¶ Vaccines for all is a necessity To prevent further spread of the coronavirus, we should require everyone to get fully vaccinated (including a possible third dose) — unless exempted by a sincerely held religious belief or medical condition. We should write to our legislators and executives at all levels of government. — Alvin Blake, Orlando

¶ Voting rights protections now The Senate minority is abusing the filibuster to stop key voting rights legislation from getting a fair up-or-down vote — making it clear that they think partisan politics should come before equality and democracy. We cannot let them continue exploiting this Jim Crow relic to rig our democracy, protect corrupt politicians and more. The Senate must not allow the filibuster to kill federal action to protect voters — whether that means amending this outdated loophole or abolishing it altogether. — Rick Schumann, Longwood

¶ The grand unmasking Last week we reported on a bill filed by Sen. Keith Perry, R-Gainesville, that would freeze Gov. Ron DeSantis’ executive order banning mask mandates in schools into state law (“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ ban on school mask mandates could become state law,” Oct. 14). The bill is filed for consideration during the 2022 legislative session, which will start in January. Perry’s bill would make void any school “policy, rule, code of conduct or order” requiring masks. Perry is from Alachua County, where the school board — along with school boards in Miami-Dade, Broward, Orange, Duval and Leon counties — has bucked DeSantis on the mask issue.

“KYRIE AND KAP”

@Ryan Hamilton: We have got to start voting these state GOP people out. This contrarian shit has got to stop. Facts are facts, why are they making it so stupid? @Angela Frechette: A law that says you must kill children? Sounds about right for Florida. @Nick Pischel: Fantastic! This is so amazing! @Trista Edgley: DeSantis is a chooch.

¶ Conserve natural spaces and species Gray wolves in Montana and Idaho are being targeted by states that have authorized the killing of as many as 90 percent of the population. In Montana, [one] can sit just feet outside of Yellowstone National Park and gun down as many as 10 wolves each. In Idaho, private contractors have been hired by the state to trap and shoot nearly all of the wolves in their borders. Montana will soon allow the use of deadly and indiscriminate neck snares that strangle the animal unfortunate enough to come across them. The Biden Administration needs to act. The former Director of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under President Obama published an op-ed in the Washington Post calling on the administration to issue emergency protections for gray wolves. In the op-ed, Dan Ashe detailed the authority that Secretary Haaland has to do so and provided ample reasons for this action. Biden and Haaland are entrusted with the caretaking of our natural spaces and the species that live on them. Their inaction to date is inexcusable. Please join me in writing to the Department of Interior at doi.gov and ask that they finally act to protect wolves in the Northern Rockies before it is too late. — Sarah Roland, Casselberry

Wife of Orlando’s Pulse shooter gives interview for the first time in years The wife of the Pulse shooter is speaking out for the first time in years, giving a greater accounting of her side of the story than she ever has publicly. In a new interview with Vice, Noor Salman painted a picture of a deeply abusive marriage that still offered no indication of what nightclub shooter Omar Mateen was planning. Salman enlisted family members to help get his abuses in line, which included carving up his son’s toys with a knife in a fit of rage, to no avail. Salman has left Orlando for California, changed her name and instructed her son to tell people he never knew his father. She says she frequently goes out in a kind of disguise, attempting to look as different as possible from the photos of her that were shared on the news. Salman was tried and acquitted on allegations of aiding Mateen’s attack, at the time the deadliest mass shooting in American history. On the day after the shooting, investigators seemingly coerced a confession out of her during an 11-hour investigation. Though she told police that she wished she could go back in time and tell people what Mateen planned to do, further investigation found that Salman would have had no way of knowing what the shooter was planning. In her talks with Vice, she admitted she went along with the “confession” because she wanted to get out of the room. Now, she’s trying to raise her young son, who is fully aware of what his father did, and avoid being recognized. “You did something so selfish, so evil, and you stuck me with your child,” she said of the situation. “Now I have to figure out how we’ll survive.” The interview with Salman reveals a rather lonely existence, isolated from people who still refuse to be around her even after a jury cleared her name. “I still have people that won’t associate with me even after my acquittal,” Salman said.

School board member details threats made against her for supporting mask mandate Brevard County School Board member Jennifer Jenkins is one of several school board members across Florida who have been threatened or otherwise harassed for their support of school mask mandates. Jenkins went viral this week for explaining the threats of violence she’s received during a recent school board meeting. In an address to the audience, she countered the line from Tallahassee that investigations into harassment

are quashing the free speech rights of citizens. “I don’t reject people coming here and speaking their voice,” Jenkins said, before detailing several instances of intimidation and threats. “I reject them following my car around. I reject them saying that they’re coming for me, that I need to beg for mercy.” Jenkins said protesters came to her home brandishing weapons, and noted that one woman coughed in her face intentionally when she confronted them. That story is backed up by a police report from local authorities. She also says one of her trees was chopped down and the letters “F U” burned into her lawn with grass killer. “I reject that when they are using their First Amendment rights on public property, they’re also going behind my home and brandishing their weapons to my neighbors,” she said at the meeting. An NBC News report reveals that a false report of abuse was filed against Jenkins with the Department of Children and Families, alleging she beat and burned her 5-year-old daughter. An examination found no signs of abuse and concluded that the report was further harassment. Gov. Ron DeSantis has repeatedly pushed back on federal investigations into the threats being made against school board members, and continues to fight to keep his executive order barring mask mandates in place. The Florida School Boards Association broke from the national organization to side with DeSantis.

