RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL OSCAR GIFT BAG LAWSUIT STEPHEN KING HONORED

Iraq is searching for “highly dangerous” radioactive material stolen last year, according to an environment ministry document and seven security, environmental and provincial oﬃcials who fear it could be used as a weapon if acquired by the Islamic State. The material, stored in a protective case the size of a laptop computer, went missing in November from a storage facility near the southern city of Basra. REUTERS

In a federal lawsuit filed in Los Angeles, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences accused Distinctive Assets of promoting its gift bags as official Oscars swag. “Distinctive Assets uses the Academy’s trademarks to raise the profile of its ‘gift bags’ and falsely create the impression of association, affiliation, connection, sponsorship and/or endorsement,” said the lawsuit, which names the company’s founder, Lash Fary, as a defendant.

Donald Trump has taken a more than 20-point lead over Sen.

NYC leaders want anti-terror funds restored Urban cities like New York City rely on the funds to support terrorism prevention and preparedness. ANGY ALTAMIRANO @MetroNewYork letters@metro.us

New York City officials are voicing outrage over the federal government’s slashing of funds for antiterrorism measures. Mayor Bill de Blasio, Sen. Charles Schumer and commissioners for the city’s NYPD, FDNY and Emergency Management all called on Congress Wednesday to fully restore funding to

the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) program. Under the UASI, urban areas — which are highthreat and high-density cities — are provided assistance to build sustainable capacity to prevent, protect against, alleviate, respond to and recover from any acts of terrorism. “Anti-terror funding is no place to cut corners. It is no secret that New York City is one of the world’s top terror targets — and the Urban Area Security Initiative helps ensure that we will be prepared for whatever dangers arise,” de Blasio said. “As a city and as a na-

tion, we cannot afford to lose this essential funding at a time when we face increased threats.” Wednesday’s call comes after the announcement that under the president’s request for Fiscal Year 2017, UASI was recommended for a national funding of $330 million —

“With ISIS-inspired attacks and terrorism on the rise all across the globe, we must make sure that America has the resources it needs to remain

The UASI is part of three interconnected grant programs — together with the State Homeland Security Program and Operation Stonegarden — which make up the Homeland Security Grant Program. According to the officials, UASI allows urban cities like New York City — which remains a top terror target — to maintain terrorism prevention and response infrastructure. In New York City, of-

protected,” Schumer said. “It makes no sense for the administration to slash critically needed anti-terrorism funding, especially at a time when we are all on high alert.”

ficials have used part of the funding to support First Responder Training efforts such as the FDNY’s Tiered Response Training and the NYPD’s CounterTerrorism Training, which included an active shooter course. The funding has also gone toward coordinated regional planning exercises throughout the city and Ground Law Enforcement Security Measures — which include “heavy weapon teams” who conduct patrols at airports, bridges, transit hubs, subways, waterways and highly visited landmarks.

Serial subway thief arrested, targeted sleeping passengers

People doze on the F train. GETTY IMAGES

Police have arrested a man they say is a chronic subway thief preying on sleeping passengers. Harlem resident Sidney Phifer, 72, was arrested Saturday when officers saw him walking between train cars, the New York Daily News reported. He had previously been arrested more than a dozen times for stealing items

from sleeping subway riders. NYPD Transit Chief Joseph Fox praised officers Timothy Trotter and Higinio Macias for the arrest, saying they nabbed a chronic subway criminal, the Daily News added. The arrest came on the heels of a newly refocused emphasis on subway crime after the

city suffered a recent rash of slashings, and subway crimes were reportedly up 36 percent from last January, according to NY1. “Subways are not for sleeping. I know a lot of people are tired. They work very hard. But our officers are going to be instructed to start waking people up. Seriously,” Police Commis-

sioner William Bratton said to NY1. Phifer began his subway criminal activity in the early ’80s when he was paroled from prison for a robbery, and he began targeting sleeping commuters, officials said to the Daily News. Over the next 35 years, nearly all of his arrests took place in the subway system. METRO

Lost wallet returned along with honest note Reilly Flaherty’s story went viral after he shared a hilarious, anonymous note on social media. JASON NUCKOLLS @MetroNewYork letters@metro.us

A New York City man had most of the contents of his lost wallet returned, but the note that came with his belongings is now getting plenty of attention on social media. Reilly Flaherty lost his wallet at a Wilco concert at the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn a few weeks ago, NBC reported. Two weeks later, he received an envelope with some of the contents of his wallet and a note explaining why everything was not returned.

