Readers react to stories from last week. On May 17, we reported that a Clearwater lawyer who filmed himself saying “So long, sucker” to a raccoon he left stranded 20 miles offshore is now being investigated by the Florida Bar. According to the Tampa Bay Times, Bar officials confirmed that an investigation into Thomas Cope’s raccoon incident is underway, but did not say which rules he may have violated. Though Cope has since apologized for leaving the raccoon to die, this is the second investigation into his now-viral video. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission also launched an inquiry on May 8. @Desiree Massey He thought what he was doing was funny and wanted attention; that’s why he recorded and posted the video. Him saying he was concerned for rabies is an afterthought because he’s now in hot water. @Maureen Muir Can we just push him off a boat and see how he does 20 miles out?

@Kelly Jo Kib It was a baby raccoon to boot. On May 16, we reported that a plane was forced to make an emergency landing on I-4 during the rush hour commute. According to authorities, a small plane ran out of fuel while headed to the Orlando Executive Airport and was forced to land on the onramp to WB I-4 from Maitland Boulevard at around 5:45 p.m. that afternoon. The FAA is currently investigating the incident. No injuries were reported at the time. @Randy David Looking at the video with all the traffic in the area and the plane mostly intact, I would say the pilot did a great job of landing the plane. @JM Chick Looks like he had to come down to get his SunPass scanned but forgot to put his wheels down first. @Marco Villaverde It is a miracle he did not hit a car or a pole while landing.

DeSantis signs controversial toll roads legislation, an Orlando police officer was arrested on a manslaughter charge, and other news you may have missed last week. »

Gov. Ron DeSantis signs controversial ‘Billionaire Boulevard’ toll roads legislation: Last week, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill that requires the state to build two new toll roads and extend a third toll road through parts of Florida: an extension of the Suncoast Parkway from the Tampa Bay area north of the Georgia border; an extension of the Florida Turnpike west to connect with the Suncoast Parkway; and the construction of a toll road that will stretch from Polk County to Collier County. Progress Florida has dubbed the project the “Billionaire Boulevard,” describing it as “one of the biggest land grabs in decades, threatening large swaths of natural Florida in the process.”

It’s now officially against Florida law to text while driving: Last week, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill that makes using your phone while driving in Florida a primary offense. The law also requires school zones and active work zones to be hands-free areas. However, it prohibits law enforcement from accessing or confiscating wireless devices without first obtaining a warrant. Under current Florida law, motorists can only be issued a citation for texting or otherwise using their phones while driving if they’re pulled over for other reasons. The new law goes into effect July 1.

Florida lawmakers and the FBI are still keeping their lips sealed on which counties the Russians hacked: Members of Florida’s congressional delegation last week backed Gov. Ron DeSantis’ statement that election records in two unidentified counties were hacked by Russians during the 2016 campaign. U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, who was governor from 2011 to early this year, said in a statement that he is unable to reveal the counties. The inability to identify the counties has upset lawmakers from both parties. The FBI has maintained there is no evidence that votes or voter information were altered.

Orlando police officer involved in Colonial Plaza shooting arrested on manslaughter charge: Officer Anthony Wongshue of the Orlando Police Department was arrested last week on manslaughter charges stemming from a fatal shooting at the Colonial Plaza on May 7, 2018. According to investigators, Wongshue and another officer approached a minivan after two women were accused of shoplifting. Cell phone footage obtained by WKMG shows one officer firing into the vehicle’s driver’s side, as the other officer fires at its rear window. Hours later the driver, Juan Silva, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead.

Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings commits to better public transit in first mayoral address: Mayor Jerry Demings committed to raising the minimum wage for county employees to $15 by 2021 and announced a 1-cent sales tax increase to fund better public transportation. Demings’ speech highlighted ramping up funding for public transportation and raising county employees’ minimum hourly pay to $15 by 2021 and focused heavily on affordable housing, the region’s surge in public-private partnerships and the pressing need to bolster public transportation.

Great-grandmother arrested for carrying CBD oil at Disney World plans to sue: Attorneys for a great-grandmother with arthritis who was arrested for carrying CBD oil at Disney World last month say she intends to file a lawsuit. Hester Jordan Burkhalter was arrested in April when an Orange County Sheriff’s Office deputy found the cannabis-based product in her purse. The arrest landed her a felony charge and a stay in jail, despite the note from her doctor in her purse during the arrest. The charges were later dropped. orlandoweekly.com

ILLUSTRATION BY CLAY JONES

WELCOME TO GILEAD Alabama’s abortion ban isn’t about abortion. It’s about control BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N

On Tuesday, two dozen scien- that every fertilized egg is sacred, because tifically illiterate white men in Alabama who believe they are on a mission from their invisible sky deity declared that a doctor who terminates the pregnancy of a 12-year-old rape victim – a routine, humane and decidedly uncontroversial medical procedure everywhere else in the developed world – should spend more time in prison than the rapist who impregnates her. On Wednesday, Gov. Kay Ivey signed their bill into law, proclaiming it “a powerful testament to Alabamians’ deeply held belief that every life is precious [and] that every life is a sacred gift from God.” About that sacred gift: Alabama has the worst education system, the secondhighest infant mortality rate and the fifth-highest child poverty rate in the country, with one in four kids living below the poverty line, most of them clustered in majority-black counties. Half of the state’s counties have no obstetrician. Nearly 90 percent of its rural hospitals are bleeding red ink. And, of course, the state has refused to expand Medicaid. Like a new car when it leaves the lot, that sacred gift becomes a lot less valuable the second it slips out of the birth canal. What Ivey meant to say is not that every life is sacred, but – to borrow from Monty Python – that every sperm is sacred. Actually, not even that – and not even

Alabama’s abortion ban doesn’t apply to fertilized eggs stored in a lab, only fertilized eggs inside women. (Coincidentally, white women of means are more likely to use in vitro fertilization. Women of color account for about two-thirds of Alabama’s abortions.) It’s not even about abortion, either. If Alabama really wanted to further reduce the number of abortions – the number of Alabama abortions fell 41 percent from 2005 to 2016, before an uptick in 2017 – it could follow Colorado’s lead and make widely available free and low-cost IUDs. After Colorado began doing that in 2009, its teen birth rate declined by 54 percent and its teen abortion rate dropped by 64 percent over the next eight years. An ounce of prevention, after all, is worth a pound of cure. But again, preventing abortion is not what this is about. It’s about control. What this law seeks to codify – and what Alabama lawmakers truly consider sacred – is the right of a small but politically powerful cohort of social conservatives to dictate traditional gender roles and enforce sexual mores according to their interpretation of fundamentalist dogma. Indeed, in neither Alabama nor anywhere else does such an aggressive attack on reproductive rights have majority sup-

port; even Pat Robertson – yes, that Pat Robertson – thinks it’s extreme. Alabama isn’t alone, of course. Georgia, Mississippi, Ohio and now Missouri have all undertaken similar efforts, with bills that ban abortion when a “heartbeat” can be detected, usually around six to eight weeks of gestation, under the theory that having a “heartbeat” imbues a fetus with personhood. Never mind that it’s not a heartbeat; at this stage of development, a fetus – the size of a shrimp and lacking a central nervous system – doesn’t have a heart. What’s being detected is activity from a tissue called a fetal pole. Then again, it’s not like the pro-life crew have ever been sticklers for science. Georgia’s ban includes exemptions for victims of rape and incest. The laws in Ohio, Mississippi and (soon) Missouri – like Alabama – do not. By design, all of this is unconstitutional, or rather, explicitly designed to force the Supreme Court to reassess abortion’s constitutionality. Almost a half-century ago, Roe v. Wade legalized the right to abortion; two decades later, Casey v. Planned Parenthood affirmed that right. The Supreme Court has held that states cannot prevent women from obtaining abortions before a fetus is viable, roughly through the second trimester. But with two new, uber-conservative Supreme Court justices on the bench – appointed by a president of dubious legitimacy and confirmed by a Senate that represented a clear minority of the American population – anti-choice activists see opportunity: Though neither the science nor the legal arguments have changed since Casey, they believe Donald Trump’s right-wing court majority will simply disregard precedent and throw Roe out the window, embracing the textbook definition of judicial activism conservatives claim to loathe. And you know what? They’re probably right. Which makes you wonder: What’s next? Gay marriage? Further erosions of civil rights? Authoritarian power grabs? For the right – desperate to impose its will as it slips into a demographic and cultural minority – if the courts are no longer willing to be democracy’s backstop against extremism, then everything’s on the table. That worst-case scenario we warned you about in 2016? It’s here. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

ballot via the Constitution Revision Commission, a 37-member committee that convenes to review and propose changes to the Florida Constitution every 20 years. In fact, some lawmakers were so angered by the CRC’s effectiveness – such as the passage of Amendment 4, which restored voting rights for felons in Florida who weren’t convicted of murder or sexual offenses – that they attempted to do away with the panel altogether. The Senate actually passed two measures targeting the CRC. But, much to their dismay, the Florida House wasn’t having it.

