A final resting place for pets A historic cemetery will soon include a burial ground for animals

Century-old tree falls by Washington Monument

BILL O’LEARY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT By her own admission, Diane R. Johnson spoiled her first dog.

The best perks in Kirby Dennis Johnson’s life were his daily romps off-leash across the hills of Historic Congressional Cemetery each morning and night.

Since his death in July at age 12, Johnson has remained devoted to the black Labrador retriever.

Soon, Johnson will be able to have Kirby’s remains remain forever at Congressional, as the cemetery plans to open the District’s first pet burial site.

“I want him to be the first dog interred here,” Johnson said.

“There’s no place like this on Earth.”

The cemetery considers the move to offer pet burial a natural extension of a wildly popular club of 770 dogs and their 660 humans that has revived the cemetery after decades of neglect and nocturnal activity by drug users and prostitutes.

The members’ volunteerism, donations and dues support groundskeeping at the 35-acre

Diane R. Johnson and her poodle stroll through Congressional Cemetery, which will soon host a pet cemetery.

site, tucked away just a few blocks south of RFK Stadium and near the John Philip Sousa Bridge over the Anacostia River.

The cemetery will clear a third of an acre of wooded area on its eastern border, in the new Kingdom of Animals section, said Paul Williams, president of Congressional Cemetery.

Offici a ls do not h ave a firm date for opening the pet gravesite, but are aiming for late June. There will be about 300 graves, each of which will be

able to hold about 25 pets. People also will be able to memorialize their pets by having their names etched on “community columns.”

Stephen Brennwald, a volunteer cemetery board member for the past five years, said the decision to open a section for pets was “a no-brainer.”

“This place is special,” he said.

“It’s a place you meet friends. It’s a place people come to meditate and contemplate as they walk their dogs. It’s a place where people refresh their souls.”

For Johnson, Congressional was the place that introduced her to a community of dog lovers.

She now has a black poodle named Calliope, a lively 1-yearold who has helped Johnson move past the pain of losing Kirby. And before long, her first dog love will be back at Congressional awaiting her daily visits with Calliope.

“It’s the most fitting place for him,” Joh nson said of Kirby. “It was our respective happy place.” CLARENCE WILLIAMS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A mulberry tree on the grounds of the Washington Monument believed to be more than 100 years old became uprooted over the weekend because of soil oversaturated by this spring’s heavy rains, according to the National Park Service.

D.C. embassy protesters get eviction notice JASON ANDREW (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

MONTGOMERY COUNTY Montgomery County school officials acknowledged Tuesday that a football locker room at Damascus High School went unsupervised during a 25-minute period on Oct. 31 when alleged sexual assaults with a broomstick took place among teammates.

Officials also announced they are seeking a new athletic director and junior varsity football coach.

The shake-up of the storied football program at the Maryland school of about 1,300 students comes days after parents confronted elected school board members about what actions the school system was taking in response to the incident that resulted in criminal sexual assault cases.

In an email sent to the Damascus High School community, Superintendent Jack R. Smith said JV coaches arrived late to their jobs and did not follow school procedures to ensure there would be other adults directly supervising the locker room in their absence.

During that time, authorities have said, four players were sexually assaulted with a broomstick in attacks that led to charges of rape, attempted rape or both against six of their teammates.

The letter also said the football program would be under probationary review by the school

system athletics unit next season, which would bring heightened monitoring to make sure the program follows local and state rules. Damascus High’s varsity football program was on a winning streak at the time of the reported assaults and had claimed three state titles in at row.

Smith’s email came five days after the public meeting of the county’s school board. At that meeting, frustrated parents demanded answers about how Damascus staff responded to the reported assaults and when school officials contacted trained sexual assault investigators from the police department and handed off an internal review.

The Washington Post reported in March that school officials waited over 12 hours to tell police about credible allegations that at least one player had been sexually assaulted with a broomstick.

The victims and suspects were 14 or 15 years old at the time of the alleged attacks.

Smith’s email stated the school system is “taking appropriate disciplinary action” and will be seeking a new JV coaching staff and a new athletic director.

