A celebration of deaf culture First sign language Starbucks in the U.S. opens on H Street HISTORY

JOSHUA TRUJILLO (STARBUCKS)

THE DISTRICT The storefronts along Washington’s bustling H Street Northeast are lit up with familiar names and logos: Petco. Whole Foods. CVS. There is also a Starbucks.

Or, more specifically, S-T-A-RB-U-C-K-S spelled out in the hand symbols of American Sign Language.

That finger-spelling is one way to spot the coffee giant’s first U.S. signing store, where 24 deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing employees run the shop using ASL. The store debuted Tuesday after being converted from a standard Starbucks location to make the design and technology more accessible.

It’s a step, employees and advocates say, toward boosting employment opportunities for the deaf community while also immersing hearing individuals in deaf spaces.

“My identity is accepted here,” said Crystal Harris, a barista at the signing store. “Deafness has many faces.”

The store is just blocks from

A new Starbucks was designed with deaf customers in mind. The store employs deaf and hard-of-hearing people.

Gallaudet University, a 150-yearold institution and the world’s only university designed for deaf and hard-of-hearing students.

On the inside, what may appear like any other Starbucks cafe has been specifically laid out and decorated to celebrate deaf culture.

One entire wall, for example, is covered by a multicolored mural commissioned by a deaf artist and Gallaudet faculty member. In finger-spelling, the mural depicts a lowercase “d,”

representing deafness, an uppercase “D,” representing deaf identity, an eye to represent visual connections, a hand holding a coffee cup, and other symbols showing the merging of deaf and hearing cultures.

Customers can communicate in ASL or write their orders on a tech pad. Rather than wait to hear their names called at the end of the bar, customers look up at a screen showing when their drinks are ready.

The store was also remodeled

to maximize light and open lines of sight — high-top tables or tall stacks of cups, for example, can limit visibility for people signing to each other.

Non-signing customers are also encouraged to use visual cues. Rather than sign that the store didn’t carry chamomile tea, for example, one employee waved his hand across his neck — signaling “no” — and then pointed to a printed menu with other options. RACHEL SIEGEL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT An increase in traffic fatalities in the District is prompting Mayor Muriel Bowser and police to consider several new enforcement strategies, including restricting right turns on red and limiting left turns at some intersections.

“We are very concerned about people dying on the streets of Washington, D.C., because of traffic collisions and we are especially concerned about those incidents where we think they are entirely preventable,” Bowser said Monday. “We want to look at everything that the government can control — how we invest in improving intersections, how we help educate our public and how we enforce the rules of the road.”

The city is boosting its “Vision Zero” efforts following a rash of fatal collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as mounting criticism from residents and advocates who say the city’s commitment to the program — started three years ago with the aim of ending traffic deaths by 2024 — is failing.

As an immediate measure, D.C. police are readying a three-day citywide safety blitz, starting Thursday, during which they will target impaired and speeding drivers at multiple locations.

Police also will be citing drivers “blocking the box” and bike lanes, D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham said. He said the agency is also looking at increasing the number of red-light cameras in the city.

The city is also considering banning right turns on red at 100 locations, the District Department of Transportation said. The

TRAFFIC DEATHS SO FAR

31

The number of traffic fatalities in D.C. so far this year — one more than the 2017 total. That number is also up from 28 in 2016 and 26 in 2015.

Of those killed this year, 12 were pedestrians, one was on a scooter, three were bicyclists, seven were on motorcycles and eight were drivers or passengers. The number has, however, been cut by more than half from 72 traffic fatalities in 2001. (TWP)

intersections are in school zones and within the central business district or near bike lanes, officials said, where the risks to pedestrians are highest. Drivers will also see more restrictions on left turns at some intersections.

Bowser updated the D.C. Council on her Vision Zero initiatives Tuesday morning, before heading out to the kick off a “Slow Down” campaign at Garfield Elementary School on Alabama

Avenue SE, one of four highcrash corridors the city has identified. Reducing the number of crash victims, Bowser said, requires all road users to do their part.

“We need people who use our roads to also be focused on that and doing everything they can to be safe users of the roadway,” she said.

Bowser last month sent a new set of regulations to the D.C. Council establishing tougher penalties for traffic infractions to deter dangerous road behaviors — chiefly speeding. Those are set to go into effect in December. Some critics said they welcome the upcoming changes and those still in the proposal phase, but called on the city to ensure there will be enforcement.

