¶ JD Vance’s anger toward educators is bad for families
JD Vance’s angry, hurtful comments that teachers who don’t have children “disorient and really disturb” him are consistent with his long history of attacking families and public schools.
Teachers, teacher aides, paraprofessionals, school nurses, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, janitors, librarians, social workers, counselors and dozens of other essential school employees work every day to help kids learn and grow. So often they pay for supplies for children out of their own pockets to make sure they have what they need.
Vance doesn’t seem to understand that being an effective educator and not having biological kids are completely unrelated. I support our educators because they support our kids, and it’s upsetting that Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have such anger and disdain for people who do not share their views.
Enough is enough. We have more in common than what divides us, and that’s why I am excited for the hopeful vision Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have for our families and the future of our great nation.

¶ The Supreme Court and Florida’s social media laws: An excellent decision
Do we consider Facebook, X, Instagram and TikTok newspapers? Editorial mediums? Freespeech platforms? Public space?
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody and the opposing counsel, NetChoice LLC, argued this question last month. Moody defended Florida laws that protected conservative speech online, and upon being challenged in the court, failed to win over the justices in a heated litigation. These laws would prohibit social media companies from removing some conservative posts, and under Florida statutes, reduce “censorship.”
To understand this case we must understand how social media companies filter their content: “Third parties,” or anyone who uses social media apps, make content in the form of online posts. These posts are sometimes restricted if the company agrees it’s harmful to other users or unfit for the “content stream.”As summarized by Oyez.com, “[social media companies] curate and edit the content that users see, which involves removing posts that violate community standards and prioritizing posts based on various factors.”
NetChoice summarized their argument simply: “Content moderation should be understood as an expressive editorial activity afforded stringent First Amendment protection.”In removing “overly conservative” posts, social media companies are either, according to Moody, censoring free speech, or according to NetChoice, expressing free speech, and it all depends on what they are. If they were private companies, which is what the court decided, they are entitled to the same First Amendment rights as you and I.
Lawrence Lessig of Harvard, Tim Wu of Columbia, and Zephyr Teachout of Fordham don’t think so. They argued “[Facebook, Twitter,
[ your words ]
Instagram, and TikTok] are not space-limited publications dependent on editorial discretion in choosing what topics or issues to highlight. Rather, they are platforms for widespread public expression and discourse. They are their own beast, but they are far closer to a public shopping center or a railroad.”
This comes as shocking: These professors are liberal, so naturally, they would be opposed to laws protecting conservatism. But they see social media companies as more than private: They see them as vehicles in need of government intervention to protect the common good. This is how this case crosses ideological lines.
For three reasons, I affirm the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision to prohibit government intervention in private companies.
First, the role of the Supreme Court is to interpret the Constitution. This case considered Florida’s First Amendment protections. They ruled, however, that government intervention in a private company — no matter how big — is unwarranted. Florida, in attempting to protect the rights of conservatives, sacrificed the rights of others, sacrificed the rights of private companies that should have the ability to moderate their platform without intervention from the federal government. I completely and wholeheartedly agree with this stance — preserving the distinction between private and administrative spheres is necessary for a functioning democracy.
Second, without considering precedent, let us dive into politics. An inherent contradiction arises, almost a legal cognitive dissonance, on the conservative side in this case. They want to protect the First Amendment by eroding it. They want to limit government intervention, as traditional conservatives do, by increasing it. Proponents of private entities want to erode the notion of what it means to be private, going against the foundation of their ideology.
Finally, we ask the question: How big is too big a company? At what point does a social media company have too much influence? At what point does a social media company deserve First Amendment restriction? How is it fair that some private companies, started by private citizens, have to worry about First Amendment infringement?
These questions can’t be answered. They simply establish the idea that there could never be a point at which the courts could restrict a private entity. An argument could always be made that a corporation is overly biased in content moderation. Similarly, an argument could always be made that the influence of “X” company is not enough to levy government restrictions. In this way, a numerical measure like a certain level of earnings of a private business or an amount of content deemed “biased”could never be made to place government restrictions in the private sector. Similarly, what we deem “conservative” — thus needing government protection from “biased” removal — is arbitrary.
The Supreme Court issued the right decision, and the lower courts will follow their lead. We must savor the moments to praise the court, and this is one of them.