“I know this incident and the subsequent investigations have caused sadness, frustration, and anxiety in the community,” Smith wrote. DAN MORSE AND DONNA ST. GEORGE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Authorities served an eviction notice Monday to activists who have stayed for more than a month inside the Venezuelan Embassy in D.C. and asked them to leave immediately. The activists have been inside the embassy because they consider Nicolás Maduro the legitimate president of Venezuela.

Gustavo Tarre, Venezuela’s representative to the Organization of American States, said four remained inside.

United Medical Center will shutter within the next four years THE DISTRICT The D.C. Council voted Tuesday to close the District’s only public hospital within four years, ending six decades of turbulent history at the only full-service hospital in the low-income and predominantly African American neighborhoods east of the

Anacostia River.

The closure of United Medical Center, accompanied by funding restrictions that could dramatically scale back services at the hospital in its final years, was part of the $15.5 billion budget approved by the council for the next fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.

The local portion of the budget controlled by city officials will be $8.6 billion, a 9.3% increase over current spending. The remainder of the budget is federal or other

hospital in Southeast.

But as negotiations to build that replacement hospital look increasingly precarious, critics say closing UMC risks cutting off access to medical care for neighborhoods already struggling with high rates of infant mortality, gun violence and fatal drug overdoses, among other problems.

“We know at some point that there will be a new hospital, but that day is not today,” said Council member Trayon White Sr., D-Ward 8, who was born at UMC, located in his ward.

“We are making a rash decision to defund a hospital that is still in existence right now.

Kill ‘zombies,’ fight aging?

HEALTH Call them zombie cells — they refuse to die.

As they build up in your body, studies suggest, these cells promote aging and the conditions that come with it, like osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers are studying drugs that can kill zombie cells and possibly treat the problems they bring.

Basically, the goal is to fight aging itself, which hopefully will in turn delay the appearance of age-related disease and disabilities as a group, says geriatrics specialist Dr. James Kirkland of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. That’s in contrast to playing a “whack-a-mole game” of treating one disease only to see another spring up, he said.

The research has been done chiefly in mice. Earlier this year, the first test in people was published and provided some tantalizing results.

Zombie cells are actually called senescent cells. They start out normal but then encounter a stress, like damage to their DNA or viral infection. At that point, a cell can choose to die or become a zombie, basically entering a state of suspended animation.

The problem is that zombie cells release chemicals that can harm nearby normal cells. That’s where the trouble starts.

What kind of trouble? In mouse studies, drugs that eliminate

MATTHEW YOUSEFZADEH, MARIAH WITT (UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA VIA AP)

Researchers test drugs that attack cells linked to age-related diseases

This microscope photo shows two zombie — or senescent — cells above two normal ones. Zombie cells can release chemicals that harm normal cells.

zombie cells — so-called senolytics — have been shown to improve an impressive list of conditions, such as cataracts, diabetes, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, enlargement of the heart, kidney problems, clogged arteries and age-related loss of muscle.

Mouse studies have also shown a more direct tie between zombie cells and aging. When drugs targeting those cells were given to aged mice, the animals showed better walking speed, grip strength and endurance on a treadmill. Even when the treatment was applied to very old mice, the equivalent of people ages 75 to 90, it extended lifespan by an average of 36%.

Exercise (not vitamins) helps prevent dementia If you want to save your brain, focus on keeping the rest of your body well with exercise and healthy habits rather than popping vitamin pills, new guidelines for preventing dementia advise. Although age is the top risk factor, “dementia is not a natural or inevitable consequence of aging,” says the report released Tuesday by the World Health Organization. Many health conditions and behaviors affect the odds of developing it, and research suggests a third of cases are preventable, said Maria Carrillo, chief science officer of the Alzheimer’s Association, which has published similar advice. (AP)

Researchers have also shown that transplanting zombie cells into young mice basically made them act older: Their maximum walking speed slowed down, and their muscle strength and endurance decreased. Tests showed the implanted cells converted other cells to zombie status.

Kirkland and colleagues this year published the first study of a zombie-cell treatment in people. It involved 14 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a generally fatal disease that scars the lining of the lungs. Risk rises with age, and the lungs of patients show evidence of zombie cells.

