Title Bombardment of Reims Cathedral Postcard Alternative Title Notre-Dame de Reims Postcard Subject Churches--Europe Cathedrals--Europe World War I, 1914-1918 Description A postcard depicting the front gate of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims, or Our Lady of Reims, during the years in which it was bombarded by the German Army in World War I. Originally the site of the coronation of the French kings, photographs of the destruction of cathedral were used as propaganda images by the French against the Germans. This photographs shows rubble from the bombardments near the principal entrance to the cathedral. This postcard is part of a collection of postcards kept by Lucile Campbell, a schoolteacher in Sanford, Florida, for 30 years. In 1931, she took advantage of a special rate for teachers and sailed to Europe, where she traveled for several months and is thought to have acquired many of these postcards. During the 1940-1941 school year, Campbell taught at Sanford Grammar School. Before her retirement in 1970, she taught at many other area schools, including the Oviedo School, Westside Grammar School, and Pinecrest Elementary School. Campbell used these postcards as aids in her classrooms to teach advanced subjects, such as Shakespearean drama. The collection, along with her other teaching aids, papers, and photographs, was later found at Sanford Grammar School after it became the University of Central Florida's Public History Center. Campbell's postcard collection and photographs provide insight into the life of a respected Florida educator.

Alternative Title St. Johns River Near Sanford Subject Saint Johns River (Fla.)--History Postcards--Florida--Saint Johns River Rivers--Florida Description Postcard of the St. John's River near Sanford. The St. Johns River is the longest river in Florida and is widely used both commercially and recreationally. The St. Johns begins in Indian River County and flows north all the way to Duval County, where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Much of the land along the river remained undeveloped frontier land up until the twentieth century. Many of Florida's rivers, including the St. Johns became overdeveloped and was altered for agricultural and residential centers, which caused severe pollution and other detrimental effects to the natural environment.

Title Celery Growing, City of Jacksonville Steamboat in the Background Alternative Title Celery Cultivation Subject Waterfront Districts Lakes & ponds Lake Monroe (Seminole County and Volusia County, Fla.) Steamboats--Florida--St. Johns River--History Farm workers Water transportation Celery industry Sanford (Fla.) Description Postcard of a celery farm along the riverfront with the City of Jacksonville steamboat in the background. The origins of Sanford's connection to celery farming began on December 26, 1894, when a freeze damaged the area's citrus groves. They began to recover during a warm and wet January which promoted new shoots, but a second freeze hit on February 7, 1895, practically wiping them out. The 24 degree temperature was the coldest known in Florida to that point. The freeze was so intense that the sap froze inside the trunks, many of which split open, sounding like gunshots, and crashed to the ground. The population quickly dropped from 5000 to 2000 as the groves were abandoned. I.H. Terwilliger stayed after the freezes and is believed to have planted the first celery grown in Sanford in 1896. J.N. Whitner and B.F. Whitner Sr. planted 3/4 acre in 1897 with celery imported from Kalamazoo, Michigan. Chase & Company also converted to celery cultivation and by 1898, celery became the crop synonymous to Sanford. By the mid-1880s, Sanford, Florida had become a major distribution center due to the city's strategic location along Lake Monroe and the St. Johns River. Even before Florida obtained statehood, steamboats frequented the St. Johns River carrying U.S. Army soldiers to Fort Mellon, located on the shores of Lake Monroe, to defend the area against Native Americans during the Seminole Wars. Steamboats were used at the fort and during the Battle of Camp Monroe to relocate Seminoles, explore the St. Johns River, and to distribute military forces. During the second half of the 1830s, steamboats were used to tow barges from the river to Lake Monroe in order to stimulate trade. The first commercial steamboat was developed as the Brock Line in the early 1850s. As trade grew, various wharves and docks were built in locations such as Mellonville Avenue, Palmetto Avenue, Oak Street, and Sanford Avenue. The Debary-Baya Merchant Line began transporting passengers in 1883, which further developed the steamboat industry. The line was purchased by the Clyde Line in 1886 and remained open until 1933. The growth of railroads was the primary cause of the decline of the steamboat industry. Abstract Width: 32.5 ft. Depth: 6.6 ft. Length: 160 ft. Tonnage: 548 gross and 395 net. Rig: sidewheel.

Title Abstract of Military Service for Carl Oscar Anderson Alternative Title Abstract of World War I Military Service Subject World War, 1914-1918 Veterans--Florida Description The abstract of military service for Carl Oscar Anderson (1893-1918). The card includes Anderson's name, age, race, serial number, place of birth, unit and ranks, death date and cause and who was notified of his death. In this case, Anderson's father received the news. Carl Oscar Anderson was born on March 3, 1893 in Orlando, Florida to parents Axel and Augusta. He was the third of five children. Around 1913, the family moved to Miami, Florida, where Anderson found work at Melrose Dairy. On June 5, 1917, he registered for the draft, and on October 6, 1917, he was inducted into the United States Army. Throughout his service, Anderson maintained the rank of private as he served in multiple units in his first eight months. Then, on June 20, 1918, he departed for France and became part of Company B of the 30th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Division. He and his unit likely participated in the Battle of Meuse-Argonne. On October 3, 1918, Anderson was killed in action, likely during the advance to Bois de Beuge. His legacy lives on, memorialized on the Lake Eola Tablet in downtown Orlando.

Subject World War, 1914-1918 Veterans--Florida Description A list of persons in Clearwater, Florida, who failed to submit questionnaires regarding conscription to the Adjutant General of Florida. The document is dated January 30, 1918. Local draft boards sent out a sixteen-page questionnaire, which asked questions about virtually every aspect of registrants’ lives, their economic dependents and their claims for an exemption or deferred classification. Registrants had seven days to return the form. The Form 1013 lists the names of men within the jurisdiction of local draft boards who failed to return their questionnaires or report for examination. Classified as delinquents, the draft boards would report their names to the police who would seek to check their status. The penalty for failing to submit a questionnaire resulted in a registrant waiving their claims for deferred classification and automatically being classified in Class I. A notable person listed is Ben Davis (1895-1947). Born in Charleston, South Carolina, Davis moved to Clearwater, Florida, where he worked as a laborer for H.K. Cheney. On August 1, 1918, the United States Army inducted Davis into military service. Davis trained and served at Camp Devens, Massachusetts, for the entirety of his time in the military. Initially with the 151st Depot Brigade, he joined the 443rd Reserve Labor Battalion on November 1, 1918. On May 30, 1919, Davis received an honorable discharge from the Army, holding the rank of Private First Class. After the war, Davis returned to Clearwater, where he continued to work as a laborer. On October 20, 1944, Davis married Annie R. Leach, a native of Gainesville, Florida. Davis died on December 28, 1947, and is buried in the Bay Pines National Cemetery in Saint Petersburg, Florida in Section 6, Row 3, Site 16. In 2017, the University of Central Florida was one of three universities selected to launch the National Cemetery Administration’s <a href="https://vlp.cah.ucf.edu/">Veterans Legacy Program Project</a>.

Title Abstract of Military Service for Amasa Edward Hoyt Jr. Alternative Title Abstract of World War I Military Service Subject World War, 1914-1918 Veterans--Florida Description The abstract of World War I military service for Amasa Edward Hoyt Jr. The document includes Hoyt's name, Army serial number, race, residence, where he enlisted, place of birth, birth date or age, organizations served in, grades, engagements, wounds, time served overseas, discharge and reason for discharge, any disability acquired during service, and any other remarks. On the back, the continued remarks note that due to an act of Congress in 1936, Hoyt’s discharge status was changed to an honorable discharge. Hoyt was discharged for lying about his age on the form. Born on April 7, 1903, in Binghamton, New York, Hoyt enlisted in the United States Army on May 13, 1918, at the age of fifteen. He was discharged on August 31, 1918, when the Army discovered that he lied on his enlistment form. This dishonorable discharge would have made it impossible for Hoyt to be buried at Florida National Cemetery. However, an Act of Congress on March 3, 1936, upheld that soldiers who sought to serve before the legal age be “considered to have been honorably discharged,” recognizing their desire to serve their nation during wartime. Hoyt later served in World War II as a second lieutenant, and his unit occupied Berlin during the post-war period. He was eventually appointed as a postmaster for Florida by President John F. Kennedy. Hoyt passed away on November 22, 1989, and is buried in Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell.

Title Maitland Historical Museum Collection Alternative Title Maitland Museum Collection Subject Maitland (Fla) Museums--Florida Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records contributed by the Maitland Historical Museum. The museum is located at 221 West Packwood Avenue in Maitland, Florida. Present-day Maitland was originally inhabited by the Seminole tribe, which called the area "Fumecheliga," meaning "Musk Mellon Place." In 1838, Fort Maitland was established on the west coast of Lake Maitland by the U.S. Army and named after Captain William Seton Maitland, a casualty of the Seminole Wars. Settlement in Maitland expanded at the close of the American Civil War and the citrus industry grew. Around 1876, Dr. Haskell formed a syndicate and began contruscting a railroad from Jacksonville to Maitland that was completed in 1880. In 1885, the area was incorprated as the Town of Lake Maitland. Many left Maitland following the Freeze of 1894-1895. Despite the freeze's devastation, the citrus industry was able to grow and expand, reaching its peak in 1926. More growth occurred in the 1950s and 1960s with the development of the space industry in nearby Orlando and Brevard County. In 1959, the city was renamed Maitland. Growth continued in the 1970s with the arrival of Walt Disney World in the Orlando area.

Agnew to Isaac Vanderpool (May 21, 1895) Alternative Title Vanderpool Correspondence Subject Maitland (Fla.) Wholesale trade--Florida Description A letter from George B. Agnew to Isaac Vanderpool, dated May 21, 1895. On behalf of the National Produce Company as its secretary and treasurer, Agnew offers a business deal with Vanderpool in regards to the purchase of Florida fruits and vegetables for the wholesale market. The National Produce Co. was a produce wholesaler based at 635 Liberty Street in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Vanderpools were one of the original families in Maitland, Florida, with Isaac Vanderpool, the patriarch of the family, buying 160 acres of land in the year 1870. In 1876, after facing a large financial loss and disaster in New York, Isaac and his wife, Harriet Vanderpool, permanently moved to the Maitland area. At the time of their arrival, the area only had about four or five family homesteads and orange groves. Vanderpool was part of the first committee to help incorporate the town of Lake Maitland. The committee included Vanderpool, Henry S. Kedney, George Packwood, and Richard Packwood. The Vanderpool family was also heavily involved in civic affairs, which included the establishment of the town of Eatonville by Vanderpool and Josiah C. Eaton. The Vanderpools were paricipants in the creation of the Florida Audubon Society and the organization of the Maitland Public Library. Harriet Vanderpool, along with Bishop Henry C. Whipple, founded the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, and, in 1927, she wrote the "Maitland Song," which the chamber of commerce adopted as the official song for the city. In 1887, Vanderpool became Mayor of Maitland and during this time, acquired land for the city first cemetery. In 1892, he built the first packinghouse in Maitland, which was featured in TheGate City Chronicle as the state most modern and best packinghouse.

Description The new Downtown Orlando Post Office building, located at 51 East Jefferson Street, in 1958. The original post office was housed in the Federal Building, located 44 East Central Boulevard in Downtown Orlando, Florida, from 1917 to 1941. In 1935, when James Beggs, Jr. became the postmaster, he began petitioning to move the post office from its Central Boulevard and Court Avenue location to a more spacious building. In 1939, St. James Catholic Church sold a plot of land on Jefferson Street for the new building. The building was designed by Louis A. Simon in the Northern Italian Palazzo Revival-style, and was constructed by J. P. Cullen and Sons. The new building opened in 1941 and housed the post office, the courthouse, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices. The building was named an Orlando Historic Landmark in 1989. However, it was eventually sold back to the St. James Church. In 2003, the building was renovated and came under joint ownership by both the church and the federal government. Today, the building retains its post office services but also includes offices for the Catholic Diocese. Document A resource containing textual data.

Clubs--United States Description A newspaper article written by Kelly Allen and published by The Seminole Chronicle in July of 2008. The article chronicles the history of the Oviedo Woman's Club (OWC), which was founded in 1906 as the Oviedo Magazine Club by seven charter members: H. B. McCall, Edith Meade, Georgia Lee Wheeler, Lillian Lee Lawton, Mattie Aulin Wheeler, Milcah Yonge, and Mary King. The first clubhouse was constructed in 1914 and also served as Oviedo's first library. In 1916, the club joined the FFWC and officially changed its name to the Oviedo Woman's Club. In 1923, the woman's club was federated under the umbrella of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs (GFWC). A new clubhouse was built in 1961 on property donated by R. L. Croom, a former member, which is located at 414 King Street. The Oviedo Woman's Club is involved in many civic projects, including the annual Great Day in the Country Arts and Crafts Festival, the Spring Fundraiser, Tasting Luncheons, and Celebrate Spring Teas.

VOLUME 1, NUMBER 4 OCTOBER 12,1994 GAYS IN THE LOCAL MEDIA FAIR SHAKE OR SHAKEDOWN? by Rafael Harris Gasti John Rose and Rev. George Crossley on Channel 24’s Opinion Street. Whether you’re gay or straight, a well-traveled sophisticate or a couch potato, images of homosexuality are everywhere. From PBS’ pixilated Tales of the City, to Channel 2’s investigative report on homosexual encounters in public parks, to The Orlando Sentinel's “Woman Seeks Woman/ Man Seeks Man” TelePersonals, these images are beamed into living rooms and bedrooms and delivered to front doors. For many, these images alone define gay and lesbian experience. The influence of the media, particularly television, on popular culture can hardly be overemphasized. This is particularly true when media images are not balanced by real life experience. In Central Florida, these media images of homosexual experience have enormous power, because gay culture and political influence are emergent, and a conservative climate still dissuades many from coming out to family and friends. And make no mistake.. .in the media business, where patronage reflects profits and where viewers and readers mean dollars, images of homosexuality are enormously popular. At once sexual and political, titillating and avant garde, news stories and dramatizations addressing elements of gay experience are commonplace; a sweeps week staple. But are these images balanced? Do they truly reflect gay and lesbian experience? Three local gay activists, John Rose, Saviz Shafaie, and Brian Arbogast de Hubert-Miller, have made it their mission to research and then address these issues, in letters and phone calls, and in the board rooms of local media outlets. Their combined experience is both interesting and instructive. Gay advocate John Rose, a native of Orlando, speaks adamantly about the issue of censorship and the need for a diverse, gay-affirming media in Central Florida. Years of activism have mellowed Rose somewhat, but a glimpse of his renowned verbal fireworks is always near the surface. Despite shortcomings, he notes with pleasure that “there has been soTrie substantial improvement concerning gays in the local media.” Brian Arbogast de Hubert-Miller, a Community Advisory Board member at WMFE-Channel 24, was more guarded in his assessment of the local media. He maintains pointedly that “money talks,” and that money and politics in conservative Central Florida can be used against the unpopular or unempowered to trivialize and render them invisible. Meanwhile, with the demeanor of a thoughtful pacifist, fellow Channel 24 Community Advisory Board member Saviz Shafaie notes that local media have moved away from a focus solely on the exotic and bizarre, like sex crimes and extremes in self-expression. He lauds the appearance of “some gay-sensitive material rather than none,” and he is cautiously optimistic about the future. Supporting Shafaie’s optimism, Rose pride-fully notes the recent progress made at PBS affilliate Channel 24. (Note, Channel 24 was Continued Page 8 CANDIDATES MEET FOR MBA FORUM < Echoing Mmionofgay$ and lesbians, candidates for local elected office joined in a Candidates Forum sponsored by the Metropolitan Business Association, Thursday October 6 at the Moderator Tom Dyer opened the forum, which featured a five minute presentation by each candidate followed by a brief question and answer period,: by explaining his criteria for choosing a candidate and issued that as a challen^ to each of the present- ers, ^ “Before 1 consider voting for any person for any office, I ask myself it this is someone who will work to eradicate discrimination against gays and lesbians.

The county will become thie first in the state to offer the tests to people applying for a driver’s license. Testing began last week. “It’s our belief the only way to combat this disease in an effective prevention program is to get out to the population,” said Mark Geisler, executive director of the County AIDS task force. The tests are given in a small motor home belonging to the Lee County Public Health Unit on Fridays. The test costs $30. It will be free to anyone unable to pay. Results are confidential and take about three weeks. Lee County has 760 reported AIDS cases. FORMER ORLANDO AN HEADS STONEWALL CINCINNATI Former Orlando resident and gay activist, Cindy L. Abel, has been selected as the Executive Director of Stonewall Cincinnati. Cincinnati was thrust into the political spotlight in 1989, when local politicians sought to censor an exhibit of works by respected gay photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Since then, conservatives and gay activists in Cincinnati have clashed repeatedly. Abel owned a marketing and public relations firm in Orlando, and served as vice president of the Rainbow Democratic Club. She was also a board member of the Metropolitan Business Association. She is a member of the Board of Governors of the Human Rights Campaign Fund, and prior to accepting her current position was Director of the Privacy Project, and chair of Floridians United Against Discrimination. Stonewall Cincinnati is a non-profit organization specializing in education and advocacy on behalf of lesbians and gay men. HIV-AIDS INSTITUTE ENDS AFFILIATION WITH UCF The HIV-AIDS Institute is leaving the University of Central Florida after an eight-year relationship. Founded in 1986, the Institute grew out of a grant from the Florida Department of Education and a need for current information on HIV disease. The Institute created UCF’s HIV-AIDS Education Office, which will remain at the university, and “Info-maniacs,” an award-winning peer education program. Although never officially approved as an institute by the Board of Regents, UCF allowed it to be housed in the College of Health and Public Affairs. Funding for the Institute has come primarily from fund-raisers and grants. Institute President Sharon E. Douglass stated that the Institute was never content to be campus bound. The Institute is presently seeking new office space. Anyone wishing to help should call (407) 679-9312. ALACHUANS FIGHT TO KEEP ANTI-DISCRIMINATION PROTECTION beyoad, Alachua County activists m fighting to maintain a county ordinance which includes sexual orientation in the county’s Human Rights Act in Match, 1993* barred discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in any county business or employment standards* Since then, die Concerned Citizens of Alachua County have collected enough signatures to enter two initiatives cm the November 8 ballot. The first —• County Initiative I - would remove the sexual orientation clause from the county’s Human Rights Act The second, Charter Amendment 1, would forever bar the inclusion of sexual orientation in county-wide discrimination protections. In an effort to fight the Concerned Citizens of Alachua County, die “No On One” Coalition has been formed. According to spokesperson Georg Ketelhohn, “We are building coalitions in Alachua County which include business leaders, clergy* county and city commissioners, and university faculty who will be holding forums and press conferences to discuss too negative impact that such a measure would have on our community, We will also be mounting a media campaign, including radio, television and print advertising, which will get die message out to the voters,” Ketelhohn said. The Concerned Citizens of Alachua County is rumored to be affiliated, at least unofficially, with the American Family Association and its leader, David Qrlandoan Carol Bartsch, of the Florida Federal Advocacy Network (FAN) (affiliated with the nationwide Human Rights Campaign Fund], underscores die importance of the Alachua County referendum for the central Florida area. “As a university community* Alachua County is perceived as more progressive, We believe that die AFA thinks that if they can win in Alachua, it will only get easier for them, Orlando may very well be die next target,” Bartseh said, House parties will be held in Orlando and across the state in the coming weeks to brief people on the events in Alachua County and to raise money for the effort to fight the initiative. For more information on Oriandohouse parties to support“NoOnOne,“ contact Carol Bartsch at (407) 293-0240, CANDIDATES From Page 1 Pignone’s opponent in the November 8 election, incumbent Linda Chapin, declined, citing a previous engagement. Chapin did however send Shawn Rader, a friend of the chairman’s, to apologize for her absence. Pignone spoke warmly of the gay and lesbian community as the emotional center of her candidacy. “When I come to speak at a group like this, I’m at my most personal, my most emotional,” Pignone said. “You are my heart and soul.” Pignone was at her most passionate when asked about the fate of culture and the arts in Orange County. As a lifelong devotee of opera, Pignone was one of the few county commissioners who voted to allot the last $50,000 in an attempt to save the symphony. She was saddened the attempt failed. “Intuitively, I think it is easier to keep an institution alive than it is to recreate it. I know that we must try to keep these things — the arts, dance, opera — alive to give the people of our community, particularly the young people, options and outlets,” Pignone said. County Commission District 6 incumbent Mabel Butler, however, was not as supportive of such a measure when she rose to give her presentation. “I’m a B.B. King fan myself,” Butler said. Then turning more serious, Butler said that a county-funded institution like the symphony would better serve the entire community if it was made accessible to all of the citizens of the county. “If the taxpayers of Orange County are going to pay for something like a symphony, bring it to all of the people. Don’t just leave it to those who can afford to pay for it,” Butler said. During her remarks, Butler empathized with the gay community, saying that her life has been lived in the shadow of discrimination. She indicated she would be support- ive of any measure that would ensure the protection of the rights of ays and lesbians. “I’ve been discriminated against all my life.. .be it black.. .be it woman. I’m not for any kind of discrimination,” Butler said. Butler’s opponent, Charlene Mitchell, did not respond to MBA’s invitation. One of the warmest responses of the evening was reserved for Deborah Blechman, candidate for County Judge Group 5. As a long-time supporter of the gay and lesbian community, Blechman has become a regular figure at a number of gay and lesbian functions. “I doubt there is anyone here who has not heard me speak,” she joked. Later in her remarks, she commented on the dilemma that is faced by candidates who publicly declare their support of gay and lesbian issues. “When I received my invitation and saw that all of the candidates would be there, I thought ‘Oh, no.. .the mainstream press will be there.’ I wasn’t sure I had the courage to do it. I said to [Rainbow Democratic Club board member] Mark Anderson ‘Don’t make me target practice.’ When I got home, COUNTY CHAIRMAN CANDIDATE FRAN PIGNONE: “You are my heart and soul.” I was ashamed of myself for that...The problem is that there is a climate of hate andmtmeranceout there that is very frightening, even for me as a candidate,” Blechman said. Blechman’s opponent, George Winslow, declined MBA’s invitation. The forum attracted both candidates in only one race: Circuit Court Judge, Group 28. Roger McDonald, who has previously addressed MBA, spoke first. He discussed his position on gay and lesbian issues, as well as his support of Florida’s current privacy laws. “We are lucky that in Florida we have one of the very few state constitutions which specifically refers to a right of privacy. The interpretation of that right will be left in the hands of the circuit and appellate court judges in the coming years. I am a firm believer in the right of privacy for all the citizens of the state, not just selected groups,” McDonald said. McDonald’s opponent, Bob Wattles, followed him at the podium. In his candidacy, Wattles has declared that he will not accept campaign contributions from lawyers or STATE SENATOR BUDDY DYER: “[ask why] some candidates aren’t here.” law firms. “As a judge, i must oifey »*Uit)fiaato gy,. even playing field. Tcannotbe beholden to anyone who comes into my courtroom,”he said during his remarks. Incumbent District 14 State Senator Buddy Dyer was confrontational during his impromptu presentation. “I’m not as polite as some of the other candidate who are here. I think you should think about what it means that some candidates aren’t here,” Dyer said. Dyer also railed against a wave of intolerance that exists in the Florida legislature. “People like [State Senator] Ander Crenshaw can say something like ‘I won’t knowingly hire any gay people’ and somehow that is alright. It’s outrageous,” Dyer said. Nancy Patterson, Dyer’s opponent, declined MBA’s invitation. The final speaker in the forum was also its most emotional. Louise Ray, candidate ler State Representative, District 33, has made gay rights a central issue in her campaign to unseat Marvin Couch, who declined MBA’s invitation to attend. WATERMARK / October 12, 1994 4 NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL NEWS GAYS NATIONWIDE WORK TO RE-ELECT ROBB IN VIRGINIA RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Homosexuals across the country are working to re-elect Sen. Charles S. Robb, whom they regard as a leader with the courage to condemn discrimination against gays despite the obvious political risks. The Human Rights Campaign Fund, a national gay political action group based in Washington, has made Robb’s campaign against Republican nominee Oliver North one of its top priorities. “The radical right views Chuck Robb’s convictions on lesbian and gay equality as a weakness, and will attempt to use this against him to defeat him,” executive director Tim McFeeley wrote members. “We need to prove that Chuck Robb can beat the radical right this year in Virginia.” The fund has contributed the maximum allowable, $10,000, and several members of the fund have held private fund-raisers, McFeeley said. David Mixner, a gay-rights leader from California, mailed an appeal to several thousand homosexuals nationwide soliciting contributions for Robb. At Richmond’s annual Lesbian and Gay Pride Parade earlier this month, some participants said they were motivated as much by support for Robb as they were by opposition to North. Robb, a Marine company commander in Vietnam, has spoken out for efforts to include gays in the military, provided they don’t engage in behavior that is disruptive or bad for morale. North, a Marine who also served in Vietnam, has been a strident critic of gays in the military, sending out fund-raising appeals that described President Clinton as “the point man...for the radical homosexual lobby.” OPPONENTS OF ANTI-GAY PROPOSAL GAIN LEAD BOISE, Id. (AP) - Opponents of the controversial Idaho anti-gay initiative have pulled out in front in their campaign against the Idaho Citizens Alliance, according to a new public opinion poll. The poll, conducted for KTVB-TV in Boise, KHQ-TV in Spokane, Wash., and The Spokesman-Review newspaper’s Idaho edition, said 44 percent opposed the proposition while 35 percent supported it. The remaining 21 percent said they were undecided. The poll of 808 randomly selected registered voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. The survey was conducted during the final three days of September. The results on the anti-gay initiative, which would prohibit state or local laws protecting homosexuals from discrimination, were in direct contrast to another independent survey conducted about five weeks earlier. That poll by Greg Smith and Associates and Tracy Andrus had 49 percent of the respondents favoring the initiative and 43 percent opposing it with a margin of error of just under five percentage points. Supporters of the initiative, which drew only a few thousand more valid signatures than required to win ballot status, say it is a pre-emptive strike against what they call the gay agenda. They claim it will only prohibit homosexuals from receiving special rights. But critics, who include virtually every civic and political leader in the state, have called it a bigoted, divisive proposal that would actually strip homosexuals of their basic civil rights. Because of the strident language being used in the debate, some analysts are concerned that the undecided bloc in all the polls are actually supporters who do not want to admit to holding a position that many see as hateful. MARYLAND APPEALS COURT TO DECIDE VISITATION RIGHTS OF GAY FATHER ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - David K. North can visit his three daughters for several hours on the weekend, during the daytime only. No holidays, no overnight visits. That’s because a judge doesn’t believe the gay, HIV-positive North - now living with his lover - can be trusted to hide his homosexuality from his children. North’s appeal of that 1993 ruling has given the Maryland Court of Special Appeals its first chance to decide whether homosexuality is a reason to limit the rights of a parent. “It’s a very important question. We need more loving parents rather than fewer, and to disqualify a homosexual because of that status is a pretty outrageous thing to do,” said Stuart Comstock-Gay, head of the American Civil Liberties Union in Maryland, which is helping represent North. North’s former wife, Kathryn Dionne North, had sought to terminate his visitation rights completely after learning that her ex-husband, a former Baptist minister, is gay. Instead, a judge denied North overnight visits with the girls, ages 9, 6 and 3, letting him have unsupervised visits on Saturdays and Sundays. In 21 of 25 states where the issue has been decided at the appellate level, courts ruled that a parent’s rights cannot be limited solely because he or she is homosexual and living with a lover, said Natalie H. Rees, a lawyer appointed by the appeals court to represent the girls. In June, the Virginia Supreme Court overturned a judge’s ruling denying a lesbian custody of her son. The judge had ruled that being a lesbian made her an unfit mother. Mrs. North allowed liberal visits until North told her in 1992 that he is gay and that he and friend, David York, were involved in a relationship. One reason Circuit Judge Audrey Melbourne cited in limiting North’s visitation rights was that he could not be trusted since he continued to have sex with his wife after learning he had the AIDS virus. “The court finds that the defendant is not candid, is not responsible and is deceitful,” Melbourne said. “The court will therefore not trust defendant’s promise not to display his homosexual lifestyle to the children.” Gerald Solomon, one of North’s lawyers, agreed it was wrong for North to continue having sex with his wife. But Solomon said North’s ability to care for the children is all that matters in the pending dispute. And the lawyer noted that state social and mental health workers said North was a good father and the girls enjoyed their visits with him and York. Both agencies supported liberal visitation rights. North said Thursday he did not know when the court would rule on his appeal. North wants his daughters for overnight visits, holidays and vacations and said he would not do anything that might expose them to the virus. The former minister, who once preached that homosexuality is a sin, also wants to tell his children that he is gay and would like his former wife to join the discussion. “But given her adamant feelings about the evils and abomination of homosexuality,” he said, “that’s just not going to happen.” Connie Lancaster Sales Consultant The Service You Deserve The Finest Selection of New or Pre-Owneq Mercedes Benz Other New and Pre-Owned Models Available Glauser Mercedes Benz 6828 S.

Thomas Sherck said his sponsors withdrew their support of his membership application to the California Golf Club of San Francisco after learning he was homosexual, because the club did not want homosexuals as members. He sued both the club and his sponsors, Dennis and Ray Youngdahl, under the state’s Unruh Act, which prohibits businesses from discriminating against customers on various grounds. State courts have ruled that discrimination based on sexual orientation is banned by the law. The club, which is based in South San Francisco, argued that Sherck was rejected solely because his application was not sponsored by two members, as its bylaws required. A San Mateo County Superior Court judge agreed with those arguments and dismissed the suit, but it was reinstated by the 1st District Court of Appeal in a ruling made public Thursday. Sherck quoted the club’s membership committee as asking him whether a bar that he owned was a “straight bar.” That evidence, which was rejected as irrelevant by the Superior Court judge, is relevant to the question of whether Sherck was excluded because of his homosexuality, the court said. Sherck also said a friend quoted Dennis Youngdahl as saying, “How dare you ask us to bring in a gay guy?” Though it is hearsay, that statement is admissible against the club, as a “declaration against interest,” because the Youngdahls were the club’s representatives, the court said. RELIGIOUS PROTESTERS CONDEMN GAY PARADE JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Hundreds of people, some dressed or cross-dressed in wild clothes and colors, marched through Johannesburg on Saturday to celebrate gay and lesbian rights in post-apartheid South Africa. A handful of religious protesters condemned the marchers, but the procession was mostly a festive affair that ended with a party in a city park. Paul Stobbs, chairman of the Johannesburg gay and lesbian pride parade, said South Africa’s new constitution was the only one in the world that prohibited discrimination against sexual orientation. The constitution took effect with the nation’s first all-race election in April that ended white rule and brought Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress to power. Similar marches have occurred in previous years despite South Africa’s strong religious heritage that condemns homosexuality. To a heavy disco drumbeat, the male and female marchers - some dressed in satin, lace or leather - snaked through downtown streets to the amusement of most onlookers and the dismay of others. “Sodomites, turn or bum, Jesus saves lives,” said a placard held by one protester. A marcher hit at a poster and organizers had to prevent other scuffles from breaking out. Reacting to heckling from protesters, a group of women marchers chanted: “Two, four, six, eight, how do you know your wife is straight?” FUNERAL HOME "5901 S.