The note PROVIDED

“I kept the cash because I needed weed, the MetroCard because, well, the fare’s $2.75 now, and the wallet ’cause it’s kinda cool,” the note, signed by Anonymous, was quoted by USA Today. “I’ve never been so conflicted about a nice gesture,” Flaherty said to USA Today. “I had already gone to get a new license, and had already gotten all my cards replaced. … So basically it was useless to me.” Flaherty told NBC that he appreciates the humor of the note despite that the anonymous sender is technically a thief. “If nothing else, it’s something me and my friends have laughed about quite a bit,” he said to NBC, which also reported that the Kings Theatre has offered Flaherty tickets to an upcoming show for his troubles.

Paid family leave in NY gaining momentum

BRIEF Chick-fil-A set to open second Manhattan location this spring Popular fast-food chicken eatery Chick-fil-A has announced the opening of their second full-service New York City restaurant, scheduled to open in April. Saturday, April 2, will mark the arrival of the new Chickfil-A at West 46th Street and Sixth Avenue near Rockefeller

Center, the company has stated. The full-service restaurant will be aimed at serving a high volume of customers and will be open from 6:30 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Saturday. The company has also described some unique plans to heighten the eatery’s eﬃciency, including having employees take orders from customers in line via tablet.

Chick-ﬁl-A said that this will allow people to get their order within eight minutes of entering the restaurant. Like its current location at 37th Street and Sixth Avenue, the new Chick-ﬁl-A will donate its surplus food to New York Common Pantry, to which it has donated more than 1,500 pounds of food since the 37th Street restaurant opened in October 2015.

A 501(c)3 Non-proﬁt Organization Samantha DiGennaro, CEO and founder of DiGennaro Communications, supports the family leave legislation. HANNAH MATTIX

The legislation would give state workers up to 12 weeks of benefits and up to 75 percent of their current salary to care for a child or sick family member. ALAN KRAWITZ @MetroNewYork letters@metro.us

With the recent passage of paid family leave legislation in the state’s Assembly, which would provide all workers with three months of job-protected leave, advocates across the state are hoping this will be the year New York joins other states in enacting a paid family leave law. The legislation would give all state workers up to 12 weeks of benefits and between 50 and 75 percent of their current salary to care for a newborn or adopted child or to care for a seriously ill family member. Workers on such leave would also have their jobs protected. The program, as currently structured, would

be funded entirely through employee payroll deductions. Current Federal Family and Medical Act (FMLA) leave in the state is unpaid. To become law, the bill must be passed in the Senate and then signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. “I am optimistic it will be 2016,” said Samantha DiGennaro, CEO of public relations firm DiGennaro Communications. “As a business owner, I see the impact this could have on our bottom line, but I think the value for New York workers everywhere far outweighs the costs,” DiGennaro said. Opposition to paid family leave persists in the business community, but labor and employment attorney Thomas Wassel believes attitudes toward paid family leave are changing for the better. “It is likely that these types of state laws will become more prevalent over time,” he said. “Whether Congress can agree on a nationwide policy, in light of the partisan gridlock which exists, remains to be seen.”

Alleged auto theft crew stole $200K in street-race cars: Cops Authorities put the brakes on a group of alleged auto-theft crewmembers who were indicted Wednesday for allegedly stealing dozens of vehicles off the streets. Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown identified the two main members of the alleged theft ring as Queens residents Everald “Rambo” Ivey, 27, and Cashawn “CC” Lee, 31. The two individuals, along with four others, face a 71-count indictment charging them with grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, illegal possession of a vehicle identification number and conspiracy. According to prosecutors, the five men and one woman are being charged for allegedly being part of an auto-theft crew that stole about 27 vehicles of numerous makes, models and years. Authorities said the group focused on vehi-

cles that are commonly used for street racing, such as Hondas, Acuras, Nissans, Mitsubishis and Mazdas. In one instance, a Kawasaki motorcycle was also taken. All the vehicles and motorcycle were valued at about $200,000. The theft ring allegedly focused their efforts on stealing vehicles from streets in Queens and also in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, prosecutors said. To carry out what authorities called “their scheme,” once the individuals spotted a vehicle to their liking they would allegedly use Google Maps’ drop pin feature on their smartphones to jot down the location.

