Every year, Orlando Weekly features a Halloween-appropriate cover image on the issue that covers Orlando’s favorite holiday. Last year was an image of a zombie girl; in 2014 we had, uh, a zombie girl; and in 2013 – Gary Numan (scary! He was playing a Halloween show). But in 2012, the last time we had to decide between seasonal spookiness and our civic duty of encouraging readers to vote in the presidential election, we chose the latter: Our cover simply read “Shut up and vote.” This year, there was no need to choose – we are encouraging our readers to vote as (we hope) the denouement of one of the scariest campaign seasons we’ve ever experienced. Although Bernie Sanders said in July that Trump is the “most dangerous presidential candidate in the modern history of this country,” Trump himself is not what truly scares us. Trump qua Trump is just another reality-show buffoon, just another rich guy who thinks you can get whatever you want if you grab it by the pussy. He’s about as menacing as a bad pumpkin spice latte (and roughly the same hue). No, it’s the idea of a Trump presidency that truly frightens us, although that seems like an unlikely event at this point. It’s the horror show of violence, racism and misogyny at his rallies that terrifies us. It’s the vein of anger and hatred running through our republic that Trump has mined, and that won’t be going away whoever wins, that has us suffering panic attacks a few times a week. (And we’re not alone: Mental health professionals have reported a massive rise in anxiety and emotional distress related to this election.) “I’ll keep you in suspense,” Trump promised in the final presidential debate. It was a classic horror-movie trope from a man who has forced the country into the most terrifying election season ever. Now that’s scary.

Early voting starts, more Mad Cow troubles, the Senate race gets nasty and other things you may have missed this week. »

Early voting starts this week and ends Nov. 6: Avoid the hassle of Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 8, and vote early in the general election. Bring photo identification to one of 17 locations in Orange County to vote between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. For more information, visit ocfelections.com.

Senate race between Rubio and Murphy heats up at first debate: What has been a pretty boring U.S. Senate race between Republican incumbent Marco Rubio and his Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy got a little tense last week during a debate in Orlando. Murphy jabbed Rubio on his continued support of Donald Trump in the wake of the nominee’s bragging about groping women without consent, while Rubio pounced on Murphy for creatively embellishing his résumé and his lackluster record as a congressman. The high point of the debate was watching Rubio evade the question of whether he could commit to serving a full term by saying he would serve in the Senate for the next six years, “god willing.”

Orange County board defers grant to Mad Cow Theatre until review: Orange County commissioners deferred a $75,000 arts grant to Mad Cow Theatre last week after allegations surfaced regarding delinquent payments to artists working for the professional theater group. The decision comes after Orlando Weekly published an article on a number of artists who started a petition calling for a boycott of the theater until it pays what it still owes to artists. Alvin Wang, a member of Mad Cow’s board of directors, has said there is no question the theater was late in its payments and it is working on a plan to fix the issue.

Two mural memorials go up near Pulse: Not just one, but two memorial murals went up last week near the LGBT nightclub Pulse that honor the 49 victims of the mass shooting. The first one, by Baltimore artist Michael Owen, was painted on the wall of Einstein Bros. Bagels, while the second one is a canvas mural on an actual wall of the nightclub created by Los Angeles artists Mr. Brainwash and Nats Getty. mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com

The first thing people hear about Shane Evan Tomlinson is how beautiful his voice was. But the most beautiful part about Tomlinson was his giving heart, says his best friend, Quinten Simmons. The 33-year-old singer liked to help people in need and “had a heart for everybody,” Simmons says. “He was a good friend,” he says. “He poured into people. He loved hard, whether it was through agreements or disagreements. He encouraged people to be the best they could be. He didn’t need a stage for that.” Simmons says he and Tomlinson met about seven years ago after Tomlinson moved to Orlando from Atlanta. Originally from New York and a graduate of East

Carolina University, Tomlinson became the lead vocalist of local cover band Frequency and sang at weddings and clubs. He had big dreams for Frequency and wanted to travel with the band abroad. Some of his favorite artists were Jazmine Sullivan, John Legend, Janet Jackson and Brandy Norwood. Tomlinson’s father, Stephen Tomlinson, told WSOC-TV that his son “has always been someone who loved the Lord. From the time when he was 18 months old, he sang to the Lord.” Hours before his death, Tomlinson had performed with Frequency at Blue Martini nightclub on June 11. Tomlinson later went to the LGBT nightclub Pulse, where he perished along with 48 others in early hours of June 12. Simmons says he has since moved to Philadelphia as part of his healing process, though he still speaks every day with Tomlinson’s parents, who he says have found resiliency in their faith. He keeps close to him the memories of his best friend, including the times they would pack their bags and go on random road trips or go out to brunch on the weekends, especially at Kasa Restaurant & Bar. “I find myself still having conversations with him every day,” he says. “He lived every moment and he enjoyed every minute of it.” – Monivette Cordeiro

TOP TEN CENSORED

STORIES

2016

hroughout its 40-year history, Project Censored has covered a lot of ground that the corporate mainstream media has missed. Begun by Carl Jensen, a sociology professor at California’s Sonoma State University shortly after Watergate in 1976, it’s become an institution involving dozens of faculty members and institutions working together to come up with an annual list of the Top 25 Censored Stories of the Year. The Watergate burglary in June 1972 “sparked one of the biggest political cover-ups in modern history,” Jensen later recalled. “And the press was an unwitting, if willing participant in the cover-up.” “Watergate taught us two important lessons about the press: First, the news media sometimes do fail to cover some important orlandoweekly.com

issues, and second, the news media sometimes indulge in self-censorship,” he said. On the upside, it led to the creation of Project Censored. As with the Watergate story, these aren’t censored in the overt heavy-handed manner of an authoritarian dictatorship, but in the often more effective manner reflecting our society – an oligarchy with highly centralized economic power pretending to be a “free marketplace of ideas.” It may give people what they think they want in the moment, but it leaves them hungry for more, if not downright malnourished in the long run. The missing stories concern vital subjects central to the healthy functioning of our democracy. The problem is, we may not even realize what we’re missing, which is precisely why Project Censored is essential.

