D.C. will soon be seeing stars DINING The Washington food scene’s decade of dramatic transformation has brought us artisanal toast, $22 cocktails and numerous accolades. Now, the city’s foodscape will be recognized by one of the world’s highest arbiters of culinary taste: the Michelin Guide. Michelin announced Tuesday that it has already deployed its famously anonymous inspectors throughout Washington restaurants — news sure to strike fear in the hearts of chefs and servers — in anticipation of the city’s first Michelin Guide, which will go on sale Oct. 13. Once it does, Washington will join the ranks of such culinary destinations around the world as Paris, London and Tokyo. It will be only the fourth American city to be the subject of a current Michelin Guide, after New York, San Francisco and Chicago. (Michelin previously published guides in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, but it ceased evaluating both cities in 2010 for economic and geographical reasons, a Michelin

spokesman said.) “D.C. was a logical choice. It’s a very cosmopolitan city. It has a growing and thriving food scene,” said Michael Ellis, international director for the Michelin Guides. Other criteria that contributed to the decision were the diversity of cuisines and the city’s stature — which Ellis said makes it “of interest to the Michelin group.” The tire manufacturer introduced its guide in 1900 as a way to encourage people to take road

The guides cover 27 countries, and there are only nine individual city guides, with D.C., Shanghai and Seoul to come. Restaurants are evaluated for their creativity, ingredient quality, value and consistency, among other factors, to determine their rating. Michelin inspectors, who are trained in France, have been surreptitiously dining in D.C. restaurants since the fall. And venues in the city will be on high alert, because reviewers still have more eating to do: They will continue making visits throughout the summer, so the newest additions to the city’s fine dining scene, like Aaron Silverman’s Pineapple and Pearls and Eric Ziebold’s Metier, still can be included. “Are you serious? That is crazy,” Silverman said. Chefs “always talk about it. People ask me [when Michelin will come], and I’m like, ‘Maybe one day.’ ” Earning Michelin stars is “something that a lot of people think about and dream about,” Silverman said.

Review finds flaws in child abuse reporting Prince George’s school system lacks proper safeguards, report says
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY
Bear sightings reported near Va. schools
MARK GAIL (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)
PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY There are major flaws in how employees are trained on detecting sexual abuse of students in the Prince George’s County school system and a lack of understanding about what behaviors should be reported to authorities, according to a task force report released Tuesday. The report offers a sweeping look at issues the school system should address in the wake of one of the largest recent sexual abuse cases in the D.C. region, and indicates the Maryland school district’s procedures need numerous improvements to protect students. The document follows the February arrest of school volunteer Deonte Carraway, 22, who according to police directed children as young as 9 to perform sex acts and video-recorded them. Carraway has been charged with child pornography and child sexual abuse. The 50-page report found shortcomings across the system, including safeguards that ought to be in place but aren’t, inadequate safeguards, and safeguards that could be effective but are not enforced or monitored for compliance. Among the task force’s findings is that the school system’s current training on sexual abuse of

pupils offers no explicit signs to employees or students on how to identify abuse and no explanations of behaviors adults use to groom and manipulate their victims. For students, material used in high school level classes that addresses how to recognize and alert school staff to sexual abuse “is woefully outdated and frequently employs vague, unclear, or incorrect terminology,” according to an expert who reviewed class materials for the task force. Staff training on student sexual abuse issues was inconsistent across the system and in two training sessions personally attended by task force members, instructors giving guidance to school volunteers fell short. “School system employees who deliver the training, while
well-intentioned, are not subject matter experts and may not be able to sufficiently respond to questions or concerns raised during training,” the report said. The report also says that the guidelines for reporting suspected abuse have lacked clarity in past years. “There is a severe lack of accountability at all levels,” according to a community comment included in the report. “If employees aren’t informed of their duties and responsibilities as well as the consequences should they choose not to uphold those duties and responsibilities, some employees will take advantage of the system because they know there are no consequences for their actions.” DONNA ST.

