NEWS BRIEFING

New chimp at NC Zoo gets name Asheboro A baby chimpanzee born at the N.C. Zoo now has a name chosen by public vote. Zoo officials have announced that the chimp born on Monday, March 18 is named Obi. Voters had four choices, including Ayo, Kojo and Masaka. The name Obi is of Nigerian origin and means “one who charms others” and “heart.” With the new baby, the zoo’s troop now consists of 16 chimpanzees — 10 females and six males, including Obi.

Voters choosing nominees to succeed late NC Rep. Jones Greenville More than two dozen candidates seeking to succeed the late U.S. Rep. Walter Jones Jr. (R-NC03) first must win their parties’ nominations. Voters went to the polls Tuesday in the 3rd Congressional District primaries. Seventeen Republicans, six Democrats and two Libertarians are on the ballots. Democratic and GOP party runoffs are possible in July if leading candidates fail to get over 30 percent of the vote. Nearly 4 percent of qualified voters cast early ballots in person or by mail. Results will be available Wednesday on nsjonline.com.

NC House releases proposed state budget $24B budget comes in under $25B projected revenue

By David Larson North State Journal RALEIGH — The North Carolina House announced Tuesday that they had completed work on the 2019-20 biennial budget. Co-chair of the House Appropriations Committee, Rep. Jason Saine (R-Lincoln), said the bill is a 3 percent increase over the 2018-19 budget, an increase of $689 million. The total is around $24 billion, a number agreed to in March with the Senate as the target for both chambers.

The increased spending in the budget “is easily paid for by growth and the sound fiscal and tax policies we’ve worked on for a few years. This just shows that conservative policy works,” Saine told North State Journal.

The budget bill, H.B. 966, transfers an additional $105 million to the savings reserve, often called the “rainy-day fund,” bringing the total in reserves to $1.36 billion. This fund is cited as key to responding to unforeseen crises, like natural disasters.

H.B. 966 also funds a continuing transition of the state’s Medicaid program, which provides health care for many low-income residents, from a fee-forservice model to a managed care model. With a feefor-service model, the state and providers often end up in long battles over pricing and billing, but many states have found success moving to a system where companies manage the care of the patients for a flat fee.

Funding for the “Raise the Age” law passed in 2017 is made available in this budget. North Carolina was the only state to automatically prosecute 16and 17-year-olds as adults. Now funding would allow them to be housed with juveniles rather than adults and to be charged in juvenile courts.

The new State Capital and Infrastructure Fund, known as SCIF, will receive 4 percent, or $953 million, from the state’s general fund tax revenue, and $249 million from other sources. This fund will be a pay-as-you-go account to fund additional infraSee BUDGET, page A2

Biden jumps into 2020 race, takes lead among Dems

By Steve Peoples The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — Declaring the “soul of this nation” at stake, former Vice President Joe Biden pushed into the crowded 2020 presidential contest last week and quickly sparked a fierce debate over the direction of the modern-day Democratic Party.

Biden will get a chance to take on Trump only if he survives a Democratic field that now spans at least 20 contenders. And his party’s more liberal wing was far from welcoming in the hours immediately after he declared his candidacy. Justice Democrats, a group created from the remnants of Ber-

nie Sanders’ failed 2016 campaign, came out against Biden on Thursday and spent much of the day assailing him on social media.

As an older white man with often centrist views, Biden must now prove he’s not out of step with Democrats trying to push the party to the left.

He would be the oldest person ever elected president — Trump was 70 in 2016 — even as his party embraces a new generation of diversity. He has yet to outline his positions on issues defining the 2020 Democratic primary, most notably “Medicare for All,” the universal health care plan auSee BIDEN, page A2

General Assembly in high gear heading into crossover

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal RALEIGH — The mad flurry of bill filings at the General Assembly has ceased and the May 9th crossover deadline is on the horizon, but that doesn’t mean there will be any slowing down on Jones Street.

“We’re attempting to do crossover and roll a budget out in the same week-and-a-half period,” said House Majority Leader Rep. John Bell. “It’s going to be very busy for the next few weeks around here in order for us to stay on target and hopefully get a state budget before the end of June to the governor.”

“I think at crossover you’ll see a lot of bills that deal with local and non-controversial issues on the calendar, and then you’ll see a handful of bills debated,” Bell said.

Bell said that any controversial bills such as court reform, organized labor bills or the various alcoholic beverage bills that have been filed would be discussed and hashed out in caucus prior to crossover.

Crossover is the date which a bill must be passed in one of the See NCGA, page A8

16 NC students awarded prestigious Goldwater Scholarships NSJ Staff RALEIGH — Students from several N.C. colleges and universities were recently named Goldwater Scholars. The awards were made by the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program, which honors former U.S. Senator and 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. The program is focused on developing scientists, mathematicians and engineers.

N.C. State and Duke each had four recipients and Davidson and Wake Forest each had three award winners. Gaston College and UNC Chapel Hill each had one awardee.

The scholarship is the most prestigious undergraduate scholarship given in science, engineering and mathematics. It is awarded annually and provides financial support of up to $7,500 per year. This year, 496 students received the award. Including the 2019 recipients, the foundation has awarded over $68 million to 8,628 since 1989.

In 2019, 1223 natural science, engineering and mathematics students were nominated by 443 academic institutions to compete for the scholarships. Goldwater Scholars have impressive academic and research credentials

ELECTION from page A1 thored by Sanders that has been embraced in one form or another by virtually the entire Democratic field.

Just a day into his campaign, the former vice president seemed to struggle at points on Friday under questioning about women who have said his unwanted touching made them uncomfortable. He appeared defensive when asked about his role in how Anita Hill was treated in 1991 when she accused then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment.

“I’m sorry this happened. But I’m not sorry in the sense that I did anything that was intentionally designed to do anything wrong or be inappropriate,” Biden said on ABC’s “The View,” referring to the women who’ve mentioned his unwanted touching.

Biden’s wife Jill Biden told

that have garnered the attention of prestigious post-graduate fellowship programs. Goldwater Scholars have been awarded 92 Rhodes Scholarships, 137 Marshall Awards, 159 Churchill Scholarships, 104 Hertz Fellowships and numerous other distinguished awards like the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships.

The N.C. recipients of the scholarship are: Ellie Mackintosh, Davidson College, is a chemistry student who plans to earn a PhD in organic chemistry for a career in teaching and cancer research academia.

Hossein Bakhshandeh. Davidson College, is a life sciences student who plans to pursue a dual MD/PhD degree and work as a physician.

Katherine Barlis, Davidson College, studies psychology and plans to pursue a PhD in human neuropsychology and a career in human neuroscience.

Azim Dharani, Duke University, studies chemistry and plans to pursue a PhD in chemistry with a goal of teaching at the university level.

She says the former vice president and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate “is going to have to be a better judge of when people approach him and how he’s going to react.”

In the ABC interview that aired Tuesday, Jill Biden said her husband “connects with people” through physical contact, especially from “men and women looking for comfort.”

After a weekend where new polls show Biden with a lead in the crowded Democratic field, Biden came out punching at Trump on Monday accusing the president of abusing the powers of his office and ignoring everyone but his political base. Biden argued at a political rally in the battleground state of Pennsyl-

vania that strengthening unions and promoting social and economic unity can restore Democrats to the White House.

Trump held his own rally Saturday night, timed to coincide with the annual White House Press Association dinner that Trump has skipped each year of his presidency, in Green Bay Wisconsin. In his speech, Trump focused on the left-ward turn of the Democratic Party and the policies being discussed by the party’s presidential contenders.

“They should change that to the Radical Left Democrat Party,” he told a crowd that nearly filled the 10,500-seat Risch Center in Green Bay. “It’s crazy what’s going on with them. Oh, do I look forward to running against them.”

It was a signal that what the president and Republicans have been saying about Democrats for months could be a lasting part of his reelection campaign sto-

ry. Trump, who loves branding opponents, pointed to the Green New Deal, abortion rights policy and the self-described socialism of prominent Democrats to paint the whole party as radical.

In contrast, he said, “The Republican Party is the party of all Americans. And common sense,” he said, eliciting cheers and chants of “USA!” Trump also referenced his nicknames for two of the leading Democratic presidential contenders — “Sleepy Joe” Biden and “Crazy Bernie” Sanders — and predicted that Elizabeth Warren’s candidacy was already over.

Turning to his nickname for Warren, a critic of Trump and a frequent target of the president, Trump said: “I think Pocahontas, she’s finished, she’s out.”

BUDGET from page A1 structure as North Carolina grows in population and seeks to upgrade old roads, bridges and other public construction without incurring new debt.

For the education portion of the budget, often the most carefully scrutinized, the House allocated $14 billion for 2019-20 and $14.3 billion in 2020-21, an increase of $270 million over the prior biennium.

Much of this funding focused on job readiness, like money for workforce development at community colleges, $2.8 million for career coaches at high schools and funding for job training in the state’s prisons.

During a press conference announcing the budget, House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland), spoke largely on teacher pay, as it continues to be the most discussed area of the budget. Teachers, who pressured their school districts across the state to cancel classes for the day, will be protesting May 1 for higher pay, Medicaid expansion and other issues.

“A few facts about teacher pay in North Carolina,” said Moore. “North Carolina has passed 18 states in national teacher pay rankings since 2014. Today, we have the second-highest teacher pay in the Southeast, and the National Association of Educators even recently ranked North Carolina as third -astest rising state in the nation for teacher pay since 2014.”

Moore announced that in addition to the pay raises, which focus on veteran teachers, they would also reinstate the teaching fellows’ program and again fund pay increases for those with a master’s degree.

Both of these areas were controversial when they were eliminated in previous budgets.

Now the budget process will pass to the Senate, who will get a chance to make adjustments to the House’s proposal. Saine says the process could take a couple weeks, or it may be longer.

“But the fact of the matter is they’re getting a budget passed to them in early May rather than early June, so they’ll have a full month head start, and we can start working out the differences,” said Saine. “By and large, though, we have many of the same priorities.”

With a Democratic governor in Roy Cooper as well as the loss of their veto-proof majorities last fall, Republican leaders in the House and Senate may now see their main obstacle as Democrats rather than in the rivalries between the chambers that built up during their years of control.

As a sign of this likely coming battle, the left-leaning Budget and Tax Center responded to the budget with a statement, saying, “As the House budget signals the beginning of budget debate in earnest, it is concerning that the baseline has been set so low and that so many of North Carolina’s priorities will be sidelined because our leaders continue to choose the interests of the rich and big companies over N.C. families.”

But House Republicans believe they provided a good beginning for negotiations with the Senate and the governor.

“The purpose of this and all budgets is to keep the economy of North Carolina fiscally sound,” Saine told North State Journal. “We’ve done that with this budget.”

