Readers react to stories in the Aug. 23 issue. A day after ducking a question about Confederate statues, Florida Sen. Bill Nelson released a statement saying he believes the two in Tallahassee should be moved to a cemetery. He also tweeted, ”Confederate statues belong in a historical museum or cemetery, not a place of honor.” @Rick Ashby These statues have been an affront to equality and civil rights from the day they were erected. Not dealing with the issues surrounding the Confederacy and allowing these to be built in the first place is a symptom of the problem that our racist past was never properly dealt with in the public forum. Now that Nazis and white supremacists have come out of the woodwork it is a great time to finally put to rest the lies that these statues represent and put them in their proper place: a “holocaust” museum.

@Doug Mosley What the hell is going on in this country with all these politicians giving in to these protesters about flags and monuments being offensive? Where was the pissing and moaning for the last 150 years as these statues and flags flew throughout the land. Never heard anything about it while Obama was in office for eight years. The people that are fueling this [are] the news media and politicians that are buying votes by siding with the protesters. Never heard a word from Bill Nelson about this issue during his longtime political career, we need to remember at election time these assholes and remove them from office and take this great country back. @Rebecca Taylor Well that’s one way to “preserve the history.” I don’t care where they put them but they certainly don’t belong in front our courthouses and public parks. @Barbara Rutledge You go, Bill Nelson. Put these racist monuments where they can be appreciated by dead traitors.

MONEY TALKS Protests overshadow Marco Rubio at Seminole County Republican fundraiser BY M O N I V E TTE CO R D E I R O

lison Holmes had to pay $600 to speak with her senator. The woman and her young son, who has cerebral palsy, bought VIP tickets to see U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio at the Lincoln Day Dinner for Seminole County Republicans on Tuesday. At an event where ticket prices ranged from $150 to $3,000, Holmes and her son wanted to talk to Rubio about how repealing Obamacare would affect the Medicaid they depend on. “I have tried calling your office, I’ve written to your office, I’ve emailed your office,” Holmes said in a video she streamed live on Facebook. ”We’ve asked for a town hall because I just feel it’s so unfair to take away Medicaid. We’ve already had it annihilated – the Medicaid expansion – in Florida. And to not even respond to us, to not give us the option to say, ‘I’m not a left-wing extremist.’ I’m a mother of three children and I’m terrified with what’s going on.” After promising to refund her $600, Rubio replied that he loves town halls despite not having once since he was reelected last November. “The problem with town halls is this conversation we’re having now would have been impossible at a town hall,” Florida‘s junior senator said. “There would have been 50 or 60 people there whose only job would have been to scream at everything I said and interrupt so they can show off for cameras and then we could never have this conversation.” For months, Floridians have been asking Rubio to hold a town hall, with the majority wanting to focus on the Republican repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act. Previously, the senator’s explanation for skipping town halls was because activists will “heckle and scream” at him. One of the last attempts by Senate Republicans to repeal Obamacare would have increased the number of uninsured people by 16 million by 2026, so yeah, there’s probably a reason Floridians are a little irate at Rubio ignoring them. The senator also told Holmes he doesn’t approve of cutting Medicaid, though as Politifact has pointed out, one of the GOP’s plans would have curbed the rate of spending by the federal government and ultimately forced states to make tough choices. At last Tuesday’s dinner, around 100 protesters gathered outside the Hilton orlandoweekly.com

Altamonte Springs, chanting “Shame on Rubio! Shame on Rubio!” to the beat of a tambourine. Inside, Seminole Republicans dined as they listened to Rubio preach better days for America after white supremacist rallies in Charlottesville. “[The Republican Party] is not a place where we believe one race of people is superior to another race of people,” Rubio said to applause. “And it’s important for us to make that clear because I believe these people that are spouting that hatred pose a potential existential threat to the conservative movement.” Then the Republican senator, taking a page from Donald Trump’s book, decided to subtly place some blame on the other side. “I think having that high moral high ground allows us to point to others – communists, socialists, anarchists – who have decided that they have the right to take violent action against people they disagree with,” he said. “And that needs to be pointed out and has not received enough coverage. The fact that there are people on the other side of the political spectrum who decide they can physically attack people they don’t like – and it’s not just Nazis and KKK people. They’ve attacked people that are, in their definition, not acceptable. It’s not acceptable, either.” At one point in his speech, Rubio was interrupted by a climate-change activist who asked why he took money from the oil industry. The senator responded with what sounded like a veiled threat. “I’m so glad I live in America where she can say that,” Rubio said. “In a lot of other countries, she’d go to jail.” Holmes pleaded with Rubio to hold a town hall with a group of people that have serious questions. “I’ve been willing to do town halls of that nature,” he told her. “But the problem with that is, undoubtedly is, you can’t tell people they can’t show up. And you’re right, both sides do it. But this is a broader problem in our society. It’s not just health care. We can’t talk about anything in America anymore.” Rubio promised Holmes a meeting in Orlando with her and a group of likeminded people with serious questions, so if you’re one of the lucky ones to get in, let us (and the rest of Florida) know how it goes. mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com

