Participants take a wide range of classes, including on dealing with PTSD and communicating effectively. They also break for recreational activities like rock climbing and fishing.

Since its founding in 2007, the nonprofit has hosted 180 retreats in seven states serving about 1,400 families. This month, it held its first retreat in Maryland, attended by the Rogerses and 10 other families.

REISTERSTOWN, MD. In 2007, Allen Rogers stopped leaving his bedroom.

“I just felt like everyone was out to get me, like I would explode if I went outside,” said Rogers, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. “Over there, you couldn’t tell the difference between a soldier and a civilian.”

For months, all he did was watch TV and eat meals delivered by his wife, Christina Rogers. He withdrew from his family. He began answering questions with shouted expletives; he stopped looking at his two children. Over three years, Christina suffered 400 seizures, which doctors told her appeared to be brought on solely by stress.

“We offer a sanctuary, a safe space of healing: We’re connecting them back to themselves and their immediate family,” Ehle said.

The Rogerses flew seven hours from their Nampa, Idaho, home to Reisterstown, Md., eager to repeat the life-changing experience they had at the June 2016 Project Sanctuary retreat in Grand County, Colo.

Since their first retreat, Allen has isolated himself less, obeying Christina’s requests that he run errands, go for walks, get outside.

Bill proposed to require AC

conditioning might cause rents to rise. But in the face of soaring temperatures, he said, that would be “a risk worth taking.”

Hucker agreed. “Access to AC is not really a comfort issue,” he said Tuesday, as the temperature rose to 92, with a heat index of 99. “It’s a life-or-death issue in weather like this.”

Hucker said his office is not sure how many tenants in Montgomery are living without the service. Losak said tenants often have no recourse when their units experience disruptions.

“Many tenants we deal with are going days or weeks without

THE WASHINGTON POST

MARYLAND With summer temperatures sizzling, officials in Montgomery County are considering what would be a first-in-the-region law mandating air conditioning in all rental properties.

A bill introduced Tuesday by Montgomery County Council member Tom Hucker, D-District 5, would require landlords to provide and maintain air conditioning during the summer for the estimated 300,000 tenants in the county of 1 million residents.

Montgomery currently requires landlords to provide heating but not air conditioning.

Some jurisdictions in the Washington area require landlords to maintain air conditioning if they provide it, but none have imposed a blanket requirement of the type that Hucker is proposing. He and others said they are still researching whether any jurisdictions in the United States have done so.

Nicola Y. Whiteman, senior vice president of government affairs at the Apartment and Office Building Association of Metropolitan Washington, said government officials should allow enough time for landlords to service air conditioning units as part of any requirements.

Matt Losak, executive director of the Montgomery County Renters Alliance, said that forcing landlords to provide air

working AC,” he said.

In D.C., landlords are not required to provide air conditioning unless stated in their leases.

If they do provide air conditioning, however, D.C. landlords are obliged to ensure it is in “safe and good working condition.”

The region has not been spared from the global heat wave that has led to some of the warmest months on record this summer.

The first heat-related death in Maryland this year was reported two weeks ago in Anne Arundel County. The state received more than 450 complaints of heatrelated illnesses from July 2 to July 8, with Montgomery — the state’s most populous jurisdiction — logging the second most after Baltimore County.

Temperatures in the area could hit 100 degrees this weekend.

With humidity, it may feel like 110 or higher. “Our policy needs to catch up with the reality of climate change,” Hucker said.

When heat exceeds 95 degrees in Montgomery County, homeless shelters, which close during the day, are encouraged to stay open, and the county directs residents to local “cooling centers.”

Hucker said these measures are not a panacea. “[Tenants] are heavily seniors, they’re heavily low-income, and they’re heavily black and Hispanic. Some are disabled or immobile,” he said. “It’s great to have cooling centers, but not everyone can take advantage of that.”

The council will hold a hearing on the bill in September.

The study from the Union of Concerned Scientists — first reported by WAMU — made projections with the assumption that the world will take no serious action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If policies to limit climate change pass in the coming decades, the number of days that feel like 100 degrees or more could be lowered to 30 per year on average, according to the analysis. The current number of such days is about seven. (EXPRESS)

local Despite leader scandals, second-quarter totals far outstrip the GOP’s POLITICS Virginia Democrats raised more money than Republicans over the past three months through state party and leadership committees, despite a string of executive branch scandals that threatened to overshadow pivotal General Assembly races in November.

Democratic G ov. R a lph Northam’s political action committee raised $309,707 between

April 1 and June 30, according to campaign finance figures compiled Tuesday by the nonprofit Virginia Public Access Project.

That is considerably less than what his two immediate predecessors raised at the same points in their terms. Terry McAuliffe, D, raised $1 million in the second quarter of 2015, while Robert McDonnell, R, raised $1.5 million in the same period in 2011.

But in all, the Democratic Party and various committees took in $3.7 million over the quarter, compared with $1.6 million raised by comparable

GOP political action committees.

Some regard cash on hand as a more reliable indicator of financial strength. The Democratic Party and committees had $4.9 million on hand, compared with $3.7 million for Republican PACs. GOP candidates, however, maintained a lead in cash on hand.

Democrats saw the reports as a sign that the party is moving past the scandals of the state’s three top leaders. The party believes it will have the money to wrest control of the legislature from Republicans in the fall.

Unlikely voice of high court’s liberal wing 1920-2019 John Paul Stevens, the bow-tied, independent-thinking, Republican-nominated justice who unexpectedly emerged as the Supreme Court’s leading liberal, died Tuesday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after suffering a stroke Monday. He was 99.

