Small and bushy find a special sanctuary

nursery might soon have 100 baby squirrels. “That’s typical for this time of year,” she said during a visit last month. Born in spring and late summer, squirrels are an important part of the urban ecosystem. Wildlife conservationist and squirrel expert John Koprowski says the animals help plant trees by scattering and burying tree seeds. “Squirrels are small animals with a big role,” Koprowski said.
Seven days a week, volunteers and staff arrive as early as 6 a.m. to start long days of feeding, cleaning and more feeding. “In the wild, squirrels are up from dawn to dusk, so we try to mimic that schedule here,” Hehmeyer said. Caregivers also create opportunities for the squirrels to practice skills necessary for survival in the wild, such as making nests, foraging for nuts and figuring out how to crack and store them. The humans at City Wildlife limit their interaction with the babies so they maintain a fear of people — one of the requirements for release. After a couple of weeks in an outdoor enclosure at Second Chance Wildlife Center in Gaithersburg, Md., young squirrels return to the city for release in wooded areas. “People ask if it’s hard to see the baby squirrels go when they’re released,” said Hehmeyer, who recently moved to the World Wildlife Federation. “But I think it’s joyful to see them go through the process and know that we helped.” KITSON JAZYNKA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

New treatment system is the first of its kind in North America THE DISTRICT The next time you flush in the nation’s capital, you might consider this: You — or, more precisely, whatever you have flushed — will help generate clean energy. DC Water, which also treats sewage from much of the Maryland and Northern Virginia suburbs, recently became the first utility in North America to use a Norwegian “thermal hydrolysis” system to convert the sludge left over from treated sewage into electricity. Yes, to put it bluntly, the city’s sewage treatment plant is turning poop into power. “It’s a huge deal on so many fronts,” DC Water general manager George Hawkins said after the official unveiling of the new system Wednesday. “It’s a public utility leading the world in innovation and technology. We have private and public water companies coming from all over the world to see this.” Other utilities have generated electricity from sludge, and some — like DC Water plans to do soon — sell a byproduct of such systems as a compost-like soil mixture that can fertilize landscaping and even vegetable gardens.

Engineer Ryu Suzuki walks through the Bailey Bioenergy Facility on Wednesday in the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Wastewater Treatment Plant, officials say, is the first in North America to do so using “pressure cooker” technology that can fit such a system in the relatively tight confines of an urban treatment plant. DC Water officials say it’s the largest of its kind. Hawkins said the system, which began producing electricity in September, will provide one-third of the 157-acre plant’s electrical needs, saving about $10 million in annual power costs. (Vast amounts of water and sewage need a lot of power to move through pipes and pumps, making DC Water the city’s biggest consumer of electricity.) The utility expects to save another $2 million or so annually on treatment chemicals and
$11 million annually in trucking expenses. Previously, the plant each day produced 1,200 tons of “Class B” biosolids (the industry term for the dark gunk left over from treated sewage). That wet, smelly gunk had to be carried away in 60 truckloads every day, traveling about 75 miles to farms in Virginia. The new system produces about half as much biosolid and smells more like damp mulch. Hawkins lauded the crowd of local leaders for their support, saying they and DC Water customers had made the $470 million project possible. “One could say it’s a project generated by you, too,” Hawkins said. “I’ll let you think about that one a minute.” KATHERINE SHAVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Metro begins fare card shift
Apple allows previously rejected program that points out the cameras THE DISTRICT An app that pings drivers approaching D.C. speed cameras has gotten the green light from Apple, a week after its rejection by the tech giant was first reported. Northern Virginia developer Charles Yeh said the company emailed him out of the blue Tuesday to say his app, Speed Cameras Alert, had been reviewed and approved. By afternoon, it was available in the app store, ready to be downloaded — for free. Apple had initially rejected the app on grounds it was not legal in all of the locations where it would be available and could be used to help users break the law. A subsequent appeal to the company, Yeh says, also was rejected. D.C. Police said the database from which the app draws its data is public information, and thus the app’s contents

And tech bloggers criticized Apple’s initial decision, saying it represented an unnecessary overreach, especially given apps such as Google’s navigation app Waze — available in the app store — which allows users to plot the locations of speed cameras to warn other drivers. Yeh said

Tuesday’s email saying the app had been approved came as a surprise, said Yeh, who had begun developing an Android version of the app after Apple’s rejection. “I was pretty happy to get the news,” he said of Apple’s reversal. “It was pretty spontaneous.” As for how many had downloaded it after a much-anticipated launch? He laughed. “It’s still early.” FAIZ SIDDIQUI

RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY PRESS SERVICE VIA AP
MOSCOW Russia’s Caspian Sea fleet on Wednesday launched a complex cruise missile strike against Syrian rebels from nearly 1,000 miles away, a potent exhibition of Moscow’s firepower as it backs a government offensive in Syria’s multi-faction civil war. The bombardment was the first naval salvo of Russia’s week-old military intervention in Syria, where it has already launched more than 100 airstrikes against the Islamic State and factions of Islamist and U.S.backed rebel forces opposed to President Bashar Assad. The attack showcased Russia’s advanced military capabilities and closer coordination with the governments of Iran and Iraq, whose airspace the missiles traversed before striking targets in Syria held by ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra, an affiliate of al-Qaeda. Like Moscow, Iran is a key backer of Assad. Iraq’s leadership has close ties with Iran but also depends on support from the United States and Western allies. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said in a nationally televised briefing that the ships launched 26 cruise missiles, destroying 11 targets and killing

The West, which has launched more than 7,000 airstrikes against the Islamic State in the past year, has bristled at Moscow’s military buildup in Syria.

NUTRITION U.S. dietary guidelines have long recommended that people steer clear of whole milk, and for decades, Americans have obeyed. Whole milk sales shrunk. Purchases of low-fat dairy climbed. But research published in recent years indicates that millions might have been better off had they stuck with whole milk. Scientists who tallied diet and health records for several thousand patients over ten years found, for example, that contrary to the government advice, people who consumed more milk fat had lower incidence of heart disease. “What we have learned over the last decade is that certain foods that are high in fat seem to be beneficial,” said Marcia Otto, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Texas. This year, as the “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” undergoes one of its periodic updates, the federal bureaucrats writing them must confront what may be the most controversial question in nutrition: Does the consumption of so-called saturated fats — found in meat and dairy products

U.S. Dietary Guidelines push low-fat dairy, but it may not be healthier
For 40 years, U.S. dietary guidelines have suggested staying away from whole milk in favor of low-fat dairy. Now it may be the next line of retreat.
— contribute to heart disease? Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in the U.S., and the federal government has long blamed saturated fats. But the idea that spurning saturated fat will, by itself, make people healthier has never been fully proven, and in recent years clinical trials and large-scale observational studies have produced evidence to the contrary. This shift in understanding has led to accusations that the Dietary Guidelines harmed those people who for years avoided fats — as instructed — and loaded up on the carbohydrates in foods that were marketed as “low fat.”
The “campaign to reduce fat in the diet has had some pretty disastrous consequences,” Walter Willett, dean of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health has said. “With more fat-free products than ever, Americans got fatter.” The advocates of whole milk allow that it has more calories than its low fat cousins, and for some, that might be reason to avoid it. But the traditional case against whole milk — based on the risk of heart disease — has frayed enough now that many argue the Dietary Guidelines should yield to the new findings.

