By Jonathan Lemire The Associated Press LONDON — Making nice at the end, President Donald Trump eased up Tuesday on his frequent criticisms of outgoing British Prime Minister Theresa May over her handling of the tortured Brexit deal, declaring that history will remember her fondly if the United Kingdom can successfully leave the European Union.

The latest chapter in the allies’ storied “special relationship” played out as anti-Trump protesters — with the infamous Trump baby balloon bobbing overhead — thronged the streets of nearby central London.

The president’s unexpected compliments for May come just days before she was set to resign the leadership of her party af-

Vidant Health, General Assembly battle over Hemp industry appointments, funding is focus of farm bill

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal

Elizabethtown Marine Corps troops gearing up for an overseas deployment are seeing some variety as they train on terrain around North Carolina.

Marines are training their urban assault, movement and other techniques Tuesday on Bladen County property in Elizabethtown. It’s part of two weeks of work that about 1,500 members of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit based at Camp Lejeune are putting in before shipping out.

The Marines say people in Ashe, Avery, Bladen and Duplin counties could expect to see military aircraft overhead, military vehicles on the roads and role-playing troops dressed in Middle Eastern dress.

Some overnight activities could include Marines on the ground at isolated areas and sounds of blank gunfire.

Trump celebrates US-UK ties in state visit

RALEIGH — The North Carolina Senate voted 30-16 to cut $35 million in funding to Vidant Medical Center (VMC) on the same day a lawsuit was filed by the UNC System accusing Vidant and Pitt County of a breach of contract.

The VMC cuts would go into effect July 1 and would be on top of an estimated $38 million cut related to state health plan changes that involve a new pricing model using Medicare rates to reimburse providers for their services set to take effect next year.

Vidant currently has more than 12,500 employees and operates eight hospitals that serve 29 counties. One of the hospitals Vidant has operated for decades is a teaching hospital associated with the East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine.

Gov. Roy Cooper tweeted that “The ECU medical school and rural health care are too important to get caught up in political vendettas.”

But Sen. Ralph Hise (R-Mitchell) is focused less on politics and more on the potential breach of contract.

“Vidant had a contractual relationship with ECU in which Vidant received the taxpayer-funded benefits of being classified as a teaching hospital and

Senate seeks to balance industry needs, law enforcement concerns

the UNC System received nine appointments to Vidant’s Board of Trustees,” said Hise in a press release. “Vidant ended that contract. Now, Vidant is upset that it is not still receiving the taxpayer-funded benefits afforded from the contract that Vidant ended.

“Without the affiliation agreement in place, Vidant is just like any other hospital,” added Hise.

“The Senate budget therefore treats Vidant the same way as other private hospitals, as is only fair.

Otherwise, Vidant would be receiving public benefits that other hospitals do not receive even though Vidant now has the same relationship with the public university system as other private hospitals have.”

Since 1975, the UNC System and Vidant have had a contractual agreement which gives the UNC Board of Governors the power to appoint members to the hospital’s board of trustees. In exchange for board members appointments, UNC agreed not to build another teaching hospital in the area.

The updated 2013 agreement between UNC and Vidant stipulates a 20-member board of trustees, 11 of which are appointed by Pitt County commissioners, nine by the UNC Board of Governors and one board member appointee must be a physician. The agree-

RALEIGH — Members of North Carolina’s hemp industry believe hemp could be the next cash crop for the state, but concerns from law enforcement are bringing a major part of the industry, smokable products, under scrutiny.

Sen. Brent Jackson (R-Sampson), who co-chairs the Senate Agriculture Committee, sees hemp as important enough to the state’s farmers to make it the focus of the 2019 Farm Act. But he told North State Journal it was a difficult task to strike the right balance between the hemp industry and the state’s law enforcement, who are concerned there isn’t a good way to differentiate between “smokable hemp,” which is legal, and marijuana, which is not.

Cannabis with 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive element known as THC, or lower is considered industrial hemp and is legal to grow and distribute in North Carolina. Marijuana, another variety of the cannabis plant, appears virtually identical but has

agreement in which neither side admitted wrongdoing. But Nautilus later sued after the state posted a handful of Nautilus videos on a state YouTube channel

and used a photo in a newsletter.

In 2015, state lawmakers passed a law that made shipwreck videos and photographs in the state’s custody public records. In its law-

suit, Nautilus argued the law should be declared unconstitutional.

A trial court initially allowed Nautilus’ lawsuit to go forward.

The judge pointed to the federal Copyright Remedy Clarification Act, a 1990 law that allows private parties to sue states for violations of federal copyright law.

North Carolina appealed, arguing that the federal law was unconstitutional and it was immune from being sued. An appeals court agreed, and now the Supreme Court will decide whether the lawsuit can proceed.

Nautilus’ owner, Rick Allen, said in a statement Monday that he was gratified the court had agreed to hear his case. North Carolina Department of Justice spokeswoman Laura Brewer said in an email that the office looks forward to continuing to defend the state in the case.

The Queen Anne’s Revenge was originally a French ship when Blackbeard, the Englishman Edward Teach, captured the vessel in the fall of 1717. He armed the ship with 40 cannons and made it his flagship.

The following year, Blackbeard was sailing north from Charleston, South Carolina, when the ship went aground in what’s now called Beaufort Inlet. Blackbeard abandoned the ship. Five months later, members of the Royal Navy of Virginia killed Blackbeard at Ocracoke Inlet.

medical school. The cost would be more than $500 million, according to the complaint.

On May 24, Superior Court Judge Allen Baddour granted UNC a 10-day temporary restraining order against Vidant Health.

Five days later, Vidant and UNC agreed to enter into mediation and the case venue has been moved from Orange County to Pitt County.

In advance of the Senate Health committee meeting on June 5, Vidant Health issued a press release June 3 with details of a possible settlement proposal.

“Vidant Medical Center continues to be committed and open to

discussions about changes to its board structure,” the press release said. “This includes conversations with elected representatives and conversations with the University of North Carolina Board of Governors, East Carolina University and Pitt County.”

Under the proposal, the members of the VMC board would complete their current terms. Pitt County continues to appoint 11 members and one appointment would be a Pitt County physician.

Vidant would have two seats and the four remaining seats would go to the UNC Board of Governors.

The Dean of the Brody School of Medicine is the final board mem-

ber.

According to Vidant’s statement, items for continued debate include equal pay for ECU and UNC faculty for teaching at their schools, further discussion on giving ECU naming rights to Vidant Medical Center, and a change of control protection for UNC BOG. Included in the proposal is a request for the General Assembly to include $28 million in its final budget to begin planning for a new medical school building. The House has that funding item in its budget already, but the Senate does not. It is likely both chambers will have to meet to finalize the details before passing a final budget.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A dispute involving the pirate Blackbeard’s sunken ship is on deck for the Supreme Court’s next term.

The justices said Monday they will hear arguments in the fall in a copyright case involving the Queen Anne’s Revenge, which was discovered off North Carolina’s coast in 1996. The case pits the state of North Carolina against a company that has documented the ship’s recovery.

The ship is the property of the state, but under an agreement, North Carolina-based Nautilus Productions has for nearly two decades documented the ship’s salvage. In the process, the company and copyrighted photos and videos of the ship.

In 2013, the state and Nautilus resolved one copyright dispute over photos the state posted on the website of the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, which oversees the ship’s recovery and preservation.

The sides reached a settlement

VIDANT from page A1 ment is for a 20-year term.

The breach of contract complaint stems from a vote by Pitt County Commissioners on April 2 that removed the nine board seats of the UNC Board of Governors and gave them to Vidant.

Following the Pitt County vote, the UNC system filed a complaint May 20 in North Carolina Superior Court of Orange County that states Vidant had no authority to change the appointment structure.

UNC’s complaint suggests the only remedy for losing their appointment seats is for a separate teaching hospital to be built for the

PHOTO COURTESY BOB CRUMLEY

A hemp growing operation is pictured in this file photo.

HEMP from page A1 anywhere from 5% to 40% THC. “The SBI says there is no field test,” Jackson said. “You can send it to the laboratory to test it, but there is nothing out there to date to purchase anywhere to do an instant test. So, that’s their concern.”

Founder’s Hemp’s Bob Crumley, chairman and founder of the North Carolina Industrial Hemp Association, which claims many hundreds of members in the state, says there are quick tests available.

“There are two roadside kits available in the United States that I’m aware of for law enforcement to use to differentiate between hemp and marijuana,” Crumley told NSJ. “That means law enforcement can tell the difference if they want to get educated.”

Crumley said Guilford County was able to put one of these kits to the test. They ran an experiment with known marijuana and known industrial hemp, and the tests were able to identify which was which 100% of the time, according to Crumley. He said the SBI did not take this test into account in their communications to the legislature on their request in the 2019 Farm Act “wish list” of what they wanted included in the 2019 Farm Act. “The SBI has had multiple years to deal with these issues and has just failed to do it,” Crumley said. “I’ve been teaching

law enforcement all across the state, from literally Rocky Mount to Forsyth County. I’ve trained sheriff’s departments, police departments. I’ve offered to train the SBI, but they haven’t taken us up on that. So, for the SBI to come in at this late date and start raising issues is concerning to us.”

During public comment as the bill was being debated in the Senate Agriculture Committee, Rhian Merwald, legislative affairs manager for the SBI, made clear that the agency is not ready to make determinations in the field on what is “smokable hemp” and what is marijuana.

“The SBI completely understands the impact of the hemp industry on our state; however, it is imperative that law enforcement across North Carolina have the mechanisms in place to effectively do their jobs and enforce current state laws,” Merwald said.

“We have concerns with this amendment passed today moving the effective date to a year out because, in our interpretation, that would legalize marijuana until 2020 from an enforcement standpoint.”

Jackson said it’s not his intention to legalize marijuana with this bill, and he doesn’t “intend to do it unintentionally.”

“The SBI came to us and said this is a problem they’re having,” Jackson said. “We’re trying to work with them, but at the same time, we don’t want to kill a viable industry.”

Jackson added he has been “bombarded with emails” since they released the bill from constituents saying that CBD oils have helped them with everything from pain to epilepsy to anxiety.

“If we get this in place, we’re going to be one of the only ones in the nation that has their act together on hemp,” Jackson said.