Florida abandoned workplace safety for public employees and went after their unions instead, fired state parks whistleblower sees burgeoning GoFundMe, and other news you may have missed.
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER, THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA, AND THE FLORIDA PHOENIX
» Starbucks workers in Orlando seek to unionize
Baristas at the Vistana Centre Starbucks location in Orlando have filed a petition with the federal labor board in a bid to join labor union Starbucks Workers United. They join a growing movement of Starbucks workers across nearly 500 stores in the U.S. (including locations in Tampa, Clearwater and Oviedo) that have already voted to unionize. Workers at the Orlando location told Orlando Weekly their motivations for unionizing include a desire to address issues such as unstable schedules, pay, and alleged instances of racist and anti-LGBTQ comments from store management. These are all issues that the Starbucks Workers United union is already trying to address in ongoing contract talks with the coffee giant. “I want to make sure that the people who are creating a hostile environment are worked to be retrained, instead of just being ignored or pushed aside,” barista Lakota Stewart told us. Barista Yomna Abdellatif added, “Every time I read an article, even the ones locally, with the location in Oviedo and recently with Tampa and Clearwater, those stories really are empowering. Just listening to them and hearing that these partners had the bravery to stand up for themselves really inspired me, personally.”
» GoFundMe for whistleblower fired after leaking DeSantis’ state parks plan gets over $200K
More than $200,000 poured into a GoFundMe this week for a former Florida Department of Environmental Protection employee who was fired because he released information about a proposal to add golf courses and resort-style lodges at state parks. The GoFundMe was set up by fired whistleblower James Gaddis, a single father who worked for the state for 12 years. Gaddis worked the past two years as a cartographer, mapping Florida’s mosaic of conservation lands, especially state parks, at an annual salary of $49,346. Gaddis, who set a goal of raising $10,000, wrote on his GoFundMe page he knew “sounding the alarm was a risky move,” but that in making the plans public, “I saw myself as a public servant first and felt that it was the only ethical thing to do.” Gaddis initially shared documents about the department’s “Great Outdoors Initiative” with the Tampa Bay Times. He told the newspaper his decision to release the plans stemmed from the rushed secrecy of the proposal and potential environmental destruction. The plans, which drew cross-partisan opposition, included a pitch for new golf courses at Jonathan Dickinson State Park in Martin County and lodges of up to 350 rooms at Anastasia State Park in St. Johns County and Topsail Hill Preserve State Park in Walton County.
» State health agency targets Florida abortion rights amendment
The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration launched a webpage last week bashing the proposed state constitutional amendment to restore abortion access beyond six weeks, prompting Florida Democrats to call out the use of state funds against the measure. The agency’s secretary, Jason Weida, wrote on social media platform X that the page is meant to “combat lies and disinformation surrounding Florida’s abortion laws.” However, the page states that the proposed amendment, which will appear on the ballot as Amendment 4, “threatens to expose women and children to health risks.” Florida Democrats responded that the webpage violates Florida statutes barring state employees from using their authority to interfere with an election. “This anti-Amendment 4 website from AHCA is bullshit. Ron and his buddies know they’re losing, and they’re willing to do anything — including breaking the law — to rig the results in their favor,” Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried wrote in a statement. “Using state agency resources for campaign purposes is illegal, and we’re looking into any and all recourses to take this website down,” she added.
» Florida abandoned workplace safety for public employees, went after their unions instead
Many eyes have been on a proposed rule from the Biden administration that would require employers to provide basic heat protections for their workers once temperatures surpass 80 degrees (e.g. access to drinking water). The rule would be implemented and enforced by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Under a federal loophole that’s been in place since OSHA first came to be, however, state and municipal employees in Florida (and about half of all other U.S. states) aren’t covered by federal OSHA rules, which include a broad range of workplace health and safety regulations. States can voluntarily opt these public
employees into OSHA coverage — but Florida has not, thus leaving them with fewer workplace protections. Florida’s GOP flirted with the idea of creating a state OSHA plan (which would require covering public employees) in 2021, but that idea has seemingly been abandoned. The proposal was motivated at the time by Gov. DeSantis’ opposition to a proposed COVID-19 vaccine mandate from OSHA that was later struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court. In lieu of OSHA protection, labor unions can also advocate for workplace safety rules in union contracts for public employees, but due to new regulations for unions enacted in 2023, tens of thousands of public employees have recently lost their union representation and union contracts.
» Forecasters ease storm predictions for 2024 hurricane season
The meteorology company AccuWeather last week scaled back its forecast for this year’s hurricane season after the Atlantic Ocean was relatively quiet over the Labor Day weekend and had “limited” tropical activity in August. Though still projecting an above-average season, AccuWeather is now forecasting 16 to 20 named storms, with six to 10 becoming hurricanes and three to six reaching Category 3 strength. In March, AccuWeather projected 20 to 25 named storms, with eight to 12 becoming hurricanes and four to seven reaching Category 3 strength. The hurricane season started June 1 and will end Nov. 30. It has had five named storms, with three reaching hurricane strength and one becoming a major system. The storms have included the Category 1 Hurricane Debby, which made landfall last month in Taylor County before crossing parts of North Florida.
Should abortion be considered a voting issue in local elections?
While abortion rights are often framed as a federal or state issue, local government can give taxpayer funds to anti-abortion organizations or use zoning laws to restrict abortion access.
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law Florida’s 15-week abortion ban two years ago in Kissimmee, public records show his office invited a lengthy list of anti-abortion politicians and advocates to show up for the celebration — including a Winter Garden Republican who’s now running for a seat on the nonpartisan Orange County Commission.
Austin Arthur, a candidate who’s running for the District 1 seat in west Orange, was specially invited by the Governor’s Office for the celebration, along with sitting Osceola County school board member Jon Arguello, a self-described “MAGA Patriot” who was identified on the invite list as a representative of Heritage Action for America (affiliated with the rightwing Heritage Foundation) and 40 Days for Life (an anti-abortion advocacy group).
Arthur, a political newcomer challenging incumbent Orange County commissioner Nicole Wilson this year, conceded that he’s “invited to a lot of things,” but said he sees abortion as an issue outside of the county purview and denied having any sort of personal relationship with DeSantis.
“I don’t have a particular relationship with the governor. I don’t think I’ve ever met the man,” Arthur told Orlando Weekly in an interview. “There’s nothing really there,” he said of the invite, “except for the fact that I’m doing everything I can to bridge the gap between Tallahassee and Orange County.”
Arthur, a gym owner and marketing professional by trade, advanced to the general election this upcoming November by a barebones margin, with Wilson beating him only by a few votes. His background, nonetheless, has stirred concern among some.
Arthur, for instance, sits on the board of a religiously affiliated “pregnancy resource center” in Eustis called Life’s Choices Women’s Clinic.
Such facilities, often mistaken for legitimate abortion clinics, aim to convince pregnant people not to get abortions. They offer free ultrasounds, STD testing and pregnancy tests, despite many (including Life’s Choices) lacking a state medical license.
Arthur, a dad of three small children himself, does not publicly tout his affiliation with Life’s Choices, though he proclaims his involvement with other community organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Central Florida YMCA and a veterans’ suicide prevention group.
As early as last year, Arthur began scooping up the support of local Republicans who have historically voted in favor of abortion bans, including state Rep. Carolina Amesty (who’s currently facing felony charges over alleged forgery) and state Sen. Dennis Baxley of Ocala, who has sought for years to ban most all abortions in Florida.
Arthur declined to tell Orlando Weekly what his personal opinion on abortion is or how he plans to vote on Florida’s pro-abortion rights measure, which will appear on the ballot this November as Amendment 4.
Interjecting oneself into the issue of abortion as a local official, Arthur argued, is “unnecessarily dividing people” and “distracting from your actual job of what you should be doing as a commissioner.”
Nicole Wilson, a registered Democrat and the incumbent in a district that very slimly leans Republican, was more open about her position.
“I believe that reproductive rights are human rights and that individuals should be able to make decisions about family planning, contraception and abortion without government interference, coercion, or discrimination,” Wilson told Orlando Weekly
Protecting public health, safety and welfare,
been adopted by local governments in a number of states, including Texas, Florida, North Carolina and others.
Ironically, many of these cities and counties don’t even have abortion clinics within their local limits, yet still seek to outlaw or otherwise symbolically oppose them.
An ordinance in Lubbock, Texas, for example, declares abortion an “act of murder” and outlaws the act of getting an abortion, providing one, or aiding and abetting someone in the termination of their pregnancy.
Florida’s Santa Rosa County, near Pensacola, became the first county in the state to create a similar, if less aggressive, resolution through a 2020 ballot referendum approved by voters.
she argued, is a “fundamental role” of an elected county official.
When abortion becomes a local issue
Abortion likely isn’t the No. 1 issue that comes to mind in considering candidates for County Commission races — as opposed to, say, transportation or infrastructure — yet it’s not entirely outside the local purview.
While abortion rights are more often framed as a federal or state issue, there are still a number of ways that the issue of abortion rights can show up in local government.
Some key examples include so-called sanctuary city laws established for the “unborn,” giving taxpayer funds to anti-abortion organizations, and establishing zoning and land-use laws that similarly aim to restrict abortion access.
Back in 1995, for example, Orlando’s sole private abortion clinic today, the Center of Orlando for Women, had to fight just to open.
As Orlando Weekly reported a few years after the ordeal, the city of Orlando’s planning board had initially denied the clinic’s founder a permit for the clinic’s operation after an anti-abortion critic complained that he was violating local zoning laws. Planning board members sided with the protester and reportedly felt that the clinic’s presence would be “disruptive,” correctly predicting there would be demonstrations by protesters opposed to abortion.
Dr. John Pendergraft, a Black doctor who founded but no longer owns the clinic, ended up suing the city of Orlando over the zoning fight, and won. Other municipalities in recent years have similarly found creative ways to keep abortion clinics out of their communities, including through the creation of sanctuary city policies.
Such laws essentially seek to create “prolife sanctuaries,” scholars report, and have
That resolution essentially allowed the county to adopt a symbolic stance against abortion. Two years later, Santa Rosa commissioner James Calkins led an effort to try to outlaw abortion clinics in the county, which (like Lubbock) isn’t home to any abortion clinics. Calkins’ proposed ordinance, which he called “All Lives Matter,” failed to get enough support from his colleagues, however. They ultimately shot down the proposal, declaring it a moot point.
A county commissioner in Lee County more recently launched an effort to have the county government formally denounce Florida’s Amendment 4, a proposed measure that seeks to write abortion rights into the state constitution and legalize abortion up to viability, or roughly 24 weeks of pregnancy. Currently, the limit is six weeks.
The measure, spearheaded by the nonpartisan political committee Floridians Protecting Freedom, needs at least 60 percent of the vote this November in order to pass.
On the flip side of local restrictive policies, there are also protective measures that local leaders can champion to support safe access to abortion care. One example that some state Democrats have unsuccessfully tried to establish statewide is buffer zone laws, which serve to help protect clinic patients and staff from harassment.
Such laws create fixed areas around abortion clinics to help keep protesters away, reduce disruption, and increase safety for clinic patients and staff. A local law in Melbourne, later challenged in the courts, created a 36-foot buffer zone around a local abortion clinic there a few decades ago.
A clinic doctor testified at the time that patients forced to confront protesters “manifested a higher level of anxiety and hypertension, causing those patients to need a higher level of sedation to undergo the surgical procedures, thereby increasing the risk associated with such procedures.”
Additional floating buffer zones the city had created in the law for patients and the homes of staff were ultimately struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1994.
Where local candidates stand
Orlando Weekly reached out to all six candidates on the ballot for Orange County Commission races this November over email to ask their positions on the issue. As of publication, three have responded.
Wilson, the District 1 incumbent, plainly admitted she plans to vote in favor of Florida’s Amendment 4. “I don’t want Tallahassee politicians or Washington politicians making health care decisions for my daughters, my sisters, or me,” she said.
Arthur, as previously mentioned, declined to share his personal views on abortion, but said that he wouldn’t support something like a pro-life sanctuary city law. “I’m not in favor of that,” he said. “I’ve never made that part of my platform, because it’s not what I’m focused on.”
Arthur was previously identified on a website for the Florida Christian Patriots, a local Christian Nationalist group, as a co-founder, but has in recent months sought to distance himself and no longer appears on the site. The group encourages locals to “stand up for truth, liberty and Biblical values.” Several other co-founders that are listed have donated to Arthur’s campaign, records show. (Nathan Cassidy, still listed as a co-founder of Florida Christian patriots, defeated Pete Crotty and Randy Ross in the Sept. 4 election to become Republican State Committeeman.)
The only other candidate to get back to us ahead of publication was Linda Stewart, a term-limited Democrat in the state Senate who is campaigning for the Orange County Commission seat in District 3.
Stewart, who has voted against abortion bans in the state Legislature (despite occasionally voting with Republicans on other issues), said she’s an active supporter of Amendment 4 and trusts women to make choices that make the most sense for them and their families.
“They deserve the right to make personal private decision about their lives and future without the interference of government,” Stewart told Orlando Weekly in an email.
Stewart’s opponent in the race, incumbent Mayra Uribe, did not return our multiple requests for comment over the last week on this specific issue, nor did either of the candidates running for the open District 5 seat, Steve Leary and Kelly Semrad.
Arthur, eager to veer away from the issue of abortion, broadly chided his opponent Wilson for what he described as difficulty in securing her in engagement with communities in her district. He used that claim to point out a slew of endorsements he’s received from local leaders in Winter Garden, Ocoee and Windermere.
“It was almost impossible to ever get her engaged in the community, and a lot of frustrations came out of that,” Arthur claimed, sharing that initially, he was trying to recruit someone else to run for her seat before hopping into the race himself.
Wilson told Orlando Weekly, in response, that she’s held over 400 community meetings during her time in office, and often sees Arthur at these meetings.
Where she doesn’t see him, she said, is in county land-use meetings — where, Arthur claims, she is allegedly favoring certain developers for county projects over others.
“I’ve worked really hard in this office over the last three and a half years to move forward some more stringent guidelines in environmental protection,” Wilson said, admitting it’s possible those guidelines have removed some developers from consideration for projects.
“I treat everyone, whether [it is] the mayor, or somebody who works at the Convention Center — I treat them equally,” she added.
Wilson, an environmental lawyer by trade, said the primary pillar of her campaign back in 2020 and still today is environmental policy, hand-in-hand with sustainability and smart growth management.
She said it’s concerning that Arthur, who’s leading in campaign fundraising more than 5 to 1, is “being largely funded by the people who I’ve sort of tried to make sure were doing their part right: the developers, the tourism industry,” said Wilson. “These are people I’ve had relationships with, but I’ve required, you know, conversations about how to do a better job of taking care of their own people and taking care of the environment.”
Arthur has been endorsed by politically influential industry groups such as the Orlando Regional Realtors Association (whose state affiliate has lobbied in favor of laws threatening home rule) and the Central Florida Hotel & Lodging Association (a trade group that backed controversial changes to Florida’s child labor laws this year, as a pitch to increase the industry’s labor supply).
Arthur, however, rebuked claims in an interview regarding his campaign finance record, arguing that a good portion of the over $275,000 he’s raised so far comes from retirees in the community who just happen to back him for office.
Arthur himself donated $50 to DeSantis’ campaign for Governor in 2018, and donated $50 four years later to the campaign of State Attorney General Ashley Moody, an elected official who has neglected calls to beef up enforcement of Florida’s minimum wage, despite warnings from labor advocates of widespread wage theft in the state.
Wilson, who’s donated to state politicians who support abortion rights, described Arthur as a “slick marketer.”
“I wonder, without having an actual record of what he would do as a public servant, what his expectation is when he gets to the county,” she said. “I hope the public pays attention and they ask some questions. I hope that people continue to do their due diligence before they cast their ballot.”

