Former vice president under Hugo Chávez Nicolás Maduro was elected president of Venezuela Sunday night, but the former U.S. ambassador to Venezuela didn’t hint at any congratulations during a talk on campus Monday. It is no coincidence that former ambassador Patrick Duddy’s talk carried weight and relevance in light of current events, and the diplomat spoke about renewing relations with Venezuela. In 2008, Venezuela broke off official diplomatic relations with the U.S. Duddy spoke Monday about problems surrounding the election held Sunday in Venezuela. Maduro considered himself Chávez’s “hand-picked” successor, and he ran against Henrique Capriles Radonski of the opposition party. According to the National Electoral Council in Venezuela, Maduro is the president-elect with 50.66 percent of the vote, while Capriles received 49.07 percent. Capriles demanded a recount Monday because Chavistas, followers of Chávez’s socialist ideology, control the election board in Venezuela, and election results were within a 1 percent margin. The opposition is now demanding a recount. “Given Capriles’ track record, the results of the election are questionable,” Duddy said. “However, this doesn’t mean that the results are in fact wrong.”

tuesday

lost the election to Chávez by 10.8 percent. Maduro’s approval ratings were up by 10 to 14 percent in the polls until last week, but Capriles revamped his campaign, Duddy said.

“Maduro had a rather unusual campaign,” Duddy said. “He claimed that he was the true son of Chávez.” Maduro said the late Chávez visited him in the form of a small bird and that he was somehow related to the president. Duddy said these eccentric statements had the opposite effect on his campaign than he had intended. Duddy said he met with Chávez and Maduro during his tenure as ambassador and that Maduro worked his way up the political chain from his occupation as a bus driver. “Maduro didn’t just arrive from the bus station,” Duddy said. “He worked his way up the legislature.” Though Chávez defeated Capriles last October, it became clear after the announcement of Chávez’s death that Capriles would run again, according to Duddy. Joscelin Diaz, a Ph.D. candidate in biological and agricultural engineering, is a student from Venezuela who said she doesn’t support the Chavista agenda. She said she was relieved when she found out about Chávez’s death. “I’m really hoping that everything will change and get better now,” Diaz said. Ignacio Xavier Domínguez La Salvia, a Ph.D. candidate in computer science, said life in Venezuela is hard on everyone regardless of socio-economic status and that he thinks the Chavista socialist agenda is flawed.

Students in Boston survive bombing Jeniece Jamison Sports Editor

At least three people died Monday as two explosions rocked downtown Boston at the 117th running of the Boston Marathon. An unnamed White House official told the Associated Press Monday night the attack is being treated as an act of terrorism. At 2:50 p.m., about 4 hours after the race began, two bombs went off near the finish line. As of press time, the blasts had killed three and injured 144, 17 critically, according to the AP. One of the confirmed dead was an 8-year-old boy. The images of the explosions, including a runner who lost both of his legs as a result of the blasts, dominated the airwaves throughout the afternoon and evening. According to CNN, at least 10 people lost their limbs in the incident. Three N.C. State students were among the nearly 27,000 runners who participated in the marathon.

Tensions in the Korean Peninsula: ‘Business as usual’ South Korean students and alumni take no alarm to North Korean threats.

After three weeks of threats directed toward South Korea and the United States, North Korea is not backing down from its bellicose rhetoric. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry finished his Asian tour to Seoul and Tokyo to meet with leaders from South Korea, Japan and China to negotiate with North Korea, call-

ing leaders from Pyongyang to rekindle talks about nuclear disarming that foundered four years ago. As the international community has reacted to North Korea’s multiple threats calling for nuclear attacks against the U.S. and South Korea, many South Koreans and American expatriates call the threats “business as usual.” “To be honest, it’s not that big of a deal,” Leslie Alvarez, a 2012

Students remember Ian Peterson, donate bone marrow for leukemia Liz Moomey Staff Writer

