» Orlando issues late-night curfew for downtown after deadly Halloween shooting
Following a deadly shooting that killed two and left at least eight others injured in downtown Orlando early Friday, the city has issued a local state of emergency and curfew for the area. The curfew began last Friday, to last through 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 8. The shooting occurred just after 1 a.m. Friday at Central Boulevard and Orange Avenue during Halloween celebrations. A 17-yearold suspect previously arrested in 2023 for grand theft was taken into custody on the scene. He’s been charged with two counts of first-degree murder with a firearm and six counts of attempted first degree murder with a firearm, OPD reported Friday afternoon. The two deceased victims of the shooting were 19 and 25 years old. The younger victim, 19-year-old Timothy Schmidt Jr., was a freshman at UCF, the Orlando Sentinel reported. Others who were shot or injured, but in stable condition, ranged in age from 18 to 39. The curfew issued by Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer requires businesses in the downtown entertainment district to end alcohol sales at midnight. The district will also remain under curfew starting at 1 a.m. through 5 a.m. daily.
» Orlando mayor Buddy Dyer’s PAC gifts campaign cash to developer-friendly Republicans
A PAC affiliated with Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, the region’s most high-profile Democrat, appears to have thrown financial support behind two Republicans who were gunning for local office, including a challenger to an incumbent Democrat. Dyer openly endorsed former Winter Park mayor and developer Steve Leary (a Republican) for the nonpartisan Orange County Commission District 5 seat, but campaign finance records also reveal a $10,000 contribution from a Dyer-linked PAC that appears to have been shuffled into a PAC affiliated with anti-abortion Republican Austin Arthur, who’s challenging incumbent Democrat Nicole Wilson for her Orange County Commission District 1 seat. Arthur did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for Dyer confirmed the mayor’s support for Leary, but did not respond to an inquiry about Dyer’s position on the District 1 race. Wilson, an environmental attorney, said she was “disappointed” by the show of support for her opponent, but admitted that she and Dyer haven’t always seen eye-to-eye on issues such as tourist development tax collection and land annexations. Both Leary and Arthur (a gym owner and marketing executive by trade) are backed by tourism and developer groups, who likely see the two candidates as allies (along with Dyer), while their opponents — Wilson and District 5 candidate Kelly Semrad — have made enemies with some of these business groups by favoring protective policies for rural lands and advocating for an expanded use of TDT funds.
» Air France to offer nonstop flights from MCO to Paris
Air France and Orlando International Airport have announced a new nonstop flight route connecting the City Beautiful with the City of Love. Running Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, the direct flights will transport travelers from MCO to Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. Three cabins — business, premium and economy — will be offered. As of summer 2025, Orlando will become Air France’s 18th U.S.-based destination; the lineup includes other notable cities such as Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City. Current schedules show flights departing from MCO at 11 p.m. and arriving in Paris at 1:30 p.m. the next day, with the next flight at 5:05 p.m. from Paris and arriving in Orlando at 8:45 p.m. the same day. Flights begin May 21, 2025, on Air France’s Airbus A350-900, which is equipped with 324 total seats.
» Florida removed more library books than any other state last year, says report
A new report from PEN America, a nonprofit advocating for freedom of expression, shows that Florida topped every state in the nation for the number of books removed from school libraries during the 2023-2024 school year. According to the annual report, Florida saw about 4,500 book removals from July 2023 to June 2024, representing nearly half of nationwide removals. Florida’s 2023 law, HB 1069, created a legal process for removing books, including a requirement that they be pulled while schools respond to challenges filed by parents or citizens. The list compiled by PEN includes books permanently removed from schools, removed pending investigation, restricted based on grade level or requiring parental permission. Thirty-three school districts in Florida removed books, according to PEN’s report, including Orange County Public Schools. During the
2024 legislative session, lawmakers passed a law limiting book challenges by residents without a child in school to one per month. A group of book publishers filed suit against the Florida Board of Education in August, claiming the book removal law is overbroad and has caused a chilling effect. Nationwide, the most banned book last year was Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. Other most commonly removed titles include Looking for Alaska by John Green (who’s scheduled to speak at Steinmetz Hall in January), The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison.
» Tech groups challenge Florida law restricting social media for kids under 16 In a long-anticipated move, two internet industry groups last week filed a constitutional challenge to a new Florida law aimed at keeping children off social-media platforms. The Computer & Communications Industry Association and NetChoice, whose members include tech giants such as Google and Meta Platforms, said in a federal lawsuit that the law violates First Amendment rights and that parents should make decisions about children’s social-media use. The law (HB 3) was a priority of House Speaker Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast, and became one of the biggest issues of the 2024 legislative session. Industry groups repeatedly signaled they would challenge the constitutionality of the law — with Renner and Attorney General Ashley Moody vowing to defend it. The law, in part, seeks to prevent children under age 16 from opening social-media accounts on some platforms, though it would allow parents to give consent for 14- and 15-year-olds to have accounts. Children under 14 could not open accounts. Renner said in March the law focuses on addictive features of the platforms and not on social-media content — an approach that he said was designed to withstand a First Amendment challenge. The law is scheduled to take effect Jan. 1. But this lawsuit, filed in the federal Northern District of Florida, said similar laws have been blocked by courts in other states.
RULES FOR THEE, NOT FOR ME
When Rick Roth, a Florida farmer and GOP state representative, fell in line with his party’s anti-immigration stance, the consequences were severe … but not for him.
BY SETH FREED WESSLER AND ZAYDEE SANCHEZ, PROPUBLICA
Rick Roth is a staunch Republican and a conservative member of the Florida Legislature, but he’s quick to point out that he’s first and foremost a farmer. Roth grows vegetables, rice and sugar cane on the thousands of acres passed down to him from his father, in Palm Beach County south of Lake Okeechobee. And because the farm relies on a
steady stream of laborers, most of them from Mexico, Roth spent substantial time over the last three decades, before and after he became a politician, trying to stop lawmakers from messing with his workforce.
A big part of that fight was against legislation that would make employers verify their workers’ immigration status. Such laws, Roth
once said, would bankrupt farmers like him.
But by 2023, when Florida was once again considering such a bill, Roth’s convictions had grown shaky. In May of that year, he sat and listened as his Democratic colleagues voiced their opposition: “This bill will tank our state’s economy by directly harming Florida’s agriculture, hospitality and construction industries,”
one of them warned. Had this debate been unfolding even a few years earlier, Roth — who has acknowledged relying heavily on labor by undocumented immigrants in the past — likely would have nodded along.
This time, he didn’t. Several minutes later, Roth, his gray hair cut short and a cross pinned to his lapel, rose from his seat on the House floor, peered through reading glasses and delivered a statement antithetical to what the 70-year-old had long stood for: “I rise in support of SB 1718,” he announced. First among his reasons, he said, was an “invasion” of immigrants at the border. He called it a “ticking time bomb.”
The bill not only required all but the smallest employers to check the legal status of any new hires against a federal database, it also ordered hospitals to ask patients about their status. The measure added new funds to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ program to transport newly arrived immigrants out of the state, while making it a felony for individuals to bring undocumented workers in. DeSantis called it
“the strongest anti-illegal-immigration legislation in the country.”
