Teacher Tussle A lawsuit accuses the head of the largest vocational education center in Northern California of misusing public funds, retaliation and fraudulently awarding teaching credentials. Filed last week in federal court, the claim alleges ALYSSA LYNCH, superintendent of Santa Clara County’s Metropolitan Education District (MetroED), intimidated unionized employees, failed to keep its campus safe and bullied the plaintiff, a hearing-impaired teacher named MARK DAVIS. Lynch didn’t return Fly’s request for comment. Neither did Davis or his attorney, San Diego-based KEVIN MIRCH. But the allegations echo those made by several former teachers in 2015, when the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) found that MetroED failed all but one of the legal benchmarks to certify teachers. The CTC suspended the credentialing program indefinitely, while Lynch blamed the debacle on an employee’s departure. On average, MetroEd produced up to 90 graduates each school year, and these students were suddenly forced to transfer to programs as far away as San Joaquin, Fresno and Sonoma counties. Instead of trying to turn around the failing credentialing program, Davis claims, Lynch overstated the number of teachers to administrators “whenever necessary.” The lawsuit adds that “MetroED hired cheaper, less qualified individuals to teach students” as a way to divert funds to go toward “unqualified non-education projects.” This resulted in less of a “full time school, but instead a camouflaged lobbying institution diverting education funding from MetroED to be used for its administrative political agendas.”

Allegations of institutional They dysfunction stem from Did Davis’ personnel conflict, which apparently began What? with his repeated SEND TIPS TO requests for tighter FLY@ security on campus.

METRONEWS. Davis says he tried to COM report a fight between two students to his boss, Silicon Valley Career Technical Education Center director MARIANNE CARTAN, who allegedly blamed the incident on his hearing loss. By ignoring the security needs, Davis claims, the agency could allocate more funding for Lynch's lobbying, personal expenses and “golden parachutes.”

Rates of Wrath FED UP Rita Benton and Ginny Hoerger, founders of a fledgling activist group called WRATES, are demanding greater transparency from the South Bay’s largest water company.

H2O watchdogs catch San Jose Water overbilling customers—the question is by how many millions?

BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

B

Y INQUIRING ABOUT a subtle detail in her water bill, Rita Benton uncovered what may amount to a multimillion-dollar debt to more than a million people in the South Bay.

In January, the Saratoga resident asked San Jose Water Co., an investor-owned water retailer that serves more than half the population of Silicon Valley, why she was billed for a service charge increase before the date set by state regulators. In her case, it was a slight hike, from $47.96 to $50.03, but she was forced to pay the bi-monthly increase twice.

Apparently, so did other San Jose Water customers. The company told

Benton that on Jan. 1 it switched from billing service charges in advance to billing in arrears. Instead of skipping a cycle, however, the company said it double-billed customers—for roughly $1.8 million.

John Tang, vice president of government relations and corporate communications at San Jose Water, conceded that ratepayers were charged more than they owed. To make up for it, the company offered to pay back the $1.8 million. The single largest refund would come to $436.77, Tang tells Metro, while the average residential customer would get $5.70.

Benton calls the $1.8 million refund a gross underestimate. As the ringleader of the fledgling activist group WRATES—short for Water Rate Advocates for Transparency, Equity and Sustainability—she’d been keeping a close eye on San Jose Water and

had reason to distrust the company’s calculus. Fellow WRATES member Ginny Hoerger helped Benton crunch the numbers on seven-and-a-half years of water bills and came up with a much higher total for overcharges: $13 million.

“That’s at minimum, according to our count,” Benton says. “The total may be much higher than that, which is why we need an independent review of the situation.”

By her calling attention to the oversight, a state investigation is about to get underway. But the conflict pits grass-roots activists against a monopoly with highpriced attorneys.

“The irony,” Benton says, “is that ratepayers are on the hook for their lawyers, while we’re left to fend for ourselves.”

Playbill The battle over the $1.8 million refund ramped up in mid-April, when Benton filed a formal complaint with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the government agency that approves all water rate hikes and has a reputation

letters in the past two years were met with a call for rejection by the ORA, Rauschmeier says.

“In terms of this being a strong case, I would say that [San Jose Water] has acknowledged in their advice letter that customers were overcharged,” he says. “So there is no dispute that a refund is due.”

As to who should be reimbursed and in what amount, that should be for regulators—not San Jose Water—to decide, Hoerger and Benton argue.

Thurs. 7:30pm

The Algorithm Hoerger and Benton, neighbors in an upscale Saratoga suburb, founded WRATES to address a common frustration. The two would vent to each other on walks about what they considered unfair billing practices.

Despite dramatically cutting back water use during California’s dogged drought, their water bills skyrocketed.

“We see each other all the time,” Hoerger says, surrounded by stacks of invoices, regulatory reports and other records on Benton’s dining room table. “But one day we were like, ‘So about those water bills.’ That got us energized to do something.”

“Energized?” Benton chimes in. “I just say pissed.”

Hoerger laughs and gives a knowing nod. “You could say that,” she says. “So, right after, I walked home and began working on a model to analyze the rate increases.”

Analyzing several years of her personal water bills, Hoerger created an algorithm to decipher a confusing and complicated billing system.

“It’s not a very transparent bill,” explains Hoerger, an electrical engineer by trade. “Each customer’s water usage is different one month to the next. The bills don’t come in at the same time for everyone and it’s never the same number of days. Even year to year, it’s hard to compare because of all these variables and all this proration involved.”

Plugging each line of data from her invoices into the formula, however, showed exactly how much rates have risen for the average customer from September 2013 to September 2016.

By Hoerger’s snapshot calculation, the typical customer saw a 71 percent increase—not even including drought surcharges.

“I tested it to make sure everything

for cozy relations with companies it’s tasked with regulating. It took two months of waiting and signature gathering before the commission assigned a docket number to the case.

“They put it on hold for no apparent reason,” Benton says.

On its face, the delay appears strategic, Benton says. While the state put her case on hold, San Jose Water was preparing a so-called advice letter—an informal petition submitted to the CPUC requesting a change to tariffs—to refund customers.

“They think that by offering this small amount they’ll resolve this,” Benton says.

“But we don’t think that’s fair, and we think they’re trying to make this go away to avoid a thorough investigation.”

In a meeting at San Jose Water’s corporate headquarters on Taylor Street, Tang and newly hired spokesflack Jayme Ackemann dispute Benton’s calculus and characterization.

“Rita’s interpreting the issue as an overbilling,” says Ackemann, who corrected Tang not to even refer to the charges with that term. “That is, in our view, not a reflection of what it was.

The tariff allows us to treat the service charge in a certain fashion, and when the issue was brought to our attention, we addressed it. But we’re still in compliance with past practice.”

However, the state’s Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA)—a part advisory, part watchdog agency under the aegis of the CPUC—insists that the oversight merits an independent audit.