Ian Peterson worked four jobs on top of his commitments as president of the a capella group Grains of Time and, of course, being a student at N. C. State. Ian’s friends and family are making efforts to see that his work ethic lives on. Peterson’s mother, along with Be The Match Registry, Campus Enterprises and Shelten Media, partnered to raise awareness and get students to sign up for the Bone Marrow Registration Drive in the Brickyard Monday. Cindy Peterson said she wanted the drive to take place because her son would have wanted it. Many students were quick to help. “My son was an activator. He wasn’t a sit-around-onhis-butt kind of kid.” Cindy Peterson said. “He would be so upset if we didn’t take the momentum from his life and move it forward.” Many students who knew about Ian’s battle with leukemia said his struggle pushed them to sign up to become bone marrow donors. Grains of Time members Brooks Jordan, a freshman in genetics, and Justin Maceney, a freshman in engineering, were among them. “It really touched home for us because it is a personal matter now,” Jordan said. “He was our brother and our family.” Betsie Letterle, a member of bone-marrow donation service Be The Match Registry, said she hopes the death of Ian Peterson will bring to

light the need of bone marrow donors. “I think with Ian passing, it certainly raised awareness with the students that had no knowledge of [bone marrow donation],” Letterle said. “It’s a great way for them to engage and take the next step in honoring him and help other patients.” Elizabeth Wayne, a senior in human biology, went to high school with Ian. She said she is happy to have the opportunity to save someone’s

life. “I would be excited that I would be able to help someone,” Wayne said. “I would want someone to do that for me or someone that I cared about.” There are many misconceptions associated with donor registration, Letterle said. “Most people are afraid of it because they have seen television shows or movies that portray donation as painful, when in essence it truly isn’t,” Letterle said.

Jordan said he was apprehensive, but he knew it would pay off. “I used to think it was a bigger deal, but apparently it’s gotten [less painful] so that they can take it from stem cells,” Jordan said. Shelli Dallacqua, president and founder of Shelton Media, Ian Peterson’s employer, said if she had the opportunity to become a bone marrow donor she would. “If someone had told me that, if you pay $100, you could donate your bone marrow and save Ian, I would have done it immediately,” Dallacqua said. She is not in the age range to be a donor — between 18 and 44 years old. The bone marrow registry costs $100, but Letterle raised the money for the drive. Letterle wanted to avoid the cost issue that sometimes pushes people away from registry. Cindy Peterson mentioned a student at North Carolina Central University that was in need of a bone marrow match. “We would just love to see another kid’s life saved, so that parents don’t have to go through what we have gone through,” Cindy Peterson said. Cindy Peterson said she wants her son’s memory to be survived by continued bonemarrow donation awareness and the establishment of a scholarship under his name.

and is the largest single-site employer west of Charlotte. Under Hicks’ leadership, the economy of the Cherokee has grown significantly. The Eastern Band of Cherokee has partnered with private companies to finance a fiber-optic system for western North Carolina to help recruit more businesses to the area. It has also partnered with Southwestern Community College in Sylva, N.C. to structure the project. One of Hicks’ largest plans is to improve education and social services in the area. His plans include bringing more skilled individuals, such as doctors, nurses and engineers to the area to stimulate even more growth. “Growing up, I never had any intent of becoming chief,” Hicks said. “I wanted to use my education to help the tribe, and it just so happened my expertise was what the tribe needed.” Hicks discussed his faith extensively as it related to leadership. “You are put into certain positions for certain reasons by faith,” Hicks said, “and only the good Lord above knows best.” Arianna Nasser, a junior in engineering, was pleased with the committee’s choice this year, and felt Hicks well represented the values of North Carolinians. “Chief Hicks is an eloquent and charismatic speaker and represents his community well. He speaks to the strength of North Carolina’s communities and its dedication to education,” Nasser said.