Roth knew that the legislation might hurt many farmers — not to mention landscapers and contractors and hotels and a slew of other employers in Florida. But it was good politics. Across the country, Republican politicians like himself have almost universally fallen in line with what amounts to a requirement for party membership. Even business-focused Republicans, who for many years had turned a blind eye to undocumented immigrants because they provided cheap, reliable labor, had given in to a mandate from a party whose leader has spent three presidential campaigns portraying immigration as an existential threat to the United States. In Roth’s case, the transformation from a decades-long advocate for expanding legal immigration to a Trump-style hardliner was so swift and so complete that he barely tries to explain it, other than to repeat what sound like Republican talking points about how the border has become a crisis.
The measure passed easily out of the Republican-controlled House the same day Roth stood to support it. Relieved it was over, he left Tallahassee to return to his fields outside the town of Belle Glade, where the motto is “her soil is her fortune.” He drove his Toyota Prius, a Trump 2020 sticker on the bumper, down the dirt lanes that run along his tracts of land. Birds darted around the fallow farmland. Roth felt at ease.
The calm didn’t last. Among Roth’s business owner constituents, there was a rising panic about the fate of their workers. A manager of a vegetable packing house stood by as dozens of his workers left. “We had a mass exodus here,” he later said. Undocumented immigrants and their families were loading up trucks with years of belongings and decamping to Georgia or North Carolina. “Everyone was afraid,” said a resident of a Belle Glade mobile home park. She’d watched as at least five of her neighbors, all undocumented immigrants, sold their trailers and moved. A daycare worker in the next town said several children of immigrants in her classroom were there one week, gone the next.
As workers were scrambling to protect themselves from what they saw as a coming crackdown, phone calls were flooding into Roth’s legislative office. The farmers and contractors and landscapers were complaining that this law Roth had supported was going to wreck their businesses. It was exactly the kind of fallout Roth had long warned of when he’d fought measures like the one he’d just helped to pass.
As one nursery owner who called into Roth’s office asked: “What have you done?”
to figure out how they’d deal with their own crisis. The couple, who’d grown up near each other in the small ranchos of the central Mexican state of Guanajuato, had become parents two years before. Their son, Isaac, had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and autism. Garcia’s work in a vegetable packing facility and in the corn fields around their town barely covered his son’s therapy and medication. Enriquez hadn’t worked since the baby was born, since his care took all her time.
The family lived in Cerritos, with Garcia’s parents. It wasn’t much of a town, just a cluster of homes behind a locked gate. The gate went up after a local woman was kidnapped, presumably by gang or cartel members, though no one knows for sure. Each night, after 9:30, residents communicated by group chat if someone needed to leave for an emergency, so that whoever had the key could let them out and back in.
Whenever Garcia worked overtime, which was almost always once Isaac’s medical bills stacked up, his mother would sit and wait for him to come home, even until 2 a.m. She feared for her youngest child, her only son. He was so full of promise, capable of so much with his serious disposition and vast intelligence. She worried not just about his safety, but that she hadn’t done enough for him. The best job she could find was cleaning houses, which she did for many years. Her husband was frequently out of work after a head injury he’d suffered back when Garcia was a toddler.
Since Garcia was a child, he had watched countless relatives and friends make the decision for their own families’ futures to go find work in the north. The men departed, crossing into the United States without papers. To have a home, to afford a car, to provide for a child who would struggle to walk or speak, going north was the only way.
But Garcia was clear: He would not cross the border that way. He could not risk being harmed or killed and leaving his wife and son with nothing.
Not long after the severity of Isaac’s condition came to light, Garcia began to listen more closely to other young men in the towns near his: There was a way to travel back and forth between the U.S. and Mexico for work, a way to do it that seemed safe.
The solution for Garcia was a visa program that promised to benefit both migrating workers in desperate need of livable wages and U.S. farms in desperate need of affordable labor. But in many ways, the benefits to workers have remained a gamble while for farmers they’re guaranteed.
Roth didn’t mention it on the House floor or broadcast it to his constituents, but the visa program made his farm mostly impervious to the provisions he’d rallied against in the past. As anxiety gripped communities of undocumented people and many of their employers, Roth Farms was going to be just fine.
The visa program turned out to be a lifeline for Roth. When Garcia reached for that same lifeline, it failed him.
Roth Farms dates back four generations to the late 1940s, but Rick Roth didn’t grow up thinking the family business would be his future. When he went off to Emory University in 1970 to study math, he figured he’d find himself working an office job, somewhere far from any fields.
“I thought, ‘Man, I’m too smart to be a farmer.’” But Roth said a mix of marijuana and malaise sent him off track. After he was placed on academic probation, he came home and asked his father to put him to work on the farm. To Roth’s surprise, he liked it. He was assigned easy jobs, like driving truckloads of radishes to the packing house. Though he’d often mess up basic tasks or show up late and hungover, his father’s workers knew that he could be the boss someday, and they treated him accordingly. Roth knew it, too. He also knew that if he went to work at some company, he’d start at the bottom, and there was no guarantee how far up he’d make it. Here, he had a clear path to the top.
Roth returned to Emory, finished his degree, and then came back to Roth Farms. His father gave him more responsibility, and within a few years he was overseeing harvest operations. With his crew leaders’ guidance, he’d earned his father’s respect and sensed that this might be permanent, that the farm could actually be his.
Sooner than he expected, it was. In 1984, his father had a heart attack. Two years later, he died. Roth still tears up, 40 years later, recalling his loss.
For a decade, the farm grew and prospered. Then, Roth faced his first major challenge. Back then, almost all of the farm’s workers were Black. But as the workers began aging out of farm labor, it was becoming harder to find new people to take their place. Though Roth had found reason to continue his father’s lucrative profession, he realized with some consternation that the people he employed in low-wage field jobs didn’t raise their own children to follow them: “No farmworker raises their kids to be farmworkers.”
The immigrant workers Roth hired were young, strong and plentiful, and they were willing, he has said, to work for less money than Americans. That assumption brought trouble. By the late 1990s, nearly all of his workers were Latino, and in 1999, a group of nine of them filed a class action lawsuit against Roth for racial and national origin discrimination. They alleged that they earned up to $1.50 less per hour than the small remaining Black crew of a dozen or so workers. Roth at the time denied that any wage disparities were based on race.
The two sides reached a settlement, with Roth Farms agreeing to pay $124,000 to cover the additional wages the workers alleged they were owed. Roth declined to comment on the lawsuit.
As the farm continued to benefit from a fairly steady stream of workers from Mexico, Roth became convinced that those workers should be entitled to legal status. He felt that farms like his couldn’t just keep on hiring undocumented immigrants forever, or at least they shouldn’t have to. He began making treks to Washington, D.C., to advocate for an easier path for undocumented workers to become legal ones.
The bills that would have done that didn’t pass. But Roth kept up his advocacy efforts, reiterating that U.S. citizens would never return to farm work, even with higher wages, and that without immigrant workers, the U.S. would need to begin importing more food.
In 2011, Florida lawmakers began deliberating a series of bills modeled after a recent Arizona law that would make it a crime to be undocumented in Florida, allow police to check people’s immigration status and crack down on the hiring of undocumented workers. The Arizona law, and similar ones in Alabama and Georgia, played out as anticipated. Workers left. Fields of vegetables rotted.
One of the Florida bills also would have required private employers to run all hires through E-Verify, the system for checking legal work status, and imposed fines on companies that employ undocumented immigrants. In response, Roth intensified his public opposition. Those bills failed.
