(Also in fairness, no one is more petrified to rock the boat than Wasserman, who is up for re-election in 2014.) Cortese’s office said email was the best way to reach the supervisor, but apparently he couldn’t pull himself away from the beach, or at least that’s what pictures on his Facebook page suggest. But, in fairness to Cortese, we’re still a year out until he plans to run for mayor of San Jose—the city that would be most affected by a disruption in ambulance services that he voted for.

As the most famous person in the world with a severe spectrum disorder, Grandin understands the potential locked inside. The world-renowned animal behaviorist and motivational speaker will touch down in Campbell Friday for a lecture at the Future Horizons Autism Conference, where she’ll discuss the roadblocks she faced in becoming Temple Grandin an expert in her field and how to accommodate speaks about autism neurological differences in the classroom. Grandin’s mother, Eustacia Cutler, will also speak at the event.

Fri, July 26, 1pm $65 and up Cutler raised Grandin in the 1950s and ’60s, during a time when autism was just named and misunderstood, Campbell Heritage as a psychosis triggered by emotionally distant mothers.

Theatre “I was very fortunate,” says Grandin, who became the first person in the world with autism to write an fhautism.com autobiography that offered a glimpse into the autistic mind. “My mother got very good advice from a neurologist in Boston who gave the same type of treatment that’s done today. Basically, he said, you have got to work with these kids. You can’t let them sit in the corner rocking.”

Treatment of autism disorders is much the same as what that doctor advised, but the education system has become less accommodating, Grandin says.

“There’s a lot of anxiety for [those with autism] because some personal social circuits are not hooked up,” explains Grandin, whose own brain processes information in photo-realistic slideshows, much like a library of Google images, while skipping social cues like facial expression and displays of emotion.

GILROY GILR OY GARLIC FE FESTIVAL ST TIV VA AL

“The problem I’m seeing, and what I want to talk about, is that kids aren’t pushed enough,” says Grandin, who began working a sewing job when she was 13 and spent her later teen years helping out at a relative’s cattle ranch, which sparked in her a fascination that led to a career as a leading expert in livestock facility engineering. “This was during a time when they threw those of us on the severe end of the spectrum into institutions. They just put us away.”

Though she’s touched on more controversial issues of vaccine-caused autism in the past, diplomatically entertaining the possibility that maybe some children regressed into autism post-vaccination, she declines to comment on the subject now.

suitability of Cecily (Jessica Waldman) marrying into her family— till she learns of the girl’s fortune.

Funny in Earnest ARRIVING TO lance the boils of pretension and hypocrisy is Stanford Summer Theater’s production of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People. As part of SST’s 15th anniversary festival, Wilde’s play is presented alongside the contrasting work of a fellow Irish expatriate, Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days, as well as a film series and symposium. With great attention to detail in every facet of the production, as well as the appearance of The Importance of several distinguished actors, this is not what typically Being Earnest comes to mind when you think of college theater.

Thru Aug. 11 at the Austin Caldwell is a smug yet charmingly rakish Pigott Theater, 551 Algernon Moncrieff, while David Raymond provides Serra Mall, Stanford an appropriately more restrained Jack Worthing. In the play, both characters are leading double lives that allow $15-$25 them to skirt their responsibilities, but prove more sst.stanford.edu. trouble than they’re worth while courting love interests Cecily (Jessica Waldman) and Gwendolen (Ruth Marks).

As Gwendolen’s overbearing mother, Lady Bracknell, Courtney Walsh affects an amusing, low-pitched turgidity which alludes to the tradition of men performing the role in drag. Don DeMico appears in dual, long-suffering butler roles, while Kay Kostopoulos and Marty Pistone round out the cast as the additional comic figures of governess Miss Prism and the Reverend Chasuble.

While the production comes off as a bit more twee than one might wish for, it nevertheless makes for a delightful evening. With the lush aestheticism of the decorations, the intricate costumes and even an original piece of faux-1890s music created for a brief sequence in which Algernon plays piano offstage, there is enough period-piece charm to placate any confirmed Victoriana fetishist.