Your uterus, their business

THE BUNK BUCKET LIST

For better or worse, here are some of the 2019 legislative session’s proposals that didn’t pass BY XANDER P ETERS

t was another year of failed aspirations for some state lawmakers – for progressive wet-dream legislative goals and nightmarish conservative policy proposals alike. Had state Rep. Ray Rodrigues, R-Estero, gotten his wish with HB 7117, a bill he sponsored, Florida would have embarrassingly become the first state to regulate THC levels in medical marijuana. If the cards had fallen in favor of HB 1335, a proposal sponsored by state Rep. Erin Grall, R-Vero Beach, minors in the Sunshine State would have been required to obtain parental consent before getting an abortion. Luckily, those pieces of legislation failed. As did a few sound, reasonable proposals:

A bill to ban fracking in Florida, which was sponsored by state Sen. Ben Albritton, R-Wauchula, and backed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, sputtered out and died in session in late April. So did a bill that would have barred life insurance companies from using genetic tests to determine coverage after it had cleared the Florida House. That’s just the beginning. Here’s our breakdown of some of the 2019 Legislature’s duds.

The Legislature wouldn’t be on-brand if conservative lawmakers didn’t file at least one measure threatening women’s bodily autonomy. So it’s safe to say it didn’t come as a shock when the House approved a measure along party lines that would have required parents’ written and notarized consent before minors could obtain an abortion, upping the ante from the state’s existing law that already requires parental notification. The bill stalled this time around, but not by much: It was only one vote shy of the required supermajority that would have sent it directly to the Senate floor for a vote, which would have enabled it to avoid two committees in the Senate. “The attempt to move from parental notification to parental consent is very much grounded in a political motivation to make abortion access more difficult while disempowering young people,” says state Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, a former Planned Parenthood official. “This effort to pass parental consent, in my eyes, was less grounded in good policy and making life better for young people, and more grounded in testing our conservative Supreme Court [in Florida].”

would have banned the use of genetic information in canceling, limiting or denying life insurance policies. The difference between the House and the Senate’s proposals: The Senate version would have allowed for DNA testing companies such as 23andMe to be required to get permission before selling someone’s DNA to insurers. The House version nixed that altogether. However, the Senate decided not to take up the measure at the end of session.

‘Duck, duck, duck … liberal!’

Some Republican state lawmakers have a bone to pick with so-called “liberal indoctrination” on college campuses, likely in part due to the huff-and-puff scenarios we’ve seen play out on liberal arts and Ivy League campuses across the nation in recent years. (Clap twice, dear reader, if you recognize the name “Jordan Peterson.”) The proposed bill would have required public universities in Florida to survey students’ and faculty members’ political beliefs annually, which is G-rated Orwellian at best. The House liked the idea, as the measure was approved in that chamber. Academics weren’t as keen on it. And in the end, the Senate said to hell with that sort of quackery, too. Matthew Lata, a professor at Florida State University and member of the United Faculty of Florida, calls the campus survey proposal “completely subjective.” “The reasoning behind it is based on a highly partisan assumption,” Lata says. “The language that was used by the bill’s supporters are talking points that you can find on a website at any number of conservative think tanks. There were no details about who was going to write it, [or] what kind of questions would be on it. They said it was supposed to be nonpartisan and scientific, but the fact is it’s based on a partisan premise.”

‘An unfortunate reflection of session is that we did not pass one active bill addressing environmental protection or environmental regulation.’

vaping products from 18 to 21 – a measure referred to as “T21” – was such a good idea that they didn’t even take the time to debate the bill before overwhelmingly approving it, which more than likely had something to do with teenagers these days getting their kicks on Juul vapes. The proposal would have also preemptively banned local jurisdictions from passing their own ordinances that dealt with the minimum age (another one of those bans on bans the Legislature loves so much). But the House, again, wasn’t about it, as the chamber neglected to take up the issue at the end of the session.

You’ve got to be fracking kidding me For a moment, considering the clout DeSantis has gathered with his environmental policies since taking office, it seemed as though there was a chance that the Legislature would ban “hydraulic fracturing” – fracking – in Florida. DeSantis even included it on a list of environmental proposals that he’s pushed for since taking office in January. Then came the controversy in the Legislature: A proposal to ban the practice cleared two Senate committees, only to not be taken up by two other panels. Meanwhile, a House version of the proposal didn’t make it through its assigned committees, either. Why? Well, for one, the measure didn’t go far enough – it didn’t ban a drilling technique called “matrix acidizing,” which is similar to fracking in that it uses many of the same chemicals, but instead dissolves rocks with acid rather than pressurized liquid. “Another unfortunate reflection of session is that we did not pass one active bill on addressing environmental protection or environmental regulation,” Eskamani says. Sure, she continues, the Legislature managed to allocate more funding towards the state’s ongoing issues with water quality such as red tide and blue-green algae, “but we didn’t pass one bill on actually increasing regulations on pollutants, on holding the private sector accountable for sewage spills … and we did nothing to ban fracking.”

‘You can only get a little high, OK?’ In introducing their reasoning behind a piece of legislation that attempted to put a 10 percent cap on THC levels in medical marijuana, lawmakers cited a very

bunk study in the journal The Lancet Psychiatry. The study’s authors claimed high levels of THC could lead to psychosis among patient surveyed who were already dealing with prior issues relating to mental health before using cannabis (our emphasis, of course.) Amazingly, the House still managed to split on the plan, despite the fact that more than two years ago roughly 71 percent of Florida voters approved of medical marijuana in a 2016 ballot amendment, and even though the state’s newly elected Republican governor signed legislation that repealed the state’s ban on smoking medically prescribed cannabis. Thankfully, for the sake of patients’ rights, the Senate refused to go along with it. “I filed an amendment to try to get rid of that cap and, of course, the amendment failed,” state Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, D-Orlando, told Orlando Weekly last month during session. “I think lawmakers tend to want to implement [medical and legal marijuana] policies themselves, rather than be aided by voters to do that. And that’s what I’ve argued for: I’m like, ‘Hey, don’t wait for the ballot initiative to come, or voters are going to just approve this and force your hand.’ Why not just set up the framework now?”

Nurse practitioner powers

Florida, with its surplus of elderly citizens, is facing a critical physician shortage. By 2025, the state’s shortage of physician specialists is expected to grow to at least 7,000, according to a study conducted by the Teaching Hospital Council of Florida and the Safety Net Hospital Alliance of Florida. That’s why a proposal that would have allowed advanced registered nurses and physician assistants to work independently of doctors was a top priority for House Speaker Jose Oliva, R-Miami Lakes. However, the Florida Medical Association made a point to put their foot down on the issue, which was enough to convince the Senate to nix the proposal in the end. In states that allow the practice, says Susan Lynch, CEO of the Florida Association of Nurse Practitioners, “Nurse practitioners, they go out into rural areas, they open practices, they develop innovative ways to care for patients. … And not only does that happen, but as a result the cost of state insurance programs go down, access to health care for people improved, health of people improved [and] overall quality of life improved.” xpeters@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

So why quibble? This year we have neatly bisected the Guide into stuff to do outdoors — festivals, fireworks, springs, parks, camping and so on — and stuff to do indoors — movies, concerts, shopping, museums and the like. One thing you won’t find in these pages is a solution to Central Florida’s lovebug infestation, which seems particularly bad this year. If you find a fix, email us at feedback@orlandoweekly.com — we always love to hear from you.