colonel” to his cohorts, whom Moldovan authorities believe to be an officer with the Russian FSB, previously known as the KGB. A middle man working for the colonel was recorded arranging the sale of bomb-grade uranium, U-235, and blueprints for a dirty bomb to a man from Sudan, according to several officials. The ringleader, the colonel, got away. His partner, who wanted to “annihilate America,” is out of prison.
NATIONAL SECURITY Experts warn that Northeast Asia could see a dangerous growth in stocks of weaponsusable plutonium — and some U.S. lawmakers say Obama administration policies could be making matters worse. Japan plans to open as early as next spring a plant that could reprocess enough spent reactor fuel to make as many as 1,000 nuclear bombs a year. The plutonium produced is for generating electricity, but Japan already has tons on hand and no use for it, with its reactors at a virtual halt following the 2011 Fukushima Dai-ichi disaster. Local politicians are aggressively backing the plant, eager for investment in a remote region. The new plant could set off alarm bells in Beijing and Seoul, which are already suspicious of Japan’s tougher national security posture. Some fear a regional fissile production race. Meanwhile, the U.S. is renewing less restrictive civil nuclear agreements with China and South Korea. Some lawmakers say that sends the wrong message. “We should not leave doors open for our partners to use U.S. technology to process spent nuclear fuel in ways that produce material that can be used as the building blocks for nuclear weapons,” Democratic Sen. Ed Markey told a Senate panel. MATTHEW PENNINGTON AND

Moldovan police officer who investigated all four cases. “As long as the smugglers think they can make big money without getting caught, they will keep doing it.” In wiretaps, videotaped arrests, photographs of bombgrade material, documents and interviews, The Associated Press found a troubling vulnerability in the anti-smuggling strategy. From the first known Moldovan case in 2010 to the most recent one in February, a pattern has emerged: Authorities pounce on suspects in the early stages of a deal, giving the ringleaders a chance to escape with their nuclear contraband — an indication that the threat from the nuclear black market in the Balkans is far from under control. Moldovan investigators can’t be sure that the suspects who fled didn’t hold on to the bulk of the nuclear materials. Nor do they know whether the groups, which are pursuing buyers who are enemies of the West, may have succeeded in selling deadly

(MOLDOVA POLICE VIA AP)
CHISINAU, MOLDOVA In the backwaters of Eastern Europe, authorities working with the FBI have interrupted four attempts in the past five years by gangs with suspected Russian connections that sought to sell radioactive material to Middle Eastern extremists. The latest known case came in February this year, when a smuggler offered a huge cache of deadly cesium — enough to contaminate several city blocks — and specifically sought a buyer from the Islamic State group. Criminal organizations, some with ties to the Russian KGB’s successor agency, are driving a thriving black market in nuclear materials in the tiny and impoverished Eastern European country of Moldova, investigators say. In the case of the cesium, investigators said the one vial they ultimately recovered was a less radioactive form of cesium than the smugglers originally had advertised, and not suitable for making a dirty bomb. The successful busts, though, were undercut by striking shortcomings: Kingpins got away, and those arrested evaded long prison sentences, sometimes quickly returning to nuclear smuggling. Moldovan police and judicial authorities shared investigative case files in an effort to spotlight how dangerous the nuclear black market has become. They say the breakdown in cooperation between Russia and the West means that it has become much harder to know whether smugglers are finding ways to move parts of Russia’s vast store of radioactive materials — an unknown quantity of which has leached into the black market. “We can expect more of these cases,” said Constantin Malic, a
nuclear material to extremists at a time when ISIS has made clear its ambition to use weapons of mass destruction. The Moldovan operations were built on a partnership between the FBI and a small team of Moldovan investigators. Wiretapped conversations repeatedly exposed plots targeting the United States, the Moldovan officials said. The most serious case began in 2011, with the investigation of a group led by a shadowy Russian named Alexandr Agheenco, “the

nation+world ENVIRONMENT The bleaching of colorful coral is spreading into a worldwide, devastating crisis, scientists say, and they predict it will get worse. Triggered by global warming and the El Nino, record hot ocean water is causing fragile coral to go white and often die, threatening reefs that are hotspots of marine life, experts say. The spread of sickly white started more than a year ago in Guam, then devastated Hawaii, infected the rest of the tropical Pacific and the Indian oceans and has now infested Florida
and the Caribbean. On Thursday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and international reef scientists pronounced it a global coral bleaching event, only the third in recorded history. “We may be looking at losing somewhere in the range of 10 to 20 percent of the coral reefs this year,” NOAA coral reef watch coordinator Mark Eakin said. He called bleaching a crisis, especially with worsening global warming forecast for the rest of the century: “If that’s not a crisis, what is?” SETH BORENSTEIN (AP)

The Redskins have the second-most rushing attempts in the NFL this season.

Backing up a big win
Time is on their side REDSKINS With the Eagles’ Chip Kelly being a notable exception, most NFL coaches consider time of possession a pivotal statistic. Through a quarter of the season, the Redskins have stuck to their run-first formula and dominated the clock. They’re first in the league in time of possession at 36 minutes 19 seconds, holding onto the ball for an average of 60.5 percent of the game. The offense has sustained drives, too, leading the NFL in drives of 10-plus plays (13) and average time of scoring drive (5:37). The Redskins have scored on nine of their 11 drives that lasted five or more minutes. The latest five-minute drive
occurred Sunday in the 23-20 win over the Eagles. The Redskins took the lead with 26 seconds left after a 15-play, 90-yard drive lasting 5:39 ended with a 4-yard touchdown catch by wide receiver Pierre Garcon. Washington held the ball for 41:08 in its second win of the season. “I believe that the longer we hold the ball the better we are,” coach Jay Gruden said. “We’re fresher on defense and then offensively we feel like we can wear people down. I think it showed in a couple of games this year. I think it showed in the St. Louis game, and I think it showed there in the fourth quarter against Philadelphia.” Washington has extended

Injury updates Receiver DeSean Jackson eased back into practice Wednesday for the first time since injuring his hamstring in the season-opening loss to Miami. It’s unclear if Jackson will be ready to suit up Sunday vs. the Falcons. Cornerback Chris Culliver and tight end Jordan Reed missed practice.

drives because of its third-down conversion rate. It’s fourth in the league in that category, converting 46.8 percent of its third-down attempts. Last year, the Redskins finished 30th in that category at 31.5 percent. On the flip side, the defense has also benefited from these long drives and played its part. The Redskins have allowed only two drives of 10 plays or more, the fewest in the league. “As long as we keep converting these third downs at a 50 percent clip, we’ll have these long drives and wear people down,” Gruden said. “That’s a big, strong belief in this offense and what we want to do in the fourth quarter, and that’s run the ball.” MASTER TESFATSION (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Up next, the Redskins face the tall task of knocking off the unbeaten Falcons on the road. Here are a few questions entering the Week 5 matchup. MIKE JONES (THE WASHINGTON POST)
3 Can Jackson return? A healthy DeSean Jackson (hamstring) would help compensate for the loss of TE Jordan Reed (concussion). Jackson isn’t a big target like Reed, but his speed is hard to match.
2 Is Cousins evolving? Kirk Cousins had his best game of the season Sunday. If the QB continues to make strides, Washington will have an answer to the year’s most pressing question.
1 Are they maturing? Players, coaches and team officials insist that a culture change has begun. The old Redskins always followed encouraging victories with embarrassing defeats. This group can’t get complacent.

FanDuel launches internal probe
Daily fantasy sports operator FanDuel said Wednesday it will permanently ban all employees from playing any daily fantasy sports for money and begin an internal probe following reports that a DraftKings employee may have unfairly had access to valuable data before winning $350,000 in a FanDu0el contest. FanDuel said it hired former U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey to evaluate its internal controls and also is creating an advisory board.