On June 23, ORA program manager Richard Smith urged the CPUC to reject San Jose Water’s advice letter because it “appears to raise significant policy questions and to be highly controversial.”

“The fact that multiple customers were overcharged is undisputed,” Smith continued. “However, the cause(s) and magnitude of the overcharges remain unresolved by the [CPUC] and should be examined with an evidentiary record.”

ORA analyst Richard Rauschmeier acknowledges that his office has no authority to mandate the advice letter’s rejection, although the CPUC has suspended any decision pending further review.

“The ORA, we’re not a decision maker,” he says. “We’re made up of analysts, of engineers, accountants, policy folks and other experts who issue recommendations.”

The agency’s call to deny the water company’s request is significant. Only 5 percent of San Jose Water’s advice

He isn’t so content after all. Forager is on a mission to revolutionize the local culinary and sips scene. 12

HOPPIN’ HANGOUT Forager created a comfortable parklet that features a canopy of hops for shade and possibly beer in the future.

Compared to other major metropolitan areas like Portland, Seattle and San Diego, San Jose and surrounding cities have relatively few options to find a locally brewed beer. Despite the fact that over a million people live here, San Jose is home to less than 10 of the 120 plus breweries in the Bay Area. And people are thirsty.

A handful of ale-loving entrepreneurs have started to take it upon themselves to quench the valley.

Hapa’s Brewing Co. opened its doors in January in an industrial Midtown taproom, and Uproar Brewing made its long-anticipated debut last month across the street from Forager in downtown’s SoFA District. On Friday, July 21, Forager will kick off the fifth annual Silicon Valley Beer Week with 16 taps of locally crafted cold ones in constant rotation.

“I had been thinking about it and really wanted to do something big, something for the local brewers,” Jones says.

Highlighting local brews is just one way Forager is redefining downtown’s sips scene. The tap room, which officially opened five months ago, is equal parts beer, coffee, food and arts—the staples of urban culture.

Jones came to San Jose five years ago as a health care IT worker, and he began searching for restaurants and after-hours spots on par with the world-class offerings in San Francisco and Berkeley. “I wondered, where is that happening in San Jose, is that happening in San Jose?”

Along with friends and co-owners Dave Johnson and Brian Chen, Jones developed a blueprint for an enterprise that would eventually expand its vision.

The initial idea called for a triad of handcrafted beers, hand-carved meats and handmade breads. But when the team came across the vast venue that formerly housed South First Billiards, the project’s ambitions expanded to match the building’s 14,400 square feet of untapped potential.

13

‘When we first stepped in here, it was kind of like a lightbulb realization of what we could do’ “When we first stepped in here,” Jones says, “it was kind of like a lightbulb realization of what we could do.”

In developing a project pitch for the seed accelerator Y Combinator, which helps incubate startups by giving them financial support and mentorship, Jones learned what it takes to turn an idea into a business.

In the process, he discovered a new angle for his own budding business.

“When I walked into this space, I was like, ‘We should be incubating food, we should be an incubator for startup chefs,’” Jones says. “That’s really how it happened. This space was inspirational and definitely pivotal in coming to that conclusion.”

This “aha!” moment will encompass Forager’s final phase: becoming a launching pad for entrepreneurs in the food, beer and arts industry. The plan is to build out six kitchens and a microbrewery, which will be leased to local chefs and brewers as a testing grounds

Forager is currently in phase one.

The brick walls and vaulted ceilings create an airy expanse that presently shelters a bar with speciality roasts from Devout Coffee, Bay Area beers and Napa wines, in addition to fusion cuisine served up by chef Lee Hernandez. The space also serves as a venue for monthly residencies, where musicians and artists perform and showcase their work.

True to its minimalistic, rustic interior, the name “Forager” is reminiscent of an older, simpler way of life—a time when people gathered around the fire each night to eat, drink, share stories and celebrate.

“That’s something that’s core to our nature as humans,” Jones says.

“We wanted to play on that and create a space that is really all about bringing people together, sharing great food, sharing great drinks and experiencing local culture.”

A unique vision is brewing in the heart of SoFA. At Forager, anyone with an appetite—whether it be for art, food, beer or innovation—is welcome.

Party It Forward the annual beer extravaganza’s VIP Party will help benefit local nonprofits

By Camille Miller

O

N FRIDAY, JULY 21, Forager will do what it does best—highlight local craft culture by serving up live music and the best beers in the valley.

The tasting room and eatery is kicking off Beer Week with a beer garden featuring specialty offerings exclusively from San Jose breweries.

The $20 general admission fee covers a tasting flight of seven 3-ounce pours, as well as four hours of live music and tipsy mingling in the warm, rustic ambiance of the vast venue. There will also be a VIP lounge for those who want to support local nonprofits, and the $40 admission grants early-bird entry to the beer garden and exclusive access to the Brewers’ Lounge, where

guests can pick the brains of local brewmasters. VIP members will also get a taste of Chef Lee Hernandez’s seasonal selection of small plates.

Forager has worked with more than two dozen local breweries since it opened this February. With 16 taps in rotation, the cafe/bar/arts venue is on a mission to bring unique, regional flavors to the heart of Silicon Valley.

Each ticket purchased helps support the Metro C2SV Community Fund, which is administered by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Over the years, the Metro C2SV Community Fund has donated more than $50,000 to local nonprofits that include: ArtSPARK, Bill Wilson Center, Black Girls CODE, Children’s Discovery Museum, Cinequest, East Palo Alto Kids Foundation and many other causes that benefit the local community.

TART TIPPLING Sour beers are growing in popularity and complexity.

The Science of Sour The latest trend in craft beer finds brewers looking back and puckering up

By Nick Veronin

A

FEW YEARS AGO, it wasn’t uncommon for patrons of Original Gravity to come in asking for the hoppiest, heaviest IPA on tap. So says Rob Monroe, general manager at the downtown San Jose suds and sausage house.

That was amid the peak of the IPA craze. It seemed like every microbrewer was producing double- and triple-IPAs with high alcohol content and even higher international bittering unit scores. It got so crazy that Guinness even got

in on the game, producing its own Nitro IPA—an exceedingly weird, cash-grabbing mash-up.

But everything goes in cycles, and there is nothing new under the sun. Even as the high alcohol content and bitterness of overly hopped brew has given way to more balanced beers, including session IPAs and microbrew lagers, a new tongue twister has risen in popularity: the sour.

Sour beers are not a recent invention. In fact, the first beers ever stumbled upon by our ancient ancestors were likely quite tangy—

and probably not that palatable, according to Tony Jwanouskos, operations manager at OG. In recent years, however, the nowscientifically calibrated tart brew has moved from a delicacy appreciated mostly by beer aficionados to an in-demand commodity. So much so that Anheuser-Busch InBev moved to purchase Wicked Weed Brewing earlier this year. The North Carolinabased microbrewery was known for its acclaimed sour and funky beers, according to Monroe and Jwanouskos.

