GET SOME O’ THAT SWEET
GUB’MENT
MONEY
HURRICANE MATTHEW HAS COME AND GONE, leaving felled trees, flood damage, smashed homes, cars and businesses in its wake. Mercifully, the storm did not directly hit Northeast Florida, so many of us escaped relatively unscathed while others may suffer economic impacts of the storm for months, even years. But wait, there’s hope! Sweet, sweet hope, better known as government assistance. (If you’re opposed to taking cash from Uncle Sugar, well, good for you.) For the rest of us, you’re eligible for disaster assistance from the feds if: • a member of your household is a U.S. • citizen, non-citizen national, or qualified • alien with a social security number; • you experienced financial losses • (including lost time at work, damage • to home, business, automobile, etc.) as a • result of the storm; and • those losses were not covered under an • insurance policy. If you’re not sure if your • insurance policy will cover you, go ahead • and apply. The sooner you have a denial • form in hand, the sooner Federal • Emergency Management Authority may • be able to help. There are gobs and gobs of things that people don’t realize they can get reimbursed for or, in some cases, get immediate assistance. These include costs associated with property damage, personal injuries, rent, storage, medical expenses, funeral expenses, HVAC unit damage, water and septic systems, even hotels if you were evacuated. For low-income folks, there’s even a way to get free legal advice and help through Disaster Legal Services. It’s important to take photos of storm damage to your property as soon as possible, ideally before you begin cleaning up and repairing, and to maintain records of all expenses. Before you apply for assistance, make sure you have your social security number, insurance policy, damage information, total annual household income before taxes, current contact information and, only if you prefer direct deposit of funds, your bank account information. Although some qualify for no-stringsattached assistance, if your annual household income is more than a certain amount, FEMA may refer you to SBA to apply for a loan to pay for your losses. But just because they send you to Small Business Administration doesn’t mean you’ll qualify; and if you don’t, guess what? They send you back to FEMA for a grant (that’s free money, yo). So don’t despair if you get sent to SBA, just apply. If you get approved and don’t like the terms of the loan, you’re not obligated to take it. As of Oct. 10, our area has not been federally declared for individual assistance, but it is expected to be designated as such any minute now, so FEMA is taking early registration for Hurricane Matthew recovery.
Uncle Sugar might be able to SAVE YOU FROM BANKRUPTCY or the poor house
If your business or private nonprofit organization was physically damaged or economically harmed by the storm, you may qualify for a low-interest, long-term loan of up to $2 million through SBA. You can use the funds to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory and other business assets. Some may even be eligible for refinancing all or a portion of an existing mortgage or lien and “may be able to increase the loan up to 20 percent of the confirmed physical losses … to make improvements that reduce the risk of damage by future disasters.” Now could be the time to install those storm windows or shore up that bulkhead on your waterfront restaurant. Even if your business wasn’t physically damaged, you may be able to receive up to $2 million in loans to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. ’Cause, really, if you’re one of the 92,545 JEA customers reportedly without power as of 12:45 p.m. Oct. 10 according to the outage map, you’re probably not open. A closed business = a business that’s losing money. Those that may qualify include small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private, nonprofit organizations. Beware of scammers! Jerks ripping people off descend like locusts after pretty much every disaster, some price-gouging or committing fraud, others pretending to be FEMA inspectors, contractors, tree-trimmers and oral surgeons (maybe not that last one). If you suspect fraud or price-gouging, call FEMA’s Disaster Fraud Hotline at 866-7205721 or the Florida Attorney General’s fraud and price-gouging hotline at 866-966-7226. Be aware that FEMA inspectors do not just show up and start poking around. After you’ve applied for assistance, they’ll call you to schedule an appointment, and all inspectors carry a federal photo ID. If some yahoo with a chainsaw or a tool belt asks if you need work done at your home or business, check his or her business or contractor license and proof of insurance before you let them in your house or on your roof — or let them take a chainsaw to the leaning tower of live oak in the backyard. Recover on!

THE MAIL Trump calls these statements sarcasm. Is this the same kind of sarcasm as the phrase above the entrances of the Auschwitz and Dachau former concentration camps, “Work sets you free”? Is this the kind of country you want to live in? Bruce Mize via email
HITLER REBORN, PART II
HITLER REBORN
IF TRUMP IS ELECTED PRESIDENT, I WILL probably be one of the first to go to the gas chamber because I am an atheist. Is this Trump’s final solution? Is this what he means when he says, “Make America great again”? In the ’60s, I worked with a German who got to America as a World War II POW. He taught me how to be a machine operator and we rode to work together for a while. He told me, “When you are 14 and someone says you are the greatest people in the world and this country should be the world’s leader, you believe it.” What he didn’t say, probably because he was too young to vote in Germany, was that no one could believe Hitler would do the things he did. The place where I worked with this German was a meat-packing plant and the owners were Jews, so they had many displaced persons of World War II and Europe working there. They all had numbers tattooed on their arms from when they were in Nazi concentration camps. It had been only 15 years since the end of World War II. It is time to question the mind of this man, Donald Trump, who has said: 1) I could walk down Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and people would still vote for me. 2) If she gets to pick Supreme Court justices, nothing you can do, folks, except Second Amendment people, maybe there is?
RE.: “Privileges, Scourges and Good v. Evil,” by Claire Goforth, Sept. 28 YOUR ARTICLE IS A MUCH-NEEDED REMINDER that there are rational, insightful and compassionate people in Jacksonville. Thank you for that. I fear, however, that those among us who choose not to be bothered with fact and are unconcerned with character will dismiss your comments out of hand. When educated people choose to hate Hillary Clinton as a person and a politician based on what they think they know about her (I recently overheard an older man comment that Hillary and Bill had already killed 57 or 58 people, he had lost count, to silence them) and support Donald as a businessman and anti-politician based on what they refuse to know about him, I see the specter of pre-war Germany looming over our future.

CORRUPTION IN THE SUNSHINE
RE.: “The Neighbors from Hell,” by Julie Parker, Sept. 28 THIS IS FLORIDA. ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND will be until we wise up and say our quality of life and our natural resources are important. There has been so much destruction in the last 15 years only the rising sea can bring it to a halt. Please don’t bother with the St. Johns River Water Management District. Corruption gets its name with that waste management district. Patricia Hazouri via Facebook

BRICKBATS + BOUQUETS BOUQUETS TO NALU TROPICAL TAKEOUT Upon their return to St. Augustine after evacuating for Hurricane Matthew, Jerry and Bobbie Morgan, owners of Nalu Tropical Takeout, quickly cleaned up their home and property, then loaded up the food truck and headed out to serve free hot meals to others who were less fortunate. Through the weekend, their truck became something of a waystation for donations of food, ice and, of course, hungry people as the Morgans worked tirelessly morning ’til night feeding their fellows. That’s giving at its finest. BRICKBATS TO DISASTER PROFITEERS After disaster strikes, it doesn’t take long for criminals and con artists to figure out a way to profit on people’s suffering. Reports of burglaries, fraud and people selling stickers and T-shirts for “charity,” aka their own pecuniary gain, almost immediately surfaced after Hurricane Matthew. Take heed, unscrupulous jerkoffs making a buck off misery — you will be caught. Do you suspect someone of scamming hurricane survivors? Send tips and tales to mail@folioweekly.com. BOUQUETS TO HURRICANE HEROES The wake of Hurricane Matthew has sent tales of everyday heroics trickling through Northeast Florida. Working ’round the clock, residents, businesses, government, police, fire, rescue and even utilities have done a helluva job speeding the recovery process and keeping misery to a minimum. Keep up the good work!

