a court order hampered its ability

15 the sheriff. “I think that just indicates that she’s trying to protect herself politically from the risk of having an oversight monitor, which the board is working on,” the county executive says.

The county CEO also blames Sheriff Smith for problems with the botched rollout of the new Odyssey software at the Santa Clara County Superior Court, which left cops with faulty information about the status of thousands of warrants. Jeff Smith says the software switch would have been relatively seamless if the sheriff agreed to his preferred data-sharing arrangement. Guarding access to the jail calls is an extension of the same problem, he contends.

‘I mean, to me, the biggest concern is whether the DA will inadvertently stumble across conversations with lawyers. ... It’s very difficult to unring that bell.

“The county is a team effort, particularly when it comes to criminal justice,” he says. “There has to be a free flow of information. It has to be protected and appropriately confidential, but the system doesn’t work if somebody refuses to share the appropriate data.”

But it shouldn’t be the case that inmates have no privacy whatsoever, O’Neal contends, and it shouldn’t matter if the DA considers itself part of the same agency as the DOC. “They should still have to explain why they need access to particular inmates’ calls,” she says.

A host of critical questions remain unanswered, O’Neal says. Like, who

at the DA’s office will have access to the calls? How long will they store the data? What’s the standard for determining what calls they’ll listen to?

What’s the process for ensuring they don’t intercept privileged calls? And why isn’t the current process adequate?

DA spokesman Sean Webby says Assistant DA Brian Welch gave county counsel a 12-year-old surveillance policy that addresses those concerns. “A process is already in place to maintain confidentiality of attorney-client communications, and there will be no change to this procedure when we are provided access,” Webby says. “This is not a laborious process because the communications are easily identified as confidential by the telephone number of defense attorneys in a database maintained by the [DOC].

Calls to registered lawyers are not recorded by the system.”

Further, he adds, Rosen “understands that defense attorneys want to protect their incarcerated clients” from self-incrimination or getting caught committing new crimes like witness intimidation. “By contrast,” Webby says, “we use jail calls to protect victims, witnesses and jurors as well as exonerate innocent inmates.”

O’Neal bristles at the DA’s rationale.

“It is pretty insulting to say that our only interests are that our clients not incriminate themselves as well as to portray their only interest being to protect victims and solve crimes,” she says. “The fact of the matter is that unfettered access to jail calls is intrusive and should be restricted to cases where there is an articulable reason to listen in.”

Bad Reception Benee Vejar spoke to her husband every day during the four years he spent at the Main Jail on San Jose’s Hedding Street as a pretrial detainee.

Overwhelmingly, the conversations had nothing to do with the case that landed her partner and father of her three young kids behind bars. But they still got mined for anything remotely incriminating.

In a phone call from jail one day, Vejar, who worked as a mechanic at the time of his arrest, gave his spouse directions about how to

pack up his tools in labeled bags for an upcoming move. According to Vejar, prosecutors interpreted the innocuous exchange as a coded confab about drugs. “Our lawyer told me, ‘Did you know they wanted to arrest you?’” she says. “I was going to get charged as an associate because of that jail call. It was crazy. My kids would have been left alone.”

Vejar has spent the past several years working for civil rights nonprofit Silicon Valley De-Bug as an advocate for families like hers who got caught up in the criminal justice system. As an activist, she says she’s sat through countless court hearings where gang investigators testify about intel garnered from jail calls in which the mundane aspects of people’s lives are dissected for incriminating evidence.

“Aren’t you supposed to have evidence first and then get them arrested?” she asks. “Instead they’re putting people in there and then trying to add charges to force a guilty plea. And they’re admitting it. That’s bullshit.”

The practice of adding charges from jail call evidence seems to contradict county officials’ professed commitment to reversing mass incarceration, Vejar adds. “If this is the way they do things,” she says, “our families are never going to get home.”

To Jose Valle, an ex-inmate and fellow Silicon Valley De-Bug organizer, it’s especially cynical for the DA to frame jail call surveillance as a cost-saving measure. “There should never be a point in our present day where saving money by not going to trial should be a goal,” he says, noting how more than 90 percent of cases nationwide end in a plea deal.

“Everyone has a right to go to trial; everyone has a right to due process.”

Javier Rios, a private criminal defense attorney, says he’s had to listen to untold hours of intimate conversations between defendants and their families. So many of those recordings made him question whether prosecutors requested more calls than reasonably needed. Legalities aside, he says, he questions the ethics of extending the already far-reaching boundaries of jail surveillance.

“There’s no expectation of privacy in the jails, that’s true,” he cedes. “But on a human level, I have to wonder— is it right? Is it fair?”

to prosecute criminals and intercept nonprivileged calls for safety reasons.

