Immediate confusion over Orlando’s new law that bans blocking sidewalks; one Florida Republican proposes a total ban on abortion in the state; a Daytona Beach Wells Fargo is the first to unionize in the state, and other news you may have missed last week. BY MCKENNA S C H U EL ER AN D T H E N EWS S E RV I C E OF FLOR I DA

Orlando makes it illegal to intentionally block sidewalks

Orlando City Council voted last Monday to approve a new citywide ordinance that makes it illegal for people to block sidewalks. Violating the ordinance (that is, refusing to get lost if a cop tells you to move) could lead to a fine of up to $500 and up to 60 days in jail. Critics worry it will target homeless people, and point out that there’s already a city law that prohibits sleeping on sidewalks or public benches downtown. The city has also tried to ban panhandling (currently unenforceable due to a U.S. Supreme Court decision declaring that unconstitutional). In the public council meeting, Mayor Dyer and most city commissioners bizarrely tried to pretend the ordinance wasn’t about homeless people at all. A lawyer for the Orlando Police Department said it would probably affect rowdy weekend bar-goers the most. Community activists and concerned citizens spoke up during the meeting to share their concerns — namely, that this law will criminalize being homeless and fails to address the root causes of homelessness in Orlando. Members of the public accused the city of pushing through this ordinance to appease “aesthetic sensibilities.” Only city commissioner Bakari Burns voted against it, agreeing with critics that the language was too vague. A homeless man arrested for sitting on a downtown sidewalk just hours after the Council approved the ordinance was widely reported to have been charged with violating the new law — including by the OPD spokesperson — but later was said to have been charged under the previous sitting/lying ordinance.

What’s moving through the Florida Legislature

OnePulse spent $680,000 of state taxpayer funds on salaries

At least one Republican lawmaker in Florida wants a total abortion ban

Currently, abortion is legal up to 15 weeks of pregnancy (a six-week limit was passed but is on hold, pending the outcome of a lawsuit). Florida House Speaker Paul Renner, a Republican, said he wasn’t interested in pursuing a full abortion ban at this time. Since he’s got a lot of power/ influence in his House Speaker position, this could prevent the full abortion ban proposal (HB 1519) from really going anywhere, but it’s worth keeping on your radar. In the meantime, a coalition of groups in support of abortion rights are working to get a constitutional amendment on the Nov. 2024 ballot that would guarantee the right to abortion up to about 24 weeks of pregnancy (i.e., where Florida was just a few years ago). The ballot measure would need more than 60% of Florida voters’ support to pass.

Wells Fargo workers at a Daytona Beach branch location vote to unionize

A small group of workers at a Wells Fargo branch in Daytona Beach voted to unionize last week, becoming just the second branch in the country (and the first in Florida) to do so. In a 4-1 vote, the banking workers opted to join Wells Fargo Workers United, a union affiliated with the Committee for Better Banks coalition and the Communications Workers of America. One of the workers told Orlando Weekly last month that they were unionizing in order to fight for more equitable pay, better staffing in order to better serve customers, and for better healthcare and retirement benefits. Two other Wells Fargo branches in California and Delaware will vote on whether to join the union next month.

Here’s a rundown on just a few notable bills that gained traction in the Florida legislature over the past week (note: This does not mean these bills have passed; they’re just getting closer to it): A bill (SB 258) that would set non-criminal fines of up to $158 for using left lanes on highways unless you’re attempting to pass other motorists advanced in a 5-0 committee vote. A bill (HB 1) that would prevent minors under 16 from making new social media accounts (effective July 1, if passed) advanced by a 13-1 committee vote. A bill (HB 601) that would prevent cities and counties from developing or maintaining citizen-led oversight panels for law enforcement agencies (such as Orlando’s Citizens Police Review Board) advanced through a 14-3 committee vote. A bill (HB 49) that would weaken child labor protections for 16- and 17-year-olds in the workforce advanced in a 12-5 vote, despite public opposition. A bill (HB 549) that would enhance criminal penalties for petty theft at the behest of retail giants advanced in a 15-3 vote. A bill (HB 231) perpetuating the cop-manufactured myth that simply touching fentanyl is a danger to cops’ lives (it’s not; you can’t OD that way) advanced in a 14-3 vote. A bill that would erase local living wage ordinances set by local governments (including Orlando) and erase rules enacted by some local governments to require government contractors to pay their workers a living wage was advanced in a 9-4 committee vote, after the committee chair cut off public comment. OnePulse, a nonprofit formed after the Pulse nightclub shooting, received over $1 million from the state over the years to construct a Pulse museum that was never built. OnePulse decided to give up on it late last year, just ahead of deciding to dissolve itself entirely at the end of 2023, after facing a series of controversies. The Florida Secretary of State announced earlier this month that OnePulse had repaid $391,321 of state funds, wasted on a museum project that never came to be, from a $500,000 grant the state had awarded to OnePulse in 2019. A year later, however, OnePulse also got a $680,000 grant for the project — and new information obtained last week shows the entirety of that was spent on OnePulse employee salaries. Because the funds tied to that grant weren’t restrictive, however, that spending decision isn’t a breach of contract and the state won’t be auditing OnePulse over it. A Miami-Dade Republican in the Florida House filed a bill for consideration this year that would ban virtually all abortions in Florida, if approved by the Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis.

