Powered by BriWelcome to this week’s Reno News & Review.

I remember when the pros-pect of getting laid that night was pretty much the only thing that could get me out of bed in the morning. Not these days. I’m pretty much excited about everything, all the time,

and I can’t wait to get my day started.

This weekend, I’m eager to work on

my stand-up desk. Long story short: I built a desk out of PVC so I can stand up at work, as sitting at a desk all these years has irritated my guts, causing heartburn and other discomforts. After yet an-other expensive yet inconclu-sive medical test, my doctor suggested I get a standup desk. Well, you know me.

What would the perfect standup desk look like? Inex-pensive, strong, tailored to my 6-feet-2-and-a-half-inch frame, modular (so that other people could build one even more cheaply, since almost everyone I know who sits at a desk for a living has the same issues). And since the whole idea was to make my work en-vironment healthier, a manual treadmill. Don’t you dare scoff.

Finally, because things never get weird enough in my world, my friend Ky Plaskon suggested I figure out a way to generate electricity from the treadmill. Actually, it was Ky’s dad, a for-mer NASA rocket scientist, who suggested the idea. So I came up with a design, and I’m going to run my music, charge my cell phone, and maybe power my monitor off it.

The desk works great. Right now, while I figure final dimensions, I’m standing on a platform, and I have my keyboard elevated on a couple reams of paper, but I stood here all week and worked and shook my ass. My treadmill arrives today. I’ll bet I’m out of bed before the sun rises tomorrow.

After the weekend: Every-thing works as I hoped. I still might have to adjust the desk-top surface up one inch (for a sit-down desk you adjust the chair, for a stand-up desk you adjust the desk), but I burned 46.2 calories on my treadmill while I copy-edited A&C.

Bring your cartRe “Dog Days of Winter” (Feature story, Feb. 28):

I read with interest your article on dog sledding in Truckee (Dog Days of Winter), but I find it sad that nobody in charge of these dog sledding events has thought of the obvious solution to the unpredictabil-ity of snowfall: Plan for both. Tell the mushers and the audience that the race will happen whether there is snow or not. Each musher will have to bring both a snow sled and a wheeled cart, which is a lot to pack and transport, but isn’t it better than cancelling the event?

Troll dogRe “Dog Days of Winter” (Feature story, Feb. 28):

I’m so sick of dogs I want to puke. Overrated, butt-sniffing, poop-eating, barking, ugly-ass animals. Did you know dogs are an invasive species? All the common species of pets are. I love it when coyotes grab a coddled little dog and take it back to the den for a meal.

Ashamed of governmentOpen letter to both the upper and lower houses of the legislative branch of the American government: As an American-born, Vietnam-era veteran just short of 64 years old, for the very first time in my life, I am both ashamed and embarrassed by the lack of partisanship and

cooperation by our elected officials, both Democrat and Republican of my native land. The nerve; the audacity of our politicians to leave “The Hill” on a Thursday afternoon for a long weekend, without even an extended attempt to fix the sequestration issue at hand is mind boggling. We are no longer the greatest nation on Earth, and it’s going to be a long slide downward. I fear for our future and the legacy to follow. If there is a God in heaven, He will punish those who fail the people by their selfishness and inaction by personal self serving design. I can only, and will, pray for those unfortunate uncaring souls.

Water hazard Yosemite National Park managers are the grinch that stole the vacation.

The proposed Merced River Plan, written to “protect and enhance the river,” would have the swimming pools at two hotels in Yosemite valley removed because they are “not necessary.” (Yet the pools are not as near the river as many buildings.) The ice rink and horseback riding would also go, along with rental rafts/bikes, because they are “not necessary.”

Is John Muir their role model? Muir got by with a fire, some tea and bread. With Muir as a NPS role model, tents and hotel rooms are also not necessary. Fun is not necessary.

Please help stop this nonsense before it spreads to other parks. Yosemite park is taking comments on the plan until April 18, 2013.

Go to the Yosemite National Park home page and click on Merced River Plan on the right hand side.

Dump the dumpRe “Nuclear energy is the bomb” (The Liberty Belle, Feb. 28):

Chanelle Bessette’s opinion piece, “Nuclear energy is the bomb,” is itself an explosion of misinforma-tion. The idea that southern Nevada in general and Yucca Mountain in particular could be used for “the storage of nuclear spent fuels, repro-cessing those fuels and generating power” is absurd. Yucca Mountain is an unsafe site for disposing of nuclear waste. The feds have walked away from it as being unworkable. It’s an even worse location for spent fuel storage (earthquakes, the dangers of transporting the stuff thousands of miles and through urban Las Vegas, etc.). And reprocessing, even if it were technically and economically feasible (which it is not) requires copious amounts of water (not available in the arid Great Basin) and produces copious amounts of radioactive and hazardous waste. Where reprocessing has been done (by the Feds for weapons purposes and at a pilot project in upstate New York in the ’70s), it has resulted in massive amounts of contamina-tion. And a nuclear power plant in southern Nevada? Give me a break! Because of the earthquake potential, you couldn’t license one there. Even if you could, there is nowhere near the amount of water required for such a facility. What the Nevadans 4 Carbon Free Energy is selling is not something that’s good for Nevada.

Good to knowRe “The Game” (Feature story, Feb. 7):

I don’t know if you had a chance to read KOLO’s story, http://tinyurl.com/b7rpcav, but if you didn’t, it talks about a trafficking survivor who is starting a Sex Workers Anonymous chapter in Carson City. Sex Workers Anonymous was first started in 1987, and has grown to be a worldwide program with chapters in the USA, and five other countries now. They are open to anyone of any age, male or female, gay, bi,

lesbian, and/or transgender, with no restrictions on the religion, or lack of, absolutely free of charge. Their program has a hotline that’s available anytime at (888) 253-9619 and is answered confidentially by another survivor. SWA is not connected with law enforcement in any way, and it’s highly successful whether they’re working with someone who just wants to quit the sex industry, or a trafficking victim who needs a rescue operation put together. Because so many mothers are dealing with this issue these days—they’ve even put together a program just for their support as well. They have a radio show where you can hear from the survivors at http://stop traffictalk.webs.com/apps/podcast/ and have a Recovery Guide. They can be reached at www.sexworkers anonymous.net

Pay as you goRe “Back to the gold mine” (Left Foot Forward, Feb. 14):

Quid pro quo—something for something. Mining needs to pay a fee for every speck of gold, large or small, that they take from our state. Mining needs to pay for every drop of fossil water they drain as they drill—just as we all must do. Mining needs to pay for using our roads, government, schools, airports etc. Mining needs to pay for access and mining claims instead of participating in a land grab and by quickclaim converting public land to private property and private use. Mining needs to pay for the superfund site and other EPA sites that are dirty and need to be cleaned up. I’m only asking for mining to be responsible like I am as an American citizen. I pay when I use or take, and so must they. We need to stop allowing mining to hoard, hide, and stash the gold. There is money in this state, and we are tired of starving our systems so that billionaires can make huge unfair profits.

Daylight saving time is coming up on Sunday, March 10. Don’t forget to spring forward an hour. As Reno basks in the false spring of early March, though, it occurs to us here at the world headquarters of the Reno News & Review that false spring is a fine time to make and execute a plan for what you want to do with your personal environment this summer. Many of us will do most of our outdoor-work stuff in the early warm days, and so if chores don’t get done by Memorial Day, they don’t get done.

Here are a few ideas to get you started. Consider your outside world: Now’s a good time to think about how you use water around your home. Xeriscaping—use of water-efficient plants in your landscaping—is a great way to go, and installation is easier before you turn on the sprinkler system for the summer.

Going to plant a vegetable garden this summer? If you’re taking over part of your lawn, spread cardboard boxes or other organic materials over the area you want to cover now, and you won’t be tempted to use herbi-cides later in the season.

Speaking of lawns: While some staff members here particularly love their grass, most Renoites have to pay for watering it. Increasing flower bed areas allows for less broadcast irrigation, and they’re nice to have around. In Nevada, though, move the gravel or lava rock coverings away from the house as rock absorbs and releases heat. The money you save on water may just cause increased spending on electricity for air conditioning.

And speaking of air conditioning (and heating), spring is also a good time to replace the filters on the heating system and to inspect the air-conditioning

system to make sure it is working properly. It’s a lot cheaper to fix it now than at the height of summer when everyone else’s goes bad, too.

Even people without yards may want to do some things to get ready for an outdoor spring. Some vegeta-bles grow quite well in pots or old five-gallon buckets. Tomatoes, for one, do great. Just cut a two-and-a-half inch diameter hole in the center of the bottom of a five-gallon bucket. Lay the bucket on its side and thread the tomato plant through so the leaves come out the bottom. Carefully pack dirt around the roots and hang the bucket from the handle from your eaves. When watering, just put water in until it begins dripping out the hole where the tomato plant hangs down. No land necessary. No bugs!

Another job that’s much nicer during the spring is installation of a line on which to dry laundry. (Although, yes, you can dry clothes outside in the winter.) Older clothes dryers can cost up to 25 cents per load, but hanging clothes and sheets outside is free and has the benefit of adding a great smell as long as you’re not hanging them during an inversion or near a fruit or berry tree that attracts birds.

And finally, not because we’re your mom or anything, but now is a good time to test emergency systems in your home to ensure they are working prop-erly. Emergency systems might include a home alarm, smoke/fire alarm, overhead sprinkler system or carbon monoxide alarms. Change your batteries. Get a fire extinguisher or see where yours is in its life cycle.

You know you can’t wait to enjoy some sunshine after work. It’s the unofficial beginning of spring, so while you’re springing forward, spring into action. Ω

made it fashionable in Republican circles. At the bill’s first hearing, however, a significant amendment was presented by Assemblymember David Bobzien, in recognition of the difficulty in achieving the constitutionally-mandated two-thirds vote threshold for any tax measure.

