Wayne Democrats seek to organize Wake County Superior Court Judge Vince Rozier tells local party officials Democrats need to focus on the ground game.

News-Argus/CASEY MOZINGO

Kyree Williams, a member of Impact Teens and student at Eastern Wayne High School, speaks during the March for Our Lives Rally at Mina Weil Park Saturday. The rally was organized by Impact Teens, Operation Unite Goldsboro and Wayne County Strong to provide a time for youths and adults alike to share their opinions on school safety and gun laws with each other.

Thousands of people across the country, including in Wayne County, heed the call of the student-survivors of the Feb. 14 Parkland, Florida, high school mass shooting to organize marches in protest of what they say is the NRA-backed lobbyist support for preventing “common sense” gun control laws from being enacted. Locally, students and community members come together for the national event dubbed ‘March for Our Lives.’

With Democratic candidates running for election in every congressional district statewide, the members of the Wayne County Democratic Party were in high spirits Saturday during its annual convention at the Wayne County Courthouse.

That is no justification to let up, however, guest speaker and Wake County Superior Court Judge Vince Rozier said.

“We have shared experience that the Democratic Party is the best political vehicle for Guest speaker attaining our goals Judge Vince Rozier, of justice Wayne County Superior Court and equality judge, addresses those gathered in for all people,” courtroom one of he said. the Wayne County Courthouse for the “On annual Democratic occaConvention. sions News-Argus/ like this, CASEY MOZINGO we have the opportunity to get organized for what’s best to enact change for our party, but sometimes at these conventions we get bogged down in parliamentary procedure and don’t discuss how to be proactive in making progress.”

Rozier said that Democrats should keep their eyes on the end goals of providing a free and just society, and remember to always question and evaluate the official positions of the party. He said that it is a focus on people, not the abstract values ascribed to a political party, which will help Democrats be successful.

Demonstrators cheer during a "March for Our Lives" protest for gun legislation and school safety Saturday. Students and activists across the country planned events Saturday in conjunction with a Washington march spearheaded by teens from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., where over a dozen people were killed in February.

Hundreds of thousands gather in D.C. to protest The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Summoned to action by student survivors of the Florida school shooting, hundreds of thousands of teenagers and their supporters rallied in the nation’s capital and cities across America on Saturday to press for gun control in one of the biggest youth protests since the Vietnam era.

“If you listen real close, you can hear the people in power shaking,” David Hogg, a survivor who has emerged as one of the student leaders of the movement, told the roaring crowd of demonstrators at the March See MARCHERS, Page 2A

Wayne County students and adults joined millions around the country in protesting gun violence and calling for tighter gun legislation Saturday during a “March for Our Lives” rally at W.A. Foster Park.

Packed together under a park shelter, the group of several dozen people listened as Wayne County Strong leader Bobby Jones called the adults in the crowd up first.

He led them in a repeat-after-me speech praising the kids who had come to the rally.

“We. Support. You,” they said in unison.

The first such student to take the microphone was Impact Teens Goldsboro co-founder and Eastern Wayne High senior Ja’Shawn Faire. He said that he and others at the school were not confident in their safety, due to resource restrictions and the layout of their school’s campus.

“We have one school resource officer, and our campus is really wide open,” he said. “If there’s a shooter in east campus and the SRO is in central, that shooter could have 10 bodies by the time the officer can even run over there.”

Kyrie Williams, another EWHS

student and member of Impact Teens, called on students to help each other feel included.

Keith Copeland, with the Goldsboro NAACP, was one of the few adults to spend much time speaking to the crowd. A mental health professional, Copeland said that the narrative that mental health reform would solve gun violence is misguided.

“It’s a very small percentage, we’re talking 5 percent of people who are mentally ill are violent,” he said.

Instead, Copeland said, the solution is simple –– stricter gun laws which ban the sale of semiautomatic rifles.

“Some people say they use those rifles for sport. Those weapons were not made for sport,” he said.

“Those weapons were made for one thing and one thing only, and that is war.”

After Copeland’s speech, the gathered students split up into groups to discuss their thoughts on gun violence. One such group included Eastern Wayne seniors Feronte Webb and Martha Alyea, and Wayne Country Day School junior Grace O’Daniel and seventh-grader Daniel Sharp.

Each had their own reasons for attending.

He warned: “We will get rid of these public servants who only care about the gun lobby.”

Chanting “Vote them out!” and bearing signs reading “We Are the Change,” “No More Silence” and “Keep NRA Money Out of Politics,” the protesters packed Pennsylvania Avenue between the Capitol and the White House.

Large rallies with crowds estimated in the tens of thousands in some cases also unfolded in such cities as Boston; New York; Los Angeles; Chicago; Houston; Fort Worth, Texas; Minneapolis; and Parkland, Florida, the site of the Feb. 14 attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 people dead.

Protesters denounced the National Rifle Association and its allies and complained that they are scared of getting shot in school and tired of inaction by grown-ups after one mass shooting after another.

They called for such measures as a ban on high-capacity magazines and assault-type rifles like the one used by the Florida killer, tighter background checks and school security, and a raising of the age to buy guns.

“I’m really tired of being afraid at school,” said Maya McEntyre, a 15-year-old high school freshman from Northville, Michigan, who joined a march by thousands in Detroit. “When I come to school, I don’t want to have to look for the nearest exit.”

She added: “I want to get to the problem before it gets to me.”

In Atlanta, Ben Stewart, a 17year-old senior at Shiloh Hills Christian School in Kennesaw, Georgia, took part in a march in Atlanta to press for what he called “common-sense gun laws.”

“People have been dying since 1999 in Columbine and nothing has changed. People are still dying,” Stewart said. “It could be prevented.”

those things,” he said.

To that end, Stein’s office worked with the N.C. General Assembly to draft the Strengthen Opioid Misuse Prevention Act, which set limits on the quantity of opioid which doctors can prescribe for various kinds of injuries.

Safe Kids Wayne County, which is the local chapter of Safe Kids NC, partners with local law enforcement to make sure the drugs are safely taken care of. The Wayne County Sheriff’s Department Annex at 1916 U.S. 117 Alt. has a box where community members can dispose of excess medication at any time, said Sheriff Larry Pierce.

Pierce said that it is fairly common to see children, knowingly or not, get their hands on their parents’ excess medication and end up getting themselves or other people hooked on them. He urged people to get rid of their medication as soon as it either expires or they no longer need it, for the sake of their own loved ones and the people in their community.

The Goldsboro Police Department does not typically accept excess medication, but plays a substantial role in Operation Medicine Drop, said GPD Cpl. Marissa Davis.

“We’re here more for security,” she said. “After we collect the medication, we’ll take it back and store it at the Goldsboro Police Department until May 1. After that, we’ll take it to the SBI lab in Greenville, where they will incinerate it.”

Continued from 1A tions started up, the program had already collected around 100,000 units of medication, whether that be in individual pills or single doses of liquid medicine, said Safe Kids Wayne County coordinator Shelly Willis.

“The goal is to bring awareness to people getting rid of the medication they don’t need,” she said. “Kids could get a hold of them and not know what they’re doing, because a lot of medicines look like candy.”

Stein’s visit to Goldsboro capped off a week of visiting other medicine drop events in Asheville, Charlotte, High Point and Raleigh. He said that taking a comprehensive approach combining treatment and prevention vital to combating the nationwide opioid epidemic, the impact of which has been acutely felt in Wayne County.

“We need to do a lot more with treatment, because there are tens of thousands of people who are addicted to the painkillers and to heroin, and we need to help those people get healthy,” he said. “We’re not doing a good job in that regard here in the United States at all.”

Stein said that the end goal of getting opioids out of people’s homes is to help them avoid getting on the wrong track.

“Everybody just wants to live a life where they make decisions and work and have a family and relationships, and when you’re in addiction, it’s very hard to do any of

Alyea had originally intended to travel to Raleigh, to join the thousands marching there.

When she heard there would be an event taking place at home, she was surprised.

“When I saw that there was going to be a rally here, I was like ‘wow, this is actually happening, people do actually care,’” she said.

Having grown up in a world where mass shootings have become all the more common, Alyea said her focus on the issue had become sharper in the last few years.

Goldsboro city council discusses board diversity during retreat Councilmen Williams and Foster push for more inclusive processes in appointing applicants to city boards.

By ROCHELLE MOORE rmoore@newsargus.com

Members of the Goldsboro City Council took the first step in selecting members to its boards and commissions Thursday but not without some disagreement.

The council, which reviewed the names of 70 applicants to eight advisory boards, selected a handful of new members, which will be formally approved at the next council meeting.

The number of applicants has mounted during the past several months as the council has talked — on and off — about changes to the boards and need for more diversity.

Members for city commissions and committees are typically selected in November and December, with terms starting in January, said Scott Stevens, city manager.

Earlier this year, the council made changes to its council-appointed boards, including setting threeyear terms for all positions, merging the Community Affairs and Community Development boards into a new Commission on Community Relations and eliminating the Appearance Commission.

During the council’s annual retreat Thursday, at the Goldsboro Event Center, Councilman Antonio Williams asked to hold off Historic District Commission appointments after saying the applicants may not offer diversity on the board.

Councilman Gene Aycock said the application form does not include any information that identifies a person’s race.

“I don’t know the race of either one of them and, really, it doesn’t matter,” Aycock said. “Maybe some of you think it does, but it does not.”

Williams said, in some cases, the race of an appli-

cant is important.

“We need to make certain that we have these boards where they have individuals from all different perspectives on these boards,” Williams said.

Aycock said it would be difficult to ensure diversity on city boards and commissions without knowing more about a person’s background.

Councilman Bevan Foster said the city could start interviewing applicants, instead of just reviewing the applications on paper.

“Somehow we have to have an interview process ...,” Foster said. “To get to the point where these boards are diverse, we have to start making some changes in that direction.”

Aycock asked how the council would know it is not already selecting members that offer diversity.

“How can you do something not knowing?” Foster said. “Simple question.”

“Because I don’t look at race — you do,” Aycock said.

Mayor Chuck Allen said the council can review the applications to determine if they meet board requirements to serve.

The council selected the following members to its committees, commissions and boards: • Commission on Community Relations: Tara Humphries and Elvira Johnson, with one vacancy remaining.

• Goldsboro Municipal Golf Course Committee: Gina Price.

• Goldsboro Historic District Commission: Joshua Johnson and Cortnee Hendrick.

• Goldsboro Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission: John Falkenstein, Danielle Baptiste and Linda Farmer.

• Mayor’s Committee for Persons with Disabilities: Janet Baber, Dee Tripp, Stephen Taylor, Michelle Casarez, Evelyn Paul, Edna Turner and Sabrina Shivar.

• Goldsboro Planning Commission: Anthony Slater.

• Goldsboro Tourism Council: Eddie Edwards.

Rozier cautioned Democratic leaders away from catering to political extremes, and urged them to eschew political talking points in favor of dealing with the local

issues right in front of them. A tendency to shell up in political ideologies has created a culture of “us versus them” in America, he said, which stymies efforts to work together.

! SMALL BUSINESS FAIR

Prayers for a sunny day panned out for the members and supporters of United Church Ministries Saturday, as the group held its 35th annual Walk for Hunger fundraiser.

Held every year since 1986, the walk/run supports UCM’s ability to help those in the community afford basic necessities, said UCM director Lisa Lamm.

“We help with rent, electricity bills, buying medicine, that kind of thing,” she said. “The runners and walkers go out and get sponsorships and donations, and we’ve had as many as 150 to 200 people in the past.”

This year’s turnout was not that substantial, with a few dozen people gathered together at the gazebo in Herman Park. The run has traditionally been on a Sunday, but was moved to Saturday this year to allow people more time to get there, said organizers Ray Boyette and Fred Crosby.

Crosby said that around 45 area churches had donated to UCM, having collected offerings from their congregations and then sent in checks for the total amount. To receive aid from UCM, people have to qualify, and cannot rely

“You can’t, say, have your electric bill paid one month and then come back the next month and get it paid again, it doesn’t work like that,” he said.

Among the walkers was a group made up of Melissa Hall, Jeff Rose, Jackson Rose, Fred Clark, Lou Rose and William Rose. Clark, the pastor at First Christian Church, had been coming to the walk for over two decades, he said.

Lou Rose said she had been coming to the run with her family for five or six years. This year was the first time they had brought along the family dogs, Miles and Snickers.

“I think it’s just something we’ve gotten used to doing every year,” she said with a smile.

Soon, the group was off.

The Rose family stayed together near the rear, everyone walking together –– with one notable exception.

That would be Snickers, who caught a ride in Lou’s arms.

But, any avid sports fan will by now have heard their radio or television show host of choice say something to the effect of, “now is the time when the more consistent teams, the blue bloods pull away.”

They figure, which might be true, we want to see the madness early but we love to see the topranked teams in the Final Four and in the championship.

Perhaps. But given the state of politics and popular culture in the country these days, the degraded game of football and the fact that baseball season still isn’t quite here yet, we appreciate the distraction all the more.

If sports is a metaphor for life, or in this case politics, then the frenetic pace of the NCAA Tournament which only lasts a few weeks and is designed to separate the weak from the strong in head-to-head matchups where there are no second chances, that can mean only one thing.

The commissioner of the league that governs the sport of professional politics has expanded the tournament to a yearlong, agonizing, gutwrenching, hair-pulling teeth-grinding free for all where no winner is crowned. There are no champions and there is no off season.

America is the non-interested spouse in the other room, shouting “are you still watching that same fricking game?”

And we are the fan, too glued to the tube to respond, gorged on chips and beer and clutching the remote with a needless white-knuckle grip waiting for the moment of greatness and hoping it ends in our favor. But it doesn’t end. There is another game tomorrow and another one after that.

Meanwhile we keep showing up to work late, stains on our shirt and whispering to our co-workers or sneaking peeks at Twitter and Facebook, sating, “Man, did you see what just happened?”

Carolina politics offers national lessons RALEIGH — If you are a political junkie, you follow closely the daily ins and outs of elections and legislation. I do, too. Let’s step back for a second, take a breath, and consider the phenomenal events of the past decade.

A first-term U.S. senator from Illinois with a challenging name became the first African-American president. The Republicans, seemingly down and out after the 2006 and 2008 cycles, took over Congress and became the dominant party in state capitals for the first time since the 1920s. Next, a political outsider with a mixture of unorthodox views and impolitic behavior won the presidency, albeit with a smaller share of the nationwide vote than the losing GOP candidate received in 2012.

Fascinating. Improbable. Weird. Take your pick of colorful adjectives and they’ll all fit. But in retrospect, at least, these developments aren’t entirely inexplicable. They reflect measurable changes in political coalitions and voter sentiment. And North Carolina is a good place to observe and interpret them.

According to 2017 surveys by the Gallup Organization, North Carolina is one of the closest states to the national median in political preference. On one measure, the net lean to the Democrats or Republicans, we are one of only six states (along with Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia, Maine and Colorado) to be within two percentage points of the median. On another measure, approval of President Trump’s job performance, North Carolina is one of eight states (including Delaware, Oregon, Colorado, Minnesota, Virginia, Texas and Michigan) within two points of the national median.