(AP) - A new test for measuring how much of the HIV virus an infected person is carrying could help scientists determine what treatments are best for controlling the virus that causes AIDS. “It is possible, and I think probable, that these tools may be able to predict more accurately which treatments will be most effective in managing HIV infection,” said Dr. James Rooney, associate director of the infectious diseases department at RTP’s Burroughs Wellcome Co. The British drug company discovered AZT, the first treatment for AIDS. Scientists say the standard blood test now used to detect AIDS is reliable, but may not detect antibodies until several months after the virus has invaded the body. It also does not work for the newborn babies of HIV-positive parents. A new test created by scientists at Roche Biomedical Laboratories has been able to detect the virus before antibodies appear, said Dr. Bruce McCreedy, the company’s director of infectious diseases and clinical trials. The test became available in April and is one of two methods for measuring a patient’s “viral load” - the amount of genetic material from HIV in the blood plasma. Roche Molecular Systems is in the early stages of developing a test kit allowing doctors and researchers to use the new technology. The test is now only available as a paid service through the company. STUDY DETERMINES MOTHER TO CHILD AIDS SPREAD ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A study of AIDS-infected mothers found that the more virus they carry in their blood, the greater the chance they will pass it on to their babies just before birth or during delivery. The research suggests that checking a mother’s viral levels during pregnancy can guide doctors in choosing the right drugs to protect the unborn. It also helps explain why only about 1 in 4 infected mothers not treated with anti-AIDS drugs actually passes the virus on. AIDS infections in newborns are particularly devastating, often killing youngsters much faster than adults who catch the virus. Recently, doctors have found that giving pregnant women the AIDS drug AZT can significantly lower the transmission rate, from 25 percent to 8 percent. Dr. Barbara Weiser of the New York state Health Department presented the latest work, conducted on 27 HIV-infected pregnant women, at a conference Wednesday of the American Society for Microbiology held in Orlando. Currently, pregnant women who are infected receive AZT pills beginning at 14 weeks of pregnancy and intravenous AZT during labor. Babies also receive the drug during their first six weeks of life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 6,600 HIV-infected women gave birth last year, and they had 1,720 infected babies. The CDC’s Dr. Susan F. Davis said that if all of them had gotten AZT, as many as 1,200 of these newborn infections could have been prevented. Doctors believe the risk of transmission from mother to child is highest late in pregnancy and during childbirth. HISPANIC WOMAN WARNS COMMUNITY OF ITS ENHANCED RISK TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Stubborn cultural traditions increase the risk of AIDS in the Hispanic community, says a Tampa-area woman. Maria Caride, 27, has educated herself since she being positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, in 1990. Now she goes anywhere she can to educate Hispanics about AIDS prevention. But education is difficult in a culture where talk of sexuality and condom use is taboo, she said. “I was never taught about sex and condom use. If someone would have taught me about safe sex, I wouldn’t be in this situation now.” Hispanics are contracting the disease faster than any other ethnic group, according to the U.S. surgeon general. While Hispanics make up about 10 percent of the nation’s population, they account for 19 percent of AIDS cases in the country. And, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Hispanic women represent one-third of all new AIDS cases. Hispanic AIDS activists say until Hispanics overcome cultural differences and shatter the stigma associated with the disease, the numbers will only get worse. Women in Hispanic families simply don’t talk about sex, activists say. Hispanic men present a different set of problems, they say. Attitudes about sex are often primitive, and males are encouraged to be dominant. The Latin machismo eschews condoms - studies show Latin men just won’t wear them, the Hispanic activists complain. Then there is the influence of the Roman Catholic church, which has espoused abstinence over condoms. “Hispanics prefer to cover up the problem instead of dealing with it,” said Hispanic AIDS activist Olga Companioni of Tampa. h the financial strains I illness... we can give |tur life insurance policy.

Susan Leahy of Blue Cross/Blue Shield MA -Inc., the largest U. S. health insurer to provide domestic partner coverage to customers and employees, explains that, “In a vastly competitive market for health services, companies are looking for ways to attract candidates and maintain a workforce.” Many companies hesitate to insure same-sex couples, worrying that it will increase AIDS claims. However, Andrew Sherman, vice president of the Segal Co. and one of the forces behind the Blue Cross and Lotus domestic partners coverage, says that gay couples may actually be less expensive to cover because they are often younger and usually don’t have children. Sherman explains that domestic partners coverage is “a recognition of human capital, wanting to have the best employees possible. A lot of companies have already put non-discrimination policies in place and see this as a continuation.” Send the 'orld's Best!

Assistant to Executive Vice-President Malcom Wall promised a statement, but none was forthcoming). Rose believes that previous impasses between Channel 24 and Central Florida’s gay community have been turned into a “win-win situation.” When Tongues Unta documentary about gay blacks, was shown in 1991, Channel 24 received numerous complaints. The documentary was brash and graphic. In your face, so to speak, and while not patently offensive, Rose laughs, “perhaps not wholly representative of the entire gay community.” But then in the summer of 1992, PBS affiliates were offered the much milder drama, The Lost Language of Cranes, a family tale about a gay son and his troubled father who begins to recognize his own homosexual tendencies. The film was never shown by Channel 24, presumably because of a gay kiss and a chaste bedroom scene. Offended by this unacceptable censorship of a widely-praised film, local progressives and gays Saviz Shafaie: “Gays need to take the initiative.” organized and demanded to be heard. Challenged outright, Channel 24 set up a series of community meetings. But according to Rose, Channel 24 sought to intimidate the 50 gays and lesbians in attendance by separating them from a “mainstream” liberal group consisting of the ACLU, Central Floridians United Against Censorship, and others committed to free speech issues. There was a firestorm of criticism, but after a series of meetings protesters were told the film would not be aired on Channel 24. Despite this negative result, Rose feels that consciousness was raised. He described the meeting as the first “give and take” between a local TV station and the progressive/gay community, and a real learning experience for all parties involved. In particular, Channel 24 learned that they could negotiate reasonably with this segment of the population, and in fact, they accepted many of the protesters’ proposals. Two representatives from the progressive/ gay community were added to the Channel 24 Community Advisory Board. Importantly, a policy prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation was included in Channel 24’s equal employment opportunity guidelines. Rose was quick to assert that for the most part the employees at Channel 24 are gay-friendly. “It’s the management who worry unduly about losing donor support.” Shafaie remembered the foregoing events very well. But accentuating the positive, he described programming such as Silverlake Life, which he characterized as a “tasteful special” about a gay couple dealing with AIDS. He also noted Bill Moyer’s supportive special on the Colorado anti-gay referendum, and the indefatigable John Rose’s appearance on Channel 24’s locally produced talk show, Opinion Street. Rose referred to himself as the show’s first “token gay panelist.” The show was heavily edited, but Rose was able to make some points. When guest panelist George Crossley, a fundamentalist preacher, simplis-tically blurred AIDS and homosexuality, Rose jumped. He detailed soundly how the HIV virus is rampant among heterosexuals in sub-Saharan countries in Africa, as well as in the United States. AIDS, he assured Crossley, is a universal disease—not a uniquely gay disease. Like many PBS affiliates, Channel 24 is a financially tight ship. Rose indicated that the mobile nature of the Central Florida community creates a relative lack of consumer support for public broadcasting, and thus an increased “dependence on local business and foundations.” The same observation was made by Orlando Sentinel columnist and former TV writer Greg Dawson in a recent Watermark interview. Such dependence can lead to undue influence. Homophobic attitudes can creep in and sway programming judgment. A case in point was the highly rated Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City. Ironically, Tales' twentysomething lead gay character, Michael Tolliver, hails from orange-grove Orlando. The program aired was sanitized.. .pixilated.. .to avoid shocking perceived local sensibilities. What was fuzzed out? A little adult language and brief, shadowy nudity in bohemian San Francisco. Despite the thunderous success of this production nationwide, PBS responded to the outcry of a few conservative Congressmen by cancelling a proposed sequel. Regardless of the package or production, it seems that homosexuality is an uncomfortable issue for local public broadcasting. Brian Arbogast de Hubert-Miller agrees, but has a stronger assessment of the role played by Channel 24 management. He is adamantly more interested in results...in programming.. .and not surface phraseology. While he conceded that there have been “some technical improvements” in the Brian Arbogast de Hubert-Miller: “Money Talks.” management’s recognition of sexual minorities, he avowed that “there has been no progress in programming whatsoever since we [Shafaie and Arbogast] came aboard.” Arbogast was disappointed that Channel 24, citing scheduling and economic difficulties, recently chose not to rebroadcast Tales of the City and The Lost Language of the Cranes. They also chose not to show related interviews with Armistead Maupin and AIDS activist Larry Kramer. Arbogast depicts Channel 24’s board of trustees as “extremely conservative,” and described himself and Shafaie as being “token members of the Community Advisory Board.” He elaborated that the organization “listens behind the scenes but does nothing up front.” According to Arbogast, Channel 24 is decidely “not proactive” and they repeatedly need to be “prodded.” He underscored the fact that Orlando is a conservative stronghold with little visible gay leadership, unlike New York, Boston, or San Thinking About Real Estate?

A recent programming change has thrown an additional kink into the advancement of gay-themed programming at Channel 24. Rose called it “limited purchasing programming,” which means they now buy programming from PBS in blocks, then choose programs from within that block. Arbogast noted that this arrangement may be of “strategic benefit” to the heterosexist Channel 24 Board of Trustees by providing them with “plausible deniability” to “subtly neglect” gay-themed programming; to “backslide while a cadre of conservatives in Congress argue over the direction of PBS.” Channel 24 recently dropped the issue-oriented Point of View, for instance, which included a gay-themed segment. The net result, according to Arbogast, is that reluctant, indifferent, and cautious corporate donors such as SunBank and General Mills are being appeased. One note of success that Shafaie decribed was the March, 1994, Channel 24 pledge campaign. Openly gay and lesbian volunteers raised $7,349 in audience pledges, exceeding expected goals. Although an audience boycott was mildly anticipated by Channel 24 management, they openly presented the names of a cross-section of gay and lesbian organizations during breaks from a Peter, Paul, and Mary concert. When questioned about local network affiliates, Channels 2,6 and 9, Rose, Shafaie and Arbogast described a common tendency to sensationalize. On a national level, say with Barbara Walters, there appears to be discernible sensitivity towards gays, but this has not trickled down to the intensely competitive local market. Arbogast specifically criticized Channel 6, noting that when they report on gays, it is usually with an unnecessarily provincial tone. Rose also jumped on 6, noting that their “tendency to sensationalize inspires the worst bigots.” Channel 6 was also one of the Continued Page 9 Snellen IX IFagin Attorney and Counselor at Law Family and Relationship Issues Wills, Trusts and Estates General Practice Complimentary ONE-HALF HOUR CONSULTATION for Watermark readers (407) 425-0025 16 W.

LOCAL MEDIA From Page 8 few CBS affiliates to yank Other Mothers, an after-school special about a lesbian couple and their teenage son, from broadcast. Rose characterized this as overreaction to a call-in campaign by fundamentatist Christians. He notes that the special was devoid of any racy or sexual content, unlike the “straight” soaps broadcast the same afternoon. With respect to Channel 2, Arbogast figuratively rolled his eyes, offering his opinion that the station has “sunk to new lows” with “inflammatory” investigative reports. In a recent sweeps week expose, 2 reporter Scott Hanson looked for sex in public parks and discovered a pair of anonymous “homosexuals.” Rose also bemoaned cashing in with this unrepresentative and misleading titilla-tion. Rose accused Channel 2 of “painting with too wide a brush,” and noted the absence of coverage on the rise of courtship and marriage among lesbians and gay men. Channel 9 was notably more balanced while openly gay weatherman Burd Bullock was alive, according to Arbogast. Today, he says, treatment of lesbians and gay men on 9 is tolerant, though superficial. But the perceived impact of Bullock’s presence at Channel 9 demonstrates the significance of a surprising fact. Not one of the three local network affiliates includes “sexual orientation” in their employee non-discrimination policies. In fact, rumors aside, there are no openly gay or lesbian local broadcast personalities. Whether consciously or by neglect, the message is clear: sexual minorities are not openly encouraged in local broadcast media. Orlando’s largest and most influential media outlet, The Orlando Sentinel, also has no specific, codified employment protection based on sexual orientation. Supervisor Chris Austin points out, however, that the Sentinel's owner, the Tribune Company, has a “diversity program which includes some sensitivity training” on minorities, including gays. In terms of content, the Sentinel is dismayingly inconsistent in its approach towards lesbians and gay men. lire Sentinel has demonstrated balanced coverage and steady improvement in news and editorial content, while remaining timid and provincial in policies relating to advertising. Arbogast, who plays close attention to the Sentinel's content, states that he has seen “increased coverage” on gay-related events and topics. But he notes that, in terms of headline prominence, placement and pictures, coverage of sex crimes involving two males is still sensational and unbalanced. For example, Dr. William Zink’s high profile and controversial case alleging molestation of young male patients was front page news. Crimes against young female minors are rarely publicized or explored in such detail. As a result, Arbogast argues, “the public [not only] receives a distorted impression of the nature of sex crimes,” but far worse, the public receives a muted impression of the prevalence of healthy, adult same-sex relationships. In fact, such relationships are largely ignored by the Sentinel.. .except in their lucrative TelePersonals section, where such relationships may be sought for a price. In a broader context, Arbogast notes that there is “disproportionate coverage of the ‘antisocial’ behavior of minorities,” reinforcing their marginalization and scapegoating as “other” and “not mainstream.” Even so, he observes that newspaper coverage of gay issues has improved, particularly with increased wire service coverage. The Sentinel also recently launched a campaign to recognize diversity and increase coverage of minorities. And specific columnists have consistently written thoughtful columns on gay-related issues. Greg Dawson, Jay Boyar, Bob Morris and Myriam Marquez stand out. Some Sentinel style policies remain laughably outdated and illogical, however. Although the words “gay,” “lesbian,” and “homosexual” are allowed in news and editorial pieces, Sentinel policy apparently limits or forbids their use in classified ad- vertising. Repeated attempts to clarify these policies went unanswered, but the experience of two local businesses is instructive. In June of this year, Watermark's editor and publisher, Tom Dyer, attempted to place an employment ad in the Sentinel: “Advertising Sales Manager for gay and lesbian publication.” The ad was accepted but then changed to “alternative lifestyle publication” without notice. Dyer complained, and his original ad was run after he convinced management that the words “gay and lesbian” described the nature of the job, not the employee sought. Just a month later, Stephen De Matteis of Pre-Flight Travel Services had a similar experience when seeking a “Travel Agent with gay/lesbian travel experience.” Again, the Sentinel had to be convinced to run the ad as requested. On a more positive note, the Sentinel recently revised its policy regarding the listing of gay companions in obituary notices. It now does so with the permission of the family via funeral directors. Sadly, it may be in the obituaries that healthy gay relationships are first recognized by mainstream media, and that many lesbians and gay men first become visible. Looking to the future, Rose notes the need for openly gay news people and media board members. He cites the Woodard case (see story this issue) and its impact on the demise of former Orange County Sheriff Walt Gallagher as a positive example of the power of the press to do good for the gay community. Shafaie calls for gays to “take the initiative [with local media] and speak with a clear voice.” Arbogast warns against prior negative conditioning, and suggests the need to build stronger alliances and coalitions within the gay community. He also observes that in some situations, nothing works like “picketers beating the bushes.” Ultimately, decision makers in local media are governed by both the bottom line and by the limiting psychological dynamics of perceived difference.

Gary Fowler did a terrific job putting that piece together. We really enjoyed doing the interview. What a friendly and professional staff you have at Watermark! After we saw the front page photo, however, we realized we had neglected to give credit to our wedding photographer. She did such a fantastic job and the photos came out great. If you need a photographer, for a wedding or otherwise, we recommend her to you: Astarita Art & Photo. One wonderful side aspect of the wedding was discovering the number of resources available within our community. For example, we registered for gifts at Scott Laurent Galleries in Winter Park. They welcomed our patronage. Shelbie Press printed our wedding invitations. They made us feel completely relaxed and comfortable as we made our choices of paper, ink, etc. Where in the world would you go for same sex wedding invitations? There are so many who helped make our wedding a success. To our family and friends, we thank you. And to those of you in our community who provided the much needed and appreciated services, thanks for being there. (Mrs.) Carol Bartsch & Kim Newton Best wishes and remember to announce your first anniversary with us. Editor Dear Miss O’Lay, I want to let you know how much I enjoy your column. Your work gives Watermark balance. In fact, I did NOT appreciate the reader’s letter that appeared in Watermark assailing your column. I would like to tell that person to his face that he would NOT be able to write letters to Gay publications had it not been for the efforts of the people who frequented the Stonewall on that fateful night in 1969. What the Gay community does not need at the present time is divisiveness; what it DOES need is a more tolerant attitude... all for one and one for all... as well as a sense of humor. I always believe in giving credit when credit is due. Keep up the good work! Most Sincerely, Jim C. Miss O’Lay conveys her appreciation. She lives for her fans.

Crescitelli You never know whether or not the last time you see somebody is going to truly be the LAST time. We humans are blessed with brains and emotions and the capacity to love, but are nonetheless incapable of predicting the events in our lives. Everybody had a best friend in high school, and mine was Donald. We debuted as gay teenagers in our senior year and immediately began sneaking off to the bars. We were young New Yorkers in the early ‘seventies, able to do anything, and the city was our oyster. We thought we were the most enticing creatures on earth. Week after week, month after month, we posed and preened and drank innumberable gallons of white wine, all in pursuit of, hopefully, being noticed. We rarely were. Glamorous and sophisticated as we appeared to one another, we invariably ended up on the subway with only each other, heading back to Brooklyn. “There’s something wrong with us,” Donald said one night as we left the West Village. “We spend too much time with each other looking AT men instead of concentrating on looking FOR men.” “Yeah, you’re right,” I yawned. “People must think you and I are lovers, because we’re always together.” “Yeah.” It was true; we went to school together and cruised the clubs together; we had dinner with each other, went to Broadway, the movies, galleries... “We’re lovers without the sex,” Donald decided another time. “Right?” I agreed, “Sad, isn’t it?” The few times we did manage to meet somebody were when Donald or I found ourselves alone for a few minutes, usually when one of us had to use the restroom. Then the suitors would pounce - never the ones we wanted, but suitors nonetheless. They would all ask the same thing: “Is that Glamorous and sophisticated as we appeared to one another, we invariably ended up on the subway with only each other, heading back to Brooklyn. other guy your lover?” Donald and I would laugh about them on the phone the next morning, wondering how two handsome creatures like ourselves were constantly striking out on the field of love. It went on like that for a few years, and then I moved to Florida. I read To Kill A Mockingbird and Gone with the Wind in eighth grade and decided “the South” was where I wanted to be; I vowed to one day relocate somewhere below the Mason-Dixon line. Nobody told me at the time that Orlando hardly brought to mind the kudzu- covered South featured in those books, but I chose Orlando because I had a friend living there. Donald was beside himself. He wanted to fold himself into my suitcase and come with me, but this was something I had to do alone. We kept in touch and saw each other at Christmas when I would fly up to be with my family. We would drag out the yearbook and monopolize gatherings at friends’ homes with detailed analyses of our fellow graduates. He would tell me how popular he had suddenly become, and I suppose it was the lack of my presence during his now-solo Saturday nights that persuaded him to test his wings. And fly he did. The last time I saw him was a year before he died, but I had spoken to him not two weeks prior to his entering the hospital. Our phone call had been the usual three-hour remembrance of things past, with updates thrown in for good measure. Donald had recently lost his mother, and he was telling me how strange he felt and how much he missed her. “It’s like she’s waiting for me,” he said, and I was chilled. I heard through "..other friend that Donald had collapsed w home and had to be taken to the emergency room. A couple of frantic phone calls to his hospital bed went unanswered, and then, after two weeks, he was gone. I would never see him or talk to him again; I had had no idea our last telephone conversation was going to be just that. Friends told me he went quickly. The news filtering back to me was heartbreaking: “He could hardly even write us notes.” “That hospital he was in had no idea how to treat AIDS patients.” “He didn’t have to die from pneumonia.” I went up for the funeral, a crowded Irish affair, and saw the faces of friends, shocked, older. Did I look like that? I’d known him for such a terribly short time. As I said, we never know. And now I can finally say goodbye. DON’T LOOK SO DYKEY by Rosanne Sloan “Don’t look so dykey,” I heard Donna say the day my picture was taken for the paper. “Don’t look so dykey,” she cried. But when I was growing up, no one told me I didn’t have to be a man to love a woman. I was the neighborhood tomboy. No one messed around with me, boys or girls. If you were a part of my gang, no one bothered you either. By the time I was six, I had already promised Patty Arnold, with her blonde bologna curls, that we would get married, have two kids, and I would go to work and make lots of money. By eighth grade I had other girls fighting over taking care of my tree fort, making me heart-shaped angel food cakes and bandaging my scrapes. So many that I had forgotten about Patty. This was a pivotal point in my “gay” life. (I didn’t consider myself a lesbian yet. I was too tough to be one of “those.”) It was eighth grade graduation from Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, and all the girls were shopping with their mothers for pretty, white, Laura Ashley dresses. I told my mother under no circumstances would I wear one of “those.” I had to wear a skirt for school, but now I was going to wear what I wanted. So we went to Lord & Taylor’s and bought a very nice, pleated, beige, three-piece suit. At graduation, I couldn’t help noticing that the other girls looked beautiful, and I was “handsome”. For one brief moment, with their eyes twinkling at me, I wondered if I could be more like them. Had I had a role model like Amanda Bearse, perhaps I would have learned earlier than age 22 that is was okay for a woman to love another woman, and I, too, was a beautiful “lesbian.” It was along hard journey from that eighth grade of 1979 to the family gathering in the winter of 1986, yet some things seemed unchanged. I wished my breasts were bigger when the waitress turned to my mother and said, “My, you have two handsome sons.” And my mother, darting daggers at me, silently screaming, “See. Why do you have to look so dykey?” I could hear Barbara Streisand as Yentl singing in my head, “Look how easily I fool them. They may have eyes, but they don’t see. They never really look at me. People are blind.” My style was always the tailored look. I first justified this preference by calling it my Catholic-school-preppy look; later it was my androgynous look. Women seemed to like it - enough to fall in love with me -but then each would begin trying to change .. .1 wished my breasts were bigger when the waitress turned to my mother and said, “My, you have two handsome sons. ” me. It usually started with the length of my hair, then some make up, some nail polish, and finally, ultimately, “let’s get rid of these clothes!” “Wait a minute!” I’d snap, “There’s the front door, thank you - I like myself as I am.” Wasn’t it enough for them to love the woman I was in bed? The soft and tender girl longing to be loved in her satin boxers and ginny-t’s? Wasn’t it that person in pleated Gap pants, pocket T and worn penny loafers that captufSd'TTtew-atwnTWrr to begin with? I refused to deny what I was; a lesbian with a masculine flair. Yes, indeed.. .a long, hard journey from the summer of 1979; yet some things have changed. My mother called this morning to tell me she has made an appointment for a family portrait. There is a stipulation, though. In her most authoritatively feminine voice she tells me not to dress “casual.” I know what she means by that.. .no manly attire. She waits for a fight but I don’t give her the satisfaction. Instead, I tell her not to worry, that I have the perfect outfit in mind; a one-piece dress with a vest, finished off with my pearls and small heels. Okay, the dress is pleated and the collar is tailored, but I like it that way. It’s my Catholic-school-preppy look. And my mother will think Donna has done wonders with me by making me quite the femme. The truth is, I can see the woman in me through Donna’s eyes, because she loves all of me, including the strength of my body, heart and mind. Every day I get to wear what I want. Why should this occasion be any different?

VWWWVWWWWWWWfl WATERMARK / October 12,1994 13 Members of the lesbian a cappella group, THE RHYTHM METHOD (plus one) at the Kickoff Fundraiser for the Orlando Gay Chorus: (clocwise from left) Michelle D’Arcy, Meladye Shively, April Gustetter, Rachael Hazen, and Marla VUbsson. HARMONIC CONVERGENCE Colorado’s The Rhythm Method by April L. Gustetter It was a rainy Saturday afternoon when four women from Denver, Colorado sat down to be interviewed before going to a soundcheck for their next gig. The kickoff fundraiser for the Orlando Gay Chorus’ musical season would soon be competing with the weather, but neither their harmony nor spirits would dampen. Later that night, they would stand under a tent as the heavens opened, singing a cappella to a modest but appreciative crowd. The lesbian a cappella singing group is The Rhythm Method (TRM), and if you missed them in person, pick up one of their CDs or cassettes at Out & About - a unique and delightful sound (and a fun bunch o’ gals). Like all good harmony, this group is made up of distinct voices. As one of three original members of TRM, Michelle D’Arcy began her musical journey in grade school, singing in the chorus and competing in performances with her french horn. Perky and petite with dark, bright eyes, she hails from a singing family, has sung all her life, and (yes) plays guitar. Witty and outgoing, Marla Wasson is another original member. She is the daughter of barber shop quartet singers, and a sister among five siblings who, growing up, stood around the piano while her mother played. Originally a music major, Marla switched her academic direction to business .. .which has obviously come in handy being a singer. (Right.) Meladye Shively is the third original member of the group, and another brought-up-on-music-guitar-playing gal. Meladye’s penchant for melody took her straight to voice lessons in high school (hated it) and, of course, the chorus. Meladye and Marla are life partners who chuckle when explaining how much togetherness that entails. The last to join, but certainly not the least, Rachael Hazen revealed, “My very first solo was in second grade - I sang ‘Rocky Mountain High’ in my music class.’’ From there, she did the choir/chorus thing throughout her academic career, and performed in as many productions as she could. Rachael writes and arranges many of the songs, and when she has hair, she’s the only blonde in the group. When asked about the group’s name, all four members chattered at once. Rachael spoke above the others, “We all had the assignment of coming up with a name, so I went home and called one of my old girlfriends. We agreed that the name had to have something to do with sex, because if it didn’t it wouldn’t be marketable.” Apparently, by the exclamations of the others, this was a never-before-told version of the story, so we all listened with interest. “She was in Maryland and I was in Colorado, so we both whipped out our copies of Our.Bodies and Ourselves, flipped through the book, and there it was....” Rachael trailed off, but Meladye piped in. “When Rachael came and told us what she and Kate thought of, I immediately liked it, because -1 didn’t even think about the sex thing -1 just loved it because it was like ‘pun intended’ - we’re a lesbian quartet, and I thought it was a great little left hook to all those Catholics!” Everyone roared in agreement, and the tone of the interview was set; even in conversation, they teamed up splendidly. “We’re an a cappella-out-lesbian group, which I think makes us unique,” said Marla with a trace of defiance. “We’re right out there with our work. We don’t change pronouns, we write songs about girls and we sing songs about girls.” Asked about their beginnings, Meladye opened. “We all met in the Denver Women’s Chorus.We just kind of formed a friendship out of huddling together through that. Then we were at a party one time where Michelle had brought her guitar, and we all sat around and sang with her. We talked about what a ‘nice little blend we had,’ and ‘wasn’t this fun,’ Continued Page 21 When presented with an idea for a major Hollywood motion picture, one might question a film about a cross-dresser who is ‘‘the worst director of ail time.’* it does present possibilities to comment on Hollywood and die motion picture in- . dustry; the comic potential of an inept director is considerable, and such a film could even make an artistic statement about transvestism. Unfortunately, no such elements can be found in Tim Burton’s disappointing E# Wood, This film misses many of its golden opportunities, and instead finds itself bogged down by an uneventful screenplay fall of underdeveloped subplots and oae^imea-sional characters, Ed Wood is the true life story of Edward D, Wood, Ir.t the man who brought us such sci-fi B-movie cult classics as Bride of the Monster and Orgy of the Dead, The movie starts with Wood as a fledgling playwright, whose cross-dressing tendencies interest him in directing a film about a half man/balf woman. Although Glen or Glenda . is a terrible flop, he is driven to make more movies, He meets and befriends horror film star Bela Lugosi and makes B-film after B-film attempting to resurrect Lugosi’s career and establish his own. As his works accumulate, we watch the framework for his most remembered work, Plan 9From Outer Space, take shape, In the process* Wood achieves his dream to act, direct, and star in his own work - just like his idol, Orson Welles, : " The main problem in Ed Wood is the lack of depth of its title character, Indeed this Ed Wood is as much an anti-hero as the real Wood is the anti-Welles, Johnny Depp (looking like Ricky Ricardo on Ritalin) gives a funny, energetic and consistent performance, bat we never know what is going on under the surface of his optimistic grin and arching eyebrows. Wood undergoes no change in the film; he is neither a better person nor a better director by the film’s end. The movie tries to create a climactic plot point when Wood actually meets Orson Welles and is advised, “Visions are worth fighting for/* Wood’s visions aren’t. :' The most enjoyable part of the film is Wood’s relationship with Bela Lugosi played to perfection by Martin Landau. At times his resemblance V to the real Lugosi is frightening. Landau gives a hilarious, off-color, and touching performance as die aging morphine-addicted former Dracula star, The one outstanding achievement of Ed Wood is that it manages to make Lugosi sympathetic, and it is he whoremains with us when the movie ends, Tim Burton is probably the most logical di- Continued Page 20 WATERMARK / October 12, 1994 14 ARTFUL LIVING Rollins College Annie Russell Theatre 1994-95 Season ”63 Years of Theatre Excellence” The Mystery of Edwin Drood OCTOBER 21,22, 26-30, 1994 OUR TOWN DECEMBER 2, 3, 7-11,1994 Edward Villella Miami City Ballet JANUARY 13-14, 1995 wmterfest II JANUARY 19-28, 1995 A Month in the Country MARCH 10, 11, 15-19, 1995 Daniel Ezralow’s Heart Dances APRIL 7-8, 1995 Rollins Dance APRIL 9, 1995 The Learned Ladies APRIL 28, 29, MAY 3-7,1995 Call NOW for season Tickets!

Last weekend in South Beach, I finally got to see the film. Priscilla is a road picture telling the tale of three drag queens making their way across the Australian outback. The acting (Terrence Stamp, Guy Pearce, and Hugo Weaver) and the direction (Stephan Elliott) represent the finest in Australia’s hot new cinema. A big improvement over the days of Crocodile Dundee and the like. The drag routines are excellent, with “I Will Survive” and “Finally” being the standouts. More important, this film offers us character development and presents the leads as people with feelings. It’s really not the campy, comedic send up you might expect. There is a well fleshed-out story involving homophobia, several sub-plots, and most of all, lot’s of heart. The film does drag however (pun intended) in parts and there were moments when I secretly hoped Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock would hop on this bus and give Priscilla some Speed. In the end, Priscilla has dignity, is lot’s of fun, and is well worth the trip. TRUE ROMANCE: A dear friend gave me the newest Miguel Bose release “Bajo el Signo de Cain” and it turned out to be a lovely deja vu experience. I first heard this CD blasting in a crowded black jeep while speeding and laughing through the streets of Manhattan en route to the Streisand concert back in July. What a gas to return to Orlando and be reacquainted with this wonderful, upbeat music through the kindness of a friend. Bose is starting to gain more attention in the U.S. (partially due to his pretty-boy looks.. .check out the photo on the back of the CD) and it’s about time. OK, I don’t speak fluent Spanish, and I don’t understand the lyrics, but for some reason I just don’t care and I can’t stop listening. Give Bose a listen and you’ll understand exactly what I mean. SINEAD ON HEADPHONES: Sinead O’Connor’s new release “Universal Mother” recently hit the record stores. Not as commercially accessible as her popular “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got” nor as funky as her debut “Lion and the Cobra,” but there is a purity and passion in this collection of songs. After reading the liner notes on the CD, I took Sinead’s advice and listened on headphones and let the CD play in its entirety. Back-to-back are a cover of Kurt Cobain’s plaintive “All Apologies” and O’Connor’s own desperate “A Perfect Indian.” Definitely not for the suicidal. There is a song written and performed by O’Connor’s eight-year-old son, Jake, “Am I a Human?”.. .not to worry, it’s less than a minute long. The outstanding cut “Scorn Not His Simplicity” is a maternal plea for understanding and represents some of this accomplished and controversial artist’s best work ever. If you’re a Sinead fan, you’ll enjoy this new release. KEEP EATING AND EATING...at Thornton Park Cafe, since it reopened not too long ago.

