So, you’ve just beaten the Georgia Bulldogs… By River Wells Sports Writer

…What do you do now? First, you celebrate, because if you’re Dan Mullen, you’ve just beaten a team that has bested you every year of your tenure thus far. On top of that, you’ve defeated your toughest opponent on the road to the SEC Championship. Then, you get back to

work. There is certainly lots to be proud of for the Gators, but even so, the road ahead spans many more miles before Mullen and company finally reach that SEC Championship they’ve been chasing for so long. While there is plenty of good to talk about in a 16-point victory against what is perhaps UF’s biggest rival, Florida still has some issues to address

across the board if it wants to make noise at the end of the season. So, you have a recordbreaking offense… …How long can you lean on it? It’s no secret that quarterback Kyle Trask has been a menace this season. He’s thrown four touchdown passes in five straight games (an SEC record) and, after the win on Saturday, finds himself squarely in the Heisman conversation. In addition to Trask, running back Dameon Pierce tacked on another touchdown Saturday evening, proving that Florida’s scoring potential expands beyond its ability to pass. For a half of football, the Gators’ offense looked truly dominant as it has shown the potential to be throughout the course

Former Vice President Joe Biden wins the 2020 presidential election FOUR DAYS AFTER ELECTION DAY, THE RESULTS WERE KNOWN: JOE BIDEN IS THE PRESIDENT-ELECT

By Steven Walker Alligator Staff Writer

A new generation of voters made it clear — the country needed change. The historic election brought about record-breaking voter turnout amid one of the most deadly and polarized points of the 21st century. Former Vice President Joe Biden secured the 270 Electoral College votes needed to become the 46th president of the U.S. on Saturday morning, according to The Associated Press. Sen. Kamala Harris became the first woman and person of color elected to the vice presidency Biden, 77, is the oldest U.S. president ever elected, but his victory was secured by voters aged 18-29, who voted overwhelmingly for Biden by 25 percentage points, according to AP polling. While record numbers of voters wondered who would win, the U.S. set records in new COVID-19 cases. Biden received the most votes for any presidential candidate ever at more than 75 million and won the popular vote by about 4.4 million as of Sunday. Many of Biden’s proposed policies speak to issues championed by college-aged voters like his plans for higher education, climate change and health care. He has said he supports creating an

affordable publicly funded health care option under the Affordable Care Act. The plan would also protect abortion, a constitutional right under Roe v. Wade. He has plans to provide two years of free President-Elect Biden community college. The president-elect said he’s against the “defund the police” movement, focusing instead on criminal rehabilitation and eliminating systemic racism. He would have the U.S. re-enter the Paris Climate Agreement, an agreement between nations to reduce global emissions, after his inauguration. Trey Hemond, a 21-year-old political science senior and UF College Democrats spokesperson, said young people should be excited about Biden. “Trump’s rhetoric has really contributed to some of the divisions people feel in politics,” Hemond said. “People really showed up to the polls to voice their opinion on that. Although Trump lost the election, he won Florida’s 29 Electoral College votes. Biden won Alachua County by 27 percentage points, about 38,000 votes. The Democratic presidential nominee has won Alachua County in every election since 1992. @swalker_7 swalker@alligator.org

Provost doesn’t agree with foreign language professors’ requests UF PROFESSORS SAY FOREIGN LANGUGAGES CAN’T BE TAUGHT WITH MASKS ON, PUSH FOR ONLINE CLASS

By Kalia Richardson Alligator Staff Writer

Face masks have added an additional roadblock to the pathway to in-person language classes, but UF administration isn’t buying professors, chairs and directors’ reasoning to stay online. Japanese, Spanish and Russian professors said they would prefer to teach through a digital screen rather than lose the ability to read students’ lips, but Provost Joseph Glover argues otherwise. Four UF language chairs and directors sent a letter to Provost Joseph Glover on Oct. 13 asking for non-English courses to remain online during the Spring. Glover wrote that he wasn’t convinced by their reason to stay online and that they should redirect their questions to the dean, according to a public records request. “Based on experience, I don’t buy the argument that students six feet apart cannot communicate,” Glover wrote in response to the letter. President Fuchs pledged on Oct. 9 to increase

in-person Spring courses. UF administrators have encouraged Hyflex, short for HybridFlexible, which offers courses online and faceto-face simultaneously. By doing so, language professors will have to wear a face mask. They argue it will make foreign language apprehension more difficult. Brittany Wise, UF director of communications, said that the administration is planning to give students and language instructors clear face masks for in-person instruction but is not sure when. Spanish lecturer Kathryn Dwyer Navajas, who has taught at UF for two decades, said language learning relies on close communication. Students sitting 6 feet apart with clear face masks would be an impediment, Navajas said. She can’t envision standing in front of a fraction of students as the majority log in online in the Spring. It abandons effective communication, she said. “It’s a little bit like being in the circus with the poles and the plates,” Navajas said. “We can only teach effectively one group or the other.” Some students struggle with the letter “R,” which sounds more like a “D” or is rolled to create the “erre” sound in Spanish. Face masks will only make it more challenging, she said. “Even in English, it’s hard to hear people

with masks when they talk,” she said. “Can you imagine students who are a little bit timid about projecting in a second language?” Navajas said that students in language classes also have to group-up with other students to practice conversing. Most language courses have a 25-student capacity and with CDC guidelines, the smallest classrooms can hold as few as two. As a result, in-class students will be limited to less students, she said. While she looks forward to being back in the classroom, she finds the Hyflex format to be ineffective. “I don’t know that there’s any research that establishes that this is an effective way of teaching anything, never mind languages,” she said. Japanese lecturer Yasuo Uotate said his assigned 25-person Spring classroom in Matherly hall doesn’t allow for much social distancing. “Do you want to sign up for a class with only you and another classmate?” he asked. “No, right.” He added that in Japanese, words like “Florida” and “computer” are borrowed, but the pronunciation is not. The F-sound is replaced with the H-sound in hoop, forcing the lip to pucker. “In person, I can say HOO-OR-I-DA pointing out my lip,” he said. “But if I’m wearing my

mask, students cannot see it.” Spencer Farfante, an 18-year-old UF exploratory engineering freshman, is taking a Spanish intensive communications course this Fall and said masks in the classroom would be an added challenge when understanding pronunciation. “That would be awful,” Farfante said. “If the Spanish is just a little muffled, that would just be very difficult because it’s not your native language.” UF professor Alexander Burak also sees teaching in a Hyflex format with face masks as a hindrance and technological inconvenience during his Russian course. It’s important to see what’s happening with students’ lips, tongues and facial expressions, he wrote in an email. A petition, initiated by UF faculty in the history department, has circulated rejecting face-to-face classes in the Spring semester. More than 820 faculty members have signed it, including Burak. “Under the current dire circumstances, teaching language synchronously/remotely on Zoom as a temporary measure would be the best solution,” he wrote. @Kaliarichardson krichardson@alligator.org

