Florida teachers sue over pronoun restrictions, Moody demands FSU football snub investigation, Lake Underhill drug traffickers caught after 20 years and other news you may have missed. BY CH LO E GREEN B ERG , M CKEN N A SCH U ELE R , A N D T HE N E WS S E RV I C E OF FLOR I DA

Officials shut down Orange County restaurant they say was trafficking cocaine

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office announced the shuttering of PR House, a small bar and restaurant that doubled as a cocaine trafficking scheme. Punctuating a nearly 20-year-long investigation, officials arrested the restaurant’s owner and 17 others associated with the “criminal enterprise.” Orange County Sheriff John Mina said the restaurant was also the site of drug sales, shootings, illegal guns, several overdose deaths and a murder. Among those arrested are owner Rosa María López and Aníbal López, who officials said supplied drugs sold through the restaurant on Lake Underhill Road. Charges faced by the suspects include racketeering and armed cocaine trafficking, which, if convicted, carries a life sentence. Investigators estimate PR House was selling cocaine to up to 80 people every day. In total, officials seized more than nine kilos of cocaine and 13 firearms from the restaurant.

Abortion rights ballot measure tops 753K signatures

Teachers sue Florida over preferred pronoun restrictions in schools

Florida lawmakers advance bill to weaken child labor protections for older teens

A proposed constitutional amendment aimed at ensuring abortion rights has reached 753,306 valid petition signatures in support of getting it onto the 2024 ballot. That’s up from 687,700 a week earlier. The political committee Floridians Protecting Freedom, which is sponsoring the measure, will need to submit at least 891,523 valid signatures statewide and meet signature requirements in at least half of the state’s congressional districts by Feb. 1 to get on the November 2024 ballot. It also needs the Florida Supreme Court to sign off on the proposed ballot wording. Floridians Protecting Freedom announced the initiative in May after the Republican-controlled Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis approved a law that could prevent abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. Attorney General Ashley Moody, who describes herself as “pro-life,” has argued against the proposed constitutional amendment, saying its wording would “hoodwink” voters. The ballot summary of the proposal says, in part: “No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.”

investigative demand, is a way to gather information ahead of a possible lawsuit. The document said it is part of an investigation to determine if antitrust violations have occurred through “the nature of possible contracts, conspiracies in restraint of trade or monopolization of trade and commerce relating to anticompetitive effects of the College Football Playoff.” The FSU football team went undefeated and won the Atlantic Coast Conference championship this fall, but the playoff committee didn’t select the team to compete for the national championship. In a proposed budget released the week prior, Gov. Ron DeSantis included $1 million of public funds for any legal action related to FSU being left out of the playoff. When Moody came out with her announcement, some critics pounced on the performative move. “Wouldn’t it be nice if our statewide GOP leaders had this same level of passion demanding answers from property insurance companies or monopoly utility companies?” Orlando State Rep. Anna Eskamani wrote on X/Twitter.

Florida GOP widens registration gap over Democrats

The Republican Party of Florida had a nearly 700,000-voter registration edge over the Florida Democratic Party at the end of November, as the GOP continued widening a gap between the parties. Data posted on the state Division of Elections website showed that 5,158,753 Floridians were registered as Republicans, while 4,460,831 were registered as Democrats. Another 3,607,279 were registered without party affiliation, while 313,272 were registered with third parties. The Nov. 30 announcement of the GOP’s 697,922-voter advantage came after a 680,030-voter edge at the end of October. Democrats historically held a registration majority in the state, but Republicans overtook them in 2021 and have steadily expanded the lead. Republicans hold all statewide offices, a majority in Florida’s congressional delegation and supermajorities in the Florida House and Senate.

Three teachers have filed a federal lawsuit alleging a new state law restricting titles and pronouns at schools unconstitutionally discriminates against transgender and nonbinary educators. The lawsuit is the latest challenge to a series of measures championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature that have targeted LGBTQ+ Floridians. The case focuses on a part of a 2023 law that says a school employee “may not provide to a student his or her preferred personal title or pronouns if such preferred personal title or pronouns do not correspond to his or her sex.” The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are transgender teachers in Hillsborough and Lee counties and a nonbinary teacher who was fired by Florida Virtual School in October after refusing to drop the title “Mx.” and the pronouns “they/them.” Attorneys for plaintiffs say the law is discriminatory on the basis of sex, and further violates the employees’ First Amendment rights and civil rights laws.

Florida lawmakers moved forward on Wednesday with a bill that would weaken child labor protections for 16- and 17-year-olds, whom the bill sponsor described as “youth workers” and “not children.” Sponsored by Republican State Rep. Linda Chaney, HB 49 was advanced by the House Regulatory Reform & Economic Development subcommittee (its first of three committee stops) by a 10–5 vote along party lines, with Democrats opposed. The bill, fed to Chaney by a conservative think tank, would change Florida’s child labor law to gut certain rules for working minors. The bill would allow for those older teens to work more than 30 hours per week, would gut a requirement for mandatory 30-minute meal breaks every four hours, and would allow for them to work overnight shifts, even if they have school the next day. Supporters (like lobbyists for the restaurant industry) say it gives these older teens the “flexibility” and “freedom” to work more. Critics worry it could harm teens’ education and place them at risk for exploitation.

Florida’s Attorney General launches investigation after FSU playoff snub

In a step toward a potential lawsuit, Attorney General Ashley Moody demanded wide-ranging information from the College Football Playoff Selection Committee about Florida State University’s exclusion from the upcoming four-team playoff.

