Only rule: No apologizing At a Va. water park, a judgment-free event for children with autism ‘SAFETY CHECKS’

MANASSAS, VA. When the “floater” popped up in the water park pool Saturday, Whitney Ellenby sprang into action, using a gloved hand to deftly remove the waste. “They don’t understand who we are. We poop in the pool,” Ellenby said as she waded through the shallow water that had been evacuated after an autistic child had an accident. Now she was pleading with water park staff to allow the children to return. She remembered the time her autistic son, Zack, had pooped his pants the first time he rode Metro. Sometimes, poop happens, and Ellenby wasn’t about to let it ruin the evening of fun she’d planned for more than 500 D.C.-area families of children with autism. Over the past decade, Ellenby, a former civil rights lawyer at the Justice Department, has organized dozens of events — at pools, gyms, movie theaters — where children with autism and their families can come and be themselves. On Saturday, families

from around the region gathered at SplashDown WaterPark in Manassas, Va., for an evening of watersliding, tubing and pizza in a judgment-free space.

Ellenby said. “You can flap, bounce, gallop — be as autistic as you want to be.” For parents, the events, organized through Ellenby’s charity, Autism Ambassadors, are an opportunity for families to let loose in a relaxed and compassionate setting. “If we have a meltdown, we
will be in good company. Everyone here understands,” said Julie Mishkin of Potomac, Md., as she climbed the stairs to the waterslide with her autistic son, Jack, 10, and his twin, Aiden, who doesn’t have autism. “It’s nice to have a family outing,” she said.

‘Virginia Beach positive’ After a deadly mass shooting, residents vow they will not be defined by tragedy

Workers face somber return after shooting
MATT MCCLAIN (THE WASHINGTON POST )
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. Columbine, Newtown, Parkland and now Virginia Beach. They are reduced in the nation’s imagination to their most wrenching day. Virginia Beach always has been just a sandy sliver of itself in the minds of most Americans. But there’s a whole city — the state’s largest — beyond the ocean waves, boardwalk and hotel towers. It’s where Navy SEALs train, in a region with 75 federal and defense installations and more than 86,000 active-duty military personnel. It’s the spot where televangelist Pat Robertson built an 11,000-student university. It’s the place where most of the state’s strawberries grow. For now at least, across the country, Virginia Beach is where a city engineer took the second Friday afternoon of summer vacation season and turned it into a massacre, leaving 12 dead and four seriously injured at the municipal complex. As residents grieved Sunday, they also took steps toward reclaiming the city’s identity. They did so intentionally and visibly, with prayers and vigils. And they reverted to habit: The roads were jammed, the aquarium was mobbed, the mini-golf courses and bike rental shops bustled. Severa l hundred people hugged and set up their beach chairs as they gathered for a Sunday morning service organized by Trinity Church, an evangelical congregation. The service took place outdoors by the iconic Neptune sculpture on the resort strip at the beach that often represents the city. “You look at a day like today — how beautiful the ocean is, how good God is,” said Jackie Wisman, a church member. “That’s what you want Virginia Beach
to be known for.” He was thinking of the police cars he saw rushing toward the municipal complex two days earlier, more sirens than he’s ever heard at once in his life. He was thinking of the calls for gun control, which he opposes. He was thinking of his home city, to which he moved three years ago to be close to his wife’s family. Now he was watching its citizens gather for vigils and posting “VB Strong” messages along the highways. “It’s just horrible,” he said. “You don’t want people to think about Virginia Beach and think about a shooting, just like Columbine.” At the Courthouse Community United Methodist Church, less than a mile from the local government complex, Sunday was a time to try to heal. “We will not be defined by this violence,” the Rev. Beth Anderson told her 150 congregants,
Email offered few clues The Virginia Beach employee accused of shooting and killing 12 people gave no hint of his plans when he emailed his resignation earlier in the day, saying that he was leaving for “personal reasons” but that “it has been a pleasure to serve.” Authorities shed no immediate light on why he resigned. That has left survivors, officials and community members wondering what set off the violence. “Right now we do not have anything glaring,” said Police Chief James Cervera. “There’s nothing that hits you right between the eyes. But we are working on it.” (AP)
who, just a day earlier, were making lunch for FBI agents and technicians. Even as the city vowed to persevere, some residents said it was too soon to talk of moving on. “ Yo u h a v e t o h a v e a n
This year’s rainy May was D.C.’s seventh-warmest in recorded history
opportunity to grieve and to mourn,” said Jeff McWaters, a businessman and former Republican state senator from the city. “There has to be a time for people to come together and collectively mourn what’s lost and help the families. . . . Just like 9/11, we don’t want to forget.” The shooting will cause people to draw closer, predicted Susan Beni, sitting at Silver Stream, the jewelry store her husband owns on the boardwalk. She saw that kind of closeness on a happy occasion a month ago at the Something in the Water music festival. “That was Virginia Beach positive. Everyone was on the same page. Now we have tragedy,” Beni said. “Hey, we’re still Virginia Beach. We’ve got good people. . . . It won’t deter anyone from coming here. This could happen in anyone’s backyard.” LAURA VOZZELLA, PATRICIA SULLIVAN AND JULIE ZAUZMER (THE WASHINGTON POST)
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. Three days after the shooting, a somber Monday played out at the city’s sprawling municipal complex, where employees returned to work for the first time since the rampage unfolded in the three-story, brick Building 2. Most offices remained closed. Some entrances were still blocked with police barricades and police cars. The scene of the shooting was quiet and will be shuttered indefinitely. Many workers wore blue as they’d been urged to do to show solidarity. Some murmured about what a beautiful day it was and remembered those who were killed. Others didn’t speak but just put an arm around a colleague. Flags were at half staff. Alveta Green, who works in the complex where the shooting happened, said it still felt surreal. Green leads student support for the Virginia Beach school district and trains staff to handle trauma. On Monday morning, Green was bracing herself not only to supervise the psychologists and counselors deployed across the city to aid returning students and teachers, but also to help her own co-workers who were at the heart of a crime scene the last time they went to work. Building 6, where the school administration is housed, was one of the few buildings in the municipal complex where staff returned to work on Monday. Those in most buildings except Building 2 will be back at work today. (TWP)