The information would then be sent via text message to other members of the crew, who would later steal the vehicle, according to authorities. The vehicle would then be taken to a holding spot to determine if it was equipped with LoJack, authorities said. Once it was deemed safe, the vehicle would be stripped of valuable parts — which were listed for sale on Craigslist and other websites. Queens has seen a significant drop in car thefts in the past two decades, with about 52,000 vehicles stolen in 1991 to 2,200 in 2015, police said. ANGY ALTAMIRANO

Couple stakes claim to record Powerball jackpot A Florida couple claimed their share of last month’s record $1.6 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Wednesday, coming forward with the second of the three winning tickets. David Kaltschmidt and Maureen Smith of Melbourne Beach revealed they held a winning ticket, worth $528.8 million, from the Jan. 13 drawing at the state’s lottery headquarters in Tallahassee. They posed for photos with an oversized check after opting to claim their share in a lump sum payment. “It’s still like a ‘pinch me,’” said Kaltschmidt, 55. “It is just so overwhelming.” Kaltschmidt said he planned to retire from his job as a manufacturing engineer. Smith, 70, a homemaker, said her age was a factor in the decision to take the im-

mediate payment. The ticket was purchased at a Publix supermarket in Melbourne Beach on Florida’s central east coast. The other winning tickets were sold in Tennessee and California. Kaltschmidt and Smith called the decisions arising from their good fortune stressful and said they had told their family only within the past week. As for their spending plans, Kaltschmidt said he needed a new car and Smith wanted to get a

massage. “We are not going to go partying,” she said. A Tennessee couple with another of the winning tickets quickly came forward last month, announcing they would take their share in an immediate cash payment and planned to keep their jobs. The third winning ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven store in Chino Hills, California, according to the state’s lottery, and officials still are waiting for someone to come forward with it. REUTERS

A court order demanding that Apple Inc. help the U.S. government unlock the encrypted iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters opens a new chapter in the legal, political and technological fight pitting law enforcement against civil liberties advocates and major tech companies. The government argues that the phone is a crucial piece of evidence in investigating one of the worst attacks in the United States by people who sympathized with Islamist militants. But privacy groups warn that forcing companies to crack their own encryption endangers the technical integrity of the Internet and threatens not just the privacy of customers but potentially

citizens of any country. A federal judge in Los Angeles on Tuesday ordered Apple to provide “reasonable technical assistance” to investigators seeking to read the data on an iPhone 5C that had been used by Rizwan Farook, who along with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, killed 14 people and wounded 22 others on Dec. 2 in San Bernardino, California. Both were killed in a shootout with police. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been investigating the couple’s potential communications with Islamic State and other militant groups, and argued that it needs access to the iPhone to find out more. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the Department of Justice was asking Apple for access to just one device, a central part of the government’s argument, which Apple CEO Tim Cook has said was “simply not true.” Representatives of several other tech companies

“They are not asking Apple to redesign its product or to create a new backdoor to one of their products.” Earnest told reporters

did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the ruling. Most technology security experts, including many who have served in government, see technical efforts to provide government access to encrypted devices inevitably brings in law enforcement. The argument has been made on-and-off since the 1990s, when the government tried and failed to force tech companies to incorporate a special chip into their products for surveillance purposes. “The government sug-

enforcement debate gests this tool could only be used once, on one phone,” Cook said in a statement on Tuesday. “But that’s simply not true. Once created, the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices.” If the federal judge, Magistrate Sheri Pym, rejects Apple’s arguments, the Cupertino, Californiabased company can appeal her order to the district court, and then up the chain to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco and ultimately the U.S. Supreme Court. The 9th Circuit is known to be pro-privacy. “The government ultimately will have an uphill fight,” said Robert Cattanach, a former Justice Department lawyer who advises companies on cyber security issues. American Civil Liberties Union staff attorney Alex Abdo said the gov-

ernment’s request risked a “dangerous” precedent. “The Constitution does not permit the government to force companies to hack into their customers’ devices,” he said. D o n a l d Trump, the front-runner for the Republican Party’s nomination to run in the Nov. 8 election, said on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” program that

Apple’s resistance to encryption stems from “ridiculous hysteria ... about privacy and the government.” REUTERS

In addition to videos made in the restroom, Carraway, who was a choir leader, also filmed minors at a municipal center and public pool complex, as well as in private homes, police have said. Carraway faces 10 counts of child pornography, as well as charges of sexual abuse and sexual offense. He is being held on a $1 million bond.

Extremist groups proliferated in the United States in 2015, a U.S. research group said on Wednesday, as ideologically driven violence and incendiary political rhetoric created fertile conditions for white supremacists and other fringe actors. The Southern Poverty Law Center said the number of far-right “hate groups” grew to 892 in 2015 from 784 the year before, spurred by battles over the Confederate flag, gay marriage, immigration and Islamic terrorism. The SPLC also reported an increase in armed citizen militias, to 998 in 2015 from 874 the year before, as antigovernment activists were energized by land-use clashes with the federal government in the West and fears the Obama administration may tighten gun laws. On the other end of the political spectrum, black separatist groups

advocating anti-Semitic views grew to 180 chapters last year, up from 113 in 2014, according to the SPLC. Unlike activists in the Black Lives Matter movement who have sought to reduce police violence, black separatist groups like Israel United in Christ have advocated anti-Semitic and antiwhite views. Not all extremist movements have flourished. Established neo-Nazi groups like the National Alliance and the Aryans Nations have been hobbled by financial woes and leadership battles, the SPLC said. But the number of Ku Klux Klan chapters more than doubled to 190 from 72, the SPLC said, invigorated by more than 300 rallies after the state of South Carolina took down the Confederate battle flag from its capitol grounds in the wake of a June massacre of nine African-American churchgoers in Charleston.