SIDEWALK TALK

City of Orlando quietly advances new anti-homeless ordinance touted as a public safety measure BY MCKENNA S CH UEL ER

fter committing $6 million to a renovation project for a nonprofit organization that provides direct services for the homeless community, Orlando city leaders on Monday also quietly advanced a proposed ordinance that could saddle more homeless people in downtown Orlando with jail time or a fine. The proposed ordinance — which is still subject to a public hearing and a second vote — would amend city code to expand the city’s definition of “disorderly conduct,”which currently refers to certain aggressive, confrontational or willfully obstructive behaviors, such as acting “in a violent or tumultuous manner toward another” or blocking traffic either on the street or sidewalk after being warned by a law enforcement officer to “disperse” (i.e., get lost). Under the new proposal, the definition of disorderly conduct — a misdemeanor charge,

subject to fine of up to $500 and/or up to 60 days jail time, if convicted — would be expanded to refer to: “Any person who, walks, stands, sits, lies, or places an object in such manner as to intentionally block passage by another person or to require another person to take evasive action to avoid physical contact, or who, after being ordered to move by law enforcement officers, remains in or on any public street or sidewalk in such a manner as to block or impair movement of vehicles or pedestrians.” In other words, if your body or your possessions block the path of anyone walking on a sidewalk, you can be charged with disorderly conduct and end up in jail or in debt. The ordinance, passed unanimously on its first reading, was advanced without a single comment by either Mayor Buddy Dyer or any

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● DEC. 20-26, 2023 ● orlandoweekly.com

city commissioner. City documents describe the ordinance as a public safety measure. The Orlando Police Department, which would be tasked with enforcing the amended disorderly conduct prohibition, told Orlando Weekly in a statement that they do not expect this ordinance will disproportionately affect the unsheltered population “as it is aimed at illegal activity.” “This ordinance will give our law enforcement officers a mechanism to address anyone who tries to block pedestrian movement on our sidewalks, regardless if it is for the purpose of solicitation of donations, distribution of materials, marketing, signature collection, expression of viewpoints, threatening to fight or any other purpose, anywhere in the City, and regardless of who commits the act,” the department’s media relations office shared over email. “OPD supports the City Council’s actions to help make our sidewalks safer.” The unanimous vote of approval from Orlando City Council occurred shortly after a discussion that lasted over an hour on the issue of the growing presence of homeless people in downtown Orlando and adjacent Parramore. That historic African American neighborhood just west of downtown has historically suffered from disinvestment, despite its close proximity to downtown’s luxury high-rises and serving as the home of sprawling stadiums for the city’s professional sports teams and other attractions. The discussion of homelessness in and on the outskirts of downtown Orlando, however, centered around the proposed renovation of the Christian Service Center, a decades-old nonprofit organization that serves as a “front door” for the unsheltered, providing meals, showers, laundry, as well as access to rent and utility assistance. The nonprofit operates largely from its headquarters in Parramore, across the street from Exploria Stadium, home to Orlando’s Major League Soccer team. “This is a historic day,” Dyer said, after the city commission approved funding to upgrade the Christian Service Center’s buildings, most of which haven’t seen significant upgrades or renovation since 1984. The renovation, expected to occur over the next 18 months according to the Orlando Sentinel, will allow the nonprofit to establish the region’s first comprehensive day services center for the city’s unsheltered population, adding indoor showers, mailboxes, laundry and other direct services. The renovation will be funded through the Community Redevelopment Agency, a city-run special tax district, and Accelerate Orlando, a $58 million pool of federal funds the city received through the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan Act, which city leaders earmarked last year to expand homeless services programs and fund affordable housing projects. The local tri-county region — spanning Central Florida’s Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties — has seen a 75% increase in unhoused residents since 2019, according to the region’s

most recent point-in-time count, illustrating a clear need for viable solutions. “We estimate on average about 200 to 225 unsheltered individuals in the city of Orlando on any given day,” said Lisa Portelli, senior advisor to the Orlando Mayor’s office on issues of housing and homelessness. Some residents and business owners in downtown Orlando, and in neighboring communities, have complained about the city’s growing homeless population, following a period of seemingly unprecedented rent hikes and a subsequent rise in eviction filings. Although rent growth in Central Florida has slowed, average rent is still up hundreds of dollars more per month today from just a few years ago. A number of partnered nonprofits, including the Mental Health Association of Central Florida and Health Care for the Homeless (which was also approved funds to support their endeavors on Monday), came out to support the renovation project for the Christian Service Center, which has helped over 1,500 adults and children through direct services in 2023. Eric Gray, executive director of the Christian Service Center, highlighted the city’s commitment to addressing housing and homelessness issues through projects such as motel conversions and launching or breaking ground on new “affordable housing” projects (which, granted, moonlight as tax breaks for developers). Since 2015, the city has also aimed to address homelessness issues through a Housing First strategy — an approach that recognizes that, without a stable place to live, it’s nearly impossible to make significant progress in other areas of life, from finding a stable job to mending strained relationships or recovering from a mental health or substance use issue. “The city of Orlando is actually taking quite a bit of effort on this particular issue across multiple different dimensions in ways that the other 26 municipalities in Central Florida simply are not,” Gray said on Monday. “Not yet,” he added.

