Readers react to blog posts and stories from the Jan. 24 issue. On Jan. 19, we reported that Orange County public school teachers planned to “teach to the contract” for a week next month in protest of the unpaid labor that is required for their jobs. At a meeting of the Orange County Classroom Teachers Association, union leaders said that teachers work, on average, over 20 unpaid hours beyond their contractual 37.5-hour workweek to complete mandated tasks. @Kenneth Fussell Teachers need to start acting like their time is more valuable and quit giving it away. Everyone knows papers are graded, projects put together after school, on weekends and holidays. Materials for the classroom are bought with their meager wages. Working strictly to contract is your only bargaining chip in Florida – do it until those in charge realize just how much gets done off the clock. @Tracy Benizzi How stupid. Who are you hurting? The reason you pursued this career.

@Reinaldo Rolo Disgusting that teachers are so very undervalued and underpaid. Charge more taxes and pay teachers what they deserve. They educate the future of this country. On Jan. 26, we reported on another instance in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers boarded another Greyhound bus at a Fort Lauderdale bus station to ask passengers for legal documents proving citizenship. At least one person with no criminal record was taken into custody, according to the Florida Immigrant Coalition. @Julio Jose Nieto It’s crazy you never see any Europeans being hassled about papers. @Jason Thomas This is stupid to even be a news story. “This just in, law enforcement is doing their job well.” @Dawn Ridgway We have become a police state, no longer “home of the free.” We have become frightened little children lashing out at all things, blaming our lacking on anyone.

A $13 million grant to help displaced Puerto Ricans in Florida find jobs, highlights from Orlando’s failed bid for Amazon’s HQ2 and other news you may have missed »

A $13 million grant to help displaced Puerto Ricans in Florida find jobs:

Announced Thursday by Rep. Val Demings, D-Orlando, the U.S. Secretary of Labor has awarded Florida more than $13 million for the National Dislocated Worker Grant. The program provides extra money to states as a response to an increased number of unemployed workers, such as the nearly 300,000 Puerto Ricans and Virgin Islanders who relocated to Florida following Hurricanes Irma and Maria.

CRC proposal could unravel privacy guarantees for Floridians:

An amendment proposed by the Constitution Revision Commission seeks to make changes to the state’s privacy provision. John Stemberger, president of the Florida Family Policy Council, who proposed the amendment, says it would merely “require Florida courts to interpret the privacy clause in the manner intended by its original drafters.” But Jon Mills, co-author of the state’s 1980 privacy amendment (so: one of those original drafters), says, “Florida’s privacy amendment offers Floridians a shield to protect themselves in a future in which technology and government intrusions are not predictable and frankly, completely unknowable. … If Florida’s privacy amendment did not extend protections to personal autonomy and decision-making, there is no doubt that Florida citizens would be subject to a higher possibility of governmental intrusion into their private lives.”

Orlando’s failed bid for Amazon’s HQ2 involved millions in tax incentives, free land and a new high school:

The Orlando Economic Partnership released details on Thursday from the region’s failed bid for Amazon’s secondary headquarters, and it’s safe to say Orlando really put it all out to woo the company, citing the talented workforce, available land and the commitment to digital infrastructure. At one point the proposal says, “We’re lit.” However, there were a couple of sections of the proposal that we thought were a little strange, like when it stated that we have a worthwhile public transportation system, and that Orlando has a very affordable cost of living. Visit our website for highlights from the 142-page proposal.

Floridians will decide on restoring voting rights to 1.5 million former felons in November:

The “Voting Restoration Amendment” will appear on the ballot this fall as Amendment 4, which would automatically restore the voting rights of Floridians with felony convictions after they have completed all terms of their sentence, including parole or probation. The amendment does not apply to those convicted of murder or sexual offenses – they would continue to be permanently barred from voting unless the governor and Cabinet decide to restore their voting rights on a case-by-case basis.

Interior Secretary apparently went ‘rogue’ in exempting Florida from offshore drilling plan:

U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is in the hot seat after he went “rogue” in the decision to exempt Florida from expanded offshore drilling, which left President Donald Trump reportedly not pleased. Sources with direct knowledge of the incident said that Trump had specifically asked Zinke about the drilling decision in a Jan. 10 cabinet meeting, just a day after the announcement, but that their conversation was not contentious. Per the report, Zinke did not coordinate with any member of the White House prior to making the decision. xpeters@orlandoweekly.com

THE SECRET SOCIETY (OF MORONS) Congratulations, everyone.

America has reached peak stupidity. It wasn’t easy to reach this apex of idiocy. It took tireless mendacity and an unflinching commitment to a dumb conspiracy theory, no matter how absurd it was to anyone with a triple-digit IQ. I speak, of course, about the Republican counteroffensive to Robert Mueller’s intensifying investigation into the Trump-Russia affair. Mueller, we learned last week, has already interviewed Attorney General Jeff Session and more than 20 members of the White House staff; he’s also requested an interview with Trump himself, which some Trump allies think is a “perjury trap,” because, well, Trump lies all the time. We also learned that, contrary to numerous White House denials, Trump indeed tried to fire Mueller in June, but was stopped by his White House counsel, who threatened to quit. This, of course, came a month after Trump fired former FBI director James Comey, who investigating possible collusion before Mueller took over. Trump is not exactly acting like an innocent party. Which makes the effort of Trump’s allies – both in Congress and in the media – to inoculate him from any possible charges all the more suspect. There’ve been a few recent developments on this front, each dumber than the last. The first is a four-page classified memo drawn up by Rep. Devin Nunes, the head of the House Intelligence Committee, who pledged to step aside from the Russia investigation (but actually didn’t) after he revealed classified information about the investigation to the media. This memo, which Nunes has declined to share with the Department of Justice or even Senate Republicans, purports to show that the Obama administration abused its surveillance power during the Trump transition – support for the spirit, if not the letter, of Trump’s claim that Obama bugged Trump Tower. The DOJ has warned that the release of this memo would be “extraordinarily reckless,” and Democrats familiar with its contents say it’s an intentional distortion of the actual evidence. But that hasn’t stopped Nunes and other far-right folks – including

Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida – from going on Fox News and claiming this as evidence of a deep-state conspiracy. So yeah, release the damn memo. Release all the supporting documentation, too – including any FISA warrants. And let’s see how the cards play out. My hunch is this sort of bungled half-truth is much more advantageous to the Trump cause than the entire truth. Second, there were the missing text message – five months of messages from thousands of FBI phones that had been lost. They were recovered within a few days, no big deal, but they prompted a slew of desk-pounding from the deep-state crew. See, among those missing messages were messages from an FBI agent who worked the Hillary Clinton investigation and the Trump investigation, and the FBI lawyer with whom he was having an affair. Other text messages revealed that they thought Trump was an idiot – FBI agents, I should note, are free to express political opinions – which Trump’s allies on the Hill and Fox News took as prima facie evidence that the fix was in and a conspiracy to ratfuck the president was afoot. At perhaps the height of absurdity, this prompted Fox Business host Lou Dobbs to wonder why the U.S. marshals weren’t arresting FBI brass. Actually, that wasn’t the height of absurdity. No, that came when Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin – echoed by Gaetz – went on TV and said that, based on “an informant” and one of these supposedly illicit text messages, there was a “secret society” of FBI agents who were plotting a coup. This, of course, prompted a day of outrage and demands that Mueller’s investigation close up shop. But then, as always happens, the air went out of the balloon. ABC News obtained the memo in question, and it said, in full: “Are you even going to give out your calendars? Seems kind of depressing. Maybe it should just be the first meeting of the secret society.” Which brings us to our man Gaetz, the freshman congressman from the Alabama end of the Panhandle, who’s doing his level best to build a national profile for himself by going on television and acting the damned fool. He is, in CNN’s Chris Cillizza’s words,

“one of the most outspoken proponents of the idea that there is some sort of ‘Deep State’ conspiracy within the government – and the FBI, in particular – aimed at undermining President Donald Trump.” Gaetz was the first Republican to sponsor a resolution demanding that Mueller step down over the demonstrably bogus Uranium One “scandal,” which took place when Mueller was head of the FBI. He demanded that Sessions step down if he was unwilling to appoint a special counsel to look into Uranium One and other supposed Hillary Clinton crimes. And now he’s on Fox News every chance he gets, ominously warning the channel’s army of gullible viewers about the deep state. And on one of those visits to Trump’s propaganda network, Gaetz made this observation about the then-missing FBI texts: “It would be the greatest coincidence since the Immaculate Conception that it just happened to be the case that right after Obama sics the intelligence community on Trump, the text messages go dark, and they only reappear the day that Robert Mueller is hired to investigate the president. Come on, the American people won’t believe that’s a coincidence, and I don’t believe it, either.” Which later led to this hilarious exchange with CNN’s Chris Cuomo: Cuomo: What do you mean by the Immaculate Conception? Gaetz: Look, I was making a point that this is an absurd coincidence. Cuomo: By what? What do you think happened with the Immaculate Conception? Gaetz: The Immaculate Conception, it’s obviously a religious doctrine that deals with the Christian faith. Cuomo: I know. Where is the analogy? That’s what I don’t understand. What do you think happened with the Immaculate Conception? Gaetz: Look, did you really bring me on to discuss my religious views, Chris? I’m a Christian and I believe the Immaculate Conception was how Jesus was born. Gaetz can be dismissed as an idiot, sure. But there’s a larger point to this: It’s becoming increasingly difficult for Republicans to defend Trump and attack the FBI’s investigation without utterly beclowning themselves. Except, that’s not how it’s playing on Fox, and not how it’s playing to Trump’s base. The strategy is simple: Sow seeds of doubt, and then, if Mueller says the president or his associates have done something felonious, just blame it on the deep state and move along. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

BY SETH KUBERSKY

On Jan. 31, 2008, Orlando Weekly published the very first edition of Live Active Cultures, and no one is more surprised than I that you’re still reading 10 years later. To celebrate the start of my second decade, I’m finally combining two of my all-time favorite topics into a single column: cats and carnage. The only thing I love more than a gory movie full of stomach-churning splatter is watching one while cuddling my faithful feline companion, who always snuggles me through the slaughter when my wife flees in disgust. Hopefully I’m not alone in appreciating this perverse pairing, because my recent sneak preview of the anticipated Orlando-area premiere of The Lieutenant of Inishmore provided me a long-awaited opportunity to explore the intersection of horrific special effects and adorable kitties. If you’re familiar with playwright Martin MacDonagh’s acclaimed other works for stage (Lonesome West, The Pillowman) and screen (In Bruges, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) then you’ve had a taste of his talent for caustic black comedy. But nothing can really prepare you for Inishmore’s outrageous cocktail of ultraviolence and political satire, which left me stunned when I saw the original Broadway production in 2006. I’ve been wishing for a local production longer than I’ve been writing LAC, and now that it’s being staged at the Garden Theatre (Feb. 2-25, gardentheatre.org), I only hope the heart attack rate in Winter Garden doesn’t skyrocket. My Inishmore preview tour began at AEO Studios, the mad-scientist laboratory masterminded by makeup and effects artist Alan Ostrander. Ostrander’s outfit has been operating in Orlando for 21 years, “creating everything from demons to divas,” as he likes to say. A self-proclaimed theater brat who “grew up” on the Civic [now Orlando Rep] stage, he started doing makeup in high school, finding his niche in Halloween and horror. Ostrander designed characters

The Orlando-area premiere of The Lieutenant of Inishmore combines two of my favorite things: horrific special effects and adorable kitties for Terror on Church Street and the first Fright Nights at Universal Studios Florida before introducing spooky celebrations to China’s Ocean Park in 2001, earning him the nickname “Hong Kong’s father of Halloween.” His company now creates everything from corpses for film and television to ogre hands and heads for the Shrek musical. “We get the calls for things that no one can find,” says Ostrander. “It’s something different every day.” For The Lieutenant of Inishmore, Ostrander has [SPOILER ALERT] built a bevy of dead bodies, both human and feline. I got to examine a couple of expired cats in various stages of construction, from foam bodies and faux fur to hand-painted eyeballs. He’s also cooking up multiple batches of stage blood (“squirt blood that flies through the air, thick blood paste that doesn’t run everywhere, static gelatin blood to pre-treat the body parts”) along with explosive air-power effects like a “kitty cannon” for when the fur starts to fly. Ostrander jokes that “we’re going to get letters” about the gruesome gags, and insists that while he “wants the audience leaving the theater shaking their head at ‘how did they do that,’” he also wants to assure everyone that no real cats were harmed in the making of this show, “though I’ve almost volunteered my own a couple times when they acted up.” That leads us into Part Two of my

