In Va., car seat camouflage ARLINGTON Andy Schaudt is an invisible man. He is wearing a “seat suit” to make it look like his Ford Transit Connect van is driving itself. His bespectacled face is obscured by a fake headrest hood. His torso is tucked behind customsewn upholstery armor, like the pads protecting a baseball catcher but in meticulously chosen black and stone leather hues to mirror Ford’s usual inanimate seats. The automaker is trying to devise a “standard visual language” so its self-driving cars can communicate with humans. The company is testing a bar of flashing white lights on the windshield meant to replace the nods and go-ahead half-waves that keep people from getting into crashes. And that means some deception in the service of progress. Ford tapped a half-dozen Virginia Tech Transportation Institute researchers, Schaudt among them, to spend August tooling around Arlington pretending not to be there. They drove more than 1,800 miles and collected

Researchers in disguise gauge public’s reaction to driverless vehicles
Virginia Tech Transportation Institute researcher Andy Schaudt drives around the streets of Arlington on Wednesday dressed in a “seat suit.”
150 hours of 360-degree video from six cameras on their van. It’s satisfying work, they said, but it can be uncomfortable at times, jolting conventions in the way strangers interact. One of Schaudt’s colleagues apparently didn’t get going quickly enough when a light turned green, prompting another motorist to speed around to the right and begin to yell. Then he saw nobody there “and said it out loud — there’s nobody driving this car!” Schaudt said.
“When you pull the driver, how’s that going to impact civilians and others on the outside of the vehicle?” JOHN SHUTKO, a Ford engineer behind the experiment of hiding observers in seats to gauge reactions to driverless vehicles. He’s proposed using lights to signal other drivers and other people outside the vehicle.

Aggressive drivers want to employ “communication methods that aren’t exactly required for navigation,” Schaudt noted. So when they conclude there’s nobody’s there to scream at, “it’s a jaw-dropping moment.” Other times, it’s Schaudt and his colleagues who can get a bit thrown. “It’s kind of awkward when you are in the vehicle and somebody’s looking right in the window at you. And it’s OK for you to look at them, because you’re behind this hood and they don’t see you,” Schaudt said. “But you still kind of look away.” On a drive Wednesday to demonstrate the seat suit, the blue sleeves of Schaudt’s Virginia Tech shirt poked out by his knees. But he held the wheel down low so people couldn’t see them. And they didn’t. A cook at Cheesetique, taking a smoke break on an Arlington sidewalk, stared through the rolling van’s front windshield. Nothing. “You could tell no one was actually driving the car,” Travis Hicks said. “Sooner or later, it’s going to be back to the future.” MICHAEL LARIS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Fare evasion busts on rise

Metro has issued 2,130 written warnings and arrested 780 people so far this year for fare evasion.
assaults on transit workers, and particularly bus drivers. According to Metro’s latest crime data, 23 percent of attacks by riders on bus operators are sparked by a dispute over fares. Workers are trained to avoid conflict in situations when a rider refuses to pay a fare, and plastic shields on some of Metro’s fleet of buses can help prevent serious injury if there is an attack. But Metro believes that if police demonstrate a zero-tolerance approach to fare evasion, riders will stop trying it — thus cutting risks for Metro staff. Metro General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld acknowledged as

much on Tuesday, when he spoke about the need for bus operator assaults to be taken more seriously as a crime. Thwarting fare evasion, he said, is part of that effort to create a don’t-messwith-the-driver atmosphere for Metro customers. “It’s the same way I feel about fare enforcement. The revenue is fine — but the big issue for me is the culture,” Wiedefeld said. “This is a system where we expect people to play by certain rules. And if you let people just walk through the gates, and no one says anything to them, then what message does that send?” MARTINE POWERS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

But McCauley never arrived and friends began to worry and reported her missing. The deal with prosecutors calls for a 30-year prison sentence. (TWP)
THE DAILY PROGRESS VIA AP
TRANSPORTATION Metro Transit Police are aggressively ramping up efforts to crack down on fare evasion, doubling the number of citations issued for the offense in the first six months of 2017, according to agency statistics. According to data released by Metro this week, transit police handed out nearly 7,000 citations or summonses for fare evasion between January and June of this year. That’s a 116 percent jump from the number of citations issued during the same six-month period of 2016. Transit police also issued 2,130 written warnings and arrested 780 people in the first half of this year. The crackdown is part of a concerted effort by Metro officials to get people to pay their fares — a strategy that’s only partially aimed at averting revenue losses from unpaid rides.
Sure, the budget-challenged transit agency can use all the cash it can get. Sixty-five percent of fare evasion citations and summonses in early 2017 were handed out at Metro stations, where it can be easier to slip by a station manager unnoticed. And for Metro, the lost revenue from forgone fares is especially high when people take free trips on rail, which could be up to $6 in value during peak periods. Depending on the jurisdiction, fines for fare evasion can be as high as $300 — though it is often far less, and the money is paid to each jurisdiction. The prospect of lost train fare revenue is why Metro’s newly instituted “Fair Share” program focuses on preventing people from slipping through station fare gates unnoticed. Starting last May, officials began placing audio alarms and magnetic “gate stops” in Gallery Place and Fort Totten stations, an experiment in how to prevent fare scofflaws. But identifying and penalizing SmarTrip cheats also is part of a plan to reduce incidents of

Md. groups launch clean energy drive MARYLAND Maryland environmental advocates have begun a push to require state utilities to buy half of their electricity from renewable sources such as wind and solar by 2030, promising to make the issue a top focus of the 2018 legislative session and election. The Maryland Climate Coalition and the Maryland Clean Energy Jobs Initiative, which are leading the effort, announced the campaign Wednesday. More than 330 organizations have pledged support for the drive, including other environmental groups, businesses, faith organizations, labor unions and the Maryland NAACP. The groups will also urge the state to invest more in job training for the renewable-energy industry and assistance for businesses in the field that are owned by minorities and women. Advocates say the campaign

