¶ No more denying climate-fueled extreme weather is on the rise We can no longer ignore what we’re seeing. Nearly a third of all Americans are feeling the impacts of the climate crisis in real time — from historic droughts and wildfires to hurricanes and flooding. Florida alone has experienced 22 extreme weather events from 2010-2020, costing us up to $100 billion in damages. If we want a chance at reversing this, we must take bold action and invest in a more resilient, clean future. The time for debating is over: Major climate investment in the Build Back Better agenda puts us on the clearest path to cutting pollution in half by 2030, which experts agree will help us avoid the worst impacts of climate change. As the Senate considers these significant investments for our environment in the coming weeks, Florida’s leaders shouldn’t hesitate to vote yes. It’s good for jobs, it’s better for our health, and it’s what our communities need to modernize infrastructure and improve resilience to increasing disasters. As we’ve already seen for generations, the result of climate inaction will cost us more in the long run. We have a historic opportunity right in front of us to make smarter investments in our future; delaying is no longer an option. — Johanna Packer, Orlando

¶ It’s time to pass PODA, the Protecting Our Democracy Act It’s no secret that Congress is polarized. Rarely does an issue receive strong bipartisan support. That’s why it’s so striking that 4 out of 5 voters agree that we must do more to safeguard our democracy from presidential corruption. No president, regardless of party, should be able to exploit weaknesses in our political system for their personal gain. That’s where the Protecting Our Democracy Act comes in. If passed, it would prevent future abuse of presidential power and corruption, increase transparency, and ensure presidents of either party can be held accountable. If the average person used their office for personal gain, they’d go to jail. If the average person could pardon themselves, there would be no rule of law. Therefore, no president should be above the law. It’s just common sense. I’m urging Congress to pass the Protecting Our Democracy Act. It’s time we put safeguards in place to prevent a corrupt president of any party from abusing the power of their office. — Mayra Cruz Rivera, Hunters Creek

When Congress passed the STOCK Act in 2012, the law was supposed to stop congressional insider trading, improve transparency, and increase public trust in the legislative branch. But it didn’t go far enough. Recently, the news outlet Insider identified that many members of Congress have failed to properly report their stock trades, making it impossible to fully enforce the STOCK Act. We must go further and stop sitting members of Congress from buying and selling stocks altogether. That’s the best way to make sure that our elected representatives are responsive to our needs and not thinking about how a particular policy might affect their stock portfolio. Thankfully, there are several proposals before Congress to address this problem. I urge our leaders in Congress to come together and pass legislation for the good of the American people. — Aimee Owen, Union Park

COVID still trending up, Orlando gets drone drops, DeSantis cracks down on pop-ups and other news you may have missed last week. »

COVID-19 hospital numbers jump

Two Floridians make this year’s Time 100 list

New law targets ‘pop-up’ events

NOAA predicts above-average hurricane season with as many as six major hurricanes

Continuing an upward trend, the number of Florida hospital inpatients with COVID-19 has increased nearly 17 percent, according to data released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The data showed 2,352 inpatients with COVID-19, up from 2,018 in the previous count. Also, the data showed 212 COVID-19 patients in intensivecare units, up from 158 on the previous Monday. Numbers of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have steadily increased in recent weeks, as variants of the coronavirus have developed and spread. The numbers, however, remain significantly lower than early in the year, when the highly contagious Omicron variant swept across the state. Time magazine’s new 100 “most influential people” list touches both ends of the political spectrum in Florida, including both Gov. Ron DeSantis and Equality Florida Executive Director Nadine Smith. Author Kristen Arnett wrote that “in the fight for equality in Florida, there has perhaps been no greater advocate for LGBTQ people” than Smith. “Smith comes from a family with a strong civil rights background and has consistently chosen to defend those who are the most vulnerable in our state and across the country,” Arnett, an Orlando native, wrote. “She is a Black, queer woman who has regularly spoken out about discrimination and biases against LGBTQ people when others have stayed silent.” Regarding DeSantis, former Gov. Jeb Bush wrote that while the “Beltway crowd may not like his style,” the current governor’s “approach works.” Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday signed a measure that seeks to crack down on unsanctioned “pop-up” events put together through social media. Lawmakers passed the bill (HB 1435) in March, after incidents in places such as Volusia County. As lawmakers considered the bill, House sponsor Tom Leek, R-Ormond Beach, described it as a way to control events that have become “invasions,” shutting down coastal communities. The bill, which drew opposition from the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida, will allow authorities to declare areas as “special event zones” because of unpermitted events anticipated to attract 50 or more people and disrupt traffic. The zones could blanket entire cities. The bill will double fines for noncriminal traffic infractions in the event zones and allow police to impound vehicles for up to 72 hours for criminal and noncriminal traffic violations. The measure also will allow local governments to impose more stringent regulations than what’s in state law about vehicle radios or other soundmaking devices.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts an active hurricane season in 2022. The government agency’s Climate Prediction Center predicts a 65 percent chance of an above-average season, citing La Niña, decreased winds that would interrupt the formation of hurricanes and a strong monsoon season in Western Africa that will lead to stronger tropical waves. Overall, NOAA predicts between 14-21 named storms. Of these storms, they expect six to 10 to become hurricanes. Of these 10 hurricanes, they predict that three to six might become major hurricanes, defined as storms with winds of 111 mph or higher. As recent storms in the Gulf have shown, it can take many years to recover from Category 3 or higher hurricanes and the damage they cause. NOAA urged preparedness in all areas where hurricanes are likely, noting that large storms can span multiple states.

Orlando and Tampa get first crack at Walmart’s plan for drone delivery in Florida Walmart announced that a partnership with DroneUp, a drone service company, will allow qualifying stores to deliver orders by drone in as little as 30 minutes. For a delivery fee of $3.99, over 100,000 Walmart items can be delivered via drone. The company expects to make over 1 million deliveries via drone in a year, according to a press release. Walmart says Florida is among one of six states where this service will be available by the end of the year, with Tampa and Orlando to see first action, according to a report from Axios. Drone orders must be placed between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. and weigh under 10 pounds. After an order is placed, the item(s) will be packaged, loaded into a drone and delivered to the yard of the address that placed the order. Participating stores will host a team of certified pilots to fly the drones. orlandoweekly.com

CORRELATION ISN’T CAUSATION, EXCEPT WHEN IT IS The links between increased abortion restrictions, reduced public health spending and higher rates of maternal mortality are established beyond question BY JEF FREY C. BILLM A N