The big ‘But’

The new disorderly conduct ordinance, on the other hand, flew completely under the radar, despite containing language that appears targeted toward people struggling with or on the verge of homelessness — an issue that appeared to be of great interest to those gathered at City Hall. Ahead of the meeting, Homeless Services Network CEO Martha Are — whose organization similarly supported the $6 million Christian Service Center renovation — told Spectrum News 13 she had some concerns about the proposed ordinance. “We definitely support safe neighborhoods and communities, and we understand that dynamic, but we also recognize that when you criminalize being homeless, that is not an ultimate solution,” said Are. Are, who was in attendance at City Hall on Monday, did not directly address the ordinance in her public comment focused on the

[ news + views ] renovation project, although there was a glint of an indirect reference as she emphasized a need to ensure the Christian Service Center’s neighbors in Parramore are meaningfully considered and consulted in the process of coming up with strategies to best address homelessness issues. “[We] support the idea that when services are already located in a neighborhood, that the neighborhood deserves to know that those services are being operated in a way that is efficient, effective and with best practices, so that we again, move people off the streets into housing in a way that minimizes criminalization while maximizing outcomes,” said Are. There were mixed feelings on the renovation from some. Citing the city’s goal to reduce homelessness, local pastor Derrick Williams called on city leaders to also come up with ways to help unsheltered individuals after hours, when the Christian Service Center closes and those without homes are left to fend for themselves on the streets. “The residents and stakeholders embrace the concept of reducing the presence of unsheltered in the streets of Orlando by 50% during the day,” said Pastor Williams, who participated in a series of community meetings organized by the city for residents and other “stakeholders” in the Parramore and West Lakes neighborhoods. “But [we] are concerned about what happens when the comprehensive day centers close at night,” he shared. Mayor Dyer, who was recently reelected for a sixth term, acknowledged that there was still more work to be done on this issue. The city has plans to develop a new “low barrier” shelter, for instance, which would be open 24 hours a day and accessible regardless of whether users meet the stringent requirements often imposed by homeless shelters. Requirements can include having a state identification card, Social Security card or birth certificate; leaving the shelter during the day, or maintaining sobriety, in order to get help. “The items that are related to homelessness today are not our entire solution,” said Dyer. “There’s going to be additional projects as part of Accelerate Orlando that come before our board in the next couple of months.” For Orlando’s homeless population, unfortunately, that could also include the newly proposed disorderly conduct ordinance, which conveniently received little attention Monday. Then again, Orlando has a decades-long history of controversial ordinances targeting the homeless population, from a ban on panhandling passed in 2000 — which was later deemed unconstitutional through a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision — to a ban on unpermitted food-sharing in local parks, enacted in 2006, that was obviously meant to target groups like Food Not Bombs, an activist group that regularly organizes food shares in downtown Orlando and which took the city to court over the issue in 2011. Although the panhandling ordinance itself isn’t exactly enforceable, a webpage on the

city’s website clarifies that the Orlando Police Department “continues to enforce aggressive solicitation and harassment ordinances, which has led to as many as 600-800 arrests per year.” “These arrests, however, are short-term answers to an issue that requires long-term solutions,” the page reads. Under city rules, all proposed ordinances must be voted on twice by city commissioners, during two separate meetings. Ordinances are also subject to a public hearing, which generally just ahead of the second vote. A city spokesperson confirmed to Orlando Weekly that the ordinance will be up for a second vote, following a chance for members of the public to weigh in on the proposal, at City Council’s next regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, Jan. 8, 2024.

Unlikely to get help from the state

Meanwhile, as large Florida cities like Orlando continue to grapple with an affordable housing shortage, there’s little hope the state government will step in to help. Failing to read the room, state lawmakers earlier this year approved an industry-backed, bipartisan law during the 2023 legislative session that prohibits cities and counties from placing limits on rent increases. This new law, backed by trade groups such as the Florida Apartment Association and Realtors Association, came less than a year after nearly 60% of Orange County residents voted in support of a rent control measure locally, which was ultimately blocked by a lawsuit filed by the two aforementioned industry groups. A separate law, largely pushed through by a Republican majority in the Florida House and Senate, also dissolved local tenant rights ordinances that cities and counties passed during the pandemic to help prevent eviction and keep people housed as rents skyrocketed. Orange County, for instance, now has a Tenant Bill of Rights law on the books (effective as of March) that it can no longer legally enforce. A handful of state Democrats, however, continue to persist. Despite their minority status in the state Legislature, the Dems’slate of proposals for the 2024 legislative session includes bills that would, for instance, limit rent increases to no more than 30% annually, expand eligibility for Citizens Property Insurance policies (a bill filed jointly with a Republican state representative) and require landlords to provide tenants with functioning AC (no, your landlord isn’t required to do this currently). During a live-streamed legislative session preview last month, local State Rep. Anna Eskamani also confirmed she plans to refile her massive housing bill, which calls for the development of a state Department of Housing and Tenant Rights that would be dedicated to addressing the state’s housing issues. That proposal, also filed last session, died in the Republican-dominated legislature without ever reaching a vote. mschueler@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com ● DEC. 20-26, 2023 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

12 Ways of Giving A dozen organizations doing essential work in Orlando worth your support BY IDA V. ES KAMAN I, G RAYSO N KEG LOVIC, G A BBY MACOG AY, MATTH EW MOYER AN D M CKEN N A SCH U EL ER

elcome to the fourth installment of “12 Ways of Giving” our annual list of local organizations that would benefit from your financial support or time this holiday season (or any time of the year, really). These are groups working hard in our local community, helping work toward a better and more just and humane Orlando. Did we miss some groups? We suspect so! But this list, compiled by a conscientious cadre of staffers and contributors, is by no means a comprehensive list. Include your personal favorites in your annual giving, while also considering the following handful.

