Pay raise for military passes U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. The Senate on Tuesday approved a wide-ranging, $854 billion bill that funds the military and a host of civilian agencies for the next year and provides a short-term fix to keep the government open through early December. The measure includes $675 billion for the Defense Department and boosts military pay by 2.6 percent, the largest pay raise in nine years. The bill also approves spending for Health and Human Services, Education, Labor and other agencies, including a 5 percent boost for the National Institutes of Health. Senators approved the bill 93-7.

Florence brings flooding and questions Emergency workers rescued and evacuated more than 2,200 people and around 575 animals NSJ Staff TRENTON/WILMINGTON — The death toll has risen to at least 34 in three states, with 26 fatalities in North Carolina, as Florence’s remnants went in two directions: Water flowed downstream toward the Carolina coast, and storms moved through the Northeast, where flash floods hit New Hampshire and New York. In the meantime, residents of Wilmington stood in line for hours for food and water Tuesday, after

military trucks were able to bring supplies to the flooded off city. Mayor Bill Saffo said two routes were now open into Wilmington, which had been completely cut off by floodwaters, but those roads could close again as water swells the Cape Fear River on the city’s west side. “We still are encouraging or asking folks not to come home,” said Woody White, chairman of the New Hanover County commissioners. “We want you here. We love you. We miss you. But access to Wilmington is still very limited and is not improving as quickly as we would like.” At Fayetteville, about 100 miles inland, near the Army’s sprawling

Brett Kavanaugh and accuser invited to testify in a committee hearing showdown Strategies taking shape for NC amendments fight Kavanaugh accuser earned her undergraduate degree at UNC Chapel Hill

By Alan Fram and LisaMascaro The Associated Press

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senate Republicans are moving forward with plans to hear testimony next Monday from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and a woman accusing him of sexual misconduct when they were teenagers at a party. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell accused Democrats of “blatant malpractice” by waiting weeks to disclose the letter Christine Blasey Ford had sent lawmakers describing the alleged incident. Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who had the letter, said she didn’t reveal it to protect Ford’s confidentiality, yet Ford took a lie detector test back in August and Democrats on the committee kept the letter under wraps. Critics say their actions indicate a plan for an 11th-hour announcement. “I believe that the member that first received that letter was as late as July, and quite honestly, I’m shocked that the matter didn’t come up in the nearly 32 hours of testimony that Judge Kavanaugh was before us,” said Sen. Thom Tillis (R- N.C.) Sunday on “Face the Nation.” Tillis is on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Ford told the Washington Post that Kavanaugh forced her into a room and tried undressing her during a party when both were in high school. Kavanaugh denies those allegations.

Groups gear up for battle on this year’s six proposed constitutional changes By David Larson For the North State Journal RALEIGH — With an unusually high number of constitutional changes on November’s ballot, there is a lot at stake for many groups and a lot of money being invested to sway the vote. The amendments cover issues as varied as voter ID, the right to hunt and fish, a state income tax cap, strengthening crime victims’ rights, and changes to both the state elections board and the process of filling judicial vacancies. After strong pushback from all the state’s living former governors, the legislature made adjustments to the latter two. The governors, including both Republicans and Democrats, staged a joint press conference to protest what they felt were efforts to sway the balance of powers in the oversight of

boards, commissions and the judiciary in those two amendments. Referring to the Board of Elections and judicial vacancy bills opposed by the former governors, Pat McCrory told the North State Journal, “I’m very pleased with the changes. They were very positive. But I still just don’t think these two amendments were needed.” Liberal activists have spent less effort trying to find areas of agreement and instead are going with a simpler message — “Nix All Six” — pushing a rejection all six amendments. The 501(c)(4) Stronger NC has raised $4,840 of their $10,000 goal on GoFundMe, and on Social. fund they have a goal of raising $3,500 specifically for their “Nix All Six” campaign. Stronger NC has set up a website, nixallsix.com, and has yard signs with the same message in place across the state. McCrory, despite actively opposing two of the amendments, said he will be voting for the other four of six, and that with support from large majorities for voter ID See AMENDMENTS, page A2

Floodwaters from Hurricane Florence inundate the town of Trenton, N.C. Susan Hedgepeth is assisted along with her dog Cooper by members of the U.S. Coast Guard in Lumberton, N.C. Members of the North Carolina Task Force urban search and rescue team wade through a flooded neighborhood looking for residents who stayed behind.

AMENDMENTS from page A1 and bipartisan backing of the victim’s rights bill “Marsy’s Law,” he saw those as legitimate ballot proposals. “I don’t remember anyone running on these other issues,” McCrory said. “I do remember people running on voter ID though. Some of this is just legislative overreach. As I said in the press conference, have the courage to run for governor if you want those powers.” McCrory said that during the election season, he and the other former governors were going to be “actively educating the public” on the two amendments they oppose. The victims’ rights proposal, Marsy’s Law, has backing from billionaire businessman Henry Nicholas, founder of Broadcom Corp., who is pursuing the effort in multiple states. The bill is named after his sister, Marsy, whose ex-boyfriend was convicted of her murder and then went on to harass their family. With $5 million from Nicholas, the Marsy’s Law for North Carolina organization is planning television, radio and other outreach to voters. The NAACP initially pursued

a legal challenge to the voter ID amendment, but with the courts eventually allowing ballots to be printed with that amendment present, the organization is likely to seek other methods of opposition. In addition, gun rights groups are likely to spend money to support the hunting and fishing amendment. According to political insiders though, most of the spending for November is being focused on candidates rather than passage of the amendments. But with independent spending from multiple organizations, there will still be a lot of jostling before the vote.

Fort Bragg, the Cape Fear River had risen about 50 feet toward a crest that was predicted to be more than 25 feet above flood level. The river swallowed trees, lamp posts and a parking lot near its banks. City officials warned that still-rising water threatened some neighborhoods and businesses that seemed safe, but said the worst was nearly over and life was beginning to return to normal. But as the state reels from Florence, many are asking how a Category 1 storm could bring such devastation. Meteorologists say its wind, not water, that determines the categories sometimes misleading to the public. When meteorologists downgraded Hurricane Florence from a powerful Category 4 storm to a Category 2 and then a Category 1, Wayne Mills figured he could stick it out. He regrets it. The Neuse River, normally 150 feet away, lapped near his door in New Bern on Sunday even as the storm had “weakened” further.

President Donald Trump will travel Wednesday to North Carolina, which bore the brunt of the powerful storm.

People like Mills can be lulled into thinking a hurricane is less dangerous when the rating of a storm is reduced. But those ratings are based on wind strength, not rainfall or storm surge — and water is responsible for 90 percent of storm deaths. Several meteorologists and disaster experts said something needs to change with the 47-year-old Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale to reflect the real risks in hurricanes. “The concept of saying ‘downgraded’ or ‘weakened’ should be forever banished,” said University of Georgia meteorology professor Marshall Shepherd. “With Florence, I felt it was more danger-

ous after it was lowered to Category 2.” It was a lowered category that helped convince Famous Roberts, a corrections officer from Trenton, to stay behind. “Like a lot of people (we) didn’t think it was actually going to be as bad,” he said. “With the category drop ... that’s another factor why we did stay.” Once a storm hits 74 mph it is considered a Category 1 hurricane. It ratchets up until it reaches the top-of-the-scale Category 5 at 157 mph. Florence hit as a Category 1 with 90 mph winds — not a particularly blustery hurricane — but so far it has dumped nearly 3 feet of rain in parts of North Carolina and nearly 2 feet in sections of South Carolina. “There’s more to the story than the category,” University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy said. “While you may still have a roof on your house because ‘it’s only a Category 1,’ you may also be desperately hoping to get rescued from that same roof because of the flooding.” The Associated Press contributed to this story.

FLORENCE CLAIMS 33 LIVES A man peers from his flooded home in Lumberton, N.C., Sunday, Sept. 16, 2018, in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence.

GERRY BROOME | AP PHOTO

The North Carolina death toll from the storm rose to 26 fatalities this week, with seven in neighboring South Carolina. Those included a 1-year-old Union County boy who was swept away by floodwaters after his mother lost her grip on him. The Union County Sheriff’s Office says Kaiden Lee-Welch and his mother were on their way to visit relatives when she followed other cars past some barricades on N.C. Highway 218. Her car was swept off the road and pinned against a group of trees. She climbed out with the baby but lost her grip, and her son was swept away. Another death was three-month-old Kade Gill who died when a tree fell on his family’s mobile home in Dallas, N.C., which is about 240 miles west of where Hurricane Florence made landfall Friday in Wrightsville Beach.

CRESTING RIVERS As the sun started to emerge Tuesday, Gov. Roy Cooper warned North Carolinians that the danger had not passed. Flood warnings around the Haw, Little, Cape Fear and Neuse rivers kept central and eastern N.C. on high alert. The Cape Fear River crested to 62 feet Tuesday, 30 feet above flood stage. Evacuations were ordered for homes and businesses within one mile of the Cape Fear River’s banks. The N.C. DOT and Dept. of Emergency Management are urging people to stop driving through floodwater or around barriers, especially as the rivers in the state crest Tuesday through the weekend to, in the case of the Cape Fear River, 30 feet above flood stage. “Once these rivers crest and go away we can go in,” said N.C. Department of Transportation Secretary Steve Abbott. “There is a lot of damage on different roads, we know that parts of I-40, the shoulder and some of the lanes aren’t there anymore, they are washed away.”

N.C.’S ORIGINAL STATE CAPITAL, NEW BERN, NATIONAL FOCUS New Bern, N.C. led the early news as Florence came ashore with flood waters forcing the rescue of more than 300 people off rooftops. Authorities late Friday night worked to get to those caught by surprise in the rising waters. More than 4,300 homes in New Bern were inundated by flooding, or one-third of all homes in the city. North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and House Speaker Tim Moore traveled Monday to the city of 30,000 people to view the damage caused by Hurricane Florence. Torrential rains and storm surge going up the Neuse River left water marks on homes and businesses measured in feet, making North Carolina’s colonial-era capital one of the hardest-hit communities. The governor, a Democrat, and the Republican speaker also worked a line briefly in the Temple Baptist Church parking lot to hand out dinners, water and ice to grateful motorists who drove in for help. “I know for many people this feels like a nightmare that just won’t end. I know many people are tired of the present and are scared of the future,” Gov. Roy Cooper said. “But please know we will not give up on you.”

