Goodman said she was diagnosed with Stage 2A cancer in her right breast, but her medical team told her it was “completely contained, manageable and can successfully be treated.” Goodman, 79, said she had four upcoming treatments scheduled. GOLDEN KNIGHTS TRADE Brad Hunt, a popular but little-used 30-yearold defenseman, was traded January 21 to the Minnesota Wild. The Knights coupled Hunt with a sixth-round draft pick in exchange for a fifthrounder, giving Vegas three picks in the fifth round of this year’s draft.

GOODIE TWO SHOES STRUTS TOWARD MILESTONE GOAL

In February, Goodie Two Shoes will meet its milestone goal of serving more than 100,000 children. The nonprofit was founded 15 years ago by San Diego Chargers player Tony Berti and his wife, Nikki, to provide properly fitting shoes to at-risk youths in Las Vegas. For homeless students in the Valley, shoes are a necessity often skipped, said Lovely Mempin, programming assistant and volunteer coordinator for the nonprofit. The Goodie Two Shoes foundation fills this void and also provides other necessities, such as socks, books, backpacks, hygiene and dental kits. The nonprofit is almost entirely volunteerbased and relies on the public to propel its efforts. To volunteer, donate or learn more, visit goodietwoshoes.org. —Camalot Todd

SLOAN CANYON ARTIST-INRESIDENCE PROGRAM DEBUTS Often overshadowed by Red Rock Canyon to the northwest and Lake Mead to the South, Sloan Canyon is finally getting a little attention. The 48,428-acre national conservation area near Henderson is debuting an artist-in-residence program. With the goal of promoting the area’s scenic beauty and cultural history through art, the program includes artist-guided hikes, open studio hours, a two-week on-site residency period, public programs and an art exhibition. Japan-born artist and UNLV student Nanci Clyde is the first-place winner, and Brenda Cebular came in second. Clyde uses programs like Adobe Photoshop to create art inspired by Japanese illustration that explores the mysteries of the universe. For this residency, she turns her digital pen toward the “historic structures, artifacts, cultural landscapes, the local ecosystem and wildlife” of Sloan Canyon, according to a news release. The program is sponsored by the Bureau of Land Management, College of Southern Nevada and Friends of Sloan Canyon. Activities are on indefinite hold until the federal government opens again.

Does plant medicine play a role in combating STRESS?

Types Of Adaptogens

While the list of adaptogens is long, some of the more common options are listed below.

By Weekly staff

tress causes physical, emotional and mental responses within the body that can have far-reaching effects for many. While mild or occasional stress is perfectly normal and even healthy, chronic stress can lead to a litany of health problems. According to the American Institute of Stress, stress has been linked to depression, anxiety, heart attacks, stroke, hypertension and immune system disturbances, and can cause and exacerbate health conditions. Because of the associated risks, it’s important for everyone to find ways to properly manage life’s challenges. The basics of stress management are simple: sleep, exercise and eat a balanced diet. But in a fast-paced world where stressors are abundant, an increasing number of people are turning to plant medicine as well. Enter: adaptogens.

What Are They? The buzzword “adaptogen” generally refers to herbal and plant-based remedies intended to help combat the effects of stress and allow your body to better “adapt” to them. The term was coined by a Russian scientist in the mid-20th century, but many of the remedies used today have medicinal roots stretching back thousands of years, particularly common in Chinese herbalism and Indian Ayurvedic medicine.

n Ashwagandha One of the most well-researched and long-used adaptogens in the world, ashwagandha is an herb from the evergreen shrub, Withania somnifera, and is native to Africa, Asia and Southern Europe. It can be used in myriad ways and may help decrease anxiety, lower blood sugar levels, increase fertility in men, reduce inflammation and more.

How do they work? Stressful situations prompt a biological response that is designed to keep us safe. For instance, if you’re hunting in the jungle and see a tiger ready to pounce, the ability to feel stress is invaluable—you want to have a “fight-or-flight” stress response if confronted with an apex predator. Physiologically, your brain is flooded with adrenaline, cortisol and other hormones to help you navigate the circumstance. While today’s human is more likely to face stressors in the form of office deadlines and rush-hour traffic, the basic stress response is the same. Your adrenal glands, part of the endocrine system, are the main regulator of the “fight-or-flight” response, as they release adrenaline, cortisol and more. Oftentimes, the adrenal system is overworked as it compensates for chronic stress. Most adaptogens are thought to balance and promote healthy adrenal function in order to limit the negative effects of stress, as well as support the endocrine system as a whole. Though many commonly used adaptogens have long been recognized in Eastern medicine, there’s a limited amount of clinical research available on their efficacy. If you’re considering introducing adaptogens or other types of plant-based medicine into your lifestyle, be sure to consult with your primary care physician first, and do your own independent research.

n Astragalus Also known as Huang Qi or milkvetch, the root of a legume plant has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries and is found in soups, teas, extracts or capsules. Astragalus may help strengthen the immune system, support liver function and may even help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.

n Schisandra Native to China and Russia, the schisandra berry contains multiple kinds of “schisandrins”—bioactive chemical compounds that may benefit many different health conditions. As a complete supplement, schisandra is said to help with exercise performance, endurance, depression and liver support. A 2017 Chinese study reported that Schisandrin B, found in schisandra berries, may help patients with Alzheimer’s disease as well.

n Holy Basil: Native to India, the plant’s leaves, stems and seeds have been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years. When applied topically in a cream, holy basil is said to help with eczema. It may also help with enhancing metabolism, lowering blood-sugar levels, easing joint pain and more.

From bath salts, to facemasks and lotions, adaptogens are now being introduced into skin care products. The thought process goes that if adaptogens help the body cope with stress when consumed, perhaps they can help soothe stressedout skin.

n Rhodiola Rosea Nicknamed the Arctic or golden root, Rhodiola rosea is an herb that grows in high altitudes in Asia and Europe. The root has been used in traditional medicine in Russian, Scandinavian and other European cultures for centuries. It’s often used to help fight fatigue, depression and anxiety, as well as improve attention span and increase productivity.

n Chaga Mushroom A fungal parasite found on birch and other trees, Chaga has been used in Russia and European countries as a folkmedicine remedy, most often grated into a fine powder and brewed into a beverage similar to tea or coffee. Chaga may reduce bloodsugar levels, increase physical endurance, relieve irritable bowel syndrome and more.

n Ginseng Ginseng is a root that has been a staple in Chinese herbalism for thousands of years, and is said to treat many different ailments. It can be consumed in pill, powder or a topical cream, and may increase energy, lower cholesterol, improve cognitive function and increase sexual arousal in men.

