NEWS BRIEFING

Warren calls for Trump impeachment Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren says the House should begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.

The Democratic presidential candidate went to the Senate floor on Tuesday to reiterate her call for impeachment hours after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared “case closed” on the Russia probe and potential obstruction by Trump.

Funeral scheduled for slain police officer A funeral service and procession has been scheduled for a Mooresville police officer who was shot and killed during a traffic stop over the weekend. Services will be held Friday morning at Calvary Church in Charlotte for Officer Jordan Sheldon.

A procession of public safety vehicles will accompany the officer’s body to the church. Police said Sheldon had pulled over 28-yearold Michael Aldana during a traffic stop. Aldana left the scene and later killed himself in a nearby apartment.

UK concedes it must hold EU election amid Brexit delay The British government on Tuesday acknowledged that the country will take part in the European Parliament elections this month because there’s no chance that a Brexit deal can be approved in time to avoid them. The vote in Britain on May 23 is being held almost three years after U.K. voters chose to leave the EU. But lawmakers have repeatedly rejected May’s divorce deal with the bloc, and Britain’s departure date has been postponed from March 29 until Oct. 31 while politicians scramble for a solution.

Wind turbine moratorium sees pushback from clean energy group

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal A LETTER to legislators penned by “13 North Carolina leading conservatives” is pushing back on Senate Bill 377, which calls for a moratorium on wind turbines near military installations in the state.

The letter, written by individuals affiliated with an organization called Conservatives for Clean Energy, is signed by Lee Curie Jr., a former North Carolina GOP executive director.

Founded in 2014, Conservatives for Clean Energy’s mission is to “educate conservative policy makers” in clean energy areas including solar, wind, energy efficiency, smart grid, and energy storage.

The signatories on the letter include former Republican legislators Sen. Jeff Tarte (Mecklenburg) and Reps. Chris Malone (Wake), Ed McMahan (Mecklenburg) and Linda Hunt Williams (Wake).

Stanly County Commissioner Zach Almond is the only signer who currently holds elected office.

In the opening sentence, the letter says that Senate Bill 377 is an “assault on private property rights” and goes on to say that “Never before in America has a state legislature passed a measure so intrusive.”

The letter makes several claims, such as the bill would make North Carolina the first state to pass a permanent “blanket” ban on wind farms and that the bill “seeks to ban wind energy projects” in more than two dozen counties in the eastern half of the state.

“Conservatives for Clean Energy inaccurately claims that S377 is a ‘blanket, permanent ban of wind farms’ which ‘cripples rural economic development,’” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Brown (R-Onslow), a proponent of the bill, in an email to the North State Journal. “This bill would only prevent the building of commercial wind turbines in areas in which they have been identified as a threat to encroachment on military training.”

Brown said the purpose of S.B. 377 is to “protect the state’s second largest economic driver which produces $66 billion dollars of economic impact a year and employs 10-12% of all employees in our state.”

Brown also called the property rights argument against the bill “a weak one.”

See WIND, page A8

“We have ridge laws in North Carolina which don’t allow the building of wind turbines on mountains.

You can’t currently build a wind turbine in Raleigh because zoning regulations won’t allow it.”

U.S. dispatches aircraft carrier over Iran threats

By Robert Burns The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. is dispatching an aircraft carrier and other military resources to the Middle East following “clear indications” that Iran and its proxy forces were preparing to attack U.S. forces in the region, a defense official told The Associated Press.

At the White House, national security adviser John Bolton said Sunday night that the U.S. is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the U.S. Central Command region, an area that includes the Middle East. In

a statement, he said the move was in response to “a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings,” but did not provide more details.

U.S. forces at sea and on land were thought to be the potential targets, and the Pentagon approved the deployments in response to those indications, according to the defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to speak publicly.

House advances bills before deadline

By Gary D. Robertson The Associated Press RALEIGH — One North Carolina legislative chamber wrapped up its work on Tuesday before a deadline the General Assembly imposed on itself this week so that the universe of bills filed during this two-year session can be narrowed.

The House approved nearly 30 bills, including measures designed to discourage hand-held cellphone use while driving and to address apartment and house renters who say they have emotional support pets. Another approved bill gives billboard companies the option to move signs when they’re removed due to the construction of new roads.

The Senate planned to take up more bills before Thursday’s actual “crossover” deadline. Any measure unrelated to taxes or spending that doesn’t pass one chamber by then is considered dead until 2021. There are ways around the deadline, however.

Cellphone challenge A watered-down bill originally designed to prohibit drivers from using hand-held cellphones survived a House floor vote despite complaints it either lacked teeth to combat distracted driving or was an example of improper government intervention into people’s lives.

Although the measure advanced by a 92-23 vote, the bill’s future remained in doubt after several representatives said the bill fell short or wouldn’t make See HOUSE, page A2

WAYNESVILLE — Family, hundreds of friends and a military honor guard on Sunday remembered a North Carolina college student credited with saving classmates by rushing a gunman firing inside their lecture hall.

Riley Howell, 21, was fatally shot Tuesday while tackling the gunman accused of killing Howell and fellow student Reed Parlier and wounding four more at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Howell has been called a hero.

“A man I never knew is now a man I’ll never forget,” the Rev. Robert Blackburn remembered one young man’s sign reading as Howell’s body was returned earlier this week to his hometown in the Blue Ridge Mountains. His memorial service was held Sunday at a 1,900-seat auditorium on the grounds of a Methodist retreat on Lake Junaluska.

Blackburn opened the service by asking participants to remember the horror of the shooting, pray for the other victims, and

“It’s a feel-good bill,” said Rep. David Rogers, a Rutherford County Republican who voted no. “Reckless driving is already against the law.” Bill supporters said the bill was a start and promised Senate allies would work to find better language to combat accidents and fatalities related to cellphone use while driving.

“In this case, doing nothing is worse than doing something,” said House Rules Chairman David Lewis, a Harnett County Republican, in urging passage.

Bolton’s reference to the Central Command area would mean the Lincoln is headed east to the Red Sea and perhaps then to the Arabian Sea or the Persian Gulf, which would take several days. The U.S. Navy currently has no aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf.

Bolton said the U.S. wants to send a message that “unrelenting force” will meet any attack on U.S. interests or those of its allies.

“The United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime, but we are fully prepared to re-

spond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or regular Iranian forces,” he said.

Along with the Lincoln, Bolton mentioned “a bomber task force,” which suggested the Pentagon is deploying land-based bomber aircraft somewhere in the region, perhaps on the Arabian Peninsula.

Speaking to reporters while flying to Europe, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the actions undertaken by the U.S. had been in the works for a little while.

Howell’s mother received a folded American flag from a military honor guard, which came on stage during the memorial.

Howell was a big-hearted, affectionate person with an adventurous streak who loved Star Wars and superhero tales, his siblings recounted. Riley “unapologetically lived as who he was” and set an example to be “bigger than the small things this world wants us to be hung up on,” said his sister Iris.

“My superhero doesn’t wear a cape, he wears Tevas,” said his brother Teddy.

Before the bluegrass band Balsam Range played “I’ll Fly Away,” the father of Howell’s high school sweetheart of five years wondered whether the young man had died saving college classmates who may have lives of high purpose.

“I choose to believe that Riley knew that some things were bigger than he was, and he was right where he was supposed to be.

Maybe it was to show all of us in the world that selflessness is not gone. We just don’t see it enough,” said Kevin Westmoreland.

The bill creates a nondiscrimination provision for people living in an apartment or other rental who use such animals. But those without an obvious disability would have to give their landlord a document from a doctor, psychologist or social workers affirming this need. And the measure would make it a misdemeanor for someone to lie to a landlord or a health care provider about their need to obtain verification.

The House decided to wrap up Tuesday in part because of a national Republican Legislative Campaign Committee conference starting Wednesday in Asheville, and won’t take votes again until next week. While Senate leader Phil Berger has a significant role in the conference as the committee’s chairman, the Senate will continue to work at least through Wednesday.

Asked if the Iranian action were related to the deadly events in Gaza and Israel — militants fired rockets into Israel on Sunday and Israel responded with airstrikes — Pompeo said, “It is separate from that.”

The Trump administration has been intensifying a pressure campaign against Iran.

Last month, President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will no longer exempt any countries from U.S. sanctions if they continue to buy Iranian oil, a decision that primarily affects the five remaining major importers: China and India and U.S. treaty allies

Japan, South Korea and Turkey.

The U.S. also recently designated Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group, the first ever for an entire division of another government.

Trump withdrew from the Obama administration’s landmark nuclear deal with Iran in May 2018 and in the months that followed, reimposed punishing sanctions including those targeting Iran’s oil, shipping and banking sectors.

Bolton and Pompeo have in recent months spoken stridently about Iran and its “malign activities” in the region.

After defeating legislation on the same topic in 2017, the House approved a measure that would allow outdoor advertising companies to relocate billboards that must be removed because the land upon which it sits is being condemned to build a highway project.

Raleigh CEO to challenge Tillis in GOP Primary The Associated Press RALEIGH — Retired investment company executive Garland Tucker, of Raleigh, has taken the first step toward challenging U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis in next year’s Republican primary.

On Monday, Tucker filed candidate committee paperwork with the Federal Election Commission. Political adviser Carter Wrenn says people close to Tucker have been urging him to run, and that Tucker will make a formal statement later in the week.

Tucker is the former CEO of Triangle Capital Corp. While long involved in conservative politics, Tucker’s never run for elected office.

Critics of Tillis have considered him ripe for a competitive GOP primary. Some hard-right conservatives were unhappy when Tillis initially said he’d oppose President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border. He ultimately voted for it.

President Donald Trump presents the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Tiger Woods during a ceremony in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, Monday, May 6, 2019.

Trump awards medal to Tiger Woods, calls him ‘true legend’ “Tiger was back on top.”