BOOMER
BUMMER AT THIS POINT, YOU’VE SEEN IT ALL EXCEPT FOR the requisite October Surprise. (Unless you want to count the “Grab them by the [expletive deleted].”) You’ve seen Trump and Clinton debate twice, and if you don’t have a fantasy football team to monitor, you may have paid attention. And you also saw Pence and Kaine go at it. The operatives — the folks from PACs, from campaigns, and through much of the political media — will tell you there are YUGE differences between the candidates. If they are pro-Clinton, they’ll tell you about Trump’s horrifying misogyny, about his lack of understanding of traditional American foreign policy, about his adherence to Russia, his tax dodge, his seeming tendency to treat his wife like a business acquaintance and his daughter like a wife, and the rest of the endless parade of horribles. And — let’s be clear — the operatives will be right on all counts. Trump is a horrifying individual. Conservatives have swallowed Trumpism with all the alacrity and wisdom of someone doing hemlock shooters at last call. Trump has negated the traditional brand of conservatism and replaced it with a vulgar cult of personality, rooted in inherent contradiction. But there is an equally appalling case to be made on the other side, about one of the most “vetted” candidates to run for the presidency since Richard Nixon in 1968. Hillary Clinton has 40 years of BS to rummage through like a HazMat crew in a Hoarders shoot. From cattle futures and Whitewater to missing emails and Benghazi, with Bushian votes in favor of the PATRIOT Act and the Iraq War mixed up in there, Hillary Clinton’s history is known. Operatives can throw it out there. And it’s all true. Trump and Clinton employ very different public rhetoric. One speaks the language of the interest groups of the center-left, offering rhetorical adhesion for a coalition that jibes better in theory than in practice. The “Stronger Together” rhetoric contains multitudes. Clinton, once an opponent of same-sex marriage, is now a proponent of LGBT rights. Clinton, whose husband pushed for the 1994 crime bill and who once referred to black youth of that era as “superpredators,” has walked it all back. Maybe Hillary Clinton has changed. Maybe times have changed. Maybe the calculus that got Bill Clinton through the 1992 primaries, via the avowedly “centrist” rhetoric of the Democratic Leadership Council, lost its purpose sometime between 2008 and Hillary Clinton’s absurdly difficult primary battle against Bernie Sanders — who was considered, at
best, a footnote in the campaign before he started winning primaries. Trump, who seemed to go from New York liberal to birther at some point in Obama’s first term, tries to serve up conservative rhetoric. But in reality, it’s authoritarian: As if there’s not a problem that can’t be solved when a government officer has a gun pointed at citizens. From his advocacy of “stop and frisk” going nationwide, to his Muslim ban, to his proposed en masse deportation of 11 million illegal immigrants, to his “pivot” on abortion that took him from a pro-choice position to musing that women perhaps should be punished for terminating a pregnancy, Trump is a nightmare. Choosing in this election is not like choosing between Coke and Pepsi. It’s like choosing between Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong Il. Like choosing between Monsanto and Union Carbide. Like choosing between Blaine Gabbert and Ryan Leaf. These are horrifying options; you can thank the Baby Boomer generation for them. There’s a reason that watching Clinton and Trump verbally parry is like watching the Ropers squabble on a Three’s Company rerun. They are like matched halves of a pair of apocalyptic bookends. Their rhetoric, their stridency, their absurdity — all of it is of the generation that gave you pan-Asian land war, a $20 trillion debt, a student loan crisis, GMO foods, and a guarandamntee that 9/10 of those reading this will work harder and earn less than their parents. Those younger than 40 have inherited a toxic ash dump that we still call America. The official rhetoric may be freedom; the reality is a police state, especially for people of color, moored in special interests on the left, crony capitalists in the center, and the tinfoil hat brigade on the right. Next election likely will be a repudiation of the boomer legacy, which has reached its tragic nadir in this presidential race. As the economic signposts on the road to the Third World become more unmistakable, maybe younger voters will realize the irony: The country has gone bankrupt to secure the entitlements of those chuckling oldsters with the “we’re spending our children’s inheritance” bumper stickers. This election is a little more whistling in the graveyard. And while there are third-party candidates, they are unable to make this case for what it is. Gary Johnson can’t get on a live mic without garbling talking points. And Jill Stein might as well be on a milk carton. Four more years. Then, one hopes, you kids will learn your lesson and vote accordingly. A.G. Gancarski mail@folioweekly.com Twitter/AGGancarski OCTOBER 12-18, 2016 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | 9

