Smurfette deemed too blue for ultra-Orthodox Israeli city
When the Oakland Raiders move to a new stadium in Las Vegas in 2020, it’s expected to give the local economy a boost. Here’s an example perfect for Sin City: Dennis Hof, who already owns six legal brothels in Nevada, announced plans to build a seventh, this one with a Raiders theme, the Las Vegas Sun reported Tuesday. Hof said Raiders players and staff will get a 50 percent discount at the new Pirate’s Booty brothel. (EXPRESS)
A driver who called for help after running out of gas in Tulare, S.D., is accused of stealing a police car and leading authorities on a 140-mile chase before once again running out of fuel. Police said that when the deputy initially arrived to help Monday, the suspect — apparently armed — pushed him out of his squad car and drove off. The Highway Patrol joined the high-speed, marathon pursuit that ended when the squad car’s tank ran dry. (AP)
Israel’s pious ultra-Orthodox Jewish community has long chafed at public displays of women, whether the images are of female public figures or ordinary women.

Woman charged with abusing child with pan ALEX WONG (GETTY IMAGES)
THE DISTRICT A 20-year-old woman described as “erratic and aggressive” drove a vehicle into a U.S. Capitol Police cruiser and was taken into custody Wednesday morning, a disruption that closed down streets for nearly three hours. Shots were fired during the arrest attempt, but the event appeared to be criminal in nature with “no nexus to terrorism,” said Capitol Police spokeswoman Eva Malecki. No one was injured, and the U.S. Capitol remained open. Late Wednesday afternoon, police identified the driver as Taleah Everett, of no fixed address. She was charged with seven counts of assault on a police officer, among other offenses. According to online court records in Maryland, Everett was due in court Wednesday morning in a domestic violence case at roughly the same time as the incident at the Capitol. She was the subject of a no-contact order, the records show. Relatives of Everett in Maryland did not immediately respond

to telephone messages. Malecki described the woman as an “erratic and aggressive driver.” As police attempted to stop her, she made a U-turn and fled, nearly hitting officers and striking at least one other vehicle, Malecki said. A brief pursuit followed before the woman was stopped. The chase took place near the U.S. Botanic Garden. Malecki said shots were fired “during the attempt to arrest the suspect,” but she declined to say how many
shots were fired or to elaborate further. The disruption happened near the end of the morning rush hour and prompted a large police response just as lines of people were waiting to get into a nearby congressional office building. Streets near the Capitol were closed, and the Sergeant at Arms advised lawmakers and staff to stay away from the area. The streets reopened nearly three hours later. Scott Ferson, president of

A Message from Metro General Manager/CEO Paul J. Wiedefeld Back in 2010, Metro’s escalators were a symbol of infrastructure neglect and decay. But today, it’s a different story. Escalator availability now stands at 93.5 percent, the highest rate in six years. Since 2011, Metro has installed 65 new escalators, and 23 units are expected to be installed by the end of this year. Additionally, another 153 escalators have been rebuilt to “like new” condition. These smaller projects replace all of the escalators’ steps, handrails, motors, controllers, drive chains and other critical parts. Earlier this month, we completed a major capital project to install three new escalators at Bethesda Station. The entrance escalators at Bethesda Station are 212 feet long, making them the second longest in the Metrorail system and among the longest in the Western Hemisphere. To ensure the safety of customers, the escalators were replaced one at a time and
most of the work was conducted when the station was closed and the adjacent escalators were not in service. While it was an extremely complicated project requiring 42 weeks per escalator for site preparation, demolition, construction, installation and testing, it was still completed on time. These new escalators at Bethesda Station will deliver customers more reliable service for decades to come. As part of our Back2Good plan, we are focused on improving the customer experience on buses and trains and in our stations. We understand that escalator projects can add some time to your commute, but the payoff is great. I want to thank our customers across the system as we continue a $150 million capital improvement project to further improve escalator service.

THE DISTRICT President Trump’s company is actively seeking to open a second Washington hotel as part of a planned nationwide expansion, potentially creating another venue where he stands to benefit financially from customers doing business in the nation’s capital. Representatives of the Trump Organization, now run by the president’s adult sons, have inquired in recent months about converting one of several boutique, medium-sized hotels in upscale neighborhoods in and near downtown and reopening it under the company’s new Scion brand. Unlike the luxurious Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, which Trump and his family own, the more affordable Scion hotels would be owned by other developers who would pay the Trumps’ company for licensing rights and management. “They’re trying hard to do Scion in this market and they’re trying hard in other markets also,” said Brian Friedman, who owns the Carlyle Hotel in Dupont Circle and Kimpton Glover Park. Friedman, managing partner of D.C.-based Foxhall Partners,

The Trump International Hotel, which opened downtown last fall, has become a lightning rod for accusations of ethics abuses by the president.
said Trump representatives had toured both properties in recent months and had previously inquired about a hotel Foxhall is developing in Adams Morgan. Friedman said he also occasionally receives inquiries from buyers who say they have a licensing agreement with Trump for a Scion and wanted to buy one of his hotels and convert it. “Definitely there are groups that say they are going to do a Trump Scion hotel,” he said. “These are just people running around saying, ‘I have money and the brand is Scion.’ ” The Trump International Hotel, which opened last fall, has become
a touchstone in the controversy over the president’s decision to retain ownership of his business. By hosting political groups and foreign embassies as clients, the luxury property has prompted protests, lawsuits and criticism from ethics experts who think Trump has the potential to profit from the power of the presidency. The addition of a more informal Scion Hotel in D.C. would provide a chance for less wellheeled groups to do business with the president’s company — albeit at a property without his name. The process of opening a new hotel could take years. JONATHAN O’CONNELL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Christie to chair panel on U.S. addiction crisis HEALTH President Donald Trump is vowing to step up efforts to combat the nation’s addiction crisis. Trump convened an emotional roundtable Wednesday attended by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, cabinet members, law enforcement officials and recovering addicts. It was the first public event tied to the launch of an addiction commission that Trump asked Christie to chair. Trump listened intently as attendees shared their stories about addiction and recovery. He
told a woman who lost her son to an overdose that he did not die in vain. Christie has made the issue of Christie addiction a centerpiece of his own administration. He spoke extensively about the issue during his presidential bid and has dedicated his final year in office to addressing the drug crisis. Last month, he signed legislation that limits first-time opioid prescriptions to five days’ worth of drugs