A lesson from the counseling center: Dealing with end-of-year stress Brittany Bynum Staff Title

It is that time of year again. Students are preparing for summer, studying for finals and completing final projects — barely. The University Counseling Center experiences its peak usage near the end of semester, but there is an answer for students experiencing stress. Ronnie Margolin, clinical psychologist from the Counseling Center, said overstressed students often either neglect their work or become overwhelmed by it. “It’s com mon to feel ‘burned out’ or ‘stressed out’ this time of year,” Margolin said. “For example, you might feel fatigued, irritable, anxious or even apathetic.” However, most students do not burn out in an instant. Stress is often cumulative, and students may feel progressively worse as the school year pushes forward. Stress becomes problematic

when it impedes function, Margolin said. Students who blankly stare at their computer screen, become hostile, anxious or depressed may be suffering from prolonged school stress. Students struggling with mental health problems are particularly susceptible to end-of-year stress. It is important for these students to maintain counseling and psychiatric medication. “The Counseling Center is always busy, but we are busier than ever just before the end of the school year.” Margolin said. “We often do see an increase in intakes and crisisrelated appointments.” To avoid additional stress, it is important to practice good self-care and manage time and energy effectively. Resilience depends on a number of variables, including pre-existing physical and mental health problems, quality of relationships, available support, skills at selfmanagement and even intelli-

gence, according to Margolin. For many students, the Counseling Center is the best answer. The Counseling Center offers individual counseling as well as several drop-in group programs that require no registration at all. Topics include academic success strategies, stress management and meditation, in addition to one-on-one psychotherapy. Staying current on course work typically equates to less anxiety, but that isn’t easy for all students. A great way to manage is by breaking big tasks into smaller ones and rewarding yourself with little breaks, according to Margolin. Maintaining an ongoing personal schedule —waking up around the same time every day, eating nutritious food, exercising, relaxing and having a regular bedtime — is especially important.

Oil accounts for 95 percent of Venezuela’s exports and 50 percent of the government’s revenue, according to Duddy. “The greatest damage in Chávez’s 14-year reign was the division created amongst the people,” Domínguez said. Domínguez and Diaz said that the people in Venezuela are living in constant fear of becoming a victim of a crime — a growing problem in the country — and said “the odds

are against Venezuela.” Basic products are hard to find, utilities seldom work and the government controls everything, Domínguez said. Local and international investments, as well as private businesses, have been “scared away.”

alumna in communication, said. Alvarez now teaches English in South Korea. “No one really feels the pressure here, especially the foreigners. I’ve signed up for the U.S. embassy here in Seoul just in case, but that was more for my family’s worries.” Hoon Seok Kim, an alumnus in engineering and a South Korean citizen, said South Koreans are concerned about the threats, but aren’t interpreting them as seriously as international diplomats are. “North Korea has always threatened us, so we think this is a similar [situation],” Kim said. “The only difference is the level of provoking. This provoking is the highest level they’d ever done.” Kim said South Koreans are tired of the frequent provocations from the North, and said these recent threats — as recent as Tuesday morning in the Koreas — are ways for Kim Jong Un to prove himself as a leader. Un, the young 29-year-old heir of the late Kim Jong Il, has distanced himself further from the Chinese government, North Korea’s single and estranged ally, since he has been in power. “Kim Jong Un really wants to show that he is qualified enough for being [like a] powerful king

just like his father or grandfather,” Kim said. “He has studied in Switzerland, so many North Koreans have been suspicious about his ideology for governing the country. People thought he is much weaker than previous leaders like Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung.” The tensions may be provoking diplomats and military leaders to mobilize and call for more stringent sanctions and talks, but South Koreans aren’t heading the battle call. Contrarily, many South Koreans feel disappointed about deepened divisions with North Korea, according to Grace Lee, a Korean-American 2012 graduate in biological sciences. “I think [South Koreans] just feel sorry for the North Korean people,” Lee said. “Not so much for the leaders, but the people. We consider them our people. Basically we just want our leaders to calm down so we can get our country back together.”