WILMINGTON

A MILITARY OPERATION

Stranded for four days by Florence’s epic floods, Wilmington residents lined up by the hundreds Tuesday for free food, water and tarps as officials struggled to open new routes to the state’s eighth largest city. Workers began handing out supplies using a system that resembled a fast-food restaurant drive-thru: Drivers pulled up to pallets lining a street, placed an order and left without having to get out. Some were there for tarps to cover gaping holes in their homes and businesses; others got a case of bottled water or military MREs, or field rations, all brought into the port city by a military convoy traversing a side road as miles of I-40 remain under floodwaters.

Fort Bragg became one of the largest staging areas for rescue and relief as Hurricane Florence pummeled eastern North Carolina. In addition, two U.S. Navy warships carrying helicopters and rescue equipment operated from a position off the East Coast. Hundreds of Marines and sailors as well as Osprey aircraft, helicopters, landing boats, ground vehicles and generators were deployed to assist in rescue efforts. “Our military out there is going above and beyond the call of duty… They are part of this incredible rescue effort, where 2600 people and 300 animals have been rescued across our state,” said Congressman Richard Hudson (NC-8) who spent the week traveling to hot spots to learn about the damage and rescue effort. “If anyone sees a first responder or a soldier out there, please thank them for what they’re doing.”

What if Hillary had won?

The election of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton triggered a massive sense of relief in the business sector and unleashed â&#x20AC;&#x153;the animal spiritsâ&#x20AC;? of entrepreneurs nationwide, as Adam Smith would have said.

WHERE WOULD WE BE TODAY? We would still be languishing in the throes of the economic malaise we endured for eight long years under President Barack Obama. The same policies that never produced more than 1.9% annual GDP growth for eight years from 2009-2017. The question for everyone as we head into the election season this fall is this: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Are you economically better off than you were two short years ago?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Had Hillary Clinton been elected President, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we would be today: â&#x20AC;˘ 1 million more people would be on Medicaid nationwide and 2 million more people would be collecting food stamps because they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a job. â&#x20AC;˘ Enrollment in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) would be 12 percent higher than the 2.3 million today. â&#x20AC;˘ Enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) would be far higher than 40.7 million reported in January 2018, the lowest since May 2010. â&#x20AC;˘ The number of people on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) would far higher than 8.6 million in March which was the lowest level reported since February 2012. â&#x20AC;˘ The Dow Jones Average would be 20,000 today, perhaps 21,000, not 26,062 as it closed Monday.

3.5 to possibly 4 percent real GDP growth rates we are now seeing. â&#x20AC;˘ Businesses would continue to suffocate under the staggering flood of never-ending new rules and regulations promulgated under President Obama. Hillary Clinton would have kept all of them in force and expanded them in number; under President Trump, thousands have been rescinded and new regs have been reduced to a dribble. The election of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton triggered a massive sense of relief in the business sector and unleashed â&#x20AC;&#x153;the animal spiritsâ&#x20AC;? of entrepreneurs nationwide, as Adam Smith would have said. The Council of Economic Advisers points towards the demarcation point as being Nov. 8, Election Night 2016. (see chart) Not one day before. IF such an explosion of confidence had happened during any of the eight long years that President Obama was setting policy for our nation, everyone would have known it, recognized it and applauded him for getting the job done. The explosion of confidence never happened under President Obama. It would not have happened under Hillary Clinton either because she vowed to continue and expand every one of President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misguided policies. This new-found confidence in the private sector is working. Friends, neighbors, family members and people everywhere are getting new higher-paying jobs instead of job rejection

letters. Millions more of our fellow citizens of all ages and races are working today and providing for their families. The national Democratic Party wants the public to believe that a sign of government policy success is how many people are on government assistance. They want more socialism which means more government control of your lives, not less. We believe the reverse is true. The more people are independent and off of government assistance because they have a good job, the better it is for them personally and for the nation as a whole. Think very carefully about yourself first and your personal economic interests, dreams and desires and those of your children and your friends when you vote this fall. Do you really want to give the keys of Congress back to the same Democratic leaders who supported every failed economic policy put forth by President Barack Obama? In 1999, Gallup found a vast majority of Americans thought President Bill Clinton was personally immoral, but they liked the fact they personally benefitted from the results of the economy that happened under his watch. You may personally dislike President Trump and the way he does things. But be wary of electing people to Congress and legislatures who want to reverse everything that has worked so far under his term.

COLUMN | VIJAY MENON

Americans agree with Geoffrey Owens: There is dignity in work

Given the link between work and human well-being, government programs that seemingly discourage work for able-bodied adults are counterproductive and wrong.

TO SOME IT MAY SEEM like a man-bitesdog story. Geoffrey Owens, a Hollywood actor famous for his role as Elvin Tibideaux on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cosby Show,â&#x20AC;? had been working at Trader Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for 15 months to provide for his family in between acting opportunities. When photographs of him working were published by media outlets, people from all walks of life defended Owens and denounced the coverage as â&#x20AC;&#x153;job shaming.â&#x20AC;? Yet in the wake of the scandal, a valuable conversation about work has emerged. Owens himself offered a passionate defense of honest work in a clip posted by Time on Twitter. In the clip, Owens said he hoped his experience would lead to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;new recognition â&#x20AC;Ś about work and about people working,â&#x20AC;? specifically â&#x20AC;&#x153;the dignity of work and the dignity of the working person.â&#x20AC;? He also noted that â&#x20AC;&#x153;one kind of work is not better, superior, than another kind of work.â&#x20AC;? Owens is spot-on, of course. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worthwhile to highlight something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often been overlooked in our national discussion: Owensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sentiments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the positive public response to them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; demonstrate broadly held American attitudes toward work. According to a 2016 Pew survey, most working adults felt that their job provided them a sense of identity, as opposed to just being what they

did for a living. Seventy percent of Americans in the 2016 General Social Survey agreed that they would enjoy having a paying job even if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the money. Moreover, Gallup polling shows that 92 percent of working adults were satisfied with their jobs in 2017 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; up from 87 percent when the question was first asked in 1993. These positive feelings toward work may come as no surprise to many. In fact, social scientists have long linked work to human happiness and well-being. For example, prominent social psychologist Jonathan Haidt posits in his book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Happiness Hypothesis,â&#x20AC;? that human happiness and well-being are fundamentally connected to work. According to Haidt, humans have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;basic drive to make things happen,â&#x20AC;? and most people fulfill this need through work. Alongside a couple of other factors, he argues, work provides a sense of meaning and purpose in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. And there is reason for optimism about work in our society today. Last month, the economy added 201,000 new jobs while the national unemployment rate continued near a generational low of 3.9 percent. Additionally, the August unemployment rates for African-Americans and Hispanics were the second- and third-lowest rates ever recorded, respectively, for each group.

This good economic news should be celebrated by all Americans. But there is still work to be done. A July report from the White House Council of Economic Advisers found that most ablebodied recipients of means-tested government assistance work few hours or not at all. In fact, the majority of work-capable Medicaid and food stamp recipients did not work any hours while receiving assistance in 2013. Of particular concern is the reportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conclusion that â&#x20AC;&#x153;a significant body of evidence generally suggests that welfare programs which do not require work reduce employment among adults.â&#x20AC;? Given the link between work and human well-being, government programs that seemingly discourage work for able-bodied adults are counterproductive and wrong. Rather, government programs should encourage those who are able to work to do so, because work would enhance their well-being and flourishing. Owens is right: There is dignity in honest work, whatever it may be. Social psychology and public opinion support this idea. Government programs should, too.

A cold wind off Lake Michigan — for Chicago and America COLUMN | WALTER E. WILLIAMS

Reasoning about race

Choosing requires nonchoosing. When you chose to read this column, you discriminated against other possible uses of your time.

SO MUCH of our reasoning about race is both emotional and faulty. In ordinary, as well as professional, conversation, we use terms such as discrimination, prejudice, racial preferences and racism interchangeably, as if they referred to the same behavior. We can avoid many pitfalls of misguided thinking about race by establishing operational definitions so as to not confuse one behavior with another. Discrimination can be operationally defined as an act of choice. Our entire lives are spent choosing to do or not to do thousands of activities. Choosing requires non-choosing. When you chose to read this column, you discriminated against other possible uses of your time. When you chose a spouse, you discriminated against other people. When I chose Mrs. Williams, I systematically discriminated against other women. Much of it was racial. Namely, I discriminated against white women, Asian women, fat women and women with criminal backgrounds. In a word, I didn’t offer every woman an equal opportunity, and they didn’t offer me an equal opportunity. One might be tempted to argue that racial discrimination in marriage is trivial and does not have important social consequences, but it does. When high-IQ and high-income people marry other high-IQ and high-income people, and to the extent there is a racial correlation between these characteristics, racial discrimination in mate selection enhances the inequality in the population’s intelligence and income distribution. There would be greater income equality if highIQ and high-income people married low-IQ and low-income people. But I imagine that most people would be horrified by the suggestion of a mandate to require the same. Prejudice is a perfectly useful term, but it is used improperly. Its Latin root is praejudicium — meaning prejudgment. Prejudice can be operationally defined as making decisions on the basis of incomplete information. Because the acquisition of information entails costs, we all seek to economize on information cost. Sometimes we use cheap-to-observe physical attributes as proxies for some other attribute costlier to observe. The cheaply observed fact that a person is a male or female can serve as

a proxy for an unobserved attribute such as strength, aggressiveness or speed in running. In the late 1990s, a black taxi commissioner in Washington, D.C., warned cabbies against going into low-income black neighborhoods and picking up “dangerous-looking” passengers whom she described as young black males dressed a certain way. Some pizza deliverers in St. Louis who were black complained about delivering pizzas to black neighborhoods for fear of being assaulted or robbed. In 1993, the Rev. Jesse Jackson was reported as saying that he is relieved when he learns that youthful footsteps walking behind him at night are white and not black. Here’s the question: Does the wariness of Washington’s predominantly black cabbies to pick up “dangerous-looking” black males or black pizza deliverers’ not wanting to deliver to some black neighborhoods or Jackson’s feeling a sense of relief when the youthful footsteps behind him are those of white youngsters instead of black say anything unambiguous about whether cabbies, pizza deliverers and Jackson like or dislike blacks? It’s a vital and often overlooked point — namely, that watching a person’s prejudicial (prejudging) behavior alone can tell us nothing unambiguous about that person’s racial tastes or preferences. Consider policing. Suppose a chief of police is trying to capture culprits who break in to autos to steal electronic equipment. Suppose further that you see him focusing most of his investigative resources on young males between the ages of 15 and 25. He spends none of his investigative resources on females of any age and very few on men who are 40 or older. By watching his “profiling” behavior — prejudging behavior — would you conclude that he likes females and older males and dislikes males between the ages of 15 and 25? I think that it would take outright idiocy to reach such a conclusion. The police chief is simply playing the odds based on the evidence he has gathered through experience that breaking in to autos tends to be a young man’s fancy. Walter E.