When Congress later that year considered the Legal Workforce Act, including an E-Verify requirement, Roth again spoke against it, telling the Palm Beach Post: “This is a repetitive job for people who don’t speak the language. These people pick the crops for other people who have air-conditioned jobs.”
Around the time of the flurry of calls, 26-year-old Salvador Garcia Espitia and his wife, Nohemí Enriquez Fonseca, were trying
Roth is a special case, a farmer and also a politician. For him, the program has served a dual purpose. It’s ensured the success of his business by providing a steady stream of workers. And it’s made it easier for him to adopt a harsher political stance on immigration at a time when he feels his party demands it.
Other Belle Glade farms were responding to the worker shortage by hiring newly arrived Mexican immigrants. Roth Farms hired a new Latino crew leader to help bring them in. By the end of the 1990s, “half of our employees working in seasonal jobs probably were illegal,” Roth said. “Everybody knew that.”
Generations of Garcia’s family members had worked on farms, but he didn’t grow up thinking it was an inevitability. He wanted to go to college, maybe even become a doctor.

He was in high school when he met Enriquez, who was 15 at the time and a guest at his cousin’s wedding. She was struck by how serious he was, and how smart. No matter her question he had an answer.
Enriquez’s parents were strict. She liked to go out, much more than Garcia did, but she could only meet him in public with her parents in tow, at community gatherings or the annual festival celebrating the town’s patron saint. Otherwise, he could come to the family’s house.
By the time Garcia moved in with Enriquez and her parents, when she was 18 and he was 20, he’d had to give up on going to college. There was no money for that. He went to work in a local dairy, then to the fields and the vegetable packing houses.
A year after he moved in, Garcia and Enriquez married. He didn’t want to start a family too soon, though. He wanted to save up for a house of their own. They made it three years. A house was still a distant possibility, but Garcia took the pregnancy as the best news.
The baby was 6 months old when Enriquez became convinced that something wasn’t right. Isaac was not developing the way he should. She started to look for help. Eventually, she brought Isaac to a private doctor, who said the baby needed to see a neurologist.
That one appointment was nearly a week’s salary. The neurologist scheduled a scan of the child’s brain. Enriquez and Garcia cobbled together what they could, figuring that it was just enough to pay for the scan and cover the bus fare to the facility for her, Isaac and his godmother, who wanted to come along. But when they got there, the scan was more than they were expecting, and more than they had. Isaac’s godmother came up with the remainder, but they were left with no money to get home. They found a bus willing to let them pay the fare at the destination. On the way, Enriquez called a friend to meet the bus and lend her the fare.
The more stressed her husband got, the quieter he became. And in the weeks after the scan, he said very little. He was also working constantly. The neurologist had explained that Isaac had cerebral palsy, which meant he would need a speech therapist, physical therapy and a nutritionist. The rehab facility was an hour and a half away by bus. The therapy sessions cost 1,200 pesos, or about $60, every week. The most Garcia could bring home each week, working as much overtime as he could, was 2,000 pesos. Typically it was more like 1,500.
Just as they got help covering the cost of Isaac’s treatment, he was diagnosed with a second condition, autism. The new medication cost more than what they’d been spending to manage his cerebral palsy. The need for Garcia to go north was no
longer merely important. It was urgent. He turned to his wife and said: “I have to find another solution.” And that’s when the H-2A visa came up. ***
After years of lobbying against various laws, Roth began to wonder if he could do more for farmers by joining the Legislature rather than fighting it. In 2016, he announced his run for a Florida house seat.
Not long after Roth won his race, Donald Trump entered the White House. Roth wholeheartedly supported Trump, but he would soon find that the president’s immigration agenda created a new problem for his farm. “With Donald Trump, there were not a lot of illegals coming to America,” Roth acknowledged, which aligns with the low numbers of immigrants who crossed the border during much of the former president’s first year in office. “We started to have to say, ‘Well, now what are we going to do?’”
For a time, he did what he’d always done: He fought actions that would harm undocumented workers and their employers. He voted against a 2019 E-Verify bill pushed by DeSantis. But he was more quiet about his opposition, he said, refraining from the strong language he’d previously used. The bill died in committee.
It was around that time that Roth, along with his son, who’d taken over the day-to-day operations of the farm, found a fix. It was available to only a sliver of the state’s employers: an agricultural visa program called H-2A.
The program, which allows the U.S. farming industry to bring in foreign laborers on a temporary basis, had been around in some form since the 1940s. But until recently Roth had little need for it — his workers, documented and not, came back every year. Plus, he had considered the program’s requirements to pay more than the minimum wage and cover the cost of transportation from Mexico and housing in Belle Glade too expensive.
But, like many other farmers who’d struggled with labor shortages, he came around to it. The program could dependably deliver legal workers. H-2A visa certifications have increased fourfold in the last decade, and nowhere are there more of these workers than in Florida.
“H-2A,” Roth said,“was really the only choice.”
When Florida’s anti-immigration SB 1718 came around in 2023, Roth had an almost entirely H-2A workforce — which made it easier for him to support legislation that purported to push out undocumented workers. As for how to explain his change of heart to constituents: “Given the border crossing that’s going on, we did need to send a strong message,” he said. “If you’re illegal, don’t come to Florida. We’re gonna make it tough on you.” But some of his constituents couldn’t help
but get a different message: “We’re going to make it tough on your workers.” They told Roth that the law itself, not the far-away border crossings, posed the immediate threat to their livelihoods.
Eventually, the potential for the law’s harm began to sink in. Weeks after his vote for SB 1718, in the summer of 2023, Roth showed up at meetings across his district on a campaign of damage control. “I apologize to you for this bad bill,” he told a group gathered at a local church, with the help of a Spanish interpreter.
Roth made numerous statements in public and private meetings that the law is predominantly political, intended “to help a governor run for president.” He said it had been laced with “purposeful loopholes” to protect employers from too much harm. For one, it doesn’t apply to small businesses with fewer than 25 workers. But chief among the loopholes, Roth said, is that the E-Verify requirement doesn’t extend to undocumented immigrants who already have jobs. “If you like your job, keep your job,” he’s become fond of saying.
Roth admits that, even today, he may have longtime workers who are undocumented. When workers in his own packing house started asking questions about the law, he said he “instructed all my management what to say, and I just told them very clearly, ‘This new bill that you’re hearing all this talk about does not apply to workers that already have a job.’”
The full impact of SB 1718 is still not clear. Its E-Verify provisions did not take full effect until July. For some employers, it’s made life more difficult. “I can’t grow,” said Mark Baker, who owns a 40-year-old landscape and plant nursery in Delray Beach. He lamented that he can’t use the H-2A program, since his workers aren’t temporary. “I want to open another office, but I can’t because I can’t even staff the office I have.”
Despite having voted to crack down on immigrants in Florida, Roth maintains he still supports broader immigration legalization and insists it’s up to Washington to take action. He also admits he thinks such a fix is far off. What he knows for sure is that for farms like his, H-2A is working, that it incentivizes workers to come here the right way — with the assurance that worker and farmer alike will be protected.
That September 2023 morning started like so many others. Enriquez caught the bus to take Isaac to physical therapy. This time her husband came along. They stopped to eat something on the way back home, then Garcia collected the bags he had packed.
If he was nervous or frustrated or scared, he didn’t show it.
Garcia’s parents picked up the three of them
to drive Garcia to the bus station. It would be tortuous for him to be away from his family, but the consolation was that the job would only last five months. It was dusk when they got to the bus stop, and they couldn’t linger. It was unsafe to be out in the dark. They hugged him tight. “Take care of our boy,” he said.
