NEWS BRIEFING

Federal grand jury investigating ballot fraud A federal grand jury meeting in North Carolina is weighing whether to recommend criminal charges stemming from the 2018 9th Congressional District election. The grand jury met in Raleigh to review election irregularities in the 9th Congressional District. The state elections board said the agency turned over extensive documents subpoenaed last month. Documents also were turned over by former Republican candidate Mark Harris. Harris had a narrow lead after November’s election before details emerged that his political operative in rural Bladen County collected ballots from voters.

Highway Patrol unveils new helicopters The State Highway Patrol unveiled the two new Bell 407 helicopters Tuesday at the patrol’s Aviation Unit hanger in Raleigh. The new helicopters are a part of the patrol but the majority of the missions conducted are for agencies other than the State Highway Patrol. The two new aircraft will be put into service immediately.

New group to support OBX parks A nonprofit group has been formed to support the three national parks along North Carolina’s Outer Banks.

Outer Banks Forever said in a news release that it will work with Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Fort Raleigh National Historic Site and the Wright Brothers National Memorial.

Gov. Cooper vetoes bill protecting abortionsurviving infants ‘Born Alive’ act would require survivors receive equal medical care

By David Larson North State Journal RALEIGH — Following the bipartisan passage of the “Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act” in both chambers of the N.C. legislature, Gov. Roy Cooper announced his veto of the bill. The bill requires that if an infant is born alive, despite any attempt to abort during pregnancy, there would be penalties for health care workers who denied the child access to health care or who took direct action to harm the child.

In his veto statement, Cooper said, “Laws already protect newborn babies and this bill is an unnecessary interference between doctors and their patients. This needless legislation would criminalize doctors and other healthcare providers for a practice that simply does not exist.”

The nonpartisan attorneys for the Legislative Analysis Division, whose job it is to provide legal opinions to legislators of both parties, believe that current law does not in fact mandate care be provided in these circumstances, saying in the bill summary, “There are currently no laws requiring an affirmative duty of care to preserve the life of infants who survive attempted abortions.”

Sen. Joyce Krawiec (R-Forsyth) and Rep. Pat McElraft (R-Carteret), the respective Senate and House sponsors of the companion bills, responded to the veto in a joint statement: “Caring for a living, breathing, newborn infant is too restrictive for Governor Cooper’s radical abortion agenda. We thought Democrats would agree that children born alive should be separate from the abortion debate, but it’s clear that they want the ‘right to choose’ to even extend past birth. This is a sad day for North Carolina.”

Islamic extremists accused of Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka

By Jon Gambrell and Bharatha Mallawarachi North State Journal COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — The purported leader of an Islamic extremist group accused of attacking Christian worshipers in Sri Lanka that killed over 320 people began posting videos online three years ago calling for non-Muslims to be “eliminated,” faith leaders said Tuesday.

Much remains unclear about how a little-known group called National Thowfeek Jamaath allegedly carried out nine large, nearly-simultaneous suicide bombings striking

churches and hotels on Easter Sunday.

The explosions — mostly in or around Colombo, the capital — collapsed ceilings and blew out windows, killing worshippers and hotel guests in one scene after another of smoke, soot, blood, broken glass, screams and wailing alarms. Victims were carried out of blood-spattered pews.

The U.S. said “several” Americans were among the dead, while Britain, China, Japan and Portugal said they, too, lost citizens.

Congressman’s death triggers election, glut of candidates

By Gary D. Robertson The Associated Press RALEIGH — U.S. Rep. Walter Jones Jr.’s long-held congressional seat in North Carolina was expected to be up for grabs soon, but it happened more quickly than most people anticipated.

Months after the Republican announced his 2018 campaign would be his last, Jones’ health faded. He died in February at age 76.

Jones’ death drew people from both sides of the aisle to praise his commitment to his constituents, his faith and his willingness to buck party leadership regardless of political consequences, such as when he opposed the Iraq War. It also drew more than two dozen candidates from four parties into an accelerated, off-year special election to replace him in the GOP-leaning 3rd Congressional District.

“No one will fill his shoes. He was an honorable, honest, good Christian man,” said Gary Weaver, the Republican Party chairman in Pitt County, about 80 miles east of Raleigh. “He didn’t get persuaded by money. He didn’t get persuaded by influence. He voted his conscience.”

Twenty-six candidates filed last month to run in a 3rd District race that’s unfolding a year earlier than had been expected. All but one are listed on ballots for primaries scheduled April 30.

Upcoming ICON Lecture will unpack the Mueller Report

Powell is no stranger to the inner workings of government and the law. She is a former assistant United States attorney who has acted as the lead counsel in over 500 federal appeals, 350 of them while she was an assistant United States Attorney and appellate section chief in the Western and Northern Districts of Texas.

“I’ve been a federal prosecutor for 10 years under nine different U.S. attorneys from both political parties,” Sidney Powell said in an interview with North State Journal, “and not a one of them would

put up for two seconds with what I’ve seen these people do.”

In addition to her vast prosecutorial experience, Powell is a past president of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers and the Bar Association of the Fifth Federal Circuit.

Powell is also a member of the American Law Institute and has now turned her attention to books, authoring a book titled “Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice.” The book digs into “true stories of strong-arm, illegal, and unethical tactics used by headline-grabbing federal prosecutors in their narcissistic pursuit of power.”

“Weissman is the lead villain in my book, ‘License to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice,’” said Powell. “which I self-published in 2014 because I saw this corrupt cabal of prosecutors break all the rules that I was taught to follow as a young prosecutor and took very seriously.”

“All they cared about was notching their belts with convictions. They took delight in destroying people’s lives, which is just not what a prosecutor is sup-

posed to do at all.”

Powell, a North Carolina native who was born in Durham and raised in Raleigh, received both her undergraduate and law degrees from UNC Chapel Hill.

The ICON Lecture Series is a nonprofit, Durham-Chapel Hillbased grassroots organization that brings lecturers from all walks of life to the Triangle area on a wide range of topics from national politics to education and personal responsibility to individual freedom. ICON stands for Issues Confronting Our Nation, and the group’s website says it is “committed to free speech, diversity of thought and improving the balance and quality of the Triangle’s political conversation.”

The lecture will be given at the Event Center located on the UNC campus at 200 S Elliott Road.

The start time is 7 p.m.

General admission tickets for Powell’s lecture “Mueller Report meets the Rule of Law” can be purchased in advance for around $27.00 and just over $11.00 for students and are available at eventbrite.com. Tickets can also be purchased at the door the night of the event for $30.00.

“This is a political food fight,” said Scott Dacey, who challenged Jones unsuccessfully in the three-candidate 2018 GOP primary. He’s not running this year. “In this environment, you just have to hope that something’s going to stick, that some of your message is going to prevail.”

The GOP’s field includes state Reps. Greg Murphy, Michael Speciale and Phil Shepard, as well as elected county leaders, physicians and military retirees.

At the campaign’s start, ex-Marine Phil Law, who lost to Jones in the 2016 and 2018 primaries, likely had the most name recognition in the Republican race. Party activists will also recognize Michele Nix, the recent vice chairwoman of the state GOP. Murphy, a Greenville urologist, topped the list of Republican candidate fundraisers in pre-primary campaign filings. Murphy, Kinston pediatrician Joan Perry, and consultant Jeff Moore of Raleigh were among those running TV ads to reinforce their conservative credentials and support for President

Donald Trump. He won the district in 2016 by 24 percentage points.

Lenoir County Commissioner Eric Rouse appears in a commercial firing at trap targets labeled as “Anti Gun,” ‘’Govt Healthcare” and “Green New Deal.”

“Trump needs allies to help shoot down these socialist, radical” agendas, says Rouse, holding a shotgun, asking voters to pick him “because in the House, I’ll have Trump’s back.”

In another campaign ad, Nix throws some distinctly Southern shade on New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Corte “She has the media, she has the followers, but bless her heart, she has some terrible ideas,” Nix says.

A dark horse GOP candidate may be Celeste Cairns, who drew the endorsement of the influential Club for Growth PAC. The Democratic field includes former Greenville Mayor Allen Thomas; current New Bern Mayor Dana Outlaw; 2016 U.S. Senate candidate Ernest Reeves; and Richard “Otter” Bew, a retired Marine colonel who served as a legis-

lative aide to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Thomas and Bew were Democratic fundraising leaders approaching the primary.

The Democratic hopefuls have praised Jones at candidate forums, saying they would aim to match his well-known constituent services if elected, according to Chris Hardee, the Democratic Party’s 3rd District chairman. Their attitude reflects the long history of Jones, who held the seat for 24 years, and of his father, Walter Jones Sr. The elder Jones, a Democrat, represented the region for 26 years until his 1992 death.

While Trump has strong 3rd District support, Hardee says it’s a moderate district where citizens want someone who’ll fight for region’s military bases and agricultural economy.

The special election raises the wild-card possibility that with the right general-election matchup or narrative a Democrat could pull an upset.

“This is our best chance — and maybe our only chance for a while, if we don’t win,” Hardee said.

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal CHAPEL HILL — “The special counsel found no collusion by any American in the IRA [Russian] interference,” said U.S. Attorney General William Barr at a press conference for the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s long-anticipated report on alleged Russian collusion.

That long-awaited report is also the subject of an upcoming ICON Lecture Series taking place on April 29 on UNC-Chapel Hill’s campus by Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor-turned-author.

Powell will be giving a talk entitled “Mueller Report meets the Rule of Law” that will include a look at what the report says and what the real picture is. She also says she will “explain how it differs from reality and what is missing.”

“I’ll pull a lot of pieces together for people of things that other people don’t know or don’t talk about,” Powell said of the upcoming lecture and says she will cover what comes to mind as she reads the recently released report.

ELECTION from page A1 ic candidates, one or two runoffs could be required in July before a September general election. To win a nomination outright, the leading candidate must get more than 30 percent of the votes. Otherwise, a party’s top two vote-getters advance to a runoff.

It’s one of two unusual North Carolina congressional races this year. The 9th District is having a do-over primary in May and general election as early as September, after last year’s race was marred by allegations of absentee ballot tampering.

The mostly rural 3rd District covers all or parts of 17 counties from the Virginia border and the Outer Banks to the Marine Corps’ Camp Lejeune and the medical hub of Greenville. A hurried campaign there means candidates are rushing to woo voters with catchy phrases and commercials.

Entering the final week of early in-person voting, roughly 2 percent of eligible voters in the three primary elections had cast ballots.

NCGA from page A1 A large majority of the public, 79 percent, are opposed to third-trimester abortions, as shown by a February You.gov poll. This number rises to 82 percent when they are asked about withholding care for viable newborns. Even twothirds of Americans who identify as pro-choice are against these practices, with 66 percent opposed to third-trimester abortions and 68 percent opposed to abortions the day before birth.

Due to this public opposition to these practices, Republicans in the North Carolina legislature were joined by a handful of Democrats in voting for S.B. 359. These Democrats will likely be pressured by their caucus to flip during any veto override vote and Democratic whips will keep an eye out for any further defections to prevent Republicans from gaining the required votes.

Pro-abortion groups are painting the bill as extreme and anti-woman. EMILY’s List, a political action committee that funds abortion-friendly candidates, released a statement denouncing the bill: “When women face challenging circumstances later in pregnancy they should be able to make decisions with their doctors and their families, instead of enduring a political stunt from Republican politicians looking to score points with their extreme base. This bill is just an attempt by politicians to keep women and their doctors from making their own health care decisions.”