How will Holtby build off his record season? Goalie says the Capitals now have a familiarity they lacked a year ago
Blatter awaits ruling by FIFA ethics panel
The Capitals’ Braden Holtby led all NHL goalies with 73 appearances last season.
ROB CARR (GETTY IMAGES)
CAPITALS Coming off the best season of his NHL career, in which he matched franchise records with 41 wins and nine shutouts, Capitals goalie Braden Holtby is ready for an encore. “I think last year was largely based on how much better we grew as a team, and that allowed a lot of us to get better individually,” said Holtby, who led all NHL goalies with 73 appearances and finished fifth with a 2.22 goalsagainst average. “This year we’re looking for better results as a team, and usually that leads to better results individually.” Holtby believes the Capitals, heading into their second year under coach Barry Trotz, have a confidence that separates this season from past ones. “It’s night and day from last year,” he said. “In the past, there has been a long feeling-out process with new faces, new systems, new identities, but we have similar parts this year and the same mentality in the dressing room. We’re carrying on from where we left off at the end of last season and building.” Holtby finished fourth in
SOCCER
voting for the Vezina Trophy last season and signed a five-year, $30.5 million deal in July. As the undisputed No. 1, he returned to Washington with a clear mind. “This year I could take training camp and work on things a little more instead of getting too worked up for the [preseason] games and being so focused on results and trying to prove that you wanted that first home opener start.” Holtby, who will lead the team onto the home ice Saturday for the opener against New Jersey, is again likely to be among the NHL leaders in starts and appearances. Philipp Grubauer, 23, will be Holtby’s backup after cracking
an opening-night NHL roster for the first time. He signed a one-way contract in the offseason and would have had to clear waivers had he been reassigned to the AHL. “I’ve been sent down so many times in the last couple of years, it’s not a fun feeling,” said Grubauer, who has 20 NHL appearances plus an emergency postseason start last spring. “So I was working hard for that moment that I could stay and be part of the team on opening night. I have to still work hard to stay here the whole year, but it feels awesome right now.” BEN RABY (FOR EXPRESS)

Sepp Blatter could be facing a 90-day suspension. The FIFA president’s future was being determined by the governing body’s ethics committee at meetings in Zurich, with Blatter at risk of being suspended after a criminal case was opened against him. Blatter associate Klaus Stoehlker, who has no role at FIFA, told The Associated Press and other media outlets that the ethics committee’s adjudicatory chamber recommended a 90-day suspension for the sport’s most powerful official. “Blatter has heard that from several sources,” Stoehlker said. “He has not got any message from the committee ... and he is perfectly under control. He is going to the office tomorrow.” Blatter’s lawyer, Richard Cullen, said the president “has not been notified of any action taken by the FIFA ethics committee.” (AP)
Rendon: ‘I’m not gonna change’ offseason plans NATIONALS When asked Sunday which position he’d prefer to play after bouncing around the infield in 2015, Anthony Rendon gave the same answer he had all season. “I just wanna play,” he said. After he missed half of 2015 to multiple injuries, playing at all becomes the most important part of Rendon’s future. “I’m gonna count on Rendon,” Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said Sunday. ” He’s [25] years old. He’s fifth in the MVP voting in 2014. He’s a great player. He’s a guy you have to count on.” Rendon had ankle surgery while playing at Rice. This season, he banged his left knee diving for a ball in spring training and sprained his MCL. Just when he was nearing a return, he strained his oblique and was sidelined again until June. He played 18 games, then hit the disabled list again with a strained quad. Rendon, who hit .287 with 21 homers in 2014, finished this season with a .264 average and five homers in 80 games. After injuries plagued Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman in 2014, they reworked their offseason plans — and had mixed results this year. When Rendon heads home to Houston, he won’t overhaul his workouts. “I’m not gonna change anything. Go back in the offseason, do the same stuff I always do,” Rendon said. “Come the spring, have my same routine and take it from there.” CHELSEA JANES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The lineup for this year’s All Things Go Fall Classic features more up-andcomers than last year’s inaugural event, which boasted recognizable names like Baltimore buzz band Future Islands and Swedish synth-pop singer Tove Lo at the top of its bill. Here’s a tip sheet to four of the must-see artists at Union Market’s electronic music festival this weekend. DEAN ESSNER (FOR EXPRESS)
Union Market, 1309 Fifth St. NE; Sat., noon–11 p.m., $60-$80.
Kygo
Baio
Penguin Prison
The Knocks

6:15 p.m.
7:30 p.m.
Like fellow producer Diplo, Kygo doesn’t sing, often taking a back seat to such vocalists as Will Heard and Ella Henderson. But his songs have a common thread: a dreamy, upbeat electronic sound. The results are in last year’s big hit, “Firestone,” and remixes for such high-profile acts as Coldplay and The Weeknd.
Chris Baio (aka Baio) may be dedicating the bulk of his time to creating slick pop tunes like “Sister of Pearl,” but it’s not his main job. Baio is better known as the bass player in Vampire Weekend, which is currently on hiatus following the group’s 2013 album “Modern Vampires of the City.”
As Penguin Prison, Chris Glover makes bouncy piano pop you can dance to — last year’s “Calling Out” sounds like a Billy Joel song updated for 2015 pop radio. Glover has remixed tracks from radio staples Ellie Goulding and Imagine Dragons and toured as an opener for Girl Talk, so he knows how to throw a dance party.
Similar to Kygo, New York-based electro duo The Knocks don’t really sing. Instead, they get help from artists like Powers (which plays the festival at 3 p.m.) on the Daft Punk-indebted disco dance track “Dreaming.” Recently, the song was remixed with vocals from modern radio conquistador Fetty Wap.

weekendpass How does it feel to have the album out there? It feels good. It’s been awhile in the making and everybody’s hard work is being, let’s say, exposed, and ideally paying off. Interesting word choice. I just mean it’s literally being exposed. All our work is being unleashed and exposed, and I think it’s awesome. Can you listen to the album with clear ears now? I actually haven’t heard it in a bit. But I probably can listen to it with clearer ears. The vinyl just came in, so maybe I will listen to it on the vinyl. There’s something so casual about your writing and singing. Where does that come from? It’s a natural thing. I can just tap into that and then there’s also plenty of music that I’m influenced by: good spoken-word, anyone from Lou Reed to Bob Dylan to Leonard Cohen. These days, I feel like I often know what the delivery is going to be when I write the lyrics.

Kurt Vile Philadelphia rocker Kurt Vile has a way with words — specifically, how he sings them. “It’s all about delivery,” says Vile, 35. His style is so casual that while listening to his new record, “b’lieve i’m goin down…,” you almost feel like he’s having a conversation with you. He cracks jokes. He gets deep. He makes words rhyme that shouldn’t. “You can make any word next to the other rhyme if you deliver it the right way,” he says. “It’s weird but it’s true.” See for yourself Thursday at the 9:30 Club.

It’s all my personality. It just depends. We’ve all been sad, we’ve all been funny.
KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY FILM RIFFS
Do you feel like you’re playing a character in your songs? No, it’s me. I have a lot of personas but it’s all me, they’re all extensions of me. Can it be a persona and not be a character? Sure. I would say I’m not a character. I’m me. It’s a lot of swagger. I can tap into different swaggers. You jumped around to different cities and studios to make this record. How did that compare to the last one? It didn’t compare that much because I did the same thing on [2013’s “Wakin on a Pretty Daze”] and [2011’s “Smoke Ring for My Halo”], but we jumped around even more. On my next record I’m going to attempt to stay in Philly a lot more. Staying in one place sounds cool, but for whatever reason I bounced around a lot.
Your lyrics are funny but also melancholy. Do you try to balance the two? No, I think I feel the way I feel at the time. Maybe the songs that accumulated on this record are more melancholy. It’s my theory and my belief and my style that if a song is feeling sad — I’m not saying you shouldn’t make it completely sad because I appreciate that music too — but for me, I just think that if it gets too intense, a little too whiny, you just toss off a pretty sardonic joke or something.
Do you record at home anymore? I used to always record at home. I have a music space close to my house — we got most of [the new song] “I’m an Outlaw” recorded in that space in Philly — but I have been thinking about recording back at home again. I think those will be my most natural laid-back recordings. Just to be in the comfort of my own home with my family in a laid-back way: to have a tape machine in the corner, and some nice vintage mics and a little piano that sounds great in my middle room. I feel like I might be able to get my best stuff ever.