Advocates want utilities to buy half of their electricity from renewable sources like offshore wind by 2030.
is especially important in light of President Trump’s promise to bolster the coal industry, his decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement and his administration’s proposal to slash the budget for the U.S. Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, including its agency’s research money. “As the federal government moves backward on climate,
Maryland is moving forward,” said Karla Raettig, executive director of the Maryland League of Conservation Voters. Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, rejected legislation last year to boost the state’s renewableenergy requirement from 20 percent by 2022 to 25 percent by 2020, but the legislature, where Democrats hold strong majorities in both chambers, overrode his veto. The governor, who is expected to seek a second term in 2018, had said the increase would raise energy prices in the state. Democrats countered that the measure would create green jobs and that the environmental and public health benefits would outweigh the costs of complying with the enhanced requirements. Many supporters also argued that the costs would be modest in the near term and possibly nonexistent in the future, pointing out that renewable energy is quickly becoming less expensive. Hogan’s office did not respond to a request for comment. JOSH HICKS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

COLLEGE PARK, MD. The city council and mayor of College Park voted narrowly Tuesday night to give noncitizens the right to vote in municipal elections, making it the largest city in Prince George’s County to allow undocumented immigrants, student-visa holders and residents with green cards to cast votes in local elections. Following a summer of heated debate among residents and council members, the decision came during a tense four-hour meeting in which residents who supported expanding the right to vote said the issue was about civil rights, and those who opposed the expansion said casting a vote was a privilege immigrants should
earn by becoming citizens. Most residents who submitted comments supported the amendment to expand voting rights, Mayor Patrick Wojahn said. The amendment will take effect in 2019. About 20 percent of College Park’s 32,275 residents are foreign-born, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The University of Maryland campus, with more than 27,000 undergraduates, has about 3,600 international students. College Park is the third city in Prince George’s County to allow noncitizens to vote in municipal elections, following Hyattsville and Mount Rainier. RACHEL CHASON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Sanders introduces bill to grant Medicare to all
ORGANIZED CHAOS
Squirrels have a plan when hoarding nuts
POLITICS Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced legislation Wednesday that would expand Medicare into a universal health insurance program. And the independent from Vermont had the backing of at least 15 Democratic senators — a record level of support for an idea that had been relegated to the fringes during the last Democratic presidency. “This is where the country has got to go,” Sanders said at his Senate office. “Right now, if we want to move away from a dysfunctional, wasteful, bureaucratic system into a rational health care system that guarantees coverage to everyone in a cost-effective way, the only way to do it is Medicare for All.” His bill, the Medicare for All Act of 2017, has no chance of passage in a Republican-run Congress. But the bill is already backed by most of the senators seen as likely 2020 Democratic candidates — if not by most senators facing tough re-election battles in 2018. It would create a public health care system that would be paid for by higher taxes. Everything from emergency surgery to prescription drugs, from mental health to eye care, would be covered,

with no co-payments. Americans younger than 18 would immediately obtain “universal Medicare cards,” while Americans not currently eligible for Medicare would be phased into the program over four years. Employer-provided health care would be replaced, with the employers paying higher taxes but no longer being on the hook for insurance. Private insurers would remain, with fewer customers, to pay for elective treatments such as cosmetic surgery — a system similar to that in Australia. Also on Wednesday, a group of GOP senators introduced their own health care proposal. Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Bill Cassidy, R-La., proposed
legislation that would do away with many of the subsidies and mandates of the Affordable Care Act, and instead would provide block grants to the states to help individuals pay for health coverage. The senators said that some states would get more money to provide health care than they get through the current system. President Trump lauded the GOP senators’ effort, but it was unclear how much energy the White House was actually putting into the health care drive. “Inaction is not an option, and I sincerely hope that Senators Graham and Cassidy have found a way to address the Obamacare crisis,” Trump said.
Nature’s most famous hoarders have a method to their madness. Scientists behind a study published this week in the journal Royal Society Open Science discovered the first evidence that squirrels divvy up their nuts by “chunking,” a strategy in which humans or animals organize information into smaller discrete units. In the two-year study, researchers found that fox squirrels that foraged in a single location tended to organize their stashes by type of nut, while those that foraged at several locations never buried nuts close to where they retrieved them, UPI reports.

Probers: Flynn didn’t disclose trip to Mideast NATIONAL SECURITY Former business associates of Michael Flynn have told lawmakers that he traveled to the Middle East in 2015 as part of a private proposal to build nuclear power plants across the region, a trip that the former Trump administration national security adviser never disclosed during his security clearance process. Flynn is a subject of the federal investigation into whether the Trump campaign helped Russia meddle in the election. In a letter Wednesday, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., and Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., say companies involved in the proposal provided details of Flynn’s trip that suggest he also failed to report contacts with the Israeli and Egyptian governments. The information in the letter is the latest evidence that Flynn didn’t fully account for his foreign contacts and business ties, even though he was liable for possible federal criminal penalties for lying or omitting such information. NBC News reported Wednesday that Flynn’s son, Michael G. Flynn, is also a subject of the probe into possible collusion with Russia. NBC cited sources that said the inquiry into the younger Flynn focuses at least in part on his work with his father’s lobbying firm. Michael G. Flynn helped spread the “pizzagate” hoax that claimed Hillary Clinton was part of a child sex trafficking ring based in Washington. (AP/EXPRESS)

U.S. bans Russian tech firm Espionage fears spur federal agencies to bar cybersecurity company NATIONAL SECURITY The U.S. government on Wednesday banned the use of a Russian brand of security software by federal agencies amid concerns the company has ties to statesponsored cyberespionage activities, according to U.S. officials. Acting Homeland Security secretary Elaine Duke ordered that Kaspersky Lab software be barred from federal civilian government networks, giving agencies a timeline to get rid of it, according to several officials familiar with the plan who were
not authorized to speak publicly about it. Duke ordered the scrub on the grounds that the company has connections to the Russian government and its software poses a security risk. “The Department is concerned about the ties between certain Kaspersky officials and Russian intelligence and other government agencies, and requirements under Russian law that allow Russian intelligence agencies to request or compel assistance from Kaspersky and to intercept communications transiting Russian networks,” the department said in a statement. The directive comes in the wake of an unprecedented Russian operation to interfere in the
U.S. presidential election that saw Russian spy services hack the networks of the Democratic National Committee and other political organizations and release damaging information. In a statement to The Washington Post on Wednesday, the company said: “Kaspersky Lab doesn’t have inappropriate ties with any government, which is why no credible evidence has been presented publicly by anyone or any organization to back up the false allegations made against the company. The only conclusion seems to be that Kaspersky Lab, a private company, is caught in the middle of a geopolitical fight, and it’s being treated unfairly even though the

The order applies only to civilian government networks, not the military’s. But the Defense Department, which includes the National Security Agency, does not generally use Kaspersky software, officials said. ELLEN NAKASHIMA

POZZUOLI, ITALY | The coffins of three family members who died in a volcanic field near Naples are carried at the site Tuesday. Italian news reports said that on Tuesday, an 11-year-old Italian boy fell into a 10-foot-deep pit after he entered an off-limits area at the Solfatara Crater, a site popular with tourists. His father and mother fell into the hole trying to rescue him. It was not clear whether they were killed because of the hot mud or whether they were overcome by the sulfurous fumes. The mayor declared a day of grieving.