This year, 221 students and 33 faculty members from 18 college and university campuses across the United States and Canada were involved. A panel of 28 judges comprised of media studies professors, professional journalists, and even a former commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission, also participated. All this reflects the fact that news isn’t just created for individuals to consume, but for citizens to debate, discuss and then take action on. The real Project Censored, in short, includes you, the reader. Project Censored has always dealt with specific stories, but on anniversaries like this one, the larger patterns those stories fit within are impossible to ignore. Economic inequality, global warming, petro-politics, suppression of health science, government spying, corporate influence of government, these are all familiar themes that appear again on this year’s list. But a bit more ought to be said by way of introduction to this year’s top censored story, before starting the list proper. Jensen began the preface to Project Censored’s 20th anniversary edition with the story of how John F. Kennedy killed a detailed New York Times story blowing the whistle on the planned invasion of Cuba. A shrunken, muted version ran in its place. Afterward, Kennedy told a Times editor, “If you had printed more about the operation, you could have saved us from a colossal mistake.” This year’s No. 1 censored story is a direct descendent of the story JFK wished he hadn’t managed to kill.

U.S. Military Forces Deployed in 70 Percent of World’s Nations

The covert exercise of U.S. military power is a recurrent subject of Project Censored stories. This year’s top censored story joins that long tradition. It deals with the massive expansion in the number of countries where the officially unnamed war on terror is now being waged by U.S. Special Operations Forces – 147 of the world’s 195 recognized nations, an 80 percent increase since 2010. This includes a dramatic expansion in Africa. The majority of the activity is in “training missions,” meaning that this expansion is promoting a coordinated worldwide intensification of conflict, unseen at home, but felt all around the globe. Writing for TomDispatch, the Nation and the Intercept, Nick Turse exposed different aspects of this story and its implications.

Turse’s story for the Intercept focused on the development of a single base, Chabelley Airfield, in the East African nation of Djibouti. It’s an “out-of-the-way outpost” transformed into “a key hub for its secret war … in Africa and the Middle East.” In the Nation, Turse tackled the question of mission success. Project Censored noted that “Turse [had] reported skepticism from a number of experts in response to this question, pointing out that “impacts are not the same as successes.” In Vietnam, body counts were mistaken for signs of success. “Today, tallying up the number of countries in which Special Operations forces are present repeats this error,” Vietnam veteran and author Andrew Bacevich told Turse. SOURCES: Nick Turse, “A Secret War in 135 Countries,” TomDispatch, 2015. Nick Turse, “The Stealth Expansion of a Secret U.S. Drone Base in Africa,” the Intercept, 2015.

Crisis in Evidence-Based Medicine

The role of science in improving human health has been one of humanity’s greatest achievements, but the profit-oriented influence of the pharmaceutical industry has created a crisis situation. That research simply cannot be trusted. Burying truth for profit is a recurrent theme for Project Censored. The top 1981 story concerned fraudulent testing from a single lab responsible for one-third of the toxicity and cancer testing of chemicals in America. But this problem is much more profound. “Something has gone fundamentally wrong” said Richard Horton, editor of the Lancet, commenting on a U.K. symposium on the reproducibility and reliability of biomedical research: [M]uch of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. … The apparent endemicity of bad research behaviour is alarming. Horton’s conclusion echoed Marcia Angell, a former editor of the New CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

England Journal of Medicine, who went public in 2009. A classic case was Study 329 in 2001, which reported that paroxetine (Paxil in the United States/Seroxat in the United Kingdom) was safe and effective for treating depressed children and adolescents, leading doctors to prescribe Paxil to more than 2 million U.S. children and adolescents by the end of 2002, before being called into question. The company responsible (now GlaxoSmithKline), agreed to pay $3 billion in 2012, the “largest healthcare fraud settlement in U.S. history,” according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Nonetheless, the study has not been retracted or corrected, and “none of the authors have been disciplined,” Project Censored points out. This, despite a major reanalysis which “‘starkly’ contradicted the original report’s claims.” The reanalysis was seen as the first major success of a new open data initiative known as Restoring Invisible and Abandoned Trials. While Project Censored noted one Washington Post story on the reanalysis, there was only passing mention of the open data movement. “Otherwise, the corporate press ignored the reassessment of the paroxetine study,” and beyond that, “Richard Horton’s Lancet editorial received no coverage in the U.S. corporate press.” SOURCES: Lancet 385, No. 9976, 2015.

Rising Carbon Dioxide Levels Threaten to Permanently Disrupt Vital Ocean Bacteria

Global warming is a recurrent Project Censored subject. Systemic changes associated with global warming threaten human welfare and all life on earth through a multitude of different pathways. These remain largely hidden from public view. One potential pathway – directly dependent on carbon, not temperature – is through the catastrophic overproduction of Trichodesmium bacteria, which could devastate the entire marine food chain in some regions. It lives in nutrientpoor parts of the ocean, where it fixes atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium, an essential nutrient for other organisms – from algae to whales. A five-year study by researchers at the University of Southern California and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

found that subjecting hundreds of generations of the bacteria to predicted CO2 levels in the year 2100 caused them to evolve into “reproductive overdrive,” growing faster and producing 50 percent more nitrogen. As a result, they could consume significant quantities of scarce nutrients, such as iron and phosphorus, depriving the ability of other organisms to survive. Or the Trichodesmium bacteria could drive themselves into extinction, depriving other organisms of the ammonium they need to survive. “Most significantly, the researchers found that even when the bacteria was returned to lower, present-day levels of carbon dioxide, Trichodesmium remained ‘stuck in the fast lane,’” Project Censored noted, a finding that one researcher described as “unprecedented in evolutionary biology.” SOURCES: Emma Howard, “Climate Change Will Alter Ocean Bacteria Crucial to Food Chain – Study,” the Guardian.

