Questions Welcome to this week’s Reno News & Review. Man, I don’t know about y’all, but I feel a little conflicted about some of the questions that’ll be on my ballot this November. First of all, I’m all for complete and total legalization of marijuana. This is something that should’ve been done in Nevada a long time ago. I’ll end up voting in favor of Nevada’s Question 2 and the proposed amendment to the Nevada Revised Statutes that would legalize marijuana for users over the age of 21, but I do have some strong reservations about some of the fine print. The regulations it would create would tend to favor a small number of operators and make it hard for anyone else to get into the business—at least initially. Additionally, the amendment would “not prevent employers from enforcing marijuana bans for their workers,” according to the explanation attached to the question on Washoe County’s website. This is also a problem. I’ve already heard reports of local employers who refuse to hire medical marijuana users, which is total discrimination—refusing to hire people based on their medical needs. I’m also conflicted about Washoe County Question 1, which would impose an additional sales tax in order to raise money to help the county’s overpopulated schools. Now, I know the schools need help, and if there’s one thing I believe in even more than I believe in wanton use of recreational drugs, it’s quality public education, but sales taxes are just so regressive. They hurt working families the most. Wouldn’t it be better to create a state income tax aimed squarely at Sheldon Adelson, Nevada’s richest resident? Or, even better, make local churches have to pay their fair share? But, yeah, good luck getting something like that to pass. In the end, I’ll probably vote for this measure, too, if for no other reason than just to counteract those Grover Norquist wannabe chumps who knee-jerk reject any and every tax.

Our GOP mole Re “Third way” (News, Aug. 18): Dennis Myers is a closet Republican. His article should have been printed as an editorial and not on the news page. The italicized “or” in the article’s subtitle—“Nowhere is it required that voters choose either Trump or Clinton”—seems to encourage people not to vote for Clinton. It is also stupidly obvious: of course we can vote for anyone we want. The fact is, however, on November 8 either Trump or Clinton will be elected, not a minor party candidate. I vote Democratic because on the issues I care most about (environment, public lands and wilderness, social issues, and health care), I agree with that party’s policies, legislative positions, and federal court appointments. Green Party positions are usually identical or similar, but I don’t vote Green Party because they won’t win, and I don’t want to make it one vote easier for a Republican to win. Anyone who thinks that Democrats are the same as Republicans is simply wrong. The biggest problem in government and politics is the nearly unrestricted flow of campaign money from corporations and wealthy people, which distorts policies and legislation to benefit them at the expense of the rest of us. This was made possible by Supreme Court rulings in 2010 (Citizens United) and 2013 (McCutcheon), both decided with 5-4 votes. Reinstatement of campaign finance limits won’t be possible until at least one more liberal justice is appointed to the Supreme Court. That won’t happen unless a Democrat is president. Finally, back to Dennis Myers’s bias. He states that independent/ minor party candidate Ross Perot cost Bill Clinton’s opponents the elections in 1992 and 1996. That’s true only if a majority of Perot’s votes had gone to Clinton’s Republican opponents. In the next paragraph, he states Al Gore would have won the 2000 election if he had won his home state. Well, no shit, he could’ve won any other state and won the election. But in Florida, Gore lost by only 537 votes. If only 0.6 percent of Nader’s 97,000 votes had gone to Gore, Bush would never have been president. And we would’ve made progress on global warming, and we never would’ve had the Iraq war, the rise of ISIS, or Bush’s two massive tax cuts benefitting the wealthy. Mr. Myers’s logic is inconsistent, although in both cases (1992/1996 and 2000) it is biased against the Democratic candidate. Michael Powell Reno
corporations shouldn’t get special deals and expanded legal rights that throw existing standards and protections by the wayside. I’m against this policy because trade deals should improve the lives and living standards of working people both here and abroad. Labor Day should serve as another wake-up call to our elected officials: reject the TPP. Paul Lenart Reno
Habitat for gold Right now the BLM decision to allow Canadian multinational Kinross Gold to continue the 80-year expansion of the Bald Mountain Mine [a Barrick Gold Corporation site in White Pine County] should be taken off the table. The fact is Kinross is a defendant in the Animas River accident in Colorado. Not only did they pollute the river but thousands of people downstream. I know some of you think the EPA is responsible, but they didn’t leave the pollution there and run off with the gold. When are we going to learn suing the EPA is suing ourselves? U.S. citizens should be tired of picking up the bill when their careless corporate children make a big mess forcing mommy and daddy to pick up the bill and clean up after them. The fact is they can’t be trusted. If you want to save wildlife you must save habitat. The recent Overland Pass fire increases a continued downward spiral of Nevada’s largest migrating mule deer herd. The Mule Deer Foundation has been oddly quiet about this. Maybe they protect money more than deer? Louis Friend Reno

TPPing point The Obama administration will once again try to push the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement through Congress soon, and attempt to sweep the numerous problems with this trade agreement under the rug. It’s important that our community understands the impact of the agreement. The TPP would benefit corporate CEOs and investors at the expense of working people and consumers like you and me.

The (very) least we can do It’s one of those times when the people are way ahead of their politicians—at least those politicians more afraid of the National Rifle Association’s campaign checkbook than the voters who want to protect their families from gun violence. 2016 may be the year Nevadans finally tell the NRA leadership “enough” when they pass Question One on the November ballot, closing the gun show loophole which currently allows private firearms sales to be performed without the background check a purchaser would routinely receive at a gun store. This small step forward in gun safety won’t solve the problem of gun violence. But it’s definitely a step in the right direction. In 1998, when I was first elected to the Nevada Assembly, I was counseled to keep my strong feelings about gun safety and its relationship to suicide and accidental child deaths to myself. Talking publicly about gun safety was considered politically dangerous. I did speak out, once, after yet another child was accidentally killed by an unsecured
firearm in his home. That was the year we got caller ID. My daughter was instructed not to pick up the phone if it wasn’t a friend or family member. The calls were so bad I almost made a formal report to the police but decided ignoring the threats was better than escalating the fight. Fast forward to 2016 when we have self-proclaimed militia members displaying their firearms atop horseback like caricatures from the Wild West, pointing them at government officials who insist on protecting public lands for the rest of us. They feel empowered by pandering politicians who reflexively bow to NRA bullies and have no inkling of how out of step they are with the average American fed up with gun violence. Question One, the Nevada Background Checks for Gun Purchases Initiative, will simply require a background check when a firearm is purchased through a private party, at a gun show, or online, as is currently the practice when purchased at a retail store. There are reasonable exceptions
for temporary transfers of guns used for hunting or target shooting, for immediate self-defense, and for transfers between family members. If we prevent people who shouldn’t be purchasing a gun from buying one, it’s not going to destroy the Second Amendment Many Nevadans still can’t fathom Governor Sandoval’s inexplicable veto of similar legislation passed by legislative Democrats in 2013, but no matter. He only gets one vote this time. Opponents cite predictable, tired arguments about the huge burden background checks place on law-abiding citizens. The truth is the vast majority of checks are completed within 90 seconds. In the 18 states that have closed the loophole, rates of gun suicides, police officers killed with guns, and women shot and killed by their intimate partners were cut nearly in half. We know that background checks have prevented thousands of felons, domestic abusers and others prohibited from buying guns from getting them at Nevada’s gun
stores. Sixty-three percent of the blocked sales were requested by felons and fugitives. One rural Nevada sheriff whom I deeply respect, Kenny Furlong of Carson City, won’t support Question One, stating the lack of accessible, affordable mental health care is a complicating factor in many violent gun episodes. I agree with his argument that we need better suicide prevention programs and mental health treatment but it’s not realistic to think we’re going to solve that intractable problem overnight either. Question One won’t end gun violence. But it will stop some people from purchasing guns who shouldn’t have them. It will save lives. We can’t ignore an opportunity to make it harder for dangerous people to get a gun. Governor Sandoval will just have to catch up with the rest of us. Ω

