Readers react to blog posts and stories from the Sept. 26 issue. On Sept. 28, we reported that, despite their agonizing about the heartbreak they felt listening to Christine Blasey Ford describe how U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh allegedly smothered her screams and tried to rape her, Sen. Marco Rubio and Gov. Rick Scott would still choose to confirm him anyway. @Charla Childers The bottom line for me was the belligerent, dodgy and disrespectful display he put on after his opening statement, which was way too angry and partisan to begin with; by avoiding questions and being so partisan and snarky, he disqualified himself. If he were a presiding judge in any courtroom where someone was acting/talking like that, he’d have thrown them in jail. He shouldn’t be on the highest court in the land if he can’t be objective, reasonable and respectful no matter the circumstances – that is the whole job he is applying for. @Anne Zorn-Harrison Truly disgraceful. I will act accordingly at the polls. True leaders

remove their selfish agendas and focus on the people they represent/lead. @Lorelai Gilbert Of course. Those two can’t wait to limit reproductive rights for women and keep minorities from voting. On Sept. 27, we published a report on how Gov. Rick Scott, who’s term-limited, reasserted his right to appoint three new justices to the state Supreme Court before he leaves office in January. Scott hopes to select replacements for three justices, who are leaving the court after having reached the mandatory retirement age. @Beth Griffith Why are all our political leaders criminals? @John Lippincott Boohoo, liberals. Looks like the courts, both here and in Washington, D.C., are going to be red for a while. @DJuna McCoy Doby Living within the lie. @Joshua Thompson That’s not what he said about Merrick Garland.

UCF extends tuition break for displaced students, Orange County schools set medical marijuana policy, and other news you may have missed last week. »

Orlando Police officers kill ORMC patient who claimed to have gun: Orlando Police officers shot and killed a patient at Orlando Regional Medical Center who told hospital staff he had a gun. The suspect was not in fact armed, according to Chief John Mina. The ORMC emergency room was locked down Monday morning as law enforcement responded to staff reports of a white male patient in his 30s claiming to have a gun. Mina said the man, whose name has not been released, was transported from downtown Orlando to ORMC with a medical condition. He appeared calm until he got to the hospital and started telling staff he had a gun and would “shoot anyone who came near him,” Mina said. When officers approached the man, Mina says the suspect made movements “consistent with retrieving a firearm from within his waistband” before he was fatally shot by three officers.

Puerto Rico governor endorses Bill Nelson, Andrew Gillum: Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló endorsed U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, Rep. Stephanie Murphy and Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum in their respective races Monday. Nelson, an incumbent Democrat, is running for re-election against Republican Gov. Rick Scott. Rosselló acknowledged his friendship with Scott, especially in the catastrophic aftermath of Hurricane María, but pointed out Nelson’s extensive work in Congress to help the island. “This decision was a tough decision for myself,” Rosselló said in Orlando. “Gov. Scott has also been a friend, but I am here, in spite of that, because I believe in Bill Nelson. I am grateful for his long-standing relationship for the people of Puerto Rico, and I am proud to say that I am endorsing Bill Nelson, once again, for being a senator of Florida and helping the people of Puerto Rico.”

UCF extends tuition break for displaced students from Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands: The University of Central Florida is extending in-state tuition until 2023 for students from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands displaced by Hurricane María. The school’s board of trustees voted to allow about 250 displaced students to pay in-state tuition instead of out-of-state tuition, which is much more expensive. The policy applies to students already enrolled at UCF or students enrolled in a state college who later transfer to the school, until the spring.

Orange, Volusia schools among first in Florida allowing students to use medical cannabis: Orange and Volusia County public schools will now let students use prescribed medical marijuana on school grounds. School boards from both counties made the decision last week and are among the first school districts in Florida to do so. Orange County students with documented prescriptions for marijuana will need a designated caregiver not affiliated with the school to provide the medicine. In Volusia, students will also need a caregiver not affiliated with the school to provide the medicine in a location decided by the school’s principal.

Florida among top 5 states for highest rates of syphilis among newborns: Florida ranks No. 5 for the highest rates of babies born with syphilis infections passed on by their mothers, according to a recently released report from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Across the country, the number of newborns with syphilis spiked from 362 cases in 2013 to 918 in 2017. That’s the highest number of recorded cases in 20 years, according to the CDC. Florida reported 93 cases of congenital syphilis in 2017, up from 60 cases the year before. The Sunshine State’s rate for babies born with syphilis was about 41.3 cases per 100,000 births, while the national average is 23.3 cases per 100,000 births. orlandoweekly.com

Welcome to “Who’s Up, Who’s Down,” a scatter-graph in which we rank Sunshine State pols’ behavior each week. Candidate making crowd-savvy moves? Elected official got a case of foot-in-mouth disease? Read about it here.

SEN. BILL NELSON: OK, we know we’re hard on Nelson, who’s been referred to in this column as “Sen. Pee-Paw.” But we’ll give him a pass this time, since the three-term Democratic senator announced late last week that he’d vote “no” on Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court. It’s not as if we expected Nelson to vote otherwise in the hyper-partisan dumpster fire that the confirmation hearings have become, but it’s still worth pointing out since Nelson’s midterm opponent, Gov. Rick Scott, said he’d vote to confirm an alleged sexual predator to a lifetime appointment to the nation’s highest court.

ANNA ESKAMANI: We love a good potty-mouth – you bet your fuck-fuckfuckety-goddamn ass we do! But the Florida GOP can’t say the same, and they’ve continued to send out mailers and create TV ads about first-time state House candidate Eskamani’s vocabulary while speaking as an activist at rallies and public events. Apparently they’re trying to paint Eskamani, who has said things like “shit” and “damn” and “fuck the patriarchy,” as obscene. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, folks. What makes the GOP feel like they have the moral high ground? After all, aren’t they the ones who’ve attempted true obscenities, such as attempting to take away sick people’s health care?

GOV. RICK SCOTT: Like a tick on a dog’s ear, leave it to Scott to pounce on every political opportunity. In a press release last week, Scott arrogantly stated that Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who’s been accused of sexual misconduct by several women, deserves to be confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Yep, the same Scott who’s essentially taken the “let’s not and say we did” approach to the end of his tenure as governor is already commenting on what he would do if he were in the U.S. Senate, which, may we remind you, he hasn’t even been elected to (ugh, yet). A Quinnipiac poll last week found that Scott is seven points behind his midterm opponent, Sen. Bill Nelson – so, for all that is holy and not named “Rick Scott,” let’s hope the Democratic senator’s lead stays that way through November.