Outside Guide Fishing, camping, paddleboarding and picnicking – get out there and revel in Central Florida summer’s hot, hot heat BY JENNY DE WITT

was born in Orlando in November and the temperature on record for that day and year was 81 degrees. Since then, I’ve loved every single thing about the sunshine, the bright sky, and the warmth of Orlando. If you’re someone who dreams of escaping the heat, skip to the INSIDE section on page 45. But if you’re into the heat like I am, then keep reading. There’s nothing better than making nice with Mother Nature. This state has a wild side that’s truly glorious in the summer. Afternoon rain storms conjure lush greenery that other locales can only dream of. Are you down to play, stroll, walk, roll, hike and ride in the out-of-doors? You’ve got a whole lot of options. If hiking is your thing, a 7-mile trail is just up the road in Sanford at Black Bear Wilderness Loop (5298 Michigan Ave., Sanford, 407-665-2121), complete with boardwalks and potential bear sightings. Safety tip: If a bear makes contact with you, drop to the ground and play dead. Just kidding. Not kidding. (Disclaimer: Orlando Weekly takes zero responsibility for your being chewed on due to a failed

attempt at playing dead effectively.) Are you looking for a bear-free options? Black Hammock Wilderness Area and Trail (3276 Howard Ave., Oviedo, 407-665-2211), is far from any traffic sounds and its 4.5-mile loop is nearly all under a canopy of leafy trees. You’ll only need a 30 SPF instead of a 50 SPF based on the amount of actual shade thrown! (Disclaimer: Orlando Weekly takes zero responsibility for your sunburn. Wear good sunscreen no matter how much shade there is. It’s the Sunshine State, y’all.) Even closer to home, Mead Botanical Gardens (1300 S. Denning Drive, Winter Park, 407-599-3334) is a 47-acre urban preserve in the heart of the city with places to stroll or roll on paths next to flowing gurgling water. Bring your binoculars for some epic birding. (Disclaimer: Orlando Weekly takes all the credit for every dope bird you spot here. We know bird calls. Do you?) Speaking of birds, have you been to the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey (1101 Audubon Way, Maitland, 407-644-0190)? You can spend the afternoon

getting up close and personal with feathery friends at this sanctuary. If you time it right, you might even be able to join the celebration when little ones are born – the center holds baby showers for fuzzy fledglings. If it’s slipperier animals you’re looking to bond with, how about some fishing? Florida is (obviously) a fisherman’s paradise, and some of the world’s best-known anglers cast off right here in our area. Championship bass fisherman Tim Frederick told me that he’s caught some award-winning bass in the legendary Harris Chain of Lakes. There are plenty of lakes in the city of Orlando where you’ll find success when casting. Try Lake Ivanhoe (57 S. Ivanhoe Blvd., 407-246-2283), Lake Underhill (4355 Lake Underhill Road, 407-246-2283) or Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake (3401 S. Hiawassee Road, 407-246-4486) for bass or crappie. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission even has an iPhone app called “Fish Orlando!” on the App Store. (Disclaimer: Orlando Weekly takes zero responsibility if you’re caught fishing without a license. Get a license.) How about some sea cow viewing? Manatees are our local loves. Grab an inner tube and float in the crystalclear, 72-degree waters of the largest spring on the St. Johns River, Blue Spring State Park (2100 W. French Ave., Orange City, 386-775-3663). The park opens at 8 a.m. and fills up fast, so get there early. Over 480 manatees are waiting to say hello. (Disclaimer: Orlando Weekly does not guarantee that you will receive a verbal greeting from a manatee.)

Maybe you’re looking for more modern watering holes? Take a dip in one or all of the 11 refreshing public pools around town. A few have won our Best of Awards but all are worth a visit. College Park Community Center (2393 Elizabeth Ave., 407-246-4447) is our top pick, but another local favorite is Fort Gatlin Recreation Complex (2009 Lake Margaret Drive, 407-254-9820). Tag us in your pool pics and if you hit up all of them, we’ll give you an honorable mention in our Instagram Stories. (Disclaimer: The author has promised this and Orlando Weekly may not actually follow through on it.) If you’re looking to do a little camping or glamping away from the crowds, head up to the Danville Bed and Breakfast (232 N. Jungle Road, Geneva) for a unique stay in a yurt, a treehouse or an airplane hangar. Westgate River Ranch Resort and Rodeo (3200 River Ranch Blvd., River Ranch, 863-692-1321) gets you enjoying the outdoors while allowing for a cool-down in your own private tent with luxe linens and morning coffee service. Primitive camping is always a favorite: ah, the smell of DEET hanging in the air and a crisp crackling fire in 90-degree weather! Wekiwa Springs (1800 Wekiwa Circle Blvd., Apopka, 407-553-4383) offers campsites and cool natural spring waters. (Disclaimer: Orlando Weekly is not going to debate the use of DEET with you. Use it, don’t use it. Use something though, because Zika is a thing here.) If you’re looking to get a little physical, there’s nothing like SUP (stand-up paddleboarding, duh). Paddleboard Orlando (115 N. Orlando Ave., Winter Park, 407-960-7815) has everything from beginners’ courses at Dinky Dock to springs adventures. Starting off, you’ll rediscover your balance and learn a little local history as you paddle-board through the Winter Park canals. Or rent a kayak and take it out to one of your favorite lakes for an hour or two. (Disclaimer: Orlando Weekly is not responsible for you if you end up at sea somehow.) One last tip is to find the ultimate picnic spot. Eating alfresco is kind of our thing here in Orlando, and even in summer the idea of an outdoor barbecue party can easily get family and friends headed your way. Kraft Azalea Garden (1365 Alabama Drive, Winter Park, 407-599-3334) is our top pick. It’s more of a bring-your-own-everythingand-sit-on-a-blanket-type of location, but the views of Lake Virginia and the azalea blooms and greenery make it a winner. A picnic partnered with an event, like Leu Gardens’ (1920 N. Forest Ave., 407-246-2620) movie nights, is a definite win. On June 7, nosh on your pick-anick basket while watching A Quiet Place. Ssshh! Dickson Azalea Park (100 Rosearden Drive) is really the best, quietest hidden getaway situated right in the city, with lots of greenery and trickling water and shade trees and places to sit and reflect while chewing your food. (Disclaimer: Orlando Weekly will not debate whether Publix chicken tenders are the best picnic food. They just are.) If you’re ever really in need of a strong breeze, you can speed away the heat in just 10 laps around the Lil 500 Go Kart Track (150 Atlantic Drive, Maitland, 407-831-2045). It’s free to reserve a table and you can always grab a tub of ice cream and just do loops all afternoon with the kids.

Summer Event Picks W

e heard a rumor once that the rest of the country actually looks forward to summer. Up there, they go outdoors, run around and only have to deal with a moderate amount of sweat. Down here, though, we know the true nature of summer: It’s oppressively hot, it sticks around way past its welcome, and it somehow turns everything sticky. Still, there are lots of good reasons to leave your house this summer. We’ve combed our calendar for some things to look forward to, whether they’re cultural gatherings in (hopefully) shady parks, watching other people play sports, indoor foodie soirées or just a nice afternoon at the movies in Florida-grade air conditioning. Welcome to summer; it only feels like it lasts forever.

HOW 12 YEARS IN THE JUNGLES OF COSTA RICA INSPIRED THIS FATHER And now he’s designing a business model dedicated to empowering a sustainable future for his grandkids and yours!

im Gale is your average loving father—he likes to golf, explore nature, and spend quality time with his wife and four daughters. After selling his mortgage, which did over 1 billion dollars in revenue, Gale pursued his dream of moving to the jungle. While in Costa Rica, an opportunity arose for him to explore land development. The land he chose was a 280 acre cattle pasture, a.k.a. “a biological desert.” Gale’s vision was to turn it green again, lining the fairways with thousands of fruit trees over 100 tropical varieties. The first thing he built was a fruit tree nursery—but after several months of developing, he started hearing disapproval and rumors from the community. He traced the source of these rumors to a group of impassioned environmentalists who, in their own words, said they “hated developers.” Gale responded by inviting them into his office to hear their point of view. Intent on making peace by explaining his vision, he failed to win their hearts, but he learned something new—the concept of permaculture. Growing up, Gale loved nature so much that his friends teased him by calling him “Nature boy”, which is what inspired him to visit Costa Rica. Yet, he had never heard about permaculture before. He was intrigued, so in typical Gale style, he dove head first in to learn all about what permaculture is—an agricultural science de-

signed by Bill Mollison. “What Bill and others taught me about permaculture blew my mind and made me fall in love with the idea of sustainability,” Gale says. “That’s a word which is often misunderstood—it is defined as a system that produces more energy than it takes to create or maintain.” There were two motivations for digging into the science of permaculture

First, Gale learned through his permaculture studies that the current ways we harvest our food, fish, forests, and waters is massively unsustainable. In unsustainable systems, they eventually fail—100 percent of the time.