Crumley said hemp has a lot of promise in N.C. because it was the state’s original cash crop before tobacco, and the farms can return to that use. With 2018 showing hemp to be a more than $100 million industry, he predicts it will soon rival tobacco and believes they can prove over the next year and a half — before the bill’s December 2020 deadline — that there are good ways for law enforcement to differentiate between hemp and marijuana.

Merwald said the SBI was not going to take a position on the bill yet, but they would be involved in the discussions as more amendments and tweaks were made toward the final bill.

“I see this being tweaked for the next several years until we get this right,” Jackson concluded, citing shifting federal regulations as one potential complication.

Senate Bill 315, the North Carolina Farm Act of 2019, has multiple committees to pass through before it reaches the floor for a vote but has support and sponsorships from members of both

ter failing to secure a Brexit deal.

She will depart as prime minister once her successor has been chosen.

“I have greatly enjoyed working with you. You are a tremendous professional and a person who loves her country very much,” Trump told May at a news conference near the prime minister’s Downing Street office. But he couldn’t resist a slight dig, evoking the two years of broadsides he had lobbed at her by recalling that he had urged her to sue the EU rather than try to negotiate a departure.

Trump said he would have “sued and settled, maybe, but you never know. She’s probably a better negotiator than I am.” And he added that the deal May came away with was a good one and “perhaps you won’t be given the credit you deserve.”

May voiced hope her successor will be able to achieve Brexit.

“I still believe — I personally believe — that it is in the best interest of the U.K. to leave the European Union with a deal. I believe there is a good deal on the table,” she said. “Obviously, it will be whoever succeeds me as prime minister to take this issue forward. What is paramount, I believe, is delivering on Brexit for the British people.”

Earlier in the day, Trump jokingly suggested that May “stick around” until a new U.S.-U.K. trade deal was brokered. May and her aides chuckled at that.

Trump said Britain and the U.S. would be able to strike a “phenomenal trade deal” once the U.K. had left the EU — music to the ears of pro-Brexit Britons.

But, in words sure to alarm those in Britain concerned about Brexit, he said that “everything”— including the National Health Service — would be “on the table” in future trade negotiations.

Most Britons are protective of the state-run NHS, which delivers free health care to all, and many worry that private U.S. health care firms could try to gain access to chunks of it as a condition of a trade deal.

On a separate issue, Trump said he anticipated “no limitations” on the future sharing of intelligence with the U.K. as the U.S. continues to press its longtime ally to ban Chinese company Huawei amid espionage and trade concerns.

He renewed his praise of Conservative lawmaker Boris John-

son, who is campaigning to replace May as Conservative leader, and of another contender, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt. He said he’d turned down a requested meeting from Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, and took new swipes at one of his most vocal critics, London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Afterward, Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage and Trump met at the U.S. ambassador’s residence, with Farage tweeting that they’d had a “good meeting.”

As the pageantry of Trump’s British state visit gave way to politics, an economic meeting between the leaders at St. James’s Palace brought together 10 leading companies — five from the U.K. and five from the United States. CEOs and senior representatives from BAE Systems, GlaxoSmithKline, National Grid, Barclays, Reckitt Benckiser, JP Morgan, Lockheed Martin, Goldman Sachs International, Bechtel and Splunk were listed as attending.

Trump and first lady Melania Trump later toured the Churchill War Rooms, the British government’s underground command center during World War II. Then it was time for a fancy reciprocal dinner that the Trumps hosted at the U.S. ambassador’s residence for Prince Charles, his wife, Camilla, and other dignitaries.

A day earlier, Trump had lunch with Queen Elizabeth II and tea with Prince Charles before a grand state dinner at Buckingham Palace.

Also on Monday, May and her husband, Philip, presented Trump with a framed, typescript draft of the Atlantic Charter, the declaration signed by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in August 1941 setting out common goals for the world, including freer trade, disarmament and the right to self-determination of all people.

The declaration helped lay the groundwork for the United Nations and the World Trade Organization.

The gift is a copy of Churchill’s personal draft of the document, with his handwritten revisions in red pencil.

Following Tuesday’s focus on business and trade, Trump will use the next two days to mark the 75th anniversary of the June 6, 1944, D-Day landing, likely the last significant commemoration most veterans of the battle will see.

Year-round sales of gasoline mixed with 15% ethanol OK’d

By Margery A. Beck The Associated Press

Mexican avocado growers expect US consumers to bear tariffs

By Arturo Perez The Associated Press URUAPAN, Mexico — The baby avocados in Enrique Bautista’s vast orchard in western Mexico will grow to maturity, eventually, and be shipped out of Mexico.

What remains to be seen is how many of those green gems will reach consumers in the United States if President Donald Trump makes good on his promise to slap duties on Mexican exports should the country fail to stem the tide of immigrants trying to reach the U.S. The potential Trump tariffs would hit U.S. avocado lovers more than Mexican producers, Bautista said. Demand north of the border for Mexican avocados has proven very static: even when prices expand four-fold during the year, the fruit is still scooped up by U.S. devotees of avocado toast and guacamole.

Producers in Mexico believe a 5% — or even 25% — U.S. tariff on avocados will do little to dampen their sales.

“I think the bigger risk is for U.S. consumers” having to pay higher prices, said Bautista, 69, a second-generation avocado grower whose father was an early exporter of the fruit that has become a staple in the diets of millions of Americans.

The popularity of avocados has won the spreadable fruit the nickname “green gold” in Mexico, the world’s top producer.

The U.S. is the top export market for Mexican avocados, according to USDA data, consuming more than

74% of total exports. Japan absorbs at least 6% and Canada another 7% of the Mexican crop.

“Fortunately, the avocado is a fruit that’s in demand more every day around the world, that’s consumed in many other countries,” said Bautista, who gave The Associated Press a tour of his orchard in Uruapan in Michoacan state on Saturday. His avocados are shipped entirely to the U.S. Mexican orchards yield 11 avocados for every one picked in California. Mexico also produces yearround, versus California’s usual eight-month season.

Production in California typically covers U.S. demand for avocados this time of year. But the 2019 crop in California was weak, with some growers reporting total failures due to record high temperatures last summer that destroyed much of the young fruit before maturity.

The California avocado season also started late, so Mexican producers have shipped much of their produce north since April in what is considered low season for Mexican avocados.

“We are living in a sellers’ market,” said Humberto Solorzano, a third-generation avocado producer also in Michoacan, where 80% of Mexican avocados are grown.

A weakening peso will shield U.S. consumers from higher avocado prices in the near-term, Solorzano figured, but eventually the cost of any tariffs would be absorbed throughout the supply chain, landing mostly on U.S. consumers. The peso plunged more than 3% against the dollar on Friday in the wake of

Trump’s tweet promising tariffs on all Mexican goods.

On Friday, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador dispatched his foreign secretary to Washington to try to negotiate a truce and point out what Mexico has done to stem the flow of migrants. It has stepped up raids on migrant caravans traveling through the southern states of Chiapas and Oaxaca this year. It has deported thousands of migrants and frustrated thousands more who wait endlessly for permits that would allow them to travel legally through Mexico.

Trump’s tariff threat has also received pushback from U.S. businesses that rely on Mexican production.

Solorzano said exporters are looking for assurance despite the avocado’s privileged status as a “super-food.”

Frustrated by wild swings in Mexican avocado prices, Solorzano launched a mobile application in September that allows producers to share price information. AvoPrice already has 700 users, between packers and producers.

Producers here say the latest Trump missive has rattled the avocado market less than the president’s April threat to close the U.S.-Mexico border entirely — also because of record numbers of migrants, especially from Central America.

Then, Solorzano recalls, U.S. importers tried to stockpile avocados.

The U.S. consumer needs Mexican avocados, he said: “They don’t have another supply option.”

Sweet potatoes are a versatile and nutritious food for people of all ages. With naturally occurring sugars, nature’s candy will satisfy and nourish even the pickiest eaters. Despite their candy-like flavor, sweet potatoes possess a bevy of nutrients that give you a healthy boost any time of the year.

North Carolina is the No. 1 sweet potato producing state in the United States. N.C. farmers harvest nearly 60 percent of the sweet potatoes grown in the United States.

The sweet potato is the North Carolina state vegetable and several varieties of sweet potatoes are grown, ranging from white and mild to deep red and super

EDITORIAL | FRANK HILL

The upside of inequality

Since the mid-1970s, not one single company has been created in France that has grown to be worth more than $1 billion.

MANY PEOPLE Hear the term “income inequality” and think: “We gotta do something to fix that!”

Which almost always means pass more legislation and give more power to government officials.

Ed Conard, former managing partner of Bain Capital, thinks differently. He sees rising income inequality as a good sign for an economy, not as a negative.

As he writes in his eminently readable book, “The Upside of Inequality”: “Rising income inequality is the by-product of an economy that has deployed its talent and wealth more effectively than that of other economies — and not from the rich stealing from the middle and working classes.”

How can an increasing amount of wealth in the hands of relatively few people at the top of the wealth ladder be “good” for America when the press and the left keep telling us that the middle-class is disappearing and the poor and near-poor are starving to death?

Since time immemorial, poor and working-class people have viewed rich people with a mixture of envy, distrust and distance. For good reason. Prior to World War I, working people the world over were essentially serfs to the king of the country or the powerful oligarchs who ruled commerce and government with an iron fist to protect their wealth, interests and superior way of life.

Robber-barons of the late 19th century used unscrupulous methods and bribery to gain their wealth at the expense of competitors, and they kept many workers as close to poverty as possible to maximize their personal profits.

As a result of that experience 100 years ago, the left sees capitalism as a zero-sum game; the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. Vote for them and they will fix it, they say. With more government, more laws and more distortions to market forces.

Conard takes a penetrating look at the root causes of income inequality at its core in economic terms, not emotional or political terms. He cites study after study that confirmed what most people know intuitively: “high-wage economies that diminish incentives to produce innovation by taxing success more heavily, increasing

government spending and distributing incomes more equally have grown more slowly with lower median incomes.”

The reason for stagnant low wages for unskilled and uneducated people in America can be attributed, he says, primarily to three factors: a near unlimited supply of low-skilled, low-wage workers domestically and abroad; lack of proper education to meet the needs of 21st century businesses; and anything that diminishes the appetite to take on higher levels of risk by investors and entrepreneurs.

Conard’s book is a compendium of useful facts and figures anyone interested in this issue should have handy. To prove his point about American free enterprise being the best vehicle for job growth, he cites many facts including: Since 1980, five times as many companies have been created in the U.S. that became worth more than $1 billion than in all of Europe combined.

