NEWS BRIEFING

House committee files lawsuit for Trump tax returns Washington, D.C. A House committee sued the Trump administration in federal court Tuesday for access to President Donald Trump’s tax returns, setting up a legal showdown over the records.

The House Ways and Means Committee said it needs the documents for an investigation into tax law compliance by the president, among other things.

The lawsuit is the culmination of a long-running fight between Democrats and Trump over the returns, dating back to the 2016 campaign, when Trump claimed that he could not release them due to an IRS audit. The records hold the promise of information about Trump’s business entanglements, relationships with foreign creditors and governments, and the value of his assets.

Report: Nike pulls flag sneaker after Kaepernick complaint New York Nike is pulling a flag-themed tennis shoe after former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick complained to the shoemaker.

The shoe’s heel has a U.S. flag with 13 white stars in a circle on it, known as the Betsy Ross flag. Citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter, the Journal said that Kaepernick, a Nike endorser, told the company he and others found the flag symbol offensive because of its connection to slavery. The Air Max 1 USA shoe had already been sent to retailers to go on sale this week for the July Fourth holiday, the Journal reports. Arizona Governor Doug Ducey lashed out at Nike’s decision to yank the sneaker, tweeting that he is asking the state’s Commerce Authority to withdraw all financial incentives for the company to locate there.

“Arizona’s economy is doing just fine without Nike. We don’t need to suck up to companies that consciously denigrate our nation’s history,” he wrote.

Redistricting fight could turn to state courts after ruling

By Gary D. Robertson The Associated Press RALEIGH — Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled federal courts aren’t the place to settle partisan gerrymandering disputes, opponents of North Carolina’s district maps are putting their hopes in state courts.

An election reform group, the state Democratic Party and voters will go to court in two weeks to try to persuade state judges that Republican-drawn General Assembly districts discriminate against Democrats based on their political beliefs and voting history.

What’s different in this case is that the plaintiffs — some of whom sued in federal court over the state’s congressional map, which ended with Thursday’s 5-4 Supreme Court decision against them — argue the House and Senate boundaries violate the state constitution, not the U.S. Constitution.

“We are confident that justice will prevail in the North Carolina courts,” said Bob Phillips with the North Carolina office of Common Cause, which is a plaintiff in both matters. “And we will continue to work with state lawmakers to reform our broken redistricting system that has left far too many without a voice in Raleigh.”

Voting-rights advocates across the country have vowed to turn to state litigation after Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the opinion addressing North Car-

South Korea’s Moon calls Trump-Kim summit end of hostility

By Hyung-Jin Kim The Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s president on Tuesday called a recent U.S.-North Korean summit at the Korean border an end of mutual hostility between the countries, despite skepticism by many experts that it was a just made-for-TV moment that lacked any substance.

During their impromptu third summit at the Korean Demilitarized Zone on Sunday, Trump and Kim reaffirmed their friendships and agreed to resume nuclear talks.

Trump briefly crossed the border

into North Korea making him the first sitting U.S. president to set foot on the North’s soil. But neither side has indicated they are any closer to resolving sticking points that collapsed their previous summit.

On Tuesday, South Korean President Moon Jae-in told a Cabinet meeting that the summit in the DMZ meant the two countries declared “an end of hostile relations” and the “start of an era of peace.”

olina and Maryland cases that federal courts have no authority to determine whether partisan gerrymandering is unconstitutional.

Addressing complaints of partisan gerrymandering in state courts has already succeeded in Pennsylvania, where last year the state Supreme Court struck down congressional districts based on language in the Pennsylvania constitution that is similar to North Carolina’s. That ruling led to the court redrawing congressional lines. Democrats picked up four additional seats in 2018.

The pending partisan gerrymandering case filed in Wake County court marks at least the eighth lawsuit challenging North Carolina maps on the basis of racial and partisan bias since the current round of redistricting began in 2011. The lawsuits resulted in redrawing congressional lines in 2016 and legislative districts in 2017 — both to address racial bias. The state has spent millions of taxpayer dollars defending the maps.

Unlike the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, the state Supreme Court that would hear the appeal of the trial court’s decision has six registered Democrats and one Republican.

“My guess is that the North Carolina court — given its composition — will think differently than the U.S. Supreme Court,” said Guy-Uriel Charles, a Duke

RALEIGH — The procedure for requesting North Carolina mail-in absentee ballots would change and records of those requests would become confidential under legislation advancing after an investigation into a congressional race last fall led to a new election.

The Senate’s elections committee voted Monday for the measure, which would eliminate a statewide absentee ballot request form that can be mass copied, filled out and turned in to local county boards. Instead, individual voters would have to write personal requests, as they used to do, to receive a ballot. The person fills out the ballot, gets witness signatures and sends it in an envelope.

Rolls of the absentee ballot requesters and their identifying information, which are already collected on logs and are available for public inspection, would stay private until the election day if the legislation became law.

The measure responds to recent investigations and accusations of absentee ballot irregularities, particularly within the south-central 9th Congressional District. Allegations initially led the state elections board to decline to certify last November’s 9th District election results. Following a hearing in February, the board ordered a new election, now set for September.

Carolina Hemp Hut offers wide range of CBD products

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal HILLSBOROUGH — Years of research and a medical issue that hit close to home are what inspired Mary Lopez Carter to open up a shop in Hillsborough specializing in Cannabidiol, more commonly known as CBD. CBD is a compound that comes from the hemp plant in the cannabis family along with marijuana. However, unlike marijuana, CBD doesn’t have a high concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component that will make a person high.

The Carolina Hemp Hut offers a wide range of options from edibles in gummy form or coffees infused with the oil, to gel caps to vaping and dermal patch products which can be bought in person at their store or on their website, CarolinaHempHut.com.

“We have a very robust line of products. Everything is made in the United States. Everything has their certificate of analysis.”

Lopez Carter said.

CBD oil and CBD products have become a multibillion-dollar industry in the last few years, but the venture into CBD oil began as a personal one for Mary Lopez Carter and her husband David Carter.

“It all started when actually a long time ago back in in 2010 when Dave had a brain tumor for the second time,” said Mary Lopez Carter. “I started doing some research into cannabis and discovered medical marijuana’s effects on cancer and that it shrinks tumors.”

Lopez-Carter said that her research led her to products she and her husband Dave first tried that were pricey but says that the results were so amazing she decided to dig around some more.

Eventually, she found other products that were cheaper and still high quality.

The couple opened the Car-

Bags of hemp flower and hemp “pre-rolls” are stored in a display along with CBD tinctures in Nature’s Releaf Hemp Store in Raleigh on July 1. olina Hemp Hut in 2018 after a smaller kiosk-style venture in Durham took off. Prior to the kiosk, Lopez Carter had run an online store for CBD products called Hemp Oil Rockstar.

According to Lopez Carter, her customers reported that CBD products were helping them with a long list of issues including stress, ADHD, and insomnia, but also pain relief from migraines, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and neuropathy pain.

“I thought to myself this is going to be big,” Lopez Carter said.

“People are getting off their prescription medications and using something natural that is better for their bodies.

The Carolina Hemp Hut has become a reality due in part to legislation at both that state and federal levels.

Since 2015, the North Carolina Industrial Hemp Commission has run a pilot program to culti-

vate industrial hemp for research purposes. With the removal of hemp from the federal Controlled Substances Act in 2018 as part of the federal Farm Bill of 2018, the production of hemp meeting the same standard for THC according to state or USDA guidelines was authorized.

During the current legislative session, hemp has been addressed again as part of Senate Bill 315, known as the North Carolina Farm Act of 2019.

The major provision of the original bill exempted hemp, hemp products, hemp extracts, and smokable hemp from the definition of “marijuana” in the State Controlled Substances Act and the Schedule VI controlled substances in the State Controlled Substances Act. Law enforcement officials in the state have pushed back on the bill and the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) issued a memo that in part said this bill will make

TRUMP from page A1 an leaders sat for a two-way meeting, described their summit as “historic.” He also called the summit “the fruits of amazing imagination,” saying it was arranged due to Trump’s “unprecedented” Twitter offer for a meeting and Kim’s “bold” decision to accept it.

Moon, a liberal who took office in 2017, has lobbied hard to set up diplomacy between Trump and Kim to help find a peaceful settlement of the North Korean nuclear crisis. He met Kim three times last year, and their first and second summits happened at the same DMZ village called Panmunjom.

At the start of Sunday’s meeting, Trump went across ankle-high concrete slabs that form the military demarcation line at Panmunjom after Kim told him he would become the first U.S. president to be in North Korea if he did so. After walking together several feet, they turned back to the South for a summit that lasted about 50 minutes.

Trump said he was “proud” to step over the borderline and

BALLOTS from page A1 Republican Sen. Ralph Hise of Mitchell County says the bipartisan bill he’s sponsoring seeks to discourage illegal “harvesting,” or when someone takes another person’s actual mail-in ballot, either to fill it out or destroy it. While it’s lawful for people to collect absentee ballot requests and submit them to county boards, only the voter or a close relative can handle the actual mail-in ballot.

Hise said mass-copied ballot applications opened the door to political workers “potentially fraudulently submitting them themselves.”

Witnesses in the 9th District hearing described political operative Leslie McCrae Dowless and his assistants gathering absentee ballots from Bladen County voters. Workers testified they were directed to collect blank or incomplete ballots, forge signatures on them and even fill in votes for local candidates. Dowless and four other people were charged in state court on charges related to work in other elections.

The legislation, which now goes to another Senate committee, also would create new crimes or increase criminal penalties for illegal harvesting activities.

State law already directs that mail-in absentee ballot voters will now comply with a new photo iden-

tification mandate just like in-person voters. But the bill says an ID copy must now be turned in with a person’s application letter and eliminates the option to turn it in with the completed ballot.

State elections board Executive Director Karen Brinson Bell asked senators in the committee to consider requiring the ID or an exemption certificate to be turned in with the completed envelope, saying that process was more secure.

A separate provision in the bill would restore early in-person voting on the final Saturday before the primary or election day. The Republican-controlled legislature passed laws last year to adjust the 17-day early voting schedule so that it would end on the Friday before the election in future elections.

But election advocates said the final Saturday was extremely popular, especially for people who worked during the week.

the enforcement of marijuana laws impossible and it jeopardizes probable cause in drug seizure situations.

The SBI memo says “There is no easy way for law enforcement to distinguish between industrial hemp and marijuana. There is currently no field test which distinguishes the difference.”

The most recent version of the bill has removed smokable hemp from the “hemp product” list and includes a civil penalty of $2,500 for anyone who “knowingly or intentionally manufactures, delivers, sells, or possesses smokable hemp.”

In addition, licensure would be blocked for a period of ten years for anyone convicted of a felony relating to a controlled substance under state or federal law.

The North Carolina Farm Act of 2019 is still making its way through the House and has been sent to the Finance committee for consideration.

thanked Kim for showing up for the meeting. Kim said he was initially “very surprised” at Trump’s tweet Saturday proposing a DMZ meeting and that their summit could not have occurred if the two leaders didn’t have “great friendship.”

North Korea’s state media de-

scribed Kim’s meeting with Trump as “an amazing event” and that both leaders expressed great satisfaction over the result of their talks.

Moon’s government has also said it hopes the diplomatic momentum created by the latest TrumpKim meeting would help revive inter-Korean dialogue.

U.S. and North Korean officials are expected to sit down for working-level talks in coming weeks to hammer out the terms of a mutually acceptable deal, but many experts say it remains unclear whether the negotiations would successfully address the fundamental differences between Washington and Pyongyang that were exposed in the second Kim-Trump summit in Vietnam in February.