Vermont family alleges toddler was sexually assaulted on Disney Cruise Line ship A Vermont family is suing Disney for $20 million, saying their child was sexually assaulted while in the care of a Disney Cruise Line day care facility. The anonymous couple claim that their toddler was assaulted aboard the Disney Fantasy during a January 2020 cruise in a lawsuit filed Sept. 22. They say that their child, identified as R.V., was “physically restrained and sexually assaulted by a significantly older child.” They claim that Disney is at fault for understaffing their Oceaneer Club daycare, allowing the alleged assault to happen outside of supervision The lawsuit also claims that Disney should have separated children by age group to avoid the situation they describe. Representatives for Disney called the case baseless and said that the matter had already been investigated by local authorities. “The plaintiffs’ first allegations were reported to the

FBI, and the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office investigated them and determined them to be unfounded,” said Disney Cruise Line spokesperson Cynthia Martinez in a statement. “The plaintiffs have now come back with a different story, which is equally unfounded, that another young female child acted inappropriately with their child. We will vigorously defend this case in court.”

Orlando Fringe to head back downtown for Winter Mini-Fest in January It’s been quite a while since Orlando Fringe, the spring bacchanal of experimental theater, has called downtown Orlando home. In 2003, the long-running fest made the decision to move to Loch Haven Park. But an offshoot of the big bash is putting out-there performances back where they began. This year’s Fringe Winter Mini-Fest will bring the organization back into downtown. The next Winter Mini-Fest will take over Haos on Church and the Floridabilt for their January event. Unlike the main Fringe, the mini-fest is much more intentional in the way it goes about putting on shows. Rather than opening up a firehose of outsider energy, Winter Mini-Fest is curated by the organizers, who invite performers they love to show off their work.

Brevard Public Schools remove graphic novel about being genderqueer Brevard Public Schools has pulled from its libraries an illustrated graphic novel that depicts the experience of learning to exist outside the gender binary, calling it “inappropriate.” Maia Kobabe’s Gender Queer: A Memoir was pulled from school shelves by BPS leaders and flagged so that more copies would not be purchased. “BPS staff immediately agreed that this book violates our guidelines and that it has no place in our school district. I have directed staff to ensure there are no other similar books in our libraries,” BPS Superintendent Dr. Mark Mullins said. “I want to remind families that each school’s library books can be reviewed online. I encourage parents to review the content that is available to students.” The announcement of the removal of a book about coming to terms with identity and sharing with friends and family came shortly after National Coming Out Day. — Alex Galbraith

New election law brings increased costs, reduced service Election supervisors in some Florida counties say they will need thousands of dollars in additional funding to meet requirements of a new election law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. To cover the additional costs, at least one county is reducing the number of ballot drop-off boxes, making voting less convenient. Despite conducting a seemingly flawless presidential election last year, the law known as Senate Bill 90 changes how elections in Florida will be handled, including controversial changes involving ballot drop-off boxes and vote-by-mail ballots. In a survey of supervisors of elections offices across Florida, a dozen respondents confirmed they expected to spend a combined total of $164,390 more next year to meet the new law’s requirements. More than half of Florida’s 67 elections offices either didn’t respond to questions about the new costs they might face under the law, declined to answer questions or weren’t sure about any impact on their budgets. Under the new law, ballot drop-off boxes can only be utilized during early-voting hours. Boxes must be located at either a county’s elections office or early-voting sites. The law further mandates that ballot drop-off boxes be guarded by an employee of the elections office when in use. — Natalia Galicza, Fresh Take Florida

Proposal aims to prevent ranked choice voting in Florida A Senate Republican filed an elections bill Monday that would prevent ranked choice voting in Florida. Sen. Travis Hutson, R-St. Augustine, filed the measure (SB 524) for consideration during the 2022 legislative session, which starts in January. In part, it would prevent the state and local governments from using ranked choice voting, which involves voters ranking all of the candidates when casting ballots. If no candidate receives a majority in the initial tally, the candidate with the fewest votes drops off. Votes for that candidate then shift to other candidates. The process continues until a candidate has a majority. The issue has arisen in places such as Sarasota, where voters in 2007 approved moving to ranked choice voting. But the city has not started using it, and Secretary of State Laurel Lee has said it is not allowed under Florida law, according to local media reports.

A political committee known as Floridians for Free and Fair Elections has proposed a constitutional amendment to allow ranked choice voting in the state. But as of Monday, the state had received only 16 valid petition signatures for the initiative, according to the Florida Division of Elections website.

Vacation rental issue re-emerges in Legislature Florida lawmakers appear poised to again debate the regulation of the vacation-rental industry. Rep. Jason Fischer, R-Jacksonville, last Monday filed a bill (HB 325) that is the latest version in a long-running battle about issues such as how much authority cities and counties should have to regulate vacation rentals. Sen. Danny Burgess, R-Zephyrhills, filed an identical bill (SB 512) last Friday. Lawmakers will consider the measures during the 2022 legislative session, which starts in January. The bills say, in part, that the regulation of online vacation-rental platforms “is pre-empted to the state,” which would take away local authority to regulate platforms such as Airbnb. It would allow local governments to require the registration of vacation rental properties. Cities and counties have fought past vacation-rental bills, arguing that they should have regulatory authority.

Motorists could face higher gas prices Though gasoline prices remained relatively steady last week, the AAA auto club said Monday that Florida motorists could again see rising costs when they fill up their tanks. AAA said crude-oil and gasoline futures prices increased last week and that wholesale gas prices reached a level that could lead to motorists paying an average of more than $3.20 a gallon. “It appears the pain at the pump is going to get worse before it gets better,” AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in a prepared statement. “Florida drivers are likely to face another round of rising prices, as global supply concerns keep upward pressure on the price of crude. It’s unclear when the relief at the pump will come, but these elevated prices at the pump are likely to linger through the winter months.” AAA said Monday the average price of a gallon of unleaded gas in Florida was $3.18, up a half-cent from a week earlier. The average price was $3.10 a month ago.