But just because Wicked Weed sold out doesn’t mean you should. The Original Gravity managers advise those seeking the most complex sours to look for authenticity. It’s possible to create acidic ales artificially via a process known as “kettle souring,” but the best brews with bite come naturally, they say. That means rolling the dice with wild yeasts—specifically the strain known as Brettanomyces, or Brett—and unruly bacteria, like Lactobacillus and Pediococcus.

As Monroe and Jwanouskos discuss the artisanal process, they throw around words like “funky,” “barnyard,” “straw-flavored,” “fruity” and “sharp.”

It’s reminiscent of the way a sommelier might discuss a rarefied vintage.

“It’s an incredible side of beer,” Jwanouskos says of the sour brewing.

“I think it rivals the complexities and nuance of wine.”

That’s because producing a palatable sour is no easy task.

Unlike with IPAs—where finding the right taste profile comes from adding or subtracting different varieties of hops—crafting a great sour involves an understanding of how a particular strain of bacteria or yeast is going to operate. It is the intersection of brewing and biology.

Neither Monroe or Jwanouskos are hating on IPAs, and they don’t think the India pale ale style is going anywhere. But it’s clear that beer heads now hold a certain reverence for sours. “They offer a complexity that I don’t think any other beverage does,” Monroe says.

ORE THAN 100 events take place for the Fifth Annual Silicon Valley Beer Week, but the culmination— KraftBrew Summer Fest at Mexican Heritage Plaza— should not be missed.

Storied San Jose impresarios Chris Esparza and Omar Rodriguez team up to organize the annual gala, which features more than 25 American craft brews along with European and Mexican imports.

Esparza, who owns marketing firm Giant Creative, has a long history of hosting musical and culinary events and running destination

restaurants in downtown. Rodriguez, co-owner of Kooltura Marketing, has elevated the profile of local cultural institutions, including the Multicultural Arts Leadership Institute, National Association of Latino Arts and Culture, School of Arts and Culture, Cashion Cultural Legacy and Eastside Art & History.

Esparza and Rodriguez channel their passion for local flavors and color into the KraftBrew Beer Festival, which boasts live entertainment and a host of local food and retail vendors.

The festivities run from 1-6pm July 30 at Mexican Heritage Plaza, 1700 Alum Rock Ave., in San Jose. For information, visit Facebook.com/kraftbrew.

An inside look at San Jose politics

PAPER PUSHERS Ginny Hoerger developed an algorithm that she says proves the San Jose Water company is not being forthcoming.

checked out, then called up Rita,” Hoerger says, “I tell her, ‘You have to see this.’”

“It was the first time we were able to compare apples to apples,” Benton says.

“It gave us a year-to-year snapshot.”

Armed with their algorithm and a Change.org petition calling attention to the exorbitant invoices, they rallied hundreds of impassioned water customers in the late fall of 2016. Over the ensuing months, they created an informational website and began to lobby San Jose Water and the CPUC. The group also struck up correspondence with the ORA, the Santa Clara Valley Water District and state and local lawmakers.

In early January, the San Jose Water critics christened themselves WRATES. By the end of that month, they celebrated their first victory when pressure from the nascent activist network prompted the water company to drop its drought surcharge.

WRATES’ activism quickly expanded in scope.

The group’s reach grew to thousands of San Jose Water customers, who were similarly fed up with what they call unsustainable and inequitable rate hikes and

profiteering off of a public resource.

When WRATES drummed up a cost comparison between San Jose Water and its peers, the group found that the local utility is one of the most expensive in California.

Bonus Round WRATES found that the San Josebased Great Oaks Water Co.— another investor-owned utility— charges 87 percent less than San Jose Water. While public agencies, such as the San Jose Municipal Water System and the Gilroy Community Service Department, charge less than half the rate. Outside the region, the cost comparison is even starker. San Jose Water charges 386 percent more than the city of Folsom and 396 percent more than the El Dorado Irrigation District.

Tang takes issue with WRATES’ comparisons. For one, each of those jurisdictions buys its water from different sources, which affects the cost to customers. Capital improvement changes the rates, too. If an agency needs to upgrade an aging system, that can result in a higher price for customers.

“Comparing rates is notoriously difficult,” Tang says. “It depends on a number of factors that cannot be just easily deduced.”

Private water companies have long played a key role in California, expanding infrastructure to new developments outside of cities.

Industry analysts say they will continue to meet the public’s need as government funding continues to fall short of what’s required to make billions of dollars in costly upgrades.

Yet more than ever, the companies are neither small nor local.

In the century-and-a-half since its founding, the San Jose Water Co. has grown from two water tanks and 400 connections to a monopolized corporation that sells water to more than a million people in Santa Clara Valley. In 1985, the San Jose Water Co. reincorporated as a subsidiary of SJW Corp. and again in 2016 as an affiliate of SJW Group, a Delaware corporation.

Though the CPUC regulates the San Jose Water Co., it has no authority over SJW Group or related corporations, including SJW Land, the Texas Water Alliance and SJWTX. Group directors and officers are shared between SJW Group and its subsidiaries, however, allowing them to transfer money and land from one entity to another.

While ratepayers get squeezed—and overcharged, as WRATES discovered earlier this year—executives in San Jose Water’s corporate office take home seven-figure compensation packages, multiple retirement plans and generous bonuses.

San Jose Water CEO W. Richard Roth’s salary grew from $676,000 to $767,936 from 2014 to 2017. His cash bonus target went from $169,000 in 2014 to $192,000 this year, according to the filings submitted by the company to the federal Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Though the company set his bonus target to $184,600 in 2016, his actual payout came to $235,365, per the SEC. From 2014 to 2016, Roth’s total compensation—including salary, bonuses, stock awards and other incentives—totaled nearly $6.4 million.

The current value of his pensions comes to more than $7.7 million.

BY THE NUMBERS

$424,349 A long-simmering dispute between the city of Santa Clara and San Francisco 49ers has been reignited during the NFL offseason. A leaked draft of an audit claims the Niners’ subsidiaries owe the city hundreds of thousands of dollars for its use of Levi’s Stadium.

The findings appear to affirm Mayor Lisa Gillmor’s suspicions that taxpayer money has improperly subsidized the venue. Under a measure approved by the city's voters in 2010, no public money or city staff time is supposed to be spent on Levi's Stadium events.

A leaked draft of the audit, conducted by the Harvey M. Rose firm, found that the 49ers owe the city $424,349 for public safety staff time. The 49ers quickly tried to discredit the findings.

In a 10-page response letter, the team called the report erroneous, incomplete and riddled with half-truths. The audit recommends strengthening financial controls over the stadium lease.