Miley don’t need no prenup How good is Miley Cyrus feeling about her rekindled relationship with former — or is it current? — fiance Liam Hemsworth? So good that she’s reportedly ready to walk down the aisle with him without bothering to sign a prenup first, according to Radar Online. Her family, though, thought that would be a terrible idea and stepped in to get her to slow down. Way to show your anti-Australian bias, Cyrus family. “Miley does not see what those around her see,” a source says. “Miley’s family and management team is not going to let her marry Liam without an ironclad prenup in place.” Now, you might be wondering why they’d be worried, since Hemsworth has all that “Hun-

Alison Brie can’t stop talking about Dave Franco The “How to Be Single Star” talks about not being single anymore. NED EHRBAR @Nedrick

ned.ehrbar@metro.us

Alison Brie may play a single-minded singleton hell-bent on finding the perfect husband in “How to Be Single,” but it’s a far cry from her own approach to matrimony — until recent developments in her personal life, that is. “I’ve never really wanted to get married,

so it was not something that I was ever stressed out about. It was not a priority for me,” she says. “The guys were always kind of around because I didn’t care about them so much. I’ve not had trouble dating. It’s just marriage was never a priority for me, and I may have just been fine never getting married except that, you know, I fell madly in love and then thought, ‘Oh, I guess I could be married to you.’” That falling madly in love happened with Dave Franco, her fiance

and the younger brother of James Franco. And happily, their courtship and relationship bear little resemblance to the hell Brie’s character puts herself through in the film, which sees her testing out an algorithm she devised to game the online dating system. “We did not meet online. I’ve never done online dating,” she says. So was it at a bar, then? “Not quite, but it’s pretty close. We met at a restaurant, through a mutual friend, in New Orleans at Mardi Gras. At that time I consider

the whole city a bar, so sort of.” Brie admits she felt like Franco was the one pretty soon after getting together — by her standards, at least. “There was a semi-immediate click. Probably about a year into our relationship I was like, ‘Oh wow, this thing I thought I maybe never would do, I could definitely see myself doing it with you,’” she says of opening up to the idea of marriage. “And it felt supereasy and natural, and I think that’s probably how it should feel.”

Entering the “The Room” Before Brie and Franco can tie the knot, they got some onthe-job time in together. They appear in “The Disaster Artist,” the retelling of the making of “The Room,” Tommy Wiseau’s infamously terrible ﬁlm. They just ﬁnished shooting it, with Dave playing Greg Sestero, the poor guy who got roped into Wiseau’s plan.

NED EHRBAR @Nedrick

ned.ehrbar@metro.us

Joseph Fiennes is apparently looking to court controversy these days. When he’s not defending his decision to portray Michael Jackson in an upcoming British made-forTV movie, he’s discussing the religious and racial politics of his new film, “Risen,” in which he stars as a Roman officer charged with investigating the death of Jesus Christ to prove he’s not the messiah. Oh, and in the movie — for once — Jesus isn’t a white guy.

In “Risen,” Joseph Fiennes plays a centurion who doubts the divinity of Jesus. ROSIE COLLINS

This is basically two different movies in one, going from a procedural to a religious ﬁlm. Certainly the appeal for me was taking a narrative that many of us know so well. I’m not giving anything away by saying it picks up kind of where Mel Gibson left off in that we start at the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension. Which is a pretty tall order to get into one movie. But what I loved was it takes the stigma off it being a Bible movie by giving our main protagonist the journey — and that main protagonist being a nonbeliever, being a Roman

tribune who’s there to put down these insurrections. The narrative being carried through the eyes of a nonbeliever is brilliant to me. The steps of the investigation felt very methodical and detective-like. I took the opportunity to sit with a detective for a day because it was structured with these interrogations. So I tried to borrow — from a modern perspective — how you would interrogate, and it seemed to me it probably wouldn’t have changed much. Just being threatening. [Laughs] Also, I went to gladiator school, which helped me in terms of precision and warfare and the way they fought. What’s the ﬁrst day of gladiator school like? Bruises, bruises. I mean, I really was like, “Ow! Ow!” They’re wonderful guys, but they’re hardened alpha-males.