Orange Avenue • Orlando 872-6960 There are no words to describe the exquisite, individually prepared dishes at Moorefield’s. Suffice it to say, this is gourmet dining at its best. Margaret Moorefield (yes, there is really a Moorefield) is the owner and executive chef; her life partner, Kara Pritchett, is the hostess, one of the servers, and accountant. Together, their passion for their restaurant comes alive as the meal and good conversation grows throughout the dining experience. But a great mystery exists here.. .a whispered question: Why don’t they associate themselves more with the gay community? After getting lost for nearly an hour (I haven’t mastered the south and north ends of Orlando’s streets yet), my partner, Donna, and I were ravenous. On arrival, Kara escorted us to our table, where my eye caught a glimpse of one of the paintings; a larger-than-life sized picture of a naked man, seemingly erect, with wings soaring through the air. Moorefield’s is fronted by floor-to-ceiling windows, and watching the expressions of passersby is high entertainment. Normally they stop only to gawk. Their loss. We were there to dine. We began our meal with the homemade toasted garlic Gnocchi with garlic sauce. The appetizer was delicately decorated with shredded carrots and red pepper. Margaret’s Southwestern flair doesn’t stop there. Donna ordered the pan-seared Alaskan Moorefield’s accepts all major credit cards. Open 11:30A-2:30PT-F, Dinner 6-10P T-Th / 6-12P F-S.

Theatre Review by Dimitri Toscas NIGHTCLUB CANTATA %jr> SecondStage, Civic Theatre of Central Florida * Salmon with a Habanero (pepper) lime butter, and a yellow tomato salsa. This artistic plate was complemented by thin slices of boiled potato and shredded lemon peel I had the Hickory smoked Jamaican Jerk pork loin with Poblano barbecue sauce. My dish was completed with a wonderful carrot-corn bread and potato black bean cake. Donna delved into the walnut cheesecake torte and lost herself totally. Tempted by her moaning, I tried a bite. Never have I tasted a dessert so delicious. It made my conservative apple cobbler seem disappointing, which it wasn’t. Moorefield’s is a taste of heaven lost in a community with uneducated palates. Moorefield’s is not just about fabulous food but about two women struggling to survive. During the course of the evening, Kara pulled a chair over like an old friend and filled us in. While Margaret Moorefield is humble about her talent, wearing a traditional chef’s outfit and checking the dining area periodically, Kara is the energy of the establishment. That energy has an undertone of anger. We learned they felt abandoned by the gay and lesbian community. Unfortunately, they didn’t advertise with the community when they first opened, and now their funds are limited. They want their business to thrive in Orlando and within the gay community. And so do we. Rosey’s Rating: ★★★★★/GGG. Civic Theatre’s SecondStage steals the spotlight again. Nightclub Cantata is this Fall’s finest theatrical offering so far. It’s passionate, bizarre, intense, personal, genuine .. .in short, nothing less than poetic. Elizabeth Swados (who conceived and composed the show) creates a space between two intense poems (written by Nazim Hikmet), then fills it with horror, awe, and struggle. Hikmet’s poetry acts like prison walls, isolating, oppressing, and holding a small band of performers captive. Between these walls, they fight for survival, understanding, equality, and acceptance. They also fight for love. Ultimately, they fight to live life to its fullest. Expressing themselves through poems set to music, improvised sounds and words, dance and movement, the performers work as a seamless ensemble. Each one deserves to be mentioned by name: Angela Sparks works with real attitude and honesty; Anthony Joseph Killeen taps internal anger and personal struggle. Together, they create one of the show’s most intense moments, “Dibarti,” a poem that echoes conflict, hatred, and disappointment. Rosemary Marston is earthy, and her deep desire brings “The Dance” to light, making it a sad and exhilarating cry for life. Ernest White drives “Adolescents” into the heart with his simple, honest reflections of growing up. Nothing over-the-top here; just hard, isolated truths. Will Braun’s impish playfulness is suddenly the knife that stabs the audience at the end of “In Dreams Begin Responsibilities,” a scene staged brilliantly by director Robin Jensen. John Bosman, Darla Walker, Angela and Anthony make “Ventriloquist and Dummy” a bizarre expression of relationship, and the fight for equality that threatens most couples. Wilton “De Vonn” Baker creates an echoing and moving ode “To The Harbormaster.” Nightclub Cantata works like “performance art.” It is deep and profound, and each person on stage clearly contributes by using their own experiences as an instrument of expression. Their voices join to make one loud cry...the fullness of life that they entreat. Truly, a talented cast. Jensen’s direction of Cantata is uncom- plicated and direct, letting the words and songs do the work. The lighting and set are minimal but dramatic. The whole space of SecondStage is used effectively. Through poetry and songs we move from captivity to freedom, until our one desire is to dance in the sand and move with the cast into a space of rejoicing and light. Bravi! Bravi! - to an ensemble that is natural, honest, interesting, and endearing. Nightclub Cantata runs through Oct. 16. Tickets $12. Call (407) 896-7365for reservations.

The Sydney Gay Mardi Gras is a unique and wonderful celebra-§ turn; a time and place where the gay community can proudly proclaim its unity, while at die same time displaying and celebrating its tremendous diversity. Not to mention that special ability to design some bitchuT costumes! That first march, on June 24, 1978, ended in a street dot and con-| frontationwith Sydney police. It was born of anger and a need to raise consciousness regarding discrimination against gays. How times have . changed.

The ‘‘Boys” include lawyers, accountants, corporate executives, and lots and lots of flight attendants. In fact, the Mardi Gras Boys have become so popular that they are now chosen in auditions. But few are turned away, Sydney Gay Mardi Gras is a celebration of inclusion, and last year’s “Boys” included a 17-year-old and a 64-year-old. Their joy and enthusiasm . make them all beautiful. Ill The 1994 brought new participants to Mardi Gras, Hawaii sent a group, and the gay .and. lesbian community j from Tasmania was represented for the first time.

Major style points! There are Mardi Gras celebrations 1 all over the world, each with a spe^J cial message. Sydney’s message has been a long time In the making: “We are Family, and the colors of our rainbow are diverse and bright," The only thing missing from Sydney Mardi Gras is a group from Central Florida, but an adventurous group is already talking about rectifying this problem.

No doubt it will be released in two parts. Regardless, we want to see it and we won’t apologize. We live in a sick culture, and we’re going to take advantage of it. ▼ Speaking of equipment that doesn’t work...the new fountain at Lake Eola. It was up and running for a few weeks, most often malfunctioning (and a pathetic sight it is, a fountain dribbling water as if out of the side of its mouth...all very Freudian). But it’s been dormant...impotent, really ...for months. Well, a month. Is anyone working on this? And what happened to the musical trees and bushes? It was hokey, but we liked it. Lake Eola is still a great park, even if no one uses the new part. ▼ You know how we all have sections of the paper that we always read? Well, we just stopped reading Ann Landers.. .just cut her out of our morning routine, and believe me, these routines are not given up cavalierly. Just lost interest...in the problems...in the answers (“Consult a doctor/gynecologist/clergy/counselor”) ...waste of time.

Mercury rules communications of all sorts. It also affects delivery of communications such as mail, phone calls and messages. Approximately four times a year, Mercury stops motion .. .you can imagine the consequences. Evaluate new projects or documents carefully before proceeding; avoid them if possible. Fixed signs...Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, are particularly hard hit this phase (which runs from 10/10 to 10/ 31), but everyone should use caution. Some additional general advice from your friendly astrologer: plan travel carefully and drive cautiously. You got it.. .travel is also ruled by Mercury. ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Fall is in the air and the New Moon on Oct. 19 opens doors for you. Have fun doing the things you love most. Be prepared for fireworks on the 24th, when you’ll have more sexual electricity than Con Ed. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): This coming month is an excellent time to clean out the crap.. .the “old tapes”.. .lingering from childhood. A check up is also in order to nip any bugs. Don’t think about moving right now, and avoid the legally binding. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 20): Mercury rules Gemini, and he’s in retrograde most of the month. Not a good time for heart-to-hearts. Consider delaying plans for entertaining. Instead, spend your time productively, possibly with a friend who needs a hand. But avoid lending that hand financially. CANCER (Jun 21-Jul 22): Relationships may seem determined by fate right now. What’s worked in the past may bring unexpected and undesired results. Go ahead with that relocation, but not until next month. A well deserved financial reward is possible. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Lingering annoyances.. .that troubling, pervasive “life stuff’ you’ve been dealing with...may come crashing in on you. Common sense will see you through. Is work fulfilling? You may want to consider additional training or education. Expect confusion. Finances will improve next month. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): A grandparent may need your help and time. Good thing. Money’s been flying out of your wallet; now is a good time to curtail frivolous spending. And brace yourself for that Visa or MasterCard statement. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Spending a lot of time trying to impress a new partner? Turn the spotlight 180 degrees this month and enjoy all the attention. Seek out mutual friends, and don’t let well-meaning parents tell you who to hang out with. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Focus on career matters this month.. .and little else. Opportunity is knocking. In particular, take a look at what you get, and what you need, from your superiors. Your pet may be a particular nuisance this month. Watch your words, too.. .that Mercury thing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): A friend may need your help. In the process, a new friend may materialize. Intrigued? Home seems real confining, but beware of spending too much on diversions. Contracts are favorably aspected, but wait ‘til next month to finalize. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’re irritated...both at home and at work. Even your relationship is being tested this month. The good news is that if there is no relationship, this is a good time to go out and find one. It’ll be fresh, fun, and too new to be adversely affected. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Febl8): Much uncertainty surrounding your employment situation. You’re underappreciated. Confusion and even deception come from an unexpected source. Seek support from someone who knows how to deal with children; that’s exactly how your boss is acting. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Work is good.. .better than its been for a long while. This is good, because you’ll need to direct energy toward relationships. A karmic link seeks your subconscious recognition and conscious action. Go for it. And plan ahead...next month Mars enters your house of relationships and the late night fires will be burning.

Dorothy Allison is an eminently talented lesbian writer. Her previous novel, Bastard Out of Carolina, was a 1992 National Book Award Finalist in Fiction. Her first novel, Trash, won the 1989 double Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction and Small Press Book. Allison has also authored a powerful volume of poetry called The Women Who Hate Me, Poetry: 1980-1990. Allison’s writing is like a dense dessert after a light meal; it is rich and substantial. Allison revisits some of her most defining experiences with a total lack of self-contempt or sentimentality. Her hard-boiled examination of self and others makes for enjoyable reading. But there is also a sense of voyeurism as one shares the forays, foibles, and significant suffering unique to a lesbian’s life path. Allison relies heavily on black humor and storytelling tones to keep the shy reader interested and the curious reader satisfied. In Skin, Allison has revised and extracted from several exceptional articles that appeared in such periodicals as The New York Native and The Village Voice, and from a few of her celebrated speeches. Allison’s most identifiable writing trademarks include questioning the values and mores of self and peers, as well as threading a common chord of suspense throughout all her work. These traits abound throughout Skin. Allison uses her thoughtful commentary, interwoven with undetectable revisionist hindsight, to provide a memorable collection of intellectual exploration, sexual discovery, and literary analysis within a lesbian context. Her essay topics range from a near-mugging in New York to her personal thoughts and feelings on writing seminars she attended. The most memorable and insightful group of essays concern sexuality. Allison insists on confronting her discomfort, her desires, and her unanswered questions about sexuality head-on in essays such as “Femme” and “Sex Talk.” Allison develops other topics as well, but as the book’s title indicates, her major forums are sex, class, and literature. While there are many popular lesbian writers, Allison leads the small pack of genuine literary contributors who reveal the life experiences of lesbians in a realistic, unromanticized context. Allison herself seems in transition from an oppressed point of origin to an almost boundless destination. Her ability to plant intellectual roots into the barren soil that was her family of origin is truly inspiring. Her earlier works evince a highly abusive and dysfunctional childhood, including incest, poverty, and daily violence. Skin is no exception. Between the lines, Allison processes her pain, relives her fear, and incorporates her shattered child self into the relative sanctuary of her adult life. While I enjoyed Skin thoroughly, I would hesitate to recommend it to the recreational reader who is seeking escapist fiction. It is too confrontative for that purpose. However, for those in pursuit of intellectual, spiritual and social challenge, Dorothy Allison’s Skin will stir you up like a hot cup of coffee. ED WOOD From Page 13 rector to bring Wood’s story to the screen. In his past works {Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas), there are always driving elements of the supernatural, the skewed, and the downright odd. He is in many respects a modern-day Ed Wood himself. His strength is in making us feel for characters whom we would otherwise pity, dislike, or even avoid. He has a very fine flair for humor; the many laughs which can be found in Ed Wood are neither contrived nor forced. His opening title sequence is superb, and his authenticity in recreating Wood’s original work is brilliant. However, Burton’s direction is a beautiful welcome mat to an empty house. Perhaps the film is too true-to-life and could have benefited from some fictionalization. A more engrossing film could have been told from Lugosi’s viewpoint. In any case, Ed Wood fails to capture the “genius” behind the man who is still remembered to this day for his worse-than-mediocre work. The irony of this all is that like Wood’s films, Ed Wood will most likely live on to be shown at sci-fi conventions for decades to come, even after it has been forgotten by the general public. Burton ‘s better work should live so long.

THE RHYTHM METHOD From Page 13 so we started doing talent shows at Denver Women’s Chorus retreats. The second year that we did the talent show, we thought, ‘wouldn’t it be nice to have someone sing the base part,’ and we all thought of Rachael, who (we later found out) was hoping we’d ask her.” Rachael had also been with the Denver Women’s Chorus on the support staff. TRM didn’t want to be just another singing-guitar-play-ing-all-female group. “Actually,” Marla spoke up, “we started singing a cappella, and it seems to fit who we are. It was easy for us to show up at a gig and sing.. .no tracks, no drums, just stand up and sing.” “And,” Rachael added, “there’s a lot about a cappella that’s pure music. You can cover up a lot in a chorus and with a band, but there’s something that’s right on with a cappella that you have to be devoted to.” “And the challenge is me,” Meladye included. “I’m challenging myself and having to work with the other members of the group to sing as a unit with no place to hide - that’s the real challenge.” There’s a line in one of TRM' songs that says, “singin’ ‘bout boys only gets us down.” When asked whether they get negative reactions to such exclusive lesbian statements, Meladye stated, “The song, for me, is couched in the context of a lover relationship - this is who I am, this is what I do - I’m not going to sing as if I were a man singing about a woman so that the community-at-large finds it appropriate. It’s not that we’re saying we don’t like boys, it’s just that we’re not going to pretend to be them to have our songs accepted. “In fact, we have to say that the men’s community has been incredibly supportive of our efforts, both in Denver and in other areas. In some cases, more so than the women.” Feeling prompted to offer a theory behind that, Rachael said, “I think the guys enjoy camp, and a lot of what we do on stage is a little off. We try to screw things up a bit with lyrics or what we do, and I think the men like that show stuff.” We turned to the topic of lesbian artists who are doing the mainstream thing, rather than addressing the lesbian audience. Rachael took the lead. “We have a lot of pride, both in ourselves individually and as a group. We’re out at work and our home lives, and we’re out as a group. We don’t want to sing in venues that don’t want to host us and we are proud to stand up and say we’re lesbians, rather than ‘we know you know but we’re not going to say it.’” “And if you want to go mainstream and be known nationally, you almost have to sing songs that don’t talk about anybody specifically or that talk about the opposite sex...” added Marla quickly. Rachael noted, “Tracy Chapman and Melissa Etheridge were pioneers of the generic ‘you’ gender-not-specific lyric.” “I support people doing what they think is right for themselves and their careers,” Meladye interjected. “I’m really glad to see people like Melissa and k. d. lang stepping out and saying that they’re lesbians, but doing it in their own personal time, when it’s right for them. “As for this group, we made a decision a long time ago, before we ever embarked on what we’re doing right now, about who we’d play to, who our community is, who we want to be. We are out lesbians playing to the gay community and we don’t care about being mainstream artists. We’re doing what we want to do now.” When the question of profit motives arose, TRM answered on one solid note. “Take a poll: girls, has it ever been about profit?” Marla asked. “No, never,” they answered in unison. “We just want to cover our expenses and have a good time.” “Lot’s of people dream about what we’re able to do, and here we are in Florida, having a great time,” Marla said, looking at the rain while we all laughed. But then the less humorous topic of Colorado’s Amendment 2 came up. [Amendment 2 repeals existing laws and makes further laws that would protect gays and lesbians from discrimination illegal.] Discussing the impact of the political struggle, Rachael delivered the group’s harmonized sentiment. “We’ve helped,” she began, “through fundraisers and rallies where we’ve gladly performed pro bono. We feel good about what we’ve been able to give.” In the future, TRM hopes to get more of their own original music out, “and possibly come up with a new CD of our own,” Marla said. She added that while the current CD has but three original pieces, only one is not an original ar-. rangement. “No one else arranges music for a cappella.” As we positioned to leave, Marla sat up straight, sending her forefinger out into the air as if to tap a bell. “I have something to add,” she announced. “There are so many things about the gay and lesbian community that the straight media picks up and personifies as evil. I think it’s important that the gay and lesbian chorus movement and positive music is somehow featured, not only in our own media, but in the media-at-large. And the longer that groups like the Orlando Gay Chorus are around, the better it is for our image as a whole community.” WATERMARK / October 12,1994 22 SPORTS It isn’t that I’m out of shape. I exercise as much as I can, which means I sometimes put on girl-group records from the ‘sixties and dance around the house. So why do my friends suggest - often -that my lover Kirk and I join the Frontrunners, Orlando’s gay running/walking/biking group? We finally succumbed. I was amazed at the number of people who thronged at the Pagoda at Lake Eola. Group leaders arranged about fifty of us in a giant circle on the grass. My heart pounded (is that aerobic?); we were people! Actually, we just introduced ourselves and answered a question: What TV family would we want to be part of? I answered The Donna Reed Show and got a laugh. This group dynamic exercise is useful. Now I knew the name of the guy in the black biking shorts. We separated into preferred activities-running, walking or biking- and we were off. The runners were soon dots in the distance, yet we walkers marched resolutely ahead. I fixed my sight on the black biking shorts and forged onward, Kirk in tow. I expected a liesurely stroll around Lake Eola; gossip and swan boats. Hardly. We soon left the park for Rosalind Avenue, and headed south, under the East-West Expressway, past the old Dr. Phillips house, around Lake Lucerne, which is really beautiful at night, and up busy Orange Avenue. By now the black biking shorts were a full block away. Kirk was slowing down, and I was concerned lest we be the last two of the original group to return to the Pagoda. “Don’t worry,” he kept saying. “There are still two people behind us.” I can be so competitive at times. Downtown never looked so magical to me at night! The massive amounts of oxygen I was inhaled caused even our downtown denizens to take on a Damon Runyon-esque quality. As we passed Wall Street, I realized I had lost my Nicoderm patch... a sign? Soon we were on our final approach. We picked up the pace a bit as the Pagoda loomed in the distance. “Didn’t mean to pull so far ahead,” Biking Shorts told me. “Sorry.” “It’s quite all right (puff, puff). Just how far did we walk?” Surely, after all that time, we could have walked to Valdosta, Georgia. “Two point eight miles.” he replied. “Well,” I said. “Well.” The Frontrunners meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Pagoda at Lake Eola.

This new perception allowed the front page to have an article on the developing Gay Neighborhoods in Orlando and on the involvement of gay voters in upcoming elections. Another major section of the paper was dedicated to the scandal revolving around state representative Jimmy Charles, and the sex solicitation case that he was involved in that resulted in him addressing homosexuals in the same breath as pedophiles, delinquents, pimps, and more. Continuing its trend of publishing international stories, this issue addresses the Oregon Citizen Alliance accusing gays as being key participants in the Holocaust, a Colorado anti-gay bill being declared unconstitutional, and the World Health Organization’s addressing of a vaccine to treat HIV. Another issue covered was the inequality of credit for LGBTQ+ members and the proposed gay credit union for Orlando. Finally, this issue saw a spike in advertisements specifically targeting HIV+/AIDS patients.

In fact, many candidates have actively embraced the gay community, seeking gay votes that may have a substantial impact on election results, particularly in close races. have been forced, often tentatively, to distance, ignoring queries and invitations.

But they have also experienced the flip side,* lost endorsements and financial backing from conservatives made uncomfortable by those willing to speak out in support of equal rights and dignity for lesbians and gay men. Politicos will study this election to see whether gay votes in Central Florida are too costly at present.

The shift started slowly. As more and more gay men and lesbians flooded into the Castro Street area, the local residents of this ethnic, working class neighborhood began to notice one charming but dilapidated Victorian home after another being bought and tastefully redecorated. It seemed a new business appeared each day on Castro Street, Eighteenth, and in all directions east and west. The throngs of gay men and lesbians flooding the Castro area at that time brought with them incomes that benefited from higher than average educations and that were unrestricted by children. They had money to spend. The once-reticent natives of the Castro Street area quickly saw the benefit of the new money and blood that in- chose to leave in the face of the tidal wave of migrating gays couldn’t complain too much; they were selling their homes at nearly twice what they would have gotten for them just five years before. Within a mere two years, a full-scale gay community had sprung forth in the Castro. As word spread quickly across the country, more and more gays filed into America’s first self-acknowledged “ Gay Ghetto. ” Gentrification, the restoration of a deteriorated area, has been part of the legacy of the gay community in the United States. In the twenty years since the rise of the Castro Street area in San Francisco, gay neighborhoods, or neighborhoods with strong gay and lesbian populations, have sprung up in nearly every major urban area in the country. These include South Beach in Miami; Capitol Hill and DuPont Circle, Washington, D.C.; Virginia Highlands, Atlanta; and, Hillcrest, San Diego. Now Orlando is developing its own brand of gay neighborhoods, based not only on these models, but also on the unique personality of the city itself. In the past five years, downtown neighborhoods such as SarTpr!?" Audubon Park havlTseen lncrea^flg niirfiOers or young urt fessionals, including many gays and lesbians, moving into uie area and purchasing homes and businesses that were once in disrepair. Now, these areas boast some of the most active development in the city, with the majority taking place in Thornton Park, which includes Thornton and Washington streets and is within a short walking distance to Lake Eola.

(AP) - Opponents of a Tampa law banning discrimination against homosexuals have collected enough signatures to bring the issue before voters a second time to let them decide whether to repeal the law. Hillsborough Elections Supervisor Pam Iorio certified a petition Monday that will send the sexual orientation measure to a public referendum on March 7. It will be the second time in less than three years the gay rights ordinance will be up for a vote. The law, adopted in 1991, forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation in housing, employment and public accommodations. “We’re very much prepared and ready to move toward a March election,” said David Caton, head of a group called “Yes! Repeal Homosexual Ordinance Committee.” “The main message is that what one does in the privacy of the bedroom should not be protected as a right to be expressed in any manner in the workplace,” he said. Ordinance supporters also have regrouped. Formerly, they were known as “Say No to Hate” and now work as “Citizens for a Fair Tampa.” “I defy anybody to read the ordinance and find special rights for anybody. That is not what this is about. It’s about protection for all citizens, and that’s it,” said John Dunn, chairman of the proponents group. GROUP TURNS IN SIGNATURES FOR VOTE TO REPEAL ANTI-DISCRIMINATION LAW WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A group seeking repeal of a city ordinance prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation turned in petitions for a special election. The group led by city Commissioner Sarah Nuckles and Bob Proper, local coordinator of the Christian Coalition, needed 1,512 signatures to get on the ballot and gathered 1,703 signatures in 20 days. If the signatures are valid, the city charter requires that LOCAL & STATE NEWS the anti-gay issue be put to voters before Feb. 19, just three weeks before a city general election. A special election is expected to cost $20,000. The result would be a one-issue campaign providing the first clear test of the voting strength of the city’s gay and conservative Christian communities. Group members said they collected 600 signatures on Sundays outside three city churches to meet Wednesday’s deadline. People signed because they were angry the city commission passed the gay rights measure despite strong opposition, group spokesman John McGill said. Gay community activist Glen Scriber said he thought the law would survive a referendum. “I honestly don’t believe there are enough bigots in this city to overturn the ordinance,” Scriber said. In Gainesville Wednesday, a Circuit Court judge approved a similar measure for the Nov. 8 ballot. A group wants to repeal part of an Alachua County ordinance that protects gays and lesbians from discrimination. GAY VIDEO HELD NOT OBSCENE A Pinellas County jury recently found a video store clerk innocent of violating state obscenity laws when she rented a gay porn movie to an undercover detective. Defense lawyers said it was the first time in Florida that a gay-themed movie was the subject of a trial involving the state’s laws forbidding distribution of obscene material. “Gay people exist in your community,” said defense attorney Frank de la Grana. “They have as much right as heterosexual people to rent adult videos.” Bait was rented four years ago during a series of raids on adult video and bookstores conducted by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. In his charge, the prosecuting assistant state attorney called the movie “patently offensive.” De la Grana attempted to argue that Bait is not obscene using the standards of the local gay community, but County Judge Karl Grube ruled that the jury’s decision must be based on the standards of the entire community. Nonetheless, the jury took only a half an hour to reach its not guilty verdict.

JIMMY CHARLES ADDRESSES DAYTONA BUSINESS GROUP by Tom Dyer Responding to an invitation by the Daytona Beach Business Guild (DBBG), State Rep. Jimmy Charles (D-Daytona Beach) spoke to a feisty group of 80 gay, lesbian, and gay-friendly constituents on October 10 at the Ramada Resort Ocean-front. DBBG members and guests were upset by Charles’ statement to the Daytona Beach News-Journal that, “My district includes runaways, delinquents, pimps, prostitutes, pedophiles and homosexuals.” Although he is expected to win re-elec- “77 lestatement itself is so horrible that several of my gay friends called me about it. I’m apologizing to each of you here tonight. ” tion, this has not been an easy campaign for Charles, who was elected to his first term two years ago, and whose district covers beachside Daytona, from Ponce Inlet to Ormond Beach. Last month, Charles was arrested and charged with solicitation. Charles has claimed he was just speaking with a troubled constituent, and it was in this context that statements offensive to the gay and lesbian community were made to the press. Charles started by apologizing to the group. Although told by his attorney not to discuss matters relating to his arrest, he stated that he was “totally mortified” when he read the newspaper quotation. “It does not reflect what I believe in and stand for as a person,” he stated. “The statement itself is so horrible that several of my gay friends called me about it. I’m apologizing to each of you here tonight.” Charles also called attention to his voting record. “I have always opposed the religious right in their attempts to legislate discrimination...and I always will.” Many at the gathering expressed their appreciation for Charles’ courage and sincerity in apologizing to the group. One audience member told Charles, “It’s unfortunate that this had to happen in your life to get you to come to one of our meetings.” Charles countered that, “until you called me, I didn’t know [DBBG] existed. Had you invited me sooner, I would have been here, and I’ll come again.” Reverend Steve Steele of Hope MCC asked Charles if he would publicly retract his statement lumping homosexuals with criminals. Steele pointed out that only a retraction would undo the negative impression of homosexuals created for the public at large. In response, Charles revealed some of the stress he has experienced since his arrest. In a raised voice he asserted, “I am not willing to continue the feeding frenzy on me by issuing a public retraction. I have an election to run, and I need to move on. I’m tired of being attacked by the press.” Many in the audience vowed to work toward Charles’ re-election. Charles closed by stating that, if nothing else, the experiences of the recent past would make him “a better policymaker.” The Daytona Beach Business Guild meets on the 2nd Monday of each month.

WATERMARK / October 26, 1994 4 NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL NEWS COLORADO’S ANTI-GAY RIGHTS AMENDMENT DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL DENVER (AP) - State officials plan to appeal a state Supreme Court decision striking down an anti-gay rights amendment as unconstitutional. Gay rights groups hailed the ruling. The court ruled Tuesday that Amendment 2, which prohibited local governments from outlawing discrimination against homosexuals, denies gays an equal voice in government. “This ruling is a decisive affirmation of lesbian and gay rights, and a crushing blow to the radical right’s efforts to curtail important constitutional protections,’’ said co-cousel Suzanne B. Goldberg, an attorney at Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, a gay-rights organization. The amendment “singles out one form of discrimination and removes its redress from consideration by the normal political process,” Chief Justice Luis Rovira wrote for the court’s 6-1 majority. State Attorney General Gale Norton said the thrust of the state’s appeal to the high court will be the role voters have in setting state policies. Two other states will have anti-gay-rights measures on their ballots next month. Measure 13 in Oregon and Proposition 1 in Idaho would forbid state and local governments from giving legal minority status to people based on homosexual behavior. Unlike Colorado, their measures also would limit public schools and universities in how they teach about homosexuality, and limit access to books on the subject at public libraries. In Alachua County, Fla., voters will decide on whether to repeal a county ordinance barring discrimination against gays, and whether to forbid the county commission from enacting any such measure in the future. Colorado’s Amendment 2, which would have struck down anti-discrimination ordinances in Denver, Boulder and Aspen, was never enforced. It was challenged immediately, and has been the subject of court battles since then. It was written by Colorado for Family Values founder Will Perkins and approved, 54 percent to 46 percent, by voters in the 1992 election. Perkins told reporters the ruling did not surprise him because courts “already have made known their willingness to ca$t aside the freedoms of those who hold politically incorrect beliefs in today’s society.” Perkins also suggested that the court had delayed issuing the ruling until National Coming Out Day, when gays are encouraged to declare their sexual orientation. “This is an additional slap in the face for the majority of Coloradans and one they won’t forget,” Perkins said. There was no evidence the court timed the decision to National Coming Out Day. But that didn’t bother supporters. “I don’t know if it was intentional, but I think it’s a fabulous gift for Coming Out Day,” said Sue Anderson, director of Equality Colorado. GAY GROUP ESTIMATES ANTI-HOMOSEXUAL MEASURES COST STATES MILLIONS WASHINGTON (AP) - Passage of anti-gay initiatives and ordinances has cost states and cities at least $169 million in lost business, a gay rights lobby asserted. “Business organizations are standing up to the radical right groups as the costs of their divisive agenda become painfully clear,” Stacie Spector, director of Americans Against Discrimination, a project of the Human Rights Campaign Fund, said Wednesday. Her group surveyed convention and visitors bureaus, chambers of commerce and groups working to defeat such initiatives to estimate the losses. In Colorado, for example, which passed the anti-gay Amendment 2 in 1992, the state lost almost $120 million in convention and tourism business through the end of 1993, the group found. At least 47 organizations canceled plans to hold conferences or conventions in Colorado as a result of Amendment 2’s passage, the group said. Several companies also dropped plans to move to the state. The group estimated that Cincinnati has lost some $ 19.2 million since voters there passed an initiative in 1993 repealing an ordinance protecting gays from discrimination based on sexual orientation. And in Portland, Ore., more than $15 million worth of convention business has been put on hold pending the vote on a statewide anti-gay initiative in November. That figure represents business from eight conventions expected to bring almost 27,000 visitors. “Most are waiting to see,” said Deborah Wakefield of the Portland Visitors Bureau. “I’m sure if this passes, the state will see an effect everywhere.” The Portland Visitors Association has spoken out against the local ballot initiative, as have several of the other affected convention and tourism offices. Cobb County, Ga., lost an estimated $10 million when gay activists pressured the U.S. Olympic Committee into moving the 1996 volleyball competition elsewhere, Americans Against Discrimination said. The activists mounted a protest after the Cobb County Commission passed an ordinance in August 1993 that said “lifestyles advocated by the gay community” were incompatible with community standards. And following a vote in 1992 to repeal sections of the city’s human rights ordinance, Tampa, Fla., lost at least $5.5 million with the cancellation of the 5,000-member GALA Choruses convention and a meeting of the Catholic Campus Ministers Association, Spector’s group said. OREGON CITIZENS ALLIANCE OFFICIAL: GAYS WERE PART OF NAZI MOVEMENT SALEM, Ore. (AP) - Homosexuals had a major role in the Nazi party movement but were not responsible for the Holocaust, an Oregon Citizens Alliance leader says. The alliance is sponsoring an anti-gay-rights measure on Oregon’s Nov. 8 ballot and has used the alleged Nazi-homosexual tie in its campaign. A state Voters’ Pamphlet statement in favor of Measure 13 and paid for by the OCA says, “Nazism was largely an outgrowth of Germany’s gay rights movement.” Scott Lively, OCA membership director, said in a letter to the editor in The Daily Astorian that homosexuals “were an integral part of the Nazi party throughout history.” Charles Schiffman, executive vice president of the Jewish Federation of Portland, told The Oregonian such allegations are “a low effort to use a terrible tragedy for political purposes.” Lively said his aim is to clear up wrong impressions about the OCA. “We wanted to refute this whole idea that people who oppose homosexuality are Nazis,” he said. “If anybody is using Nazi-like tactics, it is gay rights groups like Queer Nation and Act Up.” PAYROLL DUE?

