NEWS BRIEFING

NC to hold special elections Voters in the 3rd and 9th congressional districts will decide on new representation in the U.S. House next week as state officials urged voters to cast ballot early with Hurricane Dorian threatening the N.C. coast. The two special elections are seen by national pundits as a key indicator of President Donald Trump’s strength in the Tarheel State. Trump is scheduled to stump for Sen. Dan Bishop on Monday in Fayetteville.

Texas shooter purchased rifle at private sale The gunman in a West Texas rampage that left seven dead obtained his ARstyle rifle through a private sale, allowing him to evade a federal background check that previously blocked him from getting a gun, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official spoke to The Associated Press Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation.

Officers killed 36-year-old Seth Aaron Ator on Saturday outside a busy Odessa movie theater after a spate of violence that spanned 10 miles, injuring around two dozen people in addition to the seven dead.

North Carolina prisoner accused of killing fellow inmate Sheriff’s deputies in Craven County have accused a prisoner of killing a fellow inmate. The Craven County Sheriff’s Office says in a Facebook post that a man was found dead in a cell at the county jail on Monday.

The victim’s name has not been released pending notification of relatives, The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation looked into the death and charged 60-year-old Gary Scott Garfield of New Bern with an open count of murder.

STATE ELEVATE THE CONVERSATION

Cooper vetoes Medicaid transition bill, signs pay measures

By Gary D. Robertson The Associated Press RALEIGH — Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper responded to Republicans passing piecemeal legislation to break their budget impasse by signing four employee pay bills on Friday. But he vetoed a funding measure needed to stand up North Carolina’s forthcoming Medicaid managed-care system his administration will operate.

Cooper signed measures that gave most state employees and state law enforcement officers 2.5% annual raises this year and next. Top state executive and judicial branch officials also got similar raises, although Cooper said he donated his included annual salary increase of about $3,700 to a group that helps teachers buy classroom supplies.

The vetoed measure would provide hundreds of millions of dollars to run the Medicaid program for the next two years with the transition to managed-care treatment that’s been expected to go online in 27 counties on Nov. 1. Meeting that deadline already was highly unlikely even before Friday’s veto, a key Republican legislator said this week.

Cooper’s health and human services department has been working to bring managed care to 1.6 million Medicaid enrollees statewide, and needs the changes and funding identified in the bill to get the massive project over the finish line. Like the pay raises, most of the Medicaid bill provisions were in the two-year state budget measure See COOPER VETO, page A2

Gov. Roy Cooper responds to a question during an interview at the Governor’s mansion in Raleigh in this undated file photo.

RALEIGH — Weather-tested residents along the coasts of Georgia and the Carolinas are using their past experience with intense storms to guide them as they safeguard their homes and decide whether to heed evacuation orders.

As of Tuesday morning, locations along the entire N.C. coast were under evacuation orders. Dare County was under a Hurricane Watch with mandatory evacuation orders in effect. Vacationers were ordered out of the county by sundown on Tuesday with residents able to remain until 6 p.m. Wednesday. UNC Wilmington closed its campus at

5 p.m. Tuesday and will be closed through Friday at 5 p.m. East Carolina University cancelled classes for Thursday and Friday.

Gov. Roy Cooper has ordered mandatory evacuations from Kure Beach to the Outer Banks. During a news conference Tuesday, Cooper said, “do not try to ride this out.”

Dorian weakened to a Category 2 hurricane Tuesday after slamming into the Bahamas as a terrifying Category 5 storm with 185 mph winds.

The threat of a direct hit on Florida had all but evaporated, but Dorian was expected to pass dangerously close to Georgia and South See DORIAN, page A2

North Carolina judges toss legislative district maps

By Emery P. Dalesio The Associated Pressl RALEIGH — A North Carolina trial court has rejected state legislative district maps, saying lawmakers took advantage from drawing districts to help elect a maximum number of Republicans. The three-judge panel of state judges ruled Tuesday that courts can step in to decide when partisan advantage goes too far.

“Partisan intent predominated over all other redistricting criteria resulting in extreme partisan gerrymandered legislative maps,” the judges wrote in their ruling. “The effect of these carefully crafted partisan maps is that, in all but the most unusual election scenarios, the Republican Party will control a majority of both chambers of the General Assembly. In other words, the Court finds that in many election environments, it is the carefully crafted maps, and not the will of the voters, that dictate the election outcomes in a significant number of legislative districts and, ultimately, the majority control of the General Assembly.”

Republicans argued there’s no clear way for judges to know what kinds of redistricting are unacceptable. Democrats and their allies said the districts were so gerrymandered See REDISTRICTING, page A2

COOPER VETO from page A1 Cooper vetoed June 28.

Cooper defended Friday’s veto by saying health care policy should be done broadly — a likely reference to his budget demand that GOP lawmakers come to the negotiating table and talk about expanding Medicaid enrollment to hundreds of thousands of low-income, working adults. Republicans insist there aren’t the votes to approve expansion now, but they also currently lack the votes to override the budget veto.

“Passing mini-funding bills that simply divvy up the vetoed Republican budget is a tactic to avoid a comprehensive budget that provides for health care and other important needs like education,” Cooper said in his veto message. “Health care is an area where North Carolina needs us to

2019 NC Debutante Ball leaders announced NSJ staff RALEIGH — The Terpsichorean Club of North Carolina announced Friday the Chairman of the 2019 North Carolina Debutante Ball along with the Ball Leader and Honorary Chair.

The Debutante Ball will be held on Friday, September 6 at Meymandi Concert Hall. The Chairman of this year’s Ball is James Curtis McCaskill. McCaskill and his committee, along with the Girls Committee, are in charge of planning and organizing the events associated with the 93rd annual Ball weekend.

The Terpsichorean Club has selected Miss Mary Suiter Ragland to serve as the Leader of the Debutante Ball. She will be escorted by her father as well as McCaskill.

Ragland is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Trent Ragland III of Raleigh. She is the granddaughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Trent Ragland, Jr. of Raleigh and the late Mr. Lucius Rives Taylor, Jr. of Weldon and Mrs. Lucius Rives Taylor, Jr. of Raleigh. She has one brother, Mr. William Trent Ragland IV, of Raleigh.

Ragland graduated from Saint Mary’s School where she was an active member of the school’s community. She played on the varsity lacrosse and field hockey teams and was the captain of both squads. She also served as Chief Marshall, Captain of the Student Ambassadors, and Boarding Prefect at Saint Mary’s.

Ragland is currently a sophomore at N.C. State and is a member of Sigma Kappa Sorority. She spent the summer working as a children’s camp counselor at the

do more, and to do it comprehensively.”

Still, Cooper couldn’t pass up signing popular stand-alone employee pay measures, which received unanimous House and Senate support. Pay increases, retroactive to July 1, also will go to troopers, state investigatory agents and correctional officers.

GOP leaders are taking out pieces of the vetoed budget and running them separately with a goal of winning points with the public and reducing leverage Cooper could have in negotiations.

Republican lawmakers said they would pass other stand-alone measures from the budget in September addressing school safety, disaster relief and sexual assault evidence kits.

Republican legislators knew Cooper would likely veto the Medicaid managed-care measure

they unconstitutionally insulated politicians from changing voting behavior.

Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Eden) issued a statement after the court’s decision saying the General Assembly would move forward with adoption of a “nonpartisan map.”

“This case is the next step in Eric Holder’s drive to use judges to create a Democratic majority,” said Berger. “Thwarted at the U.S. Supreme Court, Holder has turned to state courts with Democratic majorities to, in his own words, ‘favorably position Democrats’ to game the redistricting process.”

Berger also said the court’s ruling “contradicts the Constitution and binding legal precedent.”

However, he said that it was time to “finally put this divisive battle behind us. Nearly a decade of relentless litigation has strained the legitimacy of this state’s institutions, and the relationship between its leaders, to the breaking point. It’s time to move on.”

In the 357-page ruling, Judges Paul Ridgeway, Joseph Crosswhite, and Alma Hinton said the maps violated the N.C. Constitution. The judgment in the case also rejected the use of federal law, including the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that held federal courts should not decide redistricting disputes.

The court also said it would not stay its ruling pending any appeals and retained discretion to move the primary dates. The court gave lawmakers until Sept.

18 to again redraw maps.

If the case is appealed, the outcome could be months away. The state Supreme Court’s composition is 6-1 in favor of Democrats.

Carolina — and perhaps strike North Carolina — on Thursday or Friday.

The U.S. military also took precautions Tuesday as Hurricane Dorian threatens ships and planes based on Virginia’s coast.

U.S. Air Force Col. David Lopez said in a statement that F-22 Raptor fighter jets and T-38 Talon training planes will leave Langley Air Force Base in Hampton. The planes will fly to the Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base outside Columbus, Ohio.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy is ordering ships on Virginia’s coast to prepare to leave if necessary.

Vice Adm. Andrew Lewis said in a statement that ships at the world’s largest Navy base in Norfolk and other nearby installations will be ready to depart within 24 hours.

By heading out to sea, the ships will better protect themselves and reduce significant potential damage to piers, airplanes and other pieces of infrastructure.

In the Bahamas, which were pounded as Dorian stalled with Category 5 winds, relief officials reported scenes of utter ruin and rushed to deal with an unfolding humanitarian crisis in the wake the storm. Dorian is the most powerful storm on record ever to hit the islands. At least five deaths were reported, with the full scope of the disaster still unknown.

The storm’s punishing winds and muddy brown floodwaters destroyed or severely damaged thousands of homes, crippled hospitals and trapped people in attics.

“It’s total devastation. It’s decimated. Apocalyptic. It looks like a bomb went off,” said Lia Head-Rigby, who helps run a local hurricane relief organization and flew over the Bahamas’ hard-hit Abaco Is-

Coral Bay Club.

Ragland’s father, William Trent Ragland III, is a Raleigh native and graduated from N.C. State. He is the owner of Ragland Properties Inc. and also serves as Chairman of the W. Trent Ragland, Jr. Foundation, established by his father in 1959. The foundation has supported, and continues to support, numerous organizations including the Boys and Girls Club, Boy Scouts, Salvation Army, Raleigh Rescue Mission, United Way, Meals on Wheels and Hospice.

Ragland’s mother, Wes Taylor Ragland, graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is an active member of Christ Episcopal Church, and she served on the board of the N.C. Museum of History Associates. Mrs. Ragland has also volunteered her time to many local organizations including Saint Mary’s, Ravenscroft, Saint Savior’s Center, WakeMed Hospital, and the Carolina Ballet.

Ragland has extensive ties to the North Carolina Debutante Ball dating back to the 1940s.

Her paternal grandmother, Anna Wadsworth Wood Ragland, was a debutante in 1941 and served as Honorary Chair of the ball in 1974. Miss Ragland’s mother and maternal grandmother, Mary Royall Joyner Taylor, were debutantes in 1985 and 1956, respectively. Her aunt, Anna Wood Ragland, was the Leader of the Ball in 1965 and her aunt, Alice McKenzie Ragland, made her debut in 1969. Both her father and her grandfather were also members of the Terpsichorean Club.