Cooper pushes for Medicaid expansion

State Agency, Duke Energy contest coal ash cost and removal scope “The Utilities Commission has made it clear these are customer costs, and we have a responsibility to manage those costs as wisely as possible.

Bill Norton, Duke Energy spokesman

By Emery P. Dalesio The Associated Press RALEIGH — North Carolina’s environmental agency exceeded its authority by ordering Duke Energy to dig up all of its coal ash and move it from unlined storage sites where toxic chemicals have seeped into water supplies, the country’s largest electric company said Friday.

The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality didn’t consider all the scientific evidence when it announced earlier this month that the company couldn’t use a lower-cost option, Duke Energy said in an administrative challenge to the decision. The storage basins at six coal-burning power plants affected by the agency’s order are considered low risk and neighbors are already being connected to drinking water supplies beyond their water wells, the company said.

Coal ash is the residue left after decades of burning coal to produce electricity. It contains toxic metals such as mercury, lead and arsenic.

The agency said in a statement Friday that it is requiring full excavation because it believes that is the best way to protect public health and the environment.

But Duke’s lawyers said state regulators jumped the gun by ordering everything excavated before considering steps to protect public health and the environment that would be less expensive.

“DEQ’s order is not supported by the evidence (including sci-

entific evidence) and imposes significant and unjustified expense on Duke Energy and its customers without measurable environmental benefits,” said the company’s brief to the state’s Office of Administrative Hearings, which hears challenges to agency decisions.

The company has said it wants to cover the storage pits at six of its 14 North Carolina coal-burning power plants with a waterproof cap, saying that would prevent rain from passing through and carrying chemicals through the unlined bottoms.

The Charlotte-based power company has projected the cost of removing coal ash from eight of its 14 North Carolina coal-burning power plants at about $5.2 billion.

The extra excavation the state environmental agency demanded at six additional plants could nearly double the cost to $10 billion, Duke Energy said.

Meanwhile, N.C. Attorney General Josh Stein on Friday asked the state Supreme Court to overrule last year’s decision by utilities regulators allowing Duke Energy to collect $778 million in cleanup costs from customers rather than the company’s shareholders. The North Carolina Utilities Commission fined the company $100 million for mismanaging its cleanup.

But the regulator also allowed Duke Energy to add a 7% return, similar to a profit margin, “allowing Duke to profit from cleaning up the pollution that it caused,” Stein’s office said. Stein said it’s unfair to force ratepayers to cov-

er all the costs of cleaning up coal ash and not expect the company’s shareholders to pay anything.

“Duke Energy knew for many years that the way it handled coal ash was risky and could pollute groundwater, but it failed to act prudently when it should have.

And now, Duke argues that the people of North Carolina should pay the full cost of cleaning up coal ash,” Stein said in a statement.

The utilities commission’s decision “also allows Duke Energy to raise customers’ rates so that Duke can earn a profit on the cost of cleaning up its coal ash mess,” Stein said. “That is also unfair and unacceptable.”

Duke Energy may be fighting the higher cost of excavating its remaining coal ash pits because of the risk that it will be blocked at some point from charging ratepayers, said Dave Rogers, who heads the Sierra Club’s North Carolina effort to stop burning coal in favor of cleaner power. That’s despite the potential for the company to pocket hundreds of millions of dollars in profit for the extra excavation work.

Asked whether the company feared being unable to recoup all coal-ash costs, Duke Energy spokesman Bill Norton responded that the environmental agency’s order is not supported by science.

“The Utilities Commission has made it clear these are customer costs, and we have a responsibility to manage those costs as wisely as possible. We’d rather deploy funds into renewables and a stronger grid,” Norton wrote in an email.

NCDOT TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING FOR THE PROPOSED ALL AMERICAN FREEWAY WIDENING FROM OWEN DRIVE TO I-295 IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY

RALEIGH — Gov. Roy Cooper used a round-table discussion with rural hospital executives last week to raise pressure on Republican lawmakers to expand Medicaid coverage to more uninsured adults.

Executives from seven hospitals met with the Democratic governor and expressed support for offering Medicaid to more uninsured adults who can’t otherwise qualify because they make too much money. They said the expansion would help them reduce the cost their hospitals bear for uncompensated care.

A bill filed this month by some House Republicans would require recipients of the expanded benefit to pay premiums and meet some work requirements. A similar bill was proposed in 2017, but failed to pass the General Assembly.

Cooper expressed reservations about the bill’s work requirements, but said he wants to work with legislators to hammer out specifics of Medicaid expansion.

“Let’s concentrate on this expansion that will be positive for everyone. We know this will increase the bottom line so that rural hospitals can hire more doctors and nurses, so that health care premiums for everyone can be affected, so that jobs can be created,” Cooper said. “Then, we negotiate those other issues.”

Expanding Medicaid has long been a goal of Cooper’s. This session he has more leverage to negotiate after Democrats broke veto-proof majorities in both houses of the General Assembly last fall.

But any expansion would face an uphill battle. While some House Republicans support expansion, Cooper’s greatest challenge comes from Senate Republicans, which includes more members who oppose the idea.

If the bill introduced by House Republicans passes, the federal government would pay 90% of the cost of Medicaid expansion and the state would cover the other 10% through assessments, or taxes on hospitals and other health care providers. At Wednesday’s discussion, Lee Isley, the CEO for Nash UNC Health Care, said that if North Carolina chooses to expand Medicaid, he wants to see the state’s 10% cost shared among hospitals and health insurance companies.

“Let’s concentrate on this expansion that will be positive for everyone. We know this will increase the bottom line so that rural hospitals can hire more doctors and nurses, so that health care premiums for everyone can be affected, so that jobs can be created. ... Then, we negotiate those other issues.”

“All we’re asking is a fair distribution for providers to be able to share in the cost so that we can all share in the benefit,” Isley said.

Five hospitals submitted resolutions to the governor’s office at the event, urging the General Assembly to expand Medicaid in North Carolina as soon as possible.

The hospitals say the survival of rural hospitals is tied to increasing the Medicaid rolls.

Since 2010, dozens of rural hospitals have closed in the U.S. Four were in North Carolina.

“Last year we had $17 million worth of uncompensated care, so not quite a third ... of our business is uncompensated,” said Erlanger Western Carolina Hospital CEO Mark Kimball. “Every month we start in the hole a million and half dollars, and that’s tremendous, and with this expansion of Medicaid, that could help us tremendously.”

Part of this debt is due to a high volume of emergency room patients, many of whom are uninsured.

Last year, Isley said his hospital lost about $25 million. He said Nash UNC Health Care, which serves roughly 150,000 people, sees about 70,000 emergency visits a year, which he called “a high percent.”

The hospital executives said a lack of primary care physicians within their communities serves to increase emergency room visits for untreated chronic health issues.

“In our region, we’ve got a growing doctor desert,” said Cape Fear Valley Hospital CEO Michael Nagowski. “In Harnett county, we have two OB-GYNs and one just told me he’s retiring.”

To address this, the bill filed by House Republicans would also set up a rural health grant program that would put millions of dollars toward recruiting and retaining doctors and expanding health services.

However, Senate Republicans dispute claims that Medicaid expansion would benefit the state.

Senate leader Phil Berger was not available for comment Wednesday, but his office referred to his previous statements arguing that taxpayers in the private insurance market will end up paying the price for Medicaid expansion.

“There is no such thing as ‘free’ money, someone always has to pay,” Berger wrote in a March 11 statement.

Home invasion suspects caught returning to house

Base-wide blackout part of training exercise

Martin County Four men suspected in a home invasion are in custody after Martin County Sheriff’s deputies say they went back to the house.

Police were beginning their investigation into Thursday night’s incident when the four suspects drove by. The sheriff’s office says the deputies stopped the vehicle the suspects were in and arrested them.

According to the deputies, one of the invasion victims was hit with a pipe but didn’t need medical treatment.

Cumberland County Fort Bragg officials said a power outage that lasted for hours was part of an unannounced training exercise. The base purposely cut power throughout the installation “to identify shortcomings in our infrastructure, operations and security.” They said they didn’t announce the exercise so that they could test people’s “real-world reactions” to the type of problems caused by an event such as a cyberattack.

House passes bill to prevent rape kit delays The Associated Press RALEIGH — New processes to test thousands of sexual assault kits held by local N.C. law enforcement agencies are advancing in the House.

A bill approved by the House judiciary committee on Monday seeks to prevent future backlogs of sometimes-forgotten rape kits held in police storage lockers around the state.

The measure directs police and sheriff

departments starting this summer to submit new, completed kits for testing to the State Crime Lab, an approved thirdparty lab or the Department of Public Safety within 45 days of receiving them.

It also directs local law enforcement to create panels that review sexual assault kits and prioritize which should be tested first.

The House budget is expected to contain $3 million to help pay for outside lab testing of the outstanding kits.

Something’s happenin’ here with GDP growth

First quarter 2019 GDP growth came in at 3.2% last Friday. The consensus among professional economists and prognosticators was 2%.

“THERE’S SOMETHING HAPPENING HERE. What it is ain’t exactly clear” are the opening lines to the 1966 Buffalo Springfield hit song, “For What It’s Worth.”

For what it is worth, the same can be said about recent economic data in America. “Everyone,” meaning all of the experts and commentators on talk shows, keep predicting a significant slowdown of the American economy and have done so since the night Donald Trump was elected in 2016.

Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman proudly wrote in the New York Times in the wee hours after Trump won the electoral college: “If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never”.

Ouch. One has to think Mr. Krugman wished he could have a doover with that colossal gaffe.

Except apparently he doesn’t. On April 8, 2019, only 23 days ago, he wrote: ‘It’s true that U.S. economic growth got a bump for two quarters last year, and Trumpists are still pretending to believe that we’ll have great growth for a decade. But at this point last year’s growth is looking like a brief and rapidly fading sugar high”.

First quarter 2019 GDP growth came in at 3.2% last Friday. The consensus among professional economists and prognosticators was 2%.

What has happened? Has every economist turned into a nonanalytical clone of Paul Krugman? Why has the source of this newfound economic growth not been “exactly clear” for everyone to see?

One important factor could be the higher one-year write-off of the purchase cost of new machinery and equipment for small businesses in the Trump tax bill. Business owners point to this tax change as being an underappreciated aspect of the accelerated economic growth we are seeing in the U.S. economy.

A small business contractor can buy a new truck and expense the whole cost of the vehicle in the first year even though it might take five to seven years to pay for the loan. If a small business had $45,000 of net profit, they could offset that with the $45,000 cost of the new vehicle and drive their taxable income way down to cite one very simple example. Depending on their tax bracket, the owner could save up to $15,000 in federal taxes and $2,000 in state taxes which is money that

stays in their pocket, not the government’s.

