FROM THE EDITOR We’re playing RIGHT INTO his hands

DESANTIS’

TRUMP WHISTLE

4 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | SEPTEMBER 5-11, 2018

LAST WEEK WEEK, JAWS DROPPED WHEN FRESHLY FRESHLYanointed Republican gubernatorial primary victor Ron DeSantis took to Fox News to warn voters not to “monkey this up” and elect “articulate” Andrew Gillum who “performed well” in debates. A bum rush ensued to deem his statement a “racist dog whistle”—as it is. There’s no denying that referring to monkeys when speaking of black people appeals to racists.

So abhorrent was his comment that it made national news bigly, all but crowding out the incredible come-from-behind primary win by under-funded Gillum against a pack of wealthy, establishment Democrats. The fact that come November, Florida could elect not only its first black governor, but a liberal with a capital ‘L’, for the first time, gosh, ever, got relegated to also-happened.

This is a great strategy if we want Ron DeSantis to be the next governor of Florida.

Reach into the way back machine of your memory and recall the 2016 presidential campaign.

When Donald Trump won the Republican presidential primary, Democrats celebrated, even laughed. No way, they said, could a verbally incontinent lunatic with zero experience best a born-and-bred stateswoman with serious bona fides. This smug certainty spread with every mockery of a disabled reporter, “grab them by the p*ssy” tape, and incitement of violence at his campaign rallies, which felt something like roadside carnival versions of ’50s America.

There was a pattern to the campaign: Trump would say or do something shocking, stupid, blatantly false and/or racist. The media would explode with pearl-clutching and condemnation, playing the clip over and over to give every pancake-makeup-faced pundit a chance to sink their fangs in; meanwhile, his supporters were eating it up like the red meat it was. Plus they were getting increasingly irate at the piling-on of negative press over what, in some cases, wasn’t much of a much.

As I took in the avalanche of “monkey this up” tweets and newscasts, I recalled the woman who called me crying a day or two after Trump’s election. She blamed me for the outcome, saying my calling Trump “Cheeto Hitler” a week prior had convinced people to vote for him. Now, I don’t flatter myself into believing that an op-ed by an altweekly editor could possibly sway a national election, but she was right; I helped Trump become president.

So did CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post—basically every major media outlet, plus the vast majority of the local

ones. We gave Trump a platform and he used it, and us, to win. Sure, we were technically doing our job by pointing out the awful things he was saying and doing, but the unnecessary constancy and feverish rabidity convinced a whole hell of a lot of people to vote for Trump, whom they viewed as an underdog unfairly maligned by the liberal elite. Hillary Clinton’s inept campaign had a lot to do with it, of course, but much of Trump’s ground game was supplied by the media.

This is not to say that DeSantis’ statement doesn’t deserve to be condemned and covered.

But the more we ratchet up into a frenzy that blocks out all else, the less we are covering real stories, and the more we are helping his campaign. If Trump has taught us anything, it should be this.

Citizens do need to know when Ron DeSantis says or does something horrible. But they likewise need to know that he proposed legislation to defund the Mueller investigation in August 2017. Since then, there have been 32 indictments in Mueller’s probe, including 26 Russians and four former Trump campaign staffers. Yet even today, DeSantis doesn’t believe the Trump campaign conspired with the Russians.

It’s important that people know when a candidate says something appalling. I submit it is also important they know that DeSantis has spoken against football players kneeling the anthem to protest police brutality.

I’m sure everyone reading this knows DeSantis is a Trump sycophant. But do they also know he’s pledged to sign a bill banning abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, at roughly six to eight weeks of pregnancy? And that he wants more guns in schools?

Rather than the shock of the day and little else, voters should be informed that the American Conservative Union ranks DeSantis as “the most conservative member of Congress in Florida.” Out of a possible 100, his lifetime rating is 99.17, nearly 20 points higher than John McCain’s; in 2017, he was 26 points more conservative than Mitch McConnell and 20 points more than John Rutherford. He’s also essentially vowed to pack the state Supreme Court with far-right extremists whose views will be a far cry from most who live in this diverse, purply-blue state.

Racist dog whistles are worth reporting; speak of such as you must. But when you do, think of the dogs who will trot obediently to the polling booth every time they hear that signal, no matter whose mouth it comes from.

THE MAIL BUTTERFLY EFFECT

RE.: “Stepmother of Butterflies,” by Dawn Hudson, Aug. 22 THANK YOU FOR THE ARTICLE ON MONARCH milkweed. We didn’t know that the monarch was an endangered species along with honeybees, so I ordered some free seeds online and made a donation to the Live Monarch Foundation. The reason for the importance of our pollinators in this world is obvious and can’t be stressed enough.

ANOTHER IDEA

RE: “Lynch Pin,” by Claire Goforth, July 18 WHAT KIND OF DARK MIND THINKS LYNCHING IS A thing to memorialize in a city? OK, in the Alabama museum for that purpose, but a bad idea for Jacksonville. Did the lynchings happen? Yes. Are they acts we need to publicly shame and memorialize 90 years later? No. In that line of reasoning, why not memorialize all those Timucua the Spanish murdered because they wouldn’t accept Jesus? Or the poor souls killed by drunk or bad drivers? How about a pile of handguns representing the unrelenting murders that are the current cancer in Duval’s belly? Weld on another handgun or knife with each new murder, and at a rate of about 140 murders a year, it will soon cover Hemming Park. (This city’s leaders should display some guts and halve the murder rate–at least–before they spend a dime on anything else.)

Folio Weekly, how about leading with something positive? Think Statue of Liberty, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Pyramids, the Space Needle even.

How about a monument to Duval County teachers? A mixed-race community dinner? Some cool fountain that nods to the river, creeks, lakes and ocean that give this place character? I’d take a statue of a bass dancing with a kingfish over a lynching memorial.

The residents of this city need some inspiration, encouragement, something really positive. If you can’t come up with something better than memorializing murder, how about a big honking football? That seems to be about the only thing most everyone in this city

is capable of getting together to support. And if we included, say, a swoosh logo on the ball, I bet Nike would pay for it. So you get a freebie memorial, which seems to be a motivating factor in your yearning for the hideous lynching symbol.

READERS REACT TO “MORE TREASON PLEASE,”

by Bart Welling, Aug. 15

REASON IS TREASON

TREASON IS GOOD! TRUTH ISN’T TRUTH! DON’T believe what you see and read. This op-ed makes it perfectly clear how Dear Leader Trump (working with Kim Jong Un and a shirtless Putin) will save us all from the perils of liberty and freedom. замечательно!

THE QUIET ONE

MY WORD, HOW SCATTERED, ALL OVER THE MAP. IS Mr. Welling the “ whiner” the “true American patriot”?

Or a Ph.D.-holding associate professor who simply cannot hear enough of his dreadfully clever self? Blah, snore, oh, be quiet, please, pleaded the reader.

BRICKBATS + BOUQUETS BRICKBATS TO THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE Days after the tragic mass shooting at The Jacksonville Landing, the T-U reports that city inspectors responded to a question about maximum capacity by issuing a “cease and desist” to the business, Chicago Pizza and GLHF, for violating the fire code and blaming it for the shooting.

BOUQUETS TO THE TRUSTEES OF FSCJ A reader writes, “Milt Russos, the DeCicco twins [Erik and Aaron], and all others involved with their success of the past several Annual High School Musical Theatre Experiences and in particular their recent presentation of Young Frankenstein the musical (or is that ‘Stine’?). Thank you FSCJ for bringing us current Broadway instead of the crusty old classics!”

BRICKBATS TO RON DESANTIS The day after he won the Republican gubernatorial primary, DeSantis warned voters not to “monkey this up” by voting for Democratic nominee Andrew Gillum. Gillum is black.

FOLIO VOICES : FIGHTIN’ WORDS

REVOLUTIONARY ROAD Jax Pols had better get used to the ACTIVIST LEFT

8 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | SEPTEMBER 5-11, 2018

LAST TUESDAY, FLORIDA DEMOCRATS VOTED UP what could be the most interesting slate of candidates it has fielded in the modern era.

For Attorney General, Sean Shaw, a state representative from the Tampa area whose dad was once on the Florida Supreme Court.

If you’re looking for an alternative to Pam Bondi and her political progeny, Judge Ashley Moody, Shaw offers it.

For Agriculture Commissioner, Nikki Fried, a cannabis industry lobbyist who, as I wrote here the other week, has a future beyond this race.

I interviewed Fried a few weeks back, and her understanding of the cannabis industry and the Ag Commissioner’s potential role in destigmatizing adult-use product was obvious.

She also represents a sharp break from the Adam Putnam era when it comes to the consumer services part of the job.

Jeremy Ring, a former South Florida state senator running for Chief Financial Officer, is blunt and understands that Florida needs to create jobs that pay a living wage. He represents a drastic difference with incumbent Rick Scott appointee Jimmy Patronis.

All strong candidates. All of them addressing the issues our readers face in a state where you can work 60 hours a week but still be behind, a state with a robust carceral industry apparatus, and where all the talk is freedom but, beyond gun rights, there isn’t all that much of it.

And then there’s Andrew Gillum.

The thing about the Gillum campaign was that for months and months it didn’t seem exactly viable. TV wasn’t covering him, the establishment pols weren’t endorsing, and he’d tend to give variants of the same aspirational speech.

