Anti-Gay Pride LGBT members of a notoriously anti-gay party have been banned from

marching in Londonrsquos Pride parade

Participants in Gay Pride Parade Day on July 3 2010 in Central London England

THERErsquoS A STORM BREWING ACROSS THE POND

This weekend London will host its annual Pride

celebration where thousands of British queers willparade through the cityrsquos ancient streets They have

plenty to celebrate too Itrsquos been over a year since marriageequality was legalized in England and Wales (Scotland followed

later that year) and Britain is often voted as the most LGBT-friendly nation in Europe

But the weekend-long celebrations look set to be over-shadowed and not just by the typically unpredictable British

weather Instead a political quagmire has formed in the wake of

Pride in Londonrsquos decision to ban one of the UKrsquos political par-ties from marching in the parade Yes Pride mdash normally an ode

to all things inclusion mdash is preventing a group of LGBT peoplefrom marching together Why

In short theyrsquore members of a party notorious for its homo-phobic views The United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP

is a right-wing party that advocates for the UK to leave the

European Union Widely viewed as racist nationalism temperedfor the mainstream the partyrsquos members have frequently come

under fire for charged statements against migrants and ethnicminorities when campaigning for votes

Of course as with any party filled with right-wing narrow-

minded members mdash party data suggests UKIP supporters con-

sist mostly of white older working-class males with limitedhigher education mdash homophobia is rife PinkNews compiled a

list of UKIP membersrsquo various outbursts including a candidatecalling for ldquopooftersrdquo to be shot to convince others that they

should choose to be straight a party donor claiming that gay

people are incapable of love (he also believes women should bebanned from wearing trousers) the partyrsquos leader Nigel Farage

suggesting that itrsquos okay for older people to be homophobic anda UKIP councillor who famously claimed that support for gay

marriage was the cause of flooding in EnglandIndeed in this yearrsquos national elections UKIP actively

campaigned on an anti-LGBT manifesto with support for con-

science laws that would exempt Christians from adhering toanti-discrimination laws mdash similar to the recent proliferation

of ldquoreligious freedomrdquo laws in the US During election debatesFarage also attempted to demonize those with HIV claiming

migrants were coming to the country for treatment and deny-ing hospital resources to British citizens His opponents openly

condemned his statementsItrsquos perhaps understandable then that when Pride in

London released a statement initially saying they wouldnrsquot pre-

ONCE AGAIN THE DC COUNCIL HAS FOUNDitself in the crosshairs of congressional conserva-

tives And once more a coalition of LGBT and repro-ductive rights organizations is banding together to

oppose attempts to meddle in District affairsEvery year as part of the appropriations process for the

upcoming fiscal year the District of Columbia must have its

budget approved by Congress mdash even for plans involving non-

federal funds As part of the process members of congress arefrequently able to attach congressional riders mdash typically con-troversial amendments that dictate the terms of how and when

money can or cannot be spent mdash to a larger spending billThe addition of a controversial measure that might not nec-

essarily pass as a standalone bill is a way to sneak the provision

into law Because the president can only decide whether or notto veto the whole bill rather than individual line items many

riders can be successfully introduced and implemented as thepresident is usually less willing to expend political capital to

fight against a single provisionIn the spotlight this year is the Reproductive Health Non-

Discrimination Amendment Act (RHNDAA) a bill unanimously

passed by the DC Council last year It prevents employers fromdiscriminating or retaliating against employees their spouses

and dependents for their reproductive decisions mdash such as if awoman has previously had an abortion has opted to use birth

control or has undergone in vitro fertilization to become preg-nant In light of recent Supreme Court rulings most notably in

the Hobby Lobby case all of those reproductive decisions maybe fodder for an employer who feels that such decisions violate

their religious or moral beliefs

The bill was targeted by congressional conservatives earlierthis year after Senate and House members tried to overturn the

law A similar bill prohibiting religiously-affiliated educationalinstitutions from discriminating against LGBT students or

groups was also targeted Attempts to overturn both bills failed

with the laws going into effect in MayAfter failing to stop the reproductive rights bill from going

into effect congressional conservatives instead have targeted

its funding introducing a rider that prohibits the District from

using its own funds to enforce the law That rider was introducedby US Rep Steven Palazzo (R-Miss) and passed on a largely

party-line vote in the House Committee on AppropriationsAccording to congressional observers it is still unclear when

the bill will be brought forward for a vote of the full Houseof Representatives or if the rider will remain intact when the

appropriations bill is voted upon for final passage

So far there have been no attempts to introduce a similarrider prohibiting the enforcement of the LGBT nondiscrimina-

Budget BattleCoalition of LGBT and pro-choice groups

stands together to opposecongressional rider

people were upset

ldquoWe provide a platform for every part of the LGBT+ commu-nity and respect the principles of free speechrdquo Pride in London

said in a statement ldquoWe do not discriminate against people based

on their political affiliation and all political parties taking part inthe Parade will be positioned together in the same sectionrdquo