Dando Succumbs to Lung Cancer Pat Dando, the former vice mayor of San Jose and CEO of the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce, died of lung cancer Sunday. She was 71.

Dando served the South Bay in a variety of roles, and she rarely held back from expressing her opinion.

As a staffer in Mayor Tom McEnery’s office and later as council member, Dando had a major hand in shaping Pat Dando Almaden Valley.

In a 1998 interview with Metro, former San Jose Councilman David Pandori summed up Dando’s political approach. “Pat was easy to get along with but had very, very strong views,” he said. “She wanted to do things. She wasn't there to read reports and say, ‘I agree, I agree, I agree.’”—Payje Redmond

Thu, 5:30pm, $10+ Plaza de Cesar Chavez, San Jose

Fri, 5pm, Free Courthouse Square, Redwood City

Fri, 6pm, Free Streetlight Records, San Jose

Casual fans will know Blues Traveler for the Grammingwinning hit “Run-Around,” but hardcore devotees know that the band is about much more than their 1994 chart-topper.

The Travelers started as a high school jam band in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1987, scored big with their fourth LP, Four, and then faded from the limelight.

But the group has trucked on, continuing to play through the death of a founding member and lead singer John Popper’s personal struggles. The band will celebrate its 30th anniversary in the heart of downtown at Music in the Park. (CM)

The Police Activities League brings the blues to Redwood City with the 12th installment of its Music, Arts and BBQ Festival. This year the law enforcement group is celebrating ladies in blues with performances by noteworthy female performers whose cumulative careers span generations. One such performer is Bay Area native Sugar Pie DeSanto, who is still known to cut a rug despite having celebrated her 82nd birthday this year. The two-day festival will also include sets by Fillmore Slim, San Jose blues scene alumna Lara Price and the Bay Area’s reigning queen of blues and gospel, Lady Bianca. (YK)

Photographer Susana Millman will be commandeering Streetlight Records this Friday to present her new book featuring a collection of up close and personal photos of The Grateful Dead. Her husband, Dennis Mcnally, who wrote the band’s biography and worked as publicist for them for over a decade before Jerry Garcia’s death, will also be in attendance.

Together the two will put on a 30-minute presentation in honor of the band. Afterward, the couple will finish everything off with a book signing. (YK)

Killing It METAL BLADES The cast of ‘Lizzie,’ now playing at City Lights Theater, belt out hard-rocking tunes in Victorian era dress.

‘Lizzie’ takes on Borden family murders with humor, drama, rock & roll

BY TAD MALONE

C

ITY LIGHTS THEATER Company’s summer production is a fun, frightening and raucous musical retelling of one of America’s most infamous murder cases.

Lizzie follows the life and (alleged) crimes of Lizzie Borden. Most known to the world through a grisly nursery rhyme, Borden famously went on trial for the murder of her parents in 1892, after their bodies had been found axed to death. Some say it was for revenge, others money and still others point the finger in different directions.

And although Lizzie was eventually

acquitted of the murders, her story still haunts American culture.

The show opens on a sparely furnished, almost bare, Victorian room. The walls are covered in picture frames. The largest two hold digital pictures of Lizzie’s father and stepmother. The rest are empty.

Enter four women dressed in the style of the era. Each takes turns introducing herself and providing some exposition for Borden’s story through opening songs like “Forty Whacks” and “The House of Borden.”

The quartet consists of Alice, Borden’s friend and burgeoning love interest; Bridget, the creepy and ever-present housemaid; Emma, the other Borden girl; and Lizzie Borden herself.

From there, the cast sets out the inspiration and motivation for the

murders, the plot to pull it off, and Lizzie’s subsequent arrest and trial for the crimes. While historically the murder is typically tied to tensions over inheritance, Lizzie takes a wilder route, pinning the impetus for the crimes on sexual abuse, sexual repression and the growing desperation of a family without love.

The cast is small but talented. Alice, played by Sharon Lita, is Lizzie’s friend, lover, and as the musical progresses, the only person in whom Lizzie can confide. Lita plays the part with earnestness and intimacy, punctuating their stormy love with her emotive voice. Emma Borden, played by Amy Soriano-Palag, is the proverbial type-A older sister. Her voice is as strong as her actions are manipulative, and SorianoPalagi succeeds in portraying such complexities.

Lizzie, played by Hayley Lovgren, is a complicated character. From desperation to anger and revenge, Lovgren conveys Borden’s justifiably

spinning wheel of emotions throughout the bloody process, accentuating all of it with a mighty voice that, at moments, pushes the energy of Lizzie into the stratosphere.

The performance of the night, however, goes to Chloe Angst as Bridget. Facing the crowd with a creepy, uncertain scowl, Angst immediately sets the unique tone of the character, only adding depth through her strong and varied vocal performance.

And while they all stand on their own, the cast works just as well as ensemble. From simple but tight staging and choreography to vocals, the cast moves in lockstep through the show, often enhancing the experience through their orchestrated but simultaneously unrestrained passion. At times, the musical feels more like a concert by an all-female band, like Sleater-Kinney or Bikini Kill, than a historical whodunit.

Another great feature of the show is the inclusion of a live band. And it’s not just your average jazz cafe flair; everything from chimes, bells, violins and cellos are included in this genrebending, electrifying soundtrack. In comparison with the actors, it’s hard to ignore the music as it practically plays a lead role in Lizzie. From exclamations to cartoon-like pauses, the music acts as a quirky accompaniment to the pacing of the story.

Beyond bit parts, the sound design is one of the best features of the show. Casting the story in different tonal hues, the band plays rock, blues, and even post-hardcore to reinforce Lizzie and the others’ struggle with bloodlust. Switching between plodding bass-driven beats and lush orchestral compositions, the music is organized in such a way that the quick pacing and transition between scenes never feels forced or hurried.

City Lights Theater Company has a knack for picking interesting, timely, and downright fun stories to bring to the stage, and Lizzie is no exception.

All in all, Lizzie is a dark, intense and acerbically funny exploration of the fine line between female empowerment and murder.

Featuring: Claritas Kölsch Ale. This refreshingly smooth, authentically German beer is light straw in color, infused with light fruit and bready aromatics from the German Pilsner malt, hops, and yeast.

Grapefruit Solis IPA. This beer kicks it up a notch by taking an awesome San Diego–style IPA and pumping it full of citrusy grapefruit—we’re talking real fruit, zest and juice.

The complementary hops and subtle malt makes this a summertime winner.

MONTALVO ARTS CENTER PRESENTS

Opening Celebration:

a pitch for the Giants’ San Jose-based farm team.

Friday, July 21, 6–10pm • Free!

