I understand why, as parents, you were concerned about me moving in with my boyfriend.

I was the last kid out of the house and I guess you hoped that I’d find a place of my own instead of “shacking up” with someone in my early 20s.

What I didn’t realize was that your “concern” was linked to the color of my partner’s skin.

But you, dad—you straight up admitted as much in a racist rant when I swung by your house for a quick visit.

With my boyfriend standing right beside me, you laid into us about “living in sin” and the horrors of unplanned pregnancy (even though I most definitely am not pregnant) and had the gall to spew some factoid about how “40 percent of abortions are in the black community.” Oh, really? It sounds like you’re 100 percent racist, which means there’s a 0 percent chance of me visiting you ever again.

THE FLY

Green to Go New details have emerged regarding a 910-unit senior home development in the Evergreen foothills, which is being billed by wealthy developers CARL BERG and CHOP KEENAN as a shot in the arm for housing San Jose seniors and veterans at affordable prices. Mayor SAM LICCARDO adamantly opposes the project, as well as the developers’ effort to go to voters next June and change land-use regulations for the property from industrial to residential.

The city says the services necessary for such a project will drain local coffers. Calling it a “proposal for billionaire developers to build housing for millionaires,” Liccardo’s staff has been sifting through plans for the development and it appears some clever language has been inserted regarding traffic impact exemptions and requirements to house veterans. Liccardo also tells Fly that the project is hardly affordable considering it has the option of creating “a gated community” with private streets that separate the more expensive homes from the affordable options. “This is fundamentally a gated community built for those affluent enough to afford it,” the mayor says.

They A while back, Liccardo Did apparently tried to convince Berg to sell the What? property to Competitive SEND TIPS TO Power Ventures (CPV), a FLY@ company based in San METRONEWS. Francisco that relies on COM offshore funding. Rather than a senior housing development—which could include a pickleball court!—Liccardo wanted Berg to sell the land so CPV could create a science park to go along with an university that might include housing for students and faculty. “Yes, the term UC San Jose was one of many other concepts that we considered,” Liccardo says. Berg was unmoved, and now we’re looking at a costly election fight that could have implications for other greenbelt development around San Jose. A source close to the developer community suggested that the “Evergreen Senior Homes Initiative” and Berg could also become a thorn in Liccardo’s side as he seeks re-election. “At the end of the day, if you’re a billionaire you probably don’t mind throwing a few million at the measure,” the source says. The mayor laughed off the threat of a deep-pocketed foe potentially funding a challenger. “The good news,” Liccardo says, “is I can always go and get another job and my wife would be thrilled.”

Go for Brokers LONE NO San Jose Councilman Don Rocha cast the dissenting vote in the 10-1 tally to begin negotiations with Google on a massive downtown office complex.

Pricey mistakes, transparency issues color San Jose-Google negotiations

BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

S

AN JOSE LARGELY rebuilt its downtown by shelling out lavish, risky subsidies. From the 1980s on, the city lured developers to its hollowed-out center with cash incentives—$38 million to the Fairmont, $19 million to the Hilton and $35 million to Adobe Systems.

As prophesied by regional business coalitions, wealth proliferated in the aspiring tech capital. Cisco, eBay, PayPal and other corporate powerhouses attracted a burgeoning influx of educated, well-heeled consumers. Percapita incomes rose. Public revenue

gutted by California’s tax revolt of the 1970s got a much-needed boost, which allowed local governments to invest in a new light rail system, a sports arena and other public infrastructure. But prosperity was less evenly distributed than predicted by business boosters.

San Jose’s economic ascent came with declining wages, a growing wealth gap and skyrocketing housing costs. Thus, Google’s tentative plans to root itself in San Jose’s core have understandably inspired polarized reactions and intense debate about how the city should negotiate over future growth.

With City Manager Norberto Dueñas’ impending retirement and Assistant City Manager Dave Sykes stepping up as his successor, there’s also the question of how the latter will lead the city’s bureaucracy through the anticipated building boom. Meanwhile,

given the way the city structured its agreement with the advertising giant, there’s concern that it limits transparency and democratic input into a development with the potential to fundamentally reshape San Jose.

Of course, the conversation isn’t just about Google, whose proposal would bring an estimated 20,000 new jobs and 2,500 new homes to the city center, but also the inevitable transformation that a project of its size would precipitate.

If one thing is for certain, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo insists, it’s that the city’s costly handouts to corporations are a thing of the past. He says that also goes for Amazon, which recently called on cities to compete for the online retailer’s second headquarters, which would come with a projected $5 billion of investment and 50,000 new jobs. As with any company, Liccardo says, Google will pay a fair price for the city’s share of the land around Diridon train station, the site of the proposed 8 million-square-foot Googleplex.

“We’ve made it clear that we’re not

the process,” she says, “but when you’re talking about a project of this size and with this impact, it’s not early enough.”

Cities hesitate to ask too much, Robinson notes. The fact remains, local officials have to woo multinational corporations that have the ability to take their business elsewhere, which puts cities and states in competition with one another to lower taxes and standards.

At a forum last week hosted by a community coalition to discuss the Google project, many attendees expressed anxiety that urban policy no longer attempts to shape economic growth so much as hew to the market in search of the greatest returns. Debra Watson, founder and director of the California Alliance of African American Educators, told the people at her table that she’s skeptical of Google’s ability to foster equitable growth, considering that the company’s own workforce is made up overwhelmingly of white males, while its low-wage subcontractors are disproportionately people of color. If the community had these discussions when she and her husband came to the region 40 years ago, she says, perhaps Silicon Valley’s present inequalities would be less pronounced.