However, the report said both the DOC and the DA agreed that “thousands of taxpayer dollars are wasted due to the latter’s failure to pick up or use requested inmate nonprivileged telephone calls after they have been laboriously extracted and saved for the prosecutors’ use.”

A few years later, the DOC would revert to its past practice of less formal data sharing with the DA. And jail officials say they continued to grapple with an influx of requests from the DA’s Office that required considerable time and effort to process. In 2014, the DA’s Office requested remote access to relieve stress on jail resources. Rosen pitched a deal that would grant a small number of trained prosecutors access to the calls, reportedly similar to arrangements in Colusa, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Fresno, Humboldt, King, Lake, Marin, Monterey, Napa, Placer, Sacramento, San Diego, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Stanislaus, Sutter and Yolo counties.

Not many jurisdictions have a distinct DOC like Santa Clara’s, however. The department’s existence has long complicated the question of who’s ultimately in charge of the jails.

Sheriff Smith has used that ambiguity at times to distance herself from abuses—such as the systemic failures that came to light in wake of the 2015 murder of inmate Michael Tyree by three deputies—and, alternately, to proclaim independence from County Executive Jeff Smith.

“This county is unique, yeah,” Boyarsky says. “But, I mean, the county executive has oversight responsibility for these jails,” as well as the contract.

County executive Smith says the sheriff ’s refusal is part of her ongoing effort to assert control and evade accountability by “establishing a moat around her office.” He cited her resistance to having a jail management software system under civilian control as another example of trying to “segregate off as much information as she can about the jail and separate it from the county.”

Four years after Tyree’s murder precipitated a massive reform effort, the county is still in the process of creating an independent oversight office, and Smith believes that conflicts like the one over jail calls reflect a broader lack of cooperation from

A BIT FISHY The new San Jose location of Slapfish features plenty of sauces to help jazz up their bland menu.

Slapdash Don’t believe the hype—Slapfish can’t hold a candle to your favorite fish taco truck

BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

B

ORDERING THE northeast corner of Saratoga, the redundantly named Westgate West mall in San Jose is now home to the first Northern California location of Slapfish. Dubbing itself a “modern seafood shack,” the restaurant is part of a national chain that hopes to win over the good people of Silicon Valley. It has some work to do.

The employees at this particular franchise did get the company memo on going out of their way to be helpful. But despite their extrafriendly efforts, every item that we tried was universally disappointing.

Remember that Maya Angelou quotation: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” That message also applies to the poke bowl. The description on the menu reads, “Only the freshest tuna poke, seasoned rice, chips and greens.” The freshest tuna was bland and flavorless because that’s “only”

what it was. You could, of course, jazz it up with hot sauce, tartar sauce, soy sauce—any and all manner of sauces, really—but we were puzzled at the lack of a baseline seasoning.

Perhaps the people at Slapfish want customers to taste the pure essence of the tuna. But if you’re going to attempt to compete with poke-only shops, your version ought to be mighty tasty. Otherwise, why bother to line your hook with bait?

From the enlarged photographs on the wall menu overhead, you can see that Slapfish prides itself on the variety of ways the cooks can wrestle with clawed lobsters. The options range from taquitos, a traditional sandwich roll, a grinder with shrimp and crab or a "clobster" grilled cheese. The latter is reportedly a “melting mix of lobster, crab and a creamy herb sauce.” I go through phases where lobster sounds like the most appealing shellfish I’d ever want to plunder from the deep blue sea. And then, on bad days, I can’t get the dinner table scene in Beetlejuice out of my mind. That’s the one in which

“Day-O (Banana Boat Song)” plays while the giant prawns attack the dinner guests. On the day I visited Slapfish, the vivid pictures of bulbous crustacean meat brought the movie right back to me, and I concentrated on fish instead.

As you wait in line to order, you can scrutinize the kinds of fish they’re serving that day (poisson du jour) as written down on a tall block of butcher paper. I wanted a taco (but that is never not a true statement). Slapfish offers an ultimate fish taco ($7.50 + $2.50 extra for mahi-mahi) or a smaller street taco. I opted for the “giant two-handed fish taco with crispy cabbage, awesome sauce and pickled onion.” This was a wrap and not a taco. And no, the sauce was not awesome. After eating some and picking at the rest of it, I vowed never again to forsake the old reliable street taco for a fancy upstart offering extra frills.

By far the worst offender though was an order of fish and chips ($9.50).

I got spoiled after having perfect batches of the stuff at Gott’s (the batter they use turns golden brown and perfectly crunchy every time).