“We do not need radical, extreme laws in our state,” Rep. Rachel Hunt (D-Mecklenburg), daughter of former Gov. Jim Hunt, said during floor debate, echoing the “extreme” accusations of EMILY’s List. “Remember one of the last times one was passed, HB2? Our state lost millions of dollars and everyone suffered. It’s time to trust women to make our own healthcare decisions. The women of North Carolina helped put each of us in office, and the women of North Carolina can take each of us out.”

Pro-life groups and Republican lawmakers believe it is Cooper and the Democrats who are being extreme on the issue.

“During Easter holy week when Christians around the world pause to remember the birth, sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper instead vetoed the life of innocent babies, created in the image of God,” said Tami Fitzgerald, executive director of N.C. Values Coalition, a prominent organization for socially conservative causes in the state. “He chose to support infanticide standing side-by-side with New York Governor Cuomo and Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and groups like Planned Parenthood and NARAL.” After receiving the governor’s veto message on April 18, S.B. 359 was sent to the Senate Rules Committee, where Republican legislative leadership will determine the bill’s potential next steps, including a difficult override fight.

Kohl’s wants more of your Amazon returns

By Joseph Pisani The Associated Press

NASA VIA AP

In this April 8, 2019 photo made available by NASA, astronaut and Expedition 59 Flight Engineer Christina Koch works on U.S. spacesuits inside the Quest airlock of the International Space Station. Koch will remain on board until February 2020, approaching but not quite breaking Scott Kelly’s 340-day U.S. record.

“I hope that me being up here and giving my best every day is a way for me to say thank you to people like her.”

Christina Koch

Koch set to break female space record

By Marcia Dunn The Associated Press CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — North Carolina product Christina Koch will spend nearly a year at the International Space Station, setting a record for women.

Koch, who graduated with degrees in electrical engineering and physics from NC State, will remain on board for about 11 months, until February — approaching but not quite breaking Scott Kelly’s 340day U.S. record.

“One month down. Ten to go,” she tweeted last Wednesday. She said it feels awesome having so much extra time in space and “a true honor and a dream come true.”

Koch knew before launching last month that her flight might stretch into 2020 and sought advice from Kelly as well as retired astronaut Peggy Whitson, the current record-holder for female space fliers.

Koch will break Whitson’s 288day record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman at the end of December.

“I hope that me being up here and

giving my best every day is a way for me to say thank you to people like her,” Koch said in a NASA interview broadcast Wednesday.

Koch said before launching, she and her husband listened to an audio recording of Kelly’s 2017 autobiography, “Endurance.” She said there was a lot of helpful advice.

An electrical engineer who’s worked in Antarctica, Koch will undergo medical tests during her stay.

More subjects and more diversity are needed, she noted, to better understand the effects of long-term spaceflight as NASA aims to return astronauts to the moon within five years.

“It’s almost turning into not that big of a deal to have somebody on board station for 10, 11 months because we’ve done it before, we’re good at it and we’re going to keep doing it,” she said.

Koch was supposed to become part of the first all-female spacewalking team, but instead ventured out a few weeks ago with a male crewmate. Only one usable medium spacesuit was available, and the two women on board both needed me-

diums.

Another NASA astronaut also will have an extended stay. Dr. Andrew Morgan will launch to the space station this summer for a nine-month mission — also considerably longer than the usual six months. The physician and Army officer will lift off from Kazakhstan with an Italian and a Russian on July 20, the 50th anniversary of the first manned moon landing.

Both Koch and Morgan are part of NASA’s Astronaut Class of 2013, the first to have a 50-50 split between women and men. Koch was raised in Jacksonville, N.C. and later attended the N.C. School of Science ant Math in Durham.

NASA announced the extended assignments this week. The primary reason for the schedule shuffling is to free up a seat on a pair of Russian Soyuz spacecraft for the United Arab Emirates’ first astronaut, Hazza al-Mansoori. He will spend just over a week in orbit this fall.

Russia still holds the world’s space endurance record. A Russian cosmonaut-physician spent nearly 15 months on a single mission aboard the former Mir space station in the mid-1990s.

Kelly returned to Earth in 2016 and Whitson in 2017. Both are now retired from NASA. North State Journal staff contributed to this report.

NEW YORK — Kohl’s wants you to skip the post office and bring your Amazon returns to its stores.

The department store chain said Thursday it will accept Amazon returns at all its 1,150 stores starting in July, expanding its nearly two-year test of the service from 100 stores.

Kohl’s sees the partnership with Amazon as a way to get people in its doors and maybe get them to buy something while they’re there. As for Amazon, it makes returns easier for its shoppers, who can drop off items at the stores without needing to pack it up in a box.

Shares of Kohl’s Corp. soared nearly 8 percent after the announcement.

It may seem like an unusual tie-up, but more physical retailers have been working with Amazon in the hopes that they can reach the online shopping giant’s millions of shoppers. Sears, for example, started selling its Kenmore-branded appliances on Amazon.com. And some clothing and shoe brands, such as Chico’s, J. Crew and Nike, have announced deals to sell some of their fashion on Amazon.

Kohl’s and Amazon have been working together since 2017, when Kohl’s started selling Amazon Kindles, Echos and other gadgets at some of its stores.

To boost sales, Kohl’s has also been shrinking its stores and renting or selling space to gym operator Planet Fitness and low-priced grocer Aldi, hoping that people working out or picking up bread will also make a stop at Kohl’s. There are signs the strategy is working: sales at established Kohl’s stores rose 1 percent during the holiday shopping period.

Analysts at Citi Research said the deal with Amazon is a “positive” one for Kohl’s, and likened the department store to a fish: “Better to be swimming alongside than in front of the shark,” the Citi Research analysts said in a note Tuesday.

Kohl’s said Tuesday that it won’t charge customers for their Amazon returns, even if Kohl’s has to pack items in boxes.

As part of the deal, Kohl’s is also giving Amazon the option to buy nearly 1.75 million of its shares over the next seven years at $69.68, according to a government filing.

That’s a nearly 5 percent discount off Kohl’s Corp.’s Tuesday’s share price, which was trading above $73.

Currituck County Chief Warrant Officer Jeff Brundage of the Coast Guard saved a 29-year-old woman after her car veered into a canal in Moyock.

Currituck County Fire and Emergency Medical Services said in a statement that the car began to sink in the five-foot-deep water.

The woman climbed through the sun roof, but she couldn’t swim and began to panic.

Brundage dove into the 50-degree water to save the woman.

Columbus County Federal authorities say they’ve reached a proposed settlement with Honeywell International Inc. and International Paper Co. for the cleanup of a former chemical plant in Riegelwood near the Cape Fear River. The companies have agreed to treat, store and dispose of soils and sediments contaminated by metals that include mercury and PCBs. The settlement says that from 1963 to 2000, the LCP-Holtrachem plant made chemicals such as sodium hydroxide, liquid chlorine, hydrogen gas, liquid bleach and hydrochloric acid at the plant.

EDITORIAL | FRANK HILL

NC primaries, Citizens United, IEs and the rise of conservative woman candidates What Citizens United has done in both primaries is make it possible for first-time candidates to have a chance at winning outright on the first primary election night.

WE ARE WITNESSING a revolution in modern American politics right before our very eyes here in North Carolina.

North Carolina is home to special elections for Congress to fill two vacant congressional seats almost simultaneously which has never happened before. North Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District, formerly represented by Congressman Walter Jones, runs from the Virginia border down east to north of Wilmington. The 9th District, which runs from Charlotte to Fayetteville, had to be rerun in the aftermath of the absentee ballot scandal uncovered in Bladen County in the 2018 elections.

State and local parties used to control who could or should run for any election because they held the purse strings and had the networks that could go door-to-door and get people out to vote for their preferred candidate.

For such a special election in the past, two, maybe three candidates might have filed to run to get the party’s nomination on either side. It made no sense to run without the backing of the party establishment because you wound up beating your head against a stone wall to no avail or good outcome.

Not any longer. Seventeen Republican candidates filed to run in the 3rd District. Ten filed to run in the Republican primary for the 9th District.

What has happened to allow such an outbreak of democracy to occur?

One important factor was the McCain-Feingold bill of 2002. More specifically, the much-maligned and misunderstood “Citizens United” Supreme Court case handed down in 2010 which rendered parts of McCain-Feingold unconstitutional and opened campaign finance to the masses rather than the chosen few.

One of the things Citizens United helped create was the independent expenditure (IE) campaign which could fund issue advocacy and educational efforts through 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations. The one major restriction was that IEs could not “coordinate” any explicit campaign activity with the direct campaign organization of the candidate, hence maintaining the “independent” status of both the IE and the campaign.

The 3rd and 9th District primaries are on fast tracks: The primary for

the 3rd District is next Tuesday, April 30 and the primary for 9th is May 14. If any candidate garners 30% of the primary vote, they win outright and go right to the general election on July 9 and Sept. 10, respectively.

What Citizens United has done in both primaries is make it possible for first-time candidates to have a chance at winning outright on the first primary election night.

Three conservative women are the beneficiaries of such independent support in the two primaries. Dr. Joan Perry of Kinston, a personal friend and a graduate of The Institute for the Public Trust which I run, was the first in either primary to receive such an endorsement from the Susan B. Anthony List, the major pro-life advocacy group in America today, which amounted to $75,000 of support in the 3rd District.

Leigh Brown, a realtor in Huntersville, was endorsed by the Realtors PAC in an independent expenditure effort in the 9th District which appears to be in the neighborhood well in excess of $1 million based on public ad buy records.

Celeste Cairns, an accountant in Jacksonville also running in the 3rd District, was endorsed by the Club for Growth which spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in 2016 to help newcomer Ted Budd, another Institute graduate, win the the 13th District primary and then the general election.

Without Citizens United, none of these newcomers would have been able to compete and possibly win. Since both special elections are being held at odd times for elections and the turnout is expected to be very low, a candidate who can garner perhaps as few as 6,000 votes can win 30% of the primary vote and avoid a runoff.

If you like more democracy and more nonpoliticians running for election, you can thank the Supreme Court for ruling on the side of freedom of speech and expression in the political world.

Citizens United has opened up the world of election to outsiders and newcomers like never before.

GUEST OPINION | STACEY MATTHEWS

What’s ‘extreme’ about wanting to protect a baby who survives an abortion? Nothing

There are currently no laws requiring an affirmative duty of care to preserve the life of infants who survive attempted abortions.”

AS I WATCHED the debate play out in North Carolina on the BornAlive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, I thought back to my own thoughts on abortion as a teenager and young college student.

I was pro-choice at the time. The arguments I’d heard from feminists made sense to me then. Her body, her choice, they’d say again and again.

This is about men wanting to control women’s bodies, they argued repeatedly.

Their talking points became mine when the issue came up. Among friends, family, classmates. When I’d exhausted all arguments related to “a woman’s right to choose” against those I knew were pro-life, my fallback was standard.

“What if once they’re born the babies aren’t wanted?” I’d ask. They’d cringe. Most of them would give up at that point. Some did not. “Do you hear what you’re saying?” they’d ask incredulously.

I didn’t. My arguments were done on auto-pilot. I’d seen enough favorable stories in the news on pro-choicers to know I had the arguments down pat.