Shortly after the decision was announced a petition was draft-ed calling for UKIPrsquos members to be banned from marching in the

parade ldquoNigel Farage leader of Ukip clearly does not support the

values of acceptance that Pride promotesrdquo it stated ldquoand Ukip isan inherently homophobic transphobic xenophobic racist andmisogynistic political partyrdquo Veteran LGBT rights campaigner

Peter Tatchell demanded that Pride reverse their decision claim-

ing that the partyrsquos opposition to same-sex marriage frequenthomophobic outbursts and staunchly anti-equality voting record

meant that it shouldnrsquot be allowed to march alongside the UKrsquosother main parties all of which support LGBT equality

Two days later Pride in London reversed their decisionUKIPrsquos application to join the parade was turned down with

Pride stating it had made the decision ldquoin order to protect par-

ticipants and ensure the event passes off safely and in the rightspiritrdquo emphasizing that its decision had ldquonot been made on a

political basisrdquo The paradersquos organizers argued that there wereconcerns for the safety of parade volunteers and fears that angry

demonstrators could disrupt proceedings should UKIP be thereldquoThere is no level of prejudice that is unacceptable as long

as it is directed against UKIPrdquo Nigel Farage wrote in a columnfor the Daily Express He noted that his party had been ldquobanned

outlawed in factrdquo from attending Pride and that he thought the

parade ldquowas about standing for tolerance rather than censor-ship and haterdquo Somewhat ironically Farage then compared the

discrimination against his party to the ldquobigotry and sometimeseven racismrdquo experienced by many Brits mdash conveniently ignor-

ing UKIPrsquos racist reputationLondonrsquos Mayor Boris Johnson stated that he didnrsquot agree

with Pridersquos decision ldquoI passionately believe in the Pride marchand the values of equality it represents and think that all shouldbe allowed to participaterdquo Even Peter Tatchell who initially

opposed UKIPrsquos inclusion has now admitted that he is ldquostrug-glingrdquo with the ban ldquoFor me this is a grey conflicted issuerdquo he

wrote ldquoI can sympathise with some aspects of both sides of theargument but on balance for now the case against UKIP LGBTrsquos

marching in the Pride parade is strongerrdquoFor its part LGBT in UKIP the partyrsquos LGBT group intends

to march in Sundayrsquos parade ldquoDespite this ban LGBT in UKIP do

plan to show a presencerdquo the group wrote in a bulletin to membersHowever the controversy has inevitably politicized the entire

affair UKIPrsquos LGBT group no longer wants to march for the sake ofshowing pride mdash instead it wants to do so as a statement of intent

ldquoIt is important that we get as many LGBT people from UKIP toattend as there will be media interest in usrdquo

Pride in London this year threatens to be overshadowed by

a deep split among its revellers with plenty of opinions on bothsides of the UKIP debate Should LGBT in UKIP choose to

march together in defiance of Pridersquos ban therersquos every chancethat it could disrupt what is otherwise supposed to be a joyous

celebration Of course there is also the argument that despitetheir politics they are still members of the LGBT community

mdash if Pride is for everyone it really must mean everyone surelyAfter all the Republican Party is hardly the dictionary defini-

tion of inclusion and tolerance mdash and most gays may oppose their

politics mdash but wersquod never ban Log Cabin members from Pride l

GROWING UP IN RURAL KENTUCKY DURINGthe late rsquo70s and early rsquo80s mdash the time of national

transition from Carter to Reagan mdash the Confederateflag was an ever-present icon in the background of

my life Belt buckles and bumper stickers t-shirts and flags all

little reminders of the slogan ldquoThe South will rise againrdquoWhile I had studied the basic history of the Civil War and

slavery the flag didnrsquot ping my radar as racist Instead it was just another signifier for Hank Williams Jr and Lynyrd Skynyrd

fans a rebel flag reduced to a marker in the battle between MTV

and NashvilleThat was my ignorance

Yoursquod expect that heading off to a good university wouldhave corrected some of my notions about American history

But I ended up at Washington and Lee the rural Virginia col-lege where Gen Robert E Lee retired after the Civil War and

took up the cause of molding Southern gentleman Lee Chapel

featured a marble statue of the general sleeping at camp dur-

ing wartime surrounded by Confederate flags looming overstudents during any assembly (The flags were removed in 2014after furious protests from many alumni)

This was where I first heard phrases like ldquoThe War ofNorthern Aggressionrdquo and assertions that the Civil War was

not about slavery but instead about statesrsquo rights and economics

and whatever other excuses might be historically handy Wewatched Gone with the Wind in Politics 101 mdash the class moved

to an auditorium to handle the overflow and everyone cheeredwhen Scarlett shot the Union soldier in the face

