Fly, be free Welcome to this week’s Reno News & Review. My son, Hunter, graduated high school last week. He turns 18 on July 4. He’s off to college on the East Coast in August. I know he’s going to do well. Except for a slight teenaged spaciness, he’s directed, not over-anxious or ambitious, and fairly well adjusted. He’s a good kid in ways I never was. I’ve got to be honest, though. I don’t know how much of the credit I earned for this. I’m horrible at talking about my emotions, and I’m pretty sure he’s every bit as repressed where that is concerned. I never encouraged him to be especially social; I hope he doesn’t hole up in a dorm room. I don’t think I ever forced him in directions he didn’t want to go. The only exception to that I can think of was forcing him to drive at 16, but again, that was supposed to expand his horizons. If anything, he’s had too much self-determination, but that quality is in his DNA. His mother and I discussed ways to allow him to be his own person from before he was even conceived (physically, not metaphorically). Parents get a lot of the blame when their kids go wrong. They get a lot of the credit when kids go right. I don’t think either is necessarily earned. I mean, if I look for ways I positively influenced him and compare them to the positive ways he influenced me, the benefit was mostly mine. I think one thing I did well was I never laid a finger on him. My parents beat me routinely—hands to paddles to straps to fists—and I never got over my offended sense of justice. I’m sure I yelled too many times, but maybe I didn’t damage his psyche much. I guess the shrink will let me know in 20 years or so. So what is a parent’s contribution? You encourage your children in the right ways and try not to discourage inquisitiveness. You try to be honest about the banal things in life without fostering cynicism. You foster self-confidence, and try to set an example of work ethic. You just treat them like you wish you’d been treated, right? I don’t know. It doesn’t seem like enough, but somehow it’s going to have to be.

Government should support church schools Re “Wealth redistribution” (Letters to the Editor, March 19): I recently picked up a RN&R, and glanced through it while waiting for a table. I took a moment to read a few of the letters to the editor. The one labeled “Wealth Distribution” by Janice Flanagan of Reno stood out. Here are her words, but in a different order. “We have precious few tax dollars and must use them wisely. Public tax money should be used to educate all children. Certainly parents can choose how and where to educate their children.” OK, so I agree with this so far. But then the rest of the letter: “I do not believe we should use public money to support private schools. The Republicans in our Legislature are using the legal fiction of tax credits to businessmen who donate money (so-called Opportunity Scholarships) to students who attend private, even religious schools. This is being done under the guise of school choice. Public tax money should not be used in this manner.” The first paragraph makes perfect sense. The next paragraph, I see that Janice refers to “The Republicans,” “religious schools” and “Opportunity Scholarships” in a very negative tone. It appears that what she means is: Public tax money should be used to educate all children as long as they do not go to private religious schools with the aid of an Opportunity Scholarship authored by a Republican. I pay tax dollars to public schools, by choice I sent all my children to private religious schools. My children have flourished in that environment. I have neither asked for or received financial assistance to do so. I believe every child should have the same opportunity that my children have had regardless of financial ability. The students at these private religious schools work very hard to achieve their goals. Why would anyone shame a politician for trying to include hardworking students of an opportunity that their parents might not otherwise be able to offer?

Our Mission To publish great newspapers that are successful and enduring. To create a quality work environment that encourages people to grow professionally while respecting personal welfare. To have a positive impact on our communities and make them better places to live.

I am so tired of hate, negativity and narrow-minded thinking. The prejudice needs to end. I hope to see a day when all work towards a common goal of an exceptional educational opportunity, without waste of any resources. By the way, private schools are doing an exceptional job of educating students at a lower cost than the public schools. Perhaps public schools could implement some of the cost savings already used by private schools? Julie Wientjes Reno Editor’s note: For what it’s worth, on Nov. 5, 1878 Nevadans voted to amend the Nevada Constitution to add this language to Article 2, the article covering education: “No public funds of any kind or character whatever, State, County or Municipal, shall be used for sectarian purpose.” The vote was 97 percent to 3 percent. A similar measure was approved in 1938.

Foundation Re “Pack of liars” (Editorial, April 23): I just responded to a comment on the on-line Providence Journal that flabbergasted me. I wondered if a person had a “theory of history.” I do know that Karl Marx at least believed that a science of history was possible. The person flatly denied that science—the scientific method— could be applied to human society. I thought it was no coincidence that he was also a political reactionary and a climate change denier. I recalled the famous Henry Ford quote: History is bunk. A Google search took me to your excellent editorial. Could our ruling class now believe that life itself is meaningless? But they intend to live it up at the expense of the rest of humanity? Ron Ruggieri Cranston, Rhode Island

