A pool that caters to canine customers

At this aquatic center, dogs swim for exercise, fun and rehabilitation
PATRICK MARTIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
POTOMAC, MD. An unusual aquatic center inside a suburban Maryland strip mall has five narrow pools and several swimmers of varying abilities, but only one stroke: the dog paddle. It’s the K9 Aquatic Center, wedged near a wine bar and a nail salon in posh Potomac, and it now has some 900 dog clients regularly booked for 30- or 45-minute sessions of fun, exercise or help with injury recovery. The concept of dog aquatic centers has taken off in recent years as pet owners treat dogs more as family and veterinarians increasingly undergo training for canine rehabilitation, the dog equivalent of physical therapy. “It’s a relatively new field in veterinary medicine, but it’s one of the fastest-growing areas,” said Jonathan Block, the veterinary medical director at Water4Dogs in New York City. Dominique Darcis, the owner of K9 Aquatic Center, said about

half of its clients come for health reasons, and about half for recreation — including several energetic puppies whose owners, like the parents of toddlers, hope to tire out their pets. On a recent afternoon, the swimmers included 2-year-old Daphne, a blind Belgian Malinois whose owner wanted to build her confidence and maybe have her start competing in dock diving. A few pools down paddled Molly, an arthritic 12-year-old, and her lively 2-year-old sister,
Phoebe, who swim in the Chesapeake Bay in summers and needed a place to keep up their water skills. Nick, a handsome 7-month-old German shepherd who is training to become a service dog for a veteran, had just finished his second-ever swim. After Nick’s swim session, his caretaker, Robin Swope of Damascus, Md., said he did great. “He’s a young, active dog, and he needs a lot of exercise. And I’m old,” she said.

THE DISTRICT Mayor Muriel Bowser said she will refuse to testify under oath to the D.C. Council about the circumstances of her former school chancellor’s resignation, setting up a showdown with lawmakers — the outcome of which could weigh on her re-election campaign. Bowser told the editorial board of The Washington Post that she would decline to appear before the D.C. Council’s education committee, saying it would be a “political circus.” She said she would instead cooperate with a parallel investigation by the D.C. inspector general’s office that is underway. D.C. Council member and education committee chairman David Grosso, I-At Large, on Monday called for an “emergency” public hearing on the events that led to the resignation of former D.C. Public Schools Chancellor Antwan Wilson. Bowser demanded the resignations of both Wilson and former Deputy Mayor for Education Jennifer Niles in mid-February, saying she had just been alerted by the inspector general’s office that the pair had transferred Wilson’s daughter to one of the city’s most desirable high schools — skipping a waiting list of more than 600 students — in violation

of city policy. But Wilson told The Post this week that Bowser knew about the transfer four months ago and raised no objections. Grosso initially said that he would call the mayor, Wilson and Niles to testify under oath before the education committee to “get to the bottom” of who knew what. He said Tuesday that only a “public conversation, under oath, in front of the whole council and the public” about what had happened would be acceptable. “I’m not going to accept anything done in private,” he said. However, on Wednesday, Grosso appeared to be backtracking, saying he preferred a
public hearing but might settle for some alternative. “Maybe there’s a way out where we don’t have to do it in front of the full council,” he said. Grosso said Wilson had told his committee’s staff that he would be willing to testify, but that he had not heard back from Bowser or Niles. He said he did not “begrudge” the mayor her refusal to cooperate. Wilson resigned on Feb. 20, a little over a year after he left his previous position as superintendent of the Oakland Unified School District and took the helm of the public school system in the nation’s capital.

D.C.’s investments in bikesharing, bike lanes and a wider trail system are paying off. Not only does the nation’s capital have the second-highest share of bike commuters among major U.S. cities, it now holds gold status as one of the most bike-friendly cities in the country. D.C. joins a group of communities that have embraced biking and earned “Gold” Bicycle Friendly Community status. It is the only major city on the East Coast to receive the designation, awarded through a rigorous application and vetting process by the League of American Bicyclists. “This award is a testament to how far the District has come,” Mayor Muriel Bowser said Monday. More than 400 communities are recognized with the bike-friendly community award, but only 30 have earned gold. (TWP)

Voters overall want Democrats to control Congress after the election, 51 percent to 38 percent, the poll found. (TWP)

Bill would track pet meds to fight human addiction Virginia could soon start monitoring prescription drugs for pets as it battles the human opioid scourge. The Richmond TimesDispatch reported Tuesday that lawmakers want to expand the state’s prescription-monitoring system to include certain animal medications. The system already helps identify human patients who visit multiple doctors in search of painkillers. State legislation would make it easier to track pet owners who frequently seek drugs for animals that also have a high potential for human abuse. The measure passed both chambers and is headed to the governor’s desk. (AP) PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA.

THE DISTRICT A stinging internal investigation finds “failed leadership at multiple levels” at the Veterans Administration during the Obama administration that put patients at a major hospital at risk. It’s another blow to current Secretary David Shulkin, who also served at the agency then and is now fighting to keep his job.

Patients were put at risk at D.C. medical center, watchdog report says
Veterans Administration Secretary David Shulkin said problems in the department were “systemic.”
Trump, acknowledged to reporters that the problems were “systemic,” but said he had not been aware of the issues at the Washington hospital. He pledged widescale change across the VA. The latest IG investigation found poor accounting procedures leading to taxpayer waste,
citing at least $92 million in overpriced medical supplies, along with a threat of data breaches as reams of patients’ sensitive health information sat in 1,300 unsecured boxes. No patient died as a result of the patient safety issues at the Washington facility dating back to at least 2013, which resulted in costly hospitalizations, “prolonged or unnecessary anesthesia” while medical staff scrambled to find equipment at the last minute, and delays and cancellations of medical procedures, the report said. The report also noted improvements made at the Washington facility since the IG’s first report in April, when Shulkin replaced the medical center’s director and pledged broader improvements.