For now, North Korea is not calming down, though the international community continues to pressure Pyongyang. “North Korea must take meaningful steps to show that it will honor commitments it has already made, and it has to observe laws and the norms of international behavior,” Kerry said in a speech in Japan Monday. In his speech, Kerry referred to the “Pacific dream,” a term that he said implies East Asian countries, especially China, are progressing toward “unprecedented security, economic and social cooperation.” The only thing standing in its way, Kerry said, is North Korea. But that, Lee and Alvarez said, isn’t news.

ast week, President Barack Obama released his proposed budget to Congress. In this budget, the U.S. Department of Education would see a 4.6 percent increase in funding, and the maximum funding for Pell Grants would increase by $140 to $5,785. With all that has taken place recently — especially the proposed $139 million in cuts to the UNC System — education could use a break. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. These grants target students from low-income families who have not earned a bachelors or professional degree. In Obama’s budget, these grants will also target minorities. We appreciate Obama’s continued focus on the Pell Grant program. Since taking office in 2008, Obama has helped increase the maximum Pell Grant rate by $905. The number of Pell Grant recipients has increased by 50 percent.

Our relationship began in 2008 duri ng t he Beijing Megan Olympics Ellisor when I Deputy Viewpoint Editor w a s 1 3 and shallow. I affectionately called him “the U.S.,” and I was so proud of his Olympic medals and World War Championship rings that I failed to see all of his personality faults. That is, until my good friend Howard Friedman pointed out how spoiled and conceited the U.S. is in his book, The Measure of a Nation. I could go on about the flaws of the U.S. for pages, but for now I’d like to focus on his healthcare system. The U.S. spends excessively on healthcare — an estimated $650 billion more than what is expected for a country with our cost of living, according to a 2008 report from the McKinsey Global Institute. But for what benefit? In regards to healthcare, it only makes sense to live in the U.S. if you are a doctor, a nurse or a cancer patient. Doctors and nurses earn considerably more in the U.S. than in comparable countries, according to Friedman. And despite the fact that there is a higher incidence of cancer in the U.S. than in Europe, there is a lower cancer mortality rate according to a study pub-

lished in Health Affairs. However, the U.S. falls short with a life expectancy of 77.9 years, while the Japanese enjoy the longest life expectancy of 82.7 years. Though there are extreme genetic differences between Americans and the Japanese, Friedman explains that “genetic differences are not sufficient to explain America’s lagging performance versus competitor countries with more similar gene pools — among them Australia, Italy, France and Spain.” Part of the reason for the comparatively low life expectancy is that a great number of Americans are uninsured and therefore do not ma ke routine v isit s to see physicians. Therefore, t he u n i nsured make about twice as many visits to the emergency room as Americans with health insurance. There is no doubt that the exorbitant cost of healthcare is the reason so many people elect not to buy health insurance. “Since 1999, health insurance premiums have increased 131 percent for employers, while employee spending for health insurance coverage increased 128 percent between 1999 and 2008,” Friedman said. But emergency room visits often end up costing more than regular visits to physicians. So health insurance costs too much and ER visits cost too much. In other words, there is no escaping the greediness of the U.S. The U.S. and I are no longer friends. Sometimes I catch myself missing him,� but then I remember I can get all of his greatness and none of his drama from Switzerland.

a college education grows, so does its price. Since the 1980s, the average price in tuition has tripled. Seventy-two percent of college graduates owe more than $25,000 in student loans, according to U.S. News. The media outlet also reported that “many borrowers take on debt levels that far exceed the reality of future starting salaries.” Does it not make sense to increase financial help? According to the White House website, only half of low-income high school graduates go to college, and only 25 percent of this group finish.