I noticed a real change a week before the primary, when he spoke to a packed house at 1904 Music Hall. His bus pulled up late (he had been meeting with preachers at a previous stop).

Candidates love these bus tours. That stop was the only one I saw this cycle where the candidate couldn’t get off his bus before being greeted by people who weren’t just leaning toward voting for him, they loved him.

That love heated up an already August-hot 1904. Onstage, he looked like a headliner as much as a politician: a commanding presence, because he knew his crowd was feeling him in the homestretch.

“I walk it like I talk it,” Gillum said (quoting Migos). “Some of my opponents don’t.”

It felt like a winning campaign.

Gillum going over made Republicans smile (our own mayor tweeted out a smiley

face). But his formula was a simple one.

He knew that if he could solve the money problem (which left-wing billionaires Tom Steyer and George Soros did), he could reach “unlikely voters.”

The guy in the White House did that in 2016, but a much different subset thereof.

Democrats offer a choice, not an echo, this time out. And a big part of that is outside groups taking a Democratic Party ravaged by infighting and unifying it behind the best personal communicator I’ve ever seen in politics.

Locally, Gillum cleaned up—over 50 percent, despite Graham and Levine both playing hard here. Those “unlikely voters” are now likely. They want to see weed legalized.

They want to protect women’s rights and restore civil rights to those divested of them by the leviathan carceral state. They want to have laws that are tailored more to their street than Adams Street.

Can Gillum win? There’s a lot of ball to play, including what could be an FBI October Surprise in the Tallahassee City Hall investigation (a flurry of alleged influencepeddling that thus far hasn’t seen Gillum named as a target). Trouble for GOP is that the president has clowned the FBI and Justice Department for years, and well, that impeaches their credibility just a bit.

But even if Gillum doesn’t win, his ideas will. If DeSantis goes over, do you imagine these newly-energized left-wing troops are going away? No, they will redouble efforts just in time for city elections. And they don’t care much what the donors have to say about it.

Our pols don’t know what to do with the energy. They shut down City Council public comment last week, a protest after a floor vote to allow speakers to question individual councilors went down, as those bills Garrett Dennis and Anna Brosche push always seem to do.

There is a yawning gap between the vision of the billionaires and the people who live here in the half of the city that looks like everything was built 50 years ago and left in ‘set it and forget it’ mode since.

“Let the people speak”: that was the Christian Right’s rallying cry when they wanted a referendum on HRO expansion.

That call is back. It won’t go away until it is heeded, and that means we’re going to hear it for the next few elections—at least.

NEWS AAND NOTES: BUMMER EDITION

TOP HEADLINES FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF ALTERNATIVE NEWSMEDIA

< AN AMERICAN COUP

In 1896, 87 percent of eligible black people (that’s men only, btw) in Wilmington, North Carolina voted, forming one of the first mixedrace municipal governments in the nation, according to Intelligence Report, Southern Poverty Law Center’s quarterly. Two years later, white supremacists openly urged people to “vote race, not politics.” A local paper joined the effort, running stories of “real and imagined” conflicts between the races, much of which centered on the falsity that black men posed a danger to white women.

The editor of black-owned local pub The Daily Record, Alex Manly, fired back in an editorial on Aug. 18, 1898, writing, “If the papers and speakers of the other race would condemn the commission of crime because it is crime and not try to make it appear that the Negroes were the only criminals, they would find their strongest allies in the intelligent Negroes themselves; and together the whites and blacks would root the evil out of both races.” He also pointed out that love knows no race and continued in this misogynistic thread, “We suggest that the whites guard their women more closely,” Manly wrote, “… thus giving no opportunity for the human fiend, be he white or black. You leave your goods out of doors and then complain because they are taken away.” This line drove the white supremacists wild.

“They would use the myth of needing to protect the purity of white womanhood, and their outrage that Manly would dare use The Daily Record to challenge them in such a way, to rouse the rabble,” IR writes.

Two days after the election, white supremacists led by former Confederate soldier and U.S. Congressman Alfred Moore Waddell stormed the town, burning The Daily Record to the ground and continuing a swath of death and destruction that left as many as 250 black people dead.

Thereafter, Waddell declared himself mayor, installed a government comprising his conspirators, and rewrote history. IR states, “The day after the massacre, the local newspaper The Morning Star proclaimed on its front page, ‘Bloody Conflict with Negroes. White Men Forced to Take Up Arms for the Preservation of Law and Order. Blacks Provoke Trouble.’” The incident also led to suppression of the black vote.

Today, North Carolina is actively working to correct the errors in the historic record and honor the victims of the only American coup d’état.

< DISTURBING AUTHENTICITY

According to Minneapolis’ City Pages, the Minnesota Renaissance Festival is a more accurate depiction of the era than most would like.

CP reports that manager and longtime performer Carl Hagerman has been charged with raping a woman at last year’s event. Current employees further told CP that Carr has a longtime history of sexual harassment. (He declined comment through his attorney.) Other women said that sexual harassment is de rigueur at the festival, run by Mid-America Festival.

< COAL HEARTED

Trump’s solar tariffs have impacted Oregon’s solar industry in various ways, reports Eugene Weekly. SolarWorld Industries America celebrates the tariffs for making their products more economically competitive; solar manufacturer and distributor Grape Solar derides them as harmful to their business.

In the case of SolarWorld, “a co-petitioner in a case that led to Trump’s 30 percent tariffs on solar firms in China,” the tariffs give them a chance to challenge their Chinese competitors. For Grape Solar, on the other hand, the added cost of imported solar cells and modules makes it more difficult to compete. Some view these protectionist policies as a way to help an industry grow—but such policies typically hurt small businesses the most. Worse yet, these tariffs put a damper on clean energy, making it less competitive with dirty energy.

< THE VOICE GOES SILENT

Aug. 31 was a day of mourning in the altweekly universe. A year after discontinuing its print product and going online-only, The Village Voice, founded in 1955 and from whence we all sprung, announced it was ceasing operations.

VV owner Peter Barbey released a statement, saying in part, “In recent years, the Voice has been subject to the increasingly harsh economic realties facing those creating journalism and written media.

Like many others in publishing, we were continually optimistic that relief was around the next corner. Where stability for our business is, we do not know yet. The only thing that is clear now is that we have not reached that destination.”

There is a chance, albeit slim, that a buyer will emerge to resurrect VV from the ashes. One can only hope. Viva la Voice!

FOLIO VOICES : E PLURIBUS JAX

A CLASSROOM CALLED

AMERICA

GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP at San Jose Elementary ON WORLD OF NATIONS DAY EACH MAY AT SAN JOSE Elementary School, each classroom adopts one of the 20 nations represented by the school’s student population, and students bring their passports from one country to another. In just one day, students might travel through Burma, Sudan, Syria, Thailand, Ukraine, Iraq and China, playing traditional

games, celebrating the colorful attire of the Middle and Far East, Eastern Europe, and Africa.

“These children make me feel hopeful,” says Principal Paula Smith. “Sometimes when kids are new, Spanish-speaking or Arabicspeaking kids might stick together, but when they feel more comfortable, they acclimate themselves to children from other places.

They work together.”

Not only does Smith see a true rainbow coalition in the 840 kids who attend San Jose Elementary School, students with backgrounds in at least 13 different languages, but she witnesses daily the incredible adaptability and curiosity of the brains of young children.

San Jose offers both an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) program and a Dual Language program that teaches content equally in both English and Spanish.

Some students even work through both programs. One Vietnamese child started in ESOL and once she’d become fluent in English, entered San Jose’s Dual Language program. Though still in elementary school, she’s already trilingual.

When Smith was new to the school four years ago, ESOL classes were “sheltered,” kept separate from students who were native speakers of English. Smith restructured the classes to blend ESOL and standard first grade.

Some classes have students from seven or eight native languages who all work together to learn English. ESOL students were able to acclimate quickly without the pace of learning slowing down for standard first graders.

The explanation is simple, Smith says.

“Children are sponges.”

She says it’s not uncommon to see “children completely unused to English” at

the start of a school year in August “begin to blossom by December.”

The teachers at San Jose work to create “readable classrooms,” Smith says. “Best practices include building word banks, word walls, and thinking maps. Students are encouraged to read the room.” It’s a smaller and safer model of how they’ll one day have to read the world, and with group work, peer collaboration, and learning made fun, San Jose’s students can learn, this early in life, to love the process.

It’s also important, Smith points out, that kids aren’t just taught English or Spanish as skills, but taught content in each language they’re learning. Even in college-level standard writing pedagogy, debate has at times raged over whether to teach writing solely as a skill or to teach via content. It’s obvious nobody reads or communicates without listening or having something to say.

For example, San Jose’s kindergartners, second graders and fourth graders learn science entirely in Spanish, while first, third, and fifth graders learn science exclusively in English. Students learn math in Spanish the years they don’t learn science in Spanish and the same with English.

The result differs greatly from college students taking two courses in Spanish, French or German, but remembering very little of it five years later.

“After four years,” Smith says, “students are fluent in both Spanish and English— reading, writing and speaking—and they’ll have learned the traditional course content they would have learned in a different setting as well.”

Making such a sophisticated multicultural enterprise work requires a highly educated staff, often under-appreciated and always

underpaid. When I ask Smith how many languages the school’s staff speaks, she says, “At least four,” then her eyes flit upward as she thinks. She quickly amends the statement.

