Early voting for the 2018 November midterm elections in North Carolina begins on Wednesday, Oct. 17 and runs through Saturday, Nov. 3rd . In this file photo, people line up under the morning sun for early voting in the 2016 election at Chavis Community Center in Raleigh. In 2016, North Carolina voters cast their ballots just four weeks after Hurricane Matthew hit with devastating floodwaters. This year, they’re voting about seven weeks after Hurricane Florence and that leaves lawmakers quickly adapting voter registration rules and the state elections board struggling to track down storm-displaced voters.

Debris found on North Carolina beach is from SpaceX rocket Ocracoke Island A large sheet of metal found on a North Carolina beach has been identified as debris from a SpaceX rocket. The National Park Service told a Charlotte newspaper that Elon Musk’s rocket building company confirmed the 10foot by 6-foot debris found Sunday was “rocket hardware.”

Chief Ranger Boone Vandzura of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore says “it’s being handled appropriately.” This isn’t the first time chunks of a SpaceX rocket have been found on an Outer Banks beach. Last October, a 15-foot long section of a jettisoned nose cone was found near Hatteras Village.

Rosemary Acevedo-Gonzalez retrieves her daughter’s clothing as she returns to their home for the first time since it was flooded in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence in Spring Lake, Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2018.

$400M in Florence spending signed into law The second aid package would help deal with immediate needs like replacement of textbooks and vehicles so residents can resume work and school.

By NSJ Staff RALEIGH — On Tuesday Governor Roy Cooper signed the $400 million relief package passed by the state legislature on Monday evening. The money is intended to help people and communities reeling from flooding left by Hurricane Florence and set aside another $450 million for upcoming needs.

The emergency spending plan, unveiled a month after Florence slammed into the state, would help farmers and fishermen who suffered economic losses, keep college students in school despite

storm-related setbacks, and repair damaged school buildings.

Most of the money would come from the state’s emergency reserves. The state has about $2 billion in rainy-day funds, and this year’s state budget left $560 million unspent.

“There’ll be no tax increases and no interruptions or disruptions from a budgetary perspective of any of our existing important programs,” said Rep. Nelson Dollar, a Raleigh-area Republican who heads the House budget-writing committee.

The Florence relief spending legislators have promised so far represents about half of the $1.5 billion Gov. Roy Cooper’s office estimated last week will be needed over a five-year recovery.

More than 30 inches of rain from Florence fell in some parts of the state, and, along with the storm surge, caused wideSee RECOVERY, page A2

By Donna King North State Journal RALEIGH — Ticket takers and vendors were all smiles Monday afternoon at the N.C. State Fair, where good weather and high attendance so far meant a likely successful 2018 fair.

“You have to try the key lime pie ice cream at Howling Cow,” said one volunteer as she greeted visitors streaming into Gate 8 on Monday morning.

The North Carolina State Fair got underway Friday, albeit a day late due to Hurricane Michael moving through the Triangle area. At the Tobacco Pavilion, State Fair manager Kent Yelverton and North Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler officially cut the ribbon to the 151st State Fair, kicking off ten days of activities and demonstrations, plus games and more than 120 rides that make North Carolina’s fair one of the largest mobile midways in North America.

“My favorite thing to do is to first take the State Fair Flyer across the fairgrounds and pick out what I’m going to do next, and if you want to pin me down to my favorite food, good luck,” said Yelverton in an interview on Thursday before opening day.

While the young and young at heart gravitate to the rides, food and carnival games, the cooking contests and giant vegetable competitions always draw the leisurely crowd. Ben Chapman, associate professor and food safety specialist, oversees the food competition and up to 1,400 entries.

“My focus is on food safety,” said Chapman. “Our judges can’t just be taste testers. The process of food science is crucial here. If that pickle isn’t crunchy, our judges are going to know the science of why.”

Harnett County replaces principal over Trump jersey incident National attention over student’s free speech leads district to take action

By David Larson For the North State Journal ANGIER — The principal at the center of a controversy over a student’s Trump shirt has been replaced. Cindy Gordon, the now former head of Harnett Central High School, decided to approach student Matthew Collins at a football game and have him remove a shirt with the 45th president’s name on the back.

The students had been encouraged to wear patriotic clothing to a themed home football game. Collins chose to wear a jersey that a

family friend bought him. It had stars and stripes on the sleeves, big letters saying “USA” across the front and an image of the torch from the Statue of Liberty. The problem for some parents attending the game, who complained to school administrators, was it also had the word “Trump” across the back of the jersey and the No. 45, also a reference to the president.

In a tearful interview with ABC 11, Mike Collins, Matthew’s father, says that the shirt seemed appropriate to him for a patriotic-themed game and his son felt “humiliated” and left the game. Mike Collins said although he is a Democrat, Donald Trump is the president and his son shouldn’t have been forced to reSee JERSEY, page A8

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Freed North Carolina pastor Andrew Brunson fell to one knee in the Oval Office and placed his hand on President Donald Trump’s shoulder in prayer before asking God to provide Trump “supernatural wisdom to accomplish all the plans you have for this country and for him.”

Trump welcomed Brunson to the White House on Saturday to celebrate Brunson’s release from nearly two years of confinement in Turkey, which had sparked a diplomatic crisis between the countries, now under the watchful eye of the world for its human rights policies.

“It is an answer to a whole lotta prayers, and a whole lotta people have been praying for Pastor Brunson and working to get his release,” said Congressman Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) in an interview with WPTF radio in Raleigh.

Hudson sits on the international Helsinki Commission and added an amendment to the groups annual accord that said Turkey could not hold Brunson and others. Hudson also credited Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and President Donald Trump for the release.

“Trump’s administration used religious freedom law to bring significant economic pressure on Turkey,” he added.

Brunson returned to the U.S. aboard a military jet shortly before meeting the president. He was detained in October 2016, formally arrested that December and placed under house arrest on July 25 for health reasons.

“From a Turkish prison to the White House in 24 hours, that’s not bad,” Trump said.

Brunson appeared to be in good health and good spirits. When he asked Trump if he could pray for him, the president replied, “Well, I need it probably more than anyone else in this room, so that would be very nice, thank you.”

Brunson left his chair beside Trump, kneeled and placed a hand on the president’s shoulder.

As Trump bowed his head, Brunson asked God to “give him supernatural wisdom to accomplish all the plans you have for this country and for him. I ask that you give him wisdom in how to lead this country into righteousness.”

He continued: “I ask that you give him perseverance and endurance and courage to stand for truth. I ask that you to protect him from slander from enemies, from those who would undermine. I ask that you make him a great blessing to this country.

Fill him with your wisdom and strength and perseverance. And we bless him. May he be a great blessing to our country. In Jesus’ name, we bless you. Amen.”

“It was a beautiful moment,”

President Donald Trump prays with American pastor Andrew Brunson in the Oval Office of the White House, Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018, in Washington, D.C. Brunson returned to the U.S. around midday after he was freed Friday from nearly two years of detention in Turkey.

“I ask that you give him perseverance and endurance and courage to stand for truth. I ask that you protect him from slander from enemies, from those who would undermine. I ask that you make him a great blessing to this country. Fill him with your wisdom and strength and perseverance. And we bless him. May he be a great blessing to our country. In Jesus’ name, we bless you. Amen.”

Prayer of Pastor Andrew Brunson for President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Saturday, October 13, 2018.

Hudson said of the Oval Office prayer.

Brunson, originally from Black Mountain, N.C., had lived in Turkey with his family for more than two decades and led a small congregation in the Izmir Resurrection Church. He was accused of committing crimes on behalf of Kurdish militants and aiding a Pennsylvania-based Muslim cleric, Fethullah Gulen, accused by Turkey of engineering the failed coup. He faced up to 35 years in jail if convicted of all the charges against him.

Administration officials cast Brunson’s release as vindication of Trump’s hard-nosed negotiating stance, saying Turkey tried to set terms for Brunson’s release but that Trump was insistent on Brunson’s release without conditions. Trump maintained there was no deal for Brunson’s freedom.

“We do not pay ransom in this country,” Trump said.

Erdogan had insisted that his country’s courts are independent, though he previously had suggested a possible swap for Brunson.

RECOVERY from page A1 spread flooding that damaged tens of thousands of homes and other buildings. Authorities have confirmed 40 storm-related deaths.

The damage is estimated to reach billions of dollars, including at least $1.1 billion in crop and livestock losses.

The package approved Monday includes $95 million for repairing and upgrading public school, university and community college property damaged during Florence. About $7 million will help college and university students remain enrolled despite sudden, storm-related expenses.

Farmers needing to buy hay, repair roads and otherwise rebuild agricultural operations will be in line to share $50 million. Homeowners making repairs, needing mortgage help or accepting buyouts to move out of flood plains can split $23 million. Another $3.5 million goes to a program that helps low-income households that lost food because of flooding or electricity outages.

The GOP-controlled legislature started off recovery spending two weeks ago with $56 million to match federal recovery dollars, replace lost pay for school lunch workers and for other state recovery programs. Legislators expect to approve further spending next month — after elections in which most lawmakers will be seeking

Hours earlier, dozens of people from communities damaged by the storm sought out legislators to urge them to provide recovery money.

Robert Koonce Sr., 67, of Kinston, said he hoped in this time of need that politicians would suspend the intense partisan compe-

tition between legislative Republicans and Cooper’s administration.

“Let’s lay aside all this politics,” he said. “Because the truth is the storm was real, the flooding was real, the people are real, our situation is real. And we have the funding to do it. Let’s go help these people.”

The U.S. had repeatedly called for Brunson’s release and this year sanctioned two Turkish officials and doubled tariffs on steel and aluminum imports citing in part Brunson’s plight.

Tillis visited Brunson in Turkey twice, including attending his spring trial, and worked legislation into the defense authorization bill that penalized Turkey by denying sale of military jets.

“When I first met with Pastor Brunson in a Turkish prison earlier this spring, he told me his greatest fear was that the American government would accept the indictment and forget about him.

I told him we would never allow that to happen,” said Tillis in a statement after Brunson’s release.

“Americans from every corner of the country have prayed for his release, and leaders from both parties have worked together behind the scenes. Securing Pastor Brunson’s release was truly a bipartisan, all-hands-on-deck effort,” Tillis continued. “I’m grateful for the efforts of President Trump, the State Department, and my colleagues in the Sen-

Koonce said he has cousins and uncles who were wiped out in the hard-hit towns of Trenton and Pollocksville. They lost homes they had owned for decades, and now, he said, those relatives in their 60s and 70s are wondering where they’re going to live in the years ahead.

Shalonda Regan, 31, of Lumberton, said her home was badly damaged when Hurricane Matthew two years ago flooded the city and 3 feet of water washed indoors. Five months after Regan wrapped up rebuilding with a new roof and furniture, Florence pushed another 6 inches into the home’s lower level.

The water buckled the wood flooring and destroyed the furniture.

Regan wants politicians to listen to what local communities consider the most important kinds of help they need. For example, her neighborhood is still stacked with soggy and moldy piles of furniture and other household trash waiting to be hauled away. The mold triggers her asthma, Regan said.