“To say that we are going to do this thing without the proper enforcement, I think it doesn’t help,” Council member David Grosso, I-At Large, told Bowser at Tuesday’s Council breakfast. “If you don’t do enforcement … you are going to have major, major problems.”

local District archdiocese shaken by a recent pair of high-profile scandals THE DISTRICT D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine announced Tuesday that his office will open an investigation into sexual abuse by Catholic clergy in the local archdiocese.

The Washington Archdiocese has been shaken recently by a pair of high-profile sexual abuse scandals — but neither of them involved abuse that took place in Washington.

Earlier this year, former archbishop Cardinal Theodore McCarrick resigned from the College of Cardinals and retired from public life after a string of sexual abuse allegations dating back to his time as a priest in New York and a bishop in New Jersey. And current archbishop Cardinal Donald Wuerl resigned earlier this month amid allegations that he covered up multiple abuse scandals while serving as a bishop in Pittsburgh.

Racine’s office has limited powers; all felony cases in D.C. are handled by the U.S.

AG sues ICE, seeking info on arrested immigrants D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine is suing the Trump administration to get more information about an operation this summer that resulted in the arrest of more than 130 undocumented immigrants in the region. Racine submitted a request to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in July asking for records related to an operation in which 12 city residents were taken into custody.

The agency did not respond to Racine’s requests within the time limit prescribed by law, so his office is asking the court to force officials to produce the records.

The mandatory reporting law carries only a three-year statute of limitations; however, there’s no such limit on the law governing nonprofit organizations, giving Racine the authority to explore decades of archdiocese history.

“According to the law, nonprofits are required to work for a public purpose,” Racine told a group of elected officials Tuesday morning. “If they are in fact covering up child sex abuse, that is clearly not in the public interest.” ASHRAF KHALIL (AP)

Bible museum says artifacts are fakes THE DISTRICT When D.C.’s $500 million Museum of the Bible held its grand opening in November 2017, there were questions even then about the authenticity of its centerpiece collection of Dead Sea Scrolls.

Now the museum has been forced to admit a painful truth:

Technical analysis by German scholars has revealed that at least five of the museum’s 16 scroll fragments are apparent forgeries.

The announcement has serious implications not only for the museum but for other evangelical Christian individuals and institutions who paid top dollar for what now seems to be a massive case of archaeological fraud.

Confederate nod: U.S. has to stop honoring traitors must be to his colleagues, including those who have filed discrimination and retaliation complaints against him unrelated to the print. Those colleagues include AfricanAmericans, whose ancestors would have suffered even longer in slavery had Forrest and his troops won the Civil War. After their defeat, the domestic terrorism of intimidation, violence and lynching against black Americans were the proud calling cards of his KKK. But it is not just black people who oppose Confederate glorification. All patriotic Americans should reject honoring those who attacked and killed U.S. troops in defense of slavery, secession and white supremacy. Forrest and his colleagues were not tried as traitors, but their actions certainly fit the constitutional definition of treason.

That’s why it is insane for the U.S. government to honor Confederates by naming Army bases for those who attacked and killed American troops.

A 2015 Time magazine article talked about the “historical amnesia” that allows the Pentagon to have 10 Army bases named for Confederate officers.

Q+A

How retirement benefits change outside the U.S. Q. I am considering moving to another country after I retire. Could my annuity and other federal employee benefits be impacted?

COURTESY OF JOHN RIGBY

As offensive as it is for a federal official to have a picture of a Confederate general and Ku Klux Klan leader on his government office wall, naming U.S. Army bases after traitors is beyond revolting.

David J. Thomas Sr., deputy executive director of the Department of Veteran Affairs’ (VA) Office of Small & Disadvantaged Business Utilization, had a picture of Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, a slave trader and owner, in his VA office until asked about it by Washington Post reporter Lisa Rein.

“It was just a beautiful print that I had purchased, and I thought it was very nice,” Thomas told her on Monday.

Curt Cashour, a VA spokesperson, said: “Thomas immediately took down the print in question — a work by noted historical artist Don Stivers — and the matter is resolved.”

What’s the point of noting it is a “work by noted historical artist Don Stivers”? That does not weaken the umbrage. The print would be just as offensive in a government office if it were Michelangelo’s.

How insensitive Thomas

David J. Thomas Sr. said he removed this painting from his VA office after learning that its subject, Nathan Bedford Forrest, was a Confederate general and slave trader who was later the Ku Klux Klan’s first figurehead.

honor people who killed American soldiers, a spokesperson said, “There is no discussion on this topic at this time.”

Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., tried to get the discussion going last year, when she introduced legislation to change the names of military installations named after Confederate officers. It went nowhere.

Two years ago, the VA acted, announcing that “Confederate flags will not be displayed from any permanently fixed flagpole in a national cemetery.”

The VA said in a letter: “We are aware of the concerns of

those who wish to see Confederate flags removed from public venues because they are perceived by many as a symbol of racial intolerance.”

Confederate symbols do represent racial intolerance, but defining opposition to Confederate symbols as a racial thing, as important as that is, is confining.

The names and flags honoring of the Confederacy venerate traitors. The Pentagon should know better.

“Health care coverage should always be considered when moving to another country, but there are folks who live all over the world and use the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, since Medicare doesn’t typically provide coverage outside the U.S. Just like in the U.S., some FEHBP plans are better than others when living outside the U.S.,” it said.

U.S. takes first steps to penalize Saudi Arabia over journalist’s killing

HARTFORD, CONN.

Sandy Hook shooter’s writings to be released SAUDI PRESS AGENCY VIA AP

WASHINGTON President Trump said Tuesday that Saudi officials had engaged in the “worst cover-up ever” after the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi earlier this month, as the administration took its first concrete step to penalize Saudi Arabia, revoking visas for its agents implicated in the killing.

That initial penalty was modest, since 18 of the 21 Saudi suspects were already under arrest, and Trump said he would “leave it up to Congress” to determine how best to punish the kingdom.

Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, on Tuesday labeled the killing “planned” and “brutal” and called on Saudi Arabia to extradite the detained suspects to Turkey to face justice.

Erdogan’s highly anticipated comments, during a speech to his ruling party in the capital Ankara, contradicted Saudi accounts that Khashoggi was killed when an argument inside the consulate escalated into a fistfight.

The Turkish leader did not directly accuse the Saudi leadership of involvement in the killing but strongly indicated that the Saudi investigation had not reached high enough into the kingdom’s ruling circles.

“It will not satisfy the public by just pinning this kind of matter on a few security and intelligence officers,” he said. “Covering up this kind of savagery

will hurt the conscience of all humanity.”

Erdogan described an operation in which Saudi agents removed the hard disk on a consulate camera and one team visited wooded areas in and around Istanbul “for reconnaissance” before the killing.

Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump skewered the Saudis, saying, “They had a very bad original concept, it was carried out poorly and the cover-up was the worst in the history of coverups.” He added, “In terms of what we ultimately do, I’m going to leave it very much — in conjunction with me — I’m going to leave it up to Congress.”

said he is working with the Treasury Department on whether to impose sanctions on those responsible.

“These penalties will not be the last word on this matter from the United States,” Pompeo

said during a briefing at the State Department. “We will continue to explore additional measures to hold those responsible accountable.”

The killing of Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi government and contributing columnist for The Washington Post, has provoked international outrage and raised urgent questions about whether Saudi Arabia’s crown prince and de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman, was involved.

On Tuesday, the official Saudi Press Agency published photos of the Saudi monarch, King Salman, and the crown prince meeting two members of Khashoggi’s family, including his son.

City rises with refugees Trump’s immigration cuts could slow the resurgence of Buffalo and other smaller cities

Pence doesn’t rule out putting nukes in space

MICHAEL HILL PHOTOS (AP)

BUFFALO, N.Y. When thousands of others fled the struggling Rust Belt city of Buffalo, refugees poured in to fill the void and invigorate the economy.

Blighted blocks were tidied up by new arrivals from Iraq.

Shops selling Ethiopian cuisine opened, and employers snapped up workers from Myanmar and South Sudan. More than 12,000 refugees arrived in the area in 10 years, helping stymie decades of dizzying population loss.

But as the Trump administration throttles the flow of refugees into the U.S. and the president increases his anti-immigration rhetoric ahead of the midterm elections, Buffalo and other cities that rely on the new arrivals are beginning to feel the pinch.

“The number of refugees coming into Buffalo now is stalled and that hurts not only my business, but other businesses in town,” said Larry Christ, chief operating officer of lighting manufacturer Litelab, where six languages are spoken on the assembly floor.

Big, burgeoning cities like San Diego and Dallas accept more refugees, but their arrival can resonate more in smaller, shrinking cities like Buffalo and Syracuse. Buffalo, an old steel and shipping hub, had been locked in a long, losing struggle to keep people from leaving for places with less snow and more jobs.