The Hanoi summit ended without any agreement after Trump turned down Kim’s request for major sanctions relief in return for dismantling his main nuclear materials-making complex while leaving his already-manufactured nuclear bombs and long-range missiles intact.

The United States and North Korea have no diplomatic ties and are still technically at war because an armistice that ended their 195053 Korean War has yet to be replaced with a peace treaty. About 28,500 U.S. troops are stationed in South Korea as deterrence against potential aggression from North Korea.

REDISTRICTING from page A1

“The U.S. Supreme Court just reaffirmed that redistricting is an issue that should be worked on here by elected legislators, not decided in court,” state Rep. David Lewis said.

Roberts’ opinion, however, doesn’t say state judges are prevented from adjudicating these matters. “Provisions in state statutes and state constitutions can provide standards and guidance for state courts to apply,” he wrote.

Plaintiffs in the North Carolina case are equipped with what they allege is damming information from longtime GOP redistricting consultant Thomas Hofeller, who died last year. Their attorneys have said the records, subpoenaed from Hofeller’s estranged daughter, will show Republican lawmakers misled judges about how and when legislative maps are drawn.

“When Americans hear what those motives are, we believe that the people will soundly reject partisan gerrymandering and replace it with much more transparent and community-driven processes,” said Kathay Feng, Common Cause’s national redistricting director.

Lawyers for GOP legislators said no one lied and suggest Hofeller’s documents may have been obtained in an unethi-

cal manner. The three-judge panel presiding over the July 15 trial scheduled a hearing next week to decide whether materials from Hofeller or his daughter can be used.

Should the state Supreme Court ultimately rule against Republicans, they could be forced to draw new maps and have them ready for the 2020 elections.

Democrats already made electoral gains in 2018 that ended the GOP’s veto-proof majorities at the General Assembly.

Democrats need to win only five additional seats in both House and Senate next year to take back full control. House Minority Leader Darren Jackson of Raleigh said he’s confident Democrats can win a majority in his chamber. But he insists that they’ll resist the temptation of taking the reins of drawing maps for partisan advantage for the next 10 years.

Democrats and some Republicans have pitched the idea for years of giving the job of drawing districts to an outside group. Voters in five other states approved redistricting commissions in 2018 — another method reformers plan to keep pushing.

“We have made that promise — I have made that promise — to do an independent commission,” Jackson said.

In previous decades, the state’s Democrats drew maps favoring their candidates that also ended up in court. U.S. Supreme Court rulings in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s plowed new ground on the limits of shaping boundaries to achieve more representation by candidates supported by black voters.

But litigation by political rivals and civil rights groups went into high gear against Republicans who controlled the mapmaking after winning legislative majorities in 2010. There was a national effort by the GOP to win statehouses and set the course for district lines.

North Carolina maps drawn in 2011 helped legislators create veto-proof majorities at the General Assembly, allowing them to advance their agenda on taxes, abortion and the environment.

Republicans ultimately held 10 of North Carolina’s 13 seats in Congress.

The North Carolina House’s chief mapmaker this decade has called on the plaintiffs in state court to withdraw their case because of Thursday’s ruling. Those suing have no plans to withdraw.

Trump campaign announces $105M raised during 2nd quarter The Associated Press

AMR ALFIKY | AP PHOTO

Democratic presidential candidate and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg addresses the Rainbow PUSH Coalition Annual International Convention in Chicago, Tuesday, July 2, 2019.

Buttigieg says he raised $24M in 2nd quarter The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — Pete Buttigieg said Monday that he raised $24.8 million during the second fundraising quarter, a sum that cements him as a White House contender despite entering the Democratic presidential primary as a little-known Indiana mayor.

The impressive haul tops the $18 million raised last quarter by Bernie Sanders, who led the Democratic field in fundraising during that period. The fundraising haul may help Buttigieg transition to a more formidable campaign for the 2020 Democratic nomination and give him staying power to weather the summer months, when fundraising typically dries up.

Meanwhile, many of his better-known rivals have struggled to raise money and could face more challenging circumstances.

“He did exactly what you are supposed to do,” said Rufus Gifford, who was finance director of President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign. “They are seizing on opportunities, they are building infrastructure, hiring staff and working their butts off.”

Campaigns often release an early glimpse of their end-of-quarter fundraising, particularly if the numbers are good.

So far, none of his rivals have followed suit, though they have until July 15 to report the numbers to the Federal Election Commission.

The figures will be a crucial factor in determining which candidates qualify for the September debate stage.

Buttigieg, 37, surprised many people with a first quarter haul of roughly $7 million, which topped many of the better-known candidates in the race. Since then, he’s parlayed his biography as a gay military veteran and Rhodes scholar who was twice elected to lead the Rust Belt city of South Bend into becoming one of the hottest tickets in Democratic fundraising.

“The LGBT community is very enthusiastic about supporting him,” said Gifford, who is gay. “That does not mean they are going to vote for him. But they want to support the candidacy because it’s historically important.”

Buttigieg’s campaign says he has $22.6 million cash on hand and received money from donors from all 50 states, as well as U.S. territories, with an average con-

tribution of about $47.

His campaign says that will allow him to build out an operation in early voting states, including Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. Already, his staff has grown from a handful of strategists and volunteers to a headcount that exceeds 100. Recently, his South Bend headquarters moved into a larger office.

For now, Buttigieg is doing well enough in overall polls and has received contributions from more than 400,000 people, securing his spot in the September debates.

The Democratic National Committee requires participants to hit 2% in multiple polls and 130,000 individual donors.

Although many campaigns are worried, DNC Chairman Tom Perez has resisted pressure to relax the requirements.

Currently, the only other locks for the fall debates are former Vice President Joe Biden, Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and California Sen. Kamala Harris.

Although his rivals have yet to release their numbers, Biden hinted last month that he’s taken in a similar amount to Buttigieg.

Biden has said his campaign had amassed 360,000 donors, who gave an average of $55 apiece. The math suggests he collected about $19.8 million since entering the race in April, but his campaign declined to confirm the figure at the time.

His campaign remained coy on how much he has raised but told supporters in an email on Monday that they “blew our fundraising goal out of the water.”

Booker unveils immigration plan relying on executive orders

WASHINGTON, D.C.— Cory Booker has rolled out an immigration agenda composed of changes he could make without relying on Congress, including a shift away from criminal prosecution of border crossings and a new mandate for migrant detention facilities to meet minimum standards.

Plan would prevent ICE from pursuing illegal aliens at schools, churches and courthouses

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign says it raised $105 million during the second fundraising quarter.

The campaign said Tuesday it has $100 million in cash on hand.

Campaign manager Brad Parscale says the total is “a testament to the overwhelming support” for Trump, who formally announced for reelection in June.

Parscale says none of the Democrats who are competing for the right to challenge Trump in 2020 can match the president’s fundraising prowess or the level of enthusiasm for him.

The money was raised by the Trump campaign, Trump’s joint fundraising entities and the Republican National Committee.

Campaigns have until July 15 to report their fundraising totals to the Federal Election Commission, but many will release their end-of-quarter totals if the numbers are especially good.

future president could pursue without relying on a legislative deal that has proved elusive in recent years.

For instance, if elected, Booker would use his presidential powers to orient the Department of Homeland Security away from raids that target migrants at locations such as schools or churches while adding courthouses to that list, according to a summary released by the New Jersey senator’s campaign. Booker also vows to end President Donald Trump’s ban on travel to the U.S. by residents of certain majority-Muslim nations.

Booker released his plan the day that liberal activists planned nationwide demonstrations calling for the closure of immigration detention facilities that some advocates and attorneys have decried as subjecting migrants to unsafe conditions. More than a half-dozen Democratic presidential candidates

visited a South Florida detention center during their trips to Miami for last week’s first primary debates, a show of force that helped draw attention to the facilities.

Two of the candidates, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former Housing Secretary Julián Castro, have called for the rollback of the statute that empowers the criminal prosecution of migrants who cross the border. Booker also favors an end to that provision of the law, which would require congressional action, and said on Tuesday that his administration would move federal prosecutors’ focus away from charging migrants with criminal offenses unless they pose a threat to public safety.

Booker launched his 2020 campaign in February. He is polling in the single digits in the Democratic primary, trailing five or more rivals.

DENVER — Top members of former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper’s campaign are departing in a major shakeup as the brewpub owner-turned-politician tries to turn around his struggling presidential bid.

Campaign manager Brad Komar and national finance director Dan Sorenson have left the campaign.

Spokeswoman Lauren Hitt confirmed their departures and said she, too, will exit the campaign in the coming weeks.

The departures come after the close of the second quarter of campaign fundraising. Hickenlooper is expected to lag well behind the Democratic National Committee’s benchmark of 130,000 donors needed to qualify for the debate stage in September — one of several candidates who could fail to meet that threshold.

Hickenlooper, who served two terms as governor of a Western swing state, has struggled to gain attention in the crowded Democratic field. He has touted moderate positions and repeatedly warned Democrats they risk being tagged as socialists by tacking too far to the left.

But with several candidates, and many Democratic voters, embracing more liberal positions, Hickenlooper’s message — or at least the messenger — has failed to resonate. He was roundly booed last month at the California Democratic Party convention when he condemned socialism .

Hickenlooper’s team projected optimism about the future, announcing that the candidate had hired a new campaign manager, M.E. Smith.

Smith ran Sen. Bob Casey’s successful re-election campaign in Pennsylvania last year. She was Hickenlooper’s deputy campaign manager in 2014, when Komar ran the governor’s successful re-election effort amid a Republican wave.

At least one of Hickenlooper’s departing staffers was headed to a rival campaign. Sorenson, the finance director, will join former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s campaign, O’Rourke’s team confirmed late Monday.

Sorenson’s departure had been in the works for some time. He previously notified the campaign that he intended to leave but stayed on until the end of the second fundraising quarter, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The person requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.

Carbon monoxide suspected in hotel deaths

Governor requests disaster declaration for flooding Caldwell County North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper has written a federal agency seeking a disaster declaration for Mecklenburg, Catawba, Alexander, Burke, Cabarrus, Caldwell, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln and Union counties, where recent heavy rains led to flooding in homes and businesses.

A news release from the governor’s office says an initial assessment of damage from storms on June 6 showed flooding and heavy winds led to roads blocked by debris and major damage to more than 50 homes and businesses. If approved, the disaster declaration will provide lowinterest loans to those affected.

Buncombe County Carbon monoxide poisoning may have caused two deaths at a Best Western hotel in Asheville on June 9, police said.

Jacob Galloway, 28, of Troy, and James Landreth, 39, of Southern Pines, were found dead in a room. They were in town for a rugby tournament and had been out celebrating. A third person staying in the room awakened and found the two men dead. A utility room close to the men’s room contained heaters with an exhaust pipe that wasn’t vented to the outside.

Carbon monoxide could have seeped from the utility room to their room.

Burke County Emergency officials say a rock climber died in an 80-foot fall on Shortoff Mountain where he was apparently “free climbing” without protective gear. Burke County Emergency officials said other climbers tried to resuscitate 31-yearold Austin Howell of Chicago while emergency crews rappelled down to his body. He was pronounced dead at the scene Sunday afternoon. Howell was apparently not using ropes or a harness when he fell.

Alleghany County The body of Sparta’s Jo Anne Hatcher was recovered in Grayson County, Va. Hatcher went missing while tubing on the New River near the state line between North Carolina and Virginia. Hatcher, 57, missed the spot where she was supposed to exit the river and floated off. She wasn’t wearing a life vest. Authorities recovered her tube a mile downstream and found her body two days later.

Union County Carolina Waterfowl Rescue is appealing to women not to throw out their old bras, but instead to send them to their agency to help turtles with broken shells. Women should remove the eye closures from the fasteners and mail them in. The eye closures basically help wire the turtle shell back together. The nonprofit has been seeing as many as 40 turtles a week during the past month. It says many of them have been run over by cars, lawnmowers and boats.