In the preliminary experiment, after three weeks of treatment, patients improved on some measures of physical fitness, like walking speed. Other measures did not show improvement.

And what about giving them to healthy people who want to ward off aging? That’s possible but a long way off, after studies have established that the drugs are safe enough, said Laura Niedernhofer of the University of Minnesota. “We may not get there,” she added.

In any case, experts are impressed by the research so far.

Nir Barzilai, a researcher of aging at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, said he believes targeting zombie cells will play a role in the overall effort to delay, stop and maybe reverse aging.

So much research suggests they promote aging that “we know that it should be true,” he said. MALCOLM RITTER (AP)

CO2 levels reach highest mark in human history Over the weekend, the climate system sounded simultaneous alarms. Near the entrance to the Arctic Ocean in northwest Russia, the temperature surged to 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere eclipsed 415 parts per million for the first time in human history.

By themselves, these are just data points. But taken together with so many indicators of an altered atmosphere and rising temperatures, they blend into the unmistakable portrait of human-induced climate change.

Saturday’s steamy 84-degree reading was posted in Arkhangelsk, Russia, where the average high temperature is around 54 this time of year. The city of 350,000 people sits next to the White Sea, which feeds into the Arctic Ocean’s Barents Sea. Many locations in Russia, from the Kazakhstan border to the White Sea, set record-high temperatures last weekend, some 30 to 40 degrees above average.

Eighteen of the 19 warmest years on record for the planet have occurred since 2000.

Meanwhile, Saturday’s carbon dioxide measurement of 415 parts per million at Hawaii’s Mauna Loa Observatory is the highest in at least 800,000 years and probably over 3 million years. Carbon dioxide levels have risen by nearly 50 percent since the Industrial Revolution.

Oil pipeline hit by drones Attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure heighten tensions in the region SAUDI ARABIA An oil pipeline that runs across Saudi Arabia was hit Tuesday by drones, the Saudi energy minister said, as regional tensions flared just days after what the kingdom called an attack on two of its oil tankers in the Persian Gulf.

The pipeline that runs from the kingdom’s oil-rich Eastern Province to a Red Sea port was shut down, but Saudi Energy Minister

Khalid al-Falih vowed that the production and export of Saudi oil would not be interrupted.

The Saudis did not immediately assign blame for the drone assaults, but al-Falih named Yemeni rebel Houthis as a group that must be internationally confronted and accused them of being backed by Iran, Saudi Arabia’s regional rival.

The Houthis, who are at war with Saudi Arabia, said earlier Tuesday that they launched seven drones targeting vital Saudi installations, without elaborating. They later claimed

responsibility for the pipeline attack.

The attacks demonstrated the increased risks in a region vital to global energy supplies amid heightened tensions following the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, and the subsequent reimposition of U.S. sanctions to cripple the Iranian economy. Iran has since said it would begin enriching uranium at higher levels by July 7 if world powers fail to negotiate new terms for the deal. AYA BATRAWY AND JON GAMBRELL (AP)

with some of the debris field on land. Their altitude wasn’t immediately known.

The smaller plane, a de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver, was partially submerged in the shore of George Inlet, according to Coast Guard Lt. Brian Dykens.

The larger Otter landed in water and sank, he said.

Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board were expected to arrive after Express’ deadline Tuesday.

Canadian officials said Tuesday that a Canadian citizen was among the dead. Global Affairs Canada expressed condolences but did not identify the person due to privacy reasons.

Still, his claim of vindication covered only allegations that Russia and the Trump campaign colluded to hurt Hillary Clinton’s candidacy.

Putin did not address Mueller’s conclusion that Russia actively interfered in the U.S. election.

“However exotic the work of special counsel Mueller was, I have to say that on the whole he has had a very objective investigation and he confirmed that

fake,” Putin said as he opened the meeting with Pompeo in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.

Pompeo didn’t specifically mention election meddling in his brief reply to Putin, although he did say the Trump administration would “protect our nation’s interest.”

Earlier, though, Pompeo made clear that any repeat of the 2016 meddling would not be tolerated.

“Interference in American elections is unacceptable,” Pompeo told reporters at a news conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. “If Russia were to engage in that in 2020, it would put our relationship in an even worse place than it is. We have encouraged them not to. We wouldn’t tolerate that.”

