AG Stein requests dismissal of SCOTUS petition on 2013 voting law Washington, D.C. N.C. Attorney General Josh Stein requested a dismissal on Tuesday of N.C. lawmakers’ Voter ID appeal pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. Calling it a “desperate politically motivated stunt,” Republicans say Stein is following former Attorney General Roy Cooper in refusing to defend the Voter ID law supported by 70 percent of N.C. voters. Stein argued that the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals already struck down the law, and that attorneys for both sides have agreed to waive $12 million in legal fees.
Passengers walk through JFK checkpoint without being screened New York Eleven passengers walked through a security checkpoint without being screened before apparently boarding planes at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on Monday. The breaches occurred at about 6 a.m. at a checkpoint lane that was not fully staffed. TSA said the passengers’ carry-on bags were screened and cleared by a security team with sniffer dogs. Three of the passengers set off metal detectors but were permitted to continue to their boarding gates without being body searched by staff. The Port Authority said three passengers were screened after they got off their flight when it landed in California. It did not give information about the identities or flight schedules of the other eight passengers.

Outspoken general named Trump’s top security adviser Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, who holds two degrees from UNC Chapel Hill, is a highly regarded military tactician By Donna King North State Journal WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump on Monday named Lt. Gen. Herbert Raymond McMaster as his new national security adviser, choosing a military officer known for speaking his mind and challenging his superiors. How he would handle a Trump White House is being debated, but those who’ve worked closely to the president say he often favors advisers who have an opposing viewpoint to his own. “He is highly respected by everybody in the military and we’re very honored to have him,” Trump told reporters in West Palm Beach where he spent the weekend. “He’s a man of tremendous talent and tremendous experience.” One subject on which Trump and McMaster could soon differ is Russia. McMaster shares the consensus view among the U.S. national

Republican-sponsored H.B. 39 would reduce the membership of the UNC Board of Governors and could face veto amid Democrat opposition By Jeff Moore North State Journal RALEIGH — Having technically convened the 2017 legislative session weeks ago, revving engines gave way to traction as the North Carolina General Assembly passed its first bill of the year Monday evening with the N.C. Senate voting to send University of North Carolina system Board of Governors reform legislation to Gov. Roy Cooper. House Bill 39 would reduce the membership of the board from 32 to 24 members by 2019. Republicans are seeking to reduce the number of board seats with the support of UNC System President Margaret Spellings in an effort they say reflects modern corporate governance and efficiency needs. “It reduces the board down to a manageable number and it’s being done all across this country,” said Sen. Bill Rabon (R-Southport). “Any nonprofit, any business you can think of, most of the success stories talk about how lowering the size of their board created success, and that’s exactly what we’re trying to do here.” Several Democratic senators opposed to the bill feared it reduced diversity, offering an amendment that would give the General Assembly authority to fill select seats on the new board structure to satisfy specifically designated cate-

NC shrimp industry could face changes following petition North Carolina Wildlife Federation requests would limit times, rules for trawling By Cory Lavalette North State Journal
Butner, N.C. Omar Abdel-Rahman, the Muslim cleric known as “the blind sheik” who was convicted of conspiracy in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and of planning a broader “war of urban terrorism” in the U.S., died last weekend of natural causes at a federal prison in Butner, N.C., according to a spokesman. He was 78.

General Assembly sends first 2017 bill to governor
RALEIGH — A 5-3 vote last week by the North Carolina Marines Fisheries Commission in favor of a petition by an environmental group could change the way local shrimp are harvested in state waters. The North Carolina Wildlife Federation’s petition calls for changes to shrimp trawling that the group calls “a path forward for positive resource conservation,” the group’s CEO, Tim Gestwicki, said in an emailed statement. The petition requests: limiting shrimp trawling to three days
a week in the estuaries and four days a week in the ocean; limiting trawling to the daytime only; reducing the maximum trawl head rope length to 90 feet in estuarine waters and 110 feet in ocean; limiting tow times to 45 minutes; opening shrimp season once the shrimp count in Pamlico Sound reaches 60 shrimp per pound, heads on; implementing an 8-inch size limit for spot and a 10-inch size limit for Atlantic croaker; requiring all fishermen to use two N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries-certified by catch reduction devices when trawling in state waters. NC Catch, a nonprofit organization dedicated to education and promotion of the state’s seafood economy, said the new rules could cripple not just shrimpers, but also the state’s entire seafood industry.

TRUMP from page A1 security establishment that Russia is a threat and an antagonist to the United States, while the man whom McMaster is replacing, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, appeared to view it more as a potential geopolitical partner. The national security adviser is an independent aide to the president and does not require confirmation by the U.S. Senate. He has broad influence over foreign policy and attends National Security Council meetings along with the heads of the State Department, the Department of Defense and key security agencies. Not afraid to question the boss Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and a frequent Trump critic, praised McMaster as an “outstanding” choice. “I give President Trump great credit for this decision,” McCain said in a statement. A former U.S. ambassador to Russia under Obama, Michael McFaul, a Democrat, praised McMaster on Twitter as “terrific” and said McMaster “will not be afraid to question his boss.” McMaster, who flew back to the Washington area from Florida with Trump on Air Force One, will remain on active military duty, the White House said.
By Laura Ashley Lamm North State Journal REENVILLE — Ndaba Mandela, a native of South Africa, is G walking a path like his grandfather,
one that strives to teach peace and compassion, and serves as a call to action to every man and woman. “It is in our hands to make this world a better place,” said Mandela. “Where do you want to make a difference? I came from a small country in Africa, you may come from a small community. Decide where you want to make a difference, where your passion lies and then you can go and act on that. Do research, go to community to engage, otherwise without action you are just a dreamer. “ Mandela, grandson of South African politician and philanthropist Nelson Mandela, is co-founder and co-chairman of the Africa Rising Foundation, an organization dedicated to building future leaders. He works to reinforce the notion that one person can make a difference. He was the keynote speaker for the second annual NC Civility Summit hosted by East Carolina University. The day-long summit is geared toward expanding acceptance of all people. “We must be dedicated to humanity,” said Mandela. “We all have a dream of achieving greatness one day. What makes the best doctor? The best plumber? It is the
Trump also said Keith Kellogg, a retired U.S. Army general who has been serving as the acting national security adviser, would return to his post as chief of staff to the National Security Council. John Bolton, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, would be asked to serve the administration in another capacity, Trump said. Kellogg and Bolton were among those in contention as Trump spent the long Presidents Day weekend considering his options for replacing Flynn. His first choice, retired Vice Adm. Robert Harward, turned down the job last week. McMaster, 54, is a West Point graduate known as “H.R.,” with both a master’s degree and doctorate in U.S. history from UNC Chapel Hill. He was listed as one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in 2014, partly because of his willingness to buck the system. A combat veteran, he gained renown in the first Gulf War — and was awarded a Silver Star — after he commanded a small troop of the U.S. 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment that destroyed a much larger Iraqi Republican Guard force in 1991 in a place called 73 Easting, for its map coordinates, in what many consider the biggest tank battle since World War II. Trump relies on a tight, insular group of advisers, who at times appear to have competing political agendas. McMaster’s fame grew
passion one has. “I hope you will understand each of you has greatness within you like Nelson Mandela. You can be the next Mandela of the world.” Nelson Mandela grew up poverty stricken in South Africa. He went to school for the first time wearing his father’s pants that had been cropped to fit his size. Born with the name “Rolihlahla,” he went to school without an English name. “His teacher said, ‘What is your English name?’ He said, ‘I don’t have one.’ She replied, ‘You shall be called Nelson,’” said Ndaba Mandela. Nelson Mandela’s name would later become one recognized by the world over. He served as president of South Africa from 1994-1999 following his release from prison where he served 27 years for his involvement in working to overthrow the state’s white-only government-established apartheid. His fight against the government and later service to his country transformed him into an icon of democracy and social justice. He died in 2013 at age 95. “We are living in a globalized world,” said his grandson. “We are traveling and working with each other more than ever before. What happens in Russia affects what happens in America and Africa, et cetera. “We have a saying in Africa: ‘I am, because you are, because we are,’” he added. “Nothing exists in isolation anymore, it is up to us as global citizens to make sure we kill any prejudice that exists by simply reaching out and having a conver-
“His training and experience in military history as a student gave him a fairly deep appreciation for history and strategy and civil-military relations that has followed him through his whole career.” — Dr. Wayne E. Lee, distinquished professor of history at UNC Chapel Hill, who studied with McMaster at the school after his 1997 book “Dereliction of Duty” criticized the country’s military and political leadership for poor leadership during the Vietnam War. McMaster worked on the book as part of his dissertation at UNC Chapel Hill. “When he was here, H.R. was an extremely energetic, extremely smart, efficient, productive student,” said Dr. Wayne E. Lee, disnquished professor of history at UNC Chapel Hill, who studied with McMaster at the school. “And he finished his disseratation in a remarkably short time, and then he converted his dissertation into a