Since the mid-1970s, not one single company has been created in France that has grown to be worth more than $1 billion.

Since 1980, the U.S. economy has produced enough jobs to increase employment by 50%, twice the growth rate of Germany and France and three times the rate of Japan.

Employment has surged from 99 million people working in 1980 to 156 million today in America.

Median after-tax incomes for Americans are 15-30% higher than for Europeans and Japan We should be overjoyed and thankful to have had the good fortune to have lived during such a time. Instead, we have a political left and a compliant press painting a dystopian present and future for all Americans almost exclusively for political purposes.

The 2020 elections will offer us a country a clear choice between capitalism and socialism. Why choose socialism when capitalism offers much higher prosperity and standards of living for everyone?

GUEST OPINION | STACEY MATTHEWS

We spend too much time being outraged, and not enough time living

Sometimes a photo is just a photo, not something intended to offend.

Sometimes a comment is just a comment and is not meant to upset anyone.

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL PHOTO. Actress Selma Blair and filmmaker Rachel Fleit were standing next to each other. They each wore pale-colored head wraps, and on the front of each wrap were sparkly pieces of jewelry to add some flair.

“We have one answer to your bad hair days or NO hair days,” Blair captioned the pretty Instagram photo. “Wraps!”

Not long after, the comment section began to light up with accusations of cultural appropriation. “White people have scorned Sikhs for hundreds of years, and now we wanna appropriate and make it trendy?” complained one person. “No. Just no. We don’t get to do this.”

“This is serious cultural appropriation,” said another. “I’d be happy to have a private conversation about how this is hurtful to Sikhs if you’re open to it.”

Blair responded to those who took issue with the picture. “Covering one’s head is not appropriating anything but warmth and a wig alternative.” To another critic she wrote, “Scarves have been worn by all colors for ages. Relax.”

As it turns out, both Blair and Fleit have reasons for wanting to cover their heads. Fleit has a condition called alopecia, which causes hair loss.

Blair was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last year and has also been dealing with hair loss.

Wearing the head wraps was not “cultural appropriation” for these women. They were just trying to deal with hair loss in dignified, stylish and uplifting ways.

But instead of just being able to appreciate the picture on its own, a small gang of concern trolls invaded the comments section. That Blair took time out of battling MS to calmly counter them speaks volumes about her class and grace in the face of such tiresome and absurd criticisms.

Unfortunately, outrage mobs are not confined to the Internet and social media.

At a mid-May commencement ceremony at UNC Wilmington,

UNC Board of Governors member Tom Fetzer delivered some opening remarks to the graduates, family and faculty members who were in attendance.

Fetzer, it was reported, went off script. His sin wasn’t necessarily in doing that, however. Instead, it was in some of the things he said to attendees, according to video of the event: “Let me just cut to the chase young ladies, there are only two things in this world you should borrow money for. Your continuing education and a house,” Fetzer said. “Pay cash for everything else because it’s a depreciating asset and you will end up owing more than it is worth.

And that is the road to ruin. Those are the parents clapping. Young men, I will add one thing to the list for which you may borrow money. A diamond ring. Because it will appreciate, and so will she.”

According to local news reports, some students and faculty members were outraged. One professor opined in an email that Fetzer’s comments were “right out of 1865. Whatever its vintage, it was completely inappropriate.” Another professor went on an extended rant, finishing by suggesting that “to say it was insulting to women who have just received their degree is an understatement.”

Seriously? Women have heard these types of comments for ages.

Most of us chuckle at hearing them and consider them in the congenial spirit they are typically intended.

In this day and age where jumping to conclusions is fashionable and outrage mobs are all the rage, consider this: Sometimes a photo is just a photo, not something intended to offend. Sometimes a comment is just a comment and is not meant to upset anyone.

Life is too short. People should live their lives to the fullest and save their ire for the things that truly deserve it instead of reading too much into and seeing only the negative in every situation.

Forty appeals court judges had been nominated by President Donald Trump and confirmed by the U.S. Senate as of May 15, 2019. That total is higher than for any other president at this point in his tenure.

Richard Nixon had successfully appointed 25 appeals court judges by this point in his first term. George W. Bush

had appointed 23. Trump’s immediate predecessor, Barack Obama, had appointed 18.

The decomposition of the university We will examine how characters serve as figures of otherness, transcendence, physicality or abjection.

THE SUBWAY RIDE from Midtown Manhattan to Greenwich Village provides the perfect setting for observing a polyglot culture, but during last week’s trek I passed the time eavesdropping on a pair of coeds who were saddled with NYU backpacks.

I perked up when I heard one say, “Her and I’ve drank at Bar None, but the guy scene at Juke Bar is, like, waay better.”

Ten minutes later I’d had a cram course in Gen Z lingo and wondered if those specimens will be able to speak or write standard English when they enter the workforce.

Business writer Josh Bernoff says no because his 2016 survey of 547 business chiefs found 81% reporting that bad writing by new employees “wastes a lot of time” because it’s “poorly organized, unclear, and filled with jargon.”

When the Harvard Business Review published Bernoff’s findings, I hoped that tuition-paying parents would ask why many college graduates don’t write well — and why The Wall Street Journal reported that “Grammar Gaffes Invade the Office” as well.

I could answer those questions simply by noting that in some camps within the university achieving “equality” and “justice” takes precedence over holding students to strict standards of written English.

But here I shall craft a script that includes quotations from the works of certain scholars who presided over what Allan Bloom once called “The Decomposition of the University.” For about three decades they called themselves “postmodernists.”

Now they’re just “woke.”

My co-stars are a tuition-paying dad and a daughter who recently completed her freshman year at the university. Let’s say that Dad has read Bernoff’s report and wants to make sure the big checks are buying first-rate instruction for his daughter. So Dad opens the dialogue by asking her about freshman composition.

“I know you took freshman comp, but I don’t see English 101 listed on your transcript.”

“Sure, I took it, but now it’s called Writing Social Justice! I loved that class because our teacher — we called him Kevin — thinks that ‘grades are antithetical to learning’ and judged us instead on our ‘volume of production’ and on our ‘selfassessment and reflection.’ Kevin stayed in the ‘background’ and let us create our own ‘playground’ of ‘belongingness.’”

“For crying out loud! Does Kevin think that your future boss will let you navel-gaze on company time? And with Kevin in the ‘background,’ who corrected your grammar gaffes?”

“Dad, grammar is soooo not a big deal anymore!

Kevin told us that even the National Council of Teachers of English says that ‘the use of grammar and usage exercises … is a deterrent to the improvement of students’ speaking and writing,’ and Kevin said that ‘Correctness is simply not a

value any working writer would even recognize as important.’”

“Tell that to my business partner who just turned down a job applicant because he said ‘between you and I’ twice in one interview! I hope your lit survey professor exposed you to great models of written English and held your feet to the fire when you wrote essays for that class.”

“Yeah, we read all those ancient creeps, but I sure didn’t use them as models because Dr. Brandish said that the so-called classics are really ‘a tool of oppression and exclusion’ because of their ‘complicity in white Supremacy.’”

“Wait a minute…I thought you’d signed up for ‘Survey of British Literature’ — not Book Bashing 101. So what you just described sounds like a bait and switch.”

“Relax, Dad! If I read you the course description in my syllabus, you’ll see that Dr. B’s super smart: ‘In this class we will examine how characters serve as figures of otherness, transcendence, physicality or abjection. Examination questions will concern regulative discourse, performativity and frameworks of intelligibility.’”

“Holy smoke and mirrors! Dr. Brandish may teach English, but she certainly doesn’t write it.

Please say she didn’t expect you to write like that.”

“Dad, you’ve got to understand that ending Western ‘hegemony’ and ‘savage capitalism’ has to come first. Besides, Dr. B said that ‘standard English continues to be a tool of oppression because it is still privileged over other ways of speaking and writing.’”

“Can’t Dr. B see that she’s betraying the very students she means to support? Doesn’t she know that graduates who don’t speak and write standard English will be at a disadvantage when they apply for jobs?”

“I know some of this stuff is way over the top, but if I hadn’t acted like I bought it, I wouldn’t have made A’s in comp and Brit Lit! “ “What would Dr. Brandish say if I stormed her office and told her I didn’t know I’d become the unwitting patron of an ideologue?”

“Back off, Dad, or you’ll get me in total hot water!

Thank goodness Dr. B is away at a conference called ‘The Whitesplaining of History is Over.’”

So Dad backs off, fearing that literacy among college graduates is over as well.

Shareholders in any other business would catch on quickly if bizarre innovations had weakened operations. Not so in higher education, where the poor value shows up long after investors’ checks have been cashed.

With patrons made wary of the penalty for dissent, a bankrupt business has continued to thrive.

Professors Debra Mashek and Jonathan Haidt authored “10 Colleges Where You Won’t Have to Walk on Eggshells.”

Mashek and Haidt are, respectively, faculty members of Harvey Mudd College and New York University. Haidt is the cofounder of the Heterodox Academy and Mashek is its executive director. Heterodox Academy is nonpartisan and boasts a membership of more than 2,500 faculty and college administrators who advocate for open inquiry and civil disagreement on college campuses and in academic disciplines.

The Mashek and Haidt article discusses 10 colleges in alphabetical order. Among them is Chapman University, whose president, Daniele Struppa, is “an outspoken advocate of academic freedom and freedom of speech.” Struppa has little tolerance for the political correctness so prevalent at most of the nation’s colleges.

The University of Chicago has set the gold standard on free speech and open inquiry. In 2014, it created its “Statement on Principles of Free Expression” (aka the Chicago Principles). Those principles provide the framework for thinking about the importance of dissent as well as the role of the university for establishing the platform for debate.

University of Chicago president Robert Zimmer says, “We have an obligation to see that the greatest variety of perspectives is brought to bear on issues before us as scholars and citizens.” The Chicago Principles, or substantially similar ones, have been adopted by 55 schools across the nation. In June 2018, the University of Chicago received Heterodox Academy’s Institutional Excellence Award in recognition of its stellar culture and support for open inquiry.