Though I considered myself not-racist I never pushed backbecause these were my friends and fraternity brothers It didnrsquot

seem important enough to question

Again that was my ignoranceOnce I found myself out of the closet and abandoned by those

same friends even targeted by their hatred those same thingsbegan to seem very important to question I suddenly had more

empathy for black students who had complained about oneyearrsquos Fancy Dress Ball theme being ldquoThe Dark Continentrdquo and

another being the antebellum SouthThat was my privilege

It took my losing access to all the white heterosexual male

perks of life to better understand how it feels to be on the out-side in America Sadly even that experience isnrsquot enough for

some as Irsquove seen far too many white LGBT people put on thesame blinders when it comes to race Sad as it is in 2015 we

have as far to go as pretty much every other white person inthis country

As certain white folks congratulate themselves on takingthe brave steps to remove a racist flag from a state capitolrsquos

grounds the rest of us white folks shouldnrsquot forget that it took

nine African-Americans being shot in cold blood in their churchin order to get it done And we still have a significant white

culture that views the Confederate flag as ldquoheritagerdquo and theCivil War as a noble effort unrelated to slavery despite the well-

documented words and statements of the Confederate leadersthat they were going to war to preserve slavery

We live in this weird world where white people believe itrsquos

worse to be called a racist than to be a racist where the sight ofa black woman using food stamps in a checkout line sparks out-

rage while the white woman doing the same one lane over goesunremarked where whites want to say ldquonrdquo because black

people do but call President Obama a racist divider for using theword while talking about actual racism

As white people we can pretend all we want that wersquore color-blind that we live in a country thatrsquos conquered racism that our

political system treats everyone fairly regardless of the color of

their skin That would be willful ignorance And ignorance fos-ters hate poisons our culture and sometimes kills

Itrsquos time for us to stop pretending

Whitewashing History

Itrsquos time for whites mdash including LGBTs mdash to

move beyond willful ignorance when it comesto race in America

OPINION Sean Bugg

tion law However the coalition of LGBT groups and womenrsquosreproductive rights groups has continued working together

behind the scenes to marshal opposition to any potential ridersThe coalition has also actively sought out support from local

business owners and has cobbled together more than 100 DC-based businesses to sign a letter expressing their opposition

to any attempts to undermine either RHNDAA or the LGBT

nondiscrimination law Signatories of the letter include CorkMarket amp Tasting Room where coalition members opposing the

rider held a rally on Tuesday to call attention to the cause CorkWine Bar Hillrsquos Kitchen Lucky Bar Mr Henryrsquos Restaurant

The Pug Oasis Hair Salon Unisex Bulldog Finance Group andBusboys and Poets

Sasha Bruce senior vice president of campaigns and strategyof NARAL Pro-Choice America one of the reproductive rights

groups heading up the coalition says the coalitionrsquos ability to

successfully canvass and call employers to organize opposi-tion to any potential riders demonstrates how out-of-touch

Congress is not only with the residents of the District but withits business owners who donrsquot wish to discriminate against their

employees because of their personal reproductive decisionsBruce adds that the decision by members of Congress to

target the RHNDAA law rather than also going after the LGBTnondiscrimination law is based on a political calculation madeby Republicans controlling Congress

ldquoThe question is why did they end up leaving LGBT discrimi-nation off the table as these bills move to a floor vote And I think

it is pure politicsrdquo says Bruce ldquoThey feel it is not a political liabil-ity to attack womenrsquos reproductive rights and they are wrong It

is absolutely a liability Seven in 10 Americans are supportive ofabortion access for women regardless of what they would choose

to do themselves and 99 percent of women that are or have been

of reproductive age have used birth control These guys are com-pletely out of touch with the American mainstreamrdquo l

MARK HUNKER HAS BEEN GOING TO THE18th amp U Duplex Diner since the second day

it was in business Or maybe it was the thirdday he canrsquot quite recall While 17 years mdash to

the month mdash can rush by and make memories

blurry for anyone itrsquos especially true when your ties to a placerun deeper than mere longevity as Hunkerrsquos do to Duplex

ldquoThis place I grew up hererdquo the 50-year-old Hunker half- jokes Certainly it would be hard to overstate the significance

Duplex Diner has had in Hunkerrsquos adult life So significant hepicked the gay DC landmark as the place to get hitched He mar-

ried Jeff Shields almost five years ago on the steps off the foyer

leading into the dining room And so significant he is essentiallyraising his nine-year-old daughter Samantha in the place just a

block from their DC residence In fact when Samantha was justa baby bartender Jesse Tyler installed a special high chair that

hooks right onto the bar mdash a measure to ensure the continuedpatronage of her daddy one of its best customers

It worked and then some Last December Hunker took hissupport to the ultimate level becoming an owner of the diner

along with Jeff McCracken The two longtime friends are alsopart of a core group of early customers that Eric Hirshfieldthe restaurantrsquos original proprietor calls ldquofounding membersrdquo