U.S. farmers are caught in the middle of President Trump’s trade war with China.

Judge skeptical of Trump’s bid to hide records

White House explores a second bailout as the U.S.-China trade war heats up ECONOMY President Trump on Tuesday rushed to placate furious farmers and Senate Republicans about his escalating trade war with China, with lawmakers now considering a package of fresh bailout funds to quell a rebellion in agricultural states.

The fresh uproar came as farmers, lawmakers, business executives and global investors are looking to Trump for clues on how far he intends to take the trade showdown with China. On Monday, Trump suggested the standoff could last years and lead to structural changes in the global economy. On Tuesday, he offered conflicting forecasts, musing that a deal could come in the next month but also predicting a furious economic battle with Beijing.

In one Twitter post, he said he would sign off on a deal “when the time was right,” but in another post he called for using the U.S. Federal Reserve to thwart China’s economic agenda.

“In any event, China wants a deal!” Trump wrote.

Trump has alleged for years that China rips off U.S. businesses and consumers by stealing intellectual property and that it rigs its currency to flood the U.S. with cheap imports. To force the Chinese government to change its behavior, he has imposed steep tariffs on $250 billion in Chinese goods and threatened to extend those import penalties

to more than $300 billion in additional products.

China has responded in two ways, both by trying to negotiate with Trump to stop the tariffs and by imposing import penalties on U.S. exports like soybeans and other items, leading U.S. farmers to complain they are being caught in the middle of the standoff.

Senate Republicans on Tuesday were frenetically trying to deal with complaints from powerful farm groups.

Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., on Tuesday was asked by a reporter about the level of patience among farmers with the trade standoff.

He held his thumb and index finger an inch apart to demonstrate.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said the White House’s approach to helping farmers so far was “inadequate” and that more needed to be done, and soon.

Trump last year directed the U.S. Department of Agriculture to spend $12 billion on programs to help U.S. farmers impacted by the trade war, and he has suggested he will send another $15 billion to farmers this year.

But lawmakers and farm groups are confused as to how that would work, and Trump on Monday said the plan was still being “devised.”

Soybean and pork producers received much of the focus last year, but a widening range of farmers and fishermen have complained they are being

PALETTA, ERICA WERNER AND TAYLOR TELFORD

COURTS A federal judge in Washington expressed astonishment Tuesday at arguments raised by President Trump’s lawyers seeking to block his accounting firm from turning over years of financial records to the Democratic-controlled House Oversight and Reform Committee and seemed to signal a swift ruling in favor of lawmakers.

U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta fired pointed questions at the president’s lawyers, who argued in an April 22 lawsuit that the committee’s subpoena to Mazars USA for the financial records of Trump and various entities was not “a valid exercise of legislative power.”

Lead Trump attorney William S. Consovoy accused Democrats of “assuming the powers of the Department of Justice” on a partisan crusade.

At one point, Mehta observed that no Supreme Court or appellate case since 1880 “has found Congress overstepped its legislative authority by issuing a subpoena.”

The hearing Tuesday was the first courtroom confrontation in a wave of legal battles waged by the president to shield his personal finances from investigators. This lawsuit was brought by Trump and several of his businesses against House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah E. Cummings, D-Md., and Trump’s accounting firm Mazars USA. SPENCER S. HSU

House Judiciary panel sets May 21 hearing for ex-White House lawyer McGahn over Russia probe

and others.

One idea under consideration would be an expansion of bailout funds from the Commodity Credit Corp., a division of the Agriculture Department.

Trump used that program to help farmers last year. But Chinese officials signaled Monday that they planned to dramatically increase restrictions on U.S. imports, including agricultural products, in retaliation for new tariffs imposed by Trump.

Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., who chairs the agriculture appropriations subcommittee, said U.S. officials would use a type of “market facilitation payment” but also make direct purchases on behalf of the government from U.S. producers. He did not specify how much money would be directed to these initiatives, but he said some of it would be paid for with money that the Treasury Department brings in through tariffs on Chinese imports.

