‘You make us like ourselves’ An art class in jail gives Fairfax County inmates new perspective on life FRIENDLY COMPETITION

FAIRFAX COUNTY DETENTION CENTER

VIRGINIA After two months in an art class taught by a volunteer artist, Francis Ramirez rediscovered in jail the artistic talents he had as a teenager.

He is one of about 55 Fairfax County inmates in an art class whose work is on display at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria.

The program is run by Reston artist Kelli Schollard-Sincock and is one of more than 100 programs at the county’s jail aimed at helping to rehabilitate inmates and teach life skills.

Schollard-Sincock said that a manager at the Torpedo Factory asked about displaying the inmates’ artwork and that she jumped at the chance. The artwork is on display through Aug. 31.

Since last spring, SchollardSincock said, she has taught more than 200 inmates at the jails in Fairfax County and Alexandria. Inmates can sign up for the class as long as they have good behavior and attendance, and it has become so popular

Artwork made by Fairfax County inmates is on display at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria through Aug. 31.

that two dozen inmates are on a waiting list.

One of the lessons she says she tries to reiterate in her 1½ -hour classes is that art is similar to life in that “we make mistakes in art and we make mistakes in life.”

“You make a mistake and you work through it,” she said.

One of Schollard-Sincock’s students suggested that she become a tattoo artist because they make more money — more than what SchollardSincock is “paid to be here.”

Would you like to lose weight and do you have high cholesterol?

Schollard-Sincock explained that she was a volunteer.

Her students looked at her in shock. One asked, “Not get paid?

Why would you do that?”

Schollard-Sincock responded, “Because I care about you guys and I like you. And, of course, because I love art.”

The students were quiet for a moment. Then, Schollard-Sincock said, one of the students who had been listening said: “You say you come here because you like us . . . . Well, because you do this,

you make us like ourselves.”

For Ramirez, 34, of Reston, the art class has been a chance to reconnect with an activity he enjoyed as a teenager.

He is near the end of a threeyear sentence, and said he hopes to go to college and become an art teacher for disabled veterans. “[Art has] helped me be in the moment,” Ramirez said.

“It takes me away from this place. It’s been a blessing to me.”

ANNAPOLIS

Gazette murder suspect indicted on 23 charges

ENVIRONMENT For more than 100 years, rain has washed the flotsam and jetsam of generations through the District’s sewers and into the Anacostia: tin cups and animal bones, then plastic wrappers and chip bags, swirled together with human waste, making the river one of the country’s dirtiest.

But a decades-long, $2.7 billion D.C. Water project is fixing that.

Instead of muddying the Anacostia, choking out plants and wildlife and breeding bacteria, almost all of that muck will instead be diverted through an 18-mile network of four new tunnels and cleaned at Blue Plains, the utility’s sprawling wastewater treatment plant in Southwest Washington.

The Clean Rivers Project, mandated by a 2005 federal consent decree that required D.C. Water to clean up Rock Creek and the Potomac and Anacostia rivers, is one of the District’s largest infrastructure lifts since Metro.

The Anacostia segment is the effort’s largest and will not be finished until 2023, but one of its tunnels began operating in March and provides a glimpse into what a completed project may mean for D.C.’s troubled waterways.

In just four months, that tunnel, which runs parallel to the Anacostia for nearly 21/2 miles, has diverted more than a billion gallons of sewage and 100 tons of trash that would have otherwise washed into the river.

Standing amid humming machinery on a walkway above a rapid of rushing wastewater after a recent rainstorm, Ryu Suzuki nodded to a shipping container full of plastic bottles, grocery bags, drink lids and cigar wrappers. They came from 85 million gallons of wastewater

captured by the new tunnel.

“All this would’ve gone into the river,” said Suzuki, manager of process engineering at D.C. Water. “It’s scary how much used to go into the river.”

That is because in about a third of the city where the sewer system is outmoded, storm water and sewage runs through the same pipes. After heavy rains, that 19th-century system overflows — forcing anything tossed in the street that falls into storm drains and everything flushed down toilets to converge and flow into the creek and rivers.

Annually, it amounts to sewage by the billions of gallons, trash by the hundreds of tons.

In the 1990s, the organization American Rivers dubbed the Anacostia one of the “most endangered rivers” in the country. Six years ago, the Potomac received the same dubious distinction.

This month, a crane lowered a hulking, drill-like machine 120 feet into the ground to begin a five-year journey to complete the Anacostia portion of the Clean Rivers Project.

A $230,000 water bill There are concerns over user fees charged since 2009 by D.C. Water to help fund the cleanup project, particularly from those at churches and cemeteries who believe they are treated unfairly. The utility charges all its ratepayers based on a property’s hard surfaces, such as roofs or parking lots that cause storm-water runoff. Rock Creek Cemetery, which is run by St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, has seen its water bills skyrocket from $3,500 in 2008 to a projected $230,000 this year, the most expensive they’ve ever been.

