ORLANDO WEEKLY

Readers react to blog posts and stories from the Oct. 24 issue. On Oct. 23, we reported on Gov. Rick Scott embracing protections for those sweet, sweet pre-existing conditions in a new ad for his U.S. Senate campaign, despite Florida still being part of a lawsuit to end the federal requirement that insurance companies must cover preexisting conditions. It’s an interesting position for the Republican to take in his race to replace Democratic incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson given the fact that, you know, he based his entire 2010 campaign on repealing Obamacare. @Joe Llorens This lie is so bad MY nose grew. @Ali Ayala I cannot stop laughing! @Audrey Leihser Voldemort is a liar!

defended his decision to speak at conferences hosted by anti-Muslim conservative political activist David Horowitz, Gillum argued DeSantis has “neo-Nazis helping him out in the state. He has spoken at racist conferences. He’s accepted a contribution and would not return it from someone who referred to the former president of the United States as a Muslim n-i-g-g-e-r. … I’m not calling Mr. DeSantis a racist. I’m simply saying the racists believe he’s a racist.” @April Murphy And I still voted for Ron DeSantis because I know out of the two candidates Ron won’t destroy this state. @Tiffany Rose DeSantis reminds me of Bobby Newport from Parks and Rec. @Kyle Poff It was epic. We all were clapping and screaming like it was a football game.

@Paro Gut I came on here to say LIAR and saw a lot of people beat me to it.

@Rich Ejire I’ve never actually ENJOYED a politician debate before lol.

On Oct. 25, we wrote about the vicious roasting of Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis at the last debate between him and Andrew Gillum. After DeSantis vehemently

@Sara Hopkins Finally – a Democrat who fights, doesn’t back down or wimp out!!! I certainly hope that more of Andrew Gillum’s colleagues take a page out of his playbook!

Ron DeSantis releases health care plan, judge clears way for challenge to gun law, and other news you may have missed last week. »

Ron DeSantis finally releases his health care plan: After weeks of criticism over his lack of a health care plan, DeSantis posted the proposal before the final debate. The plan calls for people to have the right to buy the health care they want, to use price-transparency tools to shop for care and to get rebates from insurers when patient choices save money. The plan said DeSantis would maintain quality care by “resisting any effort to ration health care” in Tallahassee. “Every day in the grocery store, we make decisions about what we want to buy, weighing price, necessity, and quality, and deciding what’s right for us,” the proposal said.

Bombs allegedly sent by Florida man to Trump critics were ‘not hoax devices’: Authorities arrested Cesar Sayoc, 56, last week in Plantation for allegedly mailing 13 pipe bombs to prominent Democrats. Sayoc has a criminal history and maintains social media accounts filled with far-right conspiracy theories, threats to Trump critics, and racist, anti-Semitic and transphobic memes. Sayoc was charged with five crimes, including interstate transportation of an explosive, illegal mailing of explosives, threats against former presidents and certain other persons, threatening interstate communications and assaulting federal officers.

Records suggest Andrew Gillum lied about receiving gifts from FBI agent in 2016: Democratic gubernatorial nominee Gillum’s hotel expenses and a ticket to a Broadway show were paid for by undercover FBI agents, newly released records show. The release of photos, a video and dozens of text messages between Gillum, former lobbyist Adam Corey and an undercover agent – originally obtained by the Tampa Bay Times – are the latest tidbits in the federal investigation into public corruption among Tallahassee city staff. The records also seem to corroborate accusations that allege Gillum traveled for free with lobbyist friends to Costa Rica.

Judge clears way for challenges to Florida’s pre-emptive gun law: A circuit judge has given a boost to more than 30 local governments challenging a 2011 state law that threatens penalties for local officials who approve gun restrictions. Leon County Circuit Judge Charles Dodson refused a request by Attorney General Pam Bondi to dismiss three lawsuits that contest the law. Localities challenged the law after the Parkland shooting, as some looked at approving gun-related measures. The Legislature passed the tough penalties as a way of enforcing a law that gives control of gun regulation to the state rather than localities, threatening removal from office and fines for officials who try to set gun policy in their own towns.

Ron DeSantis refuses to disclose details of $145,000 in taxpayer-funded travel: DeSantis submitted expenses each quarter showing how he spent the money from January 2013 to June 2018, which was between $1.1 million and $1.4 million each year. But DeSantis wouldn’t release receipts of his taxpayer-funded trips, including information on where he went, the reason for traveling and what kind of ticket he bought. Before winning the GOP nomination, DeSantis made 121 appearances on Fox and Fox Business – said to be worth about $9.3 million in free airtime. orlandoweekly.com

Because the scariest thing on Election Day to Florida politicians and special interests is a well-informed voter

Amendment 3

BY O RLANDO WEEK LY ED I TOR I A L STA F F

eeling that chill in the air and the terrifying suspicion that someone, somewhere is making it harder for you to vote? Welcome to the 2018 election. Back in 2016, we asked you to vote for the sake of, you know, the world – and then some of you didn’t, and, well, just look around you now. The stakes in Florida’s midterm elections are too high for you to skip out again this time around. The state is facing the equivalent of an environmental horror movie with dead fish, turtles, manatees and dolphins washing up in grotesque piles on the shores of both coasts as toxic algae fumes make beach visitors sick. Close to half of Floridians can’t afford to live in this hellish state overflowing with lowwage hospitality jobs, but it wouldn’t really matter if you had enough money because we’re in an affordable housing crisis (and no one in charge seems to care). While Gov. Rick Scott lies about protecting preexisting conditions despite pushing Florida into a lawsuit to end them, his potential replacement, Ron DeSantis, flat-out refuses to release a real health care plan for the state. The Trump administration has been consistent, though – that is, consistently racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic and absolutely determined to ruin our democracy. On the ballot this year are key races for several positions, including U.S. Senator, governor, attorney general, agriculture commissioner and Orange County sheriff – oh, and 12 amendments that would fundamentally alter our state constitution and, in one case, directly affect at least 1.5 million Floridians, so hey, no pressure. Orlando Weekly compiled this voting guide to help you keep your amendments and candidates in order, making you the only thing that throws politicians and the special interest groups who stuff them with cash into panicked frenzies – an informed voter. We’ve included our recommendations (which lean Democratic because, well, we’re a progressive-leaning publication). But everyone in Florida, even those we fundamentally disagree with,

should vote. With our democracy being challenged daily, it’s important to let your voice be heard. Early voting in Orange County runs daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Sunday, Nov. 4, at 16 voter locations, including a new polling spot at the University of Central Florida. Find all locations at ocfelections. com. On Election Day, polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6, and you are required to vote in the polling place assigned to the precinct where you live (which you can find on your voter registration card or ocfelections.com). Bring photo identification with a signature, such as a driver’s license, or you will have to vote with a provisional ballot. Take the guide on page 17 with you to the voting booth if you need it. Happy voting.

AMENDMENTS: Note: All amendments need 60 percent voter approval to pass.