U.S. REP. RON DESANTIS: DeSantis’ campaign for governor is hands-down one of the sloppiest pieces of political work we’ve ever had the misfortune to witness. He can’t even properly defend himself when called out for kicking it with racists – in fact, he almost had an anger-induced aneurysm during a news conference in Oldsmar early last week. “Oh no, [Gillum] gets his zone of protection. So it’s a double standard. It’s an attempt to create a narrative,” DeSantis whined to reporters, saying he feels the media is making his campaign seem more racially charged than it actually is. A tip, Ronzo: Stop doing racist stuff.

Voters and villains With the threat of election interference seemingly omnipresent, this is how the process went awry in 2016 — and the damage it’s done leading up to November BY XA N DER P E T ER S

n Jan. 6, 2017, less than two weeks before the dawn of the Trump era, the Obama administration designated the country’s election infrastructure as “critical.” The move was meant to add federal protections to voting systems. More important, it coincided with a report from the U.S. intelligence community detailing its assessment that the Russian government undertook an elaborate – and ultimately successful – cyber warfare campaign to boost Donald Trump into the White House. In the ensuing months and years, as more has come to light regarding the foreign actors’ intentions, more has also come to light about our election process’ flaws: not just gerrymandering and the gradual chipping away of voting rights, but the more acute, dire threat to each election’s actual results. According to the Trump administration, 21 states’ election systems were compromised or probed during 2016, though officials insist no votes were changed. Only one of those states – Illinois – has publicly acknowledged a “malicious

cyberattack.” And while Florida is among them, its officials continue to deny any tampering. Not surprisingly, perhaps, the issue has become partisan. For President Trump and his base, any evidence that his victory was aided by Russians is an attack on his legitimacy, so there’s little incentive to acknowledge it as a real problem, let alone treat it like a real threat. For everyone else, foreign interference planted seeds of doubt that a system long held to be sacrosanct was perhaps not always on the level. “I think the worst-case scenario is what is currently happening, which is voters lacking trust in the process,” says Michael Ertel, Seminole County’s Republican Supervisor of Elections. “So regardless of whether there is any interference, which there hasn’t been, there are partisans all over the political spectrum who are proffering interference in the election. What that does is it causes voters to have a lack of faith in the process.” Ertel adds: “If voters have a lack of faith in the process, they might not vote in the end.”

What we know

confirmed that Russian hackers attempted to break into their offices’ computer systems days before the general election. Election supervisors in Hillsborough, Pasco, Citrus, Clay and Volusia counties told the Tampa Bay Times that they’d received the same type of emails described by the intelligence report. In the first four counties, the officials said their staffers hadn’t opened the emails; Volusia officials admitted one staffer had but said the attachment didn’t compromise its system. VR Systems did not respond to Orlando Weekly’s request for comment. On Sept. 22, 2017, the Department of Homeland Security informed state officials that Florida was one of 21 states targeted by hackers in the 2016 election, later confirming it was one of seven states compromised by foreign actors. Both the Florida Department of State and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence have insisted that while Russians targeted Florida’s voting systems, their efforts were unsuccessful. But even that insistence – that Florida’s results weren’t hacked – underscores the fact that the Russian government got a peep show into the state’s electoral process. And that could set the table for a future attempt. “What usually happens with a foreign enemy is, if they don’t do it one time, they try and try again until they succeed,” says U.S. Rep Val Demings, D-Orlando. Earlier this year, Demings helped introduce the “Defend Against Russian Disinformation Act,” legislation intended to strengthen federal cyber security and intelligence gathering. “You install a lock; they pick it. You install an alarm system; they learn how to defeat it. If they’re determined to get into your house, your business, they’re going to keep trying. They’re watching, waiting for the opportunity.”

Even prior to the 2016 election, concerns of a threat to election security in Florida had already begun to the surface. On Sept. 30, 2016, FBI officials held a conference call with the state’s 67 supervisors of elections. Though officials were told to keep tight-lipped, one supervisor later told reporters that the FBI informed them of “a malicious act found in a jurisdiction” in Florida. However, the agency stressed that the systems had not been hacked and that nothing was found to have occurred at the state level, such as tampering with Florida’s voter registration database. The call took place two days after thenFBI Director James Comey informed Congress that there had been more “attempted intrusions” in U.S. voter registration databases, and the agency was looking “very, very hard” at whether Russian hackers were responsible. As Florida’s election officials would later learn, that was only the tip of the iceberg. On June 5, 2017, the Intercept leaked a classified document from the National Security Agency. Although the intelligence report did not specify the company’s name, a document dated May 5 clearly described products made by Tallahassee-based elections vendor VR Systems, which provides elections technology to 64 of the state’s 67 counties (but not Seminole or Orange counties), as well as seven other states. According to the documents, VR Systems had been penetrated in August 2016 by hackers working for Russian military intelligence, known as the GRU. That was the first prong of the hackers’ attempt. Using the company as a connection, foreign actors sent phishing emails to 122 elections officials across the country just days before Florida’s 2016 primary election took place. The intelligence report states that the foreign actors tried to trick as many as seven “potential victims” at VR Systems with a spear-phishing email directing them to a fake Google website. “[The GRU] executed cyber espionage operations against a named U.S. company in August 2016, evidently to obtain information on elections-related software and hardware solutions,” intelligence officials wrote in the report. “The actors likely used data obtained from that operation to launch a voter-registration-themed spear-phishing campaign targeting U.S. local government organizations.” The report concludes: “It is unknown whether the aforementioned spear-phishing deployment successfully compromised the intended victims, and what potential data could have been accessed by the cyber actor.” Following the leak, on June 6, 2017, at least five of Florida’s county election officials

Hardening the systems

A February report by the Center for American Progress gave Florida an “F” for election security, making the state one of only five to receive failing marks. But that doesn’t necessarily mean Florida’s election security measures are weak, says Bill Cowles, Orange County’s Democratic Supervisor of Elections. “Miami-Dade County is the only county still using the touchscreens for the [Americans with Disabilities Act] requirement,” Cowles says. “So because of one county, for disability voters only, we got an ‘F’ because we’re still using electronic stuff. But everybody else in the state votes on a paper ballot.” To some extent, it’s surprising that the CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

November elections. “Any unspent funds must be returned to the state by midDecember 2018,” Cowles says. “So the selection of projects had to be ones that we could do very quickly.” Of the more than $766,000 allocated to Orange County, Cowles says his office applied for about $408,000. He says he didn’t request the full amount due to the restrictions that were placed on counties, including that Orange County wouldn’t have been able to recoup county dollars already spent to help upgrade the systems. Elsewhere in Central Florida, Seminole County received more than $300,000 from the program; Osceola County received $210,000; and Lake County received $240,000. So far, county election officials say, the money has also been used to train staff on avoiding phishing schemes; employ vendors to make sure all firewalls and IT products are up to date, as well as ensuring that those meet the proper standards; replace old electronic poll books; and enhance each building’s physical security, such as installing additional security cameras and dual authentication to enter secure rooms. The Florida Department of State also received $1.9 million during the 2018 legislative session to provide grants to supervisors of elections for the purchase of a Network Monitoring Security solution, or ALBERT, a program offered through the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center. MS-ISAC, Revell says, identifies and shares information about potential threats with states and helps monitor state networks for suspicious activity. Cowles, whose office received more than $19,000 in grant money from MS-ISAC, says election offices will be required to pick up the cost of the monitoring system after one year. There are other security measures being put in place, elections supervisors say. But talking about them could make them vulnerable. “Of course, there are other things having to do with internet security that we will not talk about,” explains Lake County Supervisor of Elections Alan Hays.