“I wanted to lend a voice from people who were actually affected,” she said. Lawmakers should “just pay closer attention to us who are on the ground being affected.”

The vote came the same day that two members of President Donald Trump’s cabinet visited Wilmington to survey damage. Ben Carson, secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and Labor Secretary Alex Acosta were both in the

ate. We pursued a number of diplomatic and policy channels that kept the pressure on.”

Trump said the U.S. greatly appreciated Brunson’s release and said the move “will lead to good, perhaps great, relations” between the U.S. and fellow NATO ally Turkey and said the White House would “take a look” at the sanctions. However, there is still skepticism.

“I still have a lot of concerns about a pattern of human rights abuses by Turkey, a pattern of belligerence towards NATO, a pattern of religious persecution all happening in Turkey right now,” said Hudson. “The regime in Turkey is trying to consolidate power at the expense of human rights to its people.”

Erdogan said on Twitter that he hoped the two countries will continue to cooperate “as it befits two allies.” Erdogan also called for joint efforts against terrorism, and he listed the ISIS group, Kurdish militants and the network of a U.S.-based Muslim cleric whom Turkey blames for a failed coup in 2016.

A Turkish court on Friday convicted Brunson of having links to terrorism and sentenced him to just over three years in prison, but released the 50-year-old evangelical pastor because he had already spent nearly two years in detention. An earlier charge of espionage was dropped.

Hours later, Brunson was flown out of Turkey, his home for more than two decades. He was taken to a U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, for a medical checkup.

Darlene Superville and Zeke Miller of the Associated Press contributed to this report.

“We like to go around and see things for ourselves, first of all to make sure that people understand that those of us in the government are just like you, we just happened to be doing this,” said Carson.

Rouzer encouraged people to continue applying for aid even if they are denied.

“Continue to apply, because your circumstances may have changed since you last applied. FEMA doesn’t see that first denial as the end of the road for you,” said Rouzer.

nation & world Pressure in Washington rises over Saudi writer Congress stands ready to act, including a possible halt of military sales

“We will take stern action with the Saudis if necessary.

The United States is the dominant energy player so we’re in pretty good shape.”

By Hope Yen The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — The White House is brushing aside threats by Saudi Arabia that it may economically retaliate for any U.S. punitive action imposed over the suspected murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, pledging a “swift, open, transparent investigation” into his disappearance.

Two leading Republican senators said Congress stands ready to act, including a possible halt of military sales, if President Donald Trump doesn’t.

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow declined to speculate on what Trump might do after the president promised “severe punishment” in a “60 Minutes” interview, if the U.S. determines that Khashoggi was indeed killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. On Sunday, the oil-rich kingdom suggested retaliation if the U.S. were to impose strict measures.

Trump has said he does not want to halt a proposed $110 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia because, he maintained, it would harm U.S. manufacturers.

“We will take stern action with the Saudis if necessary,” Kudlow said. “The United States is the dominant energy player so we’re in pretty good shape, in my opinion, with our energy boom to cover any shortfalls. We’ll wait and see, but rest assured that when the president says we will take actions if we find out bad outcomes, he means it.”

Kudlow also said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin would be attending a Saudi conference this

Turkey says an “inspection” of the consulate is expected to take place later on Monday, nearly two weeks after Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi disappeared there. week to address terrorist financing, but those plans could change as details of the investigation become available.

“The president several times said we want a prompt, swift, open, transparent investigation,” Kudlow said.

Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), members of the Foreign Relations Committee, said Congress was prepared to move quickly and firmly if Trump failed to adequately respond to the Oct. 2 disappearance of Khashoggi, a contributor at The Washington Post who had written columns critical of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Rubio said U.S.-Saudi relations may need to be “completely revised” and stressed the U.S. would lose credibility on human rights if the Trump administration remained silent.

He also said Mnuchin should skip the Saudi conference.

“I don’t think any of our government officials should be going and pretending it’s business as usual until we know what’s happened here,” said Rubio.

Rubio declined to rule out a halt to the arms sales, stressing that the U.S. must send a message to repressive governments worldwide, from Russia to Syria and China.

“There’s not enough money in the world for us to buy back our credibility on human rights if we do not move forward and take swift action,” Rubio said. “Arms sales are important not because of the money but because it also provides leverage over their future behavior.”

Flake said if the Saudis did, in fact, kill Khashoggi, Congress might specifically curtail U.S. military aid to Saudi-led forces in Yemen. Saudi Arabia is leading a coalition of Persian Gulf states in a military campaign against Irani-

By Rod McGuirk and Gregory Katz The Associated Press CANBERRA, Australia — Prince Harry and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, are expecting their first child in the spring, Kensington Palace said Monday.

The announcement came hours after Harry and the former Meghan Markle arrived in Sydney at the start of a 16-day visit to Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand. Hundreds of people gathered to catch a glimpse of the couple after they landed.

“Their royal highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public,” the palace said in a statement.

After their arrival in Sydney, the prince and the former American actress held hands and walked out an airport rear entrance and into a car. Meghan, wearing skinny black pants and a black, burgundy trimmed coat, was smiling and clutching folders, while Harry gave a thumbs up to bystanders.

The announcement of the pregnancy confirms weeks of speculation from royal watchers about why Meghan was not joining Harry on his Sydney Harbour Bridge climb set for Friday.

Harry and Meghan — along with Prince William and his wife, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge — have stepped to the fore in the last year as Queen Elizabeth II, 92, slightly reduces her public schedule.

Monday’s announcement is welcome news in Britain, where Meghan has won many hearts since her engagement to Harry was announced last December.

British Prime Minister Theresa May offered her “warmest congratulations” on the news, which provided a bit of relief from concerns about the stalled Brexit negotiations. “Wishing them all the best,” May tweeted.

The royal couple started dating in July 2016 after they were introduced by friends, and Harry courted Meghan on a trip to Africa shortly afterward. They kept their relationship secret for several months but word eventually leaked to the British press.

They were married in May in a spectacular ceremony on the grounds of Windsor Castle that drew tens of thousands of people to Windsor and was watched by a glob-

an-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The U.S. provides weaponry, intelligence and logistical support for the bombing campaign.

“I do think that arms sales will be affected. Certainly our involvement in Yemen with Saudi Arabia will be affected,” said Flake.

More than 20 Republican and Democratic senators instructed Trump last week to order an investigation into Khashoggi’s disappearance under legislation that authorizes sanctions for perpetrators of extrajudicial killings, torture or other gross human rights violations. The writer had been living in self-exile in Virginia for the past year. The lawmakers’ letter was a preliminary step under the Global Magnitsky Act toward taking punitive action.

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has reviewed the U.S. intelligence into what happened to Khashoggi, said, “The likelihood is he was killed on the day he walked into the consulate.”

Turkish officials say that they fear Saudi agents killed and dismembered Khashoggi after he entered the consulate and that they have audio and video recordings of it. The kingdom has called the allegations “baseless” but has offered no evidence the writer left the consulate.

Kensington Palace announced Monday Oct. 15, 2018, that Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex are expecting a child in spring 2019. al TV audience.

Harry has become immensely popular in Britain, in part because of his military service and tireless work on behalf of wounded soldiers, and he has spoken often in recent years of his desire to settle down and start a family.

When the couple got engaged, Harry was asked about plans for children.

“You know, I think one step at a time, and hopefully we’ll start a family in the near future,” he said.

He said in 2015, before he met Meghan, that he would “love to have kids right now.”

Meghan has also talked about wanting to have children.

She said in a 2016 interview that becoming a mother was on her “bucket list.” She was still acting in “Suits” at the time.

“I can’t wait to start a family, but in due time,” she said.

Meghan, with her American roots and successful acting career, has been seen as a modernizing influence on the sometimes stodgy royal family, and she is credited by many for bringing happiness to Harry, who has long struggled to cope with the early death of his mother, Princess Diana.

Harry has broken new ground by talking openly about his mental health issues related to the death of his mother when he was only 12, and that candidness, which is part of a royal campaign to raise awareness about mental illness and end the stigma surrounding it, has brought the royals increased public backing.

The royal couple reportedly held announcing the pregnancy to avoid upstaging the wedding of royal cousin Princess Eugenie this weekend as she tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Windsor.

PARIS — Flash floods tore through towns in southwest France, turning waterways into raging torrents that killed at least 13 people, nine of them in just one town, authorities said Monday.

People had to be helicoptered to safety from the roofs of their homes as overnight storms dumped the equivalent of several months of rain in just a few hours.

Worst hit was the town of Trebes, east of the medieval walled city of Carcassonne.

He told BFMTV that the floods in the Aude region also killed four other people in other Ines Siguet, locations, left one person missa resident of ing and seriously injured five Trebes, France others.

In the town of Villegailhenc, witness Ines Siguet said the waters rose so quickly that people were stranded on the roofs of their homes and had to be helicoptered to safety. She posted video of a ripped-up road where a bridge used to be, torn away by a flood torrent that cut the town in half.

“There’s nothing left. There’s just a hole,” the 17-year-old resident told The Associated Press. “It was very violent.”

Other roads also were flooded, leaving the town cut off, she said. Siguet’s school was shut down amid the destruction. Two people were killed in the town, according to the Aude regional government.

Alain Thirion, the prefect of Aude, said some of the dead appeared to have been swept away by floodwaters. In the town of Conques-sur-Orbiel, the river rose by more than 20 feet, he said.

Floodwaters were in some cases too powerful for emergency services to get through, even on boats, he said.

Television images showed waters coursing through towns and villages, with cars stranded in the floods and piled up on top of each other like children’s toys.

The French government rushed hundreds of rescue workers into the flood zone and helicopters buzzed overhead. Schools were closed and authorities were urging people to stay home.

Trial beginning on suit alleging Harvard admissions bias Boston Opening statements in a Boston federal court were presented Monday in the lawsuit brought by Virginiabased Students for Fair Admissions. Plaintiffs argued that Harvard University’s admissions process unfairly excludes academically talented Asian-Americans by increasing admissions standards for them in favor of students from other races. Harvard denies any discrimination and says it considers race as only one of many factors as they select from thousands of applicants a year. The case carries implications for many other colleges that also say they consider race to admit a diverse mix of students.

1 dead, another wounded in shooting at Tennessee naval base Millington, Tenn.

Police in Tennessee say one man was killed and another wounded in a shooting at a naval base. WREG-TV reported Millington police say one man was arrested in the Sunday morning shooting at the Naval Support Activity base. The wounded man has been hospitalized. His condition is unclear. Police haven’t released the identities of those involved. Police Chief Mark Dunbar said an argument broke out during a party at a Navy-owned rental cabin. He said the suspect then opened fire. A public affairs officer for Naval Support Activity Mid-South, Amanda Moreno, said the people involved in the shooting aren’t active-duty sailors. She said cabin renters aren’t checked for weapons as the facility is open to the public and jurisdiction is shared with the police department.