Amendment 1

This ballot proposal from the Florida Legislature reels in voters with the prospect of reducing their taxes, but at what cost? Currently, homeowners get a couple of exemptions to reduce their property bills. The first homestead exemption from all taxes is on the initial $25,000 of assessed value on a property. The second is an additional $25,000 exemption for homestead properties assessed between $50,000 and $75,000 from all taxes other than school district taxes. Amendment 1 would allow an additional $25,000 homestead tax exemption for properties valued between $100,000 and $125,000. School taxes, again, would be exempt from this measure. If passed, anyone with a home valued over $125,000 can get about $75,000 worth of exemptions, the League of Women Voters of Florida argues. Homeowners and their wallets would probably appreciate the estimated $250 drop in their tax bills. But municipal city

and county governments will suffer. They have to absorb the hit of this tax cut to their revenue sources for local services like police officers, firefighters and libraries – to the tune of a $752.7 million fiscal impact in the first year, according to the Florida Association of Counties. And when backed into a corner, local governments will usually cut services or raise millage rates – so choose wisely.

Amendment 2

Here’s another tax-cut special proposed by Florida lawmakers that could have deeper fiscal consequences. This ballot proposal makes permanent an existing propertytax assessment cap on “non-homestead properties,” which includes second homes, apartments, office buildings, shopping centers and other commercial properties. The cap, which expires in 2019 unless this amendment passes, limits increases to the assessed value of a property to no more than 10 percent in a single year. For example, if the property value of a vacation home suddenly jumps 30 percent in a year because more theme parks have been built nearby, the owner would only pay 10 percent of the increase on the tax bill. Supporters say Amendment 2 is good for property owners and rejecting it would cause a substantial tax increase that could have serious impacts by “decreasing disposable income, increasing rents and business costs, and exacerbating and perpetuating the existing inequities of Florida’s property tax system,” Florida TaxWatch says. Opponents, though, argue the cap hurts local governments who would benefit from the revenue of increasing properties within their boundaries. The additional funds for Florida municipalities would be an estimated $688 million, according to the Revenue Estimating Conference.

The question at the heart of Amendment 3: Who deserves to authorize the expansion of casino gambling in Florida – state lawmakers or citizens? The choice: Vote yes if you feel as though citizens ultimately deserve the final say, or vote no if you prefer to leave the decision to lawmakers. The Florida Legislature isn’t fond of Amendment 3, and neither are some gambling lobbyists and the gaming industry. They’re worried that if the amendment passes, its supporters – the League of Women Voters, Disney, the Seminole Tribe (the latter two of which have contributed millions to the cause) – would then have to go through the heavy lifting of getting 60 percent of the public to approve a gambling expansion when the measure comes up on a future ballot. After all, Florida and its constituents aren’t the most politically predictable, and voters may nix the measure if given the chance. So there’s nuance to Amendment 3, because gambling isn’t a vice of everyone’s choice. It boils down to who you trust more to enact responsible gambling laws in Florida – the state Legislature or, figuratively speaking, your neighbors?

Amendment 4

Florida is one of only three states in the country that does not automatically restore the voting rights of felons who’ve completed their sentences – instead, the state has disenfranchised more than a million residents. The draconian law has racist roots in the Reconstruction and Jim Crow era, when recently emancipated African Americans were disproportionately jailed for crimes (including loitering), sentenced to labor and kept from the polls. Currently, ex-felons who want their voting rights back have to wait at least five years before they can ask to have their rights restored, and then must be judged before the clemency board run by Gov. Scott and his Cabinet. But the board meets quarterly to hear fewer than 100 cases, creating a backlog of about 10,000 cases. Despite a federal judge striking down the process as an unconstitutional and nonsensical scheme, Scott and his cabinet have refused to fix the problem. CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

OCT. 31-NOV. 6, 2018 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

Amendment 4 would automatically restore the voting rights of about 1.5 million people convicted of felonies who’ve completed their sentences, excluding those convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense. But Paul Wright, executive director of the Human Rights Defense Center, argues the ballot proposal also “perpetuates the discrimination and bigotry of disenfranchisement against a subclass of ex-felons – those convicted of murder or sex crimes,” and would enshrine that distinction permanently in the constitution. Still, Amendment 4 is an improvement over Florida’s current law and would make our democratic process a fairer, more equal one.

Amendment 5

Before voting for or against Amendment 5, ask yourself this: Should it be more difficult for the state to raise taxes than it is to cut them? If approved, Amendment 5 would tinker with the mechanics of the state Legislature by requiring a two-thirds vote of both the House and Senate in order to create new taxes or to hike existing ones. For now, Florida requires a simple majority from each chamber. Lower taxes! Oh, boy! Liberty! ... We get it. We like our hard-earned money just as much as the rest of you. But there’s a catch: Lower taxes means the state is raising less money to do things such as, say, funding public education or environmental programs, or even provide funds to emergency services if disaster were to strike in a state where hurricanes are practically omnipresent through half the year. State lawmakers haven’t raised taxes since 2009, when the 2008 recession prompted a vote to increase the tax on tobacco products by $1 and raised driver’s license fees. So should we make it harder to do so, even if worse may someday come to worst?

Amendment 6

Known as “Marsy’s Law,” Amendment 6 would expand the rights of crime victims in the judicial system to be protected from the 12

accused, to be notified promptly of court dates and to have their input considered at all proceedings where “a right of the victim is implicated,” including the clemency process. This ballot proposal is one of the so-called “bundled” amendments because it also includes some terms that have nothing to do with victims’ rights, including raising the mandatory retirement age for Florida judges from 70 to 75 and forcing judges to decide if a state agency interpreted a law correctly before ruling on a case, instead of the current practice of deferring to the agency. Opponents, though, have pointed out a number of troubling aspects in Marsy’s Law. For one, Florida already has state laws protecting crime victims with the provision that those rights don’t “interfere with the constitutional rights of the accused.” The amendment deletes this line – and could upset the balance between the two. The term “victim” would be expanded to include those who suffer “financial harm,” and the ACLU of Florida argues this would give corporations the right to inject themselves into criminal proceedings for even relatively minor crimes like shoplifting. Marsy’s Law may be well-intentioned, but it ultimately comes way too close to messing with the constitutionally protected rights of people who haven’t yet been found guilty.

Amendment 7

Trust us when we say Amendment 7 is the epitome of a mixed bag. Approval would do three things: It would enable surviving family members of Floridabased military members and additional first responders (firefighters, paramedics, law enforcement, probation officers, etc.) killed in the line of duty to receive death benefits; additionally, surviving family members would also have educational costs waived. It would require nine votes out of a university board of 13 trustees to raise any fee, not including tuition. And it would also establish the existing state college system as a constitutional entity, while providing a governing structure. Sure, by requiring a higher threshold to increase fees for students, the costs of

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● OCT. 31-NOV. 6, 2018 ● orlandoweekly.com

attending a university could be kept at a reasonable level – books and transportation on campus could potentially be cheaper. Yet it could also be argued that the other proposals within the measure provide too much authority to too small of a group of individuals to prevent fee raises, which could actually hurt universities, in that they wouldn’t be able to afford certain services.

Amendment 9

Arguably the least complicated of the “bundled” amendments, a vote in favor of Amendment 9 would prohibit oil and gas drilling off Florida’s coast (but not in federal waters, which extend slightly farther), while also prohibiting vaping (as in no e-cigarette smoking) in workplaces and public spaces. It’s not the worst case of give and take, right? As the Trump administration has awkwardly pushed to open state waters back up to the oil and gas drilling industry, and as an existing moratorium on installing drilling rigs near Florida’s coast expires in 2022, Amendment 9 seems like the best line of defense against the threat of such backwards environmental policy. The price: Your vaping habit will have to be taken outside (or into the office bathroom). Really, the vaping ban would just be an inevitable follow-up to Florida’s 2002 law that banned tobacco smoking in workplaces and in most indoor public spaces. If Amendment 9 were to pass, the state Legislature would then be required to pass vaping restrictions effective July 1, 2019.