“English, Spanish, Burmese—we have about 115 Burmese students here. We have an Arabic translator, a Farsi translator. Oh, one Spanish translator also speaks German, and one or two of them also speak Portuguese.”

Obviously, plenty of Florida counties don’t have as wide a mastery of language as the staff at this one Jacksonville elementary school.

In the 24 years Smith has worked in Duval County Public Schools, she’s rarely seen the level of family participation she sees at San Jose.

In fact, because San Jose offers educational opportunities that often trickle up to the adults in foreign-born and refugee families, sponsors a multitude of cultural event nights to which whole families are welcome, and—as San Jose is a Title I school, meaning a large number of children come from low-income families—grants free or reduced lunches to many of its students, San Jose Elementary has become a pillar of its community.

The school sponsors “field trips” to local Publix groceries to help shop, understand pricing, and work budgets. The activity is a standard of refugee education, and besides teaching math and accounting skills, also helps acculturate children and their families.

“The kids at this school,” Smith says with a proud smile, “get a great foundation to be global citizens, to be American citizens in a global world.”

Jacksonville Dance Theatre moves the HEART & MIND story by MADELEINE PECK WAGNER

W

e are not a ballet company,” states Jacksonville Dance Theatre’s Executive Director Katie McCaughan.

We’re sitting in the small, utilitarian office inside the Florida Theatre Building which is home to the troupe, and we’re talking about what it means, ideologically as well as logistically, to have a professional contemporary dance company in Jacksonville. We laugh a lot, but underneath the laughter is hope, resilience and the knowledge that the only way to help the city embrace contemporary art in all its forms is to put bodies where belief is.

“Our aesthetic is informed and shaped by Rebecca Levy and Tiffany Fish’s overarching vision. In terms of our sentiment, our mission, that thing that drives and underlines what we do, is a commitment to each other as friends, artists and diverse bodies … humans who have something to offer,” answers McCaughan when asked about the ideas that shape the way JDT moves through the world.

Dancers Tiffany Fish, Rebecca Levy and Katie McCaughan are founders of the nonprofit Jacksonville Dance Theatre. The trio founded the company when all three were dance instructors who weren’t yet ready to give up making art. That was 2012; since then, the troupe has expanded its footprint, arguably becoming the city’s most cutting-edge performers making some of the most compelling art in the Southeast.

“We started making work,” recalls Levy, “about summer 2012 … we would make great works together, but we didn’t have a codified company or language. We were just really dedicated to the art form. So when we progressed past that, when we decided to make work for the purpose of a company … it wasn’t, like, one day we were, like, ‘let’s make some art.’ We were already kind of doing it.”

That early conversation took place, as the trio recalls it, at McCaughan’s kitchen table over fish tacos and wine. “I asked: ‘Do you guys want to start a dance company?’ And they said yes,” recounts Artistic Director Rebecca Levy, with a chuckle.

It wasn’t as happenstance as all that, though.

Levy reveals she purchased the domain name before relocating here, while still in Los Angeles. Clearly, Levy had some prescience about what she wanted to do. And though the three are highly respected in Jacksonville’s dance community, they’re not the only dancers who’ve returned, or moved here, for a variety of reasons.

Additionally, the dance programs at Jacksonville University and FSCJ (where each of the three now teach or have taught) have strong programs, and the presence of a professional dance company is an opportunity for young dancers to deepen their connection to the craft.

When asked what the meat of their mission is, McCaughan leaps in. “We try to value each other and uplift. We try to incubate the younger dancers who are coming up in our company,” she explains. With a track record that includes continued growth, collaborations (national and international), community outreach and grants from The Community Foundation of Northeast Florida, Florida Division of Cultural Affairs, the city of Jacksonville and PNC Arts Alive grant, they’re doing just that. The incremental but steady success JDT has enjoyed is a marker of its deep, abiding commitment to smart, inclusive ideas, often marked with and by collaboration and risk-taking.

I

still remember the first JDT performance I saw, held in the Episcopal School of Jacksonville’s theater. I walked in just as McCaughan was finishing up her opening remarks.

Her comments centered around the idea that dance exists only in the moment of its making. It’s a concept that has stuck with me for years: this idea of an utterly fleeting form, that perhaps more than any other art, needs to be witnessed in person. But more than reinforcing the necessity of viewing art—any kind of art—in person, it forcibly removes dance from static presentations so dramatically seen in still photography and represents it as a living form.

As I settled into a seat toward the back of the

auditorium, this perception lingered but, as the performances started, I felt removed from linear time, as if I were being granted the privilege of watching something sacred and deeply personal unfold.

Since then, I’ve tried to make it to as many of JDT’s performances as possible. The result has been that the opportunity to bear witness to the company’s evolution is also a tangible reminder of the value of arts. It’s not so much about dollars and cents, about new condos and convention centers—it’s about the way art impacts the spirit. The way that a heart can soar when a dancer leaps, or convulsions of laughter can grip when a particularly absurd scene (dancing donuts, for instance) is danced.

W

hile we’re here, though, let’s briefly—really briefly—touch on dollars, cents and community engagement. In the approximately five years that JDT has been in operation, it has always been a professional troupe. The dancers are paid, as are any guest artists, collaborators, designers or composers and, according to JDT’s records, because of its professional mien, the company had an economic impact of $83,551 since inception.

In terms of business, that number might feel modest, but in terms of what that means for a cultural organization in Jacksonville, it is huge. At a time when the Cultural Council is being lambasted for “mismanaged administrative expenses” and a local museum has sold off a major asset (Joan Mitchell’s Iva) in an attempt to raise funds, to be in the black speaks as much to the tenacity of the troupe as it does to members’ ethics and commitment.

Yet, the value of art is essentially ineffable and impossible to quantify. “I am often asked to articulate why art—and specifically dance— is inherently valuable, or to describe what a return on an investment in the arts would look like,” says McCaughan. “These are fine and good questions that I often have a very simple answer for. Why should we value and invest in the arts? So that they exist. So that the people who have dedicated their lives to being in art, teaching that art, producing that art, are valued. And not just valued with praise.

Accolades don’t pay rent or support a family.

How do we begin to shift the inherent value we give to the arts to a tangible value the artists who contribute their talents and energies to their communities can actually feel? There are very few other professions that we as a society ask people to do for free. I believe in providing sustainable opportunities for dance-making, health and wellness, and community and cultural advancement here in Jacksonville.”

In addition to bringing the kind of contemporary dance most often experienced in larger more cosmopolitan areas, the women rely on the friendships they’ve built to bring singular collaborations to the stage. In September alone, the dance theater is presenting two programs, each of which is a joint effort. With these works, there are opportunities for Jacksonville aficionados to see internationally lauded artists, with significant pedigrees.

O

n Saturday, Sept. 8, JDT takes the stage with the Los Angelesbased Nancy Evans Dance Theatre. It’s especially exciting, explains Levy, because NEDT draws from the dance lineage of Hanya Holm.

Holm is considered to be one of the “Big Four” founders of American modern dance, but she’s less well-known to those outside the dance community.

Creative Director Tiffany Fish speculates this comes from Holm’s methodology. “For me, what distinguishes Hanya Holm within the pioneers of modern dance is also what makes her one of the less-recognizable members of this distinguished group. Instead of asking her students and performers to copy her codified movement language, she gave them agency to create from their own experience and the freedom to explore what was authentic to them. She was interested in using movement as a form of communication instead of a visual portrayal of form.”

Indeed, in She Was Here, a piece Fish choreographed for the company this year, she seems to have taken cues from Holm’s methods. “I didn’t have a lot of time to make a piece that I wanted to be pretty long [it ended up being about 16 minutes], and I only had a month to make it. So I knew I had to generate movement material based off of my performers. I had to allow their bodies to create something in real time and then to take that and instead of being a choreographer ... [I was] choreographic director,” she explains.

Later, on Sept. 26, JDT performs the world premiere of the piece Did I Remember, a new work by internationally acclaimed choreographer and media artist Jonah Bokaer.

It’s the culmination of a multi-week residency with Long Road Projects.

Bokaer has been a professional dancer (dance-maker, as The Australian turned the phrase) since age 18, and a dancer in Merce Cunningham’s company. In addition to his personal practice, in 2007 he and John Jasperse founded the Center for Performance Research in NYC, which gives time and space to dancers

FALL ARTS PREVIEW

I

t’s a riff so well-known, some now hear it as a joke. But when Deep Purple released the 1972 classic “Smoke on the Water,” it was no laughing matter. That song’s simple opening riff, a kind of rudimentary blues lick, has become a rock signifier and icon in its own right. Part of its appeal is in its ease at being recognizable and for its simplicity mastered by a legion of budding guitarists. “Smoke on the Water” hit No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Before that success, and like their UK peers Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, Deep Purple had already taken the blueprint created by the likes of Cream, Jeff Beck Group and Vanilla Fudge and carved out a whole new genre: heavy metal.

Formed in Hertford, England in 1968, Deep Purple started out with psychedelic and progressive rock stylings. The first lineup–vocalist Rod Evans, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, bassist Nick Simper, keyboardist Jon Lord and drummer Ian Paice– released three albums. Those efforts had their moments both artistic and commercial (1968’s “Hush” also hit No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100; it’s still a fan favorite), but it wasn’t until the release of ’70’s Deep Purple in Rock that the band dimed out the amps, ramped up the intensity, and began to lay waste to their rock peers.