At the same time, SST has managed to demonstrate the timeless quality of Oscar Wilde's humor. It has the audience laughing continuously—not the strained laughter that theatergoers will often emit to show how erudite they are, but genuine mirth. That’s because after some hundred years in the standard repertoire, in the right hands, Being Earnest is still immensely funny. The repartee between the actors here is a joy to watch, and whether it’s Algernon and Jack arguing the pros and cons of Bunburyism or Gwendolen explaining why “Ernest” is the only acceptable name for her future husband, fine comic timing is always on display.—Sean Conwell

Sweet Transvestites THE 1975 FILM version of Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Show has proven such an enduring cultural phenomenon that, at least in the United States, it has overshadowed the original stage musical. With the film still appearing regularly at many cinemas (like the Camera 3 and Guild Theatre here in Silicon Valley), it’s easy to forget that the musical was quite a phenomenon The Rocky Horror Show in its own right and in some places (the U.K., for instance) can actually be easier to find than a midnight screening of the movie version. However, once you’ve seen a live production of the musical, like the one currently at City Lights Theater Company, it’s not so easy to forget.

Through Aug. 25 at City Lights Theater Company, 529 S. 2nd St., San Jose.

$19.95-$34.95. www.cltc.org.

At CLTC, Chase Campbell and Alicia Gangi Malone portray the naïve couple Brad and Janet, who stumble upon the lair of transvestite mad scientist Dr. Frank N. Furter (played with cool licentiousness by Nathaniel Rothrock) and his entourage of assorted weirdos.

Perhaps you’re a fan of the movie but still a “virgin” in regards to the musical, in which case there are some things to be aware of. Here, Frank N. Furter’s creation Rocky (Michael Weiland in a gold speedo) can talk, and does so frequently. Some of the songs are arranged differently, and there is one number (“Once In a While,” sung by Campbell) which was cut from the film. There are some other minor differences that can make you look like a major square if you shout out the wrong call backs, so participate with care!

Matthew Gregg and Annie Donahey are undoubtedly the best parts of the show as Frank N. Furter’s skulking assistants, Riff Raff and Magenta (Donahey is also the “Usherette” who kicks things off with a dreamy rendition of “Science Fiction Double Feature”). Beyond this, CLTC’s production has everything you could want from Rocky Horror: a basic, trashy design reminiscent of B-movie schlock, choreography that uses the theater’s small space to its fullest effect, and a group of talented “Phantoms” providing backup singing and dancing. There are a few points at which the backstage band drowns out the singers’ voices, but for the most part the music, which places a strong emphasis on the show’s rock & roll aspects, sounds excellent. So go, have fun and do the “Time Warp” again. Your garter belt is optional.—Sean Conwell

REVIEW

THE GIRL NEXTDOOR Duncan (Liam James) romances neighbor girl (AnnaSophia Robb) in ‘The Way Way Back.’

Regression Study It’s hard to see what The Way, Way Back demonstrates more than Fox Searchlight’s still-unmatched skill at rolling out a little movie. Writer/ directors Nat Faxon and Joe Rush’s film is a puzzling mix of Meatballs and ’70s loco parentis drama, with authentic loco parents. It’s unstuck in time, from the very arrival of a 40-year-old station wagon full of angst in a 2013 movie.

The Way, Way Back is a movie that tries to be all things to all people, which may explain its terrific word-of-mouth.

But it seems adrift from the first 20 minutes, when Faxon and Rush unveil too many characters to process. All meeting at a Cape Cod beach house: newly divorced mom (Toni Collette), her stinky, car-peddling boyfriend (Steve Carell at his most wormish), wacky drunken neighbor (Alison Janney) and the upset 14-year-old Duncan (Liam James).

The biggest problem with Faxon and Rush’s script for The Descendants was the unimpeachable trustworthiness of George Clooney’s narration. They’re witty writers, but Faxon and Rush face the same problem here: The Way, Way Back is completely behind its young hero. It finds the partying adults’ behavior as disgusting as Duncan does. If James was making

a breakthrough performance, we might go along with this caricaturing.