book in an even more remarkably short time. And then the book was a huge hit. “So his success in an academic sense sort of speaks for it self. He was just really, really sharp — is really, really sharp.” “Criticism and feedback” In a July 14, 2014, interview with the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer in Columbus, Ga., where Fort Benning is located, McMaster, then the base commander, said: “Some people have a misunderstanding about the Army. “Some people think, hey, you’re in the military and everything is super-hierarchical and you’re in an environment that is intolerable of criticism and people don’t want frank assessments. “I think the opposite is the case. ... And the commanders that I’ve worked for, they want frank assessments, they want criticism and feedback.” That attitude was not always shared by his superiors, and it led to his being passed over for promotion to brigadier general twice, in 2006 and 2007. On McMaster’s third and last try, Gen. David Petraeus – who at one point was also on Trump’s candidate list for national security adviser – returned from Iraq to head the promotion board that finally gave McMaster his first general’s star. Then a colonel, McMaster was
sation over lunch with somebody that is different than us. That will make for a better world.” With living in a globalized world comes peace and compassion for humanity, he said. “My grandfather was a man of great compassion. He had compassion for the people,” said Mandela. “No matter what you looked like or where you came from, he would treat you with love, respect and dignity, That is what compassion is. In our house, you had Michael Jackson, George Bush and Mike Tyson visiting us, but he treated those people the very same way he treated the lady that cooked for us and the gentleman that cleaned our garden. That is what compassion is. “And peace, it begins with inner peace — self peace. If you do not have inner peace, you can never achieve peace outside in your community and in your household,” he added.
commander of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment that in the spring of 2005 captured, held and began to stabilize Tal Afar on the Iraqi-Syrian border. The city was held by Sunni extremists, a crossing point between Syria and Iraq for jihadists who started as al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia under Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and morphed into Islamic State after he was killed. McMaster’s preparation of the regiment is legendary: He trained his soldiers in Iraqi culture, the differences among Sunnis, Shi’ites and Turkomen, and had them read books on the history of the region and counterinsurgency strategy. It was a sharp change from the “kill and capture” tactics the U.S. had used in Iraq since the invasion in March 2003, and to which the Obama administration returned in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. The strategy was largely a success, although McMaster’s use of it and especially his willingness to acknowledge that Iraqis had some legitimate grievances against one another and the occupying coalition forces, did not endear him to his superiors and helped delay his promotion to brigadier general. The strategy did not survive the departure of McMaster’s troops, with Tal Afar falling into the hands of Sunni militants. Along with the west part of Mosul, it is now a key objective in the battle to rid Iraq of Islamic State.

NC health ranking shows drop in hospitalizations, increase of obesity North Carolina ranks 32nd in the list of healthiest states in the nation By Donna King North State Journal RALEIGH — The 2016 America’s Health Rankings Annual Report released by United Health Foundation said N.C. is just below middle of the pack in healthy lifestyles and health outcomes. Hawaii ranked the healthiest while Mississippi ranked the least healthy of all the states. The annual report ranks each state across 34 measures of behaviors, community and environment, policy, clinical care, and outcomes. The report found that smoking has dropped by 41 percent nationally, and preventable hospitalizations have decreased 34 percent, while immunizations have risen. However, the obesity rate in the U.S. and N.C. is on the rise with nearly 30 percent of North Carolinians falling into the obesity range. “We are down a spot from 2015, so as we look for some challenges and how to improve, on the positive
FISHERIES from page A1 “This particular thing, if it ever came to fruition, affects everything,” NC Catch president Heidi Smith said. “It’s not just a shrimp thing. It actually affects other fisheries. If you lost shrimp, you lose your basic economic building block of the seafood industry.” Smith said the petition should not have been considered because it did not include information on the economic cost of the new rules — a study she said will now be passed on to the state at a cost to taxpayers during the 18- to 24-month process that could also involve changes to the N.C. Marine Fisheries’ management plans. “Obviously it’s not the vote any
side, some things we do well — the level of immunization for kids are high and our excessive drinking is low. But obesity is a real challenge for us,” said Garland “Scottie” Scott, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare for North and South Carolina and Georgia. North Carolina is not alone. The rate of obesity nationally has increased by 157 percent nationwide since 1990. Obesity increased across all education groups, but the average rate of change per year was two-and-a-half times higher among high school graduates than college graduates. For the first time in the report’s 27-year history, the rate of cardiovascular death has increased after decades of steadily dropping. The report also finds that in the past five years, the rate of drug deaths has increased by 9 percent, rising 4 percent just since 2015. According to the report, drug overdoses are now the leading cause of injury deaths in the U.S. with more than six out of 10 drug deaths involving an opioid, primarily prescription pain relievers, or heroin. Opioid-related overdose deaths increased 200 percent between 2000 and 2014. The total cost of illicit drug use on

The organization said declining fish populations due to N.C.’s current trawling rules are impacting both commercial and recreation fishing of those species, and that the new rules would still be favorable to shrimpers compared to other states. “If every word of the petition were to get implemented, N.C. would still be the most lenient state on Atlantic and Gulf states with regards to inshore trawling restrictions,” Gest-

wicki said in the email. Smith said the petition — a process she said is in place to let everyday people weigh in, not a nonprofit “represented by the largest law firm in the Southeast” — was identical to one filed by an individual citizen in 2013 and voted down unanimously by the commission comprised of largely the same members. NC Catch has always been more of a promotional tool for the state’s seafood industry, Smith said, but the petition led them to wade into political waters to help an industry she said is predominantly made up of family owned businesses. “We just think that public policy is best made when all the facts are on the table,” Smith said. “At least know what you’re voting for.”
the U.S. economy — including its impact on crime, health, and productivity — is an estimated $193 billion per year. UnitedHealthcare says that the Health Rankings Annual Report is meant to provide a benchmark for states to plan for the future. “We want this report to be a catalyst around data-driven discussions about improving health and driving positive change,” said Scott. “We can help local and state leaders and business leaders make better decisions on behalf of the population that they are serving and working with.” UnitedHealthcare also anticipates that with growth in technology they’ll see growth in consumers taking more control over their health. Their new program, called “Rally,” is a mobile app and website that rewards users with “coins” for setting and meeting their health goals. “It provides virtual visit access and mobile tracking for wellness goals,” said Scott. “More and more consumers engaging and managing their own health is a big part of the solution. We are working to enable them with the tools and technology for access to care and for measuring their performance from a wellness perspective.” According to the report, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Minnesota, and Vermont ranked as the second through fifth healthiest, while Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama and Oklahoma joined Mississippi at the bottom of the list.
Export companies tell Congress to push tax code rewrite Chief executive officers of 16 companies, including Boeing, Caterpillar and General Electric, have urged Congress to pass a comprehensive tax code rewrite, including a controversial border tax. In a letter to Republican and Democratic leadership on Tuesday, the CEOs said a Republican-proposed border adjustment tax would make U.S.-manufactured products more competitive abroad and at home by making imported goods face the same level of taxation. “If we miss this chance to fundamentally reshape the tax code, it might take another 30 years before we have another chance to try,” the group of CEOs wrote in the letter, according to a copy that Reuters obtained.

Fed approves First Bancorp purchase of Carolina Bank The Southern Pines-based parent company of First Bank announced Friday it received the final regulatory approval necessary for a $97 million acquisition of Greensborobased Carolina Bank. First Bancorp received the notification of approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond last week. The deal should be finalized on March 3 and is a cash and stock transaction of approximately $97.3 million, or $19.26 per share. Both banks’ board of directors have approved the deal.
Verizon, Yahoo agree to cut deal price by as much as $350 million Verizon agreed to a revised deal to buy Yahoo’s core internet business for $4.83 billion, as much as $350 million less than the original price, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The revised agreement could be formally announced this week. Verizon had been trying to persuade Yahoo since last year to amend the terms of the agreement to reflect the economic damage from two cyber attacks. The two companies will also split any future liabilities and costs that arise from the data breaches, the WSJ reported.