[ news + views ] During the 2022-2023 fiscal year, the agency received 257 child labor complaints, a spokesperson confirmed. Only five of those resulting in enforcement action (which, under state law, is a fine of up to $2,500 per offense). During the 2019-2020 fiscal year, the agency received 220 complaints, of which 30 resulted in enforcement action. A spokesperson for the agency explained that employers found to have broken the law in some fashion can sometimes be brought into compliance through “immediate corrective action.” “DBPR strives to bring all licensees into compliance when possible. Although there are offenses where enforcement actions must be imposed by the DBPR Child Labor Program, education of both employers and minors on compliance is a top priority,” the spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Orlando Weekly. “When violations are found, training specialists are available to discuss immediate corrective actions and educate employers on child labor laws through management trainings.” Still, investigative reporting by the New York Times has found that many children, particularly migrant children, are falling through the cracks in both state and federal enforcement, regardless of the laws that are in place to protect them. Under-the-table jobs in roofing and construction and are some of the most common and riskiest jobs in which these unaccompanied minors are found illegally employed, the Times reported. David Weil, a former head of the federal U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division, told Orlando Weekly that in Florida, like the rest of the U.S. South, the federal government is essentially “the only act in town” to protect children in the workforce. This is a problem, he said, because the federal government’s enforcement arm is already stretched thin. The federal Wage and Hour Division, an agency within the Department of Labor that enforces child labor regulations, has been flat-funded by Congress for years and is carrying on with “historically low staffing levels,” according to a recent agency blog post. When Weil led the division, during the Obama administration, there were about 1,100 wage and hour investigators in 52 offices around the country, he said. Today, there are about 800 federal investigators in the Wage and Hour Division, with 47 of them based in Florida. But child labor isn’t their sole focus. The federal investigators are also tasked with enforcing other worker protections under federal law, such as minimum wage and overtime requirements, workers’ rights under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act, and H-2 visa programs. “It’s kind of this illusion that if we have the laws on the books, people are going to follow them,” said Weil. But without officials to meaningfully enforce the law, there’s no real deterrent for employers. “People just don’t worry about having an investigator showing up because there are so few of them to go around.”

IMPOSSIBLE ODDS

Just seven state employees are employed to enforce child labor law in Florida, meant to protect the tens of thousands of teenagers in the workforce from exploitation. Meanwhile, state Republicans seek to erode those protections even further. BY MCKENNA S CH UEL ER

s Florida Republicans look to relax child labor regulations at the behest of the construction and tourism industries, critics argue that the state’s capacity to enforce the law is lacking as it is, and that the state should consider ways to strengthen protections for minors in the workplace, not undermine them. One bill proposed for the 2024 legislative session (HB 49) would gut restrictions on the number of hours 16- and 17-year-olds can work, allowing employers to schedule them for fulltime hours during the school year. This would give employers, who currently can’t schedule minors more than 30 hours per week, the green light to work older teens later hours. It would also cut work breaks for those older teens that are currently required for all minors under law, and allow for 16-year-olds to drop out of school, or switch to home-schooling, in order to work during school hours.

Another proposal (SB 460) would allow 16and 17-year-olds to work jobs currently deemed too hazardous for minors in roofing and construction — an industry that accounts for the highest number of workplace fatalities in the state and the largest share of unlicensed activity complaints. The bill outlines certain safety precautions — such as requiring minors to work under the supervision of an adult and to first obtain OSHA certification — but federal data shows there’s already a dearth of supervisors available on these worksites anyway The new proposals, while not unique to Florida, come at an awkward time to say the least, and demonstrate that Republicans’favored mantra of “protect the children” only really goes so far. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the number of U.S. minors employed in violation of child labor law has spiked 88% since 2019, in

part attributed to factors such as a tight labor market and an influx of unaccompanied minors coming into the U.S. seeking work to help support their families. Enforcement and policy experts told Orlando Weekly that the capacity for enforcing child labor protections in Florida — through workplace inspections, investigations and employer training — is already failing to keep kids safe, and that loosening the law will put more vulnerable children at risk. According to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, the agency tasked with enforcing Florida’s child labor law, there are just seven agency employees in the state who are dedicated to child labor enforcement. Just seven people, to protect the tens of thousands of teenagers in Florida’s workforce from exploitation. orlandoweekly.com

It’s worse in states in the South, he said, which have very few, if any, state investigators to help lighten the federal government’s load. A spokesperson from the federal WHD told Orlando Weekly that child labor enforcement “is among our highest priorities” and that every wage and hour case they conduct in Florida — from alleged minimum wage violations to unpaid overtime — includes an investigation of potential child labor violations. In 2023, the federal government fined Florida businesses over $100,000 for breaking child labor law, with about half of that levied onto an Orlando-area roofing contractor that illegally employed a 15-year-old to do roofing work. A federal probe into the contractor began after the teen fell approximately 20 feet from a two-story home in February 2022 while on the job, suffering severe head and spinal injuries. The injured boy was left hospitalized for days, according to federal investigators. A Tampa-area Tropical Smoothie Cafe, a trampoline park in Jacksonville, and several skating rinks in the Tampa Bay region were also assessed thousands of dollars in civil penalties last year. But there are limits on the kinds of penalties businesses can face for breaking the law. Unlike cases of minimum wage and overtime violations, damages are not awarded to victims of child labor violations under federal law. Compared to Florida’s maximum penalty of $2,500 per offense, employers found in violation of federal law can be fined up to $15,138 per child — a penalty that some federal lawmakers are trying to increase and strengthen to more effectively deter noncompliance. There is also no right to private action for violations under state or federal law, meaning child victims or their parents can’t sue employers for child labor violations on their own; the only way to enforce child labor law is through the government.