When Chris finishes the job, it will have left behind 27,000 feet of concrete tunnel tall enough that a full-grown giraffe could walk through without bumping its head. When the Anacostia segment is completed, it will reduce

sewer overflows into that river by 98 percent.

And as the Anacostia comes back to life, life is coming back to the Anacostia. A pair of bald eagles is nesting there. Osprey and beaver are returning. Humans, too.

“We have told people for years, ‘Don’t go there, it’s the forgotten river,’ ” said Jim Foster, president of the Anacostia Watershed Society. “Now, we’re trying to bring them back.”

The District is betting that cleaner rivers will be good for business, too. Healthy waterways are essential to new riverside developments, such as the Wharf along the Washington Channel and Yards Park on the Anacostia.

Foster said the water will continue to get incrementally better, but he already notices the difference on his way to work. Thirty years ago, his predecessor was pulling tires and other car parts from the river, he said. Today, there’s much less trash.

“We’re on a great trajectory to a much cleaner river,” Foster said.

New sex abuse claims made against prominent cardinal

Hiring of ex-Trump official criticized by some at U-Va.

White nationalist Christopher Cantwell pleaded guilty Friday to two charges stemming from a torch-lit rally at the University of Virginia last summer. Cantwell entered the plea to two counts of assault and battery after being accused of using pepper spray against two counterprotesters. Under the details of the plea agreement, he won’t serve additional jail time but will be barred from Virginia for five years. Cantwell said he used pepper spray in selfdefense during the rally, which came a day ahead of a larger gathering of white nationalists in Charlottesville.

He was also fined $250 for violating the terms of his bond. (AP)

A Virginia man said Friday he was sexually abused for about two decades by Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, a former archbishop of D.C. who was removed from public ministry last month over separate child abuse allegations. The man, identified only by his first name, James, said he filed a police report detailing the abuse with the Loudoun County police. James said the abuse began when he was a child. McCarrick was a family friend, James said. The 88-year-old retired archbishop of D.C. is one of the highest-ranking U.S. church officials accused in a sexual abuse scandal that has seen thousands of priests implicated. (AP)

A petition is calling on the University of Virginia to revoke the teaching appointment of a departing member of President Trump’s administration.

Short was hired to serve as a senior fellow at the Miller Center, a nonpartisan affiliate of the university that focuses on public policy. (AP)

More than minding the gap

Claire Stanley, a disability advocate with the American Council of the Blind, waits to catch her train earlier this month with her service dog, Kodiak.

Metro trains keeps people from accidentally falling between the cars. But the newer, 7000-series railcars are connected by a rubber barrier that’s 9-inches away from the edge of the platform, leaving a gap where two people say they’ve fallen in the past two years.

Stanley’s organization is pushing Metro to get the trains retrofitted as quickly as possible. The Federal Transit Administration threatened in June to withhold a quarter of Metro’s federal funds if it doesn’t finish the work by Dec. 31, but Metro is asking for more time.

For all the attention the May incident has garnered, though, there are other, less obvious, obstacles as well, Stanley says.

BONNIE JO MOUNT (THE WASHINGTON POST)

METRORAIL At 5 p.m. on a recent Monday, Claire Stanley stands on the platform at Pentagon City waiting for a Yellow Line train.

Like the thousands of others riding Metro during a typical afternoon rush hour, she will contend with crowds of people swirling around like bumper cars and try to squeeze her way into a packed train.

Unlike most of her fellow commuters, though, Stanley navigates the chaos without being able to see. A brain tumor took away nearly all of her vision when she was 9, leaving her legally blind.

At 30, Stanley, a disability advocate at the American Council of the Blind, has only vague memories of what things look like. And there are some things she can’t picture at all.

“I don’t know what people look like when they’re angry,” she says, and so she can’t imagine the faces of fellow riders when a car is hot, the trains are single-tracking or the escalators aren’t moving.

The challenges facing visually impaired riders have drawn increased attention since May, when a blind woman using a cane stepped off the platform at Metro’s Van Ness-UDC station thinking she was getting onto a train.

She instead fell between two of the cars and onto the tracks, sustaining minor injuries.

A chain barrier on older-model

JASON HORNICK (FOR EXPRESS)

For blind Metro riders, boarding trains isn’t their only challenge

Chain barriers block off the gap between older-series Metro cars.

While Stanley appreciates the bumpy strips that mark the edge of Metro’s platforms for those who can’t see, for example, she says they’d be much more helpful if the bumps were arranged in a different pattern in spots where

the train’s doors open, the way they are on San Francisco’s Bay Area Rapid Transit system.