Trump declared during the Rose Garden ceremony

By Kevin Freking The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump awarded golfer Tiger Woods the nation’s highest civilian honor on Monday, describing the 43-year-old as a “true legend” who transformed golf and then fought through years of injury to return to the sport’s summit.

Trump awarded Woods with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He’s the fourth golfer to earn that distinction and certainly the youngest. While Woods dominated the sport for more than a decade, he won his first major in nearly 11 years at last month’s Masters Tournament, a comeback that captivated the sporting world.

“Tiger was back on top,” Trump

declared during the Rose Garden ceremony.

If there were a Mount Rushmore for golfers, Woods would almost certainly be on it. He ranks second in PGA Tour wins and in major tournament victories.

Trump understood the importance of Woods comeback to golf and its fans, tweeting shortly after the Masters win that he was awarding Woods the medal because of his “incredible Success & Comeback in Sports (Golf) and, more importantly, LIFE.” George W. Bush presented the Medal of Freedom to Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Barack Obama presented it to Charlie Sifford, sometimes referred to as the “Jackie Robinson of golf.” Woods noted that he named his son after

Sifford. “He was like the grandpa I never had,” Woods recalled.

Woods was joined at the ceremony by his mother, Kutilda; daughter, Sam Alexis, 11; son, Charlie Axel, 10; and girlfriend Erica Herman. Woods’ father, Earl, passed away more than a decade ago. Woods’ longtime caddie, Joe LaCava, also attended.

Woods became emotional as he spoke of his parents, and he thanked those who have supported him over the years, saying, “You’ve seen the good and bad, the highs and lows, and I would not be in this position without all of your help.”

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is given to individuals who have made “especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors,” according to the White House. Presidents have complete discretion over whom they honor with the medal.

Treasury Dept refuses to hand over Trump tax returns

By Andrew Taylor and Jonathan Lemire The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has made it official: The administration won’t be turning President Donald Trump’s tax returns over to the Democratic-controlled House.

Mnuchin told Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., in a Monday letter that the panel’s request “lacks a legitimate legislative purpose” as Supreme Court precedent requires.

In making that determination, Mnuchin said he relied on the advice of the Justice Department.

He concluded that the Treasury Department is “not authorized to disclose the requested returns and return information.” He said the Justice Department will provide a more detailed legal justification soon.

The move, which was expected, is sure to set in motion a legal battle over Trump’s tax returns.

The chief options available to Democrats are to subpoena the IRS for the returns or to file a lawsuit. Last week, Neal promised “we’ll be ready” to act soon after Monday’s deadline.

Treasury’s denial came the day that the House Judiciary panel scheduled a vote for Wednesday on whether to find Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena for a full, unredacted copy of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report. Fights with other House panels are ongoing.

“I will consult with counsel and determine the appropriate response,” Neal said in a statement Monday.

Neal originally demanded access to Trump’s tax returns in early April under a law that says the IRS “shall furnish” the returns of any taxpayer to a handful of top lawmakers, including the chair of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee.

He maintains that the committee is looking into the effectiveness of IRS mandatory audits of tax returns of all sitting presidents, a way to justify his claim that the panel has a potential legislative purpose.

The White House and the Republican president’s attorneys declined to comment on the deadline to turn over Trump’s returns.

Mnuchin has said Neal’s request would potentially weaponize private tax returns for political purposes.

Trump is the first president since Watergate to decline to make his tax returns public, often claiming that he would release them if he was not under audit.

“What’s unprecedented is this secretary refusing to comply with our lawful ... request. What’s unprecedented is a Justice Department that again sees its role as being bodyguard to the executive and not the rule of law,” said Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J. “What’s unprecedented is an entire federal government working in concert to shield a corrupt president from legal accountability.”

“We are thrilled that Ray Starling is joining the N.C. Chamber team,” Gary Salamido, chief operating officer and acting president of the NC Chamber said in a press release. “Ray has a deep understanding of North Carolina’s economy and proven experience building relationships that transcend politics.”

Starling is also taking over for Salamido as president of the N.C. Chamber Legal Institute.

“I am excited to join the N.C. Chamber team,” said Starling. “As our state continues to grow, it is more important now than ever to protect our economic gains. I am pleased to be part of that effort with the N.C. Chamber and its Legal Institute.”

Starling served in various roles within state government, having worked in the N.C. Department of Agriculture and in the N.C. House as a staffer for then-Speaker Thom Tillis. He is a graduate of N.C. State University where he received a B.S. in agricultural education in 1999 and he received a law degree from the UNC School of Law in 2002.

Where is “The Fiscal Sanity Caucus” in Congress today?

THERE ARE 16 CAUCUSES in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The road to fiscal hell is paved with good intentions…and lack of principled leadership.

Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) — Progressive Democrats Medicare for All Caucus — Progressive Democrats New Democrat Coalition (NDC) — Modern Liberal/Centrist Democrats Blue Dog Coalition (BDC) — Conservative Democrats Blue Collar Caucus — Pro-labor and Alter-globalization Democrats Expand Social Security Caucus (ESSC) — Progressive Democrats Tuesday Group (TG) — Moderate Republicans Republican Main Street Partnership (MSP) — Moderate Republicans Republican Study Committee (RSC) — Conservative Republicans Liberty Caucus (LC) — Libertarian Republicans Freedom Caucus (FC) — Conservative Republicans affiliated with the Tea Party movement The Congressional Black Caucus for African-Americans The Congressional Hispanic Caucus for Hispanic Democrats The Congressional Hispanic Conference for Hispanic Republicans The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus Note none of these caucuses is called “The Fiscal Sanity Caucus.” Or “The Balanced Budget Caucus.” Or the “We Came To Do What Adults Are Supposed To Do Caucus,” which is manage our nation’s finances in a responsible mature process.

Not one single caucus named above has done anything to reduce federal spending over the past 18 years. Many have opined or whined about the deficit and blamed “the other side” for not cooperating on reducing the national debt. However, no legislator, committee, party or caucus gets any credit unless legislation passes both the Senate and the House and gets signed into law by the president.

That is the way it works in our American constitutional democratic republic. The road to fiscal hell is paved with good intentions … and lack of principled leadership.

The last Congress that oversaw a balanced budget was in 2001 — pre9/11 that is. Four balanced budgets from 1998-2001 were the result of work done starting in 1990, revved up in the House Budget Committee in 1993 and finalized in the 1997 Balanced Budget Act. Since 2001, the national debt has exploded from $5.8 trillion to more

than $22 trillion today. Tax revenues have increased from $2 trillion to $3.4 trillion since 2000, a 70% increase during a time of historically low inflation.

However, spending has gone up from $1.7 trillion to over $4 trillion, a 135% increase since 2000.

The problem with debt accumulation is spending. Not taxation. We have more debate about taxation, though, than spending.

Why? Because cutting taxes is fun. Cutting spending is painful.

Spending more of your money is great fun, especially to those who love more government control of everything.

The problem is manifold. Members always blame everyone else for their inability to lead on cutting spending. Their collective lack of understanding of basic principles of arithmetic coupled with no apparent understanding of economics and accounting is self-evident on a daily basis. They simply do not know how to lead by brokering deals and compromises that produce less-than-perfect solutions but they put the brakes on spending nonetheless.

History will not remember any of them well. There are no “Profiles in Courage” to write about when it comes to fiscal discipline since 2001.

Balancing the budget is not that hard. Even a caveman like me can do it.

So can every person reading this opinion piece as long as they know how to subtract.

In 1993, former budget staffer Greg Hampton and I found $177 billion in spending savings over five years from the baseline in Medicare and Medicaid alone and helped my boss, former Congressman Alex McMillan of Charlotte, get it into a document supported by 15 GOP House Budget Committee Members called “Cutting Spending First.” We were 85 seats in the minority at the time and Republicans had not controlled Congress since 1955.

Republicans took over Congress in 1994, and $135 billion of those proposals made their way into the landmark 1997 Budget Act which led to the only balanced budgets we will see in our lifetimes if things don’t change very soon.

If any member of Congress or senator wants to start “The Fiscal Sanity Caucus,” call me. You can be an Army of One at least to start.

GUEST OPINION | STACEY MATTHEWS

After mass shootings, all ‘sides’ feel the grief and devastation — and seek solutions

“There really should be no sides in solving this issue, but there are. One thing is certain, however: We all grieve.”

IT WAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, just before 6 p.m.

I was finishing up a writing day when my mother called to me from the living room. “You need to come look at this.”

She watches the local news daily. Some days after I’m done writing, I tune the news out. But not on this day.

What I saw on the TV screen shook me to the core. There had been a mass shooting at UNC Charlotte, just 10 minutes from where I was.

Two students were killed: 21-year-old Riley Howell and 19-year-old Ellis “Reed” Parlier. Four students were injured: 19-year-old Drew Pescaro, 20-year-old Sean Dehart, 20-year-old Rami Alramadhan and 23-year-old Emily Houpt.

Charlotte, which had mercifully been spared the horror of a mass school shooting up until last Tuesday, suddenly joined the ranks of cities like Columbine, Colo., Parkland, Fla., and Blacksburg, Va., who all share the unwanted distinction of being places where unimaginable, deadly campus shootings took place.

The city has been my home since the early ’80s. And the university area is where my family put down roots some 20 years ago. We’ve watched with pride as the campus grew, as new buildings and a stadium were constructed, and more nearby off-campus housing was built.

The main concern for many on this side of town through all of it has been about traffic. “How much more can this side of Charlotte handle?” is a question frequently heard.

On Tuesday, there was a different kind of traffic. First responders arrived in full force. News media vans parked wherever they could on and off campus. Other students and concerned family members converged. Some news outlets used helicopters to give their viewers an overall look at the area where the shooting took place.

The one common theme heard in the immediate aftermath was that we were “Charlotte strong.” We would get through this. The shooter was in custody and provided a full confession. We would soon — at

some point — find out the answers as to “why?”