Here’s another interesting finding: Gallup asked Americans to describe their overall political views as conservative, moderate, or liberal. Across the nation, an average of 36 percent said they were moderates. Precisely the same share described their views as moderate in nine states — including, you guessed it, North Carolina.

Our recent elections have featured closely fought contests for governor, U.S. senator and North Carolina’s 15 electoral votes for president. While favorable district maps for Congress and the General Assembly — partly a result of linedrawing, partly a consequence of Democratic voters living disproportionately in urban counties — have produced significant Republican advantages in elected lawmakers, the statewide gap

in party preference isn’t large.

(North Carolinians with short memories or short residencies in the state should know that during the previous JOHN decade, GOP legislative repeatedly HOOD candidates matched or exceeded the Democrats in votes statewide but never held a majority of seats in either chamber. There’s nothing new about skewed district maps, in other words, which is not to say we shouldn’t do something about it.)

Here’s a less-familiar but telling statistic: Republicans now control 55 of the state’s 100 county commissions. Just a decade ago, they controlled only 36.

To a significant extent, North Carolina’s political changes mirror the national story. So, what can we learn about the latter from the experience of the former?

Investment matters. North Carolina went from a mostly Democratic state to a highly competitive state in part because of patient and savvy investment by Republicans in candidates, other political talent and organizations. Both political coalitions have vastly more resources at their disposal than before, and exhibit more sophistication in how they deploy those resources.

Demographic shifts matter. Generations ago, many conservative-leaning voters — be they in our state or in many other now-competitive ones in the South and Midwest — were registered Democrats and often split their tickets, voting Republican for president and sometimes other federal offices while voting Democratic down the ballot. In other states, liberal-leaning Republicans did the reverse.

Their children and grandchildren, however, re-sorted themselves according to their political views rather than regional histories or family traditions.

Because there were more conservative Democrats than liberal Republicans, the net result was a boost for the GOP brand (in voter preference, I mean — don’t be distracted by the less-important trend toward registering unaffiliated, since most independents vote reliably as R’s or D’s).

When North Carolina stops being politically competitive, and starts leaning consistently to one side, you can expect the nation to follow.

Highlight in History: On March 25, 1965, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. led 25,000 people to the Alabama state capitol in Montgomery after a five-day march from Selma to protest the denial of voting rights to blacks. Later that day, civil rights activist Viola Liuzzo, a white Detroit homemaker, was shot and killed

by Ku Klux Klansmen.

On this date: In 1634, English colonists sent by Lord Baltimore arrived in present-day Maryland.

In 1776, Gen. George Washington, commander of the Continental Army, was awarded the first Congressional Gold Medal by the Continental Congress.

In 1911, 146 people, mostly young female immigrants, were killed when fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Co. in New York.

In 1931, in the socalled “Scottsboro Boys” case, nine young black men were taken off a train in Alabama, accused of raping two white women; after years of convictions, death sentences and imprisonment, the nine were eventually vindicated.

In 1947, a coal-dust explosion inside the Centralia Coal Co. Mine No. 5 in Washington County, Illinois, claimed 111 lives; 31 men survived.

In 1975, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia was shot to death by a nephew with a history of mental illness. (The nephew was beheaded in June 1975.)

Ten years ago: The Pentagon said it had mistakenly shipped electrical fuses for an intercontinental ballistic missile to Taiwan in fall 2006. (When the error was recently discovered, the military quickly recovered the four fuses.)

Five years ago: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Afghan President Hamid Karzai made a show of unusual unity between their two nations in Kabul as the U.S. military ceded control of its last detention facility in Afghanistan, ending a long-standing irritant in relations.

One year ago: A man sitting at the back of a public bus on the Las Vegas Strip opened fire for what authorities called “no apparent reason” as passengers got off at a stop in the heart of the tourism corridor; one man was killed. (A judge later declared the suspect unfit to face trial.)

Right off the bat let me warn you that the opening segment of this column is scientifically deep.

Even a “sharp” cellular-infused intellect such as mine had a hard time digesting its significance.

But, then, I know I’m writing for a well-educated audience.

Right after you ponder that opening, it’ll be my pleasure to introduce you to Dr. Ray Gavin’s amazing family.

Sherwood Owl Williford Pauline, Mabel, and Geraldine graduated from Elizabeth City State and became school teachers. Willette graduated from A&T, and became, first a teacher, and then a home demonstration agent in Union County. She now lives in New Jersey.

Bertha Lee attended the Lincoln School of Nursing in Durham, a segregated institution, and spent her life serving others as a nurse in that city.

Sometime after retirement she came back home to care for two ailing sisters, putting her nursing skills to work again for as long as they lived.

John Edward was the only sibling not to graduate from college and lived most of his life in Hartford, Connecticut. Ray Howard graduated first from Howard University before receiving advanced degrees at Iowa and Wisconsin.

In 1929, father William and his small family moved into a new home at 624 Poplar Street. The builder was Amos Artis, Goldsboro’s first black architect. Someone once asked William, “Why are you building such a big house?” “So I can fill it up,” he said. And “fill it up” he did, not quitting until the household was teeming with eight young’uns.

First it was five girls straight before tagging on three boys at the end.

And did William and Sarah’s family go forward in fulfilling Hugh Victor Brown’s admonition? “It is my hope,” he wrote, “that the events chronicled herein (the yearbook) are indicative of the future service you may render to your fellow man.”

My mind says the Gavin family filled Mr. Brown’s hopes to the hilt.

I like to think I’m a pretty good judge of character, and somewhere in the conversation with Bertha and Charles I asked whether the whole family had the same happy countenance and congenial nature that emanated from each of them.

They assured me that my assumption was correct.

It has been my pleasure to share brief insights into the Gavin family and especially the one referred to by siblings as “the smart one,” Professor Ray Gavin.

I have detailed in four columns what an African-American boy with spunk, vision and determination can go on to accomplish. I trust you will share his legacy with one, or several, of today’s aspiring youth, especially to those who do not have the same “traditional” family core values as did the Gavins.

One eternal truth still holds, “With God, there is no respecter of persons.”

Many area churches, businesses, and organizations have been contacted this month as leaders from St. Andrew’s Episcopal, St. Francis Episcopal, and Impact Teens have solicited their support to sponsor a visit to Goldsboro by the founder of World Without Hate, Rais Bhuiyan.

After September 11, 2001, Bhuiyan was shot in the face in an act of vengeance for the deaths of 9/11; he forgave his shooter, Mark Stroman, who had killed two other people and was eventually executed despite Bhuiyan’s pleas for life imprisonment.

Because Bhuiyan is a Muslim from Bangladesh who came to the U.S. to further his education, I wanted to know more about his faith. I found an article I wrote in 2010 that compared and contrasted the Koran with the Bible. The article then was relevant to a Wayne County Reads book, “Three Cups of Tea,” but it remains important today to know ways these religions are similar and different.

For that study, I read most of The Qur’án or Koran and Michael Sells’ “Approaching the Qur’án: The Early Revelations,” an introduction to and translation of the sacred scripture of Islam, the text for more than one-fourth or fifth of humanity.

A web search yielded a comparison chart Matt Slick, president and founder of the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry, created that examines the two doctrines — Islam and Christianity — from the ways each religion regards the following: the afterlife, angels, atonement, the Bible, the Koran, heaven, hell, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the devil, original sin, resurrection, the trinity, and salvation.

Islam is a major world religion, one of the youngest religions, founded by Mohammed around 610 when he heard the voice of the angel Gabriel.

Born around 570 in Mecca, Mohammed married a woman 15 years older than he when he was 25. He had rejected the growing polytheism of Arabian paganism, often retiring to a cave in the mountains to pray and meditate in solitude. Awakened from sleep by Gabriel’s urging to “Recite,” Mohammed came to see himself as the messenger God appointed to confirm the old scriptures which Christians had corrupted by worshipping Christ as the son of God, contrary to God’s command to “worship only Him.” According to N.J. Dawood in his introduction to his translation of The Koran, the Koranic revelations were first committed to memory and then written on palm-leaves, stones, and any material at hand. The compilation of the verses was completed during the reign of Omar, the second Caliph, and an official version of the Koran was established during the reign of Othman (644-56), Omar’s successor.

Several drawbacks beset the work in that variant readings are possible because the kufic (Arabic) script of the original writings had no vowels or diacritical marks; also, the work has no chronology as an organizing principle. Scholars have given chapter headings in some translations, but mid-chapter, other topics may intrude that have no seeming relevance to the chapter title. For example, I consulted the chapter headed “Women,” assuming that’s where I would find Allah’s words about women’s roles. True, the first pages address property rights for women and orphans, the gifting of a dowry to women, the right of women to inherit from their parents and kinsmen, the punishment for women accused of fornication, and the conditions for divorce.

The remainder of the chapter concerns Allah’s authority, the rewards for the faithful who fight for the cause of Allah, and the punishments for unbelievers. The role of Jesus is explained in this way: “The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, was no more than Allah’s apostle and His Word which he cast to Mary: a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His apostles and do not say: ‘Three.’ Allah is but one god. Allah forbid that He should have a son!

Allah is the all-sufficient protector.”

Barbara Ann Kipfer’s “The Order of Things: How Everything in the World Is Organized into Hierarchies, Structures, and Pecking Orders,” lists the Five Pillars of Islam: 1.) profession of faith to Allah and Mohammed as his prophet; 2.) prayer, five times a day at dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and nighttime, facing Mecca; 3.) Zakat, or almsgiving, the donation of a portion of one’s wealth to the needy; 4.) fasting, between dawn and dusk during Ramadan, a month in the lunar-based Islamic calendar; and 5.) The Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca once in one’s lifetime.

Christians cannot help noticing that several of these tenets distinguish their faith, among them prayer (though not an allotted number of times throughout the day) and the giving of one’s assets to the poor. Some people observe a form of fasting during these days in Lent, or at least a denial of a treat — whether chocolate, wine, Facebook, or meat.

Some believers accept a sixth pillar of faith, jihad, defined as the duty of waging “holy wars” to spread Islam. And this last tenet is the most ambivalent for Americans still grieving from the events of September 11, 2001. In their book, “In the Name of God: Understanding the Mindset of Terrorism,” Timothy Demy and Gary P. Stewart use the Department of Defense definition of terrorism: “The unlawful use of — or threatened use of — force or violence against individuals or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives.”

Demy and Stewart see terrorism-tied-to-religion on the rise, noting that nearly one-fourth of all terrorist groups worldwide are motivated chiefly by religious concerns. The danger arises when people interpret Allah’s word for their own ends to thwart efforts to educate people to other truths.

Next week will see a continuation of the similarities and differences in the Koran and the Bible, the chief being that for Muslims, the Koran is the final revelation of God to all people given through Gabriel to Muhammad over 23 years. Allah guards the Koran from error. Christians, however, believe the Koran is not inspired and not scripture. They question the verification for accuracy from the originals.

Note: Next week, more differences and likenesses

National briefs Federal heating aid program saved

A federal heating aid program for low-income residents has survived another attempt by President Donald Trump to kill it.

The $1.3 trillion spending bill signed by Trump on Friday includes $3.64 billion for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

The energy assistance funding includes an extra $250 million, the first increase in five years.

“It’s amazing, isn’t it?” said Mark Wolfe, director of the National Energy Assistance Directors’ Association in Washington, D.C. “Not only did Congress reject the president’s proposal but they increased our funding.

This will significantly help poor people.”

It was the second time Trump tried to kill the program. He contends it’s unnecessary and rife with fraud, but program supporters say he’s wrong on both counts.

All told, the program has served about 6 million households in recent years, and the extra funding is enough to serve another 500,000 households, Wolfe said.

In addition to helping people stay warm, the program helps people stay cool in the blazing summer heat of states like Florida and Arizona.

Biden says nation in battle for its soul

NEW HAVEN, Conn.

— Former Vice President Joe Biden, still grieving the loss of his son to cancer and unsure whether he’ll run for president in 2020, said Friday that America is in a battle for the nation’s soul.

The Democrat spoke before more than 1,500 people at Southern Connecticut State University, hours after he was in Maryland to accept the Naval Academy Alumni Association’s Distinguished Graduate Award on behalf of Republican Sen. John McCain.

McCain is battling glioblastoma, the same aggressive brain cancer Biden’s son, Beau, died from in 2015.

“He’s a very close friend of mine, and a political opponent, and he’s in tough shape and he asked me to go to Annapolis and speak for him,” Biden said. “He’s my friend. So of course I went.”

The New Haven Register reported that Biden talked of being a young senator, the current political climate and losing family members to death during his talk, moderated by Lucy Nalpathanchil of WNPR, Connecticut Public Radio.

He said only time would tell if he runs for president in 2020. But Biden — who has traded harsh fighting words with President Donald Trump over who would come out on top in a hypothetical fistfight — said the U.S. can’t afford eight years of the current Republican administration.

“We’re in a battle for the soul of this nation,” he said.

President signs $1.3 trillion spending bill After threatening to veto, Trump says he had ‘no choice but to fund our military.’

The Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump grudgingly signed a $1.3 trillion federal spending measure Friday and averted a midnight government shutdown — but only after undercutting his own negotiators and setting off a mini-panic with a last-minute veto threat.

The episode further eroded the already damaged credibility of both the president and a White House staff that had assured the nation he was onboard.

Trump said he was “very disappointed” in the package, in part because it did not fully pay for his planned border wall with Mexico and did not extend protection from deportation to some 700,000 “Dreamer” immigrants due to lose coverage under a program the president himself has moved to eliminate.

But Trump praised the bill’s provisions to increase military spending and said he had “no choice but to fund our military.”

“My highest duty is to keep America safe,” he said.

The bill signing came a few hours after Trump created his latest round of last-minute drama by tweeting that he was “considering” a veto.

With Congress already on recess, and a government shutdown looming, he said that young immigrants now protected in the U.S. under Barack Obama’s Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals program “have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded.”

Trump’s veto threat put him at odds with top members of his administration and Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, who had said publicly that Ryan Trump supported the bill. Advisers inside and outside the White House said they never expected Trump to go through with his threat and believed he was likely just blowing off steam.

Finally, in made-for-TV scheduling, Trump took to Twitter again to announce he’d be holding a news conference to talk

Highlights of the spending package •$700 billion for defense, $61 billion over the last year, biggest annual defense boost in 15 years. Increases for weapons procurement including 14 Navy ships, bolstering missile defenses. Funds 2.4 percent pay raise for troops.

•$591 billion for domestic programs. Almost $5 billion to battle abuse of opioid drugs, $3 billion more than last year. National Institutes of Health get $37 billion, up $3 billion from 2017. More money for road building, rural water projects, the FBI, NASA, the IRS. Provides $4 million for anti-harrassment training for lawmakers and congressional aides.

•$1.57 billion for President Donald Trump to begin building his wall with Mexico, and to generally bolster border security.

