¶ In defense of men I am a boy mom, and I am fed up with people who are born with a penis being demonized by Republican political bullies and their billionaire benefactors. The Republicans are a political party controlled by a select few men and they are creating laws that focus on the private parts of children. It does not get any weirder than that. I cannot even imagine how a conversation like that gets started in a room full of politicians who are elected to keep the potholes filled and the lights on. Most men are not sitting around contemplating minor children’s private parts. Most men could care less if the new generation’s sexual revolution is less concerned with the function of their private parts and all about embracing the mental state of each gender, or no gender at all. Most men feel great empathy for the parents of those children with body dysphoria and are horrified by the behavior of politicians, who have no business castigating their parents for a medical condition that is out of everyone’s control. Most men see the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bills as more like pedophile protection acts, as they prevent children from learning about their bodies, about good touch/bad touch, and reopen the door for the massive sexual abuse of children. And how could they not? Men have been silently suffering the trauma of institutionalized sexual abuse and the shame of not being able to talk about it. Society talks openly when the victim has a vagina, but when they have a penis they do not. In 2019 the Catholic Church in America admitted that 7,002 of their employees were accused of sexually abusing minors. The Southern Baptist Church has more than 400 employees that were arrested, and 220 were convicted or took a plea to sexual assault of minors. And then there are 84,000 men that signed on to the Boy Scouts of America sexual predator lawsuit, and those are just the ones brave enough to come forward. It is the conditioning of men in this country that gives them two choices when it comes to their penis: toy, or weapon. The Love Generation created a multibillion-dollar porn industry for when men are supposed to use their penises as toys. And criminal codes that focus on the penis have been created when they are used as weapons. The penis is not a toy, and the penis is not a weapon. Men have been lied to. — Miss K.

Villages residents cop to voter fraud, DeSantis signs restrictive abortion bill, Sabatini pines for the Wild West, ‘woke math’ and other news you may have missed this week. »

Joel Greenberg’s wife appears in rap video that shouts out Matt Gaetz as ‘the chosen one’

Amid a legal challenge by Florida and other states, federal officials announced last week that travelers will continue to be required to wear masks through May 3 in airports and on planes, trains and buses. The requirement, aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19, had been scheduled to expire last Monday. But by midweek, the federal Transportation Security Administration pointed to increased COVID-19 cases, particularly involving what is known as the BA.2 subvariant of the coronavirus. “Since early April 2022, there have been increases in the 7-day moving average of COVID-19 cases in the United States,” the statement said. “During the 15-day extension period, CDC will assess the potential impact the recent rise of COVID-19 cases has on severe disease, including hospitalizations, deaths, and health care system capacity.”

Matt Gaetz has never been careful about the company he keeps. That was underlined in the music video for conservative rapper Forgiato Blow’s (sure, why not) new song “Matt Gaetz.” The CPAC-filmed video features several cameos from certified wingnut and Gaetz associate Anthony Sabatini as well as the estranged wife of Gaetz’s former running buddy: the currently incarcerated Joel Greenberg. In between shots of Matt Gaetz dancing and Forgiato Blow performing to a crowd that’s absolutely zonked off freshly harvested adrenochrome, Abby Greenberg makes a surprise cameo. Joel Greenberg has been cooperating with federal prosecutors in their ongoing probe into Gaetz for some time now.

Two retirees in the Villages confess to voting twice in 2020 elections Tell Trump! Tell the world! We’ve found some actual voting fraud! Two residents of Central Florida mega-retirement community the Villages — Charles Barnes, 64, and Jay Ketcik, 63 — have confessed to committing voter fraud by voting twice in the 2020 presidential elections. Their plea deals spared them each a sentence of up to five years in prison for the third-degree felony. Barnes and Ketcik are among four residents of the Villages in Sumter County who were accused of casting multiple ballots: in Florida and in their original home states. Court records show that Barnes innocently told investigators that he “wanted to see if he could vote twice” in Florida and his home state, Connecticut. Ketcik told investigators that his double instance of voting was accidental. He said a voteby-mail ballot was sent to Michigan, his home state, “by mistake.”

Sabatini wants Floridians to be able to carry handguns without a license Apparently pining for the good ol’ days of an imaginary Wild West, Central Florida-area State Rep. Anthony Sabatini wants backing from lawmakers to hold a special legislative session about a “constitutional carry” gun proposal. (My, we have a useless Legislature.) Sabatini, a Howey-in-the-Hills Republican who is running for Congress, made the request last week, mere days after Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a bill that will allow people in Georgia to carry concealed handguns without first getting licenses from the state. A session would be held if it is supported by three-fifths of the House and three-fifths of the Senate.