Vocalist Evans and bassist Simper bowed out of the group; in stepped vocalist Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover, joining founders Blackmore, Lord and Paice. As they made ready to create In Rock, Blackmore later told journalist Tony Dolan, he thought the band “should be an all-out assault on the eardrums.” Mission accomplished.

In Rock opens with “Speed King,” a five-minute whirl that comes across like Little Richard on (more) amphetamines; a readily available clip of the band performing the song on UK TV shows the lineup in destructo mode. The band starts off with a subtle blue riff, Lord playing jazzy filigrees on top, and then all hell breaks loose. They merge into a hive mind; Gillan displays stellar vocal skills, Glover and Paice show that the best rhythm sections know how to murder the beat. At one point, Blackmore flashes his signature move, whipping his Fender Stratocaster around his body in a swift 180-degree swing. Deep Purple didn’t rock; they attacked “Controlled chaos” is a term that’s been played out to the point of irrelevancy. As Led Zeppelin became more byzantine in its albeit highly successful recordings, and Black Sabbath proved time and again that some of the best music is

CRUISIN’ FOR A

BRUISIN’

UK hard-rock kings Deep Purple bring a METALLIC WALLOP to Daily’s Place rendered with one sonic color scheme (uh, “black”), Deep Purple–on stage and in the studio–became masters of aiming for the guard rail without crashing over.

Deep Purple’s success could arguably be chalked off to serendipity. Talent aside, at that point in the British rock scene, there were other equally innovative, head-smacking contenders. Lesserknowns like Hawkwind, the Pink Fairies, Fuzzy Duck and Atomic Rooster also played heavy, thumping music that took cues from earlier acid rock yet swapped out LSD for a skin-eating, hydrochloric burn. One thing those groups lacked, however, was songwriting.

In Rock featured one of DP’s other definitive classics, “Child in Time,” showing the band’s skill at using an extreme whispering/deafening dynamic of restrained sensitivity-meets-nervous-system murder. A ballad tethered by Lord’s simple, twochord organ vamp, “Child in Time” soon swells up into a … there’s really no other word … majestic buildup by the entire band. A third of the way in, the band accelerates into a solo passage that inexplicably blends Bach riffs with blues boogie and makes it seem natural. The lyrics are refreshingly hopeless. Gillan warns the listener of the “bullets flying” in this world, assuring them to “wait for the ricochet.” Quality, moody stuff, out the same year Ray Stevens’ “Everything Is Beautiful” rode the charts.

When the band released Machine Head in ’72, they’d honed their songwriting and conveyance of that craft into a seminal album of hard rock.

Along with “Smoke on the Water,” the album had

two more now-classics: brutal road song “Highway Star” and brutal space-flight song “Space Truckin’.” Deep Purple has always enjoyed strong record sales. Their debut album alone, Shades of Deep Purple, sold a million copies. From start to end, Machine Head is a tight-as-a-drum release, free of any early ’70s production wankery or la-dida arrangements. Music fans ate it up: Machine Head sold in the millions and the band played stadium-sized concerts.

That same year, Deep Purple released the now-classic live album, Made in Japan, showing off their skills extending and magnifying Machine Head tunes and earlier songs in their catalog.

Though artists like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, James Taylor and Joni Mitchell were the music critics’ darlings, hard rock and metal were routinely bashed. Rock writer Lester Bangs was the apostate, an early (and nearly lone) champion of the directness and artifice-and-bullshit-free stance of bands like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.

In a March 25, 1972 Rolling Stone record review of Machine Head, Bangs wrote: “In between those two Deep Purple classics lies nothing but good, hard-socking music, although some of the lyrics may leave a bit to be desired” of “Highway Star,” “Space Truckin’” and the rest of the album. “I do know that this very banality is half the fun of rock ’n’ roll. And I am confident I will love the next five Deep Purple albums madly so long as they sound exactly like these last three,” he wrote.

Inexplicably, as if cursed by Bangs, subsequent Deep Purple albums degraded into ’70s rock glooch-boogie. Gillan and Glover,

who’d just injected some much-needed overdrive, split. Vocalist David Coverdale and bassist Glenn Hughes signed on for 1974’s Burn. The title track was a minor hit, but the rest of the album yawns its way through hard-rock paces. Deep Purple went from being pioneers to bit players. The records of this era sold well but, to be fair, Rick Dees’ 1976 novelty ditty “Disco Duck” also sold millions. By the time DP released its 10th effort, the uninvitingly titled Come Taste the Band, even Blackmore left, starting a new music project, Rainbow.

As the ’70s faded, DP bandmembers stayed busy. Blackmore’s Rainbow made some worthy metal albums, Gillan sang vocals on Black Sabbath’s Born Again–a fantastic addition to the metal canon. In 1984, Deep Purple’s classic lineup reunited for Perfect Strangers, ’87’s The House of Blue Light and The Battle Rages On … in ’93.

Since then, Blackmore and the others have been locked into a Spinal Tap-style pissing contest–old British rock bands seem to have invented and continue to perfect this lunacy.

With Jon Lord’s 2012 death, any hopes of the band caging the lawyers long enough for another reunion were laid to rest.

In 1994, American fusion-blues guitarist badass Steve Morse (Dixie Dregs, Kansas) signed on; he’s been crucial in keeping the legacy alive and the sound current. Veteran UK keyboardist Don Airey has been master of the Hammond organ.

When the band plays this week with fellow metal legends Judas Priest, fans get to witness not one, but two, of the greatest rock bands ever known– able blast their Marshall stacks to the point of audio derangement.

Deep Purple was finally inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in April 2016. Again in Spinal Tap mode, an ego battle was waged before the ceremony. Gillan forbade Hughes, Coverdale, Evans and Blackmore to play onstage. Blackmore blew it all off, i.e., “Smoke on the Lawyer.”

Deep Purple is a band defined by successes.

Subsequent bands ranging from KISS and Rush to Metallica, The Flaming Lips and Guns ’N’ Roses have acknowledged DP’s influence. Like countless listeners since, those musicians were pulled in by that simple “Smoke on the Water” riff, then worshipped at the altar of 20th-century rock’s true pioneers.

MAKING THE DREAM WORK <<< FROM PAGE 15 and performers developing contemporary works seated in performance. In a New York Times interview, Bokaer said, “The belief is that the center is a response to crisis, the crisis being that it is really hard to live and to make work here.”

Though Bokaer was talking about living in and making work in New York, he could— with a little tweak—be talking about the First Coast. The changed language being, of course, that it’s not hard to live here (we have it on good authority it’s easier here), but to make a living as an artist here, especially an artist doing challenging, hard to monetize, contemporary work, is nigh impossible.

So it may be exceptionally poignant and fitting that this extraordinarily committed, compassionate artist is here now. LRP founder Aaron Garvey said, “The partnership of the two organizations is meant to strengthen the contemporary art program in the Southeast U.S. while bolstering the profile of Northeast Florida.”

Did I Remember is centered around 1920s jazz club Lenape Tavern, housed within the former Genovar’s Hall in LaVilla. These days, it stands quasi-forgotten, the secondfloor brick walls supported by steel beams, a skeletal nod to bygone dignity. As a failed preservation attempt, it’s an apt metaphor for the quasi-care the city gives LaVilla.

For his part, Bokaer reflects, “Friendships, and being present for each other during the big events in life, formed the basis for this collaboration with the new chapter of Aaron and Stevie’s organization, called Long Road Projects. I think this new project in Jacksonville is the first time I have approached a curator (it was me, approaching Aaron) based on a desire for continued work together. I made the initial call because I trust him. Our project will also nurture my two-dimensional work in the visual arts, during a moment when I hope to revisit, expand and commemorate that practice, which is less publicly celebrated. Did I Remember, this new two-part work for stage

at Jacksonville Dance Theatre, and on the page with master printmaker Patrick Miko, made in collaboration with my longtime colleague Szabi Pataki, is dedicated to the absent, erased or invisible performing artists who entertained at the now-abandoned building Genovar’s Hall, in a historically African-American area of Downtown Jacksonville. I hope that audiences, artists and citizens will happen upon the performance, the lithographs which trace the performance and a possible “play list” installation in the abandoned Hall of the original singers on tour in Jacksonville, appreciating the rich history of a city that’s coming to life again, thanks to Aaron, Stevie, their organization and all of these rich local partnerships.”

T

he most recent JDT performance was held in May, a wildly joyous event revisiting some of the 2018 performances and showcasing new works. Among the more memorable was The Things They Carried, choreographed by Kristen Sullivan in collaboration with the performer Amalia Rivera. She “wore” a skirt that doubled as a cage.

Rivera moved “against” the paper restraints, finally breaking free. But much of the power in the performance was the dancer’s extended stillness: immobile for minutes at a time. As an image, it was compelling and evocative—as a foil to the dance, it was sharp and smart.

Contemporary dance can feel intimidating but, really, it’s about looking and feeling. When asked about the place dance occupies as an art form, McCaughan replies, “Dance is an important and historic art form in our country.

Modern dance, in particular. It’s associated with the same ideas and energies connected to the American spirit and to American innovation.

It’s a rebellion, an act of freedom, a challenge to the ways of the past, and a vision of new ways forward. Modern dance is diverse, dynamic, communal and inherently collaborative. We need to make sure we’re sustaining a diversity of arts here in Jacksonville—including professional modern dance, and we need to ensure those endeavoring to do such a crazy thing are valued.”