Born Zillenial: UF graduate student Today’s Weather creates a viral online community

VOLUME 115 ISSUE 11

THE ONLINE GROUP HAS ALMOST 100,000 MEMBERS

NEWSROOM:

Editor-In-Chief Engagement Managing Editor Digital Managing Editor News Managing Editor

By Kara Guillame Alligator Contributing Writer

A Facebook group formed by a UF student with a goal of reaching 100 members quickly became a viral online community. The Born Zillenial Facebook group created by Matthew Duffy, a 22-year-old UF mass communications master’s first-year, rapidly took off in early October and now has over 100,000 members. The group primarily consists of “zillenials”: people who were born sometime in the ’90s but were shaped by the early 2000s, Duffy said. The online community serves to bridge the gap between two rigidly defined generations, millenials and Gen Z, he said. Members range from 18 to 29 years in age, but there is not a restriction on who can be a part of the group. “Being a zillenial is just a mindset,” he said. “Anyone who can relate is welcome to join.” The private Facebook group is a community where members post nostalgic content and reminisce on different aspects of their childhood. Members network with one another, share advice and bond over familiar memories. Those who want to join must agree to the group rules and answer questions. Before being admitted, people must state their year of birth, what their first cell phone was and what they hope to get out of the group. Posts shared by members include photos of toys that bring feelings of nostalgia and clips from childhood TV shows such as “Hannah Montana” and “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.” Group members have also created shared playlists of songs that they grew up listening to. “It’s been incredible to see how everyone is connecting even beyond shared childhood experiences,” Duffy said. Duffy created the group as part of a semester-long project for his Social Media Community Management course. The class aims to teach students how to build and manage communities of people on social media, said Justin Kings, the UF College of Journalism and Communications Online professor who teaches the course. Although this is only the second time he has taught the course, the success of the Born Zillenial Facebook group exceeds that of any other group that students have created for this class, Kings said. “The rapid growth of Matt’s group would be regarded as successful in a professional context, let alone for a class course,” he said. “It’s been very exciting for me as a professor and for the rest of the class as well.” The goal of the assignment was for students to practice what they’ve learned in class by developing their own social media communities based on a unique idea. “The idea for this group came to me because I always felt lost between the two generations,” Duffy said. Keeping his target demographic in mind, Duffy used TikTok to recruit young group members. Duffy’s existing

followers on the app, which was then about 18,000, came to his advantage. Duffy posted an original TikTok video on Oct. 8 in which he introduced the concept of the Facebook group and encouraged people to join. “I basically told people to pity me and join my group so that I could get a good grade,” Duffy said. “But now, the group means so much more to me.” The original TikTok video that Duffy posted now has over 1.5 million views and over 250,000 likes. Less than two days after the video was posted, the Born Zillenial group had over 53,000 members. Duffy has enjoyed being a community manager but has been overwhelmed with having to oversee all aspects of the group. Because time management has been difficult to maintain, Duffy appointed five moderators on Nov. 2 to help him approve pending posts and facilitate discussion, he said. “I think I’ve spent more time on Facebook in the past three weeks than I have in the past five years,” Duffy said. Christie Allison, a 21-year-old nursing senior at Pittsburg State University in Kansas, came across the video on her TikTok feed and was immediately eager to learn more about the community. “I don’t think anyone outside of our generation can relate to this,” Allison said. “I feel heard.” Duffy has also used the success of Born Zillenial to help his classmates spread the word about their groups. Endless Love Harris, a 24-year-old mass communications master’s student who is also in the class, says Duffy helped her grow her online community. Harris created a mid-size fashion community where mid-size women can share fashion advice and connect with one another. The group now has over 450 members, she wrote in an email. “My community originally started off with about 50 close friends and family,” she wrote. “But with the help of Matt, who shared a link to my group on his group’s page, my community grew tremendously overnight.” While the positive feedback and high engagement of the group have been exciting, Duffy has had to find a balance between meeting the assignment requirements and engaging his online community. “It’s been tough at times because although I’m having fun with this, I have to make sure that I’m doing everything right to get a good grade,” he said. Although the class ends on Dec.13, Duffy plans to continue the growth of Born Zillenial beyond the assignment. He said he hopes to expand the community to Instagram and Twitter. “There are so many opportunities to mobilize us,” he said. “I have a million ideas but just have to see where I want my vision to go.”

SG promises parking ticket forgiveness, UF parking didn’t agree MACHEN SCHOLARSHIP TO GIVE FIRST GENERATION STUDENTS FREE CAPS AND GOWNS

