Homeless vs. heartless They are starting to get so thick that you often see two or three of them working the same intersection (“Seminole County group protests panhandlers on Christmas Eve,” Dec. 25). I’ve seen a father begging with his two kids – while they sat in little chairs and played with their iPhones. It’s getting ridiculous and out of hand, with many who are only pretending to be homeless.

Please photograph those with iPhones sitting in their chairs. Did it occur to you that maybe that iPhone is the one last thing that they have left from when they were making a living. People who point and blame and accuse see nothing but their own failures. Look in the mirror! Jealous? Get your own iPhone. By the way, all cell phone companies are going no contract and as little as $30 a month. But you would rather they have no phone, no home, no job, all so you can feel better about yourself … at least that is what I get from your comment. How about talking about what causes homelessness: wage theft, corrupt greedy bosses who don’t pay a living wage. If you cannot help, don’t complain.

This is all great, but what about recreational as well (“Florida Supreme Court: If medical marijuana petition gets enough signatures, it can go on 2016 ballot,” Dec. 17)? If one thinks that marijuana is a harmful plant that causes people to rob banks, then said person is misinformed and delusional.

A rendering of what the Princeton Oaks industrial site could look like
Neighbors want wetlands turned into a public park rather than an industrial park
Chuck O’Neal, director of Speak Up Wekiva, says he is speaking with the Trust for Public Lands, a national nonprofit organization that helps fund the creation of parks and protected lands, about Princeton Oaks. If the organization were permitted to buy the property, it could give it to the city, county or a watermanagement district to oversee. “There’s a lack of quality green space on the west side of Orlando,” O’Neal says. “We need a conservation park for kids to learn about nature, and a place where residents can find solace and solitude. It’s our last chance to preserve what originally was of Florida.” Paul Griffin, president of the Northwest Alliance Association community group, says his organization has arranged a meeting with the city officials, Orange County officials and the developers at the Hal Marston Community Center on 3933 WD Judge Drive at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 12 to discuss the proposal. – Monivette Cordeiro
Local residents and environmental group Speak Up Wekiva held a press conference on Dec. 30 to propose to the city of Orlando that a 123-acre parcel of land near WD Judge Drive and North John Young Parkway, which is currently being considered for an industrial park, be turned into a public park. Neighbors have been fighting for months to stop developers from turning the property into Princeton Oaks, a 1.03 million-square-foot project that developers and Orlando Commissioner Regina Hill say would bring jobs and progress to the area. The parcel includes 36 acres of wetlands that are part of the Little Wekiva River Watershed. In plans for the project, developers say they intend to conserve 27 acres of those wetlands. Dr. Wanda Jones, who lives a block away from the proposed development and filed a petition against Princeton Oaks, hasn’t heard anything from the city, developers or the hearing officer after a quasi-judicial hearing held in late November. She says that the industrial park contradicts Mayor Buddy Dyer’s 2007 Green Works Orlando initiative, which claims to want to make the city one of the most environmentally friendly places to live. “They paid how many millions to save Constitution Green and now they have that One Person, One Tree initiative,” she says, referencing a project that seeks to increase the city’s tree canopy. “What’s the point of planting all those trees if you’re going to cut down these?” 6

Orlando LGBT newspaper Watermark has been sold Orlando-based LGBT newspaper Watermark, which wooed Orlando Weekly’s former senior staff writer Billy Manes away to become its editor-in-chief last year, has been sold. But don’t worry, the publication the Orlando/Tampa/St. Pete community knows and loves will stay in the family – publisher Rick Claggett purchased the publication, effective Jan. 1, and founder Tom Dyer, who stepped down as publisher last year and handed management duties over to Claggett, will hang onto the company’s real estate, per a press release sent out Dec. 30. ●
orlandoweekly.com
In a farewell column published online on the same day, Dyer said that he started the publication in 1994, “fueled by a clear vision of what I wanted the newspaper to be.” His goal, he writes, was to cast a spotlight on the “richness of the gay and lesbian experience” by giving the LGBT community a serious news outlet. “I come from a generation that grew up believing that a gay ‘lifestyle’ involved shadowy bars, camp humor, transient relationships and guilty sex,” Dyer writes. “I wanted it to be more. Watermark would be my proof.” You can read Dyer’s complete farewell column in this week’s print issue of Watermark or online at watermark. com. – Erin Sullivan
Newsroom staff takes buyouts at Orlando Sentinel If you’re a regular reader of the Orlando Sentinel, you may have noticed some missing bylines lately. That’s because Tribune Publishing offered longtime staffers voluntary buyouts late last year, and according to WMFE 90.7 News, 14
Sentinel newsroom employees accepted the offer. In a memo sent to employees in October, Tribune Publishing announced that it would offer buyouts to help the company “execute on its strategic plan, which includes reducing costs.” In November, the Chicago Tribune reported that the company had approved buyouts for 7 percent of its 7,000 employees; those with at least one year of experience with the company would receive one week of base pay for every year they had put in, with a cap of one full year’s pay. “We are investing in digital products, technology and talent to move the company forward,” the October memo reads. “To accomplish and continue this, we must adapt our current cost structure and business model to meet the changing times.” Among the Sentinel staffers who took the buyout were columnist and editorial writer Darryl Owens, opinions editor Mike Lafferty (who quipped on Twitter that he was “calling it a career” on Dec. 21) and reporter Dan Tracy, who tweeted that he would pursue a career in freelance writing, research and analysis. – ES feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Why the demise of another for-profit college may not be such a loss after all BY Holl HollY V. KapHerr
With the closing of all 16 Le Cordon Bleu culinary schools, including the Orlando campus, one writer reflects on her experience in for-profit education, both as a student an instructor, and what it means for the future of for-profit college students, instructors and the country.
I
n August of 2005, I took a class called “College Success” at Le Cordon Bleu in Chicago. Never mind that I had already proven successful in college; I’d graduated with a bachelor’s degree from a four-year private university the previous May. But yet, here I was, paying for a class I didn’t need because it was part of the “core curriculum” of the Culinary Arts degree. One other girl in my class also had a bachelor’s degree, and we buddied up,
sat in the back of the room, and listened as all of the recent high-school grads shared why they had decided to enroll in culinary school. Almost every single student responded the same way: “I want to be the next Emeril.” It was uncanny, really, how many of these young people had obviously eaten up the same overcooked lines: “You could be the next Emeril! You could be on TV! BAM!” This was even before the Cooking Channel spun off from Food Network, before food bloggers became household names, before the celeb-chef mega-merchandise, before the now-ubiquitous reality TV cooking competitions. (Bravo’s Top Chef, now in its 13th season,
making $10.50 an hour. Not nearly enough to cover my monthly $300 student loan payment on the initial $35,000 investment that my Le Cordon Bleu counselor was more than confident I’d be able to repay quickly – not to mention still feed, clothe and house myself. I was still within my six-month grace period for deferment when I decided to leave my depressing little paycheck and finish the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing I’d started at Northwestern while I was still at Le Cordon Bleu. So, I called up Sallie Mae (aka They Who Must Not Be Named) and told them I was going back to school.
debuted the following year.) I hadn’t enrolled in culinary school to be a star chef. I wanted to be a food writer, and I felt that the best way to be able to intelligently write about food was to learn how it should be prepared. Made sense to me. I graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in 2006 and worked in restaurant kitchens after I returned from my externship in Paris, France, working as a personal chef. I really enjoyed the kitchen – the in-thetrenches rapport, the line cook shit-talk, the sights and smells and hustle and the physical exhaustion after a long shift. I loved it all. I’d still be happily searing scallops and torching crème brûlées today, but I was orlandoweekly.com

