Dear Orlando Weekly, Amidst the rise of awareness of racism – both casual and systemic alike – ingrained in the people and institutions of this nation, there is something that I believe is imperative to shed light on. Recently there have been a growing number of Instagram accounts dedicated to exposing discrimination at Orange County Public Schools. The account @pococpsstories and many other accounts such as @ocpslgbtqstories and @ocpsmisogynystories that were inspired by them share stories sent by anonymous students who have witnessed and experienced racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and many other forms of hate from not only their classmates, but teachers, administrators and faculty members. Recently, I published an article titled “Act Locally, Think Globally: A call to action for fighting discrimination in our school systems” on the Unpublished website (a digital magazine for the Gen Z generation). In the article, I interviewed the individuals responsible for creating these accounts and shared a story of my own. I hope you take the time to consider my words and understand where I’m coming from. We are living in unprecedented times and the world as we know it is changing. With the

‘DESANTIS DEATH TOLL’

current pandemic and the planning for fall, it seems as if we are fighting a losing battle. But we must remember that BIPOC and LGBTQ+ students have had to live in silence and fight discrimination long before the virus arrived in the United States. I am sending this email because I think more students and teachers should be aware of the current state of our school system. This is something that schools everywhere need to address. It’s time for our administration to truly step up their zero-tolerance policy for bullying, which absolutely, positively includes racism, homophobia, transphobia and sexism. We need to educate teachers on how to recognize and address racism in the classroom, and how they can avoid perpetuating racism themselves. Educate them on how to address their own implicit bias, and how they can pass those skills down to their students. Educate them on how these implicit biases are the result of history, media distortion and the institutionalization of racism. Teach them the dark history and implications behind racial slurs. Teach them redlining. Teach them gentrification. Teach them generational wealth. Teach them systemic racism. Our teachers are the catalysts for making a better tomorrow, and it’s time to start treating them like so. Katia Destine Orlando

WHEN THE BOTTOM FALLS OUT The White House has no intention of stopping the coming economic disaster. Democrats have leverage, but do they have the will? BY JEFFREY C. BILL M A N

Typical of the Trump era, the past week

offered countless stories that warrant your attention and indignation: the president dispatching stormtroopers to “Democrat cities,” asking the U.K. to relocate the British Open to his golf course and sending well-wishes to an accused pedophile, to name just three. But there’s a looming crisis we shouldn’t overlook. For millions of struggling Americans, the bottom’s about to fall out of the economy, and the White House has no intention of stopping it. After the unprecedented shutdown in mid-March, the only thing that kept 2020 from feeling like 1930 was Congress’ (and the Federal Reserve’s) equally unprecedented response. The CARES Act doled out $2.2 trillion in aid – much of it to the wealthy, but also propping up small businesses, supplementing the unemployment system and sending most taxpayers $1,200. (Congress later tossed an additional $484 billion into the pot.) Long story short: The government paid people to stay home. The strategy worked. New cases declined. But President Trump, eyes fixed on the election, grew impatient. He demanded that states allow businesses to reopen. This worked, too, in the short run. In May, the economy added 2.5 million jobs; in June, 4.8 million. The White House, touting a recovery in full swing, put talk of another stimulus on the backburner. Experts warned us to reopen slowly and gradually while mandating masks and social distancing and developing a testing and contact-tracing system to snuff out new outbreaks. But in a rush to restore normalcy, we didn’t do that. Many states dove in headfirst. At first, it didn’t seem to matter. On June 16, Vice President Mike Pence wrote an op-ed dismissing media hand-wringing about a second wave: “We are winning the fight with this invisible enemy.” That statement didn’t age well, of course. Within two weeks, cases spiked, especially in GOP-run states that reopened aggressively. Hospitalizations followed, then deaths. With COVID raging, states walked back their

Vice President Mike Pence

reopening plans, slowing the already tepid recovery. Last week, initial unemployment filings rose for the first time in four months, to 1.4 million. It’s about to get worse. On July 31, the $600-a-week unemployment supplement expires. More than 20 million people will see their incomes gutted, and many will be unable to pay rent or buy groceries. Dominoes will begin falling: The U.S. will face an eviction and foreclosure crisis. Billions of dollars will be sucked out of the economy. Millions of people will lose their jobs. Compounding matters, the Paycheck Protection Program was designed to tide over small businesses for about two months; that, too, has run its course. Now the Trump administration is scrambling on a tight deadline – only it can’t figure out what this stimulus package should look like. Trump initially insisted on cutting the payroll tax, which would a) only help those who still have jobs, and not much at that, and b) do nothing to stimulate the economy. He also demanded that Congress eliminate new CDC funding for COVID testing, a proposal so preposterous that I feel obliged to assure you I’m not making it up. Both proved unpalatable for Senate Republicans, who’d rather not drown in a blue tsunami in November. Then again, many of them appear content to commit political suicide by other means: slashing the unemployment supplement from $600 to about $200. Republicans say the benefit creates an incentive for workers to stay home, which isn’t entirely wrong. Two-thirds of laid-off workers get more money from unemployment than they did from their employers, and they don’t have to risk their lives to get it. The fact that that says more about wages and working conditions than it does the industry of the jobless probably hasn’t occurred to the well-heeled suits in Capitol cloakrooms. Last Thursday morning, Senate Republicans announced an agreement with the White House on a package to scale back the unemployment supplement while providing funding to reopen schools (provided

they physically reopen), replenishing the PPP, sending another round of $1,200 checks and shielding businesses from COVID liability claims. By that afternoon, however, the whole thing had unraveled amid Republican infighting. (Trump also threw in a last-minute demand to force the FBI to rebuild its headquarters opposite his Washington hotel rather than in the suburbs. Yes, really.) It’s unlikely the Senate will pass anything before the supplement expires on Friday, and all but certain Republicans won’t make a deal with House Democrats by then. Democrats have a strong hand. Trump is weak, vulnerable Republicans are eager to throw money at their political woes and voters are disinclined to reward penny-pinching. Polling shows that more than two-thirds of voters – including a plurality of Republicans – think the supplement should run through December. A majority are uneasy about their personal financial situation. And nearly half of Americans whose family members have lost jobs don’t think those jobs are coming back. In other words, this isn’t a politically opportune time to pull the rug out from under a nervous public. Congressional Democrats have the leverage to pressure Republicans on key priorities like funding for state and local governments, expanding food stamps and extending unemployment assistance. If they give in, it’s good policy; if they’re obstinate, it’s good politics. Or they could deploy the tried-and-true Democratic tactic of pre-emptive capitulation. Enter House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who last Thursday declared that eviscerating the unemployment supplement – the thing keeping more than 20 million Americans fed and housed – isn’t so much a deal-killer as a starting point for negotiations. Which raises a question: What’s the point of having a strong hand if you lack the courage to play it? Get more Informed Dissent delivered straight to your inbox.