‘The current regulations are overly restrictive’

The bills in Florida that aim to loosen child labor law are both sponsored by Republicans, although there is bipartisan support for strengthening child labor protections on a federal level. Florida Sen. Corey Simon of Tallahassee, a first-term politician and former football player, is sponsoring SB 460, the bill that would allow employers to put older teens to work on roofs above six feet (although some illegally do it already). State Rep. Linda Chaney of St. Pete Beach is sponsoring HB 49, the bill that would scrap restrictions on the number of hours older teens can work. Under current law, children age 14 and older are legally permitted to work in a wide range of industries. There are restrictions on the number of hours children can work, mandated 30-minute breaks for minors every four hours, and a 10

prohibition on jobs determined to threaten the health and safety of children. The law, however, does contain exceptions. For instance, the law doesn’t apply to minors in the entertainment industry, minors employed by their parents, minors who are married, minors who have graduated high school, minors employed in domestic jobs like babysitting, or student learner programs. Minors in Florida can also seek waivers excusing them from child labor protections through the DBPR or the Florida Department of Education. According to the DBPR, over 5,000 waivers were issued to minors during the last fiscal year alone. But lobbyists for politically well-connected industry groups like the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association say current restrictions on child labor are too burdensome for the businesses they represent and deter employers from hiring minors. “The current regulations are overly restrictive and can be challenging to manage,” said FRLA lobbyist Samantha Padgett, speaking on behalf of more than 10,000 hotel and restaurant owners at a committee hearing for HB 49 in December. “Additional staffing is desperately needed.” The Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association, a state affiliate of the National Restaurant Association, lobbies for the interests of companies like Disney, Universal, the RitzCarlton, Outback Steakhouse and Olive Garden — employers in low-wage, largely non-union industries that employ a large share of teens. These are also industries where labor law violations, ranging from child labor to minimum wage and overtime violations, are already prevalent. And apparently, the child labor rollback

proposal from Chaney is popular. “When we asked our members for their feedback, normally I get a trickle of comments,” Padgett told the House Regulatory and Economic Development subcommittee. “This [received] a flood of positive support from our hoteliers and our restaurateurs.” Florida Democrats, who wield little power in the state’s Republican-controlled legislature, have tried to push back. “Children and families should not be exploited by restaurants needing more labor,”said Rep. Angie Nixon, a community organizer and mom to a 16-year-old. “We’re sitting here talking about making children adults but they can’t even read Toni Morrison in school.” Sen. Simon’s bill, SB 460, has similarly garnered enthusiastic support from trade groups like the Associated Builders and Contractors, which literally wrote Simon’s bill, according to public records, in collaboration with the Florida Home Builders Association. “If you look at who is supporting these efforts to try to weaken child labor laws across the country, it’s the same companies who are often leaders in wage theft problems,” said Weil, the former Wage and Hour Division administrator. “So what are they doing? They’re trying to find the least-cost way of expanding their labor supply.” T h e Fo u n d a t i o n fo r G ov e r n m e n t Accountability, a conservative think tank based in Naples, similarly fed Chaney her bill through a lobbyist. The group has been a driving force behind child labor rollbacks in states like Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa and now Florida, the Washington Post reported last year. The FGA, funded by ultra-conservatives and billionaires, has also lobbied for policies that

would undermine the social safety net for low-income families. By, for instance, making it harder for them to access food stamps or qualify for health insurance through Medicaid. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who proudly signed into law a bill to “protect” children from drag last year, has a friendly relationship with the FGA and has even appointed its CEO to his special Government Efficiency Task Force. Florida is at least the 16th state so far to try and roll back child labor protections in the last two years. Of bills introduced in state legislatures, nine have been signed into law, according to the Economic Policy Institute, which has been tracking the influx of child labor-related bills. In Arkansas last year, for instance, Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed into law the Youth Hiring Act: The bill effectively repealed a law requiring employers to verify a minor’s age with the state, acquire a work permit for minors, and get parental consent for 14- and 15-year-olds before putting them to work. A law in Iowa, signed by Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds last year, extends allowed work hours for teens and lifted hazardous occupation restrictions for minors as young as 14 — allowing them to work in industrial laundry services, freezers and meat coolers. Rep. Chaney, sponsor of Florida’s HB 49, disputed the characterization of her legislation as a child labor bill. “This bill is not about children,” she said, speaking to fellow lawmakers last month. “These are youth workers that are driving automobiles. These are not children.”

Protect the children, unless they provide profit

Child welfare and labor advocates, however, say the dangers are clear. Young workers are more likely to suffer injuries on the job, and they’re less likely to speak up if their boss is stealing their tips or failing to pay them all that they’re owed. Florida doesn’t have a strong mechanism for recovering unpaid wages and tips for workers as it is, for adults or for working teenagers. Working teenagers more than 20 hours a week can also affect their education and increase their risk for other behavioral problems. Students might have less time to study, may be sleeping less if they’re put on a late shift, and could become more likely to skip school or drop out entirely if they’re working too many hours. “If students are unable to do their work, and are falling further and further behind, then obviously teachers are going to be very concerned for that child,” Andrew Spar, a former music teacher and president of the Florida Education Association, told Orlando Weekly. Setting baseline restrictions on the kinds of labor children can perform, and how many hours they can work “sends a message that school is the priority,” Spar added. And there are opportunities for students to safely gain practical experience in the trades already. Florida’s public school system has

[ news + views ] career and technical education programs, which allow students to gain knowledge, hands-on experience, and even certification ahead of graduation in a wide range of industries, including construction. According to the Florida Department of Education, there are 1.2 million students involved in some kind of CTE program across the state, representing a 9.5% increase over the last four years. Eight hundred thousand of those students are in secondary education, while the rest are in post-secondary education, a pre-apprenticeship or an apprenticeship program. In Central Florida, the Orange County public school system alone has 22 career specialists (one for each high school) — more than double the number of employees the entire state has dedicated to enforcing child labor law. Safety in these programs, including those that offer supervised instruction in construction and architecture, is a top priority. “We’re part of the public education system here, so we’re highly regulated in terms of safety, all those types of metrics,” Parker Antoine, director of Orange County Public Schools’ CTE program, told Orlando Weekly. “All our teachers and administrators and everybody takes this stuff very seriously, because we are part of the seventh largest school district in the country as well as an accredited institution,” said Antoine, who coordinates programming through Orange

Technical College, a public institution. “We’re extremely buttoned up.” Middle school and high school students in those programs, he confirmed, develop their skills in labs or classrooms, not on potentially dangerous job sites.