Search Engine Algorithms and Electronic Voting Machines Could Swing 2016 Election

Social media has played an important role in recent social movements, from the Arab Spring to Black Lives Matter, but technology can potentially undermine democracy as well as empower it. In particular, search engine algorithms and electronic voting machines provide opportunities for manipulation of voters and votes, which could profoundly affect the 2016 election. Mark Frary, in Index on Censorship, describes the latest research by Robert Epstein and Ronald E. Robertson of the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology on what they call the Search Engine Manipulation Effect, or SEME. Their study of more than 4,500 undecided voters in the United States and India showed that biased search rankings “could shift the voting preferences of undecided voters by 20 percent or more” and “could be masked so that people show no awareness of the manipulation.” In an earlier article for Politico, Epstein wrote that the Search Engine Manipulation Effect “turns out to be one of the largest behavioral effects ever discovered. … [W]e believe SEME is a serious threat to the democratic system of government.” Because courts have ruled that their source code is proprietary, private compaCONTINUED ON PAGE 15

nies that own electronic voting machines are essentially immune to transparent public oversight, as Harvey Wasserman and Bob Fitrakis documented. In 2016, about 80 percent of the U.S. electorate will vote using outdated electronic voting machines that rely on proprietary software from private corporations, according to a September 2015 study by the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law. The study identified “increased failures and crashes, which can lead to long lines and lost votes” as the “biggest risk” of outdated voting equipment, while noting that older machines also have “serious security and reliability flaws that are unacceptable today.” “From a security perspective, old software is riskier, because new methods of attack are constantly being developed, and older software is likely to be vulnerable,” Jeremy Epstein of the National Science Foundation noted. On Democracy Now! and elsewhere, Wasserman and Fitrakis have advocated universal, hand-counted paper ballots and automatic voter registration as part of their “Ohio Plan” to restore electoral integrity. While there has been some corporate media coverage of Epstein and Robertson’s research, the transparency and reliability advantages of returning to paper ballots remain virtually unexplored and undiscussed.

Corporate Exploitation of Global Refugee Crisis Masked as Humanitarianism

The world is experiencing a global refugee crisis (60 million worldwide according to a June 2015 report, 11.5 million of them Syrian). This has been covered in the corporate media – though not nearly enough to generate an appropriate response. What hasn’t been covered is the increasingly well-organized exploitation of refugees, particularly those displaced in Syria. An AlterNet article by Sarah Lazare – cited by Project Censored – warned of the World Bank’s private enterprise solution

to the Syrian displacement crisis. “Under the guise of humanitarian aid, the World Bank is enticing Western companies to launch ‘new investments’ in Jordan in order to profit from the labor of stranded Syrian refugees,” Lazare wrote. “In a country where migrant workers have faced forced servitude, torture and wage theft, there is reason to be concerned that this capital-intensive ‘solution’ to the mounting crisis of displacement will establish sweatshops that specifically target war refugees for hyper-exploitation.” A World Bank press release touted “the creation of special economic zones or SEZs,” but Project Censored noted, “Myriam Francois, a journalist and research associate at SOAS, the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, told Lazare that the development of SEZs in Jordan ‘will change refugee camps from emergency and temporary responses to a crisis, to much more permanent settlements.’” The SEZ proposals, Francois said, are “less about Syrian needs and more about keeping Syrian refugees out of Europe by creating (barely) sustainable conditions within the camps, which would then make claims to asylum much harder to recognize.’” Another story, by Glen Ford of Black Agenda Report, described a related agreement between Turkey and the European Union to keep millions of refugees from entering Europe as “a deal between devils,” adding that Turkey has “cashed in on the people it has helped make homeless.” In addition to the $3.3 billion in EU money, Project Censored noted: Turkey has also sought admission to the European Union, and, with this, the right for 75 million Turks to enter Europe without visa restrictions as a condition for controlling its refugee population. Thus, according to Ford, Turkey has engaged in a “vast protections racket trap,” effectively agreeing to protect Europe from further incursions by “the formerly colonized peoples whose labor and lands have fattened Europe and its white settler states for half a millennium.” “Europeans will never accept Turkey into the fold, because it is Muslim and not-quite-white,” Ford concluded.

More Than 1.5 Million American Families Live on $2 Per Person Per Day

Even the working poor receive scant attention, but those living in deep poverty – less than $2 per day – are almost entirely absent from view. Kathryn J. Edin and H. Luke Shaefer, sociologists and authors of the book $2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America state that in 2011 more than 1.5 million U.S. families – including 3 million children – lived in deep poverty at any given month. Their depiction of what poverty looks like reads “like a Dickens novel,” Marcus Harrison Green wrote in YES! magazine, Project Censored noted, while in the Atlantic, economist Jared Bernstein noted that their research highlights the problematic long-term consequences of President Bill Clinton’s 1996 welfare reform initiative, with its “insistence on work without regard to job availability.” Project Censored notes that Edin and Shaefer proposed three policy changes to address extreme poverty in the United States: First, policy must start by expanding work opportunities for those at the very bottom of society. Second, policy must address housing instability, which Shaefer described as both a cause and a consequence of extreme poverty. “Parents should be able to raise their children in a place of their own.” Third, families must be insured against extreme poverty, even when parents are not able to work. William Julius Wilson, a leading sociologist in the study of poverty, described their book as “an essential call to action” in a New York Times book review, but this was a rare recognition in the corporate press.

No End in Sight for Fukushima Disaster

“biological magnification.” Meanwhile the Japanese government has relaxed radiation limits in support of its efforts to return the refugee population – a move that younger people, prime workingage taxpayers, are resisting. Project Censored cites a media analysis by sociologist Celine-Marie Pascale of American University. Pascale, covering more than 2,100 articles, editorials and letters to the editor on Fukushima in the Washington Post, the New York Times, Politico and the Huffington Post between March 11, 2011, and March 11, 2013, focused on two basic questions: “Risk for whom?” and “Risk from what? She found that just 6 percent of articles reported on risk to the general public, and most of those “significantly discounted those risks.” She concluded: The largest and longest lasting nuclear disaster of our time was routinely and consistently reported as being of little consequence to people, food supplies, or environments. … In short, the media coverage was premised on misinformation, the minimization of public health risks, and the exacerbation of uncertainties. In contrast, Dahr Jamail’s reporting for Truthout pointed out that the cooling process – still ongoing after five years – has produced “hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of tons” of highly radioactive water, much of which has been released into the Pacific Ocean. Such nuclear disasters “never end,” Arnold Gundersen, a

former nuclear industry senior vice president, told Jamail. Project Censored also cited Linda Pentz Gunter, writing for the Ecologist about the Japanese government’s ongoing cover-up. “In order to proclaim the Fukushima area ‘safe,’ the government increased exposure limits to 20 times the international norm,” Gunter wrote, in order to force refugees to return home, despite medical or scientific evidence to the contrary.