The anti-Trump Lincoln Project is now targeting Florida Republicans Rick Scott and Marco Rubio

Orange County Clerk of Courts forced to furlough workers, close offices on Fridays

Big-name Florida Republicans are starting to find themselves targets of Tallahassee-based “Never Trumper” Rick Wilson and his colleagues at the Lincoln Project. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and U.S. Sen. Rick Scott have been given prominent spots in provocative, quick-hit videos put out by the project, which was founded by Wilson, George Conway, Steve Schmidt and John Weaver and has attracted $19.4 million in contributions, according to Federal Elections Commission filings. Wilson and Weaver said recently they will continue going after people who enable President Donald Trump, including Gov. Ron DeSantis. “If we’re so fortunate that we can get rid of the main zombie, there’s still all these other zombies that are going to be roaming around the body politic, people like (U.S. Sen.) Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) and (U.S. Sen.) Josh Holley (R-Missouri),” Weaver said on MSNBC. “And these MAGA governors in Florida, in Texas and in Georgia and Arizona, for example, who were so afraid of offending the president that they were literally willing to sacrifice their citizens, as opposed to doing the right thing in terms of the COVID pandemic.” Wilson, who was a longtime GOP strategist, said in a New York magazine article the project’s mission to drive Trump out of office has grown since it began in December with an eye on Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania as swing states. “But now, the calculus has radically expanded,” Wilson said. “Our ability to go into Arizona, and Iowa, and North Carolina, and Georgia, and a whole bunch of other places has increased very rapidly. And Trump’s pathways to victory have narrowed very rapidly. So we will see this fight being waged and won, I think, at the end of the day, in Florida, Arizona and Ohio, but we’re going to be active in a bunch of other places because it’s a game of very small numbers.” The response to the group’s ads indicates they are hitting a nerve, with the project dismissed by pro-Trump Republicans as a money grab. The New York Post and the National Review went after the effort last week. “They attack Republicans from the left, in terms that please the Lincoln Project’s predominantly progressive funders,” a National Review article titled “The Grifter Project” said. – Jim Turner, NSF

The Orange County Clerk of Courts office announced in a press release last week that it is forced to begin furloughing workers due to COVID-19 budget cuts. Starting the week of Aug. 10, all clerk’s office employees will be furloughed one day per week, without pay, until Oct. 2, “or until relief funding is obtained,” read the statement. For most employees, the unpaid day off will be every Friday. That means the county clerk’s offices will be closed on Fridays, too, during the furlough period. This will be a big deal to residents with virtually any legal matter before Orange County or Ninth Circuit courts, from marriage licenses to passports to wills. Criminal and civil court processes will be held up as well, including traffic tickets (though you can still handle those online). “I am saddened and deeply regret that I have to take these steps,” said Clerk Tiffany Moore Russell. “My staff are essential workers and many of them live on tight budgets, so I know this will be a hardship that I wish I could avoid.” The stated reason is COVID-19, but the deeper cause is Florida law, which does not give authority to county clerks’ offices to create or maintain a reserve or emergency fund. The Orange County Clerk’s office is funded by the court costs and fees they collect, all of which have greatly slowed during the coronavirus pandemic Across the state, clerks of the court have had to reduce operating funds by $60 million. Here in Orange County, that amount was $3.8 million, or 53 percent cut from the clerk’s fourth-quarter budget. “While many entities and families have been impacted by COVID-19, its effect is particularly severe for Florida’s Clerks of Court because of the unique way the offices are funded under Florida law,” said the statement. The office advises people with outstanding payments who have been financially impacted by COVID-19 to contact them to discuss options like payment plans. The clerk’s office says it is working closely with county government and Gov. Ron DeSantis “to try and obtain emergency funding to help address this funding crisis.” You can still conduct a good deal of business online, at the clerk of courts’ website, which includes a video on how to perform records searches and other tasks — but it would be an improvement for everyone in Orange County if Russell’s office were authorized to maintain an emergency fund. – Dave Plotkin

Florida Gov. DeSantis explains why schools should reopen for the fall term In an address to the state amid widespread controversy about reopening schools, Gov. Ron DeSantis last week offered a softer message focused on giving families and teachers the choice to return to classrooms in August as COVID-19 cases continue to surge. DeSantis said Florida’s 67 school districts should have the option to delay the start of school “a few weeks” and should not force teachers and parents to return to school if they have underlying medical conditions or if they “just don’t feel comfortable with in-person instruction.” “As the prevalence of the virus has increased over the past many weeks, fear and anxiety have increased as well,” the governor said. “The choice before us is whether we face our challenges with determination and resolve guided by evidence, or whether we allow ourselves to become paralyzed by fear.” The Republican governor did not mention a controversial state order that said school districts must reopen brick-and-mortar schools at least five days a week starting in August, unless local and state health officials say otherwise. But he also did not distance himself from it, like he has in recent days. Instead, he offered an explanation for why he believes schools should reopen for the fall term. “While the risks to students from in-person learning are low, the cost of keeping schools closed are enormous,” DeSantis said. “Let’s be honest, [distance learning] is a far cry from in-person instruction, and it places a tremendous burden on our working parents.” Schools shuttered campuses and moved to distance learning in March as the COVID-19 pandemic hit the state. But as the new school year nears, districts are scrambling to make plans to educate children in-person and online while also trying to keep campuses safe, as Florida piles up thousands of new COVID-19 cases each day. DeSantis, a father of three, earlier this month said that if his preschool-age children were old enough, he would not hesitate to send them back to the classroom because the risk of children getting sick is “extremely, extremely low.” “I believe that we owe every Florida parent a choice to send your child back to school for in-person instruction or to opt to maintain distance learning. The evidence that schools can be open in a safe way is overwhelming,” he said. But a major part of the controversy about reopen-