Re “Introduction” (RN&R newsletter, June 11): Ah, the challenge in the Reno News & Review to tell you something that you didn’t already know. OK, here goes: How do you pronounce “Kuenzli” as in Kuenzli Street, which runs between E. Second St. and the river? If you pronounced it as “Koon-zlee,” as most people do, you get the big gong. If you said “Kinz-lee,” you got it right. So how do I know this? Judy Kuenzli was in my Reno High School class of 1956, and she pronounced it “Kinz-lee.” Her family owned property in that area and sold or gave a portion of it to the city of Reno for construction of the street, as I recall. I realize that this is of little interest to anyone, besides me and probably my friend, Karl Breckenridge. John Metzker Reno Editor’s note: We’ve been doing a weekly email newsletter for a couple of years now. This letter is referring to the newsletter. The Reno GazetteJournal has recently started its own newsletter that seems, at the very least, admiring of ours. So, exhibiting our keen sense of irony, last week we wrote our newsletter in a voice that imitated their voice imitating our voice. As intended, it was stupid, but the irony was somehow lost on some readers. (Not ours.) You can sign up for our newsletter here: www.newsreview.com/reno/local/ MyNR It’s usually funnier than it is ironic, except when Dennis writes it. And yes, potato was intentionally misspelled in the earlier headline. Incidentally, during his years at KOLO News, Dennis did a ratings series on the origin of Reno/Sparks street names in which he tried to correct the prounciation of Kuenzli. Ignorance weathered his effort.

It’s not immaterial This letter is in response to the coverage of the court decision concerning Cleveland Police Officer Michael Brelo.

I listened to Cuyahoga Common Pleas Judge John P. O’Donnell read his decision and found his thought process reasonable given the series of events he was required to describe. Whether or not you agree with his decision is immaterial given that the law has spoken. And certainly people can protest peacefully and work to improve the system that produced such a catastrophe. Still, there are no innocent parties here. Certainly Timothy Russell should have obeyed the order of a police officer to stop. What other lives were placed in harm’s way because he chose to continue fleeing? But why does it require so many police cruisers to join in a high-speed chase? Given the length of the travel why couldn’t some sort of blockade have been set up to stop the person fleeing? Russell and Malissa Williams did not have to die because the ultimate cause of their death could have been prevented. And what does this say about a potential diversionary tactic that could be employed by domestic/foreign terrorists on American soil? For those of you in the AfricanAmerican community who are tempted to be filled with rage and hatred at every white police officer, I can only say that I had a member of my family, Patrolman Hilary Cudnik, believed to be the distant cousin of my Uncle Boley Cudnik, who was killed in the act of performing his duty. But he was killed by an AfricanAmerican. Because of the influence handed down to me from my paternal grandfather, Albert Joseph Bialek and my mother, I did not react to Hilary’s murder like most people did. I never believed that looting and burning down businesses would solve anything and would certainly not bring him back. My AfricanAmerican brothers and sisters please refrain from engaging in violence as it will only exacerbate the situation. But rather let our two communities come together in reconciliation and love to make Cleveland once again the best city in the nation, if for no other reason than to have achieved racial harmony once and for all.

Should government subsidize art? Asked at the Reno Main Post Office, 2000 Vassar St. Bernice Martin Mathews Business owner

Of course, it should. Why should it? Because all of us have to have some art in our lives to be full or whole.

Terry O’Hara Salesperson

No. No reason to. There’s plenty of private organizations to do that.

Wanted: Public counsel The Washoe County School Board’s next lawyer should be a deputy district attorney. The board should not hire another in-house counsel. It should certainly not sign up a law firm. Over the last year or so, the board has gotten into several disputes in which it checked with its lawyer, Randy Drake, and he told them, “Uh-huh, you’re doing fine.” And then the state attorney general’s office ruled that, no, they weren’t doing fine, that, in fact, they were breaking the open meeting law. In fact, Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto last year broke with all previous state policy and set a new precedent—that public officials will be held at fault when they follow their lawyer’s advice. That being so, the choice of a new lawyer becomes all the more important. The school board is made up not of professional politicians, but everyday folks from around town—a management consultant, a restaurant owner, a teacher, a retiree, and so on. That’s one of the board’s strengths, but it also leaves its members vulnerable to office politics. In the course of unloading Drake as their in-house counsel, for instance, the board members seemed not to realize that they needed to instruct their lawyers—members of a private law firm hired to work out an agreement with Drake. He accepted a demotion to a non-legal position on condition that the board agree not to explain to the public any of the negative reasons he was departing as board counsel, thus leaving the board members at the mercy of public criticism. They would be unable to explain the situation to members of the public. In our opinion, they should have told their lawyers, “Randy Drake doesn’t get to set conditions. His incompetence has led us to this point. Go back to the negotiations and tell him his gag-order is a non-starter.” OPINION

Yes. I mean, art’s a really big deal in this country. It really expresses how people feel about things. … It’s something different. It shows how people want to feel about everything. It really shows who they are and what it means to them.