Refugees relocated with the help of four separate agencies settle into empty homes and fill jobs at hotels, restaurants and factories. Buffalo, which had lost more than half its population since its postwar peak of around

Former Iraqi refugee Nadeen Yousef, left, speaks at her booth at the West Side Bazaar in Buffalo, N.Y.

Majid Al Lessa helped the U.S. Army in Iraq before he fled the country.

580,000, is now hovering close to 260,000 people.

“We buy a house that is very old, so we get it cheaper in this way,” said Nadeen Yousef, who fled from Iraq with her husband and four children in 2006. “And we fix it every year.”

Yousef spoke from her booth at the West Side Bazaar, a retail space that was packed on a recent day with a lunchtime crowd buying halal food, bubble tea and dim

sum served by refugee operators.

Yousef comes in after her 5 a.m. shift at a supermarket bakery to spend the afternoon selling handcrafted macrame products and international clothes.

Trump last year cited national security in slashing the annual cap on refugee arrivals to the U.S. from 110,000 to a historically low 45,000. Only 22,491 refugees entered the country last year.

Refugees can cost money for localities in the short term. Some local politicians have criticized refugees’ cost and the potential security risk of hosting people from Syria.

But support for refugees is broad in Buffalo, a Democratdominated city. More singlefamily homes are selling for more money compared to earlier this decade.

“We need this influx of refugees or we just become a flat economy again,” said Democratic state Assemblyman Sean Ryan.

Employers like Christ at Litelab and Avanti Advanced Manufacturing owner Jim Wei say they’ve had success with the refugees they hired.

Litelab assembly floor worker Majid Al Lessa once helped the U.S. Army in Iraq before fleeing the war-torn country. Now his two children are in school and he has a home in the suburbs.

“I like Buffalo,” he said, then laughs. “Just the snow is too hard.” MICHAEL HILL (AP)

POLITICS Vice President Pence on Tuesday declined to rule out the idea of deploying nuclear weapons in space, saying that the current ban on their use is “in the interest of every nation” but that the issue should be decided on “the principle that peace comes through strength.”

“What we need to do is make sure that we provide for the common defense of the people of the United States of America, and that’s the president’s determination here,” Pence said in an interview with The Washington Post, when asked whether nuclear weapons should be banned from orbit.

The new positioning comes as the Trump administration moves to potentially exit a major nuclear weapons pact with Russia and possibly bolster U.S. military operations in the heavens by forming a “Space Force.”

The 1967 Outer Space Treaty outlawed weapons of mass destruction in space, and prevented the arms race between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union from entering space.

Pence announced in August that the administration hopes to establish the Space Force by 2020. Some Republicans are reluctant to back a sweeping new federal program. The Air Force estimated the Space Force could cost $3 billion in its first year.

Pence said, “I would … ask my old colleagues in the Congress: ‘What price freedom?’ ” ROBERT COSTA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

88-year-old withdraws from public life because of her current condition SUPREME COURT Sandra Day O’Connor, who in 1981 became the first woman on the Supreme Court, announced Tuesday in a frank and personal letter that she has been diagnosed with “the beginning stages of dementia, probably Alzheimer’s disease.”

The 88-year-old said doctors diagnosed her some time ago and that as her condition has progressed, she is “no longer able to participate in public life.”

After her 2006 retirement from the high court, O’Connor had appeared around the country championing an educational organization she founded and serving as a visiting appeals court judge, among other activities. But she stopped speaking publicly more than two years ago.

Justice O’Connor: I have dementia

UNBANKED AMERICANS

Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman on the Supreme Court, retired in 2006.

“While the final chapter of my life with dementia may be trying, nothing has diminished my gratitude and deep appreciation for the countless blessings in my life,” she wrote.

O’Connor’s announcement of her diagnosis came a day after

an Associated Press story in which her son Jay O’Connor said his mother had begun to have challenges with her short-term memory. He added that hip issues mean she now primarily uses a wheelchair and stays close to her home in Phoenix. JESSICA GRESKO (AP)

nation+world Stocks mostly recover from early plunge, but indexes fall overall

FINANCE A turbulent day on Wall Street ended Tuesday with stocks climbing nearly all the way out of a steep, broad sell-off that at one point erased more than 500 points from the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Even with the late-afternoon rebound, stocks extended the market’s recent string of declines, giving the benchmark S&P 500 index its fifth straight loss. Bond prices rose, sending yields lower, as investors sought safer investments.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index

sank 3.1 percent. European markets also closed sharply lower.