But the kind of campaign Van Zandt faced is happening in races around the country where open gays and lesbians are running for office. Eighteen open homosexuals are running for state and local offices around the country this fall, according to William Wayboum, executive director of the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, which raises money for gay candidates. “There were 55 openly gay and lesbian elected officials in 1991, when we started. Now there are 205,” he said last week. “If things go as well as we think, out of these we’ll probably end up adding 10 more on this election cycle.” That would bring to 215 the number of openly gay elected officials in the United States - “which is not a great number when you consider there are 475,000 public officials,” Wayboum said. His group has tracked gay-baiting of the candidates it supports, and has found a handful of examples, mostly campaign literature that tries to paint gay candidates as anti-family or controlled by outside interests with a hidden agenda. Most of it never reaches the national consciousness. But it did last week, in the race for New York state attorney general, after a Republican - Staten Island Borough President Guy Molinari - told an audience: “The next attorney general shouldn’t be an admitted lesbian.” In Sheila Kuehl’s race for the California Assembly, a spokesman for her opponent, Republican Mike Meehan, told a newspaper they were going to make an issue of her sexual orientation. Kuehl is a civil rights lawyer and a former actress who played Zelda Gilroy in “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis” on television in the 1960s. GEORGIA HIGH COURT HEARS DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP ARGUMENTS ATLANTA (AP) - City officials say domestic partnership benefits are necessary to attract quality employees, while opponents say such protections are a step toward legitimizing sodomy in Georgia. The question goes to the state Supreme Court today as the city of Atlanta seeks approval to extend city health, dental, and other benefits to unmarried city employees who register their partners. Superior Court Judge Isaac Jenrette voided the registry in April, saying the city was not authorized to enact such an ordinance under the Municipal Home Rule Act and the Georgia Constitution. Six of the plan’s opponents, including state Rep. Billy McKinney, D-Atlanta, told the Supreme Court in motions the added benefits would cost $2.5 million, 75 percent of which would be borne by taxpayers and 25 percent by city employees through higher withholdings. “Another intended change is to lay the foundation for future arguments that sodomy is a fundamental right,” the six opponents said in motions filed before the Supreme Court. Georgia law specifically encourages marriage, contends David Myers, an attorney for the plaintiffs. “Every effort to restrain or discourage marriage by contract, condition, limitation or otherwise,” the code says, “shall be invalid and void.” City attorneys Kendric Smith and Robin Shahar, who was fired from the State Law Department by Attorney General Michael Bowers after revealing plans of her lesbian marriage, told the Supreme Court that some of the plaintiffs’ arguments are offensive. “The tenor of plaintiffs’ complaint, which is replete with the innuendo of bigotry and stereotypes, demonstrates the reality of public prejudice against people of different sexual orientations which could result in disparate treatment,” the city’s motion says. “These ordinances protect all persons from discrimination based upon their sexual orientation, whether ... heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual.” In motions before the Supreme Court, the city is supported by the American Civil Liberties Union, the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund Inc. and the AFL-CIO, which notes that more than two dozen of the nation’s cities and counties have extended some type of domestic partner benefits. DEFENSE DEPARTMENT FOREGOES FURTHER REVIEW OF MILITARY HOMOSEXUALS LOS ANGELES (AP)-The Clinton administration passed up an opportunity to challenge a court ruling that allowed reinstatement of a sailor who publicly declared his homosexuality. The ruling affects Navy sonar operator Keith Meinhold, who revealed on national television in 1992 that he is gay. Meinhold was discharged under old military regulations that were replaced last year. John McGuire, an attorney for Meinhold, said the Justice Department let pass a Friday deadline to appeal an August decision by a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. That 3-0 ruling found the military can dismiss open gays or lesbians only if they say they intend to have homosexual sex, not for simply “coming out.” The deadline applied to seeking review by the full appeals court, and the government still has 45 days from Friday to decide whether to appeal to the Supreme Court, Justice Department spokesman Joe Krovisky said. He said Solicitor General Drew Days had not yet decided whether to take the Meinhold case to the high court. The federal district court that ordered Meinhold’s reinstatement said there was no rational basis for excluding service members solely because of their sexual orientation. “For 2 1/2 years, the Pentagon has fought tooth and nail to kick me out of the Navy because I’m gay,” said Meinhold, now stationed at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Washington. “By this decision, they finally have admitted that I can say I am gay and proudly serve my country in the military.” The court said that only a statement showing a “concrete, fixed or expressed desire to engage in homosexual acts despite their being prohibited” justifies an involuntary discharge. Under the new policy, the military cannot ask about sexual orientation, but can discharge declared homosexuals. The policy gives gays a chance to stay in the service by proving that they will remain celibate.

The U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling that said health insurance companies were not subject to the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits employers from discriminating against workers with disabilities. The ruling sets an important precedent for interpreting the federal act, said Marc Elovitz, staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union’s National AIDS Project, which filed a brief on behalf of the plaintiff. The case began in 1990 when Carparts Distribution Center in Plaistow, N.H., sued Automotive Wholesalers of New England Health Benefits Plan, of Peterborough, N.H., which provided health insurance for Carparts owner Ronald Senter and his employees. Carparts claimed that after Senter contracted AIDS, the insurance company capped benefits for AIDS-related illnesses at $25,000. Treatment for any other disease continued to be capped at $1 million. Carparts argued it was thereby forced to discriminate against an employee in the health benefits it provided. “For people with HIV and AIDS.. .the discrimination is rampant,” Elovitz said. “AIDS is not an especially expensive condition to treat” compared to heart disease and cancer, yet “there are these caps set on your health benefits solely on the basis of AIDS.” The U.S. District Court for New Hampshire dismissed the case in 1993 - after Senter’s death - ruling that the insurance plan was not subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act because it wasn’t an employer. The appeals court, however, held that the insurance company could be considered Senter’s employer under the act if it “exercised significant control over an important aspect of his employment” and acted as an agent of Carparts in providing health insurance. WOMAN MUST ALLOW CHILDREN TO VISIT DAD WITH HIV-POSITIVE ROOMMATE NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Court of Appeals has upheld that a Clarksville woman must allow her two daughters to visit their father despite the fact he shares a house with his HIV-positive brother. The ruling affirmed a Montgomery County judge’s decision that the presence of the AIDS virus in the father’s family is not enough to bar his children from visiting him and his relatives. '• “The courts should limit visitation when it would expose a child to harm in the physical or moral sense,” a three-judge appeals court panel said, in an opinion written by Judge William C. Koch. But, Koch wrote, there is a “wealth of scientific literature stating that the human immunodeficiency virus is transmitted primarily by the direct mixing of bodily fluids... , s ^ 4 _ _._ “We also note that other courts and commentators have concluded that daily household contact with a[n] HIV-positive person either presents no risk of infection or presents virtually no risk.” HIV NEWS WHO APPROVES LARGE-SCALE VACCINE TRIALS GENEVA (AP) - The World Health Organization has given the go-ahead to large-scale trials of a vaccine to try to prevent infection with the virus that causes AIDS. A meeting of experts said small-scale trials on people in the United States and Europe had shown that the vaccine was safe and had some impact on improving the immune system. The U.N. health agency said, however, that too little was known about the vaccine to predict its effectiveness. “From the information available so far, it is uncertain whether these vaccines will protect against infection in humans,” a WHO statement said. WHO said that the complex trials were unlikely to start before 1996, and that it would take years for any results to show. No sites have yet been chosen for the trials, which will involve several thousand people who do not carry the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which causes AIDS. The vaccine is made from a genetically engineered form of the outer coating of the virus. Earlier this year, U.S. authorities decided against an expanded trial of the vaccine involving 9,000 people, saying that small-scale tests had not shown enough promise to justify the expense. According to WHO figures, 17 million people have been infected with the virus since it first spread in the early 1980s. About 4 million have gone on to develop full-blown AIDS. It takes on average 10 years for a person with HIV to develop AIDS, which attacks the immune system. Experts have warned that it may be another decade before there is any effective prevention or cure. About 90 percent of all new infections are in Third World countries. GOVERNMENT STUDIES CARE FOR AIDS AND HIV PATIENT WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. government has ordered the largest study ever of the costs and quality of care for patients with AIDS and the virus that causes the deadly disease. Medical investigators from the RAND Corp. and other researchers will track the type of care that 3,700 patients get in a wide range of settings under the contract announced by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research. The 15 million dollar study will take five years to complete. A similar study in 1991-92 concentrated on the care that individual providers were giving AIDS patients in 10 cities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate it costs more than $100,000 to treat an HIV patient over his lifetime. There is no cure for AIDS, which is spread through infected blood and body fluids. This time the study will include women and children, as well as men, and will look at both urban and rural settings, from major hospitals to small clinics to individual providers’ offices. The aim is to find the best arrangements and improve care for AIDS patients, said Clifton R. Gaus, the administrator of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research. The patients will be interviewed four times over 18 months. Among, the tkuesjy^iys. they will be asked is low theyfre paying for their treaffll^ wi 11 also rely on medical records to detail the services the patients get, the costs and the severity of their disease. b the financial strains I illness... we can give |>ur life insurance policy.

GAY CREDIT UNION PROPOSED FOR ORLANDO A group of gay and gay-supportive Central Floridians is in the process of forming Triangle Federal Credit Union (TCFU). The proposed financial institution would serve the needs of gay, lesbian and bisexual community members and their families, and would be the first credit union of its kind in Florida. As presently conceived, TFCU will offer savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and loans to shareholders. Eventually, plans call for the addition of checking accounts, an ATM card, and a Triangle Federal Credit Union credit card. All accounts would be insured by the National Credit Union Shareholders Insurance Fund, a Federal insuring agency. Spearheading the organizational drive for TCFU are local activists John Rose and Le June Perin. The target date for opening GM ASKED TO DROP GAY PLEDGE DETROIT (AP) - General Motors Corp.’s policy of respecting the diversity of its employees and customers shouldn’t extend to homosexuals, according to a conservative lobbying group critical of the automaker. The Family Research Council is not organizing a boycott of GM or pressuring it to fire gay employees, spokesman Robert Knight told the Detroit News. But Knight did say the group planned to ask religious organizations to mount a letter-writing campaign urging that GM stay neutral in any debate over gay rights. The organization was responding to GM’s mention of “sexual orientation” in its pledge to respect workers’ and customers’ diversity. The pledge was part of the automaker’s annual Public Interest report, in which it states its positions on pollution, safety, employee relations and other issues. The report describes diversity as “a strength enabling us to do a better job of satisfying the customer.” It says diversity includes race, gender, family status, military service, ethnic background, religious beliefs, education, age, sexual orientation and physical abilities. In a Sept. 1 letter to GM President John F. Smith Jr., Knight said GM had unwittingly endorsed “the radical homosexual agenda.” The diversity pledge, however, doesn’t specifically mention homosexuality. “For the Family Research Council to confuse our statement on ‘diversity’ with support for any group’s agenda is indeed unfortunate,” GM spokesman William Noack said. . The Washington, D.C.-based Family Research Council is a private, nonprofit “pro-family public policy organization,” said spokeswoman Kristi Hamrick. Its president is Gary Bauer, the former Reagan White House domestic policy adviser.

The trend is not all centered around Lake Eola, however. Because of its many gay residents, Lake Davis is now affectionately referred to as Lake “Bette” Davis. Other gay friendly areas, including a burgeoning business center along Mills Avenue near Colonial Drive, are also beginning to make their presence felt. Building Neighborhoods According to Sandra Frederick of S & M Renovations, whose slogan is “Whipping Houses Into Shape,” the areas of Thornton Park, Eola Heights, and Colonialtown are quickly becoming some of the most sought after real estate in the city. “You can see the amount of money that’s being poured into the area just by driving down the streets,” Frederick said. While she is hesitant to label the trend as specifically a gay phenomenon, she agrees that there is a large gay and lesbian element to it. “All types of people are moving into the area - both straight and gay - who have money and a desire to create these kinds of upscale neighborhoods,” Frederick said. Frederick, along with partner Michael Halpin, have seen S & M Renovations’ business go from strictly property management to buying up buildings, renovating them and selling them at a profit. “Our business is really expanding. While we’ve done some work outside of the area -in Winter Park and the Gatlin area - we’ve concentrated mostly downtown. That’s where the majority of the interest is,” she said. Phil Rampy, the developer most often credited with the rise of the Thornton Park area, says that the gay and lesbian influx in the area, while always there, has become more organized as of late. “Now there are realtors who cater to the gay and lesbian community. This kind of thing builds on itself. People have friends who have moved into these areas and have had very positive experiences. They’ve told their friends and associates and the movement has just multiplied exponentially,” Rampy said. According to Rampy, the North Eola Heights area, which includes nearly 600 houses and ends at Robinson Street, Mills Avenue, Magnolia Avenue and Colonial Drive, is the most established of these ‘gentrification’ neighborhoods. “More money has been put into property in Eola Heights than in Thornton Park, partly because it is a much larger area and also because the development has been going on for longer. But we have great plans for Thornton Park,” Rampy said. Rampy indicates that the areas of Colonialtown and Audubon Park are also beginning to see more and more development. Historically, these areas have been home to a large number of gays and lesbians who are younger and renting their properties. However, as Rampy indicates, these areas will begin to benefit from the rest of the development downtown. “The Colonialtown and Audubon Park areas are really beginning to come into their own as well,” Rampy said. Rampy gives a large modicum of the credit for development downtown to city government. “Mayor Hood was instrumental in making things happen. There was never any prejudice when you would go to her administration for assistance. She and her staff would show you which avenues to go down to get things done,” Rampy said. Also, the renovation of Lake Eola Park has had a dramatic impact on the desirability of downtown living. “I can remember as a realtor several years ago telling people ‘Well, this property is not Continued Page 11 LAKE "BETTE" DAVIS.

Now, I feel it has become a major component of the success of development in the area,” Rampy said/ Becoming Visible: Mills Avenue Unlike the more planned neighborhoods of Thornton Park and Eola Heights, the Mills Avenue area near Colonial Drive has more casually become a gay business center. New businesses have been opening along Mills Avenue for nearly four years now. More than a dozen gay-friendly or gay-owned and operated establishments now do business on the street. And it’s no coincidence that Gay and Lesbian Community Services (GLCS) recently moved their thriving community center just two blocks away on Colonial. Starting at Framing of Central Florida on Colonial Drive, gay-friendly businesses stretch down to Virginia Avenue and include Pronto Press, Underground Records, Ritzy Rags, House of Flowers, Shelbie Press and Cactus Club. The Union, a gay-friendly restaurant, will open on Virginia Avenue just off Mills later this year. In the heart of all of this activity is Out & About Books, 930 North Mills Avenue. Owner Bruce Ground has seen his business grow strongly in the two years since opening his shop, which features an eclectic selection of gay-themed books, cards and gifts. He thinks that the other busi- OUT & ABOUT BOOKS. Bruce Ground's bookstore is the focol point for the Mills Avenue gay commercial area. it would be in New York City. There it would be nothing special. Here in Orlando, we provide a completely unique service. It is an outlet that probably wouldn’t otherwise be available,” Ground said. While Ground has said that he has received nothing but cooperation from the city, he has felt the sting of discrimination and harassment a number of times. “Ordinarily, it is just someone who calls up and says something derogatory - a crank call. But when I first opened, United Telephone refused to let me use the words ‘gay and lesbian’ in my yellow pages ad. I told them I couldn’t advertise my business without using those words but they held firm. Eventually I had (Orlando activist) John Rose call and make a fuss. Suddenly, of course, they acquiesced,” Ground said. Ground plans to convert some of Out & About’s space into a coffee house, to be opened sometime in the next year. The Cactus Club has also been prospering among the gay businesses on Mills Avenue. Residing on the site of the old Silver Hammer club at 1300 N. Mills Avenue, the Cactus Club has attracted a consistent and diverse clientele since it opened 3 1/2 years ago. Owner Stan Jirsa indicated that the bar’s success is no great mystery. “We are in a good location. A lot of our customers live in the area and can either walk here or will have to drive only a short distance,” Jirsa said. The bar has become a popular early nesses along Mills Avenue have an opportunity to help one another while building their own business. “It really is becoming a more synergistic arrangement. If, for example, someone buys a print here and wants to get it framed, I send them to Framing of Central Florida. We all have begun to help one another out,” Ground said. Ground feels that the presence of his shop and some of the other gay-identified businesses in the area provide a more vital service to the gay community in Orlando than they would in more gay-concentrated areas of the country. “Our being here is more important than evening watering hole, often the first stop for an evening out for Orlando gay men and lesbians. The bar boasts a strongly mixed clientele, usually attracting an even split of gay men and lesbians on Friday evenings, its most popular night. We’re located near a lot of the other bars. Southern Nights is just up the street. The Club is not far away,” Jirsa said. In fact, on Saturday nights, Cactus Club patrons can receive free admittance to the Club, which is housed in the old Firestone building on Orange Avenue. “It’s been a beneficial arrangement for both bars,” Jirsa said. A Study in Upward Mobility: Thornton Park Nowhere is the change in downtown more visible than in the Thornton Park area. Aside from boasting the offices of Watermark, The Veranda (a new bed and breakfast) and a number of gay-owned professional businesses, the area has become a gathering place for downtown residents, including many gays and lesbians. Development of the area began four years ago when developer Phil Rampy purchased El Refugeo, an out-of-business Cuban grocery that had been condemned and was rife . . .the Mills Avenue area near Colonial Drive has... become a gay business center. More than a dozen gay-friendly or gay-owned and operated establishments now do business on the street. with code violations. Along with partner Sandra Frederick, Rampy renovated the location which now houses the Thornton Park Cafe, a charming upscale eatery featuring Mediterranean and Northern Italian cuisine. Tony Costa and his wife Teddy and their partner Pablo Felix lease the property from Rampy and have created a restaurant that has become popular with the gay community, a fact not lost on Costa. “We love the neighborhood and the people,” Costa said. “Our patrons are educated and sophisticated. They have plenty of money to spend and are delightful to serve,” Costa said. The Thornton Park Cafe, whose serving staff is almost entirely gay, has become successful because of the patronage of many people who live in the neighbor- hood, Costa said. Also coming to the area is the Thornton Park Marche, which developer Phil Rampy envisions as a bohemian-style shopping village. A gourmet grocery to be located on East Washington Street is scheduled for a June 1995 opening. Rampy hopes to reserve the remainder of the space for unique businesses that offer not only quality goods and services, but also contribute to the personality of the whole area. “It’s more important to me to have a business in there that has personality, a sense of style that is consistent with the other businesses in the area. This is why we are trying to make the rent on the spaces as affordable as possible,” Rampy said. Three other buildings that Rampy has purchased in the area will be converted into ten townhouses, two of which will be available for occupancy in January. The area will also be seeing substantial renovations in the coming months. Streets in the Thornton Park area will be completely gutted and a new brick street will be laid. Old fashioned gas-buming lamps, matching those that adorn Lake Eola Park, will also be installed. With all of the development and interest being focused on Thornton Park, Rampy feels the gay community has a real opportunity to build a new kind of gay-friendly neighborhood. It is Rampy’s hope that the neighborhood will be one of inclusion, not a “gay ghetto,” characteristic of other cities’ gay neighborhoods. - “I hope the area will be one where gay and straight people live side by side, both working for the betterment of the neighborhood. I think the neighborhood will live up to its potential if it embraces a full range of people, making it more representative of our city. The gay community here in Thornton Park can include themselves in the mainstream, instead of isolating themselves. It will be for the benefit of everyone in the area.” HIV+?

CALLUS (407)426-9760 WATERMARK / October 26,1994 12 VIEWPOINT SOMETIMES I DON’T FEEL VERY GAY by Brandon Dean It’s been almost three years since I moved to Florida and discovered my sexuality. Of course, it wasn’t quite in that order; I realized I was attracted to guys, and I knew I had to move out on my own. Now, on the third anniversary of my coming out, I don’t feel very gay. It would be easy to say that the sexual freedom, the celebration of community pride and the newness of the gay lifestyle is wearing off, but that would be simplistic. It goes much deeper. I’m not some bitter queen who doesn’t go out to the bars anymore and sits around the apartment watching videotapes of Ab Fab while swizzling gin and tonic (at least I hope not). But that kind of simplistic stereotyping is part of the problem. Gay life is too often protrayed - by those on the outside looking in - as overly simple and stereotypical. A recent phenomena in modem gay history is the new “glossy queer.” In the past several years, the media’s attention to gays, the invention of “lesbian chic” and the advent of queer market power has hyped an alternative “lifestyle.” Being gay is no longer thought of as a choice, but rather as an all-inclusive lifestyle. The closet has been continually shrinking, and the idea of compartmentalizing your gay life is no longer much of an option. Gay newspapers, magazines, movies and videos insist that being gay is an integral part of your identity as a queer. But in some instances, the gay lifestyle is like a queer albatross around your neck - it is something you can never get rid of. Unfortunately in the push to bring queer identity to the forefront, gay media have offered up a glossy version of how that is done. Tales of media moguls and musicians who have come out and lead well-balanced queer lives abound. Glamour stories of how to be the most fashionable queer at the next gay soiree fill the pages of our glossy gay mags. Health and exercise tips can make you the most-well-liked muscle queen in your aerobics class. And book reviews of which corporations are most queer-friendly pop up regularly. Maybe my life has gotten too complicated recently, but there is more to me than always being the perfect Out Queer. Yes, I am concerned about the upcoming School Board election, in which several conservative candidates want a “more moral” environment for children, but I am also concerned about the president’s foreign policy and how we got mixed up in the Haitian crisis. And I am even more concerned about how many hours of overtime I need to work this month to pay off some of my credit card debt, than I am about the really cute go-go boy I missed on Sunday night (although my friend insists that if I had seen him, it would have given me a new perspective on life). I am beginning to realize that, although I may be 100 percent gay from my head to the tip of my toes, there are times when my identity will supersede my queer identity. I will not be queer 100 percent of the time. I don’t want to hide my sexuality, but I don’t have the time to dwell on it constantly, either. It is often not a simple thing to be a well-balanced queer. It is a significant thing to successfully integrate one’s queer identity into one’s personality. But the resulting focus on the “glossy gay lifestyle” may be disenchanting. Everyone can’t be a model lesbian like Melissa Etheridge. Instead, we may need to be reminded of our older, more long-suffering gay icon, Judy Garland, and realize the glossy image of a perfect (gay) lifestyle doesn’t always suit us queers.

It’s their story of their lives growing up gay and how they met. If we are looking for role models in the gay community, these two gentlemen are perfect icons. Bob Paris is a professional body builder and a former Mr. Universe. He has motivated me to work out more frequently, and I feel obligated to support him. Bob had a contract with with Mr. Joe Weider, who promotes many professional body builders. Joe promoted Bob for a long time, and said that Bob was one of his most aspiring body builders. During this time, Bob did an interview with Ironman magazine and he announced that he was a homosexual. When it came time to sign to a new contract, Joe told Bob that he couldn’t promote Bob anymore. Job discrimination, pure and simple. This is recounted in Bob and Rod’s book. Mr. Weider publishes three fitness magazines: Flex, Muscle and Fitness, and Men's Fitness. I cancelled my subscription to Men’s Fitness, and said that I enjoyed the magazine, but I could not support a man who discriminated against a man just because he was openly gay. I encourage and ask that you show your support to Bob and his husband Rod, and ban Joe Wieder magazines and products. There are lots of alternatives. Exercise for Men Only and Mens Workout are two good magazines. Bob Paris also has two exceptional work out books. Beyond Built, and Flawless both have many work out routines pictured. Bob and Rod have also done an artistic photography book together, appropriately entitled Duo. Support our community by banning Weider. I’m sure Bob and Rod would thank you. Ok, fine. Editor As a long term resident of Orlando (25 years), I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with actions taken by [the Parliament House]. I have been a “regular” customer at [the PH] for nearly ten years. In this period of time several “in” bars have come and gone, but the P.H. remained, and I remained a loyal customer. I now find myself regretting my loyalty, and the amount of money that I have spent [there]. Placing a chain link fence between [the PH] and the Full Moon Saloon was a poor statement... along with harassing customers with questions about which bar they plan on patronizing.

Editor Stephen Blackwell WATERMARK /October 26,1994 13 VIEWPOINT DON’T VOTE REPUBLICAN by Nan Schultz I’m going to put this rather bluntly: “Don’t vote Republican.” I have pondered how to frame this sentiment in a manner less absolute, more measured. I have searched in vain for some caveat to attach, some “with the exception of’ to add, but alas, no redeeming factor presents itself, no mitigating circumstances appear. The simple fact is, there is no reason for anyone who is gay to vote for anyone who is Republican. Voting for every Democratic candidate whose name appears on the ballot doesn’t make sense, but at the risk of losing what small voice a vote is, I would recommend voting for no .. .no redeeming factor pre- sents itself no mitigating circumstances appear. The simple fact is, there is no reason for anyone who is gay to vote for anyone who is Republican. one rather than voting Republican. Why? Simple: their voting record on issues of importance to gays and lesbians, and their ties to and reliance on the religious right. Last month the Human Rights Campaign Fund (HRCF) sent out a special election bulletin, including a brochure listing House of Representatives and Senate voting records on five bills the HRCF found to be critical indicators of attitudes toward gay and lesbian issues. A quick glance at the results indicates that the Republican party had a miserable record where we are concerned, and a simple spreadsheet analysis changes that impression from merely miserable to positively abysmal. The Senate and House bills for which the voting information was provided included a Domestic Partners Bill which allows domestic partners to be eligible for certain benefits, an amendment to prevent the codification of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” military policy, and the Helms-Smith-Hancock Amendment to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act denying funds to schools with “any program or activity which directly or indirectly has the purpose or effect of encouraging or supporting homosexuality as a positive lifestyle alternative.” Other measures dealt with HIV/AIDS prevention or the treatment of PWAs, and access/funding for abortions. If none of these issues matter to you, then you can quit reading. Or consider these numbers and see if you can tell what’s wrong with this picture. In the Senate there are 44 Republicans. 21 of the 44 voted against every measure tracked by the HRCF. Another 16 voted favorably on less that half of the issues. Only 2 voted favorably 100% of the time. How does that compare to the Democrats? Of 56 Democrats in die Senate, 26 voted favorably on issues of importance to lesbians and gays 100% of the time. 13 others voted for at least 50%, and only 3 voted favorably on none of the critical issues. In the House of Representatives, the numbers are bigger but the percentages are much the same. Of 179 Republicans in the House, 133 voted against every measure tracked by the HRCF; 19 voted for only 1 of 5; and only 3 voted favorably in all cases. And although a total of 129 out of 264 House Democrats voted favorably on all issues relating to gay and lesbian civil rights, be aware that an alarming 62 Democrats voted for none or only 1 of the 5 measures. A friend of mine recommended that I track those she called “Dixiecrats,” or Southern Democrats. Well, that was certainly revealing. Guess who the “rebel” Democrats were? Yep, the Dixiecrats. In fact, 50 of the 62 House Democrats who consistently voted against the interests of gays and lesbians were from the Southern states. I think the Democratic party has its work cut out for it. Force the Dixiecrats to join the party where their sympathies lie. And just where do Republican sympathies lie? From everything I can gather, they stand rather clearly with the radical right. Many Republicans are a bit shy about the relationship, but that in itself is part of the strategy. While they rely on both the money and the votes of the Christian Coalition and their brethren, Republicans frequently hide or at least downplay their alliance with these groups to avoid alarming more mainstream conservative voters. It is not a matter of great secrecy, however, that Republicans and radical righters are cozy. A quick check of the popular press revealed no less than 15-20 news articles in the last 2 years connecting the two. Here is a sampling of the fare. From a US News and World , June 6, 1994 article entitled “Onward Christian Soldiers:” • A Republican pollster estimates that 1 of every 5 Republican voters is a fundamentalist. • 20 state party (Republican) organizations are under the control of the radical right. • battles between centrists are not new to the Republican party, but “what is new is the religious zeal of the fundamentalists, and their reluctance to compromise on core issues like gay rights and abortion.” Time Magazine, June 27, 1994, In an article “On Heaven’s Ticket: • notes that the religious right has kept up its building process jamming GOP Committee meetings and state caucuses. • describes the Christian Coalition’s “grass roots effort [which has] paid off in control over the [Republican] party apparatus in Texas, Virginia, Oregon, Iowa, and South Carolina, as well as significant influence in perhaps a dozen other states.” • quotes Arlen Specter, leader of a failed centrist movement as saying, “the people on the far right are much more interested, much more determined, much more motivated than the centrists.” There is plenty more where that came from. The alliance is clear. The numbers are in. The Republicans are not your friends. I look forward to hearing from those of you who still think they are. We^lknow a fag is a Homosexual gentleman who has just left the room. TRUMAN CAPOTE THE WAX MUSEUM (A CAUTIONARY TALE FOR HALLOWEEN) by Michael L. Kilgore My friend David is an expert at disguise. He makes frequent but unscheduled appearances at Southern Nights in never to be repeated, one-of-a-kind total makeovers. Sometimes he appears as a latex-leather master complete with whip, other times as a stiletto booted Spanish dancer in tight, crushed blue velvet. Most recently, he appeared at Twirl as a man-machine, half of his body painted in silver, cutting through the crowd in slow-motion Borg fashion. Assuring me that his guises are an easy way to weed out the folks on drugs when he’s out cruising, he claims that it is, otherwise, just a kick. Before coming to Orlando to work at the attractions, David started his career in costume with the dubious distinction of being a docent at Ft. Ticonderoga in upstate New York. Every day, he and his fellow tour guides would dress in authentic eighteenth century costume to take the guileless on an overlong tour. In addition to the usual authentic craft demonstrations, the fort boasted a musty wax museum which was the last stop before the souvenir shop. Each docent had to rotate through giving tours, demonstrations and working the trinket stand. And since, more often than not, tourists were relatively sparse and there was nothing to do, David and a couple of his friends started honing their make-up skills by adding themselves to the collection of dummies in the museum. It was a challenge to see if people would even notice. Shortly before closing one Sunday afternoon, the group had assumed their post in the museum. David had made himself up as a loin-clothed Mohican scalping a settler. (This scene, by the way, was not in the history books.) Finally, a bored family of five stopped to witness the gory scene. After commenting on its grisly impact and how much better this scene was than the rest of the museum, they moved on, leaving behind an enthralled five year old. As she turned away, David shifted his position, just .. .we would assume the standard straight disguise.. .after all, why not? It's what we do best. in time for the little girl to see a new frozen scenario when she looked back one last time. The little girl ran for her parents screaming, “Mama, they’re alive! They moved!” By the time the family came back, David had resumed the original pose, and the mother was not amused. Rebuking the little girl with several hard slaps on her hands, she shrieked, “Dorothea, I’ve just about had enough of your lying. I don’t want any more stories. One more time and I’m really going to hit you!” And then she marched out the exhibit, yelling back, “Come on, NOW.” Dorothea stood in front of David, crying quietly and rubbing her burning hands. Looking up at him, she sobbed, “You moved. I know you moved.” David bent over and replied quietly, “No I didn’t,” and then resumed the pose scalping his friend as the little girl ran down the hall howling, “Mama, they’re alive! They moved!” I’m standing in front of a small group of executives about to begin a workshop on valuing differences. David’s story keeps replaying itself in my mind as I survey the assembling group. Fourteen men, each the President of a major company, and the CEO of the conglomerate have entered the room. Collectively, they represent close to $5 billion in annual revenues and make decisions affecting the lives of tens of thousands of employees. My job is to help them understand that they have hidden assets in their companies in the form of women and men whose contributions are devalued because of who they are: their race, their gender, their age, their sexual orientation, their ethnicity. I’ve done this workshop successfully dozens of times before. My job is simply to keep the dialogue progressing. It requires only two things of me: good listening skills and absolute integrity about who I am. It’s always a stretch, but I’ve seen total bigots walk out of this workshop at least allowing that they might have been wrong about a few people and taking some active steps to change both their own attitudes and their organizations. Yet this time is different for me. I’ve been asked to do something I’ve never done before - simply, not to mention that I am a gay man. Not exactly to lie, but also not to bring it up. One of the Presidents, an active right-wing fundamentalist, had called the workshop coordinator the night before. In tears he had told her that if even the words sexual orientation were used in the session, he would stonewall the entire change effort the organization was undertaking. She told me this saying, “I can’t tell you what to do; but...” So the dilemma for me was about integrity. The workshop is about helping people capture their personal truth; and yet, to make it work, I was being asked to lie. To complicate it further, there were two other people, a gay man and a woman whose brother had just died of AIDS, who had been invited. It was also my job to tell them, “I can’t tell you what to do: but...“ As we stood talking, the image of David’s pretend wax creation kept coming back to haunt me. At first Jorge, Luisa and I wept because we knew that one more time our difference would not be addressed. After making the collective decision that in the interest of the whole organization it was better not to speak, that, in essence, we would assume the standard straight disguise, Jorge turned to me and said, “After all, why not? It’s what we do best.” Well, the workshop was a huge success and the Presidents approved the program so now I know it can work without total integrity. But I lost an important part of me in the process that I’ve worked years to claim. I became that wax museum piece, moving only when no one is looking. The question for me now is, whose pain is greater, the one wearing the mask or the one surprised by the movement? Or does everybody just get numb? Being masters of disguise is, perhaps, what we do best. But I keep wondering, when do I get to move? Will there ever be that day of recognition? “Mama, they’re alive!

