First class Welcome to this week’s Reno News & Review.

One recent afternoon, I had the great pleasure of speaking to Miss Horne’s fifth grade class over at Mount Rose K-8 Academy of Languages, conveniently located just three blocks from the RN&R office. My stepdaughters attend elementary school there—including Josephine, who’s in Miss Horne’s class— and I was there to describe my job to the class for career day. It was a hoot.

I’ve taught some university courses the last few years, and talking to fifth graders is both remarkably similar and distinctly different from teaching undergrads. The fifth graders are much quicker to shoot their hands up with enthusiastic questions.

One student told me that he reads the paper every week, which was nice to hear. I’m not always sure we’re reaching that younger demographic.

“I saw a cartoon in there that was all about making fun of Donald Trump,” said one boy sitting near the front. “Who gets to do that job?” He was grinning hopefully, like I might hire him on the spot.

“Does Josephine like to read the paper?” asked one girl.

I replied that she did, especially when I wrote about her. And I promised the class that the RN&R was their source for all the local news, arts reporting, and all the latest gossip about Josephine.

She later suggested that I be sure to write about my visit to the class, so that she could tell her classmates, “Be sure to check out the Brad Bynum section of the Are Inn And Are.” Anyway, it was a real pleasure to visit the class, and I want to thank Miss Horne for having me, and the students for tolerating me.

And here it is: Despite repeated admonishments over the weekend, Josephine still needs to clean her room. It looks like a disaster area in there.

Holland buses Re “Buses taking ‘locals’ to Tesla” (Erik Holland cartoon, Feb. 16): I was a little surprised that you would publish Erik Holland’s cartoon depicting buses full of, what I assume are, based upon his fake Asian characters in the speech bubbles, Asian immigrants.

Although I believe in free speech, to publish such a cartoon without empirical substantiation is questionable.

This cartoon propagates a notion that is based upon his own observations or beliefs. If it is based upon empirical evidence, it should be stated somewhere. However, if it is not, as a source of news and information, you are promoting “alternative facts” and xenophobia. This is a problem, as people that are uneducated or uniformed may assume the cartoon to be conveying “truth.”

Just because the artist is a famous local, does not mean that his opinions should not be based upon reality.

Eric Lin Reno Re “Buses taking ‘locals’ to Tesla” (Erik Holland cartoon, Feb. 16): To whom it may concern, RN&R’s most recent edition had an image created by artist Erik Holland that I found quite offensive.

The political cartoon showed a bus taking “local” workers to Tesla, and the text was an abhorrent attempt at writing Chinese characters.

I work at two different Chinese restaurants part time while at the University of Nevada, Reno studying for my masters. Having such contact with the Chinese community in Reno, I have had the pleasure of meeting many of the workers through my work that actually have been hired by Tesla. I do not know a single one that is not an American citizen. I find Erik’s picture xenophobic, ignorant, and uninformed. I see no point in ostracizing a part of our community in such a way, and think that it is unfortunate that such dialogue has been included in what otherwise is a journal quite aware of the diversity we have in our community.

Although I understand that Erik is absolutely entitled to his opinions, I felt that I must voice my disapproval at what I consider an absolutely racist cartoon.

issues with a person who comes over illegally and then demands services and benefits that I would never be able to receive because I would be told I make too much money. I have an issue with someone who comes to our country but refuses to learn English and then demands that I learn Spanish or their native language. And no one has a right to come into our country. It is a privilege. But like the writer of the letter I am commenting on, it seems they lump all immigration in to one big pot.

Again, I have no problem with someone who wants to come to this country legally and then works hard to learn our language and way of life. I do have issues with illegal immigration.

your favorite woman from history? asKed at the Basement, 50 s. Virginia st.

Cr aig rosen Development administrator

How about Lucille Ball? I bet you haven’t heard that one yet. I think she made it OK for women to be funny. But she was more than that, right? She owned a studio, and she was an executive, but people didn’t see her for that.

She used her comedy to mask her intellect.

Will Compton Brand ambassador

My favorite woman from history is going to be Ellen DeGeneres. … She was the first big TV [figure] who was open about her sexuality, publicly. … She’s just a beautiful soul. … She inspired so many people with what she did. She’s confident. She’s outgoing. She’s smart.

Jim matheWson Entrepreneur

Needs, not wants In this time of tumult when critics of Donald Trump are in the street, there is a notion out there that needs to be shot down, and it is coming from Democrats. Many of them seem to believe that elected officials are supposed to represent the views of the public.

A letter to the editor in the Reno Gazette-Journal argued, “By ignoring the will of the people, [U.S. Sen. Dean Heller] is building a deficit that will eventually come due. When it does, all the big money on God’s green Earth will not help him.”

We received a letter reading in part, “Amidst the very public and international outcry against President Trump’s recent immigration ban, our country has shown remarkable solidarity. The last count I saw showed 85 airport protests in more than 40 states.”

Protest and demonstrations are enormously useful.

It’s easy to forget that before the 1960s, such events were frowned upon. Now they are a part of the political landscape, and that is as it should be. They can be used to throw spotlights on grievances and elevate issues that people in power prefer to avoid. But those who speak the loudest and meet in the greatest number are not necessarily right.

Elected officials are not supposed to represent the will of the people, which can be fleeting and changing. The notion is particularly dangerous after the 20th century’s invention of public relations techniques that make it possible to manipulate public opinion for the benefit of the few. Sometimes it is the duty of elected officials to restrain public opinion.

Nor are sheer numbers or volume of sound determinants of what the public wants. Turning out millions of people in January was healthy and productive, but those with the loudest voices are not necessarily the voice of the public.

Elected officials cannot know the will of the people.

Polls are changeable, and we have often seen the tide of opinion change. Elected officials should be representing the interests of the people, using their best judgment to determine it. And that is normally the liberal view. It was just three years ago that Democrats were outraged by Nevada Assemblymember Jim Wheeler saying he would vote for slavery if his constituents wanted it.

“You elected a person for your district to do your wants and wishes, not the wants and wishes of a special interest, not his own wants and wishes—yours,” Wheeler said in 2013. Conservative British parliamentarian Edmund Burke said in 1774, “Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment, and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion.”

Elected officials should be serving the public’s needs, not the public’s wants. And conservatives were once the first to point out the republican aspects of democracy. What is troubling about the way “Never Trump” conservatives and Republicans have shed their opposition to Donald Trump is not that they have ignored protests and demonstrations but that they have shed historic conservative principles. If Trump turns out to be what many of us fear, conservatives will have a lot to answer for because they compromised conservatism to achieve power. Ω

Do you know who Marianne Williamson is? She’s an author. She actually was considering running for president last year. Amazing woman. She’s written three or four books. I think probably the best one is called A Return to Love. … She’s very wise and spirit-driven and real—very real. austin phillips Police officer

It’d be Rosa Parks. … She made quite a statement for not only women, but for African American women at that time.

I’ve obviously never even dealt with near the struggles she dealt with, but she’s somebody who definitely sticks out in my mind—even today in 2017.

Party time at the legislature As the Nevada Legislature nears the one month mark, it’s refreshing to see the Democratic majority introduce a raft of progressive bills designed to address concerns of everyday Nevadans instead of promoting more tax giveaways for billionaires with legacy stadium projects or gigafactories. Although it’s early in the session and more tax cuts may be in the works for those at the top of the economic pyramid, one can hope that Democrats maintain their focus on what truly matters.

It’s unclear how Gov. Sandoval will receive these progressive bills should they be approved. This is a far cry from two years ago when the session began with a host of terrible ideas pushed by Republicans who controlled both houses.

Thankfully, many of those bills died before they reached the governor’s desk, victims of a chaotic and fractured Assembly caucus unable to agree on a cohesive agenda.

The 2017 Democrats have already held two hearings on bills designed to give Nevada’s minimum wage workers a

significant raise in the range of $11 to $15 an hour. The Chamber of Commerce was predictably outraged at the idea, arguing that the so-called “job creators” will selfdestruct if they have to provide a living wage to the workers who ensure their success. One worker suggested legislators try to raise a family on the current minimum wage, but there were no takers.