Gov. Roy Cooper, pictured in the old House Chamber of the North Carolina State Capitol building in Raleigh, called for a 5 percent teacher salary increase for each of the next two years, saying it will bring average salaries to $55,000 without raising taxes.
Cooper, lawmakers find common ground on teacher raises By Donna King North State Journal CHARLOTTE — Gov. Roy Cooper announced this week that his recommended budget will include a 5 percent teacher pay raise each year for the next two years, with the goal of ultimately bringing the average teacher pay to $55,000 by fall of 2018. Cooper said in a press released that the $813 million dollar taxpayer cost could be met without raising taxes. Cooper met with teachers and spoke to media Tuesday at Lynn Road Elementary School in Raleigh. The topic is expected to be one of the areas where the new Democrat Governor Cooper and the Republican-led General Assembly can find some common ground as Republicans work on another year to fulfill a promise started in 2014 to bring teacher salaries up. Republican lawmakers said they are pleased Cooper shares their goal to raise pay for educators. “These aren’t just investments in our teachers, they are lasting investments in our economy and in our own children’s future,” said Cooper. “Education is part of North Carolina’s legacy, but recently we’ve fallen behind. My proposal is a serious, multi-year increase in teacher salaries that will get us to the national average so we can show our teachers the respect they deserve.” The General Assembly started a three-year plan two years ago
“The record of Roy Cooper’s budget director includes having cut teacher pay in the past. Had those cuts not happened, teachers would be even better off than after the Republican raises.” — Rep. Bill Brawley (R-Mecklenburg), N.C. House Finance Committee chairman to raise the average N.C. school teacher pay to $50,000 after years of stagnant teacher salaries. Those raises were an average, designed to bring the starting teacher pay up to the national average, but critics objected to it not being distributed equally to all teachers. Starting teachers and those with 10 years of experience received the biggest bumps. Cooper did not say how the raises would be distributed in his plan, and his figures assumed a 2.68 percent annual increase in local county supplements. “After he opposed recent Republican budgets that increased average teacher pay by 15.5 percent, we are pleased Roy Cooper has finally joined legislative efforts to undo the damage of years of Democratic teacher furloughs and teacher pay freezes. We look
forward to reviewing his complete budget proposal,” said Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) in response to Cooper’s announcement. Several lawmakers view budget announcements from the governor’s office with skepticism. They’ve expressed concerned that Cooper’s pick for state budget director is Charles Perusse, who served in the same role for thenGov. Beverly Purdue. Republicans say Perusse contributed to the state’s economic problems they inherited when taking office in 2011. In 2009, under Purdue with Perusse, the state had a $1 billion budget shortfall, forcing Purdue to order a half-percent pay cut, pay freezes and teachers furloughs. Perusse is now back, directing the state budget under Cooper. Republicans raised teacher pay while cutting taxes and providing relief to hard-working North Carolinians, so we hope the details of Gov. Cooper’s proposal will mirror our successful approach.” House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Kings Mountain). Cooper said his proposal also includes a $150 per teacher stipend for supplies and would make teacher salaries the highest in the Southeast by 2020. The governor traditionally offers his budget recommendations i March for the legislature to consider. The General Assembly appropriations sub-committees are already gearing up, meeting on other proposals.
RALEIGH — Rep. Verla Insko (D-Orange) filed a bill this week that would require lawmakers to put their name next to any earmarks in the state budget. The measure, H.B. 83, is a simple 10-line bill called Ensure Budget Transparency. Insko said she started working on the measure after an item was added to last year’s budget directing the University of N.C. system to establish laboratory schools serving grades K through 8th in low-performing school districts. She said she wanted to talk directly to the lawmakers who proposed it but couldn’t because of confidentiality rules with bill drafters. She now wants to debate H.B. 83 on the floor. “I’d like to have a public debate on this because transparency is really an essential part of democratic society,” said Insko in an interview. “Legislators need to be able to stand for election based on their record and when the public can’t see their record they can’t hold them accountable. Provisions go in at the last minute, especially ones that are controversial, and you need to be able to have a public debate on their merits.”
Insko pointed out that the problem of privacy and anonymity in budget bill drafting is long-standing, having occurred under the Democratled legislature as well. The bill is getting applause from the fiscally conservative Americans for Prosperity. “Anonymous earmarking ends when the legislature passes Rep. Insko’s commonsense reform,” said AFP executive director Donald Bryson. “If legislators feel strongly enough about requesting taxpayer money for a special, localized project, they should be proud to sign their name to it. If legislators are hesitant to publicly claim the provision they have introduced, maybe it deserves a second thought.” The measure passed the N.C. House on the first reading last week and was referred to the Appropriations Committee. While it isn’t a specific budget item, it would affect the budget process, which is already beginning. Gov. Roy Cooper is pitching elements of his recommended budget to the media, with the full version likely to be delivered to the General Assembly in March.
House Committee approves partisan judicial elections RALEIGH — The House Elections Committee voted to approve legislation Tuesday to add party labels to judicial candidates for district and superior court elections. The proposal comes in an era of increasing litigiousness between government branches at the state and federal level, with both sides of the political aisle wary of any perceived judicial activism that sets back their respective policy platforms. “House Bill 100 ... will provide the voters with critical information that can assist them with selecting the candidate that they the voter feels is best for the job,” said bill sponsor Rep. Justin Burr (R-Stanly) at the meeting. Democrats on the committee felt the switch to partisan judicial elections will only increase the likelihood of judicial activism, while Republicans argued that the voters should have as much information about judicial candidates as they do for all other statewide races. Rep. Grier Martin (D-Wake) agreed that voters typically do not have enough information about judicial candidates when entering the voting both, but added, “I think where we disagree though is where the solution lies.”
Bill sponsor Rep. Jason Saine (R-Lincoln) said “it is information the voters are hungry for.” “What you see before you is pretty much what is happening in practice across the state anyway,” said Saine. “When we work the elections, when we’re out campaigning, at least in my community, we have both Republican and Democrat poll workers and candidates there with sample ballots.” Cautioning the Repulican bill sponsors, Minority Leader Darren Jackson (D-Wake) said the bill would ultimately hurt Republicans chances in districts like his where Republican judges hold seats in a Democratic county. “If this bill passes, none of those six will be there in four years,” said Jackson. “The ones that are up in 2018 will lose and the ones in 2020 will lose. Only because they have an ‘R’ beside their name in a county that Gov. [Roy] Cooper carried by 116,000 votes.” Despite the warning, the House committee approved the bill. Should the legislation reach Cooper’s desk, it could be a prime candidate for veto on an issue with a clear partisan divide.

Early echoes of Easley worry NC news media Cooper cabinet nominee Larry Hall challenged a reporter’s right to report on a meeting of the Military Affairs Commission.
Can lawyers make transparent chief executives? In the post-World War II era, Americans have elected three lawyers to the Oval Office: Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Only Clinton’s administration could be characterized as transparent, and then not by design but because of persistent leaks. North Carolina’s last lawyer-governor was Michael F. Easley, a politician from Nash County who had previously served as the state’s attorney general. To put it mildly, Easley’s administration was not one known for allowing the sun to shine in. Depositions of Easley officials revealed that the administration had a secret “blackout policy” for the conservative-leaning Carolina Journal newspaper, with word going out to state public information officers that calls from the paper’s reporters were not to be returned. Then there is the fact that Easley used a private email account (with an address of “Nick Danger” spelled backward) to avoid public records scrutiny. But the worst example is that the governor’s office ran a scheme whereby his lead communications staffers instructed agency PIOs — both political appointees and career staff — to delete emails to and from Easley’s office each day so that they would not appear in public records searches. Instructing career staff to break the law for you is never a good idea, and as the word leaked out, the media circled its wagons and sued Easley. Easley was defended in the email scandal by Roy Cooper, a politician from Nash County who was serving as the state’s attorney general. Cooper attempted to settle the suit for $20,000, then waited out the clock on the
Easley administration and tried to claim that the media had no standing to sue because Easley was no longer in office. Neither of those tactics worked. Waking up the echoes
Cooper is now governor, and it is too early to tell whether he will run a transparent administration or not. But the echoes of Easley are unmistakable. First, there is Cooper’s conduct as attorney general, where he claimed to have sent only 14 emails over 16 years. And state media were not happy with Cooper’s handling of public records requests during the scrutiny over the State Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab, with one reporter claiming Cooper was “dragging his feet” on releasing the records. In his first two months as chief executive, the signs are not encouraging. Rumors around Raleigh are that Cooper may have his own Easley-style media blacklist. And then there’s multiple reports that Larry Hall, lawyer-governor Cooper’s nominee to head the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, challenged Carolina Journal reporter Dan Way’s right to report on a meeting of the Military Affairs Commission. An eyewitness claims that Hall said the public meeting was not a “media event,” a term that has no meaning in the context of the state’s open meetings law. Way was at the early February meeting to report on a presentation by physicist John Droz on wind-energy facilities in the state. After Hall’s inappropriate comments, commission chairman Brig. Gen. Mabry “Bud” Martin — who had resisted pressure from the governor’s office to take the presentation off the meeting’s
agenda entirely — was unsure what to do. First he scrubbed Droz’s presentation from the agenda, after which Way left the meeting. But then Martin reversed himself and asked Droz to give the presentation. Jonathan Jones, director of the N.C. Open Government Coalition, called the move “a pretty clear violation” of the law. Martin is new to state government and can be forgiven for being flustered in the face of pressure from Cooper’s cabinet member. But Larry Hall has no excuse. Hall has been an elected representative for a decade, first appointed to the General Assembly by lawyer-governor Easley in 2006. Hall knows the ins and outs of state government. Indeed, he was in Democratic leadership for half of his tenure. He knows the state’s public records and open meetings laws, and he is — brace yourself — a lawyer. Cooper must set a marker now that his administration will not tolerate the kind of illegal shenanigans Hall encouraged. The governor is certainly aware of the Easley scandals, which show that he won’t get any help from his friends in the legacy media. On other matters, even scandals, Cooper can expect a level of ideological courtesy from the press corps. But not when it’s about access and public records. Information, after all, is the news media’s stock in trade. They will protect it fiercely. A firm statement from Cooper, followed by clear shifts away from the last lawyergovernor’s policies, might just begin to drown out the rising echoes of Easley.

Town halls vital to democracy Lawmakers should make themselves more available for those who oppose them.
The political divide and partisan activism may threaten future access to lawmakers. Many Republicans, including some in the North Carolina delegation, are scaling back the traditional town hall to avoid hostility and wrath from constituents. Activists hope that the rising anger by some, partly due to a potential loss of Obamacare and partly due to Donald Trump, will fuel a national backlash with electoral consequences. In a recent letter, Sen. Thom Tillis wrote: “It has become apparent that some individuals… attend town halls just to create disruptions and media spectacles. This is particularly unfortunate because it leads to a scenario in which only the loudest voices in the room can be heard and very little meaningful discussion can actually occur.” These new, more hostile encounters are not merely a phenomenon of the left. During the tea party movement and conservative backlash, constituents stormed town halls. Filming confrontations with a lawmaker for
the sole purpose of creating a viral video on YouTube was one of several popular tactics to encourage opposition to government policies. The rise of social media fuels national organized resistance, or what some critics call “astroturfing.” Certainly, both ends of the political spectrum can shoulder plenty of blame for today’s political discourse. But face-to-face meetings between lawmakers and constituents are vital for the health and vitality of the republic. “Government to be safe and to be free, must consist of representatives having a common interest and a common feeling with the represented,” declared the 19th century lawmaker John Randolph of Roanoke. Face-to-face meetings can help launch important congressional action and oversight. Veterans may find out important benefits they are entitled to receive. Citizens could receive help on a host of important issues, such as immigration or social security. Sens. Ted Kennedy and Jesse Helms were known for excelling at constituent services.
Strong constituent services help lawmakers stay in Congress and build seniority. That, of course, has advantages and disadvantages. But a well-trained and energetic staff also helps real Americans who face problems where only congressional action might provide real relief, especially as a way to fight a sometimes frustrating and unresponsive executive branch. Civil disobedience and disagreement should be encouraged. But citizens amped up to merely shout down lawmakers should consider the lack of access it may mean for those more deserving of congressional assistance and time. Lawmakers too should make themselves more available for those who oppose them. Democracy, it’s often said, is messy. But politicians voluntarily accept a messy job when they decide to run for office, and should act accordingly.