Over 1,500 cyclists HIT THE ASPHALT to find a cure for MS
TWO WHEELS &
A CURE
photo by Dennis Ho
10 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | OCTOBER 12-18, 2016
ELLEN KALLAHER HAS BEEN TRAINING — painfully — for the last four months for the upcoming Bike MS: PGA Tour Cycle to the Shore, the annual fundraiser now in its 30th year, in which cyclists of all ages and skill levels ride from Jacksonville to Daytona and back. It has been an arduous training regimen for Kallaher because 1) she is not too crazy about cycling, and 2) she has been living with multiple sclerosis (MS) for the last 20 years. When she talks about pain, it’s not the average ‘oh, I’m seriously out of shape’ pain. She is referring the debilitating neurological disease that is the very impetus for Bike MS. “My motivation is about being able to complete the ride, sure, but it is more about being a part of finding a cure for this disease,” said Kallaher, a nurse and mother of three. “Each pedal push is about still being here and still making gains against MS.” For those of you still in the dark about MS, you are not alone. Aside from knowing the acronym and that MS caused Richard Pryor’s ultimate deterioration, most of us (including me) would have to spellcheck sclerosis, a medical term defined as the abnormal hardening of tissue. According the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, “[MS] is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body.” The kicker is that the medical field has yet to really pin down the cause of the disease, which as recently as 1993 was simply untreatable. Back then, doctors would say, “You have MS. Good-bye and good luck.” The efforts driven by the funds raised over the last few decades have facilitated the research and new medication for those afflicted with MS. Corrina Madrid, Chapter President for the North Florida Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, said, “The Bike MS is the largest organized cycling series in the country. Each one of the 50 states has at least
one Bike MS event every year and I know more than a few people [who have ridden] in each and every one of them.” Madrid says that the idea for the events started in 1980 is a tad unclear. “I am not quite sure how it started, but it’s now the standard of cycling events around the world and it’s set up as a ride, not a race, so folks of all abilities can take on the whole ride or any given portion of it,” she told Folio Weekly. There are seven route options over the two-day event. Madrid proudly listed some key facts about the North Florida chapter. In 2015, the chapter: • raised $478,720 for research projects; • provided college scholarships to four • students who either have MS themselves • or have a parent with the disease; • contributed $30,000 to the Chapter’s • financial assistance service; and • assisted 15 families on MS Service Day. “Each rider pays an entry fee and additionally agrees to raise a minimum of $250. Most teams go way beyond that,” Madrid said. In 2015, the top fundraising teams (riders sign up and participate as teams to help maximize fundraising efforts) breached the $100K mark, according to Madrid. “The whole thing is a success because we have teams who care and a veteran volunteer committee that knows how to put on a great event here in North Florida.” Among the most successful teams is team Big Banana, spearheaded by North Florida chapter board member Bruce Reid. Since 2010, team Big Banana has raised more than $600K to fight MS. Reid took an early retirement just so he could dedicate himself to riding in Bike MS events all around the nation. He has ridden at least 100 miles in each of the 50 states and he, alongside his wife, Linda Bushong-Reid, are now working on a second go-round and hoping to duplicate their earlier feat.
“At first, we rode in one, just to see if we could do it,” said Reid. “After I finished that first one, a couple of co-workers came up to me and thanked me for riding for them and their spouses and their families, any of whom had been living with MS. At that point, I realized this was much more than just riding a bike.” Reid has done a least one Bike MS event every year for the last 16 years. “The feeling is like no other. When I started riding, there was barely one medical treatment on the market for MS. The money we have raised has directly gone to create medicinal options for folks with the disease. That is amazing and I won’t stop riding until we have a cure for MS — even then I probably won’t stop.” In 2015, team Big Banana raised big bucks. Reid said that riders in Big Banana commit to raising at least $1,000 each, and that most surpass that easily. “Last year, our team of 35 raised $126K to fight MS.” And the team is a major force on MS Service Day, when they exhibit equal enthusiasm for washing windows and cleaning floors for families coping with the disease. “You can talk to 10 more people on any of the teams who ride in Bike MS, and 10 more after that and you’ll get the same enthusiasm and passion for fighting MS,” Reid said. “I used to work out regularly prior to my efforts to fight MS and I look back and realize that the feeling was very shallow.” Kallaher agrees. “I am riding for us all,” she said. Her training day begins well before the sun rises, as the heat severely affects her cognitive and physical abilities. “The world has changed for those of us dealing with MS. Twenty years ago, we were not sure if we would be able to walk as we aged with the disease. Today, I am here riding to eliminate it.” Josué Cruz mail@folioweekly.com

s Hurricane Matthew unleashed its hellfire on Haiti on Oct. 5, businesses throughout its projected path through Florida began shuttering; cars were packed, windows boarded and residents fled to safer ground with friends, in hotels and area shelters. Northeast Florida braced for the worst storm in living memory to hit the region, glued to the news as we hunkered with fingers crossed and prayers for homes and businesses and the thousands who stubbornly refused to budge in spite of the direst of warnings. “This storm will kill you,” Governor Rick Scott gravely said in a press conference.
12 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | OCTOBER 12-18, 2016
In the end, however, Hurricane Matthew was not to be “the storm of the century” when it raged up Florida’s coastline on Oct. 7. Instead, on Saturday, when people crawled out from the cloistered spaces where they’d waited out the deluge, which raked the coast as a Category 3 hurricane, rather than the worst-case scenario Category 4 direct hit that many had anticipated, from Flagler, which took it the hardest, to Fernandina Beach, which was hammered by the surge, the biggest surprise was how little had changed. Returning home, most evacuees found some cosmetic damage — shattered glass, missing shingles and thousands of trees, splintered in two and ripped out of the ground, roots still clinging to the earth that had been their anchor. Even as crews worked 12-hour shifts and utilities from around the nation sent manpower and equipment
to help with the restoration, through the weekend power remained elusive for hundreds of thousands. At night, the area was transformed into a patchwork of bright and dark patches representing the electricity haves and have-nots. Throughout Saturday and Sunday, the buzz of chainsaws and generators filled the air. With so many without power and most businesses closed, ice and gas were in short supply. By Sunday, some of the hundreds of thousands of Northeast Floridians still without power had started grumbling on social media; over the long, powerless weekend, the storm created a new type of evacuee: the electricity refugee. Otherwise, the damage was nothing like the expectations of chaos and destruction that had been broadcast with increasing urgency as the storm neared. Even as early as
In St. Augustine, storm water flooded homes and businesses like Tini-Martini Bar at the Casablanca Inn (top left), ripped signs from the ground at the corner San Marco and Sanchez Avenues (below right), and tossed boats aside like toys, bringing the Ancient City to its knees. Meanwhile, in Fernandina Beach, the rare sight of large-scale destruction, such as this sign (bottom left) next door to Halftime Sporta Bar & Grill juxtaposed untouched homes, cars and businesses. While St. Augustinians picked through the wreckage of their lives, Amelia Island quickly returned to business as usual.

“[The] dunes did THEIR JOB here in Neptune Beach.” RICH BANKS, CAPTAIN NEPTUNE BEACH OCEAN RESCUE
Though Northeast Florida had braced for a direct hit, Hurricane Matthew skirted the coast as a Category 3, sparing the region and the thousands who refused to obey mandatory evacuation orders from its worst. Throughout the beaches of Jacksonville, most damage was to boardwalks (top, Neptune Beach), rooftops (bottom left, Casa Marina in Jacksonville Beach) and trees split apart or pulled up by the roots (above right, St. Augustine). 14 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | OCTOBER 12-18, 2016
AFTERMATH STORM of the
<<< FROM PREVIOUS Saturday, in some spots, such as long sections of oceanfront Heckscher Drive/S.R. A1A in Fernandina Beach, the sight of perfect lawns and grand homes entirely intact was so uninterrupted that if you didn’t know there had been a serious squall, you’d have assumed it was a typically idyllic weekend. As the jittery angst of Hurricane Matthew passed, a sense of elation gripped the populous. Residents who refused mandatory evacuation orders felt vindicated, while those who’d obeyed sat in traffic and waited for the bridges to reopen. “We made it!” a returning evacuee shouted jubilantly from a car on Mayport Road, shortly after the bridges reopened at noon on Saturday. In sun-washed Mayport Village, people were relieved to find that reports of Singleton’s Seafood Shack’s demise that had circulated on social media during the storm had been largely exaggerated. Similarly, a somewhat still-standing Jacksonville Beach Pier, which was widely reported to have been obliterated while the winds blew and the waves raged, was a welcome sight. Approximately a third of it had washed away. “It used to be longer,” one man quipped, laughing. Rich Banks, captain of Neptune Beach Ocean Rescue, said the beaches would have been much worse off without the dune restoration project. “Dunes did their job here in Neptune Beach,” he said, pointing to poles that had been exposed by sea water washing large chunks of dune away. Banks estimated that the storm had taken the dune restoration back at least 15 years. Left with little to do other than collect tree limbs and remove boards from windows, on Saturday afternoon thousands flocked to the beach to take in the gougedout dunes, damaged businesses such as Casa Marina, where cleanup was well underway, and refuse left behind by the storm surge which, though it breached the dunes, caused relatively little damage. By early afternoon, the ocean was dotted with the bobbing heads of surfers, with more arriving by the minute to catch some posthurricane waves. Banks grimaced, mentioning the large amount of trash that was reportedly visible at low tide that morning. “Last I heard … the beaches were closed — but you can’t stop 60,000 people from coming to take a look,” he said. Shortboard tucked under an arm, sunscreen white on his shoulders as if applied in a hurry, one man in Jax Beach scoffed at the mention of debris and bacteria in the water. “A lot of people in the water, too,” he retorted, trotting toward the waves. Meanwhile, in St. Augustine, other than the odd urban adventurer and merchants picking up the sodden pieces of wreckage strewn across the floors of their businesses, streets normally thronged with visitors were eerily empty. A high waterline marked the spot where the flood finally halted its swell after pouring over the seawall. The Ancient City will likely have the longest road to recovery.
After the bridges to Fernandina Beach opened at 4 p.m., residents returned to find downed trees, power outages and evidence of some flooding. Most, though not all, were largely unscathed. To observers standing behind a border of red caution tape, Brett’s Waterway Café appeared to have suffered the most significant damage; cracks had opened throughout the concrete walkway around it, boards plied up and flung aside, pipes ripped and bent underneath. When the Green Turtle opened at 8 p.m., happy, slightly ironic cries of “you made
it!” punctured the air whenever a new face appeared in the door. While for many, Hurricane Matthew was just an excuse for a long weekend, for others, the storm was an opportunity. At the jetties on Saturday, two men in a truck collected wood left behind by the floodwaters, seemingly for themselves, not as a public service. In the Windy Hill neighborhood in Jacksonville, Billy Mernagh said he got to work for Anderson’s Tree Service at first light. He didn’t have to go far; first his crew removed the tree that fell on
Mernagh’s house during the storm, luckily without causing much damage, then they were to begin what he expected to be many uninterrupted days of work. “[I’m] on call ’til whenever,” he said. In Mayport, Kayla Leitch remarked of her companion, Garrett Putnam, “He owns his own lawn business, so it’s going to be a good week for him.” After Hurricane Matthew claimed nearly 900 lives in Haiti, Florida braced for a catastrophic storm. With six lives lost statewide, two bridges closed until further