Raising wages at the bottom will mean more money in the economy for everyone, not just the privileged few at the top.

Several bold bills have been introduced providing a visionary energy policy for Nevada’s future. Clark County’s Assemblymember Chris Brooks wants to increase the Renewable Portfolio Standard to 80 percent by 2040, giving the renewable industry a huge boost and reducing Nevada’s reliance on fossil fuels.

Assm. Justin Watkins has a bill to prohibit hydraulic fracturing in Nevada, protecting our citizens from the negative impacts of fracking, especially on our treasured public lands.

First termer Sen. Yvanna Cancela, is thinking about how to provide women with basic health care should the Republicans in Washington be successful in repealing Obamacare and defunding Planned Parenthood. Her measure, Senate Bill 122, would establish the mechanism for Nevada to provide direct grants for family planning services such as birth control, prenatal care and STD testing and treatment.

Republicans have been busy introducing bills, too. Douglas County Assm. Jim Wheeler wants to lower the gambling age to 18 while Clark’s first term Assm.

Jim Marchant thinks a fish pedicure bill should be a priority. The usual Republican obsession with voter fraud is represented

by Reno’s own Assm. Lisa Krasner, who wants to require proof of identity when voting in person, despite no evidence of a problem at the voting booth. Meanwhile, Assm. Richard McArthur and Washoe Sen. Don Gustavson want English to become the official language of Nevada, seemingly oblivious to its current premier status.

To highlight the differences between the two parties, Senate Republican leader Mike Roberson of Clark County has purposely embraced a set of bills deeply offensive to the Democratic psyche, designed to give him a platform to stay relevant in a session essentially between the governor and the Democrats. Roberson has once again changed his chameleon political personality and now resembles the Roberson we met in 2011, exhibiting a mean uber-right persona instead of the 2015 version of a reasonable Republican concerned about quality education. This year, Roberson is recycling failed legislation from the past, such as weakening the public retirement system and taking public lands away from the public. He rather viciously wants to outlaw sanctuary status for undocumented immigrants in any city or county in the state, even if local officials pass their own ordinances.

Progressives would do well to avoid being sucked into the vortex of his faux outrage, which just feeds his insatiable need for attention. Ω

Time for pension changes Progressives love to attack private business for perceived market failures, demanding more openness and transparency in dealings with the public. They complain that corporations design complex financial instruments, subsidiary holding companies, offshore accounts, and other secret devices to hide their accountability.

A corporation’s first duty is to its stockholders, and so these veils are somewhat understandable. Government’s first duty is to the public, but progressives are eerily silent about the deceptions that governments and public agencies use to hide their real spending, assets and debts from the eyes of the taxpayers.

The Nevada Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) has fought in the courts three times to hide its retirees records from public scrutiny. It lost a suit bought by the Reno Gazette-Journal for these records in 2011, and then the appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court in 2013. Then in 2015 they went to court

and lost again, this time to the libertarian think tank, the Nevada Policy Research Institute. PERS is appealing that decision.

The public’s right to know the facts about public pensions in Nevada is tied up in court by a secretive PERS. Retirement plans are funded to about 30 percent by contributions but then are supposed to cover their liabilities by the interest on their investments. The gold standard is to get 8 percent per year return on investment (ROI). Over the last 10 years, state and local pension funds have averaged less than 7 percent. Some states have averaged much less. This means that their debt liabilities are dangerously high.

The safest way to insure the magical 8 percent-a-year return used to be to invest in 30-year government bonds. However, since the 1990s, inflation and artificially low interest rates caused by the Federal Reserve’s money creation, like Quantitative Easing 1 and 2, has resulted in expensive bonds with very low yields. Inflation helped the tech boom in the go-go ’90s but then

the 2007 bust turned lights out on the party.

The response of the government was more inflation because that’s how government rolls. The one percent decided to bail out the financial system instead of allowing a natural sharp downturn with some big names going under followed by a robust recovery.

The bailouts and fed money pumping resulted in a recession that did not clear out much financial deadwood except for foreclosures on average homeowners. The Obama recovery is the slowest, most sluggish of any in American history.

To compensate for the declining Treasury bond returns, pension funds have purchased high yield but riskier investments. Nevada’s pension fund liability is currently ranked 26th in the country.

The riskier, more volatile assets in PERS means that the portfolio value fluctuates from year to year. Accountants take a five year average, but the uncertainty over the actual real time valuation instead of actuarial value of PERS means the target ROI should be 8.6 percent instead

of 8 percent, as a hedge against uncertainty. Since the assets are only yielding about 6.5 percent, this increases the gap between what PERS claims to own and the market reality.

Nevada may not be the worst state, but it is in bad shape. California is in horrible shape. Too many retired public employees in the Golden State are pulling down outrageous six figure pensions. (Then they move to Nevada and vote Democratic.)

Nevada taxpayers need to support pension reform in this legislature. The ideal would be to convert the pension system from defined benefits to defined contributions like most ordinary citizens have. With Democratic control of the legislature, pension reform may be an uphill battle. But it is a battle that the 2017 Legislature has to fight. Ω

Homework assignment One of our readers, Dewey Quong, wrote us a letter to the editor assigning us some work to do. He was commenting on Sheila Leslie’s Feb. 16 column in which she wrote, “The 2015 legislation set aside about $5,100 per student in each voucher, far less than the cost of tuition of most private schools in Nevada, essentially turning the program into a subsidy for wealthy families, many of whom already send their children to private school.”

Quong wrote, “Is that fact or opinion? It is time for some hard numbers. Call up the local elementary, secondary and high schools to see how much they charge per student to attend. Include supplemental costs/fees not included in the tuition like uniforms, individual computers/tablets, books, lab supplies, etc. Ask the schools what they think the family should be earning to comfortably afford to send their children to that school. Also include how many hours each parent must give back to the school, like to help supervise field trips, work the counter at bake sales, etc. Now find out the average take-home pay of all the working people in Nevada who have children including those families living in motel rooms. Take the average take-home pay and minus the cost of living in Nevada for housing, food, clothing, transportation and other expenses required to live in the state. Put everything in nice columns and rows and show the percentage of people who can and can’t send their children to voucher schools.”

We’re not going to gather all this, some of which does not exist, but here are a few statistics that might be helpful to readers: According to the Nevada Department of Education, the average cost allocated to pupils in Nevada during the current school year is $5,774. In Clark County, where most students live, it is $5,574. In Washoe, it is $5,658.

Smaller counties tend to receive more, with one exception (Lander). In three counties, the allocation reaches five figures. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average national per-pupil spending is $10,700.

Shortly after the Nevada school grants program was enacted by the 2015 Nevada Legislature, we reported (“Working Poor Left Behind?” Aug. 13, 2015) that American Enterprise Institute researcher Nat Malkus wrote in U.S. News & World Report, “But market-based reforms depend on a functionally competitive market, and educational savings accounts alone cannot guarantee that. … My colleague Elizabeth English and I conducted a randomized survey of half of Nevada private schools (enrolling 50 or more students in 2011-12). The median private school was just over $8,000. Less than 20 percent of schools had tuitions below $5,200, and a quarter had tuitions below $5,700. On the one hand, these tuition prices bode well for a viable school choice market, because some options can be had with the educational savings account alone. On the other, families that can’t afford to supplement their accounts will be priced out of over half of Nevada’s private schools at current tuition rates.”

On Oct. 29, Trevon Milliard reported in the Reno Gazette-Journal that “only 7 percent of students applying for the money live in areas reporting low household income, while nearly a third of takers reside in the state’s richest zip codes where median household incomes exceed $75,000 at the least. A vast majority of applicants—80 percent—live in neighborhoods where median household incomes outpace the state median of $51,000, according to the Reno GazetteJournal’s analysis of information released about the 3,000 students seeking public money for private school.”

health insurance). In a session with a double Republican majority, it was given one hearing and never heard from again.

The movement picked up steam in the presidential campaign when candidate Bernie Sanders campaigned against “totally inadequate wages.”

Paradoxically, when the minimum wage issue was riding high and enjoying momentum, a Nevada initiative petition to boost wages was withdrawn from circulation.