The law firm the board hired should have known not to put board members in that position. Their concern was the board members, not the public, which has a right to information. The school board needs legal counsel that is independent, free to advise in ways that aid both the board and the public. A deputy district attorney works for an independently elected official accountable to voters. The school board also needs legal counsel that is independent from the board itself, so she or he will feel free to tell the board members what they may not want to hear but need to hear. Finally, the school board needs legal counsel that enjoys as much insulation as possible from the camaraderie of the legal community, so one law firm will not be getting too cozy with other law firms. All of these, in fact, should be public policy affecting all boards and agencies. Non-public counsel is out of hand. As a nice bonus, if the school board uses a deputy district attorney instead of a law firm, it will save money. Not just a little money, a lot of money. As we noted in May, when the Washoe Airport Authority switched in 1989 from a deputy D.A. costing five figures to a law firm, within seven years it had legal bills in six figures—dollars paid to nine law firms (“Drake demoted,” May 21). It won’t be easy. District Attorney Chris Hicks informs us he does not have the budget for it. “It’s a heavy lift,” he said. But the school board has money budgeted for legal counsel, and having competent counsel for the last year would have saved a couple of lawsuit settlements. The district attorney’s office has provided fine counsel to the Washoe County Commission for years. It should do the same for the Washoe County School Board. Ω |

Yes, because art’s good for the public and it provides an opportunity for growth in that area. And I think the arts are probably underfunded, anyway.

Celebrate Paul Gowins’ life Paul Gowins was a champion of the human spirit and a hero to many in the field of human services, especially to people with disabilities who wanted to live independently. He used his personal knowledge about the challenges of disabilities to create change in a state known for its miserly ways. by Paul passed away last week after Sheila Leslie a protracted illness when a cold turned into pneumonia. He had been confined to a wheelchair for many years after an accident left the burly construction worker a quadriplegic for life. Many of us might have been consumed with self pity in similar circumstances, but Paul turned his significant abilities and energy toward becoming an effective advocate instead. Paul accepted employment with the state in the Office of Community-Based Services, working on independent living programs and job opportunities, insisting that people with disabilities receive every

right they deserved through the Americans with Disabilities Act. He also served as the executive director of the Northern Nevada Center for Independent Living until a car accident forced an early retirement. Despite numerous hospitalizations and health issues, Paul continued to serve his community as a volunteer. He was the chair of the Commission on Services for People with Disabilities and worked hard to get personal care attendants a pay raise. Paul’s relentless advocacy was truly his vocation. Legislators from both parties, such as Jan Evans and Bill Raggio, relied on his leadership and advice. He would chuckle when he told the story of how he became a Republican so he could vote for Dawn Gibbons in a primary. The only cross word he ever had with me, and he was none too gentle about it, was when I moved into his neighborhood and had to resign my Senate seat representing a district less than a mile away. He understood my need to move to a smaller

house, but he thought I was being reckless in jeopardizing a seat in the Legislature when there was still so much more to do on behalf of the people he cared about so deeply. When I lost that close race, one of my first thoughts was how hard it was going to be to face Paul. When Paul approached the witness table during a budget hearing, every legislator listened to him. He spoke forceably and without notes, always to the point. During the recession, as deep cuts were made in human services, he worked even harder, although it was increasingly difficult for him to get around. During a Special Session, I reluctantly asked him to testify on the Assembly floor in a Committee of the Whole, knowing what a burden it would be on him and his caretaker, but he immediately agreed to come. His testimony convinced the Legislature to preserve essential services and direct the cuts elsewhere. Paul’s ability to weave a story about a person with disabilities

into a policy decision earned him the W. Clark Santini Cup for Oral Communication. He also was awarded the Mike O’Callaghan Humanitarian Award by the Human Services Network, its highest honor. A celebration of Paul’s life will be held Friday, June 19th, at the Reno Elks Lodge from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Instead of flowers, his family has asked that contributions be sent in Paul’s name to the Nevada Center for Independent Living or Care Chest of Sierra Nevada. There’s no doubt that’s what he would have wanted, to keep helping others even as his friends and family mourn his passing. Paul was one of the most inspiring and selfless people I ever met. His courage and willingness to speak the unvarnished truth about what people with disabilities need and deserve is unparalleled. Rest in peace, my friend. You’ve earned it. Ω

The Silk Road to nowhere A federal judge recently sentenced a 31-yearold man with no criminal record to life in prison for running a website. Russ Ulbricht ran the Silk Road on the dark net. Many don’t know that Google-style search engines only sweep 30 percent of the internet. The other 70 percent by Brendan is accessible on The Onion Router Trainor (TOR) through a freely downloadable browser. The dark web is perfectly legal, used for legitimate research purposes. The dark web is anonymous, as the digital packets are rerouted over and over through servers in multiple nations. The dark net has its illicit side, however. There are assassination sites and child porn and hacker sites. But Ulbricht was not running that kind of site. Ulbricht is an Agorist. Agorism is a branch of libertarian anarchy that builds voluntary alternative markets to provide a way for people to exchange forbidden but desired items. Agorists want to

decrease the violence in society by making non-violent black market transactions between willing buyers and sellers as safe and secure as possible. If you buy the product peer-to-peer on your computer instead of in a dark alley with a criminal drug dealer, the black market violence caused by prohibition will be significantly lessened. The Silk Road website offered a Bitcoin encrypted exchange that consumers ultimately controlled by rating their satisfaction publicly, like Uber does. Silk Road specifically forbade any vendors offering child pornography or murder or fraud. There was a vibrant forum to discuss Agorist ideas. The owner of the Silk Road called himself “Dread Pirate Roberts,” based on the Princess Bride character who said he was just one of many DPRs. Silk Road had over 100,000 customers purchasing illegal drugs, banned gun products, and other illicit goods.