FACING LAWSUIT

Bartender’s family sues Tiger Woods

United far from rocky on the road Team boasts 3-1-1 record away from home ahead of three straight road games in MLS MLS When Wayne Rooney swapped Everton for D.C. United last summer, moving across the Atlantic with his wife and four children, he was briefed on the rigors of MLS travel.

The veteran forward had spent his entire career in the English Premier League, where a 350-mile trek is the longest road trip imaginable, and the idea of dealing with connecting flights, time zone changes and varying climates for regular-season matches was quite literally a foreign concept.

But as United (7-3-2) faces three straight road games in league play, including trips this week to Toronto FC (5-4-1) today and the Houston Dynamo (6-2-1) on Saturday, Rooney isn’t exactly daunted.

“I think people make a bit too much of it,” Rooney said of the travel schedu schedule. “It’s something

you have to do and there’s no complaints.”

Then he chuckled and added: “When you’re used to flying with four kids, any flight is easy without them.”

After going 1-9-7 on the road last year, D.C. is off to a 3-1-1 start away from Audi Field in 2019. In each of those road wins, which came against Orlando, Colorado and Columbus, United has managed to seize a first-half lead and fend off a late rally.

“We have the chemistry, we have a good understanding, we’ve been able to get early goals away,” midfielder Paul Arriola said. “If we can get ahead early, that’ll be the key for us.”

Depth also will be important: Coming off a 1-0 win over Sporting Kansas City on Sunday, United finds itself facing a congested stretch of three games in seven days. Coach Ben Olsen

In England, Wayne Rooney, left, never traveled more than 350 miles for a regular-season match.

figures to rotate his lineup, with reserves such as defensive midfielder Chris Durkin and winger Ulises Segura potentially earning starting assignments.

“We’ll need a bunch of bodies to get through this,” Olsen said.

“There’s only two days’ rest in between each game, which I think is ridiculous — I think it’s just silly, silly scheduling, but it is what it is and we’ll grind through it.”

While defenders Joseph Mora (jaw) and Donovan Pines (knee) remain sidelined, D.C. recently got defender-midfielder Chris McCann and midfielder Russell Canouse back from injury, and acquired left back Marquinhos Pedroso from FC Dallas. That relatively healthy contingent is

a welcome change for Olsen, who has been forced to juggle lineups and formations in recent weeks.

The club enters the road trip with momentum as well, as United sits in a tie for first place in the Eastern Conference following back-to-back wins at Audi Field.

“Behind closed doors, these were very important points to pick up,” Olsen said after the victory over Kansas City. “We understand you’re going to Toronto and you’re going to a tough environment in Houston against two of the best teams in the league right now. It’ll be tough, gh, albut I think it’s certainly a chalng lenge the group will be looking forward to.” THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS) SS)

The parents of a drunken driver who died in a car crash last year are suing Tiger Woods. They blame the golfer and his girlfriend for allowing their son to drive home from Woods’ Florida restaurant while intoxicated.

The wrongful death lawsuit filed Monday says Nicholas F. Immesberger was served excessive alcohol before the Dec. 10 car crash.

Immesberger worked at the restaurant in Jupiter that Woods owns. His girlfriend, Erica Herman, is general manager. The lawsuit says Herman recruited Immesberger as a bartender despite knowing that he was an alcoholic. It alleges that the restaurant’s employees, managers and owners allowed the 24-year-old man to drive after being overserved alcohol. (AP)

UEFA could slap Man City with 1-year ban, source says

Turkish TV says it won’t air Kanter’s upcoming games

NCAA considers loosening athlete compensation rules

Manchester City is facing a oneseason ban from the Champions League for violating financial monitoring rules, a person familiar with the case said. City released a statement Tuesday saying the club has provided “comprehensive proof” that it did not break financial regulations, but the person said UEFA financial investigators are pursuing the Champions League ban.

Key to the investigation is whether City deceived UEFA by disguising the source of revenue from sponsorship deals tied to the club’s owners in Abu Dhabi. City won the Premier League title on Sunday for the fourth time in eight years. (AP)

Turkish sports channel S Sport will not air the Western Conference finals because of Portland center Enes Kanter’s political stance.