PenDing ProPosals

Minimum Wages stagnate under the federal threshold During this week in 1933, a debate was going on in the Nevada Legislature over the minimum wage. The Nevada Assembly approved a $5 a day minimum compared to the Senate’s $4 a day.

A $4 a day wage would have been $0.50 cents an hour for an eight hour day. If adjusted for inflation over the years, it would now be $9.34. A $5 daily wage would have been $0.625 an hour. In 2017 dollars, that would be $11.67.

In fact, today’s federal minimum is $7.25 an hour—and it was raised to that level eight years ago. The federal minimum has not kept up with inflation in years.

In Nevada, the minimum wage is $8.25. Nevadans voted in 2006 to make the state wage one dollar higher than the federal minimum. That gives workers some relief, but it is still tied to a federal minimum that chronically lags.

(Employers who provide health insurance are immune from the extra dollar.)

A nationwide effort for a $15 minimum wage has been underway for several years. The Fight for 15 campaign began on the east coast, particularly New York, but scored its biggest breakthroughs in the West.

In 2014, Seattle became the first city to enact a $15 an hour minimum.

After two years, a Seattle Minimum Wage Study Team at the University of Washington posted a study indicating that the hike did what it was supposed to do—raising pay while causing few job losses and increasing the annual income even of workers who lost hours. The business community went to work trying to discredit the study.

At the 2015 Nevada Legislature, Clark County Sen. Richard Segerblom introduced a $16 minimum measure ($15 for employers with

At the current Nevada Legislature, an Assembly measure would increase the minimum wage by $1.25 per hour each year until 2022 when it would hit $15 if an employer does not offer health insurance, $14 if s/he does.

A Senate bill raises the minimum 75 cents per hour annually until it hits $11 an hour with insurance, $12 without.

This gradualism is not popular among some higher wage advocates. One Nevada Bernie Sanders campaign official said the $15 wage is needed now and that by 2022 “some of the raise will be eaten up” by inflation.

They also say Nevada’s economy is hampered by the low minimum because consumer spending lags.

“Local businesses, our state’s economy, and, most importantly, everyday Nevadans will benefit from a pay raise,” said Assemblymember William McCurdy, sponsor of the Assembly version.

The business community is making its customary arguments against the minimum wage.

“Nevada’s minimum wage proposal would turn some low-margin small businesses in the state into the new victims of dramatic minimum wage hikes,” wrote Employment Policies Institute research directory Michael Saltsman in a Las Vegas Review-Journal essay. “The result would be fewer job opportunities for those who need not only a paycheck

but also the structure, skills and workplace Columnist Thomas Mitchell argues socialization that comes with learning on the state minimum cannot be raised the job. The Silver State should focus on without constitutional change. He quoted preserving these entry-level employment a 2015 Legislative Counsel Bureau fact opportunities, not threatening to eliminate sheet: “Because provisions governing the some of them and exacerbate its high minimum wage rate are included in the youth unemployment rate with Constitution, any changes to the a dramatic minimum wage minimum wage provisions increase.” require a constitutional But today’s $7.25 amendment.” federal minimum is A statement from actually lower in the governor’s real dollar terms office recited a list that it has been of reasons Gov. several times Sandoval has in the last half opposed a higher century.

The building, designed in the 1920s in a Classical Revival style, served many people who came to Reno to establish their residences for quick divorces. “The California Apartments drew a high-class clientele from among locals and divorceseekers,” according to a Mella Harmon essay at RenoHistorical.org.

RESIST A guide to fighting, rejecting and enduring Trump

R

ecently my husband and I talked about what the next four years will bring, and the threat of nuclear annihilation—you know, lighthearted stuff. Like everyone else, the crappy place we’ve found ourselves in takes up a lot of my brain space. As Donald Trump’s presidency continues, I have a ways to go to put things in perspective, but I’ve managed to make sense of a few things so far.

While Trump is unprecedented in terms of mental instability and moral bankruptcy, living under a president I find disappointing is nothing new. The problem is that eight years of a rational actor has spoiled me, and going back to the old way feels like being plucked from a healthy, supportive family and placed with a group of serial abusers.

The first presidential election I was old enough to understand involved the re-election of Ronald Reagan, who, at that point, had early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. After that was a series of Bush administrations, with the exception of a decent Clinton interlude marred by Bill’s bad behavior.

These past eight years under President Barack Obama made us complacent, which can’t happen again.

Surviving this means being kind to one another and supporting groups and institutions that will make a difference.

With that in mind, subscribe to media sources that fact check their news. Journalism is expensive, and ensuring smart people can focus their time and energy on the truth right now is invaluable.

Or, if you’re looking for other ways to spend your money wisely, donate to the likes of Planned Parenthood, the Southern Poverty Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union—they all need your help.

Also, be sure to Google things before you share them online, being careful not to reinforce your biases. I’m still seeing so much “news” being shared that is either questionable or just blatantly false.

I know it feels good but it’s also dividing us. We have such a beautiful and easy research tool at our disposal. Use it.

If it all feels overwhelming then think about this: On NPR the other day, I heard someone say the Democrats have a head wound while the GOP has a terminal disease. I believe this. Young people are increasingly liberal, and, as this horror show progresses, the GOP is putting itself in a box that they may well not climb out of.

As the next four years unfold, calling your elected representatives, volunteering and engaging in our system of government will be vital and will (excluding nuclear annihilation) make us stronger in the long run.

Unfortunately, it is my belief that Americans on the whole don’t want to be bothered. Though we’ve suffered and will continue to suffer through myriad social and economic challenges, we haven’t had a draft since the 1970s. If the Donald really pushes and jeopardizes American safety, however, the shit will hit the fan.

Speaking of the big D, I wonder how long before Americans start tuning out his personality? We need to watch what he does—not what he says, no matter how shocking. Not only do Americans not want their safety threatened, they also don’t have the attention span to focus on anyone for four years. There’s no such thing as being consistently outrageous, I don’t care who you are, Donald Trump included.

To my politico friends: I would love someone to weigh in on what happens when a president tweets whatever the fuck he wants whenever he wants. Our system of government is only effective to the degree that it works. When the president says whatever, whenever and politicians have to react, then what?

Even the past GOP administrations were led by statesmen experienced enough to not run their mouths and start conflict before they even took office.

Finally, on a related note, even though I’m not taking my own advice, a social media diet is in order.

Especially before bed.

I also don’t recommend watching A Boy and His Dog at any point in the next four years, no matter who recommends it to you. Ω Liv Moe is an artist and curator in Sacramento.

Chill out, be strong Four ways weed can help you overthrow the orange patriarchy

by Ngaio bealum

For those of us with progressive ideals and radical leanings, life under President Donald Trump is going to be a demonic, frothy and endless stream of stress-inducing policies, tweets and (dis)appointments.

It will also be a time of protests, organizing, and general grassroots badassery. Fortunately, in 2016, the smart citizens of the great state of Nevada saw fit to legalize cannabis—proving once again that the universe has a weird sense of humor.

In other words we’re probably going to need all the weed Nevada can grow in order to be able to stare fascism in the eye and say, “This oppression will not stand, man.”

With that in mind, here are five ways to use cannabis to keep your spirit strong and your mind calm:

3. Get a massage: Cannabis-infused

oils to the rescue! Healing touches are just the thing to help you decompress.

4. Smoke with friends: Friends are

toke a bowl, do a dab, have a cookie.

Whatever your usual method of consumption is, have at it. I recommend an indica-dominant hybrid like Lavender, or even a heavier pure indica like Romulan or Bubblegum.

Sit on your couch. Breathe. Relax.

awesome! Invite your friends over to smoke a doobie and make a cannabis-infused meal. Cooking with cannabis is easy. Making cannabis-infused butters and oils is a simple task, and a good meal with good friends is a time-honored way to relieve stress, increase joy, and plot subversive actions aimed at overthrowing the patriarchy. Ω

2. Take a bath: A good, long soak in a hot tub does wonders for the body and spirit. Sit-ins and protest

marches can wreak havoc on the feet and the posterior. Carrying protest signs is hard on the triceps. Get a cannabis-infused bath bomb or some bath salts, put on some Mariah Carey or maybe some Zap Mama, and let all your worries float away.