New bill in D.C. would allow prisoners to vote
HEALTH
verbatim
THE WASHINGTON POST
POLITICS A group of D.C. lawmakers wants to make the nation’s capital the first jurisdiction to restore voting rights to prisoners while they’re still incarcerated. Council member Robert White Jr., D-At Large, with a majority of the 13-member body, planned to introduce legislation today to repeal language in a 1955 law that disenfranchises D.C. residents upon felony convictions. Every state except Maine and Vermont has stripped voting rights from prisoners. “They don’t lose their citizenship when they are incarcerated, so they shouldn’t lose their right to vote,” White said. Bills to eliminate lifetime voting bans on felons and to restore voting rights to those on parole or probation have won bipartisan support in statehouses and at the ballot box. But allowing prisoners to vote remains controversial. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has backed prisoner voting. The rest of the 2020 presidential candidates have been cool to the idea, although some suggested allowing nonviolent offenders to vote. President Trump blasted prisoner voting, which he and other conservatives have used to deride Democrats as wanting the Boston Marathon bomber and

White said he’s bracing for similar arguments. “The Constitution makes no statement directly or indirectly that the right to vote is somehow contingent on behavior,” he said. Six of 13 D.C. Council members have agreed to co-introduce the bill. Representatives for Mayor Muriel Bowser, D, and Attorney General Karl Racine, D, issued statements supporting expanding voting rights generally, but did not take a stance on White’s bill. White says the discussion around criminal voting restrictions should focus on the racist motivations of the laws and how they disproportionately disenfranchise African Americans.

