Readers react to stories from last week’s issue. Last week, we reported that a Florida House panel backed a proposal that would require public high schools to offer elective classes on religion and the Bible, and debated whether the courses would be constitutional and religiously neutral. The bill was sponsored by state Rep. Kimberly Daniels, D-Jacksonville, who describes the Bible as the “best selling book” of all time. @Kathy Robinson If they teach the Bible as literature, they should teach the other holy books. A comparative religion class may have a place in public schools, but not the Bible only. @Ricky Rodriguez Unconstitutional, immoral and un-American. @Matt Pelc People saying it’s an elective are missing the point. The problem is that introducing a Bible class knocks out another elective. Schools can have only so many electives since they can only employ so many teachers. Again, you want Bible time, there’s plenty of private schools.

@Tim Bench Why do legislators keep trying to pass laws they know damn well are unconstitutional? Stop wasting tax money on this crap. Last week, we reported that Democratic U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy has drawn her first 2020 challenger – a University of Central Florida political science major named Armani Salado, who plans to run as a Republican. Salado turns 25 in June 2020. In a statement, the Winter Springs resident says “We don’t need anymore politicians with scandals, baggage, and controversies. We need young bold Statesman [sic] who won’t back down under pressure.” @Lisa Marullo She is a new, fresh face and works to create sound bipartisan bills. Might be hard to unseat her quite yet. @Miguel Alejandro Jimenez He already sounds all politicky. Yo, his last name literally means salty. Perfect counter slogan: “This 2020, don’t be salty, vote Murphy!” @Adelle Wynkoop I don’t know of any “scandals, baggage or controversies” regarding Stephanie Murphy.

Florida Senate passes repeal of ban on smokable medical marijuana, Floridians are cooling on Trump, and other news you may have missed last week. »

Ballot measure raising minimum wage to $15 by 2026 heads to Florida Supreme Court: The political committee Florida for a Fair Wage has submitted 87,528 valid petition signatures to the state as of last Friday, making the proposed amendment eligible for review by the Florida Supreme Court. Backers of proposed constitutional amendments must submit at least 76,632 signatures to trigger Supreme Court reviews of ballot wording, a crucial initial step in the amendment process. The Supreme Court reviews whether proposed amendments would be clear to voters.

Florida lawmakers want to expand renter protections amid affordable housing crisis: State Sen. José Javier Rodríguez and Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith are sponsors of identical measures that aim to reform renters’ rights. The bill would require landlords to notify their tenants of a rent increase 30 days before renewing their lease; if the rent increase is over 5 percent, notification must be given three months in advance. Landlords who don’t return security deposits would be liable for damages in an amount equal to three times the deposit. Application fees would have to be returned when there are no available units. Florida does not limit the amount landlords can charge to just consider a tenant, but under the new bill, they cannot charge “excessive” fees.

Florida Senate passes repeal of ban on smokable medical marijuana: The bill passed the Senate 34-4, with opposition from Sens. Keith Perry, R-Gainesville; Doug Broxson, R-Gulf Breeze; George Gainer, R-Panama City; and Ed Hooper, R-Clearwater. The proposed measure allows patients to purchase up to 2.5 ounces of medical marijuana for smoking every 35 days and bans smoking the prescribed cannabis in public. The bill also lets terminally ill children smoke medical marijuana, as long as they have approval from a second doctor. Florida voters first approved medical marijuana in 2016, but state lawmakers banned smoking it in 2017 upon implementation.

Florida lawmakers want to avoid another recount by fixing election problems: Voters would have more time to “cure” ballot signature discrepancies, county canvassing boards could start counting absentee ballots earlier and election supervisors would have more time to submit recount results, under a sweeping elections proposal approved last week by a Senate committee. The measure would resolve issues that arose last year when problems with statewide recounts occurred. Recounts were held because of narrow margins in the races for governor, U.S. Senate and state Agricultural Commissioner.

Floridians aren’t feeling Trump in 2020, survey finds: A poll conducted by Bendixen & Amandi International, Politico reports, found that 40 percent of registered Sunshine State voters said they support Trump’s re-election in 2020, while 53 percent said they don’t support a second term for the Republican incumbent. The sentiment breaks primarily along party lines: Seventy-two percent of Republicans said they support a second term, and 23 percent said no thanks. Among Democrats, 73 percent of respondents opposed a second term and 14 percent supported one.

SHOCKED, SHOCKED ILLUSTRATION BY CLAY JONES

On Republicans’ insincere condemnations of Ilhan Omar’s so-called hate speech BY J EFFREY C. BI L L M A N

If ever a story was situated perfectly at Benjamins, baby” – which prompted a 424–0 vote last the intersection of 2020 politics and the perpetual outrage machine of cable news, this was it. Naturally, it sucked up all of the media’s oxygen, fueling a fire stoked on allegations of anti-Semitism and doused with gasoline by a racist president desperate to show that the other guys are the real racists. I refer, of course, to the saga surrounding U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minnesota, a Somali immigrant and one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress. Omar is an avowed critic of the Israeli government’s treatment of Palestinians, and an equally avowed critic of the notion that criticizing that government is inherently anti-Semitic. But in doing so – and particularly while focusing on pro-Israeli money in American politics – she’s said illadvised things that echoed anti-Semitic tropes and vile stereotypes, intentionally or not. Most recent was her suggestion that American supporters of Israel are pushing for “allegiance to a foreign country.” If you’re inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt, this dual-loyalty smear could be seen as more thoughtless than insidious when read in context. But most politicians – Republicans and many Democrats – weren’t willing to do that. Omar was at a Q&A on Feb. 27, riffing on why she drew such condemnation for criticizing pro-Israeli groups but not when she bashed the NRA or Big Pharma. This followed widespread denunciations for a tweet in which she said that lawmakers’ support for Israel was “all about the

month for a Republican House resolution condemning anti-Semitism. She didn’t help matters when she later tweeted at a Democratic colleague that she “should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country in Congress.” No sooner had Omar uttered her dual-allegiance remarks than Republicans – who for decades welcomed white supremacist Steve King into their ranks before finally rebuking him – demanded that Democrats denounce her, including Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, who took a Holocaust denier to the State of the Union, and Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas, who falsely accused George Soros of collaborating with the Nazis during World War II. Meanwhile, Rep. Steve Scalise, who once boasted that he was like Ku Klux Klan leader “David Duke without the baggage,” suggested she be denied access to intelligence briefings. It’s possible some of this outrage isn’t entirely in good faith. There were, however, a number of House Dems genuinely unnerved by Omar’s comments, and Democratic leaders wanted to put the mess behind them. So they began crafting a second resolution to condemn antiSemitism. But they were met with a backlash from the young progressives now animating the party’s base, who argued that Omar was being unfairly targeted. The media found a shopworn Dems-in-disarray narrative, and Republicans saw an opportunity to paint their oppo-