Other colleges listed in the Mashek and Haidt article, where students won’t have to walk on eggshells include Arizona State University, Claremont McKenna College, Kansas State University, Kenyon College, Linn-Benton Community College, St. John’s College, University of Richmond and Purdue University. It’s worth noting that Mitch Daniels is president of Purdue University and former two-term governor of the state of Indiana. Daniels and his interim provost Jay Akridge wrote this message to the Purdue community: “At Purdue, we protect and promote the right to free and open inquiry in all matters and guarantee all members of the University community the broadest possible latitude to speak, write, listen challenge and learn.”

In my opinion, it is truly a tragic state of affairs when free speech and free inquiry require protection at most institutions of higher learning. Indeed, it has been freedom in the marketplace of ideas that has made the United States, as well as other Western nations, leaders in virtually every area of human endeavor. A monopoly of ideas is just as dangerous as a monopoly in other areas of our lives such as monopoly in political power and the production of goods and services.

At the end of Mashek’s and Haidt’s article, they come up with a few suggestions for parents. Visit the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education website to find out about a particular college’s agenda to suppress free speech.

By all means, check out the Heterodox Academy website. Search the college’s website for terms such as “open inquiry,” “freedom of expression” and “free speech.”

Examine the college’s calendar of events to see whether speakers with diverse opinions are invited. Visit the campus. Talk with actual students about their experiences.

In this article, Mashek and Haidt give specific questions to ask. I’d add to their list of things to do on a campus visit: Talk to the local police, bartenders and hospital people about the college. They might give you insights that an admissions officer would choose to keep hidden.

NATION & WORLD Trump says GOP would be ‘foolish’ to block Mexico tariffs The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that fellow Republicans would be “foolish” to block the tariffs he’s threatening on Mexican imports, but GOP senators fearing a new trade war were considering action and grilling his administration lawyers behind closed doors.

Republicans are deeply concerned that Trump’s proposed 5% tariffs on all imports from Mexico would spike U.S. consumers’ costs , harm the economy and imperil a major pending US-Mexico-Canada trade deal. Mexico is concerned as well, and top officials are in Washington working to stave off the threatened trade taxes.

If Congress should vote against the tariffs it would be a stiff rebuke to Trump, much like its earlier effort to reject money to build a long, impregnable border wall.

But many on Capitol Hill remain hopeful talks this week between U.S. and Mexican officials will ease Trump away from the tariffs he’s said will start next Monday.

“We’re going to see if we can do something,” Trump said during a press conference in London on the second day of his state visit to Britain.

“But I think it’s more likely that the tariffs go on,” he said. He also doubted Republicans in Congress would muster the votes against him. “If they do, it’s foolish.”

Mexico seemed much more optimistic about a resolution.

“By what we have seen so far, we will be able to reach an agreement,” Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said during a news conference at Mexico’s Embassy in Washington. “That is why I think the imposition of tariffs can be avoided.”

Ebrard arrived in Washington over the weekend as Mexico launched a diplomatic counteroffensive and fresh negotiations.

On Tuesday, Mexico’s trade negotiator Jesus Seade was meeting with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, and Ebrard will meet Wednesday with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Republican senators are hopeful those talks will prevent the tariffs. But if negotiations should fail, the lawmakers warn they may have no choice but to take action in Congress to stop Trump.

GOP Sen. Rob Portman said Tuesday on CNBC that if the tariffs do go into effect next Monday as planned, “I do think Congress is likely to have a vote.”

Portman was among those on Capitol Hill who worry the tariffs will derail the long-promised United-States-Mexico-Canada trade deal— a rewrite of the North American Free Trade Agreement that Trump campaigned against. The senator warned that Trump was “endangering” passage of his favored USMCA. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the chair-

Mexican Foreign Affairs Secretary Marcelo Ebrard, right, speaks at a news conference at the Mexican Embassy in Washington, Tuesday, June 4, 2019, as part of a Mexican delegation in Washington for talks following trade tariff threats from the Trump Administration. man of the Finance Committee, told reporters Tuesday the tariffs make passage of USMCA “more difficult.”

Questions remain, though, and senators invited Pat Philbin from the White House counsel’s office and Steve Engel from the Department of Justice to their weekly lunch Tuesday to hear more about the administration’s legal rationale for the tariffs.

Trump has indicated he will rely on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to slap the tariffs on Mexican goods, a national emergency executive action he can take without congressional approval.

But lawmakers say if the president invokes a national emergency, they can vote on a resolution to disapprove. That’s what happened earlier this year when lawmakers, stunned by Trump’s claim of executive power, tried to block him from taking funds for the border wall with Mexico.

Congress voted to disapprove of Trump’s actions, but the president vetoed the resolution.

Yet it’s unclear if Trump will, in fact, use the national emergency declaration or if opponents of the tariffs might resort to other legislative tools to block him.

“There’s some disagreement even among Republicans,” Grassley said. “We’d better get a legal answer.”

While many Republicans who voted against Trump earlier this year actually supported his ultimate goal of building the border wall — but were uneasy with his executive reach to do it — the president doesn’t have anywhere near the same backing for the tariffs.

In this case, Trump is using the tariffs as leverage against Mexico in his long-running battle to reduce illegal immigration.

Democrats -- and some Republicans -- doubt the tariffs will ever take effect.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said Tuesday that “Trump has a habit of talking tough and then retreating.”

Trump claimed “millions of people” are entering the U.S. through Mexico and criticized congressional Democrats for not passing new laws. He said, “Mexico should not allow millions of people to try and enter our country.”

It is unclear what more Mexico can do — and what would be enough — to satisfy Trump because the United States has not presented concrete benchmarks to assess whether the U.S. ally is sufficiently stemming the migrant flow from Central America.

Mexico calls the potential tariffs hurtful to the economies of both countries and useless to slow the northbound flow of Central American migrants.

“We need to put our heads together and try to come up with a solution,” Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn said Monday.

The tariff threat comes just as the administration has been pushing for passage of the USMCA trade accord. Mexico and Canada already have started the process of ratifying through their own legislatures.

On Monday, U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross met with Mexican Economy Minister Graciela Marquez, and U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue hosted his Mexican counterpart, Victor Villalobos.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson has signed legislation preventing local officials from enacting more stringent regulations than the state on large farms that raise hogs, poultry and cattle.

The Republican governor described the bill enacted Friday as “a big win for Missouri farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses.” Parson raises cattle.

Opponents have criticized the measure for taking away local control and have said it could hurt the quality of life for neighbors worried about air and water pollution from concentrated animal feeding operations.

University of Missouri Extension says at least 20 counties already have imposed regulations and fees on animal feeding operations through local health ordinances, and nine counties and townships have enacted zoning regulations.

Parson plans a ceremonial bill signing June 8 in Sedalia at the Missouri Cattlemen’s annual steak fry.

Gretta Goodwin, Director of Homeland Security and Justice for the Government Accountability Office, listens during a House Oversight and Reform committee hearing on facial recognition technology in government, Tuesday June 4, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Watchdog says FBI has access to about 640M photographs The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — A government watchdog says the FBI has access to about 640 million photographs — including from driver’s licenses, passports and mugshots — that can be searched using facial recognition technology.

The figure reflects how the technology is becoming an increasingly powerful law enforcement tool, but is also stirring fears about the potential for authorities to intrude on the lives of Americans. It was reported by the Government Accountability Office at a congressional hearing in which both Democrats and Republicans raised questions about the use of the technology.

The FBI maintains a database known as the Interstate Photo System of mugshots that can help federal, state and local law enforcement officials. It contains about 36 million photographs, according to Gretta Goodwin of the GAO. But taking into account the bureau contracts providing access to driver’s licenses in 21 states, and its use of photos and other databases, the FBI has access to about 640 million photographs, Goodwin told lawmakers at the House oversight committee hearing.

Kimberly Del Greco, a deputy assistant director at the FBI, said the bureau has strict policies for using facial recognition. She said it is used only when there is an active FBI investigation or an assessment, which can precede a formal investigation.

When using the state databases, the FBI submits a so-called “probe photo” and then states conduct a search to yield a list of potential candidates to be reviewed by trained federal agents.

“Facial recognition is a tool that, if used properly, can greatly enhance law enforcement capabilities and protect public safety,” she said.

Dozens of civil liberties advocates asked lawmakers this week to implement a temporary, federal moratorium on the facial recognition technology.

“Lawmakers must put the brakes on law enforcement use of this technology until Congress decides what, if any, use cases are permissible,” said Neema Singh Guliani, senior legislative counsel with the American Civil Liberties Union.

Duke’s Tre Jones and Javin DeLaurier both opted against going pro and decided to come back for another year in Durham.

ed to recovering from several procedures.

“He’s had a couple surgeries since then,” Krzyzewski said. “The same procedure that was done on his left hip before he got here was done on his right hip. He was able to play real well, but it’s a corrective thing, and he did that about a month ago now. And last Friday he had hernia surgery. He’s good and he’ll be here during the camp and doing his rehab.”

Jones is ready to get back on the court.

“I had a couple things done, but I’m feeling (better),” he said. “I’m back working out, getting going now, spending time down at Duke.

I’m living here for the summer.”

While Jones didn’t go through the draft evaluation process, he still has a list of things to improve on. The top item will be to take the reins of the team.

“The main thing for me is for him to be a more vocal leader,” Krzyzewski said. “I think as a freshman, that’s hard, and he was good. He understood what was out there and obviously had a heck of a year. I need him to be more verbal and more vocal in running group and also demanding in how certain things are run.”

Jones is willing to accept the leadership role.

“It comes a little natural to me, but as with everything, you have got to work on it,” he said. “Coming here, being with Coach for a year now, I’ve learned things on how to be a better leader, like the leader he is. With the things he’s been able to

THE ROAD TO THE College World Series in Omaha, Neb., runs directly through North Carolina this year, although it took a slight detour to get back on track for one of the three state teams advancing to the Super Regional round.

While North Carolina and Duke made it look easy by sweeping their respective regionals, East Carolina had to advance through the loser’s bracket after dropping its opening game to fourth-seeded Quinnipiac.

Inspired by a raucous home crowd at Clark-LeClair Stadium, the Pirates defied the odds by eliminating fading NC State, then beating Quinnipiac in a Sunday rematch before advancing with a pair of impressive victories against Campbell on Monday.

By winning its region, ECU (47-16) advances into a best-of-three Super Regional series at ACC regular season champion Louisville starting on Friday.

“I think it’s 7.5 percent of teams that win a regional after losing their first game,” Pirates coach Cliff Godwin said.