Amendment 10

Four unrelated topics join to form one mouthful of a bundled ballot proposal known as the “State and Local Government Structure Amendment.” The first would force the state’s 60-day legislative session to begin in January rather than March during even-numbered years (currently, Florida lawmakers make that decision). The second and third require the state to create a domestic security and counterterrorism office within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, as well as a state Department of Veterans Affairs (both of which already exist).

Finally, Amendment 10 mandates elections for certain local offices, including sheriff, tax collector, property appraiser, supervisor of elections and clerk of the circuit court, and stops counties from abolishing these offices. Proponents say this amendment returns power to hold officials accountable to the voters. But those against argue it’s an effort to insert politicians into critical county offices and restrict local control, especially in Miami-Dade County, where officials appoint a police director instead of electing a sheriff.

Amendment 11

Florida’s ballot has yet another bundled amendment, though this one is also usually described as a “housekeeping” proposal. Amendment 11 removes discriminatory language from the state constitution that prohibits “aliens ineligible for citizenship,” known today as non-citizens, from buying, owning or selling property. The language is a remnant from when the nation wanted to keep Asian farmers from owning land during the early part of the 20th century, but it was reportedly never enforced in Florida. The proposal also removes obsolete language regarding a high-speed railway being built across the state that voters approved in 2000 and later overturned in 2004. Perhaps most important, Amendment 11 deletes a constitutional provision known as the “Savings Clause” that bars any changes to a criminal statue being applied retroactively. If, for example, Florida lawmakers decide to reduce mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses,

those new rules could apply to people convicted before the law was changed. The National Rifle Association supports this clause, presumably hoping that revisions to the “Stand Your Ground” law can be applied retroactively to old cases. But the ACLU of Florida also supports the amendment, arguing that “reforms to mandatory minimum sentencing or drug policy reform could apply to people currently serving under sentences that the legislature no longer believes are fair.”

Amendment 12

Amendment 12 – yes, you guessed it, another bundled measure – would attempt to minimize certain crooked activity among former politicians turned lobbyists. It would require elected officials, including former judges and justices, to be out of office for at least six years before they’re permitted to lobby the state’s legislative and executive branches. Currently, former elected officials are required to undergo a two-year waiting period, which isn’t a long time in the world of political special interests. Amendment 12 would also establish a solid definition of “public officer” to include any statewide elected officer, Legislature member, county commissioner and school board member, among other governing positions. Going further, it would prohibit those same public officers or their employees from using their positions to “disproportionately benefit” themselves, their families or businesses. And it would ban elected officials from lobbying a political agency or governing body on all policy matters. So Amendment 12’s purpose is to nix the buddy system among former elected officials turned lobbyists and their former colleagues. Those who’ve made the jump to the private sector have a way of hustling votes, while also shoring up elected officials’ responsibilities to the public, and not to the private sector. It’s not a tall ask.

Amendment 13

For starters, how do you feel about greyhound racing? Do you find the sport to be cruel and outdated, as it’s lagged

in popularity in recent years? Or do you not have a problem with it, even if state investigators have tested racing greyhounds positive for cocaine and steroids, among other illegal substances? If approved, Amendment 13 would ban greyhound racing by 2020, effectively shuttering the sport at 11 dog tracks across Florida – the K-9 racing capital of the U.S., where there are more tracks than the rest of the country combined. The amendment would also allow track owners to keep their gambling permits if they halt the sport by 2019. That means the former dog tracks could still operate as, say, card or slot rooms, which brings in the bulk of the businesses’ money anyway. With the passage of Amendment 13, Florida would fall in step with 40 other states that have outlawed dog racing. The nonprofit greyhound advocacy group Grey2K USA Worldwide estimates that there are currently about 8,000 greyhounds in the Sunshine State, some of which live in stacked cages just tall enough for them stand up straight in, in which they’re confined for 20 to 23 hours a day.

widely covered midterm competitions in 2018. And as if to throw gas on an already blazing dumpster-fire, the candidates – a Republican who’s modeled his campaign around the newly minted Trumpian toughman archetype, and a progressive Democrat who’s paddled into the so-called blue wave – are polar opposites of each other, both from a policy standpoint and ethically. Because this particular election represents a watershed moment in Florida politics, and because the election of the state’s first African American governor would represent a direct repudiation of Trump, we support Democratic Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum in his gubernatorial bid.

Attorney General

CANDIDATE RECOMMENDATIONS:

Pam Bondi sees her successor in Republican candidate and former Hillsborough County Circuit Judge Ashley Moody. But like Bondi, Moody has already shown she’s open to special interests after taking $28,000 from the private prison corporation Geo Group. Florida Rep. Sean Shaw, a Democrat and the state’s former insurance consumer advocate, has promised, among other things, to investigate President Donald Trump’s businesses in Florida for corruption.

U.S. Senate

Chief Financial Officer

This one should be obvious: After eight years of Gov. Rick Scott’s irresponsible policies that changed our state for the worse – like allowing more cancer-causing chemicals in our water and helping elect a tangerine wrecking ball as president – the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate is shape-shifting into someone who suddenly cares about the toxic algae killing our wildlife, pre-existing medical conditions and standing up to Trump. Puh-lease. Democratic incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, on the other hand, is a reliable moderate who has worked tirelessly for Floridians in a bipartisan fashion to protect our state from oil drilling, preserve the Everglades and fight the gun lobby. Nelson deserves another term.

Governor

If you haven’t picked up on it by now, this is one of the nation’s most anticipated and

Jimmy Patronis, the state’s current CFO and a former Gov. Rick Scott appointee to the Florida Public Service Commission, is a Panama City restaurant owner and termedout former Republican member of the state House. His opponent, Jeremy Ring, a former Democratic member of the state Senate with a business background, wants to build a state economy that doesn’t count on recruiting low-paying companies like Amazon – and that’s why we support him.

Agriculture Commissioner

If you’re pissed about how Florida has managed to drag its bureaucratic feet on implementing medical marijuana, even after a voter-approved amendment effectively legalized it in 2016, then you’ll understand our support of Democrat Nikki Fried, a medical marijuana attorney and lobbyist, over state Rep. Matt Caldwell, who’s endorsed by the NRA.

U.S. Representative, District 7

A middle-of-the-road Democrat isn’t a bad thing, especially when that same moderate liberal is facing off against a GOP candidate who’s received an “A” rating from the NRA and wants to make undocumented immigrants pay for Trump’s border wall. We support Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy over Republican state Rep. Mike Miller.

U.S. Representative, District 8

Republican U.S. Rep. Bill Posey has represented District 8 for more than a decade, which makes sense when you consider how Republicans outnumber Democrats 43 percent to 27 percent in Indian and River counties. But we appreciate underdogs and progressive change, so we support community activist Sanjay Patel in his bid to unseat Posey.

U.S. Representative, District 9

Incumbent Democrat Darren Soto has proven himself in his freshman term by getting stuff done, particularly around providing resources to Hurricane Maria evacuees left behind by FEMA. This second attempt by Republican St. Cloud businessman Wayne Liebnitzky to win this seat isn’t much better than the first.