And yet that alone is not what made them the obvious choiceto take over this long-established institution Instead itrsquos the

experience theyrsquove developed as owners of two restaurants inRehoboth Beach Delaware The upscale (Hunker calls it ldquobeach

elegantrdquo) Eden Restaurant which they bought 10 years ago and

Jam Bistro built next door in 2010 According to Hirshfield thetwo popular Rehoboth restaurants like the diner in DC before

them ldquohave also kind of become institutionsrdquo All three aredraws mdash places that many people in the community go to regu-

larly and most everyone else goes to at least occasionally ldquoSo I

guess theyrsquore building a mini-empire of restaurant institutionsrdquoHirshfield laughs

Yoursquod be forgiven if this mini-empire all-but escaped yournotice mdash even if you count yourself a Duplex regular Six months

into their ownership Hunker and McCracken have barely trum-

peted that news Itrsquos basically been business as usual at Duplexwith few changes made and few anticipated for the foresee-

able future The two didnrsquot buy the business from its secondowner Kevin Lee to change it or assert their authority but to

ensure it stays the place theyrsquove long known and loved ExplainsMcCracken ldquoMark and I want it to remain basically what it is

and kind of let it evolve a little bitrdquo

Of course they wouldnrsquot dream of changing the two bath-rooms mdash the original shrine to Madonna and the newer tribute

to other pop divas each with wall-plastered press clippings andpiped-in music But they also think the overall space remains

fine as it is four years after Lee remodeled it last ldquoKevin didquite a bit of work to the dining room and the bar and I still

think itrsquos freshrdquo says McCracken who renovates houses anddoes handiwork in his spare time Hunker and McCracken have

also kept the place running the same retaining most employeesmany of whom have been there for 10 years or more mdash this ina high-turnover industry where staff often last a year or less at

any one placeldquoIrsquove watched them grow up and get married buy houses

have childrenrdquo Hirshfield says ldquoThere are some employees thathave worked there longer than I didrdquo That is counting from the

time Duplex opened in 1998 to the time he sold it to Lee and his

partner Holger in 2011 ldquoJesse the bartender lapped me abouttwo or three years agordquo Hirshfield says

Lee was another employee who ldquoonlyrdquo lasted 13 yearsincluding nearly a decade as a bartender and server He chalks

up Duplex Dinerrsquos impressive retention rate to an environ-




ment akin to a ldquogay Cheersrdquo mdash itrsquos friendly familiar even familialldquoPeople I hired would say lsquoOh my god this is the nicest place Irsquove

ever workedrsquordquo he says ldquoThe place just feels very comfortable and

homey and doesnrsquot give off an air of pretentiousnessrdquo Adds HunkerldquoEverybody here has grown to become a little familyrdquo

One of the few changes Hunker and McCracken made was topromote Kelly Laczko to the newly created position of general man-

ager after she had spent six years as a bartender and server Laczkohad turned down offers to manage other bars and restaurants but

ldquothis was the right time and the right place I wouldnrsquot have wantedto do it anywhere elserdquo Both Hirshfield and Lee say Hunker and

McCracken made the right choice in promoting Laczko to handle

the venuersquos day-to-day operations ldquoShe knows what shersquos doingshersquos on point honest and hard-workingrdquo Lee says

ldquoI was really happy to hear that she took over as general man-agerrdquo Hirshfield adds ldquoThe diner is definitely in good handsrdquo

Hunker and McCracken also retained Leersquos original hire of MarkMulvey as chef The Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef had worked at a

restaurant in the foodie destination of Charleston South Carolina

ldquoI think Mark is anxious to spreadhis wings a little bit and wersquore giv-

ing him more license to do thatrdquo McCracken saysLast month Duplex unveiled Mulveyrsquos slight revamp of the

menu developed after months of consultation with Laczko

and the owners The new menu still adheres to a notion ofDuplex as the place to go for gay Washingtonians and oth-

ers looking for slightly upgraded diner-fare mdash one of thebetter burgers in town plus above-par Reuben and chicken

sandwiches and a homemade-style meatloaf entreacutee servedwith green beans and creamy mashed potatoes It also offers

slightly healthier fare notably through entreacutee-sized salads

such as broccolini with grilled chicken an option suited to ahealth-conscious clientele

All of those items remain essentially unchanged thoughthe menu does see the return of a couple of older sides For

example the burgers mdash three twists on the Angus beef stan-dard plus a vegetarian option made with black beans mdash and

other sandwiches are now served with hand cut fries (unlessyoursquod prefer tater tots or onion rings) These are the smaller

better variety Duplex once served before one surmises a

size-queen mentality mucked up a good thing Speaking ofbig the large plump pickles once served in a bucket mdash in lieu

of a breadbasket mdash have also returned to the menu althoughonly ldquoupon requestrdquo