Ways to consume or use adaptogens Infusion: When parts of a plant are steeped in hot water for a short period of time and consumed. Decoction: Similar to infusion, parts of the plant are steeped. However, in this process, they are reduced into a more concentrated form.

n Licorice Root While there are variations of licorice root, the one used more often as an adaptogen is found in Europe and Asia. The root can be used as an extract, tea, powder and more. In addition to being an adaptogen, licorice root may help soothe a sore throat, PMS and menopause symptoms and strengthen immunity.

n Maca Root A plant native to Peru’s Andes Mountains high plateaus, maca has been cultivated for thousands of years for its medicinal properties. Maca root may relieve menopause symptoms, balance hormone levels and increase energy.

n Cordyceps A parasitic fungus, cordyceps grow in the wild on caterpillars in China and Tibet, but many are cultivated in labs today. This adaptogenic mushroom has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, often to help cure respiratory dysfunction, support healthy energy levels and increase immune function.

Syrup: Plant parts are added to sugar or honey water, to create a syrup—think lavender or rose syrup in gourmet lattes. Powder: Ground, dried plants. Many adaptogens are found in powder form.

ou could call Dave Keuning the first Killer. After chasing his rock ’n’ roll dreams from Iowa to Las Vegas in 2000, the guitarist hooked up with singer Brandon Flowers through classified ads Keuning ran in Las Vegas Weekly, birthing the state’s most successful band ever. From 2003 through 2014, he toured and recorded almost continuously with The Killers (which by that point also included bassist Mark Stoermer and drummer Ronnie Vannucci), and in 2015, began work on the group’s fifth studio album. And then, Keuning says, he needed a break. His trips from his home in San Diego to Las Vegas to work on the record became less frequent, and in 2017, when his bandmates began touring behind that LP, Wonderful Wonderful, Keuning wasn’t with them. Flash forward two years, and Keuning has returned to the stage … just not with The Killers. This week, when he kicks off an 11-date tour (which includes a February 15 show at the Bunkhouse), he’ll do so with a new project—simply called Keuning—along with a new batch of tunes, from January 25 solo debut Prismism, on which he sings lead vocals for the first time ever. The Weekly connected with Keuning for an hour-long phone interview to discuss his new music, his old band and much more.

n The press release says the album was “taken from hundreds of voice memos that [you] stockpiled while on tour with The Killers over the last decade.” Describe that process. I had three

n You told Rolling Stone last year, “I was always happy just being the guitar player.” What changed? I had songs and [felt

like] it would be great if they were completed with vocals. Eventually it dawned on me that the only way they were gonna get finished is if I sang on them. This just seemed like a move I had to make for the rest of my life, so that I wouldn’t always be reliant on a singer. I could just do it myself. n As the other three Killers were releasing their solo albums, were you ever tempted to do so, too? The Killers kept me

busy enough, and when I wasn’t on tour I had a busy home life. I have a son, and I didn’t want to go straight from the road to work on a solo project in the studio. So the ideas that I came up with I tried to share with the band and hoped they would get used there. n You had only one songwriting credit on Wonderful Wonderful. Did you put forth other musical ideas that weren’t incorporated? I put forth ideas

in the beginning ... I brought a handful of ideas, and after four or five months we had a board with 40 or 50 ideas—mine and other people’s. And most of those songs did not make it to Wonderful Wonderful. That part maybe is frustrating, because I felt like I didn’t have as much say in deciding what made the cut. I don’t want it to sound like I did this because they didn’t use my ideas. There were a lot of ideas by other people I wanted to be on there, too.

achieved my biggest goal, and that is to do this at all. I think my life would have felt incomplete if I didn’t make an album with songs that I want to put out. … As far as long-term goals, I don’t really know what to expect, but I am definitely going to keep making music. I hope I make music with The Killers, but now that I’ve made the decision to sing, it allows me to always do this on the side, because I’ll always have a computer and a microphone at home and song ideas I can finish. n You’ve done backing vocals with The Killers, but this is the first time you’ve sung lead, right?

n How involved had you been in writing lyrics prior to this project?

I hadn’t. Basically, Brandon writes all the [Killers] lyrics, so that was a challenge for me. I found it easier when I would play the music and then try and put words over it. I have a harder time with no music playing and just a piece of paper, trying to write poetry. n How cognizant were you that you’d be letting people in on Dave Keuning, the person, through your lyrics? Well, if that’s the case, maybe

n How do you feel about the final makeup of Prismism? I originally

couldn’t make up my mind: Am I gonna do guitar-rock record? Or a synth-y keyboard record? And I have a ton of acoustic stuff. It ended up being a little bit of everything, and I’m happy with the variety.

n Do you have any goals for how it might do? I have already

old iPhones, and I loaded all the voice memos from all of them onto my computer. I’d sit there and go through them and put the heart over the ones that were decent, to get back to later. It was a time-consuming process, but it was kind of fun. There were a lot of memories that came back. Sometimes there’d be a TV in the background, on CNN or whatever, and there’d be something going on with Obama. Or sometimes I’d be watching sports. Or sometimes I could hear other languages, like when I was in Dubai. It was interesting.

it was overdue, because it seems like a lot of people didn’t know me. I hear things—gossip or people online saying things about me—that aren’t true. So maybe it’s a good thing to shed a little light on my life. When it came time to write the lyrics, whatever ended up there just kind of came pouring out of me naturally. People will analyze it … just know that some of it is about me, and some of it is fiction. And some of it just rhymed with the previous line.

lv w c ov e r s t o r y

For more of our interview with Keuning, visit lasvegas weekly.com.