During nearly 35 years on the court, Stevens stood for the freedom and dignity of individuals, be they students or immigrants or prisoners. He acted to limit the death penalty, squelch official prayer in schools, establish gay rights, promote racial equality and preserve legal abortion. He protected the rights of crime suspects and illegal immigrants facing deportation.

He influenced fellow justices to give foreign terrorism suspects held for years at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, naval base the right to plead for their release in U.S. courts.

Stevens served more than twice the average tenure for a

64%

justice, and was only the second to mark his 90th birthday on the high court. From his appointment

by President Gerald Ford in 1975 through his retirement in June 2010, he shaped decisions that touched countless aspects of American life.

“He brought to our bench an inimitable blend of kindness, humility, wisdom and independence. His unrelenting commitment to justice has left us a better nation,” Chief Justice John Roberts said in a statement.

He remained an active writer and speaker into his late 90s, surprising some when he came out against Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation following Kavanaugh’s angry denial of sexual assault allegations. Stevens wrote an autobiography, “The Making of a Justice: My First 94 Years,” that was released just after his 99th birthday in April 2019.

At first considered a centrist, Stevens came to be seen as a lion

of liberalism. But he rejected that characterization.

“I don’t think of myself as a liberal at all,” Stevens told The New York Times in 2007. “I think as part of my general politics, I’m pretty darn conservative.”

Born in 1920, Stevens was a privileged child of a bygone era: He met Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh at the family hotel and was at the ballpark when Babe Ruth hit his famous “called-shot” home run in the

1932 World Series.

In 2012, President Barack Obama, who had chosen Solicitor General Elena Kagan to replace Justice Stevens after his retirement in June 2010, bestowed on Justice Stevens the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor.

Perhaps a more personal tribute occurred on his final day on the bench, when lawyers and spectators throughout the U.S. Supreme Court chamber wore bow ties in his honor.

Stevens will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. His second wife, Maryan, died in 2015 and was buried at the cemetery.

The gravestone they will share has stood at Arlington, inscribed with both their names, since then.

F u nera l pl a ns h ave not yet been announced, but Stevens is expected to be the 13th Supreme Court justice to be buried at the cemetery.

June tops heat record; July off to a toasty start ENVIRONMENT Boosted by a historic heat wave in Europe and unusually warm conditions across the Arctic and Eurasia, the average temperature of the planet last month made it the hottest June ever recorded.

According to data released Monday by NASA, the global average temperature was 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit above the June norm (based on a 1951-to-1980 baseline), easily breaking the 2016 June record of 1.5 degrees above the average.

Last month was punctuated by a severe heat wave that struck Western Europe in particular during the last week, with numerous all-time temperature records falling in countries with centuries-old data sets. For example, it hit 114.6 degrees in Gallargues-leMontueux, France.

July is picking up where June left off. Zeke Hausfather, a climate scientist in Berkeley, Calif., tweeted that the month so far ranks as the hottest on record, narrowly ahead of 2017.

The June monthly record and July’s toasty first half raise the chances that 2019 could make a run for a top-three finish for warmest year, rather than top five. According to data from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, nine of the 10 warmest years on record have occurred since 2000, a trend that scientists have tied mainly to human emissions of greenhouse gases.

nation+world House votes to kill impeachment bill

Cabinet members held in criminal contempt on census documents

MARK WILSON (GETTY IMAGES)

POLITICS The House on Wednesday voted to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in criminal contempt for failing to provide documents related to the Trump administration’s efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, escalating the fight between Democrats and the White House over congressional oversight.

The 230-198 vote along party lines came one day after the House approved a resolution condemning President Trump’s racist remarks aimed at four minority congresswomen.

The impact of the contempt vote is largely symbolic. Those found in criminal contempt are normally referred to the Justice Department for prosecution; in this instance, the Justice Department would not prosecute itself.

After several legal defeats on the census issue, Trump last week retreated from his efforts to add the question, announcing that he will instead order federal agencies to provide the Commerce Department with records on the numbers of citizens and

The vote was 332-95 as House Democratic leaders, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, joined with Republicans to stop the measure.

FaceApp has altered photos for more than 80 million users since its 2017 release.

FaceApp differs from other photo-editing applications because it uses artificial intelligence to alter your photo, instead of slapping a filter on it.

The app is owned by Wireless Lab, a company based in St. Petersburg, Russia, and has legal jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, Calif.

Amid all the buzz about the app, some are urging consumers to review its privacy terms carefully before using it. Baptiste Robert, a French security researcher who uses the pseudonym Elliot Alderson, said he looked into the traffic between FaceApp on his phone and the internet to understand how the network operates for users.

“When you upload your photo, you have no idea how your photo is used,” he said, noting that the app’s terms and conditions are vague. “Don’t rush to use this application, because you don’t know how your data is used after that.” HANNAH DENHAM (TWP)

Pro-democracy leader Ahmad al-Rabiah, left, and Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, right, sign a power agreement.

Sudanese groups reach a deal to share power Military, then civilians would lead council, with elections after 3 years KHARTOUM, SUDAN Sudan’s pro-democracy movement and the ruling military council signed a document early Wednesday that outlines a powersharing deal, but the two sides are still at work on a more contentious constitutional agreement that would specify the division of powers.

The signing ceremony held in the capital, Khartoum, after overnight talks, marks an important step in the transition to civilian rule following the military overthrow of long-ruling

autocrat Omar al-Bashir amid mass protests in April.

But the military appears to have the upper hand, following weeks of negotiations and a deadly crackdown last month in which security forces violently dispersed protesters’ main sit-in.

The document would establish a joint civilian-military sovereign council that would rule Sudan for a little over three years while elections are organized.

A military leader will head the 11-member council for the first 21 months, followed by a civilian leader for the next 18.