By Lianna Hubbard Alligator Staff Writer

A parking ticket forgiveness day is in the works within UF Student Government, but UF Parking and Transportation Services isn’t in on the plans. Student Body President Trevor Pope announced the Spring 2021 forgiveness program in his State of the Campus Address Oct. 27. He also announced a cap and gown scholarship for students this Fall 2020 graduation. “The parking ticket forgiveness day is obviously in its early phases, seeing that it’s months away,” Pope wrote in an email. “We expect progress to be made in the Spring.” Transportation and Parking Services Director Scott Fox wrote in a text message that the department hasn’t been consulted yet. “TAPS has no knowledge of this concept and no plans to implement any such program,” he wrote. Pope declined to respond to Fox’s comment. In Spring 2018, TAPS offered a ticket amnesty program where parking tickets would be forgiven in exchange for a donation to the Food and Fork Pantry, an on-campus food pantry for students and employees. Also at the State of the University speech, Pope announced that Machen Florida Opportunity Scholars, lowincome, first generation scholarship

students, graduating this semester will receive free caps and gowns from UF Student Government. The scholarship applies to the 47 UF Machen Scholars who are graduating with their bachelor’s this semester, said Erica Aguiar, assistant director of the scholarship. “This is just a good way to make sure they’re covered, not just for the actual ‘100%, I need this,’ but also for the things that are so important to the UF experience,” Aguiar said. The Machen Scholarship is offered to first-generation undergraduate students with less than $40,000 of annual family income and less than $25,000 in assets. Aguiar said that Machen seniors often can’t afford to participate in graduation along with paying for college and home costs. “I can’t tell you how many students have said, ‘Well, I’ve lost my job’ or ‘I’m helping my family pay the rent and also paying my rent in Gainesville,’” she said. UF SG will pay for the regalia with money from the student fees budget’s special projects section, which was allocated $179,698, Pope wrote. “The program is not only intended to celebrate the academic accomplishments of our students, but it also increases resources going towards students with financial insecurities,” Pope wrote in an email. UF bachelor’s regalia cost about $49 plus tax, according to the UF Bookstore. “Depending on the success of the program, we intend on expanding it to more students in the Spring of 2021,” Pope wrote. @HubbardLianna lhubbard@alligator.org

UF Teaching Center offers remote services THE CENTER HAS OPENED ITS DOORS VIRTUALLY TO STUDENTS WHO MAY NEED HELP WITH COURSEWORK

By Lucille Lannigan Alligator Contributing Writer

Due to the health risks of meeting in person during COVID-19, the UF Teaching Center has offered collaborative settings to students online. The Teaching Center, located in Broward Hall, has continued from this summer and offers remote drop-in appointments, test reviews, Q&As and scheduled private appointments, said Leesa Lloyd, an administrative support assistant at the center. The center remains closed to students and staff, but in the virtual world, any student is welcome. It hosts remote test reviews for different calculus and chemistry courses and posts the material on their website afterward, Lloyd said. This means that students are able to go back and watch the recordings as much as they would like. “I don’t think anybody was ready for this pandemic,” Lloyd said. “But I think as a whole the center has adjusted really well for that.” The center’s exam review for Chemistry 1 reached nearly 2,000 views, she said. She also said private appointments have reached the full capacity of 80 appointments a week, and they see around seven

to 10 students per day in math labs. Lloyd said that before COVID-19, they would see about 150 students in reviews, depending on the subject. She said the center plans to implement more online resources after the pandemic due to the increase in turnout at reviews. The tutoring program is still hiring students for the Fall semester but has been interviewing applicants remotely, Lloyd said. Tutors are expected to have an overall 3.5 GPA, an A in the class they are applying to tutor for and strong recommendations. However, they still face challenges, one being getting the word out to students that the center is still open. “I like to say we’re the best-kept secret on campus,” Lloyd said. “It’s a shame that more people don’t realize it.” The service relies on professors, social media and word of mouth to spread information, Lloyd said. It also partners with First Year Florida, a course that helps firstyear students transition to UF, to give virtual tours to connect students, who may not be able to go on campus, with the center. The center made the switch to virtual tours with FYF during the Summer, said Denise Dixon, administrative services specialist for the center. She said that the service is especially helpful for students who are tackling challenging math and science courses, which they have to pass for their major. “Even though we’re not in person, we’re still here to help,”

Lloyd said. Lloyd said it’s important for students to use free services like the Teaching Center, especially now. “The university is so big and especially if you start as a freshman and may not have the foundation of the best study services or you’re on your own for the first time,” Lloyd said. Hao Wang, a 20-year-old UF economics sophomore, used the center for the first time this Fall. He watched a recorded exam review from the Teaching Center to study for a Calculus 3 exam. Using both the center’s and his professor’s reviews, he was able to pass the exam. He said the center provided additional examples and sample questions for him to study. “The method they use aligns with what the teachers are teaching,” Wang said. “It’s pretty easy for me to understand.” Wang also said he felt the review covered nearly all of the exam material. He said he plans to watch the next review whenever it’s posted. Sophia Prendiville, a 19-yearold UF mathematics sophomore, appreciated that the reviews were recorded because she could review for Calculus 3 when she had time for it. “It reiterated a lot of material that was just stuff that you have to practice to really feel comfortable with,” Prendiville said. “I felt like it was pretty accurate to what was on the exam.”

Women win big in Alachua County, Florida and national politics ALACHUA COUNTY TO BE REPRESENTED BY WOMEN ON THE COUNTY COMMISSION, IN CONGRESS AND IN THE WHITE HOUSE

By Alan Halaly Alligator Staff Writer

Tuesday night’s election was historic for representation in local, state and national politics. Women now hold a majority on the Alachua County Commission, more seats in Congress nationwide and the vice-presidency. Both Democrat and Republican women won big Tuesday night in several Florida and Alachua County races. Three newly elected representatives will join other female officials who currently serve Alachua County, such as County Manager Michele Lieberman, County Attorney Sylvia Torres and Supervisor of Elections Kim Barton. Kamala Harris, who is Black and Indian American, will be the first woman and person

of color to serve as vice president. Prior to the 2020 election, women made up only 23.7% of the U.S. Congress and 29.3% of state legislatures nationwide, according to a report from Rutgers University’s Center for American Women and Politics. Congresswomen of color only filled 9% of 535 seats. Now, after Tuesday’s election, women make up 25% of the total seats in Congress as of Nov. 8, including several Black, Native American, Latinx and Muslim women. Prominent congresswomen of color reelected include Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Deb Haaland, who will be joined by congresswoman-elect Cori Bush. Kat Cammack, the 32-year-old former chief of staff for former Rep. Ted Yoho, is now the youngest Republican woman elected to serve District 3 in the U.S. House of Representatives. The district encompasses Alachua, Clay, Bradford, Union, Putnam and Marion Counties. Anna Prizzia, 43, and Mary Alford, 59, both Democrats, won seats on the Alachua