nents as unwilling to call out bigotry. As she always does, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi found a way out, a compromise resolution denouncing all “expressions of hateful intolerance” along with white supremacy, anti-Semitism, dual-loyalty slanders and Islamophobia – including bigotry against “African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other people of color, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, the LGBTQ community, immigrants, and others.” It passed 407–23, with Democrats (including Omar) in favor and only Republicans (including Gohmert) opposed. (Steve King voted “present.”) The Democrats moved on to HR 1, a sweeping election-reform and anti-corruption bill designed to make it easier for people to vote and to require dark money groups to be transparent about their campaign spending. (Or, as Senate leader Mitch McConnell calls it, a “power grab.”) Republicans, though, have remained fixated on Ilhan Omar. On Sunday, Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming accused Democrats of “enabling anti-Semitism,” which is quite a thing to say, considering her party has two Jewish members of Congress and Democrats have 34, including quasi-Dem Bernie Sanders, who, incidentally, is a leading candidate for the party’s presidential nomination. As is his wont, President Donald Trump cranked the rhetoric to 11. At a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser Friday night, Trump told donors, “The Democrats hate Jewish people.” The day before, he called Democrats the “antiJewish party.” This is an actual talking point, apparently. Trump isn’t the GOP’s best messenger here, of course. He’s the same man who said the neo-Nazis marching on Charlottesville in 2017 contained “some very fine people,” who told the Jewish Republican Coalition in 2015, “You’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money,” and whose Department of Health and Human Services just granted a waiver allowing South Carolina’s foster care program to discriminate against Jewish (and LGBTQ) families. But, as with all things Trump, intellectual congruity isn’t the point. The point – and what Trump does so well – is an endless barrage of bullshit and distraction, such that it’s impossible to separate the meaningful from the inane, such that Trump’s myriad scandals and screwups can be countered with dismissive whataboutism. When Omar’s comments surfaced, Trump was coming off another godawful week, with the bungled North Korea summit, Michael Cohen’s damning testimony and the looming Senate rebuke of his fake border emergency – so those comments proved useful. The president won’t want to move on. He wants to keep Omar in the news, to make her an avatar of run-amok leftism and a creeping Islamist threat so as to rile and enrage his base, in the same way Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez symbolizes the coming socialist nightmare. This is how he plays the game. It’s dirty pool, sure. But it’s effective.

he cause of government transparency finally broke through to the popular zeitgeist this year. It wasn’t an investigative journalism exposé or a civil rights lawsuit that did it, but a light-hearted sitcom about a Taiwanese American family set in Orlando, Florida, in the late 1990s. In a January episode of ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat, the Huang family’s two youngest children – overachievers Evan and Emery – decide if they sprint on all their homework, they’ll have time to plan their father’s birthday party. “Like the time we knocked out two English papers, a science experiment, and built the White House out of sugar cubes,” Evan said. “It opened up our Sunday for filing Freedom of Information requests.” “They may not have figured out who shot JFK,” Emery added. “But we will.” The eldest child, teenage slacker Eddie, concluded with a sage nod, “You know, once in a while, it’s good to know nerds.” Amen to that. Around the world, nerds of all ages are using laws like the United States’ Freedom of Information Act (and state-level equivalent laws) to pry free secrets and expose the inner workings of

our democracy. Each year, open government advocates celebrate these heroes during Sunshine Week, an annual advocacy campaign on transparency. But the journalists and researchers who rely on these important measures every day can’t help but smirk at the boys’ scripted innocence. Too often, government officials will devise novel and outrageous ways to reject requests for information or otherwise stymie the public’s right to know. Even today – 20 years after the events set in the episode – the White House continues to withhold key documents from the Kennedy assassination files. Since 2015, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (a nonprofit that advocates for free speech, privacy and government transparency in the digital age) has published The Foilies to recognize the bad actors who attempted to thwart the quests for truth of today’s Evans and Emerys. With these tongue-in-cheek awards, we call out attempts to block transparency, retaliation against those who exercise their rights to information, and the most ridiculous examples of incompetence by government officials who handle these public records.

The Clawback Award: The Broward County School Board

The (Harlem) Shaky Grounds for Redaction Award: Federal Communications Commission

After the tragic Parkland shooting, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel went to court to force the Broward County School Board to hand over documents detailing the shooter’s education and disciplinary record. A judge agreed and ordered the release, as long as sensitive information was redacted. But when reporters copied and pasted the file into another document, they found that the content under the redactions was still there and readable. They broke the story of how the school denied the shooter therapeutic services and alternative education accommodations, but then uploaded the school board’s report with working redactions. Rather than simply do better with double-checking their redactions next time, the school board struck back at the newspaper. They petitioned the court to hold the newspaper in contempt and to prevent anyone from reporting on the legally obtained information. Although the local judge didn’t issue a fine, she lambasted the paper and threatened to dictate exactly what the paper could report about the case in the future (which is itself an unconstitutional prior restraint). orlandoweekly.com

Sunshine laws? Tech giants think they can just blot those out with secretive contracts. But two nonprofit groups – Working Partnerships and the First Amendment Coalition – are fighting this practice in California by suing the city of San Jose over an agreement with Google that prevents city officials from sharing the public impacts of development deals, circumventing the California Public Records Act. Google’s proposed San Jose campus is poised to have a major effect on the city’s infrastructure, Bloomberg reported. Yet, according to the organization’s lawsuit, records analyzing issues of public importance such as traffic impacts and environmental compliance were among the sorts of discussions Google demanded be made private under their non-disclosure agreements. And it’s not just Google using these tactics. An agreement between Amazon and Virginia includes a provision that the state will give the corporate giant – which is placing a major campus in the state – a heads-up when anyone files a public records request asking for information about them. The Columbia Journalism Review reported Facebook has also used this increasingly common strategy for companies to keep cities quiet and the public in the dark about major construction projects.

After repealing the Open Internet Order and ending net neutrality, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai doubled down on his efforts to ruin online culture. He released a cringeinducing YouTube video titled “7 Things You Can Still Do on the Internet After Net Neutrality” that featured his own rendition of the infamous “Harlem Shake” meme. (For the uninitiated, the meme is characterized by one person subtly dancing in a room of people to Baauer’s track “Harlem Shake.” Then the bass drops and the crowd goes nuts, often with many people in costumes.) Muckrock editor JPat Brown filed a Freedom of Information Act request for emails related to the video, but the FCC rejected the request, claiming the communications were protected “deliberative” records. Brown appealed the decision, and the FCC responded by releasing all the email headers, while redacting the contents, claiming that anything more would cause “foreseeable harm.” Brown did not relent, and a year later the FCC capitulated and released the unredacted emails.

“So, what did these emails contain that was so potentially damaging that it was worth risking a potential FOIA lawsuit over?” Brown writes. “Pai was curious when it was going live, and the FCC wanted to maintain a veto power over the video if they didn’t like it.” The most ridiculous redaction of all was a tiny black box in an email from the FCC media director. Once removed, all that was revealed was a single word: “OK.”

The Unnecessary Box Set Award: Central Intelligence Agency

After suing the CIA to get access to information about Trump’s classified briefings, Kel McClanahan of National Security Counselors was expecting the agency to send over eight agreed-upon documents. What he was not expecting was for the files – each between three and nine pages each – to be spread out across six separate CD-ROMs, each burned within minutes of each other, making for perhaps the most unnecessary box set in the history of the compact disc. What makes this “extra silly,” McClanahan said, is that the CIA has previously complained about how burdensome and costly fulfilling requests can be. Yet the CIA could have easily combined several requests onto the same disc and saved themselves some time and resources. After all, a standard CD-ROM can hold 700 MB, and all of the files took only 304 KB of space.

The Unreliable Narrator Award: President Donald Trump, the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. District Court Judges

When President Trump tweets attacks about the intelligence community, transparency groups and journalists often file FOIA requests (and subsequently lawsuits) seeking the documents that underpin his claims. The question that often comes up: Do Trump’s smartphone rants break the seal of secrecy on confidential programs? The answer seems to be no. Multiple judges have sided with Justice Department lawyers, concluding that his Twitter disclosures do not mean that the government has to confirm or deny whether records about those activities exist. In a FOIA case seeking documents that would show whether Trump is under investigation, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said that the President’s tweets to that effect are “speculation.” Similarly, in a FOIA suit to get more information about the widely publicized dossier of potential ties between Trump and Russia, U.S. District Judge Amir Mehta said that the President’s statements are political rather

than “assertions of pure fact.” And so, whether Trump actually knows what he’s talking about remains an open question.