It wasn’t until years later that it hit me: The pro-choice movement’s arguments always revolved around “women’s rights.” They never focused on the unborn baby. At some point, something clicked. Their lack of focus on the baby was deliberate, intentional. Over time, I began to think about abortion more in terms of the unborn child in various stages of development.

When their tiny body parts formed. When their little organs developed.

When their senses became acute. When they could survive outside of the womb.

When they could feel pain.

I thought about this, too: I started out the same way, went through the same stages of development. What if my mother had not wanted me?

After all of these considerations, I became pro-life and never looked back. Not once.

Seeing Democrats continue to go further left on this issue over the years has only strengthened my belief in the sanctity of unborn life. Naturally, that extends to babies who survive abortions attempts.

This is not an extreme position.

We saw the left’s radical dogmatism play out during the debate over the Born Alive bill. They said supporters wanted to “punish” the mother of the baby and any health care provider who didn’t attempt life-saving measures on a baby who survived an abortion. Only the latter part of that was true.

When he vetoed the bill, Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper said it was “needless” and that there were already laws on the books that addressed this issue.

It wasn’t true.

The nonpartisan Legislative Analysis Division looked at existing state laws and made this determination: “The deliberate killing of infants, including those who have survived an attempted abortion, is a criminal offense. There are currently no laws requiring an affirmative duty of care to preserve the life of infants who survive attempted abortions.”

Senate majority staff attorney Brent Woodcox put it another way. “An overt, intentional act is murder. Deaths of neglect [in these situations] are not covered by existing law,” he said in a series of tweets defending the bill. “[I]n this situation [where a baby is born alive from a failed abortion] the doctor has no duty of care for the baby who is not his patient. It’s not a crime at all” to fail to provide that baby standard medical care under current law.

The political left and right rarely agree on anything, but it floors me to know that the left can’t agree on providing standard medical care for newborn survivors of abortion. They are so fond of saying on legislation they favor that if a bill could “only save one child” we should be on board with it.

Strangely enough, the left doesn’t take that approach on Born Alive bills.

Just who are the extremists here?

NUMBER OF THE DAY | SCOTT RASMUSSEN

62%

SIXTY-TWO PERCENT of voters nationwide believe that Americans have more power acting as consumers than they do as voters. A ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that just 13% disagree and 26% are not sure.

That perception is shared across partisan and demographic lines. Sixty-four percent of Republicans believe Americans have more power as consumers. So do 63% of Democrats and 60% of independents.

Sixty-six percent of men hold that view along

with 58% of women.

The survey also found that 60% of voters believe businesses are more responsive to people’s needs than governments. Just 16% take the opposite view and believe governments are more responsive. Twenty-four percent are not sure.

A statue is removed from Notre Dame cathedral,Tuesday, April 23, 2019 in Paris. The man in charge of the restoration of the fire-ravaged Notre Dame cathedral says he has appointed professional mountain climbers to install temporary tarps over the building to offset potential rain damage.

The end of cathedral culture Any rebuilding should be a reflection not of an old France — but a reflection of the France of today, a France that is currently in the making.”

SHORTLY AFTER the tragic sight of Notre Dame Cathedral going up in flames in Paris, as crowds watched and sang “Ave Maria,” historian Victor Davis Hanson put our modern times in perspective.

He told Fox News: “It’s going to be very hard in our society to ever build a cathedral again, much less to repair them, because we don’t believe in what they represented. And it’s ironic, because we don’t like the past. We are at war with the past. We tear down monuments. We don’t build cathedrals.

We erase names.”

Fox’s Laura Ingraham underlined his point with a depressing quote from Rolling Stone: “Any rebuilding should be a reflection not of an old France, or the France that never was — a nonsecular, white European France — but a reflection of the France of today, a France that is currently in the making.”

What’s “in the making” is the world remade by the left, with a secular orthodoxy that’s mercilessly rigid. History is suspect. What has been called “Western civilization” is seen as white, patriarchal, superstitious and European — not “inclusive.”

Another horrible sign came in a much-reviled tweet from Library Journal: “Library collections continue to promote and proliferate whiteness with their very existence and the fact that they are physically taking up space in our libraries.”

Book burners, unite?

This came from an article by a librarian named Sofia Leung — armed with what they call “Critical Race Theory.” She claimed these collections are “white dudes writing about white ideas, white things,” and when collections of books contain this “so-called ‘knowledge,’ it continues to validate only white voices and perspectives and erases the voices of people of color.”

This is literally a war on the past. Anything that any “white dude” like Shakespeare or Thomas Jefferson or Thomas Aquinas wrote about the

human condition is useless; it continues to “validate only white voices.” Liberty, justice, religion, politics — anything written by our forebears is dismissed as proliferating “whiteness.”

Leung added that these collections “are paid for using money that was usually ill-gotten and at the cost of black and brown lives via the prison industrial complex, the spoils of war, etc.”

She offered no evidence for this claptrap. This “so-called ‘knowledge’” is to be accepted as the modern gospel, written by the gods of “diversity.”

The obedient followers of our dominant culture never look up in a cathedral to contemplate the transcendent. They crowd around TV and movie screens and take every cultural cue from a raunchy and repugnant Church of Entertainment.

As traditionalists, we wince and peek nervously between our fingers at the rot that Hollywood gives us, even in Holy Week, even as the ashes of Notre Dame are tossed in the wind.

One cable show featured a main character, an atheist, smearing Jesus Christ as “the mayor of Auschwitz.” Another had a male crime lord filming a commercial in a bustier and fishnet stockings and curlers in his hair, promising he was “bringing sexy back to Easter.” He was on a campaign to “Make Easter Great Again.”

There is not much room for optimism about our mass culture. Christians are called to be set apart.

Whether we pray in cathedrals or our homes or our cars, Catholics pray to the mother of Jesus — Notre Dame, “our lady” — that His miserable death is not in vain, that we “may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.” When churches are in flames and blasphemy tumbles in giggle fits from video screens, we feel the aching need for a Savior.

We need the hope that Easter brings.

Justice Kavanaugh and GMU snowflakes GEORGE MASON University’s Antonin Scalia Law School hired Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh to coteach a course this summer called Creation of the Constitution. The course will be held 3,668 miles away, in Runnymede, England, where the Magna Carta was sealed 800 years ago.

Some George Mason University students and faculty have become triggered.

One student told George Mason’s Board of Visitors, “It has affected my mental health knowing that an abuser will be part of our faculty.” Another said, “The hiring of Kavanaugh threatens the mental wellbeing of all survivors on this campus.” The Washington Post reports that a petition to fire Kavanaugh has gathered almost 3,500 signatures and has the endorsement of George Mason Democrats. GMU students have created separate forms for parents and alumni to pledge that they will not donate to the university so long as Kavanaugh is teaching.

Part of student demonstrations included defacing a statue of the university’s namesake George Mason by putting blue tape on his mouth and attaching anti-Kavanaugh signs. The university’s spokesman, Michael Sandler, gave The College Fix a mealy-mouthed excuse saying, “We allow students to dress up the statue, so this doesn’t violate any policies that I’m aware of.” He said the university “strongly supports freedom of expression and this would seem to fall into that category.” His vision suggests that freedom of expression includes defacing university property.

Youngsters with little understanding might be forgiven for their protest of a U.S. Supreme Court associate justice sharing his wisdom with law students. But faculty members cannot be excused.

Professor Bethany Letiecq, the head of the George Mason chapter of the American Association of University Professors, endorsed a call by UnKoch My Campus, another leftist group, for a congressional investigation of GMU’s law school’s hiring of Justice Kavanaugh as an adjunct faculty member.

Fortunately for civility, Dr. Angel Cabrera, the university’s president, said that there were no legitimate grounds for an investigation by the university. He threw a bit of pablum to the protesters by saying: “I respect the views of people who disagreed with Justice Kavanaugh’s Senate confirmation due to questions raised about his sexual conduct in high school.

But he was confirmed and is now a sitting Justice.”

Considering that a college president is also a politician, that statement demonstrates good judgment. According to The College Fix, after listening to the student protestors speak during the board meeting, Cabrera and Board of Visitors rector Tom Davis said they were proud of the students and appreciated that they spoke up and acted as engaged citizens.

That’s nonsense.

I receive many questions from people around the nation who are surprised by the happenings at GMU. As I have advised on numerous occasions, George Mason University erroneously earns a reputation as a conservative/libertarian university because of its most distinguished and internationally known liberty-oriented economics department, which can boast of two homegrown Nobel laureates in economics. Its Antonin Scalia Law School has a distinguished faculty that believes in personal liberty and reveres the U.S. Constitution — unlike many other law schools that hold liberty and our Constitution in contempt.

The rest of the university is just like most other universities — liberal, Democratic Party-dominated. The chief difference between my GMU colleagues and liberals at some other universities is that they are polite, respectful and congenial, unlike what one might find at places like University of California, Berkeley, or the University of Massachusetts.

GMU students and faculty may also be disturbed about what Justice Kavanaugh is going to teach. In the course, Creation of the Constitution, he will explain how much the Magna Carta influenced the founders of our nation. The 1215 Magna Carta limited the power of central government and it forced a reigning monarch to grant his English subjects rights. It contained a list of 63 clauses drawn up to limit King John’s power, resulting in making royal authority subject to the law instead of reigning above it. It laid the foundations for limited constitutional governments, an idea offensive to most leftists.

NATION & WORLD Putin, Kim to meet in Russia’s Trump to pay 3-day state visit to Britain in June far east on Thursday

By Nataliya Vasilyeva The Associated Press MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for a much-anticipated summit on Thursday, the Kremlin said, ending weeks of speculation about the meeting’s timing and venue.

Preparations for the meeting in Vladivostok, a Russia city on the Pacific, were held in secrecy because of North Korean security concerns, Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov said Tuesday.

Ushakov said the talks would focus on the standoff over the North’s nuclear program, noting that Russia will seek to “consolidate the positive trends” stemming from U.S. President Donald Trump’s meetings with Kim. Kim had two summits with Trump, but the latest in Vietnam in February collapsed because North Korea wanted more sanctions relief than Washington was willing to give for the amount of nuclear disarmament offered by Pyongyang.

Putin’s adviser added that the Kremlin would try to help “create preconditions and a favorable atmosphere for reaching solid agreements on the problem of the Korean Peninsula,” Ushakov said.

Ushakov pointed at a Russia-China roadmap that offered a step-by-step approach to solving the nuclear standoff and called for sanctions relief and

security guarantees to Pyongyang. He noted that the North’s moratorium on nuclear tests and scaling down of U.S.-South Korean military drills helped reduce tensions and created conditions for further progress.

Ushakov said that Putin-Kim summit’s agenda will also include bilateral cooperation. He added that Russia’s trade with North Korea is minuscule at just $34 million last year, mostly because of the international sanctions against Pyongyang.

Russia would like to gain broader access to North Korea’s mineral resources, including rare metals. Pyongyang, for its part, covets Russia’s electricity supplies and wants to attract Russian investment to modernize its dilapidated Soviet-built industrial plants, railways and other infrastructure.

In the meantime, Vladivostok has been seeing a number of unusually strict security measures. Maritime authorities said Tuesday that the waters around Russky Island, off the southern tip of Vladivostok, would be closed to all maritime traffic between Wednesday morning and Friday morning.

The island, which is home to a university with a conference hall, is seen as a likely summit venue.

Separately, local media reported that some platforms at Vladivostok’s main train station would be closed for several days, and that buses will be rerouted

from the train station Wednesday.