State heads off debt collectors on ‘overpayments’ Gov. Ron DeSantis called last week for indefinitely keeping debt collectors away from Floridians facing “overpayment” notices on unemployment aid received during the COVID-19 pandemic. DeSantis directed Department of Economic Opportunity Secretary Dane Eagle to ask state Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis to defer referrals to collection agencies of all non-fraudulent debts owed on unemployment benefits from March 1, 2020, to Sept. 4, 2021. “To be clear, this request must not apply to overpayments related to fraud, and DEO (the Department of Economic Opportunity) must continue to vigorously investigate fraudulent overpayments and ensure individuals be held accountable for their fraudulent actions,” DeSantis wrote to Eagle. Since March 15, 2020, the state has distributed nearly $31.77 billion to more than 2.4 million claimants. While most of the money came from the federal government, more than $7.3 billion was state money. The state hasn’t put an overall total on the overpayments issued.

Lawmakers to again weigh college president search exemption After the idea was narrowly defeated in April, a Senate Republican last week filed a bill that would provide a public-records exemption for information about applicants to become presidents of state universities and colleges. Sen. Jeff Brandes, R-St. Petersburg, filed the proposal (SB 520) for consideration during the 2022 legislative session, which starts in January. A version of the bill passed the House in April but fell one vote short of passing in the Senate. Public-records exemptions need the support of two-thirds of the House and Senate, and the measure died in the Senate on a 25-14 vote. Supporters of such an exemption have long argued that the requirement to disclose “personal identifying information” about applicants to become university and college presidents could drive away good candidates. Opponents have argued that the proposal would conflict with the state’s longstanding open-government laws and would prevent the release of potentially important information about qualified candidates who applied for positions but were not chosen. Under Brandes’ bill, identifying information about finalists would be disclosed. — News Service of Florida

Political essayist Jamelle Bouie thinks simply avoiding wedge issues won’t be enough for Dems to win swing voters PHOTO COURTESY JAMELLE BOUIE

ON FILTH AND POPULARISM Is there any way for Dem candidates to avoid walking into an electoral buzzsaw? BY JEFFREY C. BIL L M A N

With apologies for starting consecutive

columns in North Carolina, let me tell you a story about the state’s first Black lieutenant governor, Mark Robinson. He’s a Republican religious fundamentalist with a long history of anti-LGBTQ social media posts who rose to fame after a pro-gun speech went viral. He’s spent his time in office targeting “liberal indoctrination” in schools: critical race theory, teachers using CNN, that sort of thing. He’ll almost certainly be the Republican Party’s candidate for governor in 2024. Earlier this month, video surfaced of Robinson speaking at a religious event in June. He said a lot of stuff about how schools should force students to pray, how churches should exert more influence over politics, how “godless people” want to defund police, and how non-Christians have “no wisdom.” But the line that made news was this: “There’s no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth. And yes, I called it filth, and if you don’t like that I called it filth, come see me and I’ll explain it to you.” After Robinson received — perhaps welcomed is a better word — a flurry of condemnations from the media, liberals and even the White House, he posted a video to Facebook in which he said he “will not back down,” claimed he’d been “viciously attacked,” then argued he hadn’t really called LGBTQ folks “filth.” “However,” he said, “the idea that our children should be taught about concepts

of transgenderism and be exposed to sexually explicit materials in the classroom is abhorrent.” Consider those hairs split. I thought of this episode while considering David Shor, an ex-Obama wunderkind who briefly dominated lefty political discourse on Twitter earlier this month. (Bear with me.) Shor, according to an Ezra Klein essay in the New York Times, says Democrats have become a well-educated, urban party in a countermajoritarian system that favors rural states, and they’re about to run into an electoral buzzsaw. “Educational polarization has made the Senate even more biased against Democrats than it was, and the decline in ticket splitting has made it harder for individual Democratic candidates to run ahead of their party,” Klein explains. Shor’s diagnosis is hard to argue. His prescription, called popularism, is more contentious. To stay viable, he says, Democrats need to win in states that lean Republican. To win those states, they need to win swing voters. To win those swing voters, they should only talk about policies those voters like and scrupulously avoid anything that might turn them off — for example, issues like race and immigration. In North Carolina — a red-leaning state where Democrats consistently lose by narrow margins — longtime Democratic operative Thomas Mills argues that Shor is correct: “[Democrats] cannot win in a state like North

Carolina if the perception among less engaged voters is that Democrats are more of a protest movement than political party.” But North Carolina also points out a flaw in Shor’s case: Democrats don’t control what other people talk about. Mark Robinson wants the culture war front and center: critical race theory, “transgenderism,” guns, school prayer, you name it. The more controversy, the better. Wedge issues are his path to power. Are Democrats supposed to ignore him — or the fact that no prominent Republican rebuked him? Beyond alienating a core group of supporters, would that win a single vote? Also writing in the Times, Jamelle Bouie argues that avoiding wedge issues won’t suffice. To actually pick up swing voters drawn to Republican rhetoric, they’d have to adopt the Third Way/Bill Clinton strategy of the 1990s: “[Clinton] spoke about the party’s most popular policies while also taking every opportunity to show that he was not, and would not be, beholden to the interests of Black Americans.” Just imagine attempting this sort of triangulation in Ohio, where Republicans Josh Mandel and J.D. Vance are trying to out-clown each other in the U.S. Senate primary. For example: Mandel has called for a “Judeo-Christian revolution” and compared Afghan refugees to “alligators” and vaccine mandates to the Holocaust; Vance says the “Democrat Party” is “a party of childless people” who shouldn’t be allowed to vote, and has defended a Nazi who was booted from Twitter. The more outlandish the rhetoric, the harder it is for economic plans to break through the noise (c.f. Clinton, Hillary). But with opponents like these, I suspect there’s not much for Democrats to do but act sane; if swing voters aren’t appalled by what they’re hearing, they weren’t winnable anyway. If Shor’s approach succeeds, Democrats would likely hold the Senate thanks to candidates who feel the need to show their independence from their party. If you want to see how that would work, look no further than Joe Manchin, D-Coal, who is now demanding that his party means-test the popular child tax credit and remove the most important climate change provision in the reconciliation bill. Or Kyrsten Sinema, D-Pharma, who opposes allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. In other words, it probably won’t be great for either political messaging or policy outcomes. For no clear reason beyond vagaries about inflation and deficits, Sinema and Manchin are making President Biden’s signature legislation less effective and harder to sell. Now imagine a Senate Democratic caucus with two or three more Manchins in it. Is that better than a Senate run by Mitch McConnell? If you’re a Democrat, obviously. But progressives will have to significantly lower their expectations for what a Democratic Senate can accomplish. The thing is, I don’t think Shor’s wrong. The antidemocratic anachronisms baked into the Constitution are looming ever larger, in the Senate especially. Had Democrats quickly made Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico states this year, perhaps they could bet on sweeping the four new seats. But they didn’t, and now they’re staring down a hellish Senate map in 2022 — and begging Manchin and Sinema to let them show something for their time in power.