CDC extends mask requirements for traveling as state of Florida’s lawsuit grinds onward

Florida Senate Republicans quickly get on board with DeSantis’ redistricting map A congressional redistricting plan that Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office released last Wednesday landed lightspeed support from Republican leaders in both state houses. Democrats, meanwhile, said the once-a-decade redistricting process has gone “extreme partisan” and threatened legal challenges to the Republican-favorable proposed map. State lawmakers will return to Tallahassee next week for a special session after DeSantis vetoed a congressional map passed during this year’s regular session. District 5 in North Florida has spurred the most controversy, as it was drawn in the past to help elect a Black candidate. Senate President Wilton Simpson, R-Trilby, and House Speaker Chris Sprowls, R-Palm Harbor, announced Monday that DeSantis would propose a map for the special session. It is highly unusual for the governor to take the lead on proposing maps. “If this map is enacted, Florida will be sued,” tweeted Marc Elias, a Democratic Party elections lawyer. n

DeSantis signs bill banning abortions after 15 weeks Meanwhile, this asshole … Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill last Thursday that bans abortions after 15 weeks. The law — which includes no exemptions for cases of rape, incest or human trafficking — will go into effect in July. The few exceptions include instances in which an abortion is necessary to prevent serious injury to a mother or save the mother’s life. DeSantis signed the bill before a crowd Kissimmee’s Nación De Fe church in Kissimmee, telling supporters he was there to protect those who cannot defend themselves. Progress Florida and physicians with the Committee to Protect Health Care denounced DeSantis for signing the law, and lawsuits challenging the new law are, presumably, imminent.

Florida DOE rejects nearly three-quarters of elementary school math textbooks for being ‘woke’ The first wave of new textbooks to fall under a series of revised standards in Florida saw an astonishing amount of rejections. The Department of Education announced that it had tossed over 70 percent of proposed math textbooks for kindergarten through fifth grade for either teaching Common Core standards or including subjects that ran afoul of Republicans’ push against “Critical Race Theory.” While the textbooks were rejected for a multitude of reasons, 51 percent of the rejected books were thrown out for including topics that the state says are forbidden under recently passed anti-CRT laws. Only 22 percent of the rejected books were thrown out on grounds of running afoul of the state’s math standards. orlandoweekly.com ● APRIL 20-26, 2022 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

I can argue it’s as strong as some of our rec [recreational] states that have been selling and growing for some time.” The good news for discerning medical marijuana patients shipping container-like buildings hits your nose, and it’s clear what type of herbs they are raising here.

ong before theme park tourists were Central Florida’s cash crop, agriculture ruled our local economy, and although the citrus groves are mostly gone, a new harvest is proving increasingly lucrative in the Sunshine State. In Indiantown, about two hours southeast of Cinderella Castle, a facility sits quietly along a rural road miles from the nearest fast-food drive-through, neighbored only by cow pastures and dense thickets of palm. The easily overlooked dirt driveway sports no identifying signage, and as you pass through the nondescript security gates, there’s little indication that you aren’t entering any ordinary industrial farm.

Just a couple of buds hanging out PHOTOS BY SETH KUBERSKY

There’s more to medical marijuana than smokeable flower

Raising these plants can take from nine to 12 weeks, depending on the strain, and I got to peek in on every stage of their growth, from the early vegetative period to massive mouth-watering flowers glistening with THC-laden trichomes. But that’s only half the story, since the bulbous buds still need a lengthy process of drying for 10-12 days, curing (a key step for preserving aromatic terpenes that some producers skip) and hand-trimming. It can take up to a total of four months from start to finish before the finished product reaches dispensary shelves. I found it a bit overwhelming inside the humidity-controlled Conex containers where the “weed river” is processed, shelves groaning with giant green bags exuding the heady scents of “blueberry muffins,” “pankakez” and “grape cream cake.” But the atmosphere was just fine inside the trimming trailer, where a young Black woman named V. was leading a lively crew in snipping and sorting forearm-sized branches of buds, from fist-sized nugs down to the smallest shake, as hand-painted murals of anthropomorphized cannabis strains looked on. Of course, smokeable flower is just one method of cannabis consumption, and concentrates and edibles are commanding increasing consumer attention. Cresco has added to One Plant’s top-shelf live rosin extraction setup — which I watched transforming steel cauldrons of fresh-frozen weed and ice water into potent powdery “sand” — and has introduced Supply and Good News vaporization products (made with ethanol-extracted distillate and cannabis- or plantderived terpenes) for the mid-price and value markets. Distillate and cannabis terps also fuel Sunnyside’s new vegetarian gummies, which they can churn out in batches of up to 2,000 a day; the Indica Blue Raspberry variety is particularly pleasant. But what Rivera is really excited about are the possibilities unlocked by Florida’s recent legalization of butane hash oil extraction. “You’re going to see butane extraction really take the marketplace, because it’s the most cost-effective way to get a high-quality strain-specific with-terps product to consumers today, [so] you’re gonna see the market change dramatically in vape offerings as a result of butane,” says Rivera. “Solvents deliver a tastier product that is as efficacious as rosin at a more affordable price point, and I think [consumers] will move without a lot of hesitation or resistance.” If reading all this makes you interested in a cannabis career, a lack of experience — or past experience with the wrong side of the law — isn’t necessarily an impediment for joining the 130 employees at Cresco’s farm. Cresco vice president of operations Dave Critchfield, who led me on my tour, says, “We do ask for any type of experience that [prospective employees] have had, but we’re not asking them separate black market versus legal market. The majority of what we see are people that are cannabis enthusiasts, whether that’s been for one month, one year, 10 years, whatever it may be. We’re always looking for people to have drive; people that have an eye for responsibility, that will show up to work on time and be here when they’re needed to be here.” For someone who spent their formative years furtively buying baggies filled with dried pencil shavings of unknown provenance, a visit to Cresco Labs’ facility was like a trip to Willy Wonka’s candy factory. I’m only sorry they don’t have a gift shop, so the scent that lingered in my clothes will have to suffice as a souvenir. And if you aren’t one of the more than 560,000 Floridians who have medical marijuana cards, Rivera has a hopeful prediction: “If and when adult [recreational] use comes to the state, we will become the largest legalized market in the country. I have full belief that we could surpass California’s legalized sales, [so] the level of competition and variety and niche in the marketplace will be wide. As a result, I view the transition from medical to adult use as the next disrupter of the current marketplace structure.” news@orlandoweekly.com