Then Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, saw the Silk Road website and was shocked— shocked!—to find this sort of thing right in the open, and demanded DPR’s head. DPR was tracked down through an old email address that linked Ulbricht to him. Ulbricht was arrested in a coffee shop with a laptop containing a journal that linked him to Silk Road and the DPR alter ego. That was enough to convict. There were allegations Ulbricht betrayed his principles to order a hit on a former employee, but they were never presented at his trial. There are corruption charges against some of the investigators for stealing Bitcoins for themselves. Worse than the conviction was the sentencing on May 29. Judge Katherine Forest shockingly gave Ulbricht a life sentence for a first offense. The prosecutors produced parents who claimed their child overdosed on drugs purchased on Silk Road. But the defense

produced evidence that Silk Road actually saved lives by reducing drug gang turf wars and violent police action. The prosecution’s theory would charge Craigslist because someone you met there gave you an STD. In fact, government nannies regularly try to take down websites that facilitate sex work. If they succeed, they only increase the violence in sex workers’ lives. Government laws enforce a pain-oriented society driven by a Calvinist ethic that values work as an end in itself, not as a means to provide for the needs of individuals, including erotic and consciousness-altering needs. The judge saw only the law, not the harms caused by the law. The dark web, 3-D printing, and cyber currencies are here to stay. They will outlast the state. If Dread Pirate Roberts is condemned, many new Dread Pirates will appear— indeed, they already have. Ω

Republicans crowded into Dilworth Middle School in Sparks for the 2012 presidential caucuses.

Listen up, kids. For months, a claim has been bouncing around Nevada journalism. Laura Myers/Las Vegas Review Journal: “The last time the GOP controlled all of Nevada government was in 1929.” Michael Green/Asseveration: “This marked the first time Republicans controlled all six statewide offices and both houses of the Legislature since 1929.” Associated Press Carson City bureau: “Nevada Republicans heralded Nov. 4 as the start of a brave new world, with the party taking control of the Assembly, Senate and every constitutional office for the first time in state history.” Nevada AFL-CIO news release: “In Nevada, for the first time since 1929, the Republican Party controls all Constitutional offices and both houses of the Legislature.” Samantha Coachman/Huffing tonPost: “After Republicans took full control of the state’s government for the first time since 1929 ...” The assertion even appeared here in the RN&R. We apologize to our columnist Sheila Leslie for not catching it when she referred to “a state government under complete Republican control for the first time since 1929.” A writer named Mark Z. Barabbas at the Los Angeles Times came up with his own variant—that there has never been a Republican sweep in Nevada: “Republicans not only seized control of the Legislature—giving them full run of the capitol for the first time since 1929—but also staged an unprecedented sweep of statewide offices” (emphasis added). OK, here’s what we know about 1929. Yes, the Republicans took control of both houses of the Nevada Legislature, but no, they did not sweep all state government offices elected statewide. Democrats still held the statewide offices of secretary of state (William Greathouse, in his second term), attorney general (Michael Diskin, in his second term), and state printer (Joe Farnsworth, in his fifth term). As best we can tell, the last time Republicans controlled both houses of the Legislature and all state government offices elected statewide was in 1890. That included not just constitutional officers like governor, surveyor general, and supreme court justice (all partisan elections then), but also state government offices elected statewide that were created by statute, such as state printer and state school superintendent—a whopping 13 offices that all went Republican on a single date. And that doesn’t include one federal office, the state’s lone U.S. House member, which also went to the GOP. In the Legislature that year, the Democrats were left with only two members of the 20-member Senate and five members of the 40-member Assembly.

Stonewall The Reno Gazette-Journal last week quoted local officials saying that one of the reasons they were reluctant to allow souvenir pieces of the Virginia Street Bridge to be given or sold was that they wanted “to be sensitive to concerns of local historians who may think it’s inappropriate to sell off pieces of an historic structure.” That didn’t sound like local historians we know, so we asked the city who they were. A city spokesperson referred us to Kristine Hansen at the Army Corps of Engineers. Hansen suggested we contact the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office. She also added that her office “has received no comments from the public regarding sale of pieces of the bridge.” State historic preservation officer Rebecca Palmer, in turn, told us her office had not been consulted on the matter. We called some local historians, and none of them knew anything about it. “No one asked me,” said Phil Earl. “I don’t see what the big deal is. I think it’s fine if people want to have a souvenir of the bridge. I don’t understand why they don’t just put them out there and let people carry them off.” The RGJ story also quoted one official saying the city would face “potential safety issues with handing out jagged chunks of concrete.” When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, pieces about an inch wide were sold in convenience stores.