Police and school officials in western Prince William County responded to bear sightings at a couple of schools. School system spokesman Phil Kavits said a bear was seen Tuesday morning at PACE West school in Gainesville. A bear was later seen at Tyler Elementary, also in Gainesville. School officials there moved activities inside and called police as a precaution. Police spokesman Nathan Probus said they received a report that a bear had tried to paw its way into a car in the Tyler parking lot. Police and animal control officers were at the school Tuesday afternoon if needed. School officials also reported a bear sighting Friday at Tyler. Probus said bear sightings in the more rural, western part of the county have increased recently. (AP)

local THE DISTRICT The D.C. Council pressed forward Tuesday to declare fiscal independence from Congress, approving a $13.4 billion spending plan despite a vote by House Republicans last week warning District leaders against the action. With the unanimous vote, the District is poised to implement a 2013 ballot measure approved by city voters that directs their leaders to spend local tax dollars without congressional approval — acting more like an independent state than a federal territory controlled by Congress.
House Republicans last week passed a measure calling the move a violation of the Constitution and the authority it gives Congress to oversee D.C. On the day of the vote, House Speaker Paul Ryan said the “current D.C. government needs to be reined in.” The council also approved a plan to close the city’s dilapidated family homeless shelter at D.C. General Hospital and replace it with a network of seven smaller shelters to be constructed in neighborhoods across the city. Despite months of arguments between the mayor and council

REGION A reported 18 people in Virginia have known cases of the Zika virus, according to the latest numbers from the state’s health department. The state does weekly reporting of the number of Zika cases, officials said. That latest count is as of May 26. In Maryland, 17 people reportedly have the virus and four in the District have it, according to figures the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released May 25. Nationally, there are 591 cases, according to the CDC. Those who have the virus were infected while traveling outside the United States. But officials warn that that could change as the number of bugs increases in warmer weather. The Zika virus has also been found in the Aedes albopictus, a species of mosquito that is known as the “Asian tiger” and ranges as far north as New England. The discovery means the number of U.S. states that are at risk for transmission of the Zika virus has expanded. Authorities have said the southern United States is particularly susceptible to the spread of Zika,

given the warm, humid climate in those states. The White House has asked Congress for about $1.9 billion to help local and state officials prepare for an outbreak of Zika this summer. The money would go to mosquito control efforts such as spraying and larvacide. Dr. Alison Ansher, health director for Virginia’s health department in the Prince William County district, said part of the challenge in tracking the Zika virus is that a large percentage of people who become infected don’t immediately display symptoms. Symptoms of the Zika virus include rash, fever, joint pain and conjunctivitis. Typically, the symptoms are mild, and many people who have the virus may not realize it, health experts said.

New awards commend police for their restraint
Bikes as quiet as an electric toothbrush
CRIME A few police agencies in the U.S. have begun rewarding officers for showing restraint in the line of duty, putting the tactic on par with bravery. More than 40 Philadelphia officers have received awards since December for defusing conflicts without shooting, clubbing or using maximum force against anyone. The Los Angeles Police Department recently created a Preservation of Life award. And later this year, the U.S. Justice Department’s new Community Policing Awards will recognize officers who prevent tense situations from spinning out of control. The awards reflect a growing emphasis on “de-escalation” in police work, a trend driven in part by the deadly shootings of blacks in such places as Ferguson, Mo.; Cleveland; Chicago; and North Charleston, S.C. The killings have given rise to accusations of excessive force. Advocates say that encouraging de-escalation as part of police culture can help establish trust with the public. But critics warn that the emphasis on de-escalation could lead officers to hesitate in life-threatening situations. Philadelphia officer Eric Tyler was recognized for using a stun

gun instead of a firearm on a suspect who threatened to shoot Tyler’s colleague in February. Tyler, who has never shot anyone in his 12-year career, said he considered using deadly force but made a split-second decision not to. “I thought better of it, and our training took over,” Tyler said. “With everything that’s going on in policing, sometimes you have to think to de-escalate things. Somebody has to be a calming force.” The suspect turned out to be unarmed. The Police Executive Research Forum, a law enforcement think tank, has found that officers receive significantly less training in de-escalation than in firearms or self-defense.
Increasingly, agencies are discussing and adopting deescalation tactics. The establishment of Philadelphia’s award was one of the recommendations issued by the Justice Department after it investigated a 2013 increase in shootings by the city’s police. Such awards are key to changing the mentality inside law enforcement, said Phillip Goff, director of the Center for Policing Equity, a think tank. The idea has met resistance from critics in law enforcement who fear officers might secondguess themselves with tragic consequences. The Los Angeles police union called the award “a a terrible idea.” ERRIN HAINES WHACK (AP)

Some departments put emphasis on defusing conflicts without guns
The military is funding stealth motorcycles, which would allow riders to quickly sneak up on unsuspecting enemies. The motorcycles operate at 55 decibels — about the level of an electric toothbrush or typical conversation — yet still can reach 80 mph in speed. The extreme quiet is due to the use of electric motors. The motorcycles feature two-wheel drive to improve traction on challenging terrain where some military vehicles can’t go. The electric motors have limited range, so the motorcycles are modified with hybrid engines that can burn almost any type of fuel, such as gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene or diesel.