FALL ARTS PREVIEW

C

onsider this a correction to the historical record: Wayne Kramer is officially the most interesting man in rock ’n’ roll. In 1964, he co-founded MC5, which many consider the first true punk band in history. Kramer was the first counterculture leftist to celebrate the American flag, painting one on the Fender Stratocaster he thrashed on within an inch of its life for eight years alongside Rob Tyner, Fred “Sonic” Smith, Michael Davis and Dennis Thompson.

Kramer and MC5 trafficked in garage rock as much as R&B and free jazz, citing Little Richard and Chuck Berry as initial influences before deviating into abstractions à la Albert Ayler, Sun Ra and John Coltrane. That experimental attitude was at the behest of their manager, Jerry Sinclair who, after expanding the MC5’s profile, joined Kramer in starting the White Panther Party.

Such a revolutionary political alignment came naturally to the MC5. During the devastating Detroit riots of 1967, Kramer was arrested, his bedroom telescope mistaken by police for a sniperspotting device. In 1968, while the Democratic National Convention devolved into televised anarchy, MC5 played on, stealing electricity from a hot dog cart to power their equipment. But when Sinclair went to jail, the band fell apart, succumbing to hard drugs and heavy infighting. At just 24 years old, Kramer walked offstage during a hometown gig at Detroit’s Grande Ballroom and never looked back.

Calamities ensued, along with, eventually, recoveries. In the ’70s, Kramer became a smalltime gangster, eventually serving a two-year stint in federal prison for selling cocaine. In the ’80s, struggling to get clean, he was a roofer in Brooklyn, a cabinetmaker in Nashville, and a drunk in Key West. By the turn of the century, Kramer finally got sober. Later, passionate about prison-reform advocacy, he started Jail Guitar Doors, a nonprofit that provided instruments to inmates, with English folk-punk icon Billy Bragg.

In the ’00s, Kramer started composing for movies (Talladega Nights) and TV shows (Eastbound and Down). He released a few farout solo records. Finally, someone, somewhere convinced him (thank God) to tell his story, his way. This

50 YEARS A FIREBRAND MC5 co-founder Wayne Kramer sets the record straight about his LEGENDARY BAND and its LASTING LEGACY summer, that memoir—Hard Stuff: Dope, Crime, The MC5 & My Life of Impossibilities—finally arrived. A few weeks later, Kramer set out across North America with a supercharged MC50 lineup— Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil, Fugazi’s Brendan Canty, Faith No More’s Billy Gould, Zen Guerrilla’s Marcus Durant and renowned record producer Don Was—to celebrate the 50th anniversary of MC’s acclaimed album Kick Out the Jams.

At age 70, Kramer is reenergized, his booming laugh and incisive language flicking like flames at the questions he’s asked. He makes it clear in an interview with Folio Weekly that this is finally his chance to set the record straight, so let’s allow him to do it.

WAYNE ON THE CONSERVATIVE RIGHT’S CO-OPTING OF PATRIOTISM: “This situation existed in the ’60s, which is exactly why I utilized the flag [on my guitar] as a symbol of my patriotism. I felt like everything we did as the MC5 was fundamentally patriotic. I saw the country

going in the wrong direction. My understanding has always been that the American experiment in democracy is participatory—it’s something you do, not just a word or an idea. It’s an action. The Framers did a pretty good job coming up with a system that was the best anyone had come up with. It’s certainly imperfect, with a great many shortcomings, but I have no problem honoring the principles it represents.”

WAYNE ON HIS LONGTIME FRIEND TED NUGENT: “I found a photograph of my friend Ted on stage with an American flag, an electric guitar and a machine gun, so I took a picture of me—flag, electric guitar and semiautomatic rifle—and sent it to him. I wanted to do an interview where we talked about these symbols and how the same symbols could mean two different things.

Unfortunately, Ted didn’t grasp the irony of that. He said, ‘These are great pictures, Wayne!’ He missed the point completely.”

WAYNE ON DONALD TRUMP: “There are some things that Trump has done that I kind of like. He’s disrupted international trade and long-standing, status-quo agreements. He has an anarchist streak, even though he doesn’t know it. That’s not much, though, compared to the negativity. The guy is a wretched grifter with utter contempt for the rule of law. Speaking as a guy who

served a federal prison term, I believe in the rule of law. Always have, actually.”

WAYNE ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF MC5’S POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS: “As an artist, one of your strong suits is agit-prop.

You can disrupt, generating eyes and ears for your art, by being provocative. That’s a tool in the arsenal—how are we going to carry a message?

Often, there’s a price to be paid for that. Usually, you’re young enough that you can absorb it.”

WAYNE ON RECRUITING THE MC50 LINEUP: “It’s not like they got hired for a job—this is more like a mission. They all understand playing the MC5’s music represents a message of unlimited possibilities, of self-efficacy, and of self-determination—if you go all the way with it and commit completely. They get that. We asked everybody for a sentence or two for publicity purposes, and Marcus [Durant’s] response was that this is biblical for him. He feels like he was born for the role.”

WAYNE ON HIS BANDMATES’ SKILLS: “From time to time, I’m guiding them in learning how to play free. Let the beat go. Let the key go.

Let preconceived ideas about music go. Let’s just play and see what happens. Don’t worry. [Laughs.]

You gotta let go of old ideas. That idea has been fun to share. It clicks, man. These cats are such good players. Everybody’s at the peak of their game. I was so knocked out that it sounded so good and powerful.”

WAYNE ON THE PRESSURE OF LIVING UP TO MC5’S 50-YEAR EPOCH: “I didn’t really know if it was going to work. I suspected it was going to work. When we went out on stage for the very first European festival this year, my guess was that half the crowd had no idea who we were—and that half at least had heard of ‘Kick Out the Jams.’ But by the second song, I could see that they got it. They understood that this was balls-to-the-wall rock ’n’ roll. I’m thrilled that the music still connects the way it was designed to connect—and that it’s sustained for 50 years.

Who’d a’ thunk?”

FOLIO A+E : MAGIC LANTERNS TOIL & TROUBLE in creepy new romance

DOUBLE, DOUBLE F

22 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | SEPTEMBER 5-11, 2018

rench director Francois Ozon is one of the most prolific of contemporary filmmakers, averaging at least one film a year since 1997’s See the Sea. He’s also among the more unpredictable filmmakers as far as subject and approach go, veering from psychological horror to austere romanticism (2017’s Frantz). His other films range from comedies to melodramas to steamy psychological thrillers, the most famous of which is Swimming Pool (’03) with Charlotte Rampling and Ludivine Sagnier.

Ozon’s follow-up to Frantz is a gorgeous black-and-white love story set during WWI, Double Lover, a return to outrageous, uninhibited themes and style of Criminal Lovers (’99) and Swimming Pool. Double Lover won Ozon a nomination for the prestigious Palme d’Or at Cannes.

It’s worth noting the new film stars Marine Bacth, with whom Ozon worked four years before in Young and Beautiful. She was good then; she’s even better now.

Ozon wrote his screenplay based on Joyce Carol Oates’ short 1987 novel Lives of the Twins. Ironies abound because Oates first published the novel under the pseudonym of Rosamond Smith, but when the real author was revealed, Oates said she tried it “because I wanted to escape from my own identity.”

The title sequence sets the film’s tone and approach. The camera focuses on a close-up of a young woman with long, black hair combed over her face. From behind this curtain, her eyes observe stare. We soon discern she’s just getting a haircut, a rather drastic one, as it turns out.

Chloé (Bacth) is a former model who suffers from severe abdominal pains for which her physician has been unable to find a cause.

After several sessions with psychiatrist Paul (Jérémie Renier), Chloé seems on her way to recovery. She’s also fallen in love with Paul and he with her.

The couple seem happy and content when, quite by accident, Chloé discovers Paul has a twin brother, Louis, also a psychiatrist, but with a different last name. To get at the truth behind Paul’s deception about his family, Chloé makes an appointment with Louis who, it turns out, is the exact opposite of Paul.

Where Paul is gentle, Louis is rough.

Paul is caring, Louis genuinely selfish.

Soon she’s sleeping with both men though only Louis knows the truth, a matter about which he openly taunts her, ridiculing Paul’s obtuseness. Whenever Chloé is with one twin, she says, it’s the other one about whom she thinks. She loves Paul, but she can’t seem to do without Louis.

Finally determined to pry the secret of Paul’s utter denial of his brother’s existence, she learns of a young woman who once was the victim of both. A visit to the girl’s mother (Jacqueline Bisset) only leads to more confusion and discovery, propelling the film toward its bizarre, surprising and totally unexpected third act.

But you can discover that for yourself.

Double Lover inevitably recalls David Cronenberg’s unsettling but brilliant Dead Ringers and its tale of twin gynecologists (Jeremy Irons) and Claire (Geneviève Bujold), their lover/patient. There are also elements of Hitchcock in here, Ozon constantly using dual images in mirrors and all other sorts of doubling shots throughout, to evoke the inner world of Chloe’s disturbed psyche.

Like Cronenberg (and Hitchcock, for that matter), Francois Ozon is a master of the unexpected.

NO EVIL on the menu at Beaches restaurant

LUNCH

PLANTOLOGY JUICE BAR & CAFÉ ON ATLANTIC Boulevard is a nice introduction to eating plantbased for those new to meatless. Their offerings are healthy and diverse and the killer smoothies are fresh and very filling.