Slapfish missed the boat. The crust was the wrong shade of pale, crunchy as cotton and way too thick. The menu adds parenthetically that you could make this entrée into a sandwich.

What you’d get is bread around breading. Don't take the plunge. To increase my maritime sorrows, the chips or “real fries” were soggy, wilted and not dusted but gasping for air in a bright orange coating of spice. Two bites and I was done.

Thinking that a simpler item might yield better results, we tried a grilled fish bowl ($13, no extra charge for mahi-mahi). And, like the poke bowl, the fish was fine, unexceptional really, and very plain with “seasoned rice, herb sauce, hand-picked salad.” Was everything better prepared and a healthier family meal than a trip to a Ronald McDonald’s? Absolutely. Would I go out of my to eat one of their tacos over a return trip to one of my favorite taquerias or food trucks? Not for treasure down in Davy Jones’ Locker.

Some of the world’s most talented people are unabashed about acknowledging their own abilities.

Others are bad at feigning humility.

But watching interviews of Alex Honnold—the 33-year-old professional rock climber famous for scaling monumental sheer stone faces without safety equipment— it’s hard to conclude that he is anything other than pathologically humble. Some say his 2017 ropeless ascent of El Capitan is the greatest sporting achievement ever.

He says he’s “never been gifted.” The focus of the Oscar-winning 2018 documentary Free Solo comes to Sunnyvale’s Planet Granite this week to sign autographs, chat with fans and get on the wall if there’s time.

Though it was spawned from a roiling fusion of sludgy blues riffs and occult imagery, heavy metal music shares more common threads with Vivaldi and Wagner than with Johnson and John Lee. Case in point: Tobias Sammet’s metal opera supergroup, Avantasia.

Led by former Edguy frontman Sammet and featuring the likes of Mr. Big’s Eric Martin and Geoff Tate of Queensrÿche, Avantasia takes swirling symphonic textures and smashes them together with piercing guitar leads and gritty vocal lines. Avantasia comes to town this weekend on the heels of Moonglow, their eighth LP— which features a head-banging rendition of Michael Sembello’s “Maniac.” (ER)

Talamantes is from San Jose, but this is the pair’s first time bringing their Art Critique Comedy Show to town. In the past, they’ve ruminated on a “very nicely done” painting of Bruce Willis—with a demon peeking out where his bald head should be—and a cheap acrylic that Cerminara mused may have come from an “amateur tattoo artist's sketchbook.” A pre-show Happy Hour and “Title This” competition at SJICA starts at 5pm.

NLY PICO IYER would compare crumbling maple leaves to the deteriorating health of his elder Japanese in-laws.

In Japan, as he notes in his new book, Autumn Light: Season of Fire and Farewells, distinctions between sadness and beauty are not so clear as they are in the West.

An American travel writer born in Britain to Indian parents and educated at Oxford, Iyer has spent decades embroidering the threads of his own Western and Eastern identities. This time around, his

meditative new book is both an ode to the season of autumn and a gloriously plotless contemplation on the impermanence of life.

While traveling on assignment, Iyer learns about the passing of his wife Hiroko’s 91-year-old father. After Iyer returns home, death penetrates everything. Hiroko’s widowed mother then grows senile, sometimes unable to remember that her husband of 60 years is actually dead.

And then there’s the ever-growing estrangement of Hiroko’s brother, a Jungian analyst who lives nearby but has long since disowned his family.

The rest of the narrative explores how the Japanese deal with death,

loss, emotional distance and the relativity of sadness, all through the lens of autumn, with interludes from Thoreau, Basho and Leonard Cohen.

“Autumn is the season of subtractions, the Japanese art of taking more and more away to charge the few things that remain,” Iyer writes. “At least four times as many classical poems are set in autumn and spring, the seasons of transition, than in summer and winter.”

The book reads like one of those classic poems, yet with a Zenstyle emphasis on the unfolding background of everyday life. Iyer even writes that when East Asian students are shown a painting, they notice the background as surely as Westerners tend to see the figures in the foreground.

As such, Autumn Light is almost all background, all middle, without a real beginning or end. There is no plot in the Western sense, nothing that goes from point A to point B in linear fashion. Instead we get the ins and outs of Iyer’s daily routines in the cookie-cutter Nara suburb of Deer’s Slope, “a bright rectilinear

neighborhood of vending machines and hair salons.” We learn about his evening trips to the health club to play ping-pong with his senior friends, each one of which seems to have a different method for dealing with his or her own autumn years. We get his trips to the post office, his journeys up the mountain, or his regular household existence with Hiroko, whose life of seasonal procedures, superstitions and simplicities forms a wonderful counterpart to Iyer’s complex inner-voyaging. Even after a quarter century of sharing a tiny flat, she has little sense of the details involved with what he does for a living and he claims little knowledge of the minutiae of her retail job.

