¶ What has Rick Scott done to deserve our vote?
To the editor:
Why would we want Rick Scott re-elected as our Florida Congressional Senator? What has Scott done during his tenure to deserve our vote?
As a senator in 2022, Rick Scott proposed his “Plan to Rescue America.” Among his ideas: “All federal legislation sunsets [must be renewed] every five years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again.” His plan included Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and veterans’ benefits. Both political parties called his rescue plan unthinkable and dangerous.
This is a big problem. Why would Rick Scott think it’s a good idea to gamble the Social Security income and Medicare health insurance of millions of seniors on a five-year congressional renewal? We know from history partisan budget issues have shut down the government. Scott should be thinking of ways to preserve Social Security and Medicare, not end it.
In 2020, Sen. Rick Scott served as chairman of the Senatorial Election Committee. His efforts were called “a total failure of leadership, and when things went bad Scott blamed anyone else but him” [by Ward Baker, then-leader of the National Republican Senatorial Committee]. The failure was further proven during the 2022 midterm senatorial elections, as the Republican Party severely underperformed.
We should be reminded of Scott’s CEO role with Columbia/HCA, one of the largest megabillion-dollar hospital and medical providers in the country. Scott led the corporation into the then-largest Medicare and Medicaid fraud in the history of the United States. The corporate result was a $1.7 billion fine and being found guilty of 14 felonies. His defense was he would have stopped the fraud if only “somebody told me something was wrong.” Scott pleaded the Fifth Amendment to avoid self-incrimination 75 times.
[ your words ]
Rick Scott wants to shut down the federal Department of Education. He believes education should be a state function. Under his plan there would be no agency to coordinate national education standards. One state may approve a 12-year-old student’s reading skill at a second-grade level, and another expect the 12-year-old student to read at a fifth-grade level. What if the family moves to another state? Based on reading skills, will some children of the same age be graduating high school while others are still in junior high?
As a senator, Rick Scott stated if he was still governor he would have signed the Florida sixweek abortion ban. Dr. Bruce Shephard, a retired Tampa OB/GYN who delivered over 7,500 babies over a 40-year career, stated women typically find out about abnormalities and genetic conditions at their 18-week ultrasound. The doctor called the six-week abortion ban “archaic, dangerous, and a nightmare.”
In June of this year, Rick Scott voted against the Right to Contraception Act, along with 38 other GOP senators. Scott led 22 of these senators in a statement they felt the bill “infringes on the parental rights and religious liberties of some Americans.” Religions have their own rules, and politics should have theirs. Contraceptives are a means of birth control, and a responsible alternative to unwanted pregnancies and abortion.
Sen. Scott has declared his intention to become the new leader of the Republican Senate with more power to implement his intentions. His ideas jeopardize Social Security, Medicare, public schooling, safe abortion, women’s health, birth control and more.
At 70 years old he is one of the wealthiest members of Congress, with an estimated worth of over $260 million. Unlike many of us, Scott doesn’t rely on Social Security to pay his monthly bills. Rick Scott has failed to show reasonable, rational and responsible understanding of how to govern in our best interests. Vote NO to re-elect Rick Scott.

‘THREATS’
Southeast region AT&T workers end strike, state defends decision to send police to abortion rights petition signers’ doors, and other news you may have missed.
BY KENDAL ASBURY, MCKENNA SCHUELER, THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA AND THE FLORIDA PHOENIX
» AT&T workers head back to work after monthlong strike
More than 17,000 AT&T workers across the South, including thousands in Florida, returned to work this week after spending a month on strike over the telecom company’s obstruction in bargaining a new contract with the workers’ union. Workers told Orlando Weekly that AT&T wasn’t taking the process seriously, unnecessarily delaying attempts to reach agreement on key issues such as wages, healthcare benefits, and other quality-of-life issues like forced overtime. Union-represented workers in Orlando and other parts of the state organized picket lines beginning Aug. 16. Over the past weekend, their union, the Communications Workers of America, reached a tentative agreement with the multibillion-dollar telecom giant for a new contract, thereby ending the strike and preventing one that was threatened on the West Coast of the U.S. The five-year agreement, which reportedly includes across-the-board wage increases of 19.33 percent, is still subject to the approval of union members, who will have the chance to vote on whether to approve/accept what AT&T is offering.
» SunRail offers free rides for students, faculty during College Week 2024
SunRail announced last week that college students, faculty and staff can ride for free on all SunRail trains and stations throughout College Week, from Sept. 16 -20. Riders only need to show a valid campus ID from a Central Florida college or university in place of a SunCard or SunRail ticket. Eligible participants include students and employees at the University of Central Florida, Rollins College, FAMU College of Law, Valencia College, Stetson University, Seminole State College, AdventHeath University, Florida State College of Medicine and Orange Technical College. A map of which station is nearest each campus and more information is available on the railway’s website.
» Florida defends decision to send election police to question those who signed abortion ballot petition
Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd last week defended a statewide investigation into potentially fraudulent signatures used on petitions to help put an abortion rights state constitutional amendment (Amendment 4) on the November 2024 ballot. Testifying as one of six election officials in a hearing held by the House Administration Committee in Washington, Byrd was asked by Hillsborough County Republican U.S. Rep. Laurel Lee to explain why it was harmful to both the public and the elections process if fraud takes place during the petitiongathering process. Byrd claimed that they “have victims of felony identity theft” that “have come and reported that to us that their signature has been put — their identity has been stolen, their signature has been placed on a signature petition.” The Tampa Bay Times reported last week that the Department of State has asked supervisors of elections in at least six counties to collect approximately 36,000 signatures for the state to review. There have also been reports of state police showing up at voters’ homes to question them about whether they signed the petition to put Amendment 4 on the ballot. The Times reported that signatures involved in the probe have been validated by county election supervisors and that the deadline to challenge the validity of signatures has already passed. If approved, the measure would enshrine abortion rights into the Florida Constitution, but it is bitterly opposed by DeSantis and the Republican Party of Florida.