“SCENE AT THE SIGNING OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES” BY HOWARD CHANDLER CHRISTY

231 Years ago, the Constitution was signed.

On Sept. 17, 1787 — 231 years ago this week — 39 men signed the U.S. Constitution. Among the best known are the then-elder statesman of the group, Benjamin Franklin; the first president of the United States, George Washington; and the first treasury secretary, Alexander Hamilton. It was signed 11 years after the issuance of the young nation’s founding document, the Declaration of Independence. However, the author of that document, Thomas Jefferson, was not present at the signing of the Constitution. At the time, he was serving as the U.S. ambassador to France. The Declaration outlined the ideals of the new nation and famously stated that we are all created equal with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Constitution focused more on how to create a government that might defend the unalienable rights. James

Madison played a key role in drafting the latter document, which established an elaborate system of checks and balances based upon a separation of powers. Dr. Larry Arnn, president of Hillsdale College, has shown the strong correlation between the two documents. His book “The Founders’ Key: The Divine and Natural Connection Between the Declaration and the Constitution and What We Risk by Losing It” argues that the provisions of the Constitution strongly mirrored the concerns and ideals expressed in the Declaration. Scott Rasmussen’s Number of the Day explores interesting and newsworthy topics at the intersection of culture, politics, and technology and is published by Ballotpedia, the nonprofit, nonpartisan Encyclopedia of American Politics.

“IT’S THE LORD OF THE FLIES on LaSalle Street,” wrote columnist John Kass in the Chicago Tribune. In case the references are unclear, whether because high schools haven’t been assigning the William Golding novel in the last few decades or because out-of-towners unaccountably don’t realize that Chicago’s City Hall front is on LaSalle Street, the curmudgeonly Kass was writing about Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s announcement that he won’t run for a third term as mayor next February. Should readers from outside Chicagoland care? Yes, because Emanuel’s surprise exit is a sign of the unworkability of policies that will go national if Resistance Democrats oust Donald Trump, and indeed of some policies embraced by Trump as well. Emanuel will be leaving office as a frustrated and unsuccessful mayor, even though he is one of the great political talents of his generation. Former Clinton fundraiser and White House staffer, Chicago congressman and chairman of House Democrats’ campaign committee when they overturned a Republican majority in 2006: He’s done it all. He gave up a House leadership post to be Barack Obama’s first White House chief of staff; he gave that up to run for mayor — the job that every traditional Chicago politician considers far more important than anything “out of town” (said with a derisive curl of lip). Emanuel’s decision — and his robust victory margin — suggested that he intended to stay at 121 North LaSalle St. about as long as the 20-plus years of the ally he replaced, Richard M. Daley, and Daley’s father before him. Instead he’ll serve just eight.

Emanuel will be leaving office as a frustrated and unsuccessful mayor, even though he is one of the great political talents of his generation.

Emanuel inherited a city whose electorate was divided roughly equally between blacks on the South and West Sides, Hispanics on the West and Northwest Sides, and gentry liberals running ever farther inland from the lakefront. It had a great economic heritage and enjoyed robust growth in the 1990s. It has been downhill since. Chicago and Illinois have been hobbled by metastasizing pension obligations, frozen in place by state courts and state House speaker (for all but two years since 1982!) Michael Madigan. Taxes have been rising: Shoppers on North Michigan Avenue pay the nation’s highest taxes. Chicagoans have been voting with their feet. Metro Chicago has by far the highest percentage of domestic out-migration of any major metropolitan area, and net outflow this decade is 5 percent of its 2010 population. In particular, blacks have been leaving metro Chicago for Atlanta and other points south. Emanuel’s electoral base has been lakefront liberals plus a plurality of whichever minority group hasn’t produced his main opponent. That was blacks in 2015, but his standing with black voters has been hurt by his concealment during electoral season of the videotape of a police shooting of a young black man. At the same time, Emanuel acquiesced in Obama administration oversight of the city’s police department. And police officers’ retreat from proactive policing has led to enormous increases in shootings and homicides. I happened to be in Chicago in the early weeks of December 2008 and saw the celebratory air of a city festooned with posters hailing the new president — the first president Chicago ever produced. But after leaving office in January 2017, Obama has not moved back to Chicago and recently only visited briefly. Hope and change is not in the air. Chicago is one of the great creations of mankind: a frontier post in 1833 that was one of the world’s great cities just 60 years later, showing off in the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 its new lakefront parks, its new electric light systems, its sanitary canal channeling wastewater away from Lake Michigan, its pioneering skyscrapers and enormous stockyards and factories. Now the economic foundations of the metropolis are being drained and undermined to provide the generous pensions of long-retired public employees, many of them now in income-tax-free Florida, while public schools are closed, services reduced, police patrols pulled back. That looks like a future of decline for Chicago, and maybe for America, too. Democrats have shown zero interest in reducing the entitlements of retirees, not since President Bill Clinton broke off negotiations with House Speaker Newt Gingrich amid the impeachment crisis of 1998. Ditto Donald Trump, and no Republican seems to be raising the issue, as President George W. Bush did in 2005. It’s not a good sign — like a cold wind coming off Lake Michigan — that even as shrewd and wellconnected a politician as Rahm Emanuel doesn’t see a viable way forward.

Eighteen North Carolina counties have qualified for federal disaster aid for their homeowners, renters and businesses reeling from Hurricane Florence damage. The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced that these counties have been designated for individual assistance, including grants or lowinterest loans. The designation also means that the federal government can reimburse state and local governments for debris removal and other emergency actions. According to FEMA, to be eligible for federal disaster aid, storm damage and losses from the hurricane and flooding must have occurred as a result of Hurricane Florence, beginning Sept. 7. If you have a homeowner’s or flood insurance policy, file your insurance claim immediately before applying for disaster assistance. Get the process started quickly - the faster you file, the faster your recovery can begin. If you cannot return to your home, or you are unable to live in your home, visit DisasterAssistance.gov, or call 800-621-3362 to determine if state, voluntary or local organizations are in your community to address your immediate needs.

Four arrested for break-ins during hurricane

ONSLOW COUNTY — Senate Majority Leader Harry Brown (R-Onslow) said Saturday that Florence was one the worst storm he’s seen after living in Jacksonville all his life, reporting trees down and evidence of tornadoes after Hurricane Florence passed through Onslow County. “I’ve got a tree on my house and I have a bay window that’s pouring water,” said Brown on Saturday, the morning after Florence made landfall. While federal funding to help N.C.’s recovery is in the works, Brown said he anticipates that the General Assembly could have to convene to make more money available for recovery efforts from Hurricane Florence. “We’ve got about $2 billion in our state rainy day fund, and it’s a good thing because there is going to be help needed across eastern North Carolina after this storm,” said Brown. “I know the governor has discretion to move some money around, but I would be surprised if it’s enough, and I feel certain

we will have to call a special session to allocate some of those dollars that are in the rainy day fund,” he added. Rebuilding the state’s rainy day fund has been a focus of the state legislature in recent years, bringing its total to $2 billion last year’s budget, more than the amount socked away by Virginia and South Carolina. The rainy day build-up was criticized by some during the last few budget seasons, as some urged lawmakers to spend more on state employee salaries and other items. This week, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have rolled up their sleeves to help in their communities in any way they can. Gov. Roy Cooper and House Speaker Tim Moore served meals together briefly in the parking lot of the Temple Baptist Church in New Bern. “It’s pretty bad in Onslow and Jones counties,” said Brown in an interview just after Florence made landfall. “In Jacksonville some stayed some didn’t. Those of us who’ve live here all our lives, most of us probably stayed; but I’m not sure I’ll do that next time.”

WILMINGTON — On Monday, Department of Environmental Quality Secretary Michael Regan said that the dam at a hog lagoon in Duplin County had been breached.

Regan said state investigators will visit the sites as conditions allow. The North Carolina Pork Council says inspections show the Duplin County farm with a breach found that solids had “remained at the bottom of the lagoon.” They also report that four lagoons have been inundated with floodwater, seven appearing to have overtopped due to rainfall. “We do not believe, based on on-farm assessments to date and industrywide surveying, that

there are widespread impacts to the more than 2,100 farms with more than 3,000 anaerobic treatment lagoons in the state,” the NCPC said in a statement. During Hurricane Matthew, one farm experienced a partial lagoon breach. During Hurricane Floyd, six lagoons were breached. On Sunday, The Associated Press published photos of a farm outside Trenton, N.C., claiming it showed a hog waste pit completely submerged under floodwaters. The NCPC later criticized the image and report, saying that the images were incorrectly identified. “In previous years, we have seen photos of municipal waste plants, poultry houses and other agricultural facilities inaccurately labeled as pig farms... We urge caution, especially in a breaking news environment where initial information is often inaccurate,” NCPC said.