The Cross-Contamination Award: Stanford Law Professor Daniel Ho

One of the benefits of public records laws is they allow almost anyone – regardless of legal acumen – to force government agencies to be more transparent, usually without having to file a lawsuit. But in Washington State, filing a public records request can put the requester at legal risk of being named in a lawsuit should someone else not want the records to be made public. This is what happened to Sarah Schacht, a Seattle-based open government advocate and consultant. For years Schacht has used public records to advocate for better food safety rules in King County, an effort that led to the adoption of food safety placards found in restaurants in the region. After Schacht filed another round of requests with the county health department, she received a legal threat in November 2018 from Stanford Law School professor Daniel Ho’s attorney threatening to sue her unless she abandoned her request. Apparently, Ho has been working with the health department to study the new food safety and placard regulations. He had written draft studies that he shared with the health department, making them public records. Ho’s threat amounted to an effort to intimidate Schacht from receiving public records, probably because he had not formally published his studies first. Regardless of motive, the threat was an awful look. But even when faced with the threat, Schacht refused to abandon her request. Fortunately, the lawsuit never materialized, and Schacht was able to receive the records. Although Ho’s threats made him look like a bully, the real bad actor in this scenario is Washington State’s public records law. The state’s top court has interpreted the law to require parties seeking to stop agencies from releasing records (sometimes called reverse-FOIA suits) to also sue the original requester along with the government agency.

The Scanner Darkly Award: St. Joseph County Superior Court

ProPublica reporter Jessica Huseman has been digging deep into the child welfare system and what happens when child abuse results in death. While following up on a series of strangulations, she requested a copy of a case file from the St. Joseph County Superior Court in Indiana. Apparently, the clerk on the other end simply took the entire file and ran everything through a scanner. The problem was that the file contained a CD-ROM, and that’s

not how CD-ROMs work. “Well this is the first time this had happened,” Huseman posted to Twitter, along with the blotchy black-and-white image of the top of the disc. “They scanned a CD as part of my FOI and didn’t give me its contents. Cool cool.”

The Cash for Crash Award: Michigan State Police

As tech companies experiment with autonomous vehicles on public roadways, reporters are keeping tabs on how often these cars are involved in collisions. That’s why The Information’s Matt Drange has been filing records requests for the crash data held by state agencies. Some government departments have started claiming that every line of the dataset is its own, individual record and subject to a copy fee. Our winner, the Michigan State Police, proposed to charge Drange a 25-cent fee for each of a 1.9 million-line dataset, plus $20 for a thumbdrive, for a grand total of $485,645.24, with half of it due up front. Runnersup that quoted similar line-by-line charges include the Indiana State Police ($346,000) and the North Carolina Department of Transportation ($82,000). Meanwhile, Florida’s government released its detailed dataset at no charge at all.

The Bartering with Extremists Award: California Highway Patrol

In 2016, the Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP), an infamous neo-Nazi group, staged a demonstration at the California State Capitol. Counter-protesters fiercely opposed the demonstration, and the scene soon descended into chaos, leaving multiple people injured. When the dust settled, a member of the public (disclosure: also a co-author of this piece) filed a California Public Records Act request to obtain a copy of the permit the white nationalist group filed for its rally. The California Highway Patrol rejected the request for this normally available document, claiming it was related to a criminal investigation. Two years later, evidence emerged during criminal proceedings that a CHP detective used the public records request as a bargaining chip in a phone call with the TWP protest leader, who was initially reluctant to provide information. The officer told him how the request might reveal his name. “We don’t have a reason to … uh … deny [the request],” the officer said, according to a transcript of the call. But orlandoweekly.com

●

once the organizer decided to cooperate, the officer responded, “I’m gonna suggest that we hold that or redact your name or something … uh … until this thing gets resolved.” In light of these new facts, the First Amendment Coalition filed a new request for the same document. It too was denied.

The Pre-emptive Shredding Award: Inglewood Police Department

In defiance of the law enforcement lobby, California legislators passed a law (SB 1421) requiring police and sheriffs to disclose officer misconduct records in response to California Public Records Act requests. These documents, often contained in personnel files, had historically been untouchable by members of the public and the press. Almost immediately, police unions across the Golden State began to launch lawsuits to undermine these new transparency measures. But the Inglewood Police Department takes the prize for its efforts to evade scrutiny. Mere weeks before the law took effect on Jan. 1, 2019, the agency began destroying records that were set to become publicly available. “This premise that there was an intent to beat the clock is ridiculous,” Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts Jr. told the LA Times in defending the purge. We imagine Butts would find it equally ridiculous to suggest that the fact he had also been a cop for more than 30 years, including serving in Inglewood and later as police chief of Santa Monica, may have factored into his support for the destruction of records.

The What the Swat? Award: Nova Scotia and Halifax Law Enforcement

One Wednesday morning in April, 15 Halifax police officers raided the home of a teenage boy and his family. “They read us our rights and told us not to talk,” his mother would later tell CBC. “They rifled through everything. They turned over mattresses, they took drawers and emptied out drawers, they went through personal papers, pictures. It was totally devastating and traumatic.” You might well wonder, what was the Jack Bauer-class threat to geopolitical CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

stability? Nothing at all: The Canadian teen had just downloaded a host of public records from openly available URLs on a government website. At the heart of the ordeal was some seriously terrible security practices by Nova Scotia officials. The website created to host the province’s public records was designed in such a way that every request and response had a nearly identical URL and placed no technical restrictions on the public’s ability to access any of the requests. This meant that regular public records requests and individuals’ requests to access government files about them, which included private information, were all stored together and available on the internet for anyone, including Google’s webcrawler, to access. All that was necessary was changing a number identifying the request at the end of the URL. What Nova Scotian officials should have done upon learning about leaks in their own public records websites was apologize to the public, thank the teen who found these gaping holes in their digital security practices, and implement proper restrictions to protect people’s private information. They didn’t do any of that, and instead sought to improperly bring the force of Canada’s criminal hacking law down on the very person who brought the problem to light. The whole episode – which thankfully ended with the government dropping the charges – was a chilling example of how officials will often overreact and blame innocent third parties when trying to cover up for their own failings. This horror show just happened to involve public records. Do better, Canada.

The Outrageous Fee Request of the Year: City of Seattle

When self-described transparency advocate and civic hacker Matt Chapman sent his request to Seattle seeking the email metadata from all city email addresses (from/to/BCC addresses, time, date, etc.), he expected some pushback, because it does sound like an incredible amount of data to wrangle. Seattle’s response: All the data can be yours for a measly $33 million. Officials estimated that it would take 320 years worth of staff time to review the roughly 32 million emails responsive to Chapman’s request. Oh, and they estimated charging an additional $21,600 for storage costs associated with the records. The fee request is the second highest in the history of The Foilies (the Department of Defense won in 2016 for estimating it would take $660 million to produce records on a particular computer forensic tool). Then the city did something entirely

unexpected: It revisited the fee estimate and determined that the first batch of records would cost only $1.25 to process. We get it, math is hard. But wait – that’s not all. After paying for the batches of records with a series of $1.25 checks, Chapman received more than he ever bargained for. Rather than disclosing just the metadata for all 32 million emails, Seattle had given him the first 256 characters of every email. Those snippets included passwords, credit card numbers, and other personally identifying information. What followed was a series of conversations between Chapman, Seattle’s lawyers, and the city’s IT folks to ensure he’d deleted the records and that the city hadn’t just breached its own data via a public records request. Ultimately, Seattle officials in January 2018 began sending the data to Chapman once more, this time without the actual content of email messages. The whole episode doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in Seattle officials’ ability to do basic math, comply with the public records law or protect sensitive information.

The Intern Art Project Award: Vermont Gov. Phil Scott

Seattle isn’t the only city to stumble in response to Matt Chapman’s public records requests for email metadata. The Vermont governor’s office also wins for its scissorand-glue approach to releasing electronic information. Rather than export the email information as a spreadsheet, the Vermont governor’s office told Chapman it had five interns (three of whom were unpaid) working six hours each, literally “cutting and pasting the emails from paper copies.” Next thing Chapman knew, he had a 43-page hodgepodge collage of email headers correlating with one day’s worth of messages. The governor’s attorney told Chapman it would cost $1,200 to process three more days’ worth of emails. Chapman pushed back and provided his own instructions on exporting the data using a computer and not, you know, scissors and glue. Sure enough, he received a 5,500-line spreadsheet a couple weeks later at no charge.

