page three Case of the hot cooking grease NORTHERN VIRGINIA The heist began with a thief backing up a large, white box truck behind a Fairfax County mall around 3:30 a.m. one day in early April, according to a search warrant. The man was not looking for cash or electronics, but something stranger: used cooking grease. He siphoned about 150 gallons of the stinking, viscous liquid from a dumpster behind a Burger King before a police officer patrolling Annandale Shopping Center arrested him, according to the search warrant, filed in Fairfax County. The crime is not new, but law enforcement officials say thieves are targeting the stuff used to make french fries and fried chicken anew because of a runup in biodiesel prices in the past couple of years. Cooking grease can be turned into the fuel, creating a surprisingly lucrative black market. The National Renderers Association estimates up to $75 million worth of old cooking grease is stolen each year.

Recent arrest shows how used oil can be a thief’s lucrative target
Cooking grease thieves target dumpsters like this one in Fairfax County.
“I’ve been a detective for three years,” said Jeremy W. LeVan, who worked the Fairfax County case. “It’s at the top of the oddest things I’ve seen stolen so far.” LeVan said six grease thefts have been reported in Fairfax County over the past year, but he suspects many go unreported. Restaurants typically contract with a rendering company to haul off cooking grease. The company pays the restaurant a fee and then recycles and sells the grease for components used in such things as biofuel, animal feed or fats used in perfume.
An image from surveillance footage shows a driver who police say stole cooking grease from a dumpster in Fairfax County.
Charles Gittins, a corporate lawyer and law enforcement liaison for Valley Proteins of Winchester, Va., said his company lost $5 million in grease thefts and an additional $1 million in damage to locking grease dumpsters in 2015, the last year it calculated totals. His company was also the victim in the recent Fairfax County case. “You can make $10,000 in a night,” Gittins said of grease theft. “You buy a junker truck. You buy a 275-gallon container at a tractor supply store. You get a pump, and you’re in business. You can run five nights a week.” Gittins and LeVan said the Washington area — particularly Fairfax and Prince George’s counties — is a hotbed of grease theft because the concentration of restaurants is high. The man arrested for the theft at the Annandale shopping center told police he was part of a group that travels around Northern Virginia and Maryland stealing grease. LeVan said grease thieves typically work in the early morning and sometimes wear protective coveralls or construction vests to create the impression they are on legitimate business.

Metro asks rail bidders to spend money locally TRANSPORTATION As Metro prepares to award a major contract to a foreign company to build its next generation of rail cars, it is asking firms bidding for the deal to spend some money in the D.C. region and possibly build an assembly plant here. The transit agency in February told manufacturers seeking to build the 8000-series vehicles that they must describe how they would provide economic benefits for the area. Metro is asking bidders for the main contract to agree to make “a good-faith effort” to spend
8 percent of the total value of the deal on small businesses and local subcontractors. That means tens of millions of dollars would flow to such firms: The contract to purchase as many as 800 rail cars is expected to exceed $1 billion. It is the first time Metro has set a specific goal for investing capital dollars in the local economy. It did so in part in response to last year’s historic decision by the District, Maryland and Virginia to provide $500 million a year in dedicated funding for the agency, Metro officials said.

“We believe that Metro has a responsibility, not only to spend this money effectively and wisely rebuilding the system, but also [to] support our regional economy and create local jobs whenever possible,” said John Kuo, Metro’s executive vice president for internal business operation. Metro also has raised the share of overall contracts to be awarded to firms owned by minorities and women. It has increased from 18 percent to 22 percent its participation goal for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. ROBERT McCARTNEY

D.C. plans to crack down on drivers who park in or block bike lanes and put cyclists at risk by creating a team of bike-lane enforcement officers with the power to issue tickets on the scene and by mail. Starting this fall, that new team, along with all traffic enforcement officers, will no longer be restricted to placing violation notices on vehicle windshields. The enforcement, officials hope, will help change a hazardous practice by many drivers to park or idle on the bike lanes to deliver goods or drop off and pick up passengers. The crackdown is part of an enhanced effort to deter bad behaviors that contribute to road injuries. Last year the District logged 36 traffic deaths, up from 31 in 2017 and the highest in a decade, according to records. (TWP)

