A mysterious white substance appeared on desktops at Fortanasce and Associates Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine's office building overnight, prompting hazardous-materials crews to investigate before declaring the scene safe. The substance was identified as potash bentonite, a harmless clay. Because someone broke into the building on the 600 block of W. Naomi Avenue to leave the powder, police are investigating the incident as a burglary.