Catcher Jake Washer was instrumental in leading the comeback with four home runs in the four straight wins over two days to earn regional MVP honors. Left-hander Jake Agnos, two-way workhorse Alec Burleson and a deep pitching staff took care of the rest as ECU won an NCAA regional for the fifth time in school history.

It’s an accomplishment Godwin said his team never could have executed without an assist from its passionate fans.

“Everybody is pitching on fumes,” he said. “The crowd was amazing. I don’t think our guys could have gotten through it these past two days without the crowd.”

UNC and Duke didn’t have to work nearly as hard to advance.

The Tar Heels (45-17) followed a similar pattern to that of their ACC Tournament championship by squeaking out a walk-off win under unusual circumstances in its opening game before getting stronger with each subsequent effort.

Trailing UNC Wilmington by a run going to the bottom of the ninth, UNC tied its opener on a solo homer by ACC Rookie of the Year Aaron Sabato, then won it when the Seahawks threw the ball away on a botched suicide squeeze attempt.

Coach Mike Fox’s team then beat Liberty 16-1 and Tennessee 5-3 to earn a Super Regional date against Auburn at Boshamer Stadium this weekend.

“We have come a long way,” Fox said afterward.

“Everybody goes back to the two State losses (in the final regular season series), but we started 0-4 in the league. We’ve got a good group, and they just keep fighting and believing.”

Duke (34-25) also kept believing when many pretournament projections had it out of the 64‑team NCAA regional field.

Devils relying on returning veterans for next season Tre Jones, Javin DeLaurier turn down temptation of NBA riches

By Shawn Krest North State Journal DURHAM — More than two months after the season ended, Duke now has a good idea of its roster for the 2019-20 season.

As usual, coach Mike Krzyzewski will have a new class of freshmen stars ready to replace the group of one-and-dones that are preparing for this month’s NBA Draft.

One key member of last year’s freshman class bucked the recent trend, however. Point guard Tre Jones opted to stay at Duke for another year, rather than test the draft waters.

“I feel like I was still wanting to accomplish more here,” he told the media at last week’s K Academy, the weeklong fantasy camp and Duke basketball alumni reunion.

“I still had a lot of things to work on and improve on. There are still a lot of steps I can make here at the college level.”

The season-ending loss to Michigan State, which cost Duke a Final Four berth, was a key factor in Jones’ decision.

“I had no intention of leaving,” he said. “My main goal coming in was to win a national championship. Not winning that definitely had an impact on me.”

Krzyzewski called Jones’ return “huge,” even though much of Jones’ last two months have been devot-

MLB Draft’s first day loaded with NC picks NC State’s Will Wilson went 15th overall to the Angels, and six others were taken in the first 66 picks

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal A LARGE HAUL of North Carolina-based talent in the first round of the Major League Baseball Draft was even bigger than projected, as six players with state ties had their names called Monday night.

The group includes NC State shortstop Will Wilson, the 15th overall pick to the Los Angeles Angels, Elon pitcher George Kirby at No. 20 to the Seattle Mariners, UNC Wilmington shortstop Greg Jones to the Tampa Bay Rays at No. 22, Wilmington high school pitcher Blake Walston to the Arizona Diamondbacks at No. 26 and North Carolina first baseman Michael Busch to the Los Angeles Dodgers at No. 31.

Campbell pitcher Seth Jones was also selected at No. 40 by the Rays in the “Competitive Balance” phase sandwiched between the first and second rounds.

Of the six new draftees, Walston is by far the most intriguing pick.

A 6-foot-4 left-hander who helped New Hanover win its second straight 3A state championship last weekend, Walston is signed to play at NC State next season.

The natural assumption as a first-round pick is that he will never play a game in a Wolfpack uniform and that’s likely to happen.

But unlike Green Hope’s Jordyn Adams, who passed up a two-sport career at UNC to sign for $4.1 mil-

NC State’s Will Wilson, who was drafted 15th overall in the MLB Draft on Monday by the Angels, slides into home plate under the tag of Radford’s Will Harless during a game on May 5 in Raleigh. lion as the 17th overall pick last year, it’s still up in the air as to what Walston might do.

As one of the youngest players in this year’s draft, with a low-90 mph fastball that promises to improve as he gains experience and physical maturity, some scouts project him as the possible first overall pick in 2022 if he chooses college over the minors.

“There’s so much more growth and development for him,” Diamondbacks scouting director Deric Ladnier said on a conference call Monday night. “Over the course of the spring, we watched him develop into a power pitcher. Obviously, he’s young, big, strong and has tremendous upside.”

One player that definitely won’t

be returning to the Wolfpack is Wilson.

The ACC’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2019, the junior from Kings Mountain led State in average (.335), doubles (20), homers (16) and slugging percentage (.661) this season while also drawing 33 walks.

Although Angels scouting director Matt Swanson described Wilson as having “high-end upside” during a conference call Monday night, he believes that the Wolfpack star is polished enough to play in the majors sooner rather than later.

“We think extremely high of Will,” Swanson said. “Obviously on the field, I think the performance in a major conference speaks for it-

self. I think sometimes what is lost in the shuffle is the makeup and character, and this is just an awesome, awesome young man who is going to blend right in.

“He has a chance to move quick, but (he’ll) work on his own pace and just get acclimated to being an Angel and see how quickly he can move.”

Busch also has the potential to be a fast mover through the Dodgers’ system, provided the club can decide on where to play him defensively. Dodgers scouting director Billy Gasparino said during a postfirst round conference call he was impressed with the ACC Tournament MVP’s maturity at the plate.

“He’s been a staple in the UNC program,” Gasparino said of Busch,

who is hitting .294 with 16 homers and 57 RBI this season. “They rave about his makeup and his character, and we’re excited to add him to our organization.”

On the flip side of Wilson and Busch is UNCW’s Jones.

A draft-eligible sophomore, his selection in the first round was something of a surprise after being ranked No. 51 in this year’s class by Baseball America. His rapid rise up the board has a lot to do with his speed — he ranks sixth nationally with 40 stolen bases in 50 attempts — along with defense, potentially as a center fielder.

“He’s somebody we think has a really good chance to contribute on both sides defensively and offensively,” Tampa scouting director Rob Meltzer said. “We’re really excited to have him.”

The Rays’ other local first-round pick, Campbell right-hander Jones, is also something of a project after being converted from shortstop just two years ago.

“He has a shorter track record; this is his first year of full-time pitching,” Meltzer said. “But in terms of his arm action, delivery, body type, he really fulfills all the things we’re looking for in a young starting pitching prospect.”

Elon’s Kirby is an even more attractive prospect because of his combination of power — his fastball tops out at 98 mph — and control — he walked only six hitters in 88⅓ innings on the way to becoming his school’s first first-round draftee.

UNC right-hander Tyler Baum was the only player with state connections taken in the second round, going No. 66 overall to the Oakland Athletics.

by Ben Gross, Bryce Jarvis and Bill Chillari with some timely hitting to beat host West Virginia once and Texas A&M twice.

Coach Chris Pollard’s team will take on Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tenn., for a shot at making the first College World Series trip in school history.

“This was the reward for (our guys) for staying in the fight for what has been a trying season at times for us,” Pollard said. “You look at the record and wonder why it was trying, just having to go through the kind of setbacks and

injuries and getting off to a slow start in the ACC. These guys had to stay really tough and resilient and stay together and they did. They kept playing hard for our culture, and because of that, they were in a position to pull off something really great this weekend.”

State, by contrast, found itself at the opposite end of the spectrum.

After getting off to a 19-0 start and being ranked as high as No. 2

in the country, the Wolfpack (4219) lost its momentum and ended up dropping its final four games.

The slump started with an 11-0 loss to Florida State in what was termed a “meaningless game” at the ACC Tournament.

Coach Elliott Avent’s team never recovered, though, and was eliminated with losses to Campbell and ECU in Greenville.

“As hard as it is, you get about a

week to lick your wounds, to rest up a little bit, but then you’ve got to re-energize and figure out how you’ve got to take the summer to get better individually,” Avent said, “so your ball club gets better when you get back in the fall.”

The disappointment was even greater for Campbell (37-21), which came within a win of advancing to the Super Regionals for the first time in school history.

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal RALEIGH — The goal of every official working games at this week’s NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors — and every official in every sport, for that matter — is to remain as anonymous as possible.

It’s a luxury Dee Kantner never had during her days in the league.

As one of the NBA’s first female referees, the spotlight of attention was on her every time she donned her whistle and took the court. No matter how cleanly the game was called.

But that’s exactly why she took the job in the first place.

“It was an opportunity to make the statement that women can do this,” Kantner said last month upon her induction into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame.

“Somebody had to take that first step, and now more women are doing it.”

Kantner was hired by the NBA along with Violet Palmer in 1997 in a move that was anything but a publicity stunt. By that time, she’d already earned a reputation for being one of the best, most respected referees in women’s basketball — a game she said was “different, but the same” as the men’s version.

Her impressive resume includes 22 college Final Fours and 14 national championships games. In 1997, she won the prestigious Naismith Award as the Women’s Basketball Official of the Year. In addition to her four seasons in the NBA, she also spent a year as the supervisor of officials for the WNBA. Not bad for someone who never had any intention of being a referee for a living. Or even fit the profile of one.

“My high school basketball coach, who’s one of the most influential people in my life, said that in all the thousands of athletes she had met and coached throughout her 25-year career, I was the last one she ever thought would be a referee,” Kantner said. “I wonder what that means?”

It means that she has a competitive streak and an outspoken personality that made her the kind of player referees come to hate.

But that disposition, she said, is one of the reasons she’s learned to have patience with the players and coaches involved in the games she works.

No matter what they say to or about her.

The same goes for those watching at home on TV.

She learned that early in her career, when reffing was still a side gig from her “real job” as a sales engineer for Westinghouse Electric.

“When women’s basketball, thanks to ESPN, started getting seen more and more on television, it gave me an advantage over many of the other sales people because I was so visible,” said Kantner, who has a degree in engineering from Pittsburgh. “But the customers did tell me I sucked. I’ve heard it all. In every language.”

Surprisingly, her time in the NBA was among the least contentious.

“I know there was some trepidation or concerns,” she said. “The first time men see a woman official, they’re taken aback. You have to scratch out your territory a little more sometimes. But ultimately, I was accepted.”