Heartbreaking photo captures refugees’ plight At first, the baby looked as “if it were alive.” But when a German rescuer who gave his name as Martin looked closer, he noticed the “shining, friendly but motionless eyes” and the body that looked like a doll with its “arms and tiny fingers stretched toward the sky.” The baby was one of at least 25 drowning victims discovered by Martin and his colleagues in the sea between Libya and Italy on Friday, he said in an email. “Nobody in our boat talked. Only six hours ago this baby had still been alive,” he recalled. According to the German aid group Sea-Watch, the baby was on a boat with dozens of other Europe-bound migrants that sank. At least 45 of them died and 135 were rescued, it said. According to Martin, most of the other drowned refugees were women; two of them appeared to have been pregnant. Since May 21, more than 1,000 migrants have died in the Mediterranean Sea as their boats sank, according to data released by the International Organization for Migration on Tuesday. Amid the surge in victims, Sea-Watch released the photo Monday. It was first published by Reuters. “I hope this photo helps to put a spotlight on the countless other people who have drowned silently and who wanted nothing apart from a better future,” the German rescuer said.

‘Shield’ actor convicted of murder in killing of wife
N. Korea state media offers support for Donald Trump
About 45.8 million people around the world are trapped in modern slavery, a charity said Tuesday — almost a third more than it estimated two years ago. The Walk Free Foundation’s Global Slavery Index said that India has by far the largest number of modern slaves, 18.35 million, followed by China with 3.39 million and Pakistan with 2.13 million. North Korea was found to have the highest per capita rate of modern slavery, with 4.37 percent of its population affected. The report ranked 167 countries by the number of people affected by forced labor, debt bondage, forced marriage and sexual exploitation. (AP)
A jury on Tuesday convicted an actor who played a police officer on TV of second-degree murder in the shooting death of his wife that was partially witnessed by their two young sons. The verdict in the trial of Michael Jace, who appeared on the FX series “The Shield,” came after a week-long trial in which Los Angeles jurors were told the actor shot his wife, April, in the back and then twice in the legs with a revolver that belonged to her father. Jace, 53, told detectives that he had retrieved the gun to kill himself but couldn’t do it. Instead, he planned to shoot his wife, an avid runner, in the leg so she would feel pain. (AP)
Donald Trump found an unlikely international voice of support this week — in North Korean state media. State outlet DPRK Today published an editorial Tuesday that called the business mogul a “wise politician” and said he could be good for North Korea since he has said he would not get involved in the war between the South and the North. The author of the editorial also dismissed Hillary Clinton, Trump’s likely Democratic rival in the presidential race, calling her “dull” and saying that she hopes to use the “Iranian model to resolve nuclear issues on the Korean Peninsula.”

Rosetta’s comet has the right ingredients for life SCIENCE There isn’t alien life on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. But according to new results from the European Space Agency’s Rosetta orbiter, which has been circling the comet for nearly two years, the dirty snowball has some of the rare building blocks considered essential to the evolution of living organisms. That could help support the theory that these life-giving molecules first arrived on Earth courtesy of a crash-landing comet. “This is the first unambiguous detection of glycine at a comet,” Kathrin Altwegg, lead author of a paper on the molecules published in Science Advances, said.

This combination of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen was sniffed out using the Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer for Ion and Neutral Analysis (ROSINA). The team worried that any glycine would be locked away in the comet’s icy core, because the amino acid doesn’t turn into gas until
things get hot. But ROSINA successfully detected molecules in the comet’s dusty gas cloud, as the core was baked during its closest approach of the sun last August. The Rosetta scientists also announced the detection of phosphorus, a mineral vital for the construction of cells and DNA. When combined with previous discoveries of oxygen, alcohol and sugar compounds on the comet, these finds make 67P look like the planetary equivalent of a box of cake mix: Just add water, heat and the right environment, and life can start to emerge. “The beauty of it is that now we see all the ingredients which are needed for life in one place,” Altwegg told New Scientist. That supports the idea that comets delivered an evolutionary starter kit like the one on 67P to a prebiotic Earth. RACHEL FELTMAN