County Commission. All four county commission candidates on the November ballot were women. Prizzia and Alford will go on to comprise a new female majority on the Alachua County Commission along with District 2 County Commissioner Marihelen Wheeler. Both seats were formerly held by men. Commissioner-elect Alford said she spent most of her career in the male-dominated field of engineering, and she was often the only woman in the room. She’s hopeful that the female majority commission will address inequities in Alachua County, such as homelessness and the divide between smaller cities in the county and Gainesville. “Women are used to picking up the kid with the skinned knees or taking care of someone that’s sick,” Alford said. “I want to give everyone in our county a virtual hug, and the other women on the commission want to do the same.” Wheeler spent two years as the only woman on the commission. She said she’s excited to work with a new slate of empathetic, passionate leaders who are willing to listen to one another. “We’re going to be rocking the house,” Wheeler said. “With the pandemic, we’re going to have to be thinking as creatively as we can, and I think women do that well. We’re creative and empathetic problem-solvers.” When women are represented by other women, they may feel that their voice is heard, said Beth Rosenson, a UF political science professor. People can also feel more represented by elected officials of the same race and ethnicity. Research shows that female elected officials are more likely to be better listeners and more empathetic, Rosenson said. She referenced studies where political scientists studied hearings with female legislators. They found that women were less likely to interrupt and more willing to listen. However, Rosenson said party affiliation plays a role in perceived representation. Women also generally tend to be more liberal, she said, adding that the newly elected county commissioners could signal a shift to the left in local decision-making. “One caveat is that partisanship matters, too,” Rosenson said. “For women who aren’t Republican, descriptive representation only goes so far. Just the fact that she’s a woman alone may not make certain female voters feel

How is Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille shaping up? GATORS FANS DISCUSS STEVE SPURRIER’S FOOTBALL LEGACY

By Samantha Chery Alligator Staff Writer

Expectations rise as Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille nears kickoff. The restaurant and bar, envisioned by “Head Ball Coach” Steve Spurrier, the former Gators Heisman-winning quarterback and coach, was first announced in summer 2019, and the operating partner was declared last February. The grill geared up for a fall premiere, but due to COVID-19related construction setbacks, the multimillion-dollar project is likely to open in March or April of 2021 at 4949 Celebration Pointe Ave. “We really felt like Gainesville was a big enough city and a good enough city, of course, to have a restaurant of this size and have my

name on it.” Spurrier said. “It is a place where I can put my trophies on display, Heisman and SEC championships.” Spurrier and the rest of the executive team are in the process of finalizing the American food lineup of burgers, pastas and salads and drafting a cohesive team of waitstaff and bartenders for a winning restaurant, said Freddie Wehbe, business manager for the grill. “When you walk in, you’re gonna feel a factor of ‘Wow,’” Wehbe said. “You’re going to see contemporary design with an old school look to it.” Promises of a Spurrier memorabilia exhibit served up with a menu of some of the former football coach’s favorite dishes have whetted the appetites of some longtime Gators fans eager to experience the polished casual gridiron.

“That in itself would be worth the trip for me, to see that kind of memorabilia that might not be in the public eye,” said Tyler Hadden, a 29-year-old Jacksonville-based business analyst. The son of two UF alumni, Hadden inherited Gators pride. He often visited Gainesville as a child for football and basketball games, and he still drives down to the city several times a year. Hadden said he’s most looking forward to soaking up ‘90s Florida Gators nostalgia and drinking with friends at the rooftop bar, “Visors,” which he called a “cityesque feature,” uncommon in Gainesville. Visors is named after the coach’s signature football game headwear of choice, a breathable and moredifficult-to-dirty hat alternative that will be part of the restaurant displays. Spurrier said the rooftop bar was also his favorite touch.

more represented.” Latalyia McKnight, a 33-year-old Gainesville resident, said she feels a connection to Harris not only as a woman of color, but as a member of the same sorority: Alpha Kappa Alpha. Her nieces, who are 6 and 7, now have a woman of color in a position of power to look up to. “I feel a sense of hope again,” she said. “For every Black, brown, white, Indian and other child in the country — this is something they can look at and say ‘It’s possible.’” A first-time voter, Amy Nicholas was inspired by how many female candidates were on her ballot this year. The 19-year-old UF political science and natural resource conservation sophomore said she hopes to bring about systemic change through the local and state political sphere one day as an elected official. “In any situation that you see injustice, you have a chance to either complain or take action,” she said. “Women who are also fighting for not just female values but using their platform for all is what I truly think is inspiring beyond just females being in office.” LaRaven Temoney, a 23-year-old UF American politics doctoral student, feels hopeful because of the outcome of Alachua County’s elections. Temoney said she thinks it’s important that all elected officials reflect the identities and interests of the people they represent. “As children, we can only go by what we see and what we hear,” Temoney said. “If a child is thinking about politics and all they see are people who don’t look like them, who don’t come from where they come from, who don’t speak like them — they may feel excluded and be politically disengaged.” Although she doesn’t agree with Cammack’s views, Temoney said she applauds her ambition and commitment despite sexist attacks against her during the crowded Republican primary. When attending county commission meetings, Temoney said she’s noticed that some male commissioners are less willing to compromise and listen to other perspectives. “I’m hoping that the two new female commissioners don’t get unnecessary pushback just because they’re women,” she said. “I don’t want people to get caught up in sexist rhetoric. Instead, we should focus on policy.”

“You can look out over the interstate and all the way to the University of Florida to Century Tower and so forth,” Spurrier said. “That’d be a fun place to spend a couple hours.” Spurrier said he hopes the grill will be a comfortable place for Gators fans to watch games while enjoying quality service and dining. Kenny Wise, 45, first noticed the initial workings of Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille while on his way to The Keys Grill & Piano Bar with extended family. Wise, a pharmacist who was born and raised in Gainesville, watched the 1996 national championship game in which coach Spurrier led UF to victory over FSU. The same year, quarterback Danny Wuerffel won the coveted Heisman trophy. Wise firsthand witnessed how the former head coach transformed the team. “Florida football was kind of ho-hum until Spurrier got here,”