It marks a significant concession by the protesters, who had demanded an immediate transition to civilian rule. The

pro-democracy movement would appoint a Cabinet, and the two sides would agree on a legislative body within three months of the start of the transition.

The Communist Party said it and some other factions rejected the deal because it didn’t include the immediate handover of power to civilians and did not provide for an international investigation of the violence.

Protest organizers say security forces killed at least 128 people during last month’s crackdown. Authorities put the death toll at 61. The two sides have agreed on a Sudanese investigation into the violence, but have yet to outline its scope.

A Nebraska woman has been fined $1,000 for climbing Mount Rushmore.

Authorities say Alexandria Incontro, 30, scaled the massive granite rock face Friday with bare feet and no rope, making it to about 15 feet from the top.

The Rapid City Journal says Incontro chose a route between George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, whose faces are about 60 feet tall. Several signs at the popular tourist destination warn against climbing the sculpture, which was completed in 1941. A federal officer and national park ranger persuaded Incontro to come down, and she was handcuffed and arrested.

She appeared Monday in federal court in Rapid City, S.D., and pleaded guilty to climbing the monument.

How opioids flooded the U.S. Newly released data offers an unprecedented look at the surge of pain pills that fueled a deadly epidemic HEALTH America’s largest drug companies saturated the country with 76 billion oxycodone and hydrocodone pain pills from 2006 through 2012 as the nation’s deadliest drug epidemic spun out of control, according to previously undisclosed company data released as part of the largest civil action in U.S. history.

The information comes from a database maintained by the Drug Enforcement Administration that tracks the path of every single pain pill sold in the United States — from manufacturers and distributors to pharmacies in every town and city. The data provides an unprecedented look at the surge of legal pain pills that fueled the prescription opioid epidemic, which resulted in nearly 100,000 deaths from 2006 through 2012.

Just six companies distributed 75% of the pills during this period: McKesson, Walgreens, Cardinal Health, AmerisourceBergen, CVS and Walmart, according to an analysis of the database by The Washington Post.

Three companies manufactured 88% of the opioids: SpecGx, a subsidiary of Mallinckrodt; Actavis Pharma; and Par Pharmaceutical, a subsidiary of Endo Pharmaceuticals.

Purdue Pharma, which the plaintiffs allege sparked the epidemic in the 1990s with its introduction of OxyContin, its version of oxycodone, was ranked fourth among manufacturers, with about 3% of the market.

The volume of the pills handled by the companies skyrocketed as the epidemic surged, increasing about 50% from 8.4 billion in 2006 to 12.6 billion in 2012. By contrast, doses of morphine, a well-known treatment for severe pain, averaged

Pills by the billions The number of pills drug companies sold from 2006 through 2012 is staggering, far exceeding what had been previously disclosed. (TWP) Three companies distributed nearly half of the pills: McKesson with 14.1 billion, Walgreens with 12.6 billion and Cardinal Health with 10.7 billion.

The leading manufacturer was Mallinckrodt’s SpecGx with nearly 28.9 billion pills, or nearly 38% of the market.

The states that received the highest concentrations of pills per person per year were: West Virginia with 66.5, Kentucky with 63.3, South Carolina with 58, Tennessee with 57.7 and Nevada with 54.7. West Virginia also had the highest opioid death rate during this period.

Rural areas were hit particularly hard: the city of Norton, Va,, with 306 pills per person; the city of Martinsville, Va., with 242; Mingo County, W.V., with 203; and Perry County, Ky., with 175.

In a country of 306 million, the companies distributed enough pills to supply every adult and child with 36 each year.

slightly more than 500 million a year during the period.

Those 10 companies, along with about a dozen others, are now being sued in federal court in Cleveland by nearly 2,000 cities, towns and counties alleging

that they conspired to flood the nation with opioids. The companies, in turn, have blamed the epidemic on overprescribing by doctors and pharmacies and on customers who abused the drugs.

The companies say they were

working to supply the needs of patients with legitimate prescriptions desperate for pain relief.

The database reveals what each company knew about the number of pills it was shipping and dispensing and precisely when they were aware of those volumes. In case after case, the companies allowed the drugs to reach the streets of communities large and small, despite persistent red flags that those pills were being sold in apparent violation of federal law and diverted to the black market, according to the lawsuits.

Plaintiffs have long accused drug manufacturers and wholesalers of fueling the opioid epidemic by producing and distributing billions of pain pills while making billions of dollars. The companies have paid more than $1 billion in fines over opioid-related issues, and hundreds of millions more to settle state lawsuits.

addressed only a portion of the problem, never allowing the public to see the size and scope of the behavior underlying the epidemic.

Until now, the litigation has proceeded in unusual secrecy.

Many filings and exhibits in the case have been sealed under a judicial protective order. The secrecy was finally lifted after The Washington Post and HD Media, which publishes the Charleston Gazette-Mail in West Virginia, waged a yearlong legal battle for access to documents and data from the case. On Monday evening, U.S. District Judge Dan Polster removed the protective order for part of the database, the Automation of Reports and Consolidated Order System (ARCOS).

“The data provides statistical insights that help pinpoint the origins and spread of the opioid epidemic — an epidemic that thousands of communities across the country argue was both sparked and inflamed by opioid manufacturers, distributors and pharmacies,” said Paul Farrell of West Virginia, co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs.

In statements emailed to The Post on Tuesday, the drug distributors stressed that the ARCOS data would not exist unless they had accurately reported shipments and questioned why the government had not done more to address the crisis.

“The depth and penetration of the opioid epidemic becomes readily apparent from the data,” said Peter Mougey, a lawyer for plaintiffs from Pensacola, Fla. “This disclosure will serve as a wakeup call to every community. ...