News website Vl.ru reported that municipal authorities undertook road works to make the entryway in and out of the train station less steep — presumably to allow Kim’s limousine to drive straight out from the platform.

Kim, like his father, avoids air travel and is likely to travel by train to Vladivostok, about 675 kilometers (419 miles) south of Pyongyang.

Earlier on Tuesday, North Korea confirmed the meeting in a terse, two-sentence statement.

North Korea has so far not gotten what it wants most from the recent flurry of high-level summitry between Kim and various world leaders — namely, relief from crushing international sanctions. There are fears that a recent North Korean weapon test and a series of jibes at Washington over deadlocked nuclear negotiations mean that Pyongyang may again return to the nuclear and long-range missile tests that had many in Asia fearing war in 2017.

North Korea announced last week that it had tested what it called a new type of “tactical guided weapon.” While unlikely to be a prohibited test of a medium- or long-range ballistic missile that could scuttle the negotiations, the announcement signaled the North’s growing disappointment with the diplomatic breakdown.

By Danica Kirka The Associated Press LONDON — President Donald Trump will pay a three-day state visit to Britain as a guest of Queen Elizabeth II in June, Buckingham Palace announced Tuesday — more than two years after Britain extended him an invitation for a pomp-filled ceremonial stay.

The palace said President Trump and first lady Melania Trump had accepted an invitation from the queen for a visit that will take place June 3-5.

Though many other American presidents have visited the monarch, only two — George W. Bush and Barack Obama — were honored with a state visit, which typically features ceremonial greetings, a horse-drawn carriage ride and a banquet with the queen at Buckingham Palace.

In addition to meeting with the queen, Trump will also hold talks with Prime Minister Theresa May, who is currently dealing with a political firestorm surrounding Brexit.

The president has said he gave May advice on how to negotiate Britain’s exit from the European Union, but she didn’t listen. May has said Trump advised her to sue the EU. Trump has also said May’s proposed Brexit deal, which calls for Britain to retain close economic and regulatory ties with the EU, would likely scupper the chances of a U.K.-U.S. free trade deal.

It hasn’t been announced whether Trump will address Par-

liament, an honor granted to presidents including Ronald Reagan and Obama.

May said in a statement that Britain and the U.S. “have a deep and enduring partnership that is rooted in our common history and shared interests.”

“The state visit is an opportunity to strengthen our already close relationship in areas such as trade, investment, security and defense, and to discuss how we can build on these ties in the years ahead,” she said.

The U.K. fits in with Trump’s plans to attend the June 6 commemorations in France marking the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Trump and the first lady plan to attend a ceremony in the naval city of Portsmouth to commemorate D-Day on the final day of his visit, the White House said.

Nations that took part in the campaign to liberate Europe from Nazi Germany have been also been invited to attend. They include Canada, France, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Greece, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Germany has also been invited in keeping with previous D-Day commemorative events.

After leaving Britain, Trump and his wife will travel to Normandy, in northern France, as a guest of President Emmanuel Macron to attend D-Day ceremonies at the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. While in France, Trump will also meet separately with Macron.

EXTREMISTS from page A1 ism in the island nation off the coast of India date to at least 2007, while Muslim leaders say their repeated warnings about the group and its leader drew no visible reaction from officials responsible for public security.

“Some of the intelligence people saw his picture but they didn’t take action,” said N.M. Ameen, the president of the Muslim Council of Sri Lanka.

Tension coursed through Colombo on Tuesday as the military took on emergency war-time powers, allowing them to conduct warrantless searches and detain suspects for up to two weeks before a court hearing.

Such powers haven’t been invoked since Sri Lanka’s bloody civil war, when people feared that unclaimed bags or debris could hide a bomb. On one commuter train Tuesday morning, panicked passengers shouted over one unclaimed piece of luggage until its owner was found.

Authorities have blamed National Thowfeek Jamaath for the attack. Its leader, alternately known as Mohammed Zahran or Zahran Hashmi, became known to Muslim leaders three years ago for his incendiary speeches online.

“It was basically a hate campaign against all non-Muslims,” said Hilmy Ahamed, the Muslim council’s vice president. “Basically, he was saying non-Muslims have to be eliminated.”

Zahran’s name was on one intelligence warning shared among Sri Lankan security forces, who apparently even quietly took their growing concerns to international experts as well.

Anne Speckhard, the director of the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism, said a Sri Lankan intelligence official approached her at a conference in February with a surprising question. She was worried about what she described as a violent, homegrown jihadi group that “would just disappear” when the government tried to crack down on them.

“The intel person kind of came up to me and said, ‘You know, we’re kind of worried about this new group and there’s some activity going. What do you think?’”

Speckhard told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “It just kind of blows my mind that’s who it was.”

As far as the planning, Speckhard noted that Sri Lanka was “a part of the world that developed suicide vests” during the civil war against the Tamil Tigers, a secular, nationalist group that once was the world’s top suicide attacker. But the style of Sunday’s attacks, targeting churches on Easter and hotels frequented by foreigners, followed that of al-Qaida and the Islamic State group.

“It is a simple attack that is well thought out,” Speckhard said. “I do believe well thought out is a product of being in touch with someone from the outside.”

That’s a feeling shared by the Austin, Texas-based private intelligence firm Stratfor.

“The degree of sophistication in the making of the bombs indicates that the attackers did in fact have help from outside Sri Lanka, which could have come via coordination with external militant groups such as al-Qaida or the Islamic State, from Sri Lankan fighters returning from battlefields in Iraq and Syria, or from a combination of the two,” a Stratfor analysis said Tuesday. “Clarity on the nature of such networks, however, will have to wait for the emergence of more details about the attacks.”

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the Sri Lanka attack via its Aamaq news agency on Tuesday. The group, which has lost all the territory it once held in Iraq and Syria, has made a series of unsupported claims of responsibility.

Stanley, the No. 29 recruit in the nation, joins three five-star signees — center Vernon Carey and forwards Matthew Hurt and Wendell Moore — and fellow four-star guard Boogie Ellis in the Blue Devils’ 2019 haul.

Wake Forest’s Hoard to remain in NBA Draft, leave college Winston-Salem Wake Forest forward Jaylen Hoard says he is staying in the NBA Draft and won’t return to school for his sophomore year.

Hoard announced his decision Saturday, saying he is “excited to continue my journey at the next level.” Hoard averaged 13.1 points and a team-best 7.6 rebounds as a freshman for the Demon Deacons, notching seven double-doubles. He is the fourth Wake Forest player in three years to begin his career in pro basketball early.

Gunn (R-Alamance) brought it to the Senate.

“This is a great economic move for public universities and all of the college sports fans in our state,” Gunn said.

Obviously, alcohol sales at athletic events would open up a new revenue stream for colleges.

“I think our AD brethren would suggest somewhere between $200,000 and $300,000 every year,” NC State athletic director Debbie Yow said in a 2017 interview with The Associated Press.

Schools around the country that have already taken the step of green lighting beer and wine at games would indicate that Yow’s estimate is on the conservative side.

CBS found that West Virginia football brought in $600,000 from beer and wine sales in 2016.

In 2015, athletic director Shane Lyons told The New York Times, “approximately $500,000 a year just in beer comes back to us.”

West Virginia’s football stadium is approximately the same capacity as NC State’s Carter-Finley Stadium. A similar influx of cash from beer sales would represent an increase to the school’s entire athletics revenue stream of more than half a percentage point.

That doesn’t include money coming from sales of wine, al-

FAYETTEVILLE — Back in 1996, an architect named Robert Marvin was hired to devise a revitalization plan for Fayetteville’s decaying downtown area.

The centerpiece of his design was a controversial 60-foot high mound to be built using dirt dredged from the creation of several manmade lakes.

“Marvin’s Mound,” as it derisively came to be known, never got off the drawing board.

It took more than two decades for a new downtown revitalization plan to be put into place. But last Thursday, it finally became a reality.

And, surprisingly, it also centered around a mound.

This one, however, rises less than a foot above the ground and is located 60 feet, 6 inches from home plate in Segra Stadium, the new state-of-the art home of the Carolina League’s Fayetteville Woodpeckers.

“There are really no words to describe this,” said community leader George Breece, a lifelong Fayetteville resident, looking around the 5,200-seat ballpark filled with fans for its debut between the Woodpeckers and Carolina Mudcats.

“A downtown stadium has been a dream for at least two decades. To see this come to fruition means a lot to me. I’m glad I lived long enough to see it.”

The Woodpeckers are a Class A affiliate of the Houston Astros, owned and operated by the major league franchise.

Although they are the first minor league team since 2000 to call Fayetteville home, the Woodpeckers’ arrival is actually the continuation of a long, storied relationship with professional baseball.

Babe Ruth hit his first home run there during spring training while playing for the International League’s Baltimore Orioles. Jim Thorpe lost his amateur status and subsequently an Olympic medal because he failed to use an assumed name while playing ball there one summer.

Dozens of future major leaguers came through the city playing both for and against previous affiliated minor league incarnations.

That pipeline dried up when the most recent entry, the Cape Fear Crocs, were sold and moved to Lakewood, N.J. Subsequent efforts to attract another team were thwarted, in large measure because Fayetteville’s old stadium did not meet minimum standards set by the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues.

“This area has a rich tradition of baseball,” said Astros president Reid Ryan. “It just never had a world-class facility.”

The idea for a downtown ballpark first came about around the same time as the Marvin Plan. A site was even selected for construction. But when leaders representing the city and Cumberland County failed to agree on how the project would be financed — after years of debate — a jail was built on the land instead.

It wasn’t until 2016 when the Astros began looking for a place to put their Class A team as part of a move from the California League that also brought the Down East Wood Ducks to Kinston, that talk of a new stadium began to heat up again.

The biggest selling point was that the Astros were willing to sign a 30-year lease on the ballpark, guar-

NC colleges moving closer to allowing alcohol sales The bill would help athletic departments boost revenue and could positively impact safety at games

By Shawn Krest North State Journal FANS AT NC State or UNC games may be able to celebrate big plays — or drown their sorrows — with an adult beverage in the near future.

The North Carolina House of Representatives passed House Bill 389 earlier this month, which would allow the state’s public colleges and universities to allow alcohol sales at stadiums, athletic facilities and arenas located on school property.

The bill specifically excludes mixed drinks, but it opens the door for beer and wine sales at college games in the future. It first needs to be passed by the N.C. Senate, then each individual college will need to decide how it will handle the freedom to offer alcoholic beverages.

“We’ve heard from law enforcement, administrators and students and believe this is a positive step for safety and economic growth,” state Rep. John Bell (R-Wayne) said.

Bell introduced the bill in the house, while Majority Whip Rick

Dan Hughes: The WNBA’s Seattle Storm coach has been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer that was discovered after a recent emergency appendectomy. Hughes, 64, said in a video released by the team Friday that a treatment plan is still being finalized by doctors at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle but that he is expected to undergo surgery before the new season begins in late May. Hughes was an interim coach and assistant with the sincefolded Charlotte Sting — one of the WNBA’s eight original teams — in 1999.

Palm Beach County Judge Leonard Hanser accepted arguments by Kraft’s attorneys that releasing the video could harm chances for a fair trial on misdemeanor prostitution charges, and ruled that it shouldn’t be handed to the news media as a public record until either a jury is seated, a plea agreement is reached or the state drops the case. Kraft has pleaded not guilty.