Charlottesville, then pardoning the racist former sheriff Joe Arpaio as Harvey bore down on the Texas coast, a Friday-night news dump that served as a slap in the face to both the Hispanic communities in Arizona that Arpaio gleefully terrorized as well as all those who care about the rule of law. (Arpaio, it’s worth noting, was convicted of ignoring a federal judge’s order to stop unconstitutionally profiling Latinos; his pardon sends a clear message to Trump acolytes who may find themselves facing court orders in the Russia investigation.) Then on Sunday, NBC News reported that the administration will soon end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, President Obama’s signature immigration policy. No longer will those whose parents brought them to America illegally be protected from deportation; instead, the government wants to ship them back to countries that are often entirely foreign to them. It’s another callous sop to Trump’s shrinking base and a coldhearted move that seems more tied to Trump’s desire to expunge Obama’s legacy that any actual policy goal. Biden’s right. This is a battle for the American soul, and a constant reminder that decency and equality and human dignity are worth fighting for. But so too is the fight against climate change – which, though less visceral than the neo-Nazis who’ve found a champion in Donald Trump, will have far greater ramifications for our posterity. Houston is only the beginning.

he clock is ticking. Any minute, he could get called away for a momentous occasion – the birth of his brother’s first child. But at present, Andrew Schumann has other firstborns on his mind: 18 Florida grasshopper sparrows. A lot is riding on the survival of these tiny chicks no larger than a fingertip upon hatching; with only 50-60 remaining in the wild, if captive breeding fails, their kind may disappear from the planet. As animal collection manager at White Oak Conservation Foundation, Schumann, along with his team of two keepers and two interns, manages bird programs on the 13,000-acre White Oak Plantation miles down a dirt road in rural Yulee. Driving around the property feels something like taking a worldwide safari in an afternoon; you’ll see three of the five remaining rhinoceros species – Indian, white and Southern black – cavorting in open fields, feed bay leaves to a crèche of reticulated giraffes, admire the magnificently curving horns of the lesser kudu and the striking stripes of the okapi, and get a good look at one of few remaining Père David’s deer, a species that

is extinct in the wild. There is no place quite like it. White Oak is not merely a showpiece, however; it is a state-of-the-art research facility working to save some of the world’s most critically endangered species. The flock Schumann oversees comes from the earth’s far corners – the Amazon rain forest, subSaharan Africa, subtropical U.S., New Guinea. Some are hued so vibrantly they could blend into a Leonid Afremov painting – double-wattled cassowaries, Mississippi sandhill cranes, Southern ground hornbills. There are creatures so exotic they may well be the stuff dreams are made of – statuesque wattled cranes, palm cockatoos with smoky-grey mohawks, blue-billed curassows with kinky, inky-black crowns. And now Florida grasshopper sparrows. Tipping the scales at barely an ounce, with black and grey plumage streaked with brown and yellowish-brown, these secretive grounddwellers from south-central Florida have neither the size, the distant homeland, nor the dramatic

appearance of many of their neighbors at White Oak. Schumann’s fondness for them is plain nevertheless. He describes the “delicate” way they disassemble grasshoppers before eating them, noting with a chuckle that “they like green ones.” The few who are familiar with this diminutive songbird seem to have a soft spot for them, understandably so – they’re just so darn cute, hopping about with a plucky tenacity that calls to mind the sweet precociousness of children. Researchers’ fondness for the Florida grasshopper sparrow certainly can’t hurt, for the birds need all the help they can get. Their numbers have plummeted so rapidly in the last several years that scholars estimate the likelihood of the Florida grasshopper sparrow’s extinction in coming years at approximately 20 percent. Many believe the odds are even higher. “It seems pretty grim,” Schumann says. No one is giving up, though; far from it. A herculean effort is currently under way to pull the sparrow back from the brink of extinction. With its breeding program, for which it receives some federal funds, White Oak is the most recent addition to a large coalition that includes U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the Florida Grasshopper Sparrow Working Group, the National Audubon Society, Rare Species Conservatory Foundation, Archbold Biological Station, the Florida Park Service and others, racing the clock to save the Florida grasshopper sparrow.

of clumps of native grasses, dwarf oaks and saw palmetto. It nests on the ground of this grassland, consuming bugs and seeds. Though it does eat the insect, the sparrows are named for one of their buzzing, grasshopper-like calls. The decline of the Florida grasshopper sparrow began, by most counts, in the early-to-mid 20th century when most of its habitat was lost to citrus, sod and pine farms and pastures. Today between 5 and 15 percent of the Florida dry prairie remains. The remaining 45,000 hectares is in mostly isolated pockets scattered throughout its original territory. In 1978, the state listed the Florida grasshopper sparrow as endangered; in 1986, it was added to the federal endangered species list. That year, official counts estimated there were 1,000 in the wild.

irst identified in 1901 in southern Osceola County, the Florida grasshopper sparrow was recognized as a distinct subspecies of the Eastern grasshopper sparrow in 1910. The two A juvenile sparrow at RSCF so closely resemble one another that only in the hand can a trained eye differentiate between them. The Florida grasshopper sparrow has a thicker bill, darker coloring with more grey plumage, and, most importantly, unlike its Eastern cousin, the Floridian subspecies is nonmigratory, remaining within miles of its birth throughout its lifetime. It is one of few species that is truly, and only, Floridian. The sparrow resides exclusively on the dry praiIn spite of the fragmentary nature of rie of the state’s southern interior, a harsh, unforgiving ecosystem prone to frequent remaining habitat, the population remained fires and occasional floods, where the sun relatively stable for many years.