Colin’s crusade Colin Kaepernick is no longer the star University of Nevada, Reno quarterback MVP of the 2008 Humanitarian Bowl who then led the San Francisco 49ers to the 2012 Super Bowl. He is relegated to a backup role with the 2016 49ers. It is his refusal to stand up for the pregame national anthem that has catapulted Colin to a star role in spurring a national debate about the First Amendment, freedom of speech, professional sports, the U.S. military and police. “The Star Spangled Banner” celebrates the British bombardment in the War of 1812 of Fort McHenry near Baltimore, which was so prolonged no one knew if the fort would survive until the next day, when “Our flag was still there.” The War of 1812 is the last time America was actually invaded by a foreign power. We were attacked in an attempt by Britain to either win us back as colonies, or sharply curtail our power to expand westward.
Colin has not been explicit about his protest but has linked it to Black Lives Matter by talking mostly about police brutality toward blacks. (Colin himself is of mixed race.) Many conservatives immediately accused him of being anti-military. Colin later said he was surprised that people would take it that way, and he assured us that his protest is not over the military. Some point to the never-sung but controversial third stanza of the anthem. It contains the line, “No refuge could save the hireling and slave / From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave.” Francis Scott Key wrote the “Star Spangled Banner” as a poem, then years later it was set to music and became our anthem. Key was, like many Americans of his time, a slaveholder. Classical liberal Britain was the leading global opponent of slavery, but not of its own enormous empire, in 1812. Britain encouraged slaves to desert and join the fight against the Americans.
At least 6,000 did, some of whom were engaged in the battle to take Fort McHenry as the “Corp of Colonial Marines.” Key may very well have celebrated America’s victory over the escaped slaves as a win for freedom. It is an historical fact that after the war America asked Britain to return its “property.” Britain refused, and the escaped slaves went to Canada and the Caribbean ,where they became known as “Mericans.” But Colin has never said it is the song itself, but rather current events, that stirred him to protest. Colin sometimes wears socks during team practices that portray cartoon images of police as pigs. To label any group collectively is a kind of discrimination that Colin himself should deplore. But that is not to say that he is totally incorrect. The police in America are capable of great compassion, heroism and excellent performance in dangerous situations. They are also capable of great cruelty, cowardice and poor performances
in non-dangerous situations. The policeman who delivers the baby of a woman in a cab could also be the policeman who rapes sex workers under threat of arrest. The police kill thousands of family dogs every year. They sometimes plant evidence and “testify” to get convictions. SWAT teams that were created for extreme hostage rescue situations are now used routinely to serve drug warrants. They are a threat to stop us and take our cash. Colin’s nonspecific individual protest may turn out to be more valuable than organized groups with signs and agendas. We need a national discussion on race, police and crime. Colin has helped to jump-start that discussion. On his knee or on the bench, he deserves our appreciation. Ω

Athlete Aids Reid moves
Legal marijuana publicist Will Adler makes his pitch to television crews in Reno.
Olympic pentathlete Margaux Isaksen has lent her new celebrity to protection of public lands, publishing an essay in her Colorado Springs hometown newspaper and joining Nevada’s U.S. Sen. Harry Reid and U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego of Arizona at a news conference. “The National Forest was basically our backyard, and for a time my mom ran a bed and breakfast in the area,” Isaksen wrote in the essay. “As kids, we ran all the trails and swam in all of the protected streams and rivers. Growing up next to the Ozark National Forest shaped me as an athlete and pushed me to become an Olympian.” “One of the biggest risks we’ve seen is the efforts … to use different types of legislation to either strip away some of these protections or to stop any future protections,” Gallego said. This was in reference to bills sponsored by U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop of Utah, opening up public lands for development or recreation. Reid and Bishop called for more protection against such initiatives.

Pot tAle of the week The Las Vegas Review-Journal last week reported, “Pat Hickey, Nevada coordinator for Smart Approaches to Marijuana … said legalizing the drug would break legal tradition; America, he said, has never legalized marijuana.” In fact, it is a tradition of English law—on which most U.S. law outside Louisiana is based—that “Everything which is not forbidden is allowed.” The Latin phrase nulla poena sine lege (no penalty without a law) reflects this view. Basically, it means you don’t need a law to make something legal. You need a law to make it illegal. There is no Nevada law making prostitution legal, but it is legal in the small counties on a local option basis because it is not against state law there. Only in the two urban counties is it illegal under state law. While there may be a distinction between unlawful and illegal, it has little relevance here. The fact is that for most of U.S. history marijuana was legal by virtue of not being unlawful, although city councils, state legislatures and Congress had decades of opportunity to outlaw the plant and did not do so. Some of the founders, indeed, planted and harvested hemp themselves. (There are reports we were unable to confirm that, earlier, in the British Jamestown Colony of Virginia in 1619, farmers were required by law to plant Indian hempseed.) Not until the 1860s did Virginia City, Nevada, and San Francisco, California, enact anti-drug measures, directed against opium, inaugurating the practice of prohibition that has been such a smashing success. And marijuana remained legal until long after that. Congress, in fact, took actions to regulate it while keeping it legal, which is what the Nevada initiative petition seeks to do. In 1906 the U.S. Pure Food and Drug Act required labeling of over-thecounter medications containing cannabis. Even the federal Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, enacted amid lurid and racist anti-marijuana newspaper campaigns, did not actually outlaw the plant. It taxed it oppressively and limited use to those who paid excise takes for certain uses. It specifically recognized and protected the medical value of the plant. However, some states—Nevada in 1923—had already outlawed marijuana by then.

Sales pitch New industry shows its business side supporters of ballot Question two have begun pushing messages designed to calm fears that marijuana prohibitionists are trying to spread. During the first week of September, the Nevada Dispensary Association held events on child safety to support legislation regulating the design of medical marijuana edibles so they do not attract children. In the second week of September, the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol held news conferences to spotlight its claim that regulated, legal marijuana would produce both jobs and taxes in Nevada. At the Reno news conference, Washoe County Commissioner Kitty Jung was on hand to endorse the measure and also introduced another factor in the campaign. She said approving the measure is a way of empowering women who tend to dominate existing medical marijuana companies. Some critics say women tend to be out in front at the companies but that the ownership is principally male.
Jung responded, “I know two women majority owners that were at the news conference.” Sarah Rosenfeld, listed as a corporate officer in Medical Marijuana Group Inc., said, “From my anecdotal experience, I would say there are more women in this industry.” (In June the Atlantic Monthly posted an article, “Why the Marijuana Business Is Appealing to Female Entrepreneurs.”)
who took early risks investing in medical marijuana should have a leg up on newcomers seeking to enter the field. “I would prefer they are the first actors in the regulated marijuana market, anyway,” he said. He said enactment of the initiative petition would “take a lot of jobs out of the black market and move them into the regulated legal market.” Whether it would work out that way is difficult to predict. A visual aid he employed at the news conference projected a $464,005,000 bonanza in tax revenues for the state over seven years if voters approve the measure. In Colorado, a combination of marijuana remaining illegal in some parts of the state and an array of taxes that push up the price of marijuana have kept a black market in business. The Colorado marijuana market includes a 10 percent state marijuana tax, 2.9 percent state sales tax, 15 percent excise, and local sales taxes in some places. It is earmarked mostly for health-related spending, plus some education and law enforcement costs. Taxation often drives a black market. Nevada loses some money to black market tobacco products, but the Western champ in this field is generally considered to be Arizona, where the tax level is higher than both neighboring states and tribal reservations. Opponents of Question Two have been laying low through most of the campaign so far, and are believed to be marshalling their funds for heavy advertising buys at the end of the campaign. Las Vegas billionaire Sheldon Adelson is among leading Nevada opponents of regulated marijuana, and he provided most of the funding for an anti-marijuana campaign in Florida two years ago. That campaign dealt with medical uses for the plant, and opinion surveys showed up to 90 percent of Floridians supported the state measure, but Adelson’s $5 million overcame that. The vote actually supported passage of medical marijuana with a 57 percent majority,
Why do some companies get favored treatment?
BlAck mARket Asked why the language of the initiative petition favors some companies over others, Nevada Medical Marijuana Association spokesperson Will Adler said it was intended that the players
but fell short of a required 60 percent supermajority. There has been no firm sign yet of whether Adelson will enter the Nevada campaign, but his Las Vegas Review Journal reversed its position on legal marijuana after he purchased that newspaper. There are several organizations set up to oppose Question Two in Nevada, but they are mostly little-funded. The most credible, headed by former Nevada Assembly Republican floor leader Pat Hickey, is called Nevadans for Responsible Drug Policy, but its activities have been mostly educational and low-key so far. Clark County Sens. Richard Segerblom and Patricia Farley have said they will sponsor legislation to deal with marijuana edibles if the ballot measure is approved. In Colorado, the physical appearance of some commercial edibles was similar to candy or dessert items and lured children, akin to the way some cold tablets resemble red M&Ms. The Colorado attorney general has twice issued regulations to reduce the risk to children. Though no Nevada language is available yet, the Farley/Segerblom measures are expected to crack down on the use of cartoon characters, animal and fruit shapes. Farley is a Republican, Segerblom a Democrat. Ω

Family business
Casale’s Halfway Club marked its 80th anniversary last week on Sept. 8. Opened by Elvira and John Casale as a bar, store and fruit stand on the long, empty stretch between Reno and Sparks, the Casales eventually added cook-it-yourself ravioli to their stock, which won a following—in particular, among local Italian families that used their own recipes for the sauce. Eventually that product line evolved into the family serving their own dinners in an enlarged building. The matriarch these days is Inez Casale Stempeck, and a dozen or so other family members are still involved in the business. PHOTO/DENNIS MYERS

Salcido v. Brekhus Council contenders ponder city’s future
“ Whiskey is for drinking. Water is for saving.” - Mark Twain? The truth is, to live here is to know that water is the most precious liquid we can pour into a glass or sprinkle on our lawns. You hold on to water, no matter if it’s a good year or a bad year. Water. Be responsible. Care about it, and only use what you need.