A political committee leading efforts to pass a constitutional amendment on abortion rights filed a lawsuit last week alleging that the state Agency for Health Care Administration is using a website and ads to spread misinformation about the measure, which will appear on the November ballot as Amendment 4. The lawsuit, filed in Leon County circuit court by attorneys for the Floridians Protecting Freedom committee, seeks a temporary injunction to prevent the agency from continuing to disseminate the information online and through television and radio ads. “AHCA’s actions regarding Amendment 4 … have been inaccurate, misleading, abusive and fraudulent,” the lawsuit reads. The lawsuit also points out that state law prevents officials from participating in political advocacy. It came two days after Palm Beach County attorney Adam Richardson filed a case at the Florida Supreme Court about the agency information. Gov. Ron DeSantis has defended the agency’s information, describing it as “above board.” DeSantis is helping lead efforts to defeat Amendment 4, after the Legislature last year passed a law to
prevent abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The ballot summary for Amendment 4 states, in part, that “no law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.” It needs a yes vote from at least 60 percent of Florida voters this fall to pass.
» DeSantis urges Legislature to address condo insurance problems
Gov. Ron DeSantis has said that lawmakers should act before the 2025 regular legislative session to address problems facing condominium associations and owners, including soaring costs. Suggesting no-interest or low-interest loans to help condo owners being hit with large assessments for such things as repairs, DeSantis said during a press conference that lawmakers before the end of this year can tweak laws passed after the 2021 collapse of the Champlain Towers South condominium building in Surfside that killed 98 people. The 2025 regular session will start March 4. Lawmakers aren’t expected to return to Tallahassee until after the November election, but DeSantis said they need to talk with constituents and develop ideas that can be implemented quickly. Lawmakers during a 2022 special session passed a measure requiring condo associations to have adequate financial reserves to pay for repairs and setting requirements for inspections of condo buildings three stories or higher. The law, signed by DeSantis, was tweaked in 2023, and the Legislature this year passed a measure that targeted wrongdoing by members of association boards. In addition to the new requirements, many condo associations are facing soaring property-insurance costs.
THE NEXT EPIDEMIC
Thousands of people in Florida lose their lives to fatal overdose each year. But a new medicationassisted treatment program in Orange County could cut the risk of overdose in half
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Just west of downtown Orlando on Westmoreland Street, the Orange County Medical Clinic has launched a new medication-assisted treatment program in partnership with a nonprofit treatment provider for uninsured residents with opioid use disorder.
The program, funded by money that Orange County received through national settlements with opioid manufacturers and distributors, is available at no cost, and is designed for people with chronic or severe addiction who lack the resources to access treatment otherwise.
People who were recently released from jail or who have ended up in local hospital emergency rooms multiple times for overdose, will be prioritized for the program, which is launched in partnership with Specialized Treatment Education and Prevention Service.
“The whole point of this is to provide access to people who wouldn’t typically have access to care,” Dr. Thomas Hall, director of the county’s Office for a Drug Free Community, told Orlando Weekly. Both repeat overdoses and a history of incarceration are known risk factors for fatal opioid overdose, which can be identified by signs such as slowed or stopped breathing, pale or clammy skin, or loss of consciousness.
The steep cost of quality addiction treatment — hundreds or thousands of dollars for those who lack insurance — and a lack of knowledge about available community resources can be major barriers to getting help, Hall added. “Do they know how to get treatment? Do they know where they can get it? We’re trying to market to that group that there’s care available.”
The goal is to mitigate a crisis that began with addictive prescription opioids like OxyContin in the late ’90s, before a crackdown on such drugs led those with addiction to street drugs like heroin, and now fentanyl, a powerful (and potentially deadly) opioid that can be prescribed for certain pain conditions, but is also manufactured and sold on the black market.
Medication-assisted treatment, a program that refers to a combination of behavioral therapy and medication, is the most effective treatment for opioid addiction, more formally referred to as opioid use disorder. Studies have found that certain medications can significantly reduce the risk of opioid overdose and prevent death among those ingest opioids, yet only a quarter of people with opioid use disorder actually receive it.
Dr. Hall said medication-assisted therapy, effective for people addicted to opioid painkillers, can serve as a “bridge” for people in the early stages of recovery. “[Medication-assisted treatment] is more effective in treating an opioid use disorder than individual therapy and selfhelp groups alone,” Hall explained.
It’s a holistic approach to treatment that has gradually received more support from treatment providers and the U.S. government over the years, with more evidence emerging to dispel the myth that MAT simply trades one addiction for another. The length of treatment can vary depending on each person’s individual needs, and may range from months, to years for some, if that’s considered by treatment providers to be the best option for continued stability.
Buprenorphine, a “gold standard” medication for opioid use disorder that the new program in Orange County offers, can specifically help curb drug cravings and can ease uncomfortable drug withdrawal symptoms, according to Hall.
There are three medications that are approved by the U.S. Federal Drug Administration to treat opioid addiction: buprenorphine (also known as Suboxone, when combined with naloxone), methadone, and naltrexone (the generic name for Vivitrol).
Methadone, a long-acting opioid that can be safely administered to treat addiction, is strictly regulated by the federal government, and requires visiting a clinic daily, while naltrexone has delivered spotty results.
Orange County’s medical clinic, located at 101 S. Westmoreland Drive, will primarily be offering buprenorphine and Suboxone for addiction, according to Hall, although Vivitrol will also be available. Access to buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist that prevents a person from getting high off other opioids, was made easier last year under the Biden-Harris administration, which eliminated a bureaucratic hurdle known as the “X Waiver.”
Prior to the elimination of that waiver requirement, doctors had to undergo an intensive (and burdensome) approval process in order to be able to prescribe the life-saving drug. Research found just 5 percent of medical providers had been licensed to prescribe it, prior to the elimination of the waiver requirement, creating vast treatment deserts across the country for those in need.
Treatment has historically been less accessible
for people of color with addiction — who face additional barriers to care, such as stigma — and for rural communities with fewer providers. The stakes of lacking access to treatment and other protective resources, such as social support from family or friends, are high.
Overdose deaths involving opioids in Orange County nearly doubled over a five-year period, from 175 deaths in 2014 to 342 deaths in 2019. The problem, mostly driven by the highly potent opioid fentanyl, worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic as people suffered from isolation, stress, job loss and disruptions in access to care.
To prevent spread of the virus, treatment centers closed their doors or placed restrictions on the number of patients they could accept. In-person support groups shuttered, or moved online.
Naloxone, a drug capable of reviving someone who’s overdosed on opioids, became less accessible. Stress drove some in recovery during the pandemic to pick up a bottle — of booze, pharmaceuticals or other drugs — to cope. People during COVID used drugs alone, instead of in pairs or groups, thereby increasing the risk that, if someone did overdose, no one would be around to revive them.