Dems face messaging challenge
weekendd re win
AP
President Trump summarized the Mueller report in four words: “No collusion. No obstruction.”
LITTLETON, COLO.
20 years after shooting, Columbine honors 13 lost
POLITICS President Trump summarized the special counsel report on the day of its release with four words in all caps — “NO COLLUSION. NO OBSTRUCTION.” The first two were not addressed by the report. The second two falsely described Robert Mueller’s findings. But the pithy declaration, set in a Game of Thrones “Game Over” meme and repeated frequently by Trump’s surrogates on television, helped to establish a reading of the report’s implications that Trump would embrace in the days to come. In response, Democratic leaders offered no memes or catchphrases of their own. They called instead for less redaction of the document and more congressional hearings. It was an appropriate coda for an investigation that has always pitted at its core a nuanced examination of fact and law against the blunt force of Trump’s sloganeering. For Democrats aiming to topple Trump in the 2020 election, the contrast was a stark reminder of the challenges ahead in a country where political information travels largely through polarized channels that can be shaped by a president fluent in angry denunciations of his enemies, tribal appeals to his base and frequent misdirection. On its face, the Mueller report
revealed damning details of Trump’s attempts to interfere in a federal investigation and his campaign’s multiple contacts with Russian officials, some of whom sought to help him in the 2016 election. But the political impact of the report’s release is uncertain, and it is unlikely to trigger his impeachment. Of the 18 Democratic candidates running for president, only former housing secretary Julian Castro and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., have called for impeachment proceedings. Most strategists planning for the general election campaign against Trump expect to focus far less on Trump’s behavior and personal qualities than Hillary Clinton did in the 2016 election. “If in a year I am talking about the Mueller report, I am losing,” said Jefrey Pollock, a Democratic pollster who advises the presidential campaign of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, N.Y. “Because the election is going to be about the economy.” By leaving behind the daily spectacle of Trump’s provocations, they see a chance to return to the 2018 playbook to focus on issues that more directly affect voters. The Democrats won the midterm elections with economic arguments and a focused message about Republican efforts to reduce access to affordable health care. “Donald Trump wins in a reality show and loses in reality,”

Trump puts his spin on Mueller’s report, overwhelming legal nuances of findings
Is Trump impeachable? House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Sunday that the House Democratic caucus will meet in the coming weeks to discuss whether to pursue impeachment proceedings against President Trump, but he added that he doesn’t believe the Senate would convict Trump if the House were to impeach him. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said Sunday that “if proven,” Trump’s alleged obstruction of justice “would be impeachable.” (TWP)
said Jesse Ferguson, a Democratic strategist who worked on Clinton’s 2016 campaign. “If he is able to brand things like a reality show host, he will win the debate. But that only works until people start to see the consequences.” House Democrats, meanwhile,
are preparing a rival reality show of their own through hearings with Attorney General William Barr and others. Ultimately, to fight back, Democrats in Congress will have to find a way to engage Trump on his own terms, with clear messaging and repeated talking points, something they struggled to do in the first days after the Mueller report. The marching orders are clear, said Brian Fallon, a Democratic strategist who also worked for Clinton’s 2016 campaign. “Conduct a follow-through investigation out of the committees that is really just an attempt to enter into the record that which most of the public will never read in the Mueller report,” he said. “Turn it into something that gets played out on a very public stage.” Trump will be waiting with a top-rated reality show of his own.