NOT SO FAST
Orlando pauses new homeless shelter initiative hours after backlash from residents of the neighborhood that was slated for the shelter
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Orlando city officials indefinitely paused a plan last Tuesday night to invest $7.5 million in a new homeless shelter, a spokesperson for the city confirmed, just hours after initially announcing the idea.
“After speaking with several community members, Mayor Dyer decided to remove the item from the agenda,” Andrea Otero, public information officer for the city, told Orlando Weekly over email. “We plan to continue gathering feedback from residents and determining the best ways to address the homelessness crisis.”
According to reporting from Spectrum News 13, an initial meeting last Tuesday to discuss the initiative was met with a wave of negative feedback from residents of the area where the proposed open-access shelter would have been established. The city announced earlier that day that they had narrowed down a location they felt was fitting for what they had in mind: a 21,000-square-foot facility at 2140 W. Washington St., just a couple of miles west of downtown in District 5.
Neighborhood residents, however, reportedly pleaded for the city to consider investing in a shelter location somewhere else, due to what they see as an over-concentration of homeless services and programs already established in their area.
“Why is it that some of these entities can go in other neighborhoods and mess their neighborhoods up? How would you feel if you come home, and somebody got your water hose on and drinking out of it, or taking a shower?” asked resident Tracy Anderson.
Shan Rose, the newly elected interim commissioner for District 5, acknowledged residents’ frustration. “These are mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters who are often homeless and that’s the reason why we have to come together,” said Rose. “District 5 unfortunately has the bigger burden of social services and so residents are saying no more here and that’s what we heard tonight.”
Martha Are, head of the Homeless Services Network of Central Florida nonprofit who attended the meeting last week, conceded that residents had “legitimate concerns” and stressed that new shelters are needed across the tri-county region, not just in District 5.
“Every county needs additional [shelter] capacity, and simultaneously, we have to create more housing opportunities for our citizens,” Are told Orlando Weekly, adding that homelessness has become a growing problem along major corridors.
“When we have more people becoming
homeless, but we don’t increase our shelter capacity — the shelters are full,” Are stressed.
“There’s no place for people to go, and therefore they’re out there, unsheltered. They’re out on the streets, and that dynamic is going to continue unless we add some shelter bed capacity.”
A point-in-time homelessness count in Central Florida — covering Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties — conducted by Are’s nonprofit and volunteers earlier this year identified a 105 percent increase in the number of people in the region who are unsheltered, and are left to find shelter on the streets and sidewalks or in the woods. An estimated 1.3 million low-income families in Florida are severely cost-burdened, meaning at least 50 percent of their household’s monthly income is going toward rent and utilities.
Existing shelters in the Orlando region are full, said Are. “Most of the existing shelters have been around for more than 25 years. We haven’t seen new shelters since then.”
Orlando’s decade-long struggle navigating the issue of homelessness was exacerbated during the pandemic, as local rents skyrocketed, the housing market tightened, and the region saw an influx of residents who could afford housing that longtime locals had been priced out of. “It’s our neighbors, it’s our mothers, it’s our grandmothers” who are on the streets, said Are. “You know? It’s children, brothers.”
The city of Orlando’s proposed $7.5 million investment in a new shelter — placed on pause last week — would come from the city’s Accelerate Orlando fund, a pool of federal funding the city received from the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The city earmarked $58 million in funds total for Accelerate Orlando, a plan created specifically to address the city’s affordable housing crisis.
Millions of dollars from that fund have already been approved for projects like a hotel conversion off Colonial Drive, mixed-income affordable housing development, investments in local homeless service organizations (including the HSN) and financial assistance for low-income residents to help cover housing repairs or down payment costs.
The idea of this new proposal was to establish what’s known as an “open access” shelter: a shelter that would be operational 24/7, with a low bar to entry, offering basic helpful services like employment assistance, healthcare and counseling to help people find feasible housing options. Local housing advocates, including Are, stress
that not only are local individuals and families struggling with a lack of housing, but also access to viable job opportunities, affordable childcare, and treatment for mental health and substance use problems that can be exacerbated by the experience of homelessness.
“The best operated shelters for communities that they are in are the ones that are open 24/7, where you have staff who are working with people during the day to help them with their employment options, to help them access the healthcare services, mental health services that they need,” said Are. Those programs “can get better outcomes” she explained, “and they are less disruptive to a community because you don’t have people walking around.”
She also acknowledged that some people who are homeless aren’t always willing to go to a shelter due to a bad prior experience with a shelter, or because existing shelters aren’t accommodating for people with pets, for unmarried couples, or for people who lost or had their valid forms of identification stolen.
“There’s a lot about how a shelter gets structured that can make a difference in how effective it is for populations that have pretty valid reasons for not going into other facilities,” Are said.
The problem extends beyond the Orlando metro area. The Sunshine State at large has become increasingly unaffordable, particularly for those who are low-income or who live on a fixed income from disability or Social Security payments.
Even more, the state’s most politically influential industry lobbying groups have in recent years successfully pushed state legislators to gut local tenants’ rights laws, legalize scammy security deposit alternatives, ban rent control and ease building regulations that serve to benefit their members, while running the risk of throwing average Floridians under the bus.
A new Florida law, approved by the GOPcontrolled state Legislature and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this year, could even further strain existing resources in communities. The law, originally pitched by an out-of-state think tank called the Cicero Institute, bans cities and counties from letting homeless people camp on public property and, effective Jan. 1, will allow individuals and businesses to sue a local government that fails to enforce the ban (while allowing a five-day period to cure).
“They’re now forcing us to do something about it, but they’re not giving us the funding,” Orange County commissioner Emily Bonilla said of the state, during a county meeting earlier this summer in June.
Other local leaders have tried to remain optimistic. “I feel pretty confident that we’re not in the business of incarcerating people for being poor, for being homeless or housing insecure,” said fellow county commissioner Mike Scott, during a legislative briefing on the bill in March. “I think even, notwithstanding this bill, I think we can meet the challenges to be able to serve those who are struggling with homelessness.” news@orlandoweekly.com
NUCLEAR ESCALATION
Florida looks at adding nuke plants to diversify energy sources away from dependence on natural gas
Florida Public Service Commission staff members Thursday met with experts and electric-industry officials to discuss what is known as “advanced” nuclear technology.
The meeting was the first formal step in the commission carrying out a legislative directive to submit a study by April about the possibility of using the technology.
“We think that this will help tee up these opportunities over the next several decades,” said Lauren Sher, senior director for development at Florida Power & Light, who chairs a nuclear working group for the Florida Electric Power Coordinating Group.
Nuclear plants produce about 13 percent of Florida’s electricity, according to a state House analysis. But Florida hasn’t added new plants since the 1980s. Duke Energy Florida decided in 2013 to close a Crystal River nuclear plant after it sustained damage in a containment building.
Lawmakers this year passed a broad energy bill that included requiring a study about using advanced nuclear technology. Among other things, the study will look at the possibility of adding nuclear power at military bases. Sher described the study as a “long-term view and a long game.”
Jacob Williams, general manager and CEO of the Florida Municipal Power Agency and chairman of the Florida Electric Power Coordinating Group, said the state needs to diversify its energy sources, as about 75 percent of electricity is generated with natural gas.
While utilities continue to build solar facilities, Williams said nuclear power could be important in meeting future needs.
“Florida sits like a sore thumb. We are the most dependent [part of the country] on a basically single source of electricity,” Williams said.

