NEWS BRIEFING

‘The Profit’ loses city vote against his huge US flag Statesville The Statesville City Council has voted against a proposed change to the city’s flag ordinance which would allow a local business to continue flying a large American Flag. That means flags in Statesville must be no larger than 25 feet by 40 feet. That’s roughly half the size of the American flag that Marcus Lemonis has unfurled outside his Gander RV company. Statesville has asked a court to order Gander RV to comply or pay a $50 per day fine. Lemonis runs Camping World and stars on “The Profit” on CNBC. He says the flag is staying. He’s said he’ll go to jail for contempt of court to protect his constitutional rights.

Federal Education Dept to investigate UNC event Chapel Hill The U.S. Department of Education is investigating a conference on the Middle East held at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill after a legislator raised complaints that participants were biased against Israel. The conference titled “Conflict Over Gaza: People, Politics, and Possibilities,” was co-sponsored in March by Duke University and UNC-Chapel Hill.

News outlets report that Rep. George Holding (R) asked for an investigation in April, citing “reports of severe anti-Israeli bias and anti-Semitic rhetoric at the taxpayer-funded conference.”

College game-day alcohol sales bill close to passage Raleigh The General Assembly is closing in on final approval of legislation giving N.C.’s public universities the option to sell beer and wine at campus athletic events. The Senate voted 3312 on Monday for its version of a House bill allowing trustee boards at University of North Carolina system campuses to decide whether to sell alcohol at their stadiums and athletic facilities. If the House agrees to minor Senate changes, the final measure then goes to Gov. Roy Cooper’s desk.

By David Larson North State Journal RALEIGH — After the N.C. Sheriffs Association expressed concerns about a House bill passed in early April to require cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers, members of both chambers of the N.C. General Assembly have worked with

the state’s sheriffs and with federal immigration officials to create a compromise bill.

The N.C. Sheriffs Association has come out in favor of this version, which was presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee in mid-June, saying the bill, “provides an appropriate and careful balance under the Constitution for the rights of the accused and for the public safety of our communities.”

Whatley’s tenure at NC GOP focused on ‘reset’

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal RALEIGH — After a tumultuous year, the N.C. Republican Party elected energy consultant Michael Whatley as their new chairman at their annual convention on June 8.

“Michael Whatley has been with us right from the beginning. A great Leader and @ NCGOP Chairman!” Tweeted President Trump a few days later.

North State Journal sat down with Whatley, who ran on the idea of a “Reset in Raleigh,” to talk about the transition and to answer the question of what happens next.

“You know, obviously we rolled up our sleeves this week, dug in and had a bunch of meetings here, a bunch of meetings in Washington D.C.,” said Whatley who said he had been “touching base” with all of the groups involved and getting the briefings on different activities within the party.

“It’s been it’s been a good week. It’s been a really good week,” Whatley said.

Once the housekeeping items are squared away, the to-do list for the new chairman will include focusing on the 2019 special elections and the 2020 races to “make sure that we understand exactly where we are before we start marching out forward.”

“Well, first things first is we’ve got the special elections in the Ninth and the Third [congressional districts],” said Whatley. “We know that Dan [Bishop], has already come out of the primary there in the Ninth and want to make sure to do everything that we can do as a party to help him.”

Whatley continued, noting the runoff in the Third Congressional District would be a wait and see type situation, saying that “we’ll see whether that’s going to be Joan (Perry) or Greg (Murphy) and make sure we have the See WHATLEY, page A2

Miss North Carolina 2019 will be crowned Saturday night

Another first this year is a downtown Raleigh “Show Me Your Shoes” parade modeled on the famous Atlantic City tradition which precedes the Miss America finals.

The Saturday morning parade begins at 10am and will cover Fayetteville Street from the Old State Capitol to Memorial Auditorium.

The 42 contestants will be the primary focus of the parade. Reigning Miss North Carolina, Laura Matrazzo will appear along with N.C.-native and current Miss America Nia Franklin and Miss Massachusetts, Gabriela Taveras, who roomed with Matrazzo at last year’s Miss America competition.

“I am excited about the parade.

It’s something that we’ve wanted to do for several years. I am grateful to the city of Raleigh for recognizing the potential of this event,” said Knox. “We are proud to welcome our Miss America Nia Franklin, who is a Winston-Salem native, back to North Carolina.”

Raleigh’s Memorial Auditorium is celebrating its 40th year as the venue for the Miss North Carolina competition, and the finals will again be televised by Raleigh’s ABC-11.

During three nights of preliminary competition and the finals, the phases of competition include a 10-minute private interview with a panel of judges and onstage competitions in the areas of talent, evening wear, and onstage interview.

Scholarships are a major part of the competition, and Knox says N.C. has increased its scholarship awards since last year. This year, the contest will award $88,000 in cash scholarships. Each of the 42 candidates will also receive a $1,000 in-kind scholarship to High Point University. The top-five contestants will have the opportunity to interview for an additional $40,000 scholarship to High Point University.

Another change to this year’s

competition is the separation of the Miss North Carolina’s Outstanding Teen competition. In years past, the teen competition occurred simultaneously with the main event.

This year, Karlee Sanderford, of Raleigh, took home the crown after a competition held in High Point in April. Sanderford succeeded Carolina Credle who recently graduated from the UNC School of the Arts.

Judges for this year’s competition are Steven Reeves, an artist from Virginia, Dennis Momyer, a retired chiropractor from Honolulu, Hawaii, Michael Hanna, a finance consultant, Kyle Pendleton, Director of Harm Reduction for Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, Kelly Shatat, founder of Moon & Lola from Apex, Karen Bloomquist Elson, a sales and marketing professional and former Miss North Carolina from Atlanta, and Bree Branker, a model and former Radio City Rockette from Raleigh.

The pageant will be televised live on ABC11 on June 22 at 8pm.

Once the winner is crowned, she will begin a yearlong statewide speaking tour which includes stops at festivals, pageants, tourism events and business and civic functions. Ultimately, Miss North Carolina will compete in Miss America which has typically been held in September. With no official date set, pageant watchers are suggesting the event may be pushed back as far as early 2020. The Miss America organization recently announced that NBC will be taking over broadcast rights to the nearly 100-year-old event with venue and dates still to be determined. Tickets for the Miss North Carolina events can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com.

want to communicate with federal immigration authorities,” said the bill’s House primary sponsor, Rep. Destin Hall (R-Caldwell), while presenting the bill at the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“As a result, they’re releasing folks onto the streets that shouldn’t be released. They’re releasing some dangerous folks. We saw an example in Mecklenburg County just a few weeks ago.”

Hall was referring to a Honduran immigrant, Luis Pineda-Ancheta, who had re-entered the country illegally after being deported and was again arrested on charges of domestic abuse and assault on a female. Mecklenburg Sheriff Garry McFadden released Pineda-Ancheta, despite an ICE detainer request. ICE and US Attorney for Western North Carolina Andrew Murray both spoke out against that decision after a ninehour standoff with a police SWAT team ensued in order to take Pineda-Ancheta back into custody.

U.S. congressional candidate and state senator Dan Bishop (R-Meck.) released a statement and a petition demanding that McFadden resign. “Sheriff McFadden was charged with protecting the safety of our citizens, but instead he put them at risk in favor of his radical liberal agenda,” said Bishop. “He needs to resign and other sanctuary sheriffs like him must be stopped.”

McFadden says it’s not fair to blame him for the incident and that ICE needs to bring a federal

warrant, not a detainer request, if they want anyone he is holding. He also referenced the 287(g) Program, a voluntary program whereby local sheriffs take a more proactive role in enforcing federal immigration law.

“Let me be clear: 287(g) is off the table,” said McFadden at a press conference. “You bring me a federal warrant, and I have 436 federal inmates here at the Mecklenburg County Detention Center — and of course I didn’t say jail because I’m trying to change the language. It’s my detention center and my residents. So, am I cooperating with the federal government and federal officials? Yes. Somehow, it’s not working well with ICE.” McFadden’s counterpart in Wake County, Sheriff Gerald Baker, also held a press conference signaling his department’s opposition to the legislation.

“That bill is designed to force us sheriffs who refuse to participate in the 287(g) Program to work with ICE and to do their job, basically,” said Baker. “We still stand right where we are on that. We will not budge. We will not move. And we’re going to sit back and watch that bill as it moves through the legislature and see what happens.”

Murray told NSJ that 287(g) should not be confused with simply cooperating with ICE detainers on those already in custody.

“The sheriffs get to use their resources how they want,” Murray said. “They don’t have to partici-

pate in the task force. My issue is when that person is coming out of jail, they [sheriffs] should cooperate with federal law enforcement authorities. All a sheriff has to do is call and say, ‘Hey, we’re processing this guy out this evening,’ and ICE would be there at the door and take him into custody at that time.”

Florida passed a similar bill, which Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed on Friday, June 14, requiring local sheriffs to honor ICE detainer requests on anyone in their custody.

President Donald Trump tweeted to congratulate DeSantis on signing the bill, saying, “Florida Governor Ron DeSantis just signed Bill banning Sanctuary Cities in State, & forcing all law enforcement agencies to cooperate with Federal Immigration authorities. Bill prohibits local Gov’t from enacting Sanctuary policies that protect undocumented immigrants.”

Unlike Florida, North Carolina’s Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper may be unlikely to sign a bill requiring law enforcement cooperation with ICE. The original bill, before the compromise with the N.C. Sheriffs Association, passed 63-51 with no Democrat votes, which would be needed to override a potential Cooper veto.

If the bill receives a favorable report out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, it will then be sent to the Senate Rules Committee and then to the Senate floor for a vote.

By Courtney Burnett For the North State Journal RALEIGH — A new Miss North Carolina will be crowned Saturday night in Raleigh. With recent changes to the Miss America process and turmoil among some state organizations that feed into Miss America, the 2019 version of the Miss North Carolina scholarship competition will look and feel different than in years past.

The first noticeable change to the program came through the elimination of the swimsuit competition. That change occurred in 2018 after then-chair Gretchen Carlson ended that phase of the pageant, which dated back to the first Miss America pageant in Atlantic City in 1921. The televised finals will also feature more interaction between the contestants and the judges. “This new format gives the judges additional opportunities to learn more about these young women,” said Miss North Carolina executive director Beth Knox.

Knox said in an interview with the North State Journal that new elements to the competition and new events associated with the week-long event are designed to engage contestants, sponsors and the statewide community that supports the non-profit organization.

She also highlighted the new interview elements of the competition which will feature interactions between each contestant and the judges along with a modified evening wear phase which was formerly a display of the candidates fashion sense and now an opportunity to speak about the candidate’s social impact while wearing “red carpet” attire.

ICE from page A1 dy, and if the person is not a citizen and has a federal immigration detainer, they must be brought before a magistrate judge. The judge could then issue a warrant, resolving, in theory, the concerns of some sheriffs who said they preferred warrants to the ICE detainer requests, which ask local law enforcement to hold a suspect for 48 hours to give ICE a chance to re-arrest them before release.

Senate primary sponsors, Sens.

Chuck Edwards (R-Henderson), Norm Sanderson (R-Pamlico) and Jim Perry (R-Lenoir), released a statement saying, “ICE issues detainer requests for a reason: those present in this country unlawfully who have committed serious crimes should be deported. This legislation bridges the divide to reach a resolution on the sanctuary cities issue. We’re hardpressed to find anybody who believes serious criminals should be allowed to stay in the United States.”