In a brief address at the start of the forum, downtown Councilman Raul Peralez defended the city’s decision to start negotiations before conducting any public outreach. He also spoke about how Google can help San Jose chart a new course from a history in which the city has failed to capture enough of the region’s wealth to fund core public services.

“We need to learn from the missed opportunities here, but also the way things have turned out in other parts of the region,” Peralez told Metro before the meeting.

“Look at Cupertino and the Apple project, which wasn’t built with the community in mind. We need to be firm and clear about what it is we want in terms of development.”

As Jimenez sees it, San Jose lacks the confidence to ask much of anything from its corporate suitors. He says some of his colleagues consider the city a wallflower that should be grateful if anyone asks to dance.

“But Google came to the dance, they bought tickets, they’re choosing to dance with us,” Jimenez says.

“It takes two. And it shouldn’t be presented as though the city is turning them upside down and shaking every last penny out of them.”

9 SEPTEMBER 27-OCTOBER 3, 2017 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com

offering any subsidies to Google and that they’re going to make the full market price for city-owned land,” Liccardo says. “I want to illustrate that we’ve come a long, long way from the time when we sort of prostrated ourselves at the feet of corporations.”

But to stakeholders and people who live in the shadow of Google’s planned expansion, that the city struck up formal negotiations over land sales without even broaching the subject of community benefits was a missed opportunity. Other major cities—Los Angeles, Oakland and Portland, to name a few—initiated public discussions about community benefits far earlier in the process, according to Community Benefits Law Center director Ben Beach.

“That’s exactly the time to be having this conversation, before the most important transaction in the project,” he says. “Once the city sells the land to Google, it’s going to have a lot less leverage.”

Councilman Don Rocha made that point back in June, when he cast the lone vote against the city’s exclusive talks with the multinational company, saying the city should have at least issued a set of guiding principles from the very beginning. Additionally, he objected to the way the deal was crafted to allow the city manager to extend negotiations for another year without necessarily having to bring it back to the City Council. “My vote against this had nothing to do with Google,” Rocha says. “It was a statement to my colleagues that we could have done this differently.”

Though he commended the mayor for requiring public outreach as it works out a deal with Google, Rocha wanted to take a stronger stance on community benefits by heeding the direction of freshman Councilman Sergio Jimenez, who penned a memo that would have formalized certain expectations at the outset. Jimenez wanted the city to at least consider in its negotiations how Google’s pitch fits into the city’s broader goals of creating sustainable wages, preventing displacement and alleviating the affordability crisis. Although the council killed his motion, Jimenez voted in favor of commencing the negotiations anyway.

Evelyn Robinson, who lives in downtown’s eclectic Delmas Park neighborhood in the path of Google’s planned expansion, says the city should have hosted community forums long before the ongoing negotiations. “I know the city’s saying it’s still early in

CENTER OF ATTENTION Danny O’Regan leads the San Jose Barracuda, but for how long? ANDRÉ JAQUEZ

I

F DANNY O’REGAN comes off as hungry, it’s because the Sharks have been rationing his tastes of the NHL, teasing the center since drafting him in 2012.

Earning three appearances for the club to date, O’Regan hopes to finally take the next step in his career. The early results have been promising.

Suiting up for the Sharks this preseason, O’Regan slotted a goal top-right corner in a shutout win over the Anaheim Ducks.

Named the American Hockey League’s 2017 Rookie of the Year, O’Regan—leader of the San Jose Barracuda, the Sharks’ minor league affiliate—is known for his relentless knack for hitting the back of the net. He scored 23 goals last season, highest among all rookies, and led the Barracuda to their first division championship on the way to the Western Finals, where they fell short to the eventual 2017 AHL Champions, the Grand Rapids Griffins.

O’Regan’s ascendance has coincided with an evolving league.

Listed at 5-foot-10 and 176 pounds, he fits a new mold of undersized yet lighting quick players such as Tyler Johnson of Tampa Bay, Johnny Gaudreau of Calgary, Cam Atkinson

Danny O’Regan is poised for a breakout campaign for the San Jose Barracuda, but he also has sights on a Sharks roster spot.

Truth is, O’Regan has never played down to his size. And his stature ice. “He’s been only grows when accounting for the great throughout massive chip on his shoulder, earned the years,” through a life of competing.

O’Regan says.

Which former Sharks player is a part owner of the Britannia Arms in downtown San Jose?

Datsyuk of the Red Wings. “He’s just magic with his hands,” O’Regan says. “He does crazy, creative stuff.”

Despite his record-breaking career at BU, O’Regan waited until the third round of the 2012 draft to hear his name called by the Sharks. As it turns out, he was already a fan of the team and even owned a pair of jerseys when he was younger. He’s come a long way since first suiting up for the Barracuda as a developing player, but his mindset hasn’t changed.

Thanks to mentors like Mike Ricci, a former Sharks center turned development coach, as well as coaches Roy Sommer and Ryan Mougenel,

There’s no better bang for the buck than spending a little quality time at a Barracuda game. Tickets for San Jose’s up-and-coming AHL hockey team start at just $7. That’s a cheap date to test the waters before “splurging” on a Sharks game, but it’s also an excellent option for families on a budget. (And if the kids are young enough, just tell them it’s the Sharks on the ice—they won’t know the difference.) Check out the Frenzy’s Fun Zone by playing a little slapshot, or enjoy a beer or two—after all, they’re only about $3. As far as food options, prices are also exceedingly affordable, so grab some hot nachos or a fresh pretzel. Like any minor league team worth their salt, the Barracuda also specialize in special giveaways and theme nights.

and attacking style. Yueill didn’t see much action at the start of the season, but he’s come on strong of late and is projected to be in the starting lineup against D.C. United.