She’s also been accepted as a North Carolinian, even though she spent her formative years living in her native Pennsylvania.

Kantner came to Asheville through her work with Westinghouse in 1984, the same year she was hired by the Southern Conference for her first reffing job. Even though she wasn’t born a Tar Heel, she said she loves calling North Carolina her home.

Her pride in her adopted home state only grew when she learned of her selection into its sports Hall of Fame.

“Pennsylvania hasn’t even inducted me yet,” she said with a chuckle.

She is the second straight official to be inducted into the N.C. shrine, joining baseball umpire Joe West in 2018. As excited as she was to be included in this year’s class, the honor took on even more meaning when he learned that she was going in alongside national celebrities Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Davis Love III. The rest of the new Hall of Famers are football player and artist Ernie Barnes, administrator Willie Bradshaw, outdoorsman Eddie Bridges, football coach Rod Broadway, former ACC commissioner Gene Corrigan, wrestling coach Steve Gabriel, longtime Elon athletic director Neill McGeachy, former UNC quarterback Paul Miller and football coach Thell Overman.

“My mother is a huge Dale Earnhardt Sr. fan,” Kantner said.

“I had a picture taken with him in Charlotte a number of years ago, and she didn’t even see my face in the picture.

“When I said I was inducted into the North Carolina Hall of Fame and I said that Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Davis Love III were in the same group, it was like, ‘Oh wow!’ Now you have some gravitas. But it’s been tremendous and humbling. I’ve loved getting to know all of these people and hearing their stories.”

The Durham Bulls’ Brendan McKay, one of the Tampa Bay Rays’ top prospects, is one of two players on the team attempting to become a two-way player.

Bulls experiment with pair of two-way players Brendan McKay, Jake Cronenworth try to juggle pitching and playing field

By Shawn Krest North State Journal DURHAM — In 1919, Babe Ruth pitched 133 innings as a starter for the Boston Red Sox. In between his days on the mound, he batted 432 times, becoming the last MLB player to log at least 100 innings and 200 at-bats in the same season.

After a mere 100-year hiatus, the era of the two-way player appears to be returning.

Shohei Ohtani won Rookie of the Year last year, playing two ways for the Angels, before an arm injury derailed his two-way efforts — he’s spending this year as a DH only.

Several organizations, including the Tampa Bay Rays, are working hard to get two-way guys to the big leagues. Tampa currently has a pair of them with the Triple-A Durham Bulls.

Brady Williams is the manager tasked with the daunting job of juggling the pair of two-way guys, presumably without putting them at risk of an Ohtanitype setback.

“Talking to them is important,” he said. “Obviously checking on their day-to-day, how they feel. Pitching takes a lot out of you. It’s quite demanding. It’s a full-body workout every time you throw a pitch. Making sure those guys are staying healthy, not getting fatigued, is the main thing.

Managing their workload is important.”

One of the two versatile Bulls is Brendan McKay, who is one of the top two prospects in the Tampa organization. Since being drafted fourth overall by the Rays in 2017, McKay has rocketed through the system. He arrived in Durham in May after going 3-0 with a 1.30 ERA in Double-A Montgomery, striking out 62 in 412/3 innings.

McKay brought a scoreless inning streak with him to Durham, which was finally snapped at 29 innings in his second start with the Bulls. While he homered for

teach me, I think I can continue to take steps forward.”

Jones’ first act of leadership for the new season was announcing his decision to stay without first taking a look at the draft process.

“I didn’t even test the waters,” he said. “I knew I wanted to stay for my second year right away. It would have been no harm. I definitely could have tested, but I had no intention of leaving. I didn’t want my draft stock to affect whether I was leaving or not. If I was ready to leave, I would just go. I wasn’t looking at draft stock.

I was just looking at myself and where I am as a player.”

his first hit as a Bull, he admits that his hitting trails his pitching on the development schedule.

“It’s there in the statistics and everything,” he said. “I still want to do it, but I’ve got to keep going along, make adjustments and keep working at it. … I want to do the two-way thing and have success with it, to prove it can be done.”

The team is being cautious with McKay. He’ll only appear as a DH on nonpitching days — not in the field. He’s pitching on a sixday schedule, instead of the normal five, and he has the days immediately before and after each start off.

He’s got company on the Bulls.

Jake Cronenworth, who has spent his first four years in the Tampa organization as a full-time shortstop, has spent the season preparing for the two-way life. He’s had a pair of one-inning stints on the mound this season, hitting 96 mph on the radar gun.

It’s safe to say the experiment hasn’t harmed Cronenworth at the plate: He’s currently the International League batting leader with a .362 average.

That raises the natural question: Will the Bulls ever go with a Cronenworth-McKay tandem on the mound for a game, possibly allowing the team to go without a DH for a day?

“I can envision that,” Williams said. “In fact, it’s probably gonna happen. We can attack a game with those two guys. We want to develop both of them. If that’s the best way to do that, we’ll do it.

Brandan needs to be a guy who can do that — he might not start the game. He might come in and be the long (relief) guy. Cronenworth might be an opener in the future.”

The method behind all this madness is a rule change coming to MLB for the 2020 season. Rosters will be limited to 13 pitchers at the big league level. Having a position player who can also pitch is a loophole that was designed into the rule (it’s called the “twoway” exception).

“I think it’s turned into the way to help manage your roster,” McKay said. “If you need an extra guy — I think teams are real-

izing that having multiple people is a good thing. You can be able to hold another pitcher back, give guys rest or be able to roll through pitchers a little more, rather than wearing one guy out and having to sit him for two days.”

Teams have always turned to position players in blowout games to pitch the final inning, rather than wearing out a reliever’s arm in a lost cause. That has also become more common as teams look for ways to cope with the coming roster limitations — and perhaps stumble across a potential two-way guy.

Last season, there were 48 games in MLB where position players pitched (not including Ohtani), which was more than double the previous season’s total. There have already been more than 30 of them this season in just over two months.

Tampa and the Bulls were ahead of that trend, too. In 2016, four Bulls position players pitched in a total of seven games, posting a 2-1 win-loss record, showing that they weren’t just showing up for mop-up work.

Regardless of whether it’s a spot appearance or, like McKay and Cronenworth, something that will become part of the job description, two-way work still takes a special type of player.

“You’ve got be careful,” Williams said. “It’s not for everybody. If one guy can do it, that doesn’t mean another guy can. I think it’s skill set, the strength of the player, not overworking them too much. Because there have been a lot of great athletes in this game that could have pitched and played the field. But it was too hard to do both.”

In other words, there’s a reason it took 100 years to try it again.

Jones’ decision came as a pleasant surprise to five-star forward Wendell Moore, a key member of the incoming freshman class.

“When I first found out, I was excited for him,” Moore said. “He did what was best for him. But him coming back is also a huge piece for us. We think we can make a lot of noise this year.”

While Jones didn’t even choose to enter the draft process, Duke got good news from another veteran player who did. Forward Javin DeLaurier, a rising senior, chose to return to school after going through the pro evaluations.

Classmate Marques Bolden remained in the draft, along with one-and-dones Zion Williamson,

Cam Reddish and RJ Barrett.

“It is huge,” Krzyzewski said.

“We are really happy with Marques staying in, as he got some good, positive feedback. We will have an older upper class, which is something we need. Jack (White), Javin (are seniors). Justin Robinson will be in graduate school. Alex (O’Connell) and Jordan (Goldwire) are juniors — hard to believe — and they have learned a lot. We didn’t look at any transfers or grad transfers. We thought that we just wanted to stick with the guys we have, and we didn’t try to get any additional kids in recruiting. We felt let’s go with the group that we have and be committed to them, and hopefully, it works out well.”

“It’s not for everybody.

If one guy can do it, that doesn’t mean another guy can.

In response to North Carolina’s growing skills gap and its detrimental impact on the state’s economy, the NC Chamber Foundation has launched an innovative new workforce and leadership development program: Talent Pipeline Management (TPM).

TPM is a nationally recognized program, leveraged by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, and has helped businesses in multiple sectors transform their workforce pipelines. It is a demanddriven, employer-led approach to close the skills gap by building pipelines of talent aligned to dynamic business needs.

“The skills gap in our workforce limits opportunity for businesses and individuals alike. Without immediate action, this challenge poses a major threat to North Carolina’s competitiveness and the readiness of our current and future workforce,” said Gary Salamido, president of the NC Chamber Foundation.

The TPM process starts with the TPM Academy, where business, education and community leaders are trained in the framework’s six strategies to drive partnerships with education and training providers. The TPM Academy of North Carolina is now accepting applications for the inaugural class, which begins in September.

After the TPM Academy, trained facilitators then utilize supply-chain management principles to follow the TPM framework, resulting in a more data- and performance-driven approach to improving partnerships between business and education. The core of the TPM program is the formation of employer collaboratives.

Certified TPM specialists form employer collaboratives to identify shared workforce development needs based on detailed demand planning. The employers then work together to identify education institutions, certification programs and other workforce improvements that will fill the demand.

Local research team aims to take NC sweet potato revival global

By Emily Roberson North State Journal SWEET POTATOES have become big business in North Carolina.

Much of the staple crop’s recent success is due to its advocates at NC State University scientists and researchers who had a vision that has revived an industry and holds incredible promise for our economy at home and for some developing nations. According to the latest news from the NC State Horticulture Science program specifically focused on potato breeding and genetics, agriculture writer Bill Krueger notes that the work of Dr. Craig Yencho could transform the way sweet potatoes are eaten in several African countries, improving the health of young children and their mothers and creating new economic opportunities.

2005 marked the beginning of a journey that would take these researchers from fields in eastern North Carolina halfway around the world to a small village in Uganda, says Krueger.

As the sweet potato business was flagging in the state due to a predominantly used varietal not suited to our soil and climate, breeders set out to create a seed that could withstand the sandy soil and hot climate, while looking appetizing on store shelves and retaining nutritional value.

What they eventually developed was a sweet potato variety they called Covington, which had begun as a botanical seed in 1997 and progressed through years of field trials. Within a few years, Covington was the top choice for sweet potato farmers in the state. By 2017, the amount of sweet potatoes grown in North Carolina had nearly doubled and North Carolina had reclaimed its place as the leading producer of sweet potatoes in the United States.

Krueger quotes Jim Jones, who grows about 1,500 acres of sweet potatoes in Nash County, and says Covington was “the best thing that’s happened in the sweet potato business.”