The bill would require sheriffs to hold these detainees for four days if there is a request from federal immigration officials. But some sheriffs from more urban counties, like Wake and Mecklenburg, still oppose being required to cooperate with ICE detainers at all.

“We got here because there are a very, very small number of sheriffs in North Carolina who have decided that they no longer even

State Rep. James Gailliard (D-Nash) said what happened on the House floor was an “11th-hour scare,” but he said the relocation of the DMV headquarters to Rocky Mount is “absolutely” a done deal.

“We had a lot of rural communities voting with us on this,” Gailliard said.

Gailliard said he believes some of the DMV workers are going to retire early, some are going to go work for another government agency, some are going to commute to Rocky Mount and some are going to relocate to the Rocky Mount area.

“I think we’re going to sell some houses — and some people are going to decide that living in a rural community is a whole lot better than living in Raleigh,” said Gilliard.

“And you’re going to have jobs created for people that live in Nash, Edgecombe or Wilson counties because they’ll be within an easy commute of the DMV,” he added.

Gilliard said his guess is the Rocky Mount and Wilson areas are going to pick up anywhere from 125150 jobs as a result of DMV workers leaving or joining another agency. He said he does not specifically know how large of an impact there is going to be to the local economy as a result of the relocation of the DMV headquarters, “but it’s going to help us.

ability to step in and help them.”

“This election cycle is one of the most — if not the most — important election cycles of my lifetime,” said Whatley.

The chairman explained how he got started in politics as a volunteer for Jesse Helms in 1984 and that he remained active in in North Carolina and nationally for 35 years.

During that long history of political activity, Whatley served as a chief of staff for former U.S. Senator and Salisbury native Elizabeth Dole, as well as being a senior official at the Department of Energy under President George W. Bush.

Whatley explained he had never seen “a cycle like this one” and that, in part, spurred him to get into the race for the chairman spot.

“I’ve never seen a cycle like this where we’ve got such a great opportunity to pick up the Republican governor,” Whatley said.

“We’re going to have the most expensive Senate race in the country, and, obviously, President Trump has to win North Carolina. We’ve got to deliver the votes for him.”

NC GOP Chairman Michael Whatley is pictured during an interview at the NC GOP headquarters in Raleigh on June 14. in connection with alleged bribery charges connected to the N.C. Dept. of Insurance and political donor, Greg Lindberg, also played a role in Whatley’s decision to run.

“It really looked to me like we needed somebody to step up and fill the breach and make sure that we’re going to lead the party going forward,” said Whatley. “You

throw the convention being here on top of that — I mean, it just really brings a magnifying glass to everything here in the state.”

Whatley continued, saying it was “very compelling for me to make sure that we’re going to be able to deliver those votes, and the Republican party is just a huge, huge fulcrum for a lot of those activities.”

Hitting a reset in Raleigh was just one part of Whatley’s campaign to be chairman. He also highlighted the importance of judicial races in the state.

“I think we want to have a dedicated program here that’s going to be able to support our candidates for the court of appeals and the Supreme Court,” Whatley said.

Whatley said that over the course of the next week, he would be meeting with Justice Paul Newby, who has announced his run for chief justice, and the other candidates in order to figure out what support they already had in place and what they’re going to need down the road.

In the last election, former N.C. Supreme Court Justice Barbara Jackson lost her seat to Anita Earls, a lawyer and activist who has sued the state in the past over voter ID and other voter-related issues. When asked if Jackson had been approached to run again, Whatley said that he had spoken with her but there was no indication Jackson would re-enter the race.

Whatley added that “obviously she would be a strong candidate if she were to decide to get in.”

North Carolina GOP pushes back on redistricting allegations The Associated Press

MANUEL BALCE CENETA | AP PHOTO | FILE

In this Feb. 14, 2019 file photo, acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan speaks about the situation in the Persian Gulf region during a meeting with Portuguese Minister of National Defense Joao Cravinho, at the Pentagon.

Shanahan drops bid to lead Pentagon The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — After months of delays, acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan stepped down Tuesday before his formal nomination ever went to the Senate, citing a “painful” family situation that would hurt his children and reopen “wounds we have worked years to heal.”

President Donald Trump announced Shanahan’s departure in a tweet, and said that Army Secretary Mark Esper would be the new acting Pentagon chief.

“It is unfortunate that a painful and deeply personal family situation from long ago is being dredged up and painted in an incomplete and therefore misleading way in the course of this process,” Shanahan said in a statement. “I believe my continuing in the confirmation process would force my three children to relive a traumatic chapter in our family’s life and reopen wounds we have worked years to heal. Ultimately, their safety and well-being is my highest priority.”

The acting Defense secretary did not provide specifics about the family situation but media outlets including The Washington Post and USA Today published extensive reports Tuesday about circumstances surrounding his 2011 di-

vorce shortly before Trump tweeted that Shanahan’s nomination would not go forward.

In his statement, Shanahan said he asked to be withdrawn from the nomination process and he resigned from his previous post as deputy defense secretary. He said he would work on an “appropriate transition” but it wasn’t clear how quickly he will leave the job.

Defense officials said that leaders are trying to decide when Esper would take over the job. Officials were meeting Tuesday afternoon to discuss transition plans. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to publicly discuss internal deliberations.

In his tweet, Trump simply said that Shanahan had done “a wonderful job” but would step aside to “devote more time to his family.”

And, in noting Esper’s move, Trump added, “I know Mark, and have no doubt he will do a fantastic job!”

The post atop the Pentagon has not been filled permanently since Gen. James Mattis retired in January. Trump announced in May that he would nominate Shanahan but the formal nomination process in the Senate had been inexplicably delayed.

Shanahan, a former Boeing executive,

has been leading the Pentagon as acting secretary since Jan. 1, a highly unusual arrangement for arguably the most sensitive Cabinet position.

His prospects for confirmation have been spotty due in large part to questions about his lengthy work as former Boeing executive and questions about possible conflicts of interest.

The Defense Department’s inspector general cleared Shanahan of any wrongdoing in connection with accusations he had shown favoritism toward Boeing during his time as deputy Defense secretary.

In Shanahan’s tenure at the department he’s had to deal with a wide array of international hotspots, ranging from missile launches by North Korea to the sudden shift of military ships and aircraft to the Middle East to deal with potential threats from Iran.

Shanahan, 56, had extensive experience in the defense industry but little in government. In more than four months as the acting secretary, he focused on implementing the national defense strategy that was developed during Mattis’ tenure and emphasizes a shift from the resources and tactics required to fight small wars against extremist groups to what Shanahan calls “great power” competition with China and Russia.

RALEIGH — Attorneys for North Carolina Republican lawmakers pushed back hard in state court on Monday over accusations the legislators misled federal judges in an earlier redistricting lawsuit.

Republican legislative leaders filed a response to a motion from attorneys for Common Cause, the state Democratic Party and Democratic voters now suing GOP legislators in a separate partisan legislative redistricting case. The lawsuit trial is scheduled for next month.

A major pretrial issue is the documents the plaintiffs subpoenaed from the computer files of the late GOP mapmaker Thomas Hofeller.

Some of the plaintiffs’ lawyers have alleged Hofeller’s records will show Republican legislators deceived a panel of federal judges about whether they could redraw new House and Senate lines for the 2017 elections. The GOP lawmakers’ lawyers wrote that the plaintiffs have “rendered baseless accusations” that are “based on percentages and inferences that are entirely indefensible.”

New lines had been required after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower federal court ruling that found nearly 30 legislative districts had been drawn earlier this decade with excessive racial bias. The panel of three federal judges ultimately ordered new General Assembly maps that, while drawn in August 2017, wouldn’t be used until the regular 2018 election.

Lawyers for the GOP legislators reiterated Monday that the plaintiffs’ lawyers are misusing those records and question whether they received them in a proper manner. Hofeller’s estranged daughter told Common Cause North Carolina about his files, leading its lawyers to subpoena them.

“The court should conduct a hearing to investigate the conduct of plaintiffs and their counsel and issue any appropriate remedy to protect the rights of third parties and the integrity of this proceeding,” lawyers Phil Strach and Mark Braden wrote.

During the federal case, the GOP legislators had told those judges they had not had time to prepare maps for a special 2017 election. But plaintiff’s lawyer Stanton Jones wrote this month that Hofeller’s files would show he had developed numerous draft maps since August 2016. He provided no evidence from those files in the June 5 letter.

Strach and Braden wrote the plaintiffs have “zero support” that the GOP legislators committed wrongdoing, and “their accusations of misconduct are reckless.”

Besides, they wrote, the current lawsuit is about whether the lines drawn in August 2017 violated the state constitution, “not whether statements in a different case were true.”

Common Cause North Carolina Executive Director Bob Phillips said late Monday the plaintiffs’ lawyers were reviewing the lawmakers’ filing in Wake County Superior Court.

Documents from Hofeller’s files — over 75,000 files from more than 20 hard drives or thumb drives were obtained by the plaintiffs — have surfaced in other courtrooms recently.

Late last week, voting rights activists in a federal court case in Maryland cited 2015 correspondence between Hofeller and a current Census Bureau in alleging discrimination motivated efforts

by President Donald Trump’s administration to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. The U.S. Supreme Court could rule on the citizenship question any day.

“Plaintiffs are using this proceeding as a platform for baseless political invective,” Strach and Braden wrote Monday in suggesting the state judges, as they have in other similar cases, could order documents be destroyed and disqualify lawyers who participate in misconduct.

“The court should conduct a hearing to investigate the conduct of plaintiffs and their counsel and issue any appropriate remedy to protect the rights of third parties and the integrity of this proceeding,” Lawyers Phil Strach and Mark Braden

The Hypocrisy of the millionaire “tax me” movement

Very wealthy people don’t pay the high marginal tax rates based on the published tax tables from the IRS.

MASSACHUSETTS Senator Elizabeth Warren wants to pass a “wealth tax” of 2% on assets held by rich people over $50 million and 3% on assets over $1 billion as the next President of the United States of America.

Some say wealthy people support such a tax. “Over the years, we have seen that this population is willing to pay more,” said George Walper, president of Spectrem Group which did the poll survey with CNBC. Some uber-rich people such as Warren Buffett have said for years that he wants to pay more in taxes.

Take it from someone who dealt directly with very smart tax lobbyists on Capitol Hill for years: “Rich people do not want to pay more in taxes, period!”

If they did, they would not hire such expensive tax lobbyists. Nor would they hire very expensive tax lawyers and accountants by the boatload each year to find ways to minimize their taxes, not increase them.

Rich people can pay more taxes today if they so choose. All they have to do is fire every expensive tax lawyer, accountant and lobbyist they have retained to find ways to shelter income and not expose all of it to the full taxable rates set by Congress.

If they get a refund, they can deposit it in the Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt account at the Bureau of the Fiscal Service of the US Treasury. $4,686,987.27 has been paid into this account in 2019. Our federal deficit is expected to be $896 billion this year. Adding more than 191,000 times more debt over debt reduction payments is not a longterm solution to our debt bomb crisis.

Even smart well-meaning multi-millionaires should understand the futility of doing so.

The Spectrem survey was done with 750 high net worth individuals split across political lines. There are 14 million people in America with investible assets of over $1 million. If all of the 750 respondents held assets below $50 million, of course they would support a higher tax on the uber-wealthy above them.

One thing the survey did find was that 72% of the respondents did not support eliminating tax deductions. Of course not; rich people can afford to find complicated tax schemes with multiple deductions to prevent their income from being taxed in the first place.