FLOODED RIVERS from Florence’s driving rains have begun to swamp coal ash dumps and low-lying hog farms, raising pollution concerns as the swollen waterways approach their crests Monday. Duke Energy said the weekend collapse of a coal ash landfill at the mothballed L.V. Sutton Power Station near Wilmington, North Carolina, is an “on-going situation,” with an unknown amount of potentially contaminated storm water flowing into a nearby lake. At a different power plant near Goldsboro, three old coal ash dumps capped with soil were inundated by the Neuse River. An Associated Press photographer who flew over eastern North Carolina’s Trent River on Sunday saw several flooded hog farms among the rural devastation along the waterways in towns like Kinston, Trenton and Bethel. Such farms typically have large waste lagoons that can cause significant water contamination if breached. However, state regulators said they hadn’t received any reports of spills so far. Federal forecasters predicted several rivers would crest at record or near-record levels by Monday, and high water could linger for days. Officials with the N.C. Pork Council, an industry trade group, said farmers had prepared for the storm by lowering water levels in waste ponds and moving animals to higher ground. In anticipation of the storm, the group offered online resourc-

es and preparedness guidance for farmers and communities, many of which are still recovering from 2016’s Hurricane Matthew. While there was some hog lagoon flooding during that storm, the Pork Council notes that the industry has a better track record than many of the municipal waste systems that have failed in recent natural disasters. At the Sutton power plant, Duke spokeswoman Paige Sheehan said Sunday that a full assessment of how much ash escaped from the water-slogged landfill can’t occur until the rain stops. She said there was no indication that contaminants from Sutton Lake had drained into the nearby Cape Fear River. “We think the majority of the ash is settling out before it gets to the lake,” Sheehan said. “We believe the chances are minimal that coal ash constituents will make it to the Cape Fear.” The company initially estimated Saturday that about 2,000 cubic yards of ash were displaced at the landfill, enough to fill about 180 dump trucks. Sheehan said Sunday that estimate could be revised after further scrutiny. The coal-fired Sutton plant was retired in 2013 and the company has been excavating millions of tons of ash from old waste pits and removing it to safer lined landfills constructed on the property. The gray ash left behind when coal is burned contains toxic heavy metals, including arsenic, lead and mercury. State environmental regulators said they had been unable to inspect the site of the landfill collapse because of flooded roadways in and around Wilmington. “There was a failure in the lined landfill” with material moving toward Sutton Lake, said Michael Regan, secretary of the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality. “And so it’s imperative that we get our folks on the ground to do some water testing.” Sheehan said Sunday that

“There was a failure in the lined [coal ash] landfill, so it’s imperative that we get our folks on the ground to do some water testing.” Michael Regan, secretary of the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality three inactive ash basins at the H.F. Lee Power Station near Goldsboro were under water. The old waste pits are capped with soil and vegetation to deter erosion. During Hurricane Matthew in 2016, floodwaters eroded part of the cap, exposing a small amount of ash that may have flowed into the Neuse River. The Neuse is expected to crest at more than nine feet above flood stage Monday. At the W. H. Weatherspoon Power Station near Lumberton, flooding from a nearby swamp was flowing into the plant’s cooling pond. The Lumber River crested at more than 12 feet above flood stage late Sunday, putting floodwaters near the top of the earthen dike containing the plant’s coal ash dump. Critics of Duke’s coal ash ponds have argued that the ponds were vulnerable to severe storms and could pose a threat to drinking water supplies and public safety. “Disposing of coal ash close to waterways is hazardous, and Duke Energy compounds the problem by leaving most of its ash in primitive unlined pits filled with water,” said Frank Holleman, a senior attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center. Associated Press writers Michael Biesecker and Gary D. Robertson contributed to this report.

As always, North Carolina public power crews, along with mutual aid partners from around the country, continue to work around the clock to restore power to our communities. Now that the storm has dissipated, we know that as of Sunday, approximately 22,000 public power customers were without power, down from a peak of 70,000 outages on Saturday morning. Although all power has not been restored to our customers, tremendous progress has been made in extremely challenging conditions. And we want to let our customers know how much we sincerely appreciate their patience. We also want to say a heartfelt ‘Thank You’ to our lineworkers – our hometown heroes – for their steadfast commitment and unending dedication to the people and businesses we serve. As you work hard to turn the lights back on across our state, you are demonstrating every day the extraordinary value of public power.

Florence likely to expose gaps in flood insurance Natural disasters serve as cautionary tales for homeowners, as only 35 percent of at-risk N.C. properties carry flood insurance By Ken Sweet and Megan Hoyer The Associated Press NEW YORK — The number of Americans with flood insurance is on the rise, yet Hurricane Florence is likely to make it painfully clear that too many homeowners in the Carolinas and other vulnerable regions remain unprotected. An analysis of federal flood insurance records by The Associated Press found there were roughly 5.1 million active flood insurance policies in the U.S. as of July 31, up from 4.94 million a year earlier. The Carolinas had modest gains — a 2.5 percent increase in South Carolina and a 3.5 percent increase in North Carolina. But large gaps in coverage remain. South Carolina is the second-highest insured state for flooding, with roughly 65 percent of properties in flood hazard areas insured. But in North Carolina, where forecasters say the storm might bring the most destructive round of flooding in state history, flood coverage is less common, with only 35 percent of atrisk properties insured. After blowing ashore as a hurricane with 90 mph winds, Florence virtually parked itself much of the weekend atop the Carolinas as it pulled warm water from the ocean and hurled it onshore. Storm surges, flash floods and winds scattered destruction widely. Most of the gains observed in the federal flood insurance data over the past 12 months occurred in Texas, with about 145,000 new policies. Insurance experts say that Hurricane Harvey, which brought tremendous flood damage to Texas and Louisiana late last summer, helped increase public awareness that homeowners need flood insurance. “That’s terrific. Nothing sells flood insurance like a storm,” said Robert Hunter, who ran the National Flood Insurance Program in

Rescue personnel use a small boat as they go house to house checking for flood victims from tropical storm Florence in New Bern, NC., Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018. the 1970s. Still, federal officials say there are too many Americans in vulnerable areas who lack flood insurance — even after storms such as Sandy, Matthew and Harvey caused widespread property damage and financial losses with storm surge and rainfall. A look at the five-year and 10-year trends shows a decline in the number of flood insurance policies nationwide. Property insurance typically doesn’t cover flooding, and flood insurance remains by and large a federal government program run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA. FEMA requires most homeowners with mortgages living in certain designated areas to buy flood insurance. But there are numerous neighborhoods across the

U.S. that are vulnerable to flooding but where insurance isn’t mandatory and many residents choose not to enroll — sometimes with dire consequences. In the five years before Hurricane Harvey walloped Houston last year, for instance, the number of homes covered in the city dropped 11 percent. The monster storm ended up flooding more than 150,000 homes in the area, leaving many people digging into their savings to repair their houses. Data show that even with the increase in flood insurance coverage over the past year, the number of homes covered is down 3 percent in North Carolina and 6 percent South Carolina compared with five years ago. Researchers and insurance experts say many Americans choose

not to get flood insurance because of a belief that flooding will not happen to them, or if it does, federal disaster assistance cover their losses. But federal disaster relief typically consists of low-interest loans — money that must be repaid. The maximum amount of disaster assistance available to an individual or household is $34,000, which is typically not enough to cover repairs caused by flooding. The average damage caused by flooding during Harvey was around $80,000, according to the Texas Department of Insurance. “We have been working for the last couple years to close the insurance gap, but still not near enough people have necessary coverage. We still have a lot of work to do,” said David Maursted, the current director of the government’s flood insurance program, in a conference call with reporters on Thursday. Because Hurricane Florence hit the Carolina coast as a less powerful Category 1 storm, damages are expected to be less severe than originally estimated. Property data company CoreLogic estimates the storm surge and wind from Florence will cause roughly $3 billion to $5 billion in damages. But the potential property damage in the Carolinas could once again strain the financial health of the nation’s flood insurance program. Starting with Katrina in 2005, a series of catastrophic storms have forced the program to pay out billions of dollars more in claims than it receives in premiums. Last year, the damages from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma caused the program to reach its $30.5 billion statutory limit on borrowing. In renewing the flood insurance program’s mandate last year, Congress forgave roughly $16 billion in the program’s debt. But the program is still roughly $20.5 billion in the red, according to FEMA. Maursted said NFIP insurance companies are already deploying claims agents and adjusters to the area and they do not expect any delays in processing claims. Policyholders who have flood insurance should file a claim with their insurance company as soon as they feel it’s safe enough to do so.

By Chuck Burton and Martha Wagoner The Associated Press WILMINGTON, N.C. — Throwing a lifeline to a city surrounded by floodwaters, emergency crews delivered food and water to Wilmington on Monday as rescuers picked up more people stranded by Hurricane Florence and the storm’s remnants took aim at the densely populated Northeast. The death toll from Florence rose to at least 32, and crews elsewhere used helicopters and boats to rescue people trapped by still-rising rivers. “Thank you,” a frazzled, shirtless Willie Schubert mouthed to members of a Coast Guard helicopter crew who plucked him and his dog Lucky from atop a house encircled by water in Pollocksville. It was not clear how long he had been stranded. A day earlier, Wilmington’s entire population of 120,000 people was cut off by flooding. By midday Monday, authorities reopened a single unidentified road into the town, which stands on a peninsula. But it wasn’t clear if that the route would remain open as the Cape Fear River kept swelling. And officials did not say when other roads might be clear. In some places, the rain finally stopped, and the sun peeked through, but North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper warned that dangerously high water would persist for days. He urged residents who were evacuated from the hardest-hit areas to stay away because of closed roads and catastrophic flooding that submerged entire communities. “There’s too much going on,” he told a news conference.

Crews have conducted about 700 rescues in New Hanover County, where more than 60 percent of homes and businesses were without power, authorities said. Compounding problems, downed

power lines and broken trees crisscrossed many roads in Wilmington three days after Florence made landfall. The smell of broken pine trees wafted through damaged neighborhoods. Preliminary statistics from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed Florence had the fourth-highest rainfall total of any hurricane to hit the U.S. mainland since 1950, with 35.94 inches at Elizabethtown, North Carolina. Harvey’s total of 60.58 inches last year in Texas is No. 1. The death toll climbed to 32, with 25 fatalities in North Carolina, as authorities found the body of a 1-year-old boy who was swept away after his mother drove into floodwaters and lost her grip on

him while trying to get back to dry land. Elsewhere in North Carolina, an 88-year-old man died after his car was swept away. Fears of what could be the worst flooding in the state’s history led officials to order tens of thousands to evacuate, though it was not clear how many had fled or even could. Emergency officials had difficulty keeping up with the scope of the spreading disaster. In Lumberton, where the Lumber River inundated homes, Fire Chief John Paul Ivey couldn’t even count how many calls authorities had received about people needing to be rescued. “We’ve been going so hard and fast we don’t have a number yet,” he said.