Garcia spent the following days sorting out paperwork with a labor subcontractor who specializes in recruiting Mexicans to work on U.S. farms. He knew a little about where he was headed: Belle Glade. His wife’s aunt had immigrated to a nearby town years earlier. Once he arrived, he visited with her before settling into his barracks-style lodging near the sugar cane fields, which happened to be just a few miles from Roth’s fields. Garcia texted his wife that he would try his best to get some rest that night, since he would start work in the morning.
The following afternoon, Sept. 13, 2023, Enriquez was just getting back from taking Isaac to therapy when someone called from Florida. It was a woman from the company that had hired Garcia. Her husband was fine, the woman said. He had fainted in the fields, she explained, which was something that happened from time to time, because of heat nearing 90 degrees. But no, he couldn’t talk to her right then. He was still unconscious. The woman gave Enriquez the name of the hospital where he was recovering.
As soon as they hung up, Enriquez called her aunt, who headed to the hospital. But when she arrived, she was told that Garcia had been transferred, to Palms West Hospital in Loxahatchee.
In the hours that followed, the calls to Enriquez accelerated. Amid all the ringing and buzzing, someone arranged that night for a video call so she could see her husband. He still hadn’t woken up. She spoke softly to him, trying to hold back her panic over the cables and tubes that crisscrossed his body, including one helping him breathe.
It was very early the next morning when the hospital called again. They needed Enriquez’s permission to resuscitate her husband. The words instinctively came to her — yes, save him — and she sprang into action. She realized she would need to somehow quickly cross the border to get to her husband. It seemed as if one minute, she was handing off Isaac to her mother and the next she was 900 miles away at the border crossing at Matamoros, Garcia’s mother by her side.
The two women had to wait on the Mexican side of the bridge for several hours. As they sat outside in the middle of the night, the hospital called again. They needed Enriquez to agree to resuscitate her husband. Again she said yes.
The nurses ventured one more question. In the event of a third resuscitation, would Enriquez have the same answer? Her husband was no longer well, they said. He was suffering. Enriquez weighed the pain in her soul. No,
she said. Not a third time.
The border crossing took all day. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials had to ask so many questions to approve the two women for the humanitarian permit. Hours passed. Enriquez was aware that authorities kept trying to reach people at the hospital to confirm her husband’s condition.
Finally, the permits were approved. As the two women left the CBP building in Brownsville, Texas, an official saw them out, holding open the door. It would be the first time either woman had crossed into the United States. All the man said was, “I’m very sorry.”
Roth had heard about the death of a worker on a nearby farm. He said it was sad. He also said one of his first thoughts was one of worry, about what state or federal agencies would do in response. “It’s a big deal that somebody died,” Roth added. But “the government tends to overreact.”
In late 2023, Roth returned to Tallahassee to serve his final session in the Florida House before he termed out. He has plans to run for state Senate in 2026. Among the last bills he co-sponsored as a member of the House was one that would prevent local governments in Florida from implementing workplace heat protections.
It was introduced in reaction to a proposal in Miami-Dade County that would have required water, breaks and shade for outdoor workers. Roth had joined a chorus of business groups pushing forcefully to ban the local labor ordinance. “I’m a little bit insulted that some government bureaucrat thinks they need to help me take care of my employees,” he told a local Fox affiliate.
Roth had supported a bill four years earlier to require heat protections for student athletes, but he rejected the idea that Florida should impose protections for workers. He told ProPublica that employers don’t need state or local government to require safeguards, since employers already have every incentive to protect their workers. Given the shortage of workers across the state, he said, “do you really think they’re not taking care of their employees?”
He also pointed out that the federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration already regulates workplaces, including fining those that don’t offer heat protections. And ultimately, he said, it’s the responsibility of workers and their crew leaders to make sure they’re not putting themselves at risk. On his own farm, he said, workers know when they need to take breaks.
On March 12, 2024, days after the Florida Legislature passed the anti-heat protection bill, OSHA revealed the findings of its investigation into Garcia’s death. It determined that the Belle Glade company that hired Garcia
and other H-2A workers to local farms had failed to adequately protect workers from the heat.
“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,” the OSHA area director said in a statement. “Had McNeill Labor Management made sure its workers were given time to acclimate to working in brutally high temperatures with required rest breaks, the worker might not have suffered a fatal injury.”
For McNeill Labor Management Inc.’s failures to protect Garcia and to report his death to the government, OSHA issued the company a fine of less than $28,000.
Owner Shannon McNeill told ProPublica that his company, which employs 700 mostly H-2A workers at the height of operations, provides workers with all of the protections that safety advocates call for, including water, shade and breaks. He also said that the company is now easing new hires more slowly into full-day shifts, a practice that OSHA already recommended. But he is contesting OSHA’s determination that the company is responsible for Garcia’s death.
McNeill Labor Management had paid for Garcia’s body to be returned to Mexico and his funeral expenses. On a morning in July, before a heavy rain set in, Nohemí Enriquez left her son with her mother near the church in the town of Pueblo Nuevo and drove out of the town center to visit her husband’s grave in a small, orderly cemetery. The flowers she placed there on her last visit had become dried and shriveled. She took them from the vase and threw them away, angry at herself for not bringing fresh ones. And then she prayed. “For those I love and who loved me,” his gravestone read.
One week earlier, on July 19, Roth was in the audience as Trump spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee about “a massive invasion at our southern border that has spread misery, crime, poverty, disease and destruction to communities all across our land.” He promised to deliver on a commitment to carry out “the largest deportation operation in the history of our country.”
Roth, a party delegate from Florida, had spent the day before dancing and laughing on the floor with other delegates, as well as shedding a few tears. “It was very emotional for me when Trump came out,” he said.
Asked a week later if the mass deportations would do harm to the agricultural industry in Florida, he responded with confidence that Trump would not actually engage in an indiscriminate mass deportation program. But even if that did happen, he said, there will always be a supply of H-2A workers waiting. “We’ll figure it out,” he said. “We’ll get more.”

SLICE OF LIFE
Pizza Ponte worker allegedly fired for pro-union activity, speaking up about sexual harassment
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
More than two dozen restaurant workers at Disney World in Orlando, plus a Democratic state representative, gathered at a local union hall last Tuesday to call out a subcontractor at Disney Springs that allegedly fired a young worker of color who publicly spoke out about alleged sexual harassment by a supervisor.
She’s also become a leader in an ongoing unionization effort with the hospitality union UNITE HERE. After the 2004 merger of the Union of Needletrades, Industrial, and Textile Employees and the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees union, UNITE HERE now represents, among its many members, thousands of hotel and service workers employed by the Walt Disney Company.
“My supervisor wasn’t fired for sexual harassment, but one week after I passed out these [pro-union] flyers, I was fired for wearing an earbud,” said Julie Ruiz, a young cashier at Pizza Ponte. “I’m not going to accept this treatment. I’m going to fight for myself and the women who work at Disney Springs.”
According to Ruiz, the trouble began about two weeks ago — one week after she passed out pro-union flyers to visitors outside of the entrance of Disney Springs. The flyers shared a photo of Ruiz and her story of working as a “second-class” employee at a nonunion restaurant on Disney property.