The amendment proposes a “work-around” to enable the school board instead of the legislature to actually raise the taxes. Enabling legislation only requires a majority vote from the legislature although the bill would still run the risk of a gubernatorial veto, which would then require a two-thirds vote to override. The plan could also face legal chal-lenges due to the 1996 constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds vote on taxes, authored by none other than former Gov. Jim Gibbons.

The bill is supported by both labor and business as many jobs would be created with $20 million a year. Even the Reno Chamber of Commerce thinks the school crisis qualifies as dire and has suspended its anti-tax zealotry long enough to support the

measure, perhaps understanding that it is impossible to attract quality new businesses when many of the crumbling schools are in older parts of town where high-end employees tend to migrate.

In an interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal, Chamber lobby-ist Tray Abney brushed away any constitutional objections and provided this tortured view of the two-thirds requirement: “But be clear, this does not usurp the Constitution. The Constitution says, ‘If the Legislature increases taxes, it has to be a two-thirds vote.’ The Legislature is not raising taxes. The school board, if they want to raise taxes, they can do so.”

Gov. Sandoval’s office, however, expressed deep concerns through spokesman Stewart Bybee: “The governor is concerned that the plan circumvents the public process. There is no ballot initiative, no two-thirds vote in the Legislature. ... It also sets a brand new precedent for govern-ment entities that can tax the public. The bottom line is the school board is

not a taxing authority.” Indeed, Clark County school officials are already salivating about the possibility of enacting taxes directly.

In another demonstration of need for additional educational spending versus lack of revenue, Democrats unveiled their plan last week calling for at least $310 million in additional funding for early childhood educa-tion, but this time with no funding plan offered. In the groundhog bubble of Carson City, the Democrats seem to hope public pressure will bring the Republicans to the bargaining table, but none reacted with any hint of support for the idea. Instead they floated the same anti-labor “reforms” they always want in exchange for any serious discussion of adequately funding education.

We’ve seen this movie before, several times in fact. As Ray Hagar of the Reno Gazette-Journal noted in his blog: “We’ve created a Legislature incapable of raising taxes.” Ω

Irresponsible legislators hurt childrenNo one can seriously argue there isn’t a tremen-

dous need to repair and rehabilitate many of the schools in Washoe County, where 60 percent are more than 30 years old. In recent years, massive budget cuts have slashed maintenance budgets while voters have rejected additional taxes to fix the problem now estimated to cost more than $500 million over the next 10 years.

Assembly Bill 46, sponsored by the Washoe County School District, would raise just $20 million a year over the biennium for maintenance and repairs, about 8 percent of what’s needed to adequately maintain our schools. The bill imposes a quarter cent increase in the sales tax and a slight increase in the property tax—by 5 cents per $100 assessed value—in Washoe County only.

In a rare bipartisan display of support for new taxes, the Washoe delegation strongly endorsed the idea, with the obvious and expected excep-tion of Sen. Don Gustavson, a politi-cian enamored of the “taxes are evil” philosophy long before the Tea Party

its gonna be nuts!

from this mission. It rules that, in this new period of technological advancement, “new mechanisms for enforcing gambling laws on the internet are necessary,” and it quickly made illegal interstate betting on “games subject to chance” such as poker and fantasy sports. The UIGEA went into law in 2010, much to the outrage of gambling enthusiasts and online poker careerists everywhere.

The Department of Justice has received great criticism for its role in passing the UIGEA. From the way it was slipped in as an aside to a larger unrelated bill to its inability to target the real issues related to online gambling—such as psycho-logical and physical issues related to addiction—the act has done far more damage to the economy than it has helped. Primarily, the act has prevented economic growth in a potentially lucrative field of interac-tive interstate gambling, and states with legalized gambling in casinos have not been the only ones affected.

The most immediate effect of the

act’s passing was the withdrawal of millions of dollars from national and international e-commerce. American players and online gambling hosts (such as Full Tilt and PokerStars) were no longer able to legally oper-ate in the U.S., and many transferred their business overseas. Online poker provides exorbitant revenue to places that have legalized it. Some estimates—such as an article published in Forbes in 2010 just before the full effect of the act was realized—say that the global revenue of poker reached somewhere around $30 billion annually. Not only is the U.S. no longer getting a share of the rake, Nevada, especially Las Vegas, is bearing the brunt of the act’s opportunity costs.

Since the passing of the UIGEA, fewer Americans have found success at the World Series of Poker, and international online poker players have been featured much more prominently as winners of various events in recent years. The amount of money that the World Series of Poker—held at the Rio casino in

Las Vegas—brings to the state is in the multimillions, but even so, the UIGEA has prevented many poker hopefuls from honing their skills, which in turn deters thousands upon thousands of players from visiting Nevada during the summer when the poker tournaments take place. The lost tourism revenue alone is enough to reconsider the UIGEA’s continued national implementation.

While Gov. Sandoval’s signature on online gambling legalization in Nevada—and its unanimous support in the legislature—are a good first step to increasing revenue and broadening individual freedoms, the bill doesn’t reach far enough. The current standard of only being able to make compacts with states that have also approved online gambling needs to stretch to international limits. By doing so, both Nevada and the global gambling community will benefit. Ω

Nevada smart to bet on internet gamblingOn Feb. 21, Gov. Brian Sandoval and the

Nevada Legislature signed a bill legalizing online gambling in the state of Nevada. This bill, which authorizes Nevada to enter into gaming compacts with other states that also allow internet gambling, will do much more for the state’s economy than many people realize. By potentially netting the state millions of dollars from online poker through casino licensing fees, taxes and tourism from players who wish to participate in physical tourna-ments, the Nevada Legislature has made a bold and wise decision to re-introduce online gambling at the interstate level.

But first, a history. Fans of online gambling were blindsided in 2006 when the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act was slipped into national law in the metaphorical dead of night. It was tacked on to the SAFE Port Act, a bill designed to regulate port security in an effort to contribute to counterterrorism in the post-9/11 climate. Title VII of the act, however, departs completely

development purposes, higher educa-tion for others.

But the Nevada Legislature that went into session the next month, with Gov. Sandoval’s tax veto threat hang-ing over like a sword of Damocles, adopted little more than a maintenance budget. Toward the end of its session, the Nevada Economic Forum—which produces binding estimates of the state’s anticipated revenue—predicted somewhat higher revenue than previ-ously expected. Gov. Brian Sandoval recommended nearly all of it, $242 million, be used by elementary and secondary education, leaving higher ed with about $20 million. The state’s campuses were still left with major cuts and shutdowns—and that came on top of the previous four years of the governorship of Jim Gibbons, when the lawmakers went along with decimating the higher education system. Never in the computer era had Nevada been less able to compete in economic development. Commitment of state revenues to education was far below the national average. “And I just don’t see how we are full partners in that at the same time when we’re cutting $162 million out of our budget,” Nevada higher education chancellor Dan Klaich said during the 2011 legislature.

As the 2013 legislature neared, while there was still an awareness in elite circles that the state needed to repair its education system, little had been done to educate the public

to that need. In the fall of last year, NBC News could report, “Many other students in Nevada, however, are giving up. In this world-famous gaming capital, the odds are stacked against them. Just 36 percent earn their four-year degrees within even six years, a smaller proportion than in any state except Alaska. And as tuition rises, enrollment has been fall-ing. That, accompanied by an exodus of college-educated workers, has further shrunk the proportion of 25- to 34-year-olds in this state with degrees, already the lowest in the country.” The boosterish in-state news coverage aimed at locals could not combat that kind of message going out to the rest of the nation.

There seems to be little reason to expect substantial change in higher education spending. Democratic lawmakers announced an ambitious education program but were unable to answer the first question asked about it: How will you pay for it?

Once again, out-of-state news coverage of public relations tricks to make up for actual resources seems more insightful than local reports. Sacramento Business Journal: “If at first you don’t succeed at luring California businesses to a no-tax state, try again after re-branding and partnering with a friend of Google’s. ... The Nevada Regional Development Authority is attempting to up its tech street cred with an announce-ment Tuesday that the group will now be known as the ‘Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance’ and has moved into a new office called ‘The InNEVation Center’.”

Since the Nevada Legislature meets only every other year, each time the lawmakers and governor adopt a maintenance program, the state loses another two years while adjoining states keep moving ahead.

In 2008, an Arizona think tank warned that state that it was in danger of becoming “an uncompetitive, unsustainable place where the standard of living stagnates or declines and the position of Arizona tumbles from its historic attractiveness to undesir-able.” Every year since then Arizona officials have beefed up the state’s competitiveness.

Even more notable was Utah, where in 2005 and 2006 business leaders became alarmed by rising bankruptcies and falling wages, which meant falling taxes and declines in education and public works funding, portending a decline in Utah’s attrac-tiveness to business. Before that trend could get traction, the state responded by throwing $179 million at higher

Two years ago, a month before the 2011 Nevada Legislature went into session, a conference in Las Vegas looked at the state’s battered economy. It was supposed to be a learning occasion, though it was marked by the tradi-tional state chauvinism and booster-ism. For instance, a prospectus for the conference read in part, “For years, Nevadans have understood the need to diversify the state’s economy beyond tourism, construction and mining”—though, in fact, there was substantial doubt that Nevada resi-dents understood any such thing.

For those who were listening, the conference offered a lot of wisdom. Economic experts from other Western states—Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Utah—talked about how they had diversified and expanded their economies while Nevadans shrank theirs. Those states used public works like new airports, some incentives, and especially education at all levels—elementary and second-ary schools for some economic

Nevada vs. teen pregnancyNevada’s teen pregnancy rate has dropped sharply, according to Centers for Disease Control figures. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the state’s rate is still nothing to brag about.

Over a three-year period (2007 to 2010), the state rate of births per 1,000 Nevadans aged 15 to 19 years old dropped by a fourth, from 51.6 to 38.6. In raw numbers, that’s 4,351 to 3,413 births.

That means that out of 51 jurisdictions, Nevada still ranks 12th in the nation. In 2008, it was at 10th (“We’re number 10,” RN&R, May 5, 2011).

