I saw your cute little dog hopping from one foot to another and looking for shade as you stood there chatting with friends. Next time why don't you carry the dog and YOU go barefoot. You wouldn't leave your dog in a HOT car, so why do you think he/she wants to walk barefoot on HOT asphalt?

PROPOSED LAND USE COVENANT

1875 DOBBIN DRIVE SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA

This public notice announces that the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and the property owner of 1875 Dobbin Drive, San Jose (Site), the location where Serra Silicon Valley Corporation formerly operation, intend to enter into a Land Use Covenant (LUC). The LUC was determined to be necessary based on the results of a Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA) that was performed for the Site with DTSC oversight. A PEA is performed to determine whether a release of hazardous substances has occurred on a site that may pose a significant risk to human health or the environment.

The Site is currently owned by Dobbin Properties LLC and is currently unused. The land was used for agriculture prior to development in the 1970s. It was developed in 1972 and occupied by a series of companies, but little information was found on the exact operations of these companies in the 1970s. In the 1980s through early 2000s, companies used the building on the Site for plating and manufacturing. The building was left unoccupied for a number of years until it was damaged by a fire in 2010, and then demolished shortly thereafter.

Investigations have identified chemicals in groundwater, soil, and soil gas. In groundwater, petroleum hydrocarbons were found in the southwestern portion of the Site. Chromium VI was found in the soil, in a single spot in the northern part of the Site. In soil vapor, an area contaminated by tetrachloroethylene was found in the northwestern part of the Site.

The environmental concerns of these chemicals are considered minor and can be mitigated through the proposed LUC. The LUC will prohibit sensitive land uses on the Site and require soil vapor mitigation measures for future buildings in certain areas of the Site.

This determination will be considered final 30 days after July 20, 2016. DTSC and the property owner will proceed with executing and recording the LUC. DTSC encourages you to review the PEA Report. To comment on the PEA Report or proposed placement of a LUC on the Site can be submitted to: Mark Piros, Project Manager, DTSC Berkeley Regional Office, 700 Heinz Avenue, Berkeley, California 94710, 510-540-3844 or Mark.Piros@dtsc.ca.gov.

INFORMATION RESPOSITORY:

A copy of the PEA Report is available at: DTSC Berkeley Regional Office, 700 Heinz Avenue, Berkeley, California 94710, call (510) 540-3800 (call for appointment)

Scuttlebutt among San Jose’s downtown dwellers has centered on whether the city core’s largest grocer, Safeway, will fold after losing its validated parking hook-up under “The 88” high-rise. Concerned patrons have bombarded District 3 Councilman RAUL PERALEZ’s office with queries over the store’s fate, but City Hall has no control over the price of parking ever since MVP Realty outbid the city with a $3.6 million offer for the adjacent 330-space garage, which San Jose’s Redevelopment Agency (RDA) funded for $12.5 million just before the real estate bubble burst in 2009. RICHARD KEIT, head of the successor agency tasked with selling off RDA assets to pay back the state, says the city had three chances to avoid losing the garage—granted, the last two were long shots. But had San Jose kept the lot, it would have preserved a two-freehours validation deal that accounts for 75 percent of parkers and reportedly keeps the They attached Safeway afloat.

Did The city could have What? claimed the garage for a SEND TIPS TO steal last year when an FLY@ appraisal put the site’s METRONEWS. value at $850,000. But COM the successor agency’s oversight board, in a charge led by retired Santa Clara County finance exec JOHN GUTHRIE, called the estimation dubiously low and demanded a second opinion. That next appraiser pegged the value at a staggering $13 million— impossibly over the city’s budget and a sum Keit calls “ridiculous” and “absurd.”

The last-resort option, per Mayor SAM LICCARDO’s spokesman DAVID LOW, was to put the garage up for an open bid.

San Jose’s $1.5 million pitch stood zero chance against MVP’s. While the successor agency rid itself of a $7,000-a-month moneysuck, the sale could spell the end of downtown’s flagship grocer. And this is after the city helped Safeway build the garage, which led to the demise of the Zanotto’s grocery store—also funded with RDA money—in 2011.

The Auctionista BID BATTLE Alex Lubinsky’s controversial new website invites prospective tenants to outbid each other for a place to live.

Property auction startup Rentberry has tenant advocates crying foul

BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

W

HEN ALEX LUBINSKY unveiled his latest venture, an auction website for rental properties, critics came out swinging with brickbats.

Understandably so, given the backdrop of Silicon Valley’s runaway housing costs.

Rentberry invites landlords to list a unit and then sit back as tenants outbid each other for a place to live.

“As if life for renters in big cities weren’t hellish enough, a new Bay Area startup promises to make it even

more of a nightmare,” Grist, an online environmental news magazine, declared upon Rentberry’s springtime launch.

Observers compared Lubinsky to notorious “pharma bro” Martin Shkreli, the investor who unflinchingly spiked the price of a life-saving AIDS drug by 5,000 percent. Rentberry seems designed for exploitation, The Atlantic’s Kriston Capps remarked, comparing it to a dating site skewed in favor of straight men at the expense of eligible women. “Expect a lot of missed connections,” he forewarned.

“I think that it’s very problematic,” Leah Simon-Weisberg, legal director for nonprofit renter rights group Tenants Together, tells Metro. “It’s profiting off of a housing crisis, and I think that it just shows how you have

to regulate this market because it does lend to so many opportunities to take advantage of tenants. How awful to promote something that aims to get the highest price on something that people need. Can you imagine if someone auctioned milk or medicine?

People would be outraged.”

Acclaimed author and long time San Francisco resident Steve Silberman waxed blunt and breviloquent on Facebook: “Dear Rentberry: Fuck You.” Lubinsky—a 33-year-old ex-banker born in Soviet-era Ukraine and raised from his teen years in the South Bay—welcomes the controversy for its tagalong publicity. In an email to Metro, he included links to some of the critical press, including a Vanity Fair piece predicting that Rentberry will turn apartment hunting into a Hunger Games-like death match.

“There’s a syndrome in Silicon Valley where people hate engineers,” he tells Metro in a recent interview.

“But if there were no engineers,

there would be no Silicon Valley. The problem is not us, it’s not startups or the tech industry or the landlords.

The problem is actually government.”

The “Google bus haters,” per Lubinsky, misunderstand the benefit Rentberry provides: transparency.

Giving renters and landlords a platform to openly negotiate price so everyone can see the other bids, he argues, will level the playing field. Users can also haggle over security deposit and eschew application fees, which add up in a typical apartment search.

“The market will decide,” says Lubinsky, an avowed free-market fundamentalist who graduated from UC-Berkeley with degrees in economics, business and Slavic literature.

“Equilibrium will happen. All this does is balance supply and demand. People already bid offline, but nobody sees it.”

Since coming online, though, Lubinsky admits the site has driven up rents in competitive markets like San Jose and San Francisco an average of 5 percent above listing price. And while he may have a point about transparency and the fact that his startup alone can’t be blamed for a systemic affordability crisis, some of the language used to promote Rentberry comes off as more than a little tone deaf.

“Renting has become the new economic and lifestyle choice of almost 40 percent of households in the United States,” reads a press release announcing the company’s foray into the tech space.

“Currently, landlords and tenants lack trust in each other. Rentberry seeks to change that, potentially even stopping unreasonable bidding wars. Armed with knowledge, tenants will be able to make educated decisions.”

Tenant rights groups dismiss Rentberry’s pitch as spin. To characterize the unprecedented influx of Americans into the renter economy as a “lifestyle choice” ignores the economic collapse that forced so many out of home ownership in the first place, SimonWeisberg says. And to characterize open bidding as empowering consumers ignores the fact that the market overwhelmingly favors the landed.

“Silicon Valley has innovations to be proud of, but this is basically an innovation for unscrupulous landlords,” says Daniel DeBolt, a spokesman for the Mountain View Tenants Coalition.

“Fortunately, not all landlords are engaging in price gouging, but the ones

who are, are wreaking havoc. They don’t need any help.”

In the decade since the housing bubble peaked and popped in a ruinous crash, longtime homeowners have recovered thanks to growing equity and mortgage payments shrunk by super-low rates. But the nation’s burgeoning class of renters has lurched into a grind of stagnant pay and surging costs that force one in four to spend more than half their income just to keep a roof over their heads.

The share of rental households grew from 31 percent in 2005 to 37 percent—a 50-year high—in 2015, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Meanwhile, homeownership fell to a 48-year low. Locally, foreclosures and new college graduates have crowded the job market and heightened demand for rentals. Santa Clara County’s geography, growth, affluence and striking income inequality only amplify the problem.

“Just because you can make money off the housing crisis, it doesn’t mean you should,” DeBolt says.