Infinite Zion Farms in Parramore would like to apply for a license to grow medical marijuana PHOTO BY ERIC TEGETHOFF

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO ISSUE ONE BLACK FARMER A MARIJUANA GROW LICENSE IN FLORIDA? BY ERIC TEGETHOFF

his spring, the Florida Department of Health did something that had seemed like it might never happen: It opened up a five-day window for Black farmers to apply for a license to grow and sell medical marijuana. The move — required by law — was nearly five years late. For the Black farmers who qualified, the application process that opened on March 21 came with hurdles. They had to slog through 70 pages of instructions from the Office of Medical Marijuana Use. There was a nonrefundable application fee of $146,000 — upped significantly from the $60,830 fee for past applicants. And, per the 2017 law that implemented the medical marijuana amendment, they had to be farmers who had received a settlement in the Pigford v. Glickman case. Plaintiffs in that two-decades-old case alleged the United States Department of Agriculture discriminated against Black farmers when doling out loans and assistance between 1981 and 1996. The case was settled in 1999, resulting in the largest civil rights payout in U.S. history — more than $1 billion. Another round topping $1.2 billion went out in 2013 for those who missed the first payout. Still, it’s estimated there are only about 100 settlement recipients alive in Florida today, and most of them are long past retirement age. This requirement has dashed the hopes of younger Black farmers like Ray Warthen, who founded Infinite Zion Farms with his wife. Their South Street farm is a block of green vegetables in the Parramore neighborhood that provides fresh produce to the community. “It’s unfair to only have one [license] for the Pigford case and no other exceptions made for other Black farmers who are so far behind everyone else,” Warthen tells Orlando Weekly. “We’re five years behind all the other companies that already are producing medical marijuana.” Warthen has been outspoken about his desire to grow medical marijuana. He has a license to grow hemp — marijuana’s

federally approved, non-psychoactive cousin that is the basis for all those CBD products on shelves these days — at his South Street farm. But he’s also purchased a 10-acre citrus farm in Groveland, about 30 miles west of Orlando, where he hopes to one day grow marijuana. One of his ambitions is to discover a cannabis strain that’s tolerant of Florida’s heat, humidity and rain. “That’s my goal — to have my own strain one day.” Warthen said. “The Zion strain.” Warthen plans to wait for future rounds to apply for a license. But when the state might accept more applications is unclear. The medical plant’s history in Florida proves it’s been a struggle for most farmers to get their hands on one — least of all the state’s Black farmers. The final tally legalizing medical marijuana in 2016 showed undeniable evidence Floridians were ready for change, with 71 percent approving of it — the same year 49 percent cast their vote for Donald Trump. Amendment 2, the Florida Medical Marijuana Legalization Initiative, ensured people with qualifying medical conditions had legal access to the plant. State lawmakers, too, had been evolving on cannabis. Two years before Amendment 2 passed, they approved a low-THC medical program. There were highly specific qualifications to grow and sell under this program. Candidates were required to have 30 continuous years of experience in nurseries and the ability to grow at least 400,000 plants, raising suspicions that legislators had crafted the requirements with certain wellconnected growers in mind. The first nurseries approved under that program make up the backbone of some of the most profitable medical marijuana companies in the state, including Trulieve and Curaleaf. Lawmakers opened up qualifications for medical marijuana treatment centers when they implemented Amendment 2 in June 2017. They reduced requirements to five years of business within the state. And they also required that one of the licenses go to a Black farmer who had been part of the Pigford case.