A Metro employee directs a traveler to the correct shuttle bus at Braddock Road Metro Station, one of the stations that is closed for platform repairs.
DC RIDER | KERY MURAKAMI
‘What can you do?’: Riders find ways around shutdown Metro — and even transportation reporters — mostly think of the current shutdown in dry terms, like how frequently shuttles are coming to the affected stations. But as the first week of the shutdown of six stations south of Reagan National came to an end last Friday, many who had given up on taking slow shuttles were discovering that getting through the next 14 weeks also means figuring out real-life questions, like how to drop off children at day care and what’s too big a favor to ask. Around 8 a.m. last Tuesday, on the first workday of the shutdown, Jennifer Slotnick stood in line at the closed Braddock Road station waiting to try out one of the shuttles
Metro is running. By the end of the week, Slotnick was among those who’d given up on that idea, after it took her an hour longer to get to work than her commute on the train takes. Weighing her options, Slotnick said she has to drop off her 1-year-old son at day care, which takes 20 minutes, before she goes to get either a shuttle or a Metroway bus to her job near Federal Triangle. Her fastest option, she figured, would be to bicycle to drop off her son, then bike to the Crystal City station to get a train. But she’d need to get a trailer to pull her son along. And she’d have to ask the boy’s father, who picks up their child from day care, to also lug back her trailer each day for her to use the next morning. “I still need to ask him,” she
said, seeming unsure of the reaction she’d get. As last week wore on, updates by Alexandria’s transportation department suggested people were finding an assortment of ways to deal with the shutdown. Traffic on the roads was up, as was the number of bicyclists on bike trails. And more people were riding the water taxi. Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld said it would take a week or so for commuters and Metro to adjust, but shortly they’d “get to a rhythm that people can live through.” But for many, finding that rhythm thus far has meant trials and errors, and sometimes the goodness of spouses. When Kevin Kaighin and his wife were shopping for a house last year, he wanted a place in Washington. She had her heart set on a home in Del Rey, even though the shutdown was coming, and they eventually moved to Alexandria. As the shutdown approached, she offered to drive him to the Crystal City Metro so he could take the train to his job as a defense fellow. “I was just stubborn and wanted to get the full experience of riding on the shuttle and Metro, just so I could see how much longer it really would take,” he said. After it took him an hour and a half last Tuesday, he decided to take the rides from his wife. It’s taking him about 50 minutes now, only 10 minutes longer than normal. Carrie Wehling has given up on the shuttle after a bus last Thursday that was supposed to go to Huntington ended up in Woodbridge, Va. She and her husband are exploring other transit options, but if they don’t work, they’ll start driving to work together … at the EPA. “We feel terrible about it,” she said. “But what can you do?” Reach Kery Murakami at kery.murakami@washpost.com.

A Tiananmen turning point BEIJING Thirty years since the Tiananmen Square protests, China’s economy has catapulted up the world rankings, yet political repression is harsher than ever. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims are held in reeducation camps without charge, student activists face relentless harassment, and leaders in the beleaguered dissident community have been locked up or simply vanished. Religious groups face ever greater pressure to conform, and a web of mass surveillance is bolstering a system many call totalitarian. It’s a far cry from the hopes of the idealistic student demonstrators, and a level of control far beyond what many imagined possible, even after the army’s bloody crushing of the protests on the night of June 3-4, 1989. Critics say the Tiananmen crackdown, which left hundreds, possibly thousands, dead, set the ruling Communist Party on its present course of ruthless suppression, summary incarceration and the frequent use of violence against opponents in the name of “stability maintenance.” “The June 4 incident changed the direction of Chinese history,” said Zhang Lifan, who in 1989 was a scholar at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. “The narrative that China would

grow strong and normal, become a stable country through a process of political reform, was destroyed.” Chinese officials routinely respond to questions about the suppression by pointing to the economic progress China has made. In the three decades since the protests, China has risen
to become the world’s secondlargest economy and is forging ahead in areas from high-speed rail to artificial intelligence and 5G mobile communications. China’s navy now sails around the globe, its space program has launched half a dozen crewed missions, and its sprawling crossborder infrastructure projects
are extending its influence from Nairobi to the Netherlands. Politically, however, the state has never been more repressive. Restrictions on freedom of speech have been extended from publishing into social media, and the slightest act of perceived defiance can prompt a nearinstantaneous response from the authorities. The sprawling domestic security apparatus operates with impunity, coerced confessions are broadcast on state television and prison sentences are handed out on the flimsiest of charges, including “picking quarrels” and “incitement to subversion.” Calls for even moderate reforms have been attacked or just ignored. An attempt to introduce grassroots democracy at the village level years ago foundered after the Communist Party refused to concede even a modicum of control. Deliberative bodies at all levels are filled with party appointees who vote how they’re told, and the national legislature is a mere rubber-stamp body, which reelected president and party head Xi Jinping last year by a margin of 2,970 to 0. Despite the setback it dealt to Chinese political reform, the Tiananmen crackdown may have had a salutary effect on events elsewhere, hurrying the peaceful fall of the Berlin Wall the same year and the dissolution of the Soviet Union soon after, Zhang said. “So even though the Chinese people didn’t benefit from it, the rest of the world felt the impact,” he said.

The number of people who were shot in Chicago over the weekend, police reported Monday. There were 10 homicides, including two from stabbings, between Friday and Sunday. Targeted patrols in response to several gang-related incidents netted 18 arrests and 92 seized guns since Friday evening, according to a spokesman. Homicide numbers in Chicago are on a downward trend, with more than 200 fewer homicides in 2018 than 2016. But this was the most violent weekend of the year for the city.