But the program has also had its nervewracking moments the past few years. Though Congress declared it safe from cuts during the fiscal cliff fiasco, the program is set to lose part of its mandatory funding on Sept. 30 of this year. This is why we hope Obama’s budget is put into action. Under current law, the federal government funds about $30 billion in Pell Grants. This is excellent, but as college becomes more and more of a necessity, low-income students will continue to need assistance. And as the need for

Obama set a lofty goal of restoring the U.S. to the top of the list in college graduates per capita (we are currently 16th). It’s great to see that he is actively taking steps to get us there. Our only hope is that North Carolina’s own education system follows suit. Education is the bedrock of any society, and North Carolina is home to several of the best universities in the country. This is an attractive factor to out-of-state students (which means more tuition-based revenue), and we should not ruin what we have. We’ve said it so many times before, but we’ll say it again: Further cuts to the education system are not the way to improve our economy. We applaud the Obama administration for its emphasis on America’s education system, and we implore our own General Assembly to act similarly. If we can’t count on our own state to make education affordable, it seems like our only ally is the White House.

Of the dead, nothing spoken unless good

hen someone like former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher dies, we should remember the maxim “De mortuis nihil nisi bonum.” However, this Latin phrase, which is widely beZiyi Mai Staff Columnist lieved to mean “of the dead, nothing spoken unless good,” is probably incorrectly interpreted. It’s far more important that we not speak anything untrue. Unfortunately, �crowds took to the streets, not mourning, but celebrating Lady Thatcher’s death in London and other major British cities. According to Daily Mail, left wing crowds — swigging beer and champagne — gathered to show their delight at the news with offensive chants and banners. As the night went on, the drunken revelries spawned violence in the streets, and six police officers were injured. It appears Britons aren’t as civilized as they used to be. Ill opinion can be entertained, but we should never celebrate a person’s death in any circumstance — no matter how hated that person was. I believe that Ronald Reagan, Lady

Thatcher’s political ally and longtime friend, had no fewer enemies in the U.S. than Thatcher had in Britain. But when Reagan passed away in 2004, few people in America took to the streets to celebrate. The people who celebrated Thatcher’s death not only hate her, but have also fabricated stories to deride her record as prime minster. Union workers abandoned her because they were told she destroyed the unions’ power. But in fact, her reforms empowered union members rather than union leaders. She saw unions as a powerful force misused by leaders to secure privileges rather than protect workers’ rights. Prev ious Conser vative and Labour Party governments had tried and failed to bring unions under the law. The U.K.’s strike record, the worst in Europe, weighed heavily on British society, and the Thatcher reforms gave union members the right to vote for leaders in secret postal ballots and the right to be balloted ahead of possible strike action. These changes resulted in more moderate union leadership and greatly reduced industrial unrest. Another myth that union workers in Northern England fabricated is that Thatcher destroyed Britain’s manufacturing base. But the data show otherwise. When Thatcher left office, U.K. manufacturing output was 7.5 percent higher than when she began. It did decline as a proportion

of the total economy, but only because other sectors — especially services and finance — expanded more rapidly as the economy changed. This trend also happened in other advanced economies. It is true that three major industries — shipbuilding, steel and coal — declined as they became unable to compete with other countries. But other industries, such as advanced manufacturing, expanded. Lady Thatcher was dubbed the “Iron Lady” for her persistent belief that Britain needed a free market under the rule of law. The public is more likely to misunderstand leaders like Thatcher, portraying them as relentlessly cold-blooded and not caring for the poor at all. But this is not because these leaders didn’t care for the poor personally. Instead, Thatcher and Reagan downplayed the idea of using state power to transfer wealth from the rich to the poor. They understood that helping the poor by asking the rich for more doesn’t create wealth. Thatcher knew she would face strong criticism by pushing her idea to the front, and she expected people to condemn her.

Moonshiners distill the Carolina spirit Jeremy Norris, owner and distiller of Broadslab Distillery, uses an American pot-type still, one of few still used on a commercial scale. According to Norris, the pot still helps the spirit “retain more flavor and character” than the more often used European-type still.

Kettle: The kettle holds the fermented mash as it heats for six hours to 190 degrees. At this point the ethanol in the mash begins to boil off into the cap.

Cap: The ethanol vapors rise out of the kettle and collect in the cap where they continue to the doubling keg.