State Representative, District 30

Altamonte Springs Republican Bob Cortes led the failed crusade to get OrangeOsceola State Attorney Aramis Ayala removed from office for not supporting the death penalty and was one of eight Central Florida lawmakers who declined to even hear an assault weapons ban after the Parkland high school shooting. The better choice for new leadership is Maitland City Council member Joy Goff-Marcil, a Democrat.

State Representative, District 44

Incumbent GOP Rep. Robert “Bobby O” Olszewski has mostly toed the Republican line during his year in office, earning him the financial backing of nearby Disney and Universal. But former Democratic state Rep. Geraldine Thompson is the better choice for her extensive experience, CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

State Representative, District 47

Republican candidate Stockton Reeves campaigned less on his platform and more on Democrat Anna Eskamani being a woman who curses, hates misogyny and doesn’t appreciate the patriarchy. Not only is Reeves’ campaign shamefully retrograde and frankly sexist, we also sometimes curse when we encounter injustice, actually. Eskamani’s progressive platform of creating opportunities for all is the smarter choice.

State Representative, District 48

We don’t really know what platform GOP candidate George Chandler, a former federal official, brings to the table because he was a last-minute pick. Democrat Amy Mercado has served voters well in the state House and advocated strongly for newly arrived Hurricane Maria evacuees.

State Representative, District 49

Republican Ben Griffin’s platform is to keep taxes low, focus on “Christian” values and not much else. Guess what, Ben: Not all of your constituents are Christian! Shocker! Meanwhile, incumbent Democrat Carlos Guillermo Smith has been a powerful, progressive voice in the Florida House, most notably on gun restrictions and LGBTQ rights.

Florida Supreme Court Judge Alan Lawson

One of Gov. Scott’s conservative appointees to the bench, Supreme Court Judge Alan Lawson has received the approval of 87 percent of Florida Bar members polled who consider a judge’s integrity, judicial temperament and impartiality. We recommend voters retain Lawson.

Fifth District Court of Appeals Judge Eric Eisnaugle

Despite having no experience as a judge whatsoever, GOP state Rep. Eric Eisnaugle – yes, that same Eisnaugle whose claim to fame has been co-sponsoring an NRAbacked bill to ban schools from disciplining children who chew Pop-Tarts or other breakfast pastries into gun shapes – was appointed to one of the highest courts in Florida by Gov. Scott. He hasn’t made a good impression since then, according to the 66 percent of Florida Bar members who gave him the lowest retention rating in the state. We recommend voters not reappoint Eisnaugle.

Circuit Judge Group 9

Both Dean Mosley and Laura Shaffer are good candidates for this position, but Shaffer’s experience as a former supervising attorney with the Department of Children and Families who has since focused on human trafficking victims and juvenile law is needed here.

That kind of wasteful spending isn’t needed at the county, which is why we recommend voters turn to Patricia Rumph, a 30-year career veteran of the state Department of Corrections focused on increasing economic opportunities.

Both Pete Crotty and Mayra Uribe have action plans we like. Crotty, a businessman and survivor of drug addiction and alcoholism who is the younger brother of former Orange County mayor Rich Crotty, has a deep passion to stem the opioid epidemic locally. Uribe, a construction company owner who previously worked for U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson’s office, has put forth concrete steps to make housing more affordable and reduce the wage gap. We appreciate Crotty’s advocacy and had a tough time making a call on this one, but

new perspectives are needed at Orange County, which is why we recommend Uribe.

Orange County District 4

Commission,

Both candidates in this race consider the lack of affordable housing and the need for a better transportation system in the county a top issue. Outgoing Orange County Commissioner Jennifer Thompson’s former aide Susan Makowski has detailed plans on public safety and the environment for this district. Her opponent, Maribel Gomez Cordero, is a clinical psychotherapist formerly with the state Department of Children and Families and community advocate who wants to focus on stopping urban sprawl in the district and higher-paying jobs. While Makowski as an insider knows how to navigate the red tape to get things done, this board needs some fresh blood, not more of the same, so we recommend Gomez Cordero.

Orange County Sheriff

The only Democrat in this race, Darryl Sheppard, has been arrested multiple times and posts fake Trump tweets. Orlando Police Chief John Mina brings the experience, but he and his opponent, retired Florida Highway Patrol Chief Joe Lopez, both said at a police union forum that they’re not in favor of a county citizens review board. Additionally, Mina has helped lead OPD into testing a powerful real-time mass surveillance program with Amazon, sans ethical guidelines. The Sheriff ’s Office requires the highest level of accountability, and for that reason, we cannot recommend any candidate in this race.

Orange County School Board, District 7

Melissa Mitchell Byrd, a substitute teacher at Orange County Public Schools, has a vague platform for improving the district, though she has been endorsed by several business associations. The better candidate in this race is Eric Schwalbach, a former teacher at OCPS for over 20 years who now teaches in Lake County, who has indicated his commitment to holding forprofit charter schools accountable.

Orange County Soil and Water Conservation District, Seat 2

First-time candidate Sean McQuade is eager, but his environmental platform is thin. Incumbent Daisy Morales is the better choice for her outreach to the community and focus on environmental justice.

Orange County Soil and Water Conservation District, Seat 4

William “Derek” Ryan is a commercial landscape maintenance professional who helps manage properties’ use of over 2 billion gallons of irrigation water, so he understands the problem, but the better candidate is Dawn Curtis, who’s committed to sustainable soil and water practices.

Orange County School Board 2

Both teachers running in this race would bring needed perspective to the Orange County School Board, but Colonial High School educator Johanna López rejects charter school money, holds a strong commitment to public schools and was the district’s 2016 Teacher of the Year. orlandoweekly.com

At each location, holding your phone over a City Unseen plaque snaps a three-dimensional object onto the screen or adds a new layer to the known world. At the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Miami artist Felice Grodin presents “Below Sea Level.” With a master’s degree in architecture, she sees the city as a bit more malleable than most. Close by in Lake Eola Park, artist Matthew Swenson interprets Andy Warhol’s “Silver Clouds,” a series of chrome silver pillows he floated in a gallery. Here in Orlando, they are free to float in the sky. At several other locations, including the Mall at Millenia, in Mills 50 and even in Winter Park, Snap installations will feature AR work by Los Angeles’ Nancy Baker Cahill and Can Büyükberber, a Turkish artist. Mark Gmehling will re-create his lost street art mural “Drinsch,” painted six stories high above the Mills 50 Snap gallery in 2014. When you point your camera at the new Drinsch, he’ll unpucker his lips a bit for you. orlandoweekly.com

Inside the Snap gallery, more artists make use of the ubiquitous camera phone to put a twist on their work. Bizarre effects emanate from art by Ivan Toth Depeña, Mark-o-matic and Dengke Chen. Local artist Synthestruct invites you to don biometric headgear so you can witness giant shapes that change depending on your stress level, breathing and heartbeat. Mark Gerstein’s more classic work uses projection mapping to investigate the eerie side of suburbia. And finally, Matt Roberts will invite you to explore your personal space (well, don’t get too personal) with a microscope, the result projected on a screen and interpreted in text by poet Terri Witek. AR technology has recently smoothed out its rough edges, allowing viewers easier access into an artificially enhanced visual world. As always, fine art quickly found the cutting edge (as when digital artist Sebastian Errazuriz plastered virtual graffiti on artist Jeff Koons’ virtual balloon dog). With so many people shuffling along the sidewalk nose down, instead of eyes on the surrounding city, artists are going where the action is – on the tiny screens that sadly pass for the new reality. Some of the best artists working in this new medium will be on display at Snap Space. If you can’t take your eyes off your screen, the screen will bring its own reality to you. arts@orlandoweekly.com

I was swift to RSVP for Wawa Shabbawa on Oct. 26, little knowing the tragic significance that particular Shabbat would soon take on.