One very wealthy person told me: “No one I know who is rich is stupid enough to pay themselves more than $10 million in salary to begin with. I haven’t taken any salary in the last 20 years. Then I would have to pay income taxes and Medicare Part A payroll tax on all of that $10 million. Any income I make comes out of capital gains which is taxed at a lower rate with no payroll tax.”

Capital gains of asset values are taxed at 15% up to $488,850 and at 20% above that. That is far below the top marginal income tax rate of 37% today.

Very wealthy people don’t pay the high marginal tax rates based on the published tax tables from the IRS. They target an effective tax rate they choose to pay to the government, usually far below 20% of their income and tell their accountants and lawyers to find ways to do it.

Warren’s proposal is scored to increase revenues by $275 billion/year.

It might reduce annual deficits to around $500 billion if spending was held constant at current baseline levels.

However, Warren and all of her very left-leaning socialist Democratic presidential candidates want to add on trillions of dollars of more spending for free Medicare for all, education for all and a guaranteed income for all. $275 billion raised in new taxes, from any source, under their policies would be like spitting in the wind.

Wealthy people saying they want Elizabeth Warren to raise their taxes are being politically hypocritical.

Just pay more taxes right now if you want to. There is nothing stopping you.

The MSM’s biased coverage of illegal immigration deepens news consumer distrust

There is simply no other logical reason for the differences in coverage other than to give people the worst possible impression of Trump’s immigration policies towards children.

THE HEADLINES painted an alarming visual.

“Trump administration to house migrant children at Fort Sill, which once served as a Japanese internment camp” blared the headline from one national news media outlet.

Many others were worded similarly, whether in the headline or the story itself.

For the casual news reader, there was only one thing to glean from this information: The Trump administration is showing a callous disregard for vulnerable illegal immigrant children by shuttling them to internment camps.

Predictably, Democratic politicians were quick to pounce.

“This is sick,” tweeted California Governor Gavin Newsom. “We will look back at this moment in time and ask ourselves what we did to put a stop to these horrific, inhumane policies.”

“The internment of Japanese-Americans is a stain on our history,” said Sen. Bernie Senders (I-VT), a candidate for president. “[It’s] abhorrent that 75 years later, this administration now wants to hold migrant children in one of those same camps. We will look back on Trump’s racist child prisons as an abomination.”

There are a few problems with these hot takes, however.

For starters, the 150-year-old Oklahoma military base that will house the unaccompanied minor illegal immigrant children hasn’t been an internment camp … since June 1942. It is not going to be used as a “child prison.”

Secondly, this is only meant as a temporary solution. The Trump administration has a long-term plan to address the issue by way of building new Health and Human Services facilities due to overcrowding at existing facilities. But Democrats have refused to move on the administration’s request for $4.5 billion in funding for this plan, which would help alleviate the problem.

Thirdly, using Fort Sill to house unaccompanied migrant children is not a new practice. President Obama housed 1,200 of them there in 2014. In stark contrast to how current reports have been negatively framed, not a single media outlet that reported the news in 2014 noted it used to be an internment camp.

Not a single one.

Its brief history as an internment camp over 75 years ago has no relevance whatsoever to the reasons it is being used now.

So why was it so important to note last week that Fort Sill was a former Japanese internment camp but not in the 2014 stories?

There is simply no other logical reason for the differences in coverage other than to give people the worst possible impression of Trump’s immigration policies towards children.

It was media sensationalism at its worst, playing on people’s emotions. They insinuated the children were going to face the same conditions that the Japanese-Americans who were interned there did.

The media’s deliberate framing of this story would be like them reporting in the aftermath of a presidential election that “the president-elect will reside in a large white house that was built by slave labor.”

While it’s a fact and not wrong to mention it in historical context, where the president resides is beyond their control for the time they are the leaders of the free world. Furthermore, they had nothing to do with how the White House was built.

In 2018, the media used pictures of migrant children being kept behind chain link fences at detention facilities as supposed proof of the Trump administration’s lack of compassion for children at the border.

They also circulated pictures of a “prison bus for babies” which showed a bus with child seats for toddlers.

The only problem with that narrative is that images were from 2014 and 2016 (and the bus was not a “prison bus”), obviously before Trump was president.

Do you detect a pattern here?

If the mainstream media truly want to earn back the trust they’ve lost they can start by doing better fact checking, showing a lot more consistency, and doing a lot less sensationalizing.

OPINION | SHAWN KREST

A futile search for drama at Durham Bulls Pride Night It almost seemed like they were there, crazy at it may sound, to watch a baseball game.

THE promotion was held in partnership with Equality NC, the LGBTQ Center of Durham and the Durham Police Department.

In other words, it looked like to the world that the gay activist community was going to rub it their “rights” in everyone’s face, and the Bulls and Durham Police would be right there to help them do it.

There was an outcry on social media immediately after the promotion’s announcement in May. “Well, I was gonna go to a Bulls game this season,” said one angry Instagram poster. “Not anymore.”

Other commenters wanted to know when Straight Pride Night.

“Do we get a banner saying: “There is no shame in being straight,” asked one.

The Bulls answered each challenge, repeating that they were just hoping to create a safe environment for everyone.

It was clear that the DBAP was going to be a powder keg that night. I went to the game to be there to see all the conflict, the protests, and, of course, the aforementioned in-yourface-rubbing. I headed to the ballpark expecting to see some combination of Mardi Gras, an Elton John show and Caligula.

I came away disappointed.

Very disappointed.

I’m not sure exactly what happened. Maybe the sight lines from my seat weren’t the best, or perhaps I was distracted by the video board. But somehow, I missed all the abominations on Pride Night.

There were a few people wearing rainbow-flag capes. I guess I saw more male midriffs than at your average games, but there was no drag queen kiss cam between innings, no loud, wild celebrations of sexuality in the stands. In fact, I saw nothing rubbed in anyone’s faces at all.

Instead, I saw the stands full of people, gays and straights alike, most dressed in shorts and T-shirts. They occasionally got up and wandered off, returning a short time later with nachos, a slice of pizza or that great equalizer of American life, a tall cold beer. (31 of the 33 Pride Night comments on the LGBTQ Center of Durham’s Facebook page were related to what food people planned to get at the game.)

As I watched them eat their

They didn’t have any statements to make or points to demonstrate. They certainly didn’t seem to be looking to do any in-your-face-rubbing.

Part of my confusion stemmed from the tiptoeing Minor League Baseball did while naming this event. (The Bulls were just one of several teams around the country who held Pride Nights.)

Pride Night, like a Pride parade, implies to most observers that said pride will be celebrated and demonstrated in some way. That’s not what this was it all.

It was LGBTQ Night.

Minor league teams have always held Italian Night, German Night, and Irish Night, to draw in big groups of people with those ethnicities, who want to sit together and enjoy the game with people they feel are similar to them in some important way.

Surely, they all had a great deal of pride in their identity, but that wasn’t the point of the night at the ballpark. And, for the nonGermans, Irish or Italians in the crowd, it was just another game. Other than a pregame clog dancing demonstration on one of the dugouts and loud cheers when the scoreboard listed the groups in attendance, it barely registered

on their radar.

June 5th was also IBM Night at the DBAP. I saw people in IBM shirts, and they let out a cheer when IBM showed up on the scoreboard groups listing. No one considered calling it IBM Pride Night, however. It was just IBM Night.

That’s what June 5th was— LGBTQ Night at the DBAP. The Bulls, and all of Minor League Baseball, bent over backwards to avoid calling it that. Never in all the promotion for the game and responses to social media did anyone from the organization mention who would be feeling Pride on this particular Night.

That made it seem different. It singled the LGBTQ community out, and it set expectations—right or wrong—in peoples’ minds, that they were there to express their pride. And when that didn’t happen, it was anticlimactic.

It almost seemed like they were there, crazy at it may sound, to watch a baseball game. And if they could do it without having to worry about getting side eye from people sitting nearby, all the better.

For all its build-up, Pride Night delivered exactly what the Bulls had promised all along: a safe place to watch great baseball, drink beer and have fun.

And perhaps the rest of us, including me, need something rubbed in our face after all—to wipe off all the egg that is there.

GUEST OPINION | JENNA ROBINSON

Alcohol revenue should be used to reduce student fees In-state students at Elizabeth City State University pay almost as much in athletics fees as they do in yearly tuition.

WALTER E. WILLIAMS

A BILL in the North Carolina General Assembly would give public universities access to a new stream of revenue: alcohol sales at university sporting events. If the bill passes, universities should use the new money to decrease student athletic fees.

House Bill 389 was passed by the NC House on April 16 and by the Senate on June 17. It is now awaiting Governor Cooper’s signature. The bill has support from 14 of the schools in the UNC system— all except UNC School of the Arts (which doesn’t host sporting events) and UNC Pembroke.

Trustees at the 14 schools signed a letter in support of the bill: We, the undersigned, representing the Chairs of our respective Boards of Trustees of Constituent Institutions of the University of North Carolina System, have reviewed the attached draft of the proposed bill entitled “An Act to Authorize Public Colleges and Universities to Allow Alcohol Sales at Stadiums, Athletic Facilities, and Arenas Located on School Property.” We support this proposed bill as drafted and would appreciate your consideration of advancing this bill through your respective chambers.

Many states already allow alcohol to be sold at public university stadiums. Revenues from the sales range from under $100,000 per year to more than $1 million. In 2017, Ohio State netted $1.2 million from alcohol sales in its football stadium. Schools have found that they can sell alcohol at a modestto-notable profit without threatening the safety of spectators.

It’s unlikely that any North Carolina teams would earn that much from alcohol sales, but even a small amount of revenue could make a big difference to students. Students’ athletics fees in the UNC system range from $232 per year at NC State to $899.31 at Elizabeth City State. The median athletics fee is $781. At many schools, the athletics fee is the largest fee students pay—higher than fees for student services, student health, campus security, and even debt service.

In-state students at Elizabeth City State

University pay almost as much in athletics fees as they do in yearly tuition.

Yet students do not flock to UNC schools to be a funding source for sports. They’re focused on learning and earning a degree, and university leaders need to find revenue streams to support students’ academic pursuits.

These high athletics fees are not unusual. Nor are they evenly distributed: An article published in the Journal of SPORT in 2018 showed that “the colleges and universities that provide the highest institutional subsidies to college athletics are far too often schools that serve a student population that faces the greatest academic challenges and financial need.”

Athletics fees, in other words, do the most economic harm to the students who can least afford them. High student athletics fees and other institutional subsidies decrease access to higher education and increase student debt. That’s hardly in line with North Carolina’s Constitution, which states that higher education should be free, “as far as practicable.”

Universities have two options if they want to stop relying on students to subsidize sports. The first, embodied in this bill, is to find new revenues so that athletics departments can operate in the black without subsidies from students. NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill come close already.

The other option is to play at a lower division— which may be the better route for most schools in the UNC system. After all, lower-division teams still create the oft-cited benefits of sports for their schools: collegiality, school spirit, and opportunities for physical activity and healthy competition. And it costs far less. Schools might not be able to use sports as a branding opportunity, but they would give students a better value for their money.

For too long, athletics programs have enriched themselves at the expense of students. House Bill 389 and the discussion it has created around athletics revenues are an invitation for universities to imagine something better.

NEW YORK Mayor Bill de Blasio says that the city’s specialized high schools have a diversity problem.