“They have penetrated certain counties in the state and they have free rein to move about,” said Sen. Bill Nelson.

Sunshine State has switched back to using paper ballots, especially after the hangingchad fiasco of 2000. (The only exception to the state law, says Sarah Revell, spokeswoman for the Florida Department of State, “allows voters with disabilities the option to vote on accessible devices, but even this will require a paper record under Florida law by 2020.”) After the disputed 2000 election, Congress passed the Help America Vote Act, which pushed states to buy electronic machines. But former Gov. Charlie Crist announced the move away from touchscreen voting machines in 2007, opting again for the use of paper ballots counted by scanning machines. “Anybody, anywhere in the world, honestly, who works in elections, will tell you that the safest, most secure way to conduct an election is with paper ballots,” says Lori Edwards, Polk County’s supervisor of elections. In March, Congress approved $380 million in grants – $19.2 million of which was set aside for Florida – as part of a national election protection program. But for reasons that felt particularly partisan, state officials were slow to apply for the federal funds. In May, Secretary of State Ken Detzner moved to preserve the money for longterm needs rather than short-term security. At the annual Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections conference in Fort Lauderdale, Detzner said the money couldn’t be distributed early enough before the November midterms, and that it would likely require a vote by the Joint Legislative Budget Commission to do so. Even so, the requirements to qualify for the funds were simple: Every state had to submit a detailed summary of a timeline and description of the project’s details. By law, states were also required to match 5 percent of the federal total, meaning Florida is on the hook for roughly $959,000. Each county election supervisor’s funding is dependent upon voter population. Gov. Rick Scott, who is running to unseat three-time U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, wasn’t happy with Detzner’s approach. Less than a week after the secretary of state, a Scott appointee, waved off the funding for this election cycle, the governor ordered him to file the paperwork. It took just days for the feds to have the request approved. Because of state officials’ foot-dragging, county election supervisors had to put the money to use quickly. Cowles says the funds his office requested must be spent on items or software that could be purchased and used in the

A formula for mass confusion

Until August, the general consensus was that the Russians had tried and failed to breach the American voting system, which, in the words of Val Demings, “leads us to believe that the systems that we have in place obviously were able to withstand and did not fail us.” But then Sen. Bill Nelson, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee’s cybersecurity subcommittee, CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

“I’m very conﬁdent,” Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles says. “But I’m always looking over my shoulder.”

money funding from the likes of Charles Koch. FACT asserted that Nelson was guilty of either “disclosing classified information or improper conduct.” Since then, he has neither stood by his comments nor denounced them. “Nelson made these declarations with the authority and credibility of the Senate, which has access to classified information not made available to the public,” the complaint says. “Yet, there is no publicly known evidence supporting the veracity of Nelson’s remarks.” A statement from Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, a Republican from North Carolina, neither confirmed nor contradicted Nelson’s claim, though the statement made reference to “Russia’s continued efforts to interfere in our democracy and undermine our elections.” Orlando Weekly reached out repeatedly to various operatives within Nelson’s office for further comment, but did not receive a reply by press time. “I think part of this thing is to scare people, to build that fear,” Cowles says. “And what does it do? Keeps people from going to vote. So is it becoming more of a tool to control voter turnout, without really being malicious in trying to destroy records?” Still, many experts still see cause for concern. “The real threat is in the periphery, in the margins of the peripheral details, and that’s why I think people have not quite grasped the nature of the threats,” says Bradley Moss, a Washington, D.C.-based lawyer who specializes in matters relating to national security. “When someone is scanning and trying to infiltrate these systems, the real issue is just messing with the underlying data. Can they secure it efficiently enough to convince and to persuade and reassure voters that their data is accurate when they show up on Election Day?” It’s a question that’s at the forefront of Florida election officials’ minds. “We’ve got unified statewide procedures,” Cowles says. “That’s what the [Florida Secretary of State] is doing, and that’s why we have the training at our conferences to make sure that everybody is unified in terms of understanding what the potential risks are, and then what you need to protect your systems, to protect the statewide system, because we’re all connected to the statewide voter registration database.” Asked how he feels going into the November midterms, Cowles says, “Very confident. But I’m always looking over my shoulder.”

made an off-the-cuff comment about how election interference was already underway in Florida. “They have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move about,” Nelson told the Tampa Bay Times on Aug. 8. A day earlier, Nelson said something similar, though he declined to elaborate. “That’s classified,” he told reporters. So what was Nelson referring to? DHS and the FBI almost immediately disputed Nelson’s claim, as did many election supervisors. Paul Lux, Okaloosa County’s Supervisor of Elections and the president of the Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections, says Nelson’s comments struck him as odd. “To me, that says either someone’s over-exaggerating something or someone’s not telling the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI what they need to know,” Lux says. But the situation brings up a critical point. “If there are intelligence agencies who have information about threats to elections in Florida or any other state, and they are not sharing this information with [DHS], who is tasked under the Patriot Act with protecting critical infrastructure,” Lux says, “then we have a much more serious problem on our hands.” Alan Hays says, “[Nelson’s] statement that the Russians are free to roam about, as far as I’m concerned, is total bunk. “I have seen no evidence of that. I have heard nothing from any of the supervisors about that, and frankly, I think loose talk like that is doing a gross disservice to the voters in the whole state and in the whole nation.” It wouldn’t be the first time Florida’s election supervisors weren’t given the whole truth. However, after staying mum for several days after making the claim, Nelson seemed to double down on his previous comments. “It would be foolish to think that the Russians would not continue to do this as they did in Florida in 2016,” Nelson told the Tampa Bay Times. “It’s unfortunate that some Florida officials are trying to use this for partisan political purposes,” he said, referring to how his opponent, Scott, had pounced on Nelson’s comments by saying that the Democratic senator might have released classified information. Nelson’s comments ended up drawing an ethics complaint from the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, described by OpenSecrets.org as “a conservative counterweight to watchdog groups viewed as more left-of-center,” known for dark

