¶ Protect Gaza’s children

According to the United Nations Children’s Fund statement on the war in Gaza, “Vulnerable newborns and sick and wounded children in need of intensive care are being killed in tents, in incubators and in the arms of their parents.”

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who is expected to serve as Donald Trump’s Secretary of State, believes that “Hamas is 100 percent to blame” for the death of babies in the Gaza Strip. Rubio claims that the terror group is building military infrastructure under hospitals. However, an open letter sent to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris from 99 U.S. healthcare workers who volunteered in Gaza states that none of these medical professionals have seen any evidence of Palestinian militant activity in Gazan hospitals. Moreover, a recent article in medical journal The Lancet is titled, “Will there be a future for newborns in Gaza?”

The article contends that Israel’s targeting of maternity hospitals and its blockade of medical supplies like anesthetics and maternity kits have led to life-threatening conditions for thousands of pregnant women.

In his address to the U.N. General Assembly, Dr. Amery Browne, Minister of Foreign Affairs for Trinidad and Tobago, asserted: “There are some powerful people in this world who are of the view that a Palestinian child is less worthy of defense, protection, food, water and life than another child.”

¶ Protect Florida’s manatees

As we end November, it’s time to reflect on an important anniversary for Florida’s iconic marine mammal: Manatee Awareness Month. This year marks 45 years since the late former Governor Bob Graham first declared this special month in

1979, shining a spotlight on the need to protect manatees and their fragile aquatic habitat. These gentle giants, Florida’s official marine mammal, face numerous threats, from habitat loss and watercraft collisions to pollution.

Manatees are particularly vulnerable this time of year, as dropping temperatures force them to seek refuge in Florida’s warm-water sites. Despite their size, manatees cannot tolerate water below 68OF for long periods, so their survival depends on these critical habitats, and protected sites like Blue Spring State Park in Central Florida become lifesaving sanctuaries each winter.

The public plays a vital role in manatee conservation, especially as this imperiled species returns to their winter refuges. Whether you’re boating, paddling, or enjoying water activities, we all need to keep an eye out for manatees and report any that appear injured or in distress. You can report these sightings to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at 1-888-404-3922 or by texting “FWC” to 847411.

This November, Save the Manatee Club would like to remind everyone of their free educational resources, videos, and celebrated live webcam feeds to help people learn more about these unique animals and how to protect them. It’s a chance for all of us to get involved, whether by volunteering, advocating for stronger conservation policies, or simply spreading awareness.

This 45th Manatee Awareness Month serves as a powerful reminder that protecting Florida’s manatees is a shared responsibility. As we celebrate how far we’ve come, we must also recognize the work that still lies ahead to ensure manatees and their habitat are safeguarded for future generations.

Orange County commissioners reluctantly consider local law to ban sleeping in public, Rep. Maxwell Frost calls for closure of ‘inhumane’ Florida immigrant detention center, Trump taps Bondi, and other news you may have missed.

» Local church hosts Transgender Day of Remembrance gathering

Last Wednesday, Nov. 20, marked the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance, a time to honor transgender people who lost their lives to hate crimes and anti-trans violence. It’s also a day to show compassion for transgender folks — our neighbors, co-workers, family members — who are still with us today, particularly in the current political climate. Gender Identity in Florida Today Orlando and Transitional Space hosted a community gathering and vigil Wednesday at First United Church of Christ to remember the beautiful members of the trans community no longer with us and to stand in solidarity for the protection of the transgender folks around us. The special gathering featured speeches, remembrances, a candlelight vigil, and a performance from the Orlando Gay Chorus, a group devoted to uplifting LGBTQ+ voices.

» Orange County to consider new local law banning public encampment

The Orange County Board of County Commissioners last week had an uncomfortable discussion about how to react to a new state law that bans sleeping on public property. The law, pitched to state lawmakers by the conservative Cicero Institute, holds local governments accountable for enforcing the ban. It officially went into effect last month, but doesn’t open the county up to potential lawsuits for alleged violations until Jan. 1, 2025. Many municipalities in Florida, including Orlando, already had local bans on public encampments in place that preceded the statewide ban — punishable through fines, jail time, or both. Orange County, however, does not. And as local nonprofits warn of a dearth in homeless shelter capacity (we currently have a deficit of more than 900 shelter beds) amid a sharp increase in unsheltered homelessness, county leaders said they hoped new initiatives county staff have come up with — such as increasing shelter capacity, landlord incentives, and investing in “tiny homes” — will help prevent the county from being forced to arrest or jail people whose only “crime” is that they don’t have a place to sleep. To help address and prevent homelessness, the county government allocated about $45.6 million in this year’s budget for homelessness services, then added another $10 million to the bucket after the statewide camping ban got the approval of Florida legislators and Gov. DeSantis.

» Orlando’s Maxwell Frost seeks closure of Florida detention center U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-FL, took to his Instagram page Monday to call for the closure of Baker Detention Center in North Florida because of what he described as inhumane conditions for immigration detainees. The Center, a county jail near Jacksonville, operates in part as a federal immigration detention facility. Frost, a member of the House Oversight Committee, made a surprise visit to Baker last year. “What I saw was horrible, and I saw conditions that no human should live in,” he said. Frost added that the most common refrain from the detainees he spoke with when visiting the jail was that they either wanted to move to another ICE facility or simply give up their legal fight to remain in the U.S., regardless of how unsafe the conditions are back home. Although the Baker facility is not in his district, Frost said his job as member of the Oversight Committee is to oversee the federal government and make sure things are being done in the “correct manner.” The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida, representing a medical practitioner and a woman with second-hand knowledge of the conditions at Baker, recently filed a civil rights complaint with the feds alleging human rights violations at the facility, and it’s not the first time Baker has faced similar allegations. Frost said it was important to highlight the situation at Baker because of President-elect Donald Trump’s promise of a “mass deportation” that would round up immigrants around the country who have violated the law.