The drug also was OK’d Tuesday for relapsing forms of MS, which progress more slowly. It’s given intravenously every six months. The initial list price without insurance will be $65,000 a year. (AP)

Living in fear in Raqqa WASHINGTONPOST.COM MORNING MIX
3 storm chasers die on the job in car accident
This image released this month by the ISIS-affiliated Aamaq news agency shows a headscarved child in a park in Raqqa, Syria. AP
MIDDLE EAST Residents of the northern Syrian city of Raqqa live in terror, trapped as a massive human shield in the Islamic State’s de facto capital ahead of the final battle with U.S.-backed opposition forces for the militant group’s last major urban stronghold. A belt of land mines and militant checkpoints circles the city. Inside, all the men have been ordered to wear the jihadis’ garb of baggy pants and long shirts — making it difficult to distinguish ISIS militants from civilians. Hundreds if not thousands of Syrians who fled from other parts of the country now live in tents in Raqqa’s streets, vulnerable to both airstrikes and ground fighting. Enormous tarps have been stretched for blocks to hide the militants’ movements from spy planes and satellites. Raqqa, a provincial capital on the northern bank of the Euphrates, is the next major battle against ISIS as Iraqi forces push to complete the recapture of northern Iraqi city of Mosul after nearly six months of fighting. The estimated 300,000 people trapped inside live in terrifying uncertainty over how to find safety. Airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition shake the city almost daily, mainly hitting northern neighborhoods, amid reports of civilians killed by strikes in the nearby countryside. To get a picture of Raqqa, The Associated Press talked to more than a dozen people with knowledge of the city. Almost all spoke on condition they not be identified, fearing for their own lives or the lives of their contacts. G et t i ng i n for m at io n i s

In de facto ISIS capital, militant group is using terrified Syrian civilians as a vast human shield
Residents face major difficulties leaving Raqqa Getting smuggled out of Raqqa is too expensive for most. Smugglers — most often ISIS fighters looking to make a profit — charge $300 to $500 per person and sometimes as high as $1,000, according to several activists. Once outside, those fleeing face the danger of the land mines. An aid worker said one man who staggered into a camp for the displaced had lost a child from a roadside bomb and was himself gravely injured. Those who make it to areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces risk being turned back unless they have someone to vouch for them, according to Muhab Nasser, an activist from Raqqa. He said some had been refused entry by SDF fighters, suspicious of ISIS infiltrators or sympathizers. The cost of being smuggled out of Syria entirely is a prohibitive $3,000 to $4,000 per person, according to Sarmad al-Jilane, an activist in Turkey — a country that is cracking down on crossings. An aid worker said so far there is no refugee crisis from Raqqa — a chilling sign of how hard it is to leave. (AP)
difficult. Militants constantly look for “spies.” One activist said two people had recently been put to death for suspected contact with the U.S.-led coalition. Leaflets dropped by coalition warplanes give confusing directions to residents — one suggests areas closer to the Euphrates River are safer, but then another
warns that boats crossing the river will be struck. “The people really don’t know where to go,” said an activist, who added that residents were caught between airstrikes, land mines and ISIS fighters mingling among civilians. Fighters in Raqqa have started to move in with families to hide

among civilians. Residents must dig trenches, stack sandbags and build earthen berms for the city’s defenses. Children have stopped going to school. “If you want ‘lessons,’ you go to the mosques,” said Hamad, a former resident of Raqqa who spoke from Beirut and asked to be identified only by his first name. Food is still in adequate supply, but medical care is almost nonexistent since most doctors fled long ago, according to Hamad and others. Loudspeakers on mosques or on vehicles used by the religious police warn the populace that the battle is coming. “They tell people ... it is a battle against Islam, all nations are attacking us and the Prophet says we should be united,” said Hussam Eesa, one of the founders of the activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, speaking from Turkey. “They are putting psychological pressure on residents.” BASSEM MROUE AND LORI HINNANT (AP)
A few miles west of Spur, Texas, three storm chasers died while tracking a tornado when their two vehicles collided at a rural intersection Tuesday afternoon. One storm chaser, driving a Chevrolet Suburban, missed a stop sign and slammed into another chaser’s Jeep. The Suburban’s two occupants and the Jeep driver were pronounced dead at the scene, Sgt. John Gonzalez, a representative for the Texas Department of Public Safety, told Lubbock’s Avalanche-Journal. Kelley Gene Williamson, 57, of Cassville, Mo., was driving the Suburban. Randall Delane Yarnall, 55, also from Cassville, was riding in the passenger seat. Corbin Lee Jaeger, 25, of Peoria, Ariz., drove alone in the Jeep. Williamson and Yarnall worked as contractors for the Weather Channel. Authorities did not mention whether stormy conditions played a role, but one official confirmed to CNN that the storm chasers were following a tornado. A storm bringing heavy rains had passed through the area. Fatalities in the field are rare. In the decades since the first such death, when a University of Oklahoma meteorology student’s car swerved off the road in 1984, the few storm chasers who died perished in automobile accidents. No tornado killed a storm chaser until 2013, when a massive twister killed four. BEN GUARINO