•Holds the Environmental Protection Administration to last year’s $8 billion. Rejects Trump effort to cut spending for cleaning up Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, other areas.

•$380 million to improve election security.

•Prods federal agencies, states to send records to the federal background check system for gun buyers that they’re already supposed to provide.

•Fixes mistake in GOP tax bill giving tax advantage to farmers selling to cooperatives instead of to other about the bill. The drama was short-lived: An aide told reporters the signing was on.

And it was a monologue by Trump, not a news conference.

He answered two questions called out to him as he left the room.

Asked why he’d made the threat, Trump said he’d “looked very seriously at the veto,” but “because of the incredible gains that we’ve been able to make for the military that overrode any of our thinking.”

He warned Congress, “I will never sign another bill like this again.”

The giant spending bill, though, expires Sept. 30, and another funding measure will be needed. To boost the party-inpower’s ability to muscle its agenda through Congress, he called for an overhaul of Senate rules to allow for simple-majority votes on all bills and appealed to Congress for line-item veto power to kill specific spending items he disagrees with. The Supreme Court ruled in 1998 that a congressionally passed line-item veto was unconstitutional.

The will-he, won’t-he episode came hours after the Senate’s early morning passage of the huge spending package aimed at keeping the government open past Friday midnight.

by media coverage of the bill and by conservative Republican lawmakers, some of whom had been calling to harangue him and making their cases loudly on cable news shows he is known to watch.

Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., chairman of the House Freedom Caucus and a friend of the president, said in a tweet that the group would “fully support” a veto, adding that Congress should pass a short-term budget resolution while Trump and congressional leaders “negotiate a better deal for the forgotten men and women of America.”

Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., also egged Trump on to a veto.

“Please do, Mr. President,” he tweeted. “I am just down the street and will bring you a pen.

The spending levels without any offsets are grotesque, throwing all of our children under the bus. Totally irresponsible.”

Trump’s decision to ultimately sign the bill came after a call from Speaker Ryan. At around 9:30 a.m. Friday, Ryan encouraged the president to sign the bill, according to a person familiar with the communication, and discussed all the wins it delivered, especially for the military. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private conversation.

It was the second time Ryan had been forced to intervene last week. On Wednesday, the speaker made a surprise trip to the White House, with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell joining in by phone, to try to keep Trump in accord.

A White House official that day denied that Trump was consid-

ering vetoing the package, and Ryan emerged from the huddle saying Trump would support the bill.

The veto threat pushed to the forefront concerns over Trump and his staffers’ eroding credibility. The spending bill had been negotiated by Trump’s own aides — with sign-off from the boss on every major decision.

The surprise threat also threatened to undermine future efforts by White House staff tasked with negotiating on Trump’s behalf.

“We don’t have a stable, reliable partner with whom we can work in the White House,” said Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va. He added that no deal can be deemed secure until Trump “puts his signature on it.”

“It has consequences going forward,” he added. “Who wants to trust a comprehensive immigration deal and put a lot of time and effort into it, only to see it at the eleventh hour derailed because, I don’t know, he turns on Fox News and somebody criticizes it?”

Trump’s decision to ultimately sign the bill averted what would have been the third federal shutdown of the year, an outcome both parties wanted to avoid.

The omnibus spending bill, which will fund the government through September, beefs up military and domestic programs, delivering federal funds to every corner of the country.

But the plan was rejected by many Republicans who campaigned on spending restraints and balanced budgets.

FBI seeks motive for fiery van crash at California air base Authorities say Hafiz Kazi, who died, had no known links to terrorism.

The Associated Press ROSEVILLE, Calif. — Investigators are working around the clock as they struggle to determine why a man with no apparent ties to terrorism drove a flaming minivan full of propane tanks and gasoline cans through the main gate of a major Northern California Air Force Base last week.

Hafiz Kazi, 51, died in the Kia minivan Wednesday night after veering through the gate at Travis Air Force Base and crashing, FBI agent Sean Ragan said Friday.

Kazi had no known links to terrorism, did not

leave behind a manifesto or any threats or explanation, and a video found on a cellphone provided no clue.

“Why did this individual end up at the front gate of Travis Air Base on fire and now deceased? We don’t have the answers to that,” Ragan said. “We’ve got a significant amount of investigators assigned to it night and day since this occurred.... They will continue at it until we get those answers.”

Investigators know of no one else associated with the incident nor any threats to air base or the community.

Air Force gate personnel initially thought they were dealing with a vehicle accident when Kazi crashed and they realized he was on fire. No shots were fired as he entered

pened,” Ragan said. “Now the question is why. Why was he there? What led him there? And we don’t know the answers to that, quite frankly. So the investigation that we’re doing right now is trying to piece together his life, trying to piece together what led up to this event, and attempt to determine why he was there and why he had those items in his vehicle ... They will continue at it until we get the answers.”

Ragan said they have been unable to find any of Kazi’s family living in the United States. A family member in India has been notified of Kazi’s death, Ragan said. He said Kazi appeared to work as a cab driver in

the past, but that investigators haven’t determined if he was currently employed. It’s not clear if he owned the minivan.

“We don’t have any evidence of any religious affiliation or anything at this point,” Ragan said.

“As of right now, we know of no other associates.”

Investigators have interviewed some of Kazi’s acquaintances and are working on some search warrants, he said.

They also are scouring social media, so far without result.

Calls to several numbers associated with Kazi were not returned Friday.

About 10,000 people live and work on the base 55 miles northeast of San Francisco.

Trump bans most transgender people from military service

Joint Chiefs chair sees signs of progress in Afghanistan war

The Justice Department says it will ask the courts to lift all related preliminary injunctions.

Dunford says deployment of 800 new Army trainers ‘will serve as an accelerant to the Afghans being able to achieve momentum.’

The Associated Press PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump released an order Friday night banning most transgender troops from serving in the military except under “limited circumstances,” following up on his calls last year to ban transgender individuals from serving.

The White House said retaining troops with a history or diagnosis of “gender dysphoria” — those who may require substantial medical treatment — “presents considerable risk to military effectiveness and lethality.”

Trump surprised the Pentagon’s leadership in a 2017 tweet when he declared he would reverse an Obama-era plan to allow transgender individuals to serve openly.

His push for the ban has been blocked by several legal challenges, and four federal courts have ruled against the ban.

The Pentagon responded by allowing those serving to stay in the military, and began allowing transgender individuals to enlist beginning Jan. 1.

“This new policy will enable the military to apply well-established mental and physical health standards — including those regarding the use of medical drugs — equally to all individuals who want to join and fight for the best military force the world has ever seen,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday.

The new policy was promptly assailed by congressional Democrats and civil rights groups. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi tweeted, “No one with the strength & bravery to serve in the U.S. military should be turned away because of who they are.

This hateful ban is purposebuilt to humiliate our brave transgender members of the military who serve with honor & dignity.”

The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBT civil rights organization, accused the Trump administration of pushing “anti-transgender prejudices onto the military.”

“There is simply no way to spin it, the Trump-Pence Administration is going all in on its discriminatory, unconstitutional and despicable ban on transgender troops,” said HRC President Chad Griffin.

Joshua Block, a senior staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union LGBT & HIV Project, said the policy “effectively coerces transgender people who wish to serve into choosing between their humanity and their country, and makes it clear that transgender service members are not welcome.”

Trump received recommendations from Defense Secretary Jim Mattis in February for dealing with transgender individuals serving in the military. The White House said Mattis and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen agreed with the policy.

Earlier Friday, Maj. David Eastburn, a Pentagon spokesman, said the announcement of a new policy would have no immediate practical effect on the military because the Pentagon is obliged to continue to recruit and retain transgender people in accordance with current law.

The Justice Department said in a statement late Friday that it would defend the Pentagon’s authority to “implement personnel policies they have determined are necessary to best defend our nation” and would ask the courts to lift all related preliminary injunctions.

The issue has become mired in a complicated string of political statements, court decisions and policy reviews since Trump first stunned his administra-

It’s unclear how much impact the court decisions will have on Trump’s decision. Activist groups had worried the administration could enact such strict enlistment and health care restrictions that it would become all but impossible for transgender troops to join or continue serving.

Under guidelines presented in December, the Pentagon could disqualify potential recruits with gender dysphoria, those with a history of medical treatments associated with gender transition and those who underwent reconstruction.

Such recruits could be allowed in if a medical provider certified they’ve been clinically stable in the preferred sex for 18 months and are free of significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas.

Transgender individuals receiving hormone therapy must be stable on their medication for 18 months.

The requirements make it challenging for a transgender recruit to pass. But they mirror conditions laid out by President Barack Obama’s administration in 2016, when the Pentagon initially lifted its ban on transgender troops serving openly in the military.

Army Corps faces questions about vetting of border wall company The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. — Federal officials are saying little about how they chose a Nebraska startup to build an $11 million section of border wall in California, including whether they knew of the company’s connections to a construction firm flagged in a government audit for “many potential fraud indicators.”

The top Democrat on the House Committee on National Security is seeking answers from the Department of Homeland Security on what vetting was used last year to select SWF Constructors of Omaha for the job. The com-

pany, founded last year with only one employee, is an offshoot of Edgewood, New Yorkbased Coastal Environmental Group, which has been repeatedly sued for underpaying or failing to pay subcontractors.

“It seems DHS has awarded a contract to a brand new company with questionable connections and without the proper prior performance,” Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson said in a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. “In the rush to build President (Donald) Trump’s wall, a portion of it may be built by a company with a history of mismanaging

and wasting taxpayer funds.”

Thompson’s office said it had not received a reply to its request by Friday.

A wall along the MexicoU.S. border was a central promise of Trump’s campaign.

The contract with SWF is for just a fraction of the larger project, about 2 miles of poststyle barriers at the border at Calexico, California.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Fort Worth, which bid the border wall project and hired SWF, said in written responses to questions from the AP that “performance and relevant experience were considered in making the selection.”

TACTICAL BASE GAMBERI, Afghanistan — In fits and starts, for nearly a decade, the U.S. has talked about and struggled to make progress on building an Afghan military that can take control of its own nation’s security and lay the groundwork for a stable government.

This time, they think they have it right.

After five days criss-crossing Afghanistan, meeting with everyone from the Afghan president to the new American trainers on the ground, Gen. Joseph Dunford headed home Friday with a palpable sense of optimism.

Just months after the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan declared the war against the Taliban and other insurgents a stalemate, Dunford — chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — said he can see the makings of a shift.

“What we’re already starting to see is, I think, momentum is going to favor the Afghan forces,” Dunford told the small group of reporters traveling with him, adding that the deployment of 800 new Army trainers “will serve as an accelerant to the Afghans being able to achieve momentum.”

One thing that gave him hope was a recent Afghan military operation in the east, where the Taliban have long been strong.

It delivered, in his words, a “eureka” moment.

Dubbed Saleb 1-23, the Afghan military operation was launched in mid-February in a move to oust the Taliban from a critical 10-kilometer stretch of valley in Laghman Province.

Taliban fighters have used that area as a transit route across the border with Pakistan, where they enjoy safe havens.

U.S. Army Maj. Marc Pfrogner, the operations adviser for the Afghans’ 201st Corps, said the complex mission took 50 days to plan. He said it lasted until March 9, and got fiercer as the Afghans moved up Sangar Valley.

Four Afghan forces died in the fight, and 30 Taliban were killed.

But what impressed the Americans was the coordinated battle the Afghans waged, using their own intelligence, gathered in part from the Scan Eagle drone they got last September.

With guidance from their American advisers, Afghan commandos launched the initial assaults, supported by Afghan aircraft. The Afghan National Army forces followed, clearing the area, and National Police units moved in to hold the ground, enabling local political leaders to retake the government.

U.S. surveillance and strike aircraft provided support, but American military commanders said much of that was invisible to the local people, who saw the

Afghan forces as their liberators.

The coordination between the intelligence collection, the fighting forces and the police, said Dunford, is what the U.S. has been waiting to see.

“If you want to talk about what right looks like — from the Afghan security force and the government rolling in behind it — that operation was about textbook,” said Dunford. “I’m trying to restrain my enthusiasm here, but I’m having trouble, because that is the most positive observation that I’ve had over the last two days.

You’re kinda like, eureka!”

Tempering that optimism, however, are the steep challenges ahead — from government corruption and political infighting to regional diplomatic tensions and struggles to build a consistent, enduring military. Too often in recent years, U.S. officials have seized on a glimmer of hope, only to watch the Taliban regroup and surge again, taking back territory and fueling its fight with the profitable poppy harvest.

That is all compounded by the persistent turmoil with Pakistan, which U.S. officials complain has still not done enough to eliminate Taliban safe havens and control the traffic of militants back and forth across the border.

Military leaders and commanders know well the risks of a backslide, so the next several months will be critical as they watch for the progress they believe is possible. And they know that success will depend on more than battlefield victories.

“The military effort is necessary but not sufficient to get us to reconciliation,” said Gen. John Nicholson, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, referring to the renewed campaign to get Taliban fighters to the peace table. “There’s a significant political component and diplomatic component.”

He and others agree, however, that battlefield wins are key ways to pressure insurgents to surrender. And he said the influx in recent months of several thousand U.S. troops and trainers, additional strike aircraft and drones is helping the Afghans go on the offensive.

Trump pauses looming metal tariffs for close U.S. allies Lighthizer tells senators exempted countries are in various stages of trade talks with the U.S. The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The European Union, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, South Korea, Canada and Mexico will get initial exemptions from looming steel and aluminum tariffs from the Trump administration.

President Donald Trump authorized the exemptions late Thursday night.

Trump is planning to impose tariffs of 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent on aluminum — trade penalties aimed at China for flooding the world with cheap steel and aluminum.

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer told the Senate Finance Committee that the exempted countries are involved in various stages of trade talks with the U.S., and that Trump decided “to pause” the tariffs for them.

The U.S. is in consultations with Canada and

Mexico in an effort to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Trump moved on a separate trade front earlier Thursday, paving the way for tariffs on China as punishment for what he said is the theft of American technology. He told reporters that the threat of the steel and aluminum tariffs was already having an impact.

“Many countries are calling to negotiate better trade deals because they don’t want to have to pay the steel and aluminum tariffs,” Trump said.

Lighthizer identified the countries initially exempted from the steel and aluminum tariffs in response to a question from Sen. Ron Wyden, DOre., who said lawmakers wanted more consultation from the administration on trade.

“There are countries with whom we’re negotiating, and then the question becomes the obvious one that you think, as a matter of business, how does this work?”

Lighthizer said. “So what he has decided to do is to pause the imposition of the tariffs with respect to those countries.”

Vice premier says Trump’s order violates international trade rules.

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer testifies on trade policy Wednesday before the House Ways and Means Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington. congressional testimony, Germany’s economy minister, Peter Altmaier, said he had found officials in Washington “open to our arguments” during a recent visit with the EU trade commissioner, Cecilia Malmstrom.