7 in Amish buggy are injured after car rearends it Ashland, Ohio Authorities say a driver in Ohio hit an Amish buggy and injured all seven people in the horse-drawn vehicle. The State Highway Patrol said Patrick Muscaro failed to maintain a distance and struck the rear of a buggy driven by 31-year-old Andy Swartzentruber around 7:30 p.m. Sunday in Sullivan Township near Ashland. The patrol says Swartzentruber, his wife and five children were thrown from the buggy.

Troopers say Swartzentruber and two of his children were flown to hospitals with serious injuries. His wife and their other children were taken to a local hospital for treatment.

The patrol said 47-year-old Muscaro, of West Salem, Ohio, was arrested on a charge of operating a vehicle under the influence. Court records don’t show an attorney for him.

State elections chair questions need to delay Hise hearing

McDowell

By NSJ Staff RALEIGH — As Sen. Ralph Hise (R-Madison) faces a hearing on accusations of campaign finance violations from the 2016 elections, his request to delay the proceedings until his mother is released from an Asheville hospital has begged more questions from the state elections board chairman.

In a letter to Hise’s lawyer dated Oct. 8, 2018, chairman J. Anthony Penry asked for written proof that Hise’s mother, who was also his campaign treasurer during the election in question, is hospitalized due to complications from cancer treatment and that Hise would be “unfairly prejudiced” if she cannot participate.

The hearing is currently scheduled to start on Wednesday. According to an Oct. 5 letter from Hise’s lawyer, Steven Long, the board is investigating mileage reimbursements charged to his campaign, and those were calculated by Shirley Hise, Hise’s mother, in her duties as campaign treasurer.

“Senator Hise cannot make a full and fair presentation to the Board without the testimony of the committee treasurer,” he wrote.

“This past Tuesday, Ms. Hise was admitted to Mission Hospital. … She is not able to walk and currently has serious health issues that do not allow her to come to Raleigh,” he

Michael causes nearly two dozen accidents in one day McDowell County Tropical Storm Michael hit McDowell County particularly hard. The county’s 911/EMS Twitter account announced that emergency personnel responded to 22 car accidents in a 23-hour period during the heavy rains brought by the storm last Wednesday. On Friday, Gov. Roy Cooper confirmed that a woman was killed in the county after crashing into a large tree that had fallen into the road.

RALEIGH — North Carolina’s Attorney General Josh Stein is looking into whether new types of e-cigarettes are targeting young people. Stein says he has launched an investigation into the makers of Juul. He says the flavors of the product are attractive to young people based on his own survey at a location where they are sold.

“81.5 percent of youth e-cigarette users say they use them because they like the flavors.

These flavors mask the harshness of the Juul’s high nicotine content,” said Stein in a press conference held at a North Carolina high school.

“Each disposable Juul flavor insert contains as least as much nicotine as pack of cigarettes, and children can easily consume one within an hour,” he said.

RALEIGH — As Nov. 6 elections loom, concerns about candidates’ real county residency are popping up. Rep. Jean Farmer-Butterfield (D-Wilson County) is getting questions about her house in Johnston County, one she says is only to give her somewhere to stay while she is at the legislature. Her district is in Wilson, and her listed place of residence is her parent’s old home.

Farmer-Butterfield also owns a home in Garner, about 20 minutes away from Wilson, but outside District 24, which she represents.

She said she is only in the Garner home during the legislative session and her daughter lives there year-round. Farmer-Butterfield said it is not uncommon for lawmakers to stay closer to the capital.

Her unaffiliated opponent, Ken

Fontenot, a conservative, told a local newspaper that he estimated his commute time to Raleigh would be about 45 minutes.

“I won’t have a second home in Raleigh,” said Fontenot to the local newspaper. “I love Wilson, I like living here, and I plan on coming home every night. I have a wife and three kids, and we are embedded in the community.”

The NCGOP has endorsed Fontenot in the District 24 race, even though he is unaffiliated.

“Her constituents call her a ‘ghost.’ Does Farmer-Butterfield think voters are stupid?” the NCGOP wrote in a press release Monday.

Famer-Butterfield said she remains active in the community in Wilson. On her N.C. Ethics Commissions Statement of Economic Interests form, she lists as her secondary employer the ARC of N.C., based in Raleigh.

Tariffs and world trade

“No previous administration or Congress has taken such a blunt force posture toward China.”

TARIFFS ARE BAD. They are just “taxes” by a different name.

Higher taxes and tariffs retard economic production and growth.

The higher the tax, or tariff, the lower amount of product is sold.

Would the imposition of the Trump trade tariffs lead to a worldwide recession all by themselves as some fear? Or will they lead to a tarifffree world which has been the dream of every free market philosopher in history?

The total amount of trade on which new tariffs could be imposed by President Donald Trump is approximately $640 billion in dollar terms on items shipped from China, Canada, Mexico, the EU and Asian Rim countries to the United States.

The amount of business transacted worldwide today is roughly $80 trillion in dollar-denominated terms. Global economic growth is expected to be 5 percent this year, so world GDP could grow by an additional $4 trillion on top of the current level of $80 trillion.

If the tariff rate imposed by the U.S. is 25 percent on $640 billion of trade in volume, $160 billion would be collected by the Trump “tariff/ tax hike.”

The Trump-imposed tariffs would represent a miniscule 0.2% percent of world GDP output for the entire year. They would amount to only 4 percent of the nominal GDP growth of the entire world of $4 trillion over the next year.

Both assume that the tariffs will be enacted. Many say President Trump is using the “threat” of imposing tariffs to force nations to the bargaining table to get a better deal for Americans.

What is truly big and significant?

Chinese pilfering of U.S. intellectual property rights.

Based on the 2017 Commission on Theft of American Intellectual Property, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said: “Chinese theft of American IP currently costs between $225 billion and $600 billion (in lost sales or economic value) annually.”

Up to $600 billion annually in America alone; four times the size of the possible Trump tariffs. That is as if the GDP of the state of Ohio is removed from American soil and given to Chinese workers and government enterprises as a gift each year.

China has been stealing intellectual property rights in the form of patents, copyrights and designs for decades from every advanced nation on earth. Intellectual property protection is the core of free enterprise everywhere around the globe. Failure to protect IP from being stolen without due process and payment of royalties devalues every product, service or technological breakthrough American inventors, creators and businesses make every day.

Chinese government and corporate engineers and businesses steal designs and technology from every sector imaginable and then manufacture products at very low wages and costs so Chinese products dominate the market and then destroy their foreign competitors who invented it in the first place.

ANDY WONG | AP PHOTO | FILE

In this Nov. 9, 2017, file photo, U.S. President Donald Trump, right, chats with Chinese President Xi Jinping during a welcome ceremony at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Why don’t the Chinese worry about protecting their intellectual property rights? If China ever produces innovations as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Benjamin Franklin did, maybe then they will start clamoring for intellectual property protection for their products instead of stealing ours.

The Trump strategy appears to be coming into focus: Revamp existing trade agreements with all trading partners around the globe first and then build a worldwide coalition against the Chinese to force them into submitting to the basic tenets of fair play in a world of free trade.

Otherwise, a coalition will in effect erect global trade embargoes on China to bring their economy to its knees until they do agree to play by the rules of free and fair trade.

No previous administration or Congress has taken such a blunt force posture toward China. Gentle or turning-the-other-cheek diplomacy obviously has not worked in the past, so why not try another tactic?

Such blunt force may be the only way to bring China into the community of nations where true free trade can prevail for the 21st century.

GUEST COLUMN | ILYA SHAPIRO AND MATTHEW LAROSIERE

Nonviolent felons shouldn’t lose their Second Amendment rights “The district judge agreed that permanently banning all felons — whether violent or not — from owning firearms was unconstitutional.”

IN 1989, Larry Hatfield fudged his employment records to get some extra money from the Railroad Retirement Board. He was caught and pled guilty to the federal crime of making a false statement and was sentenced to a fine and (at the government’s recommendation) no prison time. Since then, Hatfield has lived his life without incident, incurring nary as much as a parking ticket. He doesn’t fight, do drugs or cause problems. Hatfield has lived as a completely law-abiding citizen for decades.

Hatfield’s neighborhood, however, has changed for the worst, so he wants to own a firearm to defend himself in his home. But the intersection of an odd federal law — 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) — and the ever-expanding idea of what a “felony” is has seen his right to keep and bear arms stripped away. That old conviction for lying to the Retirement Board now restricts his right to armed self-defense.

While his conduct in 1989 was not upstanding, permanently stripping Hatfield of his core Second Amendment right seems an excessive punishment — one that puts the government in the interesting position of having argued that Hatfield is both so nondangerous so as to have been recommended zero days in prison, but so dangerous that he can never be trusted with a gun.

Hatfield sued in federal court and won. The district judge agreed that permanently banning all felons — whether violent or not — from owning firearms was unconstitutional. The government has appealed that ruling to the Chicago-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit. Because the Second Amendment applies, on its face, to all

Americans, Cato has filed a brief supporting Hatfield. Across-theboard felon disarmament is not only unconstitutional as applied to Hatfield — a nonviolent felon who served no prison time — but with respect to all nonviolent felons.

There is no longstanding precedent supporting the government’s position. In fact, Congress enacted a provision restoring gun rights to felons that don’t pose a threat to public safety, indicating a tacit acceptance that “felon” as a category is excessively broad in relation to the government’s stated purpose of protecting the public. Section 922’s operation as a categorical elimination of rights for a broad class of people is both beyond what was historically acceptable and without a meaningful tie to public safety.

The excessive breadth of modern felonies — including things as irrelevant to public safety as improper packaging of lobsters — unconstitutionally removes many individuals’ rights to self-defense.

These laws also hurt minorities and the poor, the people most likely to become victims of crime and receive the least police assistance.

In Hatfield v. Sessions, the 7th Circuit should uphold the lower court’s ruling and find the permanent removal of Hatfield’s right to defend himself unconstitutional.

Don’t look for civility unless Democrats win in November

The electoral college debate

JOSE LUIS MAGANA | AP PHOTO

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass speaks to demonstrators as they protest against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, outside of the U.S. Capitol, on Thursday, Oct. 4, 2018, in Washington.

“Just let Democrats win the elections, and then Republican senators and their wives can eat dinner in restaurants without being forced out by jeering crowds.”

“YOU CANNOT BE CIVIL with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,” Hillary Clinton told CNN last Tuesday.

Her words cannot be taken literally, for you can be civil if you want to; they’re a statement that she doesn’t want to.

That’s the bad news; the good news is that she laid out the terms and conditions under which civility will be appropriate again. “(I)f we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the Senate,” she went on, “that’s when civility can start again.”

Easy. Just let Democrats win the elections, and then Republican senators and their wives can eat dinner in restaurants without being forced out by jeering crowds. Republican members of Congress can rest in peace at night, knowing that their addresses and phone numbers won’t be doxed and crowds won’t gather to attack.

Asked if Democrats should stop behaving this way now, Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono blandly replied, “This is what happens.” So much for the aloha spirit. Doesn’t apply, apparently, if you favor restrictions on abortions.

A Republican senator out raking leaves can be attacked by an angry Democratic neighbor and left with multiple ribs broken. The House Republican baseball team cannot relax in the knowledge that a Bernie Sanders bro can start spraying gunfire over their practice field.