@AlanHalaly ahalaly@alligator.org he said. “From the year before to when Spurrier became coach, it was like night and day.” Wise said he envisions the grill and bar as a fun, open atmosphere for all UF sports fans. He doesn’t know what he’ll order, but he does know what food he doesn’t want to see on the menu: turnovers. “Nobody likes turnovers,” Wise said, jokingly referring to a term used to describe when a football team loses possession of the ball. Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille is one of the latest additions to a number of food businesses inspired by famous former football coaches, like Don Shula, Urban Meyer and fellow former Gators coach Jim McElwain. As Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille prepares for its opening in the coming months, Gators fans await their chance to reminisce on the coach’s glory days. @SammyChery4276 schery@alligator.org

Florida relaxes prison visitation restrictions to allow non-immediate family and friends THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS ALLOWED VISITATION TO RESUME OCT. 2 WITH COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS

By Asta Hemenway Alligator Staff Writer

Patricia Molinaro glanced at a giraffe painted on the wall of Lowell Correctional Institution’s visitation area in Ocala on an October Saturday morning as she prepared what to say to her daughter. When she spotted her youngest daughter, the only words that came to mind were “I love you.” Molinaro, who is 63 years old and lives in Salt Springs, couldn’t hear her daughter very well but was greeted with an air hug and a smile she hadn’t seen in six months. She isn’t a fan of the plexiglass shield that separated them, but she was glad to see her daughter’s face at a socially distanced table for a few hours. The Florida Department of Corrections suspended visitations for all state correctional institutions March 11 after Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency following the worsening COVID-19 pandemic. After a six month closure, visitation reopened Oct. 2 — despite prisons being a hotspot for the virus. All contact during visitation is banned — including hugging, kissing, holding hands and even sitting beside a loved one without a divider. No walk-in visits are allowed. FDC suggests scheduling appointments on its online visitation request form. Once inside the visitation room, inmates sit across from their visitors separated by a plastic divider. Visitors can bring along one non-immediate family member or personal friend for a threehour visit on a weekend, as of Oct. 27 according to a FDC Facebook post. While there isn’t a maximum age limit, children younger than 12 aren’t allowed to visit out of worry they would disrupt social distancing rules. Visitors must wear face masks, wash

their hands or use sanitizer and pass a health screening, including a temperature check, upon entering, according to FDC’s rules. Only inmates who aren’t considered to have health risks are eligible for visitation. Lowell, about 30 miles south of Gainesville, where Molinaro’s daughter is serving her sentence, has had two inmate COVID-19-related deaths, according to data from the Florida Department of Health. Lowell had 1,005 positive inmate tests and 74 positive staff tests as of Sunday, according to data from FDC. Columbia Correctional Institution, which had 1,369 positive tests, and Lowell are the only Florida prisons to have over 1,000 positive tests. Other prisons like Putnam and Lawtey have no positive inmate tests. Visitation restrictions are reasonable as COVID-19 precautions, UF law professor Bob Dekle said. FDC is doing the best it can in his eyes to maintain security, protect prisoners and allow visitation. “Not being able to hold hands is not real high on the spectrum of things to be unhappy about,” Dekle said. “If it’s reasonable for a nursing home or hospital, why isn’t it reasonable for a prison?” These restrictions are essential to the safety of inmates, guards and visitors, he said. If visitors had to wear something extreme like hazmat suits and come between midnight and 1 a.m., then he said he would oppose the restrictions. To Dekle, visitation is important for inmates to secure their connection to the outside world. Molinaro has visited her daughter at Lowell twice since prisons reopened in October. She said she was among the first people to enter the visitation room on Oct. 3 and visited again Oct. 24. She now wakes up on Mondays at 5 a.m. to secure a Saturday morning spot to see her daughter at Lowell. While she can’t bring her granddaughter, who is under 12, she said her husband will tag along next time to see his stepdaughter. “Just to be able to look at each other means a lot,” Molinaro said.

Citizens Advisory Committee members usually serve a three-year term. At its December 16, 2019 meeting, the Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization for the Gainesville Urbanized Area will make five appointments to fill vacancies on its Citizens Advisory Committee. The Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization for the Gainesville Urbanized Area, composed of the Mayor and six City of Gainesville Commissioners and the five Alachua County Commissioners, is responsible for the continuing, cooperative and comprehensive transportation planning program for the Gainesville Metropolitan Area. Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, age disability, familial status, religious status, marital status, sexual orientation or gender identity. Applications and/or additional information may be obtained by writing or calling: Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization for the Gainesville Urbanized Area, 2009 NW 67 Place, Gainesville, Florida 32653; telephone 352.955.2200; or from its website at www.ncfrpc.org/mtpo. Applications must be received no later than Monday, December 2, 2019.

After emailing and calling FDC, the department declined to directly speak on the visitation restrictions. Visitation can be isolating and emotionally difficult for inmates and their visitors, said Philip Daniels, a mental health counselor at UF Counseling and Wellness Center. People will feel what they feel about the restrictions, but safety is a concern. “Isolation is difficult, but I think that was a difficult decision to make in the sense of safety,” Daniels said. Environmental factors, such as not being able to touch someone, can exacerbate mental illnesses, especially if someone is already experiencing anxiety, psychotic symptoms, depression or suicidal thoughts, he said. Daniels added that there isn’t research on inmates to determine whether the visit restrictions can directly cause a mental illness. While the FDC is restricting visitation because of safety, Florida prison decisions are never in the best interests of inmates, said Kevin Scott, an organizer with Florida Prisoner Solidarity who served four years in prison. “While I’m sure they’re gonna point to some scientific stuff,” Scott said, “I’m suspicious of everything they do, so I can just assume that they’re going to use this, spin the virus to their own advantage to serve their own interests because that’s all they’ve ever shown me.” To Scott, visitations are breaks from the constant dehumanization inmates feel while incarcerated. He said the first time he was hugged was after six months was indescribable. “The visits that I had when I was in prison were the things that carried me through my sentence,” he said. “It was absolutely crucial to my psychological state, to my emotions — everything.” Scott said he can’t imagine how difficult visitation must be for those incarcerated during the pandemic. It can be tortuous and agonizing even though inmates get to see their loved ones. “Holy s---, you can’t hug them?” he said. “That’s rough.” While state prisons recently reopened