Lubinsky points out that Rentberry could theoretically have the opposite effect in a down market. If a landlord has trouble finding a tenant, prospective renters could bid below listing price. “America is not just San Francisco,” he says. “In some places, the market may force landlords to accept a lower price because that’s as much as people are willing to pay.”

DeBolt counters that this is a fair point, except the website rolled out in some of the most expensive cities in the country. The threat of a bidding frenzy underscores the effect of the CostaHawkins Act, a California law passed in the mid-1990s that prevents local governments from curbing unlimited rent hikes on newly vacant units.

“Unfortunately, state law prevents our rent control laws from halting the bidding wars that Rentberry wants to encourage,” says DeBolt, who’s lobbying for a ballot measure that would bring rent control to Mountain View. “The reason why Rentberry’s business model isn’t illegal anywhere in California is because of the Costa-Hawkins Act.” By capitalizing on the status quo, DeBolt says, the startup has shined a light on the lack of protections for tenants in a punishing market.

“It shows why we need to put safeguards in place,” he says, “and why we need to push for a serious campaign against Costa-Hawkins.”

An inside look at San Jose politics

BLOW BY BLOW Protestors violently clashed with supporters of Donald Trump

at last month’s “Make America Great Again” rally in San Jose.

Donald Trump Supporters Sue City of San Jose

BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH Fourteen Donald Trump supporters filed a federal lawsuit accusing San Jose police of failing to protect them from violent protesters after a campaign event last month.

The civil rights case seeks unspecified damages and class-action status for all Trump backers attacked following the June 2 rally for the Republican presidential candidate in San Jose.

Plaintiffs claim the city’s response to protesters outside of the San Jose Convention Center was weak and politicized, and that police complacency undermined their constitutional rights to free speech, peaceful assembly and due process. Police arrested 20 people after the protest and fielded two dozen reports of assault.

City spokesman Dave Vossbrink said the city has yet to see the lawsuit filed by attorney Harmeet Dhillon, the vice-

chair of the California Republican Party.

One of the plaintiffs, 38-year-old Log Cabin Republican Juan Hernandez, says he emerged from the chaos with a broken nose and blood-spattered shirt.

“Walking out of the rally, you could see that it was like Armageddon,” the Santa Clara resident told San Jose Inside days after the event.

On his way from the convention center to a nearby parking garage, Hernandez said, he watched other Trump supporters get physically attacked. Hernandez wore a blue “Make America Great Again” Trump hat and his friend—Dustin Haines-Scrodin, another plaintiff—wore a red one. “We didn’t have time to take it off,” he said.

“And as soon as we made eye contact with them, I was like, ‘Oh shit. This is it.’”

People began hitting Hernandez and his friend, he said—about five assailants wailed on him until his adrenaline kicked in and numbed

him from the blows. When his nose cracked on someone’s fist, blood began spurting onto his clothes.

For an hour after the rally let out, the lawsuit claims, police did little to quell the violence and continued to direct Trump supporters toward the protesters. As videos and pictures of the fights spread across social media, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, a Democrat, blasted Trump for stirring up unrest and outright violence that local law enforcement has to break up. “At some point, Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign,” the mayor told the Associated Press.

Dhillon says in the lawsuit that Liccardo’s remarks indicate that the city’s reaction to the violence was influenced by the political viewpoints of San Jose’s policymakers. San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia called allegations that he told his officers to stand down “absurd.”

County Domestic Violence Deaths on the Rise Santa Clara County saw a sharp uptick in the number of domestic violencerelated deaths from 2014 to the next year, according to data released last week. But the 13 killings in 2015 were more in line with the region’s 21-year average of a dozen deaths a year.

The annual report also notes a two-year trend of violence—including murder-suicides—among senior citizens grappling with health problems.

In one case last year, an elderly man terminally ill with cancer shot his wife in the head the week before Christmas before turning the gun on himself. The man left several typewritten letters to police explaining that he took their lives because he worried that nobody would be able to care for his Alzheimer’s-stricken wife after his own death. He thought it best, he wrote, that they “go together.”

Assistant District Attorney Cindy Seeley Hendrickson, who authored the review, said she expects many similar tragedies unfold. As the elderly population grows, she said, the healthcare system will have to deal with more terminal illness, dementia and later-in-life mental health issues.

“We’ have to figure out how we can intervene in those situations,” she says.

Of the 13 deaths last year, eight people were victims and five were perpetrators who died by suicide or suicide-by-cop, according to the report. One of those deaths was San Jose police Officer Michael Johnson, who was killed while responding to a domestic violence call.

The year prior, in 2014, the county saw only two domestic violence-related deaths—an anomalous low.

The report underscores the continued problem of underreporting prior abuse. In 80 percent of the relationships cited in the review, friends and family witnessed abuse.

But past violence was reported only half the time and none of the victims had a restraining order against their killers.—Jennifer Wadsworth

STRIKE THREE Local breweries Strike, Hermitage and Santa Clara Valley Brewing will serve up special deals at their July 22 kickoff parties.

Let’s Kick It

SILICON VALLEY BEER WEEK’S EIGHT-DAY PARTY LAUNCHES JULY 22 AT HERMITAGE, STRIKE AND SANTA CLARA VALLEY BREWING BY AVI SALEM

S

ilicon Valley Beer Week—the annual celebration of all things barley, hops and malt—kicks off July 22 with a citywide party taking place at three of San Jose’s premier microbreweries. Whether you’re a newb diving into the world of ABVs and IBUs or a craft beer aficionado, the kickoff party is a surefire way to sample some of the Valley’s newest and most innovative beers. Here’s a recap of what three local breweries are cooking up over the course of eight days.

Strike Brewing Co. Follow the forklifts and wafting smell of yeast to Strike Brewing’s San Jose warehouse for an afternoon of good food, cold beers and live music from DBA, founder and brewmaster Drew Ehrlich’s classic rock tribute band. Strike’s Rick Esparza noted

that the kickoff party is a time to connect with the community and remind people that Strike is open for after-work happy hours and casual weekend hangouts. “We’re all about brewing and building a sense of community in this area, and we just want to make sure that people

KEGGER PARTY Barrel distilling is one of many craft techniques Santa Clara Valley Brewing employs. know there’s a place for good quality, craft beer coming out of San Jose,” Esparza said.

Enjoy happy hour pricing all night with $1 off pints, including two of Strike’s newest seasonals: Lucky Bullet Belgian Wheat, an unfiltered take on the classic with hints of chamomile and coriander; and the Santa Cruz Screaming Hand Imperial Amber, a smooth and balanced malt-based ale. The Game Day Truck will also be taking residence in the back lot, grilling up ballpark classics like sliders, hot wings and tacos with a modern, sophisticated twist.

Santa Clara Valley Brewing Santa Clara Valley Brewing’s presence in this year’s Beer Week was a “nobrainer,” according to Peter Estaniel.

The brewery sales manager pointed out that celebrating local beers is just another way to commemorate all that San Jose has to offer in terms of small-batch, handcrafted brews.

“For a city of one million,” Estaniel said, “San Jose is underrepresented in terms of microbreweries, so Silicon Valley Beer Week should really just be a celebration about being here.”

Kick off Beer Week in their new taproom space—fully decked with a bar and plenty of tables and couches, perfect for playing board games—or relax in

front of the massive flat screen TV. For just $7, partiers can enjoy four-beer flights of any of the brewery’s dozen beers on tap. Also look out for their seasonal summer specials, which will be released for the kickoff party. Beers include a German-style hefeweizen and the Blood Orange IPA, a variation on their classic Electric Tower IPA.

Hermitage Brewing Co. Take a seat by the colorful murals adorning Hermitage’s taproom walls and the towering stack of wooden barrels, and enjoy a pint from one of their small-batch brews which range from year-round varieties to summer seasonals.

Open from 4-9 pm for the kickoff, Hermitage will feature two summertime varieties: Sour Cherry Sour, a strikingly tart and refreshing American sour; and the Strawberry Rhubarb Sour, the closest thing to liquefied alcoholic pie. Food truck El Burrito Loco will serve up tacos, tortas, tostadas and other Mexican favorites under the shade of the beer silo. Here, guests can sip the aromatic and citrusy Pamplemousse Belgian Grapefruit Pale ($5.25) or opt for “hop insanity” with Hermitage’s No Spin Triple IPA ($8), a mighty but mellow ale with a kick at 9.5 percent alcohol by volume.

Dr. Yeast, At Your Service

SAN JOSE’S TOP FERMENTATION EXPERT, GIGAYEAST CEO JIM WITHEE, EXPLAINS HOW AMERICA TOOK BACK ITS BEER BY JOHN FLYNN

F

IVE YEARS AGO, Dr. Jim Withee made a calculated decision and quit his high-paying job as a government scientist to help people drink good beer. Withee had studied yeast in graduate school and applied his findings to the human immune system, studying ways for the body to accept organ transplants and fight diseases like cancer and sickle cell. Over a beer with a brewer buddy at a bar in Shanghai, Withee decided to repurpose his schooling and found GigaYeast, Inc.