Trump’s reality TV presidency needs to get real W
hy is President Donald Trump still trying to turn the media into the bad guys of his reality TV show, er, I mean presidency? If media bashing is the last refuge of scoundrels, as I often say, Trump had better save some for a rainy day. He’s having plenty of those already. Sure, media bashing is easy. At his news conference marking the end of his first four weeks in office, Trump reminded the reporters that media approval ratings are lower than those of Congress. That’s cruel. But we’re used to it. Just about everybody hates the media, according to polls, but everybody has at least one favorite medium, whether it’s in print, online or over the air. That’s how we stay in business. Politicians, by contrast, can beat bad press as long as they have the voters with them. For Trump that’s still debatable, and he can’t seem to forget it. In fact, he was beating up on the press on the very day that a new Pew Research Center poll found his job approval to be much lower than those of other president in their first weeks in office: 39 per cent approved, while 56 percent disapproved. I think Trump beats up on the media — casually calling us “liars,” “scum” or “dishonest,” unless we give him friendly
Media bashing enables Trump to promote himself as a heroic champion of ordinary Americans against the media elite.
questions and glowing coverage — because he needs a foil. After all, he has both houses of Congress under control of his party. He has a pivotal seat to fill on the Supreme Court, tilting its majority in his favor. If things go wrong, who’s left to blame? Ah, yes, the media! Attacking the media might chip away at the ability of news media to challenge Team Trump’s “alternative facts,” as his counsel Kellyanne Conway memorably described their spin. Media bashing also enables Trump to promote himself as a heroic champion of ordinary Americans against the media elite and what Vice President Spiro Agnew lambasted as “nattering nabobs of negativism,” a label I often have worn with pride. The line between politics and entertainment has been thinning ever since the rise of television. But Trump has taken the show biz side to a new level. Judging by his raucous first solo news conference as president, the former real estate developer and star of “The Apprentice” never really left TV — in his own mind. He merely moved from entertainment programming to the news channels, which for him was a remarkably easy move to make after years of reinventing himself through TV. As Trump’s long-time friend and adviser Roger Stone explained in the PBS “Frontline” documentary “The Choice 2016,” Trump’s 14 seasons on “The Apprentice” gave Trump the star power that he needed to get himself elected without having any experience at running government. “The Apprentice” took Trump into households nationwide as the perfect Hollywood version of a corporate leader, complete with a tall throne-like boardroom chair and a memorable commanding tag line: “You’re fired!” And appearances matter. “The elites say, ‘That’s reality TV,’ ” Stone recalled. “But the voters don’t see it that way. To them, TV news and entertainment — it’s all television.” Right. It’s all television. In fact, there are moments when “It’s all television” seems to be the Trump administration’s unofficial motto. Unfortunately for him, Trump sounded in his news conference as though nobody gave him the script for running the White House. For 77 minutes, the news conference hopped from topic to topic, with Trump dodging the hard questions — which was almost all of them. His style that merged boasting, scolding, a sermon and a comedy monologue. He was Mr. President as Mr. Entertainer. The hastily organized presser seemed to be aimed at countering reports of chaos, scandal, incompetence and other troubles in his new administration. Hey, no chaos, he tried to assure the world. “This administration is running like a fine-tuned machine,” he said. I don’t think anybody believed that. However, he did give us a new Orwellian observation about the media to top Conway’s “alternative facts”: “Leaks are real, the news is fake.” Wrap your mind around that for a while. In fact, if the leaks are real, the news is real, too. Trump needs to face that reality or end up on “America’s Next Top Failure.” Clarence Page is a syndicated columnist and member of the Chicago Tribune’s editorial board.

On trade and tariffs, there’s nothing free I The call for import restrictions, in the name of saving jobs, is politically popular in some quarters. But few talk about the costs.
t was Nobel laureate economist Milton Friedman who made famous the adage, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” Professor Friedman could have added that there is a difference between something’s being free and something’s having a zero price. For example, people say that there’s free public education and there are free libraries, but public education and libraries cost money. Proof that they have costs is the fact that somebody has to have less of something by giving up tax money so that schools and libraries can be produced and operated. A much more accurate statement is that we have zeroprice public education and libraries. Costs can be concealed but not eliminated. If people ignore costs and look only to benefits, they will do darn near anything, because everything has a benefit. Politicians love the fact that costs can easily be concealed. The call for import restrictions, in the name of saving jobs, is politically popular in some quarters. But few talk about the costs. We know there are costs because nothing is free. Let’s start with a hypothetical example of tariff costs. Suppose a U.S. clothing manufacturer wants to sell a suit for $200. He is prevented from doing so because customers can purchase a nearly identical suit produced by a foreign manufacturer for $150. But suppose the clothing manufacturer can get Congress
to impose a $60 tariff on foreign suits in the name of leveling the playing field and fair trade. What happens to his chances of being able to sell his suit for $200? If you answered that his chances increase, go to the head of the class. Next question is: Who bears the burden of the tariff? If you answered that it’s customers who must pay $50 more for a suit, you’re right again. In his 2012 State of the Union address, President Barack Obama boasted that “over 1,000 Americans are working today because we stopped a surge in Chinese tires.” According to a study done by the Peterson Institute for International Economics, those trade restrictions forced Americans to pay $1.1 billion in higher prices for tires. So though 1,200 jobs were saved in the U.S. tire industry, the cost per job saved was at least $900,000 in that year. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary of tire builders in 2011 was $40,070. Here’s a question for those of us who support trade restrictions in the name of saving jobs: In whose pockets did most of the $1.1 billion that Americans paid in higher prices go? It surely did not reach tire workers in the form of higher wages. According to the Peterson Institute study, “most of the money extracted by protection from household budgets goes to corporate coffers, at home or abroad, not paychecks of American workers.
In the case of tire protection, our estimates indicate that fewer than 5 percent of the consumer costs per job saved reached the pockets of American workers.” There is another side to this. When households have to pay higher prices for tires, they have less money to spend on other items — such as food, clothing and entertainment — thereby reducing employment in those industries. Some people point out that other countries, such as Japan, impose heavy tariffs on American products. Indeed, Tokyo levies a 490 percent tariff on rice imports to allow Japanese rice growers to gain higher income by charging Japanese consumers four times the world price for rice. Therefore, some suggest that Congress should even the playing field by imposing stiff tariffs on Japanese imports to the U.S. Such an argument differs little from one that says that because the Japanese government screws its citizens, the U.S. government should retaliate by screwing its own citizens. Putting the issue in another context: If you and I are at sea in a rowboat and I commit the foolish act of shooting a hole in my end of the boat, would it be intelligent for you to retaliate by shooting a hole in your end of the boat? Walter E. Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University.

A company of the 173rd Airborne Brigade is on patrol for Viet Cong soldiers… “Specialist Lawrence Joel demonstrated indomitable courage, determination, and professional skill when a numerically superior and wellconcealed Viet Cong element launched a vicious attack which wounded or killed nearly every man in the lead squad of the company. “After treating the men wounded by the initial burst of gunfire, he bravely moved forward to assist others who were wounded while proceeding to their objective. While moving from man to man, he was struck in the right leg by machine gun fire. Although painfully wounded, his desire to aid his fellow soldiers transcended all personal feeling. “He bandaged his own wound and self-administered morphine to deaden the pain, enabling him to continue his dangerous undertaking. Through this period of time, he constantly shouted words of encouragement to all around him. Then, completely ignoring the warnings of others, and his pain, he continued his search for wounded, exposing himself to hostile fire; and,

as bullets dug up the dirt around him, he held plasma bottles high while kneeling, completely engrossed in his life-saving mission. “Then, after being struck a second time and with a bullet lodged in his thigh, he dragged himself over the battlefield and succeeded in treating 13 more men before his medical supplies ran out. “Displaying resourcefulness, he saved the life of one man by placing a plastic bag over a severe chest wound to congeal the blood. As one of the platoons pursued the Viet Cong, an insurgent force in concealed positions opened fire on the platoon and
wounded many more soldiers. “With a new stock of medical supplies, Joel again shouted words of encouragement as he crawled through an intense hail of gunfire to the wounded men. After the 24-hour battle subsided and the Viet Cong dead numbered 410, snipers continued to harass the company. “Throughout the long battle, Joel never lost sight of his mission as a medical aidman and continued to comfort and treat the wounded until his own evacuation was ordered. His meticulous attention to duty saved a large number of lives and his unselfish, daring example under most adverse conditions was an inspiration to all. Joel’s profound concern for his fellow soldiers, at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty are in the highest traditions of the U.S. Army and reflect great credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of his country.” Lawrence Joel, born Feb. 22, 1928 in Winston-Salem, was the first black American to be awarded the Medal of Honor in the 20th century.