Onslow County Officials at Camp Lejeune are issuing a warning after a pair of snakes was found on the base. Land and wildlife resources staff found a ball python in a barracks and a red-tailed boa constrictor in a parking lot. A statement from the base says the two incidents occurred over the last several months. The snakes were captured. Snakes are not permitted on the base. Residents in base housing areas can have specific domestic animals, but not wild, exotic animals such as venomous or constrictor-type snakes, or other reptiles, raccoons, skunks, ferrets or iguanas.

New phone scam costs one victim $2,000 Craven County The Craven County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a telephone scam which cost one person more than $2,000.

The caller is masking their number to appear as if a captain and the sheriff were calling from headquarters. The caller then tells the person on the line that they need to pay a fee to avoid being arrested for failure to appear. The caller will often leave a number for a resident to call. That call triggers a recording which says “County Sheriff’s Office.” Officials say a victim sent more than $2,000 to the scammers on Thursday.

Happy 2nd of July!

Every nation in the world that has adopted the freedom principles for selfgovernance in the Declaration of Independence should put on the largest fireworks possible to celebrate what happened in Philadelphia, 1776.

JULY 4 around the globe is like any other day in any particular country.

No fireworks. No parades. No cookouts. No memorial prayer services.

Had John Adams had his way, the Fourth of July would be the same in America today. He thought “The Second of July” was going to be “the most memorable Epocha in the History of America.”

Every nation that has adopted the freedom principles for self-governance in the Declaration of Independence should join America with massive fireworks displays to celebrate what happened in Philadelphia, 1776, whether it was July 2nd or July 4th.

When Thomas Jefferson wrote these immortal words below, the whole world changed whether people around the world living today know it or not: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

The Revolutionary War was already a year old when the Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776. On June 7, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia started the process toward independence with a resolution that read: “Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.”

On June 11, Jefferson was selected to head up a committee to write a formal Declaration of Independence. Delegates voted for Independence on July 2, which led John Adams to believe that the Second of July should be celebrated forever.

However, given that it was a legislative body, slight revisions to

Jefferson’s text were made on July 3 and late into the afternoon of July 4 when the Declaration was officially adopted. Nine colonies voted yes; Pennsylvania and South Carolina voted no; Delaware was undecided and New York abstained.

Historical hagiography has led everyone to believe that Continental Congress President John Hancock of Massachusetts assigned his beautiful “John Hancock” to the newly adopted document with a flourish right then and there.

No one signed the Declaration until a month later on Aug. 2, 1776. But Hancock did sign it first.

John Adams was so moved by the passage of the Declaration that he wrote his wife, Abigail, on July 3: “The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”

Adams was right about that. Except it is the 4th now, not the 2nd. And every free nation on earth beyond our continent should celebrate with America.

Those remarkable words in the Declaration of Independence have changed the lives of billions of people the world over who have read them and adopted the concepts of freedom and self-government embodied in the Declaration and later from our U.S. Constitution.

Everyone in America should read them again. We need a rebirth of appreciation and gratitude for the amazing gift of equality and freedom these men gave us 243 years ago.

Virtue signaling may win you followers, but it won’t solve the border crisis

AOC wants her followers to believe she cares so much about those who are allegedly being deprived of basic necessities that she is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure they … do not get the funding that they need.

FOR MONTHS, Republican politicians warned that a humanitarian crisis was looming at the southern border.

In turn, Democrats accused them of “manufacturing” the crisis for political purposes.

But now those same Democrats are suddenly pointing fingers and assigning blame for something that up until a few weeks ago they claimed didn’t exist.

Without evidence, Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Karen Bass (D-Calif.) accused the Trump administration in a recent interview of “torturing” children at the border to force Democrats to work with him on a wall. Bass was responding to false reports that circulated about how kids were allegedly being deprived of toothpaste and soap.

Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke blamed the administration for the heartbreaking plight of a migrant father and his young daughter who were found dead in the Rio Grande after trying unsuccessfully to cross its waters.

“Trump is responsible for these deaths,” he tweeted shortly after the story broke.

The most outspoken of them all has been Rep. Alexandria OcasioCortez (D-N.Y.), who refused to budge on the Trump administration’s request for $4.5 billion to alleviate the humanitarian issues at the border.

“Not one dime should go to DHS for building these camps as they detain children & families,” the freshman Congresswoman said in a tweet two weeks ago.

In another tweet a few days later, Ocasio-Cortez said “this admin is CHOOSING to round up refugees seeking asylum, fighting to not give children toothpaste or soap & making people sleep on dirt floors.” She continued, saying that “They say it’s because of a lack of money. You know what saves money? Not putting masses of people in internment in the first place.”

Setting aside the fact she falsely claimed migrants were being “interned,” note how she put unmeetable conditions on approving Congressional funding for the border crisis. There will be no funding for those in need, she intimated, until the detention centers (which were put in place under

the Obama administration) were abolished.

The detention centers aren’t going to go away. There are too many safety and security issues at play to abolish them. She knows this, but she chose to make the administration out as the bad guys because it’s more important for her to virtue signal her way through this issue than to take meaningful action to resolve it.

She wants her followers to believe she cares so much about those who are allegedly being deprived of basic necessities that she is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure they … do not get the funding that they need.

As if the duplicity of this position weren’t obvious enough, just days after tweeting about the alleged “dirt floor” sleeping conditions, Ocasio-Cortez endorsed a campaign started by hundreds of Wayfair employees to halt the company from selling beds to the government for use at the detention centers for children to sleep on.

How can you complain one day about “dirt floor” sleeping conditions, and then turn around and sign on to a campaign that would deprive children of beds?

When another chance came last week for House Democrats to pass a funding bill, Ocasio-Cortez declined to vote in favor of it. She also voted against the Republican Senate’s version of the bill.

“By opposing both bills aren’t you just ultimately depriving these kids of housing facilities that they need?” one journalist asked her.

“The reason I defected is because I needed to send a message,” OcasioCortez responded.

Unfortunately for her, the “message” she’s sent with her duplicitous behavior is that she’s more interested in playing politics with people’s lives than actually trying to help migrants suffering at the border.

This position will win her more social media followers, but it may not play well with voters in her district come primary time.

NUMBER OF THE DAY | SCOTT RASMUSSEN

8% of American adults have served in the military.

EIGHT PERCENT (8%) of American adults have served in the military. That’s less than half the 18% who had military experience in 1980.

The decline among men with military experience is particularly dramatic. In 1960, 45% of all adult men had military experience. That fell to 37% in 1980 and 16% today.

Despite the declining number of veterans, 39% of Americans have a close friend or family member who

gave their life defending our nation.

Of the nation’s 22 million living veterans, census data shows that 32% served in Vietnam, 30% in the Gulf Wars, 9% in the Korean War, and 5% in World War II. Scott Rasmussen’s Number of the Day explores interesting and newsworthy topics at the intersection of culture, politics and technology for Ballotpedia.

Assault on Western civilization

GUEST OPINION | BOBBY HURST

Time to stop surprise billing in North Carolina and nationwide Surprise medical billing puts patients in the middle of dispute between health insurance companies and doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers.

NORTH CAROLINIANS face enough obstacles accessing high-quality, affordable health care as it is without imposing additional cost burdens that discourage patients from seeking the treatments they need. As hospitals and health care providers continue the trend toward consolidation, public policy should be enacted that helps ameliorate the situation, not exacerbate it. A punitive billing practice known as surprise medical billing is the perfect example of a pervasive problem within our health care system that federal lawmakers should work to lessen.

Surprise medical billing puts patients in the middle of dispute between health insurance companies and doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers. Essentially, it happens when a patient receives care at either an out-of-network health care facility — often in an emergency room setting — or from an out-of-network provider within an in-network facility. Backward as it may sound, there are often out-of-network doctors and physicians working at an in-network hospital or clinic because it is quite simply impractical for every insurance plan to contract with every facility and provider, even in the same setting. Think of how confusing it is for patients seeking medical care.

No matter the circumstance, the end result for the patient is the same. Weeks after receiving care and paying for their in-network cost-sharing expenses, the patient then receives the unwanted “surprise” — an unexpected, often-excessive bill in the mail for the cost of care provided that was not covered by their insurance company.

A recently introduced bill in Congress would put this issue to rest once and for all by protecting patients and creating a fair negotiating process to resolve payment disputes. Introduced by Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), the STOP Surprise Medical Bills Act would establish an Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process, which is inspired by the negotiation model used in Major League Baseball to settle salary disputes between players and teams.

The IDR process removes patients from payment disputes and instead brings together insurance

companies and health care providers to negotiation openly and transparently in order to come to a reasonable middle ground.

The STOP Surprise Medical Bills Act would call for doctors and hospitals to be paid a fair interim reimbursement based on the market value of the services they provided. This would help provide an extra layer of financial stability for rural hospitals in North Carolina and across the country. Without this, more hospitals will potentially face cutbacks or closures that will threaten patient access to care.

There are other bills in Congress that also seek to address the growing problem of surprise medical billing, a good sign that federal lawmakers are taking this issue seriously. However, these bills employ questionable tactics that would not only fail to stop surprise medical billing, but would actually threaten and undermine health care access and affordability.

A bill recently introduced by Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) would use federal benchmarking that essentially lets the federal government set a one-size-fits-all payment rate for hospitals. This approach provides zero incentives for insurers to negotiate in good faith and ignores the wildly variable costs among different health care settings. Unlike the IDR process, a benchmarking approach would expose patients to potentially uneven care and threaten access to care by significantly reducing payments to physicians and hospitals.

Only a handful of states have successfully passed legislation to protect patients from surprise medical bills, which is why a federal solution is needed. In order to put an end to surprise billing and remove cost barriers to high-quality health care, Congress must pass the STOP Surprise Medical Bills Act as soon as possible. North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr should join the bipartisan group of co-sponsors who have signed onto this important legislation and help fix this problem before it affects more patients here and across the country.

WESTERN CIVILIZATION was founded on a set of philosophies that focus strongly on the sanctity of individuals and their power of logic and reason. This belief led to a desire to trust things that could be proven to be true or legitimate, from government to science. Judeo-Christian morality has formed the basis of most Western notions of ethics and behavioral standards. Thus, the attack on Western civilization must begin with the attack on the church and Christian values, and, just as important, the family unit must be undermined. The reason why the church, Christian values and family are targets of the left is they want people’s loyalty and allegiance to be to the state. The church, Christianity and the family stand in the way. Let’s look at some of the left’s agenda.

Joe Biden, criticizing sexual assault, said, “This is English jurisprudential culture, a white man’s culture,” adding, “It’s got to change.” The Western world’s culture isn’t perfect but women fare better under it than any other culture. Just ask yourself: If you’re a feminist, in which countries would you like to live? Would it be Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries, China or countries on the African continent, north or south of the Sahara? In those countries, women encounter all kinds of liberty restrictions plus in at least 30 countries on the African continent, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, female genital mutilation is practiced.

You might ask Joe Biden what part of the “white man’s culture” needs to be changed.

The greatest efforts to downplay the achievements of Western civilization start at our colleges and universities.

An American Council of Trustees and Alumni 2016 study reported that “the overwhelming majority of America’s most prestigious institutions do not require even the students who major in history to take a single course on United States history or government.”

Because of this ignorance, our young people fall easy prey to charlatans, quacks and liars who wish to downgrade our founders and the American achievement.

In 2012, 2014 and 2015, an ACTAcommissioned survey of college graduates found that less than 20% could accurately identify the effect of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Less than half could identify George Washington as the American general at Yorktown. One-third of college graduates were unaware that FDR introduced the New Deal. Over onethird of the college graduates surveyed could not place the American Civil War in its correct 20-year time frame.