Metro says that’s not possible here because doors on older and newer trains open in different places, and Metro’s trains are operated manually, not automatically, like BART’s.

Stanley does credit Metro for some things, though. The automated announcements on newer trains make it easier to hear which stop is next. And Metro says it’s now working to update the announcements to include which side the doors will open on.

As she waits for her train, Stanley grips the “Guide Dog for the Blind” harness worn by her black Labrador, Kodiak.

Kodiak can do many things for Stanley, but he can’t tell her if the train she hears coming is the Yellow Line one she wants.

The indecipherable announcement that comes over the public address system is no help either.

So Stanley calls out to no one in particular, “Is this the Yellow Line?” And luckily a man standing nearby tells her it is.

But how will she find the door?

“I try to listen,” she explains, following the sounds of people ahead of her hurrying to get in before the doors close. But missing the train isn’t what she worries about the most. She’s afraid the doors will close on Kodiak.

With two hands, she pushes the dog’s rump to get him in.

“It’s nerve-racking,” she says once inside. A transfer to the Red Line at Gallery Place still awaits.

ANSWER LINE

Why operators can’t cool down your ‘hot car’ Q. It’s not really a question, but a Metro train operator emailed us because he wants riders to know he has no control over the air conditioning in the cars. “We cannot turn it off, on, low or high,” he wrote.

A. That’s true. Each car in the train has its own HVAC system that, in the newest trains, goes on when it’s over 75 degrees inside and turns off when it cools down to about 71 or 72 degrees.

But the system can only cool the cars by 20 degrees, so if it’s a 100-degree day, the cars will only get down to about 80.

Metro says it’s made progress in preventing “hot cars.” In fact, according to Metro’s figures, hot car incidents dropped from 243 in June of 2016 to 97 this June. While Metro has reduced hot cars, the numbers likely overstate the progress because they don’t account for the fact that Metro is running fewer trains overall because of its 2017 service reductions, said James Pizzuro of Rail Transit OPS, which monitors Metro service and partners with @ DCMetroHero to tweet updates.

If your car is hot, Metro says you should contact the train operator using the intercom.

The operator will notify Metro’s control center, and someone will meet the train on its route to try to fix it. Then, do what most people do: Try another car at the next stop, because, yes, each one operates on its own HVAC system. KERY MURAKAMI (EXPRESS)

14 die in suicide attack after arrival of Dostum, a divisive ex-warlord

Sarcophagus holds stench but no curse

RAHMAT GUL (AP)

KABUL Afghan Vice President Abdurrashid Dostum — a former warlord who lived in exile for more than a year following sexual assault charges — returned Sunday to a warm government welcome, but his legal problems still loom and a bomb attack that killed 14 people as he arrived reflects continuing challenges ahead.

After his plane from Turkey landed, top officials with President Ashraf Ghani’s administration — along with a crowd of supporters — greeted Dostum on the tarmac at the Kabul International Airport, applauding as he disembarked and headed toward an awaiting car.

Moments after he left the airport, a suicide bomb exploded, killing 14 people and injuring 60 near the entrance — an incident that, while not harming Dostum, showed the intense feelings his return brings.

“I pay greetings to all Afghans,” Dostum later said in a ceremony at his office in Kabul, where he vowed to help Afghanistan end its 17-year war.

Dostum — an Afghan civil war general known for vicious, mercurial behavior while ruling over the northern border region for 30 years — flew to Turkey after a political rival accused the

vice president in 2016 of beating him, imprisoning him for days and ordering his rape.

The case has been a headache for Ghani, who, despite calling Dostum “a known killer” in the past, picked him as his running mate in 2014 in a move to secure support along the country’s northern provinces near the Uzbekistan border. Dostum, 63, is an ethnic Uzbek.

A stubborn wave of demonstrations calling for Dostum’s return rolled through northern Afghanistan in recent weeks, shutting down local government offices in what appeared to be a mounting threat to stability in that part of the country while Afghan forces struggle to fend

off Taliban and Islamic State fighters advancing in the area.

Ghani, under pressure from international donors to both restore stability and enforce his wobbly government’s rule of law, arranged for Dostum to resume his role as first vice president while still facing the charges levied against him.

Repeating Dostum’s excuse last year that he flew to Turkey for unspecified “medical treatment,” Ghani’s office said in a statement that “the treatment is completed now” and that the hard-charging warrior-turned-politician who is a heartbeat away from the presidency is ready to resume office.

When archaeologists discovered a large black granite sarcophagus in Egypt’s coastal city of Alexandria this month, speculation ran wild.