A true story of fear, fatherhood and the collapse of the empire.

Gun School BY SAMUEL LIGON

The

c l ass I took was Basic Handgun, a beginners course in which I was introduced to “the operation of semi-automatics, revolvers, and firearm safety.” It was September 2020, mid-lockdown, midcrazy, a month before my second son would be born, 22 years after my first son was born. At gun school, social distancing would be practiced, one student per table, classes no larger than eight students. Everyone would be masked. And armed, of course.

his was a few months after the BLM demonstrations in Spokane, Washington, when the militia was out at night with their guns and camouflage costumes. Kate and I saw them on TV and Twitter, in Spokane and all over the West, men with assault weapons ready for war. I’d seen them in Olympia, too, armed citizens asserting their rights. The third-grade teachers would usher their students back to the buses, their Capitol tour abruptly over. This was before the Capitol grounds were fenced, before people started shooting each other during weekend protests. In August, Kate and I saw a guy at the Country Store shopping with his wife and toddler with a gun on his hip, a posture I found idiotic, intimidating, infuriating.

He was why I wanted to go to gun school. I hated him for walking around like that. I didn’t tell Kate I was going for weeks, and when I did tell her, she didn’t say much. In fact, she didn’t say anything. I considered canceling, but it had been so hard to get a spot. Everyone wanted to go to gun school. The pandemic — or something worse, whatever it was that had been tearing us apart for years — was working our fear, making some of us conclude that we might have to shoot somebody soon, which is what we mean when we talk about self-defense.

y brother bought a gun and locked it in his basement. For bears, he said. “Really?” I said. “Bears?” “Listen,” he said. “I hear people shooting here all the time.” “It’s Vermont,” I said. “People shoot there — don’t they?” “Not like this,” he said. “Like what?” “Like they’re gathering,” he said. “Who is?” “I don’t know,” he said. “I know it’s ridiculous.” But I had the same paranoia, all those armed men in the streets — “to protect you,” one of them told a woman who asked why they were in her neighborhood. She was brave as hell, following them around Spokane with her phone, recording their movements, asking them to leave, telling them she didn’t want them in her neighborhood, that their guns didn’t make her feel safe, posting it all over social media. I thought of the Gil Scott-Heron line, “Who’s going to protect me from you?” I put my baseball bat under the bed and bought a can of pepper spray. My brother called from his front porch, gun in hand. “They’re up the hill,” he said, “shooting like crazy.” “Who is?” “Listen,” he said, holding out his phone. “Firecrackers,” I said. “It’s not firecrackers.” “It’s Friday night,” I said. “People are partying.”

“With guns,” he said. “It’s Vermont,” I said. “There aren’t any militias.” “You don’t know that.” He was right. I didn’t know anything.

y brother-in-law in suburban Cleveland bought a shotgun. My sister wouldn’t talk about it. “I’ll get the shells next,” he said. “Do you know how to use it?” I said. “It’s a shotgun,” he said. “I think you just point and shoot.” “At who?” I said. “I know,” he said. “I understand what you’re saying. But still.” We hadn’t grown up with guns in my family and now everyone was getting one. We’d lived in safe neighborhoods and could rely on the protection of the police. We were starting to understand just how lucky we’d been. I hadn’t shot one in years. And I hadn’t been out of my pajamas since April, when we came back to Spokane from Olympia, where I serve as a legislative liaison. Summer got smokey. One night it was so bad in our creaky, old house I woke to Kate in a mask beside me. I made an air purifier out of a furnace filter taped to a box fan. She was 8 months pregnant. “At least the baby doesn’t have to breathe this,” she said. I planned what I’d wear to gun school — black jeans, black T-shirt, steel-toed boots. My brother called when I was getting ready, and we kept talking as I drove. He wanted to know what kind of guns I’d be shooting. I told him I wasn’t sure. “I don’t know how to use mine,” he said. “It scares the hell out of me.” “Get rid of it,” I said. “I can’t,” he said. “Why do you even have it?” “Just in case,” he said.

(continued from page 21) I knew the statistics about guns in houses and people getting killed with them, domestic violence and suicide, accidents and murder. “Don’t show the gun,” we used to say as union leaders back on Long Island, “unless you’re willing to use it.” Meaning don’t make a threat you can’t back up. But that was years ago. And we hadn’t been talking about actual guns. And now we were somehow. Or I was. “Maybe you just need to learn how to use it,” I told my brother on the phone. “I know,” he said. “But I don’t want to.” There was no traffic. Everyone was locked up at home. But it seemed like I might be late for school. I told my brother I had to go. “I don’t even want to touch it,” he said. You had to be willing to use it was the thing — to shoot somebody. That’s what we meant metaphorically in the union. Or they’d take it away and use it on you. But this wasn’t metaphorical. If I bought the gun, would I show it? And after showing it, would I use it, or would my target take it away and shoot me or Kate or the baby or somebody else three weeks later? I parked and walked toward the building. That’s when I realized I was wearing my slippers. I had gotten out of my pajamas and managed to put on my black jeans and T-shirt, but I’d forgotten my boots on account of my brother calling. My slippers were fuzzy wool with rubber soles. People were going to hate me at gun school, but showing up barefooted would be worse. “It’ll depend on how the election turns out,” the man at the front of the classroom was saying as I walked in. He stopped talking and looked at me and my slippers. They all did. Then he handed me my earmuffs and safety glasses and distributed the training packet. I sat at a table in the second row. Our teacher asked us to introduce ourselves and talk about why we were there and what our experience was. I said my purpose was self-defense and that I used to shoot cans and milk jugs. I said my brother was a sheriff in Vermont. I had to stop myself from saying anything else. I might have said anything. I wanted them to like me. The other guys said who they were. I was the only one there who didn’t already own a gun. Which was fine, our teacher said, because I would be firing lots of handguns today and would get a feel for what I’d want to buy. I paged through the training manual. “Do not put ammunition in your mouth,” it said in the safety section. The other guys knew as little as I did, or they wouldn’t have been there. Each of them had a new gun and now they wanted to learn how to shoot people with it. Our teacher stood behind a table of guns, which he said we’d talk about soon enough, but first we had to cover the four universal firearm rules — All guns are always loaded, Never point the firearm at anything you do not want to put a hole in, and two other ones I can’t remember, kind of like the four noble truths of Buddhism. Our teacher covered the pros and cons of semiautomatics and revolvers, the difference between single-action and double-action and striker-fired firearms.