BY SETH KUBERSKY WAWA SHABBAWA | PHOTOS BY SETH KUBERSKY

I’ve been writing about former wich. I attempted to explain to Olson, who Central Floridian performance artist Brian Feldman for over a decade, and from the very first time I covered his conceptual projects in this column, I’ve commented on our shared Hebrew heritage. Even though I’m an agnostic who barely celebrates Passover or Yom Kippur – aka the Jewish equivalent of an Easter-and-Christmas Christian – I’ve actually observed more religious rituals alongside Feldman over the years than I have with any rabbi, from lighting the Hanukkah menorah inside IKEA and Cracker Barrel to his recent unexpected (and greatly appreciated) appearance at a family funeral a thousand miles away. Naturally, when my invitation arrived to the Orlando premiere of Wawa Shabbawa, Feldman’s newest Semite-centric show, I was swift to RSVP for Oct. 26, little knowing the tragic significance that particular Shabbat would soon take on. Last Friday’s overbooked performance attracted longtime Feldman followers (including Orange County arts and culture director Terry Olson, sketch artist Thomas Thorspecken and Feldman’s family), members of local congregations, and some Gentile Shabbos virgins to the Wawa near Orlando Fashion Square Mall on East Colonial Drive. We commandeered the convenience store’s outdoor picnic tables, passed around carbonated grape drink and Philly pretzels (tasty substitutes for Manischewitz and challah), and recited the traditional blessings by the electric glow of Feldman’s battery-powered candles. After our prayers we feasted on Wawa’s famous hoagies, sponsored by OneTable, a national nonprofit which makes Shabbat dinner more accessible for millennials. I skipped the bacon, but still broke kosher law by putting cheese on my turkey sand-

appeared nonplussed over his salad and milkshake, why Wawa – which I often liken to a 7-Eleven that died and went to convenience store heaven – inspires such devotion from its fans. Feldman’s answer to the question, “Why Wawa?,” began with his usual absurdism: “First, I just want you to say the name out loud: Wawa Shabbawa. I think it’s pretty funny, and pretty Jewish. I just like saying the name.” Poetic license aside, Feldman has been both shopping at Wawa and hosting themed Shabbat dinners (including karaoke Shabbats) for several years. He got the idea to combine them while visiting what was then the world’s largest Wawa in Washington, where he premiered the project earlier this year. “When the Wawa in D.C. opened up, I was in line before they opened,” Feldman said. “I walked in and saw they had all these tables set up, and I thought ‘this would be a great place to host a Shabbat,’ but it was so packed that I had to wait a little bit.” Following its D.C. debut, Feldman held a Wawa Shabbawa in Tampa; next, he’s received a grant to host Hanukkah parties in all eight of Washington’s wards, a stunt he’s been planning since he moved there in 2012. On the surface, Feldman’s performances might seem lightweight, but even his secular projects have had lasting spiritual impact. Following 2008’s Leap Year Day, “a woman left her job after seeing my performance,” Feldman said. “She told me she was so moved by the concept of the project [that] she left her profession and changed careers.” And though he selfdeprecatingly describes his events as “like a reality show that will never be on TV” and

“incredibly boring,” there’s nothing ironic about his “legit” love of Jewish traditions. “I was in Hebrew Day School of Central Florida [now Jewish Academy of Orlando] from third grade to seventh grade,” he said, “so I grew up with the most religious experience of anyone in my family. It’s a part of who I am, and I’m proud of it.” Growing up in liberal suburban New Jersey and living in multicultural Orlando, I never imagined that lighting candles at a convenience store could be considered brave. But our dinner came just days after our President dog-whistled to racists by proudly declaring himself a “nationalist” and on the same day that a George Sorosobsessed terrorist was arrested, a man who lived within walking distance of my father’s Aventura home. “I think it’s a great time for something like this, to say hey, we’re Jewish and we’re in public,” Feldman said. Mere hours later, 11 people were murdered in a Pittsburgh synagogue by a shooter whose express objective was “to kill Jews.” In our current environment, openly celebrating Shabbat isn’t simply an amusing art project, but a potentially dangerous act of political protest, and I’m proud to have raised the kiddush cup of Fanta alongside Feldman for all to see. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

On another visit, the starters arrived in timely fashion and in accortheatrically flecked with Maldon sea salt. I felt a need to salt the 28-day, dry-aged, dance with restaurant protocol. First, a steak tartare ($17) given a lusbone-in ribeye ($52) a little more myself. “Do it like that guy,” said my dining com- cious makeover (tableside, of course!) with rade, and I knew perfectly well who he the addition of marrow scooped from the meant. So, with elbow cocked, wrist con- bone and mixed into the meaty mélange.

It’s served with a few slices of sourdough toast. Small quibble: Serve it with more sourdough toast. After ordering cacik ($10), a spicy yogurt-cucumber dip, we realized it didn’t really go with anything. Nor was it served with any kind of bread. So we just spooned into it periodically like a wet snack before the “chateau filet” ($90) for two arrived. Cuts of the wet-aged tenderloin were seared ever so slightly in the restaurant’s charcoal-fired Josper oven before being finished (tableside, of course!) in a butter-pooled hot plate. Özdemir, donning black gloves during the whole production, crowned the meat with bread prior to serving it. Simply glorious. Salt a little more generously, should you wish (you will), and spike it with crushed Aleppo pepper, should the urge strike (it will). Also, do your gallbladder a solid by NOT dipping any bread into that puddle of lustrous death. For the steak-averse, strozzapreti ($32) provides enough gusto to go with the gimmick. The toothy pasta with oyster mushrooms, fresh basil and bits of corned beef – not pancetta – in a cream sauce is thrown into a hollowed Parmesan wheel set alight with a little rum. It’s all tossed (tableside, of course!) in the rapidly melting cheese and then served. I loved it. Intriguing desserts like milk pudding muhallebi with pomegranates and walnuts ($9) and a translucent candied pumpkin ($11) resembling Turkish delight – only drizzled with tahini and topped with cream and walnuts – elicited grunts of the good kind. Craft cocktails are given the serious treatment, and while the $35 corkage fee is a bit steep, markup on wines isn’t as outrageous as other area restaurants. Steaks, you’ll notice, don’t come cheap at H Cuisine, particularly when taking the small portion sizes into consideration. But I can say without reservation that the restaurant is worth its weight in salt, bae. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

Venerated restaurant has lost much of its luster over the years, though its menu of classic French cuisine (with dishes that miss the mark more often than not) are still as pricey as ever.