Florida grasshopper sparrows in the wild. Sometime between the mid-aughts and 2012, first one, then another subpopulation went into freefall until there were steep losses across all populations. Nesting success plummeted, as did the over-winter survival rates for males. In just over a decade, the Florida grasshopper sparrow has declined by nearly 95 percent. In the initial scramble, everyone knew they were disappearing, but no one knew why. Similar factors affect subgroups, but no one has been able to identify a unifying cause for its decline. Today researchers and land managers say that there may be no single smoking gun. “This is 10 problems, maybe 20,” says Schumann. Paul Reillo, president of the Rare Species Conservatory Foundation, the first facility to launch a Florida grasshopper sparrow captive breeding program, agrees. “[It is] most likely a combination of factors: habitat conversion, climate change, fire ants.” This list is by no means exhaustive. Invasive hogs are another factor. Predation by other native and nonnative species is another. More extreme weather patterns is another. Competition for food from non-native species may also contribute; so too the effect of pest control on insect populations. Nevertheless, the speed with which it has disappeared from the landscape has mystified those who have worked for decades to save the Florida grasshopper sparrow. Land managers have done an exceptional job restoring and improving existing habitat. Researchers have generated much-needed data on behavior, diet, life cycle, etc. U.S. Fish and Wildlife has also contributed significantly with both funding and public outreach.

than solutions, it has become a sprint to preserve what remains of the wild population, rescue and breed as many as possible and simultaneously identify the cause for the sudden drop in population.

here had been talk of starting a breeding program, but the necessity was seen as relatively low until unprecedented numbers of Florida grasshopper sparrows started disappearing from the wild. In 2015, wildlife officials rescued eggs from flooded nests and transported them to RSCF; of the 23 eggs, incredibly, 21 hatched. They were the first to hatch from incubation. “That’s kind of a major feat technologically because those eggs are so, so small,” says Reillo. Today some of those same sparrows are in RSCF’s breeding program, a huge, and crucial, feat for any such endeavor. As “naive” birds who have never bred before, the sparrows’ first nesting attempts this year were a bit hit-or-miss, with females sometimes laying eggs outside the nest, then not sitting them. (Researchers remove these eggs and incubate them. On July 1, RSCF hatched the first egg to be incubated from day one – another major coup.) As the breeding season, which runs from roughly April to July, has continued, the birds’ performance has improved. In yet another positive sign, genetic testing has found that the birds are not suffering from inbreeding depression, which often affects endangered species. These successes have researchers feeling cautiously optimistic. Still, captive breeding is essentially a Hail Mary attempt to save a species. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn’t. Both White Oak and RSCF have incorporated lessons learned from other programs, such as the dusky seaside sparrow breeding program, which failed to save it from dying out in 1987. In the case of the dusky seaside sparrow, which lived in the salt marshes of Merritt Island and the St. Johns River west of Titusville, the breeding program began too late. Others, such as the California condor program, have successfully thwarted extinction. A lot depends on how a creature responds to captive breeding. Happily, perhaps miraculously, not only can Florida grasshopper sparrows be successfully hand-reared – an intense undertaking that requires feedings every 30 minutes to an hour for 18-24 hours a day for the first week and a half or so – they also breed very well in captivity. White Oak started with three wildcaught pairs and five offspring. By mid-June, they had 18 chicks. Researchers have observed sparrows attempting five nestings in a single season, and Schumann says that by the time the breeding season

ends, their sparrows could rear as many as 24 more. Wild-caught pairs always breed better than birds raised in captivity, but RSCF has found that even captive-raised sparrows will successfully breed. White Oak’s management style differs from most breeding programs, where birds are kept in a more traditional, controlled environment. Its sparrow enclosures are built atop a grassy area measuring 30 feet long by 8 feet wide and 8 feet tall, creating as close to a natural habitat as possible. “I found a spot that if I was a grasshopper sparrow, I would live there,” Schumann says of how they selected the site. Though it’s over 200 miles north of the sparrow’s habitat, the open field containing the 14 enclosures does remind one of a miniature prairie. Six of the enclosures house Eastern grasshopper sparrows, which White Oak bred as it designed the program for the Floridian subspecies. Schumann says they were encouraged when, during migration, some Eastern sparrows stopped over for a while before continuing northward. Breeding in a more natural environment does present some challenges, though. Before they could safely breed sparrows, they had to contend with over 90 invasive fire ant nests nearby. Controlling these voracious eaters with poison is not only relatively ineffective, it could harm the sparrows – a non-option. They brought in entomologist Joshua King, an associate professor at the University of Central Florida who has developed a diesel-powered machine that heats a large quantity of water to 150°F, which is then pumped into ant mounds with a probe, killing all within minutes. First used in 2015 to control fire ants near sea turtle nests at Fort de Soto to great success, King’s provisionally patented, eco-friendly breakthrough in ant

control is a lifeline for the Florida grasshopper sparrow. King says that though it’s long been known that hot water kills fire ants, before his invention, there was no practical way to do it in the field, a source of great consternation for researchers. “What we’ve seen with the grasshopper sparrow, [ants] kill all the hatchlings that emerge,” King says. Now when wildlife officials locate a nest, they place fencing around it to keep out other predators, such as snakes or even cattle on private land, then he follows, driving in with the machine on a trailer to treat all ant mounds within 10 meters of the nest. “The combined effort has resulted in not losing any chicks … this is making everybody happy,” King says.