Kanter is a vocal opponent of the country’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkish news outlets, largely controlled by the government since a failed 2016 coup, describe Turkey’s most accomplished basketball player as an enemy of the state. Kanter, 26, has criticized Erdogan’s government for its human rights record. S Sport is the NBA’s primary television outlet in Turkey, but the games will air on NBA TV International and NBA League Pass. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The NCAA is forming a working group to consider how its rules can be modified to allow college athletes to be compensated for their names, images and likenesses.

NCAA President Mark Emmert and the Board of Governors announced Tuesday that Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman will head the new federal and state legislation working group. NCAA rules forbid athletes in most circumstances from receiving benefits or compensation for their names, images and likenesses from a school or outside source. For example, college athletes cannot take part in commercial advertising or sign autographs for money. (AP)

But the panel ruled they should have received $296.8 million.

That’s slightly less than the $298.1 million the Nats were awarded in a 2014 ruling that was later thrown out. (TWP/AP) ESPN, Caesars Entertainment announce sports betting deal

Son of ‘Invincible’ WR Vince Papale secures tryout with Washington REDSKINS Vinny Papale has watched his father’s story depicted in the Mark Wahlberg movie “Invincible” about 30 times.

More than four decades after Vince Papale went from parttime bartender and substitute teacher to Eagles receiver, Vinny got invited to rookie camp tryouts with the Raiders and Redskins and is trying to make a name for himself in the league.

“I’m a little younger — he was 30,” the 22-year-old wide receiver said this weekend. “But it’s definitely cool just to have another opportunity to play at the next level.”

Papale almost didn’t get this opportunity. He broke his left leg his freshman season at Delaware and tore ligaments in his right knee the next year, so it was a battle just to get on the field.

As a senior, Papale had 36 catches for 618 yards and six touchdowns and was so good on third down that his father said the team had an expression, “Third and Vinny.”

“Those setbacks, they just ruin people, but he came back

stronger,” Vince said Monday in a phone interview. “I’m just so proud of how hard he works and the adversity he’s battled through to get there.”

Redskins President Bruce Allen’s father, George, was a mentor of longtime coach Dick Vermeil, who gave Vince his shot off a tryout in 1976.

Vince said his son wants to go into special forces if the NFL doesn’t happen. But with two tryouts down, his family is optimistic.

“I’m very confident that he’s going to get that opportu nity,” Vi nce sa id. “G od bless that person or team that gives him the shot because they won’t be disappointed.”

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK

‘Cowboy’ wrangles new styles

GETTY IMAGES/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

In search of his sequel Country singer Sam Hunt broke through with a Grammy-nominated debut record in 2014.

So why hasn’t he made a sophomore album?

MUSIC So … when exactly is Sam Hunt going to release a new album?

It’s a straightforward question, yet one that has confounded the country music industry. Hunt’s debut Grammy-nominated album, “Montevallo,” was a surprise smash in the fall of 2014. About two years later, he dropped the inescapable earworm “Body Like a Back Road,” which broke Billboard country singles chart records. Then, nothing. Another single, “Downtown’s Dead,” cracked the Top 15 on the radio charts last year. After that — crickets.

The intrigue has ramped up recently as the specifics of Hunt’s progress on his next album remain a closely guarded secret.

Ask a songwriter in Nashville about Hunt’s silence, and you’ll frequently be met with a nervous glance or a long pause — especially if they’ve been writing

songs with him, or know someone who is.

Representatives for Hunt and his label did not reply to requests for comment. The star clearly values his privacy: He has 2.2 million followers on Instagram but hasn’t posted at all since last summer.

Hunt, 34, is clearly aware that his career trajectory mystifies industry observers. (In a recent SiriusXM interview, the hosts jokingly introduced him as “the man who has just been released from witness protection.”)

“I haven’t put out a whole lot of music in the last 24 months,” Hunt told the crowd last month at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, Calif. “But I want to thank y’all for being patient.”

Hunt is far from being the first artist who broke through with a huge debut only to make fans wait years for new music

“I made it a point this year. I said …

‘I’m going to get this record done, come hell or high water.’ ” SAM HUNT, explaining his plans for his long-awaited sophomore album in an interview on SiriusXM

— think Lorde or Frank Ocean.