IMMIGRATION Attorney General Jeff Sessions excoriated California and some of its leaders Wednesday for passing laws and taking actions that he said obstruct immigration enforcement and endanger officers. In a strident speech that emphasized the supremacy of the federal government by referencing Abraham Lincoln and secession, Sessions said California’s actions “directly and adversely impact the work of our federal officers” and “undermine the duly established immigration law in America.”
AN EXTRA POP
He took particular aim at Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, D, for warning constituents last month about an impending raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. He said he plans to use the full might of the federal government to bring her state in line. “California, absolutely, appears to me, is using every power it has — powers it doesn’t have — to frustrate federal law enforcement,” Sessions said. “So you can be sure I’m going to use every power I have to stop them.” The comments at the California Peace Officers Association’s annual gathering in Sacramento came a day after the Justice Department sued California, alleging that three recently passed laws that benefit undocumented

on sanctuary jurisdictions, and it drew swift criticism from state leaders, who insisted that their laws would pass legal muster. In fiery remarks after Sessions’ speech, Gov. Jerry Brown, D, said, “The Trump administration is full of liars,” and called on Sessions to apologize for “bringing the mendacity of Washington to California.” Brown called the Justice Department’s lawsuit a “political stunt,” and noted the irony of Sessions, who is from Alabama, talking about secession. He suggested that the attorney general might be trying to get back into the good graces of President Trump, who has publicly voiced displeasure about him. MATT ZAPOTOSKY AND

CULTURE How many times have you taken a selfie, only to hate how you looked in it? Some people are resorting to expensive surgery in hopes of snapping better pictures, according to a recent survey by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. But a new study suggests the issue may lie with selfies themselves — specifically, the image distortion created by how smartphone cameras are held. Selfies don’t work like mirrors. They’re completely distorted — especially when it comes to the nose, according to new research published in the medical journal JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery. The researchers looked specifically at selfies taken from the common distance of 12 inches (top photo) — from which men’s noses appear 30 percent wider and women’s noses 29 percent wider than they actually are. A photo at the standard portrait distance of 5 feet (bottom photo) has no discernible distortion. Boris Paskhover, a facial plastics and reconstructive surgeon at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and the study’s lead author, hopes this will give people pause when considering a nose job. “I want them to realize that when they take a selfie, they are in essence looking into a portable fun-house mirror,” Paskhover said.

West Wing ‘death spiral’ Wave of White House staff departures under Trump sparks fears of larger exodus Stormy Daniels is suing Trump over hush deal
he can count on, according to two people familiar with his thinking. A number of other aides have expressed worry about the legal implications — and steep bills — they could face if ensnared in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe. It has had a chilling effect on an already sluggish hiring process, according to officials, and there is wide concern that working for Trump could negatively affect career prospects. Meanwhile, hopes for significant governing achievements in the coming years, along the lines of the tax cuts passed in December, are growing fleeting, as Republicans face a daunting electoral environment this fall. Michael Steel — a former aide to onetime Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., and ex-House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio — said: “Most of all, President Trump hasn’t demonstrated a scrap of loyalty to current and former staff, and everyone knows it.”
COURTS An adult film actress who has said she had sex with President Trump filed a lawsuit seeking to invalidate a nondisclosure agreement and “set the record straight,” her lawyer said Wednesday. Stormy Daniels (real name Stephanie Clifford) filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court Tuesday, alleging the agreement she signed days before the 2016 presidential election, which prevented her from discussing the alleged encounters, is “null and void” because Trump didn’t sign it. Her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, said on morning news shows Wednesday that she wasn’t looking to profit from her story, but told CBS: “I don’t know whether she’s going to ultimately seek payment or not.” Avenatti said Clifford’s previous denial of the affair was to meet the terms of the agreement. Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen has denied there was ever an affair. Cohen has said he paid the porn actress $130,000 out of his own pocket as part of the agreement. The suit claims the Oct. 28, 2016 “hush agreement” is only signed by Clifford and Cohen. Clifford alleges that Cohen has recently tried to initiate an arbitration proceeding against her. Cohen did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday and Wednesday. MICHAEL BALSAMO

Despite many departures, President Trump said Tuesday, “Everyone wants to work in the White House.”
SUSAN WALSH (AP)
POLITICS President Trump once presided over a reality show in which a key cast member exited each week. The same thing seems to be happening in his White House. Trump’s West Wing has descended into a period of unparalleled tumult amid a wave of staff departures, yet the president insists it’s a place of “no Chaos, only great Energy!” The latest to announce his exit is Gary Cohn, Trump’s chief economic adviser, who had clashed with the boss over trade policy. Cohn’s departure has sparked internal fears of an even larger exodus, raising concerns in Washington of a coming “brain drain” around the president that will only make it more difficult for Trump to advance his already languishing policy agenda. Multiple White House officials said the president has been pushing anxious aides to stay on the job. “Everyone wants to work in the White House,” Trump said Tuesday. “They all want a piece of the Oval Office.” The reality is far different. Vacancies abound in the West Wing and the broader Trump administration, with some jobs never filled and others subject to repeat openings. The position of White House communications director is soon to be empty again after the departure of its fourth occupant, Hope Hicks. “They are left with vacancies atop of vacancies,” said Kathryn Dunn-Tenpas of the Brookings Institution, who tracks seniorlevel staff turnover. Her analysis shows the Trump departure rate has reached 40 percent in just over a year. “That kind of turnover creates a lot of disruption,” she said, noting the loss of institutional
knowledge and relationships with agencies and Congress. “You can’t really leave those behind to your successor.” Turnover after a year in office is nothing new, but this administration has churned through staff at a dizzying pace, and allies are worried the situation could descend into a free-fall. One White House official said there is concern about a potential “death spiral” in the West Wing, with each departure heightening the sense of frenzy and expediting the next. Multiple aides who are considering departing, all speaking anonymously, said they didn’t have a clue about whom the administration could find to fill their roles. They said their desire to be team players has kept them on the job longer than planned. Some said they were nearing a breaking point. Since his days on the campaign, Trump has frequently and loudly complained about the

Hiring issues The overlap between those qualified to work in the White House and those willing to take a job there has been shrinking, according to White House officials and outside Trump allies concerned about the slow pace of hires. The administration has been understaffed from the onset, in part due to the president’s refusal to consider hiring even the most qualified Republicans if they opposed him during the campaign, according to an official. “You have situations where people are stretched to take on more than one job,” said Martha Joynt Kumar, director of the White House Transition Project.