Over this period, teen pregnancy declined across the na-tion, which meant that while Nevada’s rate was dropping, so were other jurisdictions, so Nevada improved its ranking only incrementally. In 2008 the state ranked 10th. The rate fell by at least 8 percent in 47 states and D.C. and by 20 to 29 percent in 16 states, including Nevada.

Dems vs. HeckThe office of U.S. Rep Joe Heck, a Nevada Republican, sent out a news release on Feb. 29 at 9:02 in the morning on his vote in favor of S. 47, the Violence Against Women Act reau-thorization. The release contained this statement by Heck:

“As a co-sponsor of this reauthorization last Congress, I was proud to cast a vote in support of this important biparti-san bill that provides crucial funding for programs, organiza-tions and law enforcement agencies in southern Nevada that assist women who are victims of domestic abuse. This bill increases resources for criminal investigations, strengthens penalties against abusers to better protect victims, and funds programs that protect victims from both the physical and mental scars of domestic abuse, sexual assault, and rape.”

Twenty-six minutes later this statement arrived from the Nevada Democratic Party:

“After insulting Gabrielle Giffords by agreeing with a right-wing radio host who called her a ‘prop’ of proponents of reducing gun violence, Joe Heck is clearly afraid of the dam-age his slap in the face to Nevada women has done to his re-election chances. The fact remains, Joe Heck voted last year to weaken the Violence Against Women Act and to criminalize abortion for rape victims. Nevada women have seen over the last few weeks Joe Heck’s cavalier attitude towards violence against women and today’s vote will not fool them.”

The Giffords reference deals with a Feb. 19 Heck appear-ance on an Alan Stock program. Stock claimed Giffords had been used as a “prop” by gun control advocates at the state of the union speech. Giffords “can’t even clap her hands,” Stock said. “I think that is just a shameful act by putting her up there as a prop. I’m sorry, I really did.”

Heck responded, “I agree. In the cloud of emotion that’s surrounding the unfortunate incident in Connecticut—that those that are anti-gun want to use that as their opportunity to try to limit our Second Amendment rights.”

Heck later backed away from his comments in an interview with southern Nevada columnist Jon Ralston. “Of course, there is no way that I think that Gabby Giffords is a prop. ... Should I have come to her defense?” Heck said. “You know, in a fast-moving interview, in retrospect, I should have said something, but I didn’t. I was just looking to get past that and talk about gun control in general.”

Late call

A worker at the University of Nevada, Reno distributes new telephone directories to campus offices. The directory came out in November. When asked about the delay, a university spokesperson responded, “I only received my new phone book at home within the past month.”

education systems to lure teams of world class instructors and researchers and later imposing a 5 percent corpo-rate tax. It’s called the Utah Science Technology Research Initiative (USTAR). The results have been very good. Dozens of distinguished engineers and scientists are now Utah-based. With USTAR support, numerous companies were created and patents generated (“USTAR,” RN&R, July 12, 2012). “In fact, Utah is proving to be a draw for a number of big corporate players these days,” Business Week reported last year. “Procter & Gamble chose the state when opening its first U.S. plant in more than four decades last year. ”

Wyoming, Idaho, New Mexico, Colorado, Montana and Arizona adopted Utah-style techniques, but though Nevada officials have been briefed on the Utah techniques at least twice, Nevada did not. Two more years went by.

Nevada has not stood still. The 2011 legislature created a “Knowledge Fund” to direct funding to academic research with commercial applica-tions—but put no money in it. The lawmakers also changed the adminis-trative structure of the state economic development program.

It was anticipated that the private sector would be asked to contribute to the Knowledge Fund, but businesses were not going to invest if state

government didn’t. Or, as Chancellor Klaich said more tactfully, “When the Knowledge Fund was set up it was specifically anticipated that there could be private donations to it and that subject has been generally discussed within the [higher educa-tion] system. I would not say that there has been a concerted effort yet as I think it is appropriate that the State commit before private donors or business could be expected essentially to match that State appropriation.”

Two more years went by.In the current legislature, Gov.

Sandoval has recommended $10 million for the Knowledge Fund for the next two years. That is less than Utah has spent annually since its USTAR program began, and there is no start-up money equivalent to what Utah ponied up. The lawmakers are expected to provide more than Sandoval recommended, but even if they doubled it—as the Democrats want—it would still leave the state playing catch-up with its small state competitors in the West.

All this leaves the state higher-education system, by most indices, well below where it was a decade ago. Since the Gibbons administration, the legislature has been satisfied with not damaging the system any more, but rebuilding to get the system back to competitive seems as far out of reach as ever. Ω

GREENSPACEIn the clearDespite an abundance of invasive fish threatening to cloud Lake Tahoe’s waters (“Full of carp,” Feb.28), the lake’s water clarity improved for the second year in a row. Last year, the clarity reading forthe lake was 75.3 feet; in 2011, clarity was at 68.9 feet. Before that, clarity had been declining from2008, reaching a low point of 64.4 feet in 2010. The highest clarity level in the past 12 years was in2002, which had a clarity reading of 78 feet. While 2012’s numbers improved, researchers at theUniversity of California, Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center say that the trends still indicatea decline in clarity during the summer months. But the researchers say that the overall improvementis encouraging.

Several factors impact lake clarity, including runoff of urban stormwater. Heavy runoff fromsnowmelt during the winter and spring seasons carries “small, inorganic particles from the land,roads and other developed areas into the lake,” according to a statement from University ofCalifornia, Davis.

A Secchi disk, a 10-inch white disk, is used to measure clarity when it is lowered into the water.This method has been used since the late 1960s, when the average clarity depth was 102.4 feet. Foran archive of Secchi data from 1968, visit http://terc.ucdavis.edu/research/SecchiData.pdf.

Burn noticeAs of Feb. 28, the burning colorcode season was over. TheWashoe County Health District AirQuality Management Division’sKnow the Code program, whichadvises on air quality for woodburning based on a system ofcolors, lasts from mid-fall to latewinter. Green means that resi-dents can light stoves, fireplacesand other wood burning activities;yellow is a “voluntary no burn” andred is a “mandatory no burn”code. This January had the highestamount of yellow code days, withDecember 2011 close behind.

“In particular, January’s stag-nant weather conditionscontributed to cold temperatures,calm winds and elevated find par-ticulate matter concentrations,” according to a statement from the Washoe County Health District.

While the color code program is over for the time being, residents can still find out about theregion’s air quality at www.ourcleanair.com. The program will start again in November.

“The horses were about a quarter mile away from where the trap site was,” saidAnnie Jantzen, photographer and coordinator of the Deer Run Wild HorseProtection Group. “A BLM [Bureau of Land Management] worker broughta bucket of grain and lured them to the trap. They just followed them. Itwasn’t even hard to catch them. These are the horses that the BLM say are asafety risk.”

Although wild horse advocates call it a trap, BLM calls this process a“gather” and follows standardized methods, according to a gather processdocument on the BLM website.

“Section 9 of the of the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Actrequires that a public hearing be held prior to the use of helicopters andmotorized vehicles,” reads the document. “Hearings are held annually.”

This gather or trap occurred about three weeks ago in Carson City. Thisherd, including three pregnant mares close to delivery, has resided in thearea for more than 40 years, according to Jantzen.

Jantzen, along with the Deer Run Wild Horse Protection Group, has beenworking around the clock and with nationally recognized organizations totry to get these wild horses back on the range. The BLM told the group theyhad two weeks to come up with a proposal that responded to the complaints.

“It was just lip service,” Jantzen said. “We offered to do fences. Weoffered to do birth control. A citizen coalition to monitor the herd and inves-tigate complaints was also part of the proposal. They rejected it cold.”

According to Jantzen, these wild horses are loved by the community, andthe BLM gave no warning. Residents were outraged when they woke to findthat half of the herd was gone.

Jantzen has been working on a photography book of wild horses withthis particular herd for about a year and says they are “extremely gentle andpractically tame.” She said that when you bring your children to them, thehorses show you their own.

The documentation of complaints against the herd that BLM gave to theprotection group included car strikes—car and horse collisions—that hap-pened in other locations in Northern Nevada, and all of the complaints wereabout a stallion that was removed from the area about a year ago, accordingto Jantzen.

One concern some have about gathers or traps is that the horses may betraumatized by the process or by the act of splitting up a herd or family.According to a gather process document on the BLM website, the wildhorses are scared during the gather activities, but they do adjust and adapt totheir new environment and to human presence. It also states that “most, ifnot all, impacts disappear within hours to several days of release.”

Jantzen said one of the largest issues in this situation is that the BLMwill not work with the community. She also claims that the BLM currentlyhas no one to investigate the validity of the complaints made against thewild horses. Spokespeople for the BLM did not return calls for comment.

“Every citizen should be scared to death that an agency, like the BLM,can come in and do whatever they want to do no matter how it affects thiscommunity,” Jantzen said. “These horses were a part of this community.” Ω

WHENTRAVELING,there are certain questions that are often heard wheneverone mentions that one is from Reno: “That’s near LasVegas, right?” and “What do people from Reno think of

that show Reno 911?” are a couple of the most common, andmost irritating, offenders. In certain circles, whenever visitingunderground rock ’n’ roll clubs, for example, one is just aslikely to encounter this question: “Do you know Sticker Guy?”

If you’ve ever been asked this question and had torespond to the negative, here are the basics: Sticker Guy is abusiness that creates stickers—adhesive-backed vinyl shapesthat one might attach to the bumper of a car, the bottom ofskateboard deck, or the outside of a guitar case. These stick-

ers might promote a business, a joke, a politicalcause, or a musical group.

Sticker Guy has been in the business of makingstickers for 20 years—since March 1993. To celebrateits anniversary, Sticker Guy is throwing a giant party.More than 20 bands—including a few legendarygroups that many locals probably never thoughtthey’d get a chance to see at all, let alone here in theTruckee Meadows—from half a dozen countries willrock stages at four different venues in the valley overthe course of three days. There will also be DJs, inter-national party animals, strange reunions, newencounters, and, it seems safe to predict, plenty ofdrinking, dancing, hooting and hollering. The party isbilled as Debauch-a-Reno 2, and it’s actually asequel to two separate events from five years ago:Sticker Guy’s 15-year anniversary party and the firstDebauch-a-Reno, a showcase of bands on SlovenlyRecordings, Sticker Guy’s sister business.