America should brace itself for the harsh reality of the scope of the opioid epidemic. Transparency will lead to accountability.” SCOTT HIGHAM, SARI HORWITZ AND STEVEN RICH (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Tiafoe seeks new heights after setback

In the 50 games before Wednesday’s outing, 20-year-old Juan Soto had a .354 batting average.

THOMAS BOSWELL | THE WASHINGTON POST

Pump the brakes: Overhyping Nats’ Soto hard to resist Nationals fans of the 21st century are gold-plated, certified, blueribbon experts in only one area of baseball.

They can’t testify to the relative merits of fabulous World Series games. Give it time — plenty of time. But when it comes to evaluating, enjoying, debating and understanding the career progressions of young phenoms who might become legends, they already have far more experience than is usually packed into just 15 seasons.

In his past 50 games — excluding Wednesday night’s game, which ended after Express’ deadline — left fielder Juan Soto, age 20, hit .354.

With the Nationals down to their last out Saturday in Philadelphia, his two-run homer turned a loss into a win. He hit a 443-foot home run Tuesday night in Baltimore, along with

an RBI single, in an 8-1 win.

What’s odd is that Soto does not look red hot. Mostly, he just looks normal. We’ve been here before, wondering how special a young Nats player will be.

Washington fans have come to know, and love, wondering, “How high?” In fact, Washington has enjoyed such projection uncertainty — a condition also referred to as “hope” — more times than seems possible.

From the arrival of Ryan Zimmerman, at age 20, late in 2005, Nats fans have been saying, “What have we here?” By the time Zimmerman was 25, he ranked in the top 40 players in history in WAR at that age.

A Hall of Famer? If everything fell in place, maybe. It didn’t.

But the first Face of the Franchise nevertheless has 1,002 RBIs and a permanent place in local memories.

Since then, the Nats have welcomed and fantasized about

the futures of, Stephen Strasburg, who struck out 14 in his debut at 21; Bryce Harper, who was rookie of the year at 19 and MVP at 22; and Trea Turner, who hit .342 as a rookie and put up half-season stats worthy of prime Tim Raines, who’s in Cooperstown. All-Star Anthony Rendon has kept improving and may be the highest-priced free agent of the 2019 offseason.

If the fans in any town should know better than to predict Hall of Fame careers for young players, it’s Nats fans.

Even Harper, now a Phillie, is starting to look like “only” a possible Hall of Famer, not a highly probable one.

So we need to chill on Soto, though it’s difficult. Will he get hurt, the way a broken wrist and finger knocked big chunks out of Turner’s 2017 and 2019 seasons? Will a career-changing injury, such as Strasburg’s blown elbow in his ninth MLB start, force him to re-create himself? Will he grind his body down to help the Nats in NL East races as Zimmerman did?

When we watch Soto, we cross our fingers. Few fan bases know more than Washington’s how hard it is to go from projections and dreams to illustrious long careers. For 15 seasons, a steady stream of these players has arrived,

D.C.-area native Frances Tiafoe spent his 21st birthday this year at the Australian Open, reaching his first Grand Slam quarterfinal, rocketing to No. 29 in the world. The next two majors ended in first-round exits. Now ranked No. 41, Tiafoe is in his third season with the Washington Kastles, playing on the rooftop at Union Market. “I really like it,” he said. “I’m just here ready to get a win. … It’s almost more nerve-racking playing here” than Wimbledon, he said, because he knows many local fans.

Tiafoe, who is also slated for the Citi Open beginning July 29, is confident that he’ll return to a top-tier ranking. Said Mark Ein, the Kastles owner who also runs the Citi Open: “I’m so proud to call him one of our own.” (TWP)

entertaining us for years.

Try to predict the future, including Soto’s, if you must.

I seldom resist. But if you’re a fan who loves a daily dose of watching elite careers as they develop, then know when you’ve gotten lucky. It doesn’t get much better than this.

The 8th Annual Day of Archaeology Festival

NBCSW changing voice of Wizards Longtime play-by-play caller Buckhantz gone, replaced by Kutcher WIZARDS NBC Sports Washington on Wednesday introduced its new Wizards play-by-play man. Fox Sports announcer Justin Kutcher will replace Steve Buckhantz, who called Wizards games for the past 22 years.

Kutcher, who has lived in Charlotte the last nine years, has family in D.C. “My brother-in-law said, ‘Honestly, if it wasn’t you replacing him, I’d be upset,’” Kutcher, 39, said. “I know that everyone’s going to be like, ‘Who is this Justin Kutcher guy?’ I get it, I totally understand it, and, frankly, I’d be the same way. If it were my team and I had this allegiance to a broadcaster for over 20 years, change is tough. I’m not looking to be him. I have the utmost respect for what he’s done.”

Kutcher has 17 years of playby-play experience with CSTV, Big Ten Network, CBS Sports Network, ESPN and Fox Sports.

Since joining Fox Sports in 2012, he has broadcast a variety of sports, including MLB, college football and college basketball.

and Caron Butler will share the TV analyst role alongside Kutcher, with Gooden calling a majority of the games. The analyst position became available when Kara Lawson, Buckhantz’s broadcast partner for the past two seasons, was hired as an assistant coach by the Celtics last month.

Gooden, who played the final three seasons of his 14-year NBA career in Washington, has contributed to NBCSW’s pregame and postgame coverage since 2017.

Butler was a fan favorite during his five seasons with the Wizards and averaged a careerhigh 20.8 points in 2008-09. He worked as an NBA and college basketball analyst for ESPN, Fox Sports, Turner and NBA TV over the past two years. SCOTT ALLEN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Rosslyn Putt-Putt + Candy Bar puts a new spin on happy hour GAMES A round of miniature golf is one of summer’s pleasures, whether you’re putt-putting past pirate statues at a course by the beach or playing in a regional park closer to home. It works equally well as part of a date night or a group outing with friends.