Strengthening enforcement of child labor laws

With or without changes to Florida’s child labor law, the fact remains that violations are a growing problem. From 2019 to 2022, child labor violations nearly tripled, according to federal data analyzed by the Florida Policy Institute, from 95 violations in 2019 to 281 in 2022. And these are just the cases that are investigated. More cases of child labor violations may go unreported, or may not be fully investigated and therefore included in official counts. David Weil, the former Wage and Hour administrator, says there’s a number of strategies the local, state, and federal governments could take to strengthen enforcement (and no, it doesn’t involve allowing teens to work longer hours or on high-rise construction projects). Lawmakers, for instance, could increase penalties for breaking the law, so that fines, particularly for larger companies, consist of more than a slap on the wrist. Even the federal Wage and Hour division admits the maximum

civil penalty for law-breaking employers under federal law — $15,138 per child — is “not high enough to be a deterrent for major profitable companies.” But additional funding is also needed for enforcement staffing and other resources to support agency efforts. Otherwise, a steeper penalty is all teeth with no bite. “This is not simple work. This is very resourceand labor-intensive,” said Terri Gerstein, director of the NYU Wagner Labor Initiative, in a recent webinar hosted by the Economic Policy Institute. Gerstein spent 17 years enforcing labor laws through positions in the New York Attorney General’s Office and New York State Department of Labor. Prior to that, she worked as a nonprofit lawyer in Miami, aiding immigrant workers. Effectively enforcing the law, she said, “requires pre-planning, search warrants, sometimes talking to school officials, going on site at all odd hours of the day, talking to minors who may be afraid of talking to the investigators.” It may also require (and best be served by) collaboration with community organizations, schools, and building and health inspectors, she added. Allowing children or their parents to take private action against a law-breaking employer could also help reduce the burden on government agencies, said Gerstein, and governments could additionally deter violations by publicly posting the names of violators.

New Jersey, for instance, recently passed a law creating an online wall of shame, where they list employers that have failed to satisfy outstanding liabilities for wage, benefit, and tax violations. The state also prohibits these businesses from entering into public contracts and thus receiving taxpayers’ money. A number of other states — including Arkansas, following public pressure — have similarly passed laws to strengthen child labor protections. California, a state that’s comparatively labor-friendly, last year passed a landmark law mandating workers’ rights education in public schools. Colorado passed a law that allows injured victims of child labor violations to sue employers for damages. House Bill 49 has advanced through two House panels with Republicans in support, but still faces a couple more votes before full passage. A somewhat watered-down version of HB 49 in the Senate, sponsored by Sen. Danny Burgess, has not yet received a hearing. Both chambers must approve the legislation in order for it to be sent to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for his signature. The teen roofer bill, SB 460, has not been heard yet by any committee or subcommittee in the state Senate. Florida’s 2024 legislative session officially kicks off Jan. 9, 2024. Session will last 60 days, concluding March 8. mschueler@orlandoweekly.com

ZORA FOREVER This year’s iteration of the annual Zora Neale Hurston Festival fills Eatonville with a celebration of ‘who we were, who we are and who we are becoming’ BY RI CH AR D R EEP

ind of like Black Panther’s Wakanda, a hypothetical land made by Black people for Black people, Eatonville was founded by African Americans for African Americans. But it’s a real place — the oldest all-Black town in the United States. Eatonville is where American literary giant Zora Neale Hurston grew up and a place she later wrote much about, which is why the Preserve Eatonville organization hosts an annual Zora Neale Hurston Festival of Arts & Humanities (familiarly known as Zora! Fest). This year, the festival welcomes African artist Louise Deininger at

Eatonville’s Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts with the opening reception of a show that will be on view until Dec. 31. On Saturday, Jan. 20, the museum will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Deininger will give a talk at 1 p.m. We spoke with Deininger via WhatsApp while she was packing to leave her home in Vienna, Austria. She was happy to see Florida’s sunshine streaming through the phone screen. She’s not from Wakanda, of course, but grew up in Uganda, Kenya and the U.K. “I’m so excited to come to Florida,” she exclaimed, just like any Euro tourist.

Deininger told us she chose “fairly new work” for this show, built with a contextual approach. “I started with a gathering of women of color, indigenous women from all over, and we mostly talked about our ancestors. People brought textiles, photographs, strings of fabric, and other tokens to link themselves to their ancestors. One participant brought ashes from Mexico,” she recalled. Deininger used the energy from this gathering, as well as the songs, dance, poetry and objects to visualize the voices of the participants, both living and dead. Her art includes a lot of research.“Oh yeah,”she said, “I took a lot of notes to capture not just the stories but the emotions and feelings that arose from these stories.” Her paintings are the result of this process, and her work asks the simplest yet most profound question: “Who are we?” “Tugo Kas to Teko” is one such painting. “It’s about the playful nature of our ancestors, and their strength,”she replied when asked to translate the title. “There’s a little picture of a grandmother embedded in the painting, and it is about her physical strength and how she played with children.” The painting is inspired by