Autumn reigns supreme throughout the story. Even as Iyer travels for good portions of the year, every year, he always returns to Japan for autumn. What he loves most about Nara, in particular, is its neglectedness, he says. The city carries “a slightly forlorn quality, making it almost a monument to autumn.”

Iyer’s published his first book on Japan in 1991. The Lady and the Monk documented the first year he spent in Kyoto, when he first met Hiroko.

Intermittent reverberations from that book emerge in Autumn Light, woven into the current-day story, amplifying how Japan has taught Iyer to deal with aging, time, grief and loss in ways that are lost on the average Westerner.

But Autumn Light is not a “part two” of the first book. Iyer now looks back with a half-lifetime of wisdom to reflect on what he’s learned over his half-Japanese existence.

This “is not a sequel to the book I wrote on Japan 28 years ago, except insofar as autumn is a sequel—a prequel—to spring, the companion piece that rounds the picture out,” he writes.

Toward the end, Hiroko is trying to read a draft of the autumn book that Iyer is working on. As he tries to explain it, she asks if it’s like a Yasujiro Ozu film, a “little no-action movie.” Perhaps she knows Iyer more than he realizes.

REVIEW

VISIT US & TASTE WHY WE WERE VOTED BEST NEW RESTAURANT

AGENT, 86 Judi Dench is Red Joan in the fictionalized version of the Melita Norwood case.

Tinker, Tailor, Geezer IN MAY 2000, an aged British woman named Joan (Judi Dench) is puttering around her house when a squad of Special Branch police knock on her door, coming to arrest her on a charge of 27 counts of breaking the Official Secrets Act. The John LeCarrean beginning of Red Joan is intriguing. Moreover, it has a basis in truth—Trevor Nunn’s film is an adaptation of Jeanne Rooney’s novel, itself a fictionalized version of the actual Melita Norwood case. And it’s clear something was lost in the translation.

In flashbacks we see Joan’s youth at Cambridge in the late 1930s; played by the pretty but uninvolving Sophie Cookson, she was a drab science student who got swept into a friendship with a dashing older student, Sonya (Tereza Srbova), and her brother Leo (Tom Hughes).

The pair of dazzling foreigners are ardent Communists who try to recruit Joan into the party.

Red Joan Over the course of many decades, Joan is mixed up with them, carrying on an affair with Leo that lasts R; 110 Mins. into the war years. Matters get troublesome when 3Below Theaters Leo presses Joan to spy for the Party; she’s now an & Lounge assistant to a research scientist (Stephen Campbell 3belowtheaters.com Moore). Her boss loves her, but he’s trapped in one of those Graham Greene escape-proof marriages.

It’s too easy to say Dench is this film’s only redeeming value, yet it’s too difficult to try to find other good points about this stodgy romance.

Nunn’s nostalgia for the coziness of England, from pristine tea shops to the smooching on the banks of the river Cam dilutes this story; the director couldn’t have made wartime England prettier if he worked for Disney.

He speeds over the actual suspense—the incidents of Joan’s spying—as if that were the least interesting part of the story. But Dench works her craft in her too-few scenes, sneakily changing before our eyes from an oatmeal-colored dodderer blanched in the too-bright lights of the cop shop to a keen conniver ready to extenuate herself. She has an argument for her treachery, and shaky as it is, Dench sells it at the end.

The real Norwood, rumored to have been a particularly valuable Soviet asset, was what they used to call a “red-diaper baby”—the daughter of Communist parents, born to the cause. Evoking sympathy for Stalinists is tough today, but Dench’s speech at the end is as close as our cinema is going to get to a defense of the USSR. —Richard von Busack

CULT FOLLOWING The Manson Family is revisited by ‘American Psycho’ director Mary Harrison.

Savage Messiah Mary Harrison takes intriguing, feminist slant on the Manson Family saga

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

H

ERE COMES THE 50th anniversary of the great Los Angeles creepycrawl. It’s soon to be celebrated—let’s face it, he’ll celebrate it—by Quentin Tarantino in his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Coming first to theaters is Charlie Says, Mary Harron’s far more low-key account of three women involved in the TateLaBianca murders.

Harron’s film gets the milieu, the angle and the details right. To properly tell the story of the Manson gang, one needs a certain fellow feeling for the hippies. Without compassion for a life

of flamboyant laziness, the Mansons will seem incomprehensible, some unique Southern California plague like pet-eating coyotes, brushfires and the Santa Ana winds.