“A

frican Americans have a higher incidence of maternal mortality,” Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy told Politico on May 19. “So, if you correct our population for race, we’re not as much of an outlier as it’d otherwise appear.” Understandably, that remark quickly met with a tsunami of derision. To critics, Cassidy, a physician, had betrayed the callousness those who want to ban abortion feel toward the women they’re forcing to give birth. And, indeed, there is something discomfiting about a U.S. senator saying that except for Black people — who comprise a third of his state’s population — everything is fine. (Aside from that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?) But we should focus on what Cassidy said next. “Now, I say that not to minimize the issue but to focus the issue as to where it would be. For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality.” For whatever reason. The U.S. has the worst maternal mortality rate of any developed nation. Louisiana has one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the U.S. Pregnancy-associated deaths are four times more common in Louisiana among Black women than among white women. Not coincidentally, Louisiana has some of the strictest antiabortion laws in the country, defining a fetus as a human being from “the moment of fertilization and implantation.” As soon as Roe falls, abortion will be banned. Earlier this month, Louisiana Republicans considered a bill that would make obtaining an abortion a homicide, though that proved a bridge too far even for the Right to Life crowd. Instead, they’ll likely criminalize providing abortions. I say “not coincidentally” because states with more restrictive abortion policies have a 7 percent higher maternal mortality rate than states with less restrictive laws, according to a 2021 study in the American Journal of Public Health. In states like Louisiana that pile on restrictions — gestational age, ultrasounds, parental consent, counseling, waiting periods, restrictions on health insurance funding — total maternal mortality is more than 30 percent higher than in states without them. When states deny women access to abortion, women are more likely to try to terminate their pregnancies through

unsafe, illegal methods, which puts their lives at risk. Abortion restrictions can also force women with chronic conditions — which can be exacerbated by pregnancy — to carry their pregnancies to term, putting their lives and health in danger. “Furthermore,” the authors wrote, “while there is no evidence supporting negative lasting impacts from obtaining an abortion, women forced to remain pregnant are more likely to remain in unhealthy relationships, suffer mental and physical health consequences, live in poverty, and have lower life satisfaction.” The study’s link between abortion restrictions and increased maternal mortality accounts for demographic and socioeconomic factors such as poverty, education and public health spending. But the study points out that, putting abortion aside, those variables explain why not only conservative states tend to have higher rates of maternal deaths, but larger racial disparities, too. “In this study,” the authors wrote, “states with highest numbers of abortion-restricting laws had the worst socioeconomic conditions. Such harmful social context, characterized by high poverty, a lack of health care safety net and paid family leave, systemic racism, and historical disinvestments in comprehensive community-oriented primary care, particularly in communities of color, are root causes of persistent racial inequities in maternal death.” Which brings us back to Cassidy: “For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality.” The reasons — plural — aren’t a mystery. Poverty. Poor access to prenatal care, especially in rural areas. Inadequate public health spending. A study published in 2020 found that “each 10 percent increase in pregnancy-related public health expenditures was associated with a 13.5 percent decline in [maternal mortality] among [Black women] and a 20.0 percent reduction in Blackwhite disparities.” Ultimately, the high level of maternal mortality among Black Louisianans that Cassidy laments is a product of something he and other Republicans say doesn’t exist, and something they

don’t want white children being taught is real: systemic racism. Black Americans “are less likely to receive proper care for diabetes, kidney disease, and various cancers even though they have higher rates of almost every disease,” Dr. Aaron E. Carroll wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association Health Forum. “Black persons in the U.S. face roadblocks in every aspect of health care. … They are less likely to be able to access health care. If they are able to do so, they are less likely to get the care they need to remain healthy.” To drive the point home: “Sickle cell disease affects three times as many people in the U.S. as cystic fibrosis,” Carroll wrote. “Yet cystic fibrosis receives 11 times as much funding per patient from the federal government, and 440 times more funding from foundations.” Sickle-cell disease predominantly affects people of African, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean descent. Cystic fibrosis is common among those with Northern European ancestry. Another example: Black Louisianans are more than twice as likely to die of COVID-19 than their white counterparts, according to the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana — a disparity Sen. Cassidy blamed on obesity. But higher rates of obesity in minority populations are also inextricably linked to systemic racism and a lack of access to health care and healthy food. All of this is woven together — abortion to maternal mortality, maternal mortality to social determinants of health, social determinants of health to systemic racism. Yet the same people who want to ban abortion pretend we can’t know why women of color are more likely to die because of childbirth, and they do this while — through bills barring critical race theory — prohibiting schools from discussing the legacy of slavery and segregation. And when they ban abortion and maternal deaths increase — particularly among women of color — they’ll make a performance about searching for answers to an inexplicable, unforeseeable question that a few minutes on Google could have solved years ago.

Florida Rep. Randy Fine tweets threatening message to President Biden after Texas school shooting ‘Try to take our guns and you’ll learn why the 2nd Amendment was written in the first place’ BY JI M T URNER AND TO M URB AN, NSF

STRAIGHT TIME

Kaylin Hevia enrolled in a drug rehab program in lieu of jail time. Then they kicked her out for being gay BY ER IC TEGHETOFF

n Feb. 21, 2022, Kaylin Hevia was near the 10-month mark of her yearlong, court-ordered treatment in a drug rehab program when managers of the program called her into their office. It was a Monday. The facility managers told her they knew about her relationship with another woman in the program. Hevia denied it at first, but relented when the other woman was brought into the room. Technically, the 29-year-old had broken the rehab facility’s “no touching” rule. But for leadership at the center, her biggest infraction had been lying about kissing another woman. She was kicked out of the program that night and put on a bus to Orlando. Hevia’s now in a Seminole County jail — enrollment in the rehab was a mandatory condition of her probation. The drug treatment program she was in is called Teen Challenge; it’s a Christian rehabilitation organization with more than a thousand centers across the country for both minors and adults. Teen Challenge and its supporters laud the program’s successes in breaking people of their drug addictions. But it’s come under increased scrutiny in recent years as former participants allege harsh treatment in the program. Hevia says her sexual orientation was a topic revisited over and over again during her treatment at the Southeast Florida Women’s Rehab in Davie, a Teen Challenge facility outside Miami. She says the facility’s executive director, Pastor Rick Fernandez, advised her to find help for her sexuality. “Basically, that’s the issue, and drugs are just on the surface,” Hevia told Orlando Weekly in a phone interview. “But that is the root issue.”

After getting kicked out of the program, Hevia appeared in court April 6 for breaking the terms of her probation. At the hearing, administration for the Southeast Florida Women’s Rehab denied that Hevia’s sexual orientation played any role in her dismissal. Judge Melissa Souto agreed, sentencing Hevia to 120 days in jail for violating the program’s notouching rule. “Her reason for discharge was not that she was gay,” Souto said at the hearing. “But in fact she had touched another student on more than one occasion as a repeated violation of the rules.” The state attorney’s office for the 18th judicial district in Seminole County released a statement noting Hevia had signed a plea deal 19 days before she left the Davie facility in which charges against her would be dropped if she completed the drug program. The statement also claimed the narrative that Hevia was dismissed for her sexual orientation was “factually incorrect and we believe misleading.” But in courtroom before the judge’s ruling, Hevia’s attorney, Natasha Ghica, asked Fernandez about his program’s acceptance of gay people. “Your word and my word is different,” Fernandez said. “Because I’m a Christian. Gay means happy. The reality is we work with people with life-controlling problems. It doesn’t matter whether they’re homosexuals, gay, drug addicts, alcoholics, prostitutes.” Fernandez elaborated when pressed on the question again. “We accept them with the understanding that they’re not going to push their agenda — that they’re coming for help. Not to push their agenda, to want to get in a relationship.”

n the wake of last Tuesday’s school shooting in Texas, Democratic lawmakers in Florida called on their Republican colleagues to use time remaining in a special legislative session on property insurance to address firearm-related measures such as imposing universal background checks on gun buyers. House leaders offered prayers as a response to the latest series of mass shootings, while some Republicans maintained opposition to any efforts to restrict access to firearms. Rep. Randy Fine, a Republican from the Palm Bay area of Brevard County, on Wednesday told reporters it was “completely inappropriate” for President Joe Biden to “politicize the situation,” referring to the shooting in Uvalde in which 19 children and two adults died. “We should be focused on those families,” Fine said. “We should be focused on understanding what happened.” Biden Tuesday night called for tougher gun controls and for Americans to stand up to powerful gun lobbyists. “Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen? Where in God’s name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with it and stand up to the lobbies?” Biden remarked. “It’s time to turn this pain into action.” Fine’s response to Biden’s remarks raised eyebrows. “I have news for the embarrassment that claims to be our President — try to take our guns and you’ll learn why the Second Amendment was written in the first place,” Fine tweeted. Rep. Anthony Sabatini, a Howey-in-the-Hills Republican who is running for Congress, used the massacre at an elementary school to continue his push for a “constitutional carry” proposal, which would allow people to carry concealed weapons without first getting a license from the state. “Florida must pass Constitutional Carry now, [number] 1 fastest way to secure our public spaces and institutions. Also, re-open the mental asylums that liberals closed in the 1970s and get these psychos out of society ASAP. Make the Edu-crats secure our schools for once!” Sabatini tweeted.