He was competent as hell. When he picked up a gun, he seemed comfortable with it, unlike me and my brother. He would not show the gun unless he was willing to use it. And he was willing. I thought maybe I was too. I didn’t want to walk around with it or sleep with it under my pillow. But if all hell broke loose, at least I’d have one and know how to use it. If the militia came to our front door, for example, and into our house. People were getting killed all over — Minneapolis, Kenosha, Portland. Class went on for hours. I took furious notes, the most studious student in the room, there in the second row in my slippers. As a teacher myself, I knew our teacher would like me best, the one right there with him. Then it was time to go to the range. I shot a .38 Special and a .44. We were each in our own lane, shooting targets 20 feet away. I wasn’t hitting much. “You’re going to have to account for your flinch,” our teacher said. We’d practiced loading magazines in class and I loaded two now for the semi-automatics at my station. One was much bigger than the other, heavier. “That’s the one the SEALs use,” my teacher said. It had a little anchor etched into its barrel. I tried to account for my flinch, concentrated on my breathing, on relaxing, trying to reach a meditative shooting state. I fired and hit my target in the chest. I took more deep breaths, accounted for the flinch. I fired and hit my target in the throat, in the head, in the chest again. Nice and slow. Pop. Pop. Bang. “Good pattern,” my teacher said. “Now try the other gun.” The lighter one was even better. I’d be able to shoot all kinds of people with it — in selfdefense. This was the one I wanted. I tried to maintain my Zen state, breathing, shooting, relaxing. Sometimes I missed my target. Sometimes I hit three feet from where I was aiming. “Just imagine if he was moving,” my teacher said. “That’s what you’re going to have to train for.” Right, I thought. Moving targets. “It’s nothing like the movies,” he said. But some of it was.

ate was asleep when I got home. She asked about it in the morning and I said it had been interesting. Then I went online to buy a gun, one of the .9s I liked. But it turned out you couldn’t buy a gun, not one of the good ones, not anytime soon. You couldn’t buy ammo either. Everyone had already bought it all. The manufacturers couldn’t keep up. It was the pandemic and also that other thing that had been boiling away for years, the country coming apart, infected with hatred, so many of us arming and rearming ourselves, preparing to kill each other. And I was one of them. If somebody came after me or my family, I believed I would be able to shoot them, to kill them. I’d imagined it at the range as hard as I could. Would I be able to use the gun? Yes, I decided. Who knew

if it was really true. I found a store with a waiting list and put my name on it. At lunch I told Kate how you couldn’t buy a gun today, not an expensive, accurate one. “But I put my name on a list,” I said. I could feel the weight of the heavy one in my hand. Kate was quiet. I concentrated on my sandwich. “We’re not getting a gun,” she finally said. Her cousin had killed himself with one, I knew that much. But I also knew how afraid she’d been of the armed men in the streets, how afraid she was of armed men at home, too, killing themselves and their wives and their children. “What about the militias,” I said. “You want to be like them?” she said. I just wanted to be on my own side. With a gun. Ready for the end of the world. I told her we’d keep it locked up, that we’d both learn to use it, that we’d never take it out except to go to the range or if we really needed it. I was starting to wear her down a little. “Absolutely not,” she said. I took my name off the list.

y gun fever subsided over the following days. The baby was born. Other stuff happened that winter. My fever came back. Kate never had a fever, but there was a kind of wearing down in her, bred from the fear and rage and despair infecting us and so many others across the country. We hated the Supreme Court and Congress, big business and the academy, the woke left and the fascist right, social media and podcasts. We hated the pious maskers and the furious anti-maskers. We hated not being around people, even though we hated so many people. Kate and I were self-contained at home with a new baby, luckier than most to have the joy that baby brought and brings. We had enough money. We’d been spared so much suffering. But we still got enraged too often, or fell into despair, the kind of despair and rage and impotence that accompanies general collapse, the end of the empire, the end of the world. Even though we had everything. We still talk about the gun sometimes, when things outside are particularly bad, when something scares us enough. “But we’d have to be very certain,” Kate says, trailing off. I know what she means — that we’d have to be very certain to keep it locked up, never taking it out, forgetting it entirely, or better still, never buying it in the first place. When I was 12, I shot milk jugs full of water with a .30-06. It belonged to my dentist, a family friend, and he taught me how to shoot it with a giant cup of vodka in his hand, setting up plastic gallons of water as targets. I finally hit them all and he told me to go look at what I’d hit. But I couldn’t find anything, just puddles. “Isn’t that something?” he said. It really was — everything gone but the water. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

BY SETH KUBERSKY

Alex Vincent, also known as Andy Barclay, the kid with a killer doll in the first two Child’s Play films, returns to Orlando for Spooky Empire COVID-19 nearly dealt a killing blow to the pop-culture fan convention circuit last year. But just like an ’80s slasher movie villain, you can’t keep a good con down, and Spooky Empire (spookyempire. com) — which has grown over 18 years into one of the nation’s biggest gatherings of fright-flick fans — is staggering back into Orlando’s Hyatt Regency Oct. 22-24 for what’s billed as the “Ultimate Horror Weekend.” Once again, the festivities will feature costume contests, tattoo artists, film festivals and celluloid celebrities, including Robert Englund, Lance Henriksen, Kathy Najjimy — and Alex Vincent, best known as “Andy Barclay,” the young protagonist pursued by a killer doll in the original two Child’s Play films. I talked to Vincent about our shared upbringing in northern New Jersey, his pivot away from acting to establish his own recording studio in Central Florida (avproductionsonline. com), and his return to his iconic role in the new SyFy series Chucky.