“I had my first daughter, Mia, 14 years ago, which compelled me to imagine what the world would look like from her point of view in 30 or 50 years. I loved my childhood, full of camping, boating, and enjoying nature. I thought to myself, “Would my daughters have a similar and wonderful experience? What is our world going to be like for her kids and my grandkids?” Thinking about that really hit me hard, so I decided to put all my energy toward solutions. Ever since, the question I’ve lived with is, “How?” In thinking of societies and economies that have collapsed, like the current situation in Venezuela, Gale says, “They have

abundant and rich land, yet many people are malnourished and starving because they counted on the government. Imagine if each family planted just one fruit tree every five years, at a cost of 20 minutes and 1 dollar, starting 30 years ago—they would have an abundance of food. A similar thing happened in the late 1980’s when Russia pulled out of Cuba—and now, out of necessity, it’s one of the most sustainable countries on Earth.” These teachings motivated Gale to look for ways to create abundance everywhere, at local and family levels. Today, Gale is the Founder and CEO of Mobile Greens Wellness, a business dedicated to empowering individuals and families by providing the tools, education, and inspiration for them to become more than just consumers—now they can be producers. “The give back is food forests everywhere. A portion of profits from each franchise goes to plant edible landscapes in public locations.” When it comes to sustainable food, fruit trees are the lowest hanging fruit

“It takes relatively few resources, like time and money, to get a fruit tree started. What they will yield over 50 to 80 years is an incredible return on the energy invested,” Gale says. Gale and his team developed a strategy to rapidly scale the vision of a sustainable society for our grandkids and beyond. Through Mobile Greens Wellness franchis-

ing, people learn about the financial and health benefits, and how easy it is to produce food, water, and energy at home. The franchise comes in two versions: 1 - The Empowered Home Mall Model can be placed in a mall, community center, or university that demonstrates the value of these technologies. 2 - The Empowered Tiny Home is a fully functioning tiny home (or business) that’s on wheels. It creates its own food, water, and energy. Gale is excited for the first system which opens at the Oviedo Mall in mid-July. He welcomes you and your family to come out and learn how to grow at home, produce solar energy, and more.

Are you crazy? It’s like a million degrees out there! OW STAFF

e’re not telling you anything you don’t already know, but … it’s hot as balls outside

right now. Apparently some people (page 21) need reminding that temperatures over 95 degrees at 100 percent humidity can be harmful to the human body, as well as the will to live. That’s why we’ve put together this list of indoors things to do that could reasonably be called things to do (unlike “lying on your couch eating ice cream”). So when it’s blazing hot, torrentially rainy or swarming with pestilential insects out there, you can still leave your air-conditioning … and go spend time in someone else’s air conditioning. See you on the other side, aka Christmas Day!

Check out interactive exhibits that transport you to dinosaur days or catch a movie in the Digital Adventure Theater.

ROCKETMAN

We’re in the spendgame now Hollywood wants what’s left of your savings BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER

ith a simple hand gesture, Iron Man literally snapped up half the money in the universe. But that leaves the other half for the makers of this summer’s remaining would-be blockbusters to try to vanish from your wallet. Here are all the leading contenders, grouped by category. (Just remember this is the movie business we’re talking about, which means all dates are as tentative as your chances of ever again experiencing human intimacy.) Post-Endgame superheroes: In Spider-Man: Far From Home (July 2), Peter Parker learns to navigate a world without Tony Stark. Does he have what it takes to be a leader, now that the Hulk is rivaling James Holzhauer on Jeopardy and Captain America can’t have a picnic without somebody calling the cops? Meanwhile, with the instantly obsolete X-Men: Dark Phoenix (June 7), Fox

earns the dubious distinction of having effed up the same revered comics story on two separate occasions. Winning! Disney remakes: Furthering the trend of this week’s live-action Aladdin (see orlandoweekly.com for Cameron Meier’s review), the House of Mouse gives us a new riff on The Lion King (July 19) that shoots for the verisimilitude of Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. Yeah, I’m officially over this whole thing. Can we just move on to animated remakes of live-action Disney Classics of the 1970s? Pixar’s The Strongest Man in the World: You didn’t know how much you needed it until I told you. Those wonderful toys: What more needs to be heard from Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the gang at this late date? We’ll find out in Toy Story 4 (June 21), in which Disney finally breaks out the big guns: a spork! If you like

your playthings more on the homicidal side, the Child’s Play remake bows the very same day, with Mark Hamill exercising the vocal chops he honed portraying previous psychopaths like the Joker and Donald Trump. Just five days later, on June 26, Annabelle Comes Home finds the evil doll enlisting a cadre of supernatural pals in her reign of terror. Look out, everybody: She’s got a spork! And with the LEGO franchise as inspiration, Playmobil: The Movie (Aug. 30) takes us into the world of the internationally popular German-made building toys. It’s always nice when my people can show off our structural efficiency to the world in a way that carries more fun and whimsy than the Third Reich. More for your damn kids: Louis CK lost his gig voicing the canine star of The Secret Life of Pets 2 (June 7), paving the way for that paragon of nontoxic masculinity, Patton Oswalt. Elsewhere, Leslie Jones and Nicki Minaj are among the new arrivals for The Angry Birds Movie 2 (Aug. 14); have fun explaining to Junior what they do for a living. Dora and the Lost City of Gold (Aug. 9) interprets the intrepid explorer in live action and as a teenager to boot, which is an even bigger gamble than sending her on an Incan adventure and counting on Stephen Miller to let her back into the country. Redband comedy: Stuber (July 12) targets the growing number of Americans who drive for Uber and Lyft to make some extra money, and exploits their fear that their next fare will plunge them into a nightmare of violence

and danger. Hey, how about a movie for those of us who are equally afraid of our drivers? Good Boys (Aug. 16) sets a couple of 12-year-olds on a downward spiral that’s initiated by their interest in kissing girls; it’s no surprise that Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are behind this thing, given that they’re more obsessed with reliving their awkward adolescences than Alvy Singer. Brittany Runs a Marathon (Aug. 23) ties a woman’s weight-loss regimen to her dream of, yep, running the New York Marathon. Hey, it’s safer than taking an Uber! Sci-fi, horror, and other dating apps: Men in Black: International (June 14) replaces its character front line while taking the act to Europe, and the only reason not to predict certain doom is that new leading man Chris Hemsworth has by now firmly established himself as a comedic presence. Godzilla: King of the Monsters (May 31) hauls out an all-star supporting cast that includes Rodan, Mothra, Ghidorah and just about every other vicious, merciless beast that’s ever come out of the Far East. Just not Constance Wu! On the same day, Ma has Octavia Spencer as the cool mom from hell, while Brahms: The Boy II (July 26) makes Katie Holmes the latest victim of the stunted psychopath who masquerades as an innocent little doll. Boy, bet she thought she was done with all that when she divorced Tom Cruise. Boss Level (Aug. 16) invokes the spirit of Cruise even more overtly, trapping Frank Grillo in a fatal time loop that sounds like pure Edge of Tomorrow. Finally, IT Chapter Two (Sept. 6) wraps up the saga of Pennywise the Clown, and I’m going to go out on a limb here and say those kids are totally gonna bone. Nostalgia trips: Rocketman (May 31) hopes to do for Elton John what Bohemian Rhapsody did for Freddie Mercury; if it works, look for The Wayne County Story in 2024. Shaft (June 14) is the third film to carry that name, and brings together all of the character’s incarnations: Richard Roundtree, Samuel L. Jackson and new recruit Jessie T. Usher. (Who?) The Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark book series from the ’80s finally reaches the big screen Aug. 9, in a feature that was originally supposed to be directed by Guillermo del Toro. He ended up

supplying the story template, which is better than we usually get from that big FOOLER! Rambo V: Last Blood (Sept. 20) sends the Reagan-era icon to Mexico to battle drug gangs, in a move that’s certain to ease tensions between our two countries as surely as Rocky IV hastened the end of the Cold War. Oh wait, it totally did! Favorite directors: Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die (June 14) has a dream cast that includes Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Steve Buscemi and Tom Waits. Even better, they’re supposed to be playing zombies this time. Quentin Tarantino is back with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (July 26); remember when we were all mad at him for having abused Uma Thurman nearly unto death? Boy, that was a helluva week! Finally, Richard Linklater makes Cate Blanchett disappear in Where’d You Go, Bernadette (Aug. 16). No, Quentin Tarantino, you cannot do the same thing with Uma Thurman. Poor taste: The sequel 47 Meters Down: Uncaged (Aug. 16) once again exploits the summer audience’s fear of sharks, its release hopefully coinciding with a few real-life fatal attacks that will help move tickets.