ire ant predation doesn’t explain the sudden drop in all populations, however. Erin Ragheb, an assistant research scientist with FWC, studies Florida grasshopper sparrows at the Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area, which, along with Avon Park Bombing Range and Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park, is one of three public lands where the sparrows are found. (There are a handful on private lands as well.) Unlike the other two, Ragheb says that Three Lakes, where the largest wild population resides, had only identified one possible case of ant predation. This year, nest cams revealed that snakes and Eastern spotted skunks, all native species, were helping themselves to the tasty babies Reillo referred to as “the potato chip of the bird world.” Three Lakes is currently exploring solutions. Improving lower-than-usual rates of nesting success is critical, but that alone will probably not save the Florida grasshopper sparrow. “There is no subpopulation that is doing CONTINUED ON PaGe 17

It’s still in the early phases, but, if successful, they may figure out what’s killing and possibly how to save the Florida grasshopper sparrow. “The key to this, in terms of the little bit of the science, is if we can isolate these pathogens, then we can culture them,

Even as they celebrate recent triumphs, everyone fighting for the Florida grasshopper sparrow acknowledges that it is an uphill battle. “There’s a huge amount of challenges. We all know it.

As a Central Florida-based writ-

er who bounces between New York and California, I’m sometimes guilty of falling into the elitist trap of overlooking any culture between the coasts. But as Mark Twain said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness,” and my recent visit to the Indianapolis Fringe Festival opened my eyes to proof that there’s much more to Indiana than pace cars and Mike Pence. I was drawn to last week’s IndyFringe – as were more than a dozen other Orlando-associated artists – by its new associate producer and former Orlando Fringe executive director, George Wallace. Once there, we found a city with some elements that put Orlando to shame, such as the vast Indianapolis Museum of Art, and a Portlandia-esque foodie culture (I now know what cow my coffee creamer came from). We also discovered a Fringe Festival with future potential that reminded me of our own in the early aughts. While there, I took time to interview my fellow Floridians about their experiences in Indy, and their observations about what each city’s fest could learn from the other.

“We came to Indy for a family visit, and because we wanted to come and support Orlando performers with shows here. We also came to see George in his new role, and wanted to see a different Fringe Fest besides Orlando. It’s great that Indy has a large air-conditioned location for mingling with the artists and hearing about their shows, plus a place to regroup and look at the program to choose shows. It’s a room not just for artists, but for theater patrons too. The Purple Venue [at Orlando Fringe] used to be this type of space.

Irish Shannon’s 41 W. Church St., 407-866-1191, irishshannons.com there’s very little at Irish Shannon’s for those looking for an authentic Irish pub. Sure, they have a facade of fake Jameson kegs on a wall. Yes, they serve guinness. And, OK, they have a big picture of not-a-boxer Conor Mcgregor, but that kind of tells you exactly what kind of “Irish” they’re going for. Connected to Latitudes/Chillers, Irish Shannon’s goes after the same post-grad set who still want to party like they’re in college, but don’t want to drive all the way out to uCF to do it. go during happy hour on Fridays for more reasonable prices than those listed on the menu (selling a bottle of Budweiser for $5 should be a federal crime).

The price range generally reflects the average cost of one dinner entree. Bakeries, ice cream shops, etc. reflect relative cost for one person. Search hundreds more reviews at orlandoweekly.com

Paddlefish This three-story floating fortress, formerly Fulton’s Crab House, is the best place for seafood in Disney Springs, though the prices may have you abandoning ship. Still, all the palatable fare – lobster corn dogs, fried green tomato crab cakes, striped bass en papillote, and delightful seafood boils comprising your choice of king and queen crab, mussels, clams, Gulf shrimp, lobster and/or chouriço – make the prices easier to stomach. Strawberry shortcake and a chocolatebourbon tart with candied bacon also help. Some rooms can be louder than others, so don’t hesitate to request a quieter spot if desired. 1670 Buena Vista Drive, 407-934-2628; $$$$

The WaTerfroNT The fare coming out of the kitchen of this lakeside bar/restaurant isn’t just a notch above its Julie’s Waterfront days, but downright impressive. Duroc Korean pork belly with house kimchi, sesame-crusted ahi tuna with seaweed salad, and tuna poke bring an undeniable Asian bent to the menu, but fish camp classics like blackened catfish and stellar fish (haddock) and chips are worth consideration. The cheeseburger, like the chocolate peanut butter pie with fresh whipped cream, is a knockout. Open daily. 4201 S. Orange Ave., 407-866-0468; $$

Big KahuNa’s islaNd sTyle BoWls Welcoming Winter Springs poké joint does it right with fresh seafood options (ahi tuna, hamachi, salmon, shrimp and octopus) and a bevy of marinades, sauces and toppings from which to choose. Forgo the five set poké bowls listed on the menu and have fun experimenting with customizing your bowl. Don’t leave without a Dole Whip indulgence. Open daily. 1450 Tuskawilla Road, Winter Springs, 407-543-3700; $

The PoliTe Pig Local notables James and Julie Petrakis of the RavPig are joined by James’ brother Brian to bring the flavor of proper Southern ’cue to the international masses at Disney Springs. Of note: luscious brisket and pork shoulder; smoked chicken

wings; crispy Brussels sprouts; and the sausage hoagie. Our baby back ribs were dry, even after a trip to the sauce bar. Cask & Larder brews, as well as a bourbon bar stocked with Pappy Van Winkle, will properly whet the whistle. Disney Springs, 1536 Buena Vista Drive, 407-938-7444; $$