Sticker Guy is also a guy. And that guy’sname is Pete Menchetti.

If you’ve lived in Reno long, you might havemet him. He’s the guy who owns the bright red,seven-person bike that sometimes rolls thestreets of Reno, especially at night when theweather’s warm. He picks up friends andstrangers alike on the bike and sometimes hasrock bands play on it with miniature amps—hecalls it the Rocktocycle. He’s got an easygoingcharm, and usually has the bemused, observa-tional air of a guy who’s always taking in thescene—and likes what he sees. He knows a lotabout obscure, underground rock ’n’ roll—heowns a record label, the aforementionedSlovenly—and often DJs parties and events,playing upbeat, international rock of the type that has agood beat and can easily be danced to. He dresses like arocker—usually sporting a leather jacket—but isn’t stupid aboutit. He plays the drums. He’s closing in on 40 but looks half that.He’s of Italian descent and looks it. He speaks a bunch of differ-ent languages and spends part of the year living in Amsterdamand a big chunk of the rest of it traveling around the world, tourmanaging bands, meeting with record distributors, and DJ-ingfestivals.

But back in 1993, he was a teenager who worked at acar wash.

“I was already hanging out, thanks to a fake ID, and seeingbands, ’cause that’s what I was into even then,” says Menchetti.He was making fliers and helping his friends’ bands bookshows. At one show, he saw a band called Willard, and theyhad stickers. “I didn’t much like the band, but the stickers wereawesome.”

Sticky situation

Menchetti was inspired. He wanted toadd making stickers alongside bookingshows and making fliers to the list ofthings he did to help promote hisfriends’ bands. And he wanted to makehigh-quality, weatherproof, vinyl stick-ers, not the lousy paper ones thatdissolve in the rain. He tried makingthem himself in his bathtub, but wasn’thappy with the results. He tried a fewdifferent local print shops, but againwasn’t happy with the results. Finally,he called Nevada Loose Leaf, a com-pany that made three-ring binders.

“I got a call one day from Pete,”says Jay Jones, who was then a co-owner of Nevada Loose Leaf. “I didn’tknow him. He just called up and askedif I could print on vinyl. Three-ringbinders are made from vinyl, so I said,yeah, sure. Two days later, he came in.… He was 19. He had dreadlocksdown below his shoulders, black horn-rimmed glasses, and he was wearing abrown trench coat. I thought someonehad sent a hitman to kill me.”

But it was actually a beginning-of-a-beautiful-friendship-type moment, aperfect business connection. Jones hadthe technical know-how thatMenchetti was looking for, andMenchetti had the vision: Independentrock bands would buy stickers, espe-cially if they were high-quality stickersthat were also really inexpensive. Andhe knew the scene, and had the enthu-siasm to drum up support.

A few years later, in ’97, NevadaLoose Leaf closed up shop, and Jones

started Pressworks, a printing com-pany that works almost exclusivelywith Sticker Guy. The two businessesare now next door to each other inindustrial Sparks.

“My agreement with Pete from thebeginning was, I don’t sell stickers,and he doesn’t find someone else to dohis printing,” says Jones. “Primarily,I’m a contract printer for Sticker Guy.”

“Without him, Sticker Guy wouldstill be in the bathtub,” says Menchettiabout Jones.

At first, when Menchetti beganadvertising for the company, it didn’tattract much business. For the first fiveor six months, Menchetti wasn’t sureif the business would make it. But thenthe orders started rolling in. This wasback in the pre-internet days when lifemoved at the pace of snail mail, so inhindsight it’s probably not that muchof a surprise that it took a few monthsto catch on. Nowadays, of course, thevast majority of Sticker Guy’s busi-ness is done online.

By ’94, Menchetti had quit his jobat the car wash, moved out of his par-ents’ house and, with a few friends,into a house on Ryland Street. Thathouse had a basement, and they startedhosting underground rock shows there.And for a few years in the mid-to-late’90s, the Ryland House, as it wasknown, was a central hub of punk rockin Reno.

Over the years, the business hasgrown steadily. Sticker Guy currentlyhas six employees. Pressworks hastwo—Jones’ son and daughter workalongside him.

“It’s become a very reliable sourceof income,” says Menchetti.

Jones describes Menchetti as “aworld traveler.” On one of his recentworld sojourns, tour managing andDJ-ing, Menchetti went from

Amsterdam to Russia, China, Korea,Japan, Malaysia and Ethiopia.

“And everywhere I went, everycountry, I met someone who knewabout Sticker Guy,” he says. “The onethat really blew me away wasEthiopia.”

In Ethiopia, it was a Norwegianguy who worked for a Europeanrecord label that was going to reissuesome old Ethiopian records.

Because of his globetrotting sched-ule, Menchetti isn’t always at theoffice. So, much of the day-to-dayoperations of Sticker Guy are handledby Menchetti’s staff, many of whomhave been with the company foryears, including longtime managerDavid Bruce, who has worked therefor 10 years.

Bruce describes the staff as allheavily involved in music. He’s a DJhimself, primarily spinning old rock’n’ roll, soul and R&B, and is alsoknown for the propaganda-like stickersadorned with his face that seem toshow up in the least likely placesaround town, especially in the bath-rooms of every bar in town. It’s a highcontrast image of an expressionlessguy with glasses and a beard, usuallyover a red background, looking a littlelike a nerdy, Latino Chairman Mao.

Bruce makes his personal stickersusing whatever extra space is left overon a sheet of vinyl after laying out asticker design.

“Instead of throwing the wasteaway, I thought, what would be thestupidest sticker on the planet?” hesays. “And I like very old-school prop-aganda imagery, so I made a design ofmy face, and now it’s all over theplace. A couple of years ago some-body sent me a picture. They were ontour in Rome, and right after they gotoff the plane, they were all jet-lagged,and they went to a record store … and

right on the front door is my fuckingstupid face.”

Because of the stickers with hisface, many people think that Bruce isthe Sticker Guy.

“Sometimes people confuse me forSticker Guy,” he says. “That’s not fairbecause I’m not the fucking StickerGuy. But because I have a stickerthat’s a guy’s face, and I work withSticker Guy, I can see how peoplemake that connection.”

Bruce says most of their customershave very specific ideas about whatthey want.

“But sometimes people want theirhand held, and they want to be told,‘Hey this looks good’ and ‘This looksbad,’” he says. “Sometimes we getasked too subjective of a question,like, ‘What makes a good sticker?’ Idon’t know. What makes a goodpizza? Everyone has their own taste.… The big two things that we justimmediately refund money and tellthem no, take your business elsewhere,is racist and homophobic stuff.Sometimes these fucking people—racists, that is—they call back, andthey’re like, ‘Fucking faggot! Why areyou canceling my order?’And I try totell them, ‘Dude, why don’t you startyour own racist sticker company?Corner the market!’”

Sticker Guy does primarily smallerruns of stickers—unlike other compa-nies, they have no minimum quantityorder. That, along with the high-qual-

ity and inexpensive rates, and the factthat everyone on staff is involved inmusic and known around the localscene, is why, locally at least, stickersare almost always the first pieces ofmerchandise every new band gets.

Slovenly creatures

A year after launching Sticker Guy,with some of that company’s firstprofits, Menchetti decided to start arecord label, 702 Records. (This wasback in the days when there was onearea code for the whole state.) Thelabel mostly put out records by the toplocal bands of the day—like FallSilent, Crushstory and the Atomiks—as well as records by regional acts thatused to play Reno regularly, like thegreat New Mexico garage pop bandScared of Chaka (members of whichwent on to play with the Shins).

In 2002, Menchetti relaunched thelabel as Slovenly Recordings. Whereas702 was a label primarily defined bygeography—many of the bands didn’thave much in common musically, theywere all just either from here or visitedoften enough to have impact on thelocal scene—Slovenly is a label with amore particular aesthetic.

“It’s loud, distorted rock ’n’ roll—some people call it garage rock,” saysBazooka Joe Almeida, who’s now the

Slovenly label manager. “Rock ’n’ rollreally encompasses so much for us. Itcan include surf, go-go, soul, rhythm& blues, noise, punk, garage—allkinds of things.”

The label is also distinctly interna-tional—with bands hailing fromCanada, Puerto Rico, Greece, theNetherlands, France, Colombia, aswell as all over the U.S., and many ofthese bands will be coming to town for

the sprawling music fest celebratingSticker Guy’s anniversary, Debauch-A-Reno 2. The event runs March22-24, at multiple venues throughoutthe valley including The Alley,Holland Project and 40 Mile Saloon.There will be over 25 bands, as well asmore than half a dozen DJs. The bandswill include a big chunk of theSlovenly roster, a slate of some of thebest local acts, and a couple of head-liners sure to make underground rock’n’ roll aficionados drop their jaws: theGories and the Sonics.

The Gories was a Detroit band in

the late ’80s and early ’90s that playedbluesy garage rock, primal and dirty,and drawn almost in a straight linefrom the originator, Bo Diddley, withjust a bit more Cramps-style psychoraunch in the mix. The group washugely influential on the Detroit rockscene that spawned the White Stripes adecade later, as well as influencinglegions among the newer garagerevivalists like the Black Lips.

The Sonics is a legendary group,sort of proto-proto-punks. Starting inthe early ’60s, the group played faster,louder and more intensely than anyonehad before and few have since. Theirsound was derived from LittleRichard, but dirtier, harder hitting, andmore distorted. The group was at least15 years ahead of its time and overbefore the end of the ’60s, but notbefore providing the blueprints fordecades of rock ’n’ roll.