The Least Transparent Employer Award: U.S. Department of Justice

In the last few years, we’ve seen some great resignation letters from public servants, ranging from Defense Secretary James Mattis telling President Trump “It’s not me, it’s you” to former Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ forced resignation. But the Trump DOJ seems to have had enough of the tradition and has now determined that U.S. Attorney resignation letters are private in their entirety and cannot be released under the Freedom of

Information Act. Of course, civil servants should have their private information protected by their employer, but that’s precisely what redactions should be used to protect. Past administrations have released resignation letters that are critical of executive branch leaders. The change in policy raises the question: What are departing U.S. Attorneys now saying that the government wants to hide?

The Wrong Way to Plug a Leak Award: City of Greenfield, California

The Monterey County Weekly unexpectedly found itself in court after the city of Greenfield, California, sued to keep the newspaper from publishing documents about the surprising termination of its city manager. When editor Sara Rubin asked the interim city manager for the complaint the outgoing city manager filed after his termination, she got nothing but crickets. But then, an envelope containing details of a potential city political scandal appeared on the doorstep of one of the paper’s columnists. The weekly reached out to the city for comment and began preparing for its normal Wednesday print deadline. Then, the morning of publication, the paper got a call saying that they were due in court. The city sued to block publication of the documents, to have the documents returned and to have the paper reveal the identity of the leaker. Attorney Kelly Aviles of the First Amendment Coalition gave everyone a fast lesson in the First Amendment, pointing out that the paper had every right to publish. The judge ruled in the paper’s favor, and the city ended up paying all of the Monterey County Weekly’s attorney fees.

If It Looks like a Duck Award: Brigham Young University Police

Brigham Young University’s Police Department is certified by the state,* has the powers of the state, but says that they’re not actually a part of government for purposes of the Utah transparency law. After the Salt Lake Tribune exposed that the university punished survivors of sexual assault for coming forward and reporting, the paper tried to get records of communications between the police department and the school’s federally required sexual assault coordinator. BYU pushed back, saying that the police department is not subject to Utah’s Government Records Access and Management Act because the orlandoweekly.com

police department is privately funded. This actually turns out to be a trickier legal question than you’d expect. Brigham Young University itself isn’t covered by the state law because it is a private school. But the university police force was created by an act of the Utah legislature, and the law covers entities “established by the government to carry out the public’s business.” Investigating crime and arresting people seems like the public’s business. Last summer, a judge ruled that the police department is clearly a state agency, but the issue is now on appeal at the Utah Supreme Court. Sometime this year we should learn if the police are a part of the government or not. *Because BYU police failed to comply with state law, and was not responsive to an internal investigation, the Utah Office of Public Safety notified the department on Feb. 20 that the BYU police department will be stripped of its certification on Sept. 1, 2019. The University police also plan to appeal this decision.

The Insecure Security Check Award: U.S. Postal Service

Congressional elections can turn ugly, but the opponent of newly elected U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger got a boost when the U.S. Postal Service released Spanberger’s entire personnel file, including her security clearance application, without redaction of highly sensitive personal information. When a third party requests a person’s federal employment file without the employee’s permission, the government agency normally releases only a bare-bones record of employment dates, according to a Postal Service spokesperson. But somehow Rep. Spanberger wasn’t afforded these protections, and the Postal Service has potentially made this mistake in a “small number” of other cases this year. Security clearance applications (Form SF-86) are supposed to be analyzed and investigated by the FBI, raising questions about how the FOIA officer got the information in the first place. The Postal Service has apologized for the mistake, which they say is human error, but maybe security clearance applications should be kept just as secure as the state secrets the clearance is meant to protect. The Foilies were compiled by Electronic Frontier Foundation senior investigative researcher Dave Maass, staff attorney Aaron Mackey, Frank Stanton Fellow Camille Fischer and activist Hayley Tsukayama.

Kong.

Aladdin.

Beetlejuice.

Simba. Potter. Right now, Broadway theaters are bursting at the seams with shows starring mythical characters whose singular names should be familiar to Floridians, and whose stories are being brought to life through a combination of high-tech wizardry and old-fashioned stagecraft. Last week, you could have added “Ajijaak” to that list, as a fable from the mind of Heather Henson – another Orlando ex-pat with a legendary name – made its debut on the Great White Way. It’s 90 minutes until showtime at Manhattan’s New Victory Theater, and I’m attempting to interview Henson in the colorful lobby amid crane-themed crafts and a steady stream of well-wishers. I’ve flown up to the snow-blanketed city to attend the closing weekend of Ajijaak on Turtle Island’s limited run in Times Square. It’s been nearly five years since Henson officially moved away from Florida, and even longer since I directed her in a live version of Labyrinth at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, but it seems like old times as she shares with me the tale of how her latest ecologically minded migration landed on 42nd Street. Heather founded Ibex Puppetry in 2000 and presented the original Orlando Puppet Festival and Sing-Along With The Muppet Movie in our town before moving to New York when her late mother became ill. From the beginning, her production company had strong Central Florida ties, starting with its name: “I went to Busch Gardens Tampa, and I remember going to the cafeteria where they had all the animals on the wall. I remember looking at the sable and the ibex. I really wanted to have a hoof stock as my animal logo – I was looking at the walls with all these mounted heads and I liked the ones with the rounded horns.” Henson’s latest show is based on original storyboards she drew, and was created

With Ajijaak on Turtle Island, an ecological fable based on indigenous stories, Heather Henson aims to “decolonize the theater system”

in collaboration with co-director/writer Ty Defoe and Native American musicians Dawn Avery and Kevin Tarrant, but it also features elements that trace back to shows she originally developed in Orlando, such as Panther & Crane and Celebration of Flight. The music-filled play follows the migration of Ajijaak, an endangered whooping crane, as she crosses the North American continent (or “Turtle Island,” as indigenous peoples call it) collecting herbal medicines and meeting fellow animals in her quest to conquer the monstrous Mishibizhiw, a slumbering demon summoned by humandriven environmental degradation. With striking video projections by Katherine Freer, avian kites by Orlando’s Curtiss Lee Mitchell and puppets built by the famous Jim Henson Creature Shop, Ajijaak on Turtle Island is easily the most visually impressive show Ibex has ever produced. And Defoe’s script deftly integrates indigenous traditions with accessible contemporary language, eliciting enthusiastic vocal participation from the sold-out audience – a significant percentage of whom, including the Unkechaug elected chief whose blessing began the show, represented local Native American tribes. According to Henson, Ajijaak evolved over several incarnations through a process she compares to “baking a cake.” Though she performed on stage in prior versions,

she says the latest production is “a very different experience. This show is about supporting the Native American community.” With Ajijaak, Henson makes an effort toward “decolonizing the theater system … It’s been a long process of trying to uplift these voices and shine a light on these communities.” Casting a Native American performer in the role Heather previously puppeteered “changed the dynamics of the story” in a positive way. “It’s really wonderful [to] finally get to see the whole picture, but I do want to get my butt up on stage again.” Departing Orlando meant leaving behind “things that I really care about, people I care about, projects I care about”; Henson is especially grateful to the Big Potato Foundation in Apopka for keeping Ibex’s Endangered Species Parade going. But she feels the move to New York was essential for developing her art. “I do not think the Native American process could happen in Orlando,” she says. “There’s a real strong diversity of Native Americans here [and] it’s been an amazing learning experience working with Native American cultures here. I’ve gone to grad school and back in terms of cultural sensitivity.” Even so, Henson still has fond feelings for “warm and friendly” Orlando, and says she misses walking to Lake Eola and going to the farmers market. While Ajijaak might be remounted in Nebraska or California, Heather is “very inspired” by the Orlando Fringe Festival and is considering creating a “cathartic” autobiographical monologue for it. Here’s hoping the lottery gods smile on her if and when she finally does. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