8 from nursing home die Post-Irma blackouts put Florida’s elderly at risk in sweltering conditions

Many homes in St. John were damaged from Hurricane Irma.

Florida and beyond confronted a multitude of new hazards in the storm’s aftermath, including tree-clearing accidents and lethal fumes from generators. Not counting the nursing home deaths, at least 15 people in Florida have died under Irma-related circumstances, and six more in South Carolina and Georgia, many of them well after the storm had passed. The death toll across the Caribbean stood at 38. At least six people died apparently of carbon monoxide poisoning from generators in Florida. A Tampa man died after the chain

IRMA Eight patients at a sweltering nursing home died after Hurricane Irma knocked out the air conditioning, raising fears Wednesday about the safety of Florida’s 4 million senior citizens amid power outages that could go on for days. Hollywood, Fla., Police Chief Tom Sanchez said investigators believe the deaths at the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills were heat-related, and added: “The building has been sealed off and we are conducting a criminal investigation.” Gov. Rick Scott called on Florida emergency workers to immediately check on nursing homes and assisted living facilities to make sure patients are safe, and he ordered an investigation into the deaths. “This situation is unfathomable,” he said. The home said in a statement that the hurricane had knocked out a transformer that powered the air conditioning. Exactly how the deaths happened was under investigation, with Sanchez saying authorities have not ruled anything out, including carbon monoxide poisoning from generators. He also said investigators will look into how many windows were open. Across the street from the nursing home sat a fully airconditioned hospital, Memorial Regional. “It’s a sad state of affairs,” the police chief said. “We all have elderly people in facilities, and we all know we depend on those people in those facilities to care for a vulnerable elderly population.” The deaths came as people trying to put their lives back together in hurricane-stricken

In Hollywood, three patients were found dead at the home Wednesday after emergency workers received a call about a person with a heart attack, and five more died later, police said. Altogether, more than 100 patients there were found to be suffering in the heat and were evacuated. Patients were treated for dehydration, breathing difficulties and other heat-related ills, authorities said. Nursing homes in Florida are required by state and federal law

Small signs of progress on U.S. Virgin Islands IRMA The last of the tourists were gone Wednesday from the U.S. Virgin Islands, ferried away from the wreckage of Hurricane Irma in cruise ships bound for Puerto Rico and Miami. Most part-time residents had cleared out as well. Those left behind on St. Thomas and St. John were surviving on whatever they could find as they tried to repair or secure their houses. Many were surviving on military rations handed out by U.S. Marines and the National Guard or at a local church. A complete damage assessment on St. Thomas and St. John has yet to be done, but many homes were left in ruins, as were police and fire stations and the main hospital. There were four deaths from the storm, as well as a power-line worker killed Tuesday while doing repairs. St. Croix, however, escaped relatively unscathed thanks to its location about 45 miles to the south. There has been some progress on St. Thomas. The health department reopened a prenatal clinic and at least one waterpump station was back online. Power has been restored to parts of the island. Governor Kenneth Mapp praised the response of the U.S. government and said President Trump would visit in about a week. BEN FOX AND IAN BROWN (AP)

Cassini faces its fiery finish
Parents gather behind a high school in Rockford, Wash., to wait for their children.
1 dead, 3 injured near Spokane in school shooting
spacecraft had ventured into Saturn’s neighborhood: NASA’s Pioneer 11 in 1979 and Voyager 1 and 2 in the 1980s. Those were just flybys, though, and offered fleeting glances. Cassini provided the first hard look at Saturn, its rings and moons. It discovered six moons — some barely a mile or two across — as well as swarms of moonlets that are still part of Saturn’s rings. Cassini has traveled 4.9 billion miles since its launch, orbited Saturn nearly 300 times and collected more than 453,000 pictures and 635 gigabytes of data. Cassini revealed seas and lakes of methane and ethane at Titan — the result of rainfall — and provided evidence of an underground ocean. Over at Enceladus, Cassini unveiled plumes of water vapor spewing from cracks at the south pole. These geysers blast icy particles into one of Saturn’s rings. Thanks to Cassini, scientists believe water lies beneath Enceladus, making it a prime spot to look for traces of life. “The book is not complete,” said Earl Maize of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “But this has been a marvelous ride.”
ROCKFORD, WASH. A shooter opened fire at a high school in a tiny town in Washington state Wednesday, killing one student, injuring three others and sending worried parents to the school in a frenzied rush, authorities said. Brian Schaeffer of the Spokane Fire Department said one child died at Freeman High School in Rockford, south of Spokane. Three injured victims were hospitalized and expected to survive. He said the shooter was taken into custody. Michael Harper, 15, a sophomore at the school, said the suspect was a classmate who had long been obsessed with past school shootings. Harper said the suspect had brought notes to the school in the beginning of the year, saying he might get killed or jailed, and that students alerted counselors. The shooter came into the school Wednesday carrying a duffel bag, Harper said. After shots were fired, students went running and screaming down the hallways, the teen said. Harper said the shooter had many friends and wasn’t bullied. Schaeffer, who didn’t release any information about a possible motive or the age of the suspect, said the shooting was especially hard for first responders, many of whom have children at the school. Authorities didn’t release the ages of the victims.