It took them about three months to break that promise. The law stipulated the license must go out by Oct. 3, 2017. But the program was bogged down with legal challenges nearly from the start, including a ban on smoking the plant. (John Morgan, the self-described “pot daddy” himself, filed a lawsuit against this prohibition. Gov. Ron DeSantis removed the smoking ban in 2019.) From the very beginning, the Office of Medical Marijuana Use has slow-walked the licensing process. The last time the state approved new medical marijuana treatment centers was in 2019 — and that was because of a settlement with eight nurseries that were turned down during the first round of licensing for the low-THC program in 2015. Sanctuary Medicinals, which partners with Apopka-based Dewar Nurseries, is the only one of those companies to make a meaningful dent in the industry so far. A Florida Supreme Court decision from June 2021 appears to be changing this. The verdict upheld the requirement that license-holders are responsible for marijuana from seed to sale, underscoring that big bucks are needed to get into the industry. Known as vertical integration, the industry setup means businesses solely interested in the agriculture side, for instance, need to find partners to run the transport, processing and retail side. The Office of Medical Marijuana Use says it was waiting on the decision before it began issuing licenses again. In October 2021, it issued an emergency rule saying it would kick-start the application process for a Black farmer. Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, for one, was still unimpressed. The same month the emergency rule was announced, Fried appeared at Infinite Zion Farms alongside Warthen, describing the new application fee as discriminatory and calling for an investigation. “Of course,” Fried tells Orlando Weekly, “Gov. DeSantis’ Department of Health has not moved forward on any investigation, and has not even apologized or come up with any explanation for why there was a doubling of the fee right before the only minority-owned licensee application goes out.” Fried has financial ties to the medical marijuana industry and has long supported making it legal for adult recreational use. She’s also running for governor against DeSantis this year. One explanation Warthen and others have received for the higher fee is that it’s needed to cover the process of looking through applications. Fried doesn’t buy it. “They have already outsourced the review of these applications and have financial resources in order to pay for it,” she says. The Department of Health did not respond to a request for comment on the fee or the application process for Pigford class members. The $146,000 price tag for applications could stick as the state catches up on licenses. At the beginning of April, Florida surpassed 700,000 medical marijuana patients. Every time the state adds 100,000 patients, it also has to license another four medical marijuana treatment centers. Suffice it to say the Department of Health has some catching up to do. For Warthen, this is a matter of medicine. He became interested in medical marijuana when his father got ill, and has himself used CBD for anxiety and high blood pressure since he passed away. But like food deserts, Warthen says Black communities in Orlando are MMJ deserts. “It’s available for the haves, but not the have-nots,” Warthen said. “Not only Parramore — you have Holden Heights, you have Pine Hills, every single Black or urban neighborhood in the city, that’s not available. And these elderly people are ailing from the same issues that everyone else has but there are no resources there for them.” The Department of Health hasn’t yet announced who will receive the license reserved for a Black farmer. It’s possible the license will go to a Pigford class member outside of Florida. According to the application, if a business entity is applying, only that entity needs to prove it has been registered to do business in the state of Florida for the previous five years — not necessarily the qualifying farmer. At one time, it looked like at least a handful of Black farmers could get a golden opportunity to be part of a billion-dollar industry. Five years later, they could be shut out all over again.

Orlando Shakes presents a no-frills take on one of Shakespeare’s best-known historical plays

STRIPPED TO THE ESSENCE Orlando Shakes impresses with ‘Bare Bard’ take on ‘Henry IV, Part 2’ BY CAROLINE HULL

ven avid Shakespeare fans — up to and including those who missed the Shakes’ 2020 production of Henry IV, Part 1 — can find the Bard’s historical plays a daunting proposition. Have no fear, though. The Orlando Shakes has completely prepared for audience members with little to no familiarity with Shakespeare’s more historical pieces. No homework is required in advance of attending a performance of the “Bare Bard” version of Henry IV, Part 2. This production possesses the rare occurrence of an introduction that’s both informative and compelling beyond the usual “silence your cellular devices” and “familiarize yourself with the exits.” The preshow consists of two unique and surprising elements. First is an entertaining video summary of Henry IV, Part I, complete with adorable cartoon drawings created by Mya Lixian Gosling. It’s followed by a live curtain speech delivered by actor Timothy Williams, detailing the acting process undertaken by the company. These imaginative prefaces to the performance eliminate all superfluous worries of being lost in the historical weeds, and prime the audience. The beauty of this “Bare Bard” production is that it takes inspiration from numerous theatrical practices that persisted throughout Shakespeare’s lifetime. The production did not involve a director or designers, only the actors themselves. Putting on a successful show with-

out a separate technical production team is an impressive feat all on its own — and beyond that, the cast only had one week to rehearse their difficult material. To assist with the unexpected — missed cues or forgotten phrases — the actors had a dedicated line prompter (Adonis Perez) known as the “Prithee,” seated beside the stage in order to feed actors their lines at a moment’s notice. Even with this precaution and such limited rehearsal time, the performers were almost