Nearly half of the college graduates could not identify correctly the term lengths of U.S. senators and representatives.

The left in our country often suggests that people who stand up for Western civilization are supporting a racial hierarchy. The fact is that the history of the world is one of arbitrary tyrannical abuse and control. Poverty has been the standard fare for a vast majority of mankind. America became the exception to what life was like. That exceptionalism inspired imitators, and our vision of freedom and liberty spread to what has become known as the Western world.

Many do not appreciate the fact that freedom and competition in both the marketplace and idea arena unleashed a level of entrepreneurism, risk-taking and creativity heretofore unknown to mankind. Look at the marketplace of ideas. The Nobel Prize has been awarded to 860 people since its inception in 1901. The prizewinner distribution: Americans (375), United Kingdom (131) Germany (108), France (69) and Sweden (32); that’s 83% of Nobel Prizes won. The large majority of other Nobel winners are mostly Westerners. I might add that Japan has 27 Nobel Prize winners, but their first winner was awarded in 1949, after WWII led Japan to became more Westernized.

There’s a reason why the West leads the world in terms of scientific innovation, wealth and military might, and it has little to do with genetics.

Instead, it’s the environment of freedom, both in the market for goods and in the idea marketplace. Rigorous competition brings out the best in mankind. Leftists and would-be tyrants find Western values offensive.

NATION & WORLD China backs Hong Kong chief, slams protesters for violence

By Johnson Lai The Associated Press HONG KONG — China’s government strongly backed Hong Kong’s embattled administration Tuesday, saying pro-democracy protesters who occupied and vandalized the city’s legislature committed “serious illegal acts” that endangered the social order.

Chinese state media broadcast video of police in Hong Kong clearing protesters from the streets earlier in the day in a break with their silence over days of demonstrations that have challenged Beijing’s authority over the semi-autonomous territory.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said Beijing condemned the acts that saw several hundred demonstrators smash through glass and steel barriers to enter the building on Monday night, defacing portraits of lawmakers and spray-painting pro-democracy slogans in the chamber.

China’s central government voiced support for Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Carrie Lam and the city’s police force in dealing with the incident in accordance with law, Geng said.

He also reiterated China’s rejection of any foreign nation commenting on or intervening in protest actions in Hong Kong, saying such matters were a purely Chinese affair and other countries “must not support any violent criminals in any form, and not send any misleading signals or take any erroneous actions.”

His comments follow the publication of an editorial by a ruling Chinese Communist Party newspaper that said the demonstrators who broke into the local legislature showed their “arrogance” and had no regard for the rule of law.

Speaking in Hong Kong, U.S. Consul General Kurt Tong criticized violence among government critics but said all should have the right to express their views peacefully, including foreign residents with longstanding ties to the Asian financial hub.

Hong Kong has been through a “tough time” over recent months, but the intentions of those seeking to effect change were good and the territory has “the right ideas and the right values,” Tong said.

Protesters deface the Hong Kong logo at the Legislative Council to protest against the extradition bill in Hong Kong, Monday, July 1, 2019. about issues of politics or governance or economic policy or the like,” he said.

“And so, we certainly don’t view that as an interference. Nobody has to listen to our comments if they don’t want to, but we feel like we’re within bounds by expressing ourselves.”

Beijing has largely sought to play down the demonstrations that have highlighted doubts about the validity of its “one country, two systems” formula for governing the former British colony. Its coverage of the protests and the publication of a harsh editorial in the official Communist Party newspaper Global Times may indicate it is prepared to take a tougher line against the demonstrators.

Veteran opposition figure Joshua Wong acknowledged that the damage to the legislative offices has drawn criticism from some sectors in Hong Kong.

But he said huge marches and rallies in previous weeks showed there was a groundswell of support for the demonstrators’ goals of demanding more accountability from Lam’s administration.

“I understand people in Hong Kong and around the world might not 100% agree or disagree on all of the behavior of protesters ... but all of the requests

have been ignored. So is there any way out?” Wong said.

Lam is “not capable as leader anymore” and should resign, Wong said, echoing the demand of many protesters. Having been elected by a Beijing-approved committee, Lam is reliant on continuing support from Beijing, which has shown no outward signs of abandoning her.

Wong also alleged that police officers had “double standards” in enforcing the law, saying pro-Beijing lawmakers and their staff have gotten better treatment than their opposition counterparts in the weeks of protest outside the legislature.

On the mainland, Beijing had sought to suppress news of the protests, which roughly coincided with celebrations of the 22nd anniversary of Hong Kong’s handover from British to Chinese rule.

The demonstrations reflect mounting frustration with Lam and her government for not responding to demands from opposition figures that were originally sparked by a government attempt to change extradition laws to allow suspects to be sent to China for trial. Lam has shelved the bills but not agreed to scrap them altogether as opponents insist.

NCDOT TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO U.S. 220 BUSINESS (S. MAIN STREET) FROM CAUDLE ROAD (S.R. 2123) TO U.S. 311 EXTENSION (S.R. 2270) RANDOLPH COUNTY

STIP PROJECT NO. U-6006 The N.C. Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting regarding the proposed project to widen approximately 0.7 miles of U.S. 220 Business (S. Main Street) from Caudle Road (S.R. 2123) to U.S. 311 Extension (S.R. 2270) in Randleman and Asheboro. The current two-lane roadway will be widened to three lanes with sidewalks to allow cars and bicycles to share the road. Additional proposed modifications include the re-alignment of Caudle Road to match Southern Drive, closure of the Norfolk Southern railroad crossing at Wesleyan Road, and a new traffic signal at Wesleyan Road, Stout Road and U.S. 311 Extension. The project also proposes improvements to the intersection of U.S. 311 Extension at S. Main St. as well as widening of existing travel lanes along Wesleyan Road. The purpose of the project is to reduce congestion and improve mobility with a secondary benefit of reducing crashes and improving safety.

BRUSSELS — European Union leaders huddled yet again Tuesday in an effort to overcome an embarrassing deadlock over nominating candidates to hold the bloc’s key posts for at least the next five years.

In one of the longest EU summits in recent years, the leaders are looking to name a new president of the EU’s powerful executive arm, the European Commission, a president of the European Council and a foreign policy chief.

The European Parliament is set to vote Wednesday on its new president, while the new chairman of the European Central Bank could be named later.

The official start of the summit was delayed by more than four hours Tuesday as current European President Donald Tusk led discussions in groups aimed at finding a compromise over who should secure the coveted posts.

The leaders are struggling to show the EU is still relevant and coherent after the bloc’s two traditional center-right and left powers lost votes in May’s European elections.

The challenge is to name a group of new leaders of the EU institutions that respect the 28-nation bloc’s political affiliations, geography — a balance of countries from the north and south, east and west — population size and to have at least two women nominated.

“Everyone has to understand that they have to move a little bit,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said. The leaders, she added, “have the duty to find a solution.”

But the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland, backed by Italy, appeared firmly entrenched in their opposition to former Dutch foreign minister Frans Timmermans, who is seen by many as the most qualified candidate to take over from Jean-Claude Juncker at the head of the European Commission.

Timmermans is seen by these countries — many of them with anti-migrant governments — as a supporter of a controversial scheme to impose refugee quotas on EU countries. He has also led efforts, backed by the threat of legal action, to improve the rule of law in Poland and Hungary.

“We want somebody on the presidency of the commission which doesn’t have a negative view on our region. Mr. Timmermans is not acceptable for us. That’s it,” Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis told reporters as he arrived at EU headquarters in Brussels.

“We have a completely different view on migration. He was always behind quotas and so on, so this is a problem for us,” Babis said.

But Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez — a Socialist like Timmermans — said that stance was “unacceptable.”

“You cannot reject a person because he has defended the treaties, and the principles and European values that we stand for,” he said.

Still, Timmerman’s chances seemed dead in the water by midday, when the name of Germany’s defense minister, Ursula von der Leyen, emerged as a possible candidate for the commission job.

Von der Leyen, 60, was born in Brussels and spent her early years in the Belgian capital.

Diplomats, talking on condition of anonymity because deliberations were continuing, also mentioned the possibility that Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel would become European Council president while Spain’s Josep Borrell was touted as a possible foreign policy chief.

Attention has focused on the European People’s Party, led by Merkel. The EPP has dominated the EU’s institutions and stood as the biggest group in parliament over the last five years, but its star is waning and party leaders are still reluctant to relinquish power, despite the election failure.

Under a calculus that is really only clear to Brussels insiders, Merkel and some of her supporters had wanted Timmermans to be named commission president on the understanding that their man, German lawmaker Manfred Weber, is named president of the European Parliament.

“I hope the EPP had a reboot during the night and the system is working,” said Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel, a free-market liberal aligned with French President Emmanuel Macron.

“Yesterday they had a bug.”

The summit, which started Sunday afternoon, broke down in recriminations on Monday, with leaders taking swipes at each other and criticizing EU Council President Donald Tusk, who is chairing the marathon meeting and whose term ends on Oct 31.

The meeting will take place on Thursday, July 11, 2019 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Randleman Civic Center located at 122 Commerce Square Park, Randleman. The public may drop-in at any time during the meeting hours. Please note that no formal presentation will be made.

NCDOT representatives will be available to answer questions and listen to comments regarding the project.

The opportunity to submit comments will also be provided at the meeting or via phone, email, or mail by July 26, 2019. Comments received will be taken into consideration as the project develops.

UK Tory contenders vow to scrap Irish border Brexit policy The Associated Press LONDON — The two contenders to be Britain’s next prime minister both say they will scrap a contentious Irish border provision that has hamstrung efforts to approve a divorce agreement with the European Union.

Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson are competing to replace Prime Minister Theresa May, who is quitting after Parliament rejected her Brexit deal. A key sticking point is a measure known as the backstop, designed to maintain an invisible border between Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland.

EU leaders say there can be no withdrawal agreement without it. But Brexit-backing U.K. lawmakers reject it for keeping Britain bound to the EU. Hunt said Tuesday that “we are never going to have a deal to leave the EU with the backstop.”

Johnson said May’s withdrawal agreement “is a dead letter.”

Freshwater fish record falls after 36 years Wagram A decades-old North Carolina freshwater fish record has fallen. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission says angler Alphonso Jackson caught a 2-pound, 1-ounce redbreast sunfish June 10 while fishing the Lumber River in Wagram. It broke the record set 36 years ago by 5 ounces. The 43-year-old Maxton resident used a cricket as bait. He says he was fishing with his three children in a pond that day but decided to move when they weren’t having any luck.

The Hurricanes matched Montreal’s five-year, $42.27 million offer sheet to center Sebastian Aho.

Hurricanes will match Montreal’s offer sheet to Aho The star center, who signed a five-year deal worth $42.27 million with Montreal as a restricted free agent, will stay in Carolina

By Cory Lavalette North State Journal RALEIGH — One would think the start of summer would mean downtime for everyone involved in the NHL. Nope. No chance.

Since spring officially ended, the Hurricanes have made four trades involving NHL players, selected 12 players at the NHL Draft and hosted many of those players at the team’s development camp, re-signed one goalie and brought in three more to compete for two spots in net, and faced an offer sheet on their franchise player.

Summertime fun, indeed.

Heading into Monday’s opening of free agency, the Hurricanes had already shuffled around some of their lineup. Out were defenseman Calvin de Haan, goalie Scott Darling and prospects Alexei Saarela and Nicolas Roy, and in were Erik Haula, James Reimer, Gustav Forsling, Anton Forsberg and Patrick Marleau (and his planned buyout, for which Carolina landed a 2020 first-round pick).

But the real shock and awe came starting at 2:40 p.m. on Monday.