A few of the new Mulvey-designed standouts first saw lifeas specials over the past several months a Watermelon and

Basil Salad which is an unusually good twist on a Caprese

salad but with feta replacing mozzarella to make up forthe missing tomato which even watermelon-averse eaters

wonrsquot hate an entreacutee of crispy rockfish with lemon-buttersauce served with toasted farro risotto and kale and Wild

Mushroom Ragout an incredibly rich and flavorful veg-etarian entreacutee consisting of shitake and Hen of the Woods

mushrooms and a creamy polenta with tomato butter sauceThe new menu was partially influenced by the philosophy

that guides the pairrsquos Rehoboth restaurants ldquoWe do nothing

off the truckrdquo says McCracken ldquoItrsquos all made in-house orusing fresh produce that we prepare and offer all the timerdquo

A new foldout cocktail menu was also recently unveiledlisting the finer wines and higher-quality beers both bot-

tled and on tap Of course Duplexrsquos signature drink theLemon Squeeze remains as do the many muddled-fruit-

with-vodka variations itrsquos inspired

For her part Laczko who has her own events plan-ning business intends

to throw more and bet-ter organized events

and parties in the spacemdash such as an Edge of

S e v e n t e e n- the m e danniversary party

Friday July 17 with

DJ Khelan Shersquos alsoworking to establish a

regular Ladiesrsquo Nightmdash the type geared for

lesbians and the ladieswho love them mdash as

well as make Duplex

a bit more active in

the LGBT communityas a whole sponsor-ing more gay amateur

sports teams and cater-ing or hosting receptions for gay-supportive charities

But the themed nights remain essentially unchanged Interms of specials these include Monday nightrsquos half-price-

off most menu items beginning with the letter ldquoMrdquo from

mac lsquonrsquo cheese to meatloaf to margaritas to MontepulcianoTuesdayrsquos half-price burgers and $4 domestic beers and

Wine-O Wednesdayrsquos half-price-off all wines Many nightsalso bring in specific crowds mdash for example Monday nights

typically draw a slightly older more established gay setwhile Saturdays tend to attract more straight couples

Of course one night continues to reign supreme

ldquoThursdays are a mix all different agesrdquo Laczko says ldquobutitrsquos generally a younger crowd an influx of new blood com-

ing inrdquo Thursday is popular with diners but even more sowith drinkers who slowly take over the entire space after

10 pm turning it into a stand-and-model bar Hirshfieldstill marvels at how the night developed into Duplexrsquos busi-

est ldquoThursday nights became really busy on their ownrdquo hesays ldquoThat wasnrsquot a promotion that wasnrsquot anything we

kick-startedrdquo

Hirshfield cites the unplanned popularity of Thursdaynight as one example of why he thinks Duplex took root as

an institution ldquoI think itrsquos because I wasnrsquot trying to make

it anything specificrdquo he says ldquoIt was just this simple concept of a

diner-style restaurant and neighborhood bar with a friendly staffgood food and strong drinks There was no gimmick there was no

set formula that I followedrdquo Hirshfield conceived of the restaurantafter walking by the ldquovacant abandoned and forlornrdquo storefront

He sensed an opportunity to provide something he found lackingin his ethnic cuisine-rich Adams Morgan neighborhood mdash a basic

American-style diner Naturally he had no idea it would remain vital

nearly two decades later Equally itrsquos gratifying to see it thriving

without him He compares the feeling to that of a proud papa ldquoandall that corny stuffrdquoUltimately however Hirshfield who is now a property developer

for both commercial and residential projects is glad to be out of therestaurant business The only thing he misses are the many built-in

social opportunities that owning Duplex provided Lee who hasreturned to full-time work with the small gardening business he and

his partner Holger own feels the same way Owning the diner was a

bit too taxing on their time Yet both are pleased with whatrsquos shaping up as Diner 30 under

Hunker and McCracken ldquoTheyrsquove been true to their word as far askeeping a lot of the good things about the diner they have kept the

core the samerdquo Lee says Adds Hirshfield ldquoThey havenrsquot changed theconcept Theyrsquove kept the spirit of itrdquo

For his part Hunker is intrigued by prospects for Duplexrsquos sur-

rounding neighborhood ldquoWe want to be part of what I think is goingto be the renaissance of the bottom part of Adams Morgan and the

top of Dupont Circlerdquo he says citing a forthcoming new restaurantacross 18th Street as well as friendly relations with Duplexrsquos neigh-

bors ldquoYou canrsquot ask for more than just being part of the neighbor-hoodrdquo he says And this longtime neighborhood resident is still a bit

in awe of the fact that hersquos also now a neighbor in a different capacityldquoI still pinch myself that it actually happenedrdquo he says ldquoI canrsquot

believe that I own the dinerrdquo

SOON AFTER REMODELING THE DUPLEX

Diner in 2011 then-owner Kevin Lee asked

Tony Frye to design posters to put in the

lightboxes above each booth Frye a graphic

designer and a former art director for Metro

Weekly thought to make a series starring the

new chairs posed in different positions that Lee

had bought for the space ldquoI thought of the whole

story that happens at the dinerrdquo Frye says ldquoYou

I RUN MY KITCHEN LIKE I WAS TAUGHT INCharlestonrdquo Mark Mulvey says ldquoVery strictrdquo