Some suggested it belonged to the ancient Greek ruler Alexander the Great. Others warned of “the curse” opening it would unleash. It’s now been opened, and the only curse was an awful stench from liquid covering the remains of three people. Egypt’s Antiquities Ministry said in a statement Saturday that the liquid is neither “juice for mummies that contains an elixir of life” nor is it red mercury. It’s just sewage water. It also said the 2,000-year-old coffin doesn’t belong to any ancient rulers and the remains are undergoing restorations to reveal more. (AP)

election, said Allie Cohn, a member of the group’s national political team. Last week, its paid membership hit 45,000 nationwide.

Other DSA-endorsed candidates include Kansas’ James Thompson, an Army veteran turned civil rights attorney. He is running again after narrowly losing a special election last year to fill the House seat vacated by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Even in deep-red Kansas, Thompson embraces “Medicare for all” and is critical of capitalism.

In Hawaii, 29-year-old state Rep. Kaniela Ing isn’t shy about promoting his status as a democratic socialist in his bid for Congress. He said he was encouraged to run by the same activist who recruited Ocasio-Cortez.

Republicans, meanwhile, are encouraged by the rise of democratic socialism — for a far different reason. They have seized on what they view as a leftward lurch by Democrats they predict will alienate voters this fall and in the 2020 presidential race.

WASHINGTON Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page on Sunday denied he was an intelligence agent for Russia, after the release of usually secret documents showed federal investigators believed he was engaged in “clandestine intelligence activities” on behalf of Russia.

Page’s denial, on CNN’s “State of the Nation,” was his first public response to the release on Saturday of secret applications for federal wiretaps on him.

The documents — still heavily redacted — showed that federal investigators were looking into Page’s possible connections with Russia as early as 2013, long before Donald Trump named him as an adviser to his presidential campaign in March 2016.

On Sunday, Page said it was “ridiculous” to believe he had been an agent of the Russian government, and ducked questions about what, exactly, his connections to Russia had been.

Also Sunday, Republican senators Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham urged Trump to take a harder line against Russian President Vladimir Putin, a few days after Trump seemed deferential to Putin after a summit meeting in Helsinki.

“Come up with a set of sanctions that would be a hammer over Russia’s head if they continue to interfere in the 2018 election,” Graham, a sometime Trump ally, urged Trump on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” ELISE VIEBECK

Bernie Sanders, Congress’ only self-identified democratic socialist, campaigned Friday with the movement’s newest star, New York City congressional candidate Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old former bartender who defeated one of the most powerful House Democrats in a primary last month.

Her victory fed a flame that was already beginning to burn brighter. The DSA’s paid membership hovered around 6,000 in the years before Trump’s

Growth in health care Sen. Bernie Sanders’ plan to provide free health care for all Americans had no co-sponsors in 2013. Today, more than one-third of Senate Democrats and two-thirds of House Democrats have signed on. Co-sponsors include some 2020 presidential prospects, such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Mass.; Sen. Cory Booker, N.J.; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, N.Y.; and Sen. Kamala Harris, Calif. Those senators aren’t calling themselves democratic socialists but aren’t disassociating themselves from DSA priorities. (AP)

POLITICS A week ago, Maine Democrat Zak Ringelstein wasn’t quite ready to consider himself a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, even if he appreciated the organization’s values and endorsement in his bid to become a U.S. senator.

Three days later, it was time to join up. He’s now the only major-party Senate candidate in the nation to be a dues-paying democratic socialist.

Ringelstein’s leap is the latest evidence of a nationwide surge in the strength and popularity of an organization that, until recently, operated on the fringes of the liberal movement’s farthest left flank. As Donald Trump’s presidency stretches into its second year, democratic socialism has become a significant force in Democratic politics. Its rise comes as Democrats debate whether moving too far left will turn off voters.

“It’s time to do what’s right, even if it’s not easy,” Ringelstein said.

There are 42 people running for offices at the federal, state and local levels this year with the formal endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America, the organization says. They span 20 states, including Florida, Hawaii, Kansas and Michigan.

The most ambitious Democrats in Washington have been reluctant to embrace the label, even as they embrace the policies defining modern-day democratic socialism: Medicare for all, a $15 minimum wage, free college tuition and the abolition of the federal department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement,

‘Let me get to my babies’ Woman recalls sinking of duck boat that killed nine of her relatives

Tia Coleman cries Saturday after speaking to the media. She lost nine family members, including her husband and three kids, when a duck boat sank.

CHARLIE RIEDEL PHOTOS (AP)

BRANSON, MO. “Grab the baby!”

Those were the last words Tia Coleman recalls her sisterin-law yelling before the tourist boat they were on sank into a Missouri lake, killing 17 people, including nine of Coleman’s family members.