BANKER □ WATERMARK / October 26,1994 15 Watermark Interview: LEWIS ROUTH ACTS OUT ack toy popular demand LEWIS ROUTH, ploywrite, director and founder of ACT OUT Theatre: “Mores will be my last production with Act Out." Lewis Routh has been an integral part of gay culture in Central Florida for some time. For Routh, that may seem a back-handed accolade. He has mounted many attempts to bring gay theatre to the gay community, and the reception has been decidely mixed. His most recent production, Whores of a Different Color, played to appreciative but light audiences at the Parliament House's Footlights Theatre. And for Routh, that’s the problem. A tinge bitter, he feels that lack community support has made his job, his mission really, an uphill one. But Routh loves theatre, expecially theatre, and he remains thankfully unconvincing when he threatens to throw in the towel. I caught Routh between moving a houseful of furniture and rehearsing Whores, but he was more than willing to take the time to talk about gay theatre, Central Florida, and his life here. This man has much to say. Let’s start with something big. What is your greatest achievement? Being with the same lover for 18 years: Marlin Haindfield. He’s assisted with ACT OUT’s productions, directing and promoting. What kind of shows does ACT OUT do? Most of the shows that I have done have been in the “Community Theatre” venue, in that the actors did not get paid. I’ve always liked doing gay and lesbian plays, because it’s a real good way for us, as a community, to regain a certain amount of dignity and pride. It always seems that the examples we have of gay and lesbian images in “mainstream” theatre are kind of limited to the images that straight people have of us. For example, La Cage aux Folles is a very good show, but it’s still Drag Queen. Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart or The Destiny of Me and those victim-of-AIDS plays are also another thing that the straight community has latched onto and thought, “That’s an okay image of gay people.” But images of ourselves where we’re just real, everyday people that happen to be gay are not viable interests in the “mainstream” theatre. It’s certainly true in TV and movies. They’re touting the fact that Harvey Fierstien is on TV as an openly gay character. Well, that’s nothing new; it’s been there before. And here, he’s going back to the old stereotype. He’s an interior decorator for one. When did the ACT OUT Theatre start? I had a production company called “Midtown Productions” in Atlanta, the first gay and lesbian theatre company there. I was trying to bring a form of entertainment to the community that was something other than the drag shows and strip shows. Not that I have anything against those forms of entertainment; I love a good drag show, and I’ve certainly been known to stuff a few dancers’ baskets with dollar bills.

These stories overlap, intertwine* and ultimately create a satisfying movie on an undesirable subject - the end product is anything but rough or unfinished. The film contains three stories* all linked by Mareellus Wallace, the leader of a powerful crime and drug ring. Vincent Vega and Mareellus Wallace's Wife, is about one of Wallace’s hit men (John Travolta) taking Mrs, Wallace (Uma Thurman) out for an evening on the town; The Gold Watch is about a boxer (Bruce Willis) trying to renege bn a fight-fixing deal he’s made with Wallace, In The Bonnie Situation, Travolta mid cohort Samuel L. Jackson have to clean up after an accidental murder and contend with a restaurant robbery* All three narratives involve crime, drug abuse and violence, Writer/Director Quentin Tarantino (Reservoir Dogs, Natural Born Killers) has accomplished no small feat in tying these stories together into one cohesive, albeit Quirky, work. He has a great flair for suspense* keeping us on the edge of our seat and, hi fact* unsure if we want to see what’s coming next. Like a carnival ride* Pulp Fiction will crawl at a snail’s pace, and then suddenly begin moving at lightning speed. The plot twists* particularly in The Gold Watch would have made on the cyclic nature of both life and crime are well developed. Ill&femdvlll^ltrehgdi is its ability to humanize its distasteful characters and entertain even when plotlines come to a screeching halt. The characters are always unexpected: competing in a twist contest, making logical robbery career moves, and discussing such trivialities as why one shouldn’t eat pork, what Big Macs are called in France, and why a woman should want a pot belly. With a running time of two and a half hours* die slow parts could be trimmed a bit, but Tarantino is smart enough to inject comic moments to carry;; us through. The performances in the film are excellent.

There’s only 8 weeks until CHRISTMAS! Now calm yourself; we’re going to help you cope. Here’s something that’s sure to get you through Holiday Shopping Hell without too many scars. There’s this new little trend - the return of the board game! And a GAY game, no less. We’ve seen it advertised in OUT. We saw it on the sale table at Out & About Bookstore (but didn’t really pay attention). Now everyone wants The Rainbow Gayme. It’s a national hit and we finally checked it out. We borrowed Bruce’s ( Grey lost our order), and he reminded us that we could order this and other quality merchandise at Out & About on Mills Avenue. (Thanks, Bruce.. .and there’s your shameless plug! It’s the least we could do.) Now all that was left to do was get some people together to play. Easier said than done, so my man, Paul and I played it alone. We don’t recommend this. It just doesn’t work for two. We closed the box and waited for a small crowd to gather. As fate would have it, a small crowd (our friends Lisa and Frank) did gather at our home one night and we played the Gayme. It’s a combination of all your old favorites: Truth or Dare, Pictionary, Charades, Multiple Guess, and Balderdash. This is quite the interactive gay and lesbian history and culture game. You start in the closet and work your way around the rainbow path to “Liberation” by solving problems (like: “What does it mean if a lesbian is ‘packing’? A: She is wearing a dildo under her clothes, B: She is leaving her girlfriend, C: She is carrying a concealed weapon, or D: Any of the above.”), drawing pictures that describe “family” vocabulary (like “Glory Hole”), and acting out gay and lesbian films, books, or personalities (like “Queen of Wands”). There’s also a “group grope” that reveals some of your darkest secrets. It is fun, but we realized quickly that there aren’t enough questions, and you need a lot more than three or four people playing to make it really fun. The winner? (You’re dying to know who won, aren’t you?) Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to tell you.. .I’m gay. (I hope you’re all okay with that.) I thought I might have an advantage over Lisa, who isn’t. Surprisingly, she almost won...until she got the “Island of Lesbos” question and didn’t know who Sappho was. Ultimately, Frank snuck up from behind and snatched the crown. When all was said and done, everyone wrote down what they thought of the game. Here’s what they said: “Like any game, it’ll be fun if the people you play it with are fun,” and “Full of lots of facts and things I didn’t know,” ( FYI: Sappho’s an ancient Greek lesbian poetess, and the answer to the “packing” question is “D”.), “They could have used the cards better by putting five or six questions on each card. More questions, more fun,” “It’s a great educational tool...good for awareness and outreach,” and “Have a Kir Royale before you play. That’s three parts champagne, one part Chambord. Guaranteed success.” We all decided it’s a keeper. Add it to your gift list and order it from Out & About Books.

Went to see Sandra Bernhard’s “Excuses for Bad Behavior” show at The Club last week with a group of friends. As some of you may have heard, this show was moved to The Club after it was cancelled at the Tupperware Auditorium. Rumor has it that a lack of ticket sales at Tupperware caused this change of venue. A decent sized crowd showed up at The Club, but the show was by no means a sellout. Having seen Sandra several times before, I was extremely disappointed. The witty sarcasm and irreverence of previous shows, most notably the “Without You I’m Nothing” tour, were gone. Sandra has lost her edge. Perhaps what was cutting edge humor in the late 80’s just doesn’t play well today. Sandra’s backup band, “The Strap Ons” (great name, by the way) performed as well as the average high school garage band. Complete with a repertoire of forgettable songs from the 70’s, “Excuses” reminded me of my high school days, hanging out in the basement of my friends’ houses while we performed cover versions of radio tunes, smoking cigarettes, drinking beer, and trying to act cool. Fun at 16 perhaps, but watching Sandra and The Strap Ons playing at this old game left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed for a performer I have enjoyed in the past. BCSX SANDWICH.. .in town is the peanut butter and jelly and banana deluxe at the White Wolf Cafe. Served with a side of potato salad and a tall glass of cold milk, this is the yummiest junk food you’re gonna find. For the health and fitness crowd, the menu is loaded with salads, although I haven’t had great luck in my samplings. White Wolf is much more fun in the PM, I’ve noticed...the crowd definitely changes after the sun goes down at this cute little cafe/curio shoppe on North Orange Avenue’s Antique Row. ON THt SMAII SCRCCN: Party of Five (Monday, 9 PM, FOX) is my favorite new show of the season (an absolutely biased statement since it’s the only new show I’ve seen). Nevertheless, Party of Five is kind of like a hybrid of Melrose Place and Thirty Something. The story of five siblings living in San Francisco after the untimely death of their parents, Party focuses on relationships and coming-of-age issues, played against a chaotic but loving makeshift household headed up by the oldest brother (and absolute hunk), Charlie. What’s great about this show, besides the insider references to of-the-moment artists like Liz Phair and Sheryl Crow, is the fact that some issues simply don’t get resolved by the closing credits. If you haven’t tuned in yet (and why not, since it’s on right after MelrosellW), give it a look. AXXHC Merits: The new Warren Beatty/Annette Bening film, Love Affair, is ? remake of the 50’s An Affair To Remember, which was itself a remake of the late 30’s film Love Affair. Confused? Well, suffice it to say that some things are just better left alone. This film is nothing more than a vanity showcase for married man, Beatty, and his lovely wife Bening. The story is absurdly contrived. As we saw in Bette Midler’s Stella (a remake of Barbara Stanwyck’s Stella Dallas) old fashioned tear-jerkers don’t take kindly to 90’s remakes. A brief appearance by the great Katherine Hepburn, looking every minute of her 86 years, attempts to give this film a touch of class. It took a great deal of coaxing on Beatty’s part to get Hepburn to sign on for the role, and it was worth it, as Hepburn is the only performer in the film that wins your heart. The scenery is lovely, but it really doesn’t make up for the fact that this tired story has been told before, with much better results. After seeing this movie, I was reminded of how I felt on the day I heard Beatty and Bening tied the knot...Annette Bening deserves better!! If you’re a fan of serious acting, check out Blue Sky with Jessica Lange and Tommy Lee Jones. Blue Sky is director Tony Richardson’s last film (he died of AIDS while editing it), and is one of the films that sat on the shelf for three years after Orion Studios went bankrupt. Like some of the other releases involved in the litigation that followed the demise of Orion, this film unfortunately may not find an audience due to the lack of a wide release or expensive ad campaign. The story involves an Army family moving from one tacky base to another during the cold war years of the early 60’s, focusing on the troubled mother and wife, played by Lange. In a performance that would represent career-defining work for a lesser performer, Lange demonstrates once again that she is one of the finest American actresses working in films. Her brilliantly nuanced performance of a woman walking the very fine line of mental illness is disturbing in its reality and truly harrowing at times. Yet it is hard to take your eyes away from the screen when watching an artist at the top of her craft. Thinking About Real Estate?

It was really funny, but a lot of that happened because of the coverage we got in the straight press. It was hard in Orlando to get coverage [of any kind] when ACT OUT started here. We were doing a new play every month. I wasn’t saying to them, “Come and review the shows, and be honest in your reviews.’’ I wanted them to run the pictures and press releases that I sent them, and they wouldn’t. And because of the community’s lack of support, the theatre I’ve done has been associated with one bar or another. The ticket sales from our productions go to organizations that support the community. We keep enough [money] to pay for the show and put some in our coffers for the next show, but a portion goes to some organization. That is something that I think I’ve done that is good. What are some of ACT OUT’s greatest accomplishments? We were recognized by one of the fathers of gay and lesbian theatre, Robert Patrick. He was a playwright that spoke about gay issues in the early days. He came to Orlando, and I was ashamed. Here I had gone to all of the trouble bringing him here, at ACT OUT Theatre’s expense, only to be told by the gay papers that they didn’t know who he was and they weren’t interested in talking to him. And yet, the news media from Channel 6, which is probably the most homophobic news program that we have, was real interested in doing an on site interview with him at the Civic Theatre, where we were doing our production. It’s those kinds of things that have left me a little jaded, if you will, with Orlando’s gay and lesbian community. I want them to get their shit together and do something more for themselves. Do you think it’s because we’re kind of a new community that we’re not sure how to handle situations like that or how to recognize their accomplishments? Because we are a new community... I do know that, but I feel that our decision making [is poor]. They feel safe in the bars, because they have this idea that gay theatre equals sex or pornography. Gay art is in the back room, and when you move it to the front-people are afraid if it. We really are a pom-culture; we think being gay is exclusively these trashy, pornographic images, but I don’t agree, and I don’t promote that. It’s only one-tenth of who I am, I don’t know about you. Because of this kind of attitude [in the press and community], Whores will be my last production with ACT OUT. A friend of mine, Rebecca Ranson is moving to Orlando from Atlanta. She believes theatre should be used to educate, and I’d sure like to pass on the reigns to her. If she doesn’t [take them], PULP FICTION From Page 15 crime clean-up specialist, are particularly good. Most impressive is the frequently underappreciated Bruce Willis. Tarantino aims for a “retro” feeling in the film, filling the soundtrack with music from the sixties and the seventies. One of the most interesting scenes is when Travolta and Thurman are patrons of a fifties-style restaurant complete with antique cars as eating booths and celebrity look-alikes as waiters. If it weren’t for the presence of cellular phones and sophisticated drugs and I don’t know what’s going to happen to ACT OUT Theatre. It may just close up. You closed once before, right? I tried to go to clubs in town that had stages, but they weren’t interested in what we were doing. A couple of them told me right to my face that our shows sucked, which kind of hurt my feelings, and maybe they did. But people asked me to come back, and we did Street Theatre this past June for the Gay Pride Benefit, and they stayed away in droves. We had more actors on stage than people in the audience. What are some of the plays you’ve done that have been popular? Bar Dykes, a 1950’s style lesbian play written by Maryl Mushroom. It was ourhigh- JETT CANARY & DREW DAVENPORT from Lewis Routh's Whores of A Different Color. est attended show, and that had to do with the lesbians coming out as well as our male dominated audience. And Whores of a Different Color, the one we’re re-doing this month. It packed them in. I think that has a lot to do with the fact that it’s got “Whores” in the title, and the other one had “Dyke” in the title. Anything that’s got any kind of a sex act in the title, [like] “Masturbators from Hell,” would sell out before we opened the door. What was your most artistically satisfying production? The production of Pouf Positive by Robert Patrick, and Safe Sex, by Harvey Fierstein. Paul Wegman was in both of them. Safe Sex is set on an enormous seesaw with the two actors rocking back and forth, talking about the balance between two men who are in love. Artistically, it was the most difficult show to mount. At one point, one of the actors gets off the seesaw and walks to the other side and the seesaw stays perfectly balanced. It was the most rewarding show. weapons, Pulp Fiction could pass as a period piece. The film even abandons the conventions of temporal continuity to smartly place its strongest statement at the film’s end: Jack-son, holding a gun to a robber’s head, quotes Ezechiel and ponders who is righteous and who is evil. After witnessing the tables turn, seeing the hunters become the hunted and vice versa, we understand that in the world of crime, good and evil are frequently indistinguishable. If you can make the time to see it, Pulp Fiction is worth the investment. WATERMARK / October 26,1994 19 ARTFUL-LUil&Ui Dearest Readers, When last we spoke, I'd left your cliff’s hanging and your participles dangling. Hand me my bloody and gather ‘round. Let’s finish this frightening tale before Halloween. The brouhaha surrounding Lily O’Shaughnessy on the set of my Jewish-Western epic, “Shoot Out At The Oy Vey Corral,” had reached a climactic head. The has-been harlot/starlet, sweet Lily, had disappeared from the set and a mysterious cloaked figure, wielding a gas can was seen lurking in the shadows. Suddenly there was a scream...a shrill, banshee-like howl not heard since Lori Del Mar discovered a burned-out Christmas light just as holiday guests rang her doorbell. Then there was an explosion...so loud, so unexpected, that it rocked my world, my boobs, and my last nerve. It was a fireball of such intense heat that my permanent eyeliner jumped off and ran for cover. As the flames subsided and the dust settled, we discovered company; a body, burned beyond recognition. Who was it? What was it? My bloody, please...I panic just thinking about it! Well...at first, we thought it was the charred remains of an unfortunate stagehand caught in a real-life “bonfire of the vanities." Or was it vanity herself...the evil Lily? As soon as I checked to make sure it was no part of my already petrified anatomy, I ordered the best boy to get the disgusting blob out of my sight before I blew chunks! But as the body was removed I detected something -pdcLsomething queer. Not that I pay attention to genitalia, but this charcoal briquet had three sets! One in front, one in back, and a third on top of its head, conveniently camouflaged by a singed but still obviously cheap toupee. Then it struck me. This bizarre creature was my makeup man, Mr. Stanley; the only one who would go to such lengths to conceal an otherwise amusing and potentially serviceable deformity) Sad really, to have to go through life one-third man, one-third woman, and one-third schmeckle-head. His horrific secret was out from under his hat, so to speak. Just then a bewildered Lily staggered drunkenly into the room wielding a gun and reeking of tequila and gasoline (a “T&G,” one of her favorite libations). Like a post-stroke Bette Davis, she slurred, “Who killed my sister? Who killed the wicked bitch of the East?” She lurched toward me. "Was it you, ‘my pretty?” she asked. I remember thinking to myself, "My God! The Vizard of Oz is the best she can do at a time like this? Wouldn’t something a little more Susan Hayward work better?” I recalled a scene from my own much-praised “prison movie” period. “Not me Baby,” I spit. "And the cheap theatrics will get you nowhere except the late, late show, so CAN it!” Lily was reduced to a pile of tears, sobbing as she told a sordid tale of lust and cross-dressing...and the love of a woman for a man with three sets of genitalia. A story so incredible that had I not heard it with my own ears, I’m sure I would have heard it with someone else’s. Lily’s affair with Mr. Stanley had been a nightmare of drunken lovemaking, stretched out sweaters, and Mary Kay parties. And it had all become too much. She planned to leave him that fateful night, and after a “heated” backstage argument, Lily left in a huff only to discover that her car was out of gas. A bitch as resourceful as she is mean, she found a gas can in props and stormed outside to bum a ride to a gas station. When no one stopped for her (quel surprise!), she stormed back inside and pulled out her small pearl-handled revolver. Stanley would take her to get gas or DIE! But it was too late. Stanley had already...combusted. There is an epilogue, dear fans. Lily was confined to an asylum; a prisoner of her own selfish, uncaring, loathesome personality. The story is now being worked into a script for, what else, my comeback. And the moral is: "Two’s company, three’s a crowd,” or “If you can’t stand the heat, don’t burst into flames,” or most touchingly, “Please God, don’t let me wake up with a penis on my head!” Until next time... * Loads of love, /,_________ STREAM Confidential to Clarissa Get that thing out of my face! :^5CiAU5)NE55 ▼ Out * About Books’ Bruce Ground turns 32 (Chicken!) on October 28.

Featured are a female sports reporter (we just know she goes kicking and screaming into makeup), and a lot of comfortable, positive references about gay newsmakers and gay culture. The week of National Coming Out Day, gay and lesbian guests like the editor of Out Magazine were featured every night. Last Call is a glimpse of the future and we like it. ▼ While on the subject of FOX, pick a word...hunk, humpy, humunculous, hunkubine, hunkster, humporama.. .to describe Howie Lons from their new football broadcasting team.

Paul always led his own life.” “Transitions” may include memorials, remembrances, weddings, anniversaries, promotions, and other announcements. Please send submissions with photo to WATERMARK • P.0.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The Solar Eclipse on 11 -3 will make its presence felt in joint financial dealings, including marital or partnership funds. Relatedly, your mate’s employment situation may change. If she is working overtime, it may stop; if he is unemployed, he will get off the sofa and eventually stop caring about his soaps. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Major relationship changes may occur for you Bulls during the next year. If you’re in love, don’t take it for granted. If you’re single,.odds are you won’t be for long. But make it a point to be patient and seek balance and harmony in all partnerships. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 20): It’s Deal-A-Meal time! Focus on health and proper diet, and while you’re at it, take a look in your mirror and your closet. If you look the same as your high school yearbook picture, now’s the time to be adventurous... with clothes, haircut, the works. CANCER (Jun 21-JuI 22): November’s Solar Eclipse will likely advance relationships that are presently in the “casual” stages. Accept all invitations... even the dullest... and you may be pleasantly surprised. Also look for a birth in the family, or at least increased activities ;with children. Just don’t take the kids to any theater I’m in. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Emphasis is on family matters, especially your opposite-sex parent, and on home life. Buying, selling, or remodeling are all possibilities. And if you work out of your home, that may also be affected. Otherwise, old matters may be resolved for you, and now would be a good time to initiate future plans. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): There will be a big change in your attitude this year. You may even acquire one. Attend to interactions with siblings, as well as with neighbors and friends you treat like “family.” Lots of short trips and interesting correspondences will make life fun. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Your personal income will demand full attention in the coming months. A marked change in the way you earn money is likely. Evaluate your resources, as unexpected expenses or fluctuations in income should be expected. But this is an excellent time to make long-term plans for your financial future. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Don’t be surprised if acquaintences pull the, “Is that you?” number, ‘cause you’re due to experience noticable changes in your personal appearance. Weight loss, a new hairstyle, even cosmetic surgery are all possibilities. By all means enjoy all the positive attention; just don’t ignore your partner, who may need some reinforcement. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Watch your health this year, and don’t hesitate to seek professional advice if it seems warranted. Just don’t put it off. However, do put off any changes in your work situation... this is not the time. Take pleasure in solitude and introspection. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Social ties, group activities and friendships are all enhanced; they will take up a large portion of your time, so prioritize and budget wisely. A cherished goal will motivate you. And as off-the-wall as it may sound, consider exploring exotic religions, or even the occult; the mind-trip may prove worthwhile for you. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Febl8): Smile. You are very much in the public eye. Enjoy it, but watch your backside and be ready to defend your actions. Above all, protect your reputation and don’t compromise future financial security. A parent’s health may be a major source for concern, and may alter your life pattern significantly. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Watch for a major shake-up among relatives, particularly those who live far away. Travel plans may be delayed or cancelled altogether. That’s OK. This is an important time for you to reevaluate personal spirituality and philosophy, thus paving the way for positive growth in your outlook and personality. ^tSQimwiGe 9^0/tist 846-4113 (Kissimmee) 348-4033 (B.

Prior to this one, my former (all long-term) partners and I have been amicable through and since each separation. Not so this time. How do I deal with an angry, bitter ex who is certain I’m out to screw her financially, despite both my legal and verbal commitments to the contrary? Signed, At A Loss Dear At A Loss, With the ending of a relationship, feelings of grief, loss and anger will frequently surface. Some individuals have difficulty managing these feelings. When they are too uncomfortable, these feelings are often misdirected to material matters. This appears to be the root of the problem, and in fact your ex-partner sounds like she’s using division-of-property issues to maintain a relationship with you, at any cost and of whatever kind. You must set boundaries so that you are not manipulated by her. I have two suggestions. On a personal level, take some time out from the conflict by not interacting with each other for an agreed upon period of time. If the situation continues, find a counselor who can offer assistance in the termination process by providing a format and safe arena for talking through unresolved feelings. Once the emotions are dealt with, it will be easier for both parties to move on. Watermark ‘s Advice-O-Rama counselor is Keith Baber, M.Ed.. Keith has a degree in Counseling-Psychology, and is in private practice in Altamonte Springs. He can be reached at (407) 834-3279.

WATERMARK / October 26,1994 26 SPORTS GAY FITNESS CENTER SEEKS NEW IMAGE by Kelly A. Kersey The New Image Fitness Center is a serious work-out facility with some PR hurdles to overcome. Located next to two bars, The Eagle and City Lights, New Image occupies the same space as the former Club Body Center, a...well, it was a bath house. Indeed the unassuming facade, devoid of windows, looks like anything but the ubiquitous fitness mega-centers with rows of exercycles on display. But in fact, New Image is equipped to compete with Bally’s and other heavily advertised fitness centers. The gym houses a full line of nautilus and universal exercise equipment, as well as free weights. New Image also offers medium and low-impact aerobics classes for their predominantly gay male membership. During my visit to the club I found a great many “fitness freaks,” with gym bag in tow, who’d clearly been using the equipment provided in pursuit of just the right “buff.” Membership at New Image is limited to men. Management explains that there is only one locker and shower area, and the inclusion of women would turn the laid back, almost club-like atmosphere into a potentially uncomfortable environment for men and women alike. Membership is not restricted to gay men only, but a majority of New Image members are just that. “Our members don’t have to be gay as long as they know its a predominantly gay atmosphere and they’re not offended by it,” says New Image’s certified personal trainer, Andrew. And that’s one of New Image’s distinct advantages. Gay members need not huddle together and dish in whispered tones like they would, and do, at other fitness centers. The other advantage, and its a big one, is that New Image is open 24 hours a day. Those who work unusual hours, or who’s energy cycles don’t jive with standard hours, can get a full work out in at any time of day or night. Because New Image is an all gay club, it’s also a great place to meet new people, but therein lies the dilemma for New Image; an all gay male fitness club with showers, lockers, towels and all that stuff. Where does one cross the line from appropriate flirting too, well, you know. “I have not seen anything here that I have not seen at Bally’s,” says Andrew. “We have a strict policy that does not allow sexual activity, drugs or alcohol. If we see it, we’re supposed to stop it and we do.” The New Image Fitness Center is located at 3400 S. Orange Blossom Trail. For membership information, call (407) 420-9890.

Sanford, Henry Shelton, 1823-1891 Banks and banking--Florida Description Collection of documents related to the financial accounts of Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891), an American diplomat, lawyer, and businessman. Born in Derby, Connecticut, Sanford eventually joined the United States Diplomatic Corps in 1849. During his initial tenure in the Diplomatic Corps, Sanford served as Secretary of the American Legation at Paris. In 1853, he was promoted to the position of Chargé D'Affaires in France. In 1861, President Lincoln named Sanford as the U.S. Minister to Belgium. During the Civil War, Sanford served as a fiscal agent for the U.S. Government and supervised the U.S. Secret Service in Europe. After his tenure as Minister to Belgium, Sanford played a role in the establishment of the Congo Free State, a vast colony in Equatorial Africa under the direct control of the Belgian King Leopold II. In particular, it was Sanford who lobbied U.S. President Chester A. Arthur to recognize King Leopold's colony, a move that sparked broader international recognition of the Congo Free State. He also served as a delegate for the American Geographical Society at the International African Association Congress established by Leopold II and held in Brussels in 1887. Sanford organized the "Sanford Exploring Expedition," an expedition that served to answer scientific and commercial inquiries in the Congo. Aside from his diplomatic career, Sanford was also a businessman and investor. He made several real estate investments in Florida in the late 1860s and early 1870s, the most notable being the purchase of the "Sanford Grant" in May 1870. The grant encompassed over 20 square miles and provided the basis for the town that eventually bore Sanford's name. Sanford was convinced that Florida would prove a profitable place to invest. Anticipating significant traffic and commerce by waterway, Sanford bought a land grant positioned on Lake Monroe along the St. Johns River. The city of Sanford thus became deemed the "Gate City of South Florida" - the southernmost stop along the river. During the 1870s, Sanford invested significant amounts of money to the development of his city - he built a wharf, several hotels, a general store, and a sawmill - all of which he hoped would spur investment and growth in the city. Sanford also developed several experimental citrus groves in his Florida city. The first was St. Gertrude's Grove. The second and more successful grove was Belair, developed in the early 1870s. Though Sanford never lived in Florida, he did visit occasionally from the late 1860s until his death in 1891. His diplomatic and business duties kept him preoccupied abroad, and most of his development in Florida was undertaken by representatives and confidants. Following the "Great Freeze" of 1888, Sanford's Belair grove was destroyed. Sanford was committed to rebuilding the grove and, in the late stages of his life, he committed his energies to his Florida investments. He died several years later though, and his wife Gertrude, in an effort to settle debts owed in Europe and elsewhere following his death, sold many of Sanford's properties in Florida.