CAIR FL

cairflorida.org

Islamophobia, like all prejudices, is deeply rooted in white supremacy. The Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a national organization with state-based chapters across the country including here in Florida. Their Florida team is focused on defending the civil rights of Muslims in Florida as well as advancing justice and equity for all. Dehumanization is a dangerous tactic, leveraged by authoritarian regimes to turn citizens against each other versus holding governments accountable, and to justify acts of mass violence against targeted communities. After more than 1,000 Israelis were murdered by

the terrorist group Hamas, and as tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza are murdered by the Israeli military, we are seeing deeply rooted hate manifest into targeted action against Muslims in Florida and across the country. CAIR Florida is tackling these threats head-on.

Central Florida Jobs with Justice cfjwj.org

This local nonprofit fights hard for workers’ rights in the Central Florida area. The cornerstone tenets of their mission are that workers deserve collective bargaining, job security and a dignified standard of living. The organization works in areas of collective action, leadership development, coalition-building and grassroots organizing. Current campaigns going for JWJ include Advancing Black Strategists Initiative, Caring Across Generations and Debt-Free Future. Jobs With Justice are looking to reconceptualize the way we think about business and employment to center the worker rather than the short-term profit.

Central Florida Trans Emergency Care Fund

secure.actblue.com/donate/cfletcf

Launched this year by the LGBT+ Center in Orlando and the Contigo Fund (along with

several other local orgs) in response to state legislation restricting gender-affirming care, The Central Florida Emergency Trans Care Fund gives financial and travel aid to trans folks to get the gender-affirming care that they are denied in Florida. (Take a moment to reread that sentence and realize how goddamn cruel the state of Florida became in 2023.) Fund administrators work with trans-affirming medical providers, as well as provide direct assistance to patients and families in need of support.

of the duly elected official this year. They also challenged the governor following his erasure of Black congressional districts, demanding an end to gerrymandering and fair districts in the state. In a moment where our basic freedoms are threatened by state leaders — from the freedom to teach Black history in our schools and build diverse and dynamic businesses to the freedom to protest and to vote — Equal Ground is there fighting for a Florida where we all have the freedom to be healthy, prosperous and safe.

Contigo Fund

Floridians Protecting Freedom

contigofund.org

Organized in the aftermath of 2016’s Pulse nightclub massacre, the Contigo Fund is a philanthropic body providing financial resources to LGBTQ+ people of color in Central Florida, particularly Latinx communities. The Contigo Fund gives monetary and other support to nonprofits, social justice efforts and grassroots groups engaged in direct action to support and uplift LGBTQ, Latinx and people of color locally. Just this year, the Contigo Fund helped launch the Central Florida Emergency Trans Care Fund, and made grants available including the All Black Lives Grants and the Movement and Power Building Grant, which supports the “intersections of economic, gender and racial justice.”

The Desire Foundation thedesirefoundationinc.org

Founded by Jennifer Desir Hilaire, the Desire Foundation is an anti-poverty initiative in Orlando that works directly with historically disenfranchised communities. The volunteer-led operation works to alleviate food insecurity, address job uncertainties, and fulfill basic daily necessities for members of the Parramore community, including those experiencing homelessness. This Thanksgiving, the team organized a clothes, shoes and toiletries drive, and led outreach to 15 different motels where precariously housed Central Floridians currently reside. The Foundation also organized food distribution, including fresh goods difficult to find in historic food deserts, because corporate groceries only set up shop where they see profit.

floridiansprotectingfreedom.com

Floridians Protecting Freedom is a statewide campaign that works to defend abortion access and support bodily autonomy. While some may believe the fight for abortion rights is an isolated issue for only those affected, government intrusion on reproductive rights is a fundamental issue of health care that impacts us all. FPF works to ensure that all Floridians have the right to control their own bodies without the interference of politicians. Donating to FPF helps the organization in their work to put abortion on the ballot statewide in time for the 2024 elections.

Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center holocaustedu.org

The Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Central Florida started as the Holocaust Project of Valencia Community College, spearheaded by local survivor Tess White. Since its 1981 beginning, the Center has become an organization that promotes activism and action for people in the Central Florida area. The organization’s “Strategies for Action” series brings awareness to problems like gun violence, antisemitism and racial discrimination. The Center uses “history and lessons of the Holocaust to build a just and caring community free of antisemitism and all forms of prejudice and bigotry.” [continued on page 13]

Equal Ground Education Fund, Inc. equal-ground.com

Equal Ground is defending the freedom to vote and advancing justice locally and across the state. The nonprofit has led the charge in organizing in support of State Attorney Monique Worrell following Gov. Ron DeSantis’ troubling removal

Hope Community Center hcc-offm.org

Founded in the 1970s, the Hope Community Center in Apopka serves to support and empower immigrants and the working poor. The nonprofit focuses on advocacy efforts — through community organizing around issues such as housing, workers’ rights and immigrant rights — as well as direct services for families, education and skills development through its youth and social justice groups. Donations to HCC help to support these efforts and services, such as food distribution, childcare, tutoring and citizenship clinics. “Through service and advocacy,” HCC states on its website, “we stand together with immigrants and others who are tenacious and courageous in the face of all systems of oppression.”

Peer Support Space peersupportspace.org

Navigating mental illness is difficult, especially when America’s public mental health system is largely broken. Peer Support Space is an organization that offers services to anyone 18 or over who is facing mental health challenges. The organization is peer-led, understanding that each unique community has its own needs that are best understood by somebody who has direct connections to said community. With a strong focus on diversity and accessibility, PSS seeks to support those who may have been overlooked by our country’s mental health system. Donating to PSS helps make all of their much-needed services a reality.