He’s joined by New York City Schools Chancellor Richard A. Carranza, educators, students and community leaders who want to fix the diversity problem. I bet you can easily guess what they will do to “improve” the racial mix of students (aka diversity).

If you guessed they would propose eliminating the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test as the sole criterion for admissions, go to the head of the class. The Specialized High Schools Admissions Test is an examination that is administered to New York City’s eighth- and ninthgrade students. By state law, it is used to determine admission to all but one of the city’s nine specialized high schools.

It’s taken as axiomatic that the relatively few blacks admitted to these high-powered schools is somehow tied to racial discrimination. In a June 2, 2018 “Chalkbeat” article, de Blasio writes: “The problem is clear. Eight of our most renowned high schools — including Stuyvesant High School, Bronx High School of Science and Brooklyn Technical High School — rely on a single, high-stakes exam. The Specialized High School Admissions Test isn’t just flawed — it’s a roadblock to justice, progress and academic excellence.”

Let’s look at a bit of history to raise some questions about the mayor’s diversity hypothesis. Dr. Thomas Sowell provides some interesting statistics about Stuyvesant High School in his book “Wealth, Poverty and Politics.” He reports that, “In 1938, the proportion of blacks attending Stuyvesant High School, a specialized school, was almost as high as the proportion of blacks in the population of New York City.” Since then, it has spiraled downward. In 1979, blacks were 12.9% of students at Stuyvesant, falling to 4.8% in 1995. By 2012, The New York Times reported that blacks were 1.2% of the student body.

What explains the decline? None of the usual explanations for racial disparities make sense. In other words, would one want to argue that there was less racial discrimination in 1938? Or, argue that in 1938 the “legacy of slavery” had not taken effect whereby now it is in full bloom?

Genetic or environmental arguments cannot explain why blacks of an earlier generation were able to meet the demanding mental test standards to get into an elite high school.

Socioeconomic conditions for blacks have improved dramatically since 1938.

The only other plausible reason for the decline in academic achievement is that there has been a change in black culture. It doesn’t take much to reach this conclusion. Simply look at school behavior today versus yesteryear.

An Education Week article reported that in the 2015-16 school year, “5.8% of the nation’s 3.8 million teachers were physically attacked by a student.” The Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics and the Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics show that in the 2011-12 academic year, there were a record 209,800 primaryand secondary-school teachers who reported being physically attacked by a student. Nationally, an average of 1,175 teachers and staff were physically attacked, including being knocked out, each day of that school year.

In the city of Baltimore, each school day in 2010, an average of four teachers and staff were assaulted.

A National Center for Education Statistics study found that 18% of the nation’s schools accounted for 75% of the reported incidents of violence, and 6.6% accounted for half of all reported incidents. These are schools with predominantly black student populations. It’s not only assaults on teachers but cursing and disorderly conduct that are the standard fare in so many predominantly black schools.

Here are questions that might be asked of de Blasio and others who want to “fix the diversity problem” at New York’s specialized schools: What has the triumph of egalitarian and diversity principles done for the rest of New York’s school system? Are their academic achievement scores better than students at New York’s specialized schools? The most important question for black parents: What has been allowed to happen to cripple black academic excellence?

Trump threatens to deport millions beginning next week The effort would focus on the more than 1 million people who have been issued final deportation orders by federal judges but remain at large in the U.S.

By Jill Colvin The Associated Press WASHINGTON D.C. — President Donald Trump is threatening to remove millions of people living in the United States illegally ahead of formally announcing his reelection bid.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement next week will “begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States,” Trump said in a pair of tweets Monday night.

“They will be removed as fast as they come in,” he wrote.

An administration official said the effort would focus on the more than 1 million people who have been issued final deportation orders by federal judges but remain at large in the U.S. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to explain the president’s tweets.

Other U.S. officials with knowledge of the preparations have said the operation was not imminent, and that ICE officials were not aware the president would make public sensitive law enforcement plans on Twitter.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

It is unusual for law enforcement agencies to announce raids before they take place. Some in Trump’s administration believe that decisive shows of force — like mass arrests — can serve as effective deterrents, sending a message to those considering making the journey to the U.S. that it’s not worth coming.

The acting head of ICE Mark Morgan said in an interview with journalists earlier this month that there would be enforcement action coming that would include deporting families, and that it would be done humanely.

Trump has threatened a series

of increasingly drastic actions as he has tried to stem the flow of Central American migrants crossing the southern border, which has risen dramatically on his watch. He recently dropped a threat to slap tariffs on Mexico after the country agreed to dispatch its national guard and step-up coordination and enforcement efforts.

A senior Mexican official said Monday that, three weeks ago, about 4,200 migrants were arriving at the U.S. border daily.

Now that number has dropped to about 2,600.

Immigration was a central theme of Trump’s 2016 campaign and he is expected to hammer it as he tries to fire up his base heading into the 2020 campaign.

Trump will formally launch his re-election bid Tuesday night at a rally in Orlando, Florida — a state that is crucial to his path back to the White House.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is working the phones to convince wary leaders in Asia and Europe that Iran was behind alleged attacks on shipping in a key Middle East oil route — and that it’s a problem for the whole international community to deal with, not just the United States.

While calling U.S. evidence “unmistakable” that Iran was to blame for alleged attacks on two oil tankers last week near the Strait of Hormuz, Pompeo was emphasizing international diplomacy over any possible new U.S. military response in appearances on “Fox News Sunday” and CBS’s “Face the Nation”.

“We are going to work to build out a set of countries that have deep vested interest in keeping that strait open to help us do that,” Pompeo said.

“I made a bunch of phone calls yesterday. I’ll make a whole bunch more calls today. The world needs to unite,” Pompeo said. He did not say what kind of action the Trump administration was envisioning.

Iran has denied being involved in the attacks and accused America of promoting an “Iranophobic” campaign against it.

Pressed on whether new U.S. military deployment to the region was possible, Pompeo said that “of course” remained among the options that President Donald Trump may consider to keep oil tankers moving through the narrow strait, a strategic choke point for oil shipments from the Middle East.

Trump last year withdrew the U.S. from an international agreement, signed in 2015 by President Barack Obama, that was intended to limit Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Trump has reinstated economic sanctions and recently ended waivers that allowed some countries to continue buying Iranian oil. That has deprived Iran of oil income and has coincided with what U.S. officials said was a surge in intelligence pointing to Iranian preparations for attacks against U.S. forces and interests in the Gulf region.

The U.S. has accelerated the deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier battle group to the region, sent four nuclear-capable B-52 bombers to Qatar and bolstered its defenses in the region by deploying more Patriot air defense systems.

Some European allies have called for an investigation of responsibility.

Pompeo stressed that the U.S. gets relatively little of its energy supplies through the strait, which lies between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. The U.S. Energy Information Administration says 16 percent of U.S. petroleum imports came from the Persian Gulf countries in 2018.

By contrast, about 80% of oil through the shipping passage supplies energy-hungry countries in Asia, including China, Japan, India and South Korea.

Those countries have an interest in keeping the oil flowing, he said.

“I’m confident that when they see the risk — the risk of their own economies and their own people and outrageous behavior of the Islamic Republic of Iran, they will join us in this,” Pompeo said.

Pompeo said intelligence officials had “lots of data, lots of evidence” that Iran was responsible. Pressed for specifics, Pompeo pointed to grainy black-andwhite footage already released by the U.S. American officials say the footage shows Iranian Revolutionary Guard troops removing an unexploded mine from a Japanese tanker. The tanker’s crew gave an apparently different account, saying “flying objects” targeted the vessel.

Pompeo said the administration had shared the video and other unspecified evidence with Germany and other nations.

“We are going to work to build out a set of countries that have deep vested interest in keeping that strait open to help us do that. ...

I made a bunch of phone calls yesterday.

I’ll make a whole bunch more calls today. The world needs to unite.”

ly acquired Ingram in a blockbuster trade that sent Anthony Davis to the Lakers.

New Orleans also picked up the fourth overall pick in that trade.

There are rumors that the Pelicans are considering trading that pick, perhaps to Atlanta, but by the time that selection is made, it’s likely that a second Blue Devil will be off the board. R.J. Barrett, Duke’s leading scorer this season, is expected to go in the top three, with New York being the most likely landing spot.

New Orleans’ plans with the fourth pick could impact another Duke player. Cam Reddish, like Williamson and Barrett a Duke freshman last season, is currently slotted to go to the Hawks at No. 8 in most mock drafts. If Atlanta pulls the trigger to move up, sending that eighth pick to the Pelicans as part of a package, it could shift Reddish’s landing spot. Still, he’s likely to go in the lottery, giving Duke three first rounders for the third straight year and fourth in the last five.

Assuming all three go as expected, that would give Duke 14 oneand-done first rounders in the last nine years Once the Duke show begins winding down on Thursday night, the spotlight will shift a few miles across the Triangle, where UNC is also expected to have three players taken in the first round.

That would give coach Roy Williams 21 first rounders during his UNC tenure, and it would be his fourth season with three or more first-round picks.

High-scoring guard Coby White is expected to go to Chicago at No. 7.

CHAPEL HILL — Everything old is new again.

Take artificial turf, for example.

Unveiled in the 1960s with the opening of Houston’s Astrodome, fake grass became a fixture at stadiums all across the country over the next decade. But it eventually fell out of favor, especially among athletes, due to injury risk.

But thanks to advances in technology and the growing cost of maintaining natural surfaces, artificial turf is enjoying a comeback. Among those making the switch is North Carolina, whose Kenan Stadium field is currently undergoing an extensive synthetic facelift.

“Installing AstroTurf at Kenan Stadium not only is the best option for our football team and football game day, it also benefits our other varsity programs that may want to use Kenan as a conditioning space,” UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham said. “With 28 teams and more than 800 student-athletes, we are always looking for ways to create multi-use spaces and installing synthetic turf does that.”

The playing surface at Kenan has been a topic of conversation for the past two years because of overuse during construction of the Tar Heels’ new practice facility. Athletic officials originally resisted the changeover to artificial turf, necessitating that the field be re-sodded before every home game.

The subject was revisited after Mack Brown was hired as UNC’s new football coach in December.

Brown prefers the consistency of a synthetic field, especially in bad weather, and supported a similar change when he was at Texas.

If there was any doubt as to the direction the Tar Heels might go, it was erased after heavy rains turned Kenan’s field into a soupy mess, raising player safety concerns during the NCHSAA state championship games that were played there.

“Those state championship games were a bit of a tipping point,” said Rick Steinbacher, UNC’s senior associate AD for marketing and corporate sponsorships. “When we saw how bad it was for those games, I wouldn’t say it put us over the edge, but it was right about the time we were trying to make the decision.”

Work on the project began after UNC’s graduation ceremony last month and is scheduled to take about eight weeks. The new surface should be ready well in advance of the Tar Heels home opener, Sept. 7 against Miami.

It’s a process Mike Bunting of contractor Carolina Green said entails much more than simply digging up the grass and rolling out a carpet to replace it.

First the 10 inches of sand that served as the old field’s base must be dug out and replaced by a bed of stones that allow for better drainage. In addition to the existing infrastructure for sound systems, video and communications, additional wiring is in the process of being installed to support new and developing technology.

Duke, Carolina set to dominate NBA Draft Three Blue Devils, three Tar Heels expected to go in first round

By Shawn Krest North State Journal IN 2011, Kyrie Irving was selected first overall in the NBA Draft. He was the first Blue Devil taken in the first round since Gerald Henderson, two years earlier, and he started an incredible run for Duke players.