JUNE 18, 2015

Close call Nevada’s early presidential year spot is saved The Nevada Legislature’s decision not to step into the issue of how the state’s delegates to national presidential by nominating conventions are selected Dennis Myers has some Republicans concerned. The lawmakers chose not to enact a bill creating a Nevada presidential primary election. That bill threatened to end Nevada’s early place in the nominating calendar. The state got a lot of publicity in 2008 and 2012 when it was given a starring secondround role.

“Republican legislators were trying to completely diaper the libertarian wing.” Fred Lokken Political analyst The Legislature’s action left Nevada presidential caucuses in place, which was key to the state keeping its early date. The way the early calendar has shaken down over the years is that Iowa and New Hampshire go first— the first caucuses in Iowa, the first primary in New Hampshire. Then they are followed by Nevada and South Carolina—the second caucuses in Nevada, the second primary in South Carolina. Those are all in February. All other caucuses and primaries follow starting in March.

The fact that Nevada has caucuses instead of a primary got it the early slot in the first place. In 2008, coaxed by U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic National Committee awarded the early position in the presidential nominating race to Nevada, elevating the state’s visibility and possibly its issues. Though they were suspicious of anything associated with Reid, Nevada Republicans went along with holding their caucuses on the same day as the Democrats, drawing additional attention to the state. The GOP caucuses attracted more than 40,000 participants in 2008, and more than 30,000 in 2012—still more than turned out before Nevada got the early berth. Changing Nevada to a primary election instead of caucuses would throw a monkey wrench in both political parties’ calendars and likely would have prompted the national parties to revoke Nevada’s early status. Other caucus states would have been lining up to displace Nevada as the second caucus state. There had already been some talk of Nevada losing the slot, with Colorado—a caucus state—a prime candidate to replace Nevada. “When Nevada was moved up in the process as an early state it was contingent on Nevada as a caucus state, not a primary,” Reid aide Kristen Orthman told the New York Times in an email. The Republicans have had more anxiety over the caucuses than just their association with Reid. There is

ongoing tension between established Republicans and insurgents who are often highly motivated and outorganize the traditionalists. Nevada political parties have used caucuses virtually through the state’s entire history, though the term “caucus” to describe them is relatively new. They were usually called mass meetings or precinct meetings—the correct term under state law. They are held not just in presidential years but in all election years, because they are not just used for nominating convention delegate selection, but for regular party business as well. And even when the state has used presidential primaries, the precinct meetings were still held for selection of delegates. Caucuses are basically neighborhood meetings, in which registered voters in a precinct choose one or more of their neighbors to go to the party’s county convention, setting in motion the process that leads to a handful of Nevadans going to a national convention. Nevada Republican traditionalists have had difficulty getting along with new groups coming into the party— particularly libertarian supporters of presidential candidate Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012. Mitt Romney won Nevada both years, but his supporters did not get to the county and state conventions, when national convention delegates are selected, in as big numbers as the Paulists, prompting rough tactics against Paul’s forces. In 2008, established party leaders adjourned the GOP state convention when Paulists were about to win the delegate count and elect their candidates for national convention seats. In 2012, the Nevada Paulists won the national convention delegation and were intending to vote for Romney at the convention in accordance with the outcome of the Nevada caucuses. But then the national convention changed the rules at the last minute to prevent Paul from addressing the convention in prime time and the Nevada Paulists revolted. The ill treatment of the Paulists led to the state party machinery—now in their hands—being unavailable to Romney during the fall campaign, forcing the traditionalists to set up a sort of party-in-exile to support the Massachusetts governor. With Ron Paul’s son Rand planning to run for president in 2016—and likely to command a similar level of enthusiasm in Nevada—the traditionalists turned to state law to try to create a national convention process they could control better, akin to the way the Democrats created “superdelegate” seats for party elected

officials and other big shots to be able to override the results of caucuses and primaries. “The Republican legislators were trying to completely diaper the libertarian wing of the party,” said political analyst Fred Lokken. He said established GOP leaders were willing to do anything to control the libertarians, “up to and including removing Nevada from the frontloaded calendar,” which he called foolish. The legislation would have bound delegates “to vote [for the winners of primaries] at each stage of the presidential nomination process at the national convention.” If similar rules had been in place in earlier years, they could have bound Democratic national convention delegates to John Edwards after his adultery became known, or could have bound Republican delegates to vote for candidates like Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum who suspended their faltering campaigns but did not actually drop out of the race. Presidential nominating delegates need—both during state contests and during national conventions—to be able to adjust to rapidly changing conditions and fields of candidates. Binding them undercuts their ability to do that. Moreover, some legislators considered it a topic for party rules, not state law. In addition, instead of slating the presidential primary as a single event, the regular primary election for state offices was moved back under one presidential primary bill, meaning the