The Pie orlaNdo

The Pie offers vivid, sensual, Romanstyle pizza al taglio (by the slice) to the fortunate denizens of College Park, so if you’re in the area, pop by for a squarish slab of potato pie (our fave), or a protein-packed “meat lover” with pepperoni, sausage, meatball, mortadella and prosciutto. Slices vary from day to day, but pies are also available in personal size (four slices) or large (eight slices). The margherita, our go-to takeout order, is stellar. Open daily. 2429 Edgewater Drive, 407-757-2426; $

MADE FRESH TO ORDER

TiN & Taco

Hearty and filling tacos are the calling card for this bustling downtown taqueria. Eight bucks scores your choice of two tacos, or the same ingredients in a burrito, in a rice bowl, or tossed in a bag of Doritos. Stick to the tacos – the tortillas are sprinkled with cheddar and fried before being stuffed with sundry meats. Faves are the beefy “Tacosaurus” and “Taco Bomb.” Pass on the chips and queso. A nice selection of craft beer and sodas by Caleb’s keep things appropriately crafty. Closed Sundays. 40 W. Washington St., 407-425-4340; $

SOULFUL FOOD

rasa asiaN sTreeT food

Rasa’s focus is the best dishes from Malaysia’s hawker stalls and, for the most part, they succeed with such dishes as kari puffs, hakka noodles and “luse chicken,” greened in a marinade of cilantro and basil. The digs are slick, and the inviting bar begs for a cocktail program, though the sake, craft beer and wine crowd don’t seem to mind. Look for bao to be served from the stall in the back of the restaurant soon. Open daily for lunch and dinner. 7730 W. Sand Lake Road, 407-930-0402; $$

marKeT To TaBle resTauraNT

There’s no questioning the skill and technique used to fashion the dishes served at this Winter Garden resto. Chef Ryan Freelove has the chops to pull off proficiently braised lamb shank over truffle gnocchi, and crackling golden tilefish with a succotash of corn salsa and spelt. The menu is seasonal, with a focus on fresh, local and sustainable ingredients (some grown on the roof). On the sweeter end, a giant raspberry macaron filled with vanilla gelato is the way to go, and ideal for sharing. The restaurant is open Wednesdays to Saturdays for dinner, and Saturdays and Sundays for brunch. Closed Monday and Tuesday. 146 W. Plant St., Winter Garden, 407-395-9871; $$$$ n

ON SCREENS iN oRlando

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

By St eve SchneiDe r thiS WeeK: Close Encounters of the Third Kind The concept

of the director’s cut is a thorny one. If a filmmaker isn’t careful, the ability to revise his or her work after its initial dissemination to the public can degenerate from a luxury into an obsession. That might be why Christopher Nolan refuses to issue a director’s cut of any movie he makes, believing instead that the version we all saw on opening day is the film, now and forevermore. On the other end of the spectrum – and I do mean the spectrum – we have the late Jerry Lewis, who not only recut his films after distribution so he could watch them at home in their “ideal form,” but obtained prints of other directors’ movies for exactly the same purpose. I’m not kidding; he claimed to have done it hundreds of times. Picture Lewis, happily ensconced in his private screening room, convinced that “his” films The 399 Blows and 201: A Space Odyssey are just so much better. It’s like, the most Jerry Lewis image ever. Which brings me to the topic of this weekend’s rerelease of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Studio promo maintains that audiences will be seeing a sweet 4K remaster of the film’s director’s cut. The only problem: There’s no such thing as a CE3K “director’s cut,” at least by name. There’s the original theatrical version, released in late 1977. There’s the 1980 “Special Edition,” which was sold as a kind of director’s cut but actually included changes foisted upon Steven Spielberg by the studio – including some climactic footage of the inside of the mothership, which Spielberg himself recognized should never have been depicted. And there’s the 1998 “Collector’s Edition,” which omits that mothership footage but retains some other alterations made in the Special Edition. You may now pick up your pencils and begin to take the test.

So who knows which version we are actually getting this week, all spruced up and bright for the high-definition generation? My guess is the Collector’s Edition, since that’s known as Spielberg’s preferred cut. And one would like to think that, at this stage, he would kind of have some say in what get sent to theaters. But I’m not placing any bets. Personally, I’ve never seen any version but the 1977 original, and I’ve never felt the need to. I guess I was just on the Christopher Nolan bandwagon before there was such a thing. And there I will remain – at least until the last holdout changes his mind and we see ads for Ain’t Done With Dunkirk. (PG) alSo Playing: Birth of the Dragon Fans and family of the late

Bruce Lee have given the thumbs down to this wannabe biopic, which they say mischaracterizes the legendary martial artist’s work and makes him play second fiddle as a character to a white buddy invented entirely for the film. Damn, at least the Green Hornet was a real guy. (PG-13) Ingrid Goes West Aubrey Plaza plays a mentally unbalanced young woman who becomes fixated on social media acquaintances who have no genuine presence in her life. Weird, huh? And now we’re all just gonna back into these bushes like Homer Simpson. (R) Terminator 2: Judgment Day 3D AMC Theatres

are the only places you’ll see this rerelease of the James Cameron classic, now restored and converted to 4K 3D. I understand that, before his death, Jerry Lewis had it down to 30 minutes. (R) orlandoweekly.com

Solid voting on the Best of

Orlando music categories, guys. Popular tastes don’t always align with critical ones, so the fact that they did so much this year speaks to the irrefutable quality of the current class of native music. But a bit of regrettable news to start with this week: Spacebar is officially dead. Scene heads have known that it’s been iced as a venue for a while now, but owner Tommy Mot conclusively announced its end on Facebook late last week. The space will, however, continue as Phas3, a shop for local clothing brands. Cry not for Mot, though; the longtime local culturemaker has some other, potentially bigger, stuff cooking. Stay tuned.