Reunion shows by both groupsare rare occasions to be celebrated,and extra rare on the west coast, and

unbelievable for Reno. How unbe-lievable? When Jello Biafra, theformer lead singer of the DeadKennedys, and an undergroundmusic legend in his own right, heardthat the Sonics were playing, he con-tacted Menchetti if he could come upfrom the Bay Area and play a DJ set.Menchetti agreed, of course. (SeeMusicbeat, page 25.)

“In an alternate universe of rock’n’ roll, this is an event of seismic,earth-shattering proportions,” saysDanny Kroha of the Gories. “In analternate rock ’n’ roll universe,because there is a total alternate rock’n’ roll universe, where bands likeThe Sonics and the Stooges and theNew York Dolls, Them, andShadows of the Knight are heroes theworld over to a certain segment ofthe population that’s in this under-ground. And amongst thisunderground group of people all overthe world—we’re talking Japan,South America, all over Europe,Australia—bands like these, like theSonics, are revered just like people inthe mainstream revere the RollingStones or the Beatles.”

Also, it’s important to note, that, atDebauch-A-Reno 2, all the bands willhave plenty of stickers. Ω

On a leisurely drive through the doldrums of Reno’s industrial district, tucked away behind the airport, the sights are lackluster at best. With bleak business buildings lining the streets—a random turn onto Reactor Way sprouts a surpris-ing oasis. Or maybe it’s just a trick of the eye. After all, you’re driving through high desert and may not have chugged enough water. But no, that’s not your imagination deceiving you, like a lone flower—more precisely, a sunflower—stand-ing triumphant among its barren desert landscape, springs the bright and colorful building known as Kimmie Candy Company.

As its sunglass sporting, smile flashing mascot, Kacee the sunflower, ensures, Kimmie Candy Co., a local, family-owned manufacturer planted in Reno since 2008, brings some light-hearted fun. As founder Joe Dutra would say, “Everyone loves candy!”

While the name may not ring a bell, the candy itself might. Those cutely packaged

ChocoRocks-multi-colored chunks of milk chocolate shaped like, well, rocks—that can be found filling both national and international store shelves, stem from right here in Reno.

The ChocoRocks may be the most widely recognized, but it’s the company’s chocolate-coated sunflower seeds, the favorite of Dutra himself, that started it all.

Originally in the agriculture business, Dutra worked on a farm, growing and selling hybrid vegetables—which he then named after members of his family and friends.

The idea to switch from greens to cocoa transpired, Dutra says, by accident. “My friend brought in a sack of chocolate-coated sunflower kernels he was trying to sell to me, and I thought, ‘This is healthy, recession proof, and a business that just keeps growing … I think I’ll start a candy company.’” And so he did.

The Kimmie Candy brand came to Dutra over a martini brainstorm.

Photo/Allison Young“I said I was going to call it

Gimmie Candy,” Dutra reminisces, ‘And my wife’s girlfriend said, ‘You name everything else after your friends and family—why not the company?’ And her name was Kim. So I said, ‘All right. Kimmie Candy!’”

Kimmie Candy has its original roots in Sacramento Valley, where the Dutras were farmers, and the landscape was appropriate for grow-ing produce. Chocolate, however, not so much. First trying their hands as oversea manufacturers in Korea, after 9/11, Dutra made the decision to move his company to the U.S. And after some deliberation, Reno won out.

“We needed a dry climate for our product because we have to control the humidity and temperature very closely,” says John Dutra, the company’s general manager and Joe Dutra’s son. “With Reno being so dry, it’s much easier to remove the moisture out of the air than somewhere in Sacramento.” Reno also has the benefit of being within a day’s transportation of Kimmie’s main chocolate supplier, Blommer Chocolate, located in the Bay Area.

Candy land Being able to provide local jobs in a bad economy was also important to Dutra, and ultimately impacted his decision to move his business to U.S. soil. The company’s modest begin-nings included a staff of seven. And now boasts 29 employees, a number that’s continually growing, along with the company itself.

Gov. Brian Sandoval is a fan. With Kimmie Candy donating 3,000 bags of candy to the Governor’s Mansion for Halloween trick-or-treaters, they’ve also earned the title, “Official Candy of the Governor.”

“He has our silver ChocoBars on his desk,” says Dutra. “And we presented him with a Nevada container filled with our chocolate.”

Sandoval recently took Dutra, along with other leaders in Nevada’s business community, on the gover-nor’s trade mission to China. The opportunity was led by the governor to encourage Nevada companies to export their products to China.

“In December, we sold our first candy into Hong Kong, from Reno,” Dutra says proudly, of the distribution destination being added to a list that already includes Canada, Mexico, the Philippines and the Middle East.

Looks like that slogan, “The Biggest Little Candy Company in the Biggest Little City,” is earning its chocolate coins.

So how do you sample some of this world traveled chocolate right here in Reno? Other than its major distributors—which include Winco, Cost Plus, Raley’s and Sweet Factory—the best place to taste it is at the source.

The factory, at 525 Reactor Way, may not feature a velvet-clad man in a top hat and an entourage of Oompa-Loompas, but it does have a vibrant atmosphere of candy-covered walls in the gift shop, as well as the option of an approximately 20-minute tour.

The tour, open to both the public and private groups on a call-ahead basis, can be done five days a week. Opening with product samples, the guide then takes viewers on a trip through the land of Kimmie Candy past—featuring the original packaging of the very first prod-uct—then through the doors of the actual factory, where the magic of chocolate—from the arrival process, to the chocolate belt, to the spray paint coating of the chocolate shell, can be witnessed. Viewers can experience the company’s specialty chocolate, named Reactor after the street on which the factory is located, get melted down. A hybrid in itself, Reactor was created through many taste tests (and probably a few stom-ach aches).

“We spent years developing a custom chocolate,” John Dutra explains. “It’s not too sweet, the emphasis is on the cocoa. So the sugar shell complements it really well.”

The swirling vats of multicolored chocolate are the most mesmerizing to watch, a collection which includes 20 different shades—contributing to the coats of products such as Sunbursts (their staple chocolate coated sunflower seeds), ChocoRocks (their best-seller), Kettle Corn Nuggets (chocolate toasted corn nuts) and ChocoAlmonds—as well as a variety of holiday mixes. The final product is as appealing visually as it is on the taste buds.

“We’re going for overall quality,” says John Dutra, of the aesthetic of the candy shell, to the nut or chocolate inside. “It’s much more fun—look at it next to a bag of M&M’s.”

And the tour’s aroma of toasted almonds and melted cocoa is just an added perk.

While Kimmie does approxi-mately 15 tours a month, like the business itself, they’d like to see that number grow.

“Reno will be seeing much more of us,” John Dutra says. “We want people to know that there is a candy manufacturer here, and that they can come visit us.” Ω

entries in this show include oil on canvas and egg tempera, a precise, complicated method that captures intricacies like a lion’s whiskers or a macaw’s feathers in his small pieces. Meanwhile, Tom Uttech’s large-scale, representative landscape paintings in hand-painted and hand-carved frames depict wildlife in untamed settings.

In stark contrast are Gaylen Hansen’s primitive oil-on-canvas depictions of such western images as ravens, coyotes, horses and cowboys. The painter, now in his ’90s, is one of the most well-known and significant painters working in the Pacific Northwest. His representations of Washington’s Palouse landscape highlight a comical, fable-like, Native American narrative style.

Though University of Nevada, Reno alumnus Bill Braun’s playful work appears primitive at first glance, a closer look reveals that it’s masterful in its complexity. His trompe l‘oeil (“trick the eye”) acrylic paintings appear, immediately, to have been produced by kindergartners; the three-dimensional collages seem to feature

cut-out blocks of construction paper, sheet music or magazine photos, along with thumbtacks, staples and even old Dymo embossed labels. Even close examination of the pieces—which feature primary colors and woodland-type scenes that include birds, deer and insects—will reveal shadow-ing and folding effects so real you almost need to touch it to believe it was painted.

Tom Judd’s collages feature oil paint-ings of animals, such as elephants or horses, on unusual “canvasses” comprised of maps, dress patterns, handwritten recipes, even book bindings; the juxtaposition points out a contrast between the free-flowing elegance of animals against the manmade, precise elegance of charts and grids.

Brian Christiansen’s sculptural collages are deceptively simple in appearance. In fact, the work is remarkably complex. The

UNR graduate repurposes discarded furniture—couches, box springs, mattresses—in order to construct sculptures of animals, primarily deer. By skinning the furniture and displaying it as “hides” in a sort of hunting trophy style, he commemorates his own

untraditional “hunt” for cast-offs.Other sculptors in the exhibit are

Adelaide Paul, whose leather-encased sculptures depict abstract, often unsettling images of animals encased in “clothing”; Ken Little, whose trophy heads are made of clothing and accessories (shoes, belts, pants); and Brad Rude, who’s considered one of the top patina masters in the country. Rude, the foundry artist who created the 2002 Artown bighorn sheep, brings several small sculptures to this exhibit, all showcas-ing his unique “balancing act” style—a horse doing a handstand on an archway, a mountain lion perched on a stick and a wheel while holding a ball on its back.

“There’s huge diversity in the artists and the work,” says gallery director Turkey Stremmel, “but they’re all really strong works.” Ω

The Animal in Contemporary Art II

Photo/Allison Young

The complexity of our relationship to animals has been explored in art for centuries. Animals may symbolize peace, freedom, evil, death or even the human condition. They are the ultimate expression of harmony and perfec-tion in nature, and the antithesis of progress. They are our muses, our doppelgangers, our enemies and our friends.

Contemporary artists from around our region are showcasing their animal impressions in the Stremmel Gallery’s latest exhibition, The Animal in Contemporary Art II.

If Emily Dickinson was right that “hope is the thing with feathers,” Catherine Courtenaye’s work resounds with hope. Based on her early experiences with penmanship, Courtenaye, a Montana artist, merges raw, rough swoops of color with bird imagery created by fine lines reminis-cent of calligraphy. The combination is a feminine, beautiful meditation that empha-sizes the contrast between representational and abstract art.