Stand With Abortion Now swanoforlando.org

Stand With Abortion Now, a grassroots abortion clinic escort group, was founded in the

summer of 2022 after the U.S. Supreme Court ended the federal constitutional right to abortion. Organized by volunteers in Orlando, the group stands guard outside a local abortion clinic south of downtown that is visited most days by anti-abortion protesters who harass patients walking into the clinic. SWAN volunteers help escort patients inside and back to their vehicles — and they do so in a confrontational, sometimes comical fashion. They’re often seen in pink safety vests, holding rainbow umbrellas (it’s Orlando, after all). Earlier this year, the group — which first gained notoriety on TikTok — raised nearly $200,000 to cover a fine issued by the state to our local abortion clinic, which was accused of violating a 24-hour waiting period law. They’re continuing to fundraise for three South Florida abortion clinics also facing fines.

Zebra Youth zebrayouth.org

It’s been a year rife with anti-LGBTQ+ legislation coming from Tallahassee and our current governor, and our queer community needs support that is frowned upon by the state Legislature. With the passage of so-called “Don’t Say Gay” laws, Orlando’s Zebra Youth has found that 59% of queer students feel unsafe in schools — a place where all children should feel secure. Zebra Youth is a network of organizations that provide support to youth in the LGBTQ+ community as they face discrimination and challenges like homelessness, bullying and abuse. The organization provides those in need with resources and programs “to provide each youth the tools necessary to become a healthy, productive and self-sufficient individual.” Zebra Youth accepts both volunteers and donations to help provide services like housing support, a youth drop-in center, mental health counseling and outreach for Orlando’s queer community. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

PULP FRICTION

Kyle’s new show at Orlando City Hall wrecks and reconstructs Americana, gender roles, and midcentury pop art BY RI CH AR D R EEP

rlando’s City Hall looms over its plaza like the radiator grill of a postwar Packard. Inside, the Terrace Gallery’s solo exhibition by the Orlando-based artist Kyle (mononymed, like Michelangelo or Cher) hits you with Packard-era imagery and icons. I first met Kyle early in his career, after he adopted a single-name moniker referencing comic book heroes. Since then, he has developed his fictional persona and exhibited far and wide, so the Terrace Gallery is a homecoming show for him. Much of Kyle’s time lately is spent wrecking and reconstructing midcentury pop art, comic book imagery, Americana model kits, and nostalgic

ideas about color, sex and gender roles. This show is mostly new work, evolving from earlier paintings and shadow boxes. Kyle depicts a world in a river of trouble, about to drown. We caught up with the artist while he was still hanging the show. “Yeah,” he reflected, considering the show’s title, bestowed by city of Orlando curator Pat Greene. “Ideas come faster than I can paint them. I use a lot of pulp and vintage material. So these are scenes in a personal narrative which I try to capture.” Kyle’s paintings revel in comic book panels à la Roy Lichtenstein, but unlike the pop icon’s crispness, Kyle goes for messiness: “I love how

these pre-digital printed colors bleed over the lines, sometimes blur, and have delicious areas of confusion or contradiction.” And that’s his departure point into a quest that begins, near the gallery’s entrance, with an ominous abandoned station wagon in the woods. Below it a woman utters a warning, confusing the viewer from the start. Something’s wrong in this gallery. Sex stereotypes in Kyle’s work are usually reversed: 1950s-era rocketship models with female astronauts? Women artists dancing in their studio, underneath hapless men milling about a toppled farm tower? One scene after another pokes at the classic ’50s white-male-breadwinner, white-girl-onpedestal, and reverses these roles. This reversal echoes through everything in this tight body of work. Kyle acknowledged it. “I like it when gravity isn’t working,” he commented, as we looked at a series of classic comic-book men free-floating inside thickly painted earth tones. Troubling abstract whirls of color and form invade photorealistic paintings. Trees are upside down. Battleships are turned on end. “What if a Transformer robot,” he mused,“could turn itself into … a vacuum cleaner?” As one progresses through the gallery, blue- and yellow-toned midcentury women get stronger and achieve agency: They throw men down, kiss them, slap them and express pain and fear. In the meantime, Kyle defocuses the white men. “I blur them or just white them out. They’re ciphers. In these scenes, the women are in charge.” The show has a narrative climax with several very large paintings that Kyle completed recently. These are epic disasters: black-and-white tornado-wrecked houses with red “SCHREKK!” and yellow “KA-SHOOM” action words overlaying uprooted grassy green tufts and scattered broken lumber. In a kit-bashing frenzy, Kyle’s sculpture of a city block is topped by a hospital. The scenes are filled with layers of men falling over cliffs or trapped inside toppled trucks. Women in these paintings are called to the scene wearing dress

KYLE: A ONE ACT PLAY, AS IT REALLY HAPPENED Through Jan. 28, 2024 Orlando City Hall 400 S. Orange Ave. 407-246-4279 orlando.gov free

suits, and one white woman clad in athletic gear raises a fist over a ripped-apart house. Nothing is serene, settled or domesticated in Kyle’s work. “Life on the Farm” is a small shadow box with bronze, silver and pink sows, all nursing piglets. Below these are black-and-white movie stills: first one of a courtroom, then one of a fight in a ballroom, and finally one of a war hospital. This last scene, cribbed from Gone With the Wind, keys into the anxiety of unsettlement and displacement. Kyle’s commentary on the mythology of white male displacement is an honest connection to the feelings of vulnerability and helplessness of the mythical postwar hero-white-male, as society becomes more equal and diverse, and yet his deliberate use of miniatures and comic books places this anxiety into the rather disarming context of pop fiction and nostalgia. All of the artist’s choices and techniques are concentrated around a central main theme, like an operatic tragedy. Unlike plays or the opera, Kyle’s paintings are not storylines of rising action. “These are deliberately fragmented,” he cautioned in an earlier conversation. “They are as if multiple stories have exploded.” Viewers may see the artist as a war correspondent reporting from the front as reactionary forces collapse under their own weight. As we enter the bright future of diversity, equity and inclusion, we’re still picking our way through the rubble. arts@orlandoweekly.com