Noli me tangere: Judge Melissa Souto sentenced Hevia to 120 days for violating a ‘no-touching’ rule COURTESY PHOTO

In response to an interview request, a Teen Challenge spokesperson said neither the organization nor Fernandez have any comment on Hevia’s case. Hevia was arrested in Oviedo for possession of Xanax and driving with a suspended license in February 2021 and ordered into a drug program. When it came to choosing the program, Hevia says she went with the one that would quickly get her out of jail. She says the wait for some programs can be two to four months, during which time she’d have to stay locked up. Teen Challenge was able to accept her within a week. Hevia had been in a Teen Challenge program before, back in 2016 at its Fort Myers facility. She says the Davie rehab where she was heading for her second stint had a reputation for being among the strictest in the state. Other Teen Challenge centers have this reputation, too. Last year, Rachel Aviv wrote an exposé for the New Yorker magazine on the organization, calling it a “shadow penal system for struggling kids.” Aviv’s piece focused on Teen Challenge’s Lakeland Girls Academy. That facility decided to close its doors in March after ongoing scrutiny over the 2020 death of a 17-year-old girl in the program. Under Florida statute, substance abuse facilities associated with religious nonprofits, including Teen Challenge, are exempt from state licensing and oversight for “all services which are solely religious, spiritual, or ecclesiastical in nature.” The Florida Department of Children and Families can, however, investigate when there are allegations of neglect or abuse. The New Yorker article includes accounts from a woman who was told by the Lakeland directors that being gay was a “detestable sin” as well as girls across the country who were sent to the centers because their parents were worried they were gay. “When I get there, and I’m checking in, they asked me to renounce my sexuality,” Hevia told Orlando Weekly of her experience at the Davie center. “I was honest with them several times that I still feel the same way and I wasn’t really willing to, I guess, compromise my beliefs for what they wanted.” Hevia says the managers considered this an act of rebellion and gave her literature on sexuality. She says one of the books was Restoring Sexual Identity: Hope for Women Who Struggle With Same-Sex Attraction by Anne Paulk. The author identifies herself as an ex-lesbian. She was a vocal part of now-defunct Exodus International, an Orlando-based Christian organization that promoted conversion therapy. That practice is based on the idea that a person’s sexual

orientation can be changed through intense, sometimes dangerous, methods. Studies have found it can lead to higher rates of depression, anxiety and even suicide, according to the American Medical Association. In her 2003 book, Paulk argued that sexual orientation is not biological, but the result of other factors such as childhood trauma, including sexual abuse, or “atypical childhood play patterns.” She offers advice if someone suspects their co-worker is a lesbian: “First, remember that homosexuality at its root is not sexual. Instead, it is an ineffective coping mechanism — a false way to love and nurture oneself. … What she needs more than anything is a relationship with Jesus Christ and the nurture that comes from God alone.” The author also writes that changing one’s sexual orientation can be easier than overcoming drug or alcohol addiction. Paulk, at the time she wrote this book, was married to John Paulk, who was also part of the “ex-gay” movement and former board chair of Exodus International. The couple divorced in 2013 and John renounced conversion therapy. He was part of the 2021 Netflix documentary Pray Away, about Exodus International and its 37-year history promoting the practice. (Former Exodus International president Alan Chambers denounced conversion therapy in 2013, apologized for promoting it, and shut down the organization.) Anne Paulk doubled down on praying away the gay, though. She is now executive director of the Restored Hope Network, an Oregon-based organization that still promotes conversion therapy. Hevia said Pastor Fernandez urged her to reconsider her sexual orientation as she left the program. “He asked me, ‘Do you ever want to get married and have kids the right way?’” At her April 6 hearing, Hevia was offered the chance to complete her drug treatment at another facility. She opted instead to finish her jail sentence. At that point, she had already served 30 days. “I felt that accepting probation and being put into another program would hurt me more than help me,” Hevia wrote in an email to Orlando Weekly. Hevia is appealing her case, although it won’t be heard while she’s still in jail. She’s scheduled for release on June 3. Ghica, her attorney, says they’re appealing the decision because the ruling sets a “problematic precedent.” “I just think it’s fair that others are informed of the program and what they require before entering,” Hevia wrote to Orlando Weekly. “I wouldn’t want others to suffer the way I have.”

During Wednesday’s floor session, other House members were more restrained. Rep. Dana Trabulsy, who delivered the opening prayer, said lawmakers are “heartbroken yet again in the wake of another mass shooting.” “Lord, words of outrage are not enough to express our hatred of this evil that was done to children who simply went to school yesterday,” Trabulsy, R-Fort Pierce, said. “Lord, we pray that you guide us to turn ourselves and our hearts and minds to those that are suffering, including our friends here in this chamber, who are replaying the trauma of the past from Parkland and Pulse.” Calling for a moment of silence, House Speaker Chris Sprowls noted that “we’ve witnessed some horrible murders” since the Florida Legislature’s mid-April special session on congressional redistricting. Mass shootings occurred on May 14 at a Tops Market in Buffalo, New York, and at the Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, California, on May 15. “I know that we all see the faces of our own loved ones and the faces that we saw yesterday and unspeakable grief,” Sprowls, R-Palm Harbor, said. “And throughout the course of these other tragedies, our hearts are with these communities as they continue to suffer. We know all too well what it looks like for a community to be suffering, the way that they are suffering.” The Pulse nightclub in Orlando was the scene of a massacre in June 2016 where 49 people were killed and another 53 individuals were wounded. In February 2018, a former student opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, killing 14 students and three faculty members. Following the Parkland shootings, Florida lawmakers quickly enacted a gun-control proposal that raised the minimum age from 18 to 21 to purchase rifles and other long guns. The 2018 measure, signed by former Gov. Rick Scott, also imposed a three-day waiting period for buying long guns, banned so-called bump stocks and established what is known as a “red flag” system, which allows law-enforcement agencies to seize firearms from people who may pose a threat to themselves or others. At the time, lawmakers tabled proposals backed by gun-rights groups, including a measure that would allow people with concealed-weapons licenses to carry guns at churches and other religious institutions that share property with schools. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a similar bill into law last year. The governor, who is running for re-election this year, has said he expects to sign a constitutional carry proposal before he leaves office. Democrats expressed concern about that plan, and pledged to continue to push for gun-related regulations including universal background checks, safe storage laws, ID checks on ammunition purchases, restrictions on large capacity magazines and assault weapons, and expanded “red flag” mental health programs. The Republican-controlled Legislature has failed to advance such proposals in recent years. “We could do all of these things, and not touch a single legally owned firearm by a responsible gun owner. It is time to have that conversation in Florida and for America,” House Minority Leader-designate Fentrice Driskell, D-Tampa, said. news@orlandoweekly.com