Fine lines are a hallmark of painter Leonard Koscianski, a master of light whose

THESE DON’T MIX

The first time I saw someone standing outside of El Pescador dressed like a fisher-man, yellow rain slicker and all, I clapped my hands like a seal and excitedly waved back. I just love people in costumes. This tradition would continue for many months before I finally decided to actually go into El Pescador, a restaurant that has been on Plumb Lane for as

long as I can remember. My friends Brett and Tim joined me for a lunch, but Tim wasn’t quite sold on dining here since his motto is, “If it’s from the sea, it’s not for me.” After I promised to buy the Margaritas, he was game. While El Pescador mainly offers fish or seafood dishes, they do have some non-fish items for people who don’t enjoy things from the water.

El Pescador has an old-school nautical theme, with yellow booths, carpet with blue anchors, and fishing nets with sea creatures hanging from the ceiling. It was bright and cheerful if a bit dated inside. The place was fairly crowded, and it can get pretty loud, so this is more the place for a fun meal out versus a quiet dinner.

We were immediately given a basket of warm, fresh chips, a small dish of warm refried beans and two different salsas. The chips and the beans were amazing, and as if the two types of salsas weren’t enough, there were also six different types of hot sauce at the table.

Brett and I decided to start with the ceviche ($13.95), which was served “Uncle Benjamin style.” I

have no idea what that means, but apparently at El Pescador, “Uncle Benjamin style” means a huge serv-ing of delicious ceviche packed with white fish, onions, tomatoes, cilantro and lime. The ceviche was so large that it could have carried us both over for a meal. We also ordered a pitcher of Margaritas on the rocks ($18) that took longer than I would

have liked to get there, especially since we started experi-menting with the different hot sauces, so our mouths were on fire by the time it arrived. Our glasses came with umbrellas in them, which is always fun, and the Margaritas worked to cool our tongues.

For entrées, I ordered the diabla fish ($12.95), which our friendly waitress cautioned was “very spicy.” Very spicy is just the way I like

it, so when two large fillets of basa arrived covered in a red spicy sauce, I was ecstatic. The dish came with tortillas, beans and rice, so I set to work making some spicy fish tacos and dumped lots of the extra sauce over the top. Brett went with the seafood fajitas ($16.95), which came out with a huge serving of sizzling seafood and a large side of guaca-mole, sour cream, tortillas, rice and beans. I liked the seafood mix they put in the fajitas, which included squid, white fish, shrimp and scal-lops. Everything was nicely cooked and had a bit of kick to it.

Tim, our non-fish eater, had three enchiladas ($11.95), and went with shredded beef, chicken and cheese. Tim said the shredded beef was his favorite, as the meat impressed him. I had a bite of the chicken enchilada, and I thought it had a nice flavor with lots of melted cheese.

Overall, I really enjoyed my meal at El Pescador. We had a great time, the food was good, and the service, if a bit slow, was really friendly. It might have been a guy in a fisher-man’s outfit that reeled me in, but the food is definitely a catch. Ω

Beanstalk is cheapJack the Giant Slayer

After having its release postponed last year, Jack the Giant Slayer finally makes it to screens—with a reported budget somewhere in the neighbor-hood of $200 million.

This thing will go down as one of the worst domestic flops in recent Hollywood history. Director Bryan Singer, who took a lot of flak for his underperforming Superman Returns—a film I liked—has put together a visual mess whose budget doesn’t show on the screen.

The movie features live actors performing alongside CGI giants, and the live action doesn’t integrate with the effects at all. Sometimes, a director just doesn’t find that comfortable balance between live action and CGI, and you just sense the actors standing on a soundstage barking at something that will be added in later.

The effects have a cartoon quality that had me wondering why they didn’t just make this a CGI animated adventure. It’s not like they have huge stars anchoring the picture. Will Smith fought cartoon zombies in I Am Legend, but you forgave the silliness of those cartoon zombies because Smith sold the whole damned thing.

The responsibility of selling Jack rests on the shoulders of the likeable but not extremely charismatic Nicholas Hoult (very good in this year’s Warm Bodies). He plays the title character with enough charm to make the movie mostly tolerable, but never takes it to great heights. Ewan McGregor and Stanley Tucci have supporting roles, and they actually register more than Hoult.

Unlike the classic fairytale, Jack must go up against an army of giants this time out. Those giants are created via motion capture that is never convincing or impressive. In fact,

the lineup of giant characters looks quite bad. There just isn’t a nice way to say it.

It doesn’t help matters that the lead giant, a two-headed concoction named General Fallon, is voiced by Bill Nighy. Nighy, of course, voiced the villainous Davy Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and his work here is similar so you spend the movie being constantly reminded of his better performance as a more interesting villain in another picture. It also doesn’t help that Fallon’s simpleminded second head is a total Gollum rip-off.

The movie is rated PG-13, but don’t be taking the little kids. Singer has inserted many violent moments where the giants dispatch human victims, King Kong style. That means many people get snatched up and have their screaming heads bitten off.

Granted, Singer doesn’t show the bloody aftermath, and usually pulls away before the tearing is complete, but it’s pretty shocking for what’s supposed to be a family film.

As this film’s love interest, the reluctant princess who runs away from her puny king dad (Ian McShane), relative newcomer Eleanor Tomlinson doesn’t exactly light up the screen. This isn’t necessarily her fault, in that the screenplay provides her with nothing but flat dialogue and the wardrobe department makes her wear silly hats.

For the kids, Singer does allow for a few farts and boogers. I suppose he thinks that balances it all out. “Yes, giants rip heads off screaming

victims in this movie quite often, but I will throw in a couple of farts to keep the kids laughing.”

I’m curious as to why Warner Brothers moved this from its original release date last summer. Is it because they wanted to do some more work on the special effects in an effort to make them look better? (If so, they failed.) Or did they know they had a stinker on their hands, and a March release would lessen the competition? Either way, they have a relative stinker on their hands.

Up next for Singer is a return to the X-Men universe with X-Men: Days of Future Past. That’s encouraging news, for sure, and it’s good to know he will be back on familiar ground. Let’s just hope none of the X-Men fart, pick their nose, or bite somebody’s head off. Ω

1 21 and Over Directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the writers of The Hangover, basically

serve up yet another strain of that film, this one set in a college town with college kids drinking a lot and getting into all kinds of college trouble. Miles Teller (who was in the similarly stupid Project X) headlines as Miller, friend to one Jeff Chang (Justin Chon). Jeff Chang is turning 21, and Miller takes him out for a night of partying with pal Casey (Skylar Astin) and, guess what, they all get crazy drunk and stuff. Nothing even close to new or original in these scenarios. The only thing keeping this from being totally lousy is that the actors play off each other well, especially Teller and Astin. If you crack up when people eat tampons or get their asses branded, well this one’s for you. If you get mildly annoyed at racist humor coupled with guys playing drinking games, go ahead and stay far away.

1 A Good Day to Die Hard The Die Hard franchise has been one of the more reliable action movie

franchises in cinematic history—until now. Bruce Willis looks tired, beaten down and embarrassed in this useless installment of the adventures of John McClane. The action takes him to Russia this time, which is a mistake. While there, he helps his son with some espio-nage crap, another storytelling mistake. He goes up against villains who do not distinguish themselves at all, and this would be the film’s biggest mistake. Die Hard needs a big villain. All of the prior installments had good villains, and that includes naked William Sadler in Die Hard 2. I think McClane has got some good stuff left in the tank, but enough with this garbage involving his kids. And stay the heck out of Russia; that place has lost all of its cinematic bad guy appeal. Little in this movie makes sense and it just doesn’t belong in a category with the first four chapters. Reboot, forget this thing, and start fresh the next time out, sort of like how Rocky Balboa forgot the previous two chapters and restored the Italian Stallion’s dignity.

2Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters This seriously had the makings of the worst, dumbest movie ever made.

Hansel and Gretel, the famed gingerbread house eaters, survive their ordeal to become world-class witch hunters. The result is bad, but it’s one of those so-bad-it’s-almost-good endeavors. Jeremy Renner somehow got talked into this thing, and he gives it his best shot, as does Gemma Arterton as his sister, Gretel. Famke Janssen is on hand as a mean witch who plans to take the blood of a bunch of children and do something or other with it. I wasn’t really following, or caring. The 3-D is bad, so go ahead and opt for 2-D. It’s got Peter “Where is Pancakes House?” Stormare in it too, which is usually the mark of a bad film unless it’s Fargo. Lots of blood and curse words get this one an R-rating. Director Tommy Wirkola seems as if he’s playing it for camp at times, and that would’ve been the better move for the whole film. It really slows down when it takes itself too seriously.

1 Identity Thief Cashing in on her Oscar-nominated turn in Bridesmaids, Melissa McCarthy

gets a headlining role alongside Jason Bateman in Identity Thief. While both performers are talented and make the best of the crap heap of a script they are handed, it’s not enough to make this anything more than a desperate misfire. From the director of Horrible Bosses, this is just another riff on Planes, Trains & Automobiles minus much of the fun. Bateman plays a sorry sap who has his identity stolen by a free shopping weirdo (McCarthy). He gets into some legal troubles, and vows to capture the thief and bring her back to his hometown. So it’s another odd couple road movie, and pretty exploitive when it comes to McCarthy. She’s a talented woman, and she deserves much better than this.

5Les Misérables This is a grand, beautifully shot adapta-tion of the legendary musical, directed

by Tom Hooper and starring Hugh Jackman in the heavy-lifting role of persecuted bread thief Jean Valjean. Set in 19th century France, the musical calls for nearly every word to be sung, and it’s a major undertaking. Hooper had his cast sing live on the set rather than

prerecording in a sound booth, and this results in a moving musical experience. Jackman has a spectacular voice, and you get at true sense that he and his costars are acting these songs, rather than lip-synching. Anne Hathaway will probably win an Oscar for her work as Fantine, singing her big number in one take and summoning honest, heart-wrenching tears. Russell Crowe, as Valjean’s lawman nemesis Javert, doesn’t have half of Jackman’s voice, but there’s something about his interpretation that’s appropriate and amplifies the charac-ter’s loneliness. Every number is treated with a majestic grace that makes this one of the greatest movie musicals I’ve ever seen.