Doubling Keg: The doubling keg, or doubler, filters impurities and unconcentrated ethanol out of the ethanol vapors, purifying the liquor.

Condenser: The ethanol vapors collect in the condenser which is made of small tubes surrounded by cold water. This cools the ethanol vapors into a liquid, which is then collected in a spirit safe for storage. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY CHRIS RUPERT

Although Discovery Channel’s Moonshiners attempts to showcase the reality of moonshine distilling in areas such as Johnston County, many viewers know the show’s producers have taken a few liberties. However, few of them have as much knowledge to differentiate fact from fiction as Jeremy Norris, the distiller and owner of Broadslab Distillery in Benson. “Some of [what’s shown in Moonshiners] is correct, but

some of it is bull****,” Norris said. Although the show doesn’t get everything correct in its portrayal of the distilling of moonshine, the spirit has a long history in North Carolina. Norris’ family and his distillery, which he opened almost two years ago, can attest to that. And while he is hesitant to declare that North Carolina is the moonshine capital of the world, he said the state—Johnston Country in particular—has a fairly strong claim for the title. “At one time, pretty much everyone had ties to [distill-

ing moonshine] somehow,” ing the stuff at ABC stores, Norris said. “And if you look bars and restaurants is no at the arrest records, the longer uncommon. busts and the “My size of the granddaddy [busts], there made liquor are probably and my more here great-greatthan in anygranddaddy where else.” actually Wit h t he lived right popularity of here on the Moonshiners fa r m, a nd Sagan Lampe, a senior in praising the he made lieconomics growing culquor before tural awareprohibition, ness of the liquor, “moon- when it was actually legal,” shine” and distilling may be Norris said. “They would reaching a renaissance.

in barrels and load it up on wagons to Cape Fear River and export it.” Norris has papers documenting the purchase of the land his distillery now sits on by his ancestors in the late 1700s, before the Revolutionary War. Although his family eventually sold the land, Norris bought the land back in 2004 and said he searched for a way to make a profit from the 150 acres. Turning to his family’s history of distilling to find the answer, Norris said he found he enjoyed the challenge from the distilling business.

Raleigh personalities spin a local yarn Kaitlin Montgomery Staff Writer

With the coveted ownership of Sir Walter Raleigh’s plumed hat hanging in the balance, storytellers and talespinners competed in the Raleigh Public Record’s second annual Oak City Bard Brawl. The Record’s 2012 event raised money for the online newspaper’s book section featuring North Carolina authors and books. “We didn’t have a whole lot of expectations last year because it was the first time doing it,” said Charles Duncan Pardo, Record editor and N.C. State alumnus. “We’ve gotten really positive feedback, and it’s something we’re happy to be able to do — especially if people are really enjoying it.” This year, at Kings Barcade on April 9, the money raised went to the Record’s additional funds used to pay freelance reporters. “This is going directly to supporting our everyday news operations, which are all funded by donations and by grants,” Duncan Pardo said. “We are a 501(c)(3) news organization . . . . Our freelance reporters report stories that aren’t told by other news organizations in town.” Emceed by WUNC’s Frank Stasio, the fundraiser fea-

tured six bards spinning tales in eight minutes or less. Each story had to relate to Raleigh or North Carolinian culture. “It’s an amazing experience,” Stasio said. “The idea of bringing storytellers together in a public space and having people listen to those stories and those shared experiences in actual physical space, with the actual physical contact and with other human beings is great.” Stasio applauded the bards for their bravery in exposing their souls through storytelling. “It’s just being in the room with those people who are willing to bare their souls and then compete,” Stasio said. “If you’re going to tell the story of your life, you might lose. The idea that you’re willing to go out there and out it all and be judged is very cool and kind of risky.” According to Ben McNeely, N.C. State alumnus, writer for the Raleigh Public Record and Bard Brawl veteran, courage is a necessary ingredient when on stage. “When I’m up there, I have a bourbon in my hand,” McNeely said. “Mainly to keep myself from talking with my hands, but here and there for a bit of courage.” McNeely said that for each storyteller the process is different. For McNeely, though,