visitation, the Alachua County Jail reopened May 18. Visits were closed March 13, but inmates were allowed two free outgoing phone calls for the following 30 days, administrative supervisor Chris Whatley said. The visitation schedule hasn’t changed, Whatley said. All inmate visits must be scheduled a day before through the scheduling website or kiosks in the jail’s lobby. Inmates who aren’t in disciplinary confinement can have visitation each week for up to two hours of no contact. Visitation is almost the same as before COVID-19, he said, but there are some restrictions. Only three people can go in the lobby at the same time, he said. Visitors must wait outside until called in. Face masks are required. Like before the pandemic, inmates are separated from visitors by glass, Whatley said. They use phones to speak when face-to-face. Some visits can be done online through Renovo Software digital video system, which was purchased in 2014. Video calls must also be scheduled a day in advance. People visiting online can pay $4 for a 10-minute video call or $10 for a 25-minute video call. Whatley said he hasn’t heard any negative comments about changing visitation. “A lot of places didn’t have it until Oct. 2, so that goes to show you that Alachua County has made it a priority,” he said. “Inmates need visitation.” As a mother of someone in prison, Molinaro agrees that visits are important. Prison visits reopening is a “win-win situation” because closing visitation was hard on everyone, she said, adding that inmates are forgotten, and we need to remember they’re human. “Because there she was, and the smile on her face was just so incredible,” she said. “And it was beautiful. It was wonderful.” @astahemenway ahemenway@alligator.org

Editorial

Biden’s victory shows us that normalcy triumphs chaos

lachua County voted for the winner. Florida voted for the sore loser. To many of us, the results of the election were bittersweet. The country voted for change, but Florida missed the mark. Alachua County is a speck of blue in a massive ocean of red. Young people will have to live with the results of this election. It is frustrating to see our voices overshadowed in a state where so much has been done to mobilize the youth vote. Although we won the war, the battles we lost are cause for concern. The U.S. proved it is ready to change the xenophobic rhetoric of the last four years. Yet our area voted for Kat Cammack, a local champion of the same ideas as the outgoing president. North Central Florida was not aligned with the country’s overall plea for change. But still, we will finally have a president who will acknowledge issues such as climate change and the ongoing pandemic. It is our hope that Biden will engage with the international community and bring the U.S. back into the Paris Climate Agreement, eliminating the vision of our home state underwater within our lifetimes. It is our hope that Biden will take the reins when it comes to stopping this pandemic. Listening to scientists and passing another COVID-19 relief bill will help struggling Americans, including those within our community. Thousands of Floridians, including many of our family members, have died due to the political mishandling of this pandemic. It is our hope that Biden will address the $1.5 trillion student debt crisis. Little attention has been paid on that front over the last four years. Biden can ease the burden on millions of Americans that also rests on the backs of those who graduate from UF. It is easy for a young person to feel frustrated with a system that only occasionally listens to youth voices. However, the passage of Amendment 2, which will bring a $15 dollar minimum wage to Florida by 2026, serves as a silver lining: a reminder that the youth vote mattered. Amendment 2 passed the 60% threshold by less than a percent, as of Saturday afternoon. In this case, about 85,000 votes made the difference. In Alachua County, 89,277 people out of 138,650 people voted for the amendment. Given that young people overwhelmingly voted blue, one can easily see how Amendment 2 would not have passed without the votes of a group that was silenced by the Electoral College. Our country elected a progressive president in large part thanks to young people. Our state got a progressive minimum wage, also in large part thanks to young people. But our state representatives don’t represent our values. The arch of the moral universe bends ever so slowly back toward justice, but Florida still has work to do.

I’m an instructor. Here’s what you should know about in-person classes

ear UF Students, When I finish teaching my Zoom classes, I check my attendance, I read each student’s name and I worry about them. I worry because I hear my students talking about next semester. Some of them are freshmen, and they’re excited to finally move to Gainesville. Others, upperclassmen, may look forward to being in seminar classes again. Some students believe that our return to campus will give them a better learning experience. UF has tried to convince us that it has students’ best interests in mind as we return. I worry because UF is lying to students, and there’s nothing that instructors like me can do about it. Students, you deserve to know the truth, and UF has failed to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about your studies before it’s too late. Many of you are looking for spring leases. Many of you are planning to celebrate milestone events and rejoin student organizations in Gainesville. So, what do you need to know? First, most students won’t return to campus. With classroom capacities capped but a directive from our state government to have the same number of in-person sections, UF is relying on a model of teaching called “HyFlex.” The “HyFlex” model of teaching means that in smaller classes up to 40 students, there will be a single digit number of students physically in the classroom. Awkward, I know. The rest of the students will watch the lesson from a webcam. Instructors will teach two classes (one online section, one face-to-face) without being paid for the double workload. Because your instructors will be doubly as busy, you will likely receive less personal attention and feedback from those instructors. Which students will be in the classroom? Likely, international students or honors students will be given these in-person spots. Other students may not have the choice to opt-in for face-to-face classes, even if they wanted to. The rest of you will have to pay extra distance learning fees just to watch the lecture from home. Second, the university has promised that all classrooms will be cleaned and well-ventilated. This is another lie. While UF has installed hand sanitizer units throughout academic buildings, administrators have not stated how these classrooms and desks will actually be cleaned. Many classrooms, such as some of those in Turlington and Matherly, don’t have windows or other adequate ventilation options. As numerous health professionals and journalists have noted, environments without windows or strong ventilation are dangerous. The virus sits stagnant in the air.