But his Duncan is inert not wittily subversive; he isn’t flawed with any of an adolescent’s common problems except the most forgivable one, The Way, Way Back shyness.

PG-13; 103 min.

There are shades of Adventureland, with Plays locally its healing amusement park: Duncan is rescued

by Owen, played by Sam Rockwell, in one of the two or three tastiest parts he’s ever had. Owen is the Bill Murray-like manager of a water slide park called Water Wizz, and he’s so debonair that he wears an ascot with an aloha shirt. Now manned-up with a positive role model, Duncan is capable of a half-written romance with the nextdoor neighbor girl (AnnaSophia Robb) which mirrors Owen’s unresolvable relationship with his co-worker (Maya “The Ever-Pouter” Rudolph). But how interested is The Way, Way Back in the man-woman thing? When the elder man and the young kid bond, it gets so wet and slippery it’s no surprise Duncan keeps his summer job at the park a secret from his mother. —Richard von Busack

PLAYING POOL Detox Sunday—the popular pool party that ended its run in 2012—makes a return for one Sunday only, and in a new spot.

Detox Sunday Returns Following in the footsteps of Music in the Park, after ending its fiveyear run in 2012 Silicon Valley’s most popular pool party, Detox Sunday, returns on July 28 for one day only this year at the Silicon Valley Athletic Club.

When it started in 2008, despite a full-blown recession, it was an instant success. The idea was to bring the poolside, daytime club atmosphere of Rehab—the popular Vegas party—to San Jose.

Nothing like it had existed in the South Bay before, at least not in any consistent way.

In addition to its first ever non-hotel location, there’ll be a change in the music format. Prior events had mostly soulful house. At this event, the DJs will be also spinning pop, top 40 and a little bit of hip-hop.

Detox Sunday Returns Silicon Valley Athletic Club, San Jose July 28, noon, $25

These factors won’t change the popular Detox brand, which from 2008-2012 drew up to 1,000 people during the summer months.

There will still be lots of music, food, booze, shirtless men and bikiniclad women—the perfect environment for dancing, swimming or just lounging around nursing a hangover (or creating one).

The new location has some great perks: there’s a very nice outdoor pool, but most importantly it will be back in downtown San Jose—its home during the early years at Doubletree Hotel, as opposed to the last couple of years at the Beverly Heritage Hotel in Milpitas.

“When we found the opportunity to get it back in the heart of where it started, that was really the big driver as to why we moved it to the Athletic Club,” says Stephen Bradley, the promoter behind the return of Detox.

Detox Sunday starts at noon and continues until 8pm with DJs Amy Robbins, Playboi, DJ Weapon, Jose Melendez and Adam Cova.

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

A man my friend was crazy for just broke up with her. I kind of saw the breakup coming, as I thought they were too different, but she thinks he just falsely advertised who he really is. They met online, and he made himself out to be this guy who loves art and culture, which to her means going to museums, shows, and lectures and to him means staying home and making things. She now insists that the only way to meet people is in the activity you want them to be doing. For example, if you want a guy who likes art museums and going to cultural events (which she does), you’d better hang out in an art museum to find a date. I think it’s a mistake for her not to keep online dating, because I think she’ll meet a lot more men. —Friend Of Stubborn Woman People try to put their best foot forward on dating sites, and rather often, it turns out it’s not actually their foot.

Of course, deceptive self-marketing is not exclusive to online dating, and online dating does offer certain efficiencies that trying to meet a man at an art museum or cultural event does not. For example, people join a dating site specifically because they are looking for a partner. Some man you spot in a museum may also be looking for a partner—his wife, who was right behind him just a room ago.

It sounds like your friend is blaming the Internet because a guy she liked didn’t like her back. They maybe both projected what they wanted on each other and needed to dig deeper to find out who the person they were dating really was. This is what dating is for. It’s supposed to be a process of finding out about a person, not “I baited the hook; I caught the fish; now let’s decide what’s for dinner at the wedding!”