Is putting on the Roman centurion uniform some sort of rite of passage for British actors? Yeah, it is. [Laughs] Look at that, six-packs instantaneously! I felt like such a loser at the end of the day taking it off. The other thing — not to digress or be too humorous — is how did the Roman army

nearly take over a huge portion of the world in sandals? I mean, gladiator school was tough enough, but three months in sandals with no socks and no cushion was brutal. Speaking of brutality, while it’s not “The Passion of the Christ,” your cruciﬁxion scene is no

You also have a nonwhite Jesus, which is still rare in ﬁlm and TV. No, he’s not Caucasian. I feel like nobody’s really mentioned this. I mean, there’s such a furor with the Oscars — and I’m not going to wade into any of that — but just in terms of casting, yes this is a big step forward just in terms of getting the casting right and moving away from the golden, blue-eyed boy and delivering the right type of casting. It’s brilliant. I’m really proud of that.

Making a case for being picky New York Times film critic A.O. Scott praises his profession in the book “Better Living Through Criticism.” MATT PRIGGE @mattprigge

matt.prigge@metro.us

A.O. Scott doesn’t have a popular job. Since 2000, he’s written about the arts, and mostly about movies, for The New York Times, graduating to chief film critic in 2004. His is a profession of sometimes savage opinions that often inspire savage opinions from others. Scott confronts many of the arguments against his trade in his first book, “Better Living Through Criticism: How to Think About Art, Pleasure, Beauty and Truth.” Scott talks to us about the changing nature of his job and not wanting to rest on his laurels as a writer for a renowned publication.

The other day you tweeted out a message from Tom Green congratulating you on the book, which gave you the opportunity to post your old positive review for his ﬁlm “Freddy Got Fingered.” You wrote one of the few nonhostile pieces about it. At the time even Tom Green was fairly shocked to have a positive review in The New York Times. They didn’t use the quote in the ads. It wasn’t the image they wanted to project. That review has stuck around, and people have maybe taken another look at the movie. Some have put on the DVD and turned it off after 10 minutes, because they’re just appalled at what they see. Other people may think, “Oh, there’s something going on here. This might be art.” A lot of pieces praising ﬁlm criticism tend to be

Roger Ebert said that movies are about every aspect of human life. You get to say something about politics or sex or love or religion. I don’t really know how to write about those things directly. I’m not a political pundit or a historian or a memoirist. But I can dabble in all those things as a film critic. It’s not just that there’s a great variety of movies, but every movie that’s worth writing about contains within itself very complex and rich information and ideas about life.

very defensive. This is more positive. I didn’t want to write a book that was just a defense of my job, that said I should be allowed to keep it and I’m very important. Some people might assume or think that’s what the book is. But it’s not about

criticism as a profession, though there’s certainly stuff that talks about its history and its future. It’s more about criticism as an activity, as part of the larger cultural product of making and evaluating art and figuring out our place in the world. This book is not an instruction

This is a general question, but as someone who came to ﬁlm criticism from book reviewing, what attracts you to writing about movies speciﬁcally? One is the range of stuff you get to write about. When you write about books, you write 90 percent of the time about a narrow range of what’s being published. The amazing thing about writing about movies is you take it all in. You write about big commercial movies, you write about genre movies, you write about kids’ movies, you write about documentaries, you write about foreign-language films. Every week you get this extraordinary range to write about. And the movies you see are about everything.

Wonder what your pooch is up to all day? There’s an app for that. WonderWoof, a Bluetooth device shaped like a bow tie, attaches to a collar and tracks your pup’s every move on the WonderWoof app. Dog owners will know when their pet is running, sleeping, playing or dreaming. Betsy Fore, 29, came up with the idea while in London. “It was all about my little fur baby,” says Fore of her dog. “He was a little overweight [and] when I looked at the market there was nothing really out there for him.” When Fore put the first WonderWoof Bow-