NOOD SCENES

Domu’s “quick casual” concept lays bare some beautiful bowls of ramen BY FAIYAZ KARA

onny Nguyen has made it his purpose to present perfect bowls of ramen to the frenzied and madding crowds of noodle lovers out there, and his flagship restaurant Domu at East End Market is, without question, one of the best. Not because they make their noodles in house every day, or because their broths are made fresh without the use of concentrates, but because Nguyen exhibits a healthy obsession for what he does. Sure, it helps that he’s a bit of a shinnichi, though any ramen peddler worth their weight in noodles is likely a Japanophile in some way, shape or form. Domu Chibi, Nguyen’s latest venture, presents a “quick casual” and “on-the-go” version of Domu. “It’s a cheaper and faster alternative to our main store,” says Nguyen. “We had to figure out how to bring the price of the bowl down to under $10 while trying to be as true to a [proper] bowl of ramen as we could.” Which begs the question – what was done to bring the cost below $10, or $9.50 to be exact? For one, the noodles. At the flagship, Nguyen makes his noodz from scratch using a machine from Japan. For “quick casual” Chibi, such a time-consuming process isn’t practical nor

feasible. Enter Sun Noodle – a purveyor choice made by many a top-flight ramen-ya around the country. Sun’s straight noodles are employed for Chibi’s tonkotsu, shoyu, shio, curry and butter miso ramens; the vegan ramen uses an egg-free wavy noodle. More cost-saving measures: iPads replace human beings in the order-taking process, and food is served in fully disposable bowls and eaten with equally disposable utensils. One constant: broths and bases are house-made, just as they are at the mothership. Yes, the 18-hour tonkotsu is rich and fatty, but the “KFC bucket”-shaped bowls, as my dining comrade described them, left a bit to be desired. “It’s hard to appreciate the beauty of a bowl of ramen if the component parts are jumbled atop one another rather than given room to float,” he growled. Hey, lower cost comes at, umm, a cost. Another gripe: Noodles were somewhat prone to clumping, which inhibited a pleasurable slurp. But, based on taste alone, the tonkotsu was a mighty fine bowl of ramen, with

lush pork belly, wood ear mushrooms and a seasoned soft-boiled egg we chose to brûlée for 50 cents more. BTW, add-ons from buttered corn ($1) to miso-marinated chicken thigh ($2.50) can be tossed into your bowl – just tell it to the friendly iPad. We went a little cuckoo for that miso chicken in the curry ramen, mainly for the luxuriant (and fiery) double chicken broth. For added cluck, we opted for a splash of black garlic oil (50 cents) and garlic-scallion confit (50 cents). “Needs more butter and salt” was the general consensus when it came to the butter miso ramen with pork belly, while the lone vegan in the group insatiably devoured the spicy ramen – the tomato-miso broth dribbling fetchingly off those kinky strands. No skimping on the tofu, mushrooms, sprouts or shoots either. Not up for ramen? Then leave. Better yet, get a dashi rice bowl ($8.50) with “wing bites” – boneless versions of Domu’s celebrated kimchi butter-coated chicken wings. There’s a soft-boiled egg, to be sure, and a ginger-onion mayo and cubes of yuzu-pickled daikon too. It’s a dish I’d order time and again as I quite enjoy washing my mouth out with butter. If you’re going, just know that the place gets packed, particularly on weekend nights.

Taco stand in the heart of the Milk District adds to the city’s taco diversity, offering tacos from various states/regions of Mexico. Sure, you’ll find cochinita pibil and mole poblano tacos, but you’ll also find steak with sikil pik (a pumpkin seed sauce), shrimp tikin xic (a marinade of achiote and bitter orange) and Michoacán carnitas of confit pulled pork.

National chain brings proper Neapolitanstyle pies to the Maitland City Centre, and they’re every bit as legit as they claim. You can’t go wrong with a classic traditional margherita, and downing a whole 12-inch pie by yourself is very doable. Specialty pizzas are reluctantly offered in the “New York style” for those who want them, but they’re more filling – though every bit as delish.

French steakhouse chain makes its U.S. debut inside the Bay Hill Plaza, offering fare a cut above Outback, but not quite the level of a Ruth’s Chris. Steaks, naturally, are the focus, including cuts like rump steak, top sirloin and various ground steaks. The “maquignon” – a burger with hashbrowns acting as buns – is an ideal lunchtime option. For starters, consider escargots, foie gras or a seasonal terrine. For the steakaverse, traditional preparations of pot au feu and blanquette de veau will give you all the French feels.

To Dust

ASHES TO ASHES To Dust director Shawn Snyder discusses death and taxes BY C AMERON MEIE R

enjamin Franklin famously said that the only certain things were death and taxes, and both were on the mind of Florida native Shawn Snyder when I spoke to him recently about his debut feature, To Dust. Raised near Miami and now residing in New York City, Snyder has chosen as his first feature a refreshingly odd tale he concocted with fellow Floridian Jason Begue. The unlikeliest buddy dramedy of the year, To Dust is the story of a man grappling with his wife’s death. Morbidly obsessed with the body’s decomposition and its relationship to the soul, Shmuel (Géza Röhrig, Son of Saul) reaches out to his rabbi. But unable to find answers, he turns to a snarky science teacher (Matthew Broderick), and together they embark on an absurd odyssey of intellectual and spiritual growth. It’s as if the Coen brothers rewrote The Odd Couple, making Oscar even more irreverent and turning Felix into a Hasidic Jew. “The heart and the emotional core of it all stems from my mom’s death about 10 years ago and sort of my experiences with grief afterwards,” Snyder says. “I come

from a Reform Jewish background, which is certainly not Hasidic, and it waxes and wanes on my own kind of ongoing pilgrimage with Judaism and spiritual questions at large. Judaism has a timeline for grief, … and objectively I’ve always found it to be incredibly profound and poignant and lifeaffirming in the face of loss.” But emotions don’t always run on a timeline, and both Snyder and his character struggled with traditional mourning. “I found my grief to be spilling outside the boundaries of those confines, and the sense that any grief could be contained or defined felt very unfitting to me. And I started to realize that grief is specific – and as specific as the relationship between the person who has been lost and the person who is left behind. And then my own grief goes on 10 years later, and it’s something that evolves, and it’s something that grows, and it’s not something that I feel I need to exorcise or purge. I’m very appreciative of the way in which it grows, and it keeps my mom present and my relationship with her evolving. So the movie sort of emotionally comes from … the right to grieve in a wholly personal and idiosyncratic way.”

Though Snyder – who comes to filmmaking by way of a blues-folk music background – says he is content in New York City, he still embraces his Miami roots. Indeed, he says he would love to shoot a film in Florida if the financial terrain were friendly. “The idea is [to set my next film] in South Florida, ’cause I do think there are so many indigenous South Florida stories,” Snyder says. “I think that one of the first issues with tax incentives is that they are amazing, but … you get the big Hollywood production that comes into town, uses up the workforce but then moves back to Hollywood. [The production] ships in and exploits this place and exploits the workforce, [and] there isn’t necessarily this encouragement of local, South Florida storytelling or storytelling that’s specific to that place. “I have these crazy, sort of activist ideas about how you can hack the tax incentives to give more … to a South Florida … filmmaker in that location, making stories about that location, instead of just using Atlanta [as] your generic urban environment for the next Marvel movie.” Florida lawmakers seem somewhat more inclined recently to embrace filmmaking, but even if tax incentives never materialize, we can still take joy in the knowledge that homegrown moviemakers like Snyder are exercising their unique cinematic voices.