Can they get you something to drink? FIRST BITES The kitchen at Pepita Cantina, the recently opened offering from Mike Isabella, is small. The bar, however, stocks more than 100 tequilas and mezcals. Liquids are the focus at the spirited eatery just around the corner from Isabella’s smoothsailing Kapnos Taverna in Arlington’s Ballston neighborhood. Part of that is explained by the size of the place, which has fewer than 40 inside seats. And part of that has to do with Isabella’s partner in Pepita, Taha Ismail, also the beverage director for all of the top chef’s restaurants. “Where’s the food?” a friend asks as he fumbles with the four-ply paper menu, most of which is devoted to punch, tiki drinks, juleps and nearly 30 classic cocktails, from Aviation to Vieux Carre. “We didn’t want to be known just for margaritas,” was Isabella’s later explanation. My posse is sitting on a chartreuse-colored banquette in an airy dining room with amber lights and what looks like a giant flower painted on the wall. Outside are double the number of seats on a pleasant patio. A bowl of spiced corn nuts and pumpkin seeds precedes our cocktails, each a study in balance and priced as though we’re

Several drinks, gathered under the heading “Industry Friends,” show off the talents of his peers from around the country. Some of the small plates prove modest pleasures, such as a tuna seviche with creamy avocado and coconut milk, and pinto beans braised in beer and topped with white cheese.

DISH OF THE WEEK
Patriot poutine $7, Small Fry, 3212 Georgia Ave. NW
Montrealers will notice a few things off about Small Fry’s poutine, a dish born in Montreal composed of french fries, gravy and cheese curds. To start, Small Fry uses Armenian string cheese in place of the signature curds. And the gravy is runnier than the more familiar, roux-based brown stuff. “We put a few twists on it to give it our touch,” says Ali Bagheri, who owns Small Fry as well as Sundevich. The just-opened fry shack also serves other international classics such as Scotch eggs and fried halloumi cheese. HOLLEY SIMMONS (EXPRESS)

Meanwhile, a torta stuffed with lamb, refried beans and queso bore no relation to the supreme sandwiches sold in the city at G by Mike Isabella.

These collections aren’t collecting dust As a Swiss museum closes for renovations, some of its masterpieces head to D.C. CANCEL YOUR TRIP TO SWITZERLAND. While the Kunstmuseum Basel is closed for renovations, some of the Swiss museum’s best art is
coming to D.C. Starting on Saturday, The Phillips Collection will present “Gauguin to Picasso: Masterworks from Switzerland — The Staechelin & Im Obersteg Collections,” an exhibition that combines works from the two collections for the first time in the U.S. Successful businessmen in early-20th-century Basel, Rudolf Staechelin and Karl Im Obersteg were friends who shared a love of art, says Dorothy Kosinski, Phillips Collection director and the show’s co-curator. “Like Duncan Phillips [founder of the Phillips Collection], they were part of a wave of industrialists who became enthusiastic about European modernism, impressionism and postimpressionism.” Here are some highlights from the more than 60 works included in the touring collections.

‘Nafea Faa Ipoipo’ (‘When Will You Marry?’)
‘The Absinthe Drinker’
Paul Gauguin
Pablo Picasso
Probably the most famous work in the Staechelin collection, Gauguin’s painting of two Tahitian women is representative of the French artist’s obsession with romanticizing life on an island suffering under French colonialism. Gauguin fell in love with Tahiti when he visited in 1891 and later moved there to escape the hardships of European life — leaving his wife and five children behind. Staechelin bought the painting 14 years after Gauguin’s death in 1903. (Unable to sell many paintings, Gauguin lived in poverty for most of his life.) “Nafea Faa Ipoipo” will soon have a new home: Last February, an unnamed Qatari buyer paid the Rudolf Staechelin Family Trust $300 million for the painting.
This painting, from the cusp of the artist’s so-called Blue Period, is in the Im Obersteg collection. Picasso painted a whole series of people, mostly women, sitting alone at Parisian bars drinking absinthe, one of the most popular drinks at the time. This particular piece is unusual in that there’s a second painting on the back of the canvas, a portrait of a woman at a theater. The impoverished 20-year-old Picasso likely painted on both sides of the canvas to save money. The painting will be displayed in the middle of the gallery so that both sides are viewable.

Even though their collections boast big names like Cezanne, Renoir and Van Gogh, Staechelin and Im Obersteg also liked to buy works by lesser-known Swiss artists. Staechelin was particularly fond of Hodler. The eldest of six, Hodler lost both his parents and all of his siblings to tuberculosis, instilling in him a kind of obsession with mortality. This particular painting is among a series of his partner, Valentine Gode-Darel, dying of cancer. Kosinski, who lists the powerful portraits among her favorites in the exhibition, will give a lecture on Hodler at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the museum.
1911
Self-portrait Alexej von Jawlensky
While Staechelin worked with art dealers to build his collection, Im Obersteg took a less formal approach, befriending talented artists and buying their work to help support them. One of them was Jawlensky, a Russian-born artist who met Im Obersteg after being kicked out of wartime Germany. “Im Obersteg and Jawlensky had a very personal kind of relationship,” Kosinski says. “Jawlensky spent time in exile in Switzerland during World War I, and their correspondence shows what a lifeline Im Obersteg’s patronage was for the artist and his wife.”

Who the heck are … Dan + Shay?
COUNTRY MUSIC HAS SEEN SOME MAJOR CHANGES in the past few years, but when you listen to Dan + Shay,
you would think it always sounded this way. Not quite country, not quite rock, not quite pop, the duo’s 2014 debut album “Where It All Began” is equal parts quintessential country and a sound all their own. Dan Smyers, right, and Shay Mooney, far right, met in Nashville in 2012. Smyers, 28, was raised in Pennsylvania and studied finance at Carnegie Mellon University; Mooney, 23, grew up in Arkansas and was previously signed as a solo artist to T-Pain’s Nappy Boy Entertainment label. After two years of nonstop shows, Dan + Shay are following up “Where It All Began” with a tour that stops in Silver Spring on Sunday (with opener Kelsea Ballerini). SAMANTHA DEAN (EXPRESS)
Where it actually all began
A little bit country …
Same album, different tour
When Smyers and Mooney decided to pursue careers in music, they knew Nashville was the place to be. “I started trying to write [country music], which at first was a struggle, but then I moved to Nashville and learned the ropes,” Smyers says. He met Mooney at a house party there and the two began writing together. Within a few months, they had a single on the radio, the summery “19 You + Me.” That song was nominated for duo video of the year at the 2014 CMT Music Awards. The past two years, the pair has been up for vocal duo of the year at the ACM Awards.
Smyers and Mooney base their music in country’s roots, but they’ve expanded on the genre with poppier melodies — think Taylor Swift when she still had twang — and rock-fueled tempos. You won’t hear much about Chevys with lift kits in their songs, but you’ll find the familiar themes of chasing girls and drinking beers on the weekend. “We were just writing the songs that we wanted to write, and they came out in this cool style,” Smyers says. If you’re a fan of Florida Georgia Line but crave a less bro-y approach, this duo is for you.
When the pair rolled through D.C. last year, they played the 9:30 Club in support of “Where It All Began.” Fans who saw that show can expect a different experience this time. Aside from ramped-up lighting and equipment, Smyers says “we’re playing a few songs on the album that we didn’t get to play on the first go-round,” including fan requests submitted online. “We’ve been touring on this album for two years,” he adds, “so we’re going to go out with a bang and come out with new music for the new year,” some of which they’re previewing on tour.