JADE JACKSON, HOUSE OF BLUES, AUG. 25

Right there in the small print of the touring bill of venerated SoCal punks Social Distortion is a possible rising star. Mike Ness protégé Jade Jackson is on her first national tour and she’s validating the hope of her excellent debut album on Anti Records, this year’s Gilded. A feminine idealization of what Ness has fashioned himself into over the years, this young artist, too, is a tough-andtender American roots revivalist. She’s a California girl but definitely not the blonde beach bunny cliché. Instead, Jackson is a black-clad, boot-kicking pistol. Like a more overtly country Kathleen Edwards, she’s a force of twang and elegance. Live, that power was even more up-front with her worldchallenging stance and rock band setup. While her Ness-produced album

Jade Jackson is a trinity – classic sounds, youthful radiance and legit guts – who belongs in the vanguard of today’s bright young Americana class. is a rich and sonorous affair, lush with glorious steel guitar, her stage show is a leaner, sinewed ride. But either way, Jade Jackson is a trinity of classic sounds, youthful radiance and legit guts who belongs in the vanguard of today’s bright young Americana class alongside leading lights like Nikki Lane and Lydia Loveless. Having a figure like Mike Ness – who’s invested enough in Jackson to come out onstage himself to reinforce her thanks to the crowd for their reception – as your collaborator, champion and mentor is one hell of an auspicious start, to be sure. But the promise resides wholly in her. And so far, her dawn is bright and her horizon looks unbound.

HOWLING MIDNIGHT, THE LUDES AND BUBBLE BOYS, WILL’S PUB, AUG. 25

Howling Midnight – the city’s best, most commanding two-piece band right now – just celebrated the release of their new album, 10X15. One of the best local releases this year, it’s a meaty slab of lean blues-rock muscle, with garage-cranked power that’s head-on, unequivocal and pure. More indebted to bands like Queens

of the Stone Age than the White Stripes, this bludgeoning guitar-and-drums duo is a heavy machine thick in riff and groove. And just so you know what kind of stuff we’re talking about here, this new record packs a nice MC5 cover on it. Hard Orlando rockers the Ludes have been keeping it fresh lately by performing entire tribute sets like they did for X when opening for Shonen Knife back in May. For this one, they did a sort of tribute to themselves – or at least frontman Jeff Nolan – by performing as I Love You, the ’90s band that Nolan was in that actually landed on Geffen Records despite being somewhat buried by history. Though classic-leaning, the band was cut from a heavy rock cloth that should’ve fared better in the grunge era than it did. Regardless, this exclusive performance was a deep-diving trip down a now-obscure but notable rabbit hole of Orlando music history. Very much now, however, are Bubble Boys, a new local garage-punk band whose profile has been conspicuously rising of late. They threw sparks almost as soon as they first emerged on the scene but, as a young band, looseness would sometimes dog them. Recently, though, they’ve been showing enough live improvement to now leave only the heat of big promise. What distinguishes them is that they’re a punk band that can really rock & roll, generously streaking their hot sound with ’60 tear and ’70s flair. Most critically, they’re one of those bands that’s got that thing, and it’s the kind of flare that could be bright enough to attract some outside notice. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

MUSIC

billy Manes was many things: a journalist, an activist, an amazing husband and friend. but most of all, billy Manes was the life of the party, every party. this week, we get to pay tribute to the man – who passed away on July 21 – the best way we can: by dancing our asses off to the sounds of the new Wave. the music of the ’80s was Manes’ personal soundtrack, as anyone who ever mentioned duran duran around him learned quickly. and tonight, dJ smilin’ dan, one of the area’s best curators of retro anthems and should-havebeen-anthems, plays tribute to Manes’ favorite bands, ensuring a night of dancefloor excess straight out of the Me decade. all proceeds benefit two of billy Manes’ favorite local nonprofits: organize florida, which works to strengthen communities and get their voices heard in government, and Planned Parenthood of southwest and central florida, dedicated to providing reproductive services and education to members of the community. lift up your hands. – Thaddeus McCollum

With apologies to bryson tiller – who cemented his live bona fides since a heat-seeking performance at the 2016 bet awards – we’re more excited about the opening acts for his set it off arena tour. tiller has enlisted two young, cutting-edge sonic forces as openers. first: supernova-hot producer Metro boomin. you’ve heard his work on productions for drake and kanye West, but he’s venturing out of the studio on the heels of collaborations with nav and Gucci Mane, and word is that he brings the same innovative focus that he brings to bear in his studio work to live performances. new r&b singer h.e.r., meanwhile, is that rarest of phenomena in the pop world – an enigma. only seen in shadow and silhouette, and only known by her acronym (having everything revealed), she contrasts visual obscurity with total emotional rawness on her thrilling Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 albums. anticipation is high for this first round of extensive live work from both openers. summer’s going out with a bang. – Matthew Moyer