I was in a band in high school; I wasn’t the singer, but one day he was like, “You should sing this one.” I was really, really nervous. It was at some small place in Iowa, and I got heckled. And I honestly think that set me back quite a ways ... I never sang for the next 20 years. I was very nervous for the first couple of [Keuning] shows. This isn’t the studio where I can get another take. I had to think about the physical side of singing—like breathing and making sure my voice wasn’t torn up for the next show. The first song, I remember being nervous and just tuning everyone out and trying to stay in pitch. And when that went OK, I started to loosen up a little bit. n Am I right in guessing you won’t be playing Killers songs at these Keuning shows? I won’t

be playing any Killers songs is the message I want to send. … I don’t feel right about it at the present moment. n What’s your relationship like with Las Vegas these days? I still

have a place there, an apartment, and I still love it there. I have a lot of great memories of when I first moved there and had all these wild hopes and dreams. … That was my life-altering decision, to move to Las Vegas.

n At this point, do you still consider yourself an active member of The Killers? I am

technically a member of the band, and anything is possible in the future. The only thing I do know is I won’t be on the next tour. … I don’t know much about the next album. I’ve been sending in ideas. It’s hard to say when it will be done. I could be a big part or just a little part or no part. n In your mind’s eye what would be the ideal Killers arrangement for you? Writing, recording and occasional touring? Or just writing and recording? Or maybe at some point the full touring thing again? All of those are possibili-

ties. I just know what I’m capable of doing, and I’m not capable of doing a two-year tour, or even a year-long tour, probably. I guess what I hope happens is that we can all get together one day and just put all the bullsh*t aside and say, let’s just make music like the old days, and hope that something good comes from it. But before fans jump out and say, “Do it now,” we’ve all got different lives, we’re living in different towns, we’ve got different priorities. I hope something like that could be done. At least in my mind I would try my best, and then whatever didn’t get used at least I could save for my own thing.

Five Vegas bands to watch in 2019

DRAUGR

WAVE MMLZ

n This black metal quintet could hardly have picked a more metal name for itself when it formed in the summer of 2017. Based on Norse lore, Draugr were dead warriors whose spirits were “so twisted”—in guitarist Nox Aragon’s words—they refused to leave Earth. Basically, they’re really f*cked up zombies. It’s the “epitome of brutality,” Aragon says. Draugr might intimidate those unfamiliar with its gurgling vocals, classic “corpse” face paint and haunted carnival-infested dirges—check out its self-titled EP released in December—but the group has garnered attention from nonmetalheads and other unlikely fans. And despite the morbid imagery, the band members are the opposite of brutal—they’re all quite pleasant. Draugr hopes to tour and release its first full length by the end of 2019. draugrlv.bandcamp. com. –Leslie Ventura

n At 23, Russell Schoenbeck already knows what he wants from life: “love and creativity.” The North Las Vegas producer and rapper’s adopted alias is a constant reminder of that. The latter half of his moniker, Wave MMLZ, is an acronym for “Make Music Live Zen.” The affirmation is printed on his hoodie, painted on a canvas in his studio and repeated in his brooding bangers—of which he’s got plenty locked and loaded for 2019. His upcoming four-track EP, The Upward Spiral, encompasses a lot in its brevity and channels the imagery of a revolving staircase. “You see things ahead of you, behind you, from every angle,” he says. What’s ahead might be a bigger, more experimental sound. He recently posted a snippet of a dreamy, indie-inspired demo on Twitter, hinting that he’s only taken step one toward his astronomical potential. soundcloud.com/mmlz –Zoneil Maharaj

LAABRADOOR

WORLD TENSION

THE RED SEDUCTION

■ When Austin Shaddix’s dreamy synth-pop demos sprung up under the name Laabradoor last March, Las Vegas had an unknown indie star in the making. Part Neon Indian, part Washed Out, Shaddix, 22, assembled a band to take the hypnotic bedroommade tracks to the next level, finally debuting last fall inside Starboard Tack. Laabradoor didn’t disappoint. To Shaddix’s surprise, the group quickly landed a gig opening for Vegas idols Dark Black and Ted Rader & The Magic Family in December. For 2019, Shaddix says the main goal is to track a record (reel-to-reel analog, of course), tour and weird out a little. “That was the whole goal with this project,” Shaddix says. “To get free with it.” laabradoor.bandcamp.com. –LV

■ Whether or not you’re into hardcore, it’s virtually impossible to listen to Fidel Romero scream his heart out on World Tension’s self-titled September EP and not be moved. “You speak your hate and violate/ Human rights from miles away,” Romero bellows on “Hate Thy Neighbor,” his anger and frustration balanced by vulnerability. Romero’s lyrics encapsulate the fear of being an immigrant in Trump’s America, the hope for a better world and the stress from not knowing if and when we will ever see it. “I wanted to write about stuff that was going on right now, all over the world and inside the White House,” Romero says. “Coming from an immigrant family, as a person of color, this was a perfect way for me to talk about what I’m actually feeling. No matter how cool everything may seem, it’s still stuff I think about constantly.” World Tension plays Eagle Aerie Hall on January 27 and plans to put out a second EP in March. worldtension.bandcamp.com. -LV

■ There’s a lot going on between the four musicians that comprise this four-year-old, North Las Vegas-based outfit. Each tune seems to aim for a balance of blues-based American classic rock and U.K. psychedelic pop (see the Beatles-esque reverie of “The First Man on the Moon”), with tracks like “Salma” and “Lunatica” putting a discernibly Latin spin on the band’s late-’60s cosmic-garage foundation and mixing things up even further. The band just released its second LP, Demos Vol. 2, its rhythmic prowess all but daring you not to dance along or look up the band’s next gig. theredseduction.bandcamp.com. –Mike Prevatt