state would be subjected to an eightmonth general election campaign instead of the current five-month campaign, which many Nevadans already consider too long. It’s useful to remember that the political parties are private organizations. The Democratic Party of Nevada is incorporated with the Secretary of State’s office as a “domestic non-profit cooperative association.” The Republican Party of Nevada is not currently incorporated, which may be a product of the 2012 party split. Several county Republican parties are incorporated as “domestic non-profit corporations.” Because the parties are private groups, the Clark County Registrar of Voters office tries to head off inquiries about the caucuses by posting this on its website: “The Clark County Election Department is not involved in the conduct of caucuses and you should contact the Democratic or Republican party for information.” As private groups, the political parties normally resist state laws to dictate their operations. For instance, they oppose requiring open primaries in order to prevent mischief like members of the Democratic Party crossing over to help choose weak Republican candidates in primary elections, and vice versa. So the decision by some Republican leaders to try to use state law to settle an intraparty feud was a departure from normal party policy. Ω

Markets are back PHOTO/DENNIS MYERS

Farmers markets in Sparks are back in business at their same locations. The downtown market—shown here—is now operating under a new name (39 North Marketplace, whatever that means) and is open every Thursday evening from 4 to 9. The Sparks United Methodist Church market is held each Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1231 Pyramid Way. The downtown market, as always, has additional street fair-type attractions.

In late May, Andy Bass—Reno’s director of parks, recreation and community services—said Wingfield and Barbara Bennett parks would go pesticidefree. When the news came through at a City Council meeting, a local woman by Georgia Fisher named Sandy Rowley kissed a surprised-looking Bass on the cheek as the crowd cheered. geo rg iaf@ It’s a start, everyone acknowledged, “But we do need to get to 100 newsr evie w.c om percent pesticide-free,” said Mayor Hillary Schieve, who admitted to having “heart palpitations” when Rowley told the council about recent Easter egg hunts on chemical-laden grass. Reno mostly uses glyphosate, the ubiquitous herbicide found in the weed killer Roundup. (If you’ve done much gardening or paid someone to weed your lawn, odds are you’ve sprayed this stuff, authorized it or specifically decided against it). In March, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer deemed glyphosate a likely carcinogen. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, anyone using the chemical should wear a respirator. Though toxic to aquatic organisms, it “does not enter the environment under normal use,” per the CDC website. “Great care, however, should be given to avoid any additional release, e.g. through inappropriate disposal.” Rowley believes pesticide exposure made her seriously ill around 18 months ago. “If you are running down the sidewalk by a park, the city or the county could have just sprayed something highly carcinogenic in that area,” she said. “Your schools, your city playgrounds, your public walking spaces—they’re loaded with chemicals.” Her attempt last year to make more than 20 Sparks parks and Idlewild in Reno pesticide-free (“Parks and rec,” Sept. 4, 2014 RN&R) got the nod from city officials, but fell through when the scope of work became clear. This time, at Rowley’s urging, a Washington, D.C., group called Beyond Pesticides has offered free training for Reno city staff if they’ll commit to changing their practices. On June 10, the City Council agreed to vet the idea. As for the cost, “it depends on what we implement,” parks manager Jeff Mann said later. “It may be just a representative number of parks across town. It may be no cost. We may just not spray any product at all, and we may just deal with the weeds manually, or let them go. That’s what council will decide when we take the program back to them.” Beyond Pesticides doesn’t replace harmful products with less-harmful ones, organization spokesman Drew Toher said. “Our focus is creating a system that is more resilient to weed pressure, that resists weeds and insects,” he said. “Essentially, we focus on cultural practices, [such as] proper mowing and aeration. … Putting the focus on the health of the soil, the health of the microbes in the soil, is really important in order to create that resilient system.” In short, a flourishing park may not need chemicals in the first place. Expenses are likely to increase a bit at first, Toher said, “but they’re more than made up for once the organic system is in place. The costs go down significantly, because you don’t need the consistent product input you had prior. You kind of kick the habit.” Ω OPINION

What’s the role of the Riverside Artist Lofts in Reno’s art community?

Rich VanGogh describes the Riverside Artist Lofts, the building where he lives, as “The Riverslide Artist Laughs,” among other names. He’s lived there since 2011, and although he describes it as the “greatest building in Reno,” he’s frustrated with the management of the building, which provides low-income housing for artists. He said that the building lacks some amenities that working artists might need.