When I was writing the first edition of The Almanac of American Politics, 40-some years ago, it was common for members of Congress to list their Washington, D.C., addresses in the Congressional Directory. If you could have found one of those cumbersome earlier copies, you could have printed a four-page table showing the whole bunch of them.

You can tell that Democrats are a little embarrassed by Party leaders’ nondenunciation of violence and intimidation — assault and battery in criminal law. That’s because their CNN reporter political allies have been bristling when the howling protesters against Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation are called a “mob.”

That’s a term apparently reserved for Republican protesters, no matter how many decibels the invited guests of Democratic members emit in the Senate gallery.

Democrats might reasonably reply that Donald Trump offered to pay legal costs for a MAGA enthusiast accused of beating up Democrats, and that Clinton rebuked him sharply and rightfully for refusing in advance to accept the results of the election. Liberals pride themselves on being tolerant and see themselves as political

milquetoasts. But when they’re losing, they are at least as nasty and violent as they have sometimes accurately accused Trump and his followers of being.

For some voters, at least, this is not a good look.

Recent polls show Republicans gaining in some close Senate races — ABC-OH Predictive Insights in Arizona, NBC News-Marist College in Nevada, and New York Times Upshot-Siena College and CBS-YouGov in Tennessee and Texas.

The cumulative effect is indicated by the fact that, for the first time in months, Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight website gives Republicans a better chance (22 percent) of maintaining its majority in the House than the Democrats’ chance (19 percent) of winning a majority in the Senate. Both are a bit below the 29 percent chance of winning the website gave Donald Trump just before the 2016 election.

Many, though not all, post-Kavanaugh confirmation polls show enthusiasm about voting increasing among Republican voters, for the first time this cycle, to the level as among Democrats.

That’s important, since off-year turnout is variable and the Democrats’ advantage has been clear in special elections as well as polls. If that’s maintained, Republicans’ chances of holding their Senate majority is good: Nine of the 10 states with the closest Senate races were carried by Trump back then.

In House contests, many eyes have been fastened on upscale (high income/high education) districts where Trump ran significantly behind earlier Republicans and Clinton ran significantly ahead of earlier Democrats. But they’re less than half the 68 seats rated as tossups or leaning to one party by the Cook Political Report or the 69 in The Washington Post’s survey of battleground House districts.

The New York Times Upshot-Siena College surveys of 40 House districts have shown Republicans ahead by 2 points or more in 18 polls, Democrats similarly ahead in 12, and a tie or a 1-point lead for one party in 10 polls. “Democrats,” The Times’ Nate Cohn tweeted Oct. 7, “have put a long list of Republican-leaning districts into play.

But it’s not clear whether they actually lead in a lot of them.”

So it’s possible, though unlikely, Democrats could fall short in both houses. In which case I guess we can’t hope for any civility from Hillary Clinton.

NUMBER OF THE DAY | SCOTT RASMUSSEN

67% of Americans represent exhausted majority tired of polarized politics

A NEW STUDY SUGGESTS that 25 percent of Americans are either traditional or devoted conservatives. Another 8 percent of Americans are progressive activists. The views of both groups are outside the American mainstream.

In between, 67 percent represent an exhausted majority who don’t fit into either of the polarized camps and are left out of the national conversation entirely.

This data highlights the divisive nature of American politics. Other research shows that 63 percent of voters believe that American society is less polarized than American politics.

Data from “Hidden Tribes: A Study of America’s Polarized Landscape” also notes that 80 percent of Americans believe that political correctness is a problem. The study quotes a 40-year-old American Indian from Oklahoma to articulate the problem: “It seems like every day you wake up something has changed. … Do you say Jew? Or Jewish? Is it a black guy? African-American? … You are on your toes because you never know what to say. So political correctness in that sense is scary.”

Wealthy and highly educated Americans are less opposed to political correctness than any other segment of the population.

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.

Pew Research found that just 18 percent of Americans discuss politics and government on a daily basis. At the other extreme, half (49 percent) discuss politics a few times or less each month.

Older Americans and those with more formal education are more likely to discuss politics. For example, 30 percent of those with a postgraduate degree discuss politics daily. That figure falls to 20 percent among college graduates, 17 percent among those who have attended college without graduating, and 13 percent among those who have never taken a college class.

Those closer to the ideological extremes discuss politics more than those closer to the political center.

Twenty-five percent (25 percent) of liberal Democrats discuss politics daily along with 21 percent of conservative Republicans. Fifteen percent of more centrist Democrats discuss politics daily along with 8 percent of more centrist Republicans.

Scott Rasmussen’s Number of the Day explores interesting and newsworthy topics at the intersection of culture, politics, and technology.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, seeking to represent New York’s 14th Congressional District, has called for the abolition of the Electoral College. Her argument came on the heels of the Senate’s confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. She was lamenting the fact that Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, nominated by George W. Bush, and Justices Neil Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, nominated by Donald Trump, were court appointments made by presidents who lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College vote.

Hillary Clinton has lo ng been a critic of the Electoral College. Just recently, she wrote in The Atlantic, “You won’t be surprised to hear that I passionately believe it’s time to abolish the Electoral College.”

Subjecting presidential elections to the popular vote sounds eminently fair to Americans who have been miseducated by public schools and universities. Worse yet, the call to eliminate the Electoral College reflects an underlying contempt for our Constitution and its protections for personal liberty. Regarding miseducation, the founder of the Russian Communist Party, Vladimir Lenin, said, “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” His immediate successor, Josef Stalin, added, “Education is a weapon whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.”

“Subjecting presidential elections to the popular vote sounds eminently fair to Americans who have been miseducated by public schools and universities.”

A large part of Americans’ miseducation is the often-heard claim that we are a democracy.

The word “democracy” appears nowhere in the two most fundamental documents of our nation — the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. In fact, our Constitution — in Article 4, Section 4 — guarantees “to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.”

The Founding Fathers had utter contempt for democracy. James Madison, in Federalist Paper No. 10, said that in a pure democracy, “there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual.” At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, Virginia Gov. Edmund Randolph said that “in tracing these evils to their origin, every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy.” John Adams wrote: “Remember Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a Democracy Yet, that did not commit suicide.” At the Constitutional Convention, Alexander Hamilton said: “We are now forming a republican government. Real liberty” is found not in “the extremes of democracy but in moderate governments. ... If we incline too much to democracy, we shall soon shoot into a monarchy.”

For those too dense to understand these arguments, ask yourselves: Does the Pledge of Allegiance say “to the democracy for which it stands” or “to the republic for which it stands”?

Did Julia Ward Howe make a mistake in titling her Civil War song “Battle Hymn of the Republic”? Should she have titled it “Battle Hymn of the Democracy”?

The founders saw our nation as being composed of sovereign states that voluntarily sought to join a union under the condition that each state admitted would be coequal with every other state. The Electoral College method of choosing the president and vice president guarantees that each state, whether large or small in area or population, has some voice in selecting the nation’s leaders. Were we to choose the president and vice president under a popular vote, the outcome of presidential races would always be decided by a few highly populated states. They would be states such as California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois and Pennsylç vania, which contain 134.3 million people, or 41 percent of our population. Presidential candidates could safely ignore the interests of the citizens of Wyoming, Alaska, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Delaware. Why? They have only 5.58 million Americans, or 1.7 percent of the U.S. population. We would no longer be a government “of the people”; instead, our government would be put in power by and accountable to the leaders and citizens of a few highly populated states.

Political satirist H.L. Mencken said, “The kind of man who wants the government to adopt and enforce his ideas is always the kind of man whose ideas are idiotic.”

A8 JERSEY from page A1 move the shirt.

After receiving a lot of backlash from the community, as well as national attention from social media, the Harnett County School System released a statement announcing leadership changes at their schools.

“Effective immediately, Ms. Catherine Jones, current principal at Harnett Primary, will serve as principal at Harnett Central High School,” the statement said. “Harnett County Schools leadership appreciates all the patience of families, students, and the community during this process. Again, we want to emphasize that Harnett County Schools supports and affirms students’ rights to express themselves — including wearing clothing expressing political messages or supporting political candidates or officeholders — in ways that are not expected to disrupt school or school events.”

Last year, a campus free speech bill passed in North Carolina focusing on state-run universities. This and other policies have resulted in the state having the most “green lit” campuses in the United States, with eight such schools — according to campus free speech organization FIRE, who crades schools green, yellow or red.

While the incident in Angier over the Trump jersey is at a high school, not a college, and the rules differ quite a bit for these schools, FIRE executive director Robert Shibling told the North State Journal that free expression in an educational environment is still important no matter the age of the student.

“Nearly 50 years ago, in a case where a student wished to wear a black armband to a public school to protest the Vietnam War, the Supreme Court affirmed that students do not lose their First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate,” Shibling told the NSJ. “While high schools retain the right to regulate clothing that causes, or could reasonably cause, a disruption to students’ education, there’s virtually no possibility that a court would find this particular request to be reasonable — and it appears that the Harnett County school system agrees.”

The Collins family indicates they are not planning to take any legal action on the matter.

Every year at the fair, the most outrageous food gets attention.

One year it was the Krispy Kreme burger — it’s available again this year and comes in at 1,500 calories. This year though, the chatter was about “unicorn bacon.” This is a skewer of thick-cut bacon painted with melted purple icing and sprinkled with sweet cereal pieces.

“I’m not sure about that,” said Abby Ray of Raleigh, who took a bite and decided to pass on it.

There are also some new attractions this year including an alligator wrestler and the Canine Stars

Busch loss raises questions about NASCAR officiating Caution-filled finish at Talladega has some claiming conspiracy

By Shawn Krest North State Journal TALLADEGA, Ala. — Kurt Busch is not the most sympathetic figure. When he loses a race he was one turn away from winning because he ran out of gas, few likely felt sorry for him.

Then came his post-race assessment in which he criticized NASCAR for blowing two calls that led to him being short on fuel. Because the complaints came from Busch, a polarizing driver with past bad behavior, he didn’t get the condolences he felt he deserved.

There are conspiracy theorists who believe NASCAR officiated the end of Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway in a way that put Busch in position to lose. Of course, the scoring tower could not guarantee Busch would run out of fuel while leading through the final turn in overtime, but his criticism deserves a look.

Busch led a race-high 108 laps as the strongest car in the Stewart-Haas Racing lineup. He led his three other teammates all day as the SHR group had the field covered. The four SHR Fords had a healthy lead on the competition

when Alex Bowman brought out the caution that sent the race into overtime.

The SHR cars were already conserving fuel, and those additional laps drained their gas tanks to nearly bone dry. Why? Well, NASCAR didn’t red-flag the race after Bowman’s crash and instead ran five laps under the yellow flag.

That’s 13.3 extra miles around Talladega with fuel lights flickering.

Just one fewer lap under caution and Busch doesn’t run out of gas — and likely wins the race.

Instead, he led the field to green in overtime — an additional two more laps around the 2.66-mile track — as teammate Kevin Harvick forfeited the gamble and ducked to pit road for gas.