» Trump taps former Florida AG Pam Bondi for U.S. attorney general Just shortly after alleged sexual predator and former U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration for Trump’s dream-team administration, Trump tapped former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi to replace Gaetz as his pick for the next U.S. Attorney General. Trump said Bondi, a former Hillsborough County prosecutor who was elected state attorney general in 2010 and re-elected in 2014, will “refocus” the Department of Justice. “For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans — not anymore,”

Trump said in a statement posted on Truth Social. In September 2016, records surfaced showing Trump donated $25,000 to Bondi in 2013, just before her office opted to not pursue a fraud case against Trump University. In 2019, she was hired by the Trump administration to assist in his impeachment defense, as the then-president faced accusations that included trying to improperly influence Ukraine to provide damaging information about the Biden family. Florida Democrats blasted Bondi’s nomination. Florida Democratic Party chair Nikki Fried said in a statement, “Don’t forget — Pam Bondi tried to take health care away from millions of Floridians. When Donald Trump says he’s going to end the ACA, believe him now that he’s nominated Pam Bondi to finish the job.”

» Florida agrees to pay $725K in legal fees for ‘Stop WOKE Act’ lawsuit

Florida has agreed to pay $725,000 in legal fees and costs to businesses that successfully challenged part of a 2022 law that Gov. Ron DeSantis dubbed the “Stop WOKE Act.” A court filing said the state and the plaintiffs reached a settlement Nov. 4 on attorney fees and other legal costs. The underlying lawsuit involved a challenge to part of the law that placed restrictions on addressing race-related issues in workplace training. Walker in 2022 issued a preliminary injunction against the restrictions on free-speech grounds. Plaintiffs in the suit included Primo Tampa LLC, a Ben & Jerry’s ice-cream franchisee; Honeyfund.com Inc., a Clearwater-based technology company; and Chevara Orrin and her company, Collective Concepts LLC. The Stop WOKE Act, approved in 2022 as an attempt to undermine DEI initiatives, put restrictions on workplace trainings as well as the education system.

Under Trump, Biden’s plan to protect workers from extreme heat is likely to melt away

Just one day after a new Florida law took effect this summer that forbids local governments from passing local heat safety protections for workers, the Biden administration announced a federal rule that would, for the first time, create a federal standard for heat safety in the workplace nationwide. The rule, first proposed by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration in 2021, seeks to protect millions of workers from the dangers of extreme heat on the job. It would require employers to provide basic needs, such as water and rest breaks, when temperatures

exceed certain thresholds. Altogether, it could strengthen heat safety protections for roughly 35 million private-sector and federal workers in Florida who face increasingly oppressive temperatures during the year’s hottest months.

But that’s only if it sees the light of day. The rule will only go into effect if it is finalized by OSHA, the federal agency that enforces workplace health and safety rules. Under an administration run by President-elect Donald Trump, however, experts aren’t confident that this will happen. Employer-side law firms, like Fisher Phillips, expect the rule will simply “melt

organization is “very concerned” the incoming Trump administration will put an end to the Biden administration’s heat safety proposal, “thus ensuring that our most valuable and vulnerable workers, those deemed ‘essential’ during the COVID-19 pandemic, will continue to experience unjust and inhumane working conditions.”

“Their exploitation will continue so that greedy agro-industries continue to maximize their earnings, with little to no regard of the toll their greed has on communities throughout the country,” Ruiz said in a statement.

Based in Central Florida, the Farmworker Association is a membership-based organization of over 10,000 Hispanic, Haitian and African American members who organize around social and economic justice issues affecting Florida’s diverse agricultural workforce.

And while the group supported the Biden administration’s proposal and has advocated for state-level protections in the state Legislature, the FAF also isn’t waiting for politicians to protect them.

Ruiz said the organization already distributes long-sleeve shirts and bandannas to farm and nursery workers in local communities who labor outside, to protect them from UV radiation and harmful pesticides. They hold heat-stress workshops to inform workers and community members about the dangers of heat illness, signs and symptoms, and steps to take if someone is suffering from a heat-related illness or injury. They’re not waiting for their employers to protect them, either.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 479 workers in the U.S. died from environmental heat exposure from 2011 to 2022. From 2011 to 2020, the agency identified an estimated 33,890 work-related heat injuries and illnesses that resulted in days off work.

away” in what is expected to be a more business-friendly political environment.

“The easiest thing that could happen, and probably the most likely, is they’ll just not work on it at all,” Jordan Barab, a former deputy assistant secretary of labor for OSHA under the Obama administration, told Orlando Weekly “It’ll just sit there and kind of molder, you know, for the next few years, and not progress at all.”

During Trump’s first stint in the White House, his administration scaled back on federal inspections of worksites for health and safety violations, and the number of federal inspectors employed by OSHA dropped from 952 in 2016 to 862 by January 2020. Inspectors are tasked with overseeing millions of U.S. worksites, and in states like Florida — which doesn’t have a state agency to enforce workplace safety rules — they’re the only enforcement mechanism around.

Not waiting around for politicians to take action

Ernesto Ruiz, a researcher for the Farmworker Association of Florida, told Orlando Weekly his

Such fatal injuries occur close to home. Last September, a 26-year-old man from Mexico — legally working in the U.S. under the government’s H-2A program for temporary workers — died of heat-related causes while working on a sugarcane farm in South Florida. An investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor found that the young man’s death was preventable, and could have been avoided if the employer had established rules to protect workers against heat-related hazards.

“This young man’s life ended on his first day on the job because his employer did not fulfill its duty to protect employees from heat exposure, a known and increasingly dangerous hazard,” said OSHA Area Director Condell Eastmond in a statement. According to OSHA, 50 to 70 percent of heat-related deaths occur during the first week of work, since workers haven’t yet acclimated to the heat.

Ruiz doesn’t expect any action from Florida legislators at the state level next year.

“Florida is and has been an anti-worker state, so I don’t see any reason why the state government wouldn’t continue their anti-immigrant, anti-worker and pro-big business policies.”

The stakes of abandoning protective rules at the federal level are also high. If the Biden

administration’s proposed rule is neglected, “more workers will die,” predicted Barab, who also formerly worked on workplace safety issues for the labor union AFSCME. “It’s that simple.”