The next day, we found out through Charlotte-Mecklenburg police chief Kerr Putney that Howell’s actions saved lives, that he was a hero.

He had sacrificed his life. It was an emotional, heartbreaking moment that deeply impacted anyone listening, regardless of what “side” they stood on in the debate over how we should respond in the aftermath of school shootings so that they’ll never happen again.

As devastating as school shootings are, the grief is compounded in the days that follow as all “sides” of the debate dig in with their positions. The mainstream media oftentimes portrays one side as more caring about finding solutions than the other. Gun rights proponents are frequently portrayed as people with “blood on their hands.” If they would just get out of the way, the news media and commentators say, we could stop these senseless tragedies.

What they don’t understand is that in the aftermath, defenders of gun rights grieve, too. They assess what happened and think over and over again of ways the shooting might have been stopped or the victim count contained to a minimum. They have their own solutions in mind, but few people want to listen.

Some gun rights proponents have been victims of school shootings themselves. Or have loved ones who were. They, too, think we could do more to prevent them in the future. But few people are willing to listen, because their solutions don’t fit the narrative.

No “side” wants to see more school shooting victims. All “sides” want students to feel safe at school. These are common goals. But how to get there is the source of intense debate.

There really should be no “sides” in solving this issue, but there are.

One thing is certain, however: We all grieve.

GUEST OPINION | ANDREW BURNS

Ten years after

Given strengthened banking and more Americans working now than ever, what could go wrong? Lots, actually.

MOST ROCK BANDS had random handles (Turtles, Zombies), but the 1960s British band Ten Years After was thoughtfully named to honor the related anniversary of the start of Elvis Presley’s career. In the case of this note, it marks a decade since the stock market crash of 2008-09. I assess this period with commentary about our largest banks, American workers and America in general.

When asked if the magnitude of the 2008-09 market correction will soon be matched, my answer is an unequivocal “probably not” since a huge reason for the market freefall 10 years ago was not due to the real estate correction per se but, more importantly, because we completely lost our banking system at the same time. Using an anatomical analogy, you might say we had failure in one kidney (a real estate bubble popped), but our nervous system (banking system) shut down in tandem.

While disagreeing with some of the fiscal and monetary methods used to foster recovery — and the complete lack of personal responsibility taken by individual regulators or the regulated — the fact is that our “bank nervous system” is indeed strong again and unlikely to fail when we next face a pullback. As shown in Table 1, banks generally have far more capital cushion now and are experiencing few losses.

As of the 10-year anniversary of the March 9, 2009, nadir, the S&P 500 had returned 400%. Given strengthened banking and more Americans working now than ever, what could go wrong?

Lots, actually. The federal government currently spends roughly $1 trillion more than it takes in each year. This is expected to continue. Some economists argue that if the growth in GDP is greater than the interest on the Federal debt held by the public, all is well. Last year, for example, our GDP grew more than $500 billion according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget calculates the net interest on our debt was $310 billion. However, during the next economic stall, annual deficits of $1.5-2.0 trillion could be possible — before accounting for any new government stimulus to allay the downturn.

Table 3 expresses net government debt as a percentage of GDP among selected countries.

Unfortunately, with the exception of Germany, every country is heading toward — or has long since passed — the 90% debt to GDP threshold some argue is the level above which future economic growth will be compromised. Japan is by far the worst fiscal actor.

Top five banks in S&P 500 as of 12/31/2018 — FactSet

As shown in Table 2, America added more than 23 million people to our census in the last 10 years and we now have 150 million civilians working — the highest figure in our history. Some may consider population growth a given, but a few major countries like Japan and Spain are actually shrinking and therefore face major structural financial problems.

As will be discussed later, all is not necessarily rosy as the nation’s federal debt obligations divided by each civilian worker has doubled and is now $105,000 per head.

“Growth in a Time of Debt.” American Economic Review Papers and Proceedings.

In July 2016 T.J. Clark, a British writer, said in response to Brexit, “There is a connection.

Capitalism needed saving (in 2008-09), but in bailing out the financial institutions with taxpayers’ money, governments transferred the stresses from markets to politics.” The market sees “stresses” building on governments — and certainly politics — as Western powers (and China) conclude that growth policies at all costs are better than discovering what an economic down cycle might look like.

Let’s hope our Federal deficit gets closer to balance so I do not have to name a future opinion piece after the British band whose pop hit was, “I Think I am Turning Japanese.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR | MARY ZAHRAN

Hillary in Wonderland Dear Hillary:

Your role is to be the First Lady of Wonderland, a place where nothing is ever what it seems to be, and words mean just what you want them to mean

Thank you for your illuminating observations on the Mueller report. I first thought I was reading an article from The Onion, but I soon realized that this was a genuine editorial written by a real — if somewhat deluded — person.

First, let me point out that you are not a “messenger” in this matter — you are a major player. It was your campaign committee that helped to fund the Steele dossier, which became the basis for a two-year, $25 million investigation into Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election.

Even if you did not have direct knowledge that your campaign committee paid for this dossier, it was purchased on your behalf for the explicit purpose of undermining the Trump presidency.

At best, you were a clueless candidate who didn’t know what your staff was doing. At worst, you were an active participant who gave either overt or tacit permission for unverifiable information on your opponent to be published and disseminated. Neither explanation sounds good.

In either case, you are hardly the person to express outrage that Russian interference in the 2016 presidential race caused our election to be “corrupted, our democracy assaulted, our sovereignty and security violated.”

Speaking of security violations, let’s revisit your love affair with a private email server. For someone who now seems deeply concerned about possible foreign interference in the 2020 elections, you didn’t seem too worried about national security as secretary of state.

During that time, you maintained a private server in your home, and you used a private email account, a decision that was a clear violation of a State Department policy which was in place for several years before you became secretary of state.

When asked about your use of a private system, your spokesman, Brian Fallon, asserted that you never thought “that having … a personal server … would be unapproved” by the State Department; therefore, you did not ask for permission to use it.

You say you would like to see a Congressional hearing on the Mueller report similar to the Watergate hearings. You were a young staff

attorney then, serving on the House Judiciary Committee’s Watergate impeachment inquiry, and you seem to have fond memories of this experience, describing the people conducting those hearings as nonpartisan, highly principled, and dignified.

I remember watching the Watergate hearings in my American History class, and I would agree with your description of those events. Every day was a civics lesson taught in real time, although I, as a 17-year-old, did not have the political and historical perspective that you, as a young attorney, did.

But this is 2019, not the early 1970s, and the political world has changed. In fact, I can describe that change in two words: Brett Kavanaugh.

If you think the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing was a three-ring circus, just wait until the Mueller hearing begins.

In the case of Kavanaugh, his opponents feared that a conservative-majority Supreme Court would lead to the reversal of Roe v. Wade, making abortion illegal again. The left went into full panic mode, complete with Theater of the Absurd performances inside the hearing room, legions of women in “Handmaid’s Tale” costumes, and enough hysterical shrieking to wake the dead.

What theatricality awaits us in a Mueller hearing? Will a shirtless Putin impersonator ride a horse into the hearing room? Will actors recreate scenes from “The Manchurian Candidate”? Surely there will be lots of hysterical shrieking. And some guy will be wearing an orange wig.

So much for a dignified, substantive hearing.

In closing, you assert that “each of us has a vital role to play as citizens.” After reading your editorial, I’ve concluded that your role is to be the First Lady of Wonderland, a place where nothing is ever what it seems to be, and words mean just what you want them to mean.

Enjoy your reign in Wonderland, and please give the Mad Hatter my regards.

Skeptically yours, Mary Mary Zahran Fayetteville

Discrimination and Disparities II LAST WEEK’S column discussed Dr. Thomas Sowell’s newest book “Discrimination and Disparities,” which is an enlarged and revised edition of an earlier version. In this review, I am going to focus on one of his richest chapters titled “Social Visions and Human Consequences.”

Sowell challenges the seemingly invincible fallacy “that group outcomes in human endeavors would tend to be equal, or at least comparable or random, if there were no biased interventions, on the one hand, nor genetic deficiencies, on the other.” But disparate impact statistics carries the day among academicians, lawyers and courts as evidence of discrimination.

Sowell gives the example of blacks, who make up close to 70 percent of NFL and AFL players in professional football. Blacks are greatly overrepresented among star players but almost nonexistent among field goal kickers and punters. Probably the only reason why lawsuits are not brought against team owners is that the same people hire running backs and field goal kickers. One wonders whether anyone has considered the possibility that professional black players do not want to be punters and field goal kickers?

Different social classes raise their children differently. Studies have shown that children whose parents are professional heard more words per hour than children whose families are on welfare. Studies show that professional parents used “more words and more different words ... more multiclause sentences, more past and future verb tenses. ... The ratio of affirmative words to negative words was 6-to1 with parents who had professional occupation.”

By contrast, families on welfare used discouraging words more than 2-to1: words such as “Don’t,” “Stop,” “Quit,” and “Shut up.” Sowell sarcastically asks are we to believe that children raised in such different ways, many years before they reach an employer, a college admissions office or crime scene are the same in capabilities, orientation and limitations?

Social justice warriors ignore many differences that have little or nothing to do with discrimination but have an enormous impact on outcomes.

Age is one of those factors. Median age differences between groups, sometimes of a decade or two, will have an enormous impact on observed group outcomes. The median age for American Jews is slightly over 50 years old and that of Latinos is 28. Just on median age alone, would one be surprised at significant group income disparity and other differences related to age?

Sowell says that a single inconspicuous difference in circumstance can make a huge historical difference in human outcomes. During the 1840s, Ireland experienced a potato famine. Potatoes were the principle food of the Irish.

That famine led to the deaths of a million people and caused 2 million to flee. The same variety of potato that was grown in Ireland was also grown in the U.S. with no crop failure. The source of Ireland’s crop failure has been traced to a fertilizer used on both sides of the Atlantic. The difference was that fertilizer contained a fungus that thrived in the mild and moist climate of Ireland but did not in the hot, dry climate of Idaho and other potato growing areas of the U.S. That one small difference caused massive human tragedy.