The company, which relocated earlier this month from Belmont to a spacious lab in San Jose, now handles fermentation and yeast for more than 300 commercial breweries, including the awardwinning Sante Adairius, which is one of many craft beer icons demanding GigaYeast’s exceptional microbes.

“It's the oldest biotechnology,” Withee says. “Sometime around 10,000 years ago, humans all over our planet started harvesting microbes and reusing them over and over. We still can't make wine or beer or spirits or any of the other thousands of fermented foods or beverages without live microbes doing all of the work.”

Yeast is a fungus that grows almost everywhere and preserves everything from Korean kimchi to Italian sausage to Belgian beer. The earliest brewers didn’t understand the metabolism that occurs as yeast munches on sugar and excretes ethanol and other flavorladen compounds. But they knew they liked beer, and they wanted more.

“Fathers would pass [yeast] down to sons in little urns saying, ‘Put it in this one, it comes out really good.

Everything else tastes like shit,’” Withee says with a laugh. “And what they were doing was selecting over and over for very particular traits you don’t find in wild yeast. So what we’re left with now are these strains that have been highly selected for hundreds, sometimes thousands of years.”

Occasionally, a batch would spoil.

The unscientific brewers blamed this on beer witches. To ward them off, they burned incense and placed protective totems nearby their fermenting vats.

Thirty-nine hundred years ago, an early Mesopotamian jotted down a hymn honoring Ninkasi, the goddess of beer, in hopes for a tasty brew—one of the first examples of writing.

At the turn of the 20th century, fermentation similarly fascinated scientists. Their studies confirmed yeast’s necessity for fermentation, but they also learned that batches spoiled when they were contaminated with bacteria—a finding that Louis Pasteur would extrapolate into his germ theory of disease.

“It's really easy to grow microbes of any type,” Withee says. “You’re probably doing it in your refrigerator right now if you haven’t cleaned it

out in a while. But what we do is hard because we need to produce large quantities of a very pure culture that’s uncontaminated with anything else.

The ideal growth conditions are the same for lots and lots of microbes that can contaminate.”

‘It’s kind of a challenge, but we’ve gotten very good at it’ Like human beings, yeast needs proteins, sugars and nutrients, and prefers temperatures between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The yeast spawn new generations every couple of hours and have a species diversity that rivals canines. Gigayeast stores their batches in cryogenic freezers— the same type keeping Walt Disney on ice—then thaws them to grows a 4,000-liter culture from a single cell. Employees check the batches about 25 times from start to finish to ensure there’s no contamination.

“Over the course of a week of growth, you have [hundreds of] generations,” Withee says. “That population can evolve on you and that can be bad. You might get stuff you don’t want. But they’re tested constantly. They’re grown in a sterile environment. It’s kind of a challenge, but we’ve gotten very good at it.”

The timing coincides with a craft beer industry now in its eighth consecutive year of double-digit growth. Withee sees the movement as part of a desire to reconnect with our local artisans.

“Look at it like this: 200 years ago, there were about 4,000 breweries in the U.S.,” he says. “Every city had to have a brewer, you couldn’t transfer it long distances. By the ’70s, we were down to like less than 20 (breweries) because of corporatization. And now, we’re back up to 4,000. A big segment of our population is finally saying, ‘Fuck this, I don’t want to buy things from a big faceless corporation. I want to get it from John down the street.’”

AARON FRISBY & LANCE CYRIL MOUNTAIN Fri, 7pm, Free Seeing Things Gallery, San Jose As the son of the influential pro skater Lance Mountain, Lance Cyril Mountain was exposed to skateboarding—along with the art and music of skate culture—at a very young age. When he was just four years old, one of his drawings became a popular graphic used by Powell Skateboards. The younger Mountain returns to Seeing Things Gallery, which hosted his first solo art show back in 2014. The group show will also feature Aaron Frisby, an Oklahoma-based mixedmedia artist, who assembles vibrant collages out of colorized black-and-white photos. (ST)

STAR TREK IN BARCO ESCAPE Fri, 5:35pm, $9.50 Camera 12, San Jose Home-streaming has trampled the box office monopoly on cinema, as audiences have been seduced by the glut of options accessible in the ever-replenishing rabbit holes of Netflix, Hulu and Amazon.

To win them back, Camera 12 will be rolling out a new cinematic technology at their premiere of Star Trek Beyond. The new three-screen “Barco Escape” format—which has been described as a “3D experience without the glasses” and hailed as a massive upgrade for silver screens—aims to elevate the lens-flare-laden adventures of the Starship Enterprise and her intrepid crew.

JILL SCOTT

TJR

Fri, 5:30pm, $50 Mountain Winery, Saratoga

Fri, 10pm, Free Pure Lounge, Sunnyvale

Blending poignant poetry with retro-jazz vocals and hip-hop sensibilities, Jill Scott is one of the best known names in neosoul. The powerhouse vocalist wields a voice that smolders in the lower registers, dripping alternately with melancholy, longing and independence. She can also climb the vocal register and strike at notes in the rarest of octaves. Originally discovered by Questlove, she’s as comfortable warbling the hook on rapper Lupe Fiasco’s Grammy-winning single “Daydreamin’” as she is laying down spoken-word gospel on her anthem of persistence, “When I Wake Up.” She recently starred in the James Brown biopic “Get On Up” as the Godfather of Soul’s second wife. (JF)

Thomas Joseph Rozdilsky passed on a professional golf career for a job with less pomp and more noise. Creator of the uber-popular mix “Bounce Generation,” TJR specializes in all realms of DJ-ing, from producing to mixing to live scratching—a rarity in the era of preprogrammed playlists. He builds his drops to precipitous heights, then unleashes gobsmacking bass, slathered with horns that sound like they’ve been put through a taffy stretcher. A savant of club anthems, he collaborated with Pitbull on “Don’t Stop the Party,” providing a brainburrowing kick and snare for Mr. Worldwide, who asks the gathered crowd if they’re “having a good time out there.” He is answered, deliriously, in the affirmative.

OLD SCHOOL LEGENDS LIVE Fri, 6:30pm, $35.50- $67.50 SAP Center, San Jose Back in 1979, a group of fastrhyming upstarts from New Jersey scored a Top 40 hit with a little number called “Rapper’s Delight.”

The song, which combined funk, soul and disco rhythms with spoken— rather than sung—words is one of the first hip-hop tracks to ever gain national attention. Three years later, in 1982, Grandmaster Flash sowed the seeds for gangster rap, painting a bleak picture of urban poverty with “The Message.” A few years on, Salt-n-Peppa put their own, sexy spin on the emergent genre, winning a Grammy for “Push It.” These three rap legends, along with Lisa Lisa and Stevie B all perform this Friday.

Sat, 9pm, $6 BackBar SoFA, San Jose

Los Gatos indie rockers The Shrews blend overdriven guitars, precise and propulsive rhythms, and catchy vocal melodies with an unmistakable swagger. Drawing upon their influences—from the crisp pop of The Beatles to the gritty, proto-punk of The Velvet Underground—The Shrews build songs that sound distinctly modern, while simultaneously paying homage to the bands that pioneered rock & roll. Presented

by Scene!, The Jean Jackets, Mercy High, Joan & The Rivers and The Roughies will also perform. (NV)

If quaffing uncut cold brew and slamming energy supplements isn’t doing the trick, try a windmill punch to the face. San Jose hardcore outfit Morning Coffee will gladly provide the soundtrack.

Combining breakneck drumming with bowl-rattling breaks and caustic, concussive vocals, they don’t so much pen songs, as assemble improvised explosive audio devices. None of the five high-velocity tracks on Things I Think About When I’m Alone exceeds the 2:30 mark, and “Scars On My Face” clocks in at just 27 seconds. Who cares? You’ve got other things to worry about, like watching your back while you flail in the pit. (NV)

Hailing from Jamaica, ska deals in groovy rhythms, bright horn pops and melodious, fedorawearing frontmen, who roll around on longboards. Hardcore exists in stuffy garages and dingy clubs, where riffs rip at the sonic spectrum, drums accelerate into the red, and vocalists push the limits of their larynxes. The River Ratts merge these two seemingly disparate genres, taking their mashups far beyond even the heaviest Sublime b-side. On “fuck you and what your going through,” the SoCal band flip between breezy, upstroked interludes, punctuated by melodious steel drums, and grinding, hard-charging hardcore seshes—culminating in a singular, split-personality sound.