WHAT IS IT?
By day, Six Flags offers a festive autumn look and assorted inoffensive Halloween stock characters. Once night falls, the park turns into a symphony of creepy, with haunted houses and trails, multiple “scare zones” and lights-out rides.
In this immersive, 45-minute performance, you’re part of a six-person team charged with finding a chemical weapon that will destroy every zombie in the world, thus saving humanity. Armed with Nerf guns and foam darts, you’ll search a zombie-infested building for clues, solve puzzles and make the occasional tough moral decision.
No nightmare is overlooked in this high-octane haunt that includes two separate houses: a slaughterhouse, and a Victorian mansion where an exorcism is taking place. There are more than 20,000 square feet to wander, unguided, and it takes about 40 minutes.
AS SCARY AS …
That time you watched “The Ring” and, when you were done, the phone rang.
Contemplating the genocide of a hostile alien species.
SAMPLE FRIGHT
One of the haunted houses is called “Spider Outbreak.” OH NO WHAT IS THAT ON YOUR LEG?!
WILL THERE BE TOUCHING?
NO |
YES (BUT MAKE A RESERVATION)
YOU BET |
YES
MAYBE |
NOPE
Four to 12 people are locked in one of six themed rooms. To find the key that allows them to escape, they have to crack codes, answer riddles and solve puzzles. And they have to do it within an hour.
Located on an isolated farm outside of Poolesville, Md., outdoor-education nonprofit Calleva’s annual fund-raiser features three trails — “The Woods,” “The Hollow” and “The Town” — that wind through the grounds. This year’s theme is biohazard outbreak. “Some virus has been released, mutating everyone,” Calleva marketing director Tom Doi says.
Volunteers and museum staff dim the lights, put on creepy costumes and festoon the museum’s Cold War Gallery with cobwebs, severed limbs and other spooky props. For the first three hours, the scare factor is toned down for young children, who get to make crafts. But after 7:30 p.m., “all bets are off,” museum spokeswoman Shejal Pulivarti says.
Let’s put it this way: It makes “Saw” look like an episode of “Bob the Builder.”
Having to work with your friends to solve a mystery.
That recurring nightmare where you’re giving a speech naked. To zombies.
The Cuban missile crisis.
In some areas, you have to carefully tiptoe around so as not to rouse “nesters,” dormant zombies that fill rooms with sinister fog.
Scream City plants actors in the houses who pretend to be guests. At any time, one of them may be snatched by a meat-cleaver-wielding man covered in blood.
You may have to do some math. The horror!
A maniac in a clown mask suddenly appears and chases you with a chainsaw. “We really want to work on hitting that inner terror factor,” Doi says.
A blood-covered doctor sawing through a leg, which turns out to belong to a zombie who then chases you through the halls.
“Our ghouls will not touch our guests,” says Debbie Evans, director of marketing for Six Flags America. “We ask that the guests not touch the ghouls as well.”
Yes. You’ll wear a white shirt to record the number of zombies who have touched you with their “blood”smeared hands. Three smears, and you’re a zombie.
Not intentionally. “Things do happen,” Scream City head of production Mike Lado says. “Even without it, you feel like it’s going to happen. It freaks people out.”
Depends on how huggy your friends are. There are no Escape Room employees with you.
Yes, and all participants must sign a waiver saying they understand that.
Yes, but only in the later part of the evening.
PRODUCTION VALUE
Each of the scarers goes through “ghoul school,” part of which is dedicated to teaching them how to scare guests, and the makeup artists are all pros. Prepare to suspend disbelief.
Pretty realistic. To travel to the final location, you’ll ride in an anti-zombie SWAT team van. “We didn’t want to go outside and have people calling the police on our actors,” “DC Dead” founder Vaughn Irving says.
Lado and his team spent months planning and building the Hollywood-caliber set. Actors undergo “science of scare” training, wherein they learn the psychology of fear and how to apply it.
The rooms are probably nicer than your actual house.
Impressive. Even if you know that you’re never truly in danger, the moment a fanged creature jumps out from around the corner and grabs you on the shoulder, you’ll panic.
Surprisingly good. The autopsy station “had adults screaming last year,” Pulivarti says.
STAY HOME IF YOU …
Prefer to eat funnel cake without an ax murderer coming for you.
Hate metaphors. Last year’s show was a commentary on gentrification. This year is about “chemical weapons and the morality of war,” Irving says.
Feel faint when you nick yourself shaving. Scream City is as gory as it gets, with pools of blood all over the floor and nearly every actor drenched in it.
Hated group projects in high school. And college. And in your current job.
Have ever been lost in the woods, or ever want to spend time in a forest at night again.
Have outstanding warrants. To get into the Navy Yard, you’ll need to go to the security gate at 11th and O streets SE with your driver’s license or passport, and the guards there will run a quick background check.

LOTTE BOWIE
Sipping on the sauce of the bay The wide open spaces of Maryland’s Eastern Shore are ideal for farms, so when the growing season is over, it makes sense that Marylanders love to take grains and grapes and turn them into something they can appreciate year-round. Distilleries, breweries and wineries are prevalent across the region, and harvest season is the perfect time to tour some of the Eastern Shore’s best booze producers. You can even bring a liquid memento of your trip home with you.
booze is its dark rum, made from a mixture of molasses and cane sugar. The honey-colored spirit gets its hue from homemade caramel, which adds a deep, sweet, smoky flavor. “It turns down the grassiness of the cane sugar and pulls up the molasses notes,” Windon says. With cool weather approaching, it’s fantastic as a base for eggnog or mixed with warm apple cider. H.S.
ON THE COVER Wineries are growing like vines on the Eastern Shore. One of the newest, Crow Vineyard and Winery, has been a family-owned farm for three generations and began growing grapes and bottling New World-style wines five years ago. Swing by for a tour of the winery, then head to the tasting room to sip wines made from the vineyard’s own grapes. Crow’s 2012 Barbera Reserve is a full-bodied red with flavors of black cherry,caramel and cinnamon. The 2013 Vidal Blanc is a crisp white that suggests pineapple and white cranberries. The Crows also use the Vidal blanc grapes to make a sparkling Vidal and a dessert wine. If you want to make a weekend of it, stay at the renovated 1847 farm house that’s now the vineyard’s bed and breakfast. This fall, a visit to Crow will be made extra adorable by the presence of new calves on the farm. “We’ve calved 15 and we have another 17 to go,” says co-owner Judy Crow, who raises a herd of 90 Black Angus cattle for beef. “Just having the babies around is always fun.” B.M.

Lyon Distilling Co. Nestled between a brewery and a winery, this two-person distillery completes what locals affectionately call St. Michaels’s trifecta of booze. Founded by Jaime Windon and Ben Lyon in an old flour mill in 2013, Lyon Distilling Co. produces craft rum, rye whiskey and corn whiskey. “It’s just the two of us making everything by hand,” says Windon, who is also the president of the Maryland Distillers Guild.

BLACKWATER DISTILLING
Crow Vineyard and Winery
Blackwater Distilling That vodka and rum you’re sipping on from Kent Island’s Blackwater Distilling? It’s made using the same water that surrounds this sharkfin-shaped fleck of land off the Eastern Shore. “I think it resonates with people to see our process and know where our ingredients come from,” says Jon Cook, co-founder and chief operating officer of the family-run distillery. Blackwater also produces Sloop Betty Honey, a vodka blended with honey collected on the island. In production since 2011, the Sloop Betty vodka line is made from gluten-free wheat berries, which
lend the spirit a tinge of vanilla. In late October, Blackwater will start selling kits that allow you to infuse your own spirits with cloves, cinnamon sticks, local apples and ginger for an apple pie-like flavor. Tours of the 5,000-square-foot facility, during which you learn the science of fermentation, distilling and aging, cost $5 and are held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. H.S.