Economic growth is directly attributable to productivity gains in the economy. Buying new machines that can produce more product at a lower cost is the very definition of “productivity gains.” We all benefit from such productivity gains whether we are employees, owners, investors, stockholders or retired from the workforce.

Joe Biden, the former vice president under President Barack Obama, entered the presidential race last week ostensibly to “take America back to the golden days” he apparently thought happened while he and President Obama were leading our country.

Americans throughout modern history have considered 2% annual real growth “dismal” and “disappointing.” Former President Obama and Vice President Biden considered 2% to be the “new normal” for the American economy going forward. Forever.

Annual real GDP growth never exceeded 2% during any of the eight years the Obama/Biden team was in charge. How odd that as soon as they left office, GDP is now growing almost 60% faster under the profree enterprise policies of President Trump as passed by a Republican Congress with zero Democratic votes.

If you want to know one big difference between the Obama and Trump White Houses, consider that in eight years, the Obama Administration did not add this provision to help spur the economy back to full health.

The difference between 1% GDP annual growth to 3% GDP growth across 35 years, about a generation, would mean the U.S. economy would double from $21.5 trillion to $43 trillion in 2054.

For what it’s worth, 3.2% growth is far preferable to 2.0%. Why go backward into the future?

Democratic presidential field exposes the folly of obsessing over identity politics

Nothing says ‘I’m down with viewing a woman as my equal’ like urging her male opponents to step aside so she can get ahead.

AS THEIR DIVERSE presidential candidate field continues to expand, Democratic strategists are becoming increasingly frustrated with polling numbers that have consistently shown white males leading their female contenders.

Because of this, a growing number of journalists and interviewers have taken to asking nonminority candidates for president, including those not leading the pack, to acknowledge their “white privilege” and to commit to picking a female for their vice-presidential running mate.

“Spoiler alert: I’m a white man,” 2020 candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) tweeted almost apologetically last week.

In the same tweet, Swalwell confirmed that he would ask “a woman to serve as VP” should he win the Democratic nomination for president.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who is black, was even asked the VP question at a recent progressive women’s forum in Houston. “I will have a woman running mate. To me, it is really clear that we do that,” he answered to loud applause.

The Democratic Party’s obsession with identity politics isn’t anything new. However, it has become more pronounced over the last several months as their presidential contenders strive to show that their track record demonstrates a willingness to bring all voices to the table in spite of the fact that they were born white and/or a man.

But the various pledges to pick a woman as their second in command have not been enough for some Democrats.

Democratic strategist Alexis Grenell told one cable news network in March that all male candidates needed to bow out of the race because it’s time for a woman in the White House. “I’m over it. I’m over them all,” she said. “What they can really be doing is putting their resources behind these women.”

“I don’t understand why [Sen. Bernie Sanders] was running now when Elizabeth Warren, who’s his ideological twin, could really benefit

from his support, his money, his movements,” Grenell ranted.

Liberal writer Matthew Yglesias was even more direct in demanding male candidates step aside. In response to Booker’s proclamation, Yglesias wrote: “The male candidate worth voting for would be the one who actually stands aside in favor of a woman he thinks would do a great job.”

Nothing says “I’m down with viewing a woman as my equal” like urging her male opponents to step aside so she can get ahead, right?

The Democratic Party’s front and center focus on identity politics this election year demonstrates the folly of putting physical characteristics ahead of leadership qualifications in selecting candidates for higher office.

In spite of how the media and movers and shakers within the party feel about picking candidates based on their gender and/or race, rank and file Democrats who are being polled have consistently picked the people they feel are best qualified to be president.

If they felt one of the female candidates or one of the candidates of color in the race could do that, they’d be ahead in this race, not Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders. In spite of my philosophical disagreements with them, Democratic voters have shown a willingness to pick minority candidates who they thought could win an election.

Sadly, their party strategists are regressing with their demands that a minority candidate be picked this election cycle, regardless of qualifications.

Elections are about winning, not moral victories and “firsts.”

Democratic voters are showing they understand that this year much more so than their party leaders.

SO FAR in 2019, U.S. retailers have announced 5,994 store closures. That’s more than the total for all of last year (5,864).

“The flood of store closures will likely continue for quite some time,” said Coresight Research CEO Deborah Weinswig.

The growth of online sales “could force up to 75,000 stores to close by 2026,” according

to a UBS estimate. That would include “more than 20,000 clothing stores and about 10,000 consumer electronics stores.”

GUEST OPINION | SHERRY JARRELL

Universal Basic Income UBI’s income equality may sound fair and equitable, but it is both misguided and unsustainable.

UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME (UBI), a variant of socialism, seeks income equality. In typical UBI programs, the federal government sends out regular checks to everyone regardless of their earnings or employment.

The idea is gaining traction in the United States.

Specific UBI proposals vary. Franklin Roosevelt proposed a “Second Bill of Rights” in 1944 which included the “right to a useful and remunerative job.” Sen. Bernie Sanders’ more recent version guarantees a job with training, benefits and wages of at least $15 an hour to all who want it. Andrew Yang, another 2020 presidential contender, proposes a “Freedom Dividend” of $1,000 a month to all Americans between the ages of 18 and 64 to combat what he calls the devastating effects of automation on human-held jobs. Economists Stephanie Kelton and Darrick Hamilton at The New School, and the left-leaning Levy Economics Institute at Bard College, advocate a jobs guarantee program “to eliminate working poverty and involuntary unemployment.”

UBI’s income equality may sound fair and equitable, but it is both misguided and unsustainable. First, it is misguided because, once the goal of income equality is reached, whether your income has gone up or down, the incentive to work and take risks to achieve greater income wanes. Further, most individuals move in and out of various income brackets as they move through their careers, due either to necessity (e.g. to care for children or elderly parents) or choice (e.g., to go to school to learn a trade). Given this fluidity, how does one determine the “ideal” level of UBI and who should determine it? Does it increase with the CPI, skills, experience or age? The details are mind-boggling.

Second, UBI is inherently unsustainable. Those advocating UBI display a frighteningly naive misunderstanding about its source of funding, namely profits from the private economy. There are two main issues. One, even under the most generous of assumptions, there simply isn’t enough private wealth in the U.S. economy to finance even the most basic UBI. Two, and most importantly, once UBI is implemented, even this level of private profit funding would evaporate. Why? Because every dollar of government spending comes from profits generated by private industry. Those profits result from a company offering a product that customers voluntarily choose to buy for a price that more than covers the costs incurred to

design, produce, advertise, deliver and service that product. This is the essence economic freedom, the manifestation of the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

In fact, until the mandated premium for the Affordable Care Act, there was no instance where U.S. citizens were forced to buy something.

For every dollar of profits taken by the government in the form of taxes, some is used up in the bureaucracy of collecting and spending those monies. As a result, only a fraction of that dollar remains to be spent on UBI or any other program. At the end of that fiscal period, when the government has spent all the tax revenues, it has nothing left. Unlike private industry, the government is not self-financing. It has to come back to private industry to collect taxes all over again to finance next year’s spending.

What about government borrowing and debt, you may ask. It turns out that all government spending, including borrowing and refinancing, is enabled by private industry profits: no one would invest in a U.S. government bond if they did not have confidence that they would be repaid. It is the productivity of the U.S. economy that generates the profits that enables the government to borrow, pay interest and refinance its debt. Again, the government does not produce its own financing.

It depends entirely on the profits generated by private industry.

What would private industry have done with that dollar of profits had it not been taxed away? It would have reinvested it into the people and assets that generated the products and services that created the profits in the first place. Those assetsin-place create earnings not just this year but for several years to come, the present value of which is likely an additional two or three dollars of wealth.

So for every dollar of profits taken as taxes to pay for UBI, society has given up three or four dollars of economic wealth that would have supported the very families that UBI claims to support, but at lesser amounts, and with less economic freedom.

UBI is a fundamentally flawed idea — claims that it could work as described are misleading at best, and outright fraud and deception at worst.

It is “feel-good” legislation that would be an unmitigated disaster for the economy.

MY LONGTIME FRIEND And colleague Dr. Thomas Sowell just published a revised and enlarged edition of “Discrimination and Disparities.” It lays waste to myth after myth about the causes of human differences not only in the United States but around the globe. Throughout the book, Sowell shows that socioeconomic outcomes differ vastly among individuals, groups and nations in ways that cannot be easily explained by any one factor, whether it’s genetics, sex or race discrimination, or a history of gross mistreatment that includes expulsion and genocide.

In his book “The Philadelphia Negro” (1899), W.E.B. Du Bois posed the question as to what would happen if white people lost their prejudices overnight. He said that it would make little difference to most blacks. He said: “Some few would be promoted, some few would get new places — the mass would remain as they are” until the younger generation began to “try harder” and the race “lost the omnipresent excuse for failure: prejudice.”

Sowell points out that if historical injustices and persecution were useful explanations of group disadvantage, Jews would be some of the poorest and leasteducated people in the world today. Few groups have been victimized down through history as have the Jews. Despite being historical targets of hostility and lethal violence, no one can argue that as a result Jews are the most disadvantaged people.

If historical injustices and persecution were useful explanations of group disadvantage, Jews would be some of the poorest and leasteducated people in the world today.

Jews are not alone in persecution either. The number of overseas Chinese slaughtered by Vietnamese mobs and the number of Armenians slaughtered by mobs in the Ottoman Empire in just one year exceeds the number of black Americans lynched in the history of the U.S. From 1882-1968, 4,743 total lynchings occurred in the United States, of which 3,446 of the victims were black. Sowell concludes this section suggesting that it is dangerous for society to depict outcome differences as evidence or proof of malevolent actions that need to be counterattacked or avenged.

Politicians and others who are now calling for reparations to blacks for slavery should take note of Sowell’s argument.

There’s considerable handwringing among educational “experts” about the black/white academic achievement gap.

Part of the persistence of that gap can be laid at the feet of educators who replaced what worked with what sounded good.

One notable example of success is the achievement of students at the all-black Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C., from 1870 to 1955. During that period, Dunbar students frequently outscored white students on achievement tests in the Washington, D.C., area. Sowell, who studied Dunbar and other high-achieving black schools, says Dunbar “had unsparing standards for both school work and for such behavioral qualities a punctuality and social demeanor. Dunbar’s homework requirements were more than most other public schools. Some Dunbar parents complained to the D.C. Board of Education about the large amount of homework required.”

Dunbar High School was not the only black school with a record of success that would be the envy of today’s public schools.

Schools such as Frederick Douglass (Baltimore), Booker T. Washington (Atlanta), PS 91 (Brooklyn), McDonogh 35 (New Orleans) and others operated at a similar level of excellence. By the way, these excelling students weren’t solely members of the black elite; most had parents who were manual laborers, domestic servants, porters and maintenance men.