Pizza Ponte, despite being on Disney property, is owned and operated by the Patina Restaurant Group, a third-party company subcontracted through Disney. The group, owned by hospitality company Delaware North, also operates popular eateries at Disney Springs like Morimoto Asia, Enzo’s Hideaway and The Edison.
One week after she passed out flyers, Ruiz said she was reprimanded for walking into work with an earbud in. She was asked by a supervisor to take the earbud out, and she did. She was told if she did the same thing again, she would be written up. “But instead, management didn’t wait for me to wear it again.”
Ruiz said the very next day, her restaurant manager suspended her. “They called me while I was suspended, and told me I was fired.”
UNITE HERE Local 737 and Ruiz believe she was illegally fired after speaking up about sexual harassment allegations and for becoming a public-facing union leader in her workplace.
“To be organizing with the union, I feel stronger, I feel more safe,” Ruiz shared, when she and other Disney Springs workers first announced
their union drive in April. “Before I didn’t have a voice. Now, I can raise my voice,” she said.
Under federal labor law, it is illegal for an employer to suspend, demote, discipline or fire an employee for engaging in what are known as “protected, concerted activities.” Such activities include joining, supporting or forming a union.
A violation of the law can be reported to the federal National Labor Relations Board as an “unfair labor practice” — but the process of an actual investigation and the associated hearings can often take months, if not years.
Jeremy Haicken, who serves as president of UNITE HERE Local 737, told Orlando Weekly that the union is “absolutely going to fight until Julie has her job back.”
Several employees of the Walt Disney Co., who are already unionized with UNITE HERE, also joined Ruiz that Tuesday in solidarity, calling out the Patina Restaurant Group for firing Ruiz and calling on them to hire Ruiz back.“I have the protection of a union contract, but Julie doesn’t,” said MaryOlivia Legree, an employee of Disney and a union leader who works at the Disney Polynesian Resort’s Ohana restaurant.
“I’m building a career at Disney while Julie is now jobless, but I’m not going to let the company treat Julie like this,” Legree asserted.“Every worker in the industry, whether they work at Disney or Disney Springs, deserves fair treatment. It is time for Julie to be back at work, and it’s time for a fair process to organize the union at Patina Restaurant Group.”
Patina Restaurant Group did not respond to a request for comment from Orlando Weekly on Ruiz’s firing nor the alleged sexual harasser still employed at Pizza Ponte. The group owns and operates multiple restaurants at the Disney Springs entertainment complex.
Workers at a couple of Patina’s restaurants at Epcot’s Italy Pavilion are already unionized with UNITE HERE — as are the 40,000-plus employees of the Walt Disney Company represented by a handful of different labor unions — but Patina Restaurant Group eateries at Disney Springs are non-union. In practice, this means they don’t have the same grievance process (an alternative pathway toward accountability for workplace problems) that union-represented workers do.
Ruiz, who made just $16 an hour at Pizza Ponte and is “basically homeless,” has become one leader in a movement to change that. “I take care of myself. I take care of everything. No one supports me financially,” Ruiz said, when
workers first announced an organizing drive with UNITE HERE Local 737 in April.
While Ruiz had been saving up to find an apartment of her own, the petite worker-activist currently lives in the living room of a friend’s apartment, which costs her $450 a month. Her firing has disrupted her plan to find a place of her own and her ability to save.
Low pay and lack of access to basic job benefits (like healthcare) that are afforded to their union counterparts on Disney World property were key drivers of Patina Restaurant Group workers’ initial intent to organize at Pizza Ponte, Maria & Enzo’s, Enzo’s Hideaway, The Edison and Morimoto Asia. Most guests, workers say, don’t realize they don’t actually work for Disney, and thus aren’t afforded the same pay or benefits that union-represented Disney World employees do.
Florida House Rep. Anna Eskamani, the daughter of a former Disney employee and a Democrat from Orlando who reliably demonstrates support for organized labor, thanked Ruiz last Tuesday for her bravery in speaking up.
“I’m really just here to make sure that the Patina Group knows that our workers have the support of their elected officials here in Orlando, and that they’re not standing alone,” Eskamani said at the press conference.
“As women, we’re not going to put up with this,” Eskamani continued.“This is unacceptable.” mschueler@orlandoweekly.com

MOLDING MINDS
The earthy luminosity of curving terra cotta forms shines forth in the installations of Eric André and Raheleh Filsoofi at Crealdé
BY RICHARD REEP
If Central Florida’s endless summer finds you sweating in Winter Park, dip into the cool, subdued light of the Alice and William Jenkins Gallery at Crealdé School of Art. In just a few minutes’ respite from the hot November sun, you might have found a momentary utopia. Right now the gallery hosts ceramic artists Eric André and Raheleh Filsoofi, both exhibiting recent work that begins with ceramics as a common medium. André is currently visiting professor of studio art at Hope College in Michigan, and has taught workshops at Crealdé. Filsoofi is assistant professor of ceramics at Vanderbilt University and this is her first exhibit at Crealdé.
The earthy luminosity of curving terra cotta forms shines forth in both artists’ large installations. André’s “Untitled (Behind the Veil — What
If?)” sets the pots on the floor under a wooden structure resembling a skateboard ramp, the surface lined with glittering sheet copper. Look closer and this upward curve is laced with chains encircling each pot’s neck. Andre also displays a gorgeous 5-foot drum of lustrous black, sporting two prizefighter gloves.
In “The Inh(a/i)bited Space,” Filsoofi placed her terra cotta vases, about 29 of them, inverted on a large table as an installation. Each one’s wired with a speaker controlled from below, the wires and circuit boards deliberately disturbing the vessel skyline. In contrast to André’s placement on the floor, these hover above, emanating traffic sounds and xenophobic ranting on a tape loop.
If your utopia isn’t just a little shattered by the chained vessels, the shouting vessels do the trick.
Anyone new to America and trying to navigate through what one artist describes as “an endless cycle of fear, anxiety, anger and frustration” will feel right at home. And you might have thought it was just you feeling anxious and on guard. No utopia here.
Art that can give the viewer a different perspective is extremely rare these days. This exhibit, sparingly curated and minimalist in its materials, relies on powerful symbolism that sinks in the longer the viewer stays.
A somewhat gentler, but still startling experience, lies in wait at Eric André’s installation in Crealdé’s gallery at Hannibal Square. A large airport-type scanner shaped like Africa, titled “Untitled (Void)” beckons you to enter. When you stand inside it, André has timed the interior LED

system to build up just a little anxiety, like you feel when being scanned at the airport. I enter and the light turns green — I’m good to go. Nine-year-old Hanna, behind me, isn’t so lucky. “Why’d it turn red on me?” she asks her father. Art imitates life. Upstairs, André hung ceramic boxing gloves from the ceiling, another reference to the challenges immigrants can have with wayfinding in America’s current belligerent phase. André’s “Untitled (Erasing)” is also here, a ceramic globe held by disembodied hands busy erasing some borders. We’re probably not quite ready for that step yet, but we could start visualizing it now. arts@orlandoweekly.com

‘The more we honor communication, whatever its form, the more we entice engagement’: Advice from a discussion around CFVA’s The Light in the Piazza that applies equally to neurodivergent friends or politically radicalized family members
By the time this installment of Live Active Cultures comes out, the chaotic presidential campaign season will have finally come to a conclusion, and regardless of the eventual outcome it’s likely that nearly half the electorate will consider the winning candidate and their supporters to be intellectually inferior and/or developmentally defective. Since politicians and pundits of both parties have proven pathetically inept at prompting us to reach beyond our self-selected silos, perhaps the arts can illuminate a path toward communication between people standing on opposite ends of a spectrum.