A huge wave hit, scattering passengers on the vessel known as a duck boat into Table Rock Lake, Coleman said. When the Indianapolis woman came up for air, she was alone. She prayed.

“I said, ‘Lord, please, let me get to my babies,” she told reporters from her wheelchair Saturday in the lobby of a hospital where she’s recovering after swallowing lake water. “‘If they don’t make it, Lord, take me too.’ ” Coleman’s husband and three children, ages 9, 7 and 1; her 45-year-old sister-in-law and 2-year-old nephew; her motherin-law and father-in-law and her husband’s uncle all died Thursday night in the deadliest accident of its kind in two decades.

Others killed included a Missouri couple who had just celebrated a birthday; another Missouri couple on what was planned as their last extended vacation; an Illinois woman who died while saving her granddaughter’s life; an Arkansas father and son; and the boat’s operator on land.

None of the 31 passengers on board was wearing a life jacket,

Women visit a memorial near Ride the Ducks on Saturday in Branson, Mo. One of the company’s duck boats capsized Thursday, killing 17 people.

according to an incident report released Saturday by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Coleman says the crew told them they wouldn’t need life jackets.

An initial assessment by state and federal investigators blamed thunderstorms and winds that approached hurricane strength.

It’s unclear why the amphibious vehicle ventured into the water.

Coleman said the crew told passengers they were going into the water first, before the landbased part of their tour, because of the incoming storm. The area had been under a severe thunderstorm watch for hours and a severe thunderstorm warning for over 30 minutes before the boat sank.

Ripley Entertainment, which owns Ride the Ducks in Branson, hasn’t commented on Coleman’s account of the tour.

Twenty-nine passengers and two crew members were aboard.

Fourteen people survived, including two adults who remained hospitalized Saturday. Coleman and her 13-year-old nephew were the only ones of the 11 members of her family on the boat to survive.

The company’s website had been taken down by Saturday, save for a statement that its operations would remain shuttered to support the investigation and allow time for families and the community to grieve.

Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board and U.S. Coast Guard were hoping a video recorder recovered from the boat would help explain why it sank. MARGARET STAFFORD (AP)

U.K. needs help counting butterflies

Britain is holding a Big Butterfly Count to help experts assess the wildlife environment. The count depends on people devoting 15 minutes to counting species. Experts say butterflies react very quickly to environmental changes, making them excellent indicators of biodiversity, and that a decline in butterflies is an early warning of wildlife losses.

More than 60,000 volunteers took part in the survey last year. The count goes until Aug. 12. (AP) Jeep exec Mike Manley to be new CEO of Fiat Chrysler, taking over from ill Sergio Marchionne

Jonathan Gold, esteemed food critic, dies at 57 1960-2018 Jonathan Gold, who became the first restaurant critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for criticism, has died. He was 57.

The Los Angeles Times, where Gold most recently worked, said he died Saturday after being diagnosed this month with pancreatic cancer.

“I can’t imagine the city without him. It just feels wrong.

I feel like we won’t have our guide,” said Laura Gabbert, who directed “City of Gold,” a 2015 documentary about the critic.

Gold’s reviews first appeared in L.A. Weekly and later in The Times and Gourmet. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2007 while at L.A. Weekly. He was a finalist again in 2011.

“There will never be another like Jonathan Gold,” Mayor Eric Garcetti said. “Jonathan earned worldwide acclaim as a food critic, but he possessed the soul of a poet whose words helped readers everywhere understand the history and culture of our city.”

The Times noted that Gold’s reviews, appearing in his column called Counter Intelligence, focused on “hole-in-the-wall joints, street food, momand-pop shops and ethnic restaurants,” which he preferred to call traditional restaurants.

“Jonathan understood that food could be a power for bringing a community together, for understanding other people,” said Ruth Reichl, Gold’s former editor.

“He really did change the way that we all write about food.” (AP)

The Israeli military in coordination with its U.S. and European allies on Sunday evacuated hundreds of Syrian rescue workers known as the White Helmets from near its volatile frontier with Syria, in a complex and first-of-a-kind operation. The evacuees, who were hemmed in from one side by advancing Syrian troops and from another by militants affiliated with the Islamic State, were transported to Jordan, from where they are expected to be resettled in Europe and Canada in the coming weeks. Jordanian officials said 422 White Helmets volunteers were evacuated, instead of the initial 800 cleared for the operation. (AP)

South African police said gunmen opened fire on a minibus carrying members of a taxi drivers’ association, killing 11 people and critically wounding four others.

Police said the victims of the Saturday night attack had attended a colleague’s funeral and were returning home when the ambush occurred. The attack happened between the towns of Colenso and Weenen in KwaZulu-Natal province and the victims were from Gauteng province. Police are investigating possible motives.