ing schools involves risks to teachers and other school employees, particularly those who are older or have medical conditions that make them vulnerable to the contagious and deadly respiratory disease. DeSantis stressed that if educators and other employees do not feel comfortable going back to schools, they should not be forced to do so. “Now, for those teachers who may be at higher risk or even those who just don’t feel comfortable with inperson instruction, they should be given the option of working remotely. Why force someone to be in the classroom if they’re uncomfortable doing so?” the governor said. DeSantis said last week that school districts should give teachers the option to work from home or to take sabbaticals. The governor’s televised address came two days after the Florida Education Association, the state’s largest teachers union, filed a lawsuit against DeSantis and Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran over the return-to-school state order. Plaintiffs in the legal challenge, who also include three teachers from Miami-Dade, Broward and Orange counties, allege it is unconstitutional for the state to order schools to reopen while the number of COVID-19 cases continues to skyrocket. The lawsuit asks a judge to rescind the July 6 schoolreopening order and to require state education officials to implement an online instruction plan “aimed at all children,” and “make internet connectivity and computer devices available to all students.” Corcoran, a former House speaker who was tapped by DeSantis to serve as commissioner, issued the emergency order on the same day President Donald Trump tweeted that, “SCHOOL MUST OPEN THIS FALL!” Corcoran retweeted Trump’s message that day, but denied any coordination with the president, a close ally of DeSantis. Three days after the order was issued, the governor doubled down on his stance to reopen schools. “We spent months saying that there were certain things that were essential that included fast-food restaurants. It included Walmart and Home Depot and Lowe’s,” DeSantis said. “If all that is essential, then educating our kids is absolutely essential, and they have been put to the back of the line in some respects.” On Wednesday, the governor’s tone was much softer. “Let’s not let fear get the best of us and harm our children in the process. We must stay strong, for we will succeed. Thank you and God bless you,” he said. – Ana Ceballos, NSF

Coalition urges Mayor Demings to reject $15 million increase for Orange County Sheriff’s Office

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, Gov. Ron DeSantis join Trump for signing of drug-import order

Community coalition #OurBudgetOurBlock last Thursday called on Orange County government to rescind a proposed $15 million increase for the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in next year’s budget. OCSO’s current budget is $266 million and Sheriff John Mina is asking for $281 million. This grass-roots organizers sent a letter to Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings asking him to reject the $15 million in additional funding to OCSO and instead redirect these funds toward more community-based initiatives, and to recognize systemic racism as a public health crisis. Over 50 activists and concerned citizens co-signed this letter, which presents alternative options for use of the millions in question including direct rental assistance, community-led approaches to public safety and “programs that nurture community.” “Our community was tear-gassed – our country is speaking out – we will not stand by and watch our dollars pour into upholding systems of white supremacy,” said coalition member Va Maxwell Frost in a press release. “We believe the request for a $15 million increase for the Orange County Sheriff’s Office further disenfranchises the Black community and we call on the Mayor to meet with us and commit to these actions.” The majority, if not the entirety, of these local activists were involved in the peaceful Black Lives Matter protests in Orange County following the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers in May. For months, they have been calling for policing to be defunded in Orange County and Orlando, and are now reaching out to the Mayor directly in hopes the money is reapportioned and issues of systemic racism and police violence are addressed adequately. The authors of the letter requested a virtual meeting with Mayor Demings to further discuss their proposals and demands, and further announced a series of protests and demonstrations to highlight these concerns and demands, starting Friday, July 24, and continuing daily through Tuesday, July 28. “We have an opportunity to be on the right side of history as we work towards a more equitable Orange County,” concludes their letter, “a County that works to achieve true freedom and liberation. We hope you can join us to protect our budget, and moreover, our block.” – Matthew Moyer

President Donald Trump has signed four executive orders designed to reduce prescription-drug prices, including one aimed at allowing drug importation from Canada and other countries. Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida House Speaker Jose Oliva and U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Florida, were on hand for the signing event at the White House. The Florida Legislature in 2019 passed a law aimed at importing cheaper drugs from Canada, but it has not been implemented because it also required federal approval, including the passage of federal rules. The first draft of those rules was released a year ago. In a note to House members Friday evening, Oliva called the executive orders “historic” and said one was inspired by the Florida law. “Never in my time – nor in recent memory – has a piece of our legislation led to such prominent action by a sitting president,” Oliva wrote. It was not clear, however, how the executive orders – which were not immediately released – would speed up the federal approval process for the Florida program. In a press release, Gabriel Levitt, president of online pharmacy accreditation outfit PharmacyChecker, said, “Personal drug importation has already been a lifeline for tens of millions of Americans. Hate him or love him, Americans – Democrats and Republicans – will applaud Trump’s executive order on this issue. Nonetheless, we’ve heard Trump bluster about drug prices for three years. Let’s see if this is real or just an election stunt.” Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Terrie Rizzo said the orders wouldn’t accomplish much. “We need more than a staged ceremony at the White House – we need a president willing to roll up his sleeves and get the job done,” she said in a prepared statement. But in brief remarks at the ceremony, DeSantis praised Trump for being “laser focused” on drug prices. “When Florida moved forward, we knew we had your support,” the Republican governor said. DeSantis and Trump in the past have touted the potential importation of drugs from Canada. Trump praised the idea during a stop in October 2019 in The Villages, a massive Central Florida retirement community. Oliva, R-Miami Lakes, spearheaded efforts to pass the drug-importation bill in the Legislature last year, and lawmakers followed up this year by setting aside $10.3 million in the budget to help carry out the importation program. – News Service of Florida

FLORIDA BREWERIES STRUGGLE TO STAY SOLVENT AS THE CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN DRAGS ON

By Dave Plotkin

s Florida lurches to the end of our fifth and deadliest month yet of dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, the state’s crisis response is still little more than a patchwork of inconsistent local regulations and hastily issued statewide proclamations, often delivered in tweets by public officials. One of the more surprising Twitter announcements came from Halsey Beshears, Florida’s head of business regulation, who notified online followers on June 26, “Effective immediately, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation is suspending on premises consumption of alcohol at bars statewide.” The declaration, issued minutes after the state disclosed another 9,000 new COVID-19 cases in Florida, included the state’s 320-plus breweries but not restaurants. It was the first rollback of a reopening step since Gov. Ron DeSantis began Phase 1 of restarting the economy, and it left brewery owners furious and seeking answers. During the first reopening phase in May, bars, pubs and nightclubs deriving 50 percent or more of sales from alcohol had to stay closed, but restaurants could begin serving outdoors and inside at 25 percent capacity. Breweries serving food could offer alcohol takeout and resume seating and consumption, with six feet of space between tables, outside and indoors at 25 percent capacity. The Phase 2 reopening that began on June 5 allowed restaurants and entertainment complexes to expand seating to 50 percent capacity inside, except nightclubs. Breweries and bars were open under most of the same rules as restaurants, except for a prohibition on using barstools.