ass to the bank and apply for the loan yourself. The school won’t do it for you. For-profit schools, on the other hand, will get the loans for you and do all the work so it’s all too easy to get into a private loan that will bite you in the ass later. I had a full-time position with a decent salary and benefits, but paying $900 a month was just not going to happen. I got another job teaching a couple of sections of English Composition at night and online, and amped up my freelance writing career. I have essentially been working three jobs ever since, just to pay for that one associate’s degree. I’ll spare you the details, but my credit score is pretty much ruined forever. When people ask me if my for-profit culinary arts degree was worth the more than $100,000 in both federal and private loan debt, I still say yes, but only because I’ve fully accepted that this is my life and I will be paying these loans until I die. And maybe after that. Sorry, future kids. I still keep in touch with many of my classmates from Le Cordon Bleu Chicago. Out of the 75 students I graduated with, maybe three or four still work in the industry. (Tanya Baker, executive chef at the Boarding House in Chicago and fellow Le Cordon Bleu-Chi class of 2006 grad, was just nominated for a James Beard award last year – go, girl!) Their No. 1 reason for quitting the kitchen: the pay.
No problem, they said. Interest would still accrue (never mind how much), but I could put off paying my student loans until after I had graduated and found a full-time job. Perfecto. Three years and one MFA later, my initial principal had tripled. What. The. Hell. I had pretty much ignored my Sallie Mae account while I finished my third degree – no one called or emailed to let me know my debt was ballooning – and when they did let me know it was time to pay the piper, it was too late. Sounds like the typical student-loan complaint, right? Well, here’s the kicker: When you take out a loan for a for-profit college, you’re eligible for both public and private student loans, and regardless of your credit standing, you can usually get them (at least you could in 2004 when mine were disbursed). The problem is that if you can’t get federal loans, the majority of your loans will be private loans, which can be variable-rate (mine are at 12 percent right now, but have been as low as 3 percent) and are not eligible for income-based-repayment or any government programs meant to make student-loan debt manageable. When you apply for loans for a public school or nonprofit school, they don’t even suggest you apply for a private loan, except as a last resort – and then you have to drag your

One of my friends kept her job at a chain grocery store after graduation because she was making three times more as a cashier than she would in a restaurant kitchen. No-brainer. Unless you’re an executive chef, own your own place or have a management position at a corporate high-volume kitchen (like a resort or theme park or cruise ship), chances are you won’t make enough money to pay your loans right away. You don’t get out of culinary school and get a job running a kitchen, even though that’s what Le Cordon Bleu leads you to believe in their recruiting materials. You’ll start as a prep cook or on the cold line for a Hamilton an hour. According to U.S. Department of Education officials, for-profit colleges enroll only 11 percent of students nationally, yet they account for 44 percent of federal studentloan defaults. That’s because students are drawn to them with the promise of enhanced job-placement and workforceready skills – but no matter how ready you may be, the jobs just aren’t there for the taking, as the schools suggest. The department has tried to pull back the reins on this multibillion-dollar industry, in response to widespread complaints that for-profit colleges entice prospective students with the promise of high-paying jobs, then burden them with debts they can’t pay back at the actual average salary
in that field. The newly created “gainful employment” regulation requires schools to keep track of graduates’ performance in their degree field, and cuts off federal student-loan funding for career-training programs that consistently underperform. This rule applies to community colleges and public universities as well, but forprofit programs seem to have the worst showing under the regulation’s key metric, the debt-to-earnings ratio. And that’s why I think the for-profit college is a bad model for students. Exorbitant tuition fees are charged for career paths that won’t pay off, or even worse, that you won’t even use (and will still be forced to pay for) when you realize how tiny your paycheck will be. We reached out the media relations department at the Career Education Corporation, the company that owns Le Cordon Bleu’s U.S. schools, but the company didn’t respond to a request for a comment or statement on its situation. But in my experience, the for-profit college industry is equally venomous for its employees, specifically the teachers it employs. My chef-instructors were wonderful people who had worked in the industry for decades and wanted nothing more than to see us all carry the mantle. The one thing they all had in common, though, was their disdain for the changes in the culinary curriculum
CoVer STory
once Le Cordon Bleu bought the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, the same year I entered the school. It’s a common tune among well-seasoned restaurateurs and chef-owners that culinary school graduates come out with no mastery of the craft. They have to absorb so much information in so little time (about 15 classes in 10 months) that they might as well have started peeling onions on the line rather than spend all that money on a piece of paper. Ouch. I’ve had my own firsthand experience as a for-profit college instructor, too. Between full-time jobs in the publishing industry (in this line of work, you have to be prepared for these things), I worked at Full Sail University as a course director in one of their master’s degree programs, a brand-new online graduate degree called “New Media Journalism.” The pay was great, my colleagues were smart and funny – I still know so many wonderful instructors who work at Full Sail – but I was constantly berated for being too hard on my students, constantly fielding phone calls from angry students and parents (yes, parents), and constantly asked by my department to “dumb down” (their words) my course material. My supervisor finally pulled the plug on my for-profit teaching career. Looking back, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I no longer felt like I was helping grant a degree to students who wouldn’t be able to compete in the marketplace and who would eventually find themselves in the same position as me, with an unmarketable degree in a field that didn’t pay anything. Just as a Le Cordon Bleu degree doesn’t make you an instant “new Emeril,” you don’t graduate from Full Sail and immediately get a job as a big-time music producer or top game designer – or as a highly paid “new media journalist.” (Is there such a thing?) You start at the bottom. You make slightly above minimum wage. You live paycheck-to-paycheck for a lot longer than the six months Sallie Mae gives you. And once you start deferring those loans, the interest piles on. Goodbye, marriage. Adieu, first home. Sayonara, potential offspring. Adios, secure retirement. Ciao, small-business loan. This is all very bleak, I know. There’s hope, though, and it’s the Christmas wish I’ve made every year since the Bureau of Consumer Protection was established in 2011. This year, I feel more hopeful than ever that President Obama will grant it, like he did for thousands of students who were swindled by Corinthian Colleges (the company that owned Everest, Florida Metropolitan
University and other for-profit schools). Cancel those loans. All of them. When Corinthian Colleges closed all their campuses and filed for bankruptcy in May 2015, they also settled a class-action lawsuit and relieved former students of millions of dollars in student loans. On Dec. 3, 2015, President Obama canceled more of those loans (only federal loans, though), bringing the total forgiven loans to over $100 million. When you land on the Department of Education’s website, there’s now a section for closed-school discharge. There are extensive criteria, but if they add Le Cordon Bleu to the list of failed for-profit programs, the chances are looking good for relief. Why should this matter to those of you with degrees that actually pay off, or those who skipped the degree mill altogether? Student loan debt has mounted to more than $1.2 trillion, and is stopping the most cash-strapped generation of Americans from progressing, which means another depressed economy is seemingly inevitable once our parents’ generation settles into their depleted 401(k)s and stops spending. I can only hope that, for the sake of the friends I graduated with and the ones who graduated from Le Cordon Bleu schools both before and after I did, that same school-closure clause will apply to us as well – so that someday, we can realize our futures without the sextuple-digit education costs we’ve incurred and support ethical and high-quality businesses in our community and around the world. Why, yes, I’d really like to buy your artisan letterpress stationery for $15 a sheet, but I have this student loan that’s really a drag, ya know? It sounds melodramatic, but it’s not just for us – it’s for the country. Student loan debt is the next big bubble to burst, and as the closing of so many for-profit colleges has shown, unlike the banks, no college built on such an unethical model is too big to fail. As for me, I just got married to a man who loves me despite my credit score. We are trying to buy our first home (unsuccessfully, for now, but we’re optimistic). And I have three full English Comp I classes for next semester, which means I’ll actually be able to make my payments to Sallie Mae, or Navient, or Nelnet, or whoever is “servicing” my debt now. I’m looking forward to the day when President Obama (or President Sanders – fingers crossed) sends me that letter that says I can dream about a financially secure future again. Until then, let me know if you have any odd jobs I can pick up. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