Inishmore preview, an exclusive interview with Dr. Bombay, the cat playing the key role of Wee Thomas. A handsome black 3-year-old male, this star in the making has his own dressing room (which he graciously allows his co-star Rachel Comeau to share), but we chatted on a backstage couch while his bipedal castmates prepared for rehearsal. Beth Marshall, who also happens to be the play’s producer, served as interpreter for our conversation, which covered his audition process (“I had to beat out a lot of other cats, including Onyx, who was trained and owned by the producer. I won because I’m that badass”), his wide acting range (“I’m only 3 years old, but playing 15”) and his motivation as a performer (“It’s all about the green, baby. I like Greenies natural cat treats”). Dr. Bombay has experienced some friction with a few colleagues (“I almost scratched Don Fowler [who plays Donny] because he was yelling”) but generally remains cool under pressure: “Considering there are guns pointed at me, I think I’m pretty chill.” Joseph Fabian, who plays Davey, praises Bombay as a giving scene partner, saying, “It takes some adjustment for him being in the space, but once he got used to it we sat down and had a really nice conversation.” Fabian admits that “the one thing you always have to be careful of is that he will upstage you, but that’s OK because he’s the focus.” Marshall is a fellow Halloween fanatic, and almost as much of a crazy cat lady as I am, so it’s fitting that Inishmore will be her company’s 15th and final (“for now”) production at the Garden Theatre, which is shifting to internally produced shows. “It’s been 10 years here; it’s a good time to transition, and a good show to go out on,” says Marshall, adding that she’s looking forward to her next season featuring exclusively female playwrights. Wherever Marshall lands next, I’m sure it will be on her feet, in full feline fashion. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

And if last year was any indication, some of the restaurants listed below may not open at all (Circo recently got the square) and many will experience postponements courtesy of permitting wrangles, construction delays, money shortages and/or the ever-present unforeseen circumstance. Though, for the sake of our collective stomachs, I really hope not. CONTINUED ON PAGE 26

CHELA TEQUILA & TACOS AGAVE AZUL The azure-hued taqueria has been somewhat of a favorite in Metrowest, but how will the Winter Park set take to it? Likely pretty well (this is accessible Mexican fare, after all) but, then again, burgers are accessible too and that didn’t help the space’s predecessor – Square 1 Burgers – all too much. (Opening March; 900 S. Orlando Ave., Winter Park; agaveazulorlando.com)

So the Bento Group (who run Bento Asian Kitchen, Avenue Gastrobar and Sticky Rice) decided their other concept – Kasa – needed a rebrand, and so Chela Tequila & Tacos was born. Chela’s Mexican fare is a whole lot less highbrow than the globally inspired small plates coming out of Kasa’s kitchen but, hey, who doesn’t love a good taco? Knowing the Bento guys, they’ll do ’em right. (Opened January; 183 Orange Ave.; chelatacos.com)

CHOULALA FINE PASTRIES BEM BOM ON CORRINE OK, they were supposed to open in February … of 2017, but we’re pretty sure it’ll be worth the wait to gorge on chef Francisco “Chico” Mendonça’s creations now that he has a full kitchen in which to work. Portuguese fare, with French and Mexican influences, is his specialty and it’s what made the Bem Bom food truck a popular draw. The gut-rehab of the old BB&T Bank building on Corrine Drive has taken much longer than expected, but we’re almost there, folks. (Opening February; 3101 Corrine Drive, bembomfood.com)

CAFÉ LINGER A café with European flair and freshmade pastries in College Park. Sound familiar? Well, Tartine Café & Eatery will have some competition when Johnson & Wales grads Michael Brito and Christina Gribkowsky open their Café Linger in the old NYPD Pizza space this spring. The pair plan on serving weekend brunch, and vegan options won’t be mere afterthoughts either. Linger we will. (Opening spring; 2912 Edgewater Drive; cafelinger.com)

CALLE 3 M3XICAN STR33T KITCH3N Never mind the annoying number jumble in the name. What chef-owner Leo Santos and his wife, Shirley, bring to the streets of Apopka is a true taste of the calles of Ciudad de México: elotes and papas fritas; slowcooked carnitas served with pickled onions on homemade corn tortillas; flautas with potato and chorizo; homemade Mexican flan. Say it with me: road trip! (Opened January; 1664 S. Orange Blossom Trail, Apopka; 407-703-2569)

CARO-BAMA BBQ Yet another in the line of food trucks going brick-and-mortar, Caro-Bama BBQ by husband-and-wife tandem Lora and Brandon Gantt will feature a hot sandwich bar inside the North Quarter Market, filling the void left by Farmacy. As the name suggests, their offerings fuse the smoking traditions of the Carolinas and Alabama. Yee-haw. (Opening February; 885 N. Orange Ave.; caro-bamabbq.com)

Here’s a no-brainer: a proper patisserie on Park Avenue. Choulala’s choux pastries will certainly provide boutique shoppers with a pause délicieuse for sweet choux, salty choux, entremets (think eclairs, mousses, brioches) and pan bagnat. That’s plenty of reasons to take a load off your Tory Burch loafers. (Opening February; 340 N. Park Ave., Winter Park; choulala-pastries.com)

CLADDAGH COTTAGE We’ve all been waiting for Claddagh’s grand reopening in the newly minted Hourglass District and, judging from recent social media posts, the Irish pub is looking as cozy as the original, if not more so. I’m relishing the day when I can indulge in cottage pie and a proper pint while trying to beat the regulars at trivia. (Opening spring; 2421 Curry Ford Road; facebook.com/claddaghcottagepub)

CREPEWAY CAFFE I have fond memories of Konstantinos “Chef Dino” Chilias’ La Creperia Cafe in Pointe Orlando, so when word came that he was opening a crepe joint on Park Avenue, my thoughts veered to the numerous crepes Suzette I enjoyed at his crêperie back in the day. (Opening winter; 513 S. Park Ave., Winter Park)

DELANEY’S TAVERN Two doctors walk into a bar and decide to open a restaurant. No joke. Dr. Tom Winters and wife Dr. Becky Moroose will open a “Cheers-style restaurant and bar” inside the new Delaney Hotel on the site of the old Doc’s on South Orange Avenue. As far as the food, expect “international cuisine” in small plates and shareable portions. Liquid scrips can be enjoyed inside a 360-degree bar. (Opening May; 1315 S. Orange Ave.; eatdt.com)

DIGRESS WINE The new owners of Cavanaugh’s Fine Wines will give the College Park mainstay a thorough rebrand and a concept tweak. After some exterior and interior work, Cavanaugh’s will transform into Digress and, praise Dionysus, offer wines by the glass. (Opening March; 1215 Edgewater Drive)

DISTRICT GASTROBAR & SOCIAL EATING HOUSE An upscale restaurant opening in the Parramore District is just a sign of how much the downtown neighborhood has changed. Come spring, the District Gastrobar & Social Eating House will serve dishes like pankocrusted jalapeño oysters, mussels in saffron broth and, be still your millennial hearts, okonomiyaki. A top-flight whiskey program is being developed as well. (Opening spring; 532 W. Church St.)