Harron’s sympathy for devils was previously seen in her much-praised adaptation of American Psycho (2000) and I Shot Andy Warhol (1996) about the polemicist and street-lunatic Valerie Solanas. Charlie Says is more thoughtful work, less studiously hip than its predecessors.

Essential to Charlie Says’ quality is Harron’s refusal to make a monster out of Manson. He’s well played by ex-Doctor Who star Matt Smith, whose foxy face and intimidating forehead are barely recognizable under all the hair. Smith’s Manson is capable of

easy-going charm and odd playfulness, though he’s also a deceiver, a drill sergeant, a poisonous pedagogue.

Charlie Says clears up the dirt-common jailbird attitudes Manson shrouded in a cloud of incense.

Working from a script by Guinevere Turner (Go Fish), Harron builds this story the simplest way. It shuttles back and forth between the lead-up to the murders and several years later, when three women of the imprisoned family are in an isolation ward in prison. It’s “inspired” by two books about the gang, Ed Sanders’ The Family (the musician and poet Sanders is credited as executive producer) as well as Karlene Faith’s The Long Prison Journey of Leslie van Houten: Life Beyond the Cult. The late Faith (played by Merritt Wever), a UC Santa Cruz PhD in anthropology, was an activist for prisoner’s rights who taught classes to Susan Atkins (Marianne Rendon), Patricia Krenwinkel (Sosie Bacon) and Leslie van Houten (Hannah Murray).

At the beginning of Charlie Says, the three women are brainwashed and bliss-whipped. They quote Manson adoringly as if he were Chairman Mao (“Charlie says…” begins almost every one of their sentences). So Faith acts

as both consciousness-raiser and cult deprogrammer.

Van Houten, whom Manson rechristened “Lulu,” is our entry into the gang. She’s a soft, drifting girl who could get pulled in by anyone who seemed sure of himself. Charlie Says insists there was a time when it was good to be a Mansonette, when life was a long stoned orgy in Topanga Canyon. They survive through a mix of panhandling, trading sexual favors and dumpster diving. Charlie, building the gang of girls up with praise, is just as capable of lashing out, informing Lulu she couldn’t understand him with her “tiny female brain”.

Charlie Says finds some evil humor in Manson. Here he was—Jesus returned and the fifth horseman of the apocalypse—fretting over the approval of the late Doris Day’s recordproducing son Terry Melcher (Bryan Adrian), fetching himself a Buffalo Bill suit and setting up a pathetic topless go-go girl show to impress Melcher. It’s an irony of Los Angeles history that one of the most fearful men who ever dwelled there was, ultimately, just one more thwarted performer in a city full of them.

It’s more than just the needle drops of the angst-loaded psychedelic band Love that make this film evocative; photographer Crille Forsberg captures the fresh late-’60s light in those hills, as well as the blue sad days in prison.

The adroit casting of Grace van Dien as Sharon Tate sets up the opposition between the scrounging Family and the kind of world that gets seen during a Golden Globes telecast. The horror of this us-vs.-them attitude comes out in the massacres. Charlie Says doesn’t roll in the gore—it just sums it up in a few sharp scenes, as when Rosemary LaBianca (Jackie Joyner) fends off a knife-wielder with a bedroom lamp, like a duelist parrying a thrust.

Harron is compassionate enough to envision an alternate ending to Van Houten’s path. If the Mansons were indeed werewolves, as they were called, they shared the werewolves’ tragedy of coming to as humans after the carnage they had caused.

A MASSIVE BALD eagle composed entirely of dimes, nickels and pennies spreads its copper-red wings. Journals bound by needle, thread and a bookworm’s deft fingers. A diesel-powered submarine designed to give maritime hobbyists access to depths once reserved for only the most advanced divers. All these objects and more will be at this year’s Maker Faire at the San Mateo County Event Center.

Since 2006, Maker Faire has given a platform and a playground to creative innovators and their fans. This year’s lineup features a multitude of makers—from vinyl screen printers to the pilot of “Maria Del Camino,” an art car that marries the body of a 1959 El Camino and the mechanical bones of a Komatsu excavator. Her driver, Bruce Tomb explains that the vehicle is the closest he’ll ever get to piloting a flying car.

At this year’s fair, virtual reality and augmented reality exhibits find their place among an audience that Maker Faire loves to transcend the everyday. Leo Madrid invites visitors to take a seat in his AEthernaut chair, an AR May 17-19 journey meant to elicit the sensation of a meditative San Mateo County state, simulated here without the deep breaths.

Event Center Casual and seasoned robot-builders show off their makerfaire.com creations—a paintball cannon, life-size R2-D2s and BB-8s, and the 14.5-foot “Rearing Horse.”