Hip Arthritis Treatments Keeping Boomers Active Into Their 60’s, 70’s Even 80’s? If you suffer with painful hip arthritis and want medical options to surgery – science may have ﬁnally found the possible solution you've been looking for. Here is why: Arthritis develops from failure of internal cells of the joint to produce Synovial Fluid which cushions the joint. Then, wear-and-tear over time can cause the joint to “dry out” and grind down the protective cartilage leading to pain, inﬂammation and immobility. Let it go too long and your only option may be complete surgical replacement of the hip. But...researchers and doctors have discovered all-natural gel like medicines that are like “joint oil” and can be used to supplement the joint which is drying out... much like adding oil to an automobile. This all-natural gel is quite similar to the naturally occurring lubricating substances in the hip joint. When doctors precisely place this lubricating gel into your hip

joint – always with the use of a advanced medical imaging - it is like putting oil on a rusty door hinge. It cushions the joint and can decrease pain and promote healing. This is not cortisone and has no side effects. For some, results can be dramatic and last for months - if not longer. The earlier you treat the hip, the better chance it can help you. Know this: This is NOT a supplement you can buy over the counter or on the internet. This is a REAL medical treatment that must be given by a health care professional with advanced medical technology only. And the great news is: You can ﬁnd out if you are a candidate for this advanced medical procedure with our No-Obligation Risk-Free Hip Pain Screening at Downtown NYC Medical. To ﬁnd out more and schedule your free screening appointment, simply call 800-879-7343

derMeow was recently this past month and plans to launch for retail soon.

Fore adds, “It’s about them being the director of their own adventure.” WonderWoof is available for online purchase at WonderWoof.com for $95.

Beer Week is back New York City’s celebration of smallbatch suds offers a taste of the creativity and local ingredients right in your neighborhood. EVA KIS @thisiskis

eva.kis@metro.us

If you think the phrase “craft beer” has been watered down, ask Kelly Taylor about it. “The term ‘craft beer’ has been used almost to death over the last few years,” says Taylor, president of the NYC Brewers Guild, which promotes the city’s craft breweries. Friday begins his busiest time of the year: New York City Beer Week, which is actually 10 days of events all about the small-batch brews being made around the city.

more than 90 varieties of beer from the three barrels in the basement. “I don’t want to get bored,” Allen says about the turnover, which sees ingredients like cilantro (inspired by the nachos served upstairs) and mushrooms make it into his brews. “The whole fact that I’m enjoying it is the creativity.” Keg & Lantern didn’t start out that way — the bar used to serve mostly the mass-market beers preferred by the Polish and Korean after-work crowd. It took time, and a lot of experimentation, for Allen to win over the clientele. Now, almost all of the taps are his own brews, which are only available at the bar. “The people that make the craft beer, their personalities come out in the beer,” says Taylor, who is also the co-founder and brewer at Brooklyn’s

KelSo Beer Co. “They’re always trying to make something that’s got a little bit of a twist to it, a hook, a flavor, a depth of character. Every brewer has got their fingerprint that gets put on the beer.” A great way to get a sense of that during Beer Week is on opening day, when 12 breweries across the city will be tapping their SMaSH (state malts and state hops) challenge brews all day long. These

beers were all made using the same New York state ingredients, created from concept to tap in about six weeks. But just because there’s a ton of individuality among brewers doesn’t mean trends don’t emerge. Right now, fully a quarter of all craft beer being sold nationally is an IPA. Credit some of that to East Coast brewers, who have been tempering the hops’ bitterness, says

Allen. Though his Green Eyes IPA, one of only two beers that Keg & Lantern always keeps on tap, has the dry, clear and bitter style of the West Coast, he’s been trying out the new “softer, juicier” methods as well. Whichever you prefer, malt is far from out of style. A good IPA still needs a good malt behind it. “If it’s played right,” Taylor says, “you don’t notice it.”

The message is the same at every one of the 400 or so tastings, talks, dinners, tap takeovers and more taking place through Feb. 28. “To a certain degree, we’re trying to reassert what it means to be a craft beer,” Taylor continues. “It’s made with a certain purpose and a certain degree of character that comes out in the beer, and it’s gotta be presented in a way that elevates the discourse.” To that end, Beer Week is all about getting beer fans face-to-face with brewers and more knowledgeable about the huge variety of beers being turned out by local producers — the guild has 23 member breweries and several more that don’t have a permanent facility (yet).

A ‘Snow White’ dark as the night Company XIV’s latest production evokes our primal instincts. T. MICHELLE MURPHY @TMichelleMurphy

tmichelle.murphy@metro.us

In a smoky room, as low music plays, audience members sip champagne while lithe dancers strut across the stage in fishnets and little else. There’s no curtain to raise at Minetta Lane Theatre, and no hidden wings. Performers transform openly for “Snow White,” pinning on their wigs and whispering privately together, blurring reality and fantasy. “Our shows are an outlet for drama and emotional abandon,” says Austin McCormick, artistic director of Company XIV, which has been retelling myths, folklore and fairy tales with a provocative edge for 10 years. “This production was largely inspired by German cabaret, weaving in our signature ‘Baroque burlesque’ style,” he continues. “It’s a classic winter show, so I wanted to go darker with it.” Hand-held digital cameras follow the evil queen (founding member Laura

Careless), paparazzi style, in her quest for perfect beauty. “It contrasts our more antique influences onstage and creates a voyeuristic experience,” McCormick says.