Praise be the meal that reveals itself as clearly bad, for it is clearly good. Easily assessable and enjoyable in a perverse way. I do love the definitively catastrophic dud of a dining experience. The knowing. It’s delicious. So, grazie, Grazie — a recent midweek lunch with you was clearly bad. And though followed by a far more palatable weekend dinner wherein certain dishes were enjoyed, inconsistencies and humdrum bill of fare make this Italian newbie a bit of a square-peg-round-hole fit in a neighborhood known for inventive eats and discerning appetites.
Walking into the former Bem Bom space was bittersweet. Gone are the familiar faces. The quirky boho charm. The framed review I penned when Chef Chico was slinging bacalao and punched potatoes. They’ve been replaced by a wash of generic polish, by a twist of generic neon on brick, by a menu that reads as a tribute to chain-Italian homogeneity. Alfredo, carbonara, penne alla vodka, bruschetta. Balsamic vinegar seems to seep into every nook and cranny. A caprese salad reads “doused with balsamic vinegar.” Doused.
Basic it is, so basic it was — for lunch, we ordered usual-suspect barometer bites. Despite
its handmade dough, a taste of Margherita pizza ($16) brought a rush of roller rink, by-the-slice memories, heady with that cardboardy mustiness of yesteryear. Lifeless and unpleasant. I rarely leave food uneaten, even mediocre food (the curse of growing up with too many brothers), but a Caesar salad ($13), soggy with what tasted like Caesar-fied creamy Italian and fluffed with bland, waxy shards of Parmesan, was left largely untouched.
But the killing blow? Possibly the worst eggplant parmigiana ($17) I’ve ever put to fork. That’s a lifetime of eggplant parm. Effort is involved in achieving this level of spongy, chewy gray. I’m searching for a phrase here … “cadaverous con queso”? Yes. The saving graces were our genial server and a side of edible zucchini. To say we were looking forward to dinner would be lying. We were apprehensive but curious. Determined to give Grazie a fair shake. As with lunch, we launched with fundamentals. Fried calamari ($16) suffered from several pieces clinging to uncooked batter. Polpette ($13), meatballs with marinara and ricotta, fared better. Nicely flavored and tightly textured but dryish, the well-balanced marinara and ricotta essential for greasing the wheels.