Melodie Yasha, co-founder of SEArch+ (Space Exploration Architecture)—which won a top prize from NASA for a project that successfully 3D-printed with ice—will give a presentation on endeavors to 3D-print a habitable high-tech igloo on Mars.

Of course, Maker Faire is about more than robots and circuit boards.

Expert woodworkers will demonstrate how relevant their craft still is. Matt Berger carves handmade timber skateboards and teardrop trailers, while Cal Poly engineering student Josh Warner shapes bicycle frames out of wood, adding a timeless finish to the classically eco-friendly mode of transportation.

This fair is family-friendly, featuring plenty of displays and activities geared toward children. Soap-making, kite-making and multiple Apps for Kids workshops provide space for learning and entertainment. Visitors of all ages can learn how to solder and code, and there are several young innovators participating, such as 15-year-old maker Walden Schafer and his remote-controlled “mean, clean washing machine.”

Other makers offer the opportunity to interact with projects that involve sustainable living, food making (cheese, sauerkraut, spice and tea-blending) and the electroformation of organic materials into metal. —Erika Rasmussen

WINTER SUN With their new single, ‘Polar Nights,’ San Jose band Life Size Models aim to shed some light on a dark subject.

Black Light Rising local band Life Size Models address depression on new single, ‘Polar Nights’

BY MIKE HUGUENOR

T

WO AND A half minutes into Life Size Models’ new single “Polar Nights,” something truly unexpected happens.

“Deflecting people away from what’s really going on with me is just what I do,” states an unannounced (and decidedly British) voice.

As the song settles into the bridge between its second and third choruses, the male voice goes on, as the band continues to back him up. When you project an image of yourself as being stable and happy, “people just assume you are,” the speaker says.

“That’s a guy named Jake Tyler,” says Chris Seymour, the band’s singer. “He did a TED Talk. He’s on Instagram.”

In the year 2019, breaking new ground in rock music isn’t an easy task. But by sampling a TED Talk in a single, Life Size Models just might have done it.

What Tyler is talking about in his TED Talk is depression, the subject of “Polar Nights.” Though it went undiagnosed, Seymour says that both he and his twin brother Steven (also the band’s guitarist) have experienced the illness. More importantly, depression has taken the lives of

more than one close friend. Sadly, Seymour’s original writing partner, one of the founding members of Life Size Models, was one.

“I think everybody has been affected by it to some degree,” Seymour tells me over the phone on his lunch break.

“But it’s sort of a stigmatized, private kind of issue. It’s difficult to talk about, so we wanted to write a song that acknowledged it. That’s why we chose to add the sample, the voiceover in the middle, cause that’s somebody that literally is diagnosed.”

If the name “Polar Nights” sounds a bit like Arctic Monkeys (Boreal imagery + plural noun), the song does, too. Co-written with his twin brother, Seymour says they both love that band, along with The National and The Replacements. “Polar Nights” sounds a bit like all of them put together: anthemic, pensive and rollicking, all in turn.

“Even on the sunny days I’m inside/ watching televised versions/of my life pass me by,” he sings, before the chorus lyric: “I want to see the sun.”

The single comes out this Friday, and will be available on streaming services. While no album is currently in the works, Life Size Models have more singles in mind.

“We’re approaching it song by song,” Seymour says. “We think that’s more effective in the long term because we get people to focus on individual songs, as opposed to putting out a record and hoping someone ‘takes a listen.’”

Seymour’s thinking reflects a larger trend: a marked shift in the way some bands are recording and releasing music these days. Recently, many bands have articulated this same plan, citing Spotify and other streaming services as motivation for pivoting away from albums, moving instead to a model of releasing consecutive singles. Last month, San Jose poppunk band 5606 told Metro they had similar plans (their single “Keeping Count” came out Apr 24). When I interviewed Stephen Jenkins back in 2017, he had the same thing in mind for Third Eye Blind.

Life Size Models count themselves as fans of Third Eye Blind.

Noticeably, though, it’s not because of the material released under the Spotify model.

“We’re huge fans of that first record,” Seymour says.

There’s no denying that the music industry has changed lately, as pop and hip-hop artists embrace a oneat-a-time release schedule. The jury is still out on whether the model will work for historically album-oriented rock genre. Regardless, Life Size Models are committed to their game plan. More importantly, they hope “Polar Nights” connects with people who need connection.

“Sometimes you end up cutting yourself off, maybe assuming you’re not going to be valuable to somebody that you care about,” Seymour says. “This song is kind of an acknowledgement of that feeling, and also a reassurance that it’s OK. That it’s going to pass.”