RAR Brewing When RAR Brewing co-owner Chris Brohawn was a kid, his grandma would take him to an old pool hall in Cambridge, Md., for some quality time. “I remember spending afternoons in there with my grandmother playing pinball and smashing 50-cent hot dogs,” Brohawn says. “That place was awesome.” In 2013, when Brohawn and business partner J.T. Merryweather were searching for a home for their brewery, Brohawn found himself back inside that pool hall, which was vacant and in need of serious TLC. That August, after major renovations, RAR (an abbreviation for the brewery’s clunkier full name, ReAleRevival) opened its doors. “We both love this town and saw a ton of potential in the downtown area,” says Brohawn, a former electrician. “We honestly didn’t even talk about doing this elsewhere. It was always Cambridge.” The sleepy small town might not be the most obvious stop on the way to the Eastern Shore, but RAR is helping put Cambridge on the map. The brewery is growing rapidly — they recently bought a building around the corner to house a canning line — and in two years, RAR has made almost 20 different beers, many of which have found their way into D.C. bars. (The brewery started distributing in the city earlier this year.) Just last month, RAR canned its first beer: Nanticoke Nectar, a juicy and bitter West Coaststyle India Pale Ale. You can almost always find the brewery’s flagship offering and

best-seller on tap at the brewpub, along with such standards as Bucktown Brown Ale, the Belgian blonde Bottom Feeder and a hefeweizen, Groove City, that Brohawn plans to can next. (RAR is in the process of experimenting with barrel-aged and sour beers.) The brewpub itself is an open space with a laid-back vibe and a view of the brewing tanks. (RAR doesn’t offer tours of the brewery, but Brohawn is planning to add them in the near future.) Food is prepped behind the bar and the menu features casual pub fare like hot dogs — a nod to the former pool hall — and tater tots smothered in cheese and meat. A custom-built shuffleboard table hosts league play on Tuesdays, and there’s usually free music on the weekends. “Cambridge is a great town with a lot to offer,” Brohawn says. “We just hope one day we can give [this town] as much as they’ve given us.” R.G.

Whatever the feather In autumn, raptors, gulls and waterfowl lure bird-watchers to the Eastern Shore For hundreds of thousands of birds each fall, Maryland’s Eastern Shore is like a highway travel plaza: A crucial place to stop, refuel and reorient. That’s why, when the summer tourists head home, bird lovers flock to the state’s tidal marshes, pine forests and coastal islands. “The Delmarva peninsula is smack-dab in the middle of the Atlantic flyway, and it acts as a giant funnel, concentrating birds together as they follow the coastline south,” says Jim Rapp,
who organizes twice-yearly Delmarva birding weekends. Some of the first migrants to make their way down the peninsula are the warblers, which string their songs through the forest canopy. Then come the hawks, silently surfing on thermals as they head down the coast. The geese, ducks and swans arrive last and stay until spring, filling the salt marshes with a sociable din of honks, quacks and beating wings. We asked local birders to share
their favorite places to watch the annual avian parade.
Turkey Point at Elk Neck State Park 4395 Turkey Point Road, North East, Md.
When they reach this little peninsula at the top of the Chesapeake Bay, migrating hawks have a decision to make: Will they follow the western shore toward Annapolis or head east toward Easton, Md.? “They wheel around in the sky because they don’t want to cross the river, so we get perfect views of these birds and how beautiful they are,” says Pat Valdata, a bird-watcher who
lives in Elkton, Md. Eventually, the birds decide: “They usually end up going in the direction of the prevailing wind.” PRIME SPOTS: Walk down the lighthouse trail toward the peninsula’s point for wide-open sky, ideal for hawk-watching. WHEN TO GO: Valdata and her fellow volunteers at the Cecil Bird Club’s annual Hawk Watch count birds at Turkey Point every morning during the fall from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and they’re happy to have novice birders tag along, Valdata says. WHAT YOU’LL SEE: Raptors, raptors everywhere. Around 2,000 hawks pass through each year, including
PAUL SUTHERLAND (VIA GETTY IMAGES)
red-shouldered hawks on their way to their cold-weather homes in Virginia, and golden eagles, which come down from Canada for the winter. WHERE TO EAT: Local produce reigns supreme at the Fair Hill Inn, which sits on 1.5 acres of land largely given over to vegetable and herb gardens. Raptor favorites like rabbit and duck often land on the menu in the fall. 3370 Singerly Road, Elkton, Md. WHERE TO ROOST: Keep the birding going at Elk Forge Bed and Breakfast Inn. The resort and day spa is located on five acres of forest threaded with nature trails. 807 Elk Mills Road, Elkton, Md.

fallgetaways Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge
Opposite: Snow geese, Chen caerulescens, lifting off over a pond. This page: Mute swans and some tundra swans at Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge, Md.
This marsh-rimmed island features acres of grain fields, which visiting waterfowl munch on all winter long. “Eastern Neck is home to 250 different species of birds — shore birds, ducks and, of course, lots and lots of swans,” local birder Gren Whitman says. PRIME SPOTS: Amble down the boardwalk overlooking the marsh and listen for the unmistakable sound of hundreds of honking tundra swans. The graceful, white birds spend their summers in the Arctic Circle. WHEN TO GO: Starting Nov. 7, Whitman will lead five monthly, earlymorning walks at the wildlife refuge. He’ll take bird-watchers to southern parts of the island that are usually off-limits to the public. To register, email easternneckwalks@gmail.com. WHERE TO EAT: You probably won’t see Osprey Point restaurant’s namesake bird this fall — ospreys head south in late summer. So enjoy a dinner that would make the fish hawk jealous, like the rockfish or pan-seared salmon. 20786 Rock Hall Ave., Rock Hall, Md. WHERE TO ROOST: Get a room
that overlooks the harbor at The Black Duck Inn, and fall asleep surrounded by tasteful waterfowl-themed artwork. 21096 Chesapeake Ave., Rock Hall, Md.
Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge 2145 Key Wallace Drive, Cambridge, Md.
Sometimes called the “Everglades of the North,” this massive refuge encompasses 28,000 acres of hardwood and pine forest edged with tidal and freshwater marsh. During the fall, thousands of snow geese descend on the refuge, local bird-watcher Vincent DeSanctis says. “It looks like a sea of white flowers, there are so many birds,” he says. PRIME SPOTS: The Marsh Edge Trail runs alongside two rivers and has a boardwalk that juts into the marsh. It’s a great place to spot seasonal water birds as well as year-round residents,

bald eagles among them. WHEN TO GO: Blackwater plays host to many species of duck, including the striking harlequin duck and the elusive American black duck. Your best chance of spotting these shy birds is on one of the refuge’s guided bird walks. The next scheduled walks leave from the visitor center on Oct. 25 and Nov. 29, at 8 a.m. WHERE TO EAT: It’s easy to work up an appetite while looking at savory waterfowl. Luckily, you don’t have to drive far to get to the University Restaurant in Cambridge, Md., which serves pan-seared duck in the fall. 1042 Hudson Road, Cambridge, Md. WHERE TO ROOST: Bird-watchers are in good company at the bucolic Black Walnut Point Inn on Tilghman Island. The bed and breakfast sits on a 58-acre wildlife sanctuary that’s full of migrating warblers and songbirds in early fall. Later in the season, the waters around the 19th-century estate are filled with “hundreds
“There are herring gulls and ringbilled gulls and laughing gulls, but there’s no such thing as a seagull.” VINCENT DESANCTIS, an Eastern Shore birder, on proper gull nomenclature