There will also be eight Assistant Leaders from across the state. They are:

given the largely party-line votes during floor debate this week.

Still, Senate Republicans said Friday a Cooper veto on the bill modernizing Medicaid shows he’s not serious about caring for current Medicaid enrollees.

“On one hand he signs four mini-funding bills related to law enforcement and state employee salaries, but then he vetoes a bill years in the making to streamline the state’s Medicaid system because he says that he doesn’t like these mini-funding bills,” Sen. Ralph Hise of Mitchell County said in a news release.

Health and Human Services Secretary Mandy Cohen wrote senators on Thursday that the Medicaid overhaul can’t go live with the base funding Medicaid is running on during the stalemate.

“It is my hope the General Assembly will negotiate a comprehen-

sive budget solution” with Cooper, she said.

The Medicaid overhaul process began with a law in 2015, during Republican Gov. Pat McCrory’s administration. Medicaid is moving from traditional fee-for-service coverage to flat monthly allotments to health insurance companies and a physicians’ group awarded contracts to treat each patient covered. DHHS didn’t respond to a request this week for an update on the process.

Rep. Donny Lambeth, a Forsyth County Republican, said this week it was unlikely the Nov. 1 start for recipients in the 27 counties would happen even if Cooper signed the bill because the bill language should have been passed months ago. Lambeth said managed-care now likely won’t begin until early next year.

She said her representative on Abaco told her that “there’s a lot more dead” and that the bodies were being gathered up.

Emergency authorities, meanwhile, struggled to reach victims amid conditions too dangerous even for rescue workers, and urged people to hang on.

“We wanted to go out there, but that’s not a risk we’re capable of taking,” Tammy Mitchell of the Bahamas’ National Emergency Management Agency told ZNS Bahamas radio station. “We don’t want people thinking we’ve forgotten them. ... We know what your conditions are. We know if you’re stuck in an attic.”

Practically parking over a portion of the Bahamas for a day and a half, Dorian pounded the northern islands of Abaco and Grand Bahama with winds up to 185 mph (295 kph) and torrential rain before finally moving into open waters Tuesday on a course for Florida. Its winds were down to a still-danger-

ous 110 mph (175 kph).

In the Bahamas, Red Cross spokesman Matthew Cochrane said more than 13,000 houses, or about 45% of the homes in Grand Bahama and Abaco, were believed to have been severely damaged or destroyed. U.N. officials said more than 60,000 people on the hardhit islands will need food, and the Red Cross said some 62,000 will need clean drinking water.

“What we are hearing lends credence to the fact that this has been a catastrophic storm and a catastrophic impact,” he said.

Lawson Bates, a staffer for Arkansas-based MedicCorps, flew over Abaco and said: “It looks completely flattened. There’s boats way inland that are flipped over. It’s total devastation.”

The Red Cross authorized a half-million dollars for the first wave of disaster relief, Cochrane said. And U.N. humanitarian teams stood ready to go into the stricken areas to help assess the damage and the country’s needs, U.N. spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said. The U.S. government also

Thornhill is a native of Raleigh. She graduated from Needham Broughton High School and Salem College where she received a BA in Biology. In 1969, she married George Tudor Thornhill III with whom she has a daughter, Carol Cooper Thornhill, and a son, George Tudor Thornhill IV, as well as 2 grandchildren.

Over the years, Mrs. Thornhill has volunteered her time to many organizations. She is actively involved with the Rex Healthcare Guild where she held multiple prior offices. Additionally, she has served as a board member for many local boards including the Junior League of Raleigh, Museum of History Associates, and Hilltop Home for Children.

Thornhill has many connections to the North Carolina Debutante Ball. She made her debut in the 1966 North Carolina Debutante Ball, and she served as the Chairman of the Girls Committee in 1985. Her husband and her son were both members of the Terpsichorean Club and her daughter was the Leader of the Ball in 1996.

Abaco and Grand Bahama islands, with a combined population of about 70,000, are known for their marinas, golf courses and all-inclusive resorts. To the south, the Bahamas’ most populous island, New Providence, which includes the capital city, Nassau, and has over a quarter-million people, suffered little damage.

The U.S. Coast Guard airlifted at least 21 people injured on Abaco. Rescuers also used jet skis to reach some people as choppy, coffee-colored floodwaters reached roofs and the tops of palm trees.

“We will confirm what the real situation is on the ground,” Health Minister Duane Sands said. “We are hoping and praying that the loss of life is limited.”

Sands said Dorian rendered the main hospital on Grand Bahama unusable, while the hospital in Marsh Harbor in Abaco was in need of food, water, medicine and surgical supplies. He said crews were trying to airlift five to seven kidney failure patients from Abaco who had not received dialysis since Friday.

The Grand Bahama airport is under 6 feet of water.

NASA satellite imagery through Monday night showed some places in the Bahamas had gotten as much as 35 inches of rain, said private meteorologist Ryan Maue.

Parliament member Iram Lewis said he feared waters would keep rising and stranded people would lose contact with officials as their cellphone batteries died.

Dorian also left one person dead in its wake in Puerto Rico before slamming into the Bahamas on Sunday. It tied the record for the strongest Atlantic storm ever to hit land, matching the Labor Day hurricane that struck Florida Gulf Coast in 1935, before storms were given names.

Despite political talking points, experts agree it’s not unlawful for sheriffs to serve ICE detainers

By Dan E. Way North State Journal LEGAL and constitutional experts agree: ICE detainers are constitutionally permitted instruments to enforce immigration law, and local police can lawfully honor them.

But they must be executed voluntarily if there is not a state law requiring local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration officials.

Some disagreement remains about the constitutional particulars among different federal courts.

And the experts interviewed for this story concur that there is plenty of confusion about arrest warrants and detainers. A warrant is issued for criminal activity, and a detainer is specifically for an immigration violation that could lead to removal from the country.

The issue has been a sizzler in North Carolina. The General Assembly passed House Bill 370 requiring sheriffs’ departments to honor ICE detainers. Noncompliance could be punished by a sheriff’s removal from office.

A few sheriffs in urban jurisdictions said they would not serve the detainers, and Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed the bill, calling it unconstitutional.

“This legislation is simply about scoring partisan political points and using fear to divide North Carolina,” Cooper said in his veto message. If implemented, the bill would

“On one extreme people will say these ICE detainers are illegal altogether. I just want to emphasize that’s not true.”

Shawn Fields weaken law enforcement “by mandating sheriffs to do the job of federal agents, using local resources that could hurt their ability to protect their counties,” Cooper said.

“We support the bill high-priority, and we do regret the governor’s veto,” said Eddie Caldwell, N.C. Sheriffs’ Association executive vice president and general counsel.

He acknowledged some association members oppose H.B. 370.

Each sheriff is a constitutionally elected officer with individual opinions, he said, “and we certainly respect that.”

Ilya Shapiro, director of the Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute, said detainers are unquestionably constitutional.

However, he said, no arm of the federal government can force state officials to cooperate on serving them because state and federal governments are dual sovereigns with separate sources of power. The same principle surfaced in states that legalized marijuana re-

fusing to carry out federal laws against the drug.

“If the state takes no position and gives no instruction to local law enforcement about whether to cooperate or not to cooperate then it’s whatever the local sheriff or police chief sets policy for the department,” Shapiro said. Those decisions can be political.

But states can pass laws that trump local decisions because local governments are creations of the state, and are subject to state rules and laws. Ultimately a sheriff must follow state law unless there is a federal constitutional defect, which is not the case with ICE detainers and H.B. 370, Shapiro said.

“On these sorts of hot-button political issues people go to extremes on both sides,” said Shawn Fields, who teaches immigration law at Campbell University School of Law. “On one extreme people will say these ICE detainers are illegal altogether. I just want to emphasize that’s not true,” Fields said. “It’s just the way that they are applied pose real constitutional problems.”

The chief concern is violations of the Fourth Amendment, which requires probable cause to make a criminal arrest, Fields said.

ICE detainers are also subject to the Fourth Amendment. They can run afoul of its requirements because they ask local law enforcement officials to keep a subject in custody for up to 48 hours beyond the time they would otherwise be released, Fields said. That could

stretch out even longer because weekends are not figured into the 48 hours.

“The Constitution and Supreme Court case law clearly says this new seizure has to be justified by probable cause under the Fourth Amendment,” Fields said.

Caldwell said in November 2018 the N.C. Court of Appeals ruled in Chavez v. Carmichael that honoring an ICE detainer is lawful under existing state law. He thinks the most current version of H.B. 370 also is constitutional. It requires that a person subject to a detainer be taken before a judicial official without unnecessary delay, and the judicial official must order the subject to be held in custody.

Fields contends probable cause is nuanced. It requires that the person be a noncitizen, and subject to removal at the time the detainer is issued due to a criminal conviction.

“That’s one major constitutional problem with these ICE detainers, is it presumes a lot of the time that someone’s been convicted of an offense when they’ve only been arrested,” Fields said. Another problem is a 2012 Supreme Court ruling in Arizona v. United States that said it is not unlawful for an undocumented immigrant subject to removal to remain in the country.

That is a civil matter.

“So law enforcement can’t just pick people up on immigration violations and hold them for ICE detainers,” Fields said.

Conversely, he said, many un-

documented noncitizens arrested by law enforcement for some independent criminal activity may have a history of aggravated felony convictions, for example, “and they clearly are subject to removal at that time.”

John Dinan, a politics professor at Wake Forest University whose research focuses on constitutional law, said some federal district court rulings have lent support to lawsuits advancing the claim that it is unconstitutional on 4th and 14th Amendment grounds for local law enforcement officers to honor ICE detainers.

But U.S. Senior District Judge Glen Conrad reached a different conclusion in an opinion released July 15 in a Virginia case. Virginia, like North Carolina, is covered by the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Conrad concluded that neither the Fourth Circuit nor any other Circuit Court has determined that it would violate the U.S. Constitution for local officials to honor ICE detainers and administrative warrants, Dinan said.

“In fact, in a ruling issued last year concerning a Texas law that is similar to the North Carolina bill in that it requires law enforcement officials to honor ICE detainers, the Fifth Circuit Court determined that the Texas law did not violate the U.S. Constitution, and could be implemented,” Dinan said. “The U.S. Supreme Court has not issued any opinion to the contrary.”

North Carolina State Fair 2019: ‘Nothing could be finer’

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal RALEIGH — The lights, the music, the rides and the smells. Summer’s almost over and it’s never too early to start thinking about the N.C. State Fair.

The fair’s theme this year is ‘Nothing could be finer’ and will offer up everything from agricultural exhibits, music, rides and of course, the latest delicious deep-fried concoctions. Last year’s “hot foods” included strips of bacon coated with frosting and cereal and a Texas Pete glazed doughnut.

Opening day this year is October 17 and runs through October 27.

Advance sale tickets began on August 1 and various ticket packages for multi-day admission and special attractions are also available.

“Buying in advance can save you up to 45% off prices once you arrive at the fair,” said Kent Yelverton, state fair manager.

This year’s fair has something really big coming; the largest traveling Ferris wheel in North America. It’s called the Sky Gazer and its 36 enclosed gondolas will lift fair goers at a whopping 155 feet in the air. For comparison, that’s 62 feet above Dorton Arena and would be like gliding up to the top of a 15-story building.