Plantology is run by some of the owners of the previously established Watts Juicery, so you can expect the same great plant-powered zing from the same local ownership.

If you’re looking for something to chew, check out the chalkboard specials. I found the hearty Loaded Breakfast Burrito ($13), a wrap full of tofu, veggies, avocado slices and coconut bacon. You’re a fool if you don’t splurge 75 cents for nacho cheese sauce made from cashews and love. The adorbs folks at Plantology offered a small cup of cubed pineapple with a dash of cinnamon, which made for a great, and original, combo.

On the regular menu, check out sandwiches like (Un)Tuna Salad Sandwich ($9), my companion’s favorite, though we agreed it didn’t taste like tuna.

Perhaps the day’s batch lacked in fishiness, but regardless of un-tuna-ness, the hearts of palm mixture tucked between two slices of bread, with pickled red onion, lettuce and tomato, was delicious.

The coconut bacon and eggplant bacon are made in-house; the latter is served with the ELT Sandwich ($9), Plantology’s take on the BLT. It’s so popular, they were out of eggplant—if it’s that good, I’m looking forward to trying it next time.

I love that you can add capers, kraut, avocados, pickled onions, coconut bacon, spinach, chopped almonds and coconut yogurt to any dish. These little additions pump up the flavor profile and light up your taste buds. They also satisfy your hunger,

PLANTOLOGY JUICE BAR & CAFÉ

1013 Atlantic Blvd., Atlantic Beach, 372-7818, plantologycafé.com particularly if you’re new to eating vegetarian and worry about feeling full.

On to the specialty: juices. You gotta try the housemade almond Mylk (almonds, dates, cinnamon, vanilla, Himalayan pink salt, water).

All juices are fresh-squeezed and served in nice bottles that keep well in the fridge. The Jade is the most popular powerhouse green juice; it packs a punch with kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, parsley, fennel, aloe, chlorella, ginger and lime ($10). If you’re looking for something more approachable, check out the lighter, sweeter Nirvana with orange, grapefruit, ginger and cayenne ($9).

We left the Thin Mint smoothie ($11) for last, for dessert (there are rules, ya know), and holy smokes!

It’s the ultimate of ultimates when it comes to being refreshing and satisfying a sweet tooth. The best part is that with its wholesome ingredients—chocolate protein powder, cacao nibs, mint, frozen avocado and almond milk—it’s actually not terrible for you. Yes, eat this as your meal. It’s definitely filling enough!

Gotta love a local company, especially when they support local, too. Plantology uses bread from Ferra Bakery on Philips (who also sell at Beaches Green Market) and they source greens from Atlantic Beach Urban Farm. They’re clearly committed to making the community a place where you can eat good food that’s good for everyone.

Cannabis and beer create a BEAUTIFUL UNION

RIBS

CHEFFED-UP

FOR ALL

SEASONS HERBAL

REFRESHMENTS WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN A BOOMING BEER industry and the growing marijuana industry collide? You get beer that Cheech and Chong would totally toss back. As recreational Mary Jane becomes legal in more and more states, the two industries want to capitalize on the popularity of each other. The biggest hurdle to dank brew?

Good ol’ Uncle Sam, of course.

While there are several hemp-based beers on the market–which we’ll discuss in a bit–there is only one weed beer.

Two Roots Brewing Co. of San Diego has successfully brewed non-alcoholic beers that are infused with micro doses of cannabis. The initial lineup includes a lager, stout, IPA and blonde ale. The company will introduce a wheat brew later that not only has the effects of cannabis, but tastes like it, too.

“The launch of Two Roots,” says Tim Walters, chief operating officer, “is the culmination of more than two-and-a-half years of research, development, planning and building of not just a product or brand, but an organization with 150,000 square feet of operations across California and Nevada.”

The brew, which the company is calling Cannabier (can-na-BEER), employs stateof-the-art brewing technology along with first-of-its-kind cannabinoid infusion to create a fast-acting, natural alternative to alcoholic beer. For now, though, it’s available only in California and Nevada.

The company expects to distribute in other states where recreational marijuana is legal in the near future.

Until weed-infused beer is legal in more states, there are a few alternatives. Two of craft beer’s largest brewers, New Belgium Brewing Co. and SweetWater Brewery, have recently introduced hemp beers that are

legal and provide potheads and weekend imbibers the taste of ganja without an attack of the munchies.

New Belgium recently introduced The Hemperer, an ale akin to an IPA but dubbed an HPA, or hemp pale ale. More than two years of development was stymied by bureaucratic roadblocks because hemp is still considered a Schedule 1 drug, never mind that it contains no THC, the psychoactive substance in pot that gets you high.

The original idea was for the beer to be flavored with hemp flowers or leaves, but the Alcohol & Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau and Drug Enforcement Agency quickly put the kibosh on that idea, so New Belgium had to get inventive. They worked with plant genetics researchers to develop a proprietary brewing process that used legal hemp hearts–the meat of the seed removed from its shell–and several strains of hops. The result carries the unmistakably dank aroma of a Grateful Dead concert in a beer that’s legal in 49 states. Kansas refuses to allow it since it has hemp in it.

Atlanta-based SweetWater also has introduced a hemp brew with its 420 Strain G13 IPA. Head Brewer Nick Nock carefully selected hops with terpenes, oils that provide flavor and aroma, closely mimicking the characteristics of the herb with hemp hearts and other botanically derived terpenes.

These beverages are just the tip of the iceberg in the coming cannabis/hemp beer onslaught. As laws regulating wacky tobbaccy loosen, so will the fl oodgates on beers that use it as an ingredient. Let’s hope that that happens sooner rather than later.

A lighter take on a FATTY FAVORITE is just the ticket

OVERSET

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THE COMMERCIALS for the big corporate restaurants? They make a huge deal about their “new” menus.

They promote these menus endlessly for months at a time. Upon closer inspection, the “new” menus are usually just a reorganization of the same ol’ offerings: a couple of combo platters, maybe a different seasoning blend on their frozen fries, or a new twist on their bottled ranch dressing.

Ugh. Where’s the seasonality? The variety?

The fun? Where’s the humanity?

I’m a huge proponent of seasonal menus, yet I’m starting to think I’m alone.

Even independent restaurants seem to be ignoring seasonality these days, especially upscale places. I can’t figure it out. Maybe diners aren’t interested in variety and change. Perhaps people want to stick with what’s familiar when dining out–especially when the meal is expensive.

Eating is FUN. It’s one of my favorite activities, right after cooking, of course.

It’s especially fun to eat lighter, spicy, more delicately prepared foods in the summer when the temps outside are sweltering.

The best part of changing or lightening your cooking style for the hotter months is that you can continue to enjoy your favorite proteins. Simply change the sides, the cooking techniques, cuts and even portion sizes.

The grill is my favorite piece of summer cooking equipment. The mere aromas of charcoal and hard woods burning should be enough to inspire anyone to cook on a grill. When you add the sweet smell of the smoke created by the flare-ups from the fats dripping from the meats and vegetables as they caramelize, you have recipe for a mouthwatering meal!

With this in mind, I decided to cook some short ribs the other night. NOT the big, thick, rich, succulent, red-winebraised variety I often enjoy in the winter.

Instead I’m cooking a thin, spicy, citrusy, sweet, salty version perfect for grilling: the

brilliant Korean short ribs called Gaibi.

First I chose a cut known as flanken. This means they’re cut across the bones, leaving about portion that’s half-inch to one-inch thick, by six to eight inches long. Perfect for quickly absorbing the Gaibi marinade flavors. Plus, they require very little cooking time. To be honest, the short cooking time is actually a disadvantage, considering the amazing aromas wafting up from the grill.

Just thinking of the smell makes me salivate.

I marinated these ribs for a couple days and served them with kimchi and farmers market vegetable fried rice.

Here’s the marinade recipe. I hope it inspires y’all to Chef-Up summer meals and avoid that corporate garbage.

CHEF BILL’S KOREAN SHORT RIBS MARINADE

Ingredients • 3 ounces soy sauce • 3/4 cup brown sugar • 2 ounces mirin • 1 tbsp. sesame oil • 1 tbsp. black pepper • 1/2 tsp. Korean chili powder • 1 onion, julienned • 8 garlic cloves, smashed • 1 Asian pear, peeled, seeded and sliced • 2 tbsp. ginger, peeled and sliced • 1 tbsp. sesame seeds Directions 1. Puree all ingredients, mix with •• the ribs.

2. Refrigerate at least 24 hours and up •• to two days.

A rundown of local breweries with DOGFRIENDLY patios

WAG-WORTHY BREWERIES

ANYONE WHO’S SPENT TIME AT ANY NORTHEAST Florida breweries knows how common it is to see dozens of dogs schmoozing at the pub. Dogs love to be around people, and people like the company—and the potential to post darn cute pictures. On Instagram, #dogfriendlybreweries is a trend.

But according to the Duval County Florida Department of Health, bars, bottle shops and breweries are bound by the same health codes as restaurants— tagging beer as food, which means that dogs aren’t allowed inside. The one exception is service animals. Guess a pooch needs a job before it’s allowed to belly up to the bar.

So what to do when you want to toss back a few but have your pooch with you?

Find a place with an outdoor space. In the Sunshine State, dogs are still permitted on patios and outdoor areas. Here are some of my favorites.

with a large selection of local beers and an outdoor deck for dogs and humans.