“The transition to the pros has been a good step for me,” Yueill says. “Everyone is stronger, faster and smarter, and the consistency is what really makes it tough. At the professional level, you have to show up 100 percent in every practice and in every game. That’s a big challenge both physically and mentally, especially over the grind of a long season.”

Since teams in the MLS play matches once or twice a week, there’s plenty of down time for the players. In a typical week, games are played on Saturday, with the rest of the week consisting of practices, strength-training sessions and conditioning. Yueill fills a lot of that down time gaming.

“I enjoy playing a lot of video games,” he says. “I don’t go to the beach all that much or do all these extra things outside of my house.

When I was in college, a lot of my down time was spent studying. Now that I’m not in school, I’m playing video games.”

Lima couldn’t have asked for much more than playing and living where all of his family members reside. Becoming a pro soccer player was in the works from his earliest days, as Lima started kicking and throwing soccer balls at the age of 3.

“My parents didn’t have to introduce me to the sport because I picked it up on my own,” he says.

What began as a college rivalry has since developed into a close friendship as teammates, and Yueill still remembers the first time the two squared off.

“I had possession of the ball and thought I could dribble past him,” he says, “but I didn’t realize how fast he was, and he caught up to me. I couldn’t believe it.”

Both players have plans for the offseason, but for now the only concern is extending the current one and making the playoffs.

“Hopefully we can extend the season and make our offseason a shorter one,” Lima says.

TIX TALK The way Avaya Stadium was constructed—with steep-raked, single-deck bowl seating—there literally isn’t a bad seat in the house, and ticket prices are a downright bargain. Prices start at $19, which is the lowest of any major pro sports franchise in the Bay Area.

Aside from the action on the pitch, Avaya’s other draw is the nation’s longest outdoor bar, situated just beyond the northeast goal with no netting to protect a ball from striking a spectator—or gasp!—a beer tap. The Quakes run a lot of cool promotions with partner TCL, where a fan—upon retrieving a ball kicked into the bar—will win a free TV. Quakes media relations manager Jake Pisani says that usually happens once a game. Signature food items include BBQ pulled pork/brisket mac n’ cheese, Asian chicken wrap, grilled big dog—a 10-inch beef all hot dog with grilled peppers and onions, sauerkraut and mustard—Portobello sliders and a vegan pizza that might even satisfy the most selective of palates. The pizza features a crust topped with roasted squash puree, hummus, fennel, mushrooms, onions and herbs, a flavorful combination bomb that might make a ravenous carnivore think twice about going all meaty. There is also an eclectic food truck scene during Quakes games, including BBQ Kalbi (Asian BBQ), Twisted Chill (gourmet ice cream), and several Italian and Mexican food trucks. Expect to pay around $10 for a pint of beer, $10 for nachos and you’ll need to reach a little deeper into the pockets for the aforementioned gourmet items.

Spurs, then a quick six points in just 12 minutes of Game 5 of the Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

McCaw called winning the championship in his first season an “unbelievable” feeling he’s still savoring.

A rookie that’s already achieved the highest level of success could tend toward complacency, but David West, a veteran who spent 13 seasons seeking the promised land, reinforced the need for taking the victory in stride.

“My whole thing with Pat was just relish the moment,” West says.

“Obviously, he’s got a bright future. He’s a super-talented kid, super-humble kid.

So [I told him] maintain that humility, always be coachable. The basics.”

West’s advice may be a little cliche, but humility, constant improvement and living in the moment are frequent mantras for athletes whose success results from deliberately instilled habits.

Over the next two years, McCaw’s development will be crucial for the Warriors (assuming they can re-sign him after he becomes a restricted free agent next summer). When All-Star guard Klay Thompson’s contract expires in 2019, he will likely be worth more than even the savvy Warriors can afford.

Until then, McCaw appears eager to build on what he learned last season.

“I feel like a rookie still,” he says.

“I feel like I have a lot of things to prove. I just want to continue getting better, and learn from these guys and take advantage of the opportunity that I’ve been given.”

TIX TALK We were going to make a guide as to how a Silicon Valley resident could orchestrate a semi-affordable date or family night to watch the Warriors at Oracle Arena. But considering nosebleeds routinely run more than $100 a pop and someone paid $133,000 for two courtside seats during last year’s finals, Metro has no advice except to throw down a mint or befriend the wealthy.

OR ANYONE WITH a friend who stills refers to himself as an “athlete,” even though his high school glory days were neither all that glorious nor recent, politely rip out this page and burn it before he sees it. But for those who want the camaraderie of a team environment, the casual thrill of competition or simple exertion in the outdoors, here’s a sampling of some of the best local sports and activities for people playing the part.

BASEBALL

CLIMBING

Who wants to have a catch with dad? That’s possible with the Silicon Valley Adult Baseball League, which accepts full squads as well as free agents. After two decades of existence, the league gives ballplayers who can’t give up the diamond a chance to play on real fields with real umps. Seasons usually run eight to 10 weeks during the fall and 20-22 weeks in the summer. svabl.org

The Studio Climbing takes beginners as well as more experienced climbers to the ledge in their indoor studio, located in downtown San Jose. Join a group class or sign up for private lessons, and don’t skip out on the yoga classes. Best of all, Studio takes things at the customer’s pace by offering memberships and single sessions, as well equipment rentals. touchstoneclimbing.com

BOWLING

DYNAMIC SPORT AND SOCIAL CLUB

It’s all good if you don’t roll on Shabbos, dude.

At 4th Street Bowl, competitive, recreational and first-time leagues run every weekday evening. Many are booked up for the winter season, but a few are still taking sign-ups.

Cupertino’s Homestead Bowl also offers league members quite a few perks, like Happy Hour pricing at the X-Bar, free sodas during league games and discounted rates and meals.