diavolo ($28) featured plump shrimp over linguini tossed in a spicy red sauce studded with garlic and basil. It was properly al dente, piquant and order-again satisfying.
Thankfully, there are weekend specials. Grazie’s owner, Nazih Sebaali, also owns Lebanese eatery Meza. The Lebanese know lamb, I like lamb, and I quite liked a Grazie dinner special of truffled lamb with pesto mashed turnips ($40). The lamb itself was easily the best thing we tasted — generous and perfectly cooked, in a deep mushroom sauce studded with shaved truffle. The mash, however, was victim to poor execution. A little pesto goes a long way. A lot of pesto goes a long way toward murdering tastebuds. After the meaty high note, we ended flat — limoncello cake ($8) that ate grocery store basic.
Basic: the word I keep hearing when I ask others about their experience at Grazie. Most seem to have been spared the unappetizing depths we discovered, but none seem enthusiastic about returning. This is what basic does. It bores and deflates. But basic is not irredeemable. Based on our pasta and lamb, there is a capable cook somewhere in Grazie’s kitchen. Consistency between lunch and dinner service, between dishes, would pay dividends. A dash more distinctiveness to its menu. A sprinkling of wow. A challenging taste or two. Something that says thoughtful and inspired. That says Audubon Park. dining@orlandoweekly.com

AN VI VIETNAMESE KITCHEN
Friendly owners Joe and Rose Nguyen moved to Orlando from Seattle, leaving their restaurant Rainier Crawfish behind, so it’s no surprise the Cajun crossover options at An Vi feel honed — fried catfish banh mi proved perfectly crisp and clean, gumbo was a bowlful of soulful. The rest of the menu offers capably tasty Vietnamese options in an area of town not known for an abundance of such. (reviewed Sept. 4) 1052 FL-436, Casselberry, 321-972-1503, anvirestaurant.com, $$

Tigelle (pronounced “tea-jelly”) is a small round Italian flatbread, often sliced and stuffed with cheese, meats or sweets. It’s the belle of the ball at Ispirazione, where it’s made fresh daily and crisped to order. Sandwich fillings are highquality, and the bread is lovely, crunchy and fluffy; house-made desserts are sweet and sparky.

Premieres Thursday:
Ángel Di María: Breaking Down the Wall — Follow the triumphant path of the Argentinian soccer great, from working in the coal mines as a kid to becoming one of the best in the world at his chosen sport. Yeah, yeah, but which of those jobs gives you the better chance of meeting some cool-ass dwarves? (Netflix)
Billionaire Island — Title notwithstanding, this isn’t a competition show where 1 percenters get offed like characters in an Agatha Christie book. Instead, it’s a Norwegian drama series about rival fish farmers. Right, like that’s going to make me forget my fantasy of Bill Gates hanging from a volcano while Jeff Bezos stamps on his fingers. (Netflix)

Into the Fire: The Lost Daughter — A two-part documentary follows Michigander Cindy Tarkanian’s quest to solve the mysterious disappearance of a daughter she had put up for adoption 35 years earlier.

Midnight at the Pera Palace — Season 2 of the time-traveling Turkish thriller is set in 1941, where Esra tries to discover the true identity of her family while she’s being pursued by the lover she met in 1919.

In the last big reveal, we learn the kids were actually shipped off to shuck corn for Sarah Huckabee Sanders. (Netflix)

Up in North Korea, they’re prepping an even more dramatic spin on the concept, in which members of the Supreme Leader’s family try to make it through breakfast without a taste tester. (Netflix)