A study of National Merit Scholarship finalists found that firstborn children were finalists far more often than their younger siblings.

In the U.S. and other countries such as Britain and Germany, the firstborn’s IQs were higher than their siblings.

Among medical students, a high proportion are firstborn. Sowell asks that if equality of outcomes don’t exist among people with the same parents, raised in the same household, why would one expect equality of outcomes elsewhere?

Morally neutral factors such as crop failures, birth order, geographic setting, and demographic or cultural differences are among the reasons why economic and social outcomes fail to fit the preconceived notions of “experts.”

The bottom line about Sowell’s new book, “Discrimination and Disparities,” is that it contains a wealth of data and analysis that turns much of the thinking of politicians, academicians, legal experts and judges into pure, unadulterated mush.

NATION & WORLD ‘It’s a Boy!’ for Harry and Meghan “This little thing is absolutely to die for. ... I’m just over the moon.”

Prince Harry

By Scott Smith The Associated Press WINDSOR, England — The improbable love story between an American actress and a British royal took the best of all possible turns Monday with the arrival of a healthy baby boy.

The as-yet-unnamed baby arrived less than a year after Prince Harry wed Meghan Markle in a spectacular televised event on the grounds of Windsor Castle that was watched the world over.

Meghan is now the Duchess of Sussex, but she still does things her own way: The couple bucked royal tradition by declining to say where the baby was born and opting not to come out to pose with the newborn just hours after the birth.

Instead, an obviously overjoyed Harry emerged to tell the world — via its waiting TV cameras — that a baby had been born. It marked a moment the nation is likely to remember as a once-troubled boy undone by the death of his mother Princess Diana in 1997 car crash seemed giddy in his embrace of fatherhood.

“This little thing is absolutely to die for,” the ginger-haired, bearded prince said. “I’m just over the moon.”

The baby weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces at birth and was born at 5:26 a.m.. Harry said their son was a little bit overdue and that had given the royal couple more time to contemplate names.

Harry promised that more details — such as the baby’s name — will be shared in the coming days.

Harry and the palace didn’t immediately provide details on whether the baby was born at a hospital or if it was a home birth. The royal couple had earlier said they wanted to keep details private.

The infant is seventh in line to the British throne and is the eighth great-grandchild of 93-year-old Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest reigning monarch.

Britain’s Prince Harry speaks at Windsor Castle, Windsor, England, Monday May 6, 2019, after his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex gave birth to a baby boy. It is the first child for Harry and Meghan, who married a year ago. grows in popularity in part because of public affection for Harry, his older brother Prince William, and their two wives, Meghan and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Harry, the 34-year-old son of Prince Charles, said he was present at the birth.

“It’s been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined,” he said.

“How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension.

“We’re both absolutely thrilled and so grateful for all the love and support from everybody out there. It’s been amazing, so we just wanted to share this with everybody,” he said.

Word that the baby had been born was withheld while senior members of the royal family, including the queen, were told.

Princess Diana’s family was also informed.

Buckingham Palace said minutes before 2 p.m. that Meghan had gone into labor (in fact the baby had already been born) and Harry emerged less than an hour later to announce the birth in person.

Harry’s dramatic announcement, and his obvious pleasure, sparked cheers among royal fans and well-wishers who had

gathered outside the imposing grounds of Windsor Castle hoping to hear the news.

Buckingham Palace said Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, was also with her daughter and was overjoyed with the baby’s arrival.

Harry said he planned to make another announcement, probably in two days’ time, “so everyone can see the baby.” It’s expected they will pose for a family picture at that point.

The arrival of a boy was something of a surprise because Britain’s legal bookmakers several weeks ago stopped accepting bets on the baby’s sex because so many people had placed bets on the baby being a girl.

Bookmakers came to the conclusion that the rumor the baby was a girl must have been based on some type of leak from a person in the know.

The child will be eligible for dual citizenship, but Harry and Meghan have not said whether they plan to apply for American status.

Harry and Meghan recently moved from central London to a secluded house known as Frogmore Cottage near Windsor Castle, 25 miles west of London. The move is seen as reflecting a desire for privacy as they raise their first child.

NEW YORK — Cardi B swept by in a stunning red quilted dress accentuated with a matching sequin headpiece, feathers and a train that took up much of the pink carpet, Jared Leto was accompanied by his own (fake) head and Katy Perry came as a candled chandelier at the crazy, campy Met Gala on Monday night.

Lady Gaga used the carpet as a runway and a changing station — earning giggles and claps from Anna Wintour — and Tiffany Haddish brought fried chicken in a plastic bag as many of the A-list guests worked the camp theme to the max. That included Zendaya, whose Cinderella Tommy Hilfiger dress went aglow with the wave of a magic wand.

She dropped one of her see-through slippers on the way up the long staircase at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the cocktail hour.

Emily Ratajkowski channeled Cher in a barely there silver dress by Dundas and wing-like headpiece with feathers and hanging crystal strands by the House of Malakai.

Tom Ford dressed Gemma Chan, who wore a custom headdress inspired by Elizabeth Taylor, and Versace created a jaw-dropping sparkler for Jennifer Lopez. She wore a 129.48-carat purple and diamond sapphire by Harry Winston around her neck.

Regina King, in a copper sequin Oscar de la Renta gown with a large shoulder embellishment, said she wasn’t ready to go full camp, so she stuck to high lacquered hair.

“So, glamour is camp,” the Oscar-winner said. “Maybe next year the comfort level will have expanded.”

The 71st annual gala hit a high point early with Lady Gaga working the pink carpet to its fullest in long golden eyelashes and a huge fuchsia dress, peeling off layer after layer until she was down to a bra, panties and fishnet stockings.

“Camp is the art of being extra and I’ve always been extra,” she laughed. “I’m from the theater so it’s easy for me.”

This year’s gala theme, “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” was inspired by a seminal 1964 essay by Susan Sontag in which she describes the phenomenon as something that shan’t be talked about: “To talk about Camp is therefore to betray it.”

The theme is chosen for the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition and gala guests are encouraged to take it on.

Haddish, in a black-and-silver tiger stripe “Pimperella” Michael Kors pantsuit with wide bells at the ankles, a glitzy hat on her head, said she vowed not to go snackless this year, hence the fried chicken.

“I bring my own snacks because last year I was starving and I learned my lesson,” she said. Of the theme, she declared: “Camping means no panties!” She noted that during her broke days, “I used to buy knock-off Michael Kors everything. Now here I am several years later wearing Michael Kors, for me, designed for me.”

Wintour, who masterminds the gala every year, wore a light pink cape with loose ostrich feathers over a matching gown adorned in a flower sequin design. She told waiting reporters this year’s theme is anything goes.

“I hope they have a lot of fun,” she said of her A-list guests. “The more crazy the better.”

WIND from page A1 “We have ridge laws in North Carolina which don’t allow the building of wind turbines on mountains. You can’t currently build a wind turbine in Raleigh because zoning regulations won’t allow it,” said Brown in the email.

“Zoning is done all across this state, in every community in this state, for various reasons,” Brown added. “S377 is needed to put our state in a stronger position in any future BRAC decisions, because the economic impact that would result from a loss of any of our military installations would be devastating to eastern North Carolina and the entire state.”

A May 6 statement released by Brown’s office called attention to an op-ed regarding Senate Bill 377 published in the Fayetteville Observer by David Kelly of the Environmental Defense Fund. In it, Kelly says North Carolina’s economy would take steps back if S377 moves forward. Kelly cited Dave Belote’s arguments against Senate Bill 377 made before the Senate Commerce Committee on April 10 where Belote said a federal Department of Defense Clearinghouse used to site wind turbines is adequate for protecting the bases. Brown argued that Belote’s “current and recent past employment is tied to the wind industry” and that “his testimony before the Committee has to be viewed with suspicion at best.”

Col. Donn Yates, commander of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, also testified at the April 10 hearing and, while he did not endorse S.B. 377, said that he wants “the status quo” on wind farms.

Over the last few months, Brown has pointed out that obstacles like wind turbines can obstruct the military’s ability to conduct training exercises and puts the state’s military bases at risk of closure. The dollar tag of military bases in North Carolina is substantial.

A 2015 report by the N.C. Department of Commerce reported that military bases in the state supported 578,000 jobs and generated $34 billion in personal income and $66 billion in gross state product.

In 2017, the state had an estimated 130,000 active duty personnel and contractors, it and ranks fourth in the country for federal military spending.

Senate Bill 377, which passed the Senate Commerce and Insurance Committee on May 2, was referred to the Senate Rules Committee and has not yet been scheduled for a hearing.

is beat Richmond in the one game that mattered most.

Despite having beaten the Spiders one week earlier on the same field, regular season champion High Point fell behind early in the rematch and never recovered in a 15-7 setback to the tournament’s No. 2 seed. Richmond will play at Duke, the only state school to make it into the tournament, in the opening round on Sunday.

“It wasn’t our best day,” the veteran coach said of only his team’s third loss of the year.

In some conferences — most notably the Big Ten, in which 8-7 Johns Hopkins got an at-large bid despite losing its tournament final to Penn State — one “bad day” isn’t so damaging. That’s not the way it works in one-bid leagues such as the SoCon. This isn’t a phenomenon limited to lacrosse, with only eight at-large spots available. Earlier this spring, both Furman and UNC Greensboro got left out of the NCAA’s men’s basketball tournament despite having equally strong resumes.

It’s a fact of life that still has Torpey hot under the collar, especially since he’s yet to get an explanation from anyone on the NCAA committee as to why his team was passed over.

At the same time, he said he’s already put the disappointment behind him enough to appreciate

RALEIGH — Mother’s Day is coming up on Sunday, but at the 56th North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame induction celebration last weekend, it was a group of fathers that took center stage.