The latest selling came as investors grew unsettled over slowing economic growth in China and increased signs that President Trump’s aggressive trade policies are beginning to weigh on corporate earnings.

Caterpillar and 3M slumped Tuesday after the companies warned of rising costs related to tariffs.

“That’s the story. It’s not the current quarter results, but the commentary going forward, the impact of tariffs and what that means in terms of costs,” said Willie Delwiche, an investment strategist at Baird.

The S&P 500 fell 15.19 points, or 0.6 percent, to 2,740.69. The

More turmoil in markets

A broad sell-off Tuesday morning briefly took more than 500 points off the Dow Jones average.

Dow lost 125.98 points, or 0.5 percent, to 25,191.43. The average had been down more than 540 points.

The Nasdaq slid 31.09 points, or 0.4 percent, to 7,437.54. The Russell 2000 index of smallercompany stocks gave up 12.91 points, or 0.8 percent, to 1,526.59.

Markets have been rattled in recent weeks by increased worries over the impact that rising interest rates, inflation and the escalating trade dispute between the U.S. and China may have on corporate America.

Trump has imposed tariffs on about $250 billion in Chinese imports, and Beijing has retaliated by targeting $110 billion in American products. Trump has threatened to tax another $267 billion in Chinese products, a move that would cover virtually everything China ships to America. ALEX VEIGA (AP)

The 34-mile-long bridge, which opened Tuesday, is the world’s longest cross-sea project and links mainland China with the semiautonomous regions of Hong Kong and Macau. The $20 billion bridge cuts travel time across the Pearl River delta from several hours to just 30 minutes and features an undersea tunnel that allows ships to pass through the delta.

HEALTH The number of U.S. drug overdose deaths has begun to level off after years of relentless increases driven by the opioid epidemic, health secretary Alex Azar, above, said Tuesday, cautioning it’s too soon to declare victory.

“We are so far from the end of the epidemic, but we are perhaps, at the end of the beginning,” Azar said in prepared remarks for a health care event sponsored by the Milken Institute think tank.

More than 70,000 people died of drug overdoses last year, according to preliminary numbers released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this summer — a 10 percent increase over 2016.

Azar said in his speech that toward the end of last year and through the beginning of this year, the number of deaths “has begun to plateau.” Azar was not suggesting that deaths are going down, but noting that they appear to be rising at a slower rate than previously seen.

Earlier this month, the CDC released figures — also preliminary — showing that from December to March, the pace of the increase over the previous 12 months has slowed from 10 percent to 3 percent.

The nation is still in the midst of the deadliest drug overdose epidemic in its history, with opioids having killed nearly 48,000 people last year.

Kremlin warns of new arms race if Soviet-era nuclear pact is broken MOSCOW National security adviser John Bolton held firm Tuesday to President Trump’s announcement that the United States would withdraw from a landmark arms control treaty in place since the Soviet era.

Bolton said the U.S. would

present “in due course� an official notice leaving the treaty limiting intermediate-range nuclear weapons. He also echoed Trump’s assertions that Russia is violating the pact, suggesting that no progress was made to ease the impasse during Bolton’s two days of talks with top Russian officials including President Vladimir Putin.

The Kremlin denies any violations and says scrapping the 31-year-old Intermediate-Range

Since the Obama administration, U.S. officials have said Russia’s development of a groundlaunched missile is skirting INF rules.

Bolton described the Cold War-era treaty as outdated because it does not include other nuclear powers, such as China.

But he suggested it was unrealistic to include other countries in a broader version of the INF Treaty, saying that such efforts had failed in the past.

Putin and Trump will meet in Paris in November on the sidelines of the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, Bolton said. ANTON TROIANOVSKI

THREE POINTERS

Redskins’ soft stretch

Wizards find small lineup fits perfectly WIZARDS Entering Monday night’s game in Portland, the career 3-point shooting percentage of Wizards forward Markieff Morris was 33.9 percent, so it was no surprise that the Blazers and center Jusuf Nurkic sagged off him to help guard the lane.

But Morris, playing center in the Wizards’ small lineup, surprised the Blazers in a 125-124 overtime victory.

Morris drilled a career-best six 3-pointers in 10 attempts. His pair of 3s in overtime carried Washington (1-2) to its first win of the season.

“We just did a great job of feeding the hot hand,” Morris said after scoring a team-best 28 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the floor.

The night marked a return of fun for the Wizards. They

rediscovered the joy in sharing the ball, how infectious good defense can be and the hot-tothe-touch shooting that was MIA in the first two games. And they did this by making one small lineup change.