Gene Evin Atkins, 28, was being held Sunday morning on $2 million bail, according to Officer Drake Madison, a Los Angeles police spokesman.

A woman was shot and killed when Atkins ran into the Trader Joe’s supermarket in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake section Saturday, but no hostages were seriously hurt before the man handcuffed himself and surrendered about three hours later, police said.

Coroner’s officials identified the woman on Sunday as 27-yearold Melyda Corado. Her brother, Albert Corado, said on Twitter that she worked at Trader Joe’s.

VETERAN NFL COACH

Francesco Molinari kisses the claret jug Sunday after playing the last 37 holes without a bogey.

A major win for Italy

BRITISH OPEN Francesco Molinari played a steady hand amid another crazy ending at Carnoustie to win the British Open and become Italy’s first major champion.

Tiger Woods brought pandemonium by charging into the lead on Sunday at a major for the first time in nine years, only to lose it with one bad hole.

Seven players had a share of the lead at some point. Six were still tied on the back nine.

Through all that, Molinari, 35, never flinched. He closed with a 2-under 69, playing the final 37 holes on the toughest links in golf without a bogey. Four players, including Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose, tied for second, two strokes back.

The clincher was a bold drive on the 18th hole that flirted with the edge of a pot bunker, a wedge to 5 feet and a birdie putt that gave Molinari a lead no one in the last two groups was able to erase.

He raised his fist and shook it before slamming it for emphasis.

“To go the weekend bogey-free,

it’s unthinkable,” he said. “Playing with Tiger was another challenge. But I felt really good this morning. I felt I was ready for the challenge.”

He finished at 8-under 276, the lowest score in eight Opens at Carnoustie, the course in Scotland where Jean Van de Velde threw away the British Open with a triple bogey on the last hole in 1999, and where Padraig Harrington twice hit into Barry Burn on the last hole to make double bogey and still won in 2007.

With the wind gusting to 20 mph, Molinari was the only player from the last four groups to break par. Now at a career-best No. 6 in the world, he has won three times and been runner-up twice in the past two months.

No one in the final two groups was able to threaten him Sunday.

Kevin Chappell (73 — 279) missed a 10-foot birdie putt on the 16th that would have tied him for the lead, and then misfired into a gorse bush on the 17th to take double bogey. Xander Schauffele, who was the last hope

Molinari survives wild Sunday to become nation’s first champ in a Grand Slam event

Shades of vintage Tiger After shooting a 5-under 66 on Saturday, Tiger Woods was in the hunt Sunday with his red shirt blazing against the yellow grass at Carnoustie. It felt like old times when the players he was chasing — at the time Kevin Kisner, Jordan Spieth and Xander Schauffele — collapsed. Woods, 42, held a oneshot lead at 7-under after 10 holes but fell apart with a double bogey on No. 11 and a bogey on No. 12. He shot par-71 for the round and tied for sixth place at 279. (AP)

to extend the American streak of five straight major-winners, was one shot behind until he sent a long iron well to the right of the 17th hole and missed a 15-foot

par putt to fall two shots behind.

Schauffele had to hole out a wedge on the final hole to force a playoff, and the ball checked up well short.

Molinari was on the putting green, not so much to get ready for a playoff, but because he couldn’t bear to watch.

Schauffele had to settle for the four-way tie for second with McIlroy (70), Rose (69) and Kevin Kisner (74).

Jordan Spieth went from a bogey-free round Saturday that gave him a share of the lead to a birdie-free Sunday that led to a 76, his worst Sunday score in a major.

Molinari is the first Italian with his name on the claret jug.

He was 12 when he watched Costantino Rocca lose in a playoff to John Daly at the British Open at St. Andrews.

“Hopefully, there were a lot of young kids watching on TV today, like I was watching Costantino in ’95 coming so close,” Molinari said. “Hopefully, they will get as inspired as I was at the time.”

Minnesota’s Sparano, 56, dies suddenly Tony Sparano once beat Bill Belichick with the single wing, but he wasn’t as old as that made him sound.

Sparano, 56, died Sunday in Minnesota, the Vikings said. He’d been their offensive line coach since 2016.

A cause of death was not provided. ESPN reported that Sparano went to a hospital Thursday with chest pains but was released after tests. He had a 19-year NFL coaching career. As a rookie head coach with Miami in 2008, he surprised Belichick and the Pats with a single wing-style formation called the wildcat. Miami won 11 games and the division title. Sparano was interim Raiders coach in 2014 and was an assistant for the Browns, Redskins, Jags, Cowboys and 49ers. (AP)

Doolittle out for ‘weeks’ with nagging toe injury NATIONALS Sean Doolittle has joked that his ego has been incapable of sustaining the ridicule that accompanies missing time with a toe injury, but the pain was real. He can’t drive off the mound to pitch like the All-Star closer he’s become.