No fewer than six of them were represented by their children or grandchildren upon becoming the shrine’s newest members in a ceremony held Friday at the Raleigh Convention Center.

In addition to Ernie Barnes, Willie Bradshaw, Steve Gabriel, Neill McGeachy and Thell Overman, all of whom were recognized posthumously, Gene Corrigan was unable to travel while recovering from a stroke. Corrigan’s presenter and son, Boo, is the new athletic director at NC State, while McGeachy’s son, Neil III, didn’t just walk in his dad’s footsteps, he actually wore a pair of his shoes to the event.

The most recognizable father of them all wasn’t part of the prestigious Class of 2019. The late Dale Earnhardt Sr. has been in the Hall for 15 years now. His presence was still felt, however, with the induction of his son Dale Jr. — the star attraction in a group of honorees that also included golfer Davis Love III, football coach Rod Broadway, former UNC quarterback Paul Miller, groundbreaking basketball referee Dee Kantner and outdoorsman Eddie Bridges.

Kantner, one of the first female referees hired by the NBA, was especially excited to be included in the same category as the NASCAR legend and second-generation Hall of Famer, as well as a PGA champion who twice served as the U.S. Ryder Cup captain.

“My mother is a huge Dale Earnhardt Sr. fan,” Kantner said at a media event Thursday.

“I got a picture with him years ago in Charlotte and she didn’t even see my face. When I found out I was being inducted and the group included Davis Love III and Dale Earnhardt Jr., now it means something.”

While Earnhardt and Love are the bestknown members of this year’s class, their celebrity shouldn’t diminish the accomplishments of their fellow Hall of Famers. According to Don Fish, outgoing executive director of the state shrine, the incoming group of 12 new inductees is “the most diverse ever.”

In addition to the racer, the golfer, the female basketball ref, the football players, coaches and administrator, their ranks also include an artist (Barnes), a sports marketer (McGeachy), a conservationist (Bridges) and the first wrestler to be enshrined (Gabriel).

Bridges, for one, was happy to see the Hall branch out.

“I think people forget that the men, women and children who hunt and fish in North Carolina have raised $3.2 million every year for the state economy,” said the 86-year-old Morganton native, who spent most of his adult life working on behalf of fishermen and hunters as a member of the state Wildlife Resources Commission. “They’ve discovered that we are an important group of people, and I am proud about that.”

High Point snubbed for lacrosse NCAAs The Panthers had key wins over Duke and Virginia, but a loss in the Southern Conference title game cost High Point a bid

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal High Point coach Jon Torpey didn’t have to watch the selection show for the NCAA’s Division I men’s lacrosse tournament Sunday night.

He’d already been told that his team wasn’t getting into the 17team field.

“I got some word earlier that afternoon that we weren’t in the final (at-large) grouping,” said Torpey, whose Panthers threw their fate into the hands of the selection committee by losing the Southern Conference championship game to Richmond.

The advance warning didn’t make the news any easier to take.

“It hit you like a ton of bricks,” he said. “I thought we were going to be in there. Based on what we did, I thought it was a no-brainer.”

What High Point did was pile up 13 wins, tied for the second most in the nation this season, including road victories at ACC champion Virginia and thenNo. 2 Duke. The Panthers totaled three top-20 RPI wins in all and five against teams that did make it into the NCAA bracket.

Dick Vitale: The basketball coachturned broadcaster insists his greatest accomplishment has been raising money for pediatric cancer research. Over the past decade-plus, the Dick Vitale Gala has raised $25.2 million through the V Foundation for cancer research, formed by the late NC State basketball coach Jim Valvano, who died of cancer in 1993.

Hurricanes forward Teuvo Teravainen scores the go-ahead goal in Carolina’s 5-2 win over the Islanders to complete the four-game sweep in the Eastern Conference semifinal series.

Hurricanes, Bruins evenly matched in conference final Carolina must go through Boston to reach its third Stanley Cup Final

By Cory Lavalette North State Journal RALEIGH — The Boston Bruins put away the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday, winning 3-0 to earn a berth in Eastern Conference Final against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Bruins hold the home-ice advantage, meaning Games 1 and 2 will be at TD Bank Garden.

After Carolina’s sweep of the Islanders, Las Vegas sports books elevated the Hurricanes to Stanley Cup favorites. Now that the Bruins have advanced to the final four, many are picking Boston to win its first Cup since 2011.

Regardless, the winner of the Eastern Conference Final will likely be favored over their Western Conference foe in the final two. First, they need to battle each other.

FORWARDS The Bruins have one of the best lines in hockey with Patrice Bergeron centering David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand, and they have depth scoring with David Krejci, Charlie Coyle and Jake DeBrusk. But the rest of the B’s forward corps lacks punch — unless sometimes-used David Backes can time machine his way into being a factor or Marcus Johansson can find his groove with his new team.

Boston’s top line will surely see a heavy dose of Jordan Staal, and if Carolina gets an effective Micheal Ferland back in the lineup it could tip the balance up front in the series. The Hurricanes are also hoping for major contributions from Andrei Svechnikov, who scored in Game 4 against the Islanders and looks no worse for wear after missing time with a concussion.

Still, Boston’s big line can dominate a game and a series on their own, and that gives the Bruins a slight advantage.

Edge: Boston DEFENSE The Bruins could be without Charlie McAvoy after his head shot on Josh Anderson in Game 6 of Boston’s series against the Blue Jackets earned him a disciplinary hearing. That would be a blow to the B’s defense even if it’s just for one game since McAvoy has played a team-high 24:46 per game this postseason.

Boston’s top four is serviceable, led by captain Zdeno Chara and McAvoy, and supplemented by gritty Brandon Carlo and offensive-minded Torey Krug. Beyond that, things are shaky — John Moore is coming back from injury, while Connor Clifton and Matt Grzelcyk are undersized and could struggle against Carolina’s fierce forecheck.

None of that really matters when comparing the two groups, however, because the Hurricanes defense is stacked. Trevor van Riemsdyk is out for the playoffs, but Haydn Fleury has filled in admirably. Jaccob Slavin has received Conn Smythe buzz for his play this postseason, and Calvin de Haan, Justin Faulk, Dougie Hamilton and Brett Pesce have all played their roles perfectly.

Edge: Carolina

GOALIES Tuukka Rask took over the Columbus series, allowing just 11 goals in six games and shutting out the Blue Jackets in the Game 6 clincher. He’s one of the top goalies in hockey and has one line missing from his resume: Stanley Cup-winning starting goalie.

All that said, Rask has struggled against the Hurricanes the past couple years. After a dominant first six seasons playing against Carolina (7-3-3 with just 25 goals allowed in those 10 decisions) and not playing them is 2016-17, he’s given up 12 goals in his last three starts against the Hurricanes. He won those two starts last season, 4-3 and 6-4, but was shelled in Carolina’s 5-3 win in December at PNC Arena.

Why the sudden struggles? Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen. Rask’s countrymen have each totaled four goals on the Boston goalie in those three games and have combined for 15 points — including four-point games for each in the 5-3 Whalers Night win earlier this season.

The Hurricanes have a decision to make between Petr Mrazek and Curtis McElhinney. Both have been solid in the postseason, but neither has Rask’s credentials. But the numbers put up by Carolina’s two top Finns make you wonder.

Edge: Boston SPECIAL TEAMS The Bruins power play has been tops among all postseason teams at 28.6% (and was third in the regular season) and their penalty kill is steady at 83.8% after being middle of the road in the regular season.

Compare that to Carolina’s special teams this postseason (10.5% PP, 75% PK), and this is a clear edge for the B’s.

Edge: Boston INTANGIBLES Everyone thinks of Boston as the Big Bad Bruins, but outside of Chara and Carlo — and Marchand’s antics — there’s not a ton of snarl on the roster. If Ferland returns (and is effective) and Jordan Martinook got some needed rest, Carolina should have no problem matching brawn with Boston.

On the coaching front, I’m done betting against Rod Brind’Amour. He outcoached Todd Reirden in the Washington series, and his Game 4 line shuffling left likely Jack Adams winner Barry Trotz with no answers in the sweep of the Islanders.

Bruce Cassidy is a good coach who is still looking for big-time playoff success, while Brind’Amour is pushing all the right buttons.

Edge: Carolina PREDICTION Other than the defenses (edge to Carolina) and special teams (Boston’s better), these are evenly matched teams. Many see the Bruins as the lone powerhouse remaining in an upset-laden postseason, while the Hurricanes have the feel of a team of destiny. It will undoubtedly be a great series, but Carolina has had Rask’s number. That will be the difference.

The North Carolina High School Athletic Association held its annual meeting and award ceremony last Thursday at the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill.

Owen, Cardinal Gibbons athletes honored by NCHSAA Annual meeting also addressed reclassification issues

By Shawn Krest North State Journal CHAPEL HILL — The North Carolina High School Athletics Association held its annual meeting and awards ceremony at UNC’s Dean Smith Center on May 2.

Among the winners honored at the event were four high school coaches from across the state.

Tarboro High football coach Jeff Craddock and Lake Norman High men’s lacrosse coach James Brugger were both named National Federation of State High School Associations Section 3 Coach of the Year.

Craddock led the Vikings to an unbeaten season and 1AA state title in 2017 and repeated as state champions again this year, bringing his career total to five North Carolina state championships.

Brugger’s Wildcats have been to the 4A state championship match three years in a row, winning the 2018 title with a 22-2 season and an upset over Middle Creek.

Two other coaches were recognized with the Toby Webb Outstanding Coach Award, given to one male and one female coach each year who have had an impact on the lives of student-athletes, and students in general, by encouraging them to succeed, helping to develop self-confidence, ambition, a sound work ethic, and other skills necessary for success in the students’ later lives.