The Category 5-themed disaster flick Crawl was originally supposed to come out in August, at the height of Florida’s hurricane season, but it’s been moved up a month to July 12 by a studio that apparently knows nothing about show business. Angel Has Fallen (Aug. 23), the second sequel to Olympus Has Fallen, once again posits an attack on the U.S. president, which, come to think of it, now qualifies less as poor taste than as wish fulfillment. The XX factor: As in chromosomes. The eagerlyanticipated Late Night (June 7) has Emma Thompson as a talk-show host and Mindy Kaling as her first female staff writer. Hustlers (Sept. 13) puts Jennifer Lopez in charge of a bunch of ex-strippers who declare war on Wall Street. One of them is played by Constance Wu, who’s clearly happy to be taking on the kind of difficult and challenging dramatic work you can’t find in TV. Similarly, the 1970s period piece The Kitchen (Aug. 9) sees mob wives assuming responsibility for the family business. Sadly, they only get to steal 80 cents for every dollar. And featuring Helen Mirren: Every pensioner’s favorite set of bristols will be on display in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (Aug 2), the first spinoff from the internationally popular pedal-to-the-metal franchise. Dame Helen will also play a mentorship role in Anna (June 21), helping prove that the little black dress still exists just so Luc Besson has something to clothe his lady assassins in. Dramas, unclassifiable or otherwise D.O.A.: The highconcept comedy Yesterday (June 28) envisions a world in which the Beatles never existed – which I’m assuming means we’re still in Vietnam and everybody has hair like Bobby Vinton. Blinded by the Light (Aug. 14) tells the true story of a Pakistani-born journalist who worships Bruce Springsteen. (Why can’t I imagine a world without him?) And Downton Abbey (Sept. 20) continues the small-screen exploits of Lord Twatwaffle and Lady Phlegm, or whatever the hell their names are. To be honest, I don’t watch a lot of TV. Constance Wu told me it rots your mind. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

BEST OF THE FEST The best three shows our theater critic has seen this year BY S E TH KUBERSKY

o far the Orlando Weekly has published 38 of my Fringe Festival reviews, a personal best. These are three of my favorites, but go to orlandoweekly.com/ fringe2019 to read the rest – there are more great shows than just these three! THE ORLANDO FRINGE through Monday, May 27 Loch Haven Park orlandofringe.org DANDY DARKLY’S ALL ABOARD

Dandy Darkly’s All Aboard! Profane, profound and laugh-out-loud funny, this is exactly the kind of experience Fringe was invented for

andy Darkly (aka New York-based writer/performer Neil Arthur James) may look like Captain Spaulding raided Elton John’s closet and commandeered the Polar Express, but don’t judge this book by its glittering cover. In All Aboard, Darkly invites his audience on an express ride into the dark heart of gothic Georgia, where long-buried ghosts are still as close as the local superstore. Dandy’s prior Orlando performance featured fascinating but unconnected monologues; this time, he uses his melodious voice to weave a complex, continuous web which connects the KKK with capitalism, crappy kids’ television shows and Christianity. Darkly casts an enchanting incantation of alliterative language that dances along the border between spoken word poetry and musical performance art, as he projects a 3-D movie on your mental movie screen. His oral ornamentation is occasionally so dazzling that you become distracted from the darkness he’s delving into, but then the painful reality of American intolerance slaps you in the face. Grotesque, profane, profound and laugh-out-loud funny, Dandy Darkly’s All Aboard is exactly the kind of one-of-akind experience Fringe was invented for.

Animatronicans: Under New Management The Animatronicans will take you on the wildest ride at the Fringe Festival.

sually, when a beloved theme park attraction undergoes a major update, it emerges from refurbishment with the spark that once made it special ripped away (think the Enchanted Tiki Room, or Epcot’s original

Imagination pavilion.) But the Animatronicans are the exception that proves the rule, because the runaway stars of 2016’s Fringe are now Under New Management but funnier than ever before. The first installment of Animatronicans was like a pilot episode, establishing how four outdated robotic entertainers – Dreamfinder (Jeff Jones), Abe Lincoln (Josh Siniscalco), the Father from Carousel of Progress (Doug Ba’aser) and Maelstrom’s Polar Bear (James Keaton) – came to live together Golden Girls-style off Disney property. Now that the exposition is out of the way, they can dive right into a new wacky adventure with their technician pal Charlie (Brett Waldon); he introduces them to their latest roommate, the recently removed Redhead (Erin Cline) from Pirates of the Caribbean, then falls for their oversexed cat-loving neighbor, Susan (Janine Klein), in true sitcom style. At this point, the Animatronicans are Orlando Fringe celebrities, receiving ovations for every entrance and catchphrase utterance from an audience that rolls in the aisles at every obscure ride reference. But the creative team isn’t resting on their laurels, but rather has returned with a follow-up that improves and expands on the original in nearly every way. Jeff Jones’ knowing jabs – targeting Distwitter scandals, self-important vloggers and rides that are neither Fast nor Furious – are sharper than ever, and Michael Wanzie’s well-timed direction has the polished precision of a classic TV comedy. The ensemble is once again outstanding, and with the addition of Cline – whose mechanical mannerisms are even more hysterical here than in her award-winning robotic role last Fringe – this series should be renewed for several more seasons to come. Grab your E-Ticket (no FastPasses required) and please keep your hands and arms inside the theater at all times, because whether you’ve got a “Where’s Buzzy?” wanted poster on your wall, or simply don’t give a shit about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, The Animatronicans will take you on the wildest ride at the Fringe Festival.

show is sponsored in part by Attractions Magazine, which I write freelance articles for.]

How to Eat a Bear The most ill-conceived hunting expedition since Elmer Fudd declared it was “wabbit season”

ccording to the old adage, the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. Apparently the same cannot be said for bears, because the firsttime Fringe writing/directing/producing team of Luke Balagia and Mack Stine prove with How to Eat a Bear how delicious biting off more than you can chew can be. Balagia and Stine star as Mark and Dave, a pair of college-dropout dude-bros who are inspired by the old Apple II edutainment game Oregon Trail to sample some bear meat. After ill-fated attempts to secure ursine steaks from Publix and the local zoo, the bumbling duo set off into the woods on the most ill-conceived hunting expedition since Elmer Fudd declared it was “wabbit season.” In Mark and Dave, Balagia and Stine have created the millennial answer to Beavis and Butt-head, a classic comedic coupling of innocent ignoramuses who slouch in the proud footsteps of Cheech and Chong or Jay and Silent Bob ( just without the explicit stoner jokes). The show also sports a solid supporting trio (Danielle Burch, Brianna Barrett, and Paul Ebert as the necktie-wearing bear), some superbly stupid props and even a supportive message about perseverance, no matter how perverse your pipe dream. Balagia and Stine’s script successfully straddles the line between dark satire and cartoonish slapstick, and apart from a slow segment at the half-hour mark, they mostly manage to maintain their manic momentum right through the musical finale. If you’ve got a healthy hunger for lowbrow humor, How to Eat a Bear is this Fringe’s must-see carnivore comedy.

[ food + drink ] EOLA GENERAL

BY FAIYAZ KARA

522 E. Amelia St. 407-723-8496 eolageneral.com $

PHOTOS BY ROB BARTLETT

EATING GOOD IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD Five-star general store leads a charge with local food products and damn fine eats BY FAIYAZ KARA

n independent convenience store has stood on the residential corner of East Amelia Street and Cathcart Avenue in Eola Heights for the better part of 80 years, and thanks to Sean Kelley (Henry’s Depot), Shaun Noonan (Dixie Dharma) and Joe Roberti (Grain & Ember), one will continue to stand for the foreseeable future. When neighborhood fixture Handy Pantry announced their closing last year, the trio purchased, revamped and reconcepted the corner store as Eola General, touting it as a “one-stop picnic shop.” There are plenty of interesting wines from Curate’s Matt Uva, and varieties of cheese from La Femme du Fromage. There are even cute wicker picnic baskets for sale. But where were the snorkels? The crossbows? The pantyhose? Clearly general stores are not as general as they once were. Granted, without the benefit of a fryer, range or hood, the kitchen is limited to making sammies and boards. So, on a particularly muggy day, we got a plate ($9) of house-pickled veggies (asparagus, okra, cukes, green beans, curried cauliflower) and peaches and pleasurably picked away out front on the dog-friendly patio. We got a

board of housemade beef jerky ($9), too, the thin cuts of top round marinated in pineapple, brown sugar and chili flakes. It’s served with a side of pickled chow (radicchio, cabbage and onion) and boiled peanuts that we couldn’t get enough of. The thicker cuts from the same slab of top round are rubbed with herbes de Provence, then roasted in a toaster oven before being sliced for the French dip ($12.99), and a great French dip it is with caramelized onions, horseradish crema and a melty blend of cheese in a baguette procured from the Tribeca Oven in Jersey. The leftover beefy bits and collected veg trimmings form the foundation of a very credible jus. All sandwiches are served with a side and with kettle chips that Eola General purchases then seasons with paprika, salt and a bit of orange zest. Of those sides, the potato salad