In the last eight drafts, NBA teams have chosen a Duke player every 14 picks, on average. The 31-pick gap between Brandon Ingram— chosen second overall in 2016—and Jayson Tatum—chosen third overall the following year—is the longest drought for the Blue Devils over that span. Only Kentucky, who has had a player chosen every 11 picks on average, can match Duke over the last eight years.

Duke has been so prolific at feeding the NBA, that if you throw out the first Blue Devil selected in the last eight drafts—a group that would include Irving, Austin Rivers, Mason Plumlee, Jabari Parker, Jahlil Okafor, Ingram, Tatum and Marvin Bagley—Duke has still accounted for nine other draft picks.

Only Kentucky and UNC have produced as many total first rounders over that span.

When the NBA starts reading off names in this year’s draft, which takes place in Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Thursday night, it won’t be long before Duke adds to its impressive streak.

Zion Williamson, the consensus player of the year this past season, is expected to be drafted first overall by New Orleans, who recent-

Nassir Little is slotted to go in the mid first round, with most mocks having him near the tail end of the lottery (top 14 picks). Assuming there aren’t any unexpected slides, that would mean that Williams’ last three players drafted would be oneand-done freshmen, dating back to Tony Bradley, who was taken in 2017.

The last Tar Heel with a chance to go in the first round is far from a one-and-done. Cameron Johnson, who spent parts of three years at Pitt before coming to Carolina for two seasons as a grad transfer, has impressed teams with his allaround play in the evaluation process. That goes with his elite shooting ability, demonstrated during his college career. The consensus is that Johnson should go in the early 20s.

After the first round, players drafted aren’t guaranteed a roster spot, but the second round could still feature some players with ties to the area.

Once that is done, a layer of shock-absorbing padding will be added before the turf finally goes down. The finishing touch will be approximately 115,000 pounds of infill, tiny rubberized pellets that make the field softer and help it look and feel more like actual grass.

The new surface was designed by a company called FitFields and is manufactured by AstroTurf. Although that brand name brings back memories of the earliest generations of fake grass, the state-of-the-art Root Zone 3D3 Blend being used at Kenan bears little resemblance to those oldschool fields that were little more than a layer of synthetic turf installed over a slab of concrete.

Rain made a mess of Kenan’s field during the high school playoffs.

“But then we played at the Georgia Dome and it must have been a newer kind. I’ll never forget walking out there and thinking ‘Wow, this isn’t that bad.’ It was actually soft. Since then it’s just gotten so much closer to natural grass. They always look so good and you can get so much more use out of them.”

Steinbacher said that the new field, which is part of a renovation project that also includes upgrades to the Tar Heels’ locker

room and weight facilities, will cost about $2 million to install.

Some of that price tag will be offset by the fact that the artificial surface won’t have to be constantly mowed, watered, fertilized or re-sodded every time it gets chewed up. Another benefit is that it can be used year around by programs other than football, in any kind of weather.

Bunting said that while most synthetic fields come with a manufacturer’s warranty of eight

years, many remain playable long beyond that timespan.

“People are weighing the life cycle costs of these fields, grass versus synthetic, and they’re starting to choose fields based on what their needs are,” Bunting said. “I don’t think we call it a trend in our business anymore. (Synthetic fields) are so prevalent up and down the spectrum of professional leagues all the way down to parks and rec. You find these fields now at every level.”

KEN BENNETT | COURTESY OF WAKE FOREST

Wake Forest introduced John Currie as the replacement for retiring longtime athletic director Ron Wellman on March 4 at Bridger Field House.

John Currie takes the reins of Wake Forest athletics

By Brett Freidlander North State Journal RALEIGH — Wake Forest has had only two athletic directors over the past 55 years, a continuity that is unprecedented in the “what have you done for me lately” world of college sports. So when Ron Wellman announced his retirement in March, it made sense that the Deacons would turn to one of their own to replace him.

John Currie began his career in athletic administration as an undergraduate intern under Wellman in 1993, and in the words of university president Nathan Hatch was “the perfect fit to follow in the footsteps of his mentor.”

The 47-year-old Chapel Hill native inherits a program that is, for the most part, in solid shape. But that doesn’t mean the job is without its challenges, not the least of which is an eventual decision about the future of men’s basketball coach Danny Manning.

Currie discussed that and a wide range of other issues in a recent interview with the North State Journal: NSJ: You’ve been on the job for a little over a month now. Have you settled in yet?

JC: I haven’t spent much time in the office.

I’ve mainly been out and about in the department and out visiting with our other constituents around our campus and across the state. I was named on March 4 and started officially on May 1, so I’ve been doing a lot of individual meetings. In one week, I think it was my third week on the job, I flew to Orlando for two days of semifinals in NCAA tennis then flew to Arkansas for the semifinals and finals of NCAA women’s golf.

We finished second in both, but even though it was disappointing not to win it’s not a bad thing to be No. 2 out of 350-some Division I schools.

NSJ: How has Wake Forest changed since you first arrived as a freshman in 1989?

JC: Thirty years ago this fall I came to Wake Forest, and I spent 10 years here. Then I went to Tennessee for 10 years and eight years at Kansas State. To come back here after 20 years away is very special for lots of reasons.

There are actually two business schools that have been built since I left. Certainly, there’s been a lot a tremendous amount of development under Ron Wellman’s leadership in our athletic facilities. We have spectacular facilities that are as good an infrastructure as anyone in the country and certainly as anyone in our state.

NSJ: With Wake Forest being something of an outlier among the Big Four because of its size and location, how do you overcome those issues and keep your program from lagging behind those at UNC, NC State and Duke?

JC: One of the cool things about the modern era is that we can be everywhere. Wake Forest’s alumni footprint is a worldwide footprint, even though it’s historically anchored in North Carolina. When you mention Big Four, that’s near and dear to my heart. I grew up on Tobacco Road (in Chapel

Hill), and I understand the competition between these schools, and we’re going to pay attention to that. This year, for the first time since 1921, Wake Forest will host Carolina, NC State and Duke in football all in the same year. We’re using that as an opportunity to remind people of what the Big Four means. The tremendous growth of the Triangle means that Wake Forest people have grown with it. Wake Forest alumni, friends, parents, fans, prospective students and student-athletes, the Raleigh market — along with Charlotte — are very important to our university like they are to everybody else.

NSJ: How do you get those people to support the Deacons by coming to games, since attendance annually ranks either last or next to last in the ACC in both football and men’s basketball.

JC: We’ve got a really big focus on our grassroots fanbase and reminding folks that you don’t have to graduate from Wake Forest to be a Wake Forest fan, just like you don’t have to graduate from Chapel Hill to be a Carolina fan. We’re actively promoting that.

Sometimes we talk about being the front porch of the university, but I think that’s a little overused. Coming to athletic events at Wake Forest should reflect the hospitality of our university. So one of the things that’s an advantage is that our facilities are easy to get to. We welcome people from around the state and around the region to come spend the day with us, drink a cold beer and watch the Deacons.

NSJ: Since you mentioned it, the issue of beer sales at college sports events is a hot topic these days. But Wake has been doing it for years. How is that working out?

JC: It’s all about fan experience, and being able to buy a cold beer at a ballgame is something that some people like. Some people don’t care for it, and they don’t have to partake. It’s on us to run a responsible event, and we’ve had zero problems since Wake Forest began offering that amenity.

NSJ: The Deacons’ first three football games this season are on Friday nights, including two of them at home. Is that something you’d like to continue under your watch?

JC: Our preferred day for college football is always going to be on Saturday. The reality of the past 30 years in college football is that the ability to have games on Thursday nights and on some rare occasions Friday nights has been good for the game from an exposure standpoint. Frank Beamer built his program’s notoriety at Virginia Tech by playing those awesome Thursday-night environment games.

I think there’s a place for that. Not everyone can come on Saturday at noon. That’s not the best time either, especially early in the year versus playing at 7 o’clock at night. But certainly, our preferred day is still Saturday.

NSJ: Having spent 10 years Tennessee, an SEC school, how does that league compare to the ACC? JC: I’ve got 26 years in three leagues — the ACC, the SEC and the Big 12. There are

certainly different nuances to all of them.

From a conference level, all three have great interrelationships between their schools. Fans in this league have as good a perspective as anyone in the country. From a Wake Forest perspective, our fans have spoken loud and clear that the academic integrity of the student-athlete experience is very important, as is compliance integrity and safety. We will never compromise on those standards in the pursuit of victory. The good thing, we’ve shown at Wake Forest, is that those two things are not incongruent. You look at Wake Forest under Dave Clawson’s leadership, we’re among the top 10% of programs in academic performance, and we’ve won three bowl games in a row.

NSJ: Outside of men’s basketball, you’re taking over an athletic department that appears to be thriving. Does that make your transition any easier?

JC: We are very fortunate at Wake Forest.

I’m not replacing Ron Wellman. I’m just the next up after 27 years of Ron’s incredible leadership which followed 28 years under Dr. Gene Hooks. Our president, Dr. Nathan Hatch, has been a remarkable leader not just for Wake Forest, but the Atlantic Coast Conference in terms of adding more to the student-athlete experience and the value of a scholarship. We want to continue to build on this foundation of excellence, and we’ve got some real opportunities.

NSJ: How much have you leaned on Ron during your transition?

JC: Ron set the foundation I’ve practiced my whole career. He was by the office the other day. We have a pattern of getting together, and I know he’s only a phone call or text away.”

NSJ: How much say did you have in the decision to retain Danny Manning, or was that call made by Ron before you got here?

JC: Ron is the best person to evaluate where the program is and was at that time. As he said at the press conference on March 4, that would be his evaluation. He did talk about things with me and we’ve had a great passing of the torch joint meeting with Coach Manning. Since then I’ve spent quite a bit of time talking to Coach Manning. It’s been quite a bit of fun getting to know him better and learning about the program. All of us want the same thing. Where Wake Forest is in men’s basketball right now is not the Wake Forest standard from an on-court standpoint.

The bottom line is that we’ve got to get better.

NSJ: Were you surprised at the backlash that surrounded your attempt at hiring Greg Schiano at Tennessee? What did you learn from that experience?

JC: Ultimately, I’m really proud of what we accomplished in my time at Tennessee. I spent 10 years there and have a lot of friends there. We got a lot of good things done. That situation was really unprecedented in college sports. We dealt with that in the best manner we could and continued to operate with honor and integrity with our student-athletes’ best interests in mind.

“We are very fortunate at Wake Forest. I’m not replacing Ron Wellman. I’m just the next up after 27 years of Ron’s incredible leadership which followed 28 years under Dr. Gene Hooks. … We want to continue to build on this foundation of excellence, and we’ve got some real opportunities.”

Hurricanes hope quantity equals quality at NHL Draft Carolina will pick near the end of Round 1, but the team holds four of the draft’s first 59 picks this year

By Cory Lavalette North State Journal RALEIGH — The crown jewels of the 2019 NHL Draft class are two dominant forwards: American center Jack Hughes and Finnish power forward Kaapo Kakko.

The New Jersey Devils, who hold the first overall pick thanks to a fortuitous ping pong ball bounce that moved them up two slots, are seemingly going to get a star player regardless of whom they choose between Hughes and Kakko.

Hughes has long been considered the prize of the 2019 draft, and with good reason. Despite his slight frame (5-foot-10, 171 pounds), Hughes is considered a can’t-miss star thanks to his skating, skills and smarts. Kakko, on the other hand, has already proven he can play against men by putting up big numbers in Liiga. He further starred at the World Juniors, helping Finland to gold, and then scored six goals in 10 games in the World Championships to earn another gold with his native country.