Tinder ordered to turn over user data in Russia MOSCOW Russia is requiring dating app Tinder to hand over data on its users — including messages — to its national intelligence agencies, part of the country’s widening crackdown on internet freedoms. The communications regulator said Monday that Tinder was included on a list of online services operating in Russia that are required to provide user data on demand to Russian authorities, including the FSB security agency. Tinder, an app where people looking for dates swipe left or right on the profiles of other users, will have to cooperate with Russian authorities or face being completely blocked. The rule would apply to any user’s data that goes through Russian servers, including messages to other people on the app. Russia has adopted a flurry of legislation in recent years tightening control over online activity. Among other things, internet companies are required to store six months’ worth of user data and be ready to hand the data over to authorities. Russian authorities last year issued an order to ban messaging app Telegram after it refused to hand over user data. Some top Russian officials, including the FSB chief, attacked Telegram, claiming “extremists” used the platform to plot terrorist attacks. Despite authorities’ attempt to block Telegram, it is still available in Russia. NATALIYA VASILYEVA (AP)

TOLGA AKMEN (AP)
LONDON Mixing pageantry and pugilism, President Trump plunged into his long-delayed state visit to Britain on Monday, welcomed with smiles and a cannon salute by the royals as he launched political insults at others in a time of turmoil for both nations in the deep, if recently strained, alliance. It was a whirlwind of pomp, circumstance and protest for Trump, who had lunch with Queen Elizabeth and tea with Prince Charles before a grand state dinner at Buckingham Palace. The queen used her toast to emphasize the importance of international institutions created by Britain, the United States and other allies after World War II — a subtle rebuttal to Trump, a critic of NATO and the U.N. But most of the talk and the colorful images were just what the White House wanted so as to showcase Trump as a statesman while, back home, the race to succeed him — and talk of impeaching him — heated up. Yet Trump, forever a counterpuncher, immediately roiled diplomatic docility by tearing into London Mayor Sadiq Khan. Trump unleashed a Twitter tirade after a newspaper column in which London’s mayor said Trump did not deserve red-carpet treatment and was “one of the most egregious examples of a growing global threat” to liberal democracy from the far right. “@SadiqKhan, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly ‘nasty’ to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom,” Trump wrote just before landing. “He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me.” During the palace welcome

ceremony, Trump and Prince Charles inspected the Guard of Honor formed by the Grenadier Guards wearing their traditional bearskin hats. Royal gun salutes were fired from nearby Green Park and from the Tower of London as part of the pageantry accompanying an official state visit, one of the highest honors Britain can bestow on a foreign leader. But the U.S. president arrived at a precarious moment. There is a fresh round of impeachment fervor back home and uncertainty on that side of the Atlantic. British Prime Minister Theresa May has undergone months of political turmoil over Britain’s planned exit from the European Union, and French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to use the 75th anniversary of the World War II battle that turned the tide on the Western Front to call for strengthening multinational ties the U.S. president has frayed. A sense of deja vu quickly spread around London as Trump barreled into the visit. A year ago, he also had taken aim at his hosts before landing on English soil, blasting May in an interview hours before she hosted him for dinner. This time he has so far spared May, whom he will meet with today, but he also has praised her rival, Boris Johnson, just days before May steps down as Conservative leader on Friday for failing to secure a Brexit deal. “I think Boris would do a very good job,” Trump told The Sun. “I like him. I have always liked him. I don’t know that he is going to be chosen, but I think he is a very good guy, a very talented person.” It was not clear if that endorsement would help or hurt Johnson’s chances of becoming prime minister. Trump said he may meet with Johnson this week. JONATHAN LEMIRE AND KEVIN FREKING (AP)