More than 100 Florida breweries are in danger of closing in the next two weeks, says the Central Florida Brewers Guild.

That order remained in place for nearly 21 days, until the Beshears tweet stopped all on-site alcohol consumption once again – but this time only at bars, pubs, nightclubs and breweries. Restaurants were left open and can continue to serve alcohol inside. That really burns the brewers. “This time, by allowing on-premise consumption in restaurants and not allowing it in breweries and bars, it really put us at a disadvantage,” says Duane Morin of Toll Road Brewing Co. in Ocoee. “Earlier in the year, when

everyone was on a to-go–only basis, the playing field was relatively level. It was sustainable at that point because it was a temporary situation.” Morin estimates his drop in sales during the first closure to be about 47 percent. The rules being different now, says Morin, means the hit to sales is much more dramatic. “This time around, our revenues are down about 85 percent, which is a much less sustainable situation than earlier in the year,” Morin says. “You can go to the chain sports bar or chain restaurant and you can sit there for four hours and you can drink beer, cocktails, you know, as long as you have food,” says Morin. “So it’s really a huge disadvantage for us.” Breweries share some characteristics of bars, including a beer and wine service license, but they are unlike nightclubs and bars in producing and selling their own product on the premises. Breweries tend to house large equipment with higher overhead – literally and figuratively – so they usually have enough space to spread out patrons. Many breweries have been able to adapt by serving food, but not all, and many are still waiting on additional licenses that would allow them to do so. “I’d say three-quarters of them don’t have a restaurant because it’s a different business model,” says Robyn Esser of Sanford Brewing Co. “Brewery manufacturing and a tap room is kind of one thing. You start getting into a restaurant, that’s an entirely different operation. I mean, we almost have to treat it like two different businesses because they’re two different mindsets.” “These poor places are having to be forced into a completely new business model, a completely new business,” CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

says Esser, who is also president of the Central Florida Brewers Guild. “I just feel for all of them.” The local guild has been supporting the Florida Brewers Guild, which hopes to change state law to more clearly distinguish breweries from similar service establishments. In a July 20 letter to Beshears, the Florida Brewers Guild said, “The entire Florida Craft Brewing Industry is now in jeopardy.” The letter estimated then that 90 percent of breweries in Florida had been “closed more days in 2020 than they have been open.” The Florida Craft Brewing Industry “is a manufacturing industry first and retail second, but one cannot exist without the other,” the letter states. “Please help us put together a plan that helps us reopen our industry.” DeSantis has repeatedly pointed to young adults, like those who might congregate in bars, as one of the reasons for the surge in new cases. Beshears would later say his order, backed by DeSantis and still in place as of press time, will remain in place until new cases of COVID-19 began to decline. Also growing, however, is statewide unemployment, as more than 1,300 Orlando businesses have closed since the beginning of the pandemic, according to a report last week. More than 100 Florida breweries are in danger of closing in the next two weeks, says the Guild. There is some new hope this week. In yet another tweet, Beshears announced he would begin speaking to bars and breweries about “ideas on how to reopen.” “We will come up with a Safe, Smart and Step-by-step plan based on input, science and relative facts on how to reopen as soon as possible,” Beshears tweeted. Charles Frizzell, co-owner of Broken Strings Brewery in Orlando, says breweries might have been able to remain open, had there been more initial enforcement of the rules by state and local authorities. “When people are speeding on I-4, you don’t shut down I-4,” says Frizzell. “You pull the people over that are speeding.” Frizzell, a past Central Florida guild president, says the current order threatens owners’ entire life savings and investments. “You just don’t strip people’s livelihoods,” says Frizzell. “When you pass laws or you do these things, there’s supposed to be people out there enforcing the rules. You don’t just shut it down and say we don’t have the ability to enforce.” Frizzell and others are encouraged by Orange County’s new enforcement tasks forces, and are hopeful they can be part of reopening. “I think that’s the way it should have been getting from the very beginning,” Frizzell says. “That’s how you enforce rules and regulations.” Chris Rock of Orlando’s RockPit Brewing agrees that

enforcement is key, and that craft brewery owners are particularly strict on adherence. “Everybody’s been really great about following the rules when they come in, so they are wearing their masks, they’re standing in line, they’re not trying to crowd the bar,” Rock says. But he stresses that breweries already follow an increased set of standards. “It’s such a weird thing,” says Rock. “Technically we’re a bar in their eyes, however, one of the reasons that we are not allowed to have dogs in our tap room is because they classify beer as food.” In other words, beer is food in some cases – like when allowing animals on the premises is concerned – but not others – like when it comes to the division of “food sales” and “alcohol sales.” “A lot of breweries are on the cusp,” says Rock. “We were, two weeks ago, on the cusp of just shutting things down, super limited and basically going into

complete survival mode, meaning nothing is really getting done we’re just selling stuff to maybe pay our light bill.” “I’m all for supporting the cause and trying to get some of this under control,” says Bill Downs, co-owner of Suncreek Brewery in Clermont. “But it just seems like you’re kicked in the teeth when you go by a chain restaurant and their parking lot’s packed.” One source of hope for breweries – besides reopening – could come in the form of annual license fee waivers,