‘my two worlDs,’ mixeD meDiA PriNt By omAr richArDsoN
The MDCA makes its home in a charming brick building just around the corner from Mount Dora’s main drag, on leafy Fifth Avenue. Processes and Concepts brings together a dozen artists from Florida and beyond who work in the medium of printmaking – a discipline which contains a multitude of sub-disciplines, including monotype, screenprinting, lithography, woodcut and block printing, etching and digital imaging. Orlando artist Donne Bitner works in one-of-a-kind monotypes, made with oil inks and plexiglass, while Winter Park’s David Hunter creates classic etchings by rubbing ink into drawings etched onto metal plates. Some of the works here are pure examples of the form while others are more layered, textured or experimental, illustrating the complex range of printmaking techniques. The opening reception is part of Mount Dora’s 2nd Friday Art Stroll.
CHEERS TO 20 GREAT YEARS opening reception 4-7 p.m. saturday, Jan. 9 | exhibition through Feb. 20 | Arts on Douglas, 123 Douglas st., New smyrna Beach | 386-428-1133 | artsondouglas. net | free
Arts on Douglas was founded in 1996 by Doris Leeper, the same woman who founded the Atlantic Center for the Arts, and in 2014 the gallery cemented its connection to the ACA as a partner. Housed in what was originally a 1930s-era Ford showroom, Arts on Douglas maintains a strong focus on Florida artists; the newer, rawer room (Alt_Space) is an exciting place to see contemporary work and experimental shows, while the main gallery exhibits a stable of established professionals. Cheers to 20 Great Years collects work by eight artists who have been represented by Arts on Douglas since its founding, a strong and varied crew fundamental to the gallery’s success: Heidi Edwards, Ed Harris, Rodney Lints, Tim Ludwig, Mary Schimpff Webb, Trish Thompson, Anna Tomczak and Enzo Torcoletti. The reception will include a three-piece jazz trio, light hors d’oeuvres, and cocktails and champagne to celebrate not just these eight but also the hundreds of artists who’ve hung here over the years.

ather than having one concentrated gallery neighborhood, the Orlando area is home to scattered pockets and one-offs. True, Downtown’s Third Thursday gallery hops are becoming more and more popular, and thus attracting more and more new exhibition spaces radiating out from the 3rdThu home base, CityArts Factory. And “art strolls” – which, to be truthful, are more often drink-wine-andshop strolls – proliferate throughout the city. But some of the region’s true gems for seeing contemporary art lie further afield, requiring the commitment of a longer drive. For instance, DeLand’s Museum of Art has shown work by seminal masters like Richard Anuszkiewicz, Sandro Chia and Duane Hanson in recent years. The Southeastern Museum of Photography, at Daytona State College in Daytona Beach, is one of only 13 museums in the country dedicated solely to photography, and regularly shows some of the finest photographers working today. And New Smyrna Beach is home to the Atlantic Center for the Arts, a visionary multidisciplinary artistin-residence facility, often the first (and sometimes the only) glimpse of Florida for its internationally renowned master artists. Here we suggest a couple of shows opening this week in farther-flung towns. Maybe make a day trip out of it? Friday night in Mount Dora could include a visit to the Mount Dora Center for the Arts for the opening of Printmaking: Processes and Concepts as part of the 2nd Friday Art Stroll, as well as an amble along the Palm Island Boardwalk and a glass of wine at Pisces Rising. Or a Saturday in New Smyrna Beach might find you looking at Arts on Douglas’ Cheers to 20 Great Years group show in that loose, exalted yet sandy state brought on by a day beside the ocean. Energize for the longish ride home with an excellent cup of coffee from Third Wave Café on Flagler Avenue.
PRINTMAKING: PROCESSES AND CONCEPTS opening reception 6-8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 8 | exhibition through Feb. 19 | mount Dora center for the Arts, 138 e. Fifth Ave., mount Dora | 352-383-0880 | mountdoracenterforthearts.org | free

BUTT KAPINSKI
BY SETH KUBERSKY
When it’s this warm out, we can’t help looking forward to spring and the Orlando Fringe New Year’s should normally be a day for bundling up in winter wear and warming yourself by a cozy television. But when 2016 arrives with temperatures in the mid-80s, one’s mind naturally leaps ahead to spring. What luck, then, that the Orlando Fringe festival, which celebrates its silver anniversary in May, stepped up with a perfect hangover cure for this hot holiday: a cool evening of comedy at Orlando Shakes with one of last year’s Fest’s best and most bizarre acts. At the 2015 Fringe, I called Butt Kapinski a “chaotic, bewildering experience that is often extremely odd but never boring.” For the gonzo gumshoe’s “Very Satanic Christmas” encore (Jan. 1-3), performer Deanna Fleysher doubled down on the audaciously intimate audience participation that made her first Orlando appearance a must-see (and must-squirm) hit. Fleysher’s private investigator alter ego is back, still
sporting a back-mounted personal spotlight sprouting from his Sam Spade overcoat and spouting noir narration with a speech impediment that puts Peter Cook (as The Princess Bride’s clergyman) to shame. His haphazard investigation techniques are also intact, mostly involving interrogation of the motley riff-raff who make up his audience, whose seats are scattered around the stage to ensure no viewer is safe from being ensnared in the story. For this Christmas tale, Butt bumbled into a case even more lurid than his last, tracking a missing child through an underworld of motorcycle gangs, lesbian orgies and surprisingly sympathetic pedophiles, all culminating in an intervention by Satan himself – with all the supporting roles played by the spectators. Last time, I got a lap dance as Kapinski’s hooker girlfriend; this time I had a far less glamorous role as an exploding spleen, but at least I wasn’t the guy getting his head licked. What makes this more than just an outrageous adult twist on a typical audience participation storytelling show are the meta moments, as when Fleysher drops out of character to lament her personal life or
lecture on the history of Epicureanism and Anton LaVey. The show concludes with an atheistic call to arms that revealed a fascinating divide in the audience. Some of these tonal shifts were disturbing and uncomfortable in a theatrically satisfying way, and I felt they were better integrated than in the last production, but the primary plot seemed even more perfunctory this time around. Kapinski’s comeback, which included a performance workshop with Fleysher on Jan. 4, was the first 2016 installment of the Fringe Year Round series, which continues Feb. 5-7 with Martin Dockery and Vanessa Quesenelle in their surreal seriocomic plays The Pit and Moonlight After Midnight, which we awarded the 2015 Best Show Critics Choice Award. On Leap Day, the annual Fringe fundraiser will feature Fiely Matias and Dennis Giacino (Orlando’s original “Oops Guys”) with songs from their past hits Asian Sings the Blues and Disenchanted, plus a sneak peek at their newest project. Of course, as the festival’s recent tagline says, “Anyone Can Fringe,” and especially this year, everyone seems to want to get out of the audience and on stage. A record number of applications necessarily resulted in one of the most heartbreaking show selection lotteries in memory, with many of my favorite veterans left low on the wait-list. I myself pulled some of the names out of the proverbial hat (actually a bucket) and can attest to the fact that it was completely random, if only by the evidence that my wife got listed nearly last. But while I’m sympathetic to the proven performers who weren’t picked, I’m excited to see fresh, unknown talents get an opportunity. And though the lottery is over, it isn’t the only way into the Fringe. Some artists that did get in are holding open auditions, such as writer Michael Wanzie, who is reading for his drama In Close Quarters: A Story of Love and War at Orlando Shakes on Jan. 9; visit wanzie.com for details. Alternatively, create a site-specific show under the Bring Your Own Venue umbrella, submit art to the Visual Fringe or volunteer for the Festival. Some shows I’m excited to see didn’t enter the lottery at all. For the 25th Fringe, the Orlando Rep’s Universal Theatre will be dedicated to Fringe Teens, which will present shows from top local high schools every Saturday. Fringe is also seeking donors to fund $500 sponsorships for each school district. Some of the planned productions seem quite precocious (James Brendlinger’s Lake Howell troupe is tackling Talk Radio), so I look forward to seeing the next generation of Fringe stars in action. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