OPENINGS Look for Grounding Roots to open their second juice bar inside the Grove at Winter Park plaza on Aloma Avenue

was overly smoky, and neither the pasta salad nor the root vegetables enhanced the other two sandwiches we ordered – one of which was an utterly gratifying (and vegan) Buffalo cauliflower ($12) with braised greens, seasoned tomatoes and a citrus-cilantro-cashew sauce served on marble rye. The other, dubbed “The Messy General” ($12.99), had braised barbecue chicken between a cornbread and cayenne waffle and, yes, the sandwich lives up to its name. There are bagels and breakfast sliders and plenty of Wavelength Coffee for early risers, including a nitro cold brew ($4) on tap. There are pastries from Buttermilk Bakery (including those addictive blueberry cheesecake pop tarts), stroopwafels from Gezellig Cookies, juices from Juice Bar and a host of products from local outfits – the Nutty Peanut, Sweets Babs Sauces, Living VitaliTea Kombucha, Lake Meadow Naturals and more. In a market where large chains dominate the convenience store landscape, it’s nice to see an independent, locally run option. (I’d be as happy as a snorkelin’, pantyhosewearing archer if there was an Eola General in my neighborhood.) So if you’re downtown and need to stop at Wawa or 7-Eleven for a gallon of milk or a quick bite, allow me to point you in this General direction. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

JALEO Chef/humanitarian José Andrés brings his tapas concept to Disney Springs with much fanfare and it lives up to the hype. From sharable plates of pata negra and paella to grilled meats (the secreto is a must), the food – much like the 22,000-square-foot restaurant’s avant-garde and expressionist design – is impressive. Two different chef’s tasting menus are offered, and worth the splurge. Open daily. Disney Springs, 1482 Buena Vista Drive, 321-348-3211; $$$$

HINCKLEY’S FANCY MEATS Matt Hinckley, a champion of responsible agricultural practices, brings a wealth of experience to his East End Market meat shop, where his display case of smoked meats, terrines, rillettes and pâtés often stops folks in their tracks. Some mighty fine sandwiches can be had too, notably the crackling porchetta on ciabatta, a banh mi with duck liver pâté, and a bubbe-worthy pastrami on rye.

BUSTER’S BISTRO Convivial Belgian gastropub in the heart of Sanford’s historic district has an amazing selection of Belgian brews on tap and by the bottle. Hearty dishes make fine accompaniments to all that beer, none more so than the short rib carbonnade. A deconstructed vol-au-vent’s got flavor, as does the poutine. Closed Mondays. 300 Sanford Ave., Sanford, 407-732-6880; $$

BAANCHAN THAI East Orlando Thai joint delivers a bit of the traditional (the pad Thai is solid) with a few dishes to lure the intrepid diner, like fried seasoned quail eggs; “Thai heaven beef,” aka fried beef jerky; and duck ramen in a lemongrass broth cloaking infernal red-hot chilis. Creamy Thai tea makes a great palliator. Closed Mondays. 10725 E. Colonial Drive, 407-270-8448; $ CONTINUED ON PAGE 77

FOREVER NAAN

From-scratch curries highlight this small Curry Ford Road curry shop, though the samosas, delicately fried and not thickskinned, deserve praise as well. Coming soon is an expanded menu of Indian street snacks (think pani puri and kebab rolls) and vegan offerings. Closed Mondays and Saturdays. 4205 Curry Ford Road, 407601-0835; $

SUSURU

The nostalgia-packed decor of this attractions-area izakaya dazzles as much as the brilliant menu of yakitori, ramen and small bites. Of note are the skewered chicken thighs and chicken skin, as well as the tubular chicken meatball drizzled with your choice of five sauces. Short rib, Kurobuta pork-honey sausage and even Brussels sprouts benefit from binchotan grilling. Don’t pass up the street corn nor the hamachi collar. Cocktails come cameraready. Closed Monday. 8548 Palm Parkway, 407-778-4813; $

VERANDA RESTAURANT

The veranda-less Veranda presents Eastern European cuisine from Moldova and Romania, from such peasant staples as mamliga (polenta cakes served with salty cheese crumbles and sour cream) to Ottoman-influenced meat rolls and mince patties. For the less adventurous, Italian dishes (think pastas and pizzas) are also offered. Open daily. 1700 W. Sand Lake Road, 407-730-9190; $$

DOMU CHIBI

Waits can get long at this “quick casual” offshoot of the highly lauded Domu, but you’ll get legit bowls of ramen for under $10. Noodles aren’t made in house (they’re from the respected Sun Noodle) as they are at Domu’s flagship, but the broths and bases, like the 18-hour tonkotsu, certainly are. Rice bowls and smaller bites like gyoza and fries are offered too. Open daily. 869 N. Alafaya Trail, 407-730-7260; $

MENAGERIE EATERY & BAR

From the folks who brought you the Stubborn Mule and RusTeak comes the Menagerie, an eclectic joint with an equally eclectic menu that criss-crosses international culinary boundaries. You’ll find everything from Taiwanese Night Market chicken to curried cauliflower served with pisco sour relish to fried cod crusted in Frosted Flakes. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Sunday brunch until 3 p.m. 101 S. Eola Drive, 407-601-5358; $$

THE RAMEN

This humble ramen joint by Suichi Tanida, the former chef at Epcot’s Mitsukoshi Restaurant, gives downtowners a healthy dose of traditional tonkotsu, shoyu and miso ramen. Don’t overlook gratifying donburi rice bowls or takoyaki. A handful of vegan options are offered. Closed Sunday. 486 N. Orange Ave., 407-233-4801; $$ n

OPENING THIS WEEK: Aladdin When Disney’s animated Aladdin premiered in 1992, a publicist called me to breathlessly extol its many virtues – except for one element not even she herself could countenance: “The parrot is played by that incredibly annoying comedian, Gilbert Gottfried.” I was amazed that somebody who was being paid to talk up a movie would slip in that kind of a dig. When I responded that I myself actually love Gilbert, the line went dead for a good few moments. So while everybody else is focusing on what an inferior substitute Will Smith is going to make for Robin Williams in this week’s apparently unnecessary live-action remake, I myself am toeing a different line: No Gilbert, no peace. I mean, Alan Tudyk is fine and all, but can’t we just get him into a second Firefly feature and leave the legacy of Iago unsullied? I’m sure that bird has some thoughts about the late Hugh Hefner your kids would benefit greatly from hearing. (To learn our Cameron Meier’s thoughts on these and other pressing issues, read his review of the new Aladdin at orlandoweekly.com.) (PG)

Booksmart Olivia Wilde makes her directorial debut with a comedic portrait of two high-school goody-goodies who regret all the fun they missed out on and resolve to make it up to themselves – in a single night. Critics like The New Yorker’s Anthony Lane are already praising the movie for subverting our expectations of such an adventure. But doesn’t a statement like that betray a fundamental misremembering of the high school experience? As a teenager in New Jersey, I had no expectations of anything whatsoever – whether it was a good time on graduation night, a rosy professional future or a 10-year reunion to be held anywhere nicer than family court. So you do you, Olivia and Anthony, but if you think “fun” should even be on the table, I wanna see your yearbook. (R) Brightburn Brightburn is being referred to as a James Gunn film. But he merely coproduced it, leaving the directing to David Yarovesky and the writing to his brothers, Brian and Mark Gunn. I’d say this picture has more Gunns than a Florida elementary

school, but ol’ James doesn’t need my help losing another gig. Anyway, the movie is a sinister riff on a certain American pop-cultural legend, with an alien child landing in the life of a receptive surrogate mother, who gradually discovers her adopted son is not a Superman but something far more toxic. (“There’s something more toxic?” – Zack Snyder.) Oh, and the mother is played by Elizabeth Banks. Remember her high-profile role at the 2016 Democratic National Convention? Seems she knows a bit about wanting something desperately and getting an apocalyptically inclined man-child instead. (R)