But it’s particularly rare in the country world, where labels typically keep artists on a more regimented schedule.

Yet RJ Curtis, executive director of the Country Radio Broadcasters, doesn’t think it’s too late for Hunt. “The intrigue and anticipation can really work for an artist,” he says.

In interviews, Hunt has

offered many reasons for why his second album is taking so long.

Perhaps most surprisingly, he has confessed that, for a while, he simply didn’t know what to write about. Much of “Montevallo” was inspired by his formerly complicated relationship with his now-wife. Once they were in a happy place, it was tough to tap into the same well of creativity.

Speaking to SiriusXM, Hunt did offer a few concrete details: He’s been focusing on songwriting since last fall and hopes to head into this recording studio this summer. He purposefully scheduled only three concerts for 2019 so he can concentrate on this plan.

“I made it a point this year,” Hunt explained. “I said, ‘Look, I’m going to play three shows and I’m going to get this record done, come hell or high water.’ ”

For a musician who rose to fame quickly, it’s natural that Mac DeMarco may feel reluctance when diving into the limelight. This reticence is palpable on his single “Nobody.”

“Another creature / Who’s lost its vision,” DeMarco sings of himself. “There’s no turning back / To nobody.” “Here Comes the Cowboy,” his album released Friday, carries a tone of melancholy mixed with hesitancy as DeMarco has one foot ahead of him and one in the past. “Choo Choo” and “Baby Bye Bye” feature a funkier DeMarco than his typical slow-jam aesthetic, while “Little Dogs March” gives more of what you’d expect. Overall, he delivers an album true to his style, yet not afraid to experiment.

The sketch comic and ‘Carol Burnett Show’ star died Tuesday at 85 1933-2019 Tim Conway, the impish second banana to Carol Burnett who won four Emmy Awards on her TV variety show, starred aboard “McHale’s Navy,” and later voiced the role of Barnacle Boy for “SpongeBob SquarePants,” died Tuesday. He was 85.

Conway died Tuesday morning in a Los Angeles care facility after a long illness, according to Howard Bragman, who heads LaBrea Media. Conway’s wife, Charlene Fusco, and a daughter, Jackie, were at his side.

A native of Ohio, Conway credited his Midwestern roots for putting him on the right path to laughs, with his deadpan expression and innocent demeanor.

“I think the Midwest is the heart of comedy in this country,

NICK UT (AP)

Tim Conway was ‘one in a million’ Tim Conway won four Emmys in the 1970s as a writer and performer on “The Carol Burnett Show.” “He’ll be in my heart forever,” Burnett said.

and a little bit of the South, too,” he told the Wisconsin State Journal in 2005. “For some reason, we’re just more laid-back, more understanding. … Midwesterners have a kinder sense of humor.”

Those qualities probably contributed to his popularity on “The Carol Burnett Show,” which he joined in 1975 after years as a frequent guest. The show aired on CBS from 1967 to 1978 and

David Letterman’s Netflix talk show to return May 31

had a stint on ABC in 1979.

Besides the four Emmys he won with Burnett, he won Emmys for guest appearances in 1996 for “Coach” and in 2008 for “30 Rock.”

Conway also had a steady movie career, appearing in such films as “The Apple Dumpling Gang” (1975), “The Shaggy D.A.” (1976), “Cannonball Run II” (1984), “Dear God” (1996) and “Air Bud: Golden Receiver” (1998).

“I’m heartbroken,” Burnett said in a statement. “He was one in a million, not only as a brilliant comedian but as a loving human being. I cherish the times we had together both on the screen and off. He’ll be in my heart forever.”

Jennifer Lawrence and fiance Cooke Maroney celebrated their engagement on Saturday with a private dinner at New York City restaurant River Cafe, Page Six reported.

The outlet reported that Lawrence wore a $2,300 long-sleeve gown from L. Wells Bridal. Lawrence and Maroney began dating last year before getting engaged in February. (EXPRESS)

A photographer filed a lawsuit Monday against Ariana Grande, claiming that she posted his photos to her Instagram page without permission, TMZ reported. Robert Barbera alleges that Grande did not pay for the images — which show her walking out of a building — or ask for his consent to use them.