Intel probe on Russia progressing in Senate
IT’S OFFICIAL
Ivanka to take unpaid role in administration
POLITICS The Senate Intelligence Committee will begin as soon as Monday privately interviewing 20 people in its ongoing investigation of Russia involvement in the 2016 election as well as potential ties to the Trump campaign, its leaders said Wednesday. Committee chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., said that “if there’s relevance,” he and vice chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., may eventually have a public hearing. In a joint news conference on Wednesday, Burr and Warner refused to comment on the cloud of political discord that has stymied the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation. Last week its chairman, Devin Nunes, R-Calif., went to the White House grounds without telling his committee, to meet with a secret source and view documents he claims may show the president’s identity was improperly revealed on surveillance reports. “We’re not asking the House to play any role in our investigation, we don’t plan to play any role in their investigation,” Burr said. The main difference between the investigations is in how united the two Senate leaders are. With his hand on Burr’s shoulder, Warner said, “I have

confidence in Richard Burr that we together, with the members of our committee, are going to get to the bottom of this.” On Wednesday, a Republican congressman said that the Senate should take the lead on Congress’ Russia investigation. “The House is paralyzed on this thing,” Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa., said in an interview. “The Senate is moving forward. I think that’s the only committee that’s going to be able to bring us a report at this point.” Dent is one of the first Republican voices to openly advocate moving the Russia investigation out of the House Intelligence Committee’s hands. Burr said the Senate committee has dedicated seven staff
members to the Russia investigation, and is “within weeks” of completing a review of “thousands of pages” of documents the intelligence community has made available to them. Burr would not commit to an interview schedule with Trump surrogates who have volunteered themselves in recent days, including Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who arranged meetings with the Russian ambassador and other officials.

No LGBTQ question on 2020 count
The U.S. Census Bureau said Wednesday that it had mistakenly proposed counting LGBTQ Americans and has since “corrected” its proposal by removing the gender and sexuality category. Gay rights groups quickly declared that it was another sign that President Trump was reneging on a campaign promise to protect them. The statement came a day after the agency sent Congress its proposal for the categories to be included in the 2020 Census. (AP)

Experts: Order won’t bring coal jobs back ENVIRONMENT President Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that lifted a moratorium on federal coal leases Tuesday, paving the way for excavation of a fossil fuel on public land that few mining companies seem to want. The order follows the president’s campaign promise to revive the coal industry and bring back thousands of lost mining jobs in rural America. But industry experts say coal mining jobs will continue to be lost, not because of blocked access to coal, but because power plant owners are turning to natural gas. At least six plants that relied on coal have closed or announced they will close since Trump’s victory in November. Another 40 are projected to close in the next four years. “The amount of coal in the national energy generation mix ... has declined by 53 percent since 2006,” according to a Department of Energy report in January. In the same period, electricity generation from natural gas increased 33 percent The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis stated in its 2017 U.S. Coal Outlook, “Promises to create more coal jobs will not be kept — indeed the industry will continue to cut payrolls. These losses will be related in part to the coal industry’s long-term business model of producing more coal with fewer workers.” DARRYL FEARS (TWP)

Brits trigger divorce talks ‘No turning back,’ May says as negotiations for Brexit get the go-ahead LONDON A little over nine months after British voters chose to withdraw from the European Union, Britain took a decisive — and likely irreversible — step Wednesday toward ending a partnership that has bound the country to the continent for nearly half a century. With the simple handoff of a letter in Brussels, the British government became the first to
trigger Article 50 — the mechanism for nations to exit the EU. “This is a historic moment from which there can be no turning back,” Prime Minister Theresa May told the House of Commons. In Brussels, European Council President Donald Tusk called it a sad day: “After all, most Europeans, including nearly half the British voters, wish that we would stay together, not drift apart.” The move plunged Britain and the 27 other EU nations into two years of what will almost certainly be acrimonious negotiations over the terms of divorce.
The talks will encompass subjects such as trade terms, immigration rules, financial regulations and, of course, money. The stakes are enormous. Britain could be forced to reorient its economy if it loses favorable terms with its biggest trade partner. It also may not survive the departure in one piece, with Scotland threatening to bolt. The EU also faces a huge threat. If Britain secures an attractive deal, other countries contemplating their own departures could speed toward the exits. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

He recently sold it for $2.14 million. “We bought this with the expectation that Donald Trump would win the election — that was the gamble,” Davis said. (TWP)

After clinching a division title this week, Bradley Beal said he wants to get to 50 wins.
THREE POINTERS
JONATHAN NEWTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Wizards’ most wins
DAN STEINBERG | THE WASHINGTON POST
Appreciate this: Division drought ends after 38 years In the modern NBA, where playoff order is decided by record, no one sets a goal of raising a division banner. Fans typically don’t care, either. OK. Sure. Still. Take a moment to reflect on the Wizards’ Southeast Division title, clinched with an overwhelming comeback and a 119-108 victory over the Lakers early Wednesday morning, with the Wizards ending the game on a 49-22 avalanche. That led to Washington’s first division championship in 38 years. As CSN’s Chase Hughes discovered, this had been the longest divisional drought in the four major sports — well ahead of the 30 years the Edmonton Oilers have waited.
And after all those years — and after this season’s horrid start — the Wizards wound up strolling leisurely to a firstplace finish. “I’ve been here for seven years; it feels like I’ve been here my whole life,” John Wall said on CSN after the game. “We haven’t accomplished a lot of things. This is something that’s exciting for the city, just the start to where we want to be. ... We’ve got bigger goals that we’re trying to reach.” Take away the first 15 or 20 games of this season, and watching these Wizards has been among the most disorienting D.C. sports experiences I can remember. Nothing went wrong. No one suffered a tragicomic injury. No teammates publicly feuded. No guns. No fatties. The coach did not say
a single objectionable thing. There were no losing skids, no freak-outs, no bouts of panic. Start on Dec. 1, and the Wizards have been the best team in the Eastern Conference. Start on Jan. 1, and they’ve been the third-best team in the NBA. Fans have pleaded for consistent winning over the past decade. (Or two. Or three.) The team would sometimes be OK, or pretty good, or briefly dangerous. It would virtually never offer month after month of sustained success. This team? It came to feel reliable, which is the weirdest thing of all. Down 16 to the Lakers on Tuesday night, you still felt sure the Wizards would roar back to claim first place. The Bullets won a leaguehigh 54 games in 1978-79. The franchise hasn’t won more than 46 since — a total the Wizards reached with eight games left. “The next goal is to get 50 wins,” Bradley Beal said after the Lakers win. “The fans, that’s something that they want and ... deserve. They’ve been looking forward to a good team in the city for a long time. We’ve put that together. Now we owe it to them.”