I love Southeast Asian, Italian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Any future expansion plans? Naples, Florida, in the coming weeks. The restaurant – Naples Y’all and Si Bar by Chef Art Smith – will be Southern-American with an Italian accent. [We’ve learned since this interview that the name is a work in progress, but it will contain “by Art Smith.”] How do you juggle raising four kids and jet-setting between the 19 restaurants you own or are a partner in? Having semi-free-range kids in a small town helps. So do three nannies, Grandmother Addie Mae and tons of relatives. It takes the whole town of Jasper.
14 questions for chef art Smith We talk farm-to-fork with the sixth-generation Floridian on his Disney Homecoming By Faiyaz Kara

rt Smith is no stranger to the limelight – he gained fame as Oprah Winfrey’s personal chef, appeared on Top Chef and Top Chef Masters, has won two James Beard Awards, is involved in numerous restaurants, and has cooked for many heads of state, including heads of this state Jeb Bush and Bob Graham. Now he’ll be a part of the Disney family when his latest restaurant venture – Homecoming: Florida Kitchen and Southern Shine – opens in Disney Springs next summer. (All this while raising four kids with his longtime partner, Jesus Salgueiro.) We spoke to the affable chef about his Disney venture, and discussed food trends, faith, same-sex parenting, pork, vegan-friendly restaurants and Vladimir Putin. Orlando Weekly: Your new restaurant – Homecoming: Florida Kitchen and Southern Shine – is quite a mouthful. Why the long name? Smith: [laughs] I just call it “Home” for short because I’m back home in Florida. I’m a sixth-generation Floridian who grew
Your children were the first from same-sex parents to have their baptism blessed by Pope Francis and performed at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago. How did that come about, and why was it important for you to have your children baptized into the Catholic faith? My [partner] Jesus is Catholic. I’m Southern Baptist. I love Pope Francis and we love the new Cardinal of Chicago. I love the ceremony and always felt God in the majestic Catholic Church. They love and adore us and insisted that it be there. Pope Francis even gave each child individual signed blessings.
Florida Kitchen and Southern Shine? Dessert. I’m building a bakery in my quaint little hometown of Jasper. It has less than 2,000 folks. They once baked a 12-layer chocolate cake for President George H. W. Bush – well, they’ll bake it again for Walt Disney World daily from the bakery I’m building. I’m training future bakers, too. And moonshine, chilled on the rocks or served with fresh-squeezed Florida orange juice, or spiked in iced tea with fresh mint plucked from our garden.
Worst food trend? Pork! I am porked out. We need more plant-based menus and vegan-friendly restaurants, which Homecoming will be.
up on (and still owns) our family’s ancestral farm in Jasper, Florida. We ate from the garden; raised our own chicken, pork and beef; and my great-grandfather made moonshine.
Ah, that explains the “Shine” in the name. What do you feel you can bring to Orlando’s burgeoning food scene? I’m excited to bring my philosophy that a food can not only nourish folks, but be used to elicit great change. We will have an Orlando How often can we expect to see you chapter of Common Threads [Smith’s charity focused on educating children on cultural in the kitchen? I’ll be there every month.

I have a through cooking and the arts], as well as a home nearby at the Mystic Dunes Resort. chapter of my accredited garden-to-kitchen school. No, I don’t play golf, but maybe I should?
Next cuisine to hit it big? Vegan. What famous person were you most nervous cooking for? President Nelson Mandela. He was such an iconic figure. Oprah teased me that I was star-struck.
One person you really want to cook for? The Pope one day, but how about someone complicated like President Putin? Maybe I could turn him? [laughs] Food has power! I’m a chef with the State Department’s Diplomatic Culinary Partnership. I’ve cooked in Israel and in Palestine. I’ve cooked in the Baltic States, and I’ll be cooking for Mariela Castro [Raul Castro’s daughter] in Havana, Cuba. I love her commitment to When you’re not immersed in the equality.

What is it you hope to showcase to international visitors dining at your restaurant? That Walt Disney World is in the Sunshine State and they need to taste Florida when they visit. I want to showcase my Florida: oak trees, Spanish moss, the Suwannee River, cool crystal-clear springs, fried chicken, chicken ’n’ dumplings, a mess of greens, every field pea known to Southerndom, lots of barbecue and endless sides.
What restaurants do you frequent when you’re in Orlando? I adore Via Napoli at Epcot and love the eggplant Parmesan, and I adore chef Joe Darrigo Jr. The Ravenous Pig – sweet, scruffy kids and great food.

Whichever you choose, this drink is all liquor, so give it a good long stir or a 10-count shake to infuse a bit of water. (Serving it over ice really does affect the flavor, so unless you’re going to drink very quickly, don’t. But if you have a gulper on hand, use one very large piece of ice.)

shed its fussy reputation and slipped onto cutting-edge cocktail menus – rather than quaffing a glass with the other gentlemen in the library after dinner at Downton Abbey, you can enjoy it now at trendy Winerave events in Los Angeles or at cocktail joints in Williamsburg and Portland. So far as Remix goes, there are a few classic cocktails that incorporate port – and the best one I’ve tasted by far, despite its unfortunate name, is the Suburban. (It’s named after a horse race, not a supporter of urban flight.) It’s a strong, rich, classic 1:2:3 recipe that demands to be sipped, every bit as muscular as a Manhattan. If I may make
he end of every year is rife with trend stories, especially in the food and drink press, and so it was that I learned (or was informed, by several sources) that port is 2016’s Next Big Thing in the cocktail world. It’s not a new assertion, but also not a surprising one. Port is available in a wide range of varieties, each with its own flavor profile – tawny ports are nutty and dry, ruby ports fruity and rich, white port crisp and zippy, and there are several more types to explore, if you’re inclined. The Portuguese wine (technically fortified wine, with an ABV around 20 percent) has in recent years
my own trend prediction, I forecast a rise in bartenders mixing Suburbans in 2016. They’ll probably do as I did, though, and put their own twist on the recipe. The inspiration to look for a port cocktail was my luck in being able to try a bottle of Angel’s Envy (courtesy of Will Walker, proprietor of Will’s Pub and Lil Indies) over the New Year’s holiday. It’s an 86-proof bourbon aged in port barrels named for the “angel’s share,” the liquor that evaporates through the wood of the barrels while aging. The port-barrel aging lends a figgy overtone to the silky-smooth bourbon. Combining it with Hum Botanical Spirit, a hibiscus liqueur with complex cardamom overtones, makes for a ruby-toned cocktail similar to the Suburban, though there’s no actual port involved. Maybe that’s safer for now, for city dwellers.