Sudan troops raid protest camp FDA tests find PFAS in many sampled foods HEALTH The Food and Drug Administration’s first broad testing of food for a worrisome class of nonstick, stain-resistant industrial compounds found substantial levels in some grocery store meats and seafood and in off-the-shelf chocolate cake, according to unreleased findings FDA researchers presented at a scientific conference in Europe. The FDA’s disclosure is likely to add to concerns raised by states and public health groups that President Trump’s administration is not acting fast enough or firmly enough to start regulating the man-made compounds, called “forever chemicals.� A federal toxicology report last year cited links between very high levels of the industrial compounds in people’s blood and health risks, but said there was not enough evidence to prove the compounds were the cause. The levels in nearly half of the meat and fish tested were double or more the only currently existing federal advisory level for any kind of the widely used compounds, which are called per- and polyfluoroalykyl substances, or PFAS. The level in the chocolate cake was more than 250 times the only federal guidelines, which are for some PFAS in drinking water. FDA spokeswoman Tara Rabin n said Monday the agency thoughtt the contamination was “not likelyy to be a human health concern.�
KHARTOUM, SUDAN Security forces attacked the camp at the center of Sudan’s protest movement, opening fire, torching tents and killing at least 30 people in an assault Monday that swept away the months-long sit-in demanding the military yield power, witnesses and protest leaders said. Protesters were seen in videos posted online running through streets lined with tents, heads down and ducking as the sound of gunfire filled the air. Smoke rose from the sit-in, located outside the military headquarters in the capital, Khartoum. By midday, security forces

controlled almost the entire camp, pushing out protesters and sealing off the area, two activists said. Other forces attacked similar sit-ins in Khartoum’s sister city Omdurman and the eastern city of al-Qadarif, activists said. The assault appeared to be
a coordinated move to crush a protest movement that in April forced the military to remove Sudan’s strongman, Omar alBashir, after 30 years of rule — and then stayed in the streets to keep up pressure on the generals who took his place.
“This is a critical point in our revolution. The military council has chosen escalation and confrontation,� said Mohammed Yousef al-Mustafa, a spokesman for the Sudanese Professionals’ Association, which has spearheaded the protests. For months, tens of thousands in the camp and other protest sites have been demanding a speedy transition to civilian rule.

The talks focus on the makeup of a transitional “sovereignty council� that would run the country for three years.

Swedish court rules against extraditing Julian Assange
Top official reappears days after report of his ouster
Pilots searching for missing climbers spot 5 bodies
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should not be extradited to Sweden for a revived rape investigation, but should still be questioned in the case while he is imprisoned in Britain, a Swedish court ruled Monday. The ruling doesn’t mean the preliminary investigation must be abandoned, only that Assange doesn’t face extradition to Sweden any time soon. The 47-year-old Assange was evicted on April 11 from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he had been holed up with political asylum since 2012. He was immediately arrested by British police and is currently serving a 50-week sentence for jumping bail in 2012. (AP)

Ancient chessman could fetch $1M A chess piece purchased for a few pounds by an antiques dealer in Scotland in 1964 has been identified as one of the 900-year-old Lewis Chessmen, among the greatest artifacts of the Viking era.

The piece is the equivalent of a rook and is one of five missing from a hoard of 93 pieces that was discovered in 1831 in Scotland. The 3 ½-inch piece was carved from walrus ivory in the 12th century. (AP) Former Minneapolis mayor and U.S. Rep. Don Fraser dies at age 95

JERRY BREWER | THE WASHINGTON POST
More than talent: Warriors exhibit unheralded grit The Warriors don’t really get to be resilient. They are, but because they’re also historically marvelous, their success forces them to forfeit those kinds of plucky, human descriptions. Most people would rather fixate on their talent and limit the appreciation to a simple five-letter word: great. So many more ingredients go into their greatness. Thing is, they often win so convincingly they don’t have to show their full repertoire. In terms of perception, such dominance can work against them. The Warriors have collected ample praise over the last five seasons. To reach a higher level of reverence, it would help to see them strain more. This NBA Finals series is providing that kind of challenge. In capturing backto-back championships, the Warriors lost just one game
during the 2017 and 2018 finals. They have a 12-3 record during their three title runs. The one time they had it hard, LeBron James and Cleveland beat them in seven games. But now the degree of difficulty is appropriately high. Through two games, the Raptors have shown they’re a real threat. Golden State, already laboring from the physical toll of playing in five straight finals, is now an injured mess. Kevin Durant is still out with a calf injury. Klay Thompson suffered a slight hamstring pull and left early during the Warriors’ 109-104 Game 2 victory. Kevon Looney, who is shooting 73% in the playoffs, also exited early Sunday night. DeMarcus Cousins is playing through a quad injury, and the team has been careful with Andre Iguodala’s sore calf. Steph Curry dislocated his left middle finger early in the playoffs, and on Sunday, he exited the game