SCIENCE After a 20-year voyage, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft is poised to dive into Saturn on Friday to become forever one with the planet. There’s no turning back: It’s set to careen through the atmosphere and burn up like a meteor in the sky over Saturn. NASA is hoping for scientific dividends up until the end. Every tidbit of data radioed back from Cassini will help astronomers better understand the Saturnian system — rings, moons and all. The only spacecraft ever to orbit Saturn, Cassini spent the past five months exploring the uncharted territory between the gaseous planet and its dazzling rings. It’s darted 22 times between that gap, sending back ever more wondrous photos. On Monday, Cassini flew past jumbo moon Titan one last time for a gravity assist — a final kiss goodbye, as NASA calls it, nudging the spacecraft into a deliberate, no-way-out path. During its final plunge early Friday morning, Cassini will keep sampling Saturn’s atmosphere and beaming back data, until the spacecraft loses control and its antenna no longer points toward Earth. Descending at a

scorching 76,000 mph, Cassini will melt and then vaporize. It should be all over in a minute. “The mission has been insanely, wildly, beautifully successful, and it’s coming to an end,” said NASA program scientist Curt Niebur. “I find great comfort in the fact that Cassini will continue teaching us up to the very last second.” Telescopes on Earth will watch for Cassini’s burnout nearly a billion miles away. But any flashes will be hard to see. The plutonium on board will be the last thing to go. The dangerous substance was encased in superdense iridium as a safeguard for Cassini’s 1997 launch and has been used to run its instruments.
Once the iridium melts, the plutonium will be dispersed into the atmosphere. Nothing should escape Saturn’s deep gravity well. The whole point of this one last exercise, dubbed the “Grand Finale,” is to prevent the spacecraft from crashing into the moons of Enceladus or Titan. NASA wants future explorers to find pristine worlds where life might exist, free of Earthly contamination. It’s inevitable that the $3.9 billion mission is winding down. Cassini’s fuel tank is almost empty, and its objectives have been accomplished many times over since its 2004 arrival at Saturn following a seven-year journey. Until Cassini, only three

ALLEGED ASSAULT
Howie Kendrick, far left, could hold off Jayson Werth for a spot in the lineup during the playoffs.
Quandary in left field Kendrick was brought in to boost the bench but might supplant Werth in the lineup NATIONALS The day after he traded for Howie Kendrick, Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said the versatile veteran “strengthens our bench.” Kendrick was replacing reserve Chris Heisey while providing insurance in case left fielder Jayson Werth, who was on the disabled list with a fractured foot, suffered a setback. The expectation remained that Werth would return and reclaim his starting job. But a month later, Werth is out with another injury, Kendrick hasn’t stopped raking, and manager Dusty Baker said he isn’t ready to hand the job back to Werth. When asked Tuesday whether Werth, 38, has something to prove when he returns from the
shoulder injury that kept him out five straight games before Wednesday’s night game against the Braves, Baker said he hadn’t yet decided who would play in left during the playoffs. “It’s too early to tell,” Baker said. “I’ll figure it out. ... Both of them have been through the wars so to speak. But to have Jayson and [Adam] Lind or to have Kendrick and Lind, that’s a pretty good left-right [bench] combination.” (Lind hits left-handed.) Kendrick, 34, made his third career start in right field Tuesday, going 1-for-3, but has made 23 of his first 29 starts with the Nationals in left. Entering Wednesday, he was batting .323 with a .919 OPS
Werth needs at-bats After missing almost three months with a broken foot, left fielder Jayson Werth went 2-for-4 with a home run in his first game back. But Werth went 0-for-20 in six games before sitting out again with a shoulder injury. Werth, 38, said Tuesday he needs to accumulate at-bats “soon” to feel comfortable going into the playoffs. J.C.
in 38 games since joining the Nationals. Overall, he was batting .332 with an .883 OPS in 77 games this season. Baker said Tuesday that Werth is day-to-day. The Nationals want to be cautious. At the same time, Werth, who played in 55 of
Washington’s 144 games before Wednesday, is running out of time to find his stroke. The Nationals could decide to give the starting job to Werth regardless. He’s a clubhouse leader and playoff hero around these parts, and it’s his last October with Washington before his contract runs out after the year is over. The Nationals could determine Kendrick’s positional versatility is better suited for the bench. If Bryce Harper, who is expected to return this season, isn’t ready, there will be room for both Werth and Kendrick in the starting nine in the playoffs. But if not, the Nationals will have a choice to make each night.

INDIANS 5, TIGERS 3 Making history almost every time they take the field, the Indians won their 21st straight game Wednesday, setting the AL winning-streak record and joining only two other teams in the past 101 years to win that many consecutive games. Jay Bruce hit a three-run homer off Buck Farmer (4-3), and Mike Clevinger (10-5) won his fourth straight start as Cleveland defeated the visiting Tigers 5-3 and matched the 1935 Chicago Cubs for the second-longest streak since 1900.
The run put the Indians within five wins of catching the 1916 New York Giants, who were undefeated in 27 consecutive games with 26 victories and a tie. The Indians haven’t lost in 20 days, and they’ve rarely been challenged during a late-season run in which they’ve dominated every aspect of the game. Roberto Perez added a homer in the seventh for the Indians’ final run, and four Cleveland relievers allowed no runs, with Cody Allen getting his 27th save.

up front Pearl Street Warehouse sets its lineup Booker T. Jones will help open the venue and diner at The Wharf
MUSIC Pearl Street Warehouse, a new music venue and restaurant at The Wharf from the owners of Cantina Marina, has announced its opening slate of concerts. Booker T. Jones, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer who led The MGs and co-wrote “Green Onions,” will headline the venue’s opening-day show on Oct. 12. Pearl Street (33 Pearl St. SW) will be quite intimate, with a capacity of about 150 for seated
shows and 300 for shows with a mix of standing and seats (including a 50-person mezzanine balcony). Dinner service will be available from the venue’s American diner-style menu during concerts. (The restaurant will be open daily for breakfast and lunch.) In many ways, Jones represents the kind of acts the venue is aiming to attract. “I’ve tongue-in-cheek called it American music,” says Bruce A. Gates, who co-owns Pearl Street and Cantina Marina. “It is Americana but we’re gonna have blues and rock ’n’ roll and country and more.”