What was your introduction to acting?

My neighbor Sarah from down the street did commercials, and I saw her on TV … so the reality of someone that you know in person appearing on the television screen was a very literal thing that I experienced when I was a kid. That’s what gave me the idea, and that’s what also led me to knowing how to find an agent and a manager, and how to start going out on auditions to begin with. How did being unwilling to say “bitch” during the audition help you land your role in Child’s Play?

I think the innocence of Andy Barclay was incredibly necessary to juxtapose

ALEX VINCENT AND CHUCKY IN ‘CHILD’S PLAY,’ 1988 | PHOTO COURTESY MGM

against the viciousness of this killer doll. I think building sympathy for that character is what made the fear that much more visceral for the audience. So I think the fact that I didn’t want to swear in front of my mother as a 6-year-old demonstrated, rather unintentionally, the innocence that was exactly what they wanted out of that character. Why do you think you emerged from making the Child’s Play films without the trauma that some other child horror stars experienced?

My acting coach Margaret was really instrumental in helping me understand the character, but the real reason is just that I was an exceptionally bright kid. I knew exactly why I was there and what we were trying to sell. Also, when people think about what that experience would be like — working with that killer doll — they’re basing that off of the images that they saw of Chucky [on screen], and that’s so different from what we saw. … You know, we didn’t know how this was going to look real on camera, because it definitely did not in person. How is your relationship with Brad Dourif, the voice of Chucky?

In the first couple films, Brad was there initially; we did table readings and went through things like that, so I did actually act in person some of those lines with him, but that’s a memory I don’t even hold anymore. He’s been excessively complimentary of me as an actor, which was certainly flattering, but more importantly, encouraging. … [Dourif ] appreciates the work that I’ve done with this character, because if Chucky is “my friend till the end,” he’s had a connection with me for 33 years. How did you end up studying audio engineering at Orlando’s Full Sail University?

I’m a really huge music fan. I started

producing techno music in the late ’90s. I had simple [software] like Sony Acid, so I would mess around with that and make some techno music. Full Sail was pretty popular at the time; it was kind of like the cool place to go … it just seemed like a good step forward to have some sort of documented basis for the knowledge of what I was already learning. I was really focused at the school. I got straight As while I was there. What was your reaction when franchise creator Don Mancini asked you to reprise Andy in the new series?

I was incredibly grateful but I wasn’t all that surprised, because he was my friend. We talked about it a lot. I knew it was something he wanted to do. The loyalty of a good friend is the only explanation for what is an incredibly rare opportunity for any one person: to play the same character at 40 years old that they did at 6 years old. That’s just a testament to Don’s loyalty and what a good guy he is, and he knows that the parallels of Andy Barclay and myself are rather tangible. I mean, Chucky has been in my life since I was 6 years old; he’s had a profound impact on my life in many positive ways, and plenty of negative ways, so there’s definitely parallels. How do you feel about resuming appearances at conventions like Spooky Empire?

Spooky Empire in particular is really a party: a gathering of like-minded people that come back year after year, for the experience of the weekends. They’re driven by that shared experience, more than they are by their desire to have a poster signed by someone. It’s the shared experience that brings people back, and what makes it fun for me to continue doing it. It’s not that easy to go into a weekend where all eyes are on you when you don’t live that life day to day. But it’s made enjoyable by the fact that it’s something we all we all share together. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

GATLIN HALL BREWING 4721 S. Orange Ave. 407-317-5157 gatlinhallbrewing.com $$

SOUTH ORANGE SUDS Gatlin Hall Brewing brings top-notch beer and bites to a rejuvenated SoDo plaza BY HOLLY V. KAPHERR

he enlivening of the South Orange corridor between Michigan Street and the town of Edgewood continues. Gatlin Hall Brewing’s opening complements its neighbors — The Porch, Buttercrust Pizza and anchor Brazas Chicken — as yet another excellent option for happy hour, casual weeknight eats and leisurely weekend hangs. The dozen beers produced on site at Gatlin Hall are crafted by brewmaster Tyler Rosenberg. A native of Tampa, he’s crossed the I-4 corridor coming from Carrollwood Brewing Co., Coppertail Brewing Co. and Cigar City Brewing, where he brewed the core brands as well as the special edition and barrel-aged beers. He assisted Cigar City in bringing home Florida’s sole gold medal from the Great American Beer Festival in 2019. Rosenberg has also received more than 50 medals for his original recipes and was named Florida Homebrewer of the Year in 2017. All this is to say: The beers at Gatlin Hall are very good. The tap room is the main attraction — an expansive but somehow comfortable and cozy space with high-top tables, a 40-plusfoot bar with stools and oversized booths lining the front windows. The bartenders are more than accommodating for first-timers to the spot, offering samples of any of the dozen beers on tap. Unlike many other breweries, Gatlin Hall Brewing also offers a full bar, so if you’re hanging with friends who prefer a bev with more bite, cocktails and