Almost five years after Ellen DeGeneres and her aging dinos were yeeted out, EPCOT opens Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, a huge roller coaster themed to Marvel’s ragtag gang of interstellar antiheroes By the time you read this, both

the 2022 Orlando International Fringe Festival and MegaCon, not to mention Memorial Day weekend, will be over. But nothing made a bigger bang last month — or will have a longer-lasting impact — than May 27’s official debut of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, the long-awaited replacement for EPCOT’s old Universe of Energy pavilion. Almost five full years after Ellen DeGeneres and her aging animatronic dinosaurs were yeeted out, the former home to Exxon’s infomercial now houses a huge roller coaster themed to Marvel’s ragtag gang of interstellar antiheroes. Buckle up for the blast to the past, because this is no longer your Uncle Walt’s EPCOT. EPCOT is still amidst a multi-year extreme makeover; if you haven’t visited Walt Disney World’s second theme park in a while, you’ll discover a wealth of construction walls — along with newly renovated shops and restaurants — while making your way past Spaceship Earth into “World Discovery,” the new name for the portion of the former “Future World” where the new ride is located. From the exterior, the old Energy pavilion’s distinctive shape is still recognizable, even repainted and stripped of its signature solar panels, but you can’t miss the full-scale Nova Corps Star Blaster ship (as seen in the first GotG film) parked on a pylon out front. Once in the queue, guests are welcomed to the “Wonders of Xandar,” an educational exhibit with planetarium-style ceiling projections meant to promote cultural exchange between the peaceful Xandarians and the home planet of their hero, Star Lord (aka Peter Quill, as portrayed by Chris Pratt). There’s some vaguely scientific exposition involving the formation of the universe, plus a brief dance party to “Hooked on a Feeling,” before heading into a museum-like display of props, costumes and holographic talking heads. Keep an ear out for Quill’s shout-outs to lost EPCOT attractions like Horizons and Kitchen Kabaret, and look for hidden Mickeys in the model sci-fi city.

Before actually boarding the ride, visitors must be beamed onto a Xandarian spacecraft — a nifty magic trick that was performed better 20 years earlier at Las Vegas’ Star Trek: The Experience — for a pre-flight briefing by Glenn Close (reprising her role as Nova Prime) and Terry Crews (ridiculously random and hilarious). Of course, since this is a modern Disney ride, something must go disastrously wrong. Our leisurely tour quickly turns into an emergency escape attempt when Eson, an angry Celestial, snatches the Cosmic Generator capable of erasing humanity’s history. That’s a lot of setup for a scream machine, but don’t sweat it as you buckle into your four-person escape pod; there won’t be a quiz afterward. After exiting the station, you’ll have a few moments to admire the dazzling light effects and ultra-sharp digital projections before being blasted backward into the 200,000-square-foot “gravity building” built behind the original attraction, which holds the majority of the ride’s 5,577 feet of track. Once your car is off and soaring through the cosmos, it rotates to follow the action on IMAX-sized screens that surround you, and spins as you navigate curves to convincingly simulate zero gravity, all the while blasting one of six songs in your ears. (I got Gloria Estefan’s “Conga.”) There are no teacup-style full rotations, nor any upside-down inversions, but Cosmic Rewind is an absolute blast for a familyfriendly thrill ride. It finally delivers on the rotating coaster concept’s promise, which Universal’s earlier Gringotts ride didn’t fully exploit. Better still, Cosmic Rewind’s Vekomabuilt 20-passenger trains boast big bucket seats with comfortable lap bars that are far more accommodating for larger or disabled

guests than the vehicles Intamin has recently manufactured for Universal. With an innovative ride system, immersive special effects and all the brash humor of the Guardians films, this is the best new addition to EPCOT in ages for adrenaline junkies, and will make it hard to queue for the Magic Kingdom’s aging Space Mountain. Its only major flaw, aside from its tenuous connection to EPCOT’s (now mostly dead) original mission, are obvious spots in the preshow and finale where animatronics probably should have gone. Ironically, this projection-heavy attraction — which owes a debt to Universal’s past screen-filled rides — wouldn’t exist if Universal didn’t control the regional rights to nearly every Marvel IP except for the Guardians characters. As good as this ride is, don’t plan on rushing to rope-drop it anytime soon. In addition to a park ticket and daily reservation, you’ll need to either get a free Boarding Pass using Disney’s app-based Virtual Queue or buy an à la carte Lightning Lane (which will also be snapped up at 7 a.m. by onsite hotel guests) in order to experience Cosmic Rewind. I loved my first flight with the Guardians enough to stand an hour in line for another lap. But after waking up at 7 a.m. many mornings when Virtual Queue was required at Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, only to lose the daily fastest-finger contest, I’ll probably wait until Cosmic Rewind switches to a standard standby queue. With a theoretical throughput well over 2,000 riders per hour — unusually high for a modern Disney E-Ticket — hopefully they’ll be able to ditch the boarding groups sooner rather than later so everyone can get hooked on this feeling. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

A PERFECT TEN TEN

The Cantonese cuisine at West Colonial’s Ten Ten Seafood & Grill keeps it real and authentic BY B AO LE-HUU

en Ten Seafood & Grill — a new full dinner menu — like Ming’s Bistro and Chinese restaurant in West Orlando Peter’s Kitchen, only on a grander scale. And — is not for the casual tourist. They the authenticity comes even before the first don’t care about pandering to gweilo. They bite. Here, English is very much secondary. don’t care about being nouveau. What they do care about, though, is keeping it real and Furthermore, the clientele is almost exclusively Asian. (If you’re looking for a true dive authentic. The second of only two locations (the origi- into ethnic dining, these are good signs.) Once nal is in South Florida), the Orlando Ten I sat down for my first visit, the validation came in one steamed Ten is a promising new tray at a time. Ten Ten’s contender out on the dim sum is the primary Asian frontier of West TEN TEN SEAFOOD & GRILL draw at lunchtime, and Colonial Drive. Despite Golden Sparkling Plaza the restaurant features a name that implies an 5600 W. Colonial Drive full cart service even emphasis on seafood, 407-559-9999 on weekdays. Although Ten Ten Seafood & Grill $$$ not all items on the is really much more extensive dim sum comprehensive than menu are immediately that. Its specialty, in fact, is Cantonese cuisine, done traditionally available at any given time, the roving carts and extensively. While seafood is prominently offer a decent variety of the usual greatest hits featured, Ten Ten is something of an all-pur- like shumai, steamed pork buns, shrimp balls, pose Chinese restaurant featuring dim sum sesame balls, beehive fried taro and the like and siu mei (Chinese barbecue) alongside a — mostly between $3.85 and $4.85 per plate.