HHHHH

RITUAL IN RED Suspiria remake is all about the witchcraft BY PEG A LOI

he remake of Suspiria, Dario Argento’s 1977 cult horror classic, has been the subject of much speculation and anticipation. After his romantic feature Call Me by Your Name was received with such adoration, it seemed odd that director Luca Guadagnino would tackle such a highprofile horror reboot. The wait is finally over, and from the looks of the critical landscape, opinions are already sharply divided. Dear Reader: I loved it. But I did not love all of it. I’ve been an ardent fan of the original Suspiria for years, even with its awkward dubbing and confusing storyline. I find it chilling and beautiful and always capable of eliciting that visceral shudder that I think many horror fans seek out but find to be elusive (especially now, when the offerings are so prolific but mostly mediocre). What makes Suspiria so effective for me is its simplicity: the candy-colored mise en scène; the repetitive, haunting score. The film doesn’t follow a typical narrative structure; rather, it seems to craft lush, moody segments of a story that takes place in a dreamy nether realm. Ostensibly set in Berlin, the city feels awfully like Rome (because it was mostly shot there). This might explain why Guadagnino felt compelled to anchor the

remake firmly in place: Apart from a short eerie prologue set in rural Ohio, the remaining “six episodes and an epilogue” (as the opening titles tell us) take place in “a divided Berlin.” The specific political context, including references to BaaderMeinhof and the Red Army Faction, is intriguing, but it’s not entirely clear what it has to do with witches. In the first prologue, a young dancer named Patricia (Chloe Grace Moretz) is nervously pacing during a session with her psychiatrist, Dr. Klemperer (Tilda Swinton, playing an elderly man), babbling about witches who are threatening her. Then we see a pastoral scene set in a Midwest farmhouse where an Amish woman is dying, surrounded by her many children. Then the first of six episodes begins with Susie Bannion (Dakota Johnson), a dancer whose arrival at the elite Markos Dance Academy causes ripples when her demanding instructor, Madame Blanc (also Tilda Swinton), is immediately captivated by her talent. Her classmate Sara (the excellent Mia Goth) tells her about the disappearance of her friend Patricia, and when she is not rehearsing the demanding lead role she nabbed on her first day, Susie helps Sara snoop for clues to Patricia’s whereabouts. Amid an atmosphere of suspicious gossip,

several dancers are brutally murdered, and Susie and Sara’s searching leads them closer to the evil at the heart of the school. Unlike the rather clumsy expository dialogue in Argento’s screenplay (cowritten with Daria Nicolodi), this reboot, rewritten by David Kajganich (A Bigger Splash), is subtle and complex. At its center are the “matrons,” the cabal/coven of dance academy instructors (played by a fantastic assortment of European actresses) who live and socialize together. The scenes where they prepare food together or go out to a local bar, cackling and smoking, are casually intimate and captivating. The witches’ sub-story is told in non-linear ways, with voice-over dialogue unrelated to the action, as in a dreamy segment where the matrons cast votes related to their next magic ritual: a resurrection of their matriarchal leader (again, played by Tilda Swinton). The ritual occurs alongside the climactic dance performance and Susie finds herself at the center of the horror. I won’t give more away, but the film’s climax is an outrageous bacchanalian spectacle unlike any I’ve ever seen (though some snippets of the X-rated version of Caligula come close). The newly imagined Suspiria looks and feels worlds apart from the original. Guadagnino’s low-key color palettes work just fine, until all hell literally breaks loose and glows red. This first foray into horror is impressive: bold and often perverse, although the intricate, somewhat inscrutable story feels a bit long. Apart from Dakota Johnson’s bland performance, the cast is excellent (Swinton’s triple tour de force will be talked about for years). Thom Yorke’s haunting score is a moody psych-folk odyssey that almost has a life of its own. Where Argento’s film derived its power from artful set pieces of violent murder, Guadagnino crafts a compelling atmosphere that suffuses every scene with dread and intrigue.

For one thing, she battles with anxiety and is painfully shy: “Music is what makes me feel most comfortable and most confident. I know it’s contradicting but I feel my most confident when I’m on stage.” For another, she had major health issues as a child and was forced to spend a lot of time in bed. “If anything, having that experience in my life makes me appreciate everything even more!” she says. “I’m more than lucky to be able to walk, never mind live a normal life, so I’m very thankful.” This upcoming U.S. trek will be the band’s biggest headlining tour to date. After that they’ll be heading back out with the 1975. See them in a small club while you still can. music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

If you haven’t already, go fucking

vote. It matters. Just when you thought the dust had settled from the wild live-venue derby of 2018, a late and out-of-the-blue entrant arrives to keep the rollercoaster going. Social media has been abuzz over the fresh news that Whiskey Lou’s Lounge has changed ownership. The part that’ll be of direct interest to the Orlando music scene, however, is that the ownership group includes Jim Faherty, the seminal nightlife impresario whose work fundamentally shaped the city’s music landscape as we know it today. History’s proven that if it involves Faherty, it’ll probably involve music. And that maxim will hold true with Whiskey Lou’s. Before anyone loses their shit, though, Faherty emphasized to me that nothing will change with the essence and vibe of the bar. That’s great, reassuring news since Whiskey Lou’s has long been a place of genuine character, a real old-school local spot. It’ll just get a little louder and a little more live from time to time. Much will ultimately determine the shape and scope of this development, but right now he’s thinking the stage will light up one or two nights a week. It’s a bar first, so there will never be a cover charge. Expect happenings to start bubbling up there in the next month or so. The Modern Music Movement already has the stage booked on Dec. 8 for Nashville rock band Lola Montez. Although Whiskey Lou’s won’t be turning into a full-time music venue, it does add another stage in a trending neighborhood. What’s more, Faherty tells me he’s open to ideas, so hit him up. Consider Whiskey Lou’s alongside Iron Cow and the Nook

Foreign Dissent is a real discovery event. None of these bands has an established fan base here, yet people still turn out to see them. It’s like a concert utopia and suddenly 2018 looks like a banner year for the Milk District in terms of music scene presence.

FOREIGN DISSENT 5, WILL’S PUB, OCT. 22

Good ideas abound, yet many fail to stick while lesser ones persist. It’s an unfair world. Thankfully, Foreign Dissent – the annual global punk-rock showcase diligently and lovingly put on by local promoter Punching Babies – has endured to become a proud Orlando tradition. More than just another regular show, the series has become a one-night mini festival unto itself, powered by the momentum of a Central Florida influx of bands on the road to the big annual punk mecca of the Fest in Gainesville, support by the punk community and the total belief and dedication of organizer Craig Mazer. To mark its landmark fifth year, the latest Foreign Dissent blew it out with an eightband bill spanning five countries. It was a night of consistently solid performances by notably together bands. Superlative appearances included the melodic aggression of Canadian duo Mobina Galore and the emotional and

dynamic post-hardcore of English band Hora Douse, who prove that feeling and torque need not be mutually exclusive things. Probably the most sonically focused act were Dutch band Lone Wolf. With a live attack that’s astonishingly big-time, they specialize in storming, melodic punk rock that throws open the throttle on its way to total triumph. But one of the most memorable performances of the night came from Happy Accidents, a U.K. band making their American debut. With their charming songs and refreshing lack of punk stereotype, their brisk yet substantial twee-punk was a sparkling standout with indie appeal, coed vocals and aptitude for melody. What I love more than any single band, though, is the phenomenon of the happening. For showgoers, it’s a real discovery event, something vitally important to the health of a music scene but so often undervalued, especially in Orlando. Being unknown and from abroad, none of these bands has an established fan base here. Yet people still turn out to see them. It’s like a concert utopia. Whether they’re curious, open-minded or good about doing their homework, it’s a great index of true live-music fans. Moreover, it’s become an event that fosters international fellowship through music, a small but meaningful modern countermeasure that’s needed more now than perhaps ever. You can feel it in the air and hear it in the thanks that every band expresses to the audience while on stage. Foreign Dissent is a testament to the power and unity of punk-rock positivity. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