briefly because he was sick. No one is going to feel sorry for Golden State, which has benefitted so many times from its opponents’ injuries. And while the Warriors are not a deep team anymore, they still have five perennial All-Stars on the roster and a former NBA Finals MVP in Iguodala. As long as Curry is healthy enough to play and force defenses to panic and extend to try to contain him, the Warriors can cobble together some dangerous lineups. Still, the combination of misfortune and a worthy opponent has turned these finals into a grind. Golden State was lucky to leave Toronto with the series tied 1-1. If not for an incredible 18-0 to start the second half of
Injured Warriors Golden State, playing in its fifth straight NBA Finals, has been plagued by injury this postseason. Kevin Durant: Sidelined with a calf injury during the Western Conference semifinals, he still has not been cleared to practice. Klay Thompson: He left Game 2 with a slight hamstring pull and had an MRI Monday. He told Yahoo Sports he doesn’t expect to miss Game 3. Kevon Looney: Yahoo Sports reports he left Game 2 with a left collarbone injury and underwent an MRI and CT scan Monday. (EXPRESS)
Game 2, the Warriors would be in an 0-2 hole. Even after they took control Sunday, they endured a 5-1/2 minute scoring drought before Iguodala made a 3-pointer with 5.9 seconds left to stave off a Raptors comeback. At their core, Golden State and Toronto are defensive teams. This was meant to be a tough, grimy and close series. Many forget the Warriors were an exceptional defensive team under Mark Jackson before Steve Kerr elevated the offense. Their offensive ingenuity belies the fact that they’re physical and ornery. They’re talented, and they’re tough, too. If Durant returns in Game 3 or 4, if the durable Thompson can shake off a finals injury, the complexion of the entire series could change. But considering how things have gone this postseason, it won’t be that simple for the Warriors. The finals have mirrored their entire, rhythm-less season. They haven’t been dominant. They have been spotty and hurt and disinterested and annoyed, sometimes with each other. But the Warriors are still the champions. Beneath all that talent and dominance, there’s quite a bit of resourcefulness in their greatness, too.
Caster Semenya, below, won an interim ruling in her battle against the IAAF when the Swiss supreme court ordered athletics’ governing body to suspend its testosterone rules on Monday. The freezing of the rules allows the two-time Olympic champion from South Africa to run in her favorite 800-meter event without taking hormone-suppressing medication, although the temporary ruling can be challenged by the IAAF. Semenya’s lawyers said there will be another decision by the supreme court after the IAAF makes its arguments to the court that the rules should stand. No date was given for that hearing, but it could happen as early as this month, her lawyer, Greg g Nott,, said. ((AP))

HEALTH ADVICE
Sunscreen is not as useful for dark skin
Forget daily aspirin for heart health
PERSPECTIVE Melanoma is a potentially deadly form of skin cancer linked to overexposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. Sunscreen can block UV rays, which reduces the risk of melanoma. The promotion of sunscreen as an effective melanoma prevention strategy is thus a reasonable public health message. While this may be true for lightskinned people, such as those of European descent, it is not the case for darker-skinned people or those of African descent. The public health messages promoted by many clinicians and public health groups regarding sunscreen recommendations for dark-skinned people are incongruent with the available evidence. Media messaging exacerbates the problem, with headline after headline warning that black people can also develop melanoma. While this is true, the risk is very low. In the same way, men can develop breast cancer, but we do not promote mammography as a strategy to fight breast cancer in men. This message is important to me as a black, board-certified dermatologist and health services researcher at the University of Texas at Austin. In the United States, melanoma is 20 to 30 times more common
among whites than blacks. In blacks, melanoma usually develops in parts of the body that get less sun exposure, such as the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. These cancers are called acral lentiginous melanomas, and sunscreen does nothing to reduce the risk. Famously, Bob Marley died of such a melanoma on his big toe, but sunscreen would not have helped. The research on the association of UV radiation and melanoma among blacks is lacking. Most studies exclude patients of darker skin types. In the largest study of this question to date, no connection was found between UV index or latitude and melanoma among black people. Many dermatologists point out that black patients tend to show up to the doctor with later-stage melanoma, which is true. But this is an issue of access and awareness and has nothing to do with sunscreen application. Black people should be aware of growths on their skin and seek medical attention if they have any changing, bleeding, or painful or otherwise concerning spots, particularly on the hands and feet. The notion, however, that regular application of daily sunscreen will reduce an already extremely