it’s all about the preparation. “I usually work it out in my head beforehand. That way I can know how I want the story to progress,” McNeely said. “I may embellish here and there once I get on stage and feel out the crowd, but for the most part the meat of the story is already worked out.” Both Stasio and McNeely said the art of storytelling is an essential piece of Raleigh’s

past and future. “Storytelling competitions and storytelling get-togethers are a timeless tradition,” McNeely said. “I think there’s a real need for this type of stuff in Raleigh and everywhere in general. If we didn’t keep this going here in Raleigh, we’d be missing out on a great thing.” “It’s a lot, it’s hilarious and it’s fun — it’s poignant as well,” Stasio said. “Some of

the stories are funny, some of the stories are poignant. It’s, in any case, a moving experience having people together sharing emotions all in the same space.” According to Stasio, the Raleigh Public Record plays an important part in the journalistic movement with its creative approach to things like the Bard Brawl. “I think it’s a great idea,”

Stasio said. “The fact that [competitors and organizers are] doing this and making their voice and their presence known in their Raleigh community is so important. Giving people the need to read that paper and understand that journalism is changing — the people here are working on that.”

produce a good quality spirit, and I like the challenge,” Norris said. “I like to learn the techniques. You’re always honing. I’m always trying to make the product better . . . . I can work on this for the rest of my lifetime and never get to the top of it.” To help him create the kind of moonshine he wanted, Norris enlisted the help of his grandfather. “When I was younger, he wouldn’t talk about it,” Norris said. “He was like, ‘You need to focus your attention on something else.’ But when I wanted to make a legitimate business out of it, he was all in.” Norris said he uses his grandfather’s old recipe for moonshine with different techniques to expand its production. With his grandfather’s help, Norris also ordered the construction of a large American style still, authentic to the area, which he uses to finish the process of making his moonshine. And because every step in the distilling process is done onsite or nearby, including the growing of the corn and grinding of the barley, Norris said his production, while small, has an advantage in that he gets to oversee every step of the process. However, despite some of the new methods that grant his business a large capacity for production, Norris said the spirit that comes out in the end is still the same as

the product he remembers his grandfather made. And it’s still the spirit he turns to when he wants a drink. “It’s got a distinct taste,” Norris said. “It’s not like anything else. It’s not like vodka, or bourbon. I would rather drink moonshine than anything else. It depends what kind of mood I’m in, but I either drink it straight or if I want to go easy, I’ll mix it with lemonade.” Although, Norris said he sees many possibilities with his distillery, he also wants to share the cultural impact of distilling with as many people as possible. According to him, the distillery is “just a start.” Norris said he hopes to eventually open a museum on his land to celebrate the history of the area and to share aspects of rural life. “There are a lot of people who live in cities and suburbs who have never been exposed to farm life,” Norris said. “They can read about moonshining and read about the stuff that went on in the past, but if we create a place here where they can see and get a whole lot more from the experience than reading, it’d be a great experience. There is an interest for it and someone needs to fill the interest for it. Our distillery is different [than many others.] It’s more in line with how people from George Washington’s time did it.” Norris said Moonshiners came out during the years he set up Broadslab Distillery. Suddenly, interest shined on moonshine related busi-

nesses. “When I started this, there were about two distilleries in the state, and I thought this would be a unique thing to do. There weren’t a lot of people in it,” Norris said. Now there are about a dozen distilleries in North Carolina with a few more coming. Sagan Lampe, a senior in economics and marketing intern for Broadslab Distillery, said much of the interest has been sparked by the allure of moonshine. “There’s this huge focus on local products and hyper-local products,” Lampe said. “You see it in breweries here. No one wants to drink Budweiser. They want to drink Trophy or Fullsteam. Johnston County can jump in there and say ‘We have something to offer too, besides cotton, tobacco, ham and yams.’” A few bars and downtown Raleigh have capitalized on this trend. Foundation, a bar located on Fayetteville Street, recently released a new spring cocktail with Broadslab moonshine as a key ingredient. Titled the “JoCo Caipirinha,” the drink is a remix of the classic Caipirinha, but uses moonshine instead of cachaça. According to A ndrew

CHRIS RUPERT/TECHNICIAN

Freshly distilled liquor pours into a “spirit safe” at Broadslab Distillery in Johnston County. Broadslab Distillery, founded in 2011, produces three types of liquor using a 500 gallon pot style still. The liquor, which is destined to become white liquor, will then be blended, filtered and bottled.