WITH CODE RED RIOT, CORKY GAINSFORD TAKES THE NEXT STEP IN A LONG CAREER “Ten years ago I put together a list of bands that I’d been in, and I was over 25 or 30 bands,” Code Red Riot’s Corky Gainsford says. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, he rattles off another eye-opening accomplishment: “I had played music 23 years before signing my first record deal.” Gainsford’s career is like a tour through the history of the Vegas music scene. For starters, he moved to town from San Francisco in 2001 to work as a drummer for Blue Man Group. His band Red Means Go regularly shared gigs with The Killers in their earliest days. He played drums in pop-punk band The Utmost alongside future Five Finger Death Punch bassist Chris Kael. And from 2011-2015, he was the drum-

mer for hard rock band Otherwise, whose radio hit “Soldiers” was written and demoed in Gainsford’s garage. After leaving Otherwise, Gainsford went back to that garage and started working on songs of his own, sending them out to industry contacts for feedback. That led to a deal with Sony’s Red Music label, and Gainsford unexpectedly found himself as the frontman of a nationally touring hard rock group. “In very short order, what I thought was a bit of a vanity project became a band, and became me getting members and putting this thing together, and that became Code Red Riot,” he explains. CRR’s debut album, Mask—on which Gainsford sang and played every instru-

ment aside from a few guitar leads—was released in June 2018, and the band recently wrapped a tour opening for Smile Empty Soul. For Gainsford, who’s spent most of his musical career behind a drum kit, singing his own songs onstage every night has been a transformative experience. “I feel like it has to be me up front, exposing myself that way, or it’s not going to mean the same thing translated to the audience,” he says. Gainsford is busy writing new material and planning for CRR’s next step, but he’s also playing drums around town in various shows (including Blue Man Group) and with various other performers, just happy to be a working musician. Throughout his career, that’s what he’s done best.

Fact: The winter months are dark and rainy and thin on outdoor entertainment, and it’ll be, like, 11 weeks before Game of Thrones starts up again. Therefore, you might as well fill the time, and yourself, with locally brewed craft beer—and luckily for you, this week offers three sterling opportunities to do so. Let’s begin on January 26 at Big Dog’s Draft House, where Winterfest commences at 3 p.m. More than 50 craft beers—a mix of regional, national and Big Dog’s own brews— will be available for sampling, with hearty stews, live music and raffles available on the side. Admission is free, but beers and food are pay-as-you-go; see bigdogsbrews.com/ festivals/winterfest for details. That same evening, Fremont Street’s Banger Brewing celebrates its fifth anniversary with $4 house beer specials. It will also offer special anniversary-edition bottles, so you can relive this evening well into spring. Lastly, Slater’s 50/50 hosts a Beer Flight Night on January 29 at 6:30 p.m. $20 gets you a sampling of five beers from local brewers, including Lovelady, Hop Nuts and CraftHaus. Call 702-766-5050 for more information. –Geoff Carter

c u lt u r e w e e k ly N I G H T S

When open format DJ Maria Romano hits the booth, nothing can distract her By Leslie Ventura

ike a lot of local DJs, Maria Romano started her career playing at birthday parties for her friends. The unusual part? She was 11 years old. When she was 18, the Pennsylvania native worked her way up to DJing at high school dances and graduation parties before finally getting her own turntables. Romano quickly took off in Pittsburgh’s hip-hop scene, but there weren’t a lot of clubs around for her to perform, she says. So she set her sights on Vegas. “The level here is so much bigger than it is back home,” Romano says. “Everybody is on vacation and ready to have a good time.” Romano, now 25, is just the person to make that happen. Her favorite artists are Drake, Cardi B, Post Malone and G-Eazy—so you’ll hear them frequently when she’s on the decks at Drai’s. But as an open format DJ, Romano is accustomed to playing a little bit of everything. “Drai’s started the whole trend in Las Vegas with bringing the hip-hop artist back onto the Strip and paying them good money to perform,” she says. “It’s good for me, because hip-hop is my base, and it’s probably the No. 1-played genre right now.” When Romano isn’t at Drai’s, she also opens at Omnia’s Latin night, Deseo, and spins at MGM Grand’s Hakkasan. But hip-hop is still where her heart is.

“[Drai’s] is built open, so the vibe goes very far. When you play there and it’s a packed house you really can feel the energy, because there’s nothing blocking it. It’s just me and the crowd.” Romano says she’s now focused on moving up the DJ ladder here and in other markets. “I want to be able to move around and not always stay put,” she says. When she isn’t DJing, Romano tries to keep a relatively normal life by going to the gym, hiking with her dog and going to new restaurants—relaxing and taking in the calmer things Vegas has to offer so she can save her energy for the evenings. “My life is pretty much based around nightclubs. I don’t like to miss out on anything.” And when she’s in the booth, nothing can distract her. “I grew up an athlete, and when I’m at Drai’s, it’s game time.”

VEGANS, BABY POINTS TO THE BEST ANIMAL-FREE CUISINE IN TOWN

The recently released second edition of guidebook Vegans, Baby: The Las Vegas Vegan Food Guide 2019 is bigger than before, thanks to a robust new culinary landscape. “The [vegan] scene has exploded and it’s so amazing to document all of the amazing options,” says Vegans, Baby founder and occasional Las Vegas Weekly contributor Diana Edelman. “The biggest challenge was choosing which restaurants to include, because there are so many vegan and veganfriendly restaurants.” Edelman breaks down the more than 100 suggestions into 40 categories, which range from the expected (“Best Late Night” and “Best Community Restaurant”) to the surprising (“Best Egyptian” and “Best Steakhouse”). While Edelman says that all 40 of the book’s “top picks” are her favorites, she particularly loves the koshari at POTs, the brunch at Tacotarian and Good Pie’s Detroit pizza. “It’s the best pizza I’ve ever had— vegan or not.” If you’re new to veganism or considering a few vegan meals, Edelman advises: “Do what works for you, and know that every meal you choose to not consume animals … makes a difference.” And if you’re afraid of missing favorite foods, Edelman says vegan cuisine has come a long way. “So many restaurants are vegan-friendly in Vegas, so eating out doesn’t have to be intimidating, either.” The guidebook is available on Amazon, Nook, iTunes and elsewhere, $7 for digital and $20 for paperback. –C.