“It never struck me as being nonmusical. So all these sounds are fair game to be a part of my musical practice.” Transmissions from Sputnik, German radio communications from World War II and the Cold War, and Hurricane Sandy have all made their ghostly way into Gosfield’s performances and recordings over the years. Perhaps Gosfield’s most audacious use of weaving broadcasts into live performance was as part of her ambitious, operatic reimagining of The War of the Worlds radio-play in 2017 in Los Angeles. An immersive opera that took place simultaneously in L.A.’s Walt Disney Concert Hall and three outside parking lots, and enlisted fearsome talent like the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Sigourney Weaver playing the broadcaster, this was a very new spin on the classic, panic-inducing radio broadcast masterminded by Orson Welles in 1938. “It’s originally a radio broadcast that was supposed to be taking place during a program of big band music, and reporters kept cutting in,” she explains. “So as Martians are being spotted attacking Los Angeles, we have reports coming in from our on-thestreet sites. They were radioed back into the concert hall. The Los Angeles Philharmonic was playing along with, for example, Mrs. Martinez, a restaurant owner, being interviewed by the meteorologist from the local radio station.” Unique and challenging collaborations are the name of the game for Gosfield. She’s called New York home for several decades, and fully availed herself of the collaborative chance encounters that are more the norm than the exception there. From Laurie Anderson to John Zorn to (ahem) Christopher Walken, Gosfield has aided and abetted them all. “Sometimes people are difficult and sometimes people are demanding,” she reflects, “but if you really believe in your collaborator’s art, it’s still worth pursing.” Get a crash course in the engaging and challenging compositions of Annie Gosfield this Friday night; from punk bands to immersive operas, it’s been one hell of a journey. “I came up playing live and I come from a family of musicians. So the physical experience of playing music is very important to me,” she says. “I wouldn’t be who I am as a composer if I hadn’t started as a performer.” mmoyer@orlandoweekly.com MAY 22-28, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

BY B AO L E - H U U TAPE STUDIES | PHOTO BY JIM LEATHERMAN

This week, one act turns pastiche

into a party, another gives Orlando a live sneak peek at her upcoming new album, and a young local band manages to get an art music series to let its hair down and get a little indie.

TAPE STUDIES, CITYARTS, MAY 13

The vanguard In-Between Series has such an established tradition of avantgarde music that Tape Studies – who were the feature at the most recent edition of this monthly event – seem almost square by comparison. Not to give anyone an unnecessary complex or anything, but I’ve seen performers use things like potted plants and water as instruments here. That’s not to say, however, that this relatively new Orlando band are unworthy. On the contrary, they were a nice balance to the series’ usually unflinching esotericism. Tape Studies may be conventional next to some of the performers that have played the In-Between Series, but their instrumental music is anything but dumb commercial stuff. Rendered with rock instruments, electronics and electric cello, it’s a sound that comes from the beautiful side of post-rock. Though they started on a tranquil wavelength of suspended shimmer, the journey of their set became increasingly panoramic, flashing alternating passages of ignition and near-shoegaze thrust. In fact, even though it was exciting to see a gallery get rocked like this, Tape Studies showed enough charged tectonics in their sound that a proper rock club is probably the best milieu in which to experience their sonic range. In the post-rock spectrum, Tape Studies play more on the dramatic end with clear melodic and dynamic intent.

Tape Studies started on notes of suspended shimmer, but the journey of their set became increasingly panoramic, flashing alternating passages of ignition and nearshoegaze thrust

Where more ambient peers weave vibe, this Orlando trio instead paint with definition and make their point with sharpness. The open audience Q&A after the performance is a somewhat regular feature of the In-Between Series and it is always illuminating. But, as a direct glimpse into the performers’ artistic DNA and background, having one for a startup local band like this is especially valuable.

TV GIRL AND YOHUNA, SOUNDBAR, MAY 15

West Coast indie-pop band TV Girl sure know how to light up a room. Well, yeah, there was good stage lighting at their Orlando concert, but their music and mien are what set this absolutely packed house on a party cloud. Working the nostalgic palette of Saint Etienne with the playful funkiness of the Avalanches, these three indie bros recontextualize and remix 1960s pop effervescence like beat junkies. Beaming with bright color and chill breaks that kick much more live than on record, their jams are a tailormade cocktail for good times.

On stage, their performance was lively and frontman Brad Petering’s banter was comedic poetry. Shake it all up together and they had everyone cooling out in the same sparkling pool. Much more sedate and earnest, but no less enjoyable, was the opening set by Yohuna. Besides being a phonetic spelling of the correct way to pronounce her first name, Yohuna is the nom de plume of itinerant American songwriter and producer Johanne Swanson. Although her performance was simpler and more sober than the party boys of TV Girls, it was a generous advance of her forthcoming album Mirroring, which doesn’t officially drop until June 7 on Orchid Tapes/Fear of Missing Out Records. It’s a record to anticipate because for this artist it’s both a pivot and a real blossoming. It could even prove to be a threshold work for her. On it, Yohuna emerges from her synth origins like never before with a conspicuously wider sonic lens and instrumental vocabulary that even stretches out to orchestral finishes. More fundamentally still, it’s an album that shows off the growing confidence and lucidity of her hooks. But even if this economical solo set didn’t quite capture her broad new instrumental horizon, it did showcase Yohuna’s deepening melodic contours and the angelic warmth of her voice. Unlike many other slow-pop specialists, the airy altitude that Yohuna achieves is never in jeopardy of evaporating. And even though her drift is calm and reflective, it’s never a bummer or, worse, a bore. Yohuna is making indiepop of elegant introspection that’s now speeding toward a point of crystallization and finesse.

The Billy Manes Legacy Mural Unveiling Party ART

PHOTO BY ROB BARTLETT

Billy Manes, the activist, mayoral candidate, and longtime Orlando Weekly writer, passed away in 2017, and he took a little bit of the city’s heart with him. Now his heart’s being channeled – along with his impact on Orlando and his signature white-blond coif – by artists Michael Pilato and Yuriy Karabash into a mural in Thornton Park. Come bask in Billy’s radiance as the mural is unveiled tonight, and take solace in knowing that you can now do so any time you need to, day or night. – Jessica Bryce Young 8 p.m. | Burton’s Thornton Park, 801 E.

Joe Jackson MUSIC

7 p.m. | The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave. | 407-228-1220 | plazaliveorlando.com | $39-$70

PHOTO BY JACOB BLICKENSTAFF

New wave also-ran Joe Jackson has made himself a successful second-act career based on his musical chops. The 64-year-old Brit has always had a toe in musical waters more esoteric than the general pop landscape – see his 1982 jazz-disco hit “Steppin’ Out” for example – and he ended up ditching pop completely for a period in the late ’90s. His most recent album, Fool, is his bestperforming album in years, and relies on merging Jackson’s masterful songwriting with his love of improvisational jazz performance. This current tour is focused on showing off Jackson’s accomplishments over four decades of music, meaning you’re absolutely going to hear the hits. – Thaddeus McCollum

Chef’s Night at Second Harvest Food Bank EVENTS

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

If you’re going to stuff your face, it should at least A) do some good and B) be really, really good food. Second Harvest’s second Chef’s Night of 2019 fills the bill on both counts: A) proceeds benefit their culinary training program, which provides students the skills to obtain an entry-level position in the food service industry, and B) features creations by noteworthy local professional chefs Jason Wolfe, Scott Pizzo, Anukul Hampton, Alberto Navarrete and Rabii Saber. Those creations include heirloom tomato salad with locally made burrata, wine-braised short rib with English pea and celery root puree, and a dessert that incorporates Florida blueberries, a lemon cremeux and a pistachio white-chocolate crunch.

Orlando Urban Film Festival: The Groveland Four FILM

A documentary film on the Groveland Four – four black men who were falsely accused in 1949 of raping a white woman in Lake County – is one of the highlights of the Orlando Urban Film Festival this year. Seventy years ago, 17-year-old Norma Padgett accused Charles Greenlee, Walter Irvin, Samuel Shepherd and Ernest Thomas of sexually assaulting her, though medical records later released acquitted the four men of the charge. One of the young men was hunted down and killed by a white mob following the false accusation. The rest would spend decades in prison before their innocence was finally proven. Although the last of the four men passed away in 2012, Gov. Ron DeSantis and the executive clemency board unanimously pardoned them earlier this year. – Xander Peters 11 a.m. | University of Central Florida Center for Emerging Media, 500 W.

Astral Blackout MUSIC

When it comes to a total immersion live music experience, we’re all in. And we’ve heard some very intriguing things about what the organizers of the first (of what will hopefully be an event series) Astral Blackout have planned to do in order to create a truly “heavenly” musical experience at the Nook on Robinson. Even if these extracurriculars don’t pan out, the fact is that you’ll be getting a free show courtesy of solo guitar orchestra Dearest, the haunting and hurting Julee Bruise and – what’s this – another new Acoqui spin-off project, Zoros. The stars have never shone more brightly in the Milk District. – Matthew Moyer with Dearest, Julee Bruise, Zoroz | 9 p.m. | The Nook on Robinson, 2432 E.