ADVICE GODDESS By AMY ALKON

metroactive.com | sanjose.com | metrosiliconvalley.com | MAY 15-21, 2019

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

My boyfriend and I are in a long-distance relationship (for almost four years) that works very well, talking daily and seeing each other every two months. The problem is that it feels like he has much more love for me than I have for him. (He’s totally head over heels and expresses this constantly.) I absolutely do love him, and I tell him frequently. But my love intensity just does not match his. Additionally, I should mention that I’ve tried to leave him in the past. I didn't think the relationship was serving me. He is married and technically unavailable. (He is working toward dissolving the marriage.) Also, he works hard but has no financial resources. I do want to stay in the relationship, but I’m not sure how to deal with the imbalance in expressiveness. I don’t want to be inauthentic.—Pressured You’re dating a man who not only is still married but needs to crowdfund his divorce.

Many women believe it’s somehow nobler if they love a poor dude, telling themselves (and often the guy) that they don’t really care about money. But as I often point out, because women are the ones who get pregnant, female emotions evolved to make women feel bad—resentful, angry, screwed over— when they get involved with men who are (for example!) still “married and technically unavailable” and have “no financial resources.” Boyfriend: “Hey, honey, got ya a great birthday present, and you won’t be charged for it till your next credit card statement!”

And even if a woman is a staunch feminist, all “I don’t care who the earner in the relationship is,” the psychological operating system driving us right now is adapted for ancestral times and the problems that arose then. So it just keeps on keepin’ on, pushing a woman to go for men who can “provide,” even when she’s on the birth controlliest birth control (like a copper IUD).

In other words, you are not getting the long end of the stick here, financially or commitment-wise, and evolution has programmed you to be nagged by feelbad emotions until you do something to change that. Your boyfriend, meanwhile, surely has some feelbad of his own.

Because men coevolved with women, male psychology leads men to anticipate that female romantic partners who feel shorted on cash flow and/or commitment will soon be conducting their exit interview.

In light of this, your boyfriend’s expressing love in the manner of a burst water main may be a form of “mate guarding,” evolutionary psychologists’ term for attempts to fend off mate poachers and keep one’s partner in the relationship. Because we humans have an evolved motivation to reciprocate—to give back what we get in equal measure— it’s possible that the more romantically

expressive your boyfriend is, the more you’re led to feel you’re shorting him on what he seems to be owed.

But is the apparent emotional asymmetry here actually a problem?

Many people do make the assumption that romantic partners’ love should be 50-50 and that there’s something wrong with the relationship when it isn’t.

However, what really matters is whether there’s enough love on each side to keep the partners together.

Accordingly, consider whether the longdistance aspect might be staving off feelings and conflict that could come out if you two were living together. Research repeatedly finds that women tend to resent male partners who aren’t their equals or betters in job status and earnings. For example, a study by business school professor Alyson Byrne finds that a woman’s having higher job status (and the money that comes with) often leads to marital instability and divorce. She and her colleague even find that women experience “status leakage,” finding the status they’ve earned through their work diminished by virtue of their having a lower-status spouse.

As for you, you say you want to stay in the relationship, presumably because you love your boyfriend. However, it’s also possible that your being in the relationship for a while—almost four years—is keeping you in the relationship. Consider what economists call the “sunk cost fallacy,” the human tendency to keep investing in a project based on the time, energy, and/or resources we’ve already “sunk” into it. Of course, the rational approach is deciding to continue based on whether the investment will pay off sufficiently in the future.

Looking at your situation that way should help you make a decision. At the moment, as I see it, there’s nothing standing between the two of you riding off into the sunset together...pulling a wagon carrying his current wife, their couples therapist, a divorce mediator and several collection agents.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Dave Barry, "The method of learning Japanese recommended by experts is to be born as a Japanese baby and raised by a Japanese family, in Japan." As you enter an intensely educational phase of your astrological cycle, I suggest you adopt a similar strategy toward learning new skills and mastering unfamiliar knowledge and absorbing fresh information. Immerse yourself in environments that will efficiently and effectively fill you with the teachings you need. A more casual, slapdash approach just won't enable you to take thorough advantage of your current opportunities to expand your repertoire.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I think it's time for a sacred celebration: a blow-out extravaganza filled with reverence and revelry, singing and dancing, sensual delights and spiritual blessings. What is the occasion? After all these eons, your lost love has finally returned. And who exactly is your lost love?