Like many, Busch wondered why there were so many caution laps and why the race wasn’t stopped for a cleanup. Then came another accident, while he was still leading in overtime, and NASCAR did not call a caution. Had the yellow been called on that final lap, Busch probably would have won the race.

Instead, he was still hard on the gas for the final 2 miles and his tank finally went dry with the checkered flag in sight. SHR teammate Aric Almirola slid past Busch’s sputtering car for the win.

RALEIGH — The folks at ESPN GameDay are heading to Pullman, Wash., on Saturday to soak up the atmosphere surrounding a game between Washington State and Oregon rather than going to Death Valley for the ACC Atlantic Division showdown between No. 3 Clemson and No. 15 NC State.

They’re in the minority when it comes to hyping the battle between two of the nation’s eight remaining unbeaten college football teams.

There’s so much riding on the outcome, especially for the Wolfpack, that State’s usually understated coach Dave Doeren isn’t even bothering to try to downplay its significance.

“This is why you work your butt off as a staff, just like our players do, and you want to be in this position where you’re playing for a lot, against another team that’s playing for a lot,” Doeren said Monday at his regular weekly press conference. “This is what it’s all about.

“It’s about elevating our program and it’s about doing something that we haven’t been able to do as a coach, as a player yet. All of those things matter to us, to them. That’s why you work so hard.”

While Clemson has been a stumbling block preventing many of its ACC rivals from achieving their goals over the decade since coach Dabo Swinney took over the program, it has been a particular albatross around the Wolfpack’s neck.

State (5-0, 2-0 ACC) has beaten the Tigers only once over the past 14 meetings — in 2011 — and hasn’t won at Death Valley since a 38-6 victory in 2002.

The past two years have been especially heart-wrenching.

In 2016, the Wolfpack had the defending national champions all lined up for an upset of epic proportions until kicker Kyle Bambard shanked a 33-yard field goal attempt on the final play of regulation.

Clemson then went on to win the game in overtime.

Then last season, with a chance to dethrone the Tigers as Atlantic Division champions and earn a shot at its first ACC football championship since 1979, State failed to get over the hump again in a 38-31 loss that wasn’t decided until the game’s final possession.

While quarterback Ryan Finley wouldn’t classify the close losses as the toughest of his three-year career at State, saying “they’re all pretty tough,” he did say that beating Clemson was high on his to-do list of before he leaves at the end of this season.

“Obviously Clemson is one we’ve got circled,” Finley said. “We’re excited to go over there and play.”

The anticipation has been building through an open date that allowed the Wolfpack to heal some of its physical ailments and work on cleaning up the mistakes that made its most recent game against Boston College much closer than it should have been.

Whatever advantage NC State might have gotten from the additional week of preparation, however, was offset by the fact that the Tigers (5-0, 3-0) didn’t play last week either.

Blue Devils get physical for tough ACC run Duke, which outmuscled Georgia Tech’s triple-option attack last week, hosts Virginia on Saturday

By Shawn Krest North State Journal DURHAM — Duke coach David Cutcliffe knew that his team had a tough, physical win over Georgia Tech last weekend, with a date against a tough, physical Virginia team coming up.

The Blue Devils were hurting, with several players nursing injuries. As the season approaches the halfway point, it was perhaps time to consider the toll the first half has taken on his team.

“You know what I did to let them know how we’re going to respond?” the veteran coach asked rhetorically. “We went out and had our most physical Tuesday practice. That’s how you respond.”

In other words, Cutcliffe isn’t worried about whether his team can recover from Saturday’s battle and be ready for another one this week.

“They’ve better respond pretty well,” he said, “because look what next week’s going to be — a very physical game. Look at the next week — a very physical game.”

As an example, Cutcliffe pointed out the day the offensive line had. Three days earlier, the line had fought hard to scrap for just under 100 yards rushing and struggled to protect quarterback Daniel Jones, who was sacked four times.

On Tuesday, it was time to work.

“We ran an interior team run drill early (in practice),” Cutcliffe said.

The drill is an old-school competition pitting the offensive and defensive lines against each other in trench warfare.

“They say the average football play lasts about five seconds. You try pushing on something that weighs 300 pounds and is pushing back on you for five seconds.”

At the end of the drill, Cutcliffe was pleased, but not satisfied.

“I thought they responded well,” he said. “We went down there with the focus on finishing.”

Duke running back Deon Jackson is tackled by Georgia Tech linebacker Brant Mitchell, center, and defensive back Malik Rivera, right, right, during the Blue Devils’ 28-14 win Saturday.

Then the horn sounded for the next practice period “We followed that up immediately with a blitz period,” he said.

After several minutes of pounding against big bodies inside, now the tired linemen had to move quickly to stop smaller, faster defenders who had a head of steam.

“The cornerback is coming. The safety’s coming. The linebacker’s coming,” Cutcliffe said. “They’re picking up blitzes. They’re battling.”

Near the end of practice, Cutcliffe checked back with his linemen.

“I saw (centers) Zach Harmon and Jack Wohlabaugh,” he said.

“They were standing in a puddle, almost, they were so wet. That’s a good day’s work. That made me

smile, to be honest with you.”

What warmed the wily old coach’s heart even more was what he heard from the players in reaction to it — nothing.

“No complaints,” he said. “They just went out there and went to work. … That’s what you do — you go out there and go to work.”

The fact that this week’s opponent is Virginia — a team that’s beaten Duke each of the last three years — may have something to do with the grueling practices this week.

“Our seniors could leave here without having a win,” Cutcliffe said. “And we’ve played well against them. You ask why it’s happened.

You mention turnovers. You’ve got to correct it in practice. I would tell

you we haven’t tackled as well as we should have at times against Virginia. You’d better correct it if you don’t want it to happen. You have to limit explosive plays, which we’ve given up some over this three-year span.”

Instead of focusing on the recent history, however, Cutcliffe wants the team focused on the immediate future.

“Those games have nothing to do with (this week),” he said. “There’s no — quote — streaks, unless you don’t change the style of play. It’s not a matter of making your mind up that we’re going to play better. It’s a matter of preparing, practicing, focusing on the things that give you a chance to win. Then, when you get into the ballgame, you’ll likely have to find a way to win in the fourth

quarter.”

Throughout the season, Cutcliffe has emphasized the point that his team will need to scratch and claw each week, and he’s concocting brutal practice plans to hammer it home.

He hopes his players are seeing the results.

“I thought we were the most physical team in Atlanta,” he said.

“To be honest, that’s why we won that game.”

That gives the Blue Devils the opportunity to try to be the most physical team again this week.

“If you think you can run from it, there’s no measure for that,” he said.

“You run to it. The best way to play in a physical game is to be the most physical one in the game.”

Preview: The Tar Heels (1-4, 1-2) played one of their best games in two years only to lose in the final minute against Virginia Tech. Syracuse (4-2, 1-2 ACC) is coming off a bye week.

Preview: The 49ers (3-3, 2-1 CUSA) are coming off a win against Western Kentucky and have an opportunity to go over .500 for the first time since the second game of the 2015 season.

Players to watch: Syracuse QB Eric Dungey has averaged 292.3 yards of total offense per game over his career, fourth-best among active players.

True freshman QB Cade Fortin gave UNC back the threat of the deep ball, but his status is unsure after suffering an injury late in the first half.

Players to watch: MTSU QB Brent Stockstill is questionable after injuring his left ankle in last week’s loss to Florida International. His backup, Asher O’Hara, was 9 of 20 for 114 yards and an interception.

LB Darius Harris leads the Blue Raiders with 47 tackles, to go along with three sacks. Charlotte RB Bennie LeMay rushed for 121 yards and two TDs in last week’s 40-14 win against WKU while LB Juwan Foggie earned CUSA Defensive Player of the Week honors with two interceptions and eight tackles.

Fast fact: Syracuse and UNC have never played an ACC game against each other, but they’re not the last two ACC teams to play. Pitt and Wake will face off for the first time in the conference on Nov. 17, and Louisville will play Virginia Tech next season.

What to expect: Carolina hasn’t shown consistency since Mitch Trubisky was throwing passes for them.

If the Heels can put together back-to-back good games, it will be a major step forward.

— Shawn Krest

Fast fact: This is MTSU’s homecoming. The Blue Raiders are 17-3 in their last 20 Conference USA home games.

What to expect: The 49ers are vastly improved and lead CUSA defending the run, but winning on the road against a team whose strength is throwing the ball might be too tall a task for coach Brad Lambert’s team.

Appalachian State vs. Louisiana Lafayette Kidd Brewer Stadium Saturday, 3:30 p.m.

ESPN+ Preview: App State has won four straight since a season-opening loss at Penn State. The Ragin’ Cajuns have won back-to-back games to turn around a 1-3 start.

Players to watch: A week after Louisiana RB Elijah Mitchell won Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week, QB Andre Nunez took the honor, throwing a schoolrecord five touchdown passes. With 14 tackles and a sack, App State LB Jordan Fehr took the Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week award.

Fast fact: While this year’s game is at App State, Louisiana plays its home games in a stadium nicknamed “The Swamp.” The field is 2 feet below sea level, and fans walk down to their seats after entering the stadium. The Ragin’ Cajuns’ original football field is now an actual swamp in the middle of campus.

What to expect: The Mountaineers should be able to keep their Sun Belt Conference run going, albeit against a solid opponent.

Preview: The Deacons (3-3, 0-2 ACC) and Seminoles (3-3, 3-1) are both coming off open dates after losing their most recent games.

Preview: Most schools schedule a homecoming opponent they know they can beat so the alumni will be happy. ECU (2-4, 0-3 AAC) decided to schedule its homecoming against a team whose 19-game winning streak is the nation’s longest.

Players to watch: The status of Wake WR/KR Greg Dortch, who leads the ACC with a 176.2 all-purpose yards per game, is uncertain because of an ankle injury suffered two weeks ago against Clemson. CB Essang Bassey leads the Deacons in tackles with 39 and ranks third in the ACC in passes defended. FSU QB Deondre Francois ranks second in the ACC in passing yards at 251 yards per game. DE Brian Burns leads the conference with three forced fumbles.

Fast fact: Before getting hurt on a punt return, Dortch became the fastest Wake player ever to record 100 career catches. He did it in just 14 games, eight fewer than the previous record of John Henry Mills from 1989-92.

Players to watch: Prized freshman QB Holton Ahlers will make his first career start for the Pirates after going 11 of 18 for 137 yards and a TD in a relief role last week. DE Nate Harvey has 8.5 sacks, 2.5 fewer than the entire Pirates team had last season.

UCF QB McKenzie Milton torched ECU for 324 passing yards in last year’s 62-21 win. S Richie Grant leads the Knights (6-0, 3-0) in both tackles (54) and interceptions (3).

Fast fact: The Pirates have won 12 straight homecoming games. Their most recent loss was a 30-20 setback to UCF in 2005.

What to expect: The Seminoles have shown steady improvement after a shaky start, going 2-1 with a one-point loss to rival Miami in their last three games, while the Deacons have been outscored 16064 on their three losses this season.