Observing the historical success of these and other black schools, one wonders about the catchwords of Chief Justice Earl Warren’s statement that separate schools “are inherently unequal.” That vision led to racial integration going from being a means to an end to racial integration becoming an end all by itself. Sowell doesn’t say this, but in my view, integration becoming the goal is what has made diversity and inclusion the end all and be all of today’s educators at many levels.

Dr. Thomas Sowell’s “Discrimination and Disparities” is loaded with pearls of wisdom from which we can all benefit, and as such, this will not be my final discussion of his masterpiece.

NATION & WORLD Clashes rock Venezuela as Guaido urges opposition uprising

By Scott Smith The Associated Press CARACAS, Venezuela — Armored vehicles plowed into anti-government protesters as troops loyal to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro tried to restore order Tuesday, after opposition leader Juan Guaidó took to the streets in a risky attempt to lead a military uprising against the embattled socialist.

It was by far the most serious challenge yet to Maduro’s rule and threatened to engulf the oil-rich nation in violence after months of mostly peaceful protests led by Guaidó, since he declared himself interim president with the backing of the U.S. and dozens of other countries.

Still, the surprise rebellion, dubbed “Operation Freedom,” seemed to have garnered only limited military support.

The dramatic events began early Tuesday when Guaidó, flanked by a few dozen national guardsmen and some armored crowd-control vehicles, released a three-minute video filmed near a Caracas air base in which he urged civilians and others in the armed forces to join a final push to topple Maduro.

In a surprise, Leopoldo Lopez, his political mentor and the nation’s most-prominent opposition activist, stood alongside him. Detained in 2014 for leading a previous round of anti-government unrest, Lopez said he had been released from house arrest by security forces adhering to an order from Guaidó.

“I want to tell the Venezuelan people: This is the moment to take to the streets and accompany these patriotic soldiers,” Lopez declared.

As the two opposition leaders coordinated actions from vehicles parked on a highway overpass, troops loyal to Maduro sporadically fired tear gas from inside the adjacent Carlota air base.

A crowd that quickly swelled to a few thousand scurried for cover, reappearing later with Guaidó at a nearby plaza away from the disturbances.

A smaller group of masked youths stayed behind on the highway, lobbing rocks and Molotov cocktails toward the air base and setting a government bus on fire. Amid the mayhem, an armored utility vehicle drove at full speed into the crowd. Two demonstrators, their heads and legs bloodied, were rushed away on a motorcycle.

“It’s now or never,” said one of the young rebellious soldiers, his face covered in the blue bandanna worn by the

“I want to tell the Venezuelan people: This is the moment to take to the streets and accompany these patriotic soldiers.”

Leopoldo Lopez few dozen insurgent soldiers Amid the confusion, Maduro tried to project an image of strength, saying he had spoken to several regional military commanders who reaffirmed their loyalty.

“Nerves of steel!” he said in a message posted on Twitter.

The events, playing out in the opposition’s stronghold in a wealthier neighborhood of eastern Caracas, appeared not to have triggered a broader military revolt.

Flanked by top military commanders, Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López condemned Guaido’s move as a “terrorist” act and “coup attempt” that was bound to fail like past uprisings.

“Those who try to take Miraflores with violence will be met with violence,” he said on national television, referring to the presidential palace where hundreds of government supporters, some of them brandishing firearms, had gathered in response to a call to defend Maduro.

He later said that Col. Yerzon Jimenez, the operations head of a national guard unit, was shot in the neck by demonstrators.

Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza said the “right-wing extremists” would not succeed in fracturing the armed forces, which have largely stood with the socialist leader throughout the months of turmoil.

“Since 2002, we’ve seen the same pattern,” Arreaza told The Associated Press, adding that most of Caracas was calm. “They call for violence, a coup, and send people into the streets so that there are confrontations and deaths.

And then from the blood they try to construct a narrative.”

Small groups of protesters threw up blockades of debris at several downtown intersections about 10 blocks from the presidential palace. But police in riot gear moved in quickly to clear the roads.

Meanwhile, most shops and businesses were closed and the streets of the capital unusually quiet, as people huddled at home to await the outcome of the day’s drama.

Guaidó said he called for the uprising to restore Venezuela’s constitutional order, broken when Maduro was sworn in earlier this year for a second term following elections boycotted by the opposition and considered illegitimate by dozens of countries.

For weeks, Guaidó had been promising a final push against Maduro, dubbed “Operation Freedom,” to coincide with planned protests Wednesday.

But few observers gave it much chance of success as a stalemate emerged that left regular Venezuelans, already struggling from hyperinflation and blackouts, in the middle of a political battle between Guaidó and Maduro, who has managed to preserve the backing of his military as well as allies like Russia and Cuba.

Guaidó said that in the coming hours he would release a list of top commanders supporting the uprising. There were unconfirmed reports that Gen. Manuel Christopher Figuera, who heads the feared intelligence agency responsible for keeping Lopez in state custody, was among members of the security forces who had decided to flip.

Anti-government demonstrators gathered in several other cities, although there were no reports that Guaidó’s supporters had taken control of any military installations.

“The armed forces have taken the right decision,” said Guaidó. “With the support of the Venezuelan people and the backing of our constitution they are on the right side of history.”

As events unfolded, governments from around the world expressed support for Guaidó while reiterating calls to avoid violent confrontation.

U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton, in a Twitter post directed at defense minister Padrino, said the armed forces “must protect the Constitution and the Venezuelan people.”

Meanwhile, Spain’s socialist caretaker government urged restraint, while the governments of Cuba and Bolivia reiterated their support for Maduro.

“We hope with all of our strength that there is no bloodshed. We support a peaceful democratic process in Venezuela. We support the immediate holding of an election for a new president,” Spanish government spokeswoman Isabel Celaá said.

Homeland chief says more funds needed to handle crush of migrants

By Colleen Long The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said Tuesday the department is running out of money amid the crush of migrants crossing the Southern border, and the White House will send a supplemental request for more funds.

McAleenan told a House panel the money will be for temporary and semi-permanent facilities to process families and children and increase detention. He didn’t specify a figure.

“Upgrades are badly needed,” he said. “We will need funding even sooner.”

The facilities are outdated, designed when the flow of migrants over the border was mainly Mexican men who could be processed and returned quickly. Now, most of the people coming are Central American families that cannot be easily returned. Nearly 100,000 migrants crossed the border in March, a 12year high.

McAleenan said President Donald Trump would also be sending legislative requests for faster deportations and to ask that families be detained for the length of their immigration case. Right now, children cannot be detained longer than about 20 days per a federal court agreement that governs the rights of children in immigration custody.

Trump said in a memorandum signed Monday that he would begin charging asylum seekers to process their applications, but did not specify a fee, and directed his administration to resolve cases within 180 days. It can take months for cases to be resolved. The immigration court has a massive backlog of about 1 million cases.

He also wants to bar anyone who has entered or tried to enter the country illegally from receiving a provisional work permit and is calling on officials to immediately revoke work authorizations when people are denied asylum and ordered removed from the country.

McAleenan told the committee he was there to help try to solve the border crisis through bipartisan work — and he was praised by many of the lawmakers from both political parties.

Democratic Congresswoman Nita Lowey, the chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee, congratulated McAleenan on taking over at a critical time for a department, but hinted it would be a tough job. McAleenan, the former head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, has been in charge about two weeks.

“It seems like the car is driving off the cliff with no one to take the wheel,” she said of the DHS, referring to the staff shake-up orchestrated by the White House that saw top leaders leave and resulted in the resignation of former Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

“Although I guess Mr. Secretary, you are now driving. Congratulations,” Lowey said.

NCGA from page A1 two chambers in order to remain eligible for consideration for the rest of the session.

As of April 30, there are over 1,650 bills with a “currently pending” status at the General Assembly, with 1,001 in the House and 656 bills in the Senate. Including resolutions and changes to current laws, roughly 230 items have passed a third reading. In the 2017 long session, just under 400 bills made it to crossover.

The House and Senate have filed a combined total of 333 K-12 education bills – 203 of them were filed in the House and 60 of them deal with school calendar flexibility bills.

The two dueling school construction funding bills, HB 241, the Education Bond Act and SB 5, Building North Carolina’s Future, have been passed in at least one chamber and are eligible to continue after crossover. The House bill focuses on issuance of a bond to pay for spending needs, while the Senate Bill relies on using a ‘pay as you go’ method that uses the State Capital and Infrastructure Fund and avoids the state accumulating debt.

The bill that ultimately survives the crossover deadline may depend on the outcome of GOP caucus discussions held Tuesday — the eve of the anticipated N.C. Association of Educator’s May 1 teacher protest. The NCAE’s list of demands includes Medicaid expansion, restoration of extra pay for teacher’s master’s degrees and a $15 minimum wage for support staff. The planned May 1 protest has resulted in school closings across the state.

Over 820,000 students are affected by school closures arising from teacher’s attending the protest in Raleigh.

Woods skipping Wells Fargo Charlotte Tiger Woods, coming off his remarkable fifth Masters win, is not coming to Charlotte for this week’s Wells Fargo Championship. Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, said the 43-year-old is “not ready physically or mentally” to play again after winning his first major in 11 years. Quail Hollow Club will still has plenty of star power this week, with top-20 players Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Paul Casey, Jason Day, Tony Finau, Patrick Reed and North Carolina native Webb Simpson all in the field.

Wake Forest signs Clawson to extension through 2026 Winston-Salem Wake Forest has signed coach Dave Clawson to a contract extension through the 2026 season. Athletic director Ron Wellman announced the extension Tuesday on his final day before retiring, saying he is excited that Clawson will be at the school “for a long, long time.” Terms of the deal were not publicly disclosed, as is customary at the private school. Clawson is 28-35 in five seasons at Wake Forest and 22‑17 during his last three years with three consecutive bowl victories. No other coach in program history has won more games in his first five seasons.

ers to bring the roster size to four, so that his team would have someone to send to the plate if they happened to load the bases.

After winning his bar bet, Feigner hit the road, quickly becoming one of sports’ biggest — and highest-paid — stars in the post-World War II era.

“They started in San Diego with a station wagon and a gas card,” Dobbins said, recalling the birth of his team, which took place years before he was even born. “They drove to the Florida Keys, stopping in each city to tell them, ‘We’ll be back through here in a couple weeks to play an exhibition game.

Book a venue.’”

When they reached the Keys, they turned around and drove west to play the games.

By the time Dobbins joined the squad, in the late 20th century, the team had been established. They were honored by Sports Illustrated as one of the 10 best teams of the millennium. They still followed one long-standing tradition, however.

“Every year, we’d meet in San Diego and set out from there,” Dobbins recalled.