We often don’t need anybody to go to the trouble of deceiving us. We do that really well on our own, like by telling ourselves we’ve found the “perfect person” and ignoring any evidence to the contrary. Instead, there needs to be a vetting process, whether you meet a man online or at an artwalk. It involves asking questions and looking to see who he is and being willing to find out that he isn’t right for you. This vetting is essential because, wherever you meet men, there’s one thing many will have in common: insisting they’re interested in whatever you are if they think you’re hot. Try to help your friend see that holing up in the art museum isn’t the answer.

Sure, it might be kismet that Mr. Dreamypants is standing in the lobby right next to her favorite sculpture, or he might just be waiting to enjoy the work of Sir John Harrington, the guy who invented the flush toilet found in the free public bathroom.

I'm 5’8”; my fiance is just at 5’7”. I’m only comfortable when he wears lifts, especially if I’m wearing heels. It may not seem like a big height difference, but when he doesn’t wear them, he feels like my son. I know they’re uncomfortable, and he sometimes doesn’t feel up to wearing them. Mostly, though, he won’t let me see him without them, because he knows I'm way more attracted to him when he’s a tad taller. I feel bad about this, and I’ve prayed that one day, my strong love for him will let me ignore this minor “flaw.”—Trying To Get Above It The dream was tall, dark, and handsome. Not elfish, dark, and handsome. Still, the problem here could be seen another way: You need to be shorter. Unfortunately, accomplishing that is the less practical solution, as it would require a saw. It might help to understand that you want him to be taller not because you’re a bad person but because you’re a product of human evolution. In our ancestral past, height in a man likely had mating and survival advantages. (The short caveman would have been less able to reach the lion with his spear: “Take that, you big meanie!”)

As for what to do in the present, elevator shoes might be the solution you’re both looking for. While lifts are inserts stuck into the shoe, mainly raising the heel, elevator shoes, which can be custommade by a podiatrist, have a hidden platform built in throughout the shoe.

The latest models are cleverly designed and appear to be normal footwear. This means that a man needn’t suffer the discomfort of tromping around in heels just to be attractive to his partner. (Next thing you know, he’ll be complaining about the scratchy red lace and underwire digging into his flesh.)

By CECIL ADAMS

CECIL@METRONEWS.COM

Does winning the Miss America title give the ladies a start on financial success?

Or is it just something to list as an extracurricular, like a guy being an Eagle Scout? —Martha The Miss America title—boy, there’s a much-devalued commodity. Once the pageant was one of the biggest events on television, with 85 million viewers in 1960.

Today ratings have fallen so low the contest briefly lost its big-time network slot and was consigned to basic cable.

Nonetheless, the fact that Miss America has been strutting her stuff since 1921 gives us a chance for a long-term look at whether being officially declared beautiful (and talented, let’s not forget that) pays off.

As usual I delegated the job to my assistant Una, as usual she made a spreadsheet, and as so often we had acrimony and slammed doors.

The point of contention was the criteria for judging success. Una looked at how the lives of each of the 87 winners from 1921 to 2013 turned out and categorized them as Dismal, Humdrum, Successful, and Star.

Spreadsheet v1, it seemed to me, betrayed a retrograde notion of what constituted success.

“Una,” I said,“the major lifetime achievement of Norma Smallwood, Miss America 1926, was to marry two millionaires, and you’re categorizing her as a Star. Whereas 1996 winner Shawntel Smith became executive vice president of administration for IT firm PBH Holdings, and you’re calling that Humdrum. What kind of message does that send to young women?”

“Shawntel Smith is married to the rich guy who ran PBH Holdings, which went through numerous reorganizations and name changes and lost hundreds of millions of dollars before he was forced out of the company amid accusations of shady dealing,” Una said.“To me the message is things haven’t changed much since the 1920s. She’s lucky I didn’t put her down as Dismal.”

“OK, not the best example,” I said.“Just the same we need a more systematic method of evaluation. Can you give it another go?”

By and by I received spreadsheet v2.

This was an improvement. Miss America winners were now scored on a range of criteria, ranging from “married rich” (hey, we’re realists) to impact in politics, activism, and showbiz, plus professional and educational attainment.