OMD plays House of Blues on January 24. (Courtesy)

TWO SIDES OF OMD THE PIONEERING SYNTH-POP DUO BALANCES ITS EXPERIMENTAL ROOTS WITH ITS CHART-CLIMBING PEAK BY ANNIE ZALESKI ast weekend, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark was in Arizona to celebrate the opening of a MOCA Tucson exhibit, Dazzled: OMD, Memphis Design, and Beyond, that features (among other things) a multimedia aspect based on the artwork and music of the group’s 1983 LP, Dazzle Ships. The cutting-edge installation is just the latest intriguing step forward for the Liverpool-based synth-pop icons, who spent much of fall 2018 looking back and celebrating their 40th anniversary, with a career-spanning concert collaboration with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and a luxurious book on the history of the band, Pretending to See the Future. “It’s been quite remarkable to reflect on the journey,” says vocalist/songwriter Andy McCluskey, who co-founded OMD in 1978 with childhood friend Paul Humphreys. McCluskey is calling from LA, where he’s staying at the house of OMD’s ex-manager, who currently manages Katy Perry. (There’s been no sightings of the pop star, although he admits with a hearty laugh, “I’ve been listening to her new single, which nobody else has heard.”) “We never aspired to be a successful pop group. It wasn’t a dream. Paul and I aspired to make crazy,

Haddish was placed in foster care at age 13, was sexually assaulted by a family friend, slept in her car and suffered domestic abuse as an adult. After a social worker offered Haddish the choice between psychiatric therapy and comedy camp, getting interrupted and critiqued onstage by Richard Pryor proved decidedly manageable in comparison.

FIVE TIMES COMEDIAN TIFFANY HADDISH HAS LIFTED HER PROJECTS TO NEW HEIGHTS BY JULIE SEABAUGH

NBC sitcom The Carmichael Show might have lasted only three seasons, but Haddish made the breakout role of Nekeisha Williams more than memorable. Whether tackling topics including gentrification, religion, abortion, Black Lives Matter, transgender issues and Bill Cosby, her estranged wife of title star Jerrod Carmichael’s brother Bobby (Lil Rel Howery) could single-handedly turn pivotal moments from painfully uncomfortable to endearingly hilarious.

While subsequent parts in KeeganMichael Key and Jordan Peele’s Keanu, Peele and John Carcieri’s The Last O.G. and Kevin Hart’s Night School heightened Haddish’s profile, it was recordbreaking feature film Girls Trip that put her squarely on the mainstream map practically overnight. Queen Latifah, Regina Hall, Jada Pinkett Smith might have been the ensemble comedy’s marquee stars, but Haddish’s over-thetop demonstration on how to increase sexual pleasure via grapefruit stole the show. As an added bonus, Haddish’s promo-circuit stories of taking a Groupon swamp tour with Smith landed her a spokesperson gig with the discount-activity service.

Debut stand-up special She Ready: From the Hood to Hollywood featured biographical storytelling that started grim, yet never failed to end optimistically. After tracking her three major psychotic breaks, Haddish maintained steadfast belief in the power of positive reinvention: “This is why people come from all over the world to be in this country, because only in America can you be whatever the fuck you want to be… I hope you can find the beauty in every single moment. I hope you become so f*cking happy, your happiness becomes contagious. I hope you sneeze joy! I hope you sh*t success!”!”

C U LT U R E W E E K LY

As the first black female comic to host Saturday Night Live in the show’s 43-year history, Haddish’s November 11, 2017 opening monologue addressed both social services—“I grew up in foster care, so I want to thank anyone who paid taxes between 1990 and 1999,”—and the #MeToo Movement: “If you got your thing-thing out and she got all her clothes on, you’re wrong.” (On the topic of clothing, she continued bucking Hollywood tradition and refused to apologize for wearing her favorite white Alexander McQueen dress multiple times.) The following September Haddish turned the historic appearance into her first Emmy award, winning Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.

The Strip

Mindfreak (Jerry Metellus/Courtesy)

Super Freak Criss Angel’s new show eclipses the scope of his previous production By Brock Radke he grand opening performance of a show on the Strip is typically saturated in nervous anticipation, heightening excitement for everyone in the showroom on both sides of the stage. That was true for Criss Angel’s big night at Planet Hollywood on January 19, but there was another feeling permeating the mezzanine-level theater: a feeling of victory. In front of an only-in-Vegas, Saturday-night crowd of celebrities including Wayne Newton, Flavor Flav, Gary Oldman and Lance Burton, Angel rolled out all the spectacular illusions that made the previous version of Mindfreak a runaway hit during the last three years of a decade-long run at Luxor. They were amped up by advanced audio and video technologies that haven’t been used before in a Las Vegas show. When the cyberpunk soundtrack kicks in to start the show, you can feel the bass in your chest. When a new scene unfolds onstage, the visual setting stretches to the back of the room, thanks to LED strips on the ceiling and 4K projection on the walls.

The stage is smaller than the one at Luxor, but Don’t expect Angel to rest on his laurels. When every aspect of the show is bigger here.

Politics and pratfalls Cockroach Theatre’s Accidental Death of an Anarchist heads to the farce side By C. Moon ReeD hen Downtown’s Cockroach Theatre asked director Allegra Libonati to name her dream project, she had an immediate answer: “Right now, the only thing to direct is [late Italian playwright] Dario Fo. He uses humor, satire and clowning for a real humanitarian take on events. He’s a hero.” Libonati chose the Nobel Prize-winning playwright’s piece Accidental Death of an Anarchist. “This play is powerful,” Libonati says. “It’s a perfect artist response to corruption.” Libonati first directed Accidental Death a little over a decade ago. She wanted to speak to the “humanitarian atrocities and cover-ups” of the Iraq war and the Bush administration. Today, she’s equally moved to resist the Trump administration and the current political climate. “It’s very inspiring to feel like there’s a play that could contain how we’re feeling—both then and now.” The play is inspired by a true event: In 1969 Milan, an anarchist group member fell from a police

ART

Gig Depio poses by “Not So Koi” during a 2016 show at Sahara West Library. (Steve Marcus/Staff)