“North Carolinians who visit the State Fair every year have their traditions, but we never stop trying to ‘wow’ you,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler, adding that they’ve been trying to bring the Sky Gazer to the Fair since 2017.

The Sky Gazer is not included in fair admission or on ride wristbands. Tickets are $6 in advance or $7 once the fair begins.

Music lovers can check out the Homegrown Music Festival featuring headliners like Stevie Wonder, Branford Marsalis Quartet, The Embers and The Charlie Daniels Band.

Fairgoers can also listen to a variety of over two dozen other bands and artists from country to metal and Hip Hop to jazz at one of fair’s other performance venues. Former “The Voice” contestant Molly Stevens will be playing at the Waterfall Stage and former NASCAR driver Kyle Petty will perform with folk singer David Childer at the Heritage Circle Stage.

Familiar exhibits, rides and events will be there again, like sweet

potatoes and soybeans at the Got To Be NC Agriculture exhibit and the livestock and horse competitions.

There are over a dozen other competitions from cheese to photography and graphic design to tobacco stringing.

“More than 35,000 exhibits are entered into the fair each year,” said John Buettner, competitive exhibits director for the NC State Fair.

“The fair offers hundreds of categories and, we encourage fairgoers of all ages to look through the online premium book to see if your favorite craft, produce, artwork or skill is blue-ribbon worthy.”

This year a new cooking contest called “The Cool Bean” has been

added. Contestants will be asked to create their best edamame or tofu dishes for the judges.

Alongside the old and familiar are also a few new things like Kegs, Corks & Pop at the Our State Public House where fairgoers can sample of craft soda, up to two 8oz. N.C. craft beers, or up to two 3oz. N.C. wine samples. Kegs, Corks & Pop Passes are only available online in advance of the fair and must be purchased before midnight on Thursday, Oct. 17.

The N.C. State Fair’s 166-year history is rooted in agriculture and it still is today. Managed by the state’s department of agriculture, the mission of the modern fair is

Our primary focus is the preservation and growth of investment capital. We employ a highly-selective approach vetted by in-house research. Our

the same as that of its early beginnings — “to showcase and promote the state’s agriculture, agribusiness, arts, crafts and culture through the annual agricultural fair.”

The State Agricultural Society held the first fair which lasted 4 days back in 1853. It wasn’t until 1891 that the first midway ride — a coaster called the Switchback Railway — was added. Food booths started to make their way onto the scene in 1900, and by 1928 the fair was relocated to its current site and several buildings for educational and commercial use were added.

It’s National Chicken Month NC Medicaid overhaul rollout pushed back by budget impasse

By Gary D. Robertson The Associated Press

North Carolina is third nationally in production of broiler chickens behind Georgia and Arkansas. In 2018, North Carolina’s broiler chicken production was worth over $3.8 billion. According to the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, there were over 873 million broilers produced from Murphy to Manteo in 2018. This week’s map shows the top 10 counties for total chicken production in the state. Almost every county in N.C. has some commercial chicken production.

But last year, Sewell says Montlawn informed her they realized they’d already sold her husband’s plot to another customer who started paying for it six months before Barnes was buried there.

Barnes’ body was dug up after five years in the plot. A judge ruled the man with the original contract was entitled to the site.

School shooting threat deemed not credible

Classes canceled due to police chase

Ashe County Police are investigating a shooting threat at Ashe County High School last week. A text message circulated among students, which was shared with administrators.

The school went into a soft lockdown until officials determined that the threat was not credible and was intended to interrupt the school day. Police say they have narrowed the suspect list.

Stokes County Mount Olive Elementary and Chestnut Grove Middle School in King both dismissed students shortly after 10 a.m. last week after a police chase resulting in a crash caused a power outage at both schools. Police began chasing a stolen car from Winston-Salem four hours earlier. The chase ended when the car struck a power pole. The driver was arrested.

Hundreds of county residents have signed a petition in an attempt to save the Terrell Country Store. The historic site opened in 1883, but the current owners were told they have one month to vacate after the property owner sold the land the store is on to a developer who plans to tear it down.

Residents hope to move the building off the land before the sale is finalized.

Man sentenced for fatally stabbing grandmother 23 times Durham County Travon Evans, 22, has pleaded guilty to the 2014 slaying of his grandmother and the attempted murder of his then 4-yearold brother. Evans was 17 at the time prosecutors say he stabbed his grandmother 23 times, leaving a baby covered in blood beside her in bed. The 18-month-old wasn’t hurt. Prosecutors say Evans then cut his younger brother’s throat. Evans was sentenced to 12 to 15 years in prison and credited for the 2,000 days he’s already spent in jail.

** All counties have a Ferry for repairs to 1.5route pt.closed white stroke ramp system

Cumberland County Police say the father of a 2-year-old girl who confronted and fought with a man accused of peeping on the child at the family’s home will not be charged. The father said he saw Steven Michael Dunning looking through the window of his daughter’s bedroom Tuesday night. He chased the suspect into their backyard and confronted him. The father wasn’t identified. Fayetteville police say Dunning had to be hospitalized and will be charged with secret peeping once he’s released. Dunning’s injuries weren’t disclosed.

New Hanover County Transportation officials say a ferry route closed because of a problem with the ramp system is slated to reopen in October. The Southport-Fort Fisher route was closed after the ramp system used to load cars onto the ferry and let them drive off failed on Tuesday. Before resuming ferry service, workers will need to replace cables and repair the damaged portion of the ramp. The department says it hopes to resume service on Oct. 1. Ferry commuter pass holders will get an extension equal to the length of the outage.

Crews take down the old Bonner Bridge

Police search for watermelon thief

Dare County Old Bonner Bridge is coming down after nearly six decades over the Outer Banks.

The new $252 million, 2.8-mile Basnight Bridge over Oregon Inlet opened in February and is supposed to last 100 years. In April crews began dismantling the old span. In all, 70,000 tons of debris will be unloaded offshore on four different existing artificial reefs. As of this week, 374 of 1,619 piles have been extracted and 46 of 187 spans removed.

The project is expected to be finished in early 2020.

Chowan County Police are searching for a man who has allegedly stolen watermelons in the Rocky Hook area. Deputies said to be on the lookout for a white male in a pickup truck.

RALEIGH — A portion of North Carolina’s Medicaid population won’t shift to managed care coverage this fall due to the extended state budget stalemate, the Department of Health and Human Services announced on Tuesday.

Managed care was supposed to go online for Medicaid enrollees in 27 northern counties on Nov. 1, with the rest of the state phased in on Feb. 1. But without funds to cover the transition and final changes needed to set rates for health care entities providing coverage, the first batch of counties can’t move forward that quickly, DHHS Secretary Mandy Cohen said.

“Without a new budget ... we do not have the ability to go live with managed care,” Cohen said. Managed care services are now scheduled to begin in all 100 counties on Feb. 1. Cohen suggested the updated rollout schedule could be revisited again if a budget isn’t worked out by mid-November.

The updated managed-care language was contained in the budget bill, but Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed the bill in late June, in large part because it lacked Medicaid enrollment for hundreds of thousands of additional adults through the 2010 federal health care law.

Republican lawmakers last week sent him a stand-alone measure containing similar Medicaid managed-care provisions, but he vetoed that too, citing health care as “an area where North Carolina needs us to do more, and to do it comprehensively.”

Starting with a 2015 state law,

Medicaid is moving from a traditional fee-for-service model to one in which four private insurers and a physicians’ partnership awarded contracts by the state will receive fixed monthly payments for every patient seen. About 1.6 million of the 2.1 million Medicaid enrollees in North Carolina will participate for now.

Health officials say the changes should lead to improved health outcomes and more fiscal stability for Medicaid, which spends about $4 billion in state tax dollars annually.

Cohen, a Cooper appointee, said even if the governor had signed last week’s bill, there wouldn’t have been enough time to get everything in place for a Nov. 1 rollout. And the general budget uncertainty this summer already had slowed down her agency’s work to finalize contracts with health care providers, she said.

When Cooper vetoed the Medicaid bill last week, Republican legislators said the governor was letting his demand for expansion get in the way of carrying out needed Medicaid reforms.

Cohen acknowledged that bringing all 100 counties online at the same times increases the risk for operational problems that the original phase-in could have possibly avoided.

Medicaid recipients in the 27 counties — stretching from Boone to Rocky Mount and including the Triangle and Triad — will be contacted about the delay. Open enrollment — when enrollees can choose which health plan they’ll use — in those counties will now continue until Dec. 13, when enrollment in the other counties also will end. Enrollment in the 73 counties begins Oct. 14.

Inverted yield curves, Russian collusion, what next?

I am more concerned with the return of my money than the return on my money.

LIBERAL CABLE NEWS outlets that desperately want to get President Donald Trump removed from office any way possible have seized on the “inverted yield curve” as the next best political way to get him out of the White House.

Why use a financial term in electoral politics?

“Russian collusion” didn’t work. Impeachment is a moot point since the 2020 election is already underway. Why not jump on “inverted yield curves” to scare voters to vote against him even if hardly any know what it is?

Put very simply, an inverted yield curve happens in U.S. Treasury bond markets when long-term rates in 30-year bonds are lower than shortterm rates of, say, 2-year bonds. When investors get spooked by something negative they see in economic indicators, they want to put their money in the safest possible financial instrument they can find.

When investors bid up the price of the 30-year bond for its safety, the effective stated yield on any issued bond is essentially pushed down. Such a flight to safety usually diminishes the demand for short-term bonds, which then drop in price by comparison and drives their effective interest rates up.

Short-term interest rates going up are not good for the economy either.

Higher interest rates mean it costs more for businesses to borrow and invest, hurting their expansion plans or need to hire more workers — although one has to wonder how much of difference it really makes when we are in the lowest overall interest rate environment since the 1960s.

Many economists see inverted yield curves as harbingers of a recession occurring anywhere from 8 to 24 months after inversion.

In the hopeful eyes of MSNBC and CNN commentators, a bad recession will happen right when people go to the polls to vote for President Trump or Elizabeth Warren perhaps in November 2020.

Is it a “definite” indicator of a looming recession?

Ed Yardeni, a noted investment strategist, wrote in a recent newsletter that “an inverted yield curve has predicted 10 of the last 7 recessions.” He went on to say: “Inverted yield curves don’t predict recessions … They’ve

tended to predict financial crises, which morphed into economy-wide credit crunches and recessions.”

There have been at least two occasions since 1960 when an inverted yield curve flashed an incorrect prediction for recession, in 1965 and 1998.

If this is a false reading of the inverted yield curve with no financial crisis in the offing, what else could be going on?

Apparently, the whole world is sending money for safekeeping in the U.S. Negative interest rates in Europe will do that to nervous investors as will unrest and tension in the Middle East, Hong Kong and China.

Inverted yield curves might not mean what they used to mean. In 1980, the yield on a 30-year bond was near 15%. In 1990, it was 9%. In times of higher interest rates, inverted yield curves meant more than they do in the flat 2% interest rate, essentially zero inflationary expectations of today.