RADIANT TRUTHS A dual-location exhibition colorfully portrays scenes of the African American experience BY R I C H A R D R E E P

onathan Green lives and works today as an artist and collector in Charleston. But he grew up in the small Gullah community of Gardens Corner, South Carolina, and it’s from there that his inspiration springs. Peopled by the descendants of ex-slaves, the Gullah communities of the Lowcountry still enshrine West African art and traditions. VIBRANT VISION: AFRICAN DIASPORA & AFRICAN AMERICAN ARTISTS’ WORKS FROM THE JONATHAN GREEN AND RICHARD WEEDMAN COLLECTION through Jan. 12, 2019 Alice and William Jenkins Gallery, Crealdé School of Art 600 Saint Andrews Blvd., Winter Park Hannibal Square Heritage Center 642 W. New England Blvd., Winter Park 407-671-1886 crealde.org free

“New Generation” by Elizabeth Catlett

For Vibrant Vision, Green and his curator, Richard Weedman, selected paintings, drawings and sculpture from his collection that colorfully portray truths of the African American experience. The Crealdé and Hannibal Square galleries pack a powerful onetwo punch, knocking out the myth that no one buys art: Green and Weedman

buy art, and lots of it. This bifurcated exhibition shows us a tiny fraction of the amazing work they’ve amassed over the last 40 years. The Jenkins Gallery at Crealdé’s main campus, a simple square room, is highlighted by Afro-Cuban artist Reynier Llanes’ “The Revelation,” an allegorical Madonna and child revealed to three men in a fragile little boat. Arrayed around this mythopoetic Caribbean scene are works by Romare Bearden, William Sylvester Carter and Ernest Crichlow, veteran WPA artists, among others. Most work by these masters dates from the peak of their careers. Bearden’s 1988 “Dockside Market,” for example, is a watercolor in his late Caribbean style, showing aquatic blues and greens framing soft black faces around the dock. In contrast, Hale Woodruff’s severe black-and white linocut “Returning Home” is a slice of 1930s African American social realism: Between haphazard shanties, a tired man ascends a rickety staircase. Green and Weedman’s collection shines a light upon scenes like this. Black artists, nearly invisible in the major museums, are here revealed, working with the simple scenes of life as well as some of the more uncomfortable truths of injustice and poverty. At the Hannibal Square Heritage Center, the second floor gallery extends the show with works by CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

“Fruit Pickers,” by Jonathan Green CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19

still more artists. Jacob Lawrence’s “The Capture” is a poignant silkscreen print of the capture of Haitian revolutionary Toussaint L’Ouverture: slumped astride a white horse, defeated, roped to his captors. Lawrence’s paintings depict many epic struggles of African Americans and here, in this smaller room, this one feels somehow larger than life. Green’s paintings of his Gullah roots hold their own among these giants. His “Fruit Pickers” is semi-abstract, with deep colors and a thick, brushy texture conveying a certain strength and dignity in the working

adult and child figures, a depth of feeling showing through the scene. Artists like Green, who also collect, express their vision beyond the canvas. Green and Weedman’s collection comprises works of great beauty – work that extends history’s reach into uncomfortable corners of the past. Art delivers truth to the brain quickly, and a bit about the past is delivered through these artists. In these times where truth seems elusive, these exhibits let you see a little bit of it for yourself. arts@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

BY SETH KUBERSKY THE BIRDS | PHOTO COURTESY OF GARDEN THEATRE

Ordinarily, I honor October’s

arrival by visiting haunted houses, but last week’s Senate hearings were far more frightening than any chainsaw-wielding maniac. So instead, I’m turning this week’s column over one of my favorite local stage directors and her terrifyingly timely tale of gendered power dynamics and collapsing social norms. If you think the idea of transforming The Birds – best known from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 film – into a stage play sounds like a stretch, you aren’t alone; Aradhana Tiwari, who is returning to directing for the first time since 2017’s A Tennessee Walk, initially shared your skepticism when Garden Theatre artistic director Rob Winn Anderson approached her with the project. “I was a little wary at first because I love the Hitchcock film, and was uncertain how it would be accomplished in a stage adaptation,” Tiwari told me before a recent rehearsal for the show, which runs Oct. 12-28 at the Winter Garden venue. “Then I realized it was actually based on the short story by Daphne du Maurier [which inspired Hitchcock’s film], and that it was something completely different.” For a 66-year-old story, The Birds is surprisingly contemporary, which is what attracted Tiwari to the script. “As soon as I started reading it, it had this postapocalyptic energy to it that I feel is very much in the zeitgeist of now,” she says, comparing it to television shows like The Leftovers and The Walking Dead. Fans of the film will recognize its iconic premise of an inexplicable avian revolt, but not much else, according to Tiwari: “In the stage adaptation, there are parts that you can find echoes from the original, but it’s still very much its own story.” Tiwari says that divergence works to the play’s advantage, because “Hitchcock’s

Surprisingly contemporary, The Birds has a post-apocalyptic energy that’s very much in the zeitgeist Birds is so iconic, if it was close to that I think it might be harder to go on this journey, so I think the fact that it’s so different gives you a completely different ride.” Another big difference from the big-screen Birds is the empowerment of the play’s female characters, which stands in sharp contrast to the infamous abuse experienced on and off-screen by Tippi Hedren. The plot revolves around two women – Julia (Sarah Lockard) and Diane (Tara Anderson) – and their relationship with Nat (Matt Rush), which Tiwari describes as a “dynamic of female power between two different generations.” That makes the play especially potent “in a time when we have a lot of strong women finding their voices and exploring their power.” However, the script’s gender politics run headlong into the theme of “nature in revolt,” or as Tiwari puts it, “What if nature started to come together, maybe not with the intent to execute us, but to say ‘this can’t go on like this any more’?” Uncontrollable ecological catastrophe invokes issues of environmental stewardship, and ultimately the extinction of humanity. “There’s this underlying tension threaded through the show about ‘What is my value and what is my power?’ based on whether or not I’m able to procreate,” Tiwari explains. “There’s so much natural disaster happening, so this idea of hunkering down is very familiar.