Third, UF has boasted about the quality of its HyFlex classes. I have taught for almost seven years, and I have a professional interest in instructional technologies. UF may promise that each classroom will be equipped with the technology to host a HyFlex class, but this is (ding, ding, ding) another lie. UF has not yet trained instructors like me on how to use this technology. Many of us are planning our courses for next semester without knowing any details about how to operate a HyFlex class. To our knowledge, UF has not purchased this technology yet. We haven’t seen it, and we have no clue when — or even if — the university will actually install webcams and microphones in each classroom. We are not being reimbursed for buying our own technology to teach. Most classrooms at UF are simply not optimized for online teaching. Think about it, students. Imagine how many times you’ve been kicked off Eduroam or the guest network or how many times you’ve struggled with the library VPN. UF cannot maintain the technology it currently has. Fourth, UF has said that students, staff and faculty want to return to campus. However, UF never released a universitywide poll to ask students what they want before President Fuchs announced this transition to have face-to-face classes. UF has not grappled with the reality that the students I care about, the students I see every day, will get sick. The university has not asked instructors or staff if they want to return, either. Instructors have no choice. One of my colleagues is regularly exposed to the virus because her spouse works with COVID-19 patients in a hospital. She isn’t exempt from teaching in-person. Other colleagues are caring for parents with cancer. They, too, are being forced to teach in-person, forced to put their family members (and you, students) at risk. To my knowledge, most instructors who have requested COVID-related accommodations under the ADA have been denied. UF has tried to convince us that we, the Gator community, want to have face-to-face classes. This is perhaps the most disgusting lie of all. You deserve to be in the know, students. Some of this information will likely change if the virus peaks again, if the university encounters other funding issues or if UF is shamed into rethinking its reopening plan. Ask administrators what your learning situation will be like next semester. Question your dean about why UF is not being transparent. Gators, we deserve better. And that’s no lie. The author is a doctoral student who currently teaches at UF.

What a contact tracer wants you to know

he COVID-19 pandemic has largely disrupted our lives and has required us to adapt to these historic and ever-changing times. I have a special understanding of this. I am a contact tracer with UF Health Screen, Test & Protect, so I see this pandemic from a perspective many others do not. While navigating this uncharted territory can be daunting, public health officials are working around the clock to slow the spread of the virus and ensure the safety of the population. Contact tracing, a time-honored and highly reliable practice, is at the heart of this effort through directly conducting investigations and providing up-to-date information and education to the public. Here are a few things that my colleagues and I would like you to know: You should get tested if you have symptoms or have been exposed.

This helps us identify and contact you as soon as possible to gather information that will help slow the spread of the virus in your community. Although discovering that you are positive can be unsettling, it also means you will not need to be tested or quarantined if you have another exposure within the next 90 days due to short-term immunity from the initial infection. All positive test results for reportable diseases, including COVID-19, are required to be sent to the health department.

All laboratories send these results to the appropriate health department, regardless of where the test is done. Once we receive these results, we are required to contact you.

All information shared with us remains confidential.

We will ask you a variety of questions to help us to better understand the disease and help us slow the spread by reaching out to individuals who may have been in contact with positive cases during their potential infectious period. It is important because we will then reach out to these contacts as soon as possible to alert them of the potential exposure and ask them to quarantine in an effort to prevent further potential infections. This information is fully protected by health privacy laws and will never be shared with anyone outside of the officials handling your investigation. Your name will also not be shared with any potential contacts without your permission. If you were in contact with a positive case during their infectious period and test negative during your quarantine period, you still need to quarantine.

While this may seem counterintuitive, this protocol is in place due to the incubation period of the virus. When a person is exposed to the virus, they may develop an infection anywhere between two and 14 days post-exposure. This means you can potentially test negative on day five but then begin experiencing symptoms and test positive on day seven. While answering our questions and providing information can be uncomfortable, it is extremely important. Our efforts are only successful with accurate and timely information. You play a key role in helping us to combat this pandemic. We can’t do it without you. Emily Klann has her master’s in public health and is a third-year doctoral student in the Department of Epidemiology. She is currently working part-time as an epidemiologist for the UF Screen, Test & Protect program.

A look at Gainesville’s hip-hop community FIVE ARTISTS DISCUSS MAKING MUSIC IN ONE OF GAINESVILLE’S EMERGING GENRES

By Marlena Carrillo Avenue Staff Writer

When hip-hop artist Quincy Osborne, known musically as itsQObaby, played open-mic shows in Tampa, people he met thought he was local. When he told them he was from Gainesville, those connections immediately fizzled. The 32-year-old Gainesville native has been writing songs since he was 8 but began writing professionally three years ago. He said entering the hip-hop community opened his eyes to a side of the city he had yet to see. “I didn’t really feel like Gainesville was the spot,” Osborne said. “I wasn’t even paying attention to it. Now, I feel like we

should build it from the ground up.” Osborne is one of many hip-hop artists breaking barriers in Gainesville’s music community. Local names like Azazus, DJ Mellow Blendz, Edgar Brann and more have grown in popularity as the artists hustle to expose their platform to the world. DJ Mellow Blendz, also known as Anthony Showell, has lived in Gainesville for nine years. As a veteran DJ, he said he often volunteers his help to aspiring artists, sometimes DJing for free to support local venues and businesses. “I like to inspire the next generation the way I was,” Showell said. “I like to consider myself that charity go-to guy.” In Gainesville, the hip-hop community faces particular challenges. Hailing from a city that has churned out successful rock and alternative bands like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Against Me!, Less Than Jake

and Sister Hazel, the genre faces the risk of being overshadowed by its more mainstream counterparts. For Gainesville musician Brandon Register, known professionally as Edgar Brann, the disconnect between local hiphop music and listeners stems from the lyrical content found in the genre. He said relatability also contributes to the disparity between rock and indie listeners and hip-hop listeners. “These indie bands who are talented because they’re playing instruments, they’re normally not speaking upon stuff like that,” Register said. Rapper Brian Williams, known professionally as thepsychogen, also tries to incorporate these relevant issues in his content. Williams said rap and hip-hop face ridicule when the line between the two genres is blurred.

“Hip-hop is oversaturated,” Williams said. “These artists need to get more involved with community projects and showcasing their other talents. Show them they’re not just a rapper.” R&B artist Kelsea Martinez said being a woman in the industry makes finding a foothold in hip-hop even tougher. While currently located in Jacksonville, Martinez made music in Gainesville for four years while attending Santa Fe College. “Something about being a female artist in a hip-hop world makes people think that you’re not going to be as good or that you’re going to rap about something that has to do with your body,” Martinez said. Regardless of gender, Martinez said any young artist can benefit from the hip-hop community found in Gainesville. She said the obstacles persevere as well. “It’s a good thing I like a challenge,” Martinez said. @marcar313 mcarrillo@alligator.org

UF suffers sixth-consecutive loss against Missouri in regular-season finale By Bryan Matamoros Sports Writer

The keepers took center stage against a dark and windy backdrop in Florida’s regularseason finale at Missouri. UF’s Alexa Goldberg made her first career start, and Mizzou’s Sophia Worth made her collegiate debut Sunday afternoon as the Gators fell 5-2 to the Tigers at Audrey J.