AFTERMATH STORM of the
<<< FROM PREVIOUS notice (Shands S.R. 16 Bridge and Crescent Beach S.R. 206 Bridge), relatively few cars, homes and businesses smashed to smithereens or lifted off their axes by floodwaters, by and large, the consensus was: We got lucky. This time. “If we would’ve got the brunt of the storm, it would’ve been chaos,” Winston ”Bobby” Davis said Saturday afternoon, from his spot selling boiled peanuts on Heckscher Drive by I-295, where the sun was bright and hot. Claire Goforth claire@folioweekly.com _____________________________________________ Dennis Ho contributed to this story. See more photos from Hurricane Matthew at FolioWeekly.com. Floodwaters tore into St. Augustine, leaving behind trash and debris on the floor of a vacant property on the corner of A1A and S. Castillo Drive (bottom), and ripped away the roof of First Coast Powersports (top right). On Saturday, a sign warded off would-be trespassers at A1A Aleworks (top left). Storm surge gutted the underside of Brett’s Waterway Café in Fernandina Beach (left) and may have shifted it off the elderly pylons beneath. It could be months — or more — before it opens.

early every musician on the planet has, at some point in his or her career, put a modern spin on old classics. But you rarely hear about contemporary artists interpreting current pop hits through an old-timey lens. That’s precisely what New York musician Scott Bradlee and his Postmodern Jukebox collective specialize in, however. From doowop renditions of Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop” to Motown takes on the esteemed discography of Nickelback to soul send-ups of Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone,” Bradlee and his cohort have done it all. And they’ve done it in a way that doesn’t feel like an arcane throwback. Bradlee’s sense of social media smarts (Twitter, Snapchat, Periscope — you name it, he excels at it) is unparalleled for a working
jazz musician. The Postmodern Jukebox’s YouTube channel has accumulated nearly 500 million views, and the highest-ranked videos span a range of styles: a haunting cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” (22 million hits), a sultry, swinging version of Meghan Trainor’s “All About that Bass” (18 million), a Singin’ in the Rain-inspired take on Rihanna’s “Umbrella” (5 million), and an eerie interpretation of Lorde’s megahit “Royals” sung by a giant sad clown named Puddles (15 million views). Looking further back, it was an endless urge to experiment that helped Bradlee land on a version of success that looked markedly different from his post-college struggles in the competitive New York jazz scene. His first popular video, a ragtime medley of ’80s pop hits, went viral after sci-fi icon Neil Gaiman tweeted about it. “That gave me the bug, basically,” Bradlee

Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox plays today’s hits in yesterday’s style, keeping an eye on THE DIGITAL FUTURE told Sonic Scoop last year. “I recorded this video, put it up there, and pretty soon, more people had seen [it] than had seen me play in my entire life.” Once Bradlee expanded the scope of the Postmodern Jukebox and started enlisting guest vocalists to perform certain songs, things really took off. In 2012, Robyn Adele Anderson’s lead on “Thrift Shop,” originally by rappers Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, scored one million views in a week, earning the band a headline spot on Good Morning America months later. The Postmodern Jukebox swept into Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Manhattan offices at the end of 2013 to film their own version of a year-end Best Of list. Video game covers opened the band up to a whole new devoted demographic. And in 2014, the band went fully mainstream, attracting accolades in Time, Billboard and Huffington Post, and on PBS. It’s that blend of expert musicianship, passionate live performances, and smart media strategy that has propelled the band to such a prominent position. In 2016 alone, Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox has completed a 75-date European tour and a 16-date Australasian tour, swapping supporting players in and out as needed. The grueling pace rolls all the way through

the end of the year, too, with this week’s date at The Florida Theatre falling midway through a 45-stop North American journey. Reviews of these tour dates have been almost entirely glowing, with fans and critics alike celebrating the marathon variety show aspects and Gilded Age aesthetics that provide a nice escape from brutal presidential elections and landfalling hurricanes. Bradlee told Sonic Scoop last year that the Postmodern Jukebox’s video streaming stardom has provided a steady revenue stream that allows for such extensive touring. And the recorded side of the collective is actually thriving, with more than 15 full-lengths bearing slam-dunk titles like Twist is the New Twerk, Clubbin’ with Grandpa, and Swipe Right for Vintage making the Top 10 of Billboard Jazz charts. “The thing with touring,” he says, “is that it’s very expensive, and you have all of your costs and expenses come up front. I’ve been lucky that whatever I make on the digital side, I’ve been able to invest in the touring end. Touring is definitely better for gross profits in the long run — but it’s something that you build. It takes a while to get to that point, especially when you have a significant amount of overhead from bringing that many musicians on the road.” Even better? Bradlee still employs the same MacGyver-like setup for filming and editing the Postmodern Jukebox’s videos he’s used since college. “But I found there’s something very intimate about it this way,” he said last year. “The static shot makes people look around the frame and notice the little details of what’s going on in the background, and I think it helps people focus on the music and the performance.” And in this ADD-addled age, that counts for a lot.