4thstreetbowl.com; homesteadbowl.com

Name a sport and these folks probably have a league for it. Create basketball, soccer, softball, flag football, kickball and volleyball leagues with friends and family, or become a free agent and find a new team. There’s even something called “archery tag,” and it’s as terrifyingly awesome as it sounds. dynamicssc.com

ROLLER BLADING/ SKATING Hockey requires technique and skill, but in some cases dry land can also come in handy.

That’s not an issue at Silver Creek Sportsplex, where they offer fall and winter roller hockey leagues, as well as other sports. For those looking for a little different roll bounce, the Silicon Valley Roller Girls have bootcamps for new members to join the league. The bootcamp teaches essential rules and skills to be a Roller Girl. gotoplex.com/sports/rollerhockey; svrollergirls.com

TENNIS Bring the heat to a different kind of court. The San Jose Tennis league runs two seasons of flexible matchups for $25-plus per season.

Join a league and get working on that scream for returning service. tennissanjose.com

THE GREAT OUTDOORS Take a ride with the South Bay Mountain Bike Group, which gets together every week to ride local trails from Redwood City and Palo Alto all the way out to Fremont and Oakland. Hiking through the Bay Area’s many trails also allows for an accompanied adventure. The Outdoor Adventure Club offers guided day hikes for those who want to explore nature.

Known for his unique to Chicago house music, DJ Mark Farina is one of San Francisco’s premier selectors. Since 1989, Farina has continually evolved his sound— which he calls “mushroom jazz”—a toe-tapping, downtempo, fusion of acid jazz and deep house. Originally released on cassettes in 1992, the Mushroom Jazz series has grown to become a cult favorite.

He’s come a long way since, nabbing the No. 1 spot on the Billboard’s dance and electronic chart with his latest installment, Mushroom Jazz Eight in 2016.

From time to time, Farina can play sets up to eight hours and has performed for two different rooms simultaneously. (AJ)

THE NEEDLE DROP: ANTHONY FANTANO Oct 25 at The Ritz

LEGACY OF BHANGRA Sat, 6pm, $21+ Hammer Theatre Center, San Jose The Legacy of Bhangra annual dance competition celebrates the rich culture and history of a traditional form of Indian dance and music that originated in the Punjab region of the subcontinent.

Those unfamiliar with the Bhangra may expect dynamic and energetic choreography that include props, vibrant garments and coordinated rhythmic movements. The routines often tell a story through lyrical dance. Many acclaimed groups, including the Royal Bhangra Girls, Johr Jawani Da, California Folk Bhangra Club, Sonay Gabroo, Punjab De and Nachdi Jawani Waris will compete for first place and bragging rights. (PR)

SALSA FESTIVAL Sat, Noon, Free Courthouse Square, Redwood City There is no such thing as too much salsa. Whether it’s the shimmying rhythm of the musical style, the hip-swivelling steps of the Latin dance or the tangy, tongue-torching tastes of the traditional taco topping, it seems everything can benefit from a little spice. The Salsa Festival returns to downtown Redwood City this weekend for its 10th year.

Naturally, there will be plenty of great music, lively dancing and a whole lot of salsas to sample— from mild to maniacal. In addition to the food and entertainment, there will be tequila flights and kid-friendly activities, so bring the entire familia. (SS)

OKTOBERFEST MOUNTAIN VIEW Sat, 11am, Free Steins Beer Garden, Mountain View Ein Bier bitte! Oktoberfest has arrived, and Silicon Valley is celebrating. Last weekend marked Redwood City’s annual beer bash, and this week it is Mountain View’s turn. The annual event closes out the final days of September at Steins Beer Garden, with musical performances by The Alpiners USA, SF German Band and Big Lou's Accordion Princess.

Oktoberfest is not complete without beers from Munich’s breweries. Suds from Weihenstephaner, Andechs, Paulaner, Steigl, Weltenburger and Hofbrau will all be flowing, as well as special microbrews from the South Bay. Drink tickets will be available at the festival, which runs through Sunday. Prost! (SS)

GARY GRIGGS BOOK SIGNING Sun, 4pm, Free Barnes & Noble Stevens Creek, San Jose

Living close to work is often great for reducing stress. But for UC Santa Cruz earth sciences professor Gary Griggs, it’s a bit of a blessing and a curse. His commute is easy, but getting a frontrow seat to the degradation of California’s coasts and rising sea levels is alarming. He documents his concerns—backed up by 50 years of his own personal research—in his new book, Coasts in Crisis: A Global Challenge. Griggs will speak about his observations, answer questions and sign copies of his new book. (NV)

Meet the Muses HOLD THAT POSE A subject study, ‘Joan Brown with Neri Sculpture I,’ one of the Manuel Neri sketches on display at Stanford’s Anderson Collection.

Manuel Neri exhibit credits the models along with the artist

BY NICK VERONIN

M

ANUEL NERI’S muses are equal partners in Assertion of the Figure, an exhibit of the Bay Area artist’s work at Stanford’s Anderson Collection. He’s primarily known as a figurative sculptor, one who represents the female body.

While the curators aren’t downplaying his talent, they’re also openly crediting Joan Brown, Makiko Nakamura and Mary Julia Klimenko as the inspirations behind the sculptures and paintings on display.

Collectively, the exhibit makes the

argument that a female muse isn’t just a passive subject for the male artist to objectify. Rather, she’s a collaborator. You feel each woman’s presence in the work, side by side with the man who shaped it.

Neri and Nakamura (sometimes referred to as Makiko) met in Carrara, Italy. He established a studio there in order to access marble from those famous quarries. She was the model for Makida III, a large, marble head with unseeing, absent or closed eyes. While her lips and nose are cleanly defined, there are concave, smoothed out spaces where the eyes and ears should be. Neri has applied green and pink paint to accentuate the marble’s natural veins.

