COURTESY BOB WADE

FAIRFAX COUNTY

During the summer of 1979, artist Bob Wade, center, built a pair of nearly 40-foot-tall cowboy boots in D.C. at the corner of 12th and G Streets NW.

He put the Wild West in NW Artist recalls building a giant public art piece in Washington in 1979 HISTORY Forty years ago, Texas-based artist Bob “Daddy-O” Wade built a pair of nearly 40-foot-tall cowboy boots at the northwest corner of 12th and G Streets NW. Back then, downtown D.C. was wilder than the Wild West, Wade says. “There were crazy people hanging on the fence, whole busloads of tourists coming by, [then-second lady] Joan Mondale stopped by, we had a guy dressed as Uncle Sam doing crowd control — it was just perfect,” Wade

says, recalling what it was like to build the boots. Wade, now 76, was known for oversized work. In 1976, he created the “Bicentennial Map of the U.S.A.,” which was larger than a football field. According to a 1979 Washington Post article, Wade was chosen by Al Nodal, who at the time was the director of the Washington Project for the Arts, to create a large, temporary sculpture on what was then an empty lot. (The spot, across from a Metro Center entrance, now houses a Macy’s.) “I got to thinking that a pair of cowboy boots would fit that spot perfectly. It was 1979, and Western chic was a huge trend,” Wade says.

Many of the materials for the boots were donated — or scavenged. Wade said he used large pieces of steel found around the city from demolished buildings. Once completed, the sculpture was slated to stand for about five months and then be taken down to make way for new public art. As the deadline for moving the boots loomed, Wade grew anxious — he had no idea what to do with the huge sculpture. So he was thrilled when he got an eleventh-hour call from a property management company that wanted the boots for a shopping mall in Texas. In January 1980, Wade returned to D.C. and watched as

workers disassembled the boots and loaded the pieces onto three flatbed trucks — one of which got stuck underneath a low overpass. The rest of the journey went smoothly, and the boots were installed by San Antonio’s North Star Mall, where they still stand today. The boots even hold the Guinness World Record for the largest cowboy boot structure. The boots are a beloved San Antonio landmark, so they will probably never return to their birthplace, Wade says. “The fact that they ended up in Texas is quite something,” he says. “I never would have expected that.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

Debate over dog park etiquette has caused a rift in well-heeled Chevy Chase Village

expressline

A tony Maryland neighborhood is in an uproar over loud barking at a recently opened dog park.

FAIRFAX COUNTY

Police open investigation into Democrat legislator

BILL O’LEARY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

CHEVY CHASE, MD. Everyone knows there’s a problem with Chubbs. Dirt is smeared across his face. His tongue is rolling out of his mouth. He’s surrounded by signs that say “NO EXCESSIVE BARKING.” But the 5-month-old golden retriever does not know how to read. At a dog park in one of Maryland’s wealthiest suburbs, he spends this sunny August morning rolling on his back. He opens his mouth, and then, he does it: He woofs. Twice. “CHUBBS!” four humans around him yell, trying to stop him from doing what dogs do — just not in Chevy Chase Village this summer. Here, where the average household income is $460,000, barking is the subject of a ferocious (fur-ocious?) debate — one that has divided the two-legged one-percenters for nearly a year. The drama began last fall when the village spent $134,000 to turn a muddy triangle of land into a park where pups could run off-leash in a fenced refuge. But after about a month, signs decrying the barking of those dogs began appearing around the park. The village police started receiving almost daily calls about the noise, mostly from one particular neighbor whose house backs up to the park. By spring, the tension had escalated so much that the Chevy Chase Village Board of Managers called a public hearing. Then another in June. And another in July. At the center is Elissa Leonard, chair of the village board and wife to Jerome Powell, who is also a chair — of the Federal Reserve, where he’s been criticized recently by President Trump. Leonard, meanwhile, is on the receiving end of a different siege: from village residents who say

their peace and quiet has been disturbed by barking dogs. “Around dinner time, I’d like to be able to sit on my deck and maybe read a book and chat with a friend or have a glass of wine, and the dogs are barking,” Joanie Edwards, the neighbor who had called police, testified at the meeting in May. The park regulars, neighbor Tom Bourke acknowledged, were trying to hush their hounds. “But there are people,” chimed in Bourke’s wife, Dale, “and I don’t mean to characterize the District, but I just notice that they have District plates on their cars, and they have very little regard for us or our property. . . . There are dogs barking and they’re just not doing anything.” “I hear you,” Leonard said again and again. She explained to the residents that they could not restrict access just to dogs from the immediate neighborhood, where houses for sale range

fighting words “If I had a dog, and he was barking in my backyard, I would bring him in. If my children were in a restaurant crying, I would take them out.” JOANIE EDWARDS, a Chevy Chase