Soak it in. Smoke another joint. Plan the resistance. You could even make your own bath salts if you’re crafty like that. Check out tips via www. cannabischeri.com/lifestyle/diy/ how-to-make-marijuana-bath-salts.

Combat roCking ro the resistanCe resistan The president may be a-changin’, but this soundtrack borrows from the past to motivate a better future

by Raheem F. hosseini •

ra h e e mh @ newsr ev iew.c o m

At least the music will be good.

That’s the shoulder-shrugging sentiment that always gets dispensed during punishingly hard times.

It’s a faded silver lining, to be sure: “Hey, cops are beating black people in the streets and we’re barreling into an avoidable conflict that will slaughter hundreds of thousands and empower a paranoid autocrat who’s obsessed with his image into fueling the Cold War, but did you hear that Dylan went electric?

So worth it.”

Yeah, that was the ’60s I was referring to, but you know what they say: Everything old is new and terrible again. The next four years are going to suck for anyone who isn’t already (a) rich, (b) white and/or (c) male, as Trump assembles his cabinet from Dick Tracy’s rogues gallery, continues to lick the boots of international tyrants, appears increasingly unhinged in person and on social media, and plagiarizes his domestic agenda from every James Bond villain ever. (More nukes! Kill sick people! Cook planet!)

And since we’ve already decided to remix the worst of the past century into a poison cocktail of unimaginable consequence, there’s no reason we shouldn’t also recycle the soundtrack.

All the songs below were written during different eras and

aimed at different crooks, conflicts and social upheavals. But that’s the cool thing about true art—it cuts across space, time and context to speak truth to power in every moment.

At the very least, this playlist provides something to hum during the resistance.

1. “Windowsill,” Arcade Fire (2007):

Arcade Fire’s entire second album, Neon Bible, is drenched in an emerging generation’s realization that our fathers mucked everything up. Toggling between despair and resolve, the galvanizing “Windowsill” builds like a scream in weather: “I don’t wanna fight in the holy war / I don’t want the salesmen knocking at my door / I don’t wanna live in America no more.” I can relate.

2. “Hostile Gospel Pt. 1 (Deliver Us),” Talib Kweli (2007): Kweli’s blister-

ing call to consciousness at the tail-end of the Bush era covers a lot of ground—mistreated veterans, mishandled natural disasters, discriminatory sentencing—but we’ll pluck just one passage that resonates even more today: “We living in these times of love and cholera / Synonymous with the apocalypse, look up the clouds is ominous / We got maybe 10 years left say meteorologists, shit / We still waitin’ for the Congress to acknowledge this!”

3. “Changing of the Guards,” Patti Smith (2007): Smith’s shimmering

take on the mythic Dylan songpoem bridges the Bush-Obama years by warning, “Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination / Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.” We listened once.

We can again.

4. “My Favorite Mutiny,” The Coup (2006): So many gems in this

bumping challenge to get back on our feet, from, “The governments of the world is shark infested / They heavy on weaponry like Charlton Heston,” to, “If we waiting for the time to fight, these is thems / Tellin’ us to relax while they ease it in. We gettin’ greased again.” In other words, what the hell are we waiting for?

5. “One Beat,” Sleater-Kinney (2002):

From their essential post-9/11 album, SK’s three furies unleash this atomic title track, which bemoans a world of “bloody arms

and oil fields” and challenges the energy-dependent death spiral our politicians have locked us into: “If I’m to run the future / You’ve got to let the old world go.” We haven’t been able to yet.

6. “The National Anthem,” Radiohead (2000): It usually takes years for the

rest of us to catch up to the band’s ever-evolving sound, anyway.

Listen to this frantic psychodrama from the underrated Kid A and tell me Thom Yorke & Co. didn’t anticipate our post-9/11 anxiety one whole year before the towers fell.

7. “He Got Game,” Public Enemy (1998): Chuck D fuses an ingenious sample of a ’60s protest anthems with his sober rhymes. Chuck D knows all.

8. “White, Discussion,” Live (1994):

More than two decades ago, these forgotten alt-rockers imagined the polarization that fed the ugly nihilism and masked impotence of the racist alt right: “I talk of freedom / You talk of the flag / I

talk of revolution / You’d much rather brag … All this discussion though politically correct / Is dead beyond destruction / Though it leaves me quite erect.” The song culminates in an angry crash of punching guitar riffs, semi-auto drum-pops and indecipherable howls. So 2017.

9. “Hallowed Ground,” The Violent Femmes (1984): As in the first place

the bombs land. Ripped from Ronald Reagan’s first term, this one feels like an ode to Aleppo.

10. “Life During Wartime,” Talking Heads (1979): A bouncy art-house

fever dream from inside the resistance, hinting at vague domestic crises—“Heard about Houston?

Heard about Detroit? / Heard about Pittsburgh, Pa.?”—and letting the enemy know we could be anyone—“We dress like students, we dress like housewives / Or in a suit and a tie.” It’s like David Byrne is reading my emails.

11. “White Man (In Hammersmith Palais),” The Clash (1978): A great

example of art transcending its context. This slow-bobbing punk classic is a call for musical diversity in Thatcher-era England, but actually feels more prescient today. Dig these lines that could have been written about all those who voted for Trump because he was a celebrity and/or they just wanted to watch our political system crumble: “All over people are changing their votes / Along with their overcoats / If Adolf Hitler flew in today / They’d send a limousine anyway.” Actually, I believe it was a private jet.

12. “Heroes,” David Bowie (1977): After

Bowie performed this live in front of the Berlin Wall in 1987, he famously remembered being able to hear the East Germans on the other side singing along defiantly to lines about two lovers at the wall, guns shooting overhead, “And we kissed, as

though nothing could fall.” When Trump tries to build his gated community along the Mexican border, let’s play this one loud as we participate in one epic makeout session protest.

13. “The Time Has Come,” The Melodians (1972): Injecting some

much-needed love into these proceedings, the Melodians remind us of the best reason to hit the streets and march is each other.

14. “Powerman,” The Kinks (1970): Exposing that up-by-thebootstraps nonsense and showing the blue collar what happens when they elevate the rich and thankless, thinking they’ll leave anything behind.

15. “A Change Is Gonna Come,” Otis Redding (1965): Redding’s agoniz-

ing take on the Sam Cooke classic weeps for us all, and then tells us to keep moving. Will do, Otis Blue. Ω

A

century ago, Reno had around 12,000 residents, about 5 percent of its current population. But it did have an art scene.

“There were definitely people painting in Reno, and there had been for a long time,” said art appraiser Jack Bacon. He used to own Jack Bacon & Co, a gallery and framing shop on South Virginia Street, where the restaurant Feast is now.

In 1916, a landscape painter and teacher from San Francisco named Lorenzo Latimer showed up on the scene and made marks that last till this day.

From the redwood Forests …

A local painting club that started in 1921 is still going strong

Some of the members of the Latimer Art Club—“Lady” Jill Mueller, Jean Hare, club president Eileen Fuller, Howard Freidman, Maurice Hershberger, Vicki Curwen and Ronnie Rector—gathered for a reception for thier current exhibit at Sparks Heritage Museum.

Latimer was big in San Francisco in the 1890s, known especially for painting outdoors.

“As a painter constantly studying nature firsthand, Latimer demonstrated a versatility sometimes lacking in works by artists who painted mostly in their studios,” wrote Alfred C. Harrison Jr., in a 2005 monograph published by his North Point Gallery in Berkeley.

Latimer was also noted for his outlook on nature—a balance of reverence and familiarity that still defines much of California and Nevada landscape art—and his knack for accurately depicting redwood trees. By all accounts he was a well-liked teacher, and he often brought students outside to paint with him.

Eventually, his influence spread across the state line. In 1914 he forayed to a resort at Fallen Leaf Lake, near Lake Tahoe, which led to a regular practice of painting on location in the Sierras. In 1916, according to Harrison’s book, two budding painters from Reno, Dora Groesbeck and Nevada Wilson Reilly, persuaded him teach a class here.