always on the ball with both memorization and compelling vocal delivery (with one exception of an unplanned delayed entrance that left the cast members onstage looking slightly befuddled). A visually intriguing aspect of the production was allowing the cast to decide on their own clothing with a limited amount of time and resources. This led to even more sight gags — one of which was when Falstaff, the comedic

head of the piece, modeled a well-worn Santa Claus suit. We couldn’t stop giggling at it for the rest of the performance. Speaking of Falstaff, Orlando Shakes veteran Phillip Nolan absolutely dominates the stage with impeccable comedic timing and an understanding of the Shakespearean quips constantly spewed by the raffish character. His physicality is an added strength, complementing Falstaff’s insistence that he’s young at heart and therefore immune to the undesirable effects of aging. Another performance that caught our attention was Anne Hering’s portrayal of the loquacious and long-winded Mistress Quickly. Hering’s gift for making convoluted language and prose sound completely conversational will convince you that speaking clearly with such heightened language is easy. (It’s not.) Benjamin Bonenfant gives an insightful performance as Prince Hal, and he does a great job at demonstrating the complexities of a character learning to balance newfound maturity with his more boyish predispositions. As a whole, the entire ensemble of actors portraying multiple characters was both dynamic and innovative, giving each actor more to do in their already limited time. Orlando Shakes’ “Bare Bard” production of Henry IV, Part 2 demonstrates with creativity how one does not have to be well-versed in the entire oeuvre of William Shakespeare to find delight and appreciation for his artistry, even in his more historical pieces. We’re already anticipating the company’s upcoming performance of Henry V, the next piece in the “Fire and Reign” series. After you’ve witnessed the creativity that this committed ensemble of artists can pull together in only one week, you too will be eager for more. And there will be more, as the Shakes’ ambitious “Fire …” series still has several more plays — and misfortune-plagued monarchs — to bring to life. arts@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

DINE OUT TAKE OUT END HIV

BY SETH KUBERSKY

Roberta Emerson is breathing new life into the Garden Theatre’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ with the aid of a diverse and inclusive cast If prizes were awarded to the per-

son wearing the most hats in Orlando’s theater community, Roberta Emerson could credibly claim the crown. Just within the last 14 months, Emerson was appointed to the newly created role of Artistic Producing Consultant for the CFCArts Theatre Program; named Director of New Play Development with Orlando Shakes and a visiting lecturer in UCF’s School of Performing Arts; and directed the acclaimed production of A Raisin in the Sun at Garden Theatre, where she serves as Associate Artistic Director. But despite all those accolades, I’d never had the opportunity to interview Emerson before, until she recently shared with me how she’s breathing new life into the Garden Theatre’s Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (April 22-May 22) with the aid of a diverse and inclusive cast. When I spoke with Emerson, she was just ending a long day that included a teaching panel for teen ambassadors at the Dr. Phillips Center, one of many educational endeavors that she contributes her talents to. “I think I’m just a person that enjoys very much to be working and busy, especially when I’m passionate about what I’m doing,” says Emerson when I wonder aloud how she finds the time and energy for all her projects. “As long as what I am doing is committed to the voice that I want to represent, and the voices that I want to uplift, then I’m going to go all-in all the time for that, because it means something to me. It means even more to me for my daughters to watch me pursue my passion with such tenacity and force, because I want them to know that they can also do that.” Although Emerson has studied and worked in Chicago and New York, she went to Dr. Phillips High School and has family in Orlando. While having her children close to their grandmother is a consideration, Emerson says that isn’t the only thing keeping here in Central Florida. “This year I was sought for a few jobs that would have made me move out of town, and I really considered them — I’m not going to lie — but I think I have some unfinished business here in Orlando,” says Emerson. “I hope that I’m doing some good in the community and I want to keep doing that. … Somehow we’ve

taken all of our great talent and we drive them away to other states; I want to create talented people, and then keep them here.” As a founding member of the executive team for Central Florida Entertainment Advocacy, Emerson has been a leading voice for equity in our local arts industry. So it’s no shock that, as director of Garden Theatre’s Beauty and the Beast, she’s shaken up the stereotypical story by casting Black performers in central roles. But I was a bit surprised to learn that the theater’s artistic director, Joe Walsh, was the one who initially approached Emerson with the project, which she says shows what “an amazing pioneer of really shaking up his white patrons” he’s been over recent years. Unfortunately, not everyone has been as supportive, as evidenced by racist and sizeist social media reactions to publicity photos of Da’Zaria Harris as Belle. “I kind of hate that the casting of Beauty and the Beast is so radical. I’m not stupid; I know that it is, I just hate that it is, because the reality is it’s 2022,” says Emerson. “To see that beautiful woman playing this role really shouldn’t be that radical; to still have a preconceived notion that that role has to be one way, or is white — which the script says nothing about — that is what’s radical.” Beyond the casting of the leading lady and her father, Maurice (played by veteran actor Michael Morman), Emerson says her team has been “intentional” about weaving diversity into every element of the show, down to