in price from $1.1 million to $22.5 million. The village purchased this 15,000-square-foot parcel of land in the 1980s, in part, using state money, so it had to remain open to the public. Leonard tried to make both sides happy. The board changed the opening time from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. To determine the extent of the barking and the parking, the board paid $1,300 for a woman with a graduate degree in epidemiology to study the behavior of the dogs and their humans. No conclusion was reached. The fence, Edwards says, should come down, so the dog park is just a park. At a public hearing on Sept. 9, Leonard and the board may decide to do just that. The dog lovers plan to crowd the hearing. They have organized a letter-writing campaign and started a Facebook group, “Save the Chevy Chase Dog Park.”JESSICA CONTRERA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Exit with a smile: Station manager lifts riders’ spirits He has a big mouth, he acknowledged, but it was his late mother, Muriel, who was the family’s real talker, he said. At church, Crawford said, people would tell her, “‘We saw your son at the station. Oh my goodness, we thought you talked a lot!’ But I’m like, ‘No, I got it from her.’” He’d tried to keep her spirits up as she was dying a few years ago. “I made sure she had fun, even though she was going through her stuff. She had diabetes. Sometimes the pain was unbearable,” he said. “I’d say, ‘Let’s go hang out. Let’s go to the casino or do something.’ And she was, ‘OK!’ ” Crawford, 52, grew up in Northwest D.C., riding Metrobus. But when trains started running in 1976, the man who now works underground at first didn’t want to go. “I don’t know why. I don’t think I was scared of tunnels or anything like that,” he said. “I saw so many people getting on the train. I don’t think I’m claustrophobic. But I didn’t like the atmosphere.” On Tuesday, the “good mornings” followed the rhythm of trains pulling in and out of the station. Crawford stood looking glum during a lull between crowds. But when a new group came up from the platform, he launched into his greetings: “Good morning, good morning, good morning.” “Good morning, how you doing?” “Good morning. You have a good day. Good morning!” “All right, all right, happy

Tuesday morning at the Virginia Square stop, there was a sighting of something rare for a Metro station: smiles. One was on Yashera TorresOrtiz’s face as she passed through the fare gate. Then came a beaming Matt Sanders. Then came the crowd headed the other way, having just left a train. Many grinned as they reached the gates. The sight of so many smiles at 8 a.m. in the Virginia Square station, even as those smiling were going to work, would have been unsettling if their cause were not obviously the tall man nearby with the booming voice. “Morning, everybody. Made it to Tuesday. All right, all right,” said Darryl Crawford. He was wearing a navy blue suit and cap, his uniform for the past year as the station’s manager. The station’s regular commuters say they rarely see him inside the manager booth. He was instead at his usual place, by the fare gates. “There he is. All right,” he said to Sanders, who usually wears a Panama hat but had left it at home that day. Crawford usually mentions the hat, Sanders said. He seemed touched that Crawford had greeted him even without it. During a summer when the only people less excited to be in sweltering stations than commuters might be the station managers holed up in their tight booths, Crawford is a welcome breath of fresh air.

Darryl Crawford, station manager at the Virginia Square Metro stop, enthusiastically greets passengers and wishes them a good day at work.

Tuesday, everybody. You have a good day. Good morning! Good morning to you.” “Happy Tuesday. We got past Monday!” Crawford said. The spiel is usually the same — though on Thursdays Crawford tells passersby: “It’s almost Friday Eve,” Sanders said. “He brightens up the morning, and puts you in the right mindset,” said Torres-Ortiz. Andrew Kierig, a regular commuter, has seen Crawford crouching behind gates playing hide-and-seek with children. “It just makes me happy,” Kierig said. Growing up, Crawford never wanted to be a performer, he said: “I just wanted to get out here and work and have some

fun doing it.” So he gabbed and joked as he drove a Montgomery County shuttle, a Metrobus and a train. Since 2004, he has greeted commuters at several stations before coming to Virginia Square last year. People just have different personalities, he said of the station managers who stay in their booths. But when he himself started, “I thought, I can’t just sit in the booth with people walking by looking in like, ‘What are you doing in there?’” he said. “So I came out and started meeting and greeting.” Reach Kery Murakami at kery.murakami@washpost.com.