Syria’s War Spurred by Contest for Gas Delivery to Europe, Not Muslim Sectarianism

The Syrian war and its resulting refugee crisis have repeatedly gained headlines over the past five years, but the origins of the conflict, control of oil and gas, are rarely considered – the politics of which have dominated the region since before World War II. The hidden influence of oil – from climate change to campaign finance and corporate lobbying to foreign policy – has been a recurrent subject of Project Censored stories. Project Censored cites a single September 2015 story by Mnar Muhawesh for MintPress News, but that story cites others as well, notably an August 2013 story in the Guardian by Nafeez Ahmed.

“The 2011 uprisings, it would seem – triggered by a confluence of domestic energy shortages and climate-induced droughts which led to massive food price hikes – came at an opportune moment that was quickly exploited,” Ahmed wrote, as part of a broader strategy to undermine governments in the region, as well as manipulating social movements and armed factions for the purpose of maintaining control of oil and gas. Muhawesh and Ahmed both point, in particular, to Assad’s choice between competing pipeline proposals. He refused to sign a proposed agreement for a pipeline from Qatar’s North field through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and on to Turkey in 2009, because it would have hurt his ally, Russia. “The proposed pipeline would have bypassed Russia to reach European markets currently dominated by Russian gas giant Gazprom,” Project Censored notes. Instead, Assad pursued negotiations – finalized in 2012 – for a pipeline through Iraq from Iran’s South Pars field, which is contiguous with Qatar’s North field. Muhawesh cites U.S. cables revealed by WikiLeaks as evidence that “foreign meddling in Syria began several years before the Syrian revolt erupted.” Ahmed came to the same conclusions by drawing on multiple sources, including a RAND corporation document, “Unfolding the Future of the Long War,” which discussed long-term policy options dealing with the complex CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

interplay of energy interests and ethnoreligious-political manipulations. There’s a whole deeper level of driving forces not being reported on behind the Syrian war and refugee crisis.

Big Pharma Political Lobbying Not Limited to Presidential Campaigns

The pharmaceutical industry (aka “Big Pharma”) already appeared in story No. 2, “Crisis in Evidence-Based Medicine,” due to the destructive influence of its financing on the practice of basic science in testing and developing new drugs. But that’s not the only destructive impact of their spending. Although they spent $51 million in campaign donations in the 2012 presidential election, and nearly $32 million in the 2014 midterms, Mike Ludwig of Truthout reported they spent $7 lobbying for every dollar spent on the midterms. “The $229 million spent by drug companies and their lobbying groups that year was down from a peak of $273 million in 2009, the year that Congress debated the Affordable Care Act,” Project Censored noted. Legislation influenced involved all the industry’s top concerns, “including policy on patents and trademarks, management of Medicare and Medicaid, and international trade.” The last item includes pressuring other countries to suppress the manufacture of life-saving generic AIDS drugs in India, to cite just one example. “Pharmaceutical lobbyists also consistently lobby to prevent Medicare from negotiating drug prices,” Project Censored also noted. Coverage of their spending is scant, and virtually never tied directly to the issues that Big Pharma itself is lobbying on.

National Defense Authorization Act. However, the Senate blocked this by a vote of 56-40, in part because, unlike an earlier version, it essentially enabled intelligence and law enforcement officials to engage in surveillance without warrants. Yet, on Dec. 18, 2015, President Barack Obama signed CISA into law as part of a 2,000-page omnibus spending bill, amid media silence – with notable exceptions at Wired and the Guardian. The act authorized the creation of a system for corporate informants to provide customers’ data to the Department of Homeland Security, which, in turn, would share this information with other federal agencies – the National Security Agency, FBI, Internal Revenue Service and others – without privacy-protecting safeguards. In one sense it followed a familiar – if distressing – pattern, as the Guardian reported; civil liberties experts had been “dismayed” when Congress used the omnibus spending bill to advance some of the legislation’s “most invasive” components, making a mockery of the democratic process. But this one was different, since censored stories usually do not stifle powerful voices, as Project Censored observed: [Andy] Greenberg’s Wired article noted that tech firms – including Apple, Twitter, and Reddit – as well as 55 civil liberties groups had opposed the bill, and that, in July 2015, DHS itself warned that the bill would “sweep away privacy protections” while inundating the agency with data of “dubious” value. In April 2016, Jason R. Edgecombe reported for TechCrunch on the glaring inadequacies of interim guidelines to deal with privacy and civil liberties concerns, while the corporate media silence continued. And in May, Violet Blue wrote for Engadget about candidates’ positions on cyber issues. Only Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul opposed CISA, but it never became the subject of any broader media discussion.

RUSSIAN ROUND DANCE | PAINTING BY NADIA WERBITZKY

RUSSIAN WOMEN WITH CANDLES | PAINTING BY NADIA WERBITZKY

LIFE DURING WARTIME Two Regimes memorializes a town of Ukrainian Jews caught between two World Wars BY RICHA RD REEP

t the corner of Maitland Avenue and Maitland Boulevard, the Holocaust Memorial Center’s curvy white building is squeezed between tennis courts and a small courtyard, part of the Jewish Community Center. The exhibit Two Regimes takes up one room’s walls with about 40 paintings depicting life for Jews living in Mariupol, Ukraine, caught between the Stalin and Hitler regimes. From this industrial port town on the shore

of the Azov Sea to a ramshackle stilt house in north Florida, the exhibit is a strange tale, partly told. Artist Nadia Werbitzky’s 40-odd paintings soulfully illuminate her mother’s memoir of the times between the two World Wars. After surviving several concentration camps, Werbitzky and her mother, Teodora Verbitskya, emigrated first to Germany, then to Canada, ending up in Baltimore. How her paintings came to rest under a

BY SETH KUBERSKY TYMISHA HARRIS AS JOSEPHINE BAKER | PHOTO BY VON HOFFMAN, COURTESY OF MICHAEL MARINACCIO

Even though I’m Jewish, I have a

healthy appreciation for Catholic cultural totems such as saints, ofrendas (like the Pulse memorial created by UCF professor Wanda Ortiz for last weekend’s Dia de los Muertos event at CityArts Factory) and of course, the seven deadly sins. No confessional component has had a bigger artistic influence – from Divine Comedy to the Canterbury Tales to Se7en – than the catechism of cardinal vices. Last Friday, I attended two back-to-back events that both used the Malevolent Seven as their starting point, but took them to very different places.