These washed-out splashes of color adorn her face as if she’s been marked with aboriginal tattoos. From the back, her hair is made into an impeccably

polished round bun. Makida III is situated in the middle of the gallery and she compels your attention.

The six figures in the ink-on-paper series Japanese Dancer Study (Makiko) are even more cryptic. These midnight black sketches and smudges are inspired by the human form but missing flesh and bones. They’re apparitions returning from some dark place, an unhappiness the artist glimpsed in his model’s expression or profile. Neri isn’t just recreating the shape of Nakamura’s skull or her body’s tremulous outline, he’s depicting the unknowable self, the one that turns the viewer into an estranged outsider.

Several of Neri’s paintings are included in Assertion of the Figure. Some of the watercolors, like the ones in the K.C. series, mimic the visual effect of an oil or acrylic impasto. Brushstrokes collide in violent layers of muddy greens and putrid reds creating silhouettes of anonymous, faceless souls. Joan Brown Seated in Studio 13—a black ink and graphite drawing from 1958— anticipates the central sculpture in the

exhibit. Neri made Joan Brown Seated (1959) out of aluminum and painted her white with yellow glazes, otherwise known as his “alborada patina” (alborada meaning “dawn” in Spanish).

Does knowing that Neri and Brown were married for a time influence the impact or meaning of the work?

The drawing features a more recognizable woman, with a round belly and shoulder-length, stringy dark hair. He gives her a right eye and a nose but then blends the cheek down to the neck without making an attempt to draw in the lines of a mouth or her lips. The sculpture, though, is even more denuded of human features. She has no hair or arms and sits on her pedestal, knees up and almost reaching her naked breasts. Unlike Makida III‘s high-gloss finish, which confers a chilly, divine status on the bust of Nakamura, the woman in Joan Brown Seated sits ravaged by life or fate, or the place where they both converge. Neri leaves the traces of his rasping tool on her body and face so that we can see her scars. She is beautiful, vulnerable and pitiable because we can see the internal damage he’s made visible on the surface of her skin.

Mary Julia Klimenko has been Neri’s model for the better part of four decades. In a 2001 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle the artist said, “Her angularity made my work very sculptural." Here that quality is represented in nine maquettes, the scale models for the larger series Mujer Pegada (Spanish for glued or attached woman). In the series, the body is not separated from the material out of which she’s being carved. If you’d walked into the museum without knowing who the artist was, you might mistake them for artifacts salvaged from an ancient place like the city of Pompeii or the Parthenon.

Neri strands each figure on her own, a stone woman among the ruins. His work strips the specificity away from their particular bodies until they become something else — the muse made solid in plaster, bronze and willowy veins of marble.

metroactive FILM

DR. DOUBT Adele Haenel plays Dr. Jenny Davin, who seeks to identify a nameless dead woman in ‘The Unknown Girl.’

‘The Unknown Girl’ finds tension, empathy in a broken Belgium

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

S

TRANGE HOW A movie will show up, as timely as it can be, right during a crisis.

As the Senate prepares for some drastic surgery on the Affordable Care Act, there’s special relevance to The Unknown Girl—an intriguing study of a selfless, heroic female physician atoning for a life she failed to save.

On one level, the Dardenne Brothers’ new film gives an American audience a look at how the medical system functions in the shabbier part of Belgium. It’s the neighborhood

of Seraing in the city of Liege, the terrain Jean-Paul and Luc Dardenne have carved out for decades. It’s sheer rust-belt, an area of cracked brick walls, canal-like industrial riverbanks and illegal aliens. The directors have compared Seraing to Detroit, but it looks more like Cleveland. You can’t exactly put “it’s a study of Belgian medical practices” on the poster and expect to get an audience in the seats. But Seraing gives background color to the quest of Dr. Jenny Davin (Adele Haenel).

The film opens with the slim, intense Jenny pressing her stethoscope into the back of an aged patient, deducing his problems. Her intern, Julien (Olivier Bonnaud), is instructed on the importance of listening … and so is the audience.

During the rest of the movie, we

must diagnose what’s troubling the characters. After witnessing a kid’s seizure in the clinic’s emergency room, Julien gives up medicine on the spot. Is this because of some sort of off-camera emotional breakup with Jenny, or unrequited love for the good-looking doctor?

Jenny had chastised Julien in the mildest way about the importance of keeping his emotions level, so as not to have his judgment clouded when he’s working with a patient.

But she herself swims in her feelings: tears come to her eyes when a young cancer patient plays a song dedicated to her on his guitar, or when her skills are praised at a doctor’s retirement party.

Jenny turned away a stranger from her office door because it was after hours and the neighborhood has its share of crime. Later, the police check Jenny’s security camera to see if there was any footage of a woman who turned up dead without any identification, killed by a skull fracture. Guilt-stricken

Medical Mystery

because she didn’t open the door to this desperate woman, Jenny determines to help, to try to find the identity of the deceased, so that the dead girl’s relatives can learn that they’ve lost her.

The Dardennes do what they do best: following the characters around, leaving us to figure out the connections. Jenny drives by night alone, doing house calls (they still do that in Belgium); she stops by the home of a diabetic whose feet are in such bad shape that he can’t go downtown and fight social services about their cutbacks. Her office is invaded by junkies trying to get a fast prescription for opiates. One of her patients is an Arab construction worker whose injury got infected because he was afraid to go to the hospital without a legal passport.

Haenel’s steadiness in this part is a joy to watch. She shows us the significant difference between someone being tough and someone being completely tenacious. It’s the the kind of part Ellen Page would do proud, if we made movies like this here.