Bavaro’s Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria Not your average pizza and pasta joint, this Winter Springs hotspot draws them in for Neapolitan-style pies and house-made, hand-cut tagliatelle and ravioli. The star is the Neapolitan-made brick oven, which churns out perfectly blistered pizzas, be it your basic margherita or the weighted and eggy carciofi con uovo. A stellar Bolognese sauce highlights the tagliatelle; to end without sampling either the cannoli or tiramisu would be a mistake. 1468 Tuskawilla Road, Winter Springs, 321-422-3600; $$$
Mark’s Caribbean Cuisine UCF-area jerk joint isn’t in the tidiest of strip malls, but the Jamaican fare is neato. Yes, the jerk chicken is top-notch, but the supremely tender oxtail stew is what regulars come back for. Plush cuts of goat in a heady curry are perfectly gratifying, as is traditional ackee and saltfish. Servers are friendly, but don’t expect to be wowed by the decor. 10034 University Blvd., 407-699-8800; $
Korea House The Colonial Drive outpost of Korea House is just as meat-centric as its Longwood counterpart. All-you-can-eat Korean barbecue is the clear choice for most patrons – given the quality of meat and the relatively low AYCE price, it’s easy to see why. Not up for barbecue?

El Patron Mexican Restaurant & Cantina Tourist sector Tex-Mex joint ups the ante somewhat with dishes bordering on gourmet. Must-order: mussels in a heavenly chorizo broth, though you won’t go wrong sampling the tacos (give duck al pastor a try). The plate of chile rellenos could feed a family. To end, housemade coconut tres leches will please. Open daily. 12167 S. Apopka Vineland Road, 407-238-5300; $$$
Pharmacy Pharmacy places an emphasis on creativity in the kitchen, as well as behind the bar. Start with one of the many “elixirs” – stiff, hand-crafted potions – before diving into such shareable options as roasted bone marrow with oxtail and chili-strawberry preserves or fried green tomato nuggets served over creamy corn curry. Mains vary by season, but what we ate – Swiss chard with sausage and pasta sleeves, and sea bass with a tableside pour of lemony Parmigiano broth – was superb. Drinks and dinner only. 8060 Via Dellagio Way, 407-985-2972; $$$$
The Boheme Restaurant Resplendent resto in the Grand Bohemian Hotel puts the “art” back in culinary arts, both in restaurant design and chef Laurent Hollaender’s creations. Escargots de Bourgogne play up Hollaender’s French heritage, but crispy fried smelt is the superlative starter. Current seasonal mains (roasted lamb loin; Maple Leaf Farms duck breast served with starfruit, spring forest mushrooms, Swiss chard and roasted marble potatoes) impress. 325 S. Orange Ave., 407-581-4700; $$$$
Capa Sexy rooftop resto at the Four Seasons shows off its style with Basque- and Spanish-inspired specialties and USDA Prime steaks. It’s hard to go wrong with any dish, but you’ll go right with hamachi crudo to start. Succulent roast duck with braised salsify, Florida peaches and pickled mustard seed is also a must. If beef is your craving, the bone-in filet is sublime, even if it sets you back $69. Desserts are all Instagram-worthy. Four Seasons Resort Orlando, 10100 Dream Tree Blvd., Lake Buena Vista, 407-313-7777; $$$$
Francesco’s Ristorante & Pizzeria Sicilian specialties star at this Maitland ristorante, with wood-fired brick-oven pizzas stealing the show. Pastas, like the beautifully plated penne Palermitana, are worth seeking out, but be wary of flavorless calamari steak. Hand-fashioned desserts like profiteroles and strawberry tiramisu make small service deficiencies more bearable. 400 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland, 407-960-5533; $$ n

Relentless Revenant Brutal, beautiful Western grabs hold and never lets go By Cameron m ei er
This is the fictionalized story of reallife fur trapper Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio), who is left for dead in the northwestern American wilderness in the 1820s following a bear attack. Clinging to the adage that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger – and more intent on revenge against those who abandoned you – Glass soldiers on, fighting nearly impossible odds. Iñárritu and co-writer Mark L. Smith, who based the screenplay on Michael Punke’s 2002 novel, keep the story remarkably simple. There are no elaborate subplots or attempts to truly understand the supporting characters. (Indeed, even Glass is rather one-dimensional.) Instead, they rely on arguably the most stunning visual storytelling of the year to convey their classic
The Revenant
HHHHH
y
ou never know what you’re gonna get with Alejandro González Iñárritu. From the gritty, gutwrenching 21 Grams to the anthological Babel to the tenderly tragic Biutiful, the Spanish director’s cinematic box of chocolates offers a wide variety. So if his masterpiece, Birdman, was a tasty darkchocolate concoction, The Revenant is a caramel-coated macadamia nut, beautiful but difficult to chew. Be prepared, or you’ll likely lose a tooth.

Western messages of perseverance, stamina, isolation and revenge. As with Birdman, one of the stars of this film is Emmanuel Lubezki’s cinematography. Having won the last two Oscars in that category, he has a chance for a third in a row, an unprecedented feat. Though his beautifully fluid camerawork may not suit this subject quite as well as it did in Birdman, it’s still stunning and is complemented nicely by some beautiful still shots and well-choreographed long takes. Lubezki’s work is made even more magical by Iñárritu’s insistence on natural light and real locations, with minimal use of CGI. Computer imagery is used almost exclusively to create animals, particularly the bear that pummels DiCaprio so badly that you wonder how the actor escaped injury. (Yes, he really was thrown around, apparently by wires or another apparatus, with the bear being added later. And, no, the animated animal does not rape him, as some irresponsible websites have reported.) For all its beauty, The Revenant is a
brutal film that demands much of its viewers throughout its grueling, methodical 156 minutes. The emotional grit is often soothed by mysticism and an embrace of Native American values, but one should still be prepared for a healthy heaping of guts and glory. DiCaprio gives a bit of a one-note performance, but, after all, this is essentially a one-note film. Still, his total commitment to the role and almost unbearable intensity (plus his rumored on-set suffering) will likely garner him a sixth Oscar nomination. Tom Hardy, as Glass’ nemesis, mumbles his way through another captivating rendering and is balanced by Domhnall Gleeson (as the two men’s superior), who is slightly miscast but, as usual, adds a nice sensitivity. “As long as you can still grab a breath, you fight,” Glass tells his son. As an audience member, you don’t have to fight, but you still must remember to breathe, which you may find difficult during this relentless roller coaster of cinematic survival. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Opening this Week The Forest One of the things that has always disappointed me about the movie version of You Only Live Twice is that it omits a really fun plot detail from the book: the garden of death that Blofeld maintains on his property, affording the local Japanese all manner of creative ways to commit suicide. Seeing that sucker immortalized on screen could have been one of the cinematic highlights of 1967; oh, what might have been. Now, nearly half a century later, we have a shot at a reasonable facsimile, thanks to the inexhaustible creative demands of the January cheapo horror industry. Apparently, there’s a real-life analogue to Blofeld’s garden of death at the base of Mount Fuji: a forest into which the despondent wander to end it all. In this new film, an American woman ventures into those woods to find her missing sister – because no way is an American studio going to wager a dime on a movie in which only foreigners are in jeopardy. Starting to think you’d rather just read You Only Live Twice again? Maybe this additional little detail will help you make up your mind: “From an original idea by David S. Goyer.” (PG-13) orlandoweekly.com