Like the Globetrotters, the Court wouldn’t just beat teams, they’d put on a show. Feigner, who hit 104 mph on the radar gun with a softball pitch, would strike batters out pitching from second base,

TWO OF THE BIGGEST surprises in this year’s NFL Draft involved players from North Carolina colleges, one because of how early he was taken and the other because of how far he fell before his name was finally called.

Duke quarterback Daniel Jones turned heads and brought about boos from fans gathered at MetLife Stadium when the New York Giants selected him with the sixth overall pick, sooner than most projected.

But at least he didn’t have to wait long to find out what uniform he’ll be wearing next season.

For NC State wide receiver Kelvin Harmon, an underclassman once considered a potential first-rounder, the wait lasted six excruciating rounds over three days before he was finally drafted by the Washington Redskins.

As disappointing as the experience might have been, it will become little more than a footnote once Harmon takes the field for the first time. Like Jones and the eight other newly minted NFL draftees from state schools, it’s now up to him to prove he has what it takes to play football professionally.

“Oh man, I was excited to get the call,” Harmon said in an interview with Redskins.com.

“You know I’ve been waiting but everything is in God’s hands, so this is the team I’m supposed to be on. I’m ready to go to work.”

Harmon was one of four former Wolfpack stars to be taken in the draft.

Center Garrett Bradbury was the first to come off the board, going to the Minnesota Vikings in the first round Thursday with the 18th overall pick. Linebacker Germaine Pratt was a third-round choice while quarterback Ryan Finley went in the fourth round, both to the Cincinnati Bengals, before Harmon’s selection.

The haul continued a trend that began a year ago with seven State players taken in the 2018 draft.

“In my (recruiting) class in 2014, we tried to start a foundation and start a culture,” Pratt said. “So 2014 was a huge class for us. I redshirted, so it took me an extra year there. So I’d say yeah, it was huge for us.”

Other drafted players included offensive guard Nate Davis of Charlotte to the Tennessee Titans in the third round, offensive guard Phil Haynes of Wake Forest to the Seattle Seahawks in the fourth round, linebacker Cole Holcomb of North Carolina to the Redskins in the fifth round, offensive tackle Oli Udoh of Elon to the Vikings in the sixth round and defensive end Darryl Johnson of NC A&T to the Buffalo Bills in the seventh round.

Among those North Carolina natives that went to school out of state, Wake Forest’s Dexter Lawrence of Clemson joined Jones as a first-round pick of the Giants while fellow Wake Forest product Bryce Love, a running back from Stanford, was taken in the fourth round by the Redskins.

By Shawn Krest North State Journal RALEIGH — For more than a decade, Charlie Dobbins was a member of softball royalty.

Not that it registers with any of the members of his teams at William Peace University, where he’s coached for 20 seasons.

“The girls haven’t heard of me,” Dobbins said. “But a lot of times their dads have … or, now, their grandfathers. So it can still help with recruiting.”

Dobbins was a member of the legendary exhibition softball team The King and His Court — which, for 65 years, were softball’s version of the Harlem Globetrotters. They traveled the country, taking on all comers and seldom, if ever, losing.

The King was Eddie Feigner, who formed the Court in response to a challenge.

“Like most great things, it came about as a bar bet,” Dobbins joked.

Feigner challenged a rival softballer, saying he was such a good pitcher, he could beat the rival’s team by himself.

He later added a catcher to his team, to catch his unhittable pitches. Then he added a pair of field-

UNC hires Banghart as women’s basketball coach Princeton coach replaces Hall of Famer Sylvia Hatchell, who resigned last month

By Aaron Beard The Associated Press CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina has hired Princeton’s Courtney Banghart to become the Tar Heels’ next women’s basketball coach, the school announced Tuesday.

Banghart replaces Sylvia Hatchell, a Hall of Fame coach who resigned April 18 after an outside program review reported she had made “racially insensitive” comments and pressured players to compete through medical issues. That review also cited a “breakdown of connectivity” between Hatchell and the players after 28 interviews of current players and program personnel.

The 40-year-old Banghart has guided the Tigers to eight of the past 10 NCAA Tournaments with seven Ivy League championships.

Now she must move the UNC program in a new direction after Hatchell’s 33-year tenure. The UNC Board of Trustees approved the terms of a five-year contract Tuesday morning.

“I’m so grateful to everyone who has made Carolina what it is: the women who have worn the Carolina blue, Coach Hatchell who hung a banner, the men’s program that brought us the Jump Man, the outstanding coaches who have been a model of consistent excellence, and the alumni who have loved this place with all their hearts,’’ Banghart said in a press release.

“I’m honored to be your coach, and you will get my very best.”

Banghart played at Dartmouth and worked as an assistant there before taking over at Princeton in 2007. She is 254-103 in 12 seasons, though more than a third of those losses came during her first two seasons. In the years since, she has won nearly 78% of her games dating to the 2009-10 season with three perfect runs through Ivy

League play and the past two Ivy League Tournament titles.

Her best season came in in 2014-15, when the Tigers went 31-1 and Banghart was named Naismith national women’s coach of the year. Princeton won all but two games by double figures that year before suffering their only loss to No. 1 seed Maryland in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Princeton went 22-10 last season and won the league tournament before losing to Kentucky in the NCAA first round.

The challenge awaiting Banghart in Chapel Hill starts with making a big step up from the Ivy League to running and recruiting for a power-conference program in a league headlined by nation-

al powers Notre Dame and Louisville. There’s also a need for a jolt of energy for a program that had limped through several bumpy seasons even prior to Hatchell’s exit.

Hatchell is the winningest women’s coach in Atlantic Coast Conference history with 1,023 victories, with 751 of those coming during 33 seasons at UNC to go with eight ACC Tournament titles, three Final Fours and the 1994 NCAA championship.

But there had been difficulties in recent years. She had missed the 2013-14 season while battling leukemia and undergoing chemotherapy. The program also spent several seasons under the shadow

ECU adds ‘transformational’ new press box, suites TowneBack Tower replaces East Carolina’s 40-year-old building

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal GREENVILLE — Jon Gilbert had the look of an expectant father last week as he showed off the newest member of his East Carolina “family.”

Only instead of revealing a bouncing baby boy or girl, the object of the athletic director’s pride was a brick-and-mortar structure rising five stories above Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium at a cost of around $60 million.

The new addition already has a name — TowneBank Tower.

And while it’s still a construction site with no paint on the drywall, wires dangling down from the ceilings, plumbing in the roughin stage and workers scurrying around on every level, enough has been done to get feel for what the finished product will look like.

It’s already a major aesthetic improvement from the press box/suite facility it is replacing, a 40-plus-year-old eyesore not-so-affectionately referred to as the Doublewide in the Sky. “The first thing is it passes the look test,” said Gilbert, wearing a hard hat and a constant smile as he led members of the media on a tour of the new building that has dramatically changed the look and image of the Pirates’ football home. “It should enhance our gameday atmosphere and enhance our recruiting as well.”

In addition to workspace for both the print and electronic media on its top floor, the new tower will also feature four levels of premium seating — including 22 Loge Boxes, 19 Standard Suites, five Founders Suites and 550 Scholarship Club level seats.

The initial plan was for only 18 Standard Suites, but that changed after Gilbert’s first visit to the site upon his hiring in January.

“The visiting AD box was way too nice in my opinion, so I instructed (senior associate athletics director for internal operations J.J. McLamb) and (Pirate Club executive director Phillip Wood) that we would be selling that as part of a Standard Suite,” he said. “So instead of having 18, we’ll have 19 now. We found snug accommodations for the visiting

East Carolina’s new TowneBank Tower at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium will house the press box and 46 suites.

AD to accommodate them much like we are on the road.”

According to Wood, virtually all the suites are sold out. Fans can still get in on the Scholarship Club level, which in addition to outdoor seating includes access to a spacious bar and indoor hospitality area Gilbert said will have “a sports bar-type atmosphere.”

Besides its primary game day function, the Scholarship Club is also designed to be used as a banquet hall that can be booked for weddings, bar mitzvahs and other social events during the offseason.

As opposed to the suites, which range in cost from $100,000 a year to $20,000 annually with a 10-year commitment, the club level is priced so that smaller donors to afford to enjoy it.

“Originally the amount of the gift required to sit in the Scholarship Club was $5,300,” Wood said. “We made the decision as a department to reduce that down

to $2,000. The seats are still $2,500 per seat. The activity that it’s created is what we’d hoped for.”

The TowneBank Tower is part of an extensive facilities upgrade that includes a total renovation of the Pirates’ weight room, a new roof on the Murphy Center, a second turf practice field and a resodding of Dowdy-Ficklen’s playing surface.

Although facilities don’t win games, regardless of how nice they are or how many bells and whistles they might have, they do help attract the kind of talented players it takes to attain those victories.

With the new facility’s debut set for Sept. 7 against Gardner-Webb, which also happens to be new coach Mike Houston’s home debut, ECU now has a much more competitive product to sell to its prospective recruits — especially in comparison

to its rivals in the American Athletic Conference.

Gilbert said that construction on the new facility should be completed by July with finishing work such as furniture and graphics being done in time for an official ribbon-cutting ceremony sometime in mid-August.

The AD is also planning an open house during ECU’s annual Meet the Pirates Day festivities so that all fans — including those that can’t afford to watch the games from the lap of luxury — can get a look at what TowneBank Tower looks like from the inside.

“I think it’s a transformational structure for our athletic department, for our football program and for our community,” Gilbert said “It is state-of-the-art. It is a first-class facility. And I really look at it as a community asset because we will have a lot more things in this building other than football events.”

of the school’s multiyear academic case dealing with irregular courses featuring significant athlete enrollments across numerous sports, a case that reached a no-penalty conclusion in October 2017.

Along the way, there had been significant roster turnover with numerous transfers and hits to recruiting that contributed to the Tar Heels missing three straight NCAA Tournaments before returning to the field this year for the first time since reaching the Sweet 16 in 2015.

With approval from UNC’s trustees, it will be up to Banghart to make the Tar Heels a perennial NCAA Tournament team and ACC contender again.

NFL from page B1 his hometown of Davidson as the third-round choice of the Carolina Panthers.

A number of other players — including underclassmen Jakobi Meyers of State, Anthony Ratliff-Williams of UNC and Clifton Duck of Appalachian State — signed with teams as free agents after going undrafted.

Of all those players that were drafted, none created more of a stir than Jones, who whose selection by the Giants has been derided as the biggest reach of the draft.

Though most experts had the Duke junior rated below Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins and Missouri’s Drew Lock, New York’s general manager Dave Gettleman said he fell “in full-bloom love” with Jones after watching him at the Senior Bowl in January and didn’t want to risk losing him by waiting until his team’s second selection in the first round at No. 17.