KAVANAUGH from page A1 Palo Alto, California where Ford is a professor, the group By Any Means Necessary demonstrated in support of Ford. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle say they want to examine the whole story in a hearing. “If ranking member Feinstein and other committee Democrats took this claim seriously, they should have brought it to the full committee’s attention much earlier,” the committee statement reads. “Instead, they said nothing during two joint phone calls with the nominee in August, four days of lengthy public hearings, a closed session for all committee members with the nominee where sensitive topics can be discussed and in more than 1,300 written questions.” Kavanaugh was seen arriving at the White House Monday while all 10 Democrats on the Senate Judi-

ciary Committee wrote the panel’s Republican chairman asking him to postpone a scheduled Thursday vote on the nominee to give the FBI more time to investigate. Democrats and some Republican senators have expressed concern over Christine Blasey Ford’s private-turned-public accusation that a drunken Kavanaugh groped her and tried to take off her clothes at a party when both were teenagers at high schools in suburban Maryland. Kavanaugh released a new statement calling the allegation “completely false” and saying he “had no idea who was making this accusation until she identified herself” on Sunday to The Washington Post. “I am willing to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee in any way the committee deems appropriate to refute this false allegation, from 36 years ago, and defend my integrity,” Kavanaugh

Korean leaders meet in Pyongyang for potentially tough talks By Eric Talmadge and Hyung-Jin Kim The Associated Press PYONGYANG, North Korea — South Korean President Moon Jaein began his third summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday with possibly his hardest mission to date — brokering some kind of compromise to keep North Korea’s talks with Washington from imploding and pushing ahead with his own plans to expand economic cooperation and bring a stable peace to the Korean Peninsula. Kim gave the South Korean president an exceedingly warm welcome, meeting him and his wife at Pyongyang’s airport — itself a very unusual gesture — then riding into town with Moon in an open limousine through streets lined with crowds of North Koreans, who cheered and waved the flag of their country and a blue-and-white flag that symbolizes Korean unity. The made-for-television welcome is par for the course for Moon’s summits with Kim. Hours after his arrival, Moon began an official summit with Kim at the ruling Workers’ Party headquarters. The two were joined by two of their top deputies — spy chief Suh Hoon and presidential security director Chung Eui-yong for Moon, and Kim Jong Un’s powerful sister, Kim Yo Jong, and senior Workers’ Party official Kim Yong Chol for the North Korean leader, according to Moon’s office. At the start of their meeting, Kim thanked Moon for brokering a June summit with U.S. President Donald Trump. “It’s not too much to say that it’s Moon’s efforts that arranged a historic North Korea-U.S. summit. Because of that, the regional political situation has been stabilized and more progress on North Korea-U.S.

“If ranking member Feinstein and other committee Democrats took this claim seriously, they should have brought it to the full committee’s attention much earlier.” Committee statement

said. The Judiciary Democrats, in their letter to Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), said serious questions have been raised about Kavanaugh’s “record, truthfulness and character.” Currently a judge on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, widely viewed as the na-

ties is expected,” Kim said, according to South Korean media pool reports and Moon’s office. Moon responded by expressing his own thanks to Kim for making a “bold decision” in a New Year’s speech to open a new era of detente and send a delegation to the South Korean Winter Olympics in February. Even though tens of thousands of people had witnessed Moon’s drive into the city with their leader, the arrival was not broadcast or even mentioned on the evening and night news on North Korea’s central television network. The North often holds off reporting stories until it has had time to review and edit the video for maximum propaganda impact. The results of the talks weren’t immediately available. Seoul officials earlier said they would focus on how to achieve denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, decrease military tensions along their border and improve overall ties. The North’s media said the talks would reaffirm their commitment to Korean peace, unity and prosperity. During a conversation at the Paekhwawon guest house where Moon was to stay, Kim said North Koreans hope diplomacy will yield positive results. “I think it was our people’s wish that we come up with good results as fast as we can,” Kim said, according to the media pool reports. Moon responded that “Our hearts are fluttering, but at the same we have heavy hearts,” and added, “We have built trust and friendship between us, so I think all will be well.” The two are to meet again on Wednesday. Before leaving Seoul, Moon vowed to push for “irreversible, permanent peace” and for better dialogue between Pyongyang and Washington.

tion’s second most powerful court, Kavanaugh, 53, seemed to be on a smooth confirmation track until the new allegation emerged. White House adviser Kellyanne Conway said she had discussed the situation with Trump, and that Ford and Kavanaugh should testify, but made clear it was up to the Judiciary Committee and that the White House will “respect the process.” “I think you have to weigh this testimonial evidence from Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh along with the considerable body of evidence that is already there about the judge’s temperament and qualifications and character,” said Conway. Ford said Kavanaugh and a friend — both “stumbling drunk,” she says — corralled her in a bedroom at a Maryland party in the early 1980s when she was around 15 and Kavanaugh was around 17. She says Kavanaugh groped her

While signaling his willingness to talk with Washington, Kim’s strategy has been to try to elbow the U.S. away from Seoul so that the two Koreas can take the lead in deciding how to bring peace and stability to their peninsula. North Korea maintains that it has developed its nuclear weapons to the point that it can now defend itself against a potential U.S. attack, and can now shift its focus to economic development and improved ties with the South. Rarely do the North Korean official media even mention the word denuclearization. Talks between the United States and North Korea have stalled since Kim’s meeting with Trump in Singapore in June. North Korea has taken some steps, like dismantling its nuclear and rocket-engine testing sites, but U.S. officials have said it must take more serious disarmament steps before receiving outside concessions. Trump has indicated he may be open to holding another summit to resuscitate the talks, however. For Kim, the timing of this week’s summit is good. North Korea just completed an elaborate celebration replete with a military parade and huge rallies across the country to mark its 70th anniversary. China, signaling its support for Kim’s recent diplomatic moves, sent its third-highest party official to those festivities. That’s important because China is the North’s biggest economic partner and is an important political counterbalance to the United States. To keep expectations from getting too high, Moon’s chief of staff, Im Jong-seok, said it’s “difficult to have any optimistic outlook” for progress on denuclearization during the summit. But he said he still expects the summit to produce meaningful agreements. Some progress along those lines is already underway. South Korea last week opened a liaison office in the North’s city of Kaesong, near the Demilitarized Zone. Another possible area of agreement could be on a formal statement on ending the Korean War, which was halted in 1953 by what was intended to be a temporary armistice. Military officials have discussed possibly disarming a jointly controlled area at the Koreas’ shared border village, removing front-line guard posts and halting hostile acts along their sea boundary.

over her clothes, grinded his body against hers and tried to take off her one-piece swimsuit and the outfit she wore over it. Kavanaugh covered her mouth with his hand when she tried to scream, she says, and she escaped when the friend, Mark Judge, jumped on them. Judge has flatly denied the incident happened and told The Weekly Standard, “It’s just absolutely nuts. I never saw Brett act that way.” On Sunday, the Post published an interview with Ford. “I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” said Ford, 51, a clinical psychology professor at Palo Alto University in California. “He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.” According to an archive of her LinkedIn profile, Ford graduated from the University of North Carolina and earned her doctorate in educational psychology at the University of Southern California.

Trump declassifies Russia probe papers Trump made the move Monday amid calls from allies in Congress who say the Russia investigation is tainted by anti-Trump bias By Chad Day The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump declassified a trove of documents related to the early days of the FBI’s Russia investigation, including a portion of a secret surveillance warrant application and former FBI Director James Comey’s text messages. Trump’s decision will result in the release of text messages and documents involving several top Justice Department and FBI officials who Trump has repeatedly attacked over the last year. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced Trump’s decision in a written statement, saying the president had directed the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Justice Department to declassify the documents “at the request of a number of committees of Congress, and for reasons of transparency.” It was unclear how soon the documents would be released. In statements Monday evening, the Justice Department and the office of director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said they are working together to comply with Trump’s order, which triggers a declassification review by various agencies “to seek to ensure the safety of America’s national security interests.” That review is ongoing. According to the statement, Trump declassified 21 pages of the 101-page June 2017 application to renew a warrant obtained under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, to monitor the communications of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in 2016. Those pages only make up a

Hope fades in Philippines for dozens buried in landslides Itogon, Philippines Dozens of people believed buried in a landslide unleashed by Typhoon Mangkhut in the Philippines probably did not survive, a mayor said Monday, although rescuers kept digging through mud and debris covering a chapel where they had taken shelter. Of the 40 to 50 miners and their families believed inside the chapel, there is a “99 percent” chance that they all were killed, said Mayor Victorio Palangdan of Itogon, the town among the hardest hit by a typhoon that struck Saturday. Palangdan said rescuers have recovered 11 bodies from the muddy avalanche.

The June 2017 application was the last of four filed by the Justice Department in support of FISA court orders allowing the monitoring of Page. His communications were monitored for nearly a year starting in October 2016. According to the redacted version, three of the declassified pages involve information included in a section titled “The Russian Government’s Coordinated Efforts to Influence the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.” That section includes reference to potential coordination between people associated with Trump’s campaign and the Russian election interference effort. The other 18 pages appear to relate to information the government submitted that came from ex-British spy Christopher Steele before the presidential election. Steele was a longtime FBI informant whose

Democratic-funded research into Trump ties to Russia was compiled into a dossier that has become a partisan lightning rod since its publication in January 2017. Besides the FISA applications pages, the president is declassifying all FBI reports documenting interviews in connection with the Page surveillance warrant and those documenting interviews with senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, who was in contact with Steele. According to Sanders’ statement, Trump also directed the Justice Department to publicly release in full the text messages of Comey, Ohr, former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page and former FBI special agent Peter Strzok that are related to the Russia investigation. “Transparency wins. This is absolutely the right call from @POTUS,” tweeted Rep. Mark Meadows, a Republican who represent District 11 in North Carolina. Meadows, who had pushed for

the documents’ release, said it will allow the American people to decide “what happened at the highest levels of their FBI and Justice Department.” And the No. 3 Republican in the House, Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, tweeted that Trump made the right call. “Americans deserve the truth about these egregious actions by government officials,” Scalise said. But Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee, called Trump’s decision a “clear abuse of power” intended to advance a “false narrative” to help in his defense from Mueller’s probe. Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland and Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York, the ranking Democrats on the House Oversight and Judiciary committees, said in a statement that Trump’s actions were a “direct and frantic response” to Manafort’s recent guilty plea and cooperation agreement with Mueller.

Needle-in-strawberry scare spreads across Australia Aussie farmers to use metal detectors after needles reported in strawberries in all six states By Rod McGuirk The Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia — Public fears about sewing needles concealed inside strawberries on supermarket shelves have spread across Australia and New Zealand as growers turn to metal detectors and the Australian government launches an investigation to restore public confidence in the popular fruit. The government of Queensland state, where the contamination scare started last week, offered a 100,000 Australian dollar ($72,000) reward for information leading to the arrest of the person

responsible for inserting needles into strawberries after six brands were recalled. The scare has spread across the nation, with needles reported found in strawberries in all six Australian states. No injuries have been reported. Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt ordered the national food safety watchdog to investigate Queensland’s handling of the needle scare. He directed Food Standards Australia New Zealand to investigate whether there are supply chain weaknesses that need to be fixed. “The job is very, very clear. Protect the public and keep them safe,” Hunt told Australian Broadcasting Corp. Both of New Zealand’s major food distributors announced on Monday they are taking Australian strawberries off their shelves because of the scare.