ON THE ROAD

etween 1940 and 1962, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope starred in seven Road pictures, which Hope’s biographer, Richard Zoglin, called the “greatest buddy series in movie history.” That’s quite a statement when you consider Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello, and Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Despite his obvious bias, Zoglin still makes a compelling argument for the overall quality and especially the originality of the Hope/Crosby films. More than 60 years on, the series holds up remarkably well, to which I for one can personally attest, having just watched them in the order they were released. In 1940, Crosby was already a top star at Paramount’s with at least 16 feature films to his credit. Hope, an established radio star, was a relative newcomer though he scored big in his first feature, The Big Broadcast of 1938, singing what became his signature tune, “Thanks for the Memories.” Six films and less than two years later, he had his biggest hit yet with The Cat and the Canary. The first pairing of the two 37-year-olds was Road to Singapore, Hollywood’s biggest moneymaker of 1940. Hope was third-billed in this film; the second spot went to Dorothy Lamour, who played the love interest for both men in all the films but the last. Though Lamour was important to the comic mix, the ensuing films gave the two men equal billing, with Crosby’s name always first. Along with the final film, The Road to Hong Kong (1962), Singapore may be the weakest of the pictures, though it establishes the undeniable chemistry of Crosby and Hope. The film’s major flaw is a backstory about Crosby as a wealthy playboy fleeing an unwanted marriage and bumping into Hope in Singapore. They get involved with Lamour in various con games to scrounge money. In between the comic stunts, Crosby croons tunes. The rest of the films abandon all pretense of a traditional plot, opening with Crosby and Hope as hucksters of one variety or another, usually drawing in their dupes (and movie audiences) with an opening song and dance routine. It’s in Road to Zanzibar that Hope first breaks the fourth-wall between movie audience and screen characters, one of the series’ most original trademarks. In Singapore, the fellas had escaped from some thugs by doing a patty-cake routine, knocking out the unsuspecting goons. They try the same gimmick in Zanzibar, but this time it’s the bad guys who land the punches, prompting Hope to mutter, “He musta seen the picture.” These self-referential comments and asides to the audience (skewering everything from politics to Paramount, from Crosby’s ears to Hope’s nose), got more and more clever and hilarious as the movies progressed. In their own way, the Road pictures were every bit as revolutionary as the Marx Brothers’ zaniness, only more consistent. The next three films are generally considered the best. Road to Morocco, the
Celebrating Bing & Bob, 20th-century cinematic COMEDY MASTERS
fourth-highest grossing film of 1942, puts the boys up against talking camels, nasty Arabs and a relatively unknown Anthony Quinn as a villain. (The future two-time Oscar winner, sporting a pencil-thin mustache, was also the bad guy in Singapore.) The quips, the tunes, the nuttiness are all razor-sharp. Road to Utopia, filmed in 1944 but released in ’46, is the only period piece of the series, with Bing and Bob in Alaska during the Gold Rush. It was the only time Hope gets the girl in the end, but even at that Crosby has him one up. As old folks recalling their courtship and adventures, Hope and Lamour have a son that looks just like (and is) Bing Crosby. In 1947, Road to Rio (the year’s topgrossing movie) has the boys and Lamour up to the usual shenanigans, bolstered by a musical number with the Andrews Sisters and a funny cameo by Hope’s radio assistant Jerry Colonna. Directing was Norman Z. McLeod, in his element, having overseen a W.C. Fields film and two Marx Brothers efforts. Seven years later was Road to Bali, the only Road picture in color. The film’s most memorable moments are brief cameos by Martin and Lewis, a clip of Humphrey Bogart from The African Queen, and a conclusion with Jane Russell, Hope’s co-star in The Paleface and Son of Paleface. In 1962, The Road to Hong Kong was full of cameos (Peter Sellers, David Niven, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra). A 29-year-old Joan Collins was their romantic interest. Plans were being made for Road to the Fountain of Youth, but Bing Crosby died in 1977. Enough was enough anyway, but thanks, guys, for the terrific memories. Pat McLeod mail@folioweekly.com

Find CLASSIC PERUVIAN on the Southside PISCO’S RESTAURANT OFF SOUTHSIDE Boulevard is a local gem that offers traditional Peruvian cuisine suitable for all palates. Familyowned, the spot is deceptively large, and the menu has a lot to offer. Pisco’s drink selection carries exciting possibilities. When I saw Chicha Limena (purple corn drink, $2.50), it was a no-brainer. I had no idea what to expect; I mean, juiced purple corn? I wasn’t disappointed. It was definitely purple, and my tastebuds were surprised to pick up notes of clove. It was actually quite refreshing without being too sweet. They do a beautiful Pisco Sour ($7.95), a classic South American drink of Pisco (a type of brandy), lemon juice, simple syrup and egg whites. If a drink with egg whites is too adventurous for you, choose one of the several options of sangria. We started off with tamales ($4.95 each), opting for the pork over the chicken. Each tamale was served on a banana leaf, with a generous helping of spicy red onions on the side, a nice clean companion to the polenta. The pork? Tender flavorful chunks wrapped in the middle of smooth polenta, which is often rather bland, but Pisco’s was just as flavorful as the pork. I’d definitely be
BITE-SIZED PISCO’S RESTAURANT
4131 Southside Blvd., Ste. 101, 646-3888 facebook.com/Piscos-PeruvianRestaurant-176003649079402/?fref=ts happy enough to eat two tamales for dinner at Pisco’s — no questions asked. For our entrées, we wanted a little land-andsea, and Pisco’s offers it all. It seems wrong to not try a Peruvian restaurant’s ceviche, so we ordered the mixed ceviche ($13.95), which includes fish, shrimp and calamari, and Ají de Gallina ($11.25), a shredded chicken dish. The ceviche was traditionally dressed in an acidic lemon sauce, accompanied by large kernels of Peruvian corn, along with a boiled potato and some fresh red onion. The dish was prepared quite nicely, but we both preferred the Ají de Gallina, which was dressed in yellow, garnished with a slice of boiled egg and black olive, and ready to party. The shredded chicken is blanketed in the rich Peruvian yellow sauce that gets its name and color from ají amarillo, or ají yellow peppers. One forkful of chicken reveals a base of thick, sliced, boiled potato that adds a nice layer of texture. Between the pork and the chicken, the chef at Pisco’s knows just how to prepare perfectly tender and flavorful meat! The Ají de Gallina also includes a small portion of rice. Side note: I didn’t know plain white rice could taste so good! We finished our meal with a powdered sugarcovered shortbread sandwich, filled with a creamy caramel spread. The shortbread was mostly butter, so it excelled at its shortbread-manship. The murals on the wall are worth noting as well — they depict some cool creatures! The venue offers lots of seating and there’s even a DJ booth, which makes me think that in addition to being a fabulous place to eat, Pisco’s is also a great late-night spot on the weekends.