But hunkering down over a hurricane and being hunted is very different. How does that change the dynamic of survival, and the tension that builds? We can start to unravel mentally when we become the thing that’s hunted, versus waiting out the storm.” Scenic designer Vandy Wood – a veteran of multiple fowl-focused shows at Ibex Puppetry, as well as countless Orlando Repertory Theatre and University of Central Florida theater productions – is helping visualize the show’s feathered menace by creating “a beautiful vocabulary to give us the essence of the birds,” according to Tiwari. But the titular antagonists will mostly be embodied by the murmurationinspired soundtrack Tiwari is designing in collaboration with audio engineer Jack Audet. “There’s no explanation about whether this is a higher power, or aliens, or the birds themselves, but there is structure to this enemy. So I wanted the sound to have a little bit of that programmed sense and be more atmospheric.” Rather than relying on gory gross-outs, The Birds mines fright from “the things that are scary without the monster, because we might be the monster, or your friend might be the monster,” Tiwari says. “No matter who we are, we all have the capacity to do a terrifying thing under the right circumstances. … I don’t want to say we all have an inner darkness, but we all have the potential to lean into that side if we need to survive.” “This story is really not about the birds; it’s a psychological journey with these characters,” Tiwari says. “To nod to Hitchcock, it’s the things we don’t see that are the most terrifying … [The birds] are looming out there, but the real danger is us.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

JINYA RAMEN BAR

Decor is minimalist and food comes out fast, furious and piping hot at this Los Angeles-based chain ramen-ya. The signature Jinya Tonkotsu Black ramen, a flavorful pork broth accented by a slick of unctuous fat, is stuffed with nori sheets, tender seared pork belly, a whole seasoned egg, kikurage seaweed and fried garlic – and toothsome noodles, of course. Tokyo curry rice and crispy-creamy octopus fritters are also best bets, if you’re going broth-free. 8 N. Summerlin Ave., 407-7041825; $$

THE NOBLE SMOKESMAN The Noble Smokesman does a bustling lunch business, and that’s good since they only serve the one meal. We didn’t love the sandwich or the mac & cheese we tried on our first visit, but the three smoked-meat tacos on our second visit knocked our socks off; the Birdhouse (barbecue chicken with smoked tomatillo salsa, pickled onions, cilantro cream and a generous sprinkling of queso fresco) was our favorite. The inch-high mini cakes are also not to be missed. 6925 Lake Ellenor Drive, 407-630-6223; $

SAPORITO ORGANIC BAKERY & KITCHEN

While the restaurant hews to the Slow Food ideology in the kitchen – slower is better, and everything from scratch – nothing about the front-of-house service at Saporito was too leisurely. The breads, pizzas and desserts make it clear that there are some master bakers here, and finding a true bacon-egg-and-cheese carbonara (no cream!) is ecstasy-inducing. But what really makes Saporito Organic Bakery & Kitchen special is the owners’ relationships with their customers; this place feels like home. 2759 Old Winter Garden Road, Ocoee, 407-554-2100; $$

CAFÉ LINGER

The impressive culinary credentials of the cooks and owners at this College Park café show up in dishes that are technically proficient. Oh, and they’re very, very good – whether it’s the smoked salmon and avocado tartare, or the grilled octopus over fondant potatoes slicked in a sauce velouté, or delicately crisp branzino laid over arugula and rosemary potatoes anointed with a refined beurre blanc. Yes, Café Linger is bent on redefining coffee culture on Edgewater Drive. 2912 Edgewater Drive, 407-930-0473; $$ CONTINUED ON PAGE 31

SHIRAZ HOUSE OF GRILL

Sleek, modern eatery keeps the college crowd gratified with traditional Iranian kebabs and stews, be it a fine presentation of saffron- and citrus-marinated chicken tenderloin kebab, or a smoky dip of eggplant, onion, garlic and whey. Feast like a sultan on the naaderi soltani, a platter graced with a skewer of ultraplush filet mignon and ground beef koobideh. Weekends are highlighted by the presence of braised lamb shank. 688 N. Alafaya Trail, 407-930-6422; $$

CLADDAGH COTTAGE IRISH PUB

After being shuttered for nearly a year and a half, this traditional Irish pub with grub to match revived itself in the newly minted Hourglass District. You can’t go wrong with any of their pies, whether cottage, steak and ale, or chicken, leek and mushroom. Masala pasties can be had, as can Irish stew, of course, though it’s more soupy than you’d expect. If you’re rolling in for a pint, consider snacking on sausage rolls or scotch eggs. 2421 Curry Ford Road, 407-895-1555; $$

BITES & BUBBLES

The latest effort from restaurateur Eddie Nickell offers a melange of French-inspired fare, some quite good, like fried and raw oysters, simple raclette cheese potatoes, and bananas Foster. There’s a nice wine list (with some French bubblies) and a handful of caviars offered. 912 N. Mills Ave., 407-2705085; $$$

WA SUSHI

One of the city’s best sushi joints sits in a strip mall in Casselberry – a bit of a surprise, but many culinary gems reside in nondescript locales. Weekly deliveries from Tsukiji Fish Market highlight the grand sashimi moriawase, a chef’s selection of 16 cuts. If you’re lucky, scorpion fish, goatfish and madai will make the list. Hushpuppy-like takoyaki and a deconstructed sunomono are worthy options, but bluefin otoro flecked with gold leaf may be the ultimate indulgence. 1285 Seminola Blvd., Casselberry, 407-636-3251; $$

SOURDOUGH BREAD HOUSE Turkish breakfast and lunch joint forgoes kebabs in favor of lighter fare like the traditional Turkish breakfast, a Byzantine assemblage of nuts, fruits, vegetables, jams, dips, spreads, cheeses and a fried egg. Meat lovers can opt for various cold cuts (pastrami, roast beef, smoked turkey, beef bacon) on outstanding sourdough bread; the health-conscious can enjoy the same with hummus, avocado, labneh and smoked salmon replacing the cold cuts. Open until 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. 110 N. Orlando Ave., Maitland, 407-636-5204; $$

KAI ASIAN STREET FARE

Service and decor are not the focus at Kai – savory dishes lit with bold flavors and ideal execution are. Channeling the David Chang/ Eddie Huang too-cool-for-chef-school attitude, Isra Sunhachawi and Quan Van turn out flavor-packed plates like K-Pop and Lock Korean-style loaded fries, so crispy they can withstand an avalanche of bulgogi, kimchi and spicy mayo. 1555 State Road 436, Winter Park, 407-821-3430; $ n

A Star Is Born

A STAR IS REBORN Bradley Cooper helms a respectable remake BY CAMERON MEIE R

very generation needs its Star, comeback. Failing to replicate the magic of that movie, Frank Pierson directed and the latest version – starring a musically memorable but cloying Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga Barbra Streisand and a walking-dead – is a worthwhile addition to the series. Star was born in 1937 when William Kris Kristofferson in 1976. (A star is Wellman directed the melodramatic Janet bored.) That version moved the plot from Gaynor and the subtle, heartbreaking movies to rock & roll, though neither Fredric March in the eternal story of Kristofferson nor Streisand were noted celebrities at opposite ends of their for their rock. The latest incarnation, careers. Inspired by an even older movie which marks the directorial debut of Cooper, sticks with that musical setting (George Cukor’s What Price Hollywood? but adds both a slight from 1932), the first twang and a Gaga Star follows the rise glint. of a small-town girl With a screenplay and the drunken by Cooper, Eric Roth decline of a movie A STAR IS BORN and Will Fetters legend.

But it still his own career. The 1954 remake, directed by borrows heavily from all three previous Cukor, turned the tale into one of the versions.