You! You are your own lost love! Having weaved and wobbled through countless adventures full of rich lessons, the missing part of you has finally wandered back. So give yourself a flurry of hugs and kisses. Start planning the jubilant hoopla. And exchange ardent vows, swearing that you'll never be parted again.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Louvre in Paris is the world's biggest art museum. Over 35,000 works are on display, packed into 15 acres. If you wanted to see every piece, devoting just a minute to each, you would have to spend eight hours a day there for many weeks. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because I suspect that now would be a good time for you to treat yourself to a marathon gaze-fest of art in the Louvre—or any other museum. For that matter, it's a favorable phase to gorge yourself on any beauty anywhere that will make your soul freer and smarter and happier. You will thrive to the degree that you absorb a profusion of grace, elegance, and loveliness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In my astrological

opinion, you now have a mandate to exercise your rights to free speech with acute vigor. It's time to articulate all the important insights you've been waiting for the right moment to call to everyone's attention. It's time to unearth the buried truths and veiled agendas and ripening mysteries. It's time to be the catalyst that helps your allies to realize what's real and important, what's fake and irrelevant. I'm not saying you should be rude, but I do encourage you to be as candid as is necessary to nudge people in the direction of authenticity.

its arrival will change them forever. And amazingly, many of those people have experienced the resulting change as tonic and interesting, not primarily painful.

In fact, I've come to believe that the act of eagerly welcoming change-inducing grace makes it more likely that the changes will be tonic and interesting.

Everything I've just said will especially apply to you in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There's a certain

problem that has in my opinion occupied too much of your attention. It's really rather trivial in the big picture of your life, and doesn't deserve to suck up so much of your attention. I suspect you will soon see things my way, and take measures to move on from this energy sink. Then you'll be free to focus on a more interesting and potentially productive dilemma—a twisty riddle that truly warrants your loving attention. As you work to solve it, you will reap rewards that will be useful and enduring.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Hélène

Cixous articulated a poetically rigorous approach to love. I'll tell you about it, since in my astrological opinion, you're entering a phase when you'll be wise to upgrade and refine your definitions of love, even as you upgrade and refine your practice of love. Here's Cixous: "I want to love a person freely, including all her secrets. I want to love in this person someone she doesn't know. I want to love outside the law: without judgment. Without imposed preference. Does that mean outside morality? No. Only this: without fault. Without false, without true. I want to meet her between the words, beneath language."

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn author

Henry Miller wrote that his master plan was "to remain what I am and to become more and more only what I am—that is, to become more miraculous." This is an excellent strategy for your use. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to renounce any tendency you might have to compare yourself to anyone else. You'll attract blessings as you wean yourself from imagining that you should live up to the expectations of others or follow a path that resembles theirs. So here's my challenge: I dare you to become more and more only what you are—that is, to become more miraculous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): London's British

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): During summers in the

Museum holds a compendium of artifacts from the civilizations of many different eras and locations.

Author Jonathan Stroud writes that it's "home to a million antiquities, several dozen of which were legitimately come by." Why does he say that?

Because so many of the museum's antiquities were pilfered from other cultures. In accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you to fantasize about a scenario in which the British Museum's administrators return these treasures to their original owners. When you're done with that imaginative exercise, move on to the next one, which is to envision scenarios in which you recover the personal treasures and goodies and powers that you have been separated from over the years.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It's time for you to reach

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "I hate it when people tell me that I should 'get out of my comfort zone,'" writes Piscean blogger Rosespell. "I don't even have a comfort zone. My discomfort zone is pretty much everywhere." I have good news for Rosespell and all of you Pisceans who might be inclined to utter similar testimony: The coming weeks will feature conditions that make it far more likely than usual that you will locate or create a real comfort zone you can rely on.

For best results, cultivate a vivid expectation that such a sweet development is indeed possible.

far northern land of Alaska, many days have 20 hours of sunlight. Farmers take advantage of the extra photosynthesis by growing vegetables and fruits that are bigger and sweeter than crops grown further south. During the Alaska State Fair every August, you can find prodigies like 130pound cabbages and 65-pound cantaloupes. I suspect you'll express a comparable fertility and productiveness during the coming weeks, Leo. You're primed to grow and create with extra verve.

So let me ask you a key question: To which part of your life do you want to dedicate that bonus power?

higher and dig deeper. So don't be a mere tinkerer nursing a lukewarm interest in mediocre stories and trivial games. Be a strategic adventurer in the service of exalted stories and meaningful games.

In fact, I feel strongly that if you're not prepared to go all the way, you shouldn't go at all. Either give everything you've got or else keep it contained for now. Can you handle one further piece of strenuous advice, my dear? I think you will thrive as long as you don't settle for business as usual or pleasure as usual. To claim the maximum vitality that's available, you'll need to make exceptions to at least some of your rules.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "All human nature

vigorously resists grace because grace changes us and the change is painful," wrote author Flannery O'Connor. I think that's an observation worth considering. But I've also seen numerous exceptions to her rule. I know people who have eagerly welcomed grace into their lives even though they know that