MIGRATION
LIBATIONS
THIS TIME OF YEAR, NORTHEAST FLORIDA IS host to many migrations. Birds — and snowbirds — from across the northern regions pass through as they make their way south to ride out the winter in warmer climes. This year, for the first time, Goose Island Beer Company is joining those treks. The lauded Migration Week celebration, held Oct. 17-21, includes several events designed to provide access to some of Goose Island’s best brews as well as a chance to meet the brewers themselves. The idea for Goose Island was born in the late ’80s when founder John Hall visited Europe. “My flight was delayed and I was flipping through the flight magazine,” Hall wrote in a press release. “I saw an article about boutique beers, and I realized that everywhere I’d been in Europe, I encountered distinctive local beers, but we had nothing like that in Chicago. Chicagoans drank the same beers that were sold everywhere else in the country.” Hall decided to bring those handcrafted qualities to the beer drinkers of Chicago, his hometown. He opened Clybourn Avenue Brewpub, serving fresh, handcrafted beer to denizens of the city’s Lincoln Park District. In the years since, Goose Island Beer Company has become a symbol of Chicago and its products have acquired an international reputation. In 1995, Goose Island opened its Fulton Street Brewery and, in 1999, a second brewpub opened in Wrigleyville. Even as Goose Island outgrew its original location, the Clybourn Brewpub continued to be a place for invention and experimentation. Over the years, the brewery became a bastion of craft beer innovation. In 1992, Goose Island pioneered the barrel-aging process by filling first-use bourbon barrels with its brews. Brewers chose only barrels that held sweet whiskey for an average of eight years, then aged the beer in the casks for months, up to a year. This process took place in a non-climate-controlled space, allowing exposure to the extreme heat and cold of Chicago’s climate, which contracts and expands the wood, pulling the barrel’s whiskey character into the brew. Eventually, in 2004, this barrel-aging program gave rise to one of Goose Island’s most coveted brews: Bourbon County Brand Stout. Its annual release, along with its varietals, is so popular, fans line up across the country on the day after Thanksgiving — Black Friday — just to get their allotment of the heady brews. The barrel-aging program was so well-received, the brewers decided to expand, using wine barrels to produce beers aged with fresh fruits and inoculated with wild yeast. The resulting brews are called Sour Sisters: Sofie, Juliet, Lolita, Madame Rose, Gillian and Halia. Locally, Migration Week events include a beer dinner, a pub crawl in Riverside, an educational series plus a screening of Grit & Grain: The Story of Bourbon County Stout, a documentary about the method of brewing the stout, at Sun-Ray Cinema. Sisters Night at the Beach features tastings of each Sour Sisters. Details are still being worked out, but watch Folio Weekly Magazine’s Pint-Sized Facebook page (facebook. com/foliopintsized) for updates. Marc Wisdom marc@folioweekly.com

COLUMBUS:
GODFATHER OF MODERN CUISINE? MOST OF Y’ALL REMEMBER COLUMBUS for “discovering” the New World in 1492. Columbus, an Italian from Genoa (then one of the most powerful cities in the world), manipulated the Spanish into sponsoring a new route to the West Indies. Why? For food, of course, specifically spices. Instead, he sailed into the American continents. Though this was quite a cool accomplishment in itself, it led to so much more than just Europeans colonizing the Americas. The more significant result of his voyage was the opening of the Columbian Exchange, which changed the world’s palate for the better. If it weren’t for Columbus, Italians wouldn’t have the tomato, the Irish wouldn’t have potatoes, Thais wouldn’t have chili peppers, and the Swiss wouldn’t have chocolate. You could say Columbus was responsible for all modern cuisine. No wonder he’s such a revered figure in Italy and, believe you me, the Italians will not let this go. When the Spanish began to send expeditions looking for gold, they brought back foodstuffs, which turned out to be far more important than gold. The Portuguese also got into the act and began to transport foods from the Americas to India and Asia. With this infusion of new and exotic foods, contemporary ethnic cuisines began to develop. These new foods were not immediately accepted. For example, tomatoes were considered ornamental until some hungry southern Italian cooks got ahold of them and began to Chef Up the humble tomato, realizing its potential as a contrast for cheeses, and as a healthful and versatile sauce for pastas. The tomato slowly began to find its way farther north in Italy, where it was used as a sweetener in richer sauces and ragouts, which are rich, complex, layered braises or stews requiring skill and passion, not that garbage sold in a jar and not sautéed ground beef with tomato sauce. A well-executed ragout is truly an awe-inspiring treasure to be cherished and adored! Try this amazing duck ragout with tagliatelle; you can thank me after you recover from your food coma.
CHEF BILL’S DUCK RAGOUT

DEAR DAVI
THE
Davi sits down with a LOCAL DOG who GOT LOST and wound up in Massachusetts DID YOU KNOW ONE IN THREE DOGS GETS lost in its lifetime and, according to the American Humane Society, only about 17 percent is ever recovered? Registered microchips give lost pets the best chance of returning home. Just ask Apollo — he knows first-paw the importance of a microchip. The shaggy canine had somehow traveled more than 1,000 miles to Massachusetts from Jacksonville. I sat down with the Great Pyrenees mix to hear about his long journey home. How did you end up in Massachusetts? I’m not really sure. One minute, I’m digging through a hole in our fence, and the next, I’m standing off the road miles away from my home. My mom thinks someone might have found me and taken me for a long drive up the East Coast. What is the furthest you’ve ever wandered from home? I’m an older dog, so I generally stick to my usual haunts or just shuffle down to the end of the road; I’m not much of an adventurer. How long were you away from home? I’m not good at gauging time, but I think it was around a month — in human time. Were you scared? Yes — and hungry. Where were you found? I was found in a parking lot in the small town of Swansea. Did someone help you? Yes. A really nice lady from Animal Control found me roaming around, took me to a shelter, and helped locate my family. How did they find your family? I was scanned for a microchip to reveal my special ID number and — BINGO — my information was registered and updated, so the shelter was able to contact my family
LONG WAY HOME
and let them know I was SAFE, on dogcation in Massachusetts!
How did you get home? It was a long ride. The good folks at East Coast Paws Transport — a volunteer pet transportation service — arranged for a relay of nearly two dozen volunteers to drive the distance back to Florida. Were you excited to be reunited with your family? Yes! I was happy to see my mom, and she was overjoyed to see me. What was the first thing you did when you got home? I gorged myself on food, sunk my paws into my own bed, and got lots of snuggles from my mom. Any advice for dogs who’ve lost their way home? I hope you’ll never get lost, but in case you do — and before you do — make sure your human gets you chipped. It can hugely increase your chances of a speedy, happy reunion. Keep in mind: A microchip is only as valuable as its information, so update it regularly. Word to Humans: Pet microchips are not tracking devices. They are radio-frequency identification implants that provide a permanent ID for pets. If your pet gets lost and is taken to a clinic or shelter, he’ll be scanned to reveal the unique ID number. That number is then called into a pet recovery service, and you’ll be contacted, using the contact information on file with your pet’s microchip. It is vital to keep your contact information current. Davi mail@folioweekly.com ____________________________________ Davi the dachshund isn’t a long-distance solo adventurer, but he does enjoy road trips with his mom.
PET TIP: FROM THE KITTY NEXT DOOR WHILE IT’S DOUBTFUL THAT TED NUGENT WAS CROONING ABOUT THE SWEET, SWEET PUSSY…cat next door when he wrote “Cat Scratch Fever,” the musician-turned-dude whose career would be better served by shutting the hell up has made at least one salient point: You can catch cat scratch fever from your feline friends. According to Healthline.com, the bacterial infection is typically benign but can cause symptoms that include blisters, swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, headache and fever. Happily, the site says the infection rarely requires treatment unless your immune system is already compromised. So don’t be a heartbreaker, treat Cat Benatar right. 34 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | OCTOBER 12-18, 2016