THE EDISON Another in a line of restaurants that was supposed to have opened last year, the Edison finally did this January and Disneyphiles have been relishing the postindustrial, steampunk-themed surroundings of the Disney Springs eatery. And also that 28-day dry-aged prime rib. (Opened January; Disney Springs; theedisonfla.com)

EL BUDA Roberto Treviño, the man who battled Mario Batali on Iron Chef America, opened his Nuevo Latino restaurant inside the Bumby Arcade on Church Street in December and his Latin-Asian fusion creations are simply stunning. The man has some serious kitchen cred, and two of his fusion creations – pork and sweet plantain dumplings and duck breast with honey-miso potatoes – are instant classics. (Opened December; 116 W. Church St.; elbudarest.com)

FORD’S GARAGE In their relentless, ahem, drive to expand across the state, the self-described “neighborhood burger and beer joint” is poised to put it into park at the Hamlin Town Center in the Windermere/Winter Garden corridor this summer. In addition to the pricey burgers (their standard burger will run you close to $11), there’s plenty of classic comfort fare to be had amid a Prohibition-era, service station motif. (Opening summer; Hamlin Town Center, Winter Garden; fordsgarageusa.com)

FOXTAIL’S FARMHOUSE Sure, Foxtail Coffee Co.’s next-door offspring will bring more seats to the popular Winter Park beanery – but more than that, coffee obsessives will really get to tap into their inner Juan Valdez. A siphon bar will gurgle out delicate cups of brew, and classes will be held to help increase your arabica IQ. (Opening February; 1282 N. Orange Ave., Winter Park; whatisthefarmhouse.com)

housed the Just Drive car repair shop sometime between now and March. Until then, sample his coffee at one of the many pop-ups Alvarez stages in the Mills 50 District. (Opening March; 1050 N. Mills Ave.; vitalunacafe.com)

GARP & FUSS One of the finest dining spaces in the city is now home to Garp & Fuss, a quaint resto off Park Avenue serving “American fusion cuisine” in a vintage industrial setting. The menu is still being tweaked, but you’ll find a focused selection of salads, flatbreads, handhelds and meatless options like Buffalo cauliflower, boiled peanuts, and butternut squash and apple soup. (Opened January; 348 N. Park Ave., Winter Park; garpandfuss.com)

GRILLS LAKESIDE The third restaurant in the “Grills” family is also the first not to be situated on the ocean. Grills Lakeside is, yes, on a lake (Lake Fairview, to be exact) in College Park, but the ambience is as laid-back and tiki-tastic as the others. Notable fact: They have a separate lionfish menu. (Opened January; 4301 N. Orange Blossom Trail; grillsseafood.com)

HEIRLOOM DELI The location for the all-vegan eatery by former Blink-182 road chef Mary Mattern and A Day to Remember guitarist Neil Westfall has yet to be determined, but we do know Heirloom Deli will be styled after the Jewish delis Mattern frequented as a child in Suffern, New York, as well as the now-closed Cermak’s Subs in Leesburg, a personal favorite of Westfall’s. (Opening April; instagram.com/heirloomdeli)

IRON COW From the owner who brought you the Sandwich Bar comes this recently opened Milk District hotspot that’s equal parts music venue, cocktail bar and restaurant. The menu is limited, but items are being added, including vegan options. (Opened December; 2438A E. Robinson St.; ironcowcafe.com)

JALEO The celeb chef carousel at Disney Springs continues to go ’round and ’round with Jose Andres now joining the fray. Jaleo’s extensive menu of traditional and contemporary Spanish fare (yes, jamón Ibérico de bellota will be offered) will reflect Spain’s regional diversity. There are four other Jaleos, but the Disney Springs outpost will be the “biggest and most spectacular Jaleo yet.” (Opening spring; Disney Springs; jaleo.com)

JINYA RAMEN BAR FRAMEWORK CRAFT COFFEE HOUSE While slightly behind schedule, owner Danny Alvarez hopes to commence brewing inside the way-cool building that once

tear but, unlike the others, their Maitland City Centre location will offer table service in addition to quick service. Plus full liquor may be offered in the future at the 3,000-square-foot pizzeria. (Opening late summer; 145 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland; mymidici.com)

PETER’S KITCHEN LEGUMINATI After a dispute ended Leguminati’s foray into the Milk District, the trio behind the vegan operation have teamed up with Foxtail Coffee Co. and will open inside the beanery’s new space in the Hourglass District. Breakfast, lunch and dinner options will be served seven days a week and will include everything from their CrunchMacs to breakfast sandwiches. (Opening April; 2401 Curry Ford Road; bean-team.com)

LITTLE BLUE DONUT CO. We all shed a tear when Scratch shuttered last summer, but those frowns turned upside down when Little Blue Donut Co. announced they were rolling into the Fairbanks Avenue space. Yes, we just can’t seem to get enough of doughnuts. It’s yet another example of a popular food truck setting up a permanent shop. (Opening March; 223 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park; facebook.com/littlebluedonuttruck)

MANZANO’S DELI Permitting delays (what else is new?) prevented this New Smyrna Beach fixture from opening late last year on Fairbanks Avenue in Winter Park, but we’ll be gorging on their notoriously big sandwiches and subs – made with bread flown in from artisan bakers Tribeca Oven in New Jersey – in a matter of weeks. (Opening March; 221 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park; manzanosdeli.com)

MARIA & ENZO’S The Patina Restaurant Group continues to add to their Disney restaurant portfolio (Morimoto Asia, Via Napoli, Tutto Italia) and their latest, a Deco-styled behemoth complete with faux aviation backstory, proffers a taste of Southern Italy. (Opened January; Disney Springs; patinagroup.com/maria-enzos