1 1974-75 Bullets 60-22 (.732)
Elvin Hayes (23.0 ppg) and Phil Chenier (21.8) led Washington to the NBA Finals, where it was swept by Rick Barry’s Warriors.
The Wizards haven’t entered the postseason with expectations like this in — well, probably in 38 years. I’m not exactly sure what a division title means, and whether it’s worthy of celebration. But it seems worthy of appreciation. Follow Dan Steinberg on Twitter @dcsportsbog

BILL O’LEARY (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Melo Trimble will hire agent, leave for NBA
The land bordering Dulles airport that could work as a potential stadium site could be marketed as early as this year.
RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU
New stadium site? Dulles land fits Redskins’ needs As the Redskins continue to explore options to build a new stadium in Maryland, Virginia or D.C., an ideal site bordering Dulles airport in Loudoun County, Va., could soon be available. More than 500 acres are expected to be sold or leased by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), Washington Business Journal reported this week. Three parcels on the western side of the airport include a 416-acre piece called Western Lands, a 56- to 68-acre spot adjacent to a future Silver Line Metro stop and a 45-acre site fronting State Route 606. It’s a perfect location for a new football stadium, which the Redskins will need by the time their FedEx Field lease expires in 2027. The expected tussle for the stadium is boiling down to
Virginia, where the Redskins have their headquarters (Ashburn) and training camp (Richmond), versus Maryland. The team plays its home games in Landover. The District, where the Redskins played from 1937 to 1996, is a long shot to regain the team given the lack of available land outside the RFK Stadium site, which has strong neighborhood opposition and might require the team to change its name, which some lawmakers view as racist. This month, the MWAA published a report stating its requirements for prospective commercial real estate brokers who will help it lease or sell the parcels. According to the report, the Western Lands piece could be marketed as early as the third quarter of this year. Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe wants to lure the team before his term ends in January. A source familiar with stadium talks told Express
earlier this year that the airport site was considered Virginia’s strongest potential venue because of Metro access expected to be open by 2020. The Loudoun properties would allow for commercial development around the stadium, a necessity considering that the facility is expected to cost more than $1 billion. The new stadium is expected to be smaller than FedEx Field, which is on a 200-acre plot. The Redskins, who have talked to Maryland, Virginia and District officials about a stadium for two years, also want an accompanying entertainment district, an add-on now popular for new NFL venues. The Loudoun parcels would provide needed room. The Los Angeles Rams’ new stadium is on 298 acres and is scheduled to open in 2019 at a cost of $2.6 billion. The team said in November it was working with the Federal Aviation Administration, which has concerns the structure will conflict with radar at a nearby airport. As far as the Redskins are concerned, Maryland officials are also considering a stadium as part of the National Harbor complex that recently added MGM National Harbor’s casino.

Maryland guard Melo Trimble will declare for the NBA draft and hire an agent, the school announced Wednesday, thus ending his threeyear run as one of the most decorated players in school history. The decision comes less than two weeks after Maryland lost to Xavier in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Trimble’s draft prospects appear lower than they were two years ago, but his legacy at Maryland is strong. After his arrival, Maryland went 79-25 and made three NCAA Tournament appearances. This season, the all-Big Ten pick scored game-winning points five times. He’s one of four Maryland players with 1,600 points, 400 assists and 150 steals, joining Greivis Vasquez, Walt Williams and Johnny Rhodes. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The culminating event will be a disco party featuring Gloria Gaynor, who talked to Express about her signature song.
MUSIC Play the song in any dance club and people cheer. Sing it (well) at karaoke and you’re the star of the night.

‘I Will Survive’ is all-time now, and Gloria Gaynor is still thrilled to sing it
“I believe God intended to make this the course of my purpose,” Gaynor says of her enduring smash.
It’s not about a guy for her “My mother had passed away, and I was devastated. It took me years to get myself together; that’s what I related to when I heard the song. That, and I was recording the

song in a back brace because I had fallen onstage earlier that year. Those were the two things that were on my mind — that I had survived. I was thinking of these things that had nothing to do with unrequited love.”
Taking it personally “When you’re singing from your heart, people feel that. When people come up to me, it’s not like they come to me about the song — they come to me about me and the song. No one says, ‘The song did this for me,’ they say, ‘YOU did this for me.’ It’s very meaningful to me because
it’s validation. It adds meaning and purpose to my life; it lets me know I’m not here just taking up space. I’m having a positive impact on people’s lives, and isn’t that what we all want to do?”
Making history “[The Library of Congress recognition] is very validating to me. It means that song and I are not just something for this time. It’s already come through a couple of generations, but it’s saying it is something great enough, profound enough, to get into history and be a gift for future generations.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

Mirabelle makes lunch fine
Frank Ruta tackles the midday meal first at his new downtown spot
Union Market gets a barbecue switcheroo
REY LOPEZ (UNDER A BUSHEL)
FINE DINING As part of their research for Mirabelle, the newly opened French-American destination near the White House, chef Frank Ruta and pastry chef Aggie Chin dined at as many Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris as they could fit into their schedule. But now, they’re trying to keep from going Michelin starry-eyed. “We want the best reviews. We want the best accolades. We kind of want it all,” says Chin, who previously worked with Ruta in D.C. at the late Palena and at The Grill Room. “But … I don’t think we can say, ‘Oh, this is definitely going to be a one-star or two-star place.’ ” The initial vision for Mirabelle wasn’t quite as lofty. Owner Hakan Ilhan — also of Alba Osteria, Ottoman Taverna and others — originally envisioned a restaurant that split the difference between French bistro and fine-dining destination. The businessman decided to go all-in on fine dining once he learned how busy downtown was at night. High-powered lawyers and lobbyists apparently like to eat and drink in the neighborhood after work. But first, the Mirabelle staff is focused just on lunch. For the first couple of weeks, Mirabelle is serving only the midday