Reno City Council races are non-partisan. Think of it this way: there’s not a Republican or Democrat-specific ideology for trash removal. However, that isn’t to say that there are not politics involved, and the two major political parties do sometimes take a hand. A council seat has a four-year term. The council is responsible for approving and adopting the city budget, levying taxes, and making or amending city laws, policies and ordinances. Also important to note, these are citywide elections, meaning voters in all wards choose Ward One’s councilmember. The Ward One race between incumbent Jenny Brekhus and immigration lawyer Victor Salcido is a particularly interesting one. “In 2012, when I came on, I spent the first 18 months not sure we weren’t going to go into some sort of insolvency,” said Brekhus, mentioning “creative management of cashflow” from the city. But Brekhus’s term was witness to the upturn of the national economy after the Great Recession, an upturn that benefitted Reno’s economy, too. “With this being Nevada, the boom or bust cycle is in our DNA, and we quickly went onto the trajectory of growth,” she said. “[Managing city growth] is an area I’ve been focused on my whole professional career—now in my third decade.” Brekhus worked previously for the cities of Albuquerque and Silver City, New Mexico. Among the successes of the city during her term was the reduction of over $110 million dollars of city debt. Brekhus also participated in Phase I of the Reimagine Reno 20-year Master Plan that stands as the basis of investments and policy for the future.
SALCIDO
“The challenge for Reno is to keep that small-town feeling that we enjoy and that our existing neighborhoods don’t get lost in suburban sprawl,” she said. According to Brekhus 30,000 singlefamily residential units are currently approved in the city of Reno, but there is only the demand for approximately 10,000 single family units. Her goal in the next phase of the master plan—which would fall in her next term as councilmember—is to balance consumer demand and consumer preference regarding the types of neighborhoods Reno maintains and develops. “I think the master plan is a good example of what the City Council should be doing,” said Brekus’s opponent, Victor Salcido. He likens the position to a business board of directors that provides the vision and long-term planning with the responsibility of execution in the hands of the city staff. “I come from a business background so it makes sense to me to put it in those terms.” Addressing public safety, cleaning up downtown and accentuating Reno as a college town, Salcido is promoting what he calls “a new economy.” “We have companies and entrepreneurs who are disrupting traditional business models,” he said. “They are developing these businesses that don’t clearly fit into a box—they operate in a gray area, and they do that because there’s a business advantage for doing so.” His website references AirBnB and Uber, and it shows a picture of a drone carrying a box. His goal is make the economy better suited to catalyze more non-traditional local businesses. Salcido, 33, received a law degree from the University of Arizona. He worked as deputy legislative counsel at the Nevada Legislature in Carson City before moving to Reno to open his own law practice. “I think that one of the things that sometimes concerns people—or is used to attack me—is my youth, but I think that is an enormous advantage,” Salcido said. Brekus said she does not know much about her competitor. “I haven’t had a lot of interaction with him, so I can’t speak to what his differences are,” she said. Ω

ummer is drawing to a close. The first hint of cooler weather made its appearance—as if on cue—when the calendar switched over to September. Now, the last of the big, warm weather events is close at hand. When the bikers rumble out of town after Street Vibrations, we can all head to the coffee shop for a pumpkin latte and call it a wrap. Then what? Autumn is a glorious, mellow time year in Northern Nevada. But even though the weather is still lovely, wouldn’t it be nice to do some stuff indoors? To pack away the sunscreen and the jorts in favor of some sweatpants—or, hell, your birthday suit, for that matter? We sure think so. That’s why RN&R puts together an annual Fall Guide with indoor entertainment options you can delight in. Enjoy.

I am a movie reviewer. I like going to the movies. I like going to the movies very, very much. I also like staying home and streaming things on my big screen or my computer. Much of what’s being offered on the TV these days is as good or even better than the weekly offerings at the cinemas. It’s a good thing. So here’s a quick list of things to watch at home in between trips to the cinema, and, you know, trips to the workplace and the grocery store and stuff. TV shows
Stranger Things (Netflix) is a better time than most of the summer blockbusters that came out these past few
months, and it’s a nifty tribute to Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, Stephen King and Winona Ryder. The Night Of (HBO On Demand and the HBO apps), a show originally intended for James Gandolfini and now featuring John Turturro, makes courtroom dramas worth watching again. If you are looking for some laughs, Vice Principals (HBO), starring Danny McBride and Walton Goggins, is definitely one of the year’s funniest—and nastiest—TV offerings. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Netflix) has two seasons available for streaming, and if you haven’t seen Kimmy yet, you need to get going. While you are on Netflix, watch—or re-watch—Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp. It came out a year ago but, hey, it’s worth a yearly visit. If you have cable, your Adult Swim On Demand feature allows you access
3RD ANNUAL HARVEST FESTIVAL & CRAFT FAIR: The craft fair will feature more than 60 booths with local artisans and crafters selling holiday gifts, jewelry, soaps and lotions, woodworking, handmade baskets, gourds, quilts, hand-sewn items and more.

to the fourth seasons of The Eric Andre Show and Check it Out! starring John C. Reilly—for those of you with whacked-out senses of humor only (“Bird up!”). While you are binge-watching TV shows, go ahead and either re-watch or introduce yourself to Twin Peaks (Netflix). The groundbreaking ’90s show has aged really well, and 2017 will bring us new episodes via Showtime from the long dormant David Lynch. Be prepared. Limited theatrical releases
More and more, movies that are getting limited theatrical releases are receiving same-day online releases so that those of us without art theaters can still see them. Nice recent examples that you can stream on iTunes, Amazon.com and On
Demand include: Blood Father, with Mel Gibson kicking mortal ass as an ex-con dad trying to protect his daughter; Morris From America, with Craig Robinson showing he is much more than a comedic actor; and Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World, the latest documentary from Werner Herzog. things you missed in theater
For some reason or another, there were some really good movies that inexplicably bombed this past summer season. Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is easily one of the year’s funniest movies, with Andy Samberg getting laughs at a commendable pace. The Witch, The Lobster and The Neon Demon are all exemplary efforts that weren’t exactly box office giants. All are currently available for rent on iTunes, Amazon.com, etc.
If you watch everything listed above you will be enlightened, entertained and perhaps grossed out a bit, especially by the mulched baby in The Witch. So renew that Netflix subscription, make sure your wi-fi has a decent bandwidth, and have at it.