There is no evidence to suggest it lowers the risk of melanoma for black people
Contrary to the prevailing public health messaging, sunscreen is not effective in preventing melanoma — a type of skin cancer — in black people.
Is sunscreen safe? The issue of regular sunscreen use in black people was made even more pressing after the release of a recent study on sunscreen absorption in the Journal of the American Medical Association. This study showed that significant amounts of certain chemical sunscreen ingredients can get in the blood, with unknown impacts on health. A.S.A.
rare occurrence is nonsensical. UV radiation does affect dark skin and can cause DNA damage, but the damage is seven to eight times lower than that done to white skin, given the sun-protective effect of melanin. Sunscreen may help with reducing other effects of the sun’s rays such as sunburns, wrinkling, photoaging and freckling. But for black

people, on average, sunscreen is unlikely to reduce their low risk of melanoma any further. In certain sub-populations of black people, such as those with disorders causing sun sensitivity, albino patients or patients with suppressed immune systems, sunscreen use may reduce the risk of melanoma. But if you don’t fall into one of these categories, any meaningful risk reduction from the application of sunscreen is unlikely. A one-size-fits-all approach misses the mark when it comes to the public health messages related to sunscreen, skin cancer and black people. The facts simply do not add up for the recommendation of sunscreen as prevention of melanoma in black people. ADEWOLE S. ADAMSON (FOR THE CONVERSATION; REPRINTED IN THE WASHINGTON POST)
For decades, millions of patients have been taking a daily aspirin in an attempt to prevent heart attacks and strokes. But in March, the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association released guidelines declaring that healthy adults with an average risk for heart disease receive no overall benefit from a daily aspirin. In simple terms, aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, is now “low-value medical care.” The term describes tests and medications that are ineffective and provide no benefit to a patient’s medical care. In the case of aspirin, research shows that average-risk patients are exposed to higher risks of bleeding and led to falsely believe aspirin is the best form of primary prevention. The best protection is exercise, a healthy diet and avoiding smoking. INDERVEER MAHAL (FOR THE CONVERSATION; REPRINTED IN THE WASHINGTON POST)

My wife’s ‘me time’ is really adding up Q. My wife’s self-care routine takes a lot of time and money, and now that we are considering having a child, I wonder if she would need even more. I can see myself being forced into a bigger share of child care responsibilities because she “needs” her massages and gym time and therapy, etc. And I can imagine myself growing resentful of this, but then I feel judgmental about it.

My first question is this: Does the self-care actually help? True self-care isn’t just layering an avocado facial mask on top of a stressed body and mind. It should actually help you rejuvenate, calm yourself and develop insight into your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Everything you mentioned has the potential to do just that, so it’s reasonable to assume that those things
would continue to provide help even as her overall stress increased. But, of course, the time and money spent affects you too, so communication is key here. I see this issue less as a potential need to clamp down on what she needs for her mental health, and more of an opportunity for you to ask for what you need, and to be honest about how you need to work together to support each other.
Things like this tend to get better over time only if you’ve set that trajectory in motion, by making subtle changes and working on them. Otherwise, the thought processes just get more and more ingrained. And perhaps increased stress in your life, or just the uncertainty of growing older and trying to carve out a path for yourself, has raised your overall anxiety, adding fuel to the upset. I’m guessing that the seeds of selfdoubt and hypersensitivity to criticism have grown over time because they’ve never truly been dealt with, and now they’re full-blown shrubbery that necessitates a backhoe to dig out. A solid cognitive behavioral therapist will not only help you to challenge and neutralize these negative thoughts, but to get to the bottom of what is causing them — and make alterations to keep them at bay.

entertainment Q&A | TAN FRANCE
His eye, his mind, his heart
This memoir opens with a chapter about your growing up gay in a traditional Pakistani family, and the racism you dealt with in a small England town. How did it feel to revisit that? That could’ve been tough for anybody who hasn’t resolved their issues, but I’ve made peace with how things were. It’s just ridiculous that it happened, that amount of racism, but it’s not something that still feels painful. The hardest part of the book is where I talk about my businesses, and how at one point it made me feel truly suicidal. That’s the only time I really
struggled writing a chapter. Talking through those feelings [with contributing writer Caroline Donofrio] and reliving those moments was really, really hard. You also recall going to “Queer Eye” creator David Collins during the Season 1 shoot and offering to leave because you felt you were ruining the show. What do you hope readers take away from understanding that self-doubt? I’m not the kind of person who was raised in a family [that says], “You can do anything!” I’m definitely not American. I’m British and also South Asian, which