More than 106,000 people in the United States died of overdose in 2021, a record high number that rippled through communities. Since then, the number of annual overdose deaths has slowly decreased nationally, but data shows that thousands of people in Florida still lose their lives to fatal overdose each year, resulting in devastation for the loved ones they leave behind.
In Central Florida, Orange County saw its first small drop in overdose deaths in 2022, according to data from the Medical Examiner’s Office, followed by a small increase the following year.
Hall said that fentanyl, a drug that can be deadly in very small amounts, is still the primary driver of overdoses locally, even with the infiltration in local drug supplies of other powerful substances like nitazenes (a class of synthetic pain relievers that have never been approved for use in the United States).
Fentanyl, a drug up to 50 times stronger than heroin, is often mixed in with other street drugs, such as cocaine, and may be marketed as a different drug entirely — including knockoff versions of Xanax or Klonopin (prescription drugs commonly taken for anxiety).
The county has identified certain trends in who’s most greatly impacted. One in five overdose deaths in Orange County occur among people who were recently released from the local jail, according to Hall. Compared to the general public, incarcerated people are at least 40 to 129 times as likely to die from drug overdose within weeks of their release. Research has found that overdose is the leading cause of death for anyone recently released from jail or prison.
These statistics encouraged Orange County to become the first county in Florida to offer medication-assisted treatment inside its local jail, but Hall admitted that a person’s success in maintaining recovery following release isn’t guaranteed.
A lack of social support, triggers to use at home, or limited employment and housing opportunities can all factor into a person’s risk for relapse. “If somebody is not housed, if they don’t have friends, they don’t have social support of others, it’s a lot easier to relapse,” said Hall, who has over 25 years of experience as a mental health and addiction treatment provider.
Cheryl Bello, chief executive officer of STEPS, told Orlando Weekly earlier this year that lacking reliable transportation and childcare — an increasingly steep expense for families — can also serve as barriers to continued treatment, particularly for mothers with addiction.
According to a county news release, the clinic’s new medication-assisted treatment program in Parramore will offer telehealth services for patients, in addition to in-person care, to help meet people where they’re at. Patients can be referred to the program by a treatment or social services provider, or call the clinic for more information about enrollment.
The program, which will begin as a one-year pilot, is being funded by $1 million in funds the county received through national settlements with opioid manufacturers and distributors accused of flooding communities with drugs they knew were highly addictive.
Hall said the program in Parramore could continue past one year, if they demonstrate success, but the county would likely have to pitch in its own government funds for that to happen.
Altogether, the county will receive an estimated $60 million over the next 15 years from those national opioid settlements, with much of that scheduled to come in within the first 10 years. The bulk of funds — 85 percent — must be spent on addiction treatment and prevention programs, under stipulations of the agreements.
In addition to the new medication-assisted treatment program in Parramore, Orange County leaders earlier this year also allocated settlement funds for:
· The distribution of fentanyl test strips, which can detect fentanyl in street drugs, and help prevent accidental overdose;
· A mobile medication-assisted treatment clinic (expected to launch next month, according to Hall);
· A no-cost residential treatment program for low-income women with opioid use disorder who are either pregnant or are new moms;
· Care coordination services at select Orlando Health hospitals, to help connect people who end up in the ER for overdose to appropriate treatment and aftercare.

‘WOMEN SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE’
Florida men make calls to turn out the vote for abortion rights in November
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Two years ago, the Florida Governor’s Office made preparations for a flashy bill signing for Florida’s House Bill 5, which banned most abortions past 15 weeks of pregnancy. The office specifically cherry-picked women and children to flank Gov. Ron DeSantis, records show, as he signed this controversial ban into law.
Planning materials for the event, located at a church in Kissimmee, instructed most of the men invited to sit in the audience, out of the public’s view of the stage.
“Only women and children on stage with the exception of [then-Florida House speaker Chris] Sprowls and [then-Florida Senate president] Wilton, who will be on the very ends,” the emailed instructions, obtained through a public records request, read.“Female legislators should be intermingled with women and children.”
It was political theater, plain and simple, something both major parties have been guilty of at times — with the intent of sending a message, and with fingers crossed for how such antics land.
Two years later, Florida men are inviting themselves off the sidelines, organizing with groups like Men 4 Choice to actively encourage other men to vote in support of protecting abortion rights in Florida.
Last Friday, a group of just over a dozen men gathered at an apartment complex in Kissimmee (with another dozen joining virtually on Zoom) to make calls in support of Florida’s Amendment 4. The proposed constitutional amendment would put abortion rights into Florida’s state constitution, if approved by voters this fall, and would restore the right to have an abortion up to fetal viability, or roughly 24 weeks of pregnancy. GOP opponents claim otherwise, calling it “extreme.”
Preeghary Patino, a 22-year-old who attended the phone bank, told Orlando Weekly that for him, the reason for supporting Amendment 4 is simple.“I don’t like someone taking the freedom away from another person,” he said. “That’s the main focus of this, right? Like, women should have the right to choose.”
Mi Vecino, first launched in 2021, is a yearround voter engagement organization that aims to encourage political participation among Florida’s multicultural Hispanic and Latino communities. A number of Republican party officials and experts have seen Hispanic voters in Florida aligning themselves more with the GOP in recent years, the Miami Herald recently reported, while some say these communities aren’t really aligning with either major party.
“We’re losing voters of color,” Alejandro “Alex” Berrios, a former Florida Democratic Party senior advisor and co-founder of Mi Vecino, told Orlando Weekly at the phone bank.
“We’re especially losing men where now, the plurality of men in Florida are just unaffiliated,” Berrios continued. “They want nothing to do with either party, you know?”
Mi Vecino organized Friday’s phone bank in collaboration with Men 4 Choice. Both have endorsed Florida’s Amendment 4, which is being spearheaded by the nonpartisan political committee Floridians Protecting Freedom.
The official title for the ballot measure is “Amendment to Limit Government Interference in Abortion” — a title that is notably (and purposely) devoid of partisan messaging.
Berrios, a former boxer and dad who climbed his way up the ranks of the Florida Democratic Party before departing from the FDP in early 2022, said that Mi Vecino aims to reach voters of all party affiliations in their outreach, not just Democrats.
According to voter engagement organization Mi Vecino, which co-hosted the event, the Florida men made over 11,600 calls on Friday total, targeting male registered voters in Florida under age 35.