From a musical standpoint, the summer of 2016 was legendary. Our lord and savior Beyoncé graced us with Lemonade, Frank Ocean dropped two albums, and Britney Spears made a comeback that no one expected (or asked for). But now it’s that time to put down the Top 40 list and synth pop and pick up the indie folk rock. So settle in for this fall’s music essentials.
Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop: Love Letter for Fire
Love Letter for Fire is a collaboration between Beam, better known by his stage name Iron & Wine, and Jesca Hoop. The album is filled with duets that merge Beam’s intimate folk style with Hoop’s experimental pop flair. At the heart of the 13 duets are the harmonies, which are highlighted by the juxtaposition of Beam’s warm lower register and Hoop’s buoyant vocal vibrancy. The end result is that the fire is more of a comfortable slow burn than it is a raging flame, allowing the album to feel like a hip coffee shop playlist, but with less pretension. Gavin DeGraw: Something Worth Saving
DeGraw’s newly released sixth studio album feels like the soundtrack to your classic coming-of-age flick, but in the best way possible. It is reminiscent of a Maroon 5-style pop rock, but infused with soulful harmonies. The album ambles through upbeat, infectious danceworthy songs to shower-karaoke love ballads effortlessly. Something Worth Saving induces a dizzying amount of head-bobbing and foot-tapping that is the perfect cure for overcast fall weather and brooding. noname: telefone
While summer rap anthems make you want to hit the clubs or get wasted playing beach volleyball, albums like Telefone make you want to sit in the dark and get unnecessarily philosophical. The tracks are easy to listen to, built on a foundation of gospel harmonies, mixed with a little bit of Sunday Night Slow Jams, while Noname flows overhead with a style akin to Chance the Rapper. Telefone is as exquisitely thought-provoking as it is catchy, which proves for a vital mix for your playlist when you’re Instagramming yet another photo of feet in a pile of leaves. Angel olsen: my Woman
If there was ever an album to best capture the offbeat, evocative essence of fall music, Angel Olsen’s latest album, My Woman, would be it. Listening to it feels like being drunk on Malbec and dangerously treading the line between having a no-pants dance party or crying because your Tinder date never texted you, and it’s
been three days already. The album is a culmination of what Olsen has accomplished thus far, mixing her lo-fi folk roots with some synth additions and a basketful of lyrics that hits right in the heart. My Woman encapsulates the spirit of tangled, messy love and infuses it with a Twin Peaks aesthetic.
c o nSoLE co rn UcopIA by Ashley hennefer
Back in June, E3—the biggest gaming event of the year—showcased a ton of fall video game releases. Almost all of them are sequels. But innovations in game design let storytellers tell more sophisticated game narratives, so there are still plenty of new experiences to anticipate in familiar worlds. With that in mind, get ready for blustery autumnal weather, and hunker down inside with these five major releases. titanfall 2 (Xbox one, pS4, pc) — oct. 28
The second installment to the wildly successful 2014 release promises more fightin’ robots with more destructive weapons and features. In this firstperson shooter, players take on the role of pilots in large mech suits called Titans. Unlike the first game, this installment will feature a single-player narrative campaign to delve deeper into the world of Titanfall, as well as the multiplayer mode players have come to expect. call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (Xbox one, pS4, pc) — nov. 4
Yet another first-person shooter game emerges from one of the most successful video game franchises of all time. One wonders when they will run out of epic adjectives to use in the titles. The 13th primary game in the Call of Duty series lives up to its title, introducing a new setting—outer space. And that’s not all. There are also zombies! In space! Players will act as a special operations pilot to control zombieridden space battles. Dishonored 2 (Xbox one, pS4, pc) — nov. 11
The gritty, roguish Dishonored, released in 2012, was a much-welcome original adventure story that enthralled players with its aesthetic and characters. In the
sequel, players will explore Karnaca, a fictional coastal city inspired by cities in southern Europe. Choose to play as the first game’s protagonist, Corvo Attano, or his daughter, Emily Kaldwin. And with this choice comes additional gameplay freedom, such as playing stealthily or choosing not to kill any other characters during the playthrough. Watch Dogs 2 (Xbox one, pS4, pc) — nov. 15
Pop culture hackers seem to be having a moment in the spotlight. Grand Theft Auto fans will find many similarities in the Watch Dog series, with the addition of hacking skills to manipulate the world’s technology. Watch Dogs 2 will also be open-world, like its predecessor. This time, it’s set in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, instead of Chicago. Players will assume the role of Marcus Holloway, who is trying to take down an intrusive surveillance system. pokémon Sun and moon (nintendo 3DS) — nov. 18
Riding high on the summer success of Pokémon Go, the Pokémon Company is gearing up for the next release in its 20-year franchise history. Pokémon Sun and Moon is the newest 3DS game in the series, featuring the signature, charmingly pixelated graphics, as well as a new Hawaii-inspired map to explore, new Pokémon and new evolutionary stages for existing Pokémon. As the series progresses, the stories become a bit darker and more complex as the rules of the Pokémon universe start to emerge. How and why do Pokémon evolve? And, per tradition, there’s always a silly-named enemy group to defeat: this time, it’s Team Skull.

they are the milder, more comfortable seasons, it’s good to make the best of them while they last. Reading is one of the best ways. As always, we recommend obtaining these suggested titles from a locally owned bookstore. In fact, we might mention that in the case of one of these titles, we ordered it from Sundance Books and it arrived later the same day. In novels, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak has been on the paperback fiction bestseller list for more than a year, and there’s good reason. For those who have not read it, autumn beckons. With Nevada’s Harry Reid talking about how Warren Buffet needs to let go of the old utility model created by George Westinghouse, it may be useful to crack The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore, a novel on competition between Westinghouse and Thomas Edison. On to local interest. Last year in this space we recommended a new biography by Jack Harpster and commented on how prolific he is. He proved it again with a volume about to be released
Ask the experts:
by the University of Nevada Press, The Genesis of Reno, which uses the Virginia Street Bridge and the adjoining Riverside hotels to describe the community’s evolution. During Nevada’s mining history, immigrant charcoal burners used their ancient skill—slowly burning wood in low oxygen kilns to create charcoal that burns hotter than wood—to aid the Nevada mining industry. An 1879 dispute between the carbonari and management brought officialdom in on the side of management, and a Eureka County sheriff’s posse opened fire on a camp of about a hundred striking Italo-American workers at Fish Creek, killing five. The Charcoal Burner’s War of 1879 by Ronald James tells the tawdry and tragic tale, overlooked for far too long in the nation’s labor wars, and tells it well. Other nonfiction: In Hitler’s First Victims, author Timothy Ryback brings out of obscurity the story of a local prosecutor who, shortly after the Nazis came to power in 1933, heard about the killing of the first four Jews at Dachau.
It apparently never occurred to him not to do something about it, investigating and bringing charges. In the end, the Nazi bureaucracy smothered his efforts, but the records he made—found after the war—provided fodder for postwar trials. This volume has direct relevance today. If a prosecutor could do his duty in a 1933 Germany ruled by Adolf Hitler, it is fair to ask why spineless Philippine prosecutors are sitting on their hands in 2016. Some prohibitionists in this election season are not only dissing legal marijuana but are still trying to undercut the science of medical marijuana. Reno anesthesiologist Jack Isler—author of the previous technical manual 21 Broken Bones—has written Marijuana: It’s an Herb with an Asterisk that makes a contribution to the voluminous medical literature on the plant. Since we began with a reference to poetry, let’s end there with a suggestion that is always in season—William Butler Yeats. On his death, a Glasgow editorialist asked of the Irish senator and Nobel poet, “Was he the herald

of a new era, or a lost voice crying in the wilderness?” There is a small 478-page volume, Collected Poems, available from MacMillan Collector’s Library that is easily carried about, and helps the reader answer that question.

Isn’t it funny how even as the air outside cools, the colors grow warmer? Autumn leaves present themselves in a riot of hues from gold to scarlet. From a distance, the mountains look to be draped in a vibrant patchwork quilt, and, up close, the trees seem to shimmer as gilt leaves shiver in the breeze. Too bad this beauty is often short-lived. But with a little patience, some clever crafting skills and a large supply of artificial leaves, you can keep the splendor of fall foliage around long after the last real leaf has fallen.
Fall leaf windcatcher
You can create the look of swirling autumn leaves with a windcatcher. You’ll need twine, artificial leaves and a willow wreath—all of which can be purchased at Dollar Tree. You’ll also want a hot glue gun. Start by cutting several varied lengths of twine. Tie the ends of your twine pieces to individual branches around the bottom of the wreath. Next, add your leaves. Using scissors, make a small cut in the center of each leaf. Run the twine through these cuts, adding several leaves spaced out along each piece of twine. Place a small dot of hot glue over the cuts to hold each leaf in place. Lastly, cut four more equal lengths of twine. Tie these at equidistant intervals on the top of wreath, and tie
their ends together so you can suspend your windcatcher.
a dot of hot glue to secure a leaf to center of each flag.
Book pages and leaf bunting
Autumn leaf bowl
A fall leaf bunting is festive and, frankly, a little bit classy. You’ll need more artificial leaves, twine, hot glue and a book you’re willing to part with. Carefully tear or cut several pages from the book. Fold each page in half lengthwise, and use a line of hot glue about an inch below the fold to hold each page closed. Next, use a pen or marker to place a dot in the center of each folded page. Use scissors to cut a diagonal line from the lower outside corners of each page up to your dot. When you’re done, they should look like small, swallowtail flags. Now, cut a length of twine, and thread each flag onto it. Finally, use
A bowl made from autumn leaves is great for candy or potpourri. This project is labor-intensive and potentially messy—but so worth it. You’ll need a bowl, some plastic wrap, a bottle of matte modge podge and artificial leaves. Choose a bowl that’s a shape and size you like, to serve as a mold for your leaf bowl. Place the bowl upside down on a table and cover the outside in plastic wrap. Spread a thin layer of modge podge over the plastic wrap and begin pressing leaves onto it. Lay down several layers of leaves with a layer of modge podge between each. For a shallower leaf bowl, stop when the leaves are halfway up the outside of your mold. Add another layer of plastic wrap to the hold everything in place while the bowl dries. Wait 24 hours before carefully removing your leaf bowl from the mold and peeling off the plastic wrap. Ω