which brewers say they plan to discuss with Beshears. No matter the size of the brewing operation, the fee is $3,000 per year. “It’s already a hard pill for them to swallow, annually, when they get that $3,000 fee every October,” says Downs. “Going through the fact that we’ve been closed more days than we’ve been open, our tap room, that’s gonna be really hard for a lot of people, including me.” If Beshears waived the fees, it would benefit small brewers the most. “To me, it seems like that’s just the logical first step that they could take, as far as other assistance,” says Downs. Garrett Ward, co-owner of Orlando’s Sideward Brewing Co., agrees that a fee waiver would be a good first step toward keeping breweries in business. He says his brewery, located in the Milk District, transitioned to takeout early in March, and they have been able to remain relatively stable. “We’ve been pretty steadfast in trying to keep our employees on the clock as much as possible,” says Ward. “But anything helps, right? In our case we have four different licenses. We have a license for our beer, we have a license for our cider, our food license, and just the license to serve in general.” Those fees alone can add up to more than $4,500 a year, more than a drop in the bucket during a year parched dry by declining business. Ward says he is focusing on the positive aspects of his business, including participation in the new Black Is Beautiful project, a nationwide collaboration of breweries to “raise awareness for the injustices People of Color face daily.” Sideward and Crooked Strings are among eight Orlando-area breweries participating in the effort, in which each brewery creates their own version of a base recipe developed by Weathered Souls Brewing Company in San Antonio, Texas. Black Is Beautiful, the beer, is a moderately high-alcohol stout meant to “showcase,” according to its website, “the different shades of black.” The project gives competing local breweries yet another reason to collaborate. “We are just about to release it next week, most likely Saturday,” says Ward, who didn’t vary the recipe too much. “Ours is literally just straightforward. Typically, we do kind of crazy things with our stout, but we kind of wanted to do something just straightforward and true to style.” Frizzell of Crooked Strings said their Black Is Beautiful beer, a blackberry-and-chocolate variation, will support the local NAACP chapter. “It just made sense, you know, it’s a good cause,” Frizzell said. Ever the hub of community activity, breweries are manufacturing, service and retail operations, so it makes sense to create laws fitting their unique businesses. As the state weighs options to stop the virus and ways to keep businesses alive in the months and years to come, rethinking breweries might be a critical step to keeping more than 10,000 Floridians employed.

BY SETH KUBERSKY

Against all odds, I had a better time at this year’s Epcot Food & Wine Festival than I have in ages So far, 2020 has consisted of

one shitshow after another, but even by current standards the past couple of weeks have been especially crappy for those involved in Orlando’s arts and attractions industries. At the theme parks, the ongoing deadlock between Actors’ Equity and Walt Disney World – which has many furloughed performers feeling like voiceless pawns in a battle between their union and their employer – spilled over into the pages of the Wall Street Journal; days later, Universal announced the cancellation of their Halloween Horror Nights events on both coasts, eliminating a significant source of the Orlando resort’s annual revenue. On the stage side, several theaters abandoned the remainder of their 2020 seasons – including Winter Park Playhouse and the Dr. Phillips Center’s Broadway series – just as brave participants in the Central Florida Entertainment Advocacy Forum were laying bare the systemic racism that still pervades our performing venues. And to cap it off, on July 22 we lost Marcy Singhaus, a world-class costume designer and the deliciously vicious Dorothy Parker of Orlando’s drag scene. Put it all together, and it’s enough to drive you to drink – a sentiment I’m sure Singhaus would lift her margarita glass to. Unfortunately, Florida’s bars and nightclubs have been closed all month, and you can only buy so many cases of spiked seltzer before getting strange looks at the supermarket. The solution, it would seem, would be to visit one of Orlando’s reopened theme parks, which are about the only public places in the state where one can still walk around with an adult beverage. Or at least they were until last week, when newly issued policies put a stop to the sippingand-strolling at both Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando. From my first visits to the reopened Disney Springs and

EPCOT REOPENS | PHOTO BY SETH KUBERSKY

CityWalk complexes, I noted that although compliance with the mandatory face mask requirements was generally very good, a certain segment of guests discovered and exploited a loophole allowing their removal while consuming food and drink. While intended to allow visitors to responsibly enjoy socially distanced meals, too many abused the exception, grasping a half-full Starbucks cup as an excuse to mingle maskfree for extended periods. Now, instead of free-roaming with their oversized turkey leg, park guests must stop and find a socially distanced spot to snack in. What’s more, all masks with valves are now prohibited, making mine with a builtin straw hole contraband. These new restrictions, on top of the already extensive safety protocols all the resorts have implemented since reopening, might sound especially onerous at Epcot, where “drinking around the world” is not merely a time-honored tradition, but the major attraction in a park offering few E-Ticket rides and even less live entertainment. Ironically, Epcot’s 25th Annual International Food & Wine Festival (or at least a slimmed-down “Taste” of it) opened early this year in an attempt to lure back famished fans, who have been speculating online how these new restrictions would impact an event based around walking between food booths. The answer, as I discovered during my recent evening at Epcot, is “mostly for the better.” Right off the bat, I did miss the festival’s usual elaborate welcome display, although it’s refreshing to finally see the park’s pristine entry plaza now that the tombstone-like “Leave a Legacy” sculptures have all been scrapped. I also missed collecting my free souvenir “passport” with trip-tracking stickers, which have been

replaced with QR codes linking to Disney’s mobile app. There are no replacements for the canceled cooking demonstrations, tasting seminars and dinner parties that ordinarily fill out the festival, and the park’s usual mariachi and percussion ensembles are substituting for the canceled “Eat to the Beat” concert series. Despite all those deficits, I enjoyed this year’s Food & Wine better than I have in ages, because for once I didn’t have to elbow other guests out of the way in order to eat off a trash can. Created to bump anemic attendance during what was once the slow season, the festival had grown into a monster that attracted enormous mobs waving plastic forks instead of pitchforks. But in the alternate timeline that is 2020, I was able to walk up to any sample kiosk I liked without a wait, and easily find an empty high-top along the lagoon to eat or drink at. There may be fewer marketplaces (20ish instead of 30-plus) serving shorter menus, but most of my favorites can still be found – from citrus-grilled lobster tail to Moroccan hummus fries – and beer is finally available in 12-ounce pours again. For the best of Epcot’s fest, step inside the seldom-used World Showplace building tucked between the Canada and U.K. pavilions. The hangar-like event hall has been transformed into a tastefully Disneythemed wedding reception, complete with mood lighting, plenty of distanced cocktail tables and live music by Carol Stein, the Rose & Crown Pub’s beloved “Piano Lady.” You’ve still got to buy the food and booze – the vegan mac & “cheese” with “sausage” and Stiegl’s Radler Zitrone make a great pairing – but the only present you need to bring to this party is your mask-covered smile. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