Clinton, the change agent?
Trump details vets fundraiser, blasts media
POLITICS Rallying hundreds of service workers who are struggling to get by, Hillary Clinton tried last week to empathize with their frustrations and promised to deliver change. A Clinton presidency, she vowed, would bring better-paying jobs, renovated schools and repaired bridges and highways. Labor laws would toughen, student debt would decline and health care would be more accessible. But not everyone at Clinton’s Southern California rally saw the Democratic presidential front-runner as a credible change agent. Aguesin Garcia, a 47-year-old father of six who stocks grocery shelves for a living, shook his head as he watched her campaign. “She’s not going to change anything because she’s part of the people in power,” Garcia said. “She’s not part of us. It’s as simple as that.” Garcia plans on voting
for Bernie Sanders in the June 7 primary. If Clinton is the Democratic nominee, he said he would consider a third-party candidate. That sentiment encapsulates one of Clinton’s biggest vulnerabilities in a general election against Republican Donald Trump. Polls show a large majority of voters believe that the country is going in the wrong direction and that the political system is dysfunctional. They are hungry for change — and they see Trump as most likely to deliver it. When voters were asked who would bring needed change to Washington in this month’s Washington Post-ABC News poll, Trump trounced Clinton, 53 percent to 39 percent. “Donald Trump is the vote for change in this election,” Republican strategist Fred Davis said. “She simply can’t be. He’s the future; she’s the past. He’s exciting; she’s same-ole, sameole. ... In today’s climate, I think
JOHN LOCHER (AP)
Her D.C. ties have become a big weakness against outsider Trump change overwhelms safe.” Clinton’s advisers are grappling with how to convince voters that a former secretary of state, senator and first lady who owns a home in Washington, has cultivated deep ties to Wall Street and has played a starring role in the political scene will usher in change. Central to Clinton’s strategy is to disqualify Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, as too risky to be commander in chief. But in a campaign season shaped by voter fury, assailing Trump alone may not be enough. Clinton must be seen as a leader for middle-class Americans exasperated by the gridlocked government and an economic system that they feel has failed them. “There’s so much anger at the establishment and it’s hard for her to divorce herself from that because she’s been a fixture on the scene for so long,” said David Axelrod, the chief strategist on
President Obama’s campaigns. This environment gave birth to the insurgency of Sanders. Though the Vermont senator trails Clinton in the delegate count, Sanders has been barnstorming California in hopes of upsetting Clinton in the most populous state and taking his case to the Democratic National Convention. While Sanders’ call for a “revolution” draws thousands to his rallies, Clinton’s campaigning generates selective enthusiasm. Axelrod said Clinton’s proposals address people’s unrest — but she needs to project empathy. But Geoff Garin, a Democratic pollster who advises the proClinton super PAC Priorities USA Action, thinks Trump’s approach to change could help Clinton. “At the end of the day, Trump’s version of blowing the place up will become justifiably frightening to voters,” he said. PHILIP RUCKER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“The Glenn Beck Program” is suspended from SirusXM after Beck hinted Trump could be assassinated
POLITICS Under pressure to account for money he claimed to raise for veterans, an irritated Donald Trump lambasted the media Tuesday for pressing the issue and listed charities he said have now received millions of dollars from a fundraiser he held in January. Phone calls to all 41 of the groups by The Associated Press brought more than two dozen responses Tuesday. About half reported checks from Trump within the past week, typically dated May 24, the day The Washington Post published a story questioning whether he had distributed all of the money. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, told reporters at a testy news conference in New York that the fundraiser, held at the same time as a Fox News GOP debate he was boycotting, raised $5.6 million. He previously had declined to disclose which charities had received the funds, and his campaign has gone back and forth about how much was raised. “The money’s all been sent,” Trump said Tuesday. He repeatedly criticized the media as “unbelievably dishonest” and “sleazy” for its treatment of the issue. “Instead of being like, ‘Thank you very much, Mr. Trump,’ or ‘Trump did a good job,’ everyone’s saying, ‘Who got it? Who got it? Who got it?’ And you make me look very bad,” Trump said. JONATHAN LEMIRE AND JILL COLVIN (AP)