A deficit at center might have created the opportunity, but the Wizards played their best of the young season because they stuck with a small-ball lineup of Morris at center with wings Otto Porter Jr. and Kelly Oubre and the usual backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal.

The timing to work on that lineup was perfect: The Wizards face the Warriors, the ultimate small-ball team, in Oakland tonight (10:30, NBCSWA). The Warriors are 3-1 after defeating the visiting Suns 123-103 on Monday night.

Wizards coach Scott Brooks might not have intended to play the small lineup for 16 minutes against Portland; before Monday night, he had used the group for three total minutes. But because

Hot-shooting unit keys first win, faces big test from Warriors tonight

The Redskins lead the NFC East at 4-2 and — based on an inviting schedule the next few weeks — should have an excellent chance to build on their division lead of 1 ½ games.

Wizards forward Markieff Morris filled in at center Monday night in Portland and made a career-high six 3-pointers in a 125-124 overtime win.

The Giants (1-6) have won four of their last 19 games and their offense ranks 27th in points per game (19.6) despite dynamic playmakers.

The Wizards’ record against the Warriors since Golden State built its triumvirate of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in 2012. The Wizards were 0-2 last season but almost pulled an upset in Oakland, falling 120-117. (EXPRESS)

Dwight Howard had remained in Washington to work on getting into game shape and Ian Mahinmi, who started the game,

logged all of four minutes before leaving with back spasms, the Wizards relied on Morris and Jeff Green at the five.

The small lineup helped to end an early shooting slump. Against the Blazers, the group assisted on 10 of its 16 made shots, made 8 of 16 from the 3-point arc and scored 47 points.

The unit also transferred its passion to the defensive end. Oubre (22 points) deflected passes and doggedly chased Portland’s wings around the perimeter. And Porter (10 rebounds) made a game-saving block at the buzzer zzer in overtime against All-Star Star Damian Lillard. CANDACE BUCKNER KNER

Ovechkin shares the glory At this stage, he doesn’t mind losing a hat trick to set up a teammate

Saints go all-in by acquiring Giants’ Apple DARRYL DYCK (THE CANADIAN PRESS VIA AP)

CAPITALS Alex Ovechkin saw the open net in front of him — and so did the fans in Vancouver and everyone watching at home.

With less than two minutes left in the third period Monday night and the Capitals leading by two goals, Ovechkin had a clear shot at an empty net and his third goal.

Instead, he passed to his left and onto the waiting stick of T.J. Oshie, who fired the puck into the net and sealed a 5-2 win over the Canucks.

After Oshie scored, he skated over to Ovechkin and they shared a hug and a laugh.

Oshie asked Ovechkin why he passed the puck. Ovechkin offered his response to reporters.

“Save for next time,” he said.

The assist, Ovechkin’s second of the game, characterized who coach Todd Reirden called a “different player than maybe you saw three or four years ago.”

Ovechkin, now 33 and a Stanley Cup champion, no longer seems to focus as intently on individual goals. His priority is to be there for the team, the

proof of which was evident Monday night.

“I mean, right there it was a perfect chance,” Reirden said.

“He could have easily … tried to score himself and it wasn’t even a thought. He passed right to Osh and Osh couldn’t go back to him and that is the way it worked out and it doesn’t bother him one bit.

Ovechkin has eight goals in eight games this season, four on a lethal power play that ranked first in the NHL with 12 goals entering Tuesday’s games.

Ovechkin’s first goal of the Monday’s game came in the final minute of the second period on a puck that deflected off his skate.

“You get lucky, someone hit the puck, it hit my leg and it went in,” he said.

Ovechkin’s second goal came

The tally was also noteworthy for Nicklas Backstrom, who posted the 600th assist of his career on the play.

NFL The Saints have another Super Bowl contender with quarterback Drew Brees, 39, as the centerpiece. And they are taking their shot now.

The Saints (5-1) agreed Tuesday to a deal that brings them cornerback Eli Apple, above, from the Giants (1-6).

New Orleans wanted to bolster its secondary and the Cardinals apparently were unwilling to part with star cornerback Patrick Peterson despite his reported request to be traded.

The Saints surrendered a fourth-round pick next year and a late-round choice in 2020. That leaves them with only one pick in the first four rounds of next year’s draft. The others were used in trades to add rookie pass rusher Marcus Davenport — he cost the Saints their 2019 first-round pick — backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and now Apple.