OPENING THIS WEEK: Captive State In the latest film by Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), Chicago is the center of a human rebellion against an alien force that has occupied the world. Sounds reminiscent of the sociopolitical sci-fi film that was District 9 – except that one was a metaphor for a criminally stratified culture that imposed brutal restrictions on an alleged racial underclass. Wait, now I’m talking about Chicago again. On the filmmaking front, Captive State co-star Machine Gun Kelly has complained of lingering injuries from a scene in which his character is punched in the chest repeatedly by a cop. But restitution is on its way in the form of The Dirt, coming to Netflix March 22. In that one, Kelly plays Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe. And he’ll get to punch all the cops he wants. (PG-13) Five Feet Apart Cystic fibrosis is the bugaboo in this romantic drama about kids whose romance is complicated by the life-shortening disease. Some CF advocates have criticized the film for depicting the lead characters doing things patients aren’t allowed to do, like being in the same room and touching each other’s medication. Hey, you know who really shouldn’t be allowed to be in the same room and touch each other’s medication? YOUR PARENTS.

his late wife. Gee, most people I know would be satisfied enough simply knowing their spouse was dead. But there I go, talking about your parents again. I guess we should just all be thankful I didn’t conduct Orlando Weekly’s interview with Snyder, whose conversation with our Cameron Meier appears on page 29. (R; opens Friday at Regal Winter Park Village Stadium 20 & RPX) Wonder Park A young woman tries to resurrect a theme park she helped create but which has since fallen fallow. Don’t expect similar miracles from production house Nickelodeon Movies, whose Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius didn’t exactly ensure the eternal viability of Universal Studios Florida. (Thank God for the Minions.) Fun fact: Wonder Park is one of two films opening on local screens this week that utilize the acting talents of Matthew Broderick. Here, he voices the part of the heroine’s father; in To Dust, he plays a science professor who helps explain the process of bodily decomposition. Boy if two films were ever crying out for a mash-up, amirite? (PG)

ALSO PLAYING: The Kid A young boy caught up in the game of cat-and-mouse between Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid has to decide if he wants to emulate the lawman or the outlaw. I seem to recall Bobby from The Brady Bunch having a similar problem regarding Jesse James, so I’m going to assume this kid discovers Billy was likewise “a mean, dirty killer.” Coming soon: Machine Gun Kelly learns the truth about Machine Gun Kelly.

MIND. BLOWN. Total Punk’s Rich Evans launches his most ambitious label project yet BY MATTHEW MOYER

he slow creep into middle age has been known to fill many a man with deep existential dread, leading them to throw money in foolish directions. Maybe it’s time to get that sports car? Maybe it’s time to get that motorcycle? Local punk scene mainstay Rich Evans, heading further into his 40s, turned that selfish cliché on its head and instead started another, more personal outlet to release new music. “I joked that I couldn’t afford a sports car, so I started another label,” deadpans Evans. “But this time I wanted to do something that had a little more artistry to it.” This brand-new record label, the intriguingly named Mind Meld, released its first LP into the world in January, a collection of solo works by Timmy Vulgar’s Genetic Defect titled Music From the Other Side of the Swamp. So for those keeping count,

Evans is now owner of Mind Meld, runs Total Punk Records, is (we’d posit) the Vince McMahon of wrestling non-fed Mayhem on Mills and crams in some drumming for Golden Pelicans. According to Evans, the birth of Mind Meld will have no impact on Total Punk’s operations (boasting over 70 releases and counting); he just had a different creative itch to scratch. “I still love doing the Total Punk stuff,” he says, “but after you’ve been doing something for awhile, you get kind of restless.” Out of this restlessness Mind Meld was born, and its brief is ambitious. Evans approached musicians he looked up to and told them, “This is a chance for you to express yourself any way you want, and I’ll foot the bill.” In contrast to Total Punk’s strict sonic and visual aesthetic, Mind Meld is the equivalent of an open door. Artists

submit whatever solo recordings they want, regardless of genre or lack thereof, and also design their own record covers and inserts, with Evans promising to duly release the results on vinyl. “I’m getting older and I wanted to be able to release different stuff that was really personal,” says Evans. “I called the label Mind Meld because I wanted it to be a doorway into the songwriting process of a musician.” “When I was in the middle of figuring all of this out, Timmy [Vulgar] sent me those recordings out of nowhere and I just thought, ‘Oh my god this is exactly what I’ve been thinking about.’” Through that initial bit of telepathy, Mind Meld was off and running. And Timmy Vulgar, best known as frontman of Detroit garage titans Timmy’s Organism, has set the bar high for future releases with his album. The record is a look deep into Vulgar’s creative mind, from the garish dayglo-Lovecraft cover art to the freewheeling insert (all drawn and designed by Vulgar) to the songs, deeply-fried psych-rock weirdness and space-rock soundscapes. Evans remembers seeing the finished products for the first time and getting that same feeling as when he first started releasing music, enthusing, “When I got the first covers and the first labels for this album, I remembered that excitement. It felt really fresh and new again.” Vulgar refers to the album as “music from the other side of the fence.” And he echoes Evans’ delight with the final product, in his own singular fashion, cryptically telling Orlando Weekly, “My child was born. It’s such a beautiful baby that shrieks noises and weirdo sounds when it plays.” Evans is eager to start work on the next release, with underground luminaries like Mr. Quintron, Chad Booth (Gary Wrong), and David Nance all hard at work on their Mind Meld releases. Quintron even quipped to Evans after he asked him to join the roster, “Oh, so you’re starting a real Total Punk Records!” Endearingly, Evans cops to still working up the nerve to ask Chris Gunn (the Hunches) and the enigmatic Ben Wallers (Country Teasers) to each release albums for the label too. The current mission of Mind Meld has a definite shelf life; Evans wants to do six records in this series and then move on to different themes. “At a certain point you have to start making compromises,” he says. “Especially if you want to keep putting product out. ‘Oh yeah, that guy’s pretty good,’ or ‘People like that.’ It’ll let me know when it’s done. … Or my wallet will.” mmoyer@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

THE BLACK QUEEN AND UNIFORM, THE ABBEY, MARCH 3

Fronted by Dillinger Escape Plan singer Greg Puciato, L.A. band the Black Queen is an emerging side project of credentialed music figures that’s sprouted legs of its own. From the jump, though, the mood of their set was thwarted by a fantastic tantrum from guitarist Steven Alexander Ryan. We’re talking total raging meltdown here. He spent more than one song thrashing his equipment, a spectacle that required some calming by his bandmates in mid-play. The cause wasn’t immediately evident but, hey, we’ve all had one of those days. Ours just don’t manifest onstage in front of an audience. But, trust, his scene here is one I act out in my mind every day in traffic. Unfortunately, the fit was so spectacularly jarring that the Black Queen’s smooth synth emotionalism had trouble shining after it. Still, frontman Puciato was a seasoned, even slick, showman – no surprise given his pro experience with Dillinger. And his vocals – the heart of this group’s music – were svelte and emotive. One band that could hold up even if the entire place were being ravaged by Vikings was opening Sacred Bones band Uniform. This NYC act has been earning their bones in the noise underground among mighty company like the Body, with whom they collaborated on last year’s Mental Wounds Not Healing EP.

Audience participation isn’t just an occurrence at Terror Pigeon shows, it’s a pillar Originally a duo and now a trio, Uniform are one of those bands that prove what you can really do with a little murder in your eye and a lot of volume. They were introduced on stage by a video loop of images from The Exorcist, appropriate given the terror they were about to unleash. Once they began, it was raw sonic thrill. Conjuring dissonance from guitar and electronics, their unfiltered noise-rock hits with an industrial crunch. It’s a sick dance of brutality and bloodthirst. And in sound and bearing, the performance was beautifully nasty and perpetually on the verge.