Trump administration drafts plan to raise asylum bar, speed deportations Washington, D.C. The Department of Homeland Security has prepared new guidance for immigration agents aimed at speeding up deportations by denying asylum claims earlier in the process. The new guidelines, contained in a draft memo dated Feb. 17 but not yet sent to field offices, directs agents to only pass applicants who have a good chance of ultimately getting asylum, but does not give specific criteria for establishing credible fear of persecution if sent home.
Trump to exclude U.S. ‘dreamer’ migrants from crackdown Illegal immigrant brought to the U.S. as children will be protected in new border security plan
The guidance also calls for the hiring of 10,000 more U.S. Immigration and Customs (ICE) agents and 5,000 more U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents. The DHS will need to publish a notice in the Federal Register subject to review in order to implement one part of the plan that calls on ICE agents to increase the number of immigrants who are not given a hearing before being deported. The new rules would subject immigrants who cannot show they have been in the country for more than two years to “expedited removal.” Currently, only migrants apprehended near the border who cannot show they have been in the country more than 14 days are subject to rapid removal. The memos also instructs ICE
to detain migrants who are awaiting a court decision on whether they will be deported or granted relief, such as asylum. DHS officials said they are reviewing what jurisdictions may have laws in place that prevent the amount of time immigrants can be held. The agency also plans to send non-Mexican migrants crossing the southern U.S. border back into Mexico as they await a decision on their case. The DHS officials said this plan would be dependent on partnerships with the Mexican government and would not be implemented overnight. An official with Mexico’s immigration department said it is “impossible for the United States to send deported or repatriated Central Americans to Mexico” because of existing treaties between the United States and Mexico. The guidelines were released a day before U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly were due in Mexico City for talks with President Enrique Pena Nieto and Mexican officials. Trump’s planned measures against illegal immigrants have drawn protests, such as an event last week that activists called “A Day Without Immigrants” to highlight the importance of the foreign-born, who account for 13 percent of the U.S. population, or more than 40 million naturalized American citizens. N.C.‘s lawmakers are also working on immigration plans, including Senator Thom Tillis and Congressman David Rouzer of Johnston County. The two joined a Congressional delegation tour of the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday and Tuesday. They were given a tour of the border and were briefed on law enforcement’s strategy to improving public safety, and ensuring the flow of legitimate trade and travel through ports of entry.

Senate and was order enrolled. The bill will be the first presented to Cooper from the Republican supermajorities in the state legislature and may be at some risk of veto. Though many Democrats oppose the reduction of the board as a threat to diverse representation, Cooper may ultimately keep his veto pen out of the ink well. The fact that Spellings has been publicly supportive of the bill and the likelihood that among forthcoming legislation there will be
bills more upsetting to partisan sensibilities than H.B. 39, makes a case for the governor keeping his powder dry for now. To wit, Republicans in the legislature have sufficient override votes if Cooper does decide to veto the bill. Now that the seal is broken, the General Assembly is likely to send a slew of bills to the governor’s desk in coming days and weeks. Multiple appropriations committees met Tuesday to review funding details in anticipation of receiving Cooper’s full budget recommendations by early March. A piece of that budget was revealed Monday when Cooper unveiled a teacher pay raise proposals contained therein.
By Julia Edwards Ainsley Reuters WASHINGTON, D.C. — The White House says it is working closely with federal agencies on new immigration guidelines to make sure they stand up to legal scrutiny in the wake of outcry over an executive order signed last month. President Donald Trump is expected to present another travel order later this week with a more targeted approach to vetting visitors from seven countries that the U.S. State Department has listed as “countries of concern” for in the war on terrorism. The White House offered guidelines Tuesday that address some of the finer details of an immigration plan in which almost all illegal immigrants will be considered subject to deportation. However, protections will remain in place for immigrants known as “dreamers” who entered the country illegally as children, according to official guidelines released on Tuesday. The Department of Homeland Security guidance to immigration agents is part of a broader plan for border security and immigration enforcement in executive orders that Trump signed on Jan. 25.

The trade of Demarcus Cousins from the Sacramento Kings to the New Orleans Pelicans shakes up the west By NSJ Staff
Anthony Davis’ record-breaking 52-point performance. Now the two are teammates. Cousins was officially traded to the Pelicans on Monday, ending a bizarre run with the Kings and putting Sacramento GM Vlade Divac squarely in the spotlight for a deal many believe the Kings got the worst of. Divac didn’t help matters by firing shots in Cousins direction when the deal became official. “It was time for a change and I decided this was the best direction for the organization,” Divac said. “Winning begins with culture and character matters. Cousins joins forces with Davis to form a dominant frontcourt with the Pelicans (24-33). New
Orleans is on the heels of the Denver Nuggets for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West. The Kings sent Cousins and forward Omri Casspi for rookie guard Buddy Hield, swingman Tyreke Evans, guard Langston Galloway, a 2017 first-round pick and a 2017 second-round pick. Cousins, who will be a free agent after the season, is averaging career highs of 29.1 points per game and 11.2 rebounds. He is shooting 45.1 percent and making a career-high 35.4 percent from 3-point range. He won’t have to move far either, finishing the 2017 All-Star Game in New Orleans before finding out about the deal. Davis, who was named the All-Star Game MVP, almost couldn’t believe the trade was real. Once the rumors really spread, he was elated. “This is an unbelievable weekend,” Davis said. All-Star MVP and now getting Boogie. It doesn’t get better than this.” Davis also called Cousins an “elite player in this league” when describing the big man to reporters after the game.

uring his seven games filling in as Duke’s acting head coach, Jeff Capel never sat in the third seat on the bench. “That’s Coach’s seat,” Capel said. “He’s still here.” Hall of Fame head coach Mike Krzyzewski, whose back surgery resulted in Capel filling in as the head coach, is back in the third seat on the bench and has led Duke to a late-season run — seven straight ACC wins as of Saturday. Despite the fact that Coach K has returned, for Saturday’s 99-94 win at Cameron Indoor Stadium, Capel finally sat in the third seat on the bench. Capel, a former Duke player under Coach K, may have refused to take the seat in Krzyzewski’s absence, but the presence of another mentor finally moved him over. Jeff Capel II, former college coach and Capel’s father, sat on Duke’s bench. He took the second chair — the one normally reserved for his son. Krzyzewski moved down to the fourth seat to make room. Capel, who spent 30 years as a coach at the high school, college and pro level, is battling ALS, a fact that his son announced in a heartfelt article published earlier this season, while he was still leading Duke to a 4-3 record in Krzyzewski’s absence. “It was special,” Krzyzewski said. “For me, I didn’t realize how good it would feel to see father and son together on the bench. It was a great moment — not a good moment. It was a big time moment.” The elder Capel is best known for coaching at Old Dominion, but most of his coaching career was spent in North Carolina — first at Pinecrest High School, then Fayetteville State and NC A&T. He also spent time on staffs at Wake Forest, the Fayetteville team in the D-League, and the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats. In addition to sending Jeff III into the coaching ranks, following a playing career at Duke, younger brother Jason Capel coached at Appalachian State following a playing career at UNC. “The Capel family have been amazing for us,” Krzyzewski said. “He’s part of our family. Really for the state of North Carolina, the Capel family has been astronomical — grandfather, mom and

The Blue Devils are once again the top team in the state in the N.C. Power Rankings. Since a loss at home to NC State on Jan. 23, Duke has beaten UNC, Notre Dame and Virginia during a three-week win streak. Jayson Tatum continues to emerge as one of the best freshmen in the ACC. Tatum, along with Luke Kennard and Grayson Allen, have the Devils looking like a potential No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament again.
The Tar Heels blistered both NC State and Virginia. Both wins came by exactly 24 points in different fashion, with UNC’s offense blowing out the Wolfpack and the defense holding the Cavaliers to 41 points. The loss of Kenny Williams hurts the Heels’ perimeter defense, but it’s clearly not that big of a dropoff. Justin Jackson is emerging as the clear star of the team, but the Heels as a whole are neck-and-neck with the Devils for a top seed.
The Seahawks are a perplexing team but one that still looks like the clear CAA favorite. UNCW ranks 12th in the country in total offense. However, the 74.5 points allowed comes in at 233rd out of 347 total teams in the NCAA. But after winning two straight CAA regular season titles and coming in as the defending CAA Tournament champs, there’s only a little bit of concern in Wilmington for March.
The only thing stronger than LeVelle Moton’s blazer game is his team’s MEAC play. Through 12 conference games, the Eagles are 11-1 with an 11-game winning streak. Already compiling a 20-win campaign for the fourth time in the last five years, Moton has NCCU on the cusp of yet another NCAA Tournament berth. Competing in a conference where only one other team is above .500, the odds look pretty good for the Eagles.
Pfeiffer has the longest win streak (12) in the state and Falcons keep climbing here. That’s thanks to Pfeiffer’s ridiculous 106.8 points per game this season and a perfect record (13-0) at home. The Falcons avenged their last loss in Conference Carolinas play with an 8276 win over Limestone on Saturday. With nearly a week off before facing BelmontAbbey on Saturday, Pfeiffer now has a shot of winning the Conferece Carolinas title.

Since losing three straight a few weeks back, the Spartans have now won four straight — with the last two coming by an average of 20 points. Diante Baldwin — the first player to total 1,000 points, 400 assists and 400 rebounds in UNCG history — has the Spartans looking like a contender in the Southern Conference.
Outside of a win over NC State, which at this point means very little, the Deacons’ slide in the ACC continues. Wake Forest is now 6-9 in conference play after losses to lowly Clemson and a second close defeat against Duke despite John Collins’ 31 points and 15 rebounds in Cameron.