Tariff exemptions now on the table
orld Through W e h t l Wi e v a ne r T
POLITICS The White House said Wednesday that Mexico, Canada and other countries may be spared from President Trump’s planned steel and aluminum tariffs under national security “carve-outs,” a move that could soften the blow amid threats of retaliation by trading partners and dire economic warnings from lawmakers and business groups. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters the exemptions would be made on a “case by case” and “country by country” basis, a reversal from the policy articulated by the White House just days ago that there would be no exemptions from Trump’s plan. The announcement came as congressional Republicans and business groups braced for the impact of expected tariffs of 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent on aluminum. The looming departure of White House economic adviser Gary Cohn, a former Goldman Sachs executive who has opposed the promised tariffs, set off anxiety among business leaders and investors worried about a potential trade war.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Wednesday that tariff exemptions would be on a “case by case” basis.
“We urge you to reconsider the idea of broad tariffs to avoid unintended negative consequences to the U.S. economy and its workers,” 107 House Republicans wrote in a letter to Trump. The White House said Trump was expected to make a final announcement as early as Thursday and officials were working to include language in the tariffs that would give Trump the flexibility to approve exemptions for certain countries. In addition, Trump tweeted Wednesday that the “U.S. is acting swiftly on Intellectual Property theft.” A White House official said Trump was referencing an ongoing investigation into whether Chinese intellectual property rules discriminate against U.S. business.

A Lebanese-American businessman who has acted as an adviser to the United Arab Emirates has been cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller after being hit with a subpoena in mid-January, according to people familiar with the matter. George Nader was served with a grand jury subpoena shortly after landing at Dulles airport. Investigators are interested in Nader’s role at a January 2017 meeting between Erik Prince, a supporter of President Trump, and a Russian official close to President Vladimir Putin, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

A Russian ex-spy and his daughter, now fighting for their lives in a hospital, were attacked with a nerve agent in a targeted murder attempt, British police said Wednesday. The case has further strained relations between Russia and Britain, which has said it will respond strongly if the Russian government is linked to the attack. Sergei Skripal, 66, and his 33-year-old daughter Yulia were found unconscious on a bench Sunday, triggering a police investigation. The choice of a nerve agent in the latest case follows the use of the banned nerve agent VX to kill the estranged half brother of North Korea’s leader last year. (AP)

If Cousins holds true to his long-running mantra that money isn’t everything, and the potential to win a Super Bowl is of equal importance, then Minnesota is far and away his best choice. The Vikings ranked first in total defense in the regular season, allowing 275.9 yards per game. They have a talented, young receiver tandem in Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. They lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Eagles in the NFC title game. Saying Denver is just a quarterback away from contention is a bit overstated. New York isn’t even close. Arizona will be breaking in first-time head coach Steve Wilks. Cousins plans to tour teams just like a college recruit, but he’ll find that, in the frenzy of free agency, teams won’t be

Kirk Cousins is finally free — to make a mistake if he’s thinking of signing with any team other than the Vikings as a free agent. Tuesday’s tag deadline passed without the Redskins franchising the quarterback for a the third straight year, so Cousins will become the NFL’s biggest attraction when free agency begins March 14. After three straight seasons of 4,000 yards passing, Cousins was too pricey for Washington to retain. Cousins will reportedly seek $90 million guaranteed over the next three years alone. A record bidding war is coming for a player who isn’t even a top-five quarterback. Cousins already earned $44 million over the past two years by betting on himself, and he’s about to receive a lottery-like payout. Minnesota, Denver, Arizona and the New York Jets are expected to make offers. The Browns — who have an NFL-high $114 million in cap

patient. At most, Cousins will make two stops, probably Minnesota and New York. The only way Denver attracts Cousins is if general manager John Elway hypnotizes him with his own star power as a two-time Super Bowl winner. Minnesota makes perfect sense. The Vikings let all three of their QBs from last year hit the market. Strangely, they decided against re-signing Case Keenum, who went 12-4 as a starter last season. New York has the lure of a huge market. If Cousins could turn around a team that went 5-11 in each of the past two
seasons and has played second fiddle to the Giants for a generation, then Joe Namath might finally have a worthy successor off Broadway a mere 50 years after Namath won a Super Bowl. That whole fantasy may be very alluring to Cousins. A quarterback in his prime is a unicorn in the free agent market, and he’ll command a historic sum. If Cousins is telling the truth about his priorities, he should pick the best contender — and that’s Minnesota.
Coach Scott Brooks said Wall “looked good” in his first shooting drill Tuesday and, as long as he feels no ill effects, will soon play in live sessions with Wizards staffers.
2 Playing with the team Brooks said Wall would progress from the staff sessions to playing fiveon-zero with teammates, running through sets without facing defenders.
1 Full practice Brooks said he didn’t know when Wall can rejoin practice, “but it’s gearing toward that direction.” Wall won’t appear in back-to-back games when he returns, the coach said.