TERROR PIGEON, STARDUST COFFEE, MARCH 5

The never-ending locomotive of affirmation that is Terror Pigeon just rolled through again. In the years since their emergence last decade, it’s nice to see that their brilliance hasn’t dimmed a watt. Fronted by the irrepressible Neil Fridd, this body-moving, electro-pop juggernaut used to be called Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt for good reason. They were less a traditional band than a one-man project flanked by a crew of merry agitators that infiltrated the crowd and got them involved, dancing, and even dressed up in the band’s homemade costumes and props.

Now, they’ve morphed into a live duo that includes performance partner and Orlando native Jen Gavin. Though considerably more compact than before, they’re no less infectious. Terror Pigeon’s live essence remains gloriously unchanged. Decked out in all manner of DIY decorations and props, the scene’s still like an art collective that’s spontaneously combusted into a dance party. And Fridd’s command of the audience is still total, which is crucial because it’s what makes the real magic of a Terror Pigeon show happen. Audience participation isn’t just an occurrence at their shows, it’s a pillar. Besides their unmistakably lively performance, the event is a series of nonstop crowd-involving situations. Beyond mere engagement, Fridd is able to lead the audience around the room – and down the rabbit hole – into various scenarios without effort. From getting them to erect a camping tent without missing a beat to ushering the party into a parachute like a big top, he orchestrated the room like a seasoned maestro. In music, delivery and message, Terror Pigeon’s complete lack of guile and inhibition is a kind of ultimate emancipation. Their shows are immersive, consuming experiences that, in the moment, will have you believing with every glowing cell of your body that you’ve finally broken through to the most joyous plane of existence ever. Like triumphant resistance to the world that burns around us, Terror Pigeon is a needed bastion of unmitigated hope in the most cynical of times. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival ART

What started as a small community project in the 1960s has evolved into a large art festival that has been running now for six decades. Still holding true to its origins and mission of bringing the community together, the festival features pieces by local artists and school art exhibits in addition to national and international artists. Attendees will see art in just about any medium they can think of, with traditional wood and metal work, paint and clay, alongside more modern and exotic works of fiber, photography and printmaking. Guests even get the chance to hear the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra play as they walk the beautiful streets of Winter Park. – Elizabeth Gondar 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday | Central Park, West Morse Boulevard and North Park Avenue, Winter Park | 407-644-7207 | wpsaf.org | free

In his latest and arguably strongest album, Astroworld, rapper Travis Scott takes you on a psychedelic rap tour through his hometown amusement park when it was being shut down to make way for apartment complexes. Now on his largest and most ambitious tour to date, he brings it back to life on stage with the “Astroworld: Wish You Were Here Tour,” now on its second leg. The production is gigantic, squarely in line with the world-conquering ambition of a Beyoncé or KISS. And the tour is apparently so wild that it’s led Rolling Stone to dub Scott “hip-hop’s king of chaos,” but there’s clearly a method to his madness, with Billboard magazine hailing him as an arena-filling phenomenon akin to Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. See for yourself this Friday. – EG

Jungle 51: Dubfire & Todd Terry MUSIC

The Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival may be taking a breather for 2019, but one of its signature attractions – an outdoor dance floor featuring a crashed UFO and otherworldly lightshows – makes a pop-up appearance at the fairgrounds this weekend. They’ve grabbed some top talent for this outing too, with techno stars Dubfire (Ali Shirazinia, maybe better known as one half of deep house pioneers Deep Dish) and Todd Terry (responsible for bringing house to the mainstream by producing tracks like Everything but the Girl’s “Missing” in 1994). The fact that the Central Florida Fair will be happening nearly right on top of this warehouse dance party only makes it more perfect somehow. – Thaddeus McCollum

Functionally Literate: Akbar Shahzad & Sarah Pinsker LITERARY

Pity the poor speculative-fiction writer. Living as we all do now in The Darkest Timeline™, it’s tough to come up with a plot that exceeds the implausibility and dystopia of reality. Or maybe congratulate them; living in that mindset must make each day’s headlines easier to wrap your head around. Tonight two of the best emerging writers of imaginative fiction, Akbar Shahzad and Sarah Pinsker, read from their work and discuss crossing lines – political, geographic, aesthetic – in the latest installment of Burrow Press’ Functionally Literate event. Kirkus Reviews says Pinsker’s new story collection, Sooner or Later Everything Falls Into the Sea, is “populated by anarchists, punks, survivalist, Luddites, drifters and rock & roll queers.” We can’t promise that’ll be the audience makeup at this FuncLit, but you just never know. – Jessica Bryce Young 7 p.m. | Lowndes Shakespeare Center, 812 E.

Jeff Tweedy MUSIC

PHOTO BY WHITTEN SABBATINI

Jeff Tweedy, the chief writer and vocalist of Wilco, launched his 2019 tour in Iowa about a week ago to support his new album, Warm. His alt-country roots in the Americana ’90s shine throughout his newest and, technically, debut solo album. The songs are rife with dizzying rhythmic and bluesy riffs, alternating with very soft twangs, hinting at the ever-present Sad Cowboy themes of loss and resignation, while paying homage to the softer, warmer elements found in the dynamic and experimental Sukierae album recorded with his son Spencer in 2014. As he gallivants through our nation of shambles and sorrows, you can pay him a visit during his stop in Orlando on St. Patrick’s Day. – Maisie Haney with James Elkington | 7:30 p.m. | The Plaza Live, 425 N.

Over the last two or three years Elizabeth Baker has performed in Orlando roughly six times, and no two sets have been the same. She’s largely put aside the toy piano, switched between her arsenal of instruments, collaborated with a handful of different worthies, worn some amazing costumes and increasingly incorporated body movement and dance into her performances (developing her physical performance chops in fast-forward). So it makes perfect sense that this return engagement features a collaborative performance between Baker and local troupe Voci Dance (who absolutely dazzled with their interpretation of Ken Nordine’s abstract “Paint Chips” in 2016). The evening’s brief is “interdisciplinary structured improvisation work for dance and sound,” so be prepared for these performers to put themselves through their paces. – Matthew Moyer

St. Patrick’s Day St. Vicious Celtic Punk Block Party Recently embattled booking organization Shows I Go To rather publicly announced that it had gotten itself into dire financial straits after a big daylong festival last year. For their first major show after recouping their expenses, they’re throwing another big show in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. Go figure. Celtic punk is the theme, with bands like Boston’s Mickey Rickshaw, New Jersey’s Little Vicious and South Florida’s Church Girls headlining. There’s also a late night comedy showcase curated by Heather Shaw for those who don’t wear themselves out singing the wrong words to “Shipping Up to Boston” over and over again. 7 p.m. Friday; Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave.; $10-$12; willspub.org. Mighty St. Patrick’s Day Festival The Irishiest part of Disney Springs, Raglan Road, throws its annual weekender in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. The party kicks off on Friday and continues through Sunday with Irish bands the Young Dubliners, the Byrne Brothers, Briste and more, along with live step dancing in the main dining room. Going on the big day itself will cost you a tenner, but it could be worth it for the elevated quality of Raglan’s kitchen over some of the dodgier options in town. We won’t name names. 3 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. Saturday-Sunday; Raglan Road, Disney Springs, 1640 E. Buena Vista Drive; free-$10; raglanroad.com. Wall St. Plaza’s St. Patrick’s Day Block Parties If you’re into a more traditional American St. Patrick’s Day, you’ll find what you’re looking for downtown at Wall Street Plaza. The party kicks off Saturday night with the St. Practice Day block party and continues through Sunday. Get your fill of authentic American green beer while enjoying live music, food and drink specials, games and even an appearance or two by a leprechaun. The only thing missing is me Lucky Charms. 7 p.m. Saturday, noon Sunday; Wall Street Plaza, 27 Wall St.; free; wallsplaza.net. St. Paddy’s Day Truck Pull & Street Festival You may be able to take the Irish out of Ireland (or force them out by starving and killing them for 900 years, amirite England?), but you can’t take the Sanford out of Sanford’s St. Patrick’s Day parties. For this celebration, teams sign up to pull a full-size, regulation fire truck up for a few blocks. Entry fees go to charity, and teams with the best times get prizes. Or you could just enjoy the Sanford Avenue block party happening at the same time. Your call. 4 p.m. Sunday; West End Trading Co., 202 S. Sanford Ave.; free; historicdowntownsanford.com.