UNC’s Roy thinks Gottfried got raw deal, says NCSU offered him The Tar Heels’ coach and noted Wolfpack hater was approached about trading in his Carolina blue for NC State red By Brett Friedlander North State Journal HAPEL HILL — Some of the most impressive names in colC lege basketball are already being
mentioned as potential candidates for the NC State coaching job now that Mark Gottfried is officially out at the end of the season. North Carolina’s Roy Williams isn’t among them. That makes sense, since Williams is a Tar Heel born and bred who openly professes his dislike for the Wolfpack. And yet there was a time, believe it or not, that the Hall of Famer was actually approached about the possibility of trading in his Carolina blue for State red and coaching his most bitter rival. “I was offered the job at State,” Williams said, surprising everyone in the room at his regular weekly press conference Friday. “The original call was made to me a hundred years ago.” Williams’ revelation marked
the first time he’s mentioned the interest shown in him by State. He didn’t even include it in his autobiography, written a few years ago with former sportswriter Tim Crothers. The UNC coach wouldn’t elaborate on when the offer came or who made it, but it’s likely to have happened when Jim Valvano stepped down in 1990. Williams had just finished his second season at Kansas at the time and had not yet established himself as one of the best in the business. It might also have happened six years later after Les Robinson was fired. Either way, Williams’ response to the offer was as predictable as the result of a first round NCAA game between a No. 1 and a No. 16 seed. “I said how the dickens can I come coach at State?” Williams said. “That just doesn’t make sense. But I was called and asked about it on two different occasions when I was at Kansas.” As little interest as Williams had in joining the Wolfpack, he said that the job is a lot better than those in the national media want to make it out to be — though he did acknowledge that whoever takes it will have his work cut out for him. “It’s a great job, a great school, a great program in the ACC with

a lot of basketball tradition, Williams said. “But it’s a hard job. Every one in this league is a hard job. You’re going to have some spells where things don’t go as smoothly as you want them to go.” Gottfried had fallen onto some of those hard times after leading State to the NCAA tournament in his first four seasons there, including two Sweet 16 appearances. The Wolfpack is 14-13 overall, 3-11 in the ACC with six straight losses. Four of those defeats have come by 24 points or more.
Because reports of his imminent demise were running rampant in the days leading the second of two meetings between the Tar Heels and Wolfpack on Wednesday, Williams said he wasn’t surprised when Gottfried’s dismissal became official less than 24 hours after UNC’s 97-73 victory at PNC Arena. “It’s a sad thing, because Mark’s whole family has got to go through it.” said Williams, who added that the time of the firing only made the situation worse.
“I don’t think any college coach should be fired during the season,” Williams said. “It’s college basketball, it’s college sports. If you want to make a decision as an athletic director that’s your right. I don’t like that part of it. But I’m not the athletic director. I’m definitely not the athletic director at North Carolina State. “She had to make her decision, what she thought was best. It’s hard. Coaching is hard in this league. But firing the coach is not always the answer.”
Jay Bilas believes Wolfpack coaching position ‘not a great job, but a good job’ “The top targets I’m seeing in the paper I don’t think are coming” By Shawn Krest North State Journal ESPN College GameDay host Jay Bilas is a member of the national media with an intimate view of Tobacco Road basketball. Bilas played for four years at Duke, coached on Mike Krzyzewski’s staff for three seasons, and his son is on Wake Forest’s team. In addition, Bilas has made frequent trips to the area in his work for ESPN, including GameDay stops at Duke and North Carolina this year. As a player, Bilas scored a total of 47 points in his eight games against NC State. He went 8-7 against the Pack in his playing and coaching career. The Wolfpack won the 1983 national title during Bilas’ freshman year at Duke. So it’s natural that Bilas would have strong opinions on the Wolfpack’s decision to fire coach Mark Gottfried, and on the status of the head coaching job at NC State. “I’m a realist,” Bilas said. “We all serve at the pleasure of our superiors. So I understand the decision. I do think it’s interesting that if you look at Mark Gottfried’s tenure there — he got to State at the same time as Jim Larranaga got to Miami. Put their records side by side, and, if you didn’t know who’s who, you’d pick Mark’s record.” Bilas stopped short of saying that State made a mistake in firing Gottfried, but he said he would have done things differently. “But it’s different everywhere,” he said. “People’s sensibilities are different. What they want is different. But it just seems like every five years, we’re going through this — NC State’s going through this. To me, at some point, you’ve got to say, ‘Well, who’s making the decisions there?’ Because that’s part of it too.” “This is pro sports,” Bilas continued. “Players go to school, but it’s pro sports. Guys are going to get fired. They’re making a lot of money, but they’re going to get fired. I may not agree with it but …” Bilas refused to accuse NC State of having unrealistic expectations, however, just because he wasn’t on board with the move. “Expectations can be whatever they want,” he said. “I don’t care what their expectations are. That’s their business. But when you look at it objectively, I’m a big believer in what [former Florida A.D.] Jeremy Foley said — ‘What you will do eventually, you should do immediately.’ So I’m not out there saying, ‘Hey, give him another year.’ If they want to fire him, fine.

Capel from page B1 Geoff Burke | Usa today sports images
ESPN College GameDay host Jay Bilas talks during a live broadcast prior to the game between Virginia and North Carolina at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville on Feb. 26, 2016.
I’m not arguing with the decision. Somehow, when somebody says, ‘I would’ve done it differently,’ it’s like you’re saying, ‘You did a bad job.’ Do what you want. I don’t care what they do. But the numbers are the numbers. In the 20 years before he got there, they went to 5 NCAA tournaments, and he went to four in six yrs. That’s pretty good. In 20 years, they won five NCAA tournament games. He won 5. They went to one Sweet 16 in 20 years. He went to two. He’s had a couple rough years. I’m not going to argue with that. I’m not storming Raleigh with torches and pitchforks. I just have a different view.” His view on the head coaching job at State is also going to be unpopular with Wolfpack faithful. “NC State’s a good job,” he said. “It’s not a great job, but it’s a good job. I do think that last time, when they went through the hiring process, their top candidates all said no. I would be prepared for that again.” Compared to the rest of the ACC, Bilas views NC State as a middle-of-the-pack job. “I’d say middle,” he said. “Look, it’s not a hard analysis. Is it a better job than Duke? Is it a better job than Carolina? Is it a better job than Louisville? Notre Dame? Miami? Is it better than any of those? I don’t know the answer to that, but I’ve got my feeling, and I think it’s in the middle.” With the competitive level of the rest of the ACC, Bilas thinks that the middle is not a good place to be. “It is a very different league now than it was in the 80s,” he said. “You can be really good and finish ninth in this league, now. You couldn’t finish ninth back then. There were eight teams in the league. But that can happen. And so I think that’s factored in. There are other jobs out there that are a lot better. People don’t want to hear that. Especially if you’re a
fan in red, you don’t want to hear that. But it’s true. The top [head coach] targets that I’m reading in the paper, I don’t think are coming.” Part of the problem, Bilas thinks, is having Duke and Carolina so close. While that doesn’t impact a team’s success directly, it offers a different prism through which to view accomplishments at State. “It’s part of the equation, when you’ve got that down the road,” Bilas said. “You’re kind of going, ‘Why not us?’ Absolutely, that’s part of it, but the bigger picture of it is where do you fit in to the entire league? Because, if they’re finishing third to Duke and Carolina the entire time, that would be okay. That would be pretty good. But that’s not all that’s there. You’ve got to play Syracuse. You’ve got to play all these teams that are perennial contenders and top teams.” Climbing from the middle to the top of the new expanded ACC is significantly tougher than it was just a few years ago, when Virginia — whose most recent coaching change is being held up as the one for NC State to emulate — made the climb. “The best of the Big East and the ACC basically merged, and now you’re fighting that. It’s a different league for Pittsburgh now than it was. Pitt was a better fit in the old Big East than they are in the ACC, and that’s going to be a struggle. There’s going to have to be an adjustment made. It’s hard. It’s really hard, especially if you’re building in this league. That’s why the best positioned for the new league was probably Virginia. Because Tony Bennett came in there and got the program going. “We’re getting to the point in the next several years — I don’t know the timetable, but coaching jobs are going to turn over in this league. Virginia is in a very good position to go forward.”

Felton Sr. broadcast radio play-by-play for Fayetteville State before moving into business, where he eventually earned a spot in the North Carolina Business Hall of Fame. The family’s impact on the state inspired Krzyzewski to honor Jeff II with a spot on the bench. “I asked Jeff two nights ago,” he said. “I just had the idea. I didn’t want to do it our last home game, because it’s for the seniors. I didn’t want to publicize it. I asked Jeff, ‘What do you

His assistant coach sent back word that his father would be on board, and Krzyzewski sent the formal invitation … by text message. “It’s better for us to text,” he said. “He was excited. He even used emojis, which shocked Jeff.” With the reconfigured bench, Duke treated the elder Capel to a wild, high-scoring game which wasn’t decided until Amile Jefferson pulled down a rebound with 16 seconds left, protecting Duke’s one-possession lead. Then, after using his son’s seat for the game, Capel returned to his son’s locker room for one last surprise. “The kids presented him with the ball after the game,” Krzyzewski said. I’m glad that that happened.”