FEAST YOUR HEAVY EYES

PHOTOS BY ROB BARTLETT

Seana’s elevated Caribbean and soul food classics will have you feeling yawny BY FAIYAZ KARA

remember eating jerk chicken pasta – a heavy, creamy, spicy mess of a plate – at a Bahama Breeze shortly after moving to Orlando. I didn’t pay much attention to the fact I was eating Jamaican cuisine mashed up with Italian fettucine alfredo, a dish that itself incorporates noodles borrowed from China. But when I eat the version of jerk chicken pasta from Seana’s ($12), a restaurant touting its Caribbean and soul food cuisine, I can’t help but think how such a dish would go over in, say, Florence or Hong Kong. I don’t dwell very long on the thought, though, because my eyelids are getting heavy, just like they did the following day when I took some of that leftover jerk chicken and tossed it in Parmesan cheese, leftover birria broth from Hunger Street Tacos and spaghetti. It was amazing, largely because of that broth, but the point I’m trying to make, dear reader, is that I’m very good at rambling sentences – and that

fusing seemingly disparate ingredients can be a flavorful exercise in fun. And that each offering from Seana’s, be it apple-butter chicken ($11) or ribs ($16.29), is as sleepinducing as the next. Seana’s (pronounced “Shauna’s”) is just a name that owner Joshua Johnson liked and latched on to when opening his comfort-food restaurant. His brother Corey is respon-

sible for whipping up Seana’s mix of island fare and Southern classics. “He’s Michael Jordan and I’m Scottie Pippen,” is how Joshua describes their relationship, and the same could be said about the turkey wings ($12) and smoked collards – the fat, gravy-smothered flappers and wet peppery greens was a pairing of winners. White rice was also served, which, I guess, made it the Steve Kerr or Toni Kukoč of the platter. Last dance? Bah, the dishes here are worthy of the big dance, though I couldn’t imagine hoisting a trophy after an order of oxtails ($18) slathered in a dark, subtly sweet sauce served over yellow rice with sweet plantains and liquid-gold mac & cheese. It was game over after downing just half a portion. I followed it with a couple of swigs of the rum punch ($7), aka “Jungle Juice,” and it was lights out. “Hey! You haven’t eaten the fish!” said the wife from across the table, jolting me out of a half-daze. She was right, the fried snapper ($18.50) stuffed with onions, garlic and thyme was the one dish I looked forward to the most. I started picking away at the crispy skin thinking a few bites would be all I could manage. But I couldn’t stop. I picked clean one side (interspersed with forkfuls of Southern-style cabbage) before flipping the fish and picking clean the other side. “I guess you really liked the fish,” she said as my forehead droopied to within inches of the fish’s skeletal spikes. “Huh?” Johnson warned me that people want to go to sleep after they eat at Seana’s, and the man wasn’t kidding. So I’ll say sweet dreams for now – but when you get up, do yourself a favor and get woke on the plight of blackowned restaurants like Seana’s. I’m sure you’ll find it eye-opening.

the diningin diaries BY FAIYAZ KARA

I’ll start by saying that I ate the birria “machete” at Hunger Street Tacos three times in the span of a week. I, like many others, am hooked on dunking that giant heirloom corn tortilla into a spicy beef stew, but there’s already been a Dining-In Diary entry on Hunger Street (see May 6, 2020), so this week I’ll switch focus to Taste of Chengdu, the best Sichuan restaurant in town. It’s no secret that Chinese restaurants have disproportionately suffered during the pandemic due to some good ol’ fashioned racism, and Taste of Chengdu is no exception. Chef-owner Tiger Tang has contemplated closing the restaurant, albeit temporarily, because business just isn’t there, and he’s uncertain as to when he’ll be able to open the second Taste of Chengdu location already underway in Baldwin Park. But Tang’s a skilled perfectionist who continues to churn out the most impeccable dishes, be it the sauteed lamb in pepper sauce or the beef flank spicy noodle soup. Plus, the servers are as vigilant as ever when it comes to anti-maskers. Tang is a culinary treasure in this city, arguably our finest chef, so get out there and get yourself a taste of Chengdu.

ON (small) SCREENS IN ORLANDO Streaming premieres you won’t want to miss by Steve Schneider PREMIERES WEDNESDAY: The Speed Cubers – Remember when Linus from Peanuts tried to make sugar cubes by pressing sugar together with his bare hands? I was hoping that’s what this documentary would be about. Turns out it’s actually a profile of two of the world’s best Rubik’s Cube solvers. So, yeah; looks like I’m in for another week of disappointments. (Netflix)

PREMIERES THURSDAY: The Dog House – Or maybe not! Here are eight episodes of a hit British reality series in which abandoned dogs find homes with goodhearted Englishpeople. Sounds like exactly the sort of heartwarming viewing experience we all need. Hey, you know what other unwanted mongrels the British should be adopting these days? Americans! (HBO Max) Frayed – It seems like an awful lot of modern movies and shows are about people who return to their hometown and find it a thoroughly unenjoyable experience. The latest entry in the genre is Frayed, a self-created vehicle for comic Sarah Kendall in which she plays a London widow forced to move back to her native Australia. With the six-episode first season hitting the States, we can all laugh indulgently at the idea of someplace else being a shithole country. (I wasn’t kidding about that adoption thing! I have papers!) (HBO Max)

PREMIERES FRIDAY: In Search of Darkness – How much fodder did the horror-movie boom of the ’80s provide for a documentary retrospective? Try more than four fucking hours’ worth. Seriously, in that amount of time, you

could watch The Shining, drive to your local bus station, and have a vagrant explain to you how the film proves we faked the moon landing. And make it home in time for NOS4A2! (Shudder) Muppets Now – While every dweeb you know was subscribing to Disney+ just to watch Hamilton, the real reason was to catch the Muppets in a new sketch comedy series. And it’s probably the main reason the entire world isn’t unsubscribing right now. Repeat after me: I am not throwing away my frog!