Jim Norton CO M E DY

Jim Norton’s penchant for pushing boundaries has been the distinguishing feature of his career. From his days on cult radio show Opie & Anthony to 2017’s Netflix standup special, A Mouthful of Shame, Norton has consistently been the guy most willing to cross over into subject matter that most people wouldn’t discuss with strangers, like the virtues of prostitutes or the subtleties of eating ass. It’s gained him plenty of fans, and even landed Norton the opportunity to play comedy legend Don Rickles in Martin Scorcese’s upcoming true crime flick, The Irishman. Catch him at the Improv this weekend if you’re not squeamish. – Thaddeus McCollum 8 & 10:30 p.m. Friday, 7 & 9:45 p.m. Saturday | Orlando Improv, 9101 International Drive | 407-480-5233 | theimprovorlando.com | $30-$80

MARCH 13-19, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

B Y DA N S AVAG E

My grandfather was a pillar of the community and beloved by his family. He was also sexually abusive. He died when I was a child. I remember only one incident happening to me – during a cuddle session, he encouraged me to put my mouth on his penis, and then told me to let it be our little secret. I heard rumors as an adult that he molested other kids in the neighborhood. He also had a sexual relationship with my mother. She says nothing happened as a child. But as an adult, he started telling her he loved her in a romantic way. He told her he wanted to take nude Polaroids of her, and she let him. And she loved him – she and her sisters all pretty much idolized him. My one aunt knew (she said nothing happened to her), and I asked her how she reconciled that. She said she compartmentalized it – she thought he was a wonderful father and didn’t really think about the other stuff. I did lots of therapy in the late 1980s and early ’90s. I read books, I journaled, I talked to my mom and tried to understand what she experienced. And I moved on as much as anyone could. So now it’s 2019 and I’m almost 50. My mom just moved into a nursing home, and while cleaning out her drawers, I found the Polaroids my grandfather took of her. I know it was him because he is in some of them, taken into a mirror as she goes down on him. They were taken over a period of years. She had led me to believe he never really did anything sexual with her besides taking photos. But he did. And here’s the thing, Dan: In the photos, she looks happy. I know she was probably acting, because that’s what he wanted from her. But it just makes me question my assumptions. Was it terrible abuse or forbidden love? Both? What am I looking at? What would I prefer – that she enjoyed it or that she didn’t? She kept the photos. Were they fond memories? I know she loved him. She kind of fell apart when he died. Was he a fucking manipulator who had a gift for making his victims feel loved and special as he exploited them for his own selfish needs? I don’t know if I’m going to bring this up with my mom. She’s old and sick, and I dragged her through these types of conversations in my 20s. So I’m writing you. This is so far out of most people’s experience, and I want someone who has heard more sexual secrets than probably anyone else in the world to tell me what he thinks. Whirlwind Of Emotions I think you should sit down and watch all four hours of Leaving Neverland, the new HBO documentary by British filmmaker Dan Reed. It focuses on the experiences of Wade Robson and James Safechuck, two nowadult men who were sexually abused by pop star Michael Jackson when they were boys. Allegedly. It’s an important film to watch, 54

“ T H E S I N S O F T H E G R A N D FAT H E R ”

WOE, but it’s not an easy one to watch, as it includes graphic descriptions of the sexual abuse both men claim to have suffered as boys. The second most disturbing part of the film after the graphic descriptions of child rape – or the third most disturbing part after the credulity/culpability of Robson’s and Safechuck’s parents – may be what the men have to say about Jackson. Both describe their abuser in romantic terms. They both say they loved Jackson. And they both remain deeply conflicted about their feelings for Jackson then and their feelings for him now. It was their affection for Jackson – their desire to protect him and to safeguard what Jackson convinced them was a secret and a bond they shared – that led both men to lie to law-enforcement officials when Jackson was accused of sexually abusing different boys. You should also listen to Reed’s interview on “The Gist,” Mike Pesca’s terrific daily podcast. Reading your letter the morning after I watched Leaving Neverland reminded me of something Reed said to Pesca: “What the film is about is the reckoning. It’s two families coming to terms with what happened to their sons. And a big part of understanding that, you know – so why the silence? Why did the sons keep silent for so long? Why did they keep the secret? And the key really is to be able to explain why Wade gave false witness and perjured himself on the witness stand. And the reason for that, of course, has to do with how survivors of sexual abuse experience that. And how they keep a secret and how they sometimes form deep attachments with the abuser and how that attachment persists into adult life.” Your mother, like Robson and Safechuck, lied to protect her abuser, a man who abused her and abused you and probably many others. She may have held on to those photos for the same reason Robson and Safechuck say they defended Jackson: She loved her father, and she was so damaged by what he did to her – she had been so expertly groomed by her abuser – that she felt “loved” and “special” in the same way that Jackson’s alleged abuse once made Robson and Safechuck feel loved and special. So as horrifying as it is to contemplate, WOE, your mother may have held on to those photos because they do represent what are, for her, “fond memories.” And while it would be a comfort to think she held on to those photos as proof for family members who doubted her story if she ever decided to tell the truth, her past defenses of her father work against that explanation. Leaving Neverland demonstrates that sexual abuse plants a ticking time bomb inside a person – shit, sorry, no passive language. Leaving Neverland demonstrates that

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● MARCH 13-19, 2019 ● orlandoweekly.com

sexual predators like your grandfather and like Jackson – fucking manipulators with a gift for making their victims feel loved and special – plant ticking time bombs in their victims. Even if a victim doesn’t initially experience their abuse as a violation and as violence, WOE, a reckoning almost inevitably comes. One day, the full horror of what was done to them snaps into focus. These reckonings can shatter lives, relationships and souls. It doesn’t sound like your mother ever had her reckoning – that day never came for her – and so she never came to grips with what was done to her and, tragically, what was done to you. And your aunt wasn’t the only member of your family who “didn’t really think about the other stuff.” Just as denial and compartmentalization enabled Jackson and facilitated his crimes (and allowed the world to enjoy Jackson’s music despite what was staring us all in the face), denial and compartmentalization allowed your “pillar of the community” grandfather to rape his daughter, his granddaughter and scores of other children. Like Robson and Safechuck, WOE, you have a right to be angry with the adults in your family who failed to protect you from a known predator. That some of them were also his victims provides context, but it does not exonerate them. I’m glad your grandfather died when you were young. It’s tempting to wish he’d never been born, WOE, but then you would never have been born, and I’m glad you’re alive. I’m particularly glad you’re there, right now, embedded in your damaged and damaging family. By telling the truth, you’re shattering the silence that allowed an abuser to groom and prey on children across multiple generations of your family. Your grandfather can’t victimize anyone else, WOE, but by speaking up – by refusing to look the other way – you’ve made it harder for other predators to get away with what your grandfather did. P.S. There’s a moment in the credits for Leaving Neverland that I think you might want to replicate. It involves some things one of Jackson’s alleged victims saved and a fire pit. You’ll know what I mean when you see it. On the Lovecast: Yikes! It’s the trigger show. Listen at savagelovecast.com. mail@savagelove.net ITMFA.org

Meet Memphis! Memphis (A418152) is approximately 4 years old. He was brought in as a stray and tested FIV-positive, but he is also one of the most easy-going and sweetest of cats. He is a total foodie and will tell you all about it with his silly-sounding meows, as he often hangs out in the kitchen to “help” just on the off chance that you drop something.