The scale of achievement also changed.

No Miss America, in Una’s estimation, had led a truly Dismal life. Instead, the continuum of accomplishment started

11 67

at Meh and ran up through Modest and Successful to Star.

The problem was the results didn’t pass the sanity test. The Miss America winners who had been most conspicuously successful didn’t crack the Stellar ranks.

I know you specified financial success, Martha, but I thought we should cast a wider net, including fame and professional distinction in addition to fortune. After much angst we came up with a measure of the first two commodities, namely, the length of each winner’s Wikipedia entry, on the possibly debatable two-part theory that,(a) long entry=noteworthy life=success, and (b) Wikipedia=vox populi=voice of God. By this measure, three-quarters of the Misses America went on to become Successful or better. The women were attractive and ambitious and knew how to make an impression. If you can’t parlay that into a comfortable lifestyle, you’re doing something seriously wrong.

Perhaps more interesting is that one in nine became Stars, typically in the Hollywood sense of the term. A sampling: Bess Myerson, who won the 1945 title, remained in the public eye for decades, first as a TV game-show regular and later as a New York City public official and politician.

(Later still, things went off the rails: she took up with a crook who did time for tax fraud, was forced from office by scandal, and pleaded guilty to shoplifting in 1988.)

Lee Meriwether, Miss America 1955, has enjoyed a showbiz career that so far has spanned more than 50 years, and earning several Golden Globe and Emmy nominations.

Phyllis George, the 1971 winner, became a network sportscaster and later morning news anchor for CBS. Vanessa Williams, Miss America 1984, resigned her title under pressure after nude photos of her were published in Penthouse but got past that to become an award-winning actress, model, and singer, as detailed in a Wikipedia entry running to more than 5,000 words.

Gretchen Carlson, the 1989 winner, has hosted Fox & Friends for years and will get her own show on Fox this fall.

Not bad considering we’re talking about a beauty contest.Miss America isn’t the only title that presents opportunities, though. Just ask Oprah Winfrey, who broke into broadcasting after being crowned Nashville’s Miss Fire Prevention of 1971.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “There are some things

you learn best in calm, and some in storm,” wrote the novelist Willa Cather. According to my reading of the astrological omens, Taurus, you’re in a phase of your cycle when storm-learning isn’t your priority. The educational experiences you need most will unfold when you’re exploring the mysteries of peace and serenity. In fact, I suspect that the deeper you relax, the more likely it is that you will attract life-changing teachings—lessons that can transform your life for the better and fuel you for a long time.

to be free,” sings Leonard Cohen in his song “Bird on a Wire.” In other words, he has done the best he can to liberate himself from his unconscious patterns, bad habits, and self-delusions. He hasn’t been perfect in his efforts, but the work he has done has earned him a measure of deliverance from his suffering. I recommend you follow his lead, Aries. Do your best to bring more relief and release into your life. Get rid of things that hold you back. Overthrow a pinched expectation and ignore a so-called limitation or two. By this time next week, I hope you will be able to say sincerely, “I have tried in my way to be free.”

wanted to deliver for a long time but haven’t been able to? Are you bursting with thoughts or feelings that you’ve been longing to express but can’t find the right way to do so? Have you spent months carrying around a poignant truth that you have felt wasn’t ripe enough to be revealed? If your answer to any of those questions is yes, I believe the time will soon be at hand to make a move. But it’s important that you’re not impulsive or melodramatic as you initiate your breakthrough communications. For best results, be full of grace and balance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Bees and other insects

can see ultraviolet light, which is invisible to humans.