Massacre MUSIC

Central Florida has blessed the world with more than its share of underground metal worthies – Obituary, Morbid Angel and Nocturnus, to name a few – but, for our money, one of the undisputed greats would have to be Massacre. Massacre, helmed by death metal OGs guitarist Rick Rozz and vocalist Kam Lee – also infamous from stints in cult legends Mantas and, of course, Death – birthed one of the classic albums of the death metal genre with the 1991 release of From Beyond. The album still sounds fresh and challenging to this day, lean and streamlined, catchy and (yes) brutal, bursting with signature Rozz riffs and Lee’s subterranean bellow. Orlando Weekly still treasures our cassette copy of this album, down to the unsettling Ed Repka-rendered aliens on the cover. Their reputation and influence only grew over the years, and now 2019 sees Lee and Rozz reconvening the band, along with original Massacre bassist Mike Borders and drummer Mike Mazzonetto, to the delight of a cult following slavering for their return to the stage. Big-time festival gigs have already been lined up in far-off locales from Germany to Peru to Puerto Rico. This Orlando show is a warm-up, a musical flex, for their headlining slot on the Fuck the Commerce fest in Germany. This is the only Florida date scheduled for the band thus far, and pretty much the only one on this intimate a scale. Head over to Discogs, snap up the Tyrants of Death comp and do your homework. – MM with Druid Lord, Sadistic Vision, False Prophet, Viedma | 8 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N.

Cult Classics: Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome MUSIC

George Miller’s original Mel Gibson-starring Mad Max trilogy concluded in 1985 with Beyond Thunderdome; he had to wait 30 years to make the triumphant comeback powerhouse Mad Max: Fury Road with Tom Hardy in the title role. Whether that was because Thunderdome was a success or a failure is up for debate. The postapocalyptic Australian outback is given more life and detail than in the first two films, 1979’s Mad Max and 1981’s The Road Warrior. Indeed, this vision of life after civilization collapses has influenced everything from the Fallout series of video games to Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road. But it sacrificed some of the earlier films’ focus on the fragility of human civilization in favor of big, Hollywood-style action sequences. It also gave Mel Gibson’s acting career a huge boost, and we all know what a mistake that turned out to be. That said, Tina Turner’s scenery- and soundtrackchewing performance as Bartertown ruler Aunty Entity is still worth the price of admission. – Thaddeus McCollum 9:30 p.m. | Enzian Theater, 1300 S.

“HARD FEELINGS”

I keep running into the same issue with my best friend of five years. (She’s also my maid of honor at my upcoming wedding.) We’re both empaths – most of my friends are – and we’re both in therapy working on how to cope with that. I have severe anxiety that impacts my physical health, so one of the empath-related issues I’m working on is not following through with plans when I need to take time alone. My friend claims she understands this but my actions severely impact her mood. Example: We’ll make tentative plans to get together, I’ll feel too sick to follow through, and then she’s in a negative emotional spiral for days. The final straw came when she called me late this past Friday night – just once, with no subsequent voice mail, text message or follow-up call. On Monday morning, I sent her a text message asking how her weekend was and got an icy reply. Evidently, something happened to her on Friday, she called me for support, and my failure to return her call left her feeling very upset. I apologized for the accidental trigger and tried to lay down some protocols for reaching out in an emergency situation (leave me a voice mail and send a follow-up text) so I know it’s urgent. She hasn’t replied. I’m really frustrated. She has a lot of baggage around being shamed for being emotional, so I try to be careful not to invalidate her feelings, but I don’t know if that’s even making a difference. We’ve had several conflicts over the last year, always triggered by something I did or said, almost always accidentally, that caused her to “take a step back.” She insists she understands I’m doing my best to be a good friend while also working through my own emotional shit. But that’s not the sense I’m getting. I’m feeling increasingly like it’s impossible to be a human being AND her friend. Until recently, I had zero emotional boundaries and made myself available to her at a moment’s notice to help shoulder her emotional burden. But now that I’m trying to be more conservative with my abundance and take better care of myself, it seems like all I do is hurt her. What the fuck do I do? I’ve tried to be open-minded and patient with her dramatic mood swings, but she seems unable to give me the benefit of the doubt, which I always try to give her. This rocky ground between us is adding more stress to the whole wedding situation. (You’re supposed to be able to rely on your maid of honor, right?) This thing we have is not sustainable as it is, although I love her deeply. Help me figure this out? Emotions Making Personal Affection Too Hard

“EMPATH’s moods seem overly dependent on what the other person does,” says Gottlieb. “That’s not being ‘an empath.’ Most people are empathetic, which isn’t the same as what these two are doing. They’re drowning in each other’s feelings. This is what pop culture might call co-dependency, and what in therapy we’d call an attachment issue.” From your letter, EMPATH, it sounds like you might be ready to detach from your friend – you mentioned a final straw and described the relationship as not sustainable – and detaching would resolve this attachment issue. “This feels less like a friendship and more like a psychodrama where they’re each playing out their respective issues,” Gottlieb says. “A friendship isn’t about solving another person’s emotional issues or being the container for them. It isn’t about being devastated by another person’s feelings or boundaries. It should be a mutually fulfilling relationship, not being co-therapists to each other. In a strong friendship, each person can handle her own emotions rather than relying on the friend to regulate them for her.” Gottlieb started writing an advice column because, unlike psychotherapists, advice columnists are supposed to tell people what to do. I’m guessing your therapist mostly asks questions and gently nudges, EMPATH, but since Gottlieb has her advice-columnist hat on today and not her psychotherapist hat, I asked her to tell you what to do. “She should act more like a friend than a therapist/caretaker,” Gottlieb says. “She shouldn’t treat her friend or herself as if they’re too fragile to handle basic communication or boundaries. And they should both be working out their issues with their respective therapists, not with each other.” And if you decide to keep this woman in your life (and your wedding party), EMPATH, you’ll both have to work on – sigh – your communication skills. “Right now, they don’t seem to know how to communicate directly with each other,” says Gottlieb. “It’s either an icy text or complaining to outside parties about each other. But when it comes to how they interact with each other, they’re so careful, as if one or both might break if they simply said, ‘Hey, I really care about you and I know sometimes you want to talk about stuff, but sometimes it feels like too much and maybe something you can talk to your therapist about.’” Lori Gottlieb’s new book, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, is a New York Times best seller.

Being so attuned to other people’s emotional states that you feel their pain – being an empath – sounds exhausting. But Lori Gottlieb, a psychotherapist in private practice, isn’t convinced your empath superpowers are the problem here.

Why head south, CANTGO? Even if you’ve lived in Canada all your life, you couldn’t possibly have explored every corner of your beautiful country. But if you absolutely, positively must board the Titanic – excuse me, if you must visit the United States – take a hard right after you cross the border and head west instead. Enjoy Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, check out some of those lakes they’re always talking about in Minnesota, speed through the Dakotas, Montana, and the skinniest part of Idaho, and pretty soon you’ll be in Washington State, where a woman’s right to choose is enshrined in the state constitution. The summers are lovely, we’ve got hiking trails that will take you to mountain lakes, and Democrats control both houses of the state legislature and the governor’s mansion, so you won’t have to check the news every day when you’re in Seattle. CONFIDENTIAL TO EVERYONE: Antichoice, anti-woman, anti-sex bills have been rammed through Republican-controlled state legislatures in Ohio, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Utah, Mississippi and Alabama. “The new wave of anti-abortion laws suggests that a post-Roe America won’t look like the country did before 1973, when the court case was decided,” Michelle Goldberg wrote in the New York Times. “It will probably be worse.” If these bills are declared constitutional – a real possibility now – doctors will be jailed, women who have miscarriages will be prosecuted, and many forms of birth control will be banned. If you’re as pissed off as I am – and anyone who isn’t can piss right off – please make sure you and all your friends are registered to vote so you can vote out anti-choice state legislators and governors in 2020. To be clear: Right now, abortion remains legal in all 50 states. So you don’t have to wait until next November to send a “fuck you” to red-state Republicans pushing these laws. Make a donation to an organization that helps women obtain abortions in red states – like the Yellowhammer Fund in Alabama (yellowhammerfund.org), Gateway Women’s Access Fund in Missouri (gwaf. org), and Women Have Options in Ohio (womenhaveoptions.org).