7 DEADLY SINS: EMOTIONS DANCE

Choreographer Larissa Humiston has made her dance company’s celebration of sin into an anticipated annual outing that I’ve been attending since 2009, and it’s been interesting to observe how the event has evolved over the years. For last weekend’s 2016 edition, once again held at the Venue, the entertainment was trimmed back, eliminating the spoken word and live art to focus on the 45-minute dance performance. The evening opened strong, with a sampling of sin-themed snacks – slothful stuffed figs, gluttonous Monte Cristos – catered by Green Gourmet, followed by atmospheric pre-show interactions between the improvising performers and audience. The dance program itself was composed of a solo representing every “sin” – each emblazoned in colorful body paint by award-winning makeup artist Brit Lytle – bracketed by group numbers featuring the full company. Out of Emotions’ sinister septet, Miranda Snow’s “Lust” (performed to Lo-Fang’s cover of “The One That I Want” from Grease) and Amanda Forsyth’s “Wrath” (scored by Nathan Lanier) made the strongest impressions, with both dancers displaying athleticism and intensity befitting their characters. The rest of the company also did an excellent job of actively embodying their personas, particularly during the choreographed transitions,

Emotions Dance and Catharsis both use the seven deadly sins as jumping-off points

which were a huge improvement over the momentum-killing blackouts they’ve employed in the past. This installment of 7 Deadly Sins was one of the most coherent Emotions concerts I’ve attended, and the modern floor-work elements (especially in Kristin Dellibovi’s “Sloth” routine) were well executed. But the troupe doesn’t look consistently comfortable landing their leaps and turns, particularly on the Venue’s petite stage. Certain segments were especially ironic, as “Pride” moved with an evident absence of self-confidence and “Envy” showed signs of exhaustion long before her piece ended. For their next outing (Twist: Throwback Edition, Feb. 24-25 at Orlando Shakes) I’d make the modest proposal that Emotions abandon the off-balance balletics and contemporary clichés and instead focus instead on what they do best: expressing their company’s name.

DEADLY SINS BAR: CATHARSIS

An hour after exiting Emotions, I entered south Orlando’s new Deadly Sins Bar, home to the Catharsis haunt experience. Created by the same folks behind When Shadows Fall, Catharsis uses the same sets as that live-action role playing game (which is currently on hiatus while many of its cast members are employed at Halloween Horror Nights) but transforms them from a cooperative, free-roaming environment into an intimate, linear experience. After signing in and enjoying a brief striptease show with a beer- or wine-based cocktail in the bar area, guests are led (in groups of four, or individually with a $10 up-charge) into the aftermath of Penumbra’s apocalypse. You don’t need

to know the backstory, because it goes out the window once you start encountering the sin-inspired denizens of the dungeon. Over the course of about 30 minutes I experienced a series of theatrical vignettes, each featuring a different creepy character doing their best to unnerve me. I was fed drops of fake blood; smeared with unidentifiable goo; made to lie prone while a mask of human flesh was draped on my face; harvested for hair by a mad scientist; led through pitch blackness with only a thin rope or glowing mask to follow; and forced to kneel while a robed Satanist exhorted me to evil. Unlike some “extreme haunts” found in New York and California, Catharsis is more about violating your comfort zone than reveling in violence; there wasn’t a single cheap “jump scare” in the entire maze, and the minimal gore is more implied than explicit. Even so, my scaredy-cat wife opted to let me go it alone, and a “safe word” is supplied if you must exit early. My only complaints are that (except for Lust) I couldn’t tell which sin each performer represented, and the conclusion needs a bigger blow-off; guests are literally kicked out into the cold, which was confusing and anti-climactic. For only $24, Catharsis is already among the most satisfying specialty haunts I’ve experienced locally since Busch Gardens introduced Alone in 2010, and with some tweaks it could become a must-do Halloween tradition.

ONE OF HISTORY’S GREAT SINNERS: JOSEPHINE

Finally, one of the all-time greatest sinners takes the Venue’s stage starting this weekend (Saturday, Oct. 29, through Monday, Nov. 7), as Tod Kimbro’s biomusical Josephine – starring Tymisha Harris as legendary chanteuse Josephine Baker – makes its local debut. This Michael Marinaccio-directed “cabaret dream play” made a splash at San Diego’s Fringe; based on the recent run-through I attended, it should inspire lust and envy here as well … or I’ll be quite wrathful. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

NOSH PIT O U R F AV O R I T E TA S T E S A R O U N D T O W N Roti canai, $3, from Mamak Asian Street Food

ver the past few years, Orlando has been blessed with a few restaurants proudly and explicitly serving Southeast Asian “street fare.” The Singapore-inspired Hawkers was, of course, the first, but Mamak has been serving up a more Malaysian take from its Colonial Drive location for a couple of years now. And while both restaurants’ menus of small plates are fairly similar – and both include roti canai – you would be remiss if you didn’t sit down at Mamak for a plate of this Malaysian specialty. Although it goes by many names and can feature any number of fillings and accompaniments, the classic roti canai is a piece of tossed-and-spun flatbread that’s tossed into hot oil, quickly fried, and served with a curry. At Mamak, their version ($3 for your first roti; $2 for each additional bread) comes out of the kitchen hot and fluffy, a puff of crispy,

air-light dough with a glistening sheen of oil on the surface. A small ramekin of thin, invigorating curry sits on the plate for your dipping pleasure. It is a nearly perfect dish, able to press your carb-loving decadence buttons without making you feel like you’re working your way through a thick slab of bread. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!) The curry adds just the right amount of spice, while making the dish just messy enough to make you feel like you’re getting away with something. Pair it with an ice-cold Tiger lager ($5) or one of the restaurant’s many local/regional craft beers and maybe a plate of five-spice tofu, and you’ve got a blissfully filling meal that will have all of your pleasure receptors firing at once. – Jason Ferguson Mamak Asian Street Food, 1231 E.