Walton Soccer Stadium. The result extended Florida’s all-time record for consecutive losses to six. With the Gators stuck in 13th place out of 14 teams in the SEC overall standings, they had no chance to move further up the table and avoid the opening round of the conference tournament. Therefore, coach Becky Burleigh decided to rest redshirt senior Susi Espinoza. Espinoza has been the first-choice keeper

Gators head coach Becky Burleigh made her return to in-person coaching this weekend when Florida played Kentucky on Friday and Missouri on Sunday. UF dropped both outof-town games. Quarterback Kyle Trask became the first UF quarterback to throw four touchdown passes in five consecutive games. Trask was also eight yards away from breaking Tim Tebow’s single-game passing yards record at UF.

the entire year, having started in each of UF’s previous seven games. This time, though, it was Goldberg between the sticks against Missouri. Donning Florida’s all-pink keeper kit and a pair of blacked-out gloves, Goldberg managed six saves but allowed five goals to a relentless Mizzou attack highlighted by midfielders Cassidy Nurnberger and Bella Alessi. Nurnberger and Alessi scored two goals apiece for the Tigers after UF’s Parker Roberts headed the ball into her own net in the eighth minute to tie the game at 1-1. Goldberg’s inexperience at the collegiate level was evident throughout the afternoon. The first-year keeper hesitated to come off her line and gave the ball away on multiple occasions trying to play out of the back. Worth, on the other hand, put together an inspiring performance in the Missouri net. Coach Bryan Blitz, who was already without starting keeper Isabella Alessio, turned to Worth in the 10th minute after backup McKenna Sheehan left the game following a collision with UF forward Madison Alexander. In just over 80 minutes of action, Worth

Gators move up to No. 6 on the AP Poll

After defeating the Georgia Bulldogs, UF moved from No. 8 to No. 6 on the AP Poll on Sunday. The Gators sit right below Texas A&M, who defeated them earlier in the year, and they sent UGA down to 12th.

made eight saves and conceded only once. Mizzou’s freshman shot-stopper looked more comfortable than her counterpart in Goldberg, commanding her back line from the moment she stepped onto the pitch. When UF midfielder Nicole Vernis found the back of the net against Sheehan just four minutes into the contest, it seemed as if the Gators were in store for a productive day offensively. However, Worth’s presence in the 18-yard box proved the difference-maker, as Florida scored just one goal the rest of the way to end a forgettable regular season. “As much as this one hurt, we are going to have to find a way to get past it and draw a line under it,” Burleigh said in a release after the defeat. “It will be up to us to find our way back to a winning mentality, and it will take all of us together to do it.” The 13th-seeded Gators will return to action Friday night against 12th-seeded Kentucky in the opening round of the SEC Tournament.

UGA QBs were 9 for 29 FOOTBALL, from pg. 1 of the season. But none of those touchdown passes from Trask or that rushing touchdown from Pierce happened in the second half. In fact, Florida managed just six points in the second half thanks to the foot of Evan McPherson (though it would have been nine had he not missed one). This stagnating offense allowed Georgia multiple chances to catch up to UF in the third and fourth quarters of the game, and if the Bulldogs’ offense hadn’t been so anemic, it might have come back to bite them. That was uncharacteristic of this Florida team. Prior to this game, UF averaged 20.5 points in the second half, but this contest alone brought that average down to 17.6. A probable contributor is the absence of tight end Kyle Pitts after a particularly nasty hit in the second quarter. Tight end Kemore Gamble stepped up for a TD a few plays after, but the absence of who many consider to be the best tight end in the nation could be a factor in why the offense was so slow out of the gates in the second half. “At the end of the day we came out, I feel like we executed on what our coaches told us to do,” receiver Trevon Grimes said after the game. “A lot of it was the time management and getting the ball in the right spots. And, you know, at the end of the day things work out and things don’t, but we came out with a win.” Championship-caliber teams have to be able to keep the same pace through four quarters. The

offense should be proud of what it accomplished in the first half, but in Grimes’ own words, things may not work out for much longer if the team begins struggling to put games away.

So, your defense is improving… …How long will it continue to do so? Last week, Florida’s defense had a stellar game against Missouri. This week, after a particularly rough patch where the Gators found themselves down 14-0 in the first quarter, the defense answered by not only giving up as many points for the remaining three quarters but netting three interceptions to boot. “It was something going into the game that we said we were going to do, and we did it,” cornerback Kaiir Elam said after the game. “Our goal was to get three, and we accomplished it. So it was real big.” For the second week in a row, the same defense that struggled at the beginning of the year turned in a very good performance, though its competition may have had something to do with it. Georgia’s quarterback play prior to meeting Florida hadn’t been stellar. Before this game, starting quarterback Stetson Bennett had seven touchdowns to five interceptions and 878 total passing yards. D’Wan Mathis, who came in as relief for Bennett after he finished the game 5 for 17, hadn’t dazzled in his only appearance before this game against Arkansas, either. Credit is earned where credit

Florida beat Georgia for the first time since 2016 on Saturday 44-28. is due, though. Georgia is notoriously a run-first team, but it didn’t have a running back that rushed over seven times on Saturday (Zamir White was a 100-yard rusher, but that’s mostly due to the fact that his first rush was a 75-yard touchdown). UGA only had a single rushing touchdown on the day, and that is certainly due to the effort of the defense forcing the Bulldogs to move away from their strength and start to throw the ball toward the end of the game.

It seems as if defensive coordinator Todd Grantham’s unit has found its groove at least to some degree, and UF’s next few opponents — Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Tennessee — aren’t exactly known for their electrifying offenses. If Florida continues its trend of strong defensive play, it can look forward to a potential SEC Championship bid at the end of the year. That possible momentum from the end of the regular season

could be key. Because a team like Alabama will absolutely have an electrifying offense, and they are very likely to be who UF meets in the SEC Championship, should they make it. And if the Gators want to beat a team like that, they will need to make sure the defense of games past doesn’t rear its head again this year.