Sanford, Henry S. (Henry Shelton) 1823-1891 Banks and banking--Florida Description This is a bank statement created by D. G. Ambler for Edwin G. Eastman. The statement provides a list of deposits and transfers between March and June 1871. Ambler was a banker located in Jacksonville, Florida, who handled the financial and banking needs of Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) and his respective agents and representatives while they tended to Sanford's Florida properties. Eastman, meanwhile, was an associate of Sanford. The two initially met through their mutual service in the U.S. Diplomatic Corps during the American Civil War. Eastman served as an advisor and representative to Sanford for a brief period between 1870 and 1871. Eastman oversaw operations in the what would become Sanford, Florida, beginning in December 1870. He was put in charge by Henry Sanford to ensure the successful management of the sawmill built in 1870, He was also tasked with maintaining the various experimental groves owned by Sanford, first St. Gertrude's Grove and later Belair Grove. The more successful of the two, Belair Grove, was an experimental grove located three miles southwest of the city named after Sanford. It was part of the Sanford Grant, a 12,547.15-square-acre allotment of land purchased by Henry Sanford in 1870. In Belair, Sanford introduced over 140 varieties of citrus plants. All were tested to determine if Florida citrus growers could effectively grow and introduce new varieties into the burgeoning citrus market. Sanford also grew exotic plants acquired from Central and South America, many of which survived the 1886 freeze. Sanford mainly used Belair as his own experiment station, but ultimately the findings and reports would be used by other citrus growers throughout Florida. Eventually, following Sanford's death in 1891, his wife, Gertrude Ellen Dupuy Sanford (1841-1902), handed over the operations of Belair to Sydney Octacius Chase, Sr. (1860-1941) and Joshua Coffin Chase (1858-1948).

Bok, Edward William, 1863-1930 Botanical gardens--Florida--Orlando Bird sanctuaries Carillons--United States Description Booklet about the Bok Tower Gardens published in 1950. Edward Bok retired to the town of Lake Wales, Florida. Bok set out a plan to establish a natural garden and bird sanctuary where people to visit to quietly enjoy nature.He engaged Frederick Law Olmstead, Jr. to design the grounds and asked architect Milton B. Medary to design and build a carillon tower. Lee Lawrie, a noted sculptor from New York, designed the elaborate marble sculpture that adorns the tower. Work was completed in 1928 and, on February 1, 1929, President Calvin Coolidge dedicated the sanctuary. Edward Bok died less than a year later in 1930 and was buried at the foot of the tower. The tower and the carillon housed inside is Bok Tower Gardens' most distinctive feature. The carillon consists of sixty bells, ranging in size from 16 pounds to just under 12 tons. The bells are played like an organ with the keys connected to the clappers of each bell. Bok Tower has had only three regular carillonneurs in its more than 70 years. The sanctuary's first carillonneur was Anton Brees, serving as the only carillonneur from 1928 until 1967. Milford Myhre has been the resident carillonneur since 1968. William De Turk has been the assistant carillonneur since 1993. De Turk is also the librarian of the Anton Brees Carillon Library, which is reportedly the largest and most comprehensive carillon library in the world.

A PERSONAL FOREWORD The inspiration for the Sanctuary and the Tower came of that stuff of which dreams are made. The two combined a dream ti carry on the work of my grandfather, who a hundred years ago transformed a grim desert island in the North Sea, ten miles from the Netherlands mainland, into a bower of green verdure and trees to which came the birds which made the island famed. But an inspiration is of little value if it is not carried into realization, and I was fortunate to enlist the deep interest and sympathetic cooperation of two men who are responsible for what the visitor sees: Frederick Law Olmsted for the Sanctuary and Milton B. Medary for the Tower. Naturally, I could not have obtained two men more thoroughly fitted to give me what I wanted to present to the American people for visitation, and what has been so often called "The Taj Mahal of America"--a spot which would reach out in its beauty through the plantings, through the flowers, through the birds, through the superbly beautiful architecture of the Tower, through the music of the bells, to the people and fill their souls with the quiet, the repose, the influence of the beautiful, as they could see and enjoy it in the Sanctuary and through the Tower. An incidentally it gave me a wonderful opportunity to follow and carry out the injunction of my grandmother to her children and grandchildren: "Wherever your lives may be cast, make you the world a bit better or more beautiful because you have lived in it." That is the basis upon which the Sanctuary and the Tower rests. Edward W. Bok Date Copyrighted 1950 Contributor Cook, Thomas Adam and Eve Allen, J. H.

Title RICHES Podcast Documentaries, Episode 19: The Home of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Alternative Title Home of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Podcast Subject Podcasts Documentaries Bethune, Mary McLeod, 1875-1955 Bethune-Cookman College (Daytona Beach, Fla.) Daytona Beach (Fla.) Historic houses, etc. Description Episode 19 of RICHES Podcast Documentaries: The Home of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune. RICHES Podcast Documentaries are short form narrative documentaries that explore Central Florida history and are locally produced. These podcasts can involve the participation or cooperation of local area partners. Episode 19 focuses on the home of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune. In this podcast, director of the Mary McLeod Bethune Foundation, Margaret Symonette, discusses the history of the historic home. Bethune was an African-American teacher and civil rights leader best known for establishing the Daytona Educational and Industrial Training School in October 1904. In 1923, the school merged with the Cookman Institute of Jacksonville and then became affiliated with the Methodist Church the following year. The school served as a co-educational high school until 1931, when it became a junior college. In 1941, the school was accredited as a four-year college and was renamed Bethune-Cookman College. Abstract In this podcast we take a walk through the home of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune. Few have walked down the hallways in which ideas were formed. Margaret Symonet[sic] takes us through a history of the home which housed one of Central Florida’s most well known women.

Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of jazz in Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. The roots of jazz music began in the fields of the American South, as African-American slaves sang “call-and-response” work songs and “spirituals” to help them get through the brutal hours of forced labor. As Europeans immigrated to American cities in the late 19th century, they brought their musical traditions with them, and soon African-American musicians, such as Ernest Hogan and Scott Joplin, combined these styles with polyrhythmic African music, creating ragtime. New Orleans was an especially diverse cultural melting pot and became a place for musical experimentation by the early 1910s. European music merged with blues, folk, marching band music, and ragtime, creating a new genre called “jazz.” By the 1920s, the First Great Migration brought millions of African Americans to the urban Northeast and Midwest. Young, white Americans became enamored with jazz and blues music and the genre was soon being played on radio stations, at dancehalls, and in homes across the country. New York City, Kansas City, and Chicago began to establish their own styles of jazz. Big band swing became the most popular style of American music in the 1930s and 1940s. The most definitive feature of jazz is improvisation. The Great Depression forced many bands to cut down in size, leaving more space for intricate melodies and room for exploration. Bebop, which emerged in New York in the early 1940s, was aimed at a listening audience, rather than a dancing one, and became known as “musician’s music.” Bebop paved the way for Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz in the 1950s, when musicians, such as Dizzy Gillespie and Duke Ellington, incorporated Latin rhythms by playing with Cuban musicians in New York. The popularity of rock music in the 1960s and 1970s led to jazz-rock fusion, which combined improvisation with rock rhythms and amplified instruments. By the 1980s, smooth jazz emerged, creating a commercial form of the genre that drew criticism from many purists, who felt that the musicians were more concerned with making money than creating art with substance. Although Florida might not be as closely associated with jazz as cities like New Orleans, Chicago, and New York City, it has made significant contributions nonetheless. Afro-Cuban jazz developed simultaneously in New York City and Havana in the early 1940s, and Florida’s Cuban immigrants had a profound cultural impact on areas like Miami and Tampa. Since its foundation in 1979, the annual Jacksonville Jazz Festival has become one of the most popular jazz festivals in the country, featuring some of the top names in the genre, such as Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Count Basie, George Benson, and Herbie Hancock. The Clearwater Jazz Holiday began around the same time and has also evolved into a major international jazz festival. In addition to the legendary Sam Rivers, who moved to Orlando in the early 1990s and continued to perform until his death in 2011, Florida has been the home to a number of prominent jazz musicians, including Cedric Wallace, Ira Sullivan, George Tucker, Nathen Page, Alfred “Pee Wee” Ellis, Jackie Davis, Rich Matteson, Jeff Rupert, and the University of Central Florida’s Jazz Professors.

Commissioner Arthur also served as the chairman of the Lake Apopka subcommittee of the Environmental Resources Committee of the Orlando Area Chamber of Commerce. Gourd Neck Springs is a small spring located in the southwest portion of Lake Apopka, in a small cove called “Gourd Neck” due to its distinctive shape. This area of the lake was considered in the 1960s as a potential nursery for fish. The Lake Apopka Technical Committee explored damming the Gourd Neck, separating it from the lake and preventing polluted lake water from entering, but these plans did not materialize. Efforts were also made in the 1960s to have the Gourd Neck area purchased by the State of Florida for use as a public park. The Gourd Neck Springs Park Association was formed in 1961 to study the site’s potential for a park and lobby for support from legislators. The land bordering the area was privately-owned by various individuals. One of these, Gary Sharp, continued seeking support for a park into the 1970s. While the project received support from Florida legislators and environmentalists, the land was never purchased by the state.

Um, the interview is conducted by myself, Sarah Schneider, at the Alafaya [Library] Branch of the Orange County Library System, um, in Orlando, Florida. It’s Friday, March 13th, twe—2015, and, um, the interview will cover topics about Oviedo’s history and the Aulin family’s history, and, um, this is being done for the UCF [University of Central Florida] Public History introduction class, um, for their project on Oviedo’s history. So welcome. Thank you for talking with us today. Aulin Well, I’m glad to be here. Schneider [laughs]. Aulin [laughs]. Schneider Um, and so could you start off just introducing yourself, um, to the camera. So tell yourself a little—tell us a little bit about yourself, um, where you grew up, and how long you’ve been in Oviedo. Aulin Okay, I, um, was born and raised in Orlando. Um, remember Orlando from when it was, uh, 75,000 until now. uh, I married my husband<a title="">[1]</a> in 1965, and prior to that, I had been to Oviedo many times. my grandparents lived in Chuluota, uh, but I wasn’t, you know, didn’t really know people from Oviedo, but, uh, my husband, uh, went to Vietnam in 1965 through ’66, and during that time, uh, I lived with his aunt, who was, uh, Nettie [Dorcas] Jacobs Aulin. She was married to, uh, Theodore Aulin, who everybody called “The Judge,”, because he was Justice of the Peace. Schneider Ah. Aulin And, uh, in addition to that, my mother-in-law,<a title="">[2]</a> at that time, was living and she lived in Oviedo, and we had a close relationship. Schneider Uh huh, great, um, and so what was life like in or—in Oviedo when you moved here—in the area? Aulin Well, it was sorta cool. Um, the big events happened through the [First] Methodist Church [of Oviedo] or the [First] Baptist Church [of Oviedo]. uh, anything that was going on it was either through that or the—or the [Seminole County Public] Schools. Um, people—it was a big deal to go into Orlando out to eat. You know, you didn’t just do that willy-nilly. You, eh—it was an occasion. Um, what I loved about that time is, uh, Oviedo had one police officer, and that was, um, George Kelsey, and his family had been here I think as long as the Aulins, uh, and he, uh, took care of the town. He, uh, would sleep, I think, in the early morning and then be around 18 hours a day doing his job, and he did it well. I don’t think we had too much crime. Uh, one of the things is, uh—Aunt Nettie—when I was living with her, we had an armadillo that bothered us, and she called Mr. Kelly[sic]—Mr. Kelsey to, uh, come get rid of that armadillo, and he says, “Well, Aunt Nettie, I’ll—I’ll be there as soon as I can. I just got in bed,” and she said, “Well, he’s out in our yard now, you need to come by now.” [laughs]. Schneider [laughs]. Aulin So he did. He came, and, uh, he says, “Okay. Well, I’m here. Where’s the armadillo?” And we—of course, the armadillo was gone by the time he got there, and she says, “Well, just hang around. you can shoot it,” and he says, “I don’t think I’m gonna be shooting armadillos, Aunt Nettie,” and—because, you know, everybody called everybody “Aunt” or “Ms.” or—you know, it wasn’t just first names, and she was, uh—one of his best friend’s son, er—her son was one of his best friends, and so, of course, he wanted to accommodate her, but he didn’t [laughs]—he wanted to be shooting armadillos in Downtown Oviedo. We lived right across from the Baptist church. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin So that wouldn’t have gone over very well, but that’s just sorta how Oviedo was back in those days—is that everybody knew everybody, and, uh, like the mayor of the time was, uh—oh, gosh, what was his name?<a title="">[3]</a> He was so nice. Um, it’ll come to me, but anyway, he used to go to the post office every morning and bring me my mail. You know, you’re not supposed to let somebody have somebody else’s mail, but he would bring me my mail, because my husband, being in Vietnam, he would write to me every day, and so this mayor would, uh—gosh, why can’t I think of his name? Um, he would bring me my mail, and, uh, it was just sorta, you know—sorta like, uh, small town, uh, neighborly kinda things that went on, back in those days. Schneider Great, great, and did you mention, um—what year did you come to Oviedo? Aulin I was, uh… Schneider I’m not… Aulin We got married in ‘65, and he soon left to go to Vietnam right after that. So, yeah, ’65. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And I was working at the Townhouse Restaurant, and it was like a year old Schneider Oh. Aulin When I started to work there. Schneider Wow, uh, huh. Aulin And so it’s been an institution… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin For many years now. Schneider Yeah, Um, and what kinds of people—what kinds of jobs did people have in town around that time? Aulin Well, most everybody worked at either the packin’ house or in the groves, and you know, of course, there was the insurance companies, and there was real estate, uh, people back, at that time. Oviedo was beginning to build up, because the [Florida Technological] University<a title="">[4]</a> was in the works… Schneider Oh. Aulin And people were moving out this way and buying houses, and, um—but farming and, um, the citrus was[sic] the main jobs, uh, I think, uh, at the time. At some point in time, I went to work for Citizens Bank [of Oviedo],<a title="">[5]</a> and at that time, it was like the, uh, only—the—the next largest business that wasn’t, uh, uh, the packin’ house… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin You know, and, uh, I think it was the only building, at that time, that had an elevator, and it may still be. Schneider Huh. Aulin I don’t know. I can’t—I don’t know if there’s any buildings in the actual town that has an elevator, besides that. Maybe they do. I don’t know, but that was sort of a big deal that they had an elevator... Schneider Uh huh. Aulin To [inaudible], uh, but yeah. There was one—I—I I’m trying to think if there was any other major jobs. Uh, there was your, uh—you know, you had school teachers and that kind of thing, but mostly it was farming. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin Something to do with farming. Schneider Uh huh, and you mentioned people going to Orlando. that was a special treat. What other kinds of things did people do for fun in town? Aulin Oh, back then they, uh—ball games. They were really into, um, the different ball games, so like baseball, football. The Oviedo, um—had just—the [Oviedo] High School had just started over, at, uh, Career Field, and, uh, they had their first football game—a team for the school’s in 1964—maybe ‘63—but it was a very good team. By 1965, they had, uh, uh—were winning a lot of games, and people really supported them, and, eh, little league and—and all that. people were really into that. I remember [laughs] when we came home from, uh, our honeymoon, the—after we took our luggage to his mother’s house—we went to, uh, a baseball game. Schneider Oh. Aulin You know, who does that? Schneider [laughs]. Aulin [laughs] But, eh, you know, it was the community thing, I think, uh, maybe because the community was so small, but people were active. If, um, you—even if you didn’t have children playin’ ball, you still wanted to go to support them and be there, and, uh, it was just, like I said, small town U.S.A. Schneider Uh huh, great. Um, and so what is Oviedo-life like today? What… Aulin Well [laughs]... Schneider [laughs]. Aulin I—I think that, um—I, uh, think that it’s still very neighborly, but more secular. Uh… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin I think there’s, uh—you know, people who live out on this side of town sort of do their kind of thing with their kids and their schools, and on the other side of town, the same thing, you know? I think that, uh, it—I—I think Oviedo still sort of has a reputation of being friendly and has that small town atmosphere kind of thing. Um, I don’t know if you’ve looked on the website. There’s an Oviedo community web—website, and people… Schneider Oh, okay. Aulin Go in with their gripes and—or their happy things, or… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin You know, whatever. So it’s still, uh—technology’s sorta caught up with us, and... Schneider Uh huh. Aulin But I don’t think in a negative way. I think that’s sort of a good thing. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin So… Schneider Great, um, and has—is there anything else that has changed in Oviedo since you’ve lived here that you—that you’ve noticed? Aulin Oh, I’m sure they’re lots of changes that I, you know—of course, they’re building new buildings and tearing down old buildings. Um, citrus has not gained or even [inaudible]. Schneider [laughs]. Aulin [laughs] and citrus is leaving us, and so is, uh, when—when we were first—when I first came here to Oviedo, um, out in Black Hammock, there was celery growing and cabbage and onions, and there was always something growing out there, and Now, there’s really nothing. There’s palm trees, but with the building industry not being too hot, they’re just growing and growing. They’re not being sold, uh, and I don’t even see much sod being sold. Um, uh, we, uh—all that has changed. It’s just not agriculture any more, and, uh, you know, then, uh, it’s modern times. I think people are, um, you know, since we’ve started here, there’s been integration, and so, that’s a big difference in Oviedo. um, people working together of different races and things like that, and I think it’s going pretty well. Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin Um, so… Schneider Okay, great. Um, so do you have any other stories—memorable stories about your time living in Oviedo, um, while you’ve been living there? Aulin Well [laughs]… Schneider [laughs]. Aulin There’s been like the—I think it was, uh, one of the packing houses out on, uh, [Florida State Road] 46 caught on fire. This was in the early maybe 70s—maybe late 60s… Schneider Hm. Aulin And, uh, that was a huge deal. I mean, everybody, uh, was going out to see that fire…. Schneider Oh. Aulin Uh, but, uh—and of course, there’s been, u, funny things that’s happened, and I—right now, I can’t think of any[laughs], but, uh—you know, personal things—but, uh, eh, Just the change and the times, and the university, like I said, started it all. Uh, people started moving out here and then, because there was now new bedroom communities. Uh, then other businesses, that catered to that, have moved out here. I mean, we’ve got so many food, you know, restaurants and places to get food, and, uh, we don’t—and, you know, we’ve got a [Oviedo] Mall. Who would’ve ever though Oviedo would have a mall, and all these different places? Uh, It’s, uh, a very—like if—if you think back—1965 and today—it’s like two different worlds… Schneider Hm. Aulin Until you get down to the nitty gritty of it and start talking to people that actually live here. They still—still, I think, sorta have the same mindset. Schneider Hm. Aulin Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s what I think. Schneider Huh. Um, alright. So what family stories have you heard, uh, about Oviedo’s early history? So before you lived here. Aulin Well, my, um, mother-in-law, who I, uh, learned so much from, she, uh, came here when she was I think 17—maybe 18 years old—from Lake Monroe, Florida, which is right outside of, uh, Sanford. Uh, she came out here because there was a lady that was running the hotel in Oviedo, that was right where the main red light is, um, in Oviedo. It was sort of east, uh, or south of that, and, uh, since then, of course, it’s burned down, and—but, uh, she came out to actually take care of the lady’s children while the lady ran the hotel. The [?] t turned into—she became like the telephone operator there, and, uh, I think she is noted as the first telephone operator in, uh, Oviedo, because, you know, that was a big deal back then too, and she, uh—that’s where she met her husband.<a title="">[6]</a> Uh, he worked across the way at the packing house with his, you know—his—the people who owned the packing house were relatives of his. Not that—I—I don’t think it was nepotism that he had a job there. It’s just there were not many other places to work, but, um, she met him there, and she learned how to pack fruit just by sittin’ around. I guess that was their courting days, you know? Schneider Hm. Aulin “Here, let me show you how [laughs] to pack fruit.” Schneider [laughs]. Aulin But, uh—and she used to tell me, um, or she told me once that, uh, she—when they courted, uh, her husband’s, uh, cousin, would loan him his car, and it was a roadster, and I never quite got the concept of what a roadster is, but I do know that, uh, one of the cars that they rode around in had the rumble seat in the back Schneider Ah. Aulin And when they would double date, she and her husband always had to be in the rumble seat, but when it was just the two of them, they would—a big date would be him taking her to Lake Monroe to visit her parents [laughs]. Schneider [laughs] Oh. Aulin So—but anyway, they, uh—they—she used to tell me stories about how they dressed, and, you know, her husband, um, was sort of dashing. I think he wore this straw, Panama hat or somethin’, and, uh, she was a great seamstress, so she made all her clothes, and she was seamstress for Oviedo. She, uh, made so many wedding dresses for people, and, uh, I think she sewed for about—oh, gosh. I want to say about 40 years… Schneider Oh. Aulin And she was really great. Uh, she would make you clothes that—as a matter of fact, there was one person in Oviedo that used to take her to, uh, Winter Park, and they would sketch out the dresses in the windows… Schneider Oh. Aulin And then she would come back and make them for this person, and, you know, for hardly any money at all, and in Winter Park, it would cost like, 20 times whatever she charged… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin Because they were very nice dresses, but, uh—and she did that up until she was in her ‘60s. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And, uh, everybody loved to have her make them a dress, and she always was—loved to do it, because it was like her calling. It was her art. It was her thing, and, uh, she really enjoyed that very, very much, and, uh, of course, it was the different people that would come there. She had these, um—what do they call them? Dress models? Schneider Uh… Aulin Uh, and she had one that was—one lady that was sort of heavy, and that’s what she called it—by this lady’s name, and, um, I’m not saying their names, ‘cause their families all—still are here. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And then there’s another one that the lady was quite tall, and she called it that, and then finally she got this little short, fat, one and she called it Nadine [laughs]. Schneider [laughs]. Aulin And she used to make me my clothes, even when we were stationed in Germany or wherever. She’d send me, uh, my clothes, and they would be perfect every time. So, um, she was very, very talented at that, and I, uh, think that, uh—like I said, I think that it was her art, and she enjoyed doing it, and I think a lot of people, uh, of that era enjoyed working. I don’t think you see that so much anymore. Schneider Yeah. Aulin And I think people, uh, of my father’s age and, uh, Andy’s parents, they just sorta took their job very, very seriously, and it was their thing. It was, you know—they had pride in what they were doing. It wasn’t just—and of course, they had to earn money, and they didn’t earn that much for whatever they were doing, but still it was their—their art. It was their art. Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin So there’s, um—some of the funny stories would be, uh, Andy’s uncle, eh, Theodore, who they all called Fifi, um, he didn’t [laughs] believe in change. So like, if they put in a traffic light or a stop sign where they never had had one before, he never paid—after he got old, he never paid any attention for—to it. Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin And, uh, he was just—and George, the policeman, would just say, “Well, that’s Uncle Fifi. We just have to watch out for him.” [laughs]. Schneider [laughs]. Aulin And there was other people like that. there were what you call “characters” around the town, and—and that’s what people did—is they just sorta said, uh, “Well, that’s who they are,” and, you know, you just have to watch out for them, and I think that’s where the lovely—lovely thing about Oviedo and small towns everywhere, I’m sure. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And so, uh, don’t know what else… Schneider Yeah, that’s great, um, and you mentioned the—being a telephone or switchboard operator. Um, so what were the name—what was her name? [inaudible]… Aulin Her name was Alice. Schneider Alice? Aulin Mary Alice Aulin. Schneider Okay. Aulin Um, yeah. Uh, she did that, and, uh, as a matter of fact, when they did the centennial here, I, uh—they recognized her for that, and, um, it was very nice, um, and that was a nice thing too. I don’t know if you, uh—I’m sure you got information about that, but that centennial thing was really a nice thing that Oviedo did. Uh, brought everybody together, and then people that were new got to know more about what was going on. uh… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin There was, like, memorial celery vase. Schneider Oh. Aulin Have you heard that or seen that? Uh… Schneider I haven’t seen it. no. Aulin Well, uh, most of us have one that were around at that time, uh… Schneider Huh. Aulin And that’s when, um, Mr. Neely’s book<a title="">[7]</a> came out. Schneider Oh, okay. Aulin Uh, or Miss [Donna] Neely’s. I guess it was Ms. Neely’s. Uh, Dr., uh—what was his name?<a title="">[8]</a> Doesn’t matter. Schneider [laughs]. Aulin That’s okay. Uh, [inaudible] another one of those things that will come to you, but, um, that all sorta gelled at the same time for the centennial, and It was a big celebration, and, um, it was very, very, very nice. Schneider Mmhmm, nice. Yeah, um, and have you heard any family stories about Andrew Aulin? Aulin Oh, yes, he… Schneider That you’d like to share. Aulin Was, uh—now, the first Andrew Aulin? You know, there’s… Schneider Yeah. Aulin The first Andrew Aulin, and then there was my husband’s father, Andrew Aulin, and my husband, Andrew Aulin, and none of them have middle names, and, uh, [laughs]… Schneider [laughs]. Aulin So it’s just… Schneider Confusing. Aulin Uh, but anyway, the first one, uh—it’s was my understanding that he traveled a lot before he settled down and came to Florida, but, um, one of the places that he traveled to or was in was, um, Oviedo, Spain. There was a big University [of Oviedo] there, and evidently, he was a scholar, and he had gone to, uh, [Uppsala] University in Uppsala, Sweden. he was Swedish, and, um—so when he came to Oviedo and they decided they were gonna make a town, and as a postmaster, they had him choose the name, he chose Oviedo, because this area reminded him of that town—city—I guess it was—and, uh—so therefore, he named it Oviedo, because—and—and also it had the Spanish name and Florida has a Spanish name—is a Spanish name. So he all thought it all sorta fit. Schneider Oh. Aulin And, um, it’s also my understanding—and this is sorta—I’ve heard people sorta joke about it—that he really cared more about reading and his books and doing scholarly things that, uh, he didn’t really care much about his business. He—he had a business, and I heard someone say—I think it was Mr. W. A. Ward’s father, uh, Bill Ward—said, um, that he would like—and maybe it wasn’t Mr. Ward—but anyway it doesn’t matter—it was somebody from that era—said that, uh, you would go into the mercantile store and say, you know, you wanted—I don’t know, um—seven yards of material or whatever, and he’d say, “Well, it’s back over that way,” and he’d go right back to his book [laughs]. Schneider [laughs]. Aulin And, uh—so whether people paid him or not he wasn’t real [laughs]… Schneider [laughs]. Aulin But I’m sure they all did pay, because it was a different era, again, at that time, but, uh, they said that they[?]—they would often see him sittin’ outside his—his store—just sittin’ there reading a book… Schneider Huh. Aulin And, uh, he—it’s also my understanding that he, uh, taught, was one of the first like little school situations here. Not that it was really a school. I don’t know about that. I just know that he taught people whatever he taught them, I don’t know if it was Greek or, uh, some, uh—something more than just grade school kind of things. I’m not sure about that. I just know that, uh—that was, uh,—has been told to me several times—was that he, um—and it may be even—there’s a letter written by, uh, Steen Nelson, uh, who… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin Nelson and Company. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And, uh, in that letter, there’s a descript—description of, uh, Andrew Aulin, and, uh, I think in there, he mentions him being a scholar, and, um, his store, and naming the town, and—and those kind of things, and I have—I just thought of it. I think I have a copy of that letter that I’ll try to provide for you, if I can find it. Uh… Schneider Yeah, that’d be great. Aulin Uh, then there’s[sic] other people in town that have a copy of it too, so I’m sure that we can locate it, and that’s sorta interesting too. I don’t know much about Steen Nelson, other than Nelson and Company was originally his business. Schneider Okay. Aulin And, uh, I don’t know if he became a partner with Mr. [Benjamin Franklin] Wheeler[, Sr.], or if the Wheelers just bought it out, or what. Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin I don’t know that, but, uh, yeah. that’s, uh, how it all started with him. Schneider Uh huh, and do, you know, anything about, um, Andrew Aulin’s role as sort of an entrepreneur or stockholder—I think was the word. That I think he was involved in some entrepreneurial ventures with those people. I don’t know if you’ve heard anything about that. Aulin Uh, he probably was… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin I mean, because he was very much involved in the very beginning of Oviedo, and if you look at the land, uh, plats from that time, his name’s everywhere. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin So I, um—that part though I don’t really know, but I… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin Do know that once upon a time, he owned a lot of land in Oviedo, and then I think, by the time he passed, there—he had sold it or, uh—I know that my mother-in-law used to talk about, uh, there were boom times and not-boom times, and, uh, in the boom times, everybody had money and had high hopes, and then it would all crash, and—but that’s all throughout history. You know, they… Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin That—early 1900s, and on, and in 1929, and then on and on, and so… Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin People would have stuff and then they’d have nothing. Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin And—but, fortunately, back in those times, if you were a farmer, you could always grow your crop, but—as long as you didn’t have a dust bowl, like they did out West, and that kind of thing, but—yeah. Schneider Okay, um, and have you heard about anything in terms of Andrew Aulin, uh, growing citrus? Have you heard any… Aulin Yes. Schneider Stuff about that? Uh huh. Aulin He did. He grew, um,—he had orange groves, um, and I—he had, uh, different properties around. I know that on the, uh, south side of town, uh, he had properties, and then down—what we now call Downtown Oviedo, uh—I think he had properties down there that he grew not oranges on. I think it was, um, other kinds of crops. Uh, I’m thinking strawberries and celery. I don’t think celery was the big thing particularly, at that time. I think celery came along a little later, but, uh, yeah, uh, he did, and I—I that part—I’m sorry to tell ya—I haven’t ever delved into it, but I have always liked to hear the character stories, ya know? Schneider Uh huh [laughs]. Aulin [laughs]. Schneider Yeah, um, and have you heard anything about him as a postmaster, beyond what you were saying? Have you heard any stories about that, or… Aulin Nothing other than him naming the town. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And, uh, I don’t know how it came about that he was the first postmaster. Uh, I do know that, uh, prior to that, everybody got their mail from, um, White’s Wharf, but, uh, then I guess they decided they needed a post office in Oviedo. Schneider Uh huh, great, and, uh, you mentioned earlier, uh, the Swedish background of the family. Um, do you know anything more about that? Aulin Uh, no, other than they’re from a place, um—it’s a big— it’s a big town in, uh, Ov—I mean Spain, uh—Sweden. Um, it’s right on the—the ocean. I, uh, don’t[?]—I have all this stuff at my house, because, um, I have sort of like a history, but I can’t think of it now. Uh, it’s called “getting old.” Schneider Did you say before Uppsala? [inaudible]… Aulin Well, Uppsala was where he went to university. Schneider Oh, okay. That was the university. [inaudible]… Aulin Yes, he went to school there, and, um, I can’t think of the name of the town where he was born, but that’s as far back as, uh, we’ve been able to go in his genealogy is to that town. Um, it starts with an M. I can’t think of it, but anyway, uh, he—I think it was a relatively young age when he left Sweden. I mean, um, not as a child, but [inaudible] probably in his early, early 20s, and then he traveled, and I think he even lived for a time in, uh, Ohio, and then, um—but it wasn’t until he came to Oviedo that he met his wife,<a title="">[9]</a> who was a Lawton, and, uh, her, uh, family was one of the main fam—founding families of, uh, Oviedo. Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin Uh, the Lawtons, uh, and Wheelers, and, uh, Aulins—they were sorta—and they sorta—and the Lees—the Lees also is another… Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin Name. Speaking of Lee, my mother-in-law, when she was a child, went with, uh, her uncle and her father on a, uh, river trip to Rockledge to get some—her uncle was the grocer. So they went on a skiff. She’s always called it that. I don’t know a skiff—from Lake Monroe to, uh, Rockledge, er, you know, by the coast, and, uh, I didn’t even know that the waterway would—would go that far, uh, on the St. Johns [River], but, um, back then, it did for sure, and she talked about how they camped on the way, and—but another person in their party was a gentleman named Thee Lee. I’m thinking his name was Theodore Lee. Uh, uh, I don’t know, but anyway, uh, we called him Thee Lee, and, um, he was a young man and he was—I guess knew her father or the uncle or somethin’. Anyway, he went on this trip with them and he would kill duck or whatever for their supper, and then she would always laugh and she says, “And then, 10 years or so later, I met him, because I was gonna marry his cousin.” So he was… Schneider Oh. Aulin Andrew’s cousin. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And, um—so I—I just thought that was so neat. She was just she had to be under 11 years old, because her father, uh, got killed on the railroad when she was, uh, 11. So she had to be pretty little kid when she went on that trip, but she remembered so much about them killing the geese and roasting them on the fire at night. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And isn’t that an adventure for an 11-year-old? I mean golly. Schneider Yeah, wow. Aulin Uh, sounds so cool [laughs]. Schneider Uh huh, awesome. Yeah, and what else have you heard about the Lawtons, and, uh, Lona Lawton, and everybody? Aulin Well, um, I just know that, uh, there was a Mr. Lawton, uh, here in Oviedo that, uh, when he—he found out that I was married to—and I worked in a bank—when he found out that I, uh, was married to an Aulin, uh, his wife would send me cookies every once in a while. Schneider Aw. Aulin And also Andy’s cousin’s wife lived there, uh—worked there, and so they were all—they were very kind to us, uh, just because of the relationship, I guess, and, um, I just thought that that was so cool that he would, uh—that she would do that, and now, I can’t remember which Lawton they were, because, uh, at that time, there was[sic] several older Lawtons living in Oviedo. Schneider Hm. Aulin And, uh—but that was so cool that he—that she would send us those cookies just because we were [laughs]… Schneider [laughs]. Aulin Aulins. It was just this family ties, I guess, but, um, the—I’m trying to think of some of the—there was, um, a lot of Lawtons. Uh, I think there was like—it was of two different mothers, but there was like a bunch of ‘em. I—I’m wantin’ to say eight, or maybe even more than eight… Schneider Hm. Aulin Children, and, um, so they, um, settled here in Oviedo, and then, uh, I’ve since learned that there’s some Lawtons of that same group that live up in, uh, Northwest Florida. Schneider Oh. Aulin And, uh, I’ve been in contact with their, um, great-grandchildren, um, but, uh, they—they were big farmers, and, um—then also, I think they, uh, were teachers, and, uh, I know that, um, another one of my husband’s aunts was a teacher, and she, uh, married a gentleman and they lived out—and went out to live out in Texas, and that’s where the original Andrew Aulin died. He was in Texas. that’s where he’s buried—is in Texas, because he was living out there with his daughter, and, um—but yeah, they—I think they sort of have a—a legacy of teaching and farming. Schneider Mmhmm, yeah. Um, have you heard anything about, uh, Lona Lawton as—and her role as a switchboard operator after the [World] War [I]? Aulin Lona Lawton? Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin Or Alice Aulin? Schneider Um, I believe it was Lona Lawton that they mentioned in the book. Aulin Nah, I… Schneider Maybe. Aulin What war? Schneider Um, I said after World War—World War I? Aulin Uh, that would have had to have been Andy’s mother, Schneider Oh, okay. Aulin Alice. Schneider Okay. Aulin Mary Alice Aulin. Schneider [inaudible]. Aulin Because Lona Lawton… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin Was, um, Andrew’s mother. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And she died before, um, Andy’s mother met him. Schneider Oh. Aulin So I—she met him, um, around 1920. Schneider Hm. Aulin Something like that. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin Um, maybe twe—even ’22—something like that, ‘cause she was, uh—well, she was born in 1904, and, um, so she was only like 18 in ’22, so yeah. Schneider Hm. Aulin So Lona had—had died… Schneider Ah. Aulin Before then. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin Uh, and she, uh—I think way before then. I think in the early 1900s.<a title="">[10]</a> Uh, Andy’s father was the youngest child, and he was born in like 18-something. Schneider Oh, okay. Aulin Like, uh, 1893, I’m thinking—somewhere in that area. Schneider Hm. Aulin So, yeah, she had been dead a long time. Schneider Hm, mmhmm. Aulin Um, so it wasn’t her. It was Andy’s mother, and I don’t remember, um, I mean it was after World War I that she, uh, did that because, uh, she was like 18 when she started. Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin And then, at one point, uh, she got married and—but then, at a later time, they came and put the switchboard in her house. Schneider Ah. Aulin They lived on Graham [Avenue]. Schneider Oh. Aulin And then she ran it from there, and then, um, another time, when she lived on Myrtle Street, they’ve[sic] moved it there, and she—but she had the—it, like, blew up in her ear, or… Schneider Uh huh [laughs]. Aulin I don’t know what you’d call it. Uh, it had a short somehow and it made her, uh, almost deaf in one ear from doing that, and that was—I think that was like in the ‘30s… Schneider Hm. Aulin When that happened. Schneider And have you heard anything about Andrew Aulin’s experience in World War I, uh, so [inaudible]. Aulin Yes, I know that he was, um, uh—now, this is Andrew Aulin, Jr. Schneider Oh, okay, sorry. Aulin Uh, Andy’s father—my husband’s father. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin He was, uh, in, um, France during World War I, and he was, um, gassed. He got injured, uh, or, you know, not wounded, but, uh, harmed or disabled, uh, somewhat, by having, uh, gas, because, you know, that was the war when they did the—did that. he was in the trenches, and one of the funny or odd things, I think, is, um, they don’t eat—eat potatoes very much in the Aulin family, uh, or that part of the Aulin family, because all he got to eat when he was, uh, overseas was potatoes, and he said he hoped he never saw another potato, so… Schneider [laughs]. Aulin [laughs] Andy’s mother cooked rice every day, and, uh, when I got married, I cooked rice every day for many, many years, and then I finally taught my husband that, you know, life will go on without rice, so [laughs] Schneider [laughs] [inaudible]. Aulin But, uh, rice was the big thing. They ate rice instead of potatoes, and another thing, because of his, uh, eating habits, or lack of, when he was over there, uh, he wouldn’t eat gravy that was white—you know, made with milk. Schneider Oh. Aulin Because that was just—that’s all they got over there—was white gravy. Er, he thought it had no taste. So Mrs. Aulin—even if the gravy didn’t come out dark enough, she would put like instant coffee in it or somethin’ to make it dark. Schneider [laughs]. Aulin [laughs] And that’s a good trick. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin It makes it taste better, if you just put a li’l coffee in it. Schneider Huh [laughs]. Aulin That’s one of the tricks I’ve learned from her, uh, but yeah. I don’t know of any, uh—I just know that he went over there, uh, and got more or less wounded, and, uh, that whole family, I think, is, uh, been in World War—his—my husband’s oldest—older brother<a title="">[11]</a> was in World War II and in the Korean War. My husband was in, uh, [the] Vietnam [War], and, um, so they’ve all, you know, served their country. Schneider [inaudible]. Aulin And I, uh, think that’s sorta something that most of the people in Oviedo did. I mean, there was a lot of people in Oviedo that, uh, served in World War II, and, uh, even some of the people that weren’t in the military, they served by, uh, manning the—they had a tower that they watched for… Schneider Oh. Aulin Airplanes and what have you, like a civil defense kind of thing… Schneider Okay. Aulin And, uh, I know that Andy’s sisters did some of that and the, uh, other girls in town, uh, volunteered to do that, and there was—the tower was downtown, uh, by the red light too… Schneider h huh. Aulin From what I understand. I think that’s where it was. Have to ask somebody who was here then, but I think that’s where it was from the stories... Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin They tell. Schneider Mmhmm, um, and you mentioned some of the founding families of Oviedo. What—is there anything else—any other stories you know about them, or, um—besides [inaudible]… Aulin Well, I do know that, uh, it—I think this is sort of funny. Uh, When I came and I was living with Andy’s aunt and she would mention someone or I would mention someone, and she would say something like, “Oh, they’re one of the new people.” Schneider Oh [laughs]. Aulin [laughs] And I would say, “Oh, when did—when did they come to Oviedo?” And she says, “Oh, I think they came in like the 20s.” Schneider [laughs]. Aulin [laughs] And—she—her family was the Jacobs, and they—her father settled on—at—at Lake Pickett… Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin Way back in the 1800s. Uh, his brother settled on Lake Mills. Schneider Yeah. Aulin And then his sister was married to, uh, a Kilby, I think, and they settled in, um, Geneva on Lake Harney. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin So it—out of the same family, they all settled on lakes, and then Aunt Nettie married, uh, an Aulin, and so she was like from first—a first family of two different places, and, uh, she used to say—and not only she—when I would first come to Oviedo and I’d be like at my grandmother’s, somebody would say, uh, “Oh, we’d better get back to Oviedo before the creek rises,” or if you were in Oviedo, uh, they would say, “Well, we’d better get back to Chuluota before the creek rises,” and Aunt Nettie explained to me what that was—is that once upon a time there was a—a low bridge, where the regular bridge is going from Oviedo to Chuluota, but it was a low bridge, and if the water got high, you couldn’t go across it, because you couldn’t see the bridge, and, uh, so it was true that if it was raining or something like that and the bridge got overflowed, then you were stuck. You had to… Schneider [laughs]. Aulin [laughs] stay there. So that’s why they said that. They—and they still say it as far as I know, to this day, “If, you know—if the creek rises, we’d better,” just as a sort of joke or whatever, and, um, I [laughs] always thought that—well, I liked it when I found out what it—what it meant, and there was something else I was gonna tell you around those lines, but, um, every little town has its—its little sayings, and funny things, and, um—but I can’t think of what else I was gonna tell you. Anyway… Schneider Uh huh [laughs]. So tell me about, um, you mentioned some of the artifacts that you had, um, so tell me a little bit about what those were or if you have any stories about them. Aulin Well, I don’t really have any artifacts. I have some copies of things that… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin Uh, have been handed to me, because of my interest in genealogy. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin Uh, I have, uh, copies of some pages out of a Lawton, uh, Bible that, uh—these people I’ve met in Northwest Florida—and it has, of course, the names of people that were here, you know, like, uh, Lona, and Narcissa [Melissa Lawton], and those, um, Lawtons, and, um, then I have, uh, different, you know, writings, and newspaper clippings, and, um, things like that. I had some, um, things that belonged to my husband’s, um, father, but I sent them to, uh—or had his grandmother send them—send them to her son—her grandson in Tennessee, because he was interested in that stuff… Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin And not many people, you know, really are, and so… Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin I thought that would be a good thing for him to have, but as far as, uh, actual hold-it-in-your-hand kind of thing, other than copies and—and writings, I don’t— I don’t really have anything. Schneider Uh huh, and what were some of the things that were sent? what were some of the, um… Aulin Uh, well, I’ve got, uh—we have a copy of, uh, Nar—Narcissa’s diary. Schneider Oh. Aulin A portion of it that she did Schneider Oh. Aulin In World War… [child cries] Aulin I mean in the Civil War. Schneider Oh. Aulin Uh, and that’s very interesting. Schneider Wow. Aulin And I mean it really takes you back in—in time. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And there—one of the things she writes about is, uh, having to make, uh, shoes for, uh, some of the people that worked there, and she didn’t—obviously, they were slaves, but she didn’t call them that. Schneider Hm. Aulin It was “our people,” you know? Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin And she had to make them some shoes, and, uh, she talked about the war, and, she, you know—she heard bad news that would come down from Virginia, and she was in, uh—right outside Thomasville, Georgia, is where they lived at that time. Schneider Huh. Aulin And, uh, it’s really, really a treasure having—having that, uh, but it’s, uh, a copy of it, and it’s, uh—I don’t even know who’s got the original. Oh, I do. I[?] happen to be—the original, uh, got washed away in a flood they had out in Texas, where… Schneider Oh. Aulin Where it was—where it was kept, uh, which is regrettable, ‘cause, I mean, now it’s gone, but fortunately, we all have—or not all of us—but a lot of us have copies of it. Schneider Wow[?]. Aulin So that’s really, really another treasure. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And, uh, then I have these like—I think I had already told you—these copies of that—pages out of that Bible, where they note the family happenings—you know, deaths, births—that kind of thing—weddings, Um, and like—like I said, the Steen, uh, Nelson letter. I’ve got, I think, probably, uh, all the books and things that were written, and—and I have treasures from the, um, centennial, and newspaper clippings, and things like that. Schneider Awesome, very cool. Um, so are there any other stories that you want to share about—in general, that you’ve been thinking about? Um… Aulin Well, I, you know—I can sit here and tell you stories, uh, about, uh, my mother-in-law [inaudible], but I don’t know if they would have any interest to, um—I mean, it’s just—you would just be interested if you were her granddaughter or something like that, you know? It’s just sorta family things. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin But, um, Aunt Nettie, uh, as I said, you know—she—her husband was the one they called “The Judge.” he was the Justice of the Peace, and, um, she, um, also had, uh—it wasn’t a boarding house, but she had extra rooms in her house, and there was a time when the railroad people were working here or whatever, uh, and, you know, Oviedo used to be really busy with all of the fruit, vegetables being shipped in and outta here—or being shipped out of here. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And, um, so she would, um, let out a room to these people that work for the railroad, and, uh, she used to tell me little saying—like one of ‘em would, uh, put cheese in his coffee, and [laughs]… Schneider [laughs]. Aulin I’ve never heard of that before, and then she would always say, uh—she was a swe—sweet, old lady. She was so precious, and she would say, uh, “Nadine, you want some cheese in your coffee?” I said, “No, Aunt Nettie. I don’t want any cheese in my coffee.” Schneider [laughs]. Aulin That’s what the man would say. He would say… Schneider Oh. Aulin “I want some cheese for her coffee.” [laughs] Schneider [laughs]. Aulin Just little stories like that… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin You know, that doesn’t mean anything to anybody, but… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin Just, uh, you had to know the people. You had to be there, you know, sort of thing. So… Schneider Uh huh, great, and, um, so do you have any last words about maybe what impact that your relatives and—have had in the town in the early history or just any other thoughts about Oviedo’s history in general? Aulin Well, I [inaudible]—I think that Oviedo has a, uh—a good history, you know? You don’t really think of too many bad things happening in Oviedo. I don’t know—don’t know that I recall anything bad. I did[?]—I know that there’s been some, uh—there used to be a prison camp out on the way to Winter Park, on that road. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And, uh, I think there was an escape, uh—escape there, and I think, uh, that’s when Mr. John Courier[sp] got hurt. Now, this you’re gonna have to talk to other people about, because I don’t really know, but I do know that there’s been things like that that have happened… Schneider Uh huh. Aulin That are tragic. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin But, um, I—I don’t know any firsthand information about that, and—but as far as Oviedo is concerned, I think that, uh, like I said in the beginning, the—the churches is[sic] what it was all based on, and I think pretty much, it still has that, uh, heritage, that rock, that—that keeps it sorta held together, and I think all that’s important. Uh, we have a lot more churches now than just the Methodist and the Baptist. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And, uh, the, uh, church that’s, uh, mainly black people on the, uh, way out of town… Schneider Mmhmm. Aulin Uh, I think that’s been there for years and years and years and years, and, uh, I noticed the other day, it’s growing like gangbusters, just like the other churches. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin And that’s really great, and that’s really a good foundation, and I think that they’ve—we’ve maintained that foundation. Schneider Uh huh. Aulin So that’s a good thing. Schneider Great, alright. Well, thank you so much for talking with us. this was really helpful. Aulin Oh, well, thank you. I hope that it was. I, uh, enjoyed it. Sorta nice bringing those memories back. Sorry I couldn’t remember some things. Schneider No, no.