Queensland Strawberry Growers Association vice president Adrian Schultz said what had started as a single act of “commercial terrorism” had brought a multimillion-dollar industry to its knees. “I’m angry for all the associated people, it’s the farmers, the people who supply them, the packaging people, the truckies with families to support, who suddenly lose their jobs ... it’s far-reaching,” Schultz said. Major Australian supermarket chains Coles and Aldi have pulled all strawberries from their shelves across Australia except in Western Australia state as a precaution. But Western Australia police announced Monday that the first suspected needle contamination case has been reported in locally grown fruit. A man in the town of York reported to police that he found a needle in a sink after washing

strawberries. The report came after a 7-yearold girl in South Australia state found a needle in a Western Australia-grown strawberry on Saturday. Western Australia Health Minister Roger Cook said the needle could have been inserted in the fruit after it arrived in South Australia. Strawberry Growers Association of Western Australia president Neil Handasyde said growers had received requests from major retailers and insurance companies to scan fruit for needles. “As an industry we are sure that (the needles) are not coming from the farm, but we’re trying to get confidence into consumers that when they buy ... strawberries, that there isn’t going to be anything other than strawberries in there and they’re safe to eat,” Handasyde told ABC. “Industry are looking at lots of different ways of tackling this issue. There’s been metal detectors purchased and tamper-proof packaging looked at,” he said. Handasyde said he paid AU$20,000 for a metal detector for his berry farm.

Report: Machines to handle over half workplace tasks by 2025 Geneva More than half of all workplace tasks will be carried out by machines by 2025, organizers of the Davos economic forum said in a report released this week. The World Economic Forum estimates that machines will be responsible for 52 percent of the division of labor as share of hours within seven years, up from just 29 percent today. By 2022, the report says, roughly 75 million jobs worldwide will be lost, but that could be more than offset by the creation of 133 million new jobs. A major challenge, however, will be training and retraining employees for that new world of work. The “Future of Jobs 2018” report is based on a survey of executives representing 15 million employees in 20 economies.

entertainment Emmy Awards feature comedy, marriage proposal By Jocelyn Noveck The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — “The Proposal.” It was a 2009 movie starring Sandra Bullock but now will forever be the informal title of the 2018 Emmys telecast thanks to a memorable romantic gesture from Emmy-winning director Glenn Weiss — who summoned the courage to propose to his girlfriend on live TV. She said yes — thank the Lord. The stars in the audience responded with gasps (we saw you, Leslie Jones) and even tears (we saw you too, Queen Elizabeth — er, Claire Foy.) That feel-good moment — along with crowd-pleasing speeches by Henry Winkler and Betty White — lightened the mood of an evening that otherwise had a lackluster feel, and disappointed many with the lack of ethnic diversity among its winners. Some moments we’ll be talking about: Diversity The Emmys began with a happy announcement — this was the most ethnically diverse group of Emmy nominees yet — and a cheeky musical nod to the diversity issue in Hollywood, a song aptly called “We Solved It!” Kenan Thompson, Kate McKinnon, Sterling K. Brown, Tituss Burgess and Ricky Martin, among others, sang — tongue firmly in cheek — about how far things had progressed, joined by a company of “One of Each” dancers. But they could not have known how the evening itself would progress — award after award would go to a white winner. Presenter James Corden finally said what everyone was thinking. “Let’s get it trending: #EmmysSoWhite,” he quipped, a double reference to both Betty White, who preceded him, and the prevailing color of the evening. The string was finally broken about halfway through when Regina King was awarded best actress in a limited series or movie for “Seven Seconds.” Politics After the opening musical number, co-hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost took the stage and kicked off the show with political jokes and jabs which are now customary during primetime awards shows. One of Che’s comments drew the ire of viewers and social media. Che, chatting with his fellow “Saturday Night Live” star and cohost Jost, said his mother would not be watching the show. “My mother is not watching,” Che said. “She says she doesn’t like watching white award shows because you guys don’t thank Jesus enough.” Continuing, he said, “That’s true. The only white people that thank Jesus are Republicans and ex-crackheads.”

wonder why I don’t want to call you my girlfriend?” he asked Svendsen. “It’s because I want to call you my wife.” A stunned Svendsen made her way to the stage, where Weiss sank to his knee and presented her with the same ring his father gave his mother 67 years ago. Then, he asked. The answer was yes. PHEW. Jost cracked later that there were “so many guys with rings who didn’t win tonight.” And Emmy winner John Oliver thanked Svendsen for saying yes. “This could’ve been a very different evening,” he noted.

Viewers on both sides of the aisle took to Twitter to complain. One Twitter user, Mary Beth Coudalsaid, “Michael Che - do not knock JC - Jesus is just all right with me. #emmys” Da Fonz! Sometimes it just takes a little patience to achieve your Emmy dreams — like, four decades and six nominations worth of patience. But who’s counting? Not Henry Winkler, who bounded to the stage with delight to claim his first Emmy, more than 40 years after he was first nominated for his role as The Fonz in “Happy Days.” The crowd rose to cheer the 72-year-old Winkler as he accepted his trophy for best supporting actor in a comedy series for HBO’s dark comedy “Barry,” joking that he was giving a speech he wrote 43 years ago. He quoted some Hollywood advice he’d been given, that “if you stay at the table long enough, the chips come to you.” “Tonight I got to clear the table,” he said, and then jokingly told his (adult) children: “You can go to bed now. Daddy won!” Betty White steals the show If that was a feel-good moment, what do you call the sublime appearance of 96-year-old White, honored for 80 years in television? The star of “Golden Girls” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” got such a huge ovation from the crowd

I wish they did that at home.” And she showed she wasn’t above — or beyond — a racy joke: “I want to thank Lorne Michaels for everything he’s done with me. I mean, for me,” she said of the “Saturday Night Live” creator and producer of the evening’s telecast.

Talk about seizing the moment Glenn Weiss knows how to spice up an awards show. In fact, that’s why he won an Emmy Monday — for directing the Oscars. But he took his talent to new heights, using his acceptance speech to pop the question to girlfriend Jan Svendsen. He first gave tribute to his mother, who died two weeks ago, and then addressed his girlfriend. “You

There were two sweet victories for the FX spy drama “The Americans,” which concluded its six-season run in May with an acclaimed finale. The writing award for drama went to Joel Fields and Joseph Weisberg, and the best actor trophy went to Matthew Rhys, who played KGB agent Philip Jennings. In his speech, Rhys acknowledged his longtime co-star and partner in life, Keri Russell, who lost out in the acting category to Foy. “I don’t have the words, I don’t have the time — neither of which would do you justice, Keri,” he said. “So thank you. More to come.” He added that there would be no second onstage proposal that night. “She said, ‘If you propose to me, I’ll punch you clean in the mouth.’”

Bulls survive September adversity for improbable title For the second straight year, Durham wins the International League’s Governors’ Cup By Shawn Krest North State Journal ON LABOR DAY, the Durham Bulls gave serious consideration to not using a designated hitter for their final game of the regular season. Two weeks later, they hoisted the Governors’ Cup for the second straight season. The team’s run to the title may have been the most improbable of their six since 2002, given the condition that Durham was in as the playoffs were set to start. The team that had been in first place in the International League South since May 28 found itself decimated by injuries and Major League call-ups. As it entered the final day of the season and looked at the prospect of starting the playoffs in two days time, the team had exactly nine position players available to play. With parent club Tampa Bay looking to make a run at the wild card, several Bulls were called up as rosters expanded at the start of September, including starting pitcher Jake Faria, relievers Jamie Schultz and Andrew Kittredge, catcher Adam Moore and infielder Andrew Velazquez.

Then, when Tampa had a road series north of the border in Toronto to start the month, another problem cropped up. The newly promoted Moore couldn’t find his passport, leaving the team a catcher short in Canada. So the Rays called up Durham’s other catcher, Nick Ciuffo, to fill in for Moore for the week. Of course, helping the big league club is why the Bulls are there. So it’s hard to fault Tampa for making use of the prospects that loaded Durham’s roster this season. The Bulls probably could have withstood the late call-ups, as they had all season, if not for some bad injury luck. In the final week of the season, third baseman Christian Arroyo hurt his hamstring running to first — an injury that ended his year. Austin Meadows, acquired in the trade that sent Chris Archer to Pittsburgh, had provided a boost of power, hitting 10 home

THE WAKE FOREST football team missed out on an opportunity to make an early statement in the ACC’s Atlantic Division on Thursday by losing its conference opener to Boston College. Saturday, the Deacons have another chance to make a positive impression — this time on the national stage — when Notre Dame makes its second ever trip to BB&T Field. “This is a top-10 team coming to Winston-Salem,” Wake coach Dave Clawson said of the eighthranked Irish. “It’s a nationally broadcast game. Notre Dame has talent. It’s a very skilled football team across the board. We have to rise up and meet the challenge.” The Irish (3-0) would appear to be vulnerable after barely escaping an upset bid by Vanderbilt last week. It took a late fourth down pass breakup deep in Notre Dame territory for coach Brian Kelly’s team to escape with a 22-17 victory. Like Vanderbilt, Wake tried to rally late after falling behind BC in the second half. But the Deacons were unable to overcome a pair of stalled drives in the red zone and an inability to cover the Eagles’ receivers downfield in suffering a 41-34 loss. Unheralded BC quarterback Anthony Brown threw five touchdown passes in the game, all covering 27 yards or more. Though Clawson said he and his players are “excited to bounce back” and called playing Notre Dame at home “a good opportunity” for his program, Wake will need to shore up its defense — especially its pass defense — to have any shot at earning its first win against a top-10 opponent since a win against Tennessee in 1946. “We just have to get in, watch film and practice like we play,” senior safety Cameron Glenn said in the aftermath of the BC loss. “We’ve got to get better. We’ve got to get it done by any means.” To listen to Clawson at his regular weekly press conference Tuesday, that means some lineup changes may be imminent. According to the coach, the only one in the secondary whose job is safe heading into practice this week is cornerback Essang Bassey. “If guys aren’t doing what we’re asking them to do, we’ve got to let other people compete for it, even if that means taking redshirts off and playing those guys,” Clawson said. “Because the way we’re playing on the back end right now is not OK. We’ve got to get it fixed. We’re giving up plays, playing really poorly back there.” The defensive backfield isn’t the only area in which new faces might be used for the Deacons on Saturday.