Altmaier told Germany’s parliament “it is a question of fundamental significance: whether we all stand for open and fair world markets in the future.”

Trump campaigned on promises to bring down America’s trade deficit, which stood at $566 billion last year, by rewriting trade agreements and cracking down on what he called abusive commercial practices by U.S. trading partners.

But Trump was slow to turn rhetoric to action. In January, he imposed tariffs on imported solar panels and washing machines.

Then he announced the steel and aluminum tariffs, saying reliance on imported

metals jeopardizes U.S. national security.

Lighthizer said the nation’s trade deficit indicates that the global rules on trade sometimes make it hard for U.S. companies to export.

The administration “is seeking to build a better, fairer system of global markets that will lead to higher living standards for all Americans,” Lighthizer said.

GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the committee chairman, said he was “deeply disappointed in the decision to impose global tariffs to address a problem caused by China.”

Meanwhile, Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, said he was troubled to hear that South Korea would be initially exempted from the steel and aluminum tariffs.

“I was not expecting that,” Brown said. “Korea has unfairly dumped steel and other products in our country.”

The Associated Press BEIJING — China’s newly appointed economic czar told U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Saturday that Beijing is ready to defend its interests after President Donald Trump announced plans to slap tariffs on nearly $50 billion in Chinese imports.

Vice Premier Liu He told Mnuchin in a phone call that the order Trump signed Liu Thursday violates international trade rules, China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported.

The White House says the planned tariffs are aimed at punishing Beijing for allegedly stealing American technology and pressuring U.S. companies to hand it over.

Xinhua cited Liu as saying that China is “ready and capable of defending its national interest and hopes both sides will remain rational.”

China said Friday that it planned to raise tariffs on a $3 billion list of U.S. goods, including pork, apples and steel pipes in response to the steel and aluminum duties earlier announced by Trump.

The Chinese move appeared to be a warning shot aimed at increasing domestic U.S. pressure on Trump by making clear which exporters, including farm areas that voted for the president in 2016,

might be hurt.

On Friday, American farmers from hog producers in Iowa to apple growers in Washington state and winemakers in California expressed deep disappointment over being put in the middle of a potential trade war with China by the president many of them helped elect.

China’s Commerce Ministry said Beijing was considering a tariff increase of 25 percent on pork and aluminum scrap, mirroring Trump’s 25 percent charge on steel. A second list of goods, including wine, apples, ethanol and stainless steel pipe, would be charged 15 percent, mirroring Trump’s tariff hike on aluminum.

Overall, the nation’s farmers shipped nearly $20 billion of goods to China in 2017. The American pork industry sent $1.1 billion in products, making China the No. 3 market for U.S. pork.

“No one wins in these tit-for-tat trade disputes, least of all the farmers and the consumers,” said National Pork Producers Council President Jim Heimerl, a pig farmer from Johnstown, Ohio.

The U.S. has complained for years about China’s sharp-elbowed trading practices, accusing it of pirating trade secrets, manipulating its currency, forcing foreign companies to hand over technology, and flooding world markets with cheap steel and aluminum that drive down prices and put U.S. manufacturers out of business.

The spiraling trade dispute between the world’s two largest economies has spurred concerns among companies and investors that global commerce could be depressed.

became one of the first retail category killers — big stores that are so devoted to one thing, and have such an impressive selection, that they drive smaller competitors out of business.

Lazarus, the son of a bicycle store owner, modeled his business after the self-service supermarkets that were becoming popular in the 1950s, stacking merchandise high to give shoppers the feeling it had an infinite number of toys.

The chain has its roots in Children’s Bargain Town, the baby furniture store that Lazarus opened 1948 in his hometown of Washington, D.C. He began selling toys after a couple of years when customers began asking for them, and he quickly concluded that, in the baby-boom years, toys were a more lucrative business than furniture.

The Associated Press ATLANTA — As Georgia’s governor, Zell Miller successfully championed selling lottery tickets to fund scholarships in a Bible belt state and lost a fight to change the Confederate-themed state flag. As a U.S. senator, he enraged fellow Democrats with a primetime convention speech endorsing the re-election of President George W. Bush.

Time and again, Miller proved himself a stubbornly independent Southern DemocMiller rat during a political career that spanned four decades. Miller died Friday at age 86 in the same mountain home where he was raised by a widowed mother who built their house with rocks pulled from a stream.

“He had an independent streak that was governed by what he thought was right,” said U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, a Georgia Republican who befriended Miller after a bitter political rivalry. “We need more people like him.”

Miller served as Geor-

gia’s governor from 1991 to 1999. He came out of retirement in 2000 at age 68 to fill the final four years of a U.S. Senate term. Miller had retreated from public view in the past year after his family revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He died at his home in Young Harris surrounded by three generations of family, grandson Bryan Miller said.

“We were able to spend the last 24 hours of his life with him and I can tell you that he died peacefully, comfortably surrounded by his family,” Bryan Miller said.

Miller was considered one of the state’s most successful and popular modern chief executives, compiling a progressive record in education and tax policy.

His signature accomplishment was the HOPE scholarship, which paid college tuition for Georgia students maintaining a “B” average and was funded by establishing a state lottery.

His political career wasn’t without regrets.

Miller failed in 1964 to unseat a popular north Georgia congressman and later said he was ashamed of that race. At the time he voiced opposition to the Civil Rights Act and denounced President Lyndon Johnson as

Guilford County sheriff’s spokesman Randy Powers said a series of unusual events led to 31-year-old Carl “Preston” Davis stealing the car Thursday night.

Powers says a deputy arrested Davis on a second-degree kidnapping charge, handcuffed his hands behind him and put him in the front seat because the spare patrol car he was using had no divider.

Powers says the officer then had to respond to a breaking-and-entering call because he was the only deputy in the area.

Powers told media outlets when the deputy left the car, Davis slipped his handcuffed hands in front of him and drove off. He hasn’t been found.

“a Southerner who has sold his birthright for a mess of dark pottage.”

He wrote later, “I only hope that the totality of my forty-year record since then is proof that they were the words of someone who at that time was a political weakling, but not a racist.”

Miller worked a succession of state political jobs before winning the governorship in 1990 at age 58.

He ignited a firestorm in 1993 with an unsuccessful attempt to remove the fighting banner of the Confederacy from the state flag.

With Atlanta due to host the summer Olympics in 1996, the business community wanted Georgia to remove a symbol associated with segregation.

But many whites, and most legislators, opposed the idea.

In a stirring address,

Miller told lawmakers it was time to jettison the old Confederate insignia added to the flag in 1956 “to identify Georgia with the dark side of the Confederacy — the desire to deprive some Americans of the equal rights that are the birthright of all.”

But he couldn’t muster the votes and ultimately abandoned the effort.

When Miller left office in January 1999, his public life looked at an end.

Then Republican Sen. Paul Coverdell died in July 2000. Miller was appointed to replace him.

But he never switched parties.

“I was born a Democrat. It’s not simply a party affiliation,” he once wrote.

“It’s more like a birthmark for me and many of my fellow mountaineers ... I would no more think of changing parties than I would think of changing my name.”

Fremont woman lands Miss Greensboro crown 2017 Miss Spivey’s Corner and 2012 Miss Daffodil Karen Stallings will compete in the Miss North Carolina pageant for a second time after earning a new crown.

By PHYLLIS MOORE pmoore@newsargus.com When Karen Stallings walked off the stage after competing in the Miss North Carolina pageant in June 2017, she could not have imagined she would get to return one year later.

After all, there was a cutoff age of 24 for competing.

But then the Miss America organization raised the age to 25, setting in motion the Fremont native’s efforts to participate in the scholarship pageant.

Last weekend she was crowned Miss Greensboro 2018, allowing her to advance to the state contest this spring.

The 24-year-old was Miss Spivey’s Corner 2017 but her involvement in the pageant circuit dates back even further.

In 2012, she was Miss Daffodil in her hometown.

A 2011 graduate of Charles B. Aycock High School, she received a bachelor’s degree in applied sociology from East Carolina University

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT:

Winter Arctic sea ice again grew far less than normal The Associated Press WASHINGTON — U.S. government scientists say ice covering the Arctic ocean reached its second lowest extent on record this winter.

For most of the winter, sea ice in the Arctic was at record lows, but cold March winds helped the ice expand just beyond the low set in 2017.

Scientists from National Snow and Ice Data Center

said Friday Arctic sea ice peaked at 5.59 million square miles. That’s 448,000 square miles below normal.

The last four years have seen the lowest sea ice maximums since satellite tracking began in 1979.

Arctic sea ice helps moderate global climate.

Some studies connect its loss to more extreme weather further south, including winter storms like those that have smacked North America and Europe in recent weeks.

NASA’s Curiosity marks 2,000th day on Mars The Associated Press CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity has now marked 2,000 days on the red planet.

That’s 2,000 days by

Martian standards. A Martian sol, or solar day, is equivalent to 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds. So 2,000 days on Mars equal 2,055 days here on Earth.

Either way, it’s a big

milestone this week for scientists eager for Curiosity to begin drilling again, this time into potentially clay-rich rocks on the slopes of Mount Sharp.

The six-wheeled rover has traveled 11.6 miles since

its arrival in 2012.

The rover Opportunity, though, has Curiosity beat.

Last month, NASA’s busy Opportunity surpassed its 5,000 day on Mars. It’s been exploring Mars since 2004.

NATIONAL NEWS IN BRIEF Feds: Man threatened congressman

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Authorities say a Virginia man has threatened to shoot his local congressman.

Federal prosecutors said in a news release Friday that 69-year-old Wallace Grove Godwin made a threatening statement to staff at U.S. Rep. Scott Taylor’s Virginia Beach office Thursday.

Authorities said Godwin became frustrated during a discussion about marijuana policy.

Godwin allegedly mentioned the Republican congressman’s upcoming event Saturday and said he was “going to get my shotgun and do something about this.”

Authorities say Godwin has a concealed weapon permit and had previously engaged in aggressive interactions with Taylor and his staff.

Godwin faces a charge of threatening to murder and assault a United States official. It carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.

Andrew Grindrod, a public defender representing Godwin, declined to comment.

Army: Barricade at Maryland post ended with man found dead

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — Army officials say a man who barricaded himself inside a home on a U.S. Army installation was found dead after a 17-hour standoff.

The Baltimore Sun reports the barricade situation that began around 8 a.m. Thursday ended when Aberdeen Proving Ground emergency officials and support agencies entered the home around 1 a.m. Friday. The newspaper cites a release from the installation identifying the man as a soldier assigned to Kirk U.S. Army Health Clinic at Aberdeen.

His name has not been released.

The man was alone in the home when a concerned relative reported he’d locked himself inside. People living on streets surrounding the home spent the night elsewhere as a precautionary measure.

Small quakes shake parts of Oklahoma

MEDFORD, Oklahoma — Two small earthquakes have shaken parts of northern Oklahoma.

The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude 3.0 earthquake was recorded at about 3:20 a.m. Saturday about 8 miles south-southeast of Medford in Grant County. That’s about 120 miles north of Oklahoma City. It was recorded at a depth of about 1 mile.

An earlier 2.8 magnitude earthquake was recorded at 2:06 a.m. about 8 miles northeast of Enid, or about 33 miles south-southwest of Medford.

No damage or injuries were reported. Geologists say damage isn’t likely in earthquakes below magnitude 4.0.

Thousands of earthquakes have been recorded in Oklahoma and surrounding states in recent years, with many linked to the underground injection of wastewater from oil and natural gas production.

KU, Duke meet with Final Four berth at stake ■ Blueblood programs have met in the Big Dance on five previous occasions.

The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. — In a tournament defined by unpredictability, there will finally be a regional final that makes sense.

No. 1 Kansas and No. 2 Duke will square off in the Midwest final Sunday for the last spot in the Final Four — and the stakes are huge even by Elite Eight standards.

Mike Krzyzewski is looking to break UCLA legend John Wooden’s record of 12 Final Four appearances.

Kansas coach Bill Self, who recently joined Krzyzewski and Wooden in the Naismith Hall of Fame, is hoping to snap a two-year losing streak in regional finals and a 2-7 personal record in Elite Eights.

After scores of upsets produced some rather strange matchups elsewhere, it’ll be “Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk” vs. Coach K and the Blue Devils in a classic finale in Omaha.

“It’s great when you have two programs of this nature, this status in the history of our game play for a Final Four berth. I think it’s great for the sport,” Krzyzewski said.

As for the latest chapter in the Kansas-Duke

series, the top-seeded Jayhawks (30-7) are more like a plucky underdog — at least by their high standards — while second-seeded Duke (29-7) and its cadre of ridiculously talented freshmen appear to be rounding into title-contending form. Duke is a betting favorite in the game even though it is the lower seed.

The Jayhawks have clawed their way into their third straight regional final as a No. 1 behind teamwork and a toughness that wasn’t always there in the winter.

Their last two wins, over Seton Hall and Clemson, came by just 4 points apiece — but Kansas has won six straight postseason games after tearing through the Big 12 Tournament.

“It’ll be a tough game. But it’s going to be a fun game,” Self said. “We know we’ve got our hands full.

But we like to think they have their hands full too.”

Duke cruised through to the Sweet 16, but then had to survive a furious challenge from ACC rival Syracuse and its bewildering 2-3 zone on Friday night. The young Blue Devils have flourished under the leadership of senior captain Grayson Allen, who is 12-2 in the NCAA Tournament.

“We’re both here for a reason. It’ll be a good one,” Duke star Marvin Bagley III said.

Here are some of the story lines to look out for

Have game, will travel: Trojans torch Franklin Springs ■ UMO scores 25 runs in Friday twinbill versus league outfit Emmanuel.

UMO Media Relations FRANKLIN SPRINGS, Ga. — The University of Mount Olive baseball team took the first two installments of its weekend series with Conference Carolinas foe Emmanuel on Friday in lopsided fashion.

That’s where Ashford steps in.

“We are all looking for somebody at a certain age to take authority and to kind of believe in you,” he said.

“Just like I had a parent who called me today and she said her son couldn’t come because he had messed up in school. So I told her to tell him that’s messed up. He disappointed Coach, I need him here,” Ashford finished the thought.

Over the last five years, through a dedicated sponsor and a partnership forged with the city’s Parks and Rec department, Ashford has seen his pupils go on to graduate high school and either struggle to find work, grind out an education through college or head off to the military.

Each option, despite any set backs, beat the alternative, he said.

“I went the street route because of boredom, not having something to do.”

Boxing is what turned Ashford away from the streets, and if not for a shoul-

■ Could reach No. 1 in world rankings with semifinal berth.

Justin Thomas won two matches Saturday to reach the semifinals of the Dell Technologies Match Play.

One more and he gets to No. 1 in the world.

Thomas made quick work of Si Woo Kim in the morning, and then trailed for the first time all week against Kyle Stanley — just not for long.

Thomas won three straight holes to start the back nine, made a 6-foot par putt to stay in control and closed out Stanley, 2-and-1.