Worst pick-up line to use on this one: “Let me get your digits.” (Amazon Prime) The Umbrella Academy Season 2 – The second season of the hit show about adoptive superhero siblings sees our heroes hurtling back in time and getting stranded in the early 1960s. Boy, wait until they find out how many horror movies they’re going to have to watch in the 1980s. (Netflix)

PREMIERES TUESDAY: Mystery Lab – YouTube personality Felipe Castanhari comes to Netflix to answer questions related to science and history. I could wrap up the entire series in one question: “Science – that’s history, isn’t it?” (Netflix) The Swamp – Florida disgrace Matt Gaetz is one of three Republican Congressmen profiled in this documentary about the Trump caucus’ supposed effort to end corruption in Washington. Maybe we’ll find out how Gaetz “adopted” that “kid” of his. I bet the answer is less wholesome than “from a British kennel.” (HBO Max) orlandoweekly.com

HERE ARE THE YOUNG MEN Orlando hip-hop duo OhTwo make post-pop for a post-everything world BY MATTHEW MOYER

rlando experimental hip-hop duo OhTwo wrapped their new album, A Time to Be Small, in early March, right before the coronavirus pandemic hit the United States in earnest. This album was a decided break from their creative past, a bleak, minimal, left-field collection of songs that, like some cursed talisman, seemed almost a herald for our current timeline. Suddenly inner doubts and personal struggles suddenly took on a very sharp real-word focus. “The subject matter of the album is all social isolation,” says vocalist/MC Faust. “It fit in with the moment in a really literal way.” “We set out to make an album that sounded more somber and even apocalyptic,” adds producer/beatmaker Byson. Orlando Weekly chatted with the duo over the weekend via Zoom and they’re just rolling with the punches. One member is currently out of work, one member isn’t. Any plans for shows or physical media of A Time to Be Small – out at the end of the month, self-released – or new merch in general are off the table. And yet, Faust and Byson are proud of the new album, and proud of the new chapter that OhTwo are beginning. A Time to Be Small is a work to be justifiably proud of, a stylistic left turn for a group that was once a trio. (Founding member Sean Mingo left to pursue a solo career; see our July 1 feature, “The Upsetter.”) So it was: Everything must go. Much of the celebratory nature of their past work was jettisoned, and sonic tropes they’d used on previous albums were reworked or abandoned altogether. With a head full of Joy Division (check the JD interview sample on instrumental “From Under the Beat”), New Order and “post-punk, new wave,” OhTwo took a hard turn. They refer to the music on the album as post-pop, a considered deconstruction of their music and lyrics up to this point. “There was a lot of social anxiety, there was a lot of heartbreak,” says Faust when explaining the life circumstances that inspired his lyrics. “I had a fondness for designer clothing, and a fondness for painkillers. … It’s not about drugs, but I would be saying shit to people that I didn’t mean.

And I would be saying shit to let myself and other people down, and so a lot of it was just expressing how you feel when you can’t say anything, because things aren’t fitting right. It was a really dark six months of my life.” “We have the motifs down, the ideas of pop music,” explains Byson of the musical side. “But we wanted to double down on the depth and the emotion and the vulnerability. … It’s 100 percent rooted in hip-hop and I would never want to dismiss that, But the other side of it is that we’re kind of trying to create something new from it. The production was very much me not caring about my comfort zone.” It’s another strange trick of timing that OhTwo dub their new sound “post-pop” at this uncertain and fragmented time. “It’s all I think about,” Faust laughs bleakly. “I’m stuck here in post-everything.” Recording the album was a collaborative effort from start to finish. Everything from choosing samples to picking drum sounds and recording vocal takes was done together. Besides guest spots from Adamn Killa and Cimid, it’s just the two of them. “We were in the same room for the entire album,” Faust says. ”That was important for us. It was really organic, it was fun.” “I’d have to credit [Orlando noise-rock trio] TTN for inspiring us some to work this way,” Byson admits. “When I was producing their album and talking to them about their collaborative process, I was like, ‘This is the way Faust and I need to work.’” Which brings us to a crucial understanding of OhTwo’s unique creative path. This is a group just as comfortable playing Will’s Pub with Quelle Chris as they are playing a house show with a bunch of experimental acts. And by sheer force of convocation and performance chops, they always fit right in. OhTwo even toured with TTN and Broken Machine Films for an East Coast run in 2018, playing their mod, kinetic hip-hop to mostly underground audiences. They’re released tapes through Central Florida experimental haven Illuminated Paths. OhTwo are no strangers to underground weirdness. “One of the first shows I played was when Josh [Rogers, Illuminated Paths head] invit-

ed me to play Uncle Lou’s with Trotsky’s Watercooler,” recalls Byson. “I was like, ‘Here I am playing lo-fi hip-hop beats at a noise show at Lou’s and I think this is the weirdest scene I could be a part of and I really don’t want to be a part of any other one.’ … If it weren’t for that scene, I don’t know what kind of music we’d be making today.” For a group that made their name on their energetic live work, they’re remarkably clear-eyed and about their current situation. “We’re a studio group for a little while,” shrugs Faust. “We had a lot of reconstructing to do. And we made this album for discerning listeners, and I don’t even know why we’d want to play it live. But it’s obviously going to be a minute.” orlandoweekly.com

●

“It’s a weird social context to be releasing music in right now,” Byson says. “You’re already hearing people reference COVID in rap songs. It’s just so weird to be putting out music, like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s the album that was released in the middle of the world’s biggest pandemic.’” As for the immediate future after the album drops, Byson’s in the slow process of building a home studio and they’re already working on new ideas for songs – a couple of music videos are all that’s currently set in stone. “We’re just gonna let it marinate and then fucking get it, man,” Faust promises. A Time to Be Small is out July 31 on Spotify, Bandcamp and other digital platforms. music@orlandoweekly.com