A real estate investment executive said their investment projects were slowing down some, but not because he thinks a financial bubble-induced recession is imminent. Cost of materials is rising as are the costs of labor due to a shortage of skilled construction workers, but the main thing constricting their new investments is competition from foreign money looking for a safe harbor in America.

His investors typically have demanded 8% returns on their investments.

He turned down a recent investment from a Lebanese investor who wanted only a 5% return, an amount that would undercut his longer-term partners which he was unwilling to do.

For now, America is looking like the only place where sophisticated investors the world over are paraphrasing a quote oft-attributed to Will Rogers: “I am more concerned with the return of my money than the return on my money”.

Relying on inverted yield curves as a political tool to get President Trump out of the White House might not work any better than “Russian collusion” did.

The Democrats’ obsession with identity politics comes back to bite them in Colorado senate race

To watch Democratic women play the woman card against their own party and to see the party scramble to defend their decision is a popcorn-worthy sight to behold.

JUST DAYS after dropping his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper announced a run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Republican Cory Gardner.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee was ecstatic.

“John Hickenlooper is far and away the strongest candidate to beat Cory Gardner, and we’re proud to support him in his run for Senate,” a spokesperson told media outlets.

Hickenlooper joins 11 other candidates, including seven women, who hope to challenge Gardner in the general election. Six of those seven women were not happy the DSCC chose a male candidate over one of them and let them know it.

In a letter sent on Women’s Equality Day last week, those six female candidates strongly condemned the committee’s early endorsement and insinuated sexism was at play. “All of us, like many women in Colorado and across the country, have seen well-qualified women passed over for male candidates in the workplace time and again,” the women wrote.

“The DSCC, by its endorsement, is implying that we should defer to a male candidate because you seem to believe he is ‘more electable,’” they continued.

What these women don’t seem to understand is that official campaign committees tend to put their valuable resources behind the candidates they believe will win races. “Electability,” not gender, is the name of the game for these committees.

Maybe the decision doesn’t seem fair because Democratic primary voters in Colorado haven’t had their chance to weigh in yet, but it’s certainly not sexist.

The DSCC has endorsed women over men in other Senate races already, believing those candidates have the best shot at helping them retake the Senate, which is the left’s second-highest priority in 2020.

When I read stories about Democrats waging identity politics wars against each other in the primary campaign season, I’m of two mindsets.

On one hand, from a purely partisan perspective, it’s amusing to watch them being hoisted by their own petard, especially considering how for the last decade or so Democrats have relentlessly, and falsely,

accused Republicans of waging “wars on women” on various issues.

To watch Democratic women play the woman card against their own party and to see the party scramble to defend their decision is a popcorn-worthy sight to behold.

On the other hand, as a woman I find it insulting the argument is being made that because a man is viewed as more electable over female candidates that somehow that equates to sexism. It doesn’t.

The identity politics dilemma is not just playing out for Democrats in the Colorado Senate race, but also the presidential race. The male candidates are being put on the spot about picking a woman as their vice presidential running mate should they become the nominee. Not based on actual qualifications, I should note.

Liberal commentators and other Democrats are pressuring male candidates to say they’d pick a woman simply on the basis that she’s a woman.

We’re seeing identity politics play out here in North Carolina against Democrat State Sen. Don Davis over his pro-life views.

“It’s extremely frustrating that one Democrat [Davis] betrayed women, OB/GYNs, his party and [Gov. Roy Cooper] tonight in order to side w/ GOP” in overriding Cooper’s veto of the Born Alive bill back in April, said Davis’ Senate colleague Natasha Marcus on Twitter.

The pro-abortion groups Lillian’s List and Planned Parenthood accused Davis of “turning his back on women” over his vote. They vowed to primary Davis with a “progressive, pro-choice woman.”

I guess it never occurred to Marcus nor those women’s groups that Davis might be pro-life for reasons that have nothing to do with being anti-woman.

The Colorado Senate race, the Democratic presidential race, and the left’s push to primary Davis all vividly demonstrate the folly of identity politics.

Business leaders can save NC health care

North Carolina’s private employers pay $2.34 for every dollar that Medicare paid hospitals for care.

THE NORTH CAROLINA State Employees Health Plan’s (SEHP) proposal to pay network hospitals less than in the past has been blocked this year by the state’s hospital community, precipitating a visible, high-drama dispute that promises to percolate into the future. State employees will have stable benefits for now.

But with a health plan that will run out of money in 2023, Dale Folwell, the state’s treasurer overseeing the SEHP, worries that hospital costs have become unreasonably high and that the system is designed to prevent managers from knowing what they’re paying for. The hospital community has publicly warned that lower rates will force hospital closures, harming care and diminishing patient access to critical services.

These arguments have been alarming, but health care finance is famously complex and there have been few efforts by either side to provide context or clarity.

A central question here is whether employer and union health plans already pay too much for hospital services. If the answer is yes, then another question is “What is a fair rate?”

Medicare reimbursement, which nearly all hospitals accept, is an important, established reference point in this discussion. In recent years, many private purchasers have negotiated reimbursement rates based on a percentage of Medicare.

A problem is that Medicare doesn’t pay enough.

Studies conducted by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), an independent agency advising Congress, found that Medicare reimburses hospitals at about 10% less than cost. Efficient hospitals lose about 2% on each Medicare patient, while the three-quarters of hospitals that lose money in Medicare lose about 18% on each patient. Intended or not, nongovernment payers subsidize Medicare’s below-cost reimbursements.

Hospitals compensate for Medicare losses by enforcing much higher pricing with employers and unions. A recent RAND Corporation study found that, on average, private health plans paid hospitals a staggering 234 percent of Medicare in North Carolina. Said another way, North Carolina’s private employers pay $2.34 for every dollar that Medicare paid hospitals for care.

Folwell originally proposed that the SEHP would pay hospitals 177 percent of Medicare. Subsequent revisions raised the proposed rate to 196% of Medicare. This is nearly 80 percent higher than

hospitals’ cost, a margin most businesses can only aspire to. Folwell’s last proposal would give hospitals $116 million more than his first offer but still save taxpayers and state employees $200 million relative to previous contracts.

There are a couple of takeaways here. First, the state’s hospitals appear to have rejected the SEHP proposal, not because it is unreasonable, but because they don’t want to make less money. That’s understandable, but rational businesspeople would only reject a margin of that magnitude if they’ve become accustomed to much higher returns.

Second, statements like the one this one from Cone Health to the Raleigh News & Observer, “The new State Health Insurance Plan will not pay what it costs to provide patient care,” are misleading. Even Folwell’s first proposal left plenty to pay for quality care with enough available to support ancillary programs and participating hospitals’ ongoing financial health.

Hospitals’ larger concern is that if the SEHP succeeds in reducing its rates, the state’s other employers and unions will want lower rates as well. To purchasers that are trying to keep up with relentlessly skyrocketing cost, the lack of a solid rationale other than “making what the market will bear” smacks of gouging and will breed long-lasting employer resentment and ill will.

Most disturbing is that there is little indication that the state’s hospitals are concerned about the burden their excessive costs place on the SEHP or North Carolina business generally. There appears to be no interest in health care costs’ toll on classrooms, on the state’s infrastructure or its economic competitiveness.

Tying hospital reimbursements to Medicare rates is among many smart tactics that purchasers have found effective in curbing health system abuse and driving new health care value. With more than 720,000 covered lives at stake, the battle over how the SEHP pays for hospital services has farreaching implications for the state and the businesses domiciled here. It is in all our interests for North Carolina’s business leaders to lend their support to Folwell’s efforts, encouraging the state’s hospitals to take the long view and to buy into pricing and quality that can nurture rather than impede the state’s growth and prosperity.

Retire the ‘Boneless Wonders’

Economic history is littered with examples of profligate nations which finally reach fiscal judgment day. It is very predictable and inevitably, very painful.

WINSTON CHURCHILL once recalled that, as a young boy, his parents took him to Barnum’s Circus where the sideshow headlined “The World-Famous Boneless Wonder.” The wonder was a giant slab of a man with no backbone. Although his parents determined it was too revolting for his young eyes, Churchill was haunted by this image for years, only to be confronted by it 50 years later as he gazed on the politicians of his day.

American voters confront a similar sight today. In just five years, the federal debt has exploded from $16 trillion to more than $22 trillion. While President Trump’s tax reform legislation has succeeded in unleashing substantial economic growth, Congress has shown absolutely no backbone in controlling federal spending.

In economic terms, we are perched atop a ticking time bomb. Deep down, American voters agree with Ben Stein: “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” Yet Congress has refused to reduce spending. Why? Because voters have too often elected candidates who ran as conservatives but lacked the backbone to say “no” to spending.

The latest data from the Treasury Department tell the story. In the current fiscal year, Federal revenues have climbed a healthy 3.4% reflecting the strong economy and the effects of tax reform. But federal spending soared by 8%, far outpacing the growth in revenues. It’s not a tax problem. It’s a spending problem.

Economic history is littered with examples of profligate nations which finally reach fiscal judgment day. It is very predictable and, inevitably, very painful.

Since the onset of the Great Society’s War on Poverty in the mid-’60s, we have spent — liberals would argue “invested”— more than $15 trillion on means-tested welfare programs. Between 1960 and 2010, federal welfare and entitlement spending increased from 19% to 43% of annual federal spending. These well-intentioned programs were designed not only to eliminate poverty but to eradicate the root causes of poverty.

The results? The overall poverty rate in 1966 stood at 14.7%, while in 2013 it stood at 14.5%.

What a disastrous “investment.” The government has massively redistributed income and, because this spending was financed with deficits, shifted the burden to future generations— all with no reduction in poverty.

As former U. S. Budget Director and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels has written, “As a people, we have discovered the ability to vote ourselves largesse from the federal treasury in such vast quantities that we are destroying our own chances at prosperity.” What works to the short-term reelection advantage of Congress will ultimately destroy our economy.

In this ongoing debate over spending, liberals clamor for the high ground by labeling any cuts in domestic spending as “immoral.” Conservatives have been far too timid in laying out the compelling moral arguments for reducing spending. Is it moral to pass a $22 trillion deficit to our grandchildren? Is it moral to waste taxpayers’ money on redistribution schemes that have not worked? Is it moral to create a huge class of Americans who are permanently dependent on federal programs?

President Calvin Coolidge correctly perceived the moral dimensions of government spending almost 100 years ago. He declared, “I am for economy in spending, not to save money, but to save people.” Former Sen. Tom Coburn has written, “Big government’s false promise of easy living and smug security has wreaked havoc not only in the nation’s finances, but also in American ideal of self-reliance and human dignity.” AEI’s Arthur Brooks concludes, “The fact that we have hardly moved the needle on earned success after spending trillions of dollars is not merely a failure of public policy. It is the greatest moral scandal of our time.”

When the Republicans regained the House in 2011, they wisely hit the brakes on spending. By 2014, spending was actually lower than in 2011. Congress’ record since 2015 has been just the opposite. Both parties have refused to cut spending. In just five short years, the federal debt has soared by more than 35%.

We now face an escalating fiscal – and moral — crisis.