The Saints-Giants trade follows the pattern of Monday’s deal that sent wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Raiders (1-5) to the Cowboys, still viable in the NFC East at 3-4.

Remember when the NFL was a no-trade league? That’s not the case any longer, as the action continues in advance of the Oct. 30 trade deadline. It has become positively baseballlike, with contenders adding to their rosters and bad teams dismantling and stockpiling draft choices. MARK MASKE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

proportion of Humble’s customers are buying for aesthetics alone. “I’m going to say 75 to 80 percent have a security purpose in mind,” he says.

Leigha Basini of Lorton, Va., just had aesthetics in mind for her Murphy door, so she decided to save by purchasing it in a kit, which arrived ready for her contractor to construct. Kit doors save $200 on assembly and $125 on shipping, says Jeremy Barker, chief executive of Murphy Door.

“We were redoing our master bathroom and closet. ... I was a big mystery reader as a child, and when I saw we could have a hidden door, I wanted one,” Basini says. “It was probably three-quarters fun, one-quarter storage.”

Basini’s contractor assembled and installed the door while she was at work. “I just came home and there it was,” she says. The shelves on the bathroom side swing open to reveal a walk-in closet. “It brought me back to my childhood, wanting a secret room,” she says. ROY FURCHGOTT (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

(THE WASHINGTON POST)

Can you build a secret?

CONDO SPOTLIGHT Washington and secrets go together hand in glove. It should be no surprise, then, that the D.C. area is one of the hot spots energizing the nation’s growing demand for secret doors — panels, bookcases, mirrors or artwork — that swing open to reveal a passage to another room.

The obvious purpose of a hidden door is for security — to conceal a safe room or valuables.

But as pre-built, ready-to-install doors become more widely available, people are adding them for aesthetics, for fun or maybe because they watched too much “Scooby-Doo.” For D.C. resident Nicole Buell, a bookcase that concealed a doorway solved a design problem. In her 540-square-foot Columbia Heights condo, the doors to the only bathroom were in her bedroom and the living area. The living area door left too little room

for pictures or bookcases. “It just wasn’t a good use of space,” Buell says.

The solution began with door hinges bought from Secret Doorways, a company in Ohio, owned by a cousin. With the help of her father, she constructed shelves and mounted them on the ball bearing hinges to create a bookcase that swings open to reveal the loo. “It’s fun to surprise my guests when they visit,” she says.

Now secret doors are going mainstream. “It has become more of a trend than we expected,” says Jeff Watchko, the interior door buyer for Home Depot.

Three years ago, Home Depot began to offer, online, pre-hung bookcase-doors from Murphy Door in Ogden, Utah. “The overall draw to the site was more than we expected,” Watchko says. “It’s very popular on the East Coast and anywhere there is a large metropolitan area.”

The Murphy doors can come pre-hung — already mounted in a frame — in standard door sizes, so it’s a simple matter to install one in a doorway. They range

Pass it on

The effect of a hidden door on the value of a house is debatable, says Victor Brown, a real estate agent and a home appraiser with Capital Market Appraisal. “It isn’t a big enough item [to raise value],” he says. But mentioning a hidden door in ads might attract more traffic to an open house. “You are getting more people interested, which might drive the price up,” Brown says. R.F.

from $850 to $1,750, depending on size and finish.

There are people who want something more elaborate than a swinging bookcase. For them, there are companies such as Creative Home Engineering in Gilbert, Ariz. Founded by Steven Humble, Creative Home often designs doors of unusual size and complexity. The options include a mirror that hides a safe room and an entry large enough to drive a vehicle through.

Because the doors are on the pricier side — a mirror panel starts at $1,500 — a smaller

Price: The seven condo units are priced from $494,900 to $724,900.

Features: The openfloor-plan units have high ceilings (9 to 20 feet, according to developer Andrew Rubin), hardwood floors, quartz kitchen counters, stainless steel appliances, a stacked washer and dryer, marble tile floors and subway tile walls in the bathrooms, and Nest programmable thermostats. Parking spaces are available for purchase for $30,000, plus a monthly fee of $38. Third-floor units have views of the Anacostia River.

Residents will also have access to the roof, which has river views.

Two units have lofts, reached by way of a spiral staircase; one has access to a small balcony.

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK

Let’s hope that last week’s CMT Artists of the Year ceremony is the origin of a country music supergroup.

Nashville’s reckoning TERRY WYATT (GETTY IMAGES FOR CMT)

MUSIC Like millions of people last month, Nashville singer Brittany Holljes watched the Senate testimony from Christine Blasey Ford, who alleged Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in high school.