10 awesome concerts coming to Orlando in 2016 By Ashley BelAnger
S
etting aside the major festivals that for most of us are a major yawn (sorry, Okeechobee Fest, and sorry, Orlando, for Moonstone’s meh lineup), Florida’s got a sunny concert schedule on the horizon for choosy music fans. Here are the 10 concerts spanning Orlando’s best venues that we are maximum stoked for (in date order), plus a little info on why we think you should snag a ticket too. (If you want to know about more fun stuff up ahead, remember you can always keep an eye on future shows with our regular feature Down the Road; see page 33). What stage even needs a spotlight when there are this many glaring reasons to make your way into a pit? 9 p.m. Jan. 15 at Will’s Pub, $10-$12 Weirdos unite to catch this seminal no wave act from the late ’70s, featuring frontman John D. Morton (Electric Eels) reviving that exciting agitation with Craig Bell (of fellow Cleveland legends Rocket From the Tombs) and Matthew Harris. The balance between blissful rock-outs (like “Transmography”) and spiky antisocial atonal stuff on their interpretation, Albert Ayler’s Ghosts Live at the Yellow Ghetto, will offer disparate rationale for freaking out.
Torche
8 p.m. Jan. 22 at Will’s Pub, $12-$15 Torche focused their doom pop last year on new record Restarter, and return to prove a simple lashing is still a force to be reckoned with. Expect a sweaty up-swell in the pit.

Chris Corsano and Bill Orcutt BY B AO L E - H U U
For TLU, 2016 immediately starts
off on a new but solemn foot. This issue is Ashley Belanger’s last as my editor. No other has done as much to make the words in this column as robustly reinforced visually as her. For that, she gets a hand on the heart from me. But it’s bigger than that. Covering Orlando’s music scene is a mission I take pretty seriously, so never would I call someone a major champion of it lightly. More than just an editor to me, she’s been a great writing partner. And in collaborating with her on big, multi-faceted local stories, I can attest firsthand that she is one of the most invested and tireless advocates of our scene I’ve ever met. Ashley’s a true believer. The art is the sun of any music scene, but it’s only sustained when there are enough people like her. To both the paper and the scene at large, she’s been a gale of fresh air, and her footprint is deep. She’s earned a big salute from us all, but none deeper than mine. Thank you, Ashley. The next whiskey’s on me.

The recent Chris Corsano and Bill Orcutt performance (Dec. 28, Gallery at Avalon Island) was a lucky convergence of many forces: music, minds, holiday schedules. And even though it was sort of an unexpected show even for its chief presenters, the Civic Minded 5, they just couldn’t sleep on fate. Luckily, nor could the full house in attendance. Individually, the duo packs heavy experimental credentials, with guitarist Orcutt a principal in Miami noise-rock
There was the harbinger of Orcutt’s amp … turned to face the wall, and it still came with a public warning. icons Harry Pussy and drummer Corsano a collaborator to a dizzying list of titans like Björk, Thurston Moore and Jim O’Rourke. And their gestalt was a transmission from the edge. Instead of the usual gallery floor that’s used for the In-Between Series, this show was placed in the upstairs room that used to be DMAC. Invoking noise, jazz and improvisation, Corsano opened with an individual display of experimental sound ingenuity. Involving a full drum set alongside a whole bag of other items – metal, cup, string, bow, horn, plank – the result was an entire world of sound beyond conventional percussion. With that setup, I probably cleaved readers here right in two: the intrigued and the dismissive. To the latter, I get it, and I sympathize. But be clear, Corsano’s playing is a thing of highly structured movement and skill despite its improvisational mind. This is not some conceptual but undisciplined art vomit. His rhythmic command is certainly exceptional. What puts him on
another stratum, however, is his expressional breadth. I like drums a lot, and it doesn’t take more than good beat architecture to do it for me. But while most drummers focus on structural exercises in their solos, his performance – all uninterrupted 20 minutes of it – was a complete sonic piece unto itself, with not just bones but body, head, voice and soul. And it was a revelation. After a brief intermission, the two assembled – no, collided – for the ensemble set. Before even a note of it was struck, however, there was the harbinger of Orcutt’s amp, which was covered in soundproofing acoustic foam, turned to face the wall and still came with a public warning of its force from the man himself. Once he laid in, it was loud as advertised. More than the volume, though, Orcutt’s extremity really comes from his attack and intent. Like a noise cowboy, his avantgarde sound invokes punk, blues and folk in rare and outside ways. The onslaught is immediate and undeniable. But even while his fingers freak it out and rev the nerves, there’s a surrounding atmosphere and tone to his playing. Sometimes it’s drone, sometimes it’s twang, but it’s all evocative of a habitable space beyond just pure technique. It’s also consuming. Although not on mic, Orcutt would often become so poured into what he was doing that he would verbally wail along to his guitar playing. And with its surgical creativity and fury, Corsano’s drumming was both the sturdy framework that anchored everything and an equal detonating force. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK
Wednesday, 6
Orlando Story Club: Resolution! LITERARY The word “resolution” is a double-edged sword. When people use it around this time of year, they’re usually talking about their plans for the future – plans to be better or improve themselves in some way. But resolution can also denote the end of something, whether it’s the solution to a problem or the thrilling dénouement of a novel, film or piece of music. This meeting of Orlando Story Club, its first since April 2015, takes “Resolution!” as its theme. Whether you’re firmly resolved to stand and tell a story of your own, or you’re easing into a resolution to do more public speaking, this is a congenial gathering full of laughter, food and drink, plus proceeds benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Orlando. – Jessica Bryce Young

MUSIC Probably one of the best things to come out of Brevard County, the fuzz-punk musings of Flashlights will reign supreme at Punk on the Patio’s debut. The monthly concert series, created by Foundation Presents, is an effort by the indie concert promoter to inject more local music into downtown’s show offerings. The night isn’t restricted to punk, though; the indie-pop melodies of the three-piece band Out Go the Lights and guitar riffs of Slumberjack will also be there to entertain. The $5 cover comes with a free drink, if you need more enticement to sweeten up this event. – Monivette Cordeiro
THEATER Playwright Mark St. Germain seems to be fascinated by the human brain in all its quirkiness. His plays Freud’s Last Session and Becoming Dr. Ruth have psychologists as protagonists, but in his latest play, it’s more a matter of observing psychological disorder in process. When an awkward Aspie approaches his angry neighbor (a badly injured dancer) for dance lessons, both experience a wide range of human emotion: embarrassment, bitterness, fear, amusement and eventually affection. This production of Dancing Lessons stars Steven Lane (The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, Into the Woods) and Ginger Lee McDermott (Bad Dog) as the mismatched pair, and it’s the Orlando Shakes directorial debut for Cynthia White, OST’s director of new play development. – JBY
Friday-Sunday, 8-10
SILVERSUN PICKUPS
Jon Lovitz
Best known for his performances as part of Saturday Night Live’s more memorable casts, where he coined the phrase “that’s the ticket,” or as Emperor Todd Spengo in the less-memorable cult classic Mom and Dad Save the World, Jon Lovitz graces the stage of the Orlando Improv for a special engagement tonight through Sunday. Lovers of old-school deadpan comedy from the likes of Norm MacDonald, Kevin Nealon and Dennis Miller should brave the touristy part of town for a night of cheeky humor by this living legend of unremarkable movies. Get in the mood for a good laugh by downloading one of “The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club & Podcast Theatre” recordings or streaming The Ridiculous 6, now on Netflix. – Justin Braun