An initial MRI exam revealed nothing more than a pinched nerve. He thought his absence would be short. But he wasn’t recovering as expected, so he underwent a second MRI exam Saturday morning, which revealed the problem all along: a stress reaction.

Doolittle said Sunday his timetable to return will be measured in “weeks,” not “months,” but he figures to miss a chunk of time in addition to the 11 games he’s already missed since his last outing July 6. Doolittle has compiled 1 .45 ERA and 22 saves this season.

“To not be able to help, it’s a really frustrating feeling,” said Doolittle, whose foot was back in a boot Sunday. “I want to be there for my guys.”

Kelvin Herrera, who was acquired last month, will assume the bulk of the save opportunities. Ryan Madson and Brandon Kintzler will fill in on occasion.

“We’ll be fine,” manager Dave

Second MRI for closer reveals stress reaction that calls for more rest

Sean Doolittle has missed 11 games since pain in his left foot forced him to go on the disabled list.

Martinez said. “We’re going to miss him, but we have qualified guys down there that can close.”

Doolittle, 31, explained Sunday that tests don’t show stress reactions immediately. They appear over time, as they worsen. If the discovery hadn’t been made and Doolittle continued to apply pressure to the problem area, a stress fracture would have resulted.

His season could have been over.

“I have a little more peace of mind now because we saw something on the MRI,” Doolittle said.

Dolittle was encouraged with

The Nationals traded outfielder Brian Goodwin to the Royals on Sunday for minor league reliever Jacob Condra-Bogan and recalled left-hander Sammy Solis from Class AAA Syracuse. The moves alleviated a logjam in the outfield to get back to a standard seven-man bullpen. Goodwin, 27, was a first-round pick in 2011 and established himself last season by posting an .811 OPS with 13 home runs in 74 games. He played regularly this year before injuring his wrist in April but lost playing time once rookie Juan Soto emerged. Condra-Bogan, 23, has 40 strikeouts in 27 innings in Class A. (TWP)

his progress for a few days. He threw off flat ground at 90 feet during the All-Star break. He ran on it — first at 50 percent body weight on an antigravity treadmill then at full body weight.

He even got on a mound to throw a bullpen session Friday.

But Doolittle bluntly said the session didn’t go well. He called it “erratic.” He couldn’t drive off his left foot enough to give his fastball the life it usually carries.

The pain wasn’t going away and something needed to change.

MUST-SEE THIS WEEK

1 ‘Orange Is the New Black’ Friday on Netflix

The female prison dramedy’s sixth season shifts the inmates to a maximum security facility following the Season 5 riot that resulted in the death of a corrections officer.

“The West Wing” offered an idealistic depiction of the Oval Office.

Revisiting a bygone era ‘The West Wing’ serves as a salve for viewers disenchanted by modern politics TELEVISION Paul and Shirley Attryde traveled from Durham, N.C., to Washington’s Lincoln Theatre this past spring for a live taping of “The West Wing Weekly,” a podcast about a TV series that ended 12 years ago.

The Attrydes are apolitical, but still — these days, rewatching a show about idealistic wonks working for a Nobel Prize-winning economist president is “a little slice of heaven,” says Paul.

“It’s the president we all want but don’t have.”

Co-hosted by Hrishikesh Hirway and former “West Wing” actor Joshua Malina, the podcast has secured guests including Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill.,

and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Its popularity — an average of 1.3 million downloads a month — indicates just how much the NBC series still resonates, especially for those on the leftward side of the political spectrum.

“People tell us that they turn to ‘The West Wing’ these days as some kind of salve,” Hirway says.

Richard Schiff, who played communications director Toby Ziegler, says that since 2016, he’s seen “a massive spike” in the number of people talking about the show.

“On Twitter every single day there’s a reference to some ‘West Wing’ episode and people lamenting the fact that the Bartlet

administration can’t be in the White House for real,” he says.

“The West Wing” ran from 1999 to 2006, predating TV’s full pivot toward anti-heroes. In one episode, the president appoints two Supreme Court justices, one liberal and one conservative, in the name of spirited debate. A Republican presidential candidate argues for free trade, and the winning Democrat wants to make him secretary of state.

Aaron Sorkin, the show’s creator, is flattered that it’s still a subject of conversation. “It was always aspirational, but not so fantastical that it didn’t feel like it was possible,” he says.

In revisiting each episode, Malina has found that “the show

does not feel like a museum piece, or something that’s been preserved under glass because all the issues are still relevant today — because they haven’t been solved.”