She saw the committee question Ford, as Kavanaugh vehemently denied the accusation and was ultimately confirmed to the court.

“The feeling of dread and desperation around making sure Christine Blasey Ford was believed and given some form of justice, and the complete and utter failure of that to happen, was so disappointing,” Holljes says.

“I felt so despondent.”

Although Holljes, the 29-yearold vocalist of country group Delta Rae, had never discussed it publicly before releasing an essay last week, she was sexually assaulted at age 13. She found herself revisiting the trauma recently, as women started sharing similar stories. It was a driving force as she co-wrote an anthem called “Hands Dirty” with her brother and bandmate, Ian.

RICK DIAMOND (GETTY IMAGES FOR CMT)

The country music scene is just scratching the surface of the #MeToo movement

Brittany Holljes has spoken out about being a victim of abuse.

CMT’s Leslie Fram is an advocate for fixing Nashville’s gender gap.

The entertainment world has been hit hard by the year-old #MeToo movement but, with a few exceptions, the music industry has been largely absent from the fallout. Multiple articles have tried to dissect the phenomenon: Music is a smaller universe where there’s a fear of retribution, and Nashville’s country music community is particularly close-knit.

While there have been conversations behind closed doors, there hasn’t been a tipping point like

what’s happened in Hollywood with Harvey Weinstein.

“It makes people uncomfortable,” Holljes says. “I honestly think Nashville could do a better job. … But I do want to give a huge shout-out to people who have made strides and efforts to include women’s experiences in the conversation.”

Holljes specifically mentioned Leslie Fram, CMT’s senior vice president and a well-known advocate for fixing the major gender

Netflix to borrow another $2 billion to finance programming

imbalance in the male-dominated genre. Fram spearheaded last week’s CMT Artists of the Year ceremony in Nashville, which made a point to only honor female country artists.

“Honestly, it’s been a defining year for women as far as the conversation being in the air,” Fram says. “Between #MeToo and #TimesUp and what our format has been going through for several years … it all made sense.”

Many artists just hope the #MeToo era will still inspire the business to make changes.

Holljes says it’s amazing to look out into the crowd as she plays “Hands Dirty.”

“I wanted to make sure that they knew this song is about female empowerment, but it is also coming from someone who doesn’t always feel powerful, who experienced someone trying to take my power from me,” Holljes says. “We have to change this environment and narrative so that the next generation and women don’t have to experience this kind of misogyny.”

JASON KEMPIN (GETTY IMAGES FOR CMT)

Old-school rock has a fresh voice On “Anthem of the Peaceful Army,” Greta Van Fleet’s debut album released Friday, the quartet channels Led Zeppelin and classic rock with scary precision, on tracks like “When the Curtain Falls,” ‘’Watching Over” and “Lover, Leaver (Taker, Believer).”

The difference here is in the songwriting: While Greta Van Fleet has rightly generated huge buzz, the group has yet to take that next step and write a rock anthem that burns its way into your brain with just one listen. But this band has the foundation to support the next great classic rock song, whenever it arrives.

Bravo’s ‘Waverly’ revels in civility TV REVIEW The premise of Bravo’s short but sweet docuseries “Welcome to Waverly” feels a little like audience trolling. A group of seven diverse urban dwellers relocate for six weeks to Waverly, Kan., a predominantly white and politically conservative town of 563 people. The idea is almost unbearably rote.

A viewer will with good reason cast suspicion upon the

enterprise, after so many years of watching Andy Cohen’s Bravo sink (and then sink further) into formulaic conflict-choreography.

The great news, however, is that “Welcome to Waverly” is a flatout disaster for the cable network, in that most everyone involved gets along just fine and discovers that there’s a lot to like about one another. What America is this?

Curtailed to just four nightly episodes (which kicked off Monday and conclude Thursday), “Welcome to Waverly” is a refreshingly hands-off reminder of reality TV’s potential, back when shows hewed more closely

Drake’s dozen hits include eight tracks of his own — among them chart-toppers “God’s Plan,” “Nice for What” and “In My Feelings” — and four songs on which he is featured. (EXPRESS)

TODAY: Another chunk of Canadian cooling careens into our region with highs in the mid- to upper 50s under mostly sunny skies. Breezy conditions and very low dew points make it feel colder at times. Mostly clear skies and lighter winds tonight allow temperatures to dip back into the frost zone.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Tracking another’s movements today need not be seen as anything sinister. You simply want to know whether he or she is near or far.