EPCOT’s new Luminous show goes for oldfashioned visceral impact and sticks the landing, earning the highest theme-park show compliment: It’s worth dealing with the post-closing traffic jam

The past few years have been quite

the emotional roller coaster for those in the theme park industry, so perhaps it’s appropriate that Orlando’s post-pandemic era has been bookended by literal roller coasters. First, Islands of Adventure’s VelociCoaster opened in 2021 and helped lead the town’s tourism back to pre-COVID attendance levels. Then, the Magic Kingdom’s Tron finally launched this past spring, just in time for 2023’s surprising summer season slump. In the months since then, the House of Mouse has mostly been mum about near-term major additions to its resort, instead teasing blue-sky future proposals; meanwhile, Mickey’s competition is working to complete a new kids

land in the new year and a whole theme park by 2025. But as a holiday gift to fans, Disney just dropped into place some of the final elements in EPCOT’s seemingly endless makeover and ended the year by breaking the silent night with a breathtaking big bang. I’ve been a frequent visitor to Walt Disney World’s second-oldest theme park in the past few weeks, thanks to the annual Festival of the Holidays and new Journey of Water walkthrough. But as of Dec. 5, walking into the heart of EPCOT is an entirely different experience, because for the first time in years there aren’t endless construction walls blocking off the plaza behind Spaceship Earth. Instead, guests are finally free to stroll through World Celebration Gardens — a serene series of pedestrian pathways through the center of the former Future World — and join the queue at Dreamers Point for a photo-op with Walt’s man-spreading statue, which sits staring off toward the international bar crawl born from his utopian dying dream. World Celebration Gardens is impeccably landscaped, featuring a mix of open green spaces and ample shaded seating (with accessible charging outlets!) that’s especially welcome in a park where you often can barely find a trashcan

to lean on. Everything looks a bit generic by daylight, but the area truly comes to life after sunset, as color-changing lights embedded in the pavement and decorative pylons pulse in sync with the giant golf ball’s “Beacons of Light” shows. It’s unfortunate that the iconic Fountain of Nations was displaced for a planter, and the new festival center and character meet-and-greet still isn’t complete yet. But the understated aesthetic is already a huge upgrade over the tacky tarps of the early aughts, and I look forward to enjoying future evenings lounging around here while waiting for EPCOT’s other anticipated year-end addition. For decades, long-running nighttime spectaculars like Wishes at the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT’s Illuminations have served as mustsee anchors for millions of returning visitors, but lately Disney has been reinventing these shows more regularly — with uneven results. The hyped 50th-anniversary fireworks show Disney Enchantment was shelved days after the celebration ended (although it will be trotted out in April at after-hours events), and both 2019’s EPCOT Forever and 2021’s Harmonious were coolly received by devotees of the retired Reflections of Earth.

At long last, Luminous: The Symphony of Us, which also officially debuted on Dec. 5, provides a nightcap that EPCOT fans old and new should be able to embrace. For starters, the new show’s flotilla of fountains and fireworks barges doesn’t obstruct the view across World Showcase lagoon all day (unlike the massive metal donut of Harmonious) and there are no video screens that you need to stand in a certain sweet spot to see. Second, the score by Pinar Toprak isn’t overreliant on Disney’s greatest hits, but incorporates fresh takes on some beloved B-sides, along with stirring original tunes sung by vocalists including Sheléa and Katharine McPhee. Most importantly, although Luminous’ narrative metaphor equating human life to a symphony is expressed with suspiciously similar structural beats to every other Disney spectacle, at least this one manages better than most to hit home in the heart and gut. The former it achieves most effectively during an elegiac duet interweaving Toy Story 2’s “When She Loved Me” with Coco’s “Remember Me,” which will henceforth be known as the most tear-jerking scene in a theme park show since Alien Encounter disintegrated Skippy. The latter is taken care of by copious quantities of percussive pyrotechnics. While other theme park shows are using projection-mapping technology to turn down the volume, Luminous goes for old-fashioned visceral impact, decibels (and sleeping ducks) be damned. If you’re standing along the shoreline, beware of blowback from the launches of low-flying rockets! Coming on the heels of EPCOT Forever’s half-baked fan-service and the ambitious but unsatisfying Harmonious, EPCOT’s latest lagoon show easily leaps over the low bar that has been set for it, and sticks the landing with an earth-shaking boom. Luminous may never supplant the Illuminations of our childhood memories; however, it is EPCOT’s first successor to that storied production that should stick around long enough for someone else to become equally nostalgic about it. Perhaps the highest compliment I can pay is that, unlike the last couple of shows, Luminous is worth fighting through the park’s post-closing traffic jam for. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

[ food + drink] SUPERICA 415 S. Orlando Ave. Winter Park, FL 32789 407-919-6671 superica.com/winter-park $$$$