After hearing about Amendment 4 from phone-bankers, 75 percent of voters who answered calls said they would vote yes on the measure, 11 percent said they would vote no and 14 percent said they were undecided. Of those undecided, nearly half (47 percent) explained it was because they didn’t have enough information yet to make an informed decision.
Currently, abortion in Florida is banned after six weeks of pregnancy (before many people even learn they’re pregnant), with limited exceptions that abortion providers themselves say are causing confusion.
After DeSantis signed the 15-week ban into law in 2022, Florida’s GOP-controlled Legislature decided to go even further last year, approving a six-week ban that officially went into effect May 1, decimating abortion access in Florida and across the broader U.S. South. More than 60 percent of abortions performed in Florida last year occurred after six weeks of pregnancy.
Patino, a young field organizer for Mi Vecino, is originally from the Dominican Republic, a country where abortion is completely banned and people who get abortions face up to two years’ prison time. He got involved in political advocacy work at age 18. Young people like himself, he said, “are the future of this country.” Sitting on the sidelines, if you’re passionate about an issue, isn’t an option for him: “If you got a goal, you got to fight for the goal.”
Patino, who’s gone out to knock doors for Florida’s Amendment 4 on behalf of Mi Vecino, has been pleasantly surprised by the warm reception he’s received from voters about the issue, including men.
“Most of the men that I talk to, they say a woman should have the right to do whatever they want,” Patino said. “Like, [the] woman should have the freedom to do whatever they want with their body. They don’t want the government [to] take the rights of the woman.”
Abortion bans can place pregnant people, particularly low-income people and those with fewer financial resources or support, in a position where they are unable to access care, or may resort to desperate measures to terminate a pregnancy.
Women in the U.S. are not guaranteed access to paid leave from work, and may face other logistical barriers to abortion, like lack of insurance, a child to take care of at home, a language barrier, or lack of transportation.
Outside Florida, the nearest states to get an abortion beyond six weeks of pregnancy are North Carolina (where abortion is legal up to 12 weeks), Virginia and Illinois, where clinics have reported notable upticks in patients from Florida.
“We know that the majority of Floridians support abortion access free from government interference.”
“Rich people are always going to be able to travel across the country to get the medical care that they need, but people who don’t have access to resources, don’t have safe people in their communities that they can go to for support, continue to be disproportionately impacted,” Qudsiyyah Shariyf, deputy director of the Chicago Abortion Fund, told NPR affiliate WUSF in an interview last month.“Those are the people that are making the decisions to not get the care that they need because they feel like no resources are available to them.”
Berrios, who initially campaigned last year to become Florida Democratic Party chair before withdrawing from the race to endorse current chair Nikki Fried, said that, in terms of abortion, it’s important to challenge assumptions about what someone may or may not support.
“One of our organizers had the greatest conversation with a woman wearing a ‘Fuck Joe Biden’ T-shirt,” he recalled, candidly, “who then signed the petition [for Amendment 4] and supports abortion rights.”
This is true broadly speaking, but also for the communities Mi Vecino specifically targets in their outreach. A recent poll of Latino voters from Unidos U.S., for instance, found that 68 percent of polled Latino voters in Florida agree that, no matter their own personal beliefs on abortion, they believe “it is wrong to make abortion illegal and take that choice away from everyone else.”
Floridians Protecting Freedom, the group behind the initiative, has put in a concerted effort to keep their messaging on Amendment 4 nonpartisan, and has highlighted the voices of Republicans who have spoken out in support of it.
While polling has found Democrats (and women) more likely to support the measure, some conservatives are also organizing across the state to help make other conservatives feel welcome in the movement, the Tampa Bay Times reported, despite well-funded efforts by many in Florida’s GOP leadership, including DeSantis, to defeat the initiative.
“We know that the majority of Floridians support abortion access free from government interference and are eager to have their voices heard at the ballot box this November,” Natasha Sutherland, FPF’s communications director, told the Times in a statement.
So far, Mi Vecino (a statewide group with the bulk of its staff in Central Florida) has knocked over 150,000 doors in Florida for Amendment 4, according to a spokesperson for the group, and is planning on organizing future phone banks in support of the issue, too.
Not all will exclusively target men, and any and all members of the public are invited to join. Amendment 4 needs a “yes” vote from at least 60 percent of voters this November in order to pass, and a number of organizations in the state are mobilizing volunteers to spread the word. mschueler@orlandoweekly.com
OOF! Orlando Out Fest takes over downtown’s Fringe ArtSpace this weekend, with Alphabet Soup: An A-Z Guide to the LGBTQIA+ debuting Saturday
When Orlando Fringe’s inaugural Orlando Out Fest was forced to cancel its originally scheduled June run due to flooding inside ArtSpace, I let out a loud “OOF” as our area’s already beleaguered LGBTQIA artists lost yet another avenue for self-expression. But as festival producer Ciara Hannon assured me then that they would, ArtSpace and OOF have dried out and bounced back for this weekend’s rescheduled run. “We cannot wait to welcome the growing Fringe theater family back to the newly reopened ArtSpace for an unforgettable weekend celebrating creativity and diversity,” says Hannon of the event, which kicks off Thursday night with a “Truth-or-Dare” preview hosted by Rob Ward as P. Sparkle and continues through Sunday.
The productions in OOF’s initial lineup all celebrate queer stories and history, but span a full rainbow of genres and topics. Local singing icon Billy Mick shares his life story though song and sartorial selections in Just B; playwright Angelisse Perez asks “Who speaks for God?” in the Catholic school drama Revelations; Davi Oddity digs into creepy camp in The Odd Ball!; Whiskey Theatre Factory explores the “most often left out letter” in their original anthology Bi Bi Bi; The Center’s George Wallace emcees a Big Gay Variety Show; and Addison Taylor’s Drag Queen Story Hour gets an “After Dark” edition.
As a longtime fan of both Sesame Street-style puppets and Orlando artist/educator Alexander Hehr, my most anticipated OOF offering is Alphabet Soup: An A-Z Guide to the LGBTQIA+, which debuts at 1 p.m. Saturday (with a 2 p.m. Sunday encore). Ahead of opening night, I interviewed Hehr about his new family-friendly musical inspired by Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” crusade.