Source of Life TREADING WATER Richard Misrach’s ‘Diving Board, Salton Sea,’ is one of many images in a new Cantor Arts Center exhibit, which is meant to remind the viewer that water is finite.

California’s most precious resource highlighted in ‘The Art of Water’

BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

I

N THE JULY heat, much of the Stanford University campus is bleached beige or brown. On every horizon, parched hillsides present a similar picture, completely devoid of any lingering spring greens.

Across the street from the Cantor Arts Center’s entrance, Andy Goldsworthy’s Stone River snakes its mudcolored spine up from dusty crumbs of earth. Absent human intervention, this is a dry, waterless place.

Inside the Cantor Arts Center, a new exhibit acts as a temporary, airconditioned corrective. The gallery walls in “California: The Art of Water” borrow a paint scheme from one of David Hockney’s stimulating pool blues. The three open rooms of the show are loosely divided into themes: “Water and the wilderness”; “The role of water in development”; and “What have we wrought?”

The curators have assembled the work of artists who depict water in all its various shapes and forms—lakes, rivers, waterfalls, bays, oceans, aqueducts, irrigation canals and swimming pools.

The subject itself may be a shapeshifter, but collectively a single portrait emerges. The population of California, from farm to city, established itself in and around access to water. The paintings, maps and photographs tell

the story of our reliance upon it, as well as our positive and negative efforts to tame it for our exclusive use.

Nineteenth-century landscapes dominate the galleries. They ground the exhibit in time, quietly narrating the development of California and providing lush, verdant examples of what drew generations of Americans and immigrants to the West. Gregory Kondos’ Sacramento River, from 1981, hangs to the right of William Keith’s vast 1876 painting, Upper Kern River.

Both works are views of a river, but each painter’s emphasis reflects the shift in consciousness that came along with the century separating them. The bright geometries of modernism allow Kondos to exclude scale and shrubbery from his canvas. Keith, conversely, paints like an omniscient narrator, including every leaf of native foliage. The juxtaposition of the two paintings is smart; they complement and illuminate each other.

The photographs on display contend less with beauty and more with the means of consumption. Ansel Adams captures Shasta Dam from high above.

Dorothea Lange squelches her muddy feet in alfalfa and barley fields in order to pose a field worker, chest angled, chin raised, like a mythological hero.

This is what an artist does: he bends his sense of reality in order to present it to the viewer. Whether you accept it as true or real is another question. In Clouds Over Mono Lake, Joseph Holmes’ gelatin silver print omits the shoreline covered in swarms of black alkali flies, and the broken cakes of salt, dotting the sand with flecks of white like so much powdered bone. The hot stink of the lake and the buzzing of flies creates a ghostly atmosphere. As seen through the lens of a sanitized dreamscape, his Mono Lake bears no relation to the sensory experience of that particular place. I’d place this in a sub-category: “Water and the mind’s wilderness.”

Richard Misrach, on the other hand, is represented in the “What have we wrought?” section, with Diving Board, Salton Sea. His gorgeous image answers that question with a resolute and devastating response. The image looks out onto the sea and its horizon. In the foreground below, there’s a swimming pool emptied of water, the concrete siding covered with rust and mossy rot. Tilapia Jetty, a video installation by Nicole Antebi, fills in the background.

She films Salton City as an empire of decay. It stands as a warning: if we’re careless with our water, we can render any habitat inhospitable for humans— or life of any kind.

But all omens, portents and worries stand aside when you arrive at the center of the back wall to find David Hockney’s Sprungbrett mit Schatten (Paper Pool #14). No other painting here captures the lush sensuality of his swimming pool.

Six separate colored panels make up this invitation to pleasure. Take off your clothes, spring from the yellow diving board, join its quivering shadow inside the energizing blue.

It’s Misrach’s photograph in reverse, where water is still bountiful and leisure abounds. He intuitively understands that water is the source of rejuvenation and joy. Hockney, as usual, is a revelation.

NATURAL BEAUTY Paper mache animal masks by Sasha Petrenko, one of the artists showing work at this year’s “Rock the Garden” festival.

Elegant Ephemera AS CAPTIVATING as the works may be, those attending this Friday’s “pop-up arts festival” at Montalvo Art Center would do well to resist becoming too attached to any of the pieces. After all, at the end of the night, they will all be torn down—faster than they were even created.

SAN JOSE MUSEUM OF ART Closing Party

Thursday, July 21

7– 10 PM

The theme of this year’s “Rock the Garden” festival, “5 Hour Sculpture,” is pretty self-explanatory. The Montalvo Arts Center has invited artists from around the world to come to Villa Montalvo, where they will create temporary installments on the 175-acre grounds of the Rock The Garden: 5 Hour Sculpture historic Saratoga estate. They will have just five hours to complete and show their works.

Jul 22, 5pm, Free The idea, according to Montalvo’s curator, Donna Conwell, Montalvo Arts is to highlight how monumental even a short span of time Center, Saratoga can be. It is also intended to get people thinking about montalvoarts.org how the ostensibly permanent structures and monuments surrounding us are not immune to the passage of time.

“Setting ourselves a time limit of five hours allows us to turn that thinking on its head, and explore the way that contemporary sculpture—especially where it overlaps with other disciplines—can be quite the opposite: temporal, ephemeral and participatory,” Conwell says.

7 PM Performance by Guillermo Galindo

8 PM Book-signing with Richard Misrach

Conwell developed the the theme. And, after posing the question to 60 international artists—“If you only had five hours to present a work of sculpture in a public park, what would you create?”—she sat on the jury that selected the winning pitches.

Only the most creative answers were chosen, and favor was given to those ideas that included an element of public participation. Attendees will have the chance to harvest pinwheels, tell stories around a virtual campfire and navigate a labyrinth, among other activities.

8 PM Performance by Opera Cultura

9 PM Migration Stories: The Distance From Me To You

Come meet the community organizations who partnered with us for Border Cantos. $5 after 5 PM (free to members).

Tickets at sjmusart.org/closing-party 110 South Market St.

See what you think.

Many of the chosen artists hail from the Bay Area, including Natasha Carlitz of Menlo Park and Karrie Hovey of Mill Valley. Others come from elsewhere in the country. Margaret Camp is from Los Angeles and Matthias Neumann is from Brooklyn. Máximo González will make the trek from Mexico City.

Leah Ammon, associate director of marketing for Montalvo, notes that former Senator James Duval Phelan—the man who built Villa Montalvo and specified that it should become a public park upon his death—would likely have enjoyed the festival. “Senator Phelan loved a good party,” she says.—Melissa Hartman

WHO YOU GONNA CALL? Whenever ghosts—or the ghastly spectre of patriarchy—show up, the Ghostbusters are ready and willing to strap on their proton packs.

‘Ghostbusters’ reboot takes on malevolent spirits, misogyny

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

W

IELDING AN electronic ghost detector that resembles a little rotating neon vulva, a triumphant Melissa McCarthy leads this female-powered Ghostbusters reboot. The remake clearly has a chip on its shoulder over fanboi venom. It acknowledges the “raped childhood” posts all splattered over the internet.

Learning that the Ghostbusters would feature an all-women cast,

thousands of male fans whimpered about PC Hollywood. At the risk of validating the online declarations of fools, director Paul Feig includes scenes of the heroines having their ghosthunting business dragged through the comments sections of popular websites.

One troll’s unimaginative jab reads: “ain’t no bitch gonna hunt no ghosts”.

In this round, Kristin Wiig plays Erin—an academic trying to get tenure as a physics professor at Columbia University. Her hopes are dashed after a book she co-wrote years earlier about the supernatural materializes online. The book was uploaded by her miffed former writing partner, Abby (McCarthy), who is now working at a lab in an offbrand tech school in the suburbs.

Abby’s new partner is a superscientist who calls herself Holtzmann; Kate McKinnon plays this pretty, cocky blonde weirdette as the kind of brat who puts her feet on the mayor’s desk.

McKinnon pulls a lot of faces to try to steal scenes from her two top-drawer comic co-stars, without much success.

The trio is joined by a blustering subway worker named Patti (a lovable Leslie Jones), who saw a haunting at her station. The four team up to learn more about the afterlife. Meanwhile, a bitter and pale bellboy (Neil Casey) is trying to launch an apocalypse.

Chris Hemsworth plays Kevin, the ladies’ male bimbo of a secretary.

Hemsworth has provided some of the funniest moments in the Avengers series, but he’s not an outand-out comedic actor. Trying to do slapstick, he’s off-putting.

The new Ghostbusters is a patchy film, pockmarked with head-scratching moments. Even to give some more time to Bill Murray, as a James Randi type, why would you accidentally-

Fight The Power

on-purpose let a dragon ghost loose?