Renderings of Pearl Street Warehouse reveal the intimate space planned.
Jones “is drawing from everything that Americana music is and from soul, from Memphis, and the blues, as well as collaborating with acts like Drive-By Truckers and The Roots,” says Lisa White,
the venue’s talent buyer. White, who used to book shows at 9:30 Club and Gypsy Sally’s, says the new venue will focus on local acts and rising artists. “The role of Pearl Street Warehouse is
to develop artists,” White says. Highlights on the initial schedule include: Levon Helm’s daughter Amy Helm (Oct. 13); Asheville, N.C., bluegrass band Town Mountain (Oct. 14); folk singer Amythyst Kiah (Oct. 27); and a pair of rare solo shows from Drive-By Truckers frontman Patterson Hood (Dec. 2 & 3).

Harry’s Reserve
Eric Schaeffer, co-founder and artistic director of Signature Theatre in Arlington, has directed dozens of productions at the theater, including its current offering, “A Little Night Music.” He’s also directed Broadway productions of “Gigi,” “Follies,” “Putting It Together” and “Million Dollar Quartet,” a 2010 Tony nominee for best musical. Signature even won a Regional Theatre Tony Award in 2009. So it’s no surprise to learn that if Schaeffer, 55, had a day off, he’d spend it in an audience somewhere — though the seat he’d occupy might not be one people expect. I have bike trails near my place in Arlington County that connect to Mount Vernon, so I’d probably go bike riding first. Then I’d probably grab an afternoon movie. Then I’d go to Joe’s [Seafood, Prime Steak &] Stone Crab for happy hour; they have a great happy hour there. The fried pickles are really, really good — I would get fried pickles and king crab legs. It doesn’t sound like a good combination, but it’s good. I’d go around 3:30.

Wonders great, and smaller EXHIBITS In 2015, Hirshhorn chief curator Stephane Aquin visited the Long Island home of Russian artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov. As the artists showed Aquin around their studio, the curator was floored by what he saw: dozens of perfect little models representing the huge, whimsical installations the couple have become famous for erecting all over the world. “I was just stunned, and I came back and discussed it with [Hirshhorn director] Melissa [Chiu] and said, ‘These are just fantastic things. We have to show them,’ ” Aquin recalls. Chiu agreed, and the resulting exhibit, “Ilya and Emilia Kabakov: The Utopian Projects,” opened at the museum last week. The Kabakovs, who have been making large installations together since 1988, started making small-scale versions of their works around eight years later, Emilia Kabakov says. “We wanted to make a museum of unrealized projects,” she says. “Over the years, we started making models of the realized projects too, so that when people come to the studio they could experience the projects in three-dimensional form.” One of the models on display at the Hirshhorn, “The Man Who
Flew Into Space From His Apartment,” is a miniaturized version of a piece that Ilya first created in his Moscow studio in 1985. It depicts the dingy Soviet dwelling of a man who apparently built a catapult and launched himself through his ceiling and out of his dismal existence. “It’s both very humorous and pretty dramatic, because it gives you a sense of how desperate people could find themselves under the Soviet regime,” Aquin says. Like the character in his Moscow installation, Ilya also dreamed of leaving the Soviet Union. His job as a children’s book illustrator left him unfulfilled, so he worked in secret and risked arrest by creating unsanctioned art, which he showed only to close friends. He escaped to Austria in 1987, where he would soon meet up with Emilia, a distant relative. Ilya was the last person Emilia saw when she left the Soviet Union in 1973, heading first to Israel, then to New York. “He took me to the train station, put me on the train and gave me [some of] his drawings, saying, ‘If you ever need money, sell them,’ ” Emilia says. The two married in 1992. Together, they’ve created more than 300 installations all over the world. That includes large-scale creations, such as a contraption that spans a small island in a lake in Germany. The piece, “The Project for the Preservation of Natural Resources,” consists of a series of windmill-powered

The models on display at the Hirshhorn provide a unique — and manageable — overview of the Kabakovs’ large-scale installations, Aquin says. “You can sort of stage a retrospective of their work through models, whereas it’s almost impossible to do it in real size,” he says. The show also gives viewers a chance to see projects imagined by the Kabakovs that were never built. Among them is a model of “The Large House of Humanity,”
which was supposed to go in a poor neighborhood in D.C. in 1998 but never came to fruition, Emilia says. It would have consisted of a supersized skeleton of a typical American home, with these words written on the roof in wire letters: “Since home we have but one, this Earth we live upon. With our home in constant motion we are striving toward the stars.” “It would have been wonderful,” Emilia says. “At least we have the model.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS) Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Independence Avenue and Seventh Street SW; through March 4, free.

‘Arsonists’ has Woolly all fired up The 60-year-old play has new relevance for its creative team in the Trump era STAGE At around 2 a.m. on the day after the 2016 election, Howard Shalwitz, artistic director of Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, got an email from a friend, director Michael John Garces. Did Shalwitz remember that play they used for some acting exercises over the summer? The one where the maniacs setting fire to people’s houses are an allegory for the unstoppable rise of nationalism? Maybe it was a good time to stage that one at Woolly. Less than a year after that day, and a month after white nationalists marched into Charlottesville, Va., brandishing torches, that play, “The Arsonists,” has opened at Woolly Mammoth in an even more relevant climate. Swiss playwright Max Frisch wrote the comedy in the 1950s, intending it as an extended metaphor for the rise of communism, the Nazi party or nationalism. “It’s one of those avant-garde classics that sticks around, because you can always reinterpret it in light of whatever the big fear of the moment is,” Shalwitz says. “And obviously, there’s plenty of those right now.” The story is a Brechtian parable: A town suffers a string of incidents in which people charm their way into local homes, then
set them on fire. The original play’s hero, George Biedermann, insists he’s not foolish enough to fall for such traps — until he hears a knock on the door and finds himself hosting two strange guests who keep asking him where he keeps his matches. In the battle of wits that follows, the two arsonists prey on George’s pride, self-righteousness and confidence that decency will prevail and that his house will be spared. “The play is almost a catalog of the different kinds of techniques that these populist movements — and you could say [President] Trump — are using,” says Shalwitz, who stars as George. “The ways in which they sometimes cloak their intentions, and other times they announce their intentions in a bald-faced way with no shame, but with enough different approaches to keep everybody off balance.” Garces, who is directing “The Arsonists” for Woolly, tweaked a translation of the play by Alistair Beaton to make the show, originally set in an unnamed town in an unspecified era, feel very modern D.C. That includes touches small (like a Howard University sweatshirt, local street names and a TV in the background playing cable