tip jar

Dishes we sampled, like the stuffed bean curd skin ($4.85), pan-fried shrimp and chive dumplings ($4.85), and steamed pork spare ribs with black soybeans and jalapeño ($4.85) were all done to solid traditional standard. Not standard were the Shanghai dumplings ($4.85), an option not universally offered at other dim sum places. Though small, the four amuse-bouche–sized soup dumplings packed big punch with flavorfully seasoned pork and a nice hint of broth. Unassuming but delicious, these wonderful bites were perfect with just a dollop of the tableside chili sauce. For dinner service, Ten Ten offers a robust Cantonese-centric menu featuring a whole spectrum of seafood, meats, noodles, soups, barbecue appetizers (though availability can be spotty) and authentic greens like snow pea leaves. Of the fresh seafood options on hand, I chose the clams with black bean sauce ($18.95). The tender littleneck clams were classically prepared: open-shelled and tossed in a royal sauce of fermented black soybeans, whose sublime umami was punctuated with scallions and jalapeño slices. In a day when we’re all trying to eat a little less meat, ma po bean curd ($15.95) can be a marvelously spicy and satisfying option. It’s both comforting and sexy; at least, it’s supposed to be when it’s done right. And the version at Ten Ten is, with a rich and savory brown gravy tying together airy cubes of silken tofu, peas, carrots, ground pork and a bonus accent of preserved mustard stem slices. This generous portion of ma po tofu is probably some of the best in the city. Ten Ten’s dining space is a tall-ceilinged, banquet-style hall that’s a mix of flash (glitzy wall treatments, chandeliers, video wall playing Asian pop music videos) and utility (large round tables with lazy Susans, a barbecue station, fresh seafood tanks). But it’s all geared toward gathering, from families on up to large parties. One thing about the table setting that especially stood out was the pack of sanitary wipes sitting there matter-of-factly. Then I noticed they were on every table. Not elegant, perhaps. But these days? Appreciated. Also worth noting: Every member of the floor staff was masked, without exception. Thankfully, real Asian food is no longer exotic in this city. The dining rooms of legit Asian spots in Mills 50, once the domain of Asian customers, are now reliably multi-culti. Modernist Asian cooking has even caught mainstream fire. And all of that is great. But ungentrified, traditional eateries are vital to keeping that cultural edge anchored and alive. In that spirit, Ten Ten is a worthy new outpost of classic Chinese cuisine, one that’s more reminiscent of deep hotspots in Asianconcentrated cities like Houston than the mixed dining experiences in downtown Orlando. If you know the dim sum halls of big-city Chinatowns and have been missing that here, Ten Ten will take you there.

Ian Carroll SPONSORED CONTENT

F.I.R.S.T. Institute Program Director Creating Life by Design

t an early age, Ian Carroll developed a deep interest in the arts. Ian’s curiosity led him to his current role as F.I.R.S.T. Institute’s Program Director of Graphic Design and Web Development. For over 20 years effective communication has been a part of the way Ian has led his life. Empathy has been the baseline for how Ian interacts with F.I.R.S.T. Institute students and instructors on his team. “For me, teaching is about helping our students find their “why”. At any point in life seeking out your why can be difficult. As an educator, it is my job to help our students become lifelong learners, so they may follow their interests and cultivate purpose,” said Ian. The Graphic Design & Web Development program teaches students the fundamentals of the design industry, including design principles, digital illustration, motion graphics, UX/UI design, and website design. F.I.R.S.T. Institute students will receive hands-on education using up-to-date technology for all types of web and graphic designs. In each course, students will

develop their skills under the mentorship of industry professionals, preparing them for an entry-level position in the design industry. According to Ian, graphic design and web development combine marketing, psychology, communication, and art. “In the graphic design program, we help students understand that the work they create is driving a consumer to think, feel, reason, and make a decision, all from an image. This concept alone is worth admission. We teach our students in 10 months what takes most designers 10 years to grasp. That is why we are different. I encourage any potential designer looking to break into the industry to join F.I.R.S.T., our focus is on practical real-world education,” said Ian. F.I.R.S.T. Institute is a premier Digital Media School headquartered in Orlando, Florida. F.I.R.S.T. offers hands-on experience for students. Their programs include Recording Arts, Filmmaking, and Graphic Design.

AVA MEDITERRAEGEAN Just because the trendy Mediterranean hotspot packs the pretty people in doesn’t mean it lacks substance. The dishes here — from the potato mille-feuille to the bracing dorade tartare to the salt-baked branzino — are incredible.

Brill Building, catchy pop singles like “Little Star,” and quickly evolved into the sophisticated song cycles of The Way. What changed for you? The only connective tissue between them is your angelic and ethereal voice. Robert Callender: Well, I went from writing songs that

were a part of my reality of that time. “Little Star” you mentioned, these were songs I heard in my head. That and I love music, of all kinds. As a young man in the ’60s, a lot of things happened. There was a cycle of things going on, a lot of assassinations, war, things that concerned us all — Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, MLK, people who were about change. It makes you say, “Pardon me?! Why would someone do something like that?” It did much to me spiritually as it did to many others during those times. I was saturated with things like that, and I needed peace. I needed to awaken. I wanted to sing about peace and share the teachings I’d come to learn. Tired of the war, and there’s more to this. I was also trying to make a career and came across a lot of music. How did I go from working with Murray the K and the Brill Building with things like “My Baby Changes With the Weather” to doing Rainbow … how did I come to there?

THERE’S NO OTHER WAY

Even though these works are 50 years old, they aren’t dated at all; especially in the light of what artists like Kamasi Washington and Valerie June are creating today — expansive, rich musical tapestries that weave spiritual wisdom with fresh and futuristic sounds. Do you think your work is a part of the building blocks of Afrofuturism?

Every artist has their motivation. … Creatively, I need the balance to be in conjunction with the great spirit, drawing upon my Native American side, the oneness of it all. The Russians have a name for it, the Africans have their term; as you know, I said already that there’s more to this and that spirit manifests from then to today.

Robert Callender’s lost psychedelic masterpiece ‘The Way’ will be performed in Orlando — and nowhere else BY KYL E EAGLE

“L

ord, am I dreaming?” If we are, don’t wake us. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Robert Callender’s The Way (First Book of Experiences) — an adventurous and heady spiritual psychedelic masterpiece — Callender is coming to Orlando to perform this mythical work live in concert. Only in Orlando. Chances are Callender’s music isn’t on the tip of your tongue, but after you hear it you’ll never forget it. If comparisons were to be made, we would place him among a coterie of fellow soul auteurs rooted in popular music, jazz and R&B who evolved into ambitious composers of highconcept albums steeped in spiritual philosophy and socially conscious messages. We’re referring to those heady days of the 1960s and ’70s — the era of Forever Changes, Bitches Brew, Songs of Experience, Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse and What’s Going On, a voluminous list that Robert Callender and The Way certainly belong on. The Way was created in 1972; the musical standards of the day were about pushing things forward in response to what was happening in the world. It was a period of flux, artistically and socially. Drawing upon world religions, expanding one’s consciousness (and artistic vision), and

taking cues from the headlines was as de rigueur as was using woodwinds and brass bands, even using the recording studio as an instrument itself. Callender was right in step with all of this and then some. The Way has all the bells and whistles (literally, at times) of the period with sitars, strings, choruses, reverb and head-nodding percussion, making this one of the most accomplished works of the period — despite its relative obscurity. What’s special for us here in Central Florida is that Maestro Callender is performing this over two nights, Friday and Saturday, at Timucua. And that’s it. This is not part of a tour. This is a unique moment in time revisited in another unique moment in time. Leading up to the performance, Orlando Weekly wanted to have a dialogue with the artist to talk about the music and the show, as well as how the songs came to be. What unfolded was a lovely conversation with an equally lovely person, evincing a peaceful affability and deep empathy for humankind. The Way is the second album of a trio of albums of progressive soulful psychedelia — preceded by Rainbow, and finally Le Musée de L’Impressionnisme — you released between 1969 to 1972. You went from writing songs in the

On your original recordings, you enlisted stellar talents like Bernard Purdie and Colin Walcott to help realize your vision. Who will you be playing with for these Timucua shows?