A historic effort could be left in the dust

Although there is a general rule that OSHA enforces requiring employers to provide a workplace “free from recognized hazards” likely to cause serious injury or death, there is no federal workplace standard specific to extreme heat and heat-related illness.

Just six states in the country — California, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Maryland and Minnesota — have established some form of statewide workplace heat safety regulation to protect workers from extreme heat.

Florida, one of the hottest states, is not one of them. And in effect, this leaves people such as construction workers, theme park workers and agricultural workers subject to whatever protections their individual employer deigns to offer — unless they’re represented by a union that can secure legally binding commitments on workplace safety, that is, but the majority of workers in Florida (94 percent) are not.

A recent report from the progressive Florida Policy Institute found that Florida has the highest numbers of heat-related illness in the U.S., based on the number of emergency room visits and hospitalizations in the state related to extreme heat. Three Orange County students at Ocoee Middle School were reportedly hospitalized in early September for heat-related illness, an incident attributed to a faulty air-conditioning system at the school.

that prohibits local governments from establishing any sort of mandatory protective measures at the county or city level.

The bill was backed by business groups like the Chamber of Commerce, the Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association, and the Associated Builders and Contractors, whose chief lobbyist described it as a top priority for the “business community.”

“I haven’t texted you in weeks — HEAT cannot die,” lobbyist Carol Bowen wrote in a text to the Florida House’s chief of staff on March 7, the night before the end of the 2024 legislative session. “The entire business community is in lock step on this.”

Labor and immigrant advocacy groups such as the Florida AFL-CIO, the Farmworker Association of Florida, and WeCount! opposed the bill, and called on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to veto it after its passage.

“The industry argument against local worker protection ordinances is that employers are already protecting their workers,” a letter signed by 44 organizations, and sent to DeSantis ahead of his approval of the bill, reads. “If this is the case, then, why are industry leaders concerned about a bill that can protect those workers whose employers may not be providing those protections? What is business afraid of if they are already doing the right thing?”

‘The easiest thing that could happen, and probably the most likely, is they’ll just not work on it at all. It’ll just sit there and kind of molder, you know, for the next few years.’

Leadership for the local teachers’ union has said this is a chronic problem that the school district has ignored, or otherwise failed to sufficiently address, despite the danger posed to both school staff and students.

“We’ve had entire schools where the AC is not working. And right now we’re in a situation where teachers can’t open their doors or their windows because of security,” said Orange County Classroom Teachers Association president Clinton McCracken at a recent press conference, referencing a new law approved by state lawmakers. “We have students who are too hot, not just teachers.”

There’s not much action by state lawmakers to address this occupational hazard either. Florida’s Republican-controlled Legislature in recent years has either rejected or otherwise ignored proposals for statewide heat safety rules in the past, and this year passed a law (HB 433)

DeSantis, nonetheless, sided with the business community and signed it into law without offering any sort of statement. The law prohibits local governments from passing laws that mandate employers to address heat safety as well as fair scheduling, effective July 1, and will prohibit local officials from establishing or enforcing local living wage laws, effective Sept. 30, 2026.

The federal heat safety rule proposed by the Biden administration has similarly faced opposition from business groups like the Chamber of Commerce, which often oppose mandatory regulatory measures that aim to benefit working people — like minimum wage increases and workplace safety rules — describing such measures as burdensome or unnecessary. Many Republicans in Congress have also voiced opposition to the proposal, with one Republican describing it to Politico’s E&E News as “idiotic.”

As it stands, the proposed heat rule is still subject to public input. A public comment period for the rule opened in September and will close Dec. 31. Barab, the former OSHA official, said it could take another one to two years to finalize the rule after that. By that point, of course, Trump will have returned to the White House. mschueler@orlandoweekly.com

RED LIGHT FOR DISTRICT

The Orange County teachers union has filed suit against OCPS over their refusal to negotiate teacher evaluations

The Orange County teachers union, representing roughly 14,000 public school teachers, psychologists and other school staff, filed a lawsuit against the school board and district superintendent last week, arguing the defendants have unconstitutionally abridged employees’ ability to negotiate changes to teacher evaluations.

Teacher performance evaluations are conducted at least once a year, and can be used to determine pay and raises. In 2022, Florida lawmakers changed state law to limit the aspects of teacher evaluations that can be negotiated during collective bargaining sessions between labor unions and school districts.

The Orange County Classroom Teachers Association alleges, in its lawsuit, that Orange County superintendent Dr. Maria Vasquez has pointed to the law to claim that they don’t have to bargain with the union over any aspect of teacher evaluations. The union argues that this is a misinterpretation of the law.

“Defendants’ o.verreaching application of the statute creates an overly broad exclusion from collective bargaining that infringes upon Plaintiff’s constitutionally protected right,” the lawsuit reads.

Florida, a state where just about 6 percent of workers even have union representation, is unique among other states in the “nonunion” U.S. South in that its state constitution actually guarantees collective bargaining rights for

reaffirm that teachers’ rights are essential and constitutionally protected.”

According to the union, the district has proposed changes to teachers union contract that would essentially give much more power to the superintendent. The proposal, essentially gutting a section of their union contract, would allow the superintendent to decide how many evaluations can be conducted per year, when they would occur, and what the criteria of those evaluations would be.

The union argues that state law doesn’t remove substantive aspects of teacher evaluations from mandatory subjects of bargaining, just the procedures. According to the lawsuit, former superintendent Dr. Barbara Jenkins had a similar interpretation to the union’s, based on comments made at a 2022 school board meeting.

“Nevertheless, the School Board and Superintendent Vazquez have taken the position that Section 1012.34(1)(a), Florida Statutes, eliminates the legal duty to negotiate with the Union over any aspect of performance evaluations,” the lawsuit reads.

The lawsuit, filed in the Circuit Court for the Ninth Judicial Circuit, names both the Orange County School Board (which must approve negotiated collective bargaining agreements) and Superintendent Vazquez as defendants.

The district, for its part, denies any wrongdoing.