Mulvey the head chef at Duplex Diner might havedownhome roots but hersquos anything but country cooking

Growing up in Winchester Virginia his journey to gas-

tronomy wasnrsquot exactly a straight shot ldquoI was working at thisbar in Blacksburg after high schoolrdquo he says ldquoJust working on

the line but I remember one of my bosses told me I should checkout culinary schoolrdquo The next year he was enrolled in the Le

Cordon Bleu Institute for Culinary Arts and the year after thathe was working his first externship in a high-end restaurant in

Charleston South Carolina

Holding a plate of fresh pappardelle pasta with mushroomsand broccolini steeped in a parmesan cream sauce Mulvey

beams with pride ldquoWe make our pasta in houserdquo he saysldquoUnfortunately people arenrsquot ordering this dish with beach sea-

son coming uprdquoBut the first bite of this light pasta dish will make you forget

about Rehoboth instead transporting you directly to Rome In away the pappardelle perfectly captures Mulveyrsquos style a humble

presentation with only a few ingredients that complement each

other beautifully ldquoFood should be simplerdquo he says ldquoSimple

tastes good It only needs the correct procedure and under-standing your ingredients Let the food speak for itselfrdquo

And the food at Duplex speaks volumes The Airline ChickenBreast with farro black beans and corn is a perfect example of

the bistro flair on a traditional diner dish With summer coming

around the menu has added new salads featuring fresh ingredi-ents ldquoI really like the Watermelon and Basil saladrdquo Mulvey says

ldquoItrsquos refreshing to have on a hot summer dayrdquo Of course whatwould a diner be without its traditional fare

Mulveyrsquos twist on the traditional meatloaf features a morediverse spice portfolio and includes a carrot salad ldquoWhen I

started in 2011 we had a meatloaf competitionrdquo he says ldquoWeasked our customers to vote on the better meatloaf mine or the

one that was on the menu before Mine won so now itrsquos on the

menurdquo Also make sure you swing by for Monday Happy Hours

where a basket of tater tots comes on the houseCooking for a mainstay of Adamrsquos Morgan doesnrsquot come with-

out its own set of challenges ldquoWe only have four burners back

thererdquo he says ldquoSo Irsquoll never make a dish that takes multiplesaucepansrdquo But Mulveyrsquos philosophy in the kitchen works best

when itrsquos under constraint and his passion for cooking is linked

to his desire to grow as a cookldquoI love learning new thingsrdquo he says ldquoYou might try some-

thing and it might not work but thatrsquos exciting Irsquod neverworked with broccolini before I came here and now I love

it Therersquos always a pulse of something new in a restaurant Ilove thatrdquo l

The popular campaign led to T-shirts and another

series in which the chairs portray various Queens mdash

from Dairy to Drag Since then the lightboxes have seen

a steady stream of clever and funny promotions both forthe diner itself often using gay-popular movie quotes

and for the parties hosted there The latest series dis-

lyrics from rsquo80s-era pop songs a nod to the venuersquos

popular Breakfast Club dance party

A couple of years ago Frye created a perennial poster

for Duplexrsquos ldquoTots and Tiarasrdquo New Yearrsquos Eve party in

which he crowned a tater tot with mdash what else mdash a tiara

ldquoThe first thing we discovered is that tater tots donrsquot

stand uprdquo he says of the photo shoot The problem was

solved by propping them up ldquovery carefullyrdquo with a tooth-

pick Frye also notes that it takes time to find a photgenic

tot ldquoYou can bake 100 of them and they all sort of look

like the land of the mutated tater totsrdquo l

Allergic ReactionAn edgy satire The Tale of the Allergistrsquos Wife is a showpiece

for two local actresses

ITS WRY TITLE ONLY HINTS AT THE GENUINE LAUGH-OUT-LOUD HUMOR

contained in The Tale of the Allergistrsquos Wife ( HHHHH )If yoursquore familiar with writerperformer Charles Buschrsquos previous work including

the uproarious Die Mommie Die and Psycho Beach Party then you expect the funny But Allergist is a different animal than Buschrsquos previous works chiefly because it was written

from the get-go as a play for others not Busch to star in mdash and none of them in drag