A trio of tasty tacos at a temple of Tex-Mex cuisine | Photo by Rob Bartlett

EAT THE SUPER RICH

Superica, the Tex-Mex cantina from five-time James Beard Award nominee Ford Fry, delivers a true taste of the Southwest BY FA IYAZ KARA

ord Fry may have found success in Atlanta, but his heart clearly lies in the great state of Texas. After all, the five-time James Beard Award nominee was born in Houston, and Superica — his paean to Tex-Mex dining inspired by the “low-key cantinas” of Austin and West Texas — is his most successful brand. But the sole Florida outpost of Superica is anything but low-key. There are cattle horns, blingy light fixtures and glam Italian red-leather stools at the bar. There’s taxidermy — a fox and a falcon and an enormous deer noggin. You may even see, as I did, a concert by blues legend Albert Collins being projected on the restaurant’s back wall of dentil-molded white brick. When I asked a server what Superica means, “super rich” was the response, and looking around the room, it made sense. The, uhh, wealth of elements may seem divergent, but the soaring two-story space pops with the colors and vibrant textures of the Southwest. And like the Texas blues man’s guitar licks, the fare at Superica is just as tasty. Do as Ford Fry would and start with a queso fundido. The rajas y hongos ($11) bubbles a hot

goop of broiled chihuahua and Monterey jack cheese with roasted poblanos and mushrooms. The idea is to take one of the house-made flour tortillas — or at least half of one — put it into the queso, roll it up, dip it into the racy salsa cremosa, then stuff it into your mouth. Needless to say, it’s best for sharing with a group, as are the fajitas al carbon served in half-pound and one-pound portions. We customized ours to get four ounces of brined and smoked chicken along with four ounces of mesquite-grilled skirt steak ($35). We also added some jalapeño-cheddar sausage ($7) ’cuz, you know, Texas. Making those quality grilled meats all the greater were the fat slivers of charred onions beneath, not to mention the sides, among them charro beans and Mexican butter, a frothy emulsion made with white wine and garlic. Now, dipping meat into butter is one of life’s great pleasures, but jiggling a thicc, fatty, 36-hour-smoked hunk of bone-in short rib ($45) coated in a charred chipotle-molasses crust into that Mexican butter is the acme of food play.

Eating the Texas-sized behemoth takes a team effort, but, trust me, there’ll be plenty left over to pack up and take home. Even as lunchtime tacos the next day, this shortie was bomb AF. Don’t forget to ask for some flour tortillas to take home. But if you’re dining by yourself, like I’ve done on three separate occasions at Superica’s bar, best to munch on tortilla chip after gloriously salted tortilla chip as a prelude to comparatively lighter fare. Tip: Squeeze a little of their “cowboy gringo” hot sauce into the fire-roasted tomato salsa to make the near-perfect tortilla chip dip. I went through two bowls of the freshly fried crisps before digging into a three-taco dinner ($18) with rice and twice-fried frijoles. The two hard tacos filled with spiced ground beef, plus a soft rolled chicken tinga taco, was everything I craved during this particular lunch. Even better were the double-tortilla street-style tacos — barbacoa with smoky pasilla Oaxaca chilies ($5), shrimp with scampi butter ($5.33) and catfish with Mexican crema ($4.67). And then there are the large, rolled tacos al carbon, of which the crispy pork belly with guava glaze ($5) is arguably the finest, and most luscious, taco Superica serves. I wasn’t as effusive about the smoked chicken ($5) — too dry — and the J.R. Ewing price of the wood-grilled steak ($8.33) put it in the “once-in-a-while-treat-yourself” category, even with their enchilada-like size. Speaking of, a pair of chicken verde enchiladas ($19), preceded by bowl of tortilla soup with the ruddiest chicken/veg broth, was Tex-Mex nirvana. That day, I ran into a well-respected taqueria owner and couldn’t help myself. “What do you think? Decent Tex-Mex, right?” While signing the credit card receipt, the owner looked up and nodded. “Better than decent, I’d say.” It’s true. Superica is way better than decent. Hell, I’d come here for the plate of perfectly crisp, and not overly caramelized, fried plantains ($7) alone. We even improvised by rolling them into tortillas and, oooh, be still my occluded heart. But credit goes to Ford Fry. He’s effectively spread the true gospel of Tex-Mex throughout the Southeast with 11 Superica locations in Georgia, North Carolina and, now, Florida. Who knows where it will pop up next, but if it means bringing more people to the cantina’s high-caliber cuisine of the Southwest, well, Superica, you’re free to move about the country.

WELCOME TO MY CHRISTMAS SONG Chase Padgett’s Christmas spirit shines bright onstage BY GABBY MACO GAY

hase Padgett’s love of music has stuck with him throughout his entire life. Besides the guitar he was gifted in seventh grade or the improv classes he took at SAK Comedy Lab, the joy of giving on Christmas has also provided Padgett with some of his most formative experiences, now being shared with audiences in his newest one-man show, 6 String Christmas. Although the holiday season is dear to many, it holds the utmost significant importance in Padgett’s life and career. “Christmas presents in particular really shaped the entire arc of my life,” Padgett told Orlando Weekly in a recent interview.“If it wasn’t

for Christmas, I’d probably be an engineer.” The Central Florida musician, actor and comedian has made a name for himself touring his witty, one-man musical performances across the country, weaving character work, improvisation and storytelling through skits and songs. This holiday season, he plans on sharing his own tales of how Christmas has shaped him as a person and a performer. “It really came down to the story I want to tell about my relationship to Christmas in the songs that really bullet-point all of the turning points in those relationships,” Padgett said. Padgett said that he challenges himself to make each of his shows unique, bringing his