But this remake is a different kind of patchy than its popular, sloppy hit predecessor—it doesn’t have the jittery, cocaine-laden quality to the writing, the dead spaces, the sudden maudlin episodes. McCarthy is a demonically talented slow-burn artist. Whenever the movie stalls, she slaps it into action.

In 1984, cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs aimed for a Transylvanian look for NYC, during a dirtier era for that city. By contrast, director of photography Robert D. Yeoman (a Wes Anderson vet) makes the movie a visual carnival. The phosphorescent green goo all over the place is matched with blazing magentas and sapphire spectral glows. The colors are bright and glittery. In the night skies, the ghosts look like the future of fireworks. The finale fight is something made to see twice and freeze-frame later, just to be able to see the multiple Times Squares of the 20th century all crammed into one time-vortex.

The kid stuff—the ectoplasmic ooze, and the dull, slimy Slimer—is counterbalanced with some subtext.

These ghost-busting ladies seem to have symbols of patriarchy to fight: a killer pilgrim, and a spidery and nasty Uncle Sam on stilts. It’s a pleasure to see Wiig’s attractive forlornness used in the service of being a kind of superhero; she even gets to fly, Supergirl style.

The movie stalls at times, and the heroines never seem properly introduced to the villain. But there’s a special tang to the film. The first Ghostbusters was about small businessmen getting over-regulated by the nosy government.

This time around, both the city and the academics are trying to shut these ghost-fighters down. But the new Ghostbusters has a different kind of point to make. In her childhood, Wiig’s Erin saw dead people. She was tormented by the vision of a ghost standing in her bedroom, and then mocked when she told the story. Even in our times, it’s hard for women to be believed when they’re telling something that happened to them … if we must speak of raped childhoods.

‘Idiot’ Savants NO DUMMIES From the leads to the chorus, every cast member shines in City Lights Theater’s adaptation of “American Idiot.”

City Lights Theater’s adaptation of ‘American Idiot’ is excellent

BY TAD MALONE

S

INCE ITS RELEASE, first as an album and then a musical, Green Day’s Tony- and Grammywinning American Idiot—a tale of political and adolescent alienation—has become a part of the contemporary canon.

City Lights Theater’s new adaptation adeptly packs the sprawling, Broadway-sized rock opera into an intimate blackbox theater, without losing any of its explosive energy.

The set is spare and matter-of-fact.

Besides two dirty chairs, the stage is clear. A large false wall covers the entire backstage. On that wall are 13 screens,

which stand as a metaphor for the impatience of the play’s three lead characters, Johnny, Tunny and Will— who flick through channel after channel, wallowing in suburban monotony.

Quickly, they are swept up in a musical narrative that informs the rest of the plot, as it follows the very different paths each character takes in response to their situation. Johnny experiences love, loss and then extreme addiction. Tunny joins the military and is badly injured in combat. Will remains in suburbia, only to get his teenage girlfriend pregnant; she leaves him upon the baby’s birth.

All of this is approached with a certain haphazard fervor that works in the show's favor. Costumes change quickly between that of a teenage malcontent, military uniforms, patriotic dresses, and underwear. The set is just as dynamic: it delightfully

pops out into mobile staircases, projects images of suburbia onto the walls, and even spits forth a makeshift bus for one musical number.

Johnny, played by Joey Pisacane, is animated, almost spastic, but has the charisma and vocal dominance of a lead singer. His rebellious alter ego, St. Jimmy (played by Sean Okuniewicz) is an interesting counterpart, bringing jittery but soaring vocals and a devilish pomp to match. Tunny, played by Andrew Erwin, who is later confined to a wheelchair, has a clear but complicated voice. Still, it serves as a tender complement to the more brash nature of the lead Johnny.

Will, played by Tarif Pappu has the most delicate and beautiful voice of the male leads, and serves as a quiet but effective counterpoint to the vocal punk attitudes. Heather, Will’s girlfriend (played by Melissa Baxter) has a smooth but raw emotive voice and is arguably the most consistent female singer in the show.

The ensemble, a creature all its own, is crucial in the delivery of every performance. Combining nuance and

an adolescent fervor, it parades about the stage, dominating the narrative, before falling into a more subtle chorus.

The eclectic production includes multipart harmonies, duo performances and mid-song vocal trade-offs.

With a full live band and multiple actors performing songs on guitar, the production is tight, wild, and most impressively, spontaneous—such that several times the show’s improvisation caught the audience off guard when it broke unexpectedly into apparent applause breaks. Drum beats go on extra-long, performers hold notes for different effects. There is even intersplicing of songs to great success.

Dialogue is less important in this story, which is packed to the brim with subversive, sneering quotations.

And while everyone is in on the joke, the seriousness of the show's themes—suicide, depression, war, and addiction—are not glossed over. They are forced in the audience’s face, not in a pedantic way, but in a manner that demonstrates an understanding of the angry, flailing emotions that often drive adolescent behavior.

Head-strapped microphones seemed to be the only weakness in the performance I saw. However, though the production was sometimes interrupted by strange cut-outs and distortion, the performers worked through the technical difficulties with aplomb.

The show is an artifice, but that illusion of belief or disbelief is shared equally between the performers, the musicians and the audience, and paradoxically makes everything feel more authentic.

As much as it’s a crass, hurried affair—it was written by Green Day, after all—City Lights’ adaptation of American Idiot is equally a succinct explosion of irreverent teenage angst.

In its last show of the season, City Lights Theater Company has managed to bring startling new life to an arguably over-exposed musical. There are no surprises left with a show like American Idiot. City Lights knows this, and has modified its adaptation in a wonderfully endearing way.

IN THE RUN up to the 1980s, New York had the Ramones and New York Dolls, Detroit contributed MC5 and The Stooges, London called in with the Clash and the Sex Pistols, and Los Angeles rocked to Black Flag and X. Northern California’s contribution to the genre outpunked the bunch with a name more profane than the rest and pointed political wit that secured the Dead Kennedys’ position as one of the most influential bands of the hardcore punk explosion.

“We play mostly our own stuff,” he adds. “A few DK favorites, but this band is here for new music—not to be just some kind of retro act.”

”We’ll be trying out some new songs, and it’s the first Bay Area gig with our new drummer, Jason Willer,“ Biafra says. “Then we have to pack up our bags, get on the plane and go on over to Europe.

Kennedys, brings his new band to The Ritz.

The creative force behind the DKs was lyricist and lead singer Jello Biafra, who made his way from UC Santa Cruz to San Francisco, where he later ran for mayor and placed fourth in a field of 10. Though no longer with the Kennedys, Biafra continues to produce politically charged rock with the Guantanamo School of Medicine, which plays The Ritz on July 23. Santa Cruz doom rockers Dusted Angel will open.

Biafra has plenty to say about contemporary political reality, whether discussing his disappointment with “Barack Star O'Bummer” or Hillary Clinton’s hypocrisy and flip-flopping on the Keystone pipeline. “I am tempted to write in Edward Snowden for president or vote for the Green Party’s Jill Stein,” he says.

Despite a band name that Kennedyites found offensive, he says he gets choked up thinking about them. “It haunts me to this day how different our world would probably be if Robert Kennedy had lived, let alone his brother. If Robert Kennedy was not murdered, Nixon would never be president. How different would we be today?”

Biafra says he finds it flattering that everyone seems to have their own favorite Dead Kennedys album. “My personal favorite is Plastic Surgery Disasters,” he says. “It’s more intricate, It’s darker, more like us and less like a lot of other bands.” He looks forward most of all to performing new material at the Ritz. “I’m very proud of what I’ve done to this point … but living in the past is poison.”—Dan Pulcrano

There are many people who cross ethical lines at work, but most of them just do it by taking home Post-its or a stapler.

Okay, sure, have a FWB thing, but with a married co-worker? What happened—too overworked to swipe right on Tinder? And as for why your coworker started outsourcing her sex life, there’s an assumption that people cheat because they’re in crappy marriages or relationships. And maybe her marriage is unhappy. But infidelity researcher Shirley Glass found that even people in happy, loving marriages can end up cheating. They do this for a variety of reasons: more sex, better sex, different sex (men especially go for variety), or sometimes just because “she isn’t badlooking and there’s an empty office with a big couch two doors down.”

As for whether this woman would cheat on you, that depends on whether she’s the sort of person who cheats.

And no, that isn’t as idiotic as it sounds.

Evolutionary psychologists David Buss and Todd Shackelford found that there are personality traits common to people susceptible to cheating.

One of the strongest predictors is “narcissism”—a personality trait marked by self-importance, self-

absorption, a profound sense of entitlement, and a lack of empathy.

Another big predictor is “low conscientiousness,” reflected in unreliability, disorganization, laziness, and a lack of self-control.