A native of Clearwater, Hehr has been an arts educator at summer camps, schools and theaters throughout the region since age 19, but he says semi-sarcastically that his noble calling came from a combo of sibling rivalry and spite. “[My older brother] did Music Man in middle school, and I went and saw that and said,‘Oh, I want to do that.’”
Hehr was teaching high schoolers when Florida’s Parental Rights in Education act passed, and his new play was directly inspired by “how scared they were, because I had kids that were coming out as gay who were still closeted [and] students coming out as trans or coming out as nonbinary, and they were really afraid that they would have to basically re-closet themselves at least while at school, and were worried about more backlash.”
In response, Hehr used his knowledge of state educational standards to craft an age-appropriate script starring Xan, “a 10-year-old puppet [who] has been called names on the schoolyard and doesn’t know what they mean, so he visits Marsha’s Diner to find out more from queer people about queer words — with parental guidance.” Combining puppets and drag with queer history and vocabulary, this show (unlike the superficially similar Broadway hit Avenue Q) is appropriate for kids ages 7 to 10, although Hehr insists that Alphabet Soup is actually intended for the adults that bring them. Hehr says, “In my mind, the kids are learning vocabulary and expression, but the adults are learning how to talk about it to kids.”
Because that vocabulary is constantly changing — with new letters seemingly added to the
acronym every six months — Hehr envisions that his show will continue to evolve. “There’s going to be people coming back being like, ‘Oh, why didn’t you talk about demisexual? Why didn’t you talk about these new words?’ … One of my characters says,‘What we tell you now may not be true in 10 years,’ but it’s a starting point to understanding the queer community.”
Serving as playwright, producer and puppet builder, Hehr partnered with director Chad Lewis of Invisible Arts to bring Alphabet Soup to the stage. “He is a seasoned director and experienced with a lot of Fringe [shows],” Hehr says, adding, “He’s been really supportive; he’s been a phenomenal director and a really good friend to have on the piece.” The “fantastic” cast features several recognizable performers from Universal Orlando, including puppeteer Sean Dunphy, who plays more than a half-dozen characters. Looking beyond his own production, Hehr is “so glad” Fringe is hosting OOF: “It’s important that we have these festivals, especially to highlight specific communities.” Orlando Fringe’s fate now rests in the hands of a recently announced leadership triumvirate that includes my spouse, so from now on I’ll continue covering individual productions like this one, but will refrain from reporting on the organization as a whole. Instead, I’ll let Hehr have the last word: “I hope that in the future, [OOF] gets to grow to be a bigger thing, and it helps make Fringe more noticeable in the community, too. … The biggest thing we need right now is more visibility for Fringe and artists from Fringe.”

THE TAO OF YAO’S
Chef George Yiu flips American-Chinese classics on their heads at Oviedo newbie
BY MICHAEL MURPHY
Unhyphenated America is an unappetizing proposition. It tastes like tighty whities and golf. Hyphenated America is where flavor lives — a free-ballin’ funhouse of spicy and soulful. Come mealtime, forget milquetoast. Give me shrimp toast. Give me American-Chinese — among the most hit-thespot of culturally adapted cuisines.
In recent weeks, I’ve eaten in a “Modern Italian Kitchen,” on the “Modern Riviera,” and now at Yao’s, a “Modern Chinese Kitchen.” “Modern” is a semantic rabbit hole which here seems best defined by a commonality — all three sling broad-appeal reboots of their respective origin fare. Never a surefire recipe for tasty, but at Yao’s, it works and works well.
Chef-owner George Yiu served as executive chef at both Chroma and Canvas in Lake Nona — well-oiled Tavistock machines. He’s done time at Disney. The residue of his pedigree is palpable at Yao’s. It’s a polished restaurant. Suburban urbane. The menu is considered. Market-smart. But Yao’s is far from corporatized sheen-oversubstance. It’s a family affair. George rocking the open kitchen, a brother running service, a sister behind the bar, the wind of generations of family restaurateurs at their backs. It vibes The Bear but friendlier. Panda Bear.
On pandas: My youth was spent bypassing Big Macs for Panda Express. So, when eyes saw Firecracker Shrimp ($12), mouth said yes. Pavlov’s prawns. Although Yao’s Firecracker is more Bang-Bang — China by way of Bonefish Grill — it’s creamy, spicy, fried-crisp good. We followed with Shanghai sticky ribs ($15), largish pork ribs in chili-soy. Although a tad treacly for my taste, they were well enjoyed and Neanderthal’ed to oblivion. Their popularity at neighboring tables suggests the sweetish sauce hits the sweetest of spots with patrons. Chili wontons ($10) with pork and house chili oil were addictively moreish even if they would have benefited from a slight acid note.
For mains, we graduated from zhuzhed-up takeout to dishes with more cheffy appeal. A table favorite was the Parmesan crab miso udon ($22). Yes, that’s at the thematic periphery; I suppose crab sauce noodles exist in China and China is close to Japan and Parmesan is . . . who cares. Although the crab could be more present, it’s a lovable mutt of a dish. Dreamy creamy Japan-o-fredo. A butterflied fire-roasted yellowtail snapper ($50) was also a hit. Although I prefer bone-in, I also appreciate speeding food to mouth. Particularly this food — deep from the grill and brightened with scallion chimichurri.
There were some slight downs. A table-share riff on Mongolian beef ($70) ate like Mongolian Roulette, a ribeye disassembled into a plate of pre-sliced surprises — from tender perfection to prime jerky to fat bomb. Served with a lowkey fabulous side of smoky cabbage, it made for rollercoaster eating. (Hooray! Boo. Hooray!) Mushroom clay pot rice ($19) with local ’shrooms? Conceptually appealing but bland on fork, lacking the earthy umami that would seem implicit.
We ended on a high note. Both black sesame soft-serve and milk-tea tiramisu were fun, firstrate, and a sweet synopsis of the restaurant itself. A whirl of influences: Chinese, Italian, Japanese and more. Very American. Very Yao’s. By leveraging our increasingly hybridized, globalized foodscape as a springboard for innovation, Yao’s succeeds in turning familiar names — hello, beef & broccoli — into deliciously less-familiar plates — hello, beef & broccoli sandwich with ginger chimi. But, at its heart, it remains a tribute to the American-Chinese we know and love, an ever-adapting, crowd-pleasing cuisine that at its worst remains good and when good is fantastic. Yao’s is clearly good, and for Oviedo diners that’s fantastic. 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.