Affordable pho, rice bowls and noodle bowls makes this small, trendy eatery a bastion of collegians attending UCF and Full Sail. Fair warning: The place can get packed pretty quickly, but if you snag a table, take advantage and order the oversized “king pho” bowl with as beefy a broth as you’ll ever slurp.

PIZZA BRUNO

Arguably Orlando’s most popular and buzzed-about pizzeria entices with its “neo-Neapolitan” pies fashioned with fermented dough and creative flavor combinations and fired in a Ferrari-red Pavesi oven (it’s a beaut). Traditionalists can have a field day here, for sure, but the adventurous can employ such ingredients as hot honey, charred peaches, blueberries, maple syrup and the like on their fast-blistered pizzas. Garlic knots with “too much garlic” are practically a must – enjoy them with the ricotta meatballs prior to pie-eating.

THE PARKVIEW

While not as sprawling a space as the Wine Room, nor as packed as Luma, the Parkview has the unpretentious, comfortable air that its neighboring Park Avenue haunts don’t. Plus, the menu goes well beyond the tried-and-true charcuterie and cheese plates to create highly edible pairings – roasted bone marrow, braised beet carpaccio and more – to match an intriguing selection of wines.

GREEN KITCHEN

Healthy eats with Brazilian twists make this tourist-sector eatery on the ground floor of an office building a draw for both famished workers and excitable vacationers. Salads, wraps and sandwiches are the go-to options, but those wanting a substantial meal can opt for one of the chef’s specialties – like two slabs of picanha laced with chimichurri served with potatoes and rice. Those looking to sweeten their healthy meal will find a diverse selection of lures, from dense quindim to baklava. 7055 S. Kirkman Road, 407-413-5005; $$

Owners Chris and Michelle Johnson annexed the space next to their popular blues bar, the Alley, to house this comfy little pit stop knowing there’s no more natural a pairing for blues than barbecue. The barky velour of the brisket is the undoubted star, but don’t pass on the ribs, pulled pork or burnt ends either.

American Pastoral

BY STE V E S C H N E I D E R OPENING THIS WEEK American Pastoral Actor Ewan McGregor says

he had wanted to direct a film for the last decade and a half, but he just couldn’t find the right story. That is, until he came across American Pastoral, acclaimed author Philip Roth’s story of a successful Jewish businessman whose assimilation into the American mainstream is threatened by his daughter’s radicalization. Thank goodness McGregor was able to ferret out this hidden gem – which only won something called the Pulitzer Prize a full 18 years ago – or he might never have gotten behind the camera. (Somebody sign Obi-Wan up for book club.) And while I’m thinking about it, McGregor was already attached to star when the movie was the property of at least two previous directors, so it looks like I’m going to need WikiLeaks to make this story make any kind of sense. Anyway, the completed film version of Roth’s Vietnam-era philosophical drama “consists mostly of people just talking,” report our eagle-eyed friends at the Guardian. The picture’s timeliness may be more in the eye of the beholder: My own feeling is that the implications of a young woman’s involvement in the violent left of the late 1960s would have been deeper to moviegoing audiences of eight years ago, when everybody was debating the extent of Barack Obama’s connection to Weather Underground alumnus Bill Ayers. But maybe I’m asking too much. I mean, crap, McGregor might not have even had a library card back then. (R) Oasis: Supersonic If you want to watch a rock

act tear itself to pieces, it always helps if the lineup is led by actual biological brothers. And nobody perfected the pioneering work done in this area by the Kinks and the Black Crowes like Oasis, the fabulously successful 1990s Beatle-botherers whose Gallagher brothers were just as willing to take on each other as the world at large. Supersonic is an exploration of that appetite for combustion helmed by the same team behind Amy, the well-received cinematic post-mortem for Amy Winehouse. Boy, if those guys show up at your rehearsal with a camera in hand, you might as well call it a night. (R) 36

what happened to Rachel Scott, the first victim of Columbine shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who, according to this faith-based dramatization, was singled out for assassination because of her strong Christian belief.

PULL QUOTE: Bal and Composure p modern emo w Muse-sized ambi Sleek sonics, hi theater and flas lighting rig, this emotional rock th built for arena

BY B AO L E - H U U BALANCE AND COMPOSURE | PHOTO BY JEN CRAY

It’s got to be a sign of some-

thing very good in the water here when the independent DIY spirit infiltrates all the way into the often more traditional corridors of jazz and classical music. Luckily for us, the city has long had the regular live performances at the Timucua White House, the even longer underground tradition of the Civic Minded 5 shows, and the offerings of more recent trailblazing presenters like the Accidental Music Festival. Well, the newest entrant to bolster that front is the Blue Bamboo Center for the Arts. It’s in a semi-industrial, off-Fairbanks section of Winter Park but it’s anything but a makeshift black box. In fact, what the owners have done with this facility is a bit of a marvel because spaces don’t get any more inherently hostile to fine music than a warehouse. However, they’ve managed to convert this one into a purpose-built, full-time venue and recording studio with surprisingly warm and clear acoustics. The result of their loving work threads the needle nicely between informal and professional. The space is roomy and relaxed, but appointed with all the features that make a real show – like wide stage, good sound and stage lights. It’s similar to Ivanhoe indie performance space the Venue but, as the brainchild of musicians, is more truly sound-oriented. Fans of the Timucua White House in particular should really check out Blue Bamboo because it’s kindred in both pedigree (specializing in jazz and classical music but with minds open to other

Balance and Composure pump modern emo with Muse-sized ambition … this is emotional rock that’s built for arenas. forms, like folk) and community soul. Like Timucua, it’s a place for art by artists, with all operations – sound, door, bar – handled by the owners. That said, Blue Bamboo is definitely doing its own thing. And that thing can easily get bigger. With almost 6,000 square feet to play with, they have the space. What’s already been developed has been done with pride and thought. And what remains open for future possibility is surrounded by extraordinary ambition, according to some of the great ideas that co-owner Chris Cortez shared with me (e.g. art gallery, education, etc.). Since its summer opening, Blue Bamboo has established a regular rhythm of several shows a week encompassing both national touring names (like Dr. Lonnie Smith, Lenore Raphael, Lucy Woodward) and area talent. Is this critical mass for the jazz and classical set? We’ll see. At the very significant least, though, this event space is another big piece of an exciting new picture for the live music landscape here. In Orlando, it seems alternative venues aren’t just for the kids any more. Take that, punks.