When they look at flowers, they detect designs on the petals that you and I cannot. For example, the evening primrose appears completely yellow to us, but it calls seductively to bees with a flashy star pattern at its center. Many of the secret signs that flowers offer the pollinators are meant to guide them to where the pollen and nectar are. Let’s use this as our metaphor of the week, Cancerian. I am not predicting that you will be able to perceive a broader spectrum of light. But I do believe you will discern cues and clues that are hidden from most people and that have been imperceptible to you in the past.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I was six years old when my parents told me that there was a small, dark jewel inside my skull, learning to be me.” So said the Leo science fiction writer Greg Egan in his story “Learning to Be Me.” Let’s pretend that you, too, have a small dark jewel inside your skull that’s learning to be you. It’s a good metaphor for what I believe has been happening all these years: You have been gradually mastering the art of being the best Leo you can be. It hasn’t been easy. You weren’t born knowing how to be your beautiful, radiant, courageous self, but have had to work hard to activate your potentials. Now you’re moving into an especially critical phase of the process: a time when you have the chance to learn how to love yourself with greater ingenuity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Dear Astrology Guy:

Please tell me why I have to work so hard—meditate, reflect, read, analyze, poke, prod, investigate—to discover truths about myself that must be obvious to others. Why is it so hard for me to see where I need healing and where I need to let go? Why is it such an ordeal to grasp what is interfering with my wholeness when I can quickly pinpoint what other people’s issues are? —Overworked Virgo.” Dear Overworked: I’m happy to report that you Virgos will soon be offered a gush of revelations about who you are, how you can heal, and what strategies will best serve your quest to minimize your anxiety. Are you prepared to absorb some intense teachings? For best results, make yourself extra receptive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): One of the world’s best race car teams is McLaren. It wins about 25 percent of the events in which it competes. Its skilled drivers account for much of its success, but its technicians are also pretty sensational. During a pitstop in the middle

of a race, they can change all four tires on the car in less than three seconds. Do you have helpers like that, Libra? If you don’t, it’s time to intensify your efforts to get them. And if you do, it’s time to call on them to give you an extra boost.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Let’s try an experiment.

It’s risky, but I’m hoping you will do it with such flair that there will be no karmic blowback. What I propose, Scorpio, is that you have fun expressing more confidence than usual. I invite you to strut a bit, even swagger, as you demonstrate your command over your circumstances. Enjoy acting as if the world is your plaything . . . as if everyone around you secretly needs you to rise up and be a bigger, bolder version of yourself. The trick, of course, will be to avoid getting puffed up with grandiose delusions. Your challenge is to be more wildly devoted to embodying your soul’s code without lapsing into arrogance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I suspect that you are longing to take a quantum leap of faith, but are also afraid to take that quantum leap of faith.

You sense the potential of experiencing a very cool expansion, while at the same time you hesitate to leave your comfort zone and give up your familiar pain. In light of the conflict, which may not be entirely conscious, I suggest you hold off on making a gigantic quantum leap of faith. Instead, experiment with a few bunny hops of faith. Build up your courage with some playful skips and skitters and bounces that incrementally extend your possibilities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Hoaxes exposed!

Bluffs called! Secrets revealed! Whitewashes uncovered! Curses banished! Taboos broken! Those are the headlines I expect to see emblazoned in your Book of Life during the coming weeks. Can you handle that many holy disruptions? Will you be able to deal with the stress that might come from having so much raucous success? These are important questions, because if you’re not up to the challenge, you may scare away the transformations. So steel your resolve, Capricorn. Mobilize your will. Do what’s necessary to harvest the unruly blessings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The French novelist Flaubert declared that if you hope to write a book, you should first read 1,500 books. A Roman author named Petronius believed that the imagination does not work at its peak power unless it is inundated with reading material. I suggest you adopt their advice and apply it to your own field, Aquarius. Whatever skill or subject you want to master, expose yourself lavishly to the efforts of other people who have already mastered it.

Flood yourself with well-crafted inspiration.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Should you be worried that a venomous spider has crawled into your shoe while you were sleeping? Just in case, should you flip your shoe upside-down before putting it on each morning? My studied opinion: hell, no. The chances of you being bitten on the foot by a venomous spider lurking in your shoe are even less than the possibility that you will be abducted by an alien who looks like Elvis Presley and forced to sing a karaoke version of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” at an extraterrestrial bar.

And if you are going around filled with delusional anxieties like that, you will definitely interfere with life’s current predilection, which is to give you a cleansing respite from your fears as well as immunity from harm.