At 44, Ichiro is returning to Mariners
Since Jan. 1, Braden Holtby has a record of 7-7-4 with an .888 save percentage and a 3.75 goals against average.
With Holtby struggling, Caps consider Grubauer Trotz says team could start backup ‘for a bit’ while No. 1 gets right NHL While Philipp Grubauer took his place in Washington’s net Tuesday night, Braden Holtby was folded over in the tunnel leading to the visitor’s locker room in Anaheim, Calif. His forearms were pressed into his goaltending pads, and he held that position while the Capitals played on without him. He took his time taking a seat on the bench, cooling off just as his team’s goaltending dilemma reached its boiling point. Holtby allowed three goals on the first nine shots in a 4-0 loss to the Ducks. He was replaced by Grubauer less than six minutes into the second period — the third time he’s been taken out early in his past six starts and the fourth time in the past month. As Washington clings to its slim Metropolitan Division lead, coach Barry Trotz is considering
starting Grubauer more often while Holtby figures out how to fix his struggles. “He hasn’t had a real good stretch,” Trotz said of Holtby. “He’s going to work with our goaltending coaches and get his game in order. He’s won a lot of games for us. He’s an elite goaltender in this league. “Everybody goes through some dry spells and he’s having one right now really.” When asked if he would stick with Holtby as the No. 1 goaltender, Trotz said yes, but that doesn’t preclude him from a break. “Because he’s No. 1 doesn’t mean you don’t go with Grubi for a bit just so [Holtby] can settle his game,” Trotz said. “We’ll sit down with [goaltending coach Scott Murray] just to see what the best thing for the long haul is.” Holtby, 28, played a leagueleading 73 games in 2014-15, Trotz’s first season. Holtby won the Vezina Trophy the next year as the NHL’s top netminder after his 48-win campaign tied
Reliever Tyler Clippard, 33, agrees to minor league deal with Blue Jays
Martin Brodeur’s single-season record. Holtby was a finalist for the award again last year, when he finished with a .925 save percentage and a 2.07 goals against average. But while his season started well, with 22 wins through his first 30 appearances, his play has fallen off on a team that’s allowing its most shots on goal under Trotz. Since the start of the calendar year, Holtby is 7-7-4 with an .888 save percentage and a 3.75 goals against average. In February, he lost six straight starts, a career-worst stretch. Grubauer has been playing behind an identical roster with better success: a .937 save percentage and a 1.97 goals against average since Jan. 1. “I feel for [Holtby],” defenseman Matt Niskanen said. “He’s trying like heck. For the most part, he’s playing pretty well. … I think he can play better, but we haven’t given him a fair shake in front of him.” ISABELLE KHURSHUDYAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Seattle is bringing back Ichiro Suzuki. The Mariners finalized a $750,000, one-year deal with the 44-year-old Wednesday after several outfielders got hurt. He can earn an additional $1.25 million in performance bonuses. Ichiro, a native of Japan who began his career there, spent his first 11 MLB seasons with the Mariners, earning 2001 AL Rookie of the Year and MVP, winning two batting titles and becoming a 10-time All-Star. In 2004, he set the all-time record for hits in a season (262). He was traded to the Yankees midway through 2012, played parts of three seasons with New York and spent three seasons with Miami. Ichiro, who has a .312 career average with 3,080 hits, appeared in 136 games last season and hit .255. (AP)

up front Quarry House bounces back BARS Almost three years after a fire closed the beloved Quarry House Tavern in Silver Spring, the 1930s-era dive bar is expected to reopen to the public on Sunday. After a careful restoration, it looks just like regulars will remember — if slightly cleaner. Vintage prints, beer-logo mirrors and retro sconces hang atop knotty pine paneling on the walls. Taller guests will have to duck to get past pipes
and beams overhead. The lowceilinged back dining room has been painted the proper shade of “Rust-Oleum red.” The staff filled the vintage jukebox with Tom Waits, Johnny Cash and Elvis Costello CDs. “The bartop’s made of the same material,” owner Jackie Greenbaum says. “I’d be surprised if anyone who didn’t work here can tell the difference.” Quarry House (8401 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring) closed immediately after the March 2015

with 4 feet of water, which sat there for four days before it was pumped out. The wooden bar and walls were “warped and mildewy,” Greenbaum says. “There was no way to dry it out and restore it.” Greenbaum privately wondered whether the bar could ever reopen. But the staff, unwilling to give up, traced the outline of the bar’s exact position onto the cement floor with spray paint, so they’d know where it should be placed just in case the Quarry House Tavern would live to see another day. Closing the bar for good was never really an option, Greenbaum says, because they all love the bar so much and felt “a sense of duty” to restore it to its former glory.

After 30 years as a writer-director, Aaron Posner is tackling something he’s been avoiding for his 19th production at Folger Theatre: Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale” (201 E. Capitol St. SE; Tue. through April 22, $25-$79). Posner has made a career out of finding new ways to tell old stories, but “Winter’s Tale” had always intimidated him. “A world that’s simultaneously full of spirit and ghosts and magic and music and insane jealousy and endless resourcefulness and comedy: It’s a big tent,” Posner, 54, says of the play. “Not only was I not old enough and mature enough, I wasn’t good enough to do it before.” True to form, Posner has livened up the classic text with music: Almost all of the actors play instruments during the show. Until “Winter’s Tale” rehearsals are over, he’s dreaming up the perfect “Dada-daughter date” with his 6-year-old, Maisie. One of the most amazing things in D.C. is that you have three major theaters doing interesting and engaging work for young people: Imagination Stage, the Kennedy Center and Adventure Theater. So I’m going to a children’s theater and watching a good play, with my daughter, and watching her love it — that’s a morning thing.
My daughter has allergies, so really good sorbets are key. Dolcezza over by Studio Theatre for some honeycardamom-lavender weird-ass sorbet definitely makes her day. That’s her joy. And they’re always changing their flavors. Then the museums are great. She loves [playing at] the
If I’m going to put in one thing where I’m not with my daughter, I’ll take a couple hours out to write in a coffee shop, especially the coffee shops on Capitol Hill, like Port City Java, where I can sit and write and put in my earphones — but not actually put on music — and listen to conversations. I was upstairs at the Starbucks at Third and Pennsylvania the other day and there was a congressman with two of his staff, and they were going over stuff that I was surprised they were talking about in public. For pure entertainment value, I like overhearing little snippets of conversation, those little moments where you’re like, “What is the whole story of that?” We have a couple of favorite restaurants, like Kin Da in Takoma Park, Md., which is a little Asian place. [We get] a lot of tofu with broccoli and peanuts. We’re pretty healthy: It’s a lot of vegetables and a lot of tofu; my wife [actress Erin Weaver] is a vegetarian. We did not eat healthy before my daughter was born, at all. But because my daughter has sensitivities to gluten, dairy and nuts, we had to learn to cook, which we never did before. It’s had a big impact on me. On a special night, we go to that fabulous iPic theater in North Bethesda, where you can get a drink at your seat and all the popcorn you could want and sit in your comfortable reclining chairs. If this perfect day could come in June, then we’ll go to see “Incredibles 2.” To end the day with “Incredibles 2” at the iPic would be awesome. (AS TOLD TO LORI MCCUE)