The musical director is Brandon Miller [member of Answers, adjunct professor at Eastern Florida State College] along with a string section; the band Golden Flower are included, along with percussionists, tambourine and Ben Tiptonford on sitar. The reality of doing this performance for the first time in the 21st century is … I don’t know who’s going to be there! We are going to stream it, but we are going to play it close to the original. We know those players and they have big shoes to fill, but they’re up to the task, no doubt …

I’m doing it because I feel I’m supposed to do it, and for the people who have admired it all this time. With that sentiment in mind, what an honor it is to have Callender’s timeless songs step out of the shadows of cult status and onto an Orlando stage, live in full sonic splendor, as ephemeral and wondrous as fireworks.

LOCAL RELEASES

Orlando hip-hop legend Swamburger has been gearing up for a big new phase in his long, illustrious career. That all kicks off with Tenfold, his new solo album heavily featuring Chicago artist Scarlet Monk. Releasing everywhere June 1, the 13-track Tenfold represents the next evolution of Swamburger’s sound, pushing his classic hiphop instincts through a wider prism that includes R&B, soul, funk, electronic and house. With lots of snap, slap and boom-bap, the album is the spiciest, most versicolor gumbo he’s produced in years, possibly ever. Vibrant and forward-looking, it’s a very fresh new face for a venerable icon. In addition to Swamburger’s own raps and production, guest production cameos include Solillaquists of Sound bandmate DiVinci, Juan Mejia, Jackal and MF Shalem. Scarlet Monk gets the marquee feature and contributes vocals to nearly half the tracks. This release, however, is only the first extended glimpse of Swamburger’s heavy new involvement with Scarlet, who’s the new Bonnie to his Clyde. That creative union will be fully revealed this summer when they emerge with a full-length debut as collaborative duo Mugs and Pockets. Swam and Scarlet have a list of appearances already lined up to sneak-peek and promote the new joint, all leading up to an album release party at Park Ave CDs (2-5 p.m. Sunday, July 24). After that, the longtime local will join his new running mate and relocate all the way up to the opposite corner of the country to Seattle to go all in on Mugs and Pockets and hopefully push it to the next level. So go get in as much Swamburger as you can. Following up on last autumn’s single “As a Man,” DeLand artist Bryan Raymond now unveils his recently released full album of the

Orlando hip-hop legend Swamburger’s new solo album ‘Tenfold’ — which heavily features Chicago’s Scarlet Monk — represents the next evolution of his sound, pushing his classic hiphop instincts through a wider prism that includes R&B, funk, electronic and house same name. As a Man is a 10-song furtherance of the stark solo voyage he’s been on in recent years. Once a credentialed metal axeman in bands like Junior Bruce and Hope and Suicide, Raymond has walked his own intensely personal trail since coming back from death’s brink in a 2015 motorcycle accident. On the new album, he continues to survey the emotional hinterland with spare, forlorn folk songs steeped in rough soul and worldweary resignation. As a Man now streams everywhere.

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK If you go out, be safe, be cool.

Problem Pack, Super Passive, Hexorcism: This event marks the Falcon’s first real concert since the pandemic, and it’s a good native one featuring the sneering punk rock of Problem Pack, the synth-thick

post-punk of Super Passive and the gothgaze of Hexorcism. Go welcome the beloved Thornton Park art bar back into the live mix. (8 p.m. Friday, June 3, The Falcon, $3 donation) Yngwie Malmsteen: Must 1) love guitars, 2) be allergic to artful restraint and 3) live by the maxim that metal needs more flair. Those are the prerequisites for this show. If you check all three boxes, then you already worship at the altar of this neoclassical shred master. If not, then go back to your dull, gray lives. (7 p.m. Friday, June 3, The Plaza Live, $34.50-$59.50) TWRP, Rich Aucoin: Of course, there’s the music — from TWRP’s smooth 1980s synth rock to Rich Aucoin’s indie-pop grandeur. But this concert will be a true capital-S Show pairing two famously spirited live acts. Toronto’s TWRP bring as much commitment to costume and character to the stage as Peelander-Z. And fellow Canadian Rich Aucoin is known for rousing performances that engage and levitate audiences. (7 p.m. Wednesday, June 8, West End Trading Co., $25-$28) T.S.O.L., 430 Steps, Never Ender, Caustic Bats: From their dizzying stylistic evolution to a crazy saga of infighting that fractured them into multiple camps claiming the name, California legends T.S.O.L. are one of punk’s most twisted tales. But once the original lineup won the legal rights to regroup in 1999, they’ve since gotten back to their punk roots. Support for this show will be Orlando hardcore band 430 Steps, Melbourne pop-punkers Never Ender and the debut of Orlando goth-punk group Caustic Bats.

Freaky Fridays: Nude on the Moon

Mayhem on Mills

We’ve made the claim before, but this edition of the late-night film series might be the strangest one yet. From the mind and lens of sexploitation godhead — and one of the most prolific woman filmmakers ever — comes Nude on the Moon. An unintentionally (though one never knows with Doris Wishman) uproarious romp from 1961 combining tropes from B-grade sci-fi and nudist films into one gonzo celluloid package. What’s the local connection, you ask? “Moon” scenes were filmed at Florida’s most mysterious tourist attraction, Coral Castle. Keep the kids at home for this one.

Orlando punk’n’wrestling fed Mayhem on Mills marks their fourth anniversary with a big return to live in-ring action with Mayhem Turns 4. Headlining the card is a “Wasteland Survival Match” betwixt Leon the Terrible and the Handsome Man of Science. From there, you’ll see action from the likes of Snoop Strikes, Kilynn King, the DMC and Culture Inc. Also set to appear are Hunter Law, Drennen, Beastly and former champ Troy Hollywood. The show features a musical interlude by local surf-rockers the Palmettes, which is a draw all on its own, honestly. 6 p.m., Ten10 Brewing Company, 1010 Virginia Drive, willspub.org, $10-$20.

“QUICKIES” In the mountain climbing community there is a backlash against a route at a particular climbing site that’s named Gangbang. Critics say it refers to a nonconsensual sex act. Your thoughts? Missionary position in the absence of consent is not sex, it’s rape; a gangbang with consent is not rape, it’s sex. That said, most representations of gangbangs in film, porn, literature, etc., portray nonconsensual scenarios with women as the victims, and it’s understandable why some would want the name of that route changed. So, change it. What do you do when you’ve told someone who is supposed to be a friend to stop making sexual comments but they keep saying sexually charged things? You realize this person isn’t a friend and hang out with your actual friends instead. British fag here. (I mean, cis gay guy in his mid-30s in the U.K.) I live in Germany. My question: You had a British caller living in the USA on the Savage Lovecast a few episodes back and he said his accent alone unbuckled belts there. Is it true? German guys do not find my accent sexy. But if I moved to the States would I be drowning in cock? Cock is a solid (ideally), not a liquid (although with a powerful enough blender, anything is possible), so you would be choking on cock over here, not drowning in it. And, yes, a British accent is a plus in the U.S. — because unlike Europeans, Americans don’t have to put up with mobs of English tourists hopping on cheap flights, terrorizing our city centers with their drunken bachelor/ bachelorette parties, and puking on our doorsteps. How do I tell my friends and family that I’m poly now?