Chasing the Dream WHEN TABITHA SOREN accompanied her husband, Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball, to the Oakland A’s spring training camp, it was a stroke of luck that the she brought her camera along. There, the former MTV reporter met the team’s 2002 minor league draft picks—21 young men whose lives she would follow for the next 14 years.

“When I met them, they were so full of hope and purpose that I felt like I wanted to capture that emotion on film,” Soren recalls.

While screaming fans and big money saturate the narrative of Major League Baseball’s superstars, the 180 photographs in Soren’s exhibit— titled “Fantasy Life”—capture the hidden faces and stories behind our national pastime. The resulting exhibition is less about the dream, and more about the waking life of those who pursue a career in The Show.

Tabitha Soren “I definitely wanted to give an example of the fantasy we are most familiar with, which is the fantasy of success, of making it,” Soren says. “But I was just as interested in the way these players had to believe in the fantasy coming true to try to beat the odds.”

Jul 19, 12pm, Free Kepler’s Books, Menlo Park keplers.org

Of the 21 players she photographed, only five made it to the majors. The fates of the others remain scattered across various fields of Little League coaching, selling insurance and coal mining. Some have even struggled with poverty and homelessness.

“Baseball is a powerful metaphor for the American dream,” Soren says.

And the idea echoes throughout her images, taken on and off the field, amid triumph and loss. One photo, Major League Tobacco Bubblegum, shows a dugout floor covered in pink gobs of discarded gum, wrappers and stains of chewing tobacco. The essentials of a player’s daily life are depicted here as a scrapheap of ephemeral objects—like so many farm league dreamers, chewed up and spit out before their time.

In contrast to the deadline-driven and documentarian nature of periodical sports photography, Soren’s images aim to capture more than the thrill of victory and agony of defeat. She also looks for scenes that speak to hope and doubt, affirmation and rejection.

The collection is on display on the ground floor of San Francisco’s City Hall from July 20 to Dec. 15. Soren will also be at Kepler’s Books on Wednesday for a live interview. —Camille Miller

Terminal Beach EVACUATION PLAN The Dunkirk Miracle of World War II gets the Christopher Nolan treatment in ‘Dunkirk.’

Christopher Nolan’s time-bending WWII epic ‘Dunkirk’ delivers

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

T

HINK OF THE different battlefronts in World War II. Now choose the one you are the gladdest that you missed.

The Golden Staircase in New Guinea? Saipan? The Ruhr cities under the RAF night bombing missions, or the London blitz? That great engineer of cage-rattling cinema, Christopher Nolan convinces you that Dunkirk ought to be way up on the list.

On the cusp of May and June 1940, some 400,00 troops of the

British Expeditionary Front were pushed to the sea at the resort town of Dunkirk, France, by the sudden collapse of the French army. A character here describes the soldiers, lined up and waiting to be ferried back home, as “fish in a barrel.” It’s more like the machine-gunning of a sardine can. Strafing planes and dive bombers decimated the crowd waiting for rescue.

Nolan makes up a triptych with war’s relativity—time stretching or standing still in the presence of death. It’s one hour with a patrolling Spitfire pilot called Farrier (Tom Hardy, muffled with an oxygen mask—Nolan masked him again, after The Dark Knight Rises). We spend one day with Mr. Dawson (Mark Rylance), the captain of

the pleasure boat The Moonstone, wearing a sweater and tie into the war zone, just one of that motley armada of seacraft requisitioned by the Royal Navy. And we spend a week with some nigh-mute soldiers (Fionn Whitehead, Harry Styles and Damien Bonnard) who have an unspoken compact to escape together. In different combos, these soldiers pose as medics, and then they survive one shipwreck, then another, and then another. Part of their traumatic journey is spent hiding in a ship, waiting for the tide to rise as bullets burst through the bulkheads—it’s as much of a wringer as the scene in Das Boot when the water pressure blew the rivets out like .45 slugs.

If it’s less cohesive than the James Ensor-worthy horror carnival in Atonement (2008), Dunkirk is an ordeal in which every facet is stomachturning with tension. Nolan’s borrowing from Hitchcock is a series of studies of the cornfield scene in

North By Northwest, with a plane’s machine guns taking your measure as they wheel and descend. Hans Zimmer’s slow rumblings—often drowning out the dialogue—winch up the nerves. Hoyte van Hoytema’s photography is an eerie blue-white palette that looks like the afterlife has already begun. The depth of field is especially powerful in the scenes of Farrier’s pursuit of the Luftwaffe planes. I can’t recall a WWII flying spectacle cut with such power. We get claustrophobic in a cockpit, as Farrier tries to reckon his remaining fuel with a smashed gas-gauge. It all seems so uncertain: the gilded flicker of the gun sight’s spiked circlet when the sun strikes it, the frustration of shooting and shooting and not striking.

Nolan said he favors action over character, here; in this situation where fleeing or standing fast give you the same slim chances, it’s a movie about who will survive. Rylance gives the most performance with the least material; facing danger on both legs of the trip after he picks up an unstable lone survivor (Cillian Murphy, billed as “Shivering Soldier”). Dawson has the sort of bravery that’s a close kin to shock. At the end, when he wordlessly nods at an obituary in the local paper, one judges that this nod is as much as he will ever say about the war for the rest of his life. Kenneth Branagh, hired for our memories of Henry V, glowers at the horizon line, but there’s little payoff.

He ends up playing a war memorial, really, when the film commences its fulsomely elegiac last stage.

Dunkirk misses the grim humor in Len Deighton’s histories of the war, or some other indication of how the Dunkirk Miracle proves the importance of being lucky over being smart. Churchill propagandized a humiliating retreat as a brave regrouping, in one of his noblest speeches—his words are read aloud haltingly from a newspaper at the end of the movie. Our last shot of a survivor’s look of wonder, realizing the size of the feat. One could just as easily have finished with a caption: “And then, the war began in earnest.”

Hand Crafted BEN BY DESIGN San Jose-based musician and graphic artist Ben Henderson is happy to see a return to hand-crafted artisanship.

Ben Henderson invests in downtown SJ, opens for Blues Traveler

BY NICK VERONIN

F

ANS OF BEN Henderson might be surprised to learn that the softspoken graphic artist and musician has a soft spot for one of the most critically derided sub-genres of the past 20 years: rap-rock.

“There was a lot of potential there,” Henderson says with a wry smile, though it doesn’t seem like he’s kidding. The San Jose native goes on to explain, recalling an early and formative musical experience from his youth—the time he saw Salmon play Music in the Park.

Looking back, Henderson recalls how he and his best friend—both of whom started playing together in their teens—would take mental notes whenever they went to shows. And then one day it really clicked.

“We’d go see other bands and be like, ‘We could do that,’” he says. “But then when we saw Salmon we were like, ‘Whoa. Those guys are legit.’”

Henderson remembers being mesmerized by the Gilroy-spawned rap-rock quartet. “I just remember the singer and the guitar player flinging themselves across the stage with dreadlocks and braids,” he says.