“To now file a lawsuit, two years later and after an overwhelming 95.7% vote by teachers to approve changes that would bring contracts in alignment with the law, is unfortunate,” a district spokesperson wrote in an emailed statement.

have,” Teresa Jacobs, a former Orange County mayor who now chairs the school board, admitted at the time.

Convenient timing

The issue of teacher evaluations in particular has been a sore spot with the union, due to the particularly convenient timing of changes made to statutes in 2022 dictating whether aspects of evaluations can be negotiated during bargaining.

According to screenshots of emails the union shared with Orlando Weekly, the district directly lobbied the Florida Legislature for changes to state law after the union filed a complaint against the district in 2021. The complaint, filed with the state Public Employees Relations Commission in 2018, argued the district was trying to unlawfully and unilaterally change teacher evaluation procedures affecting terms and conditions of employment while refusing to bargain over such changes.

The Commission ultimately sided with the union, finding the district had indeed committed “unfair labor practice” by refusing to negotiate these changes with the union.

The district wasn’t happy. They appealed the Commission’s ruling, which went nowhere, because the appeals court agreed with the Commission. Within a month, district representatives also began lobbying the Florida Legislature for a “PERC fix” via email, specifically to change state law around teacher evaluations and bargaining in their favor.

workers. Because that right is enshrined in the Constitution, it’s more difficult for anti-union lawmakers to mess with. Some states in the South, by comparison, ban collective bargaining rights for teachers altogether.

Under the Florida Constitution, the “right of employees, by and through a labor organization, to bargain collectively shall not be denied or abridged.” The Orange CTA, representing employees in one of the largest school districts in the country, claims the district’s interpretation of what they can lawfully refuse to bargain over violates teachers’ rights.

“We believe the district’s sweeping interpretation of the law has gone too far in stripping teachers of their rights,” said union president Clinton McCracken in a statement.

More than 90 percent of teachers in the district have received “highly effective” ratings, according to OCPS, ensuring they receive the highest raises offered to instructors under their union contract.

Teacher pay is an issue that’s been at the forefront of contract talks in recent years, due to a higher cost of living in the metro region that risks pricing teachers, and other essential public employees, out of their own communities. Along with issues such as immigration, the economy consistently polled as one of the most important issues to voters in this year’s presidential elections.

Florida’s average teacher pay of about $53,000 ranks nearly dead last in national rankings, behind only West Virginia.

“The Florida law does not give [Vazquez] unlimited rights, and her actions violate the Florida Constitution,” he continued. “Teachers deserve a say in the conditions that shape their careers and professional futures. The union is calling on the court to

Florida’s average teacher pay of about $53,000 ranks nearly dead last in national rankings, behind only West Virginia.

And while the Orange County school district agreed to what they described as a “historic” raise for teachers during contract talks last year, this year they dug their heels in, and settled with the union on an average 2 percent raise for teachers.

“It’s nowhere near enough, and yet it’s all we

“We believe the proposed changes to the statute below will cure the issue regarding the collective bargaining of the instructional personnel evaluation,” wrote Scott Howat, chief communications officer for the Foundation for Orange County Public Schools, in an email to then-State Rep. Elizabeth Fetterhoff, R-DeLand. “Thank you for your assistance and consideration,” Howat wrote.

The Orange County school district wasn’t the only entity keeping an eye on the legislation, which ultimately passed with most lawmakers in favor (save for 24 Democrats in the Florida House and two Democratic state senators who voted it down).

Lobbying disclosure records show the proposed changes, inserted into a broader education law, also caught the attention of other school districts, the statewide teachers union, and the Center for Independent Employees — an anti-union South Carolina-based nonprofit, bankrolled in part by right-wing groups like the State Policy Network and the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity astroturf group.

The Center has taken partial credit for crafting Florida’s 2023 anti-union law targeting teachers unions (and wiping out dozens of other public employee unions as collateral damage in the process). It’s led by Russ Brown, a professional union avoidance consultant who has been hired by companies like Amazon to obstruct union organizing drives.

Despite an unexpectedly soft summer season, Orlando’s attractions are ending the year on a high note. Both Disney and the Tourism Development Tax fund recently reported unexpectedly strong revenue, and expectations for next year’s debut of Universal’s Epic Universe are so elevated that the International Drive Chamber of Commerce already awarded the upcoming theme park a place of honor on its “Visionary Leadership Award” Wall of Fame, more than six months before its gates officially open. Nowhere was that mounting excitement more apparent than at last week’s annual gathering of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, which drew over 38,000 attendees and 11,000 exhibitors from around the globe to the Orange County Convention Center.

A far cry from the lean post-pandemic conventions, IAAPA Expo 2024 not only filled every corner of the vast main hall, but also expanded into the upper concourses, including a new “Haunting Grounds” walkthrough of Halloween props curated by Gatorland’s Dan Carro. In fact, IAAPA CEO Jakob Wahl told me that they hope to grow their footprint even further. “We have moved our headquarters here, we have a longterm contract, and we are very happy partners with the OCCC, said Wahl. “In terms of square footage, they have enough in the buildings, but they also need to be available for us, [and] we need a continuous path of growth for the years to come. But we think we are on a good track, and hope to be able to announce something soon on that.”

Although nothing directly connected to Epic Universe (nor any other Universal or Disney park) was unveiled at IAAPA, there was no shortage of big announcements from other major players. We got to see a moving model of the Mack Airific flying theater that will take SeaWorld Orlando

guests soarin’ over the Arctic, as well as fullsized ride cars bound for Canada’s Wonderland (Premier Rides’ AlpenFury launched coaster), Kings Dominion (B&M’s Rapterrra wing coaster), and HersheyPark (S&S’s Twizzlers Twisted Gravity giant swing). The week’s biggest domestic news was the partnership between Merlin Entertainments and Mojang Studios to bring the mega-popular Minecraft videogame to life at a U.S. location (perhaps Legoland Florida?) by 2027. Internationally, the E-Ticket reveal that most excited me was VidantaWorld’s BON, a nature-inspired “luxury theme park” that will feature more attractions than Epic Universe — including Vekoma’s Tecuani Beast double-launch coaster and Cirque du Soleil’s LUDÕ aquatic dinner show — when it opens in 2026 at Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.