Shepherd, the bar manager of Foundation, moonshines have different f lavors that bartenders can choose to highlight with different drinks. Troy and Sons, a distiller based in Asheville, produces

a moonshine with a scent of ripe bananas, whereas Broadslab’s moonshine is a little lighter in body and smells like caramelized sugar or molasses, Shepherd said. Because of these characteristics, Shepherd said he felt prepar-

ing the spirit like he would a cachaça was perfect. “[Broadslab moonshine] has this cachaça thing going on to it — a raw, vegetal flavor that is similar to many cachaças,” Shepherd said. “So we played off of that.”

Lauren Pilcher, a graduate student in English, was staying with a friend who lives in the Boston area to participate in the competition. She finished the race with a time of 3:21:37, crossing the finish line one hour before the explosions. Pilcher said she heard the blasts a block away from the finish line area. “I would say, by and large, it was a reaction as a whole that we heard the explosions, two really loud noises. We were like ‘What the heck was that?’ Everyone just kind of stopped in the street and we were stopped at an intersection when it happened,” Pilcher said. “Everyone just stopped and said ‘Whoa, what’s going on?’” All of the runners are placed within a radius of a few blocks of the finish line after they’ve completed the race, according to Pilcher. “Where the bombs went off, all of the runners were kind of in the area. They kind of follow you around. So you’re

all within that few block radius of that area. Even though you’re packed in there, you’re not right at the finish line.” She left the area shortly after the explosions but didn’t comprehend the events until she stopped to get lunch across downtown Boston. “I was getting lunch and realized what had happened,” Pilcher said. “We were across the city. Runners and people that weren’t runners were kind of shocked.” Student Media confirmed at least three N.C. State students participated in the race. An additional two others match names in the University Directory. All five finished within 30 minutes of each other. Pilcher said she did not know any of the other runners from N.C. State, and each of them finishing within a short span of each other was purely coincidental. Pilcher said race officials did not approach her after the race.

N.C. State beats UNC 100-0 Eight named to AllAcademic team

Andrew Schuett

Four members each of the N.C. State men’s and women’s swimming and diving team represented the Wolfpack on the ACC’s All-Academic team. Freshman Hayley Tomlinson made her first appearance on the team, while sophomore Hannah Freyman and senior Julianna Prim made the team for the second time. Senior Marifrances Henley is a three-time honoree.

The N.C. State men’s rugby club demolished its rival, UNCChapel Hill, by a score of 100-0 to close out its spring season. Any time State rugby defeats UNC-CH is a special win for the team, but this score is anything but normal for rugby, which is scored similarly to football. This result leaves the Wolfpack with a record of 6-3 this season, ranked 5th in the Atlantic Coast Rugby League, or ACRL. “I couldn’t ask for a better end to my college rugby career: beating the [snot] out of UNC,” said Abe Harman, team president and graduating senior. The game had a shaky start, with lots of dropped balls and penalties on both teams. But State eventually took control of the game, leaving the Tar Heels helpless against the Wolfpack’s onslaught. The Pack dominated in the rucks, leading to numerous turnovers from UNC-CH. State’s forward pack displayed its impressive power by pushing two scrums into the try zone to score for the Wolfpack. The Tar Heels were unable to find weakness in State’s backline defense, and the Wolfpack easily quelled any attacks its rivals put together. On the other side of the ball, State’s relentless backline attacks pounded the UNC