the costumes for the supporting cast. “We have members of the LGBTQ+ community who we looked at the first day and said, ‘We’re going to make this world so that you can be nonbinary if that’s how you feel comfortable,’” Emerson recalls. “If you want to display your Puerto Rican heritage or wherever you come from, let’s put that in your costume. Talk to us. Let’s make this for you, because if we’re creating a world, that means it could actually be whatever it needs to be.” More than mere philosophy or politics, Emerson’s passion for this production seems to come from a deeply personal place. “Beauty and the Beast was actually my favorite Disney show growing up, so I watched with my daughters all the time. The difference is when I used to watch it, I never could see myself in it,” says Emerson. “When my girls watch it, because of the people who I’ve decided to surround them with, and kind of the life they get to grow up with, which is much more representative than the life that I grew up with — they imagine and can see themselves in all of the story. “Society has taught us that we can only see things one way, [and] we have to break this industry out of the ‘fact’ that only the tiny size-zero white girl can be beautiful,” Emerson concludes. “The magic of that tale needs to be for all of us [and] fairy tales in general should be for any little girl who wants to put themselves in it, and any little boy who wants to put themselves in it.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Now onto the sweets — the first being a panini with brie, apple and fig ($13.99). No, it wasn’t technically a dessert offering, but that fig jam was sah-weeet, and using Red Delicious instead of Granny Smith apples made this sandwich come close to cloying. It was just as sweet as the waffle cone stuffed with cheesecake ($9.99), a solid capper with the photogenics to match. It even came with a couple of addicting little brownie brittle bites that I wanted more of. But that was before the enormous crêpe platter was plopped onto the table. Everything from strawberries and banana slices to chocolate sauce, Nutella, dulce de leche and apple crisp were spread onto the eight individualsized crepes. Our sole complaint — the crêpes were too thick. Not pancake thick, but still too thick to call crêpes. JillyCakes proprietor Jillian Hopke offers a rotating selection of her cupcakes at Dolce, but the Cadbury egg cupcake ($4.25) we sampled wasn’t worthy of the Cupcake Wars Season 6 champion. This sweet nuthin’ was too dry and crumbly, and both the cream cheese buttercream and the custard filling were ice-cold. I should mention that Dolce serves breakfast items (waffles, avocado toast, scrambled eggs, bagel sandwiches and the like) all day every day. They even offer unlimited mimosas for $15. Ultimately, though, Dolce is a place for dessert lovers. I’ll come back to try the 10 or so other confections I noticed, including the “Hotsie Totsie Affogato,” “Key Lime Garbo Parfait” and Hopke’s other cupcakes, but I’ll likely pass on the savories. Needless to say, future visits will be short, but sweet.

After five years of food trucking, Jacked Up Vegan, specializing in meatless burgers, barbecue and tacos, has moved into the Winter Park Collective (formerly Wine Barn) at 959 W. Fairbanks Ave. The Winter Park Collective also features Pizza Nova, a Neapolitan-style pizzeria, as well as WPC Osteria, offering a menu of simple Italian fare and an extensive selection of wine … The Courtesy Bar will shut its downtown locale May 15 and move in next to the Foxtail Farmhouse at 1282 N. Orange Ave. in Winter Park. Swine & Sons also plans to join the cocktail bar in the renovated space being newly dubbed the “Winter Park Social House.” Swine & Sons owners Rhys and Alexia Gawlak will move from their current space inside the Local Butcher & Marketplace and serve Southern fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as small bites at the new Courtesy Bar in a subconcept called BarSwine. Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream will also have a space in the building … Ga 2 Go, a Mills 50 soup joint touting a menu of modern Vietnamese street fare, has opened at 1216 E. Colonial Drive. The specialty is pho ga, or chicken pho, served in a setting that closely replicates eating on the streets of Hanoi (sans the tuktuks) … Look for Sodough Square, the Detroitstyle pizzeria by Tin & Taco founder Rob Bair, to soft-open next week at 419 E. Michigan St. … Look for New York Bagel & Deli to open a location in the old Subway space at 2008 E. Colonial Drive near Hampton Ave. in Colonialtown … Anejo Cocina Mexicana will open this week in the old Dexter’s New Standard space in the Ravaudage complex in Winter Park … An outpost of Salt & Straw, the Portland, Oregon-based ice cream shop with a cult following, has opened at Disney Springs … Over in Longwood, look for another Twistee Treat to open near the intersection of State Road 434 and Highway 17-92. Expect a mid-May opening … Papasan’s Vietnamese Cuisine, “the first Vietnamese restaurant in St. Cloud,” has opened at 1358 S. Narcoossee Road … Patisserie Bon Beurre will open to the public on the second Saturday of every month selling their scrummy croissants, financiers, pains au chocolat, “butter bombs,” cookies and more out of their kitchen space at 110 Live Oaks Blvd. in Casselberry. Financier Bistro executive chef Theo Goupil is overseeing baking operations.