Every two years American voters have the opportunity to assert themselves. It’s time to vote out every one of the “boneless wonders” — Democrat and Republican — who have participated in this spending orgy. Before it’s too late, we need to put some backbone into Congress.

Criminologists mislead us JOHN PAUL WRIGHT, professor at the University of Cincinnati, and Matthew DeLisi, professor at Iowa State University, have penned a powerful article titled “What Criminologists Don’t Say, and Why,” in City Journal, Summer 2017.

There is significant bias among criminologists. The reason for that bias is that political leanings of academic criminologists are liberal. Liberal criminologists outnumber their conservative counterparts by a ratio of 30-to-1. Ideology almost perfectly predicts the position of criminologists on issues from gun control to capital punishment to harsh sentencing. Liberal criminologists march in step for gun control, oppose punitive prison sentences and are vehemently against the death penalty.

In 2012, the National Academy of Sciences commissioned a study on the growth of incarceration. It showed that from 1928 until 1960, crime rates rose slowly each year. After the 1960s, crime rates exploded to unprecedented levels of violence until the 1990s. Prior to 1980, only 40% of individuals arrested for murder were sentenced to prison and those that were served an average of five years. In 1981, less than 10% of those arrested for sexual assault were sentenced to prison. Those who were sentenced served an average of 3.4 years. Liberal criminologists probably believe that light sentencing for murderers and rapists is just.

If criminologists have the guts to even talk about a race-crime connection, it’s behind closed doors and in guarded language. Any discussion about race and crime sets one up for accusations of racism and that can mean the destruction of one’s professional career. Wright and DeLisi say that liberal criminologists avoid discussing even explicit racist examples of black-on-white crime such as flash-mob assaults, “polar bear hunting” and the “knockout game.” These are cases where black youth seek out white people to physically attack.

According to Wright and DeLisi: “Disproportionate black involvement in violent crime represents the elephant in the room amid the current controversy over policing in the United States.

Homicide numbers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation Supplementary Homicide Reports, 1976-2005 indicate that young African-American males account for homicide victims at levels that are ten to 20 times greater than their proportion of the population and account for homicide offenders at levels that are 15 to 35 times greater than their proportion of the population. The black-white gap in armed-robbery offending has historically ranged between ten to one and 15 to one.

For all racial groups, violent crime is strongly intraracial, and the intraracial dynamic is most pronounced among blacks.” That means the primary victims of black crime are other black people. In more than 90% of homicides, for example, both the victim and the perpetrator are black.

Between 1991 and 2017, the nationwide violent crime rate fell from 758 cases to 382 cases per 100,000 people. Despite the evidence that higher incarceration reduces crime rates, many criminologists argue that “mass incarceration” has actually taken “minority men out of their neighborhoods, stripped them of voting rights, destabilized families, and sapped already-paltry economic resources from struggling communities.” Wright and DeLisi say: “Such claims could seem plausible only if one believes — contrary to evidence and common sense — that career criminals contribute positively to their neighborhoods, enjoy stable and functional families, vote, and work. What they did, in reality, was to prey on their neighbors.”

Crime is a major problem for the black community. But in addition to incarcerating those who prey on the black community, what can be done?

The answer is easy, though implementation poses a challenge. We should readopt the values and practices of our ancestors. Black families of yesteryear were mainly two-parent and stable, even during slavery. Black people didn’t tolerate property destruction. There were few school fights. Disrespect and assaults on teachers were virtually unknown.

These are now all too common. The strong character of black people is responsible for the great progress made from emancipation to today. Find a 70-, 80- or 90-year-old black person and ask him whether today’s conduct among black youth would have been tolerated yesteryear.

I guarantee you that no will be their answer.

NATION & WORLD UK’s Johnson suffers defeat in Parliament over Brexit The Associated Press LONDON — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson suffered a major defeat in Parliament on Tuesday night as rebellious lawmakers voted to seize control of the Brexit agenda. The prime minister immediately said he would call for a new general election.

The 328 to 301 vote cleared the way for Johnson’s opponents to introduce a bill Wednesday that would prevent Britain from leaving the European Union without a deal Oct. 31.

The cross-party rebels are determined to prevent a “no-deal” Brexit because of fears it would gravely damage the economy, and the vote came hours after Johnson suffered key defections from his party, losing a working majority in Parliament.

On a day of high drama and acerbic debate in the House of Commons, lawmakers returned from their summer recess to confront Johnson over his insistence that the U.K. leave the European Union on Oct. 31, even without a withdrawal agreement to cushion the economic blow. Many shouted, “Resign!”

A new general election would take Britain’s future directly to the people for a third general election in four years.

Earlier Tuesday, two other prominent Conservatives signaled their intention not to seek re-election rather than bend to Johnson’s will. Former Cabinet minister Justine Greening and former Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt also signaled their intention to stand down.

Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the main opposition Labour Party, lambasted the weakened Johnson and accused him of “riding rough-

Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaks to the media outside 10 Downing Street in London, Monday, Sept. 2, 2019. Johnson says he doesn’t want an election amid Brexit crisis and issued a rallying cry to lawmakers to back him in securing Brexit deal. shod” over the constitution in order to crash Britain out of the EU without a deal.

“He isn’t winning friends in Europe. He’s losing friends at home.

His is a government with no mandate, no morals and, as of today, no majority,” Corbyn said.

Corbyn says he wants legislation in place preventing a “nodeal” Brexit before agreeing to a new election.

“Enough is enough,” Johnson said. “The country wants this

done and they want the referendum respected. We are negotiating a deal and I am confident of getting a deal.”

Johnson’s tenuous position became clear even as spoke in Parliament for the first time since it reconvened. Lawmaker Phillip Lee rose from his chair on the Conservative benches and sat down with the Liberal Democrats, a defection that meant Johnson lost his slim working majority.

That makes Johnson vulnera-

ble should lawmakers opt to try to oust him in a vote of no confidence and will complicate passage of legislation.

Changing the government would not be so simple, however.

A no-confidence vote would spark a 14-day period in which Johnson could try to overturn the result. If he failed, there would be a general election.

During that key 14-day period, another lawmaker could try to win Parliament’s backing in

a vote. If they succeeded, Johnson should, in theory, have to step down and let the winner form a government.

But these rules were introduced in a 2011 law and have never been tested.

Time is short. Johnson last week maneuvered to give his political opponents even less time to block a chaotic no-deal Brexit, getting Queen Elizabeth II’s approval to suspend Parliament. His outraged critics sued, and attorneys arguing the case at a court in Scotland completed submissions Tuesday. The judge could rule as soon as Wednesday.

France’s Europe minister says she’s ready but still waiting for alternative British proposals for its divorce agreement with the EU. Secretary of state for European affairs Amelie de Montchalin said Tuesday the French government is focused instead on preparing for Britain to crash out of the trading bloc Oct. 31 without any plan for the future.

Just as Johnson told his Parliament that “alternative solutions” to the divorce deal are on the table, de Montchalin told reporters in Paris that she has received “no packet of documents” outlining them.

She wouldn’t comment on rising British political tensions over Brexit.

She accused British politicians of over-dramatizing the socalled backstop designed to avoid a new border between the EU’s Ireland and U.K.’s Northern Ireland. She said “the backstop is not a two-headed monster,” and “we are totally open to what the British propose.”

French government ministers met Tuesday with business leaders to prepare for a no-deal Brexit.

Iran oil tanker pursued by US turns off tracker near Syria

By Jon Gambrell The Associated Press DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — An Iranian oil tanker pursued by the U.S. turned off its tracking beacon, leading to renewed speculation on Tuesday that it will head to Syria. The ship had previously been seized by British authorities at Gibraltar.

The disappearance of the Adrian Darya 1, formerly known as the Grace 1, follows a pattern of Iranian oil tankers turning off their Automatic Identification System to try and mask where they deliver their cargo amid U.S. sanctions targeting Iran’s energy industry.

Meanwhile, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani reiterated on Tuesday that Tehran will not enter into direct talks with the U.S. unless Washington rejoins the 2015 nuclear deal that President Donald Trump withdrew America from over a year ago.

Trump’s withdrawal and the imposition of heavy economic sanctions on Iran have blocked it from selling its crude oil abroad, a crucial source of government funding for the Islamic Republic. Meanwhile, tensions have spiked across the Persian Gulf over mysterious tanker explosions, the shooting down of a U.S. military surveillance drone by Iran and America deploying more troops and warplanes to the region.

The Adrian Darya, which carries 2.1 million barrels of Iranian crude worth some $130 million, switched off its AIS beacon just before 1600 GMT Monday, according to the ship-tracking website MarineTraffic.com. The ship was some 45 nautical miles (83 kilometers) off the coast of Lebanon and Syria, heading north at its last report.

Earlier, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had alleged the U.S. had intelligence that the Adrian Darya would head to the Syrian port of Tartus, just a short distance from its last reported position.

The actions of the Adrian Darya follow a pattern of other Iranian ships turning off their trackers once they reach near Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea, said Ranjith Raja, a lead analyst at the data firm Refinitiv.

Based on the fact Turkey has stopped taking Iranian crude oil and Syria historically has taken around 1 million barrels of crude oil a month from Iran, Raja said it was likely the ship would be offloading its cargo in Syria.

“The Iranian oil going to Syria is not something new,” Raja said.

“This is a known fact.”

“It is now safe to assume she is in Syria’s territorial waters,” Tanker Trackers, an oil shipment website, wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.

Iranian officials haven’t identified who bought the Adrian Darya’s cargo, only that it has been sold.

The U.S., which has sought to seize the tanker, alleged in federal court that the ship is owned by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, a paramilitary organization answerable only to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The U.S. recently declared the Guard a terrorist organization, giving it greater power to pursue seizing its assets.

U.S. officials since have warned countries not to aid the Adrian Darya, which previously said it would be heading to Greece and Turkey before turning off its tracker Monday. Authorities in Gibraltar alleged the ship was bound for a refinery in Baniyas, Syria, when they seized it in early July. They ultimately let it go after holding it for weeks.

Meanwhile, Rouhani addressed Iran’s parliament on Tuesday and touched on ongoing negotiations aimed at saving the country’s unraveling nuclear deal. Under the landmark 2015 agreement, Iran agreed to limit its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.

The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed last week that Iran’s stockpile of low-enriched uranium still exceeds the amount allowed by the deal. The U.N. agency also said Iran continues to enrich uranium up to 4.5%, above the 3.67% allowed under the deal but still far below weapons-grade levels of 90%.

Iran has warned it will take additional steps away from the accord on Friday if it doesn’t get help from Europe to sell its oil abroad, calling it their “third step” away from

the deal. An Iranian lawmaker has suggested France is proposing a $15 billion credit line for Tehran if it returns to the deal.

Rouhani told lawmakers that Iran wouldn’t negotiate directly with the U.S. unless it returned to the deal. That’s after speculation grew of a possible meeting between Trump and Iranian officials following an appearance by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif at the Group of Seven meeting in August.

“Unfortunately after America’s violation (of the deal) and treachery and its getting out of its commitments, the Europeans too either failed to carry out their duties, or couldn’t do so, or both,” Rouhani told parliament.