Nile
MUSIC Hailing from Greenville, South Carolina, Ozzfest vets Nile rose to prominence in the mid-’90s opening for heavy music gods like Obituary but distinguishing themselves from dimmer metalheads with a cinematic flourish that led many to claim Nile brought death metal back from the dead. (That makes maybe one zombie trend music heads don’t roll their eyes into the backs of their heads over?) With 2015’s What Should Not Be Unearthed, the band beckons their namesake Egyptian muse in what might be their most spiritual release yet – but don’t go expecting some ponderous metal-gospel; pounders like “Call to Destruction” crush the windpipe on typical evangelist-like fodder. Intense imagery, deliberate philosophical exploration and the legacy of Nile fuse to create what’s possibly their heaviest record to date, in subject and style alike. – Ashley Belanger

Silversun Pickups MUSIC If you like the Bravery, Shiny Toy Guns, We Were Promised Jetpacks and Manchester Orchestra, then you’ll love the textural alternative indie pop of Silversun Pickups. Hailing from the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles, the band known for its driving rhythms and ethereal melodies plays selections from their most recent album, Better Nature. Produced by Jacknife Lee (of U2, Two Door Cinema Club and Crystal Castles fame) and mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Alan Moulder (known for his work with My Bloody Valentine and Nine Inch Nails), the album is the debut release from the band’s own New Machine Recordings. Self-described as “harmonious and intimate, high-flying and deeply personal,” Silversun Pickups are a perfect sonic experience for emotional hipsters who prefer to dance the night away wearing worn-out Chuck Taylors, skinny jeans and T-shirts from bands you’ve never heard of but should. – JB

Total Punk Turnbuckle Tuesdays Sick of bands trying to twist your arm to pay a cover to chill at Will’s? Total Punk’s new weekly hangout might turn your head. It’s called Turnbuckle Tuesdays, and it’s totally free every week. Plan to shotgun your Cigar City can, then crush it on your forehead like the true brute you are, while iconic vintage wrestling videos from the ’80s and ’90s slam against the screens and Total Punk’s stamped garage punk powerbombs your eardrums. On certain weeks, expect the occasional band to turn out too. Total Punk promises to pad the rest of the calendar with tasteless movie screenings to ensure this new night is a piledriver to any other time-suck that might come up. – Ashley Belanger

inclination to shield yourself from natural forces, or to avoid direct contact with primal sensuality. I hope you won’t do much of that in 2016. In my opinion, you need a lot of face-to-face encounters with life in its raw state. Symbolically speaking, this should be a non-umbrella year.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) John Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962. His novel Of Mice and Men helped win him the award, but it required extra persistence. When he’d almost finished the manuscript, he went out on a date with his wife. While they were gone, his puppy Toby ripped his precious pages into confetti. As mad as he was, he didn’t punish the dog, but got busy on a rewrite. Later he considered the possibility that Toby had served as a helpful literary critic. The new edition of Of Mice and Men was Steinbeck’s breakout book. I’m guessing that in recent months you have received comparable assistance – although you may not realize it was assistance until later this year. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Remember back to what your life was like during the first nine months of 2004. I suspect that you fell just short of fulfilling a dream. It’s possible you were too young to have the power you needed. Or maybe you were working on a project that turned out to be pretty good but not great. Maybe you were pushing to create a new life for yourself but weren’t wise enough to make a complete breakthrough. Almost 12 years later, you have returned to a similar phase in your long-term cycle. You are better equipped to do what you couldn’t quite do before: Create the masterpiece, finish the job, rise to the next level. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) To become a skillful singer, you must learn to regulate your breath. You’ve got to take in more oxygen than usual for extended periods, and do it in ways that facilitate rather than interfere with the sounds coming out of your mouth. When you’re beginning, it feels weird to exert so much control over an instinctual impulse, which previously you’ve done unconsciously. Later, you have to get beyond your self-conscious discipline so you can reach a point where the proper breathing happens easily and gracefully. Although you may not be working to become a singer in 2016, I think you will have comparable challenges: 1) To make conscious an activity that has been unconscious; 2) To refine and cultivate that activity; 3) To allow your consciously-crafted approach to become unselfconscious again. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Ancient humans didn’t “invent” fire, but rather learned about it from nature and then figured out how to produce it as needed. Ropes had a similar origin. Our ancestors employed long vines made of tough fiber as primitive ropes, and eventually got the idea to braid and knot the vines together for greater strength. This technology was used to hunt, climb, pull, fasten and carry. It was essential to the development of civilization. I predict that 2016 will bring you opportunities that have metaphorical resemblances to the early rope. Your task will be to develop and embellish on what nature provides. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) British author Anthony Trollope (18151882) had a day job with the postal service until he was in his 50s. For years he awoke every morning at 5:30 and churned out 2,500 words before heading to work. His goal was to write two or three novels a year, a pace he came close to achieving. “A small daily task, if it really be daily,” he wrote in his autobiography, “will beat the labors of a spasmodic Hercules.” I recommend that you borrow from his strategy in 2016. Be regular and disciplined and diligent as you practice the art of gradual, incremental success. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Umbrellas shelter us from the rain, saving us from the discomfort of getting soaked and the embarrassment of bad hair. They also protect us from the blinding light and sweltering heat of the sun. I’m very much in favor of these practical perks. But when umbrellas appear in your nightly dreams, they may have a less positive meaning. They can indicate an
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Around the world, an average of 26 languages go extinct every year. But it increasingly appears that Welsh will not be one of them. It has enjoyed a revival in the past few decades. In Wales, it’s taught in many schools, appears on road signs and is used in some mobile phones and computers. Is there a comparable phenomenon in your life? A tradition that can be revitalized and should be preserved? A part of your heritage that may be useful to your future? A neglected aspect of your birthright that deserves to be reclaimed? Make it happen in 2016. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Fourteenth-century author Geoffrey Chaucer produced a collection of stories known as The Canterbury Tales. It became a seminal text of English literature even though he never finished it. The most influential book ever written by theologian Thomas Aquinas was a work he gave up on before it was completed. The artist Michelangelo never found the time to put the final touches on numerous sculptures and paintings. Why am I bringing this theme to your attention? Because 2016 will be an excellent time to wrap up long-term projects you’ve been working on – and also to be at peace with abandoning those you can’t. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A bottle of Chateau Cheval Blanc wine from 1947 sold for $304,000. Three bottles of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild 1869 went for $233,000 apiece. The mystique about aged wine provokes crazy behavior like that. But here’s a more mundane fact: Most wine deteriorates with age, and should be sold within a few years of being bottled. I’m thinking about these things as I meditate on your long-term future, Sagittarius. My guess is that your current labor of love will reach full maturity in the next 18 to 20 months. This will be a time to bring all your concentration and ingenuity to bear on making it as good as it can be. By September 2017, you will have ripened it as much as it can be ripened. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) In her poem “Tree,” California poet Jane Hirshfield speaks of a young redwood tree that’s positioned next to a house. Watch out! It grows fast – as much as three feet per year. “Already the first branch-tips brush at the window,” Hirshfield writes. “Softly, calmly, immensity taps at your life.” I suspect this will be an apt metaphor for you in 2016. The expansion and proliferation you have witnessed these past few months are likely to intensify. That’s mostly good, but may also require adjustments. How will you respond as immensity taps at your life? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Centuries ago, lettuce was a bitter, prickly weed that no one ate. But ancient Egyptians guessed its potential, and used selective breeding to gradually convert it into a tasty food. I see 2016 as a time when you could have a comparable success. Look around at your life, and identify weed-like things that could, through your transformative magic, be turned into valuable assets. The process may take longer than a year, but you can set in motion an unstoppable momentum that will ensure success. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Imagine that a beloved elder has been writing down your life story in the form of a fairy tale. Your adventures aren’t rendered literally, as your waking mind might describe them, but rather through dream-like scenes that have symbolic resonance. With this as our template, I’ll predict a key plot development of 2016: You will grow increasingly curious about a “forbidden” door – a door you have always believed should not be opened. Your inquisitiveness will reach such an intensity that you will consider locating the key for that door. If it’s not available, you may even think about breaking down the door.
Orange County Animal Services has a friendly 6-year-old dog in need of a new home. Meet Bear! He was recently surrendered to the shelter after his family could no longer care for him. Bear is a smart boy who knows how to sit and shake on command. Give him a tasty treat and he’ll be on top of the world. He loves to snack and roll over on the ground. He also gets along well with other animals and children. During the month of January, Orange County Animal Services is reducing all pet adoption fees to $20.16 in celebration of the New Year. Stop by the shelter at 2769 Conroy road (or visit online at ocnetpets.com) if you’re interested in Bear or one of the many other dogs or cats waiting for a home.