many people, she explained, represented perhaps by this one person. We talked about Afrofuturism, the Black art and design movement that envisions the future through a Black lens, often utilizing science fiction tropes (think Black Panther). Deininger’s artwork resonates deeply with this movement, delving into spiritual science, critical thinking and identity to define who we are becoming. “Consciousness comes from who we were, and is about who we are,” said Deininger.“As an artist I seek for signs in my research to point the way toward who we are becoming.”She shared with us how the emotional and spiritual content of her work led to a vision of the future. “Afrofuturism is just the biggest theme taking place in the social and political world right now!” she exclaimed. It is certainly the biggest theme of this year’s Zora Festival. For the last five years, the festival has explored Afrofuturism with a focus on art, music, or other aspects of human expression. This year’s focus is space — specifically, Eatonville’s space, with a hint of outer space, too — at a four-day academic conference chaired by Dr. Scot French of the University of Central Florida.“This is the final year of the Afrofuturism cycle; it’s the best time to check it out,” he advises. A driving force behind the Zora’s five-year Afrofuturism project is Dr. Julian Chambliss, formerly of Rollins College and now at Michigan State University. “Striving toward freedom has required the Black imagination to see new paths and imagine different worlds,” says Chambliss, who uses comic books to explore the Black imagination. While some dismiss comic books and superheroes as pulp, Chambliss sees them as a vital mirror held up to our culture. In addition to Deininger’s visual art exhibition and the academic exploration of Afrofuturistic expression, the festival will include a cultural heritage tourism workshop, book readings, walking tours, a progressive reception jointly hosted with the Maitland Art & History Museum, a dinner and cooking class with DaJen Eats chef Jenn Ross, and other gatherings all leading up to the final weekend’s Outdoor Festival of the Arts. That weekend, with its carnival atmosphere and live concerts, is probably the best-known part of Zora Fest. (This year’s performers include D.C. go-go legends EU and ’80s R&B stars Club Nouveau, among others.) But it’s worth visiting zorafestival.org/schedule to see how much is going on. arts@orlandoweekly.com

Two fearless female fighters, Gatorland’s Savannah Boan and her plucky charge Jawlene, aim to inspire empathy for even the non-cuddly critters that need our support In my years as an entertainment

journalist, I’ve been lucky enough to speak with more than my share of award-winning artists and high-powered executives; I’ve even enjoyed face time with a childhood hero or two. But it’s extremely unusual for any celebrity meetand-greet to leave me with wobbly knees and sweaty palms like I experienced during my recent encounter at Gatorland with the worldfamous Jawlene. That’s mostly because meeting this pint-sized alligator — who went viral last year when she was rescued from a Sanford swamp after somehow surviving a horrific amputation of her entire upper jaw — required gingerly duck-walking my way inside Gatorland’s baby gator exhibit, with tourists gaping at me through foggy Plexiglas. Crouched in the corner of the fragrant enclosure,

just inches away from the miraculous little maneater’s razor-sharp remaining mandible, I stilled my shaking hands long enough to take video of her chomping on raw chicken, deftly compensating for her disability with her dextrous tongue. The resulting Reel swiftly racked up over a million more views than anything I’ve previously posted on Instagram, once again proving the amazing power that animals have (even those that aren’t conventionally adorable) to touch hearts and change lives. Someone who knows that power better than most is Savannah Boan, the fiercely fearless woman who led me into that reptilian rec room, locked us both inside — so nobody could enter or escape, natch — and served Jawlene her snacks, while I tried desperately not to accidentally step on any of her sleeping cousins. Boan first attracted my ear over a quarter-century ago as one of the outrageous personalities on 104.1 FM’s “Russ & Bo Show,” which evolved into the massively successful “Monsters in the Morning” talk show. Boan, who calls her radio persona “a caricature of myself,” has exited and rejoined the anarchic

troupe over the decades. “We’re like a family — it’s really, really a blessing to have known those people for that long,” Boan says. “It’s a really warm spot.” However, long before she became on-air den-mother to a pathological pack of manchildren, Boan longed to work with wild creatures of a completely different kind. “Growing up in a small town in South Carolina, I didn’t have that many friends and my family was not affluent, so I remember taking in all these stray pets, bringing them into my house, against my mom’s better judgment,” she recalls. The first time she ever visited Gatorland, “It was a rainy day, and I remember thinking that none of the animals were real until I saw the Jumparoo show. In that moment, I know it sparked something,” she says, “a love of wildlife that I’d always had when I was younger.” Boan worked at a reptile zoo during a sojourn in California, then spent seven years submitting job applications at Gatorland before finally landing her dream job. “The only reason I came back to Florida was because I wanted to work

for Gatorland,” Boan says, adding that she was finally interviewed and hired directly by the 75-year-old family-owned park’s CEO, Mark B. McHugh. Today, Boan serves a dual role as both the world’s first professional “Crocodilian Enrichment Coordinator” inside the park and the International Ambassador for Gatorland Global, whose conservation projects supporting croc sanctuaries in places like Jamaica and Cuba are entirely funded by Gatorland’s social media channels. “Gatorland is really big on people developing relationships with the animals that they care for,” says Boan, whose work involves spending endless hours simply watching and talking to her crocodile companions. “Their nuances are very subtle: It could be an eye closing when you’re around, it could be a turn, it could be a deep breath. … I don’t know what [the animal’s] terms of the relationship are, but I know what mine are, and that is to be in the presence of this amazing dinosaur.” Which brings us full circle back to the amazing Jawlene, who Boan suspects was likely mutilated by a boat propeller or machete before being brought to Gatorland by Florida Wildlife Commission trapper Jerry Flynn. “She was such a survivor, her injury was all the way completely cleaned up and cleared by the time she got here,” Boan says, explaining that Jawlene taught herself to force her glottis into her sinuses so that she can swim without drowning. “There’s no way she would have survived [in the wild long-term] but she was doing pretty good for what she was having to deal with, [and] she’s doing great now — she’s the happiest little alligator.” Jawlene has gotten global attention unlike anything in Gatorland history.“Even now, every single day, everybody that comes to the park just asks about her all the time,” says Boan. “For all of these people that love her so much, it’s a great success and survival story.” Boan hopes Jawlene will help inspire empathy for other non-cuddly creatures. “It’s hard to get people to want to conserve something that could hurt or harm them, but if you fall in love with Jawlene, then you might see the whole picture a little bit differently.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