“It was awesome.”

Of course, Henderson didn’t go on to find success mashing up hip-hop beats and nü-metal riffs. The singer and multi-instrumentalist first earned

a following fronting the funk-soul outfit Good Hustle before paring down his sound in the indie-acoustic duo Brother Grand.

These days, he’s striking out on his own—with a little help from his friends. Henderson will open for Blues Traveler this Thursday at Music in the Park.

Billed as Ben Henderson & Friends, he will take the stage with members of Good Hustle as well as David Knight—who many South Bay altrock fans will remember as the former singer and guitarist for Day One Symphony. After the show, the crew will move their gear over to Forager in the SoFA District for the third installment of Henderson’s monthlong residency at the recently opened venue. That show starts at 9pm.

At this point, Henderson says his only real ambition with music is to keep doing it and to have fun in the process. “I have no long-term goals with my music in particular except just to keep writing songs like I

always do and to play them whenever I feel like it,” he says.

That’s not to say he is backing away from creating. In fact, in recent years Henderson has doubled down on his visual art. In the process he has become one of the most visible graphic designers and sign-makers in downtown San Jose.

His hand-painted handiwork can be seen in the street-facing mural at Good Karma Artisan Ales & Café, the logo for Café Stritch, the mural inside Be the Change Yoga, and the signage above Second Story Bake Shop and Park Station Hashery. He also painted many of the signs inside the San Pedro Square Market—Crewners, Little Chef, Robee’s Falafel, and Market Beer Co., to name a few. Henderson is even responsible for the “no smoking” and “trash” and “no alcohol beyond this point” placards.

“It’s all really glamorous,” he jokingly deflects.

But it’s hard to deny Henderson’s ingenuity. In addition to designing and hand-painting logos and murals all over downtown, he also created the threedimensional sign hanging above Five Points on Santa Clara Street, which includes what resembles the large hilt of a knife plunging into the façade.

Henderson is part of a resurgent movement in design, which favors handcrafted artisanship over machineproduced uniformity. And while he notes that exposed bricks, distressed wooden beams and wrought iron fittings are “trendy,” it’s a trend he’s happy to be a part of—especially as someone who grew up surrounded by the sprawling beige of strip malls and vinyl printed signs.

“Things got cheap and ugly for decades,” he says. “All the signs and artwork and advertisements that you see out in world are made out of plastic and lights and stuff like that. As those cheap technologies proliferated, the hand-painted, handmade, handcarved, hand-whatever went away. So, now that we’re older and we’re just inundated with all that cheap stuff we’ve seen for years, I think that when it comes to food, art, music, we all look back romantically when things were handmade or hand-painted.”

SHARP PSYCH The Seeds, an early garage-psych quartet out of L.A., dressed well and inspired Iggy Pop.

Ready, Set, Grow SOME WILL REMEMBER The Seeds as the one-hit AM radio wonders responsible for “Pushin’ Too Hard,” a 1966 pop song about a girl who needs to back off. The tune is thick with the political anxieties of the time and in his new documentary, The Seeds: Pushin’ Too Hard, director Neil Norman attempts to demonstrate that The Seeds are much more than this one tune.

Collecting interviews from original band members and those who remember the group—including Iggy Pop—Norman explores The Seeds’ forays into psychedelia and the blues recorded with Muddy Waters’ band.

But Norman has a second aim: to honor the legacy of Crescendo Records, an independent label founded by his father, Gene Norman. Crescendo is still releasing collections and archival LPs of The Seeds.

Norman will be on hand at Streetlight Records ‘The Seeds: Pushin’ for an official screening of his rockumenary at Too Hard’ Camera 3 in San Jose on Monday.

Sources for Pushin’ Too Hard include Norman’s old friend Kim Fowley of The Runaways, Mountain View-raised radio jock Rodney Bingenheimer, Johnny Echols of the band Love, and Iggy, who recalls that The Seeds’ urgent, gravelly sound “gave hope to a simple young musician.”

Jul 24, 7pm, $15 Camera 3, San Jose gnpcrescendo.com/pth

Norman films a rare reunion of The Seeds’ core, guitarist Jan Savage and the classically trained keyboardist Daryl Hooper. One way to describe The Seeds is as a quartet that sounds like a quintet. Hooper held down the bass end of the bass-guitar-free band on his distorted electric Wurlitzer. Drummer Rick Andridge, who died in 2011, phones in his memories. Norman confides that Andridge “later lost his marbles … but he could still play the drums anyway.”

Missing in action is lead vocalist Sky Saxon. Born Richard Marsh and raised Mormon, the rock star had planned to become a deacon. He moved to L.A., changed his name, and rode a short-lived wave of success.

A casualty of LSD, Saxon traded away his songbook for an airline ticket to Hawaii to join his religious commune, The Source Family. Saxon did get a second act at last, touring as a revival act before his death in 2009.

Now it’s Norman who is on tour with his film, from Seattle to Brooklyn. He’s particularly pleased to make it to Silicon Valley, because of his gratitude for a handy iPhone that caught footage of the revived Seeds when a camera on scene failed. —Richard von Busack

Most people will tell you they want to be accepted for who they really are—yet those doing online dating rarely post profiles with stuff like “I like long walks on the beach, fine dining, and obscenely large breasts.” In light of this, sites using these compatibility “algorithms” would seem to have some added value. However, according to a massive online dating analysis by social psychologist Eli Finkel and his colleagues, this algorithm stuff mainly seems to be a “science!”-flavored marketing ploy. The researchers explain that it’s “virtually impossible” for sites to do what they promise with these algorithms: “match people who are uniquely suited to one another” and who are likely to have a “satisfying and lasting long-term relationship” together.

As the Finkel team notes about the “uniquely suited” business: The evidence suggests that these algorithms are really no better at rooting out compatible partners than the matching most people already do themselves with sites’ search parameters— culling the herd of breathing, profileposting humans down to, say, fellow Ph.D.s who are also weekend Satan worshippers. (“Shall we meet at the Starbucks by your office, or are you up for an afternoon of ritual goat slaughter?”)

Even more outrageous is the sites’ claim that this mathematical alchemy can identify two people who can have a lasting, happy relationship together who have yet to even meet. The researchers point out that the algorithms only measure the “individual characteristics of partners” (personality, attitudes, values, background).

They note that this is just one of three essential variables that determine whether relationships sink or swim.

The other two are elements that can’t really be sussed out before two people are in a relationship. One is the “circumstances surrounding (a) couple”—like how they fit into each other’s family and whether one loses their job or goes through other major stressors. The other factor is the “interactions between the partners”—how partners communicate, solve problems, and support each other.