of ducks,” co-owner Bob Zuber says. 4417 Black Walnut Point Road, Tilghman, Md.
Ocean City, Md. Bad weather makes for good bird-watching in this popular beach town. Storms off the coast can blow in all sorts of migrants who’d otherwise stick to open ocean. For instance, you might see a northern gannet, an enormous seabird with a 5-foot wingspan, dive into the ocean from 130 feet in the air and come up with a fish, DeSanctis says. PRIME SPOTS: Since most of the other surfaces are covered in boardwalk, sand and concrete, birds congregate at a 2/3-acre patch of green known as Sunset Park. More than 160 different species have been counted there, including many, many different types of gull. “Just don’t call them seagulls,” DeSanctis says. “There are herring gulls and ring-billed gulls and laughing gulls, but there’s no such thing
as a seagull.” Another hotspot, Skimmer Island, is a fine place to see stilt-legged shorebirds like willets and plovers. WHEN TO GO: Beginning in November, you’re more likely to see visiting ducks such as the bufflehead, a petite bird with an oversized noggin. WHERE TO EAT: Bundle up and birdwatch with a beer in hand from the bayside deck at M.R. Ducks Bar and Grille, open through the end of October. House specialties include Maryland rockfish and crab cakes. 311 Talbot St., Ocean City, Md. WHERE TO ROOST: Check out the historic Chanceford Hall Bed and Breakfast, in Snow Hill, Md., where owners Doug and Fran Wight are happy to put out coffee and muffins for early-rising bird-watchers. The historic inn also provides a great launching point for birding in Assateague and Pocomoke River state parks.

And Italian native Christopher Columbus will make an appearance to tell visitors about his journeys. 104 Railroad Ave., St. Michaels, Md.; Oct. 10, noon-6 p.m., $25 for adults, free for kids; 410-745-0345, simpaticostmichaels.com/ pages/news.php.
EASTON, MD.
Academy Craft Show
Waterfowl Festival 40 S. Harrison St., Easton, Md.; Nov. 13-15, $15, children under 12 are free; 410-822-4567, waterfowlfestival.org
Maryland’s Eastern Shore is a prime location for bird-watching (see our story on page S6), so it makes sense that the Eastern Shore town of Easton has an entire festival dedicated to everything waterfowl. During the three-day event, artists display paintings, sculptures and carvings of ducks, geese and other feathered friends. Falconers, fly fishers and carvers show off their skills. A popular bird-calling contest draws some of the best callers in the world; the five categories include Team Goose, Live Goose and Live Duck, as well as juniors and seniors events. There’s even a competition for canines: DockDogs challenges pooches to race down a dock and jump into a pool of water. Dogs can win by jumping either the farthest or the highest. Visit the tasting pavilion for regional wines, beers, cheese and sweets — $10 buys adults a glass for booze-sampling. There are also packaged foods and drinks available to take home.

Oktoberfest
14 South Main St., Berlin, Md.; Oct. 17, noon-6 p.m.;
Matthew Hillier is the featured artist at this year’s Waterfowl Festival.
EASTON, MD.
BERLIN, MD.
If your town is named “Berlin,” there’s one fall holiday you just have to celebrate: Oktoberfest. At the one in Berlin, Md., you can dance to polka music in your best lederhosen — really, there’s a Bavarian-wear costume contest — and sample German-style beer from local brewery and taproom Burley Oak Brewing Company. You’ll also find German treats like brats, pretzels and strudel.
Both local and national artists exhibit at this juried show in Easton. This year’s theme is glass (and the festival is titled, appropriately, Blown Away). In addition to seeing stained glass mosaics, works in neon and elaborate vases, you can watch glass-blowers practice their craft.
COURTESY WATERFOWL FESTIVAL
Billing itself as “a celebration of family, community and oysters,” the Rock Hall FallFest brings music to the town’s main street. It’s a free event with two different stages for music, 50 craft booths, kids’ activities and — what else? — lots of oysters, whether you like to eat them fried, in stew or slurped raw from the shell.
This Salisbury festival is dedicated to all things fermented and sudsy, and offers about 100 craft beers from around the country. Master brewers give talks on how they practice their craft. A beer garden pours samples from Eastern Shore brewers, including Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Evolution Craft Brewing Company and Burley Oak Brewing Company. A ticket ($35 for one day, $60 for two days) gets you unlimited tastings, or you can pay $10 to skip the beer and soberly partake of 12 live bands; the Sports Zone, where you can watch the weekend’s big games; and food vendors serving Eastern Shore favorites such as chimney cakes, oyster fritter sandwiches and salt water taffy.
Academy Art Museum, 106 South St., Easton, Md., and the Waterfowl Building, 40 S. Harrison St., Easton, Md.; Oct. 17, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. & Oct. 18, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., $12; 410-8222787, academycraftshow.org. SALISBURY, MD.
Autumn Wine Festival
The fall wine festival in Salisbury, Md., has featured pours from more than 20 Maryland wineries, including its oldest, Boordy Vineyards. Wine tastings are included in the price of a tasting ticket ($35-$60), and you can also buy wines by the glass or bottle. There are crafts from local artists, as well as live music and food. Pemberton Historical Park, 5561 Plantation Lane, Salisbury, Md.; Oct. 17-18, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., $10-$60; autumnwinefestival.org. MARION STATION, MD.
Fall Pau-Wau
At the 22nd annual Fall Pau-Wau in Bending Water Park, you can see Native American dancing and storytelling, as well as demonstrations of traditional toolmaking and survival skills. You can also buy native crafts and sample food like oyster sandwiches and buffalo burgers. Bending Water Park, 28325 Farm Market Road, Marion Station, Md.; Oct. 17-18, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., $4; 410-6232660, indianwatertrails.com/ pauwau.html.

During a four-song, 50-minute set at the Rock and Roll Hotel in June, Ryley Walker played just one track from March’s “Primrose Green,” his fantastic second album. Instead, the Chicago guitarist chose to dedicate most of the performance to full-band improvisations. An expressive vocalist, Walker’s music touches on Van Morrison, the Grateful Dead and English folk singer Michael Chapman, who shares the bill here.

Mac DeMarco
Mac DeMarco is perhaps the most unlikely indie-rock star to sweep the festival circuit. DeMarco wears dirty ballcaps. He is the living, breathing definition of normcore. He’s either a bro, or a brilliant Andy Kaufman-esque extended joke. Either way, the kids have loved him since the release of his album “2” and their ranks have only grown since “Salad Days” dropped last year. Howard Theatre, 620 T St. NW; Wed., 8 p.m., sold out.

Stacie Andree (Ellen Page) addresses the freeholders in “Freeheld.”
LIONSGATE
Meryl does the math on inequality
‘Freeheld’ adds up the unfair cost of their love Ellen Page sees her film as a small love story with great implications FILM Laurel Hester lied a lot when she introduced Stacie Andree. Andree was her friend sometimes, her roommate other times. The couple kept up a platonic facade so as not to interfere with Hester’s long career as a police officer. The cost seemed small: Andree skipped office parties and they made sure the backyard fence was high enough so the neighbors couldn’t see them holding hands. Little compromises, little annoyances. Those small things — not grand conflicts — are the cost of the
closet, says Ellen Page, who plays Andree in “Freeheld,” out Friday. “I’ve existed in closeted relationships, and I know what it’s like and it’s painful,” says Page, who came out as a lesbian in 2014. “In my experience it’s not, like, ‘Come out now!’ ‘No, I can’t!’ It’s not this constant fight. There’s this compromise that they’re both making that does affect their love and their ability to express that love.” For Andree and Hester (played by Julianne Moore), the closet was forced open. Diagnosed in 2005 with terminal lung cancer, Hester asked that her pension be given to Andree, who was by then her legal domestic partner. She was denied multiple times by county officials in New Jersey,
known as freeholders. Pensions could only be granted to married couples; domestic partnerships didn’t count. Hester’s case became a national flashpoint for the gay rights movement, which at the time was operating mostly on a state-by-state level. While “Freeheld” has a strong political message, Page says that’s not what drew her to the project, which she also produced. “Of course it has [political] elements,” Page says. “They did something so crucial and important in a time of complete and utter difficulty and sadness. It is one of those movies you hope people will see and be moved. But, for me, it’s first and foremost a love story.”
Meryl Streep told reporters at the British Film Institute’s London Film Festival that she found a new way to measure gender inequality in Hollywood: the film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. “Of those allowed to rate on the Tomatometer, there are 168 women,” she said. “And I thought, that’s absolutely fantastic. If there were 168 men, it would be balanced. … Actually there are 760 men who weigh in on the Tomatometer. … If the Tomatometer is slided so completely to one set of tastes, that drives box office in the U.S., absolutely.” (EXPRESS)
The Middleburg Film Festival, which begins Oct. 22, announced Wednesday it will open with “Spotlight,” about the Boston Globe’s investigation of sexual abuse among Catholic priests.