While it’s action-packed for the Dardennes, The Unknown Girl is not their best work, but that’s as much a metaphysical problem as a failure on their part: there’s no adequate solution to the mystery of the existence of a place like Seraing.

Producers churn out would-be Christian movies, all of them full of bogus magical realism, jackpothitting and wishful thinking. By contrast, these ex-Catholic Dardennes make the most intriguing Christian movies around. They do this simply by indicating the duty to heal and bear witness, at whatever cost to oneself. An example is their 2002 film, The Son, about the decision of a father (Olivier Gourmet) to forgive an unforgivable crime. Here, Jenny’s own detective work is a natural growth from her work as a physician.

While there’s no direct reference to religion, her moral duty is clear. The film opposes the kind of hypocrisy of God-bothering senators, whose greed belies the faith they claim to serve.

Hot History ARRIBA! Spanish Harlem Orchestra play a special 10th anniversary party at this year’s Redwood City Salsa Festival.

The Spanish Harlem Orchestra bring Latin jazz to life in Redwood City

BY BILL KOPP

O

SCAR HERNANDEZ already had a longestablished career and sterling reputation as a musician and arranger when he got a call from Aaron Levinson in 2000. The producer had an idea for a new project, and he was sure Hernandez was the right person to bring the idea to life.

Though much of Hernandez’s work to that point was focused on helping other artists realize their own goals—he had worked with Paul Simon, Kirsty MacColl, Rubén Blades

and many others—Levinson’s concept would place Hernandez front and center. After a series of conversations to refine the concept, the Spanish Harlem Orchestra was born.

SHO would embody the music and culture of New York City’s storied Spanish Harlem, a neighborhood rich in Latino history. But “the idea was just to do a record,” Hernandez says today.

“That’s it; nothing else.” Neither he nor Levinson had any particular goals or aspirations for the project beyond that. And in fact the effort almost never got off the ground.

After Hernandez assembled a band, booked studio time and recorded what would eventually be released as Un Gran Dia en el Barrio, his label, Warner Bros., stalled.

“They put it on the shelf,” Hernandez says. And there it would remain for nearly a year and a half, until Levinson found another label that believed in the album.

Ropeadope Records released the record, and it earned a Grammy nomination. With requests and offers to book live dates, Hernandez realized he would have to put together a touring lineup for his Spanish Harlem Orchestra.

“Here we are fifteen years later,” Hernandez says with pride, “traveling all over the world, won two Grammys, nominated four times.” He describes the mission of Spanish Harlem Orchestra as “something near, dear and precious to my heart: maintaining the history and the legacy of this music.”

Hernandez grew up only a few miles from Spanish Harlem. And the neighborhood was an important part of his youth. “It’s a place where we used to go for social events, to shop for food, and we had family there as

well,” he says. “And later on, I would play in clubs there.”

He credits Levinson with picking the perfect name for the Latin jazz group, one that evokes the history and mystique of the neighborhood.

Once the band took off, Hernandez found that there was much more interest than he had anticipated.

“People were calling from Europe, Scandinavia,” he says. “‘Tell us about Spanish Harlem; we see it depicted in pictures and movies.’ Because it represented a culture, a people.”

The precision and exuberance of Latin jazz is brought to life with Hernandez’s 13-man ensemble. Even on the group’s studio albums—like 2007’s United We Swing—they vividly capture the excitement of live performance by tracking every instrument at once, together as a band.

“If we need to, we’ll fix something later,” Hernandez says. “But we’re recording live. That’s the way it was done back in the day, when I was coming up as a musician in the ’70s.

It was always a natural thing, and I’ve made it a point that all of our records are recorded that way.”

The melodies and rhythms of Spanish Harlem Orchestra’s music evoke the spirit of what Hernandez calls the “big three” bands, led by Machito, Tito Rodriguez and Tito Puente. “They don't take a back seat to Duke Ellington or Count Basie,” Hernandez insists. “The music is just as vital, just as important. I don't spend a lot of time talking onstage, but I do tell the audience a little of that history, and the importance of it.”

While Hernandez knows Englishspeaking audiences don’t always understand the Spanish lyrics, he is always pleased to see them react with great enthusiasm. Despite his broad background in both the pop and jazz worlds, he makes a point of maintaining the integrity of the music as he believes it should be played. “I don't make any concessions,” Hernandez says. “I think it's important to stay true to how I learned it, how the music was handed down to me.”

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Conceptual artist Jonathon Keats likes to play along with the music of nature. On one occasion he collaborated with Mandeville Creek in Montana. He listened and studied the melodies that emanated from its flowing current.

Then he moved around some of the underwater rocks, subtly changing the creek's song. Your assignment, Aries, is to experiment with equally imaginative and exotic collaborations. The coming weeks will be a time when you can make beautiful music together with anyone or anything that tickles your imagination.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Some newspapers

publish regular rectifications of the mistakes they've made in past editions. For example, the editors of the UK publication The Guardian once apologized to readers for a mistaken statement about Richard Wagner. They said that when the 19th-century German composer had trysts with his chambermaid, he did not in fact ask her to wear purple underpants, as previously reported. They were pink underpants. I tell you this, Taurus, as encouragement to engage in corrective meditations yourself. Before bedtime on the next 10 nights, scan the day's events and identify any actions you might have done differently—perhaps with more integrity or focus or creativity. This will have a deeply tonic effect. You are in a phase of your astrological cycle when you'll flourish as you make amendments and revisions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It's high time to allow

your yearnings to overflow . . . to surrender to the vitalizing pleasures of nonrational joy . . . to grant love the permission to bless you and confound you with its unruly truths. For inspiration, read this excerpt of a poem by Caitlyn Siehl. "My love is honey tongue.