meal, a reversal of the standard practice, in which a restaurant debuts with dinner service and adds lunch later. The flip was Ruta’s idea. “We’re going to get our accolades based on dinner service because that’s where most people will feel the full effect of dining at Mirabelle,” says Ruta, who won a James Beard Award while at Palena and who served as a White House cook for a decade. “We don’t want to open for dinner first and put a lot of energy in that, and then have lunch become almost an afterthought.” Even though Mirabelle leans hard on French cuisine, the lunch menu includes dishes that you wouldn’t find at a
Room to dough Owner Hakan Ilhan has spared little expense on Mirabelle, which has custom-designed tables, marble counters and brass fixtures. What’s more, Ilhan cut 10 to 15 seats from plans for the private dining room after Ruta said he’d need more kitchen space for pastry production. Ilhan says the alteration will cost him thousands of dollars in revenue. “It wasn’t an easy decision,” Ilhan says, “but I’m glad we did it.” T.C.
onions and aged Gruyere. Ruta and Chin’s take on French cuisine is rooted in tradition, but isn’t a slave to it. Ruta’s paté appetizer, for example, isn’t covered in a flaky pastry as in the traditional French paté en croute. Instead, it features a side of puff pastry stuffed with vegetables in a mustardy glaze. For one of the menu’s desserts, Chin takes classic French choux pastry and fills it with caramelized peanut cream and milk chocolate. She calls it Paris Washington. TIM CARMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

MARKETS The smoked-meat scene at Union Market just got a major upgrade. Sloppy Mama’s, the old-school barbecue operation run by former high school history and philosophy teacher Joe Neuman, has taken over the stall at the trendy food hall once occupied by The BBQ Joint. Under the guidance of pitmaster Nick Giorno, the former chef at Steel Plate in Brookland, the Union Market stall (1309 5th St. NE, open Tuesdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.) offers brisket, ribs and pork in a variety of combo plates and sandwiches. Neuman also plans to rotate in special items like chicken, duck or lamb. Customers can also pick up grocery items, including Sloppy Mama’s pickles, pimento cheese, rubs and sauces. Meanwhile, Neuman plans to continue catering and operating the Sloppy Mama’s food truck as usual, but he’s thinking about retooling the menu at Solly’s Tavern, where he hawks barbecue to patrons of the U Street watering hole. He’s toying with the idea of scaling back the smoked meats and giving Solly’s a taste of Sloppy Mama’s original concept: handcrafted sausages. He’s tinkering with a hot Italian sausage with two types of Mexican peppers. Don’t start dreaming of those sausages just yet. Neuman isn’t planning to make any decisions about Solly’s menu “until we are firing at Union Market for a couple of weeks.” TIM CARMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Other voices, other rooms, other worlds THEATER No matter how closely you pay attention to “H.T. Darling’s Incredible Musaeum Presents: The Treasures of New Galapagos, Astonishing Acquisitions From the Perisphere,” you’re not going to experience all of it. “There’s actually no way to see the entire show,” says Glenn Ricci, co-artistic director of Submersive Productions, the company that also mounted 2015’s “The Mesmeric Revelations! of Edgar Allan Poe,” which became Baltimore’s longest-running immersive theater experience. “This really lets the audience choose their own narratives, choose which rooms to spend time in — it’s really about your experience through the evening’s events.”
The fantastical “H.T. Darling’s” plays out as a showcase of the artifacts brought back by Darling, an explorer who recently returned from an expedition to the planet of New Galapagos. For each performance of the show, which is set sometime in the future, the 32 audience members take part in a champagne toast, tour the artifacts and watch the unveiling of one of the planet’s newly discovered species. Housed inside Baltimore’s Peale Museum, the show is “really tied to the space,” Ricci says. Company members spent weeks exploring the rooms, figuring out how best to use all of the building’s four stories. “It was like moving into a very large house.” While taking in “H.T. Darling’s,” audiences spend about two hours wandering through the museum’s rooms and corridors, interacting with the otherworldly
wonders — and H.T. himself — as they see fit. Is there a plot? Yes, but no one gets all of the pieces. “There are moments in the show that only one person will experience every night,” Ricci says. “Part of the fun is to talk to all your friends afterwards and try to piece together the story based on what you saw.” Immersive theater like this is obviously quite different than the “sit down, be quiet and clap at the end” staging most people are used to. “We really like to respect the audience’s ability to figure things out for themselves,” Ricci says. “We’re not afraid of the audience being a little bit confused. We’re not afraid of letting them follow their curiosity.”