MEZA MEDITERRANEAN GRILL Another restaurant that should’ve been open by now is this Baldwin Park Middle Eastern boîte by Nazih Sebaali (the man who gave us the venerable Café Annie). The kebab house with full bar will sit next door to Seito Sushi and offer the gamut of Lebanese-leaning staples, including labneh. (Opening spring; 1780 Jake St.; mezaorlando.com)

MIDICI The California-based Neapolitan pizza chain has been on a nationwide expansion

Peter Leung, who used to own Tasty Wok and developed the menu at Ming Bistro, opened his latest venture on East Colonial Drive and gastronomes flocked in droves for two dishes – the orange chicken and the butter lobster. Both are worthy. Dim sum, BTW, is offered daily – served from carts on weekends only. (Opened December; 3922 E. Colonial Drive; facebook.com/peterskitchenchinabistro)

POKE-HANA It was to be a lobster roll joint, but the King Bao owners decided to switch concepts and offer trendy Hawaiian poke bowls instead. They’ve experienced numerous delays, but a marquee is up so, hey, that’s progress. (Opening winter; 1225A E. Colonial Drive; facebook.com/pokehanamills50)

SHIRAZ HOUSE OF GRILL The old Topp N’ Pie on Alafaya Trail will soon give way to a Persian restaurant and, frankly, we couldn’t be happier. Kebabs, stews, soups, Iranian-style pastas, and even desserts will be offered. If you’re thinking saffron and rosewater doughnuts, you’d be spot on. (Opening March; 688 N. Alafaya Trail; shirazhouseofgrill.com)

SPICE INDIAN GRILL Delays have plagued this UCF-area restaurant, but when Suresh Subedi’s tandoori joint finally opens in the strip mall that also houses Valkyrie Doughnuts, East Orlando will be treated to haute Indian cuisine. (Opening March; 4498 N. Alafaya Trail; spiceindiangrillorlando.com)

STASIO’S ITALIAN DELI & MARKET Giovanni Fernandez and Elise Sabatino are the power couple behind the Hourglass District project, but they also own the building on the corner of Bumby Avenue and Robinson Street where Stasio’s Italian Deli & Market will open. Grab-and-go items like sandwiches and pizza will be offered, as will espresso. The market component will hawk sundry imported Italian goodies. (Opening April; 2320 E. Robinson St.)

STICKY RICE LAO STREET FOOD You can order the entire menu of Laotian delicacies for about $60 at this Mills 50 newcomer, but you’ll do well to settle for just the standouts – lemongrass pork sausages, sesame beef jerky, street wings, papaya salad CONTINUED ON PAGE 33

THE SUGAR SOW BACON & BBQ The bacon confectioners known for such gems as chocolate-praline bacon brownies and bourbon brown-sugar bacon roses will add barbecue to the mix when they move into the wee space next to Tamale & Co. Take-Out in Altamonte Springs. Yeah, you read right – bacon and barbecue. (Opening spring; 1006 E. Altamonte Drive, Altamonte Springs; facebook.com/thesugarsow)

TERRALINA CRAFTED ITALIAN Top Chef Master and James Beard Award

winner Tony Mantuano will have a heavier hand in the goings-on at Disney Springs’ Terralina than he did with the space’s predecessor, Portobello Country Italian Trattoria. The fare, however, will be somewhat similar (we’re told it’s inspired by Italy’s Lake District) with the wood-fired oven front and center. (Opening spring; Disney Springs; terralinacrafteditalian.com)

TIN & TACO The SoDo outpost of Tin & Taco will be much larger than the downtown original and offer more menu items like chorizo, carnitas, grilled sirloin, empanadas and churros. To wash all that food down, the taqueria will incorporate a beer package store on site. (Opening April; 419 E. Michigan St.; tinandtaco.com)

TORI TORI The traditional Japanese pub (izakaya) is the “missing piece” to our city’s culinary scene, says owner Sonny Nguyen, who also runs Domu at East End Market. The name is a play off “yakitori” (so, yes, expect to see grilled chicken over charcoal). Nguyen says it will “stick to true Japanese roots, but incorporate modern takes.” (Opening summer; 720 N. Mills Ave.; facebook.com/toritoripub)

TUTTO CAFFE Yeah, this high-end Italian coffeehouse was supposed to have opened in Baldwin Park this time last year, so we’ll just hold out hope that Tutto Caffe starts caffeinating in February of this year (the new target

date). We’re itching to see that coffee printer allowing baristas to print images and artwork on milk foam in action. (Opening February; 4833 New Broad St.; tuttocaffe.online)

VOODOO DOUGHNUT “The Magic Is in the Hole” is Voodoo Doughnut’s credo, and the pair behind the cult fave – Kenneth “Cat Daddy” Pogson and Tres Shannon – are set to penetrate the very penetrable market of Orlando. They’ll set up shop in family-friendly Universal CityWalk so expect to see their less risqué-named, yet still thoroughly sinful, creations such as the “Dirt Doughnut” and “Bacon Maple Bar.” (Opening spring; Universal CityWalk; voodoodoughnut.com)

WALK-ON’S BISTREAUX & BAR His playoff run may have ended, but his restaurant run is just beginning. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees goes deep into the I-Drive fray with his popular multistory sports bar chain. Naturally, the place will serve bar fare with Cajun twists – think fried gator, Cajundillas, and, umm, crawfish etou-ways. (Opening winter; 8100 block of International Drive; walk-ons.com)

WINE BAR GEORGE Sure, it’s six months behind schedule, but when master sommelier George Miliotes’ namesake wine bar finally opens in Disney Springs, it’ll take on the look of a “winemaker’s home estate” and offer more than 100 selections by the bottle and glass in a range of varietals, vintages and prices. A menu of small plates will be offered to complement the wine list. (Opening spring; Disney Springs; winebargeorge.com)

WOLFGANG PUCK BAR & GRILL A taste of Spago at Disney Springs? You ain’t champagne-wishing or caviar-dreaming! Wolfgang Puck, one of the OG celebrity chefs, will open his bar and grill in the new “Town Center” area of Disney Springs. Cali cuisine with Med influences is what’s touted, as is the restaurant’s interior, designed by the famed Tony Chi, who’s also worked with Alain Ducasse and Michael Mina.