ALEXANDRIA Democratic candidates for chief prosecutor in Arlington and Fairfax upset incumbents in June primaries with promises to stop charging marijuana possession cases. Now Alexandria Commonwealth’s Attorney Bryan Porter is taking a step in that direction with a diversion program for misdemeanor cases. Alexandria’s program will go beyond existing provisions for first-time offenders in state law. Participants do not have to plead guilty or stipulate that the facts support guilt, and no fines or court costs will be imposed. While the initial charge would not disappear, Porter said his office “will liberally agree” to have such records expunged. The program requires a drug screening, 15 hours of community service and compliance with probation. After six to nine months, if a person complies, the case will be dismissed. Porter said he was looking for a way to minimize punishment for marijuana possession in light of a Virginia Supreme Court ruling that judges can block the dismissal of such cases. “In my opinion, we do have the discretion to say, we’re not prosecuting it any more and leave it between the police department and the defendant, like a traffic ticket,” he said. But he argued that could lead to worse outcomes for defendants, who will have less ability to negotiate. RACHEL WEINER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Pro-business voices rip encampments; others urge understanding THE DISTRICT An organization that promotes development in a fast-gentrifying District neighborhood is defending a letter critical of homeless encampments that some advocates called insensitive. NoMa Business Improvement District President Robin-Eve Jasper wrote in the public letter that â&#x20AC;&#x153;conditions are worseningâ&#x20AC;? for pedestrians who use underpasses beneath railroad tracks that bisect the neighborhood. The letter notes increasing reports of harassment and aggressive panhandling by those living in the encampments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Used and bloody hypodermic needles and other drug paraphernalia, rotting food, trash, broken glass, public nudity, prostitution, sales of illegal drugs, and human urine and feces are encountered by those whose routes take them by the encampments and pervade the space in which encamped individuals are living,â&#x20AC;? Jasper wrote. Advocates for the homeless condemned Jasperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter.

Aaron Howe, a Ph.D. candidate in American Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anthropology program who has interviewed people in the encampments, said that while the letter raised some good points, its tone was â&#x20AC;&#x153;very dehumanizing.â&#x20AC;? Drew Courtney, an Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner for the area, said one of his constituents was spat on in an underpass amid a spike in aggressive panhandling and sexual harassment. He called the situation â&#x20AC;&#x153;unsustainable.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the District needs to make sure that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re providing real support for folks that are dealing with crises of housing and substance abuse and mental health, and â&#x20AC;Ś we need to be able to guarantee safety when folks walk through these spaces,â&#x20AC;? Courtney said. Brian Carome, executive director of Street Sense Media, which publishes a newspaper focused on poverty, said ending homelessness requires a commitment to more affordable housing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The men and women in these encampments are more often victims than victimizers,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a cold, callous letter.â&#x20AC;?

EPA to ease methane limits ENVIRONMENT The Environmental Protection Agency announced Thursday that it plans to loosen federal rules on methane, a powerful greenhouse gas linked to climate change. The proposed rule would reverse standards enacted under President Barack Obama that required oil and gas operators to prevent the release of methane in new drilling wells, pipelines and storage facilities. It also challenges the notion that the federal government has the authority to regulate methane without first making a detailed determination that it qualifies as a pollutant under the Clean Air Act. If successful, that change could hamper the ability of future administrations to enact tougher restrictions on methane. Already, the Trump administration has taken several steps to limit the government’s ability to regulate other greenhouse gases in the future, including in a recently finalized rule curbing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. “EPA’s proposal delivers on President Trump’s executive

Trump: Taliban deal close, U.S. to withdraw 5K troops

Watchdog finds Comey violated FBI policies

President Trump said Thursday the U.S. plans to withdraw more than 5,000 American troops from Afghanistan and then will determine further drawdowns in the longest war in American history. Trump’s comment comes as a U.S. envoy is in a ninth round of talks with the Taliban to find a resolution to the nearly 18-year-old war. Trump said the U.S. was “close” to making a deal, but the outcome is uncertain. (AP)

Former FBI Director James Comey violated FBI policies in his handling of memos documenting private conversations with President Trump, the Justice Department said Thursday. But the report denied Trump total vindication: It found that none of the information shared by Comey or his attorneys with anyone in the media was classified, and the Justice Department declined to prosecute.

and maximize its use.” Methane is a significant contributor to the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, though it is shorter-lived than carbon dioxide and is not emitted in amounts as large. It often is leaked as companies drill for gas and transport it across the