GUITAR ARMY
What is ‘Punk Jazz’? Mike Baggetta and Peter DiStefano are going to show you
BY MATTHEW MOYER
By conventional music biz standards, it’s a bit of an ask to get an audience to venture out to a gig by two musicians playing unreleased and largely unheard material — even if they are two well-known practitioners of their sonic craft.
However, Thursday sees two very well-known — albeit in very different musical circles — guitar-slingers bringing a still relatively new and fresh creative partnership to Judson’s Live. Mike Baggetta (MSSV, Tin/Bag and a current Floridian) and Peter DiStefano (of adventurous ’90s Perry Farrell-led alt-rockers Porno for Pyros) are poised to kick off the second leg of their Punk Jazz Tour in Florida. And it’s a can’t-miss proposition for fans of improv and left-field rock.
“We don’t have an album out or anything. People have really no idea what to expect. … But I think it speaks to the type of audience that we’re getting — they’re adventurous enough to want to see what’s going to happen without knowing
what we’re going to do together,” says Baggetta. There’s an element of mystery to this enterprise — both artists have been anything-goes in their creative careers — and there is no album nor recordings to refer to. But Baggetta assures Orlando Weekly there is method to their madness. For Baggetta, it makes sense to flip the usual methodology of recording first, then touring. He reasons that a stint of intense roadwork allows you to hone new songs to fine sonic diamonds. By the time you get done with the tour and book the studio, both you and the material are road-tested and perfected. (Plans to record are absolutely in the works.)
Baggetta and DiStefano’s friendship — creative and otherwise — is a relatively recent development. Once a teenage Porno for Pyros fan back in the 1990s, Baggetta recalls being lowkey starstruck when DiStefano showed up to a gig by Baggetta’s band MSSV (one that also features mutual pal Mike Watt). A friendship
was struck, and inevitably, the guitars came out.
“I’ve been aware of Peter since I was in high school. When I was in high school, his band Porno for Pyros was a big influence on me. I don’t know if he’s really aware how big of an influence his songs and his approach to guitar playing in that band had on a wide swath of my generation of guitar players,” says Baggetta. “Peter came to an MSSV show in LA. I remember looking out into the audience and realizing he was standing right in front of me in the first row, staring at me while I was playing. No pressure, right? And so we kept in touch a little bit after that. When I would go out to LA, if he was around and we had time, we’d get together and just jam like two guitars.”
Things got serious beyond mere jamming as the two realized they could learn a lot from one another — especially in the crucible of a run of live shows.
“Peter’s been trying to find a way into learning more about music and trying to find a way to perform more freely in improvised music. And I’ve been trying to learn more about writing songs, and singing while I play, and playing songs — which is something he’s done for most of his career,” explains Baggetta.“We realized we could learn a lot from each other. And then he suggested this past spring, maybe we should try to do some gigs.”
The first leg of shows was duly booked by

Baggetta, taking in the Midwest and West Coast
The tour was given the moniker “Punk Jazz” by DiStefano; Baggetta sees it as more of a statement of artistic intent rather than sonic descriptor. And he’s right — it’s an open-ended sonic manifesto.
“I don’t really believe in the genre-labeling system, the grift of the genre. But it’s a funny thing to think about. Everybody knows the phrase ‘punk rock,’ so what is ‘punk jazz,’ right? I think, for Peter, it means a combination of life skills and music skills, and how one thing doesn’t have to mean what you think it does.”
For these Punk Jazz shows, it’s just the two of them on stage, armed solely with guitars, pedals and Baggetta’s sampler rig. It’s a case of expect-the-unexpected for all involved, both audience and performers — “To some extent, we don’t really know what’s going to happen, but we know that we don’t know what’s going to happen” — and leave things up to the benevolent hand of chance.
“We’ve got a good thing going with the way we’re improvising our songs,” says Baggetta. “There are a lot of times where we finish something together, and the impression we want the audience to have is that they can’t tell if it was an improvisation or if it was a composition. We want to see how far we can take that idea.”
The freewheeling stripped-down nature of the tour is bringing out the best in both of them. Pressure is low, the two get on well — and their music is so mutable they can play it in any type of room.
“At the Seattle show, we were both having so much fun together on stage playing,” says Baggetta. “Afterwards, I told Peter, ‘I don’t remember ever doing a gig where I was smiling at the person I was playing with the whole time.’ You know, looking like a total weirdo. But I think that was a good sign.”
As a Floridian, Baggetta felt a sense of mission to make sure Punk Jazz included some Florida dates, a small but important gesture to raise awareness of the oft-hidden creative vibrancy in the Sunshine State’s underground.
“I think it’s important not to propagate the myth of a place not being open to creative ideas. We live here and we know that there’s amazing stuff going on,” says Baggetta. “I think trying to break creative people out of that myopia of thinking that good things can only happen in a few different places is important.”

LOCAL RELEASES
Few figures are as woven into the fabric of the area’s free-improvisation music scene as Jonas Van den Bossche. As a player who often appears alongside noise artists and one of the owners of performance space The Dining Room, he’s both a practitioner and a champion.
However, Van den Bossche’s latest releases have been compositions from the more formal side of his artistic psyche. Unlike the feral in-the-moment performances that see him ply his guitar with toolbox implements, his more recent output are honed studies in window-gazing reverie. In fact, the songwriter in him is the star feature of the Are You Free Now EP, his newest and most expansive release ever.
“It’s a different muscle, but I think it’s the same language,” says Van den Bossche. “I feel like one discipline informs the other. It’s nice to be able to walk away from a song I’m struggling with and play some noise, or have something more focused to work on when I’m stuck on a concept or a sound.”
While his live shows often have more spiritual kinship with noise freaks, Van den Bossche’s recent recordings would keep better company among fans of post-rock and the ambient side of 1990s indie rock. Indeed, the soundscapes on Are You Free Now are tapestries of shimmering meditation and patient revelation. While some singing does come in on a couple songs, most of the gentle dynamics across this mostly instrumental, five-track reflection pool come from the latticework of rippling 12-string acoustic guitars. Taken together, it’s a collection of treks that conjure journeys within.
Are You Free Now is available on Bandcamp. Van den Bossche is currently on the road but will be concluding his Southeast tour with a Gainesville show on Sept. 25 at Wormhole Books & Music.