C.H.E.W. MUSIC

Cocaine, Heroin, Ecstasy, Weed? Capitalist Hierarchies Exploit Workers? Or my personal favorite – Crotchety Hooligans Exhibit Wonder? In reality, C.H.E.W. stands for nothing but a sonic whirlwind that punches you right in the gut. With a slew of releases over the past two years since their demo, C.H.E.W. comes back to the City Beautiful to showcase their debut LP, Feeding Frenzy, on Iron Lung Records. Though hailing from Chicago, vocalist Doris Jeane is the only native to the area. Backing Jeane are long-time Orlando ex-pats and hometown heroes Ben Rudolph (Time to Die, Khann, Great Deceivers, Hauzarest), Jonathan Giralt (Knife Hits, Cannabass) and Russell Harrison (Great Deceivers, Hauzarest, Dad’s Weed, Surfin Serf). All three of these musicians have left their mark on Orlando time and time again – and they’re back to provide the sonic storm that will be helping Jeane’s vocals propel you across the room and keep your head banging until you get a concussion. C.H.E.W. have proven that it is possible to create a perfect hardcore punk record in these chaotic times. With the return of Orlando’s favorite False Punk, we better see you in the pit, because it’s time to belly up. – Alex Thomas with Penetrode, False Punk, Karborätor, Witchbender | 8 p.m. | Uncle Lou’s, 1016 N.

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

With the recent restoration of college radio station par excellence WPRK 91.5 FM to the terrestrial airwaves, this year’s Fox Fest is an even more crucial celebration of the station and staff’s resilience. There will be sets from local shoegazers Acoqui, wiry young C86-ers TV Dinner, and Gainesville’s (via Paris, it should be noted) Pearl & the Oysters. For those who were saddened over a canceled engagement earlier this year, here is another chance to see this relentlessly catchy tropidelica duo. And with a new cassette on the way from tireless garage label Burger Records, you’d be recommended to catch Pearl now before the rest of the country figures out what the Florida underground already knows. Also, aside from the invited acts, Rollins students will be showing their stuff with DJ sets and performances. Come to the party and say thanks for keeping the left side of the radio dial eclectic. – Matthew Moyer

It seems like every few years, some artist or retro movement comes along that has pundits salivating over “the return of jazz!” It happened with La La Land. It happened with Norah Jones. And it even happened with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy for a couple of months in the ’90s. But jazz never really went anywhere but forward. Case in point: Moon Hooch. Formed by three students at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, Moon Hooch fuses jazz instrumentation – two saxophonists and a drummer – and improvisational songwriting with the dancefloor aesthetic of a warehouse rave. It’s a party-starting vibe that constantly threatens to go off the rails, but works perfectly within their energetic live performances. This one’s going to easily contain the most ass-shaking of any jazz concert of the fall. – Thaddeus McCollum with Honeycomb, Gary Lazer Eyes | 8 p.m. | The Abbey, 100 S. Eola Drive | abbeyorlando.com | $15-$18

EVENTS

Though the celebration technically takes place the day after Día de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead) ends, come out to the Henao Center for a culturally immersive evening celebration that honors the departed – you know, dead folks. Included with your ticket is entertainment (live music and body and face painting), a complimentary bar (it features tequila, so that’s always a plus) and more than enough dancing to go around. And did we mention the calavera (sugar skull) art? It’s a celebration of life, if you think about it – even if they’re dead and long gone. – Xander Peters

3D hardwood sculptures, hand-stamped jewelry, abstract acrylic paintings, vinyl dresses and baby bodysuits are only a few of the items being presented and sold at this Lake Eola art festival. Every fall and spring, the Orlando community gathers together to celebrate local and independent artists at this pet-friendly event. In fact, it might be Orlando’s largest annual event – the Orlando Police Department estimates that 250,000 people will visit over its twoday period. They’ll get a chance to enjoy the works of nearly 250 different art and food vendors. – Lora Korpar

Joel McHale COMEDY

If you’ve missed your daily dose of snarky Kardashian jokes since Joel McHale left the The Soup, you’ll get an opportunity to revel in the smarminess again – sans E! filter and Kris Jenner’s watchful eye – at the University of Central Florida’s Homecoming Comedy Knight. McHale joins fellow comedians Jaboukie YoungWhite and JF Harris for pop-culture skewering and reminiscing on what could have been if Republicans had made the smarter choice and elected a bag of flour with Ronald Reagan’s face drawn on it as their 2016 presidential nominee. – Monivette Cordeiro 7 p.m. | CFE Arena, UCF, 12777 Gemini Blvd. | 407-8233070 | cfearena.com | $25

Lecture: Severed Heads & the Power of Women ART

The title alone is enough to sell it, eh? CFAM couldn’t have known how incredibly timely their Dangerous Women show would be back when they booked it, but the current cresting wave of female rage makes these 16th- and 17th-century paintings of anti-misogynist activists perfectly au courant. While the artists may have simply taken advantage of biblical stories to paint beautiful semi-naked ladies, we the viewers are left with a record of knife-wielding badasses avenging their own honor. Rollins art history prof Ilenia Colon Mendoza will discuss these how images of Salome, Judith, Mary Magdalene and their sistren illustrate Laurel Thatcher Ulrich’s famous aphorism that “well-behaved women seldom make history” – or get their portraits placed in museums. – Jessica Bryce Young 6 p.m. | Cornell Fine Arts Museum, Rollins College, 1000 Holt Ave., Winter Park | 407-646-2526 | cfam.rollins.edu | free

Billy F. Gibbons MUSIC

You might know Billy Gibbons best from his iconic beard, pointing skills, streamlined guitar and laconic vocals on ZZ Top hits like “Gimme All Your Lovin’” and “Legs,” but there’s a whole lot more to the musical pedigree of this sharpdressed man. Gibbons’ early musical epiphanies included outré psychedelia, leading him as a teenager to form Texas cult weirdos the Moving Sidewalks pre-ZZ; it’s a phase that Gibbons thankfully never grew out of, reuniting the Sidewalks in 2013 and even backing Texas psych legend Roky Erickson live on guitar numerous times. But for now, Gibbons is on the road behind his second solo album, Big Bad Blues, and both the album and ensuing live sets hew closely to that heady descriptor. Gibbons is flanked on this tour by seasoned hands including Matt Sorum (the Cult, Guns N’ Roses) and singer-songwriter Austin Hanks. – MM with Matt Sorum, Austin Hanks | 7 p.m. | House of Blues, Disney Springs, Lake Buena Vista | 407-934-2583 | houseofblues.com | $29-$275

Sick ’n’ Wrong Film Festival FILM

Entering its third year, the Sick ’n’ Wrong Film Fest is hitting its stride as a weekend for fans of independent short films. Though horror is implied by the festival’s name, the screenings actually run the gamut between drama, horror, comedy and experimental genres. It’s just that each film selected to be screened at the festival has something transgressive about it, whether that’s special effects-heavy gore or pitch-black sexual humor. The shorts are divided up into themed blocks like “Technicolor Spew” and “Love Sucks III: The Golden Years,” but the opening “Welcome to Sick ’n’ Wrong” block is the easiest way to get an overview, with shorts like “A Short Film About Perverts” and the pictured “Poppy Seed Place: Fun” rubbing up against slightly more serious fare like the indie microbudget feature The God Inside My Ear. Stick around after each day for parties and secret screenings late at night. – Thaddeus McCollum 6 p.m. Friday, 1 p.m. Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday | Rogers Kiene Building, 39 S.

