RUN RUN GOES

A look back at the gains made in female longdistance running

VIRTUAL

Editor’s note: The annual Wildflower Run in Morgan Hill was originally scheduled for March 29. But Santa Clara County’s order for residents to stay in their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic for the next three weeks has forced the run’s organizers to go “virtual” with this year’s iteration. Nearly every event in Santa Clara and San Benito counties for the next month has been canceled. See below for a partial list of major events that are affected.

COVID-19 IMPACT To combat the spread of COVID-19, organizers throughout Santa Clara and San Benito counties have either canceled or postponed their events that typically draw hundreds of guests.

Here is a partial list of the numerous events impacted, with their originally scheduled dates in parentheses:  San Benito Stage Company’s Casino Night (March 21)  Hollister Exchange Club Crab Crack (March 21)  San Benito High School Drama Department’s Grease (March 20-21, 26-28)  Limelight Actors Theater’s Tigers Be Still (March 20-April 11, postponed at least a month)  San Juan Bautista Art & Craft Festival (March 28-29)

MARCH 20, 2020

 Flamenco performance at Gallery 1202 (rescheduled to June 26)

 Art, Wine, Bubbly, & Chocolate Lovers’ Affair in Downtown Gilroy (April 4)  San Juan Bautista Rib Cook-Off (May 1-3)  San Juan Fiesta Fun Run (May 16)

I

am a proud new member of the Morgan Hill chapter of the American Association of University Women.

Every year, all members assist with the organization’s annual fundraiser, The Wildflower Run, a 37-year community tradition that brings together up to 1,200 diverse runners and walkers from all over the Bay Area. All proceeds fund scholarships, leadership programs for women and girls, community grants, and other programming supporting equity.

With the restrictions on public gatherings, the 2020 Wildflower Run is going virtual, meaning it can be run or walked from any location you choose. New dates are between Sunday, April 19 and Sunday, April 26. We are excited that a virtual run

will enable runners from all over to join in the fun, get their swag, and support our causes. To find out details, visit www.WildflowerRun.org.

This is a unique year for members of AAUW. It is the 100-year anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which granted American women the right to vote. (White women were the main beneficiaries. Men and women of color would continue to fight to battle discriminatory voting practices for decades even after technically receiving the right to vote, culminating in the historic Voting Rights Act of 1965).

As an organization whose mission is to advance gender equality for women and girls, we know that while we have a ways ➝6

COMMUNITY TRADITION The Wildflower Run returns March 29.

to go in attaining full female equality (only 38 states have ratified the Equal Rights Amendment, for example), we must always look back at progress that has been made in our country, if only to remind ourselves that persistence will always move us forward.

As a tribute to our beloved Wildflower Run, I’d like to speak to the gains that have been made in the area of female long-distance running. As a woman runner, one thing I know I often take for granted is the freedom to run without social persecution.

The world of women’s racing as we know it today did not exist 50 years ago, and women’s distance running went unrecognized throughout most of the 20th century.

Though the modern Olympics were founded in 1896, it wasn’t until 1928 that women were allowed to compete in the athletic events. As women competitors

crossed the finish line of the 800meter race, word spread quickly that a few had collapsed in exhaustion (these reports have since been disputed). In response, the International Olympic Committee decided women were too weak to run such long distances and banned them from competing in any race past 200 meters. This ban lasted for the next 32 years.

The world of amateur road racing (runs and marathons) was not faring much better. The Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) also barred women from competing in long-distance races, citing health concerns.

In the late 1960s, this battle played out on a national stage.

After her race entry to the 1966 Boston Marathon was denied because of her sex, 23-year-old Bobbi Gibb hid in the bushes by the starting line and ran the race illegally, finishing ahead of two-thirds ➝7 of the male competitors.

everything from superior pacing abilities and a naturally higher body fat percentage to sociological theories—women have greater barriers to overcome which requires a higher level of effort which only results in greater achievement.

Despite strict laws banning our participation in the Olympics and in amateur road races, despite the lingering belief our mental stamina and physical capabilities are limited, despite constant safety concerns that have us proactively scanning our surroundings every step of an early morning jog, women still run.

Our commitment to the sport is a ready-made metaphor for running itself. We endure. We outlast. We look to the finish and keep pushing until we break the tape.