Outside the big theme parks, VR continues to be a big draw for family entertainment centers, and I virtually massacred a multitude of zombies inside HTC’s sharp new Vive Focus Vision headsets. As at previous expos, I thought Atlanta-based Megaverse had the most immersive stand-alone experience, while Zero Latency (located at Icon Park) still leads the PC-based pack with their heart-pumping Warhammer 40,000 game. Even more intriguing were attempts to merge the digital and physical worlds, like Frontgrid’s simulation of paragliding over Niagara Falls, or Laser Limbo’s multiplayer mixed-reality laser tag.

Speaking of a mixed reality, I have to acknowledge IAAPA’s efforts to make this year’s Expo — and the attractions industry as a whole — more diverse and welcoming for all. Their first-ever networking luncheon for women sold out with 250 attendees; Morgan’s Wonderland launched an Inclusion Institute advocating ultra-accessibility for guests with special needs; and local firm Birket Engineering demonstrated closed-captioning eyeglasses using Disney-patented technology to project personalized subtitles. And even though Ben’s Amish pretzel samples drew the longest line, my favorite new snack was the Seoul to Table

Korean-style twisted potato, found in the convenient Street Market tasting hall. Not to overlook economic diversity, I also noted more opportunities for emerging entrepreneurs to participate in the Expo, like a line of lower-cost tabletop exhibits instead of full-sized booths. “It would be easy for us to get only Disney and Universal to speak, but what we’re trying to do is to find those subjects which are of relevance for the small [or] mid-size operator,” said Wahl, pointing to IAAPA’s educational programming and scholarship foundation. “We try to bring young people into the industry from very diverse backgrounds [and] we try to show career paths in this industry, that we have more diverse talent in the industry. … We try to support the future, to have a variety [of] backgrounds in this industry.”

Those encouraging IAAPA trends converged when I ran into actress-turned-confectioner Samantha O’Hare demonstrating her creatively crafted cotton candy for Gold Medal Products. O’Hare left the local theater scene 10 years ago, after playing Elizabeth Bathory, Alice Liddell, and a magician’s assistant. A decade later, her company, Sky Candy, has secured partnerships with major brands like Dylan’s Candy Bar, and O’Hare has earned a master’s in education so she can share her techniques and help “make more Willy Wonkas [and] Wilhemina Wonkas out there.” She says being featured in a prime location on the IAAPA show floor is “a red carpet moment for me,” adding,“I don’t know that I will ever experience something that will give me this much exposure and opportunity to speak to people who care about what I’m doing.”

Ending IAAPA back where we began at Epic Universe, I’ll leave the last word to Wahl as he looks forward to 2025: “The market is thriving because, I think more than ever, we see that across the world families matter. It matters to offer family fun, and this is why I think in a year from now we will sit here, we’ll look at a very busy show floor, and we will celebrate a fantastic new park down the road.”

BOOT LICKERS

Turci Pasta in College Park builds on a strong foundation of fresh-made noodles

I’m not going to beat my usual cavallo morto about College Park’s obsession with Italian cuisine. I might as well just string the lights up over Edgewater Drive, invite the Gambinos to winter in the bungalows next to Buddy’s on Bryn Mawr, and lead the procession on the Feast of San Gennaro in Orlando’s very own Little Italy. Afterward, I’ll pop into Turci Pasta, throw my hands up and surrender to — what else? — pasta. It’s what this neighborhood restaurant, run by Brazilians of Italian heritage Nathalia Kalil and Vinicius Turci, is known for.

Here, fresh pasta is kneaded by floured hands and crafted inside a windowed cell with all the appeal of a Law & Order interrogation room. Through that glass pane, on my last visit, we spied a hardened pastaio rolling and cutting dough before a tied-and-vested gent brought her a stainless-steel bowl of purple sweet potatoes. DUN-DUN.

Naturally, an order for purple sweet potato stuffed gnocchi ($25) was duly placed, but only

after I managed to make the white linen tablecloth look like a crime scene. The offender: a splatter of tomato-basil sauce from a suspect meatball ($10) appetizer. The five orbs veered toward the firm spectrum of meatballia. “Too springy,” said the pal, but it’s not like we banished the dish to the fringes of our soiled table either. No, the bouncy little balls were shown mercy and devoured as intended, along with shreds of rustic bread from Olde Hearth that made sopping great again.

Black truffle ravioli ($16), the pre-pasta pasta antipasti we really craved, was that moan-inducing dish that tends to turn heads in restaurants, all the more so in Turci’s alarmingly hushed space. Then again, it might’ve been the elevated decibel level of our conversations that shot glances our way. More than likely it was the subject matter of those conversations (see moan-inducing, above). The interior, it should be noted, has been completely redone to lend a bit of a fine-dining vibe that its predecessor,

Trevi Pasta, never had. It’s a space befitting the aforementioned ravioli, peppered and garlicked, and fattened with ricotta and asiago. The crowning jewels: two wee shavings of the prized spore and some crushed pistachios.

Back to those adorable gnocchi (gnocchi ripieni, really). They were set inside a metal pan pooled with a three-cheese sauce. Each of the mozz-filled purple rounds was sprinkled with breadcrumbs, grated parm and microgreens. Rich? For sure. But the muted flavors had me reaching for the Calabrian chili bottle in my mind. And some roasted garlic. And an herb, like mint, to make this alluring dish a real banger. Perhaps even a bolder cheese, like the gorgonzola that was stuffed inside the ravioli with pear and ricotta ($33). The pouches were smothered in the same three-cheese sauce and served with a whole pear poached in red wine to a velvety maroon. The Bosc sits on the other end of the plate, beached in pistachio crumbles, but the magic happens when both ravioi and pear are eaten together — don’t leave the fruit to the end like it’s dessert. Speaking of, desserts here ham it up. But a pre-dessert pappardelle lambed it up with a gorgeous shank ($25) seasoned with herbs, honey and Dijon atop thick-cut ribbons reddened with savory Italian comfort.