What to expect: ECU should get an infusion of energy with the much-anticipated elevation of Ahlers to a starting role, but it will need more than that to overcome a team with its sights set on a second straight unbeaten season.

Hornets hope Spurs pedigree rubs off

GUARDS

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal THE SAN ANTONIO Spurs have been the NBA’s model franchise for the past two decades,

making the playoffs every year since 1998 with five league championships along the way. So when the Charlotte Hornets decided to make a change this summer, it’s no surprise that they went with a blueprint similar to that of the Spurs.

Starting with the hiring of their new coach.

James Borrego spent nine seasons as an assistant in San Antonio learning at the side of Gregg Popovich, the architect of the Spurs’ success and a future Hall of Famer.

One of the first things he did was bring veteran point guard Tony

Parker along with him. He then installed an attacking, up-tempo system that puts an emphasis on spacing, ball movement and 3-point shooting to augment the talents of All-Star point guard Kemba Walker.

“The staff is completely different,” said veteran forward Marvin Williams. “They have different philosophies and visions of how the team should play. We’re trying to adapt to that now. They’re trying to feel us out, we’re trying to feel them out. It’s going to be a work in progress.”

“We’re trying to adapt to that now. They’re trying to feel us out, we’re trying to feel them out. It’s going to be a work in progress.”

Marvin Williams on new coach James Borrego’s system In order to speed up the pace, Borrego has had his team practic-

ing with a 12-second shot clock, half of what it will see once the regular season begins Wednesday against Milwaukee.

So far, the results have been positive, with three wins in the first four exhibition games and an offense averaging 112 points per game.

“J.B. wants to play fast. He wants (to look for a shot) in less than 10 seconds and a lot of 3s,” Parker said.

“That came naturally (in San Antonio) because we moved the ball.

Last year, this team was in the bottom in moving the ball. I think I can definitely help with that.”

The date of the NBA AllStar Game to be played at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte. The game was originally supposed to be played there in 2017, but it was moved to New Orleans because of North Carolina’s controversial “bathroom bill” known as H.B. 2. The only previous All-Star Game to be held in Charlotte was 1991 at the Hornets’ former home, Charlotte Coliseum.

The number of playoff appearances the current incarnation of the Hornets/Bobcats have made in their 14-season history (2010, 2014, 2016).

Number of wins the Hornets have achieved in each of the past two seasons.

11 James Borrego is the 11th head coach in franchise history.

6-8, 200, France

Last season: The former Kentucky star struggled through a rookie season in which he averaged only 13 minutes per game under former coach Steve Clifford. He scored just 6.7 points per game and shot a spotty 36 percent from the floor, leading some to label the first round pick a draft bust.

Last season: Batum injured his elbow during the preseason and decided to play through it instead of undergoing season-ending surgery. It’s a decision that led him to post the worst numbers of his three-year tenure in Charlotte. He still averaged 11. 6 points, 5.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds, but that wasn’t enough of a payoff, considering his $22 million annual salary.

9,907 The number of career points scored by All-Star point guard Kemba Walker, the most ever in franchise history.

COOPER NEILL | AP PHOTO

What to expect in 2018-19: Batum is healthy again. But considering the wealth of talent at the small forward position, he’s going to have to work to continue playing a major role.

6-5, 185, UConn

7 • Dwayne Bacon

Last season: Lamb is coming off his best season as a pro, in which he averaged 12.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 37 percent from 3-point range. His average jumped to 15.6 points per game in the 18 games he started.

6-7, 221, Florida State Last season: Bacon saw limited action during his rookie season, averaging 3.3 points and 2.3 rebounds while shooting just 37.5 percent from the floor in just under 14 minutes per game.

What to expect in 2018-19: Lamb, who is in his contract year, has the potential to thrive in Borrego’s system, which puts a heavier emphasis on the 3-point shot. He led the team with 15 points in its preseason opener against the Boston Celtics in Chapel Hill.

What to expect in 2018-19: Based on a solid preseason performance, in which he posted two double-figure scoring efforts in his first three games, Bacon is in line to see more significant minutes this year. How significant could depend on which forward position first round pick Miles Bridges settles into.

4 • Devonte Graham* 6-2, 185, Kansas

14 • Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

Last season: Graham was drafted in the second round by the Atlanta Hawks before being traded to the Hornets for two future second round picks. The Raleigh native averaged six assists per game during the NBA’s summer league after helping the Jayhawks to the Final Four last season.

6-7, 232, Kentucky Last season: Kidd-Gilchrist started 74 games at small forward last season, but he was something of a disappointment based on pedestrian offensive numbers of 9.2 points, and 1.0 assists per game.

What to expect in 2018-19: Graham is being groomed as a point guard of the future and a possible replacement should Walker move on as a free agent after this season. He will likely spend some time, if not most of the season, with the Hornets’ G-League affiliate in Greensboro.

What to expect in 2018-19: Kidd-Gilchrist will continue to have a role under Borrego because of his defensive abilities. But with veterans such as Nic Batum and Dwayne Bacon, along with first round draft pick Miles Bridges all vying for playing time at his position, Kidd-Gilchrist’s most likely role is that of a reserve power forward.

9 • Tony Parker 6-2, 185, France

44 • Frank Kaminsky

Last season: The future Hall of Famer, who is third among active players with 6,829 career assists, signed as a free agent this summer after spending 17 seasons with the Spurs. He is coming off a season in which he posted careerlows of 7.7 points, 3.5 assists and 19.5 minutes per game.

Last season: The ninth overall pick in the 2015 draft, Kaminsky averaged just over 11 points per game coming off the bench while playing both power forward and center.

7-0, 242, Wisconsin

What to expect in 2018-19: Parker is a low-risk addition to back up Walker at point guard, serve as a mentor to younger teammates and be an experienced leader with championship pedigree in the event the Hornets make it to the playoffs.

What to expect in 2018-19: Kaminsky is still trying to find his niche with the Hornets. Although his 42.9 shooting percentage last season was his career high, it’s still low for a stretch four while his 4.1 rebounding average over his first three NBA seasons is less than what’s needed from a low post presence.

15 • Kemba Walker

CENTERS

6-1, 184, UConn

8 • Bismack Biyombo

Last season: Now in his eighth season, Walker solidified his status as one of the NBA’s premier point guards in 201718 by leading the Hornets in both scoring (22.1 points per game) and assists (5.6) while surpassing Dell Curry as the franchise’s all-time leading scorer.

What to expect in 2018-19: Even though Walker’s stats are likely to decrease this season with the addition of new scoring options and the more balanced approach employed by new coach Borrego, he will continue to be the team’s unquestioned leader in the final season of his current contract.

FORWARDS

0 • Miles Bridges* 6-7, 225, Michigan State Last season: A first-team All-American as a sophomore at Michigan State, Bridges averaged 17.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists while shooting 45.7 percent from the floor and 36.4 percent from 3-point range.

What to expect in 2018-19: The Hornets obtained Bridges in a draft night trade after he was picked 12th overall by the Los Angeles Clippers. He is poised to make an immediate impact as either a small forward or power forward after averaging 12.3 points, 5.8 rebounds while shooting 56 percent from the floor in four preseason games.

He averaged 9.5 points and 4.7 rebounds per game.

What to expect in 2018-19: Williams will begin the season as one of the Hornets’ starting forwards, but he could potentially end up coming off the bench depending on the development of the team’s younger big men.

6-9, 255, Zaire Last season: A former lottery pick who played his first four seasons with the Hornets, Biyombo averaged 5.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocked shots per game for the Orlando Magic in 2017-18.

What to expect in 2018-19: Biyombo and his fouryear, $68 million contract were brought back to Charlotte to provide insurance in case the injury-prone Zeller goes down again. Even if that doesn’t happen, the popular big man will have a role off the bench as an experienced defender and dependable rim protector.

40 • Cody Zeller 7-0, 240, Indiana Last season: Limited to just 33 games because of two knee injuries and a role off the bench when he was healthy because of the addition of Dwight Howard, Zeller averaged just 7.1 points and 5.4 rebounds.

What to expect in 2018-19: Zeller returns to the starting lineup after a solid preseason in which his skill around the basket and midrange game have given the Hornets’ offense a dimension they lacked a year ago. The biggest question is whether he can stay healthy after missing 94 games over the past four seasons.

41 • Willy Hernangomez 6-11, 240, Spain Last season: Hernangomez was acquired in a February trade that sent two second round draft choices and seldomused forward Johnny O’Bryant to the Knicks. He averaged 6.1 points and 5.3 rebounds in 22 games with Charlotte.

What to expect in 2018-19: Hernangomez has averaged 12.5 points and 5.5 rebounds this preseason, showing the form that helped him earn NBA All-Rookie team status in 2016-17. With his low post skill and ability to knock down 3-point shots, he has a chance to be a useful asset in Borrego’s new system. * indicates rookie

B6 BUSCH from page B1 NASCAR at the end,” Busch said. “Why did we have an extra yellow flag lap is beyond me — the track was ready to go.”

Busch also blasted the decision not to call a caution for the final accident.

“There was two cars dead in the water,” Busch said of NASCAR’s need to call a caution and send a medical crew to the disabled vehicles.

Busch left Talladega with a 14th-place finish. A victory would have put him into the third round of the playoffs, but that berth instead went to Almirola.

NASCAR’s Steve O’Donnell waited until Monday to address Busch’s criticism and was adamant the sanctioning body was correct in its officiating.

The head of NASCAR competition said the race was nothing at all like the Truck Series event a day earlier, when that event ended under caution because of a late accident.

“Two different races and every race is different,” O’Donnell said during his weekly appearance on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “Every call is a judgment call. The (incident) on Saturday was in front of the field. ... We always want to try to end under green, but in that case we just felt like we couldn’t. Then on Sunday, very similar in terms of a car hitting the wall, but where it happened was different and in terms of where the field was.”

In other words, because the accident Sunday was behind the leaders, NASCAR preferred to let the drivers race to the finish under green. But that’s a judgment call and one that cost Busch, an unpopular driver with NASCAR brass, an important victory.

The Truck Series race the day before wasn’t NASCAR’s finest moment, either. For at least 15 minutes after the race, the pylon, timing and scoring, and NASCAR’s official website all listed Wendell Chavous as the winner. But Chavous was actually fifth and Timothy Peters was the race winner. Chavous thought he won until he learned all the statistics were incorrect, and NASCAR simply moved on to the next race as if nothing bizarre had happened.

Panthers’ Moore rebounds from tough day First-round pick had two fumbles in Carolina’s loss at Washington

By Shawn Krest North State Journal WASHINGTON — When the Carolina Panthers drafted D.J. Moore in the first round a few months ago, they knew they were getting a player with the ability to make plays. Scouting reports on Moore said that he was dangerous with the ball in his hands and able to get yards after the catch (known as YAC) by weaving through the defense.

On Sunday, Moore’s strength backfired on him and may have cost his team the game in Washington.

“They like those RPO (runpass option plays),” said Redskins corner Josh Norman. “They dive it down to the running back or throw that quick slant, and 12 (Moore’s uniform number), he just kept running with the ball. I guess he was drinking off the YAC.” Norman, a former Panther who left the team after a contentious contract negotiation and reveled in the chance to knock off his old squad, saw the chance to make a veteran play on the eager rookie.