news with real-life headlines) and big, like Americanizing the names (Woolly’s Biedermann is “Betterman”). The moody new score from Chad Clark, of D.C. band Beauty Pill, adds to the ofthe-moment feel. Among the biggest changes to the original story came in the casting: George and his wife are a mixed-race couple, the Greek chorus-like background players are a diverse group, and one of the arsonists, Billie, is a woman. “The casting is very strategic in our production in a way that I think draws out some of the contemporary relevance,” Shalwitz
“The play is almost a catalog of the … techniques that these populist movements are using.” HOWARD SHALWITZ, star of “The Arsonists,” on the continued relevance of the 60-year-old work
says. “One of the reasons we wanted a good-sized chorus was so they reflected a lot of types and voices within it. It’s not just Betterman versus the arsonists,
but it’s ‘Who’s the community that’s witnessing this’ as well.” Kimberly Gilbert, who plays Billie, was not familiar with the play before she was cast, so the first time she read the script, she thought the arsonists were like freedom fighters, the radical good guys. Now, as the real-world news gets more serious, she has to force herself to see things from her character’s perspective. “In terms of empathy, it felt really gross,” Gilbert says of figuring out Billie’s motives. “I imagine her as one of the Charlottesville ralliers, one of

the white nationalists.” While updating the play, the team also recognized when to leave the script alone. “There are lines in this play that are uncanny” in their similarity to things said today, Shalwitz says. “Billie has this line: ‘The best, most reliable tactic is still the naked truth. Because, oddly enough, nobody believes it.’ If you don’t hear that line resonating with what we’re dealing with today, I’ll be shocked.” LORI MCCUE (EXPRESS)

Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon will make some noise at the Hirshhorn’s ‘Concert for Yoko Ono’ Q+A Kim Gordon isn’t revealing much about what she’ll be playing at the “Concert for Yoko Ono, Washington and the World” at the Hirshhorn on Sunday, but it’s probably safe to assume no one will be humming it after the show. Her former band, Sonic Youth, was known for creating challenging, dissonant music, and Yoko Ono, well, she once released a 26-minute recording of herself shrieking and ululating over John Lennon’s guitar feedback. Despite — or perhaps because — of their avant-garde leanings, Ono’s and Gordon’s aural experiments have been widely influential. Sonic Youth’s gritty rock, for instance, paved the way for Nirvana and countless other bands, while Ono, already well known as a conceptual artist, inspired John Lennon’s “Imagine” with her 1964 instructional book “Grapefruit,” in which Ono asked readers to imagine a variety of things, including “one thousand suns in the sky at the same time.” Gordon, 64, along with Gang Gang Dance’s Lizzi Bougatsos
and Moor Mother, will be interpreting Ono’s instructions and playing pieces of her own at the one-night-only concert, which will take place outdoors on the Hirshhorn’s plaza. (A museum representative said Ono was involved in planning the concert but was unlikely to attend.) So how has Gordon been inspired by Ono? We caught up with the famously taciturn rock star to try to find out. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)
Why did you want to perform at the Hirshhorn’s “Concert for Yoko Ono, Washington and the World”? I think she is a fascinating artist and it’s a nice way to pay tribute and kind of just be part of celebrating some of her work. She was always an outsider and I think she is very unconventional in her ideas and mindset. And those records that she did — she did such early feminist lyrics and she had John Lennon playing feedback guitar. It’s pretty radical. I admire her as a vocalist. She studied opera, you know.
You really listen to her music? It’s so noisy and dissonant. It doesn’t sound that dissonant to me. Which of Yoko Ono’s pieces are particularly interesting or inspirational to you? “Cut Piece.” It’s a really powerful film she did long before she met John. She’s sitting crossedlegged on this low stage and people are invited to come up and cut pieces of her clothes off, and that proceeds until she basically has no clothes on. She’s so incredibly vulnerable. Did you learn about Yoko Ono when you were an art student? I knew about her as a teenager, but her name came up when we studied fluxism, which is a movement that has a lot to do with process, where the process of creating the work is almost as important as the end result. It has its roots in Eastern philosophy. You, Sonic Youth bandmate Thurston Moore and Yoko Ono collaborated on a 2012 album,
Ono everywhere Sunday’s concert concludes a summer-long celebration of Yoko Ono at the Hirshhorn, “Yoko Ono: Four Works for Washington and the World.” In addition to the concert, three pieces by Ono are on view at the museum through Sunday: “Sky TV,” a round-the-clock live video feed of the sky outside of the Hirshhorn; “My Mommy Is Beautiful,” a wall where visitors are invited to post tributes to their mothers; and “Wish Tree,” a tree in the museum’s Sculpture Garden where visitors can leave handwritten wishes on paper notes. S.D.
“Yokokimthurston.” What was it like to work with her? She was pretty easy to work with. She likes just to do one take of something, which I’m into. You know, she is very performative in her vocalizing. Her voice has a presence. She’s improvising, but it’s with real intent.
Can you tell us anything about what you’ll be performing at her tribute concert? I was asked to perform three of her instructional pieces from “Grapefruit.” I chose “Voice Piece for Soprano,” “Overtone Piece” and “Collecting Piece.” We actually did “Voice Piece for Soprano” on our record “Goodbye 20th Century” — we did it as a scream piece. The directions are, “Scream against the wind, against the wall, against the sky.” The directions for “Overtone Piece” are to “make music only with overtones.” For “Collecting Piece,” you are supposed to collect things you’ve heard over the week and repeat them back in different orders. So are you going to be screaming at the Hirshhorn? I’m not going to say what I’m going to do. You will just have to wait and see.