BIG APPLE CIRCUS
The Wallendas’ seven-person pyramid is a highlight of the Big Apple Circus.
Embraceable you
Shows geared for kids with special needs let everyone in on the fun ETC... When the big top goes up, you know what to expect: high-wire artists and jugglers and clowns, all played in by a band as lights spin and the crowd roars. The Big Apple Circus, which arrives at National Harbor on Thursday for 3½ weeks of performances, has all of that. But that doesn’t work for everyone. “If you’re blind, you can’t come to a general show because you’re not going to get anything out of it,” says Lisa Lewis, a former
clown who’s now the director of community programs for the New York-based circus. “Circus is one unifying art form that can reach every human person. It’s a uniting force of entertainment, [and] it has to be accessible for everyone.” In addition to its regular shows, Big Apple Circus offers two modified performances aimed at reaching people with special needs. For 37 years, its Circus of the Senses has provided descriptions in Braille, live narrators to describe the action onstage through headsets, and American Sign Language interpreters dispersed throughout the audience. The audience can even

Big Apple Circus casts a wide net
When Jenny Vidbel was hired seven years ago as the animal trainer for Big Apple Circus, Frankie came with her. The 350-pound American miniature horse, named after Frank Sinatra, has been with Vidbel all of his 17 years. He may be small, but he’s no pushover — Vidbel says he bosses around horses that outweigh him by more than 1,000 pounds. So when Frankie was offered a spot in Circus of the Senses, Vidbel was hesitant. “I was expecting him to be too antsy,” she says. “So I said, ‘We’ll try it for five minutes with a small group of children and see what happens. He just totally relaxed and took it all in.” The semi-retired Frankie appears in the opening number and for pre-show pictures, but his primary job at Circus of the Senses is giving audience members an up-close and personal cuddle session. “He walks into the ring and it’s almost like he’s showing off, like, ‘Yep, here I am,’ ” Vidbel says. “And then the kids come up and start petting him. He soaks it all in. I think he feels like, ‘Now I am treated like the star that I am.’ ” K.P.K.

get close to the performers with pre- and post-show “touch tours.” “[Tightrope walker] Nik Wallenda brings out a low wire,”
Lewis says. “You should see these blind kids with their canes walking the wire. His wife Erendira brings on a lyra [a hoop used in aerial performances] and holds kids and pushes them” like they’re on a swing. Since 2013, Big Apple Circus has also offered autism-friendly shows. The band plays without amplification, the house lights stay on and each child is given a “manipulative,” a tool used by many people with autism to calm themselves in stressful situations. There are also calming areas and certified autism therapists; in advance of each show, families receive a “social story” that explains what happens at the circus. “Many people on the spectrum don’t like having their routine changed,” Lewis says. “This way, families can go over what’s going to happen and give their kids an idea of what to expect.” For these shows, audience
participation is kept to a minimum, Lewis adds. “I’ve learned that it scares children on the autism spectrum to think that they might get called [to the stage],” she says. While Circus of the Senses and the autism-friendly shows were intended for children, they also reach parents in a special way. “They never get this experience, to be able to bring their children to what’s considered almost a rite of parenting,” Lewis says. “The mission of circus is entertainment for everybody, and we try to be as inclusive as possible.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

A mom and mom operation Laura Benanti has performed in Broadway productions of “The Sound of Music” and “Gypsy,” starred in TV series “Nashville” and “Supergirl,” and parodied Melania Trump on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” She’ll return to her longestrunning role — daughter — when she performs Friday at the Kennedy Center with her mother, Linda Benanti, as part of the venue’s Renee Fleming VOICES series. Linda herself has appeared on and off Broadway in shows such as “Brigadoon,” but she stepped away from her career in the 1980s to be a hands-on mom and has spent the past 35 years as a voice teacher in New Jersey. The mother-daughter duo let us in on what it’s like to perform together and why they think live music is so important. BETH LUBERECKI (FOR EXPRESS)
What’s it like being onstage together? Linda Benanti: This whole experience performing with Laura is an unexpected gift. It was not on my radar. You don’t walk away from something with a plan of “35 years later I’ll go back.” To get to sit on the stage with her and watch her is such a thrill for me. And when we sing together it’s actually very familiar, because we always did sing together. Laura: I feel like I’m the one receiving the gift. I was acutely aware of what my mom had sacrificed to give my sister and me the childhood we had. Getting to see her come back to who she fully is and to share her gift with people feels really important to me, and it feels really healing in a way. She gave me this wonderful life that I have, and now I’m able to return a little bit of that favor, which is really meaningful to me. Laura, you’re a mom now yourself. Does that give you any new perspective on your mom? Laura: My daughter turned a year on Valentine’s Day. I feel like I am a better mom when I am able to express myself artistically, and I really marvel at the patience and love with which my mom raised us despite really subjugating her craft and her art, something she loved to do. So I have an even deeper appreciation for the sacrifice she made, because I know how much happier I am in my motherhood when I’m able to express myself creatively. What can the audience expect from your show? Laura: Hard-core rap. A lot of hip-hop. No, songs from shows I’ve done. I also sing some Tori Amos, some Joni Mitchell.
“This whole experience performing with Laura is an unexpected gift.” LINDA BENANTI, on singing alongside her daughter 35 years after she stepped away from the stage to focus on being a mom
Linda: I sing some things I’ve always wanted to do, especially one song that in my ingenue days I didn’t get to do. So it’s a real joy to get out there and do that. And I had never thought to do cabaret back in the day when I was performing. It kind of intimidated me, but now I think this is like the best venue ever. You get to choose what you want to sing; you get to choose what key it’s in. The Renee Fleming VOICES concert series celebrates the power of the human voice. Why do you think it’s important for audiences to be exposed to different voices in the arts? Laura: So much of what we hear on the radio now is homogenized, to where every artist you hear on a pop station has been AutoTuned. For me, hearing a live artist in whatever genre sing with just the aid of a microphone is bringing us back in a way to, like, our humanity. As we become more and more of an online culture, the live arts are going to keep us in touch with our souls and with what unifies us. Laura, since you’ll be in D.C., is there any chance “Melania” will make an appearance at your show? Laura: No, I leave her out of it. To me, it’s a very specific thing I do, and I’m so grateful for what it’s brought in terms of people understanding that I’m a comedic actor. But I don’t want it to become the thing I’m known for. I don’t want it to become the first line of my obituary.