Title Marie Jones Francis Collection Alternative Title Francis Collection Subject Midwives, African American Midwives--Florida Midwifery--United States Georgetown (Sanford, Fla.) Sanford (Fla.) African Americans--Florida--Sanford Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the life and work of Marie Jones Francis. Francis, the "midwife of Sanford," lived at 621 East Sixth Street in Sanford, Florida. Francis, the "midwife of Sanford," left behind a successful hotel and restaurant she owned in Sarasota in 1942 to return to Sanford and become a midwife. World War II caused a shortage in doctors and nurses, so Florida's Children's Bureau sent Francis to Florida A & M to acquire her practical nursing license in 1945. She specialized in premature babies and returned to Sanford to aid her mother, Carrie Jones, at Fernald-Laughton Memorial Hospital before they opened the ward in their home. "When her health starting failing," she recollects in a newspaper article, "I took over." Francis converted her house at 621 East Sixth Street to also serve as a maternity ward, where she delivered over 40,000 babies over her 32 year career. She became a midwife in the same vein as her mother, Carrie Jones, and together they ran the Jones-Francis Maternity Hall in Georgetown. Francis served her community in several ways. She delivered babies for both white and black families from Seminole County, primarily patrons who either preferred natural births or could not afford deliveries at a hospital. In the 1950s, it cost $70 to stay nine days where soon-to-be mothers were taken care of. Francis was assisted by her sister, Annie Walker, who did the cooking. The house and ward also served as a school, where Marie Francis taught nurses the art of midwifery. Nurses would come from across the state to learn how to delivery infants naturally. A heavy burden on a single working mother, Marie Francis had three daughters, Cassandra Clayton, Daphne Humphrey, and Barbara Torre. Clayton and Humphrey became school teachers and Torre became a purchaser at Seminole Memorial Hospital. Contributor Firpo, Julio R.

Title Midwives Supply Needed Service Community Alternative Title Midwives Supply Needed Service Community Subject African Americans--Florida--Sanford Sanford (Fla.) Georgetown (Sanford, Fla.) Midwives--United States Description A newspaper article about African-American midwives in Seminole County, Florida, in the 1960s. The article states that of the 760 babies born at the Seminole Memorial Hospital in 1963, nearly 400 were delivered by African-America midwives. The article explains that the demand for midwifery was due to rising costs in hospital delivery and prenatal care. The article also discusses the licensing for midwives, the delivery process, and then highlights two midwives in Seminole: Mary Moye and Marie Jones Francis. Moye, who lived at 1515 West Sixteenth Street, had been practicing midwifery for 40 years and had been licensed and registered for 20 years at the time that the article was published. According to the article, her services typically cost between $65 and $90. The article also highlights Marie Francis, the "midwife of Sanford." Francis left behind a successful hotel and restaurant she owned in Sarasota in 1942 to return to Sanford and become a midwife. World War II caused a shortage in doctors and nurses, so Florida's Children's Bureau sent Francis to Florida A & M to acquire her practical nursing license in 1945. She specialized in premature babies and returned to Sanford to aid her mother, Carrie Jones, at Fernald-Laughton Memorial Hospital before they opened the ward in their home.

Title The Watermark, Vol. 12, No. 11, June 2-15, 2005 Alternative Title Watermark, Vol. 12, No. 11 Subject Gay culture--United States Description The eleventh issue of the twelfth volume of The Watermark was published on June 2, 2005 and covered a wide range of topics and stories of interest to the LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer/Questioning, and others) community. The headline story surrounded the ongoing investigtion of the deaths of two Tampa men, Jason Galehouse (1977-2003) and Michael Wachholtz (1977-2003). Steve Lorenzo and Scott Schweickert, who were arrested in 2005 for the murders, would not be convicted until over a decade later. Also included in this issue was the proposal of a new federal bill that included transgendered people as a protected class, the postponement of WorldPride, and the closing of a local Tampa business. In the Water Colors section, former Christian singers Jason and DeMarco gave an interview. This issue of The Watermark featured spotlights of many famous women who would be entertaining the masses at Gay Days Weekend 2005, the largest annual gathering of LGBTQ+ people in Orlando, as well as a schedule of events. Overall, this issue provided readers with answers, information, and entertainment. Since 1994, The Watermark has been the cornerstone source of LGBTQ+ centered news for the Central Florida region. Founded by Tom Dyer in Orlando, the publication began generating bi-weekly issues beginning August 31, 1994. Since then, The Watermark has consistently published newspaper-style issues every other Thursday. Gaining traction, the publication expanded in 1995 to include Tampa and, in 1997, The Watermark became a permanent piece of LGBTQ+ culture when the publication initiated the first large-scale Gay Days Weekend event, the Beach Ball at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon. Before 1999, the publication printed 20,000 copies every week, distributing them to over 500 locations between its two major cities. Following 1999, the publication launched watermarkonline.com shifting to an online publication style. In 2016, Rick Claggett purchased The Watermark.

Bagley Alternative Title Old Mill by Ralph Bagley Subject Artists--Florida Art--Southern States Painters--Southern States Painting--Florida Description Old Mill, a painting by Ralph L. Bagley (ca. 1914-2008). Old Mill features a mill in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Bagley was an artist and instructor who taught in Central Florida from the 1950s until his death in 2008, when he was 94 years old. He was born in Bertrand, Missouri, and attended the Flint Institute of Art in Flint, Michigan, continuing his studies in New York and Washington, D.C. Bagley and his wife, Marianne Bagley, moved to Orlando, Florida in 1950, where Bagley founded the Orlando Institute of Art, the city’s first fine-arts school. Bagley depicted landscapes, still lifes, and portraits in a variety of media, including oil, watercolor, and charcoal. Bagley also taught at Orlando Junior College, becoming head of the school’s art department in 1965. After the college closed in 1971, he taught at Lake-Sumter Community College in Leesburg, the Maitland Art Center in Maitland, and the Loch Haven Art Center (now the Orlando Museum of Art). He toured the nation with at least 30 one-man art shows featuring his paintings. Among many positions he held in art organizations, Bagley was president of the Orlando Art Association and a founding member and president of the Artists’ League of Orange County. The works of his many students sustain his legacy. Type Still Image Source Original painting: Bagley, Ralph L.

Title Orlando Collection Description The Orlando area was originally occupied by the Creek and Seminole tribes. In 1838, Fort Gatlin was erected on the shores of Lake Gatlin, just a few miles south of present-day Downtown Orlando. Centered around Church Street, Orlando became a city in 1884. Originally a cattle town, Orlando grew into a major citrus growing center by the 1920s. The city continued to grow during the Great Depression with aid from the Work Progress Administration (WPA). During World War II, Orlando became a major military center as well, with the development of the McCoy Air Force Base and Pinecastle Air Force Base, and with the addition of the Naval Training Center (NTC) Orlando in 1968. Downtown Orlando declined in the 1960s and 1970s. Redevelopment began in the 1970s and continued into the 1980s, with projects such as the Church Street Station entertainment complex. In 1998, a building boom began and continued through the 2000s. Contributor Cook, Thomas Cepero, Nancy Lynn Cepero, Laura Lynn Alternative Title Orlando Collection Subject Orlando (Fla.)

Hotels--Florida Tourism--Florida Homosexuality--Florida Gay culture--United States Lesbian culture AIDS (Disease)--Florida HIV infections--United States Description 40 Years of the Parliament House is a documentary film about the history of the Parliament House, a gay resort located at 410 North Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando, Florida. The Parliament House Motor Inn chain was founded in Kansas City, Missouri, by Ned Eddy, Sr. and his two sons, Ned Eddy, Jr. and James "Jimmy" Eddy. The Orlando Parliament House was a 120-room hotel and the first motor inn established by the chain. The inn was designed by Alan Berman and was built on Orlando’s Rock Lake by Hodes and Cumming Construction. Parliament House officially opened on February 11, 1962. Ned Eddy, Jr. served as the inn manager and his brother, Jimmy Eddy, was the manager of the cocktail lounge. With the opening of the Walt Disney World Resort in 1971, came the construction of hotels and motels on International Drive, leaving the Parliament House Motor Inn outside the tourist district. The motor inn soon became a hotspot for prostitution as the OBT area declined. By 1975, the Parliament House was near bankruptcy. On March 27, 1975, William G. Miller (d. 1987) and Michael Hodge (d. 1992) purchased the motor inn and converted it into a gay resort. A couple of years after the deaths of Bill Miller and Mike Hodge, the Parliament House was sold to Susan Unger and Don Granatstein in August of 1999. Unger and Granatstein began renovating the resort, which had been in decline since Hodge's death in 1992. Renovations were completed in 2000. The Parliament House again faced foreclosure in 2010 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 25, 2014. Stakeholders approved a $14-million debt relief plan in February of 2015.

Schools High schools--Florida Education--Florida Description The first page of a student work packet completed by Sanford High School fifth graders in 1906. The assignment was due January 26th, 1906, and consists of work from approximately 24 students. The assignment consists of four different assessments: spelling, writing, grammar, and penmanship. The grades that the students received ranged from 60% to 98%, with a class average of 84%. Sanford High School was originally established at 301 West Seventh Street in Sanford, Florida, in 1902. The building was designed by W. G. Talley in the Romanesque revival style. Due to an increasing student population, a new school building was constructed on Sanford Avenue in 1911. The original building on Seventh Street served as Westside Grammar Elementary School, which was later renamed Sanford Grammar School. In 1984, the building was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places and converted into the Student Museum. The building reopened as the University of Central Florida's Public History Center in 2012. In 1927, a high school campus was designed by Elton J. Moughton in the Mediterranean revival style and constructed at 1700 French Avenue. The school reopened on January 10 and was renamed Seminole High School. In 1960, the high school moved to a new campus at 2701 Ridgewood Avenue and the former building on French Avenue was converted to Sanford Junior High School, which was later renamed Sanford Middle School. The old building was demolished in the summer of 1991 and replaced by a $5.77 million school complex. As of 2013, Seminole High School offers various Advanced Placement courses, the Academy for Health Careers, and the International Baccalaureate Programme for students.

Title Westinghouse Electric Collection Alternative Title Westinghouse Collection Subject Westinghouse Electric Corporation Description Originally called the Westinghouse Electric Company, George Westinghouse (1846-1914) founded his manufacturing company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886. In 1889, he renamed his business the The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. Westinghouse's primary products include turbines, generators, motors and switchgear related to the generation, transmission, and use of electricity. The company changed its name to Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1945. In 1981, the company began to relocate its divison headquarters for the Steam-Turbine Generator Divisions from Pennsylvania (turbines from Lester and generators from Pittsburgh) to Orlando, Florida. The Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail. Originally, Westinghouse had purchased a large plot of land for future development that extended westward from Alafaya Trail to Rouse Road. The original headquarters was located on several acres of that land parcel close to Alafaya Trail. In 1994, after a major corporate management shuffling, and a top-level decision to change from an industrial manufacturing company to primarily a broadcasting/communications company, Westinghouse bought the CBS Network and changed its name to the CBS Corporation. As the PGBU grew in size, other buildings in the area were leased and then, after PGBU was sold to Siemens Corporation of Germany in 1998, additional buildings (Quad II and Quad III) were added to the original complex at the Quadrangle. From 1998 to 2003 the Orlando operation was known as Siemens-Westinghouse, after which the name of Westinghouse was dropped. The operation has been known as Siemens from that time forward.

Title Electric Utility Supplies On-Site Power Alternative Title Electric Utility Supplies On-Site Power Subject Westinghouse Electric Corporation Southern California Edison Company Printing--United States Description A reprint of an article by George E. Baker published POWER magazine in December of 1969. In 1967, the Southern California Edison Company (SCE) partnered with the Garden State Paper Company (GSP) to install and operate an on-site gas-turbine generator and heat recovery system to supply all the energy needs of a patented de-inking process to produce clean newsprint from used newspapers. This unique co-generation system provided the operating flexibility, operating economics, site compatibility, and reliability to make it the ideal solution for both partners. SCE supplied both electricity and heat energy while GSP enjoyed the advantage of low cost, reliable energy right at the process plant. Westinghouse Electric supplied the W-191 pre-packaged gas turbine that was electrically tied to the SCE grid. Voigt supplied the fired heat recovery boiler with a standby forced draft fan for backup duty. The plant went commercial in January of 1967.

Sanford, Henry Shelton, 1823-1891 Banks and banking--Florida Description Collection of documents related to the financial accounts of Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891), an American diplomat, lawyer, and businessman. Born in Derby, Connecticut, Sanford eventually joined the United States Diplomatic Corps in 1849. During his initial tenure in the Diplomatic Corps, Sanford served as Secretary of the American Legation at Paris. In 1853, he was promoted to the position of Chargé D'Affaires in France. In 1861, President Lincoln named Sanford as the U.S. Minister to Belgium. During the Civil War, Sanford served as a fiscal agent for the U.S. Government and supervised the U.S. Secret Service in Europe. After his tenure as Minister to Belgium, Sanford played a role in the establishment of the Congo Free State, a vast colony in Equatorial Africa under the direct control of the Belgian King Leopold II. In particular, it was Sanford who lobbied U.S. President Chester A. Arthur to recognize King Leopold's colony, a move that sparked broader international recognition of the Congo Free State. He also served as a delegate for the American Geographical Society at the International African Association Congress established by Leopold II and held in Brussels in 1887. Sanford organized the "Sanford Exploring Expedition," an expedition that served to answer scientific and commercial inquiries in the Congo. Aside from his diplomatic career, Sanford was also a businessman and investor. He made several real estate investments in Florida in the late 1860s and early 1870s, the most notable being the purchase of the "Sanford Grant" in May 1870. The grant encompassed over 20 square miles and provided the basis for the town that eventually bore Sanford's name. Sanford was convinced that Florida would prove a profitable place to invest. Anticipating significant traffic and commerce by waterway, Sanford bought a land grant positioned on Lake Monroe along the St. Johns River. The city of Sanford thus became deemed the "Gate City of South Florida" - the southernmost stop along the river. During the 1870s, Sanford invested significant amounts of money to the development of his city - he built a wharf, several hotels, a general store, and a sawmill - all of which he hoped would spur investment and growth in the city. Sanford also developed several experimental citrus groves in his Florida city. The first was St. Gertrude's Grove. The second and more successful grove was Belair, developed in the early 1870s. Though Sanford never lived in Florida, he did visit occasionally from the late 1860s until his death in 1891. His diplomatic and business duties kept him preoccupied abroad, and most of his development in Florida was undertaken by representatives and confidants. Following the "Great Freeze" of 1888, Sanford's Belair grove was destroyed. Sanford was committed to rebuilding the grove and, in the late stages of his life, he committed his energies to his Florida investments. He died several years later though, and his wife Gertrude, in an effort to settle debts owed in Europe and elsewhere following his death, sold many of Sanford's properties in Florida.