Dustin Johnson didn’t win a match this week and will not get any world ranking points. That means Thomas only has to reach the championship match Sunday to become the seventh American to reach No. 1.

In his way was Bubba Watson, who is back to playing like a two-time Masters champion.

“It will and would be a great accomplishment,” Thomas said. “But I’m just worried about trying to beat Bubba Watson tomorrow.”

Watson made all the key putts in a battle of Georgia southpaws when he beat Brian Harman in the morning, and then he turned a tight match into a runaway against Kiradech

Aphibarnrat by winning five of six holes on the back nine for a 5-and-3 victory.

That put Watson, who won last month at Riviera, in the semifinals for the first time since his Match Play debut in 2011.

Alex Noren extended his run at Austin Country Club by winning for the ninth time in his last 10 matches.

His only loss was to Johnson a year ago in the quarterfinals, and he needed only 31 holes to beat Patrick Reed and Cameron Smith of Australia.

Noren and Thomas are the only semifinalists who have not lost a match this week.

Kevin Kisner reached the semifinals with a big putt and a big blowout. He made a birdie on the 18th hole to beat Matt Kuchar, and then matched the shortest match of the week with an 8-and-6 victory over Ian Poulter. der injury that still nags him today, he might have had a nice career.

Instead he came home to offer kids from the same streets that raised him an alternative they might not have otherwise.

“So, if you ever find somewhere to go and its affordable to go, and you can go every day, I mean, why not?”

Ashford knows not every person who walks through his door is going to be genuinely interested in boxing. Certainly not all of them are going to become Silver Gloves champions, Golden Gloves champions or professional fighters.

But they will gain something, he said.

They will learn that anything in life you want to obtain, you’re going to have to work for.

He prepares them for that using the only tool he has –– a love of boxing.

“Whatever God has blessed me with to rub off on others...” he said, searching for the words to describe how he influences his students.

“That’s what happens to us in life, influence. I got into this because I was influenced by somebody else. So far, my kids have been doing good. They get out of school and maybe after a couple of months they can’t find a job. Or they try college and it doesn’t work for them, but after a couple of months they get a job,” he said.

Opportunity, though, costs money.

Ashford started his gym in 2012, in a vacant garage with no electricity.

After meeting local attorney Billy Strickland at a community meeting intended to identify ways to mentor kids away from the draws of the street culture that surrounds them, Strickland, Ashford said, offered to help.

At first, weary of people who come and go, who talk a good game but don’t deliver, Strickland only provided Ashford with a fan to keep the gym cool in

For all the talk about the young stars on each team, each squad is run by a star senior guard coming off a soso game. Devonte’ Graham, the Big 12 player of the year for Kansas, shot just 4 of 12 from the field in an 80-76 victory over Clemson, and Allen was just 3 of 14 on 3s in a 69-65 win over the Orange.

But both Krzyzewski and Self expect their veteran stars to bounce back.

“He’s the best intangibles guy we’ve ever had here,” Self said of Graham.

Hicks Continued from 1B the moment he stepped in the ring.

Then his training and his confidence in himself settled in.

“The nerves just left. It was just go time then,” he said.

His opponent surprised him. He was bigger. He was stronger. He was skilled.

“For me to go in there and beat him, then I kind of new, like, OK. All the hard work I’ve been putting in was worth it.”

Fast forward a year, Hicks is a two-

MB3 vs. Doke

It’s a good thing that Kansas sophomore big man Udoka Azubuike is fully healthy after a strained knee ligament kept him out of the Big 12 Tournament, because Bagley promises to be a handful. Bagley had 22 points and seven rebounds against Syracuse — no small feat considering how long and athletic the Orange were. Azubuike played an NCAA Tournament-high 25 minutes against Clemson, scoring 14 points with 11 rebounds.

“When you start thinking about (breaking records) you can rationalize.

And rationalization is one of the things that stops people from continued excellence, because they live in the past.

And then they stop adapting and they stop getting hungry,” Krzyzewski said when asked about potentially passing Wooden in Final Four appearances.

time Golden Gloves champion sporting a 10-1 record with his only loss –– disputed –– coming in Pennsylvania. He said he learned a lot form the experience and the proof is in the belts.

In his most recent bouts, back-to-back fights over two days in the Golden Gloves championships in Charlotte earlier this month, he gave both fighters he faced two standing eight counts in the matches he won, both by decision.

Hicks said seeing what Ashford does with the kids he works with says a lot.

“It’s positive. It’s so positive. I get to see all these young kids in here working hard, the drive that they have. Goldsboro is a definitely a nice community. I interact with the kids and they look up to me, so it just makes me go harder.

Because I want them to succeed just like I am succeeding.”

Atlanta native Sage Hicks, 21, works out at Steve Ashford’s Goldsboro training facility. A member of the United States Air Force, Hicks discovered the trainer after noticing an advertising flier at a local barber shop. the summer, warm in the winter.

Over the last few years, however, through financial contributions and bridging relationships for Ashford, such as with Parks and Rec, the gym is thriving –– and outgrowing its current space.

Ashford hopes to relocate soon to the recently-vacated W.A. Foster Center.

There is no timetable for that yet, and out of town trips to fights and events for his kids cost money, up to $400 and $500 sometimes.

Ashford said he gets the odd offering of gas money here and there, but he needs more sponsors like the one he found in Strickland to really make his dream of putting Goldsboro on the map, as far as the regional, perhaps national

boxing world is concerned. He might even churn out a championship contender or two, he said.

In the meantime, Ashford said he remains focused on churning out men –– taking the boys who come into his gym with untold obstacles in their paths and teaching them how to overcome.

Before training with him, those same kids who’ve gone on to jobs or to college or the military would have given up after the first no, the first failure, the first road block.

“They learned the hard work from me. The boxing teaches you not to give up. Boxing teaches you that nothing comes easy. You’ve got to keep striving.”

James Smith is back at work at his business, Smith-Holloway Memorial Funeral Services LLC, just a few hours a day during his recuperation from an accident that nearly killed him back in December. He says it’s a miracle that he’s still alive, and thanks God every day for that miracle.

A ‘miracle’ Local funeral director survives an accident that nearly killed him and is even back at work a few hours a day while recovering.

By BECKY BARCLAY bbarclay@newsargus.com

James Edward Smith has been a fixture at his and his wife’s business for almost eight years now.

Lately, he’s had to slow down and take things easy.

Three months ago, driving back from one funeral service to prepare for another, Smith, 50, and one half of the Smith-Holloway Memorial Funeral Services LLC in Goldsboro, was struck by another vehicle.

The impact nearly killed him.

James and Karen Smith are shown at their funeral business. Karen said the hardest part of the ordeal for her was knowing how hard it would be for her husband to take things easy during the recover process.

“I had been to a service in Fayetteville Dec. 15 and had left around 12:30 p.m.,” James said. “Around 1 p.m., I was in Spivey’s Corner at a light. I had the green light. This lady just ran right into me on my driver’s side, hitting the door right behind me. She didn’t even stop.”

He calls his recovery and continued improvement a miracle See MIRACLE, Page 2C

James Smith’s favorite white hearse was totaled in an accident in December as he was on his way from one funeral in Fayetteville back to his funeral home in Goldsboro to prepare for another funeral in Kinston.

When he saw his hearse for the first time after the accident, Smith realized just how lucky he is to be alive today.

Life&Family Pray it back with interest is always the best thing to do

James and Karen Smith continue to run their funeral business after James was nearly killed in a car accident back in December. They have had prayers and visits from friends, family and even customers during James’ recovery process.

and even go to work.

“We take so much for granted in life,” she said.

“Then when you have something happen, you have to stop and think and smell the roses. Initially, we wanted to bring him here to the funeral home, something familiar. And he would go and sit in his office. But now he’s suited up again. And I thank God for that.”

James agrees that people take so much for granted.

“Every day is such a blessing to be among the living,” he said. “Knowing what God did for me, for us, we just appreciate the little things, stuff I’ve always taken for granted, even the air I breathe.”

The Smiths are also grateful for everyone who prayed for them and came to visit James in the hospital.

One visit, in particular, was especially moving for Karen.

“The family in Kinston who James was on his way to serve heard about the accident,” she said.

“One woman in the family lived in Raleigh and came to the hospital that night. I was sitting down.

She came and kneeled down and began to comfort me. That just melted my heart. She was precious. It was so amazing.

People care. It tore me up.”

The couple is also grateful for the funeral home staff for pitching in after the accident to keep the business going.

Members of Best Grove Lodge No. 392 and the 12th Masonic District kept the family in their prayers and visited often.

“The community at large was supportive, as were different churches and pastors,” Karen said.

“And other funeral directors reached out to us, too, not only in this area, but in the country.”

“You’re looking at a miracle,” Karen said of James.

It’s freeing, that’s all.

And there should, if it hasn’t happened already, come a point when we all have the lightbulb moment that life is absolutely too short to waste on things — and people — that simply are incapable of contributing anything to the quality of our days.

And so my comeback to the “payback” notion, realizing there really is no getting absolutely even, is the addition of one letter.

One little letter, but oh, the difference it will make.

Instead of trying to get payback for the offense you suffered, try going with “prayback.”

In fact, let’s take it further — pray it back with interest.

I guarantee you, whether it teaches “them” a lesson or not, it will definitely benefit whoever uses it in the long run.

In faith circles, we’re often encouraged to pray for those who come against us.

That is not to say they win, though, or get away with anything.

But as I heard Joyce Meyer say recently, somebody that you pray for regularly, it is impossible to stay mad at them and keep hating them.

Sounds like some good spring cleaning advice to me.

BRIDGE/By Phillip Alder

A crazy bridge deal has instructive points Henny Youngman said, “How to drive a guy crazy: Send him a telegram and on the top put ‘page 2.’”

How to drive an opening leader crazy: Give him a wild auction like this one.

What should West lead against seven spades undoubled?

Would West’s choice of card change if East had doubled the final contract?

South opened four notrump, hoping partner had the heart ace, so that he could play in seven no-trump.

But when North denied that card, South confidently leapt to seven spades.

Against seven spades undoubled, a naive West would lead the heart ace, but South would ruff, draw trumps and claim.

A more rational West would lead a trump, hoping South had a two-suiter and eventually would lose a trick in the side suit because his ruffing power had been critically reduced.

In this deal, though, East must double seven spades — which means what?

There is little point in doubling a grand slam

because you think it is going down one.

You increase the penalty by a very small amount (50 or 100 points), but if they make it, they get even more points (from 190 to 260); and perhaps they will redouble.

Also, they might run from the doubled grand slam that was going down into another grand slam that makes.

Against a grand slam, double should show a void and a desire to get a ruff at trick one.

Now West ought to find the killing diamond lead.

This is the so-called Lightner Slam Double, named for the late Theodore Lightner.

Entertainment NBC film looks at images that propelled civil rights

Sudoku Saturday

Sudoku is a numberplacing puzzle based on a 9-by-9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3-by-3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Sunday.

and provide the pictures he needed to give the movement momentum.

Many demonstrations were planned before noon to give enough time for film to be delivered to New York to be shown on the network evening news.

Noted civil rights icon John Lewis is quoted in the documentary as saying, “without television, the civil rights movement would have been like a bird without wings.”

The movement changed television, too: evening news programs expanded from 15 minutes a day to half hour to keep up with the news.

Lack said he also hoped the documentary would give attention to some notable black journalists from the time.

Two examples: Ernest Withers, who took the picture of a man who stood in the courtroom and pointed to Till’s murderers during their trial, and L. Alex Wilson, who followed black students integrating a high school in Little Rock, Ark., and continued walking despite being beaten by a crowd of angry whites.

The documentary was initially made for MSNBC but, midstream, Lack said he felt compelled to request a prime-time window on the network.

Once common, documentaries are now such a rarity on network television that NBC said it hasn’t aired a two-hour film like this since 2004.

Mamie Till went to Jet because, at the time, it was the top news source for black America, said MSNBC’s Joy Reid, who participated in the documentary.

“If you were a mother in Mamie Till’s position, you wouldn’t go to NBC or CBS or even The New York Times,” she said.

The pictures “took the issue of lynching away from the grainy photographs of a body hanging in the woods,” she said.

The anniversary of Till’s death was later chosen as the date of King’s March on Washington, she noted.

“The civil rights movement never forgot Emmett Till,” Reid said. “He was to that movement what Trayvon Martin was to Black Lives Matter, a symbol that remained incredibly potent.”

NBC’s documentary shows how King innately understood the power of images beamed by the stillinfant medium of television.

A peaceful march or sit-in could draw yawns from a general public, yet a march of well-dressed children set upon by police with dogs and fire hoses produced pictures that made many Americans recoil when they saw them on the evening news.

Emmett Louis Till was a black 14-year-old Chicago boy, who was kidnapped, tortured and murdered in 1955 after he allegedly whistled at a white woman in Mississippi. Photos of his tortured body propelled the civil rights effort and is the subject of an NBC documentary “Hope & Fury.”

44DMH1015S©

NEW YORK — Gruesome images of a lynched Emmett Till were seared into the minds of many black Americans in 1955 and helped lead to the modern civil rights movement.

But few whites knew of their existence at the time.

That reality is at the top of NBC’s two-hour documentary about how images propelled the civil rights effort.

The film premiered Saturday, but will air again tonight.

ET as the 50th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King’s assassination approaches.

Till was the 14-yearold black Chicago boy visiting relatives in Mississippi, killed after a white grocery store clerk claimed he treated her rudely.

Decades later, she recanted her story.

That was far too late to save Till from being bludgeoned, shot in the head and thrown into a river.

Two men were acquitted of the crime, even though they later admitted to it.

Given a casket nailed shut, Till’s mother ordered it open and Jet magazine took pictures of his horrible maimed head, beaten beyond recognition.

“For a mainstream, news audience, my guess is a large number of people knew his name, but didn’t really know what happened, which is the best and highest calling for a documentary like this,” said NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack.

“Seeing these pictures underscores what happened, what really happened, why the murder of Emmett Till was such a shocking and important event in the civil rights movement.”

There’s no evidence that NBC ever showed the picture of Till’s body until a “Today” show story on the anniversary of his death in 1985, the network said. NBC wasn’t alone among the mainstream media.

“It was a different America,” Lack said.

As if to make amends, the documentary shows the image of a murdered Till seven times.

Laughs, tears and everything family.

Thursday was one of those days — a real doozie!

I knew I had to pick up Dad at 9:30 to go to Raleigh, and I had a full day.

Because my schedule was so full, I was up extra early to pack in as much as I could before I was supposed to be at Dad’s.

After I showered, dressed and folded a load of laundry and started a new one, my first stop was the grocery store.

I only had a few things to pick up, so that was pretty uneventful.

Next on the list was the UPS store. I had about five packages I needed to get out, so that took a while.

While I was finishing up there, I got a message: “Mom today is picture day and I forgot.

Can you bring me something to Georgia Tanner wear?”

No name.

Gurley Hmmm.

I assumed it was from Louise, because Thomas usually just makes things happen.