Unlike the feral in-themoment performances that see Jonas Van den Bossche ply his guitar with toolbox implements, his more recent songs are honed studies in windowgazing reverie — perfect for fans of post-rock and the ambient side of 1990s indie rock
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
49 Winchester, Matt Koziol: New West Records has its next shooting star in 49 Winchester, a group that’s gone from smalltown Appalachia to touring the world as a meteoric buzz band. Their kind of country music is alternative only in the sense that they’re an antidote to the Nashville pop establishment. Otherwise, their full-winged, rock-powered sound is true to the roots and shoots for a soulful, maximalist take on classic country lushness with pedal steel and organ. (7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 19, The Plaza Live, $29-$169)
Digable Planets: At a turbulent time in the 1990s when hip-hop was flexing its cultural muscle hard with the lurid street kabuki
of gangster rap, Digable Planets managed to break out and rise above by being an alternative to the sturm und drang . With a pitch-perfect blend of progressive consciousness, jazzy steez and infinite downtown cool, they were the low-key juggernaut that rewrote the rules immediately on the 1993 release of their debut album, the masterpiece Reachin’ Digable Planets’ run was neither long nor prolific, but their legacy was enduring. Of course, the members have each moved on and along with the times with notable subsequent work in acts like Shabazz Palaces, Cee Knowledge & the Cosmic Funk Orchestra and Brookzill. But there will never be anything quite like the magic that happens when Butterfly, Ladybug and Doodlebug are flowing together. The fact that they’re touring in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Reachin’ will only amplify the history they already bring as trailblazing rap touchstones. (7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20, The Beacham, $32.50-$45)
The Tremolords, Pretty Voices, The Belltowers: Any time you see either The Tremolords or The Belltowers on a bill around here, you know you’re not simply getting some good bands but a good party. That’s because these 1960s-inspired groups are deep in their devotion, masters of their craft and come with a spirited following of garage-rock diehards who shake more per-capita ass than almost all of the city’s other underground subcultures. This time, the two beloved Orlando bands bookend notable St. Pete guests Pretty Voices, who’ll be a natural fit with their strapping blend of classic garage, power pop and rock & roll. This will be a loaded night of high jinks and high kicks. (8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, Will’s Pub, $10) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Torn Apart & Push
Orlando Museum of Art is following up on this summer’s impressive Florida Prize in Contemporary Art group exhibition with two very bold retrospectives. First off, OMA gets young, loud and snotty with the Torn Apart punk art collection. Torn Apart is an exhaustive (though you will be totally wired) trawl through the aesthetics of Year Zero, collecting ephemera, visual works, photos of musicians and fans, and Vivienne Westwood garments — a fairly comprehensive look at London ’77 and beyond. Just as impressively, Push presents the kinetic skateboarding photography of J. Grant Brittain. Brittain has been shooting skateboarders since the late 1970s and has insane action shots of all the greats: Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Tod Swank and Natas Kaupas. Keep an eye peeled, you might run into Brittain himself at the opening reception — or come to his presentation and book signing Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Opening reception is on Friday evening; both exhibits are open to the public on Saturday, Sept. 21. 6 p.m., Orlando Museum of Art, omart.org, free-$30. — MM

Weezer have dubbed their “Voyage to the Blue Planet” tour, marking the 30th anniversary of their first record, self-titled but lovingly known as the Blue Album, which they will be playing full. It has been quite a voyage for the bands. The tour kicked off in St. Paul on Sept. 4 with several gigs selling out along the way, including the City Beautiful. We won’t spoil it for those of you who forked over a pretty penny but the shows are, well, otherworldly. All ticketed passengers will be taking a trip light-years away on a space-themed odyssey back to the album’s 1994 release. As Rolling Stone put it, “Weezer seem hell-bent on making sure you get your money’s worth out of this tour.” It’s not a delusional billionaire-bought trip to space — it is infinitely better. 6 p.m., Kia Center, 400 W.

SUNDAY, SEPT. 22
Boy George & Squeeze
The best pop music of the ’80s was a marriage of craft and the crafty, a wry musical wink to the listener for being clever enough to know history and structural reference but also cool enough to dance along. It was a near-academic alchemy of Brill Building journeyman songwriting and tent revival flash and fervor. The “Squeeze Me Boy George Tour” epitomizes this musical perspective as it brings together two prime examples of these seemingly conflicting ideas. Boy George is a song stylist with the temerity to let his voice be as large as his headpiece, building a career with snappy hooks from “Karma Chameleon” and “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya” to the classic crooning of “The Crying Game.” He has taken on Broadway and reggae with aplomb and has consistently proven that while style will get you coverage, it’s talent that ensures you remain. Squeeze has illuminated that second point in spades. A pop band in the truest sense, with the songwriting right jab-and-left hook combo that is Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, they’ve recorded a catalog of songs you know and love but may not always be able to place as theirs; from “Cool for Cats” and “Up the Junction” to the instantly recognizable “Pulling Mussels (From the
WEDNESDAY–TUESDAY, SEPT. 18-24, 2024
Shell)” and “Black Coffee in Bed.” These headliners have nothing to prove but will still convert you to renewed devotion. 7:30 p.m., Walt Disney Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $49.50$485.50. — Anthony Mauss

Sum 41
Don’t miss the Canadian punk group Sum 41 on the Orlando stop of their farewell “Tour of the Setting Sum.” Hit up the Orlando Amphitheater Tuesday and travel back to a time of catchy
pop-punk melodies and chain wallets. The electric performance of the nearly three-decadesold group is sure to feature high-energy stage antics and notable hits like “In Too Deep” and “Still Waiting” from the group’s early years. A guaranteed crowd-pleaser for Tuesday’s show is “Fat Lip,” the biggest early hit (making them an MTV mainstay) from the trio. But Sum 41 isn’t stuck in the past. On the setlist are deep cuts and new tracks from Sum 41’s ambitious new record, Heaven :x: Hell, continuing their heady hybrid of soaring pop melodies with punk undertones. 5 p.m., Orlando Amphitheater, 4603 W. Colonial Drive, orlandoamphitheater.com, $53-$253. — LD

DRAWN BY KIERAN
CASTAÑO
BY ROB BREZSNY