Epcot International Food & Wine Festival EVENTS

this year’s epcot international food & Wine festival coincides with the 35th anniversary of epcot itself – which, for all you food freaks out there, means more festival days (a record 75) and more wee food to ingest. this year’s festival offers 35 kiosks with cuisine and beverages from countries across the globe. india, spain and thailand return to the global marketplace, along with some new ones – active eats (a nebulous assemblage of “action-packed offerings”), the almond orchard (desserts and beverages made with blue diamond almond breeze almond milk), coastal eats (seafood), flavors from fire (spicy fare) and light lab (bubbly drafts and spirited concoctions). but fear not, favorite dishes from previous years will be returning – meaning yes, there will be cheddar cheese soup at the canada kiosk. – Faiyaz Kara through nov. 13 | epcot World showcase, 200 epcot center drive, lake buena Vista | disneyworld.disney. go.com | admission free with park entrance; various food prices

Pulp Music Festival MUSIC

apologies to Jarvis cocker, but this labor day weekend event at Will’s Pub has nothing to do with the band that put out the greatest single album of the britpop era, Different Class (also the greatest single album about cocker’s penis, and the fact that there’s competition for that title tells you all you need to know about cocker). What it is instead is a one-day festival that showcases some of the best young bands from several florida cities. tanner Jones, frontman of local emo revivalist troupe you blew it!, reps the locals most prominently, but make sure to check out visitors from across the peninsula like the aptly named northbound from boca, rocking licks from tampa’s the blonde tongues, or the secondbase overthinking of Gainesville’s sports reference. screamo-emo is the unifying theme, but if we’re honest, with more than 30 acts playing, we’re hoping for at least 30 covers of “disco 2000.” let’s all meet up; won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown? – TM 2 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 n. Mills ave. | willspub.org | $12-$15

On the Road: A 60th Anniversary Celebration

Tuesday, Sept. 5

Patrick Martinez Artist Talk

LITERARY

ART

californian artist Patrick Martinez repurposes the detritus of everyday american life – supermarketstyle birthday cakes, Pee chee folders, inexpensive neon store signage – into ambitious and affecting art pieces about the devastating effects of institutionalized racism on communities of color. his first solo show, American Memorial, is at the cornell fine arts Museum through sept. 10, and the museum hosts the artist himself for a talk on tuesday. discussing “25 and still alive,” his series of cake sculptures, Martinez says, “the people i paint on these cakes have been involved in street violence, have had brushes with death and are not supposed to be here. i think the pieces represent a large amount of how our youth is living and dying here in america.” – MM 6 p.m. | cornell fine arts Museum, rollins college, 1000 holt ave. | 407-646-2526 | cfam.rollins.edu | free

at a certain age, it is very, very important to make Jack kerouac your literary boyfriend. he’s the rebellious nonconformist who opens your eyes to a whole new way of looking at prose when everyone else has been feeding you the patriarchal line about hemingway’s economy of language. he’s fun. he gets drunk. he talks a lot. he listens to jazz. he’s everyone’s first cool date. and he eventually reminds his dates that boys and girls in america have such a sad time together. While you may be aware that kerouac lived in his aunt’s house in college Park for a while (and wrote The Dharma Bums there), you may not know that he was living there when his breakout, On the Road, was published in 1957 after years of revision. “the drunken odyssey”’s John king hosts this celebration of the novel’s 60th anniversary, featuring live readings of passages from the book accompanied by cake and jazz. and while the publication of On the Road may have precipitated kerouac’s slide into disillusionment with success and alcoholism, there’s no reason we shouldn’t celebrate with cake. careful what you wish for, kids. – TM 7-10 p.m. | kerouac house, 1418 clouser ave. | kerouacproject.org | $10 suggested donation

pHOtO BY gReg WILLIAMs

Ed Sheeran MuSIC

OK, OK, we get it. You don’t like ed sheeran. Whether you’re still mad at him for donning Lannister crimson for his cameo in Game of Thrones earlier this season – a cameo that was planned out as a surprise for sheeran fan Maisie Williams, mind you – or you’re just a low, scum-sucking anti-gingerist, your haterade has been noted. sheeran seems to be the least popular guy ever to have three consecutive platinum albums. And for a guy to accomplish that in a beats-and-feuds-driven pop landscape while his whole thing is writing sensitive, sad-boy songs on an acoustic guitar deserves maybe a little respect, we think. plus, that video where sheeran gets drunk with his cat is still pretty funny, and maybe more than a little relatable. Minus the cat, of course. – Thaddeus McCollum with James Blunt | 7:30 p.m. | Amway Center, 400 W. Church st. | 407-440-7900 amwaycenter.com | $36.50-$86.50