I’m a 40-year-old woman. I was sexting with a guy (29) who started sending me nude/sex pics (including face shots) of another woman he had been with, without her consent. He thought it was sexy, but I was repulsed. Teachable moment or trash him? If you ghost him, he’s likely to assume the photos he shared (and the massive consent violation they represent) weren’t the issue or even an issue. He needs to know. So, teach then trash. Can you please explain the difference between transgender and transsexual? A lot of arguments happen online about the semantics of these foundational definitions, so some clarity would be appreciated. Thank you! Definitions and redefinitions come at us so fast these days — to say nothing of redefining old definitions as hate speech — that there’s no point in attempting to answer this question. Because by the time this column is published, odds are good that whatever I write today will be out of date and/or a cancelable offense. But so far as I know right now … all transsexual people are transgender but not all transgender people are transsexual. I hope that clears things up. Do you think we will keep seeing significant changes in sexual-orientation-selflabeling in the future? In the future everyone will have their own niche sexual orientation for 15 minutes — and their own neo-pronoun and their own pride flag. And it’s going to be even more confusing than it is now, and everybody is going to get everybody else’s orientations, pronouns and flags wrong all the time, and

absolutely everybody is going to be upset with absolutely everyone else, all the time. The oceans will rise and the planet will bake and we will be arguing about whether “cake” can be a pronoun as the meteor hurtles toward earth.

killing your libido, a little going-through-themotions with your partner will keep you in the groove and may even help you catch a groove. At what age should I point my teenager to your column and your podcast?

How much of the time do bottoms really douche?

I think 15-16 is a good age to start reading and listening — but if you really want your teenager to read my column and listen to my podcast, don’t point them toward Savage Love and the Savage Lovecast. Forbid them from listening and reading!

“You can douche all of the bottoms some of the time, and some of the bottoms all of the time, but you can’t douche all of the bottoms all of the time.” — Abraham Lincoln

Parenting young children during the pandemic has resulted in not much sexy time in my marriage. How do we get the sexy back? So far exercise and time apart seems to be helping. Any other ideas?

My S.O. is good friends with a number of their exes. I know it’s probably a good sign that they are mature, but it makes me jealous and paranoid. How to get over that? Keep telling yourself that being friends with exes is a good sign about your S.O., and then carry that thought to its logical conclusion: Being jealous and paranoid about your current being friends with his exes is a bad sign about you — not a fatal sign for this relationship, but definitely something you should work through with a shrink.

Exercise and time apart will definitely help. One additional suggestion: time together in a place (a bar, a club, a party) where people routinely flirt with strangers. The point isn’t to go home with someone else or to take someone home together, but to see your spouse through other people’s eyes. Seeing someone who wants to fuck your spouse will remind you of all the reasons why you wanted to fuck your spouse …

JUNE 1-7, 2022 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

Legal, Public Notices IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE NINTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR ORANGE COUNTY, FLORIDA ARTESIAN TITLE, INC., a Florida corporation, CASE NO. 2019-CA-009345-O Plaintiff, vs. CAROLINE VERAGUS and HUSSEIN ELHUSSEINI, Defendants. SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT Plaintiff, ARTESIAN TITLE, INC. (hereinafter “Artesian”), by and through its undersigned counsel, hereby files this Second Amended Complaint against Defendants, CAROLINE VERAGUS (“Veragus”) and HUSSEIN EL HUSSEINI (“Elhusseini”), and as grounds therefore alleges: Jurisdiction and Venue This Court has jurisdiction pursuant to Florida Statute § 26.012. Additionally, the claims requesting monetary damages all exceed the jurisdictional limit of county courts. Venue is proper because Orange County is where Artesian’s principal office is located pursuant to Florida Statute § 607.1431 and all other actions in this Amended Complaint occurred in Orange County. Artesian is a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Florida and is situated in Orange County, Florida. Veragus is a non-resident of the State of Florida, but service of process on and personal jurisdiction over her is authorized by Florida Statute § 48.193(1) because the causes of action alleged in this Amended Complaint arose from her commission of a tortious acts within Orange County, Florida. Elhusseini is a natural person domiciled in Orange County, Florida. General Allegations On or about July 13, 2018, Robert Patterson, a closing agent for Artesian, informed Prithi Daswani, owner and president of Artesian, that Artesian’s escrow account was missing several hundred thousand dollars. On or about July 13, 2018, Ms. Daswani discovered, after auditing the escrow account, that Veragus had completed several unauthorized wire transfers from the escrow account. Veragus was employed by Artesian for roughly three years at the time of the unauthorized wires. At the time of the unauthorized wires, Elhusseini was Veragus’ boyfriend and was the recipient of a direct unauthorized wire transfer by Veragus from the Artesian Title escrow account to an account in bis name. On or about July 14, 2018, Artesian removed Veragus’ access to the escrow account and took the steps to terminate Veragus and lock her out of Artesian’s computer systems. For wire transfer approvals in Artesian’s computer system, and pursuant to its closing procedures, there is a two-person authorization required. Artesian discovered the second person who approved all the transfers with Veragus was Sherwin Davis, who was not in the office on the days the wire transfers were approved. Several of Artesian employees stated they saw Veragus enter Ms. Davis’ office on the days the wire transfers were approved and Mr. Davis was out of the office. Mr. Rick Nayar, husband of Ms. Daswani and co-owner of Artesian, contacted Veragus who had called out sick at the time the wire transfers were discovered to question her regarding the missing money. Veragus claimed to Mr. Nayar that Elhusseini had been doing a real estate transaction through Artesian and that he had wired funds into Artesian’s escrow account to complete the transaction. Veragus further claimed that she transferred the money back into Elhusseini ‘s account and that he intended to wire the funds back into Artesian’s escrow account by July 18, 2018. On or about July 19, 2018, Veragus and Elhusseini, wired back $110,000 of

the missing funds to the escrow account. Mr. Nayar commenced lengthy text message exchanges with both Veragus and Elhusseini regarding the rest of the missing funds. In these exchanges, both Defendants claimed that Elhusseini’ s TD Ameritrade business account had been frozen, therefore he could not wire the funds back to Artesian’s escrow account. Richard Patrick Todd, Jacob H. Rubin, Francisco Balaguer, Nicholas A. Doby- Hammond, and Lazaro Ayala (collectively the “Third Parties”), are known associates ofElhusseini. Indeed, Elhusseini confirmed by communication to Mr. Nayar that he has control over all of the funds transferred out of Artesian’s escrow account by Veragus via unauthorized wire. In total, Veragus generated and fraudulently authorized nine (9) wire transfers from Artesian’s escrow account as follows: May 3, 2018 to Richard Patrick Todd in the amount of$57,075.21 May 8, 2018 to Richard Patrick Todd in the amount of $47,692.37 May 23, 2018 to Jacob H. Rubin in the amount of $45,232.42 May 30, 2018 to Lazaro Ayala in the amount of $87,455.55 June 8, 2018 to Francisco Balaguer in the amount of $34,112.00 June 15, 2018 to Francisco Balaguer in the amount of $40,000.00 June 21, 2018 to Nicholas A. Doby-Hammond in the amount of$114,437.29 June 29, 2018 to Nicholas A. Doby-Hammond in the amount of $32,814.19 July 6, 2018 to Hussein Elhusseini in the amount of $114,995.00 Since $110,000 of this embezzled money has been returned, the total amount stolen and lost from Artesian at this point is approximately $463,744.03 (the “Damages”). Since the amounts comprising the Damages were ultimately owed to other persons, as they were only being held in escrow by Artesian, Artesian has had to pay the Damages through other means. COUNT I-Conversion Against Veragus Artesian restates and re-alleges paragraph nos. 1 through 21. At all times, Artesian was the lawful owner of the funds in the escrow account. Veragus never had permission or authorization from Artesian to make the wire transfers to Defendants. Veragus fraudulently input authorization of another Artesian employee to make fraudulent wire transfers. Veragus therefore abused her employment with Artesian to deprive Artesian of the Damages and wire them to her fellow Defendant, Elhusseini, and the Third Parties, and upon information and belief, to her own control by way of Elhusseini and the Third Parties. Veragus knowingly transferred and received funds that did not rightfully belong to her and continues to hold the Damages in her personal accounts, or by proxy in the accounts of Elhusseini and the Third Parties. Thus, Veragus acted with the intent to permanently deprive Artesian of the funds. Veragus’ actions in wiring the funds without authorization were inconsistent with Artesian’s ownership interest in the funds and amounted to the wrongful deprivation of Artesian’s property. Further, Artesian has demanded the funds be returned and Veragus has refused. Therefore, Veragus’ actions amount to a conversion and are a civil theft, as well. Veragus owes the Damages to Artesian. WHEREFORE, Artesian respectfully requests that this Court find that Veragus has committed a conversion and award Artesian a fmal judgment in the amount of the Damages, Artesian’s reasonable attorney fees and costs, as well as such other relief as this Court deems just and proper. COUNT II - Conversion Against Elhusseini Artesian restates and re-alleges paragraph nos. 1 through 21. At all times, Artesian was the lawful owner of the funds in the escrow