And it’s definitely not the kind of thing you’d expect to find

popping up in the plaza outside a Rosslyn office building.

Rosslyn Putt-Putt + Candy Bar, open through at least the end of August, is a nine-hole course sponsored by the neighborhood Business Improvement District, whose annual surveys showed that residents and workers wanted “more entertainment” and “more nightlife” in an area known more for office towers than artsy installations.

So now there are nine temporary mini-golf holes in what had been a small park at Wilson

It’s more fun than sitting in another been-there, done-that happy hour bar or being packed into Jazz in the Garden. Plus, mini-golfing at least lets you feel like you’re being active, right?

Each of the holes at the Rosslyn Putt-Putt + Candy Bar has a local theme.

It would be nice to fit in a massage at Georgetown Massage and Bodywork. Thai yoga massage is my favorite. It’s a little different; it’s done on a mat and you wear clothes and it’s almost like passive yoga — they call it “the lazy man’s yoga.” The practitioner massages you, does a lot of stretching and they put you in these crazy yoga poses. It feels really good.

‘We’ve got to get down to business’

Lady Dane says black women don’t get enough credit for their contributions.

jazz, funk, blues and go-go tunes.

She’s planning a “bad bitch” medley celebrating singers who owned their sexuality, such as Millie Jackson, who delivered explicit songs like “Slow Tongue,” and Grace Jones, whose “Pull Up to the Bumper” scared off radio program directors with its suggestive lyrics.

Lady Dane says one of the reasons she’s devoting her cabaret to black women is because they don’t get enough credit for their contributions to society. Black transgender activists like Marsha P. Johnson, one of the crucial figures of the Stonewall uprising that ushered in the modern-day LGBTQ rights movement, are often overlooked.

“At the heart of so many of those resistance movements were black women and particularly what we would call black trans women,” Lady Dane says.

“My very existence is a tribute to their legacy of resistance.”

Her cabaret premieres about a month after the fatal shooting of Zoe Spears, a 23-year-old black

transgender woman who lived in Fairmount Heights, Md., just outside the District. Just months before that, Spears witnessed the shooting death of Ashanti Carmon, a black transgender woman, in the same town.

Lady Dane says she wants people to consider whether their complacency has contributed to violence against black transgender people, and to seek out meaningful ways to support them. At the cabaret, she’ll call on the audience to take steps to dismantle white supremacy, which she says has shaped the world and given birth to transphobia.

“Everyone will be looking at me, paying attention to me, and if I have that privilege, that platform, that time, it is my responsibility to use it to speak out against injustice,” Lady Dane says. “Yeah, we can have a fun time … but then there are also moments where we’ve got to get down to business.”

STAGE When Lady Dane Figueroa Edidi was growing up in Baltimore in the 1980s and ’90s, one of the few times she felt she wasn’t scrutinized for being a transgender girl was when she’d belt out Patti LaBelle songs during performances in her home, her school and her church.

“People can talk about you, say whatever they want to say about you, but your art, and your talent and your gift, really speaks for itself,” says Lady Dane, an artist, author and activist. “And when I’m sitting there performing Patti LaBelle, baby, they were enthralled and so the art really, really protected me.”

In a performance Tuesday at Studio Theater called “Werk!

A Cabaret Celebrating Black Women,” Lady Dane will weave in stories about her life as she delivers songs, comedy and real talk to honor some of the cis- and transgender black women who’ve influenced her.

For part of the show, she’ll perform singing tributes to the late divas she says helped save her, like Aretha Franklin, Nancy Wilson and her aunt Elizabeth F. Byrd, a jazz singer and the first person in Lady Dane’s family to earn a college degree.

“She was an academic, an activist and an artist — she was the three A’s — and so she taught me that I could be all those things,” Lady Dane says. “I could be smart, I could be beautiful. …

She taught me that I don’t have to limit myself to simply just one of my gifts. I can operate on all of my gifts.”

During the show, Lady Dane will sing favorites from the past four decades, including gospel,

Follow him to these 3 cool nature spots

We aren’t just being wimps — D.C. summers really are the worst. That’s according to Bruce M. Beehler, right, a D.C.-based naturalist who has camped in tropical rainforests from Papua New Guinea to Ivory Coast. “D.C. summers are substantially worse than New Guinea’s worst days,” Beehler says. Unlike at the equator, our summer days are very long, which gives the sun plenty of time to bring the air to a rolling boil, he adds. And yet, it would be a shame to stay indoors, says Beehler, the author of “Natural Encounters: Biking, Hiking, and Birding Through the Seasons,” which he’ll discuss at Politics and Prose on Sunday. As he describes in the book, summer is a great time to explore the Mid-Atlantic. You just have to head for the hills — specifically, the Appalachian Mountains. In these higher altitudes, temperatures are more comfortable and natural wonders abound: Wildflowers reach to the sky, butterflies dance on the breeze and whiny fledglings chase their parents around, begging for snacks — “just like human teenagers,” Beehler says. These three gorgeous spots, profiled in Beehler’s book, are some of his favorite summer destinations, and they’re all just a few hours’ drive from D.C.

Dolly Sods Wilderness in West Virginia

Canaan Valley in West Virginia

Frostburg, Md.

On the highest plateau east of the Mississippi, midsummer temperatures start in the 50s and rarely reach 80 — and it often feels colder, thanks to steady winds. “You’ll want to pack a parka,” Beehler says. Hiking this area of Monongahela National Forest can be challenging, but you’re rewarded with views that go on forever and a picturesque, austere landscape of bare rock dotted with stunted conifers that have been permanently tilted by the wind. “You can look down into the ridges and see the flowering plants — the laurels and the rhododendrons, which are mixed in with spruce and balsam firs,” he says. “It’s pretty darn nice.”