This season with New Orleans, he averaged 18.8 points in 26 games after returning from a knee injury. Hield was the Pelicans’ first-round pick last June. In 57 games, he is averaging 8.6 points.

Kristi Van Zyl, who runs the painted furniture company Chalk It Up, stands outside of her garage studio in the backyard of her Raleigh house.
In a time where many businesses are moving, the capital city saw some happy news from a longtime Peace Street tenant. Fallon’s Florist came out after Valentine’s Day and publicly stated that they would remain where they are for some time to come.
From old to new: Using paint to transform furniture By Laura Ashley Lamm North State Journal ou pulled an old three-drawer dresser out of the attic, you found the perfect small table at a Y flea market, you bought a wooden chair for a steal at
an estate sale, or you are tired of looking at the coffee table in your den. You have this piece of furniture, and you are certain it needs a new look, a fresh coat of paint and workable hardware. Now’s the time to Chalk It Up into the perfect piece for your home in a design that is uniquely you. “Paint transforms looks so you’ll end up feeling like you have a brand-new piece,” said Kristi Abernethy Van Zyl. The owner and designer of Chalk It Up, a custom furniture business, Van Zyl uses paint and a brush to transform the old into new. She mostly uses Chalk Paint, which is actually a trademarked brand of paint by Annie Sloan of the United Kingdom though other companies have similar paints, for its ability to adhere to furniture. “Chalk Paint has a chalk-like consistency that adheres beautifully to furniture without a lot of prep work. It is basically paint with a huge boost of primer,” said Van Zyl. Chalk Paint, is not the same as chalkboard paint, and can be used over wood that has been stained, covered with a sealant, or has an existing finish. The additives in chalk paint allows for easy sticking to surfaces. See chalk it up, page C6

just a pinch Don’t put all your eggs in one basket: This is one of the most underutilized packing tips when couples or groups travel together. Mix and match your clothing and items in each other’s luggage when packing. You can get everything all straightened out when you arrive, but if someone loses their luggage at least there’s a chance of one or two backup outfits being present in the mix.

Although the three initial monogram, or the Victorian style, may still be the most common design for marking your individual initials, new styles are fun to play with as you embellish different items around your home. Sometimes monograms can incorporate a hobby or interest or simply integrate a style that works with your personal design such as floral or coastal.
The practice of placing initials on items in an ornamental mark dates back for centuries. The traditional manner of monogramming items consists of the first letter of a person’s first, middle, and last name with the last name in the middle and the first name on the left and middle on the right. Monograms can be elevated with embroidery on fine linens in muted tones or taken down to the everyday and placed on your vehicle with a sticker.

2 pounds Brussels sprouts 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt Freshly ground black pepper, to taste Heat oven to 400 F. Place rack in center position of oven. Cut sprout in half, lengthwise. Place Brussels sprouts in a large bowl (or a gallon-sized plastic bag). Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently toss Brussels sprouts (or shake in bag) until evenly coated with oil and seasonings. Spread out Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 35 minutes, flipping every 10 minutes. Watch closely as the end of the cooking time nears. Brussels sprouts are done when they are crispy and golden brown. Transfer Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl, serve warm.
By Laura Ashley Lamm North State Journal riting a note with a pen and piece of paper will far W surpass digital correspondence.
The handwritten note is an artful conversation that remains timeless. Whether it is a note of condolence for a friend who lost a loved one, a get well soon wish, a thank you, or a cheer of congratulations, the handwritten note remains thoughtful and personal. A note can be written on monogrammed stationary or a printed card picked up at the drugstore. Be creative with how you want your stationary to look. Should it be colorful to convey cheer? Should it be cream colored to convey deep sympathy? Think about the conversation you are crafting in the note and the situation for which you are writing. Share a funny story, offer a verse of scripture, describe how you will use the gift; for whatever occasion causing you to write, fill the paper with thoughts you think the other person will find interesting. Whether you use calligraphy, print, or cursive writing, neatness counts. The letter should be legible to the recipient. Handwritten
notes can be saved for years, scrapbooked or pinned to a bulletin board. Instead of jotting a two-sentence email between meetings, take the time to write a handwritten note. The recipient will smile and remember the kind gesture.

essentials SousVide: This little cooking gadget came on strong in 2016 and is poised to keep charging in 2017. “Sous vide” means “under vacuum” in French and no you do not need a vacuum, your food cooks under water and although it takes a little longer — think Crock-Pot timing for the 21st century — it is done at the perfect temperature, maintaining all of the moisture and preserving all of the nutrients.
reach for When you sincerely enjoy the distinct flavor of a place it is only natural to want to share it with everyone. Nicole Bogas has made it her business to do so by packaging carefully curated North Carolina products at NC Made. By Jennifer Wood North State Journal he idea for a food gift box company took hold while workT ing for an advertising company.
“We would ship gifts to our clients during the holidays,” said Bogas. “I wanted to show off what great products we had here in N.C. so I sat with the idea for a little while and then made the leap in 2014.” When she did make the leap this Southern entrepreneur made a wholehearted commitment to the Tar Heel state by gathering items she loved and felt her clients would as well. The initial launch went well and included themed lines that consisted of items like the N.C. Barbecue box, which is ecumenical in that it includes the Edia BBQ map along with Western and Eastern styles of barbecue sauce. Soon after Bogas added a corporate gift line and a handcrafted wedding gift line. “This was a case of something I would have loved to have had to give to my wedding party,” said Bogas. “So it was a natural addition to the NC Made line of gifts.” In November of 2016 Bogas introduced a new line of city gift boxes from Queen City to Bull City and Oak City sourcing products from Charlotte, Durham, and Raleigh makers.

For a blemish that’s red use a yellow color corrector which will tone down the blemish’s redness. To finish it off, top it with an oil free powder to set the corrector.

They are returning the business to the block where they first opened their doors over 30 years ago on Front Street. Owner Miriam Oehrlein says, “We are looking forward to increased foot traffic and hopefully this move will allow us to introduce more people to our wonderful roster of North Carolina artists!” In conjunction with downtown Wilmington’s Fourth Friday Gallery Nights, the gallery will host their first exhibition at their new location on Friday, Feb. 24, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. This exhibition, “Artful Home,” is an interior design showcase featuring vignettes styled by several of Wilmington’s most popular interior designers.

By Emory Rakestraw For the North State Journal n 100,000 square feet of showroom space, Zaki Uddin Khalifa Iknows every single one of the 12,000
rugs because he picked each one out himself. Traveling five months per year, Zaki ventures to Iran, Turkey and his native land of Pakistan in search of the finest handcrafted Oriental rugs. “You’d be hard-pressed to find another rug in the world,” Zaki said. The unique, one-of-a-kind selection has established his business as the largest selection in the United States. If it was up to his grandfather, who Zaki was raised by, he would have followed in his footsteps as a lawyer or cabinet member in Pakistan. His interest in rug making began at the age of six and today has landed him the reputation as “The King of Oriental Rug Dealers.” Zaki lays out two rugs, both priced at around $20, noting each has 20 knots per square inch. In comparison, a $14,000, 16-by-19 inch rug contains 4,900 knots per square inch. “Of course we have several hundred quality levels that are all on the floor,” he says. The more intricate the design, the more knots per square inch. Meticulous attention to detail resonates with quality. For the $14,000 rug barely the size of a doormat, from start to finish it took two and a half years to complete. “The designer has not just drawn the
design on one sheet of paper, the designer has explained all the thousands of rows of knots that are to be tied here using maybe 70, 80, 90, 100 sheets of paper,” said Zaki, describing the process. “There are thousands of rows of knots here. Each row of knots detailed here, it’s a shorthand of rug language, as it’s called, and the weaver is trained to decipher that.” Zaki has learned to decipher the language, his collection is unmatched as well as his reputation. In 33 years, there’s never been a complaint filed through Better Business Bureau. An almost impossible feat, but when meeting Zaki it is easy to see why. His clients come from all over the world. A large showroom in the back is where he houses the most prized possessions. Sprawling, handmade silk rugs look more like art than anything you’d consider laying on a floor. One changes colors as you walk around it, but it is only one of the mesmerizing luxurious treasures in Zaki’s showroom. Zaki’s true contributions are not his collection of unique rugs, but what he is has given to the community. He arrived to the United States by plane on July 4, 1976, wanting to settle somewhere in the Western world. Growing up in Lahore, the second largest city in Pakistan, he believed he’d work in New York but found himself in High Point after his former professor and close friend, Dr. Wheeless, invited him to come stay with
his family. Now 72, Zaki has donated three buildings to the community; the $1.5 million High Point Chamber of Commerce, the High Point Community Against Violence and the Foster Children of North Carolina agency. Zaki is a devout Muslim, and when he arrived in High Point, there was only one other Muslim family. Today, there are 700. Zaki has become the go-to person for community discussion on the ever-changing political and public climate on views towards immigrants, especially after the heated travel ban imposed by President Donald Trump. “The rhetoric is so negative lately, one needs to speak out, it’s the first time I feel that way,” he says. “We should get to know people, not shun them for who they are.” Zaki has been recognized as one of the 50 Most Outstanding Asian Americans in Business, received the Minority Business Advocate of the Year Award from the High Point Chamber of Commerce, and the BB&T Distinguished Citizen of the Year Award. When walking into the almost overwhelming showroom, it is amazing to think about how Zaki started in 1977 with 3,000 square feet and has grown the business into what it is today. While the rugs are the showcase and spotlight, the true heart of Zaki’s story is the philanthropy and contribution to the community from a man who at the end of a day is an immigrant himself.
tory, architecture, and antiques was an early start to establishing her keen eye that today dictates both her business and style. Hollowell received her bachelor’s degree in design in 1992 and immediately started working for a major residential furniture manufacturer. She gained experience traveling around the U.S., Mexico, and Canada designing stores and showrooms. In 1999, she decided to turn her craft into entrepreneurship with Carole Hollowell Interiors, originally working in high-end residential and commercial across North Carolina. Her most recent major projects have been sorority houses. She just completed the Kappa Kappa Gamma house at NC State University and is currently designing a sorority house at the University of Kentucky. While Hollowell designs around her clients, of her personal style she says, “I like very clean, a mix of traditional and updated things. I like to mix antiques, acrylics, and modern art. Updated traditional with a mix of old and new.” When it comes to selecting pieces, she pays respects to her home state, noting that furniture essentially originated in Western North Carolina. “My goal is to do as many items made in America as possible, especially the ones made in North Carolina and the western part of the state.” Hollowell works with A. Hoke Ltd design center in Raleigh, Karen Saks in Raleigh, and Vanguard Furniture which she described as one of her favorite sources for upholstery. When it comes to furniture from High Point Market, Hollowell said, “I’m a market junkie, we’re so fortunate to be so close.” At this past market she noticed trends were extremely different and almost hard to pinpoint. There’s a prominent juxtaposition with romantic dark tones paired with clean, bright whites. Geometrics also contrast with a “high drama” aesthetic. For spring and 2017, she said shades of gray are still popular but reinvented with pops of color. Pantone’s 2017 Color of the Year is Greenery, which adds an earthy, centered touch for both wall color and accent pieces. For other aspects, Hollowell noted the appearance of contemporary art, finishes in acrylic, and brushed gold. When it comes to wallpapers she said, “Beautiful chinoiserie and bold contemporary. Grasscloths are updated with a metallic background.” Kitchen cabinets are also getting a facelift from classic white to taupes, mushrooms, and grays. Cabinets in other areas of the home are making a bold statement with bright pops of turquoise, orange, red, and black. For lighting, contemporary fixtures have emerged in traditional rooms while beautiful woodwork on ceilings and walls is making a comeback.