Turci’s rendition of tiramisu ($11) is served with a shot of espresso to be poured over the creamy treat. The ploy practically begs for influencer coverage, but I didn’t mind this “tiramisu affogato” at all. Then again, it’s rare I meet a tiramisu I don’t like. Over the summer, pinchhit reviewer Michael Murphy deemed a certain tableside tiramisu “unnecessary, like a tableside ham sandwich.” But what of Turci’s tableside cannoli ($8)? No ham sandwich, I’d say. Our gloved server adeptly piped ricotta cream with chocolate chips into the shell before dipping one end into crushed pistachios and the other in more chocolate chips. The shell itself was a bit hard, but flaked after a proper bludgeoning.

Given Turci’s carefully executed dishes, its wine list could stand to be deconstructed and curated beyond the brands available at your local supermarket. It’s likely all part of Turci’s aggressive growth plan, which includes Turci Panini next door, Turci Osteria Italiana (slated to open mid-2025 at Maitland City Centre) and Luca Turci Italian Restaurant, which has taken over the patently dreadful Braccia Ristorante in Winter Park. Each concept promises a unique take on Italian cuisine, and based on the foundation laid by Turci Pasta, I see a fair bit of boot-licking in my future.

IT’S ONLY NOISE?

Orlando’s Sourdrops channel primal 1980s U.K. indie to exhilarating effect

Orlando, rejoice: Our C86 moment has at last arrived. A few decades late, sure, but who can even count these days? Put away the overpriced reissues and stop lurking on Discogs; your Fortune Cookie Prize is right under your nose.

Quick aside: C86 was an accidentally seminal collection of shambling indie-pop guitar goodness put together by Brit music mag New Musical Express in (yes) 1986. The cassette contained rough diamonds by the likes of The Pastels, The Mighty Lemon Drops, Primal Scream and Shop Assistants. The tape became a bit of a sensation among clued-in music fans and a bunch of the bands became legends, cult and otherwise. We can’t possibly pontificate on the future importance of The Sourdrops, but this band capture that eager urgency and cloying noise of their forefathers and -mothers. This band does, however, have the feel of a supergroup of sorts, with members of Warm Frames and Eyelash coming together to justify their love for twee-pop and ramshackle

proto-indie bands of the late 1980s. The quintet are Matty Begnaud (guitar, vocals), Kate Begnaud (tambourine, vocals), Shad Perez (guitar), KC Lace (bass) and Willie Bess (stand-up drums).

The Sourdrops have become a live favorite, drawing in local music heads with the tumbling scree of their sound, all perfect pop chords and harmonies smothered in an ocean of reverb, razor-wire jangle and youthful abandon. Their 2023 release, The Most Beautiful Demos, was a delightful mess, the vocals barely audible and the sound clipping from overloaded guitars tripping over one another and rudimentary drums, but there’s a similar spirit to Jesus and Mary Chain’s Psychocandy and Beat Happening’s Jamboree.

It’s evolution time, though. This indie outfit is ready to upgrade from that distorted demo EP of fuzzed-out love letters. This week they release a full-length, Oh So Sour, of eight songs and an intro, all recorded in “an old trailer.” This is the first time we will hear Kate’s vocals, and the innocent and carefree delivery reminds one

of the wholesome “Pop Queen” by Australia’s Noise Addict and Scottish girl-groups like Strawberry Switchblade.

The Sourdrops drop the album Friday and the next day play a show that’s like a who’s who of new weird Florida: Rosary, Curleys, The Ashies, Stiff Bitches and Pamper. Time to get wide-eyed.

What was it that inspired you all to start the Sourdrops? What were you listening to that made you decide to do this?

We started The Sourdrops because we thought it would be fun to make pop music with our friends. Last year when we formed this band, we were listening to a lot of The Pastels, Tiger Trap, Henry’s Dress, Talulah Gosh and early My Bloody Valentine.

What’s the creative division of labor like in the band?

Collectively, we all add pieces to the puzzle. Most of the ideas while writing are bounced off of each other in one way or another. The recording of Oh So Sour was done in a travel trailer predominantly by Matty and Kate, not necessarily by choice but because of our busy schedules.

Locally, who do you feel creative kinship with as Sourdrops?

In our local scene there’s Über Crunch and Jumbo Jade and the Macho Men that we share a lot in common with. Also, finding out the overlap between punks and twee-heads to be quite large is cool.

Tell us about the burst of activity you have coming up Friday and Saturday. It’ll be a very busy two days for the band.

Nov. 29 is an exciting day — we’ll finally be free from nitpicking every detail of our debut album and have to live with its quirks. The 30th is gonna be a fun day playing some new and old songs alongside some of our friends’ awesome bands. It’s a good showcase of what the Florida music scene has to offer with bands from all over the state.

Is there a part of the band that’s about rejecting a very online modernity?

Yeah, I think it’s a matter of what we look up to, with a lot of our influences being from the 1980s and ’90s. Also, hand-making stuff is the way we like to do it, and it’s been done that way since the beginning. It would be cool to see more bands in Orlando release unpolished music. music@orlandoweekly.com

LOCAL RELEASES

Although pan-genre party-starters Universal Funk Orchestra have been a live presence in Orlando for years, they’re only now releasing a debut album. Yes, this brand-new eponymous album is a long time coming. And, no, they didn’t make you wait all that time for a bunch of ballads.

Universal Funk Orchestra are, by design, a motley crew with a rainbow of backgrounds that span the musical spectrum. The only obvious thing that binds them is the imperative to get funky. No surprise, then, that the music born of them is a colorful dish, a funk-rock-rap gumbo served hot and heaping. Across the 11 tracks of this new album, UFO lays down everything from digging grooves to beefy guitars to cosmic electronics. But it’s all in service of one mission: to shake asses.