That’s when Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell said he found out the Montreal Canadiens had tendered an offer sheet to star center Sebastian Aho. The five-

year, $42.27 million offer sheet — which left Waddell saying he was “actually surprised it wasn’t more” — gave Carolina seven days to match the contract or lose Aho to the Canadiens and receive Montreal’s first-, second- and thirdround picks in the 2020 draft.

It took the Hurricanes less than 24 hours to decide to match it.

“It was so ridiculous in terms of probability of succeeding,” Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon said Tuesday. “If it was a test, it was quite an easy one. Everyone’s trying to make their team better.

We’ve looked at all the ways to make our team better, and never came to the conclusion that the offer sheet was the best way. Your probability of succeeding is almost zero. It was proven that it was a waste of time.”

Following Monday’s offer sheet, many speculated that the more than $20 million owed Aho in the first calendar year of the deal would be too much for the small market Hurricanes to handle.

It wasn’t.

“This sounds terrible, but writing that check is no big deal,” Dundon said, dispelling any notion the team’s billionaire owner’s pockets aren’t deep enough to handle the legendary Canadiens’ clout.

So despite the drama, the Hurricanes accomplished their main objective for the summer — getting Aho under contract, albeit unconventionally. The team also solidified its goaltending situation, re-signing Petr Mrazek late Monday to a two-year deal worth an See HURRICANES, page B4

COLLEGE BASKETBALL is practically the state religion in North Carolina, and area fans are used to their favorite team needing to replace most of the previous season’s production.

That experience should help everyone cope to the Charlotte Hornets’ NBA free agency experience this past week.

Heading into the signing period, expectations were low. The team was struggling with salary cap issues that made it next to impossible for Charlotte to retain both Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb, the team’s top two scorers this past year. At best, the Hornets could hope to keep one of them.

Instead, Charlotte missed out on achieving even the lowest of expectations. Within hours of the start of free agency, both Walker and Lamb were gone.

While most contracts and transactions won’t be official until the weekend, multiple sources confirmed that Walker, Charlotte’s career franchise scoring leader, agreed to a four-year maximum contract with Boston. That would be about $141 million over four years. The Hornets could have paid him up to $221 million over five years but reportedly offered more than $50 million less than that, spurring Walker’s decision to move on.

Walker had a breakout year in 2018-19, scoring a career-high 25.6 points per game while averaging 5.9 assists, moving from star to one of the elite players in the league. He started the All-Star Game on his home floor and was named third-team All-NBA. “On behalf of the entire Hornets organization, I want to thank Kemba for eight incredible seasons with our franchise,” Hornets chairman Michael Jordan said in a statement. “We are disappointed he is leaving. … Kemba is truly one of the best to ever play for our team.”

On the heels of that move, Lamb struck a deal elsewhere as well. The guard agreed to terms with the Indiana Pacers on a reported three-year, $31.5 million deal.

Lamb has been a Hornet since 2015, improving his scoring each year. This past season, he averaged 15.3 points and 5.5 rebounds, both career highs.

The free agency hits kept coming. Frank Kaminsky, drafted in the first round four years ago, agreed to a two-year, $10 million contract with the Phoenix Suns. In 47 games with the team last season, Kaminsky averaged 8.6 points and 3.5 rebounds, down

Wolverine coaches honor ECU mentor at College World Series

“We want to do it because we just want to continue his inspiration and continue his legacy.”

Erik Bakich, Michigan baseball coach

Michigan’s Erik Bakich and Nick Schnabel both wear No. 23 to honor Keith LeClair

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal EAST CAROLINA fell short of is first ever trip to baseball’s College World Series when it was swept by Louisville in an NCAA Super Regional last month.

But that doesn’t mean the Pirates weren’t represented in Omaha.

Michigan coach Erik Bakich and his assistant Nick Schnabel both played for ECU in 1999 and 2000, and although their current uniforms are maize and blue, they wore their purple and gold hearts on their respective sleeves as they led the Wolverines to within a game of the national championship.

It wasn’t actually on their sleeves, of course. Rather, their connection to their alma mater was prominently displayed on their chests in the No. 23 they both wear as a tribute to their late coach Keith LeClair — whose career and life were cut short by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease.

“I got into coaching because I made a promise to Coach LeClair that myself and my teammates, we would continue his inspiration and continue his legacy and get to Omaha for him,” Bakich said after his team qualified for the CWS by upsetting top-seeded UCLA in the Super Regionals. “Because he never got to go.”

Inspired by LeClair’s influence, which Bakich said he feels “every day,” the underdog Wolverines (50-22) powered through the winner’s bracket by beating Texas Tech, Florida State and Texas Tech again to earn a spot in the best-of-

They then beat Vanderbilt in Game 1 to move tantalizingly close to what Bakich described as “a dogpile moment.” But that’s where their underdog run through the postseason ran out of gas. The Commodores bounced back to win the next two games to deny Michigan the title.

It was a disappointing ending that didn’t diminish the sense of

accomplishment Bakich felt for his players in getting as far as they did after barely sneaking into the NCAA Tournament as a No. 3 regional seed.

“There’s only one happy team at the end of this,” Bakich said in his postgame remarks following Vanderbilt’s 8-2 win in the final game.

“Even though we’re not the national champion and we are the national runner-up, I know what it’s going to do for these guys for the

rest of their lives, And that’s awesome.”

Bakich came to ECU from San Jose City College in California and played two seasons an outfielder for the Pirates, hitting .315 with 14 homers and 85 RBI for his career.

Schnabel played second base and was named the Colonial Athletic Association’s Defensive Player of the Year his junior year.

Among their teammates on those two teams, both of which

Isner returns from injury, wins Wimbledon opener The Greensboro native, who reached the tournament’s semifinals last year, was playing his first grass court match of the season.

The Associated Press WIMBLEDON, England — Greensboro’s John Isner didn’t need a marathon this time.

The hard-serving American finished off his opening match at Wimbledon in straight sets, beating Casper Ruud of Norway 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (9) in his first grass-court match of the season. Isner hit 29 aces and saved both break points he faced.

The ninth-seeded Isner reached the semifinals at the All England Club last year, losing to Kevin Anderson in a five-setter that lasted more than 6½ hours — the second longest match in Grand Slam history. Isner was also involved in the longest, beating Nicolas Mahut in an 11-hour match that finished 7068 in the fifth set at Wimbledon in 2010.

There won’t be anything like those epics at this year’s tournament. The All England Club has changed its rules to introduce a deciding-set tiebreaker if the score is still level at 12-12. Isner will face Mikhail Kukushkin on Thursday.

On the women’s side, Ash Barty played her first match as the No. 1 player in the world on No. 1 Court at Wimbledon, and she won.

The top-seeded Australian, who followed her victory at the French Open by winning a grass-court warm-up tournament in Birmingham, advanced to the second round at the All England Club on Tuesday by winning her 13th straight match.

She beat Zheng Saisai 6-4, 6-2.

“It feels incredible,” Barty said about playing at Wimbledon as the top-ranked woman. “It’s a little bit of a bizarre feeling, to be honest.

But I just try and go about my business the exact same way.

“This hallowed turf that we do get to play on is sacred, it’s beautiful. And you have to enjoy every minute.”

Defending champion Angelique Kerber also advanced, beating Tatjana Maria 6-4, 6-3 on Centre Court.

“I was really nervous, to be honest, because of course to (go) out there as the defending champion, it was really special,” Kerber said.

“Walking on the Centre Court,

Both Barty and Kerber are in the same quarter of the women’s draw, which means they could meet in the quarterfinals. Seven-time champion Serena Williams is also in that same quarter, and she also won, beating Giulia Gatto-Monticone of Italy 6-2, 7-5.

Garbine Muguruza, the 2017 Wimbledon champion who was also placed in that same tough quarter of the draw, didn’t make it through her first match. And neither did Maria Sharapova, the champion in 2004.

Muguruza, seeded 26th, lost to Brazilian qualifier Beatriz Haddad Maia 6-4, 6-4. Sharapova, who served for the match while leading 5-3 in the second, retired from her match with a left wrist injury while trailing Pauline Parmentier of France 4-6, 7-6 (4), 5-0.

Back on the men’s side, the combative and combustible Nick Kyrgios advanced to the second round despite winning only five points in the fourth set. The unseeded Australian beat Jordan Thompson 7-6 (4), 3-6, 7-6 (10), 0-6, 6-1.

Kyrgios took a medical timeout after the second set and a trainer came on court to examine his left side. He then won the third set in a tiebreaker — a set which took 1 hour, 16 minutes to complete.

The fourth set, however, lasted only 18 minutes as Thompson won

24 points while Kyrgios took only five.

“The medical timeout was to loosen up my hamstring a little bit.

It was a physical match.” Kyrgios said. “Especially on the grass, it was a little bit slower this year. There were a lot more rallies.”

Kyrgios will face two-time champion Rafael Nadal in the next round. The Spaniard beat Yuichi Sugita of Japan 6-3, 6-1, 6-3.

Eight-time champion Roger Federer lost the opening set of his opening match on Centre Court, but he quickly recovered and beat Lloyd Harris of South Africa 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2.

Federer, who is seeded second at the All England Club, reached the second round at Wimbledon for the 17th consecutive year.

However, fifth-seeded Dominic Thiem, who lost to Nadal in the French Open final, was eliminated after losing to Sam Querrey 6-7 (4), 7-6 (1), 6-3, 6-0.

Thiem follows a pair of other top seeds out of the tournament in the first round. No. 6 Alexander Zverev and No. 7 Stefanos Tsitsipas lost on Monday.

“I was mentally prepared for this kind of game,” said Thiem, who has had much more success on the slower clay surface. “Just broke down a little bit after he converted his first break chance, and that was it basically.”

“This hallowed turf that we do get to play on is sacred, it’s beautiful.”

Ash Barty, the top-seeded woman at Wimbledon

won 46 games and and advanced to NCAA Regionals, was current ECU coach Cliff Godwin and UCLA hitting coach Bryant Ward.

All of them wear No. 23, same as their former coach and mentor LeClair. It’s a common bond that often produces confused doubletakes when Bakich and Schnabel step out of the Michigan dugout at the same time.

“There’s no other number we would want to wear,” Bakich said.

“We want to do it because we just want to continue his inspiration and continue his legacy.”

LeClair’s legacy includes 212 wins, four NCAA Tournament appearances and one Super Regional in five seasons at ECU, making him the second-winningest coach in program history. He was well on his way toward accomplishing his goal of getting the Pirates to Omaha when his progressively debilitating disease forced him to step down in 2000.

It’s a crusade his former players that are now coaches vowed to continue when LeClair died at the age of 40 in 2006.

“I am thrilled that Erik and Nick get to wear 23 in Omaha honoring our former coach Keith LeClair,” ECU’s Godwin said.

“Erik and Nick are two of my best friends, and I could not be happier for them to be able to carry on Coach LeClair’s legacy in Omaha.”

The only thing that could make LeClair happier is if the Pirates someday make it to the CWS or one of his proteges goes on to win the national championship.

“I hope we all get there — Cliff Godwin at East Carolina and Bryant Ward at UCLA, and Nick and I. And I hope we all get there at the same time,” Bakich said. “Nothing would be better than seeing the four of us there.”

HORNETS from page B1 from 11.1 and 3.6 the year before. He came on strong in the second half of the season, however, earning a spot in the rotation and scoring 12.8 points with 4.8 boards.

Add in the previously announced retirement of point guard Tony Parker, who spent one season in Charlotte and averaging 9.5 points and 3.7 assists, and the Hornets have now seen 46.7 percent of last year’s scoring depart since the end of the season, along with 48.6 percent of the assists and 29 percent of rebounding.