“I saw him and came up,” Norman said, then shook his head.

“He never saw me. He never saw me.”

Norman punched the ball loose.

“Those are the plays I go back to,” he said. “The ones I want to make. I saw it and just captured my moment. The ball came out.

I tried to find it, but one of the (Washington) guys recovered it.”

The Skins went on to get a field goal to give themselves a 17-point lead.

“You can’t put yourself in a hole like that,” Carolina coach Ron Rivera said. “We had three turnovers in the first half that resulted in 10 points. Two of those, we were moving the ball into the scoring zone.”

Moore was responsible for one of the other first-half turnovers as well, coughing up the ball while — of course — weaving through defenders to try to pick up extra yards on a punt return.

“It’s an experience thing,” Rivera said, “because I’m sure in col-

Panthers rookie receiver D.J. Moore is learning, sometimes the hard way, when to take chances. lege, he broke a lot of those plays, which we did see on tape (before the draft). It’s knowing that, when you’re surrounded, when there’s a lot of population around you, you’ve got to protect the football, and I promise you, he’ll learn that.”

While the learning experience came at a high cost for the team, the Panthers players were supportive of Moore.

“Y’all are making a big deal out of nothing,” said fellow receiver Devin Funchess. “He’s good, and when we go play Philly, he’s going to turn up. That’s just what it is.”

Some of the veterans quickly took Moore aside to make sure he didn’t get down on himself, knowing the Panthers would need him to contribute later this season, if not in the game.

“I’ve made so many mistakes, I can give him a whole playbook of mistakes,” said veteran receiver Torrey Smith. “The mistake doesn’t override all the good things you do. I told him it’s not about what happens to you, it’s how you overcome it.

“The only guys that don’t make mistakes are the guys that don’t play.”

Greg Olsen, Panthers tight end

“He did a great job. I’m so proud of him, the way he handled himself, the way he came back and made big plays for us at the end.

It’s something you move on from.

We lost. We all made mistakes this game, not just D.J.” Moore went on to catch four balls for 59 yards in the game and add another 18 on a rush. He produced three first downs on his five touches.

“It doesn’t define who you are, unless you let it,” said tight end Greg Olsen, who returned from a broken foot suffered on opening day, in the loss. “I think you saw how he responded the next couple times.”

The fact that Moore was on the field, getting the chance to make those plays showed the young player the confidence that coaches had in him. And the fact that the ball kept coming his way showed that his quarterback did, too.

“That’s very important,” Rivera said of the team’s willingness to give Moore additional chances. “Whether we target him as the primary receiver or not, being on field is probably the most important thing. Cam (Newton) is the one who targets, and he targeted D.J. five times and had four completions. That’s big. In certain situations, you need to know to protect the football. (Sunday), he was victimized by a guy that knows how to do it.”

And after that happened, he shook it off.

“That’s what you’re judged on,” said Olsen. “The only guys that don’t make mistakes are the guys that don’t play. I think young guys realize that pretty quickly in the league. You’d rather be the guys that play and sometimes fight through some stuff.”

Hurricanes may have found both a No. 1 center and a top line Trio of Sebastian Aho centering Teuvo Teravainen and Micheal Ferland has been hot to start 2018-19

By Cory Lavalette North State Journal RALEIGH — Outside of the perennial questions surrounding the goaltending, there was no bigger concern coming into the Carolina Hurricanes’ 2018-19 season opener than the team’s depth at center.

The team took another blow — or, ahem, cut — when one of its two experienced centers, Victor Rask, was lost indefinitely after requiring surgery following a kitchen accident involving a sweet potato, a knife and some bad luck.

That left veteran Jordan Staal as Carolina’s only experienced NHL center. Rookies Martin Necas — he of one game of North American experience — and AHL standout Lucas Wallmark were set to man the bottom two slots in the middle, and third-year pro Sebastian Aho was thrown into the fire to see if he was ready for a fulltime move to center.

Less than two weeks later, the Hurricanes seem to have not only found the answer on Aho’s ability to play center, but the team may finally have a real first line.

Heading into Tuesday’s game at Tampa Bay, Aho ranked tied for third in NHL scoring with 11 points and tied with Chicago captain Jonathan Toews for second in even-strength points with nine, with both trailing only red-hot Auston Matthews (11).

“His play coming right into camp, he just looked like a different player,” Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour said Tuesday morning. “That year of maturity … another offseason behind him to train and just grow into his body

a little bit. He looks a little bit like he’s a different man than he was last year.”

Not that last year’s version Aho, or even the rookie installment from 2016-17, was a disappointment.

After a first season in which he had 25 goals and 29 assists, Aho followed it up last year by leading Carolina in scoring with 65 points, including 29 goals. He did that despite taking 16 games to register his first goal last year — an issue he also had as a rookie when he took 13 games to find the net.

With added responsibility at center, Aho didn’t wait until the second week of November to get his first goal as he had the previous two seasons.

“He got a goal early. That just kind of alleviated all that ‘no goals in October’ thing and freed him up,” Brind’Amour said.

Further helping Aho’s transition is his chemistry with linemate and countryman Teuvo Teravainen. The Finnish duo spent most of last season together and finished 1-2 in team scoring, with Teravainen leading Carolina with a career-high 41 assists and also personal bests for goals (23) and points (64).

With just one goal through the six games (an empty-net power play goal in the 8-5 win over the Rangers Oct. 7), Teravainen is still in search of his scoring touch, but the 24-year-old Finn has five assists and is a plus-5.

The newcomer to the line is power forward Micheal Ferland.

Ferland — acquired from the Calgary Flames, along with Dougie Hamilton, at this summer’s NHL Draft — brings size and snarl to complement his Finnish linemates’ style and dazzle.

“He’s just a big body out there,” Aho said of the 6-foot-2, 208-pound Ferland. “He creates so much space on the ice. And, you

Hurricanes players celebrate after Micheal Ferland (79) scored on Winnipeg Jets goaltender Laurent Brossoit (30) during the third period of Sunday’s game in Winnipeg. know, he can make some plays. I think he’s way more skilled than people think he is.”

Ferland is off to a good start himself, with three goals and three assists through the weekend.

But beyond the numbers, Ferland provides a much-needed physicality to team that has lacked it most of the time in recent seasons.

“Being hard on their D and going hard to the net, taking the D-man to the net, try to create room for them,” Ferland said of his role in creating space for his linemates.

And if anyone should take liberties with the Hurricanes’ undersized stars?

“They know I’m out there for them to help them out if they ever need that,” he added.

Most impressively, perhaps, is the Hurricanes as a whole don’t seem satisfied with their 4-1-1 start, with Brind’Amour’s constant reminder that the team has much to improve on trickling down and out of his players’ mouth.

“I think we can still be a lot better,” Teravainen said. “I‘m not happy with how we’re playing, but it’s a good start still.”

B7 Bernhard Langer won the SAS Championship at Prestonwood Country Club in Cary last weekend, the second time he’s won the PGA Tour Champions’ tournament.

PHOTO COURTESY OF SAS CHAMPIONSHIP

Langer wins SAS Championship by 6 shots PGA Tour Champions make annual stop in Cary The Associated Press CARY — Bernhard Langer ran away with the SAS Championship on Sunday to take the points lead into the PGA Tour Champions’ Charles Schwab Cup playoffs.

Langer shot a bogey-free 7-under 65 for a six-stroke victory in the regular-season finale.

“I just played very solid all day long,” Langer said. “Putted well, hit the ball where I was looking and did everything exceptionally well.”

The 61-year-old German star has 38 victories on the 50-andover tour, also winning this year near Houston. He has a record four victories after turning 60.

“I don’t have anything to prove, but I still have golf,” Langer said.

“I still want to improve my own

game. I still want to play to the best Bernhard Langer can play.

I don’t think I need to prove anything, but I love competing, I love winning or being in the hunt. As long as I can do that, I think you’re going to see me out here.”

Langer finished with a tournament-record 22-under 194 total at Prestonwood Country Club, the tree-lined layout softened by heavy rain Thursday from Hurricane Michael. He opened with a 62 on Friday to match Gene Sauers and Tom Lehman for the lead, and he then had a 67 on Saturday to remain atop the leaderboard with Sauers.

“The 10-under was amazing,” Langer said. “I couldn’t believe there were two other guys who shot 10-under.”

The four-time Charles Schwab Cup winner also won at Prestonwood in 2012.

“It’s always fun to go back to where you’ve won before because

you feel like you know how to play the course and you’re somewhat comfortable and that’s certainly the case here,” Langer said. “I’ve been probably 50, 70 times now around this golf course and I know how to play every hole.”

Scott Parel was second, closing with a double bogey for a 65.

“Bernhard is just in his own world this week,” Parel said.

Jerry Kelly had a 68 to finish third at 15 under, and Lehman followed at 13 under after a 71.

Sauers shot a 75 to tie for fifth with Miguel Angel Jimenez (68) at 12 under.

The top 72 players in the Schwab Cup standings qualified for the playoffs, the three-event series that begins next week with the Dominion Energy Charity Classic in Richmond, Virginia. Dan Forsman tied for 56th to jump from 74th to 72nd, edging John Huston for the final spot by $932. Huston tied for 46th.

“I’ve been probably 50, 70 times now around this golf course and I know how to play every hole.”

NC STATE from page B1 ing for any kind of extra edge.

“They’re another team. They strap up like we strap up,” the junior wide receiver said. “As long as we give our best, I think we’ve got a shot with anybody.”

With an offense led by the ACC’s leading passer and a defense that has exceeded all expectations through the first half of the season, not to mention a kicker (Chris Dunn) capable of making routine field goals, this could be the Wolfpack’s best chance for a while to knock off the Tigers and pursue its first conference championship since 1979.

That doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy.

Not only does Clemson lead the league in fewest points allowed at 14.5 per game, but it also ranks second in points scored with an average of 42.2 behind the passing of freshman Trevor Lawrence and the explosive running of Travis Etienne.

The key to beating the Tigers, Doeren said, is to match their physicality, avoid getting rattled by the crowd and taking advantage of opportunities when they’re presented.

“We put ourselves in places to win some of those close games, particularly against Clemson, and they’ve made the plays at the end that we needed to make,” the Wolfpack coach said. “That’s really what it’s about, it’s finding a way to finish somebody off, whether it’s on defense or offense or special teams with that key play.”

Even if State is able finish what it starts this time around, it will still have work left to do to win the Atlantic and advance the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte on Dec. 1. But with the rest of the division struggling, especially traditional power Florida State, the Wolfpack would have a clear inside track toward a goal nearly four decades in the making.

“I think all seniors across the country would say that they want to leave a legacy behind that they can be proud of,” Doeren said.

“Doing something that you haven’t done yet is always a part of that. When you talk about raising the bar, it’s something that these guys want to be able to say they did.”