The Carolina Hurricanes — like the Devils and Rangers this year — benefitted from the lottery last June, selecting Andrei Svechnikov with the second overall pick after moving up in the draft lottery. But after their run to the Eastern Con-

Kaapo Kakko, left, and Jack Hughes, right, are the consensus top‑two players in the 2019 NHL Draft class. ference Final this spring, the Hurricanes are set to draft 28th overall in the first round on Friday in Vancouver, the lowest the team has picked in Round 1 in franchise history (Carolina traded its firstround pick in 2006, which ended up 30th overall, to get Doug Weight). The final six rounds of the draft will be held Saturday.

Team owner Tom Dundon has already decreed that the team will not use first-round picks on

defensemen, but with three second-round picks (36th, 37th — both acquired by trade — and 59th) and 10 picks total, Carolina has plenty of draft ammunition to restock its prospect cupboards or use its extra picks to make roster improvements.

North State Journal’s annual NHL Draft Guide ranks the top 100 prospects and spotlights a few players the Hurricanes could target or are worth keeping an eye on.

10 PEYTON KREBS

A couple weeks ago, we wouldn’t have bothered talking about Peyton Krebs as a possibility for the Hurricanes to select at the end of the first round. Unfortunately for the Kootenay Ice center, he suffered a skate laceration to his Achilles tendon that required surgery and will certainly impact his draft status.

That’s terrible news for the 18-year-old who had 19 goals and 49 assists in his second full Western Hockey League season, but it does mean he could slide down teams’ draft boards. Is the injury enough to drop him to the bottom of the first round? It’s impossible to know, but Krebs was once a consensus lottery pick and now may not be.

Krebs is the type of player the Hurricanes tend to target: hard-working, shines in the biggest moments and a leader on the ice.

Peyton Krebs, left, was expected to be a lottery pick but suffered an Achilles tendon injury that could impact his draft status.

28 SPENCER KNIGHT Spencer Knight is the clear-cut top goalie in this year’s draft. The Connecticut native and Boston College-bound netminder starred for the U.S. National Team Development Program this past season, and he owns everything talent evaluators look for in a young goalie. Size? Check. Athleticism?

G, 6-4, 193 POUNDS Got it. Technique? Wise beyond his years.

All that said, projecting goalies is the toughest part of the scouting business, and there are more firstround flameouts than success stories.

The Hurricanes took goalie Jacob Kucharski in the seventh

31 CONNOR MCMICHAEL London Knights center Connor McMichael exploded in his second Ontario Hockey League season, going from 16 points a year ago (split between London and Hamilton) to 72 points this season, including 36 goals.

But what may interest Carolina

most about McMichael is his play away from the puck.

The Ajax, Ontario, native can put up points, but — like Hurricanes second-round pick Jack Drury last year — he is also a responsible two-way player who can be relied on to play in any situation.

38 RYAN JOHNSON The Hurricanes have done well with American-born defensemen in recent years. Justin Faulk, Brett Pesce and Jaccob Slavin were all NCAA blueliners the team drafted and developed into top-four defenders.

Johnson fits the mold.

The smooth-skating, California-born defenseman doesn’t turn 18 until late July and won’t go to the University of Minnesota, where he’s committed, until 2020.

The son of former NHL forward Craig Johnson — one piece that came back to the Kings when they traded Wayne Gretzky to St. Louis in 1996 — the younger Johnson hasn’t shown off great offensive skills yet, but that could still come as he matures.

C, 6-0, 182 POUNDS London has been a factory for high-end players (Mitch Marner, Matthew Tkachuk, Evan Bouchard, to name a few), and the Knights also seem to get the best out of their roster. The question is whether McMichael is another Max Domi or Bo Horvat, or another Cliff Pu.

100 ANTTI SAARELA Finland’s Antii Saarela won’t get selected until the draft’s second day, but it’s worth talking about the brother of Hurricanes prospect Aleksi.

The younger Saarela split time between the top and second Finnish league with Lukko last season,

round a year ago and have drafted at least one in every year since 2014 (when they picked Alex Nedeljkovic in the second round).

If Knight falls down to Carolina, it’s possible they could take him — particulary if he slides all the way down to their 36th of 37th overall pick in the second round.

NSJ’s 2019 NHL Draft Top 100 Prospects

C, 6-0, 190 POUNDS registering two goals and eight assists in 24 games against the men in Liiga.

Unlike his older brother, who possesses a top-flight shot that allowed him to score 55 goals with Charlotte over the past two seasons, Antti is more of a rounded

player without any standout attributes. He skates and thinks the game well, and he’s sturdy enough to hold his own in his end.

He’s performed well in international play, which is a big plus for any overseas player when they are being evaluated.

Hurricanes draft picks The Hurricanes have 10 picks heading into this weekend’s NHL Draft, including five in the first 90 selections.

Carolina’s first three draft choices will taken in a 10-pick span — the team’s first-round selection is at No. 28, followed by consecutive picks at 36th and 37th that were acquired in trades with the Sabres and the Rangers, respectively. The Hurricanes own second-round pick is No. 59.

Carolina then has its own draft choices in the third (90th), fourth (121st), fifth (152nd) and sixth (183rd) rounds. The Hurricanes also have Calgary’s sixth-round selection, the 181st pick, that they acquired in a trade with the Flames that included their own 2019 seventh-round sent west.

Carolina also has Boston’s seventh-round draft choice, acquired from the Rangers in exchange for the Hurricanes’ seventh-rounder last year.

Republican Sen. Brent Jackson of Sampson County demonstrates a potential field test that could help law enforcement officers discern whether a substance is legal hemp or illegal marijuana. A bill expanding the state’s pilot hemp growing industry was passed by the Senate on Monday. Jackson introduced an amendment that would delay a proposed ban on smokable hemp until December 2020, giving lawmakers a chance to figure out the best way to regulate the fast-growing hemp industry.

FAST FACTS Sponsored by

VBC | Manufacturing - Hamlet, a producer of pre-fabricated building components for the construction industry, will open a manufacturing facility in Richmond County, creating 130 new jobs, Governor Roy Cooper announced this week.

The company, a division of the Volumetric Building Companies (VBC), will invest more than $12 million in Hamlet within the next three years.

VBC manufactures prefabricated components that are used in the multi-family residential, student housing, and hospitality construction markets. Volumetric modular construction is a fast-growing segment of the construction trade that streamlines the process of building by integrating design, engineering, construction and management into an off-site, vertically integrated supply chain. The company will operate a facility previously run by Ritz-Craft Corporation. The new plant will produce ‘volumes,’ a term used to describe modular units used for high density residential construction. VBC will enhance the plant’s current capabilities with investments in the plant building, its workforce, and new technology.

“Getting the opportunity to grow with an existing group of dedicated workers, to create the factory of the future together, is an amazing opportunity,” said Vaughan Buckley, VBC’s owner and President “Companies have many choices when selecting a manufacturing location,” said North Carolina Commerce Secretary Anthony M. Copeland. “North Carolina’s list of advantages, from our favorable business climate to our workforce and transportation networks, continues to draw forward-looking manufacturers and we are committed to working to continue this growth across our state for years to come.”

VBC’s site location decision creates new opportunities for production personnel, logistics handlers, and office staff.

Although wages will vary by position, the average salary for all the new positions will reach $39,270. The current average wage in Richmond County is $34,008.

Growers hope standards bring order to hemp industry ‘mess’ North Carolina is one of four U.S. states to establish hemp seed certification as the number of licensed hemp acres skyrockets to serve new CBD market, expected to jump from $618 million to $22 billion by 2022

By Gillian Flaccus The Associated Press AURORA, Ore./RALEIGH — A unit of wheat is called a bushel, and a standard weight of potatoes is called a century. But hemp as a fully legal U.S. agricultural commodity is so new that a unit of hemp seed doesn’t yet have a universal name or an agreed-upon quantity.

That’s one example of the startling lack of uniformity — and accountability — in an industry that’s sprung up almost overnight since the U.S. late last year removed hemp from the controlled substances list.

A global hemp research lab announced last week in Oregon, coupled with a nascent national review board for hemp varieties and a handful of seed certification programs nationwide, are the first stabs at addressing those concerns — and at creating accountability by standardizing U.S. hemp for a global market.

“If you look at a lot of financial markets, they’re all saying, ‘People are investing in this, and we have no idea what to divide it by,” said Jay Noller, head of Oregon State University’s new Global Hemp Innovation Center. “We have hemp fiber. What is it? What’s the standard length?”

Oregon State’s research hub will be the United States’ largest and will offer a certification for hemp seed that guarantees farmers the seed they’re buying is legitimate and legal. That’s a critical need when individual hemp seeds are selling for $1.20 to $1.40 each — and an acre of crop takes up to 2,000 seeds, Noller said.

Four other states — North Dakota, Colorado, Tennessee and North Carolina — also have hemp seed certification programs. Other U.S. universities, such as Cornell in Ithaca, New York, have hemp research programs, but Oregon State’s will be the largest, built on years of hemp research done in test fields in China, Bosnia and Serbia and now at 10 research stations sprinkled across the state.

Across the U.S., the number of licensed acres of hemp jumped 204% from 2017 to 2018, according to Vote Hemp. And the market for a hemp-derived extract called cannabidiol, or CBD, is expected to grow from $618 million in 2018 to $22 billion in 2022 as its popularity as a health aide skyrockets.

The U.S. National Review Board for Hemp Varieties will start taking applications in the fall from growers who want to claim credit for specific genetic varieties of hemp. Once growers have secured a unique designation from the board, they can apply for a plant patent with the U.S. government so no other grower can produce that type of hemp.

A meeting in Harbin, China, in early July will bring together members of the global hemp industry to start to hash out critical details such as what to call a unit of hemp seed or the standard length of hemp fiber, Noller said. Other countries, such as China, have been growing hemp for years, but the industry lacks a universal standard countries can apply to trade, he said.

“This is the first time in U.S. history where we have a new crop that’s suddenly gone from prohibited to no longer prohibited,” Noller said.

“We have never had something like this.”

Bad seeds Some novice farmers are falling prey to seed sellers who secretly, or even unwittingly, market seed that grows into “hot” cannabis plants, with THC levels too high to market legally as hemp, he said.

Hemp and marijuana are both

cannabis plants but have different THC levels. Marijuana, illegal under federal law, refers to plants with more than a trace of THC. Hemp has almost no THC — 0.3% or less under U.S. government standards.

States with hemp programs test for THC in the crops, but do so after the plants are grown and close to harvest. Crops that test over the THC limit for hemp must be destroyed — and farmers with bad seed might not know until it’s too late, Willison said.

In one case last year, an Oregon seed seller marketed seeds on Craigslist as having a 3-to-1 CBD to THC ratio — but unbeknownst to farmers, the THC levels were still too high to be legal, he said. Several farms in Wisconsin, where agricultural hemp was just getting underway, bought the seeds and then went under when the resulting plants tested “hot,” Willison said.

The seeds “look identical, and you can’t tell them apart until four months into the year, when you know something’s wrong,” he said.

“A bunch of farms failed, and it originated in Oregon.”

N.C. exploring new territory As NSJ reported earlier this month, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation backed a bill including a proposed ban on smokable hemp during this legislative session, saying that it’s difficult for law enforcement to discern legal smokable hemp, which does not produce a high, from the more potent, and illegal, marijuana.