account. Elhusseini received an unauthorized wire transfer, consisting of monies in the possession of and owing to Artesian, on or around July 6, 2018 from Veragus. The amount of the wire transfer that Elhusseini received was $114,995.00. Elhusseini returned $110,000.00 of this amount, failing to return $4,995.00. Elhusseini confirmed his possession of the other amounts sent by Veragus’ unauthorized wire transfers but has failed to return those monies as well. Elhusseini knows that he has no right to possession of the amounts consisting of the Damages. Thus, Elhusseini acted with the intent to permanently deprive Artesian of the funds. Elhusseini’ s actions in wiring the funds without authorization were inconsistent with Artesian’s ownershlp interest in the funds. Artesian has demanded the funds be returned and Elhusseini has refused. Therefore, Elhusseini’s actions amount to a conversion. Elhusseini owes the Damages to Artesian. WHEREFORE, Artesian respectfully requests that thls Court fmd that Elhusseini has committed a conversion and award Artesian a final judgment in the amount of the Damages, Artesian’s reasonable attorney fees and costs, as well as such other relief as thls Court deems just and proper. COUNT ill - Conspiracy to Commit Conversion against Veragus and Elhusseini Artesian restates and re-alleges paragraph nos. 1 through 21, 23 through 32, and 34 through 44. Defendants, Veragus and Elhusseini, entered into an agreement with each other to illegally transfer Artesian funds into their own personal accounts by and through Veragus. In other words, Defendants agreed to commit the conversions alleged in Counts I and II of thls Complaint. Defendant Elhusseini, acted overtly in pursuance of the conspiracy, by knowingly providing account numbers to Veragus for her to illegally transfer Artesian’s funds with the intent to receive Artesian’s illegally transferred funds. Without this communication and cooperation between the Defendants, Veragus would not have known the account numbers in which to transfers the funds too. Veragus agreed to use her access, power, and control given to her as employee of Artesian to wire the funds out of Artesian’s control and into the accounts that Elhusseini identified. Elhusseini agreed with Veragus to use the identified accounts as a mode of transfer to receive and take the funds taken out of Artesian’s control. Elhusseini and Veragus agreed to wrongfully transfer the funds to the Third Parties. After the conversion occurred, Artesian Title demanded the return of the funds from both Veragus and Elhusseini. Both Defendants, Veragus and Elhusseini, agreed to not return the funds taken to Artesian despite the demand from Artesian to do so. Artesian never authorized the transfer of funds out of the escrow account, thus amounting to an unlawful taking of Artesian’s property. As a result of this criminal and civil conspiracy, Artesian has suffered the Damages. WHEREFORE, Artesian respectfully requests that this Court find that each Defendant committed a conspiracy to commit conversion in the amount of the Damages and issue a final judgment that awards the Damages to Artesian along with reasonable fees, costs, and any other relief that this Court deems just and proper. COUNT IV -Breach of Fiduciary Duty against Veragus Artesian restates and re-alleges paragraph nos. 1 through 21. At all relevant times, Veragus was acting in her role as a closing and escrow agent of Artesian. In her role, Veragus was entrusted by Artesian with access to the escrow account to facilitate her work as a closing and escrow agent. Therefore,

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● JUNE 1-7, 2022 ● orlandoweekly.com

Veragus was acting in the capacity of a fiduciary. Veragus was also under a duty as an employee to act in good faith and to avoid acting contrary to the interests of her employer, Artesian. Veragus breached her fiduciary duties when she fraudulently input authorization of another Artesian employee to make the illegal wire transfers to Elhusseini and the Third Parties. Veragus breached her duty of good faith to Artesian and violated her position of trust by engaging in the above unauthorized transfers. Veragus breached her fiduciary duties by acting m her own self-interest by transferring the escrow funds to Elhusseini and the Third Parties for her own personal benefit. Veragus breached her fiduciary duties by conspiring with Elhusseini and the Third Parties to illegally transfer Artesian’s funds into their own personal accounts. As a direct result of Veragus’ conduct, Artesian has been deprived of its rightful ownership of the escrow funds and has suffered the above Damages. WHEREFORE, Artesian respectfully requests that this Court find that Veragus committed a breach of fiduciary duty resulting in the amount of Damages and issue a fmal judgment that awards the Damages to Artesian along with reasonable fees, costs, and any other relief that this Court deems just and proper. COUNT V - Conspiracy to Commit Breach of Fiduciary Duty against Veragus and Elhusseini Artesian restates and re-alleges paragraph nos. 1 through 21, and 57 through 65. Elhusseini had actual knowledge of Veragus’ actions outlined in Count IV constituting a breach of fiduciary duty. Veragus acted in furtherance of the conspiracy by agreeing to fraudulently input another employee’s password to gain access to the funds and by agreeing to transfer the funds to Elhusseini. Elhusseini substantially assisted Veragus in the commission of the breach of fiduciary duty by communicating with Veragus about the transfer of the escrow funds, providing the account numbers to transfer the funds to, and wrongfully retaining the escrow funds. Therefore, Veragus and Elhusseini, acted in furtherance of the breach of fiduciary duty. As a direct result of these actions, Artesian has suffered the above Damages as it bas been deprived of the escrow funds. WHEREFORE, Artesian respectfully requests that this Court find that each Defendant committed a conspiracy to commit breach of fiduciary duty in the amount of the Damages and issue a final judgment that awards the Damages to Artesian along with reasonable fees, costs, and any other relief that this Court deems just and proper. DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL Pursuant to Rule 1.430, Fla. R. Civ. P., Artesian demands trial by jury for all factual issues identified in the complaint that are so triable. DATED this 3rd day of December, 2021. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Christian W. Waugh CHRISTIANW. WAUGH,B.C.S. Florida Bar No. 71093 Board Certified Real Estate Attorney MARY A.