Art to travel for Gig Depio’s giant, desert-inspired paintings must be experienced in person By Leslie Ventura ig Depio never wanted to be an artist. And yet, he’s been one nearly his entire life. His giant paintings—layers of rusted orange and dusty desert hues—explore the American West through some of history’s iconic characters and events. Growing up in the Philippines, Depio was always surrounded by art; his father is a portrait artist and professor of fine arts, and his mother is a gallery owner. Tired of living in his father’s shadow as his assistant, Depio went to business school in Manila before moving to the U.S. in 2002. “I like to paint about the past, because it’s the only way you can understand how we got here, in the now,” Depio says. He recently painted a giant, 11-by-40-foot mural for the Moapa Valley Community Center and showed his work in an exhibition, Gig Depio: Americana With Cadmium Orange, at the Capital City Arts Initiative (CCAI) and the CCAI Court-

house Gallery in Carson City. His mural “Through the Muddy” is on display in Moapa; it’s informed by the book Muddy Valley Reflections: 145 Years of Settlement by Virginia “Beezy” Lani Tobiasson and Georgia May Bagshaw Hall. That Depio piece works as a Nevada time capsule, traveling to the time of industrialization and the type of “creative destruction” that naturally occurs when trying to make life more hospitable. “You destroy the old things that might also be good for us,” Depio says. Given the size and scope of his work, Depio’s paintings are purposefully created to be experienced in person. That, Depio says, is a reaction to our current internet culture, and the way we’ve grown accustom to experiencing art from behind a screen. “No matter what you do, if you want to feel the painting, you’ve got to show up,” Depio says. In this case, that means taking a mini-roadtrip to some of

Nevada’s historic towns, where his latest artworks live. While he’s becoming an established artist here and throughout the world—he just had a show in Manila and is working on a show in the U.K.— life as a painter wasn’t always easy. “I just kept getting rejected,” he says. For years, he volunteered in various spaces in the art community before finally getting his own exhibition. “I told everyone I was an artist for so many years, and no one believed me, so when I got [my first] show, I filled up that whole space.” And while his work focuses primarily on American history—a fascination he says he had as a boy—his perspective as an immigrant is important to understanding his catalog. “I don’t want to paint about Filipino things, because that’s what people expect from me,” he says. “I like talking about history to paint a picture of what or why or how our culture came to be—most pieces are about converging cultures in a constant dialogue.”

Henderson

The Raiders include fans and alumni in their plans as they break ground on their new practice facility By Case Keefer | weekly staff FL teams are notoriously secretive, and the Raiders haven’t typically done much to refute the reputation. That could be changing when the team moves to Las Vegas, starting with the 2020 season. The Raiders recently broke ground on their 323,000-square-foot Henderson headquarters and practice facility off St. Rose Parkway on Executive Airport Drive, and some of the construction plans were made with fans in mind. Although Raiders President Marc Badain said the team was still figuring out how often the facility would be open to the public, it will have the capacity for more than just players and employees when it’s completed next spring. “We’ve built the indoor practice facility wide enough that we can bring fans in to watch practice,” Badain said at the groundbreaking event. “The three outdoor fields will have a perimeter where we can bring some stands in so people can come in and watch practice.” Training camp is when NFL fans are most commonly invited to practice, but the Raiders have been among the least accessible teams. In 2014, they were the only team in the league without a single open practice during their preseason sessions in Napa, California, according to a study of every NFL team’s access by Syracuse.com. Last year, in their first season with Jon Gruden back as coach, the Raiders held a “fan day” practice and also allowed season-ticket holders at a number of practices. The Raiders are unlikely to hold most of their

training camp in Las Vegas given the extreme July and August heat—team officials have reportedly visited potential sites in Reno—so it could be the final practices before the regular season that are made publicly available. Although there’s much to be determined for fans, Badain issued an open invitation to “Raiders’ alumni” as construction began on the facility, which has a price tag of $75 million for its first phase alone. “You’re always welcome wherever we are, and now we have a lot more room for you,” Badain said, addressing former Raiders. “You’re our family, and this is your new home.” Approximately 15 retired players attended the groundbreaking, including multiple-time Super Bowl champions Jim Plunkett and Cliff Branch. Badain’s welcome sounded particularly enticing to former linebacker Jerry Robinson, who played for the Raiders from 1985 to 1991 and briefly settled in Las Vegas in the 1990s after a 13-year NFL career. “I’m excited to come and enjoy this,” the 62-year-old Robinson said. “Even though I live in California right now, who knows, a brother might be moving back here.” Robinson recalled watching games at a number of local sports bars catering to different fan bases when he was a resident and noticing how starved the area was for football. He was always impressed by the passion for sports throughout the Valley. “I said to myself, ‘What a great sports city,’ ” Robinson recalled. “I liked that. It was too bad there weren’t any [major] professional sports here, but now you’ve got two of them, and there’s

probably going to be a couple more of them coming in.” The Raiders have supported the NHL’s Golden Knights; owner Mark Davis has been spotted multiple times in glass seats for big games at T-Mobile Arena, and the two teams have combined for a few community initiatives. Badain noted that the Raiders had “really done their homework” for their headquarters, which surely included noticing locals’ enthusiasm for being welcome at the Golden Knights’ facility. Hockey practices at City National Arena often draw overflow crowds, with the popularity having forced the Golden Knights to cap attendance during last year’s run in the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Raiders won’t offer daily fan accessibility like the Golden Knights, but they won’t be secluded either. Badain said he ultimately envisioned the Raiders’ headquarters looking like the Dallas Cowboys’ compound in Frisco, Texas, with shopping, dining and lodging in an entertainment district. Henderson city officials say an adjoining urban center has already been greenlighted for development. The Raiders want fans around. “It’s here where the organization will become ingrained in the local community,” Badain promised. “Where we’ll invest, where we’ll spend our time, our money, our resources. Where our employees will live and raise their families, go to school, start businesses and attract other business—a home for our players, coaches, staff, alumni, Raiderettes, fans, business partners and the entire Henderson community.”

ife has road bumps. They can be big, small, simple or serious, but they often interrupt routines and make daily tasks all the more challenging. A death in the family, illness, surgery or many other curveballs can be tough for those navigating them, and as a family member or friend, sometimes it’s hard to know what to do. For the times when it’s better to “just do” than say “let me know what you need,” (asking for help is not always easy), here are ways to lift up loved ones in need of a little support.

■ Gift cards for the basics: Sometimes gift cards for stuff you need can be a huge help. Think: gas, groceries, travel, Amazon or just a Visa or Mastercard gift card.

■ Kid snacks: If you’re helping a family, kid snacks can keep the wee ones happy, fed and occupied. Applesauce pouches, crackers, raisins, yogurt, animal crackers and fruit snacks are always a big hit. (Avoid peanut products just in case a family member has allergies you don’t know about.)

■ Meal schedules: In times of crisis, meal schedules can be helpful for all involved. Check websites such as Mealtrain.com, TakeThemaMeal.com or CareCalendar.org to set up a schedule that works for everyone. (It’s good to have one point-person working with the family on what times, days and meals are best.)