However, in addition to industrial production of paper, clothing, construction materials and biofuels, N.C. farmers argue smokable hemp is also a highly profitable product within the hemp industry and that banning it would hurt them at a time where many in the traditional tobacco-farming state are dealing with hurricane damage and decreased tobacco prices.

Pfizer to buy Array BioPharma in deal worth $11.4 billion The Associated Press NEW YORK — Pfizer is delving deeper into cancer research with a roughly $11.4 billion deal for Array BioPharma, a drug developer that has seen its shares soar since announcing positive clinical trial results earlier this spring.

Pfizer said Monday it will pay $48 per share in cash for Array, whose product portfolio includes a treatment combination used for

advanced skin cancer that is being tested in other cancers as well.

The company said last month that its combination of the drugs Braftovi and Mektovi along with another treatment led to a significant improvement in overall survival in late-stage testing for some patients with colorectal cancer.

The company plans to submit results from that study to U.S. regulators for approval later this year.

Array’s share price has jumped 41 percent since late May and

more than doubled so far this year. Pfizer’s offer of $48 per share represents a premium of 62 percent to the stock’s closing price of $29.59 on Friday.

Shares of Boulder, Colorado-based Array BioPharma Inc. surged 60 percent before Monday’s opening bell.

New York-based Pfizer Inc., which makes the breast cancer drug Ibrance and the blood thinner Eliquis, said the boards of both companies have approved

the deal. It will finance the deal with debt and cash, and it expects the transaction to add to earnings per share starting in 2022.

Pfizer, the biggest U.S. drugmaker by revenue, has had several drug approvals in the U.S. or elsewhere so far this year. But it also saw a heavily touted pain drug flop in late-stage clinical testing, placing the drug’s future in doubt.

Pfizer shares edged down 5 cents to $42.70 in premarket trading after the announcement.

C2 Boeing signs first deal for 737 Max jet since deadly crashes Paris Boeing announced at the Paris Air Show on Tuesday that International Airlines Group, the parent company of British Airways and other carriers, signed a letter of intent for 200 Boeing 737 aircraft. The company said it’s the first sale of the jet since the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max in March. Another 737 Max crashed in Indonesia last year, and the planes are now grounded amid an investigation into problematic software. The combination of 737-Max 8 and 737-Max 10 planes would cost $24 billion at list prices, though companies usually strike deals for discounts. Analysts had predicted that Boeing might try to announce some Max orders at the air show to demonstrate that the plane one of Boeing’s most popular models - still has support.

After a lackluster start to the Paris Air Show, Boeing’s orders picked up Tuesday.

It announced a deal with Korean Air and Air Lease Corporation for a total of 30 long-range 787 jets, and worth $6.3 billion at list prices.

Stocks surge after Trump says he’ll meet with Xi next week New York Stocks rose sharply on Wall Street Tuesday as traders cheered news that the leaders of the U.S. and China will meet face-to-face next week to discuss their long-running trade dispute. President Donald Trump said he will hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping at a summit of nations in Japan.

Investors are hoping for any positive sign in the trade war between the world’s largest economies. U.S. businesses have implored Trump to stop escalating the trade war and refrain from expanding his tariffs to $300 billion on goods from China. European markets jumped after the head of the European Central Bank said it was ready to cut interest rates and provide other economic stimulus if necessary. That puts the spotlight on the Federal Reserve, which is set to announce its own decision on interest rates Wednesday.

HEMP from page C1 makers amended the bill to include language delaying any ban on smokable hemp until Dec. 1, 2020, giving them time to figure out how to regulate the budding industry.

Jackson said he believed devices would soon be on the market that would allow law enforcement to test whether a substance is legal hemp or illegal marijuana.

“I don’t see it taking until Dec. 1, 2020 before one of these or many different types of these are on the market,” he said.

This type of field test, Jackson said, could address law enforcement concerns around smokable hemp, and if they become more available, he said he expects lawmakers will revisit the issue.

The bill containing the delayed ban was passed in the Senate this week and will now head to the House, where Jackson thinks it has a good chance of passage because many lawmakers want to position North Carolina, which has over 600 licensed hemp growers and 400 registered hemp processors, as a leader in the lucrative industry.

In this Jan. 9, 2019, file photo, media and guests tour Facebook’s new 130,000-square-foot offices, which occupy the top three floors of a 10-story Cambridge, Mass., building. Facebook unveiled a broad plan Tuesday, June 18, to create a new digital currency.

Facebook plans its own currency for 2 billion-plus users

By Rachel Lerman The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook already rules daily communication for more than two billion people around the world. Now it wants its own currency, too.

The social network unveiled an ambitious plan Tuesday to create a new digital currency similar to Bitcoin for global use, one that could drive more e-commerce on its services and boost ads on its platforms.

But the effort, which Facebook is launching with partners including PayPal, Uber, Spotify, Visa and Mastercard, could also complicate matters for the beleaguered social network. Facebook is currently under federal investigation over its privacy practices, and along with other technology giants also faces a new antitrust probe in Congress.

Creating its own globe-spanning currency — one that could conceivably threaten banks, national currencies and the privacy of users — isn’t likely to dampen regulators’ interest in Facebook.

The digital currency, called Libra, is scheduled to launch sometime in the next six to 12 months.

Facebook is taking the lead on building Libra and its underlying technology; its more than two dozen partners will help fund, build and govern the system. Facebook hopes to raise as much as $1 billion from existing and future partners to support the effort.

Company officials emphasized

Libra as a way of sending money across borders without incurring significant fees, such as those charged by Western Union and other international money-transfer services. Libra could also open up online commerce to huge numbers of people around the world who currently don’t have bank accounts or credit cards.

“If you fast forward a number of years, consumers all over the world will have the ability to access the world economy,” Facebook executive David Marcus said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Facebook also could use its own currency to drive more people to make purchases from ads on its social media sites, said Gartner analyst Avivah Litan, who based her comments on press reports about Libra that preceded Facebook’s formal announcement.

“This is about fostering more sales within an ad to get more business from advertisers to make ads more interesting on Facebook,” she said.

Backing by familiar corporations might also make Libra the first Bitcoin-like currency with mass appeal. Such “cryptocurrencies” have generally failed to catch on despite a devout following among curious investors and innovators. Bitcoin itself remains shrouded in secrecy and fraud concerns, not to mention wild value fluctuations, making it unappealing for the average shopper.

Libra will be different, Facebook says, in part because its value will be pegged to a basket of estab-

lished currencies such as the U.S. dollar, the euro, the yen and others. Each purchase of Libra will be backed by a reserve fund of equal value held in real-world currencies to stabilize Libra’s value.

To be sure, recent history reminds us that many big Facebook announcements never really take off. Two years ago, for instance, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised that “augmented reality ,” in which phones and other devices project digital images into real-world surroundings, would be a major focus for the company.

Such AR applications remain all but invisible today. Same goes for the online shopping chatbots that Zuckerberg unveiled a year earlier, saying they would revolutionize e-commerce in its Messenger app.

Facebook won’t run Libra directly; instead, the company and its partners are forming a nonprofit called the Libra Association, headquartered in Geneva, that will oversee the new currency and its use. The association will be regulated by Swiss financial authorities, Facebook said.

“No single company should operate this,” Marcus said. “It should be a public good.”

The company has also created a new subsidiary, Calibra, that is developing a digital wallet to allow people to buy, send and use Libra.

Calibra pledges that it won’t share transaction data from details of Libra user’s financials with Facebook unless compelled to do so in criminal cases. Still, if people are using Facebook products to buy

things and send money, it’s possible Facebook will be able to track some data about shopping and money transferring habits.

Calibra won’t require users to have a Facebook account to make a free wallet. And it will allow people to send Libra back and forth on two of Facebook’s core messaging apps — WhatsApp and Messenger. Instagram messages won’t be included, at least at first.

Libra partners will create incentives to get people and merchants to use the coin. That could range from Uber discounts to a Libra bonus paid when users set up a Calibra wallet, although the companies haven’t laid out specifics.

Many privacy questions remain unanswered, though. Cryptocurrencies such as Libra store all transactions on a widely distributed, encrypted “ledger” known as the blockchain. That could make the Libra blockchain a permanent record of all purchases or cash transfers every individual makes, even if they’re stored under pseudonyms rather than real names.

Facebook said that if people use Calibra or similar wallets, their individual transactions won’t be visible on the Libra blockchain.

Earlier this year, Zuckerberg announced a new privacy-focused vision for the company after months of backlash for its treatment of personal customer information. Zuckerberg’s vision — which has mostly not been detailed publicly — will rely heavily on privacy-shielded messaging apps in an attempt to make the services more about private, oneto-one connections.

Many analysts believe Zuckerberg wants to create a U.S. version of the Chinese service WeChat, which combines social networking, messaging and payments in a single app. Libra would take Facebook a step closer to that end.

Sotheby’s sold! French-Israeli billionaire pays $3.7B The oldest company traded in the NYSE has been sold to a longtime client

“This acquisition will provide Sotheby’s with the opportunity to accelerate the successful program of growth initiatives of the past several years in a more flexible private environment.”

The Associated Press NEW YORK — The 275 year old auction house Sotheby’s is being sold to a French Israeli business man for about $3.7 billion.

Sotheby’s, founded in London in 1744, is the oldest company traded on the New York Stock Exchange. If the deal is approved by shareholders and regulators, Sotheby’s would become a privately held company for the first time in more than three decades.

The New York company, which started in London, holds auctions in 10 salesrooms worldwide with annual sales turnover exceeding $4 billion.

It reported an adjusted profit last year of close to $130 million and revenue of more than $1 billion.

“Sotheby’s is one of the most elegant and aspirational brands in the world, said the buyer, Patrick Drahi. “As a longtime client and lifetime admirer of the company, I am acquiring Sotheby’s together with my family.”

Drahi, 54, is the founder and controlling shareholder of Altice, which provides telecommunications services in France and else-

The French billionaire has expanded his telecom and media operations internationally, with businesses in Portugal, Israel, the U.S. and Dominican Republic. Altice bought the New York-area Cablevision cable company in 2015.

Drahi, through his BidFair USA company, will pay $57 per share, a 61% premium to the Sotheby’s closing stock price Friday.

“This acquisition will provide Sotheby’s with the opportunity to accelerate the successful program of growth initiatives of the

past several years in a more flexible private environment,” Sotheby’s CEO Tad Smith said in a prepared statement.

Sotheby’s counterpart in London, Christies, founded by James Christie in 1766, was sold to another French business man, François Pinault, in the late 1980s. It too was taken private.

The first reported sale by Sotheby’s, for “several Hundred scarce and valuable Books in all branches of Polite Literature,” was made on March 11, 1744.

The company moved from Wellington Street off the Strand in London, to New Bond Street in Mayfair early in the 20th century and with the move transitioned from being largely a seller of books, to a seller of art.

At the beginning of this century, masterpieces under the gavel at Sotheby’s included Pablo Picasso’s Garçon à la pipe ($104.2 million), Andy Warhol’s Silver Car Crash ($108.4 million). Peter Paul Rubens’ The Massacre of the Innocents was sold in London ($86 million).

In 2012, it sold Edvard Munch’s The Scream for nearly $120 million, the most expensive artwork ever to sell at auction.

Shares of Sotheby’s jumped almost 60% in Monday trading.