B Y D A N S AVA G E

My brother just broke up with his girlfriend for the second time in eight months. They had been together for two and a half years, and she became pretty discontent when she finished college and my brother entered law school because all his time and attention weren’t revolving around her. In January, she staged this bizarre, soap-opera-esque situation to make my brother jealous, and then broke up with him when he reacted predictably. (This is not speculation – she admitted to it.) After the breakup, my brother became a mess of a person – sobbing all the time and talking about her to anyone and everyone. At the risk of sounding insensitive, he was unbearable. Then, against the advice of my family, he started talking to her again and they got back together. The second breakup came after he snooped and found out she had been texting her ex-boyfriend. They broke up again, and he’s now back in the same situation. He started back at school yesterday. He almost fucked that up last time because of her bullshit, and I don’t want to see that happen again. Additionally, I feel bad this happened – I really do – but I don’t have the time or patience to have the same conversation with him a million times. It’s exhausting and annoying. Now Over Brother’s Relationship Obsession Your brother is an adult. (I mean, presumably he’s an adult – they’re not letting minors into law school these days, are they?) And since he’s an adult, NOBRO, you can’t stop him from making terrible choices or the same terrible choice over and over again. But here’s the good news, NOBRO: You’re an adult, too! And just as you can’t force your brother to stay away from this toxic POS, your brother can’t force you to converse with him all day long about politics or his POS ex or Game of Thrones turning into Star Trek. (Suddenly, only characters we don’t care about die on GoT. I half expect to see red shirts on the extras in Season 8.) And if your brother makes the mistake of getting back together with this woman a second time, your adult ears don’t have to listen to his adult ass complain endlessly about the by-now-predictable consequences of his terrible choices. If you’re feeling anxious about conversations you fear being dragged into, NOBRO, let your brother know you’re done listening to him sob about his ex. “It was idiotic to take her back the first time,” you could say. “But, hey, we all do idiotic things from time to time, particularly where our love lives are concerned. You would have to be an idiot, however, to take her back a second time. Personally, bro, I don’t think you should waste another second of your life pining for

that manipulative piece of shit. I’m definitely not wasting another minute of my life discussing her with you.” My ex-boyfriend and I were together for a year and a half. He is a silver fox who is significantly older than me. I was 23 when we met, and he was 58. It was supposed to be a fling, but it evolved into a beautiful romance. But after much consideration, we ended it three months ago. It was heartbreaking, but we made a conscious decision to be close friends and talk every day. Out of the blue last week, he asked me if I had a boyfriend. I don’t, but I was coincidentally about to go on my first date since the breakup. He proceeded to tell me he “kinda” has a new girlfriend, a woman closer to his age. This was not something I wanted to hear, which he could tell from the silence that met this disclosure. This conversation ruined my weekend. I have been unable to eat or sleep. The guy I went on a date with was sexy – not a love connection, but a bangtown prospect – but I was too emotionally fucked to do anything with him. Do I explain these thoughts to my ex? Let time do the healing? Why did my ex feel the need to tell me about his new girlfriend? Heartbroken Over New Ex’s Yummy Your ex told you about his new girlfriend because you two are close friends, right? And close friends typically confide in each other about their love lives, don’t they? And that’s what you wanted, isn’t it? It’s always inspiring when two people manage to salvage a friendship after their romantic relationship ends. But it’s not possible to go in an instant from lovers to besties who talk on the phone every day. You got your heart broken, HONEY, and only time can cauterize that particular wound. Your reaction to the news that your ex has a new girlfriend proves your post-breakup friendship wasn’t a “conscious decision” but an ill-advised rush. And while the physical aspect of your relationship with Mr. Silver Fox ended three months ago, you never got out of each other’s pants emotionally. (A bruised ego might also be contributing to your inability to eat or sleep – he got over you faster than you got over him.) I don’t think you should explain anything to your ex right now, because I don’t think you should talk to your ex for the next six months or so. You need to get on with your life – and getting on that new guy is a good place to start. I’m a 26-year-old heterosexual woman, and I was recently dumped by my boyfriend. He was my first love and the person I lost my virginity to. We’d been seeing each other for a little over a year. I had sex

“HARD TO DO”

with someone else while I was seeing my ex (it was a more casual relationship in the beginning). I wanted more, and I’m not 100 percent sure but think that’s what scared him off. I went into a depression and started seeing a therapist. This all happened a little more than a month ago. Friends tell me that the “best way to get over someone is to get under someone else,” but I’m not sure what to do. I’m pretty sure I’m doing the thing I shouldn’t be doing: holding out hope my ex will decide he made a horrible decision and want to be with me again. I know it is idiotic to have this hope. Can you give me some direction? Don’t Underestimate My Pain This may not be helpful in the short term, DUMP, but it’s not idiotic to hold out hope your ex will take you back. It could happen – indeed, it has happened for lots of folks. I have two friends who are married to men who dumped them, regretted it and begged to be taken back. The trick, however, is to assume it won’t happen and make a conscious effort to get on with your life. (And, if necessary, a conscious effort to get under someone else.) Your boyfriend/first love/first fuck dumped you a little more than a month ago – you’re allowed, one month and change later, to live in hope of a reconciliation. Odds are good, though, that it’s a false hope, DUMP, so don’t pass on any solid offers and keep seeing that therapist.

Marketplace The Art of Hand-Washing –

Keeping children healthy is a main priority of child care providers. Washing hands regularly has been shown to prevent the spread of germs and viruses that cause illnesses such as flu viruses, Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis), and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Thorough hand washing has been shown to remove as much as 95 percent of these harmful, virus-containing particles and bacteria that can be found on our skin. This is especially important in an environment full of young children, as they tend to explore and touch bacteria ridden objects frequently. Some experts believe that hands should be washed vigorously for about 15 to 20 seconds in order for it to be effective at killing bacteria. The seemingly simple task of washing hands can be an issue when dealing with children. Unfortunately, many children neglect to wash their hands for the recommended amount of time because they either see it as a chore, or simply underestimate the amount of time that it should take. To help combat this problem, incorporating songs in their hand washing routine can help significantly. Singing songs while washing hands make children feel like they are participating in a fun activity rather than a chore. By incorporating songs and encouraging frequent hand washing, child care providers can drastically reduce the spread of illness and keep the children that they are caring for healthy. As children get older they will continue to practice these healthy habits, which will continue to aid in the prevention of the spread of viruses.