AUTUmN oN THE biG SCrEEN
Fall movies have a big job—making up for summer’s cinematic sins by bob Grimm |
bgri mm@ news re vie w .c o m
blAir WiTCH (SEpT. 16) They are cranking up this franchise again, which means more people pissing on walls and more stick figures in the woods. Seriously though, this one has promise—and might actually deliver on the creepy premise that was only slightly scary in the original and completely stupid in the sequel.
bridGET JoNES’S bAby (SEpT. 16) Shamefully, the attention will surely focus upon Renee Zellweger’s face and whether or not it’s been surgically altered rather than the actual contents of this film. I think she looks pretty good. Everybody shut up.
SNoWdEN (SEpT. 16) It’s a controversial subject, so Oliver Stone must address it, right? Next up for Stone after Oh, the autumn. A this: The Kitten Who Liked time for apple cider … a time Clowns and Bundt Cake, for burning leaves in the backyard and a heartwarming tale of a scaring the shit out of your dog … a time kitten who conspires to for shooting last year’s unwanted boots stuffed assassinate a unicorn with dead mice and rocks out of a cannon and into with the help of circus your neighbor’s swimming pool, forcing them to dive friends. Or did the into really cold water in order to fish them out, thus kitten act alone? hampering their efforts to cover the damn thing. Hmm … It’s my favorite time of the year. It’s also a time for going to the movies with hope for THE mAGNifiCENT better cinematic explorations. Autumn is the intellectual SEvEN (SEpT. 23) antidote for big, dumb summer movies. Hopefully, this autumn will please that part of your brain that likes This one falls into things that go boom, too, because, man, the blockthat rare category of busters this past summer sucked. “Remakes That Might Below is a listing of highlights coming Be Worth a Dick.” Denzel your way before the end of the year. It’s Washington and Chris Pratt frivolous in parts. That’s how I put on their six shooters and roll. I have issues. travel with five other guys to blaze away at bad dudes. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
18 | RN&R | 09.15.16
dEEpWATEr HorizoN (SEpT. 30) Mark Wahlberg is on an oil platform in the middle of the ocean when the bastard blows up. I’m thinking this development upsets his character a tad.
miSS pErEGriNE’S HomE for pECUliAr CHildrEN (SEpT. 30) This is a Tim Burton movie, so I’m thinking it will feature a lot of palefaced people with darkness around their eyes and a Danny Elfman soundtrack. Good lord, I’m wrong! No Elfman! That’s weird!
THE Girl oN THE TrAiN (oCT. 7) Emily Blunt tries to apologize for The Huntsman: Winter’s War with this mystery about a girl who sees something, and might not be firing on all mental cylinders.
THE birTH of A NATioN (oCT. 7) Not to be confused with 1915’s The Birth of a Nation, one of the more fiercely racist, moronic films ever made. (I don’t care if it’s considered a classic. It belongs in the garbage can.) This one, about a slave uprising, was directed by Nate Parker, who is having a rough time in the press these days.
THE ACCoUNTANT (oCT. 14) Ben Affleck travels the globe doing dirty books for terrible people. At night, he puts on tights and a cowl and drives around in this thing called the Batmobile. No, wait …
Jack ReacheR: NeveR Go Back (oct. 21)
BIlly lyNN’s loNG halftIMe walk (Nov. 11)
Tom Cruise does, indeed, go back as Jack Reacher, a relatively grouchy guy who solves crimes while punching through windshields and people’s faces.
Ang Lee, ladies and gentleman. Ang Lee.
tyleR PeRRy’s Boo!: a Madea halloweeN (oct. 21) God hates you.
INfeRNo (oct. 28) Tom Hanks just won’t let the lousy Da Vinci Code franchise die. This is the third movie in the series, and considering the odds, it’s probably a third too many.
lovING (Nov. 4) I have high hopes for this interracial love story from director Jeff Nichols, who already has a very good movie out in 2016 with Midnight Special. Let’s hope this is a great one.
Bleed foR thIs (Nov. 4):
aRRIval (Nov. 11) Amy Adams stars in Denis Villeneuve’s (Sicario) film about an alien arrival and trying to bridge the linguistic gap before things go bad.
faNtastIc Beasts aNd wheRe to fINd theM (Nov. 18) The world of J.K. Rowling lives on, of course, in this new chapter of wizardry sans Harry Potter.

NoctuRNal aNIMals (Nov. 18)
doctoR stRaNGe (Nov. 7)
Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams star in this revenge thriller from director Tom Ford (A Single Man).
Doctor Strange
Bad saNta (Nov. 23)
Warren Beatty takes himself out of mothballs to direct a comedy that involves Howard Hughes, with him actually playing Howard Hughes. That’s a lot to do for a guy who has been hibernating for 15 years.
From the previews, it doesn’t look like Billy Bob Thornton has lost a step as the nasty, boozing, thieving Santa. They also got the original kid back, and this time he’s a bullied adult. Merry Christmas!
la la laNd (dec. 2) Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone star in this modern-day musical set in Los Angeles from director Damien Chazelle, who just happens to be the same guy who made Whiplash. Yeah, I’m hyped for this one.
Autumn is the intellectual antidote for big, dumb summer movies.
Miles Teller plays a boxer because there haven’t been nearly enough actors playing boxers lately.
By my count, this is the 3,212th Marvel film to be released in the last 18 months. This one stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the title character, and I think a cape comes into play somewhere in this story.
Rules doN’t aPPly (Nov. 23)
allIed (Nov. 23) Brad Pitt says, “Give me an Oscar, puh-leez!” in this period piece from Robert Zemeckis.
MoaNa (Nov. 23) This requisite animated Thanksgiving release from Disney stars the voice of Dwayne Johnson as a former wrestler with a gambling addiction, living in an apartment on Moana Lane. Oh, hold on, my bad. It’s about some mythic character in Hawaii.
RoGue oNe: a staR waRs stoRy (dec. 16) Yeah, man! Star Wars! And, as the newest trailer reveals, Darth Vader is in the house!
the fouNdeR (dec. 16)
This is the story of the guy responsible for a lot of hardened arteries and, yes, some pretty damned good French fries. Michael Keaton stars as Ray Kroc, creator of that thing called McDonalds.
PatRIots day (dec. 21) Mark Wahlberg stars, for Peter Berg once again after September’s Deepwater Horizon, in this drama about the Boston Marathon bombing.
assassIN’s cReed (dec. 21)
Michael Fassbender cashes a videogame adaptation paycheck.
PasseNGeRs (dec. 21) A guy on a long space trip (Chris Pratt) wakes up a fellow passenger (Jennifer Lawrence) after the ship malfunctions and takes him out of cryo-sleep. He probably chooses her because she’s hot, and not for her abilities with a crossbow.
a MoNsteR calls (dec. 23) A monster (voiced by Liam Neeson) befriends a little boy (Lewis MacDougal) who is trying to cope with his mother (Felicity Jones) dying. This was originally set for an October release, but the studio decided to release it in December as an Oscar contender.
feNces (dec. 25) Denzel Washington directs himself in this Civil Rights drama set in the 1950’s.
Gold (dec. 25) Matthew McConaughey got himself a super bad haircut for this one about a search for gold overseas.
PateRsoN (dec. 28) Jim Jarmusch directs Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). Jim Jarmusch, ladies and gentleman. Jim Jarmusch. Ω