Records shattered as Big Rock goes into overtime Largest marlin ever hits scales in OT

By Shawn Krest North State Journal MOREHEAD CITY — Good things come to those who wait, as Top Dog proved with an overtime win at the 61st annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament.

The Maryland-based boat was one of five competitors with a marlin on the line when the tournament’s official end time arrived at 2:00 PM Saturday. Big Rock rules allow boats still fighting with a fish on the line to continue past the deadline, however. So the tournament went into overtime.

It would go deep into overtime, with the tournament not having official results until nearly nine hours later.

Top Dog put in a five hour battle before angler Todd Dickerson finally landed his catch, which only partially fit on the boat, with the rest hanging out the back, through a tuna door. Captain Ryan Knapp then spent another 90 minutes getting it to the scales. Part of the trouble was the fact that the marlin was 15 feet long and weighed 914 pounds, shattering the Big Rock record for largest marlin in tournament history.

Top Dog’s catch beat the second-place finisher—Wolverine, who brought in a 588.9-pound marlin on day one and spent the rest of the week as the leader— by more than 325 pounds. It also topped the 19-year-old previous tourney record of 831 pounds, by Summertime Blues, by a hefty margin.

The tournament started with one of the biggest days in Big Rock history—with more than a half dozen marlin delivered to the scales and multiple changes atop the leaderboard. Wolverine emerged from the opening scrum with the lead and held it until the Saturday ending time.

A midweek storm slowed fishing, allowing Wolverine to keep its spot at the top. On Thursday, just one boat chose to go out to fish— competitors may only fish four of the six days. By Saturday, however, the marlins were back and snapping at bait. Five were caught on Saturday—four of them in overtime.

Top Dog took home the $793,188 first prize from Big Rock’s record-high $2.8 million purse. Wolverine took home $289,862 for second place.

Theresa Jean, another boat that fought into overtime, came in third with a 582.1-pounder worth $192,575. The Theresa Jean actually had two marlins on the line when overtime began and boated the larger one after a six-hour battle.

That late catch knocked Sweetums off the podium. The Texas-based boat was the first atop the Big Rock leaderboard, winning more than $531,000 by taking the Fabulous Fisherman prize for the first 500-pound catch of the tournament as part of the wild opening day.

Top Dog wasn’t the only boat to set a Big Rock record this year.

The Predator landed a 145.1-pound tuna on Friday, which is believed to be the largest in Big Rock history. Catching any tuna at all is a Big Rock rarity, as fishermen have only landed three in the last four tournaments. The catch was worth $5,000 to the Predator and was more than 105 pounds heavier than the second-place Voodoo Child’s catch.

The weekly dolphin competition was won by Job Site, who landed a 53.7 pounder worth $5,000. The boat added more than $360,000 in winner-take-all dolphin prize money (another Big Rock record).

Uno Mas brought home the biggest Wahoo at 59.3 pounds and also won $5,000.

The Annie O, captained by Raleigh’s Brad Sutton, won the week’s catch and release marlin competition, landing four blue marlins as well as a white and a sailfish worth 1,850 points. The haul was worth a total of $147,000.

Drillin & Billin finished second with four blue marlins worth 1,600 points. They took home $85,000 for second place and added another $57,000 in winner take all competition. The Full Pull caught three blue marlins for 1,200 points and $56,000. They doubled their winnings in winner take all.

The Starflite, Viking 80 and Goombay all won $56,000 daily prizes in catch and release.

For the week, the 184 competitors caught and released 80 blue marlin, 54 white marlin, 17 sailfish and two spearfish. More than 15 marlins were brought in to the scales to be weighed. None of them were—or have ever been— bigger than the one Top Dog produced.

The Archbishop of Paris Michel Aupetit, second left, leads the first mass in a side chapel, two months after a devastating fire engulfed the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral, Saturday June 15, 2019, in Paris.

Notre Dame celebrates 1st Mass since fire The Associated Press PARIS — The archbishop wore a hard-hat helmet, burnt wood debris was still visible and only about 30 people were let inside, but Notre Dame Cathedral on Saturday held its first Mass since the devastating April 15th fire that ravaged its roof and toppled its masterpiece spire.

Exactly two months after the blaze engulfed the landmark Gothic building in the French capital, the service was celebrated by Paris Archbishop Michel Aupetit in a chapel behind the choir, a place confirmed by construction experts as safe.

French Culture Minister Franck Riester said this week the cathedral remains in a “fragile” state, especially its vaulted ceiling, which is still at risk of collapsing.

For security reasons, only about 30 people — mainly priests, canons and church employees — were admitted inside the cathedral for the service, while Aupetit and others wore construction worker’s helmets. Some of the workers rebuilding the church were also invited.

Other worshippers could watch the Mass live on a Catholic TV

station. The video showed some burnt wood still in the church but a famous statue of the Virgin and Child appeared intact behind wooden construction planks.

The annual Dedication Mass commemorated the cathedral’s consecration as a place of worship.

“This cathedral is a place of worship, it is its very own and unique purpose,” Aupetit said.

One French priest called the service “a true happiness, full of hope.”

“We will rebuild this cathedral.

It will take time of course — a lot of money, lot of time, lot of work — but we will succeed,” Father Pierre Vivares told The Associated Press outside the cathedral. “Today it’s a small but a true victory against the disaster we have had.”

It is still unclear when the cathedral will reopen to the public.

French President Emmanuel Macron has set a goal of rebuilding it in just five years, which many experts consider unrealistic.

In the meantime, the French parliament is debating amendments to a new law that would create a public body to expedite the restoration of the cathedral and circumvent some of France’s complex labor laws.

Ulysses S. Grant’s Detroit home to be moved, renovated The Associated Press

DANIEL MEARS | DETROIT NEWS VIA AP

The former home of Ulysses S. Grant when he was stationed in Detroit as a lieutenant in the mid1800s sits at the former Michigan State Fairgrounds in Detroit in this 2018 photo, vacant and boarded up for years. Later in 2019 it will move to the Eastern Market area, where it will become a public education and resource center.

DETROIT — The Detroit home of President Ulysses S. Grant is being moved from the former Michigan State Fairgrounds to the Eastern Market, where it will be refashioned as a public education and resource center.

Sandra Clark, the director the Michigan History Center, said Thursday that the two-story white clapboard house that was built in the 1830s will be renovated and established as a museum to celebrate the nation’s 18th president.

“This will not be a traditional house museum,” said Clark. “Our hope is to make it a place to explore Grant’s life and the impact he made on Detroit while living here and in his later actions as a Civil War general and U.S. president.”

Grant lived at the house with his wife, Julia Dent, from April of 1849 until May of 1850. Their first son, Frederick, was born while they lived there.

The Michigan State Housing and Development Authority has provided a grant to support the move. Clark said it could cost as much as $200,000 to get the

house ready to relocate. The move is tentatively scheduled for August, but the operation to renovate and secure the property could take as long as two years.

The home was saved from demolition in 1936 when the Michigan Mutual Liability Co. insurance company bought it and presented it as a gift to the fairgrounds. The home was relocated in 1958 within the grounds to its current spot.

HistoricDetroit.org says the building is being moved to make way for development on the fairgrounds, which have been dormant since 2008.

The house will be positioned in the Eastern Market among gardens and an orchard that Clark said would mirror its original setting. In a letter to Dent, Grant described “a garden filled with the best kind of fruit ... a long arbour grown over with vines that will bear fine grapes in abundance for us and to give away” including currants, plums and peaches.

Heritage Michigan, the private foundation that supports the history center, is developing a campaign to fund the renovation and programming for the house.

‘Gosh!’ Cult comedy ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ turns 15

By Lindsay White-Hurst The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — The cult comedy Napoleon Dynamite turns 15 years old this month, a milestone for a movie that became an early breakaway hit in today’s era of pop-culture geek celebration.

The movie created the “Vote for Pedro” T-shirt and made Napoleon’s disgusted version of “gosh!” into a 2004 catchphrase.

Made for just $400,000 by a group of recently graduated Brigham Young University film students, it would ultimately gross more than $46 million after its June 2004 release. A word-ofmouth hit before Twitter and Facebook took off, it was part of a handful of independent comedies that took off in the early 2000s.

“Napoleon Dynamite” tells the story of its curly-headed, socially awkward title character who ultimately triumphs over the high school jocks and cheerleaders because of his quirks, rather than in spite of them.

Its success added to a rising

profile for the world’s unapologetic nerds at the beginning of a new wave of geek glory. “The Big Bang Theory,” would debut a few years later and become television’s top-rated sitcom, while comic book movies achieved box office dominance.

The husband and wife team of Jared and Jerusha Hess mined true-to-life oddball high school moments, from a musical sign language club to puffy-sleeved dresses for school dances. There were also nods to rural life in the tiny city of Preston, Idaho, like the much-quoted line drawn from Napoleon’s mealtime call to the family llama: “Tina, you fat lard, come get some dinner.”

The combination struck comedic gold.

“I think the legacy of the movie is how original it is,” said Glenn Williamson, an independent film producer and lecturer at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Theater, Film and Television. “I like to think something else like that would find an audience today, because I do think people respond to

that authentic freshness.”

Shot in just over three weeks, the movie made a splash at the Sundance Film Festival even though it was submitted before director Jared Hess thought it was ready.

But producer Jeremy Coon said he knew they had something special from the first edit.

“All of us were starving students coming out of school. A lot was riding on it,” said Coon, who borrowed the money to make the movie from his brother.

Fox Searchlight snapped it up for nearly $5 million, a princely sum at the time.

It started off relatively small in theaters, but with clever marketing and word of mouth, people kept coming back. Nearly three months after its release, it was still earning just as much money per theater, said Bruce Nash, founder and publisher of The Numbers, a movie industry tracking website.

“You don’t really see that today,” he said. The popularity kept up even as it went to DVD. Most movies with similar longevity were meant to be serious

awards contenders or were created by established writers and directors, he said. They also tend to be dramas.

Among the few other comedies are “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” ‘’Little Miss Sunshine,” and “Juno,” all also released in the early 2000s.

While those were low budget by Hollywood standards, none were on a “Napoleon Dynamite”-level shoestring.

“It still really stands out even among the other films that had similar legs around the same time,” Nash said.

It has a DIY aesthetic that reflects the way the movie was made: Napoleon’s signature puffy snow boots were two decades old and borrowed from an uncle. Almost all the costumes came from thrift stores, and they gathered extras for big scenes with the promise of a hot-dog boil. His effervescent dance that wins the day at the movie’s climax was mostly unchoreographed.

Jon Heder, who played Napoleon, went on to star with Will Ferrell in the comedy “Blades of Glory” in 2007 and in recent years has

been doing TV and film voice work.

The Hesses made “Nacho Libre” with Jack Black shortly after Napoleon Dynamite, and later Jerusha Hess directed the 2013 romantic comedy “Austenland.”

Tina Majorino had a comeback with her role as Deb, and the onetime child star has since appeared in shows ranging from “Veronica Mars” to “Grey’s Anatomy.”

The movie has also spawned a cartoon and, more recently, a comic book sequel. A “Vote for Pedro” shirt showed up on San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich in 2016, and actors from the teen drama “Riverdale” donned Halloween costumes based on the movie last year.

Original fans of the picture are now old enough to have kids of their own, and it’s the kind of movie most parents wouldn’t blush at showing their kids, Coon said.

“We always made the film that made us laugh, it wasn’t like we were setting out to make this movie for the masses,” he said. “Hopefully as new fans are born and can find the film, it can grow from there.”

If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy.