HHHHH

movies, however, your attention might wander in the second act, with no big surprises waiting for you at the end. But you should still be impressed by the undeniable chemistry between Cooper and Gaga, plus the welcome addition of the incomparable Sam Elliott as the (much) older brother and mentor to Cooper’s character. As expected, Gaga nails her musical numbers, but she also shows a vulnerability that might catch some fans off guard. (She’s no Garland, but neither was Streisand.) Cooper is even more impressive, especially because he’s pulling triple duty thanks to his behind-the-camera credits. (His performance owes a lot to Kristofferson’s grizzled rocker from the 1976 version, except Cooper is actually good.) And look for accomplished supporting appearances by Andrew Dice Clay and Dave Chappelle. “Is there something else you’re searching for?” Gaga’s character asks herself in song near the film’s beginning, hinting at the fame that will soon be hers. Her character’s answer is, of course, yes, for that’s the answer of all rising stars, whether they be 1930s Hollywood starlets or 21st-century pop princesses. The dream never really changes, but in Cooper’s new film, it’s nevertheless nice to see it reimagined. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Venom BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER

THIS WEEK: Mandy Remember when Andy Samberg’s Nic Cage said an essential element of any of his movies was that “everything in the film is on fire”? Well, the first act of Cage’s new flick features his character’s wife being set on fire. And that’s upping the ante in a way even Weekend Update couldn’t dream of. From there, Mandy is a protracted revenge fantasy the utterly bizarre excess of which has been drawing stunned critical plaudits since the picture premiered last January at Sundance. Kudos have been heaped upon its hallucinogenic cinematography, its well-chosen soundtrack and its overall go-for-broke ethos. The Guardian even praised the picture’s “sublime use of fonts.” Fonts? Now there’s OCD reviewing we can really get behind. Especially if the fonts are on fire. (NR; tentatively scheduled to open Friday at Enzian Theater, Maitland) Venom I’m not the first person to wonder if this movie is going to be to the Tom Holland Spider-Man what Halle Berry’s Catwoman was to Michael Keaton. (Or hell, even Lewis Wilson.) Sony swears there’s nothing to worry about, since the film supposedly takes place “in the same universe” as last year’s well-liked Homecoming. Which is a bit like me saying I breathe the same air as Gisele Bündchen: technically true, but what difference does it make in terms of my good time? So yeah, there’s reason to worry about the utility of a Venom flick that doesn’t feature Spider-Man, that doesn’t portray him as a derivation of Spider-Man, and that in the ab-

sence of Spider-Man recasts this psychopathic antagonist as an “antihero” who somehow manages to crack all the right skulls. Not to mention supporting performer Jenny Slate’s apparent inability to properly pronounce the word “symbiote.” Details, details. Look, I’ll be honest: I was never a Venom fan to begin with. I have as much appreciation of the character as I have of any Todd McFarlane creation, which is roughly zero. But it’s the people who do appreciate him that I’m concerned for here. Are they about to suffer the second crappy cinematic interpretation of the character in 11 years? Signs point to yes. I think the only smidge of semi-enthusiasm I can muster up is that I never gave a damn about Bane either, and Tom Hardy made me sorta enjoy him. Kinda. So as Hardy (presumably) does his level best to keep this ill-conceived project above water, he should know that he has my symbiote. I mean, sympathies. (PG-13)

ALSO PLAYING: Cruise Big Fan director Robert D. Siegel helmed this story of the unlikely love between an Italian guy and a Jewish girl in 1987. Also unlikely in 1987: people paying good money to see a movie about Venom. (NR; playing at AMC Dine-In Disney Springs 24) Trico Tri: Happy Halloween A Hispanic family discovers that their new home in Miami is haunted.

first time, there’s the Gouge Away version of a ballad, on which Michelle sings clean. “We were afraid it was going to be way too different … and I was terrified of clean singing because I thought I just couldn’t do it at all. It’s something I’m still intimidated by, but I’m really glad we decided to commit to finishing and recording it. I’m definitely open to continuing to go down that route,” she confesses. As for how she copes on the road, not just with those demons of doubt but with the everyday anxieties that plague us all? “All I really do to benefit myself is write stuff down and eat chocolate,” she says with a laugh. “On the road, I try to just be open about what I’m going through so no one thinks it has anything to do with them. When I need help I try to remember to ask for it, even if it just means not doing merch that night. I think the biggest problem is never having alone time.” Of course, as is the case with most artists, sometimes the best cure is to keep working and creating. “Every time I get to the point that I feel like I need professional help, it’s buried by the next thing we have to do.” Right now that “next thing” is an album release party right here at Will’s Pub, followed by a two-month tour, she says. “We’ve had a few really fun shows here; we thought it might be good to keep that momentum going.”

ORLANDO WEEKLY

BY B AO L E - H U U GREGORIO FRANCO | PHOTO BY JEN CRAY

This week, it’s back to the future

with a synthwave showcase and the confessions of an Outfield fanboy

DAN TERMINUS, GREGORIO FRANCO AND ACP PRO, WILL’S PUB, SEPT. 23

Although French headliner Dan Terminus brought the least stage production to this synthwave showcase, he brought the most stature and an extraordinary degree of actual live play for an electronic artist. Add in the crushing synth sounds of his sweeping sonic voyages and you’ve got gold. Atlanta’s Gregorio Franco was, by far, the most rock-influenced act of the lot, at least on record. Live, the guitars on his songs were less prevalent. But that spirit wholly fueled his heavy-metal techno set, which looked and sounded like Gost’s headbanger little brother. Franco’s accent may be electronic, but his vocabulary is pure metal. Even among this strong cast, one of the most distinctive acts of the night was Florida duo ACP PRO. Though they feature plenty of the usual cinematic flourishes that are de rigueur to synthwavers, what sets them apart is their beat DNA. More than most of their instrumental contemporaries, their beats are central to their heartbeat and architecture. With a rhythmic topography that can range from electronic body music to sleek, kicking electro, these guys craft a rare spot that can be shared by industrial warriors and bass heads alike. While others cast widescreen visions, ACP PRO dive under and go deep with the thump of a subterranean pulse.

Gregorio Franco’s heavymetal techno set, which looked and sounded like Gost’s headbanger little brother, may be electronic but his vocabulary is pure metal.