In the dark Restless Artists’ Theatre Company As a kid, Doug Mishler hated theater. He’d squirm in his seat, waiting for a highschool actor to forget a line. As a doctoral student at the University of Nevada, Reno in the early ’90s, while writing a dissertation on the history of the American circus, he met Clay Jenkinson, from Reno’s annual Chautauqua event, in which scholars and actors play characters from history. Soon, Mishler found himself playing P.T. Barnum in the Chautauqua. Performing suited him, so he enrolled in classes at UNR, first in acting, later in directing. Mishler—who teaches history and core humanities at UNR—is prone to speaking with the type of polished enunciation and exuberant gestures that might make people want to raise a pinky and say “theeee-ahter.” He said he fell in love with the creative challenges of directing and the process of getting all the moving parts of a production to work in harmony. “I tell my students, ‘I’m an egotistical maniac, and I love yelling at people,’” he added with a laugh. In 2004, he began working with Reno Little Theater as a director. Now, 40 plays later, Mishler is chair and managing director of the new Restless Artists’ Theatre Company. RAT, as company members—who’ve nicknamed themselves “The RAT Pack”— like to call it, opened in August in a one-storefront strip mall in Sparks, a former zumba studio. The cinder-block facade is magenta and primary blue. The interior includes rat prints painted on the lobby floor and a 60-seat performance space. “It was very intimate and up close—and frightening,” said actor Terri Rondulait,

about performing in such a compact space. She played Claire, “a 70-year-old artificial consciousness developer” in RAT’s inaugural production, Uncanny Valley. Until performing here, she’d only performed on stages such as the one at Hug High School, where, she said, “The audience is quite removed.” She called her experience performing at RAT “incredible” and reported positive feedback from audience members about how intimate the play felt. Mishler said RAT will specialize in plays that are “stranger, more modern things that are not done as much. We wouldn’t mind doing shows that people come out and go, ‘That was close to offensive,’ because it’ll make people think.” While he said he would consider creative adaptations of older works—for example, he gave high marks to a New Orleans company that re-set Waiting for Godot on a flooded stage, post-Katrina—he intends to focus mostly on new works. “We’ll do a lot of dark comedies,” he said. The fall season includes The Behanding in Spokane by Martin McDonagh, who wrote the script of the film In Bruges. It’s about a man who tortures two people in a hotel room because he believes they’ve taken his hand. Also coming up are Grand Concourse, a tragicomedy set in a soup kitchen, and November, a David Mamet play set in the Oval Office and timed for election season, which opens with a terribly unpopular president asking, “Why don’t we have any money?” to which a staffer replies, “Everybody hates you, sir.” As for the future, Mishler said, “I just want us to get better all the time. We want to put ourselves under tremendous pressure to be the best artists we can be.” Ω
Restless Artists’ Theatre Company is located at 295 20th St., Sparks. The next show, Grand Concourse, opens Sept. 30. For tickets and information, visit restlessartiststheatre.org.

Antibirth
If you’re a fan of directors like David Cronenberg and Dario Argento, then you might be able to make it through this rather unpleasant horror-comedy. A party girl (Natasha Lyonne) blacks out at a rambunctious gathering and finds herself going through pregnancy symptoms shortly thereafter. Those symptoms go from standard nausea to skin peeling off and teeth falling out, and she eventually discovers there’s something well beyond standard procreating at play. Chloe Sevigny costars as a fellow low-class party girl for director Danny Perez, whose film gets progressively gross up until the really, really gross birthing scene. Argento and early Cronenberg were never my cup of tea; I just don’t get down with most body horror scenarios. That said, this film will certainly have an appeal to those who like their horror hardcore when it comes to the gore quotient. As for the story, it’s a muddled affair involving drug addicts, space aliens and Rosemary’s Baby-like setups. Don’t watch this if you hated movies like The Human Centipede, Rabid and Deep Red. If that sort of extreme horror isn’t to your liking, this is liable to put you in a really bad mood. (Available for rental on iTunes, Amazon.com and On Demand during a limited theatrical release.)

Blood Father
Mel Gibson is a fucking asshole, but he can act with the best of them. As Link, an ex-con with a tattoo parlor in his trailer and a missing daughter (Erin Moriarty), he’s a stunning, grizzly marvel—elevating mediocre material into something completely watchable. When the missing daughter gets herself into some major trouble, she comes back on the grid by giving Link a call. Having never really known his daughter, Link is determined to be the dad he never was thanks to a seven-year prison stint, and he goes into super-protective mode. The two wind up on the run from a drug cartel, and that leads to sights like Gibson on a motorcycle blowing people away with a shotgun. This is a tour de force for Gibson, whose ranting inside Link’s trailer as it is being shot to shreds just might be the best piece of acting he’s ever put forth. Director Jean-Francois Richet lucked out in casting Gibson as this character desperately in search of redemption. It suits Gibson very well at this time. William H. Macy is reliably good as Link’s sponsor. Moriarty holds her own against the insane Gibson, and Michael Parks kills it as a former friend and true bastard. If you should choose to watch it, I think you’ll be surprised. (Streaming on iTunes and Amazon. com during a limited theatrical release.)

Don’t Breathe
Three dimwits (Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette and Daniel Zovatto) try to rob a blind military veteran (a growly Stephen Lang) of his dough in his house. In the course of their heist, they find out a few really bad things about the guy, including his aspirations to be the next Jigsaw (the presently retired, ridiculous villain from the Saw series). Rocky (Levy, who also starred in Alvarez’s Evil Dead) wants to get out of Detroit and move to California with her little sister. She and her boyfriend (Zovatto) have been pulling off minor robberies with Alex (Minnette), using alarm codes from his dad’s security company. They get wind of a boatload of money in the blind man’s house and set out to rob him while he’s home. Yes, the premise is interesting, but things go off the rails pretty quickly when The Blind Man—that’s his actual character name—somehow survives a gassing and interrupts the robbery. His initial thwarting of the break-in is convincing enough, but then the movie becomes all about the robbers standing still while The Blind Man races right by them.

Hell or High Water
Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine and Ben Foster all destroy their parts in this absolutely terrific modern Western from director David Mackenzie. Pine and Foster play two brothers who come up with a bank-robbing scheme to save the family farm, and Bridges is the soonto-be-retired sheriff trying to stop them. Pine takes his career into all new territories with
his work here, making you forget he’s Captain Kirk and totally disappearing into his part. Foster, an actor I couldn’t stand when he was younger, just gets better and better with each film, with this being his best work yet. Pine is supposedly the more sensible one, while Foster is the nut. What’s great about the writing here is how those roles sometimes switch, and the acting by both makes it mesmerizing to watch. What else can you say about Bridges at this point? He’s one of the best actors to have ever walked the Earth, and this further cements that fact. Mackenzie, whose most notorious prior film was the underrated Starred Up, takes a step into the elite class with this one. His staging of car chases and manhunts is nerve-shredding .

Sausage Party
While director Luke Scott definitely shows he’s inherited some of his dad’s helming chops, for Morgan, an ultimately derivative script hampers his feature directing debut. The son of the great Ridley Scott shows some major visual flair and an ability to draw good performances from his cast, but the movie itself, with Dad producing, is a pastiche of other science fiction and horror films, most notably his dad’s own Blade Runner. Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy) is an artificially created humanlike being. (I guess that’s the best way to describe it.) She’s only five but looks like a teenager and has superior intellect and physical skills. She’s been genetically engineered to age quickly, and while she is basically a well-meaning entity, her behavioral wires get a little crossed up sometimes, resulting in violent “errors.” Morgan goes apeshit when she’s not allowed outside. This results in the character played by Jennifer Jason Leigh being on pain meds for the whole movie with a big, bloody gauze on her eye. The “corporation” that helped create Morgan sends icy company woman Lee Weathers (Kate Mara) out to assess the matter and recommend a course of action. It all leads up to a lame and unnecessary twist that diminishes the story and overall quality of the film.
Sausage Party, the animated hellcat from writer-producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, is the first big studio film in a long time with screaming levels of originality. It’s a profanity-laden, blasphemous middle finger to the movie-making establishment that thinks it’s OK to turn out sequels and comic book movies that suck as long as people shell out for them. It couldn’t be more fun, and it’s like nothing you’ve seen before. In a sunny supermarket, a bunch of vegetables, hot dogs and buns wake up and sing a happy song, convinced that today will be the day they are chosen by humans to enter the great beyond—the world on the other side of those automatic sliding doors. What they find on the other side of those doors is nonstop carnage, certain death, and a generally bad time for all things digestible. What makes Sausage Party a cut above your average stoner movie full of food items screwing and being murdered is that it’s actually a smart swipe at organized religion and politics.

Suicide Squad
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was a skunk blast to the face for most of us trying to have a good time with a superhero movie earlier this year. Suicide Squad looked like a chance to get DC movies back on the good foot. With David Ayer (Fury, End of Watch) at the helm, and a cast including Will Smith, Jared Leto and Margot Robbie, it looked like summer was due to get a fun blast of movie mischief. Suicide Squad does nothing to improve the summer blockbuster season. It actually sends a big, stinking torpedo of shit into its side, and sends the thing barreling toward the bottom of the bowl. That’s being kind. After a first half build-up/tease that does a decent job of introducing bad guy characters like Deadshot (Smith), Harley Quinn (Robbie) and the Joker (Leto), the movie becomes what can only be described as a spastic colon, resulting in that big turd referred to above.