“Almost every year for the rest of his life, Latimer would teach in Reno, usually in the early autumn,” Harrison wrote.

“It is entirely different, both very fine and a good change,” Latimer wrote to a friend about Nevada. He painted views of local landmarks such as Peavine Peak, rendering the complexity of sagebrush and desert peach with as much attention as he’d paid to the redwoods.

In 1921, his Reno students formed the Latimer Art Club.

“He would mail a painting to the club,” said Eileen Fuller, who joined in 2003 when she retired from banking and is now the club’s president. “They would have homework—to try to copy it.”

In 1931, the club joined a couple of other entities in an effort to start the Nevada Art Gallery, which would later become the Nevada Museum of Art. In the 1960s, the club and the museum parted ways. There are a few different versions of the story on record, but it’s clear that the club continued to value its traditional approach to painting, and the museum wanted to become more cosmopolitan.

Fuller put it this way: “I think in the ’60s there was a big fallout between the museum and the club. They didn’t want the local yokels running the [place] anymore.”

Today, club members still largely produce traditional landscape paintings—but not exclusively.

“We encourage all forms of painting,” said Fuller. Members work in watercolor, oil, acrylic or pen and ink. Some use a Bob Ross type of abstraction. Others draw on influences from midcentury Californians, borrowing, say, the hazy abstract expressionism of Richard Diebenkorn or the pop realism of Wayne Thiebaud. Throughout the years, the biggest influence on club members’ work has been Latimer himself.

“You can really tell the influence of Latimer when you look at the paintings of the students,” said Bacon, who is working on a book about the painter and his protégées. “Once you know it, you can recognize them a mile away.”

Lasting infLuence One modern-day club member whose compositions, color palette and high-desert foliage still bear Latimer’s influence is “Lady” Jill Mueller.

A club member for at least a decade and a fulltime painter for 40 years, she lives in Washoe Valley with a border collie, two horses, a view of Mount Rose, and a good story about how she got her nickname.

“It started back in the ’70s, when I was down in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area somewhere and was talking with a gallery owner,” Mueller said. “He said I needed to sign my name ‘J Mueller.’” The implication was that paintings signed with a woman’s name would not be taken seriously in the market. Not only did Mueller disagree, she’d recently read in Ms. Magazine about Lady Jane Digby, a 19th-century British aristocrat.

Digby’s lovers included two kings and a president, and she was, gasp, divorced— unthinkable in her time.

“She was out of the box in an era when women didn’t get out of the box,” said Mueller.

“I went, ‘Wow, I’m impressed.’ … It’s been Lady Jill ever since.”

Mueller described what it’s like to be in the club.

“I think it’s a nice venue for growth, for camaraderie among artists,” she said. “The people, we all care about each other. It’s not ‘My work is better than yours’ or ‘I’m selling more than you.’ It’s got a different camaraderie to it.”

While some arts groups value inclusion and others prioritize mastery, the Latimer club has struck a balance between the two.

Members need to be voted in, and they find encouragement once they join.

“If someone’s work is too immature, we might vote them in as an associate member,” Fuller explained. In that case, a new member would hold off on participating in exhibits, but they’d be welcome at painting sessions and expected to polish their craft. Fuller said she only remembers that happening once in her tenure, though.

Several of the club members exhibit their work together a few times a year. Right now, the group has a few dozen pieces on display at the Sparks Heritage Museum.

The artists occasionally gather with their supplies at Galena Creek, Hidden Valley, Bowers Mansion or other outdoor spots to paint together.

“After we spend the morning painting, we’ll have a critique of what we’ve done so far, with a sack-lunch picnic kind of thing,” said Fuller.

The club also puts some efforts into professional development, that of both the University of Nevada, Reno art students to whom they provide scholarships and the members themselves.

“We’ve had art experts come in, retired teachers,” said Fuller. Examples include Ron Arthaud, a celebrated landscape painter from Tuscarora, and Howard Rosenberg, a University of Nevada, Reno professor who’s not known for being soft on students.

“We brought in paintings for him to critique,” said Fuller. “That was pretty fun. You have to have pretty thick skin. Sometimes you have to be pretty open-minded. It’s a learning process.”

a Long Legacy “Obviously we don’t have any original members,” said Fuller, of the 97-year-old club. There are about 60 altogether. Around half of those meet on a regular basis. The longest-standing member is Maxine Cook, who’s 99. (“She doesn’t attend meetings because she isn’t in good health,” said Fuller, “but she can still paint.”)

Paintings by Latimer and his first generation of students can be found in several archives, including those at the NMA, UNR and Brewery Arts Center in Carson City. The club owns some as well, and the work has enjoyed some recognition and exposure lately.

“A lot of Latimer paintings are highly collectible,” said Fuller. “So are his students’.”

They’re listed on several art auction sites.

A selection of Latimer’s landscapes was featured in the 2015 NMA exhibit, Tahoe: A Visual History, and Harrison, the scholar and gallerist from the Bay Area, came to town to give a related lecture.

As the club approaches its first century, one thing its members hope for is to return full circle to the embrace of the museum.

“Probably about 15 years ago, the club did an exhibit at the NMA,” said Fuller. “We’d like to do that again when we turn 100.” Ω

the Latimer art club’s current exhibit, truckee Meadows Reflections, is on display in the second-floor event room at the sparks Heritage Museum, 814 Victorian ave., sparks, through March 25. ask the front desk volunteers to help you find the stairs or elevator. for information about the club visit www.latimerartclub.com.

Megan O’Reilly and Maurice Harold own Pitch Black Printing, a print shop that also holds exhibits.

Ink big Pitch Black Printing Artists need printing. Photographers, for example, often want to sell high-quality prints of their work. Painters want to document original pieces for their portfolios.

While talking to artist friends, Megan O’Reilly heard them say that they weren’t always satisfied with the local options for printing. They were either getting their printing done at corporate monoliths or ordering online, which meant they weren’t always getting what they wanted, and it was always impersonal.

She and business partner Maurice Harold decided to meet that need by opening a print shop called Pitch Black Printing.

“We wanted to be a support system for our local art community,” said O’Reilly.

The duo started out with a home-based business in September 2015 and found their client list growing quickly.

“We were in my spare bedroom, and then it spilled into my living room, and then we needed a space,” said O’Reilly.

The company’s brick-and-mortar shop at 1108 California Ave. opened last June.

They offer printing services geared toward artists, like canvas printing, high quality photo prints, and artwork duplication.

“It’s fun for us when people come in and say, ‘Hey, can you do this?’” said O’Reilly. “We will figure it out.” Solving problems such as printing work that’s larger than their printing equipment, for example, has turned into something of a sport.

A few artists, including locals like Mike Lucido and A.L. Kaplan, sell prints and other artwork out of the shop. The business also hosts rotating art exhibitions on roughly a monthly basis. These tend to be a mix of solo and group exhibitions—and the curatorial approach is more

Photo/Brad Bynum

inclusive than selective. The February exhibition was a solo show by painter Kaelyn McGowen, and in March, the shop will host Level Up, a video game-themed exhibition.

Local artists like Lucido, Jeff “Metal Jeff” Rogers and Christopher Stehman will present works in a variety of media, all of it inspired by classic games like Street Fighter 2, Pac-Man and Super Mario Brothers. It’s a good theme for an art show since many artists are drawn toward video games—even if they’re not active gamers now, they played them as kids, and the imagery of games is often compelling.

The opening reception will feature music, food and playable video games.

In July, the shop plans to host a “tiny art” exhibition for Artown.

“We get to see so much cool stuff,” said O’Reilly. “It actually blows all of our extra cash, because we print something, and then we want one and buy it right back from the artist. … My background is in electrical wholesale and lighting and things like that, so I’m used to working with contractors and people like that. It is so much cooler working with creative people because it’s just a different energy.

Everyone gets excited about everything.”

Of course, Pitch Black Printing also provides printing services—like business cards, wedding invitations, birth announcements and engagement photos—that nonartists might need. They printed the menus for the local restaurant Feast, for example.