At least, that was the dim spark of hope I walked away with from the Winter Park Library last week, after I followed up my early voting visit with a presentation downstairs in the Edyth Bush Theater from Central Florida Vocal Arts (centralfloridavocalarts.org) previewing their production of The Light in the Piazza at The Plaza Live Nov. 15-16.
Adapted by Craig Lucas from Elizabeth Spencer’s 1960 novella (which also inspired the 1962 movie), Piazza stars Elina Moon as Ciara Johnson, an American tourist in Italy whose traumatic brain injury has forever frozen her at age 12. Composer Adam Guettel won a 2005 Tony award for its operatic score, which makes it an obvious addition to CFVA’s repertoire.
Moon, whose siblings Anneliese and Clarissa are also performers, was working on a cruise ship when she was cast in the role.
Moon said during the event,“I do have a background in opera and musical theater, which is part of what drew me to this piece, because no other musical I think has so much Italian in it. It’s so unique, and the story is just so lovely; it’s a
piece I’ve been wanting to do for about 10 years.”
But Ciara’s conflict with her too-protective mother (Amy Sue Hardy) over her romance with Italian paramour Fabrizio (Edwin Perez) also raises important issues involving neurodiversity, which were addressed in the fascinating talk called “Illuminating the Mind: Exploring Brain Injury through The Light in the Piazza.”CFVA executive director Theresa Smith-Levin moderated the discussion with AdventHealth experts Rich Abante Moats, an art and music therapist, and Jennifer Campbell, a speech pathologist, accompanied by excerpts from the show performed by members of the cast. Songs such as “Statues and Stories,” “Hysteria” and “Say It Somehow” were used to illustrate communication differences like echolalia (repetition of words and phrases) and impulsivity through their dissonant,“jumpy” musical construction, while their lyrical themes invited questions about agency and autonomy. All were addressed during the informative talk and concluding Q&A.
“First and foremost, there’s beauty in what we might think might be chaotic or erratic,” said
Moats in response to a recital of “The Beauty Is” by Moon. “Who has looked at a parent and a child with a disability and pitied them, instead of celebrating the beauty that is in each individual? … When you’ve interacted with an autistic person or a person with a neurological disorder, and it’s hard to communicate with them, maybe you don’t understand them. But from their perspective, they’re expressing all of their thoughts and feelings.”
“That’s a very important lesson for all of us, because when there’s verbal communication breakdown, what do we utilize? Body language, facial expression, people’s energy. So the energy and the expression and the faces — the looks that we give people — sometimes that’s all they can sense from us,” added Campbell.
“Communicating is so much more than our words, you know. We can show kindness and understanding and empathy through so many other ways than our words: our eye contact with somebody, our smile … a tap on the arm, just saying, ‘I hear you. I understand you.’”
In a statement, director Ayòfémi Demps (who helmed Theater West End’s recent Rocky Horror Show and Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill) said, “I’m most excited to delve into the fascinating levels of Clara’s mind. She makes audiences question their assumptions where neurodivergence is concerned, and sometimes her ability to challenge makes others uncomfortable. There is a tendency to infantilize women, women with negatively perceived exceptionalities, and neurodivergent women. So Clara’s arc, and her mother’s arc as caretaker, are so important.”
I’ll leave the last word to Smith-Levin, whose emotional advice about celebrating differences could apply equally to interacting with an autistic toddler or your politically radicalized uncle: “The more we honor communication, whatever its form is, the more we entice more engagement,” said Smith-Levin. “Instead of trying to make people fit into a narrow path that feels comfortable for us, meet people exactly where they are, and honor the fact that they are engaging and communicating and expressing. And then we have a responsibility to try and make meaning out of that.”

FUN SEOUL BROTH-ER
Pocha 93’s “army stew,” Korean street food staples and lively decor are worth checking out now
BY FAIYAZ KARA
Shin Jung owner Michael Lee was just a wee lad in the ’90s when he traversed the multisensory extravaganza of Seoul’s Jeongseon Market teeming with vendors, hawkers and, most notably, bustling food stalls. “I remember holding my grandmother’s hand when I saw the market for the first time. On one side, people made steamed dumplings; on the other, they made beef stews and noodles, drank Korean rice wines, laughed and smiled. It captured my complete attention. The lighting, taste, smell, vibrant atmosphere and all the different small kiosks left an indelible impression on me.”
So much so that some 30-odd years later, Lee re-created the memory by launching Pocha 93, “the first restaurant in the city based on a
street in 1990s South Korea.” That’s a pretty niche theme for an Orlando restaurant, but the manner in which it’s accoutered will certainly draw comparisons to Japanese restos Juju in Colonialtown or Susuru on Palm Parkway. The mass of Korean paraphernalia decorating the Hiawassee restaurant, particularly a restaurant of this size (it was once an Orlando Ale House), is impressive. As is Boy Kong’s trippy mural — a psychedelic “Last Supper” with a couple of anxious-looking toads, a greedy tiger and an angry magpie amid a table of grilled LA galbi and banchan.
The toads are reminiscent of soju producer Jinro’s mascot and, crooooooak, soju was had. This is a Korean pub, after all, and drinking is
POCHA 93
7379 W. Colonial Drive

practically a pre-condition of dining here. We were even spurred on by our lively server. “I love to drink!” she proclaimed, and it didn’t take much for us to fall in line. And soaking up all the beer and cocktails? Why, plates of pocha-style pub grub, of course.
Pocha is a contraction of pojangmacha, a catch-all term for covered food stalls and food carts specializing in street fare in South Korea. And there’s nothing more street than army stew ($25) — a blistering broth with an interesting backstory. During the Korean War, Koreans relied on the generosity of American troops and so a soup of instant noodles, kimchi, tofu and gochujang saw baked beans, American cheese, sausage and Spam added to the mix to create a true fusion staple. As the stew gurgled on our table, more dishes entered the fray — a deopbap of pan-fried kimchi and pork served over rice ($8), and a fluffy, custardy gyeran-jjim soufflé ($6). Both amped up Pocha’s street cred in our collective opinions.
And the protein-packed punches didn’t stop there. Maekjeok ($11), succulent pork belly wet aged in soybean paste and a soy-honey marinade, then topped with a mess of spicy strips of sesame-flecked dry radishes, was an instant favorite. We happily stomached the belly with sides of bean sprouts and gossamer rounds of pickled radish. The sweet heat of sticky Korean fried chicken ($11) made it a pleasure to gnaw the bones down to their finger-licking conclusion in a manner of minutes, while the swai katsu, a fall menu offering of panko-fried swai fish ($15) slathered in tartar sauce and served with an apple slaw, is a dish deserving of all-season status.
But when you hear, then smell, the sizzle of beef on a tabletop grill, it’s hard to resist a bit of DIY meat play. And Pocha 93 — the “93,” BTW, refers to the year when Shin Jung was established in Mills 50 — offers some quality Angus cuts of hanger steak ($12 for 4 ounces) and LA galbi short ribs ($14 for 8 ounces). We seared them in beef tallow, scissored them into bite-sized pieces, then stuffed them into perilla and romaine lettuce leaves coated with soybean paste. Lee says that wagyu beef omakases are in the offing, but I’m secretly hoping he can get his hands on some prized (and rare) Hanwoo beef from South Korea. That said, he’s not about to go all highbrow with his pub.