FOUR FLAMINGOS Deft and playful Floribbean creations envisioned by Top Chef: All-Stars winner Richard Blais are the draw at this restaurant inside the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. Molecular theatrics play an active role in the food and cocktails, but those shying away from the chemical chicanery (grilled lobster, tilefish beurre blanc and seafood moqueca) tend to be most gratifying. Desserts are a must, especially the gorgeous Key lime blossom pie. (reviewed March 9) Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, 1 Grand Cypress Blvd., 407-239-1234, fourflamingosorlando. com, $$$$

JAM HOT CHICKEN Nashville hot chicken gets the gentrified treatment in gentrified Hannibal Square, and it’s a poultry pyro’s dream: Bell & Evans chicken kicked with habañero, ghost and Carolina Reaper peppers.

ISTANBUL GRILL The grilled meats at this unfussy South OBT restaurant rival those of any other local Turkish kebab house — well-seasoned lamb kofta, piquant adana and plush tenderloin especially.

1921 MOUNT DORA

The aviation-themed pizzeria has a geekycool interior, but it’s the sugar-crusted pizzas that lure in scores of Brazilian pizza hounds. Toppings range from the unorthodox (sweet corn, catupiry, olives with pits) to the traditional, but you’ll want to use a fork and knife. Smaller topping-filled sfihas are also a draw and make ideal dessert endings. Closed Monday. (reviewed March 23) 2869 Wilshire Drive, 407-777-1414, 14bispizzeria.com, $$

The Mount Dora stunner maintains a steadfast dedication to showcasing Florida ingredients, but with a new level of artistry thanks to chef Chris Edwards and his team.

LOCAL RELEASES

For a relatively quiet Central Florida burg, the music coming out of Lakeland has grabbed my attention a disproportionate amount of times. The latest instance is young producer Kaelin Ellis, an Orlando expat and Full Sail graduate who just released a great new album titled The Funk Will Prevail. Besides his own music, he’s been building a production name with artists like Kaytranada, Waldo, Deffie and K-pop supergroup Exo. Ellis’ latest, and probably most notable, star joint was with rap iconoclast Lupe Fiasco, with whom he created a collaborative EP titled House in 2020 that grew out of a Twitter exchange during the pandemic lockdown. Of Ellis’ six albums so far, The Funk Will Prevail is perhaps his most realized. It’s 14 tracks of proof that he’s operating on a stratum above. Although Ellis is a product of the Soundcloud generation, his aesthetic plays like a complete musical idea next to the rampant “simple”-ism of his contemporaries, especially on this sophisticated album. Dedicated to his late grandfather, The Funk corrals the sundry sounds and attitudes of hip-hop, beat scene, jazz and funk into a sonic composite that’s cohesive and forward. Between the mix of guest musicians and producers, these songs pop with a vibrant balance between electronic and organic. The sum is a feat of cerebral finesse. Besides streaming everywhere, Kaelin Ellis’ The Funk Will Prevail can also be owned as a name-your-price download on Bandcamp.

APRIL 20-26, 2022 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● APRIL 20-26, 2022 ● orlandoweekly.com

TAURUS (April 20–May 20): In 1879, Taurus-born Williamina Fleming was working as a maid for astronomer Edward Charles Pickering, director of the Harvard Observatory. Impressed with her intelligence, Pickering hired Fleming to do scientific work. By 1893, she had become a prominent, award-winning astronomer. Ultimately, she discovered the Horsehead Nebula, helped develop a system for identifying stars, and cataloged thousands of astronomical phenomena. I propose that we make her your role model for the duration of 2022. If there has ever been a year when you might achieve progress like Fleming’s, it’s this one. GEMINI (May 21–June 20): For 2,500 years, Egypt was a conquered territory ruled by non-Egyptians. Persians took control in 525 BCE. Greeks replaced them. In succeeding centuries, Egypt had to submit to the authority of the Roman Empire, the Persians again, the Byzantine Empire, the Arab Islamic Caliphate, the Mamluk Sultanate, the Ottomans and the British. When British troops withdrew from their occupation in 1956, Egypt was finally an independent nation self-ruled by Egyptians. If there are any elements of your own life story that even partially resemble Egypt’s history, I have good news — 2022 is the year you can achieve a more complete version of sovereignty than you have ever enjoyed. And the next phase of your freedom work begins now. CANCER (June 21–July 22): During the next four weeks, some of the best lessons you can study and learn will come to you while you’re socializing and communicating. Even more than is usually the case, your friends and allies will offer you crucial information that has the power to catalyze dynamic decisions. Lucky encounters with Very Interesting People may open up possibilities worth investigating. And here’s a fun X-factor: The sometimes surprising words that fly out of your mouth during lively conversations will provide clues about what your deep self has been halfconsciously dreaming of. LEO (July 23–Aug. 22): “Hold on tight, I would tell myself, but there was nothing for me to hold on to.” A character in one of Haruki Murakami’s novels says that. In contrast to that poor soul, Leo, I’m happy to tell you that there will indeed be a reliable and sturdy source for you to hold onto in the coming weeks — maybe more than one. I’m glad! In my astrological opinion, now is a time when you’ll be smart to get thoroughly anchored. It’s not that I think you will be in jeopardy. Rather, you’re in a phase when it’s more important than usual to identify what makes you feel