■ Help with breakfast and lunch, too: Dinners are probably the most common meal to offer, but others can be a big help. Consider bagels and cream cheese, donuts, fruit salad, chicken salad and rolls, or lunch meats and cheeses.

■ Call the restaurant: Don’t have time to deliver a meal or send a gift card? Many restaurants will let you start a tab for someone over the phone. You can give your credit card number to pay for what they order or just let your friend know you’ve prepaid a certain amount in advance.

Food

Everybody eats. Bringing food has long been a beloved tradition during a time of need and can be extremely helpful when someone is short on time or has extra guests in town. Here are a few food tips:

■ Consider the containers: Try to bring food in disposable containers so no one has to worry about returning them afterward.

■ Self-care: Is your friend or loved one having a hard time? Consider a gift certificate for a massage, pedicure, round of golf, the movies, tickets to a show, art museum or a favorite restaurant. And don’t forget the kids! Give the family a chance to have some fun with a gift card for ice cream, miniature golf or an arcade.

■ Babysitting or dog sitting: Pay for a few days at your friend’s doggie daycare or offer to watch their kids for an afternoon.

More traditional, but always thoughtful

■ Write: Hand-written notes and cards are always classy. ■ Your time: Call the person you love and talk or see if they’re up for cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Sometimes just offering up an ear can be a wonderful and much-needed gift. ■ Donations: Many families will ask for donations in lieu of flowers. Donate to their selected recipient or another nonprofit of your choice, and let your friend or family know about your gift.

Get creative

Food is helpful, but not if everyone is bringing/giving the same thing or if the recipient doesn’t have food storage space or mouths to feed. If that’s the case, consider these thoughtful ideas:

■ Memorial gifts: If the person you love has lost someone special, consider sending something that will spark a memory or create a pleasant experience. For example, wind chimes, a suncatcher, plants or a candle. If you think the person would appreciate it, send a tree through the Arbor Day Foundation that can be planted in honor of the loved one.

Mind your manners ■ Landscaping or cleaning services: Save your friend or loved one time by arranging for lawn care, snow removal or a house cleaner.

1 Watch the time: If you’re making a visit, keep it short. Crises can be exhausting. 2 Don’t make more work: Don’t bring a meal they have to make or give a gift that needs too much fuss. The last thing you want to do is add to their burden. 3 Be considerate: Try to give them something they will actually use. Don’t bring a gift certificate for downhill skiing to a friend who just had a knee replacement. ■ Don’t know what to say? Understandable. Some of these situations are hard. But usually it’s better to say or do something rather than nothing. The person you love will appreciate it. ■ “Call me if you need anything,” might sound sincere but usually it’s too vague to hold meaning. Be specific or just do. Chances are good your efforts will be appreciated. ■ It’s never too late. Do you fear you’ve missed your window? Probably not. Grieving takes time, and life-changing events have lingering effects. You can always send a card or reach out to let the person know you care.

Spring is around the corner

Let’s not forget about water conservation

W BY NICOLE SCHULTZ

SPECIAL TO THE WEEKLY

ater conservation in the Las Vegas Valley is imperative as the city continues to grow. The resources provided by the Colorado River are stretched thin, as the river is responsible for supplying the majority of the water to Southern Nevada, six other states—California, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado—and Mexico. Combine these existing allotments with drought conditions that have reduced the river’s average flows by 30 percent annually, and it’s clear that Las Vegas must be proactive in its conservation efforts. The Bureau of Reclamation anticipates that the Colorado River and Lake Mead will be in shortage conditions as early as next year, and as a result, allocations will be cut. Nevada is allocated 300,000 acre-feet of Colorado River water per year, but with the anticipated 2020 cutbacks, the amount could decrease to 270,000. Fortunately, the Southern Nevada Water Authority has had strategic initiatives in place since 2002 to keep up with the area’s rapidly growing population.

“As long as we keep conserving, we are wellnation’s leaders in recycling water from indoor use. Alpositioned to manage the shortage conditions going most 100 percent of the community’s indoor-use water forward,” said Bronson Mack of SNWA. “Since 2002, is reclaimed, treated and returned back to Lake Mead. Southern Nevada has reduced water consumption This recycled water doesn’t count toward Nevada’s anfrom Lake Mead by 26 percent, even though the nual Colorado River allocation. Water used outdoors is area’s population increased by more than 650,000 a different story, however. Washing cars, filling pools, people.” watering lawns or anything similar is what In 2017, Southern Nevada used only quickly depletes the supply; thus, con243,000 of its 300,000 acre-feet water servation efforts by the SNWA and other New Mexico is apportioned allotment. The remaining amount agencies, including the Las Vegas Valley 850,000 acre-feet gets stored for future use. To date, this Water District [LVVWD], focus on outdoor of the Colorado “banked water” supply has accumuwater usage. River every year, and Wyoming lated to 1.8 million acre-feet—about Landscape development codes, new receives 1 million eight years of water reserves, so while a watering restrictions and a tiered wateracre-feet. cushion is in place, conservation must ing payment system have helped Southern continue. Nevada cut back on excess water use. Some of these regulations include prohibiting Recycling and restrictions grass installation in the front yards of new bolster conservation efforts residential and commercial properties, limiting grass Suffering from drought conditions for years has installation to 50 percent or less of landscaped area in propelled Nevada to its current position as one of the backyards, and watering schedules.

Those who don’t adhere to their watering schedule are issued hefty fines, and delinquency may ultimately result in termination of service. Water waste fees vary depending on meter size, the account’s history of violations and the lake’s drought stage, but this past year alone, the water district issued more than $50,000 in fines. As a result of the tiered conservation pricing implemented by SNWA, residents who use more than their fair share of water are also subject to more expensive water bills. Though rates vary across SNWA’s member agencies, this tiered pricing structure ensures residents who use less water will pay a lower cost-per-gallon. For example, those in the district’s lowest pricing tier pay $1.23 per thousand gallons of water for the first 5,000 gallons used and $2.20 per thousand gallons for the next 5,000. Those in the highest pricing tier pay $4.86 per thousand gallons for use above 20,000 gallons. These prices can add up quickly for the Valley’s biggest water users, making them an effective deterrent to water waste.