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A study published in the peer-reviewed Communications Research suggests only 28 percent of us realize when someone is flirting with us. I hope that won’t apply to you in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological situation, you’ll be on the receiving end of more invitations, inquiries and allurements than usual. The percentage of these worth responding to will also be higher than normal. Not all of them will be obvious, though. Be extra vigilant.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ancient Greek sage Socrates was a founder of Western philosophy and a seminal champion of critical thinking — yet he relied on his dreams for crucial information. He was initiated into the esoteric mysteries of love by the prophetess Diotima, and had an intimate relationship with a daimonion, a divine spirit. Make Socrates your patron saint for the next three weeks. Without abandoning your reliance on logic, make an effort to draw helpful clues from non-rational sources, too. Socrates drew oracular revelations from sneezes. Consider that outlandish possibility. Be alert for secret meanings of coughs, burps, grunts, mumbles and yawns.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Helper Experiment, Part One: Close your eyes and imagine you’re in the company of a kind, attentive helper — a person, animal, ancestral spirit, or angel you either know well or haven’t met yet. Spend at least five minutes visualizing a scene in which this ally aids you in fulfilling a particular goal. The Helper Experiment, Part Two: Repeat this exercise daily for the next seven days. Each time, visualize your helper making your life better in some specific way. I predict: Carrying out The Helper Experiment attracts actual support. CANCER (June 21-July 22): New rules: 1. It’s unimaginable and impossible for you to be obsessed with anything or anyone that’s no good for you. 2. It’s unimaginable and impossible to sabotage your stability by indulging in unwarranted fear. 3. It’s imaginable and possible to remember the most crucial thing you’ve forgotten. 4. It’s imaginable and possible to replace debilitating self-pity with invigorating self-love and healthy selfcare. 5. It’s imaginable and possible to discover a mother lode of emotional strength. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s swing-swirlspiral time. It’s ripple-sway-flutter time, flow-gush-gyrate time and jive-jigglejuggle time. Do not indulge in fruitless yearnings for unswerving progress and rock-solid evidence. If your path isn’t twisty and tricky, it may be the wrong path. If your heart isn’t teased and tickled into shedding its dependable formulas, it might be an overly hard heart. Be an improvisational curiosity-seeker. Be a principled player of unpredictable games. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some Englishspeaking astronomers use the humorous slang term “meteor-wrong.” It refers to a rock that is at first thought to have fallen from the heavens as a meteorite (“meteor-right”), but is later proved to be of terrestrial origin. There may be the metaphorical equivalent of a meteor-wrong in your life. The source of a new arrival or fresh influence isn’t what it initially seemed. But that doesn’t have to be a problem — on the contrary. Once you’ve identified the true nature of the new arrival or fresh influence, it’ll be useful and interesting. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Most of us can’t tickle ourselves. Since we have conscious control of our fingers, we know we can stop any time. Without the element of uncertainty,
our squirm reflex doesn’t kick in. You might get a temporary exemption from this rule in the coming weeks. Astrological omens suggest you’ll have an extraordinary capacity to surprise yourself. Novel impulses rise up on a regular basis. Unpredictability and spontaneity will be your specialties. Have fun doing what you don’t usually do! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the last 10 weeks of 2016, your physical and mental health flourish in direct proportion to how much outworn and unnecessary stuff you flush out of your life between now and Oct. 25. Suggested tasks: 1. Perform a homemade ritual to enable you to magically shed at least half of your guilt, remorse and regret. 2. Put on a festive party hat, gather all the clutter and junk from your home, and take it to a thrift store or dump. 3. Take a vow to do everything in your power to kick your attachment to an influence that’s no damn good for you. 4. Scream nonsense curses at the night sky for as long as it takes to purge sadness, anger about pain that no longer matter. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard had his brain scanned while he meditated. The experiment revealed that the positive emotions whirling around in his gray matter were superabundant. Some publications dubbed him “the happiest person in the world.” Since he’s neither egotistical nor fond of media’s simplistic sound bites, he’s not happy about that title. I predict you will be the happiest tribe of the zodiac in the next two weeks. For best results, cultivate Ricard’s definitions of happiness: “altruism and compassion, inner freedom (so that you are not the slave of your own thoughts), senses of serenity and fulfillment, resilience, as well as a clear and stable mind that does not distort reality too much.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is a perfect moment to launch or refine a project to generate truth, beauty and justice. Amazingly, it’s also an excellent time to launch or refine a long-term master plan to make you healthy, wealthy and wise. Coincidence? Not at all. Astrological omens suggest your drive to be of noble service dovetails well with your drive for personal success. For the foreseeable future, unselfish goals are well-aligned with selfish ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Has your world become at least 20 percent larger since Sept. 1? Has your generosity grown to near-heroic proportions? Have your eyes beheld healing sights previously invisible? Have you lost at least two excuses for tolerating scrawny expectations? Are you awash in the desire to grant forgiveness and amnesty? If you can’t answer yes to at least two of those, it means you’re not fully in harmony with your best possible destiny. Get to work! Attune to the cosmic tendencies! And if you’re indeed reaping these benefits, congratulations — prepare for even further expansions and liberations. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Some astrologers dwell on your tribe’s phobias. They assume Pisceans are perversely drawn to fear; that you’re addicted to the strong feelings it generates. To correct this distorted view, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I hereby declare the coming weeks a Golden Age for Your Trust in Life. It’s prime time to exult in everything that evokes joy and excitement. Make a list of these glories, and add new items every day. Another way to celebrate the Golden Age: Discover and explore previously unknown sources of joy and excitement. Rob Brezsny freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com
NEWS OF THE WEIRD DON’T DO AS I DO
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is bureaucratically at the epicenter of the state’s drought crisis, but in September KCBS-TV aired video of the department using sprinklers to water the artificial lawn at a substation in South Los Angeles. A DWP spokesperson said such watering is routine at substations to “clean” the plastic.
IT’S A WEIRD WORLD AFTER ALL
Large kidney stones typically mean eye-watering pain and sudden urinary blockage until the stone “passes” (often requiring expensive sound-wave treatment to break up a large stone). Michigan State University urologist David Wartinger told The Atlantic in September he’d recently happened upon a pain-free — even exciting! — way to pass stones before they become problems: the centripetal force from a roller coaster ride. In a 200-trip experiment preparing for a validating “human” trial, he successfully passed stones in his hand-held, silicone model kidney (using his own urine) about two-thirds of the time when sitting in a rear seat at Disney World’s Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
WANT CUFFS WITH THAT?
A woman was arrested on Sept. 7 at Italian Pizza Kitchen restaurant in Washington, D.C. She was chatting up a police officer she didn’t know, then playfully took a French fry from his plate. He asked her to stop, but she took another, and when the exasperated officer issued an ultimatum, she took yet another. The arrest report for second-degree theft, cited by WUSA-TV, included “property stolen” as “three” “French fried potato[es].”
THAT’D BE OUR SECOND CHOICE
In a dozen YouTube videos recently released, Syria’s Tourism Ministry praised the country’s sandy, fun-filled beaches as ideal vacation spots and its many World Heritage Sites as renowned tourist exhibits — attempting to distract world travelers from the country’s daily bloodshed (and the wartime destruction of those priceless historical sites). Before civil war broke out in 2011, Syria was a fashionable, $8 billion-a-year destination and the now-devastated city of Aleppo was known worldwide for its cuisine.
SERIOUSLY?
Orly Taitz, an Orange County, California, dentist and lawyer, is America’s most prominent “birther” (as of 2012), having filed dozens of lawsuits, appeals and other legal petitions expressing her certainty that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States of America. In her latest legal foray, a California judge tossed out her lawsuit against Occidental College (to force release of Obama’s college transcripts and other papers). The loss brings birthers’ legal record (hers and others’) to 0-for258, according to WhatsYourEvidence.com and LoweringTheBar.net. Taitz was described by one critic as “almost charmingly insane.”
HOW ’BOUT A BIG SHOE?
The most recent immigrant family living high on the hog in the United Kingdom is Arnold Mballe Sube and his wife, Jeanne, both 33, who drew about $130,000 in government benefits last year, but are still feuding with Luton Borough Council near London over its inability to find free housing for them and their eight children. They turned down four- and five-bedroom homes, were housed temporarily in a Hilton, and said they’d only be satisfied with a six-bedroom place. Mr. Sube, from Cameroon, emigrated to France at 18, then came to England in 2012 to study nursing at the University of Bedfordshire.
WHY CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?
With about 30 states having adopted some form of “stand your ground” defense to assault (or murder) charges, five membership organizations, charging up to $40 a month, have signed up a half-million gun owners concerned that law enforcement treat them fairly should they someday be forced to shoot — providing instructions and a “hot line” to coach members on what to tell police, plus liability insurance and help getting a lawyer. Critics say such organizations are also useful to those who might be prone to shooting people and want advice on how best to get away with it. The U.S. Concealed Carry organization’s wallet-sized card, to give to police, asks that the shooter under suspicion be given the same consideration as the officers might give to their own colleagues under suspicion.