B Y D A N S AVA G E

I’m a 40-year-old married straight woman. I gave birth to our first kid in 2015 and our second earlier this year. My perineum tore and was stitched both times. I have not been able to have sex with penetration since having our second child. My OB/GYN said I’m “a little tighter now” due to the way the stitching was performed. My husband is very well endowed and I can’t imagine how on earth I’m ever going to get that thing back in me, let alone enjoy it. We have a history of pretty hot sex and I really miss it. I’ve been searching online for some sex toys to help me. I’ve never used sex toys before. I’ve always been able to have thrilling orgasms easily without any devices. I still can with manual stimulation. But I want to have sex with my husband. I’m confused and I just don’t know what I need to help me open back up and get through the pain. Please help! Thanks In Advance “Unfortunately, this situation is very common – but luckily there are options to help her get her groove back,” says Dr. Rachel Gelman, a pelvic floor physical therapist at the Pelvic Health and Rehabilitation Center. Also sadly common: OB/GYNs shrugging off concerns like yours, TIA. “I see that all the time,” Dr. Gelman says. “Part of the problem is that the pelvic floor/ muscles aren’t on most doctors’ radar. That’s due to many factors – cough, cough, insurance companies, cough, our dysfunctional health care system, cough – but to water it down, it’s the OB/GYN’s job to get someone through pregnancy and deliver a healthy baby. And when that’s accomplished, the feeling is their job is done.” But so long as you’re not able to have and enjoy PIV sex with your hung husband, TIA, there’s still work to do. “TIA needs to see a pelvic floor physical therapist,” Dr. Gelman says. “A good PT would be able to assess and treat any pelvic floor dysfunction, which is often the primary cause or a contributing factor for anyone experiencing pain with sex, especially after childbirth.” At this point Dr. Gelman began to explain that pushing a living, breathing, screaming human being out of your body is an intense experience and I explained to Dr. Gelman that I’ve had to push a few living, breathing, screaming human beings out of my body, thank you very much. Dr. Gelman clarified that she was talking about “the trauma of labor and delivery,” something with which I have no experience. “Labor and delivery can have a significant impact on the pelvic floor muscles which can cause a myriad of symptoms,” Dr. Gelman says. Pain during PIV sex sits high on the list of those symptoms. “The fact that TIA had tearing with the deliveries means she most likely has scar tissue, 46

and a PT would again be able to treat the scar to help decrease any hypomobility and hypersensitivity,” Dr. Gelman says. “A pelvic floor specialist can also instruct her in a home program which may include stretches, relaxation techniques, and dilators – dilators are graduated cylinders that are inserted vaginally to help stretch the vaginal opening and promote relaxation of the pelvic floor.” A set of “graduated cylinders” is essentially “a bouquet of dildos,” TIA. You start with the smallest dilator/dildo, inserting it every day until you can insert it without any pain or discomfort, and then you “graduate” to the next “cylinder.” You can order a set of dilators online, TIA, but Dr. Gelman wants you to find a doc that specializes in sexual medicine first. “There are some good medical associations that she can check out for resources and to help locate a provider in her area,” Dr. Gelman says. “The websites of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health, the International Society for Sexual Medicine and the International Pelvic Pain Society are where she should start.” I’m a 30-year-old woman, and about a year ago I started taking improv classes to help combat my social anxiety. I met a lot of awesome people in my class, but I took a particular shine to this one guy. He was a gentle soul, very sweet and really funny. We quickly became friends. Eventually I developed feelings for him and asked him out. He appreciated the offer but told me that he was gay. I was shocked and disappointed, but I wanted to keep our friendship so I tried to get over my feelings. But not only haven’t these feelings gone away, I’m actually falling in love with him. He recently confessed to me that he’s still semi-closeted and dealing with a bad breakup so I really don’t want to add to his problems. This is such a mess. I found this wonderful guy who I care about and yet nothing will ever happen because I was born the wrong gender. What can I do?!? Introvert Makes Pass, Regrets Overture Very Seriously Nothing. You can’t make that gay guy fall in love with you, IMPROVS, any more than I could make Hasan Minhaj fall in love with me. Getting over him is your only option, and that’s gonna take some time and most likely some space, too. (I’d recommend seeing less of your crush after this class ends.) But give yourself some credit for doing something proactive about your social anxiety, for taking a risk and for asking your classmate out. You didn’t take that improv class to find love, right? You took it to combat your social anxiety – and it sounds like you won a few battles, IMPROVS, if not the war. The takeaway here isn’t “It didn’t work with him

“FLOORED”

so why should I bother ever trying again with someone else?” but “I did it – I made a connection, I asked someone out, and I’m going do it again and hopefully it’ll work out next time.” I’m an early 30s hetero-flexible man in an open marriage with a bi woman, though both of us have been too chicken to actually go through on acting on the “open” part. Neither of us are hung up on jealousy, so that’s not a factor here. I recently confessed to my wife that I have had a long-standing desire to sleep with a trans woman. Yes, I know that it’s immature to not have disclosed all my kink cards prior to marriage, but I have my reasons, and thankfully, my wonderful wife let me off the hook and was very supportive. I expressed to her that I have considered seeing a professional trans escort rather than trying for a “hookup” situation. Her reaction was highly negative, as she has the impression that anyone in the sex trade industry is – by definition – a victim. Where do I go from here? I am uncomfortable with the idea of putting myself out there to meet a trans woman in my city (especially since I’m not looking for a relationship), but I don’t want to violate my wife’s trust and see an escort. Don’t Know What To Do Put yourself on a dating and/or hookup app, say that you’re partnered and only looking for something casual, and add that you welcome responses from trans women. Some trans women are rightly annoyed by all the cis men out there who only wanna hook up, DKWTD, and never date or be seen in public with them. But trans folks are just like other folks – some are taken, some are looking, some are taken and looking. If you get grief from a trans woman who’s annoyed that you aren’t open to dating women like her, DKWTD, let her vent – her frustrations are perfectly legitimate – while you wait for a response from a trans woman looking to buy what you’re selling. P.S. The trans escorts I know – women who freely chose their jobs – will be surprised to learn that they’re victims, at least according to your highly opinionated and woefully misinformed wife.

Today we’d like to introduce Trouble!

That’s this big boy’s name, but not how we’d describe him. Trouble (A412686) is a 9-year-old boy who was surrendered because his owners are no longer able to care for him. Trouble is calm and laid-back when playing, and very treat-motivated. He knows how to catch treats out of the air as well as “sit,” “paw,” “roll over” and so much more! He is a total teddy bear and a volunteer favorite at the shelter. He has been at our shelter for almost two months now and is ready to go home with a new family. Adopt Trouble today! Wednesday is your last day to celebrate MeowloweenHowloween at Orange County Animal Services! For the month of October, all dogs are $31 and all cats will be $13 to adopt.