A popular ski area, this high Appalachian valley is even more gorgeous in the summertime, Beehler says. “It’s just an endless carpet of green,” he says. Plus, temperatures rarely rise above the mid-70s, even in July. Unlike rugged Dolly Sods, Canaan Valley is easy to hike, because it’s relatively flat and protected from the wind. “They have a national wildlife refuge, and the birds that are seen around the woods there are the same birds you hear in northern New England,” which has a comparable climate this time of year. In midsummer, you’ll also see enormous deer and perhaps a black bear or two.

High in the Allegheny Mountains, this charming college town enjoys average midsummer temperatures ranging from about 60 to 80 degrees. “It’s a great little town with great hiking and bird-watching nearby,” Beehler says. One of his favorite spots is Dan’s Rock. “It’s a spectacular vista. You can see all these Appalachian mountain ridges to the east, 10 or 12 of them.” The area is also a great place to spot two of Maryland’s rarest birds: the golden-winged warbler and Henslow’s sparrow, both of which nest in grasslands that have sprouted on former mountaintop strip mines. “If you get up really early, look for a gray fox,” Beehler says. “It’s a glorious creature.”

GO-GO

Musicians and #DontMuteDC activists vow to keep the beats alive in a changing city

Central Communications played a big part in the fight to preserve go-go.

MUSIC Ghetto. Ratchet. Amateur.

Frank “Scooby” Sirius and his band, Sirius Company, say they’ve heard this all before.

These are just some of the insults that have been pelted at D.C.’s go-go community for years by its critics, a weapon used by the

after Central Communications, a MetroPCS vendor on the corner of Seventh Street and Florida Avenue NW, was forced by parent company T-Mobile to turn off the go-go music playing through its outdoor speakers following a complaint from a resident at luxury apartment building The

city’s transplants to undermine the District’s homegrown sound.

But now, silencing go-go just got a lot harder.

The #DontMuteDC movement has amplified the music in a way that hasn’t been seen in recent history — if at all. The social media hashtag surfaced in April,

Shay, located a block away. After a protest outside the store and a #DontMuteDC petition garnering thousands of signatures, Central Communications was given the green light by T-Mobile to turn the music back on. The incident ignited a movement, built around #DontMuteDC, to keep go-go

alive in a gentrifying city — a movement that’s just getting started.

“I thought it was kind of ironic the way that it happened, with the complaining over the music outside the store,” Sirius says.

“We’ve never stopped pushing our music, so to have somebody from somewhere else kind of push us to the forefront is kind of surreal.”

Go-go, the percussion-driven genre that fuses funk, R&B and hip-hop, originated in D.C. in the ’70s, with Chuck Brown and other pioneers propelling it to new heights. These days, bands including Sirius Company are refreshing the sound for a new generation and introducing it to new spaces: Each Wednesday, the group brings its pop- and jazzinfused go-go to Ivy City’s City

activist Ronald Moten and Howard University assistant professor Natalie Hopkinson, who are leading the charge for the #DontMuteDC movement. For years, go-go venues disappeared in the city due to gentrification and the Metropolitan Police Department cracking down on club violence.

In 2010, Washington City Paper revealed that the police prepared a biweekly “go-go report” to keep tabs on the community and upcoming concerts.

“Displacement has been a fight for me since 1995,” Moten says.

“Don [Campbell], who owns the MetroPCS in Shaw, had called me several times in the past when he owned a club off of U Street,

Winery and demonstrates that no, go-go isn’t “ghetto,” “ratchet” or using “pots and pans” to play music — another misconception the band members say they’ve heard.

“It’s important that people just bring a sense of open-mindedness to our shows,” says Sirius Company saxophonist Jon Williams. “When we played at the French Embassy, Scooby did a rendition of a Phil Collins song and we had people say, ‘Man, that was the best rendition of Phil Collins I had ever heard!’ ” Go-go’s migration to more D.C. venues in recent years is a major win in a long battle against displacement, say anti-violence

Club 1919. They were trying to shut him down with all the other go-go clubs in D.C.” So when the Central Communications incident happened, it wasn’t all that shocking to Moten and Hopkinson. But it was the moment that brought the fight for go-go to a fever pitch. Once the #DontMuteDC hashtag took off, the duo started a Change .org petition to bring those lively sounds back to Campbell’s storefront. That’s when things really took off.

“We had over 80,000 people sign the petition, and thousands of people take to the streets for musical demonstrations,” Hopkinson says. “And to see all the comments on the petition, people putting their heart into saying what go-go meant to them, that’s really important. That’s our history, that’s our culture and that’s our identity as a city.”

This outpouring of support went national last month when the BET Awards and host Regina Hall, a D.C. native, dedicated the show’s opening number to the city. The musical tribute featured appearances from go-go legends James Funk of Rare Essence and Gregory “Sugar Bear” Elliott of Experience Unlimited.

At the end, a screen flashed the emblematic hashtag #DontMuteDC to millions of viewers.

“My phone started buzzing and ringing off the hook when it happened,” Hopkinson says.

“People were sending me texts from all over. I have friends in Brooklyn, friends in London, and people were saying, ‘Thank you, D.C., for holding down the line because gentrification is out of hand here too.’ ” So how can the city preserve go-go while undergoing rapid change? For starters, #DontMuteDC has biweekly policy strategy meetings at Southeast clothing store Check It Enterprises to educate the public on current issues. Other movements, including Long Live GoGo — which Elijah Jamal Balbed predates #DontMuteDC — are hosting protests and regular mu- a musician who performs under sic events to keep up the energy the name Yaddiya. Johnson has led a series of Moechella musisurrounding go-go.