Universal Funk Orchestra now streams everywhere and is available on limited-edition purple-splatter vinyl through Bandcamp. The Orlando release event this weekend will also feature CreativAngel, E-Turn, Warm Fuzzy and DJ K1X. (8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 30, Will’s Pub, $12-$15)

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

AAHZ Unity: After the recent election, a lot of feelings, teeth and possibly lives could be spared if we all just canceled Thanksgiving dinner with the family this year. Instead, just feast on the bass and vibes of the annual pre-Thanksgiving reunion of AAHZ, Orlando’s longest-running and most storied electronic dance music event. As usual, the DJ lineup is classic and legendary, featuring Kimball Collins, Icey, AK1200, Dave Cannalte, Andy Hughes and Jimmy Joslin.

North Carolina alt-country rockers American Aquarium are Americana royalty now. But their Orlando shows are special because our city was one of the first scenes that helped propel them

Make America dance again and rewind to a time and place when peace, love, unity and respect were the house rules. You’ll find more to be thankful for at this party than at the dinner table with your smug racist uncle. (8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 27, The Beacham, $35-$65)

Nick Shrubsole, Dougie Flesh and the Slashers: From breakdowns both personal and interpersonal since election day, Thanksgiving’s gonna be all sorts of uncomfortable this year. Rather than burying your resentment in turkey and stuffing, you could instead purge your soul with the proven combination of alcohol and folk punk.

Although now a local, Nick Shrubsole is the former lead singer of 2000s Canadian punk band Broadcast Zero. Solo, he translates that fire into rousing, pub-ready acoustic anthems that turn the everyday toil of life into shared catharsis. Also trying to make sense of this cruel, shitty world will

be local folk punks Dougie Flesh and the Slashers. (8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 28, Lil Indie’s, no cover)

American Aquarium: North Carolina alt-country rockers American Aquarium are Americana royalty now. But their Orlando shows are special, because our city was one of the first scenes that helped propel them. Unlike other big-name acts that tour through, there’s a deeply personal connection between this band and this city, one that goes back to their nascent days in the late 2000s.

As befits their status, American Aquarium pack out the large venues when they come to town now. But their path on the way up ran right through the small rooms of Mills Avenue, where they were regular fixtures for years. Of course, there were those incredibly up-close performances on the stages of the Peacock Room and Will’s Pub. But you’d also see them on the barstools deep into the night mixing it up with the locals. I still remember that time way early on when bandleader BJ Barham came over from the merch table and gave me their first couple of CDs to check out.

The attendance at those first shows started out small, but the heart was big. Most importantly, it was reciprocal. The passion that BJ and the band poured into their songs was beamed right back at them from the floor. So they kept coming back, the band and the fans. That’s how it happened here. Thankfully, that gospel ended up spreading everywhere else, too.

Well, the boys are back in town and I hope the Abbey’s stocked up on whiskey, because it’s gonna be a goddamn homecoming. (7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 3, The Abbey, $25) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

This week is bookended by two very timely screenings at this Maitland arthouse. First up is a Thanksgiving eve outdoor screening of John Hughes’ 1987 road movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles. The Steve Martin and John Candy holiday buddy-pic succeeds by sheer force of comedic will, over-the-top gags (“Those aren’t pillows!”) and a sweet-natured heart. Under the stars in the Enzian’s lawn is an appropriately warm (or brisk) and fuzzy setting. Tuesday (Dec. 3), on the other hand, sees a very rare screening of 1979 Malcolm McDowell-led Caligula. Themes of a deluded and depraved leader leading a fading empire rife with corruption might just prep you for January. This “Ultimate Cut” isn’t for the faint of heart or prude-adjacent, but it is a compelling reminder that absolute power corrupts absolutely. 7 p.m., Enzian Theater, 1300 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland, enzian.org, free.

The movement — a loose collective of bands that included Bikini Kill, Huggy Bear, Heavens to Betsy and Bratmobile, among others — was a fiery reclamation of femme power and bodily autonomy through the sound of wiry and gleefully rudimentary punk rock. This group art show pays homage to that early-1990s burst of tuneful anger but, more locally, also pays homage to seminal local zine Bitch Rag — always worth a retrospective.

The award-winning artist, who just this week scored five Grammy noms, is growing and maturing into a confident new voice in the country pantheon, but she’s taking it all in stride. “I’m in a period of time where this chapter is not defined by anyone else but me,” Musgraves said in a recent conversation with NPR. “And I don’t know what’s going to come next. And that’s rare for me.” What’s not rare is critical praise for Musgraves’ newest album, A Deeper Well. The New York Times hailed the record as “a study in quiet thoughtfulness rooted in gratitude,” while

WEDNESDAY–TUESDAY, NOV. 27–DEC. 3, 2024

Nashville Scene described it as “a gentle but potent LP” that “digs into spirituality, healing, death and our inherent interconnectedness.” We could probably all use some of that interconnectedness right now. Supporting Musgraves is Lord Huron, the indie rock band known for “The Night We Met,” a ballad popularized on Netflix’s Thirteen Reasons Why. Also on the bill is eclectic alt-bluegrass ensemble Nickel Creek. 6 p.m., Kia Center, 400 W. Church St., kiacenter.com, $45-$225. — Lucy Dillon