Judge won’t dismiss Cosby molestation suit A judge on Wednesday refused to throw out a lawsuit filed by a woman who accuses Bill Cosby of molesting her at the Playboy mansion, saying he can still receive a fair trial despite procedural errors. Cosby’s attorneys argued that Judy Huth’s previous attorney improperly included Cosby’s name, which violated rules for older sexabuse cases. Cosby is scheduled to be deposed Friday. (AP) MUSIC

‘He Named Me Malala’ seeks the normal teen behind the activist FILM Malala Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize. She addressed the United Nations. She appeared on “The Daily Show.” She has a crush on a cricket player named Shahid Afridi. Guess which one she doesn’t
want to talk about? In one of the most charming moments of the documentary “He Named Me Malala,” out Friday, director Davis Guggenheim tries to pin Yousafzai, 18, down on why she’s so into Afridi. She evades and blushes. “That’s no different than my daughter,” says Guggenheim, who won an Oscar for 2006’s “An Inconvenient Truth.” “When I ask what boys in school she likes,

she’ll wiggle out of the question.” Yousafzai achieved fame when she spoke out against the Taliban in her native Pakistan. Her activism led to her being shot in the head in 2012; she recovered and now lives in Britain, though she travels the world advocating for
Pop, country singer Billy Joe Royal died Tuesday at 73, agent confirms
the rights of women and girls. That’s the story everyone knows, but not the one Guggenheim was trying to tell. “I think people know Malala because she was a girl who was shot on her school bus. And she doesn’t want to be seen that way;
that’s a victim’s story,” Guggenheim says. “You have to dismantle that, you have to go deeper. Even the people who love her think she’s this larger-than-life superhero or saint, and I think what’s important is to see her as a normal girl, an ordinary girl.” Telling that more intimate tale took 18 months of off-and-on filming that captured both big moments in Yousafzai’s life (speaking at the U.N.) and small ones (arm wrestling with her brothers). Even so, Guggenheim had to be OK with not getting some information — like why, exactly, Yousafzai also has a fondness for Brad Pitt. Some stories are best left untold. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

blog log “How about making pies, breads, and everything else pumpkin with FRESH pumpkin. So easy to do and it tastes better.” MARIE PACHECO, commenter at Huffington Post, on news that there may be a shortage of the pumpkin pie filling this Thanksgiving. Illinois farmers are blaming record July rainfall for ruining the pumpkin crop, which could be off by as much as a third this year.
“Just had to tell the cashier lady to piss off when she offered me a bag for my sandwich” @FICTITIOUSR is not happy about the newly implemented charge for plastic bags in Britain. This week the government began charging 5 pence — roughly 8 cents, so a bit more than District residents pay — for plastic bags at most grocery stores and retailers. It’s meant to help reduce pollution and waste. If their tweets are any indication, Londoners are mostly displeased with the new charge.
VICTORIA’S SECRET
54 | EXPRESS | 10.08.2015 | THURSDAY
“Yet another reason I (along with MANY others) will never shop from you guys…” LAUREN BERSAGLIO, a commenter at facebook.com, is disappointed by a terrible Photoshop job done by lingerie company Victoria’s Secret on one of its models. In the photo, a model stands with her back to the camera, donning a pair of the brand’s “cheeky” underwear. Her thigh and butt have clearly been edited, leaving them asymmetrical.
“A very sad day for lovers of good coffee.” HEWHOIS reacts to coffee chain Peet’s acquisition of Stumptown Coffee Roasters. Aficionados were unhappy to learn that the indie darling of the coffee world had been bought by one of the big chains. But Stumptown has promised it will continue to operate independently.
“We expect better from the guy who’s tearing apart the Republican party mainly for the LOLs.” MARGARET HARTMANN, at nymag.com,
reacts to a Donald Trump prank that fell flat Monday. Trump sent a care package to GOP rival Marco Rubio’s office with 24 bottles of Trump Ice Natural Spring Water, two Make America Great Again towels and bumper stickers, along with this note: “Since you’re always sweating, we thought you could use some water. Enjoy!”

DIFFICULT
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You’re in no mood to go about routine business in a mindless fashion. Try to invest something new into each activity. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’re thinking of someone else, but you have something important of your own to tend to, as well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’re trying to convince others of the importance of the work you’re doing, but someone isn’t buying it. Try harder! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It may be time for you to travel along your current path by yourself for a while. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ve misinterpreted what someone said, and the results are proving quite dangerous. Rethink, reassess and revise your plan. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll discover a hidden opportunity that, in fact, has been in plain view for quite some time. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’re trying to pick up the pace with something tied around your feet! You must first extricate yourself from this dead weight. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are
eager to get back to what you do best, but you’re going to have to wait one or two more days. Put urgent thoughts on paper.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may have to make very clear to someone in authority just what it is you plan to do before you take a single step in any new direction.
TODAY: No need to belabor the point — this is going to be a great day! With high pressure in firm control, skies will be partly to mostly sunny as highs head for the mid-70s. Winds will be light and variable in direction. Skies will turn partly cloudy tonight with temperatures probably slightly warmer than Wednesday.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Someone may be standing in your way. Although this is likely unintentional, it is still something you must deal with immediately. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’re not making a lot of sense to someone who hasn’t been in the loop for a while. You must take time to get him or her back up to speed.

New mom gets back to the salt mines E! News has reported that Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford are parents. A source told the site that Mulligan “has given birth to a healthy and happy baby.” This is the first child for both. Neither has commented on Mulligan’s pregnancy since the news became public in April. Mulligan gave birth sometime last month, and appeared on the red carpet at the British Film Institute’s London Film Festival on Wednesday. (EXPRESS)
Tom Hank’s tweet worked: A woman named Lauren who lost her Fordham student ID has been found. The Oscar winner tweeted a photo of the card on Tuesday after finding it in a park but covered up the woman’s last name with his finger. WCBS-TV says it located Lauren Whitmore, a senior at the New York City university, on Tuesday. She told the station she doesn’t have a Twitter account but that one of her professors sent her a link to Twitter and said, “You’re famous.” Whitmore says she was jogging in Central Park Monday when the card must have fallen out. She says if Hanks wants to return it she’ll “surely meet him to do that.” (AP)

Famous kids these days 20th Century Fox is investigating whether actors took American Indian artifacts while filming “Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials” at a New Mexico ranch. While on “Live with Kelly and Michael” last month, star Dylan O’Brien said cast members took artifacts from the ranch. “They were very strict about littering and don’t take any artifacts like rocks, skulls,” O’Brien said. “And everyone just takes stuff, you know, obviously.” (AP)

Ashley Benson’s Instagram page was flooded with angry comments after she posted a photo of herself dressed as Cecil the lion, who was killed by an American dentist in July. “Help! Can’t decide on my Halloween costume this year!” she captioned the photo. “What do you guys think of this Cecil the lion costume?” After plenty of fan criticism, Benson deleted the reference to Cecil.