Easter blasts kill 200
Sri Lankan official describes bombings of 3 churches and 3 hotels as a terrorist attack N. Ireland sees a ‘new breed’ of terrorists

Two Muslim groups in Sri Lanka condemned the church attacks, as did countries around the world, and Pope Francis expressed condolences at the end of his traditional Easter Sunday blessing in Rome. “I want to express my loving closeness to the Christian community, targeted while they were gathered in prayer, and all the victims of such cruel violence,” Francis said. BHARATHA MALLAWARACHI
LONDONDERRY, N. IRELAND Police in Northern Ireland arrested two teenagers Saturday in the fatal shooting of a journalist during rioting in Londonderry and warned of a “new breed” of terrorists threatening the peace. The men, aged 18 and 19, were detained under anti-terrorism legislation and taken to Belfast for questioning, the Police Service of Northern Ireland said. Police believe the shooter had organizational support. Authorities said Lyra McKee, 29, above, a rising star of investigative journalism, was shot and killed, likely by a bullet aimed at police during rioting that began Thursday night. Police said the New IRA dissident group was most likely responsible and called it a “terrorist act.” The use of a firearm apparently aimed at police marks an escalation in sporadic violence that still plagues Northern Ireland 21 years after the Good Friday peace agreement was signed. The New IRA group rejects the agreement. The riot followed a pattern familiar to those who lived through Northern Ireland’s worst years of violence. Police arrived in the Creggan neighborhood to search for weapons and dissidents. They were barraged with gasoline bombs and other flying objects. Then, someone in a black mask appeared, fired shots and fled.

CHAMILA KARUNARATHNE (AP)
COLOMBO, SRI LANKA More than 200 people were killed and hundreds more wounded in nine bomb blasts that rocked churches, luxury hotels and other sites in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday — the deadliest violence the South Asian island country has seen since a bloody civil war ended a decade ago. Defense Minister Ruwan Wijewardena described the bombings as a terrorist attack by religious extremists, and police said 13 suspects were arrested, though there was no immediate claim of responsibility. Wijewardena said most of the blasts were believed to have been suicide attacks. The nearly simultaneous explosions at three churches and three hotels — most of them in or around Colombo, the capital — collapsed ceilings and blew out windows, killing worshippers and hotel guests in one scene after another of smoke, soot, blood, broken glass, screams and wailing alarms. Victims were carried out of blood-spattered pews. “People were being dragged out,” said Bhanuka Harischandra, of Colombo, a 24-year-old founder of a tech marketing company who was going to the city’s Shangri-La Hotel for a meeting when it was bombed. “People didn’t know what was going on. It was panic mode.” He added: “There was blood everywhere.” Most of those killed were Sri Lankans. But the three hotels and one of the churches, St. Anthony’s Shrine, are frequented by foreign tourists, and Sri Lanka’s Foreign Ministry said the bodies of at least 27 foreigners from a variety of countries were recovered. The U.S. said “several” American were among the dead, while Britain, China and Portugal said they, too, lost citizens.
Police inspect damage at the Shangri-La Hotel, one of the bomb sites in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka.
Police spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara said at least 207 people were killed and 450 wounded. He said police found a safe house and a van used by the attackers. Sri Lanka, situated off the southern tip of India, is about 70 percent Buddhist, with the rest of the population Muslim, Hindu or Christian. While there have been scattered incidents of anti-Christian harassment in recent years, there had been nothing on the scale of what happened Sunday.

UKRAINE A comedian whose only political experience consists of playing a president on TV appeared headed for a landslide victory in Ukraine’s real-life presidential election Sunday. Exit poll results released after voting stations closed showed sitcom star Volodymyr Zelenskiy receiving an extraordinary 73.2% to President Petro Poroshenko’s 25.3%. If borne out by election returns, the overwhelming victory by Zelenskiy will stand as a crushing rebuke to Poroshenko’s five years in office and a verdict on the country’s deep-seated corruption, sickly economy and fiveyear war against Russian-backed separatists in the country’s east that has killed over 13,000 people. Even before the release of any
official returns in the two-man runoff, Poroshenko accepted defeat, saying, “I am leaving office, but I want to firmly underline that I am not leaving politics.” Zelenskiy, for his part, vowed: “I promise I will never let you down.” And he suggested his apparent victory could be a model for other former Soviet states that want to move forward from ossified politics. He said his No. 1 order of business is to secure the release of the roughly 170 Ukrainian military members held prisoner by the separatists or the Russians. Zelenskiy, 41, was criticized for a vague campaign platform and having never held public office. But voters appeared to cast aside those concerns in favor of a thorough sweep of Ukraine’s political leadership. YURAS KARMANAU (AP)