Greensboro, N.C. — A new competitive grant program will support local efforts to meet workforce challenges, Governor Roy Cooper announced last week at the NCWorks Partnership Conference in Greensboro. The NCWorks Local Innovation Fund is part of Cooper’s NC Job Ready Initiative for getting North Carolina’s workforce ready for the jobs of today and tomorrow.

The $2 million fund will give grants to communities to pilot innovative programs or adapt and replicate successful programs that address local or regional workforce issues.

The NC Job Ready workforce initiative is built on three core principles: skills and education attainment so North Carolinians are ready for jobs available now and in the future, employer leadership to remain relevant to evolving industry needs, and local innovation to take great ideas and apply them statewide. The NCWorks Local Innovation Fund will help local ideas take shape and scale existing programs to reach more job seekers and businesses.

The NCWorks Local Innovation Fund will support projects that do one or more of the following: address an underserved community or population currently disconnected from the education and workforce system; bring together diverse community organizations; increase educational attainment; and develop talent pipelines for in-demand, high-wage occupations.

To be eligible for grants, community teams must include the local workforce development board and should also include education, community, labor and business leaders.

TORONTO and RALEIGH — GFL Environmental Inc. (“GFL”) and Waste Industries announced last week that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement in a transaction that values Waste Industries at a total enterprise value of $2.825 billion. The transaction, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018, is subject to customary regulatory approvals.

Following its recapitalization completed in May 2018, GFL is one of the largest environmental services companies in North America. Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, GFL is a diversified environmental services company providing a comprehensive line of solid waste, infrastructure and soil remediation and liquid waste management services through its platform of facilities across Canada and in Michigan. GFL has a workforce of more than 6,000 employees and provides environmental services to more than 60,000 commercial and industrial customers and its solid waste collection services to more than 2.3 million households.

Since its founding by the Poole family in 1970, Waste Industries has grown to become the premier independent, vertically integrated solid waste management company in the Southeastern United States. The company currently operates in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Colorado, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware, employs more than 2,850 people, services more than 77,000 commercial and industrial customers and provides residential solid waste collection services to approximately 1.6 million households.

When combined with GFL’s existing solid waste operations, GFL and Waste Industries will become the largest privately owned environmental services company in North America with operations in all Canadian provinces except Prince Edward Island and in 10 states in the United

“These companies complement each other in multiple ways …The combination with GFL provides a very bright future for our team, and the Poole family is proud to continue its investment through this combination with North America’s true industry leader GFL.” Ven Poole, Chairman and CEO, Waste Industries States. The combined company will operate 98 collection operations, 59 transfer stations, 29 material recovery facilities, 10 organics facilities and 47 landfills, and will have more than 8,850 employees. Patrick Dovigi will continue to be the President and CEO of the combined company.

“Waste Industries will more than double GFL’s current footprint of operations in the United States, adding collection, transfer station, materials recovery and landfill operations in fast growing United States markets (including North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Colorado, Tennessee, Virginia and others), growing our customer base and forming an extended platform from which GFL can continue to execute on our proven organic and acquisition growth strategy”, said Patrick Dovigi, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of GFL. “Waste Industries strongly complements GFL’s brand with an over 47 year history of providing excellent customer service to its local communities and has a management team with a proven track record of harnessing technology, processes and systems to drive operating efficiencies. We are excited to welcome the management team and the more than 2,850 employees of Waste Industries to the GFL family.”

Pit-Cooked Barbecue Is A Family Affair If there’s one food staple North Carolina is known for perhaps more than any other, it’s barbecue. And while the debate about which is better, vinegar-based sauce or tomato-based sauce, one barbecue eatery has carved out a niche that sets it apart from all but a handful of other barbecue joints in the entire state.

Farmville’s Jack Cobb & Son Barbecue, a legendary barbecue that started back in 1971, prepares its juicy, mouthwatering goodness the way its founder Jack Cobb did it back in the 1940’s. In a dug-out, tin-lined pit stoked with intense heat and rich smoky flavor only made possible with kindling and green wood logs.

It’s in this old-school earthen oven that Rudy Cobb places tin foil-wrapped pig within a pit covered with large panels of corrugated roofing, carefully adding glowing red coals from the hearth to cook them to precise pit barbecue perfection.

This is not the easiest way to make barbecue, but it happens to be the way Rudy was taught by his dad Jack. And he continues this tradition to honor his father’s memory. And to keep his customers who line up outside his door daily, coming back for more.

Certain shareholders, including the founding Poole family, and members of management are contributing committed capital and are expected to become shareholders of GFL in connection with the transaction. Waste Industries’ current Chairman and CEO, Ven Poole, will also join GFL’s Board of Directors upon closing of the transaction.

Scot French, Partner at HPS Investment Partners, which led the current Waste Industries shareholder group, said “I would like to thank the entire Waste Industries team for being great partners. We have a long history with GFL and we have full confidence in the opportunity for both companies together that lies ahead. We are excited to remain invested in supporting this remarkable growth story.”

Officer Changes In anticipation of the closing, GFL also announced today that Luke Pelosi has been appointed Chief Financial Officer to replace David Bacon. On the closing of the merger, Greg Yorston will take on the role of Chief Operating Officer for all of GFL’s solid waste operations in Canada and the United States. Additionally, Waste industries’ current Chairman and CEO Ven Poole will serve as a Senior Vice-President of the combined company following the transaction.

Mr. Pelosi joined GFL in January of 2015 as Executive Vice-President, Corporate Development, added the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer of GFL from February until May of 2017 and since January 2018 has been GFL’s Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Yorston has over 30 years of solid waste industry experience and has been instrumental in continuing to drive operational efficiencies since he assumed the role of COO of Waste Industries in 2013.

US eyes military bases for coal, gas exports As a “matter of national security,” Trump administration argues for making West Coast military bases available as exit points for domestic energy products into global marketplace.

By Matthew Brown The Associated Press BILLINGS, Mont. — The Trump administration is considering using West Coast military bases or other federal properties as transit points for shipments of U.S. coal and natural gas to Asia as officials seek to bolster the domestic energy industry and circumvent environmental opposition to fossil fuel exports, according to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and two Republican lawmakers.

The proposal would advance the administration’s agenda of establishing American “energy dominance” on the world stage and underscores a willingness to intervene in markets to make that happen. It’s tantamount to an end-run around West Coast officials who have rejected private-sector efforts to build new coal ports in their states.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Zinke cast the proposal as a matter of national security to ensure U.S. allies have access to affordable fuels. The Trump administration also has cited national security as justification for keeping domestic coal-burning power plants online to prevent disruptions of electricity supplies.

It’s unclear which sites are under consideration other than one in Alaska. Experts said the possibilities are constrained by the need for a deep water port.

Zinke said the administration is interested in partnering with private entities to ship coal or liquefied natural gas through naval installations or other federal facilities. He added it’s still early in the process.

“I respect the state of Washington and Oregon and California,” Zinke said. “But also, it’s in our interest for national security and our allies to make sure that they have access to affordable energy commodities.”

Accomplishing that, he said, may require the use of “some of our naval facilities, some of our federal facilities on the West Coast.”

Zinke specified only one site that could serve as an export

JULIA O’MALLEY | ALASKA DAILY NEWS VIA AP

In this April 2015 photo, the buildings of the former Adak Naval Air Facility sit vacant in Alaska. The Trump administration is considering using West Coast military bases or other federal properties as transit points for shipments of U.S. coal and natural gas to Asia. hub, for natural gas: the former Adak Naval Air Facility in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, which he suggested could receive fuel by barge from the North Slope. The base closed in 1997 and has been largely abandoned. Roughly 300 people live in the town of Adak, the westernmost community in the U.S. Zinke did not reveal government properties that could serve as potential coal ports.

Exports have been held up as a lifeline for struggling domestic coal miners since demand for the fuel started to wane a decade ago, when many power plants switched to cheaper, cleaner fuels. The West Coast offers the most economical route for shipments to Asia because of its relative proximity to the largest coal-producing region in the U.S.: the Powder River Basin, which straddles the Montana-Wyoming border.

Any export site would need access to deep waters to accommodate large ships and enough land to store fuel awaiting shipment.

Few such locations can be found on the West Coast, said Joe Aldina, a coal industry analyst with S&P Global Platts Analytics.

With the U.S. coal export market booming in recent months, Aldina said any new port established by the government would quickly fill with coal for shipment overseas. Yet with demand expected to fall over the long-term, particularly in Europe, the current high prices for coal are expected to drop.

Aldina expressed skepticism that government intervention could make much difference.

“Like everything else the

Trump administration has tried to do, it’s a long shot whether some of these things will work, and it’s questionable whether they will really help the market,” he said, adding prices and fuel quality are the main drivers of coal markets, not government policies.

Resistance to exports — rooted in worries about air pollution, climate change and rail safety — and changing market conditions have resulted in six proposed coal ports in Washington and Oregon being rejected or shelved. A $680 million project in Longview, Washington, was denied a key permit last year by state regulators who said it would increase greenhouse gas emissions and cause “significant and unavoidable harm to the environment.”

That’s brought a backlash from elected officials in coal-producing states, who have blasted Washington Gov. Jay Inslee in particular. They argue the rejection of the Longview port, sponsored by Utah-based Lighthouse Resources, violated the commerce clause in the Constitution that says only Congress has the power to regulate international and interstate trade.

Montana, Wyoming and four other states joined Lighthouse Resources in a lawsuit challenging the rejection of the company’s Millennium Bulk Terminals port, which could handle up to 48.5 million tons (44 million metric tons) of coal a year.Rep. Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, said she’s spoken with Zinke and U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry about using federal facilities to circumvent opposition to proposed ports.

Uber IPO could put company value at $120B New York Uber may put forth an initial public offering early next year that values the ride-hailing business at as much as $120 billion, according to a media report.

The Wall Street Journal said Tuesday that Uber Technologies Inc. received valuation proposals from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. There is no guarantee Uber will fetch that valuation, or go public soon.

If it does, and at that price, the company would be worth more than Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles combined.

Drugmakers to disclose prices for medicines advertised on TV Trenton, N.J. Dozens of drugmakers will start disclosing the prices for U.S. prescription drugs advertised on TV. The prices won’t actually be shown in the TV commercials but the advertisement will include a website where the list price will be posted. The move announced Monday by the industry’s largest trade group comes hours before a speech by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar on a new administration proposal to require prices in the ads. Azar responded that the industry’s announcement is a “small step in the right direction” but the government’s plan “will go further.”

Most Americans don’t pay the full price for prescriptions. In addition to the price, the drugmakers’ websites will show the likely outof-pocket costs for people with insurance coverage. The ads should start airing next spring.

US employers post record number of open jobs in August Washington, D.C. U.S. employers posted the most jobs in two decades in August, and hiring also reached a record high, fresh evidence that companies are desperate to staff up amid solid economic growth.

Job openings rose a slight 0.8 percent to 7.14 million, the highest on records dating back to December 2000, the Labor Department said Tuesday. That is also far more than the 6.2 million of people who were unemployed that month. The number of available jobs has swamped the number of unemployed for five straight months. Hiring has been solid, which has pushed down the unemployment rate to a nearly five-decade low of 3.7 percent.