In my mind, if Thomas had forgotten an outfit for picture day, he’d borrow someone else’s.

It was 8:50.

Ugh. I rushed home and grabbed Louise an outfit – earrings and all — rushed out to the school and left the outfit in the office.

Phew.

Crisis averted.

• I texted Louise that her clothes were in the office.

Her reply? “What clothes?”

Clearly, I had the wrong child.

How in the world had I confused the two?

I looked back at the message and, like I said, there was no name.

It came from a weird phone number.

Also, there had been no reply when I asked “Louise” where here earrings were.

I couldn’t believe I’d done this.

Oh well, I hoped Thomas would figure out something.

Dad’s appointment was looming on the horizon, and I do not like to be late, so I picked him up, and we were on our way.

When I told Dad what had happened, he told me to grab Thomas’ clothes” “We have plenty of time.”

It didn’t look like plenty of time to me, but I decided to help Thomas out anyway.

We ran by the house, got Thomas an outfit and flew to the school.

I can’t wait to see how his photos turn out!

I also can’t wait for our children to have kids of their own.

• I mentioned that I was going with some friends to the Downtown Escapes room.

Well, because of the basketball tournament, we had to reschedule.

There are a number of Tarheel fans in our group (I know, just forgive them!), and they wanted to watch their team play.

We’ll be going in the not-so-distant future, and I’ll let you know how we fare.

• Here’s to hoping for warm weather!

Watch it girls Watch it girls! In the spring, a young man’s fancy turns on ... isn’t this weather just glorious?

This is written Thursday, but maybe Sunday will be as pretty, and you will be able to wear your new spring outfit.

You will be able to recognize me — I will be the one in the one in the very worn suit and old shoes.

• What you eat, how you act and the color of your eyes may determine your fortunes in matters of the heart. Here are some old wives’ tales about characteristics of wives: • If her ears are small, she’ll be stingy and whining.

• If her second toe is longer than her big toe, she’ll be the Georgia Tanner boss of the home.

• If her thumb sticks out when she makes a fist, she’ll hen peck her husband.

• If her eyes are gray, listen to what she will say. If her eyes are black, give her room and plenty of track.

• If her eyes are brown, never let your own look down. If her eyes are green, rule her mighty keen.

If her eyes are blue, she’ll be true.

• I wonder what Mrs. Marcos will wear for Easter?

She could not have brought all her 2,000 pairs shoes.

I cut out the article on her about the shopping spree in New York several years ago. In about 10 days, she spent $9 million.

Thought this might make Hal more tolerant of my spending. The story about all the Marcos’ antics with money has nearly ruined the daytime soaps and even “Dallas.”

Their story is so much more bizarre than anything TV can think up that they have taken the popular soaps and pushed them to the background.

If you read that in a 10-cent novel, you would not believe it. It also makes the Contras take a backseat. We jump over the biggies on the front page and “devour” the story about the Marcos.

On that pleasant note ... Happy Easter to you and yours.

Georgia then

Books placed backward: Art or nonsense?

Want to organize a messy bookshelf? The backward bookshelf is one of the easiest ways — albeit, not too functional — to clean up a hodgepodge of texts. It has also become a design craze that’s about as culturally divisive as national politics.

The Associated Press Looking for an easy way to organize a messy bookshelf? You might consider turning all the spines backward.

Yes, the backward bookshelf is one of the easiest ways — albeit, not too functional — to clean up a hodgepodge of texts. It’s also an interior design craze that’s about as culturally divisive as national politics in America.

Advocates tout the simplistic texture of the pages, while opponents argue that the idea is just plain stupid since you can’t see which books are which. Generally speaking, you love it or hate it.

The backward bookshelf began to trend in the mid-aughts, mostly as an artistic styling tool in photographs on smallscale design blogs or bookshop websites. Now, big-box retailers such as West Elm and The Container Store have incorporated backward bookshelves into their product displays.

A Google search for “backward books” will bring back millions of results, from sites including social-media mainstays like Pinterest and Instagram, various women’s magazines and some interior design staples like Apartment Therapy.

“I can see the appeal because a lot of times, if there’s a lot of books in a room, people find it distracting or overwhelming,” said Sarah Cole, a Boston-area interior designer. “But it’s not super-functional, and unless the books are purely decorative, it just seems challenging.”

Backward books, Cole said, do align with the neutral, monochromatic look that is popular now in design.

Achieving a simple, stylish look is exactly why Cari Shane turned her books backward.

Four years ago, the public relations executive was renovating a 1914 row house in Washington, D.C., when her teenage daughter suggested the idea.

“I had these beautiful orange chairs for the living room and I needed something to set them off,” Shane said. “I needed something that was going to let the chairs be the focal point.”

The books used in the display were ones Shane

This undated photo shows Cari Shane’s renovated row house in Washington D.C. Shane took her college-aged daughter’s advice and used backwards facing books to decorate a living space. had no plans to re-read.

“I couldn’t tell you what books they are,” she said.

On the other hand, Nathan Shafer, a lifelong reader and book collector, has filled his Arvada, Colorado, home with hundreds of books, none of which face backward.

“They’re entities, and when you turn them all backward it renders them one anonymous mass,” Shafer said.

And an anonymous mass, Shafer said, defies the purpose of books.

“They’re for the unique words, the unique ideas, the unique characters inside them,” he said.

“Part of the reason for hanging onto books is so you can go back and find something. You can’t do that if you’re hiding every identifying mark.”

There are occasions, however, when art is executed just right, at least according to the customers of Newtonville Books, an independent bookseller in Newton, Mass. The store is known around the area for its visually intriguing counter, which is filled with backward books in different sizes and colors.

The shop’s owner, Mary

Cotton, saw the styling tool on the website of an Australian bookstore six years ago.

“We wanted to do something that was really beautiful and interesting, some sort of book art project,” she said.

An architect helped design and execute the plan. Customers ask what books were used to make the counter, but Cotton said they never wrote down the titles.

And, since the books are glued into place, there’s no way of moving them.

“We had a lot of old used books that hadn’t sold, and others we got from library sales and the covers were damaged,” Cotton said. “I like it. It gives them another life. People seem to like it.”

A piece of history, rediscovered

Monday, March 26, 2018

Discovery of a forgotten Union troop that formed in Goldsboro will come to life during the 135th USCT Living History Weekend: The Lost Troop, in April.

The living history weekend will take place April 6 and 7 in downtown Goldsboro. Activities and events include an encampment, a pop-up museum, exhibits, a symposium, period music and well-known speakers.

The event is a culmination of three years of work in piecing together details of the lost troop of 1,154 men, including 220 from North Carolina. An estimated 30 soldiers were from Wayne County,

said Amy Bauer, who, with her husband, Jay, pieced together records that include stories of the U.S. Colored Troops and their mark on history.

“They enlisted here so this is where the 135th formed, right here in Goldsboro, probably downtown on Center Street,” she said. “You put your hand up and you pledge your life to the military — you deserve to be honored. And this troop was forgotten.

“These men deserve to be treated with total respect.”

Escort planned for airman’s remains

Linda Taylor, left, hands a basket of hygiene and cleaning supplies as they, 13 other social workers and two interns, deliver four of the baskets on Friday to families who are participating in the Salvation Army’s Rapid Rehousing Program. Since June 2017, the program has helped 76 families obtain and maintain stable homes.

Fifty years after he is shot down over Laos, Col. Edgar Fenton Davis is being returned to his family.

By STEVE HERRING sherring@newsargus.com

Wayne County residents are being asked to line Wayne Memorial Drive on Thursday, April 5, to give a hero’s welcome home to native son Col. Edgar Fenton Davis who is returning home 50 years after his death in the Vietnam War. “This is not a part of anything that Seymour Johnson Air Force Base is doing,” said Al Pedersen, base liaison coordinator for the USO of North Carolina.

“This is just something that I had an idea last Friday and started talking to people.

“I just feel too many people who came back at that time, they were spit upon.

They weren’t welcomed home in the manner I thought they should be.

This is a chance to give a proper welcome to a Wayne County native who died serving his country.”

Davis’ remains are scheduled to arrive at RaleighDurham International Airport at approximately 12:30 p.m. on April 5.

Family members will be on hand for the dignified transfer ceremony.

Following the ceremony, the Patriot Guard will provide a motorcycle escort to Seymour Funeral Home.

Pedersen said it is his understanding that one or two members of Davis’ family will also ride motorcycles in the escort.

The route from the airport will follow Interstate 540 to U.S. 264 to Interstate 795 to the U.S. 70 Bypass.

The procession will exit U.S. 70 Bypass at Wayne Memorial Drive to Seymour Funeral Home.

Fire services personnel are supposed to be on every overpass along the route with flags displayed, he said.

“What we are trying to get out to the community, and there is nothing really especially planned, is once they reach the Wayne Memorial exit, it will be a straight shot to Seymour Funeral Home,” Pedersen said. “We are just trying to make the public aware of this and those who are so

Program finds homes for homeless The Salvation Army gives people who meet the HUD qualification of homeless a new lease on life via its Rapid Rehousing Program.

By BECKY BARCLAY bbarclay@newsargus.com

Luis Reyes Gonzalez thanks a group of social workers from Wayne County Public Schools Friday at the Salvation Army after he and Daliris Cruz, also pictured, received a basket of cleaning and hygiene products for their new home. He also shared his experience with the Salvation Army’s Rapid Rehousing Program after they and their two children were having to bounce from house to house to have somewhere to live. They are the first people to graduate out of the Rapid Rehousing Program becoming self-sufficient on the first day of this month.

“(My mother’s) landlord noticed that extra family was in her home and said he would evict her if we didn’t move out.

We had no other family and were on the verge of being homeless, staying on the street or in our car.”

–– Daliris Cruz, graduate of the Salvation Army’s Rapid Rehousing Program

Some live in the woods, others in their cars.

Some live in vacant buildings that are not fit to be a home.

They are the homeless of Goldsboro.

The Salvation Army launched the Rapid Rehousing Program last June, designed to help get the homeless into suitable housing. Since then, the program has gotten 76 families into their own homes.

The Cruz family –– 34-year-old Daliris Cruz, her husband, Luis Reyes Gonzales, 38, and their children, Meelijah Rodriguez, 15, and Taina Reyes, 11 –– are recent beneficiaries of the program.

The Cruzes moved to Goldsboro last September from New Jersey, and were staying with Daliris’ mother.

“Her landlord noticed that extra family was in her home and said he would evict her if we didn’t move out,” Cruz said. “We had no other family and were on the verge of being homeless, staying on the street or in our car.”

Local shelters were full. But the county gave the family a list of agencies where they might turn for help. One of those was the Salvation Army.

The family was approved for the Rapid Rehousing Program and got a home Dec. 15.

“It means a lot to us,” Cruz said. “If it wasn’t for the Salvation Army, we would be homeless.

It’s good help for the community if you really want to move forward and not take advantage of the system.”

The program is funded by a grant from the state, said Salvation Army commander Capt.

Phillip Stokes. He said the Salvation Army has to match the funding, $64,000 this year. The Salvation Army spends its own money up front and is reimbursed by the state each month.

The Salvation Army’s target group at first was men in its homeless shelter. Then it branched out into the community.

Escort Continued from 1A inclined to come, stand in a moment of silence or something like this as the hearse comes by.”

The hearse is expected to arrive in Goldsboro between 3 and 4 p.m., but there are a number of variables, he said.

Pedersen said parking will be available at Wayne Community College and the Maxwell Center.

The Goldsboro Fire Department will have an American flag suspended over Wayne Memorial Drive from a firetruck somewhere near the funeral home.

Davis, an Air Force navigator with the 11th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, was reported missing in action after his RF-4C Phantom fighter-bomber jet was shot down Sept. 17, 1968, during a mission 15 miles south

of the city of Sepone in the Savannakhet province, Laos.

Davis was later declared deceased after search and rescue teams could not locate him or the fallen aircraft.

Davis’ remains were recovered in the Boulapha District, Khammouan province, Laos, in 2015, said Church Prichard, director of public affairs for the agency. It took until December 2017 to identify the remains because of the wide range of tests of evidence necessary to the investigation.

His name is listed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., on panel 43W, line 13.

Davis graduated from Brogden High School in 1953, and was a 1958 graduate of North Carolina State University.

The funeral service will be held Friday, and burial will be in the Eastern North Carolina Veterans Cemetery.

Women’s build planned for May The annual event takes place over the three days before Mother’s Day.

By STEVE HERRING sherring@newsargus.com

MOUNT OLIVE — Habitat for Humanity of Goldsboro-Wayne will holds its 11th annual Women Build May 10-13 at 202 W. Pollock St. “It is the single biggest event that we do each year in terms of funds raised and in terms of volunteers,” said Matt Whittle, Habitat for Humanity of Goldsboro-Wayne executive director.

“We are excited about it and excited about having it in Mount Olive.

“It is the first time it has been held in Mount Olive. Last year it was in the Saulston community and the year before that in Goldsboro.”

Whittle said he likes be able to move the event around in the county because Habitat serves all of Wayne County.

The event is part of national Women Build Week that is held the week before Mother’s Day. As part of that observance, Habitat for Humanity and Lowe’s have a partnership that promotes Women Build Week.

“The goal is to encourage women to come out and build — the idea is that it is empowering women to come out and participate in an activity, an industry that traditionally is not a female-led or driven industry,” Whittle said.

Typically the event is held locally over the three days before Mother’s Day. “Last year we had our best ever,” Whittle said. “We had 75 women come out over the three days. We are shooting for between 80 and 90 women this year. We are hoping to have them from all over Wayne County.

“To me, it is more a celebration of coming out and bringing folks together — bringing folks together to have an opportunity to hang out and have fellowship and a fun day together.”

While the work will be in Mount Olive, the Women Build is a countywide project, Whittle said.

Habitat receives strong support from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, both men and women, he said.

Also, women with local construction companies like T.A. Loving, Daniels and Daniels and Goldsboro Builders participate and do an amazing job, Whittle said.

The build days will run from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with each day broken into two shifts — 8 to 11:30 a.m. and noon to 3:30 p.m.

There is a $100 registration fee.

Women can sign up for one shift, or they can participate in all six .

All of the money raised goes back into local home-building efforts, Whittle said.

Lunch will be provided, and the participants will receive T-shirts, gift bags and door prizes.

“And everybody has a really good time,” Whittle said. “It is a fun event. We have ladies who have been coming for every year, or at least the last four or five years. They tell us they look forward to it.”

Volunteers must be at least 16 in order to be on the construction site.

Men will work that day as well, and the project requires that at least 50 percent of the volunteers on those days be women.

To register, visit www.habitatgoldsboro.org or impact.habitatgoldsboro.org/WomenBuild2018 or call 919-736-9592.

Volunteers also can register at the Habitat for Humanity of GoldsboroWayne office, 131 E. Walnut St., Goldsboro.

Linda Taylor hands a basket of cleaning and hygiene supplies to a family who have recently graduated out of the Salvation Army’s Rapid Rehousing Program on the first of this month.