The three judges have rejected the administration’s arguments that asking about citizenship won’t harm accuracy and that the information is needed to help enforce provisions of the federal Voting Rights Act. The Census Bureau’s consistent view since the 1960 census has been that asking everyone about citizenship “would produce a less accurate population count,” five former agency directors who served in Democratic and Republic administrations wrote in a Supreme Court brief.

Hunkered down in their hives and drunk on smoke, Notre Dame’s 180,000 bees survived the inferno that consumed the cathedral’s ancient wooden roof. “Instead of killing them, the [carbon dioxide from smoke] makes them drunk, puts them to sleep,” Notre Dame beekeeper Nicolas Geant said Friday. Three hives were installed in 2013 to help boost Paris’ bee population. (AP)

Tom Wilson and the Capitals got more physical with the Hurricanes in Game 5.

Trotz awaits a potential Caps reunion
CAPITALS AT HURRICANES | GAME 6: 7 TONIGHT, NBCSN
A test of toughness After a brief identity crisis, the Caps have returned to their menacing, physical play STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS Maybe Hurricanes defenseman Dougie Hamilton thought an icing was coming as he and Alex Ovechkin pursued a puck down the ice in Game 5. But Ovechkin has a different theory for why Hamilton suddenly bailed, leaving a loose puck for Ovechkin to snag and then pass to the front of the net for a Brett Connolly goal. Ovechkin and other Capitals had been tossing the Hurricanes aside all game with crushing hits, so maybe Hamilton just didn’t want to be next. “I think it’s that we hit their D,” Ovechkin said. “I don’t know, he just stopped skating.” T he C apita ls h ave a n
abundance of skill and speed, but they’re also big, from the 235-pound Ovechkin to 6-foot-4, 218-pound Tom Wilson to 6-foot3, 217-pound Brooks Orpik. In an NHL that’s shifted toward a quick transition game, Washington is a rare hybrid with the personnel to excel at that style while also slowing down an opposing team with a bruising forecheck. Through the first four games of this first-round series, the Capitals had taken more hits than they had dished out, especially where it concerned Carolina’s defensemen. In Saturday night’s 6-0 win to take a 3-2 series lead, Washington rediscovered its muscle:
The Capitals were credited with 48 hits, 14 of those on the Hurricanes’ blue-liners. “No matter who you are, when you have to keep going back over and over and over and you’re getting hit, to break the puck out, I mean it takes a toll,” Caps forward Devante Smith-Pelly said. “You saw that in the second and third period. Those guys are playing big minutes and we’re making it hard on them.” With T.J. Oshie sidelined with a broken collarbone, the Capitals recalled Smith-Pelly from the American Hockey League before Saturday’s game. While they were hopeful he could provide the kind of depth scoring
he did a year ago — he was a hero of the team’s Stanley Cup run with seven goals, equaling his regular-season total — the more realistic expectation was that he’d provide a physical spark Washington had been missing. He’s listed at 223 pounds, and on his first shift, he hit Carolina forward Nino Niederreiter, garnering applause from a home crowd happy to see him back. “We knew we needed more physical investment, particularly on their defensemen,” coach Todd Reirden said. “That was a discussion point for us, and something we felt that could give us a better chance to have success.”
After the Islanders finished off a sweep of the Penguins last week, coach Barry Trotz turned his attention toward preparing for his team’s second-round opponent — the winner of the Capitals-Hurricanes series. “I know Washington fairly well,” the former Caps coach told reporters Thursday, eliciting laughter. “Just saying. Honestly, I’m weighted right now to watching Carolina a little bit more, because I just don’t know them quite as well.” Trotz, who was the seventh NHL coach since the start of the expansion era in 1967 to not return to his team after winning a title, said he’s “not looking back.” He added: “Yeah, there’s things that you remember and all that, but trust me, I’m going to want to beat ‘em as bad as they want to beat me.” (TWP)