stable and secure. It’s time to bolster your foundations and strengthen your roots. VIRGO (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): In the latter half of the 19th century, the U.S. government collaborated with professional hunters to kill millions of bison living in America’s Great Plains. Why? It was an effort to subjugate the indigenous people who lived there by eliminating the animals that were their source of food, clothing, shelter, bedding, ropes, shields and ornaments. The beloved and useful creatures might have gone extinct altogether if it had not been for the intervention of a Virgo rancher named Mary Ann “Molly” Goodnight. She single-handedly rebuilt the bison herds from a few remaining survivors. I propose that we make Goodnight your inspirational role model for the rest of 2022. What dwindling resources or atrisk assets could you restore to health? LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): British Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758–1805) was born under the sign of Libra. He was a brilliant and unconventional strategist whose leadership brought many naval victories for his country. Yet he was blind in one eye, was missing most of his right arm from a battle wound, and was in constant discomfort from chronic seasickness. I propose we make him one of your patron saints for the coming weeks. May he inspire you to do your best and surpass your previous accomplishments even if you’re not feeling perfect. (But also keep in mind: The problems you have to deal with will be far milder than Nelson’s.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): Antiapartheid activist Bantu Stephen Biko (1946–1977) was profoundly committed to authenticity. The repressive South African government hated that about him. Biko said, “I’m going to be me as I am, and you can beat me or jail me or even kill me, but I’m not going to be what you want me to be.” Fortunately for you, Scorpio, you’re in far less danger as you become more and more of your genuine self. That’s not to say the task of learning how to be true to your deep soul is entirely risk-free. There are people out there, even allies, who may be afraid of or resistant to your efforts. Don’t let their pressure influence you to dilute your holy quest. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): “The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul,” said Sagittarian painter Wassily Kandinsky. Inspired by his observation, I’m telling you, “The practical dreamer should train not only her reasoning abilities but also her primal intuition, creative imagination, nonrational perceptivity, animal instincts and rowdy wisdom.” I especially urge you to embody my advice in the

coming weeks, Sagittarius. Now is a favorable time to make abundant use of the other modes of intelligence that help you understand life as it really is — and not merely as the logical, analytical mind conceives it to be. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): The language spoken by the indigenous Cherokee people is at least 3,000 years old. But it never had a written component until the 1820s. Then a Cherokee polymath named Sequoyah formulated a syllabary, making it possible for the first time to read and write the language. It was a herculean accomplishment with few precedents in history. I propose we name him your inspirational role model for the rest of 2022. In my astrological understanding, you are poised to make dramatic breakthroughs in self-expression and communication that will serve you and others for a long time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): A study by psychologists concludes there is a good way to enhance your willpower: For a given time, say one week, use your nondominant hand to brush your teeth, wield your computer mouse, open your front door with your key or perform other habitual activities. Doing so boosts your ability to overcome regular patterns that tend to keep you mired in inertia. You’re more likely to summon the resolution and drive necessary to initiate new approaches in all areas of your life — and stick with them. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to try this experiment. PISCES (Feb. 19–March 20): In his book Thus Spoke Zarathustra, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, “You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way and the only way, it does not exist.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will be justified to say something like that in the near future. Now is a favorable time to honestly acknowledge differences between you and others — and accept those differences just as they are. The important point is to do what you need to do without decreeing that other people are wrong or misguided. ARIES (March 21–April 19): Aries author Marge Piercy writes, “I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart, who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience, who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward, who do what has to be done, again and again.” According to my analysis of the astrological factors, you’ll be wise to be like a person Piercy describes. You’re entering a phase of your cycle when diligent work and impeccable self-discipline are most necessary and most likely to yield stellar rewards.

Meet Duke! Duke (A471488) came through our doors with a badly infected paw. We gave him an emergency amputation, and he went into foster care. By all accounts, Duke was a perfect gentlemen on three legs. Got along with the resident animals and family, calm and sweet; we felt he would be an easy adoption. And he was. He was adopted soon after his recovery period, but sadly was returned the same day, after just three hours. Duke apparently showed some toy aggression after what we felt was a rushed introduction to the resident pet. At OCAS we always stress this to our adopters: It takes time and patience. Your newly adopted dog should never be meeting a new animal on their first day in a strange place. It doesn’t matter how friendly your dog is, or how sweet and small, or how friendly the new dog is. Dogs need TIME. Time to decompress. Time to get comfortable. Time to get to know you. Time to learn to love, and realize that they are finally home.

Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, please call 407-836-3111 or visit ocnetpets.com.