Enka High softball coach Jennifer Kruk was the recipient for female sports, while Northwest Guilford High wrestling and golf coach Ron Bare won for male sports.

Kruk has coached at her alma mater since 2008, leading the Jets to two state titles. Bare has coached the Vikings for 29 years,

HALL from page B1 Here is a closer look at the newest Hall of Famers: Barnes: A standout lineman at Durham’s Hillside High School, NC Central and the professional ranks with the Baltimore Colts, New York Titans, San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos, Barnes is best known as an artist whose work often dealt with sports subjects, earning him the title of “America’s Best Painter of Sports.”

Bradshaw: Like Barnes, Bradshaw was also a product of Durham’s Hillside High who made his greatest contributions as athletic director for the Durham City School System, then as the president of the N.C. High School Athletic Directors Association and the state coaches association. He was the first African American to hold each of those positions.

Bridges: He developed lifetime hunting and fishing licenses in North Carolina, which have since raised $110 million. He currently runs the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports conservation efforts around the state.

serving as a football assistant before taking over wrestling and golf. His team won the 2019 Dual Team Wrestling state title.

Two student-athletes also took home major honors at the ceremony. Owen High School’s Chesney Cooper Gardner and Cardinal Gibbons High School’s Jalen Brooks won the Pat Best Memorial Trophies, given annually to the Female and Male Athlete of the Year, respectively.

Gardner, a senior, competed in three sports for the Warhorses. She won Conference Player of the Year in volleyball, All-Conference and First Team All-Western North Carolina in basketball, and is currently ranked first in the state in discus and shot put on the track team.

Gardner’s athletic accomplishments are all the more remarkable, considering she was temporarily paralyzed following a 2012 car crash. Then 11 years old, she suffered a broken hip and fractures to her pelvis and spine, causing doctors to fear she may never walk again.

Brooks also competed in three sports, winning Conference Defensive Player of the Year as a defensive back on the Crusaders football team. He also started at fullback, rushing for 17 touchdowns. He’s also a two-time state champion on the wrestling team, winning all 82 of his matches in his junior and senior years.

Brooks also joined the lacrosse team as a senior, playing the sport for the first time. He will go on to play football at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point.

Terry Sanford High School took home the big organizational honor, winning the 2018-19 Exemplary School Award, which honors the top overall school in the state in terms of “total program.” It takes into account athletic success, scope of athletic opportunities offered, facilities, community interest and involvement, and academics.

The big news from the NCHSAA’s annual meeting concerned

a potential change to classification. In her remarks to the organization, Commissioner Que Tucker announced that an expected realignment would be delayed by a year because the NCHSAA was looking into ways to add a fifth class of schools.

Currently, North Carolina Schools are placed in 1A, 2A, 3A or 4A based on a number of factors, including size. The organization would like to add a 5A classification, but current NCHSAA bylaws require it to have just four classes.

While the board of directors work on a proposed amendment to the bylaws that would pave the way for 5A, the group will also pursue subdividing 4A, adding a 4AA classification as a temporary solution.

Assuming the proposed amendment is completed and submitted, the entire membership would vote on it at next spring’s meeting. It would require support from three-fourths of the NCHSAA membership in order to pass.

Assuming it passes at that time, the board would begin working on a plan for realignment, which is expected to be completed in March 2021 and take effect in August 2021.

The membership also denied a reclassification appeal by Tuscola High School. Citing an 8.6 percent drop in enrollment and the closure of a feeder elementary school, Tuscola was seeking to drop from 3A to 2A. Principal Todd Trantham pointed out that Tuscola’s enrollment was now smaller than 13 schools currently in 2A. After the board unanimously rejected the request, citing the organization’s requirement of a 10 percent enrollment drop in order to reclassify, Tuscola took its appeal to the membership.

Needing a two-thirds majority to override the board’s decision, Tuscola fell far short. Just 44 of the 110 votes cast were in favor of reclassification.

Broadway: The recently retired coach who led NC A&T, NC Central and Grambling to Historically Black College and University national championships, he was also a standout defensive lineman during his playing days at UNC. Corrigan: An innovative Duke graduate who spent 10 years as commissioner of the ACC, in addition to serving as president of the NCAA and athletic director at Washington and Lee, Virginia and Notre Dame.

Earnhardt Jr: Racing’s most famous son, Earnhardt carried on the tradition of his late father by winning 26 Cup races, including two Daytona 500s. His name and outgoing personality helped him earn NASCAR’s most popular driver award 15 times during his career.

Gabriel: An accomplished football player and wrestler in his own right, the wrestling program he started at Appalachian High School in Boone never lost a match in its 13-year history, going an incredible 140-0. He later ran a successful program at Appalachian State.

Kantner: In addition to her work in the NBA, Kantner has worked every NCAA Women’s

Tournament since 1992, including 22 Final Fours.

Love III: Love has won 21 times on the PGA Tour, including his lone major championship in 1997 and his most recent title four years ago at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro at the age of 51. Before turning pro, he was a three-time All-American at UNC. Miller: The former UNC quarterback led the ACC in total offense in 1971 while guiding coach Bill Dooley’s Tar Heels to nine wins and a trip to the Gator Bowl.

Before his arrival in Chapel Hill, Miller was a three-sport athlete at Ayden High School.

McGeachy: A savvy sports marketer who wore a number of hats during his distinguished career, McGeachy coached basketball at Duke, was the longtime athletic director at his alma mater, Lenoir-Rhyne, and is a member of the North Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame.

Overman: A soft-spoken coach who won more than 1,000 games in three different sports during a remarkable 42-year career. Of those victories, 278 games were in football and 541 in baseball, mostly at Wallace-Rose Hill High.

CHARLOTTE — Joe Greiner always knew there was something special about his childhood friend Max Homa.

He knew it from the time he caddied for Homa in his first PGA Tour event in 2013, when Homa told him how nervous he was on the 72nd hole of the Frys. com Open, then stepped up to the tee box and striped a 300-yard 3-wood down the center of a tight fairway.

“I was like, ‘You didn’t even look nervous,’” Greiner told Homa at the time. “Right then, I was like, he’s just a little different than anything I have ever seen.”

Even after Homa fell on hard times and lost his PGA Tour card not once, but twice, and it became no longer “financially responsible” for Greiner to carry his bags, the caddie told anyone in the golf world who’d listen that his buddy had the resiliency to make it back and win a PGA Tour event.

Just watch, he’d tell them.

It finally happened Sunday as Homa got the breakthrough win — and the job security — he has been desperately seeking, shooting a 15-under 269 to win the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte by three shots and collect a $1.42 million prize. Now he’s 35th in the FedEx standings and will be playing in the upcoming PGA Championship.

His life has changed, just as Greiner knew it would.

“I knew he was a top-50 player in the world,” said Greiner, who rejoined Homa as caddie last fall. “I have seen a lot of good golf and see the way Max hits irons. So when he putts good, he has a chance.”

Greiner and Homa grew up together in Valencia, Calif., and have known each other since Homa was 6.

They regularly competed on the golf course.

Homa went on to play at Cal, where he won the Division I na-

tional championship in 2013.

When he broke onto the PGA Tour, he asked Greiner to be his caddie, a business/personal relationship that lasted for three years until Homa lost his card the first time.

“Honestly, it sucked to be not around him,” Greiner said.

Homa said that was an awful time in his life, as well.

There were times he hated his golf game, his attitude was terrible, and he would wallow in pity.

Emotionally, he reached what he called “low, low places.”

But he never gave up.

“I’m very proud I finally found a ladder and started climbing upward because it was getting dark down there,” Homa said.

That’s par for the course for Homa. His parents would tell him when he was a toddler that he methodically figured out how to climb the steps in their home despite repeated falls.

He wouldn’t give up.

“I’m tough,” Homa said. “I don’t know all about my golf all the time, but I’m tough. I was really happy with myself today. I told Joe on one of the holes I felt like I was going to throw up, but my hands felt unbelievable on the club.”

It’s not unusual for Homa to tell Greiner about his desire to vomit.

But the thing is, Greiner said Homa never shows it when he grabs a club. When there is a big shot to be made, “he mans up,” Greiner said.

To win his first tournament with Greiner on the bag was extra special.

They clutched hands together and embraced on the 18th green, a culmination of how hard they have worked to reach this point together.

Homa said Greiner has been “the rock” he needed.

“I’ve obviously been very lucky to have Joe with me,” Homa said.

“I’ve had some great caddies in my life, he’s the best, but he also does not let me wallow at all and he is the confidence boost I need. ... He kept telling me we’re around the corner from some great golf. To hear it from somebody who’s seen some fantastic golf, that was cool for me to hear.”

Said Greiner: “He did it.”

LACROSSE from page B1 how special a season the Panthers put together.

“I talked to the guys with our staff and in terms of what we did, it’s remarkable,” Torpey said. “I thought we grew a lot as a group and had a lot of guys that weren’t in the mix at this point last year step up and become major contributors.

“We set like 30 new season highs. A lot of good things. It’s always bittersweet to end it like that, but it was as good of a year as I’ve ever had coaching.”

High Point swept virtually all of the SoCon’s major awards with Torpey winning Coach of the Year honors, sophomore Asher Nolting (44 goals, 48 assists) being named Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season and senior Tim Troutner Jr. garnering recognition as the league’s top goalie.

Troutner won a school-record 12 games this season to increase his career total to 30 victories.

He also recorded the first shutout in program history in a 13-0 win against St. Bonaventure on Feb. 1.

The Annapolis, Md., native became High Point’s highest-ev-

er draft pick when he was taken second overall in the recent Major League Lacrosse draft. He also went 20th overall and was the only goalie taken in the entire draft of the new Premier Lacrosse League, which begins play next month.

“I don’t know what he’s going to do, but I’m happy for him,” Torpey said of Troutner. “He’s one of those special guys you don’t get to coach very often. It’s awesome. We’ve had 14 from our program picked, and it gives something the guys something to shoot for post-college.”