JULY 29-AUG. 4, 2020 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

“FRIENDS IN DEED” I’m a 20-something more-or-less lesbian in an East Coast city. I’m primarily into women, and I’m only interested in relationships with women, but I’m sometimes attracted to men and have enjoyed sex with men in the past. For various reasons, I decided a few years ago not to pursue physical stuff with men anymore and I publicly identify as a lesbian. This worked great pre-pandemic, but now, with a tiny social bubble and no dating prospects, I find myself feeling very attracted to a male friend/co-worker. He’s 30-something, single, straight and we’ve hung out a few times since COVID (only outside, and while socially distanced). As far as work goes, neither of us has a management role, we’re in different departments and we rarely interact professionally. So, hypothetically, the co-worker part wouldn’t be an ethical issue if we were to get involved. I have a feeling he’d be down for a casual pandemic thing … although it’s possible I could be projecting. But I have no idea how to broach this subject. He’s a respectful person and we work for a very progressive organization, so he’s not going to flirt with me since I identify as gay. I don’t know how to bring up in casual conversation that I sometimes like sleeping with men, Dan, and my usual approach to flirting involves a lot of casual physical contact, which obviously isn’t possible right now. What should I do? Should I just let this go? Even though we don’t work closely together, there’s obviously the potential for professional issues if feelings got hurt, and celibacy is obviously a responsible option during this pandemic. But COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions are going to continue and he and I seem well enough suited to keep each other company. I was single and celibate for a while before the pandemic and am feeling desperate to touch another human being. If it’s not a terrible idea, how do I flirt with him without endangering public health, messing up our friendship or making our work situation incredibly awkward in the event that he’s not into me? Craving Organic Viable Earthly Touching There’s no way to ensure that a sexual and/ or romantic relationship with a co-worker (or anyone else) won’t end badly – and a little awkwardness would be the least of your worries if this proposed arrangement ended badly. But if your relationships and breakups are generally drama-free, COVET, and if you’ve been friends with this guy long enough to know that his relationships and breakups have been mostly drama-free, I think you should tell him how you’ve been feeling. Ask him if he’s interested in finding a COVID-19 sex buddy, as the Dutch call them, and if he is, tell him you would like to apply for the position. 30

While most couples meet online these days, COVET, roughly 10 percent of opposite-sex couples – which is what you two would be – still meet through work. And couples that meet through work remain the most likely to marry. Which means work relationships don’t always end in tears and/or pink slips and/or lawsuits. People who find themselves attracted to co-workers need to be thoughtful about power dynamics, of course, and cognizant of company policies where workplace romance is concerned. It sounds like you’re being thoughtful and it doesn’t sound like either of you have power over each other and are unlikely to ever be in positions of power over each other. And life is short and this pandemic is going to be long. So the next time you get together for some socially distanced socializing, COVET, open your mouth and tell this guy what you’ve been thinking. If he’s as liberal and progressive as you make him out to be, he’s no doubt aware that human sexuality is complicated and that while many of us can find a perfect fit among the most commonly understood set of labels, many of us pick a label that doesn’t fit perfectly because it comes closest to capturing some combo of our sexual and/or romantic interest and desires. Don’t think of this disclosure as walking anything back, COVET, but of expanding and complicating what he already knows about you. You remain homoromantic – you’re only interested in other women romantically – but you are sexually attracted to both men and women sexually. In other words, COVET, your heart is lesbian but your pussy is bi. If he’s up for being your COVID-19 sex buddy, swear to each other that you’ll handle the inevitable end with grace and compassion. For while awkwardness can’t be avoided, COVET, stupid and unnecessary drama certainly can. And it’s been my experience that promising in advance to act like grownups ups the chances of everyone acting like grownups. Similarly, simply saying, “Well, this might get awkward,” in advance of awkwardness or, “This is awkward,” if things should get awkward reduces the strength and duration of awkwardness by at least half. Finally, a note to all the guys out there reading this who think COVET’s question gives them license to hit on women who identify as lesbians: No, it doesn’t. Don’t do that. If there’s a lesbian-identified-but-notaverse-to-all-dick dyke in your life … if you work or to go school with a homoromanticbut-bisexual woman who identifies as a lesbian … and if that woman is even remotely interested in fucking you, she will let you know. And even if your hunch is correct – even if your dickful thinking is spot-on and

that one lesbian you know does wanna fuck you – being disrespectful enough to make the first move instantly disqualifies both you and your dick. This is a letter from a gay guy. If one of my regular kinky playmate friends were to gag and hood me and then fuck me while wearing a condom, would that reasonably be expected to prevent COVID-19 transmission? Hoping Or Otherwise Determined You’re less likely to contract COVID-19 if you’re hooded and gagged and it’ll be even safer if your kinky playmate wears a mask too. But you should be hooded and gagged before your kinky playmate arrives, HOOD, because if he gets close enough to hood and gag you himself then he’ll be exhaling all over you and inhaling whatever you’re exhaling. And that – inhaling what other people are exhaling – is the risk we all need to avoid right now. The biggest risk, according to health departments from sea (NYC Health) to shining sea (British Columbia Centres for Disease Control), is kissing – we’re being urged to forgo “kissing and saliva exchange” with randos for the moment – so kinky fuckers who get off on wearing masks, gags and hoods have a built-in advantage. But no kissing before the hood goes on. Please settle a debate with my “friend.” I’m correct in that your staff comes up with the clever names of those who submit letters to your Savage Love column, right? My “friend” holds the delusional belief that the clever names are created by the letter writers themselves. Please settle this with a confirmation that I am correct. Friendship Risked In Entirely Needless Dispute A million or so years ago I began shortening sign-offs created by the letter writers into acronyms to save space. Readers noticed what I was doing and began creating signoffs that, when acronymized, became words that playfully referenced their questions. It quickly became something “Savage Love” readers looked forward to, and it wasn’t long before readers were letting me know they were disappointed when sign-offs didn’t result in clever acronyms. So nowadays when readers don’t go to the trouble of creating clever sign-offs for themselves, I do it for them. I would say I come up with roughly half the sign-offs that appear in the column, FRIEND, which means you and your friend are both right.

Meet Apache! Apache (A431789) is a 7-yearold neutered male who was surrendered to our shelter and is longing for his forever home. Apache is friendly with women, men and children, he is housebroken and knows basic commands, and he would prefer to be the only pet in the home. As part of our senior promotion Apache is free to adopt, and because he is already neutered, microchipped and vaccinated he will be available to go home the same day he is adopted. If you would like to meet Apache, links to make an appointment to visit the shelter will be posted on orlandoweekly.com. For the month of July adoption fees are reduced to $10 for both dogs and cats as we encourage everyone to consider adopting a Quarantine Buddy. The fees include 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.-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, please call 407-836-3111 or visit ocnetpets.com.