Hatchell resigns after findings from program review The Tar Heels’ women’s basketball coach had held the position for 33 years, winning a national title in 1994

By Aaron Beard The Associated Press CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina women’s basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell had built a Hall of Fame career over more than three decades with the Tar Heels, including a national championship and becoming the Atlantic Coast Conference’s all-time winningest coach.

That tenure ended with her resignation after a program review found concerns over “racially insensitive” comments and pressuring players to compete through medical issues.

The school announced the 67-year-old Hatchell’s resignation late last Thursday, along with findings from that external review conducted this month by a Charlotte-based law firm. Among the issues: a “breakdown of connectivity” between Hatchell and the players after 28 interviews of current players and program personnel.

The was enough to end Hatchell’s time in Chapel Hill, which began in 1986.

“The university commissioned a review of our women’s basketball program, which found issues that led us to conclude that the program needed to be taken in a new direction,” athletics director Bubba Cunningham said in a statement. “It is in the best interests of our university and student-athletes for us to do so. Coach Hatchell agrees, and she offered her resignation today. I accepted it.”

Hatchell — who has 1,023 victories, with 751 coming in 33 seasons at UNC along with the 1994 NCAA title — and her coaching staff had been on paid administrative leave since April 1. At the time, UNC announced the review amid player concerns to “assess the culture” of the program.

“The university will always hold a special place in my heart,” Hatchell said in a statement. “The game of basketball has given me so much, but now it is time for me to step away.”

In its release, UNC said the review found “widespread support” among three areas of concern, including the Hatchell-players connection.

The first centered on the racially insensitive comments, compounded by her failure to respond “in a timely or appropriate manner” when confronted by players or staff.

“The review concluded that

North Carolina women’s basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell resigned after an external review found she had made “racially insensitive” comments and applied “undue influence” regarding players’ ability to compete through medical issues.

Hatchell is not viewed as a racist,” the school said, “but her comments and subsequent response caused many in the program to believe she lacked awareness and appreciation for the effect her remarks had on those who heard them.”

Regarding injury concerns, the review reported frustration from players and medical staff with Hatchell’s “perceived and undue influence,” though medical staffers “did not surrender to pressure to clear players” before they were ready.

Wade Smith, Hatchell’s attorney, had defended her earlier this month by saying players had misconstrued comments she made as racist and that she wouldn’t try to force someone to play without medical clearance. That came after The Washington Post, citing unnamed parents of players, said complaints had been made about inappropriate racial comments and players being pushed to play while injured.

In a statement to The Associated Press at the time, Smith said Hatchell “does not have a racist bone in her body” and “cares deeply about (players’) health and well-being.”

Hatchell, who reached 1,000

wins in 2017, trailed only Tennessee’s Pat Summitt, Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer and Connecticut’s Geno Auriemma in women’s Division I career victories. But there had been difficulties in recent years.

She missed the 2013-14 season while battling leukemia and undergoing chemotherapy. The program also spent several seasons under the shadow of the school’s multiyear NCAA academic case dealing with irregular courses featuring significant athlete enrollments across numerous sports, a case that reached a no-penalty conclusion in October 2017.

UNC returned to the NCAA Tournament this year for the first time since 2015 after upsets of top-ranked Notre Dame and No. 7 NCState on the road, though her contract was set to expire after next season.

Hatchell said she will still support the school, including raising money for UNC’s Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and advocating for gender equity issues.

“While this is a bittersweet day, my faith remains strong,” Hatchell said. “After the fight of my life with leukemia, I count every day as a blessing.”

“The game of basketball has given me so much, but now it is time for me to step away.”

BASEBALL from page B1 anteeing it will have a tenant at least through the 2049 season.

“We wanted to make a long-term commitment,” the Astros’ Ryan said. “What that does is gives the people of this city and their leaders an assurance that we’re not going anywhere. It also makes people want to do things right.”

Tucked between Fayetteville’s Amtrak station and the historic Prince Charles Hotel, which is being renovated to become high-end apartments, Segra Stadium has all the bells and whistles of most modern minor league stadiums — including a large video board in left field, a vibrant beer deck in right, LED lighting and several luxury boxes.

The $40 million facility will eventually be surrounded by a hotel and retail complex still under construction.

“What I love about baseball is that every stadium has its own unique character,” Ryan said. “With the train tracks, Hay Street and how funky this piece of property is, it’s going to be a neat little experience when people come out there.”

Although the ballpark is home for a minor league franchise, Fayetteville mayor Mitch Colvin said it is a major league addition to a city rapidly outgrowing a once-seedy past.

“It’s been an amazing journey, and this is an exciting time,” Colvin said. “You see by the enthusiasm of the fans that the city was waiting for this. I think the citizens realize now that the investment was good and this is a nice entertainment source.”

With the possible exception of the two Army paratroopers that missed their target and nearly landed in the path of an oncoming train during a windy pregame ceremony, those in attendance at Thursday’s opener seemed to enjoy themselves.

The Woodpeckers lost 7-5, but leadoff hitter Bryan De La Cruz went into the books as having recorded the first hit in stadium history. That’s no small distinction, considering that the first hit in Fayetteville’s former ballpark, J.P. Riddle Stadium, came off the bat of a Gastonia Rangers prospect named Sammy Sosa.

Because it took the better part of two years to clear the land and complete construction of Segra Stadium, the team now playing in it was forced to spend last season going by the name the Buies Creek Astros in a temporary home at Campbell University.

That wait was nothing, Woodpeckers season ticket holder Mary Mercer said, compared to the two decades it took for Fayetteville to get its downtown mound and a new team to pitch from it.

“I never really knew how much I missed it until it came back,” said Mercer as she surveyed the opening night scene from her seat behind home plate. “I kind of got a little emotional when I got here tonight.

To be able to just sit here and enjoy it is really good.”

Former UNC Golfer Kevin O’Connell takes long path to Masters The 30-year-old barely missed the cut at Augusta and will play in the U.S. Open thanks to his win at the USGA Mid-Amateur in Charlotte

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal YOU’RE STANDING over a 4-foot putt on the 18th green and just to make things interesting, you tell yourself, “This one is to win the Masters.”

Every aspiring golfer, regardless of skill level, has done it a least once.

Kevin O’Connell is no exception.

The only difference is that when he did it two weeks ago, he was actually standing on the 18th green at Augusta National, playing in the Masters. While his 4-footer for par was only to make the cut and play on the weekend rather than the win, it sure felt like the green jacket was on the line to the 30-year-old North Carolina graduate.

“That’s a big stage. I’m not going to lie. That was probably the biggest stage I’ve ever been on, the 18th green with a chance to make the cut,” said O’Connell, who played out of Cary’s Prestonwood Country Club before a recent move to Florida.

“There are scoreboards literally everywhere you look at Augusta, so I was well aware of what was going on. I certainly had the feeling that if I parred 18, I was going to be in.”

Although the putt slid by the hole on the low side, leaving him at 3-over for the tournament and one shot shy of the cut line, O’Connell’s first Masters experience was anything but a disappointment.

Kevin O’Connell hits a drive on the second hole during the first round at the Masters on April 11.

For one thing, he got to play several rounds on one of the most famous courses in the world alongside some of the best golfers in the world. In addition to including first- and second-round playing partners Shane Lowry and Mike Weir, the 2003 Masters champion, he also played practice rounds with the likes of top-10 players Matt Kuchar and Bryson DeChambeau.

He also got to spend the week at the famed Crow’s Nest atop Augusta National’s historic clubhouse and collected plenty of souvenirs — including a set of crystal glasses for making an eagle on the par-5 15th hole on Friday.

“There’s no other feeling like it that I’ve had in golf so far,” he said.

O’Connell admitted that there were several times both before and during the tournament that he had to pinch himself to realize he was actually playing in the Masters.

The fact that his trip to Augusta entailed much more of a journey than the drive down stately Magnolia Lane made the moment all the more meaningful.

The 2008 ACC Freshman of the Year had already taken one shot at playing golf professionally before regaining his amateur status and getting a “real” job, first as a financial analyst for current and former UNC athletes, then as a representative of a golf equipment company.

By last fall, the itch to play full-

time had returned. He decided that if he was ever going to try to turn pro again, it was now or never.

He was all set to fly to France to attempt to qualify for the European Tour in September, but that plan changed abruptly when a week before he was scheduled to leave, he won the USGA Mid-Amateur championship at Charlotte Country Club.

The Mid-Am is open to post-college amateur golfers with a handicap of 3.4 or lower. Because the winner is given an automatic exemption to the Masters and U.S. Open, O’Connell decided to delay his return to pro status for at least the next few months.

“It kind of turned my whole plan

on its head,” he said. “It was definitely a welcome adjustment.

“I’m going to play in the U.S. Open and if I’m still playing well, maybe I can get the Mid-Am spot on the Walker Cup team. At that point, I’ll make a decision on whether I want to give qualifying a try again.”

No matter what happens, he’ll always have Augusta.

“It’s funny because having been to the tournament and having watched it on TV for as long as I can remember, you see all the good shots and you think the golf course is super gettable,” O’Connell said.

“But when you’re out there with a club in your hand, you realize that it is a difficult place to play. It’s an interesting feeling you get when you’re hitting those shots, especially around Amen Corner, for the first time.”

Augusta National got the best of this particular first-timer in Round 1 on Thursday, in which O’Connell shot a 5-over 77. He seemed much more comfortable in Round 2 on Friday, bouncing back from bogeys on the first two holes with five birdies in a nine-hole stretch ending at Amen Corner.

He then drained a 15-foot putt for the eagle on 15 that put him in position to make the cut until his next-to-last stroke three holes later.

“I would say maybe a little pressure got in the way, but it was more like a combination of things — the situation, the read and a little bit the stroke,” O’Connell said, adding that he hoped to one day be in position to have another meaningful putt at the Masters.

“There’s no question it was the experience of my lifetime to this point,” he said. “This was my first and, obviously, I hope it was not my last.”

Duke quarterback Daniel Jones, pictured during the Blue Devils’ Pro Day on March 26, has climbed up draft boards and could even be a top-10 pick.

NFL Draft beckons two dozen from NC Plenty of players with ties to the state will be selected during the three-day event

By Shawn Krest North State Journal THE NFL DRAFT begins on Thursday, and more than two dozen players with North Carolina connections will be waiting by the phone during the three-day event to see if they get chosen.

Whether they get to try on a hat during Thursday night’s first round or see their name go by on the crawl at the bottom of the screen on Saturday, here’s who has the best shot to get selected (based on NFL.com’s draft rating).

Draft grade 6.00 to 6.50 (Should be instant starter) Dexter Lawrence, Clemson, DT, 6.19 — The Wake Forest native is the No. 17 prospect and the No. 4 defensive tackle. He’s talented, but his size doesn’t fit what many teams are trying to do on their defensive lines. Mock drafts have him going as high as 19th in the first round and as low as early in round two.

Garrett Bradbury, NC State, C, 6.12 — He’s considered the best interior lineman in the draft and wowed scouts at the NFL combine with his speed. He’s projected for the top 20 in the first round, although some mocks have him slipping to the early second.

Draft grade 5.50 to 5.99 (Chance to be a starter) Daniel Jones, Duke, QB, 5.81 — One of the biggest wild cards in the draft. Giants GM Dave Gettleman is believed to be in love with the idea of having him replace Eli Manning. Other GMs aren’t as convinced. Mocks have him going as high as No. 5 and as low as the 20s, but he seems a likely first-rounder.