With the season now officially over for the High Point men, it’s up to the Panthers’ women to carry the flag for their school in the NCAA Tournament. They earned their automatic bid by winning the Big South Conference tournament against Winthrop on April 28 and will play a firstround game in Charlottesville, Va., against Navy on Friday.

North Carolina is also in the women’s bracket as the No. 3 overall seed. The Tar Heels will open their tournament at home on Sunday against the winner of Friday’s matchup between Johns Hopkins and Florida.

North Carolina tourism generated record visitor spending in 2018 with a total of $25.3 billion, Governor Roy Cooper announced this week. The 5.6 percent increase from 2017 was North Carolina’s largest percentage growth in travel and tourism spending since 2011. Additionally, tourism industry-supported employment topped 230,000 jobs to set another record for the state.

“Tourism is a major economic engine for our state bringing billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs,” Gov. Cooper said. “We’re proud to welcome visitors from our mountains to our coast and want even more people to know what a great place North Carolina is to spend their time and money.”

Gov. Cooper, who proclaimed May 5-11,2019, as Travel and Tourism Week in North Carolina, applauded the growth in direct tourism employment, which was up 2.2 percent from 2017. Payroll income grew 5.3 percent to top $6.3 billion.

The figures are from research commissioned by Visit North Carolina, a unit of the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, and conducted by the U.S. Travel Association. Other findings from the study showed state and local tax receipts from visitor spending rose 4.8 percent to more than $2 billion.

Dept of Insurance approves new provider network contracts for State Health Plan In push for pricing transparency and solvency for 700,000+-member State Health Plan, N.C. Treasurer Folwell claims a win for state employees and taxpayers

By Emily Roberson North State Journal RALEIGH — State Treasurer Dale Folwell and the State Health Plan announced this week that the Department of Insurance has given final approval to the State Health Plan Network Participation Agreement. The contract will be used

by Blue Cross NC to create a custom provider network for the Plan known as the NC State Health Plan Network.

Blue Cross NC is currently the Plan’s third-party administrator and, as such, contracts directly and indirectly with health care providers, intermediaries and provider organizations to provide, arrange for, or administer the delivery of covered medical services to Plan members. According to Monday’s announcement, Blue Cross NC will now be sending a new contract to medical providers across the state for them to join the Plan’s new network.

The new network is being developed as part of the Plan’s Clear Pricing Project (CPP) announced last year. Under CPP, the Plan will move away from a commercial-based payment model to a reference-based, transparent government-pricing model tied to Medicare rates.

Health care providers will be reimbursed for their services at Medicare rates plus a substantial profit.

The Treasurer’s office explained that under the new contract and network, the Plan will provide increased reimbursement payments to most independent primary care physicians, behavioral health specialists and many rural hospitals. Officials say that this strategy seeks to provide substantial support for those medical professionals that are key drivers for members’ health and, at the same time, saves taxpayers almost $258 million and Plan members almost $57 million.

The new contract is also designed to provide clear pricing for medical services “allowing members to consume health care instead of it consuming them.”

“This approval is an important step in getting state employees, retirees and taxpayers like them who fund this plan, the transparency and prices they’ve deserved for decades,” said Treasurer Folwell. “But for the effort of the staff of the State Health Plan, Blue Cross NC and, most importantly, Commissioner Causey’s staff at the Department of Insurance, this wouldn’t have been possible.”

Contracts that show what the Plan will pay for medical services are scheduled to be sent out by the end of the week. Medical providers will have until June 30 to return the necessary documentation to be part of the State Health Plan Network.

The new network will become operational on January 1, 2020.

As a division of the N.C. Department of State Treasurer, the State Health Plan provides health care coverage to more than 720,000 teachers, state employees, current and former lawmakers, state university and community college personnel and their dependents,

“This approval is an important step in getting state employees, retirees and taxpayers like them who fund this plan, the transparency and prices they’ve deserved for decades.”

N.C. State Treasurer Dale Folwell including non-Medicare and Medicare retirees.

Folwell has had the old system in his crosshairs for some time.

In 2018, the State Health Plan submitted a public records request to UNC Health Care for a copy of its contract and fee schedule with Blue Cross NC. In response, UNC Health Care provided more than 100 pages of redacted information with no visible prices. The state-owned hospital said that pricing information between Blue Cross NC and itself is confidential. Treasurer Folwell responded with a press release highlighting its absurdity.

“The taxpayers need to understand that the state treasurer cannot find out from the state hospital what the State Health Plan is paying for medical services for state workers,” said Folwell. “It’s beyond belief.”

Along the way, his efforts have been galvanized by strong support from one of the Plan’s primary constituencies: the State Employee’s Association of North Carolina (SEANC).

“Consumers can’t make informed health care choices without transparency in pricing,” said SEANC Executive Director Robert Broome as Folwell announced the new strategy last year. “Treasurer Folwell is keeping his promise to State Health Plan members and taxpayers to be open and honest about the cost of their health care, while remaining committed to keeping those costs down.”

C2 Anadarko now favors Occidental offer over Chevron deal Houston Anadarko says it plans to end its $33 billion takeover deal with Chevron in favor of a revised bid by Occidental.

Occidental’s offer is worth about $57 billion in cash and stock, including debt and book value of non-controlling interest. Chevron’s offer would be worth about $50 billion by the same metric. Last month Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway said it would put up $10 billion in financing for Occidental. Anadarko said its board determined Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s offer was superior. Under its deal, Chevron has until Friday to make a revised proposal or a new offer. Anadarko Petroleum Corp. will have to pay a $1 billion fee if it ends the deal with Chevron Corp. Shares of Anadarko edged higher before the market open on Tuesday.

Chevron’s stock declined slightly.

Iraq pursuing $53B megaproject with ExxonMobil, PetroChina Baghdad The prime minister of Iraq says he has instructed his country’s Oil Ministry to finalize an agreement with global energy giants ExxonMobil and PetroChina to lead a $53 billion megaproject to boost oil production. Speaking at a press conference Tuesday, Adel Abdul-Mahdi said Iraq will partner with the companies to pump desalinated seawater from the Persian Gulf into subterranean oil formations to raise well pressures and boost production. Iraq is producing oil at record levels, but top officials are targeting even higher output to meet federal budget projections and finance the country’s reconstruction after 16 years of war. AbdulMahdi said Iraq has already reached the principles of a 30-year arrangement with ExxonMobil and PetroChina, but said the details still need to be finalized.

China economy czar heading for Washington tariff war talks In ongoing and increasingly tense negotiations, China signals a desire to end trade conflict after exporters have struggled under tariffs

By Joe McDonald The Associated Press BEIJING — China confirmed Tuesday its economy czar will go to Washington for trade talks despite fears he might cancel after President Donald Trump threatened to escalate a tariff war over Beijing’s technology ambitions.

The announcement suggests President Xi Jinping’s government is putting its desire to end a conflict that has battered Chinese exporters ahead of the political need to look tough in the face of U.S. pressure.

The decision to have Vice Premier Liu He, Xi’s top economic adviser, take part in talks due to start Thursday might keep alive hopes the two biggest global economies could make peace as early as this week.

The Trump administration is pressing Beijing to roll back plans for government-led development of Chinese global competitors in robotics, electric cars and other technologies. Washington, Europe, Japan and other trading partners say those violate China’s market-opening commitments and are based in part on stolen

technology.

Trump’s announcement Sunday that he would increase tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese imports to 25% from 10% caused global stock markets to plunge.

Markets steadied after a Chinese spokesman said Monday that envoys still were preparing to go to the United States, though there was no word then whether Liu would take part.

On Tuesday, China’s main stock market index rose 0.7% and most other Asian markets also rebounded.

The American side is led by Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

A Commerce Ministry statement announcing Liu’s plans gave no indication whether other details such as the size of his delegation might change.

Washington and Beijing have raised tariffs on billions of dollars of each other’s exports, disrupting trade in goods from soybeans to medical equipment. Estimates of lost potential sales so far range as high as $25 billion.

Both governments have said negotiations were making progress, but Trump expressed frustration Sunday at the pace.

Mnuchin said Monday that Chinese officials “were trying to go back on some of the language” that had been negotiated in 10 earlier rounds of talks.

In response, a foreign ministry

“On the basis of mutual respect and equality, we will resolve each other’s legitimate concerns and strive to reach an agreement of mutual benefit and winwin.”

Geng Shuang, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman spokesman, Geng Shuang, said Beijing “is sincere in continuing consultations.”

Asked whether China took Trump’s threat seriously, Geng said similar situations had happened “many times before.”

“We hope the United States can still work together with China,” Geng said at a news briefing. “On the basis of mutual respect and equality, we will resolve each other’s legitimate concerns and strive to reach an agreement of mutual benefit and win-win.”

The decision to send Liu to Washington as scheduled shows China “urgently hopes to reach an agreement,” said Ma Hong, a professor at Tsinghua University’s School of Economics and Management.

“They couldn’t abandon it just because of a Twitter comment,”

said Ma. The conflict is testing how far Beijing is willing to go in changing a state-led economic model it sees as the path to prosperity and global influence — and how much power Washington will have to enforce any agreement.

The United States accuses Beijing of pressing foreign companies to hand over technology in exchange for market access, improperly subsidizing Chinese firms and stealing American trade secrets.

No details of the talks have been released. But private sector analysts say Beijing is willing to change details of its plans so long as it preserves the ruling Communist Party’s dominant economic role.

The Trump administration has imposed 10% tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports and 25% tariffs on another $50 billion. The Chinese have retaliated by targeting $110 billion in U.S. imports.

Trump said Sunday he also planned to impose 25% tariffs on another $325 billion in Chinese products. That would extend penalties to everything China ships to the United States, its biggest foreign customer.

A stumbling block in the talks is U.S. insistence on an enforcement mechanism with penalties if Beijing fails to keep its promises.