The Hornets hope to replace some of Walker’s production with point guard Terry Rozier, whom they will reportedly acquire from Boston in a sign-and-trade that sends Walker there. He’ll sign a three-year, $58 million deal with the Hornets.

The 2015 first-rounder out of Louisville averaged 9.0 points per game ilast season, down from 11.3 the year before, along with 2.9 assists. The Hornets clearly hope he’ll find his form of 2017-18, when his role expanded in Boston following Kyrie Irving’s injury. Rozier led the Celtics to within a game of the NBA Finals, averaging 16.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists in the postseason. The Knicks, Suns and Pacers also showed interest in Rozier during his short time on the free agency market.

Still, bringing in Rozier — who had less than half of Walker’s production at 40 percent of the contract — coupled with the loss of Lamb, are sobering developments for the team, which clearly seems to be entering rebuilding mode for next season and possibly beyond.

The Hornets did hold on to three of their potential free agents, as Bismack Biyombo, Michael KiddGilchrist and Marvin Williams all exercised player options to stay for one more year.

In his second stint with Charlotte, the 26-year-old Biyombo averaged 4.4 points and 4.6 rebounds in 54 games last year. In his seventh year with the Hornets, KiddGilchrist, 25, averaged career-lows with 6.7 points and 3.8 rebounds.

The 32-year-old Williams, a former Tar Heel, averaged 10.1 points in 75 games last season, his fifth with the Hornets. None of the three ranked in the top seven in minutes played or top eight in points scored for the Hornets last season.

The team still has three unrestricted free agents remaining, although none are expected to be a major factor. Guards Joe Chealey, J.P. Macura and Shelvin Mack combined for 17 points and 67 minutes in 7 games last year.

Former ACC stars on the move in offseason

BRETT FRIEDLANDER | NORTH STATE JOURNAL

Conservation­ist Eddie Bridges, second from right, was inducted into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in May.

Conservationist Bridges joins NC Sports Hall The 86-year-old was among 12 inductees back in May

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal RALEIGH — As Eddie Bridges recalls, there were really only two things for young men like himself growing up in Burke County to do back in the days following the end of World War II. Chase girls and go fishing.

Young men in Burke County still do their fair share of chasing girls. But these days, there’s not as much fishing going on.

“I remember going fishing with my dad from the time I was 6 or 7 years old,” Bridges said. “Back then there were lots of opportunities to do that. Now it’s all houses and shopping centers.”

Bridges’ love for the outdoors has never waned. And despite the dwindling number of places for him to cast a line, he’s determined to share his enjoyment of North Carolina’s rivers and streams with children of today.

That’s why at the age of 86, after more than four decades of contributions, he continues to work tirelessly on conservation and wildlife educational projects throughout his home state. It’s an effort that was rewarded in May with his induction into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame.

Bridges is joined in this year’s Hall of Fame class by football player and artist Ernie Barnes, administrator Willie Bradshaw, football coach Rod Broadway, former ACC commissioner Gene Corrigan, NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., wrestling coach Steve Gabriel, basketball referee Dee Kantner, golfer Davis Love III, longtime Elon athletic director Neill McGeachy, former UNC quarterback Paul Miller and football coach Thell Overman.

He is the first outdoorsman to gain entry into the prestigious

shrine.

“I think it’s going to send a loud, loud message to North Carolina about how important the outdoors — hunting, fishing, conservation — is to the economy of the state,” Bridges said at his induction ceremony. “It’s not about Eddie Bridges. It’s about thousands of people who enjoy the outdoors.”

Bridges never set out to be one of the nation’s leading advocates for hunters, fishermen and wildlife enthusiasts.

It actually happened quite by accident.

After a career as a scholarship athlete at Elon from 1953-57, where he played football and ran track, he planned on a career as a teacher and coach. While he was waiting for his big break, he took a job as a salesman at a Greensboro sporting goods store.

“Divine order sometimes sends you in different directions,” he said. “I went (into the sporting goods business) and stayed there for 30 years. I met a lot of people doing that just kept getting me deeper and deeper into (the outdoors).”

Bridges’ most significant contribution to those masses came during his two terms as a member of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission in the late 1970s and early ’80s.

Frustrated at the organization’s underfunding, he convinced his fellow members on the idea of issuing lifetime hunting, fishing and trapping licenses, with the fees going directly into the newly created N.C. Wildlife Endowment Fund. Supplemented by the sale of magazine subscriptions and donations, the endowment fund has grown to a whopping $123.5 million, with more than $29 million of that available for wildlife projects.

Bridges continued his work after leaving the Commission, starting his own nonprofit organization — among whose projects

NBA free agency opened with a bang last week as teams combined to spend more than $3 billion in the first 24 hours.

The spending frenzy helped fatten the wallets of several players with ties to North Carolina. While deals can’t be signed until the upcoming weekend and all amounts are unofficial until then, local players agreed to contracts totaling more than $396 million, with several more players still on the market.

Duke led the way with five players landing deals for a total of more than $220 million. Five UNC products agreed to terms on more than $145 million.

Here’s a look at which familiar faces went where and who’s still on the market.

Unrestricted free agent deals

“It’s not about Eddie Bridges. It’s about thousands of people who enjoy the outdoors.”

Eddie Bridges

include a Caswell County waterfowl impoundment, a quail habitat at the Sandhills Game Land, restoration of mountain trout streams, fishing piers on public lakes, a major black bear study and establishment of the Frank A. Sharpe Jr. Wildlife Education Center at Bur-Mill Park in Greensboro.

His most recent endeavor has been creating a saltwater habitat that will create clean water for humans and marine animals, improve saltwater fish environments and provide a healthy population of oysters.

For his efforts, Bridges has been honored with four national conservation awards, including the national Conservationist of the Year in 2004.

As much as he’s done, he said that there’s still so much more left to do. His most passionate focus is getting young people to look up from their electronic devices and learn to appreciate the outdoors the way he did when he was growing up.

“If we don’t have these young people down the road, we are in bad trouble,” he said. “I mean, some serious trouble, especially the wildlife conservation folks, and hunting and fishing folks, because all these older folks are running the show now.

“We need to retain those young people in order to do what we do well. Hopefully we can influence some of them. There’s a real need to get the children involved in the outdoors.”

Kyrie Irving: The former Duke one-and-done was the big local winner this year, parlaying a season that ended on bad terms in Boston into a reported four-year, $142 million deal with the Brooklyn Nets.

Irving joins his third NBA team, following two years with the Celtics.

Harrison Barnes: The UNC product re-signed with Sacramento, after joining the Kings in a February trade from Dallas. He signed for four years, $85 million.

Seth Curry: The Charlotte native and Duke alum turned his breakout season in Portland into a four-year, $32 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks. It’s his second stint with Dallas, which was the first team to give him steady playing time after cups of coffee with four other franchises.

Al-Farouq Aminu: The Wake Forest product will make Orlando his fifth NBA stop after he signs a three-year, $29 million contract with the Magic.

JJ Redick: The veteran will play his 14th NBA season in a new location, signing with the New Orleans Pelicans, where he will join a heavy Duke contingent, including GM Trajan Langdon and top draft pick Zion Williamson. He agreed to a two-year, $26.5 million contract, and New Orleans will become his fifth NBA stop.

Reggie Bullock: The former Tar Heel will make New York his fifth stop in the league after agreeing to a two-year, $21 million deal with the Knicks. He was traded from Detroit, where he became an NBA regular, to the Lakers in February.

Rodney Hood: The former Blue Devil will remain in Portland after agreeing to two years and $16 million with the Trail Blazers. He joined Portland, his third team, following a February trade with Cleveland.

Wayne Ellington: The former UNC player agreed to two years and $16 million to join Bullock in New York. Entering his 11th season,

the Knicks will be Ellington’s ninth team.

Ed Davis: The nine-year veteran out of North Carolina will join his sixth team after agreeing to a twoyear, $10 million pact with the Utah Jazz.

Austin Rivers: Another in the long line of Duke one-and-dones, Rivers agreed to stay with Houston on a two-year deal that will pay him a reported $2.2 million next season with an option for 2020-21.

The veteran minimum deal keeps him with the Rockets, where he signed last December, a week after being waived by the Suns immediately following a trade that sent him from Washington.

Options picked up Marvin Williams: The longtime NBA veteran, following a one-anddone year at UNC, exercised his player option to return to the Charlotte Hornets for 2019-20 for a reported $15 million.

Jeff Teague: The Wake product exercised a player option to remain with the Minnesota Timberwolves for a reported $19 million.

Jahlil Okafor: The Duke oneand-done from the 2015 national champions will remain in the ever-growing Duke contingent in New Orleans after the team picked up an option for a reported $1.7 million.

Restricted free agents Amile Jefferson: The Duke alum received a qualifying offer from the Orlando Magic, making him a restricted free agent and giving the Magic the right to match any offer he signs with another team.

Tyus Jones: The Duke oneand-done received a $3.57 million qualifying offer from the Minnesota Timberwolves, making him restricted.

Quinn Cook: The former Blue Devil point guard received a qualifying offer from the Golden State Warriors.

Theo Pinson: The former Tar Heel got a qualifying offer from the Brooklyn Nets.

Unrestricted still on the market Vince Carter: The 21-year veteran out of UNC spent last year with the Atlanta Hawks. The Knicks are believed to be interested.

Luol Deng: The 15-year vet out of Duke spent last year with Minnesota.

Raymond Felton: The 14-year vet out of UNC spent last year with Oklahoma City.

Danny Green: The 10-year vet out of UNC spent last year with Toronto.

Tyler Zeller: The 7-year vet out of UNC spent last year with Memphis.

Jabari Parker: The 5-year vet out of Duke spent last year with Washington.

Isaiah Hicks: The 2-year vet out of UNC spent last year with New York.

Trevon Duval: The 1-year vet out of Duke spent last year with Houston.

HURRICANES from page B1 average of $3.125 million. A year after splitting time with Curtis McElhinney — who signed a twoyear contract to be the backup in Tampa Bay — Mrazek will be a clear-cut No. 1. AHL goalie of the year Alex Nedeljkovic will battle James Reimer and Anton Forsberg — both acquired via trade this offseason — for the back-up job.

Carolina also boosted its offense with the addition of Haula. The 28-year-old center is coming off a knee injury that limited him to just 15 games with Vegas last season, but he scored 29 goals for the Golden Knights two seasons ago and joins many familiar faces in Raleigh.

Haula was a linemate of Nino Niederreiter back when the two played in Minnesota, and he will also join fellow Finnish countrymen Aho, Teuvo Teravainen and Saku Maenalanen.

“I actually looked at the roster and was like in my head, I thought, ‘Gosh, I know a bunch of the guys,’” Haula said.

On defense, the departure of de Haan opens a spot for Haydn Fleury or Jake Bean, and the only missing puzzle piece is what will happen with Justin Williams. There 37-year-old captain is still weighing whether or not he will come

Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon on the front-loaded nature of Sebastian Aho’s new contract back for a 19th NHL season.

If he decides to come back, the Hurricanes’ forward corps should be complete. Martin Necas, the team’s first-round pick in 2017, should make the jump to the NHL and play the wing — thanks to the addition of Haula — while still working toward being a center down the road. If Williams moves on, Carolina will likely pursue another winger, either by trade or free agency, to fill out their attack.

While Williams’ decision will be a pivotal moment of the offseason — his partnership with coach Rod Brind’Amour was a key component in the team’s run to the Eastern Conference Final — there was no bigger priority than locking up Aho. “I’m relieved this is done and Sebastian doesn’t have to worry about this anymore,” Dundon said.

“It’s nice to have it done.”