B Y D A N S AVA G E I’m a 45-year-old straight male. Politically and socially, I consider myself an ardent feminist. There is nothing I enjoy more than giving a woman an orgasm or two. I’m very GGG and will cheerfully do whatever it takes. Fingers, tongue, cock, vibrator – I’m in. If it takes a long time, so much the better. I’m OK with all of that. Now and again, though, I really like a quickie, a good old-fashioned “Wham, bam, thank you, ma’am!” The only ladies I’ve found willing to engage in those cock-centric acts are sex workers. I’m OK with that, too. But the last time I paid for it, with a woman I had patronized before, I was just about to slip my cock in doggy-style when her phone rang. It was in reach, and she picked it up! I hesitated, but she didn’t pull away, and in fact pushed back a bit while she answered. I figured this was what I came for, so I proceeded. Her cavalier attitude toward being fucked from behind while having a trivial phone conversation wound up being a huge turn-on for me. By the time she finished her 20-second call, I was finished as well. I hadn’t come that quickly since I was a teen. She laughed that she should take calls more often. What kind of beast am I that I really enjoyed such utter indifference? Does this reveal some dark secret deep in my psyche? How can that mesh with my otherwise feminist views? Premature Ejaculation Needs Some Introspective View Examined
wouldn’t come at all. I always enjoyed sex; I just wasn’t focused on coming. My partners would or wouldn’t, depending on their preferences. Since starting testosterone a few years ago, I now come quickly and easily. (Sometimes too quickly and easily.) My problem is that after I come, like most men, I’m done with sex. And the stronger the orgasm, the truer this is. A while ago, after a really fun time, I woke to find that I’d accidentally fallen asleep and left my longtime hookup buddy to fend for himself. Other times, I’m just tired and/or turned off. I definitely don’t want anyone inside me (it hurts), and while I’ve tried mustering enthusiasm for blowjobs, hand jobs, etc., my attempts come across as pretty tepid. So in the context of both ongoing relationships of various sorts and hookups, what’s the etiquette? I’ve found myself just avoiding things that’ll push me to come, because I don’t want to be rude. And since I’ve always enjoyed sex without orgasms, this doesn’t bother me mostly. But once in a while, I would like to come. How can I do this and still take care of the other guy? Not Good At Sexy Abbreviations
First, PENSIVE, “enjoys giving women
My wife and I are bisexual – we’re a man and woman – and we’ve been tiptoeing right up to the edge of organizing a threesome or swap through 3nder. But we haven’t gone through with it yet – too many flakes and fakes. But we have no complaints – just contemplating a threesome has put amazing energy back into our sex life. Is there a name for the explosive sex you have with your longtime partner when you’re anticipating a group scene or threesome? If not, can we suggest the neologism “presome”? Rhymes with threesome! Married With Anticipated High Jinks
orgasms” sets the bar for “ardent feminist” just a bit low. So here’s hoping your feminism involves more than penetrating a willing partner with your fingers, tongue, cock and whatever vibrators lying around. Because if your feminism doesn’t include support for pro-choice policies and candidates, regular donations to Planned Parenthood, backing equal pay for equal work, speaking up when other men say shitty/rapey/dehumanizing things about women (particularly when there isn’t a woman in the room whose pussy you want to lick until you come, because feminism!) – and more – then you’re not a feminist, ardent or otherwise. Moving on … Why did it turn you on when the sex worker took a call during your session? Because it did. Turn-ons are subjective and mysterious. People who are curious about their turnons have to start with “this turns me on” and work backward from there. And to figure out why a particular fabric/adornment/attitude/scenario arouses us, we use the only tools available to us – guesswork and self-serving rationalizations – to invent a backstory that makes some sort of logical sense, and then we apply it to something (kinks, turn-ons, orgasms) that really defies logic. So if I were to hazard some guesswork on your behalf, I’d probably go with this: Being treated with passive contempt by someone that you are supposed to be wielding power over (the woman you’re fucking, a sex worker you’ve hired) – being subtly humiliated and mildly degraded by that woman – taps a vein of eroticized self-hatred that makes you come quickly and come hard. And while that’s wonderful for you, PENSIVE, it isn’t proof you’re a feminist. I’m a 29-year-old gay trans man. On female hormones, I took a long time to come and usually

Use your words: “If it’s not a problem, I’d rather come after you do – my refractory period kicks in hard when I come and I briefly lose interest in sex. On top of that, I’m a terrible actor. So let’s make you come first, OK?”
The phenomenon you describe – the insanely hot sex a couple has before a threesome or other sexual adventure – has been noted by sex researchers and couples counselors. Dr. Margie Nichols, a psychologist and sex therapist, told the New York Times she frequently urges the nonkinky couples she sees to emulate kinky couples. “Kinky couples plan sex,” Nichols told Amy Sohn, “and simmer for days in advance.” Many couples in the planning stages of a threesome do a lot more than simmer: Like you and the wife, they find themselves having hot twosomes in anticipation of the impending (and hopefully hot) threesome. I think “presome” is a wonderful term to describe that kind of sex – I’m officially endorsing your proposed neologism – but I don’t think it works as well for four-way swaps, group sex, BDSM play parties, etc., because it obviously rhymes with/riffs on “threesome.” But it’s an excellent term to describe the situation you and the wife are in. To describe the sex after your first successful threesome, I would propose the term “postsome.” Listen to Dan’s podcast at savagelovecast.com.