Dr. Yencho, a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor and leader of NC State’s sweet potato and potato breeding and genetics program, was one of the masterminds behind Covington from the very beginning, and has been able to leverage some national scientific and industry-specific resources to continue his work. He currently leads an effort, fueled by a $12 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to bring molecular science to sweet potato breeding programs in Uganda and a handful of other sub-Saharan countries in Africa. As explained to Krueger, Yencho’s ultimate goal is twofold — “to use sweet potatoes to increase economic opportunities and to get sweet potatoes’ nutrients into the bellies of children and pregnant women who suffer from such serious vitamin A deficiencies that they are in danger of going blind.”

However, as Krueger notes, while sweet potatoes are already a staple of the diet for many families in Uganda, most of the sweet potatoes grown in Africa would be unfamiliar to American consumers, used to the familiar bright orange flesh. Instead, they have white, cream-colored or yellow flesh, are not as sweet or soft, and lack many of the nutrients found in U.S. sweet potatoes.

Changing consumer preferences is part of Yencho’s challenge, and while early promotional efforts touting the health benefits of orange foods such as sweet potatoes and mangoes have created some converts, the primary struggle is in breeding varieties hardy enough to withstand the harsh environmental challenges Uganda poses with

Apple previews new software as it diversifies beyond iPhones The Associated Press SAN JOSE, California (AP) — Apple CEO Tim Cook kicked off a keynote Monday previewing upcoming changes to the company’s phone and computer software as it diversifies to offset eroding sales of its bedrock product, the iPhone.

Many of the software updates are expected to be tailored for dig-

ital services such as video streaming that Apple is rolling out to lessen its iPhone dependence.

Cook began his keynote by recapping services Apple announced earlier this spring, including a news reading service and an arcade service for mobile games. He also previewed one of the original shows Apple is producing for its new video-streaming service, “For

All Mankind,” set in an alternate history where the Soviets were first to land a man on the moon.

The software showcase is an annual rite. This year, however, Apple is grappling with its biggest challenge since its visionary co-founder, Steve Jobs, died nearly eight years ago.

Although still popular, the iPhone is no longer reliably driving

insects and drought.

This North Carolina team of scientists and researchers have begun to build an infrastructure in Uganda that is yielding results through systems and training programs that are designed to increase output and continued research. Krueger notes that encouraging signs can be found throughout Africa, and points to programs in Rwanda, Malawi and Mozambique that have all seen an increase in the consumption of orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, even in the midst of poverty and harsh conditions. This is due in large part to an evident “entrepreneurial spirit,” says Yencho.

As for the future commodification of the Covington sweet potato, Krueger explains that Yencho and his partner hold the patent on the specific breed, and NC State licenses it to be grown in North Carolina, around the country, and even in a few other nations, which generates revenue that is used to cover the cost of the university’s breeding program.

And here in North Carolina, the sweet potato business has never been better.

Krueger highlights Scott Farms in Lucama, N.C., the fifth generation now farms 12,000 acres in five counties, which house facilities that pack 40,000–50,000 pounds of sweet potatoes an hour to ship to U.S. and foreign markets. Of course, one of the most mentionable results of this 20-year effort is Yamco, in Snow Hill, N.C., which distills Covington Gourmet Vodka, a winner of multiple international awards.

As the sweet potato market continues to grow in the U.S. and abroad, it seems that North Carolina is poised to yet again to capitalize on the unique blend of old and new, wisdom and innovation that continues to define our best efforts.

Apple’s profits the way it has for the past decade. Sales have fallen sharply for the past two quarters, and could suffer another blow if China’s government targets the iPhone in retaliation for the trade war being waged by President Donald Trump.

Another potential problem looms. Regulatory complaints and a consumer lawsuit both question whether Apple has been abusing the power of its iPhone app store to thwart competition and gouge smaller technology companies that rely on it to attract users and sell their services.

Apple is trying to adapt by squeezing money from digital ser-

Summer Energy Saving Tips Summer is almost here and the higher temperatures can lead to increased energy costs. Fortunately, there are things you can do to keep costs in check and dramatically lower your utility bills – while also keeping you cool.

Clean or change your AC filter A dirty air filter reduces air flow and causes your system to use more energy, which in turn results in higher energy costs. Replace or clean filters as recommended by the manufacturer.

Service your HVAC system Hiring a licensed HVAC service technician to service and maintain your cooling system annually is a simple step that can address small problems before they become bigger and potentially more expensive ones.

Program your thermostat Installing and setting a programmable thermostat can save you up to 10 percent per year on heating and cooling costs. Setting your system for one temperature when you’re at home and another when you’re away is another simple way to reduce energy costs.

Use ceiling fans to cool your home Keeping your thermostat at 78-80 degrees and cooling your home with ceiling fans can lower your monthly electricity bills without sacrificing comfort. And simply running your ceiling fans counter-clockwise in summer can decrease the room temperature by four degrees. See your fan’s instruction manual to perform this action safely.

C2 Chain closes NC stores over racist receipts Charlotte A national chain has closed two of its North Carolina stores and two workers were fired after racist names were added to two customer receipts. News outlets reported Monday Smoothie King announced that it closed the stores in Charlotte after the receipts were issued Sunday. Photos of the receipts were posted on Twitter. In one instance, an employee listed the n-word as the customer name on a receipt. On the other, a Korean customer was listed as “Jackie Chan.” A company statement said both workers were terminated and the two stores involved will be closed “until the franchisees and their respective teams complete further training” to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

The company also said it is continuing to investigate to ensure that anyone else involved has been fired.

Survey: US manufacturing growth slowed in May Washington, D.C. U.S. manufacturers grew at a slower pace in May, as production levels fell slightly. The Institute for Supply Management, an association of purchasing managers, says that its manufacturing index slipped to 52.1 last month, down from 52.8 in April. Any above 50 signals an expansion in manufacturing.

The sector has been reporting growth for 33 months. The productivity measure slumped in May, although new orders and employment both improved. Still, Timothy Fiore, chair of the ISM manufacturing survey committee, said the May index reflects a “slowing expansion.” “I don’t see us as contracting,” said Fiore. “New orders are expanding but expanding very weakly.” Multiple companies surveyed for the index said that import taxes imposed by President Donald Trump on China were a concern. The import taxes are making it harder to import components as well as making U.S. exports more expensive.

One chemical company surveyed said they would shift business from China to Mexico. But that move could be complicated by Trump announcing last week that he would apply tariffs to Mexican imports to force that country to stop immigrants and drugs from crossing the southern border with the United States.

APPLE from page C1 the same on the Mac and other personal computers. Instead of iTunes, separate apps for music, video and podcasts are expected to be offered for computers, mirroring how Apple already handles those services on mobile devices.

Apple also provided a glimpse at a separate app store for its smartwatch to lessen its dependence on the iPhone.

The platform was used to show off updates to a wide range of built-in iPhone apps for maps, books, messaging and finding missing devices.

More features are also expected for Apple’s 2-year-old toolkit for creating augmented reality apps, which project digital fabrications into the real world. Although augmented reality remains a small niche, Apple is hoping the concept will catch on, potentially setting the stage for a new headset that analysts expect within the next few years.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has been promoting the promise of augmented reality, but hasn’t publicly confirmed that Apple is working on an AR headset.

FDA food testing finds contamination by ‘forever chemicals’ FDA identifies troubling levels of industrial compounds in many grocery foods, similar to the contamination levels found in wells and land surrounding Chemours plant near Fayetteville

By Ellen Knickmeyer The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Food and Drug Administration’s first broad testing of food for a worrisome class of nonstick, stain-resistant industrial compounds found substantial levels in some grocery store meats and seafood and in offthe-shelf chocolate cake, according to unreleased findings FDA researchers presented at a scientific conference in Europe.

The FDA’s disclosure is likely to add to concerns raised by states and public health groups that President Donald Trump’s administration is not acting fast enough or firmly enough to start regulating the manmade compounds, called “forever chemicals.” A federal toxicology report last year cited consistent associations between very high levels of the industrial compounds in peoples’ blood and health risks but said there was not enough evidence to prove the compounds as the cause.

The levels in nearly half of the meat and fish tested were double or more the only currently existing federal advisory level for any kind of the widely used manmade compounds, which are called perand polyfluoroalykyl substances, or PFAS. The level in the chocolate cake was higher: more than 250 times the only federal guidelines, which are for some PFAS in drinking water.

Food and Drug Administration spokeswoman Tara Rabin said Monday that the agency thought the contamination was “not likely to be a human health concern,” even though the tests exceeded the sole existing federal PFAS recommendations, for drinking water.

As a handful of PFAS contami-

nations of food emerge around the country, authorities have deemed some a health concern but not others. The agency considers each discovery of the compound in food case by case, including the kind of food, levels of contamination, frequency of consumption and latest scientific information, Rabin said.

“Measuring PFAS concentrations in food, estimating dietary exposure and determining the associated health effects is an emerging area of science,” the FDA said.

PFAS, created by DuPont in 1938 and put into use for tough nonstick cookware, now exists in an estimated 5,000 varieties. Industries use the product to keep grease, water and stains off countless consumer items, including in food packaging, carpets and couches, dental floss and outdoor gear.

The chemicals also are found in firefighting foam, which the Department of Defense calls irreplaceable in suppressing jet-fuel fires. Especially around military bases and PFAS facilities, decades of use have built up levels in water, soil and some treated sewage sludge used to fertilize non-organic food crops and feed for livestock.

They’ve been a topic of congressional hearings, state legislation and intense federal and state scrutiny over the past two years.

The federal toxicology review last year concluded the compounds are more dangerous than previously thought, saying consistent studies of exposed people “suggest associations” with some kinds of cancers, liver problems, low birth weight and other issues.

Because the tough compounds are predicted to take thousands of years to degrade, and because older versions have been found to accumulate in peoples’ bodies, PFAS has acquired the name “forever chemicals.”

The Environmental Protection Agency earlier established a nonbinding health advisory threshold of 70 parts per trillion for two-phased out forms of the contaminant in drinking water.

Trump’s EPA said it would consider setting mandatory limits instead in the wake of the federal toxicology report and after federally

mandated water sampling found high levels in many drinking water systems around the country. The administration has called dealing with PFAS contamination a “potential public relations nightmare” and a “national priority.”