THE OUTFIELD’S TONY LEWIS, VELVET SESSIONS, SEPT. 28

1980s British rock band the Outfield weren’t technically a one-hit wonder, but their 1985 smash “Your Love” was so hooking and omnipresent that it eclipsed their other hits. They’ve been so enshrined in the decade’s zeitgeist with that moment that they’ve become one of those cases where everyone knows their hit song but only a fraction know the name of the actual band that did it. But I am not one of these casual fans. Because my fervor for the Outfield first bloomed as a child, I was never able to see them in concert during their relevancy. Their only stop in my city was on a school night, so the only thing I was able to swing was riding my little BMX up to a big suburban record store for a daytime autograph event. I still have that signed bumper sticker. But like so much other pop-culture ephemera, the band could’ve just become a relic of my indiscriminate youth. They, however, had somehow latched onto

my psyche. This wasn’t intellectual or musicological; this was basic pop instinct, pure and simple, shallow yet deep, and definitely beyond reason. I finally got the chance to see them as an adult, at the dawn of an entirely new millennium, at an outdoor stage at Pleasure Island as part of a retro bill. I saw them after the concert just hanging out with each other in PI nightclub 8 Trax. I geeked and bought them a round. Although very much after the fact, at least I got to see them as a band. Since songwriter-guitarist John Spinks succumbed to cancer in 2014, that opportunity is gone. But now here I am, almost another two decades later, still clinging to the dream at an appearance by singer Tony Lewis, who is just emerging on his own with a debut solo album. I’ve heard the record. Let’s just say that it makes obvious who the Outfield’s songwriting force was, and Tony Lewis is no John Spinks. But John Spinks didn’t have that soaring, silver voice either, the one that defined the Outfield sound more than anything else. Thankfully, Lewis and his band played it more smart than deep, sticking to the Outfield’s repertoire and only sneaking in maybe a couple of his new solo songs. Most importantly, though, that legendary voice was reasonably intact, a feat after this many decades for such a high, crystal thing. It’s hard sometimes to rationalize pop appeal that happens on a purely primal level. When it hits the bull’s eye though – yours, mine, anybody’s – it’s also unnecessary. Candy though it may be, the Outfield’s music is nonetheless sweet, shining and occasionally perfect pop-rock. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Caleborate MUSIC

Rising West Coast hip-hop star Caleborate has had a busy 2018, packed with roadwork in support of new album Real Person, with highlights including a spot on the Outside Lands Festival and a recently wrapped European tour. Every bit of sweat and frequent flyer miles racked up is worth it, though; Real Person is a standout release in a crowded field of worthy hip-hop albums this year, and it is Caleborate’s strongest statement to date. It’s a callback to the more introspective end of 1990s rap, with relaxed and fluid production over which Caleborate’s lyrics – introspective, packed with compellingly specific personal details (Exhibit A being the lengthy, beautiful coda to lead single “Real Person”) – flow and weave and duck-anddive throughout. SR50 has really scored a coup with this booking. – Matthew Moyer with The Mike Wilson, Marv Pax, LB199X, Mave | 7 p.m. | Henao Contemporary Center, 5601 Edgewater Drive | 407-272-0317 | henaocenter.com | $15

Orlando Mixtape MUSIC

For its sixth edition, the annual Orlando Mixtape is shooting for the moon and bringing home the stars. Instead of the usual club show, the fundraising music event is going full block party, taking over Wall Street Plaza with a big-name Orlando rock reunion to benefit local youth literacy organization Page 15 (an Urban Think Foundation program, alongside Burrow Press). Organized and hosted by Seven Mary Three drummer and stalwart local cultural activist Giti Khalsa, the music event will be anchored as usual by a supergroup of Orlando musicians rocking out favorite covers (expect a mix that will range from Petty to Zeppelin to the Psychedelic Furs). This year, however, that group will feature Matchbox Twenty’s Kyle Cook and Steven Foxbury of charting Orlando ’90s band My Friend Steve. And to really make it a party, currently rising stars the Sh-Booms will also perform a set of their house-burning garage soul. VIP ticketholders can pregame properly with a craft cocktail tour through each of the Wall Street bars at 6 p.m. – Bao Le-Huu 7:30 p.m. | Wall Street Plaza, Wall and Court streets | orlandomixtape.org | $10-$100

Snap Presents: “ray:trace” ART

A pre-event leading up to Snap’s citywide celebration of augmented reality, City Unseen (opening Nov. 2), this evening presentation features a large-scale projection-mapped “mural” by Turkish digital artist Can Büyükberber to spectators seated on the lawn of the First Green Bank building. Snap says in a release about the project that the work “presents a sensational collapse of dimensionality by tracing the path of projected light on a 110 feet wide mural”; Büyükberber was part of a group show last year of work that “lets us conceive and experience space in a non-physical, non-social, nontraditional way: as a non-space.” We have two predictions for City Unseen: It’s going to look cool as hell, and it’s going to be really difficult to describe in writing. – Jessica Bryce Young 8 p.m. | First Green Bank, 2 W.

Uncomfortable Brunch Presents: Raw FILM

For their spooky season selection, Uncomfortable Brunch revisits one of last year’s best. Raw as a French horror film about Justine (Garance Marillier), a vegetarian student who is coerced into eating meat as part of an initiation ceremony. She finds she not only has a taste for it, but develops uncontrollable cravings for fresh, raw meat. Though the premise is undeniably of the horror genre, Raw feels more like a Western European arthouse drama due to its focus on character instead of gory shocks. Still, there are definitely some scenes you’re going to want to have finished your meal before seeing. – Thaddeus McCollum 1 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | facebook.com/uncomfortablebrunch | $10-$12

Hari Kondabolu COMEDY

One of the most politically engaged comedians working today, Hari Kondabolu isn’t just some yahoo with a mic and some jokes about Trump’s hair. Kondabolu sports a master’s degree in Human Rights from the London School of Economics, so he actually knows what he’s talking about. His material dives into the political realm feet-first, taking on topics like racism, the rise in hate crimes and negative stereotypes of South Asians in pop culture. You may have heard him as a regular guest on NPR’s “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me” or his Politically Reactive podcast, but a performance in the Pugh Theater is sure to feel much more intimate. – TM 7 & 9:30 p.m. | Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S.

World of Lore Signing LITERARY

The creepy, the weird and the downright disturbing: Aaron Mahnke has covered it all. From haunted hotels in Colorado and eerie castles in England to sinister cabinetmakers and wicked con artists, Mahnke brings to life history’s most terrifying stories in his hit podcast, Lore. But because telling scary stories out loud isn’t enough, Mahnke has also written and published three illustrated novels so fans can have the equally frightening visual accompaniment. Barnes and Noble hosts Mahnke as he reads from his latest book, The World of Lore: Dreadful Places, and signs copies afterwards. Wristbands to get in are handed out starting at 9 a.m. – Paola Peralta 7 p.m. | Barnes and Noble, 2418 E. Colonial Drive | 407-894-6024 | barnesandnoble.com | $26.09

Sales MUSIC

Independent Orlando guitar pop pair Sales (Lauren Morgan and Jordan Shih) play in their hometown as part of a Florida-majority East Coast tour of their sophomore album, forever & ever. The album plays like a series of minimalist fantasies with Morgan’s voice as the hazy-sounding narrator on the basics of intimacy or nothing in particular. With Sales, Morgan and Shih create a world of comforts wherein Morgan’s smooth and subtly raspy voice guides listeners through the high and low points of each band member’s meditative guitar playing, and maybe their respective intimate relationships? The songs on forever & ever are so clean and perfect, they could easily lull you in to a happy sleep, as if under general anesthesia, but don’t let them: The more they play, the more you understand why industry giant Spotify includes them on playlists with titles such as “Bedroom Pop” and “Indie Chillout.” – Nicolette Shurba with Trapfone, Zoya Zafar | 6 p.m. | The Social, 54 N.