3Side Effects The first half of director Steven Soder-bergh’s alleged feature film’s swan

song is excellent, while the second half is only passably good. Jude Law stars as a doctor treating a depressed patient (Rooney Mara) who is given an experimental drug with some nasty results. The film is at once a mystery and an indictment of the worldwide pharmaceutical industry, and it hums along nicely for a good chunk of the running time. Then, it suddenly becomes a mediocre Brian De Palma movie as the mysteries are solved, and it gets a little hokey. Good things happen before it unravels, with Mara doing some nice work alongside Channing Tatum and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Soderbergh says this is it for him. Hopefully, he just takes a couple of years off and finds himself back behind the camera someday. This movie is OK, but I would like to see him go out on a better note.

4Silver Linings Playbook Bradley Cooper is on fire as Pat, a troubled man recently out of a mental

institution and obsessed with his ex-wife. He’s so obsessed hat he can’t see the value in Tif-fany (Jennifer Lawrence), a recently widowed neighbor trying to befriend him. Directed by David O. Russell, the movie is a funny, slick treatment of people with real problems that works because Russell and his performers find the right balance. Robert De Niro does his best work in years as Pat’s obsessive father, and Chris Tucker gets big laughs as Pat’s former mental institution buddy. Cooper and Lawrence make for one of the year’s most interesting screen couples. They are certainly unique. Rus-sell is establishing himself as one of the indus-try’s most reliable and innovative directors.

3 Snitch Dwayne Johnson—ACTOR! He has dropped his alias, “The Rock,” from his

screen name, and now stars in a movie where he doesn’t even fire a machine gun or show off his glorious tattoos. Johnson plays the father of a young man who gets into trouble after a friend mails him a whole lot of drugs. Unless the son turns in somebody for distributing drugs and “snitches,” he will face a long jail sentence. Johnson’s character decides to take matters into his own hands, find some drug dealers, and turn them in so his misunderstood son can walk free. This one was a lot better than I was expecting because Johnson really steps up and makes the whole thing work. It’s predictable, yet well paced, a good-looking and well-acted action thriller. Johnson will be coming to a theater near you firing many guns and showing off his ink in the near future (quite often in 2013). For now, it’s kind of cool to see him do something a little different, and doing it effectively.

5Zero Dark Thirty Director Kathryn Bigelow getting snubbed by Oscar for this taut, scary,

intelligent movie about the war on terror and hunt for Bin Laden is a travesty. Well, it’s a travesty when it comes to movies and stuff, not so much in the grand scheme of things. Still, Bigelow deserves praise for putting together a movie that is both exciting political thriller and terrific action movie. Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain is deserv-ing of the accolades as Maya, a composite character of CIA agents who managed to find Bin Laden in Pakistan and end his life. The film contains scenes of torture, but it doesn’t feel “pro-torture” by any means. It’s a great movie that will only get greater with time, and yet another reason to call Bigelow one of the best in the business.

The former singer and principal songwriter of the Dead Kennedys, Jello Biafra is well known for his incisive wit, political insight and provocative humor. His current group, Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine, has a new album slated for release in April on his record label, Alternative Tentacles. He’ll perform a DJ set at the Debauch-A-Reno festival (see this week’s feature story, page 13, for more information).

You’re coming up here to Reno to DJ the Debauch-A-Reno festival. How did that come about?Oh, I just got tipped to it by Jesse Luscious, the old singer of the Frisk and the Criminals and Blatz and all that good stuff. He now works for me at Alternative Tentacles. He just thought I might want to know about it. I see The Sonics at the top, and my eyes popped out of my head. I got to find my way to get up there. Maybe I can even make myself useful. Maybe I can even find a way to have some fun and make myself useful. I had just been in Seattle and Portland doing some cameo appear-ances on the Reverend Horton Heat tour, and the reports from people up there are that the Sonics are still pretty damn good. … They’re one of my favorite bands. One of the most important bands in my life ever.

Why?Just the music and the sound itself, and [Gerry] Roslie’s voice. I’d seen them listed as some obscure ’60s punk band in some magazine in L.A.—I can’t remember what it was. It was some pre-fanzine thing, long before punk happened. That was

the first time I saw the term ‘punk’ used for this kind of fierce, primal rock ’n’ roll. … I made a mental note to check them out. And then an old compilation called Explosives was up on a wall in a store when I moved to San Francisco, and I thought that might be only chance to check them out. So I paid way too much money for it, at least at the time, and brought it home. And unlike most of these things where you expect way more than you’re ever going to get because your expectations are so high, I put it on and was like, my god, this is really, really good. This dude’s voice is amazing. … I thought, wow, the missing link between the Ventures and the Stooges. I would put them in the top five as far as the most important, influential bands of my own music and writing.

When was the last time you were here in Reno?It’s been a while. … The real Dead Kennedys only played in Reno once. I think the phony Dead Kennedys have been through once or twice, maybe three times.

What’s your relationship with those guys, now? I know there’s been lawsuits.It’s absolutely zero. I get a threat letter from their lawyer every once in a while. And now they have this bum manager who appears he may even be a right-wing Christian, a born-again Christian who runs around cutting deals. People have told me in L.A. that he claims he’s my friend, and that everything’s cool, but that’s not the case at all. They still can’t seem to stop all these promoters putting pictures of the band with me in the ad. As far as I’m concerned it’s one of the lowest points punk has ever reached. … But people shouldn’t get this wrong. I’m very proud of Dead Kennedys and very grateful people are still that into the music this many years later. I have no regrets about the band, the music or what we did. I have terrible regrets about what those guys turned into afterwards. They’ve become Republicans. … They can claim they wrote the songs all they want to, but where are the new songs? The new songs are all with me. Ω

My wife needs a medical test that will involve her being nakedin unflattering positions in front of another person, possiblymale. I know she won’t enjoy this and it certainly isn’t sexual,but I want her to request a female gynecologist. She saysshe’s embarrassed to do that, refuses to be controlled by me,and says having a male doctor doesn’t bother her. Well, itbothers me terribly. I was taught that a couple’s bedroom—what happens there, their nude bodies, etc.—is for themalone. I’m not insecure, and I know she isn’t leaving me, but Istrongly feel that her being seen naked by a male practitionerviolates the sanctity and intimacy of our marriage, and I feellike it’s cheating.

Cheating involves having a romance with a personother than your partner, not having him give you a Papsmear. Also, male doctors generally have a femalenurse present while examining a female patient (sothey won’t be accused of any funny business). Therewill be that rare Dr. Pervo, but according to doctors Ispoke to, by week two of their residency, bodies mightas well be giant steaks. So, for a male doctor, yourwife’s “special area” is anything but special; it’s theseventh vagina he’s seen before lunch.

Stamping your feet and denying the obvious—thatthere’s a vast difference between medical touch andsexual touch—helps you manipulate your wife withthis ridiculous notion that she “violates the sanctity” ofyour marriage by getting a male doctor in rotation. So,according to you, what’s special about your marriage

is just that since you tied the knot,no other man has been assigned tosee your wife naked (in a setting more in keeping withperforming an autopsy than staging a seduction). Takeyour “logic” a step further and your wife is two-timingyou by even speaking to people who aren’t you.

People in loving relationships will often accommo-date their partners’ ridiculous requests simply to makethem happy. Your wife might’ve been more willing todo that if only you’d appealed to her sympathy insteadof demanding that she do all the changing while youlift nary a brain cell to consider whether your positionmight be unreasonable. Refusing to even consideranother person’s point of view generally causes themto cling even more firmly to it. Of course, if onlyyou’d look at this through reason-colored glasses,you’d probably acknowledge the reality: If somebodydoes come between you and your wife, it’s unlikely tohappen while she’s upset, afraid and grossed-out dur-ing a medical test. And give doctors a little credit. Ifyou’re a doctor, a woman will take her pants off foryou because you drive a sports car. There’s really noneed to come up with some ploy about scraping hercervix for cancerous cells.

Ivan Trigueros, Bilingual Case Manager

a big part of my job is assisting clients with language barriers. i help with things like translation, appointments, budgeting and housing. at hopes, we help find solutions for people.

the Latino population can be isolated and they don’t always ask questions or know about the types of services available in the community. my job is to figure out how we can help them access those services, either at hopes or through another agency.

it’s a team effort. When we first meet with someone, we do a team assessment to determine which services the client might need. By having effective communication between the clinic, social services, and other departments, we’re able to keep track of a client’s progress and better understand his or her needs. our philosophy is to engage with the client, because the client comes first.