Wyclef Jean has a lot to celebrate Wyclef Jean makes the most of whatever environment he finds himself in. It’s a skill the singerproducer acquired as a youngster, when he and his family left his native Haiti for Brooklyn and eventually settled in New Jersey. “I was born in a hut. I ate dirt from the floor. I didn’t know what electricity was,” Jean says. “So by the time I got to America, I was like, ‘We made it.’ I just became a sponge wanting to escape, and my escape became culture.” Since his breakout success two decades ago with The Fugees, Jean has released several solo albums — starring his unique blend of reggae, hip-hop and R&B — and collaborated with such superstars as Beyonce and Shakira. To tide fans over till the expected summer release of “Carnival III: Road to Clefication,” his first full-length album since 2009, Jean recently dropped the EP “J’ouvert,” which gets its name from a word that signals the official start of Carnival. Before he gets the party started at the Fillmore on Thursday, Jean let us in on what inspires him these days. ERIN WILLIAMS (FOR EXPRESS)
You were born in Haiti and raised in New York and New Jersey, where you live now. How did dipping in and out of so many cultures shape your life? You learn so many different cultures [and] meet different people. And my high school, Vailsburg High School [in Newark], I call “the ghetto ‘Fame’.” It was a time where the teachers actually cared for students. It was so much culture going on in this small place. This high school
was like a melting pot. … It was this little hub, but we were all still in the ’hood. Somehow, the way we all escaped was the art. Your charity, Yele Haiti, was shuttered in 2012 after dealing with accusations of fund mismanagement. But you still advocate for Haitian development and relief. What is your new strategy? I’m still very active in my country. Eighty percent of our population is still living on less than a dollar a day. The next part of what’s going to help Haiti is you have to bring jobs into Haiti. Right now I’m part of a small group that’s going to help bring different industries to my country. Industries bring employment, and employment helps bring corruption down, so it will be my focus in the next couple of months. What is next for you on your list of things to learn? I want to know how to swim. I still can’t swim. Everyone that has tried to teach me has not
worked. The other is fly an airplane. On a more serious note, what I’m excited about is not just me coming back into music. I feel like this small label I’m with now, Heads Music … I’m very excited at the slew of young talent that this label is producing. My next passion is how I can focus on being a Clive Davis, a L.A. Reid — like a mentor to these kids and work on production and work on bringing out a lot of young talent. What can audiences expect when they see you onstage? They call me Haitian James Brown mixed with Bob Marley. We bring a lot of energy onstage. We bring a celebration. So when you come to see me you’re coming to see an experience, but you’re also coming to see a revival. Everything that we bring to the stage is because we’re celebrating life, the fact that we’re still here.

Your upcoming album will be your third dedicated to the weeks-long celebration in Haiti known as Carnival. Why does the event speak so deeply to you? The fusion, you know? So Carnival for us, where we come from, is a celebration of culture, a celebration of life. Not all the albums are called “Carnival” … [but] whenever you hear “Carnival” [in the title], just know that you’re going to get a body of work that is very pan-African, world-influenced, mixed with my urban upbringing.

The art of dealing with it Washingtonians still stressed out by the election are finding ways to feel better and do good “HOW’S EVERYONE DOING TONIGHT?” comedian Chris Blackwood asked the crowd at a recent
benefit show at the Bier Baron. “Not great!” shouted a man from the back of the sold-out room. “Me either,” Blackwood replied, adding, “Hey, Trump’s not all bad. Now it’s OK to cry openly in public.” The crowd laughed with recognition. “It’s so true,” the guy in the audience said. People are stressed out, and it’s not just liberals: 59 percent of Republicans say that the future of the nation is a significant source of stress in their lives, according to a January survey by the American Psychological Association. Combine that with the 76 percent of Democrats stressed about the country’s path and you have a very angsty nation, says Vaile Wright, a D.C. psychologist who worked on the survey. Post-election stress is especially pervasive in the nation’s capital, she adds. “Even if you’re not directly involved in the political arena, when you live in D.C., it’s hard to get
This stress is partly what motivated Blackwood and fellow comedian Matt Dundas to launch a series of comedy shows and fundraisers. Shortly after the Nov. 8 election, the two managed their despair by founding
Grassroots Comedy DC, a group that now produces monthly comedy fundraisers for lefty causes, including Planned Parenthood and the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. “We wanted to be a part of the
resistance to Trump’s policies and we also wanted to give people some comic relief,” Dundas says. “It’s really helped my post-election depression. Hopefully, it’s been good for other people, too.” Going to a benefit comedy

show or concert combines two proven stress busters: having fun with like-minded people and contributing to a cause you care about, Wright says. “We know that social support is a huge buffer for stress, and I think you also need to take active steps to feel more in control,” Wright says. “For some, that may be going to protests and huddles and contributing money to candidates. For others, that may be volunteering at different causes, like teaching English to immigrants or working in a soup kitchen.” In fact, several D.C.-area nonprofits are seeing a surge of new volunteers, including the Washington English Center, which

“People have been coming in to deal with their stress … and that includes some Trump supporters, too,” says boxing coach Donte Brown, above.
De-stress while doing good Post-election stress got you down? These concert and comedy fundraisers can give you a double dose of relief by combining much-needed distraction with the knowledge that you’re doing something good for the world (assuming, of course, you support their causes).

helps immigrants learn English; Reading Partners, which pairs literacy tutors with underprivileged children; and We Are Family, which brings free groceries to low-income seniors, among other activities. “We have absolutely seen quite a few more volunteers, many of whom specifically refer to wanting to turn the political darkness into some sort of light by helping other people in a direct way,” says We Are Family co-director Mark Andersen. While working on causes you care about can alleviate political stress, it’s also important to give your mind a break, Wright says. If that advice is traditionally ignored by workaholic residents of the capital, it seems we’re paying attention now: D.C.-area yoga and meditation classes are bursting at the seams, studio owners report. “I’m seeing a lot of demand for classes where you break a sweat and get your mind focused on the movement and the breath and off of politics,” says Lisa SierraDavidson, a teacher at East Side Yoga in Northeast. At Take Five Meditation near Dupont Circle, students are taking advantage of quick, 30-minute meditation classes during lunch breaks. “A lot of people come in needing to pull themselves away from the 24-hour news cycle,” says studio co-founder Eldad Moraru. There are also more aggressive ways to deal with your stress. “Recently, a lot of people have been coming in to deal with their stress over whatever’s in the news, and that includes some Trump supporters, too,” says Donte Brown, who owns Donte’s Boxing Gym in Derwood, Md. Dave White, the owner of Downtown Boxing Club D.C., agrees. “There’s a definite correlation between Trump getting elected and people being stressed and coming to the gym,” he says, adding that newer clients include three female reporters and a lot of government workers “who have been training very, very regularly.” However you manage your political stress, what matters most is that you do something,

‘1984’
DC Web Fest used to just highlight the best series the internet had to offer. This year, for the festival’s fifth go-round, the celebration has been expanded to include apps, online games and virtual reality. Throughout the festival you can experience virtual tours to spots like the Great Wall of China and the Great Barrier Reef, thanks to Google Expeditions, as well as try out the immersive Experius VR. The day’s schedule includes two screening blocks — featuring web series and short films — a guest panel and an award ceremony.
For absolutely no reason whatsoever, art-house theaters across the country are showing “1984” on April 4, the day George Orwell’s novel about a totalitarian regime kicks off its story about oppression, secrecy and alternative facts. John Hurt stars in the 1984 film adaptation as Winston, a man whose job it is to rewrite history so that the schoolbooks of the future tell only the good stuff. If nothing else, you’ll find out where the TV show “Big Brother” got its name.