Despite the negative reaction to his pick, including a headline in the New York Post calling the Giants “Blue’s Clueless,” Jones said he’s comfortable with his new role as the heir apparent to future Hall of Famer Eli Manning.

“I think it’s a tremendous opportunity to learn for a young quarterback,” he said. “(Manning) is a guy that’s had a whole lot of success in the NFL and there is a reason for that. I’m looking to understand that and do my best to learn as much as I can from him while he’s in New York.

“I’m not going to try to be Eli or be anything but myself. I think staying confident in that and staying confident in who I am is what’s going to be key to that process.”

While Jones will have to wait at least a season, if not more, to become an NFL starter, fellow first-rounder Bradbury is being counted on to contribute right away for the Vikings.

He’ll battle incumbent center Pat Elflein for the starting job in preseason camp, with the winner of the competition staying at the position and the other player being moved to left guard.

Bradbury, who played guard as a sophomore with the Wolfpack, said it doesn’t matter to him as long as he has a place to play.

“My biggest attraction (to playing offensive line) is that you don’t come off the field,” Bradbury said.

“I don’t want to come off the field.

I love to play football. Wherever it is on the offensive line, I don’t care.”

Checkers captain Patrick Brown was recalled by the Hurricanes on April 16, one of several players Carolina has had to bring up from Charlotte due to injuries.

With injuries mounting, Hurricanes look to top affiliate in Charlotte Carolina has had to recall several players from the Checkers, who are the favorites in the AHL’s Calder Cup Playoffs

By Cory Lavalette North State Journal RALEIGH — If you haven’t watched the Carolina Hurricanes for a while, you might be wondering where some of the familiar names have gone.

Calvin de Haan. Micheal Ferland. Andrei Svechnikov. Jordan Martinook. Saku Maenalanen. Trevor van Riemsdyk. Petr Mrazek.

All have (or will) miss full games this postseason, and the Hurricanes are just nine games into a run that, while unexpected, is less than halfway to its end goal.

“It seems like they’re happening all at once, too,” Greg McKegg, who was recalled in January right as the team started to get hot, said of the flurry of injuries. “Each game, a couple guys here and there. It’s that time of the year, and I think we’re not the only team that goes through it.

Carolina already got back de Haan, who missed the first three games of the playoffs, but now has lost van Riemsdyk to a shoulder injury that will keep him out indefinitely.

Svechnikov looks set to come back in Wednesday’s Game 3 against the Islanders — the Hurricanes took Game 1 and 2 in Brooklyn — after being knocked out and concussed in a fight with Washington captain Alexander Ovechkin in Game 3 of that series.

After Tuesday’s practice, Ferland said he could be ready for Friday’s Game 4, while Martinook is going to be a game-time decision every night until he just can’t go anymore.

With all these injuries, the Carolina braintrust has had to pilfer the Hurricanes’ top affiliate for players to keep going.

“You never want to see anyone go down, but that’s what the Checkers are for, really,” Patrick

Brown, captain for the team’s American Hockey League affiliate in Charlotte, said. “It’s a developmental league and those guys have been working hard all year, and it’s awesome seeing them getting a chance here.”

That’s meant frequent, albeit brief, calls between Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour and Checkers coach Mike Vellucci.

“He’s coaching those guys down there and he knows who fits what we need and I don’t have to talk very long about it,” Brind’Amour said. “He’s been dead-on right every time. He probably doesn’t like hearing me call or have to ask because I’m taking one of his guys, but he gets it.

Vellucci and the Checkers are in a playoff push of its own. Charlotte had the AHL’s best record this season and has advanced to Round 2 of the Calder Cup Playoffs, which will begin in the Queen City on Friday against the Hershey Bears.

“You lose a guy up here, we’re losing a guy down there,” said Alex Nedeljkovic, the AHL goaltender of the year who was recalled Monday after Mrazek was hurt in the Hurricanes Game 2 win on Sunday. “So the next guy that’s come in has filled in very well.”

One of those is Jacob Pritchard, an undrafted forward who just finished his collegiate career at the University of Massachusetts and signed with the Hurricanes on April 17.

“I think it was in Game 4, he scored a big goal for us, first one of his career,” Nedeljkovic said.

“He wasn’t playing in Game 3.

Like you said, next man up, the next-man-up mentality — it’s big.”

Brown, who was recalled to Carolina on April 16 after Svechnikov’s injury in the Hurricanes’ Game 3 of the Capitals series, was already gone.

“Actually, I haven’t even met him yet,” Brown said. “I hear he’s playing great, so that’s great to hear.”

Such is hockey life between North Carolina’s two biggest cities right now.

“Everyone wants to be up here,” said Clark Bishop, who

He’d strike guys out with pitches between his legs.

During one memorable charity game in 1967, Feigner faced a lineup that included MLB stars Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Brooks Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Maury Wills and Harmon Killebrew. He struck all six out in succession.

Dobbins’ time with the court took him all over the world.

“We played as far north as Alaska, beneath the northern lights,” Dobbins said, “and all the way down to the Keys. We played on the deck of an aircraft carrier in San Diego, years before college basketball teams started doing it.

I remember we once played in the Demilitarized Zone on the border between North and South Korea.

We could see the North Korean guards, on the wall, watching our game through binoculars.”

They also went to Australia, in 2000, the year Sydney hosted the Summer Olympics. Feigner was asked to throw out the first pitch at a softball game Down Under.

“That was the last pitch he

Charlie Dobbins threw,” Dobbins said. “He suffered a stroke the next day.”

Feigner continued to travel with the Court for the next seven years, but he served as an onfield MC, telling stories while his younger teammates put on the show.

The team continued for another four years following Feigner’s death in 2007, before going on a final 100-game farewell tour.

“We ended in Walla Walla, Wash., where Eddie was born,” Dobbins recalled. As catcher, he had the honor of catching the final pitch in King and his Court history. “After that, we turned out the lights,” he said.

The numbers were staggering

“I think it shows the depth that we have throughout the entire organization.

Anybody can come up and compete at whatever level.”

Alex Nedeljkovic, Hurricanes goaltender

was first recalled before Game 6 of the Washington series. “At the same time, I think we want Charlotte to do well just because we’ve had such a good year down there.

It’s just like up here — the guys have had such a good year and everyone’s battling for each other and want to win.”

Bishop, who played 20 games with the Hurricanes this season, didn’t get to play in that Game 6 when Martinook was deemed good to go, but he did get to experience the PNC Arena crowd from the press box. He said he could feel the arena shaking during the game.

“I think the fans know it helps the players, but I don’t think they realize how much of a spark it gives us when it’s that loud,” he said.

He played in Games 1 and 2 in Brooklyn and could again play Wednesday at home.

“I was up here for a few games during the year and it’s not as intimidating coming up for this, but at the same time it’s a pretty surreal moment coming up and playing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time,” he said.

“Once you get that first shift under your belt, it’s almost like your first game. You’re good to go then.”

Nedeljkovic, who would only play if things go wrong in Game 3, said you don’t have a choice but to be ready.

“I think Mac said it best in Game 2 there,” Nedeljkovic said of goaltender Curtis McElhinney, who came on in relief in Game 2 and earned the 2-1 win.

“You just grab your mask and go.”

in their dominance. In 65 years, the court registered 9,743 victories — 150 a year. They struck out 141,517 batters, threw 930 no-hitters and 238 perfect games.

Dobbins isn’t the only member of the Court who went on to coach.

Longtime Baylor softball coach Glenn Moore is a former member, as is longtime actor Jack Knight, who appeared on “Cheers,” “Moneyball” and “Catch Me If You Can,” among other credits.

The remaining members are working on a book and hope to also produce a documentary detailing their experience on softball’s greatest team.

“You’d be surprised how many people come up to me and tell me how they remember seeing us play when they were a kid,” Dobbins said.

A few minutes later, a 40-something man approached Dobbins.

“I’m sorry to interrupt,” he said, “but did you mention the King and His Court? I remember seeing you in Greece, N.Y., back in the ’80s.”

Dobbins nodded and grinned, probably secretly hoping this fan had a softball-playing daughter who was looking at colleges.

LAST MONTH, as NFL free agency wound down, the Carolina Panthers had a shorter, but still imposing, list of roster needs remaining.

“The team will need to focus on corners, safeties and linebackers,” we wrote. “Carolina may also look to add a receiver and/or tight end and perhaps another quarterback to develop.”

With one very prominent exception, the Panthers took care of most of the positions on their list in last week’s NFL Draft.

“We got two tackles and two pass rushers,” GM Marty Hurney said. “So I think protecting the passer and rushing the passer (were priorities). Obviously, we did not draft a safety or really a secondary player, but we feel like we addressed a lot of needs and feel good about the way things went.”

The Panthers added a pass-rushing end, a pass-rushing linebacker, a pair of offensive linemen, a receiver, running back and a quarterback to back up Cam Newton, who is still recovering from shoulder surgery.

Carolina passed on the chance to take a defensive back, but that may have been more an indictment of the choices available in the draft than a neglect of the position.

“It’s just some drafts, it’s just the way the draft is falling,” Hurney said. “If it fell right, and the safety was there, obviously we would’ve taken one, but it just didn’t work out that way. We don’t play tomorrow. You’re never going to have all your needs filled. So you’re just always looking, and we have some guys on our football team that we think can compete and do a good job at safety.”

Here’s a look at the players the Panthers chose in the draft.

First round, 16th pick, Brian Burns, DE, FSU In a draft loaded with defensive linemen, the Panthers chose the man that will get the chance to replace retiring future Hall of Famer Julius Peppers. Carolina values versatility on both lines, and Burns allows them to use a threeor four-man line and still pressure the passer.

“When you watch the tape, all the games he flashes,” coach Ron Rivera said. “He’s good for at least one-and-a-half — whether it’s oneand-a-half sacks, one-and-a-half caused fumbles. I mean, when a guy has a number like that, you know you’re going to get an impact at some point in the game.”

“We feel like we addressed a lot of needs and feel good about the way things went.”

Marty Hurney, Panthers GM

… to come in and have a long career for us. That trade up and getting Greg was huge I think for the weekend.”

Third round, 100th pick, Will Grier, QB, West Virginia The Little trade cost the Panthers their early third-round pick.

Near the end of the round, they took Grier, who spent time in Charlotte growing up and watched the draft from a relative’s house in the city. The West Virginia passer gives the Panthers a promising backup to Newton, who is coming off his second shoulder procedure in three years. Rivera compared Grier to Derek Anderson, who was Carolina’s backup for most of Newton’s career.

Fourth round, 115th pick, Christian Miller, LB/edge rusher, Alabama The linebacker gives the Panthers another versatile piece to the pass rush.