it’s a rewarding job. i know that people need help and that i’m going to help them. i like to see families smile!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Maybe you’re not literally in exile. You haven’t been forced to abandon your home, and you haven’t been driven from your power spot against your will. But you may, nevertheless, be feeling banished or displaced. It could be due to one of the conditions that storyteller Michael Meade names: “We may experience exile as a lack of recognition, a period of transition, an identity crisis, a place of stuckness, or else having a gift and no place to give it.” Do any of those describe your current predica-ment, Aries? The good news, Meade says, is that exile can shock you awake to the truth about where you belong. It can rouse your irrepressible motivation to get back to your rightful place.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do you have a recurring nightmare that has plagued you? If so, I suspect it will recur again soon. Only this time, Taurus, you will beat it. You will trick or escape or defeat the monster that’s chasing you. Or else you will outrun the molten lava or disperse the tornado or fly up off the ground until the earth stops shaking. Congratulations on this epic shift, Taurus. Forever after you will have more power over the scary thing that has had so much power over you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The following request for advice appeared on Reddit: “My identical twin is stuck in an alternate dimen-sion and she can only communicate with me by appearing as my own reflection in mir-rors and windows. How can I tell her I don’t like what she’s done to her hair?” This ques-tion is a variant of a type of dilemma that many of you Geminis are experiencing right now, so I’ll respond to it here. I’m happy to say that you will soon get an unprecedented chance to commune directly with your alter egos. Your evil twin will be more available than usual to engage in meaningful dialogue. So will your doppelgänger, your shadow, your mirror self and your stunt person.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Usually I advise Cancerians to draw up precise borders and maintain clear boundaries. As a crab myself, I know how important it is for our well-being that we neither leak our life force all over everything nor allow others to leak their life force all over us. We thrive on making definitive choices and strong commitments. We get into trouble when we’re wishy-washy about what we want. OK, having said all that fatherly stuff, I now want to grant you a partial and temporary license to get a little wild and fuzzy. Don’t overdo it, of course, but explore the smart fun you can have by breaking some of your own rules and transgressing some of the usual limits.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the course of formulating his theory of evolution, Charles Darwin read many books. He developed a rather ruthless approach to getting what he needed out of them. If there was a particular part of a book that he didn’t find useful, he simply tore it out, cast it aside and kept the rest. I recommend this as a general strategy for you in the coming week, Leo. In every situation you’re in, figure out what’s most valuable to you and hone in on that. For now, forget the irrelevant and extraneous stuff.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here’s a passage from Charles Dickens’ novel Great Expectations: “It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” Judging from the astrological omens, Virgo, I suspect your life may be like that in the coming days. The emotional tone could be sharply mixed with high contrasts between vivid sensations. The nature of your opportunities may seem warm and bright one moment, cool and dark the next. If you regard this as interesting rather than difficult, it won’t be a problem, but rather an adventure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I worked as a hair stylist in Chicago’s Gold Coast for 20 years with some of the most gorgeous women and men in the world,” writes sculp-tor Rich Thomson. “Once I asked a photogra-pher who shot for the big magazines how he picked out the very best models from among all these great-looking people. His response: ‘Flaws. Our flaws are what make us inter-esting, special, and exotic. They define us.’” My challenge to you, Libra, is to meditate on how your supposed imperfections and oddi-ties are essential to your unique beauty. It’s a perfect moment to celebrate—and make good use of—your idiosyncrasies.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The genius of Leonardo da Vinci was in part fueled by his buoyant curiosity. In his work as an artist, musician, inventor, engineer and writer, he drew inspiration from pretty much everything. He’s your role model for the coming week, Scorpio. Just assume that you will find useful cues and clues wherever you go. Act as if the world is full of teachers who have revelations and guidance specifically meant for you. Here’s some advice from da Vinci himself: “It should not be hard for you to stop sometimes and look into the stains of walls, or ashes of a fire, or clouds, or mud or like places, in which, if you consider them well, you may find really marvelous ideas.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ready for a reality check? It’s time to assess how well you know the fundamental facts about where you are located. So, let me ask you: Do you know which direction north is? Where does the water you drink come from? What phase of the moon is it today? What was the indigenous culture that once lived where you live now? Where is the power plant that generates the electricity you use? Can you name any constellations that are currently in the night sky? What species of trees do you see every day? Use these ques-tions as a starting point as you deepen your connection with your specific neighborhood on planet Earth. Get yourself grounded!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There’s a writer I know whose work is brilliant. Her ideas are fascinating. She’s a champion of political issues I hold dear. She’s well-read and smarter than me. Yet her speech is careless and sloppy. She rambles and interrupts herself. She says “uh,” “you know” and “I mean” so frequently, that I find it hard to listen, even when she’s saying things I admire. I considered telling her about this, but decided against it. She’s an acquaintance, not a friend. Instead, I resolved to clean up my own speech—to make sure I don’t do anything close to what she does. This is a strategy I suggest for you, Capricorn: Identify interesting people who are not fully living up to their potential, and change yourself in the exact ways you wish they would change.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The German word Verschlimmbesserung refers to an attempted improvement that actually makes things worse. Be on guard against this, Aquarius. I fear that as you tinker, you may try too hard. I’m worried you’ll be led astray by neurotic perfectionism. To make sure that your enhancements and enrich-ments will indeed be successful, keep these guidelines in mind: 1. Think about how to make things work better, not how to make things look better. 2. Be humble and relaxed. Don’t worry about saving face, and don’t overwork yourself. 3. Forget about short-term fixes; serve long-range goals.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Telling someone your goal makes it less likely to happen,” says musician and businessman Derek Sivers. Numerous studies demon-strate that when you talk about your great new idea before you actually do it, your brain chemistry does an unexpected thing. It gives you the feeling that you have already accomplished the great new idea—thereby sapping your willpower to make the effort necessary to accomplish it! The moral of the story: Don’t brag about what you’re going to do someday. Don’t entertain people at parties with your fabulous plans. Shut up and get to work. This is especially important advice for you right now.

One thing I’m anxiously awaiting is a new self-manufactured government fi-nancial crisis. Come on, folks, this ain’t no time to stop now! I mean, after you get me all tizzied up with the thrills and chills of The Debt Ceiling Drama, The Fiscal Cliff Face-off, and The Sequester Molester, I’m now positively strung out on all these wild episodes of Political Chicken.

And I have total faith that Congress will cook up a juicy new crisis soon, be-cause it sure doesn’t seem to be get-ting distracted with any kind of Jobs/Infrastructure Bill. What up, Boehner? You want to get around to something in that realm? Or are you and your fellow Tea Timers too busy declaring March to be National Tabasco Sauce Month?

Another story I’m waiting for is that of the hardcore Tea Party kook, who, because of Obamacare, now has insurance for his cancer-riddled young son. And because his boy is now getting treatment and feeling better and so forth, maybe the kook has now backed off a bit in his hatred for Barack, Harry and Nancy. Just a bit. As in, you know,

he now admits there’s a chance that Obama really was born in Honolulu. Maybe.

So where is this story? The numbers say it simply has to exist. In fact—well, wait a sec. I work for one of them there newspapers. Hey, if I just described you, Mr. Tea Party Kook, get a hold of us here at the RN&R. I think I can guarantee—cover story, babe!

•Oh, by the way. You did see the story that California is projected to have a balanced budget next year? Just checking. It got kinda buried and lowballed with all the Oscars and Globes and Grammys flying around. But yes, Gov. Brown said that not only do projections show the budget being balanced for California in fiscal ’13/’14, but there’s an actual chance of—wait for it—a surplus! A word rarely seen in stories about government budgets these days. (Various estimates range from a surplus of $1 billion to a deficit of $2 billion).

But wasn’t the Golden State gonna slide off the aforementioned Fiscal

Cliff and into the Pacific about three or four years ago? Gee, funny what can happen when you go ahead and goose those taxes on millionaires.

•Mitt Romney finally got on the tube last week to have a chat with Chris Wallace of Fox. In the interview, Mitt said about his now infamous 47 per-cent video, “It was a very unfortu-nate statement that I made. It’s not what I meant. What I said is not what I believe.”

Hmmmm. “What I said is not what I believe.” As one smart aleck online commented, “Uh, isn’t that called lying?” The funny thing is, I thought that video was the one time that us Americans could see exactly what Mitt believes. Which is why he’s cur-rently appearing in La Jolla and not Washington. Ω

Make your destinyCharles “Chuck” Kazemi doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who’d start a clothing line, but he did. His idea is simple: Wear your mantra on your chest. The mantra he sells is Make Your Momentum, and he says that people who wear the shirts get a constant reminder that they are in charge of their own destiny. Kazemi took his own advice when he sent an email to this paper just when we needed an interview for 15 Minutes. See the T-shirts on the web at www.makeyourmomentum.com or like him on Facebook www.facebook.com/makeyourmomentum.

Tell me a little about Make Your Momentum.Make Your Momentum is an idea we came up with in October 2012. It was an idea to get some friends involved in a T-shirt cloth-ing line. Not even a clothing line, for that matter, just a way to do something fun that we could enjoy. The reason I wanted to get some folks involved in it was because the more positive people [there are], the great-er the likelihood of success. The success would be greater the louder the voice is. We’re having fun with it. We’ve done a lot of cool stuff. We call it a positive attitude lifestyle movement. We’re just trying to get some minds moving in the right direction: If you dream big and you push hard, you can achieve anything.

I think those are all good ideas, but how does that come about from a T-shirt?Our motto for Make Your Momentum is Desire+Drive: As big as you can dream, as hard as you can push. Essentially, keeping that message close to mind and close to heart. Some people need a rubber band or a tattoo somewhere visible to kind of remind them to quit smoking—we’ve pretty much … come up with the idea that if you live the attitude, you live the lifestyle. The philosophy for the T-shirt is the only way we know how to do it. But we’re proof that it’s possible because we started with nothing and we’re making something. It’s all because we’re aware of how much we want something, and what we’re going to do to go after it. That’s pretty much it. Being aware and having a constant remind-er that you have so much potential, and you need to focus on that more often.

What were you doing before you started this T-shirt line?I’ve got a full-time desk job. I’m a vendor at Microsoft Licensing.

What do you do for Microsoft?I work in the department called Windows Store. It’s essentially a brand new program that was released with Windows 8 that allows developers and OEMs such as HP or Dell to have an app program where the consumer can purchase apps and stuff like that.

So these T-shirts sound sports related to me.The big thing about Make Your Momentum is a lot of people think physical momentum is what we’re trying to suggest, and that’s not necessarily the case. Physical momen-tum is the best example that people may personally relate to—“Yeah, you know, I’ll wear it to the gym.” And in all honesty, it’s a made-in-America T-shirt, it’s 100 percent cotton, it’s a super-fashionable shirt, but it doesn’t really belong in the gym. They’re that comfortable, and people think it belongs there, but that’s the biggest issue I have, is separating the idea that it’s not just a physical attitude, it’s a mental attitude. It’s a lifestyle attitude that if you change your mind, you put yourself in better situations to achieve. It’s not just for sports, but we actu-ally promote sports, too. We actually just sponsored an MMA fighter over the weekend. Ω