AARDWOLF BREWING COMPANY 1461 Hendricks Ave., San Marco. Microbrewery in the heart of San Marco offering unique brews with a good vibe and a paved outdoor patio.

WICKED BARLEY BREWING COMPANY 4100 Baymeadows Rd., Southside. Warm and inviting gastropub that serves bar food and beer, with a pet-friendly waterfront beer garden.

BOLD CITY BREWERY 2670 Rosselle St., Ste. 7, Riverside. Comfortable, friendly place to share a pint or two of craft beer beside your four-legger in the outside seating area.

BOTTLENOSE BREWING 9700 Deer Lake Court, Ste. 1, Southside. Cool brewery that serves house and local brews in hip, laid-back digs, with a pet-friendly patio.

ENGINE 15 633 N. Myrtle Ave., Springfield.

The brewery’s Downtown-adjacent location has been closed for modifications, but due to reopen any day now, which means pups can soon chill at the outside biergarten whilst you play yard games.

GREEN ROOM BREWERY 228 Third St. N., Jax Beach. Superchill brewpub at the beach,

HYPERION BREWING COMPANY 1740 Main St. N., Springfield. Nano-brewery with a refreshing taproom experience, serving a rotating lineup of beers. The outside patio is super-cute with sunshades to keep you and your dog cool.

KANINE SOCIAL 580 College St., Riverside.

A unique venue that combines an indooroutdoor dog park with a beer, wine and coffee bar. It’s a perfect gathering spot for pups and people alike.

MAIN & SIX BREWERY 1636 Main St. N., Springfield. A craft beer brewery in Historic Springfield showcasing hop-forward beers, cold-brew coffee, and an outdoor patio where quadrupeds and bipeds can hang out together day and night.

Cracking down on canines in breweries is not-so-great news for local watering holes, but take heart: Jacksonville is a dogfriendly city. There are plenty of places where pups can join their beer-drinking compadres outside. Dogs and beer are huge parts of many lives; a pint glass and a leash go hand-in-hand, literally. The best way to support local businesses that do allow dogs, beyond making purchases, is to follow its rules. Common courtesy can also help to ensure a safe, pleasant experience for everyone and make certain dogs stay part of the community brew experience.

PET TIP: OH, RATS! A FOLIO WEEKLY COVER STORY SUBJECT RECENTLY ADOPTED SOME rescue brown rats (yes, really) and was surprised to find that rattus norvegicus make excellent pets (really, again). They’re smart, easily trained, extremely clean and affectionate. Some words of caution from vetstreet.com: Like other fur babies, rats require preventive veterinary care for conditions such as breast tumors, respiratory tract disease and uterine infection. Find a vet familiar with the unique aspects of rat care, but be warned that Splinter won’t be particularly long-lived; rats average only a two-to-three-year lifespan.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD SHOULD’VE USED HIS DRIVER

In Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Aug. 17, a friendly game at Southers Marsh Golf Club turned ugly when Derek Harkins, 46, and an unnamed 57-year-old man got into a brawl on the 18th hole. But you gotta hand it to Harkins: The Patriot Ledger reported he pointedly ended the fight by biting off the other man’s finger up to the knuckle, according to Plymouth Police Chief Michael Botieri. The victim, from Marshfield, was taken to the hospital, but his finger could not be reattached. Harkins was arrested at the scene and charged with assault and battery, mayhem and disturbing the peace.

HOME RUN!

Debbie L. McCulley, 57, of Salem, Virginia, has been banned from all future Floyd County High School sporting events but, on the bright side, her indecent exposure case may eventually be dropped, following an incident area lawyers are calling “moon over Floyd.” McCulley’s husband, Mark, is Glenvar High School’s JV softball coach; charges resulted from Debbie’s unusual reaction to her husband’s team’s loss to Floyd County in May. She “stood on or close to the pitcher’s mound and pulled down her pants with her right hand to expose her right butt cheek,” according to Floyd County Sheriff’s Deputy G.H. Scott. Debbie told the officer her husband had confronted the opposing coach after the game, and she was afraid he would be “attacked,” so she was trying to divert attention from the two men. The Roanoke Times reported Debbie wrote a letter of apology and will be performing community service. Chris Robinson of the Virginia High School League noted crowd behavior at games is “probably leaning a little bit in the wrong direction.”

KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR IT

Recently, United Press International reported a 42-year-old British woman went to her eye doctor when her eyelid was swelling and drooping. After doing an MRI, doctors found a cyst and performed surgery, during which they found a hard contact lens embedded in the eyelid. Turns out the patient had been hit

34 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | SEPTEMBER 5-11, 2018

in the eye 28 years ago and assumed the lens fell out. She had no symptoms all that time.

AT LEAST IT WASN’T AIDA

After 16 years, neighbors of “Eva N.” in Sturovo, Slovakia, have relief from her particular brand of torment, reported the BBC. From morning to night, the woman played a four-minute aria from Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata” over and over, with speakers on full blast. “The whole street is suffering,” complained one resident. At first, the music-lover played the music to drown out a neighbor’s barking dog, but kept it up until Aug. 6, when she was arrested for harassment and malicious persecution. If found guilty, she could face between six months and three years in prison.

SHOULDA BEEN WEED … LIKE, POTHOLE

A pothole in Toronto, Ontario, got new life as a vegetable garden this summer after area residents grew weary of waiting for the city to repair it. The hole, which is several feet deep, had been expanding for months, neighbors said. So they filled it with tomato plants, now ripening and getting so tall they need wire cages for support. Now, “It’s sort of, like, become the community garden,” resident Bryan Link told CBC Radio. Finally, Mayor John Tory has agreed to not only fill the pothole, but to move the tomato plants to a community garden.

ALL’S WOOL THAT ENDS WOOL

An unnamed Irish teenager’s hike became fodder for bad punsters after the boy was hit by a falling sheep while walking in Northern Ireland’s Mourne Mountains. The sheep fell from a crag on Aug. 17 and landed on the boy, who was treated for potential injuries to his head, neck, back, abdomen and leg.

“It is believed the sheep was uninjured and left the scene unaided,” reported Metro News. Punny comments on a social media post made by the Mourne Mountain Rescue Team included: “Mutton been looking where he was going, I bet he’s feeling a little sheepish now” and “Ewe want to be careful on the mountains!!” weirdnewstips@amuniversal.com

FREEWILL ASTROLOGY

THE AMAZON, JULIUS CAESAR, SADNESS & GOATS ARIES (March 21-April 19): Now’s a great time to feel, explore, understand and even appreciate your sadness. To get you in the mood, here are novelist Jonathan Safran Foer’s sadnesses: sadness of could-have-been; of being misunderstood; of having too many options; of being smart; of awkward conversations; of feeling the need to create beautiful things; of going unnoticed; of domesticated birds; of arousal being an unordinary physical state; of wanting sadness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do you have feral qualities lurking deep inside? Ever had a mad yearning to communicate in howls and yips instead of words? Do you sometimes eschew forks and scoop the food from your plate with your fingers? Ever dreamed of running through a damp meadow under a full moon for the sheer joy of it? Do you experience such strong erotic urges you could weave your body and soul together with the color green, the sound of a rain-soaked river or the moon rising over the hills? Now is a fine time to draw on your feral qualities’ instinctual wisdom.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Close some doors today,” writes novelist Paulo Coelho. “Not because of pride, incapacity, or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.” In my astrological opinion, practice the rough but fine art of saying NO. It’s time to make crisp decisions about where you belong and where you don’t; where future fulfillment is likely to thrive and where it won’t; which relationships deserve your sage intimacy and which push you toward mediocrity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): To casual observers you may be an amorphous hodgepodge, a simmering mess of semiinteresting confusion, or an amiable dabbler going in too many directions at once. In my opinion, casual observers are wrong. What’s closer to the symbolic truth about you is an image described by poet Carolyn Forché: grapes ripening in the fog. Another image that goes with your current state: sea turtle eggs gestating beneath the sand on a misty ocean beach. One more: bright yellow flowers of the evening primrose, which blooms only at night.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I want to be sure the groove you’re in doesn’t devolve into a rut, so here are questions to spur your imagination in unpredictable directions. Ready? 1. How would you describe untapped riches in the shadowy part of your personality? 2. Is there a rare object you’d like to own because it would foster your feeling that the world has magic and miracles? 3. Imagine the perfect party you’d like to go to and how it might change you for the better. 4. What bird most reminds you of you?

5. What’s your most evocative, inspiring daydream?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): By volume, the Amazon is the world’s largest river.

But where does it start? Scientists have squabbled about that for more than 300 years.

Everyone agrees the source is in southwestern Peru.