At the podcast taping, audience member Dan Friedman, 32, a government lawyer who lives in Brookland, found that aspect of the show “in some ways depressing, that we’re fighting these same battles.”

But there’s a reason he keeps watching.

“It seems like more of a normal White House,” he says.

“Whereas the current White House seems stranger than fict ion .” Z ACH A RY PIN CU S-ROT H

Small business is NETFLIX

our business.

MARC SILVER | BROADCAST MUSE

Don’t be a ‘Tourist’: Dark travel show isn’t worth the trip The top show on my DO NOT WATCH list this summer is “Dark Tourist,” the Netflix series now streaming that takes us to places where bad things happened.

The eight-part series has impressive credentials. Host David Farrier is a New Zealand journalist who co-directed “Tickled,” a 2016 HBO documentary described by The Washington Post as “a crafty, unsettling bait-and-switch of a movie” about competitive endurance tickling.

Now Farrier is off to investigate “dark tourism — a global phenomenon where people

choose to vacation in places associated with death and destruction.” Maybe, he muses, it’s like taking “a weird holiday before going back to your normal dull existence.”

Farrier kicks off the series in Fukushima, the Japanese prefecture that turned radioactive after a 2011 earthquake and tsunami triggered meltdowns at a nuclear plant. Because, as the saying goes, there’s a sucker born every minute, a company offers bus tours to the town of Tomioka, a formerly restricted zone now said to be safe. The guide is a jovial fellow who says that if his Geiger counter reads 0.20 that “worries me.” But he really isn’t worried because he’s led tours

$35.8M

before, and it’s not like he’s grown “extra horns or fingers.”

Then, a few minutes into the trip, one tourist’s Geiger counter hits 0.72! With stunning understatement, Farrier says, “Immediately, the nuclear tourists are concerned.”

As a huge fan of normalcy and dullness, I did not want to watch any more of these foolhardy people on a nuclear tour.

So I skipped to Episode 2.

Farrier heads to the U.S. for vampire tourism in New Orleans and JFK assassination tourism in Dallas, and a trip to Milwaukee to review the life of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

Farrier travels with a woman who is obsessed with Dahmer and discusses his murders as if they were works of art instead of horrific acts of inhumanity.

Is there not an ethics editor at Netflix who could have suggested, “It’s always going to be too soon for an irreverent look at serial killing?”

“Forgiveness is fine but a standing ovation is wrong.

Players are booed for kneeling during the anthem, but less than a week after racist tweets surface from this player, he’s applauded?” @FORRESTMOONS, tweeting after

Milwaukee Brewers fans gave pitcher Josh Hader a standing ovation Saturday night. Racist, misogynist and homophobic tweets from Hader’s teenage years were unearthed during the All-Star Game last week. Hader apologized, but the way fans embraced him rubbed many people the wrong way.

“Couple: ‘Thank you for helping deliver our baby!’

Chick-Fil-A employee: ‘My pleasure.’ ” @NATECAB10, joking about the woman who unexpectedly gave birth in a San Antonio Chick-fil-A last week. According to The Associated Press, Falon Griffin, and her husband, Robert, were on the way to the hospital to give birth when Falon needed to use the bathroom. They stopped at a Chickfil-A, which was closed, but an employee let them in. Falon ended up delivering their baby, Gracelyn, in the Chick-fil-A bathroom. Chick-fil-A said that Gracelyn will get free food for life, and a job when she turns 14. “For all the chaos, we all did amazing,” Robert wrote in a Facebook post about the birth.

“Autocorrect doesn’t include any swear words at all unless you personally program them in.” @GOLDMAN2504, tweeting about screenshots posted on social media that show a Georgia Southern University student named Courtney texting her roommate Nwamaka a racial slur about her that was meant to be sent to someone else. In the screenshots, Courtney blamed it on autocorrect and said she was trying to write “triggerish.” The incident has gained a lot of attention on Twitter, and the university issued a statement about it.

“ ‘2 Mamma 2 Mia’ ‘Mamma Mia: Tokyo Drift’ ‘Mamma & Mia’ ‘Mamma Five’ ‘Mamma & Mia 6’ ‘Mia 7’ ‘The Fate of the Mia.’ ” @HEATHERNORMATIV, imagining future “Mama Mia” musical titles in the style of the “Fast and Furious” movies.

Some on social media have noticed some similarities between the two.

“Mamma Mia is the Fast and Furious of musicals. You know exactly what you’re getting and that’s what makes it perfection,” @adohree tweeted.

TODAY: The same general pattern as Sunday is expected, with mostly cloudy skies and scattered showers possible throughout the day. The afternoon brings the best chance of heavier showers and storms as slightly stronger winds continue to pump in the moist and unstable air off the Atlantic. Flash flooding remains a concern.