“I want to do more traditional dishes,” he says.“Fishcake skewers, bloody sausage, offal — not just trendy stuff.” Lee says he’s also planning karaoke nights, which is fine by me. I don’t mind singing Pocha 93’s praises.

But the new Hideaway Bar at 523 Virginia Drive has opened and, though you may not recognize it from the exterior, it’s still a fave hang for Miami Dolphins fans … The Bayou Kitchen & Lounge will open a second location in the former home of Zorba’s Greek Restaurant at 115 E. First St. in Sanford. No opening date has been announced … More details have emerged about the Eola Food Hall we told you about in July.

PLAYING TO THE NOSEBLEEDS
Genre-transcending MisterWives returns to Orlando this week
BY LUCY DILLON
MisterWives has done this song and dance a thousand times in a thousand different ways — and they still love it.
Throughout a decade spent in an ever-changing music industry, the genre-transcending quintet of vocalist Mandy Lee, bassist Will Hehir, drummer Etienne Bowler, saxophonist Mike Murphy and guitarist Marc Campbell have stayed true to their creative vision and music-first mindset. With the 2023 release of Nosebleeds, MisterWives’ fourth studio album, the group delivered their most definitive statement yet: a suite of emotionally charged tracks that resonate widely with audiences.
“We’ve always been told we’re too alternative for pop radio or too pop for alternative radio,” Bowler tells Orlando Weekly. “We weren’t trying to fit into a certain style, per se. We weren’t writing for anyone but ourselves.”
From their initial Spotify Sessions released in 2014 — when Tumblr and lace chokers ruled the world — to the mature sounds of Nosebleeds,
MisterWives has kept listeners hooked. And when it comes to keeping a band of changing individuals going for more than a decade, this group knows a thing or two. They pay attention to the bottom line, true, but not at the expense of their love for music.
“The music industry, like any industry that attempts to monetize an art form, will always be interesting,” Hehir says. “There will always be people who look at it from a strictly business side, and then people who look at it from a strictly artistic side. We’ve had the same manager throughout our entire career, and he’s been tremendous in supporting us and finding opportunities that fit us as a band.”
Just as people change, industries and business models change. Though MisterWives have taken the stage in the City Beautiful before, Thursday’s performance features a new-look MisterWives — navigating a new type of music industry.
“When we started the band, we started as people whose job it was to make music and then
go tour,” Bowler says.“Now, 10 years later, our job is to be content creators on TikTok.” Bowler and Hehir do recognize the importance of following social media’s infamous algorithms to get their art noticed, admitting it has revolutionized the game in a balance of good and bad ways.
“You don’t have to go to a record label to be like, ‘I want to make music that people can hear,’ because people can do that right from their own individual platforms,” Hehir says.
On the flipside of this music biz circa 2024, you must lean in on capturing an audience’s attention in a few seconds or less, he added.
The band, specifically vocalist Lee, whom Bowler and Hehir agree is more social media-savvy than her bandmates, has worked on figuring out ways to promote their music via social media while maintaining the “integrity of the art,” as Hehir says. Even in a social media-forward atmosphere, the band say they’re fortunate to work with creative minds behind the scenes who present their art as is. “Inevitably, if you’re not putting the music first, you’re going to feel completely unfulfilled because you’re sacrificing one for the other, right?” Hehir says.
Regardless of the way the world changed over the last decade [quite a bit, by any metric!], MisterWives kept writing and producing songs that bite in different ways. Love? Anger? A bad breakup? Vague ennui? There’s a MisterWives song for that. And that’s down to the band’s genuine and enduring love for making their music and singing their lives, both on record and on stage.
“I think what we’ve always really said is once the show stops being fun or when you have to

put on a front while you’re playing a show, that’s probably when it’s like,‘Oh, this isn’t working for us anymore,’” Hehir says.
“It doesn’t really matter what you’re going through; for that hour and a half, you’re enjoying every single second of it. As a band we’ve gotten along for 10 years, and there have been highs and lows and ups and downs, but you play a show like it’s the last fucking time you’re ever going to be doing it.”
So, what’s next for the restless quintet? Bowler and Hehir say after writing and touring for a decade, it might be a good time for a break.
Following Thursday night’s stop at the Plaza Live, the band will hit Jannus Live in St. Petersburg, then the Holiday From Real cruise that sails out of Miami and returns Nov. 13. The band hinted these stops may be the last for a while.
“We don’t really have a concrete plan of what’s to come next,” Bowler says.“I think we’ll still play some shows, but we’re going to take some time before jumping into the next record.”

LOCAL RELEASES
Maybe you’ve seen Central Florida singer-songwriter Lexi Long, or maybe not. But the odds favor the latter. Although distinctly promising, her time in the Orlando music scene was both underground and fleeting.
While in college at UCF in the late 2010s, Long made some noteworthy local appearances at concerts by Orlando indie promoter Ugly Orange. That may not be much of a footprint but her stirring, virtuosic performances nonetheless impressed.
Ever since graduating in 2019 and moving back to her hometown on the Space Coast, however, her music has practically gone silent. Then, from total obscurity, Long suddenly reemerged recently with a debut full-length album titled Sunswept. Now, she returns this weekend for an Orlando album release show.
Lexi Long is a folkie. While legions of generic acoustic dilettantes have also been called this, she is not one of them. Long has always had an interestingly indie bent, and on her new 10-song album, that character has ripened considerably in her time away. The twee folk of her youth has now blossomed into a sound more crafted, nuanced and resonant. Traditional threads like banjo and steel guitar play alongside Long’s effervescent alt-pop melodicism to weave a breezy aura that’s simultaneously familiar and fresh.
Years ago when she first came on the scene, Long’s style already had a level of skill and artistry remarkable for a young self-taught musician. On Sunswept, that aptitude’s still on display — she commands most of the instruments herein, including guitar, six-string banjo, keyboard, harmonica and stylophone.
Long’s singing also returns with more sophistication. Although her voice still moves like a lithe zephyr, it now carries a calm gravity that can make
Lexi Long is a folkie. While legions of generic acoustic dilettantes have also been called this, she is not one of them. Long has always had an interestingly indie bent and on her new 10-song album, her sound is crafted, nuanced and resonant
her radiate like a whimsical Karen Carpenter. It’s a balance of agility and grace that’s the best showcase of Long’s vocal prowess to date.
Even when you consider the years that’ve gone into it, Sunswept is still an astonishing debut album. It’s both a return and a reminder of a native talent that’s overlooked but shouldn’t be. Sunswept is a Bandcamp-only release that’s also available on vinyl.
This weekend, Long will do a full-band Orlando release show with talented Orlando openers Zoya Zafar and Janet LaVigne (8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9, Bynx, $15).
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Jonas Van den Bossche, Hesitant Waitress: As an unpredictable artist who’s as capable of pastoral post-rock as he is wild improvised noise, any Jonas Van den Bossche
show can be a surprise. But the bigger one on this bill is the very rare appearance of Hesitant Waitress, the solo indie-pop vehicle of reclusive but talented local artist Emma Jean Branch. Although introductory and few, her Hesitant Waitress releases pack serious potential with songs that work gorgeous melodies, mood and textures into an alluring dream.