“The go-go music that’s played cal demonstrations over the past outside [Central Communica- year (the name is a nod to the tions] adds a vibrant energy to regional slang term “moe,” used that area — it’s the heartbeat to reference a friend or acquainof that area,” says Long Live tance, and the music festival GoGo founder Justin Johnson, Coachella) to bring attention to

go-go’s displacement.

Within the go-go community itself, musicians such as saxophonist Elijah Jamal Balbed, 29, of jazz-go-go band JoGo Project and the Chuck Brown Band, say the music’s longevity also depends on local artists working hand in hand with city officials.

“I think more artists can take it upon themselves to get involved politically and advocate for themselves as well as others,” Balbed says, citing the recent DC Music Census, which was launched by the city in June to gather information about the local music scene.

The fight to preserve go-go against gentrification takes a village — and it’s a challenge Moten embraces.

“We just got to keep it going. And it’s hard, because there are always going to be people who come in and try to infiltrate it and tear it down because they don’t want to see your mission accomplished,” he says. “But our goal is to see this mission through.”

Here are five ways to add more go-go to your life this month ‘Take Me Out to the Go-Go: The Autobiography of Kato Hammond’ Solid State Books, 600F H St. NE; Thu., 7 p.m., free.

Musician Kato Hammond, formerly of bands Pure Elegance and Proper Utensils, shares news updates and information about community events through his website tmottgogo.com. But Hammond also has an interesting story of his own, which he revealed in “Take Me Out to the Go-Go.” Thursday’s discussion of the 2015 book, which traces Hammond’s formative years in the early days of D.C.’s go-go scene, is part of the DC Public Library’s ongoing Go-Go Book Club series that began last month.

Chuck Brown Band Bethesda Blues & Jazz Supper Club, 7719 Wisconsin Ave, Bethesda; Fri., 8 p.m., $30.

Since the Godfather of Go-Go passed away in 2012, a group of dedicated musicians has kept his legacy alive through his project, the Chuck Brown Band. With a driving horn section and layers of throbbing percussion, the band brings the music and spirit of the D.C. icon to a new generation of fans.

Sugar Bear Birthday Celebration Bethesda Blues & Jazz Supper Club, 7719 Wisconsin Ave, Bethesda; July 27, 8 p.m., $30,

July 28, 7 p.m., $30.

When Experience Unlimited (aka E.U.) released “Da Butt” in 1988 as part of Spike Lee’s “School Daze” soundtrack, the song became a cultural phenomenon that garnered the group a Grammy nod. Three decades later, the band is still an active force in the world of go-go.

Frontman Gregory “Sugar Bear” Elliott, above, will host not one but two birthday parties at Bethesda Blues & Jazz Supper Club that promise a bevy of surprise guests.

Team Familiar City Winery, 1350 Okie St. NE; July 29, 7:30 p.m., $22.

The rapid-fire energy of Team Familiar has kept D.C. dancing since the early 2000s. The group is fronted by veteran musician Donnell Floyd, who performed with go-go greats Rare Essence for almost two decades before starting several projects of his own. Floyd is set to retire at the end of the year, so if you have yet to see him with Team Familiar, this is the time to do so.

Sirius Company City Winery, 1350 Okie St. NE; Wednesdays, 9 p.m., $22-$25.

Sirius Company keeps you on your toes — not just on the dance floor, but also through its expansive sound. With Kim “Ms. Kim” Michelle and Frank “Scooby” Sirius of the Chuck Brown Band at the helm, the band reimagines traditional go-go by adding pop and jazz influences.

Folksy rock band Lord Huron has built a following in a very modern way: by having its songs placed in TV shows and movies. “It’s been our version of the radio,” says singer Ben Schneider. “I like the idea that somebody thinks that our song can help support whatever story they’re telling.” Before a concert next week behind last year’s “Vide Noir,” Schneider riffed on three random songs that popped into his head.

Merriweather Post Pavilion: Third Eye Blind and Jimmy Eat World, 7 p.m.

Nilüfer Yanya: It’s rare that a debut album jumps out of the gate as assured as Nilüfer Yanya’s alluring “Miss Universe.” The 23-year-old London-based singer dabbles in a jazzy pop, but what will strike you most immediately is the ride Yanya takes you on with the sheer range of her voice and instrumentation. She is just as at home belting lovely falsetto supported by airy synths as she is delivering a gut-punching anthem of longing alongside blistering guitars. On Wednesday, she headlines U Street Music Hall.

Klosterman’s latest lampoons modern times TELEVISION

Getting real about reality TV Reality television has been around since the dawn of the medium, as popular radio shows such as “This Is Your Life,” “Candid Microphone” and “The Original Amateur Hour” made their way onto the box in the 1950s. Today, according to Nielsen, it accounts for half of all programming on broadcast and cable. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t widely misunderstood. Here are five myths, as explained by Troy DeVolld, a producer whose credits include “The Bachelor,” “Dancing With the Stars” and “Basketball Wives.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

MYTH NO. 1

MYTH NO. 2

MYTH NO. 3

MYTH NO. 4

MYTH NO. 5

Reality TV appeals to the worst in people

Reality staffers can’t handle scripted TV

Reality TV encourages brawls for ratings

Reality television is totally fake

Reality TV brought us President Trump

Speaking from experience, producing reality TV is one profession you might want to keep quiet about when introducing yourself at a Hollywood party.

Gary Oldman once called reality TV a “museum of social decay.” Some claim that exposure to the stuff can make you more self-absorbed. Yet a 2015 study found that reality shows could stimulate the parts of our brains that handle empathy. In a study by the Girl Scout Research Institute, 68% of the girls surveyed said that watching reality TV made them feel like they “can achieve anything in life.” It also has been a leader in diversity: An NAACP report from 2008 found that nonwhite people were underrepresented in almost every part of the TV industry — except in reality show casts.