And finally, there’s the unfortunately Norman Batesy-sounding “high psychoticism”—researcher-ese for a mix of aggressiveness, impulsivity, and an inability to delay gratification.

Sound like anybody you’ve met in the janitor’s closet recently?

Even if this woman checks out personality-wise, you’ll have a much clearer picture of what’s possible after she gets divorced. That is, if she gets divorced. Regardless, you should take the time—a year or more—to parse who she really is and whether she and her husband are simply two (irreconcilably) different people or whether he just watches a wee bit too much ESPN when he comes home. If you’re lucky, you’ll find these things out from her, and not in some awkward moment at the end of the workday when you finally get a chance to, uh, chat with her husband—through the windshield as you’re clinging to the hood of his moving car.

I’m a woman, married for a year to a great guy. The problem is that he’s too gentle when he touches or kisses me, and I’m starting to get really frustrated in bed. I know I should have let him know what I really like a long time ago.

How can I do this now without hurting his feelings?—Embarrassed It’s hot to have a husband who’s kind of an animal in bed—except if that animal is Hello Kitty.

Words, who needs ’em? Maybe you figured he’d get the hint from your body language—maybe because you’re pretty sure you would have if the tables were turned. Well, research by social psychologist Judith A. Hall finds that women are far better at spotting and decoding nonverbal messages (in facial expressions and body language). This makes evolutionary sense, considering a mother’s need to suss out what’s wrong with her 6-month-old (who is

unable both to speak and to get on the internet at 3am to self-diagnose his diaper rash as a brain tumor).

Still, you don’t have to give him a poor performance evaluation (ouch!) or go into sex ed lecturer-like detail.

Instead, take the Gene Hackman approach. Hackman reportedly informs movie directors that the only directions he’ll take are “louder, softer, faster, slower.” (You might want to supplement those with “harder” and “rougher.”)

To encourage greater openness, ask him what his sexual fantasies are, which should lead to the question, “Well, what are yours?”

I’m a single guy who started a “friends with benefits” thing two months ago with an unhappily married female co-worker. We’ve since developed feelings for each other and started talking about a future. I’m worried because people always say, “If she cheated with you, she’ll cheat on you.” And because she’s unhappy with her husband, does that mean she’ll eventually be unhappy with me and see it as reason to cheat?—Hesitant

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): You now have more luxuriant access to divine luck than you’ve had in a long time. For the foreseeable future, you could be able to induce semi-miraculous twists of fate that might normally be beyond your capacities. But here’s a caveat: The good fortune swirling in your vicinity may be odd or irregular or hard-to-understand. To harvest it, you will have to expand your ideas about what constitutes good fortune. It may bestow powers you didn’t even realize it was possible to have. For example, what if you temporarily have an acute talent for gravitating toward situations where smart love is in full play?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A directory published

by the U.S. Department of Labor says that my gig as an astrologer shares a category with jugglers, rodeo clowns, acrobats, carnival barkers, and stuntpersons.

Am I, therefore, just a charming buffoon? An amusing goofball who provides diversion from life’s serious matters? I’m fine with that. I may prefer to regard myself as a sly oracle inflamed with holy madness, but the service I provide is probably more effective if my ego doesn’t get the specific glory it yearns for. In this way, I have certain resemblances to the Taurus tribe during the next four weeks. Is it OK if you achieve success without receiving all of the credit you think you deserve?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Over the course of a 57-

year career, Japanese movie director Akira Kurosawa won 78 major awards for his work, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oscars.

Among the filmmakers who’ve named him as an inspirational influence are heavyweights like Ingmar Bergman, Werner Herzog, Bernardo Bertolucci, Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese.

But Kurosawa wasn’t too haughty to create lighter fare. At age 86, he departed from his epic dramas to create a 30-second commercial for a yogurt drink.

Did that compromise his artistic integrity? I say no.

Even a genius can’t be expected to create non-stop masterpieces. Be inspired by Kurosawa, Gemini. In the coming weeks, give your best to even the most modest projects.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Capricorns may be

the hardest workers of the zodiac, and Tauruses the most dogged. But in the coming weeks, I suspect you Cancerians will be the smartest workers. You will efficiently surmise the precise nature of the tasks at hand, and do what’s necessary to accomplish them.

There’ll be no false starts or reliance on iffy data or slapdash trial-and-error experiments. You’ll have a light touch as you find innovative short cuts that produce better results than would be possible via a grind-it-out approach.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): My friend's 12-year-old daughter Brianna got a “B” on her summer school math test. She might have earned an “A” if it weren’t for a problem her teacher had with some of her work.

“You got the right answer by making two mistakes that happened to cancel each other out,” he wrote on her paper next to question seven. I suspect you will soon have a similar experience. Leo. But the difference between you and Brianna is that I’m giving you an “A.” All that matters in the end is that you succeed. I don’t care if your strategy is a bit funky.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Have you ever fantasized about being a different gender or race or astrological sign? Do you suspect it might be fun and liberating to completely change your wardrobe or your hairstyle or your body language? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to experiment with these variables, and with any others that would enable you to play with your identity and mutate your self-image. You have a cosmic exemption from imitating what you have done in the past. In this spirit, feel free to read all the other signs’ horoscopes, and act on the one you like best. Your word of power is “shapeshifter.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Golden Goose Award is given annually to “scientists whose work may have been considered silly, odd, or obscure when first conducted,” but which ultimately produced dramatic advances. Entomologists Raymond Bushland and Edward Knipling were this year's winners. More than 60 years ago they started tinkering with the sex life of the screwworm fly in an effort to stop the pest from killing livestock and wildlife throughout the

American South. At first their ideas were laughed at, even ridiculed. In time they were lauded for their pioneering breakthroughs. I suspect you’ll be blessed with a vindication of your own in the coming weeks, Libra. It may not be as monumental as Bushland and Knipling’s, but I bet it’ll be deeply meaningful for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I hope it doesn’t sound

too paradoxical when I urge you to intensify your commitment to relaxation. I will love it, and more importantly your guardian angel will love it, if you become a fierce devotee of slowing down and chilling out. Get looser and cozier and more spacious, damn it! Snuggle more. Cut back on overthinking and trying too hard. Vow to become a high master of the mystic art of I-don’t-give-a-f*ck. It’s your sacred duty to steal more slack from the soul-anesthetizing grind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I regularly travel back through time from the year 2036 so as to be here with you. It’s tough to be away from the thrilling transformations that are underway there. But it’s in a good cause. The bedraggled era that you live in needs frequent doses of the vigorous optimism that’s so widespread in 2036, and I’m happy to disseminate it.

Why am I confessing this? Because I suspect you now have an extra talent for gazing into the unknown and exploring undiscovered possibilities. You also have an unprecedented power to set definite intentions about the life you want to be living in the future. Who will you be five years from today? Ten years? Twenty years? Be brave. Be visionary. Be precise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here’s one

strategy you could pursue, I guess: You could spank the Devil with a feather duster as you try to coax him to promise that he will never again trick you with a bogus temptation. But I don’t think that would work, frankly. It may have minor shock value, in which case the Devil might leave you in peace for a short time.

Here’s what I suggest instead: Work at raising your discernment so high that you can quickly identify, in the future, which temptations will deliver you unto evil confusion, and which will feed and hone your most noble desires.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): After a cool, dry period, you’ll soon be slipping into a hot, wet phase.

The reasonable explanations that generated so much apathy are about to get turned inside-out.

The seemingly good excuses that provided cover for your timidity will be exposed as impractical lies.

Are you ready for your passion to roar back into fashion? Will you know what to do when suppressed yearnings erupt and the chemicals of love start rampaging through your soft, warm animal body? I hereby warn you about the oncoming surge of weird delight—and sing “Hallelujah!” for the revelatory fun it will bring.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’m composing your horoscope on my iPhone after midnight on a crowded bus that’s crammed with sweaty revelers.

We’re being transported back to civilization from a rural hideaway where we spent the last 12 hours at a raging party. I still feel ecstatic from the recent bacchanal, but the ride is uncomfortable. I’m pinned against a window by a sleepy, drunken dude who’s not in full control of his body. But do I allow my predicament to interfere with my holy meditation on your destiny? I do not—just as I trust you will keep stoking the fires of your own inspiration in the face of comparable irritations. You have been on a hot streak, my dear. Don't let anything tamp it down!

ART OF THE DEAL A new study suggests marijuana could have been a key trade asset as civilization expanded west.

Pot Dealers Started Western Civilization?

E

VER SINCE HERODOTUS, we’ve known that the nomadic pastoralists of Asia Minor, the Scythians, burned marijuana as part of religious rituals and ceremonies. Now comes new evidence that human commerce with pot extends back even further, and could have even helped stimulate the rise of Western civilization.