Nate Davis, Charlotte, G, 5.71 — The 316-pounder played right guard for his first three years before switching to right tackle as a senior. He’s expected to go in the third round. He’s strong and athletic but expected to need some time to develop.

Ryan Finley, QB, NC State, 5.65 — Not considered an elite arm in the draft, Finley has impressed in every other area, including speed — running a 40 time that ri-

ALCOHOL from page B1 cohol sales at basketball or other events, or income that could potentially come from sponsorship and advertising deals with beer and wine companies. For instance, New Belgium brewing company sponsored an end zone pavilion at Colorado State football games in a deal that brought the university $4.3 million in additional income. A similar arrangement, coupled with in-stadium beer sales, would boost NC State’s athletics revenue stream by more than 5.5 percent.

Texas and Ohio State, both of whom play in much larger stadiums with capacities over 100,000, reported much higher revenue totals from alcohol. Texas made $1.8 million in 2016 and more recent figures show that the Longhorns bring in $530,000 from the sale of alcohol at every home game. Ohio State made $1.35 million in 2017.

In addition to increasing revenue, in-stadium alcohol sales would likely reduce the number of “pass-outs” at Carter-Finley — fans who leave the stadium at halftime, presumably to contin-

valed Duke’s Jones — and intelligence. Supposedly, his Wonderlic score is tops among QB prospects.

He’s considered a second- or third-rounder.

Germaine Pratt, LB, NC State, 5.63 — Another Wolfpack player who helped himself at the combine, Pratt has potential but needs development, in the eyes of many NFL personnel people. That means he could go virtually any time between the third and sixth rounds, according to mock drafts.

Kelvin Harmon, WR, NC State, 5.55 — Ryan Finley’s favorite target didn’t have an outstanding combine, but his performance on the field will get him chosen fairly early — the second or third round, according to most mocks.

Bryce Love, RB, Stanford, 5.53 — Like Lawrence, Love is a Wake Forest resident who went elsewhere to play in college. A Doak Walker award winner as a junior, Love suffered an ACL tear during his senior season. Mocks have him going between the fourth and sixth rounds.

Phil Haynes, G, Wake Forest, 5.50—The Deacs lineman has been on several team visits during the pre-draft process, but, despite his high draft rating, he’s not a sure thing to be selected. Mocks have him in rounds six or seven, and CBSSports.com has him going undrafted.

Draft grade 5.20 to 5.49 (NFL backup or special teams potential) Jalin Moore, RB, App State, 5.38 — The Shelby product missed half of his senior year with an ankle injury. He may be the state’s best chance at a Mr. Irrelevant since Duke’s Fred Zirkie in 1969.

He’s slotted for the 30th pick of the seventh round in one mock draft, undrafted in the other.

Mark Fields, CB, Clemson, 5.37 — The Charlotte native played his college ball at Clemson. His father was a Pro Bowl linebacker.

CBSSports has him going as high as the fourth round, while other mocks have him going in the seventh.

Cole Holcomb, LB, North Carolina, 5.36— The former walk-on developed into UNC’s highest-rated prospect in the draft after leading the Tar Heels in tackles three straight years. He could go as high as the sixth round or not get selected at all based on the seven-round mock drafts.

Oli Udoh, T, Elon, 5.35 — The Fayetteville native started at right tackle all four seasons with the Phoenix. His size (6-foot-5, 323 pounds) impresses scouts, but he’s considered a project. He could go anywhere between the fifth and seventh rounds.

Tyler Jones, G, NC State, 5.30 — The senior spent time at left guard and right tackle before taking over the left tackle spot for three years. He’s listed as a potential sixth-rounder in some mocks but is undrafted in others.

Malik Carney, Edge rusher, North Carolina, 5.24 — Listed as a sixth-rounder in the NFL.com mock draft, he went unselected in CBSSports.com’s mock. He had 0.81 sacks per game in his senior year, but his four-game suspension kept him from being among the national leaders.

Draft grade 5.01 to 5.19 (Better than average chance to make roster) Anthony Ratliff-Williams, WR, North Carolina, 5.12 — The bigplay receiver and return man came out after his junior year, but he’ll need a little luck to get drafted.

NFL.com has him going one spot before Mr. Irrelevant, while he’s not chosen in the other mocks.

Jakobi Meyers, WR, NC State, 5.09 — The former quarterback was a 1,000-yard receiver and firstteam All-ACC as a senior. CBS has him as a fifth-rounder.

Draft grade 5.00 (50/50 chance to make NFL roster) Greg Dortch, WR, Wake Forest, 5.00 — The redshirt sophomore rewrote the Wake record books as a return man and receiver. CBS has him going to New England in the seventh round.

Draft grade 4.75 to 4.99 (Should be in an NFL training camp) Daniel Helm, TE, Duke, 4.99 — Undrafted Joe Giles-Harris, LB, Duke, 4.99 — Possible fifth-rounder Clifton Duck, CB, App State, 4.96 — Undrafted Garrett McGhin, T, ECU, 4.95 — Undrafted Darryl Johnson, Edge rusher NC A&T, 4.92 — Possible sixth rounder Terronne Prescod, G, NC State, 4.92 — Possible sixth rounder William Sweet, T, North Carolina, 4.90 — Undrafted A.

The idea is that they return for the second half, although, much to the consternation of Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren, many never find their way back to their seats.

The idea of selling alcohol at college events, when close to three-quarters of the student body in attendance are unable to buy the product legally, is a controversial one, especially considering the problem of binge drinking on campuses. Hall of Fame North Carolina coach Dean Smith campaigned against even allowing alcohol ads to be shown on college telecasts throughout his career.

With athletic attendance flattening and, for many schools, falling, however, the idea has gained more widespread acceptance. Reportedly, 14 of the UNC systems 15 schools have come out in favor of the bill.

Wake Forest, which began allowing alcohol sales to the general public at athletic events in 2016, found the path to acceptance much smoother than the school expected.

“We took two or three years looking at it, studying it, looking

at what other people have done to determine if it was applicable to Wake Forest or not,” AD Ron Wellman told the AP. “Eventually, the vote went to a wide sampling of representatives from across the campus. I thought it would be a very controversial topic, (but) we had over 50 people on a couple of different boards at that meeting, and they voted for it unanimously, which shocked me.”

Thus far, colleges that have allowed alcohol sales found that the move has reduced alcohol-related problems at events, not increased them. West Virginia saw incidents drop by 35 percent after beginning regulated sales in 2011. Ohio State saw a similar impact after allowing the sale in 2016.

“By giving NC public universities the option to sell beer and wine at athletic events, this bill will improve safety and encourage local economic development,” Rep. Bell said.

“I applaud the NC House and Leader Bell for passing this important bill and getting it one step closer to becoming law,” Sen. Gunn added.

RALEIGH — Mark Messier.

Wayne Gretzky. Bobby Orr. Gordie Howe.

Take your pick — none of them have the Game 7 resume of Hurricanes captain Justin Williams.

Twenty-five years ago, Messier famously guaranteed victory for the Rangers in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference Final matchup with the New Jersey Devils, then notched a hat trick in the win and followed it up with an assist in a 2-1 Game 7 victory.

The Great One, Orr and Mr. Hockey are arguably the three greatest players to ever lace up skates, and Gretzky’s Game 7 credentials, in particular, are extremely good: six goals, six assists and 12 points in six Game 7s.

But there’s a reason Williams has earned the nickname Mr. Game 7.

“He’s been our leader, obviously, and you can’t say enough good things about what he’s done for the group,” said Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour, a teammate of Williams when he had a goal and two assists in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final against Buffalo in 2006, and again 18 days later when Williams had the Cup-clinching empty-net goal in Game 7 against Edmonton.

“He lives for these moments. Everyone lives for these moments, he’s just risen to the occasion. Everyone can have a couple games, but he’s done it for a long time. So obviously we’re hoping he’s got one more left in him.”

The Hurricanes need another clutch performance out of Williams after Carolina held serve at home Monday night and beat the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals, 5-2, to force Game 7 at Capital One Arena on Wednesday night.

It will be the ninth Game 7 of the first-year captain’s career, and he’ll face the team with which he suffered his only loss in the situation for which he has become synonymous — Washington, where he played two seasons but missed out on the Capitals finally getting over the hump and winning an elusive title last season.

Now he’s looking to make Washington the latest division winner to fall in this postseason’s topsy-turvy first round.

“You learn a lot about people when it’s win or go home, whether it’s us or them,” Williams said following Carolina’s Game 6 win.

Williams is one of four players on the Hurricanes roster to have won a Stanley Cup, with fellow Game 6 goal scorers Jordan Staal and Teuvo Teravainen, and defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk — playing arguably his best hockey in two seasons in Raleigh — helping lead the way for the young Hurricanes.

“There are guys that have been there, and it’s kind of the yin and

“You take things from everybody, and he’s been around a lot of great players over his time, and now he’s become that.”

the yang,” Brind’Amour said.

“We’ve got guys that’ve been there, and we’ve got guys that have not even sniffed it. And those guys that have done it before, we rely a lot on. … They all help. They get it. And it’s leaking through the whole room, and think that’s why we’re still playing right now.”

It permeates from no one more than Williams, the lone “graybeard” in a locker room of fresh faces who may or may not be able to grow playoff facial hair.

His teammates know.

“I haven’t played in one of those before at any level,” said Jordan Martinook, who played Game 6 on one good leg after being hurt in Game 4. “So, take some learning from Mr. Game 7, but we’re going to put our best foot forward and see where it takes us.”

His coach knows.

“I think he just lives for these moments,” Brind’Amour said on Tuesday. “He gets it that there’s so many games in your career that you play, and there’s only a certain amount that actually mean something and that you can remember.

“These Game 7s are those. Game 6 last night was our Game 7 up to that point, and we had to have it.

And we gotta have another one.”

His opponents and the rest of the hockey universe know.

“We know he’s going to show up,” Washington goalie Braden Holtby said ahead of the Capitals loss to Pittsburgh in 2015, Williams’ only Game 7 blemish, “but we can’t lean on him too much. We need to have the full group if we’re going to have success.”

It’s advice the Hurricanes will need to follow because Williams — regardless of how heroic he can be — won’t knock out the defending champs on his own.

Case in point: The last time Carolina was in a Game 7, it took 35-year-old veteran Scott Walker scoring his first career playoff goal to lead the Hurricanes past the Bruins. That improved the Hurricanes’ record in Game 7s to 4-0.

That was Carolina’s last playoff win — until this series.

And now Williams — who was gone to Los Angeles by then, on a path to winning his second and third Cup, along with a Conn Smythe Trophy — is back where the legend began. In the twilight of his career, he is trying to — along with his coach, former teammate and friend — teach a new generation of Hurricanes how to win.

“Sometimes it’s just one team that’s win or go home. Now it’s both of them,” Williams said. “We’re just happy to play another game.”

The North Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority (RIA) approved 17 grant requests to local governments totaling $7,068,625, N.C. Commerce Secretary Anthony M. Copeland announced last week.

The requests include commitments to create a total of 869 jobs, 623 of which were previously announced. The public investment in these projects will attract more than $96.8 million in private investment.