Though the journey has not been easy, one thing is now clear: The female runner is here to stay, and her time in the spotlight has just begun.

MARCH 20, 2020

Kathrine Switzer followed in her footsteps a year later, registering under a gender-neutral name and becoming the first official female competitor. In what is now an infamous story, a race official tried to grab Switzer near the start to rip off her number. Her teammates intervened, and Switzer was able to finish the race successfully.

By the next decade, the barriers began to crumble. Title IX passed in 1972 and protected women from sex-based discrimination in educational programs and other federally funded activities. That same year, the AAU lifted its ban on women’s distance running. And finally, in 1980, the American College of Sports Medicine officially found zero scientific evidence that women could not compete in long-distance running.

Researchers have since begun to investigate whether women might be better suited than men to run long distances. Reasoning includes

Taking a new stage

Oakwood School’s new performing arts center provides a boost for students

By JENNY ARBIZU

A

s the head of the Performing Arts Department at Oakwood School, Kathleen Abbey has seen her share of drama. For 13 years, the school’s drama director and teacher has had to work with a makeshift stage in the school gymnasium for her theater productions.

“I used to have to worry if a volleyball hit my lights the night before,” she said. “My changing rooms were tents outside the back

door, rain or shine—that's where the kids were.”

But all that changed when the school’s new Liberal Arts Building opened in August, featuring a 200seat performing arts theater which opened two months later.

“I went from a gymnasium thrust stage to a real theater,” Abbey said.

And when Abbey’s students first entered the new Gwendolyn Riches Liberal Arts Theatre in October, emotions ran high.

“When the kids first saw it,

some of them just started crying,” she recalled. “Our changing rooms have big mirrors with Hollywood lights around them; we have an actual green room with a couch and a couple of chairs for the kids to sit in; we have real lighting—and our tech booth is amazing!”

The theater’s two changing rooms also have TV screens, allowing actors to watch the show backstage so as not to miss cues.

“This theater is just amazing,” Abbey said. “It's really state of the art.”

FINISHING TOUCHES Chloe Borsody works on the set of “Seussical.”

three drama classes), had worked on the set design and costumes.

“They are required to come to help build the set, help pull the props and help create their own costumes,” Abbey said. “It’s part of the learning process.”

And that process has now become much easier with the new theater’s Maker’s Lab, which Abbey is especially thankful for.

“The fact that we’ve been able to build and just use this space has been great,” Abbey said. Chloe Borsody (who plays Sour Kangaroo),

for instance, has been designing and creating the Seussical set pieces in the new lab.

“I drew the designs in December and I started building in early January,” Borsody said.

The Oakwood junior has also been in charge of the students required to come in and help.

“She did a really good job of multitasking,” said fellow junior Lili Jaquet (The Cat in the Hat). “It was really impressive.”

The Maker’s Lab is just one of the new features the Gwendolyn

Riches Liberal Arts Theatre has provided for Oakwood’s performing arts department. And while parents and donors have helped fund the payments to build the new building and theater, Oakwood’s Event & Engagement Coordinator, Kelli Frazer, said funds are still needed.

“We are still fundraising for completion,” she said. “We still need support.”

And it has also hosted a number of school productions and concerts since its inaugural show, Here Comes the Judge, in October. Three elementary school shows have followed, as well as a winter concert and the middle school musical, Mulan.

Up until last week, Abbey and her crew were gearing up for Oakwood’s performance of Seussical, which has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

et’s get the bad news out of the way first.

Have y’all heard?

The Amgen Tour of California has unfortunately been placed on hiatus for 2020. It was always a real treat watching the pros race through our neck of the woods! Organizers maintain that a change in “business fundamentals” was the reason; let’s hope they can find a way to bring it back in 2021.

Pedaling into more pleasant pastures, last year’s grueling Cat’s Hill Classic was cancelled; according to the internet, however, the San Jose Bicycle Club is “…organizing to put on Cat’s Hill in Los Gatos on March 21.” Fantastic news for all levels and categories of rabid racers. In the past, this killer has featured 23 percent grades (up Nicholson Avenue) and downhill speeds of up to 50

mph. Obviously, spectating is fun, too!

The following Saturday, March 28, it’s all about the ladies. The annual Cinderella Classic returns to Pleasanton, offering up short, classic and challenging routes (31, 65 and 100 miles, respectively). As always, this very popular ride is fully supported.