Jessica & Jamie & Ronna & Beverly
JAY BROOKS
Meet two (fake) Jewish mothers and the women who birthed them
COMEDY For 11 years, Jessica Chaffin and Jamie Denbo have pretended to be two people they’re not. Well, OK, there’s a little overlap. Denbo and Chaffin donned some wigs and created Ronna and Beverly — two variations of the Jewish mother archetype — back in 2006, when they were asked to host a “Jewish Kosher” comedy show at the then-new Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles. In 2011,
after a series of successful live shows, the duo started a biweekly podcast, “Ronna & Beverly,” where they discuss world events, dish in-character about what’s going on in their lives and interview celebrity guests. “[From] the minute we put those wigs on, we never really took them off,” says Denbo, who plays Beverly, the one who “thinks she’s so cool and hip and gets it,” but is also childlike, a little racist and liable to change
“Because we spend so much time being these people, we remember so much of it like it’s part of our real life.” JESSICA CHAFFIN (above left, with Jamie Denbo), on how she keeps track of her character’s backstories during Ronna and Beverly’s podcasts and live shows
her mind on a dime. (On the podcast, Beverly was an undecided voter in November’s election up until she didn’t actually make it to the polling place.) “We just clicked right away,” says Chaffin, who plays Ronna, the more liberal know-it-all who judges everything and everyone. “We go into some kind of fugue state and become these women who, I guess as we get older, more and more we’re actually becoming. We’ll cross our fingers and hope it’s not entirely true.” While they are very different from the characters they play, there are similarities. Denbo and Chaffin grew up near each other in Massachusetts — though they didn’t meet until later in life — so Ronna and Beverly are also from Massachusetts. And because they spend at least 90 minutes every two weeks improvising as these characters and building the world they inhabit for the podcast, sometimes the line between fiction and reality blurs. “Because we spend so much time being these people, we remember so much of it like it’s part of our real life,” Chaffin says. Sometimes their real lives become part of Ronna and Beverly’s world. In January, Chaffin and Denbo traveled to D.C. to participate in the Women’s March on Washington. They spent the day as themselves, but later performed in-character at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser at the 9:30 Club (where they’ll return for a seated live show Wednesday). When they recounted the trip on the podcast — including a very real interaction with a man in a Make America Great Again hat at the Hay-Adams Hotel — they told it as if Ronna and Beverly had participated in the whole thing. “We had talked about possibly [marching] as Ronna and Beverly but we felt that might look like we might be mocking it in some way,” Denbo says. “Ultimately, what was really incredible for us was congregating at the 9:30 Club afterward, because we felt like we were smack-dab in the heart of it.” RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

Peter Brook’s ‘Battlefield’
‘Singleling’
Legendary stage and film director Peter Brook returns to familiar turf with “Battlefield,” a 70-minute piece drawn from the famed nine-hour staging of “The Mahabharata,” his 1985 adaptation of the epic Indian poem. The 92-year-old Brook has distilled his meditation on war down to four actors and one musician. The production, from Brook’s Paris-based troupe Theatre des Bouffes du Nord, has already triumphed in London and New York.
On her podcast “Singleling,” Vanessa Valerio showcases love and dating stories from comedians and regular folks. The live version of the show comes to D.C. this weekend, when comedians and storytellers Jeff Simmermon, Keith Mellnick and Vijai Nathan will dish on their best (or worst) love affairs. Erika Ettin, from the dating website A Little Nudge, will offer tips for the singles in the audience.

The festival also includes live music, DJs and family-friendly activities throughout the week.

MUSIC
Vince Staples
Maya Beiser
Vince Staples, a former member of the Crips, refuses to pretend that world is as glamorous as gangstarap fantasies promise or as easily left behind as church-inspired hiphop claims. Instead, in a sequence of two EPs and a 20-song, doubledisc album, Staples, 23, has evoked that life in all its adrenaline rush, violent consequences and social entrapment. The sharp visual images and memorable aphorisms of his rhymes are reinforced by lean, spooky music full of abrupt shifts and ominous sci-fi sirens and bleeps.
Rolling Stone recently called New York-based classical cellist Maya Beiser a “cello rock star.” She began studying the instrument at a young age while growing up in Israel, but was equally drawn to rock ‘n’ roll. Her most recent album, last year’s “TranceClassical,” found her tackling Velvet Underground’s “Heroin” as well as Bach. Beiser’s equally adventurous program at Amp will include pieces by Steve Reich, Led Zeppelin and Osvaldo Golijov. Amp, 11810 Grand Park Ave., North Bethesda, Md.; Thu., 8 p.m., $25-$40.

The show’s theme is “Out of This World” and it features a magic telescope — which sounds way more high-tech than a clown car. (The circus also will pass through EagleBank Arena for an April 7-16 run.)