A Kafkaesque tale of trying to get TRASH CLEANED UP on the riverbank
A LOT OF TRAFFIC GOES OVER THE ELEVATED Riverwalk under the Acosta Bridge and over the railroad tracks by the St. Johns River. I ride my bike there regularly, and earlier this year on one side of the path, I noticed manatees in the water, playing or whatever manatees do in their spare time. On the other side of the path, where the water meets land, there was a large swath of trash and debris. On March 1, I pulled out my phone, took a few pictures and reported the blight on the MyJax app, which several other people with similar interests in cleaning up the city had suggested. A few days later, an administrator from the city advised me that the property was owned by the railroad, so there was no city jurisdiction. The administration said they would send a request for code compliance to the railroad. Easy enough. I waited 30 days for the outcome. It was a gnat hitting a brick wall, apparently, because nothing was cleaned up. On April 4, I contacted CSX, which informed me that Florida East Coast Railway (FECR) owned the property and that I should contact them. I put in a request through the website and was eventually contacted by a nice, friendly lady who handled the request for the company to clean up the mess. She assured me that it would be cleaned up soon, adding that she loves the St. Johns River and doesn’t want it to revert to the polluted waterway of yesteryear. I waited another month. The gnat was back, slamming against the brick wall tenaciously, but ineffectively. On May 5, I used the online email form to contact FECR, writing:
Good afternoon, I’m writing today to see where we are at on cleaning up the area by the tracks where the Acosta Bridge and the Riverwalk meet. The trash is located on the west bank of the St. Johns River and seems to be accumulating more and more. I had spoken with someone (I believe her name was Sherry and she thought that this was an illegal dumping call) regarding this nearly a month ago and am curious to see when it might be cleaned up. I got a response a couple of days later from a gentleman named Robert Ledoux, senior vice president of the company. I felt very confident that he would get things done, considering his title. His response was quite succinct. “FECR has looked into this and confirmed the trash is actually coming from debris in the river. We will take care of it. Thanks, Bob” But by June 15, it looked like even more trash had accumulated. I felt like the detritus was laughing in my face as the waterfowl picked for food in between Styrofoam and cans. Now that I had a point of contact, I took to email again: “Hey Robert, Was just that way again and it looked pretty disgusting. Are you guys taking care of it or want me to get some people together to clean it up?” He responded: Jonathan: I was told we did clean it up several weeks ago. It is my understanding this is a location that the debrief [sic] drifts to from [sic] the river as a whole and not some random person putting trash at this location. If there is some type of volunteer program to handle this on a routine basis, that would be great.
I was glad that he knew about water currents and debris washing ashore, but I do quite a number of cleanups and didn’t want anyone to get in trouble for trespassing or getting hurt on the property. We went back and forth in correspondence for a couple of days. Eventually I asked him if the trash had been cleared at any point, and if so, when, as it looked as if there was more debris than before. He responded, “Trash was removed on 5/25. If there is new trash, it sounds like a perpetual problem. Bob” “OK, do you have the resources to have a team out there to clean up when it gets rough? Am I OK to go out and survey the area for safety and potentially clean up a bit?” “No, we do not have any resources. I will have our engineers take a look and see if a fence can be built. It appears without something, it is a losing battle.” I waited a week. “Hey, Bob, what did the engineers figure out?” “Our engineers do not have a simple solution but are looking at options.” “OK. Let me know what they come up with. I’m chomping at the proverbial bit to get this mess ameliorated.” Two weeks later, that same large piece of wood that I had been staring at on the river’s littered edge was still there. The gnat was getting tired. July 7: “Hey, Bob, Just wanted to check in and see if the engineers came up with anything yet to prevent the trash in the area?” July 9: “No, we do not have a permanent solution.” July 27: I rode my bike over the Riverwalk to go Downtown. The large piece of wood is still there, the vegetation has gotten tall, the gnat is hurting from the continued concussive force. I emailed Bob a couple times. “Hey, Bob, I haven’t seen any improvement on the area cleanliness. Are we still working on this?” Despite the dismissal of my previous inquiry, I tried again for legal passage. “Hey, Bob, [w]anted to get your approval to legally get onto the land there to try to get a clean-up going. Is this possible or do I have to contact another person in order to not get in trouble with trespassing or whatnot?” That’s where we stand right now. It seems Bob has run out of answers and it’s getting pretty tough to see a company completely disregard their responsibility to clean up their property or allow someone else to do so. I understand there are safety and liability considerations, and all other kinds of legal fun to deal with, but there are waivers. There are people out there who want this river to be cleaner. Once I saw that trashed landscape, the only thing I wanted was for it to get cleaned up one way or another. I imagine there are others out there that see this when they use the Riverwalk, too, and are frustrated at being unable to see all of the beauty we have in Jacksonville because of the filth. The railroad will eat the fines and chug on down the line in their steel giants, not paying attention to the trash that lies at their wheels, but when the river gets sick, we have only our silence or willing blindness to blame.