Tech transformation: Lowe’s picks Charlotte for global hub Lowe’s announces location for its future tech center and plans to add up to 2,000 tech associates

By Emily Roberson North State Journal

MOORESVILLE-BASED home improvement company Lowe’s has announced that it will locate a major new technology center in Charlotte, creating more than 1,600 jobs.

“Lowe’s is expanding in a way that will take technology to new heights and this company knows its home state can provide the highly trained workforce it needs,” Governor Roy Cooper said. “We are committed to ensuring workers have the right skills to encourage companies to grow their footprint in our state with confidence.”

The new space, modeled at 357,000 square feet, will be located in the center of a bustling neighborhood immediately south of uptown Charlotte, and will ultimately be home to up to 2,000 technology professionals.

In a statement, Lowe’s officials explained that the dedicated technology center coming to Charlotte will help accelerate the FORTUNE® 50 company’s technology transformation, and will serve as the epicenter for the team Lowe’s is hiring to help modernize its IT systems and build future retail experiences.

“We’re excited to stand up our new global technology center here in North Carolina to continue to drive our company’s growth,” said Marvin R. Ellison, Lowe’s president and CEO, who joined the company in July 2018. “Locating our new facility in the heart of Charlotte, the state’s largest metropolitan area, will enable Lowe’s to attract top technology talent and foster collaboration with our teams in our nearby Mooresville headquarters. This team will create technology solutions that will accelerate our commitment to becoming a best-in-

class, omni-channel retailer and strengthen our associate and customer experiences.”

The Design Center Tower will be located at 100 W. Worthington Ave. in the Design District, the walkable center of South End. Lowe’s tech center will occupy 15 upper floors in the 23-story building. The developer, a joint venture between Childress Klein and RAM Realty Advisors, plans to break ground on the Design Center Tower in August 2019 with Lowe’s moving in by late 2021.

Adjacent to the Lynx Blue Line light rail, the Rail Trail, restaurants and available parking and housing, Lowe’s says the Design Center Tower will seek to provide attractive amenities for the area’s top tech professionals. Lowe’s officials have indicated that they plan to work closely with city, county and state economic development leaders, along with local tech organizations, schools and universities, to help develop and add to the pipeline of tech talent that’s already a driving force in the state’s economic growth.

“Companies need top talent to succeed today, and North Carolina offers one of the best IT workforces in the world,” said Gov. Cooper. “Our state’s focus on education means our people bring the skills companies like Lowe’s look for when they’re working to transform their business.”

The Charlotte Plaza at 201 S. College Street in uptown Charlotte will serve as the interim home for Lowe’s tech center, with the company occupying 200,000 square feet of office space on floors three through 10. Lowe’s tech professionals are expected to begin work this summer at the Charlotte Plaza, which is about 30 minutes from the company’s headquarters in Mooresville.

The new tech center will build on the company’s long-established presence in the Queen City.

Lowe’s operates 21 stores and employs nearly 11,000 associates in Charlotte, where Lowe’s is a rec-

4th of July Safety Tips Sparklers! Fireworks! Bang snaps!

Light up your Independence Day festivities safely by keeping these tips in mind.

Firecracker 101 If you set off fireworks, never ignite them inside of a container, especially one that’s glass or metal. Keep a bucket of water handy nearby just in case something goes awry. And if your firework malfunctions, don’t try to relight it! Douse and soak defunct fireworks with water and then throw them away.

Master the grill If you’re firing up the grill, place it well away from your home and deck railings and out from under branches or overhangs. Open gas grills before lighting. Regularly check the tray below your gas or propane grill and remove any grease and/or fat buildup so it doesn’t ignite. Although it’s the season of easy-breezy clothing, choose your cookout attire wisely: anything too loose could catch fire when cooking on the grill.

Take care with children Sparklers account for one-quarter of emergency room fireworks injuries!

Always have an adult supervise any firecracker activities, and never allow children to ignite fireworks. As for the grill, it’s best for kids and pets to simply steer clear. Try declaring a three-foot “kid and pet-free zone” around your grill to keep everyone safe.

US manufacturing growth slows in June for 3rd straight month

By Christopher Rugaber The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. factory activity grew at a slower pace in June for the third straight month as measures of new orders and inventories fell.

The Institute for Supply Management, an association of purchasing managers, said Monday that its manufacturing index slipped to 51.7 last month from 52.1 in May. Any reading above 50

signals an expansion.

While the sector is still growing, the report pointed to an ongoing weakening in U.S. manufacturing. Trade fights with China, Europe and Mexico, as well as an increase in the dollar’s value, have cut into U.S. exports and increased uncertainty for American manufacturers.

A measure of new orders dropped to 50, which means they were unchanged. Manufacturers are also holding fewer supplies, a

sign they are worried that demand could slow further.

“It’s concerning,” said Tim Fiore, chair of the ISM’s manufacturing survey committee. “This is going down faster than I would like.”

The ISM surveys purchasing managers at manufacturing firms, nearly half of whom said that trade policy was negatively affecting their businesses in some way.

“Tariffs are causing an increase in the cost of goods, meaning U.S. consumers are paying more for

products,” a chemical manufacturer told the ISM. A measure of new export orders was just 50.5, suggesting overseas demand is barely growing. Overall order backlogs are also shrinking, and customers’ inventories, while still declining, are doing so more slowly. When manufacturers’ customers hold larger stockpiles, that means they order fewer goods from factories.

There were some positive signs: Production and employment in-

creased at a faster pace in June.

President Donald Trump has postponed two of his largest, most recent tariff threats, but that hasn’t fully removed the threat to manufacturers. He agreed over the weekend to hold more trade talks with China, rather than impose import taxes on $300 billion of Chinese imports. He also delayed an across-the-board 25% duty on all imports from Mexico, See SLOW GROWTH, page C2

C2 North Carolina lawmakers hasten proposed smokable hemp ban Raleigh A proposed ban on smokable hemp may go into effect in North Carolina one year earlier under an amendment to a bill moving through the state House. The House Agriculture committee passed the amended bill Friday, expediting the Senate’s ban to this December from December 2020. The Senate passed the original act last week and some Senate lawmakers opposed accelerating the ban during Friday’s meeting. As the NSJ has reported, law enforcement is advocating for an immediate ban over concerns that legal hemp, which does not produce a high, is indistinguishable from illegal marijuana.

The state Agriculture Department told lawmakers that they are working on verifying field tests that could differentiate the substances. Farmers say a ban on the lucrative product would hurt them. The bill now moves to the House Finance Committee.

Connecting NC farmers to food buyers with one click A new app aims to increase local food access across the state

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal RALEIGH — Technology is changing the face of local food access by bringing together both the producers and the sellers more efficiently.

FreshSpire is an app that can quickly help farmers find a buyer for their product or can help a restaurant or grocery store easily identify a local farm to supply them with the fresh foods they need. The rapid communication combined with the ability to grow a sustainable food network also helps to reduce food waste.

“FreshSpire is technology that helps grocery stores, restaurants and wholesalers get local foods more efficiently,” said the company’s CEO and Co-Founder, Shraddha Rathod.

“We saw a communication gap between local farmers and vendors and said, hey how can we make that communication more

robust using technology?” Rathod said.

The app creates a virtual marketplace for both parties to find each other through a far less time-consuming method such as cold calling or having to physically go to a location to sell or buy food.

“What we see are that buyers’ current methods to order are through a call or an email,” said Rathod. “And FreshSpire speeds up that contact and [we] have been able to cut order times by 50 percent.”

By using the app, orders can be placed within minutes, managed in one place, and users can customize their own marketplace by inviting favorite sellers/buyers or by searching for new farms and partner sources.

According to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture there are around 46,400 farms across the Tarheel state with roughly 87% of them being family run.

Broilers (poultry) and hogs are the top two livestock commodities while soybeans, corn and sweet potatoes top the list for produce.

Agriculture and Agribusiness has an estimated $76 billion annual economic impact on the state’s

“We saw a communication gap between local farmers and vendors and said, hey how can we make that communication more robust using technology?”

FreshSpire CEO Shraddha Rathod economy.

Rathod says that the idea started back when she was in high school in Durham at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics and continued as she attended college at North Carolina State University.

While in college, FreshSpire began to take shape as Rathod’s team became semi-finalists for an NC IDEA grant and was named the winner of the undergraduate division of the 2015 NC State Poole College Leadership and Innovation Showcase.

“Throughout the process of researching, we realized there

wasn’t a good way to communicate available at a state level,” Rathod said. “Early on, we were marketing the surplus food that is often left on farms or in food distribution warehouses to sources that could use them.”

The potential was there, and after bootstrapping the business, FreshSpire launched its software in October 2018. Joining Rathod in leading the company are Matt Simpson, chief technology officer, co-founder Mona Amin, as head of business development and Ziwa Mukungu in the role of lead technology developer.

“Our team is very tech-heavy but we became interested in this space early on throughout college.

We wanted to figure out why 40% of our food is ending up in a landfill,” said Rathod.

“We really designed our software to work seamlessly for both operations on the buying end for selling on the farmer end,” Rathod said. “The data collected we collect through the app helps us provide a clear picture of our food systems on both the seller or producer end and the needs of the buyers.”

Rathod says that their focus right now is on local food chain sustainability and food sourcing but that the FreshSpire model was built with expansion beyond North Carolina in mind.

Farmers, restaurants and grocery stores can get more information at GetFreshSpired.com or can download the app from Google Play or the Apple store.

Ride-sharing rule changes promoting safety OK’d by NC House Raleigh New rules for drivers of ride-sharing companies like Uber and Lyft operating in North Carolina have cleared the state House. The bill approved unanimously on Thursday is considered a safety measure following the March death of a university student in South Carolina who police there say got into the car of an Uber driver impersonator. The measure now heading to the Senate requires require drivers this fall to display license tag numbers at the front of their vehicles. By next year, they’ll have to have to display their company’s logo so it can be clearly seen day and night. Impersonating a ride-sharing driver would be a felony. There would also be $500,000 set aside for colleges and universities to create student education campaigns about using these transportation options safely.

NC economic index shows slower growth, but no recession Raleigh The NCSU Index of North Carolina Leading Economic Indicators, a forecast of the state economy’s direction four to six months ahead, was unchanged in May from its reading in April. However, economics professor Michael Walden notes that the overall stability of the Index masked significant differences among the Index’s components. Only building permits registered a gain for the month, rising over 44%. Each of the other components retreated, led by an 18% increase in initial unemployment claims. Walden says the picture being drawn is of a generally slowing North Carolina economy but with a bright spot of accelerated construction activity being propelled by falling interest rates and hurricane rebuilding. For the moment, his forecast is slow growth with no imminent recession in sight.

SLOW GROWTH from page C1 which he threatened to impose in May. Yet those threats still loom and are forcing many manufacturers to rethink their supply chains.

“The situation is crazy, driving a huge amount of work (and) costs, as well as potential supply disruptions,” a computer and electronics company told ISM.

In this Dec. 9, 2015, file photo, the company name of Dupont appears above its trading post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

Chemical manufacturer Chemours says the DuPont Co. massively downplayed the cost of environmental liabilities that Chemours would be saddled after it was spun off from DuPont in 2015.

Chemours says DuPont lowballed environmental liabilities Lawsuit claims officials downplayed environmental liabilities at N.C. plant, among others around the country, despite 2010 study to address chemical discharges into drinking water supply

By Randall Chase The Associated Press DOVER, Del. — The DuPont Co. massively downplayed the cost of environmental liabilities with which Chemours would be saddled when DuPont spun off its former performance chemicals unit in 2015, according to a lawsuit unsealed Friday.

The maximum liability exposure figures that DuPont certified prior to the spinoff have proven to be “systematically and spectacularly wrong,” Chemours alleges.