But is it the Apurímac River? The Marañón? The Mantaro? Each has a good argument. This question is poetic subtext as we wonder about the origin of your life force. Just like the Amazon, your source has long been mysterious. That’s going to change in the next 14 months. The clarification process begins soon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When Warsan Shire was a child, she immigrated to the UK with her Somalian parents. Now she’s

a renowned poet who writes vividly about refugees, immigrants and marginalized people. To give support and inspiration for the part of you that feels like an exile or fugitive, and in accordance with astrological omens, here are words from Shire. 1. “I belong deeply to myself.” 2. “Document the moments you feel most in love with yourself–what you’re wearing, who you’re around, what you’re doing. Recreate and repeat.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Once in a while came a moment when everything seemed to have something to say to you.” So says a character in Alice Munro’s short story “Jakarta.” That message is your horoscope’s key theme, because you’re at the peak of your ability to be reached and communicated with. You’re willing to be keenly receptive, strong enough to be deeply influenced. Is it because you’re anchored in your understanding and acceptance of who you are?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1928, novelist Virginia Woolf wrote a letter to friend Saxon Sidney Turner. “I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading,” she confided, “since one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs 10 others at the same time.” I usually tell Sagittarians to focus on one or two important things instead of several semi-important ones. Adopt Woolf’s approach to books–to everything. Your life in the weeks ahead should be less like an acoustic ballad and more like a symphony for 35 instruments.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Not many goats can climb trees, but there are daredevils in Morocco that do. They climb for the delicious olive-like berries on argan trees. The branches on which they perch may be 30 feet off the ground. They’re your power creature for the weeks ahead. You’re ready to ascend higher in search of goodies. You have the soulful agility needed to transcend earlier levels of accomplishment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): From 49-45 BC, civil war wracked the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar led forces representing the common people against armies fighting for the aristocracy’s interests. In 45 BC, Caesar brought soldiers to Roman territory in North Africa to launch a campaign against the enemy. As the general disembarked from his ship, he slipped and fell. Thinking fast, he exclaimed, “Africa, I have tight hold of you!” and clasped the ground, implying he’d lowered himself in a ritual gesture of conquest. He changed an apparent bad omen into a positive one. And he won the battle, the turning point that led to victory and war’s end. That’s good role modeling.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Here are sweet words by poets I love. Use them to communicate with anyone primed to be lyrically intimate with you. Reach out! 1. “You look like a sea of gems.” – Qahar Aasi. 2. “I love you with what in me is unfinished.” – Robert Bly. 3. “Yours is the light by which my spirit’s born.” – e.e. cummings.

4. “Tell me the most exquisite truths you know.” – Barry Hannah. 5. “It’s very rare to know you, very strange and wonderful.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald.

6. “When you smile like that you are as beautiful as all my secrets.” – Anne Carson. 7. Everything you say is “like a secret voice speaking straight out of my own bones.” – Sylvia Plath.

BONGWATER Sweetwater’s newest offering packs SMOKE IN A BOTTLE

LAST MONTH, THIS COLUMN BROUGHT GOOD tidings from the Big Peach, Atlanta, where, on Friday the 13th of July, the SweetWater Brewing Company debuted their 420 Strain: G13 IPA. That stuff went over about as well as you might expect from a high-end craft beer that smells like Laughing Grass, and so it was just a matter of time before the product achieved wider distribution. That day has finally arrived, and the G13 has exploded out into the marketplace like smoke from the door of a hot-boxed van.

The company’s official “Talking Head,” Tucker Sarkisian, was gracious enough to send me a few samples of the beer, which we’d slugged with quiet dignity, fresh from the tap at their facility.

420 Strain is now available in 16-ounce bottles and cans; the packaging features an all-black color scheme, with the classic fish in white and gangsta-style lettering on the label. Aesthetically, it’s a marked departure from their usual colorful designs, an understated backdrop for a beer with tons of personality.

There is nothing subtle about this beer. It’s strong—6 percent ABV—and slightly bitter, as one might expect an IPA to be. The various ingredients (2-Row, wheat, flaked oats, Columbus and Simcoe hops) combine to give it a kind of sharpness that dances on your tongue and carbonation that sustains. It pours clean, dark and golden, with little head. The gimmick, of course, is the robust aroma and subtle flavor of Flower, Fine Stuff, Fuzzy Lady, if you will, an effect achieved

100 percent legally with the addition of strainspecific terpenes and a proprietary hemp flavor. It’s a head-turner, that’s for sure.

The G13 IPA is just the first in a planned line of 420 Strain beers from SweetWater, and clearly the market is primed for it. (See Pint-Sized, page 30.) They sold nearly 10,000 cases in just the first week of release, and they’ve already got it on tap at over 1,300 locations around the country, several of which can be found near you, wherever you happen to be. Participating retailers include Whole Foods, Winn-Dixie, ABC, Total Wine and Broudy’s. You can also find it on tap at establishments like Dick’s, Graffiti Junktion, M Shack and Mellow Mushroom, and more to come throughout Florida and Georgia.

The roll-out process is still underway, so it’s best to call your favorite suds spot and ask them if they carry it. If they don’t, suggest that they do.

The SweetWater brand is a fixture at many local bars, but the proprietors may not be aware that it exists yet. To find a location near you, or to suggest one, just plug in a zip code at sweetwaternbrew. com, designate a driver and go for it. You won’t regret it, unless you drive tipsy, in which case a DUI will be the least of your problems.

FOLIO VOICES : BACKPAGE EDITORIAL

“My professor told me the email was a copy of the letter I sent to Mayor Shaver along with criticism of how Flagler College teaches their students– using my correspondence as an example to indicate that I AM ILLITERATE AND THEY SHOULD BE ‘ASHAMED.’”

IN RECENT MONTHS, THERE HAS BEEN A TREND of white women arming themselves with their womanhood against people of color, specifically black people. While this isn’t new, social media and the urge to record these interactions have put them on such a nationwide scale that these women have been given nicknames, like BBQ Becky and Permit Patty. Frankly, it’s about time people are publicly confronted and shamed for their unwarranted fear of black people. This thread of white supremacy and anti-blackness says to black residents: “I do not give you permission to exist comfortably in this space.” White women are given the autonomy to play the victim and feign innocence when confronted about a wrongdoing, but it’s past time that we stop allowing this to happen. With that being said, it would be wrong and hypocritical for me not to confront these situations in my own life.

This past spring break, I went on an alternative trip with an organization at my school, Flagler College. During the trip, we were told by the organization we were working with to write letters to our representatives on a topic we felt passionate about. Since the trip was based on helping the population of people experiencing homelessness in Washington, D.C., many people in the group, including me, decided to write to Mayor Nancy Shaver to discuss the issue of homelessness in St. Augustine. In my letter, I wrote that I believed the people experiencing homelessness in St. Augustine are over-policed and ignored, and that I would not be voting for her in the upcoming election as well as advising my friends not to vote for her. Most of us sent the letters to Shaver’s address and then moved on to sending letters to other representatives of our choosing (I decided to send my second one to the head of the school board in St. Johns County).

Time passed, school continued, and I completely forgot about the letter until April 6, when I received a Facebook message from Nancy Shaver at 8 p.m. The message asked if it was me who had sent her the message, because the return address was the school address. That wasn’t to avoid hearing back from her—I just lived on campus at the time.

But I told her it was me and we exchanged a few emails. She did send one that was very

MAYORAL SHAMING professional, detailing her role in helping the homeless population and suggesting I help out at an upcoming event. I unfortunately couldn’t help because I already had a service project that day. The only problem I had with that particular email was her saying that the problem was with panhandlers—because to me, panhandlers aren’t a problem; the lack of affordable housing, resources and funding for programs are the true problem.

A few days after we exchanged emails, my professor stopped me to talk after class.

I assumed he wanted to talk about me not turning in my last assignment and prepared to give my excuse on why my work was late.

But he wanted to speak to me about an email from the mayor that was sent to the head of the Communications Department, who at the time was Dr. James Pickett. My professor told me the email was a copy of the letter I sent to Mayor Shaver along with criticism of how Flagler College teaches their students— using my correspondence as an example to indicate that I am illiterate and they should be “ashamed.” This threw me off, because everyone else on the trip I’d spoken with said Mayor Shaver hadn’t reached out to them directly, nor did she to attempt to contact them through other means. In other words, she definitely didn’t email their professors. Yet she singled me out.

I was not just angry because she reached out to my professors, but at what the email indicated—the idea that I wasn’t smart, nor deserved my position in school. These are the very same ideas I’ve had to fight against ever since being accepted into Flagler College, as if my blackness and their need for a diversity boost is the only reason I’m a student there.

But that wasn’t the only problem: The mayor, who is meant to represent and

acknowledge constituents, and their wants and needs, decided to publicly shame me for a misplaced comma on a handwritten letter sent from an alternative spring break trip that was devoid of laptops and computers. I know that I am privileged to be a college-educated woman and not all of her constituents can say that. Does that mean if they try to reach out to her to address issues they see in their community and make a spelling error or send a handwritten letter, she will attempt to publicly shame them as well?

I did respond to Mayor Shaver and voiced my discomfort with her messaging my professors, as well as informed her of the irresponsibility and unprofessionalism she showed in attempting to humiliate a constituent who tried to reach out to her.

I informed her that there is a lot of racial tension in St. Augustine right now and that singling out the only black woman to write her from that particular spring break trip could look bad on her part. Her response?

To ignore the reason for the letter (emailing the Communications Department), bring up the Confederate monuments, and advise me to learn how politics in St. Augustine works. I, however, was under the impression that residents were supposed to reach out to their representatives so that they can more easily represent them. I’d like to note that since I transferred my voter registration from Atlanta to St. Augustine in my freshman year, nearly four years ago, I am now a resident of St. Augustine and should be acknowledged as such.

Sharing this story may seem late and long overdue; I needed time to focus on my schoolwork for the end of the semester. But I’m sharing it now because it’s important for me to tell my story. I refuse to allow white women to weaponize their sensitivity and make black people appear as aggressors. I cannot preach that we must hold each other and others accountable if I do not hold those same women accountable. So here I am, telling my story and trying to be heard. Thank you for hearing me.