Why Durant likely to stay
Cavs goal: Dry out the Splash Bros. In NBA Finals rematch, Irving, Love available to give LeBron a hand NBA FINALS LeBron James has already felt the Splash Brothers’ stinging spray in the NBA Finals. When Stephen Curry and Warriors teammate Klay Thompson are knocking down 3-pointers from 30 feet, swishing contested jumpers over taller players and destroying defenses designed to stop them, opponents can feel helpless. “Some of those shots,” James said, “there’s nothing you can do about it.” That’s how the Thunder likely felt Monday night while losing 96-88 to the Warriors in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals. As the Cavaliers — considerably healthier than they were a year ago — prepare to face the Warriors in the finals again, they know their chances of ending Cleveland’s 52-year championship
drought hinge on at least slowing Curry, Thompson and Co. “Klay and Steph are probably the two greatest shooters that we’ve probably ever seen,” James said before the team left Cleveland for California and Game 1 on Thursday (9 p.m., ABC). “Better offense beats great defense any day. ... But we have a game plan and we have to follow it and be true to it.” Although they won’t admit it publicly, the Cavs have been eyeing a rematch with the Warriors since losing to them in six games last year. James was virtually on his own last year after Kevin Love separated his left shoulder in the first round and Kyrie Irving shattered his left kneecap in Game 1 of the finals. James averaged 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists — an unprecedented finals stat line — but it wasn’t enough. The Warriors are as healthy as the Cavaliers are now. Curry appears back to normal after
Wizards fans need not waste energy rooting for D.C. native Kevin Durant to sign as a free agent with his hometown team. Here is why he is likely to re-sign with the Thunder. TIM BONTEMPS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Huge ratings for Game 7 Monday night’s Game 7 on TNT drew the largest TV audience for an NBA game on cable, averaging 15.9 million viewers. The network said it was the most-watched telecast of any kind in TNT’s 28-year history. It was the largest audience for any pre-NBA Finals game since Game 7 of the 2000 West finals between the Lakers and Trail Blazers. (AP)
dealing with a knee injury earlier in the postseason. He likely will be guarded by Irving, but it won’t fall solely on him to check the game’s best shooter. J.R. Smith has been Cleveland’s best defender all season, and at 6-foot-6, his size could give Curry (generously listed as
6-3) some trouble. Matthew Dellavedova hounded Curry in last year’s finals until he exhausted himself and wound up hospitalized. James, too, will guard Curry occasionally. One of Cleveland’s primary challenges will be dealing with pick and rolls designed to get Curry mismatches. Thunder center Serge Ibaka found himself isolated on Curry late in Monday’s Game 7 and committed a costly foul trying to block a 3. “It’s tough,” Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said. “You can switch and have a big on Curry and have him take the shots over your big or you can double-team Steph and [he throws] it back to Draymond Green, who’s probably the best playmaker at that position in the league.” TOM WITHERS (AP)
Even though Billy Donovan’s club fell short of the NBA Finals, he proved his mettle in his first year as an NBA coach, ousting the Spurs and taking the Warriors to a Game 7.
2 Great supporting cast Aside from the obvious in Russell Westbrook, the Thunder had the breakout star of the playoffs in Steven Adams, 22, who could be a long-term force at center.
1 Best chance of revenge Re-signing for one year with an option for a second would give Durant the best chance to beat the Warriors soon, and he could test free agency next summer if he desires.

Putting Murphy’s hitting in perspective
How well is Daniel Murphy hitting in his first season with the Nationals? Entering Tuesday’s games, he was batting .395 — 41 points ahead of the majors’ second-best hitter, Boston’s Xander Bogaerts (.354). Murphy, 31, was on pace for 234 hits; last year’s major league leader, Dee Gordon, had 205. And he also had eight homers, easily on pace to surpass his career high of 14. “Murph has given me his best, plus some,” manager Dusty Baker said. (TWP)

Muddy clay leaves players frustrated
JONATHAN DANIEL (GETTY IMAGES)
NHL PLAYOFFS About a week after the Capitals’ season ended last month with another premature playoff exit, GM Brian MacLellan conceded that his team could have used a key cog from years past. “We missed Ward,” MacLellan said. “Joel Ward — he’s the kind of guy we needed in the playoffs. You make changes, but he’s a guy we wanted back and we didn’t get back. We missed that skill set.” Ward is one of three former Capitals in this year’s Stanley Cup Final along with Sharks wing Dainius Zubrus and Penguins wing Eric Fehr. Ward, 35, spent four seasons with the Capitals, developing into a solid two-way forward with a net-front presence and a knack for scoring big goals. He signed a three-year, $9.8 million deal with the Sharks in July and now is skating in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time. He didn’t score in Game 1 on Monday as the Sharks lost 3-2. But he scored four goals against the Blues in the last two games of the West finals. The Sharks won both games. “I’m a big believer that if you’re a clutch playoff performer, that’s something that’s a gift,” Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. DeBoer said Ward’s size