At the end of the last Ice Age, roughly 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, people on both sides of the Eurasian land mass independently discovered and made use of marijuana, according to research published in the academic journal Vegetation History and Archaeobotany. That same research links an upsurge in marijuana use in East Asia with the rise of transcontinental trade at the beginning of the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago.

While the traditional view has been that cannabis was first used and domesticated in China or Central Asia and then spread westward, a new database tracking the academic literature on trends and patterns in ADVERTISER: NAME HERE prehistoric pot use suggests that marijuana showed up in both Japan and PUB DATE: ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE: NAME HERE Eastern00/00/15 Europe at almost exactly the same time, between 9400 and 8100 B.C. The database suggests only people in western Eurasia made regular DESIGNER: NAME HERE use of the plant. Early records of its use in East Asia are rare, Long says, ISSUE NUMBER: Metro Silicon Valley at least15XX until about 3000 B.C. 380 South First St. San Jose, CA 95113 | 408.298.8000 At that time, marking the beginning of the Bronze Age, East Asian use picked up again, and researchers think nomadic pastoralists, like the Yamnaya people, thought to be one of three main tribes that founded European civilization, played a key role.

By the beginning of the Bronze Age, the nomads on the steppe had mastered the art of horse riding, which allowed them greater geographical scope and led to the formation of trade networks along the same Eurasian route that would become famous as the Silk Road several millennia later. The Bronze Road facilitated the spread of all sorts of commodities between East and West, perhaps including marijuana.

“It’s a hypothesis that requires more evidence to test,” Long says, noting that marijuana’s high value would have made it an ideal exchange item. Burned marijuana seeds at archaeological sites suggest that the Yamnaya carried the idea of smoking cannabis with them as they spread across Eurasia. —Phillip Smith Phillip Smith is editor of the AlterNet Drug Reporter and author of the ‘Drug War Chronicle.’

PUBLIC INPUT MEETING Tuesday, July 26th at 6:30pm, City Hall Rooms 118-120 July 19, 2016 Re: Public Meeting on Changes to San Jose’s Medical Marijuana Program- July 26, 2016 From: Stephen A. Horner, Esq. on Behalf of MediMarts There are several proposed changes to the Medical Marijuana Program section of the San Jose Municipal Code which the City is seeking public comment upon. In addition to conflicting with state law, these changes fly in the face of the purpose of the City’s program and will result in even less oversight of the cannabis being consumed within the City.

Transacting Business With Other Cultivators Throughout the State Is No Different Than Simply Buying Cannabis on the Black Market.

The City enacted a scheme in which collectives or cooperatives are required to be vertically integrated. This means that each collective is a closed loop in which the collective cultivates and manufactures everything that its members consume. In this model there can be no suppliers, no vendors, no business, no sales, no retail, and no profit. Since the City can only regulate within its borders, it has no way to oversee the quality and safety of third party products. This has been reaffirmed in the City’s Memorandum dated June 30, 2016. However, these products are being sold constantly within the City, many collectives even advertise these products. Each of these transactions is illegal.

Vertical integration also logically requires that a cultivator cultivates for only one collective. A collective also could not buy and sell cannabis on consignment. The only way these transactions would work with vertical integration is if the growers join the collective prior to any cultivation.

Allowing Collectives to Cultivate Outside the City Prevents the City From Implementing an Effective Oversight Regime.

The City should be auditing the cultivation process to ensure that its citizens are receiving safe medicinal cannabis. Obviously, the Federal Drug Administration is not going to police the safety of a schedule 1 controlled substance. The County Health Department also provides no oversight over cannabis. This means that if San Jose’s cannabis patients are going to be protected from the dangers posed by mold, pesticides, additives, etc., the responsibility falls solely on the City. How is the City going to vet, inspect, and oversee the processes at a grower outside the City?

Furthermore, how is this cannabis going to be transported? How would the City oversee transportation through the City’s in which cannabis is still illegal? The answer is that it cannot.

The proposal is no more than retailing cannabis that is very likely transported and cultivated illegally from anywhere in the state.

The Needs of San Jose’s Seriously Ill Patients Require That Collectives Are Allowed to Deliver Cannabis.

There are many locations in the City in which collectives cannot operate. In addition, few collectives are located near public transportation. This creates a hardship for many of the City’s seriously ill individuals. Therefore, the City must allow delivery by collectives. However, the delivery should be done only by collectives and their members to preserve the not-forprofit, vertically-integrated collective model. We cannot allow a “Door Dash” style operation for cannabis delivery in San Jose.

Sharing of Cultivation Sites Must Not Be Used As A Loophole To Avoid Vertical Integration.

The proposal to allow collectives to share cultivation sites would allow de facto commercial growers unless the City exercises diligent oversight. Unless each collective has its members cultivating cannabis at the shared site, the site would be nothing more than a grower for-hire. If there is truly a need for collectives to share a cultivation site, which appears doubtful, then the City should not allow one collective to simply pay the other collective for the cannabis cultivated.

There Is No Reason to Eliminate The Fifty Foot Buffer.

Collectives are required to have security outside the building. Delivery is currently illegal so each and every member must personally pick up his or her needed cannabis, so there is high foot traffic. The collectives are largely on the outskirts of town so nearly every member has to drive. The result is a situation where vehicles are constantly coming and going and individuals often have to wait outside to be processed by security. The buffer is needed to avoid the congestion of foot and vehicle traffic if two collectives were permitted to operate next door to each other.

Greenhouses Create Safety Issues That Must Be Addressed.

A greenhouse puts would-be criminals on notice that cannabis is located therein. Because cannabis remains a hot commodity on the black market, greenhouses may become a target.

These greenhouses would need to be heavily secured. A greenhouse also prevents a fire danger as well as an odor issue. If the City allows greenhouses, it must include a robust regulatory scheme to minimize these risks.

LEGAL BACKGROUND

A LT E R N AT I V E MEDICINE

Controlled Substances Act Under current federal law, marijuana is illegal, considered to have no beneficial use, and contraband under all circumstances. Federal law will always preempt conflicting state law.

Compassionate Use Act In 1996 California voters passed Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 later codified as California Health and Safety Code section 11362.5 (“CUA”). The CUA was enacted “[t]o ensure that seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes.” Although the CUA itself uses the word “right” most state courts have interpreted the CUA to be a limited defense to criminal prosecution for a very specific and limited set of individuals: 1) Seriously ill California patients; and 2) primary caregivers of

those seriously ill patients, when either engage in the use of marijuana for medical purposes. Courts have made it clear that the CUA is a narrow measure with narrow ends. Contrary to popular belief, there is no right but only a defense against state prosecution for the use of marijuana for medical purposes.

Medical Marijuana Program Act The State Legislature passed Senate Bill 420, also known as the Medical Marijuana Program Act (“MMPA”) in 2003. The bill was codified as California Health and Safety Code § 11362.7 et. seq.. The purpose of the MMPA was to “[c]larify the scope of the application of the [CUA] and facilitate the prompt identification of qualified patients and their designated primary caregivers . . . (2) Promote uniform and consistent application of the act among the counties within the state. [And] (3) Enhance the access of patients and caregivers to medical marijuana through collective, cooperative cultivation projects.” The MMPA did not create blanket immunity or additional rights it simply expanded the defenses and criminal immunities under the CUA. The MMPA allows for the formation and operation of medical marijuana cooperatives that receive reimbursement for services provided in conjunction with the provision of that marijuana. The MMPA created a very strict set of limited rights under which marijuana could be legally produced and collectively transferred.

PERSISTENT ISSUES 1. Sale of Cannabis: Irrespective of the CUA and MMPA’s defenses, the sale, possession for sale or purchase of marijuana, whether for medical purposes or otherwise, is strictly prohibited. More importantly the MMPA does not allow qualified patients, valid identification cardholders or their primary caregivers to earn a profit from the cultivation or distribution of medical marijuana, whether through a cooperative, collective or otherwise. The defense from penal prosecution afforded by the MMPA applies only when no sale occurs and there is no profit. “Nothing allows marijuana to be purchased from outside the collective or cooperative for distribution to its members. Instead, the cycle should be a closed-circuit of marijuana cultivation and consumption with no purchases or sales to or from non-members.” These closed-circuit collectives and cooperatives must be comprised of actual human medical cannabis patients and not legal entities. In other words, only members of a collective may participate in the cultivation or transportation of cannabis.

While there are currently closed-loop collectives that are each comprised of a certain group of individuals working towards a singular goal of producing the medicine that the group needs for its medical conditions; many of proposals would create a market in which collectives’ goals are not the needs of each collectives’ members, but production for sale in an open market. All the while, the City would take a cut of the monetary transactions through the Marijuana Business Tax. The CUA does not allow these sales. No other state law or regulation allows sales. They are also plainly illegal under Federal Law. The City should not go down the path of encouraging and profiting from these illegal transactions. California courts, on numerous occasions, have made it clear that marijuana is only to be collectively grown and shared, but not sold–anything outside of that is met with heavy resistance.