“Bringing opportunity and prosperity to all parts of North Carolina requires that we make smart investments in infrastructure in order to put rural communities in position to succeed,” Secretary Copeland said. “Rural Infrastructure Authority grants continue to be essential tools for economic development and the creation of good jobs.”

The RIA approved 11 grants under the state’s Building Reuse Program, including projects in Brunswick County, Greensboro, Robeson County, Statesville, and Randolph County.

Authorities also approved three requests under the state’s federallyfunded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) - Economic Development program, providing grants to local governments for creating and retaining jobs. These include projects in Pittsboro, Lumberton, and Rowan County.

In addition to reviewing and approving funding requests, the N.C. Rural Infrastructure Authority formulates policies and priorities for grant and loan programs administered

by N.C. Commerce’s Rural Economic Development team. Its 16 voting members are appointed by the Governor, Speaker of the House and Senate President Pro Tem. The North Carolina Secretary of Commerce serves as a non-voting member of the Authority.

NC industrial corridor co-branded with ‘Carolina Core’ movement Manufacturing megasites, designed to lure global business opportunities, join under regional development brand to bring assets from public and private partners

By Emily Roberson North State Journal GREENSBORO, N.C. — Business and economic development leaders signaled they are “all in” for regionalism, announcing last week that several transformational assets in central North Carolina will be branded under the “Carolina Core” umbrella.

A corridor between Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point and Fayetteville, the Carolina Core brand was introduced by regional leaders last year to promote and develop four megasites of 7,500 +/acres of certified land, industrial sites, urban research parks and mixed-use opportunities that are designed to bring advanced manufacturers to North Carolina with room grow their business, their workforce and build up surrounding communities.

Officials say that the area positions North Carolina to meet future statewide industrial and manufacturing demands “with a skilled workforce born of a rich manufacturing heritage and fueled by the innovation mindset of more than 30 colleges and universities in the region… in the middle of a state that is consistently ranked as one of the best places to do business in the nation with low costs, competitive incentives and first-rate infrastructure to access the world.”

Leaders also unveiled last week the official Carolina Core highway signs that the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) will install along U.S. 421 in the coming months. Officials say they hope to continue the growing momentum in the Carolina Core to collectively market key assets in the region to increase economic competitiveness on the national

and global stage.

“Since rolling out our vision for the Carolina Core last year, we have experienced unprecedented regional cooperation and support from the business community, economic development leaders, and public officials,” said Stan Kelly, President and CEO of the Piedmont Triad Partnership. “Now, a family of assets is adopting the same last name, signaling a big step forward for regionalism. This is evidence that the region is truly embodying the notion that we are stronger together and a win for one is a win for all.”

Taking the Carolina Core initiative to the next level, leaders announced that several key large transformational sites in the region, including the Greensboro-Randolph Megasite, the Chatham-Siler City Advanced Manufacturing Site, Moncure Megasite and Whitaker Park, will be adapting their logos to co-brand with the Carolina Core. The refreshed logos will be leveraged through signage on the individual sites, in marketing materials, and on their websites. The Piedmont Triad Partnership is also working with other key assets in the region, including the aerospace megasite at Piedmont Triad International Airport, to cobrand with the Carolina Core.

“The Carolina Core gives us an opportunity to differentiate our region in a crowded, highly-competitive economic development landscape, both nationally and globally,” said Jim Melvin, President of the Joseph M. Bryan Foundation. “Regionalism is stronger than I have ever seen before in central North Carolina and this announcement furthers our collective efforts to raise the profile of the Carolina Core to attract businesses and new jobs.”

In another step toward regionalism, NCDOT Board Chairman Mike Fox was on hand for today’s announcements to unveil the official Carolina Core highway sign.

Fox indicated that motorists will begin seeing signs along U.S. 421 in the next 30 days.

“The Carolina Core gives us an opportunity to differentiate our region in a crowded, highly-competitive economic development landscape, both nationally and globally.”

Jim Melvin, president of the Joseph M. Bryant Foundation “NCDOT fully supports the Carolina Core vision and is happy to build on the region’s momentum by installing new highway signage along U.S. 421,” said Fox. “The Carolina Core concept is consistent with NCDOT’s support of economic development in North Carolina. Located in the heart of North Carolina and centrally on the east coast, the Carolina Core’s transportation network is a competitive advantage that will help set the region apart from the competition.”

Last week’s announcements complement several other major regional developments in the Carolina Core. In February, the Carolina Core launched a new website (nccarolinacore.com), collaboratively marketing the assets and megasites in the region to the public. Leaders in the region are also working with local, state, and federal officials to designate U.S. 421 as a future Interstate. Additionally, regional economic development groups are collectively enacting an aggressive marketing plan to drive leads and business investment through site selection consultant visits and a print and digital advertising campaign.

Since launching the regional initiative, economic momentum in the Carolina Core is building with more than 8,500 jobs announced in 2018. The group has a stated goal of attracting more than 50,000 jobs to the Carolina Core over the next 20 years.

North Carolina’s WWI Service Commemorated At Western Carolina University Exhibit It may surprise you to know that “The Tarheel State” is home to the third largest military population in the country. In fact, North Carolinians have always answered the call to serve in the armed services. The state had an especially proud and distinguished record of military service during World War I, also known as “The Great War”.

In recognition of North Carolina’s contributions to that war effort, and to highlight how Uncle Sam recruited southern men and women to enlist, Western Carolina University’s Mountain Heritage Center is hosting an exhibit commemorating World War I and the centennial of the end of hostilities in the “war to end all wars.”

“I Want You! How World War I Transformed Western North Carolina” is on display in Hunter Library. It showcases wartime photographs, artwork and artifacts, as well as examples of the propaganda used to build support for the war effort.

The exhibit was created by Mountain Heritage Center staff with support from the Library of Congress, WCU’s Special Collections and the “Defining America” theme committee on campus, as well as the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. The exhibit will be on display through Friday, April 26.

C2 Cooper seeks economic aid for businesses at blast site Durham Gov. Roy Cooper wants the federal government’s help in assisting businesses in a North Carolina city also feeling the results of a deadly natural gas explosion at cash registers.

Cooper has written the U.S. Small Business Administration asking it take action so that some Durham businesses can access disaster loans after the April 10 explosion. The blast killed one person and injured 25 others. Cooper’s office said the gas leak led to heavy damage to at least nine businesses, destroying four of them.

Cooper’s letter dated Friday says a survey of affected businesses shows a cumulative economic loss of 40 percent of more compared to the same period a year ago. An investigation into the explosion continues.

Ethan Allen announces layoffs in N Carolina, New Jersey Old Fort, N.C. A Connecticut-based furniture manufacturer plans to lay off almost 400 workers at plants in North Carolina and New Jersey.

Ethan Allen Interiors said in a news release this weekend that it will lay off 325 workers from its manufacturing facility in Old Fort, North Carolina, and 55 employees in Passaic, New Jersey. The company says the Old Fort plant will be converted to a distribution center. It will keep its lumber processing facility there while about half its case goods manufacturing will be consolidated at two plants in Vermont. Meanwhile, the company plans to add 80,000 square feet to its three-building campus in Maiden. In its annual report, Ethan Allen said it has about 5,200 employees. It’s unclear how many of those employees work in Old Fort.

China criticizes US effort to reduce Iran oil sales Beijing China, one of Iran’s biggest oil export markets, on Monday criticized Washington’s decision to tell Beijing and other governments to stop buying crude from Tehran or face sanctions. China opposes Washington’s “unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction,” said a foreign ministry spokesman, Geng Shuang. He said Beijing’s dealings with Iran are “reasonable and legitimate.”

U.S. officials told reporters the Trump administration will inform other governments they no longer will be exempt from sanctions. China, which relies on imports for about half of its oil, could present the toughest diplomatic challenge in trying to enforce the Trump administration’s ambition of driving down Iran’s oil exports.

Beijing has supported global efforts to curb the spread of nuclear weapons technology. But it rejects unilateral U.S. action and previously opposed linking trade to Iran’s nuclear program.

The communist government will “protect the legitimate rights” of its companies, Geng said. He gave no indication what China might do if Washington goes ahead with sanctions.

Feds probe claims of bias against Asian-American students Rockville, Md. The U.S. Department of Education is investigating allegations of discrimination against Asian-American students in Maryland’s largest school system. The Washington Post reported Sunday that parents in the Montgomery County Public Schools have complained that race was unlawfully factored into admissions for two sought-after middle school magnet programs.

They say the number of AsianAmerican students invited into the programs has plummeted after a new screening and selection process was put into place. Federal officials told parents that 10 complaints have been incorporated into one case. School officials deny the allegations of discrimination.

US stocks move broadly higher as earnings reports flow in

By Damian J. Troise The Associated Press NEW YORK — Stocks moved broadly higher in early trading this week as companies started to report their latest financial results in force.

Big names including Hasbro, Lockheed Martin and Twitter all surprised Wall Street with strong profit and revenue. Analysts are watching corporate reports closely this week as they gauge whether first quarter earnings for U.S. companies will be as bad as predicted.

Wall Street has been predicting a contraction during the quarter.

Technology companies led the gains after software maker Cadence Design Systems beat Wall Street’s forecasts and gave investors a better outlook for the year.

Cadence rose 4.6% and Qualcomm

rose 1.9%.

Consumer product companies followed Hasbro higher. Industrial stocks all gained ground as Lockheed Martin and United Technologies surprised investors with solid earnings reports.

Energy companies continued riding a rising wave of oil prices, which are up 45% for the year. The latest increases are being pushed by the U.S. government’s decision to further block Iranian oil exports, which could cut the global supply of oil. The sector was still broadly higher, with Halliburton rising 1.6% and Phillips 66 up 0.7%.

KEEPING SCORE: The S&P 500 index rose 0.2% as of 10 a.m.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.1%, or 39 points, to 26,549.

The Nasdaq composite index rose 0.4%.

BUZZING PROFIT: Hasbro

surged 13.9% after the toy company reported strong growth in its various franchises, which include Transformers toys, which benefited from the hit movie “Bumblebee” and “Magic: The Gathering Arena.” The turnaround comes as Hasbro and other toy makers recover from the bankruptcy of Toys R Us. BUBBLING SALES: Coca-Cola surprised Wall Street with its beverage sales during the first quarter after it previously warned of slower growth this year.

The stock rose 2.6% after the world’s largest beverage maker reported growth in revenue and profit that beat forecasts on sales of its signature soft drink, along with sports drinks and water.

The growth warning in February triggered the stock’s worst selloff in more than a decade.

TWEET STORM: Twitter surged 12.9% after surprising Wall Street by adding more users than analysts had expected during the first quarter. All those additional thumbs texting away brought in more advertising sales and pushed revenue 18% higher.

The company beat forecasts for gains in both monthly and daily users.

There were some disappointing aspects to its quarterly report. Profit, which included a hefty tax benefit, fell short of forecasts.

Looking ahead, the revenue forecast for the current quarter is mostly shy of what Wall Street expects.

LOCKHEED DELIVERS: The aerospace and defense company rose 5.8% after raising its forecast for the year on a solid outlook for jet and arms production. Profit and revenue results for the most recent quarter also beat analysts’ forecasts.

The company cited its F-35 fighter jet program as a key factor in its record backlog. Missiles and sales of other arms surged during the quarter.

Tesla gears up for fully self-driving cars amid skepticism

By Michael Liedtke The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Tesla CEO Elon Musk appears poised to transform the company’s electric cars into driverless vehicles in a risky bid to realize a bold vision that he has been floating for years.