MUSIC Folk supergroup I’m With Her became a band in a backward sort of way. Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O’Donovan and Sara Watkins first came together in 2014 for an off-the-cuff performance at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado. “It was the first time the three of us had sat down together to even mildly work up anything and it was a little happy awareness, ‘Oh, this is cool, this is special, this sounds great,’ ” Watkins says of their set, which mostly featured covers. “Throughout that day we found ourselves singing together a few more times and after that day we texted each other — it kinda felt like a first date sorta thing, where you check back in: ‘That was fun, right? We should do that again.’ ” The next logical step would be to start writing songs, right?
Instead, the three, who all knew one another casually before that first performance, went on a European tour in early 2015 and played a bunch of festivals doing covers of songs from Nina Simone, Jim Croce and more. (The trio’s name, by the way, predates Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.) It wasn’t until that summer that they began writing original songs. And it would take until last month for them to release their debut album, “See You Around.” “What has been really great to learn is not only do we enjoy singing together, but we enjoy working together and arranging together,” Watkins says. “And then to realize after doing a bunch of touring that we like to write together — that was the ring-on-the-finger kinda moment.” The songs for the album, mostly written during a week-long stint in a Vermont farmhouse, came quickly, Watkins says, because of all the time they had spent arranging covers together.
“It kinda felt like a first date sorta thing, where you check back in: ‘That was fun, right? We should do that again.’ ” SARA WATKINS, recalling the first time I’m With Her played together
“We found a rhythm and found a way to work quickly and densely,” she says. “We’re putting it together all at once, so at the end of writing a song, it feels pretty intact.” “See You Around” is a hypnotic, soothing blend of three voices and multiple instruments, pulling from the women’s various jazz, bluegrass and folk backgrounds. (Producer Ethan Johns is the only other musician on the record.) All three play guitar, with Jarosz adding mandolin, O’Donovan laying down
keyboard work and Watkins playing fiddle. At times, their voices seem to blur into one. “We all have really different voices but even we sometimes, when we’ve been listening back to voice memo arrangements, we thought, ‘Wait, are you singing that part or am I?,’ ” Watkins says. “A lot of times the harmony parts sort of switch and weave around so the person who is singing the high harmony part might be taking lead or lower parts later on in the song, so we can lose track of what’s happening.” Maybe that’s the secret to their success. Despite all three having healthy solo careers or bands (O’Donovan’s Crooked Still and Watkins’ Nickel Creek), I’m With Her has its own distinct sound. “We’re not coming from identical backgrounds, so it keeps it really interesting for all of us,” Watkins says. “We all have our own special way of seeing things.” RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

WELCOME TO THE 26TH ENVIRONMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL! This has been a year of incredible activism. From Amsterdam to Antarctica, Kansas to Kenya, people are marching, making their voices heard, and putting themselves in harm’s way to protect our planet and all that lives upon it. And talented filmmakers are telling their stories, inspiring our timely theme, ‘Stories from the Frontlines.’ Welcome to the 26th Environmental Film Festival in the SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION Nation’s Capital! Our lineup of films and speakers is stronger than ever. We kick off with a big opening night film, The Last Animals, which gets us up close with rangers as they wage a dangerous war on poachers who are driving some of the planet’s most iconic animals – rhinos and elephants – to the brink of extinction. The closing night takes us on an investigative journey with elite Special Forces trainer James Wilks as he busts the myth of meat as a staple protein in the human diet in The Game Changers. Be sure to stay for receptions after both events and meet the filmmakers. In between are 120 more films sure to fire your interest and inspire you to get involved. Anote’s Ark documents the journey of Kiribati President Anote Tong to help his countrymen as their homeland is literally snatched away by rising seas. Point of No Return takes wing in a solar-powered plane as two pilots attempt to be the first to circumnavigate the globe. Photographer Neil Rettig tracks down a rare Bird of Prey, the Philippine Eagle – one of only 800 remaining. Most screenings are followed by our signature audience Q&A with the filmmaker and content experts. Our 2018 Environmental Champion Dr. Sylvia Earle, an ocean scientist, explorer, and advocate extraordinaire joins us with a slate of short ocean films from around the world. We’re also featuring a slate of VR (virtual reality) experiences that will take you diving on amazing coral reefs and trekking in the boots of rangers. And we’re adding in lots of encore screenings of our films, including Encore Sunday, March 25th. For the latest updated info, be sure to check our website: dceff.org.

ADAPTATION BANGLADESH: SEA LEVEL RISE (USA, 2017, 12 min.) The “new normal” of global climate change is, generally, a harrowing reality to contemplate. Cultural anthropologist Alizé Carrére helps us see, however, that it does not need to be a reality devoid of hope.

Built under the visionary leadership of musician/activist and Hudson River resident Pete Seeger, the Clearwater continues to fulfill the original mission he envisioned, to help educate and share the plight of our local Hudson River environment as it luffs its sails and roams America’s First River. DC PREMIERE
CITY ON THE WATER NOBODY LOVES ME (USA, 2017, 12 min.) High in Lake Titicaca in the Andes Mountains, a large and homely frog once thrived, a species endemic to altitude and cold water named Telmatobius culeus. But over-collecting for human consumption, pollution and predation by introduced species have devastated the Titicaca water frog. In 2016, 10,000 frogs died all at once, and it wasn’t the first mass die-off this critically endangered species has experienced. This short film from The Redford Center shines a new light on these underappreciated animals, showing their amazing adaptability, crucial role in the aquatic ecosystem and what’s at stake — unless humans intervene.