DRAWN BY KIERAN

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I invite you to get a head start on formulating your New Year’s resolutions. Jan. 1 is a good time to instigate robust new approaches to living your life, but the coming weeks will be an even better time for you Sagittarians. To get yourself in the mood, imagine you have arrived at Day Zero, Year One. Simulate the feeling of being empty and open and fertile. Imagine that nothing binds you or inhibits you. Assume that the whole world is eager to know what you want. Act as if you have nothing to prove to anyone and everything to gain by being audacious and adventurous.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There was a long period when many popular songs didn’t come to a distinct end. Instead, they faded out. The volume would gradually diminish as a catchy riff repeated over and over again. As you approach a natural climax to one of your cycles, Capricorn, I recommend that you borrow the fade-out as a metaphorical strategy. In my astrological opinion, it’s best not to finish abruptly. See if you can create a slow, artful ebb or a gradual, graceful dissolution.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When he was young, Aquarian musician and sound engineer Norio Ohga wrote a critical letter to the electronics company now known as Sony. He complained in detail about the failings of their products. Instead of being defensive, executives at the company heeded Ohga’s suggestions for improvement. They even hired him as an employee and ultimately made him president of the company at age 40. He went on to have a stellar career as an innovator. In the spirit of the Sony executives, I recommend that you seek feedback and advice from potential helpers who are the caliber of Norio Ohga. The information you gather in the coming weeks could prove to be highly beneficial.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What would your paradise look and feel like? If you could remake the world to suit your precise needs for maximum freedom, well-being and inspiration, what changes would you instigate? Now is an excellent time to ponder these possibilities, Pisces. You have more ability than usual to shape and influence the environments where you hang out. And a good way to rouse this power is to imagine your ideal conditions. Be bold and vivid. Amuse yourself with extravagant and ebullient fantasies as you envision your perfect world.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Renowned composer Mozart had a sister nicknamed Nannerl. During their childhoods, she was as much a musical prodigy as he. They toured Europe doing performances together, playing harpsichord and piano. Some critics regarded

her as the superior talent. But her parents ultimately decided it was unseemly for her, as a female, to continue her development as a genius. She was forcibly retired so she could learn housekeeping and prepare for marriage. Is there a part of your destiny, Aries, that resembles Nannerl’s? Has some of your brilliance been suppressed or denied? The coming months will be an excellent time to recover and revive it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do you know if you have any doppelgängers, Taurus? I bet you will meet one in the coming weeks. How about soul friends, alter egos or evil twins? If there’s no one like that in your life right now, they may arrive soon. And if you already know such people, I suspect your relationships will grow richer. Mirror magic and shadow vision are in the works! I’m guessing you will experience the best, most healing kind of double trouble. Substitutes and stand-ins will have useful offers and tempting alternatives. Parallel realities may come leaking through into your reality. Opportunities for symbiosis and synergy will be at an alltime high. Sounds like wild fun!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Humans have been eating a wide range of oranges since ancient times. Among the most popular type in modern times is the navel orange. It’s large, seedless, sweet, juicy and easy to peel. But it didn’t exist until the 1820s, when a genetic mutation on a single tree in Brazil spawned this new variety. Eventually, the navel became a revolutionary addition to the orange family. I foresee a metaphorically comparable development in your life during the coming months, Gemini. An odd tweak or interesting glitch could lead to a highly favorable expansion of possibilities. Be alert for it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian, you are a finalist for our “Most Resourceful and Successful Survivor of the Year” trophy. And if you take a brief trip to hell in the next two weeks, you could assure your victory. But wait! Let me be more exact: “Hell” is an incorrect terminology; I just used it for shock effect. The fact is that “hell” is a religious invention that mischaracterizes the true nature of the realm of mystery, shadows and fertile darkness. In reality, the nether regions can be quite entertaining and enriching if you cultivate righteous attitudes. And what are those attitudes? A frisky curiosity to learn truths you have been ignorant about; a brave resolve to unearth repressed feelings and hidden yearnings; and a drive to rouse spiritual epiphanies that aren’t available when you’re in the trance of everyday consciousness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In my astrological opinion, you need and deserve big doses of

fun, play, pleasure and love. Amusement and enchantment, too. As well as excitement, hilarity and delight. I trust you will schedule a series of encounters and adventures that provide you with a surplus of these necessary resources. Can you afford a new toy or two? Or a romantic getaway to a sanctuary of adoration? Or a smart gamble that will attract into your vicinity a stream of rosy luck? I suggest that you be audacious in seeking the sweet, rich feelings you require.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): December will be Home Enhancement Month for you Virgos. Get started immediately! I’ll offer tips for how to proceed and ask you to dream up your own ideas. No. 1: Phase out decor or accessories that no longer embody the style of who you have become. No. 2: Add new decor and accessories that will inspire outbreaks of domestic bliss. No. 3: Encourage everyone in your household to contribute creative ideas to generate mutual enhancement. No. 4: Do a blessing ritual that will raise the spiritual vibes. No. 5: Invite your favorite people over and ask them to shower your abode with blessings.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran songwriter and producer Kevin MacLeod has composed over 2,000 pieces of music — and given all of them away for free. That’s why his work is so widespread. It has been featured in thousands of films and millions of YouTube videos. His composition “Monkeys Spinning Monkeys” has been played on TikTok over 31 billion times. (PS: He has plenty of money, in part because so many appreciative people give him freewill donations through his Patreon page.) I propose we make him your inspirational role model in the coming weeks and months, Libra. How could you parlay your generosity and gifts into huge benefits for yourself?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to my grandmother, I have such a mellifluous voice I should have pursued a career as a newscaster or DJ on the radio. In eighth grade, my science teacher admired my work and urged me to become a professional biologist. When I attended Duke University, my religious studies professor advised me to follow his path. Over the years, many others have offered their opinions about who I should be. As much as I appreciated their suggestions, I have always trusted one authority: my muses. In the coming weeks and months, Scorpio, you may, too, receive abundant advice about your best possible path. You may be pressured to live up to others’ expectations. But I encourage you to do as I have done. Trust your inner advisors.

Horton (A559448) is one of our swap dogs. Every once in a while, in conjunction with other agencies, we swap dogs that have been struggling at our shelter for a dog at another shelter. Sometimes the change of environment and change of population helps get these dogs adopted. We swapped about four dogs with our friends at the Lake County Animal Shelter, and Horton was one of them.

He’s 8 years old, but still pretty energetic and strong. Horton is affectionate, but on his own terms. He is definitely treat-motivated, and when offered, he will snatch up treats like a piranha! He will benefit from some consistency and some light training, as he was at the Lake County Shelter for over a year, and may not remember what it was like to live in a home. And during the rest of November, all senior dogs, like Horton, will have their adoption fees waived. Let’s get Horton home for the holidays!

Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. every day except Wednesday, when it’s open 2-6 p.m. For more information, please call 407-8363111 or visit ocnetpets.com.

Meet Horton!