Former Capitals wing Joel Ward is playing for the Sharks in the Stanley Cup Final. His coach says his size helps him succeed in the rugged postseason.
(6-foot-1, 225 pounds) is especially helpful in the postseason. “The playoffs fit him,” DeBoer said. “He’s a big, heavy guy.” Ward and Fehr were teammates in D.C. for three seasons. Last summer, Fehr signed a three-year, $6 million deal with the Penguins. “I’ve never played a former friend in the Cup final before,” Fehr told reporters before Game 1. “It will be different, but
7-to-1
I think it will be easier than playing against your entire old team.” Zubrus, 37, played with the Capitals from 2001-2007 and had the primary assist on Alex Ovechkin’s first NHL goal. Zubrus is the only player on the Sharks who has previously reached the finals, with the Flyers in 1997 and Devils in 2012. The finals resume at 8 tonight in Pittsburgh on NBCSN.

Players and fans often refer with affection to the famed red clay of Roland Garros Stadium. But even in Paris, love vanishes if the courts are slippery and the balls are caked with wet clay. Only two matches were completed Tuesday at the rainy French Open, and both were upsets that the losers — No. 2 Agnieszka Radwanska, above, and No. 6 Simona Halep — blamed at least in part on conditions, which had wiped out all of Monday’s matches. “It’s a Grand Slam. How can you allow players to play in the rain?” said Radwanska, who fell to 102nd-ranked Tsvetana Pironkova. Halep lost to No. 21 Sam Stosur and said, “I was close to [getting] injured.” (AP)

Zachari Curtis manages a small mushroom-growing farm on private land in Maryland.
It’s a dirty job, but someone wants to do it

JASON HORNICK PHOTOS (FOR EXPRESS)
2670 Avenir Place, Vienna
A local mushroom farmer is bringing fresh fungi to the masses URBAN FARMING There’s a least one person in Washington who didn’t mind the bleak, rain-soaked May: Zachari Curtis. The owner of Good Sense Farm & Apiary, a small mushroom and honey operation on a private lot in Maryland, says the wet, gloomy weather has increased mushroom production by 20 percent. That’s a good thing, particularly because on June 12, Curtis, 30, is opening a second, much larger production facility in D.C.’s Park View neighborhood to grow more mushrooms as well as microgreens. “People always ask, ‘Where’s your farm?’ ” Curtis says. “Because I work on private land, I’ve never been able to really share it.” The new, 7,200-square-foot space — dubbed The Perch — will allow Curtis to keep up with the demand for mushrooms. The space will also be used for

classes on mushroom growing, and Curtis will make the building available to the community for event rentals (a clothing swap is already planned). “The goal is to show people what an urban mushroom farm can look like and give them a place to gather,” Curtis says. Born in the D.C. area, Curtis grew up foraging with family and first got interested in mushrooms in 2008 while working on a small local farm. Intrigued by the process of mushroom growing, Curtis began experimenting at home. “ It app e a re d a s i f [t he
mushrooms] just came out of nowhere,” Curtis says. “I did a shiitake log at my house and it would always be the day I wasn’t looking that they would pop up. The unpredictability of it was what made me want to figure it out.” Curtis founded Good Sense in 2013, and sells up to five varieties of mushrooms throughout the year at local markets, including oyster, shiitake, lion’s mane, black poplar and king trumpet. Mushroom-growing kits are available through Good Sense’s Etsy shop. Education is a big tenet of the

business philosophy, and Curtis particularly enjoys challenging people’s assumptions about mushrooms. At farmers markets, Curtis enjoys introducing shoppers to new varieties of fungi — especially those who may be averse to mushrooms. “There are people who have only had canned mushrooms and are grossed out and say they make them gag. We want to meet all of these people,” Curtis says. Curtis understands that not everyone grew up with access to fresh, gourmet mushrooms. Part of Good Sense’s mission is to introduce customers to all that nature has to offer. “It’s not about how many hikes you’ve been on or national parks you’ve visited. People come to me with different sets of experience with wilderness based on their level of privilege,” Curtis says. “You don’t have to know what a chanterelle is to be a real mushroom lover, because that’s not everyone’s experience. I’m trying to acknowledge that if you’re excited about food, you’re a wilderness lover.” HOLLEY SIMMONS (EXPRESS)