But artists sometimes need those services too.

“It’s been kind of neat because people come in to get their fine art prints done, and eventually they say, ‘I should probably get some business cards,’” said Harold.

“OK, we’ll do that. ‘Stickers?’ We’ll do that too.” Ω Pitch Black Printing hosts Level up, a video game-themed exhibition, with a reception march 11 from 6 to 9 p.m. For more information, visit pitchblackprintingco.com.

The Great Wall

Matt Damon stars in this mess, and this may very well represent the low point of his career, a career that has included the atrocious Jason Bourne and Hereafter.

He probably thought he was in safe hands because The Great Wall is helmed by director Zang Yimou, maker of such masterpieces as Hero, House of Flying Daggers and—one of my very favorite movies—The Road Home. Damon was probably all like, “Hey, Yimou is calling the shots. If anything, I’m going to look good in this pic!” Then … he saw his wardrobe. A wardrobe that begins with big furry wigs and beards, and then declines into a sad man-bun wig as the film progresses. He looks silly from frame one. He sounds silly, too. He’s attempting some sort of accent here, a cross between Irish, Scottish and just plain dickweed. Every time he talks in this movie, it hurts the ears and the soul—especially the souls of those who love Matt Damon. It’s all in the service of a wannabe period epic about non-distinctive, stupidlooking CGI monsters attacking China’s Great Wall, with Damon’s character being the savior with a bow. It’s a meandering, dull, ugly waste of everybody’s time.

Hidden Figures

Katherine Johnson was part of a segregated division at NASA in the ’50s, a wing of mathematicians who did the work that computers do today. Hidden Figures depicts the humiliation she and two other historical African-American figures, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson, went through while solving equations that helped put men safely into space. The women had to put up with a lot of racist bullshit, and the film shows their hardships, albeit in PG fashion. Taraji P. Henson plays Johnson, the “smart one” astronaut John Glenn personally demanded check the coordinates before his historical flight launched.

Octavia Spencer is her usual great self as Vaughan, doing the work of a supervisor without the title and curious about that new IBM thing they just installed down the hall. Vaughan would become crucial to the implementation of computers at NASA, as well as being the agency’s first African-American supervisor. As Jackson, NASA’s first female African-American aeronautical engineer, singer Janelle Monae is so good, it’s easy to forget that this is just her second movie role. As a composite, fictional character named Al Harrison, Kevin Costner does some of his best acting in years.

La La Land

This is an all new, original musical from director Damien Chazelle (Whiplash) that’s surprisingly low on melodrama while full of vibrancy, beautiful tunes, outstanding set pieces and a stunning sense of realism for a movie where the characters bust out singing. It’s the best original movie musical ever made. The story follows wannabe actress Mia (Emma Stone) and jazz composer Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) as they try to make it in crazy Los Angeles. They meet, they don’t like each other much at first, but then they fall in love, which provides Chazelle and his performers ample opportunities for musical numbers that surprise at every turn. This solidifies Gosling as one of the best actors of his generation. Stone doesn’t just make her mark with a beautiful voice and expert footwork—she embodies the character trying to “make it” in the business.

The Lego Batman Movie

This is the great Batman story that Batman v Superman failed to be. Even better, it has Will Arnett voicing Batman with a new, super amped, still dark, but amazingly well rounded and sometimes humorous incarnation.

After all these years of dark—and admittedly sometimes brilliant—Batman movies, it’s nice to have a vehicle where we can just have fun with the character. Director Chris McKay, along with a long list of writers, has come up with a story that will please adult Batman fans as much as the kids who will most assuredly be dropped off at the local Cineplex to watch a movie while parents catch a break from the little mayhem makers. Arnett’s Batman not only faces off against the Joker (a very

funny Zach Galifianakis), but finds himself in a scenario where he’s battling a smorgasbord of movie villains including King Kong, the Gremlins, Dracula, evil British robots and Voldemort (Eddie Izzard), to name just a few. It’s a nutty plot element that also allows for Batman mainstays like Bane, Two-Face (Billy Dee Williams, who was Harvey Dent in Tim Burton’s Batman) and the Riddler (Conan O’Brien!) to get in on the act.

It’s a geek fest, a movie lover’s delight that has a funny little trivia bit at nearly every turn, and an emotional center.

Split

XX

Writer-director M. Night Shyamalan has finally made his first good movie since Signs (2002) with Split, a down-to-thebasics, creepy thriller propelled by excellent performances from James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch). The film reminds us that Shyamalan can be a capable director and writer when he’s not getting too carried away.

Taylor-Joy plays Casey, a high school outcast who attends a birthday party but soon finds herself and two classmates imprisoned by a strange man with multiple personalities (McAvoy). In addition to the angry man who kidnaps them, he’s also a stately, mannered woman, a 9-year-old child and, well, a few others. One of those other personalities plays a big part in taking the film into other realms beyond psychological thriller. McAvoy goes nuts with the role, and Shyamalan takes things into supernatural territories in a chilling climax.

Taylor-Joy is quickly becoming the new scream queen, and McAvoy’s work will surely stand as one of the year’s most fun performances.

Ines (Sandra Huller), a terse, corporate type, is busy trying to conduct international relations involving big dollars when her dad, Winfried (Peter Simonischek), shows up with a goofy wig and fake teeth as Toni Erdmann, corporate coach. He throws a wrench in the works with his prankster ways, and Ines must learn to lighten up or reject the dad. The results, while a little predictable and long-winded, are fairly interesting thanks mainly to Huller, who anchors the sometimes silly film with a sense of realism. Her performance is top notch, and makes the film worth seeing. She also spends a good chunk of the film’s final act—which takes a major turn for the satiric—naked, which is pretty daring.

Simonischek is fun in the dad role, although his antics are sometimes a little too outrageous to buy in what is basically a serious movie about father-daughter relationships and coping in a cold business world. This movie would work fine at two hours and didn’t need nearly three to tell its story. While I’m not convinced any daughter would allow her father to mess with her at work in this fashion, it is a movie where makebelieve things happen, and a nicely enjoyable one at that. It was recently announced that the film, made in Germany, will get an American remake.

Four women direct short films in this horror anthology. Most notably, Annie Clark of the band St. Vincent—my hero!—makes her film directorial debut with a segment called “The Birthday Party,” where a frantic mom (Melanie Lynskey) panics when she finds a corpse just before her child’s birthday. The segment looks great, is acted well, and features some great sound and St. Vincent music. As a piece of horror, it’s a bit of a failure—it’s more jokey than horror—but the segment does show that Clark can direct performances and pull together the technical parts. It’s just not scary. Things get creepier in an Evil Dead sort of way with “Don’t Fall,” where some desert campers come into contact with demonic forces after seeing some sketches on a stone wall. There isn’t much of a story to the segment, but the scares come fast and furious once somebody gets possessed.

The other segments, “The Gift” and “Her Only Living Son,” deal with starvation, parenthood and the antichrist, and they also have their moments. Available for download rental during limited theatrical release.

Zak Burnside El-Dib, sole member of electronic project Octophonix, has moved around a bit. Born in Austin, Texas, he grew up here in Reno and moved to Los Angeles. Despite the changes in scenery, Burnside likes to keep his output consistent, like the reliable, repetitive 4/4 bass beat of the techno he grew up admiring.

His affiliation with electronic music goes all the way back to his days in utero. His father moved to the United States from Egypt, eventually reaching Austin to start a techno club. Burnside said that while his mother was pregnant with him, she would often stand next to the bass speakers.

“So I kinda got that thump-thump in my head forever,” he said.

Growing up with parents involved in dance clubs gave Burnside access to a plethora of inspirational records. He particularly took to techno music made between 1986 and 1990, with its repetitive rhythms and catchy synth melodies.

The rhythmic patterns enthralled him the most, causing the young Burnside to tap compulsively on his knees in the classroom—like many drummers who had yet to gain access to equipment.

“Yeah, I was always one of those kids who was a tapper, you know?” he said. “Then I started out playing the drums. Then I moved to keyboard, then drum pads. Everything just evolved from there.”