wine are also available. On the night I visited, Rosenberg’s beers occupied seven of the 13 taps. Three of the remaining taps contained Orlando-based beers from other local brewers (Ivanhoe Park, Ravenous Pig and Ellipsis), two from Tampa (Angry Chair and Late Start) and a Key lime pie-fruited Berliner Weisse to write home about from Proof in Tallahassee. Beers are available in five- or 16-ounce pours, and a flight includes three of the five-ouncers. A fan of complex crafts, I particularly liked the hoppy Ghost Dog New England pale ale ($6 for 16 ounces) and the Stormbreaker Imperial IPA ($8 for 16 ounces), which clocks in at a hefty 8% ABV. It’s brewed with Kveik yeast and a blend of El Dorado, Azacca and Strata hops. The nose is incredible — rich with florals that whet the palate. Three restaurant counters line the south side of Gatlin Hall Brewing, including a fourth location for Da Kine Poke, Willy’s Original

for burgers and fries, and the soon-toopen Frenchy’s Wood-Fired pizzas. The SteakHouse burger ($14) from Willy’s was a favorite at the table, with a hefty patty, cheddar cheese, thick-cut bacon and LTP. I also liked the grilled chicken & avocado sandwich for a lighter option, which showcases a nicely glazed (albeit rather skimpy) grilled chicken breast smeared with guac. I couldn’t stop eating the shoestring fries ($4.50), which were beautifully crispy and topped with a generous amount of Parmesan and fragrant rosemary. We also ordered the crispy cheese curds ($6), and while fabulously flavorful, they were just a bit too greasy and ended up as a congealed mass at the bottom of the cardboard serving dish. Da Kine is offering the same menu as at their other locations, including the perennial favorite El Diablo and lots of options for build-your-own bowls. I’m looking forward to trying Frenchy’s on another visit. The tiled red and black pizza oven looks promising; the menu is up on Gatlin Hall’s website if you want a sneak peek. The Funghi Bianco, with mozzarella, wild mushrooms, scallions and white truffle cream sauce looks tempting. Gatlin Hall is also inviting pop-up vendors to visit — Chill In Tacos Ice Cream Taqueria recently visited and others are on deck. On the sleepy Tuesday night I visited, I asked the bartender when to expect the biggest crowds. The lunch rush is popular, as are Monday nights for football and weekend college game days. Gatlin Hall’s happy hour, where all drafts are $1 off, runs from 3 to 7 p.m. weekdays, and also brings the crowds. As the weather cools, the outdoor space at Gatlin Hall will be in high demand. With plenty of tables, oversized games like Jenga and cornhole, and strung with ambient market lights, it’s a gorgeous place to gather where you’ll have plenty of room for both two- and fourlegged friends.

BY B AO L E - H U U TONSTARTSSBANDHT | PHOTO BY CASE MAHAN

LOCAL RELEASES They may be a breakout act, but Tonstartssbandht (pronounced “tonstarts-bandit”) are still very much a self-proclaimed Orlando band. After starting out playing noisy shows at local spots like Uncle Lou’s, the brotherly duo of Andy and Edwin White went on to other cities like New York and Montreal and became a relentlessly touring band of national indie stature. But Orlando is where their roots are, where they always return, where they call home. Just look at their official promo picture above. That ain’t Williamsburg. Possibly nothing in their discography reflects the brothers’ local provenance more than their latest album, due out Friday, Oct. 22, on tastemaking Brooklyn label Mexican Summer. Written entirely here during the pandemic lockdown of 2020, the sevensong Petunia is through and through an Orlando product. Of Tonstartssbandht’s staggering 18-album catalog, it’s actually the first one they’ve made in one fell swoop as a focused effort in a single stable place (their Orlando home studio) rather than their usual mode of working piecemeal across drifting time and locale. Moreover, the music video for the album’s lead single, “What Has Happened,” is an up-close motion postcard of the real Orlando, an idyllic snapshot of the brothers in their native setting. Like their paths, Tonstartssbandht’s music has always been itinerant, a machine in perpetual motion, a thing more about voyage than destination. The beguiling Petunia continues the band’s vision quest out in the sonic hinterlands. This time, however, their psych-folk experimentalism shimmers with a new level of clarity and fresh emphasis on the brothers’ vocals.

They were touring with the like-minded Molly Burch when COVID-19 shut everything down in 2020.

OCT. 20-26, 2021 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

“THE GOODIES” I’m a woman in her 40s in a relationship with a man and I have my first STI with symptoms. Genital warts — yay! I noticed them about two months ago (near my b-hole) and went to the gyno today and had them treated. My question is, do I need to tell my boyfriend? We’ve been dating for about five months, and we don’t use protection because I have an IUD. More background info: My BF hasn’t gone down on me. He wants to, but I’m very subby and it’s hard for me to get off that way, so I’ve been putting him off. And now that I want him to try, I have warts. I don’t know if he’s seen them. Maybe? We haven’t had sex from behind in months and I think that may be why. Maybe he saw them before I did and stopped wanting to have sex in that position? He did want to fuck me from behind a couple of days ago, but I said no because I was embarrassed. Do I need to tell him I have HPV/genital warts? We’ve been having unprotected sex about five times a week for the last five months. Worrying About Really Terribly Situation “Yes, WARTS should disclose this to her partner,” said Dr. Ina Park, a professor of Family and Community Medicine at the University of California San Francisco. “Hopefully he will be calm and supportive about it, and it won’t be a big deal for the two of them.” What you’re facing, WARTS, is what I’ve long described as a “one thing/everything” disclosure scenario. Meaning, you’ll be telling your boyfriend one thing he needs to know about you when you make this disclosure — that you have a very common and easily transmissible STI — but his reaction will tell everything you need to know about him. If he isn’t calm and supportive out of the gate, WARTS, or can’t pivot to calm and supportive quickly, you’ll know he’s not anyone you want in your bed or up your butt. “And while I usually don’t try to pinpoint where HPV comes from in terms of ‘blaming’ a specific partner,” said Dr. Park, “if the boyfriend does freak out, I would make this next point: Given that the warts showed up for the first time so soon after starting this new relationship, it’s likely that WARTS’ current partner gave her the HPV that’s causing these warts.” Dr. Park, who is also an STI prevention consultant to the Centers for Disease Control (and so knows what the fuck she’s talking about), points out that the strains of HPV most likely to cause genital warts — types 6 and 11, for those keeping score — will typically start showing symptoms a few months after someone starts sleeping with a new partner who has undisclosed or undiagnosed HPV. “In some cases, it can be longer, and some folks won’t manifest warts for two years after exposure,” added Dr. Park. “But there have been several studies in U.S. women showing the average time to development of warts after HPV exposure is three to six months. So, while we can’t prove which of WARTS’ partners gave her HPV, she is in 42