Impatient for federal action, several states have moved to regulate the chemicals on their own, including setting standards for groundwater or drinking water.

In the FDA study, conducted in October 2017, researchers oversaw market basket testing for more than a dozen PFAS, drawing on samples of food on sale in three undisclosed mid-Atlantic cities.

FDA researchers discussed the results at the annual conference by the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry in Helsinki, Finland, last week.

Two environmental groups, the Environmental Defense Fund and the Environmental Working Group, obtained written results and charts from the FDA presentation and provided them to The Associated Press.

PFOS, an older form of PFAS no longer made in the U.S., turned up at levels ranging from 134 parts per trillion to 865 parts per trillion in tilapia, chicken, turkey, beef, cod, salmon, shrimp, lamb, catfish and hot dogs. Prepared chocolate cake tested at 17,640 parts per trillion of a kind of PFAS called PFPeA. The FDA presentation also included what appeared to be previously unreported findings of PFAS levels — one spiking over 1,000 parts per trillion — in leafy green vegetables grown within 10 miles (16 kilometers) of an unspecified eastern U.S. PFAS plant and sold at a farmer’s market.

It also previewed test levels for a previously reported instance of PFAS contamination of the food supply, in the feed and milk at a dairy near an Air Force base in New Mexico.

The FDA said the contamination in that milk was a health concern.

It said it would release detailed data on that soon.

The FDA in 2015 and 2016 revoked approval for some older versions of PFAS in food packaging, although it was one of those versions

that was found in high levels in its testing of meat and seafood.

In its statement, the FDA noted studies suggesting newer forms may also pose a health risk. It said it was working with other federal agencies to determine appropriate next steps.

“What this calls for is additional research to determine how widespread this contamination is and how high the levels are,” Linda Birnbaum, director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, said separately in an interview. “We have to look at total human exposure — not just what’s in the water or what’s in the food ... or not just dust. We need to look at the sum totals of what the exposures are.”

Birnbaum added, “Nobody is exposed to just one form of PFAS in isolation. You’re exposed to a whole mixture.”

It’s unclear what human health risks are posed by the presence of PFAS chemicals in foods, said Jamie DeWitt, a toxicologist at East Carolina University, who studies PFAS compounds.

The discovery of PFAS contamination in wells and land around a Chemours Co. manufacturing plant near Fayetteville has made North Carolina one of the focuses of study for exposures.

“Drinking one glass of contaminated water is unlikely to be associated with health risks, as is eating one slice of contaminated chocolate cake,” DeWitt said. “Individually, each item is unlikely to be a huge problem, but collectively and over a lifetime, that may be a different story.”

Sally Brown, a University of Washington researcher who supports the use of treated sewage sludge by agriculture, said the FDA’s findings were “not a major concern.”

“If you are worried about this type of compound it makes sense to ban the cookware and the dental floss” treated with PFAS, Brown said.

Near Fayetteville, neighbors of the Chemours PFAS facility are making plans for a Fourth of July parade float dedicated to warning others just how widely PFAS was turning up in the area.

The float will feature men fishing in a contaminated pond and vegetables growing in a contaminated garden, said Michael Watters, who lives a mile (1.6 kilometers) from the plant. Watters said he has stopped consuming well water and vegetables from his own land.

Congress launches Big Tech antitrust probe

By Rachel Lerman The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — The federal government may be warming up its antitrust enforcement machine and pointing it at Big Tech.

On Monday, the House Judiciary Committee announced a sweeping antitrust probe of unspecified technology companies . In a statement, it promised “a top-to-bottom review of the market power held by giant tech platforms,” which would be the first such Congress has ever undertaken.

Earlier in the day, shares of Facebook, Google, Amazon and Apple dropped significantly after published reports suggested that federal authorities are preparing for investigations into anticompetitive behavior by several of these technology giants.

Facebook’s stock dropped 7.5%.

Shares of Google parent Alphabet fell 6.1%. Amazon declined 4.6%.

Apple, which has only been mentioned tangentially in these reports, fell 1%.

Some of the underlying developments appear to represent a

divvying up of turf between the Department of Justice’s antitrust cops and the Federal Trade Commission, which also holds antitrust authority. The Justice Department would reportedly hold authority over Google and Apple, while the FTC would take point on investigations of Facebook and Amazon.

Over the weekend, multiple reports said the Justice Department was preparing a competition investigation into Google . On Monday, the Wall Street Journal cited unnamed sources to report that the FTC has secured the rights to bring a possible investigation into Facebook .

Investors may have reacted immediately to the uncertainty, but investigations — if any materialize — would take years.

“I think (the speculation) is becoming more real, but antitrust is not a 24-hour event,” said Blair Levin, a fellow with the Brookings Institution who formerly served as chief of staff to a Federal Communications Commission chairman.

It’s clear that the government is paying increasing attention to the actions of big tech companies,

he said, but outcomes could take many different forms. Most likely, he said, could be regulation of the companies’ various practices, including privacy policies.

Pressure has been mounting on government to scrutinize the companies for some time, as backlash against tech companies’ reach and power grow in among consumers and politicians. The splitting up of jurisdictions between the FTC and DOJ could be simply a response to the pressure, said Sandeep Vaheesan, legal director for Open Markets Institute, which advocates against monopolies.

“There’s still a long way to go before there is even an investigation,” he said. “And an investigation could be an extended process.”

European authorities have covered ground U.S. regulators have barely considered — resulting in billions of dollars in fines for Google, and lesser fines for other companies.

That’s one model the U.S. could follow, Levin said. But political motivations and laws differ in the U.S., and regulations haven’t nearly caught up with the fast-moving

world of the tech industry.

Vaheesan would like to see the government take aim at what Open Markets sees as market dominating practices by the big companies — partially by undoing large acquisitions that tech giants have made, including Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram and Google’s of YouTube.

But others think it’s unlikely the government would take such broad action.

“The problem with all this antitrust talk: the consumer isn’t being gouged,” said Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Securities.

Stocks are sinking because investors don’t like uncertainty, he said. But in this case, “the reaction vastly exceeds the potential harm to the company from a fine,” he said.

The FTC is already investigating Facebook for possible privacy violations . The FTC declined to comment and Facebook did not immediately respond to a message for comment. Facebook has set aside $3 billion for a possible fine for that investigation and said it could be as high as $5 billion.

father’s day gift guide

NSJ Staff

More than a tie

FATHER’S DAY can sometimes be an afterthought against the backdrop of school years ending and summer vacations beginning.

Most children are out of school for the midJune holiday, so fathers, like children with birthdays over the summer, often go uncelebrated through handmade classroom gifts.

For loyal spouses and children, the pressure is on for finding that perfect Father’s Day gift, and the clock is ticking. Father’s Day is June 16 this year. In 1909, Washington state made an official recognition of Father’s Day on June 19, 1910, after lobbying work from the YMCA and local churches. Slowly the holiday spread across the country but was not a national holiday until President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972.

During the Great Depression, retailers advertised it as a “second Christmas” for dads, advertising tobacco and neckties. Today, it is still a welcome summer boost for retailers.

From statewide retailers like Charlotte-based Belk and Mooresville-based Lowe’s Home Improvement to locally owned shops, Father’s Day stands alone as a retail holiday between Mother’s Day and back to school.

According to the National Retail Federation, Father’s Day spending has grown 70 percent, approximately $6.6 billion, since 2009.

The biggest drivers of Father’s Day spending are growth in spending by consumers ages 3544, and spending on clothing, special outings and gift cards. This year, 75.9 percent of people plan to celebrate and are expected to spend a record $138.97, up from last year’s $132.82, and up from $91 in 2009.

Consumers ages 35-44 plan to spend the most at an average $197.66, more than $100 more than this age group spent 10 years ago.

Men planned to spend the most for Mother’s Day this year and are also likely to spend more than women for Father’s Day at $160.74 compared with $118.29.

“It’s important to consumers of all ages that their gift for dad is unique and creates a special memory,” Prosper Vice President of Strategy Phil Rist said. “For example, subscription box services have become a popular unique gift option, particularly among younger consumers.”

When searching for the perfect gift, 39 percent of consumers will head to department stores, 34 percent will shop online, 24 percent will shop at a discount store, 23 percent at a specialty store, 11 percent at a specialty clothing store and 2 percent via catalog. More than half (57 percent) of smartphone/tablet owners plan to use their device to assist in Father’s Day gifting decisions, with 38 percent using their mobile device to research products and compare prices.

Most dads give little if any direction to help with gift ideas, so North State Journal is stepping in to give you a hand. Every dad is unique, but here are a few gifts that will make your dad smile. Whether it’s a classic gift or something more spiritous, this guide will help ease the stress of Father’s Day shopping and get your dad’s summer off on the right foot.

Neckties might be a cliched Father’s Day gift, but Southern haberdashery High Cotton offers neckties, bow ties, and cummerbunds that are perfect for a North Carolina dad. High Cotton offers classic accessories for gentlemen, inspired by a higher purpose and committed to the South’s values and people. The brand uses locally hand-cut and hand-sewn products to support the revival of the N.C. textile industry and the Southern tradition of the mannerly, warm, and approachable well-dressed gentleman. See their ad below for a special North State Journal discount.

Bourbon If you are searching for a low-key gift for your dad, replenishing his bourbon stock may be the way to go. Conviction Small Batch Bourbon from Southern Grace Distilleries in Mount Pleasant is located in a former prison that operated from 1929 until 2011. Conviction is the first bourbon to ever (legally) be aged behind bars. Conviction was named best bourbon under 4 years old at the New Orleans Bourbon Festival.

Available at retailers from Asheville to Duck and at highcottonties.com.

Available at N.C. ABC stores and more information at southerngracedistilleries.com.

Nomadic moves When it’s time to step away from the grill and hit the water, dad should look cool and feel comfortable. Nomad Trunks is a veteran-owned apparel brand based out of Wilmington, and their retro prints and vibrant colors will make dad stand out at the pool party or on the beach.

Available at select retailers, including Redix, Wrightsville Beach and online at nomadtrunks.com.

Bulletproof Wisconsin-based BenShot offers unique glassware for the dad who has everything. The company itself developed from a father-son project and turned into a national brand. BenShot’s unique bullet glasses are created in a glass workshop on the grounds of a repurposed furniture factory formerly owned by Thomas Edison in rural Wisconsin. The glasses are made in the USA. Available at benshot.com.