THE BEAT

Philadelphia indie-pop band Mercury Girls (Oct. 19, the Social), who made their Orlando debut this night, have scant output so far. But their latest promising 7-inch is on excellent taste-making indie label Slumberland Records. And as far as first impressions go – on record but especially live – they know how to make you fall hard and fast. They neither take it slow nor play hard to get. They just max out the charm and dive headlong in a spiraling freefall of sparkling melodies and noise-pop texture. It’s a gust of swoon and soar that comes in one breathless speed and in perpetual updraft. When something this enchanting comes on with such velocity and such singleness of mind, all you can do is submit. After the fizz and shine of Mercury Girls, the polished, progressive neo-emo of St. Louis’ Foxing was a little bit of a wet bed. What’s undeniable about them, though, is that they work with craft, clarity and drama. Because feelings are serious, guys. An actual violin was involved. Really. But even all that held no candle to the gushing bombast of Pennsylvania headliners Balance and Composure, who pump modern emo with Muse-sized ambition. With sleek sonics, high theater and flashy lighting rig, this is emotional rock that’s built for arenas. Whatever your appetite for melodrama is, these guys at least have sturdy songs that translate grandly and a full grasp on the mileage of showmanship. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Orlando Ballet: Dracula

Friday, Oct. 28

Culture Pop! ART

The Rotary Club of Maitland’s art festival, Art Under the Stars, began 40 years ago as an outdoor celebration of fine art. Participation in the festival has helped lead several artists to success, including John Petrey and Derek Gores. In the Maitland Art Center's new exhibit, Marking 40 Years of the Rotary Arts Festival, Gores and Petrey create beauty from recycled metal, rubber, plastic and other materials; Culture Pop! celebrates the opening of the exhibit, the first since the Art & History Museums – Maitland received a massive restoration and renovation that both uncovers historic detail and upgrades the campus with new technology. Attendees will also be treated to complimentary food, a cash bar, live music by DJ Nigel John, poetry readings, and more.

DANCE

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

Whether you’re a full-on balletomane or you’re just looking for a new way to celebrate Halloween this year, Orlando Ballet’s presentation of Dracula should be on your radar. Hard-core ballet fans will already know that choreographer Michael Pink’s version of Bram Stoker’s vampire story is full of thrills, chills and plenty of blood spilled, but even if you don’t know a battement from a baseball bat, you’re in for a serious treat. This production – choreographed, designed and scored by Michael Pink, Ken Russell and Phillip Feeney – upends the usual ballet tropes to enfold the audience in a darkly terrifying and cinematic experience. A Milwaukee reviewer (of that city’s presentation of Dracula) called it “a ballet so riveting, so enticing, so frightening and irresistible that you can hardly stand to blink. … It makes you jump in your seat, fearfully cling to the stranger sitting next to you and howl with terrified delight.” Sounds like a nice alternative – or addition? – to Halloween Horror Nights. – Jessica Bryce Young 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday | Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S.

But if you’re out of ideas for what to carve into your spiceless orange canvas – a silly face? a scary face? a Trumpkin? – let the pros from AIGA inspire you at this competition. Serious pumpkinheads go, uh, head-to-head in a carving battle that shows off the skills of professional design teams. A local iteration of a national effort to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, GUTS Orlando donates all proceeds from registration fees, a silent auction, and food and drink sales to the local chapter.

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE DR. PHILLIPS CENTER MUSIC

Lindsey Stirling, the young violinist best known for incorporating dancefloor electronics into her music to massive YouTube and chart success, has an incredibly fervent and dedicated following, and they're sure to show up in force to this Dr. Phillips show. Stirling’s music combines classically trained chops with pop smarts for maximum earworm effectiveness. Meanwhile, live shows are spectacles of visual flair and over-the-top choreography, like a steampunk-meets-anime Cirque du Soleil explosion. Stirling plays our fair city as part of a larger tour promoting her third album, Brave Enough, featuring collaborations with the likes of Lecrae and Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo.

MUSIC

Few stories embody the American Dream more than this Australian melodist’s journey from indie darling to recluse to songwriter to the stars and, finally, to bona fide pop sensation at age 40. Her voice and song craftsmanship are enough to keep the world watching even as she hides her face, something that interviewer Howard Stern chalks up to insecurity but that she credits to privacy and mental health concerns. In a 2014 interview on 60 Minutes, Sia Furler made correspondent Chris Connelly smile as she created a full-bodied, rich and emotive mock melody – using only a pianist – seemingly out of thin air. It’s fun to see some of pop’s biggest names try on their Sia suits every once in a while (Rihanna, Beyoncé, Shakira, Britney), but it’s even better to hear those same tracks in Sia’s guttural, instinctive voice that, were it not so poignant, would almost betray the purity of their structure. – Adam Manno with Miguel, Alunageorge | 7 p.m. | Amway Center, 400 W.