Lights! Camera! Action! Getting ready for the Oscars’ red carpet Reuters It’s not just women who are getting ready for the Oscars’ red carpet on Sunday. Employing everything from paint to cosmetic procedures, Hollywood’s leading men are increasingly getting a little help to look their best on the most high-profile red carpet in the world. “I tell my male clients, this is not your sister’s make-up. This is a cosmetic collection that’s been tailored for men,” said dermatologist Dr. Janine Hopkins. Hopkins created the Minerals Black Tie collection to help men cover up severe skin blemishes, but it’s also being used by celebrities who walk the red carpet. “On the red carpet it would help to make the actor look just more youthful, more bright eyed and not have those dark circles showing up on camera,” Hopkins said. “Even though most of our male celebrities are quite flawless, they’re still not immune to the occasional breakout,” she said. Estheticians say that to get the best results, it’s best to start any procedures at least a week ahead of Sunday’s ceremony, where more than 60 photographers will be positioned on the 500 foot-long (152-meter) red carpet outside the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. An IV vitamin infusion is one of the latest offerings for achieving glowing skin. “Initially it’s internal because you’re getting the hydration and you’re getting all of the vitamins. But the effects of the vitamins are on the skin, on the immune system,” said Joy Edwards, a nurse specialist at Cassileth Plastic Surgery and Skin Care in Beverly Hills. As for the eyes, celebrities are moving away from fake eyelashes and opting for a more natural look with lash extensions, which are attached one by one to one’s own lashes. “The strip lashes, they look fake, they don’t look real,” said Candi Maldonado at Lash Loft in New York. “Lash extensions create more volume and extend the client’s lashes ... that’s why it gives a more natural look.”

Passion plus timing makes magic formula for 2017 Oscars Reuters his year’s Oscars is filled with projects fueled by passion and T deeply-held personal visions that
prevailed over skepticism, funding troubles and conventional wisdom. For favorite “La La Land,” which took director Damien Chazelle six years to get made, and indie challenger “Moonlight,” made on such a tight budget the cast and crew shared one trailer, the tortured path to the Academy Awards has only added to their allure. Other recent films like Martin Scorsese’s “Silence” was 28 years in the making, while Warren Beatty flirted for two decades with the idea of “No Rules Apply.” They were notably snubbed in awards season and at the box office, however, as was Ben Affleck’s personal project “Live by Night.” Hollywood awards watchers say that may have little to with the skill and commitment of the filmmakers. But certain passion projects and their creators found a way of breaking through to audi-
ences at what turned out to be the just the right moment, years after they were first conceived. “Timing is everything on these movies and how they resonate. It’s about passion but it’s also about being in the right place at the right time,” said Pete Hammond, awards columnist for Deadline. com. “Moonlight,” the tale of a young black man struggling to grow up in an impoverished Miami neighborhood, was drawn from the personal experiences of director Barry Jenkins and writer Tarell Alvin McCraney. “No one was doing it for the paycheck,” said “Moonlight“s Oscar-nominated supporting actress Naomie Harris. “We didn’t have a publicity budget, it was all word of mouth and us doing interviews.” Despite such hardships, the unsentimental view of bullying, drugs and gay issues arrived just as Hollywood was clamoring for movies about modern, black stories rather than “maids and slaves” fare. “Moonlight” has eight Oscar nominations.
The film shows “a very specific place and point of view and I think people right now want to experience genuine and authentic stories,” Jenkins said. Fantasy Comes Knocking Meanwhile, “La La Land,” a new, romantic musical with old world charm but a not-so-happy ending, is favorite to take the best picture Oscar on Sunday after getting a leading 14 nominations. Six years ago, “the idea of making an original Los Angeles-set movie was an utter fantasy,” said producer Fred Berger, while accepting a Golden Globe last month, thanking voters for “ignoring conventional wisdom.” After a bitter U.S. election campaign and a slew of sudden celebrity deaths in 2016, escaping it all with a musical has proved appealing. “Musicals have been very successful at times when the country is in a state of depression or war. When the nation is not in a good place, musicals explode,” said Craig Zadan, who with Neil Meron produced Oscar-winner “Chi-
cago” in 2002. Waiting does not always have a happy ending. Beatty directed, produced, wrote and starred in his film about Howard Hughes. But his dream project failed with audiences who may have felt they knew enough about the eccentric business and film tycoon from Scorsese’s acclaimed 2004 film “Aviator.” Also, after a 15 year-absence from movie screens, many people under 30 had barely heard of Beatty. Affleck channeled his love of 30s and 40s gangster movies to write, direct, produce and star in “Live by Night.” But critics said it fell short of celebrated films of the same genre like “The Godfather,” or the recent TV series “Boardwalk Empire.” Variety said poor box office resulted in a $75 million loss for movie studio Warner Bros. With “La La Land, Chazelle also used an old form, but he infused it with a modern love story about ambition and artistic compromise. “That’s the big difference in making it successful. Chazelle hit the zeitgeist because he knew he had to make it something for audiences today who would respond,” said Hammond. “It has the passion behind it but it also has something that people can relate to and that’s the magic formula,” he added.
Kristi Van Zyl uses her imagination and custom paint mixing skills to breathe new life into old furniture with her business Chalk It Up.

Chalk paint is known to be used on distressed furniture as it can be sanded easily for a weathered look. “Painting furniture has always been a fun passion of mine for more than ten years,” she added. What started as a side business, a change from her days in the mortgage sector, led to the opportunity to dive in and jump start Chalk It Up as a full-time job in 2016. “Though I work on all types of furniture pieces, I personally, am drawn to vintage. The dovetail construction, craftsmanship, solid wood, casts — vintage furniture is strong in quality and has lots of character,” said Van Zyl. Van Zyl gathers pieces from a collection of places, be it Craigslist or former clients looking to sell some of their pieces. She’s even partnered with an experienced furniture picker who travels to local auctions, estate sales, and antique shops on the hunt for the

next chalked piece. When working with customers, Van Zyl designs pieces to their preference. For paint color selections, she uses neutrals, blues and greens mostly. “There are so many amazing and fun colors you can use in these color palates,” said Van Zyl. “For pieces with detail work, it’s fun to add a second color for the details.

To create a dipped look, you can use two-color tones with one color on the bottom of the piece and another color of the top.” Dressers, cabinets, changing tables — all come with the opportunity to change not only the color, but the hardware, too. “Using new hardware such as knobs can change the look of a piece,” said Van Zyl. “Inspiration can come from all over the place — colors, Instagram, Facebook, and magazines,” she added, “While I find a ton of inspiration from these different places, it is very important to me
to put my own stamp on a piece. I think it’s crucial to be authentic.” Van Zyl can work with the client to have the piece coordinate with fabrics and wall colors. “It is all about customizing the piece to a look the client likes,” said Van Zyl. For Van Zyl, she feels furniture pieces are not required to match in a room. “I love a combination of wood in a room,” she said, “I like to mix painted neutrals and wood tones in a room and add a pop of color.” The styles of Van Zyl’s furniture pieces range from those with
clean lines for an elegant look to those rustic and distressed. “This is the fun part of designing furniture; there is a large spectrum of style,” she said. “There are so many techniques, washes and styles to choose from.” Her happy place is her workshop in her backyard. She has used referrals from clients, and social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram to grow her thriving business. “I joke with my clients that they cannot pick up and take home a piece until they are completely in love with it,” Van Zyl said.