Rouhani added: “If (the Europeans) don’t do anything significant, we surely will take the third step in

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi echoed that sentiment, lashing out at both Trump for pulling out of the nuclear deal and at Europeans for failing to implement a solution that would compensate for the U.S. withdrawal.

“They promised to find practical solutions in order to let Iran

still benefit from the sanctions lifting to compensate the absence of the U.S.,” Araghchi told a European economic gathering in Slovenia. “What happened? ... The Europeans are still not able to create a simple banking channel to let business between Iran and Europe, to let their own companies do business with Iran.”

Several key moves before the season opener will give special teams a new look

goals — including a school record-tying 52-yarder on the final play — to give A&T a 24-21 win against its FCS neighbor.

The victory helped elevate the Aggies to No. 15 in the first regular season FCS poll.

“Our philosophy has remained the same since Day 1,” Washington said recently at his team’s preseason media day. “We’re not going to try to reinvent the wheel in any way. We just do what we do and hopefully do it well.”

One thing A&T has traditionally done well during a five-year run that has seen it compile an impressive 34-5 record is play defense. And this year’s unit looks strong again despite the turnover in personnel.

THE CAROLINA PANTHERS will open the 2019 season this Sunday against the defending NFC champion Los Angeles Rams.

It’s a tough start for a team looking to get off on the right foot this year to help erase the memory of last year’s stretch run when a 6-2 start dissolved into a 7-9 year, thanks to a seven-game losing streak.

There are heightened expectations in Carolina, with Cam Newton seemingly recovered from the shoulder problem that plagued him the second half of last season.

A fully functional Newton should help the Panthers move up in the total offense rankings (10th last year) and passing rankings (17th).

Newton is surrounded by a roster that’s changing around him. Gone are longtime veterans Julius Peppers and Thomas Davis on defense, as well as the only center he’s had as a pro — Ryan Kalil.

The team had some high-profile additions during the offseason to help shore up the roster.

The pass rush should also be better with the additions of free agents Gerald McCoy and Bruce Irvin, as well as first-round draft pick Brian Burns.

The offensive line also got a revamp, with the addition of veteran center Matt Paradis and devoting the second-round draft pick to tackle Greg Little.

The change continued as the team moved through training camp to final cuts.

For the first time since 2011, the Panthers will have someone other than Graham Gano lining up for field goals. Gano has battled a leg injury all preseason, and the team ended up placing him on injured reserve, meaning he’s out for the entire season.

“His leg stayed the same,” coach Ron Rivera explained. “The pain was still there. It was the safest thing to do going forward.”

In his place will be rookie Joey Slye, a former undrafted free agent and NFL nomad out of Virginia Tech. Slye joked that he only packed enough clothes for a week when he first came to camp, assuming he was a placeholder until Gano returned.

Instead, he made seven of eight field goals in preseason and will need to send out for the rest of his wardrobe.

“The guys all understand the whole thing with Graham, with the injury,” Rivera said. “We’ve got a guy that came in — it’s a feel-good story, but at the same time, he earned it. We’re very confident he’s going to come in and do his job.”

Several other surprise players made the team, including undrafted free agent Jordan Kunaszyk, a linebacker out of Cal, and Reggie Bonnafon, a quarterback turned running back who spent last season on the practice squad.

“Guys come in and do things the right way, and a lot of times, it’s about that (as much as) your skillset and abilities,” Rivera said. “What separates you from the other young guys that come in is that both of them are guys that do a lot of extra things.

There’s a difference between a successful college football team and a successful program. It’s the ability to sustain a winning tradition even as key players come and go.

Or as in the case of NC A&T, key players and a Hall of Fame coach.

The Aggies began making that transition last season when defensive coordinator Sam Washington succeeded his retiring mentor, Rod Broadway, and led the team to a second straight Historically Black Colleges and Universities national championship.

They’re taking the next step this season now that many of their key players — including quarterback Lamar Raynard, running back Marquell Cartwright and defensive end Darryl Johnston — have moved on and must be replaced.

If last week’s season opener against Elon is any indication, there won’t be much drop-off. If any at all.

Duke prepares for home opener against NC A&T A week after Alabama, the Blue Devils face the HBCU champions

By Shawn Krest North State Journal DURHAM — Duke has played N.C. Central the last four years and six of the last seven.

Central left Duke’s schedule this year, but the Blue Devils are staying in the MEAC and the Aggie-Eagle rivalry.

The Blue Devils will face N.C. A&T in their home opener on Saturday, at 6 p.m. The game will be televised on ACC Network Extra.

Duke, smarting from a 42-3 loss to College Football Playoff runner-up Alabama in its opener, faces a team that claimed a national championship last year.

The Aggies won the Celebration Bowl, which unofficially decides the HBCU national title.

“I can tell you about A&T,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said.

“They’re a great program — not just having a great team. They’re champions. They do what champions do.”

Cutcliffe outlined what it takes to be a champion.

“There are three ingredients to what champions do: First, they have talent,” he said. “Second, they’re extremely well-coached.

The third thing is they compete at an extremely high level in all three phases. So they’re a really good football team and program. We had one of those this past week.

We have another now. You have to test yourself in those settings.”

The Aggies are coming off a clutch win over Elon in their opener, which came on a 52-yard field goal by MEAC special teams player of the week Noel Ruiz.

“Their kicker’s got a really strong leg,” Cutcliffe said. “Every kickoff last week was a touchback.”

half. While the score was lopsided, the Blue Devils came out of the game relatively healthy. Running back Brittain Brown and tight end Noah Gray both went down in the game with injuries, but Cutcliffe confirmed that Brown is back and practicing. Gray is sore from a hit to the ribs, but X-rays were negative.

The game should give the Blue Devils more of an opportunity to showcase the team’s prowess, particularly on offense.

Duke didn’t have much room to work last week, as the Crimson Tide held the Blue Devils to 204 yards of offense and 11 first downs.

Quarterback Quentin Harris finished with just 97 yards, throwing two interceptions.

“We only had two explosive plays in the game,” Cutcliffe pointed out.

Cutcliffe and his staff did unveil a new look for the offense, however. Duke came out early in the game in the triple option, moving into the red zone before the drive stalled. Cutcliffe didn’t rule out going back to that approach at times going forward to help make use of running backs Brown, Deon Jackson and Mataeo Durant, who lined up in the backfield on the triple option, with the other two on the ends.

While the threat of the triple option gives the Aggies something else to prepare for, Cutcliffe is busy fretting over the challenge that A&T presents.

“Their speed at running back, their speed at receiver,” he said,

“Defensively, systematically, they play so well,” he continued.

Young Wolfpack proved ready in opener NC State will face Western Carolina on Saturday with the opportunity to get more experience

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal RALEIGH — It’s still too early to make any meaningful judgments about the young NC State football team this season.

But you can already say this much for coach Dave Doeren’s Wolfpups after one game: They don’t suffer from stage fright.

No fewer than 17 players made their State debuts in their team’s 34-6 beatdown of East Carolina on Saturday, including 10 true freshmen and three redshirt freshmen. Many of them made meaningful contributions to the victory, providing hope that, despite massive graduation losses, the Wolfpack can continue to build on the momentum of the past two seasons with little or no drop-off.

“I was excited to see them play because enough of them have made electric plays in practice where you’re hoping that’s what will happen on game day,” said Doeren, whose team will get another chance to gain experience this Saturday at home against Western Carolina. “My fear was, is game day going to be too big for some of them? You just don’t know that.

“I was really proud of how they handled the moment. I thought those guys did a good job. I didn’t see anybody nervous. They probably were, but it wasn’t obvious.

They just went out there and did what they did in practice, which was outstanding.”

Heading the list of new starters that distinguished themselves the most was redshirt sophomore quarterback Matthew McKay. Not only did he become only the third quarterback in school history to record more than 300 passing yards in his college debut while contributing to the running game with a pair of rushing touchdowns, but he also showed the poise and leadership of a seasoned veteran.

And he did it without committing a turnover.

“The first play I went out there, I took a deep breath and said, ‘OK, we’re playing football.’ So

Zonovan “Bam” Knight was one of two true freshmen running backs to earn carries against East Carolina. In all, the Wolfpack played 10 true freshmen in the season opener.

I wasn’t nervous or anything,” said McKay, who saw only limited time on the field last season as a backup to NFL draft pick Ryan Finley. “I was definitely prepared for the moment.”

He wasn’t the only one.

On his offensive line, center Grant Gibson and tackle Emanuel McGirt anchored a unit that didn’t allow a sack and paved the way for an impressive ground attack that produced 191 yards and 6.2 yards per carry.

The two backs that did the most of that running were true freshmen — Zonovan “Bam” Knight and Jordan Houston.

Knight led the team with 42 yards on nine carries, including an electric 9-yard touchdown run on his first career carry. Houston rushed for 35 yards on six tries and also caught three passes out of the backfield.

Combined with sophomore Ricky Person Jr., a sophomore who rushed for 20 yards and set up a score with a 45-yard reception in his first Wolfpack start, the Wolfpack appears more than equipped to make up for the loss of 1,000-yard rusher Reggie Gallaspy.

“I didn’t see anybody nervous. They probably were, but it wasn’t obvious.”

Dave Doeren, NC State coach

The only question is whether Doeren can find enough touches to keep everyone happy.

“I guess it’s just a matter of who’s hot and with certain personnels, certain backs go in,” Houston said. “It’s not really like a certain rotation. He’s going to find a way to get us all touches. It really depends on how we do that week in practice.”

Although youngsters weren’t called upon to make as much of an impact in the receiving game against ECU thanks to the return of veterans Emeka Emezie, Thayer Thomas and C.J. Riley, along with the addition of graduate transfer Tabari Hines, their roles are likely to increase starting this

week against WCU now that Riley is out of the season with a torn ACL. Redshirt freshman Devin Carter has been moved into Riley’s starting spot at the X receiver with fellow rookie Jasiah Provillon now listed on the depth chart as the top reserve.

“We’ve got a lot of guys,” McKay said of his receiving corps. “It’s a deep group and they’re all talented, so I’m excited.”

He’s not the only one.

Maybe the player most excited about finally getting onto the field for the first time at State was linebacker Payton Wilson.

A redshirt freshman who missed part of his senior year at Orange High School with a knee injury, then missed all of last season after undergoing a second surgery on the same knee, the former four-star prospect was credited with six tackles on his 22 snaps in an emotional Wolfpack debut Saturday.

“Payton had tears in his eyes before the game, he was so excited to be playing football again,” Doeren said. “Just playing again, making plays. I’m excited for those guys.”

as I’ve seen. He’s been around the game a good while. They have a system on defense they believe in. The offense matches … the defense. Their kicking game is outstanding. I think he has done a tremendous job. This is a team that’s complete. I’m not just picking one part of it. This is a good, complete, really good football team.”

“It tells you there’s a lot to be concerned about,” Cutcliffe concluded.

PANTHERS from page B1 They do things the right way, and you hope the guys around them see that and learn from it.”

Even after cuts were made and the 53-man roster was set, the Panthers continued to maneuver. Carolina brought in Ray-Ray McCloud, who didn’t survive cuts in Buffalo. The Clemson product got into 10 games with the Bills last season and is now listed as the Panthers’ primary kickoff and punt returner.