Chemours, for example, claims that it faces more than $200 million in costs to address environmental issues at a North Carolina manufacturing facility, 100 times DuPont’s estimated $2 million maximum liability. Potential environmental liabilities in New Jersey similarly far exceed the

$337 million cited by DuPont at the time of the spinoff, Chemours contends.

DuPont has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, saying any disputes arising from the separation of its former performance chemicals unit must be resolved through private arbitration.

“Chemours’ claims center on its hyperbolic allegations that the separation agreement was a one-sided ‘cram down.’ Far from it,” DuPont attorneys wrote in court filing Friday. “The spinoff of DuPont’s Performance Chemicals business into Chemours complied with all applicable legal requirements and followed standard practices relating to such transactions.”

Chemours said the filing of the lawsuit was in the best interest of its stakeholders.

Chemours is asking a judge to declare that it is not responsible for liabilities exceeding the maximums certified by DuPont. It also wants to be able to get DuPont to cover any historical DuPont liabilities that exceed the caps. Alternatively, it is asking that the $3.9 billion divided it paid DuPont at the time of the spinoff be returned.

The lawsuit was filed under seal last month, but Chemours

failed to file a redacted, public version as required within three days. A redacted version — virtually entirely blacked out — was docketed shortly after The Associated Press pointed out the expiration of the deadline and asked the court to unseal the complaint.

A judge ruled that the continued secrecy violated court rules and ordered the complaint unsealed.

Delaware’s Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected an appeal by DuPont.

Chemours claims that DuPont had “a keen incentive” to downplay environmental liabilities while extracting a multibillion-dollar dividend from Chemours that would help fund a stock buyback to ward off activist investor Trian Fund Management.

At the time of the spinoff, DuPont was facing multidistrict litigation involving 3,500 personal injury claims related to PFOA, a chemical used in the production of Teflon, Chemours noted. DuPont pegged the maximum liability for those cases at $128 million.

It settled 19 months later for $671 million, with DuPont agreeing to pay half the settlement amount, and up to $125 million more toward costs of other PFOA-related litigation.

DuPont similarly downplayed environmental liabilities at its Fayetteville Works plant in North Carolina, despite undertaking a study in 2010 to address chemical discharges into the Cape Fear River, which provides drinking water for tens of thousands of people, Chemours claims. DuPont’s options included investing $60 million to end the discharges, but the recommendation was to spend $20 million to reduce discharges by 70%. Instead, according to the lawsuit, DuPont spent $2.3 million on a system that eliminated only one waste stream.

“Coincidentally, this decision came right around the time DuPont conceived and announced its plan to spin off Chemours,” the lawsuit states. “... Why bother spending money to fix the problem, DuPont apparently reasoned, when it could be conveniently passed on to Chemours.”

In a consent order with the state of North Carolina, Chemours agreed last year to pay a $12 million penalty and $1 million for investigative costs, and to sharply reduce air emissions of compound known as GenX. The company says the total cost of the consent order will exceed $200 million.

New Jersey officials, meanwhile, filed several lawsuits against DuPont and Chemours earlier this year over DuPont’s legacy environmental liabilities.

According to Chemours’ lawsuit, state officials warned that the cost of compensating the state could be “staggeringly expensive.”

entertainment ‘Golden Girls’ appears to get better with pop culture age

By Terry Tang The Associated Press ALEXANDRA WILKINSON was only 2 months old when “The Golden Girls” ended its television run in 1992.

But she became a fan last year while taking a course called “Women and Aging: Lessons from the Golden Girls” at California State University, Long Beach. Now she streams episodes on Hulu. She owns a “Golden Girls” T-shirt. And when she graduated recently with a master’s degree in gerontology, she decorated her cap with a picture of “Golden Girl” Sophia along with the sardonic Sicilian’s trademark phrase, “Picture it.”

“I was amazed at how this TV show from before I was born really related to so many topics I’m learning about right now,” said Wilkinson, 27. “It doesn’t even matter what they’re talking about, whether it’s a serious concept or not. Their personalities just have a way of bringing humor into everything.”

The class, which finished its second year in May, is the latest example of the surprising pop culture longevity of Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia.

The Emmy-winning series revolved around four older women living together in Miami. It starred Bea Arthur, Rue McClanahan, Estelle Getty and Betty White, who is the only living cast member at age 97 (White, through her agent, declined an interview request). The show aired on NBC from 1985-1992.

Just in the last few years, however, there’s been a wave of merchandising, from a trivia game to Chia pets. Funko, known for its Pop dolls of sci-fi and fantasy characters, created “Golden Girls” figures, a limited-edition cereal and, most recently, PEZ dispensers. In 2015, a fan built an unofficial Lego set of the women in their home. Next February, a “Golden Girls” theme cruise will launch from — where else? — Miami.

Marsha Posner Williams, a co-producer on the series’ first three seasons, said the creators simply set out to tell stories about an often-overlooked segment of the population.

“This was a way of showing that even though you might be of a certain age, you’re not dead,” Williams said. “You’re full of life, full of laughter, full of sarcasm and it can be quite joyful.”

This Dec. 25, 1985 file photo shows the stars of the television series “The Golden Girls” , from left, Estelle Getty, Rue McClanahan, Bea Arthur and Betty White during a break in taping in Hollywood, Calif. The sitcom, which followed four women of a certain age living together in Miami, aired on NBC from 1985 to 1992. Nearly 35 years later, it continues to gain new fans and has inspired a wave of merchandising.

Unlike the ‘80s fashions worn in the show, the dialogue still holds up, Williams said, resonating with many people, from the gay community to millennials.

“All the issues are so real that they talk about, even though it was 35 years ago,” she said.

H. Alan Scott of Los Angeles has co-hosted a “Golden Girls” podcast for four years called “Out On the Lanai,” a reference to the patio where the women would often talk. He also stages drag shows as Sadie Pines, a riff on the fictitious Shady Pines retirement home where Sophia used to live.

He calls the show “timeless in a lot of ways because they weren’t necessarily topical in the jokes they did.”

Maria Claver, a gerontology professor who created the CSU Long Beach class with colleague Long Wang in spring 2018, thinks

nostalgia is one reason “The Golden Girls” endures. Many fans who watched when it originally aired are now in or facing their golden years. And the episodes have been helpful illustrations for her students.

“I think one of the strengths of using a show like ‘Golden Girls’ is that you can address sometimes uncomfortable or difficult topics with humor,” Claver said. “I think that makes students comfortable to talk about things like sexuality among older women.”

The weekly class touched on subjects like menopause, addiction, sexuality, dementia and caregiving. Claver and Wang would screen a relevant episode and then lead a discussion. There were guest speakers, including Williams.

As a super-fan, Claver also can’t help but delight in turning students on to the show’s entertain-

ment value.

“It is a thrill to introduce it to some of the younger students and by the end of the semester, they’re like ‘Omigosh, I’m totally a Dorothy,’” Claver said.

Wilkinson, the recent grad, said she can laugh along even when she has no idea who a guest star like Burt Reynolds is.

“Of course there are references I don’t quite understand. Like they’ll mention a musician or they’ll mention an actor I’ve never heard of,” Wilkinson said. “But for some reason, the way they deliver it is hilarious.”

Williams loves that “Golden Girls” keeps finding a new audience.

“We all do projects that we wish our names were not on,” she said.

“But, if you’re lucky, you have one in your career that you’re so fricking proud to be associated with.”

Judge: Warhol didn’t violate Prince picture copyright

By Larry Neumeister The Associated Press

RICHARD DREW | AP PHOTO | FILE

In this 1976 file photo, pop artist Andy Warhol smiles in New York. Warhol transcended a photographer’s copyright by transforming a picture of a vulnerable and uncomfortable Prince into an artwork that made the singer an “iconic, larger-than-life figure,” a judge ruled Monday, July 1, 2019.

NEW YORK (AP) — Andy Warhol transcended a photographer’s copyright by transforming a picture of a vulnerable and uncomfortable Prince into an artwork that made the singer an “iconic, larger-than-life figure,” a judge ruled Monday.

U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl in Manhattan sided with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts over renowned photographer Lynn Goldsmith.

The case tested whether the legendary artist who died in 1987 made fair use of a 1981 picture of the famed late singer when he created a series of 16 artworks that became known as the “Prince Series.”

The series contained 12 silkscreen paintings, two screen prints on paper and two drawings.

The judge noted that Goldsmith believed photographs she took of Prince in her New York City studio revealed that he was “not a comfortable person” and was a “vulnerable human being.”

In 1984, Vanity Fair licensed one of Goldsmith’s black-and-white studio portraits of Prince from her December 1981 shoot for $400 and commissioned Warhol to create an illustration of Prince for an article titled “Purple Fame,” Koeltl wrote.

He noted that the article said it featured a special portrait for Vanity Fair by Andy Warhol and contained a copyright attribution credit for the portrait that cited a “source photograph” by Goldsmith.

Koeltl said Warhol’s artworks

were in “stark contrast” to the original black-and-white photograph after the artist applied “loud, unnatural” colors.

“The Prince Series works can reasonably be perceived to have transformed Prince from a vulnerable, uncomfortable person to an iconic, larger-than-life figure,” the judge said. “The humanity Prince embodies in Goldsmith’s photograph is gone. Moreover, each Prince series work is immediately recognizable as a ‘Warhol’ rather than as a photograph of Prince — in the same way that Warhol’s famous representations of Marilyn Monroe and Mao are recognizable as ‘Warhols,’ not as realistic photographs of those persons.”

Koeltl said Warhol changed the picture so much that his artworks reflect the opposite mood of Goldsmith’s photo.

Goldsmith, a pioneering photographer known for unique portraits of famous musicians, claims a 2016 publication of the Warhol artwork destroyed a high-profile licensing opportunity. Her lawyer promises to appeal.

“Obviously we and our client are disappointed with the fair use finding, which continues the gradual erosion of photographers’ rights in favor of famous artists who affix their names to what would otherwise be a derivative work of the photographer and claim fair use by making cosmetic changes,” attorney Barry Werbin said in an email.

He said he hoped an appeal “will be successful and pull in the reigns of transformative use where photography is concerned.”

Japan official to Kardashian West: Kimono belongs to Japan

By Haruka Nuga The Associated Press TOKYO (AP) — Japan's trade minister says the kimono belongs to Japan — not to Kim Kardashian West's shapewear brand.

West announced the line, Kimono Solutionwear, last week.

But some Japanese critics on social media said the name, which the reality TV star, makeup mogul and budding lawyer trademarked, is an inappropriate take on centuries-old kimono clothing.

On Monday, West tweeted that she would launch her brand under a new name following careful thought and consideration.

Japan's trade minister, Hiroshige Seko, said Tuesday that the kimono is globally known as belonging to Japan, and urged U.S. trademark officials to examine the case appropriately.

"Kimono is Japan's cultural pride that we boast to the world.

Even in the United States, kimono is highly recognized as a Japanese thing," Seko told reporters.

"We hope the case is examined appropriately to reflect the purpose

of the trademark system."

Seko said he will dispatch senior officials to Washington next week for talks with U.S. trademark officials.

The planned kimono brand also triggered a backlash in Japan's ancient capital of Kyoto, home to many kimono makers and a popular tourist destination.

Kyoto Mayor Daisaku Kadokawa, who wears a kimono at work, said in a June 28 letter to West that kimono are not only part of Japan's cultural heritage but also the "fruit of craftsmanship and truly symbolize the sense of beauty, spirit and values of Japanese," and that she should perhaps visit the city to "experience the essence of kimono culture.

"We think that the name for kimono is an asset shared with all humanity who love kimono and its culture, therefore it should not be monopolized," said Kadokawa, who is campaigning to register kimono as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage.

Kadokawa on Tuesday thanked West for her decision to reconsider the brand name.