Taylor, 14 other social workers from Wayne County Public Schools and two interns delivered four baskets Friday to help people in the program who are working to maintain stable housing.

Rehousing Continued from 1A Jacqueline Caron said the Salvation Army goes by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development standards for homelessness –– be in a shelter, sleeping in a car or on the street or in an abandoned building or place that’s not meant for human habitation.

When people go to the Salvation Army, Caron does assessments to find out their situation, how long they’ve been homeless and other information.

“You don’t have to be working or have any money to get into the program,” Caron said. “You just have to be HUD homeless and be willing to work and do what you need to do to not be homeless anymore.”

The Rapid Rehousing Program helps with security deposits, first month’s rent and utilities.

“We rapid rehouse them until they become self-sufficient,” Caron said. “I work with them to help them get a job by referring them to vocational rehab.”

Rapid Rehousing can help a person or family for 24 months in a threeyear period, Caron said.

“But so far, we haven’t helped anybody more than six months. Once they get into the program, they want to hurry up and get off it.

“Once I work with an individual who has been homeless and they get into their home, their whole attitude changes. Then they want to go look for a job to keep what they have. They want to better themselves.”

Like the couple that had been homeless for years, living in an abandoned building in a park.

“Once they got housing, I connected them with vocational rehab,” Caron said. “The woman was working only six hours a week, but finally got 30 hours a week at her job.

“The man did everything he had to do and when he came back in here, he was clean shaven, had a haircut and was wearing a suit. He looked 20 years younger. It has only been less than two months since they got a home and you can see the change in their looks, their demeanor, their attitude.”

Stokes said the man was so thankful that he wants to do a fundraiser for the Salvation Army.

Caron can identify with those who come through the Rapid Rehousing Program. She was once homeless herself, with her three children, and finally got out of that situation.

Recently, the Wayne County Public Schools social workers got together to do a project and put together baskets for four of the Rapid Rehousing participants.

“March is social worker month and we always do a project,” said Linda Taylor, social worker at Northwest Elementary and Rosewood Middle schools. “This year we thought we would do something with Rapid Rehousing.”

So they filled baskets with various cleaning supplies, oven mitts and other household items.

“I’m hoping the baskets will give them a start in their new home and make them feel good about getting out from under the homeless label,” Taylor said.

135th Continued from 1A played a role near the end of the Civil War. Gen. William T. Sherman’s March to the Sea, along with his March through the Carolinas, required manpower to move more than 60,000 troops. To accomplish the feat, Sherman recruited liberated slaves, and in March 1865, the 135th USCT was formed.

“They weren’t as much the fighters as they were the builders,” said Deborah Jones, who also has ancestral ties to the troop.

“It’s important that they had a contribution and they need to be recognized for their contribution for bringing to an end this Civil War.” The Bauers’ journey to uncover details of the troop and its existence led them on six trips to the National Archives where they pulled 360 pension records.

The records not only confirmed the existence of the 135th USCT but also included stories about the troop, as well as their names. The Bauers also combed through grave sites across eastern North Carolina, uncovering the locations of troop members.

The discoveries resulted in the Bauers being able to piece together family histories unknown to USCT descendants in North Carolina.

“It affects a huge part of the South,” Bauer said.

Sussie Sutton, who lives in Lenoir County, only recently learned that her great-great-grandfather may have served in the 135th USCT. “I am so elated to be able to find out some of my ancestry,” Sutton said. “It makes me feel, sometimes, like I’m on cloud nine.

“It gives me a feeling that I have to live up to what they went through. They fought for us so that we would be free, so that we would have opportunities that they didn’t have.”

The weekend is promised to draw people from several states, including Maryland, Georgia and Virginia, Bauer said.

“There’s got to be maybe 25 families of soldiers that we’ve identified,” which plan to attend, she said.

TODAY IN HISTORY

EDITORIAL Lasting honor

An airman’s sacrifice 50 years ago still resonates today It is still a couple of weeks away, but to learn that two Thursdays from now the Patriot Guard will be escorting home the remains of an airman shot down over Laos during the Vietnam War has us thinking.

Perhaps reflecting is a better word. Of course, Wayne County honors all of its veterans — and is grateful to all who have served or do serve our nation.

It just strikes of a different time, to look at the television over the weekend and see millions marching in protest, not just on Washington, D.C., but in cities across the country, even here in Wayne County. There is political unrest, a president enveloped in controversy and bodies are still being brought home from Vietnam.

What decade is this?

It seems that no matter our technological achievements, or our strides toward a more cohesive existence, the fundamental things remain — politics, poverty, war, death.

Society exists in a state of perpetual motion, either ascending or devolving, building or collapsing. Either can be interrupted, and often extreme swings in one direction are followed by a rapid correction back to center or, in counterextremes, the opposite direction.

It stands to reason that no matter how long the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan rage on, there will be others. No matter how controversial this president or presidency is, there will be others.

No matter how vitriolic or vile the previous election cycle was or this upcoming midterm might get, there will be others.

But, for a few moments on April 5, as the procession passes under overpasses adorned with firetrucks draping Old Glory over the railings in tribute, all the way down to Wayne Memorial Drive, we will again be reminded that it comes down to individual sacrifice, honor and courage.

It is because of those traits that we all still have the chance to swing with the pendulum, to play a part in the corrections and to be proud, no matter the angst we sometimes find ourselves in over this issue or that, to live together within these borders.

Trump intends to oust Shulkin as VA secretary It could happen this week, administration officials say.

The Associated Press

PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump is planning to oust embattled Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin amid an extraordinary rebellion at the agency and damaging government investigations into his alleged spending abuses, three administration officials told The Associated Press on Sunday.

Two officials said an announcement on Shulkin could happen this week, subject to Trump’s final decision as the White House hones in on possible replacements to head the Department of Veterans Affairs. One of the officials rated Shulkin’s chances of being pushed out in the next day or two at “50-50.” The three officials demanded anonymity to discuss a sensitive personnel matter.

Trump, who spent the weekend at his Mar-aLago estate, told associates that he would keep two other administration officials who had been under fire: White House chief of staff John F. Kelly and Housing Secretary Ben Carson.

“He did say that he’s expecting to make one or two major changes,” said Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy, a Trump confidant

who spoke with the president over the weekend, on ABC’s “This Week.”

“Now, other White House sources, not the president, tell me that Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin is likely to depart the Cabinet very soon,” Ruddy said.

The White House did not immediately comment. Shulkin did not respond to a request for comment Sunday.

Speculation over Shulkin’s fate has ramped up in recent weeks following a blistering report by VA’s internal watchdog in February that found he had improperly accepted Wimbledon tickets and his staff had doctored emails to justify his wife traveling to Europe with him at taxpayer expense.

Earlier this month, two people familiar with the White House discussions told the AP that Trump increasingly viewed Shulkin as a distraction as the White House floated the names of possible candidates to replace him, including conservative “Fox & Friends” contributor Pete Hegseth.

A separate VA watchdog investigation, due out in the coming weeks, is also looking into a complaint that Shulkin asked his security detail to accompany him to a Home Depot store and cart furniture items, according to two people familiar with the allegation who requested

anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

One person familiar with the White House discussions told the AP on Sunday that the White House was looking closely at roughly half a dozen candidates to head the VA, the government’s second-largest department with 370,000 employees.

Among the candidates being vetted include Hegseth, a former military officer and former CEO of the conservative Concerned Veterans for America; former Rep. Jeff Miller, who had been chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee; retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg; Michael Kussman, a former VA undersecretary of health; Toby Cosgrove, a former president and CEO of the Cleveland Clinic; and Leo Mackay Jr., a former VA deputy secretary who is now senior vice president at Lockheed Martin Corp.

In the event of Shulkin’s departure, deputy VA secretary Tom Bowman would serve as acting head of the VA until a nominee is confirmed by the Senate.

Bowman has also come under criticism at the White House for being too moderate to push Trump’s agenda of fixing veterans’ care.

During the presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly pledged to fix the VA by expanding access to private doctors

But a Trump administration plan to expand the Veterans Choice program remains in limbo after lawmakers declined last week to include it in a massive spending bill.

In response to the ethics issues, Shulkin has denied wrongdoing and complained about internal drama at the agency that has made it difficult for him to push through VA improvements, citing a half dozen or so political appointees there who were rebelling against him.

Porn star describes threat over alleged 2006 encounter with Trump The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Adult film star Stormy Daniels says she was threatened to keep silent about an alleged sexual encounter with Donald Trump in 2006, telling her story in a highly anticipated interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” broadcast Sunday.

Daniels said she was threatened by an unidentified man in Las Vegas to keep quiet about her alleged relationship with Trump, an incident that she Daniels said happened while she was with her young daughter. She said in the interview that she had one encounter of consensual sex with the future president.

“He knows I’m telling the truth,” said Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford. She does not allege that she was coerced in her encounter with Trump, saying, “This is not a ‘Me too.’ I was not a victim.”

The adult film actress provided little new evidence of her alleged 2006 affair with Trump but said she faced intimidation tactics aimed at ensuring her silence in 2011.

Daniels said that in the incident, in a parking lot, the man told her: “Leave Trump alone. Forget the

story.” She said he then looked at her daughter and said, “That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom.”

Daniels received a $130,000 payment days before the 2016 presidential election for her silence and has sought to invalidate a nondisclosure agreement.

The White House did not immediately comment Sunday on the interview. Trump, through his representatives, has denied the allegations. His attorney, Michael Cohen, has said Trump never had an affair with Daniels. Cohen has said he paid the $130,000 out of his pocket.

Cohen has said neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Daniels and he was not reimbursed for the payment.

In the interview, Daniels described a sexual encounter with Trump that began with him talking about himself and showing her an issue of a magazine with his picture on the cover. She said she asked, “Does this ... does this normally work for you?” He was taken aback, she says. “And I was like, ‘Someone should take that magazine and spank you with it.”’ She says she then ordered him to drop his pants and, in a playful manner, “I just gave him a couple swats.”

She said they talked some more, although he quit talking about himself, and that she became more comfortable.

“He was like, ‘Wow, you — you are special. You remind me of my daughter.’ You know — he was like, ‘You’re smart and beautiful, and a woman to be reckoned with, and I like you. I like you.”’

She said after dinner in Trump’s room, they had sex. He didn’t use a condom, she said, and she didn’t ask him to. Afterward, he asked to see her again, she said.

Daniels said that before they had sex Trump had broached the idea of her being a contestant on “The Apprentice,” and she likened it to a “business opportunity.” She said he called her several times and would ask if they could get together again and that he had an update for her. She said she felt that he was dangling the opportunity to keep her coming back.

“Of course. I mean, I’m not blind.

But at the same time, maybe it’ll work out, you know?” Daniels said.

In July 2007, a year after they had met, Daniels said Trump asked to meet with her privately at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles. She said they did not have sex, but he wanted to.

Daniels reported that Trump called her the following month to say he had not been able to get her a spot on his TV show. She said they never met again.

Daniels was asked why she’s talking now: “Because it was very important to me to be able to defend myself,” she said.

President pushes back against reports that he is having difficulty adding to his legal team.

The Associated Press PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump will not be adding two new lawyers to the legal team defending him in the special counsel’s Russia investigation after all, one of the president’s attorneys said Sunday.

Trump attorney Jay Sekulow said in a statement that Washington lawyers Joseph diGenova and Victoria Toensing have conflicts that won’t allow them to represent the president regarding special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

Sekulow had announced diGenova’s appointment last week.

Sunday’s announcement came just hours

after Trump used Twitter to push back against reports that he’s having difficulty adding to his legal team, saying he was “very happy” with his current attorneys.

“Many lawyers and top law firms want to represent me in the Russia case,” he wrote, adding: “Fame & fortune will NEVER be turned down by a lawyer, though some are conflicted.”

Neither the president nor Sekulow specified the conflict regarding diGenova and Toensing, who are married to each other and law partners, but their firm has represented other clients in the special counsel’s investigation, including former Trump campaign adviser Sam Clovis.

Sekulow said Trump was “disappointed” that diGenova and Toensing won’t be defending him in the special counsel investigation, but “those conflicts do not prevent

them from assisting the President in other legal matters.”

“The President looks forward to working with them,” he added.

On Sunday, diGenova and Toensing released a joint statement, saying, “We thank the president for his confidence in us, and we look forward to working with him on other matters.” DiGenova, who provided the statement to The Associated Press, declined to answer additional questions about the nature of his and Toensing’s representation of the president.

DiGenova had been expected to usher in a new strategy for the president after Trump’s lead attorney, John Dowd, resigned last week. Dowd had touted the cooperation of the White House and Trump campaign with Mueller.

DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, has been a fierce defender of Trump

on television and accused the FBI of trying to “frame” the president for nonexistent crimes.

Dowd was the primary negotiator and legal strategist who had been putting together the president’s legal defense in the Russia probe led by Mueller. The legal team shake-up also comes as Trump’s attorneys have been negotiating with Mueller over the scope and terms of an interview with the president.

Mueller is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and whether there was any collusion with the Trump campaign.

The president tweeted Sunday, “there was KEEPING Y OUR GARAGE DOOR

Santorum’s comments prompted outrage on social media a day after hundreds of thousands of teenagers and their supporters rallied across the U.S. to push for tougher laws to fight gun violence.

The demonstrations Saturday were led by students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people were killed last month.

Santorum said that if the rallies are about more than politics, then the country needs to have a broader discussion that doesn’t revolve around “phony gun laws” that don’t work.

“They took action to ask someone to pass a law,” he said of the demonstrators. “They didn’t take action to say, ‘How do I, as an individual, deal with this problem?’”

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT: Status of Atlantic sturgeon up for review PORTLAND, Maine — Federal fishing regulators say they are conducting a five-year review of threatened and endangered populations of Atlantic sturgeon.

Populations of sturgeon are listed as threatened in the Gulf of Maine and endangered in New York Bight, the Chesapeake Bay and off the Carolinas and South Atlantic.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration says the Endangered Species Act requires the agency to conduct the review to ensure the listings are still accurate. The listings are intended to be based on the best available scientific data.

The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission said last year that a sturgeon stock assessment indicated the population is still very low compared to its historical abundance. They face threats such as climate change, ship strikes and fishing.

Iran: Naming John Bolton to be national security adviser shameful It’s proof that the U.S. is intent on overthrowing the Iranian republic, Iran officials say.

The Associated Press TEHRAN, Iran — Iran has called the appointment of the former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton to the role of national security adviser of the United States shameful, Iranian media reported on Sunday, citing his involvement with an opposition group once named a terrorist organization.

The report by the semiofficial Fars news agency quoted Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the country’s Supreme National Security Council, as saying for an “apparent superpower it is a matter of shame that its national security adviser receives wages from a terrorist group,”

referring to Bolton attending a gathering of the Iranian opposition group Mujahedeen-eKhalq (MEK) group in 2017.

The U.S. removed MEK from its list of foreign terrorist organizations in 2012.