Thirsty love. My love is peach juice dripping down the neck. Too much sugar love. Sticky sweet, sticky sweat love. My love can't ride a bike. My love walks everywhere. Wanders through the river. Feeds the fish, skips the stones. Barefoot love. My love stretches itself out on the grass, kisses a nectarine. My love is never waiting. My love is a traveler."

CANCER (June 21-July 22): One of the oldest houses in Northern Europe is called the Knap of Howar. Built out of stone around 3600 B.C., it faces the wild sea on Papa Westray, an island off the northern coast of Scotland. Although no one has lived there for 5,000 years, some of its stone furniture remains intact. Places like this will have a symbolic power for you in the coming weeks, Cancerian. They'll tease your imagination and provoke worthwhile fantasies. Why? Because the past will be calling to you more than usual. The old days and old ways will have secrets to reveal and stories to teach. Listen with alert discernment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The United States has a bizarre system for electing its president. There's nothing like it in any other democratic nation on earth. Every four years, the winning candidate needs only to win the Electoral College, not the popular vote. So theoretically, it's possible to garner just 23 percent of all votes actually cast, and yet still ascend to the most powerful political position in the world.

For example, in two of the last five elections, the new chief of state has received significantly fewer votes than his main competitor. I suspect that you may soon benefit from a comparable anomaly, Leo. You'll be able to claim victory on a technicality. Your effort may be "ugly," yet good enough to succeed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I found this

42011 Boscell Rd. Fremont, CA (510) 979-0477 thesaddlerack.com

advertisement for a workshop: "You will learn to do the INCREDIBLE! Smash bricks with your bare hands! Walk on fiery coals unscathed! Leap safely off a roof! No broken bones! No cuts! No pain!

Accomplish the impossible first! Then everything else will be a breeze!" I bring this to your attention, Virgo, not because I think you should sign up for this class or anything like it. I hope you don't. In fact, a very different approach is preferable for you: I recommend that you start with safe, manageable tasks. Master the simple details and practical actions. Work on achieving easy, low-risk victories.

In this way, you'll prepare yourself for more epic efforts in the future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be realistic, Libra: Demand the impossible; expect inspiration; visualize yourself being able to express yourself more

By ROB BREZSNY week of September 27

completely and vividly than you ever have before.

Believe me when I tell you that you now have extra power to develop your sleeping potentials, and are capable of accomplishing feats that might seem like miracles. You are braver than you know, as sexy as you need to be, and wiser than you were two months ago. I am not exaggerating, nor am I flattering you. It's time for you to start making your move to the next level.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In accordance with

the astrological omens, I invite you to take extra good care of yourself during the next three weeks.

Do whatever it takes to feel safe and protected and resilient. Ask for the support you need, and if the people whose help you solicit can't or won't give it to you, seek elsewhere. Provide your body with more than the usual amount of healthy food, deep sleep, tender touch, and enlivening movement. Go see a psychotherapist or counselor or good listener every single day if you want. And don't you dare apologize or feel guilty for being such a connoisseur of self-respect and self-healing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A queen bee may keep mating until she gathers 70 million sperm from many different drones. When composing my horoscopes, I aim to cultivate a metaphorically comparable receptivity. Long ago I realized that all of creation is speaking to me all the time; I recognized that everyone I encounter is potentially a muse or teacher. If I hope to rustle up the oracles that are precisely suitable for your needs, I have to be alert to the possibility that they may arrive from unexpected directions and surprising sources.

Can you handle being that open to influence, Sagittarius? Now is a favorable time to expand your capacity to be fertilized.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You're

approaching a rendezvous with prime time. Any minute now you could receive an invitation to live up to your hype or fulfill your promises to yourself—or both. This test is likely to involve an edgy challenge that is both fun and daunting, both liberating and exacting. It will have the potential to either steal a bit of your soul or else heal an ache in your soul. To ensure the healing occurs rather than the stealing, do your best to understand why the difficulty and the pleasure are both essential.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1901, physician Duncan MacDougall carried out experiments that led him to conclude that the average human soul weighs 21 grams. Does his claim have any merit?

That question is beyond my level of expertise. But if he was right, then I'm pretty sure your soul has bulked up to at least 42 grams in the past few weeks. The work you've been doing to refine and cultivate your inner state has been heroic. It's like you've been ingesting a healthy version of soulbuilding steroids. Congrats!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There are enough authorities, experts and know-it-alls out there trying to tell you what to think and do. In accordance with current astrological factors, I urge you to utterly ignore them during the next two weeks. And do it gleefully, not angrily. Exult in the power that this declaration of independence gives you to trust your own assessments and heed your own intuitions.

Furthermore, regard your rebellion as good practice for dealing with the little voices in your head that speak for those authorities, experts and know-it-alls.

Rise up and reject their shaming and criticism, too.

Shield yourself from their fearful fantasies.

Good REEDs LONG STORY SHORT Reed Magazine staff had a ball at the 150th anniversary party.

SJSU literary pub Reed Magazine celebrates 150th anniversary

BY GARY SINGH

S

URROUNDED BY multiple dimensions of campus history, San Jose State University’s literary journal, these days known as Reed, celebrated its 150th anniversary with a poignant gala last Friday.

A low-key reception in the Bell Rose Garden preceded readings and speeches in Morris Dailey Auditorium, followed by a champagne finale, also in the rose garden.

Most likely the West Coast’s oldest

continuing literary publication, Reed threw the party to announce its current issue, a mammoth piece of work stuffed and overflowing with fiction, poetry, profiles, interviews and artwork. At 330 pages, the issue is Reed’s largest ever, exactly 130 pages longer than any issue in the journal’s extensive history.