Eastman from Joe Baker (July 17, 1871) Alternative Title Baker Receipt for Eastman Subject Sanford (Fla.) Sanford, Henry Shelton, 1823-1891 Description This is a receipt of payment for Edwin G. Eastman from Joe Baker written on July 17, 1871. Baker charged Eastman $5.00 "for consultation advice in relation to a pair of horses bought." It is unclear who Joe Baker was. The two horses mentioned were presumably for use at Belair Grove or another Florida property owned by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891). Eastman was an associate of Sanford. The two initially met through their mutual service in the U.S. Diplomatic Corps during the American Civil War. Eastman served as an advisor and representative to Sanford for a brief period between 1870 and 1871. Eastman oversaw operations in the what would become Sanford, Florida, beginning in December 1870. He was put in charge by Henry Sanford to ensure the successful management of the sawmill built in 1870, He was also tasked with maintaining the various experimental groves owned by Sanford, first St. Gertrude's Grove and later Belair Grove. The more successful of the two, Belair Grove, was an experimental grove located three miles southwest of the city named after Sanford. It was part of the Sanford Grant, a 12,547.15-square acre allotment of land purchased by Henry Sanford in 1870. In Belair, Sanford introduced over 140 varieties of citrus plants. All were tested to determine if Florida citrus growers could effectively grow and introduce new varieties into the burgeoning citrus market. Sanford also grew exotic plants acquired from Central and South America, many of which survived the 1886 freeze. Sanford mainly used Belair as his own experiment station, but ultimately the findings and reports would be used by other citrus growers throughout Florida. Eventually, following Sanford's death in 1891, his wife, Gertrude Ellen Dupuy Sanford (1841-1902), handed over the operations of Belair to Sydney Octacius Chase, Sr. (1860-1941) and Joshua Coffin Chase (1858-1948).

Title Westinghouse Electric Collection Alternative Title Westinghouse Collection Subject Westinghouse Electric Corporation Description Originally called the Westinghouse Electric Company, George Westinghouse (1846-1914) founded his manufacturing company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886. In 1889, he renamed his business the The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. Westinghouse's primary products include turbines, generators, motors and switchgear related to the generation, transmission, and use of electricity. The company changed its name to Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1945. In 1981, the company began to relocate its divison headquarters for the Steam-Turbine Generator Divisions from Pennsylvania (turbines from Lester and generators from Pittsburgh) to Orlando, Florida. The Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail. Originally, Westinghouse had purchased a large plot of land for future development that extended westward from Alafaya Trail to Rouse Road. The original headquarters was located on several acres of that land parcel close to Alafaya Trail. In 1994, after a major corporate management shuffling, and a top-level decision to change from an industrial manufacturing company to primarily a broadcasting/communications company, Westinghouse bought the CBS Network and changed its name to the CBS Corporation. As the PGBU grew in size, other buildings in the area were leased and then, after PGBU was sold to Siemens Corporation of Germany in 1998, additional buildings (Quad II and Quad III) were added to the original complex at the Quadrangle. From 1998 to 2003 the Orlando operation was known as Siemens-Westinghouse, after which the name of Westinghouse was dropped. The operation has been known as Siemens from that time forward.

Title Westinghouse Electric Collection Alternative Title Westinghouse Collection Subject Westinghouse Electric Corporation Description Originally called the Westinghouse Electric Company, George Westinghouse (1846-1914) founded his manufacturing company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886. In 1889, he renamed his business the The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. Westinghouse's primary products include turbines, generators, motors and switchgear related to the generation, transmission, and use of electricity. The company changed its name to Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1945. In 1981, the company began to relocate its divison headquarters for the Steam-Turbine Generator Divisions from Pennsylvania (turbines from Lester and generators from Pittsburgh) to Orlando, Florida. The Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail. Originally, Westinghouse had purchased a large plot of land for future development that extended westward from Alafaya Trail to Rouse Road. The original headquarters was located on several acres of that land parcel close to Alafaya Trail. In 1994, after a major corporate management shuffling, and a top-level decision to change from an industrial manufacturing company to primarily a broadcasting/communications company, Westinghouse bought the CBS Network and changed its name to the CBS Corporation. As the PGBU grew in size, other buildings in the area were leased and then, after PGBU was sold to Siemens Corporation of Germany in 1998, additional buildings (Quad II and Quad III) were added to the original complex at the Quadrangle. From 1998 to 2003 the Orlando operation was known as Siemens-Westinghouse, after which the name of Westinghouse was dropped. The operation has been known as Siemens from that time forward.

Title Memorandum from Frank R. Bakos (January 7, 1994) Alternative Title Memo from Bakos (Jan. 7, 1994) Subject Westinghouse Electric Corporation Description A memorandum from Frank R. Bakos, Vice President and General Manager of Westinghouse Electric Corporation's Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU), regarding recent appointments and the restructuring of the PGBU in 1994. In 1983, the Westinghouse power generation business operation, starting with the Steam Turbine Generator Division, was taking shape in its new Orlando headquarters under the management team led by General Manager Dr. Stan Quick (under E. J. "Gene" Cattabiani, Vice President of the Power Generation Group). This series of letters, memoranda, and charts documents the changes in management leadership at the Orlando site from 1983 through 1998, when the Westinghouse Power Genration Business was acquired by Siemens. Following the announcement of the retirement of Dr. Quick in 1984, the management was led by the team of Bob Ractcliffe and Howard Pierce. In 1987, Tom Campbell was appointed General Manager of the Power Generation Technology Systems Division under Nat Woodsen and Jim Moore, Vice Presidents of the Power Systems Business Unit. In 1988, the Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) was formed under Frank R. Bakos, Vice President and General Manager (under Executive Vice President Ted Stern), and, in 1995, Randy H. Zwirn took the helm as Vice President and General Manager of the PGBU. He remained at the executive level for 20 years, through the PGBU acquisition by Siemens in 1998 and beyond to 2016. Originally called the Westinghouse Electric Company, George Westinghouse (1846-1914) founded his manufacturing company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886.

Charleston, SC: History Press, 2006. Transcript Baldwin Okay, where and, uh—where and when were you born? The address and year, please. Pottinger I was born in 1947 in August, but I will tell you this: that I am not a native-born Orlandoan, though my family has been here for many, many, many years. I was born on the British Bay Islands off of Honduras, which, uh, were, uh, for many years a British possession, and, uh—and where my mother’s family, the Kirk-Connells, are from. So in any event though, my family, uh, originally—my, uh, parents, uh—my—my dad’s family came to Orlando and brought him to recover from the great influenza [pandemic] of 1917<a title="">[1]</a> that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and a million people around the world. He was a, uh, cadet training at the University of Kentucky, and many of ‘em got it. They were able to, uh, come from their home in Kentucky down here and spent the winter, and nursed him back to health. He went back, graduated from UK in ’23, and by ’26 he was back here as a full time resident. So that’s how we got here. Uh, my mother’s family a little the same. they maintained a home in Tampa. Uh, My grandfather—her father—was, uh, a sailing ship captain, and, uh, came back and forth to Tampa Harbor, and, uh, she was born in the Bay I—British Bay Islands, Honduras, and, uh—which are a neat little thing, if you look at a map. They’re only three major islands of it and a bunch of little keys, but Honduras is the only country in Central America that faces north, and that’s where, eh, we’re all related with the same families in the Cayman Islands. So a—anyway, the indigenous to the Caribbean [Sea], uh—that’s how I got here. Baldwin Hm, very interesting. So how old were you exactly when you moved to Orlando? Pottinger I was just a—a baby. yeah. Baldwin Okay. Pottinger Mmhmm. Baldwin So what would you say was your favorite part about growing up in Orlando? Pottinger I think the neighborhoods of Orlando and then the friendships that we had in a small town. Uh, a wonderful place to grow up. Uh, you—particularly among the families that had been here a long time, uh, you knew each other across town. I mean, when I was, uh, young dating and what, uh, I went to Edgewater High School, but I dated girls from Boone High School, and in the afternoon, the little motor scooters—or later, the cars—would cross the boys from Boone going to Edgewater, ‘cause, of course, they were prettier girls, and the boys from Edgewater going to Boone, because they were beautiful girls. So that’s kind of the way, uh, we all grew up. we knew each other. Uh, it was a relatively small town, and, uh, that changed—the first change of that was Martin Marietta [Corporation] moving here from Baltimore[, Maryland], and, uh, bringing eight thousand families. Uh, I think I’m right on that figure, but, uh, eh, the—the—the life and breath of Orlando, uh, breathed around their ups and downs at Martin Marietta, uh, when, you know, armaments and so forth—missiles and such—were big. Things were booming and when they laid off three thousand people, Orlando was in dire straits. Baldwin So like, what time of year—what year… Pottinger That would have been the late ‘50s. Baldwin Okay[?]. Pottinger Yeah, that was all dairy land. All dairy. Baldwin Very interesting. Um, how and why did you become involved with Orlando Remembered? Pottinger I’ve always been a historian. Uh, I—I know it. With contemporaries of mine, it—it probably bored them to death, uh, but I was, uh, uh, a language person, and—and I was a history person. I wound up being a banker, but mathematics was never my long suit. I just, uh—people were—and—and that provided well for me in life. So, uh, that’s, you know—that’s kind of the reason I be—got involved. People asked me to come to get involved with Orlando Remembered, and it was my pleasure and has been all these years. Baldwin Very interesting. So you were not one of the founding members of… Pottinger No, I was not, uh, because, at that particular time, I was spending a little time out of here, and, uh, uh, the—the origin of it started at, uh, the Beacham Theatre. That’s where the first meeting—and I could not be there that particular time. Uh, We had a, uh, place in North Carolina, and, uh, like so many Floridians that grew up in the days before air conditioning, if you had 50 cents to clink together in your pocket, you either rented or you owned a place, as we did in Islands[?], North Carolina, or somewhere up that around Asheville—western North Carolina. Anyway, I was not here for that. So—but I soon right[?]. Baldwin So you’d been there almost the entire time. Pottinger Almost the entire time. Baldwin You just missed the first meeting? Pottinger Just wasn’t at the very first meeting, which I consider were the founders. I knew every one of them, um, there—there were some wonderful—The Serroses, the Pajo[sp], Vandenburg[sp]—Pajo[sp] Pounds, we all knew her as. So forth and so on. A lot of them that were very active in that time. Grace Chewning[sp], um… Baldwin Are a lot of the founding members still… Pottinger There are still a number of them, surprisingly enough, still—still around. Uh, Andy Serros is, uh—that I mentioned earlier—and his brother, Bob [Serros], is[—is active, but, uh, Andy passed away a few years ago and he was one of the original founders, and there was, uh—there were a couple of others that have passed away. Baldwin What is the overall goal of Orlando Remembered? Pottinger To preserve, uh, the memory of areas and locations, and landmarks in the city, and, uh, we’ve—we’ve done that in several ways, but, uh, I think one of the—the best ways is the, uh—the location of displays in various spots around Downtown Orlando, and a couple outside of downtown, uh, with memorabilia, uh, of that area, and, uh, You know, at some point in time, I’d love to take you on a walking tour and—and show you some of those things. Just to stroll down, uh, Orange Avenue, and you can see the way it looked in the—sometimes as far back there’ll be something there from the 1890s, from one of the hotels—from the hotel that my grandparents stayed in, when they came that year in 1918—at the Wyoming Hotel. Uh, there’s a set of china and—and some se—tableware that I believe are in the display at the Orange County Courthouse. Uh, go in the courthouse—for any of you that might want to make that tour and see—walk in the front, leave your holstered items in the car, because you’re going to go through the, uh—the, uh, security thing there, but go over to the left and you’ll see it, uh, in the lobby there. You’ll see a great one. Uh, it tells all about what’s happened on that street and that block and that area around there. It, uh, uh, had the Wyoming Hotel on it, which was only a winter hotel, as many in Florida were. It closed in the summer, like Park Avenue did. Uh, my in-laws had a, uh, store on Park Avenue for over 40 years, and they were one of the very few that stayed open year-round. Uh, Most of ‘em were—would head back in the cooler—warmer months of Florida. They’d go to cooler locations, uh, whether the hotels or the shops, like there—not—that wasn’t so in Orlando, necessarily. it was a year round, but in those winter destinations like that and such, they’d go, uh, up to Algonquin, you know, up to Maine, up to, uh, uh, Vermont—wherever they might be, and, uh, open a shop up there for the summer months and come back. So our whole, uh, life around here was really dependent on those northerners coming down, and, uh, in the early days, before Martin Marietta and such, in the winter time, we had not only the casual tourists who came down, because—to try and get away for a week or two—we had those that came down, as later my grandparents did, after enjoying it so much and—and many others, and spent time down here. Some of them spent the winter, some—excuse me—spent six months, but we also had the, uh, we were the winter, uh, trotting horse capital of the United States, and it brought a lot of revenue in. Uh, it was at—held out at Ben White [Raceway], which was a raceway that was at the corner of about what’s Lee Road and—and [U.S. Route] 441. Uh, It’s now a big athletic fields, and there’s some stables, I think, still in the back, but it was a huge, uh, money infusion in the winter. Those people came—the owners of those—that was—it was always considered a, uh, uh, society kick above, uh, horse racing. Uh, the trotters and pacers were brought down, and, uh, they stabled them here, and, uh—the races. It—it—you knew when—you knew when Ben White opened, because traffic picked up. Now that would sound ridiculous with today’s horrible traffic in Orlando… Baldwin [laughs]. Pottinger But back then there weren’t that many cars on the road and—and, uh, man, you’d see these automobiles come into town and up on the hood was a, uh—a metal, stainless, pretty thing of a, uh, trotting horse and a—and a sulky[?] behind it, You know? You knew they were involved in that. Eh, It just, uh—one of the things that—that, you know, came across that kept our town going before Martin Marietta and before [Walt] Disney [World Resort] and such. Baldwin Mentioning the horses, do you have an exhibit that features that aspect yet? Pottinger You know… Baldwin Aspect yet? Pottinger We—we have some pictures of it in one or two, but we don’t have anything, because there’s no facility out there left at Ben White to put it in. We would do that, because there—there—there’s enough, probably, memorabilia from those days, but what we try to do is locate what was on those various blocks. Maybe not just a block, maybe an area, in other words. We’ve—in some cases, we’ve helped spon—helped sponsor a plaque, uh, like for the air base that was in town. Where Herndon Airport<a title="">[2]</a> is today. It was the Orlando [Army] Air Base before it was the Navy base.<a title="">[3]</a> So, uh, you know, there are—there are—newcomers, or what maybe consider themselves long time Orlandoans—that remember a Navy base out there, but I remember when it was the Orlando Air Base, and—and we had another air base that opened, uh—was Pine Castle Air Base, and, uh, that’s, uh, now the Orlando International Airport. The runways were there for the big bombers and it was a SAC base—a Strategic Air Command, and again, both of those things brought in a great deal of money when they came here. Uh, the—the closing of Orlando Air Base was going to be a pretty big blow, and at that time, the owner and publisher of The Orlando Sentinel was a man name Martin Andersen—always with an “EN” at the end. Never—you could always tell somebody new to town when they write it as “Anderson,” but Martin Andersen was a Texas boy who knew LBJ,<a title="">[4]</a> and, uh, Johnson was president and, uh, he persevered on it and got a branch of the Great Lakes Naval Training Center to be established on the base, on part of what had been, uh, the—the air base, and, uh, it—it brought in not just recruits. It brought in families. It brought officers, enlisted men. It brought a whole lot of payroll coming in here. It was wonderful. Ah, uh, again, another mile stone that came along through connections or coincidence—whatever it might be. Uh, the same thing with the—the air base out here. Uh, it was going to close and MacDill [Air Force Base] in Tampa was going to take over as the air base for Florida—the major one, and, uh, the facilities were there for many years. The terminal was a big, uh, round-top hangar that had been used by the, uh—by the, uh, Air Force itself, and there was a lot of housing out there. There’s still some housing, uh, in—in that area out there, but, uh, there—There’s a, uh, Naval exchange, uh, where, you know, those that are qualified can—retirees and so forth—can go shop and so forth. Uh, a lot of other services were—were left in place and the city has had good use out of it. Baldwin Good, good. How does the group decide which sites to commemorate with exhibits? Pottinger Well, usually, it’s sponsored. Someone, uh, finds someone, uh, you know, that—that owns a building in that location, uh, and we—sometimes the building owner contributes financially to building—the displays are not cheap to put together, and, uh, you know, they’re—they’re—they’re housed—they’re lighted many of them and so forth, but, uh, it also takes someone who—who might have worked in that building or—or owned a building there and, uh, they have memorabilia, and, boy, we seize on it when we do, and, uh, they’re—they’re scattered throughout mostly in the downtown area. Uh, I mentioned the courthouse. The big Bank of America tower has one that we’re redoing in there now —I dedicated that when I was president of Orlando Remembered. Uh, I did a number of the—of the dedications of those, e—e—either when I was involved as—as one of the officers or not, but, uh, we have one in what was the Rutland building and that was a well-known building. That’s the corner of, uh—of Jefferson [Street] and—no, no—Jack—excuse me, uh—I believe it is on Orange Avenue at the corner of Washington [Street] —Washington and Orange. Uh, A building that once housed the most prestigious, uh, men’s store and lady’s store in downtown, when they were private companies, not big, you know, uh, uh, department stores—nation chain—national chains and such. Uh, We have another one in the SunTrust [Center] tower downtown that we’ve had there in the, uh—what was originally the CNA Building, but where the Citrus Club is, and that name has changed a number of times on that building. So—but, uh, they’re—they’re throughout there. They, uh—and again, usually it’s—it’s because someone has a real interest in it or a financial interest in getting one of those, uh, displays in there. Uh, eh, It’s, uh—it’s a job to maintain them. They need periodic cleaning and dusting. The city has—has helped us with one. There’s one at the, uh, Bob Carr [Theater] auditorium, uh, that shows—that used to be the Orlando Municipal Auditorium. It was the auditorium and it wasn’t as big as it is today. If you go inside and you really look, you’ll see the old front is 20 feet back from the front now, uh, and it’s where people gather outside and so forth, but it’s air conditioned and then—so forth. It’s—it’s an anti-room to the—to the auditorium itself. We’re hoping that—that it’ll stay that way. There’s talk of tearing it down, and it’s a treasure that, uh, those of us that—that love Orlando, uh, would hate to see come down, and, uh, it—it—it’s a memory. I mean, we went to, uh, plays, you know, eh, when we were in junior—I mean in the grade school—went there. Uh, the Junior League used to put a play on every year there, and all the school children in Orlando got to take turns going down to see it in busses and so forth. I remember that as a—a child. It—it was great. Baldwin So you mentioned the exhibits are usually started by somebody who’s interested. Eh, like—I’m sure a lot of people are interested in creating different exhibits. How do you decide which exhibit’s going to be created by that person? Pottinger Well, we can only do one at a time, because we’re—we’re—we have no continuous funding basis. So a lot of times, it also depends on the owner of a building. who’s going to, first place, give us the space and the electricity and so forth, and might want one of those in there to draw, uh, attention to their own building or, you know, it’s a lot cheaper than buying a, uh, painting to put on the wall, probably, for ‘em, over the long run, uh, and It—it gives—it’s on tours many times. Uh, I’ve done those tours and taken people, you know, and I think the, uh—the museums now has[sic] a tour basis. I’m pretty sure that includes that, and—and their brochures that—that you can get, you—today you go online and you can find out where they all are and it’s even a map, I think, in there to—to follow through. Baldwin How does Orlando Remembered pay for the exhibits? Pottinge With contributions from its members, uh, from, uh, the owners of the building. Uh, most of the material that goes in there—in fact, t—to all of it, it is given to us. It’s donated to that particular, uh, point to—to some—someone that may have worked in—the one, you know, where there was a department store. Uh, hey may have the old nametag out of the back of a sweater or something. Uh, you know, to one that had a, uh, restaurant in it, there’s some china from that Wyoming Hotel, I tell you about, and some, uh, other things. So the materials that go into it, we don’t pay for. We just need the—the cabinetry and so forth—is—is all custom done and it’s done attractively. So it’s thousands of dollars to do it, and, uh, uh, uh, I’m talking, you know, uh, uh, five figure in thousands. So, eh, you know, it’s—it’s, uh, not something that you just decide because you have some china that you’ll put it in there. You need—you need a, uh, sugar daddy that’s—that’s there to contribute. Baldwin Roughly how many members of Orlando Remembered are there? Pottinger I can’t tell you that. I really don’t know. I’m—I’m a, uh, you know—I—I just—I can’t recall a—a recent number. Baldwin Okay. In your opinion, what’s your favorite Orlando Remembered exhibit? Pottinger Well, I love the one in the courthouse, as I said. Uh, There’s, uh—there are several of them downtown that, uh—that the, uh, one at the Municipal Auditorium—that’s another one that I like. The one that was in the Rutland building, and at, uh, one time, I’m not sure we still have the one that was at the, uh, back of Central Avenue-side of, uh, the northeast corner—southeast corner of Central and Orange, which was originally Yowell’s[?] and became Yowell’s[?] -Ivy’s Department Store. Uh, it’s an office building now, and who knows what’s in the downtown—downstairs. It rotates constantly, but, uh, that was a good one. SunTrust has an[sic], uh, good one. Some of ‘em, you know, we’ve had to track down, because all of sudden somebody goes by and looks, and it’s gone. Someone has, you know—the manager of the building has decided to put it in a storage room, hopefully. Uh, we’ve—we’ve lost a couple of ‘em that, uh, you know, uh—the materials We’ve had to buy back a janitor or custodian—whatever it would be—keeper of ‘em—at, uh, one of those corners at Central and Orange—took a lot of it home and we had to repurchase things, because it had been given to us, and, uh, you know, you—you just—it can happen in a moment, and—and it can, you know—I mean, we are not a—a business that goes by and checks it every week. So, you know, months can go by and one of our members doesn’t notice it, and no one calls us and says, “You know, there was a display in, eh, the lobby, but it’s not there anymore.” Well, I don’t know that we—we don’t really have a—an office phone number to call. So, uh, we—we’ve been through all of that with it, but, you know, determination and a love for the city and to continue its history has kept us going, and we continue to provide these. So we’ll—it costs money to maintain them. Again, as I think I mentioned earlier, they have to be cleaned. They have to be opened. they’re sealed. It has to be a, uh—it’s not a, uh—take a—a rag down there and—and clean the outside. You gotta clean the inside, you gotta clean the displays, gotta clean the linings, and so forth. So it—it takes—it takes upkeep and it takes, uh, continuous maintenance. Baldwin Who’s responsible for… Pottinger Well, the… Baldwin Cleaning and everything? Pottinger We’ve—get someone to do it—a professional to do it, and again, that’as part of—of maintaining these. Uh, we—we don’t have any huge balance, so we have to do it as we can. Baldwin What are your personal goals for Orlando Remembered in the future? Pottinger I’d like to see it continued on and on, and, uh, the, eh, eh, you know—for those of us that are, as I am, near 70, uh—and—and we’ve got members that are, you know, 85 years old, and so, uh, uh, you know—but we’ve got members coming along that have lived here 35 years, 50 years, 60 years. There’ll be things that they remember that have changed dramatically in Orlando that—and there’s space to make, uh—to put a display up, uh, and—and I think that, uh, they’ll be active in that. Uh, we’ve tried to get some other organizations, and then[?]—I won’t mention the name, but, uh, there’s one that’s a lot of young ladies your age—under 40, I think—and you go inactive[?] or something, if I remember right. My wife and daughters were—daughter was in that, but, in any—in Junior League—and, eh, you know, we may indeed get them interested. So there are things like that, that, uh—that—that will be of interest to someone later, and the displays that we did will be of no more interest, uh, in many cases. Some we hope, but once you lose the generation that remembers what was in that building, it becomes something for the history museum, not something for an active mind to draw you back to your own personal memories of it, and, therefore, you need to continue on, and, o’ course, downtown now, you’ll have to have a great memory of which nightclubs were where… Baldwin [laughs]. Pottinger ‘Cause that’s about all there is in those buildings downtown anymore. So—but, uh, you know, there—there are spots for it everywhere. Baldwin Has Orlando Remembered had—had a lot of success at attracting younger generations and everything? Pottinger Uh, I think we’ve—we’ve done alright. We’ve got a good, uh, variance of age groups. Uh, we’d like to have more younger people. We’d love to have people your age. We’d love to have people from the university, and, as you are doing, take an interest. We welcome you. There are no dues to come, uh, help us. We’d love to have it. Baldwin How does Orlando Remembered interact with the community? Pottinger Well, we try to do it with these displays and—and by keeping them alive. A little bit of writing the newspaper has done well with us, and we’ve been able to, uh, get some good publicity when we open these, and, uh, once in a while, we do an interview, like this one is—is being done, and we have others. We’ve—I’ve[?] done a TV interview and a—a show. So, I mean, it’s—it’s, uh, eh—I’ve also gone around to schools and some of—not specifically to talk about Orlando Remembered—but I try to bring out when I talk about history to them, the, you know—go see the displays that are—that are available, and, uh, it—it’ll—it’ll—and take your parents with you, because they’ll remember a lot of those things that are in there. Baldwin What was the connection between Orlando Remembered and the Historical Society of Central Florida/the Orange County Regional History Center? Pottinger Not really anything in the—in the years other than cross membership. Uh, it’s two separate accounts and, uh, two separate organizations. I was also president of the Orange County [Historical] Museum<a title="">[5]</a> and the historical society—Orange County Historical Society, before it moved downtown, when—the last year that it was at Loch Haven [Park], in what is—I’m trying to think what’s there in that theater thing now—but anyway, um, it—it was there for many—it was originally in an old, red brick courthouse when I was a little boy. That’s where that park in front of the historical museum is. Uh, in the front was an 18, uh, 88- or 1892- courthouse, and it was the—the 1927 courthouse where the museum—museum is today—was there and active as the courthouse. This red brick building was start—had the—the museum in it, that was all volunteer, run by the Antiquarian Society, which was a group of prominent family ladies who gathered memorabilia and—and volunteered hours up there, and, uh, it was relatively small, but it was the beginning of the history center. Some of those volunteers’ children or grandchildren had been active in the historical society and in Orlando Remembered. Baldwin Which organization were you president of first? Pottinger Uh, the museum, I think, uh, eh, eh, if my memory serves, but I think—yes, I’m certain of it. Uh, again, age hits you Baldwin [laughs]. Pottinger You try to remember which one was which, but I—I was president of the historical society and the museum, uh, and I think that was 1999 or 2000 [inaudible]—something like that—and, uh, after—following that—that I really got active in—in Orlando Remembered. I had been a little bit active, but I’ve given you another line—something else to do. You know, when you get finished being the president of an organization, the greatest thing you can do is to step aside and let the new people have it, and don’t hang around from it. Baldwin Sometimes that’s the hardest thing though. Pottinger It is hard. It is hard, but, uh, in any event, uh, it—it—it was a good break and I’ve—I’ve enjoyed it. Both of ‘em. Baldwin How does—how does one become involved with Orlando Remembered? Pottinger Oh, our meetings, and—and, uh, I can give you an address—you may have it—for Grace, uh, and she is, uh—she is our recording secretary and a great person, and you do have that, uh—that address—e-mail. Uh, she can put you on a mailing list. We’d love to have—and if there are other students that would like to come sit [inaudible]—to some, it may be very boring, you know, and—and we talk about the same thing—about trying to get a display. I don’t know how long we’ve gone on trying to put together getting a display on the Navy base of some<a title="">[6]</a>—what would I call a Navy base—but out at Baldwin Park. Not just a little sign, but a—a real display of what used to be there— the glass-cased display. It’s gonna happen one of these days, but gosh, you know, even somebody that’s a member gets tired of hearing, “Well, we’ve made no progress on the,” you know, this and that, and the next thing over and over, but we—we—right now, there’s a lot of, uh—a lot of our displays are[sic]—have[sic] hit the age and stage of maintenance, and so, that’s been our—our push this last year, rather than new ones, but we’ll continue on, and perhaps we’ll go beyond just Orlando. You know, Winter Park area has others and, uh, you know, a, uh—a couple of the—the fine families out in West Orange County have done a great job in Winter Garden. Uh, they’ve—they’ve really done a super job. If you’ve not been to Downtown Winter Garden, don’t miss it. It is as pretty, if not more beautiful, than Park Avenue in Winter Park. It’s, uh, uh—it’s two streets with a park—little park down the middle, and some great restaurants. Good place just to go out and sip one in the evening or to eat lunch or something. Baldwin I was actually just there last week for their [Central Florida] Railroad Museum. Pottinger Oh, wonderful. Baldwin So that’s a very… Pottinger That’s great. Baldwin It’s the first time I’ve ever been Downtown Winter Garden. Pottinger Isn’t it… Baldwin It’s so pretty. Pottinger A cute little town? Baldwin Mmhmm. Pottinger It really is, and—and it was dilapidated—is not the word for it—15 years ago. I mean it—but again, several families, uh, have, uh, the Chicones and a few others have put together some—some wonderful things out there. Uh, Again, I urge you to go out there. Baldwin So I know you mentioned that like, downtown’s all just nightclubs and stuff and Orlando Remembered does exhibits. Would Orlando Remembered ever try to preserve an entire building, you think? or is that too far out of the question? Pottinger No, I think it’s too far beyond what—what, uh—again, we have no source of—of continuous income. So it—it wouldn’t, uh—unless someone donated a building to us, and, uh, you know, it’d be wonderful, and, uh, you know, you could do vignettes on, uh, you know—throughout the building, or—or a home, you know, that showed various spots. That might even be safer than the way we do it where we’re putting our display—an expensive display in the lobby of a building. Again, without constant control, we don’t know when it winds up at the janitor’s garage at home. So, you know, you—you just need a continuous thing, and, you know, we have no employees. It’s not—it’s just volunteer. All of it. Baldwin How do you believe Orlando Remembered will change in the future? Pottinger Well, I know there’ll be changes to it, but I think some of ‘mem will be good, because I, eh—just like this right now, I see more interest in young people with history, uh, you know, than—than there were—was in my day growing up. It—it—there was very little interest in—in, uh—I was—I was a rarity to be a young lad, and, uh, uh, I don’t know of another soul… <div> <div> <a title="">[1]</a> Correction: 1918. </div> <div> <a title="">[2]</a> Now called the Orlando Executive Airport. </div> <div> <a title="">[3]</a> Naval Training Center Orlando. </div> <div> <a title="">[4]</a> Lyndon Baines Johnson. </div> <div> <a title="">[5]</a> Present-day Orange County Regional History Center. </div> <div> <a title="">[6]</a> Naval Training Center (NTC) Orlando. </div> </div> Andy Serros Antiquarian Society Baldwin Park Bank of America Beacham Theater Beacham Theatre Ben White Ben White Raceway BHS Bob Carr Theater Bob Serros, Pajo Pounds Boone High School Central Avenue Chicone Citrus Club CNA Building Connell Dann Pottinger Downtown Orlando Downtown Winter Garden Edgewater High School EHS Grace Chewning Herndon Airport historic preservation Historical Society of Central Florida horse racing horse tracks horse trot horses Junior League Kirk LBJ Lee Road Loch Haven Park Lyndon B.

Transcript State of Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Committion Tallahassee 32304 September 5, 1963 A.D. Aldrich, Director O.E. Frye, Ass't Director Mr, Clayton Phillippy 2202 Lakeland Hills Boulevard Lakeland, Florida Dear Flip: Mr. Doyle Golden submitted his report yesterday on the Lake Apopka fish which were forwarded to him for analysis. Attached is a copy of the report which indicated the presence of three types of insecticides found in both the bream and bass. We discussed the possibility of his agency conducting additional tests, and he informed us that there is a possibility that he could handle a limited number of samples during the last week of October. It is recommended that the next sample contain gizzard shad and catfish. In my opinion, the catfish sample should include some of the smaller fish which are in poor condition. It is also desirable that a sample be obtained from a commercial fisherman if possible. Keep this sample separate. Eddie Cromwell is familiar with the Department of Agriculture procedure and the name of the gentleman to contact in Sanford. Their representative may wish to be present when the fish samples are taken. It is suggested that Eddie contact Mr. Burke Chester sometime during the first or second week in October to make final arrangements. Sincerely, Jerry F.G.