The Bills and Panthers had a week of joint practices before a preseason game last month, but Rivera said the team’s interest in McCloud goes back farther than that.

“We saw some of the things he did coming into the league a year ago,” he said. “We knew a little about him and liked him coming into the draft, but we didn’t get the opportunity to get him here. …

We had him targeted, but Buffalo took him. You like to keep an eye on things like that.”

Rivera and GM Marty Hurney were impressed with McCloud’s tape from the entire preseason, not just what they saw in person.

“We saw the things he did through training camp and through the games he played,” Rivera said. “Not just what we saw in the joint practices but what we saw in his play. … We feel like he’s somebody who can come in and contribute. He could come in and give us a little bit of a jolt on special teams.”

So while the returnees like Luke Kuechly, Christian McCaffrey and Newton will share top billing with the high-profile newcomers, it’s some of the key decisions made at the other end of the roster that could end up determining the Panthers’ level of success.

North Carolina’s best make for a solid NFL team The NFL season is upon us, and there are plenty of players from North Carolina to root for from across the state. The NSJ Sports staff has assembled the All-N.C. NFL Team heading into the 2019 season, featuring players that went to colleges from the state, grew up in Tarheel State, or both.

AGGIES & EAGLES from page B1 The Aggies recorded five sacks and limited the opposition to just 19 yards rushing in the win against Elon. Among the individual leaders were sophomore linebacker Kiyn Howard (10 tackles), sophomore nose guard Jermaine McDaniel (eight tackles, three sacks) and senior defensive end Devin Harrell (two sacks).

Offensively, graduate student Carter graduated from career backup to confident starter while senior wide receiver Elijah Bell caught nine passes for 93 yards and a score that made him A&T’s all-time leader in receiving touchdowns.

“The formula will remain the same,” Washington said. “We will stop the run, offense will protect the ball, and we’ll win the kicking game.”

While the Aggies have developed a consistent system that works, their rivals at NC Central are still in the process of trying to figure things out during a period of transition.

Alumnus Trei Oliver is the Eagles’ third coach in as many years, taking over for Granville Eastman, who led the team last season on an interim basis. The former all-MEAC defensive back inherited 14 returning starters from a team that posted the program’s first losing record since 2013.

Hurricanes’ captain Justin Williams announced Monday he was stepping away from hockey to start the 2019-20 season, but the 18-year NHL veteran stopped short of announcing his retirement.

son-opening 41-10 loss at Austin Peay suggests that there’s still plenty of work to do.

“We have a lot of question marks,” Oliver said before the game. “I would like to see us put a disciplined, physical, competitive team on the field. There are so many unknowns coming into the season, I’d just like to see us improve week in and week out.”

That task got a little more difficult this week when one-time starting quarterback Chauncey Caldwell announced after the Austin Peay loss that he is entering the NCAA’s transfer portal.

Caldwell split time with Micah Zanders in the game and threw for NCCU’s only touchdown — a 35-yard pass to Nique Martin.

Williams, 37, is a free agent and has been weighing whether or not he would retire or return to the ice for a 19th season, a decision process that included playing a round of golf last Wednesday with recently retired former Hurricanes teammate Cam Ward and Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour.

“This is the first time in my life that I’ve felt unsure of my aspirations with regards to hockey,” Williams said in a press release from the team. “For as long as I can remember, my whole off-season until this point has been hockey and doing what was necessary to prepare for the upcoming season.

Because of my current indecision, and without the type of mental and physical commitment that I’m accustomed to having, I’ve decided to step away from the game.”

Williams was the catalyst for Carolina’s return to the playoffs after a nine-year absence, not only producing on the ice (23

goals and 30 assists while playing all 82 regular season games) but also providing leadership to a young roster that included many players that had never reached the postseason.

The three-time Stanley Cup winner won his first title in 2006 with the Hurricanes, often playing on a line with first-year captain Brind’Amour and scored a careerhigh 76 points. Williams was traded to Los Angeles in 2009 and won two more Cups with the Kings, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in 2013.

His clutch play earned him the nickname “Mr. Game 7,” a reputation that started during his time in Carolina and carried throughout his career. He assisted on Brock McGinn’s doubleovertime goal in Game 7 of the Hurricanes’ first-round series with the Washington Capitals last season that knocked out the defending Stanley Cup champions, one of four teams Williams has played for during his career.

“We appreciate Justin’s honesty and openness throughout this process, and respect his decision,” Hurricanes President and General Manager Don Waddell said in the release. “He’s been an important part of our team, but we did prepare our roster with the understanding that he might step away. We are confident in the group we’ve assembled.”

Carolina bolstered its forward corps this offseason with the addition of Erik Haula and Ryan Dzingel, and the team also expects 2017 first round pick Martin Necas

to be a significant contributor in 2019-20.

“It’s important to me that the focus of attention is on the current, very talented group the Carolina Hurricanes have assembled, as they prepare to build on the momentum and growth we established last season,” Williams said.

Williams’ desire not to be a distraction is true to his leadership style as captain. While the veteran was always in his stall to answer difficult questions or after a tough loss, he would usually shun the spotlight when a teammate was deserving of recognition.

With the Hurricanes set to have their annual media day on Wednesday, Williams’ decision will certainly be a focal point of players, staff and media. His indecision is likely to leave the team’s captaincy vacant for the time being, as it was following Eric Staal’s departure in February 2016. Jordan Staal, Eric’s brother, and Justin Faulk — both still with the Hurricanes and alternate captains last season — were named co-captains in 2017 under Bill Peters, but Brind’Amour gave Williams the captaincy before last season.

Williams, a native of Couberg, Ontario, who was a first round pick of the Flyers in 2000, has 312 goals and 474 assists for 786 points in 1,244 career games, but he’s best known for his playoff heroics. In 11 postseasons, Williams had 54 points (22 goals and 32 assists) in 73 career games, including four game-winning goals.

But where he really stood out was in winner-take-all games. In nine career Game 7s, Williams’ teams were 8-1 and the winger is tied with Glenn Anderson for the most goals in those games with seven. He also holds the mark for the most points in Game 7 matchups with 15. He scored the empty-net goal in Game 7 of the 2006 Stanley Cup Final to secure Carolina’s only Stanley Cup.

Online car buying facility coming to Concord Approved Logos

Carvana, a leading e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars, will locate a new inspection and reconditioning facility in Cabarrus County, creating more than 400 jobs. The company will invest more than $30 million in Concord over the coming years.

“The online marketplace only works for buyers and sellers when hardworking people are moving the supply chain forward. We know our quality workforce is a major reason why Carvana chose to grow and invest in our state,” said Governor Roy Cooper.

Carvana, headquartered in Tempe, Ariz., and known for its distinctive Car Vending Machines, champions a mission to change the way people buy cars. The company forgoes a traditional dealership infrastructure and instead has developed the technology to enable consumers to quickly and easily shop for used cars online. The company’s new project in North Carolina will create a facility to inspect, recondition, photograph and store cars to address the growing demand, nationwide.

“Carvana has been growing extremely rapidly over the last several years and we are working to bring ‘The New Way to Buy a Car’ to even more customers all the time,” said Carvana’s Director, Infrastructure Development & Operations, Benjamin Morens. “As part of our efforts to scale the business, we’re looking forward to working with Cabarrus County and the state of North Carolina to open a vehicle inspection and reconditioning center, and become a member of the Concord community.”

Prudential Financial program seeks North Carolina’s top youth volunteers of 2020 The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards will grant two N.C. honorees $1,000 scholarship and an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C.; Charlotte and Pineville students were North Carolina’s top youth volunteers of 2019

By Emily Roberson North State Journal RALEIGH — The Prudential Foundation is looking for North Carolina’s top youth volunteers of the year.

Students in grades 5-12 are invited to apply for 2020 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards if they have made meaningful contributions to their communities through volunteer service within the past 12 months.

The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, sponsored by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), was created in 1995 to recognize the exemplary volunteer work of middle level and high school students. Since then, Prudential Spirit of Community Awards have been given to more than 130,000 middle and high school students across the country at the local, state and national level.

“We’ve honored young people from three generations since this program began, and while the world has changed many times over, one thing has stayed the same: Young volunteers are doing remarkable, meaningful work to address the challenges facing their

communities,” said Charles Lowrey, chairman and CEO of Prudential Financial, Inc. “As we enter our 25th year, we remain inspired by these young people and their stories of service, and hope that they’ll inspire others to get involved, too.”

North Carolina’s top youth volunteers of 2019 were Simona Adhikari, 17, of Charlotte, who taught 24 girls in rural Nepal to make bracelets, and then sold them in the United States and United Kingdom to raise more than $6,000 for the girls and their small village, and Alexander Fultz, 14, of Pineville, who created a nonprofit organization that has donated thousands of toys and clothing items to hospitals in several states to brighten the days of hospitalized patients. Alexander also was named one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2019.

On February 4, 2020, the top middle level and high school volunteer from each state and the District of Columbia will be named State Honorees. They will receive $1,000 scholarships, engraved silver medallions and an all-expensepaid trip to Washington, D.C., with a parent or guardian for four days of recognition events from May 2-5, 2020.

In Washington, a distinguished national selection committee will name 10 of the 102 State Honorees as America’s top youth volunteers of the year. These National Honorees will receive additional $5,000 scholarships, gold medallions, crystal trophies for their nominating schools or organizations, and $5,000 grants from The Prudential Foundation for nonprofit charitable organizations of their choice.

Several Distinguished Finalists in each state will receive bronze medallions, and runners-up will

Annual Collard Festival Brings Art, Food, and Fun Eat your greens all weekend long at the Ayden Collard Festival. Even if the hearty vegetable isn’t your thing, rides, food vendors, line dancing, live music, and a parade make the annual event too good to miss.

Since 1975, the public power community of Ayden in Pitt County has hosted the popular festival named for this prolific local crop. A full week of fun kicked off August 30 with a free art show, which continues daily through Sunday, September 8. The festival gets into full swing Thursday, September 5 when rides and vendors open at 6 p.m. and the annual Miss Ayden pageant takes to the main stage. Friday brings more art and rides, as well as line dancers and a local rhythm-and-blues band.

If you have to pick one day to attend, Saturday is it! Along with more art, rides, and food vendors are opportunities for friendly competition: the corn hole tournament, the horseshoe tournament and, of course, the annual collard-eating contest.

These are all sideline attractions to the parade in the morning and performances by local talent— including Carolina Jump Rope Club and 10-foot-tall Cowboy Bob—in the evening.

Advocates showcase hemp at farm show as multi-use crop The Associated Press DECATUR, Ill. — The National Hemp Association showcased the versatility of hemp during the recent Farm Progress Show in central Illinois.

Representatives of the hemp association used the event that ran Tuesday through Thursday to demonstrate how hemp can be used in dietary supplements and body care products, but that it also has industrial applications, the Herald & Review in Decatur

reported.

Industrial uses for hemp include textiles, automotive, aviation and energy storage, building materials and paper, Geoff Whaling, chairman of the association, said.