Florence impacts World Equestrian Games Two events were canceled due to weather at the competition at Tryon International Equestrian Center By Brett Friedlander North State Journal AS IT DID WITH virtually every other sporting event scheduled in the Carolinas, Hurricane Florence wreaked havoc on the FEI World Equestrian Games last weekend. Two events in the prestigious competition had to be canceled because of wet weather and soggy grounds at Tryon International Equestrian Center near Asheville. Sunday’s Helgstrand Dressage Freestyle was originally moved to Monday morning, but because conditions had not improved enough to ensure the safety of the horses and riders, the decision was made not to hold the event. With no other scheduling options before the horses are

scheduled to leave Tryon, the competition will not be made up. The cancellation does not affect the Olympic qualification process, which was completed Thursday with the U.S., Germany, Great Britain, Sweden, Netherlands and Spain all earning trips to Tokyo in 2020. “This was not an easy decision, but we have explored every option, including trying to reschedule the horse departures and even looking at moving the competition into the indoor with a change of footing, but the logistics of making all this happen are just not possible,” Tryon 2018 Organizing Committee president Michael Stone said in a statement. “We know this is desperately disappointing for the 15 athletes who had qualified their horses for the Freestyle, and of course for all the spectators who had bought tickets, but the weather has simply left us with no choice.” The Freestyle wasn’t the only event that fell victim to the elements.

On Wednesday, the Endurance race was also scrapped after a controversial false start that saw several teams misdirected in the wrong direction. The event was halted at the first gate and was to be restarted at that point later in the day. But because of a potentially dangerous combination of extreme heat and humidity on the trail of the crosscountry event, officials decided to cancel the event citing a rule that “competitions must not take place in extreme conditions that may compromise the welfare and safety of the horse.” Of the six events that were contested during the first week of the 13-day international event, held every four years at the halfway mark of the Olympic cycle, the U.S. leads the medal count with five. Germany and Great Britain, however, lead the field with two gold medals each.

Preview: The Tar Heels (0-2) return from their unscheduled week off to play their latest home opener since 2001 against a Panthers team (2-1, 1-0 ACC) they’ve beaten all five times they’ve played as conference rivals. Each game, however, was decided by a TD or less. Players to watch: UNC RB Antonio Williams rushed for 90 yards on six carries before being ejected for targeting two weeks ago at ECU. PK Freeman Jones went 4-for-4 on field goals. Pitt RB Qadree Ollison rushed for 91 yards and two TDs in last week’s win against Georgia Tech. S Damar Hamlin had seven tackles, including two for losses. Fast fact: Pitt’s last win against UNC came at the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte in 2009. What to expect: The Panthers figure to be the perfect opponent to help the Tar Heels turn things around, but after so many close wins in the series, the law of averages is bound to catch up with UNC. — Brett Friedlander

Duke backup quarterback Quentin Harris has been forced into the starter’s role after Daniel Jones was knocked out of the Northwestern game with a fractured clavicle that required surgery.

Duke’s Harris showed he was ready for prime time Backup quarterback credited preparation for his successful starting debut By Shawn Krest North State Journal IF IT LOOKED like they’d done it forever, that’s probably because they had. The Duke Blue Devils faced third and goal from the 7-yard line in the second half of Saturday’s game at Baylor. Quarterback Quentin Harris, making his first collegiate start, took the snap, took one step, set his feet and let fly. Coaches say that a well-run fade route should allow a receiver time to get under the pass — and no one else. The pass should lead the receiver right into the pylon in the rear corner of the end zone. The ball floated toward the back of the end zone, and T.J. Rahming ran to his spot. “T.J. and I, we’ve gotten some pockets of time together,” Harris said. “Last season, when Daniel (Jones, Duke’s starting quarterback) was banged up, I took some of the ones’ reps in practice. So we’ve kind of continued to build a rapport through the years we’ve been here together. That’s a route we run all the time in practice, anywhere from five to 10 times each practice. You add that up over time, it becomes muscle memory.” “That’s something that we probably ran over 50 times during camp, finding that perfect angle, having that touch on the ball,” Rahming agreed. The ball floated into Rahming’s hands, hopelessly out of reach of the defender. Rahming took another two steps and then stumbled … as he hit the pylon in the right rear corner of the end zone. The play stands as the perfect symbol of Harris’ debut as the Duke starter. With Daniel

BULLS from page B1 runs in 27 games with the team. He was hit by a pitch in the team’s division-clinching win over Charlotte and missed the rest of the regular season and start of the playoffs. That left the Bulls with exactly nine position players. One, infielder Kean Wong, one of just two Bulls remaining from the 2017 Triple-A national champions, had been hit in the back by a pitch the day before. Any other time, he would have asked for a day off to recover, but he gutted out the game. During that game, third baseman Brandon Snyder fouled a pitch off of his knee. He also defied common sense and remained in the game, limping around in the field. Then the team headed off to Toledo for the playoffs. Normally, a team in Durham’s predicament could count on reinforcements arriving from the lower minor leagues, but Tampa’s Dou-

Jones on the shelf for the near future with a fractured collarbone, Duke’s players and coaches preached all week that Harris would be ready, and the redshirt junior had their full confidence. The confidence was a testament to Duke’s preparation. “It’s ingrained in us,” Harris said. “It’s something Coach (Dave) Cutcliffe harps on us and preaches. You never really know when your time will come. You’ve got to practice every week like you’re going to play.” Duke’s practices are structured to help get the next man up ready to go, in case of emergency. “That may be the total secret to a good program,” Cutcliffe said. “There’s one ball. You recruit offense players, and maybe five of them don’t care if they touch it a lot — well, maybe the center does. We only have 11 people on the field, and we have 85 on scholarship. … We’re not a program that just gives our reps to the ones. We rep three deep, four deep. Everybody matters on that practice field.” That’s why, with a second-string quarterback, second-string center and a secondary filled with backups, Duke was able to not miss a beat despite playing on the road against a Power Five team with a week that’s schedule was turned upside down by the hurricane that hit North Carolina. “You saw how well-prepared guys were,” Harris said. “How much attention to detail they had. How focused they were.” It should only get better, since Harris now has on-field experience and game film to watch. “Previously, when I’ve been in a game, it’s been mainly garbage time, just kind of handing the ball off,” he said. “(Having film is) definitely helpful, especially from a learning perspective — to be able to critique myself and improve week-to-week. I still don’t think we’ve reached our potential.”

6 Governors’ Cup titles for the Durham Bulls since the team made the jump to Triple-A in 1998. ble-A affiliate and two of their three Class A teams also made the playoffs, making it tough to promote anyone to Durham. The Bulls dropped the series opener in Toledo and appeared to be headed for a quick exit from the postseason. Instead, Durham won three straight, dispatching the Mud Hens thanks to the veterans who had made up the core of the roster as all the prospects took the shuttle to Tampa all year long. The 31-year-old Snyder played through his sore knee, driving in a team-high three runs in

“You never really know when your time will come. You’ve got to practice every week like you’re going to play.” Quentin Harris, Duke quarterback With quarterback guru Cutcliffe going through it with him, Harris can’t help but improve. “He went wire-to-wire,” Cutcliffe said. “There’s a lot in there. When you’re reading defenses, your presnap reads, your postsnap reads, all of those come to life on film.” Plus, there’s no substitute for experience. “When you’re talking to a quarterback, the more experienced they are, you don’t need to have a board. You don’t even need to have film. You’re in a visualization talk,” Cutcliffe said. “It’s hard to visualize something when you haven’t experienced it. So it’s been fun talking with him. I think he knows he can take another step. I expect him to take that step.” One of the big areas Harris expects to improve is on his accuracy. He completed just 12 of 30 passes against Baylor, including some misses on short dump-offs to backs. “Completion percentage often comes with better presnap reads,” Cutcliffe said. “That’s what people don’t understand. If you’re good enough at presnap reads and react well enough post-snap, if you’re taking the ball to the right places, you can complete 60 percent of your passes.” That includes the fade route in the end zone that you’ve practiced over and over, waiting your turn.

Preview: The Mountaineers (1-1) return to action in their weatherdelayed home opener after last week’s cancellation. App State has won all seven games in the series with the Bulldogs (1-2), including six straight at home. Players to watch: WR Corey Sutton had a 90-yard TD catch against Charlotte in the Mountaineers most recent game. He has four catches of more than 30 yards and ranks No. 3 nationally at 26.9 yards per reception. S Austin Exford recovered a fumble for a TD in the win against the 49ers. Gardner-Webb RB Jaylin Cagle has rushed for 227 yards and three TDs this season. LB Corey Horne is the Bulldogs leading tackler with 36. Fast fact: Gardner-Webb coach Carroll McCray got his start as a grad assistant at App State in 1984. He coached OLBs for the Mountaineers from 1986-88. What to expect: App State should have little trouble putting away a Big South opponent coming off losses to NC A&T and Western Carolina. — Brett Friedlander

Charlotte at Massachusetts McGuirk Alumni Stadium Saturday, 3:30 p.m. Eleven Sports Network

Preview: UMass has lost three straight since opening with a win. Charlotte is playing a game with a winning record for just the fifth time in program history. Players to watch: UMass running back Marquis Young has topped 1,000 all-purpose yards in all three of his previous seasons. He had 83 rushing yards and 70 kick return yards at FIU last week. Charlotte defensive end Alex Highsmith is third in Conference USA with 4.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 in the last two games. He has 9.5 TFL and 3.5 sacks in his last eight games. Fast fact: UMass linebacker coach Sean Duggan was a college teammate of Panthers All-Pro Luke Kuechly at Boston College. The pair lined up together for the 2011 season. Duggan had seven tackles in a win over NC State that year. Kuechly had 18. What to expect: Charlotte has a good chance at moving two games over .500 for just the second time ever. — Shawn Krest

NC State at Marshall Joan C. Edwards Stadium Saturday, 7 p.m. CBS Sports Network

Preview: Both teams had games canceled last week due to Hurricane Florence. Marshall stayed home instead of traveling to South Carolina and had practices on Friday and Saturday. NC State scratched a home game against West Virginia, but the Pack kept its reservation at the team hotel and rode out the storm together. Players to watch: Tight end Cary Angeline will make his Wolfpack debut. The transfer from Southern Cal had to wait a year after his last college game, which was Sept. 16 of last season. He’s a former four-star recruit. Marshall redshirt freshman quarterback Isaiah Green has 47 completions and 550 yards passing through two games, second most by a Marshall passer through his first two career starts. Fast fact: The stadium is named after New Orleans jazz singer Joan Cavill Edwards and is one of just two stadiums named after a woman—Williams-Bryce Stadium in South Carolina is the other. What to expect: The Pack will look to extend its hot start to the season, picking up where it left off before the storm.

the opening series. Jason Coats, a 28-year-old former Chicago White Sox player, hit .364 and scored four runs. The team then headed to the Governors’ Cup final in a rematch against Scranton-Wilkes Barre and met even more adversity. With Hurricane Florence scheduled to arrive in North Carolina at the same time the series would move to Durham, the league made the decision to play the entire series in Scranton, meaning the team would have to win three games on the road to repeat as champions. Led by another veteran, former Yankee Rob Refsnyder, who hit two home runs, drove in four and hit .350 against his old team, and a bullpen that recorded saves in five of Durham’s six postseason victories, the Bulls clinched the title in four games, earning their sixth Governors’ Cup since 2002. Durham played for the Triple-A National Championship — its second in as many seasons — Tuesday night after press time.