country, and methane emissions are more than 80 times as potent as carbon dioxide emissions over the short term. Scientists have projected that the world needs to cut its overall greenhouse gas emissions nearly in half by mid-century to avert catastrophic effects from global warming. According to the EPA, methane accounted for more than 10% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions from human activities as recently as 2017. Nearly a third of those emissions were generated by the natural gas and petroleum industry. Kassie Siegel, director of the Climate Law Institute at the Center for Biological Diversity, an advocacy group, called the proposal reckless, saying it shows “complete contempt for our climate.” She said that even the Obama administration’s efforts to limit methane emissions were modest, given the significant amount that escapes into the atmosphere each year. “The Obama rule was like a Band-Aid on a gaping wound,” Siegel said. “The Trump administration is so fanatical that they couldn’t even live with the BandAid. They had to rip off the BandAid.” JULIET EILPERIN AND BRADY DENNIS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Citizenship right limited for some born overseas IMMIGRATION Children born overseas to some American parents serving in the military or working for the federal government may no longer automatically claim U.S. citizenship if their parents had lived in the United States for less than five years, according to a new federal policy issued Wednesday. Instead, officials said, those parents must apply for citizenship on behalf of their children before they turn 18. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which processes citizenship applications, said it rescinded a policy that had allowed some members of the military and government employees to easily transmit citizenship to children born overseas, because it conflicted with other policies and federal law. The policy takes effect Oct. 29 and applies only to children born afterward, officials said. Pentagon spokeswoman Lt. Col. Carla Gleason said she “understands the estimated impact of this particular change is small.” Still, changing the rules stirred widespread confusion Wednesday amid concerns about the Trump administration’s emphasis on restricting immigration and amid fears that federal employees and military workers — including those deployed to military bases or dangerous countries — might not have the ability to protect their children.

La. grapefruit breaks two world records

A satellite image taken Thursday at 10:20 a.m. shows Hurricane Dorian moving across the Atlantic Ocean.

Florida readies itself for Hurricane Dorian Approaching storm could reach Category 4 before it hits the South WEATHER Florida residents picked the shelves clean of bottled water and lined up at gas stations Thursday as an increasingly menacing-looking Hurricane Dorian threatened to broadside the state over Labor Day weekend. Leaving mercifully little damage in its wake in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, the second hurricane of the 2019 season swirled toward the U.S., with forecasters warning it will draw energy from the warm, open

waters as it closes in. The National Hurricane Center said the Category 1 storm is expected to strengthen into a potentially catastrophic Cat 4 with winds of 130 mph and slam into the U.S. on Monday somewhere between the Florida Keys and southern Georgia — a 500-mile stretch that reflected the high degree of uncertainty this far out. “If it makes landfall as a Category 3 or 4 hurricane, that’s a big deal,” said University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy. “A lot of people are going to be affected. A lot of insurance claims.” Forecasters said Dorian could bring 4 to 8 inches of rain to the Southeastern coast, with a foot

But with the storm’s track still unclear, no immediate mass evacuations were ordered.

It’s the highest death toll since 2008 and 28% higher than in 2012. (Highway fatalities overall are up 10% since 2012.) AAA isn’t sure why red-light deaths are on the rise, but it is urging drivers and pedestrians to use caution at traffic signals.

‘A smash-and-grab raid’ Fierce criticism follows British PM’s move to suspend Parliament with Brexit up in air Study: Genes play a role, but no ‘gay genes’

TOBIAS SCHWARZ (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

LONDON British Prime Minister Boris Johnson faced defections from senior allies Thursday as a backlash built and opponents planned legal challenges to his decision to suspend Parliament to push his Brexit plans. The resignation of Ruth Davidson, who had been touted as a future prime minister, along with another senior Conservative in the House of Lords was a sign of rising worry within Johnson’s ranks that the move to suspend Parliament was sidelining Britain’s elected representatives during one of the biggest political crises in generations. Elsewhere in Europe, policymakers were jolted by the move to suspend Parliament for five weeks, which some of them said brought Britain closer to a sudden, cliff-edge Brexit that analysts say could spark food and medicine shortages. The resignations came after protesters jammed streets in cities around the country. Outside of Parliament, demonstrators chanted: “Stop the coup!” A petition calling for the government to stop the suspension quickly surged past 1 million signatures. Johnson’s adversaries promised to appeal his move in the courts. Johnson sparked a torrent of criticism with his decision to ask Queen Elizabeth II to suspend Parliament for five weeks, dramatically shortening the time lawmakers have to try to block a no-deal Brexit. Johnson has said Britain will leave the European Union by Oct. 31 with or without a deal. The majority of lawmakers in the House of Commons are opposed to leaving the bloc without a transition deal to smooth the way. Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said that when Parliament

Prime Minister Boris Johnson faces an uproar for deciding to suspend Parliament for five weeks with a crisis afoot.

reconvenes after summer break Tuesday, he will move immediately to pass legislation to keep the chamDavidson ber open and to prevent a no-deal Brexit. “We will be back in Parliament on Tuesday to challenge Boris Johnson on what I think is a smash-and-grab raid against our democracy,” he told Sky News. Opposition lawmakers will have to move fast if they are to have a chance at success. Once Parliament is suspended, no later than Sept. 12, any legislation in the pipeline is typically killed off, and lawmakers would have to start again from scratch when Parliament resumes Oct. 14. In Davidson’s resignation letter, the charismatic leader avoided linking her move directly to Johnson’s decision to suspend Parliament, instead focusing on family issues. But she also mentioned the “conflict