And as it begins you may sense that despite being Buschrsquos first play on Broadway andone earning him his first Tony nomination Allergist is not up to his previous campy level Itrsquosnot but itrsquos also not a thoroughly navel-gazing and whiny play about poor rich New Yorkers

from the Upper West Side full of angst and ennui about having money and access but no

meaning or purpose in life No thatrsquos just the initial setup for a play that becomes a fancifuland edgy satire about modern life love and the pursuit of personal and professional happi-

ness mdash and the boundaries mostly self-imposed that get in the wayThe focus is on Marjorie Taub whorsquos so depressed she canrsquot get off her couch when we

meet her Her husband the allergist of the title canrsquot shake her stupor or that of the playwhich doesnrsquot spring to life until we meet Marjoriersquos unsupportive and embittered mother

Frieda (perfectly realized by Barbara Rappaport) She canrsquot stop nagging or talking about her

Safe Swim

Heading to the beach thisweekend Donrsquot forget to bring

along the common sense

AS THE HAZY HOT AND HUMID WEATHER

takes hold itrsquos time for the beach with its prom-ise of cool refreshing waves and a gentle sea

breeze But as your deposits clear on that ocean-

view condo and you start shoveling towel and bathing suit into aweekender donrsquot leave behind your two other essentials beach

safety and common sense

REALLY ISNrsquoT ALL THAT SAFETY STUFF FOR PARENTS WITH KIDS

Kids are always vulnerable around water But so are adults

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) drowningis still the fifth leading cause of death for people of all ages in

the United States In a report issued last year the CDC foundthat between 1999 and 2010 more than 46000 people died from

drowning or more than 10 per day And even though drowning

rates are on the decrease for some age groups they are trend-ing up for those aged 45 to 84 Notably adults are also more

likely than others to drown in natural bodies of water such asthe ocean

BUT IrsquoM A GOOD SWIMMER

Being a competent swimmer is obviously one of the best ways to

stay safe in the surf But it can be easy to overestimate your abili-ties In fact in a recent survey the American Red Cross found

that while 80 percent of Americans said they could swim only 56percent could actually perform the basic skills necessary to save

their lives in the water If you want to be sure of your abilitiesconsider an assessment by a qualified swim instructor or sign up

health

by KATE WINGFIELD




for a set of classes before your beach break But be aware thateven a strong swimmer can drown if they donrsquot pay attention to

the dangers

DANGERS ALL I SEE IS A CALM SEA AND GENTLE BREAKERShellip

When it comes to coastal swimming what you see is not alwayswhat you get many dangers are not easily visible from the shore

Rip currents for example are one of the most deadly of under-

water hazards yet they are not always visible from the beach

I KNOW A RIPPED BEACH BODY WHEN I SEE ONE BUT WHATrsquoS A RIPPEDCURRENT

Rip currents are converging channels of water that are movingswiftly out to sea Unfortunately they form in the ldquosurf zonerdquo mdash

the band of water where most people swim They often occurnear piers jetties and around and above sandbars or other

variations in the sea floor Without experience they can be hardto spot

According to NOAArsquos National Ocean Service rip currents

can be anything from a few feet to a few yards wide and they canmove up to eight feet per second Thatrsquos faster than an Olympic

swimmer Death most often occurs because swimmers try to fightthe current as they are pulled out to sea and then they tire and

drown Indeed in 2014 the National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration found that rip currents were responsible for 79

percent of all ocean fatalities Of the twelve drownings reportedthis past May nine were attributed to rip currents

SO HOW DO I AVOID THEM AND WHAT TO DO IF I FIND MYSELF IN ONE

According to the Red Cross the best plan to avoid rip currents is

to always swim at least 100 feet away from piers jetties or otherunderwater structures When it comes to the surf in general be

alert for sandbars breaks or gaps in the waves churned up sand

or clusters of seaweed being dragged out to sea mdash these are allpotential signs of a rip current at work

If you are caught in a rip current stay calm mdash there are tech-

niques you can use to break free First and foremost donrsquot tryto swim against the current Instead swim parallel to the shore

until you are out of the current and then swim toward shoreangling away from the current

If you canrsquot swim out of the current float or tread water untilyou are carried out of the pull then swim to shore

If none of this is working for you wave an arm and yell forhelp

If you see someone trapped in a rip current hail a lifeguard or

dial 9-1-1 If you can throw the swimmer something that floatsDonrsquot swim out to help them many people drown this way

SHEESH ANYTHING ELSE

Absolutely never swim alone always swim sober and donrsquot

swim during or just after storms Be aware that the ocean floorcan be uneven and get deep quickly Bigger waves can arise

unexpectedly and knock you off your feet Avoid toy inflatablesand noodles as they can float you into deeper water and will

never be reliable in an emergency Finally remember to keephydrated and reapply your sunscreen so you donrsquot end up with

sunstroke or sunburn

WOW YOUrsquoVE REALLY RUINED MY WEEKEND

Donrsquot be silly Stick with lifeguard-protected beaches where theywill post warnings for rip currents and other issues such as high