‘An Affair to Remember’
Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr make big plans in the classic 1957 romance “An Affair to Remember,” which screens at the Miracle Theatre on Friday.
You know that movie all the characters in “Sleepless in Seattle” keep talking about? The old movie with the Empire State Building in it? That’s 1957’s “An Affair to Remember,” which really is one of the most romantic films of all time. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr star as two (taken) people who fall in love on a cruise ship — today we’d call it an emotional affair. They make plans to meet at the top of the Empire State Building in six months, but then something goes wrong (if you’ve seen “Sleepless in Seattle,” you know what it is) and then the music swells and it’s just so wonderfully old-school. Take date night to a new level. And look both ways before crossing the street! Miracle Theatre, 535 Eighth St. SE; Fri., 7 p.m., $8.

It’s the sixth year for this offshoot of the New York festival featuring films by and about people with disabilities. Made possible by the Jewish Community Center of Northern Virginia, the festival includes “How Sweet the Sound: The Blind Boys of Alabama,” a documentary (directed by Reston, Va.’s own Leslie McCleave) about the gospel quartet, as well as documentaries, features, shorts and Q&As with filmmakers and subjects. Most of the films have closed captioning and/or audio description available; there is also a free sensory-friendly screening (lights up, sound down) of “Moana” on March 17. Various locations; Sat.
We’re not saying that anyone writing these words went to the movie theater 90 minutes before showtime the last time Benedict Cumberbatch’s “Hamlet” screened just to make sure she (OR POSSIBLY HE) got good seats, and also that this person made her (OR POSSIBLY HIS) friends arrive that early, too. But IF that happened, it was TOTALLY WORTH IT. The National Theatre Live series is presenting an encore screening of this performance of the play at the London venue, first broadcast to cinemas in 2015. A preDoctor Strange Cumberbatch does an excellent Danish prince, so make sure you get good seats (or not).

A woman’s place is in this exhibit
Hey, ladies: Ever feel like the unpaid, underappreciated short-order cook, housekeeper and scheduler for your family? Then you’ll probably enjoy “Women House,” an exhibit opening Friday at the National Museum of Women in the Arts that showcases 36 female artists’ takes on the domestic spaces that can define — and confine — women’s lives. The subject is serious but it’s not a ponderous exhibit, says Orin Zahra, an assistant curator at the museum. “There’s a lot of humor and irony here,” she says. “Some of these pieces are laugh-out-loud funny.” One such piece represents the battle of the sexes as a chessboard, where a husband’s armchairs face off against a wife’s mop buckets. Other works in the show, organized by the Monnaie de Paris museum, portray homes as places of liberation, refuge and even creativity. “That’s what I hope people take away from the show,” Zahra says. “That there’s no one feminine style or perspective — there’s a spectrum of approaches to this idea of home.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS) National Museum of Women in the Arts, 1250 New York Ave. NW; Fri. through May 28, $10. ESTATE OF BIRGIT JURGENSSEN
‘Housewives’ Kitchen Apron’ Birgit Jurgenssen
Viennese artist Birgit Jurgenssen made these self-portraits in 1975. “She’s playing off that colloquialism ‘a bun in the oven,’ ” says Orin Zahra, assistant curator at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. “It’s alluding to pregnancy, and this expected norm that women are supposed to take on this role of mother and wife. She’s pointing out that it’s a burden — the apron is awkward, it’s hanging heavily from her neck.”

ON THE COVER
‘Walking House’
Martha Rosler
This photo montage by Martha Rosler from the late 1960s or early 1970s uses images clipped from magazines, including Playboy. “She’s critiquing the way that women’s bodies have often been objectified and exploited in mass-circulation magazines, and she’s also making that connection with women’s bodies and household appliances,” Zahra says.
‘Space2, Providence, Rhode Island’ Francesca Woodman
Francesca Woodman was around 18 or 19 when she made this selfportrait in the late 1970s. “In her freshman year at [the Rhode Island School of Design], she established a studio in a dried-goods building — it had no kitchen, it had no heating, nothing that would make it a habitable space. But it gave her the perfect environment to create the kind of art she wants to create,” Zahra says. “Her message isn’t one of confinement, because she chose the space. Instead, there’s a real synergy between the body and the architecture. The space is as much a part of her body as her own art is.”
‘Katlego Mashiloane and Nosipho Lavuta, Ext. 2, Lakeside, Johannesburg’ Zanele Muholi
This 2007 photo from South African artist Zanele Muholi, a self-proclaimed “visual activist,” captures a real, candid moment in the lives of two South African lesbians, an often marginalized group. “By creating this sensitive portrait of a real couple, she subverts the dominant images of the black female body as either submissive or hypersexualized,” Zahra says. “I also love the perspective — it feels like we are sitting on the floor in front of them. It’s intimate, but it doesn’t seem voyeuristic.” For these women, home seems to be a safe place where they can be themselves without fear of violence, she adds.
RACHEL WHITEREAD
‘Damp Meat’
For this nearly 7-foot-tall photograph she shot in 1989, Laurie Simmons (Lena Dunham’s mom) created a sculpture with a miniature house and doll parts, and used dramatic lighting to create the illusion of a human-size creature. “What’s missing is, of course, her arms, her face, her head,” Zahra says. “This is a woman who’s boiled down to what is expected of her — to be this object of sexual gratification, with those shapely legs, and also a homemaker.”

‘Modern Chess Set’ Rachel Whiteread
This 2005 sculpture by Rachel Whiteread makes a game out of traditional gender roles. On the husband’s side, the king is represented by the refrigerator, which he fills with food by working outside of the home. On the wife’s side, the king is the stove, where she cooks dinner. “The pawns on the husband’s side are seating areas, where the man might relax and watch TV, while all the wife’s pawns are things like trash cans, dishwashing tubs and dusters,” Zahra says.