Caught in gridlock Parliament has voted down the Brexit deal three times, mostly because of the “backstop,” an insurance plan that would guarantee an open border between Ireland and Northern Ireland to prevent a return to violence there. Under the plan, the U.K. risks getting stuck inside the European Customs Union, limiting its ability to conduct independent trade deals. David Frost, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s new Brexit negotiator, met with senior EU officials Wednesday, but EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier indicated Thursday that nothing had changed in EU calculations. (TWP)

I have felt over Brexit,” and the British media quickly linked the departure to Johnson’s strategy. Davidson’s departure after eight years leading the Scottish wing of the party is a major blow for the Conservatives. Davidson’s resignation came shortly after

that of George Young, who left his post as a government whip in the House of Lords. Johnson’s government insists that it is normal for a new prime minister to suspend Parliament ahead of the queen’s speech presenting the country’s legislative agenda. It generally does happen every year, but the length of the suspension — the longest since 1945 — and the timing have drawn widespread criticism. Johnson’s allies — the ones who were not quitting — were quick to dismiss the concerns Thursday. Jacob Rees-Mogg, leader of the House of Commons, dismissed what he called the “candyfloss of outrage” over the temporary shuttering of the legislature, using the British term for cotton candy. “I don’t think there is any attempt to railroad,” he told the BBC on Thursday, insisting Johnson wanted to get on with his domestic agenda.

HEALTH The largest study of its kind found new evidence that genes contribute to same-sex sexual behavior, but it echoes research that says there are no specific “gay genes” that make people gay. The genome-wide research on DNA from nearly half a million U.S. and U.K. adults identified five genetic variants not previously linked with gay or lesbian sexuality. The variants were more common in people who reported ever having had a same-sex sexual partner. The researchers said thousands more genetic variants likely are involved and interact with factors that aren’t inherited, but that none of them cause the behavior nor can predict whether someone will be gay. The research “provides the clearest glimpse yet into the genetic underpinnings of same-sex sexual behavior,” said co-author Benjamin Neale, a psychiatric geneticist at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Mass. “We also found that it’s effectively impossible to predict an individual’s sexual behavior from their genome. Genetics is less than half of this story for sexual behavior but it’s still a very important contributing factor,” Neale said. The study was released Thursday by the journal Science. Results are based on genetic testing and survey responses from more than 470,000 people in the U.S. and the United Kingdom. LINDSEY TANNER (AP)

BY THE NUMBERS

Mystics keep dominating The Mystics’ 95-66 rout Tuesday of a solid Sparks team seems to indicate Washington is playoff ready. These numbers quantify their dominance. (EXPRESS/TWP)

NICK WASS (AP)

Ali Modami (No. 86) helps Brian Dozier celebrate a homer; his crucial pre-game ritual is taking out the lineup card.

Meet the Nationals’ good luck charm Batting practice pitcher’s ritual has coincided with Washington’s turnaround NATIONALS Something changed for the Nationals on May 24, something that only matters in a world where superstitions are treated like currency: Ali Modami, one of the team’s batting practice pitchers, began taking out the lineup card before each game. You may have heard that date, May 24, thrown around a lot in the past couple of months. It’s the day the Nationals’ season began to turn around. It’s the day that started a 55-27 stretch that put the Nationals atop the wild-card standings. And it’s the day Modami became a key part of manager Dave

Martinez’s master plan. “Shhh,” Martinez said when asked about Modami in late May. “Ali’s my good luck charm.” The Nationals typically rotate who takes the card to home plate before each game for a meeting with the umpiring crew and a representative from the other team. Bench coach Chip Hale was a regular in the role. Modami was part of the mix, getting a chance now and then. Then the Nationals lost, and lost some more, and limped home after being swept in a four-game series by the Mets. They were playing the Marlins and scraping the bottom of the barrel for answers. It was — you

guessed it — May 24, and Martinez told Modami he was in charge of the lineup card that night. The Nationals won and took three of four from Miami. They won back-to-back games in Atlanta the next week. They were on a roll, and Modami has brought out the lineup card for all but one of the 82 games since that sweep in New York. Not changing something that’s working is an unwritten rule in baseball, whether it’s using the same equipment, wearing the same shirt, or having the same batting practice pitcher walk 50 feet with a piece of paper in hand. Washington’s record is 54-27

when Modami does. So who is Ali Modami? He played first base at Oklahoma State in the early 2000s. His manager with the Cowboys, Tom Holliday, once told the Tulsa World: “He’s a character I haven’t had before.” Modami joined the Phillies in 2008, the year they won the World Series, and became a clubhouse favorite. He was the guy who threw great batting practice. It helped that he’s a lefty. It helped even more that he’s always good for a laugh. Modami was with Philadelphia for four seasons, left when the front office shook up the staff in 2011, then landed with the Nationals with the recommendation of good friend Jayson Werth. “Ali is indispensable, and I really mean that,” said second baseman Brian Dozier, who estimated that Modami throws around 1,000 pitches of batting practice a day. “You see him icing his arm after every game; he’s tired. That’s because the man puts in an honest day’s work. He’s one of us.”