I would add an essential fourth factor that needs to be assessed face to face—

physical attraction. So, regarding those “29 dimensions of compatibility!” that one site advertises, consider, if you will, 30 and 31: discovering “this must be what dead bodies smell like when the detectives cover their nose with a hanky on TV” and “I’m as sexually attracted to you as I am to a stalk of wheat.” There’s also the “garbage in, garbage out” problem (statisticians’ shorthand for how poor-quality input leads to poor-quality output). It’s unlikely people are any more honest and accurate in filling out these questionnaires than they are in their online dating profiles.

Typically, deception in online dating profiles is intentional; sometimes -- as research on personality finds—we can’t quite see ourselves as we really are. For example, take an item on one of these sites’ compatibility surveys: “I try to accommodate the other person’s position.”

There are seven little circles on a scale to blacken in, from “not at all” to “very well.” Well, OK, but do control freaks always understand that they’re control freaks? Sometimes somebody seriously controlling might fill in “very well” on “I try to accommodate…” simply because they see themselves in the best light—instead of the actual light: “I’m Stalin—though I’ve never been able to grow much of a mustache.”

Probably the best that can be said about these personality questionnaires is that they might lead you into a little helpful introspection. But otherwise, these tests seem as pointless.

This isn’t to knock online dating itself, which offers really rapid, easy access to a lot of potential partners whom you’d probably never meet otherwise.

However, it helps to have a smart strategy vis-a-vis the potential pitfalls, and that’s meeting any person you think might be a possibility ASAP (before you have any long, bond-y text-athons).

Meeting pronto gives you the best shot at seeing whether you click, as well as spotting any vast differences between profile and reality. And as I always advise about first dates, keep it cheap, short, and local. Less investment means less disappointment if you find out a guy’s lying.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Greek word

philokalia is translated as the "love of the beautiful, the exalted, the excellent." I propose that we make it your keyword for the next three weeks—the theme you keep at the forefront of your awareness everywhere you go. But think a while before you say yes to my invitation. To commit yourself to being so relentlessly in quest of the sublime would be a demanding job. Are you truly prepared to adjust to the poignant sweetness that might stream into your life as a result?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It's a favorable time

to strengthen your fundamentals and stabilize your foundation. I invite you to devote your finest intelligence and grittiest determination to this project. How? Draw deeply from your roots. Tap into the mother lode of inspiration that never fails you. Nurture the web of life that nurtures you. The cosmos will offer you lots of help and inspiration whenever you attend to these practical and sacred matters. Best-case scenario: You will bolster your personal power for many months to come.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Two talking porcupines

are enjoying an erotic tryst in a cactus garden. It's a prickly experience, but that's how they like it. "I always get horny when things get thorny," says one. Meanwhile, in the rose garden next door, two unicorns wearing crowns of thorns snuggle and nuzzle as they receive acupuncture from a swarm of helpful hornets. One of the unicorns murmurs, "This is the sharpest pleasure I've ever known." Now here's the moral of these far-out fables, Gemini: Are you ready to gamble on a cagey and exuberant ramble through the brambles? Are you curious about the healing that might become available if you explore the edgy frontiers of gusto?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I predict that four weeks from now you will be enjoying a modest but hearty feeling of accomplishment—on one condition: You must not get diverted by the temptation to achieve trivial successes. In other words, I hope you focus on one or two big projects, not lots of small ones. What do I mean by "big projects"? How about these: taming your fears; delivering a delicate message that frees you from an onerous burden; clarifying your relationship with work; and improving your ability to have the money you need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Spain's most revered mystic poet was St. John of the Cross, who lived from 1542 to 1591. He went through a hard time at age 35, when he was kidnapped by a rival religious sect and imprisoned in a cramped cell. Now and then he was provided with scraps of bread and dried fish, but he almost starved to death. After ten months, he managed to escape and make his way to a convent that gave him sanctuary. For his first meal, the nuns served him warm pears with cinnamon. I reckon that you'll soon be celebrating your own version of a jailbreak, Leo. It'll be less drastic and more metaphorical than St. John's, but still a notable accomplishment. To celebrate, I invite you to enjoy a ritual meal of warm pears with cinnamon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "I'm very attracted to

things that I can't define," says Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons. I'd love for you to adopt that attitude, Virgo. You're entering the Season of Generous Mystery. It will be a time when you can generate good fortune for yourself by being eager to get your expectations overturned and your mind blown. Transformative opportunities will coalesce as you simmer in the influence of enigmas and anomalies. Meditate on the advice of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke: "I want to beg you to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves."

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I've compiled a list of four mantras for you to draw strength from. They're designed to put you in the proper alignment to take maximum advantage of current cosmic rhythms.

For the next three weeks, say them periodically throughout the day. 1. "I want to give the gifts I like to give rather than the gifts I'm supposed to give." 2. "If I can't do things with excellence and integrity, I won't do them at all." 3. "I intend to run on the fuel of my own deepest zeal, not on the fuel of someone else's

passions." 4. "My joy comes as much from doing my beautiful best as from pleasing other people."

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The world will never

fully know or appreciate the nature of your heroic journey. Even the people who love you the most will only ever understand a portion of your epic quest to become your best self. That's why it's important for you to be generous in giving yourself credit for all you have accomplished up until now and will accomplish in the future. Take time to marvel at the majesty and miracle of the life you have created for yourself. Celebrate the struggles you've weathered and the liberations you've initiated. Shout "Glory hallelujah!" as you acknowledge your persistence and resourcefulness. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to do this tricky but fun work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I suspect you

may have drug-like effects on people in the coming weeks. Which drugs? At various times, your impact could resemble cognac, magic mushrooms, and Ecstasy—or sometimes all three simultaneously.

What will you do with all that power to kill pain and alter moods and expand minds? Here's one possibility: Get people excited about what you're excited about, and call on them to help you bring your dreams to a higher stage of development. Here's another: Round up the support you need to transform any status quo that's boring or unproductive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): "Everything

that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." So said psychologist Carl Jung. What the hell did that meddling, selfimportant know-it-all mean by that? Oops. Sorry to sound annoyed. My cranky reaction may mean I'm defensive about the possibility that I'm sometimes a bit preachy myself. Maybe I don't like an authority figure wagging his finger in my face because I'm suspicious of my own tendency to do that. Hmmm.

Should I therefore refrain from giving you the advice I'd planned to? I guess not. Listen carefully, Capricorn: Monitor the people and situations that irritate you. They'll serve as mirrors. They'll show you unripe aspects of yourself that may need adjustment or healing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A source of tough and tender inspiration seems to be losing some of its signature potency. It has served you well. It has given you many gifts, some difficult and some full of grace.

But now I think you will benefit from transforming your relationship with its influence. As you might imagine, this pivotal moment will be best navigated with a clean, fresh, open attitude. That's why you'll be wise to thoroughly wash your own brain—not begrudgingly, but with gleeful determination. For even better results, wash your heart, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A "power animal" is

a creature selected as a symbolic ally by a person who hopes to imitate or resonate with its strengths.