“Classic” ceviche at Mares Real Peruvian Cuisine in Winter Park | Photo by Rob Bartlett

STAYING AFLOAT Mares in Winter Park navigates the treacherous restaurant depths of Park Avenue

MARES REAL PERUVIAN CUISINE 528 S. Park Ave., Winter Park 689-312-1705 mareswinterpark.com $$$$

BY FA IYAZ KARA

he steady proliferation of Peruvian restaurants around town over the past couple of decades has led to a great diversity of options for lovers of this most multi-culti of cuisines. There are high-end joints like Papa Llama; contemporary eating houses like Pisco Peruvian Gastrobar; and traditional players like the always solid Aji Ceviche Bar, El Inka Grill and Memories of Peru. But Mares, a Hunter’s Creek outfit that’s opened an outpost on fickle Park Avenue in Winter Park, seems to defy being pigeonholed. The fare, rooted in traditional Peruvian, won’t be mistaken for the dishes served at Central or Astrid y Gastón in Lima. The exploding Toucan Sam rainforest interior falls, I suppose, within the bounds of a contemporary aesthetic, while the upmarket prices may have you squawking like the bird on a Froot Loops box. Hey, I get it: The monthly rent here is very likely in the low five figures, which explains why some of the same dishes served at the Hunter’s Creek location cost more when served in Winter Park. But one advantage Mares has over other Peruvian restaurants in town is that most of the ingredients come straight from Peru. I know because the gentleman sitting next to us — a chap we later came to learn was one of the owners — told us so. “Even the meats?” I

ask. “No, not the meats,” he responds, “but that octopus you’re eating, yes.” Indeed, the pulpo parrillero ($30), a simmering hot plate of grilled intelligence served over fat kernels of choclo and fried potatoes, was an appetizer with legs, and then some. Another head-nodder of a starter was the “classic” ceviche ($27), but the price of the citrusy zinger of sea bass served with sweet potato and the corny duo of choclo and its crunchier cousin, cancha, made it a little hard to swallow. Consider it’s $23 at Mares Hunter’s Creek, and $17.95 at Aji. Also hard to swallow: a $17 passionfruit pisco sour that was very light on the pisco.“I might’ve been better off getting a glass of passionfruit juice for $9,” I mutter to the pal. That said, the owner was kind enough to send over complimentary cups of chicha morada, the spiced and refreshing beverage made from purple corn. “We make it with corn from the Andes, not from a can like other places,” he says, and it’s a purple potable I’d order again. Hell, I’d pop into Mares just for a glass ($6) but, sadly, not much else. Yes, the prices are a bit of a deterrent, but Mares doesn’t provide a special enough experience to justify them as, say, Pisco or Papa Llama do. A plate of arroz chaufa ($24), or chicken fried rice, is $14.95 at Memories of

Peru, $16.95 at Aji and $23 at El Inka, and their versions have the sort of wokky essence that the one at Mares lacked. Same goes with the lomo saltado ($28). Mares presents the beef stir-fry with plush chunks of filet mignon, which is nice, but the flavors were so much more muted than expected. I will say that the pescado a lo macho ($28), a pan-fried fillet of sea bass doused in a rich, creamy sauce fired with aji amarillo and embellished with octopus rings, mussels, scallops and shrimp, was as bold a dish as they come. It’s also a dish that’s Peruvian to its core, even without any potatoes or corn. It seemed somewhat fitting to end with sweet, dense and utterly luscious “Suspiro de Limeña” or “The Sigh of a Lady From Lima” ($10). I let out a deep breath when I got the check, then couldn’t help but go through the roster of restaurants that have occupied this very space: Maestro Cucina Napoletana in 2017, Antonio’s Trattoria & Wine Bar a couple of years later, followed by Grato and the even shorter-lived Fortuna Bakery. For whatever reason, turnover in this particular space is high — just something that comes with the territory when navigating the choppy mares of the Park Avenue dining scene.

Tom’s Watch Bar, an 11,000-square-foot, boobtube-heavy behemoth by Smashburger founder Tom Ryan, is slated to open next month on the top floor of the Hollywood Plaza Garage entertainment complex on International Drive. Meanwhile, on the ground floor, look for Atlanta-based Indian street food concept Masti (which means “mischief”) to open this spring … Orlando restaurant The Strand will take over the space formerly occupied by the British Shoppe next door and open a sister operation called d.b.a. In addition to cocktails, they’ll also serve small plates … Johnny’s Diner has opened at 500 State Road 436 in Casselberry. The restaurant is run by Linda Prekaj, who operated the original Johnny’s Diner on Semoran Boulevard in Winter Park with her brother Giovanni “Johnny” Krasniqi. Krasniqi opened a Johnny’s Diner in September at 10169 University Blvd. in the Suncrest Village Plaza. Double the Johnny’s, double the fun … Sorekara, the high-concept venture embodying “the Japanese philosophy of culinary arts re-created with European imagination,” will open next month at 4979 New Broad St. in Baldwin Park. The restaurant is by James Beard Award-nominated restaurateurs Johnny and Jimmy Tung, with chef William Shen at the helm … Vicky Bakery, the Miami-based operation that started in 1972, will open their first location outside South Florida next month at the Shoppes at South Semoran at 4556 S. Semoran Blvd. They’ll serve everything from pastelitos to medianoches to café con leche … Vida Tacos & Tequila, an upscale Mexican restaurant from the owners of Garibaldi in Apopka, has opened at 275 W. State Road 436 in Altamonte Springs … Farm & Haus owners Patrick Lyne and Brittany Walsh-Lyne will shutter their stall inside East End Market after nine years. The pair will focus on the Farm & Haus restaurant on Park Avenue, which celebrates its one-year anniversary this month. Moving into the EEM space in March will be Hinckley’s Fancy Meats owner Matt Hinckley with a barbecue concept called Boxer & Clover … Great Greek Mediterranean Grill will open at the Trelago Market in Maitland “before the end of March,” according to a spokesperson. Contemporary Mexican woodfire concept Naya Comida + Barrita by Agave Azul owner Juan Rios is expected to open at Trelago later this spring.