Winchester

BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER

THIS WEEK: This week’s column is the first one I’ve submitted since the 2018 Academy Award nominations were announced. So now we all get to enjoy together the resolution of one of the thorniest controversies of the past year. GOLDEN GLOBES: Get Out is a comedy. JORDAN PEELE: Get Out is a documentary. OSCARS: Get Out is a narrative feature. JORDAN PEELE: That’s fine. Yeah, there’s nothing like a Best Picture nod to make you wonder why you were splitting hairs. But since I don’t get to share in the glory, I can keep asking all sorts of uncomfortable questions. Like, what does this nomination even mean? Is it further evidence after District 9 that the Academy will reward genre pictures as long as they display a significant social conscience? (If so, who gets to claim The Shape of Water: Greenpeace or the American Society for the Mute?) Would The Stepford Wives have been recognized had the Best Picture category in 1976 allowed for 10 nominees instead of five? Should the makers of the Purge films start pursuing Daniel DayLewis? Would a nice gift basket help? More immediately, what are the implications for the month of February? Once a dumping ground for crap horror, is it becoming a launching pad for woke scares? That’s something to think about as we prepare for the weekend’s one big release:

to no advance planning or emphasis on internal consistency. Stairs went nowhere, windows overlooked other rooms, and the overall architectural asymmetry was enough to make M.C. Escher, Shirley Jackson and Stanley Kubrick all say, “Take your base.” There was a method to Mrs. Winchester’s madness: She was convinced she was being haunted by the ghost of everyone who had been killed by one of her late husband’s rifles, so she needed a single edifice in which she could entrap them all. And boy, isn’t that a timely metaphor. Maybe in 100 years or so, we’ll get a movie in which Mrs. Bushmaster has to fend off the vengeful spirits of the Las Vegas victims. For now, we can merely hope that Winchester rises to the challenge of gunculture critique its subject matter inherently poses. The presence of Helen Mirren in the lead role would seem to portend the required seriousness; I’m less encouraged by the retention of directors Michael and Peter Spierig, whose last picture, Jigsaw, wasn’t exactly hailed as an impassioned plea for public responsibility. So like anyone who dates Taylor Swift, I’m going to hope for the best and prepare for crushing disappointment. Worst-case scenario, I can convince myself that what Get Out really heralded was the permanent spillover of Black History Month onto the screen. Wakanda forever! (PG-13)

ALSO PLAYING: Winchester In 1884, Sarah Winchester, widow of gun magnate William Wirt Winchester, commissioned the building of a house like no other. It was a seven-story monstrosity erected literally from the ground up, with little

FANNYPACK, SPORTS REFERENCE AND TOURIST SEASON, THE FALCON, JAN. 27

It was a night of decent but literal acts. Although occasionally brawnier with the rock, Gainesville’s Sports Reference were by-the-numbers classic emo. And solo local act Tourist Season – perhaps the most apropos name for an Orlando act ever – was straightforward folk-punk. But the highlight of the night, FannyPack, came as a total curve ball. To refresh memories, FannyPack were a New York City party-rap act that struck a little lightning early this millennium with the comical throwback bass jam “Cameltoe.” It was an underground smash way back in 2003 that I totally dug, so imagine how my eyes popped to see the name on a bill here in 2018 buried among a Central Florida roster. Ha, well, it seems that despite the same exact distinctive moniker stylized in the same exact distinctive way, this FannyPack is not that one. Needless to say, it was a bummer realization. You don’t even know. This FannyPack are a Daytona Beach rock band that’s probably too young to even know who the OG FannyPack were. As it turns out, though, they’ve got their own thing entirely, and it’s on the pulse. I try not to overextend the words “girl” or “female” as a descriptor, but they call themselves a girl band (even with a new male drummer) and it’s with purpose and pride. Without question, their punk-hopped jams were full of heart and fun. But under it all, propelling everything from their music to their bearing, was a bursting

Fannypack’s punkhopped jams were full of heart and fun. Propelling everything was a bursting sense of empowerment and optimism. sense of empowerment and optimism, one that is unmistakably now. And there’s no more crystal-clear embodiment of that than their iconic singer Martha Lawrence, who is a natural performer and a powerful presence. Pop-punk didn’t ask for it but it needed one, and now it’s got its own Sinéad O’Connor (a comparison not made lightly and one that goes far beyond just the shaved head). In not just my own head but in the fever of the entire room, it was clear: FannyPack were the ones who brought the buzz. And what this Orlando debut proved is that this band is a potential star that deserves to shoot. See what the fuss is all about for yourselves when they return to the Falcon on Feb. 16 alongside excellent Tampa band DieAlps!, probably the most exciting prospect right now on New Granada Records.

ZIGTEBRA, VOLCANIST AND DEAREST, IRON COW, JAN. 25

Last week in my first peek inside the big new Milk District venue Iron Cow, I mistakenly noted that it’s a beer bar. In actuality, it’s full-ass liquor. So, go nuts, y’all.

The draw was yet another showcase by Ugly Orange promoter Nicole Dvorak, this time headlined by Chicago’s Zigtebra, an act that just came off a campaign to make a new song and accompanying video for every month of 2017. Musically, the duo of Emily Rose and Joe Zeph play lo-fi synth-pop shaped as much by economy as it is dance. At their best, they’re something like an earthlier, more garage Grimes. Even with a simplistic setup and ethos, they perform with a sense of wonder that’s contagious, likable and utterly pure. What their basic electronic pop does show, though, is how secondary things like production and hardware are when you got the songs. Also on the night’s bill was Volcanist, an ambitious homegrown group that’s been bubbling up in the local scene lately. As a band augmented by live electronics, the trio venture further out to craft a signature vocabulary informed equally by silvery, futuristic soul and indie rock. It’s a sound of dynamic balance – smooth but complex, clean but oblique. Even if it doesn’t always stick the landing and can sometimes play a little outlandish, one thing it doesn’t do is settle for ordinary. Opening the evening was local solo act Dearest, who impressed opening up for Perfume Genius back in October. When it comes to loop acts, this guitar project by Tracy Farah – now with keyboard added to the repertoire – is one of the most elegant, crafting post-rock that’s diaphanous but sculpted enough to be real songs instead of just wallpaper impressionism. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Dirtybird Campout East MUSIC

Floridian festival freaks breathed a huge sigh of relief last year when it was announced that Dirtybird Campout, the acclaimed Californian dance music weekender, was planning an East Coast version in our own backyard. While Okeechobee – entering its third year this March – was a much-needed injection of a higher-tiered festival into the Florida mix, the pickings have been generally slim when it comes to spring festival season on the peninsula. And unlike Okeechobee, Dirtybird has a laser focus on dance music, but with an impressive depth and range on offer. The disco house of Maximono is set up alongside neo-industrial beats from Louisahhh, the old-school house of Green Velvet and jazzy drum-and-bass from Roni Size. Throw in camping activities like kickball, tug-of-war and barbecue picnics and it’s a setup for a perfect spring kick-off. – Thaddeus McCollum noon | Forever Florida, 4755 N.