JUST SAY 'NO' TO THE CITY'S CARTEL

2. Delivery The City Manager’s Office has provided a conclusory statement against delivery. There is no reason that the same patient vetting process would not apply to deliveries so there is also no reason that diversion is more likely if deliveries are allowed. A city’s police power over medical cannabis has limits and may not be applied beyond the scope of the CUA and MMPA or in contravention to the intent of the MMPA. Transportation is a necessary activity to ensure patients access to medical cannabis. The proposed ban on delivery only serves to erect a barrier between seriously ill patients and medical cannabis. The areas in which collectives can operate is severely limited so seriously ill patients who do not happen to live near a collective and do not have a primary care giver are forced to leave their homes and travel to a collective. While many patients are able to travel freely, a large contingent is too ill to leave their homes. These are the individuals that the CUA, the MMPA, and the City’s Municipal Code is intended to serve most and it is irrational to put the burden of traveling to remote parts of the City on them.

In the House FEELING THE FLO MLS booked Flo Rida to perform a public concert in San Jose—and one writer is miffed.

MLS All-Star Game shows host city San Jose the love

BY GARY SINGH

M

AJOR LEAGUE SOCCER will commandeer downtown San Jose over the next week in preparation for its annual All-Star Game. Concerts, fan gatherings, interactive exhibits, outdoor games and numerous other events will lead up to Thursday’s match, which pits the best of MLS against Arsenal FC, one of the most storied clubs of all time and one that counts Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols among its lifelong fans.

As the host city, San Jose Earthquakes coach Dominic Kinnear will lead the MLS All-Stars, a team of 20 players he chose from across the league. As of Sunday, the final game day roster will include international stars David Villa, Andrea Pirlo, Kaka and Didier Drogba, as well as Americans Clint Dempsey and Chris Wondolowski, the latter a star for the Earthquakes.

But that’s just the main event.

Starting Saturday, MLS will take over San Pedro Square Market, converting the space to a remote headquarters for the league’s content writers, plus a variety of video and social activations, curated screens, sponsor booths, player activations and signings, a media lounge and all sorts of goings-on. Fog City Swampers and Tony Lindsay will perform on

Saturday, and an organized 5K run will take place on Sunday.

The entirety of Plaza de Cesar Chavez will likewise be transformed into a multifunctional public space all week long, including a headlining concert by Flo Rida and Belanova on Monday night. Look for a miniature 40-by-100-foot soccer pitch, plus seating areas, a bike valet, VIP spaces, sponsor areas and numerous activities for five straight days. Everything is free, but for the concert, fans will need to snag a digital pass online and bring it to the gig.

And there’s more. More than 30 All-Star and Earthquakes players will appear in various locales during the week. At Avaya Stadium, the annual “Homegrown Game” takes place Wednesday, the day before the AllStar Game. Coached by former San Jose Earthquakes and U.S. National Team star Landon Donovan, the homegrown team is comprised of players aged 23 and under, all of whom came up through their

respective MLS club’s development system. They will compete against Mexico’s under-20 national team.

Unlike the Super Bowl, the entire week is a local affair, with downtown San Jose as its focus. The league and the Earthquakes devised a plan to take advantage of the city’s public and common spaces and were obviously proud to be organizing events here. Unlike the NFL’s Big Game, there might actually be a few people showing up to populate downtown. At least we hope.

The only thing MLS and the ’Quakes got wrong was not hiring Johnny Rotten to perform the free concert.

The only thing MLS and the ’Quakes got wrong was not hiring Johnny Rotten to perform the free concert. John Lydon, as he’s universally known, is a North London original and to this day, a die-hard Arsenal supporter. In his autobiography, Anger is an Energy: My Life Uncensored, Lydon includes several passages about following Arsenal through all the ups and downs. He views football as a game allowing for humor when your team stinks. “[Football] gets you into the mode of having a laugh at losing,” Lydon writes. “You can actually enjoy looking forward to the next tragic defeat. And there’s nothing else that gives me that ability. It serves an absolutely brilliant, beautiful purpose. It’s the theater of emotions, not dreams.”

Lydon grew up in a slum while going to games at Arsenal’s old stadium, the storied Highbur. So when it comes to the new Emirates Stadium, which sits right on the land where he lived as a child, Lydon writes: “$75 a ticket, these days, to go to Arsenal? For that money, you should get to have sex with all the footballers’ wives.”

Only five months old, Poorboy’s Cajun Chicken in Santa Clara brings a blast of bayou cuisine and fried favorites to Silicon Valley.

Though the restaurant’s name may imply a poultry emphasis, it couldn’t be further from the truth. Poorboy’s offers up just about every type of mud crawler and mussel that America produces—from catfish and crayfish to oysters—all served in a spicy Cajun style. Meals are presented in large tin dog bowls and utensils are minimal; only forks, spoons and industrial deli style latex gloves are provided for the greasy feast.

A major feature of Poorboy’s is the ability to order every type of dish in any number of ways. If one is seeking a sandwich—a Po’boy to be specific—the choices of filling range from fried oyster and soft shell crab to grilled Andouille sausage. This extends to fry baskets, salads and more.

Besides their rather extensive selection of Po’boy sandwiches, Poorboy’s Cajun Chicken also offers things like jambalaya and lobster bisque, as well as the typical French fry/chicken wing American fare.

The centerpiece of the menu, however, is the Seafood Boil. Served with choices such as squid or Maine lobster, with three types of spicing, the smorgasbords are like the stone soups of southern seafood. Served by the pound, the grand course also includes two pieces of corn and sausage.

Ironically, the chicken dishes were probably the weakest on the menu.

The popcorn chicken a la carte was overcooked and too chewy. This trend extends to their namesake, at least in the chicken and shrimp Po’boys.

While retaining the foundations of what constitutes a Po’boy sandwich— basically a meat- or seafood-filled crispy baguette with slaw—the flavors of Poorboy’s chicken and shrimp renditions melted into a singular taste.

The standout dish I tried was the Cajun egg rolls. A subversion of the typical Asian style wrap, Poorboy’s Cajun rolls are a crispy, seasoned union of pork and vegetables served with a side of mustard sauce. Not unlike any other type of egg or vegetable roll, the Cajun roll is enhanced by its over-the-top crunchiness.

While PUB their DATE: trademark sandwiches lack a certain wow-factor, Poorboy’s Cajun00/00/15 Chicken is a refreshing option in a sea of health-oriented fracas.

It’s no oceanside shop in Baltimore, but Poorboy’s Cajun Chicken is a delicious, stomach-filling and even exotic journey into another, not so ISSUE NUMBER: glamorized 15XX side of American cuisine. —Tad Malone

In contrast to its previous stand-alone location, the new space is sandwiched between other restaurants, which seems a fair trade for taller ceilings and large windows that bathe the dining areas in natural light. I found the old location to be very dim anyway. The new design takes notes from its sister restaurant, The Sea by Alexander’s Steakhouse, and showcases an open kitchen and a bar featuring top-shelf spirits. Upon entry, it is apparent that the brand is shedding its old school grandeur for modern luxury.

During the recent preview reception, I noshed on passed hors d’oeuvres like foie gras lollipops coated in a strawberry rhubarb glaze.

Served chilled and standing in a bed of rock salt, the morsels melted into a swirl of rich, savory, and sweet in my mouth. After a seated meal of beef sliders and Jamon Iberico with tomato relish on crostini, we sipped on glasses of Prosecco. We were feeling uber fancy until out came a server with a plate of lamb chops so divine in their smoky flavor and sweet glaze that all manners were tossed out the window as we dined with our hands, stripping every last bit of meat with the cilantro sauce off the bone. Alexander’s still knows how to handle its red meat.

Past the window display of aging beef on drying racks and samples of the different cuts, we migrated to the bar. I recall this same display at the entrance of the old location, but it was more impressive this time thanks to the brighter lights and taller glass case. Bartenders were concocting Alexander’s original cocktails like the Bruce Lee-Chee, a vodka drink with lychee foam, and the New Fashion, a play on the classic Old Fashioned made with Buffalo Trace Bourbon. We scarfed down toast squares with Alexander’s private label caviar and grabbed our drinks for a self-guided tour of the private banquet rooms. A portion of the open kitchen blended into an in-house patisserie, a new addition from their previous setup.

Alexander’s has taken the move as an opportunity to reinvent their brand for the better. From the looks of this preview dinner, the work has already paid off. —Ngoc Ngo ALEXANDER’S STEAKHOUSE 19379 Stevens Creek Blvd, Cupertino. 408.446.2222