Shamkhani also said attempts by the U.S. to weaken Iran have only “laid the groundwork for improving the power and influence” of Iran. Bolton advocates regime change

Duke stumbles in overtime, loses heartbreaker to hot-shooting Kansas ■ Blue Devils paced by freshman guard Trevon Duval, who finished with 20 points on 9 of 16 shooting.

The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. — Malik Newman and top-seeded Kansas got past their Elite Eight road block on Sunday, knocking off second-seeded Duke 85-81 in overtime in a thrilling Midwest Region finale that clinched the Jayhawks’ first trip to the Final Four since 2012.

Newman scored all 13 of the Jayhawks’ points in overtime and finished with a career-high 32 to lead Kansas (31-7). The Jayhawks will face fellow top seed Villanova in San Antonio on Saturday after snapping a two-game losing skid in the regional finals.

This was college basketball at its best — two blue bloods trading blows for 45 minutes in what was arguably the best game of the tournament so far, one that featured 18 lead changes and 11 ties.

But Newman drilled his fifth and final 3 from the corner to make it 81-78 with 1:49 left.

The Associated Press MARTINSVILLE, Va. — The NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway has been postponed until Monday because of inclement weather.

Rain and light snow started falling Saturday afternoon and continued into the night, creating dangerous driving conditions on nearby roads and leaving little chance of getting the track cleared and dry enough to race Sunday.

Vettel wins Australian Grand Prix

MELBOURNE, Australia — Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel captured the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday, holding off his hard-charging Mercedes rival Lewis Hamilton in a dramatic start to the new Formula One season.

It was the 100th podium of Vettel’s career and it came in his 200th Formula One race. He is the fourth driver to claim 100 podium finishes, joining Hamilton, Michael Schumacher and Alain Prost.

■ Jalen Brunson scores 15 points to pace the title-hungry Wildcats.

The Associated Press BOSTON — Villanova is going back to the Final Four, and those underdogs should get ready for the top-seeded Wildcats.

Eric Paschall had 12 points and 14 rebounds, and the 2016 national champions beat Texas Tech 71-59 in a cold-shooting East regional championship on Sunday to reach the Final Four for the second time in three years.

Villanova (34-4) will play the winner of the Midwest final between top-seeded Kansas and No. 2 seed Duke. Sunday’s winners will join 11th-seeded Loyola-Chicago and their telegenic nun, along with No. 3 Michigan in the national semifinals on Saturday in San Antonio.

Sister Jean, prepare to meet Father Rob, the priest on the Villanova bench who provides spiritual support for the Wildcats.

Jalen Brunson had 15 points, and Donte DeVincenzo scored 12 with eight of the Wildcats’ 51 rebounds. After starting four guards, Texas Tech (2710) grabbed just 33 boards and shot just 18 free throws compared to 35 for Villanova and lost its chance to play for a championship in its home state.

The teams matched each other with 33 percent shooting from the floor and Villanova, one of the most prolific 3-point shooting teams in NCAA history, made just 4 of 24 from beyond the arc. The Wildcats need seven to set a Division I single-season record.

They’ll get that chance in the Final Four.

“Wasn’t really a pretty offensive game. But we played pretty good defensively too,” said Villanova coach Jay Wright, whose team spent eight weeks in two different stints as the No. 1 team in The Associated Press Top 25 this season.

“That’s why I give Texas Tech credit, they did a great job,” Wright said. “But we don’t rely on our shooting. There’s a lot more to the game. Our guys take pride in that. We never worry about missing shots. It’s fun when they go in but we don’t worry about missing them.”

■ Skilled observers can make life miserable for the game’s finest pitchers.

Watson shellacks Kisner for Dell Match Play crown ■ Wins matchup with fellow Georgia alum Kevin Kisner in 7-and-6 fashion.

The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas — Bubba Watson made the final of the Dell Technologies Match Play look as though he were on vacation all along.

Watson won his second World Golf Championships title Sunday with the biggest blowout since the championship matched switched to 18 holes in 2011, a 7-and-6 victory over Kevin Kisner.

Watson wasn’t as sharp as he was in the semifinals against Justin Thomas, whom he beat in 16 holes to deny Thomas going to No. 1 in the world ranking. He didn’t have to be in the final. If not for missing a 4-foot birdie putt on the par-5 sixth, Watson would have won the first seven holes.

Kisner had a lot to do with that. After escaping in 19 holes against Alex Noren in his semifinal match, Kisner didn’t put up much of a fight. He made four straight bogeys and only twice on the front nine was putting for birdie.

Watson had scheduled a family vacation out of the country on Sunday, which he had to postpone.

Watson figured he hardly ever makes it this far in golf’s most fickle format, so it was a good problem to have.

There was nothing fickle about his game, especially on the final day.

Watson never trailed in the 28 holes he played Sunday, and he was never seriously threatened.

The tougher match was against Thomas, the PGA champion who needed only to reach the championship match to replace Dustin Johnson at No. 1 in the world. Watson went out to a 3-up lead on the front nine, and when Thomas closed to 1 down at the turn with his first birdie putt, Watson won two of the next three holes to regain control. Thomas didn’t make another birdie until the par-5 16th, and by then it was too late. Watson made his birdie from 3 feet for a 3-and-2 victory.

Thomas said he was too consumed with what was at stake in the semifinals.

“I haven’t had such a hard time not thinking about something so much. And that really sucked,”

In this March 6, 2018, file photo, Chicago Cubs pitcher Yu Darvish throws during the first inning of a spring training baseball game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Mesa, Ariz. Darvish reportedly was tipping his pitches in the World Series, playing a role in two costly losses. The Japanese right-hander finalized a $126 million, six-year deal with the Cubs last month, but no one on his new team seems all that concerned.

Continued from 1B you’re on that court with those group of guys, it’s special.”

Villanova quickly fell behind 7-0 and trailed 9-1 — the largest deficit the Wildcats had faced in the tournament. But they scored 14 of the next 18 points to lead and closed the half on a 35-14 run for a 36-23 lead at the break. The 23 points was the lowest-scoring half of the season for the Red Raiders.

After falling behind by as many as 15 early in the second, Texas Tech got within eight points with under seven minutes remaining, and made it 52-47 on Brandone Francis’ 3-pointer with 6:06 left. They nearly cut it to three points when Evans found Zach Smith in the lane, but Paschall blocked him and sparked a fast break that ended with Phil Booth’s basket at the other end.

Texas Tech made only two baskets from there. Villanova had only one in the last three minutes but made its last 12 free throws.

Briefly...

Associated Press

Bubba Watson Thomas said. “I couldn’t stop thinking about it, to be perfectly honest. And I think you’re constantly getting questions about it with the media. But I need to be mentally stronger than that, and understand that it’s just a match.”

Noren beat Thomas in the consolation match, 5 and 3.

One year after Watson disappeared from among the elite in golf, he has won his last two starts. He was No. 117 in the world when he arrived at Riviera, where he won for the third time in his career.

With his 11th victory on the PGA Tour, he now is back up to No. 21.

And the two-time Masters champion added his name to the growing list of contenders at Augusta National.

“I’m looking forward to it, and hopefully I can get this focus and my putter rolling like it is,” Watson said.

Jets rescind free agency offer to Ndamukong Suh ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Ndamukong Suh won’t become a New York Jet. Acting owner Christopher Johnson said Sunday the team has rescinded its offer to the free agent defensive tackle.

Johnson was vague on reasons for the move, admitting though that it “didn’t seem to be in keeping with our long-term plan.”

Suh has said the Jets made the largest offer, something Johnson couldn’t confirm. The owner said he discussed the offer with the former Lions and Dolphins player with general manager Mike Maccagnan “and I think our thinking changed a bit. It was a pretty Associated Press high offer; all these good guys Ndamukong Suh will be a lot of money.”

Johnson has been in charge of the Jets while his brother, primary owner Woody Johnson, serves as ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Overtime Continued from 1B Trevon Duval scored 20 points for Duke. Freshman star and future lottery pick Marvin Bagley added 16 points and 10 rebounds in what could have been his final game for Duke (298), which fell shy of its first Final Four trip since winning the national title in 2015.

Grayson Allen had 12 points for the Blue Devils, but the senior’s 10-foot bank shot at the regulation buzzer went in and then out of the rim before spinning away to force overtime.

The big picture

Kansas: This might be the unlikeliest of coach Bill Self’s three Final Four squads. They are not stacked with obvious future NBA starters and they lost three times at home this season.

But the Jayhawks banded together to win the Big 12’s regular season and conference titles and now the Midwest Region.

By doing so, they proved to their coach that they were hardly soft — a claim that Self had made often earlier in the season.

Duke will also lose Allen, one of the best players in school history.

Don’t cry for Coach K, who has four five-star recruits committed to join the program next year.

But this season will likely be remembered as a lost opportunity for a program that expects to make the Final Four more often than not.

San Antonio... a look ahead

The Final Four will feature three teams that need no introduction and one from out of nowhere.

Though this year’s NCAA Tournament produced the biggest upset in the history of the event along with a seemingly endless string of unexpected results, the season’s last weekend will look a lot like it has over the last handful of years.

In one of Saturday’s semifinals, it’s a barnburner of a matchup between topseeded programs with rich histories: Villanova vs. Kansas.

In the other, it’s an upstart vs. another school that knows this road: No. 11 Loyola-Chicago vs. No. 3 Michigan.

Remarkable as Loyola’s run has been, this will mark the fifth time in the last six seasons that three teams seeded 1 through 4 have been joined by another seeded 7 or higher.

There will be a natural reaction to use dummy’s two trump entries to take the pointed-suit finesses.

Surely one of them will work.

First, though, count winners.

South has two spades, six hearts, one diamond and one club — wow, 10!

So, after taking the first trick with the club ace, cash the spade ace and play another spade.

West wins with his king, cashes the club jack and plays a club to East’s king.

East shifts to the diamond jack, but declarer wins with his ace, draws two rounds of trumps with dummy’s winners and discards the diamond queen on the spade queen.

Mitch Hedberg, a stand-up comedian who died in 2005, said, “I haven’t slept for 10 days ... because that would be too long.”

When you are in a contract of four hearts or four spades, start by counting your losers.

Then, if you can do it in under 10 minutes(!), count winners.

Sometimes, that will make the right line of play more apparent — as in this deal.

How should South proceed in four hearts after West leads the club queen?

South might have rebid three no-trump, which would have worked well here.

If you employ twoover-one game-force, I believe that a two-notrump rebid should show a big balanced hand and be forcing to game.

Then, a jump-rebid of three no-trump can show this type of hand: a good six-card major, 18 or 19 highcard points and 6-3-22 distribution.

Here, North would then have the quandary: pass or correct to four hearts?

Declarer has four potential losers: one spade, one diamond and two clubs.

My friends all say they can’t see us breaking up.

The problem is, his mom recently invited me to dinner.

You see, I’m not allowed to date, and if my parents knew, I’d be switched to an all-girls boarding school.

President Trump seemingly ‘casting’ White House staff via Fox News

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s favorite TV network is increasingly serving as a West Wing casting call, as the president reshapes his administration with camera-ready personalities.

Trump’s new national security adviser, John Bolton, is a former U.N. ambassador, a White House veteran — and perhaps most importantly a Fox News channel talking head.

Bolton’s appointment, rushed out late Thursday, follows Trump’s recent effort to recruit Fox guest Joseph diGenova for his legal team.

Bolton went on Fox to discuss his selection and said it had happened so quickly that “I think I’m still a Fox News contributor.”

Another recent TV-land addition to the Trump White House is veteran CNBC contributor Larry Kudlow as top economic adviser. Other Fox faces on Trump’s team: rising State Department star Heather Nauert, a former Fox News anchor; communications adviser Mercedes Schlapp and Treasury Department spokesman Tony Sayegh. The latter two are both former Fox commentators.

“He’s looking for people who are ready to be part of that television White House,” said Kendall Phillips, a communication and rhetorical studies professor at Syracuse University.

“This is the Fox television presidency all the way up and down.”

Trump’s affinity for Fox News is by now well-documented.

He has bestowed more interviews on the network than any other news outlet and is an avid viewer. People close to the president say he thinks Fox provides the best coverage of his untraditional presidency.

It also provides him a window into conservative thinking, with commentary from Republican lawmakers and right-wing thinkers — many of who are speaking directly to the audience in the Oval Office.

On-air personalities Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham are favorites of the president, who also speaks to them privately.

This past week Trump promoted Hannity on Twitter, saying: “(at)seanhannity on (at)foxandfriends now!

Great! 8:18 A.M.” The president’s early-morning tweets often appear to be reaction to Fox programming.

On Friday, for example, Trump tweeted he was “considering” a veto of a massive spending bill needed to keep the government open not long after it was assailed on “Fox and Friends” as a “swamp budget.”

The critic in question was contributor Pete Hegseth, a favorite of the president who has been rumored to be a possible replacement for embattled Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin.

Fox News came in for criticism this past week from CNN chief Jeff Zucker,

who on Thursday attacked the rival network by saying it has become a propaganda machine that is “doing an incredible disservice to the country.”

Zucker spoke at the Financial Times Future of News conference two days after a former Fox military analyst quit, claiming he was ashamed at the way the network’s opinion hosts were backing Trump. Zucker said that analyst, Ralph Peters, voiced what a lot of people have been thinking about Fox in the post-Roger Ailes era.

Still, in Trump’s Washington, lawmakers and influence-seekers know that the best way to get in Trump’s ear is often to get on Fox. Legislators routinely seek to get airtime when they are trying to push legislation or policy ideas, said congressional aides who sought anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss private thinking.

“A year ago, everyone was trying to figure out how to get into the building; now everyone is trying to figure out how to get on TV,” said Republican consultant Alex Conant.

This past week, for example, conservative lawmakers unhappy with the spending bill moving through Congress took to Fox. “This may be the worst bill I have seen in my time in Congress,” said Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on Wednesday.

And when the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, prompted a national conversation on gun laws, Fox contributor Geraldo Rivera used his platform to urge the president to support raising the age requirement to buy assault-type weapons.

“You’ve gotta let me give my pitch,” he said on “Fox and Friends” several weeks ago, noting that he would see Trump that night. “Here in Florida and most states a kid cannot buy a beer ... and yet he could buy an AR-15 legally.”

The hosts quickly pushed back. “Tell him to let the teachers carry concealed,” said one.

While the coverage varies by show, “Fox and Friends” tends to be Trumpfriendly, with the chipper morning show spotlighting his achievements and bashing the “mainstream media.”

On Friday, they featured a teen from the Florida high school where the shooting occurred who opposes gun control efforts, as well as a young conservative activist who interviewed Trump at a White House event the day before.

Also appearing Friday was White House counselor Kellyanne Conway — herself a constant presence on cable news — who pushed back at the idea Trump was focused on hiring TV personalities.

“The irony is not lost on me that you have a lot of quote ‘TV stars’ calling Larry Kudlow and John Bolton ‘TV stars,”’ Conway said.

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9-by-9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3-by-3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Sunday.