“That’s the neat thing about both Brian and Christian,” Rivera said. “They’re going to line up on the outside. I think with their skill sets, you’re talking about guys that can play either side and contribute as far as a four front as well. I think both of these young guys can come in and compete and give us some more depth.”

Fifth round, 154th pick, Jordan Scarlett, RB, Florida This pick was a bit of a curveball, as the Panthers appeared to go with the top name left on their board instead of looking at need.

Scarlett was productive at Florida, but he didn’t play a large role catching passes. He also had legal troubles at Florida, but the team is confident that he’s moved on from them.

Sixth round, 212th pick, Dennis Daley, OT, South Carolina More of a project than Little, Daley is raw and relatively inexperienced. But the Panthers are enamored with his size and potential.

“You’re not going to go through him,” Hurney said. “I mean he is stout, he is so stout. He is strong and he is a guy that we think has a ton of upside.”

Second round, 37th pick, Greg Little, OT, Ole Miss

Seventh round, 237th pick, Terry Godwin, WR, Georgia

The Panthers traded up to grab a piece for their offensive line — a spot they prioritized going into the draft.

“He’s been a guy that we’ve talked about a lot and had our eye on for some time,” Hurney said, calling the trade “the key of the weekend.”

“To move up and get a guy that everybody thought had a chance

The Panthers traded down to get Daley in the sixth round, adding this pick in the process.

“He’s a guy that makes plays and makes things happen,” Rivera said.

“He does have some return skills as well that we’re going to take a look at. He’s a dynamic guy with the ball in his hands and can make people miss, and he’s got some speed.”

Top global real estate agent grows with Triangle Jim Allen, Coldwell Banker’s No. 1 agent, reflects on career

By David Larson North State Journal

RALEIGH ­— Twenty-four innovative small companies across North Carolina will get grants to develop new products, hire more employees, and purchase needed materials, Governor Roy Cooper announced last week. A total of $1.1 million from the One North Carolina Small Business Program will go to the selected technology-oriented businesses in 14 communities across the state.

“These innovative companies have the ideas to succeed but need help with seed money to create new technologies and bring them to market,” said Governor Cooper. “These grants can help spur new products and industries, increase the number of high-paying jobs across the state, and improve our quality of life.”

The One NC Small Business Program, one of the first of its kind in the nation, provides state grants to match federal funds awarded through the highly competitive Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, which help small companies develop new and innovative technologies that have high potential for commercialization.

This year’s cohort of grantees is the most geographically diverse in the program’s history, increasing the number of grants going to companies in the state’s 80 most economically distressed counties. The recipients include numerous bio-tech and pharmaceutical laboratories focusing on everything from tooth pain to cancer detection. In addition, awardees represented the cybersecurity, energy and natural gas sectors, along with sustainable farming and food operations.

RALEIGH —Jim Allen got a degree in materials engineering from N.C. State University. His specialty was in metallurgy, but he couldn’t find work in that area out of college and instead found himself in a job as a civil engineer.

“I thought I was going to be an engineer,” Allen told North State Journal. “I actually got my real estate license in college just to learn how to buy property for myself.”

After a year as an engineer, he realized it wasn’t his calling and thought that since he already had his real estate license, “why don’t I try that?”

Allen says he grew up working hard on his family’s tobacco farm in Caswell County, just south of the Virginia/N.C. border. He applied that same work ethic immediately to his new career in real estate.

“I attacked it where I had to be everywhere and be everything to everybody when I began,” he said.

Under the tutelage of now-retired agent Tom Powell, Allen was able to quickly learn the business, applying Powell’s style and sales models that remain part of Allen’s business strategy today. Powell’s team relied on a mix of close relationships with builders, who would use them for new home sales, as well as resales of existing homes.

Allen worked with Powell from 1983 until 1993, when he decided that in order to service his clients better, he’d need his own team.

And it’s grown since then into one of the top real estate offices in the world.

During downturns, which agents will often blame for bad years, Allen says he was able to grow his business the most. He cited three major downturns in his career: one during the 80s, one in the 90s, and the 2007 mortgage crisis that most immediately think

about.

“Most people, when the market goes in the wrong direction, they pack up all their money and quit and wait on the sidelines until things get okay again,” Allen said. “I’ve never been afforded that luxury. So, I just worked right through it each time, and my business grew.”

Allen says his engineering background helped see times like those through a problem-solving lens and to find the opportunities others miss. It also helped him put everything his team did into a clear, defined process that had the best results.

As the team grew, Allen focused on building a tightknit group who “were not clones” but were a highly-diverse set of people that could service the wide variety of people coming to the Triangle. Some would specialize in more affordable existing homes; others large, new homes. This focus on diversity has made his team able to succeed across the board.

“Most agencies focus on one or the other, with new homes or resales, but we’ve been able to become the top agency in both areas,” Allen said. “They actually complement each other as well. My resale business, for example, helps me to find buyers for my new homes, and the land sometimes. It gives us a more rounded view of things.”

Allen predicts that the Triangle will continue to grow for a long time, but it will begin to fill in more than just expand out. The amount of available land has decreased markedly even as more people move to the area, so these new residents will be buying smaller plots of land or living in taller buildings, like condominiums or townhouses.

“What we’ll see more in the future will be more of an ‘urban infill’, like what you’re seeing in North Hills right now,” Allen said.

“You’re going to start seeing more and more of that because there just isn’t any more available land.

We’re down to about 10,000 acres of land to develop in the whole Triangle, and that’s not a whole lot.

It was hundreds of thousands just years ago.”

The Jim Allen Group currently leads projects in the Triangle counties, Johnston County, Franklin County, Person County and Alamance County, For the last three years in a row, he has been Coldwell Banker’s No. 1 agent in the world in overall production. He has also been their No. 1 in units sold since 2009. Before that, he was Berkshire Hathaway’s No. 1 agent in the world, coming there from Prudential, where he was their No. 1 agent in the world.

“We’re a no-excuse company,” Allen said. “And we can blame it that the average price in Los Angeles is $15 million or Miami it’s $10 million. You can’t worry about that when your average sale price is $400,000. Instead, you just have to sell more houses. Unfortunately for me, I might have to sell 100 houses to make up for the one mansion they sell, but that’s what we do.”

And this strategy of focusing on volume has worked. This year, Allen projects having 1,500 homes sold for just under $500 million, up from 1,200 homes sold for $460 million the previous year. He said that in the early 2000s, they were at around $100 million a year in sales, so they’ve been able to grow five-times-over since then.

For Allen, an active member of Asbury Methodist Church in Durham, faith is an essential part of his work in both his business and his community, including his strong ties to numerous non-profits from the Boys and Girls Club, to Habitat for Humanity, to the Helene Foundation, which offers daily assistance to women with cancer who have small children.

“The more prosperous you become, the greater responsibility for the community you have. Because if you become successful living and thriving in a community and don’t give back from what you received, you’re really stealing from them,” said Allen.

“I’m a strong Christian and I have values that push me in the direction of helping the community wherever I can,” Allen said. “We do a lot with the Boys and Girls Club in Wake Forest. Went there once, fell in love with the kids, bought them a bus and a scoreboard. Now part of every sale we give back to it.”

C2 GE shares jump 5% on earnings surprise Boston Shares of General Electric were up 5% in morning trading Tuesday after the company reported betterthan-expected earnings and revenue for its second straight solid quarter. GE, which has been streamlining its business for years, reported first quarter net income of $3.59 billion after posting a loss in the same quarter last year. Even the company’s long struggling power segment outperformed expectations, though it said that the improvement was mostly driven by timing. On a per-share basis, the Boston company posted net income of 41 cents. The industrial conglomerate posted revenue of $27.29 billion in the period, also surpassing Wall Street forecasts of $26.92 billion.

The company had $27.8 billion in revenue in last year’s first quarter. GE shares are up about 40% since the beginning of 2019, but are still down 25% from 12 months ago.

US consumer confidence improves in April Washington, D.C. American consumers were feeling more confident last month, though optimism hasn’t fully recovered from a period of roiling markets and slowed hiring early this year. The Conference Board, a business research group, said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose to 129.2 in April, from 124.2 in March.

The index, covering the month through April 18, measures consumers’ assessment of current economic conditions and their expectations for the next six months. Both rose in April. Economists pay close attention to the index because consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. The index slipped in March amid roiling financial markets and a February employment that showed hiring had tumbled.

U.S. employers added only 20,000 jobs, the smallest monthly gain in nearly a year and a half.

McDonald’s turns to bacon and wins (surprise, surprise) Chicago McDonald’s turned to a sure thing in the first quarter, bacon, and it paid off. The world’s biggest burger chain on Tuesday reported a first quarter profit of $1.33 billion, or $1.72 per share. That was the same profit it reported in the January-March period a year ago. At the beginning of the year, McDonald’s Corp. offered bacon on anything customers wanted for an hour.

That — along with new menu items like doughnut sticks — generated both hype and store traffic. U.S. same-store sales — or sales at locations open at least a year, a key metric of a retailer’s health — were up 4.5%, beating expectations.

The company said it’s also seeing gains as U.S. stores come back into service after renovations. McDonald’s is modernizing its restaurants with digital ordering kiosks, table service and curbside pickup for mobile orders. This year, 2,000 U.S. restaurants will be renovated. During the quarter, the Chicago company bought Dynamic Yield, an Israeli artificial intelligence startup. It plans to use the company’s technology to personalize customer ordering; for example, it will be able to vary Drive Thru menu suggestions based on the weather or the time of day.

The technology will also be used in McDonald’s app and at in-store kiosks.

Is an ‘insect apocalypse’ happening? How would we know?

By Brian Lovett The Associated Press INSECTS SCUTTLE, CHEW and fly through the world around us. Humans rely on them to pollinate plants, prey on insects that we don’t get along with, and to be movers and shakers for Earth’s ecosystems. It’s hard to imagine a world without insects.

That’s why news reports in recent months warning of an “insect apocalypse” sparked widespread alarm. These articles, which were based on long-term insect collections and a review of past studies, suggested that people alive today will witness the indiscriminate extinction of insect-kind.

I study fungi that can be used to control harmful insects, such as pests that damage crops and mosquitoes that transmit malaria. In my world, reports of mass insect die-offs are big news. But while there clearly is reason to be concerned about certain insects, such as the endangered rusty patched bumble bee or the American burying beetle, in my view it isn’t yet possible to predict a looming insect apocalypse.

More than 1 million insects have been discovered and named, but many millions have yet to be described. It’s undeniable that Earth is becoming increasingly inhospitable to some insects – but nightmarish conditions for one may be heaven to another.

Put another way, there is no perfect environment for all insects. And human impacts on the environment, like climate change and land development, very well may hurt beneficial insects and help harmful ones.