Adam Ant MUSIC

You’ve got to hand it to new wave legend Adam Ant; through good times (pop superstardom and “Antmania” in the ’80s) and bad (pulling a starter pistol on strangers in a London pub in 2002 and being placed in a psychiatric ward), he’s always managed to stand and deliver in the end. From his spiky beginnings running with the OG U.K. ’77 punks, which quickly led to a role in Derek Jarman’s Jubilee and his embryonic Adam and the Ants being managed by tastemaker Malcolm McLaren, it was clear that Ant wasn’t long for the punk underground. And when McLaren absconded with all of Adam’s Ants – to form Bow Wow Wow, no less – Ant was free to fully take the creative reins, recruiting a new group of what we can only call “colorful pirates” and quickly penning hits like “Antmusic” and “Dog Eat Dog.” And Ant was the spectacular centerpiece, looking like a glorious hybrid of David Bowie, Elvis and Errol Flynn. For this rescheduled show to make up for a cancellation in the wake of Hurricane Irma, a rejuvenated Ant promises “Anthems” and nothing but. Get ready for the toppermost of the poppermost. – Matthew Moyer 6 p.m. | The Beacham, 46 N. Orange Ave. | 407-246-1419 | thebeacham.com | $30-$130

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK 50

Themes from legendary film composers like John Williams and Hans Zimmer meet the circus this weekend when the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra performs iconic scores while gymnasts flip, twirl and fly right above their heads. The new Cirque de la Symphonie program features music from movie classics such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, Batman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Mission Impossible – and it wouldn’t be a symphony without music from Titanic. Having studied under Grammy Award-winning maestro Michael Tilson Thomas, Yaniv Segal conducts the orchestra during this one-day event with aerialists, acrobats, contortionists, dancers, jugglers, balancers and strongmen adding visual spectacle. – Shayla Phillips 2 & 8 p.m. | Bob Carr Theater, 401 W.

AIDS Walk Orlando: Celebrity EVENTS

Help be the change you want to see while burning a few calories in the process. The only thing necessary for this event is comfortable shoes and a smile. The AIDS Walk Orlando is an annual event that helps to promote HIV education and free testing opportunities in an engaging atmosphere. This year’s theme is “Celebrity”; walkers are encouraged to dress up like their favorite celebrity or their celebrity look-alike. So grab the Nikes, the company T-shirt and a wig that Diana Ross would be proud of, and raise some money for a worthy cause. – Linzie Lawton 5-9 p.m. | Walt Disney Amphitheater, Lake Eola Park, 512 E.

Trash 2 Trends: A Recycled Fashion Show EVENTS

No, it’s not the Derelicte collection brought to you by Mugatu from Zoolander. Trash 2 Trends may have models wearing literal garbage down the runway, but it isn’t what you think. The annual fundraiser brings the art and sustainability worlds together by inviting artists to create fashion pieces to be worn down the runway, made from items destined for landfills. You’d never know without being told, though. The show was started by Keep Orlando Beautiful, an organization that hosts community clean-ups, plants trees and promotes recycling. There is a cocktail hour with reception-style food prior to the show, along with a cash bar. Make sure to save those plastic cups: They could be used in someone’s outfit next year. – Gunnar Shuler 7-10 p.m. | SeaWorld Orlando Ports of Call, 7007 Sea World Drive | cityoforlando.net | $45-$120

Uncomfortable Brunch: Female Trouble FILM

Though Pink Flamingos gets the lion’s share of notoriety and shock-valuin’ love, Female Trouble (1974) is the most fiercely glittering jewel in the early John Waters canon. This is the film that is the apex of early Waters obsessions and themes and techniques. How do I love thee, Female Trouble? Let me count the ways. Divine’s tour-de-force acting as the unhinged Dawn Davenport, a Frankenstein’s monster of beauty through crime. David Lochary and Mary Vivian Pierce as the fashionably futuristic but morally corrupt Donald and Donna Dasher, with every outfit more glamorously unhinged than the last. The scene of Divine/Dawn quite literally killing her fans (after throwing fish and ripping a phonebook in half, pre-empting G.G. Allin), while iconically screaming, “Who wants to die for art!?” The riff about shooting up liquid eyeliner. The cha-cha heels and Christmas tree destruction scene at the film’s beginning. Even Divine sporting arguably the first mohawk in underground circles during the over-the-top, Manson Family-referencing ending. This is, no hyperbole, one of the high points of underground, midnight cinema – and it only gets better with age. Presented by the kind sociopaths of – what else – Uncomfortable Brunch. – MM 1 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | facebook.com/uncomfortablebrunch | $10-$12

Darsombra MUSIC

For underground and weirdo music enthusiasts, early February in Florida is the mooooost wonderful time of the yeaaaaar, as practitioners par excellence of said sonic weirdness migrate south for the annual and epochal International Noise Conference in Miami. And few are as weird (and epochal) as Baltimorean psych-freak ensemble Darsombra. Brian Daniloski and Ann Everton are like a beam of light going straight into your skull, not so much “noise” as a distillation of psychedelia down to the most wigged-out essentials. Darsombra are a two-person Hawkwind, a hypnotic explosion of weird lighting, Tony Iommi guitar, Rick Wakeman (OK, not really) synths, and fluid tandem body and hair movement that will fry your little optical nerves and all the cerebral tissue attached. Get ready to squeegee that third eye. – MM with TTN, Ootheca, Fake Music for Fake People, Ray Brazen | 8 p.m. | Stardust Video & Coffee, 1842 E.