Remove your grass and earn some cash

SNWA rebate programs have created a win-win situation for community members and conservation efforts. Not only do these programs save millions of gallons of water per year, they also save community members thousands of dollars. Since SNWA’s inception of the Water Smart Landscape program, which rewards residents with $3 per square foot of turf removed from their yards, 185 million square feet of grass has been removed from the community and replaced with more desert-friendly alternatives. The Pool Cover Rebate program reimburses residents for pool covers as a way to prevent evaporation and subsequent water waste during the summer months. Southern Nevada residents can also receive rebates for replacing their existing irrigation clocks with more efficient ones and for installing rain sensors that interrupt irrigation during and after significant rainfall. To date, 40,000 pool covers have been purchased through the program—saving more than 3.5 billion gallons of water—and 2,300 residents have received rebates for replacing their existing irrigation systems. To promote indoor water conservation, SNWA also offers rebates and incentives for products such as highefficiency washing machines, low-flow shower heads and other water-smart fixtures. Rules, regulations and rebates are helpful for the state’s water conservation efforts, but securing a watersmart future for Las Vegas lies largely in residents’ hands. By following time-of-day and day-of-week watering restrictions, installing water-efficient fixtures, replacing grass with drought-resistant landscaping and reporting water waste throughout the Valley, Las Vegas will continue to thrive. To learn about mandatory watering schedules and water waste fees, to find a list of desert-friendly plants, to report water waste or for any other information, visit the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s website at snwa.com or call the 24hour Conservation Helpline at 702-258-7283.

Watering restriction changes have led to a 15 percent reduction in seasonal water usage.

Commission releases data to highlight the state of minorities in Nevada 9% Asian

by Camalot TOdd

Median household income: $64,042

Weekly staff

nfant mortality rates are nearly double for African-Americans in Nevada compared with other ethnicities in the state. Onethird of Native American children are part of families that live below the federal poverty level. One-fifth of Hispanics in the state are without health insurance. A quarter of Pacific Islanders are homeowners, compared with 65 percent of whites. These are just some of the racial and ethnic disparities unfolding in the Silver State, according to findings by the Nevada Commission on Minority Affairs. The commission operates as a central advisory body and unveiled the information this month at the Nevada State Business Center. It hopes to use it to inform and educate the public and other stakeholders, as well as facilitate conversations in the community and educate resource partners to address disparities, whether that’s through public policy or nonprofit efforts. “The importance, I think, is bringing expertise and wisdom of different individuals in addressing gaps and needs of the minorities throughout the state,” said Marcel Schaerer, Deputy Director for Nevada’s Department of Business and Industry. “We can basically become this hub of minority data that matters to Nevada.” There are seven subcommittees that hyperfocus on areas where discrepancies in outcome exist for minorities. Those include education, health, housing, workforce development, economic development, legislative and political power and community liaison. They examine data spanning the past decade from multiple government agencies and research organizations. Here are some of their findings:

63% own homes

Asians are the fastest-growing minority population, increasing 116 percent between 2000 and 2010. Pacific Islanders grew by 99 percent. The Hispanic population grew by 82 percent, according to the commission.

10% Live below the federal poverty level

1% Pacific Islander Median household income: $56,978

1% Native American

25% own homes

Median household income: $41,609

12% Live below the federal poverty level

57% own homes 24% Live below the federal poverty level

28 percent of African-Americans owned homes in 2017, compared with 42 percent in 2006. This indicates that the region is facing an affordable housing crisis, according to the report.

Cybersecurity tips for small businesses

BY RICH BAICH SPECIAL TO VEGAS INC

rom digital payments to social media to mobile ordering, technology has radically transformed how small-business owners operate. At the same time, the speed of technology innovations has created an increasingly difficult challenge: how to protect a business from cyberthreats. Many initially think about large companies when discussing cybersecurity breaches, but small businesses are just as vulnerable to threats. In fact, a single business can spend more than $1 million recovering from damage or theft of IT assets. This can cripple a small business. The best defense is to be prepared, so here are some strategies you can take to make your business more resilient to cyber threats. Understand your unique needs for security Business owners must understand that having a one-size-fits-all approach to cybersecurity can leave substantial gaps, making their businesses vulnerable. The first step is to think about exposure: This includes the hardware and software you are using, as well as operations conducted via web or cloud-based systems. You should also consider what unique threats there are to a particular system. An important note: It isn’t enough to think about your own business. What about the third-party vendors you’ve hired? Any of their vulnerabilities will affect you, too. Prevent against the vulnerability of connected systems Connectivity of systems both internally and externally has been a major driver of technological progress, and the advent of things like cloud-based storage and mobile payment options have made doing business easier. But while interconnected systems may make things run more

efficiently, it also can increase the risk—a vulnerability in one system can affect the connected ones as well. Keeping critical systems such as payroll, business email and point-of-sale separate can decrease the inherent risks of connectivity and help ensure that one cyberthreat doesn’t compromise a business’s entire operation. Another solid strategy is to have a well-integrated backup system for both internal and customer information. Regularly backing up all files and having separate point-of-sale solutions can help you prevent a business from being potentially crippled in the event of an attack.

Handle employee access carefully Employees can also be a major threat to a company’s cybersecurity infrastructure. Ensuring proper training and clearly defining access to systems based on your employees’ roles helps to cut down the risk that they will introduce a cyberthreat, intentionally or not. Managing the access of employees also includes regularly updating any security credentials like usernames and passwords, and immediately removing an employee’s access following termination. These are elements that easily can be forgotten and yet can cause serious issues if left unchecked. Don’t forget mobile security The security of mobile devices like smartphones and tablets is also a key consideration in guarding against cyberthreats. Regularly updating passcodes, only downloading applications and files from trusted sources, and avoiding any suspicious links or texts are all important to protecting your business from the risks of mobile technology. In addition, using anti-virus software for mobile devices helps protect them in places with public networks like airports, convention centers and coffee shops. Cyberattacks can cost a business money, customers and hard-earned reputation, so protecting against them should be a priority. Addressing potential threats now can decrease your chances of facing cyber issues during a busy time of year. Rich Baich is chief information security officer at Wells Fargo.