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have probably heard the platitude, “Be cautious about what you wish for. You might get it.” The implied warning is that if your big desires are fulfilled, your life may change in unpredictable ways that require major adjustments. That’s useful advice. However, I have often found that the “major adjustments” necessary are often interesting and healing — strenuous, perhaps, but ultimately enlivening. In my vision of your future, Virgo, the consequences of your completed goal will fit that description. You will be mostly pleased with the adaptations you must undertake in response to your success.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The bird known as the gray-headed albatross makes long, continuous flights without touching down on the ground. I propose we nominate this robust traveler to be one of your inspirational animals in the coming months. I suspect that you, too, will be capable of prolonged, vigorous quests that unleash interesting changes in your life. I don’t necessarily mean your quests will involve literal long-distance travel. They may, but they might also take the form of vast and deep explorations of your inner terrain. Or maybe you will engage in bold efforts to investigate mysteries that will dramatically open your mind and heart.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are in a good position and frame of mind to go hunting for a novel problem or two. I’m half-joking, but I’m also very serious. I believe you are primed to track down interesting dilemmas that will bring out the best in you and attract the educational experiences you need. These provocative riddles will ensure that boring old riddles and paltry hassles won’t bother you. Bonus prediction: You are also likely to dream up an original new “sin” that will stir up lucky fun.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your spinning and weaving abilities will be strong in the coming weeks. I predict that your knack for creating sturdy, beautiful webs will catch the resources and influences you require. Like a spider, you must simply prepare the scenarios to attract what you need, then patiently relax while it all comes to you. Refining the metaphor further, I will tell you that you have symbolic resemblances to the spiders known as cross orbweavers. They produce seven different kinds of silk, each useful in its own way — and in a sense, so can you. Your versatility will help you succeed in interesting ways.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn basketball player JamesOn Curry had the briefest career of anyone who ever played in America’s top professional league. Around
his birthday in 2010, while a member of the Los Angeles Clippers, he appeared on the court for 3.9 seconds — and never returned. Such a short-lived effort is unusual for the Capricorn tribe — and will not characterize your destiny in the coming months. I predict you will generate an intense outpouring of your sign’s more typical expressions: durability, diligence, persistence, tenacity, resilience, determination, resolve and steadfastness. Ready to get underway in earnest?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s a good time for you to embrace the serpent, metaphorically speaking. You may even enjoy riding and playing with and learning from the serpent. The coming weeks will also be a favorable phase for you to kiss the wind and consult with the ancestors and wrestle with the most fascinating questions you know. So get a wild look in your eyes, dear Aquarius. Dare to shed mediocre pleasures so you can better pursue spectacular pleasures. Experiment only with smart gambles and high-integrity temptations, and flee the other kinds. PS: If you challenge the past to a duel (a prospect I approve of), be well-armed with the future.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Panda bears don’t seem to enjoy having sex. The typical length of their mating encounters is from 30 seconds to two minutes. There was a dramatic exception to the rule in 2015, however. Lu Lu and Zhen Zhen, pandas living at the Sichuan Giant Panda Research Center in China, snuggled and embraced for 18 minutes. It was unprecedented. I encourage you, too, to break your previous records for tender cuddling and erotic play in the coming weeks. The longer and slower you go, the more likely it is you will generate spiritual epiphanies and awakenings.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Few of the vegetables grown in the 21st century are in their original wild form. Many are the result of crossbreeding carried out by humans. The intention is to increase the nutritional value of the food, boost its yield, improve its resistance to insect predators and help it survive weather extremes. I invite you to apply the metaphor of crossbreeding to your life in the coming months. You will place yourself in maximum alignment with cosmic rhythms if you conjure up new blends. So be a mix master, Aries. Favor amalgamations and collaborations. Transform jumbles and hodgepodges into graceful composites. Make “alloy” and “hybrid” your words of power.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “All I ask is the chance to prove that money can’t make me happy,” quipped comedian Spike Milligan. I propose we make that your running joke for
the next eight months. If there was ever a time when you could get rich more quickly, it would be between now and mid-2025. And the chances of that happening may be enhanced considerably if you optimize your relationship with work. What can you do now to help ensure you will be working at a well-paying job you like for years to come?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The World Health Organization says that 3.5 billion people in the world don’t have access to safe toilets; 2.2 billion live without safe drinking water; 2 billion don’t have facilities in their homes to wash their hands with soap and water. But it’s almost certain that you don’t suffer from these basic privations. Most likely, you get all the water you require to be secure and healthy. You have what you need to cook food and make drinks. You can take baths or showers whenever you want. You wash your clothes easily. Maybe you water a garden. I bring this to your attention because now is an excellent time to celebrate the water in your life. It’s also a favorable time to be extra fluid and flowing and juicy. Here’s a fun riddle for you: What could you do to make your inner life wetter and better lubricated?
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian rapper and actor Jaden Smith has won a few midlevel awards and has been nominated for a Grammy. But I was surprised that he said, “I don’t think I’m as revolutionary as Galileo, but I don’t think I’m not as revolutionary as Galileo.” If I’m interpreting his sly brag correctly, Jaden is suggesting that maybe he is indeed pretty damn revolutionary. I’m thrilled he said it because I love to see you Cancerians overcome your natural inclination to be overly humble and self-effacing. It’s OK with me if you sometimes push too far. In the coming weeks, I am giving you a license to wander into the frontiers of braggadocio.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Research by psychologists at Queen’s University in Canada concluded that the average human has about 6,200 thoughts every day. Other studies suggest that 75% of our thoughts are negative, and 95 percent are repetitive. But here’s the good news, Leo: My astrological analysis suggests that the amount of your negative and repetitive thoughts could diminish in the coming weeks. You might even get those percentages down to 35 percent and 50 percent, respectively. Just imagine how refreshed you will feel. With all that rejuvenating energy coursing through your brain, you may generate positive, unique thoughts at an astounding rate. Take maximum advantage, please!
Keisha (A552801) is 3 years old, solid but small, and absolutely loves people and treats. She’ll do anything for love, and likes to spend most of her yard time cuddled on our laps. Calm, gentle and affectionate, Keisha seems like the perfect companion. Keisha’s one and only downfall is that she doesn’t seem to like a lot of other dogs, and she was actually returned to us when she did not get along with the resident pet. But Keisha doesn’t seem to know any sadness; with her beautiful face and wiggly tail, she’s always happy, always ready to take on the new day. She doesn’t know she’s being ignored or looked over. She has no idea why she’s here. To Keisha, every day brings the promise of some yard time, some snuggles, and all the treats she can stand. She’s one of our favorites, and we are just hoping for so much more for her. We know the right person is out there waiting for her.