Now, I must make a full, or perhaps empty, disclosure here. A nonfiction piece of mine, a 2,000-word historical profile of the painter ADM Cooper, appears in this year’s issue, so I would never attempt to report on the event with any degree of objectivity. Besides, only a boring, pedestrian, emotionless writer would try to remove himself from such a story. You don’t want this column to be a snore fest, do you? Right.

I didn’t think so.

That said, the history behind Reed is the history of SJSU itself, and it’s been a long, strange trip to say the least. As everyone should already know, SJSU is the oldest public institution of higher learning in California, beginning in 1857 as Minns’ Evening Normal School.

Reed first emerged in 1867 as The Acorn, a handwritten publication by female students when the institution was called California State Normal School. After a few more iterations, the school became San Jose State College in 1935 and then eventually the university in 1974. The Acorn became The Normal School Index in 1895, then The Normal Pennant in 1898, The Quill in 1920, El Portal in 1932 and then finally The Reed in 1948, later shortening itself to just Reed.

The rose garden setting for the party was just about perfect, situated directly across from Morris Dailey Auditorium and right next to the Tower Bell, a 3,000-pound clanger originally cast in 1881 to commemorate the debut of the

California State Normal School.

Coltrane tunes emanated from the system and the drinks flowed.

Many who worked on the current issue of the magazine, as well as former staff, showed up to join the celebration, pound drinks and line up for food. Current and former faculty, students, benefactors and others on the periphery of the local literary scene also attended. With multiple aspects of campus history surrounding the reception, attendees could view the Tower Bell, the statue of Tommie Smith and John Carlos commemorating their bold civil rights stand at the 1968 Olympics and the historic Tower Hall complex.

Morris Dailey himself was president of the campus from 1900-1918, and I think his spirit was present.

Everything unfolded with soft jazz in the background and a tranquil breeze blanketing the whole affair. One person even likened the scene to The Great Gatsby. I would not have gone that far, but if Coltrane can backdrop Gatsby, I’ll take it.

All of which motivated several people—students, faculty and locals—to declare out loud how much finer this setting was than the original plan to stage the event in the City Hall Rotunda, which would have been a disaster. The rotunda is a truly wasteful place to organize an event.

The acoustics are horrible. Anyone at the microphone sounds like he or she is talking inside an airplane hangar.

The dorky swath of paperwork, permits and bureaucracy one is forced to navigate just to use the space is not even remotely worth it. The rose garden and Morris Dailey made much more sense. Setting means everything.

And with 150 years of campus history driving the experience, Gatsby or not, the stage was set for the reading, which then commenced inside Morris Dailey Auditorium.

Professor Cathleen Miller, whose classes assembled the magazine, emceed the evening, along with Santa Clara County Poet Laureate Arlene Biala. SJSU President Mary Papazian, an English Lit Ph.D. herself, spoke to the value of an arts and humanities education, even for the valley-bound engineers that normally get all the attention around campus.

All in all, the evening was a smashing success. I didn’t have to drink a bottle of champagne to act like F. Scott Fitzgerald. Hail Spartans, hail!

25 Silicon Valley sports bars to catch every game, fight & chicken wing

BY PAYJE REDMOND

E

VERY SPORTS BAR has a story to tell, some through pints and pub grub, others through giant TVs and sound systems to knock socks off. We compiled this list of sports-sided watering holes to help keep fans connected to the action and each other.

4TH STREET PIZZA 150 E Santa Clara St, San Jose 408.286.7500 4thstpizzaco.com San Jose State students flock to this spot for the tasty pizzas and special deals, but

4th Street also has a beautiful wood bar to sustain one’s balance during Power Hour: $2 drinks from 11pm-12am.

5TH QUARTER SPORTS BAR & GRILL 1373 Kooser Rd, San Jose 408.265.7033 the5thquartersportsbar.com No matter if it’s the Giants, Sharks or Warriors, 5th Quarter goes the extra mile by pulling out the projector for an expansive wall-to-wall screening.

BLUE CHIP 325 S First St, San Jose 408.971.2898 thebluechipultra.com This subterranean sports bar consistently draws the 49ers faithful.

While the games might not be going their way this season, the cheesesteaks stay on point.

BRITANNIA ARMS 5027 Almaden Expy, San Jose 408.266.0550 brittaniaarms.com This South Side institution is a go-to for soccer matches on early Saturdays—and a game of darts in between pints—but football Sundays can get just as rowdy.

BRITANNIA ARMS 173 W Santa Clara St, San Jose 408.278.1400 brittaniaarmsdowntown.com If people are beating each other up for money on television, it’s absolutely going to be on every screen at The Brit. In addition to showing all of the premier fights, this downtown “pub” also serves as the best place to pregame before heading down the street to watch the Sharks play.

Meat, man. Lots of meat. But don’t forget the beer. Henry’s Hi-Life is a gem tucked away by the Shark Tank, and whether it’s football Sundays or hockey games on a Saturday afternoon, living the Hi-Life means a juicy steak and a beer.

HUNTINGTONS STATION 30 E Third St, Morgan Hill 408.779.3376 huntingtonstationsportspub.com Morgan Hill might not be known for its sports bars or a rabid fan base, but Huntington has a breezy patio to enjoy the weather, the game and some of the best fish and chips in the South Bay.

IBU TAPROOM & BOTTLE SHOP 1422 Dempsey Rd, Milpitas taphunter.com Connected to a Stuft Pizza, IBU has been a smash hit since opening late last year.

An extraordinary library of beers offers fans options they didn’t even know they wanted, while the dozens of TVs throughout the bar and restaurant make it easy to catch the game from any angle.