FUTURE SHOCK
Jazz titan Herbie Hancock will never stop surprising you
BY KYLE EAGLE
Every year we eagerly wait to celebrate the same holidays and special occasions like clockwork, with the attendant get-togethers, seasonal diversions, food and song. One thing that you can’t count on is the next time something or someone truly great comes to your part of the world. In this particular case, it’s the maestro Herbie Hancock blessing us with a show at the Dr. Phil this week.
Here is a sensory thrill that no theme park could match. This is an occasion to see and hear our cultural past, present and future all at once and in one person.
Herbie Hancock is an artist whose musical contributions to the world can be seen and heard seemingly everywhere, from his beginnings with Donald Byrd to his time in Miles Davis’ Second Great Quintet (alongside lifelong musical partner Wayne Shorter) to the genre-splintering fusion years of the 1970s. Here are the roots of much of the 21st century music we have today — electronica, hip-hop,
neo-soul and R&B. Many of his works have spawned their own movements; the influence of the robotic “Rockit” and “Nobu” and albums like Thrust and Future Shock can be heard in the music of Skrillex, Daft Punk, Aphex Twin, Thundercat and Snarky Puppy. Who’s to say where he’ll go next?
Orlando Weekly had the singular honor of conversing with Hancock ahead of this concert.
Half-kidding, but what’s it like to have created the music of the 21st century starting back in the 1960s?
That’s the kind of stuff I like to do, full of surprises. Things you wouldn’t think would connect that do. I don’t want to be stuck in one genre. I like a variety of things and like to cross borderlines. That’s what stimulates my creativity. It’s great to be able to explore and combine old things with new things with whatever comes to mind. If I hear an idea that I’ve never heard before, well, that’s what I want to check out.
You definitely don’t seem like someone who gets stuck in a comfort zone. This can be heard in the band you’re touring with, and we hear you’re pulling out an array of instruments too — keytars, vocoders, a Fender Rhodes. What can we expect to hear?
There’s gonna be pieces I’ve recorded on different Headhunters records; there’s a moment where “Rockit” gets worked in there. So it’s kind of a return to something that people in the audience will know but I don’t do them like the record … I already did that. I tell them, if you came here to hear the record, you came to the wrong place. The record is in your house.
I’ll use these tunes like a lure with a fish, reel you in and then play you something that has evolved since you last heard it.
Nice way to put it, “evolved.”
There’s a lot of young people that weren’t even born when these tunes were recorded. That’s what blows my mind, you know.

Since the last time you played here several years ago during a short tour of improvised concerts with Wayne Shorter, a lot has happened. You’ve had an institute named after you, Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz. You had a role in the science fiction film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Forward motion and technological advancements are hallmarks of your creative process. You seem like the perfect person to chime in on a very hot topic right now, AI …
I look at so many videos on YouTube about AI. It’s happening now with what Apple is calling Apple Intelligence — their next watch coming out is going to have a lot more AI on it. Look, I’m waiting for that. An AI assistant? Sign me up! I’m looking forward to that. I know a lot of people are afraid of it, and I understand that. On the other hand, AI can be really helpful for the future, but it’s going to change a lot of things in the future.
That’s a lot to take in, but it’s not going away and it would be a mistake to take it away because I believe AI is going to help us become better human beings. AI is going to help us solve things like climate change, things I don’t think we’re capable of doing ourselves anymore.
Do you think we’ll listen? Because historically speaking, cooler heads seldom prevail, past or present.
I’ve been talking to people about AI for a few years now with a project in Australia at one of their universities so I’m no stranger to it. It’s been on my mind for a few years now. There’s a lot more on the horizon, if we do have a future. I don’t think we’ll have a future in one way or another if we don’t embrace AI.
Last question: One could say Herbie Hancock has not only attained the status of a jazz titan, but also a statesman. Do you have anything to impart to us?
One observation that is very important to me came to me through my practice of Buddhism. … There’s only one family in the world, it’s all of us. And not everyone likes everyone in their family. [laughs] I’ve said this to audiences and they laugh, because it’s true. But if we’re family, don’t we try to help them? Don’t we try to encourage them? Don’t you care about them? Imagine if we did that with everyone in the world.
So instead of trying to get something for yourself, try helping other people — that’s the way to live and move forward in the world.

Curry Ford West’s Commission Beer Chamber celebrates their anniversary and Orlando hip-hop with big block party and (actual) mix CD
BY J.C. CARNAHAN
Leave it to a nostalgic hip-hop craft beer bar to dust off the once tried-and-true concept of featuring local music on a mix CD.
The Commission Beer Chamber releases its second compilation of Orlando area rappers and producers this Saturday as part of its fouryear anniversary end-of-summer block party in Curry Ford West.
Put together by Tek the Intern and My Good Phelo, The Commission Beer Chamber Mixtape Volume 2 is both a labor of love and a show of appreciation for bar owner Benny “Mister Blanco” Colón.
“As artists, we all wanted to do it for Benny, almost as a thank you for giving us opportunities and a home where we get to perform,” My Good Phelo says. “He’s built a little community there, and we know he appreciates us.”
That community has blossomed into a diverse crowd of customers at a unique space decorated with art and vintage equipment and echoing with the sounds old-school New York hip-hop.
The music on the new CD, also available on streaming services, is equally eclectic in showcasing varying voices of Orlando-based hip-hop, both veterans and newcomers alike.
“That’s exactly what that place does,” Tek the Intern says. “Everybody that comes around is from different walks of life. Different fanbases for the artists all show up, and then you have the locals that get to learn a little more about it.”
Many of those featured on last year’s CD are back for Volume 2, including rugged wordsmith Midaz the Beast and faith-based rapper Javy XI. Each of them has recently hosted free listening sessions for their own new albums at The Commission.
“Hip-hop is universal, especially the kind of hip-hop we celebrate,” Midaz says. “There’s all walks of life that’s into it. To have a [CD] sampler of all these guys for the average patron that walks into the Commission is dope.”
Colón says he’d always envisioned the Commission as an educational spot where
people could talk craft beer, music, graffiti and other aspects of hip-hop culture he grew up with in New York.
But it was a relationship forged with late local rapper Christopher “Crescendo” Mercado, before his death nearly two years ago, that helped grow this vision into something more.
Crescendo introduced Colón to a legion of local musicians and artists that have helped turn the establishment into a genuine part of Orlando’s beer and hip-hop culture.
“I wanted to give them a place where they could share their talents, and that’s what it’s become, sort of by mistake,” Colón says.
“When I started the conversation with a lot of these artists I’d become close with about the mixtape, they really came through with it as a way to share it with us and the community.”
Saturday’s event, which kicks off mid-afternoon near the intersection of Curry Ford Road and Bumby Avenue, features Kappy’s, Pizza Culture, Tasty McGee’s and Da Dunk food
trucks, along with music throughout the day by DJ Rize and more.
DJ SureShot and Soy Is Real, also featured on Volume 2, alongside the likes of Shinobi Stalin and Knaladeus, cap the night off with their monthly Sucio Saturday music session.
Shinobi Stalin, much like musical colleague Midaz the Beast, has seen the landscape change over the past two decades as an active Orlando MC when it comes to local venues embracing the art form.
“We’ve gone through different hip-hop home bases that have shut down or didn’t want to keep doing hip-hop shows,” Shinobi Stalin says. “After COVID, it seemed we really didn’t have anywhere to go. But shout out to Benny for kind of letting us do whatever we want when a lot of venues won’t even let hip-hop in.” music@orlandowekly.com