own personal spin to classic Christmas chestnuts like “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” or “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” While solo shows come with their own hurdles, Padgett said it’s rewarding when he sees audiences reciprocating his positive energy. Aside from his solo work, Padgett has also recently performed on the Disney Cruise Line and can be seen as a semi-finalist on Fox’s Alter Ego, a singing competition show. “Disney in particular is like a five-star resort on the ocean. And everyone that you’re working with is a top-notch professional in their field,” Padgett said. “You’ve really got to bring your A-game in that environment.” Padgett also shared that his experience performing around Orlando has helped shape his style as an artist, noting the creative energy of the city. “The thing that sets Orlando apart, in terms of a performing environment, is the baseline level of expectation,” Padgett said. “It’s really, really special. It punches way above its weight.” His work here in Central Florida has also given Padgett some of his most memorable experiences as a performer, including none other than our favorite Christmas grouch: the Grinch. “On New Year’s Day, 15 years ago at least, I was the Grinch. The opening Grinch. I was angry, I had been working doubles all week, but then this little girl came up to me,” Padgett said. “She gave me a little plush doll. She wanted to give the Grinch a Christmas present. It was the sweetest, most authentic, most warm-hearted gesture that only a kid could have.” When recounting this experience, Padgett said he couldn’t help but get teary-eyed. It was a great reminder of the joy art can bring others. “That moment made me realize that no matter how frustrated or exhausted you might be, the people who are coming to see you … it might be the highlight of their whole day or trip. You’ve still got to bring that joy for them,” Padgett remembered fondly. “And when you do, it gets reflected back at you and you realize, ‘Yeah, this is a privilege.’” From his first time picking up a guitar to his work as the infamous Grinch to his one-man holiday show, Chase Padgett is a good example of the cheer the Christmas season can bring. His passion for not only music, but the holiday that has helped shape his livelihood, is truly something that can make your heart grow, ahem, three sizes too big. music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com ● DEC. 20-26, 2023 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

While electronic goth act Bestial Mouths is West Coast-based, both frontperson Lynette Cerezo and new remix album In Tongues are Orlando products through and through. Cerezo grew up a local kid and had surely already discovered here some of the formative seeds that’ve blossomed into the striking scene figure she is now. At least that’s my impression from seeing her in the halls throughout high school at Dr. Phillips. As for Bestial Mouths’ new remix album, the 11-track In Tongues is a project rooted here and is steeped deep in Orlando terroir. In addition to being issued by eminent local label Popnihil, label boss [and OW editor] Matthew Moyer personally curated the cabinet of remixers involved in this collection.

Pop Punk Christmas features Central Florida-based tribute bands Blink 180-Deux and Sad Boi Singalong at Will’s Pub on Thursday. Attendees can sing their hearts out along to songs by old faves Blink-182, Fall Out Boy and presumably plenty more pop-punk favorites. Dare we expect pop-punk-ified versions of holiday chestnuts like “Last Christmas”? 8 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, $10. — Chloe Greenberg

Palestine Relief Show

A bunch of young, loud and motivated Orlando bands come together at Stardust Video on Thursday to raise

money for a good cause. It’s hard not to feel utterly hopeless and paralyzed watching events play out in Gaza, but these musicians are attempting to find some way toward concrete action. To that end, Offtrack, Wuhhappen, Eyelash, Omni, Memory Well and MX are all playing to raise funds for the Palestinian Red Crescent society — it’s an internationally recognized humanitarian and medical-aid organization, so put your pens down, please. It’s a donation-based show, but your donation makes you eligible for a raffle with prizes from Pop Parlor and other spots. “Show will be loud,” warns the flyer — we’ve seen Eyelash, and they’re definitely on the early My Bloody Valentine tinnitus tip, so grab earplugs on your way out the door. 7 p.m., Stardust Video and Coffee, 1842 E. Winter Park Road, facebook. com/stardustie, donations. — Matthew Moyer FRIDAY, DEC. 22

The Smiths (Robert)

Pithy name aside — see, it works because Cure frontman Robert Smith has hated Morrissey for seemingly decades now — this is a great opportunity to right some wrongs. Did you, in fact, miss the Cure’s concert in Tampa earlier this year? We sure did! [Don’t ask why, it’s gross!] So maybe a cover band in full birds’-nest-hair cosplay could be a good consolation prize. How could it not? The Cure’s discography is so gloriously anthemriddled that it would be hard for even a middling band to fuck up when tackling that melancholic songbook. Pregame with Disintegration from 1989 and, hell, 1981’s Faith just to be contrarian. We’re hoping to hear “Pictures of You,” “Charlotte Sometimes” and “Shake Dog Shake.” Let’s get sad. 8 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, $10. — MM

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree will have a whole new meaning Friday, when TSO returns to Orlando with their “Ghosts of Christmas Eve” holiday shred-fest at the Amway Center. The symphonic rock group, sometimes over 30 members strong, has been playing this eclectic holiday tale for several decades and have become a bit of a Christmas institution. TSO was formed in 1996 by

WEEK Paul O’Neil, who has produced for legendary groups like Aerosmith and AC/DC. They’ve performed around the world and their holiday show has become a must-see family event. “We try to give the audience something to remember,” O’Neill told Orlando Weekly a few years back. “We try to give them a reason to come back every year.” 2:30 & 7:30 p.m., Amway Center, 400 W. Church St., amwaycenter.com, $49-$109. — Grayson Keglovic