Insect declines Around the world, entomologists are looking wistfully into empty nets, and car owners are increasingly unsettled by their pristine windshields. It does not take decades of data collection and a degree to notice that in a human lifetime, our teeming world teems less.

The first study to set off alarms was published in 2017 by entomologists in Germany, who reported that over 27 years the biomass of flying insects in their traps had declined by 75%.

Another study from the Luquillo Long Term Ecological Research program site in the Puerto Rican rainforest reproduced an insect survey from the 1970s. It found that the biomass of arthropods – a large group of organisms that includes insects – had declined 10- to 60-fold in that time, and that lizards, frogs and birds that ate arthropods had also declined.

Underscoring this theme, in April 2019 two scholars published a review that synthesized over 70 reports of insect decline from around the world, and predicted mass insect extinctions within a human lifetime. They took a alarmist tone, and have been widely criticized for exaggerating their conclusions and selecting studies to review with the word “decline.”

Nonetheless, these researchers had no trouble finding studies to include in their review. Many scientists are currently analyzing the roles that climate change, land use, chemical pesticides and other factors have played in reported declines in many insect species.

The end is not near These discussions are important, but they don’t mean an insect apocalypse is under way. Predicting insect decline is hard to do without a lot of effort and data.

To predict an apocalypse, entomologists worldwide will need to conduct careful large-scale studies that involve collecting, identifying and counting many different insects. There are very few insects for which scientists have enough data now to reliably predict how many individuals there will be from year to year, let alone confidently chart a decline in each species. Most of the insects for which this information exists are species that are important for agricultural or human health, such as managed honey bees or mosquitoes.

And human actions are shifting balances between insect species. As an example, the mosquitoes that are best at spreading pathogens that cause disease have evolved to thrive near us. Entomologists call them anthropophilic, which means they love people.

That love extends to human impacts on the land. Insects that flutter from flower to flower won’t be happy when developers bulldoze a meadow and scatter tires around, but human-biting mosquitoes will be buzzing with excitement.

What else is out there?

Entomologists are uniformly concerned about the fate of insects in today’s changing world. But I believe the responsible approach is to push back on fire-and-brimstone rhetoric until detailed, large-scale studies are completed. Until then, these same gaps in our knowledge also make it hard to rule out that significant declines in diverse in-

sects are happening. These gaps must be filled to illuminate challenges that insects face, from the inconvenient to the apocalyptic.

When the majority of insects remain to be described, it’s hard to value them. But here’s one example: Insecticide use in pear groves in China’s Sichuan Province has caused such a decline in native pollinators that beekeepers will not lend their bees to these orchards.

These farmers are forced to pollinate their trees by hand – an expensive and time-consuming process if you aren’t an insect.

Similarly, native natural enemies played invisible roles in slowing the spread of the invasive brown marmorated stink bug when it was introduced into Pennsylvania in the 1990s. They included wasps that lay their eggs inside of stink bug eggs, and predatory insects and spiders that eat stink bugs eggs for breakfast.

Pollination and predation are just the start. Some insects could be sources of new drugs or traditional dyes, while others inspire artists or just provide little moments of inimitable beauty.

With so many unanswered questions, it’s clear that there is a need for more funding for biodiversity research. It is no coincidence that recent studies reporting massive insect declines came from a Long-Term Ecological Research center that is publicly funded through the National Science Foundation and from a carefully curated collection made and maintained by entomologists.

This kind of work requires money, bold foresight and dedication to science over long periods of time.

But it can produce insights into how our world is changing – and that knowledge will help us prepare for the future.

Mnuchin hopes for ‘substantial progress’ in China talks

By Sam McNeil The Associated Press BEIJING — U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Tuesday he hopes for “substantial progress” in talks with Chinese officials aimed at ending a tariff war over Beijing’s technology ambitions.

Mnuchin and Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer were to have a working dinner and then meet Wednesday with Chinese negotiators to discuss the standoff between the two biggest global economies, which has rattled financial markets.

“We hope to make substantial progress,” Mnuchin told reporters.

The secretary said he wouldn’t talk about specific issues but said, “we’ve made a lot of progress.”

A Chinese team is scheduled to visit Washington next week for another round of negotiations.

Mnuchin expressed hope Monday the two sets of talks will progress enough for U.S. officials to recommend to President Donald Trump whether to make a deal with Beijing.

Washington is pressing China to scale back plans for government-led creation of globally competitive companies with advanced technol-

ogies in robotics and other fields.

Beijing’s trading partners say such support violates its market-opening commitments.

Beijing has retaliated by raising import duties on $110 billion in U.S. goods.

Financial markets have been steadied by statements from both governments that they are making progress, but no formal agreements have been announced.

The negotiators are still discussing how to ensure that Beijing would adhere to whatever commitments it makes, and whether the Trump administration would keep tariffs on Chinese imports to maintain leverage over Beijing.

Mnuchin told Fox Business Network that an enforcement mechanism just “needs a little bit of fine tuning.”

U.S. officials and businesses assert that China has failed to keep past promises concerning its trade practices.

Trump also wants to narrow America’s huge trade deficit with China — $379 billion last year — by pressing Beijing to agree to accept more U.S. exports.

Critics worry any agreement might hurt other countries by shifting Chinese demand away from them. They also worry it might marginalize the World Trade Organization, which is meant to enforce global free trade rules for everybody.

Summer Movie Preview: ‘The Lion King’ roars again

By Lindsey Bahr The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Director Jon Favreau has just left a scoring session for “The Lion King “ with Hans Zimmer and an orchestra. It was for the stampede (yes, THAT stampede). And it will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the 1994 animated classic that, with Favreau’s footage playing in the background, it got a little emotional in that room.

“Working on it doesn’t make it any less emotional,” Favreau said.

And don’t even get him started on what it was like to listen to James Earl Jones record his lines as Mufasa.

Favreau and an army of people behind the scenes are putting the finishing touches on what might be this summer’s most anticipated release, one that’s been three years in the making with some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Beyoncé, and the expectations couldn’t be higher. None of the other major studios are even daring to go up against “The Lion King” when it opens July 19.

The animated film, which opened in June 1994 at the peak of the Disney animation renaissance, went on to become a critical hit, the highest grossing film of the year at the worldwide box office (it was second

New York Barack and Michelle Obama on Tuesday unveiled a slate of projects they are preparing for Netflix, a year after the former president and first lady signed a deal with the streaming platform.

The Obamas’ production company, Higher Ground Productions, announced a total of seven films and series that Barack Obama said will entertain but also “educate, connect and inspire us all.” Higher Ground is producing a feature film on Frederick Douglass, adapted from David W. Blight’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography. Also in the works is a documentary series that adapts Michael Lewis’ “Fifth Risk: Undoing Democracy,” the “Moneyball” author’s 2018 best-seller about government servants working under the political appointees of Donald Trump’s administration. The projects are to be released over the next several years.

domestically to “Forrest Gump”), a two-time Oscar winner for Zimmer’s score and the song “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” and a Broadway show — now the third-longest running and one of the most successful in history. So it was only a matter of time before the Walt Disney Co., in this new era of live-action remakes of its animated library which this year included both “Dumbo” and “Aladdin,” turned to one of its most beloved.

Favreau wasn’t finished with his version of “The Jungle Book” when he started inquiring about plans for “The Lion King.” He’d learned so much about motion capture technology and had a team he knew how to collaborate with. He was ready to take it to the next level. So, he raised his hand for the big job.

“I kind of lobbied for it,” Favreau said.

The studio waited until “The Jungle Book” was out to give him the official word, but the 2016 movie which scored with both critics and audiences, turned out to be a pretty good audition. And he set to work prepping this “live-action” ‘’Lion King,” which, it should be said isn’t live-action at all. It’s a combination of virtual reality and “keyframe animation,” which means that the animals are all animated by hand, “just like all the old animated movies,” Favreau explained. In other words, if you vis-

ited the set, you would not find some gargantuan soundstage and a bunch of actors running around acting like lions while covered in motion capture bodysuits and dots.

Rather, it was more of a “black box with people wearing headsets and VR goggles.”

The VR was used to “drive the camera” and “instead of just one layout artist on a computer, we had a full crew operating virtual cameras in a virtual reality environment,” he said.

That includes esteemed cinematographer Caleb Deschanel, a sixtime Oscar nominee.

The resulting special effect is that “It should feel like a live-action movie,” he said, even if it’s technically animated.

For the cast, which includes Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé as Nala, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon, the process was pretty similar to what they would have done for a traditionally animated movie, but Favreau also filmed the actors during their voice recording sessions to help the animators.

He knew it would look to weird to try to translate human expressions onto the cats’ faces so instead emotion is conveyed through body language (and a little mouth moving for the dialogue).

Anyone who’s seen the marketing thus far has no doubt recognized some familiar touchstones from the 1994 film. So familiar, in fact, that many started to wonder if this was going to be a shot-for-shot remake.

Favreau said that isn’t the case.

“It diverges quite a bit,” he said.

“It’s much longer than the original film. And part of what we’re doing here is to (give it more dimension) not just visually but both story wise and emotionally.”

The main story points are the

same, but like the stage musical, there will be differences too. Plus, he wanted to capitalize on the uniqueness of his actors.

With Beyoncé, for instance, he even changed the way he directed her and approached her animation after seeing her stage show and all the personas she channels for each song.

“Nala is a very powerful character who’s a warrior and also has a big heart and encapsulates a lot of different archetypes,” he said. “I wanted the way she was choreographed and with lions and the fight scenes to have a resonance with the power with which (Beyoncé) choreographs her stage show.”

And of course there’s the music, which is just as important as the images in conjuring up all the emotion and nostalgia associated with the original.

Zimmer has updated and built upon his own score from 25 years ago, which will also integrate music from the stage show and the 2D film.

“It’s quite a lush version of the soundtrack and the score,” Favreau said.

There will be some recognizable songs, including “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” ‘’Hakuna Matata,” ‘’Be Prepared,” ‘’I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” and “Circle of Life,” plus some new ones too.

And the hope is that this version resonates not only with the generations that grew up with “The Lion King,” but with a new batch of kids as well who may be experiencing it for the first time this way.

Streaming service Spotify hits 100 million paid user mark Copenhagen, Denmark Music streaming service Spotify said Monday that its paying subscribers have reached 100 million for the first time, up 32% on the year and almost twice the latest figures for Apple Music.

The Stockholm-based company called the figure, which was reached during the first three months of 2019, “an important milestone.” The growth was driven, among other things, by “a better-thanplanned promotion in the U.S. and Canada.” Spotify said it had reached “the high end of our guidance range of 97-100 million.”

By comparison, archrival Apple Music had about 50 million paying subscribers at the end of 2018, the latest available figures.

Apple is expected to release new figures with its earnings report on Tuesday.