Reality producers and on-camera talent rank low in the show business hierarchy. “Simpsons” writer Dana Gould summed up reality shows as “people who aren’t actors working with people who aren’t writers in an amateur production of nothing.”

Yet people often cross this genre gap. Bill Hader, co-creator of the acclaimed HBO comedy “Barry,” started out as a production assistant on shows like “The Surreal Life.” Matt Hubbard worked on MTV’s “Fear,” a paranormal reality series, before going on to win an Emmy for “30 Rock” and collecting writing and producing credits on “Superstore” and “Parks and Recreation.” Sarah Gertrude Shapiro mined her experience as a producer on “The Bachelor” to make her scripted series “UnReal.”

Critics complain about the heated confrontations that permeate reality TV. Memorable incidents include Tom punching Jax in the face on “Vanderpump Rules” and Teresa Giudice’s legendary table flip during an argument on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” Entertainment Weekly cast this as a worrying trend, saying physical outbursts are often “central to a show’s plotline.” But on-camera physical altercations are extraordinarily rare. A 2010 analysis by psychologists at Brigham Young University found that while reality television shows contained higher levels of relational aggression, they depicted “almost no physical violence.” Most shows, from “Big Brother” to “Top Chef,” actually have very strict no-violence policies.

Mike Fleiss, the wildly successful creator of “The Bachelor,” claimed in 2012 that 70% to 80% of reality shows are “fake.” Most of the time, though, the material isn’t fabricated.

It is roughly planned and then edited for time, clarity and continuity. With show budgets tightening, waiting around for something to happen isn’t an option.

So production often starts with loosely crafted outlines. These lay out a simple agenda for the episode, with items like “Cast Meets for Dinner to Discuss Trip.” Once shooting begins, however, that “shopping list” of beats often changes, based on what’s happening in the field — a cast member getting into an argument, arriving late or showing up with her pet possum on a leash.

Did reality TV give Trump the boost he needed to get into the Oval Office?

“Donald Trump had 14 seasons of carefully edited prime-time exposure to imprint a presidential impression on American minds,” say University at Buffalo psychologists, who studied how viewers formed “parasocial bonds” with the “Apprentice” host. But Trump had been a media figure for decades before “The Apprentice,” starring in ads for McDonald’s, Oreo and Pizza Hut, making movie and TV cameos, and going on talk shows. And characterizations of Trump as a reality TV star rarely mention how his other reality projects, “Pageant Place” and “The Girls of Hedsor Hall,” flopped, or how ratings for the “Apprentice” franchise dropped over time.

HBO Max orders “Gossip Girl” spinoff

Chance the Rapper album “The Big Day” due out July 26

BOOK REVIEW In Chuck Klosterman’s short story collection “Raised in Captivity,” released Tuesday, the author paints incredible alternate realities through which he can explore, obliquely, what it means to be alive today.

The book’s subtitle, “Fictional Nonfiction,” is a way in. While these stories are often absurd, they are nevertheless clearly intended as comments on where we are and where we’re headed.

In one, an algorithm is invented to delete specific Wikipedia entries; in another, a medical procedure allows expectant mothers to redirect natal pain to their partners. A rock band achieves accidental success when one of the group’s songs becomes “a runaway alt-right banger.”

The best stories here are the ones that fall on or near the line of plausibility. Topsy-turvy though it can be, Klosterman’s irony-drenched world is still recognizably our own.

Not all the stories work — 24 might have been better than 34 — and sometimes the concept is too thin, the joke too parochial.

But for the most part, “Raised in Captivity” is an engagingly sardonic collection that will leave you, like one of Klosterman’s own bewildered characters, “relaxed and confused.”

Note the use of “and” not “but” there; it is a hallmark of our times that we can exist in both states without conflict, off-kilter yet ultimately unfazed.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) A decision made early in the day pays off handsomely. But if you are forced to delay, there may be a price to pay.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You know just what has to be done today. Someone reminds you that something else must be accomplished simultaneously.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Certain pressures mount today, but you can take everything in stride — provided you are not pushed out of your comfort zone by a rival.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) How you view a coming trial will make all the difference today; you’ll want to remain positive and confident at all times.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

mustn’t let anyone tell you you’re not doing something for the right reasons.

You are — although you may be the only one who knows it.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Travel is in the picture, but you may be heading in a direction that is quite different from the one you had planned.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) All manner of influences keep you from doing something the way you had anticipated. Still, you can get it done on time and under budget.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may adopt one or two very unusual methods today, but they are likely to prove more effective because you are the one employing them.

TODAY: Showers and storms are possible as Barry’s remnants finally exit the area. Coverage should be widely scattered, but Barry’s tropical moisture could help fuel heavy downpours with any storms that flare up. Clouds keep highs in check, although it still will be uncomfortable with temps in the upper 80s to low 90s.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may be surprised at how fast things happen all around you today. You can keep up, but you might have to make one small sacrifice.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can be anything you want to be, as long as you take the time to fully prepare and equip yourself with the right tools.

In a Tuesday interview with Australian radio station KIIS 1065, Perry said she told Swift: “The only way I’m coming to your house is if I can hold your new cat.” On June 11, Perry posted to Instagram a photo of cookies Swift made her for that meeting.

Naomi Campbell shared her very extensive air travel routine in a YouTube video posted last week. In the video, Campbell, 49, wore disposable gloves on the plane to wipe down her seat and tray area.

She then put a cover on the seat and a mask over her mouth. “This is what I do on every plane I get on,” the model said. “I do not care what people think of me. It’s my health, and it makes me feel better.” (EXPRESS)