B Y D A N S AVA G E

I am a 38-year-old lesbian, very femme, very out. I have a co-worker I can’t figure out. We’ve worked together for a year and gotten very close. I never want to put out the wrong signals to co-workers, and I err on the side of keeping a safe but friendly distance. This is different. We are each other’s confidants at work. We stare at each other across the office, we text until late at night, and we go for weekend dog walks. Her texts aren’t overtly flirty, but they are intimate and feel more than friendly. I’ve never had a “straight” girl act like this toward me. Is she into me? Or just needy? Is it all in my head? Workplace Obsession Roiling Knowing-If-Nervous Gal Five weeks ago, a letter writer jumped down my throat for giving advice to lesbians despite not being a lesbian myself. Questions from lesbians have been pouring in ever since – lesbians apparently don’t like being told who they may or may not ask for advice. Three weeks ago, I responded to a man whose co-worker asked him if he might want to sleep with the co-worker’s wife – a co-worker who was “not [his] boss” – and people jumped down my throat for entertaining the idea because it is NEVER EVER NEVER EVER OK to sleep with a co-worker and/or a co-worker’s spouse. And now here I am responding to a question from a lesbian who wants to sleep with a co-worker. Farewell to my mentions, as the kids say. Here we go, WORKING … Your straight-identified workmate could be straight, or she could be a lesbian (lots of lesbians come out later in life) or she could be bisexual (most bisexual women are closeted, and others are perceived to be straight despite their best efforts to identify as bisexual) – and lots of late-in-lifers and/ or closeted folks don’t come out until some hot same-sex prospect works up the nerve to ask them out. If your co-worker isn’t currently under you at work and you’re not an imminent promotion away from becoming her supervisor and your company doesn’t incentivize workplace romances by banning them, ask your co-worker out on a date – an unambiguous ask for a date, not an appointment to meet up at the dog park. And this is important: Before she can respond to your ask, WORKING, invite her to say “no” if the answer is no or “straight” if the identity is straight. Good luck! I’m a lesbian, and my partner recently reconnected with a childhood friend. At first I felt sorry for him, as he was having a health crisis. But he’s better now, and his pushy behavior really gets to me. He texts her at all hours – and when he can’t get in touch with her, he bugs me. When I refused to go on a trip with him and his husband, he guilttripped me for weeks. He constantly wants us to come to his house, but they’re chainsmokers. I’m going to Los Angeles to inter62

view a celebrity for a project, and now he’s trying to insert himself into this trip because he wants go starfucking! He also wants to officiate at our upcoming wedding! My partner won’t stand up for me when I say no to this guy. How can I get my partner to listen to me or get her jackass friend to leave me be? Can’t Think Of A Clever Acronym Burn it down, CTOACA. Call or e-mail your partner’s old friend and tell him you think he’s a pushy, unpleasant, smelly asshole and that you don’t want to hang out with him – not at his place, not on a trip and not at your wedding, which he not only won’t be officiating but, if you had your druthers, he wouldn’t be attending. That should do it. You can’t tell your soon-to-be wife who she can’t have as a friend – that’s controlling behavior – but she can’t force you to spend time with someone you loathe. I’m a 40-year-old lesbian in Alabama, and I work with a woman I find impossible to resist. The catch is she’s 66, straight and has two children. I love her deeply, she loves me, but we don’t have sex. She has given me a pass to sleep with whoever I like, but I’m one of those weirdos who requires an emotional connection to sleep with someone. The odd thing is that she vacillates between heavily making out with me every time we are alone together and saying, “No, I can’t, I’m straight!” Why does she do everything but sex if she’s straight? Feeling Really Unsure Since This Remarkably Amazing Temptress Entered Domain That nice straight lady from work is making out with you because she likes it, FRUSTRATED, or she’s making out with you because she wants you in her life and believes – perhaps mistakenly – that this is the only way to hold your interest/fuel your obsession. If she likes it, then she’s a lesbian or bisexual but so invested in her heterosexual identity that she can’t “go there.” (Alabama, you said? Maybe she doesn’t feel safe being out in your community.) If she’s making out with you only because she’s lonely and values your friendship and/or enjoys the ego boost of being your obsession, then you don’t want to keep making out with her – for her sake (no one feels good after making out with someone they’d rather not be making out with) and for your own sake (those make-out sessions give you false hope and prevent you from directing your romantic and erotic energies elsewhere). I’m a woman in my early 60s with a healthy lifestyle and an even healthier libido. I’ve had almost exclusively hetero relationships, but I’ve been attracted to women all my life and all of my masturbation fantasies involve women. The older I get, the more I

think about a relationship with a woman. The thought of being in love with a woman, making love with her, sharing a life with her – it all sounds like heaven. The trouble is that it’s really hard to see how I’ll meet women who would be interested in me. There’s rarely anyone my age on dating apps. I don’t even know what age range is reasonable. What’s a reasonable age difference for women with women? Also, who is going to be interested in a rookie? Advice? Energetic Lonely Dame Envisioning Relationship Emmy Award-winning actress Sarah Paulson is 43 years old and Emmy Award-winning actress Holland Taylor is 75 – and Sarah and Holland have been girlfriends for almost three years. Emmy Award-winning talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres is 60 years old and Screen Actors Guild Award-winning actress Portia de Rossi is 45 years old – and Ellen and Portia have been together for 13 years and married for almost 10. There are lots of non-award-winning lesbians out there in relationships with significant age gaps – and at least one lesbian in Alabama who desperately wants to be in one. So don’t let the lack of older women on dating apps prevent you from putting yourself out there on apps and elsewhere, ELDER. As for your rookie status, there are two examples of lesbians pining over rookies in this very column! And remember: If you put yourself out there, you might be alone a year from now – but if you don’t put yourself out there, you’ll definitely be alone a year from now.

Are you looking for a new furry friend? Meet Midnight!

Midnight (A393137) is about 3 years old and is looking for her forever home. She has spent the past month in foster care growing strong for adoption. When Midnight first arrived at the shelter she was very thin and had a skin condition. She also has FIV. She has gained some weight and her skin is definitely improving; however, she would do best with an adopter who can provide her with any future medical care that she might need. She is super sweet, laid-back, and will purr as soon as you walk into the room. She can often be found cuddled up and napping in her bed. She loves to be petted as well! If you’d like to meet Midnight, please email fostercare@ ocfl.net. For the month of February, come to Animal Services and help “tackle” pet homelessness! Adopters can draw a football from the field which will display the reduced adoption fee of $5, $10 or $15. Adoption fees cover sterilization, vaccinations and a microchip. Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, please call 407-836-3111 or visit ocnetpets.com.

If so, you should apply for Covered California. Covered California can help reduce the cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For more information, visit www. coveredca.com Or call Covered California at 1-800- 300-1506. WARNING IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.