Hemp provides an excellent natural alternative to cotton, which is the most widely used raw material for textile production, Whaling said. The automotive and aviation industries can use hemp bio-composites in multiple applications such as door

panels, window pillars, package trays, truck liners and luggage racks.

These bio-composites are cheaper and reduce fuel consumption when used in place of fiberglass composites, according to the National Hemp Association.

Cameron McIntosh was touting Hempcrete, a bio-composite material that he said is resistant to mold, mildew and pests and can be used for insulation. McIntosh is the president and prin-

cipal owner of Americhanvre, a hempcrete installation company.

“You’re trapping the carbon inside rather than creating more so this is more environmentally friendly,” McIntosh said. “It really improves the quality of life within the structure as well because it is managing the moisture and humidity.”

The 2018 Farm Bill permitted industrial hemp farming for the first time in the U.S., but Whaling said some people have been resistant to hemp as a crop be-

cause they struggle to differentiate between hemp and its close cousin, marijuana.

“Hemp is cannabis, but it is not marijuana. Marijuana has THC, whereas hemp does not,” he said.

Sam Kupferschmid, a 32-yearold Bloomington corn and soybean farmer, said he is considering growing hemp.

“As a grower in the market I like to come and check out what is the latest and greatest,” Kupferschmid said. “I’d like to get educated on (hemp) more.”

C2 Publix to donate $5 million to food banks Lakeland, Fla. Publix, the Florida-based grocery store chain, recently announced donations totaling $5 million being given to organizations across the Southeast in September.

“Millions of people in the Southeast — many of them children and seniors — may not know where they will find their next meal.

Together, we can help change that,” said Kelly Williams-Puccio, executive director of Publix Super Markets Charities. “We are proud to continue our commitment to feeding communities across the Southeast and offer dignity and nourishment to our neighbors in need,” she said. One in eight people across the country struggles with hunger, including more than 9 million in the Southeast, Publix executives said, citing federal data. The grocery store company is donating funds to food banks in Alabama, Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida.

Commission presses Duke Energy to retire coal plants Charlotte Duke Energy’s 15year energy plan has been approved, but the North Carolina Utilities Commission has asked the company to provide models for the early retirement of coal plants.

WFAE-FM reports the commission said last week the company’s 2018 Integrated Resource Plan was “adequate.” Duke Energy must update the plan by Sept. 1. Regulators want to know how the company will help meet state environmental goals. Gov. Roy Cooper’s Executive Order 80 calls for North Carolina to reduce carbon emissions 40% by 2025, from 2005 levels. Sierra Club Beyond Coal Campaign Regional Director Dave Rogers says consumers could save money if Duke Energy replaced coal plants with clean sources like solar power. Spokeswoman Meredith Archie says Duke Energy has already begun retiring coal plants and increasing its clean energy sources.

In escalating trade war with China, US consumers may see higher prices

By Christopher Rugaber The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — The United States and China on Sunday put in place their latest tariff increases on each other’s goods, potentially raising prices Americans pay for some clothes, shoes, sporting goods and other consumer items before the holiday shopping season.

President Donald Trump said U.S.-China trade talks were still on for September. “We’ll see what happens,” he told reporters as he returned to the White House from the Camp David presidential retreat. “But we can’t allow China to rip us off anymore as a country.”

The 15% U.S. taxes apply to about $112 billion of Chinese imports. All told, more than twothirds of the consumer goods the United States imports from China now face higher taxes. The administration had largely avoided hitting consumer items in its earlier rounds of tariff increases.

But with prices of many retail goods now likely to rise, the Trump administration’s move threatens the U.S. economy’s main driver: consumer spending. As businesses pull back on investment spending and exports slow in the face of weak global growth, American shoppers have been a key bright spot for the economy.

“We have got a great economy,” said Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa. “But I do think that the uncertainty caused by volatile tariff situation and this developing trade war could jeopardize that strength, and that growth, and that is, I think, that’s a legitimate concern,” he told ABC’s “This Week.”

As a result of Trump’s higher tariffs, many U.S. companies have warned that they will be forced to pass on to their customers the higher prices they will pay on Chinese imports. Some businesses, though, may decide in the end to absorb the higher costs rather than raise prices for their customers.

In China, authorities began charging higher duties on American imports at midday Sunday, according to employees who answered the phone at customs offices in Beijing and the southern port of Guangzhou. They declined to give their names.

Tariffs of 10% and 5% apply to items ranging from frozen sweet corn and pork liver to marble and bicycle tires, the government announced earlier.

After Sunday’s move, 87% of textiles and clothing the United States buys from China and 52%

With cloudy skies in Washington, President Donald Trump speaks to the media as he returns to the White House from Camp David, Sunday, Sept. 1, 2019, in Washington. of shoes will be subject to import taxes.

On Dec. 15, the Trump administration is scheduled to impose a second round of 15% tariffs — this time on roughly $160 billion of imports. If those duties take effect, virtually all goods imported from China will be covered.

The Chinese government has released a list of American imports targeted for penalties on Dec. 15 if the U.S. tariff hikes take effect. In total, Beijing says Sunday’s penalties and the planned December increases will apply to $75 billion of American goods.

Washington and Beijing are locked in a war over U.S. complaints that China steals U.S. trade secrets and unfairly subsidizes its own companies in its drive to develop global competitors in such high-tech industries as artificial intelligence and electric cars.

“I give the president credit for challenging China on some of its really egregious behavior” on intellectual property and technology transfers, for example, Toomey said. He said he hopes that’s what Trump’s focus is, “not just the fact that Chinese clothing and shoes are popular among consumers.

That’s not the problem.”

If China changes its behavior “in a meaningful way in that area ... then we will have ended up in a better place. That’s what I’m hoping for. But let’s be honest. In the meantime, we’re doing damage.

It’s a double-edged sword,” he said.

To try to force Beijing to reform its trade practices, the Trump ad-

ministration has imposed import taxes on billions of dollars’ worth of Chinese imports, and China has retaliated with tariffs on U.S. exports.

“It’s a good thing taking on China. Unfortunately, he’s done it the wrong way,” said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said on “Fox News Sunday.”

“To take on China there has to be a multilateral approach. One country can’t take on China to try to dry up its overcapacity because they just send it through to you in other ways,” he said.

Trump has insisted that China itself pays the tariffs. But in fact, economic research has concluded that the costs of the duties fall on U.S. businesses and consumers.

Trump had indirectly acknowledged the tariffs’ impact by delaying some of the duties until Dec. 15, after holiday goods are already on store shelves.

A study by J.P. Morgan found that Trump’s tariffs will cost the average U.S. household $1,000 a year. That study was done before Trump raised the Sept. 1 and Dec. 15 tariffs to 15% from 10%.

The president has also announced that existing 25% tariffs on a separate group of $250 billion of Chinese imports will increase to 30% on Oct. 1.

That cost could weaken an already slowing U.S. economy.

Though consumer spending grew last quarter at its fastest pace in five years, the overall economy expanded at just a modest 2% annual rate, down from a 3.1% rate in the

first three months of the year.

The economy is widely expected to slow further in the months ahead as income growth slows, businesses delay expansions and higher prices from tariffs depress consumer spending. Companies have already reduced investment spending, and exports have dropped against a backdrop of slower global growth.

Americans have already turned more pessimistic. The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index, released Friday, fell by the most since December 2012.

“The data indicate that the erosion of consumer confidence due to tariff policies is now well underway,” said Richard Curtin, who oversees the index.

Some retailers may eat the cost of the tariffs. Target confirmed to The Associated Press that it warned suppliers that it won’t accept cost increases arising from the China tariffs. But many smaller retailers won’t have the bargaining power to make such demands and will pass the costs to customers.

Philip Levy, chief economist at the San Francisco freight company Flexport who was an adviser in President George W. Bush administration, said it’s hard to say for sure when the latest tariffs may hit U.S. customers in the form of higher prices.

But, he added, “If you had to pick a time to do it, this is the worst possible time” because it’s when the bulk of holiday goods are brought into the country.

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki display an agreement they signed in Warsaw, Poland, Monday, Sept.

2, 2019.

Kroger eyes a new kind of high-tech shopping experience Gainesville, Ga. One of the South’s largest grocery store chains is eyeing a future that could involve hand-held scanners and fewer cashiers. The new method of shopping has been in place this summer at a Kroger store in Gainesville, Georgia.

The system allows shoppers to go around the store and scan items as they put them in their cart, rather than in the checkout line.

“It’s just another option,” said Judy Walden, one of the managers at the Gainesville store where the technology is being used. “I think it was created just to give people another option.”

Customers bring their own bags or use the store’s, then pick up a scanner from a stand at the front of the store. For typical items on the shelves, they pick up the item, point the scanner at the barcode and press the scan button.

Kroger’s new process came after Amazon’s Amazon Go store, which allows customers to shop without ever talking to another person or standing in a line. Sensors are used to detect what customers take off shelves. The system automatically sends a bill for the items not replaced.

US and Poland sign agreement to cooperate on 5G technology The Associated Press WARSAW, Poland — The U.S. and Poland signed an agreement Monday to cooperate on new 5G technology as concerns grow about Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei.

Vice President Mike Pence and Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki signed the deal in Warsaw, where Pence is filling in for President Donald Trump, who scrapped his trip at the last minute because of Hurricane Dorian.

The signing comes during a global battle between the U.S. and Huawei, the world’s biggest

maker of network infrastructure equipment, over network security and fears of Chinese access.

The U.S.-Poland agreement states: “Protecting these next generation communications networks from disruption or manipulation and ensuring the privacy and individual liberties of the citizens of the United States, Poland, and other countries is of vital importance.” Both countries pledged to endorse the principles developed by cybersecurity officials from dozens of countries at a summit in Prague this year to counter threats and ensure the safety of the next generation of

mobile networks.

Pence, speaking at a news conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda, said he hoped the declaration would set a “vital example for the rest of Europe on the broader question of 5G.” The U.S. has been lobbying allies to ban Huawei from 5G networks over concerns the Chinese government could force the company to give it access to data for cyberespionage. Huawei has denied the allegation and states in Europe — where countries are gearing up to deploy the new networks, starting with the auction of radio frequencies this year — have balked at U.S. calls for an outright ban.

Pence’s chief staff, Marc Short, cited Huawei by name in a statement later Monday that called on other nations to “ensure that only trusted providers have access to their developing networks.”

“We recognize 5G networks will only be as strong as their weakest link,” he said, adding, “We must stand together to pre-

vent the Chinese Communist Party from using subsidiaries like Huawei to gather intelligence while supporting China’s military and state security services - with our technology.”

At the news conference, Duda was asked whether the U.S. had ever provided Poland with evidence of Chinese spying using Huawei technology.

He didn’t mention the U.S. in his answer, but said, “Indeed, Poland’s counterintelligence has detected activity that could be of espionage nature” and that prosecutors are investigating.

A Chinese businessman who served as Huawei’s sales director in Poland and a Pole who cooperated with the government on security measures were arrested in Poland in January on suspicion of espionage.

During a visit to Sweden last week, Morawiecki said work was being done to have Swedish networking and telecommunications company Ericsson invest in 5G development in Poland.