The salmon or hare might be a good choice if you're seeking to stimulate your fertility, for example.

If you aspire to cultivate elegant wildness, you might choose an eagle or horse. For your use in the coming months, I propose a variation on this theme: the "power fruit." From now until at least May 2018, your power fruit should be the ripe strawberry.

Why? Because this will be a time when you'll be naturally sweet, not artificially so; when you will be juicy, but not dripping all over everything; when you will be compact and concentrated, not bloated and bursting at the seams; and when you should be plucked by hand, never mechanically.

ID THEFT Pop singer Satinder Sartaaj plays Duleep Singh, the last Sikh king.

‘The Black Prince’ brings attention to tragic story of Duleep Singh

BY GARY SINGH

Y

OU DON’T HAVE to be a forcibly exiled maharajah longing for his original country to identify with The Black Prince, a vivid historical film opening this weekend.

Written and directed by Kavi Raz and based on the true story of Maharajah Duleep Singh, the last king of Punjab before it was annexed by the British Empire, The Black Prince illuminates a tragic tale often hidden from the mainstream histories of South Asia.

In 1843, at the age of 5, Duleep Singh ascended to the throne of

Punjab, a.k.a. the Sikh Empire, and even survived an attempt on his life.

Over the next few years, the British began to set their sights on Punjab, the last remaining piece of Northern India not under their subjugation.

When assassinations and infighting began to destabilize the Sikh throne, the British separated the maharajah from his mother and forced him into guardianship with Dr. John Login, who in due time helped convert Duleep to Christianity—all to help ensure he would never reclaim his rightful place as inheritor of the Sikh Empire. They replaced his spiritual identity and exiled him to the U.K., where they placated him with a lavish palace lifestyle including loads of new fortunes and possessions.

Duleep then became what biographer Peter Bance referred to as “an exotic party accessory” in Queen Victoria's crowd and grew up with a confused concept of his own history and who he once was, as a person. As far as the British thugs were concerned, Duleep was now a Christian and thus on his way to salvation. As part of the spiritual identity theft, the British even suckered Duleep out of the famous Koh-i-Noor diamond, which had been in his family's possession for decades.

Raz, the director, first infiltrated mainstream American audiences back in the ’80s on the hit show St. Elsewhere, where he became the first South Asian regular on a major network drama.

More recently, Raz felt deeply drawn to Duleep Singh’s tragic story and committed himself with total abandon to assembling an authentic cast to enliven the epic story.

As a result, Satinder Sartaaj, normally a Punjabi pop singer, made his acting debut as Maharajah Duleep Singh.

Royal Pain

From the beginning moments, we see the isolation, introversion, emotional distance and overall confusion of growing up in England. He is struggling to find his real self and his spiritual well. Flashbacks and violent trauma undermine his existence. We feel the pain and suffering straight from his perspective—a view not emphasized in the previous books on Duleep’s life.

Especially convincing is veteran actress Shabana Azmi, who plays Duleep’s mother, Rani Jindan. She nails the role, capturing a strong, sarcastic, spiritual, and warrior-like woman whose only son and kingdom were looted by the British. Her performance is one of the highlights of the film. Azmi’s task is to make Duleep realize he is a Sikh, not a force-converted Christian. He was born a king and should return to Punjab and claim what is rightfully his.

When she comes to England with that task at hand, the interplay between her, Queen Victoria and Dr. Login is priceless.

Understated tension drips off the screen.

From there, we see that even the wily, violent British annexation of Punjab and the treacherous displacement of Duleep was not something the God-fearing Victoria could completely write off. She and Login both carry great affection for the maharajah but struggle to reconcile their Christian faith with what their country has done to him. To that degree, in trying to evoke sympathy for the queen and Login, the film almost gives them too much credit, as if their inner struggle was somehow equal to a child being robbed of his entire identity.

In any event, Sikhs will feel especially proud that a well-done version of Duleep’s tragic story finally appears on the mainstream screen. When Duleep grew older, he at least tried to assemble an international coalition of those who already hated the British— people from Ireland, Russia, France and other parts of South Asia—to spearhead a now forgotten attempt at winning independence for India.

Unfortunately, thanks to the old standbys of treason, double agents and spies, he was unsuccessful.

HE TOOLS AN artist chooses can be a very personal decision. While most pick traditional instruments (e.g. guitar, paintbrush or pen), some pick more unorthodox options. Art Campos’ tools consists of wood, smoke, spices and meat—lots and lots of meat.

What he does might sound like a straightforward cookout, but anyone who’s tried to smoke a piece of meat for hours can understand that Campos is an artist. After five years of running his catering business, The ART of BBQ (TAOB), as well as holding down a full-time job, Campos decided to go all-in and open up a restaurant.

“We catered to over 35,000 people last year alone, and we knew then that we needed to give this to the people,” he says. “They ask for it every single time we cater. And now they get the Pit Stop.”

TAOB Pit Stop opened in early June and already has drawn quite a following—despite being somewhat hidden in a large strip mall.

When asked if he’s worried about the odd location, he nods toward the packed house with a wry smile. “Not really,” he says.

The Pit Stop features an array of smoked meats—St. Louis ribs, chicken, tritip, pulled pork, hot links—as well as grilled Portobello mushrooms to appease the veg-heads. I suggest fighting the urge to go straight to the meat. Appetizers such as Mama’s Mac & Cheese Bombs ($5.95 for two) and Bacon Jalapeño Poppers (aka Wolf Turds, $6.95 for three) are both fabulous. The bombs are deep-fried balls of mac & cheese, while the poppers are bacon-wrapped jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese. Need I go on?

As usual when visiting a new BBQ joint, I ordered a sampler plate—known here as the Trifecta Combo ($20.95/three meats) or the Tasty Combo ($15.95/ two meats). While all the meats were good, I give an edge to the chicken, tritip and ribs. The chicken was amazingly juicy, and the spice rub was on point.

The tri-tip came out medium-rare and had a nice grilled char to make the mouth water. The St. Louis ribs were the definition of fall-off-the-bone tender, and they had a terrific smoky flavor despite being cooked for less than four hours. The mix of oak and mesquite that Campos uses is one of the strongest wood combos I’ve heard of, and it really penetrates the meat.

As noted, TAOB has especially strong sides, with the grilled mushrooms topping the list. The au jus they serve the mushrooms in was fabulous, and it was made even more delicious when dunking pieces of tri-tip.

Art can be subjective, but good barbecue can reach consensus. While the Pit Stop might not be The Louvre, it’s an exhibition worth visiting. —John Dyke TAOB PIT STOP 484 Blossom Hill Rd, San Jose. 669.234.7377