With all Company XIV shows, the sets are minimal save for evocative pieces like a carousel horse and spiral staircase. The costumes are all gothic romance: corsets and garters, glittering pasties and leather gags. The opulence is amplified by aerial stunts, live opera, ballet and even puppetry. Off-Broadway or not, this is one of the most unique shows in the city. Like “Sleep No More” on a single ingenuous stage, it’s a bold statement on what theater arts can be in 2016.

BAM’s bewitching film fest If you go Witches’ Brew Through Feb. 29 BAM Rose Cinemas, 30 Lafayette Ave., Brooklyn BAM.org

“The Craft” COLUMBIA PICTURES

More than any other scary monster, the witch has changed throughout the ages. Once, they were deployed to oppress women who strayed from societal norms; at other times they were there to empower them against horrible men. Both sides — and many more besides — can be seen in Witches’ Brew, BAM’s sprawling and diverse

survey of the best (or at least the most guiltily entertaining) in she-beast cinema. Inspired by this weekend’s severely spooky new instant classic “The Witch,” the series goes all the way back to the nutso 1922 silent documentary “Haxan: Witchcraft Throughout the Ages,” which pairs a history lesson with some of the

craziest imagery of the period (or ever). Touching on every era since, the lineup spans from high art to deep camp. It’s surely the only series to ever pair Carl Theodor Dreyer’s austere, apocalyptic “Day of Wrath” with the cult hit “Hocus Pocus,” to say nothing of the about-to-be-remade 1996 teen romp “The Craft.” MATT PRIGGE

Best US ski resorts for the whole family

Make taking the slopes a team effort at one of these top destinations.

We’ve all heard that the family who plays together stays together. Even if a clan contains all types — from shredders to spa-lovers — the slopes can offer wintry entertainment for varying activities, skill levels and tastes. The following resorts across the country have a reputation for being especially kind to kin. Not only will kids of all ages find happiness at these spots, there’s plenty for parents to enjoy, too.

Beaver Creek Resort Where: Beaver Creek, Colorado The promise of hot chocolate on the mountaintop in the morning and a warm chocolate chip cookie break each afternoon awaits at this picturesque resort. In addition to seemingly endless entertainment options from sleigh riding to shopping to a skating rink, Beaver Creek has been recognized by the National Ski Area Association with an award for overall safety.

area is home to one of the most well-known families in the world: the Von Trapps of “Sound of Music” fame settled in Stowe after they fled Europe. The family continues to run a lodge in town, the Trapp Family Lodge, where families can enjoy miles of cross-country skiing on property, along with activities such as baking classes and yoga. Mount Mansfield lies just minutes down the road. And the famous Ben & Jerry’s factory offers tours, and tastings, in nearby Waterbury.

allows access to three resorts — Heavenly, Kirkwood and Northstar — so there’s little risk of becoming bored in Tahoe. Families especially enjoy Northstar for its tubing hill, bungee trampoline, moonlight snowshoe tours and apres-ski activities such as “build-yourown-smores” cookouts right in the village at an outdoor fire pit.

Keystone Resort Where: Keystone, Colorado While the snow fort Kidtopia — with its

tunnels and climbable exterior — will enchant the little ones, weekend fireworks, parades and mountain lightshows entertain any age at the snowy western respite of Keystone. Snow biking, snowcat tours and a horse-drawn wagon rides to dinner in a rustic cabin amp up the usual seasonal fun.

Deer Valley Where: Park City, Utah Who wouldn’t be impressed by slopes where you can ski side-by-side

with an Olympian? Live the dream at Deer Valley. Be sure to give Heidi Voelker, who will be on the premises all winter, a wave when she swishes by (or maybe ask her for tips). NASTAR onsite ski racing provides another great reason to rub elbows with the athletes.

NO ROOKIE WALL FOR PORZINGIS, EXPECT HIS NUMBERS TO JUMP FANTASY SPORTS

ADAM LEVITAN alevitan@metro.us

There are “only” two months left in the NBA season. That’s an eternity in fantasy basketball terms. Values will shift a lot over the next 60 days as Thursday’s NBA trade deadline passes. Certain teams will go into full tank mode and others go into playoff prep mode. The players making a difference in head-tohead fantasy matchups now will give way to guys coming from off the radar. Glaring examples that come to mind include Tobias Harris’ second-half eruption in 2013, Kenneth Faried in 2014 and Rudy Gobert last season. Some candidates to go off in the second half this year:

Rookie no more

The Lakers are in last place, yet coach Byron Scott removed No. 2 overall pick D’Angelo Russell from the starting lineup and played him just 27.1 minutes per game in the first half. That can’t last.