Listening to Octophonix, you can still pick out a bit of the tapper in Burnside. He performs his music live on a drum pad, loaded with drum and synth samples. So, unlike with the average EDM DJ, part of his performance involves interacting with an instrument.

PHOTO/KENT IRWIN

“The pad I’m using now, I’ve been using since around 2010, 2011,” said Burnside. “It took years of building muscle memory. I had to practice at it.

I’ve definitely had some rage quits.”

After graduating from high school in Reno, Burnside left for Los Angeles, where he cut his teeth on live performance and developed his work ethic.

He found plenty of work for TV ads, radio ads and iPad games. Burnside admits that the work wasn’t altogether fulfilling, but it gave him some valuable perspective.

“Just like with anything, it’s less about creativity and more about just a drive to do something in general,” he said. “At first, getting out of your element genrewise is not fun. But the challenge became really enjoyable for me.”

Work was inconsistent in Los Angeles. For three months Burnside would work nonstop, then, for six months, he’d hit a drought. Eventually, he felt that he had learned all of the lessons the metropolis could teach him.

“At a certain point, you have to leave the dojo, you know?” he said.

Burnside moved back to Reno, where he said some of his best shows happened. At the Nevada Museum of Art, he opened for one of his personal idols, DJ Spooky.

Right now he’s planning two releases—a split tape with Reno electronic artist Tea Haze and a re-release on vinyl of his recent EP, Water Pop. In Reno he found the freedom to explore his sound in a live setting and to grow as a performer.

“It’s really fun for me,” said Burnside.

“People get into it. There’s music that sends shivers down my face. If I can even do a fraction of that for someone else, that’s what I’m in it for.” Ω

Several Octophonix tracks can be found on Soundcloud.

NEWSREVIEW.COM/RENO/CALENDAR

by AMY ALKON

A ruse is a ruse is a ruse A year ago, the woman who pet-sits for me began inviting herself over for dinner. We started going out about three times a week. I always paid for dinner. She never introduced me to her friends, wouldn’t let me pick her up at her apartment and wouldn’t let me touch her. Even a genial “thank you” touch on the arm got a grim response. Her reason: She didn’t want a relationship. I kept hoping this would change. Recently, I went on Facebook and saw that she’s been in a relationship with another man. Her response? “Well, I’m not sleeping with him, so I can see whomever I want.” After a long, demoralizing year, I ended things. Did I do right by getting out?

Consciously or subconsciously, this woman deceived you into thinking a relationship was possible—but she had help. Yours. To understand how you got tripped up, let’s take a look at self-deception—through an evolutionary lens.

Evolutionary researchers William von Hippel and Robert Trivers describe self-deception as a “failure to tell the self the whole truth” by excluding the parts that go poorly with our goals and our preferred view of ourselves. We do this through “informationprocessing biases that give priority to welcome over unwelcome information”—or, in plain English: What we ignore the hell out of can’t hurt us.

Seems crazy, huh—that we would have evolved to have a faulty view of reality? However, von Hippel and Trivers contend that the ability to selfdeceive evolved to help us be better at deceiving others—keeping us from giving off the cues we do when we know we’re putting out a big fibby. As Trivers explains in The Folly of Fools: “We hide reality from our conscious minds the better to hide it from onlookers.”

Knowing that we do this can help us remember to ask the right questions—the ego-gnawing kind—and drag the facts upstairs to consciousness and give them a long look. Nice as it is to glimpse the proverbial “light at the end of the tunnel,” it’s wise to make sure it isn’t just the one on the tip of the colonoscope.

Hyde and seek I feel that my boyfriend brings out my best self— loving, sweet, productive. In my failed marriage, my ex seemed to bring out my worst self—unstable, selfish, lazy. It’s almost as if I’m a different person with my boyfriend. But how different can I be?

There’s a term for the sort of relationship dynamics that bring out your best self—the “Michelangelo phenomenon,” coined by social psychologist Caryl Rusbult and her colleagues.

The name was inspired by the Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo’s belief that there’s an ideal figure hidden within each block of stone and that it’s the sculptor’s job to chip away the pieces around it until it’s revealed.

They find that in a relationship, two things foster your bringing out the best in each other.

One is that your partner “affirms” your values— meaning that your partner is aligned (enough) with what you care most about. This doesn’t mean they want exactly what you do—they just need to respect you for going for it. Second, they engage in behaviors that encourage you to move toward your “ideal self.” This might mean urging you to acquire new skills or, at a cocktail party, asking you about the dog-walking drone you invented while you’re standing next to that trustafarian with the tech-funding hobby.

Rusbult and her colleagues observe that when individuals in a relationship improve and grow—especially through their partners’ encouragement—it makes for a better relationship and happier partners. Conversely, when their partners are unhelpfully critical, controlling and at odds with who they are and what they want, the relationship suffers, as do those in it. Ultimately, if you say, “I barely recognize who I am with this person,” it should be a good thing—not one that leads to TV news clips of your bewildered neighbor: “We’re all just shocked. She seemed so nice, so normal. I guess she just—snapped.” Ω

FRee will astRology

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I predict that you will

have earned the title of Master Composter no later than March 26. Not necessarily because you will have packed your food scraps, wilted flowers, coffee grounds and shredded newspapers in, say, a deluxe dual-chamber tumbling compost bin. But, rather, because you will have dealt efficiently with the rotting emotions, tattered habits, decrepit melodramas and trivial nonsense that has accumulated; you will have worked hard to transform all that crap into metaphorical fertilizer for your future growth.

Time to get started!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s a good time for

you to wield your emotional intelligence with leadership and flair. The people you care about need more of your sensitive influence. Any posse or tribe you’re part of will benefit from your thoughtful intervention. So get out there and build up the group morale, Taurus. Assert your healing ideals with panache. Tamp down the insidious power of peer pressure and fashionable nonsense. You have a mandate to wake up sleepy allies and activate the dormant potential of collective efforts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you were ever in

your life going to be awarded an honorary Ph.D. from a top university, it would happen in the next few weeks. If there were even a remote possibility that you would someday be given one of those MacArthur Fellowship “genius” grants, now would be the time. Likewise if you had any hopes of being selected as one of “The World’s Sexiest Chameleons” or “The Fastest, Sweetest Talkers on Earth” or “The Planet’s Most Virtuoso Vacillators,” the moment has arrived. And even if none of those things happen, I’m still pretty sure that your reputation and status will be on the rise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’re wandering

into places you’ve always thought you should be wary of or skeptical about. Good for you! As long as you protect your innocence, I encourage you to keep exploring. To my delight, you have also been fantasizing about accomplishments that used to be off-limits. Again, I say: Good for you!

As long as you don’t overreach, I invite you to dream boldly, even brazenly. And since you seem to be in the mood for big thinking, here are other revolutionary activities to consider: dissolving nonessential wishes; transcending shrunken expectations; escaping the boring past; busting irrelevant taboos.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I did a good job of raising

my daughter. She turned out to be a thoughtful, intelligent adult with high integrity and interesting skills. But I’m not sure my parenting would have been as effective if I’d had more kids. I discussed this issue with Nathan, a guy I know. His six offspring are all grown up, too. “How did you do it?”

I asked him. “Having just one child was a challenging job for me.” “I’ll tell you my secret,” Nathan told me. “I’m a bad father. I didn’t work very hard on raising my kids. And now they never let me forget it.” In the coming weeks and months, Leo, I recommend that you pursue my approach in your chosen field, not Nathan’s. Aim for high-quality intensity rather than scattershot quantity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In her poem “Not

Anyone Who Says,” Virgo writer Mary Oliver looks down on people who declare, “I’m going to be careful and smart in matters of love.” She disparages the passion of anyone who asserts, “I’m going to choose slowly.” Instead she champions those who are “chosen by something invisible and powerful and uncontrollable and beautiful and possibly even unsuitable.” Here’s my response: Her preferred formula sounds glamorous and dramatic and romantic—especially the powerful and beautiful part. But in practice it rarely works out well—maybe just 10 percent of the time—mostly because of the uncontrollable and unsuitable part. And now is not one of those times for you, Virgo. Be careful and smart in matters of love, and choose slowly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The poet Rainer

Maria Rilke bemoaned the fact that so many of us “squander our sorrows.” Out of self-pity or lazy self-indulgence, we wallow in memories of experiences that didn’t turn out the way we wished they would have. We paralyze ourselves

with repetitions of depleting thoughts. Here’s an alternative to that approach: We could use our sadness and frustrations to transform ourselves.