Tan France had already wrapped up work on his memoir a few months ago when a particularly tumultuous trip through U.S. airport security made him realize he hadn’t told the full story. “I was very rudely reminded of my color and my name being a Muslim name,” says the “Queer Eye” fashion expert, whose full name is Tanveer Wasim France. “I thought, ‘OK, this really should be in the book. I want to speak for people who don’t get an opportunity to speak up.’ ” France says he’s been steered into airport holding rooms for additional screening at least 24 times. “Naturally Tan,” which hits shelves today, now includes a chapter titled “9/11” that confronts such racial profiling. The memoir doesn’t shy away from other difficult subject matter, including France’s complicated childhood and the depression he experienced while juggling ownership of three fashion businesses. But “Naturally Tan” isn’t short on upbeat material, as France sweetly reflects on meeting his husband, a “Mormon cowboy” named Rob, and takes readers behind the scenes of the Netflix sensation that is “Queer Eye.” The 36-year-old also peppers the narrative with fashion and lifestyle insights, including do’s and don’ts for wearing jeans, key first-date tips and a rundown of the best-dressed celebrities. THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)
‘Maybe’ makes for a charmingly radical rom-com
means I always think I’ll fail miserably until somebody actually does hold a mirror up and shows that I’m able to do this. When you’ve never been in front of the camera before, it can be terrifying, and I suffer from really bad anxiety a lot of the time because it’s all so new to me and I’m actually quite shy. I hope this encourages people to just step out of their comfort zone. This also is a book with lifestyle tips, and plenty of wit and humor. How did you balance the tone? I am very playful. Most people who know me know I’m seldom serious, so I wanted it to be a true reflection of who I am. My favorite line was when you recalled going to an Olive Garden on your first date with your now-husband and wondered
why the employees ask, “Are you celebrating anything today?” instead of, “What happened to your life that you’re ending up at the Olive Garden?” Actually, that was the only one that my publishers were like, “Are you sure you want this to be worded the way that it’s worded?” Because I am denigrating them at that point. But it felt appropriate. I’ve thought it for the last 10 years — why do they ask that question? It makes no sense. So I’m glad you enjoyed it! Netflix has announced you’ll be co-hosting the competition series “Next in Fashion” with Alexa Chung. What made that a good fit? It’s a really fun, fast-paced show, and the designers are world-class. I was so boisterous every time I’d get on set, thinking, “I can’t believe I get to do this for a job.”
Geena Davis, David Lynch to receive honorary Oscars
FILM REVIEW Ali Wong and Randall Park make for a cute non-couple in “Always Be My Maybe,” a sweet and sassy rom-com about childhood friends — and, briefly, teenage lovers — who reconnect as mismatched 30-somethings to discover, well, what most characters do in these sorts of things. The movie, which hit Netflix on Friday, breaks no ground plotwise. But under the assured direction of Nahnatchka Khan, it takes time to focus on the relationship as much as the gags — which are good and plentiful. “Always” focuses on Wong’s character, a celebrity chef named Sasha. After she and her fiance (Daniel Dae Kim) break up, Sasha reestablishes a friendship with Marcus (Park), an unambitious musician. The screenplay — which features Wong and Park as co-writers — settles into a relaxed groove. If Sasha and Marcus seem like an impossible match, “Maybe” makes room for their connection. The film takes a laid-back approach to the subtext of ethnicity and assimilation. The fact that Park is Korean American and Wong of Chinese and Vietnamese background is hardly the point. What matters more is a strong, sexy woman who’s comfortable being the breadwinner, and a man who isn’t afraid to carry her purse. In that sense, Sasha and Marcus are, in their own way, quietly radical. MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

TODAY: This will easily be the nicest day of the week. After a chilly start, the strong June sunshine will push temperatures into the very comfortable mid-70s for the afternoon high. Breezes will be very gentle. Clouds will increase overnight and a shower by the predawn hours can’t be ruled out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) This is no time for feelings of invincibility. Indeed, the more you acknowledge your own limitations, the better.

“A black guy who raps comes along, and he’s on top of the country chart, it’s like, ‘What the f---?’ ”
JAY-Z is the first hip-hop artist to become a billionaire, Forbes reported Monday. The outlet estimated the rapper’s per’s net worth, which includes business ventures such as Armand de Brignac champagne (reportedly worth $310 0 million) and his Tidal streaming service ($100 million). Other sources — such as JAY-Z’s music catalog ($75 million) and his expansive art collection ($70 million) — were factored into Forbes’ estimate. The outlet then subtracted “a healthy amount to account for a superstar r lifestyle” to come up with the final total. (EXPRESS)