Bonnie “Prince” Billy, king of the castle | Photo by Urban Wyatt

EASING DOWN THE ROAD Spend ‘An Evening With Bonnie “Prince” Billy’ at the Dr. Phillips Center BY ANTH ONY MAU SS

ill Oldham hasn’t played Florida for over a decade. His last jaunt through the Sunshine State was a grassroots string of smaller performances at record stores and radio stations. Part of that jaunt included a mystical set at Orlando’s own Park Ave CDs exchanging vocal harmonies with Angel Olsen as a live workshop of sorts for the songs that would make up the bulk of his 2011 album Wolfroy Goes to Town. But for this tour supporting his latest record, Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You, we find the restless artist playing a slightly more luxurious but no less intimate space in the Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater at the Dr. Phillips Center this week. Oldham released his first album, There Is No-One What Will Take Care of You, in 1993 under the Palace Brothers moniker, releasing four albums under that name or as Palace Music before settling on the Bonnie “Prince”Billy persona for 1999’s release I See a Darkness. This album still serves as a primer for the nuanced, raw and

achingly beautiful music he has continued to make throughout his career. With 19 official albums as Bonnie “Prince”Billy, Oldham has amassed a catalog rife with intricate vulnerabilities and hard-won, though cryptic, wisdom about the human condition. Oldham has been often cited as a leading light of the No Depression alt-country movement along with fellow travelers Smog, Lambchop and Neko Case, sharing a sparse, literate and incisive approach to songwriting. These same qualities have garnered him comparisons to Southern Gothic writers Flannery O’Connor and Carson McCullers. For his part, Oldham is less than certain about these parallels. “When you talk about Southern culture or Kentucky, I can only say it is about being who we are, or rather, who I am. There are no intentional stylistic approaches; I don’t know how to play another instrument besides a guitar. I am trying to explore interpersonal connection more than the fundamentals of music,”muses Oldham.“Our

community is those other pieces of work, which makes for an interesting grouping of voices. These voices are honed primarily internally but with the guidance of these other available texts.” The albums that make up the Bonnie “Prince” Billy discography are organic cosmologies of the inner workings of his songs’ protagonists. His lyrics have an unadorned honesty and deceptive simplicity that invite the listener into a conversation about humanity that often measures its heaviness with a knowing humor. “I am trying to put as much heart, as much content and as much work into these songs as possible and to augment these consolingly or comfortingly intimate meditative songs to build communion and connection,” explains Oldham of the writing of his latest record. “That is where the logic of these songs exists, and that is a vital and crucial space. “I try to make songs that are open to a kind of welcoming or a kind of interpretation where people will find themselves throughout the song

and recognize their relationship to the song and why they would want to hear it again and why I would want to sing it again. Ideally, it is about singing about something we share.” The attempt to create something that both the artist and the audience can share extends to how Oldham builds his live performance. Oldham works from a body of songs that can be tailored to the atmosphere of a space, an audience and an evening, rather than being tied to an inflexible setlist. “That’s part of the goal, to see someone who is fluent and comfortable in what they are doing,” says Oldham.“There is all this work that goes into this, so that in that moment you can experience and communicate and feel free.” And really, when you get down to it, who doesn’t want to feel free? music@orlandoweekly.com

[ local music ] Opening track “Habibi,” for example, rides tall on synth hooks that evoke prime A Split-Second. Meanwhile,“Junkie” deals in the dense claustrophobia of Front 242, and the hypnotic pulse of “Respect” is textbook EBM. Finally, “Wake Up” closes on a heavy new-beat note with a thick, plodding stomp and acid keyboards. Dance Don’t Dance, Vol. 1 is an impressively redux take on a chapter of electronic music that’s in renaissance right now. With this release, Dance Don’t Dance are positioning themselves in the rising new class of industrial revivalists. Their debut EP is a Bandcamp-only release.

LOCAL RELEASES

Tommy “Mot” Barger has been an Orlando music scene mover for decades. His influence dates back to the 1990s, when he was a prominent DJ during the house-music boom that rocketed our city onto the global stage; since then, he’s remained connected to Orlando’s musical pulse in a variety of capacities as a scene-maker, from promoter (Panic Underground, No One Knows I’m Disco, Blackstar/Odd Jobs, Stonewall) to venue owner (Spacebar). But it’s been at least a couple of decades since Barger has actually made music himself. With the fresh debut of Dance Don’t Dance, Mot is at last back to creating music, and even singing for the first time ever. While formed and anchored by Mot, DDD is conceived as a collaborative project with open-ended possibilities. Its musical core is the duo of Mot and Taylor B., frontman of industrial band Pressure Kitten. The brain trust behind the venture also includes creative director Nick M, Mot’s DJ partner in Panic Underground. And Mot tells me that may just be the beginning, because his concept for Dance Don’t Dance is a cross-pollinating project in the spirit of legendary, and famously familial, industrial label Wax Trax! Records.