MARYLAND VS. HOWARD | NOON SATURDAY AT COLLEGE PARK, BTN

Jackson starting a new era Terps are known more for unlucky QB injuries than any recent success

Cavs set sights on winning first division crown

Josh Jackson’s 2017 passing yardage at Virginia Tech would rank third all-time at Maryland.

from his first season at Virginia Tech would rank third on Maryland’s all-time list, behind Scott Milanovich (3,499 yards) in 1993 and John Kaleo (3,392) in 1992. “The quarterback position is a natural leadership position,” Locksley said. “He’s come in and he’s done things the right way with how he works, how he communicates. You see the maturity that he has, having led an offense before.” Jackson has stepped into a program more known for its laundry list of injuries at quarterback than any recent success. After four season-ending injuries to quarterbacks in 2012, a linebacker started at the position. Since then, the position has been a revolving door, with many players losing

the top spot because of injuries. Pigrome and Kasim Hill tore ACLs in 2017, and Hill tore his other ACL the following year. (Hill, who started 10 games in 2018, is now at Tennessee.) Jackson can joke now that the Terrapins’ quarterback injury

history wasn’t in their recruiting materials. He didn’t know about it until he arrived and a trainer told him. “So that’s a little disheartening, I guess you could say,” Jackson said, laughing. He added that he is not superstitious and he is “not trying to focus on the past or anything.” For a program hoping to launch itself into a new and better era, that’s not a bad strategy. Even though Locksley expressed confidence that Jackson is the right choice for the role, Jackson doesn’t lean on that. “That still doesn’t mean I can’t go out there and get pulled,” he said. “You’ve got to play well.” EMILY GIAMBALVO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

JONATHAN NEWTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

MARYLAND Six days before Maryland began its season — its first game in this new era, featuring different schemes and an infusion of talent by way of transfers — coach Michael Locksley sat down with quarterbacks Josh Jackson and Tyrrell Pigrome to inform them that Jackson had won the starting job. The graduate transfer from Virginia Tech will lead this offense in Saturday’s opener against Howard. “And it’s not a deal where he has to look over his shoulder,” Locksley said of Jackson. Jackson missed spring practice as he finished his undergraduate degree in Blacksburg. He didn’t arrive in College Park until the summer, participating in his first official practices at the start of August. But by the time the staff had seen enough to make a decision, Jackson had surfaced as the better player to help the offense extend drives and score. Jackson proved himself as a starter at Virginia Tech. He started for the Hokies as a redshirt freshman in 2017, throwing for 2,991 yards and 20 touchdowns while completing nearly 60% of his passes. Jackson added 324 yards and six touchdowns rushing, but Maryland’s offense requires him to run less often. Jackson’s passing yardage

VIRGINIA Freshly minted banners emblazoned with “The Standard” dangle outside of Scott Stadium, displaying an updated version of the motto Virginia football adopted when coach Bronco Mendenhall, above, took over three seasons ago. At that time, players spoke about “The New Standard” during the nascent stages of a rebuild. This summer, following the program’s first bowl triumph since 2005, captains Joe Reed and Bryce Hall suggested a tweak. With Mendenhall’s blessing, the Cavaliers dropped “New” from the team credo. After 14 victories over two years — one more than in the previous four seasons combined — and entering the 2019 season as the favorite to win the ACC Coastal Division, there’s nothing unfamiliar about winning. “Last year we were on the outside looking in,” Cavaliers quarterback Bryce Perkins said. “Now teams are looking at Virginia, but we’re not focusing on that just because we know what we [expect] for ourselves. We’re not satisfied even though we may be picked” to win the Coastal. A different school has won the Coastal in each of the past six years, leaving Virginia as the only program in the division without a title in that time. The Cavaliers’ bid to win their first division championship begins anew Saturday, when they open the season at Pittsburgh (7:30 p.m., ACC Network). GENE WANG (TWP)

Defending champion Naomi Osaka won 6-2, 6-4 Thursday to advance to the third round in New York.