We could treat them as fuel to motivate our escape from what doesn’t work, to inspire our determination to rise above what demoralizes and demeans us. I mention this, Libra, because now is an excellent time to do exactly that.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s time for the

Bliss Blitz—a new holiday just for you Scorpios.

To celebrate it properly, get as buoyant as you dare; be greedy for euphoria; launch a sacred quest for pleasure. Ah, but here’s the big question: Can you handle this much relief and release? Are you strong enough to open yourself to massive outbreaks of educational delight and natural highs? Some of you may not be prepared.

You may prefer to remain ensconced in your protective sheath of cool cynicism. But if you think you can bear the shock of unprecedented exaltation and jubilation, then go ahead and risk it. Experiment with the unruly happiness of the Bliss Blitz.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In his book

The Horologicon, Mark Forsyth gathered “obscure but necessary” words that he dug out of old dictionaries. One of his discoveries is a perfect fit for you right now. It’s “snudge,” a verb that means to walk around with a pensive look on your face, appearing to be busy or in the midst of productive activity, when in fact you’re just goofing off. I recommend it for two reasons: (1) It’s important for your mental and physical health that you do a lot of nothing; that you bless yourself with a healing supply of refreshing emptiness. (2) It’s important for your mental and physical health that you do this on the sly as much as possible; that you avoid being judged or criticized for it by others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I wish your

breakfast cereal came in boxes decorated with Matisse and Picasso paintings. I wish songbirds would greet you each morning with sweet tunes.

I wish you’d see that you have more power than you realize. I wish you knew how uniquely beautiful you are. I wish you’d get intoxicated with the small miracles that are happening all around you.

I wish that when you made a bold move to improve your life, everyone greeted it with curiosity and excitement. And I wish you would let your imagination go half-wild with fascinating fantasies during this, the Capricorn wishing season.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “You’re a different human being to everybody you meet,” says novelist Chuck Palahniuk. Now is an excellent time to contemplate the intricacies and implications of that amazing truth—and start taking better advantage of how much freedom it gives you.

Say the following statements out loud and see how they feel: (1) “My identity isn’t as narrowly circumscribed as I think it is.” (2) “I know at least 200 people, so there must be at least 200 facets to my character.” (3) “I am too complicated to be completely comprehended by any one person.” (4) “Consistency is overrated.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your immediate

future is too good to be true. Or at least that’s what you, with your famous self-doubt, might be inclined to believe if I told you the truth about the favorable developments that are in the works.

Therefore, I have come up with some fake anxieties to keep your worry reflex engaged so it won’t sabotage the real goodies. Beware of dirty limericks and invisible ladders and upside-down rainbows and psychic bunny rabbits. Be on guard against accountants wearing boxing gloves and clowns singing Broadway show tunes in runaway shopping carts and celebrities telling you classified secrets in your dreams.

Xóchítl Papalotl Ramírez is a member of the Northern Nevada American Indian Movement who helped organize the upcoming Stolen Sisters Memorial event to take place under the Reno Arch from 12 to 3 p.m. on March 5.

Tell me about the Stolen Sisters Memorial.

So, the Stolen Indigenous Folks Memorial is ... a celebration to folks that have gone missing, have been murdered or denied all throughout Turtle Island—so that stretches from north to south of this continent. What we’re trying to do is reach out to folks that have family that have experienced any of the three—and reach out to in international solidarity. …

The international movement is missing and murdered indigenous women. We have chosen to make it missing, murdered and denied indigenous folks. So we include two-spirited folks. … I’ll give you a little bit of background about the three. One of them is the murdered piece, right? It’s essentially celebrating the lives of those that have been taken from us unjustly through murder, genocide, assassination, etcetera. ... From our ancestors to current day, we’re still surviving genocide. … We’re welcoming any family locally that has lost any relative to any sort of symptom of the capitalist system. And then the missing part essentially is to cover those that have gone missing up in

so-called Klanada. There’s a Highway of Tears. … Women get picked up hitchhiking, and then they disappear. But it’s also to bring awareness to the missing indigenous women in Juarez, which not a lot of folks are aware of either. … And then the denied part goes for the indigenous folks that might not be federally recognized. So any tribe out there that is not federally recognized, this is our shout out in solidarity to you.

You actually moved the date, right?

Yes. So we have chosen to move the date of our event due to some, essentially, racism that still continues today in this city. We had planned to host this event March 4 for months. And a week ago, a member of this community—I’ll keep their name anonymous—but they decided to host a pro-Trump rally in call of so-called—quote unquote—unity.

Of course we rejected the offer to collaborate with any of those people because we believe that—first of all—the purposes of our events are completely different and—second of all—we will not unite under hate.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA EVALUATIONS

Were you asked to combine the events?

18 Clinics in California Serving the community since 2002

Yes. So in a way, to us, that is silencing, again, indigenous folks. I just really would like to stress the fact that we are peaceful people and, therefore, we decided to move our event, because we have suffered in this community acts of racist terrorism, like the one that happened on Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day.

tell your friends!

The event is just a few days after trial starts for Nicholas Mahaffey, who drove through the crowd.

And we’re also hosting a Justice for Kitty demonstration March 1. … So, essentially, we decided as a community to move our event to avoid any sort of confrontation because, again, we are peaceful people, and we don’t want to give any of these people any sort of reason to even think they can harm us, because they can’t.

Kitty [Colbert] is the woman who was severely injured in the October incident, right? Is she OK? I wouldn’t want to speak for Kitty. But I would say that, from my own personal outlook, her life has been transformed by this incident. And we love her and support her, and we continue to pray for her healing. Ω

With enemies like these Ever since the election, I’ve been kind of pissed off at America. More precisely, at 46 percent of America.

I’m guessing you’ve noticed.

But as David “Kung Fu” Carradine used to say way back when, “Expect the unexpected, grasshopper.”

And the unexpected upside in the aftermath of Trump has been the impressive, legitimate, and spirited response of Americans around the country, coming out in droves to demand that their senators and representatives give them an ear (and we ain’t paid, jerks!). I was watching a couple of guys in Iowa, giving that asshole Sen. Grassley the business about Obamacare, and I got all choked up, and it was really a nice thing to feel good about my country again and to see so many folks finally ready to hit the sidewalk and speak their minds in the midst of this blizzard of bullshit barfing out of the mouths of our now cred-free administration.

And goddammit, Republicans. quit trying to tell us the ACA is a disaster. It isn’t. A lot of us like it, even if it’s admittedly a somewhat messy beginning to something that could be buffed and taken to Next Level. But a disaster? There are MILLIONS OF US OUT HERE WHO DISRESPECTFULLY DISAGREE. You want to know what is a disaster?

How about the Rethuglican Party.

The most nutless, gutless, spineless bunch of slime-trailers in the history of air-breathing bipeds. It’s positively disgusting to see Rethuglican after Resluglican slink out the back door of a town hall, unable to stand the heat from a righteously pissed bunch of constituents.

The enemy of the people? I’ve got one for ya. In fact, the true enemy of the American people, as has been made repeatedly clear, is the Republican Party. They have been for years. And to seal this deal once and for all, the GOP did something

truly heinous. It worked actively and aggressively with a hostile nation in order to win the White House. Now that is the handiwork of an enemy.

Don’t you dare say the media is the enemy. The Rethuglicans conspired blatantly with the fucking Russians so as to procure the White House. The media is simply doing its juicy job and telling this sorry, lurid, astonishing story. Kiss my ass, Trumpolini.

Don’t get distracted by the daily parade of lightweight gaffes. It’s all about Russia. Make no mistake.

It’s time for the comprehensive TV special to put it all into focus. Trump pissed off the IC, and then, he pissed off the media. This formidable pair is more than ready, willing and able to Nixonize this asshole. Ω