LOCAL RELEASES
While meditation music is a whole genre in itself, it’s not necessarily the path to transcendence for most listeners of popular music. What differentiates Orlando’s Beautiful Chorus, however, is that they’re an ever-revolving, all-female vocal ensemble led by Alexandra Love, an artist with one of the most seasoned music pedigrees in Orlando.
As a core member of acts like Solillaquists of Sound, In Curses and various other notable combos, Love’s footprint in the local music scene runs long and deep. That prestige as a talented and seasoned singer even predates her repute in the spiritualism community.
But Beautiful Chorus’ latest 10-track album High Frequency Love Music — the first in a new series titled Mantra Medicine — is perhaps their most pop-savvy collection to date. Working with producer Evan Tetreault, Love has brought her vision into a newly holistic focus here. Of course, these songs still adhere to Beautiful Chorus’ mission of spiritual elevation with deliberate
force, because moving along with the music helps to integrate the message into our bodies,” says Love. “It’s a root, sacral and solar plexus focus of alignment.”
Either way, it’s a pronounced new pulse that yields penetrating results. Weaving together electronic, bass, soul and choral music like a 21st-century Enigma, High Frequency Love Music writes a new page in New Age with more pop and punch. While the components are there to reach for a higher plane of consciousness, this album is a full music experience on its own, not just a companion soundtrack for meditation.
“I wanted these songs to feel deep and direct, expansive and also to the point,” Love says. High Frequency Love Music now streams everywhere.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Cigarettes After Sex: Call Cigarettes After Sex a guilty pleasure if you will. But as I’ve always said about the best melodists, they could be reading from Hallmark cards and I’d still listen. So as cringe as some of CAS’ lyrics are, their music is some of the most brilliant pop minimalism in the game right now. Able to cast a masterfully distilled aura with the rare genius of acts like The XX, they weave the deepest bedroom spell from just negative space and pure melodic perfection, a simple formula that’s exceedingly difficult to pull off. Cigarettes After Sex are touring on X’s, their first new album in five years. (7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13, Kia Center, $51-$265)
Weaving together electronic, bass, soul and choral music like a 21st-century Enigma, Orlando’s Beautiful Chorus writes a new page in New Age with more pop and punch

However, this latest batch of vibes, messages and mantras is sharply framed with more rhythms. Instead of amorphous Zen drones, these tracks play with more songlike flow and architecture. This, too, has some spiritual intent. “The added rhythmic element is a grounding
Pokey LaFarge: In the retro roots world, the Jack White-endorsed Pokey LaFarge is both a standout and an exception. While his foundation is American roots music, his shine has ended up far more prismatic, alive and breathing than the fixed sepia tone where many of his contemporaries are content to remain. LaFarge’s latest album, Rhumba Country, his first in three years, even ventures beyond the mainland and embraces Caribbean and Latin influences. More than simply a charming old-timey novelty, he’s remixing with a deeper, wider well of references. LaFarge has shown the vision to expand and the taste to make it all click, carving a very cogent niche of his own. (6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, The Social, $25)
Amigo the Devil, TK & The Holy KnowNothings, Dan Spencer: As Amigo the Devil, former Orlandoan Danny Kiranos built a fervent hometown following that’s only snowballed nationally since he left. I wrote about how special his theatrical brand of Southern Gothic murder balladry was back when he was playing intimate rooms like Backbooth, so there’s some real local pride in seeing him return to play a big room like the Beacham. Amigo the Devil will be topping a loaded bill also featuring the charged boogie-rocking country of Portland’s TK & The Holy Know-Nothings and irreverent Tennessee country rocker Dan Spencer.

“From the Mind of Tim Burton,” a burlesque experience concocted by Midnight Fables Cabaret, hits the Marshall Ellis Theatre’s stage this week.

Host Alistair Graves guides the audience through burlesque takes on characters like Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice, Emily from Corpse Bride and even Pee-Wee Herman, in performances that are sure to make pulses start racing. The evening features Maxine Malice, Ivy Les Vixens, Miss Foxy D’Ville, Harlot Johansson, Lilith Lovecraft, Lilabelle Quaintrelle, Emma Jewel, Ruana Rae, Polly Poison and Celena Skye. Tell ’em Large Marge sent you. 8 p.m., Marshall Ellis Theatre, 1300 La Quinta Drive, bigbangboomcollective.com, $25-$30.

The Photography of Jim Leatherman
Though we don’t want to embarrass him in the fashion of a helicopter parents at a kid’s soccer game, we can’t help but rah-rah encourage you to check out Jim Leatherman’s photo exhibition opening at Lil Indie’s on Friday. There’s really no one else like Leatherman in Orlando — or, we’d go so far as to say, in the entire state of Florida. Leatherman has seen it all and lived to shoot the tale, with a vast archive including seminal snaps of Björk, R.E.M. and Green Day. But Leatherman is no nostalgia act. His passion for new music is on par with his love for those alt-rock greats, and you can see him down front at gigs by the likes of 0 Miles Per Hour and M.A.C.E. This exhibition focuses on snaps old and new, covering several decades’ worth of shows at Will’s Pub. Get to the gig … we mean, gallery. 7 p.m., Lil Indie’s, 1036 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, free. — Matthew Moyer

Raheleh Filsoofi and Eric André: From Common Clay
Crealdé School of Art’s newest exhibition features two artists’ exploration of the sociocultural and political fabric using traditional ceramics. Raheleh Filsoofi and Eric André: From Common Clay will be on display starting this week at the school. The exhibition kicks off with an opening reception Friday. From Common Clay features the works of Filsoofi and André, from Iran and Ghana respectively, both of whom use clay and other materials to artistically explore cross-cultural topics like immigration, ownership, displacement and diaspora. In conjunction with the exhibit, a “Ceramic Rhythms and Community” workshop with Filsoofi and her husband, Reza, will take place in early November. The two-day workshop will consist of hands-on instruction about the art of crafting traditional clay darbuka drums, culminating in a
drum circle performance. Exhibition runs through Jan. 25, 2025. 7 p.m., Crealdé School of Art, 600 St. Andrews Blvd., Winter Park, crealde.org, free. — Chloe Greenberg
F RIDAY-SATURDAY, SEPT. 13-14
Florida School Board Meeting
Breakthrough Theatre this weekend brings back a second run of its popular show, Florida School Board Meeting, which had its initial (sold-out) run last month. The one-act play should be a dramatized version of an actual school board meeting, but is largely reflective of our current reality. Featuring scripted commentary from parents and activists (performers) that some might find absurd — from rants about teachers’ unions to “woke” education — the 45-minute comedy draws directly from transcripts of actual school board meetings that have occurred around the state. In recent years, “parental rights” activists have turned what were previously dull meetings into political battlegrounds. At times, such activists have disparaged school staff, board members and teachers, and have lobbied the state for changes to school curriculum and the educational landscape broadly. Some have even run for and been elected to school boards. This new production is conceived and directed by “two teachers who have had it!,” according to the theater. If you missed its first run, here’s your chance to correct your mistake. There will not be a quiz after the show. Breakthrough Theatre, 6900 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, breakthroughtheatre.com, $15. — McKenna Schueler