Mac Sabbath MUSIC

The year’s most frightening holiday is coming up faster than a horde of hungry zombies. Ghosts, vampires and reanimated skeletons fill the roster of standard Halloween horrors, but aren’t they mere distractions from life’s true horrors? Getting ghosted by our new Tinder love, credit card debt sucking our bank accounts dry, and disease leaving our bones withered and useless – these are the spectres that should wake us, dripping in cold sweat and panting for air, in the middle of the night. Parody tribute metal band Mac Sabbath plays to the terrors of the fast food industry with their “drivethru metal” this Halloween at the Abbey: Dressed as characters from McDonaldland, members Ronald Osbourne, Slayer MacCheeze, Grimalice and Catburglar play Black Sabbath songs cleverly rewritten to skewer the “food,” employee treatment and overall culture that McDonald’s has spawned over their decades of existence. Sure it’s convenient and delicious – but at what cost? Whatever your food preferences may be (hell, Ozzy Osbourne had a taste for bats – at least he knew he was eating real meat every time), Mac Sabbath’s legendary stage show and commitment to an over-the-top bit make great entertainment for anyone who’s ready to confront the daily frightfest we call life. – Abby Stassen 8 p.m. | The Abbey, 100 S Eola Drive | 407-704-6261 | abbeyorlando.com | $15-$18

I love my wife, but I have a lot of resentment, disappointment and insecurity over our sex life. After four years of marriage, huge angst remains that I have yet to get a handle on. Right now, with kids and our busy lives, she’s content with sex once a week or so, and I need relief pretty much every night to help with my insomnia. What’s more, I really don’t enjoy porn at all, but if we aren’t having intercourse, there’s pretty much no other way for me to get off. Blame it on my fundamentalist evangelical upbringing, but I fear my porn use becoming an addiction. It makes me feel dirty. I would love a solution to this problem that doesn’t involve me jerking off in a dark room by a computer screen after my wife falls asleep every night. All I want to do is feel close to my wife, orgasm and sleep. I think she does sincerely care and wants to help me, but is just so tired and busy with her career and our kids. And yes, I have talked and fought with her countless times. In weaker moments, I’ll admit I have also guilted her for her more “active” sexual past (with prior boyfriends) and for her current “neglect,” which I know is unfair and unhelpful. I just don’t know what to do. When Orgasms Enable Sleep You’ve been married four years, you have more than one child, you both work – and if you divide household labor like most couples, WOES, your wife is doing more, if not most of the cooking, cleaning and child care. But even if you were childless, living in a hotel suite with daily maid service, eating only room service and throwing your underpants out the window after one wearing, WOES, it would still be unreasonable to expect PIV intercourse every night of the week. Frankly, WOES, once-a-week PIV is more sex than most young straight dads are getting. And if you’re demanding PIV from your wife as a sleep aid – “ask your doctor if Clambien is right for you” – it’s a miracle you’re getting any sex at all. And the limited options you cite – it’s either PIV with the wife or masturbation in front of the computer – aren’t doing you any favors. Consider PIV from your wife’s perspective: Her husband fucks, comes and falls asleep. She lies there for a while afterward, tingling, and may have to go to the bathroom once or twice. The PIV that puts her husband to sleep after a long day? It puts her sleep off. And if she wanted to get it over with quickly – because she was exhausted – there wasn’t much foreplay, which means she probably wasn’t fully lubricated (uncomfortable) and most likely didn’t come (unfair). That’s a recipe for resentment, WOES, and resentment kills desire. (Or maybe you should think of it this way: If your ass got fucked every time you said yes to sex, you wouldn’t say yes to sex seven nights a week.) If you expanded your definition of sex,

WOES, if your options weren’t PIV or nothing, you might not have to masturbate six nights a week. Because if your definition of sex included oral (his and hers), mutual masturbation and frottage – and if these weren’t consolation prizes you settled for, but sex you were enthusiastic about – your wife might say yes to sex more often. Still, you’re never going to get it seven nights a week. So make the most of the PIV you’re getting, broaden your definition of sex and get another night or two of sex in per week and enjoy porn without guilt the rest of the week. And if you’re concerned about the amount of porn you’re watching, try this trick: Lie on the couch or the floor or the guest bed, stroke your cock (even if it’s soft) and think dirty thoughts. Your cock will get hard, I promise, and you’ll get off. It’s how most people masturbated before the internet came and ruined everything, WOES, and it still works. When I met my partner of three years, I thought I’d hit the jackpot: a Dom who packs a wallop but knows how to listen and loves group sex (which is kinda my jam). It’s hard to let go of my memories of the early days. We have had some rough patches, especially since he has had increasing financial trouble/ underemployment, whereas I am back in school and have too many jobs. The biggest issue as I see it is he always makes me explain at length why I am busy – not just what I am doing (e.g., midterms) but whether that is “normal” (yes, every semester). I am tired. I care about my partner a lot and feel very close to him in some ways, but I also see him taking advantage of me financially and demanding endless reassurance on top of this. So my desire is to DTMFA. But when I talk about my feelings in the relationship, he argues with me – about what my feelings are or should rationally be. I am really ground down by this. The prospect of breaking up feels like it will be an ordeal. I feel trapped. I don’t think I can stay with him, but I also don’t want to have a conversation about leaving. Sincerely Troubled Under Constant Kriticism

STUCK, nor do you have to convince him your reasons are rational. You don’t even have to discuss your reasons for ending the relationship. You just have to say, “It’s over; we’re done.” It’s a declaration, STUCK, not a conversation. Thank you so much for all of your advocacy – of both sexual and political persuasions – through the years, Dan. Like MADDER, the mom whose letter you ran in last week’s column, I have used Trump’s past and current behavior to help further discussion about the concepts of consent and body awareness, safety and respect with my young daughter. There’s just one thing I wanted to add: Parents should not restrict the “Trump Talk” to their daughters. Our sons need to be told that words and actions that objectify, demean and damage women are not what being a boy or man is about. My son is only 3, so he’s a little young as of yet. But I will definitely have the Trump Talk with both my children. Sons Need Trump Talk Too Thanks for writing in, SNTTT, and you’re right – we need to have the Trump Talk with our sons, too. But I would add another reason to your list: While our sons absolutely need to be told not to objectify, demean and damage women, our sons also need to be told that they, too, have a right to move through this world unmolested. Parents have sex, too! Or so say the hosts of One Bad Mother on the Lovecast: savagelovecast.com. mail@savagelove.net

We need someone’s consent before we kiss them, suck them, fuck them, spank them, spoon them, marry them, collar them, etc. But we do not need someone’s consent to leave them. Breakups are the only aspect of our romantic and/or sexual lives where the other person’s consent is irrelevant. The other person’s pain is relevant, of course, and we should be as compassionate and considerate as possible when ending a relationship. (Unless we’re talking about dumping an abuser, in which case safety and selfcare are all that matters.) But we don’t need someone’s consent to dump them. That means you don’t have to win an argument to break up with your boyfriend, orlandoweekly.com