“We don’t even have a community workspace,” he said. “If you want to saw a piece of wood, you’ve got to either drag it out into the parking lot or saw it in your loft. … I want to see the artists’ lofts have an organization and some really decent space, some decent signage, and create a 501(c)(3) where we could do something for this town that apparently Sierra Arts doesn’t care to do. I want this building open to the public, and I will not rest until I achieve that.” The Riverside Artist Lofts is south of the intersection of Reno’s most central road, Virginia Street, and the city’s most central geographic feature, the Truckee River. According to Historic Houses and Buildings of Reno, Nevada by Holly Walton-Buchanan, the Riverside occupies the site of the first building in town, Myron Lake’s hotel, built in 1868. A larger hotel in the same location was completed in 1907, although it later burned down. The current building was commissioned by prominent Reno businessman George Wingfield, designed by famous Reno architect Frederic DeLongchamps, and completed in 1927. For decades, the Riverside Hotel was a destination for folks looking to establish Nevada residency during Reno’s heyday as the nation’s divorce capital. But the hotel closed in 1986, and was slated for demolition in the same short-sighted wave of destruction that claimed the iconic Mapes Hotel in 2000. The Riverside was reprieved partly through the efforts of two nonprofit organizations, Sierra Arts, a local foundation that supports the arts, and Artspace, a Minnesota-based nonprofit real-estate developer that specializes in artist housing. The two organizations

NIGHTCLUBS/CASINOS

worked with the city to repurpose the building as low-income housing for artists. It reopened as the Riverside Artist Lofts the same year that the Mapes was destroyed. Considering its historic location and legacy, and its geographic centrality, some residents believe that the Riverside should be a hub for the Reno arts scene. Other residents feel that the purpose of the building isn’t to put the artists on display but instead to provide them with a place to work without external pressures—and that the low rent is there to encourage them to focus on their creative practices rather than full-time day jobs. This difference in perspectives has led to some bickering and griping over the decade and a half since the artist lofts opened. A major point of contention has long been who gets to live in the building—should successful artists who no longer qualify for Housing and Urban Development low-income housing be allowed to stay? What about elderly, sick or just disinterested artists no longer producing work?

Open hOuse VanGogh is an artist, and he also manages and curates a gallery, Liberty Fine Arts Gallery. He said he started that gallery in 2012 partly in reaction to a lack of exhibition opportunities at the artist lofts. He describes the Riverside as a “black hole” in downtown Reno and said he’s heard prominent local politicians and business leaders say the same thing. “It should be open to the public,” he said. “It should be the cornerstone of the arts district, which this is not. People look at this building and say, ‘What is it? What’s

exhibits his work regularly all over the community. â€œSierra Arts has been a huge support for me. Theyâ€™ve been very engaged with me and other people in the building.

According to the residency application, â€œThis committee [is] made up of fellow artists and/or owner representatives.

She said that although no special consideration or privilege is granted to resident artists during exhibition programming or curation, the resident artists are encouraged to apply for exhibitions. â€œThe artists who are in the building are invited, as are any artists in the community, to have their work exhibited in our gallery space,â€? she said. â€œTheir work has to go through our normal procedure. We have a panel that chooses work for the space. Weâ€™ve also, through the years, had several little pop-up exhibitions specifically for the artists who live and work here. â€Ś We want our artists to be working at the highest level, and if their work is submitted, and it goes through that process, weâ€™re delighted when weâ€™re able to have artists in the gallery from the building.â€? â€œIâ€™ve had a very good experience with Sierra Arts,â€? said Erik Holland, a painter who lives in the Riverside and

The inexpensive rent is part of the appeal, but there are other HUD housing opportunities. And although residents have to initially qualify for HUD housing, they donâ€™t have to remain poor. â€œThe reason that Artspace claims that they want to do that is that they want to provide housing for emerging artists, but retain successful artists, so if I become successful, which I plan to do in the next couple days, and make a million dollars a year, I can stay here.

And although he acknowledges the key role that Sierra Arts played in saving the building from demolition, he said that the presence of an external arts organization in the building has actually impeded the ability of resident artists to create their own identity. â€œThere really is no Riverside Artist Lofts,â€? he said. â€œThereâ€™s 35 apartments above Sierra Arts. If you look at the building from the front, there isnâ€™t even a sign that identifies it as the Riverside Artist Lofts.â€? (There is a sign for Sierra Arts.) â€œItâ€™s like a conflict of interest.

at the Riverside Artist Lofts. The committee will also review the enclosed Artistic Questionnaire that you will have completed. The Artist Selection Committee screens applicants to determine their participation in, and commitment to, the arts; they do not judge the content of an applicant’s artistic work.” “That’s been the biggest farce since before I got here,” said VanGogh of the selection committees, which he said suffer from cronyism. “Since I’ve got here, there have been people let into the building that have absolutely nothing to do with the arts. … We have way more people here who don’t do art than who do art. About one-third are real troublemakers who don’t do art at all, and about one-third are retired artists who maybe used to do art, but don’t do any art at all anymore.” VanGogh claimed to know at least one resident who showed a family member’s art portfolio in order to get residency in the building. Rumors of similar deceptions—artists padding their CVs or lying about their income—have abounded in the building since it became an artists’ residence. Babcock is dismissive of any rumors of fraudulent artists in the building. “We’ve always been 100 percent low-income, 100 percent artists in the building since we opened it up in 2000,”