Remember, bicycle events like the aforementioned often sell out, so be sure to register sooner rather than later.

Oh, and remember that your local bike shops (Off the Chain, Sunshine, Bike Therapy, et al) often sponsor rides for different ability levels. Take advantage of the springing of spring and get out there and ride!

SPRING PREVIEW: SAN BENITO ORIANA CHORALE

or more than 30 years, the voices of San Benito Oriana Chorale have been bringing beautiful music to San Benito County. The adult and youth choirs are now preparing to showcase their talents once again for their spring concerts in May. The adult choir—made up of 52 men and women—will be performing a variety of choral music based around water, said director Rachel Romina.

“We’re doing a variety of choral music that’s based around water,” she said. “It’s a combination of classical, contemporary, a little bit of pop, and folk. I always try to

do a mixture of genres and styles because it is educating the choir, and also educating the audience.”

Such water-based songs as “Oh Shenandoh” will be performed, and instruments like the banjo, washboard, spoons and drums—which Romina said most of the choir members will be playing while singing— will be integrated into the concert.

“I think they can handle it,” she said of her choir members. “They always say I challenge them, but it always comes together.”

Romina also challenged the choir with six a capella pieces, where only two or three have been performed in the past.

“It is such good music; I had to

use them,” she said of the pieces.

“And I think the group has really improved over the years to do so.”

With members ranging from teenagers to 80-somethings— and coming from all skill levels (“There's no auditioning to get in,” Romina explained)—rehearsals have become “very much like a family kind of environment. It's a very welcoming group.”

And where Romina said any age of members are accepted, “We prefer high school age and up,” she said. “There's a youth choir for young kids.”

That youth choir, which Romina began three years ago, is also preparing for its own spring concert.

“During the Christmas time, we join forces and perform together,” Romina said. “But during the spring, the youth choir does their own concert.”

Becky Miser has directed the youth choir for two years (and is also a member of the adult choir; accompanying for both), and said the 30-member choir will be singing songs centered around the theme of animals.

“We're doing songs like ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight,’ ‘Rockin Robin’ and a medley of Disney things like ‘Bare Necessities’ and ‘Everybody Wants to be a Cat,’” Miser said. “We're also going to do ‘Talk to the Animals’ from Dr. Dolittle. We have a bunch of solos and they all have something to do with animals: ‘Feed the Birds,’ ‘Zip-aDee-Doo-Dah.’ It's a really nice mix.”

Miser is especially looking forward to the kids singing songs from The Aristocats.

“I added the ‘Scales and Arpeggios’ song that the three little kittens sing because it has all the do-re-mi harmony in it,” she said. “I decided to make that be one of my educational highlighted places. So I'm excited about that because the kids have really taken to it. They're getting really, really good at it.”

San Benito Oriana Chorale will be performing May 15 at 7:30pm and May 17 at 3pm; Oriana Youth Choir will be performing May 22 at 7pm.

All concerts are located at Christ Fellowship Church at 2066 San Benito St.in Hollister. For information, visit orianachorale.org.

and cranberry, while the electric red plum and bright cherry of the 2016 Sangiovese (Santa Clara Valley) comes on like birch beer soda with its swig of vanilla. On to the more statuesque 2016 Barbera, you’ll find ripe cherry, cocoa and blackberry lurking in a big mouthfeel.

On the opposite end of things is the 2017 Nebbiolo (Paso), exuding aromatics of dried herbs, violets and exotic flowers, with flavors of orange peel and Campari. The 2016 Sagrantino (estate) exudes dark herbs, hitting like an avalanche of savory basil and menthol.

Bolognese comes to mind.

We wrapped up with the gorgeous dark rum cherry Teroldego, from a vineyard that has since been ripped out. Ponder this with warm, cozy, comfort food: lasagna, anyone?

Assistant winemaker Niklas (Nik) Zorn is not just about making old world style wines from Santa Clara fruit, though. He looks far and wide for vineyards with Italian varieties, augmenting the heart and soul of the iconic brand.

Guglielmo’s current Italian lineup ranges from a grippy, earthy 2016 Grignolino, to a hefty, Saint Bernard-like 2016 Teroldego, each one delivering a unique taste profile. Priced from $22$35, you can easily take the entire lineup home and pair them with your favorite Italian dishes.