“Bennie’s Gym” star Ed Asner faces off with Joe Estevez.
BONNIE JO MOUNT (THE WASHINGOTN POST)
verbatim
Bethesda friends lure Ed Asner to TV pilot Emmy-winning actor agrees to star in dream project, ‘Bennie’s Gym’ TELEVISION Ed Asner, 86, is not wearing any pants in the backroom of a former dollar store in Columbia, Md. Taped by the door is a handwritten note on a blue piece of paper: “Ed’s dressing room.” The Emmy-winning “Mary Tyler Moore” and “Up” actor is filming a TV show pilot about a frisky old fitness guru who runs an outdated gym in South Beach. The show, “Bennie’s Gym,” is the pipe dream of three Bethesda, Md., coffee shop friends. A dentist, Neil Cohen, who had always wanted to make
a sitcom; Fred Knowles, who had quit his HR job and was seeking a new purpose; and podiatrist Steve Kominsky developed the script over 6:30 a.m. coffee dates. They got connected with a “House of Cards” casting director whose parents lived near someone who was friendly with Asner. Everyone along the way liked the script — which was irreverent and self-referential, like “Taxi” meets “The Office” meets “Golden Girls” — and it kept moving toward Asner, who lives in Tarzana, Calif. Once Asner signed on, five people, including Knowles’ wife and childhood best friend, put up the cash for the low-budget production. While TV production is not

Still, “in 25 years, this was the most fun n I’ve had casting anything, because cause the script was so funny.” “Why’d I take it?” says s the man who played Lou Grantt for 12 years. “I wasn’t working. ing.

INVESTIGATIONS
Depp’s estranged wife makes claim of abuse Johnny Depp’s estranged wife, Amber Heard, gave Los Angeles police a statement to support her account of an alleged domestic violence incident involving the actor, her lawyers said Tuesday. The model-actress filed for divorce from the actor May 23 and obtained a restraining order against Depp on Friday after alleging the actor threw a cellphone at her face during a fight May 21. Heard and Depp were married for 15 months before the divorce petition was filed. (AP) THEATER

Poland’s justice minister on Tuesday revived an effort to have filmmaker Roman Polanski, 83, extradited to the U.S., where he is wanted in a 1977 case involving sex with a 13-year-old girl. Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro’s office said he asked Poland’s Supreme Court to annul a ruling in October by a court in Krakow, which found that Polish law forbids Polanski’s extradition. Polanski won an Academy Award for best director for his 2002 film “The Pianist,” which he filmed in Warsaw, and was nominated for his 1970s films “Chinatown” and “Tess.” (AP)

Effort to extradite Polanksi to U.S. revived
In the first five days that 2016-17 season tickets were available, the Kennedy Center sold nearly 4,000 subscriptions — a number that represents three-quarters of all the theater subscriptions it sold last year. Anticipation over the hit musical “Hamilton” coming to the Kennedy Center in 2018 fueled the sales flood, as 2016-17 subscribers are effectively buying priority access to “Hamilton” tickets. Demand was so high on the first day that it froze the center’s website. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

CLUES
It doesn’t lead to treasure. We already checked.
So the moral is, just get better at hiding it Adele stopped in the middle of a concert in Verona, Italy, on Sunday to call out a fan who was filming the show. In another fan video obtained by Entertainment Weekly, the singer can be seen speaking to a concertgoer who set up a tripod. “Can you stop filming me with a video camera?” Adele asks. “Because I’m really here in real life. You can enjoy it in real life. This isn’t a DVD.”
Katy Perry’s Twitter account was hacked Monday night, resulting in some incomprehensible tweets sent on the pop star’s behalf. E! News captured some of the now-deleted posts, including one that read, “Haha follow @Sw4ylol #HackersGonnaHack.” Others included simply the fist bump emoji, or various profanities. One tweet didn’t seem so random: “miss u baby @taylorswift13.” Swift famously picked a fight with Perry in 2014, hinting that her song “Bad Blood” was about her. Several Twitter sleuths tracked down the account @Sw4ylol, which last night tweeted a Soundcloud link to what appeared to be an unreleased song of Perry’s. (EXPRESS)