Panthers ‘D’ looks for solutions after Atlanta loss A new coordinator, injuries defensive coordinator in as many and Thomas Davis’ years. suspension have all hindered Sean McDermott, who arrived Carolina’s young defense in Carolina with Rivera and led By Shawn Krest North State Journal The Atlanta Falcons hit the Carolina Panthers defense in the mouth on Sunday. Afterward, their coaches weren’t pulling any punches either. Head coach Ron Rivera’s evaluation of the unit’s performance had him using words that rarely get applied to the Panthers defense. “Terrible,” he said immediately after the game. “A little lazy,” he said on Monday, after a chance to review the film. With Falcons Pro Bowl running back Devonta Freeman out with an injury, the Panthers allowed backup Tevin Coleman to rush for 107 yards. Coleman was the first opponent to top the century mark on the ground against the Panthers since Seattle’s Thomas Rawls on Dec. 4, 2016, snapping a 21-game streak. “We made too many mistakes,” Rivera said. “We didn’t give ourselves a chance. We have to be more disciplined than that.” The Falcons had 170 rushing yards, more than the Panthers allowed in their last three games of last season combined. “I’m a defensive head coach,” Rivera said, “and to have that happen — I will not stand for that. I will get that corrected.” There are a few reasons for the Panthers’ uncharacteristic performance against the run on Sunday, and reasons to be optimistic that things will improve going forward. Learning curve The Panthers have experienced leaders on defense, most notably linebacker Luke Kuechly, who led the team with eight tackles and two tackles for loss. The team has lost a great deal of leadership at the top, however. The Panthers are on their third

WAKE FOREST from page B1 rules, the one-time starting quarterback is now eligible to return to the lineup. And Clawson definitively said the junior would see action against the Irish. The only question is where. Hinton is listed on Wake’s depth chart as the second-team quarterback behind freshman Sam Hartman, who looked like a freshman for the first time in his three starts Thursday against BC. But he spent considerable time during preseason camp working as a wide receiver and kick returner. Clawson wasn’t ready to provide any hints as to what role Hinton will play now that he’s back as a member of the team in good standing. Chances are, it will be in multiple capacities. “Kendall is such an athlete,” said Cade Carney, one of two Deacon

the defense for the previous six years, left prior to last season to become head coach of the Buffalo Bills. Steve Wilks, a key assistant on McDermott’s staff for the previous five years, took over as coordinator last year and earned a head coaching gig with Arizona. That put Eric Washington at the helm of the defense. He also arrived at the same time as Rivera, but there’s still a continuity issue with so many new faces in the coordinator role in such a short span. Still, Rivera isn’t grading on a curve. “We have a standard,” he said. “This standard has been here since Sean McDermott was here with us, Steve Wilks was here with us and now Eric Washington, and we’re not going to tolerate it.” Washington also didn’t use the losses of McDermott and Wilks as an excuse. “One game does not change who we are,” he said. “We need to play faster, with more effort and with more energy.” Missing personnel Both Rivera and Washington pointed out that the defense was slower than usual on Sunday, which they blamed for the subpar performance. “A couple of times, we were playing behind the play,” Rivera said. “We just have to finish,” Washington said. “Play faster. Play ahead of the play instead of with the play.” Thomas Davis, the team’s veteran linebacker who is known for his speed, has missed the first two games, serving a league suspension for a positive PED test. He’ll miss two more. The Panthers have tried to shuffle personnel to make up for the loss, but it’s likely a reason for the slowdown on defense. Julius Peppers is another veteran known for his burst. The

running backs — along with Matt Colburn — to rush for better than 100 yards in the loss to BC. “He’s one of those guys that if you can find a way to get him on the field, you need to, because he’s so hard to tackle.” Hinton’s versatility could be a major boost to an offense that rolled up 512 yards against BC, but went 5 of 22 on third down and came away with just a pair of field goals on three second-half drives inside the 10-yard line. That inability to get into the end zone allowed the Eagles to pull away after the teams played to a 21all draw after two periods. “We moved the ball but didn’t score enough points,” Clawson said. “Notre Dame has a great defense and they’re ranked No. 8 for a reason,” wide receiver Sage Surratt added. “We’re going to have to bring our ‘A’ game.”

“We need to play faster, with more effort and with more energy.” Eric Washington, Panthers defensive coordinator veteran has played limited snaps in the first two games, and the pass rush has felt his absence. “He’s getting himself back into football shape,” Rivera said of the 38-year-old Peppers. “You typically play two-to-three games before you get your feet back under you. He’s at that point now.” Youth The fact that the team needs Davis and Peppers—who are a combined 73 years old—back in order to play at normal speed underscores another issue. The Panthers have been playing several young players on defense, which has led to some breakdowns. Defensive backs Donte Jackson, Rashaan Gaulden and Corn Elder all saw time in the game, as did linemen Vernon Butler and linebackers Marquis Haynes and Jermaine Carter. “We’re playing a group of young guys,” Rivera said. “We’re giving young guys opportunities on the football field, but that’s not an excuse. We have to make sure they’re coached up properly and put them in a position to be successful.” That, again, falls on the new defensive coordinator. “Experience is the best teacher,” Washington said. “But we’ve got to make sure we’re giving them the reps both on the practice field and in the meeting room.” “We’re not going to dwell on it,” Washington added. “We’ll shore those things up, and you’ll see the Panthers defense you’re accustomed to seeing.” And if not, you’ll see changes. “We’ll put players on the field we believe are doing it our way and playing hard,” Rivera said.

RALEIGH — After four days of drills, systems and skating — lots of it — the Carolina Hurricanes finally get to play hockey again. The team was set to open its preseason schedule Tuesday night at Tampa Bay and then will host the Lightning on Wednesday at PNC Arena, the first two of six exhibition games before the 2018-19 season opens Oct. 4 when the team hosts the New York Islanders. The beginning of camp can only teach the new coaching staff — led by coach Rod Brind’Amour, assistant Jeff Daniels (in his second tour of duty behind the Carolina bench) and new addition Dean Chynoweth — so much, with each September game slowly revealing who will be on the roster come the season opener. That doesn’t mean there aren’t things to be learned this early in camp, and nowhere is an answer needed more than at center. The injury to Victor Rask — who cut his hand while cutting food in his kitchen last week, requiring surgery that Brind’Amour said will keep him out “months” — further stresses the need for someone to step up and be a legitimate topnine pivot this season. The Hurricanes have had a parade of young players pegged as future centers who never made the move to the middle: Jeff Skinner, Elias Lindholm and Teuvo Teravainen were all touted as centers but never got a fair shot at playing the middle full time. Sebastian Aho is the latest promising player the team has said could be moved to center, and early in camp, he has lined up in the middle. Aho spent the first couple days of camp in drills centering newcomer Micheal Ferland and second overall pick Andrei Svechnikov, and then at Monday’s practice — with the Russian rookie moved to the other group that was set to travel to Tampa on Tuesday — with Ferland and Finnish import Saku Maenalanen. The concern with Aho is that he is just 5-foot-11 and 172 pounds. “Usually a prototypical centerman, you’re talking about is 6’3, 200, big guy, skates like the wind,” Justin Williams said back at media day. “You need to have that certain arrogance, that strength on the puck, the ability to win faceoffs and the ability to be counted on,” he added. “That’s a big responsibility, playing center.” The Hurricanes know they have a franchise cornerstone in Aho, but only time will tell if he can be a center rather than a standout winger this season and beyond. There’s been no such indecision

“You need to have that certain arrogance, that strength on the puck, the ability to win faceoffs and the ability to be counted on.” Hurricanes captain Justin Williams on being a center in the NHL with Martin Necas, the 2017 12th overall pick who has come to his second camp looking the part of star center in the making. Necas is bigger than a year ago but still slight at 6-foot-2 and 179 pounds. Fortunately, he’s already shown that his skating ability can help him in the corners, where his ability to quickly change direction allows him to stay with puck carriers even if he’s not yet strong enough to physically challenge bigger forwards. With hulking Jordan Staal entrenched as the shutdown center, it’s the final spot — or two, if Aho moves back to wing — that is still up in the air. Brind’Amour said the team views the versatility to play center as a plus. “I think in general we were looking for that, even if Rask was around,” Brind’Amour said after Monday’s practice. “(Jordan) Martinook’s been playing center. It’s not really his natural position.” Maenalanen has played in the middle and, at 6-foot3, 185 pounds, has the type of frame Williams mentioned, but Brind’Amour hinted that the transition to North America — specifically with the subtleties of English that come only with time — required some patience. Teravainen, who doesn’t check off any more boxes than Aho when it comes to being a “prototypical” pivot, is also an option — and willing. “I’m available with anything pretty much, either wing or center,” Tervainen said. “I played center pretty much all my young career, so I can do that, too. But it’s whatever the coaches want to do.” Lucas Wallmark and Nicolas Roy, who both played center exclusively in Charlotte last season, could also be considered, while Janne Kuokkanen — who has spent a lot of time at the beginning of camp playing with NHL players — Aleksi Saarela and Warren Foegele all have experience at center but have played more on the wing as pros. The hope for Brind’Amour and his staff is that the opportunity will bring out the best in one or more players. “We’ve got a couple weeks here; we’ve got six games,” he said. “Hopefully, someone will emerge and take charge of that and it will be an easy decision. “If not, then we’ll have to figure something else out.” Sebastian Aho (20) spent much of last season playing on the wing with Jordan Staal (11), but the Hurricanes are hoping the third-year Finn can move to the middle full-time in 2018-19.