ORLANDO WEEKLY

B Y D A N S AVA G E Is it even possible for a couple that stopped having sex to start back up again? My girlfriend and I (we’re both women) have been together for four years, and we haven’t had sex for two. I thought the sex was good before it stopped, but apparently she was going through the motions. She’s a sex worker, and it took her a while to figure out she was not being present, and she wanted to stop having sex with me until she could figure out how to change that. I get that and respect it. We have an open relationship, so I started having more sex with other people. And while it’s fun, I do find myself wishing I could have sex with someone I actually care about – and I only care about her. She says she wants to start having sex with me again, but we don’t really know how to do that. Everything is kind of terrifying and awkward. She says it’s hard to go from sex with zero intimacy into sex with the intimacy turned up to 11. We’re very romantic with each other, and there are other forms of physical affection like kisses and snuggling, but no making out or humping. I love her more than I knew I could love a person, and if we never do figure out how to have sex together, I’ll still stay with her. But for two people who are both highly sexual and want to have sex with each other, we sure are perplexed at how to make this work. Sex Or Romance Dilemma “Let’s cut to the chase: Yes, it is possible for a couple that has stopped having sex to start having it again,” says Dr. Lori Brotto, a clinical psychologist and a sex researcher at the University of British Columbia. You ended on a note of despair, SORD, but Brotto sees two good reasons for hope: You and your girlfriend are completely open and honest with each other, and you’re committed to staying together whether or not the sex resumes. Your communication skills and that rock-solid commitment – neither of you are going anywhere – are the bedrock on which you can rebuild your sex life. “There are two aspects of SORD’s question that jump out at me: One, the reference to wanting to be present for sex, and two, the description of the situation as terrifying and awkward,” Brotto says. “SORD’s girlfriend likely perfected the practice of ‘going elsewhere’ during sex while at work, which meant that it became almost automatic for her to do this while having sex in her relationship. This is classic mindlessness, and it is why mindfulness – the state of full awareness to the present moment in a kind and compassionate way – may be a tool for her to consider implementing.” Mindfulness is the subject of Brotto’s new book, Better Sex Through Mindfulness: How Women Can Cultivate Desire. “Mindfulness has a long history in Buddhist meditation, and it allowed monks to sit with their present experience, including pain and

suffering, for hours or days – or sometimes weeks and months,” says Dr. Brotto. “In more recent years, mindfulness has been reconceptualized as a tool that anyone can use and benefit from. It doesn’t rely on having a Buddhist orientation or a cave to retreat to.” So how does this ancient mindfulness stuff work where modern girl-on-girl sex is concerned? “The practice is simple,” Brotto says. “It involves deliberately paying attention to sensations, sounds and thoughts in the present moment – and noticing when the mind gets pulled elsewhere and then gently but firmly guiding it back. Mindfulness is also about not berating yourself for finding it challenging or judging yourself for the thoughts you have.” In her practice, Dr. Brotto has seen research subjects successfully use mindfulness to cultivate and/or reignite sexual desire, calm anxiety, and relieve the awkwardness and fear that some people experience with sex. “Suffice it to say,” she says, “there is an impressive body of research that supports the practice of mindful sex, and people who otherwise may believe that their minds are incapable of staying still can effectively learn to fully engage their attention to sex and the person(s) with whom they are having sex. It doesn’t matter if you are skeptical about whether mindfulness works or not – if you are willing to learn the skills and apply it to sex, you’re likely to benefit.” And if you’re nervous or scared that it won’t work or that you’ll never reconnect sexually with your girlfriend, SORD, Brotto wants you to know that those feelings are perfectly normal. “The uncertainty surrounding what will happen when they try to reintegrate sex can be terrifying for some couples,” Brotto says. “What if it doesn’t work? What if neither of them has desire? What if the sex is just plain bad? If SORD and her partner are worrying about the anticipated sex, or even catastrophizing over it – a jargony term meaning they imagine it ending in disaster – that can make it damn near impossible to remain in the present. The good news is that mindfulness can help with the tendency to get lost on the thought train.” So here’s what you’re going to do, SORD: Order a copy of Dr. Brotto’s new book and read it with your girlfriend. And while you wait for the book to arrive, you’re going to try a mindful touching exercise called “sensate focus.” “She will invite her girlfriend to touch her from head to toe, minus the genitals, for 15 minutes – without the goal of triggering arousal or desire,” Brotto says. “SORD’s role is to pay attention to the sensations emerging, and curtail any thoughts by redirecting attention to the here and now. And relax. After 15 minutes, they switch roles so SORD

“HEARTS AND MINDS” becomes the giver and her girlfriend is the receiver. This is not foreplay. It is not manual sexual stimulation. It is a mindfulness exercise designed to teach a person to remain in the present while receiving sensual touch.” There are solo mindfulness exercises, SORD, and some good, commercially available apps out there that can walk you through them. But if your goal is reconnecting with your girlfriend, Brotto strongly recommends that you two work on mindfulness together. “My view is that a couple-based mindfulness exercise like sensate focus will get them to their goal of mind-blowing, mind-knowing sex,” Brotto says. CONFIDENTIAL TO AMERICAN CITIZENS EVERYWHERE: Furious about Brett Kavanaugh? Me, too. That’s why I donated to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Our only hope of protecting a woman’s right to choose, voting rights, LGBTQ rights, the environment, organized labor – our only hope for blocking Trump’s anti-everyone-and-everything agenda – is to take back the U.S. House and Senate this November. If the Democrats control the House come January (which looks likely), they can impeach Kavanaugh; if they control the Senate come January (a longer shot but within reach), they can put Kavanaugh on trial – and that means a full investigation into all the allegations against him, including the numerous ways in which he perjured himself during his confirmation hearings. It would take a two-thirds majority in the Senate to convict and remove Kavanaugh, and Dems likely won’t take that many seats – but if a trial uncovers proof that Kavanaugh committed the crimes he’s been accused of and lied to Congress, perhaps enough Republicans can be shamed into voting to remove him. (Republicans feeling shame? That may be the longest of long shots.) Go to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee website (dscc.org), click “contribute” and give what you can.