Top-seeded Osaka wins Kaepernick and Kobe cheer on U.S. Open’s defending champion U.S. OPEN Naomi Osaka smacked a forehand winner into the open court, bringing Colin Kaepernick and Kobe Bryant to their feet in applause. Osaka has power in her strokes and star power in her corner. The defending U.S. Open champion moved into the third round Thursday with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Magda Linette, setting up a possible third-round showdown with Coco Gauff. With Kaepernick and Bryant sitting with Osaka’s team a few rows off the Louis Armstrong

The No. 1 seed gave her boosters plenty to cheer along the way, especially the forehand winner on break point that gave her a 4-3 lead in the second set after Linette had grabbed the first three games. Gauff was scheduled to face qualifier Timea Babos in the leadoff night match, which ended after Express’ deadline.

Halep, the fourth seed, was another upset victim: She lost to Taylor Townsend, 2-6, 6-3, 7-6(4).

The past and the present are tense for Jack (David Oyelowo) and his niece (Storm Reid).

ALSO OPENING

Holding on to a feeling

‘The Fanatic’ R, 88 min.

FILM Jacob Aaron Estes’ new film, a supernatural thriller about a man who receives phone calls from his recently deceased niece, was originally called “The Hurting Man.” The title then became “Only You” during the writing process, and pivoted to “Relive” for the movie’s premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Yet there was another potential title that Estes couldn’t shake. Two years ago, when he was penning the movie’s script, the filmmaker found himself in a state of delirium during a trip to rural Mexico. A cocktail of dengue fever and typhus had saddled him with liver failure and internal bleeding. But the crippling ailment came with one other symptom: a moving mantra that embedded itself in his brain. “As I was being transported from this dirt road where I collapsed to this hospital, I kept thinking about my 6-year-old son and how he was too young to lose his father,” Estes says. “I just kept saying, ‘Don’t let go. Don’t

let yourself go.’ ” Estes was hospitalized for two weeks, ultimately completing his recovery at a facilEstes ity in San Diego. While his body recuperated, his mind kept a firm grasp on those words he told himself in Mexico. “That thought sort of permeated,” he says, “and made its way into the final draft of the script, the edit and, finally, the title.” Backed by Blumhouse Productions, Estes’ film hits theaters today under the moniker “Don’t Let Go.” The movie stars David Oyelowo as Jack Radcliff, an LAPD detective mourning the violent deaths of his brother, his sister-inlaw and his young niece, Ashley (Storm Reid). Pinned on Ashley’s ex-con father (Brian Tyree Henry), the grisly act is questionably deemed a murder-suicide. But Jack’s grief is complicated when he starts fielding disorienting calls from Ashley. Soon, he comes to realize she’s communicating with him from two weeks in the past. As Jack processes the

reality-altering nature of these conversations, he works to solve the deaths — and help Ashley stop them from ever happening. “The title of the movie, ‘Don’t Let Go,’ speaks to this big theme of people needing and wanting to hold on to their family,” Estes says. “But [it’s] also about a young woman who is 12, 13 years old, realizing that she is the agent of her own change.” Estes, 46, wrote and directed the film after plucking the

high-concept conceit from an otherwise unrelated horror script by author Drew Daywalt, who received a story credit on “Don’t Let Go.” The plotting is twisty, as parallel timelines and alternate realities converge. But when Estes outlined the genre-splicing police procedural, he worked to ensure that each story beat was driven by the character arcs. From there, he reverse-engineered the narrative so that the premise served the story, and not the other way around. Along the way, Estes seeded his treatise on loss with emotions drawn from his own near-death experience. “The supernatural is sort of a vehicle for wish fulfillment,” Estes says. “At the core, it’s just about exploring a fundamental human emotional idea — in this case, grief and wanting someone back.” THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

Linklater and friends land job security

Richard Linklater will direct Ben Platt and Beanie Feldstein in a movie adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical “Merrily We Roll Along” that will be filmed over 20 years, according to Collider. The musical focuses on a Broadway composer who leaves New York for a career in Hollywood, with the story told in reverse chronological order. The undertaking echoes Linklater’s 2014 film, “Boyhood,” which was shot over 12 years. (EXPRESS)

“Outlander” Season 5 premieres Feb. 16 on Starz

You can say this about John Travolta’s performance in “The Fanatic,” a movie about a movie-obsessed loser who goes off the deep end when he meets — and is rebuffed by — his favorite actor: He’s committed. Unfortunately for Travolta, the movie — directed by Limp Bizkit frontman-turned-filmmaker Fred Durst — does not live up to the wounded ferocity with which Travolta attacks his part. MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘Love, Antosha’ R, 93 min.