The Trump administration wants to keep tariffs on Chinese imports to maintain leverage over Beijing.

Chinese negotiators have balked at what economists say they might see as giving Washington too much control.

“It is not completely an economic issue,” said Ma. “After all, it concerns the rights of a sovereign country.”

World’s biggest beer maker looks to list shares in Asia Brussels AB Inbev, the world’s biggest brewer and the owner of brands like Bud and Stella Artois, is considering listing some of the shares of its Asian business on the Hong Kong stock exchange. The company, which is based in the Belgian town of Leuven, said Tuesday that the move would lower its high debt levels and allow it to consider more acquisitions in the region. AB Inbev is worth about 154 billion euros ($172 billion) and its Asian operations are reportedly worth as much as a third of that. It owns massive brands like Bud from its takeover of Anheuser-Busch in 2008, as well as Corona, Becks, and Fosters. It further established its dominance in the market in 2015 when it bought it next biggest rival, SABMiller.

Ferrari driven by surge in sales in China Milan Automaker Ferrari says its profits rose in the first quarter as demand for its luxury sports cars grew strongly, particularly in China. The Italian manufacturer, which has shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange, said Tuesday that its net profit grew to 180 million euros ($202 million) in the three months through March, up from 149 million euros in the same period a year earlier. It shipped 2,610 cars in that period, up 23% thanks in part to the popularity of its Ferrari Portofino model with a V8 engine. Deliveries were particularly strong in China ahead of the implementation of new emissions standards.

Demand also grew in the U.S. and Europe. Ferrari stuck to its earnings outlook for revenue to grow by over 3% this year.

GM Cruise autonomous vehicle unit gets $1.15B investment

By Tom Krisher The Associated Press DETROIT — A group of institutional investors is sinking $1.15 billion into GM Cruise LLC, the autonomous vehicle unit of General Motors.

Cruise announced the investment from a group led by T. Rowe Price on Tuesday and said it included money from GM, Honda and Japanese tech investment firm SoftBank.

CEO Dan Ammann said in a statement the investment gives Cruise deep resources to draw on as it develops and deploys self-driving vehicles.

Ray Wert, a spokesman for the GM unit, would not disclose

other investors, but the statement said the deal includes funds and accounts advised by Baltimore-based T. Rowe Price.

The investment brings Cruise’s valuation to $19 billion, the statement said. It comes in addition to $2.75 billion from Honda Motor Co. in October of 2018 and $2.25 billion from SoftBank in May of last year.

Tuesday’s announcement brings investments in Cruise during the past year to $7.25 billion, including money kicked in by the parent company, GM. The investment comes as automakers and tech companies seek help to cover the tremendous capital cost of developing autonomous vehicles with an uncertain date

for getting a return on their capital. The potential to make money is tremendous for companies that can cut the cost of transporting humans or delivering goods.

Cruise would not disclose how the investors would be repaid or its ownership structure. “We’re not speaking to the terms and conditions at this time,” Wert said.

Investors in startups typically get their money back through profit sharing, when the company is spun off with a public stock offering, or when it is acquired by another company.

When SoftBank made its investment last year, it bought a 20 percent stake in Cruise for $2.25 billion. So at that time the com-

pany would have been worth just over $11 billion.

Cruise is considered among the leaders in the race to deploy autonomous vehicles without human backup drivers. It has pledged to do that in an unspecified city sometime this year, but recently has backed away.

During its first quarter earnings conference call, GM CEO Mary Barra wouldn’t give a date for deploying vehicles without a person behind the wheel. “As soon as we’re able to launch without the driver, we will,” Barra told analysts. “So safety will gate us. We see huge opportunity. We think the path that we’re on and the way in which we’re developing this technology is critical.”

GM plans to double Cruise’s workforce to 1,000 employees this year, and it plans to spend $1 billion in 2019 to develop autonomous vehicles. Cruise spent about $200 million last quarter.

Shares of GM rose 1.6 percent to $38.70 in Tuesday morning training.

New Army uniform traces its roots to WWII NSJ Staff WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Army announced this weekend that it is adopting a new uniform with a retro story. The “Army

Greens” will be the new service uniform. This is the uniform worn by America’s “Greatest Generation” in World War II and was also known as the “pinks and greens” uniform.

The current Army Blues Uniform

will return to being a formal dress uniform, while the Army Greens will become the everyday business-wear uniform for all soldiers.

The Army Combat Uniform — also known as the Operational Camou-

flage Pattern (OCP) — will remain the Army’s duty/field uniform.

The uniform will be cost-neutral for enlisted soldiers, who will be able to purchase them with their annual clothing allowance. Female

soldiers will have the option to wear versions with a skirt or pants, and will also have additional shoe options.

The Army Greens will be available as early as the summer of 2020.

The mandatory wear date for all soldiers will be 2028.

The new uniform will come at no additional cost to the American taxpayer and will be made in the USA.

Air Force veteran’s books focus on kids dealing with everyday issues

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal A TRIO of young birds working through the challenges children face every day is the subject of two books written by William McDonald, an Air Force veteran who resides in Fuquay-Varina, N.C., with his wife, Ruth Ann. McDonald’s books revolve around the everyday struggles and adversities faced by a cardinal named Peanut, a blue jay named Grace and a robin named Joy. Learning to cope and make good choices are themes in both books.

“In my 26 years in the Air Force, I traveled all over the world,” McDonald said in a statement about the books. “I met thousands of families and spent my off-duty time at an orphanage in South Korea. Children from every background and socioeconomic status face similar adversities. They all deal with similar feelings and struggles, and they all need the right tools to cope and thrive.”

According to McDonald, he has five books written, including the two already published, and plans for 15 to 20 in total.

McDonald’s birds come to life on the page through illustrations

by Laird Atkinson — whose fulltime job is being a postal carrier.

The first book, “Flying Together: It’s OK, Really”, brings the three birds together in friendship, but only after a wise painted bunting named Hopper steps in to help the parents learn to set aside their differences. Hopper helps the parent birds realize that “we’re all birds, so what difference does it make what color our feathers are?”

McDonald said that he wrote

“Everyone tells their side and they find out that why they thought JJ was bullying them is not the reason he was doing it. ... He was doing it because he’s a mockingbird who is just dull.

And here you’ve got a blue jay, a robin and a cardinal with bright colors and this guy’s dull. He was bullying them because he was alone and didn’t like it.”

William McDonald

“Flying Together” while in Florida in 2012.

“I meditate every morning,” McDonald said. “I got done meditating, I picked up my laptop, went out on our screened in patio and three hours later I had this book written.”

“If you asked me why I picked birds, I could not tell you,” said McDonald. “Some people don’t understand, but I’m basically being channeled to write these books. I don’t know what I am writing until I am done.”

In the second book, “Forgiving Is the Right Thing to Do,” the threesome faces a bully and learns that things may not always be what they seem on the surface.

The bully is JJ, a mockingbird, who constantly gives Joy, the robin, a hard time. Joy keeps the bullying a secret, out of embarrass-

ment and for fear her friends will think less of her. Things escalate when JJ gets physical and pulls at Joy’s wing. Joy panics and knows she has to tell someone.

“Joy finally tells her friends and they go and talk to Hopper,” McDonald said.

Hopper talks to JJ and then JJ wants to talk to Peanut, Joy and Grace. When that happens, the friends learn why JJ has been bothering Joy — and the reasons are not what they thought.

“Everyone tells their side and they find out that why they thought JJ was bullying them is not the reason he was doing it,” said McDonald.

“He was doing it because he’s a mockingbird who is just dull,” McDonald said. “And here you’ve got a blue jay, a robin and a cardinal with bright colors and this guy’s dull. He was bullying them because he was alone and didn’t like it.”

“So, in the end, they actually got together and became friends and that’s why it’s called ‘Forgiving is the Right Thing to Do,” said McDonald.

“The birds face issues, but they are things children are facing today,” said McDonald.

McDonald says he is working on other book themes including adoption, abandonment, abuse, divorce, deformities, depression and suicide.

“It is so important that children in today’s world learn how to face and address complex issues that directly affect them on a day-to-day basis,” said McDonald in a press release for his second book. “Explaining them in a way that makes it easy for them to name and talk about allows them to feel safer about reaching out for help.”

Trump pardons former US soldier who killed Iraqi prisoner

By Kevin Freking The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump has pardoned a former U.S. soldier convicted in 2009 of killing an Iraqi prisoner, the White House announced Monday.

Trump signed an executive grant of clemency, a full pardon, for former Army 1st Lt. Michael Behenna, of Oklahoma, press secretary Sarah Sanders said.

Behenna was convicted of unpremeditated murder in a combat zone after killing a suspected al-Qaida terrorist in Iraq. He was paroled in 2014 and had been scheduled to remain on parole until 2024.

A military court had sentenced Behenna to 25 years in prison.

However, the Army’s highest appellate court noted concern about how the trial court had handled Behenna’s claim of self-defense, Sanders said. The Army Clemency and Parole Board also reduced his sentence to 15 years and paroled him as soon as he was eligible.

Behenna’s case attracted broad support from the military, Okla-

homa elected officials and the public, Sanders said. She added that Behenna was a model prisoner while serving his sentence, and “in light of these facts, Mr. Behenna is entirely deserving” of the pardon.

Behenna acknowledged during his trial that instead of taking the prisoner home as he was ordered, he took the man to a railroad culvert, stripped him, and then questioned him at gunpoint about a roadside bombing that had killed two members of Behenna’s platoon.

Behenna, a native of the Oklahoma City suburb of Edmond, said the man moved toward him and he shot him because Behenna thought he would try to take his gun.

Oklahoma’s attorney general first requested a pardon for Behenna in February 2018 and renewed his request last month. Attorney General Mike Hunter said he believed Behenna’s conviction was unjustified because of erroneous jury instructions and the failure of prosecutors to turn over evidence supporting a self-defense claim.