Scott’s insane treatment of Russell — which has included sharp criticism in the media — has to give way to a far bigger role down the stretch. Even Scott has said he

expects Russell to rejoin the starting five after the All-Star break. The rookie’s per-36 numbers include 16.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 2.0 treys and 1.6 steals.

Carmelo in the gallows There’s plenty of reason to believe Carmelo Anthony will miss a bunch of time down the stretch. The free-falling Knicks are now 23-32, 12th in the Eastern Conference. Melo also continues to battle seemingly chronic issues with the left knee he had surgically repaired 12 months ago. When he sat this year, Langston Galloway has averaged 30.1 minutes while Derrick Williams has filled in well off the bench by averaging 13.4 points per game. Kristaps Porzingis and Arron Afflalo also see major usage bumps whenever Anthony sits.

Free Bobby Portis If you’re not on Twitter, you might not realize there’s already a #freebobbyportis movement going on. That’s because he has nightly doubledouble upside if given the opportunity.

NBA pickups of the week Luol Deng, F, Heat Chris Bosh’s calf issue sounds serious. The Heat would be forced to lean more on Deng offensively if Bosh is done for the year. Jeff Green, F, Grizzlies Zach Randolph is the main beneficiary of the Marc Gasol injury, but Green’s role will expand sharply as well due to more minutes at the four. Al Jefferson, C, Hornets Sounds close to returning from knee scope. Even if Big Al is a shell of himself, he’ll be a solid contributor on a team that just lost Michael Kidd-Gilchrist again.

NFL news Marcus Mariota ran with the football just 2.8 times per game as a rookie, well oﬀ Cam Newton’s 8.3, Russ Wilson’s 6.4 and even Alex Smith’s 5.3. That’s a crime for someone with Mariota’s running ability. Mike Mularkey, who has oﬃcially taken over for Ken Whisenhunt, appears to understand that as he talked up more designed runs going forward. With a rising stud in Dorial GreenBeckham and a reliable workhorse in Delanie Walker, Mariota easily has a top-5 QB ceiling.

NHL power rankings | by Rich Slate No. 1

No. 6

Capitals (41-10-4)

Rangers (32-18-6)

Washington has set a new NHL mark for the best record through 55 games after Tuesday’s 3-1 win over Los Angeles. Indeed, regular-season history is well within the grasp of this very dominant group. No doubt, it’s Stanley Cup or bust in D.C.

After some subpar play, the real Rangers have seemingly returned (7-2-1 in their last 10 games). They got their top defenseman, Ryan McDonagh (7 goals, 19 assists, plus-13), back Wednesday night against the Blackhawks. They’re ready to make a run at this thing.

No. 2

No. 4

No. 7

Stars (37-15-6)

Blues (33-17-9)

Kings (33-20-3)

They might have lost, 2-1, to the Blues in overtime on Tuesday but at the moment, Dallas is back on top in the mighty Western Conference. The Stars are still 7-2-1 in their last 10 games and they have scored the most goals (188) in the NHL. Their plus-32 goal-differential is the best in the West.

If they were in the Atlantic Division or Pacific, St. Louis would be comfortably in first place. Instead, in the loaded Central, they find themselves in third behind Dallas and Chicago. Keep in mind that they pulled within five points of the Stars thanks to defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk’s OT tally.

For most of the season, the Pacific Division title looked like a foregone conclusion for the Kings. Not so much anymore as Anaheim has closed to within three points of suddenly struggling LA. The Kings wrap up an ugly road trip in St. Louis on Thursday and Nashville on Saturday.

No. 3

No. 5

GET IN THE GAME!

No. 10

’Hawks (37-18-5)

Panthers (33-18-6)

Islanders (30-19-6)

The Blackhawks are only one point behind the Stars but Dallas has played in two fewer games. Chicago dropped in the standings since it is 5-4-1 in its last 10. But the Blackhawks took out some frustration on the poor Maple Leafs on Monday, dishing out a ruthless 7-2 beating.

The biggest surprise in the NHL so far this season continues to perform well. The Panthers still lead the Atlantic Division and they have the second best goal-differential (plus-26) in the East behind the Capitals. They are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games after Monday’s 2-1 shootout win over Pittsburgh.

The Isles are only four points behind the Rangers, so that will be a nice battle down the stretch for second place in the Metro Division. New York will get another shot at Washington on Thursday as it hosts the Caps at Barclays Center. The Isles are 19-8-3 in their new digs.