Some exciting news is that Branch is currently in the thick of making Hesitant Waitress’ debut full-length album with co-producer Sean Moore, an immensely talented Orlando veteran who sprang from the fertile Post Records indie scene of the 2000s. This could at long last mean the impending emergence of Hesitant Waitress. It could start with this very show. (9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8, The Nook, donations suggested)
Rock N’ Roe 3: In a perfectly just world, this kind of concert wouldn’t be needed. But this is America in 2024, a systematic war against women’s bodily sovereignty has been raging and we’re fighting from behind. That’s why the local Rock N’ Roe concerts for reproductive rights have become a running series and still remain necessary.
This latest one rocks and rallies to support S.W.A.N. of Central Florida, the local group of intrepid volunteer escorts who serve to protect clinic patients from the harassment and intimidation of hostile abortion protesters who care more about the idea of potential life than the plight of the actual living. Performing in support and solidarity will be local bands Default Friends, Paperback Romance, Earf Day, Stiletto, Holly Pocket and Preying Mantease. The best, most impactful way to begin changing the world is to start local, and everyone involved here is doing just that. Join them. (7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13, Will’s Pub, $10-$15 donation) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Soft Kill
THURSDAY, NOV. 7
Despite music that often plumbs harrowing depths that would give cultural tourists and pretenders pause, Soft Kill circa the year of our lord 2024 is at heart a feel-good story. After hitting the absolute outer boundaries of self-destruction in the early 2000s — and yet still somehow creating albums of timeless beauty like An Open Door and Circle of Trees (to say nothing of Blessure Grave!) — Tobias Grave is now having the time of his life. He’s clean and sober and a family man, living in Chicago where his band just released potent new EP Roseland and their latest innovative merch drop that includes a hoodie with a subtle nod towards the Peanuts Halloween special. The live incarnation of Soft Kill has been drastically revamped to focus on the tandem of Grave and Nicole Colbath (electronics) — and sounds great. Soft Kill are on a Florida run with hardcore gloomers Sikm and we humbly suggest you make it to one of these gigs to bask in the good-bad vibes. 8 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, $20-$25. — Matthew Moyer
THURSDAY, NOV. 7
Tony Hawk
Tony Hawk is shredding his way into Orlando this week — not for a skateboarding event, but for a day at the museum. Orlando Museum of Art is currently hosting Push, the first major museum exhibition of J. Grant Brittain’s seminal 1980s skateboarding photography. Brittain’s photos chronicled the career of Hawk from a teenager finding his footing to full flight as an adult changing the game. Several of these photos are prominently displayed in Push — including two identical shots of Hawk crouched in a dank pipe, but one as a pre-teen and one as a skateboarding icon. Now life imitates art (on the wall), because Hawk will come to Orlando to participate in a “town hall” with Brittain at OMA, where the
two will shoot the shit onstage about “their 40 years of friendship and collaboration.” Brittain’s storytelling is top-notch and his memory is sharp, as evidenced as his recent standing-room only solo talk at OMA, and we’re betting Hawk is no slouch either. The town hall is paired with a very exclusive meet-and-greet and signing situation beforehand. “Tony’s influence has shaped a generation and I’ve had the honor of watching him from behind the lens over the years,” said Brittain in a press statement. Skate and live. 7 p.m., Orlando Museum of Art, 2416 N. Mills Ave., omart. org, $100-$275. — MM
FRIDAY, NOV. 8
Preacher Lawson
Come Friday, Orlandoans might just need a laugh (or 200), so thank god for prodigal son Preacher Lawson. Lawson headlines a rare and big-time homecoming show Friday night in the Milk District. Lawson’s “Funny as Bleep” tour is taking him on a Southern swing before some intensive late-November gigging in Canada. (Which should be, uh … bracing for a Floridian.) He’s a clean comedian, yes, but still wickedly funny, with millions of TikTok views and hundreds of thousands of YouTube subscribers waiting to see what he says next. Lawson is playing the Plaza Live but he honed his storytelling chops at the nearby Bull & Bush, which makes this gig just a little more meaningful. But then we’re just preaching to the choir, aren’t we? 7 p.m., The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave., plazaliveorlando. org, $24-$67. — MM
FRIDAY, NOV. 8
“Seventeen”
After the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, composer Ron Ramin and theater producer Portia Kamons felt called to create something that could “soothe
Thursday: Tony Hawk and J. Grant Brittain at Orlando Museum of Art
America’s collective grief.” But as Kamons began interviewing young Americans, what she heard went beyond concerns with gun violence — the 17 teens whose words form the framework of the piece talked about climate change, mental health care, LGBTQ+ safety and racial equality, and they did so with a level of astute insight about the world they’re inheriting (and a dark humor) that surprised her and Ramin. Activist Jamie Bernstein (daughter of Leonard) leads the young narrators who will speak the interviewees’ words verbatim, and Orlando Philharmonic music director Eric Jacobsen conducts. Kamons says, “This is not a piece about gun violence. It’s a celebration of how to be a citizen.” Will the performance be valedictory or jubilant? At press time — Monday, Nov. 4 — we simply can’t predict. 6:40 p.m., Steinmetz Hall, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, free, RSVP required. — Jessica Bryce Young

Electric Daisy Carnival
It’s time for “24 Hour Party People: Orlando Edition” once again, as Electric Daisy Carnival takes over downtown Orlando. This year’s fest features an eye-popping 100-plus performers, including Diplo, Kaskade, Tiësto, Alison Wonderland, Illenium, Benny Benassi, Dimitri Vegas, Steve Aoki, Carl Cox, Layla Benitez, Lost Frequencies, Odd Mob, Troyboi and Zeds Dead. The performers will be sprawled over four stages: kineticFIELD, circuitGROUNDS, neonGARDEN and stereoBLOOM. Additionally, the Rynobus Art Car will give a daylong spotlight to Orlando’s infamous and historically crucial Florida Breaks sound. In many ways, though, the audience is every bit as flamboyant and performative as the musicians and production, and will be strutting their stuff in style. Don’t sleep — no one else there will be.

Maker Faire
If you’re ready to see what our local DIY bigbrains have been up to for the past year, check out this weekend’s returning Maker Faire at the Fairgrounds. Spotlighting area worthies in the realms of “science, art, rockets, robots, crafts, technology, cosplay, music and hands-on activities,” this is definitely one for the whole family, as the Faire attempts to make science and tech accessible and engaging for all. There will be approximately 250 makers on site, so sport some comfy shoes because you probably want to peep them all. (Food options are available, so there will be sustenance.) Don’t miss out on Robot Ruckus, where locals pit their lovingly created robots against one another for perversely satisfying smash-’em-ups. You can’t have a maker omelet without breaking a few robotic eggs, as Philip K. Dick once said. (He did not.) 10 a.m., Central Florida Fairgrounds, 4603 W.

Not even a hurricane can keep Knocked Loose from opening up this pit in Orlando — so let’s try it again. Kentucky’s tastiest export since the Colonel’s chicken headline a hardcore haven for Central Florida punks and metal lovers this week. Their tight arrangements have revitalized metalcore, with both critics and the music community gathering in gradually larger numbers (and mosh pits) since their 2016 album, Laugh Tracks Orange County online sensations The Garden bring a more experimental feast for concertgoers’ eyes and ears. Twin brothers Fletcher and Wyatt Shears have cultivated their own fierce fanbase by cooking up sounds they uniquely describe as “Vada Vada.” Additionally, up-andcoming rockers Drain and Militarie Gun are living