surf and jellyfish and you will be off to a good start Then put

safety first slather yourself in common sense and yoursquore readyto frolic l




Distant Relative

Next month a NASA probe willreach Pluto finally unlocking the

mysteries of the former planet

POOR PLUTO WErsquoVE HAD SUCH A CAPRICIOUSrelationship with the former planet One minute we

love it celebrating it as the ninth celestial body inour solar system The next Wersquore casting it out pro-

claiming it a fraud relegating it to lesser ldquodwarf planetrdquo status as

we pull focus back to the original eightAdmittedly we assumed Pluto to be our solar systemrsquos ninth

largest planet for over seventy years Discovered in 1930 byastronomer Clyde Tombaugh the little rock some 47 billion

miles from Earth remained a distant mystery for decades By theend of the seventies Pluto was found to have a neighbor its larg-

est moon Charon mdash the first of five to be discovered Howeverwhile it was finally a little less lonely at the farthest reaches of

our little system Charon would be Plutorsquos downfallCharonrsquos size and relative distance from Pluto allowed

astronomers to estimate the size of the planet It wasnrsquot good

news Pluto is (relatively) tiny mdash both it and Charon could justabout fit inside the borders of America mdash a mere one-fifth of one

percent of the mass of Earth By the nineties Plutorsquos status as ourninth planet was on rocky footing Other similarly-sized bodies

had been detected out in the black of space beyond Neptunersquosorbit Itrsquos a place known as the Kuiper belt and Plutorsquos place

within it led to the ultimate fall from grace in 2006 theInternational Astronomical Union declassified Pluto as a planet

It was just too small

NASA however isnrsquot giving up on little olrsquo Pluto Insteadof leaving it to dry its tears with the other dwarf planets (yes

there are more) the space agency launched its New Horizons

tech

by RHUARIDH MARR




mission mdash which is currently en route to intercept Pluto nextmonth After two previously cancelled missions New Horizons

left Earth in 2006 The 1000 pound craft is currently hurtling

through space at 31300 miles per hour thanks to a helping handfrom Jupiter mdash New Horizons used the giant planetrsquos gravity to

slingshot it faster towards PlutoThe craft itself is jammed with the latest space exploration

tech (for 2006 anyway) There are seven instruments in totalthree optical two plasma a dust sensor (because space is a vac-

uum No Okayhellip) and a radio receiver Combined they will beused to inspect and probe Pluto when New Horizons eventually

reaches it The craft will spend 150 days total observing Pluto

getting as close as 6000 miles from its center of massNew Horizons will photograph Plutorsquos surface in a variety of

ways LORRI or the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager is themain camera on board utilizing a one megapixel sensor with

a giant 8-inch aperture designed to provide high-resolutionresponsive images The total unit weighs over thirty pounds but

it should pay dividends when it starts returning images of Plutorsquos

surface It will take hundreds of photos of the surface of Plutoand its moons letting scientists effectively map them for the first

time Indeed until New Horizons astronomers have relied onthe Old Faithful of the space community the Hubble Telescope

mdash last month New Horizons finally returned clearer images ofPluto than Hubble can provide though it was still millions of

miles away at the timeNASA has recently released the first major images of Pluto

from the mission Resembling something out of an ancient

arcade machine an orange-grey lump of pixels sits in the black-ness of space as a smaller brown-grey pixel blob circles it Itrsquos

Pluto with its moon Charon seen for the first time in color For

eighty years Pluto has remained a black-and-white mystery tous but thanks to New Horizonsrsquo Multispectral Visible Imaging

Camera wersquore achingly close to seeing the dwarf planet in its

full gloryBlack and white images captured by LORRI have revealed

further details including an incredible variety in terrain andthe presence of a ldquodark polerdquo on Charon mdash an anti-polar cap as

NASA is calling it currently Itrsquos a world of unknowns as NewHorizons continues to race towards the planet teasing scientists

with ever-clearer glimpses of its surfaceldquoAfter traveling more than nine years through space itrsquos

stunning to see Pluto literally a dot of light as seen from Earth

becoming a real place right before our eyesrdquo said Alan SternNew Horizonsrsquo principal investigator ldquoThese incredible images

are the first in which we can begin to see detail on Pluto andthey are already showing us that Pluto has a complex surfacerdquo

New Horizons isnrsquot just unravelling the enigma that is Plutoitrsquos also a crowning achievement in the technological capabilities

of NASA and the United States After the Cold War space race

which culminated in the moon landing America has led theworld in space exploration Of the seven other planets in our

solar system NASA probes have been the first to reach themWith Pluto soon to be added to NASArsquos trophy cabinet the

United States will have successfully completed the initial recon-naissance of our solar system

Itrsquos an astounding testament to the progress of science andtechnology that Pluto mdash a ldquodot of lightrdquo suspended in darkness

at the furthest extremes of our solar system which we once

heralded as the ninth body in our string of magnificent planets mdashwill soon become just another achievement in mankindrsquos quest

to explore the stars l