he said. And the list of current residents includes some high-profile, well-known local names, and not just visual artists, but also artists associated with other artforms, like music (Jammal Tarkington of Keyser Soze) and theater (Mary Bennett, producing artistic director of Brüka Theatre). But there are also plenty of less recognizable names living in the building. Freddie Houston, the director of Performance Property Management, said that the committee selections are not qualitative evaluations. “We don’t judge a body of work. You just need to have one. … In your interview, you need to talk about yourself. Say I’m an actor. ‘I act. This is my portfolio. I perform once or twice a year, and I’ve been doing it since I was 10.’ I could be a horrible actor. But I keep going to casting calls. I’ve done some local plays, but I’m not going to make it to the big time.” Babcock and Houston both said that resident artists are encouraged to engage with the public individually, as far as hosting open studios. “We welcome that 100 percent, and we always have” said Babcock. “We

“RIVERSIDE EFFECTS” support anything they do. If they want to have … open studios, we’ve had it during Artown in the past. There’s been some interest in having it more often, but nothing has been presented. The only concerns we have is that we have a secure property here, so we just want to make sure that the people coming in and out are monitored so that the tenants in the building aren’t in any way in danger.” Houston said that safety and security concerns have halted previous efforts at organizing open-studio events. “When they did have their open studio, open to the public, they did not provide the proper security, and we’re not going to do that for them. The building is secure, but they needed to maintain that, and they did not have enough participation to do that.” He said that Artspace itself doesn’t engage in any exhibition programming or event planning. “It’s up to the individual group to come up with a collective idea of how they want to portray themselves out to the community. If they choose not to, that’s great. If they choose to, that’s even better. All we do is pay the bills, make sure it’s a clean facility, and those kind of things.

We don’t step in and do any programming. … We just want to facilitate the creative process, in terms of giving them an environment that’s affordable, and they can do their passion.”

Artist stAtement “I think that the artist lofts is a place where people should go and live and make art, and that’s its primary purpose,” said Holland. “I’m leery of downward commandments, if you will, that we should do this or that. That said, I would love to have open houses here.” He said that he’s going to participate in open houses of the Riverside for Artown in July and will also open his loft for the Reno Open Studios event. But, despite his willingness to open up his own loft, he doesn’t think these kind of events should be compulsory for residents. “I think that any tendencies toward setting a self-imposed higher bar, once the artists are in, are wrong-headed and almost Orwellian,” he said. “I do not think that people in the building should be subjected to scrutiny nor do I think they should be told they need to live this or that certain way once they’re in

the building. … In order to get into the building, you have to demonstrate that art is an important part of your life. It is the job of the committee that allows people into the building to make those judgments Once those judgments have been made and people are let into the building, they should be left alone.” That attitude puts a lot of faith in the committees, and more than one resident has expressed the perception that the panels are not as transparent as they once were. “Years ago, when we got in there, we had to sit in front of a panel and then present them with our portfolios and say, ‘Hey, we’re working artists, and here’s what we do,’” said theater director Mary Bennett. “They did an interview process, and that’s continued on over the years—I’m going to say— sporadically. There have been times when different people—people from Sierra Arts and residents—have sat on a panel, and then there have been times when the manager has let people come into the building.” Bennett, who has lived at the lofts for 14 years, said she use to serve on the committee panels often but hasn’t been invited to serve on any in recent

years. “I’d love to see those panels happening—I guess is a really nice way to say that—and to know they’re happening. If they are happening, I think that would be a really positive thing to share with at least the Riverside community so that people knew that and felt like they were part of an artistic community.” According to Bennett, the Reno arts community benefits from the Riverside Artist Lofts even without open house studio visits, and the city benefits from the presence of the landmark building even if every door is not always open to the public. “I think we do beautiful art in this community. It’s helped us to remain residents. It’s helped us to remain professional artists in the community. … I haven’t experienced a bad thing at the artist lofts. I’ve experienced an ability to work as an artist, and that means the world to me. … I think most of the art that people do from there, we do share with Reno.” Ω

WHO: Anthony L. Velazquez WHAT: Owner WHERE: Black Widow Ink Q: What brought you to tat tooing? A: I was brought to tattooing by wild gangsters, who forced me to put gang signs and aztec tattoos on their bodies. Now i am forced by random people to do the same! Q: What’s your favorite style? A: My favorite style of tattooing is dance style! It’s a custom style I perfected. Mostly consists of shaking that ass while laying sick ink! Q: What makes your shop different from others in the area? A: I think what makes my shop special is mostly our ability to make our customers feel welcome. This place is better than “Cheers”, that place sucks compared to my shop. Our shop mascot is a friendly attribute that loves to be petted and kissed!