Mount Vernon, 3200 Mount Vernon Memorial Highway, Mount Vernon, Va.; Sat. & Sun., 9 a.m.-5 p.m., $20 per day.
You don’t have to dress in period costume, but if you do, you’ll feel right at home making conversation with George Washington or playing cricket on his lawn. You can also chat with the town rat catcher (who Mount Vernon spokesperson Melissa Wood says is always a crowd favorite) or watch the sword swallower do his thing. They’re just a few of the costumed characters who wander the market or perform at set times.
that were scattered about, but we were unable to find any puzzles, much less solve them. After about 20 minutes, we decided to ask Chris for help. “Hello?” I said into the walkie-talkie. There was no response. I tried again, “Hello? Anyone there? We want a clue,” I said while mashing buttons and twiddling the knobs of the walkie-talkie. Still no answer. Was this one of the puzzles? Meanwhile, two of my friends — a nuclear engineer and a Navy pilot — had figured something out. They rearranged a tray of objects, which caused a hidden door to swing open, revealing another room. Escape room puzzles, it turns out, involve making arbitrary connections. For example, there might be three green candles on one side of the room, and somehow you are supposed to intuit that they are telling you to pick up the green phone on the other side of the room and dial the number 3. My team flailed around for a

Finally, at around the 30-minute mark, he reappeared. “We asked for help but you never came,” I whined. “You changed the channel on the walkie-talkie so I couldn’t hear you,” he said, clearly impressed at my ability to create new challenges for my team. Around this time, some of my friends began excitedly shouting numbers across the room to one another. Then they clicked a combination lock into place, thus solving another puzzle with no help from me. At 45 minutes, Chris came back in and told us that our time was up. My competent teammates were close to solving the third and final puzzle, and Chris
showed them how to do it before escorting us back upstairs. “Oh, man, we were almost there,” Tori said. “I wish we had just a few more minutes.” I, on the other hand, was glad to get out of there and move on to more important puzzles, such as finding a restaurant in Georgetown that could seat a party of six on a Friday night. (The answer: Farmers Fishers Bakers.) My friends want to try another escape room, but I’m hesitant. I mean, why pay $28 to complete meaningless tasks with unclear directions when you can go to the D.C. DMV for free? But perhaps this is just sour grapes from someone who, apparently, doesn’t excel at pattern recognition. So if you think you’re clever like my friends, by all means, check out an escape room. And if you’re hungry afterward, well, at least I can help you with that. Next up: The Staycationer visits President Lincoln’s Cottage.

way, has a Ph.D. in economics. “Am I doing this right?” Luckily, we had plenty of time to figure it out. I had badgered my friends into arriving a half-hour early because the Escape Room Live website warns of dire consequences should you show up even a minute late — “THE DOOR TO THE ROOM LOCKS EXACTLY AT THE TIME YOU SIGNED UP FOR,” it shouts. We loitered at the Escape Room Live bar as our assigned time came and went. “Are we supposed to go somewhere?” I anxiously asked the front desk lady. “No, your host will come and get you,” she replied. “He must be running late.” When our host — let’s call him Chris — finally did arrive, he hustled us into our room and rushed through our instructions. All I was able to glean was that we had 45 minutes to solve the room, and that entailed capturing three ghosts and putting them in boxes of some kind. It seemed there was no “escape” element to our room’s plot. In fact, we could walk out anytime, Chris said, but that would end the game. “What do we win if we succeed?” I asked. “Bragging rights,” Chris said. He handed me a walkietalkie, told us to call him if we needed a clue and left. Our room was set up to look like the library from the original “Ghostbusters” movie and it was pretty impressive, with real bookshelves flanking a big screen that showed ghosts floating between the stacks. We riffled through desk drawers, moved books and read cryptic, handwritten notes

Here in D.C., it’s easy to round up a team of brainiacs. Just grab a few people at random off the street, and voila! You’ve probably assembled a killer bar-trivia team, or at least a passable White House Cabinet. That is, assuming you don’t grab me. I’m terrible at trivia. In fact, I frequently flub basic autobiographical questions posed by my doctor. “How old are you?” she asked me at my annual checkup. “28? 38? I’m pretty sure it ends in 8,” I said. Honestly, how am I supposed to remember my age when the number keeps changing? Despite the available evidence, I continue to have confidence in my own intellectual powers. So I was excited to try out an increasingly popular activity marketed specifically to smart people: the escape room. Escape rooms are immersive puzzles that you and a few friends work to solve together. There are more than a dozen escape room companies in the D.C. area, and each offers a variety of themed rooms, such as “Runaway Subway” or “Back to the ’80s!” I chose the “Ghostbusters”-themed room at Escape Room Live in Georgetown more or less at random, and recruited five of my smartest friends to come along (at a cost of $28 per person). When we arrived, a woman welcomed us and had us sign electronic liability waivers. I should have known we were in trouble when one of my recruits was immediately stumped. “Where am I supposed to sign?” asked Dave, who, by the

Living happily ever after ‘The Princess Bride’ FILM “I think Etsy has made an entire business out of ‘The Princess Bride,’ ” says Cary Elwes, the British actor who starred in the beloved film as farm boy-turnedpirate Westley, opposite Robin Wright’s Princess Buttercup. He’s not wrong — search on the handicraft-selling site and you get more than 8,000 results: “As You Wish” cake toppers, “mawwiage” koozies, signs exhorting you to “have fun storming the castle.” All that for a movie that made just over $30 million at the box office 30 years ago. Elwes isn’t letting go either. In 2014, he wrote “As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales From the
“I’ve met folks who have full tracts of the script tattooed on their body, named their kids after every character.”
Cary Elwes still keeps in touch with the cast of “The Princess Bride.”

Cary Elwes, in town for a screening, just can’t leave Westley behind
Making of ‘The Princess Bride,’ ” in which he shares behind-thescenes stories about the comic fantasy-adventure film, as “a love letter to the fans,” he says. And now he’s coming to Strathmore on Saturday for a screening of the film, followed by a moderated discussion and an
audience Q&A. “I get to interact with fans, and that to me is the most rewarding part,” Elwes says. “Every time I spend time with them, my heart is warmed by their emotional connection with this film. It’s extraordinary.” That emotional connection has

CARY ELWES, who played Westley in “The Princess Bride,” on the 1987 film’s die-hard fans
even linked the cast and crew together in a special way. “I speak to [director] Rob [Reiner] pretty much every week; I talk to Robin every other week,” he says. “We’re in touch, we all make sure that we’re keeping tabs on each other, making sure we’re all doing OK. We’re a family now, forever.”
The connection has grown stronger over the years. “Once we started losing some of the family, that’s when we started bonding tighter,” Elwes says. “We lost Andre [the Giant], and we lost Peter Falk and Peter Cook, and we started to get tighter. Because when you lose family, family tends to bond tighter as a result.” Of course, 30 years after the film’s release, some things are bound to fade — for Elwes, if not for the fans. “I’ve met folks who have full tracts of the script tattooed on their body, named their kids after every character,” he says. “And I get corrected a lot when I misquote lines.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

On the heels of his two Netflix specials — the streaming service’s most-viewed comedy specials ever — and a 16-night, guest-filled run at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, Chappelle is coming back to D.C. for 17 shows at the Warner Theatre, most of which have already sold out.