Dance Don’t Dance is a collaborative project from Tommy Mot and Taylor B. of Pressure Kitten. With their new release, Dance Don’t Dance, Vol. 1, they’re positioning themselves in the new class of industrial revivalists

DDD recently made their official introductions with debut mini-album Dance Don’t Dance, Vol. 1. As the appearance of Taylor B. would suggest, this project pulses more from the industrial side of the dance floor than Mot’s previous work. In fact, Vol. 1 plays like a primer of the underground electronic music of 1980s Belgium.

Alina Jacobs + Noa Jacques, Zachary Hickerson + Will Bess, Jonas Van den Bossche: House shows often get noisy, but few serve up pure noise like the ones at the Dining Room, the Winter Park artists’ home that’s a bastion for experimental music performance. Their next showcase features a couple of notable duos — NYC noise saxophonist Alina Jacobs and Northeastern improv drummer Noa Jacques bring their free-jazz cred to town, and Tampa Bay saxophonist Zachary Hickerson (Storage Music Unit) and Orlando’s Will Bess (Warm Frames, Tiger Beat) will bring the noise themselves. Also playing will be resident artist Jonas Van den Bossche. Since the Dining Room is a private family home, masks are encouraged (’tis the season). And since it’s a free show, donations are also encouraged for the performers. Otherwise, brace yourself for maximum skronk. (6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 18, The Dining Room, donations accepted) Mary Gauthier, Jaimee Harris: Long before the current groundswell of queer country music, Mary Gauthier has been representing for over a quarter century. While many roots artists wax poetic about tough lives, Gauthier actually lived it. Still, her darkly moody music sidesteps country cliché for deeper examinations of raw humanity. Also on the bill is Jaimee Harris, Gauthier’s real-life partner and an emerging Americana artist in her own right. It’s a chance to see a legend and a riser in uniquely intimate juxtaposition. (6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 18, Gram Parsons’ Derry Down, $25) Eric Bachmann living room show: A rock star playing in your living room sounds like hypothetical fan fantasy. But for Eric Bachmann (Archers of Loaf, Crooked Fingers), it’s actually become something of an Orlando tradition. The indie-rock legend has chosen this incredibly intimate format on his past couple swings through, and the results have been magical. Well, the up-close Bachmann engagement is happening once again, and if you’re a fan, this is a bucket-list experience. Again, this show will be in a private home, so masks are definitely encouraged.

Stop Believing

One of the more promising recent club/non-club nights is the “dark ambient” fête Stop Believing. The very appropriately named irregularly occurring night — a riff on the Journey anthem? — happens at Indie’s this time around, midweek (because a weekend night would be wayyyy too inherently hopeful for these sorts of soundscapes). Think Lull, Final, Scorn, Stars of the Lid, Caroline K or Christoph de Babylon’s “Opium.” Following a stern mission statement of “no beats,” the evening features the trio of nihilistic regulars Kurt Rambus (aka DJ Nigel John), Late Bloomer and Richard Jerousek each performing live ambient sets, with similarly forbidding drones provided by Rambus between. If your head nods at all during this one, you’ve either fallen asleep … or far worse. 10 p.m., Lil Indie’s, 1036 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, free. — Matthew Moyer

Meet Me at the Altar

Local pop-punk heroes Meet Me at the Altar are kicking off their 2024 tour with a hometown show in the City Beautiful. Guitarist Téa Campbell, drummer Ada Juarez and vocalist Edith Victoria played their first ever show back in 2017 at the inimitable Uncle Lou’s because, as Campbell shared with Orlando Weekly, “That was the only venue that would take us!” Since history was made in that wonderfully worn space, the trio has steadily made strides toward world domination: releasing their first full-length: snagging headlines in Teen Vogue, Billboard, Rolling Stone and the New York Times; and performing their television debut on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Nothing has ever come easy for this band, but through relentless work and incredible talent, MMATA has not only solidified their place in pop-punk’s present and future, but this trio of Gen Z women of

Last time TNA Wrestling came to town for a weekend of television tapings, the fed was still known as Impact Wrestling. A couple of months ago, though, the wrestling company reverted back to their old branding. Does that mean everything new is old again? Not quite. TNA Redux has a strong young working roster, including new Women’s champion Jordynne Grace, new champion Moose, X-Division champion Chris Sabin, and heavy hitters like PCO, Josh Alexander and the Knockouts tag-team champs of Rosemary and Havok. Additionally, the company just announced a partnership with Mexican promotion AAA, which should net an influx of lucha excitement, and the former Dolph Ziggler, Nic Nemeth just debuted. These tapings tend to be raucous and with a surprising percentage of marquee matches for a good price.

The Last Five Years

Grab your tissues (or a sleeve you’re willing to stain, we never judge) because Out and Proud Productions is staging a queer production of Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years, a two-person musical that documents the five-year relationship of a novelist and an actress in New York City as they fall in and out of love. While certainly not the most uplifting musical, it maintains a darkly humorous tone even through its documentation of the aspects of relationships that we may be scared

Mr. Big

Mr. Big is ready “To Be With You,” Orlando. The Los Angeles-based supergroup took the music world by storm in the late 1980s, hitting the charts hard with earworm melodies and catchy choruses welded to shredding chops that set the tone in hard rock for a few glorious, pre-grunge years. With a breakup in 2002 and reunion in 2009, Mr. Big has been through some pretty, well, big changes. Current band members Eric Martin, Billy Sheehan, Paul Gilbert and Nick D’Virgilio are taking their “The Big Finish Tour” down to Florida after kicking

WEEK off the global tour in Japan last summer. Although “The Big Finish” is purported to be the band’s farewell to live performance, we have a feeling that Mr. Big will be “Alive and Kickin’” for a while … there are rumors of a new album in the works, after all. 7 p.m., Plaza Live, 425 N.