Nick Eng layers modern production over a Brit-pop sensibility.
Roots invasion Nick Eng Sitting down with local musician Nick Eng over coffee seemed more like sitting across from a 1960s Liverpool transplant than it did sitting across from a pre-journalism major who writes original music in his spare time. The singer-songwriter embodies what the British invasion of the 1960s would look like in the 21st century, complete with the iconic mop-top haircut and a pair of sideburns that no 19-year-old should be capable of growing. The musical spirit of ’60s and early ’70s British rock is everywhere in Eng’s music, but it is the influence of the Beatles’ earliest records that comes through most prevalently. “I would say that my music has a classic sound, but with a few new elements,” said Eng. “It is music that is reminiscent of the ’60s and ’70s, but with a clean production twist and a little more bite.” In some ways, Eng’s music sounds more apropos for the Ed Sullivan sound stage than places like Rockbar Theater in downtown Reno, where Eng played in July. He endeavors to capture the atmosphere of the Beatles, but does so with some doo-wop-inspired moments and a little Best Coast-esque flair. Eng’s loyalty to the 1960s British rock and pop aesthetic treads the line of being anachronistic in the modern age, where synth pop reigns supreme. But it is by that same token that Eng is such a standout act in 2016. His faithfulness to the style offers a welcome respite to the highly processed, synth-heavy trend
PHOTO/ANNA HART
that has dominated modern pop music as of late. Even while using synthesized drums and other modern technologies, Eng has maintained the character of 1960s musicianship, but with a 21st-century polish on it. While he has only been seriously performing his music for about a year, in that time he has already played multiple shows and released a digital album of nine original tracks on Bandcamp. The eponymously titled album, which dropped this past January, explores the familiar topic of love with a bit of 1960s sentimentality and a classic feel. Currently, Eng is also working on a new EP, titled Real, Too Real. It will contain five new songs and is set to be released on Bandcamp and YouTube on Oct. 5. He’s also preparing for a show at The Jungle coffeehouse, where he will showcase songs from both his album and EP, merging live guitar and vocals with pre-recorded and synthesized tracks. Even in the short time that Eng has been performing around town, he has made a definite mark on the Reno music scene—one that shows in his nomination as a candidate in the Reno Forte Awards, an awards show whose mission is to recognize a broad range of Reno’s performing artists. Fans can go online to vote for their favorite candidates in all of the categories on the Forte Awards website before the awards show, which is set for Nov. 3. Ω

Atlantis Casino Resort Spa 3800 S. Virginia St., Reno Presentation: Girl, We Rock! by AMY ALKON
Casualties of war paint I dragged my boyfriend into the makeup store Sephora and he said, “Save your money! You don’t need any of this stuff. I like you better without makeup.” Huh? Why is there a huge makeup industry when so many men say they don’t even like makeup? A whole lot of us are in some denial about makeup. Sure, there are men who really do like women better without a drop of the stuff. Then there are those who just think they do—like the men on Reddit who posted all of these supposed “no makeup!” photos of female celebs. I particularly loved one of Jenna Jameson that a guy captioned “before all the surgeries and without makeup.” Meanwhile, tiny type below the photo lists the makeup and hair goo she actually has on. Biological anthropologist Douglas Jones finds that men are attracted to women with somewhat “neotenous” features—meaning somewhat baby-like ones like big eyes, full lips, a small jaw and chin and clear skin—which correlate with health and fertility. So, basically, what we call “beauty” is evolution’s version of a street-corner sign spinner: “Genes passed on here!!! Best babies in town!!!” In other words, makeup is fake-up—a woman’s way of making herself out to have more neotenous features and thus a higher mate value than she actually does. The male version of this is leasing a topof-the-line Tesla while living in a tent in Grandma’s backyard. So, a man will think he has an aversion to makeup, but it’s really an aversion to being deceived by it. This doesn’t mean you have to stop wearing it. Just keep in mind that—except for special occasions and those special dudes who are into your looking like your office is a pole—men generally prefer the “natural look.” Of course, the reality is, this sort of “natural” is about an hour and a dozen products away from being “au naturel.” What ultimately matters is that you don’t look so dramatically different in makeup that when your boyfriend bumps into the barefaced you at the fridge in the wee hours, he puts his hands up and yells, “Take whatever you want—just let me live!”
Buddy surfing This guy and I have been friends with benefits for six months. We were casual friends for two years prior to hooking up, but we have gotten much closer since. So, can FWB things ever turn into real relationships, or did we blow our chance? Friends-with-benefits arrangements are, to some degree, replacing dating. Unfortunately, trying to turn an FWB thing into a relationship can be like trying to return a shirt you’ve worn for a while. It’s helpful to understand what anthropologist Helen Fisher and her colleagues have discovered— that lust, love, and attachment aren’t just emotions; they are motivational systems (ultimately for the purpose of reproduction and child rearing). Lust eventually wanes (which makes sense, because “Ohhh, baby” needs to give way to feeding the baby). The neurochemistry behind lust “can trigger expressions of attachment,” Fisher explains. However, in men, high testosterone—in general or from having sex—“can reduce attachment.” This is probably more likely if a man has a “high baseline level of testosterone,” which is typically reflected in a strong jaw and chin, a muscular body and dominant behavior. Because you two were friends first and seem to care about each other, maybe you can be more than sex friends. Tell him you really enjoy hanging with him and ask whether he’d be up for more than FWB. But take the low-pressure approach. This should make you seem less desperate and possibly let him feel like having more was his idea. If he wants less, you should probably stop seeing him—at least naked—for a while. He may end up missing you, which could energize his interest in you in a way FWB tends not to do. They call it “the thrill of the chase,” not the thrill of “you can text any day at 2 a.m. and she’ll let you come over.” Ω
Featuring Keynote Speaker Dr. Angie Taylor
Every day, women routinely accomplish tasks that make our organizations, families and communities better, but seldom do we take the time to notice. We add value to the lives of those around us at work, home and play often making personal sacrifices along the way. Yet, we are much more likely to doubt our value, our worth and ourselves. Listen as we discover how the unique greatness in us brings out greatness in the people and things around us.

future, your main duty is to be in love. Rowdily and innocently in love. Meticulously and shrewdly in love. In love with whom or what? Everyone and everything—or at least with as much of everyone and everything as you can manage. I realize this is a breathtaking assignment that will require you to push beyond some of your limitations and conjure up almost superhuman levels of generosity. But that’s exactly what the cosmic omens suggest is necessary if you want to break through to the next major chapter of your life story.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What do you hope
to be when you are all grown up, Gemini? An irresistible charmer who is beloved by many and owned by none? A master multitasker who’s paid well for the art of never being bored? A versatile virtuoso who is skilled at brokering truces and making matches and tinkering with unique blends? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to entertain fantasies like these—to dream about your future success and happiness. You are likely to generate good fortune for yourself as you brainstorm and play with the pleasurable possibilities. I invite you to be as creative as you dare.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Dear Soul Doctor: I
have been trying my best to bodysurf the flood of feelings that swept me away a few weeks ago. So far I haven’t drowned! That’s good news, right? But I don’t know how much longer I can stay afloat. It’s hard to maintain so much concentration. The power and volume of the surge doesn’t seem to be abating. Are there any signs that I won’t have to do this forever? Will I eventually reach dry land? —Careening Crab.” Dear Careening: Five or six more days, at the most: You won’t have to hold out longer than that. During this last stretch, see if you can enjoy the ride more. Reimagine your journey as a rambunctious adventure rather than a harrowing ordeal. And remember to feel grateful: Not many people have your capacity to feel so deeply.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If there can be such a thing
as a triumphant loss, you will achieve it sometime soon. If anyone can slink in through the back door but make it look like a grand entrance, it’s you. I am in awe of your potential to achieve auspicious reversals and medicinal redefinitions. Plain old simple justice may not be available, but I bet you’ll be able to conjure up some unruly justice that’s just as valuable. To assist you in your cagey maneuvers, I offer this advice: Don’t let your prowess make you overconfident, and always look for ways to use your so-called liabilities to your advantage.
soon be exposed to outbreaks of peace, intelligence and mutual admiration. Sweet satisfactions might erupt unexpectedly. Rousing connections could become almost routine, and useful revelations may proliferate. Are you prepared to fully accept this surge of grace? Or will you be suspicious of the chance to feel soulfully successful? I hope you can find a way to at least temporarily adopt an almost comically expansive optimism. That might be a good way to ensure you’re not blindsided by delight.