Funky Meters The four men who make up New Orleans funk legends The Meters rarely get together to play these days, so your best substitute is the offshoot Funky Meters. Led by Meters bassist George Porter Jr., the band sticks to the original format, swapping in guitarist Brian Stoltz and drummer Terrence Houston. Keyboardist Art Neville is usually in the band, but he’s currently unable to travel, so John “Papa” Gros will be filling in. Otherwise, expect to hear classics like “Just Kissed My Baby” and “Hey Pocky A-Way.” Hamilton, 600 14th St. NW; Thu., 7:30 p.m., $32-$45. COMEDY

SATURDAY
Arcade Fire Capital One Arena, 601 F St. NW; Sat., 7:30 p.m., $26-$80.
With 2013’s “Reflektor,” Arcade Fire became an arena-level band, and with that came a shift to a dancier, poppier sound. On its recently released fifth album, “Everything Now,” Arcade Fire places an even bigger emphasis on dance and pop, eschewing the baroque and Springsteen-esque indie rock of earlier albums. Now, with two dance-leaning records under its belt, it will be interesting to see how Arcade Fire merges the past with the present. There is one thing we can say for sure, though: An arena full of people singing along to the epic “Wake Up” will never get old.
considering it must get confusing when someone shouts, “Hey, Martin!” Their fall tour of music and comedy kicks off with a show at Wolf Trap, where we’re sure they’ll resurrect some old “Three Amigos” jokes, and Martin will break out the banjo to play songs off his upcoming “The Long-Awaited Album.” Wolf Trap, Filene Center, 1551 Trap Road, Vienna; Thu. & Fri., 8 p.m., $45-$125 DRINKS

Billy Strings Black Cat, 1811 14th St. NW; Wed., 7:30 p.m., $15.
At first listen, Nashville’s Billy Strings seems like a bluegrass traditionalist, playing covers and originals that sound like the generations that have come before him. Listen closer, though, and you’ll hear Strings’ unorthodox influences, like punk, metal and psychedelic rock. A fast, adventurous picker, Strings has quickly established himself as one of the scene’s most talented guitarists, a position he hopes to cement with his new album, “Turmoil & Tinfoil,” which drops two days after his show with Whiskey Shivers in D.C.

She’s not the ‘Girl’ she used to be A new Lisbeth Salander novel dives deep into the character’s origins BOOK REVIEW Stieg Larsson’s three completed Lisbeth Salander novels were published and became international phenomena just after his death in 2004. His estate later chose Swedish journalist and author David Lagercrantz to extend the “Millennium” series about the Goth girl with the dragon tattoo with a fourth book, 2015’s “The Girl in
the Spider’s Web.” Though purists were skeptical, Lagercrantz was praised for evoking Larsson’s numbed noir atmosphere. “The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye,” Lagercrantz’s latest Salander novel, is even bolder, if more fantastical, as it takes Salander on a quest into her origins. It opens with Salander in a prison cell, serving two months for questionable actions she undertook (in the preceding novel) to safeguard a gifted autistic child who had witnessed a murder. On the outside, Holger
Palmgren, Salander’s former guardian, gets a visit from a secretary who worked at the children’s Lagercrantz psychiatric clinic where Salander spent her grimmest years. She has some of the clinic’s documents, which contain references to something known as “The Registry.” Salander is convinced that this “Registry” holds clues not only to her identity but to a larger crime perpetrated in Sweden against children of
E! developing series based on Karen M. McManus’ YA novel “One of Us Is Lying”
ethnic minorities. “The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye” intensifies the mythic elements of Larsson’s vision for the series. All the talk of stolen babies and a “search for origins” moves the series further into the realms of Star Wars and Harry Potter. A little of this legendary stuff goes a long way in Salander’s hard world. It’s entertaining, but “the girl” at the center of this wild tale is beginning to look like somebody readers only used to know. MAUREEN CORRIGAN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Actor in a drama series
Should win: “This Is Us.” It dares to confront everyday, ordinary life and make it extraordinary. Will win: “The Handmaid’s Tale.” A novel from the past is made into a hauntingly relevant cautionary tale.
Should win: Sterling K. Brown (“This Is Us”). He has a nuanced vulnerability that keeps heartbreak on the right side of soap opera. Will win: Brown. His win last year as O.J. Simpson prosecutor Christopher Darden showed his versatility.
Hosted by Wendy Rieger and featuring performances by Pan American Symphony Orchestra, Rasheed Copeland and SOLE Defined.
Comedy series Actress in a comedy series Should win: Tracee Ellis Ross (“black-ish”). Ross combines the charm of Lucille Ball with a modern woman’s spine of steel. Will win: Julia Louis-Dreyfus (“Veep”). She is undeniably sublime.
Actor in a comedy series Actress in a drama series Should win: Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”). Her subtly fierce portrayal of a woman caught in hell shouldn’t be slighted. Will win: Claire Foy (“The Crown”). Foy had a lovely and delicate turn as Queen Elizabeth II.
Should win: Donald Glover (“Atlanta”). He’s an auteur with the magnetism of a star, but it takes time for voters to warm up to a new voice. Will win: Jeffrey Tambor (“Transparent”). He’s brilliant, he’s won twice and his transgender role makes a deeply affecting statement.

Should win: “Atlanta.” This show epitomizes TV’s embrace of challenging, unexpected material. Will win: “Veep.” Comedies keep winning streaks going, and with two Emmys in this category, it’s behind the five trophies each that “Modern Family” and “Frasier” collected.