DRAWN BY KIERAN CASTAÑO
BY ROB BREZSNY
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Peregrine falcons can move at a speed of 242 miles per hour. Mexican free-tailed bats reach 100 miles per hour, and black marlin fish go 80 mph. These animals are your spirit creatures in the coming weeks, Virgo. Although you can’t literally travel that fast (unless you’re on a jet), I am confident you can make metaphorical progress at a rapid rate. Your ability to transition into the next chapter of your life story will be at a peak. You will have a robust power to change, shift and develop.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Mythically speaking, I envision a death and rebirth in your future. The death won’t be literal; neither you nor anyone you love will travel to the other side of the veil. Rather, I foresee the demise of a hope, the finale of a storyline, or the loss of a possibility. Feeling sad might temporarily be the right thing to do, but I want you to know that this ending will ultimately lead to a fresh beginning. In fact, the new blooms ahead wouldn’t be possible without the expiration of the old ways. The novel resources that arrive will come only because an old resource has faded.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Did you ever have roommates who stole your credit card and used it to buy gifts for themselves? Does your history include a friend or loved one who told you a lie that turned out to be hurtful? Did you ever get cheated on by a lover you trusted? If anything like this has happened to you, I suspect you will soon get a karmic recompense. An atonement will unfold. A reparation will come your way. A wrong will be righted. A loss will be indemnified. My advice is to welcome the redress graciously. Use it to dissolve your resentments and retire uncomfortable parts of your past.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): One of my oldest friends is Sagittarius-born Jeffrey Brown. We had rowdy fun together in our 20s. We were mad poets who loved to party. But while I went on to become an unruly rock & roll musician, experimental novelist and iconoclastic astrologer, Brown worked hard to become a highly respected, award-winning journalist for the PBS News Hour, a major American TV show. Among his many successes: He has brought in-depth coverage of poetry and art to mainstream TV. How did he manage to pull off such an unlikely coup? I think it’s because he channeled his wildness into disciplined expression; he converted his raw passions into practical power; he honed and refined his creativity so it wielded great clout. In the coming months, dear Sagittarius, I urge you to make him one of your inspirational role models.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let’s hypothesize
that you will be alive, alert and active on your 100th birthday. If that joyous event comes to pass, you may have strong ideas about why you have achieved such marvelous longevity. I invite you to imagine what you will tell people on that momentous occasion. Which practices, feelings and attitudes will have turned you into such a vigorous example of a strong human life? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to meditate on these matters. It will also be a favorable phase to explore new practices, feelings and attitudes that will prolong your satisfying time here on planet Earth.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Few Americans are more famous than George Washington. He was a top military leader in the Revolutionary War before he became the country’s first president. George had a half-brother named Lawrence, who was 16 years older. Virtually no one knows about him now, but during his life, he was a renowned landowner, soldier and politician. Historians say that his political influence was crucial in George’s rise to power. Is there anyone remotely comparable to Lawrence Washington in your life, Aquarius? Someone who is your advocate? Who works behind the scenes on your behalf? If not, go searching for them. The astrological omens say your chances are better than usual of finding such champions. If there are people like that, ask them for a special favor.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Over 15 centuries ago, Christian monks decided Fridays were unlucky. Why? Because they were the special day of the pagan Goddess Freya. Friday the 13th was extra afflicted, they believed, because it combined a supposedly evil number with the inauspicious day. And how did they get their opinion that 13 was malevolent? Because it was the holy number of the Goddess and her 13-month lunar calendar. I mention this because a Friday the 13th is now upon us. If you are afraid of the things Christian monks once feared, this could be a difficult time. But if you celebrate radical empathy, ingenious intimacy, playful Eros and fertile intuition, you will be awash in good fortune. That’s what the astrological omens tell me.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): One of the longest bridges in the world is the 24-mile-long Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana. During one eight-mile stretch, as it crosses Lake Pontchartrain, travelers can’t see land. That freaks out some of them. You might be experiencing a metaphorically similar passage these days, Aries. As you journey from one mode to the next, you may lose sight of familiar terrain for a while. My advice: Have
faith, gaze straight ahead and keep going.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): My horoscopes don’t necessarily answer questions that are foremost in your awareness. This might annoy you. But consider this: My horoscopes may nevertheless nudge you in unexpected directions that eventually lead you, in seemingly roundabout ways, to useful answers. The riddles I offer may stir you to gather novel experiences you didn’t realize you needed. Keep this in mind, Taurus, while reading the following: In the coming weeks, you can attract minor miracles and fun breakthroughs if you treat your life as an art project. I urge you to fully activate your imagination and ingenuity as you work on the creative masterpiece that is YOU.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Gemini musician known as Prince got an early start on his vocation. At age 7, he wrote “Funk Machine,” his first song. Have you thought recently about how the passions of your adult life first appeared in childhood? Now is an excellent time to ruminate on this and related subjects. Why? Because you are primed to discover forgotten feelings and events that could inspire you going forward. To nurture the future, draw on the past.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are lucky to have an opposable thumb on each of your hands. You’re not as lucky as koala bears, however, which have two opposable thumbs on each hand. But in the coming weeks, you may sometimes feel like you have extra thumbs, at least metaphorically. I suspect you will be extra dexterous and nimble in every way, including mentally, emotionally and spiritually. You could accomplish wonders of agility. You and your sexy soul may be extra supple, lithe and flexible. These superpowers will serve you well if you decide to improvise and experiment, which I hope you will.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The internet is filled with wise quotes that are wrongly attributed. Among those frequently cited as saying words they didn’t actually say, Buddha is at the top of the list. There are so many fraudulent Buddha quotes in circulation that there’s a website devoted to tracking them down: fakebuddhaquotes.com. Here’s an example. The following statement was articulated not by Buddha but by English novelist William Makepeace Thackeray: “The world is a looking glass. It gives back to every man a true reflection of his own thoughts.” I bring these thoughts to your attention, Leo, because it’s a crucial time for you to be dedicated to truth and accuracy. You will gain power by uncovering deceptions, shams and misrepresentations. Be a beacon of authenticity!
Meet Sugar!
Sugar (A553261) is 4 years old and came in as a stray. She is small and cuddly, gets along with other dogs and absolutely loves people. She is as sweet as her name, wiggly and happy, and though she has not been at the shelter for very long, she has already melted a lot of hearts here.
For the months of September, October and November, Orange County Animal Services is inviting you to fetch a new friend! This promotion reduces the adoption fees for pets in the shelter’s care for four weeks and longer. Those pets will be available for $10, while all other pets will be available at the standard rates ($55 for dogs, $40 for cats). Each adopted pet is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before going to their new home.
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.