Capitals forward T.J. Oshie had surgery Friday on his fractured right clavicle, suffered during Thursday’s Game 4. On Sunday, coach Todd Reirden said Oshie was “back home and rehabbing” with an indefinite timetable for his return. The Capitals dedicated their 6-0 victory in Game 5 on Saturday night to Oshie, whose name was chanted repeatedly by the Capital One Arena crowd in the third period.

1 ‘Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner’ 10 p.m. Saturday on TBS
Existential exploration Hulu’s ‘Ramy’ is a prime example of how a good dramedy can open up your world TV REVIEW The half-hour dramedy format, which began on premium cable and now populates the streaming networks, may well hold the solution to TV’s age-old Beaver Cleaver diversity problem. Hulu’s “Ramy” (which arrived Friday) is another strong yet artfully subtle example of what this emerging genre can accomplish, with moments that are as revealing and memorable as any show that ever set out to portray what it’s like to be different in a culture that favors the familiar. It’s a 10-episode dramedy starring actor and comedian Ramy Youssef as a version of himself — Ramy Hassan, a 30-year-old man who lives at the New Jersey
home of his Egyptian Palestinian immigrant parents (Amr Waked and Hiam Abbass) while making an earnest effort to reconcile his Muslim faith with the everyday temptations of secular life. In one obvious regard, “Ramy” is way overdue as a show that features Muslim characters — at least one that doesn’t also feature a ticking bomb and a crate full of assault rifles. Instead, “Ramy” is about as chill as a show can get, a personal family drama that is rich with inside humor about prejudices and culture clashes. Aside from the choice to not make his character a comedian, what’s most striking is “Ramy’s” central focus on Islam, as Ramy struggles to regularly attend
‘Ramy’ gets real Despite being co-created by comic Ramy Youssef, very little of “Ramy” qualifies as comedy, aside from the tacit understanding between the producers and the viewers that life is just always a couple notches short of absurd. It’s a similar mood to Donald Glover’s “Atlanta,” which means that “Ramy” is best when it is painfully real and melancholy. H.S.
prayers at the mosque, observe a Ramadan fast and steer clear of sex, his biggest temptation. Ramy’s parents have drifted from practicing their faith, yet they keep their culture’s social strictures intact. They pester
Ramy to marry. They give him more personal freedom than his sister, Dena (May Calamawy), who must constantly report her plans and whereabouts. Ramy drifts along in a sort of permanent existential crisis, searching for that sweet spot between being devout and breaking free. Ramy eventually lets his spiritual crisis take him to Cairo to immerse himself in Muslim culture and visit relatives. This experience is rife with contradictions, leaving him with more questions than answers. That’s good news: As with any show that is absorbingly personal and refreshingly new, you can’t help but want to see more and know more.

Real-life comedian Ramy Youssef spared viewers by not playing a comedian in his dramedy “Ramy.”

I was just on a trip to Oxford, where I saw zero witches or vampires. Odd, because in “A Discovery of Witches,” which filmed scenes in the historic English town, these creatures lurk in the shadows of ancient spires and in quaint alleyways. The series originated in the U.K. last fall and launched this month on AMC and BBC
America (9 p.m. Sundays). Ratings are good — perhaps because it follows “Killing Eve,” or because supernatural soap operas are such cheesy fun. In the show, which is based on the “All Souls” trilogy by Deborah Harkness, humans rule the world. Demons, vampires and witches “have all but disappeared,” as Matthew Clairmont (Matthew Goode), the show’s 1,500-year-old leading vamp, puts it. Those who