SATURDAY
Jonathan Wilson After spending last year singing Pink Floyd songs on tour with Roger Waters, California guitarist (and producer) Jonathan Wilson has returned to his solo career, releasing “Rare Birds,” his first album since 2013, last week. The psychedelic journey of a record is influenced by his time playing Pink Floyd tunes (the singers from Lucius, who also toured with Waters, even make an appearance), as well as the West Coast folk sound he’s championed for years. Lana Del Rey and Father John Misty also guest on the sprawling album. Rock and Roll Hotel,
Romeo Santos EagleBank Arena, 4500 Patriot Circle, Fairfax; Sat., 8 p.m., $89.50-$274.50.
For nearly two decades, Romeo Santos has been the face and voice of bachata, a genre born in the Dominican Republic that favors bittersweet balladry. First, he fronted Aventura, a Bronx band that fused traditional bachata with R&B and hip-hop, and became an international star. Santos went solo in 2011 and doubled down on crossing over, teaming with the likes of Usher, Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne. But with last year’s “Golden,” he fully embraced bachata — and its en vogue cousin, reggaeton — in the search for a “Despacito” of his own.

Wade Bowen is as Texas as they come. In 2001, the singersongwriter left the band West 84 for a solo career, making his own brand of Red Dirt country music. In the wake of the collapse of his deal with Sony, Bowen has bounced back with “Solid Ground,” which honors his home state (he hails from Waco) with a selection of styles the Lone Star State does best, including outlaw rock and classic country.

Featuring 27 films from 20 countries, the 14th annual New African Film Festival opens Thursday at the AFI Silver with a screening of “I Am Not a Witch.” The feature filmmaking debut of Zambian-Welsh actress-turneddirector Rungano Nyoni is a genrebending feminist tale of a 9-yearold girl accused of witchcraft, and was one of the most buzzed-about films at last year’s Cannes Film Festival.

Despite a convoluted plot, Mindy Kaling’s new sitcom has charm TV REVIEW NBC’s “Champions,” an appealing if uneven comedy from co-creators Mindy Kaling and Charlie Grandy (premiering at 9:30 p.m. today), is about the underachieving owner of a struggling Brooklyn athletic club who meets the teenage son he never
knew he had. Scratch that. Vince (Anders Holm of “Workaholics”) knew he had a kid with Priya (Kaling, in a recurring role), but the unplanned pregnancy stood between him and a baseball scholarship, so the couple parted ways. Vince never played a part in raising his child — nor did he play much baseball. Instead, he returned to Brooklyn to run his late father’s gym, which he’d love to sell. The situational part of “sitcom”

‘Champions’ is mostly winning Anders Holm, right, is thrilled for daddy duty in Mindy Kaling’s new sitcom.
presents itself in Michael (J.J. Totah), Priya and Vince’s hyperaware, super-snarky, showbiz-obsessed, proudly gay theater nerd. Hoping to attend an exclusive
performing arts school, Michael, 15, needs a place to live in New York, and Priya lives in Cleveland. So mother and son show up unannounced, and Priya informs
Vince that it’s his turn to step up. Totah camps his scenes up without a trace of old-school inhibitions; that he’s front-andcenter on a prime-time sitcom is presented merely as a post-post“Will & Grace” opportunity for laughs instead of agendas. Vince hardly flinches at the news that his son is gay, nor does his brother, nor do the supporting characters who populate the gym. Removed of messagi ng, “Champions” instead has to rely on the lightning-quick style of humor that defined Kaling’s previous show “The Mindy Project.” The results in the first few episodes are mixed, with LOLs spaced a little too far apart.

“Having an office conversation about pretty confidential stuff and Alexa just laughed. Anybody else ever have that?” @DAVIDSVEN, sharing a story on
Twitter about an Alexa device laughing at an inappropriate time. Many people have been sharing similar accounts on social media of the devices laughing unprompted, freaking users out. Amazon told theverge.com that it is “aware of this and working to fix it.”
@SOLEDADOBRIEN, broadcast journalist Soledad O’Brien,
sparring with CNN analyst Chris Cillizza, who published a piece Tuesday addressing the recent turnover in President Trump’s administration, comparing him to a reality TV producer. O’Brien called Cillizza out on Twitter, saying that the glib piece was “in part why people hate the media.” Cillizza-haters supported the public dragging. Someone even temporarily edited Cillizza’s Wikipedia page to say that he had passed away March 6. The cause of death? Soledad O’Brien.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) To go the distance and embrace the best in yourself can provide a challenge that requires you to dig deep. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Any uncertainty you may be feeling can be dispelled by digging into something you know better than anyone else. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are feeling the pressure exerted by those who don’t understand what you’re going through now. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may be guilty of doing precisely the thing that you have claimed you would not do — and this prompts a period of self-examination. WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION
CANCER (June 21-July 22) The
sooner you admit to something you were suspected of in the past, the sooner you can move on.

is happening that is pushing your buttons — and pushing you in an unexpected direction as well.
TODAY: We should start partly sunny as morning temperatures rise through the 30s. But clouds increase during the afternoon as a little disturbance approaches, with highs stalling in the low to mid40s. Winds add a noticeable chill. A few flurries or snow showers are possible during the late afternoon into evening.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are
free of much that has burdened you in the past, but there is still tension between you and an old friend that requires some work. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You find yourself in a situation that is very much like one you experienced this time last year. Is this by design? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You can fulfill a promise today by doing that which comes naturally. Others are likely to follow in your footsteps very soon.

Mariah ‘bless her heart’-s Grammys In an interview with V magazine, Mariah Carey criticized the Grammys as she discussed her forthcoming music. “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn,” the singer said of winning awards. “I mean, I have five Grammys. That’s cute. There’s people that have been doing this half the time that have twice as many [Grammys]. I won two Grammys the first year I started, but after that, [the Grammys] are like, ‘We don’t go with the people that are selling a lot of records and are popular; we’re gonna go the opposite way.’ So I got screwed out of certain years. I wasn’t bitter about it.” (EXPRESS)