the perfect window time-wise with the current relationship.” Which is not to suggest your boyfriend knew he had HPV and didn’t disclose or take proactive steps to protect you, WARTS, like wearing a condom, which would’ve provided you with a significant degree of protection. Like most people with HPV — assuming he has HPV — your boyfriend most likely wasn’t aware he had it. (And he may not have it, but he probably does; most sexually active adults do.) Now there’s a safe and effective HPV vaccine — a vaccine that protects people against HPV-related cervical cancers, penile cancers, rectal cancers and throat cancers — and ideally people should get their children vaccinated against HPV before they’re sexually active. But even sexually active adults up to age 45, including adults who’ve already had HPV, can benefit from the getting the HPV vaccine. “Since we know that WARTS’ immune system didn’t clear HPV very easily — because she had warts — it’s a great idea for her to get the HPV vaccine,” said Dr. Park. “It will protect her from the strains of HPV that she hasn’t already been exposed to, including other strains that cause warts and cancer. And WARTS should bear in mind that it often takes multiple treatments to get rid of warts. So, if they don’t go away immediately or appear to go away and come back, she needs to know that can be a normal part of the process.” (Dr. Park is the author of the wildly entertaining memoir Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs.) My brother has been submitting to a “FinDom,” something I didn’t need to know and only found out after our mother “accidentally” read his emails during a visit. (No accident. Our mother snoops.) I spoke to him about it because I was worried my brother — who has a well-paying job but has never been good with money — was being exploited. Well, as it turns out, this woman put my brother on a budget. She accepts his $200 “tributes” on the condition that he sends proof of having put $500 into a retirement savings account. So, my brother went from having zero savings to having nearly $120,000 in a retirement account. (This has been going on for a while.) I wanted to send this woman a thank-you note (I have her email, thanks to mom), but I thought that would be intrusive, so I’m writing to you instead in the hope that she reads you: Thank you for being an ethical person and getting my brother to do what I never could — save for his future — and I’m sorry about that crazed email from our mom. Intrusion Reveals A Sincerely Ethical Person I’m glad your brother found a goodie when he went looking for a FinDom, IRASEP. That said, I’m sure there are unscrupulous

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● OCT. 20-26, 2021 ● orlandoweekly.com

FinDoms out there — just like there are unscrupulous financial advisors and real estate developers and megachurch pastors. But while some FinDoms presumably take more than their subs/clients can afford to give, I think abusive FinDoms are rare. You don’t have to take my word for that: A lot of FinDoms share their receipts on Twitter, and it’s rare to see one accepting more than $100 from a client/sub during a single “draining” session. P.S. Seeing as the good FinDom your brother serves has already received an unhinged email from one member of your family — that “crazed” and most likely abusive and shaming email from your mother — you should go ahead and email her your thanks directly instead of hoping she sees your note in my column. I’ll keep the background brief: I’m a woman in a nearly 20-year-long monogamous marriage. Before we were married, my husband was involved with a particular woman. She left him, but they stayed friends. Early on, I was jealous and more than a little insecure. He ultimately married me, but she never got married. Since then, he and I have gone through the ups and downs of raising two kids together, but we’re in a really solid place, and this woman and I became friends long ago. She was recently diagnosed with an aggressive, early-onset breast cancer. It had already spread before she found the lump. They’ve given her a year. My husband went with her to her first chemo treatment. That night, he told me she was nervous and he wanted to make her feel better, so he kissed her “to distract her.” I asked if he also slept with her “to distract her.” He said of course not and apologized and said it wouldn’t happen again. I’ve had a couple of weeks to think it over and now I’m thinking I should give him my blessing to sleep with his ex. My 20-yearold self would be horrified, but honestly, Dan, if I had only one good year left, I would want some hot sex with someone who cared about me before I went. If he can give her some pleasure in what little time she has left, I wouldn’t hold that against him. Bad idea? Crazy idea? Sharing Is Caring, Kapiche? It’s not a crazy idea, SICK. It’s a beautiful, complicated, generous, fraught and compassionate idea. You want this woman, this rival who became your friend, to feel loved and to feel physical pleasure at this terrifying and heartbreaking time. We should all be so lucky to have rivals in our lives like you, SICK. Talk with your husband about it. It may not be something he wants, and it may not be something his ex wants or needs right now. But if they both want it, and sex would come as a comfort to the rival who became your friend, giving them the gift of your blessing would be a mitzvah to top all mitzvahs. questions@savagelove.net

Meet Cano! Cano (A470008) is a 9-year-old neutered male who has been at the shelter for over 186 days. Prior to coming into the shelter, Cano was found tied up outside of an animal hospital. He has had a hard time adjusting to shelter life, mostly because of his fear and distrust of other dogs. We often hear from people who visit that it’s very sad to see how long some of our dogs have been in the shelter, but can you imagine how challenging it can be for the dogs themselves, to see their kennel mates get adopted and not return to the kennels? We have been pushing on social media and even billboard postings for Cano in hopes his new family will find him and give him the life we know he deserves! During the month of October, adoption fees will be the standard $55 for dogs and $40 for cats. Adopters can receive additional Trick-or-Treat discounts from the front desk at our “Pumpkin Patch,” where they can find discounts of $5, $10, $15, $20 or a box of treats for their new pet. All pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to leaving with their new families. 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.