an academic,” she proclaims. Goode delivers ridiculous lines with menace and foreboding, but also a wee hint of mockery to indicate he knows
how hokey the writing is. When Diana obtains a long-lost magical book, he states that maybe “it wasn’t missing. [Dramatic pause.] Perhaps it was waiting.” Matthew and Diana are falling in love, even though the supernatural rulebook states that “interspecies relationships” are a no-no. But no matter how the storyline goes, we’ll always have Oxford — and Venice, too. The on-location shots of beautiful ancient buildings and bridges really do sweep the viewer into another world, casting a spell more powerful than any witch’s incantation.

“Ben and Jerry’s, serving facts with every scoop.” @MISTERRUDEMAN, tweeting after Ben
& Jerry’s used 4/20 as an opportunity to talk about racial injustices around marijuana legalization. The ice cream company issued a public service announcement and called on Congress to expunge cannabis convictions. “Nothing but respect for my 2020 president and vice president, Ben and Jerry,” @th0tcouture tweeted.
“Ancestry, it wasn’t a love story. White men were raping black women. We didn’t forget. Do better.” @KCOLEFASHO, calling out Ancestry for an ad that showed what seems to be a white man during the slavery era asking a black woman to flee with him to the North so they could be together. “Why do white people insist on romanticizing my black female ancestors’ experiences with white men during slavery?” @TalbertSwan asked. Ancestry apologized on Thursday and said it is in the process of pulling the ad.

“Kanye wants to be taken seriously as a designer but continually makes clothes with no artistic value and relies heavily on his name to sell overpriced merch.” @WIFIWINSTON_, tweeting about Kanye West’s merchandise tent at Coachella over the weekend. The item included crew neck sweatshirts that said “Holy Spirit” and reportedly retailed for $165 to $225.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) What you hear through official channels today is worth noting, but it is no reason for you to change your modus operandi. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Even the subtlest of changes can have farreaching effects. You’ll want to pursue a certain line of inquiry until you get the answers you seek. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are trying to solve a mystery, even if you don’t realize it. You have been overlooking an important clue. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It’s essential that you maintain a delicate balance today between what you think and what you feel. You can ignore neither. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The simplest approach is often the most effective, and today you’ll be reminded of this on at least two occasions.

FRIDAY’S SOLUTION
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You receive a proposition of sorts that gives you pause. You cannot help but wonder what someone else’s motives may be at this juncture. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) An answer comes to you more quickly today than usual. Someone distracts you at a point when you can afford to be distracted.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may have less to prove today than you think, but that doesn’t mean you don’t want to put your best foot forward.
TODAY: Partly cloudy skies hang around as we find ourselves on the outer edge of high pressure centered to our west and south. Highs head back to around 70 with just a slight chance of a shower. Light winds blow from the northwest around 5 to 10 mph. Temperatures tonight fall into the low 50s.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will be eager to know what’s going on just out of earshot on several occasions today. Why not simply ask? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Things may get complicated quite suddenly today, but you’re prepared for almost anything. You’re curious about another’s behavior.

Adele reveals subject matter of next album
Michelle, Phil quietly end brief union Michelle Williams and Phil Elverum have separated, a source confirmed Friday. The 38-year-old Oscarnominated actress and the 40-year-old musician wed last July in upstate New York. This was the first marriage for Williams, who has a daughter with the late Heath Ledger. Elverum was previously married to the late musician and illustrator Genevieve Castree, with whom he has a daughter. (AP)
Adele and husband Simon Konecki have separated. The pop singer’s representatives confirmed the news Friday in a statement to the AP. “Adele and her partner have separated,” the emailed statement said. “They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.” Adele gave birth to their son, Angelo, in 2012. The Grammywinning British superstar has been private about her relationship, but confirmed she married Konecki when she won album of the year at the 2017 Grammys. Konecki co-founded Life Water, an eco-friendly brand of bottled water in the U.K. (AP)