do if your allies get bogged down by excess caution or lazy procrastination? Here’s what I advise: Don’t confront them or berate them. Instead, cheerfully do what must be done without their help. And what action should you take if mediocrity begins to creep into collaborative projects? Try this: Figure out how to restore excellence, and cheerfully make it happen. And how should you proceed if the world around you seems to have fallen prey to fear-induced apathy or courage-shrinking numbness? My suggestion: Cheerfully kick the world’s butt—with gentle but firm good humor.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Brainwashing” is a
word with negative connotations. It refers to an intensive indoctrination that scours away a person’s convictions and replaces them with a new set of rigid beliefs. But I’d like to propose an alternative definition for your use in the coming days. According to my astrological analysis, you now have an extraordinary power to thoroughly
wash your own brain—thereby flushing away toxic thoughts and trashy attitudes that might have collected there. I invite you to have maximum fun as you make your inner landscape clean and sparkly.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): My astrological
divinations suggest that a lightning storm is headed your way, metaphorically speaking. But it shouldn’t inconvenience you much—unless you do the equivalent of getting drunk, stumbling out into the wasteland and screaming curses toward heaven. (I don’t recommend that.) For best results, consider this advice: Take shelter from the storm, preferably in your favorite sanctuary. Treat yourself to more silence and serenity than you usually do. Meditate with the relaxed ferocity of a Zen monk high on Sublime Emptiness. Got all that? Now here’s the best part: Compose a playfully edgy message to God, telling Her about all the situations you want Her to help you transform during the next 12 months.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Novelist Tom Robbins said this about my work: “I’ve seen the future of American literature and its name is Rob Brezsny.” Oscar-winning actress Marisa Tomei testified, “Rob Brezsny gets my nomination for best prophet in a starring role. He’s a script doctor for the soul.” Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Jason Mraz declared, “Rob Brezsny writes everybody’s favorite astrology column. I dig him for his powerful yet playful insights, his poetry and his humor.” Are you fed up with my boasts yet, Sagittarius? I will spare you from further displays of egomania under one condition: You have to brag about yourself a lot in the coming days—and not just with understated little chirps and peeps. Your expressions of self-appreciation must be lush, flamboyant, exultant, witty and sincere.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): By normal
standards, your progress should be vigorous in the coming weeks. You may score a new privilege, increase your influence or forge a connection that boosts your ability to attract desirable resources. But accomplishments like those will be secondary to an even more crucial benchmark: Will you understand yourself better? Will you cultivate a more robust awareness of your strengths and weaknesses, your needs and your duties? Will you get clear about what you have to learn and what you have to jettison?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’m confident that
you would never try to sneak through customs with cocaine-laced goat meat or a hundred live tarantulas or some equally prohibited contraband. Please use similar caution as you gear up for your rite of passage or metaphorical border crossing. Your intentions should be pure and your conscience clear. Any baggage you take with you should be free of nonsense and delusions. To ensure the best possible outcome, arm yourself with the highest version of brave love that you can imagine.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Should you be
worried if you have fantasies of seducing a deity, angel or superhero? Will it be weird if some night soon you dream of an erotic rendezvous with a mermaid, satyr or centaur? I say no. In fact, I’d regard events like these as healthy signs. They would suggest that you’re ready to tap into mythic and majestic yearnings that have been buried deep in your psyche. They might mean your imagination wants to steer you toward experiences that will energize the smart animal within you. And this would be in accordance with the most exalted cosmic tendencies. Try saying this affirmation: “I am brilliantly primal. I am wildly wise. I am divinely surprising.”
You can call Rob Brezsny for your Expanded Weekly Horoscope: (900) 950-7700. $1.99 per minute. Must be 18+. Touchtone phone required. Customer service (612) 373-9785. And don’t forget to check out Rob’s website at www.realastrology.com.

The upturn’s downside
What’s wrong with it?
Mike Thompson
What’s ACTIONN? ACTIONN works with people of faith and other folks in the community to develop grass roots leadership and to campaign for issues of social, economic and racial justice.
What’s gentrification? Outdated and unjust community development practices and principles and policies.
How would builders define it? Well, it depends, I guess. You know, I think some builders would define it the
PHOTO/DENNIS MYERS
Gentrification is usually defined something like this: renovation of deteriorated neighborhoods to attract more affluent tenants, increasing property values but removing small businesses and lowincome families. With the approach of a population rise in the Truckee Meadows as a result of incoming large corporations, a campaign— ACTIONN Against Gentrification— has begun to block gentrification. Mike Thornton, executive director of Acting in Community Together in Organizing Northern Nevada (ACTIONN) is a leader of that campaign.
way I just defined it, in fact. Many communities across the country are rejecting those old sort of ways of doing community development and understanding that socially equitable development, economic integration, mixed-use development, affordable housing, walkable communities, amenities that everyone can take part in are really the keys to building long term sustainability and sustainable economies. … There might be some who would say, “Well, you know, we’re going to have a lot of fancy, expensive places for fancy, expensive people to live, and that’s a good thing and, you know, people who aren’t fancy and expensive will just need to find somewhere else to live.” We just don’t think that’s a good way to do development, and it’s certainly not morally or ethically or even economically justifiable.
Well, I think if you look in terms of—you have existing communities. They become desirable for any number of reasons, usually because property values have been depressed over the years, often because of slumlords and just really not maintaining the area, and so they become desirable. And people move in, people with means and political clout and money, and then the people who live in those communities are pushed out because they don’t have money, and they don’t have political clout. I mean, no one is opposed to getting rid of blight or some of the deplorable living conditions that people are living in. But the question is, how do we do that in a way that develops the city for all people, and not just a small group of people. Where do these people go? As you know, there are some 3,200 people living in weekly motels, and they’re deplorable. Why have they been allowed to be this way for so many years? … The conditions in these weekly motels that elderly, disabled, veterans, even children, working families are living in, they’re deplorable. Everybody knows they’re deplorable. They’ve been allowed to be deplorable for a long time. Now that the economy is turning and more people want to live in the downtown core of not just Reno but in cities all around the country, many of these weeklies are being eyed to be demolished. They should be demolished. But where do the people go? What happens to them? Ω
by BRUCE VAN DYKE
Star-spangled Kap One of the best descriptions I’ve ever heard about the Burning Man experience was spoken a couple of years ago by a fellow who had just returned from Da Playa. In the course of us trading tales about the Burn of ’14, he said, “You know, what I discovered about living out there is that Black Rock City is one of the few places in the world where you can act like a real human being.” I asked him to elaborate, and he explained that, on the streets of BRC, you can smile at strangers and greet them without feeling like a fool or a weirdo or a freak. That you can get into a conversation while standing in line to take a leak, and it just might turn out to be the best conversation you have that week—or that year! Yes, the spectacular stuff is spectacular, and the art ranges from the sub-lame to the sublime, but,
for him, it was the simple, human moments that really stuck. But I wonder what the B-Man Brain Trust can do about the traffic, which is now firmly entrenched in the OMFG zone. From reading the traffic Twitter updates—and no, I didn’t go out this year—the travel scene on Labor Day afternoon was such outrageous gonzo gridlock that the dudes posting the tweets just basically began to beg people to forget it and leave on Tuesday. What possibly can be done about this nightmare? * I can’t stand it. After listening to all these media bucketheads poop in their pants about Kap’s Star-Spangled protest, I just have to remind people—and I realize I’m preaching to an educated, well-informed choir in This Space—that Kap’s kneeldown during The Anthem is not about dissing (1) the military, (2) the flag, and (3) the memory
of those who died on September 11. OK? Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ. All he’s doing, as far as I can tell after reading his comments, is protesting the shooting and killing of unarmed black men by racist and/or terrified cops. That’s it. And goddammit, that is indeed something to protest. What then amazes me is not that Kap is doing what he’s doing, but that he’s basically doing it by himself. I mean, for fux sake, there are around 1,700 players in the NFL and at least 1,100 of them are black, and none of these guys gave a damn about rogue cops murdering Laquan McDonald in Chicago, Tamir Rice in Cleveland, and Freddie Gray in Baltimore? We shall see, as more may join in. In the meantime, Kap has managed to do the unlikely—inject actual interest into our tired old boring national anthem. Ω