FOCUS FEATURES
Bob Dylan to collect his Nobel Prize
“You can’t plan anything,” Jessica Chastain says of acting with animals for “The Zookeeper’s Wife.”
Jessica Chastain’s tip? Just follow their lead. Working with animals energized the star of ‘The Zookeeper’s Wife’ FILM “As an actor, they say don’t act with animals or children,” says Jessica Chastain — who didn’t have a choice in “The Zookeeper’s Wife,” which opens Friday. Chastain plays Antonina Zabinski, a real-life woman who, with her husband, Jan (Johan Heldenbergh), used their position as owners of the Warsaw Zoo to hide hundreds of Jews during the Nazi occupation of Poland. The Zabinskis lived on the grounds and their daily lives were intertwined with those of the animals in their care. In the film, their son has a pet skunk, lion cubs cuddle on the Zabinskis’ bed like puppies, and an ostrich follows Antonina as she does her morning rounds on her bicycle. Director Niki Caro (“Whale Rider”) wanted Chastain and the rest of her cast to have the
same intimacy with their furrier co-stars. “She didn’t want the animals to be directed,” Chastain says. “She didn’t want anyone to say, ‘OK, the animal needs to come over here and stop here and jump up.’ It created an environment they could come into and I would act around them. It wasn’t that we were leading them; they were leading us.” Some actors would be unnerved taking cues from animals, but Chastain found it exhilarating. “When you act with an animal, you don’t know what they’re going to do,” she says. “You can’t plan anything or show up with an expectation; you have to just be open to your scene partner, to what they’re presenting and figure out how to work around it.” That human-animal bond gave Chastain (“Interstellar”) new insight into her character. “Antonina believed all living creatures were equal; it didn’t matter what species you were,” Chastain says.
“When making a film about that bond between living creatures, it was so important to me to try to create that bond with the animals themselves while shooting.” The real-life Antonina hoped to share her rewarding experience with animals with the hundreds of people she and her husband hid at the zoo, most of whom Jan smuggled out of Warsaw’s Jewish ghetto in his truck. A refugee herself who fled Russia for Poland as a young woman, Antonina found the comfort she needed in the squawks and roars that echoed through the zoo — and she wanted to share that comfort with others. “She was able to create her safe space, her sanctuary, when she got there,” Chastain says. “So for her, animals helped heal her trauma of what she went through as a child, and she knows through that interspecies love that she can introduce those people who are suffering to the healing powers of all living creatures.”
The Swedish Academy won’t have to hang on to the Nobel Prize intended for its elusive winner for much longer. Bob Dylan, who was awarded the prize in literature last October, dodged phone calls from the academy for days before finally acknowledging the honor and eventually sending his regrets for not attending the December ceremony. Dylan is now headed to Stockholm for some shows this weekend, and so the academy will go to him, the organization said in a statement Wednesday. The academy “is very much looking forward to the weekend” and will attend a Dylan concert, but added that the setting of their meeting will be “small and intimate, and no media will be present,” in line with his wishes.

Q+A
For Fonda and Tomlin, age is just a number “Grace and Frankie’s” new season has Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin’s title characters, confidantes in their 70s, selling vibrators for older women. Here, the actresses discuss aging and female sexuality. LISA BONOS (TWP) What does this storyline mean for you? Do you see female pleasure as connected to women’s [wellness]? Fonda: It means you don’t have to have a man! … It’s not critical that every woman wants to stay juiced up. But if they do, it’s perfectly fine. Do you sense why the show’s appeal spans generations? Tomlin: We never expected it to hit so many chords for so many different people. Fonda: What [we] hear very often is women saying to us: “It makes us feel less afraid of getting older. It makes us feel hopeful.” In terms of women’s sexuality as represented on television, what would you like to see? Tomlin: Just people taking it as a matter of course. It should be expected. It shouldn’t be threatening or so fearful. What kind of characters would you like to see more of? Fonda: Good, multidimensional, complex women — of any age, but especially older women. I’m so happy about “Big Little Lies,” for example. Seeing the complexities of women’s lives, and seeing women interacting together, is really great.

trending “Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain’t callin ...” the photo to the right, British Prime Minster Theresa May was writing the letter rapper Eminem references in his 2000 song “Stan.” May signed the Article 50 letter, which formally invokes the process of the U.K. removing itself from the European Union, on Tuesday (before it was delivered to the EU on Wednesday) and created a meme in the process. Social media users made jokes about what she could have been writing. “LOL I have no idea what I’m doing,” @RossalynWarren captioned the photo. British pop singer Lily Allen even joined in, tweeting that May was sending EU the name of Drake’s fourth album: “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.”

DIFFICULT
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may have to serve as an intermediary between two parties engaged in a self-made conflict. A solution is close. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’re not about to be held back, held down, or held up in any way. Once out in the open, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may decide to relinquish control — but only temporarily — to see what happens when someone else is in the driver’s seat. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may not be affected by things in the same way as a friend or loved one. Any conflict that arises can be quickly solved.
WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You can
do much to improve someone’s performance on the social scene. He or she has much to learn.
WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your spirits may not be as bright as expected, but this can be remedied by concentrating on key friendship issues. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may have to engage in something that is wholly foreign to you in order to prove that you’re ready for anything.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may be asked to do something for which there is little or no time, but you can come up with an acceptable alternative.
TODAY: More of an onshore flow develops, with light winds from the east and southeast. That helps turn skies partly to mostly cloudy, which limits our afternoon highs to the low 50s. Our next system moving in from the west could bring scattered showers, with the chance increasing through the evening and overnight.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Random events are hardly random, and a chance encounter is nothing of the kind. You know this to be true. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll be noticed, surely. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’re likely to be publicly acknowledged as well.

‘Find out on next season’s KUWTK!’
Fan pro tip: Don’t do this A stranger reportedly showed up at actress Chloe Grace Moretz’s doorstep uninvited with cookies. TMZ reported that the man, “who looked about 18,” showed up “on a skateboard with a container full of treats.” Law enforcement told TMZ that Moretz was inside her home, but didn’t answer the door, instead reporting him to authorities. The man reportedly went to the neighbors asking if Moretz was home. (EXPRESS)

All the kids are jealous of the popular guy in school A source told the New York Post that fellow “Good Morning America” anchors are upset at ABC bosses for giving Michael Strahan special treatment: “They roll out the carpet for [Strahan] while seasoned talent is treated like dirt. He’s been given a lot of opportunity, flexibility, when the others who have been working there longer don’t get that kind of treatment.” (EXPRESS)