The technology required to make that quantum leap is scheduled to be shown off to Tesla investors Monday at the company’s Palo Alto, California, headquarters.

Musk, known for his swagger as well as his smarts, is so certain that Tesla will win the race toward full autonomy that he indicated in an interview earlier this month that his company’s cars should be able to navigate congested highways and city streets without a human behind the wheel by no later than next year.

“I could be wrong, but it appears to be the case that Tesla is vastly ahead of everyone,” Musk told Lex Fridman, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology research scientist specializing in autonomous vehicles.

But experts say they’re skeptical whether Tesla’s technology has advanced anywhere close to the point where its cars will be capable of being driven solely by a robot, without a human in position to take control if something goes awry.

“It’s all hype,” said Steven E. Shladover, a retired research engineer at the University of California, Berkeley who has been involved in efforts to create autonomous driving for 45 years. “The technology does not exist to do what he is claiming. He doesn’t have it and neither does anybody else.”

More than 60 companies in the U.S. alone are developing autonomous vehicles. Some are aiming to have their fully autonomous cars begin carrying passengers in small geographic areas as early as this year. Many experts don’t believe they’ll be in widespread use for a decade or more.

Musk’s description of Tesla’s controls as “Full Self-Driving” has alarmed some observers who think it will give owners a false sense of security and create potentially lethal situations in conditions that the autonomous cars can’t handle. They also say they’re waiting for Musk to define self-driving and show just under what conditions and places the vehicles can travel without human intervention, including specific data showing that

In this March 14, 2019, file photo Tesla CEO Elon Musk speaks before unveiling the Model Y at Tesla’s design studio in Hawthorne, Calif. they would be safer than human drivers and whether the system’s safety has been reviewed by outside groups or government agencies.

Meanwhile, Musk continues to use both his Twitter account and Tesla’s website to pump up a new computer now in production for full self-driving vehicles. Once the self-driving software is ready, those with new computers will get an update via the internet, Musk has said. Currently the self-driving computer costs $5,000, but the price rises to $7,000 if it’s installed after delivery.

Tesla vehicles equipped for full autonomy will rely on eight cameras that cover 360 degrees, front-facing radar and shortrange ultrasonic sensors. It’s not known how many will have the full self-driving technology. There are about 400,000 Teslas on the road worldwide.

That’s different from the self-driving systems being built by nearly every other company in the industry, including Google spinoff Waymo, General Motors’ Cruise Automation, and Ford-affiliated Argo AI. They all use cameras and radar covering 360 degrees, and also have light beam sensors called Lidar to the mix as a third redundant sensor, as well as detailed three-dimensional mapping.

“Vehicles that don’t have Lidar, that don’t have advanced radar, that haven’t captured a 3-D map are not self-driving vehicles,” Ken Washington, Ford’s chief technical officer, said during a recent inter-

view with Recode. “They are great consumer vehicles with really good driver-assist technology.”

Even Lidar doesn’t guarantee 100 percent safety. Waymo last year backed off of a pledge to run a robotaxi service in Phoenix without human backup drivers for safety reasons. And an Uber autonomous test vehicle with Lidar as well as a human backup driver ran down and killed a pedestrian last year in Tempe, Arizona, the first known death involving self-driving technology.

Amnon Shashua, CEO of Israeli autonomous vehicle computing company Mobileye, says cars with 360-degree cameras and front facing radar could drive autonomously, but they would not be as safe as human drivers. Careful humans can drive 10 million hours without a mistake leading to a fatal crash, but cars without full redundant sensors cannot, he said.

Phil Koopman, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, said Musk needs to show his cars can handle all situations if he wants to claim they can drive themselves. For instance, he wonders if Tesla has a plan for a big truck splashing gallons of grimy water onto a car in a snowstorm, obstructing the cameras.

“The rabbit hole goes pretty deep if you want to make that (full self-driving) argument,” he said.

Tesla already has been offering a system called “Autopilot” that can control cars on a limited basis with constant monitoring by a hu-

WGU North Carolina offers $500,000 in scholarships to Mako Medical employees Partnership agreement designed to offer employees the opportunity to earn degrees debt-free NSJ Staff RALEIGH — WGU North Carolina, an affiliate of the national online nonprofit Western Governors University, has announced a partnership agreement with Mako Medical Laboratories that will help Mako employees advance their professional development and personal education goals through scholarship opportunities with degrees in business, IT or healthcare. The

statement highlighted Mako Medical’s strong support for hiring military veterans – in fact, hiring only veterans in many designated positions – in their pursuit of meaningful employment and career success, along with WGU North Carolina’s shared outreach to the military community.

All employees of Mako Medical will be eligible to apply for special “Bridge to Success” scholarships from a dedicated $500,000 fund. A designated WGU scholarship team member will work oneon-one with each employee to help them through the financial aid process to ensure they are maximizing all grant options available, and then help them apply for last-dol-

lar funds to make it possible to earn their degree debt-free.

Additionally, employees will receive an application fee waiver code, and have access to WGU career services resources and onsite events such as lunch-and-learn sessions.

“Mako Medical has been named the fastest growing company in the Triangle for three years running,” said WGU North Carolina Chancellor Catherine Truitt. “As the company continues to achieve unprecedented growth, we look forward to helping its employees achieve success through a competency-based education model that is flexible, affordable and conducive to the needs of working adults.”

man driver. On its website, it says the Autopilot system steers your car in its lane and accelerates and brakes automatically for other vehicles and pedestrians in its lane.

But questions already have been raised about Autopilot’s reliability after its involvement in three fatal crashes.

In one, neither the driver nor a Tesla Model S operating on the company’s Autopilot driver-assist system spotted a tractor-trailer crossing in front of it on a Florida, highway in 2016. The car drove under the trailer shearing off the roof and killing the driver.

In a 2017 report , the National Transportation Safety Board wrote that driver inattention and design limitations of Autopilot played major roles in the fatality, and it found that the Model S cameras and radar weren’t capable of detecting a vehicle turning into its path. Rather, the systems are designed to detect vehicles they are following to prevent rear-end collisions.

The agency also is still investigating the two other lethal crashes, one last month in Delray Beach, Florida, eerily similar to the 2016 Florida crash, and another involving a Tesla SUV that was operating on Autopilot when it hit a highway lane-dividing barrier in Silicon Valley.

Tesla maintains that its current systems are only for assistance, and that drivers must pay attention and be ready to intervene.

With “Full Self-Driving Capability,” Tesla touts that you get automatic driving from the highway on ramp to the off ramp including interchanges and changing lanes automatically to overtake slower cars. Later this year, the cars will be able to recognize and respond to traffic lights and stop signs and drive automatically on city streets, the website says.

Those feats are something that Tesla will likely have to prove to regulators in California — its largest U.S. market so far — before its fully autonomous cars are allowed on the roads there. But most other states don’t have the same requirements as California. And experts say there’s no federal law requiring preapproval for fully autonomous driving, as long as a vehicle meets federal safety standards, which Teslas do.

“Unfortunately, it may be necessary for several people to die before regulators step in,” Shladover said.

“Our company is proud to hire a large number of veterans who have the desire and discipline to improve their knowledge and skills while serving our overall mission of providing industry-leading laboratory services to patients and healthcare professionals,” said Chad Price, founder and CEO of Mako Medical. “This partnership with WGU North Carolina will allow our employees to apply for scholarships at a student-centered university with a proven model that recognizes their existing knowledge and fosters accelerated learning.”

WGU is an accredited online university offering more than 60 bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in healthcare, IT, business and K-12 education. The university has more than 114,000 students enrolled nationwide, including more than 3,100 in North Carolina.

Tuition is around $3,225 per sixmonth term for most degree programs.

Evolution of a revolution

By Jordan Golson For the North State Journal CAR JOURNALISTS spend a lot of time sitting around in hotel bars arguing with each other.

After a long day of driving a fancy car around some exotic place like Tokyo or Fort Wayne, Indiana, jaded automotive writers will retire to the pub and proceed to drain the PR department’s expense account while debating an arcane piece of trivia like whether coupé should have an accent over the e or not.

And that’s how I found myself in a debate about whether the Range Rover Evoque reinvented the compact luxury SUV segment when it was first released back in 2011. I say: yes. Many of the cars in the red hot segment — Lexus NX, Jaguar F-Pace, Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Porsche Macan — didn’t even exist in 2011. In the end, it’s kind of irrelevant, but I like revolutionary cars which means I like

the Evoque. And now there’s a brand new one.

Land Rover swears that every piece of the vehicle was reworked with the exception of the rear door hinges (which were perfect to begin with?). And yet, unless you really know your Evoques, one might be hard pressed to spot what’s new. Designwise, it’s all a little tighter. The Evoque’s trademark rising shoulderline and sloping roof is here, along with head and taillights adapted from its larger sibling, the gorgeous Range Rover Velar.

As to be expected from a Range Rover these days, the interior is luxurious and refined. Seats are comfortable, though given the size, rear-seat legroom and trunk space are tight. Don’t expect to throw two sets of golf clubs in the back, but a weekly grocery run should be alright.

The Evoque includes a pair of large touchscreens in the middle of the center column. One focus-

es on in-car entertainment and navigation, while the other swaps between climate control and adjustments for the various offroad modes (Sand, Grass-Gravel-Snow, Mud & Ruts) and more.

There are a host of clever tricks for those venturing off the beaten path, including something Gradient Release Control that gently releases the brakes when driving down steep inclines to ensure that the vehicle doesn’t gain speed too quickly. The Evoque can also ford a rather ridiculous 23.6 inches of water, up from 19.7-inches in the prior version. Sure, you’ll never actually do that, but it’s nice to know that you could.

A ridiculously cool feature called “ClearSight Ground View” uses the Evoque’s forward- and side-facing cameras (plus some DVR-esque cleverness) to allow the driver to “look” underneath the car and navigate obstacles while watching exactly where the front wheels are on the large cen-

ter screen. It’s a form of augmented reality that was developed inhouse at Land Rover (and showed in concept form a few years ago as the “transparent bonnet”) and is something Evoque owners will enjoy showing off to the neighbors.

The bottom touch-screen in particular was a little difficult to use without taking your eyes off the road, but it was clearly designed for the driver to put everything in Auto — climate and offroad settings — and just leave it alone. The top screen, though gorgeous, uses a motorized tilt-function to rise out of the dash a bit.

It’s cool, but seems a bit unnecessary. There’s also no good place to store your smartphone, which is unforgivable for a new car in 2019.

Other smart tech allows the Evoque to learn the driver’s habits — things like preferred temperature settings, favorite radio stations, and commonly dialed phone numbers depending on the

time of day or day of the week.

Less immediately apparent, but more interesting in the long-run, is the 48-volt mild-hybrid powertrain. Going back decades, most vehicles use a 12-volt system to power the vehicle’s electronics.

The Evoque has a 48-volt system that can harvest energy normally lost during deceleration and allows the engine to shut off earlier than most cars, improving fuel economy. Below 11 miles per hour, the engine will shut off when the driver applies the brakes, and stored battery power will be deployed during low-speed acceleration. In practice, this is all imperceptible, but should result in improved fuel economy, especially in stop-and-go city traffic.

Pricing starts in the mid$40,000 range rising to the mid$50’s on the higher trims. The British-built 2020 Range Rover Evoque is expected on North Carolina Land Rover dealer lots later this Spring.