A documentary about “Star Trek” actor Anton Yelchin, “Love, Antosha” is less a somber memorial than a celebration of a life lived fully, if all too briefly. Director Garret Price shows the audience someone whose life — and tragic death in 2016 at age 27 — should inspire us to spend our brief time here as wisely and as well as he did. PAT PADUA (TWP)

‘Brittany’ hustles for your laughs FILM REVIEW In “Brittany Runs a Marathon,” Jillian Bell plays the title character, a young woman approaching 30 whose life has stalled into a deadening cycle of partying, meaningless sex, shallow friendships and an off-off-Broadway theater gig that barely keeps her afloat. The title of “Brittany Runs a Marathon” is nothing if not literal: The means of the heroine’s salvation is her discovery of running, but the twist is that even that healthy pastime — and the positive changes it engenders — invites new ways for Brittany to indulge her deepest weaknesses. Written and directed by Paul Downs Colaizzo, “Brittany Runs a Marathon” is an engaging, modestly amusing, sometimes laugh-out-loud hilarious comedy of manners in which the usual millennial excesses are skewered, from the invidious hellhole of social media to the mendacities of online dating. Colaizzo has enlisted a fine ensemble of actors, especially Michaela Watkins, Utkarsh Ambudkar and a quietly revelatory Micah Stock as Brittany’s newfound posse. The best part of “Brittany Runs a Marathon” is that it provides a showcase for Bell, who has usually been relegated to

scene-stealing but all-too-brief supporting roles (“22 Jump Street,” “The Night Before”). Right off the bat, she gives Brittany a quick-witted, improvisatory edge, which eventually is shown to cover up for deepseated social anxiety. She also pulls off the physical transformation that forms the somewhat contradictory climax of “Brittany Runs a Marathon.” This is a movie that is adamantly body-positive, but it also revels in the fit, lip-glossed, romantically fulfilled butterfly who emerges from her cocoon of red wine, Adderall and shame. “Brittany Runs a Marathon” is perfunctory, idealized, sometimes awkwardly composed, almost always predictable. But it stays the course, with admirable grit and more than a few entertaining grins. ANN HORNADAY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘Lucy in the Sky’

EXPECTED RELEASE: Sept. 27

EXPECTED RELEASE: Oct. 4

SUMMARY: Only Steven Soderbergh could take the sprawling white collar crime detailed in the Panama Papers and turn it into a funky comedic romp. And he’s assembled an all-star cast, including Meryl Streep, Antonio Banderas and Gary Oldman, whose character sounds suspiciously like Goldmember from “Austin Powers.” THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

SUMMARY: Natalie Portman plays a character loosely based on Lisa Nowak (aka the adult diaper astronaut) in “Fargo” and “Legion” showrunner Noah Hawley’s first crack at feature filmmaking. Hawley fans can catch plenty of his trademarks here, including a healthy dose of dreamlike imagery and some schizophrenic aspect ratios. T.F.

@FOTOGUY01, responding to HuffPost editor Noah Michelson’s call for people who’ve “had sex with 1,000 people or more” to contact him if they’re interested in writing a personal essay on their experiences. The call stunned Twitter users, who wondered how one would reach that number of sexual partners, why HuffPost was pursuing the topic and how HuffPost would factcheck any participants.

collaboration. The two teamed up to create the “DNA Test,” which tells test-takers what percent “that b----” they are. The quiz is based on the second line of Lizzo’s hit song “Truth Hurts,” where she sings: “I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100% that b----.” The DNA Test requires users to upload a selfie and is only available to those with a Spotify account.

DIFFICULT

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It may fall to you to keep the peace — at home or at the workplace. You must be successful or your weekend plans may have to be scrapped. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) What you do for another, he or she will do for you when the time comes. Both of you will be in a better position to help others as well. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You should be able to do even more than you had planned today, provided you start out in the right direction. A friend rides shotgun. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Despite any assurances you may offer, someone isn’t likely to believe that you can do all you say you can. Let your actions speak for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The difference between an amateur and a professional approach should be very clear to you by day’s end, and you’ll know which to emulate.

THURSDAY’S SOLUTION

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may receive information through back channels today that boosts your standing among those in charge. Are you ready to do more? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may not be able to take the most direct approach today, so you will have to begin as soon as possible to plot a more circuitous route.

marks an important new beginning of sorts. Don’t let others stand in your way as you get the lay of the land. Take a friend’s advice.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll have to work a deal with someone who, in the past, has been resistant to all overtures. Today, however, a new approach seems feasible. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You may be able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat today, as you figure something out just in time. Share what you learn.

Today in History 1862: Confederate forces win victories against the Union at the Second Battle of Bull Run in Manassas, Va., and the Battle of Richmond in Kentucky.

DIFFICULT

Fill in each column, row and 3x3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles. A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus on completing one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another.
